THE LAND, DECEMBER 9, 2011 << www.TheLandOnline.com >> “Where Farm and Family Meet”

Sometimes it can be hard to tell the difference between a fad and a trend — especially when it comes to eating habits. However, I am confident the local foods movement and the closely related Farm-to-School food movement both qualify as trends. Consider what happened this past September — Minnesota Farm-to-School Month. A record number of schools celebrated the month by serving locally grown fruits and vegetables ranging from apples to sweet corn to squash. Equally impressive is the fact that Farm-to-School program participation now appears to have become firmly entrenched in all regions of Minnesota — urban, suburban and rural. This broad participation is important on a number of levels. First, it’s good for Minnesota’s school kids. Farm-to-School programs encour- Dave Frederickson age them to eat fresh, locally grown foods, creating healthy long-term eating habits. Second, the Farm-to-School movement also helps strengthen local economies by expanding markets for small and mid-sized farms, whose products typically have been less likely to make it onto American students’ lunch trays. That keeps more of the “food dollar” circulating in local economies. It also builds a greater sense of community by creating new ties among children, farmers, parents, educators and others. Another benefit is the educational aspect of Farmto-School initiatives. Many schools have used their programs as starting points to teach kids about food and our food supply. Farmers visit schools. Kids visit farms. Teachers and students grow veggies in school gardens. One school even set up a mechanical cow for students to “milk.” The Minnesota Department of Agriculture, along with partners such as the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, the Minnesota School Nutrition Association, the Minnesota Department of Education and the Minnesota Department of Health will be working to build on these successes. One exciting step is a new online directory the MDA created to make it easier for schools and other institutions to find local farmers who can provide them with locally grown foods. Today nearly 70 farms are listed in the database, and more will be added soon. The online directory allows institutional buyers to search for farmers by location and by products offered. It also allows them to search for farms that deliver directly to schools or through a distributor. Minnesota farmers who sell to schools can list their farm in the database by becoming a Minnesota Grown member for just $20 per year. The rapid growth of the Farm-to-School movement is a win not only for our students but also for Minnesota’s farmers. As Gov. Dayton noted in the proclamation for Minnesota Farm-to-School Month, “farmto-school programs support the sustainability of family farms, build relationships within communities, and help revitalize local economies.” Our students are enjoying fresh, wholesome, locally grown produce. Our farmers are enjoying a new, domestic

Hill sources now say the actual cuts contained in the bill were closer to $17 billion, far short of their own target and far, far short of the Super and the White House’s talked-about target of $30 billion. Why wouldn’t the Head Clucks let their chicks in on the plan they were ready to give the Super Dupers and, possibly, make the law of the land? “Farm lobbyists,” The Hill went to explain, “say this reflects the fact they do not have the backing of the committees for their proposal.” Whoa, the daily double: a blinding glimpse of the obvious and the plain truth in one declarative sentence.

Bicameral, bipartisan left out of billions” in cuts to maintain “key priorities to grow the country’s agriculture economy” to you? Take out the spin and the best to be said about the twin failures of the Supers and the aggies is that both failed. This is good because neither had the slightest connection to democracy, political courage and thoughtful leadership. There never was anything “bipartisan” or “bicameral” about either. Instead, both were wasteful exercises in arrogance and hubris. The next best thing is that their failures open the door to our success. We — you and me — must direct these hired hands to do the work we need done. After all, that’s how democracy works. ’Course, you already know this because that’s how it works on every farm and ranch everyday. ••• Alan Guebert’s “Farm and Food File” is published weekly in more than 70 newspapers in North America.

OPINION

THE LAND, DECEMBER 9, 2011

GUEBERT, from pg. 4A So all this “bipartisan, bicameral” mush was really cover for one Senate Dem. and one House Repub. — whose joint experience at leading Congressional ag committees equals their combined time driving 747s: none — to wipe their fingerprints off a Southern-tilted farm bill that would have never made it out of either committee had the normal, democratic process been followed. Moreover, despite the pre-flop spin and, later, their refusal to share their secretive, two-person plan, evidence also points to Lucas and Stabenow’s inability to do math. Their farm bill proposal likely didn’t cut $23 billion in farm and food spending over the coming decade that each said was doable in the run-up of the Super Duper’s collapse. Hill sources now say the actual cuts contained in the bill were closer to $17 billion, far short of their own target and far, far short of the Super and the White House’s talked-about target of $30 billion. Does any of this sound like “sound ideas” or “tens

‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news The Christmas Story In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.” “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?” The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God.”

“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it be to me as you have said.” Then the angel left her. At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that Do not be afraid. I bring the mother of you good news of great my Lord should joy that will be for all the come to me? As people.

He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you now dismiss your servant in peace. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all people, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel.” The child’s father and mother marveled at what was said about him. Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: “This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that

And a sword will pierce your own soul too.” There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, and then was a widow until she was 84. She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying. Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem. When Joseph and Mary had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth. And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him. —Luke 1:26 - 2:40 New International Version

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.” When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise him, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he had been conceived. When the time of their purification according to the Law of Moses had been completed, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him

be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register. So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

Cover story

Minnesota-to-Zambia connection offers orphans better lives By DEE GOERGE The Land Correspondent

A

s we gather with our families and feast on this year’s harvest during the holidays, seeds are being planted 8,500 miles away in Lusaka, Zambia. A 12-acre garden means more than just food for a family of orphans with a Minnesota mom. It’s a crucial part of creating a normal home life and work opportunities for children rescued from the streets of Lusaka. Carol McBrady of Maple Lake, Minn., never imagined farming would be important to her when she became a social worker nearly 30 years ago. After years of working with Minnesota children, she found her heart’s calling after going on a mission trip to Africa. She sold her Minnesota home in 2005 to permanently move to Lusaka. She had started a nonprofit, Action For Children-Zambia, and rented a house — Salvation Home — in the city to take in as many as 42 children at a time. With simple faith, volunteer

supporters based in Minnesota and other parts of the United States raising funds, and social workers and volunteers in Lusaka, she has rehabilitated more than 175 children as well as helped hundreds of other children still on the street. McBrady receives no salary, has occasional volunteers who help at the home and a parttime cook, so the majority of donated funds go directly to caring for children. The gift of a 50-acre farm from a village an hour out of the city offers the promise of a sustainable future for “Mama Carol” and her children. Christmas this year will be extra special at Kulanga Bana Farm — translation: Keeping our Children — as the first wing of a residential complex is being completed for 24 people including children between ages 3 and 18, in addition to an existing building for the 12 young men who run the farm. The

organization Touch Ireland financially supported the project, and a Zambian couple, who have a decade of experience as missionaries on a South Africa farm, will serve as parents and directors at the farm. “The farm is critical to the AFCZ mission,” McBrady said in an e-mail from Zambia. “It provides permanent homes for street youth that don’t have relatives. It provides training in agriculture and income-generating opportunities. It feeds all the other programs, and in time will help us sustain our organization by bringing in the profits to use.” Four years ago the land was brush and hard clay ground. Living in a tent and thatched shacks, and with just hoes and axes, 12 boys and a few village elders dug up the garden plot. In 2009, McBrady and the children at Salvation Home enjoyed the first fruits from the land: pumpkins, tomatoes, leafy vegetables, cabbage, carrots, onions and an everyday staple: maize — ground, boiled and made into mealy meal. The boys who farmed the land carried baskets of food three miles to catch a bus and paid luggage fees to bring the vegetables to the city. In 2010, thanks to a generous U.S. donor, the boys had a concrete house to live in and a used pickup to transport the food that was harvested in the spring. Crops are planted in late-November just before the rainy season. In May, maize is shocked to dry before shelling and storing to feed the children at Salvation Home for the year. It takes 330 pounds of maize per week to feed 42 children. “It has been wonderful,” McBrady said. “Every Sunday, we’d go out to the farm and pick vegetables to take back.” The 12 boys, 16 and older, are part of a formal cooperative McBrady set up, and they can sell extra produce and are paid based on shares. Much of the excess produce goes to a hotel, where some of See SALVATION, pg. 11A

basins to add nutrients and hold water for crops the following year. Still, last spring’s yields were down. While donors provided lots of seed, there wasn’t money for much fertilizer, McBrady said. Volunteers in Minnesota who support AFCZ gather and send a variety of donations — things many folks take for granted. The farm could be expanded much more quickly with a rototiller, and hoses and irrigation systems would be helpful to distribute water from the well, which is manually pumped. Fertilizer, seeds (especially sweet corn) and even durable blue jeans all make a big difference, McBrady said, in a country where orphans aren’t treated as well as animals are treated in the United States. “It is so important that we can continue to grow this farm so the kids — especially our oldest boys — never have to go back to the streets,” she said. “It is so crucial to make us self-sustaining.” AFCZ plans to add a kitchen, dining room and apartments for volunteers to the farm, as well as separate dormitories for boys and girls. She welcomes farmers and people experienced in agriculture willing to volunteer to teach the young farmers. Cash contributions are always needed. For example, it costs $200 for each bunk bed to meet Zambian requirements. Individuals, organizations and businesses interested in donating cash or items for the farm or Salvation Home can contact the Minnesota office for more information.

farm life every month of the year. Written in an entertaining rhyme and rhythm, “A Farm Country Christmas Eve” combines the children’s eager anticipation of receiving gifts with the family working together on Christmas Eve milking cows by hand, feeding calves and welcoming a new baby calf to the farm. One page depicts Mom, seated on her stool by a cow, squirting a stream of milk to the cat waiting for a warm treat. “Tommy’s Adventure,” “Nancy’s Adventure” and “Field Work” comprise the “If I Were a Farmer” series. Preschoolers through second graders will enjoy the stories taking place in 1950 when Fredrickson was a little boy growing up on a small farm near New Prague, Minn. “Field Work” features both Tommy and Nancy who talk about what they would do if they were farmers. Pictures of old tractors catch Tommy’s attention while new farm tractors interest Nancy. As the story progresses through the field work seasons, the left page shows Tommy working with old machinery while Nancy works with modern machinery across the page. The artists’ colorful, true-to-life drawings in both series will bring back memories to anyone who grew up on a farm in the 1950s. “I’m about accuracy in my books,” he said. Fredrickson is available to give a free presentation to any civic group, school or library. He will adapt the length of his presentation to the amount of time available. He recites one of his books and explains why he writes about farming. One of the highlights of his career as an author was a trip to France in 2004 where he performed in a country school in the south-

ern mountain region and in a classroom in Lyon.

Fredrickson has fond memories of his childhood on a small farm. “On a ‘family farm’ the word family comes first, but the inter-dependency between family and farm makes sacrifice inevitable. I was extremely lucky to have had loving parents who tried to make the work fun and interesting and always let me know that I was loved.” When Fredrickson wrote his first books, his wife, Nancy, colored and edited the pages before printing and binding them with plastic combs in their home. In 2008 Beaver’s Pond Press in Edina, Minn., began producing the books. It’s not too late to order any or all of his books to give as Christmas gifts.

Grain Outlook You should have paid attention

Livestock Angles Futures, cash moving apart

Grain Angles Has luster come off markets?

The following market analysis is for the week ending Dec. 2. CORN — Economic news once again reigned supreme to drive price direction, a situation that is not expected to change anytime soon. Six world banks, including the Federal Reserve, provided the market with optimistic hopes that the European debt crisis may be eased by indicating they would supply liquidity to world economies by reducing the interest rate on dollar liquidity swaps by 50 basis points. This coincided with China lowering reserve requirements for PHYLLIS NYSTROM Country Hedging their banks. This is the first time St. Paul since 2008 that they have cut their rate. These moves by the banks drove the U.S. dollar lower and commodity prices higher. Now don’t you wish you had paid more attention in school when this stuff was taught? Positive news in the U.S. economy was also supportive with the unemployment rate dropping to a 2 1/2 year low of 8.6 percent, down from 9 percent. The ISM manufacturing number rose to 52.7 in November from 50.8 in the previous month. U.S. domestic corn usage was a highlight when weekly ethanol production hit another new record at 930,000 barrels per day. Exports to Brazil and others keep this demand sharp. March corn’s reaction resulted in a 5 1/4 cent gain for the week to close at $5.95 1/4 per bushel. Limiting the upside was yet another disappointing

Once again the livestock markets continue to amaze. The futures and the cash markets moved in opposite directions, leaving many to wonder which market is right. The fact is the cash market is today’s market and the futures market is looking into the market of tomorrow. Cash cattle saw another week of strong packer buying forcing prices to trade premium once again to the futures. This all despite the fact that packers are deep in the red in their margin and the boxed beef trade is extremely slow. One reason for the cash strength is that numbers are fairly tight in the northJOE TEALE ern feeding areas and this is forcBroker ing packers to be aggressive in Great Plains Commodity their bidding for live inventory. Afton It appears that the futures are anticipating the increase in numbers in the next few weeks and are meeting resistance on any rallies. This has left a fairly large discount of futures to cash. However, this has benefited the cattle hedger who needs to move inventory at the present time with a positive basis. Since the beef cutout has been on the slide of late and the movement of boxed beef has slowed to poor levels, it is beginning to seem that demand is more of a concern than the supply. This could also be another reason for the sluggish performance by the futures as traders anticipate the weakening demand and the future effect on prices. Considering the premiums offered in some of the deferred contracts, producers should consider some protection for their inventories.

Many grain producers who held grain unpriced to this point in the marketing year are asking if the luster has come off the commodity markets. With the dearth of bearish news and the lack of bullish news, the market has lost much of the speculative interest of investors. The most recent Commodity Futures Trading Commission weekly Commitments of Traders Report showed speculative traders holding net-futures ownership of about 228,000 in corn, which is the smallest this position has been since late July 2010. This group also trimmed their soybean net-futures ownerTOM NEHER ship to only 11,000 contracts, AgStar VP Agribusiness down from the 228,000 contracts & Grain Specialist Rochester seen in late December 2010. Market volatility has eased, decreasing from almost 54 percent in mid-July to about 28 percent today. Could we be looking at $3 corn and $6 soybean prices in the near future? This question is beginning to haunt those who are holding on to unpriced grain. Those who have made commitments to high-priced land are feeling the nagging fear of regret. Yet, as we look at the tight world supply and demand situation, it is difficult to see that much has changed in the last month. The answer lies in the human psyche and the fear that the world economy will languish for the next few years. Or even worse, that the crisis in the European banking system could cause another global freeze in the flow of capital. This fear and volatility causes a paralysis in the investment and consumer communi-

China to stop stockpiling after record corn crop bear watching, but there are no red flags at present. Southern Brazil and eastern Argentina are forecast to receive rain and the majority of the growing areas are not experiencing any significant problems. Has the market discounted a big South American crop too early? It’s still a long time to their harvest in a La Nina year. China’s manufacturing PMI for November was lower than estimates at 47.9 and the lowest since July 2009. OUTLOOK: Without a production hiccup in South America, soybeans will have a more difficult time rallying in the short run. For November, soybean prices were down 6.3 percent and are down 18.8 percent year-to-date. Look for outside markets’ swings from “risk-on to risk-off ” to be a heavy influence on direction and ranges in tandem with any changes in Chinese demand and South American weather. January soybeans should find first support at $11 with resistance at $11.50 per bushel, with a longer term range of $10.75 to $11.70 per bushel.

The next USDA report is Dec. 9. ❖ in the weeks ahead is more than likely going to be determined by demand rather than by supply. This demand will more than likely be determined by the state of the economy in those upcoming weeks. With all considered, producers should approach the hog market with some skepticism, and protect some inventory in the months ahead. ❖

Pork production outstripping demand TEALE, from pg. 18A After seeing hog prices advance for a few weeks, it looks as if the current rally is running out of gas. Pork cutouts have come under pressure over the past couple of weeks but the volume in the pork product remains good. The culprit appears to be the shear number of hogs available as reflected in the good slaughter numbers during the fall. Despite the fact that demand for pork has improved, the amount of pork produced is outstripping that improved demand. The one thing that pork would still have going in its favor is the fact that

When this happens, the turtle cannot move forward. This can only happen when the turtle’s legs reach for the ground and sticks out its neck. As a child I remember having the story “The Tortoise and the Hare” read to me. Today I wonder who is playing the part of the turtle and who the rabbit is. Do we have the courage and determination to face the challenges that we will encounter? Will we play the part of the rabbit and spend our time thinking that we are the fastest ones in the race? Those who think they can predict the future of the markets, tend to play the role of the “Hare.” While those who practice margin management, tend to play the role of the “Tortoise.” Which role will we play today? ❖

SOYBEANS — January soybeans bounced 29 1/4 cents higher the first week of December to settle at $11.35 3/4 per bushel. The outside factors outlined in the corn commentary apply to the soybean market as well. Export sales experienced another dismal week at just 18 million bushels.

NYSTROM, from pg. 18A export sales number of only 11 million bushels. Total export commitments are now 4 percent behind last year. Competition from South America, India and Ukraine plus no buying interest from China also contributed to the subdued rally. China is saying their 2011-12 corn production was another record (the eighth in a row) at 191.75 million metric tons versus the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimate of 184.5 mmt. The Chinese government expects to hold off further stockpiling to prevent domestic prices from rising. This should reduce or delay any expectations for China corn imports this coming year. While not on the main radar, keep an eye on developing dryness in Mexico. Argentina upped their corn production forecast to 30 mmt, just north of the USDA 29 mmt estimate. OUTLOOK: Support levels held as commodities staged a seasonal rally back from oversold conditions and helped by outside news in the week following Thanksgiving. Fundamentals seem secondary to macroeconomic forces, but domestic demand has kept basis levels firm. Futures markets should have to shoulder more of the responsibility to keep the pipeline adequately supplied. This combination of influences should keep the

Stabenow and Rep. Lucas are still somewhat limited; however, there were some specifics released regarding the Commodity Title of the potential new farm bill. The Commodity Title determines the payment level, calculations and other specifics relative to farm program payments. Under the proposal, direct payments, the ACRE program and the SURE program would be eliminated. These payments and programs would be replaced by higher target prices and crop loan rates and a new farm safety net program called the Ag

There replace the need for passage of frequent “adwould also be a special program hoc” disaster programs after a natural disaster occurs. for cotton producers called STAX, with enhanced The SURE program has been available to all eligible crop insurance coverage for cotton only. Most commonly mentioned proposals for a new farm bill would either eliminate or significantly cut direct payments to farmers. Direct payments, which became part of government farm programs with the so-called “Freedom-to-Farm” farm bill in 1996, have been portrayed quite negatively by public interest groups, the media and some farm groups. The direct payments were implemented to replace the more “open-ended” farm program payments, which existed prior to the 1996 legislation. Direct payments are “fixed” payments per crop base acre, and are paid to eligible farmers each year, regardless of the actual crop yields, crop prices or farm income. The direct payment levels and formulas have been modified slightly by the 2002 and 2008 farm bills. Estimated current annual federal spending on direct payments is approximately $4.9 billion per year. The “Average Crop Revenue Election” program is a voluntary “safety net” program that was implemented for the 2009 crop year, as part of the 2008 farm bill, and will continue through the 2012 crop year. The ACRE program offers the potential of “revenue-based” safety-net payments, based on yield and price, as compared to the “price-only” safety net payments that existed previously. Enrollment in ACRE has been quite low due to favorable grain prices and crop income, difficulty in understanding the program, required landlord approval on rented land and the requirement for a 20 percent reduction in direct payments with ACRE.

Attend farm group meetings; share your farm bill ideas PROGRAMS, from pg. 22A would be made from the 75 to 90 percent loss range, in order to avoid duplication with potential crop insurance indemnity payments. • The ARC payment rate would be factored by 60 percent (0.60), with a maximum payment of 9 percent (0.09) of the base revenue for a crop. • The maximum total ARC payment for all crops would be $100,000 per eligible individual, which will depend on any possible changes in payment eligibility in a new farm bill. • Participation in ARC would likely require the purchase of some level of crop insurance coverage. ARC example for corn Base revenue = 180 bu./acre x $4.50/bushel = $810/acre Actual revenue = 160 bu./acre x $4/bu. = $640/acre (79 percent of base revenue) ARC payment = $810 x 0.90 = $729 - $640 = $89 x 0.60 = $53.40/acre Sign-up for the ARC program and other farm program alternatives would be by the farmer, with no signatures or approval needed from landlords or owners on cash rented farmland. Land owners would still need to enroll on farms under sharerental agreements. Since the ARC program enrollment is based on planted acres, rather than crop base acres, it will be much easier to adjust farm pro-

gram acres from year-to-year, as crop acreage changes. As an alternative to the ARC program, the farm bill proposal would give farmers a one-time choice to stay with a traditional Target Price program, somewhat similar to the current CounterCyclical Payment program, with no direct payments. CCP payments would occur when the national average price for a given crop drops below the target price down to the national Commodity Credit Corp. loan price. If the national average price drops below the national CCC rate, there would be potential for loan deficiency payments, similar to the current program. Before this option is totally discounted, consider that it included a rather substantial increase in target prices. Proposed target prices in the new farm bill proposal were: • Corn $3.64/bu. (currently $2.63/bu.) • Soybeans $8.31/bu. (currently $6/bu.) • Wheat $5.50/bu. (currently $4.17/bu.) These proposed target price increases would represent a 30 to 40 percent increase above the current rates. If similar increases are included for the CCC loan rates, the adjusted loan rates would be $2.96/bu. for corn, $7.31/bu. for soybeans and $4.27/bu. for wheat. Of course, these potential significant increases in target prices and CCC loan rates for the various crops are quite preliminary, and are likely to change before a new farm bill is finalized.

The decision to eliminate direct payments is not likely to occur without a battle, as there is a big difference in the amount of direct payments that producers currently receive for various farm crops. Southern rice producers receive an average of $96 per crop base acre and cotton growers receive approximately $34 per base acre in direct payments annually, compared to an average of about $24 per acre for Midwest corn producers. Farmers in the South received an average 30 to 40 percent of their net income in 2010 from government farm program payments, while Midwest farmers averaged less than 20 percent of net income from those payments. The direct payments are calculated on the historical crop base acres rather than actual planted acres (see table on Page 22A). This accounts for some of the regional differences regarding proposals for the continuation or elimination of direct payments. Bottom line There will likely be many meetings and hearings in the coming months regarding a new farm bill. It is a good time for farmers to take part in farm organization and commodity group meetings to find out more about various farm bill proposals and to have input into the process. ••• Kent Thiesse is a government farm programs analyst and a vice president at MinnStar Bank in Lake Crystal, Minn.

PORCH, from pg. 28A myriad of daily mom decisions. It involves being bold and taking risks, loving those around you, and being sensible while figuring out what works and what doesn’t. Being sensible means having a good head on your shoulders, being levelheaded, and making solid, good sense choices. It also means checking all the doors before you break into a window. Lesson learned. Being sensible is a tall task for anyone, especially when our brains feel foggy. Grief, exhaustion, stress and parenting, all impact mental function and concentration. When our minds are fuddled, people start and end projects, but find themselves missing key steps in the middle. They walk into rooms and are clueless to what they were going to get or do once they got there. Age, overload and, yes, preschoolers, can certainly fog our thinking. One of the best ways to gain some good old fashioned common sense and, better than that, wisdom is to have a teachable spirit. A wife was making a breakfast of 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? Do we appreciate or resent spouses, 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.” ••• Lenae Bulthuis is a wife, mom and friend who muses from her back porch on a Minnesota grain and livestock farm.

mushrooms, but the author suggests using wild mushrooms if you get the chance. Serve with red meats, or as an entrée in itself with pasta. Garlic Mushrooms Serves 4 as a side dish 12 ounces small, pearly-white button mushrooms A couple tablespoons of unsalted butter 2 shallots or a small onion, finely chopped 2 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped A pinch of dried thyme 3-4 tablespoons dry white wine 1 cup half-and-half or light cream Small handful of fresh parsley or cilantro leaves, finely chopped Clean the mushrooms; trim off the stem-ends, but leave whole. Melt the butter in a glass bowl for around 30 seconds, then stir in the shallots or onion, garlic, thyme and wine. Microwave at full power until the liquid has fully evaporated, around 1-2 minutes; stirring once is a good idea. Add the mushrooms, stir well, and cook in 1-minute bursts until just done, around 4-5 minutes. Stir in the cream, microwave again to heat through, and serve immediately with the fresh herbs sprinkled on top. ■ Zucchini and Tomatoes is another example of the power of “lidded cooking.” The energy and time savings are so obvious once you try it, you’re going to slap your forehead: “Why didn’t I think of that before?” There are plenty of yummy nutrients in this dish, and it’s full of flavor and color.

pink flesh completely. Put the salmon in the pan with the peppered side down; season the top of the fish lightly with salt; and clamp the lid on. Set the timer for two minutes and turn the heat off when the timer goes off. Place the lid slightly ajar and leave the fish for one minute if you like rare salmon, two minutes if you like it fully cooked. Serve with the peppered side — which will have an attractive blackened look — facing up. A lemon wedge completes the picture, though some chopped fresh herbs will add a bit of greenery and extra flavor. ■ This Sour Cream Sauce will complement your salmon nicely. It’s also great with chicken or as a garnish for Mexican food. I’ve made a similar version of it for years, but this one’s better, as my family agrees. Four out of four “yums” from the Johnson clan! Sour Cream Sauce Serves 4 1 1/4 cup sour cream Juice of two limes Large handful of fresh cilantro, roughly chopped 1-2 green chilies, deseeded if you wish, finely chopped 1 green pepper Salt and freshly ground black pepper Mix all the ingredients except the green pepper and refrigerate until needed. Just before you’re ready to serve, deseed and chop the green pepper fairly finely. Mix in, season with salt and pepper, and serve at once. ■ Garlic Mushrooms are prepared in the microwave, saving time and energy. Microwaves excel at creating steam, which is a lovely way to cook many vegetables. You can use store-bought

Salt and freshly ground black pepper 2-3 paper-thin slices of onion 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar Small handful of fresh basil leaves Place a lidded pan over medium heat. Pour in enough oil to make a shallow puddle, then put in the zucchini, followed by the tomatoes as a layer on top, and then the onion as a final layer. Season with salt and pepper. Clamp the lid on and cook for around five minutes, until the zucchini slices are cooked al dente. (Leaving them in the pan, off the heat, for five minutes will make them fully soft, if that’s what you want.) Dress with vinegar and top with torn basil leaves. ■ Crispy, succulent fried chicken in less than half an hour? Yup. The secret once again is the lidded cooking. Do yourself a favor and make a little gravy or sauce with the pan drippings, as the recipe suggests. You won’t regret it. Chicken Pieces Under the Lid “Roast chicken in a frying pan” But only takes less than half the time 4 pieces chicken pieces (with the bones) Vegetable oil Salt and pepper Lightly coat the bottom of the pan with oil and put in the chicken, skin side down. Season with pepper and a tiny bit of salt. Put the pan over a high heat, cover it, and wait until you hear the chicken sizzling vigorously. Turn the heat down to medium-high. Set the timer for 10 minutes. When the timer goes off, turn the pieces; cover and cook for another five minutes. They may take another five after that, 10 at most. Breasts could take longer than legs because they’re thicker. The result should be crisp skin and succulent, juicy flesh. If you want the skin crisper still, turn the heat down when the chicken’s done and turn the pieces again so the skin gets a final blast of dry heat. If you want to get really fancy, you could take the cooked pieces out and make a little gravy by deglazing the pan with wine or stock, a little flour (optional) and seasonings. “The Green Kitchen: Techniques and Recipes for Cutting Energy Use, Saving Money and Reducing Waste” is available online and at bookstores. Just don’t confuse it with “In the Green Kitchen” by Alice Waters, which is also an excellent book on cooking “sustainably.”

THE LAND, DECEMBER 9, 2011

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent I like the motto: If you’re not gonna be part of the solution, at least don’t be part of the problem. Although we all feel helpless sometimes in the face of environmental catastrophes and gloomy predictions of global warming/cooling/flooding/drought, there are many things we can do to cut our personal contribution to the worldwide problems of expending energy and creating waste, without making any sacrifices. Best of all, most of these techniques save time as well — that’s a commodity you can’t put a price on. One of the things we’ve learned is: Little things count. Conserving things like water, energy and food are tasks we can do ourselves, in our own homes, to give Mother Earth a better shot. “The Green Kitchen: Techniques and Recipes for Cutting Energy Use, Saving Money and Reducing Waste” by Richard Ehrlich will be both inspirational and practical for those who want to “live green” (and there are more and more of us each day). You can easily attain a green kitchen with simple methods such as cooking with the lid on; using the microwave and pressure cooker to their fullest potential (instead of the oven); cooking in large batches and freezing half; reducing kitchen waste; and using alternatives to chemical cleaners. ■ Salmon Steak Au Poivre (that’s French for “with pepper”) is amazingly fast and easy, yet has all the cachet of a fine dining experience. It only takes five minutes to impress your “audience,” hardly enough time to open a bottle of wine and toss a salad. The recipe is for one piece of fish; make as many as you need, without crowding the pan. Using the pan’s lid helps “steam” the fish to perfection. Salmon Steak Au Poivre 1 salmon steak, around 1 inch thick Freshly ground black pepper and salt, to taste Vegetable oil Lemon wedges or fresh herbs for garnish Wipe one side of the salmon dry with a strip of paper towel. Pour oil into a heavy lidded frying pan, preferably nonstick, to coat the bottom lightly; put the pan over a high heat. Set your peppermill to produce a coarse grind, and grind pepper onto the salmon to make a uniform coating that covers every bit of the flesh. If you like a lot of pepper, grind on enough to hide the

Broker: Consumer demand may support dairy prices $1.77 “looks like what the downside range of risk could be.” Mattke advised producers to “stay defensive in nearby months. Look to the tools you’re most comfortable with whether it be futures, puts, or fences. Keep the protection nearby and in that first quarter time frame,” he said, but “going beyond that I think it’s a bit early until we see some indications that the long-term trend for the dairy market is turning to down. Right now we don’t see that yet.” FC Stone dairy broker Boris Maslovsky said in their Nov. 28 eDairy Insider Opening Bell that consumer demand may support dairy prices. “Black Friday was a blockbuster,” Maslovsky said. “Sales were extremely strong, well above expectations and are driving equities up. Consumer spending for televisions and other goods may filter into food markets.” However, he cautions that China’s milk imports are down by as much as half so international markets may weigh on U.S. dairy prices.

the China concern reporting that, in the June-to-October period, China imported just 150 million pounds of whole milk powder, down 45 percent from a year ago. Purchases are expected to pick up ahead of the Chinese Lunar New Year, which starts Jan. 23, according to the DDR. Whole milk powder out of Oceania is priced at $1.54 to $1.70/lb., up about 7 cents since mid-October, according to USDA’s Dairy Market News. Brooks warned in the Dec. 1 eDairy Morning Executive Edition that the global macro-economic picture looks weak, while milk production is up. He adds that China’s economy has slowed and Europe is in trouble. Maslovsky wrote: “the more support Europe gets, the less chance of the dollar soaring and limiting U.S. exports.” ■ Meanwhile, the DDR says third quarter cheese use was slowing, based on USDA data. Disappearance of American cheese was off 4.3 percent, the worst quarter in four years, according to Editor Alan Levitt. He adds that disappearance of other cheese was up just 1.8 percent. Combined, total cheese use was down 0.6 percent from the prior year in third quarter after running nearly 5 percent higher in the first half of 2011. Butter movement, on the other hand, remained robust in third quarter, Levitt said. Commercial use was up 12.2 percent, “helping to clear very heavy production volumes.” Disappearance was up almost 10 percent in the first three quarters of the year, according to the USDA, and manufacturers were successful in moving powder in the third quarter. Nonfat dry milk and skim milk powder use in third quarter was up about 11 percent versus a year ago, according to the USDA production and inventory figures. Fluid milk sales were down 1.3 percent. USDA’s Dairy Products report indicates milk is being channeled to the churn and the dryer. October butter production hit 146 million pounds, up 6.4 percent from September and 19.6 percent above October 2010. Nonfat dry milk and skim milk powder output, at 142.7 million pounds, was up 8 percent from 2010. Cheddar cheese output totaled 249.9 million pounds, virtually unchanged from September but 5.8 percent below a year ago. American cheese, at 352 million pounds, was up 4 percent from September and 1.2 percent below a year ago.

■ In export news, the Cooperatives Working Together program accepted 12 requests for export assistance this week from Dairy Farmers of America, Darigold and United Dairymen of Arizona to sell a total of 7.4 million pounds of Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese to customers in Asia, the Middle East and Central America. The CWT’s 2011 cheese exports now total 88.3 million pounds. The CWT will have “a very robust future,” in 2012 according to the National Milk Producers Federation’s Chris Galen in Thursday’s DairyLine, now that participation exceeds 70 percent of the U.S. milk supply. Created in 2003 to help dairy farmers, Galen said the decision was made two years ago to concentrate on export assistance. The 2012 budget will be $35 million, Galen said, with the majority going to American-type cheese, a quarter to butter and butterfat products, and $5 million held in reserve for possible inclusion of milk powders if necessary. “CWT has had a big role the past couple years in helping augment our cheese exports,” Galen said. About twothirds of all Cheddar and Americantype cheese exported this year was facilitated by the CWT, he said, 18 percent of all cheese exported this year has been the result of the CWT and, “at 2 cents/cwt., it’s a very modest investment that farmers and cooperatives are making in a program that basically helps everyone with better prices.” The majority of Asian exports go to Japan, Galen said, but he expects exports to Korea to continue to grow with the new free trade agreement, plus a significant portion of product is going to the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia and Egypt. “They are important export markets for the U.S. overall,” he said. “And the more people participate, that will give a bigger budget to facilitate more exports.” ■ Milk prices could average around $20/cwt. for 2011, more than $3.50 higher than last year, according to Dairy Profit Weekly’s Dave Natzke in Friday’s DairyLine. “However, two government reports this week, recapping dairy financial factors for October and November, indicate profit margins will be shrinking in the final quarter of the year,” he said. The USDA’s monthly report on milk See MIELKE, pg. 3B


Three-year cycle

3 B THE LAND, DECEMBER 9, 2011

MIELKE, from pg. 2B production costs showed higher October feed prices pushed total production costs to possibly the highest level on record, even surpassing totals seen during a previous high-cost period of 2008. Based on USDA estimates, total costs covering feed and other operating costs, as well as labor and overhead, will be up at least $2/cwt. from 2010. “So while 2011 milk prices will be up substantially from 2010, higher costs could eat up nearly twothirds of that additional income,” Natzke said. The USDA’s second report provides another measurement of dairy income. The monthly milk-feed price ratio, an index comparing the relationship between the average milk price and feed costs, shrunk in November. While November milk prices held steady at $19.90/cwt., higher corn prices offset small declines in prices for soybeans and alfalfa hay, tightening the milk-feed price ratio to the lowest level since May. “For dairy producers who buy feed, hay prices remain especially troublesome, more than $80 per ton higher than a year ago,” Natzke said. “Most market analysts suggest milk prices move in a threeyear cycle, and the last low point was 2009. And while 2011-12 milk prices should average well above the devastating lows of 2009, when combined with anticipated feed prices, the corresponding milk-feed price ratio could rival that seen in 2009.” ••• Lee Mielke is a syndicated columnist who resides in Everson, Wash.

Rep. Paul Anderson named dairy legislator of the year Minnesota State Rep. Paul Anderson, R-District 13A (Starbuck, Minn.), has been selected as the 2011 Legislator of the Year by the Minnesota Milk Producers Association for demonstrating support to dairy farmers, the dairy industry and rural Minnesota by his actions at the State Capitol. The award was announced during the Midwest Dairy Expo on Nov. 29 in St. Cloud, Minn. Anderson is the chief author of the bill to create Minnesota’s Dairy Research, Teaching and Consumer Education Authority. By doing this, he has helped create a stronger base of support for dairy development in Minnesota.

Anderson has also taken a leadership role in efforts to address the timing and the function of the state feedlot permitting process. He, along with others, has helped to provide the foundation for more clarity, consistency and timeliness for environmental compliance, permitting and review. “We appreciate both what Rep. Anderson does for dairy farmers and how he goes about his business. In an era when the rhetoric can get pretty heated, we are glad to have a steady hand like his working closely with us on issues affecting the Milk Producers,” said Pat Lunemann, president of the MMPA. ❖

Metrodome before the Vikings game versus the Denver Broncos. Fuel Up to Play 60 student leaders encourage their peers to make healthier food choices and commit to 60 minutes of activity each day as part of Fuel Up to Play 60, an in-school nutrition and physical activity program launched by the National Dairy Council and National Football League, in collaboration with U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The program, in which more than 70,000 schools nationwide and more than 1,250 schools across Minnesota are involved, encourages youth to consume nutrient-rich foods and achieve at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day. The on-field event included 14 students from Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota, including Fuel Up to Play 60 State Student Ambassadors. These students were selected to attend the game because they have shown leadership in their schools’ Fuel Up to Play 60 programs. The students met Viktor, the Vikings mascot; Princess Kay of the Milky Way, Mary Zahurones; Ken Herbranson, a Minnesota dairy farmer and chairman of the Midwest Dairy Association Minnesota Division Board; and Mike Kruger, CEO of the Midwest Dairy Association before the game. The 14 students also ran out of the tunnel in front of the Vikings ship 30

minutes before kickoff. During the game, there was a special announcement recognizing the students from Fuel Up to Play 60 and their enthusiasm for encouraging peers to make healthy, active decisions. “Understanding how to eat a balanced diet and be active for good health is a critical, life-long lesson to learn at a young age,” said Julie Mattson Ostrow, director of health and wellness, Midwest Dairy Council. “Fuel Up to Play 60 teaches students these values through a fun program that involves their friends, their schools and their families.” “We’re excited to team up with Midwest Dairy Council on the Fuel Up to Play 60 initiative,” said Steve LaCroix, Minnesota Vikings vice president of sales and marketing/chief marketing officer. “The program will have a lasting impact on Minnesota’s students, as participants apply the lessons they learn about nutrition and physical activity to their lives.” ❖

On-farm technology allows precision feeding of cows Successful dairy farming has always required a degree of precision. This starts with the watchful eyes of producers and managers who, through experience and dedication, know their cattle and their land. However, the quest for improvement has led to the need for greater feeding precision. Simply put, precision dairy nutrition is meeting the cow’s nutrient requirements to optimize her genetic potential and doing so in an economically viable and environmentally sustainable way. Precision nutrition likely means something different to each dairy producer, but generally includes a balance of minimizing feed costs to produce milk, feeding to optimize milk protein, and minimizing excess nitrogen and phosphorous use. New technology will likely be capable of achieving efficiency beyond the current design of dairy feeding systems. My University of Minnesota Extension research group conducted a controlled field study with 500 dairy cows last fall to evaluate the use of a precision feedMN TRUCK & TRACTOR ing system developed by Dinamica Mankato, MN • 507-388-4599 Generale, an Italian manufacturer of LODERMEIER’S CENTRAL MN EQUIP. precision equipment for many indusGoodhue, MN • 651-923-4441 Lake Henry, MN • 370-243-7411 tries.

and complicated, considering the Minnesota watershed covers 16,000 square miles. Decades of scientific research — bolstered by new techniques such as using radioactive isotopes to trace where dirt particles originated — offer a few major findings. • The amount of sediment getting into the river has increased dramatically — tenfold its natural rate by some estimates. • Two-thirds or more of the river’s sediment load comes from eroding streambanks and bluffs. • Compared to the past, there is much more water flowing into the river more quickly. Part of that comes from more frequent and heavy rains. But more and more, researchers are convinced the high, fast waters tearing into streambanks are largely the result of extensive farm drainage that has changed the hydrology of the landscape. • The more powerful flows are altering the river. The Minnesota River from Mankato to St. Paul has widened by 50 percent since 1938. The scene along Seven Mile Creek County Park is playing out all along the lower half of the Minnesota River.

farm fields across the Minnesota River watershed. The only significant regulations associated with tiling are those that prevent farmers from draining an existing wetland, which can be a yearround marsh or a so-called “seasonal wetland” that has historically filled with some water during wet periods. Farmers are not required to inform any agency if and when they tile, but they can be held accountable if it’s found they drained a wetland area. Farmers can and many do go to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Services office and file a form of their tiling plans. The NRCS then reviews the farmer’s land records to make sure they are not tiling in a designated wetland area. Ryan Braulick of the Mankato, Minn., NRCS office said they get 250 to 300 such requests each year with the number of requests up some this year. “Farmers aren’t required to (file the form), but many of them do because it’s in their best interest. If they tile where they shouldn’t, they could jeopardize their enrollment in the farm program.” Braulick said his office does not do any enforcement. “We’re not wetland cops. We don’t go out and look for those who are out of compliance.” He said the counties — under the state’s Wetland Protection Act — are responsible for any enforcement actions against improper tiling. But with so much of southern Minnesota so thoroughly tiled — much of it before wetland protection laws were

By TIM KROHN Mankato Free Press Farm drainage is a relatively straightforward process. Farmers bury a series of underground tile lines in their fields with the tile emptying into the open ditches that people are accustomed to seeing as they drive through the countryside. Those ditches carry the water to lakes, streams and rivers. The Minnesota River ends up with much of that water — the Minnesota River Basin drains 10 million acres of land, or about 20 percent of the state’s landscape. Tile drainage was introduced to the United States in 1838 by a Scottish immigrant who labored to lay 72 miles of clay tile on 320 acres of land on his New York farm. The results were phenomenal, jumping his wheat yield form 12 bushels per acre to 60 bushels. Farming moved slowly to the Midwest because of the lack of well-drained land, and Congress and the states in the 1850s stepped in to speed up tiling. They offered tax credits for buying tile and sold marshland at a steep discount on condition it be tiled and drained. At the same time states began organizing local elected drainage supervisory boards — which continue today as Soil and Water Conservation Districts in Minnesota. The pace of drainage accelerated at the end of the 1800s and into the early 1900s, including during the Great Depression when the Civilian Conservation Corps was deployed to expand the drainage system in the Midwest. Still, hand-laying heavy sections of clay or concrete tile in trenches — dug first by hand and later by backhoes and then by tiling machines — remained labor intensive and relatively expensive. The introduction of plastic tile pipes in the late-1970s changed all of that. Rather than having to lay individual sections of concrete tile end to end, installers only have to unroll a continuous section of lightweight flexible plastic tile. The plastic tile has small holes in it to bring the water inside the tile line. GPS systems guide the installers as they lay the tile. The process has become advanced and simple enough that farmers can purchase their own trencher and plastic tile, allowing them to install their own drainage systems. No one knows how many miles of the plastic and concrete tile exist under

nesota State University-Mankato, and is director of the multi-county Minnesota River Board, said he’s seen enough credible research to believe farm drainage is a major factor. “In my opinion, the drainage we’re doing is having an impact on the hydrology and we’re going to have to address it. Water storage (on the landscape) is going to be very important, and it’s hard to sell to people as we put more tile in the ground.” The latest study to peg farm drainage as the culprit was recently released by scientists at the St. Croix Watershed Research Station and the University of Minnesota. The research included examination of 70 years’ worth of records on rainfall, flow and land use changes along the 21 tributaries to the Minnesota River. Shawn Schottler, one of the scientists who worked on the research, said everyone agrees streambank and bluff erosion are putting a majority of sediment in the river. Their latest study looked at how much of that could be tied to increased precipitation. “Of course the (river) flow goes up when it rains more. Precipitation has gone up about 8 percent since 1940. Has flow gone up proportionally with that? No, it’s gone up more than that.” Schottler said climatology records show precipitation has not increased in May and June in southern Minnesota, months that river levels are often highest. Schottler said erosion of riverbanks and widening of the channel are natural occurrences on any river, but it’s been greatly accelerated on the Minnesota. While much of the sediment that erodes into rivers under normal conditions settles somewhere in the same river, sediment in the Minnesota is flowing out into

the Mississippi at a higher rate. “If you go to non-ag watersheds, there is still erosion but no increase in sediment leaving the river.” Solutions elusive Fisher worries that limited funding to help improve the river may be targeted to a tiny portion of the problem. There are two things involved in looking at suspended solids in the river: the physical sediment (dirt) and the biological. The biological side includes things such as algae blooms created by excess phosphorus in the river. Much of the focus has been on reducing phosphorus, which comes from fertilizers and city wastewater treatment plants. With treatment plants having been upgraded all along the river that source of phosphorus has been significantly reduced. Still, Fisher said, much of the funding is being aimed at further improving Twin Cities metro area wastewater treatment and storm water storage. “The MPCA studies are calling for 1 percent of the problem to be fixed in the metro area for $850 million. I struggle with spending that to fix 1 percent of the problem,” Fisher said. “I understand they want everyone to do their part. Politically, (farm) producers say urban areas need to do their part. I understand that.” Fisher said he’d rather see metro-area cities and the state put some funding into upgrading municipal systems, but put a majority of the money into projects that reduce sediment loading and erosion along the river valley. One way to do that is to create systems that store water so it can be released more slowly into the rivers. A project See RIVER, pg. 13B

Frederickson: Spend time on solutions, not finding fault “Certainly drainage off the landscape, from fields and other lands, is a contributor to some of that impairment,” Frederickson said. “Agriculture is a huge economic factor in the Minnesota River watershed and the state, so what we do needs to make economic sense for the farmers and make sense for the river.” Frederickson said everyone needs to focus on solutions that can make a difference rather than spending too much time arguing about fault. “It’s important not to square off in issue groups or stakeholder groups one against the other. Every segment in society contributes to the impairment of the river. We need to spend our time and money determining how to improve those impairments instead of arguing about where the faults are.” Frederickson said dealing with issues related to agriculture may be thorny but not impossible. “We’ve dealt with issues with herbicide

and pesticide and genetics over the years. Let’s use that same creativity to find how we can farm and raise the abundant crops we do without impairing the waters.” While agriculture is a powerful economic and lobbying force, pressure from urban policymakers and those around Lake Pepin are increasingly calling for more regulation of agriculture drainage. “The question from urban residents is, why do we need to control anything more than an inch of rain off our landscape when the rural areas don’t have to?” Fisher said. “We have an urbanized Legislature that is pushing this more and more. The discussion is will there ever be a requirement for more water storage on the landscape. It would be huge amounts of land taken out of production,” Fisher said.“It’s a fair question, but there are no easy answers.” ••• The Mankato Free Press is a sister publication to The Land under The Free Press Media.

Conservationists believe much of that land won’t be re-enrolled in the program because of high farmland and crop prices. Another partial solution, which does not take farmland out of production, is to shore up steep bluffs to slow erosion. On the Le Sueur River, crews are using a mixture of trees, sand and dirt to weave a protective barrier over the surface of steep bluffs and river banks. It’s similar to the traditional stone riprap but costs about three-fourths less. Fisher would like to see more focus on similar projects in the Le Sueur and Blue Earth river basins — both of which contribute mightily to the sediment in the river. “For less money we could target some higher-priority areas more intensely. We know, bluff by bluff, where the problems are. If we want to make an impact, why not take big chunks of money and hit those areas hard?” Dennis Frederickson, a former Republican state senator from New Ulm who is now the Department of Natural Resources director of southern Minnesota, is known for his support of the river and keen ability as a conservative senator to get environmental projects approved in the Legislature.

RIVER, from pg. 12B near Mapleton, Minn., for example, creates an overflow basin alongside drainage ditches. Other projects use farm tile drainage systems that, through a series of smaller tiles or mechanical gates, slow the rate of water draining from fields. The mechanical tile systems are, however, more expensive to install and maintain and don’t work well on sloped farm fields. The storage basins along ditches take cropland out of production. Anything taking land out of row-crop production runs up against skyrocketing farmland prices. In fact, the amount of land in grass and vegetation is likely to lessen in coming years as it is pulled out of the Conservation Reserve Program. The CRP pays landowners to keep environmentally sensitive land out of production for a set number of years. Statewide, about 128,000 acres of CRP contracts will soon expire, while only about 33,000 acres were enrolled during the recent spring sign-up period. In the next three years, more than 550,000 acres of the CRP land are scheduled to expire.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Growers Edge (www.growersedge.com) offers a free cash bid service for farmers to locate the best net cash grain prices within 100 miles of their farms. Based on a grower’s location, the Growers Edge program calculates the best net bid after trucking and storage costs are deducted. By comparing their local elevator price with all surrounding elevators, ethanol plants and grain terminals, users of this free service report making 20 to 40 cents more per bushel by shopping for the best market price. “Our farmer-users asked for a way to find the best net local bid for their crops,” said Craig Mouchka, president of Growers Edge. “Farmers normally check three or four of their closest markets and they can easily miss their best cash price. Our cash bid program helps farmers find the best cash bid. We are finding that 70 percent of the time for soybeans and 90 percent of the time for corn, that the net cash bid found by growers-edge.com is better to what is being offered by the closest market. Plus the results come right to the farmers computer screen without making any calls.” Gary Schmalshof of Macomb, Ill., said, “I discovered that we could haul corn 100 miles to Decatur and get an extra 70 cents a bushel — we made an additional 30 cents a bushel after
