program is “designed to address the margin between milk prices and feed costs,” the massive disparity that knocked milk producers to their aching knees in 2008 and 2009.

The NMPF boss may not know just how accurate that vision is: a livestock enterprise first built on, then expanded by, cheap feed — especially corn — is a business model that will be less viable every passing year and doomed to increasing chaos in the next decade.

Moreover, already compounding that high-cost future is even more expensive forage, $4 diesel and a certain-to-occur water crisis in America’s largest dairy state, California.

As such, re-jiggering an already complicated milk pricing system with an income insurance plan, an illdefined supply management scheme that’s doomed to leak, and transferring market power from producers to manufacturers (can anyone say “meatpackers”?) is like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic — it will keep you busy for a while but it won’t alter dairy’s long-term future one degree.

That future will surely see cows move away from today’s capital-intensive, feed-intensive milk factories to nearly as productive and far cheaper foragebased dairy farms. They will be diverse, local, more sustainable and profitable because they won’t run on $7 corn and $400 alfalfa.

As such, any overhaul of dairy policy should include a clear vision of what will work for farmers 10 years from now and not just what works for dairy giants today.

Commentary: Ag sector can revitalize state economy healthy economy for the 21st century. Here at the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, we look forward to working with our farm and food sector to make it happen.

OPINION

••• This commentary was submitted by Minnesota Department of Agriculture Commissioner Dave Frederickson.

THE LAND, AUGUST 5, 2011 “Where Farm and Family Meet”

Minnesota’s agricultural export figures for 2010 show an impressive 22 percent increase over 2009 sales. This is significantly higher than the national increase of 13 percent. It also compares favorably to other economic sectors. For example, Minnesota’s largest economic segment — manufacturing Dave Frederickson — posted a 17 percent increase.

Aside from taking the opportunity to brag on behalf of Minnesota agriculture, I mention these export numbers to highlight the great opportunity that China and other developing markets present for our farm and food sector. The most exciting news is that this agricultural export growth is pumping new life into our state economy.

Each dollar of agricultural exports generates an additional $1.36 in economic and business activities. Every $1 billion of agricultural exports supports 8,000 jobs throughout the state economy — in both rural communities and urban centers. That means Minnesota’s 2010 agricultural exports supported more than 40,000 jobs.

Gov. Mark Dayton recently said the ultimate solution to the state’s budget woes will be vigorous economic growth. I agree completely, and I am excited about the role Minnesota agriculture can play in boosting our economy as we build on our successes with international trade.

As the world’s breadbasket, Minnesota and the other Midwestern states have a great opportunity.

Far from being a relic of the past, agriculture has a chance to enter another era of sustained prosperity.

As a major driver of the rural economy, a resurgent agricultural sector can bring new life and economic vitality to rural parts of the state.

Of course, the policy choices we make about agriculture, land use, conservation and rural development will make a big difference not only in how much rural communities benefit from this opportunity, but in how effectively we meet the world’s real and pressing food security needs.

To fully capitalize on the opportunities ahead, we need policies that encourage a diverse and healthy farm sector, one with room for conventional and organic, large and small, crop and livestock, international and local.

We also need to build and maintain a strong rural transportation and commerce infrastructure — from roads to rail to high-speed internet — to allow our farm sector to efficiently and inexpensively market its goods.

Last but not least, we need to ensure a high quality of life in rural communities to attract larger numbers of the nation’s highly talented young people into farming and the many other supporting businesses and professions.

I believe the road to economic resurgence goes through rural Minnesota. Just as agriculture helped build this state in the 19th and 20th centuries, we now have the opportunity to help rebuild a new and

Human-animal bond growing in modern society Humans and animals have interacted together for thousands of years.

From the very first people who decided to domesticate the dog, to the present day “pioneers” that choose to keep goats and pigs in their houses, animals have played huge roles in the lives of many people.

While early civilization saw them as mainly a food and fiber source or a hunting tool, modern society views them as companions, family and best friends. The human-pet bond concept emerged in veterinary medicine as recently as the last few decades, and it

has caused the companion animal industry to explode.

According to M. A. Crist, clinical assistant professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, the inclusion of pets in many non-traditional activities, such as family ceremonies, photos, trips and gatherings, drives part of the pet industry today.

“Many of today’s pets are now considered part of the family and are treated as family members,” Crist said. “For example, some clients have pet chickens that live in their houses. The chickens wear

Hyperthermia: Heat-related illness advice for older people • Encourage the individual to shower, bathe or sponge off with cool water.

Information adapted from an article in The National Institute of Aging NIA NEWS July 22, 2010.

• Apply a cold, wet cloth to the wrists, neck, armpits, and/or groin, places where blood passes close to the surface of the skin, and the cold cloths can help cool the blood.

•••

• Offer fluids such as water, fruit and vegetable juices, but avoid alcohol and caffeine.

• High blood pressure or other conditions that require changes in diet. For example, people on salt-restricted diets may increase their risk. However, salt pills should not be used without first consulting a doctor.

• Reduced perspiration caused by medications such as diuretics, sedatives, tranquilizers and certain heart and blood pressure drugs.

• Taking several drugs for various conditions. It is important, however, to continue to take prescribed medication and discuss possible problems with a physician.

• Being substantially overweight or underweight.

• Drinking alcoholic beverages.

Heat stroke is a life-threatening form of hyperthermia. It occurs when the body is overwhelmed by heat and unable to control its temperature.

Someone with a body temperature above 104 degrees Fahrenheit is likely suffering from heat stroke and may have symptoms of confusion, combativeness, strong rapid pulse, lack of sweating, dry flushed skin, faintness, staggering, possible delirium or coma.

Seek immediate emergency medical attention for a person, especially an older adult, with any of these symptoms.

If you suspect that someone is suffering from a heat-related illness: • Get the person out of the sun and into a shady, air-conditioned or other cool place. Urge them to lie down.

• If you suspect heat stroke, call 911.

THE LAND, AUGUST 5, 2011

Hot summer weather can pose special health risks to older adults. Following is advice for helping older people avoid heat-related illnesses, known as hyperthermia.

Hyperthermia is an abnormally high body temperature caused by a failure of the heat-regulating mechanisms of the body to deal with the heat coming from the environment.

Heat fatigue, heat syncope (sudden dizziness after prolonged exposure to the heat), heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke are commonly known forms of hyperthermia. Risk for these conditions can increase with the combination of outside temperature, general health and individual lifestyle.

Lifestyle factors can include not drinking enough fluids, living in housing without air conditioning, lack of mobility and access to transportation, overdressing, visiting overcrowded places and not understanding how to respond to hot weather conditions.

Older people, particularly those with chronic medical conditions, should stay indoors on hot and humid days. People without air conditioners should go to places such as senior centers, shopping malls, movie theaters or libraries.

Health-related factors that may increase risk include: • Being dehydrated.

• Age-related changes to the skin such as poor blood circulation and inefficient sweat glands.

• Heart, lung and kidney diseases, as well as any illness that causes general weakness or fever.

Small nutrition ideas for big stress reduction Stress depletes the body of energy in a variety of ways.

Loss of sleep, feelings of agitation or depression and development of poor eating habits are “side effects” of stress that need intervention. Some stress can help us rise to the occasion and get things done, but too much stress drains the body. One way to break the stress cycle is by changing the diet to one that can actually help reduce stress.

The body under stress will experience a reduction in vital nutrients, such as B vitamins, which are nervous system helpers.

Depending on magnesium to help with muscles and calcium for bones, the overstressed system may benefit from vitamin and mineral supplements. Before starting a vitamin regimen, consult with your primary doctor about any special needs you may have. The doctor may be able to refer you to a nutritionist who can target specific requirements and make useful dietary changes.

When stressed, all individuals may go for “comfort food,” which can include coffee, even if it’s decaffeinated. Coffee, cola and chocolate are three major suspects when it comes to providing comfort while introducing caffeine, which will sap one’s ability to relax. Caffeine also dilates the kidneys, increasing the need to empty the bladder. While there’s noth-

ing wrong with active, healthy kidneys, it becomes inconvenient in the middle of the night. Frequent urination also requires that we put the water back into our system, and a continuous cycle of tasty beverages with caffeine’s stimulating element can dehydrate our systems.

Dehydration is a common nutritional problem. We don’t wash our clothes in soda or tea, but we frequently “wash our insides” with these substances. Many people complain that “water is boring,” and they have a point. Some folks recommend adding a splash of cranberry juice, lemon or lime to adjust the flavor. There are vitamin supplements that can be added to water to provide a break, also. The added hydration can be a tremendous stress reducer, especially when incorporating exercise into a stress management program.

Small changes that focus on key areas such as fat, fiber and sugars lead to big improvements in overall health. Many of us opt for drive-through or delivery to solve the stress of cooking a meal. Some fast food companies are offering healthier choices, but the old, less healthy favorites may be hard to get away from.

If you find that you are having a problem acclimating yourself or your loved one to the “healthy” options, add on components such as salad or vegeta-

bles to round out the meal and incorporate fiber.

Fiber helps the body move food through the digestive system, enhances the “full” feeling and improves digestion by helping eliminate waste from the system. Constipation can increase stress in the body both physically and emotionally. A balanced system eliminates waste at the proper intervals, allowing the individual to feel comfortable physically, leading to emotional comfort as well as physical.

When it comes to vitamins, the first priority is to “eat” your vitamins through “whole” foods that retain their nutrients. Whole foods do not have to be served raw, but there should be no processing that adds preservatives. Creating “whole-food meals” can be done gradually by adding salads, or by blanching or steaming cut vegetables. Since time and energy are usually a factor, consider paying extra for pre-cut vegetables. When cooking “whole” foods for you and your loved one, you may need to add time on to the quick cooking for softer vegetables.

Even frozen foods, properly cooked and with a minimum of additives, can provide better nutritional alternatives than one might imagine. Opt for minimal processing. This includes the amount of sodium in canned, frozen or even in deli-prepared foods.

Salad bars or food bars in grocery chains may appear healthy, but combine questionable ingredients. For example, the “healthy” tuna salad may contain far more mayonnaise than some people might use. The same is true for salad dressings prepared at salad bars and added on to the greens. Most retailers and restaurants will disclose nutrition values, but you can get an idea by just looking at some offerings.

One way around the confusion in salad bars is to mix “plain,” unadorned vegetables, nuts and pastas with a smaller portion of your favorite sauce-laden dish.

Overeating can be a reaction to stress, but it is also something that creates stress on many levels. Experimenting with smaller portions and more frequent meals can reduce the demand on the body to process a big meal at once. This technique also cuts down on berating oneself for eating too much.

THE YIELD It’s not quite fall, but signs get me excited about the next

By Sue Peterson seasonal change. I lived next to the Blue Earth River for much of my life. It’s important to me to see the native plants like the mighty cottonwoods which flourish in this area.

Several generations of cottonwoods line the banks of the Blue Earth River here in the city of Blue Earth, Minn., near where we live. Near the cottonwoods the current of the river sings to the bright blue sky and water grasses growing on the edge of the bank. My imagination runs wild.

With the many generations of trees self-planted during the years, now the banks have the prospect of new growth with the introduction of the new seeds in the soft cotton balls.

I like to work in my garden where I have wild roses planted from my first husband, Larry’s relatives who lived in Scotland. The roses have grown here since 2007, and seem to be doing well. These roses are my favorite of all the flowers planted here. The blossoms look delicate, but the plants are hardy. Unlike the vegetable garden which I planted my first year in Blue Earth, the flowers have done very well. The ivy that I planted in the back of the house seems to be threatening to take over the whole garden. It is interesting to me how some plants do so well in the same soil, while others do not.

An acquaintance from my travels while speaking told me about a Biblical garden. The Rose of Sharon is one of the flowers she mentioned. The Rose of Sharon is an herb and is hardy. It is a plant which spikes white, red, pink or purple blossoms. I would like to start a garden with flowers mentioned in the Bible. As if I don’t have enough flowers already.

The trees mentioned in Revelation 22:2 are fascinating also: On each side of the river grew trees of life, bearing 12 crops of fruit, with a fresh crop each month; the leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations. TLB. If anyone has information about plants mentioned in the Bible, such as flowers for a garden, please contact me. Thank you.

The law now spells out clearly that anyone unlucky enough to bag a deer with their car has first claim on the animal.

Previously, officials had some discretion as to whether the motorist could take the animal, a discretion sometimes exercised, notably for trophy-status bucks. Big antlers can be worth big bucks.

The timber (gray) wolf has been reclassified as a small game animal.

Don’t plan on hunting them just yet, however; the federal government has yet to delist them.

The sandhill crane officially joins the ranks of Minnesota game birds.

And there are myriad other changes relating to fish stocking, the purchase of fish fry, the transportation of bait, etc., that relate to Minnesota’s great outdoors.

Lawmakers also tinkered with a statute passed during a previous legislative session that mandated that state agencies identify and sell at least $6.440 million of state-owned land by June 30, 2011, with the money going into the general fund.

They changed the deadline to June 30, 2013, kicking it two years down the fiscal road.

Sounds familiar.

Think you’ve got what it takes to become a hobo?

The local energy company is asking for an increase, too. Property taxes are going up, the cost of food is rising, clothing is up and getaway prices are in the stratosphere because — you guessed it — the price of gas is up.

So what’s down? Your paycheck and your mood.

Did you ever wish you could chuck it all, tie your belongings in a handkerchief on a pole, and head for the road?

By Terri Schlichenmeyer 218 pages

Maybe that’s not so far-fetched after all.

Read “The Hobo Handbook” by Josh Mack, and see what you think.

A hobo, by definition, was someone who traveled and worked. A tramp was someone who traveled but didn’t work. A bum did

So is it possible to be a modern-day hobo?

Mack paints a picture of freedom mixed with cold and boredom, the dangers of hopping a freight train, and all the reasons you shouldn’t. Still: could you do it? Could you leave comfort and current life behind?

I liked this book for that tantalizing, ticklish thought Mack dangles before his readers.

If you’re eager to find out what James Michener, Boris Yeltsin, Jack Dempsey and Merle Haggard have in common, then this book is perfect. For you, “The Hobo Handbook” should move up on your list.

■ Look for the reviewed book at a bookstore or a library near you. You may also find the book at online book retailers.

The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Terri has Mack says it is, but you need to do your research first. Sleep outside been reading since she was 3 years old and never beneath a tree on a cold, rainy night goes anywhere without a book. She lives in Wisconfor a taste of road life. Familiarize sin with three dogs and 10,000 books. yourself with transportation; not all hobos ride the rails. And if you do decide to hop a train, it’s essential that you know what you’re doing: “greasing the tracks” and becoming a statistic is exceedingly, dangerously easy.

Oh, and that handkerchief tied on a stick?

Forget it. Did you really think it would hold everything you need?

<< MILKER’S MESSAGE >>

Though the stereotypical Depression-era freeloader probably comes to mind when you hear the word, legend says that the first hobos were Civil War soldiers who, looking for an easy way home, hopped aboard a train. Others followed suit in search of jobs, finding them on the railroad and afield. Because of their willingness to take work that nobody else wanted, in fact, Mack says that hobos — or “hoe boys” — played “a major role in the development of the West.”

Yet, though they had jobs and income, hobos were often considered vagrants and were persecuted in many towns. To avoid that, they formed their own union, created their own slanguage and devised a system of signals for communication. Even now, hobos hold annual conventions in Iowa to crown a yearly king and queen.

It’s tempting to think of “The Hobo Handbook” as humor. Mack includes in the front of his book a tongue-in-cheek quiz to assess your readiness and ability to embrace the hobo life. Take the quiz, get your laughs, then prepare to learn because the rest of his book is as serious as a railroad bull.

New arena coming to Minnesota State Fairgrounds

By KEVIN SCHULZ The Land Editor Out with the old, in with the new.

The Judging Arena, at the end of Judson Avenue on the Minnesota State Fairgrounds, will be removed after this year’s fair to make room for the AgStar Arena.

The existing Judging Arena was built in the 1960s and its wooden structure has endured years of storm damage and, according to Kay Cady, Minnesota State Fair Foundation executive director, it is in need of replacement.

A groundbreaking ceremony will take place during this year’s fair, but the existing arena will not be removed until after this year’s fair.

“Construction will begin in October, with the new arena to be ‘substantially’ ready in April,” Cady said. “We say ‘substantially’ ready because we want it to be used for next year’s Minnesota Horse Expo” that takes place April 27-29. In addition to simply replacing the existing arena, Cady said the project takes a look “at how we access this area, both for people and for the animals. We’re looking at how things move in that area of the fairgrounds.”

The new arena, as with the old, will be used for 4H and FFA livestock and horse shows during the Minnesota State Fair, as well as other livestock and horse exhibitions throughout the year.

Cady said AgStar Arena, at 27,000 square feet, will have roughly the same foot print as the existing Judging Arena, and will have a 15,000 square foot oval show ring. There will be multiple entrances for

said in a State Fair Foundation press release.

Cady said the mission of the State Fair and the Foundation is to keep the agriculture message front and center. “In a lot of schools, there is no ag curriculum, and for a lot of people, the State Fair is the only chance they get to learn about agriculture. The mission of the Foundation is that we have a key duty to tell the ag story,” she said.

near-complete artistic interpretations of the Great Minnesota Get-Together.

From that group, Thomas was selected as the official artist by a panel of judges including members of the visual arts community and State Fair staff.

Thomas is a self-taught illustrator who has been creating art since he could pick up a crayon. A graphic artist and web producer, he has worked in the newspaper industry for 13 years and is a twotime recipient of the Society for News Design’s Best in Newspaper Design Award. He also runs his own small business, Steve Thomas Art & Illustration.

His style ranges from graphic to painterly, as he works in both digital and traditional mediums, sometimes combining the two. Much of Thomas’ artistic inspiration comes from pulp and poster art from the early to mid-20th century.

He has a degree in visual communication from Ohio University. For more about Steve Thomas’ work, log on to www.stevethomasart.com.

The Minnesota State Fair’s 2011 Official Commemorative Art was unveiled on June 8 by artist Steve Thomas of Lino Lakes, Minn.

Thomas presented his original acrylic piece to the public for the first time surrounded by the media, State Fair fans and art enthusiasts at the J.V. Bailey House on the State Fairgrounds. The original piece will be on display in the Fine Arts Center during the fair’s 12-day run.

Thomas’ piece, created exclusively for the State Fair, boldly showcases some of the Great Minnesota Get-Together’s most prominent and identifiable attractions. “The art captures iconic elements of the fair and is based largely on photos I took,” Thomas said. “I guess you could say it’s a snapshot of my fair experience.”

Just prior to the 2010 State Fair, officials announced a first-ever Commemorative Art Call for Submissions. Any Minnesota artist could apply. From the nearly 80 applicants, five finalists including Thomas were chosen to create

Cover story: Olympics — Having fun and helping a cause

By RENAE B. VANDER SCHAAF The Land Correspondent SPIRIT LAKE, Iowa — Fair organizers are always endeavoring to develop a new event that will draw the crowds to their fairs. Five years ago the Milford Pioneers 4-H Club put together an idea that has become a fair favorite.

“Our club felt that there needed to be something happening on one of the evenings of the fair when things usually got over with rather early,” said Karen Schwaller. Schwaller and her husband, Dave, are the leaders of the Milford Pioneer Club. “We thought that if we could come up with something to bring people to or keep them at the fair longer, it would be helpful for the fair overall.”

That event which the club named Farm Chore Olympics has been tremendously successful judging by the crowd that gathered on July 25 at the Dickinson county Fair. Schwaller said that they try to come up with new challenges each year.

“Everyone brings something to contribute to the various events,” Schwaller said. “It doesn’t cost our club a cent to do it. And we have so much fun doing it.”

All the events are timed. Two teams are competing against each other at a time. This year there were 14 teams.

Teams consist of 4-H club members, FFA students, college-aged youth and adults — anyone who wants to participate can.

The criteria for the Farm Chore Olympics is short: five members per team, of which at least two had to be female and two had to be male. The total combined age of team members could not surpass 71.

Milking “Nanny the Goat” proved to be a challenge during the Farm Chore Challenge at the recent Dickinson County Fair in Spirit Lake, Iowa.

Teams chose their own names that were quite descriptive and rural sounding — Tator Tots, The Five Bunnies, Farm Chore Olympians, The Milk Shakes. Boji Best consisted of town youth, and the Rusty Ranchers and Farmers’ Ole School were the names two of the adult teams gave themselves.

County fairs attendees are made up of family, friends and neighbors. Thus when one team’s members were announced they were all a bit surprised. It seems as though Schwaller and her cohorts in organizing this

Round-bale roll completes the Olympic challenge As the Farm Chore Olympics were entertaining contestants and spectators, a hat was being passed around to raise money for a charity. Schwaller said, “we have people gathered together, and in the spirit of 4-H learning and ‘making the best better,’ we choose a charity to help out and take up a collection for them.”

On July 25, $153 was raised to help out Voluntary

Action Center. The VAC is a local, non-profit organization that organizes volunteers to help with various important things in Dickinson County. Their volunteer work is said to have an annual savings to the county of around $96,000, Schwaller said.

Just as farmers have always been doing, when there is a need, they work together, to help and have fun doing it.

Crary Industries has partnered with Michel’s Industries Ltd. to supply Electric Hopper Covers to the United States. Investing in a hopper cover will protect harvested crop from unexpected weather conditions, provide extra storage and increase the value of your combine. Hopper covers fit most makes and models of combines.

Other features and benefits include: • Quick, easy set-up and take down — tarp compo-

nents can easily be removed down to extension height in less than 10 minutes, no tools required.

• Trouble-free storage — after harvest is complete, tarp components can be stored inside the grain tank.

The biggest challenge of the night was milking the goat. A sawhorse with a goat’s head, tail and a white glove full of milk made up the nanny goat. There was a penalty if the bag broke while you were milking it.

Hastily passing on the hat, it was bale-toss time.

The fence seemed pretty high for the younger team members to toss three bales over, and then toss the same three bales back again, restacking them neatly.

Working as a team, the five members would roll the round bale down a path and over a railroad tie.

The clock would stop.

The winning team was the Collegiate Team, but since they had a penalty, first place went to Chicken Wings. Prizes for the top three teams were donated

‘Just another farmer’ Farm Mom of the Year nominee heads family’s century farm

By KRISTIN KVENO The Land Correspondent The Hemmes farm near Hampton, Iowa, has been in the family for over a century, and during that time generation after generation have tilled the land, raised livestock and worked hard to preserve their way of life.

April Hemmes is the latest in the family to live that life. Some might be surprised to know that she, not her husband, Tom Kazmerzak, is the farmer; that he works in town full time while April is the full-time farmer and rancher.

Hemmes always enjoyed the farming lifestyle; growing up with two sisters and a brother, she was “always outside with dad.”

After graduating from Iowa State University with a degree in animal science, she decided to see what was out there in the world. Hemmes did research in the ISU agronomy department, worked at the Iowa Swine Testing Station and as a legislative aide for an Iowa congressman.

She soon learned, however, that she

“didn’t want to wear a dress that much,” so in 1985 she made the decision to head back to Hampton and the farm.

When her children Ethan, now 20, and Ruth, now 16, were younger they went to daycare while mom was in the field for safety’s sake.

Occasionally, however, her daughter would accompany her to the coop.

While waiting for their turn, Ruth enjoyed lining up her Barbies on the dash of the semi-truck. Hemmes chuckled, remembering the co-op workers’ reaction to that uncommon sight.

She is quick to point out that while her husband works in town (he had also grown up on a farm but found that he had “no interest in the farm”) he does provide seasonal help in the spring and fall. She keeps one hired helper for the summer months, too.

Hemmes farms 1,000 acres, growing corn, soybeans and hay, and runs a 35head cow-calf herd.

For Hemmes, the biggest struggles in

I always think of myself as just another farmer.

April Hemmes farming are “keeping on top of the market” and, of course, the never-ending quest to “keep cost down.” She expresses amazement at the advancement of agricultural technology over the years.

What is the greatest joy in being a farmer? “Getting to do what I want to do every day” and “watching the crops and calves grow.”

When she was starting her farming career 25 years ago, some of her fellow farmers didn’t feel that she should serve on the local pork board. One in particular believed that “women are not on the pork board.” That gentleman soon retired from his board position and Hemmes took his place.

“Within in a couple of years I was on the state (pork) board.”

When she’s not on the farm, Hemmes also volunteers for numerous organizations, including the Franklin General Hospital Board, 4-H, Iowa Women in Agriculture, Iowa Soybean District

She is heading to Uganda on Aug. 19, through ISU Extension’s Farmer-toFarmer Program, to work with female farmers there to teach them various farming techniques. This will surely be an eye-opening opportunity for Hemmes, who in planning for the trip has learned that the “biggest implement is the hoe.”

Her involvement and leadership opportunities lead to her nomination for Monsanto’s “Farm Mom of the Year” award. Nominated by her daughter, Hemmes was “absolutely amazed” to find out that she was named a regional winner. Driving her pickup when she heard the news, she was so shocked that she had to pull over, “otherwise I would have gone in the ditch.”

The Midwest regional award came with a check for $5,000 which was presented to her at the Franklin County Fair. Hemmes said the money will go into her daughter’s college fund.

What is Hemmes’ advice to other women who would like to farm? “Get good at something that the farm couldn’t do without.” She also suggests that women can get “another job close by and help out (at the farm).”

Hemmes may not be entirely ordinary, but she truly sees herself as just that. “I always think of myself as just another farmer.”

move. It will cost about $75,000 to move the 35-feet-by-80-feet building, and Riebel is still looking for donations to cover the rest.

For Riebel, a retired dairy farmer, acquiring the church was the best way he could think of to show attendees how important faith was to settlers in rural Minnesota.

“It’s part of our heritage,” Riebel said, “and it fits in with our history. ...

These churches are disappearing.

Someone has to take the responsibility

<< MILKER’S MESSAGE >>

By ROBB MURRAY Mankato Free Press When even the earliest settlers crossed the Atlantic and set up villages, one of the first things they did was figure out where to worship.

And that was more than enough reason for Loren Riebel, several months back, to do what he did.

He heard there was a vacant church in Lexington, Minn., — St. Joseph’s Catholic Church — a victim of declining church memberships that have plagued parishes nationwide. He’s also been a member of the Pioneer Power Show for years, and one of the few things the annual agriculture extravaganza lacks is a church.

So $67,000 in fundraising later, Riebel and the donors who fell in with his cause are about to bring a little more authenticity to a show that, as its name suggests, honors the earliest Minnesotans and their agrarian way of life.

St. Joseph’s Catholic Church is to be picked up, put on wheels and rolled down a Le Sueur County Road 26, roughly five miles, to its new home at the Pioneer Power Show grounds.

Riebel got the Archdiocese of St. Paul to sell him the building for $1 with the agreement the church remain intact.

The costs, however, will come from the

Markets monkeyed by debt ceiling

Let the buyer beware

Dog days are upon us

The following market analysis is for the week ending July 29.

CORN — Two topics captured traders’ attention this week, weather and the uncertainty surrounding the U.S. debt ceiling. Showers fell over the Corn Belt as the week began and forecasts were less threatening to crop development. By the end of the week, the majority of the Corn Belt had received some measurable rainfall.

Dubuque, Iowa, received 10 inches of rain, with lesser amounts throughout the belt. How the high heat indexes affected pollination before the rain came is an unknown and could limit signifi- PHYLLIS NYSTROM cant price declines. Tropical Storm Country Hedging St. Paul Don is moving into the Texas gulf as I write. It is not expected to cause damage, but should push rain into the drought areas of Texas. As the week came to a close, the weather risk premium that had been building throughout the week was erased in one trading session. For the week, September corn was down 24 1/2 cents at $6.65 1/2 and December corn was 16 3/4 cents lower at $6.68 3/4.

Crop ratings as of July 24 fell as expected, losing 4 percent from the good-excellent category to 62 percent and versus 66 percent good-excellent on average. Corn was 65 percent silked, 4 percent under the average. Nine percent of the corn was in the dough stage as compared to 12 percent on average. Corn basis levels were steady to slightly easier this week and the September-to-December spread traded out to a nickel carry. Japan turned up as a decent buyer of new crop corn, adding at least 305,000 metric tons this week.

As we end July and move into August, the livestock markets are continuing to keep a positive price direction, for the most part. Both cattle and hogs are either moving into record highs or near their respective price highs.

Hogs have been the real winner in price improvement since the end of May, as exports and weather have accelerated the advance into new high ground above $100 per hundredweight live basis the Midwest. The weather, which has been extremely warm, has forced the marketing of live animals to slow as producers held back animals to protect them from the heat and death loss.

JOE TEALE This forced packers to increase Broker their bids to acquire live inventory Great Plains Commodity to keep pace with the demand as Afton long as the profit margins held.

Then throw in the announcement that the Chinese were interested in buying U.S. pork and the markets responded with a positive advance in prices. Because of the weather and the interest by the Chinese in U.S. pork, the likelihood of further advances in prices are certainly possible.

However as the price continues to advance and the pork cutouts reach levels that begin to reflect extremely higher prices in the domestic market, the demand for pork is likely to subside. Given the economic situation, it would seem near impossible to sustain a long-term price advance as demand begins to shrink because of the higher prices.

Therefore, producers should keep aware of the momentum in the hog market and be cognizant of protecting inventories at substantially higher prices.

The cattle market has not seen quite the optimism

The dog days of August are upon us and the soybean crop takes center stage in the grain markets. It is said that the corn crop is made in July and the soybean crop is made in August. The later planting this year may push this drama back a bit, but the soybean weather forecasts will steal the first look.

The rains that falls on soybean crops during the critical reproduction stages of flowering and pod setting are key to crop yield.

Worldwide, the soybean stocks are less stressed than corn, due to a record crop coming out of South America. With this said, the soybean drama may be less intense than the corn was this year.

TOM NEHER My wife is an elementary school AgStar VP Agribusiness & Grain Specialist teacher and teaches first grade.

Rochester Once the calendar rolls around to August, I can see the subtle signs in her outlook; that the summer is almost over and school is about to begin. She starts counting down the weeks and determines how many projects on her “to do list” around the house will need to wait until next year.

I see the excitement in her anticipation for a new class of students and the opportunity to make a difference in their young lives. All of this is mixed with a hint of anticipated weariness, as she knows how much hard work and dedication it takes to bring the gift of learning to young minds. Eventually, I see her starting to count the days until the school year begins.

What I see during August in my wife’s anticipation about the school year is similar to what the grain markets experience. The crop is not finished, yet it is starting to show signs of winding down. The corn plants lose some of their luster after pollination is

Stage set for soybeans to swing big with weather

Heat moves cattle off dry pastures TEALE, frompg. 26A that the hog market has seen in the past month. The U.S. Department of Agriculture released a Monthly Cattle on Feed report as well as a Semiannual Cattle Inventory report on July 22. The on-feed number was stated as 104 percent as compared to the year earlier and the placement number was also 104 percent with the marketed number at 105 percent. This report was seen as negative with the exception of the marketed number.

It appears that the hot weather has moved many cattle off of grass and into the feedlots as pastures dry up. As far as the inventory report, this reflects a cattle herd that is shrinking and would suggest that supplies will be on the decrease in the months ahead. The problem will be to get through the near-term numbers

which will weigh heavy on the market prices.

The weather has not helped consumption of beef here in the United States, as heat has kept consumers away from purchasing beef especially for barbecue.

The beef cutout has subsequently come under some pressure as of late and cattle prices have slipped on a live basis. With the economy still floundering, the demand for beef and all meats will be tested as the consumers will have less disposable income as the weeks go by. It would be prudent for producers to continue to lock-in inventories until there are major changes in the current fundamentals.

A general statement regarding higher prices: Remember the old adage about the cure for high prices, is high prices. So caveat emptor; let the buyer beware.

down 31 cents for the week. Technically, the 100-day moving average support line held at $13.50 3/4.

Soybeans ratings dropped 2 percent last week to 62 percent good-excellent. This is still slightly better than the 61 percent five-year average rating for that week.

Sixty percent of the bean crop was blooming versus 68 percent on average; 16 percent was setting pods as compared to 27 percent on average. Tropical Storm Don is not expected to cause damage when it hits the Texas coast on July 29-30, but should push some welcome rain into the drought areas of Texas and Oklahoma.

The June crush number was less than projected at 124.3 million bushels versus 125 million estimated.

The crush line should be lowered on the next USDA report since we are running 7 percent behind last year, when the USDA is calling for the crush to decline 6 percent from last year. Weekly export sales were expectedly low at only 400,000 bushels for old crop and 13.4 million for new crop. China’s new purchases of 220,000 mt of U.S. beans will show up on next week’s report.

OUTLOOK: August is the critical weather period that will determine the final soybean yield, and as of now that forecast looks decent. It will be hot, but there are chances of rain in the first half of August.

Now we have to see what actually occurs since we can’t afford any yield reductions.

For now, the $13-to-$14 range is the bigger picture; shorter-term support is $13.50 to $13.37 and resistance $13.94/bu. For the month, the lead soybean contract was up 3.7 percent and is down 2.8 percent for the year.

plan to increase the debt ceiling. Brazil has been buying record amounts of U.S. ethanol as the price of sugar has skyrocketed. Brazil’s ethanol is largely made using sugar as the feedstock.

OUTLOOK: The weather and economics will dictate price direction next week. Add demand, and you have the top three market drivers until harvest.

How did the extreme heat affect yield potential? Is the yield sub-150 or 158-plus? Feed wheat is a competitor in the global market and domestic feed margins have declined. These negative factors will take a back seat to August weather and government debt action.

On the plus side, ethanol margins are decent. A short-term range for December corn could include $6.25 to $6.50 on the downside and $7 to $7.25 on the upside. The lead corn contract was up 5.8 percent for the month and is up 5.8 percent for the year.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans took a big hit to start the week and another one to end the week, with sideways movement in between. Improved weather forecasts and de-risking were behind both of the big selloffs seen this week. The stage is set for soybeans to swing big with the changing forecasts. The tight balance sheets we knew we had coming into this year didn’t allow for any problems with production.

Despite the wet spring, good early Chinese demand and overall strong corn market, November soybeans have traded in a relatively constricted trading range from $12.87 1/4 to $14.11 1/4 since late-March.

November soybeans this week closed at $13.57 1/4,

NYSTROM, from pg. 26A A Reuters survey of traders pegged the U.S. corn yield at 155.6 bushels per acre with a range from 153.5 to 157.5 bu./acre. The last U.S. Department of Agriculture yield projection was 158.7 bu./acre.

Remember the Aug.11 USDA report will include any acreage adjustments after re-surveying South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota and Montana.

The U.S. dollar came within a point of the multiyear low as the U.S. government creeps nearer to the Aug. 2 deadline to raise the debt ceiling. If the government is unable to reach an agreement, the U.S. dollar would be expected to fall and commodities to rise. However, in this case there could be a counter reaction.

If the ceiling isn’t raised, concerns about economic health and demand could be negatively construed for commodities as well. As of Friday, it’s being reported that the U.S. Treasury is working on a list of payment priorities if no agreement is reached. We’re in uncharted territory with the United States in the spotlight rather than some other country.

From the ethanol sector this week, Marathon Oil announced they would not be blending E-15 due to concerns about liability for possible engine damage.

Ethanol production was up 1,000 barrels per day from last week, but down 2.1 percent from last year.

The quantity of beef available to consumers in the United States has declined a startling amount in recent years, and that trend is going to continue, according to Chris Hurt, Purdue University Extension economist.

The declining supplies are related to continuing liquidation of the beef cow herd in the past few years due to high feed prices, a weak U.S. dollar spurring beef exports and drought in the southwest and southeast, said Hurt, who adds that declining supplies will support prices across the cattle complex at new record highs in 2011 and 2012.

But the news isn’t all good. The heat and drought in many areas has hurt feed crops and resulted in the smallest hay crop in over a century, driving prices higher. A headline this week all across the internet reads “Hay crisis reaches north Texas, ranchers stunned at shortage.” Alfalfa hay prices have surged over 50 percent in the past year to a record $186 per ton in May and, with hay and grass making up about half a cow’s ration, farmers are forced to feed less costly alternative feeds, but that will surely affect milk production.

In Friday’s DairyLine, Natzke outlined how inputs are taking a bigger bite out of improving dairy prices. He reported USDA data showing costs of production in June were the highest in more than 30 months, approaching the previous highs of 2008, and overall costs are up about 11 percent from a year ago.

The biggest culprit is feed, representing more than three-quarters of the total increase. The other big ticket items on the list are fuel and electricity costs, which are up 33 percent from a year ago, he said.

Thinking back reveals lots of agricultural changes Looking at the current issues in agriculture, I wonder if many people remember the issues farmers faced a mere 15 years ago. Some of the items that I think about for crop farmers revolve around the major input categories: seed, fertilizer, chemicals and crop insurance.

People involved in production agriculture know that vast improvements have been made in seed genetics to allow farmers to be much more productive and efficient. Fifteen years ago, Roundup Ready soybeans became commercially available, followed by corn in 1998.

In 2011, some livestock producers

are trying to find varieties that do not contain the Roundup Ready and corn borer resistant gene. It has been somewhat of a challenge because many seed companies have transformed their varieties to have these traits, at a minimum, and root worm control as well.

Fertilizer changes from 1996 until today might not be as obvious as seed technology but in one aspect, might surpass changes seen in the area of seed genetics. I would contend, for the most part, prior to 1996, manure as a source of fertilizer was mostly scoffed at by most crop-only farmers. Manure was viewed as a waste product that livestock farmers wanted to “get rid of”

instead of “manage”.

Were manure samples taken from manure pits and analyzed to determine the nutrient content like they are in 2011? No. Was manure sold to crop farmers to be used as fertilizer? Not like it is today.

The area of manure and manure management has become an important part of today’s agricultural economy.

Few inputs have impacted production agriculture as much as crop protection technology. It is likely that walking or riding soybeans will be forgotten by today’s farm kids much like picking corn or shelling corn was forgotten by the generation or two before them.

Crop insurance might have the largest impact in terms of revenue generated by today’s farms compared to those in 1996. Prior to 1996, crop insurance was mostly used to guarantee bushels of production. The old saying many farmers had was, “I’m not selling any grain until it is in the bin.”

When the first Crop Revenue Coverage policies were issued, many farmers

had a steep learning curve to fully understand how to use this tool to assist them in marketing their crops before it was harvested. In 2011, I would estimate that most farmers understand how to use their crop insurance revenue products as a vital tool in their marketing plans.

It is fun to think back to certain times of production agriculture and remember the challenges we faced, and how we overcame those obstacles.

I wonder what obstacles we will face in the years ahead. Environmental Protection Agency guidelines, source-verified products and land use issues might be some new challenges we face.

Israel market reforms could be opening for U.S. dairy MIELKE, from pg. 29A ■ Speaking of exports, dairy broker FC Stone’s Executive Edition, reports that Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has adopted recommendations for dairy market reform that would slash dairy prices in his country. The reforms include opening Israel’s dairy market to imports.

The U.S.’s closest ally could become a large dairy customer.

Also, the Yasheng Group, a Chinese agricultural, chemical and biotechnology company headquartered in California, announced it will start importing U.S. nonfat dry milk into China. The plan is to enter the growing Chinese milk powder market with high-quality infant formula, according to FC Stone.

■ Last week I reported on comments made on DairyLine radio by Dairy Management Inc.’s David Pelzer regarding falling milk consumption.

Pelzer continued that series this week, addressing lactose intolerance as a

“growth market for milk.”

The dairy checkoff has as one of its goals to reach lactose-intolerant consumers via lactose-free dairy products.

One way to do that, he said, is to “work with the brands that have the market power behind them.” He cited HP Hood’s Lactaid as an example, pointing to its packaging and marketing as a way to get other companies to pursue this niche market.

Pelzer pointed to milk’s nutritional value. “Set a bottle of water on the table and a bottle of milk, which is better for you?” he asked. “For us in the industry, the answer to that is easy but we need to educate consumers about the nutrient richness of our product.”

He said consumers need to consider the nutritional value of the beverages they choose when comparing the costs.

Reducing the risk of farming’s harmful stings The volatile agricultural climate is just like driving that tractor faster and faster. Producers have been trying not to lose control. There is grain to sell at volatile prices and inputs to purchase which change dramatically as well. Variable costs like fuel, rent, fertilizer and repairs, are rising and eroding potential profits.

Pricing grains is not easy as prices move in either direction by large amounts daily. Selling commodities and pricing inputs in this climate requires a joint consideration in order for producers to attempt to lock-in any potential profits. These potential profits are far from predictable because per-acre costs continue to escalate. Factoring in all these variables feels just like that tractor driver shifting up the gears and speeding faster through his pasture.

The financial risk of a future sting in farming is increasing dramatically along with all of these variables. To stay viable in this setting for the long run, a successful producer will know his variable costs,

Organizing your farm team At our annual meeting with our Farm Business Management families, I had five farmers assist me. During our discussion we had them assume positions of an offensive football team.

Two of the farmers were big, young, strong athletic men; two others were older, one with a bum knee and the other with a bad hip. However, both were still strong men. The last one was a taller, lankier, skillful individual.

Now assuming the role of a coach and running the ball was our game plan, we discussed the various ways to form the offensive line. If our goal as a team, was to run the ball outside the tackles or run an outside sweep play; who would we want where? For an outside running play we need to have an offensive lineman who has speed to get out and run block for the running backs. As a coach you would place your two young, strong athletic men at the positions to be able to pull and run block down field.

Now for the two older linemen with some physical issues, they have the knowledge and experience to block but are maybe lacking speed due to day-today wear and tear on the body of blocking outside. They would be better suited as straight ahead man-to-man blocking for inside run plays. As with our last farmer, the taller lankier athlete, we need a quarterback who can see over the offensive line and orchestrate the

nesota who can help. A good risk management plan will diminish the potential for that harmful sting. For more information on farm business management, log on to the website at www.fbm.mnscu.edu.

THE LAND, AUGUST 5, 2011

Farm business management lessons can be learned in everyday tasks. A farmer shared the story of his tractor versus a bumblebee. The farmer was driving fence lines on his John Deere 3020, fixing some snow damage. He is allergic to bees and all of the sudden there was a single large bee circling him.

He shifted up a gear and hit the throttle, but still the bee hung with him. Mind you he is driving in the pasture and the tools for fixing the fence are bouncing around on the deck of the tractor. He pulled down his cap, felt the wind on his face, and shifted into road gear. The tools are bouncing off the tractor, the pasture trail was long and rough, but finally the bee tired and stopped the chase before it could sting him. The farmer’s final comment was “a bee can fly faster than a tractor for a short period of time.”

I pictured my friend shifting the gears of his 3020 tractor higher and faster while trying to escape that bumble bee.

The last few years of farming have been similar to my friend’s bee experience.
