Minnesota’s state FFA officers was visiting the BOLD chapter so he, too, got involved in making Olivia look just a bit more corny.

It would take 15 to 20 minutes for the ambulance to get to their farm. She could drive him to the local hospital quicker, so she did. At the hospital the immediate diagnosis was ambulance delivery to a Sioux Falls hospital for a possible heart stent procedure. I’ve always had some regard (and suspicion) about this particular brother-in-law’s weird sense of humor. For example, in describing his ambulance trip on Highway 23 from Marshall, Minn., to Sioux Falls, S.D., he wondered if, when the local ambulance crew purchased their ambulance, they first measured the wheelbase to match it up against the highway joints. He ventured, “I think they must have because as the ambulance sped to Sioux Falls with me strapped tightly onto a gurney, which I’m certain had less than one inch of padding, I felt every Highway 23 joint that entire 100-mile jaunt. And Highway 23 won’t win any blue ribbons for being smooth and shock-free, especially in an ambulance speeding 75 mph and faster.” During his unexpected ambulance journey, his mind apparently got restless. “As the ambulance sped down the highway,” he said, “I thought, how strange — here I am potentially facing some serious heart challenges and my body is feeling every whack of this highway. But if I were dead and being

MINDS, from pg. 2A was nearby. I stopped and the price for this drug was about $75.” I’m sharing this for the simple fact that if your life has moved into the prescription drug era it might be worthwhile to check with more than one provider when it comes to filling your particular prescription. Just maybe the “big name” providers aren’t your low cost providers. For my friend, needless to say, his local drug store is now his No. 1 provider. Unfortunately doctors aren’t aware of these remarkable disparities in prescription medicine costs. Even if they were, professional ethics and potential litigation issues make it difficult for doctors to suggest providers of prescription medicine. So my advice is simply don’t assume the big-name stores are the best buy when it comes to filling a medical prescription. Our “socialized medicine” transition that seems to be sweeping across America may have some initial financial appeal but huge scams within the American drug industry also seem to be occurring. We know all too well who ultimately pays the bill. A humorous note This particular anecdote originated with my other brother-in-law, long retired from farming and now enjoying “fairway privileges” at his local golf course. Which means he and his cronies can show up just about any time (except Ladies Day) with almost immediate access to their tee box. That is, when health permits.

The Minnesota Soybean Growers Association disagrees with legislation introduced in Congress Oct. 5 that attempts to reduce the Renewable Fuels Standard based on arbitrary thresholds. “This bill is poor public policy that sells farmers and the public short, and we hope it goes nowhere in Congress,” said MSGA President Kurt Krueger, a Rothsay, Minn., farmer. “Farmers are proud of the contribution we are making to our nation’s energy independence by producing corn and soybeans for the nation’s growing renewable fuels industry. We are giving consumers an alternative to petroleum, while continuing to meet domestic and international demand for food and livestock feed. Farmers have the technology and the will to be reliable sup-

pliers of quality crops for all of our customers — food companies, livestock producers, international buyers and the American renewable fuels industry.” The bill that has many farmers, as well as the nation’s renewable fuels industry, upset was introduced by Reps. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., and Jim Costa, D-Calif. “Those against renewable fuels would like people to believe biofuels divert grain away from the livestock industry causing feed prices to increase, and that’s just not true,” Krueger said. “Production of biodiesel from soybeans and other oils actually results in production of more soybeans, which means more soybean meal for the livestock market. The bigger the demand from the renewable fuels industry, the more soybeans we

Letter: ‘Roads’ example not government at its best To the Editor: The Back Roads story on Page 32A of your Sept. 23 issue, “Government at its Best,” if it were true, would be absolutely fantastic. (Online at http://bit.ly/theland2011-0923.) However, with the misinformation provided, I feel the author was “duped” as only the opinions of the town board are stated. The photograph is also misleading. The treasurer, during the last few meetings I attended, was seated with his back to the audience. In addition, the only time the citizens of the township are allowed to see any financial information is during the annual meeting. A two-sided copy of what they purport to be a financial statement is sometimes posted on the wall, but no copies are provided (unless you wish to pay the high price they charge) and you need to stand on your head to be able to read the back page of the document. There is no democracy in Leslie Township. These men rule with an iron hand. Any individual that dares to oppose a decision is met with arrogance, harassment and even threats posted in the local newspapers. They abide by their own laws and regulations, and disregard any laws regarding shoreland development or road construction, with one of the supervisors declaring himself the “lawyer of Leslie Township” despite

the fact he has no license to practice law. Threats are more his style. As noted in the letter to the editor by the chairman of Rapidan Township, more efficient and up-to-date procedures for record keeping do exist and should be implemented. However, the clerk refuses to allow any sort of word processing program to be installed on “his” computer, even when it is offered for free. It is more important that the games he purchases are available. The minutes of meetings are a total disgrace. Even his own name is misspelled at least 50 percent of the time. The contents of these supposed minutes are only allowed when a supervisor tells the clerk what should be included. Why should these men update their procedures when they can reap the benefit of the mileage expense for trips to town to place an ad or check the balances in bank accounts? At the end of the year, those trips generate much more than a pretty penny. Reality is that during a recent state audit, it was discovered that three of the board members weren’t even bonded. Yes, I agree that township government should be “American government at its best” but in Leslie Township it does not exist. Deborah J. Dowell Osakis, Minn.

When Chairman Frank Lucas gaveled the full House ag committee to order Oct. 12, ranchers, farmers and other aggies who depend on commodity futures markets to price their crops, livestock and dreams might have thought the hearing would center on what its title suggested: “To Review Legislative Proposals FARM & FOOD FILE Amending Title VII of the By Alan Guebert Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.” The hearing would do no such thing. Two days before, on Oct. 10, the Committee’s Majority Staff circulated a seven-page memo to all members that outlined seven legislative proposals to amend the law designed to rein in American equity and futures markets’ excess that nearly derailed the global economy in 2008. (Read the memo at www.farmandfoodfile.com.) Each of the seven proposals, though, sported two faces. The first was really a mask for the second: a legitimate question or concern about some aspect of Dodd-Frank’s trading rules. The second was the real deal: a primer on how to kill Dodd-Frank by sticking it with a thousand little pins — amendments, hearings, studies, costbenefit analysis, lawsuits — and letting it slowly bleed to an irrelevant death. No muss, no fuss, no fingerprints. And, of course, no reform and no protection against the swindlers, crooks and banksters who skinned every American in 2008. That was easily confirmed by the so-called “Witness List,” experts called to “testify” in the Oct. 12 “hearing.” They were bleating sheep in Congress’ cash-green, astro-turf pasture, invited to endorse the Majority’s biases and fertilize its false choices. The Oct. 10 memo provides the proof. For example, the memo goes into great detail over the role of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in setting margin requirements for “swaps dealers and major swap participants that are not banks.” It then notes that the Majority’s amendment “HR 2682 clarifies congressional intent by providing explicit exemption from margin requirements for transactions involving end-users that qualify for the end-users clearing exemption.” How do we know that? By who will be coming to explain it, says the memo; Brenda Boultwood speaking on behalf of something called “The Coalition for Derivatives End-Users.” If you think that Ms. Boultwood, an end-user speaking for “The Coalition for End-Users” on an amendment to exempt “margin requirements for transactions involving end-users,” might favor such an exemption, well, you’re catching on to how the Big Boys win the regulatory game.

By TIM KROHN Mankato Free Press NEW ULM, Minn.— Georg and Paula Marti and their family have spent the past month making daily visits to their vineyard and keeping in touch with 20 other Minnesota growers who provide grapes for their Morgan Creek Vineyards near New Ulm, Minn. “It’s a busy time. The grapes have to be picked just at the right time,” said Paula Marti. “The crush crews will work until early October. Crushing 100,000 pounds of fruit is exhausting.” The same scene is taking place near Janesville, where Ray and Lisa Winter and their family have been harvesting and producing wine at Indian Island Winery and Vineyard. And near Kasota, Kent Schwickert’s crew is harvesting the first grapes and making the first wines at the Chankaska Creek Ranch & Winery, which opens next spring. The three wineries and several new vineyards being started across the region are part of a burgeoning wine industry that is transforming tourism and entertainment offerings and bringing a new type of agriculture to corn and soybean country. The three wineries will produce more than 100,000 bottles of wine combined. For all the rapid growth in the vineyard and winery industry, it’s still in its infancy in southern Minnesota and the state. “We don’t see a saturation point. Less than 2 percent of the wine consumed in Minnesota is made in Minnesota,” said Ron Barnes, president of the Minnesota Grape Growers Association. “There’s really a huge potential for becoming a much bigger industry.” Winery trails “We will really be a mecca for southern Minnesota for those who like doing wine tours, wine tastings and seeing that segment of the ag industry,” said Anna Thill, head of the Greater Mankato (Minn.) Convention and Visitors Bureau. A survey of visitors to Mankato this year found that 6 percent said they visited a winery while they were here. “But when you asked people what they’d like to do if they returned here, that jumped to 35 percent who said they’d like to visit a winery,” Thill said. She envisions more formal tours to area wineries, including bus tours. “I think Mankato will be the hub, where most people stay with the spokes going out to the different wineries.” Tourists haven’t waited for formal tours to be put together. “We already get a lot of people from the Cities just coming down on their own,” Ray Winter said. “If there were tours available, they’d love to do it because they don’t have to drive.” The key to growing tourism and a successful wine-making industry, say winery owners, is maintaining quality. “Minnesota is getting some reputation in the wine industry,” Schwickert said. “These cold-hardy grapes the University of Minnesota is developing are getting attention from Minnesota all the way to New York. “You put good winemakers in front of good fruit, you’ll get a reputation.” When the Martis began their vineyard and winery in the early ’90s — just the fifth winery in the state at the time — they did it with an eye toward tourism and education. “We have one of the most beautiful agriculture landscapes in See VINEYARDS, pg. 10A

Like any crop, better land makes better grapes VINEYARDS, from pg. 8A the state in this area, and we haven’t marketed that enough. “There’s just tons of future on showcasing the wine and food industry right here on the Bend of the River,” Paula Marti said. Chankaska Creek Ranch & Winery Drew Horton opens the plug on an oak barrel and invites a visitor to sniff. “That’s French oak. Now smell this one, it’s Hungarian oak.” The wood scents are slightly differ-

ent — scents that will provide subtle differences in flavor when the 300-bottle barrels are filled with wine to age from four to 16 months. Horton, the winemaker at the new Chankaska Creek Ranch & Winery, was brought on board late last year by Schwickert and is producing the winery’s first wines this fall. With 18 years in the California wine business, Horton has ambitious plans to make a variety of wines in traditional tanks and in the oak barrels. He so far has 85 new and used oak

barrels. “The new oak produces a stronger flavor than the used barrels.” While French oak has long been used for blending wines, the winery also is using a variety of American oak barrels. A longtime wine connoisseur, Schwickert and some partners have spent the past few years building a vineyard and winery off Highway 22 near St. Peter that will be open for business next spring. After three years, the 3,900 vines on seven acres of rolling hillside at Chankaska Creek are producing their first grapes and Horton is producing the first batches of wine. The young plants produce less than mature vineyards and a very wet spring set production back from what was expected, Schwickert said. Their vineyard will cover about onethird of the wine production with grapes also purchased from other Minnesota vineyards and some from Washington and California. Chankaska Creek plans to initially produce nearly 40,000 bottles of wine — about what other area wineries make annually — and increase production in coming years. A new production facility was built and a retail building is being finished this fall, around the site of the former Country Pub dinner club. The winery is named for Chankaska Creek, which flows through the property, including past historic farm buildings that are being incorporated into the winery setting. The 7,500-square-foot winery building and retail store is on top of a hill overlooking the farm site and creek. “We’ve been focused on the building and grounds, shoreline restoration, constructing walking bridges,” Schwickert said of this past summer’s work. The master plan for the 15-acre site includes a 10-acre vineyard, trail system, sculpture park, amphitheater and indoor and outdoor event spaces. Chankaska Creek will focus on hosting festivals, community events, corporate events and weddings. Morgan Creek Vineyards One of the founding wineries in the state, Morgan Creek Vineyards has family ties that run far back in the alcohol industry — Georg Marti comes from the Schell’s beer brewing family in New Ulm. They still label themselves as a small family winery — they produce about 36,000 bottles a year — but their impact has been large on the industry. They have a long list of awards for

their wines; they produce private label wines for Fire Lake Grill in Minneapolis; they’ve provided mentoring to a number of start-ups; and they are investor/owners in the Minnesota State Fair wine exhibit, which for years has been housed in a wing of the Horticulture building. The fair exhibit — which provides tasting and glasses of wines for sale — has been so popular, the State Fair made an unprecedented offer considering there is a long list of people hoping to get any piece of real estate inside the fairgrounds. “The Fair Board gave us the opportunity to buy a building there, which we are doing,” Marti said. The building, formerly the Epiphany Church Diner, is in a prime location and directly across from the Agriculture building. Indian Island Winery Ray Winter’s roots are in the vineyard business. He started a vineyard next to his farmhouse more than a decade ago and has been one of the go-to guys for those wanting to start their own vineyards. The vineyard, now more than 13 acres, produces about 5 tons of grapes per acre. The family also sells nursery stock to other growers. While vineyards are often planted in sandier soil, not black farmland, Winter planted his vineyards on his prime farmland. “We were worried about putting it on our best land, but I’m glad we did. Some disagree, but I think the better the land, the better they do. It’s like any crop, you have to feed your crop to get a quality crop.” While beginning in the vineyard business, the Winter family got into the winery side of the business in a big way two years ago when they constructed a large winery and retail store nearby on a hill that was once a summer hunting camp for Native Americans. The family has found many artifacts over the years, and the Indian theme flows through the artwork created for the wine bottle labels, on the menu (elk and buffalo burgers) and in the decor. The Indian Island wines have done well in competitions, including 12 medals won this year as well as winning the prestigious Governor’s Cup, a traveling trophy. “Business has been really good.

Duane Alberts, Minnesota — Brian Greenslit Farm Bureau vice president and Pine Island-area dairy farmer, added: “recognizing that our customers are No. 1 in providing for our livelihood needs to become more the focus of us farmers. We’re very good at producing, but our concerns should go beyond our farm gate because ultimately the customer is always right.” Julie Tesch, Minnesota Agricultural Education Leadership Council executive director, mentioned the positive response the past two years generated by Ag Awareness Day on the U of M Minneapolis campus. “Today’s University students are genuinely interested in their food. And they seem to have a growing awareness of starvation and food shortages in various parts of the world. This seems to be sparking some interest in Minnesota agriculture. Yes, there is tremendous misunderstanding and ignorance about this business of farming. “That’s why we constantly remind our ag ed students, in fact all students on the St. Paul campus, the importance of being ‘teachers’ every day, not just during their working hours in the classroom. Sometimes the best ideas for teaching come from disagreements from other students.” Value-added industry State Sen. Doug Magnus reminded the audience that Minnesota agriculture is indeed big business generating over $16 billion in revenues this past year and a No. 6 ranking among all states. “This has more than doubled in the past eight years. We’re also now doing over $6 billion in agricultural exports to countries around the world. In fact, just the export value of Minnesota soybeans today equals the total value of the entire crop 10 years ago. “In our state legislature I like to emphasize our Triple E focus: exports, environment and energy. At the federal level, I’m of the opinion that the Environmental Protection Agency is causing undue consternation dictating what we should be doing without even asking.” Magnus feels the future of energy will be heavily tied to agriculture. “I look upon water as the ‘new oil’ of the Midwest because there’s little doubt in my mind that water more and more is becoming a limiting factor in much of our country’s production agriculture. “We’ve just simply have got to embrace technology.

Stallman: How much do consumers want, need to know? MESSAGE, from pg. 12A challenges and great opportunities.” Al Juhnke, aide to Sen. Al Franken and former chairman of the Minnesota House of Representatives agriculture committee, said, “it’s important that we keep reminding our people of the value of agriculture in this state. One of every five jobs in the entire state stems from agriculture. Minnesota is rich because of three tremendous industries: agriculture, timber and mining. Note that all three are products of the land. Our land is our greatest resource.

“In D.C. high on the agenda of Sen. Franken and many others is drafting of the next farm bill. We need to keep reminding others that the farm bill is less than one-tenth of 1 percent of the federal budget and 74 percent of our farm bill currently is dedicated to school lunch programs and other nutrition concerns. Only 18 percent of that total budget is earmarked for commodity programs, crop insurance and conservation. And that leaves a miserly 8 percent for research and rural development across America. Yet research is absolutely critical to the future of America and much of the

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Neil Anderson has been involved in the building moving business for 10 years. That’s nothing out of the ordinary, until you realize that he was 12 when he got started. Now, Anderson is established in the Paynesville, Minn.,-area with a Neil Anderson six-man crew. He used to farm parttime with his dad and uncle, as well as playing in a band in his earlier life. He grew up on a Polk County dairy farm near Glenwood, Minn., and credits his start in the building moving business to an uncle who did house maintenance work and also moved a few garages. “He’s a carpenter and a dry-wall guy. He’d hear about a single-car garage being available when remodeling a house. He didn’t have any equipment but he knew we had a low-boy machinery trailer. He’d ask me to bring the trailer to So this was this garage location. good experiHe had the jacks and ence for me. I just like that I was was making a suddenly in the movfew bucks ing business helping my uncle,” said Anderwhile in high son, who admits he school. My parwas a “big” 12-year old ents said that if standing 5 feet 8 I wanted to go inches and weighing to college, I had 165 pounds. He to earn the started driving tractor when he was 8. money. Going through high — Neil Anderson school, Anderson was frequently helping his uncle Ken Jorgenson move some buildings, usually old garages that Uncle Ken would pick up for $100, do some fixing up on them, and resell for quite a few more bucks. “So this was good experience for me. I was making a few bucks while in high school. My parents said that if I wanted to go to college, I had to earn the money. I planned on studying architecture at the University of Minnesota but when I walked the campus, sometimes in tunnels leading from one building to another, I said to myself, ‘this is ridiculous. I don’t want to live in the city’,” he recalled. Instead he went to the vocational college in Alexandria, Minn., taking a two-year carpentry course. That led him into starting his own remodeling business, plus back to part-time work on his parents’ farm. Meanwhile, Anderson had a special hankering for music and started writing music plus putting together his own band. “So when I was 20 years old I was starting a construction business plus a band. Yes, that was a bit overwhelming, especially since I was still helping on our farm (about 2,500 acres) also plus our 80-cow dairy. It was sort of crazy so in late-2001 I decided to move to Paynesville and do my own thing,” Anderson said. See MOVER, pg. 18A

Pork Board: Producers, workers should get flu vaccination As the United States enters another flu season, the Pork Checkoff is advising producers, farm personnel and others who have contact with pigs to get the seasonal flu vaccination as soon as possible to help protect human and pig health. “It’s always wise for producers and swine farm workers to reduce the risk of getting sick and bringing the flu to the farm or workplace by getting vaccinated,” said Jennifer Koeman, director of producer and public health for the Pork Checkoff. “It also demonstrates the industry’s ‘We Care’ approach to protecting employees, animals and public health.” According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, all people over the age of 6 months of age should be immunized for influenza each year. “People may remain contagious for up to five to seven days after getting sick,” Koeman said. “That’s why it’s so crucial that employers have a sick-leave policy that encourages those experiencing symptoms of influenza-like illness to stay home.” At the farm level, good building ventilation and good hygiene can help reduce transmission of flu viruses. “To prevent pigs and humans from other species’ influenza viruses, producers also should look at bird-

proofing their buildings, protecting feed from birds and enforcing biosecurity practices, such as the use of farm-specific clothing and footwear,” Koeman said. According to Lisa Becton, Pork Checkoff’s director of swine health information and research, “It’s very important to monitor your herd’s health daily and contact your herd veterinarian if influenza is suspected.

Cookbook brings flavors of Spain to your kitchen By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent Did you know the CIA is highly interested in your kitchen? Not the CIA of Washington, D.C., and Hollywood. The Culinary Institute of America brings world cuisine to these American shores with titles such as “Spain and the World Table,” a coffee-table-worthy cookbook with recipes an average Joe can actually aspire to. Its big, bold photographs contrast nicely with the simplicity of the ingredients and instructions. If you love garlic, olive oil and Mediter-

ranean spices, this book’s for you. ■ Get the “exotic” flavors of Spain from your own garden and spice rack by combining old favorites in new ways. In Morroccan-inspired Seven Vegetable Soup, tender chickpeas, squash, rutabagas, Swiss chard and zucchini swim with apple, cumin and cinnamon. It’s savory but a little sweet; using vegetable stock makes it vegetarian. Our family used some end-of-season produce to make a double batch and threw in a couple of extra veggies. Four out of four yums from the Johnson clan!

Cookbook Corner

The Johnson clan gives four out of four yums to S e v e n Ve g e t a b l e S o u p Seven Vegetable Soup Serves 8 2/3 cup chickpeas, soaked overnight and drained 5 cups chopped onions 6 cups beef broth or vegetable stock 8 cups large-diced, peeled butternut squash 1 turnip or rutabaga, cut into wedges about 1/4 inch by 1 inch 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, or more as needed 3 medium zucchini, diced small 2 cups large-diced apples, quinces or pears 1 bunch Swiss chard, greens only, cut into 1/2-inch strips (6 cups) 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons sugar Combine the chickpeas, onions and beef broth or vegetable stock in a large stockpot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the chickpeas are just tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Stir in the butternut squash and

turnip or rutabaga with the cumin, cinnamon and 2 teaspoons of the salt, and simmer until almost tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the zucchini and apples, quinces or pears, and simmer for 5 more minutes, or until almost tender. Stir in the chard and simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the chard is tender. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, the pepper and sugar, more or less to taste, and serve. ■ In Spain, the joke goes, garlic is not a seasoning, it’s a vegetable. Garlic Potatoes and Shrimp in Garlic prove that you really can’t put too much garlic in anything. Note the author’s instruction to cook the garlic “just until it starts to brown” in both recipes; this is a good tip for any home chef. And remember, if everyone eats garlic, no one has garlic breath. Garlic Potatoes Serves 8 6 medium thin-skinned potatoes, preferably Kennebec, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch cubes 4 teaspoons salt, divided use 3 tablespoons sunflower or canola oil 1/2 cup finely sliced garlic 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 8 cups canola oil, or enough to fill the pan 3 inches Place the potatoes, 6 quarts of cold See COOKBOOK, pg. 23A

Limit up follows limit down

Retailers resist higher prices

Tremendous harvest conditions

The following market analysis is for the week ending Oct. 14. CORN — The market experienced its first 40-cent limit up move this week since the new trading limit was enacted. This comes on the heels of the first 40cent limit down move experienced last week. The day before the October crop report, funds returned to the market as heavy buyers and amid unconfirmed rumors at the time that China had bought corn. As report day dawned, expanded limits of 60 cents went untested. The October U.S. Department of Agriculture crop report was PHYLLIS NYSTROM mildly bearish to corn with a few Country Hedging St. Paul new questions popping up. The nuts and bolts of the report included the corn yield left unchanged from the September report at 148.1 bushels per acre when traders were expecting a 148.9 bu./acre figure. Corn production at 12.433 billion bushels was 60 million less than expectations and 64 million less than the last report. Planted acres were decreased as expected by 400,000 acres and harvested acres correspondingly fell 500,000 acres. Ending stocks for 2011-12 were forecast at 866 million bushels, 194 million higher than last month’s 672 million estimate and 70 million greater than the pre-report estimate. The world corn carryout went from 117.4 mmt in September to 123.2 mmt on this report. What was brought into question was the decrease in exports of 50 million bushels. Remember last

The livestock markets have continued to show strength as we moved into October. Most of the strength has been developed in the futures market which has led packers to pay higher for live inventory. This has been most true in the cattle market which has seen speculative buying pushing futures way out ahead of the current cash prices. This activity has been led by the commodity hedge and index funds moving large amounts of money into this market as a hedge against inflation. The true fundamentals would indicate not quite as bullish a scenario as JOE TEALE what is being presented by the Broker influx of these funds. Great Plains Commodity For example this has forced the Afton packers to push for higher beef cutouts to try to keep their margins at a positive basis. Because of this the retailers are resisting the higher prices and the volume in the boxed beef trade is slowing once again as we move toward the $185 per hundredweight level basis choice. With competitive meats at much lower cost to the retailer and consumer, the emphasis is turning away from beef to the other meats. With the continuing economic struggles worldwide, much higher food costs would not appear to be able to be sustained in the long run. Therefore, cattle prices may be restricted in how far they can advance in the future from current levels. Producers should take advantage of the current strength in the market and at least protect some inventory. The hog market has been helped to some degree, as

The unseasonably warm, dry fall has given us tremendous harvest conditions. The speed of harvest has been a real blessing, given the late planting of this crop. Earlier in the growing season, there was concern of high drying cost. Fortunately this has not been a problem and has saved a great deal of time in the harvesting process. The early frost has not proven to have damaged the crops as many feared. There are some pockets that were especially late in planting that are reporting some “green” beans. Yet, to date this has not been widespread. For those challenged with these conditions, one will want to be cogTOM NEHER nizant of the grain grading and AgStar VP Agribusiness discount schedules at the point of & Grain Specialist sale. One must be careful not to Rochester co-mingle “green” beans with beans unaffected by the early frost. This could cause significant financial consequences, due to discounts. As we fill on-farm storage, we must remember that this is another business enterprise that must be managed in a professional manner. There are opportunities to fatten margins with proper managing and merchandising. With these opportunities, there are also risks involved with mismanagement. There is nothing like letting a bin of grain go out of condition, to provide a steep “tuition” bill from the marketplace. Attention to details, such as “pulling the centers” out of the bins to remove the “fines,” to allow for proper air circulation throughout the bin can pay big dividends. Fall tillage could be a challenge with the dry condi-

TEALE, from pg. 24A have the cattle, by the influx of speculative money flowing into the futures. There has also been some new export business around and more rumors of more exports in the future. The cash side of the market has been more of a leader than the futures as packers have been fairly steady buyers of inventory. Like the cattle, as pork cutouts continue to rise, the resistance to higher prices by the retail and exporters will climb also. The value of pork products is far better than the value of beef at current prices since they are virtually half of that of the beef cutouts. Again the economic conditions are going to play a significant role in the futures prices of hogs down the road. The continuing stagnant and deteriorating conditions of world economies, and the lack of any progress to eliminate these problems, could hamper the outlook for pork prices as well. It would be prudent for producers to protect at least part of their inventory at this time and use further strength to up their protection.

NEHER, from pg. 24A tions this year. If conditions are such that more damage will be made to soil profiles or machinery than it is worth, one may want to wait for a rain. Soil types and weather conditions will play a big part in these factors. Sometimes we can do more damage to soil conditions by misapplied tillage, putting one in a disadvantaged position in the spring with poor seedbeds. This is a judgment call that must be made. Consider the return on the investment. Many grain producers who have held on to grain un-priced going into harvest — because this has paid off the last couple of years — are feeling frustrated with the market action of late. Those who did not want to sell, due to fear that they would see price move higher and leave “money on the table” are now looking at $2 in corn and $3 in soybeans left on the table. The temptation for “panic selling” is compelling. This is not the time to panic. It may take some time, but this market is still strong. While corn could trade lower into the “gut-slot” of harvest, the long-term supply and demand situation should lead to another rally later in the 2011-12 marketing year. In its September supply and demand report, the U.S. Department of Agriculture pegged domestic ending stocks-to-use at 5.3 percent, the second-tightest on record and global ending stocks-touse at 13.6 percent, the tightest since the 11.7 percent estimated at the end of the 1973-74 marketing year. We must remember that farming and grain marketing is not easy. If it was, everyone would be doing it. Let us remember to be thankful for the blessings of a harvest and role that we play in feeding a hungry world.

Nystrom: Market to bid up beans to fill pipeline NYSTROM, from pg. 24A week we discussed that total export commitments were already at 41 percent of total export projections. Including this week’s sales and the new export forecast, total corn export commitments are at 45 percent of total projected exports. And the feed usage line is still in question with feed usage down 100 million bushels when animal numbers have grown. On report day, it was also reported that China had bought 1.5 mmt of optional origin (U.S. or Argentine) corn. The next day the USDA confirmed that China had purchased 900 tmt of U.S. corn (the seventh-largest 24-hour announcement sale ever) and 292 tmt of U.S. corn had been sold to unknown (assumed to be China). Basis levels have leveled off, and in some cases improved, as end users plug supply holes. Farmer selling has been minimal after the nearly $2.00 selloff from the highs. Early yield reports have been more of the “not quite as good as expected” type. Space is plentiful in the country and corn is getting put away. It looks like we’ll be going into another growing season with the same attitude as last year, we can’t afford any problems. Sino Grain out of China pegged their corn crop at 184.5 mmt as compared to USDA’s 182 mmt projection. China will remain the wild card on what they will actually need to import. The USDA has China’s imports from the United States at 2 mmt. If the newest 1.5 mmt comes from the United States, we

will need to see that forecast climb. Weekly corn exports were huge at 49.6 million bushels and next week will also be large. Weekly ethanol production was down 23,000 barrels from the previous week at 860,000 barrels. This was also down 2 percent from last year; the first time since records have been kept that weekly production has been lower than the previous year. OUTLOOK: The $5.72 1⁄4 low in December corn on Oct. 3 may be viewed as the harvest low as we enter the second half of corn harvest. End user and fund buying have returned to the market, also. Unless yields are perceived as improving significantly as we move through harvest, a December corn range of $6.00 to $7.00 plus may be expected. December corn this week closed up 40 cents at $6.40. The December 2012 contract was 33 1⁄2 cents higher at $6.01 1⁄2 per bushel. SOYBEANS — Soybeans followed the same pattern as corn this week, with a strong pre-report rally on fund buying and talk of Chinese buying. The monthly soybean report on its own was friendly as ending stocks declined to 160 million bushels. This is down 5 million from last month and versus trade estimates for an increase to 181 million bushels.

Bean yield fell 0.3 bu./acre to 41.5. The trade was expecting an increase to 42.0 bu./acre. Production of 3.06 billion bushels was down 25 million from September and 34 million less than estimates. Exports were lowered 40 million bushels and residual increased 9 million bushels. World soybean carryout was essentially unchanged at 63 mmt. Adding to the positive tone was the news that China had bought 100 tmt of bean oil from Brazil and 700-800 tmt of U.S. soybeans. Reportedly, China is looking to buy up to 2 mmt of beans and 700 tmt of bean oil to replenish government reserves. China’s thinktank lowered their soybean production forecast to 13.5 mmt, down 10 percent from last year and .5 mmt less than the USDA estimate. Weekly soybean exports were mundane at 24.7 million bushels. This brings commitments to 47 percent of the total export estimate. The NOPA crush this month was bearish to soybeans with only 110 million bushels crushed when 118 million had been anticipated. The oil stocks number however, came in bullish at 1.95 billion pounds versus estimates for 2.139 billion pounds. As U.S. soybean harvest begins to wind down, grower selling has diminished. This has firmed basis levels. A new sale of 110 tmt of U.S. soybeans to unknown confirmed the positive tone. Turning our weather attention to South America, planting conditions look decent, but if La Nina pops up Argentina could be in for dry weather. Informa Economics updated their 2012 acreage forecast this week. They are pegging soybean acres at 77 million acres as compared to this year’s 75 million planted acres and 77.4 million acres in 2010-11. For corn, they are at 93.1 million acres versus this year’s 91.9 million and 88.2 million in 2010-11. OUTLOOK: Soybeans have been put away and South American offers are diminishing, leaving the market to bid up to adequately fill the pipeline. In addition to firmer basis levels to encourage movement, the board will likely have to provide an incentive as well. November soybeans settled the week at $12.70 per bushel, up an eye-popping $1.11 3⁄4 for the week. Another run to $13.00 is likely in the short run, and possibly higher if growers hold fast. First support is viewed at $12.35 per bushel. Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ended Oct. 14: Minneapolis December wheat was the only loser, down 27 cents, while the Kansas City wheat was up 23 cents, and Chicago gained 15 1⁄4 cents. November crude oil jumped $3.82 higher to $86.80, heating oil up 19.7 cents, gasoline up 17.7 cents, and natural gas up 22.2 cents. As of mid-afternoon Oct. 14, the Dow was up 467 points for the week, the U.S. dollar index was 2.1 points lower, and gold rose $47.30 to $1,681.80 per ounce.

Calculating Estimated RP crop insurance payments

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

work quite well when a producer incurs general yield reductions due to drought or poor growing conditions, or when the harvest price drops lower than the initial base price. However, in situations when most crop losses were from severe storms and heavy rains that damaged some farms and not others, or damaged parts of farms, optional units are far superior to enterprise units, as far as potential for crop insurance indemnity payments. Producers with enterprise units who purchased supplemental hail insurance coverage as part of their overall risk management plan in 2011 may have qualified for some indemnity payments on farms with crop losses from hail storms during the growing season. Producers should contact their crop insurance agent to better understand insurance coverage with enterprise units, as compared to optional units, for the 2012 crop year. Calculating potential 2011 crop insurance payments Some farmers in Minnesota and surrounding states will be facing reduced yields on some farm units in 2011, due to heavy rains and severe storms. Many growers purchased upgraded levels of YP or RP crop insurance for the 2011 growing season. The recent drop in CBOT prices should lead to more favorable RP harvest prices, which could result in more producers qualifying for 2011 crop insurance indemnity payments. Following is an analysis of potential 2011 crop loss scenarios that could result in likely crop insurance indem-

PROGRAMS, from pg. 28A erage under “enterprise units,” which combines all acres of a crop in a given county into one crop insurance unit. As a result, crop insurance premium levels for policies with enterprise units were much more favorable than for policies utilizing “optional units.” Prior to 2009, most producers used optional units, which allow producers to insure corn and soybeans separately in each township section. Many more producers are now taking advantage of the lower premium levels with enterprise units, allowing them to upgrade to 80 percent or 85 percent RP coverage. Producers who have 2011 crop losses on individual farms, and have crop insurance coverage with optional units, may be able to collect crop insurance indemnity payments on their 2011 corn or soybean crop on some farm units, while not on others. Meanwhile, producers with crop insurance policies with enterprise units in 2011, may be less likely to qualify for 2011 crop insurance indemnity payments, unless they had crop losses on a significant portion of crop acres in a county. Due to the recent drop in CBOT crop prices, along with the low corn and soybean yields in some areas due to poor 2011 weather conditions, there are likely to be more producers with enterprise units that qualify for crop insurance indemnity payments in 2011, as compared to 2010. Many producers saw some significant savings in crop insurance premium costs in the past couple of years by switching to enterprise units, which

RP insurance policies An initial “price guarantee” is established for each crop prior to the crop insurance enrollment deadline on March 15 each year. The final price guarantee is determined at harvest time in the fall. The price guarantees are based off of CBOT grain futures prices. Following is how RP price guarantees are calculated. Corn Base price is the average settlement price for December CBOT corn futures in February. Harvest price for RP policies is the average settlement price for December CBOT corn futures in October during the year of harvest. Soybeans Base price is the average settlement price for November soybean futures in February.

green coffee beans from a 60-pound burlap bag. When his roaster signals that the temperature of the rotating drum is 450 degrees Fahrenheit, the beans drop with a rattle from a hopper into the drum. The heavy steel drum in Norgren’s Germanmade roaster is heated by gas from below. Super hot air swirls about the drum. The beans never rest. They fly back and forth and up and down. Norgren can watch the inferno through the roaster’s small glass window. He doesn’t. The digital eye of the computer connected to the roaster does a better job of monitoring time, temperature and quality than the naked eye. Computers have helped small artisan coffee roasters such as Norgren. But they merely free the craftsman to focus more on coffee’s subtleties. “Coffee is a commodity. Its value on the market is second only to oil,” Norgren says. “The big roasters buy entire shipping containers. But my business is small and I can buy one bag at a time. I look for a certain flavor profile within each origin and can enjoy the beauty of that.” When the roaster’s bell rings Norgren knows that a batch is ready. He looks like a magician as the hot beans pour out of the roaster and surround him in a billow of smoke. In a tray at the roaster’s mouth beans are stirred and blown with air for quick cooling. Still, they continue to crackle and pop like Rice Crispies. “I’m trying to bring out the mature sugars and caramels at this point,” he says as he inspects the beans. Making an excellent cup of coffee involves top-quality green beans, skillful roasting, a good grinder and good brewing equipment, Norgren says. Reality Roasters provides all of that in their various top-quality Mexican, Nicaraguan, Hawaiian, Guatemalan and other coffees. They even offer coffee drinkers brewing equipment. To prove his point Norgren opens a one-pound bag of Colombian coffee that is only available to his Cup of Excellence members. He brews it and presents a cup. I previously had two cups of coffee that were the best in my life. Now there are three. To learn more about Reality Roasters call Norgren at (320) 632-0050 or log on to www.realityroasters.com.

THE LAND, OCTOBER 21, 2011

MIELKE, from pg. 2B prices to be competitive but that’s no longer the case as exports have contributed much to achieve “strong positive prices for dairy farmers,” Speich said. “Keep in mind,” she said, “U.S. milk production has increased 1.6 percent this year and 60 percent of that additional output was exported so we have to make sure that our commitment to export markets stays and really do what’s needed to make our exports healthy and consistent.” The free trade agreements drew fire from the National Family Farm Coalition. Board president Ben Burkett stated, “The U.S. alone has lost 300,000 family farmers since NAFTA was implemented, and we don’t expect the lowered tariffs for beef and oranges to offset those numbers in the next 15 years.” Wisconsin farmer John Kinsman, who met with President Barack Obama and U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack at the White House Rural Forum in Podesta, Iowa, said; “We outlined our concerns about the trade agreements to the President and Secretary Vilsack, but they chose to ignore them. This Administration has, unfortunately, caved to the notion that any trade is good trade. They abandoned their campaign pledge to revisit our nation’s trade policies, despite the continued loss of family-scale producers and the rural communities behind them.” ■ Speaking of exports; the Cooperatives Working Together program accepted 10 requests for export assistance from Dairy Farmers of America and United Dairymen of Arizona to sell a total of 2.67 million pounds of Cheddar cheese to customers in Asia, North Africa and the Middle East. The product will be delivered through December and raises CWT’s 2011 cheese export total to 74.9 million pounds to 23 countries, the equivalent of 749 billion pounds of milk. In milk pricing news; California’s November Class I milk price is $20.26 per hundredweight for the north and $20.54 for the south, down $1.24 and $1.23 respectively from October, but $1.55 and $1.56 above November 2010, and equates to about $1.74 and $1.77 per gallon respectively. The drop pulled the 2011 average to $20.68 and $20.95, but both are $3.83 above a year ago. The Federal order Class I base price is announced by USDA on Oct. 21. ■ The Ag Department raised its 2011 milk production forecast again in its latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report. USDA blamed herd expansion “at a more rapid rate and milk per cow during summer increased more rapidly than expected.” Department bean counters project 2011 output at 195.9 billion pounds, up 200 million from last month’s estimate, and compares to 192.8 billion in 2010. The 2012 estimate was lowered as “forecast milk prices and weakening milk-feed ratios increase the pace of later year declines in cow numbers.” Look for 2012 output to hit 198.4 billion pounds, down 100 million pounds from September’s estimate. “International prices have been weaker which has put some pressure on butter and cheese prices,” USDA wrote. Butter and cheese price forecasts were reduced for 2012. NDM prices have also been under

MIELKE, from pg. 3B pressure from weakening international prices and although the forecast for 2011 is unchanged from last month, the price forecast for 2012 was reduced. Whey prices were raised for both 2011 and 2012 as demand is strong, according to USDA. The 2011 Class III milk price forecast was lowered, but for 2012 the higher whey price more than offsets a decline in the cheese price, and the Class III price forecast was raised. The 2011 Class III average is now expected to range $18.15-$18.25 per hundredweight, down from the $18.25-$18.45 expected last month, and compares to $14.41 in 2010. The 2012 average is now projected at $16.30-$17.20, up from the $16.10-$17.10 projected a month ago. The Class IV price was lowered for both years due to lower forecast butter and NDM prices. The 2011 average is now put at $19.05-$19.25, with the 2012 average projected at $16.30-$17.30 per hundredweight. The report also showed 2011 corn and soybean production estimates were reduced about 1 percent from the September projection but corn and soybean price projections were also lowered. The 2011-12 U.S. season-average farm price for corn was put at $6.20-$7.20 per bushel, down 30 cents on both ends of the range compared to a month ago. The 2011-12 U.S. seasonaverage soybean price remains in a wide range, $12.15-$14.15 per bushel, down 50 cents on both ends. Soybean meal prices were forecast at $335-$365 per ton for 2011-12, down $25 on both ends of the range. Cottonseed production for 2011 was forecast well below 2010, as was alfalfa and other dry hay. Milk production levels across the United States are following expected amounts, according to USDA’s weekly update. Northeast supplies are tight for needs in many cases as Class I and II demand is limiting manufacturing supplies. Good Class I demand in the Southeast is reported with increased loads being shipped into the region. Midwest milk is adequate for most needs with steady production. Milk components are slowly increasing. Western production is slowing seasonally, with some upticks in the Southwest as temperatures moderate. ■ California’s Milk Producers Council warned in its Oct. 7 newsletter that milk production in Australia and New Zealand is booming and “hard to not believe the short-term milk supply could swamp demand down there, raising the question about what effect it may have up here.” Cheese sales are holding up well, here, according to the MPC, “but U.S. economic data continues to indicate the recovery from the greatest economic recession this country has suffered may not get much better soon, and there has been some talk about the economies of France and Germany weakening. Since the U.S. milk producers are beyond the ‘tipping point’ all we can do is hang on right now and wait to see what happens.” ••• Lee Mielke is a syndicated columnist who resides in Everson, Wash.

HANCOCK, MN 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
