Numbers don’t lie on importance of Memorial Day

OPINION

Thus the combined death count for the Civil War was an incredible 498,332.

One should also include the assignation of President Abe Lincoln as a “victim” of this effort to preserve the unity of America.

Lincoln’s epic Gettysburg Address has only four paragraphs.

But those few words of this great president continue to resonate in the minds of Americans, both veterans and non-veterans. His concluding comments in essence clearly sum up Memorial Day. Lincoln said: “It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they have, thus far, so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall See MINDS, pg. 4A

He told me the definition of that weird word is “a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising, unexpected and frequently turned with a bit of good humor.”

He pulled out a piece of paper and simply said, “Here’s a few.” And so they are: • Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

• The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it’s still on my list.

Commentary: Dairy industry keeps economy moving In Gov. Mark Dayton’s State of the State address back in February, he spoke of a new emphasis on working with the state’s business leaders to create more good jobs for Minnesotans.

As we celebrate Dairy Month this year, it’s worth pointing out that in addition to providing quality food for Minnesotans, our dairy sector is also answering the governor’s call by providing quality jobs and economic

activity for the state.

Nearly 4,500 farm families produce milk and other dairy products in Minnesota. Together, these family farms provide us with more than 1 billion gallons of milk and other dairy products each year. Those numbers are impressive enough, but when you factor in the related economic impacts and activity generated by this milk production, the true impact of Minnesota dairy farmers comes into focus.

When all impacts are factored in, Minnesota’s dairy sector supports 40,000 jobs around the state. The dairy sector also generates an amazing $11.5 billion in total economic impact for the state.

Breaking it down a bit more, the average dairy cow in Minnesota has a total economic impact of nearly $25,000.That’s a lot of impact for any animal, even one that can weigh more than a thousand pounds.

This economic impact isn’t just about Main Street. Dairy production also benefits other farmers by providing a steady market for locally grown corn and other feed. This creates stronger demand and higher values for Minnesota crops.

I am proud of our dairy industry, and I am proud that the Minnesota Department of Agriculture plays a significant role in supporting our dairy industry in the state. For example: • Our livestock development team helps dairy farmers with issues such as facility siting and permitting; • Our ag marketing services team promotes Minnesota dairy products at home and abroad; • Our Minnesota Farmer Assistance Network program and the Farm Advocate Program provide support and

assistance to dairy farmers facing financial and personal difficulties; • Our Dairy and Food Inspection Division helps protect consumer confidence by providing effective and fair inspection and regulation of dairy farms, processors and retailers; and • The state’s Rural Finance Authority, housed within the MDA, provides low-interest loans to beginning dairy farmers and other farmers eager to be a part of the state’s bright future.

If Minnesota is to have a healthy economy going forward, it’s going to take a team effort. Building a stronger state economy can’t just be a priority for Gov. Dayton, legislators and other government officials.

It must be a priority for all of us — farmers, teachers, Main Street business owners, Fortune 500 CEOs, public and private sector employees, consumers and voters.

While we all have an important role to play, during Dairy Month I hope Minnesotans will join me in thanking our dairy farmers for the super-sized contribution they make to our economy and our quality of life.

Esofea Maria Smithback absolutely adored the book “Pippi Longstocking”. So when she saw a man roll a body into the Two Hearted River, she wondered WWPD? Surely, Pippi wouldn’t have allowed some varmint-face to get away with murder? Surely Esofea’s boyfriend-ex-boyfriend Danny Tervo was involved.

Deputy Margarite DuCharme had all kinds of troubles. She’d tried to keep her personal life secret but her lover, Julia, got drunk at the community picnic and now everybody knew. Then there was her friendship with Sheriff Bruce Lodge, which was in question because he thought she lied to him.

But the biggest problem was that just about everybody in Marquette County hated Heimo Kock. And many of them used the same kind of fly line that killed him.

Part romp, part mystery, part high-brow literature, it could be argued that “The Wind Knot” can be hard to follow. One could say that it’s got an awful lot of characters to keep track of. But, contentions aside and overall, it’s hard to argue with a hero like the Dog, even though — surprisingly — Dog doesn’t have much to do in this book.

Galligan’s main hero is on the periphery this time, surrounded by eccentrics and scofflaws, still smarting from old pain. Those story keys lend a certain humanity to the unlikely, grizzled fisherman-cumdetective: Dog is flawed, which makes it easy to love him and easy to love this novel.

For mystery fans who don’t mind a little literary-ness in their novels, “The Wind Knot” is a good catch.

Cover story: Dairymen focus on function, over form

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Conformation is OK but milk in the tank pays the bills.

That, in a nutshell, is the business philosophy of Brad Nosbush, 47, as he described the economics of Nosbush Dairy, a 650-cow dairy operation in Fairfax, Minn.

“We have always chosen very heavy on production and economic traits, less so on conformation traits,” Nosbush said of his family operation, run with his brothers David and Leroy. “Our emphasis is on profitability so economic traits are the single most important criteria in our entire breeding and selection process.”

They use a variety of genetic lines to avoid inbreeding, however the emphasis is for elite sires expressing strong economic traits. The results are impressive.

• Their herd right now has the No. 8 genomic-tested cow in the world.

• Those 650 cows average slightly over 29,000 pounds of milk per cow.

• Those 650 cows are also averaging 1,184 pounds of fat and 919 pounds of protein.

• They are now selling short-bred heifers overseas into Turkey.

• Fertilized embryos may soon become another marketing opportunity.

Owning the No. 8 ranked genomictested cow in the world puts special emphasis on embryo transfer possibilities. “Getting more offspring out of this animal is the goal,” Nosbush said. He said the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in cooperation with major bull See NOSBUSH, pg. 11A

THE LAND, JUNE 10, 2011

NOSBUSH, from pg. 10A studs, has mapped the bovine genome (inheritance genes) and thanks to some remarkable technology, scientists can determine an incredible amount of information from a single hair sample pulled from a cow’s switch.

“This used to take years and years as you waited for that cow’s daughters and sons to be proven. Now from offspring at one-day of age you can pull a hair sample and identify elite individuals easier, cheaper, obviously much quicker and with greater accuracy.”

He’s somewhat cautious about the future of the fertilized embryo business, however. “There’s potential but with genetics you’re dealing with the bell-shaped curve and you need to find that individual at the extreme right side with multiple standard deviations above her parent’s average,” said Nosbush, who was pursuing a doctorate degree at the University of Wisconsin until deciding on a career in milk production with his two brothers.

“Sure, if you get the luck-of-the draw, there could be some profit potential in the embryo business. But we would never be able to sell embryos to large segments of the market because so many segments are conformation oriented,” Nosbush said. He added that milk will always be 90 percent of their gross income even though they may be able to tack on a few additional “income points” here and there.

He’s not putting down conformation because it’s part of sustainability in the dairy business. “There is so much selection on udder conformation that we don’t worry about that issue. Instead we concentrate on the economic traits of sire selection.”

Their three-times-a-day milking schedule also greatly lessens udder concerns. “You have considerably less stress on the udder simply because it never gets as many pounds at any given time. For us our 3X schedule improves both udder quality and milk quality.

“Also, I’m not so big on feet and legs because the rest of the industry puts so much effort on that category.

Instead we put more emphasis on productive life. Udder traits and foot and leg traits are indirect measurements of a cow’s longevity. Productive life is a very measurable direct trait. And it’s milk in the tank each day that keys the productive life of each animal,” Nosbush said.

They average about four lactations per cow. Having too many females is an ongoing issue but because of high productivity this has become a marketing plus.

Effort on preventive care for cattle, not cures NOSBUSH, from pg. 11A “We’re always selling females, either heifers or cows, generally to other producers.

“Because of high feed costs it’s a huge advantage to have moderate-sized, trouble-free cows that are good milk producers rather than having a big, beautiful cow that doesn’t give enough milk to feed the cats but eats a lot,” Nosbush said.

Market angles Does the strengthening of milk and cheese prices suggest some sustainability in marketing?

“When you look at futures today they look good,” he said. “Subtract out feed costs, however, and milk prices are certainly not excessive. Futures are level right now but in reality I don’t anticipate that our ‘pay price’ will be level. We’ll do some hedging to assure that we get to be in the game again next year.”

How much hedging can you do yet still feel comfortable that you aren’t bypassing potential opportunities? Nosbush said they are lightly hedged currently but do have some price protection through their livestock gross margin insurance. “We’re contemplating some more hedging,” he said. “It’s always difficult locking in a price because you might be wrong.”

But the flip side is locking in enough profit to keep you in the game. He admits to “betting wrong” in 2008, but in 2009, “we were right by a whole lot.

While other people couldn’t sleep we got to keep enjoying being dairy producers.”

Livestock gross margin insurance is a USDA offering somewhat comparable to crop insurance. In essence you are protecting a dollar amount of your milk price which keeps the bottom from falling out should milk prices fall.

Feed issues Being a 29,000-pound herd means lots of feed con-

sumption. “Our rations are very basic with corn silage and haylage. Our 3X schedule is important. But other things like sand bedding and having a cross-ventilated barn and parlor are big factors. Also grouping strategies (by size) permits different feeding levels.

“Special attention that first month after calving is another reason. If she stays healthy, she’ll do well.

But let a few things slip through the cracks right after calving and it’s a battle that entire lactation.

We put a lot of effort keeping them healthy rather than curing them after they are sick,” Nosbush said.

Their herd is divided into four groups, with a specific ration mixed for each group. Because of improvements in the nutrition modeling programs dairy producers have been able to ratchet down crude protein by balancing carbohydrate and protein fractions. “Our crude protein levels are 1 to 2 percent lower than they were 10 years ago and we’re feeding only two-thirds as much phosphorous. That means lower phosphorous levels in the manure which means lower phosphorous levels in our fields which is simply better for the environment.”

Nosbush: Employees dependable, paid for performance get so proficient at this task. And if you are calm and quiet, so too are the cows calm and quiet, and then it’s a much easier job. Good cow care and proper cow handling is a big part of success in dairy farming. ... We typically run higher components and since we’re paid on pounds of fat and pounds of protein, we do put lots of emphasis on cow care and nutrition.”

The benefits of super attention are obvious. For 13 consecutive years, Nosbush Dairy has won the Quality Achievement Award from 1st District at Litchfield, Minn., receiver of the

1994, the year of their first expansion which was their first free-stall barn.

Evolution seems inevitable in the dairy business these days. “We’re probably not done building; we’re just done at this site.”

Good people Labor is frequently an issue in the dairy business but start with good people, compensate fairly including special benefits and labor issues are minimal.

“Some of our employees have been with us 15 years,” Nosbush said.

“They’re dependable. We pay them very well for that performance. As an example, the last two months we have been under 100 somatic cell count.

That generates a good premium and is a tremendous indicator of cow health, especially udder health. All our employees to a tremendous job.”

Besides more production, that 3X schedule also gives milkers more flexibility. For example, two milkers do the morning milk six days a week (six, sixhour shifts per week); the other milkers doing both the noon and night-time milking work four, 11-hour shifts each week. Milking is in a 32-cow parlor, with 16 cows each side.

“Our milkers establish a routine and they make it look effortless,” he said.

“I’ve had to step in a time or two to help out and they just put me to shame with their speed and efficiencies. I used to think I was a pretty fast milker, but I can’t keep up with the guys and gals we’ve got on the milk lines today. They

There is a ready market to neighboring farmers for some of their manure but currently their own fields of corn and alfalfa consume virtually every gallon produced. “We realize that manure is valuable. We’ve had requests for manure.

We are slowly increasing our land base to match up with our manure capacity.”

They are cognizant of the importance of good records, especially when it comes to manure management. Their 16-page manure management document details application dates for every field, even including application rates.

Dried distillers grains (from the ethanol industry) have been in their ration for several years, plus beet pulp in season. “But right now DDGs are out of the ration because of price. I think that’s a short-term phenomenon. But today it’s a whole new world when it comes to feeding. We watch our rations closely. That’s the No. 1 expense of making milk. We used to feed a cow for $2.30 a day, but now it’s about $5 a day.

Needless to say, we’re always looking at rations,” Nosbush said.

Preserving quality of your tower silo preserves feed quality

THE LAND, JUNE 10, 2011

According to the International Silo Association, this is the time of year to focus on preventive maintenance on the tower silos that will store the harvest.

“Preventive maintenance on a tower silo helps ensure proper feed storage and is necessary for safety issues, as well as to preserve the quality of the tower silo,” said Leroy Shefchik,

<< MILKER’S MESSAGE >>

14 A

spokesperson for ISA. “If a common sense approach to silo maintenance is used, similar to how one cares for other equipment used on the farm, the result will be many years of troublefree feed storage.”

Many of the tower silos that owners are anticipating to use for their crop storage have been on the farm for

many years. The tower silo may appear to be sturdy, strong and in good condition but with time and usage, maintenance is essential.

A 20 x 60 oxygen-limited silo holds about $94,000 of shelled corn at $7 per bushel. A 20 x 80 poured-concrete silo or concrete-stave silo holds about $40,000 of haylage at $70 per ton.

At a glance, the silo may look fine; however, the ISA recommends a thorough inspection of the outside of the tower silo, as well as the inside, prior to filling each year.

Conduct an inspection of the inside of the tower silo when it is empty.

Check to make sure that all drains are open and working properly. Test near the bottom of the silo with a screwdriver to see if there is any deterioration of the concrete.

When inspecting the outside of the tower silo, start by cleaning all debris buildup away from the area where the wall meets the foundation in order to check for erosion around the silo base.

Next, make sure drains are not blocked and check that the slope will allow any surface water or silage juices to drain away from the silo base and foundation.

It is essential to make sure that the ladder and cage are in top condition at all times.

If you discover areas that need to be repaired, schedule your silo manufacturer early in the season to avoid lastminute rush and scheduling difficulties. The ISA has a “Silo Operator’s Manual” which contains valuable information on silo maintenance, as well as the production of top-quality silages. Copies can be obtained from your local silo dealer or contact Shefchik at (920) 655-3301.

Change is good Reflecting on their change from tiestall and pipeline milking, Marshik said, “we’re getting into that age where we’ll soon be looking at retirement. So in essence we had two options: a) stick with the old barn and milk it out ’til there’s nothing left and then sell everything off, or b) I want this to be a dairy farm into the future so you build something should a family member want to take over, or someone else can purchase. Anything making a profit is salable.”

Their oldest son, Daniel, 27, is currently in the Navy but after “seeing the world” is expressing interest in coming back to Minnesota and milking cows. Daughter Rachael Maus, 24, attends Minnesota School of Business and is married to a dairy farmer. Tony, 21, attends the University of North Dakota majoring in chemical engineering and pre-law so he isn’t a likely dairy farmer candidate. Jessica, 21, is a criminal law major at St. Cloud State University.

cleaned, and then the issue stopped.

“Apparently the camera lens collected some smear causing a malfunction of some of the prep details,” Palmquist said. Indeed one has to see a robotic system function to comprehend the multiple tasks being performed as part of each milking operation.

It works about like this: A computer scans an ID collar tag to properly identify each cow upon entry into the milking chamber. Then an exact amount of grain or “cow candy” is dispensed to match the requirements of that particular cow. Next the system disinfects and washes the teats, then it fastens the cups starting with the right/rear quarter teat.

Because each quarter produces a different amount of milk, the robot in essence milks each quarter separately, and teat cups drop off sequentially.

Once cups are off, the robot moves them aside and the udder is again disinfected prior to that cow being discharged back to the free-stall area where forage feeds, water and two automatic back scratchers are available.

SCC indicator of progress ROBOT, from pg. 15A the robotic milking world, Lely and DeLaval. However, Marshik and Palmquist had already made the decision to stay with their local dealer, Athman Dairy Supplies, who already was a DeLaval dealer. They looked at several dairy farms with systems already installed, including a Pennsylvania dairy farm where they picked up on the idea of “finger gates” that give individual cows access from their free-stall area to their VMS area.

Their older barn handled only 81 cows so the transition to robotics included adding several “new faces” into the milking lineup. Robot systems can accommodate about 70 cows but right now their system is doing 61 cows per robot. “We won’t ramp up to 70 cows until all cows, especially the older ladies, are relaxed about the system.”

Palmquist commented on the transition: • The heifers adjusted almost immediately. They were very easy.

• The older cows are taking longer.

• It was a different management change for us. In a tie-stall situation, your daily walk down the aisle lets you detect any animal off feed, not feeling well, etc. You did, in a sense, manage each cow individually.

• With robots you manage as a herd

even though you still observe each individual cow. You know overall feed consumption but you don’t see individual appetites because we do a drivethrough feed lane.

• We know individual consumption in the robots because a trigger mechanism is geared to pre-set diets for each animal.

• The DeLaval robot system measures conductivity of the milk which is a salt content measurement. And the higher salt content can be an indicator of mastitis, i.e. a higher somatic cell count.

• Also it shows these higher “spikes” individually by quarter which then allows us to treat that particular animal specific to the ailing quarter.

Information overload “There is so much information in the system that we have not yet gotten a full handle on how to totally manage what it offers.

Some cows want producers to ‘hold their hands’ on this dramatic change. Marshik simply said, “Yes, I’m glad we made the decision.”

Palmquist, perhaps more accurately, said, “I wish we would have done it when I was a few years younger!” Learning wasn’t easy, or comfortable.

“The first two months we actually lived in this barn because it was subzero weather and we didn’t want to

walk back and forth to the house. We have heat, a small kitchenette with microwave, refrigerator, a bathroom, even a futon that pulls out to a sleeping unit. We knew we had to commit to 24/7 when the cows were learning how to adjust to this new environment.” she said.

Marshik admits that milk production has slipped slightly during this adjustment period to just under 22,000 pounds per cow currently.

“The late lactation and mid-lactation cows were most affected,” he said, but indicated that it’s still too early to make predictions.

Big investment Robotic systems aren’t cheap, costing about $250,000 per system (70cow maximum capacity). However, the couple’s investment was significantly more because they permitted and built the manure system for future expansion of another 140 cows. Everything, even runoff control from open lots, was built to accommodate a doubling of their current numbers. That even includes a larger “viewing area” because they visualize visitors would be frequent, and often in bus load groups.

“These additional cost items project to about a 15-year payback,” said Marshik, now a fifth-generation farmer on this Century Farm.

Between rented and owned ground they farm about 550 acres with 380 acres corn, 140 acres alfalfa plus some pasture. Alfalfa gets both bagged and big baled.

Milking frequency, still in a transitional mode for some cows, averages about 2.1 milkings per 24 hours. “We have some going through three times a day; a couple are in there four times a day but there’s still a lot of them getting used to the system, and the frequency that best fits them. We still have about 20 cows that need some assistance. They stand in front of the robot gate and just a nudge from us and they’ll go on through,” Marshik said.

Palmquist said, “We were told by other robotic farmers that there are some cows that are so used to human interaction that they have some difficulty adjusting to the robotic system.

Some of our cows simply are friendlier. They sort of want us to ‘hold their hands’ ’til they get used to this new technology.”

Getting back to that “cow candy” mentioned earlier, right now it’s mostly linseed meal, soy hulls, carmel flavoring; sort of an appetizer menu to draw them into the parlor.

Tips for pork producers to beat the heat this summer Summer appears to have finally arrived here in the Upper Midwest, and with it, the challenges of managing livestock to minimize heat stress.

Pigs, in particular, can be a real challenge, since they do not have functional sweat glands like many other livestock species to assist them in efficiently removing body heat. Although most pigs today are raised in modern facilities that provide some control

over the thermal environment, we are still limited in most facilities with our ability to cool pigs during extreme heat, and therefore all possible options should be considered.

THE PORK PROFESSOR

Pigs naturally remove body heat during periods of heat stress through a combination of accelerated respiration, decreased feed intake, increased water consumption and adjustments in physical activity and

ing higher temperatures as well.

How can pork producers minimize the negative impact of hot weather on their animals?

Preparation and maintenance of cooling systems Prior to extreme summer temps, cooling systems need to be checked to ensure proper function. Ensure thermostats, fans, air inlets, drip coolers, sprinklers, cool cells and any other related equipment are operating correctly and are set for summer usage.

The use of sprinklers along with fans can reduce the effective temperature in barns as long as the sprinklers are set correctly — sprinklers that produce a fine mist will increase humidity levels in the barn, reducing the effectiveness of minimizing heat transfer via evaporation and respiration, and therefore should be avoided. Similarly, cool cells will be much more effective at lower humidity levels, and therefore ventilation systems should be adjusted to ensure excess moisture is removed from buildings.

Adjust the feeding program Since pigs will reduce their voluntary feed intake during periods of high temperatures, increase the nutritional density of the diet for growing pigs and lactating sows. Increasing the caloric density by including increased fat levels in the diet also reduces the amount of heat liberated by the pig when digesting the feed, thus additionally reducing the heat load.

However, if other nutrient levels are not also increased accordingly, animal performance will still suffer due to deficiencies in the levels of some nutrients.

Modify procedures during load-out and transportation of pigs Perhaps the most stressful time for pigs in periods of heat is during transportation.

Fast pigs that are going to market 12 to 18 hours prior (remove feed, but not water) — this will decrease gut fill in the pigs during loading and transport, minimizing the heat of digestion while also reducing transport sickness.

By Mark Whitney movement.

Respiration, the pigs’ primary mode of heat dissipation, is increased by increasing the respiratory rate, thus allowing increased heat loss through evaporation from the lungs. Pigs breathing at rates greater than 50 respirations per minute while resting would indicate that heat stress is occurring, and is the most effective way to determine if pigs are overheated.

Voluntary feed intake is also reduced during periods of heat stress. The digestion process involves an increase in heat production, and thus, reducing feed intake results in less internal body heat being produced — however, reduced feed intake also results in reduced animal performance and production.

Water consumption is increased as much as six times over normal during periods of high heat, allowing the animal to account for increased water loss due to respiration and increased urinary excretion. Similar to feed intake, animal movement is decreased during hot weather in order to minimize heat production due to muscular contractions. Pigs will spread themselves out and lie apart, maximizing contact with concrete or metal flooring or areas with moisture in order to optimize heat transfer from the body.

The presence of bedding material, such as straw, however, minimizes the ability to remove body heat, further increasing heat stress. As noted in Table 1 (below), the thermoneutral range (range of temperatures where an animal is most comfortable) is affected not only by flooring type but also body weight, with larger animals not tolerat- See PROFESSOR, pg. 23A

Russia’s export lift Supply, demand bit impacts markets here out of sorts

Grain Angles Planting struggles; price volatility

The following market analysis is for the week ending June 3.

CORN — Old crop corn stayed within its recent range this week with a slight bias to the upside. New crop got off to a slow start, but by the end of the week had established a new contract high at $6.96 3/4 per bushel.

The weak start to the week was influenced by Russia’s announcement they would lift their 10month ban on grain exports. This would mainly affect wheat. Our wheat markets reacted negatively, and corn and beans followed. Russia also raised their bank interest rates, which pushed our dollar to one-month lows.

PHYLLIS NYSTROM The dollar’s move provided a Country Hedging reason for buyers to return to St. Paul commodities. New money was seen entering the market as we flipped the calendar to June which provided underlying support.

A private analyst’s acreage estimate of only 87.2 million planted corn acres gave the market an added boost mid-week. What growers will really plant is a major unanswered question. Will they take the prevent plant insurance payment and not plant those acres? Will they continue to plant as long as possible?

Will they switch acres initially intended to go to corn to an alternate crop?

Adding to the frustration of how many corn acres will get planted or lost is the flooding along the Missouri River. Trying to balance “lost” corn acres against additional corn acres thought to have been planted in Iowa and Nebraska is a game of darts; just throw one and see where it lands.

Planting progress is anticipated to be in the high

As we move into June, the livestock markets are trying to recover from a fairly sharp sell-off.

Supply and demand seem to be a bit out of sorts causing the recent weakness: plenty of supply and a waning demand picture for both cattle and hogs.

Cattle have had a rather severe drop in price over the past 30 days, all precipitated by the increase in market-ready cattle and softening demand for beef. The number of cattle on feed is well above year-ago levels giving the packer plenty of inventory to select from particularly in the southern feeding areas.

Export business has slipped during this period and with the JOE TEALE inclement weather here in the Broker states, grilling season is off to a Great Plains Commodity slow start hurting domestic Afton demand. As we move through June and the weather becomes more cooperative, expect the seasonal demand for beef to increase as the cookout season gets into full swing. This should bring about a stabilization of cattle prices and a recovery for a short period of time.

The fact that our economic situation is still weak does not bode well for a long-lasting upward move in prices. Therefore, a brief recovery is in order followed more than likely with a stagnation of prices and the possibility of further weakness later this summer.

Producers are urged to keep abreast of market conditions and use rallies to protect summer and fall inventories.

Likewise, the hog market has seen prices tumble over the past 30 days, but not quite as severe as the cattle. Supplies of market-ready hogs remains adequate to meet current demand and packers have

As we struggle to get the last, straggling acres planted on the flood-challenged fields, the markets roll in volatility.

If there ever was a year when the growing conditions will be critical, it is this year. Many expect that corn producers will take prevented planting crop insurance on acres that were not planted by May 31, because the profit opportunities are so great. Yet, much of this will be determined by the weather that these acres receive.

The long-range forecast predicts U.S. Midwest weather conditions to be wet and cool during the summer.

June weather is seen as somewhat similar to what we experienced in TOM NEHER May. July and August are seen to be a transition from a wet and cool AgStar VP Agribusiness & Grain Specialist bias to more-normal weather.

Rochester The abundance of subsoil moisture and the gradual drying will prevent a true drought from developing in the Corn Belt. Yet, significant dryness will remain in the southern Plains and the interior southeastern states. The threat of LaNina returning this winter could propel the southern drought into the Corn Belt for the 2012 growing season.

As mentioned above, much of this year’s crop potential will be determined by the weather that the lateplanted acres receive. If the late-planted corn can avoid an early frost, with cool, wet growing conditions; large yields could develop.

In this event we will likely be struggling to dry down the crop for suitable storage. We would get the chance to try out all of the new grain drying setups that we installed last year and didn’t need to stress test. We may want to start looking at securing drying fuel if this were to come to fruition.

Flood threat lends measure of support to beans market at the moment.

For May, corn was down about 1 percent of its value or 6 1/2 cents, but it is nearly 19 percent higher since the end of December. This week, July corn was down 4 1/2 cents at $7.54 (closed 12 1/2 cents lower on Friday) and December corn was up 2 1/4 cents at $6.86 1/4 per bushel.

SOYBEANS — As we returned from the long holiday weekend, soybeans followed wheat and corn lower off the announcement that Russia would lift their 10-month old grain export ban as of July 1.

The flood threat in the western Corn Belt lent a measure of support this week as areas scrambled to plant. One estimate for total acres lost to Missouri River flooding is 350,000 to 400,000 acres.

While 51 percent of the bean crop was in the ground by Memorial Day (average is 71 percent), this week and next week should provide ample opportunities to push planting. Forecasts are warmer and drier for the next one to two weeks.

This was the slowest planting progress since 1996.

Planting progress is expected to be 60 to 70 percent complete June 5 as compared to the 82 percent average. Emergence was 27 percent compared to the 39 percent average on May 30.

Fund buying was noticeable by the second day of the new month, pushing soybeans sharply higher and accounting for most of the week’s gains. July soybeans were 34 3/4 cents higher at $14.14 1/2 and November soybeans were up 28 1/2 cents at $13.97/bu.

Weekly export sales were at the low end of expectations at 3 million bushels for old crop and 2.7 million bushels for new crop. Crushing plants in the poten-

tial flooding area in Iowa and Nebraska were being temporarily closed. Soybean basis was mostly flat to weaker during the week.

OUTLOOK: Disappointing economics and lackluster demand are being offset by planting delays, flooding, a weak dollar, fund buying and a strong corn market.

July soybeans pushed to a seven-week high of $14.19 1/2 per bushel. November beans have a slight uptrend with the next targets at $14.25 to $14.50 and $13.50 first support. During May, soybeans were down 1.2 percent or 16 3/4 cents. Since the beginning of 2011, beans are down 1.3 percent.

NYSTROM, from pg. 22A 90 percents by June 5 versus 86 percent this past week.

Emergence last week was 66 percent as compared to 78 percent on average. The recent warmer weather should promote decent development this week.

We saw our first corn condition report this past week. It revealed 63 percent of the crop in good-toexcellent condition, only 6 percent below the fiveyear average. This week’s estimate is leaning toward a 1 to 2 percent decline in conditions.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture this week also clarified that they cannot extend the dates on prevented planting insurance.

Export sales were delayed until Friday this week due to the Memorial Day holiday. They were an acceptable 18.6 million bushels for old crop and 9 million for new crop.

Livestock and ethanol margins got squeezed this week, but ethanol production was up 7,000 barrels from the previous week to the highest level since March. Ethanol margins actually went red with high corn basis levels having to be paid and ethanol prices flat. Broiler egg sets were up 2 percent from last year and chick placements were up 1 percent from last year. Feed wheat is getting more attention in South Korea as a feed substitute for corn.

OUTLOOK: July corn is in a $7.25 to $7.75 range and December corn in a $6.55 to $7 range. We could be sideways or higher until we see more acreage numbers closer to the end of the month. Sell-offs should be limited by acreage uncertainty and a weaker dollar, but the upside will be limited by improving weather and the possibility that the worst news may be factored into the

Avoid moving in heat

PROFESSOR, from pg. 20A Provide extra space in transportation trailers by loading fewer pigs — air movement is the main method of cooling pigs during transportation, so allowing extra space for air movement around pigs is key along with keeping transportation vehicles/trailers in constant motion along with opening up all vents and slats.

Also, try to avoid moving pigs during the heat of the day, and allow more time for loading of pigs.

Pigs are much more apt to become fatigued during hot weather, and therefore additional time and patience is required to effectively load pigs while minimizing stress, both on the pig as well as the handler.

In the short term, further weakness could be expected as the market searches for a summer low.

This will likely be followed by a short-term rally into the later summer months.

Most in agriculture ‘bullish’ about commodity prices PROGRAMS, from pg. 24A ag lenders. Most lenders based farm real estate finance decisions on the collateral value of the farmland, which was increasing at a phenomenal rate each year, and paid little attention to debt repayment capacity or cash flow ability. By the end of the 1970s, the Federal Reserve Bank switched its monetary policies to control inflation, and began raising interest rates. By 1981, the prime interest rate reached an almost unthinkable rate of 21.5 percent, resulting in high interest rates for farmers who had built up a

significant amount of term debt during the late-1970s and early 1980s.

The impact was almost immediate on highly leveraged farmers, and average values of farmland dropped by 50 percent in the mid-1980s from the peak land values in 1981. This was the beginning of the “1980s farm crisis” which resulted in thousands of farm foreclosures across the Midwest, and lead to the failure of 3,000 banks during the 1980s, mostly in rural areas.

Currently, most people associated

with agriculture are “bullish” about commodity prices, land values and the overall agriculture economy, which is similar to the late-1970s. Usually, when everyone is thinking one direction is when things change, and sometimes those changes can occur quite rapidly. Just look what happen to the home real estate market across the United States in the last three years.

Even with the strong agriculture economy that currently exists, one wonders how many farmers are adequately prepared for a sudden reduction in grain exports, resulting in a rapid drop in grain prices, along with lower farm profits and potentially higher interest rates. Here are some “yellow caution flags” to think about with today’s agriculture economy.

soybeans for seed, fertilizer, chemicals and fuel is expected to increase 10 to 15 percent for 2011, and is nearly double the cost of production five to six years ago.

• Land rental rates are also starting to rise quite dramatically in many areas, with increases of 30 to 50 percent in the past two to three years in some locations.

• The increased cost of production, combined with the higher land rents in most areas, means that for most producers the break-even price for corn production is now near $4 per bushel, and $9.50/bu. for soybeans. These figures could rise even higher in 2011 in areas with reduced yields due to late planting and poor growing conditions.

Many key differences between 1980s and now tion today than they were in the early 1980s, and most ag lenders have taken a much more strategic approach on their lending principles, as compared to a few decades ago.

Following are some key reasons why farm businesses and ag lenders might be in a stronger position today on financing agricultural real estate than they

MARKETING

were in the 1980s.

• There is a good chance that ag commodity prices will face volatility over the next few years, and will incur some periods of lower prices; however, prices are not likely to stay extremely low over several years, given the strong world demand for grain that exists.

See PROGRAMS, pg. 28A

THE LAND, JUNE 10, 2011

PROGRAMS, from pg. 26A prices start to drop rapidly.

• What will happen to grain prices if export markets start to soften in the next couple of years, or if there is reduced grain demand for livestock production or renewable fuel production, due to high grain prices or limited grain supplies?

• What would be the impact on grain prices, land values, the farm economy, etc., of some worldwide event, such as a terrorist attack, disease outbreak, etc., in the next 12 to 24 months?

• If land is purchased at today’s prices, will that land purchase still be economically viable at $3.50/bu. corn prices and $8.50/bu. soybean prices?

• Are farm businesses adequately prepared from a risk management standpoint to withstand a major downturn in the agriculture economy in the next one to two years?

• Are farmers paying adequate attention to overall farm debt levels and the repayment capacity for term loans that have been added in recent years for purchases of land and other capital assets?

Does the current strong commodity prices and excellent average net farm incomes in recent years, along with the rapid increase in farmland values, automatically mean that we are headed for a repeat of the “1980s farm crisis”? Not necessarily, as there are a lot of differences in the financial management of farmers now, compared to the 1970s and 1980s.

Many farmers are in a much sounder financial posi-

PROGRAMS, from pg. 27A • The average farm debt-to-asset ratio in the United States has declined considerably in recent years, and is now only 10 percent, which is well below average farm debt levels in the 1980s.

• Much of the farmland today is being purchased by well-established farmers, who are combining this with other owned and rented land, limiting the overall cash flow impact.

• Many farmers are paying 50 percent or more down on the land parcels that they purchase, and thus are only financing 50 percent or less of the purchase price, as compared to financing 75 to 80 percent in the 1980s.

• Most ag lenders are limiting how much they will borrow on farmland purchases, both in terms of percent of purchase cost, as well as total dollars per acre, which provides some room for a downward adjustment in land values.

• Most ag lenders are looking at debt repayment capacity and cash flow ability of farm businesses before they finalize loans for farmland purchases, and are factoring in potential downturns in land values and commodity prices.

Bottom line Prospects look good for 2011 and 2012 from a farm profitability standpoint, especially in the crop sector, as

well as for the overall ag economy in the United States, and interest rates will likely remain low for both farm operating loans and longer-term loans. This scenario is likely to result in continued strong demand and prices for Midwest farmland during the next couple of years.

However, producers, ag lenders and others connected to the agriculture industry need to heed the warnings issued by the FDIC and the Federal Reserve Bank, and be wary of the “yellow caution flags” that things could be changing in regards to farm profitability and loan repayment ability, thus affecting farmland purchase decisions.

Overall, farm businesses and ag lenders may be better positioned today than in the early 1980s to withstand a downturn in the agriculture economy, but there are still many farmers who could be quite vulnerable to sudden changes in farm profitability.

Farmers need to work with their farm management advisers and ag lenders to develop sound risk management and financial management strategies to protect the financial stability of their farm businesses when considering land purchases.

Elbert did three runs on this approximate 125yard water run.

This particular water spot corners up against my garden so I invited myself to mount up on this unique tiling machine.

It worked. By 8 p.m. or so, that water spot had disappeared.

Sum and substance: Don’t be bashful, even if the neighbors might chuckle. But the bottom line is that pattern tiling still works better.

Rich Elbert of Olivia is a resourceful (I don’t want to use the word “ingenious” or I’d be buying coffee for a week) neighboring farmer and trucker.

Actually farming is his hobby; he usually has 15 to 20 semi trailers traveling America hauling everything from seed corn to watermelons.

Anyway, on May 29, we got soaked with nearly 2-inches of rain. The cornfield you see was only seven days old so suddenly standing water was an issue in this particular corner of the field untouched by tile.

Well, Elbert is no dummy. He knows water seeks its own level, even in the absence of tile.

So about 2 p.m. riding his ATV from the center of the ponded water, Elbert skillfully directed his “instant tiling” machine across a slight knoll. Instantly the ponded water started following in the wheel tracks of his ATV. To gain just another inch or two of grade,

Sibley East student lands Milk Mustache scholarship

The student at Sibley East High in Arlington, Minn., is among 25 seniors selected from 40,000 applicants nationwide to be a recipient of a Scholar Athlete Milk Mustache Award.

The annual milk industry awards cite high school high-achievers and professed milk drinkers such as Thies, who is at the top of his class academically, is a regional Student Council president and comAndrew Thies petes in basketball, track and received AllState recognition in cross country.

Thies, whose brother won the award four years ago, said he filled out an online Milk Mustache Award application earlier this year, learned he was a finalist a couple of months ago and recently received the news that he was a winner.

While his father remains home to tend to the family’s strawberry farm, Thies and his mother will leave in lateJune on a two-day, all-expenses-paid

jaunt to Florida.

There they will attend an award ceremony at Disney World featuring past Milk Mustache ad celebrities.

He and the other award selectees will also appear in a June 25 Milk Mustache ad in USA Today, but Thies said the signature milk mustaches won’t be applied the old-fashioned way.

Touched by an angel

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

you wish to be touched by an angel, Ifdrive on Minnesota State Highway 91.

I was doing that one day, and just north of Chandler, Minn., my foot suddenly left the accelerator and found the brake. My eyes had been caught by a beautiful angel, kneeling on a pedestal, holding an infant in its hands.

That has been the experience of many Primi Manteiga travelers according to Marcia Carrera.

The statue is the work of her mother, renowned Venezuelan artist Primi Manteiga.

Carrera and her family had lived in Chandler about six years when her mother joined them in December 2008. Manteiga does not speak English, and her daughter relayed the story.

In Venezuela, Manteiga is well-known for her sculptures, paintings, stained glass windows and as a teacher of art. She has designed several series of Venezuelan postage stamps. Her last set was historical paintings.

Successful as she was, the political situation made life difficult. When the government not only wanted to use the paintings for stamps, but actually take possession of the paintings, Manteiga decided to leave.

Born in Spain, she moved to Venezuela when she was 17. Leaving Venezuela, she packed up all of her paintings and statuary in large crates, shipped them to the United States, and moved to Minnesota to join her daughter’s family. (Her husband remains in Venezuela looking after his restaurant business.)

Manteiga likes angels. They are part of her current project, making a tabernacle for a Catholic church in Worthington. She intended “Los Arcangeles” to be a small statue in front of the Chandler house, but it grew to larger than life-size. When the family moved to an acreage outside of town for more space, it was placed near the highway so travelers could see it.

Manteiga continues her artistic endeavors in a studio at her new home. A book she illustrated on the 47 Indian tribes that live in Venezuela has been published, and hopefully will be translated into English. But “Los Arcangeles” needs no translation.

It speaks directly to the heart.

The statue is along State Highway 91, about two-and-a-half miles south of the junction with State Highway 30, a little north of Chandler.

This column was written for the marketing week ending June 3.

The nation’s benchmark milk price took another temporary dip. The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced the May Class III price at $16.52 per hundredweight, down 35 MIELKE MARKET cents from April, but $3.14 WEEKLY above May 2010, and equates to about $1.42 per gallon. That

By Lee Mielke puts the year’s average at $16.65, up from $13.57 at this time a year ago, and compares to just $10.23 in 2009 and $17.86 in 2008.

Class III futures portend a rather large recovery next month. The June contract was trading late Friday morning at $18.98. July was at $20.02; August, $19.35; September, $19; October, $18.39; November, $17.99; and December, $17.61. Those prices would result in a 2011 average of $17.88, up from $14.41 in 2010 and $11.36 in 2009.

The May Class IV price is $20.29, up 51 cents from April, $5 above a year ago, and the highest since November 2007. Its 2011 average now stands at $18.86, up from $13.74 a year ago.

The four-week, National Agricultural Statistics Service-surveyed cheese price averaged $1.6534 per pound, down 4.5 cents from April. Butter averaged $2.0292, up 3.2 cents. Nonfat dry milk averaged $1.6120, up 4.4 cents, and dry whey averaged 49.29 cents, up 1.2 cents from April.

California’s May 4a butter-powder price is $19.94, up 49 cents from April and $5.99 above a year ago.

The 4b cheese milk price is $14.74, up 40 cents from April, $2.34 above a year ago. It’s also $1.78 below the federal order Class III price though the gap narrowed. The 4b was 99 cents below the Class III in January and 8 cents below in February however the gap jumped to $2.64 in March and $2.53 in April.

The gap is mostly attributed to the fact that the California Department of Food and Agriculture does not include a value on whey in its milk price calculations. That’s one of the issues to be raised in a hearing scheduled for June 30-July 1 in Sacramento although a 15-day delay has been sought by some producer and processor groups to better prepare. Others oppose the delay.

Another factor in the past is that the CDFA uses Chicago Mercantile Exchange dairy product prices in its calculations and the USDA uses the NASS surveyed product prices which have a one- to two-week lag behind the CME prices.

CME cash cheese prices continued to climb in the Memorial Day holiday-shortened week. The block price closed the first Friday of Dairy Month at $2.05/lb., up a dime on the day, 24 cents on the week and 65.25 cents above that week a year ago. The blocks gained 42.75 cents in three weeks.

Barrel closed at $1.96, up 14.25 cents on the week, and 60.25 cents above a year ago. Only one car of block and none of barrel traded hands on the week.

The NASS U.S. average block price hit $1.6570. The

MARKETING

barrels averaged $1.6863. Both are up 1.8 cents.

■ News in the cheese market is positive with commercial disappearance up from a year ago and exports strong, however there are a few clouds.

Cheese production is expected to increase as more milk goes to the vat due to school closings, plant upgrades, expansions and new plants. Furthermore, the USDA’s Dairy Market News reports that some of their contacts believe the higher prices will impact exports. Cheese stocks are also high.

The Cooperatives Working Together program will assist in the export of 5.7 million pounds of Cheddar, Gouda and Monterey Jack to customers of Darigold and Dairy Farmers of America in Asia, South America and the Middle East. CWT cheese exports this year now total 39.1 million pounds to 20 countries.

Cash butter reversed gears this week and closed Friday at $2.1425, down 3.75 cents on the week, but still 56.75 cents above a year ago. Nineteen cars

Mielke: High butter prices could impact U.S. exports MIELKE, from pg. 1B traded hands on the week. NASS butter averaged $2.0466, up 5.2 cents.

The butter market also saw great commercial disappearance as exports claimed two-thirds of the increase from a year ago, and stocks are well below a year ago. Seasonal demand could be strong from ice cream manufacturers. High prices, as with cheese,

could impact exports, however.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk inched a quarter-cent higher, to $1.6425 on a sale, and Extra Grade held all week at $1.61. NASS powder averaged $1.6262, up 0.9 cent, and dry whey averaged 50.35 cents, down 0.1 cent.

Looking “back to the futures,” the Class III contract’s average for the last half of 2011 was $17.64/cwt. on May 6,

April cheese production hit 882 million pounds, according to the USDA’s latest Dairy Products data, down 3.2 percent from March, but 2.1 percent above April 2010. Italian-type cheese output, at 385 million pounds, was down 3.7 percent from March, but 5 percent above a year ago. Americantype cheese totaled 357 million, down 2.6 percent from March, and 1 percent below a year ago.

Butter churns turned out 159 million pounds, down 3.7 percent from March,

but a whopping 19.4 percent above a year ago. Nonfat dry milk production hit 146 million pounds, up 16.2 percent from March, but 4.4 percent below a year ago.

■ Checking the international scene, the Oceania milk production season is coming to a close, according to Dairy Market News, but the 2010-11 year is finishing strong. Production recovered nicely in New Zealand following a drought on the North Island at mid-season and actually extended the season.

See MIELKE, pg. 3B

IDFA economist: NMPF program would hurt exports a record $11.15, according to the DDR, up 44 cents from April, “and with an all-milk price of $19.40, that left income over feed costs of $8.25, about 10 percent below the 10-year average.”

■ In dairy politics, the National Milk Producers Federation’s “Foundation for the Future” proposal to manage price volatility by controlling milk supply drew comment in DairyLine from the International Dairy Foods Association chief economist Bob Yonkers.

Yonkers said that the IDFA has reviewed analyses of the proposal, including one by the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute.

He said that U.S. dairy exports have more than doubled in the past decade due to a rapidly increasing demand for dairy products around the globe. As a result, domestic prices have been closely aligned with world market prices since 2004. Before then, U.S. dairy exports were relatively small, he said, and even those exports were often only due to government export subsidies.

The IDFA and the NMPF “seem to agree that we need to take advantage of this huge opportunity for dairy export growth,” Yonkers said, and “National Milk even states that one of its guiding principles is that they will not promote policies that will discourage exports.” Yet Yonkers charged that the NMPF’s Dairy Market Stabilization Program would decrease exports.

MARKETING

A study by FAPRI “directly predicts that U.S. dairy exports would have dropped significantly if the dairy market stabilization program had triggered limits to farm milk production during the dates reviewed,” Yonkers said. “The study found that during March, April and May 2009, U.S. exports of nonfat dry milk would have fallen by 38 percent, butter exports by 16.4 percent, and American cheese exports by 8 percent.”

Yonkers added that the FAPRI study “likely underestimates the negative impact on exports” and “a study

by Informa Economics of the FAPRI impacts on dairy prices indicates that overall U.S. dairy exports would have dropped by 14 percent if the Dairy Market Stabilization Program had been in place in 2009.”

■ Finally our Wit for the Week: “The writing is on the wall and most Americans can read.” At least I hope they can, and then do something about it.

MIELKE, from pg. 2B Milk producers and handlers project output will run about 3 percent, and possibly 4 percent, above the previous season. Supplies of Oceania dairy commodities, however, are mostly committed until the start of the new production season in August, according to the CME’s Daily Dairy Report.

European milk production has started to drop. Milk production trends have been positive for the first quarter of the year but in the past month or so, output in some areas has been sharply lower. Milk producers and handlers are concerned about milk output for the future, according to the DMN, and many warn that, if moisture does not arrive soon, milk production will drop.

Here at home, output in the northern tier of states is approaching peak levels while steady to trending lower across the southern tier. Weather has been more mild than normal and not causing any major problems for cows.

■ Dairy farm profitability was down again, based on the latest Ag Prices report. The May feed price ratio, at 1.74, was the lowest in 22 months, according to Dairy Profit Weekly’s Dave Natzke, who adds that 3.0 is considered profitable. The all-milk price, at $19.40/cwt., was down 20 cents from April, but $4.40 above a year ago.

Alfalfa hay costs were up $31 from April, averaging a record $186 per ton, $65 more than May 2010. Corn was down 20 cents from April, at $6.15 per bushel, but $2.67 above a year ago, and soybeans were down a dime, to $13/bu., $3.59 above a year ago.

The cost of feed to generate 100 pounds of milk hit
