Pardon my English, but most smalltown county fairs ain’t what they used to be, simply because of declining populations in many rural areas. That typically means fewer 4-H clubs and fewer 4-H participants in the many competitive categories that add that flavor to a county fair. However the Renville County Pork Producers certainly added flavor to my county’s fair this year.

Under the tutelage of pork producer Blair Anderson, the group conducted their first-ever Pork Barbeque Ribs contest. Six individuals plus three local restaurants’ chefs competed.

OPINION
various cooks went all out to make us aware of the delicious taste of freshly grilled pork. I wouldn’t mind doing this again.” Said Laura Fox, a college student and daughter of Renville County Commissioner Bob Fox, “It was a great event. I was very thrilled to have the opportunity to be a judge. I think each competitor did a nice job of preparing their racks.” And judge and pork-producer Mary Peichel said, “Being involved in the pork industry, I felt it my civic duty to come here and judge this event. I had a great time. And yes, pork is absolutely delicious!”
I understand this type of competition is “old hat” for a few county fairs where Can you imagine the sensory delight of even being pork is king, such as the Martin County Fair in Fairclose to their various grills as these nine contestants mont, Minn., where I’m told several hundred people were doing their “special prep work” on their rack of get involved in the tasting pleasure of freshly grilled ribs?

include anyone with a special interest and the checkbook to pay for it. (Links to MAPLight documents cited here are posted at www.farmandfoodfile.com.) The biggest special interest was “lawyers and law firms” who coughed up $31.5 million since 2001; the second biggest was “securities & investment” firms who sent $11.2 million to Capitol Hill. Some investment, eh? Very secure and all perfectly legal. And dirty. In fact, it’s this dirty system that has led to our dirty debt problem: Capitol Hill’s vulgar campaign finance system values dollars over ideas, special interests over national interests. If you want to solve the debt problem, solve the campaign finance problem because, as a rancher friend recently noted, “Until then, you’re treatin’ an alcoholic for a cocaine problem.” ••• Alan Guebert’s “Farm and Food File” is published weekly in more than 70 newspapers in North America.

The Land, Linder Farm Network celebrate 35 years of service As the United States was celebrating its bicentennial in 1976, two mainstays of ag media — the Linder Farm Network and The Land — were born. Thirty-five years later, in the Forum Tent at the 2011 Farmfest, discussions of politics and policy were put on hold for just a few minutes to acknowledge two things everyone could agree upon: Linder and The Land are great Upper Midwest farming traditions, and you never turn down free cake.

Ergonomics is the science of designing the job, equipment and workplace to fit the worker. By applying ergonomic principles in the workplace, we reduce the likelihood that workers of all ages will experience a musculoskeletal disorder and help ensure that workers of all ages stay safe, comfortable and productive. Work-related musculoskeletal disorders can occur when tasks are repetitive, require awkward postures to accomplish or require excessive force. A work-related musculoskeletal disorder can range from mild muscle aches and pains to longterm disabling health problems, including carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, rotator cuff syndrome and chronic back injuries, among others. A third of injuries that cause those who farm to miss work are sprains and strains; and a quarter of them are back injuries. Work practices, which cause such musculoskeletal disorders, not only hurt workers’ health, but also affect workers’ earnings and

Grain handling disasters can be averted By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Handling grain is a year-round activity for farmers, as is the need to practice safety. Each year there are stories of people becoming trapped in stored grain, but these accidents can be prevented. Even when they are not prevented, the victims can be rescued. Dan Neenan, manager of the National Education Center for Agricultural Safety, demonstrated NECAS’s mobile “grain resDick Hagen cue” system at Farmfest.

sure to extract that person,” Neenan said. “So if you had only two people in the bin trying to do that rescue without any equipment, they too would actually sink before getting the victim out. If that person is trapped to their neck, the lifting force is 900 pounds. “Realizing the force required, don’t attempt to pull the person out of the grain. The answer is to drain the grain from around the person,” he said. The Farmfest display showed the use of grain rescue tubes which create a coffer dam around the victim. Then a standard shop vac is used to vacuum the grain from the inside of the rescue tubes until the grain gets down below the victim’s knees. “At that point, he should be able to step out, or be lifted out with assist from the rescuers.” The challenge in most grain bin rescues is not having access to the 4-foot long metal rescue tubes (four sections that assemble into a 3-foot diameter silo) which are worked down around the victim’s body and clamped together preventing additional grain from sliding around the victim as grain is vacuumed from inside the tubing. Neenan said only 6 to 8 percent of U.S. fire departments nationally now have purchased these rescue tubes because they’ve only been on the market for about five years. “But we’re seeing a big push now toward getting

these units in place with more fire departments and elevators, plus trained in the procedures to handle these entrapments.” A set of these rescue tubes costs approximately $2,700. Many rural fire departments conduct special fund raising projects to get themselves equipped. In 2010, agriculture experienced 551 fatalities nationwide with 47 being grain bin entrapments, plus there were 70,000 disabling injuries. According to Purdue University researchers, 2010 was the deadliest in decades for grain bin accidents. Tractor rollovers still are the No. 1 source of injuries and fatalities in agriculture. NECAS urges these safety precautions: • Stay out of bins. • Turn off augers before entering bins. • Provide a body harness with lifeline for anyone going into a grain bin. • Make sure there is someone outside the bin who can help if something goes wrong.

they really need.” Maybe they’d like a lift for every tractor, but they may only get a lift for the tractors they use most often. The assessment process also helps the farmers take a hard look at their operation. “We want to keep them on the farm, but due to their injury, they may need to look at a change in their operation,” Rosten said. “If farming is no longer a viable option, we will also assist the farmer in making a career change.” Rosten and Stores shared the story of a

times we’re just there to help fill in the gaps.” Once a farmer has suffered an injury that may hinder their farm work, they need to get in touch with the AgrAbility Project. This in itself may be a big step.“You’d be surprised how many disabled farmers there are,” Stores said. “There’s pride involved. A lot of disabled farmers aren’t always looking for help. That’s a barrier sometimes.” Once they do come forward, an onsite assessment is done of their farm. “We come in and take a look at the whole operation,” Stores said. “It helps to have a third-party assessment, because a lot of time a farmer will just keep trying to do things the way they always have, even before they suffered their injury.” When someone thinks of a farm injury, it is common to think of the loss of a limb or mobility, but farm injuries go beyond that. “We had one farmer who walked with a cane, and we found out a solution for helping him was as simple as putting a cane holder on every tractor or combine, so that when he got up there, he had a place to put his cane, and it was always accessible for him,” Stores said. Some injury cases are a little more complicated than that. “As part of the assessment, we need to help the farmer prioritize what they ‘need.’ They may have a list of 50 things that would make their life and work easier, but more than likely, they are not going to get all 50,” Stores said. “We can help them prioritize that down to maybe 10 things that

By KEVIN SCHULZ The Land Editor Nobody plans to have a farm accident. Nobody wants to be disabled as the result of an accident. But, as they say, “stuff” happens. When that “stuff ” happens, AgrAbility is there to help you keep farming. “AgrAbility has been around since 1990, but how many people even know that it exists?,” asked Dan Stores, assistive technology program manager for EquipALife. AgrAbility is a collaboration between the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the University of Minnesota Extension and EquipALife. “The resources and information available are huge,” Stores said. Knowing where to turn is a big hurdle for a producer who has just suffered a debilitating injury, one that may make a further life as a farmer difficult. “The main objective of vocational rehab is to keep them working,” Stores said. In the case of an injured farmer, that means finding a way to make their equipment accessible or make sure that they are still able to perform their chores. “Farmers are pretty ingenious when it comes to making things to make their lives easier,” said Howard Rosten, information and referral/technology manager for SMILES, the south central Minnesota contact for the AgrAbility project. “Some-

Q&A with Minnesota Beef Council’s Colleen Zenk By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Colleen Zenk, director of Nutrition and Consumer Information of the Minnesota Beef Council, relishes her opportunities to tell the story of agriculture and nutrition. She recently conducted a culinary workshop at Worthington, Minn., for foodservice directors, nutrition consultants and food handlers. Here are excerpts from an interview with Zenk. Q: I’m hearing some food nutritionists, food scientists, even doctors suggesting that concerns about red meat in the diet are “false alarms.” Are we recognizing that red meat could, in fact, be the best way to reduce diabetes, obesity and other related symptoms occurring in a growing percentage of the U.S. population?
everything we need to be healthy. Lean meat, particularly red meat, has nutrients that are very difficult to get from other foods. Studies show that if we eat lean meat/protein — a little more of it, and more often — it helps us control our weight, prevent muscle loss as we age and can assist in controlling blood sugar. With the increasing rates of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity, lean meat can be a key component in conquering those diseases.

Q: Should we have an animal identification system so that consumers can, if they wish, trace the origin of the meat they buy at the local food store? A: I think so. Consumers want to trust their food supply and feel more confident if they know where it comes from. The rapid growth of direct farm-to-consumer marketing is good evidence. There are great stories to tell about how family farms raise crops and livestock. Most consumers relate well to meeting the farm families that produce their food. Q: What was the main reason for your culinary workshop, which included a farm tour? A: We are no longer an agricultural society. Consumers are further and further removed from where their food comes from. As a result they have many misconceptions about farming, many questions about farming practices, and want to be assured that they can trust the food supply. We hosted this workshop — partnering with the Midwest Dairy Association — to reach out to many of those who are in contact with consumers in a role that influences what they eat so we wanted to make sure that those “nutrition influencers” had accurate information. We also wanted them to meet the people who produce their food. We wanted to change the perception of who a “farmer” is today and that farming today is much different today than it has been. They saw educated men and women with young families who are very business savvy and who are constantly updating their methods to use the best science available in animal handling and production. Q: In your work with the Minnesota Beef Council, are you seeing a greater disconnect between food producers and food buyers? A: Absolutely and with the access to the internet, information — both accurate and misleading — is everywhere. We want to make sure consumers are getting information based on the latest science and research and assist them in making informed choices. Q: Why is this “disconnect” happening? A: Today we are such an urban population, with most consumers now three to four generations removed from the farm. Many adults have never been on a farm — or seen a farm animal up close. We also have a lot of activists — or others with personal beliefs or agendas — that can be very persuasive, even if what they are promoting isn’t true. People are easily swayed if they don’t have any other information to help them process it. Q: What needs to be done to rectify this situation? A: Farmers and ranchers need to “sing their own song” or “blow their own horn” — anyway you want to put it. We can’t just quietly do our work and not help others understand what we do. We have to use our voices, visit with our neighbors, and not be afraid to speak out. Websites such as explorebeef.org help tell our story but we need to use all the media to get our story out there. Farm visits are great, and the organizations that promote farm tours are making some headway.

Produce auction draws variety of veggies, customers By RENAE B. VANDER SCHAAF The Land Correspondent ELMA, Iowa — Edna Ferber immortalized growing produce in her 1924 Pulitzer winning book “So Big.” Now almost a century later, wholesale produce auctions are regaining popularity. Iowa now boasts at least three. They are more common in the eastern states. The rural communities of Elma, Kalona and Wapsie Valley have given their farmers an opportunity to vend their vegetables. “The Cedar Valley Produce Auction house opened here at Elma in 2003,” said General Manager Ivan Martin. “The building was constructed a year before.” Elma is located in Howard County in northeast Iowa. Martin said the auction house is organized as a cooperative with shareholders. To be a shareholder, $5,000 of produce must be sold through the auction house. Each of the 44 shareholders has one vote. A good share of the shareholders are Amish or Mennonite families. Consistent with their religious beliefs, some of the produce is brought to the auction house with a horse and buggy or steel-wheeled tractor. Steel wheels on tractors do not promote traveling; but encourage families to stay home and work together. Such was a major component to the building of the Cedar Valley Produce Auction, said David Oberhetzer, who played a role in organizing the cooperative. “Growing corn and soybeans didn’t always pay the bills, so we sought out something that would provide an income, yet allow families to work together,” he said.“Produce auctions worked good in Pennsylvania.” Many of
Renae B. Vander Schaaf
Buyers and sellers come from far and wide to the Cedar Valley Produce Auction house. these families had come from Pennsylvania, where they were familiar with the growing and selling of produce. Auction days are Monday at noon, Wednesday and Friday at 10 a.m. “The season begins in April with bedding plants, flowers and just a little produce. Sale days get longer as more and more produce comes in.” He tries to limit sales to five hours. Produce is packaged in boxes that can be purchased at the auction house. This allows for a uniform size when auctioning. Each consignment is given the number of the consignor. Regular consignors have their same number each day. Customers show up for reasons as varied as the pro-
duce they buy. Some come just to purchase for their fresh vegetable needs, others to stock their grocery store shelves, or their tables at a farmers market. They may know that on a particular day they have time to can tomatoes, so off to the market they go to purchase a few bushels of the fresh, locally grown fruit. As the calendar changes to September, Martin sees a large variety of produce coming in — tomatoes, cantaloupes, watermelons, onions, green beans, cucumbers, potatoes, acorn squash, spaghetti squash and even a few pumpkins. An atmosphere of county fair excitement prevails during their pumpkin sale day, scheduled for Sept. 21. Flatbeds, wagons and any others sorts of conveyance will be heaped high with the harvest colors and shapes of winter squash, pumpkins and other staples of fall eating and decorating. “It is a big day,” said Martin, the auction’s general manager. “We sell the bulk of the pumpkins grown on that day.” The produce auction has been successful in its few years in Iowa. In 2010, sales exceeded the $2 million mark. That will likely continue, especially with satisfied customers such as Jim Mohr. Mohr, of Auburn, Iowa, travels the 190 miles each sale day. He resells the produce at his farm market stand that he has had for 21 years at the Junction of Highways 71 and 175. “I used to grow everything myself, but these families ... are professionals. Their produce is at a better quality than I can grow myself. I never miss a sale.”

Cover story: Whitetails not your everyday livestock By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent “I’ve been bow-hunting for 30-plus years,” said Randy Van Overbeke. “I bow-hunted whitetails so much and loved the animal so much that the next step for me was to raise them.” That’s how Van Overbeke explains how he got into raising whitetail deer. He and his wife, Susan, operate Redwood River Whitetails. They have more than 200 deer on their deer farm at Russell, Minn. It may sound exotic, but “it’s like other livestock business,” said Susan, who grew up on a livestock farm in South Dakota. “We sell bred does, open does, buck fawns, doe fawns, breeder bucks and trophy bucks.” The trophy bucks go to hunting preserves, the rest to other breeders. Susan is secretary-treasurer of the Minnesota Deer Breeders Association. Their website lists around 150 breeders in the state. These deer are considered livestock. They are not domesticated animals, the Van Overbeke’s point out, but neither are they wild deer that have been penned up. Their deer are 30 generations removed from their wild ancestors. They certainly aren’t tame animals, nor do they want them to be. The deer recognize a four-wheeler and a golf cart when they drive down the alley between the pens, so that doesn’t spook them, but they said that a person walking down the alley would send the deer running for the opposite side of the pen. “I can walk into their pens up to the feeder and they stand and watch,” Randy said. “If I step beyond their feeders, they take off running.” Still, they are considered livestock in Minnesota and are regulated as such. “We’re the most highly regulated agricultural
Randy and Susan Van Overbeke raise more than 200 whitetail deer at their Russell, Minn., deer farm.

livestock,” Susan said. They test and register all of their animals. Every three years they test for tuberculosis and brucellosis, and every animal over the age of 12 months that dies is sent in to be tested for chronic wasting disease. All of the testing, vaccinating and worming makes a healthy herd. “It makes it kind of difficult, too,” Randy said. “A whitetail is prone to stress. When you start running them through chutes, they get stressed out, and can even die from stress.” The Van Overbeke’s have been raising whitetails for five-and-a-half years. This fall they will sell their second crop of trophy bucks to the preserves. They have seven breeding bucks, and most of their breeding is natural. They artificially breed to bring other genetic lines into the herd, or other traits of the antlers. When they artificially breed, they are hoping to have doe fawns to carry on the new genetics. This year they had all buck fawns out of their See WHITETAIL, pg. 19A

WHITETAIL, from pg. 18A artificially bred does. “You picture the nice buck you like to see, and that’s what you breed for,” Randy said. “The average deer in the wild is probably about 150-inch antler size.” (Antler size combines the length of the tines and the beam, four circumference lengths and the inside spread.) “The average that preserves sell is probably around a 150- to 180-inch buck since most people can afford it at that class,” Susan said. “We have several over 200 inches this year.” Some breeders are now going for huge size, but the Van Overbekes want a buck that still looks like a The thing about deer whitetail deer. “We would like farming is that you to achieve a 200have to invest for a inch plus mature long time before you buck at 3 to 4 see dividends.

Randy said it takes a good marriage, a lot of money, and a lot of patience and time. To that Susan added a lot of knowledge, a lot of research, a lot of contacts and a lot of internet time. “The thing about deer farming is that you have to invest for a long time before you see dividends,” Randy said. “It’s a long-term commitment.” Randy also hopes that some day it will be a fulltime commitment. For now, he raises deer while continuing his other full-time profession, landscaping. After years of hunting, Randy thought he knew whitetail deer, but he’s still learning. “They are very dangerous,” he said. “When they are growing up and have velvet antlers, they are mellow and friendly. Once they get hard horns and their testosterone level gets up there, they are very aggressive animals. They could pin you against the gate and kill you. The whitetail has a temper that is unbelievable, and they don’t forget easily.” “He thought he knew a lot about whitetails after he hunted them for years,” Susan said. “Now he knows a lot more — how they sound, how they act, what they do.” “And how not to trust them,” he said.

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 2, 2011
By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Thanks to Mother Nature’s somewhat cantankerous mood all spring long — and much of the summer, too — crop insurance claims will likely take on every dimension imaginable this year. Your attention to detail will have a major impact on the effectiveness of your crop insurance policy. This starts with timely submission of a claim to your agent, following the
protocol and instructions of your adjuster, concluding only after every bushel has been accounted for. Lee Broderius, assistant vice president at AgStar in Glencoe, Minn., indicated most farmers are now thinking the 2011 crop will likely meet or exceed their crop insurance guarantees. He added however, “there is a growing concern about quality, test weights and the likelihood of highly variable crop moisture levels.”

Even if they don’t think they have a bushel claim, we won’t know until the end of October if they will have a revenue claim. — Lee Broderius Quality Crop insurance policies have some protection against extremely poor grain quality. For example, there is a quality adjustment factor used when test weights for corn drop below 49 pounds per bushel. In general, the lower the test weight, the higher discount factor applied to a claim. Essentially the discount reduces the bushels that count against the guarantee, possibly increasing the indemnity for each step it drops below 49 pounds. In addition, there are some toxins found in poor-quality corn that can only be identified in the field, which means a field appraisal is required. As harvest nears, Broderius suggested that producers review the provisions of their policy related to quality and discuss concerns with their agent to determine if a claim should be submitted. Claims If it’s decided to submit a claim, producers should be sure to sharpen their pencils prior to harvest. It is imperative that good production records are kept. Typically insurance units are identified by section number and farm name, and time and heartache will be saved if producers keep track of yields by these units, according to Broderius. He acknowledged that requirements specifying keeping load records and assembly sheets by section and farm is a little extra work, but well worth it in the long run. Storage On-farm storage provides a benefit, but it also poses some challenges to crop insurance claims. One of his concerns for clients is the existence of old crop still in the bin. “Get it measured,” he said, and cautioned about commingling any of this year’s crop with old crop. Farmers need to contact their crop insurance agent to request a bin measurement. “Farmers cannot assume that they, their agent, or Farm
Service Agency can do the measuring,” Broderius said. In all cases, the insurance company must authorize a third party or complete the measurement themselves to maintain the integrity of a claim. A great rule of thumb: Don’t commingle old and new crop grain until your approval is given. In situations with spot losses, a producer might have grain from six fields headed for the same bin. “If one of those fields has a loss and that field’s grain has been put in the middle of the bin,” Broderius said, “it’s impossible to determine the production from that field without load records.” Silage “For producers planning to chop corn for silage or combine high-moisture corn,” he said, “we recommend field appraisals prior to harvest.” This serves two purposes: identifying potential production losses and third-party verification for actual production history integrity. “Even if they don’t think they have a bushel claim, we won’t know until the end of October if they will have a revenue claim.” From time to time, an adjuster may authorize the use of check strips, but this is on a case-by-case basis only and is typically dependent on the workload of the adjuster. Change for 2011: “We have seen an increase of silage variety corn for our dairy operations and in some counties those (previously uninsurable) varieties are now eligible for federal crop insurance.” Damaged crops Regardless of crop condition, Broderius said, producers still need to manage their crop through harvest. For example, if aphids severely damaged a field and it’s questioned whether it even pays to harvest, that field still has to be managed and appraised to validate the claim. “Without verification of your inputs, you could lose your claim and even be subject to a penalty,” he said. Bottom line A paper trail is still the most reliable way to verify what happens in 2011 crop insurance claims. Producers should communicate regularly with their agent, identify possible losses and keep good records. Spending that time this fall, will help make sure that trail is clear and accurate.

A ‘Storied’ history in the meat business By BRIAN OJANPA Mankato Free Press If the meat business had a hall of fame, John Story would be in it. Which is to say, there is, and he is. In November, the retired supermarket company executive and Mankato, Minn., resident will be inducted into the Meat Industry John Story Hall of Fame, which annually honors leaders from all sectors of the livestock, meat and poultry processing industries. Story, who will be among 12 inductees at ceremonies in Chicago, worked nearly 50 years in the industry, retiring in 1998 as head of meat and deli operations for Fairway Foods. He will join past hall-of-famers that include Kentucky Fried Chicken founder Col. Harland Sanders, McDonald’s founder Ray Kroc, Hormel Foods President Joel Johnson, country singer Jimmy Dean, who became a breakfast sausage magnate and a spate of food scientists, professors and others who made significant contributions to the industry. Hall of Fame President Chuck Jolley said Story was instrumental in the establishment of nationwide meat-merchandising standards to benefit consumers. “When he got started in the supermarket business back in the ’50s the idea was that you just threw some meat in a meat case and stood back and A piece of meat let people buy it. John would have a was one of the pioneers name like in meat-case merchan‘Grand Steak’ dising,” Jolley said. or ‘Hawaiian Michigan native Steak’ that had Story said the work he nothing to do did as a member of the with the meat Uniform Meat Identity Standards committee itself. helped bring identifica— John Story tion clarity to shoppers nationwide. “Back then the consumers were saying, ‘We don’t know what these cuts are because the names are different in different parts of the country.’ A piece of meat would have a name like ‘Grand Steak’ or ‘Hawaiian Steak’ that had nothing to do with the meat itself,” Story said. The standards committee ensured that, say, top round steak was identified as such whether it was sold in California, New York or all points in between. Story’s work with the committee also included development of marketing programs for beef and pork producers who heretofore had none. As an executive with the Upper Midwest chain Fairway Foods he helped the company grow meat sales from $10 million to $120 million annually over the span of 18 years. ••• The Mankato Free Press is a sister publication to The Land under The Free Press Media.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”
Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey recognized Century and Heritage Farm families during a ceremony at the State Fair again this year. To qualify, a family must have owned at least 40 acres for 100 years or more in the case of Century Farms and 150 years or more for a Heritage Farm. This year 341 Century Farms and 56 Heritage Farms were recognized. “It is always a special privilege and a great joy to be able to honor these families who represent the rich legacy of Iowa agriculture,” Northey said. “The Century and Heritage Farm program is a celebration of Iowa agriculture and farm families who feed the world and care for the land.” The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship has partnered with the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation since 1976 to recognize families that have owned and worked a farm for 100 years or more. Including this year’s recipients, now over 17,000 farms from across the state have been recognized The Heritage Farm program was started in 2006, on the 30th anniversary of the Century Farm program, and now more than 500 farms have been recognized. The 2011 Century and Heritage Farms Program ceremony was held at the Iowa State Fair on Aug. 16. “The program acknowledges the deep roots Iowa agriculture and the special bond that exists between Iowa families and the land they farm,” Northey said. “The Iowa State Fair is a celebration of Iowa and Iowa Agriculture, so it’s an ideal place to recognize the Century Farm and Heritage Farm recipients.” Below are the Century Farms and Heritage Farms from the Iowa counties within The Land’s coverage area. Honorees are listed under respective counties, by last name, first name, additional family members, city and the year of the farm’s origin.

Wadena twisted together, strengthened by tornado By TIM KING The Land Correspondent The Wadena Deer Creek Wolverines volleyball team was the winner of the 2010-11 Class AA State tournament. They finished their season with a perfect 33-0 record. There is a photo of the team in the back of the book “Twisted Together by an EF4.” In the photo the winning team stands in front of the high school. The windows of the school are broken, the facade has holes in it, and you can see day-
light through the roof. The school was made unusable by the EF4 tornado that devastated Wadena on June 17, 2010. The photograph of the winning team in front of the destroyed school is a powerful statement. The girls were unable to attend their school during the 2010-11 school year. But they patched together a team, practiced where they could, played hard and came out of the season as winners.

The community of Wadena, like their volleyball team, is on a mission. Like the team, the community intends to be a winner. The 39-page book is part of their winning strategy. The book was a project of the Wadena and Minnesota historical societies. It is a historical document and it takes the reader through the storm warnings, the storm, the shock and early clean-up, and the planning for longterm recovery. The stories are compelling. The photos are breathtaking. This is the beginning of Rodney Tucker’s story. “I was home by myself sitting at my desk doing paperwork. It started to hail and right behind me was a window that broke from the hail hitting it. I grabbed my daughter’s dog and went into the basement; it wasn’t 30 seconds after we got down there and it was just a terrible sound of glass flying everywhere. The sound of glass and the community center metal roof falling on my house was just deafening.” Tucker recounts how his life was barely spared. Next to his story is a photo of a monstrous Komatsu loader dumping a portion of the community center roof into a heap of tornado shredded metal. Other stories are told by a girl who was sucked out of her car and another girl whose house had the entire side ripped off — all two sides.
The girl, Moriah Wood, is shown in a photograph with her sister looking out of the second story of the house where there once was a wall. All of the stories are short, fast-paced page turners that leave the gawker in all of us wanting more. But the takeaway message of this small but marvelous book is not the awesome, horrible destruction of the tornado. The story is really about other powerful forces of nature that were present in Wadena on June 17, 2010, and continue to be so today. The human spirit, combined with good planning, good friends and neighbors, and some resources is equal to an EF4 tornado. With all of those things the community is putting the storm behind them and moving forward, just as their winning volleyball team put their ruined school building behind them. The community of Wadena became twisted together, and stronger, as a result of the tornado. “Twisted Together” costs $20 and is available at the Wadena County Historical Society at 603 Jefferson Street North, Wadena MN 56482, (218) 6319079; the Wadena Otter Tail Long Term Recovery Office at 119 Jefferson St. South, Wadena; the Open Book at 114 Jefferson St. South in Wadena; or it can be ordered online at www.magcloud.com/browse/issue/20 3166. Proceeds from the sale of the book are going to the Wadena County Historical Society and the long-term Disaster Relief Committee.

The GMD 3150 TL trailed disc mower cuts more acres per hour and offers simple adjustments, low maintenance and dependable grass and forage harvesting. It has a working width of 10-feet, 2-inches and can cut at speeds as high as 10 miles per hour for maximum efficiency. This model is an addition to the series that was introduced last year with the GMD 3550 TL and GMD 4050 TL, that have working widths of 11-feet, 6-inches and 13-feet respectively. The GMD 3150 TL provides easy hook-and-go attachment that gets producers in the field faster. It also has superior flotation, unlike caddy models, and is more maneuverable than the competition at every turn. The new, rugged Optidisc cutterbar, with differential disc spacing, ensures a clean cut, even in challenging conditions. This cutterbar is also “lubed for life,” decreasing overall maintenance requirements. The Protectadrive cutterbar provides unsurpassed reliability and improved suspension with greater adjustability. The GMD 3150 TL trailed design lowers the tractor ballast requirement, allowing use with smaller tractors, while maintaining excellent stability both at work and in transport. This design is the better alternative to a large mounted disc mower or mower on a caddy.

People who desire a low-maintenance landscape that uses limited outside resources, is environmentally friendly and economically feasible and is aesthetically pleasing are looking for a sustainable landscape. The benefits of a sustainable landscape are that it uses fewer inputs (water, chemicals — fertilizer and pesticides, and labor) and creates minimal outputs (green waste), but is still aesthetically pleasing. In “Sustainable Home Landscapes,” she tells how to design two categories of sustainable landscapes — those that are new construction and ones that involve retrofitting an existing design. The full-color photographs complement the information about plant and turf selection, hardgoods and irrigation, as well as inspire the reader. The publication is available through the ISU Extension Online Store, www.extension.iastate.edu/store, for $6.50, plus shipping and handling. “Ornamental Water Features for the Midwest” was
designed to discuss the nuances of Midwest water features which wouldn’t necessarily be covered in a general “how to build a water feature” publication. “Water features in the Midwest are a little tricky relative to warmer parts of the country,” VanDerZanden said. This 24-page publication is divided into five chapters — Ecosystems, Types of water features, Design

A new classroom
Future site of AgStar Arena, Minnesota State Fairgrounds
“Where Farm and Family Meet”
the Minnesota State Fair is all about Forthesome, people and the food. Sure, there is a lot of both at the Great Minnesota Get-Together, but there is also a lot to be learned during the Fair’s 12-day run. Some see a great educational opportunity on the south end of the Fairgrounds, on what could be called “livestock row.” “People are getting further away from the farm and they need to be educated about agriculture,” said Paul DeBriyn, AgStar Financial Services pres-
ident and CEO. “The State Fair already offers great learning opportunities in the Miracle of Birth Center, the Moo Booth, and all the other such booths that help educate the public. This arena will just help further that education.”
“I will be retired by next year at this time, but you had better believe that I will be back,” Minnesota State Fair President Denny Baker said during the “straw-throwing ceremony on Aug. 27 during the State Fair.
“This arena” DeBriyn speaks of is the AgStar Arena that will be built on the site of the current Judging Arena that was built in the 1960s. The Judging Arena will be demolished this fall with construction of the AgStar Arena beginning soon thereafter to be ready for the 2012 State Fair.
Thom Petersen, Minnesota Farmers Union director of government relations, attended the “strawthrowing” ceremony with his sons, and fondly remembered the days of his showing livestock and horses in the old Judging Arena. “It’s sad to see the old building go, but it’s time for new traditions.”

Pro Farmer bets come in below USDA
Expect volatility, erratic moves
La Nina dryness deteriorates crops
The following market analysis is for the week ending Aug. 26. CORN — Declining crop prospects, limited rainfall over the Midwest, and updated crop tour reports combined to extend the rally in corn again this week. December corn set another contract high at $7.68 1/2 this week. It closed at $7.67, up 41 3/4 cents or 5 1/2 percent of value for the week. Corn conditions dropped 3 percent for the week ending Aug. 21 with Illinois falling 8 percent and Minnesota declining 5 percent. Stable to slightly lower conditions will be expected this coming week. The annual Pro Farmer Midwest Crop Tour was watched PHYLLIS NYSTROM Country Hedging closely throughout the week with St. Paul results published after the close on Aug. 26. Their national corn average yield estimate of 147.9 bushels per acre with a range of 146.45 to 149.4 bu./acre is 5.1 bu./acre under the August U.S. Department of Agriculture forecast. The crop tour projected the total U.S. corn crop at 12.484 billion bushels (range of 12.36 billion to 12.61 billion) versus the USDA’s latest 12.914 billion bushels. They also stated they used the USDA’s 84.4 billion harvested acres number to calculate their production estimates, but expect the harvested acreage number to drop. Based on tour results and adjusted for considerations outside the tour area and on tour history, various state-by-state yields from Pro Farmer are Minnesota, 169 bu./acre; Iowa, 164 bu./acre; Nebraska, 165 bu./acre; Illinois, 154.8 bu./acre; Indiana, 146.7 bu./acre and South Dakota, 140.5 bu./acre.
The livestock markets are still erratic and extremely volatile as we move into the last of August. With all the unsettled issues that effect the economy and thus the livestock markets, the volatility and the erratic moves in these markets are not likely to change in the near future. The cattle market has found a weakening trend as we approach the beginning of September. The beef cutouts appear to have run into resistance once again as the price moves higher. This has forced the packers to become more cautious in the bidding process to acquire live inventory. The fact that the latest U.S. JOE TEALE Department of Agriculture Cattle Broker on Feed report indicated that catGreat Plains Commodity tle on feed and placements were Afton higher than the trade had anticipated also weighed on the psychology of the market. The fact that the marketing number was better than the trade thought could counteract the overall bearishness of the numbers on feed and bring on some underlying strength to the producers to ask for higher money. The struggle between supply and demand should continue as bulls stand on the fact that supplies of cattle will be lower and the bears stand on the fact that domestic demand is continuing to shrink with the weakening economy. This will set the stage for the continuation of the extreme volatility and the quick and erratic moves in either direction for the weeks ahead. Therefore, producers should keep up-to-date on See TEALE, pg. 2B
U.S. row crops continue to deteriorate as the tailend dryness of the La Nina plays out. Growing conditions have been less than ideal for most of the Corn Belt these last few weeks. The corn market has been working to factor this tightening of supply into the price. As of the date of this writing, the December corn futures contract has traded to new contract high prices eight out of the last 11 trading days. Aug. 26 the November soybean contract broke out of a long-held, sideways trading channel to set a new contract high. If the grain markets continue to climb, its role will be to ration TOM NEHER the supply by price. Higher prices AgStar VP Agribusiness will have an impact on the prof& Grain Specialist itability of the end-user and will Rochester eventually force the weaker players out of the market. This cycle can come back to haunt the holders of grain, when demand is rationed to the point that end-users are destroyed. They will no longer provide the needed demand to keep the bull market rolling. When this happens, prices will factor this lack of demand into the price with lower bids. This can be hard and cruel, yet it is the nature of a free market economy. The reactions of many in the trade have been almost as a matter-of-fact or “Ho Hum.” The market volatility has become so common that it is starting to feel normal to us in the trade. I received a telephone call from my brother the other night. We talked about the stock market volatility and the world economic scene. He said, See NEHER, pg. 2B

Grain Outlook
THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 2, 2011
2 B
Rain makes grain, and beans, this time of year NYSTROM, from pg. 1B Weekly export sales were in the middle of expectations at 15 million bushels, but sales to unknown of 244,000 metric tons for 2011-12 and 122,000 mt for 2012-13 may be indicating that buyers are nervous. Weekly ethanol production was up slightly at 904,000 barrels per day and is running 8 percent ahead of a year ago. This corresponds closely to the USDA corn usage for ethanol estimate of 5.02 billion bushels for this marketing year. OUTLOOK: Remember earlier this spring when we said we needed nearly ideal planting and growing conditions? Well, that didn’t happen and that’s why we’re here. As long as the corn crop is perceived to be getting smaller and ending stock estimates slip lower, the trend in corn will remain higher. The $7.80 level is short-term resistance, but if confidence increases that the balance sheet is getting tighter (lower yields and smaller acreage), then $8 and higher may be in the cross-hairs quickly. Watch for signs that demand is waning as that should be the first indication that high prices have done their job of rationing. Monitor ethanol production numbers for any rationing. Dare we mention that the possibility of an early frost hasn’t really come to the forefront yet? SOYBEANS — Soybeans also surged higher in a breakout to a new contract high this week with the November soybean contract closing up 55 cents at $14.23 1/2 per bushel. The new high in November
beans was $14.26/bu. August weather has not provided the moisture to give us a perfect ending to a challenging growing season. However, crop projections have stayed closely grouped. The Pro Farmer crop tour pegged the U.S. soybean average yield (adjusted) at 41.8 bu./acre, slightly higher than the August USDA estimate of 41.4 bu./acre. Their yield range runs from 40.96 to 42.64 bu./acre. Their soybean production number of 3.083 billion (range 3.02 billion bushels to 3.083 billion) compares to the USDA’s latest figure of 3.056 billion bushels. Their state-by-state estimates were Minnesota, 39 bu./acre; Iowa, 53 bu./acre; Illinois, 49 bu./acre; Nebraska, 52.5 bu./acre; Indiana, 44 bu./acre and South Dakota, 39 bu./acre. Crop conditions as of Aug. 21 pulled back with a 2 percent decline in the good/excellent category. Illinois and Iowa ratings each fell 4 percent. This is the lowest U.S. rating for this time of year since 2007. Weekly export sales were mundane at 4 million bushels for this year and 20.2 million bushels for
MARKETING
next year. The July Census crush at 129.6 million was also in line with expectations. OUTLOOK: The next two weeks’ weather will determine final soybean yield — slightly better if it rains, contracting if not. The next weather market to watch will be in South America. While economics point to more corn acres at the expense of soybeans, they both could see increases. Soybeans have punched out of the $13 to $14 trading range, setting the next short-term resistance at $14.55. With critical weather still in front of us, we’ll leave the longer term trading range from $13.30 to $15 and higher per bushel. If rain is in the forecasts this week, we could expect some profit-taking to occur. Nystrom’s notes: The daily trading limit for corn was increased to 40 cents effective Aug. 22 versus 30 cents previously. Contract changes for the week ended Aug. 26: Minneapolis wheat was the wheat laggard this week, only closing up 16 cents, Kansas City wheat soared 49 1/4 cents higher, and Chicago wheat climbed 35 3/4 cents. Crude oil gained $2.96 this week to close at $85.37, heating oil jumped 10 1/2 cents, gasoline rose nearly 9 1/2 cents and natural gas lost a penny. For the week, the Dow rallied 467 points, gold dropped a whopping $54.80 per ounce and the U.S. dollar index showed a slight loss.
Pork cutouts follow live price from highs TEALE, from pg. 1B market conditions and protect inventories on market strength through the next several months. The hog market appears to have finally made that seasonally summer top as prices have dropped dramatically over the past several weeks. At the same time pork cutouts have followed the live price and have fallen from all-time highs. The demand for pork products slowed as we moved into those all-time highs, indicating a reluctance from retailers to acquire product due to shrinking retail demand.
The futures market is definitely indicating the fear that the number of hogs is on the increase as well as the shrinking domestic demand. Seasonally the hog market has had a tendency to weaken into the fall months and this year appears to be no different. From time to time the expectation that further export demand will surface and create short strength in the market, but overall it would appear that the cash side of the market will continue to move toward the lower futures prices. Producers should continue to remain current and look at strategies to protect live inventories.

NEHER, from pg. 1B “Several years ago, when the stock market would have a 200-point day; I considered that a big move. Now we have back-to-back 500-point swing days and it feels like normal.” Have we become complacent or just grown numb to market volatility? Or are we just learning to manage the volatility more gracefully than we did in 2008? We can only hope that the answer is the latter and that we have become stronger managers, by better managing our margins. If we are rewarding complacency with inaction, we may find ourselves “without a chair when the music stops.” Ed Usset, of the Center for Farm Financial Management, has a cast of celebrity marketing players in his “Winning the Game” educational offering. One of those players is Hank Holdem.
Hank never sells any of his crops pre-harvest and he holds the crop, un-priced until he has to clean out his bins to make room for the new crop right before harvest. Then he sells his crops across the scale, taking the going price. Hank wins once in a while, but has the poorest marketing record over time. Yet, Hank was the winner in 2008 and the last two years. We can’t argue with the facts, but we can look at the probability or odds of his luck having run its course. We are challenged to keep our management skills sharp and nimble. The financial decisions that we make over the next several years may impact the next several decades. Let’s not become complacent during these times of tremendous volatility and opportunity. Keep looking for the Grain Angles around every corner.

Livestock producers face uncertain markets and narrow margins. This situation has motivated them to optimize production methods, utilizing all resources including manure. In addition, increases in the price of commercial fertilizer experienced in the last five years has heightened interest in the use of livestock manure for supplying crop nutrients and has significantly increased its value. Over the past year more producers have been considering the contribution of manure’s value to their cash flow in livestock operation budgets, and seeking an appropriate market value in exchange with crop producers. More crop producers also are seeking livestock manure as a major nutrient source, either by purchasing from a livestock producer or by adding livestock to their operations. Determining the economic value of the nutrients in livestock manure can be tricky. Nutrients in commercial fertilizer are acquired by paying for the nutrients and a small application charge. Additionally, commercial fertilizer supplies the amount and ratio of nutrients you need or ordered. With manure you, in effect, “acquire” nutrients by paying for the cost of application, even if you already have ownership of the manure. With manure, you get the amount and ratio of nutrients that it contains, which complicates the determination of a value. Even when a rate that supplies the correct amount of nitrogen is applied, the amount of phosphorous and potash applied may not match what you would have purchased commercially, and amounts applied above crop need probably have no value. In the past, manure application costs often exceeded the value of the nutrients applied. Now, in many situations, the nutrient value in the manure exceeds the cost of application. Maximizing the value of manure first requires understanding how economic value is gained from manure. In most cases the greatest contribution comes from the value of commercial fertilizer that manure would replace in the crop year after application. In some situations, another opportunity can come from second year credits, particularly with low fertility fields. Increased crop yield is another possible source of value created from manure application. Where it is realized, that value has increased in the past year with higher crop prices. Finally, net value can be maximized by avoiding over-application. Over-application beyond what the crop needs, or beyond what commercial fertilizer the crop producer

Dean Foods, DFA ‘squarely in sights’ of antitrust suits ative, Dairy Farmers of America, were squarely in their sights.” Three lawsuits alleging antitrust activities by Dean Foods were under way at the same time, Natzke said, and are in various stages of being resolved. In a class-action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court of Vermont on behalf of dairy farmers in 11 states, Dean reached a $30 million settlement. The deadline for dairy farmers to submit claims and gain a portion of that settlement, after $6 million in attorney costs, was Aug. 23. In a case filed in a Wisconsin U.S. District Court, one provision of an out-of-court settlement called for Dean to sell a fluid milk processing plant in Waukesha, Wis. Dean purchased the plant from Foremost Farms in 2009. In an announcement earlier this month, OpenGate Capital, a global private equity firm, signed a definitive agreement to acquire the Dean’s plant and related assets, including the Golden Guernsey brand name. Resolution of another class-action lawsuit, filed in the Eastern District of Tennessee, remains less clear, Natzke said. Dean originally agreed to a $140 million settlement with dairy farmers in the southeastern region of the United States. After that settlement was announced however, members of Dairy Farmers of America, who make up well over a third of the dairy farmers in that part of the country, were exempted as members of the “class,” because the DFA is a co-defendant in the lawsuit. As a result, Dean vacated the settlement, and is considering other options, Natzke said. A trial date has been set for Sept. 13. Dean Foods has admitted no wrongdoing in all three cases.

■ Finally, the Milk Producer’s Council’s Rob Vandenheuvel reminded his members in his Aug. 19 newsletter that Oct. 1 marks the start of a new fiscal year for the Milk Income Loss Contract program. He wrote that, while efforts are under way to reform and improve dairy farm “safety nets as it stands now, the MILC and the Dairy Price Support programs continue to be our main safety nets.” While there is no indication that the milk price will be low enough to trigger an MILC payment in the near future, he said that, “given the volatility in dairy markets, we simply don’t know whether the program will trigger in for any of the months between Oct. 1, 2011, and Sept. 30, 2012.” The MILC program limits the payments made under the program to 2.985 million pounds, which is only about three months worth of production for a 500-cow dairy producing 65 pounds per head per day. Larger dairies may only be collecting payments for weeks or months, he said, so it’s important to choose months with the highest payment rates in order to maximize the amount received under the program. “Do the math and check with your banker,” he said. “You have until Sept. 14 to make changes.” Contact your local Farm Services Agency office for complete details. ••• Lee Mielke is a syndicated columnist who resides in Everson, Wash.

MIELKE, from pg. 6B ■ Looking abroad, milk production in Europe continues to decline seasonally, although overall volume is running heavier than last year at this time. Some traders and handlers are reporting that, although it is the summer holiday season and Ramadan is ongoing, sales activity is more active than anticipated. Sales, especially to the Middle East, are being reported, according to the USDA. Traders report that international interest might be resuming as buyers feel that European prices for some products might be at the bottom and product is available for immediate and future shipment. Much of current demand is to fill fourth quarter needs. The winter season continues in New Zealand as cold temperatures and heavy snowfall blanketed areas of the North Island and much of the South Island. Auckland received snow for the first time in many years. The question that milk producers and handlers were asking is how long the snow will remain on the ground and what impact will this have on early season grass growth and the start of the new milk production season. Conditions are much the same as they have been for the current winter season in Australia. Wet conditions in some dairy regions of Victoria continue to concern producers and handlers. Elsewhere within Victoria, temperatures start to warm, but then a cold snap arrived to quickly curtail an early arrival of spring. Although there are negative conditions in both New Zealand and Australia that potentially will impact output, producers and handlers remain optimistic about the season. ■ The Cooperatives Working Together program accepted seven requests this week for export assistance from Darigold and Dairy Farmers of America to sell a total of 1.8 million pounds of Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese to customers in Asia, North Africa and the Middle East. The product will be delivered through December and raised CWT’s 2011 cheese exports to 63 million pounds. ■ The California Department of Food and Agriculture announced that it will amend its 4a and 4b milk pricing formulas. The changes follow hearings held June 30 and July 1. The 25-cent-per-hundredweight whey factor will be replaced with a sliding scale that floors the whey factor at 25 cents and caps it at 65 cents. Make allowances for butter and nonfat dry milk were increased. Cheese was unchanged. The Daily Dairy Report said, “Had these changes been in effect from May 2006 to April 2011, the fiveyear average price of Class 4a, 3 and 2 would have been 16 cents per hundredweight lower and the 4b would have been 15 cents higher.” The new formulas are effective on September milk. ■ In dairy politics, Dairy Profit Weekly editor Dave Natzke reported in Friday’s DairyLine that “one point of emphasis of the Obama administration was targeting antitrust activities, and the largest U.S. milk processor, Dean Foods, and largest dairy cooper-
