OPINION

Letter: Parry not a true conservative voice To the Editor: I have paid virtually no attention to the political scene in Minnesota. I’m not even certain who is vying for Tim Walz’s seat.

I had an opportunity, though, to listen to Mike Parry in one of his first meet-and-greet get-togethers before we left for California for the winter. Also, I recently read everything on his website.

We had an opportunity to ask questions of Parry at his meeting. He says he is a conservative. I don’t think so.

Conservatives generally have no problem telling you what they believe. Their responses are based on long-established and firm beliefs grounded on solid principles. That clearly was not evident in Parry’s answers. He wouldn’t give us a straight answer about ethanol. He did say, however, that his common retort is to ask whether we want food prices to skyrocket, blah-blah-blah.

This answer is really troubling as it indicates someone who is largely clueless about economics. In addi-

tion, on three or four occasions Parry wouldn’t provide answers to questions because, as he said, he needed to be in Washington to find out what the real answers were. Again, that reflects someone without either core conservative principles or someone whose understanding of conservatism is shallow to nonexistent.

His website is also revealing. There are four basic legs of conservatism. They are one, fiscal; two, social; three, national defense; and four, constitutional.

Parry’s website covers only the fiscal side and even that coverage is marginal given his evident lack of understanding of economics. There is nothing about the other three. Other than wanting the seat Walz now holds, what exactly does Parry stand for?

Obviously Parry doesn’t embody the principles of conservatives or the Tea Party. I sure hope there are other candidates in the First District. At this point almost anyone would do.

Letter: Don’t let EPA sidestep controls, dictate laws is scrubbed (collected) and is a valuable component in Portland cement. When the EPA declares it a hazardous waste, it will cost another $200 million to find a place to park it.

The EPA has any number of older coal-burning plants slated for closing in the near future, plus no new permits have been granted to construct modern, clean-burning plants the past five years. Since new, safe nuclear generators are also not being built, that leaves us with wind and solar energy. They are completely unreliable and cost three to 10 times more per kilowatt to produce. Wind blows more at night (little electrical use) and often not at all on the coldest and hottest days, when electrical demand is the highest, resulting in blackouts.

After the electrical industry has been blighted, fuels for transportation and heating will be next. If you think the cost of gas and diesel is high now, you haven’t seen anything yet. Everything you consume has transportation expense added in to the cost. You can drive “electric” to work, but just don’t live too far away.

So what is in it for us? Besides returning to the “dark ages” you can be thankful that you have greatly reduced your “carbon footprint.” No more global warming, New York and L.A. won’t be under-

water, and with a change in sunspot activity we very likely will return to global cooling. After all, mankind does add 3 percent of new CO2 each year, while Mother Nature only generates 97 percent of the new CO2 each year from fires, volcanos, plant decay, etc.

Thank God for farmers growing green plants which use CO2 to produce oxygen or we really would have some serious environmental problems. Also farmers, we are still in the EPA’s gunsights. Contrary to Sen. Al Franken’s statement to call off EPA’s plan to govern the dust from our harvesting combines, they only agreed to a temporary delay of their plans. Also, livestock generates methane gas — similar to a swamp — which can be classed as hazardous, so maybe the livestock industry needs to be eliminated.

Contact our government leaders and have them put “handcuffs” on the EPA before they destroy our way of life.

THE LAND, MARCH 30, 2012

To the Editor: Our forefathers set up three branches of government — Congress, president and Supreme Court — so we would never experience a dictatorship. Today, however, the Environmental Protection Agency has the power to sidestep these controls and dictate obligatory laws which will destroy the lifestyle of middle-class citizens.

The Pollution Control Agency can now declare CO2 as a hazardous gas (global warming) and then tax all fossil fuel consumption — coal, oil and natural gas. Their first attack is on coal-fired electrical generation. The majority of Minnesota’s rural electric customers get electricity from Great River Energy in North Dakota.

The EPA claims that there is too much haze at Theodore Roosevelt National Park, which is 125 miles southwest of GRE’s coal-burning plant. The prevailing wind is from the west, but GRE has to spend $20 million on equipment to remove nitrous oxide from their furnace fumes which blow the opposite direction from the park. This equipment has been proven to have no positive effect on air quality but would raise electric rates by 35 percent.

GRE’s emissions have been vastly cleaned up the last 40 years. Fly ash previously was a contaminant; now it

Letter: Quick, easy steps on how to lose your vote To the Editor: Several recent columnists have indicated their dissatisfaction with the twoparty system that we use in the United States, and have suggested that it could be solved if only we had another party or two to go along with it. While I probably agree with them on much of their philosophy, I respectfully submit that they are throwing away their vote.

Every election is decided by the winner receiving the majority of the votes. If there are only two parties, the winner must receive at least one vote over 50 percent of the vote. If there are three or more parties the winner can be elected by a much lower percentage.

Gov. Mark Dayton was elected with 43 percent of the vote in the last election. When Ross Perot ran for president, Clinton was elected with less than 50

percent of the vote. Even though he was re-elected, Clinton never did receive 50 percent of the vote. In Minnesota we have seen the independent candidate Jesse Ventura, elected governor. His four years demonstrated the utter futility in electing an independent.

The governor proposes the budget, the legislature disposes. He was independent and had nobody in the legislative body to support his ideas. The governor’s office normally had many bills ready for introduction at the beginning of the session. Under Ventura hardly any bills were produced by the governor.

At the end of the session you had a three-way split on some bills. In the English-Canadian system you just vote for a member of parliament and he might be from one of three or more parties. The parties elect their own leader. If one party receives a majority of the vote, then he and his party are entirely

responsible for bills that are passed, and the budgets. If you are voting for the other two or three parties you have nothing to say about it. The governing party could have been elected with as low as 34 percent of the voters. Two-thirds of the voters would have lost their vote.

While most citizens just complain about the politicians, I would suggest that you get involved and join one of the parties. Bring your ideas to the Republican caucus or the Democratic caucus. Find the one that is closest to your principles and work for their candidates. Your vote will count either way. If you are overjoyed with the way things are working today, I’d suggest you join the Democratic caucus first. If you are a Tea Party member, work for an insurance company, bank, in business or looking for a job, you will be more at home in the Republican party. The opposition can call us “enemies” but we all have to get together to get this country going again. It can’t be solved from Washington, D.C. Any suggestion that we should vote only for the president should remind us that one-person rule is known as a dictatorship. All of our rights cease if we believe any golden-voiced person who promises us everything, but our freedom of choice. Do we really need someone in Washington to tell us what car to buy, or determine what kind of birth control measures we use? We can decide these things ourselves.

Become a leader on your own, not a technocratic sheep worker who my father trusted with cows, tractors and hired men. That gave me an identity and it freed me to become other things. And off I went.

In a 2009 lecture to the plebe class of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, essayist and literary

critic William Deresiewicz tried to explain how this happens. His key idea — one that I am familiar with — was to encourage these future leaders to spend more time alone to avoid becoming “the excelSee GUEBERT, pg. 6A

THE LAND, MARCH 30, 2012

Few things have been more satisfying than the many hours of every day, the many days of every year and the many years across many decades I have spent in solitude. For almost 30 years I’ve worked alone, a full-time free-lancer in an increasingly corporate, increasingly crowded field.

Fortunately I had good training for this solitary life. On the farm of my youth I was usually alone in every field that I worked. I mowed hay alone, cultivated corn and soybeans alone, disked alone, hauled manure alone, plowed alone, planted corn alone.

FARM & FOOD FILE Yet, while my eyes watched the row or the furrow, my mind

By Alan Guebert was anywhere but on the row or furrow. If I spotted a fluffy jet trail headed south, I wondered if it would end in Biloxi or Bolivia and if I’d ever see either.

In between the daydreams, the solitude gave me time to read and to consider who I was. I remember wondering if I would have joined Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys during the American Revolution or followed Daniel Boone into Kentucky?

The reading, observing and solitude, it turned out, were just the start of a life of reading, observing and solitude. The happy start of a happy life.

That sounds as though it shouldn’t be and, yet, it was and is. Solitude, after all, isn’t emptiness and quiet is a peaceful place filled with silence.

Early on I knew I didn’t have to join any group or class to have an identity. I had one; I was a good

OPINION

Letter: Firing right back at ‘right-wing poison’ read it and possibly buy something from one of the advertisers. Is it just that you think everyone thinks like you? Or that none of us would notice?

Besides this editorial and the right wing e-mails, there is a steady stream of poison pouring out across the AM radio dial. There, I am told, (I don’t listen to radio), Bill O’Reilly sics his nutcase listeners on doctors, succeeding in getting one killed several years ago. Glen Beck urges one of his to drive to California to kill people at the Tides Foundation, causing a gun battle with the highway patrol on the way. Michael Reagan wants me shot because I am not satisfied with the findings of the 9/11 commission. He will supply the bullet, he says. Neil Boortz calls poor people worms and tells his listeners they need to carry their guns because we need to see some dead thugs littering the landscape.

I have some small hope that I am not one of the “thugs” he is talking about. A small hope indeed. I am, after all, a liberal, which seems to infuriate him.

Look, this is what you need to do. Take whatever steps necessary to keep your paper out of my mailbox.

Life is too short and I am getting too close to the end of it to want to put up with this kind of thing anymore. I can live without The Land. And I wish you would print this letter but I imagine you won’t.

all. 2008 conclusively demonstrated that. Capitalism is why the Mexicans are here. Business wants (needs?) them.

Liberals didn’t bring them.

A large number of the homeless are veterans, damaged maybe beyond repair by our seemingly endless succession of businessmen’s wars since World War II, and carelessly tossed aside by the same people, both Democrat and Republican, who wanted the wars so badly in the first place.

You might read that Bible you want to keep. It is supposed to be the source of the Judeo Christian values you talk about. Jesus in the Bible is going to give you a little trouble with the idea of health care as a luxury particularly in a wealthy country, such as ours.

Remember the good Samaritan, the foreigner who took care of the beaten man? Jesus might also have had a bit of trouble with the idea of invading and “hammering” places (always poorer than us) that threaten us.

Here is the deal. I am a lifelong farmer, earning my living from it since 1977. I have no other income. I have gotten my son and daughter-in-law established with my wife and I on the farm. I am also a life long liberal and progressive. I am proud to be each and every one of these things. So I can’t understand why you would push this stuff on me in your paper that comes free to the box, hopeful I suppose, that I will

To the Editor: I had no sooner learned how to deal with the right-wing poison that shows up so regularly on my e-mail than I find it showing up in my mailbox in The Land lead editorial just inside the front page (Page 2A, March 16 issue). I am generally pretty good humored, and I am going to try to remain so in this note.

Some of it is just laughable. There is the nasty crack about Michael, Rosie and Oprah and their weight problem. Overweight is a liberal problem?

There are no fat right wingers? Checked out a Tea Party rally lately?

And then the music. Wow! I didn’t think music preference had much to do with citizenship. And sorry, but you don’t get to push me out of “your” history, and “your” name and “your” flag. All those things are as much mine as they are yours. I am every bit as American as you and I am fed up with being pushed.

The entire piece seems to be based on the idea that I have no right to any of these things because I think wrong, in your view. I don’t know what to make of that entire business about loving big cars and the oil industry. My brain works well enough to know that every dollar I spend on more powerful transportation than I need is a dollar I have to work to earn back.

You don’t get to “give” me the welfare dwellers, the homeless, the illegal immigrants (Sorry, Mexicans are not aliens, they are people as much as you and I), and the druggies. The capitalism you so want to keep in the form of Walmart and Wall Street and the corporations, absolutely depends upon the people at the bottom. Capitalism cannot exist without misery at the bottom of the economic heap to keep the wages down and generate the consumer jealousy that makes the system run.

Without the destitute and a pile of resources to exploit and a few, very few, pockets at the top to fill, industrial and financial capitalism doesn’t work at

Letter: ‘Judeo-Christian’ manifesto full of hypocrisy To the Editor: I read Dick Hagen’s editorial with some interest. I get those e-mails from the Tea party people down South, but I thought surely we were better than that up here. These are the same layer of society that fired on Fort Sumter in 1862. Maybe you heard how that worked for them.

Hagen and Rush Limbaugh are birds of a feather. He is a hate-monger, too, only he gets paid $50 million for his hate-mongering, or did until lately. Maybe Hagen could work his job there at The Land magazine into something like that.

I have been a lifelong Republican and never voted for a Democrat other than Tim Penny. I voted for McCain, but I am so happy he lost; we would be at war in Syria and Iran if he had won.

It finally dawned on me that I don’t have much in common with Republicans — they only care about themselves, and their main preoccupation in life is their money. They really aren’t very nice people, and I don’t want to be identified with them.

Since he wants to take the Bibles, I am sure he read what Jesus told the rich young ruler: “Sell what you have

Letter: ‘Unpatriotic tantrum’ saddens readers To the Editor: The unpatriotic tantrum thrown by Dick Hagen and the anonymous author of the e-mail Hagen used in his March 16 column saddened us deeply.

As people who believe deeply in this more than 200-year-old American experiment, it saddens us to see even those who don’t have the courage to sign their e-mails turn their back on the ideas of the Founding Fathers.

Hagen and his anonymous friend want a divorce from those of us they don’t agree with and to they who want to form their own country. Hagen says that his new country will keep our American history.

He apparently wants the history but no memory of that history. He forgets, for example, that a previous secessionist movement did not go well and caused the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans. He also forgets that this nation that we love so much was founded on the idea of religious tolerance and open mindedness. That is part of the history he wants to keep but to forget.

Hagen, and his anonymous friend, want no Muslims in their country. They want no Scientologists.

They want no Humanists. They only want Christians who believe in their particular interpretation of the Christian Bible. They don’t want judges they don’t agree with and they want to keep the military, guns and the police. The nation that Mr. Hagen and Mr. Anonymous are proposing sounds very much like what the Iranians have today.

That people who have had the privilege of living under the American system of checks and balances and the belief in justice for all would want to turn to such a government deeply saddens us. We wonder what has caused them to turn away from the belief in dialogue and discussion. We wonder what has brought them to unpatriotically proposing the breakup of this great country. We sincerely hope they will reconsider and that they will find the strength and maturity to continue talking to those they disagree with.

and give it to the poor.”

And He told the Pharisees what the greatest law was: “Love God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself.” He also told us who our neighbor is — it includes all the people Hagen apparently wants nothing to do with: the poor, homeless, sick, mentally ill, etc. Maybe he can find a little hypocrisy in that manifesto that claims Judeo-Christian values.

In fact, the Republicans fill the same role in our society that the Taliban fills in Islam: keeping women in their place; we can’t have contraception

OPINION

(every carnal thought has to have a price, right?). And life is sacred, at least until birth. After they take their first breath, they are on their own. The poor shouldn’t expect to be able to afford to go to the doctor with their sick child because health care is a luxury, not a right. Right? The working poor can always die; that doesn’t cost Republicans anything.

I’m sorry if I sound a little bitter.

Maybe it’s because I am.

In case you missed what all the fuss is about, grab your last issue of The Land and turn to Page 2A to read Dick Hagen’s recent “Land Minds.”

Letter: Many may base Letter: Founding Fathers votes on fantasy, not facts compromised; why can’t we?

To the Editor: The Land Staff Writer Dick Hagen’s recent opinion piece concerning an e-mail he received that “precisely echoed” his “gut feelings,” was addressed to me, an “American liberal.”

Hagen thinks we should “divide up the country” and live separately. I wonder what Abraham Lincoln would think? Anyway, as to this lazily perpetuated stereotyping, I’m a multiple gun owner and, yes, I hate war just as all sane people do. Yet I recognize the absolute necessity of some wars.

You will take the “smelly oil industry” and leave me “wind and solar.” My tractors and new Dodge pickup will then be useless. Thanks for nothing.

He says that I should deal with the homeless, but he will “keep the Bibles.” Now, unlike some, I’ve actually read most of the Bible. Luke 6:20 says, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God.” Proverbs 19:17, “He who is gracious to a poor man hands to the Lord, and He will repay him for his good deed.” Then, does “We’ll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury” mean that the increasingly costly Medicare should be eliminated? The Republican plans are to end Medicare while saying otherwise.

Now I’ve also received scores of right-wing e-mail, much of which was far worse than Hagen’s. One wished for mass genocide and many were full of lies. I believe there is a kind of tribalism that convinces a large segment of American citizens to live in an alternative reality of lies and half-truths. I do worry that far too many will base their votes on fantasy instead of fact.

To the Editor: I found Staff Writer Dick Hagen’s “divorce” column to be very disturbing. The thoughts expressed are not worthy of your publication. These are the thoughts I would expect from a “shock jock,” not The Land magazine.

I consider myself to be a conservative with an open mind. This Sunday morning at our coffee hour a fellow member of my congregation mentioned this article and we both agreed this type of thinking is how Congress operates, and is one of the primary reasons they have a 9-percent approval rating.

The author seems to believe the word compromise has become a swear word. I am certainly glad the Founding Fathers were able to compromise long enough to draft our Constitution and form this great nation. It seems like a recent phenomenon where the political leaders on both sides of the aisle are unwilling to compromise on any of the issues weighing down this country.

The two big issues — tax fairness and government spending — seem to have an easy middle ground which neither party seems to be willing to find. If Congress was in kindergarten, they would find themselves in the principal’s office routinely. Congress needs to “just find a way to get along” — this is what we expect of any of our elected officials.

The Republican and Democratic parties need to stop listening to the “wings nuts” of their respective groups and find a way to function as a two-party system that is willing to accept a middle-of-the-road approach, also known as compromise.

Perhaps the editors of The Land should be a little more mindful of the dysfunctional nature of our political debate, and give voice to someone of reason and compromise.

Foltz gave Griffin a scion wood so he could start his own tree, as well as a scion wood of a plum called Surprise that he had gotten from someone in Wisconsin.

“Surprise is one of my best eating plums,” Griffin said. Griffin doesn’t know what has happened to Foltz’s orchard since his death. “There’s two species of plums — Red Coat and Surprise — that I may have the last tree in existence. I have 60 different varieties of plums. It’s probably the biggest collection of plums in the country.”

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent David Griffin will readily admit that his current situation came about because he was plum crazy.

Griffin is a collector, tester, researcher and breeder of stone fruit — plums, prunes, apricots, cherries and peaches — with pears, hazelnuts and table grapes added in for good measure. Now that he has retired as a cabinetmaker, his avocation of cultivating delicious, Minnesota-hardy fruit trees and vines has his full-time attention.

“I started out as a tester and collector of mainly plums,” said Griffin, of Cold Spring, Minn. That was when he still had his occupation and children living at home, and before he knew half of what he knows today.

His real learning began while in a public library searching the internet to find Minnesota-hardy fruit trees and it directed him to a nursery in Florida.

Florida?

A fellow overhearing his frustration suggested he talk to Frank Foltz over by Princeton, Minn.

Foltz tested plums as well as other fruit trees, and he loved to talk about them. “I went over and took his grafting class, which is absolutely essential because a lot of these trees I was trying to collect were very, very hard to find, impossible to find in retail and wholesale nurseries,” Griffin said.

For instance, he read an article that came out in 1934 about a plum called Red Coat that had been grown and tested at the University of Minnesota agricultural testing station in Morris. The article said it was probably the best plum they could grow at Morris for quality and survivability.

Griffin called Foltz to see if he had heard of it. It turned out that years ago Foltz had gotten a scion wood (a twig for grafting) from the researcher and

“Maybe, just maybe, you get the hardiness of the one and the fruit of the other,” Griffin said. “That’s what I’m trying to find out. Peaches will always be a long shot, but there’s a good thing about peaches: they bear on new wood. In other words, the wood that grows this year will have peaches on it next year.”

He encourages folks to plant a peach tree. If it doesn’t survive the winter, the shoots that come up in the spring will be six feet tall by the end of summer. Then, if you get one good winter, you will get fruit the next summer.

“You are always only one good winter away from fruit,” he said.

Griffin built a high tunnel for his test peach trees, to see if that helps the trees survive hard winters so he can continue his testing and breeding uninterrupted. He’s grown peaches for 10 years in the cold climate, so he thinks he knows what works, but the high tunnel is another experiment.

Griffin planted his first testing trees in 1999. At one time he had more than 350 fruit trees for testing. Some have died since, but there are still more than 200 trees.

“It was a sideline until I saw what I was going to get,” he said.

Now he has developed an apricot tree that he thinks merits further testing. He is sending out 25 trees, some up north to see how hardy it is, others to a commercial grower to see how it does under commercial conditions.

“There’ll be five years of testing before anyone will even look at it,” he said. “And then it has to be distributed, it has to be grown in quantity, and picked up by some nursery to promote it. (If it succeeds commercially) my grandkids will benefit from it, but I’ll never see anything.”

Griffin is 65 years old, which he joked is old for a breeder. But it is not a drawback for a man who didn’t start testing and breeding fruit trees in order to accumulate wealth. He not only collects and conserves forgotten species of fruit trees, but seeks to produce new species that are hardy for Minnesota weather.

Peaches are not reliably cold hardy in most parts of Iowa. It is possible to grow “Reliance” (yellow flesh, freestone) and “Polly” (white flesh, clingstone) in the southern one-third of Iowa.

Growing peaches in Iowa is challenging. Cold winter temperatures may destroy the flower buds on peach trees. A late frost or freeze in spring can damage or destroy the flowers. As a result, peach trees often bear few, if any, fruit. Gardeners in southern Iowa can anticipate a good crop about once every three or four years. Peaches are also short-lived in Iowa, often dying within eight to 10 years.

low flesh) are not reliably cold hardy in northern Iowa, but can be successfully grown in the southern two-thirds of the state.

Several hybrid plum varieties (introduced by the University of Minnesota) possess excellent cold hardiness and can be successfully grown throughout the state. Hybrid plums include “Alderman” (burgundy red skin, yellow flesh), “Pipestone” (red skin, golden yellow flesh), “Superior” (red skin, yellow flesh) and “Underwood” (dull-red skin, yellow flesh).

European plums are self-fruitful. A single tree will bear fruit.

Hybrid plums are self-unfruitful. Two or more hybrid plum varieties must be planted to ensure cross-pollination and fruit set. “Toka” is an excellent pollinator for Alderman, Superior, Underwood and other hybrid plums.

Which apricot varieties can be successfully grown in Iowa?

Cold hardiness is an important factor when selecting apricot varieties for home gardens. Many apricot varieties are not reliably cold hardy in Iowa. However, a few varieties can be successfully grown in the state.

“Moorpark” is reliably cold-hardy in the southern two-thirds of Iowa. Moorpark is self-fruitful. A single tree will bear fruit. “Moongold” and “Sungold” (University of Minnesota introductions) possess excellent cold hardiness and can be successfully grown throughout the state. Moongold and Sungold are self-unfruitful. Plant at least one tree of each variety for cross-pollination and fruit set.

Are there any peach varieties that can be successfully grown in Iowa?

THE LAND, MARCH 30, 2012

Few things are more enjoyable for homeowners than going out the back door to pick ripe juicy fruit from a tree. With some planning even homeowners with only small yard space can successfully grow fruit trees, such as apples, pears, plums and cherries.

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach horticulture specialists share information about selecting pear, plum and apricot varieties.

What are some good pear varieties for Iowa?

Pear varieties (cultivars) that perform well in Iowa include “Summercrisp” (University of Minnesota introduction, large fruit, matures early August), “Moonglow” (introduced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, medium to large fruit, matures mid-August), “Bartlett” (large fruit, matures late-August, susceptible to fireblight), “Luscious” (developed at South Dakota State University, medium-sized fruit, matures mid-September), “Patten” (originated in Iowa, large fruit, matures midSeptember) and “Seckel” (sometimes called “Sugar Pear,” small fruit, matures mid-September).

Moonglow and Bartlett are not reliably cold-hardy in northern Iowa. They should be planted only in central and southern portions of the state. All of the other aforementioned pear cultivars can be successfully grown throughout Iowa.

What are some good plum varieties for Iowa?

Cold hardiness is an important factor when selecting plum varieties for home gardens. Japanese plums are not reliably cold hardy in Iowa. However, several European and hybrid plum varieties can be successfully grown in the state.

European plum varieties that perform well in Iowa include “Mount Royal,” “Stanley” and “Damson.”

Mount Royal produces small fruit with bluish-black skin and greenish-yellow flesh. Mount Royal can be grown throughout Iowa. Stanley (dark blue skin, greenish-yellow flesh) and Damson (blue skin, yel-

St. Cloud ‘twin’ gardens are gifts of love, hard work

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent The Munsinger and Clemens Gardens in St. Cloud, Minn., offer just about everything a garden lover could want.

Do you prefer an informal garden with meandering stone paths and lots of shade trees? Then stroll through the Munsinger Garden along the banks of the Mississippi River and spread a blanket for a picnic.

Or do you prefer the symmetry of a formal garden with brick paths radiating out from splashing fountains?

Then cross the street, follow a path uphill, and inspect the Clemens Gardens with themed areas and four fountains.

These “twin” gardens, separated only by Riverside Drive, each have a different character that complements the enjoyment of its neighbor.

Munsinger Garden is the older of the

two. Originally the site of a sawmill, the city of St. Cloud acquired the land for a riverside park, the flower part of which was eventually named for Joseph Munsinger, the city’s first park superintendent who oversaw its development. Here is a casual atmosphere where folks can relax and meditate as they watch the Mississippi River flow by.

She succumbed to her disease in 1998, and the Clemens Memorial Dome with a replica statue of the generous couple now stands adjacent to the Virginia Clemens Rose Garden. Built in 1990, the Clemens purchased 1,100 rose bushes to get it started. Since that time, two trial rose gardens have been planted near the formal garden, one operated by the American Rose Society.

Four additional gardens are also a part of the Clemens Gardens (which can be accessed from Kilian Boulevard if you don’t wish to walk up the hill from Riverside Drive).

The Rest Area Garden has clematis and rose vines, and one of the tallest outdoor fountains in Minnesota, a playful 24-foot tall Renaissance Fountain with cranes, topped by a watering girl. Restrooms and a gift shop are also in this garden.

The White Garden lives up to its name, and is modeled after a garden at Sissinghurst Castle in Kent, England.

The four squares of the Treillage Garden each display a different color. A 100-foot long treillage divides the gardens. Under its central dome stands the Three Graces Fountain.

New plant cultivars appeal, but will they perform?

Paging through plant catalogs in search of exciting new cultivars is a time-honored tradition during Minnesota’s long winter.

But Kathy Zuzek, a University of Minnesota Extension horticultural educator, advises: “Before investing, find out if the cultivars you desire have been shown to perform well in Minnesota gardens.”

Nurseries and catalog retailers should provide customers with the best performing plant selections for the climate and other growing conditions of the customer’s location, but the trend in horticulture is to move new plants onto the market in the shortest possible time frame.

“In the blink of an eye, newly introduced cultivars disappear from garden centers and catalogs and new plants take the limelight,” Zuzek said.

This creates some problems. Cultivars — plants developed for distinctive traits that set them apart from other plants in the same species — are now introduced to Minnesota gardeners from around the world. When rushed to the market, the plant’s performance in Upper Midwest gardens might skip their turn in evaluation trials.

Purchasing inexpensive, fast-maturing, un-trialed cultivars might be worth the risk. You could get lucky and discover a new favorite plant. Zuzek warns that it is much riskier to buy expensive un-trialed shrubs and trees that take years to reach maturity.

If newly introduced cultivars are displaced quickly by even newer cultivars, they might prove to be a good

performer in our Minnesota gardens after they have already been removed from nursery catalogs. Alas, you’ll never know what could have been.

The emphasis on the new and exciting may also eliminate older cultivars from the nursery trade.

What if older cultivars that have proven their longterm landscape value are replaced with un-trialed cultivars that fall short of the mark?

Zuzek suggests that wise gardeners can help solve these problems by asking “What’s good?” rather than “What’s new?”

Need help finding out “what’s good”? Here are some of Zuzek’s suggestions.

• Look to land grant universities and affiliated Extensions. The University of Minnesota is home to research programs that develop cultivars of turfgrasses, herbaceous perennials, ornamental shrubs and trees, and fruit crops for the Upper Midwest. These cultivars are highlighted on Extension’s Minnesota Hardy website (www.extension.umn.edu/go/1101). Information on garden plant selection can also be found on Extension’s Garden website www.extension.umn.edu/Garden.

• Ask an Extension Master Gardener. Countybased Master Gardeners regularly educate in their communities, so don’t hesitate to approach them when you see them. You can also ask online (www.extension.umn.edu/go/1100) and receive an answer within approximately 48 hours.

• Visit the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum to view plants that grow in Minnesota’s hardiness zones. The

arboretum (www.arboretum.umn.edu) is home to thousands of ornamental cultivars of annuals, herbaceous perennials, ornamental shrubs and trees, and vegetables and fruits. Also, check out the Plant Info section (plantinfo.umn.edu) on the arboretum website.

• Take advantage of the information available from plant evaluation programs. The All-America Selections program (www.all-americaselections.org) and the Chicago Botanic Garden’s Plant Evaluation program (http://bit.ly/yF3YyU) evaluate and identify garden plants for superior performance. The horticultural garden at the West Central Research and Outreach Center in Morris, Minn. is home to one of the 47 All-America Selections test sites.

Study shines light on cost cutting for greenhouse growers Greenhouse bedding plant growers can save themselves time, money or possibly both by giving cuttings in propagation more light, according to a Purdue University study.

Flower growers use cuttings from Central America and Africa to start spring bedding plants in greenhouses

during winter and early spring. Those cloudy days and cool temperatures make propagation time- and energy-intensive.

Roberto Lopez, an assistant professor of horticulture, and horticulture graduate students Chris Currey and Veronica Hutchinson study ways to minimize inputs and production costs in the flori-

culture industry while improving product quality. Based on what they were hearing from growers, they realized that light wasn’t getting the attention it needed from the industry.

“In their minds, temperature has always been the most important thing.

They didn’t think about light,” Lopez said. “We knew that light was significant, but we realize we didn’t know what level to recommend.”

Currey said growers were concerned that using too much light would stress the cuttings and disrupt root development.

“The dogma has been to keep light low, but that actually made the cuttings take longer to root,” said Currey, whose findings were published in the January issue of the journal HortScience.

Currey, Hutchinson and Lopez propagated nine popular spring bedding plants under differing amounts of light for two weeks. They took a quality index used in forestry and modified it for bedding plants to assess the quality of the plants based on the light levels. They measured stem length, stem caliper, shoot dry mass and root dry mass.

Overall, plants rooted faster with more light and the plants were higher

quality. Both factors could increase profits for greenhouse growers, Lopez said.

“With reduced production time, you can save on production costs or increase your crop production by starting another second crop that wouldn’t have been possible with reduced light,” Currey said. “That’s increased profits through greenhouse space savings or energy savings, as well as through a higher-quality product.”

A copy of the paper, with more specific light requirements, can be viewed at https://sharepoint.agriculture.purdue.edu /agriculture/flowers/publications.aspx.

Next, Lopez and Currey plan to study the morphological and physiological changes associated with light and cutting propagation, as well as how LED lights can be used to add supplemental daily light for cuttings.

The Fred C. Glockner Foundation, U.S. Department of Agriculture Specialty Crop Research Initiative and the Indiana Flower Growers Association funded this research.

ATVs and ROVs can be hazardous to operate. For your safety always wear an approved helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing. Never engage in stunt driving; riding and alcohol/drugs don’t mix and could cause serious injury or even death. Avoid excessive speeds and be particularly careful on difficult terrain. Arctic Cat recommends that all riders read and understand their operator’s manual before operation. Along with concerned conservationists everywhere, Arctic Cat urges you to “Tread Lightly” on public and private lands. Ride only on designated areas or trails. Preserve your future riding opportunities by showing respect for the environment, local laws, and the rights of others when riding. Do not shoot from or lean firearms or bows against the ATV or ROV. Never carry a passenger on a single-rider ATV. Only ride an ATV that is right for your age. Supervise riders younger than 16. ATVs are only recommended for users over 12 years old. Arctic Cat recommends that all riders take a training course. For safety or training information in the U.S., call the ATV Safety Institute at (800) 887-2827. In Canada, call the Canada Safety Council at (613) 739-1535 or see your dealer.

Great diversity available from Seed Savers Exchange SAVERS, from pg. 17A through before it becomes part of the collection. We recently hired a fulltime seed historian, Sara Straate. She is a seed detective of sorts who spends her days making phone calls, studying seed books and researching the web, whatever it takes to learn as much as we can about the variety.”

Their work is not limited to seeds.

An orchard that contains rare heritage apple trees was recently expanded to preserve more than 350 of our country’s rarest and most historic apple varieties. The new orchard will also feature educational facilities for apple grafting workshops and improved accessibility.

We encourage the exchange of seeds of favorite heritage plants.

— John Pederson Gardens of all sizes and for different purposes dot the 890-acre Heritage Farm. The gardens close to the Lillian Goldman Visitors Center are filled with flower, herb and vegetable varieties with the intent to educate and inspire, Pederson said.

“In 2011 our commercial seed operation maintained 23 isolation gardens for seed offered in the SSE catalog,”

Pederson said. “The gardens are spread throughout the farm. Our gardening crews tend to these plants all summer long, they are harvested and properly packaged for resale before leaving the farm.”

Pederson also encourages gardeners to become SSE members. One of the benefits is that members receive the SSE Yearbook as well as a 10-percent discount on all catalog purchases. The yearbook is comprised of seeds that members have available for sale. It contains thousands of varieties not available in the SSE catalog or any seed catalog for that matter.

“We encourage the exchange of seeds of favorite heritage plants,” Pederson said. “In the catalog we may offer 50 peppers; but the yearbook will have over 900 varieties.”

To have a listing in the yearbook one must be a Seed Savers member. Every year members exchange thousands of varieties in the SSE Yearbook. Around 700 “listed members” grow and save over 13,000 fruit, grain and open-pollinated vegetable varieties to offer to other members. Seeds, plants, roots, bulbs and more are exchanged by contacting the listed member directly — either by phone, e-mail, the Online Yearbook or by mail.

The diversity available in the yearbook is astounding — imagine choos-

ing from over 4,000 tomato varieties. It also includes many hard-to-find plant types such as amaranth, cowpeas, horseradish, Jerusalem artichokes, wheat and scorzonera, to name a few, Pederson said. Many of these varieties are not commercially offered and available only because of the preservation work of SSE’s listed members.

Visitors come to Heritage Farm for many different reasons. One draw is watching for the many birds that inhabit the land that is partially cultivated and wooded. That combined with the Pine Spring Creek that runs through the hilly and valley terrain makes it a bird paradise.

May 5 has been set aside for the annual organized bird and wildflower event. Two local birding experts give guided tours and a breakfast is served. More than 100 species of bird sightings have been documented at Heritage Farm.

Besides seeds, the Heritage Farm has a herd of White Park Cattle and a Heritage Poultry flock. The 2011 display included four chicken breeds: Mottled Java, Black Sumatra, Golden Polish and Light Brahma bantam.

The Lillian Goldman Visitors Center is open March 1 through Dec. 23. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., and weekends 10 a.m.-5 p.m. It is estimated that 20,000 visitors stop at the Heritage Farm each year. ❖

Grain Outlook Planting report anticipated

Livestock Angles Bulls happy to see March end

Grain Angles Grains running with the bulls

The following market analysis is for the week ending March 23.

CORN — Corn turned a corner this week when we ran out of food for the bulls, longs exited positions (falling open interest), and before the March 30 U.S. Department of Agriculture Prospective Plantings and Grain Stocks as of March 1 reports.

Speculators have cut their long positions before the March reports in five out of the last six years. Anticipation for an early, quick planting season pushed new crop December corn to the lower end of the trading range.

PHYLLIS NYSTROM The lowest December corn has Country Hedging traded this calendar year is St. Paul $5.47 per bushel and this week we pushed down to $ 5.50 1/2 per bushel. Nearby corn saw increased competition in the feed market when China bought 350,000 metric tons of Australian feed wheat. There are ample supplies of global wheat.

Feeders in the southern Plains have reportedly put hard red winter wheat into their rations also.

Ethanol production was up a mere 1,000 barrels per day this week while total stocks increased 700,000 barrels to 22.7 million barrels. Ethanol stocks are up 15 percent from a year ago.

Staying with the new crop corn, an article from my alma mater, the University of Illinois, surmised that Corn Belt planting in March results in a slight yield decline, planting in the early to mid-April through early May time frame presents a window for maximum or nearly maximum yield potential, and yield declines again as planting gets later and later.

As we finish out March in the livestock markets, the bulls may be happy to see it finally come to an end.

Over the past several weeks the hogs and cattle markets have taken a substantial slide in prices. Due in part to slowing demand and slumping cutouts.

The leader for several months has been the futures market for cattle prices. It appears that nothing has changed in that respect, however instead of leading prices higher, the futures have led prices lower. The slumping demand for beef has finally overtaken the speculative buying on the premise that cattle numbers were not great enough to keep up with the ever JOE TEALE growing demand for beef.

Broker Great Plains Commodity But, like every market, everyAfton, Minn. thing has a price where if too high in price, the market seeks out substitutes to these high-priced commodities.

This appears to be the case in the cattle market.

This downturn in the cattle market appeared to have begun when beef cutouts approached $200 per hundredweight. These prices in comparison to other competitive meats forced retail buyers to back away from beef and turn to other sources of protein.

On March 23, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released the Monthly Cattle on Feed Report. The results are: on-feed as of March 1, 103 percent; placed during February, 103 percent; and marketed during February, 98 percent. The report was seen as slightly negative as the marketing number was less than anticipated and the number on feed slightly greater than expected.

Considering the depth of the recent break in prices, a little recovery rally may not be out of the question.

Grain markets have been on a bull run lately, with soybeans working to secure acres this year.

On March 20 the grain markets experienced a sell off that caused the investment funds to re-examine their commitment to the markets. Many frustrated bulls questioned the selloff, maintaining that no major fundamental changes had occurred in the supply and demand situation.

Headlines continue to tout reduced soybean production estimates in South America, at the same time Chinese demand remains constant.

Domestic corn supplies remain tight with most pre-quarterly stocks TOM NEHER report estimates showing another AgStar VP & Team Leader strong quarter of usage.

— Grain Industry May soybeans had rallied more Rochester, Minn. than $2.60 in just over three months.

Over the past 64 trading sessions, the May contract had closed higher 42 days. More impressive was a higher close 16 out of the last 20 days.

The weekly Commodity Futures Trading Commission Commitments of Traders reports indicated that investors’ net-long futures position (long position minus short position) was about 8,600 contracts the week of Dec. 4, 2011, had grown to almost 173,000 contracts last week.

The disbelief that the grain markets would selloff in light of this strong demand situation was common among grain producers. Yet, with this type of dramatic run-up in price and open interest in the grain markets, a correction was due to come. It is like the pressure valve on a boiler letting off steam when the temperature gets too high.

Is this the beginning of the end of the great Bull Run in grain? Probably not, but it is a reminder that markets do not always go up.

Information in the above columns is the writer’s opinion. It is no way guaranteed and should not be interpreted as buy/sell advice. Futures trading always involves a certain degree of risk.

South American crop estimates keep shrinking South American crop estimates were as small as they’ll get, another lower estimate gets released.

Argentina’s Ag Ministry lowered their forecast to just 44 mmt versus the USDA’s 46.5 mmt estimate. Trade ideas are leaning toward the possibility that combined soybean production from Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay could slip as low as 113 mmt. The USDA was at 120 mmt on the last report. If so, it’s estimated we’ll need closer to 80 million acres of beans to compensate.

Soybeans do not usually experience price movements as wild as corn in post-March 30 trading. Only two of the last five stocks reports have resulted in a price move of 50 cents for more.

Last year after the March report, May soybeans closed up 38 1/4 cents, but they have closed lower three times out of the last five years on the day of the March report.

MARKETING

Weekly export sales were a disappointment to the trade, but are still running ahead of the 9 million bushels per week we need to achieve forecasts. The 13 million bushels reported this week was the smallest in five weeks, but we narrowed the gap from last year to 23 percent behind.

CNGOIC in China believes they will import 25 percent more soybeans in the first half of this year versus last year. Many would disagree since their imports were only up 6 percent from last year for the same October-to-February time frame.

Other news out of China this week also lent pressure to commodities, including their plan to increase fuel prices by 7 percent (the biggest increase in over three years), and a purchasing managers index reading that fell to 48.1 in March versus 49.2 in February.

bushels of a stocks report once out of the last nine quarterly reports. Corn has traded the daily limit after the last three quarterly reports. After the March report last year we traded the 30-cent limit higher. May corn has closed higher three out of the last five years after the March reports. This year the daily trading limit in corn is 40 cents.

And don’t forget about China. This week their State Council Development Research Center stated their corn demand-supply is near a point that will result in higher corn imports in coming years, possibly as high as 20 million mt by 2020.

OUTLOOK: We’ll know a lot more after March 30, but in the mean time the double bottom in May corn at $6.31 3/4 is seen as support.

In the December contract, the $5.50 area will be viewed as support. For the week, May corn closed down 26 1/2 cents at $6.46 1/2 and the December contract lost 16 3/4 cents to settle at $5.57 1/2 per bushel.

Something to put on your radar screen was an announcement from China that said they may have overstated their last three years of grain production by 100 mmt and users should be looking at prices for next season.

SOYBEANS — Buying beans and selling corn was a popular spread activity this week as good weather refreshed ideas that early planting could mean fewer soybean acres. Once the planter gets started on corn, it’s hard to stop them if the weather cooperates.

Just when the market thought that

THE LAND, MARCH 30, 2012

NYSTROM, from pg. 20A U of I’s Darrel Good said that a smaller-than-average percentage of the crop planted late could increase average yield potential, but not by much. The location of the additional acres that are expected to be planted to corn this year is expected to have a minimal effect on overall trend yields, according to his statements.

He also expects, at this time, that the average corn yield will be near the long term trend of just under 160 bushels per acre versus the USDA’s early estimate of 164 bu./acre. The difference in the 160 or 164 bu./acre yield, using 92 percent harvested acres of anticipated 95 million planted acres, could result in a change of nearly 350 million bushels of production.

Turning our attention to the upcoming March 30 reports, it is not unprecedented for big swings in corn prices after the report. The acreage report will be interesting, but the yield will ultimately be more influential. For example, if acreage is one million acres different, it roughly equates to 147 million bushels of production; if the yield changes 4 bu./acre, it could mean a 350 million bushel swing (see previous). The grain stocks report may carry more weight in market direction this year.

The Dec. 1 stocks of 9.642 billion bushels implied first quarter feed usage down 12 percent from last year.

Conversations have circulated that the USDA will increase the ethanol production conversion rate from 2.7 to 2.8.

This would reduce the corn for ethanol category, but most would look for an offset in feeding.

Trade estimates for grain stocks have only been within 150 million

Hog rally delayed Large bet with huge consequences TEALE, from pg. 20A If this rally occurs it should provide producers an opportunity to protect their live inventories.

The hog market has been struggling for the past six months to maintain any prolonged rally. The main culprit for this struggle has been the ample supply of live inventory of hogs allowing the packers to be more selective in their price discovery. Couple this with an increase in cold storage stocks of pork and as a result prices struggle to maintain current levels, and even begin to slide.

The seasonal patterns would suggest that hog prices increase as we move toward the summer months. However, unless there is a change in either the supply of hogs or a dramatic change in economic conditions in the short term, a price rally in hogs will more than likely be delayed this year.

There is still the possibility that a minor rally could develop since the market has been dropping for several weeks and is technically becoming short term oversold. If these recovery rallies develop, producers should give consideration of protecting their late-spring inventories. ❖

MARKETING

NEHER, from pg. 20A By the time that you read this publication, the March 30 U.S. Department of Agriculture Quarterly stocks report and planting intentions will be in the market. Historically this can be a “market changer” report and set the tone for the trade until mid-summer.

The fact that so little of the 2012 crop has been priced leaves a large risk on the grain producer’s shoulders. Most are betting the entire crop on higher prices. That is a large bet with huge consequences.

In poker, the longer you hold your cards and up the ante, the more stress the players experience. Remember that there is only one winner and many go home disappointed.

The planting season is at hand and it appears that we

will get an early start this year. This tends to support the notion that more corn will be planted than soybeans. With the dry fall and winter that we have experienced, we will need timely rains to recharge the soil moisture profile.

After the crops are planted the market will begin to trade weather forecasts into the price. Weather markets can be volatile and “gut wrenching.” If one can keep in mind the principles of margin management, it can be a strategy that will lead to more sleep at night.

During this busy time, remember to take extra caution with large machinery. Farm-related accidents occur most often when we are tired and in a hurry.

Take the time to stop, look and listen. It could save the life of a loved one. ❖

Farmer selling dries up in all commodities NYSTROM, from pg. 21A OUTLOOK: Concern over Chinese demand due to disappointing economic news and good weather in the United States is balancing smaller production projections in South America.

Farmer selling dried up across all commodities as prices slipped lower throughout the week. We could still

be in for high volatility this spring and summer, so be attentive. May soybeans were down 8 1/4 cents for the week at $13.65 3/4 per bushel. May beans have support at $13.25 and resistance at $14 or higher. November beans were down 5 3/4 cents this week at $13.22 1/2 per bushel. A case may be made for a range of $13 to $14 per bushel in the November contract as we head into reports and spring weather. ❖

Gould: Projects MILC payment of 88.74 cents He said the current level of milk production growth was a recipe for a crisis, and that the Dairy Security Act would have helped keep milk supply in balance with demand by sending early signals of shrinking profit margins and the need to cut milk production.

Smith also announced the DFA’s plan to construct a new dairy ingredient plant in Fallon, Nev. The plant, due to be operational in summer 2013, will produce whole milk powder for export, and use about 2 million pounds of milk per day.

Interestingly, the milk supply is on the minds of dairy leaders in the rest of the country as well, Natzke said. In the past week, initiatives in New York and Wisconsin were introduced to increase milk production by 15 percent in each of those states, while in California, Land O’Lakes Western Region producers were informed they needed to reduce milk production beginning April 1, or face severe financial penalties for producing above their base levels.

Specifically, the Rural America Preservation Act of 2012 has a hard cap on marketing loan gains of $75,000 ($150,000 for a couple). The remainder of the payment limit would be a cap on the total amount a farmer can receive in safety-net payments in general. The bill sets a measurable standard for someone to qualify as actively engaged in farming by providing management for the operation and provides an exception for farming operations where there is only one manager of the farm.

■ The nation’s largest dairy cooperative, Dairy Farmers of America, held its annual meeting this week.

DPW editor, Dave Natzke, reported details in Friday’s DairyLine.

He said that DFA president and CEO Rick Smith characterized 2011 as a “good to great” year for DFA members and generally good for the overall co-op.

Net sales rose $3 billion, to nearly $13 billion, Natzke said. Milk payments to producer-members increased to nearly $8 billion, with an average pay price of $20.50/cwt. However, costs associated with the acquisition of Kemps Dairy resulted in a net loss of $36.7 million to the co-op.

Noting slumping milk prices and continued high operating costs, Smith said 2012 will be a challenging year for the DFA and one means to address that will be dairy policy reform. He said the co-op remains fervently in support of the Dairy Security Act which was based on the National Milk Producers Federation’s “Foundation for the Future” proposal.

MIELKE, from pg. 24A to June 1 to consider amending the California Class 4b minimum milk price formula. You’ll recall I reported two weeks ago that a number of dairy producer organizations and cooperatives called on the CDFA to do so.

California’s 4b milk price had lagged the comparable Federal order Class III price for some time, as I have regularly reported, primarily because of the way whey is factored, make allowances, etc., and has averaged $2.66/cwt. below the federal order Class III since the CDFA put a new pricing formula in place in September, according to the Milk Producers Council.

California law requires the CDFA to announce a Class 4b price that is in a “reasonable and sound economic relationship” with the national value of manufactured milk products,” the MPC charged in its recent newsletter. “The practical reality is that we currently have a Class 4b formula that is structurally incapable of staying in a reasonable and sound economic relationship with what cheese manufacturers must pay around the country.”

■ Meanwhile; Dairy Profit Weekly reported that U.S. Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Tim Johnson (DS.D.) have introduced legislation placing a hard cap of $250,000 per married couple for federal farm payments, and close loopholes that allow non-farmers to qualify for federal farm payments.

The senators had introduced similar legislation earlier this Congress, but wanted to be sure the legislative text would accommodate any type of safetynet program adopted in a new farm bill. The latest bill is also sponsored by Sens. Brown (D-Ohio), Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Enzi (R-Wyo.), Harkin (D-Iowa) and Nelson (D-Neb.).

Update your cropland cash rental rate for a fair price Cash rent lease agreements are popular because they are intended to be simple, relieving the owner of making decisions throughout the year and giving tenants the freedom to make their own decisions for raising a crop.

Fluctuating markets, the risk and returns from changing prices, yields and costs are all borne by the tenant, making it a challenge for a landowner

to decide a fair price for the land.

pare different methods for computing a cropland cash rent. It includes inputs for current prices, typical farm yields and estimated production costs to provide answers based on projected returns to the land.

The Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Ag Decision Maker website provides several resources to address that challenge. The Ag Decision Maker leasing page is a portal to all Iowa State resources on improving farm lease contracts. The decision tool, Cash Rental Rate Estimation, is a user-friendly spreadsheet to com-

Users can estimate rents based on a share of gross income, yield potential, CSR, land value, tenant’s residual or a crop share equivalent. Detailed information on each method is available in the coordinating information file, Computing a Cropland Cash Rental Rate.

According to Tim Eggers, ISU Extension specialist, many lease rates are negotiated through the winter months. “There is a common misperception that rents are set before the lease termination deadline of Sept. 1,” Eggers said. “Landlords or tenants who want to make a change in their existing lease, whether it is oral or written, need to provide a notice of lease termination to the other party prior to Sept.

1. However, the leasing year doesn’t begin until March 1. Many lease rates and conditions are negotiated after harvest and even in the winter.”

The leasing page, www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm/wdleasing.html, is a portal to rental surveys, lease forms and advice on how to improve farm lease contracts. The cropland cash rent decision tool and information file are available online, at county ISU Extension offices, or by contacting Ag Decision Maker at agdm@iastate.edu.

ous tillage, planting, fertilizer and chemical application, grain harvesting, and forage harvesting functions on the farm. The survey also includes many miscellaneous farming practices, lists average machine rental rates for some equipment, and includes a formula for estimating average machinery rental rates.

The survey also lists average custom farming rates for corn, soybeans and wheat. Over the years, the average custom rates for farm operations in southern Minnesota have been close to the average Iowa custom rates.

2012 custom rates Average 2012 farm custom rates for some typical tillage, planting and harvesting practices, as well as custom farming rates, are listed in the table on Page 28A. The complete 2012 “Iowa Farm Custom Rate Survey” is available at www. extension.iastate.edu/agdm/crops/pdf/ a3-10.pdf.

All listed custom rates in the Iowa survey results include fuel and labor, unless listed as rental rates or otherwise specified. The average fuel price for diesel fuel assumed in the quoted custom rates was $3.25 per gallon. A fuel price increase of $0.50 per gallon would cause most custom rates to increase by approximately 5 percent.

These average rates are only meant to be a guide for custom rates, as actual custom rates charged may vary depending on continued increase in fuel costs, availability of custom operators, timeliness, field size, etc.

Custom farming agreements An alternative to leasing farmland is a “Custom Farming Agreement.”

In a typical Custom Farming Agreement, the custom operator agrees to perform all the machine operations on the owner’s land in exchange for a set fee or rate. (Note: Average Custom Farming Rates for 2012 are listed in See PROGRAMS, pg. 28A

Custom Farm Agreement provides extra income PROGRAMS, from pg. 27A the 2012 Custom Rate Survey Table.)

The landowner pays for all seed, fertilizer, chemicals, crop insurance and other input costs; receives all grain produced and all eligible farm program payments on the land; and is responsible to store and market the grain.

One obvious advantage to the custom operator is that a Custom Farming Agreement provides some extra farm income, with little or no additional operating capital or farm machinery investment. Fuel, lubrication and repairs are usually the only added costs. In addition, custom farming offers a fixed return per acre to the custom operator, and although there is some possibility of higher repair bills, this is minor compared with the price and yield risks typically faced by a farmer in a normal cash rental contract.

Of course, in a good year, profits from a Custom Farming Agreement will be lower than under most cash rental leases. However, in this era of much higher land rental rates there is much more risk to the farmer with a cash lease as compared to a custom agreement with a landowner.

Landowners also find several advantages to a Custom Farming Agreement. Landowners with small acreages can make most of the crop production and grain marketing decisions without the investment into a full line of farm machinery. The landowner does not have to negotiate land rental rates, or worry about collecting lease payments, since the owner receives all of the crop proceeds. The landowner does have to pay the farmer an agreedupon per-acre fee for the custom farming services by specified dates. The landowner is considered to be the material participant for income tax purposes, and the landowner is typically entitled to all government farm program payments, crop insurance indemnity payments, etc.

Key issues with custom farming agreements Although the concept of a Custom Farming Agreement is simple, close communication between the custom operator and the landowner is essential. A written contract for the Custom Farming Agreement should definitely be prepared that specifies the amount of payment by the landowner to the custom operator, and all other perti-

• The custom operator may be asked for advice by the landowner regarding the seed corn hybrid or soybean variety to plant, fertilizer rates, chemical applications, levels of crop insurance coverage or grain marketing decisions. However, the final decisions on these items lie with the landowner, and the custom operator needs to be careful not to take responsibility for the final authority on those decisions.

• Typically, the harvested grain of the landowner is delivered by the custom operator to a farm storage facility owned or rented by the landowner, or to an agreed-upon area grain elevator, as part of the Custom Farming Agreement. Any grain deliveries beyond the local area usually result in the landowner paying an extra custom rate charge for grain hauling. Also, if the landowner uses the custom operator’s grain drying and handling facilities, there is typically an added charge for these services.

PROGRAMS, from pg. 28A • There needs to be an accurate count on the number of acres that will be under the Custom Farming Agreement for payment purposes, and so that the farmer can accurately plan tillage, planting and harvesting schedules.

• The normal field practices to be included under the Custom Farming Agreement should be listed (tillage, planting, weed control, harvesting, etc.).

Typically, these agreed-upon practices are part of the per acre custom farming payment for the year that is negotiated between the custom operator and the landowner.

• Additional tillage trips or replanting due to weather conditions, or added spraying applications of pesticides to control weeds, insects or diseases, which are provided by the custom operator, are usually charged to the landowner at a custom rate per acre that is over and above the base custom farming rate.

• Timing of planting and harvesting operations should be discussed and negotiated between the custom operator and the landowner prior to the growing season. This can become a tenuous issue, especially in years with challenging weather conditions.

Dance and boom

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

32 A

y father was born in 1904. He spent M part of his childhood on a farm in northwestern Minnesota, near Mahnomen. When I was a youngster he said there were a lot of prairie chickens when he was a kid. He said that in the mid1960s.

At that time, the idea that there were ever a lot of prairie chickens anywhere was a wonderful idea to a boy interested in anything to do with the outdoors.

Apparently, when dad was a boy there were hundreds of thousands of the birds in the prairies and newly cleared forests.

But within less than a generation there were few to no birds where they had been countless.

From a prairie chicken history perspective, my boy-dad lived in a remarkable time. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources speculates that there were no prairie chickens in northwestern Minnesota 50 years before my father’s birth.

But by 1880 they had followed the destruction of the forests from southeastern Minnesota, where they are believed to be native, to expand into the northwest.

They took advantage of the railroads, logged-over pine forests and the native prairie, and their population exploded.

But once my grandpa, and others, started plowing the land the birds were doomed.

They say male prairie chickens dance and boom.

But close up, a Prairie Chicken sounds like a musical Whoopee Cushion. That strange sound was common for my father as a boy. I had never heard it until I went to Bergen Lake Prairie, in Wadena County, on a cold April dawn some years ago.

There, in a grassy marsh, a small flock of prairie chickens was hanging on. I camped and got up well before the sun. Standing on a ridge above the marsh I

Rothsay, Minn. barely heard them. You can hear a prairie chicken a mile away.

These were that far. In the dark cold air I heard a gentle bending of the atmosphere. A slight throb in the distance, like a signal coming to me from my father’s childhood.

Focus on walleye, but concentration on northern pike

THE LAND, MARCH 30, 2012

OUTDOORS, from pg. 1B The Waterville, Minn., facility still hatches some 35 million walleye fry each spring for stocking efforts in southern Minnesota. However, the eggs now come from fish netted elsewhere in the state.

The Waterville site also hatches and raises up to 200,000 muskie fry from eggs taken from brood stock netted in Lake Rebecca in northern Minnesota.

In recent years, the hatchery has become an important source of northern pike fry as well.

Once upon a time, northern populations replenished themselves quite nicely in southern Minnesota, Pittman said.

If the pike needed any help, it consisted of Fisheries personnel netting some wild adult northerns and placing them in natural wetland areas adjoining lakes in need of a few more of the toothy predators.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Nature then would take its course and the hatched fry eventually would make their way into the lake system.

Surveys of pike populations in recent years revealed declining numbers of the toothy predators in many south central Minnesota waters.

Degraded or vanishing quality spawning habitat was largely to blame.

Pittman said the approach now is to The feather is used partly out of tradition, but also out of necessity because it can mix the hatch the pike fry under the controlled

fragile eggs and sperm with minimal damage.

After a brief soak in quiet water, the fertilized eggs are transferred to heavy glass jars where carefully metered and monitored water flows through them.

“The eggs will begin to hatch in two to three weeks, depending on the water temperature,” Pittman said.The estimated 1.5 million fry that will be hatched at Waterville this spring will provide 75 percent of the northern pike stocked annually in Minnesota in coming months.

Walleye remain a focus of the facility.

Minnesota is, after all, a place where walleye is king.

And it’s true that some fish snobs sometimes refer to northern pike as snakes, slimers, even snot rockets.

But most uppity anglers would agree that there is something to be said for the slashing attack, the sizzling runs when green lightning suddenly strikes.

The jars of ripening eggs now bubbling away at the Waterville hatchery are insurance that the lightning strikes will come more frequently.

‘Girl Hunter’ combination of thoughtfulness, surprise

GANG SLATS

with a rancher in Wyoming who wasn’t who he said he was. She missed “harvesting” axis deer in Texas, traveled to England for a “social hunt,” to New Orleans for ducks, and to upstate New York to hunt squirrel.

“I ... have looked my food in the eye and made a choice ...” says Pellegrini. “It was all amazing.”

Think life’s best spent gun-toting in wilds, woods or weeds? Then you’re going to love this thoughtful, meaningful, surprisingly gentle book.

With a poet’s eye toward a conscious dinner, Pellegrini takes her readers on a search, not just for wild game but for what she calls a “primal part” of one’s being. I couldn’t stop reading as Pellegrini dug into this foray with gusto and blood, which gives her book an occasional Lord of the Flies feel that’s almost always abutted by thoughts so beautiful that you almost want to weep.

Because of that, and because of the easy-to-follow gourmet recipes included, this memoir will firmly ensnare hunters and eaters alike. If that describes you, then, “Girl Hunter” is a book to shoot for.

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

“Is it possible to eat only the meat that you kill?” she asked.

Pellegrini’s first answer came in the Arkansas Delta where she joined silver-haired men at a hunting camp they called the Village.

They were out for turkeys then, and after a quick tutorial on guns, Pellegrini bagged two gobblers with one shot. Later, she hunted there for doves, deer and wild boar.

In Texas, she shot a javelina, then had to explain to airport security why she was toting “frozen animal parts” in her luggage. She hunted for grouse in Montana, and spent an edgy week

So where did it all come from? To say “a restaurant” or “the grocery store” is cheating, especially after you’ve read “Girl Hunter” by Georgia Pellegrini.

One day not long ago, after looking up from the trading floor of a Wall Street firm and wondering how she got there, Pellegrini suddenly knew that a life in finance was not where she belonged. Determined to “nourish (her) soul again,” she set out to become a chef.

Still, there was something missing.

She was working at a high-end restaurant, serving the same people she had formerly toiled beside, but pretension marred her job, presentation was more important than nutrition, and food was being wasted.

Then the head chef gave her an “unusual order.”

She was told to slaughter five turkeys for the

Love, caring for a child the legacy of a true hero town. Children walk, run and bike to their cul-de-sac knowing that if Nolan or Rhonda is home, there will be a freezie in the garage freezer just for them.

When Rhonda was a child, she was blessed in a similar way. She would run with her sisters to their elderly neighbors, ring the doorbell and ask for a happy pill. Years later she learned the pills had a name: jellybeans.

It’s not the size of the gift, but the size of our heart — our genuine care for people who matters most.

Every child needs at least one person who loves him or her unconditionally. To speak love and care into the life of a child is the legacy of a true hero.

Youngest daughter, Melanie, told us the Senior Class Hall of Fame categories that will be published in their high school yearbook. Each student in their small class received an honor as most musical, most competitive, most stressed, most unique, and so on.

Melanie earned the award for most adventurous, which probably had something to do with her skydiving experience last fall.

If your friends and family created a Hall of Fame category for you, how would you best be remembered today?

Nichole Nordeman considered that and put her thoughts to music in her song, “Legacy”: “I want to leave a legacy. How will they remember me? Did I choose to love?

Advantages we offer: • We unload directly from the trucks to a floater (Terra Gator) without stockpiling material.

This gives us a more uniform spread with no foliage to plug up the spreader.

• With direct loading there is no stockpile, no wasted lime or mess in your field.

• We use a floater (Terra Gator) to spread so we have less compaction.

• We are equipped to spread variable rate using GPS mapping.

• We service Minnesota and northern Iowa.

Why apply Aglime: • A soil ph level of 5.5 nitrogen efficiency is only 77 percent.

• A soil ph level of 6.0 nitrogen efficiency still is only 89 percent.

• At a soil ph level of 7.0 fertilizer efficiency is 100 percent.
