New technologies always add energy to school systems MINDS, from pg. 2A Check the budget of your own school district. I think you will be amazed at the cost of special ed these days. However early childhood education apparently is money well spent. The community gets back $17 for every dollar put into the education of young children according to Sherry Ristau, president of SWIF. SWIF recently partnered with the BOLD (Bird Island, Olivia, Lake Lillian District) school district to become one of many coalitions in southwest Minnesota. The objective is to bring shareholders within the community together to rally behind a movement to improve the learning abilities of children zero to five. Now that indeed is young. However, according to Ellingsworth, 80 percent of a child’s brain development occurs during the first five years of life. He shared these additional early childhood facts: • 50 percent of Minnesota children are not fully
prepared for kindergarten. • 42 percent of child care programs ask families to withdraw their infants and toddlers because of social-emotional problems. • The opportunity to attend a quality pre-K class makes a child 40 percent less likely to need special education services, 40 percent less likely to repeat a grade and twice as likely to attend college. • Three-quarters of students who are poor readers in third grade will remain poor readers in high school. Education is always interesting. Even more so with new technologies energizing both students and teachers. Rumbles in education and rumbles in agriculture add zest to life for just about everyone. Oil boom But now let’s switch to an even bigger rumble — the Williston, N.D., oil boom. An early January meeting of the North Dakota Sheriffs & Deputies Association in Bismarck discussed impacts of the oil boom.

Here’s just a few summary points from that particular meeting of the minds of law enforcement people. • Currently there are 84 companies involved in the oil industry in western North Dakota. • It takes between 2,000 and 2,200 semi loads of water per well. Currently there are 258 wells in progress with so many schedules it is hard to determine the exact amount. • At a traffic intersection on Highway 85 south of Williston, in one 24-hour period there were 29,000 vehicles through the intersection with 60 percent being semis. • The North Dakota Highway Department closed the Williston area weigh scale house because it was causing such a traffic jam that it was closing the roadway. • Rent in Williston currently is $2,000 for a onebedroom apartment to $3,400 for a three-bedroom. • Williams County allows three campers per farmstead. Almost all farmers have three campers on their property and are charging $800 per camper per month for rent. • Walmart in Williston no longer stocks shelves.

THE LAND, FEBRUARY 3, 2012
GUEBERT, from pg. 5A What happened is a lesson in today’s foolish, wasteful politics.
OPINION
Nebraskans of every political stripe and occupation worked with Republican Gov. Dave Heineman to hold a special session of the state’s nonpartisan, unicameral legislature to address what all felt were serious flaws in the pipeline’s route and design. In mid-November, two bills — one that gives the state’s Public Service Commission authority over where to site future oil pipelines and another that moved the XL pipeline out of the Sandhills — passed the legislature by vote of 46-0. “Heineman,” reported the Nov. 22 Lincoln Journal Star, “immediately signed the measures into law.”

Commentary: Minnesota farmers at head of the class gives farmers long-term conservation clarity while also accelerating the state’s progress on clean water goals. Minnesota will be the first state to accomplish this “win-win” scenario through a program called the Minnesota Ag Water Quality Certification Program. Our goal is to accelerate voluntary adoption of onfarm water-quality practices while at the same time giving farmers more certainty about future requirements for additional conservation measures. Details still need to be worked out, but the program likely will include the following provisions. • Farmers and ranchers who commit to implement and maintain an approved conservation plan will receive assurance and recognition that their operation meets water quality goals and standards; • Conservation plans will be tailored to fit the

unique circumstances of different farms, watersheds and production systems; and • So long as participating farmers meet their obligations under the program, they will not be required to implement additional water-quality practices for the duration of their agreements. We expect this program to have a positive and long-lasting impact on the quality of Minnesota’s lakes, rivers and streams. We all know clean water is important, and that there are contributions we all can make to improve water quality. I am excited at this opportunity to work with farmers and other partners to accelerate our progress.

Minnesota is a headwaters state for three major watersheds — the Mississippi River, the Red River and Great Lakes. That means a rain drop that falls on a Minnesota farm field can end up in the Gulf of Mexico, Hudson Bay or the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It also means that decisions made in management of Minnesota land — whether urban, suburban or rural — can make a difference thousands of miles away. Minnesota farmers are aware of this connection, and they work hard to practice sound resource management. As the understanding of cropping systems and their impacts has evolved over the decades, more and more farmers have embraced conservation practices like grass buffer strips, precision nutrient application and minimal tillage. At the same time, farm families are doing their best in a challenging global economy. They face intense pressure, even in times of strong commodity prices, to keep a lid on expenses and operating costs. That pressure has driven many farmers to express concern about the impact of an evolving and uncertain regulatory landscape on their business plans and prospects. Farm families are accustomed to dealing with tumultuous markets and weather, but the uncertainty about what they will be asked or required to do with regard to water quality is a wild card. The concern is that farmers will be asked to bear the cost of implementing one set of practices only to find a few months or years later that they face new expenses related to different requirements. That’s why Gov. Dayton and I recently joined U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson and commissioners from several state agencies in an agreement to go in a new direction — one that

Chapman explains that people speak different love languages. As with linguistics, which identifies a number of major language groups like Chinese, English, Japanese, German and so on, we each have a primary love language that we learn as we grow up within our families. Those five love languages include:

What love language we learn as our “native tongue” may be completely different from what our spouse learned. Maybe a husband equates love with gifts and makes frequent trips to the florist, but his wife equates love with acts of service and would much rather have him hang up his clothes than bring home one more flower. Or maybe a wife equates love with physical touch — holding hands in public, a back rub, a hug, but what her husband really wants is to hear that she’s proud of him.

Even with the Game and Fish fund still in the black, That’s a problem because the lion’s share of money the DNR hardly is awash in cash. In recent years, for Minnesota Department of Natural Resources reductions in legislative funding have whittled away at their budget, leaving positions unfilled and cuts in other activities including fish stocking programs. This isn’t a new issue. The dwindling Game and Fish Fund was a key point of discussion a year ago at the 2011 DNR Roundtables. The hope then was that the 2011 Legislature would act on a proposal to increase license fees. But with bigger budgetary fish to fry — a looming $6 billion deficit in particular — the issue wasn’t addressed.
It also could be argued that some legislators painted themselves into an ideological corner by signing on to Pawlenty’s pledge of no new taxes. But the latter is a curious thing, really. While legislators and the previous governor claimed to hold the line on taxes, the cost of myriad “user fees” inflicted on Minnesotans hardly remained stagnant. Ultimately, that’s what our hunting and fishing licenses are — user fees. It would be understandable if some legislators were reluctant to consider an increase if users were complaining about a potential increase in their fees. But in the case of bumping up the cost of a hunting or fishing license, most of us are not. The consensus of sportsmen’s groups and conservation organizations, the hunting and fishing fraternity in general, is that the modest increases are reasonable and necessary. The proposed increases are less than Draconian. A resident individual fishing license would increase from the current $17 to $24, a resident husband-wife license from $24 to $40, a resident deer license from $26 to $30, as examples. Legislators once again have plenty of weighty issues to consider in the 2012 session that opened Jan. 24. High among them undoubtedly will be how to finance a new playground for the Minnesota Vikings. But close behind ought to be increasing license fees that maintain our state’s most popular playground — the great outdoors. John Cross is a Mankato (Minn.) Free Press staff writer.

Imagine feeling ill and not being able to properly express it. The language barrier causes many pets to feel this way toward their owners. It is important to know the signs indicative of pain in your pet so that you can help them with their treatment, even if they can’t help identify their pain. According to Mark Stickney, clinical associate professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, knowing if pets are in pain can be tricky. “All pets show pain differently,” Stickney said. “Cats are prone to hide when they are uncomfortable while dogs tend to show pain more outwardly than their feline friends.” There is a lot of variation when it comes to pets and showing pain, and the signs of pain are not always obvious. “Some common signs of pain are less energetic greetings and refusing to eat or drink,” Stickney said. “Some animals may pace or pant if they are in pain or they may growl or snap if the sore spot is touched.” Your pets may show you all of these signs while some may show you almost none, Stickney said. “Cats are the classic example. They can be in large amounts of discomfort and still hide their pain.” “What it boils down to is owners know their pets best,” Stickney said. “If you think your animal is uncomfortable and not behaving normally, you should call your veterinarian for an evaluation.” Stickney said that the causes of pain can come from various sources. “We see several types of injuries like those caused by cars or other animals,” Stickney said. “Pain can also occur as pets get older from diseases such as arthritis.” The most common treatment for pain in dogs is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, Stickney said. “These products will reduce inflammation and make the animals feel better. They usually come in flavored preparations disguised as treats.” If you suspect your pet is in pain and a veterinarian cannot be reached, human pain medication should never be an option. “Animals metabolize drugs differently than we do,” Stickney said. “Human medication will usually cause more harm than good and could damage organs like the kidneys or liver.” But there are things you can do at home to make your pet feel more comfortable. “Try to make arrangements so your pet does not have to move as much,” Stickney said. “Keep him or her confined in a small room or crate.” Stickney also suggested moving food and water bowls closer to the animal. It is up to you, as the owner, to recognize behavioral changes that might indicate pain.

Recreating an amazing meal easy with Fannie’s help By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent What do you need to re-create a 12-course meal from our colonial past? An enormous, blazinghot woodstove, a trove of “lost” kitchen skills, months of research and recipe testing, and a good sense of humor are all essential ingredients in “Fannie’s Last Supper” (Hyperion), a foodlover’s journey through time to create a gourmet meal from 1896. Fannie Farmer was a real woman who wrote a hugely popular cookbook and ran a famous cooking school for women in Boston. Some of her recipes were bizarre by today’s standards: calf ’s heads and feet and various other body parts that are no longer considered delicacies. Other recipes have stood the test of time and could easily find a place at today’s table. The Victorian era is recalled in all its
as much as a historical “scavenger hunt” as a cookbook, with Kimball scurrying around setting up the ambitious meal he intends to serve his celebrity guest list. He enlists, trains and learns from a battery of assistants and guides, making this not just one fabulous meal, but a captivating story as well. Here are some recipes that today’s cooks can still prepare with today’s ingredients — and skills. No need to stoke a wood fire or skin a carcass to enjoy these dishes. ■ Beauty, flavor and superior nutrition: Beets have it all. They serve as brilliant, mouth-watering ornaments to whatever’s on your plate. Fannie’s Glazed Beets are slow-roasted to bring out their sweet nature, then cut, sea-

Bring to a lively simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Cover and simmer for an additional 3 minutes to allow ginger to flavor the sugar syrup. Meanwhile, wash the apples, cut them into quarters, and remove the seeds and cores. When the sugar syrup is ready, add the apple quarters, cover and cook until tender, about 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove apple pieces and place in a food mill set over a medium-sized bowl. Remove and discard ginger and lemon pieces. Pass apples through food mill until only skins remain. Add cooking liquid to applesauce in small increments until desired consistency is achieved. ■ Victorian Sponge Cake is a basic lemony cake with enough “heft” to be cut up and re-formed into many different finished desserts. It’s also delicious on its own with fruit or a powdered-sugar icing. We served it simply with frozen strawberries and whipped cream, and it was a lovely finish to our “gourmet” meal of hamburgers and waffle fries. Four out of four “yums” from the always hungry Johnson family! Victorian Sponge Cake 4 eggs, separated 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar 8 ounces sugar 4 ounces cake flour 2 teaspoons lemon rind 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1/8 teaspoon salt Beat egg whites with cream of tartar and 2 tablespoons of the sugar (reserve the rest) until it holds 2inch peaks. Whites should still be moist and slightly soft. Remove to a separate bowl. Using the same mixing bowl as for the whites, beat the yolks with the remaining sugar until light and ribbony, 4-5 minutes in an electric mixer. Add flour and mix on low speed for 10 seconds. Remove bowl from mixer; add egg whites, lemon rind, lemon juice and salt; and fold together by hand with a large rubber spatula. Bake in a 375 F oven for about 30 minutes. ■ A tradition in Lutheran church kitchens in Scandinavian-American communities, egg coffee is a light, clear brew with no bitterness or acidity. Fannie Farmer knew this secret as well and shared it with her many readers and students. The addition of cold water at the end helps to settle the coffee grounds. Fannie Farmer’s Boiled Coffee 1 egg 1 cup cold water, divided 1 cup coffee 6 cups boiling water Whisk egg with 1/2 cup cold water. Add crushed egg shell and stir in the coffee. Transfer mixture to a pot, add the boiling water and stir thoroughly. Boil for 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup cold water to the pot “to clarify the coffee.” Place pot back on stove on the lowest possible heat level for 10 minutes. Serve at once.

Add brown sugar and cook, stirring frequently, until sugar dissolves and coats the beets, about 30 seconds. Add vinegar and cook to a syrupy glaze, so that beets are coated, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat; add parsley and toss to coat. Serve immediately. ■ Fannie’s secret to the perfect roasted chicken was first to coat it in flour, then refrigerate it overnight. Frequent basting helps brown the skin as well. Save the drippings for your homemade gravy, or add them to store-bought gravy for that homemade flavor. Serve with a salad or slaw and some good bread. Roast Chicken with Crispy Flour Coating 1 whole chicken, 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 pounds, giblets removed and discarded 1 tablespoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/4 cup flour 2 tablespoons butter 1/3 cup water Pat chicken dry with paper towels and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Rub with hands to coat entire surface evenly. Coat chicken evenly with flour and pat to knock off excess. Set chicken, breast side up, in a V rack set on a rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate, uncovered, for 12 to 24 hours. In a small saucepan (or in microwave), heat butter and water until butter melts. Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 425 F. Flip chicken so breast side faces down. Roast chicken for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 F; continue roasting for 20 minutes. Baste with butter mixture; flip chicken breast side up; and baste again. Continue roasting until skin is golden brown and crisp, and thermometer registers 160 F when inserted in thickest part of the breast, and 175 degrees in the thickest part of the thigh, about 40-50 minutes. Transfer chicken to cutting board and let rest, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Carve and serve immediately. ■ I may not be roasting a goose in the near future, but the applesauce recipe caught my eye because it’s done in a few minutes. Using real lemon rind, fresh ginger and a variety of apples really brings this humble side dish to the “max” and you can whip it up fresh anytime at all. Applesauce to Accompany Roasted Goose 1 cup granulated sugar 1 piece lemon rind, 1/2 inch by 2 inches 2 slices ginger, each about the size of a nickel and 1/8 inch thick 1 pound Macintosh apples 1/2 pound Rhode Island Greening apples (or other crisp, tart apple) 1/2 pound Northern Spy apples (or other crispy, tart apple) Place the sugar, lemon rind, ginger and 2 1/2 cups water in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.

Washington saw a healthy 4.7 percent gain in milk production on 11,000 more cows and 5 pounds more per cow. ■ Meanwhile, the cash dairy markets had little reaction. Block cheese closed the last Friday of January on an up note at $1.51 per pound, up a half cent on the week, but 22.5 cents below that week a year ago when they jumped 21 cents to $1.7350. The barrels closed Friday at $1.4950, down three quarters on the week and 21 cents below a year ago when they gained 19.5 and were trading at $1.7050. Eight cars of block and 25 of barrel (with 20 coming on Friday morning) found new homes on the week.
The National Agricultural Statistics Service-surveyed U.S. average block price hit $1.5899, up 1.8 cents, while the barrels averaged $1.6053, down 0.3 cent. Butter saw more weakness, closing Friday at $1.55, down 2 cents on the week and 55 cents below a year ago. Only one car was sold all week. NASS butter averaged $1.5923, up a penny. NASS powder averaged $1.3654, down a nickel, and dry whey averaged 71.13 cents, up yet another 0.9 cent. ■ FC Stone’s Jan. 27 Insider Opening Bell reports that signs of erosion are starting to surface in the whey market, according to the USDA. Dairy economist Bill Brooks warned that “if the whey market sees a sharp price decline, it could knock Class III prices down unless an offsetting increase in cheese prices occurs, which is unlikely.” Dec. 31 butter stocks stood at 105.2 million pounds, according to the USDA’s Jan. 20 Cold Storage report, up 12 percent from November and 29 percent above December 2010. Market analysts viewed the overall data as bearish for both butter and cheese. See MIELKE, pg. 15A

Cheese production steady, inventories expanding Line. He said stocks are up abnormally on a weekly basis and up 7.5 percent from a year ago, but down on the month. The weekly buildup however leads him to believe that stocks will be up on the month as well. The big question, he asks: is the buildup due to supply as milk output climbs or have exports taken a hit due to the rallying U.S. dollar to a recent 15-month high? ■ Cheese production remains steady for this time of year and inventories are expanding for most varieties, according to the USDA. Orders for aged sharp Cheddar remain good ahead of the Super Bowl. Demand for mozzarella has improved as colleges and universities start spring semesters.

“Most people who follow this market know the answer,” wrote the MPC. “It is because of how the CME Spot Price market works. Cheese and butter price movements over short-term periods seem to defy logic, common sense and basic economic theory, unlike any of the other sound markets for very important national and international commodities. It is a ‘thin’ market, dominated by a relatively few traders, used in one way or another by all cheese plants and their customers according to their own respective interests which may be overly influenced by the lucrative cheese byproduct industry. “Call it what you may: whimsical, erratic, thin, unpredictable, useful,” the MPC said. “It, along with the related markets for futures contracts, puts and calls, and what seems to be CME’s relatively stand-offish approach to oversight of those instruments perhaps should be given another long look by the Government Accountability Office.” See MIELKE, pg. 16A

and this seems like a distinct possibility. While buyers are waiting, cows are enjoying a mild winter; there is plenty of milk, cheese and butter available.” He adds that “there is, however, some inventory building under way and the pace will pick up as prices continue to move further south. Current prices are also fairly attractive internationally. The only unanswered question: When will inventory building and commercial orders pick up enough to put a floor under the price?” But California’s Milk Producer’s Council is not happy. Its Jan. 20 newsletter quoted Dairy Market News reporters, saying “U.S. cheese production and sales are fairly closely balanced and current prices, which are now well below those in other major exporting countries, are attracting continuing interest from exporters.” The USDA says commercial disappearance of all cheese is greater than production this year so the MPC asks “Why have prices moved lower at the CME?”

MIELKE, from pg. 14A Brooks said in the Jan. 23 Insider Opening Bell that “December can be a swing month on butter stocks.” He said that stocks were down in six of the last 10 Decembers when compared with November levels, but butter stocks built more than expected and are stronger than a year ago on a percentage basis. “They are not burdensome,” he said. “With more product coming out of the Southern Hemisphere, U.S. exports of butterfat have slowed and more butter has moved into storage.” American cheese stocks totaled 600.7 million pounds, up 3 percent from November but 5 percent below a year ago. The total cheese inventory, at 981.3 million, was up just 1 percent from November and 6 percent below a year ago.

Milk production per cow up 186 pounds from ’10 MIELKE, from pg. 15A The Cold Storage data at the end of December “supports the belief that current cheese prices are not too high,” the MPC said. ■ The Cooperatives Working Together program accepted 18 export assistance bids to sell just over 4 million pounds of cheese to customers in Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and Central America for delivery through June. This year’s cheese exports now total 10.4 million pounds. Meanwhile, the Jan. 25 CME Daily Dairy Report said China imported 85,400 tons of whole milk powder, skim milk powder and whey in December, up 20.6 percent from the prior year, according to the Global Trade Atlas. WMP purchases were down 42 percent from December 2010, but SMP and whey imports were each up nearly 80 percent. China imported 805,700 tons of milk powder and whey in 2011, up 16.9 percent from 2010. Record purchases of SMP and whey offset a slight decline in WMP, according to the DDR. Almost half of China’s imports came from New Zealand and about 22 percent came from the United States. South Korean imports of milk powder, cheese, butterfat and whey reached 152,140 tons in 2011, up 35 percent from the year before. The United States was the leading supplier, shipping almost one-third of that total, according to the DDR. ■ Most Americans are collecting information to fill out federal and state tax forms and they’ll be comparing their 2011 income to the year before. Dairy Profit Weekly’s Dave Natzke discussed how much income the nation’s 9 million dairy cows made last year in Friday’s DairyLine. “Every year about this time I calculate what the average dairy cow earned the year before, based on the simple average annual milk price and milk production per cow. Based on gross income, at least, our dairy cows had more earning power in 2011.” According to preliminary estimates from the USDA, annual gross income per cow improved for a second straight year, Natzke said. Milk production per cow was up about 186 pounds from the year before, to about 21,335 pounds. More importantly, the 2011 U.S. milk price was up about $3.88 per hundred pounds from the year before, averaging $20.14/cwt. Multiplying the increased milk production and price, each cow brought home nearly $4,300 in milk sales in 2011, up $859 per cow from the year before. Even more startling, gross income per cow was up more than $1,650 from 2009, the year of devastatingly low milk prices, Natzke said. “The 2011 estimate gross income per cow is the highest on record, and when you add the increase for all 9 million cows, U.S. dairy farmers saw their gross income increase by about $7.7 billion from 2010,” Natzke said. “Of course, that’s gross income, and the nation’s dairy cows will be declaring a few deductions,” Natzke said.

Beware of tax refund anticipation loans and checks taxpayer’s expected tax return, may be a thing of the past after this year. The last bank still funding RALs has agreed to stop after this tax season, under a settlement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Consider this before taking out a refund anticipation loan.
<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>
An RAL can cost between $30 and well over $100, which translates to high interest rates. In addition, tax preparers charge their own fees on top of those that the bank already charges, which can range from $25 to several hundred dollars. In short, RALs charge taxpayers heavily for what ends up being nothing more than a pay advance of a few days. An RAL does not always provide faster access to tax return money than the Internal Revenue Service. For instance, it often takes two days or longer for an RAL recipient to receive a refund. Taxpayers with bank accounts generally obtain their refunds in just eight to 15 days through e-filing and direct deposit. Even without a bank account, taxpayers can receive a fast refund by e-filing and having their refund deposited to a prepaid card. Neither of these alternatives carries the costs and fees that an RAL does. There is another tax refund financial product called the refund anticipation check that, again, threatens to capture some of your refund. An RAC is a temporary bank account into which the IRS directly deposits the tax refund. Once the IRS deposits the tax refund, the tax preparer draws a check for the consumer and then closes the account. Tax preparers charge fees for this service, although the cost is generally less than RAL fees. Consumers may also have to pay additional fees to cash the check. You can avoid these fees by opening a checking account and having the IRS direct-deposit your tax refund. The U.S. Department of the Treasury encourages current and potential payroll card users to direct deposit their federal tax refund onto existing payroll cards. Some workers use payroll cards to receive and access their wages, often because they do not have bank accounts. The tax refund direct deposit onto a payroll card is safe and convenient. You can seek free income tax preparation assistance through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program. VITA is designed to assist low and moderate income individuals and families along with the elderly and handicapped.

St. Joe, Mo., Beef Leaders Institute deadline is March 1 American Angus Association members interested in becoming more effective leaders in the agriculture industry are encouraged to apply for the fifth annual Beef Leaders Institute. Held June 17-20, the program brings Angus producers together in St. Joseph, Mo., for a series of informative sessions. “BLI is an excellent opportunity to develop leaders and advocates for the beef industry, while exposing young producers to all segments of the business, including the association,” said Shelia Stannard, director of activities and events. “It is also a chance to net-
work with fellow breeders from across the country.” Funded through the Angus Foundation, BLI is designed for Association members 25 to 45 years old to provide insight into the beef industry, while enhancing their knowledge of the association and strengthening leadership skills. Cory Poser, a 2011 participant from Denton, Mont., said the experience he gained by attending BLI will allow his family to continue their farming tradition. “BLI was a great way for me to expand my knowledge of the beef
industry and help the farm and my family advance our operation into the future,” Poser said. During the three-day event, BLI participants are able to tour a beef harvesting and packing facility, retailer, fabricator, feedlots and other industry segments, including the association. The association provides transportation, lodging, meals and materials during BLI. Attendees will be responsible for round-trip transporta-
tion between their home and either Kansas City or St. Joseph, Mo. To apply, log on to www.angus.org or contact the American Angus Associaiton at (816) 383-5100. Applications for the 2012 program are due March 1. The American Angus Association is the nation’s largest beef organization, serving more than 30,000 members across the United States and Canada. ❖

Cover story: Whole Grain Milling goes back in time, today

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent Jeff Hilgendorf ’s duties can change depending on the day of the week. One day he’s working in the mill, bagging rolled oats. Another day he might be grinding and bagging flour from wheat, rye, buckwheat, spelt or millet, or grinding hi-lysine cornmeal. Whole Grain Milling Co. has a lengthy product list, all made from

“but we didn’t know how. Ralph lost his sight when he was a youth, and worked for the Department of the Blind in the Twin Cities. He was familiar with all of the co-op stores in the cities. We felt that if we could make products they would sell, we would be able to find a market.” Ralph came on as a partner to get Whole Grain Milling started, and later sold his share to Doug and Lin. Their primary clients are co-ops and restaurants in the Twin Cities, but they also sell to stores in Rochester, River Falls, Wis., Menominee, Wis., Sioux Falls, S.D., and other places. A supermarket in Fairmont, Minn., carries some of their products. Even a bakery in St. Louis. “The bakery has changed hands but they still order from us,” Lin said. The family delivers direct rather than going through a distributor. It enables them to deliver a fresher product. They don’t process until they have an order. “A lot of our product is made the week we deliver,” Doug said. Whole Grain Milling produces what See GRAIN, pg. 21A

After some discussion, he and Lin settled on “challenging.” With the much-debated concerns about chemicals and genetically modified organisms, about safety and nutrition, the Hilgendorfs are willing to put in the extra labor and take the risks to raise highly nutritional food. Their on-farm milling company helps make it possible. And their loyal customers who start calling when a popular product like their tortilla chips are not on the store shelf adds to the worthwhile nature of their venture. “No way would we ever go back to conventional farming,” Doug said.

Growers singing the blues — blue corn, that is By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer If you’re into organic farming and want to add a different look to some of your 2012 yellow corn production, grow some blue corn. Seed price is $140 a bag, its only “trait” is a flex-ear growth habit and the outfit dealing in blue corn is Richland IFC Inc. in Breckenridge, Minn. The Land visited with Matt Bohn, Richland crop production manager, at the recent Organic Food Conference in St. Cloud, Minn., where his exhibit was touting innovative food crops. They’re 12 years into working with area organic farmers on the production of blue corn and other specialty crops. “As our seed improves, we usually don’t have issues getting production contracts with growers,” Bohn said. Their contracts spell out acres and prices. “Our prices are evaluated annually based on end manufacture needs and overall organic farm price matrix. Our prices may fluctuate each year depending on above factors.” Bohn said there is not a minimum acreage requirement to get into business with Richland IFC. Their biggest contract grower to date of blue corn is about 1,000 acres. His firm provides

the seed, a proprietary product available only through Richland. Planting rates of blue corn are much like conventional corn. In essence, plant populations depend on soil fertility, moisture and drainage conditions and management ability of each grower. “We have growers at 34,000 ppa; we have growers at 22,000 ppa. So that’s the call of each farmer,” he said. Their highest reported yield on blue corn was 165 bu./acre by an area organic farmer. Mark Lampert, a Stevens County (Minn.) organic farmer in the Chokio area, got into blue corn in 2002 because, “it just sort of fell in my lap. I also farm conventionally (about halfand-half currently) but ‘parallel production’ is frowned on within the certification language of organic farming. This means I can’t be growing both yellow corn on my conventional side and yellow corn on my organic side. “Blue corn, however, works in this schematic. I knew very little about the crop. But the plant is only about 60 miles north of my farm so I tried it. I’ve been with them ever since.” See BLUE, pg. 23A

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent Research isn’t easy. It took Thomas Edison a thousand tries before he found the right material for the incandescent light bulb. Mike Jorgensen and Kathy Draeger are hoping to get it right quicker than that. They are part of research to organically grow edible beans, in particular black turtle beans, on their farm in Big Stone County, Minn. The first year they planted a couple acres on their own and found that black turtle beans were no competition for weeds. Then they joined a University of Minnesota research project, but the weather has inhibited progress. “I worked on edible beans for my masters degree work,” Draeger said. “Some days the practical is a whole

(About half is currently farmed by a friend on a cash rent basis. Jorgensen said that’s the mortgage payment for the foreseeable future.) They expect the cornerstone of their farm to be the specialty market of grass-fed beef. They are in the process of growing a grass-fed beef enterprise using intensive rotational grazing. The nine head of purebred Dexter cattle they currently have will eventually reach a herd of around 75. They also are part of the local foods market, with eggs and broilers from their free-range flock of Rock Cornish cross chickens and produce from their large garden. Their latest innovation is the construction of a wind tunnel to extend the growing season. The couple does not just try whatever pops into their minds. They research and discuss (and sometimes debate) what they will do. They need to make a profit, but for them farming is about more than making money. “Conservation is a part of everything we’re trying to do here,” Jorgensen said. “That bare spot south of the driveway has been drowned out since I married Mike 17 years ago,” Draeger said. “Starting this fall we’re going to be converting that into a wetland.” Part of the reason for taking 30 acres out of production and putting it into See BIG STONE, pg. 25A

“We’re looking for an operation that will allow us to add value to a product on-farm,” Jorgensen said. “There has to be some value-added or it’s going to be tough to make a go on 320 acres.”
“I got my degree in 1992,” he said, “and we weren’t talking about organic or sustainable farming at that time. Academically it gives me the fundamentals in soil science and conventional weed control, but now I come here and I have to rethink everything.”
“We’ll have a little containment so water doesn’t pass through here at lightning speed and move on down to the next guy,” Jorgensen said. “And part of the rationale is the migratory pattern for waterfowl. We’re in about a six-square mile region that is critical habitat.”
Farm Beginnings was only the start of that thinking. They continue to do a lot of thinking and discussing and innovating. While others are specializing and expanding, Jorgensen and Draeger want to diversify and thrive on their 320 acres. They want to do it while being a part of local food production, instilling a work ethic in their children, and practicing good conservation working with the land they have. “Mike and I agreed that one way we will know we’ve met some of our goals on this farm is if we have meadowlarks return to the farm,” Draeger said. What will they try next? “No more innovation for now,” they said. “We have to work on our current enterprises.” But you can be assured that is not the end of what they will try. “We’re committed to on-the-farm research,” Jorgensen said. Follow Jorgensen and Draeger’s triumphs and trials of the farm at Draeger’s blog at http://bitly.com/bigstonecounty. ❖
He has noticed a big change in the soil conditions from 20 years ago, and thinks anhydrous ammonia may be a part of that. “You go out and look for an earthworm and you’ve really got to look,” Jorgensen said. “A square foot of a healthy farm should have 25 earthworms or something like that. You can’t find any. That’s unsettling. (Earthworms) are an indicator of biological health.”

Organic conference opens the world up to producers By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer A significant attention-getter at the 2012 Minnesota Organic Conference in St. Cloud was the “The Future and Sustainability of CSAS” breakout session. CSAS refers to Community Supported Agriculture Systems. CSA producers aren’t necessarily certified organic farmers. However they do steer clear of genetically modified seed stocks in their production of vegetables, fruits and berries, even certain grains that can be conveniently marketed as “locally grown foods,” a rapidly growing niche market across America. Susan Koppendrayer, a full-time teacher who, with her husband, Arlan, also operates The Long Siding Farm near Princeton, Minn., is a fiveacre, five-year certified organic producer. “We mostly concentrate on vegetables in our CSA marketing but are

“She has a reputation for exciting wisdom about bugs in the soil, especially the beneficial bugs like certain bacteria, fungi, etc., and how they break down the soil. I want to learn about how to make my soil healthier. Get that achieved and your richer soils will simply give you greater production. “Eliminate some of these pesticides, especially Roundup which we’re learning is very harmful to your soils, and the net result should be healthier soils and perhaps healthier foods from these soils. That extends, I’m told, even into the meats, eggs and milk produced from livestock raised on organic
feeds. It seems our universities are reluctant to talk about these negative implications of certain pesticides,” Deschene said. Even in his far north country of the Red River Valley, Deschene said Roundup resistance is being noted in certain weeds. “With Roundup now labeled for sugar beets it often means the typical farmer in my country is using the product on both his beets and his soybeans. That’s two of three years whereas before it was maybe one year out of five where the fields were being sprayed.” Admitting his “newness” on the Soybean Research & Promotion Council, he’s tuned into the importance of research to continue the market growth of soybeans. “Yes, I knew that we mostly talk about the protein hunger around the world but I think we should be talking more about specific essential amino acids. Your body can’t produce amino acids so more research on improving the availability of the 10 essential amino acids I think will be important

ORGANIC, from pg. 26A Canadian border, 10 miles from North Dakota, was attending his first organic conference. He’s also a newly appointed member of the Minnesota Soybean Research & Promotion Council. Like much of Minnesota, weather at the tail end of the season turned dry after an extremely wet spring and early summer. Deschene used to grow about 90 acres of organic crop — soybeans and corn — but is down to only about 15 acres which is mostly hay but also includes about 3 1/2 acres of vegetables. He admits he probably could get a better price for his certified organic hay crop but always sells at conventional prices partly because he also feeds to his own horses. His primary reason for attending the conference was to hear the Elaine Ingham’s “Life in the Soil” presentation. Ingham provided an introduction to the fascinating world of soil microbiology and how it affects soil and plant health.

Meg Moynihan, MDA organic foods “guru,” said, “the Department of Agriculture agreed to take over the coordination of this event in 2003. Previously the show was done by private individuals doing a combined organic and grazing confer-
ence. But as organics gained in favor, this dual function was confusing to potential attendees.
Triple Bottom Line (People, Planet, Profit) and how organic farming fits — or doesn’t fit — in.
“The St. Cloud location is favored simply because it eliminates the traffic and lodging issues of the ‘big city.’ We had over 500 people registered this year, that’s the biggest ever. Our trade show was completely sold out in our new space. And we’re still finding new and interesting speakers.
Does organic always mean better for the environment? Is organic becoming a parallel production system to conventional agriculture using organic inputs? What about ethics and the profit motive? Do organic farmers have a responsibility to be watchdogs of the system?
“You’d think after 10 years we’d be doing reruns on topics and speakers.” Not so. Topics ranged from “Organic Under Glass” to “The Right Side of the Law.” One of the keynote speakers was Wisconsin dairy farmer and author Jim Goodman. He discussed the current theory of the
What’s of interest? Moynihan said that at the 2012 event new technologies extending the growing season (hoop houses, unheated green houses) were highinterest. Also the consumer market for fresh Minnesota-grown fruit is very hungry. Combine local and organic and you have significant consumer interest. Also vegetable farming seemed high-interest this year.
the farm anytime. CSA producers are very transparent so an extra layer of inspection and certification really isn’t relevant to these customers. “That’s not necessarily so when someone goes to the grocery store and the label reads ‘organic production.’ Today often this housewife asks the question ‘Can I really believe the label?’ That’s not an issue for CSA producers.” According to 2008 U.S. Department of Agriculture data (latest available on organic farming) there were 14,540 organic farms across America with 2.229 million acres of harvested organic production. Leading the list was California with 2,714 farms and 470,903 acres of harvested organic production. Minnesota in 2008 had 550 registered organic farms and 92,702 acres of harvested production.

“For beginning farmers who don’t have much land, veggies are a way to get their foot in the market,” she said.
GREAT PRICING, LOW FINANCE RATES!
For certain, the growth of CSAs is a real thing in Minnesota, though numbers are an unknown quantity. Some perhaps are 100-percent organic certified; many aren’t and that doesn’t seem to be important to their customers.

Organic feed markets keep expanding for SunOpta By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer SunOpta, headquartered in the small town of Hope, Minn., just south of Owatonna, specializes in various organic crops processed and sold for both livestock feed and human consumption. SunOpta feed sales manager Chuck Walker was asked if SunOpta is keeping up with market demand. “No,” he said, “we’re actually short several products. We’re OK on corn for the moment but we’re very short on barley and soybeans.” He said this was a combination of both an expanding market for their products and weather challenges that reduced production in 2011. “The market, especially in poultry, both broilers and eggs, keeps expanding. Chicken diets are typical 60 percent corn and 40 percent soybean meal. We’re currently feeding about 7.6 million chickens in the United States. Feed consumption is about 1/4pound per day so that’s a tremendous amount of feed just for this single industry. Our organic feed sales to dairy farmers is doing quite well because milk prices are now quite well.” Why organic feeds for the poultry industry? “It seems public perception is that organic broilers taste better. Much the same perception exists in the egg market. Plus, I think this is somewhat a reaction to the negative publicity of chickens raised in cages,” Walker said.
Walker said SunOpta buys from virtually the entire corn and soybean production areas ranging from Ontario, Canada, and Michigan westward to Nebraska. They buy both food-grade corn processed at their dry corn milling plant and organic field grown corn for animal feed. SunOpta also does nonGMO corn for the specialty corn market for corn starch products and other applications. SunOpta’s organic prices are significantly stronger than conventional market prices. Then why aren’t more farmers wanting to cash in on these special products? Walker said that some of the resistance is because producers are hesitant to get involved in the three-year certification process. Also growing organics is more management intensive. “But the guys who’ve really got their nose in the dirt, growing organics is right down their alley,” he said. Also, because of stronger commodity prices, it’s an easier decision for farmers to stay with the easier cropping systems. “Weed control becomes an automatic issue when talking organics but that’s really more of a ‘coffeeshop’ issue than an actual production issue,” Walker said. The scarcity of organically grown barley relates directly to the extremely wet conditions of last spring. “Traditionally we’re buying from producers in North Dakota, Montana and Saskatchewan. But
thousands of acres just didn’t get planted last spring because of wet fields,” Walker said. Somewhat the same situation with sunflowers but they are a more versatile crop and can be planted much later. “So 2011 was one of our better sunflower years in some areas, especially out in the High Plains regions.” Overseas markets are a big part of the annual operations of SunOpta, especially into Japan, Southeast Asia, Indonesia and Thailand. Clear-hylum soybeans and special variety soybeans for human food consumption are the products into these markets. Walker said 10 to 15 percent yearly increases in their export business were common but the world economy slow-down, plus the earthquake in Japan, slowed their export trade in recent months. Payment to organic growers is based on actual delivered production and invokes “Acts of God” contracts. Prices are good partly because growers are expected to store their production “until needed” at the SunOpta processing center. However, because storage capacity at Hope has expanded considerably, growers can often ship direct from field to SunOpta. SunOpta prices for organic corn approximately double local elevator prices. For instance, their January-February-March pricing is $12 per bushel for 2011 corn. Soybeans are at $19 for this same delivery period. For the 2012 crop, SunOpta offers $9.50 pricing on corn delivered this October-throughDecember period and $19 for organic feed beans. Specialty beans range from $21 up to $23 for organic high protein beans. All prices are based on delivery to Hope. Corn prices can be rail loaded and delivered. SunOpta was one of 80 exhibitors at the Organic Food Conference in early January at St. Cloud, Minn.

be over five and a half feet long. They are one of Minnesota’s largest birds and Pelican Pete is the largest of all. Pete, a giant who may suffer from gender confusion because he is known as the Mother of All Pelicans, is a towering 15 and a half feet tall. He stands at the base of the mill pond dam on the Pelican River in downtown Pelican Rapids, Minn. Unlike his real flesh-and-feather relatives, Pete does not leave the North Country for the Gulf Coast each winter. Year in, and year out, he stands in spray and ice and wind to serve as the gateway between Pelican Rapids’ pleasant downtown and what is one of the prettiest parks in small-town Minnesota. Above Pete are the large millpond, trails and a suspension footbridge over the river. Below him the river rushes under Main, splashes against building foundations, and is gone. Pete’s service to the village has been loyal, but lonely. He’s been on duty since 1957 and not once has he deserted his post. Although visited by humans numbering in the thousands, this bird, with a heart of twisted steel and plaster, has rarely, if ever, been visited by a pelican. This has been difficult. Pelicans are social. They nest together in colonies of hundreds, even thousands, of birds. They soar in the summer sky together and they fish cooperatively. It may have been in recognition of Pete’s miserable social life that the community of Pelican Rapids, on Pete’s 50th birthday in 2007, created an entire flock of miniature Petes. The colorful little birds can still be seen today up and down Main Street, tucked away on side streets, and in the occasional front yard. Some of Pete’s relatives made the news awhile back. It seems that someone shot a few. They were eating the crops, the shooter said. If you raise fish or crawdads, you may need to be concerned about white pelican depredation. But your average corn, bean and dairy farmer has nothing to fear from Pete or his relatives. They just aren’t interested. So, next time you’re in Pelican Rapids, greet Pete. Throw him a fish, or two, and then stroll Main Street in search of his little cousins. ❖

The following market analysis is for the week ending Jan. 27. CORN — Corn extended the previous week’s rally with March corn closing up 30 1/4 cents for the week at $6.41 3/4 per bushel. It has closed higher six out of the last seven trading sessions. The December corn contract lagged, closing up 19 1/4 cents at $5.71/bu. Cash markets were extremely strong right up to the end of the week as exporters try to refill the pipeline. Values at the Gulf were reportedly at 10-year highs for this time of year. Barge freight was strong as PHYLLIS NYSTROM bushels needed to be moved. Corn Country Hedging St. Paul at the Gulf, however, broke sharply lower as traders headed home for the weekend. Farmers’ sales did improve as flat prices were nearly back to pre-U.S. Department of Agriculture final crop report levels and growers did not want to miss it. It remains to be seen if attitudes will be bullish enough to turn the spigot off once again. Spread levels flattened out, not really giving a good indication of the next price direction. Mexico was a good buyer of U.S. corn this week, which we’ll see on next week’s export sales report. The Food and Agricultural Organization is projecting that Mexico will need to import 15.4 million metric tons of corn this year due to drought conditions, when the USDA is only at 9.8 mmt. The United States supplies virtually all of Mexico’s corn import needs.
The livestock markets continue to be extremely interesting. The cash and futures markets seem to be on different paths as we move into the new year. This could continue to keep the markets uneasy and erratic in the weeks ahead. What can you say about the cattle market? It is moving into new high prices and the packers are deep in the red, yet this has not stopped the packers from chasing the market higher for the past several weeks. The leader has been a futures market that has continued to rise despite the lack of domestic demand for beef. The export market has been the catalyst behind JOE TEALE the increasing demand for the beef Broker products which is making up the Great Plains Commodity difference in the domestic slippage. Afton Cattle numbers have been thought to be greater at this time of the year according to U.S. Department of Agriculture reports. However it appears that those estimates are either incorrect or cattle are being held back and fed longer. Weights have shot up which does give rise to the fact that the possibility exists that animals are being delayed in their marketing. At the same time weather has been a positive for better gains since temperatures have been warmer than normal, creating better feeding conditions. The USDA released the Semi-Annual Cattle Inventory Report on Jan. 27 which indicated total U.S. cattle inventory at 98 percent of 2011. The calf crop was 99 percent of a year earlier. The report was seen as neutral to friendly, but is not expected to have a great deal of effect on the current market. See TEALE, pg. 2B
The grain market during this time of the winter can be dreadfully boring. I grant the fact that there has been a troubling drought in much of Argentina and part of Brazil, yet we have been talking about that event for two months and it has become old news. The European sauvignon debt crisis still has the potential to wreak havoc on the global economy, yet this seems to be old news in the marketplace. The U.S. Department of Agriculture released its report on the 2011-12 crop production and stocks early in January, yet many in the market are tired of the debate over the “old crop” TOM NEHER numbers. Market analysts are AgStar VP & Team starting to put out their estimates Leader — Grain Industry for planted acres for the 2012-13 Rochester crops, yet we have three months before we will have any clue as to what impact the weather will have on planting. The markets are waiting for some fresh news to trade on these days. The result of this market environment is continued volatility. With the stocks-to-use ratios so tight in corn and soybeans, the pressure continues to build. The markets are nervous and want to know how the next year’s supply will materialize. The basis is volatile, as grain producers are not in a position that they need to sell grain for cash flow purposes and are in no mood to sell in this market. The end-users are bidding up the basis to buy grain. Without any fresh news, the “bulls” and the “bears” get hungry and grouchy. This is the time of year when many grain producers in this part of the country like to take a vacation See NEHER, pg. 2B

Fed moves ‘bullish commodities, bearish dollar’ NYSTROM, from pg. 1B This week’s export sales were good at 37.8 million bushels. This was the highest weekly sales number since mid-October. This improved total sales for the year to 1.05 billion bushels or only 5 percent less than last year at this time. New crop sales totaled 3.2 million bushels for the week, keeping us well ahead of last year. Argentina’s ag minister cut their corn production forecast to 23 mmt as compared to the USDA’s 26 mmt projection. The Buenos Aires Grain Exchange is at 22 mmt. Weekly ethanol production dropped for the third consecutive week. At 934,000 barrels per day (39.23 million gallons/day) it was down 7,000 barrels from the previous week. OUTLOOK: The $5.80 to $6.60 trading range in March corn was respected this week and I’ll stick with it for the time being. U.S. planting weather will become a more popular talking point as we head into February. Current dry weather should allow for early planting, and if it’s a normal year, an early harvest. There are many tools for a grower to protect their downside risk — remember it look likes 94 million to 95 million acres could be planted to corn this year — and producers shouldn’t forget about that risk as they market
their old crop bushels. SOYBEANS — Traders faced less-thanexpected rainfall in South America to begin the week, but forecasts improved as the week progressed. In spite of perceived forecast improvements, soybeans tried to keep up with gains in corn and wheat. March soybeans were up 32 cents at $12.19 per bushel for the week, but that’s only a 2.7-percent gain versus a 5percent rally in corn. It may be too late for better conditions to significantly help corn production, but soybeans still have time to benefit from moisture. Until that is proven, production estimates have been declining for both Argentina and Brazil. AgRural pegged Brazilian production at 70.2 mmt versus the USDA’s latest 74.0 mmt estimate. Argentina’s ag ministry’s refreshed soybean production figure came in at 48.9 mmt versus the USDA’s 50.5 mmt forecast. The BA Grain Exchange just announced their Argentine bean production number at 46.2 mmt. Weekly export sales were only 17.1 million bushels. This keeps us at 30 percent less on the books than last year for this time of year. It is still above what we need on a weekly basis to meet projections. New crop sales, however, are a different story. While nearly 5 million bushels were sold for the 2012-13 crop year this week, total commitments for new crop

are only 11.4 million when last year we had almost 68 million bushels on the books. China was on their New Year holiday this week to welcome the Year of the Dragon. OUTLOOK: The outlook for March soybeans is $11.50 to $13 with a bias to the upside short term. This is a moving target depending on South American weather and China’s appetite for soybeans. And don’t forget the influence of the U.S. dollar. The Federal Reserve announced their intention to keep interest rates low/unchanged until late 2014, which was seen as bullish commodities

Hogs creep slowly higher TEALE, from pg. 1B With the futures market still leading the way to higher prices, and beginning to approach an overbought condition, producers should continue to approach the market with the idea of protection on future inventories. The hog market has been slowly creeping higher after the sell-off that occurred in the late fall of 2011. Demand for pork has been the key to this recovery in price as retailers look at value in comparison to competitive meats. Packers have been fairly aggressive in accumulating live inventory and prospects remain good that this situation will continue. Export demand has been on the increase once again and has helped solidify the underlying support in the market.
With pork cutouts at less than half the value of the beef cutouts, it would seem reasonable to think that priceconscious retailers, exporters and consumers would look at the value in pork products. Given the fact that hog numbers are near constant according to the USDA, and demand is steady to rising, the outlook for steady to higher prices seems in the future for hog producers. The only detraction to this scenario would be the economic conditions here in the United States and worldwide if they were to turn worse which would more than likely effect demand. Producers are urged to not get too comfortable with the idea that prices will continue to rise, and to keep inventories protected when conditions provide good price protection. ❖
Market wants fresh news NEHER, from pg. 1B to a warmer climate. The grain bins are shut tight and cash flow is solid. It is a natural time to get away from the normal routines and stressors of life. These experiences are healthy and rewarding in nurturing our souls and relationships with loved ones. It is time to enjoy the bounty of a profitable year. The hard part about going on a vacation is getting everything in order to be away from the operational side of our business. Then there is always the returning to a desk piled high with mail or e-mails that have filled the “in-box” on the computer. This “return stage” of the vacation can be important to the success of your business. If one can put together a plan for action upon the return, they can use the rejuvenation of the vacation for maximum gain. This plan should
include improving communication and management skills. Strategies for spring tillage and planting can be established. Marketing plans must be reviewed on a regular basis. Crop input acquisitions can be fine-tuned, to manage production costs. This is a time when one can find a grain angle or two. The market will find some fresh news and the battle for acres between corn and soybeans will soon be in full force. The markets are efficient at “pricing” the fresh news into the price. The communication systems that we enjoy today enable this efficiency. This is why it will be so important to have your marketing plans in order. Conditions can change quickly in this environment. Those who have a plan of action and a fresh spring in their step will be more nimble and able to take action when the time arrives to make their moves. ❖

Be aware of insurance limitations with enterprise units PROGRAMS, from pg. 3B rately in each township section, are now switching to enterprise units, due to large premium savings. Enterprise units will be available for YP, RP and RPE insurance policies in 2012. Following are some things to consider regarding enterprise units. • There are substantial premium savings by utilizing enterprise units rather than optional units. (As much as 50 percent or more on insurance coverage levels of 80 percent or lower.) • Producers need to be aware of the limitations of insurance coverage on individual farms with enterprise units. In 2011, some producers had crop losses on individual farms due to wind, hail, flooding, etc., but were on enterprise units, and as a result did not reach the threshold for any insurance indemnity payments. This can be quite costly. • Enterprise units appear to work quite well with RP policies to protect against price drops during the growing season, also when a producer has most of their land in the same general area, and when supplemental hail insurance coverage is also part of the overall risk management plan. • Enterprise units do not work as well when a producer has a variety of land that is spread across a wide area, or when producers have individual farms that are highly susceptible to natural disasters, such as flooding, drought, frost, etc. • Producers should contact their crop insurance agent to better understand insurance coverage with enterprise units.

Adjusted Actual Production History Yield Endorsement on their crop insurance policies, rather than the standard Actual Production History. The TA-APH option is available on a county basis in 14 states, including Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, North Dakota and South Dakota. The TA-APH yield adjustment factors are made on a county basis, based on historical annual increases in county-average corn and soybean yields, as calculated by the National Agricultural Statistics Service. Most counties in south central and southwestern Minnesota have a TA-APH yield adjustment factor of 2.2 to 2.5 bu./acre for corn, and 0.35 to 0.50 bu./acre for soybeans. Producers should check with their crop insurance agent for the TA-APH yield adjustment factors in their county. A producer’s actual APH yields for each year are then used with the county TA-APH adjustment fac-
tors to arrive at a final TA-APH yield. The TA-APH yield adjustment factor is added for each year of production history, up to a maximum of 10 years of production history. For example, if the yield adjustment factor for corn is 2.5 bu./acre, then 2.5 bu./acre is added for the most recent year (2011), 5.0 bu./acre is added for the preceding year (2010), and 7.5 bu./acre for the year before that (2009), etc. The TA-APH yield adjustment continues back as many years as necessary to arrive at 10 years of yield data on a farm unit. The TA-APH yield adjustment does have a maximum or “cap,” which is the highest reported yearly yield during the reporting period plus the yearly adjustment factor. For example, if the highest reported corn yield on a farm unit was 195 bu./acre, and the yield adjustment factor was 2.5 bu./acre, the See PROGRAMS, pg. 5B

Contact insurance agent well in advance of deadline coverage levels, especially if you are using enterprise units with RP insurance policies. Additional protection can be added at these higher coverage levels for a modest increase in premium costs. Many producers will be able to guarantee over $850/acre for corn and over $500/acre for soybeans at these higher coverage levels. • Be cautious when considering enterprise units, GRIP or GRIP-HP policies for 2012. Enterprise units and GRIP policies become quite attractive due to significantly lower premium costs compared to optional units on RP policies. However, enterprise units and GRIP policies are based on larger coverage areas, and do not necessarily cover losses from isolated storms or crop damage that affect individual farm units. • Where to get more information on 2012 crop insurance alternatives. A reputable crop insurance agent is the best source of information to find out more details of the various coverage plans, to learn more about the TAAPH endorsement, to get premium quotes and to help finalize 2012 crop insurance decisions. • Following are some good websites with crop insurance information. • University of Illinois FarmDoc: www.farmdoc.uiuc.edu • Iowa State University Ag Decision Maker: www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm • USDA Risk Management Agency: www.rma.usda.gov Kent Thiesse is a government farm programs analyst and a vice president at MinnStar Bank in Lake Crystal, Minn.

Bottom line • Crop insurance premium reductions for 2012 2012 crop insurance premiums for most coverage levels of corn and soybeans in the Midwest will be lower than comparable 2011 premium levels, due to RMA premium adjustments that are based on updated crop insurance actuarial data for several years. Minnesota crop insurance premiums for 2012 are expected to drop by an average of 10 to 12 percent for corn and 7 to 9 percent for soybeans, as compared to 2011 premiums, for comparable insurance coverage. • View crop insurance decisions from a risk management perspective. How much financial risk can you handle if there are greatly reduced crop yields due to weather problems and or lower than expected crop prices? • Take a good look at the TA-AYP Endorsement for 2012. It appears that many producers will be able to significantly enhance their insurance protection by utilizing the TA-APH option, with only slightly higher premium costs. The TA-APH endorsement will replace the Biotech Yield Endorsement for corn in 2012. • There are a wide variety of crop insurance policies and coverage levels available. Make sure you are comparing “apples to apples” when comparing crop insurance premium costs for various options or types of crop insurance policies, and recognize the limitations of the various crop insurance products. • Take a good look at the 80 percent and 85 percent

PROGRAMS, from pg. 4B maximum TA-APH adjusted yield would be 197.5 bu./acre. A producer must have at least one actual reported yield for a crop from a farm unit in the past four years for that crop and farm unit to be eligible for the TA-APH endorsement, which must be an actual yield, and not a T-yield that was used. There must be a minimum of four reported annual yields in past 12 years for a crop insurance farm unit to be eligible for the full TA-APH yield adjustment; otherwise the yield adjustment factors will be reduced as follows. • 100 percent adjustment for four or more years of reported yields in the past 12 years. • 75 percent adjustment for three years of reported yields. • 50 percent adjustment for two years of reported yields. • 25 percent for one year with a reported yield. The use of the TA-APH yield endorsement will not directly affect crop insurance premiums, as the premiums are based on the level of coverage and dollar guarantee. However, there could be some reduction in premiums for the same dollar guarantee with TA-APH, if the coverage level is lowered (example: from 85 percent to 80 percent coverage), due to higher federal subsidies for crop insurance premiums at lower coverage levels. The TA-AHP yield endorsement looks to be an attractive option for many producers on their 2012 crop insurance policies. The combination of the TAAPH endorsement, along with the reductions in crop insurance premiums at comparable coverage levels for most producers, will allow many producers to enhance their crop insurance revenue guarantees for corn and soybeans in 2012. Producers are encouraged to contact their crop

Swine herd expansion modest, despite return to profitability
THE LAND, FEBRUARY 3, 2012
Hog producers have remained cautious about expanding their breeding herds despite the industry’s return to profitability — a wise decision considering there is still much economic uncertainty for them, Purdue Extension agricultural economist Chris Hurt said. According to the December inventory report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the country’s breeding
herd grew by only 0.4 percent even though 2011 profits averaged about $15 per head. While that is far from the $27 a head that producers made in 2006, producers lost money over the next few years as feed costs skyrocketed. Although the USDA has estimated that pork production will rise by 2 percent to 2.5 percent this year, Hurt said most of that increase will be attributed to there being more pigs per litter

rather than herd expansion. As the U.S. economy improves in 2012, Hurt said pork demand should remain strong. Exports are expected to comprise 22 percent of all production, meaning pork availability in the United States will increase only by about 1 percent. Smaller supplies of beef and poultry, however, will drive pork demand. Even with the strong demand, pork producers are likely to see a slight decline in profits. “Estimated profits above all costs are
expected to drop to about $13 per head in 2012,” Hurt said. “The strongest profits are expected in the second and third quarters. Some profit is expected in the final quarter of 2012 due to lower corn prices if U.S. corn and soybean yields return to near normal.” Even after the bearish January grain reports, world inventories of corn and soybeans are still tight and will keep feed costs high by historical standards.
