priced supply of food and fiber. Our good friend at the University of Tennessee, Daryll Ray, at the behest of the National Farmers Union, did ask. When Dr. D and his policy mechanics looked under the farm law’s hood they discovered that federal farm programs cost taxpayers $152.2 billion from 1998 to 2010. That doesn’t include the tens of billions of taxpayer-subsidized crop insurance to farmers over those same years. Moreover, if the United States had simply updated the previous farm bill’s grain reserve policies, Ray figures the federal farm bill tab for the same 13-year period would have been $56.4 billion — or a staggering $95.8 billion less than what was spent. Why isn’t that number and Ray’s analysis key parts of the today’s rushrush, hush-hush farm bill hustle? Because the hustlers, as usual, are in charge of the farm bill while you and me, well, we’re the ones gettin’ hustled. ••• Alan Guebert’s “Farm and Food File” is published weekly in more than 70 newspapers in North America.

— well, 95 percent of the income for farm bill crops such as corn, wheat, soybeans and cotton — would be protected. Poor you if you do something as non-ag as feed hogs or milk cows. Cows are exactly what the American Farm Bureau Federation had when it analyzed this out-of-the-dark idea of swapping more crop insurance for direct payments. In a warmly worded, three-page letter to every senator Oct. 17, AFBF Prez Bob Stallman slammed the swap as a “moral hazard” that would bring more risk into farming, drive up land costs and create “a further barrier of entry for young farmers and (become) another factor driving further farm consolidation.” Way to go, Big Bob. All this activity — there’s even urgent talk that a complete 2012 farm bill will be stitched together before Nov. 1, again, without one public hearing or witness — flies right past any debate of reforming or rewriting the current law. In short, no one is asking whether today’s remodeled version of 1996’s Freedom to Farm remains the best instrument to ensure the nation an adequate, fairly

Views on Panama, Colombia and South Korea free trade agreements
USGC: Trade pacts could mean $13 billion extra The U.S. Grains Council salutes Congress on final passage of the longstalled free trade agreements with Panama, Colombia and South Korea. These agreements provide significant benefits for U.S. agricultural trade and the U.S. economy by leveling the playing field in markets where U.S. producers have been laboring under an unfair competitive disadvantage. Ratification of the agreements provides for immediate duty-free access for most U.S. goods, creating opportunities for increases in U.S. agricultural exports which will generate economic growth and U.S. jobs. The agreements are expected to gener-
ate roughly $13 billion in additional export revenue, with approximately $11 billion of the total flowing to South Korea. “This is great news,” said USGC Chairman Wendell Shauman. “Our farmer leaders have been working hard with Congressional members to demonstrate the benefits of U.S. agricultural trade. Their hard work has paid off.” Shauman and Thomas C. Dorr, USGC president and CEO, will travel to Colombia and Panama in the near future for meetings with private sector and governmental leaders aimed at regaining U.S. grain exports to the region.

tural exports have lost market share in both countries in recent years because other exporting countries have negotiated their own free-trade agreements, excluding the United States, while the U.S. trade agreements remained stalled. In 2007, for example, Colombia imported 3 million tons of corn with the United States enjoying a 95 percent market share. In 2010, however, imports fell to 700,000 metric tons and U.S. market share shrunk to less than 20 percent.
“With a level playing field, the United States has an excellent chance of winning back these markets,” Shauman said. We have a shipping advantage from the Gulf Ports, and we have historically been a trusted partner and preferred provider for grain exports in the Caribbean Basin. It’s great to be back in the game.” ••• This commentary was submitted by the U.S. Grains Council.
Vilsack: FTAs good for jobs Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack made the following statement on President Obama signing into law three trade agreements and workers’ assistance expected to support tens of thousands of American jobs. “Today, President Obama signed a major piece of his jobs agenda into law: new trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama. These agreements will support tens of thousands of jobs here at home, put unemployed Americans back to work, and open new opportunities for American businesses. For America’s farmers and ranchers, the trade agreements are an opportunity to strengthen U.S. agriculture, already a bright spot in our economy. “Farm exports help support more than 1 million American jobs. This year
and next, U.S. agricultural exports are on track to reach new highs, leading to a trade surplus of over $42 billion, eight times greater than five years ago. When implemented, these three agreements will increase farm exports by an additional $2.3 billion — supporting nearly 20,000 American jobs — by eliminating tariffs, removing barriers to trade and leveling the playing field for U.S. producers. “Overall, these agreements are a win for the American economy — they mean higher incomes for farmers and ranchers, more opportunities for small business owners and jobs for folks who package, ship and market agricultural products.” ••• This statement was submitted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation is pleased that Congress passed the three bilateral free-trade agreements between the United States and Korea, Colombia and Panama, as well as, Trade Adjustment Assistance. “The free trade agreements with Korea, Colombia and Panama have been stalled for several years causing major trading opportunities to diminish. Swift implementation is critical so we can restore a level playing field for U.S. farm exports to these three nations,” said MFBF President Kevin Paap. “We thank the members of Minnesota’s Congressional delegation who voted for the passage of these three trade agreements.” Paap said that economic analysis performed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service estimates that annual direct U.S. agricultural exports to Korea, Colombia and Panama will increase by nearly
$2.5 billion per year upon full implementation of the agreements. In total, the agreements are expected to increase direct exports from Minnesota by more than $99 million per year. The agreements will particularly increase trade for pork, beef, soybeans, corn, dairy and processed food and fish, resulting in nearly 900 additional jobs in Minnesota. “The economic growth generated from the agreements is important to farmers and ranchers, and it is important for job creation in Minnesota and throughout the United States,” Paap said. ••• This commentary was submitted by the Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation, representing farmers, families, food comprised of 78 local Farm Bureau associations across Minnesota.

NCGA: FTAs help U.S. catch up The National Corn Growers Association praised passage of the free trade agreements in the House and Senate. “The three free trade agreements with Korea, Colombia and Panama provide great opportunities for America’s farmers,” NCGA President Garry Niemeyer, a corn farmer from Auburn, Ill., said. “Passage by Congress ensures our industry continues to lead the nation in economic growth and international competitiveness. In addition, this action shows members of Congress understand the importance of the FTAs to rural America.” Statistics show passage of the three FTAs could create 250,000 American jobs and add an additional $13 billion annually in exports. The United States continues to be the largest producer and exporter of corn in the world, exporting 50.4 million metric tons last year. Since the EU-Korea trade agreement went into

U.S. farmers have already lost more than $1 billion in sales to Colombia in the two years since that country implemented a trade deal with Argentina and Brazil. The Colombia-Canada Free Trade Agreement that took effect Aug. 15 has also put U.S. workers and farmers at a disadvantage. “Prior to Congress’ passage of the FTAs, farmers watched as other nations received access to markets over the United States,” Niemeyer said. “We need to keep and create jobs in America. The FTAs will help us achieve that.” ••• This commentary was submitted by the National Corn Growers Association.

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>
The American Soybean Association is celebrating Congressional passage of the U.S. Free Trade Agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama that represent nearly $3 billion of additional agriculture exports to these trading partners. ASA applauds President Barack Obama and Congress for working together to reach a final vote and urges the administration to ensure that these FTAs enter into force by Jan. 1, 2012. “ASA has been working for a number of years toward passage of these trade agreements, which contain significant export gains for U.S. agriculture.” said ASA President Alan Kemper, a soybean producer from Lafayette, Ind. “Increased exports of U.S. soy and soy-fed meat and poultry will benefit soybean farmers and rural economies. After nearly five years of delays and loss of U.S. market share, soybean farmers look forward to realizing the opportunities these FTAs provide for America’s economic growth.” The Korea FTA offers immediate duty-free access to U.S. soybeans for crushing and to U.S. soybean meal. It also opens up South Korea’s food-grade soybean imports to the private sector. The agreement will increase exports of the major grain, oilseed, fiber, fruit and vegetable, and livestock products by $1.8 billion annually, according to economic forecasts by the American Farm Bureau Federation. The Colombia FTA will create new opportunities for U.S. soybean farmers in the Colombian market by immediately eliminating tariffs ranging from 5 to 20 percent on soybeans, soybean meal and soybean flour, and phasing-out the 24 percent tariffs for crude soybean oil and refined soybean oil over five years.

Letter: Return to common sense To the Editor: The Oct. 3 Bluff Country Reader points out one of the problems that livestock men in Houston County, Minn., have with the Pollution Control Agency. I was a member of the legislature when the PCA was created back in the 1960s. While the bill was being considered primarily to handle human waste, it also would be applied to animal waste. It gave the state agency tremendous powers which, if incorrectly applied to animal waste would destroy the industry. Manure is an excellent organic fertilizer, as is carbon dioxide, and many other trace elements found in the soil. So we wrote into the Minnesota Law, chapter 106.06, a provision that excluded manure from the law by defining it as fertilizer. The problem is that since 1967 the government has passed another bill, the Clean Water Act. Under the Clean Water Act the agency simply goes out and declares a stream, no matter how small, as degraded and they are going to make it cleaner than it has ever been. They come out to a farm with livestock and make rules so expensive that many farmers are
forced to sell the cows and get out of business. Good stewardship of the land many times requires grass or legumes in the rotation and they can only be converted to food through livestock. A stream of water is a living thing. Mother Nature has for millions of years recycled the life-giving nutrients that may start with the growing grass which is food for the cow whose droppings are food for the fish and the grass. The fish, grass, milk and beef are food for humans, other animals etc. It is an endless cycle of life. The government (who is here to help us) under threat of heavy fines will force us to change our life so that no more organic fertilizer goes into the creek. Very seldom do individuals drink directly from the creek. Is the water any different than when the huge herds of buffalo roamed the area. One problem — telling the deer, coon and other animals that they can’t use the water for a bathroom. The biggest problem of all, where will a fish find a place to go? When are we going to get back to common sense? Al Schumann Eyota, Minn.

Let’s grow more sheep one flock at a time By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Appropriately titled “Let’s Grow with Two Plus,” a special media event at the Jeremy and Tracy Geske farmstead Oct. 12 featured six Minnesota sheep producers and Burton Pfliger, a veteran North Dakota sheep man who also is secretary-treasurer of the American Sheep Industry. The ambitious goals of the ASI as presented by this team are: Goal 1 — In smaller flocks, increase at least two ewes per flock; in ewe flocks of 100 ewes or more increase two ewes per 100 head. Goal 2 — Increase the average birth rate to two lambs per ewe. Nationally the figure is only about 1.5 lambs per ewe today. Goal 3 — Increase the harvested lamb crop by 2

percent, which would be an increase of 67,500 lambs marketed. The projected deadline for these goals is 2014. If the goals are met, it would mean an additional 175,000 ewes and an additional 254,000 lambs. An expansion of the U.S. sheep industry couldn’t happen at a better time. The industry is experiencing record high demand for both wool and meat with a net result of historically high lamb prices “Nationwide these increases would result in a sheep inventory of 315,000 more lambs. At today’s market prices that equates to $71 million more dollars in the bank account of America’s sheep producers. Plus there would be an additional 2 million more pounds of wool with a market value of $3 million more dollars in the hands of producers,” Pfliger said. He also noted that for every 1,000 ewes there are an additional 18 jobs created. These increases projected in the sheep inventory would create or save more than 6,700 jobs. A major objective of the “Let’s Grow” initiative of ASI is to encourage new producers into the industry. “We’ve teamed up with a network of state associations which will serve as mentors working with these new producers,” he said mentioning the website www.growourflock.org as being an excellent source at your fingertips for the latest in management and marketing information. The ASI website, www.sheepusa.org, provides a state-by-state breakdown of sheep numbers, plus a listing of the various breed associations and resources on auction barns, feeder lamb sources and marketing outlets for marketing both lambs and older sheep. The Bismarck, N.D., producer told of his dad starting their flock in 1967. “Apparently sheep didn’t have a positive financial reputation so when my Dad went to the bank for a sheep loan, they turned him down but did loan him money to buy a new pickup. He didn’t buy the pickup but instead bought sheep. I was about 4 years old at the time,” Pfliger said. Today he runs a commercial operation of 300 to 350 ewes but that includes 40 head of registered

Hampshire and 40 head of registered Suffolk that he uses to produce both terminal rams for himself and other producers in his region. Record high prices for market lambs would suggest heavier lambs being processed these days. But not necessarily so. Like any livestock enterprise, feed prices are the challenge. He buys most of his corn. This year with corn pushing $7 he sold most of his lambs at 110 pounds because it didn’t pay to put on more weight. He did take some lambs to 140 pounds but they netted only $11 more per lamb than the 110-pounders. His take on the growth of the sheep industry, especially in view of the higher feed costs and pasture costs? “I think it will grow. These markets are exciting and creating new interest. At a sale just recently, I saw farmers who had been in the business years back but sold out in the early 2000s when fat lambs were down to about 50-cents a pound. But these guys were back at the sale barn buying ewes again. “At this sale I saw some of these guys going through the pens of ewe lambs picking out lambs to See SHEEP, pg. 15A
Some former sheep producers flocking back to industry an area ethanol plant. I’m glad we chose sheep for our hobby farm.” John Dvorak, a Webster, Minn., producer with purebred Hampshire and Dorset, used to be a 40cow dairy farmer but lean times in the milking business prompted him to sell the cows and get a day-time job. “But the kids were devastated when we sold the cows. So we soon bought some sheep and it seemed we were in the rabbit business, the numbers went up so fast.” The sheep were great for family life with he and his children showing sheep at various fairs. He was soon providing six to seven processed lambs to a local store specializing in locally grown food products, especially farm-reared lamb. Because of his personal health, Dvorak has cut back to 40 ewes with most sold into the breeding market. “Sheep are a good niche-farming enterprise. You can get by with minimal equipment costs and space. We need to build our industry because it’s pretty obvious the market is growing. And if we don’t provide the product, imported lamb from Australia and elsewhere will be there.” Don Adelmann, of Cologne, Minn., labels himself as a small commercial sheep producer. “We only have 40 ewes. I started with one lamb and one goat. Today I sell some of my lambs into the ethnic market. And because I’m close to the Twin Cities that can sometimes be a good outlet.” He told of four men who stopped at his farm. See SHEEP, pg. 16A

labor, we re-evaluate and find ways to be more efficient with both,” said Persons who uses select culling and building with elite ewe lambs. He said it is imperative that industry members take the increased demand for more lamb seriously and he encourages sheep producers to increase their numbers. He said membership in the MLWPA as well as information from the Pipestone Sheep Program and the Pipestone Veterinary Clinic can be tremendously helpful especially for newbies in the sheep business. Kroger and Walmart want more lamb Lamb processors are clamoring for a great supply of lamb. In 2011, Kroger, one of America’s largest grocery store chains, launched an American lamb branded campaign to sell more American-grown product. Walmart also made a commitment to exclusively carry American lamb in its stores. Glenwood, Minn., producer Randy Kinney is a state director of the MLWPA. He used to live in St. Paul but now has an 83-acre hobby farm that houses his 80-ewe flock. “This started as a hobby. I still have my day-time job but really do enjoy working with the sheep. The investment was low. We use an old dairy barn for lambing and feeding.” Kinney uses the Polypay breed, noted for their prolificacy. “Not the best quality wool but lots of lambs. A 200-percent lamb crop is quite doable with this breed. And my feeding program is basically what I can find in leftover residue, be that from a local sweet corn plant, or culled potatoes, or DDGs from

SHEEP, from pg. 14A be auctioned off separately. So today there is a tremendous demand for replacement ewes. And perhaps a goodly number of feeder lambs will in fact get sorted out with good females kept for the replacement market.” He doubts that feed costs impact these decisions because sheep typically can utilize some of these non-traditional feedstuffs. Both commercial sheep people and “hobby” farmers are in the market with yearling ewes bringing up to $400 at a recent Bowman, N.D., sale. Pfliger controls costs through his rotation pasture program which involves four native-grass pastures. Each pasture gets three weeks of rest in between each grazing. “Helps to break that worm cycle and it rejuvenates the grass so it grows longer into the season. It’s a mix of blue gamma, side oats and needle grass. I call it the good stuff that God put out there eons ago.” Dan Persons, a Kensington, Minn., commercial producer is only 10 years into the sheep business starting with 50 ewes. Today he runs a 1,000-ewe flock and markets about 1,300 lambs each year. He lambs both the traditional January-May period but also breeds several ewes for an October lambing. That fall lambing is basically to lessen the JanuaryMay load. Persons is past president of the Minnesota Lamb and Wool Producers Association. He’s encouraged with the new optimism that he senses among established sheep producers plus the strong interest by hobby farmers who see a small ewe flock as a niche marketing opportunity. “We plan to increase our flock by 5 to 10 percent per year for the next several years.

Farm becomes one big, woolly classroom for students By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Renville County, Minn., sheep producer Brad Myers hosted 215, fifth grade students at his farm in mid-October as part of a four-farm visit sponsored by the Renville County HRA/Ag Energy committee. There were five bus loads arriving about every hour. “These visits are as rewarding for me as they are for the students. They’ve asked some very intelligent questions. It recharges me. I’m excited that they are interested in agriculture. Anymore there aren’t enough young people caring about farming and agriculture,” Myers said. “In my industry I go west to buy my breeding stock and my feeder lambs. At
these sale barns I see the seats filled with 65 to 75-year old farmers and ranchers. That scares the dickens out of me.We need these younger kids to get excited about agriculture. I think it’s up to us older people to help generate this interest.” Myers and his son Dusty operate Middle Creek Sheep Farm which involves 900-acres crop farming, an 800-ewe lambing operation and a 3,500-head yearly feeder lamb business. Despite record prices in the sheep business he talked of three limitations. “There’s an attitude in this country that doesn’t like the hard work that’s part of the sheep business. They’d rather do the 9-to-5 jobs with weekends off. Plus they don’t like dealing with snow storms in their feedlots and muddy yards in the

SHEEP, from pg. 15A “They didn’t have even a special knife so I borrowed my knife to them and they butchered 13 that day.” Breeding sheep for the seedstock market is the practice of Rex Quam, Wanamingo, Minn., seedstock producer of both Suffolk and Hampshire breeding stock. He does some fall lambing and lambs out about 100 of his ewes each spring. He’s generating premium prices for his product by doing embryotransfer work and then selling that seedstock via the internet, Facebook and other electronic technologies. “This year we’ve sold seedstock into 14 states via the internet and always with a premium price,” Quam said. He took online courses with the Pipestone Veterinary Clinic to get into the handson process of embryo transfer work. He also attends various sheep industry shows to build his network of potential buyers. Quam is now on the National Suffolk Sheep Board of Directors. Starting as a 9-year-old 4-H’er, Geske shared how his dad let him pick two ewes which eventually became the seedstock for his purebred Suffolk operation. He mostly sells breeding stock with
many of his rams sold as terminal sires to western range producers. “Ram prices have been good. At a recent sale in western South Dakota, breeding rams averaged nearly $1,000 per animal,” Geske said. The Geske family moved to his New Prague farmstead in 2010. The rather pretentious building that is now his sheep barn used to be a boutique shop. The building still features special directional ceiling lighting fixtures, varnished walls, designer windows, even ceiling fans. Geske is doing his part in the “Let’s Grow” campaign increasing from 30 ewes last year to more than 40 currently with plans for more. “Management is the key to success in this industry. Thanks to the Pipestone program and good help from growers within our own association there are lots of educational opportunities for potential producers,” Geske said. According to U.S. Department of Agriculture data, Minnesota has about 2,500 sheep producers with over half being flocks of 25 ewes or less. In South Dakota over half the flocks total 100 ewes or more.
200-percent lamb crop lessens ewe flock longevity lambs in California, truck them to Minnesota, then ship them back to Colorado to be slaughtered.” The 150-pound market weight is their benchmark since that weight fits well with the genetics they purchase. “But probably more important is the
packer that buys our fed lambs. Their customers prefer that stronger weight lamb.” The majority of Middle Creek Farm lambs go to JBS at Greeley, Colo., with 300 to 330 per load, nonstop 747 miles to the packing house.

MYERS, from pg. 16A A big dog came lopping into the yard as Myers talked with the students. He told them this is the dog that guards his sheep. It’s a Great Pyrenees (up to 120 pounds mature weight) that he purchased 12 years ago. He told the students, “Coyotes used to kill our lambs and ewes right in these pens even after we installed yard lights for each pen. One night a single coyote killed 34 lambs in one pen. But since we got our dog, we haven’t lost a single sheep to coyotes.” Because of coyotes, it doesn’t work to pasture his ewes on the farm. Instead he rents pasture in North Dakota, about 25 miles west of Bismarck. Last season he shipped 428 ewes to North Dakota and brought 422 back to the farm (about 425 miles one way). Middle Creek Farm lambs one group in January; the next group in February; the third group in March. “We want to be done by April so we can plant corn,” Myers said, but with an ultimate goal of 1,000 ewes they already are making plans to increase the size of their current lambing barn (to handle 300 ewes at one time). They drop about 180 lambs per 100 ewes with a marketing goal of 170 to 175 lambs per 100 ewes. He acknowledges a 200-percent lamb crop is doable but it lessens the longevity of his ewes, “and you’re working with more prolific breeds which tend to bring down your wool quality. Plus you’re often dealing with orphan lambs, bottle-fed lambs and other nuances. It’s a time thing with us.” Most of his feeder lambs are purchased from Dakota, Montana and Wyoming ranchers. “Anymore it’s nearly impossible to buy a load of feeder lambs out of Texas. The ethnic trade is taking nearly all the lambs down there. But we still buy some lambs out of California, even Oregon. Freight has become a bigger issue and because a lot of our competitors have their feedlots in northern Colorado it’s cost prohibitive to buy feeder

Faribault Woolen Mills is again a market for Minnesota wool
“Where Farm and Family Meet”
Chuck Mooty, new owner of the Faribault (Minn.) Woolen Mills, indicated his facility is a steady market for Minnesota-produced wool. The firm has a major contract with the U.S. Army to supply much of the clothing for U.S. military personnel wherever they are stationed. Until purchased by Mooty and his cousin, this historic business had been shut down for several years. “Now we’ve got 177,000 square feet of floor space; we’ve mended and repaired all the equipment. Today we are the only totally integrated fabric mill in the United States,” Mooty said. Depending upon the availability, price and quality, the firm uses both domestic and imported wool. Exciting for them and the Minnesota wool industry is the fact that Faribault Woolen will be opening a “Made in America” shop in the Mall of America in November. “We’re making every effort to bring back the textile industry to America that had pretty much gone offshore in recent years,” Mooty said. — Dick Hagen, The Land staff writer

Tamarack: Culmination of the search for the complete sheep By TIM KING The Land Correspondent HINCKLEY, Minn. — Janet McNally of Tamarack Lamb & Wool has been working toward a goal these last three decades or more. That goal is what she calls a complete sheep. The result is that she has developed a well-muscled, growthy sheep that averages 2.8 lambs. “Our goal has been to select for a number of traits,” said McNally, who has focused on developing a meat animal. “We are working for a balanced animal that is high in growth, muscle,
milk, numbers born and numbers weaned. Our objective is to have rams that are superior all across the board. It takes a long time. It took me 10 years to get just one ram that was positive in all traits. It’s a slow, tedious process but you are rewarded when you have animals with all those traits.” It actually took longer than 10 years to develop that ram. Before McNally could begin using the technology that has brought her close to her goal she had to adjust her thinking. “I set out as a 20-something college

Traits of complete sheep change with industry TAMARACK, from pg. 18A Dorset industry has changed a lot since the ’70s. It has been increasingly difficult to find a real Dorset any more. By a real Dorset I mean that heavy-muscled, medium-sized sheep that thrives on pasture. I became discouraged and even quit registering my ewes because I couldn’t find rams that were really Dorsets.” In 1991, she enrolled in the National Sheep Improvement Program. Her objective was to conduct objective performance testing to fur-
ther improve her flock. “NSIP quit for a short while in 1995 so, not wanting to stop the performance testing, I went with LambPlan in Australia in 1996,” McNally said. “We’ve been on a BLUP, which is best linear unbiased prediction, since then. It’s an objective way to pull out the environment from your weights and measures. I can determine which animals are genetically superior for growth, for milk, and for carcass traits like loin eye depth and fat depth. I’ve been using this technology since 1991 and it’s been an incredibly powerful
tool.” “I take measurements on all the usual stuff, the birth date, the dam, sire, whether it’s a single, twin, or triplet,” she said. “Most people take that. Then I take a 100-day weight. That’s my weaning weight. Then we take a 150-day weight as a post-weaning weight. At 150 days we also measure the loin eye and fat depth through ultra-sound scanning.” “It’s also important to have the location that the lamb was reared in,” McNally said. “If you have a number of pens in the barn it’s important to record which one it was reared in.” She also keeps track of the multiple pasture locations as well. “If you want to enroll in LambPlan they’ll set you up with a software program that you enter your data that you’ve been keeping into and then send it to them. Within two weeks to a month you’ll get a report,” McNally said. “It’s all managed in your software,” she said. “I can get up to 30 different reports. I can rank my animals by my own index which I’ve had developed for me or I can have them ranked by other indexes such as the self-replacing carcass index. There are also wool indexes and indexes for dual-purpose sheep. I can rank your animals according to the index and then go out to the paddock, run them through a chute, and pick out your top producing animals.” During the 1990s, while McNally was learning to apply the NSIP and LambPlan technologies to her selection practices, she continued to look for a Dorset-like sheep. “In the late-’90s the Ile-de-France breed was brought into the states,” she said. “What captured my attention about that breed is that it’s a yeararound breeder. It’s used in France for out-of-season lambing. It’s the oldest performance tested breed there is. They were the first, back in the 1930s, to use modern selection tools and performance testing. The result is that this breed is one of the heaviest muscled breeds in the United Kingdom. In the U.K. it became a very popular terminal sire but in France it actually is used as a maternal breed. So it has both the pounds of lamb emphasis and the carcass and growth qualities. Additionally it’s been selected on a more forage-based diet.” The Ile-de-France sounded like a perfect genetic platform to continue breeding for the complete sheep.
“I’ve been using Ile-de-France and some Dorset from the K bar K flock,” McNally said. “Our selection goals are similar. I’m not trying to be a terminal sire breed or just a maternal breed. I’m trying to be what LambPlan calls a replacing flock which is where my sheep can do well in a cross-breeding program but they do just fine as the full breeding program. They are also very suitable for farm flocks where maybe the flock size is a little too small to try and maintain two breeds to carry out a cross-breeding program. With anything under 100 ewes it’s rather complicated to keep several different breeds of rams on hand. This is just one breed that will produce a nice crop of lambs you can take to market.” As McNally has worked to develop her complete sheep, which she calls a Tamarack, the industry has continued to change. In 2010, NSIP signed a contract to have LambPlan analyze their data. Shortly after the NSIP/LambPlan agreement took place McNally signed up to have her data compared to all the U.S. sheep in the NSIP pool. “What joining the NSIP pool does is that it makes our numbers more meaningful to a potential buyer,” she said. “When they look at a rating number for growth, for example, they can take that number and compare it to another flock. I feel it’s a better service to my buyers for them to know how we stand compared to the other flocks.” McNally encourages others who are breeding seedstock to use NSIP and LambPlan as one of the tools in their herd improvement plan. “With 150 breeding ewes it’s costing me around $700 to $800 per year,” she said. “If you’re selling seedstock your buyers should be happy to compensate you for that. With a strictly commercial flock it’s a little harder to say whether you should use it or just buy rams where the technology has been used.” McNally encourages newcomers to the technology to mentor with an experienced BLUP user. It will help ensure data quality and the usefulness of their results. She said that owners of small flocks may be able to enter a number of years’ data at one time when they enroll. Quality and quantity of data help ensure that a breeder can move toward their improvement goals, she said. You can learn more about Tamarack Lamb and Wool at their website www.TamarackSheep.com or by calling McNally at (320) 336-9071.

Improving lamb feed efficiency adds pounds, dollars Feed efficiency by definition is the required amount of feed needed to produce a pound of gain or lamb. Currently, sheep producers who can reduce their feed efficiency by a half of a pound can expect to save around $10 per lamb. The largest impact on lamb feed efficiency, next to genetics, will be the type and quality of the feed ration provided. Research has shown that lambs from birth to 45 days require diets containing 20 percent protein. From 45 to 85 days lambs require a 16 percent protein diet and older lambs to market require 13 percent protein diets. Energy requirements increase as the lamb grows which is different than protein. Energy consumption must continuously increase as the lamb gets heavier. Providing a high-quality, palatable, balanced ration is important but there are several management practices that entice lambs to consume
more feed and consequently enhance lamb performance. Research has documented that young lambs are more efficient than older lambs. The following are a list of management practices that aid in lamb performance. Provide fresh clean feed by using a self feeder that does not allow lambs to get their feet into, has a trough height of about 14 to 16 inches and allow for 1 to 2 inches of space for each lamb. Provide plenty of fresh clean water because lambs need to drink about one quart of water for every pound of feed they eat. Night light over the self feeder area will increase consumption
by 10 to 20 percent. Make sure light shines on the feed trough. Provide plenty of air movement especially during hot humid weather, this means adding a fan especially when day temperatures exceed 80 F. Shear all March and earlier born lambs that weigh less than 90 pounds in the first part of June. With the right feed rations, good genetics and proper common sense management, sheep producers can raise lambs with excellent feed efficiency. Any breakdowns in the quality of the feed ration, genetics or management can reduce lamb efficiency. The Pipestone Lamb and Wool pro-
gram revolves around efficient labor use, low input costs, high production levels and intensive management. Instructors in the program work with sheep producers in the Pipestone area and around the world through the Member Producer Program, short courses, tours, newsletters and distance delivered courses.

Favorable conditions in Oceania and rising seasonal production are expected to pressure prices and increase competition particularly for 2012 U.S. dairy exports. Milk production in the Southwest United States is trending steady with minor variations, according to the USDA. Processing plants are generally running well with some taking downtime for maintenance. Additional volumes of milk are moving out of the region to supplement needs toward the Southeast where milk output is steady to slightly higher. Class I needs are high in Florida. Northeast milk production is steady and at levels where processing schedules are light after the good pull for Class I needs. Midwest output is trending lower seasonally in the upper tier of states, with the supply often sporadic to fill local orders. Gains are noted in solids of incoming milk. Southern areas impacted by drought are seeing movements of milk cows to other states. The milk production season is off to a great start in the Oceania region. Accounts report New Zealand milk intakes at up to 13 percent above year-ago levels and note that milk procurement schedules are tight in getting the milk off the farms. Australian output is also trending upwards with early season growth levels reported at 1 to 4 percent above a year ago, according to the USDA. Dairy product prices are “drifting” in early season trading. Competition from U.S. and EU products, weaker Euro values, and slower international demand are impacting the Oceania region, according to the USDA. Supplies are building as milk production season builds. Processing plants are running heavy schedules to handle the growing milk supplies.

1.6 cents, the highest since August 2007. ■ Feed prices are expected to remain relatively high through the end of 2011 and into 2012, according to the USDA’s latest Livestock, Dairy and Poultry Outlook. Corn prices were forecast at $6.20 to $7.20 per bushel for the 2011-12 crop year, a small reduction from September’s forecast, and is based on higher reported carry-in stocks and slightly lower projected corn exports. The soybean meal price forecast was lowered from September to $335 to $365 per ton for the 2011-12 marketing year, based on a lowered forecast of soybean exports in October. Preliminary estimates put alfalfa prices at $196 per ton in September in the face of almost 5 percent lower production in 2011. Significant relief from the current prices level is not likely until next spring, the USDA warned. The U.S. dairy herd continues to expand more rapidly than anticipated and is expected to reach 9.2 million head. Yield per cow has also risen more rapidly than anticipated and is forecast at 21,300 pounds, an increase from September estimates. The report said “output per cow may not have been as diminished by the hot summer temperatures as expected.” The 2012 dairy herd is expected to contract to 9.19 million head. This forecast represents both a year-over-year decline and a decline from the September 2012 forecast. Although corn and soybean meal prices have been revised down, they remain high by historic levels, according to the USDA, and continued expected high alfalfa prices along with lower milk prices will likely stimulate a herd reduction in 2012. The report said “these fundamentals will also limit the rise in output per cow next year, which is forecast at 21,600 pounds, despite an extra milking day in 2012.

When consumers were asked in a nationwide survey to identify the Top 5 topics they want more information about related to where their food comes from, “how antibiotics are used” made their list. When farmers and ranchers were asked which Top 5 topics were most important to educate consumers about, they identified “the effect of pesticides, fertilizers and antibiotics in food.”

This survey undertaken in August by Ketchum Global Research Network and Braum Research on behalf of the U.S. Farmers & Ranchers Alliance underscores the importance of consumers, farmers and ranchers all having access to accurate, science-based information about antibiotics use in food animal production. A national symposium devoted to this precise topic was held this week in Chicago. “Antibiotic Use in Food Animal Production: A Dialogue for a Common Purpose,” hosted by the National Institute for Animal Agriculture, focused on four key areas. • The use of antibiotics in food animal production • Human health implications relative to antibiotic use • Understanding and communicating the risks associated with methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in livestock • Identifying additional research needs regarding how and to what extent antimicrobial resistance develops in humans and animals “We’re going to look at antibiotic use in food animal production from all angles,” Len Bull, chair of the symposium planning committee, said prior to the symposium. “This is not a blackand-white issue. It’s one where we need to delve into the gray areas as
well and see what science tells and shows us.
“While I realize that this topic can be quite polarized, I think we each can learn from the presenters and each other. The symposium is designed to be a dialogue, so symposium registrants can ask their burning questions and hear the answers from the experts.” The symposium took place at the Intercontinental Hotel, O’Hare, Chicago, Ill., Oct. 26 and Oct. 27. The symposium immediately followed the 2011 Food System Summit, Oct. 25-26, hosted by the Center for Food Integrity at the same venue.

Grain Outlook Farmer selling less than normal
Livestock Angles Grain Angles Cattle acting Risk management erratically lately key to survival
Editor’s Note: Tim Emslie, Country Hedging market analyst, is sitting in this week for Phyllis Nystrom, the regular “Grain Outlook” columnist. ■ The following market analysis is for the week ending Oct. 21. CORN — Corn harvest crossed the 50 percent threshold during the week, having been 47 percent done as of Oct. 16. New selling is typically weighted toward the back half of harvest, but farmer selling has been less than normal so far this year, resulting in strong cash TIM EMSLIE Country Hedging markets and tightening spreads. St. Paul The eastern Corn Belt harvest has been delayed by substantial rainfall, while western Corn Belt states have had much more favorable weather during October. Strong basis levels are being reported at ethanol plants in Indiana and Ohio as a result of the delays. There are several other factors that are contributing to the reluctant farmer selling this harvest. There is plenty of available storage due to the overall low stocks level, and the fast dry-down of this year’s crop means less drying and an easier transition to long-term storage. This was the week that the recent 900,000 metric tons sale of corn to China was incorporated into the weekly export sales report, resulting in the highest weekly total since last March when sizable sales to China were also registered. The total of 1.76 million mt was actually per-
As we end October, the livestock markets seem to have lost some of their volatility. However given the state of the markets in general it is likely we will see that volatility return in the weeks ahead. This could lead to some sharp and quick moves to both cattle and hogs. The cattle market has seen some pretty erratic price moves in the past several weeks. Cash cattle prices have advanced then declined only to return back higher again. During this time the futures led the cash markets to these sharp moves and eventually closing higher. The small problem that has JOE TEALE effected the cattle market in the Broker past is still the problem today. Great Plains Commodity Afton The beef cutout reaches the $185 per hundredweight area and the volume in the boxed beef begins to drop. This continues to reflect domestic retail resistance at these higher levels. With competitive meats at much lower wholesale prices, it will be hard for the beef market to make any significant advances without the meats making advances in prices also. Demand will continue to be the key for price direction in the weeks ahead. On the supply side, the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Oct. 21, released the Monthly Cattle on Feed Report. The results were as follows: On-feed, 105 percent; placements, 100 percent; marketed, 101 percent, all as in comparison to last year. The report was seen as slightly negative as placements and on-feed numbers were higher than estimates.
As we wrap up harvest and prepare for winter, we look back on an amazing year in the markets. Clearly, there was no lack of drama and more than enough volatility to cause sleepless nights. Everywhere that we look, we see risk and opportunity. It seems to be human nature to focus on one of these sets of circumstances more than the other. If we are bullish, we tend to focus on the opportunities. While, if we are bearish, the risks are all that we can see. It takes a great deal of discipline to maintain a healthy balance in this current market environment. TOM NEHER Risk is defined as the “potential AgStar VP Agribusiness that a chosen action or activity & Grain Specialist (including the choice of inaction) Rochester will lead to a loss (an undesirable outcome).” The last several years the grain markets have rewarded those who accepted the risk of “inaction.” Those that did nothing in the way of proactive, pre-harvest marketing and simply held on to their grain unpriced until after harvest; were rewarded with higher prices. This is unusual market behavior and there is little historical evidence to support this as a profitable, ongoing practice. The power of regret (and anticipation of regret) can play a significant part in decision-making. We look back on what marketing strategies we should have used the last couple of years and we feel a sense of regret about lost opportunities. The emotional components are oddly human. We feel worse about selling $6 corn and watching it trade

Slowing Chinese economy could doom U.S. exports production was 908,000 barrels per day, or 38.1 million gallons per day. Ethanol margins retreated slightly from an early week high that was the highest since November 2010. Cattle and hog feeding margins are also quite strong. Friday’s Cattle on Feed report showed the number of cattle on feed and placements higher than expected, bearish for cattle, but bullish for corn. OUTLOOK: The December contract essentially right at the technically significant 200-day moving average of $6.49 this week, finishing up 9.25 cents for the week. The strong cash markets indicate that the early October low of $5.72 was probably the seasonal low. Key retracement levels of the drop from the lateAugust high to the early October low are $6.52, and then $6.76.
MARKETING
Hogs run into resistance; prices fall back Export business has remained good, however with the U.S. dollar remaining firm against most foreign currencies, expanding exports may be difficult. On Oct. 21, the USDA released a Cold Storage Report that indicated a fairly large increase in total pork supplies in storage over the past month and last year. This would also indicate that demand is the major influence on hog and pork prices. With increasing numbers of hogs and building supplies of pork, the hog market should have a difficult time in sustaining a rally at this time. Therefore producers should consider protecting inventory through the remainder of the year.
Find balance in handling risk some risks and mitigating others with risk management tools and management practices. The practice of “laying risk off onto others,” is one to be mastered. The use of a “risk ledger” is helpful for monitoring and controlling the “probability and/or impact of unfortunate events.” On one side of the ledger, list all of the identified risks. As the risk is mitigated, it is moved to the other side of the ledger. An example of unpriced grain, being at risk of being sold into a falling market, is moved to the mitigated side of the ledger when it is priced. We in production agriculture are risk takers. If we did not take the risk of putting the seed into the ground, we would never have a crop to harvest. There is always weather risk and other production risk. Margin risk is ever present in this market environment. We must learn how to give the risk to others whenever possible. We give up some of the “upside” opportunity when we do this, yet we eliminate the “downside” consequence. When this can be accomplished, while locking-in a profit, we position ourselves for success.

NEHER, from pg. 26A to $7; than when we sell $6 corn after seeing trade at $7. It is all the same money, yet we strangely feel better selling into a “down” market than selling into a rally market. If risk and opportunities are “flip sides of the same coin,” then regret and overconfidence are likewise. In these profitable times for grain producers, everything that we do seems to make money. This tends to lead to complacency and overconfidence. This can lead to taking on poorly managed risk and losing sight of the financial hazards along the way. Risk management will be the key to our ability to leverage the opportunities ahead. Risk management is the “identification, assessment and prioritization of risks followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor and control the probability and/or impact of unfortunate events.” It is easy to make the conclusion that the elimination of risk is the key to success. If this is one’s goal, very little money will be made in our operations. One must take some risk, in order to leverage the opportunities in the marketplace. The key is to find a balance between accepting

TEALE, from pg. 26A With the economy still in a poor state, and the packers in a poor margin situation, it seems unlikely that a sustained rally in the cattle market is in the picture at this time. Producers should consider using the current strength to protect some inventory. Hogs have recently run into resistance and prices have fallen back as supplies of hogs have expanded since the first of October. At the same time pork cutout advanced over the $100/cwt. level and the volume in pork product declined again reflecting a domestic resistance to higher-priced meat.
SOYBEANS — Soybeans lost significant ground against corn this week, losing 57.75 cents for the week. There was some indirect influence due to the losses in the Shanghai stock market which fell to its lowest level since March 2009. A slowing Chinese economy would spell trouble for U.S. soybean exports. Third quarter GDP growth in China was reported this week near expectations at 9.1 percent, but down from 9.5 percent in the second quarter. The government is tightening monetary policy to moderate growth and rein in inflation. Weekly export sales were the lowest in five weeks at 594,000 metric tons. China was expected to be a bigger buyer than the 331,000 mt was reported. It’s possible that some of the rumored buying during the week may have already been on the books in the form of “frame contracts”. Total U.S. export commitments are now 29 percent behind last year, while the USDA estimate is a decline of 8 percent. Early planting conditions in South America are favorable. The Buenos Aires Grain Exchange estimated planted area in Argentina at 18.6 million hectares, less than the 19.3 million the USDA has estimated. OUTLOOK: The November soybean-December corn price ratio has dropped to 1.87, a level that should be supportive to beans relative to corn. If corn continues to work its way higher, beans should follow. Strong cash markets offer support to the market as well. The potential for a big South American crop is currently weighing on price outlooks, but that’s always an important factor this time of year. Resistance is at $12.75, with support at $11.50.

Total commitments exceeded last year’s pace for the first time this marketing year. Total commitments at 793 million bushels are now 5 percent ahead of last year at this time. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is estimating a 13-percent decline in exports versus last year, a forecast that is being viewed as too pessimistic given the Chinese sales. The final approval of free trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama this week was a significant achievement that should offer a boost to U.S. exports.

event. Higher prices for skim and whole milk powder offset declines in anhydrous milkfat and cheese. The weighted average price for SMP was $1.49/lb., up 3 percent from the Oct. 4 auction. SMP from the United States (DairyAmerica) averaged $1.38/lb. for November delivery. The weighted average price for whole milk powder was $1.59/lb., up 5.7 percent from the previous event. Anhydrous milkfat dropped 1.7 percent, to $1.65/lb., the lowest price since AMF came on the auction platform in November 2009. Cheddar cheese for industrial use received an average winning bid of $1.59/lb., down 8.4 percent, according to the DDR. ■ Meanwhile, the United Nations this
week predicted that the world’s population will hit 7 billion at the end of this month. That means a lot more mouths to feed but who will provide it and who will pay for it? And, speaking of paying for it, the DDR reports that retail milk prices increased for the 12th straight month in September. The milk Consumer Price Index was 151.0, up 13.1 percent from a year ago, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Cheese CPI jumped nearly 2 percent in September to a record high 227.1, and now sits 10.2 percent above a year ago. Fluid milk prices may be coming down if retailers pass along the decrease that the USDA announced in the federal order Class I base price. The November Class I mover is $18.45/cwt., down $1.11 from October but $1.21 above November 2010, and equates to about $1.59 per gallon. That pulled the 2011 average to $19.19, up from $15.21 at this time a year ago, and compares to $11.25 in 2009. The Class IV advanced pricing factor was the “higher of” in driving the Class I value. Sources tell me that, unless there’s a big surprise in November corn, soybean and alfalfa prices, there’ll likely be no Milk Income Loss Contract payment to producers in November. ■ The NASS butter price averaged $1.7552/lb., down 23.4 cents from October. Nonfat dry milk averaged $1.5328, down 1.3 cents. Cheese averaged $1.7437, down 9.1 cents and dry whey averaged 61.21 cents, up 2.2 cents. ■ In politics, “the cheese got more binding” this week, as they say (whoever they are) as a bill has been introduced to actually stop legislation that contains the main elements of the National Milk Producers Federation’s Foundation for the Future dairy reform proposal. The International Dairy foods Association praised Senate Amendment 872, “Stop the Peterson Bill,” introduced by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.). An IDFA press release said “the amendment will prevent implementation of a controversial supply management program for the dairy industry, offered by Rep. Collin Peterson (D-Minn.), that we have learned will be included in the recommendations of the House and Senate agriculture committees to the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction.”

Gillibrand’s amendment would block a requirement that producers participate in a program to limit supply if they enroll in a new revenue insurance program, according to the press release, adding, “no other U.S. Department of Agriculture farm support or insurance program is tied to a mandate requiring participation in a government supply-management program.” “IDFA opposes all forms of supply management,” the press release said. “Previous government efforts, including peanut allotments, tobacco allotments and grain allotments have failed. The 1983 dairy diversion program failed, and ended up costing taxpayers billions of dollars. Congress tried and failed again in 1985 by authorizing a dairy herd buyout program aimed at limiting milk supply by removing cows from production. We should learn from our past mistakes and not go down that road again.” Dairy Profit Weekly editor Dave Natzke said in his Friday DairyLine report that there are now at least five bills introduced in Congress addressing dairy policy reforms, either as stand-alone bills, or as dairy platforms in 2012 farm bill proposals and, while many of the dairy proposals have some common reforms, supply management remains at the heart of much of the controversy,” and “complicating the matter are debates over the federal budget and efforts to reduce federal deficits.” This week, the Senate was considering a package of appropriations bills for fiscal year 2012, which started Oct. 1. In addition, a 12-member Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, the so-called “Super Committee,” is charged with finding $1.5 trillion in debt savings over the next 10 years, Natzke said. That committee has until Nov. 23 to propose ways to reduce deficits and Congress must vote on those proposals by Dec. 23. Congressional leaders, including bipartisan House and Senate ag committee leaders, are forwarding program recommendations to the Super Committee, identifying programs that might help address federal deficits. Reports indicate the Peterson bill may be advanced to the Super Committee for inclusion in deficit-reduction plans, Natzke said. ••• Lee Mielke is a syndicated columnist who resides in Everson, Wash.

vices. AgStar Financial Tom Neher, vice president of Services, ACA, headagribusiness at AgStar Financial Serquartered in Mankato, vices and “Grain Angles” columnist for Minn., employs more than 600 full-time team members. The Land, will be presenting a session The company is part of the national Farm Credit System on risk management for cooperatives and has a public mission to serve 69 counties in Minand their members at the 14th annual Farmer Cooperatives Conference set for Nov. 3-4 in Minneapolis. Organized by the University of Tom Neher Wisconsin Center for Cooperatives, this annual event features the latest research, trends, critical thinking, innovative approaches and case studies about cooperatives as business entities. Attendees are agricultural cooperative managers and board members, educators, researchers, accountants and many other professionals. “It is the one national conference that focuses on agricultural cooperatives themselves, rather than on the state of the industry or an industry sector,” said Anne Reynolds, assistant director for the UW Center for Cooperatives. The theme this year is “Meeting Competitive Challenges: Cooperative Structure and Finance for the Future.” Eight sessions in two days address global challenges in the food producer market, innovative approaches to finance, consolidation among cooperatives, price volatility, energy and the credit marketplace, and managing risk for cooperatives and their members. Neher’s presentation will focus on the challenges of risk management for cooperatives and their members. According to Neher, “cooperatives face a balancing act as risk is driven down the supply chain. But there are tools that cooperatives and their members can use to help them adjust to and manage their risk. I’m looking forward to sharing what I’ve learned and hearing what others in the industry are doing to manage risk in this volatile environment.” The two-day conference will be hosted at the Radisson Plaza Hotel Minneapolis. More information about the conference and registration is available at www.uwcc.wisc.edu or by calling (608) 263-4775. Support for the program comes from CoBank, CHS, Dorsey & Whitney, Farm Foundation, Growmark, Land O’Lakes, Lindquist & Vernnum, NCFC Education Foundation, Stoel Rives, Clifton Gunderson and Ralph K. Morris Foundation. Neher joined in AgStar 2006, after an extensive career in the grain industry. He manages and is responsible for services to all sectors of the company’s grain portfolio, from grain production to marketing and processing. He previously held positions with Archer Daniel Midlands and Benson-Quinn Co., where he was grain merchandiser, commodity marketing consultant, development director, risk management director, floor broker and member of the Kansas City Board of Trade. Neher is a graduate of McPherson College with a bachelor of arts in psychology and completed graduate studies in clinical psychology at Emporia State University and rural sociology at Kansas State University. ••• This article was submitted by AgStar Financial Ser-

Being able to mourn will lead me to help others Shortly after my mom’s death, I felt scared and very low. All day long I would go about mourning as the Psalmist writes, “I am bowed down and brought low; all day long I go about mourning.” Psalm 38:6 My body began to shake, and try to bring me down with a reminder “You are carrying recent deaths in your life; your mother, your dad, your husband, your mother-in-law, your two bachelor neighbors who farmed near our land.
Both children, now married and moved away, are also losses.” I cannot keep my thoughts straight to express myself as I want to. I wonder sometimes where God is, did He desert me? People don’t know what to say to me, so I feel deserted and alone sometimes. Crying is difficult for me, even though it is a natural, cleansing, part of mourning. Perhaps it is a vital part of moving on from grief. How often have I been unable to comfort friends

“Where Farm and Family Meet”
At age 5, Jason Troendle’s father gave him his first fishing pole and the two set out for a day on the banks. He concentrated on his three-footlong Snoopy fishing pole with matching Snoopy bobber and pulled in sunfish after sunfish. Not liking to touch anything slimy, Troendle would have his father take each fish off the line Jason Troendle and then bait his hook for his next big catch. “The day my dad gave me my first fishing pole, he epitomized love through not just words and encouragement but in his actions as he baited my hook over and over and removed everything I caught,” he said. “As years have passed, I realize that lesson of love taught me that sharing love with those who surround me is a deep responsibility.” When his first day of fishing came to an end, Troendle’s father told him that if he were going to fish in the future, he’d have to bait his own hook and remove his own fish. “It wasn’t long before I learned that touching worms and fish wasn’t horrible at all,” he said. “I have learned so much through my love of fishing. “Love and learning. Fishing helped to define two core values that would guide me through my journey of life.” Troendle recently took another step on his journey of life. As a conclusion to the 84th National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Troendle was elected National FFA secretary for 2011-12. Joining Troendle to serve as national FFA officers for 2011-12 are Ryan W. Best of New Mexico as National FFA president, Kenneth D. Quick Jr. of New York as Eastern Region vice president, Alicia Hodnik of Wisconsin as Central Region vice president, Cain Thurmond of Georgia as Southern Region vice president and Seth Pratt of Idaho as Western Region vice president. Originally from St. Charles, Minn., Troendle is currently a freshman at Bethel University majoring in economics and environmental studies. He is the son of Fred and Sandra Troendle and a member of the St. Charles High School FFA Chapter led by advisers Craig Will and Willie Lubahn. “Through FFA and agricultural education, I have been able to learn many things,” he said. “I’ve learned it is vital to set short- and long-term goals that can guide me where I want to go and what I want to do. I’ve learned that doing the right things, being committed to myself and others and taking responsibility for my actions are the only ways I will succeed.” For the next year, Troendle and his national officer peers will be the face and spirit of FFA. Collectively, they’ll travel more than 100,000 miles throughout the country as they engage top leaders in business, government and education and lead a host of personal growth and leadership training seminars for FFA members. ••• This article was submitted by the National FFA Organization.

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondent Bonnie Heidtke
Standing guard ometimes a picture, a scene or even a statue can make everything Sclick into place. That’s what happened when Pat Jones Doering was traveling north on Highway 52 last year — and in this case, it was a statue of a soldier. “After Charles passed, and I couldn’t decide what I wanted for a headstone,” she said. “On that day, on the left, there was a statue of a soldier standing there and it just clicked.” She drove into the business but decided they wanted too much money but decided not to give up the quest since her husband of 14 years had served in the U.S. Army during 1966 and 1967 during the Vietnam War. Charles R. Doering died Nov. 26, 2008. A statue would be perfect not only to honor her husband’s service to the country but also to all the 19 veterans resting at the Wykoff, Minn., Cemetery, south on County Road 5. Doering found a 1,300 pound statue at SV & J Lawn Ornaments on Highway 42 between Plainview and Kellogg. With the discount, it ended up to be $1 per pound. With the help of a forklift and her family, it was loaded onto her pickup, only to be hauled around for three days as she needed to talk to the cemetery board to make sure it would be OK to have the statue placed at her husband’s grave. “My brothers Dennis and Bob (Voeltz ) got it all put up for me,” she said. For some four years, Doering’s brother, Dennis has had a similar statue standing in his front yard in Lanesboro, Minn., right across from the Lanesboro High School — and others have followed suit including a church or two throughout Fillmore County. With all the detailing of the gun, the face, the boots and all the nuts and bolts, it looks so real, Doering said. She talked of a sealer that will be eventually applied to the statue. Dennis served as a U.S. Marine at the tail end of the same war (1972 to 1974). Another brother Richard served as a Marine for four years, from 1962 to 1966, with a tour of duty in Vietnam from 1965 to 1966. The statue is for all the veterans in the cemetery, she said. “With all the rows of veterans behind it, look how the statue is like a sentry.” The statue has been manning its post since Oct. 17, 2010.

“Air doesn’t have any boundaries,” said Agricultural Research Service chemist Laura McConnell. “So when we study the dynamics of different components that affect air quality, we’re trying to figure it out in an open system. For instance, maybe the compound we’re studying comes from a local source — or maybe it’s coming from a hundred miles away.” “This kind of research is a real challenge,” agrees Charlie Walthall, who is the national program leader for ARS’s work on air emissions. “But there is a substantial payoff for farmers and for the public. We are working to develop management practices that increase the efficiency of agricultural production and that also protect and enhance our soil, water and air.” As part of this effort, McConnell is just one of dozens of ARS scientists conducting research in a Peggy Greb/Agricultural Research Service system where controls are At a study site in Beltsville, Md., ARS researchers hard to come by.

Researchers looking at pesticide evaporation EMISSIONS, from pg. 19B taining water quality in the bay.” A pesticide’s surprising path A few fields away in Beltsville, ARS soil scientist Timothy Gish and his colleagues are tackling another piece of the air quality quandary — measuring the amounts of pesticides that evaporate into the air after they’re applied to the field. ARS micrometeorologist John Prueger, who works at the National Laboratory for Agriculture and the Environment in Ames, Iowa, is co-leading the investigation with Gish. Other ARS scientists on the study include agronomist Craig Daughtry, hydrologist William Kustas, soil scientist Lynn McKee, and physical scientists Andrew Russ and Joseph Alfieri, who all work with Gish at the ARS Hydrology and Remote Sensing Laboratory. NLAE director Jerry Hatfield is also a project collaborator. The scientists looked at the field dynamics of atrazine and metolachlor, two herbicides commonly used in corn production. Both herbicides are known to contaminate surface and ground water, usually through field runoff. Many experts believed the chemicals had a low volatilization rate — that is, after they were applied to the field, they would not readily evaporate into the atmosphere — and that volatilization was not a contributing factor in local water contamination. “A lot of research indicated that atrazine and metolachlor runoff increases during or after heavy precipitation,” Gish said. “But there had never been
a side-by-side comparison of pesticide lost from runoff and volatilization.” So the team set up a 10-year study at the Optimizing Production Inputs for Economic and Environmental Enhancement (OPE3) study area in Beltsville, which was established in 1998 to study major environmental and economic issues facing U.S. agriculture. It is equipped with remote-sensing gear and other instrumentation for monitoring local meteorology, soil, plants and ground water. This allowed the team to carry out its studies on a wellcharacterized site where only the meteorology — and the soil water content — would vary. “We studied the same fields with the same soil types, the same crops, the same management practice and the same herbicide formulations” Gish said. “But we ended up with different volatilization losses from year to year.” Vanishing into thin air The team observed that when air temperatures increased, soil moisture levels had a tremendous impact on how readily atrazine and metolachlor volatilized into the air — a key factor that had not been included in previous models of pesticide volatilization. When soils were dry and air temperatures increased, there was no increase in herbicide volatilization, but volatilization increased significantly when temperatures rose and soils were wet. Most of the volatilization from wet soils occurred within the first three days after the herbicide was applied.

Chemists Cathleen Hapeman (left) and Laura McConnell use air and rain sample collection devices to study the fate of atmospheric pollutants in the Chesapeake Bay region. The link between soil moisture and volatilization was highlighted in 2003, when it rained at least once every week in May and June, which prevented the team from planting their experimental corn crops until July. Once the corn was in, it rained again for another two weeks. When the skies finally cleared, the scientists were able to apply the herbicides to the soggy fields. “By this time, the soils were very wet. Five days after we applied the herbicides, we’d lost up to 63 percent of the metolachlor and 12 percent of the atrazine through volatilization,” Gish said. “Losses were 35 to 40 percent higher in the wetter spots in the field. Generally, 4 to 5 percent losses are a big deal, so we saw a lot of compounds going off into the atmosphere.” The scientists also noted a correlation between subsoil water movement and herbicide volatilization, a dynamic they could track and document because of the extensive instrumentation at the OPE3 site. As the water rose up through the soil layers and came closer to the surface, volatilization of atrazine and metolachlor increased. “Sometimes we’ve also seen volatilization occur when we haven’t expected it,” Prueger said. “For See EMISSIONS, pg. 21B

EMISSIONS, from pg. 20B instance, we’ve found that when the soil is dry, volatilization can increase at night because dew formation increases surface soil moisture.” Gish and colleagues plan to take their results and begin looking in more detail at volatilization processes. “Do we have the right set of data to predict pesticide loss? What creates a threshold condition for volatilization? Is it moisture alone, or soil moisture with air temperature and humidity, or atmospheric stability, or what?” Gish asks. “Before I retire, I’d like to be able to develop a model for pesticide volatilization that contains all the relevant parameters.” Even though the models need refining, the results have already had a payoff. “Some farmers have become more careful about how they apply herbicides to their fields, because higher volatilization levels lower efficacy and lower yields. Besides, they live where they work, and they want to protect the local environment,” Prueger said. “But we still need to improve our measurements. When we find more accurate instrumentation or techniques, we can use them to reduce our margin of error in the measurement of pesticide volatilization.” Calculating the impact of cows Across the country in Idaho, where the number of dairy cows has increased around 88 percent in the past 12 years, another group of scientists is collecting data on greenhouse gas emissions from dairy facilities and identifying how those emissions fluctu-

EMISSIONS, from pg. 21B scientists at the ARS Northwest Irrigation and Soils Research Laboratory in Kimberly, Idaho, including microbiologist Robert Dungan, agricultural engineer David Bjorneberg, and soil scientist Anita Koehn. For a year, the group monitored the emissions of ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide from a commercial dairy in southern Idaho with 10,000 milk cows. The animals were mostly mature Holsteins that consumed a total mixed ration and produced an average of 75 pounds of milk per cow per day. The facility had 20 open-lot pens, two milking parlors, a hospital barn, a maternity barn, a manure solids separator, a 25-acre wastewater storage pond and a 25-acre compost yard. The team set out to calculate the emission rates of the four gases from three areas on the dairy facility: the open lots, the wastewater pond and the compost yard. After they set up their instrumentation, they collected concentration data continuously for two to three days each month and recorded air temperature, barometric pressure, wind direction and wind speed. With this data, they calculated the average daily emissions for each source area for each month. Their results indicated that, on average, the facility — animals, equipment, buildings, and all — generated 3,582 pounds of ammonia, 33,162 pounds of methane and 410 pounds of nitrous oxide every day. This came to daily emission rates of 0.3 pounds of ammonia, 3.1 pounds of methane and 0.04 pounds of nitrous oxide per cow — or 0.005 pounds of ammonia, 0.04 pounds of methane and less than 0.0006 pounds of nitrous oxide for each pound of milk pro-

duced. The team also found that the open lots were the source of the highest levels of ammonia, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions. These areas generated 78 percent of the facility’s ammonia, 80 percent of its carbon dioxide and 57 percent of its nitrous oxide. The lots also generated 74 percent of the facility’s methane emissions during the spring. Generally, emissions of ammonia, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide from the open lots were lower during the late evening and early morning, and then increased throughout the day to peak late in the day. These daily fluctuations paralleled patterns in wind speed and air temperature, both of which generally increased during the day — and also with livestock activity, which picked up as the day progressed. Emissions of ammonia, methane and carbon dioxide from the wastewater pond and the compost were also lower in the late evening and early morning and increased during the day. Ammonia, methane and carbon dioxide emissions from the compost peaked during June when the compost was frequently turned and when new manure was being added to the windrows. Methane emissions from the wastewater pond were lowest in April, when seasonally cooler temperatures prevailed, but peaked during October as temperatures rose. ••• This article was published in the July issue of Agricultural Research magazine.

Cotton gin findings important across agriculture WIND, from pg. 23B emissions tend not to travel far from the gin. These models may overestimate the distance gin dust travels by 10 times. Urban samplers, models wrong for cotton gins? Buser found that the EPA samplers could be overestimating PM2.5 emission concentrations by 14 times. Buser was at the ARS Cotton Production and Processing Research Unit in
Lubbock before transferring to Oklahoma State University in 2009. He continues his research as an integral part of the “Characterization of Cotton Gin Particulate Matter Emissions Project.” Isom, well aware of Buser’s research, called Buser in 2007 and asked for help in getting scientific answers on PM2.5 concentrations. So, in 2008, ARS scientists at cotton ginning labs — including Buser; Derek
Agricultural engineers Greg Holt (left) and former ARS scientist Michael Buser, now with Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, change filters from particulate-matter samplers and collect meteorology data while sampling dust generated by a rolling cultivator (background).

Whitelock, an agricultural engineer with the ARS Southwestern Cotton Ginning Research Laboratory in Mesilla Park, N.M.; and fellow agricultural engineer Clif Boykin, at the ARS Cotton Ginning Research Unit in Stoneville, Miss. — organized a major four-year project to intensively sample emissions from seven cotton gins strategically located throughout the Cotton Belt. From the very start, they planned the project with federal and state regulators and the cotton industry to address the various concerns of each cotton-growing region. “Texas, for example, wanted more information on the total amount, size and percentages of all the particles emitted from gins, including PM10. The cotton growers’ and ginners’ organizations wanted more accurate computer models to predict emissions,” Buser said. To accurately determine the total emissions — PM10 and PM2.5 — from
a cotton gin, they directly sample the exhaust from the gin’s many cyclones, using the EPA methods. To do this, the scientists joined forces with a certified stack tester from California to measure the PM emissions from cotton gins. They also measure the level of PM2.5 and PM10 in the air outside a cotton gin by surrounding each gin with 126 ambient air samplers, compared to the half-dozen samplers used in previous, less intensive, studies. There are six sampling points at different levels on each of 12 towers. Each tower is 33 feet tall. Whitelock said, “More than 1,500 samples are brought back from each gin for processing,” which is done in the ARS Air Quality Laboratory at Lubbock, under the direction of research leader Greg Holt.

WIND, from pg. 26B in New Mexico, two in Texas, two in California and one in Missouri. In 2011, they’ll test the last gin, in North Carolina. It will take another year, through 2012, to analyze the data from all the tests. California officials and gin associations are especially anxious for the project data on their two gins, giving them the first real numbers to work with. Whitelock said that he, Buser and Boykin “set up a gin advisory group and an air-quality advisory group to help us plan the project, and we always invite cotton gin associations and regulators to observe each sampling campaign.” The gin advisory group includes people from cotton gin associations; Cotton Inc., whose world headquarters are in Cary, N.C.; the National Cotton Council of America in Cordova, Tenn.; and Texas A&M University at College Station. It was formed to identify prospective gins for sampling and to act as liaison between the gins and the ARS. The air-quality advisory group includes people on the gin advisory group as well as from the EPA and state environmental regulatory agencies and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This group was formed to advise on methods and equipment for sampling, quality control and data analysis. “Participation of these advisory groups is essential to the success of this project and for the results to be accepted by industry and regulators,” Whitelock said. “This way we have their buy-in on our data-collection methods before we ever start, minimizing the chances of having our results questioned after the experiments are over,” Whitelock said. Funding for the project comes from several sources, with a long list of cooperators. “With cotton-production costs soaring, all decisions on more costs have to be based on sound science. That is key to ensuring that the U.S. cotton industry remains strong and competitive globally,” Whitelock said. Pacific Northwest farmers can see soil blow away The EPA’s regulations on PM2.5 and PM10 affect every aspect of agriculture, not only cotton gins but also cattle feedlots and other farming operations. For the Columbia Plateau region of the Pacific Northwest, the focus is on topsoil blowing in the wind: The smaller particles occasionally contribute to poor air quality in the region. Farmers in this wind-erosion-prone region are as anxious as any others about the prospect of farms being regulated like cotton gins and other industries, with fears of urban air-pollution samplers surrounding their farmland. But they also want their rich topsoil to stay in place, so they are eager to reduce wind erosion.

WIND, from pg. 27B Brenton Sharratt and Ann Kennedy, at the ARS Land Management and Water Conservation Research Unit in Pullman, Wash., are identifying practices that will keep the soil from blowing away. Sharratt, research leader of the unit, examines the physical properties, and Kennedy, a soil scientist, studies the biological properties of soils that affect wind erosion. Sharratt measures the quantity and size of soil particles blown off fields while Kennedy analyses the soil for its lipid content from the microbes living in the soil. Each microbe community has a unique fingerprint that can be used to identify the soil. Sediment deposited far downwind of a field can potentially be traced back to where it blew from. Although she and Sharratt focus on soils of the Columbia Plateau region in parts of Idaho, Oregon and Washington state, Kennedy also works with ARS scientists in Colorado, Idaho, Missouri and Texas on fingerprinting soils. The scientists exchange soil samples to study a variety of soils from different regions. Interestingly, microbial communities from dirt and gravel roads differed from adjacent agricultural soils whether in Washington or Texas. “Apparently, the microbial communities found on roads change with time because of the lack of plants and restricted water infiltration,” Kennedy said. They collect samples from devices that trap blowing soil particles; these devices were invented by ARS scientists in Lubbock. Sharratt is investigating how soil and crop management affects the amount of soil and PM10 eroded from fields during high winds. Tillage and crops can influence soil roughness, soil aggregation (or size of soil clods), and the quantity of crop residue on the soil surface. All these factors affect the soil’s susceptibility to erosion by wind or water. He is also looking at how soil moisture and crusting can protect the soil from wind erosion. “Maintaining roughness and nonerodible material such as crop residue on the soil surface is key to controlling wind erosion” Sharratt said. “We’re looking for ways to manage soils that minimize blowing and are
cost effective for the farmer.” Ultimately, Sharratt, Kennedy and their colleagues are looking for management practices that reduce the soil’s vulnerability to wind erosion. They know that no-till — eliminating plowing or frequent tillage before planting, leaving adequate amounts of protective residue from previous crops on the surface — is effective at reducing wind erosion and PM10 emissions from agricultural lands. But no-till is often not economically viable in the driest parts of the Columbia Plateau. There are challenges yet to be worked out before no-till systems can be used with success throughout the region. One tillage technique that seems promising is undercutting, which slices beneath the soil surface and gently lifts and sets down the uppermost layer of soil in place. Undercutting severs the roots of weeds without inverting the soil as a plow does. “Undercutting has reduced soil and PM10 loss from fields during high wind events by as much as 65 percent as compared to conventional tillage practices in the drier parts of the region,” Sharratt said. “This breaks open compacted layers and breaks up harmful fungi, while leaving the soil and organic matter intact, with positive effects on beneficial microbes,” Kennedy said. “We always thought that most of the carbon that makes up organic matter was lost to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide,” Kennedy said. “But we have found that a lot of organic matter is actually being lost to the wind as soil blows off a farm field, as much as 10 percent of total organic matter losses. This is one more incentive, as though any were needed, for farmers to keep the soil in place. ” ••• This article was published in the July issue of Agricultural Research magazine.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”
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.
