Do facts and truth have a role in political discourse?

OPINION

Maybe.

And maybe it was BPI’s political grease — “(A)t least $546,500 to candidates for state office in Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota and Texas, where it has plants,” reported the Des Moines Register March 31 — that caused the unsavory facts to slip right out of their collective memory.

Or maybe the truth, like facts, simply has no role in political discourse today.

And maybe it doesn’t matter that if consumers walk away from BPI’s product completely, an estimated 1.5 million more cattle will be needed to take its place.

For the record, 1.5 million cattle is far more demand created by consumers than all the demand created by $1.5 billion spent by the beef checkoff in the last 25 years.

On second thought, it matters. The truth always matters. Calling a cabbage a rose doesn’t make it a rose.

But you know that.

USDA’s “School lunch officials said that in some years Beef Products testing results were worse than many of the program’s two dozen other suppliers ...

“From 2005 to 2009, Beef Products had a rate of 36 positive results for salmonella per 1,000 tests, compared to a rate of nine positive results per 1,000 tests for other suppliers, according to statistics from the program.”

(Links to the Times 2009 story, its 46 pages of supporting government and industry documents, and other sources are posted at www.farmandfoodfile.com.)

Beef Products did not deny those facts, reported the Times, but explained the disparity by noting “its testing regime was more likely to detect contamination.”

Wait a second. The problem wasn’t the higher rate of contamination; the problem was BPI’s ability to find it more often?

Oh, baloney.

Did BPI officials and their political defenders simply forget that it was BPI who confirmed these contamination problems to the New York Times in 2009?

Their freshman year, however, they were not very involved.

“The first year was kind of a test where (the FFA officers) planted mainly corn,” Fritz said.

Boomgaarden expects the success to continue.

“We have a lot of good workers in the students,” he said, “and they have a good attitude.” ❖

RTR, from pg. 4 and even the eggplant went over well, she said, along with carrots, green beans, sweet corn, green peppers and other vegetables.

“The produce goes to all three schools (elementary, middle and high school),” Williams said. “The elementary really like the beets.”

The elementary students have also come to Tyler from their Ruthton school building to help with the planting and harvesting.

Part of the challenge, Boomgaarden said, is planting vegetables that mature when school is in session.

However, Williams said, this year they will be planting some crops that the cooks intend to harvest and put up during the summer.

The Horticulture Class works with the cooks to determine what they want, then makes a blueprint for the garden. RTR also has a greenhouse, which the horticulture class uses to raise plants for spring sale.

When it is cleared of those plants, it will be used to plant vines for later transplantation to the garden.

The Ag Economy and Business Class will run the field crop area as to what they want to do out there, and they will set up the project, Boomgaarden said.

The first couple of years have been labor intensive, planting the orchard and setting up the framework for the grape vines. Last year weeds were a timeconsuming challenge, especially in the summer when student volunteers are counted on to care for the crops. To reduce the labor intensity in the garden, this spring they will lay down mats to help control weeds and drip irrigation hoses for watering.

Fritz also said they would plant rows so they can cross-cultivate.

This is a Land Lab where students are learning all aspects from planning and planting to harvesting and distribution. And it being a lab, they will continue to experiment with crops and methods.

Has it been a good experience? A fun experience? A learning experience?

“I think all three of those,” Williams said. “For the

the carpet), I said I would just stay home. He, being the farmer and the one used to coming up with his own ideas and inventions, had an idea, of course.

He went to the office and cut a long piece of yarn and grabbed a sheet of red construction paper. He tied the yarn into a hole he’d made at the top of the piece of paper and draped the paper and string over the curtain rod, letting the paper fall to the floor. He then proceeded to explain to me that his plan would work great.

Our son would be on the couch (which was next to the living room window, which faced out into the farm yard). If he felt like he was getting sick and needed help, he could pull on the long string of yarn, pulling the sheet of construction paper into full view in the window, and my husband would then, (even if he was outside) see that he needed his help right away.

And there we had it — a father’s health care plan hanging from a piece of yarn in the window. And the plan did work perfectly. Fathers of invention get very little credit compared to their gender opposite.

Of course, one of those things that many a farm wife has learned to do, is cut the family’s hair. When the hog market first took a dive in 1993, paying for hair cuts was something that was slashed from the budget. I had to learn how to do it or let everyone walk around

looking like they belonged to the Rolling Stones. It would be years before our children wanted to look that way.

After a lot of years of using the apron that separates man from his own severed hair, the string used to tie it around the neck finally wore through and broke. Wondering how I was going to fix this, my husband — who happened to be in the basement barber chair at that time — had an idea right away.

Out came the veterinary supplies tub, and he fished out a clean prolapse needle and some string, also used to fix said prolapses. He threaded the needle, then proceeded to sew the string very carefully in and out around the top of the apron, leaving two long pieces at each end so that I could tie it again.

Who knew that livestock female problems could actually contribute positively to household repairs?

It’s been said that, to be successful at raising livestock, you have to learn to think like the livestock. While happy that I never did learn how to think like a hog, I do think I better first master learning to think like a farmer.

It could keep me in the farm wife business for yet another year.

Paul Day remembered Long-time Minnesota state FFA adviser Paul Day passed away Nov. 9 in Northfield, Minn., but he will not be forgotten at this year’s state FFA convention, April 22-24, at the University of Minnesota.

His contributions to Minnesota FFA and to agricultural education will be honored at the FFA Foundation honors reception 4-6 p.m. April 23.

On the afternoon of April 24, the state winning Parliamentary Procedure team will be awarded with a traveling trophy named after Paul M. Day. This trophy will be presented each year to the state winning team in Mr. Day’s memory. ❖

Memories of FFA’s Mr. Day Paul was my vo-ag and FFA instructor for four years at Faribault Senior High School. During that time he never spoke an unkind word to any of us students. He treated us with respect and as if we were family. He encouraged me to attend college and to make a contribution in the world. He was truly a wonderful mentor for me. I owe him much.

25 Years: Being officer made ‘phenomenal impact’ HICKS, from pg. 7 Hicks got involved in the Tracy High School FFA program because he saw there was a good thing going, and wanted to be a part of it. He credits the Tracy community and the high school adviser, Jere Rambow, for building a strong program at Tracy.

“He (Rambow) was just a real giddy-up and go type of guy, and the community had a number of real strong leaders in a strong ag-based area,” he said.

“The chapter had built a string of success over the years.” Hicks got in on the strength of the livestock judging teams. “A few years ahead of me in high school the team won the national contest at Kansas City,” he said. He remembers as a sophomore he was a member of the general livestock judging team with two other sophomores and one junior and that team won at the National Western Stock Show in Denver.

“Being on the livestock judging team wasn’t a given,

it was a challenge to even get on the team,” he said.

In addition to being on judging teams, Hicks also served as the Tracy chapter treasurer and president, as well as a district officer. “I had no aspirations of doing anything more than that.”

That was until he attended the University of Minnesota, St. Paul, and he met Dean Harder, the state FFA president from the 1985-86 team.

“We lived in the same dorm and he encouraged me to fill out an application and to send it in.”

Obviously, that encouragement panned out as Hicks replaced Harder as state FFA president in the spring of 1986, Hicks’ freshman year at the U of M. All along, Hicks had the intention to return home to farm, and he did become the fourth generation to be a part of Nettiewyynnt Farm Ltd. Partnership near Tracy. Hicks says his great-grandfather originated the unusual farm name from the letters of the words “ninety” and

“twenty”, the numbers on the original deed in 1885.

The Hicks farm is now mainly crop farming, with a few head of livestock for 4-H shows.

“In 2000, we were calving a couple hundred cows and realized it was a lot of work and thought there may be a better way to focus our time and management, so we liquidated the herd and then bought a commercial tiling machine.” he said. “We started doing a lot of tiling, mainly for us.”

That work with farm drainage worked into a controlled drainage research plot on 125 acres of Nettiewyynnt Farm.

“We are elated by what we’ve found,” he said. “We are retaining our nutrients. NPK are not heading down the river or into the drainage system.”

SCHREIFELS, from pg. 7 was to go to vet school at the U of M,” she said. “Well, that didn’t quite work out.”

Schreifels credits Marzolf with making the most out of her FFA career. “The biggest difference in a person’s life is to have an adult from outside of the family to be a good influence ,” she said. “That was Mr. Marzolf for me, and a lot of other people. Everyone felt like they were special and that we all had huge potential.”

Schreifels has tried to take Marzolf’s example and put it into practice in her own work at Caterpillar Inc. “We have a mentor program for new hires and I’ve been involved in that as a mentor,” she said.

“Now, they are college graduates, but I still try to help them along. ... I think a female role model is good in our industry.”

Schreifels took that FFA introduction and ran with it, “willing to jump into anything that I could” participating on the dairy and soils judging teams, as well as a farm business management team that made it to state.

She credits Marzolf with encouraging the Forest Lake FFAers to spread their knowledge base.

Chapter treasurer and district president were her stepping stones to the state treasurer position, which she ran for in the spring of her freshman year at the University of Minnesota where she was majoring in animal science.

That year as state FFA officer was one of the most rewarding experiences in her life.

It also opened her up to trying new things, such as changing her major to a business degree in the U of M Carlson School of Management, “with a minor in ag econ. to keep my ag connections.”

Right after college, she traveled to France in the Communicating for Ag program, spending the summer of 1990 on a goat farm, and then backpacked the See SCHREIFELS, pg. 12

25 Years: Earlier officer team inspired drive to try contest. ... he went above and beyond.”

She also took part in FFA extemporaneous and public speaking contests.

In addition to the inspiration of Hanson and Damhoff, Carlson remembers being inspired by the state officer team she encountered while she was a first-year FFA member.

“I saw them, and the way they handled themselves and I knew that was something that I wanted to do,” she said.

She first worked her way through as chapter secretary, chapter president and regional vice president before running for state FFA officer the spring of her senior year in high school.

She spent her first two years after high school at Willmar Community College, before transferring to

the University of Minnesota. She graduated in 1991 with a communications degree in technical writing.

She had an internship with a public relations firm, before going into retail sales and management. She worked in retail in the Twin Cities, St. Cloud and Willmar, before making the move to the hospital, where she has been for 13 years.

“That was a good move for me,” she said. “I get a good balance, and it’s good to be close to home.”

Caren and her husband, Brad (a Department of Natural Resources fisheries biologist at Spicer, Minn.) have three children: Larry, 13, Eliza, 10 and Brandon, 6.

“They are going to join 4-H this year,” she said. “I will encourage them to make choices that will help them in the future. I will also make them aware of what’s available.” ❖

FROST, from pg. 7 Twin Cities. “I had sold a dress to a woman, and she paid cash. This woman came back a year later and she was so amazed that I had remembered her name. That’s networking and that’s important.”

Networking early on inspired Carlson to get all she could out of her FFA experience. She credits Willmar High School’s FFA advisers, Doug Hanson and Dave Damhoff, with recruiting non-ag families to the FFA experience. “Doug had an awesome ability to draw in people and to make it interesting and fun,” she said.

As a freshman she joined the floriculture team, and they made it to the state convention. She remembers in preparation for the contests, Hanson “took us all around to all the trees so we knew what they looked like, and what we’d be seeing during the

phenomenal impact on me for such situations. It gave me the confidence and opportunity to work with people who would have intimidated me.”

Hicks and his wife, Michelle, have nine children, ranging from age 2 to 20.

Just as with his parents, David and Jean, Hicks will be supportive of whatever path his children decide to follow. “If one or all of them want to farm, we would find room for them,” he said. “We’ll probably have a couple that want to farm.”

The two older children, Meridith, 20, and Bradly, 19, are students at Calvary Chapel Bible College in

Murietta, Calif.

For now, the children old enough are active in 4-H and FFA, as had been the oldest two. “I encourage them to do things, be a district (FFA) officer, whatever to take full advantage of what’s available to them.”

Brian and Michelle encourage all their children to follow their own interests. “Whatever their interests are, we support them to follow what they want to do.”

The rest of the Hicks family is Jakob, 15, Mariah, 13, Madelynne, 12, Mercedies, 9, Adam, 7, Mallorie, 5, David, 2. ❖

As mentioned before, Hicks’ plan was to return to the farm, but he knows that he would not have been involved with the drainage research had it not been for his FFA officer experience.

With the drainage research experience “I have had the opportunity to speak to large groups of diverse people, people who think farmers are harming the environment,” he said. “Being a state officer had a

25 Years: Business success due to FFA leadership POLIKOWSKY, from pg. 7 got comfortable being in front of people before I knew that I should be afraid of it.”

That first speech, she remembers, was about her 4-H heifer named Viking, named such because the

heifer was born during a Minnesota Vikings game.

Public speaking experience that started with a talk about a 4-H heifer got her ready for the FFA stage, where as a high school freshman she won the state creed contest, advancing her to the national convention.

“FFA gives you a safe place to work your skill sets, work on your skills and not be afraid of making a mistake,” she said.

That training of not being afraid to make mistakes has served Mesenburg well in her professional career. “FFA molded me to take risks.”

The summer between her junior and senior year in college, she landed an internship with World Wide Sires Ltd. in California, a leading cattle genetics marketing organization representing the majority of the U.S. artificial insemination cooperatives. She worked on developing advertisements for the World Wide Sires.

She graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1990 with a degree in animal industries communications marketing. After college she moved to Litchfield, Minn., where she did ag marketing for Center National Bank, before being “stolen” away by First District Association, an independent dairy cooperative, also based at Litchfield.

She then landed a job at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., so she and Dan (originally from Red Wing) could get closer to family. There she oversaw the department for computer education training for the Mayo location in Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., and Scottsdale, Ariz.

“I got to do a lot of travel, and it was a good job, but I realized that I didn’t like working for somebody else.”

That realization prompted the couple to purchase a ServiceMaster franchise in March 2000. As with any new business venture there are growing pains.

“That was a little scary at the time, but it was an incredible move,” she said. “Everything I learned as a state officer has helped me along the way.” Mesenburg’s ServiceMaster franchise is in the disaster restoration and carpet cleaning business. “We provide 24/7/365 restoration services, and the first few years we (Dan and Amy) did all of the calls ourselves,” she said. Mesenburg’s crews are called in to help after fire or water damage, “most of the water damage calls are the emergencies, after a big rain or a burst water pipe in the middle of the night.” Now that the business has grown, Amy is able to have staff hired to handle the majority of the calls. Her first year in business, her franchise did about $100,000 in business, and last year did well over $1 million.

“If we get really busy, we will get involved,” she said.

That “we” now includes the couple’s children: Laura, 19, and Robert, 17, and if things get real hectic, even some of Laura and Robert’s friends get recruited.

“I am very careful when I hire,” she said. “I’m very particular about my training ... all my employees have been certified to a high level.”

“As an FFA officer we learned how to serve, how to lead, and how to do things the right way.”

Doing things the right way was entrenched in Mesenburg and her three brothers by their parents, Marvin and Aileen. “We always had strong family support,” she said. She remembers her parents always being there for all of the children’s activities, even with the constraints of the home dairy farm.

“Even my brothers (Bruce, Brian and Brad) were supportive,” she said. “In the barn, while doing chores, they would be quizzing me on interview questions.” ❖

Enter and his wife, Amy, have encouraged their four children to use the talents that they had been given, both leading by example.

Amy was state 4-H vice president the same year Mark served as state FFA vice president, and they met at a youth leadership conference in Knoxville, Tenn. They met again at that year’s (1987) state fair, and then started dating and got married in 1989.

Alex, 19, and Nathan, 17, both attended state FFA conventions with their father while he was judging ag sales and parliamentary procedure contests.

Alex was in FFA at Stillwater High School, and will be going to the University of Minnesota, Crookston, next fall where he has been attending through the Post-Secondary Enrollment Options program. He plans to be in the ag business program. “He’s a salesman at heart,” Enter said of his eldest son.

Nathan had attended a charter school in Stillwater, until his sophomore year when he decided to be homeschooled, and Amy is the teacher. Nathan, a self-taught musician, wants to make that a career, but, according to his dad, knows that that will require a college degree.

Grace, 13, and Sophia, 6, both attend Lutheran school in Stillwater. Regardless what his children decide, Enter will encourage them and support them.

“I look back at my folks. Having the ambition to be a farmer as a child in the ’70s and ’80s was not a good thing, but they never shot that down,” he said.

“They were always very supportive of what we wanted to do. I remember them building all of us up in front of other people, they were our biggest fans. ... that’s the way any parent should be.”

Larry and Dee Enter have four daughters in addition to Mark, who is the oldest. ❖

for when he ran a second time for state office, this time getting in at the second highest spot in the FFA association.

Even though the six constitutional FFA officers are given titles, Enter didn’t feel that a hierarchy existed. “The goal was to have a consensus or an understanding of what is best for the team. I don’t recall a time as a state officer where we couldn’t come to a consensus.”

He sees that same thinking with his team at the New Richmond, Wis., Lakeside Foods plant where he is general manager. “We have a team of strong individuals but we need to work together. Thoughts of working as state officers come back to me often.”

He has worked in various capacities with the company, which has gone through a number of name changes, and currently is general manager at the Lakeside Foods production plant in New Richmond, Wis. “I’m really proud of that fact, that I’ve been with the same company for 20 years.” The New Richmond plant processes green beans, red beets, carrots and potatoes, most of that produce coming from within Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Enter knew he wanted to work in agriculture, with the intent as a youngster to farm, but he knows his career path would have been different had it not been for the FFA experience. “The FFA experience was essential in gaining me confidence, and gaining a love for service. Working with people is so rewarding. That experience of being in front of a group of people has made a big difference for me as a business leader.”

Enter gives credit where credit is due. In addition to FFA, Enter knows God gave him the talent. “God gave me the talents, FFA gave me the opportunity to use it and refine it.”

ENTER, from pg. 7 neat to use equipment that people had used 20 to 30 years before,” he said.

The ag interest of the young Enter prompted his father, Larry, to get Mark in touch with Vern Richter, the Watertown-Mayer FFA adviser, even though Mark was too young to be in FFA. “My dad could see that I was interested in production agriculture, so he got me in touch with Mr. Richter who could help me along the way.”

Once he was old enough, and since he was already familiar with Richter, Enter was joining FFA as an opportunity to get involved in something that he loved.

“Vern was encouraging in helping you develop your leadership skills,” he said. Enter dove into public speaking, dairy and wildlife contests, and got exposed to leadership when he attended the state FFA leadership camp during the summer after his freshman year.

“There I got to know the state officers at that camp.”

That exposure prompted him to run for a regional FFA office as a high school junior, and then as a senior served as district president and regional vice president.

The natural progression was to then try for a state office, which he did, but did not get in on the first try.

“When I didn’t get elected, I never doubted that I’d run again. I wasn’t intimidated or disappointed.”

That year that Enter had hoped to serve as a state FFA officer was instead spent as a regional vice president, allowing him to work closely with the state officer team. “That was a very valuable experience for me, working with the state officer team,” he said.

“I simply got to know a lot more people at leadership camps. Just meeting more young people.”

That year’s experience gave him added confidence

25 Years: Paul Day’s lessons have served well HELGET, from pg. 7 Busch thought that the young Helget had what it took to be a state officer, adding to the long list of state officers from the chapter.

“He thought I had a good shot at it,” she recalls. “I remember him telling me, ‘well, you know, everyone (from St. James) who has run for a state office has got it.’ No pressure there.”

Obviously, she did have what it took.

“I am so glad that I did it. I learned so much, met so many people,” she said. “You get a nice combination of skills that helped me with the people aspect.”

During her year as state officer, she was attending Winona State University in the nursing program.

She would later transfer to the University of Minnesota to major in ag education.

After graduating from the U of M in 1991 she went to work for Nutrena Feeds under Cargill.

Connie and her first husband, Rick Haler, moved back to Minnesota from Kansas as they were in the process of completing their family.

“I had been offered a teaching job at Sibley East High School, but our second child was on the way, and I didn’t take that job.”

What she did do was go back to nursing school, completing her degree in 1997. She started working at Ridgeview Medical Center in Waconia, Minn., in 1993, and has been there since.

She has worked in various departments at the

medical center, “worked the shifts to cater to family time,” with the emergency room being her favorite due to the “adrenaline rush.”

She is now in the endoscopy department at the clinic, mostly in Waconia, with occasional shifts in Chaska.

Paul Day’s lessons have come into use in her work at the medical center.

“He taught us how to communicate,” she said. “He said ‘you are the one to keep the conversation going.’”

He also taught officers “the ability to mask your feelings and carry on with empathy and sympathy. ... knowing the right thing to say.”

That has served her well in the medical field.

Connie’s daughters — Chaneen, Victoria and Jenifer — all are holding onto the dairy background of their mother. Chaneen, now a freshman at the U

of M, was a Princess Kay of the Milky Way finalist last year. Victoria, a high school senior, is a Carver County dairy princess this year, and Jenifer, a high school junior, is going to dairy bowl for 4-H. “We live five to six miles from my former husband’s farm, so the girls can have that farm connection,” she said. Connie and Ken Haasken married in October 2011.

Connie herself has “always been involved in the dairy princess program.”

She looks back at the upbringing she and her seven siblings by their parents, Darrel and Vivian Helget. “They did well teaching us morals, and they let us push ourselves.”

Pushing herself to the state officer position was one of the best moves she ever made.

“That year (as state officer) probably changed my life more than any other year, other than having kids.” ❖

Once back stateside, she worked for some public relations firms, before going to work for Caterpillar Inc. in 1995 in Brooklyn Park, Minn. Shortly thereafter, Cat released its Lexion combines and she moved to Omaha, Neb., to lead the marketing of the new harvester.

She is now Caterpillar Inc. strategy manager for Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and as of the first of this year she has been living in Paris, France.

meantime she listens to French audio books, and “on DVDs I’ll watch the French channel just to keep that part of the brain active.”

As an American in Paris, Schreifels has a threeyear work visa, with the possibility to extend it twice for one year at a time.

Looking back in the Forest Lake High School shop class, she would have never imagined herself where she is today. “Not in a million years. ... As I walk down the street in Paris, I have to stop and think, wow, how did I get here.”

She credits a lot of that “wow” to FFA. “I strongly credit the FFA experience to get me to have the strong self confidence to explore, expand and grow.”

Schreifels is engaged to Vincent, who also works for Caterpillar. ❖

Corn balance sheet a USDA surprise

Cattle, hogs under pressure

Human error found in best estimates

The following market analysis is for the week ending April 13.

CORN — Another U.S. Department of Agriculture report and another surprise as the USDA left the corn balance sheet totally unchanged, just like last year, with ending stocks at 801 million bushels on the April 10 USDA report.

The trade had been expecting a reduction to 717 million bushels. The categories on the balance sheet were stagnant with the feed/residual at 4.6 billion bushels. The implication here is that 26 percent of the year’s feed use will happen in the last half of the marketing PHYLLIS NYSTROM year and suggest the same level Country Hedging of rationing as last year. This has St. Paul many in the industry scratching their heads that this will occur.

The average on-farm price narrowed to $6 to $6.40 per bushel. World ending stocks for 2011-12 were reduced to 122.7 million metric tons from 124.5 mmt last month. Argentina’s corn production was dropped 0.5 mmt to 21.5 mmt while Brazil’s production was left unchanged at 62 mmt.

Here’s an interesting quote from the USDA report, “Prospects for feed and residual disappearance during the remainder of 2011-12 will be limited by an improving outlook for summer wheat feeding and the potential for 2012 new crop corn use during August. Prospects remain favorable for a large yearto-year increase in winter wheat production with planted area up 1.1 million acres and crop condition ratings substantially improved from last spring at this time, particularly in the hard red winter wheat

The livestock markets have been under considerable pressure lately as prices have fallen sharply over the past several weeks. Weakening demand and adequate supplies have put both cattle and hog markets on the defensive.

It appears the fundamentals finally caught up with the cattle market during the past 30 days. After the large influx of managed money in the futures market had pushed prices beyond the point where demand began to shrink for the beef products, the buying dried up. The subsequent result was an immediate readjustment of the current price structure.

JOE TEALE This supports the old adage that Broker the cure for high prices is high Great Plains Commodity prices. Now that the cattle market Afton, Minn. has gone through this price adjustment, the probability of the overall fundamentals of supply and demand are likely to reassert themselves into the current pricing structure.

Boxed beef prices have taken a severe drop over the past several weeks under the weakening demand for beef. Because of this readjustment in price, it is likely that boxed beef prices will begin to stabilize and help the overall cattle market steady in the weeks ahead.

Because of all these events over the past several weeks, the trend in the market appears to be changing from a bull market to a bear market. That does not mean that there will be no rallies but that any rallies will fall short of expectations.

With the futures well discount to the cash market and oversold, rallies can be expected in the short term. Producers should be aware of the good basis and take See TEALE, pg. 15

Last week was spring break for my wife, who is a first-grade teacher, and our youngest daughter who is a junior in high school. I have gradually recognized the value of taking a winter or early spring vacation since moving to Minnesota.

Over the years, I have also learned the value of taking a break from the markets. It is helpful to disengage from the day-to-day focus on all of the latest news, theories or rumors about the markets. I have also found it helpful to travel outside of my local growing area to be reminded that the world grain markets do not revolve around what I see out my back door.

TOM NEHER I will grant that I generally AgStar VP & Team Leader never fully disengage from study— Grain Industry ing the agricultural activity of the Rochester, Minn. locations of my travels. This year we traveled to Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. The wheat and oats were all headed out and in the “filling” stages. As these crops mature, soybeans likely will be planted into the stubble after harvest. The corn was 12 to 16 inches tall and being sprayed with herbicides. The life of a farmer is similar no matter where you live. Risk, volatility and opportunity do not have geographical boundaries.

Upon returning and catching up on my mail, email, market news and other sources of information, I saw a wide range of reactions to the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture report. They ranged from rants, “I don’t trust the USDA numbers,” conspiratorial innuendo, international espionage, to “96 million acres of corn and a 164 bushels per acre trend line, corn will have a 4 (price) in front of it.” All of this

Will China now turn to South America for beans?

Hog market on a downward spiral TEALE, from pg. 14 advantage of this condition for current inventories and use rallies to protect longer term inventories.

The hog market has been on the downward price spiral since the peak last August. Hog numbers have continued to remain well above projections which kept pork supplies more than adequate to meet demand. This has kept the hog market on the defensive through the entire period. All of this despite the fact that export and domestic demand for pork has continued to expand.

As long as numbers of hogs remain enough to offset

the demand for pork, rallies in hog prices are likely to be short lived and disappointing overall. Considering the values of the different meats, pork still remains the best value in the marketplace. This should result in hog prices narrowing the gap between its competitive meats such as beef.

Seasonally this is the timeframe that usually sees a rally in hog prices and this year should likely be no exception. The only caveat would be that the rallies are not likely to take the hog prices into new highs over the nextt year. Producers should approach the rallies with caution and protect inventories on strength. ❖

The stocks-to-use ratio fell from 9.1 percent in March to 8.2 percent this month. The average onfarm price was forecast to range from $12 to $12.50 per bushel. World ending stocks were cut from 57.3 mmt to 55.5 mmt. The eagerly awaited South American production numbers were decreased to 45 mmt for Argentina from 46.5 mmt last month and 45.3 mmt estimated, and to 66 mmt from 68.5 mmt for Brazil versus 67 mmt estimated.

China was a buyer of both old crop and new crop U.S. soybeans this week, keeping their steady pace intact. China has now bought 21 mmt with all but 1.6 mmt shipped. China has bought 5.46 mmt of new soybeans in total, roughly the same amount of new crop they had purchased at this time last year.

This is now typically the time of year that China turns to South America for supplies. If we see them continue to buy from the United States, expectations will rise that exports will increase. Weekly export sales were as expected at 16.9 million bushels.

The bean-corn ratio has expanded to 2.55, the highest level for this time of year since 2005.

Reports are surfacing of poor wheat stands being plowed up to make room for beans as well as intended cotton and corn acres moving to beans if fertilizer application hasn’t been done. The next official acreage report will be June 29.

OUTLOOK: Old crop soybeans managed to gain 2 3/4 cents this week to settle at $14.36 3/4 while the November contract lost 19 3/4 cents to close at $13.61 3/4 per bushel. Looking forward it will be a weather game and rumor watching for signs of how many acres will be switched to soybeans. ❖

inverses and firm basis suggests the market needs to do more work to attract bushels into the pipeline. Grower sales have been extremely slow with attention focused on fieldwork and prices are at levels that everyone has already seen.

OUTLOOK: Corn planters are going around the Midwest with a record 7 percent of the crop in as of April 8 compared to 3 percent planted on average.

Illinois had 17 percent of their acres planted with Minnesota and Iowa at 1 percent. The market is expecting about 15 percent of the crop to be planted

by April 15, well ahead of the 6 percent average for this week. Nearby demand and weather are the factors to watch for our next direction.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans consolidated this week after getting off to a rocky start in pre-report trading. The USDA report provided the fuel for beans to regain upside traction on a lower-than-expected carryout figure. This however was not enough to post gains in the November beans for the week and old crop beans were barely able to hold a small increase.

The U.S. soybean carryout for 2011-12 was cut to 250 million bushels from 275 million and compared to the estimate for 246 million bushels, according to the April 10 USDA report. Exports and crush each were increased 15 million bushels, seed was lowered 1 million and residual use declined by 4 million bushels.

THE LAND, APRIL 20, 2012

NYSTROM, from pg. 14 states. Larger expected supplies and competitive prices for wheat relative to corn suggest an increase in summer wheat feeding compared with last year. The quick start to corn planting this spring and more intended acres across the South raises the potential for a substantial increase in new crop corn use before the Sept. 1 start of the new marketing year.”

Huh? So now we’re trying to predict how many bushels of new crop corn will be used in this marketing year to keep the balance sheet viable?

Corn came under pressure prior to the report on a disappointing Good Friday non-farm payroll report of 120,000 jobs added versus 205,000 anticipated.

China had also reported a higher-than-anticipated consumer price index of 3.6 percent. Many markets were closed on Easter Monday.

Weekly export sales were excellent this week at an eight-week high of 37.8 million bushels. Mexico and unknown were the best buyers. China supposedly bought a test cargo of Ukrainian corn this week.

We’ll see how the quality measures up before expecting additional purchases.

Corn values are above delivery equivalent with strong basis levels at the Gulf. The May-July inverse has strengthened out to a 9-cent inverse. Increasing

Neher: There are limits to precision ment. Do the elevator managers really know, down to the last 10,000 acres how many acres have been planted? In field sampling, a fixed process and formula is used to determine the estimated yields. Again, humans gather the data by counting and measuring samples of plant population, ear size or pod count.

There are limits to the precision of the human effort to collect this data in a scientific, rational manner.

In an effort to look at this matter in a different manner, some have attempted to use satellite imagery and “green density” mapping to determine acres planted and yield estimates. This methodology is still relatively new and its accuracy is still being refined. We seem to be looking for a “silver bullet” that will magically give us an edge in the marketplace.

These genuine efforts to find answers to our questions are a worthy cause, even if they are not perfect.

Until they become perfect, let us continue working to find the grain angles to help us manage our margins. ❖

NEHER, from pg. 14 said, with less than 5 percent of the U.S. crop being planted. It is common to “talk” our own position in the market. As humans, we want to find some rationalization for our emotions in relation to the marketplace.

My experience with the USDA research methodology is that they have a structured and disciplined process that they use to gather data. They use various research methods or models to gather and analyze the data. Many of these still rely on some human interaction or judgment. For example, the projected planted acres estimate relies on surveys with farmers. The crops have not been planted yet, so it relies on the farmer’s response or estimate. The accuracy of the report relies on a human estimate. It is impossible to see into the future with great accuracy.

Later reports rely on surveys with elevator managers and field sampling. Again, it relies on a human involve-

lyze situations and scenarios that are more favorable for ACRE enrollment for 2012, as well as situations where the best option may be continuing with the traditional DCP farm program.

Table 2 shows the 2012 estimated national average price needed (Sept. 1, 2012 to Aug. 31, 2013) to reach the threshold for ACRE payments for the 2012 crop year for corn and soybeans, at average statewide yield, 10 percent yield decrease, and a 10 percent yield increase.

Even though the ACRE program did not pay out in 2009 and 2010 for corn and soybeans in Minnesota, and will likely not result in an ACRE payment in 2011, producers should not automatically “write-off” ACRE program enrollment for the 2012 crop year.

The likely increase in the ACRE price guarantees for 2012 will lead to higher revenue guarantees for the 2012 ACRE program. This increases the likelihood of ACRE payments for the 2012 crop year for corn and soybeans, as compared to previous years.

However, the limitation of the 10 percent increase in the revenue guarantee for corn severely inhibits the likelihood of an ACRE payment for corn from the 2012 crop year. Current 2012 new crop corn prices for 2012 have been slightly above $5/bu. for corn, and above $13/bu. for soybeans.

The 12-month national average prices (Sept. 1, 2012 to Aug. 31, 2013) would have to be considerably lower than those price levels to earn an ACRE payment on 2012 corn and soybeans.

before ACRE payments will be made: one based on actual state revenue for a given crop in a particular year; and the other based on actual farm-level revenue for that crop in the same year. In order for a producer to receive a payment under the ACRE program, the “actual revenue” for both the state and farm-level must be lower than the corresponding established revenue guarantees for a given year. The actual revenue is based on the actual 12-month average price (Sept. 1 to Aug. 31 for corn and soybeans) for a crop in the year of production, times the actual state average yield, and actual farm yield, respectively. If both “revenue triggers” are reached, the ACRE payment will be made for that crop on that FSA farm number for the given year.

Calculating ACRE payments ACRE program payments will be the higher of difference between the state guarantee and the actual state revenue, times 83.3 percent (0.833), times the producer adjustment. The total ACRE payment cannot exceed 25 percent of the state revenue guarantee for a given crop. The ACRE payment will be paid on 85 percent of crop base acres (same as for direct payments) for 2012.

The final ACRE payment to eligible producers can be adjusted upward, based on farm-level yields.

(Example: Farm-level yield guarantee of 178 bu./acre, state yield guarantee of 166 bu./acre, would result in the ACRE payment being factored upward by 7 percent (x 1.07).

ACRE decision summary for 2012 Remember that farm owners and operators have until June 1 to finalize their decision on enrollment in the ACRE program for 2011. ACRE enrollment does require a signature from landlords on cash rental farm units. Producers are encouraged to ana-

PROGRAMS, from pg. 18 the three remaining yields being averaged.

(Example for Minnesota: Corn yields of 146, 164, 174, 177 and 156 with the 177 and 146 being dropped, and a resulting average yield of 165 bu./acre, which is 1 bushel lower than 2011.) The average state yields for a given year are based on the NASS. The farm-level yield guarantee will be the “Olympic average” actual or “proven” farm yield for the past five years (2007-11), with the highest and lowest yield being dropped, and the three remaining yields being averaged. For each year that the program crop was not raised (2007-11), or that the yield cannot be proven, a “Plug Yield” equal to 95 percent of the county average yield (from NASS) will be used.

(Example: County average corn yield of 170 bu./acre x 0.95 = 161.5 bu./acre) Revenue guarantees with ACRE State revenue guarantee = “Olympic average” state yield x 2-year average price x 0.90 (Soybean example, 2012: 40 bu./acre x $11.65/bu. x 0.90 = $419.40/acre ) Farm-level guarantee = Average farm yield x 2year average price + 2012 crop insurance premium (Corn example, 2012: 178 bu./acre x $5.69/bu. + $25/acre = $1,037.82/acre) Maximum revenue guarantees with ACRE Both state and farm level guarantees are recalculated each year, based on changing average yields and prices.

ACRE revenue guarantees cannot vary up or down by more than 10 percent from one year to the next. In Minnesota, this will result in a corn revenue guarantee of $688.74 for 2012, rather than the estimated calculated revenue guarantee of $844.97 per acre.

Lower crude protein with no production impact

23 THE LAND, APRIL 20, 2012 << MILKER’S MESSAGE >>

Many of our dairy herds have the potential to lower ration crude protein levels by at least 0.5 to 1.0 unit without impacting herd milk production, according to Larry E. Chase, professor and Extension specialist in the Department of Animal Science at Cornell University. Significant economic and environmental impacts can accompany these changes.

Dairy producers are realizing two incentives for lowering ration crude protein levels. One is to improve profitability by more efficiently converting feed nitrogen intake to milk nitrogen output while maintaining or improving milk production. Income over feed cost increases along with income over purchased feed costs as purchased feed costs decrease.

Secondly, feeding rations with lower crude protein decreases the excretion of nitrogen into the environment and lowers ammonia emissions. Consequently, the number of acres needed for land application of manure decreases. When ammonia emission regulations are implemented, the lower animal ammonia emissions will be beneficial.

A limited number of commercial dairy farms have already made the step to feeding lower crude protein rations, Chase said. With these farms, limited opportunity may exist to further lower ration crude protein. These dairies, however, demonstrate that lower crude protein rations can be used in herds while maintaining high levels of milk production.

The National Dairy Herd Information Association Scholarship Committee selected 21 high school seniors and college students as recipients of $750 scholarships.

Judges evaluated applicants on scholastic achievements, leadership in school and community activities and responses to DHI- and career-related questions. To be eligible for a National DHIA scholarship, applicants must be a family member or employee of a herd on DHI test, a family member of a DHI employee, or an employee of a DHI affiliate. The DHI affiliate for the herd or affiliate employee must be a National DHIA member.

Among this year’s National DHIA scholarship winners are Nathan Daninger, Forest Lake, Minn.; Rebecca Groos, Howard Lake, Minn.; Thomas Harren, Eagle Bend, Minn.; Chelsey Johnson, Heron Lake, Minn.; Kathleen Miron, Hugo, Minn.; Sara Roerick, Swanville, Minn.; Alyson Schwartau, Red Wing, Minn.; Justin Siewert, Lake City, Minn.; Jacob Sjostrom, Lafayette, Minn.; Joe Uter, Waverly, Minn.; Megan Viland, Pipestone, Minn.; Nicholas Weber, Bernard, Iowa; and Kaylee Wegner, Faribault, Minn.

This year marks the fourth consecutive year for awarding a scholarship in memory of Joe Drexler, who worked for NorthStar Cooperative DHI Services. NorthStar members and employees, friends and family contributed nearly $10,000 to establish this scholarship fund.

National DHIA, a trade association for the dairy records industry, serves the best interests of its members and the dairy industry by maintaining the integrity of dairy records and advancing dairy information systems. ❖

Galen: Legislation would ‘dramatically revamp’ dairy policy across the country.

FC Stone’s April 12 eDairy Executive Morning Edition reported that the USDA’s weekly stocks data shows butter inventories are building and increased 5.7 percent after dropping 11.5 percent the previous week. The build in butter stocks is the first in a month and were 1.9 percent above a year ago. “The fundamentals for butter point lower,” warns the eDairy report.

Cash powder took a dip this week, both losing 7.5 cents. Grade A slipped to $1.1925 and Extra Grade closed at $1.1825. AMS nonfat dry milk averaged $1.2605, down 1.4 cents, but dry whey averaged 61.33 cents, up 1.9 cents.

Milk supplies continue to remain heavy across the United States, says the USDA. Earlier than expected large volumes of milk are impacting processing plants in most regions. Florida may be past its peak flush due to warm humid weather moving into the region.

Elsewhere, volumes are said to be heavy. Class I demand is spotty as schools finish up spring break schedules. Auxiliary manufacturing plants are handling some excess supplies.

Cream is readily available, especially late in the week as some Class II plants took the Easter weekend off.

Cheese plants are operating at heavy schedules, with butter/powder plants handling excess offerings, although at some discounts.

■ Cooperatives Working Together accepted 14 requests for export assistance the week of April 9. A total of 3.741 million pounds of Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese and 4.063 million pounds of butter will go to customers in Asia, the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa. The product will be delivered through October and raised CWT’s 2012 cheese exports to 41.6 million pounds plus 37.4 million pounds of butter.

■ Checking the feed front, Dairy Profit Weekly reports that, with the numbers digested from the March 30 Prospective Plantings report, further analysis of potential 2012 crops and prices is under way.

The projected 2011-12 U.S. seasonaverage soybean price was raised to $12 to $12.50/bu., up 25 cents on the midrange forecast from last month. That compares to $11.30/bu. in 2010-11 and $9.59 in 2009-10. Soybean meal prices were forecast at $335 to $355 per ton, up $20 on the mid-range. That compares to $345.50/ton in 2010-11 and $311.25 in 2009-10, according to the DPW. ■ In politics, the Senate agriculture committee may begin work on the new farm bill the week of April 16 and there’s a lot at stake for dairy farmers, according to the National Milk Producers Federation’s Chris Galen in Thursday’s DairyLine.

He called on dairy farmers to contact their senators to voice support for the Dairy Security Act, championed the last three years by the NMPF, that would “dramatically revamp dairy policy.”

Galen said their proposal would provide a better safety net for farmer’s equity but admitted it’s going to be an uphill battle to accomplish that in 2012. The process begins in the Senate, he said, and then the House. To facilitate farmer communication with lawmakers, log on to www.nmpf.org, Galen said, and click on the icon called “NMPF Dairy Great.”

■ The U.S. Food and Drug Administration this week issued guidelines designed to limit the use of some antimicrobial medicines in animal agriculture, while increasing veterinarian oversight requirements for their use.

DPW editor Dave Natzke talked about the key issues in Friday’s DairyLine.

Natzke said that, in some cases, antimicrobial drugs have been administered or mixed in feeds or water to ward off infections and diseases in meat- and milk-producing animals, protecting the safety of the nation’s food supply, while enhancing livestock growth and feed efficiency. Under this new FDA policy, Natzke said that all antimicrobial medicines approved for use in animal agriculture will be used only for therapeutic purposes, such as disease treatment, control and prevention, and only under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian.

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.

‘Peace’ of history he town of Sleepy Eye has long honored its namesake, Sisseton T Dakota Chief Ish-Tak-Ha-Ba, or Chief Sleepy Eye. Now the descendants of Chief Sleepy Eye have honored the community by passing ownership of his peace pipe to the Sleepy Eye Area Historical Society. The peace pipe was donated by Karyn Cissell, fulfilling the wish of her grandfather, Lazareth Adams. Adams, a grandchild of Chief Sleepy Eye, wanted the pipe returned to the city when there was no longer a descendant of his to whom it could be passed on.

According to Debbie Joramo, director of the Historical Society’s Depot Museum, the peace pipe said to have been Chief Sleepy Eye’s had been in the town’s library but disappeared after the town’s 1972 centennial celebration. How Adams received the peace pipe and from whom has never been revealed. It’s all a bit of a mystery. So is the peace pipe authentic?

“It matches a peace pipe that Chief Sleepy Eye holds in a photo,” Joramo said. “The museum makes no claims other than that it came from a second generation grandchild of the chief.”

The area around the town of Sleepy Eye once belonged to Chief Sleepy Eye. He came there seasonally to winter around the lake.

After a treaty forced him from his Nicollet County home, he had settled there for a while. Around 1860, when he was about 80 years old and visiting friends in South Dakota, he died from injuries sustained in a fall from a horse and was buried in South Dakota.

In 1902 the citizens of Sleepy Eye dedicated a park to their namesake next to the train depot. At their request, the chief’s remains were located and returned to Sleepy Eye to be buried beneath a 50-foot tall obelisk in the park. In 1990 the Sleepy Eye Area Historical Society took over the depot for use as a museum.

The town further honored their namesake in 1994 with an eight-foot statue in his true likeness. It was sculpted by JoAnne Bird, a member of the Wahpeton-Sisseton band of Lakota (Sioux), the same band as Chief Sleepy Eye. Chief Ish-Tak-Ha-Ba’s resting place for 110 years has been the community that adopted his name — Sleepy Eye. With a monument to his memory, a statue of his likeness and now what is considered to have been his peace pipe, the ties between the chief and the community bearing his name are stronger than ever.

The statue stands next to the Post Office, just north of Highway 14 on First Avenue. The monument and Depot Museum are across the intersection to the northwest. The Depot museum is open from May 1 to Dec. 15, Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Their website is sleepyeyeareahistoricalsociety.art.officelive.com. ❖
