To the Editor: In response to comments concerning township governments in the Sept. 23 issue (Ed. note: Read them online at http://bit.ly/theland2011-0923/7 — “Letter: Most township boards more advanced”) it is unfortunate a township officer would be appalled at another township doing things their own way.

For a township officer to think local government needs the state to do its bookwork, etc., is ridiculous. In a way, her letter describes how the governments of this state and nation are in the financial mess which we are in. It is unfortunate that people think state government is the answer.

To me, it is quite rewarding to attend the meetings (as a citizen) and observe township business in its entirety, without relying on “Big Brother.” If needed, I will purchase a box of inkpens and donate to the township.

Commentary: Market competition good for consumers, farmers 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?

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

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

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.

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

OPINION

THE LAND, OCTOBER 7, 2011

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

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’re back out here again this morning.

For the first time in recent memory, legal shooting time on opening day was going to be a half-hour before sunrise — the magical witching hour for duck hunters — instead of the customary 9 a.m. shooting 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 conserva-

“Hey, Dale,” I yelled to my hunting partner, Dale VanThuyne. “I think I’m in a whole lot of trouble here.”

We had finished picking up the decoys after the Saturday morning hunt, and I was making one last attempt to retrieve a mallard I had knocked down earlier.

It had enough life left after hitting the water to walk up to an isolated clump of cattails surTHE OUTDOORS rounded by a muddy flat.

By John Cross 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 thigh-deep in the primordial muck. I was stuck fast.

The mud sucked at my boots and legs.

Worse, as I struggled, I was sinking deeper and deeper.

What a difference a couple months can make.

Back in late-June, the owner of the home where we were staying was pulling up water-logged carpet after copious rains flooded his basement, the first time in 30 years he’d had a drop of water.

The succession of storms and heavy rain in spring and early summer washed away pheasant nests and filled wetlands in southern Minnesota to the brim.

But Sept. 24, all of that was history after an extended dry period evaporated all but the deepest wetlands.

We plowed a muddy furrow in the pre-dawn in the outboard in the shallow lake south of Worthington, Minn., we planned to hunt.

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,

Waterfowl opener a mixed bag for hunting success Hunters playing mostly by the book; the usual violations encountered

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 widgeon,” Geving said.

Hunters checked on Minnesota Lake didn’t have much action.

Water conditions Conservation officer were terrible — Greg Abraham checked hunters in hunters really the Swan Lake area. had to battle to “It was better than I get out on the expected — I’d say lake. A lot of the fair,” he said. “But then guys said they nothing today is really weren’t going to good if you remember go out there the really good old days of duck hunting.” again on Sunday.

Abraham said he saw a mixture of — Bob Geving 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 few issues with stamps and licenses.

“But with the early opening shooting hours, I really didn’t hear much for early shooting,” he said.

Geving had two incidents of wayward hunting dogs. On Rice Lake, hunters thought they had a big beaver swimming through their decoys in the early morning darkness.

“Turns out it was a dog that swam all the way across the lake,” he said.

And then a hunting party on Minnesota reported that a Labrador swam up to their boat and climbed aboard, uninvited.

“They were well-fed so they belong to somebody,” Geving said.

The duck hunting season in the south duck zone ended Sept. 24. It will resume Oct. 1 and continue through Nov. 27.

In the north duck zone, the season will remain open, continuing through Nov. 22.

Jaws drop on Outside markets Grains tumble as grain stocks report have inside impact money exits The following market analysis is for the week ending Sept. 30.

CORN — We closed out the week with many traders picking their jaws up off the floor after the very surprising Grain Stocks as of Sept. 1 report released on Sept. 30. Anything that happened prior to the report has been overshadowed by the fresh numbers.

In this report, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said there was 1.128 billion bushels of corn on hand as we closed out the 2010-11 marketing year. This was 78 million bushels greater than even the highest trade estimate. The September USDA bal- PHYLLIS NYSTROM ance sheet was carrying a 920 Country Hedging St. Paul million bushel carryout. Of the new total, 72 percent of the corn stocks were held off-farm.

At first blush, you would think the higher corn stocks implies less feeding, with wheat feed demand picking up the slack. However, on this report the wheat stocks number was also higher than anticipated and reportedly implies wheat feeding was down over 15 percent from last year in the quarter.

Calculations infer that fourth quarter corn feeding is the lowest in over 60 years, at 460 million bushels.

When cattle on feed numbers June-August were the fourth highest in 15 years, the stocks number is puzzling. With the larger ending stocks for 2010-11, we now have some breathing room carried forward to the 2011-12 balance sheet. Prior to the report, December corn was only off 6 cents for the week.

When the dust settled December corn was down 46 cents for the week, closing down the new 40 cent limit at $5.92 1/2 per bushel.

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.

The other major factor that Great Plains Commodity pressured the market was the Afton 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.

The recent cold storage report by the USDA indicated building stocks of beef which would reflect the resistance to the higher beef prices. Nevertheless, it

Grain prices continue to tumble as the investor money runs for the exits.

December corn has lost $1.40 and November soybeans have lost $2 from their late-summer high prices. The crops are getting smaller, yet the prices continue to decline. There is a clear disconnect between grain prices and the fundamentals of supply-and-demand in the markets.

The investment community is clearly spooked by the instability in the world economy. Investors have developed a fear of holding stocks and commodities in their portfolios. They are keeping their capital in “cash” or U.S. TreaTOM NEHER suries that are paying little inter- AgStar VP Agribusiness & Grain Specialist est. We are seeing the impact of Rochester the investors leaving the commodity markets. We can see the impact they had on prices when they were buying commodities. We may be finding the fundamental value of grain as they leave the markets.

The other day I was visiting with a friend who feeds cattle. He asked me what I thought the corn market was going to do. He needed to buy some corn and he generally likes to buy corn at harvest time.

We visited about the investor money coming out of the markets and the smaller crop. We talked about the significant erosion in the price. I told him that I thought there was still going to be plenty of volatility in the markets as we still have several crop reports to come out this fall and demand would remain strong.

We agreed that he should probably take some coverage for the next quarter of the year.

These may be in the back of traders’ minds as we move through harvest.

Grower selling has been turned off with room to store the crop and little inclination to sell $1.87 lower (December futures) than the high set in August. The next support level on the chart would be the spike low set back in July at $5.75 1/2 per bushel.

SOYBEANS — If soybeans were standing alone, the September stocks report would have been supportive with stocks at 214 million bushels versus 225 million estimated. This is 10 million bushels lower than the September balance sheet indicated.

Teale: Pork producers urged to practice patience higher as the packers continued to show interest in acquiring inventory.

The only deterrent to much higher prices would be the fact that the USDA Cold Storage Report indicated that the stocks of pork in cold storage has been on the increase. With the dollar gaining ground against most other currencies, the export market has slowed.

Couple this with the financial uneasiness and a sustained rally seems not likely at this time. Producers are urged to be patient and use any excessive strength in the market to protect inventories.

$11.75 is the lowest level of this calendar year for the November contract. The next level of technical support would be the 100-day moving average on the weekly chart at $11.50 per bushel, then the psychological level of $11.00 per bushel.

Stay in tune with yield reports since harvest weather looks clear for the next week.

As of mid-afternoon Sept. 30, the Dow was up 230 points for the week, the U.S. dollar was 0.05 points higher, and gold was down $20.50 at $1617.20 per ounce.

TEALE, from pg. 16A is highly likely we will see another attempt to push prices higher. If there is little change in the world financial problems, then the rally will likely fail.

However, in light of the heavy selling in corn and wheat, plus weak economics, soybeans were also pulled sharply lower in post-report trading. Higher-than-expected yield reports and good harvest weather cast a shadow over the soybean sector going into the weekend. If soybean yield only improves a bushel from the September 41.8 bu./acre USDA forecast, it would translate into 75 million additional bushels based on the current acreage figure.

Weekly soybeans sales were excellent this week at nearly 38 million bushels. Total commitments are running 24 percent behind last year at 592 million bushels. Total export sales are estimated to decline 5.3 percent this year.

OUTLOOK: Soybeans this week fell under the umbrella of overall commodity selling and better than expected yield reports. November soybeans tumbled 79 cents to $11.79 per bushel for the week. The low this week at

NEHER, from pg. 16A 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.

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 farmrelated 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 nearrecord 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.

Research your credit reports 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.

Frost damage depends on corn growth stage, frost severity

Publication helps farmers avoid over-dried corn

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.

Corn that is severely damaged by frost often has kernels that are more susceptible to cracking, grain that is less digestible and silage that has less energy (starch) and more fiber than normal. Grain with severe frost damage and light test weight should be monitored for mycotoxins before feeding to livestock.

Typical in-field dry-down rates for corn grain in Minnesota are available from the related Crop News article found at www.extension.umn.edu/go/1079.

The Minnesota Carcass Merit Program provides cattle producers an opportunity to observe, understand and, if necessary, re-direct genetic selection and breeding efforts in their cow herds to produce higher quality calves.

This program is open to cattle producers wishing to test the performance potential and carcass merit of their feeder calves. University of Minnesota Extension Beef Team members provide each participant with detailed information on the live performance and carcass characteristics of each of their calves entered into the program.

The program is held at the Rosemount Research and Outreach Center at UMore Park in Rosemount, Minn. The producer is responsible for transport of cattle.

Advantages of entering your cattle in the Minnesota Carcass Merit Program: • Discovery of the feedlot performance and carcass value of your calves • Use of feed intake, weight gain and efficiency, and carcass data to determine effects of genetic selection • Test concept of retained ownership to enhance

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.”

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.

ance, 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 News article for tables that provide more detail at www.extension.umn.edu/go/1079.

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-

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 appear-

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.

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.

Carbon footprint calculator software tool launched

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

User-friendly application provides barn-specific results, insights 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 responsible food producers in the world. The unveiling of the new carbon footprint calculator demonstrates this fact once again.”

Henry said that the calculator will create a benchmark of a barn’s carbon footprint that producers can then use to help make production decisions to improve efficiencies and achieve a lower overall footprint. “This tool truly offers us an innovation that can help guide our management practices,” Henry said.

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 foot-

print 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.”

Pork producers can order a free copy of the Live Swine Carbon Footprint Calculator at www.pork.org/sustainability or by calling (800) 4567675.

Cover story: Harvest festival brings history to life

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.

“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

Seventeen-year-old Matthew Fedders took great pride in sharing his blacksmithing knowledge.

Grace Klein operates the hand-powered sewing machine her grandparents brought with them from The Netherlands in 1913. 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 stove all day, stay hot and never get bitter.”

“Once you taste her cooking done outdoors,” Mark Goesch said, “no other cooking will satisfy,” Stan and Linda Prins operate the electric sawmill, formerly the Gerritsma Sawmill, a well-known area business.

Each year there seems to be a project that someone wants done. This year Linda said they were cutting up logs for benches.

At the blacksmith shop, 17-year-old Matthew Fedders feels right at home.

His enthusiasm for blacksmithing encouraged his parents Mark and Aletha Fedders to build a forge right on their Orange City, Iowa, farm for him. 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.

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.

Ethanol has created a new feed industry — DDGs

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 Mike Brumm each 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 have to find ways to transfer more income to the sale of DDGs and other co-products.”

As more co-products are extracted during this fabrication process, such as “de-oiling” the DDGs, the value of the remaining product for the monogastric

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 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.

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

cent 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.”

Peterson: Farm technology, management improving 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.

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 LAND, OCTOBER 7, 2011

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 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

DDG nutrient content a greater concern this year

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

There’s always variation in feedstuffs but extra effort may be needed to manage around the variables of feed quality this fall.

— Lee Johnston 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 product 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 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 starting 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.”

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
