NORTHERN EDITION

A love for farming, and a supportive family, helped Elizabeth Johnson get a start in farming.

Her determination has kept her there.

By RENAE VANDER SCHAAF The Land Correspondent wenty years ago, at age 23, Elizabeth Johnson was interested in beginning farming.

She had an uncle retiring, and felt there might be an opportunity. Johnson discussed her idea with her dad, who advised her to talk to the uncle about it. She did, and has never regretted it.

“I like farming,” Johnson said. “I grew up helping my parents, Bob and Sally Nelsen.

This land I rented was close to my parents’ farm making it more convenient for me to farm.” The farming was set up on a 60-40 share basis.

Both she and her husband, Casey, have full-time jobs in nearby Storden, Minn.

Casey owns a trucking company, Storden Transit, with his dad. Elizabeth is office manager at a local bank. They also have three children — Alex, Theo and Madeline.

The farming would get done at night or on the weekends.

“At first it was dad and me, then my husband, Casey, joined us,” Johnson said. “As the children grew older, they also helped.”

Family’s plots help plant breeders research crops JOHNSON, from pg. 1A The Johnsons have a philosophy that whatever needs doing, they will work together as family to get the work done.

Twelve years ago, her father decided he wanted to retire from farming. As her brothers were not interested; she made the decision to rent her dad’s ground. That meant giving back her uncle’s land.

She is thankful for her father’s help, as it is practically impossible to start farming without help. There are so many needs in equipment, rent and the knowledge that comes from experience.

Now she is working at helping the next generation get started farming. Her son Theo has expressed a sincere aspiration to continue in his great-grandfather’s footsteps when he began farming in Murray

County back in 1889.

Farming has changed much in 100-plus years.

When Elizabeth Johnson began farming she relied on advice from her dad, but also garnered useful information from the local elevator, other farmers and Extension meetings.

“It is always very interesting to talk to key people in the research fields,” Johnson said. “They are available to answer my questions or concerns.”

With her dad’s involvement with soybean promotion, it was so natural of him that he would offer some acres for research in southwest Minnesota.

There is not a lot of extra work for the Johnson family to cooperate with Extension on the five-acre research plot. The Johnsons farm the land with the farming practices used on the whole field, but they do measure out the plot, record weather conditions and provide updates.

“That plot provides information on private and public varieties available to farmers and is a side-byside comparison of varieties from companies that sell soybean varieties in southern Minnesota,” said Jim Orf, UniverIt is always very sity of Minnesota interesting to talk professor and soybean plant to key people in the breeder. “The plot research fields. also allows us to They are available evaluate new breedto answer my quesing lines from the tions or concerns.

University of Minnesota soybeans — Elizabeth Johnson breeding program so we can decide if they are better than current varieties and worth of release on a commercial scale.”

Private companies can also enter varieties that they will market to the public in 2012.

Soybeans: Past, present, future “Comparatively soybeans are still a relatively new crop for Minnesota,” Orf said. “Soybeans didn’t really cover many acres on our farms until the 1950s or 1960s. In fact, Minnesota released its first variety from a breeding program at the university at Renville in 1953.”

“China was the first country to domesticate the soybean. All beans came from China. In the early1900s lots of collecting was done in China. Oddly enough, today one of every four rows of soybeans grown in the USA is shipped to China,” he said.

The countries where the soybeans are exported to are not necessarily looking at yield as we have a tendency to do, Orf said. They are much more concerned with nutrient quality, especially protein and amino acids. Northern grown soybeans tend to be lacking on protein, but do have specific amino acids that are important.

Orf wonders if protein and amino acids should play a more prominent role in choosing soybean varieties to plant.

See JOHNSON, pg. 9A

Field days good for learning With the growing concern about soybean aphids, there is more research centering on resistant genes to aphids. That research is be being done here in Minnesota. In the future, spraying for aphids may no longer be a normal farming practice.

There are many different reasons for growing soybeans, with soybean varieties and markets to match. Orf suggested looking at small black seeded soybeans, which are popular in cooking in Japan.

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer A dozen years in the beef business gives Greg and Kari Scholtz, rural Comfrey, Minn., a good understanding of the ebbs and flows of the cattle industry.

Having two children both of whom were achievement award winners at the Minnesota Youth Beef Experience Program puts even more satisfaction into being a participant in Minnesota agriculture.

He describes their 100-cow operation as a 50-50 commercial and purebred Angus breeding business, along with 600 acres of crop farming. That’s a full agenda for the Scholtz family, especially since son, Andy (20), and daughter, Emily (19), are both students at South Dakota State University.

“Sure you go through some lean years in this business, whether it be the cattle side of farming or crop production. But this year will be one of the better years,” said Greg, interviewed at the recent Minnesota Beef Expo at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in St. Paul.

The Scholtzes don’t get into the “finishing end” of the beef business instead preferring to sell 600- to 700-pound feeder calves in November and December from their February-March calvings. That strategy generates about 75 percent of their beef income with the other 25 percent coming from the sale of breeding stock, especially young Angus bulls.

“We’re just getting started in the breeding business.

Our feeder calves are vaccinated, bunk trained, pretty much ready to move into the finishing stages when we sell,” Scholtz said.

The taste of agriculture persists. Emily is a first-year student majoring in animal science with the intent of becoming a pre-vet student leading to veterinary college down the road. Andy is majoring in ag business at SDSU but also pursuing an agronomy degree.

In 2006, she was the Junior Showmanship Achievement Award winner earning a bred heifer and has since purchased three more bred heifers. Already her beef ownership includes five cows and five calves. Andy owns five cows and a heifer. He was an achievement award winner in 2004, the first year of the program.

— Kari Scholtz Her mother, Kari, said their involvement in the cattle business has given them a lot of “quality family time ... A lot of our outings included both the kids and the cattle so it gave us a chance to meet other families who enjoy doing the same things that we enjoy. You exchange ideas, you learn from each other,” she said, adding, “it also gave our children a chance to meet other kids and become more comfortable about being out in the public. Plus they were growing in their own knowledge of the cattle industry. It’s such a dynamic, constantly changing business offering both challenges and rewards”.

Kari acknowledged that social media be that Facebook, Twitter and the internet in general are all part of the new technologies inherent today. Selling breeding stock has definitely become an online strategy of this family.

Emily’s marketing experience so far has been the selling of feeder calves. “But this year I’m taking one of my bulls to the bull test station at Jackson (Minn.). That will be my first experience at offering a fully grown breeding animal for sale.” Last year’s breeding bulls coming off test at this station averaged $3,200. “I’m not well-known so maybe $1,500 would be good for my first effort,” she said.

The Scholtzes hope to build to about 120 cows because, as Greg puts it, “the price of land has gotten a little outrageous so putting money into cattle rather than land is a cheaper expansion route for us.” To access new genetics, they prefer buying additional bred heifers rather than build from their own herd.

In the Minnesota Youth Beef Experience Program, participating beef breeders donate young beef animals to young people for a “one-year adventure of growing and rearing.” This past year various breeders provided 11 of their own stock for this hands-on adventure.

strokes romance. Claudine said she and Mark bought their first heifer together when they were dating at age 15.“We went to a cattle sale in Illinois and bought this animal which is still in our herd.” Today they have both Black Angus and Red Angus with about 80 cows in their herd.

They’ve scaled down their herd because Mark now lives with a cancer condition.

Explaining the Youth Beef Experience program, Claudine said students have four areas of participation.

• Stewardship and housing of their particular animal, • Community involvement, • Personal need, and • Future ambitions.

Somewhat ironic, the first heifer calf of Andy Scholtz was a gift from Claudine and Mark Goodrich, who operate Goodrich Place Inc., their purebred Angus operation at Emerald, Wis. Andy said, “this heifer became one of my best cows, really reliable; raised a big calf every year. Maybe not show quality but very much the foundation of my herd. And this year I have a heifer from that cow here at the Beef Expo.”

Andy’s goal is to setup his own herd when college and internships are completed. Since 2004, Claudine and Mark Goodrich have contributed four heifers for youth programs.

Claudine said,“we like that it combines a

young person who wants to get into the industry with a mentor who cares. In order to keep the heifer after this one-year trial basis, they have to complete progress reports on their animal, communicate with their mentor, do a scrapbook with photos showing their experiences with their animal and promote the Youth Beef Experience program to other youth.”

Claudine said several beef farms donate both the animal and housing, making is possible for urban youth to get involved. “These kids may need to drive each day to take care of their animal but it’s amazing the follow-through. A lot of these city kids go on to college majoring in agriculture because of their experience with their animals.”

How do Mark and Claudine source these individual animals for the youth? “The various breeders contact us. We like to have an animal from each breed plus a commercial animal. Plus all the kids who didn’t win a heifer get their names included in a seminar put on by the University of Minnesota Animal Science Department, (which conveniently is located next door to the state fairgrounds).At this event there is a drawing for a free heifer. So even if you weren’t selected to get a heifer, this Thursday night event gives you another chance,” Claudine said.

This year 11 breeders stepped up providing 11 animals. These are all registered animals so values conservatively start at $1,000. Some of these animals could start at $3,000 and more.

Aidan Hacker, 5, of Starbuck, Minn., was one of the youngest beef showmen during this year’s Minnesota Beef Expo held in October at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds.

Junior Show makes Beef Expo << www.TheLandOnline.com >> “Where Farm and Family Meet”

Kent Thiesse, long-time junior activities coordinator at the Minnesota Beef Expo, said a few states also do a Beef Expo type of event with most held during the winter months and built around purebred cattle sales.

“But a focal point of our show is the junior show. It’s been ongoing now for 11 years and the numbers keep growing involving both farm and non-farm kids,” he said.

“Our intent is a well-rounded show with a variety of activities for the youth starting with a showmanship contest, plus a judging contest, a knowledge bowl, a group team fitting contest, some educational activities plus a group sale with many of our younger members buying an animal which they show the next day in the junior sale. Getting into a competitive show ring event at the Minnesota Beef Expo is a tremendous learning experience for most of these youngsters.”

Youth get started young in this junior show. The only requirement is that they be involved in 4-H, FFA or a breed organization. “We have a fourth grade and younger category which even gets even kindergarten kids showing a beef critter. Usually they need an older sibling or parent to assist in the show ring in case their animal gets feisty. It’s all ranges of experience when you get to the Minnesota Beef Expo.”

Volunteers from the various breed associations conduct the entire Expo. Judges at this year’s event included Kevin Jensen of Courtland, Kan.; Doug Hixon of Laramie, Wyo.; Steve Pomerenke of Fairmont, Minn.; Jerome Settles of Hoskins, Neb.; and Jerry Hawton, retired University of Minnesota judging team coach.

Sponsors included the Minnesota Soybean Research & Promotion Council, Minnesota Corn Growers, Minnesota Farm Bureau, Minnesota Farmers Union, Land O’Lakes Purina Feed, Minnesota Beef Cattle Improvement Association, Ag Star Fund for Rural America, Unger Meats, CentraSota Cooperative, Central Life Sciences and virtually every beef breed association.

Regulatory issues troublesome to cattlemen

THE LAND, NOVEMBER 18, 2011

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Sometimes the obvious is very obvious. The frustrating impact of regulatory issues, for example, ranks at the top for Don Schiefelbein, president of the Minnesota State Cattlemen’s Association. “As I travel the state, regulatory issues are the single biggest concern that producers have with regards to whether they are going to be successful in the future; in fact

even be in business,” he said.

However, Schiefelbein’s encouraged with the fact that in recent conversations with Minnesota Pollution Control Agency officials, they appear to be ramping up their efforts to speed the entire process for “turn-around time” when it comes to critical agricultural issues.

Because of huge drought and heat issues this season, cattle numbers are down drastically across the nation.

Certified Angus Beef’s Colvin Fund helps education dreams come true.

Pursuing a passion for agriculture through further education — that’s the top requirement for the Louis M. “Mick” Colvin Scholarship offered by the Certified Angus Beef brand.

This year, $15,000 will be split among five undergraduate scholarships, in the amounts of $5,000, $4,000, $3,000, $2,000 and $1,000.

College juniors and seniors who have shown commitment to the beef industry, either through coursework or activities, are encouraged to apply by the Dec. 2 deadline. Applications are evaluated on involvement and scholastic achievement, communication skills and reference letters.

A new opportunity, an additional $5,000 graduate-level scholarship will also be given to a full-time masters or doctorate student conducting research related to high-quality beef production. Applications for that award are

due Jan. 13.

“The graduate level scholarship will build on what the Colvin Scholarship has always done,” said Mick Colvin, who co-founded Certified Angus Beef LLC in 1978 and served as president for 22 years. “We will be able to groom the next great scientist supporting premium beef.”

“It’s very, very gratifying to see the amount we’ve offered grow over the years,” Colvin said. “Our partners have really pitched in and they’ve made this scholarship what it is today.”

Those supporters raised a record $92,000 in scholarship monies at a golf outing and auction held during the brand’s annual conference this year in Sunriver, Ore. The dollars go into an account that generates the interest proceeds used to fund these scholarships each year.

“When I started in the seed industry, I recall around 10 different heterotic patterns to work in; granted some were minor groups. Now we openly talk of only two heterotic groups: Stiff stalks and non-stiff stalks.” Stiff stalks refers to the Iowa State University germplasm pool that produced B73 and a few other key lines.

“However, the good news today is that the U.S. Department of Agriculture is supporting various germplasm diversity projects through the Germplasm Enhancement Project and other germplasm diversity projects directly with various land grant universities.

“But my concern for the future of plant breeding is dominance by a few companies worldwide. Plant breeding is an art and a science combined. We lose the art of plant breeding when only large companies are involved since they are very science based. An independent breeder utilizes his/her art skill set more since he or she cannot afford all the technology used in the science portion of plant breeding.

“The art side of breeding allows you to interpret the conditions of each crop based on your own experience and intuition. You can tweak your methodologies to be more efficient, productive and to take advantage of nuances you discover as you go through your career. Art and science together have produced the largest yield breakthroughs to date in our history. The B73 inbred developed at ISU is the perfect example of this methodology combination in plant breeding.

Ladd describes it as the most universal, “idiotproof” heater that you will ever own. You simply fill it with fuel, plug it into a power source and turn it on. Plus it provides two stages of output, the low stage 100,000 BTU or the high stage 120,000 BTU. At low stage, this unit burns 0.75 gallon per hour producing about 20 hours of run time from the 15-gallon capacity fuel tank. At high stage, fuel consumption is 0.90 hours equating to about 17 to 18 hours per tank of fuel.

These units retail for $2,495 but show price at the Expo was $1,995. Principal buyers are farmers, small repair shop mechanics, loggers, dry walling workers and often people just wanting a dry, comfortable heat in their garage.

GERMPLASM, from pg. 16A to eliminate the ‘corporate strings’ attached to sponsorship of research chairs and research projects by our universities doing plant breeding and also training our future plant breeders. The second way is to increase USDA funding to universities for germplasm conservation, introgression of non-adapted genetic and general germplasm development. I challenge anyone to show me a corn seed company anywhere in the world, in business today, that has not benefited from B73 or its progeny.”

So does the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture protect farmers’ rights? The treaty recognizes the contribution that farmers and their communities have made and continue to make to the conservation and development of plant genetic resources. That is the basis for farmers’ rights, which include the protection of traditional knowledge, and the right to participate equitably in benefit-sharing and in national decision making about plant genetic resources. It gives governments the responsibility for implementing these rights.

Stephen Smith, a research fellow with Pioneer HiBred in Johnston, Iowa, said, “for the long-term public good the availability of a broad base of genetic resources across numerous crops, including fruits and vegetables is critical. This requires long-term funding largely from governments and foundations.

If each of us were to rely only upon the food crops developed by Pioneer, Monsanto or Syngenta breeders, we would have a rather boring time at the grocery store.”

oons, lakes and walleyes form MinL nesota’s pantheon of icons. To that should be added turkeys.

Minnesota will produce 46,500,000 turkeys this year, roughly 20 percent of the nation’s total production. (Arkansas, with its mere 30 million birds, has the second highest production in the United States.)

A state that produces the most turkeys should, of course, have the world’s largest turkey.

And it does. The west central Minnesota town of Frazee has Big Tom. According to Frazee boosters — and numerous websites that no doubt copy each other — Big Tom, at 20 feet tall, 17 feet wide, and two and one half tons in weight, is the world’s biggest turkey.

Actually the Big Tom statue, located in a park outside of town is Big Tom II. Big Tom’s predecessor, who was only 17 feet tall, was accidentally burned to the ground by city workers in the late-1990s.

Big Tom rose from the ashes to stand even taller above this little village that won’t give up.

Frazee’s claim to the world’s biggest turkey seems justified. The suggestion, by some, that Frazee is the Turkey Capital of the World seems somewhat dubious, however. Most roads around Frazee are sprinkled with white turkey feathers. But the roads don’t lead to Frazee. They lead to nearby Pelican Rapids and the West Central Turkey processing plant.

Nowadays the plant is owned by Jennie-O Turkey Store Inc. Among the only three turkey processors in Minnesota, Jennie-O is the undisputed Big Tom. In 2008, the most recent year that statistics are available, Minnesota processors processed 1.3 billion pounds of turkey, valued at $744,192,000.

Willmar based Jennie-O’s nearly 7,000 employees processed over a billion pounds of that turkey meat. Northern Pride Cooperative in Thief River Falls and Turkey Valley Farms in Marshall carved up the rest of the state’s turkey market.

If you have turkey this holiday season remember Big Tom and all the turkey farmers around Frazee and across the state, as well as all the workers in plants throughout Minnesota, that brought it to your table.

Grain prices are effective cash close on Nov. 14. The price index chart compares an average of most recently reported local cash prices with the same average for a year ago. *Cash grain price change represents a two-week period.

Once again the livestock markets are moving in opposite directions. As the calendar changed to November, the cattle market was jumping to higher levels while the hog market was slipping to new recent lows.

The cattle market, for the first time in quite some time, was led to higher prices by the cash market rather than by the futures.

This change in leadership caught most off-guard as packers scrambled to accumulate inventory in the Northern Plains.

This action prompted many to JOE TEALE believe the packers were shortBroker bought and had to fight to cap- Great Plains Commodity ture their slaughter needs. The Afton packers at the present time are deep in the red for margins and this action seems odd for packers to risk the advent they may fall deeper in a non-profitable situation.

The beef cutouts have been slipping at these higher levels, and when cutouts are advancing we have seen volume drop off fairly dramatically due to the higher prices. It continues to be a problem for the cattle market — as the beef cutout prices move higher, the demand seems to fall off.

With competitive meats at much lower prices, it would seem to be difficult for cattle prices to continue to advance given the overall economic conditions at present. This does not preclude the fact that we may see the packers continue to scramble to buy cattle which could push prices higher in the short term.

However, it would be prudent for producers to protect

Commodity and equity markets seem racked with volatility. Concerns about the Greek debt crisis and the bankruptcy of the brokerage firm; MF Global triggered fears of a meltdown in prices. The two situations were related in that losses at MF Global were reported to involve investments in European debt. These events come closer to home as customers of MF Global found their trading accounts “frozen” as a result of the bankruptcy. Grain merchandisers and producer hedgers were left scrambling to find other brokerage firms.

TOM NEHER Along with the frustration of AgStar VP Agribusiness & Grain Specialist locating a new broker and transRochester ferring positions; came securing funding in the new accounts. The bankruptcy trustee was only transferring a given percentage of the funds, until a full accounting of the MF Global books could be secured. These matters provoked concerns about the integrity of the entire futures and options exchange system, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group and the Futures Commission Merchants who are members of the exchange.

The concern that I share with others in the industry, is that the entire trade is based on the integrity of the marketplace. If the integrity in question starts to erode, disorder and inefficiencies will emerge. The industry has been working to support a margin management paradigm shift and it is reliant on a sound and stable market.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

The following market analysis is for the week ending Nov. 11.

CORN — Corn started out the week with a bang and ended with a whimper, but mostly kept within the recent $6.30 to $6.65 range (high of the week was $6.66).

The U.S. dollar faded at the beginning of the week on the perception Europe was getting its financial house in order. The dollar continued to have big daily swings in both directions, but at the end of the week it was only slightly higher. Greece has NYSTROM named a new prime minister, PHYLLIS Country Hedging Lucas Papademos, a former vice St. Paul president of the European Central Bank. Italy is on its way to passing austerity measures that it needs to avoid being another Greece. Italy’s Prime Minister Berlusconi will resign once the measures are passed.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture crop report Nov. 9 was met with mixed reviews. The U.S. corn yield was lowered 1.4 bushels per acre to 146.7, slightly below the 147.9 bu./acre average trade guess.

Expectations on the final January report will be for yields either unchanged or lower; every year since 1990 when the yield in November is less than October, which was smaller than August, the final yield is unchanged or lower. Production subsequently dropped 123 million bushels to 12.310 billion bushels and 100 million less than the pre-report estimate.

Feed/residual falling 100 million bushels was viewed with some skepticism. Feeding margins have been

Beans test harvest lows in on-going downtrend NYSTROM, from pg. 1B good in virtually every sector except for poultry, and those margins have been struggling for several months. Why were poultry margins identified as a cause for the reduction this month? Was it to keep the ending stocks at a decent level?

Ending stocks were pegged at 843 million bushels, down 23 million from the October report and 42 million more than what was anticipated. Yields were bullish, ending stocks bearish.

Informa Economics refreshed their 2012 planted acreage estimate this week, upping it to 94 million acres. This is 880,000 acres more than their October estimate and 2.1 million acres more than what was planted this year. Their production number is 14.1 billion bushels, assuming a 163.6 bu./acre yield.

Export sales continue to struggle, coming in at 9.9 million bushels this week. The domestic market however, is keeping basis levels firm on slow country movement. Either a jump in prices or the calendar is believed to be needed to see grower sales increase.

OUTLOOK: Corn is maintaining its $6.30 to $6.65 range in the December contract and $6.40 to $6.75 in the March contract. Business usually shows up at one end, and sellers at the other. Holiday season is quickly approaching as well. With thinner volumes, the ranges may be extended for a short time to $6 to $7, but in general we need something fresh to propel the market out of the ranges.

December corn as of Nov. 11 had traded $6.50 in 17 out of 18 sessions.

Strong cash premiums being paid should also narrow spreads. December corn closed at $6.38 1/2, down 17 1/4 cents for the week ended Nov. 11.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans tested the harvest lows this week in an on-going downtrend. South American weather has been conducive to planting and early crop development. Possible record corn and bean crops may be seen in Brazil this year as they are off to a quick start.

The November U.S. crop report didn’t do the market any favors either. The U.S. soybean yield was cut 0.2 bu./acre to 41.3 bu./acre when the trade was expecting an unchanged number. Production fell 14 million bushels to 3.046 billion bushels versus the average trade guess of 3.048 billion bushels. Exports were dropped with no argument by 50 million bushels to reach an ending stocks number of 195 million bushels. Ending stocks were projected to only rise to 22 million bushels, but came in 35 million bushels higher than the October number.

Brazil is now forecast to pass the United States as the leading soybean world exporter for the second time in history, the last being 2005-06. Informa Economics’ updated 2012 planted acreage estimate was

MARKETING

76.1 million acres, up 0.1 million from 2011. Using a yield of 44.5 bu./acre, production would be 3.348 billion bushels next year.

Export sales were better this week at 22 million bushels, while meal sales of 291,400 metric tons were excellent. It’s rumored that China was back in the market for U.S. beans this week, but nothing was confirmed.

OUTLOOK: January soybeans have little bullish news, but they can’t let corn get too far away. Ideas that U.S. carryout can grow larger, South America has smooth sailing, and demand is slowing may combine to limit the upside. January beans could drift toward $11.50/$11 with $12.50 resistance.

Watch outside markets for guidance since the European fiasco may not be over. January soybeans settled at $11.75 1/2, down 45 1/2 cents for the week ending Nov. 11.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending Nov. 11: Minneapolis December wheat was 10 1/2 cents higher while Chicago wheat fell 20 cents and Kansas City dropped 14 cents. December crude oil soared $4.73 higher to close at $98.99, heating oil was up a dime, gasoline fell a nickel and natural gas lost 20 cents. The U.S. dollar index was up 0.15 for the week, Dow up 170 points and gold $33.60 higher.

Hogs continue to slip in November TEALE, from pg. 1B their inventories if that scenario fails to develop.

The hog market has continued to slip as we move through November. The supply of hogs appears to be adequate to meet the slaughter needs of the packers at this time. Couple this with the declining pork cutouts, and the packers become less aggressive in acquiring inventory of live animals.

Because of the build in cold storage supplies of not only pork but all meats, this is not projecting to be

positive for hog prices in the weeks ahead. There is some good news regarding pork: as pork cutouts have dropped there has been an increase in the acquisition of pork products by the retailers.

In the short-term outlook we may see hog prices rebound, but the overall economic picture still clouds the longer-term outlook. With plenty of live inventory and cold storage inventories at higher levels, the longer-term outlook could still point to lower hog prices. Hog producers are urged to use any shortterm rallies to consider protecting inventories.

Our focus is corn; world’s is soy

NEHER, from pg. 1B Grain and Soy Summit in St. Louis, Mo. This conference was different for others that I have attended.

Nearly half of the attendees were from other countries than the United States. I was surrounded by people from Russia, China, Taiwan, Vietnam, France, Cameroon, Uganda, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and Canada to name a few. The worldwide perspective that these representatives brought to the summit was quite different from what I experience when I attend trade association meetings of only U.S. attendees. I left the meeting with the solid understanding that we are truly in a global marketplace.

We here in the Upper Midwest like to talk about corn more than soybeans. This may be that we raise so many bushels of corn and currently there is more money to be made growing corn rather than soybeans. The attendees of the summit were much more interested in talking about soybeans. The fact that we will export between 8 and 15 percent of our corn on a given year compared to 50-60 percent of our

soybean crop may contribute to this matter. Clearly the world is in the marketplace looking for soybeans.

The world primarily imports our corn in form of meat and fuel.

Another observation that I made was that the MF Global situation was not mentioned once from the speakers or was a subject of conversation with the foreign attendees that I spoke with at the summit.

My phone was “ringing off the hook” with people in the United States trying to find out what was happening with the unfolding debacle. Yet, the foreign guests were totally focused on learning all that they could about food security, food safety, transportation issues and more efficient methods to extract the value out of the grain and soybeans they use in their countries.

The interesting thing that I realized was that many from the United States were more interested in maintaining the “status quo.” Are we going to be left behind by the world looking for the grain angles, while we just mutter, “If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it?”

The NMPF’s Roger Cryan writes in his latest market report that milk production growth will slow through fall but will continue to grow faster than domestic consumption.

He also said that higher dairy cow slaughter hasn’t stopped expansion in the dairy herd, pointing out that the increased use of sex-sorted semen has

meant an increase in the replacement heifer supply. A study at the University of Florida showed about 1.8 million straws of sexed semen were used in 2009, producing an additional 300,000 heifer calves. Two years later, nearly all of these have grown into additional replacement cows, the study showed.

Meanwhile, the USDA did not change its 2011 or 2012 milk production forecasts in this month’s World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report.

Production for 2011 is expected to hit 195.9 billion pounds, up from 192.8 billion in 2010 and 2012 output remains projected at 198.4 billion.

This year’s commercial exports were forecast higher. Fat and skim-solids ending stocks were lowered.

Cheese, butter and whey prices were forecast higher for both 2011 and 2012, but the nonfat dry milk price forecast was reduced for 2011 and unchanged for 2012.

Class III milk prices were raised for 2011 and 2012 on the increased price forecast for cheese and whey. Look for the 2011 Class III average to range $18.30 to $18.40 per hundredweight, up 15 cents from last month’s projection.

The 2012 range is now put at $16.70 to $17.60, up 40 cents from last month’s estimate. The Class III averaged $14.41 in 2010 and $11.36 in 2009.

■ The cash butter price fell to $1.74, down 9.25 cents on the week and 25 cents below a year ago when it had recaptured 11 cents after plunging 30.5 cents the week before. Eight cars were sold on the Veteran’s Day week. NASS butter averaged $1.8393, up a penny.

Holiday butter orders are also being filled but Jerry Dryer warns that “manufacturers are looking over their shoulders at expensive inventories and big production numbers.” Orders are good, he said, and holiday promotions are building, but prices are well-above a year ago and “the big question is how much butter will actually cross the scanner at retail?”

He speculates that the Cooperatives Working Together program may assist in exporting butter next year but CWT’s own existence may be in question as to whether it has the required 70 percent participation of the nation’s milk supply.

We may not have the answers until the National Milk Producers Federation’s Nov. 14 annual meeting.

The USDA’s November Crop Production report lowered 2011 corn and soybean harvest expectations slightly, but the WASDE report forecast season-average soybean prices would be lower. Corn production was forecast at 12.3 billion bushels, down 1 percent from the October forecast and down 1 percent from 2010. If realized, this will be the fourthlargest U.S. production total on record, according to the Dairy Profit Weekly.

Based on conditions as of Nov. 1, yields are expected to average 146.7 bushels per acre, down 1.4 bushels from the October forecast and down 6.1 bushels from 2010. If realized, this will be the lowest average yield since 2003.

Area harvested for corn grain is forecast at 83.9 million acres, unchanged from the October forecast, but up 3 percent from the previous year.

If realized, area harvested for grain will be the second highest on record since 1944, the DPW said, behind only the 86.5 million acres harvested in 2007.

The U.S. season-average farm price for corn is unchanged at $6.20 to 7.20 per bushel.

Soybean production is forecast at 3.05 billion bushels, down slightly from the

October forecast and down 9 percent from last year. Based on Nov. 1 conditions, yields are expected to average 41.3 bu./acre, down 0.2 bushel from last month and down 2.2 bushels from last year. If realized, the average yield will be the second lowest since 2003. Area for harvest is forecast at 73.7 million acres, unchanged from October but down 4 percent from 2010. Harvested area, if realized, will be the sixth largest ever.

The U.S. season-average soybean price range is projected at $11.60 to $13.60/bu., down 55 cents on both ends of the range. The soybean meal price is projected at $310 to $340 per short ton, down $25 on both ends of the range.

The USDA lowered its cottonseed estimate by about 100,000 tons, to 5.47 million. That’s down about 628,000 tons from 2010. Drought conditions in many of the cotton growing areas have negatively impacted this year’s crop. The November crop report did not update dry hay production estimates, according to the DPW. ••• Lee Mielke is a syndicated columnist who resides in Everson, Wash.

Yield determination requires trust PROGRAMS, from pg. 5B Whatever method is used to determine both the “base” and final prices should be consistent, using either local cash prices, or RP prices from the CBOT. The details for determining prices and yields should be spelled out in a written land rental agreement that is signed by all parties.

With the occurrence of much higher crop input costs in recent years, some flexible cash leases have been modified, and are now based on gross revenue triggers that exceed the cost of production, rather than on crop yield and price triggers. In this type of lease the landlord only receives additional cash rental payments beyond the “base” rent when the final gross revenue per acre (yield x price) exceeds the established cost of production for the year.

Typically, the added “flex” rent payment to the landlord would be a set percentage of the added gross revenue per acre above the established cost of production per acre. This is typically about 30 percent for corn, and about 40 percent for soybeans, with a “maximum” rental rate per acre.

Just as with crop yields and prices, determining the established cost of production for a crop for the year can be a challenge. Some possibilities would be to use cash flow statements for the year prepared by a farm management adviser, ag lender or the producer themselves. Again many universities and farm management associations have average cost of production data available. There also probably needs to be allowances in a flexible lease to allow for added costs or expenses due to weather or emergencies.

There are many other variations to setting up a See PROGRAMS, pg. 7B

Important that both parties fully understand contract Flexible lease resources Iowa State University has some good resources on flexible cash leases and written cash rental lease contracts, including sample cash rental contracts, which are available on their “Ag Decision Maker” website, located at www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm.

Bottom line Utilizing “flexible cash leases agreements” between farmers and landlords appears to be a good management strategy as an alternative to extremely high straight cash rental rates.

Landlords who are eligible for Social Security also need to pay attention as to what effect certain types of flexible payments, such as receiving a percentage of the grain that they must market, may have on the status of their future Social Security benefits. It is important that all aspects of a flexible land rental lease agreement be spelled out in detail in a written rental contract, which is signed by all parties.

Successful “flexible cash lease agreements” have always involved cooperation, trust and good communication between the farmer and the landlord.

exceeds the base (example: April 1 local grain price) by 10 percent or more. (Soybean example: $12/bu. local price on April 1 and Oct. 15 price of $13.20/bu. or higher).

• Cash rental contract with a base cash rental rate (example: $225 per acre), plus the landlord will receive 30 percent of the excess bushels for corn yields that exceed 180 bu./acre, and 40 percent of the excess bushels for soybean yields that exceed 48 bu./acre. The landlord would be responsible to market their share of the excess bushels. (Final corn yield of 200 bu./acre would result in the landlord receiving 30 percent of 20 bushels, or six bushels of corn to be marketed.)

• Cash rental contract with a base cash rental rate (example: $225/acre), and the producer will pay the landlord an additional 35 percent of the difference between final gross crop revenue and the base crop revenue for an RP crop insurance policy.

Soybean example Base revenue = $576/acre (48 bu./acre x $12/bu.)

Final revenue = $672/acre (48 bu./acre x $14/bu.)

Final cash rent = $258.60/acre ($672/acre - $576/acre = $96/acre x 0.35 = $33.60/acre + $225/acre = $258.60/acre) • Cash rental contract with a base cash rental rate (example: $225/acre), with no additional provisions; however, the producer decides to give the landlord an additional $25 to $50/acre land rent because of his excellent crop yields and/or good commodity prices.

PROGRAMS, from pg. 6B flexible lease agreement between a landlord and farmer, including using a base crop revenue compared to a harvest crop revenue, without using cost of production, to determine flexible rental rates (see below).

The big key, regardless of the flexible lease agreement, is that both the landlord and tenant fully understand the rental agreement, and the calculations that are used to determine the final rental rate.

It is also important that flexible lease agreements, as well as all land rental contracts, be finalized with a written agreement.

Flexible lease examples There are many examples and variations of “flexible cash rental” contracts and agreements. Following are simple examples of flexible cash rental lease calculations for corn and soybeans in southern Minnesota.

• Cash rental contract with a base cash rental rate (example: $225 per acre), plus the farmer will pay the landlord and additional percentage (example: 30 percent for corn and 40 percent for soybeans) of the amount that the final crop revenue (example: final yield x Oct. 15 local price) exceeds the base crop revenue (example: Crop insurance APH yield x April 1 local price). (See specific crop revenue flexible lease examples in the attached table.)

• Cash rental contract with a base cash rental rate (example: $225/acre), plus the producer will pay the landlord an additional amount (example: $30/acre), if actual yields exceeds the APH crop insurance yield by 10 percent or more (corn example: APH of 180 bushels per acre and final yield of 198 bu./acre or higher).

• Cash rental contract with a base cash rental rate (example: $225/acre), plus the producer will pay the landlord an additional amount (example: $30/acre), if harvest-time (example: Oct. 15) local grain price

THE BOOKWORM SEZ

By Terri Schlichenmeyer

If you married today for the first time, you’d have had plenty of time to consider things. Modern newlyweds are older than those of yesteryear, they’re more educated and more affluent.

What’s more, over 85 percent of us will marry at some time in our lives.

So what keeps a couple together?

The first thing, Krasnow says, is to “work on yourself” and to keep part of your identity separate from that of your husband. Remember who you were before you were Mrs. or Mommy.

Cultivate your own interests and friends, both male and female. Krasnow even advocates separate vacations.

“You don’t get it all from one person in one place,” Krasnow says. In fact, she learned that the happiest wives don’t rely on their husbands for their happiness.

Insist that you both do what you say you’re going to do. Tell each other about your day and your thoughts. Lower your expectations — nobody’s perfect — and accept what is. Inject three elements into your marriage: “trust, respect and intimacy — emotional and physical.” And remember that it’s your marriage and whatever works for you is what’s right.

Overall, though, Krasnow says, the best way to stay married is not to get divorced. Understand that the grass is not greener on the other side of the aisle and that even a “fresh romance” will also go stale eventually.

If you’re a wife, there are many reasons to like reading “The Secret Lives of Wives.” There are also many reasons to raise your eyebrows in surprise.

By using stories from real women who were “willing to reveal all,” as well as through her own experiences, Krasnow shows readers that marriages can thrive and survive, even during a time when divorce is relatively easy. Her advice, and that of experts, will give any struggling bride comfort. I liked Krasnow’s optimism and her been-there honesty.

But even Krasnow was astonished at what she uncovered. To maintain a marriage of longevity, some happily wedded wives are resorting to actions that are unconventional, to say the least.

If you’re limping toward “the finish line” in marriage and you want to know how others got there, you’ll find this book intriguing. For you, “The Secret Lives of Wives” are finally unveiled.

■ Look for the reviewed book at a bookstore or a library near you. You may also find the book at online book retailers.

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.

“I really don’t have much for chores. Day to day I milk in the morning and then the cows get put back on pasture. Chores consist of scraping the parlor down every day. I do put up hay for the winter.”

The Institute for Dairy Ingredient Processing, a component of the new Davis Dairy Plant at South Dakota State University, will provide dairy farmers a means by which to expand domestic and global market opportunities for dairy-based products. The IDIP will provide the facilities and experts to assist dairy ingredient manufacturers in research, development and testing of new dairy-based ingredients and processes.

“Historically, the lack of semi-commercial scale pilot equipment in the United States has limited the ability of manufacturers to develop and introduce new dairy ingredients for domestic and global use,” said Lloyd Metzger, director, Midwest Dairy Foods Research Center at SDSU. “In the past, a dairy-based ingredient manufacturer wanting to test a new product or new system at their plant needed to shut down an entire production line in order to do so. This practice resulted in lost manufacturing time and potential product failure due to lack of real commercial scale-up measurements needed to test production of a new ingredient. The IDIP now provides manufacturers with the means to evaluate the commercial feasibility of full-scale production.”

Midwest dairy farmers, and dairy farmers across the United States, have a long-standing commitment to driving innovation and domestic and global demand for dairy products and ingredients. The $10 million expansion of the SDSU Davis Dairy Plant was funded by dairy farmers through the Midwest Dairy Association and the American Dairy Association of South Dakota, dairy processors, dairy suppliers, alumni and friends of the SDSU Foundation, the state of South Dakota and SDSU. The Dairy Research Institute and research centers across the United States, such as the IDIP, work with and through industry, academic, government and commercial partners to increase pre-competitive, technical research in nutrition, products and sustainability on behalf of all dairy farmers.

The IDIP at SDSU is part of the Midwest Dairy Foods Research Center. The Midwest Dairy Foods Research Center includes researchers and facilities at the University of Minnesota, Iowa State University and SDSU, and offers expertise in cheese, whey, milk and dairy ingredient processing, and dairy product safety, flavor and nutrition. With the addition of the Institute for Dairy Ingredient Processing, commercial scale and feasibility studies can be added to trials.

In addition to the MDFRC, there are five other research centers located across the United States that make up the National Dairy Foods Research Center program. This program is supported by The Dairy Research Institute, which was established under the leadership of America’s dairy farmers and provides industry with dairy product and ingredient research and technical resources.

Feed your inner church lady with ‘Fruit of the Spirit’

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent The lifespan of a church building reflects many physical changes as years roll by, paint peels and roofs blow off.

Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Wells began as a merger between two other Lutheran churches in 1963. Changing times have seen the construction of a parsonage and an education wing, a pipe organ and a grand piano, air conditioning, and an elevator and other amenities for the handicapped.

But some things never change: the worship, the community of neighbors and the awesome power of the church ladies’ food. Feed your own inner church lady with “Fruit of the Spirit,” Good Shepherd’s attractive, durable and encyclopedic new cookbook. You, too, can harness the power to feed the masses, comfort the bereaved and celebrate the good things in life.

When Thanksgiving rolls around, some lucky diners will be faced with the dilemma of what to do with the leftover turkey. My two favorite ways are to “casserolize” it and to make turkey soup, preferably with a rich broth, dumplings or noodles, and chunky vegetables cooked just until tender. For a change of pace, Creamy Corn and Turkey Soup features sautéed aromatics as well as generous amounts of cream cheese and butter. (You could make a healthier version by using lower-fat cream cheese, less butter and skim milk. But do you really want to?)

Creamy Corn and Turkey Soup Submitted by Lauryne Stern 1/2 cup chopped onion 1/2 cup chopped red pepper

Cookbook Corner

2 teaspoons garlic salt 3 tablespoons brown sugar 4 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces 1 small red onion, thinly sliced 1 (12-ounce) bottle of beer Preheat oven or grill to medium-high heat.

Using aluminum foil, create an oblong cooking tray about 13x8x2 inches to be placed directly on the grill or oven rack. Place the salmon filet in the center of the tray. Season with garlic salt, sprinkle with brown sugar and then cover with the pieces of butter. Top with sliced red onions.

Pour beer of choice into the tray to just below the highest point of the filet. Cover tray with aluminum foil to envelop the fish completely.

Place tray on grill with closed lid (or in oven) and cook for about 8 minutes or until completely cooked. Makes 4-6 servings.

■ Using ground turkey instead of beef for Cajun Turkey Burgers creates a moister yet leaner sandwich that’s incredibly tasty, too, especially with the addition of onions, green peppers and some great seasonings. A simple yet imaginative dish, try it when you’re in the mood for “something different”. You can adjust the seasonings for your audience, whether they love to burn their tongues off or prefer a more modest “Minnesota” heat.

Cajun Turkey Burgers Submitted by Sandi Harman 1 pound ground turkey 1/2 cup green onion, sliced 1/2 cup green pepper, diced 1/4 cup bacon bits 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning 2 dashes hot sauce Salt and pepper to taste 1 package buns 1 tomato, sliced 1 red onion, sliced Lettuce Mix turkey, onion, pepper, bacon bits, Cajun seasoning, hot sauce, salt and pepper together and shape into four burgers. Wet hands for ease in shaping the burgers. Grill over medium heat 7 minutes on each side.

Grill buns. Serve with lettuce, tomato slice and red onion slice. Top with 1 tablespoon topping: 1/4 cup ranch dressing 1 green onion, diced 2 dashes hot sauce Mix together.

■ Has anybody else noticed that when I choose the recipe I’m actually going to taste-test for my monthly column, it’s quite often a dessert, cake, pie, cookie or bar? Why would I do that? It’s a mystery. In any case, easy frosting doesn’t have to come out of a plastic supermarket container; it’s almost just as simple to make the following recipe. It’s a peanut-buttery, chocolatey confection that “matches” many types of cake, and my valiant family gives it four “yums” between licking the beaters and the bowl.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

The Johnson clan gives four out of four yums to ‘Quick and Easy Frosting’ 2 tablespoons butter or margarine 4 ounces cream cheese, cubed 1 can cream-style corn 2 cups chicken broth 3/4 cup 2-percent milk 2 cups shredded leftover cooked turkey Sauté onions and peppers in butter. Add cream cheese slowly until melted. Then add corn, broth, milk and turkey. Cook over low heat until heated through, stirring occasionally.

■ The biggest mistake cooks make with fish dishes is overcooking.

Fish is extremely delicate and cooks very quickly in just a few minutes. The Beer Salmon recipe calls for cooking a rather large (12-inch) chunk of fish flesh in only 8 minutes in a medium hot oven or grill. An easy rule-of-thumb: When it flakes, it’s done.

It’s hard — balancing all the demands and still creating something important — family meal time. Here are some ideas to cut down your time in the kitchen, and avoid costly trips through the drive up.

Make a plan. When you plan your meals and your grocery list ahead, you’ll ensure peace of mind that you have everything you need plus save time by avoiding extra trips to the store.

Keep meals simple. My rule of thumb is one thing from each food group: protein, milk, bread, vegetables and fruit. This could include items as easy as cut-up fruit, raw vegetables, whole wheat bread and a glass of milk to go along with your protein.

Cook once, eat twice.

• A roast cooked on the weekend can provide many options for additional meals: mix with vegetables, potatoes and/or rice for a casserole, make beef and noodles, beef sandwiches, or fried rice with beef.

• Ground beef cooked ahead can turn up as sloppy Joes, a pizza topping, in chili or to “beef up” spaghetti sauce.

• Cooked chicken is great in quesadillas, chicken noodle or rice soup, stir fry with vegetables and rice, on top of salads, or spiced up on nachos.

• Extra pasta has endless possibilities and with jarred sauces, you can have almost a gourmet meal in minutes. Add your extra chicken or beef and you have nearly all the makings of a soup or a casserole for another day.

On that other day, you can enjoy time preparing fruit, getting drinks and laughing with your children while the soup warms or casserole bakes.

Nebraska Extension has a website called “Cook It Quick.” You’ll find lots of ideas, plus a monthly newsletter you can sign up for.

Anyone ever tell you that you’re full of MomSense?

Our grandson Landon is mature beyond his age. At 17 months, he’s already hit the proverbial terrible twos. Within the span of seven days, he lost Papa’s (a.k.a. my hubby, Mike’s) toothbrush, bent Papa’s glasses beyond repair, and locked himself in his house while his mother was taking out the garbage. At 7:30 on a crisp fall Saturday morning, Elizabeth walked across the street barefoot and pregnant to her grandmother’s house to use their phone. She called me.

“Mom, Landon locked himself in the house and Mark is in the pig barns.

29 Annual Rural Legislative Forum Thursday, December 1, 2011

Often individuals contemplating suicide will give some sort of indication.

You can help.

Don’t be afraid to ask — “Are you thinking about harming yourself?” or “Have you been thinking about ending your life?” By raising the issue, you are not likely to instill the possibility of suicide in someone who is not already thinking of it.

Listen — to how the person describes the problem and learn about what problems the individual believes suicide would solve. Your genuine attention and concern may be the most helpful element of offering hope.

Offer support — to the individual in distress with “I care” statements such as “I want to help you” and “You are not alone” and “I will help you get the services you need.”

employers and family members who speak the truth in love?

Sadly, for too many years I’ve erred on the side of being defensive, rather than being teachable. It feels a little bit like sitting in a dentist chair to willingly enter into a conversation with someone who tells us that our words or actions were careless. Correction cuts.

Rebuke hurts. Those who are wise will get past that pain rather than letting the well-intentioned advice fester.

They’ll discern what’s true, reject what isn’t, and apply the wisdom to their character.

English poet, Francis Quaries wisely said, “If any speak ill of thee, flee home to thy own conscience, and examine thy heart; if thou be guilty, it is a just correction; if not guilty, it is a fair instruction; make use of both, so shalt thou distill honey out of gall, and out of an open enemy create a secret friend.”

PORCH, from pg. 10M fried eggs for her husband. Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen.

“Careful,” he said. “CAREFUL! Put in more butter! You’re cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them!

TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter. Gracious! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They’re going to STICK! Careful. CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to me when you’re cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you CRAZY? Have you LOST your mind? Don’t forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!” The wife stared at him. “What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don’t know how to fry a couple of eggs?”

The husband calmly replied, “I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I’m driving” (Author unknown).

Although this story is taken to an extreme, it does raise the question: How well do you and I receive correction when it’s merited and necessary?
