Already deeply engaged in a bloody war, a young, untested president — whose thin resume noted but a handful of undistinguished terms in the Illinois General Assembly and a brief stint in Congress — did not hesitate when Congress delivered legislation that might spark a new beginning for a tiring nation.

FARM & FOOD FILE When Abraham Lincoln

By Alan Guebert signed the Homestead Act of 1862 he sent a clear signal to all Americans that he believed the Union would endure and it would stride toward its greater destiny with a new element of freedom — land.

Lincoln, of course, was right. The Homestead Act became one of America’s most enlightened — and to Native Americans, most damnable — moves: 1.5 billion acres owned by the federal government would be offered to nearly anyone for the taking, a fabulously radical idea in a world still mostly owned by nobles and aristocrats.

Next year marks the Homestead Act’s 150th anniversary and plans are under way for a year’s worth of activities at the National Park’s Service’s Homestead National Monument of America, 40 miles south of Lincoln, Neb. (www.nps.gov/home/index.htm) “Many of the events that shape 100 years of American history had their beginnings in the Homestead Act,” said Mark Engler, superintendent of the site.

Some, such as the Land Grant university system and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, remain key parts of American society today, he adds.

All were an extension of Thomas Jefferson’s yeoman-farmer ideal for the nation. Two generations after his buy-now, tell-Congress-later purchase of the Louisiana Territory and 36 years after his death the ideal reached its zenith: anyone 21 years old — including single, unmarried women — was entitled to 160 acres of America.

Commentary: Market competition good for consumers, farmers In June 2010, the U.S. government provided some simple clarifications to the law that governs the relationship between livestock producers and the meatpackers and processors who buy their animals. The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration rule would help to ensure fairness for individual producers and restore competition to agricultural markets.

It protects the basic rights of family farmers. The rule prevents packers and processors from driving farmers and ranchers out of business one at a time, and it protects producers who speak out against unfair business practices. Farmers, ranchers and consumers overwhelmingly support the rule, as do the two largest general farm organizations in the country (National Farmers Union being one of them).

What does this mean to you, the consumer? One

recent example is the salmonella outbreak in eggs that occurred in 2010.

Those eggs were marketed under at least 16 different brands that all originated from two factory farms owned by the same individual. If packers and processors successfully kill the GIPSA rule, you can look forward to more production being concentrated in the hands of a few mega-farms and the increased possibility that you may someday be eating tainted food from the same farm as schoolchildren in California or a family in Maine.

I leave it to you to decide who to believe: the largest meatpackers in the country, who made billions in profits last year, or two million American family farmers and ranchers?

••• This commentary was submitted by Doug Peterson, Minnesota Farmers Union president.

OPINION

The National Pork Board has added two new vice presidents, Bill Winkelman and Jill Criss, to the Pork Checkoff management team. Winkelman is the new vice president of producer and industry relations. Criss becomes vice president of operations and human resources.

Winkelman will lead the Checkoff staff members who connect directly with producers and with others in the pork industry. He and his group work to deliver to U.S. pork producers the services and programs they support through the Pork Checkoff.

Those include research results, educational, training and certification programs.

Winkelman grew up in north-central Iowa on a diversified farm and is a graduate of Iowa State University. After working in public accounting for three years, he joined Pioneer Hi-bred, where he spent 15 years in various roles with international finance. He lived in Europe for three years while serving as the finance director for European operations. He spent three years as chief financial officer for the National Pork Board before joining the western operation of Murphy-Brown in 2004 as the director of analysis and reporting.

Criss has been the National Pork Board’s director of human resources the past eight years. She will continue to oversee day-to-day organizational operations including legal issues, records retention, National Pork Board contract oversight, Freedom of Information Act requests and internal organizational structure.

Additionally, she directs all human resource and organizational effectiveness initiatives in support of the strategic plan.

A graduate of the University of Northern Iowa, Criss has worked in human resources for Bridgestone/Firestone and Iowa State University. She also has owned her own human resources consulting firm.

end, eating more fruits and vegetables, regardless of whether they’re organic, is what’s really important.

“I think it’s just the perception that it’s better. It may be, but all people cannot afford to buy everything organic. We still want you to eat a well-balanced diet and if it’s not organic it can still be nutritious for you to consume,” she said.

Catherine Stack, a doctor of naturopathy and certified nurse midwife in Niagara Falls, N.Y., agrees. “Organic is important to me, but getting people to eat healthy in the first place is the first step.”

Stack does say, however, that eating organically is the healthier option.

“If we took hormones in abundance, we’d have larger breasts and more body fat. What we’ve seen across the board is young girls with benign breast tumors and we feel that there’s a link between the hormones in milk, poultry and beef,” Stack said.

The USDA stopped just short of saying organic is better for the human body in a recent interview. Soo Kim, of the USDA, says that organic practices are important for the health of soil, plants and animals and that it pro-

Apples, celery and strawberries top the list, followed by peaches, spinach, nectarines, grapes, sweet bell peppers, potatoes, blueberries, lettuce and kale/collard greens.

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

“Organic” has long been one of those buzzwords floating around healthand food-conscious communities. Most grocery stores devote at least an aisle — if not several — to organic foods.

Restaurants and bakeries are even making a point to use chemical-free ingredients.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture sets the rules and certifies whether a farm or facility is officially producing organic foods — and the rules are specific.

According to a statement on the USDA website, “organic is a labeling term that indicates that the food or other agricultural product has been produced through approved methods that integrate cultural, biological and mechanical practices that foster cycling of resources, promote ecological balance and conserve biodiversity.

Synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation and genetic engineering may not be used.”

There’s a natural assumption that organic means healthy, and why not?

Pesticides, hormones and antibiotics just don’t seem like the sort of things one wants to pump into their body, if not necessary.

The fact is, though, not a lot of studies actually confirm that people who eat organic food are more healthy than those who don’t.

Naheed Ali-Sayeed, chief clinical dietitian at Kenmore Mercy Hospital in Tonawanda, N.Y., said the articles she’s read are not scientific based.

Commentary: It’s wise to have a will, foolish not to

By DON McNAY CNHI News Service I’ve spent my adult life advising people about their money.

I’m knowledgeable about trusts and estate planning and have strong working relationships with experts in both fields.

I should be the last person to be involved in an estate-planning nightmare. But I was when my mother and sister died.

Mom died unexpectedly in 2006.

She never had a will, and no one worried about it. Her only asset was our childhood home, and my sister and I were her only children. We would split the ownership of the house equally.

Things got a lot more complicated after Mom’s death.

My sister was living in the house when Mom died. My sister was coming off a period of unemployment as a single mother. She didn’t even have a bank account. My sister and I worked out a deal on how to divide mom’s assets.

We never wrote anything down, but we trusted each other, and it seemed like a good plan. And it was — until my sister died six months after mom

did. She did not have a will, either.

I knew she had a minor daughter and an adult son. What I didn’t know was that she still had a husband.

She had been married for several years, and her younger child was his.

However, she had told us she had divorced several years earlier. They didn’t live together. She had lived in California and he had lived in Cincinnati.

Her ex came to her funeral, which I had arranged and paid for, but we didn’t really talk.

Two days later, he had a lawyer file papers asking that he be named the estate administrator.

It turned out my sister and her husband never filed for divorce. Thus, he was entitled to half of my sister’s estate.

Since Mom’s estate had not settled, it also meant that her estranged husband and his lawyer suddenly became involved in decisions regarding my mother’s estate. Also, my niece was a minor, and a guardian ad litem had to be appointed to protect her interest.

The guardian ad litem also had to sign

off on decisions about Mom’s estate.

It was a tedious and expensive mess.

The only solution was to put my childhood home on the market. I advanced a chunk of money to get it fixed for sale. Since the real estate market was dropping, the house was slow to sell, and every time we wanted to change the price, it had to go through the round of lawyers and interested parties.

It caused a riff in the family over little money. By the time the lawyers and expenses were paid, my share of my mother’s estate was a small sum and my sister’s estate received the same. I ate some expenditures and lost money on the overall process.

The person who got the most money from my mother’s estate was my former brother-in-law. My sister’s estate received half of Mom’s money, and he received half of my sister’s estate.

My mother doted on her grandchildren, especially my sister’s children, who had lived with her for part of their childhoods. She would not have wanted my brother-in-law to get money instead of her grandchildren.

Preventing that from happening would have been easy and inexpensive.

My family’s series of events was unusual, but unusual things happen every day.

Involving a lawyer would have solved most of the problems. If my sister and my mother had had simple wills, the money would have gone to the right people. If my sister had actually gotten divorced instead of working out an informal agreement, it would have prevented our post-funeral surprise.

I suspect people don’t have wills because they don’t want to think about death. According to a survey by Findlaw.com, a popular legal website, more than 60 percent of Americans don’t have wills.

People may think that wills and attorneys are expensive. In the overall scheme of things, they really aren’t. I gladly would have paid 10 times the average cost for my mother and sister to have had wills. And everyone (except for my brother-in-law and the attorneys) would have come out way ahead.

Oct. 2-8 is National 4-H Week. 4-H youth, volunteers and other supporters throughout Minnesota will be celebrating how 4-H is making a difference in their lives

If you aren’t familiar with 4-H in your area, I encourage you to find out about it. Start by logging on to www.extension.umn.edu/youth/mn4-H. You’ll discover a youth development program that offers learning opportunities in science and technology, creative arts, leadership and much more.

As a shy child scared of cows grazing in my own yard, no one would have guessed the path I would take in life. That is because the friends, family time and lessons I learned in 4-H shaped me into the person I am today.

My grandpa instilled a love of agriculture in me at a young age. Following him around the barn helping with daily chores, I learned early on what it meant to be dedicated to something — to find something that you are passionate about and succeed at doing it.

As I grew, 4-H volunteers and projects helped me find my niche and focus on my strengths. I developed a love of leadership, planning and, oddly enough, public speaking, all while becoming more confident.

My favorite 4-H projects involved livestock. While caring for my animals, I learned dedication, hard work, responsibility and determination. I also learned about financial management, how to deal with situations when things don’t go as planned and how to deal with life and death — important lessons that can’t be learned in a classroom.

I studied veterinary medicine at the University of Minnesota, which I had been introduced to through 4-H. Looking for ways to stay involved in 4-H, I joined the livestock judging team and took an internship coordinating 4-H livestock shows at the Minnesota State Fair. Through these experiences, I discovered new ways to be involved in the agriculture industry, and decided to explore agricultural business.

Grace Klein operates the hand-powered sewing machine her grandparents brought with them from The Netherlands in 1913.

By RENAE B. VANDER SCHAAF The Land Correspondent SIOUX CENTER, Iowa — Corn ears drying on racks and a wagon filled with fall vegetables that were a staple in early pioneering living greeted hundreds of visitors to Sioux Center, Iowa’s, Harvest Festival Sept. 16 and 17.

“Friday is our big day,” said Larry Te Grotenhuis, chairman of the Heritage Board. “This year 750 students from 18 schools in northwest Iowa and southern Minnesota and home school students visited on Friday. On Saturday, we see more of the community in attendance, especially as many of these students are anxious to share the fun with their parents.”

Volunteers bring history to life for these students and others who truly enjoyed the step back in time. That is exactly what Te Grotenhuis wants to have happen.

“The purpose of the Harvest Festival is to make available a historical, educational opportunity,” he said. “We want to bring to life the history of this area. So that these students can get a

glimpse of the hardships their ancestors had to endure and what they had to do just to live.”

Grace Klein of Sioux Center brings to life the sewing machine that her grandparents brought with them from The Netherlands in 1913. Her mother’s baby clothes were sewn with it. The power for the machine is supplied by Klein’s right hand as she demonstrates how pioneer women would take scraps of material and sew them into quilts that were needed on the cold winter nights. She uses a nine-square block pattern for the quilt.

Denny Hoekstra and Syne Wynia, both of rural Sioux County, said they had shelled a lot of corn in their lives.

Together they showed festival visitors the work that was a regular endeavor on practically every farm.

Shelling corn at the festival occurred at regular intervals both days of the festival. Wynia owns the 1920s JD corn sheller that was used. When he bought it 15 years ago, it was in great disrepair.

That day he took a great deal of pride in sharing knowledge with the students and others who visited the Harvest Festival.

Andrew Van Grouw, fourth grader from the Orange City Christian School, really appreciated the work that Fedders and Wynia did.

“My favorite thing was the blacksmith shop because the flames, metal tools and hammers were so cool,” Van Grouw said. “I also liked how they could make rope just by turning the crank. I like the sawmill because it makes wood and has a huge blade.”

Plans are already being made to increase the historical displays for next year. Smaller gas engines were added this year and Te Grotenhuis hopes that increases next year. He also wants to see more in the culinary area. A big project the Heritage Village has undertaken is to create a general store just as it was in early Sioux Center.

“History doesn’t have to be boring,” Te Grotenhuis said.

HISTORY, from pg. 14A “I bought it because it was old,” he said. Wynia, who owns other older antique machinery, restored it to like-new condition. He enjoys demonstrating at the festival as he said the youth really like seeing this older machinery in action.

Gary Vander Hart of Sioux Center can make music out of anything, or so it seemed to Erika Schenk, age 10, of Sioux Center. “One of the instruments he played was a wash tub that used a broom stick and sheep intestine,” Schenk said. “Amazing!”

“That was called a cheap man’s base violin,” Vander Hart said. He has been displaying his collection of folk instruments for the last five years at the Heritage Village. His skillful fingers bring beautiful music to life on the 15 different instruments that he brought that day. Vander Hart also handcrafted many of them.

“The most unusual one I have is the corn stalk fiddle,” he said. “Music was important on the prairie, they learned to make their own instruments using what material they had available.” He demonstrated an Aeolian harp with a fan, but normally the wind harp would be placed in a window or hung outdoors in a tree.

For 12 years now Colleen Van Berkum of Sioux Center has been cooking over the open fires. On the first day of the festival she was preparing ham and potatoes, beans and bread in her cast iron pans to complement cabbage, apple dessert and egg coffee.

This normal early settler meal she served to the Heritage Board and Threshermen Association that night for supper.

“The egg coffee is something I learned from the older women who would visit and reminisce,” she said. “The grounds are just thrown into the pot with a beaten egg, the coffee can set on the back of the

This thing is so diverse in its geography, spreading all the way from North Dakota to southern Minnesota. It’s just a wide open scenario.

And where there was also hail and/or insect damage there likely will be some mold and aflatoxin issues also.

— Dave Amundson

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

“The guy called me and asked ‘Can you test this?’ I told him that we could run it through our wet chemistry lab and see what the energy numbers were. The point being that with $7 corn, people are looking for other sources of energy or asking themselves ‘do I feed corn, or don’t I feed corn?’”

The majority of lab work by Stearns DHIA is dairy related. Their lab has a “chipper-shredder” machine which quickly gives moisture readings on corn stalks brought in from the field.

Amundson said that ears on these stalks brought in this fall are much smaller than last season. Also alfalfa tonnage and quality is suffering the same consequences. “There weren’t any five cuts this year; many settled for only three alfalfa harvests but thanks to a couple weeks of September sunshine some fourth cutting alfalfa turned out respectably good.”

Stearns DHIA also tests manure for nutrient quality and he suspects that with poorer quality feed crops this fall there will be even more interest in testing nutrient values of manure.

“Because they’re likely going to spend more money buying feed stuffs, they want to know even more the nutrient value of the manure they are spreading back on their fields because that directly equates to whether they have to buy more or less commercial fertilizer.”

Looking at all the complications of this difficult cropping season, Amundson said, “It’s a Catch 22 situation and it’s not a good situation for anybody.”

Amundson was interviewed at the recent Minnesota Nutrition Conference in Owatonna, Minn.

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer With combines now rolling, the big question is what’s the quality of the 2011 harvest?

The Sept. 15 frost which slithered across much of Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota only exacerbated the issue. Most observers are already suggesting this could be a repeat of the 2009 harvest when wet corn, low test weight corn, mycotoxin-infested corn and other quality issues were challenging both farmers and elevators.

“Some of these fields never matured.

I know we’ll be seeing 47-pound test weights, maybe even lower and soybean fields that may not even be worth harvesting,” said Dave Amundson, sales-customer service technician for Stearns DHIA Laboratories in Sauk Centre, Minn. “Leave some of this stuff for late-winter, early spring combining and who knows what you’ll find out there.”

He said they already are getting an inordinate number of phone calls, emails and visits by farmers and feed processors about quality issues of the 2011 crop. “This thing is so diverse in its geography, spreading all the way from North Dakota to southern Minnesota. It’s just a wide open scenario.

And where there was also hail and/or insect damage there likely will be some mold and aflatoxin issues also.”

Nutrient value will be the big question on corn this year simply because so much of the crop didn’t reach black layer prior to that Sept. 15 frost. “We’re getting lots of corn samples brought to the lab by growers and grain handlers who simply are concerned about the feed value of that corn. Protein values aren’t likely to be affected but certainly carbohydrate (energy) content will be decreased, sometimes dramatically because of the low test weight,” Amundson said.

Relating to the ethanol industry he said his laboratories are getting “a lot of what I call strange byproducts from some of these processing facilities, especially the ethanol industry. Many of these byproducts were simply discarded but now people are really trying to find out what value some of these products might have. There are some weird things coming in. We just received a tofu byproduct.

Peterson: Farm technology, management improving

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Moderating a morning session of the Sept. 20-21 Minnesota Nutrition Conference, Minnesota Corn Growers Association Director Bruce Peterson said, “We believe in the power of research.”

Topics for the morning agenda were the future of corn production in the Upper Midwest, obtaining optimum utilization of dried distillers grains in feedlot diets, corn silage fiber digestibility and use of corn co-products in swine diets.

“With a challenge of producing 70 percent more food production by 2050 and doing this on less arable land, less water and perhaps less fertilizer, we’ve simply got to embrace technology. We need more answers on how to produce more per acre,” he said.

Peterson noted the ongoing changes within the ethanol processing industry and how that, in turn, presents some new co-products as feedstuffs for the livestock industry. “These changes affect our operation personally since we finish out several thousand hogs each year, plus we grow corn and we’re shareholders in an area ethanol plant. So we’re in the full cycle of corn production, corn processing and corn feeding.”

His operation near Northfield, Minn., currently utilizes DDGS at the 30 percent level in their swine finishing ration but based on reports shared at this nutrition conference he’s wondering about higher DDG levels both in finishing and especially for the gestation/lactation periods of the sow operation

Whether it be a dairy farmer, a cattle feeder, or a hog producer, we’re all just a bit better than we used to be.

Bruce Peterson that provides his feeder pigs.

Peterson said the addition of phytase into the DDGS feedstuffs has increased the digestibility of the phosphorous ingredient. “We’re seeing a reduced level of phosphorous in the hog manure. From an agronomic viewpoint I wouldn’t mind seeing a little more phosphorous in the manure, but from an environmental and water quality issue it’s important. So this higher conversion of phosphorous in our swine diets is significant.”

Because of the improved genetics in the swine world, market weights of 275-plus pounds are fairly routine these days. “That somewhat depends upon the packer buyer of your products,” he said, “but there’s no doubt hogs are finishing leaner and heavier than just a few years back. We market to Hormel and finish to their ‘red box’ criteria but some packers do permit a wider range.

“Reflecting on my 4-H and FFA years in the late’70s, if you had a 280-pound pig it certainly didn’t have the muscular structure and lean backfat of today’s hogs. Today’s genetics play a big role.”

That’s verified in better birth weights, bigger

weaning numbers per sow, more pigs farrowed per sow and significantly better feed efficiency and daily gains. “Granted that all counts,” Peterson said, “but management also has come along big time. Whether it be a dairy farmer, a cattle feeder, or a hog producer we’re all just a bit better than we used to be.

“We’ve learned a lot over the past few years how to adopt DDGS into our feeding programs. And at this year’s conference we’re also learning more about the additional co-products of ethanol refining and how these change the composition of the DDGS. It’s an ongoing learning curve that hopefully presents more opportunities to save on feed costs as we learn how to incorporate some of these new ingredients into our rations.”

With recent drops in the hog market some of those “black ink” margins were getting squeezed once again. Peterson noted the price of corn also dropping so there’s been some realignment of the profit picture for producing pork.

Reflecting on the financial challenges of the past three to four years, he doubts the recent profitability will generate any significant expansion of hog numbers. “Running a farrowing facility is somewhat like running a small factory. You’ve got a certain amount of overhead expense whether you are at full capacity, or something less. We may not be seeing new hog finishing barns being built for awhile, but going forward there’s still going to be a strong demand for pork, if not domestically, then certainly in other parts of the world where people are seeing better incomes and wanting to eat better.

“I think there’s big potential for world demand for meat to keep increasing. We’re a protein-hungry world and meat products can help fill that demand.

We’re exporting around 25 percent of our U.S. pork production. I know the Asian markets — particularly Japan, Korea and China — are key customers for U.S. pork. China is still the No.1 pork producing country in the world but they can’t meet their own demand anymore.”

Peterson said ethanol gets an unfair rap from those people who don’t think a feed grain should be used to provide fuel. “But these folks don’t know, or don’t care to acknowledge, that a huge portion of that corn going into the ethanol market also provides feedstuffs for the U.S. livestock industry.

“On a per-weight basis, about one-third of all that corn going to ethanol mills comes back to the farms as feed products for livestock. And that, in turn, then displaces millions of bushels of corn that would otherwise be fed directly into the livestock industry. So when you include the tonnage of DDGS feed usage is still easily the No. 1 usage for corn.”

Finishing barns are on a 19-week turn in their operation, somewhat depending upon both farrowing and finishing schedules within the various barns.

But weather and growth rates are also problematic at times. That means seven to 10 days are typical for clean-out time before barns are refilled.

Four families make a full-time living off the Peterson hog and crop farming operations. They’re running about 6,000 acres with about three-fourths of those acres now growing corn as a hedge against higher feed costs.

The Pork Checkoff announces the release of a new software tool for pork producers — the Live Swine Carbon Footprint Calculator. Developed with the technical expertise of the University of Arkansas’ Applied Sustainability Center, the user-friendly application allows producers to input their on-farm data from the sow or grow-finish side of production to compute the carbon footprint of an entire barn of pigs from breeding to market.

Roy Henry, a pork producer from Longford, Kan., and member of the National Pork Board, said, “America’s pork producers are among the most environmentally and socially responsiIt drives home ble food producers in how we, as prothe world.

National Pork Board President Everett Forkner, a producer from Richards, Mo., sees the new tool as a breakthrough. “It’s a great day for everyone on and off the farm when we can bring a new tool such as this to U.S. producers,” Forkner said. “It reflects producers’ ongoing dedication to invest in new tools that help improve upon their long history of protecting the environment.”

Randy Spronk, a producer from Edgerton, Minn., who serves on the Checkoff’s environmental committee, was one of the first to test the carbon footprint calculator. He was impressed by its ease of use and straightforward output.

“With your production data available to enter into the calculator, it only takes a few minutes to determine your barn’s carbon footprint and to visually see what the biggest contributors to it are,” Spronk said.

“From there, you can begin thinking how you might make changes to increase on-farm efficiencies and reduce your baseline footprint.”

Spronk said the tool clearly shows how inputs, such as feed, energy use, manure and pig performance, are all related to the carbon footprint of a barn.

“It’s an eye-opener to see how this all interrelates,” Spronk said. “It drives home how we, as producers

from operations of all sizes, can continue to take additional steps to be environmentally, socially and economically sustainable.”

Study: Fewer squabbles with group farrowing

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer If you surmise that piglets emerging into the world in deeply bedded group-farrowing pens are more “docile” than piglets that are confinement born in a farrowing crate — you surmise correctly. And they pretty much remain less agonistic in later life, even when mixed with young pigs that started in the farrowing crate environment.

Reporting at the Sept. 20-21 Minnesota Nutrition Conference in Owatonna, behavioral scientist Yuzhi Li with the West Central Research and Outreach Center, at Morris, Minn., reported on her study of “social interaction” of pigs comparing the two farrowing systems.

“Pigs started in group farrowing were less aggressive when mingled into larger groups in the grow-finish barn. We had a total of 216 pigs, 108 group farrowed and 108 crate farrowed. The pigs from crate farrowing were less sociable when weaned (five weeks) and that lesser social ability continued throughout the finishing period,” Li said.

The pigs from crate farrowing were less sociable when weaned ...

— Yuzhi Li Aggressive interactions among pigs in each of the previous housing systems were video-recorded immediately after mixing for 24 hours. The videos were viewed continuously to register all fighting events, including duration and frequency of fighting among familiar and unfamiliar pigs. Fighting occurred at feeders, drinkers and open areas of a pen.

Her data showed that approximately 95 percent of the fights occurred among unfamiliar pigs, with 65 percent, 30 percent and 5 percent of total fights being observed in open areas, at feeders and at drinkers, respectively, regardless of previous housing system.

“These results suggest that pigs reared in the group-farrowing system maintained the ability to discriminate between pen mates and non-pen mates, and were more tolerant of unfamiliar pigs when mixed in small groups compared to pigs reared in the confinement system,” Li said.

DDG nutrient content a greater concern this year There’s always variation in feedstuffs but extra effort may be needed to manage around the variables of feed quality this fall.

lab analysis to find out exactly what you have. The variation will be widespread; hopefully there are enough good spots in these fields to balance out the problem areas. But sampling this year becomes even more critical because of these extremes.

“You just can’t go out there and grab a couple samples and expect that to fairly represent the real world. That’s particularly critical when testing for mycotoxins. So multiple sampling using good procedures will be vital and that means sub-sampling and blending to get a true measure.”

With sow lactation diets he’s perfectly OK with DDGs now making up 30 percent, or even more, of the total ration. But if mycotoxins are an issue, then careful screening including an effective binder and reducing the DDG portion is advisable.

In finishing rations it used to be a stretch to talk 20 percent DDGs in the diet. “But today nobody even blinks their eye at 30 percent levels, even 40 percent and higher,” Johnston said, “depending upon the economics of that total ration formulation. That’s start-

uct from. The product may carry the same label from each plant but the nutrient content often differs.

“Perhaps it’s good to work with feed companies to get their data on digestible amino acid contents, fat content and other key ingredients for various DDGS providers. As a livestock producer, your primary goal with any feedstuffs is to get the best value out of that product.”

Johnston is concerned about potential issues with grain quality this fall.

“There’s always variation in feedstuffs but extra effort may be needed to manage around the variables of feed quality this fall. As we get into harvest, farmers will be seeing tremendous variation even within the same field.

So the first issue I’d be concerned about is what’s the mycotoxin load going to be. Will we get a good, dry quick harvest or will it be a wet, drawn-out harvest which simply opens the door to more quality issues?

“We will be concerned about the nutrient value in terms of protein quality, amino acid quality and content. It likely means a great amount of

ing to stretch the envelope because of impact on fat quality.”

Johnston indicated research to date shows high DDG levels don’t impact taste, marbling or color. “But our concern is with the firmness of the fat.

Get really high distillers levels, you get softer fat. The more distillers we put in after reaching that 20 percent level, it’s a straight line increase in softer fat. Some packers are raising some concerns about this issue.”

So what to do to firm up that pork fat on high distillers diets? Lessen the DDG content in the ration in late finishing stage (three to four weeks) is the more practical. But producers hesitate to make that move because it lessens the economic advantage. His suggestion would be that if you’re in that 35 to 40 percent DDG of total ration, drop down to 20 percent for those last three to four weeks of that finishing period. He indicated different ethanol plants could offer DDG of lower fat content because they are fractionating some of that extra corn oil out of the kernel.

“What you are trying to do is reduce the unsaturated fat content (corn oil) in the late finishing period,” Johnston said. “There are some other products such as CLA that improve fat firmness; even crude glycerol might improve fat firmness. So there are some tools to work with on managing this fat firmness. Reducing iodine values of carcass fat is the objective.”

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer With 29 presenters covering nutritional issues of all livestock species, including horses, the Sept. 20-21 Minnesota Nutrition Conference, presented by the University of Minnesota Department of Animal Science and the Minnesota Extension Service, did indeed touch many bases.

Speakers from across North America shared their latest concepts on livestock feeding to an audience of feed industry professionals. The growing role of dried distillers grain feedstuffs, with questions about the digestibility of co-products of the ethanol industry, captured lots of attention.

Perhaps complicating nutrition issues this fall are growing concerns about the variability of feed quality. Is the nutrient quality of DDG feeds changing over time as ethanol processors capture more of the various ingredients of that kernel of corn?

“Yes, it’s changing over time because ethanol plants are now extracting different fractions from the corn,” said Lee Johnston, research nutritionist at West Central Research and Outreach Center at Morris, Minn. He indicated it’s incumbent upon the producer to know what product he is feeding.

“A DDG is not necessarily a DDG,” Johnston said. “These values differ from ethanol plant to ethanol plant, so best procedure is to get nutrient analyses from each plant that you buy prod-

Stein: Up to 50 percent DDGS in swine rations OK High ratio only for growing pigs, gestating sows; 30 percent max for others

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Perhaps greatly driven by increasing efforts to reduce feed costs, dried distillers grains with solubles definitely keep increasing in swine rations.

Because pigs are forgiving animals that perform well on many different feed combinations, challenges for nutritionists are to identify co-products from the corn processing industry that most economically meet the nutritional and energetic needs of swine.

The above comments by Hans Stein, a Danish swine nutritionist now at the University of Illinois, were among several “take home” points he presented at the Sept. 20-21 Minnesota Nutrition Conference in Owatonna.

With considerable interest and emphasis on the “energy content” of

... it’s OK to be aggressive with DDGS in swine rations if it’s economical. Based on today’s pricing, 30 percent DDGS in the ration equates to $10 more profit per pig.

— Hans Stein feedstuffs, he pointed out that energy is not a nutrient.

When talking corn co-products fed to swine he listed six classes of nutrients: protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, lipids and water.

“During the production of ethanol, sugars and most of the starch are fermented but not the protein, lipids, fiber and the ash in corn,” Stein said.

“These nutrients are instead left in the co-products. The part of the corn ker-

nel that is not fermented is often partially dehydrated via centrifugation and then split into a distilled grains fraction and a soluble fraction.”

Dried distillers grains and DDGS contain 9 percent to 14 percent crude fat and between 25 and 30 percent crude protein. Stein pointed out, however, that a major challenge in feeding DDGS is that it may result in soft belly and back fat, so reducing the level of DDGS during the final three to four weeks prior to slaughter should be considered. If the fat concentration in DDGS is less than 9 percent, the energy value will be reduced which reduces product value.

Other co-products include high protein distillers drain grain (40 to 42 percent protein), corn germ and corn gluten meal. In diets fed to growing pigs, at least 40 percent high protein DDG can be used and in diets to finishing pigs, high protein DDG may replace all the soybean meal. Also at least 30 percent corn germ in diets can be fed to growing-finishing pigs without impacting performance, and corn germ may be included with the addition of DDGS. Stein pointed out that DDGS may be included in diets fed to all groups of

pigs and energy values of the diets will not change, but reductions in dicalcium phosphate or monocalcium phosphate may be reduced because of the high concentrations of digestible phosphorous in DDGS. Among Stein’s observations: • DDGS may be up to 30 percent of diets of all pigs. However for growing pigs and gestating sows’ diets of 45 to 50 percent DDGS respectively can be fed without major changes in animal performance.

• DDGS contains 0.7 to 0.9 percent phosphorus, which has high digestibility.

• High protein DDG may be included in diets fed to growing pigs by at least 40 percent and may replace all the soybean meal.

• Corn gluten meal is a high-protein ingredient with high digestibility but synthetic amino acids (lysine and tryptophan) are recommended.

• Feed efficiency may be reduced if corn gluten feed or corn germ meal is used because of the low concentration of metabolizable energy in these ingredients.

“Take the oil out of DDGS and you have less energy. So increasing the digestibility of these fibers is the issue facing nutritionists,” Stein said. “Phytase, for example, increases the digestibility of phosphorous in corn but has little increase when added to DDGS. However it’s OK to be aggressive with DDGS in swine rations if it’s economical. Based on today’s pricing, 30 percent DDGS in the ration equates to $10 more profit per pig.”

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

By BRIAN OJANPA Mankato Free Press ST. PETER, Minn. — An area farmer has reported that 150 pigs valued at more than $30,000 have been stolen from barns near Lafayette.

Nicollet County authorities said Ryan Bode reported the theft on Sept. 16 after recently removing all market-size pigs from four large barns. He realized the pigs were missing after doing a count.

“It’s an odd deal, something you don’t see very often,” Nicollet County Sheriff ’s Office investigator Marc Chadderdon said of the apparent rustling.

All that is known about the time of the theft is that it happened sometime in the past month. It is not known whether the pigs were all stolen at once.

Chadderdon said a cattle semi can accommodate 180 market-size (250 pounds) animals.

He said the thieves may have covertly gained knowledge of the hog production operation last month.

He said on Aug. 14 the Sheriff’s Office took a report of criminal damage and entry to a barn on the site.

At the time, the pigs within weighed about 100 pounds and none were taken.

“These guys obviously were going out and doing some reconnaissance ahead of time,” Chadderdon said. The farm’s owner does not live on the site.

According to a Sept. 27 Minneapolis StarTribune story, 594 hogs worth more than $100,000 were stolen from a farm in Kandiyohi County in central Minnesota.

“The fat market today for corn oil, soybean oil, cotrication process, such as “de-oiling” the DDGs, the value of the remaining product for the monogastric ton seed oil, peanut oil and vegetable oils of any animal decreases. You end up with more of these kind is about 55-cents a pound,” he said. “And with higher fiber products from which the pig has a more world demand constantly increasing for these products, the price will drive it. So I think they will keep difficult time extracting value.

Does this suggest further processing of these DDG attempting to extract more value at the ethanol feedstuffs is a way to enhance their value? Brumm plant which means the livestock industry will need said it depends upon whether the improved perform- to keep adjusting to these variable nutrient values ance gains offset the costs of the additional process- of the DDG feedstuffs.”

He said that the feed business was started by ing; and do you increase digestibility enough to packing plants owning their own feed companies — make it worthwhile?

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Michael Brumm says that better understanding how to use the coproducts of ethanol manufacturing is a key challenge to the academic world, feed manufacturers and livestock producers in their ongoing battle to get more value out of each Mike Brumm dollar spent on feed.

Brumm, as a retired University of Nebraska livestock nutritionist who now operates North Mankato, Minn.,-based Brumm Swine Consultancy Inc., has a good idea what he’s talking about.

“Where we’re at today is how can we extract just a little bit more from every piece of fiber we feed,” he said. “And we don’t yet know these answers. Is it more process engineering by ethanol plants, more research by universities and feed companies, more genetic manipulation by seed geneticists? This much is obvious, however: with oil prices at $100 per barrel, ethanol plants make good money selling the ethanol. If oil prices come down, then ethanol plants

■ Agrotain International has launched a new website for one of its flagship agricultural products: Agrotain Plus. A triple-action product, Agrotain Plus is added to UAN before application, to protect nitrogen from losses caused by volatilization, leaching and denitrification. The N remains available for the plant leading to bigger yields and ultimately a better bottom line.

The www.AGROTAINPLUS.com allows growers to find out how Agrotain Plus controls against these types of losses. They can also view testimonials from other growers as well as retailers and university experts. The site also allows growers to request Agrotain Plus data specific to their

crops and growing conditions and practices. Also available is a value estimator, for corn and wheat, which allows growers to plug in their nitrogen cost along with the commodity price and average yield to figure out the net potential advantage that Agrotain Plus holds for their specific situation.

The site also features an easy-to-use tool for growers to find their local Agrotain sales representative as well as an “Ask the Experts” function that allows growers to submit questions about using Agrotain Plus.

■ Winter Cereals: Sustainability in Action launched the initiative’s website, www.wintercereals.us. Here producers can find out why winter wheat is good for their land and good for their operations, as well as get answers to many of their questions about growing the crop.

This website offers resources and information producers need to know about growing winter wheat. Visitors can read current news on the WCSIA program and get dates for upcoming events. Also on the site are seed guides, production guides and testimonials from winter wheat growers.

Research studies include winter wheat varieties, soils and fertilizers, diseases and fungicides, previous crops and crop rotations, over-winter survival and general agronomy experiments.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

By KEVIN SCHULZ The Land Editor Farmers do what they do because they love it, and most of them couldn’t see themselves doing anything else.

Outside forces often take some of the shine off of their profession, but sometimes it takes an outsider to tell you just how good you have it and to give you a pat on the back.

The Minnesota Pork Board and the Pork Checkoff is providing pork producers with a Workforce Development Seminar — Swine Farms, A Great Place to Work — to reinforce the job that producers do. The sixth annual WDS is slated for 8:30 a.m.4:30 p.m. Oct. 18 at the Country Inn & Suites in Mankato, Minn.

“This is designed to provide valuable training for producers, managers, herdsmen, anyone in the production cycle,” said Jeremy Geske, This is designed Minnesota Pork to provide valuBoard assistant execable training utive director. for producers, Though this seminar is provided by the managers, MPB and the Pork herdsmen, anyCheckoff, it is open to one in the proanyone involved in duction cycle. livestock care and agriculture, regard— Jeremy Geske less where they call home.

Bruce Vincent will kick off the seminar with the keynote address “So, You Want to Date My Daughter.” The synopsis of this talk states “We operate only with the consent of the public. Understanding society’s concerns about environmental issues and animal husbandry issues (they LOVE the environment and animals …) is critical in positively engaging that public body.”

Vincent is a third-generation Montana logger who speaks throughout the United States and the world to groups including resource, recreation, banking and business associations, legislative bodies, university campuses, and “anyone else who would like to hear about our rural cultures.”

Vincent will also close the day’s agenda “With Vision, There is Hope: How Not to be the Career of Last Choice.” The description of this presentation explains “An entire generation of students has been taught that career choices that include ‘getting your hands dirty’ are somehow less than fulfilling — at least for anyone with intelligence. This wrong-headed thought process is especially dangerous for the producers who feed, clothe and shelter humanity. This must change if we want a healthy economy, protected planet and competent work force.”

In between Vincent’s presentations will be John Deen with the University of Minnesota talking about euthanasia training, Darwin Reicks of the Swine Vet Center in St. Peter, Minn., discussing working in a filtered barn, and Donna Rae Schef-

Family-gathering pork recipes Enjoy October, which is Pork Month, by trying one of these mouth-watering pork creations.

Slow-Cooked Pork Tortas 1 (2 1/2-pound) boneless pork sirloin roast* 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon olive oil 8 crusty rolls, split lengthwise 2 (7-ounce) packages (about 1 1/2 cups) prepared guacamole 3 tomatoes, cored and cut into 16 slices Rub the pork roast all over with the chili powder and salt. Heat the oil in a large skillet over mediumhigh heat. Add the pork and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes.

Transfer to a 3 1/2- to 5-quart slow cooker. Add 1/4 cup water and cover. Cook on low until the pork is fork-tender, 5 1/2 to 6 hours.

Transfer pork to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes. Discard liquid in crockery insert. Slice pork crosswise into 16 thin slices, discarding string.

For each serving, place 2 pork slices in a roll. Top with about 3 tablespoons guacamole and 2 tomato slices. Cut in half crosswise and serve warm. * Tip: If you desire to tie the roast, cotton kitchen twine (also called butcher’s twine) is handy to have on hand for a number of chores, especially tying roasts to help them keep their shape during cooking.

If you don’t have it, use unwaxed and unflavored dental floss.

Yield: 8 servings Serving suggestions: For a mild garlic flavor, before cooking, cut a large garlic clove into 12 slivers, pierce 12 holes all over the pork with the tip of a knife, and insert a garlic sliver into each hole. To give your sandwich a spicier kick, pickled sliced jalapeños before serving.

Fill up your plate with coleslaw mix tossed with lime vinaigrette and chopped fresh cilantro, and offer crisp tortilla chips and tomato salsa alongside.

Sour apple growers end legal tango with the U

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

Distributed by McClatchy-Tribune Information Services A legal tango over a sweet Minnesota apple is leaving a bitter taste.

After a year-long tussle, a group of disgruntled Minnesota apple growers and the University of Minnesota have agreed to end their battle over the SweeTango, a tasty sensation that takes the best of the popular Zestar and Honeycrisp varieties.

But it might be just the opening skirmish in The Great Minnesota Apple War.

“We’re not all going to fold and go quietly into the night,” said Karl Townsend, owner of Dassel Hillside Farm.

Townsend was one of 15 growers who filed a lawsuit last year over an exclusive licensing agreement that the University of Minnesota struck with the Pepin Heights Orchard.

Dennis Courtier, owner of Pepin Heights, said Sept. 19 that the lawsuit was frivolous. “It was goofy. ... It was a lot of sour grapes over a sweet apple.”

Townsend and other growers said the exclusive

agreement limits their ability to grow, sell and ultimately profit from the SweeTango. In particular, the deal keeps them from selling through wholesalers — an essential source of revenue for most orchards. A district judge dismissed most of the claims in the growers’ suit in February, and on Sept. 19 both sides announced they settled the remaining dispute. The exclusive deal with Pepin Heights Orchard remains but the University of Minnesota will increase the number of trees available to Minnesota growers.

The increase is welcome news for the small roadside orchards, but falls short of helping larger growers, Townsend said. “It’s a joke,” he said.

The university’s restrictive rules on the SweeTango are meant to maintain a high-quality apple, protecting its value to the university. It was a lesson learned after the university debuted the Honeycrisp in 1991, but soon saw it planted in areas that caused quality to suffer.

That’s not what apple growers want to see happen to the SweeTango. “It has fantastic flavor. It has fantastic crunch,” Courtier said. “But you have to do a lot of things right to get it right.”

Townsend said the SweeTango’s quality and the university’s revenue could have been protected without the exclusive agreement. Townsend said the growers don’t have the money to continue a court fight so they’re moving the battle to another front by working with private breeders to develop the next orchard star.

“We already have two more exciting varieties in the works,” he said. “The SweeTango is an early apple that doesn’t store well. We’re looking for the next improved variety.”

With the marketplace demanding new varieties, the University of Minnesota’s apple breeding program the past few years has been hitting home runs with the likes of Honeycrisp, Zestar and, making their first widespread appearances this fall, SweeTangos.

Harbo has SweeTangos for sale but his own first harvest is still three years off because he just acquired his trees this year. He doesn’t own them; growers have to lease them from a Lake City orchard the university has awarded exclusive licensing rights.

A lawsuit challenging the licensing exclusivity deal ended in September with a victory for the school and the cooperative that markets the new variety.

Such is the market-cornering apple industry in 2011.

“The industry now controls the quality and the amount of growth,” Harbo said. “The idea is to keep a high-end apple in front of the public.”

If not in people’s yards. Harbo said it could be up to 20 years before SweeTango trees become available to the general public.

Meantime, harvesting of the tried-and-trues as well as the new continues this month — even as the trees prepare themselves for next year.

Branches already have set their crops for next season. That happened in June.

t’s been a phenomenal journey,” said Marc Klaith, Marshall, Minn., “I Fire Chief and one of the leaders in bringing about the Memorial Park that was dedicated on the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11. “We’ve had the beam for nine years.”

“The beam” is an eight-foot section of steel from the World Trade Center that Craig Schafer saw on a visit to the WTC recovery for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Returning to Marshall he asked Klaith, “If we get one of these beams, can we do something with it?” They envisioned building a memorial at the fire station. Schafer returned to New York with his pickup and trailer to get a beam.

Community leaders thought the memorial should be more visible. Planning began anew in 2004 with landscape architect Gene Ernst, and this past Sept. 11, Memorial Park was dedicated in downtown Marshall at the city’s busiest intersection, U.S. Highway 59 and Minnesota Highway 19.

The memorial met the vision of Klaith and Schafer. They wanted the beam where people can touch it for personal contact with the tragedy, but surrounded with greenery and flowers to show the continuance of life after the tragedy, and they wanted a place where people can sit and reflect.

Ernst put much thought and symbolism into the design. The beam leans slightly toward New York City.

There are 10 limestone blocks and the sculpture of a firefighter that spiral around the beam, 11 elements for the 11th day of September. A total of 3,000 paving stones with stars honor those who lost their lives that day — 61 blue stars for police, 343 red stars for firefighters, 2,596 black stars for civilians.

Two-thirds of the $400,000 cost was funded by corporate sponsors and individual donations. The city of Marshall came up with the rest. The acknowledgment of donors is separated from the actual memorial by a walking bridge over the Redwood River, which flows through the park.

Schafer and Klaith’s originally small vision grew into a memorial park.

Why such a memorial in Marshall?

“We needed to show respect to the people in New York” and other 9/11 sites, Klaith said. “What happened to them could have happened any place in the country. It shows we do care out here.”

It is also about telling the story to future generations, he said. We learned about Pearl Harbor in school. This memorial will be a way to educate children about a day in history that changed our nation.

The livestock markets have seen some volatile days during the first half of September. Most of this volatility has been in response to the outside markets, particularly the financial markets. One should expect this type of market behavior as long as the world economic situation remains on questionable ground.

The cattle market was especially influenced by the shaky world economy as commodity funds exited their long positions over the past several weeks. This liquidation caused the futures to be under pressure and forced the feedlots to move inventory at lower prices to maintain a posiJOE TEALE tive basis.

Broker The other major factor that Great Plains Commodity Afton pressured the market was the fact that when the beef cutouts reached the $185 per hundredweight area basis choice retailers backed away, reflecting consumer resistance to the higher prices. At the same time the packers had paid in excess of these cutout levels on a live basis and profit margins disappeared, forcing their bids to be less aggressive.

On Sept. 23 the U.S. Department of Agriculture released a Monthly Cattle on Feed Report. The results were: Cattle on feed as of Sept. 1 105 percent; placed in August; 99 percent; marketed in August, 107 percent. The report was seen as bullish since the placement number was lower than trade guesses, as well as the total number on feed and the marketed number greater than anticipated.

CORN — We experienced another devastating drop across commodity markets this week after a bleak economic statement from Federal Chairman Ben Bernanke that warned of “significant downside risk to the U.S. economy.”

Massive deleveraging ensued.

This week was about macroeconomics and had little to do with fundamental or technical considerations. The U.S. dollar index correspondingly rallied to its highest level since February and up 1.43 points for the week, the PHYLLIS NYSTROM Dow dove 791 points for the week Country Hedging as of midday Friday, and crude oil St. Paul plummeted $8.33 to $79.85 per barrel.

NEHER, from pg. 1B take some coverage for the next quarter of the year.

When we look at the economics of growing corn next year, we can make the case for significantly more acres to be planted. Even with corn having a significantly higher cost of production than soybeans; it remains more profitable to grow corn with today’s prices.

This could encourage many more acres to be planted to corn next spring. Many in the trade are estimating that 91 million to 94 million acres may be planted to corn in the United States for the 2012-13 crop. Brazil and Argentina are also expected to plant more acres of corn this fall. With average yields, this

could help rebuild world corn stocks.

Given the significant costs (risk) incurred with growing corn, it will be important to manage the risk involved. It may be prudent to lay some of the risk off onto the market, by selling enough 2012 corn to cover the fixed cost of land, machinery, prepaid seed, fertilizer and family living. If we were to see $4 corn next year, unhedged risk could be financially damaging.

The longer that I am involved with these markets, the more that I know I don’t know. When my friend asked me about the corn market, I should have said; “I have no idea.” I do know that we are looking at some profitable opportunities. Managing the margins will be our “Grain Angle.”

Ag groups pan pending free trade agreements ■ Milk production patterns in the Northeast were once again impacted by weather activity with the latest tropical storm creating the expected issues from the farm level to consumer buying patterns, according to the USDA’s latest update on Sept. 16.

Several processing plants were shut down due to water and utility problems. The farm level milk production impact was still being assessed. Milk was being shipped to other manufacturing plants for processing help.

Midwestern milk production is mostly steady in recent weeks and processing plants are taking expected volumes. Milk production conditions in the Southwest are improving and reflect cooler weather conditions. Milk volumes are steady to slightly higher.

In the Pacific Northwest, Utah and Idaho, milk output is down marginally while component levels are

increasing.

Weather is playing a role in contracting milk supplies across many countries in Western Europe. Hot and dry weather in recent weeks has lowered milk production and the rate of increase has narrowed. Seasonending volumes are now closer to year-ago levels. Currency declines have affected export potential, making products more likely to be exported at lower relative value.

Australian milk production reports peg July output at 1.1 percent lower when compared to July 2010. New Zealand production is trending seasonally higher at levels above a year ago, when conditions were poor.

The economic analysis of the USMEF’s Export Market Development Programs was commissioned by the USMEF to quantify the returns that the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agriculture Service and the Pork Checkoff programs received from their investments in the USMEF’s export market development programs.

The study also quantified the contribution of the USMEF’s programs to the growth in exports that has occurred over the past decade. Producer investments account for roughly 50 percent of the USMEF’s expenditures on export promotion programs and the Foreign Agriculture Service

“It’s important to producers to understand and quantify the value of their investments,” said Craig Christensen, chair of the Pork Checkoff’s Trade Committee and a producer from Ogden, Iowa. “The results indicated a positive impact of export market development and promotion on imports of U.S. pork.”

The research was conducted using an economic model which utilized statistical procedures to help researchers account for the impact of a variety of factors that affected import demand, including price of imports of U.S. pork, price of imports of pork from other countries, consumer income in importing countries, exchange rates and the USMEF expenditures on pork export market development.

Eight importing regions, accounting for 82 percent of U.S. pork exports, were used in the model. Mexico, South Korea, Hong Kong, EU, Japan, Taiwan, China, Russia, Mexico and Japan had the highest gains in imports due to export market development.

Frost damage depends on corn growth stage, frost severity Much of Minnesota’s corn crop was damaged by frost on the morning of Sept. 15, according to University of Minnesota Extension corn agronomist Jeff Coulter.

For corn, a killing freeze occurs when temperatures are 32 degrees Fahrenheit for four hours or 28 F for just minutes. But according to Coulter, “A frost or killing freeze can still occur above 32 degrees, especially in low and unprotected areas when there is no wind.”

Symptoms of frost damaged corn Corn leaves are more easily damaged by frost than stalks. In addition, leaves above the ears are more susceptible than leaves below the ear. Leaves damaged by frost initially have a water-soaked appearance, are light green to gray after drying, and later turn brown. A black layer will form prematurely when kernels are killed before maturing. “Wait a few days before

scouting fields to assess the impact of frost,” Coulter said. “If the frost is not severe enough to cause premature formation of the kernel black layer, the kernels will continue to accumulate dry matter.”

Yield, moisture and quality Frost damage to corn reduces grain and silage yields, grain test weight and silage quality. However, yield and quality reductions depend on the crop stage when frost occurs and the severity of the frost.

If leaves above the ear are damaged by frost but leaves below the ear are unharmed, then yield losses are expected to be reduced. See Extension’s Crop

Publication helps farmers avoid over-dried corn When corn harvesting conditions allow optimal time for in-field drying, taking full advantage can reduce on-farm energy consumption. A new publication from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach explains the basic principles of energy management for grain drying.

“Improving Corn Drying Efficiency” (PM 2089Q) is available to download from the Extension Online Store, https://store.extension.iastate.edu.

This publication explains corn moisture content, plant physiology and the fundamental principles of drying corn following harvest. Topics include in-field drying, considerations for selecting earlier maturing hybrids and recommendations for holding corn “wet and cold” through the winter. When conditions allow, implementing some or all of these techniques can help growers reduce fuel bills for grain drying.

“Both over-drying and under-drying corn can lead to wasted energy and lost grain quality,” said Shawn Shouse, ISU Extension agricultural engineer. “Consider options to reduce your drying needs and manage your drying system closely during changing weather and grain conditions to reduce energy use and maintain grain quality.”

For more tips on energy efficiency around the farmstead, log on to http://farmenergy.exnet.iastate.edu or follow @ISU_Farm_Energy on Twitter.

The Farm Energy publications are part of a series of farm energy conservation and efficiency educational materials being developed through the ISU Farm Energy Initiative. The purpose is to increase farmers’ awareness of opportunities for improving efficient use of farm energy. The initiative also will help farmers and utility providers to explore opportunities to reduce farm energy demand and to improve overall profitability in a rapidly changing energy environment.

The dry conditions that occurred during the last four to six weeks in much of Minnesota accelerated crop maturity. Most of the corn that was planted during the first three weeks of May was beyond the half-milk kernel stage (R5.5) when damaged, and therefore grain yield losses in these fields are expected to be low. However, in regions where corn was planted in late May or early June, the corn was around the R5.75 stage (25 percent milk) when damaged.

posal is to cut or eliminate payments to farmers.

Direct payments became part of government farm programs with the so-called “Freedom-to-Farm” farm bill in 1996. The direct payments were to replace the more “open-ended” farm program payments, which existed prior to the 1996 legislation.

Direct payments are “fixed” payments per crop base acre, and are paid to eligible farmers each year, regardless of the actual crop yields, crop prices or farm income. The direct payment levels and formulas have been modified slightly by the 2002 and 2008 farm bills.

The administration wants to eliminate $30 billion in spending on direct payments over the next 10 years, or about $3 billion per year. Estimated current annual federal spending on direct payments is approximately $4.9 billion per year.

The average crop revenue (ACRE) program alternative was added in the 2008 farm bill as a “safety net” alternative for crop producers. However, the program is quite complicated, and enrollment has been relatively low. Total federal spending for the current fiscal year for direct and ACRE payments is estimated at $4.71 billion.

Total farm program payments to producers for 2011, including dairy and livestock payments, are estimated at $10.2 billion, which is down nearly 18 percent from 2010 spending levels, and is the lowest USDA outlay for farm program payments since 1997.

There is a big difference in the amount of direct payments producers receive for various farm crops. Southern rice producers receive an average of $96 per crop base acre and cotton growers receive approximately $34 per base acre in direct payments annually, compared to an average of about $24 per acre for Midwest corn producers.

Farmers in the South received an average 30 to 40 percent of their net income in 2010 from government farm program payments, while Midwest farmers averaged less than 20 percent of net income from those payments. This accounts for some of the regional differences regarding the need for continuation of direct payments.

Some farm organizations, including the National Corn Growers Association, have called for elimination of direct payments in the next farm bill, with See PROGRAMS, pg. 11B

Federal support of crop insurance not likely eliminated rural states. The SURE program provides farmers with approximately an extra 15 percent revenue coverage above their crop insurance coverage on eligible crops raised during a given crop year.

Many farm groups have complained that the SURE program involves complicated payment formulas, which do not allow for potential SURE payments to be made until a year after a crop disaster actually occurs. Originally, the SURE program was

administered by private companies.

Better target agricultural conservation assistance The Obama administration is proposing to reduce federal spending on conservation programs by $2 billion over the next 10 years. This would be accomplished by better targeting conservation funding to the most costeffective and environmentally friendly programs and practices.

While there are few specifics on what the proposed cuts in conservation spending would include, many observers expect the cuts to come through combining and streamlining some existing conservation programs, such as the Environmental Quality Assurance Program and the Conservation Security Program.

Under the Obama Plan, there would still be $60 billion in federal spending allotted over the next decade for conservation programs. The best-known popular federal conservation program is the Conservation Reserve Program, which allows land owners to place environmentally sensitive farm land into long-term land set-aside program. CRP participants receive annual CRP rental payments on the farm land that is idled.

For fiscal year 2011, there are currently about 31.2 million acres under some type of CRP contract in the United States, resulting in an annual total budget outlay of approximately $1.85 billion. Current CRP contracts were to expire on 4.4 million acres on Sept. 30, 2011, with another 6.5 million acres set to expire in 2012, and 3.3 million acres in 2013.

Some see reducing the total acres in CRP, along with more restrictions on acres that are eligible for CRP, as a way to reduce federal spending; however, a strong CRP will likely be maintained in the future.

Extend mandatory disaster assistance to strengthen the “safety net” for farmers The Obama administration recommended extending $8 billion in federal spending over the next 10 years for a mandatory disaster program for farmers, which would extend the funding for those programs for the 2012-16 crop years.

Funding for the Supplemental Revenue Assistance program will expire after the 2011 fiscal year, meaning the SURE program will no longer be available after the 2011 crop year, unless funding is extended.

The SURE program, or permanent disaster program, was initiated as part of the 2008 farm bill, with bipartisan support from many members of Congress from

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

PROGRAMS, from pg. 10B some of the funding being used for an improved “safety net” program that would replace the current ACRE program.

Some members of Congress want to totally eliminate direct payments, ACRE and all program supports for farmers, citing the current high levels of net farm income. Program reductions or elimination of direct payments are likely to happen in the next farm bill, if not earlier during other legislation related to the federal budget deficit; however, some type of “safetynet” program will likely be continued.

Modernize crop insurance program to reduce cost and improve efficiency Most farmers, ag lenders and ag organizations are quite adamant about maintaining support for the federal crop insurance program, which is currently utilized as a “safety net” on approximately 83 percent of the eligible U.S. crop acres to guard against reduced crop yields and crop revenues.

The federal government subsidizes crop insurance to keep insurance premium levels more affordable for farmers. The programs have been expanded in recent years to offer similar “safety net” programs to livestock producers.

The Obama administration wants to streamline the administrative costs for crop insurance, cut the administrative support to private crop insurance agents and reduce the premium subsidies on most levels of crop insurance coverage.

The target is to save about $8 billion in federal spending over the next 10 years on crop insurance programs.

Some observers feel that the federal government may be moving closer to taking over total administration of the crop insurance program, rather than the partnership with private insurance companies that currently exists.

In 2010, Congress cut approximately $6 billion in expected future crop insurance expenditures. Federal expenditures on crop insurance vary from year-to-year depending on total losses in a given year.

Many members of Congress continue to advocate for continued federal support for a strong crop insurance program, and to keep premiums for upgraded crop revenue insurance coverage at affordable levels for most crop producers.

While there may be some reductions in the future premium subsidies and administration costs, federal support for crop insurance is not likely to be totally eliminated, and the crop insurance program will likely continue to be

11 B

Balance and fairness of ag program cuts questioned PROGRAMS, from pg. 11B spending, the Obama administration did not propose any cuts or revisions to that program.

In the debt ceiling legislation that was passed this past summer by Congress, food stamps, along with Social Security and Medicare, were protected from spending cuts. Many observers feel that the 12-member federal budget committee will not propose cuts to most nutrition programs under the SNAP program. However, if there is no budget agreement, and mandated spending cuts are implemented, some SNAP programs could be affected. In the past, strong USDA spending on food and nutrition programs has been used as a tool for farm-state lawmakers to garner enough broad-based Congressional support to pass farm bills.

Most likely, we will not see major reductions in the future federal budget outlay for SNAP programs in the next farm bill.

Bottom line One of the Obama administration proposals related to rural America was to “pursue balanced deficit reduction to prevent drastic cuts.” They reference the need to address federal income tax structure, in addition to

making the proposed by budget adjustments in federal spending for future farm-related programs.

The Obama administration has proposed over $40 billion in federal spending on direct payments, crop insurance and conservation programs over the next 10 years, while adding back about $8 billion for continued funding of the SURE program for the next five years (2012-16).

Overall, the Obama administration proposed $3.6 trillion in spending reductions over the next 10 years, with the goal of balancing the federal budget.

Of that amount, approximately $1.5 trillion will be saved from troop removals out of Iraq and Afghanistan, and $1.5 trillion will come from taxrelated initiatives, leaving $600 billion in savings

from all other federal government program spending.

Of that amount, a cut of $32.3 billion over 10 years would come from direct payments, crop insurance and conservation programs, which would represent 5.5 percent of the total proposed cuts.

Current annual spending on those three programs represents only 0.4 percent of total federal spending.

This has caused some farm groups and others to question the balance and fairness of the cuts to agricultural programs that are being proposed.

Financial management with high prices As we start what we hope is a bountiful harvest and near-record high prices, many farmers may struggle with managing the volume of dollars that you are now dealing with.

For most farmers, especially those who are a little more seasoned, trying to figure out what to do with the “extra” dollars has not been the norm. In a typical year at this time you would be prioritizing your needs to see what you could afford to purchase this year. For many crop farms you now have the ability to take some of those items off the wish list and put them to work on your farm.

The question is: What capital purchases can you make that help you manage your business from all angles? You want to do some tax management while at the same time allow your farm business to handle a few more acres, or at least make it easier for the acres you currently farm. Here are a some management practices to think about during these times.

Improving the efficiency of your operation by investing in cost-saving technology might be a start. Automatic guidance systems and seed shut-offs save money in the long run. Another option may be to reduce debt by looking for the highest interest rate loans and paying them off. If the fee or penalty charge is minimal, fix interest rates on anything that you can. Improve your grain handling facilities that allow you to be more efficient during those crunch times. Invest in good labor on the farm. If you have employees who do a good job and you would like to keep them around and interested in your farm, give them a raise or a bonus. It makes it a lot easier for them to stay tuned into the details, which equates to better production for you.

Perhaps the most important factor while managing all of this is to make some changes or capital purchases without accumulating debt that you cannot afford during normal times. If you cannot afford the cash expenditure with $3 corn, then do not spend the money when corn is $7. For more information on managing your farm finances, you can find a farm management instructor at www.fbm.mnscu.edu.

Do you know what information is in your credit reports? Many people have no idea what information is in these reports, and more often than you might think, there may be mistakes in one or all three of them.

It is a good idea to check these reports on a regular basis. You should know what information people or businesses can get about you when they request a credit report.

If some of that information is incorrect it would be to your benefit to know that and get it corrected. You have the right to correct any incorrect information, but you cannot change unfavorable information if it is correct.

You are able to get one free copy of your credit report per year from each of the three main services: Equifax, TransUnion and Experian.

You can request all three at one time, or you may get one now, another about four months from now and the last one four months later so that you can occasionally keep an eye on your credit during the year.

All three services may or may not have the exact same information about you.

There is only one truly free site to request your credit reports — www.annualcreditreport.com. You can see and print your credit report within a few minutes, after verifying your identity. There are other offers on the internet of a free credit report, but they typically require you to sign up for other, often expensive, programs.

You will not get your FICO score as part of these reports, but for less than $10 you can get a credit score that is not the official FICO score. For a higher amount, you may be able to purchase your FICO score. The FICO score is what your lender will most likely be using. You may be able to get your FICO score by asking your lender. When requesting your credit report, you will also be asked if you want to enroll in other services, but will not be pushed to accept them.

Each person will have their own credit reports, so you and your spouse should each request your own reports. You will not have a joint report in both names. The credit reporting services do not knowingly keep any information on minor children.

You can also request your reports by phone at (877) 322-8228. You will go through a verification process over the phone. Your reports will come by mail in two to three weeks. Reports can also be requested by mail, but you must print a request form from the internet site, so if you have internet access, you might as well get it over the internet, or else by phone.

For more information on managing your farm finances, you can find a farm management instructor at www.fbm.mnscu.edu.

Harvesting options for high-moisture corn Late planting, immature corn and the cost of drying wet corn have many producers considering harvesting some type of high-moisture corn this year. Which method you choose is a factor of what harvesting equipment you have available or personal preference.

• High-moisture shelled corn and/or corn and cob meal (which has some of the cob) is harvested with a combine, and adjustments allow various amounts of cob in the grain.

• High-moisture ear corn (earlage) is usually harvested with a corn picker.

• Snaplage is harvested with a forage harvester with a kernel processor and has a snapper head.

The kernel processor should be set to crack all of the kernels and break the entire cob into pieces smaller than a thumbnail.

There’s renewed interest in harvesting earlage or snaplage because you harvest an additional 10 to 15 percent digestible dry matter per acre. Most storage structures will work for each type, but upright silos need to be in good condition with enough reinforcement rings.

Moisture guidelines for harvesting high-moisture corn are 28 to 32 percent for shelled corn; 30 to 35 percent for ear corn; and 35 to 40 percent for snaplage. Harvesting in these ranges assures that there will be adequate moisture for fermentation and allow for good packing. Harvesting drier than these guidelines increases the risk of molds and poor fermentation.

Harvesting corn at a high moisture rate will increase the rate of ruminal digestion compared to dry corn.

Also, the longer high-moisture corn is fermented, up to approximately six months, the faster the rate of digestion and the greater the extent of starch digestion.

Feed testing laboratories can provide information on starch digestibility and energy value of the corn. Changing the amount fed, feeding in a total mixed ration and additional buffer are strategies that may be needed.

Snaplage tends to have the most variability as a feed. Variables such as grain moisture, cob moisture, corn hybrid and machine settings will change the amount of husk and stalk harvested. It is better to error on the wet side and a finer chop so not to have too many large pieces of husk, stalk and cob. More frequent monitoring of dry matter, neutral detergent fiber and starch content is suggested with snaplage.

If you’ve had a frost or hard freeze, harvest timing will be critical due to the rate of dry-down of the plant and grain. Check for black-layer development first. If the corn has not black-layered, the cob will remain soft, with adequate moisture. Once mature corn has had a killing frost, dry-down can progress quickly if weather conditions are favorable. If the corn was immature and still is wet, watch for possible development of field molds.

A gentle nudge, an inquisitive sniff — your dog or cat’s nose can be used to communicate as well as inquire. But what other telltale signs can your pet’s nose convey?

“Some cat caregivers worry about black spots on the nose of their cat,” said Adam Patterson, clinical assistant professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences.

“The concern is if these black spots are cancerous, but in reality the spots are a normal finding in young orange cats,” Patterson said. “These black spots can appear on your cat’s nose as well as lips, eye margins, gums and mouth.”

“Usually orange tabbies are more prone to these black spots which is a condition known as lentigo simplex,” Patterson said. “These spots are somewhat comparable to freckles in humans and are not itchy or painful. However, there should be concern if you find raised or inflamed spots that cause soreness and pain. Always have these types of spots examined by your veterinarian.”

Dogs can lose pigment on their nose, Patterson said.

This is not much of a concern as long as the surface of the nose retains its cobblestone appearance. If the nose begins to crack, scab or smooth over, then veterinary assistance should be sought.

Nutritional disorders, autoimmune diseases and cancer cause these types of signs and often warrant a biopsy of the nose to make a diagnosis.

“Cats and dogs are prone to sunburn and subsequent skin cancer on noses, ears and around the eyes,” Patterson said. “Fair-skinned animals with light-colored hair coats are at the most risk. Limiting sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. during the summertime ... can reduce the risk for solar damage.”

Your pet’s runny nose may indicate other medical conditions are lingering, Patterson said. Respiratory infections may manifest themselves as nasal discharge, sneezing, coughing and difficult breathing. Foreign bodies or tumors in the nasal passages may cause these same signs. If your pet exhibits any of these health problems, it should be seen by your veterinarian as soon as possible.

“Remember that wet or dry noses are not a sign of illness per se,” Patterson said. “Whether your pet’s nose is dry or wet is largely related to the temperature and humidity in their environment. Lethargy, little or no appetite, weight loss, vomiting, diarrhea and inappropriate urination are some signs that better reflect illness.”

So, know the nose of your pet. It can be a messenger as to the health of your cat or dog in addition to a wet and warm greeting.

He was always looking for gentle steeds for his students. Something in the animal’s demeanor made Harry pull out his bankroll.

Cleaned up, the horse was rather pretty; “fleabitten,” as horsemen would say. He’d seen the harness of a plow, but he was friendly, easygoing and steady, a willing pupil. Snowman, as Harry’s children named him, would be perfect for Harry’s students. The animal’s $80 cost was money wellspent.

At the end of the school year, with no room at his own stable, Harry sold Snowman to a nearby doctor, but Snowman had other ideas. Like a faithful mutt, the horse kept returning to Harry’s barn, leaping several fences to get there.

Then one day, in Harry’s mind, everything clicked: this horse was a jumper!

It’s difficult, if not impossible, to avoid wanting to cheer while reading this book. Though we can surmise by its cover what happens, Letts lends a definite edge-of-your-seat feeling to the story of de Leyer and his unlikely dreammaker, and she does it by pulling readers back to mid-lastcentury: the times, the newsmakers, fashions and myriad reasons why the nation held its breath as an aging gray plow horse flew over nearly-inconceivably high barriers.

Are genetically engineered salmon a health risk?

But the data did not support this assertion. Muir said there is no baseline for the amount of allergens a fish may contain before it is unsafe for consumption and that many fish consumed regularly, such as herring, have significantly more allergens than AA salmon.

“There is as much as a hundredfold difference in the allergenicity among fish,” Muir said. “At what level should it trigger concern?”

Muir also argues that the FDA will treat AA salmon like a new drug that has been through the regulatory process. The agency can approve and continue to monitor the salmon. If new concerns are raised and found to be valid, the government could withdraw its approval.

farm-raised and wild salmon,” Mathew said.

Mathew said crops and animals have been selected for favorable traits for centuries, keeping the value-added genes and eliminating unfavorable ones. He said genetic engineering simply shortens the time it takes to gain those favorable traits.

“Our methods are doing it more strategically rather than randomly,” Mathew said.

The commentary goes point by point to refute concerns raised by special interest groups over genetically engineered salmon.

One of the most significant environmental concerns about genetically engineered salmon is that if they were introduced into the wild salmon population, they would cause its extinction.

This is a theoretical scenario discovered earlier by Muir, which he termed the Trojan gene effect. However, Muir examined fitness data and concluded that AA salmon are less fit than their native counterparts, meaning that natural selection would simply purge them from the wild population.

“The Trojan gene effect does not apply in this case, and there is no evidence to support concern for an extinction event,” Muir said.

Muir also points out that AquaBounty has developed multiple redundant safeguards to prevent the fish from entering natural populations.

First, only triploid eggs — which have three copies of each chromosome — would be sent to Panama from Canada. That means 99.7 percent of the fish are sterile. All the fish would also be female, unable to breed with each other.

Second, the facility in Panama is land-based, with screens to keep the salmon inside. Panama was chosen as the farming site because its waters are tropical. If fertile AA salmon were able to escape the holding barriers, they would perish when reaching water too warm for their survival.

Finally, in the unlikely event that fertile fish escaped and survived in the surrounding oceans, they would have to swim several thousand miles to find possible spawning streams and mates.

Regarding human health concerns, AA salmon were said to have more allergens than non-genetically engineered salmon. This raised concerns that consuming the genetically engineered versions could harm people.

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

A Purdue University scientist is urging federal officials to decide whether genetically engineered salmon would be allowed for U.S. consumption and arguing that not doing so may set back scientific efforts to increase food production.

William Muir, a professor of animal sciences, said that based on data made available by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, AquAdvantage salmon poses little real risk to the environment or human health. AA salmon were given a gene from Chinook salmon that speeds growth and improves feed efficiency in farm-raised fish. Developed by AquaBounty Technologies, the fish would be spawned in Canada and grown to full size in Panama, both of which are land-based, contained facilities.

“We realize that any new technology can have risks, and those risks need to be assessed in a thorough and convincing manner,” Muir said. “However, once the assessment has been completed and the agency concludes from the weight of evidence that risks of harm, either to the environment or to consumers, is negligible, the next step, which is to allow production and sale of the product, needs to be taken.”

Muir and Alison L. Van Eenennaam, an animal genomics and biotechnology Extension specialist at the University of California-Davis, made the call for FDA approval in a peer-reviewed commentary in the early online version of the journal Nature Biotechnology.

The salmon would be the first genetically engineered animal used as a food in the United States, but it has been tied up in FDA regulatory proceedings since 1995. Muir said that becomes a disincentive for those working to increase food supplies for a growing world population.

“This tells us that no entrepreneur is going to invest in these new projects because they can’t get them approved,” Muir said.

Muir has not received any funding or support from AquaBounty Technologies.

Alan Mathew, head of Purdue’s Department of Animal Sciences, served on the FDA’s Veterinary Medicine Advisory Committee, which did not find any significant concerns for AA salmon. He said after considering the issues, he was convinced that the genetically engineered salmon is safe.

“We determined there was not added risk. This is generally the same food as

An earlier attempt by VanThuyne to retrieve the duck was thwarted by an expansive, thigh-deep mud flat.

And now, I was making one last try by taking the long way around, hoping that standing cattails would offer enough support to get to the spot.

But just a dozen yards away from my destination, the cattails thinned out leaving me to sink thighdeep in the primordial muck. I was stuck fast.

When we ran out of water, we climbed out and walked alongside the boat, sliding the last 100 yards or so across an inch of water and two feet of mud to the same place we had easily motored up to a year earlier.

An hour before sunrise, we struggled through the mud to set up the decoys, optimistic over the prospects of some good shooting as Minnesota’s waterfowl season was set to begin.

I imagined the headline in the Worthington Daily Globe: “Foolish 59-yearold duck hunter rescued from mud.”

VanThuyne asked if I needed help.

“Not yet.” We certainly didn’t need two people stuck in the mud.

I grabbed my left leg with both hands and pulled. My foot slid out of the wader boot, which was still stuck fast.

Balanced on one leg, I reached into the mud and grabbed the wader and pulled. It reluctantly came free.

Then the next leg, same procedure.

Eventually, I was able to get turned around and make my way to a denser stand of cattails where the vegetation offered some support and eventually to where VanThuyne waited at the boat.

Oh, we were back out here again Sunday morning.

Next time, avoiding mud STICKY, from pg. 18B time of years past.

Minutes after the first shots rang out on a nearby slough to herald legal shooting time, a flock of wood ducks buzzed over head. Our reflexes a bit rusty, we missed them cleanly.

Over the course of the morning, we enjoyed steady but hardly spectacular action.

By 10 a.m., empty skies prompted us to pack it in. Our bag consisted of a wood duck, a blue-winged teal, two mallards, a widgeon, a (blush) spoon bill, a Canada goose and, of course, the yet-to-be-retrieved mallard.

For the first 100 yards or so, the cattails gave me enough support.

But then, as the last few dense stands of cattails thinned out, the muck got deeper and deeper — so deep I could go no further.

Worse, I was unable to move, to turn around, to get the muck to release its grip on waders. Tired, I considered my options. I was in no danger of drowning but I imagined the embarrassing prospect of a 911 call to busy conservation officers if I wasn’t

widgeon,” Geving said.

Hunters checked on Minnesota Lake didn’t have much action. Conservation officer Greg Abraham checked hunters in the Swan Lake area.

“It was better than I expected — I’d say fair,” he said. “But then nothing today is really good if you remember the really good old days of duck hunting.”

Abraham said he saw a mixture of ducks in hunters’ bags.

“I probably saw as many green-winged teal as I did blue-winged teal, some spoonbills, and it seemed like every body I checked had at least one hen mallard,” he said. Abraham saw two individual limits and several groups that had a single limit between two or three hunters.

While he didn’t work Swan Lake proper on Sept. 24, Abraham said some hunters reported having lots of shooting while others didn’t do quite as well on that popular duck hunting lake.

Apparently hunters were playing mostly by the book. Geving said the only complaint he had to check was hunters rattling birdshot off of nearby residents’ homes.

Abraham said he encountered the usual violations — operating a motorboat with uncased and loaded guns, a

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

By JOHN CROSS Mankato Free Press Depending on where area hunters set out their decoys the morning of Sept. 24 for the opener of the 2011 Minnesota Waterfowl Season, success ranged from fair to excellent.

Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Conservation Officer Bob Geving said hunters he checked on Rice Lake in Faribault County did “awesome.”

“Mostly, I saw limits of teal and woodies with a smattering of mallards,” he said.

The fly in the ointment is that hunters there were greeted with low water conditions which made it difficult to access the lake.

“Water conditions were terrible — hunters really had to battle to get out on the lake,” he said. “A lot of the guys said they weren’t going to go out there again on Sunday.”

Other conservation officers reported varying success on other area lakes.

On Buffalo Lake in Waseca County, hunters averaged one or two ducks each. “But it was a great variety — canvasbacks, pintails, gadwall and

GRAVITY BOXES/GRAIN CARTS

Advantages we offer: • We unload directly from the trucks to a floater (Terra Gator) without stockpiling material.

This gives us a more uniform spread with no foliage to plug up the spreader.

• With direct loading there is no stockpile, no wasted lime or mess in your field.

• We use a floater (Terra Gator) to spread so we have less compaction.

• We are equipped to spread variable rate using GPS mapping.

• We service Minnesota and northern Iowa.

Why apply Aglime: • A soil ph level of 5.5 nitrogen efficiency is only 77 percent.

• A soil ph level of 6.0 nitrogen efficiency still is only 89 percent.

• At a soil ph level of 7.0 fertilizer efficiency is 100 percent. for questions or prices please call
