David Kohl talks “the wild world of When global economics” everyone listens. A retired 25-year veteran of ag finance and small business mangement, Kohl said global economics the past decade has positioned agriculture and ag lending with many opportunities. On the flip side, it has also created risks and more opportunities to fail. “The stakes are high today. Agriculture has become extremely capital intensive. The rewards have been and continue to be potentially great, and exciting. But with greater rewards come greater risks,” Kohl said. He indicated the Return on Assets for America’s top 20 percent of producers has been greater than 10 percent for the last 15 years. But are there some “black swans” lurking out there? Agriculture has Oil and Middle East become extremely unrest is the biggest capital intensive. black swan.

BRICS ahead What’s ahead? “BRICS” is the nomenclature and it represents the emerging nations of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. Currently these five countries represent 20 percent of the world economy but 50 percent of world growth into the next decade. Ten years back China ranked seventh in the world’s economy; today China is second. Brazil went from 14th to sixth. “Food, fuel and fiber are what these emerging nations demand. And the market goes to whomever can be the most competitive supplier. That continues to be the United States. China continues at an amazing 8 percent growth rate. If/when that drops to 5 percent, the market price of U.S. farm commodities takes a beating. If growth drops to 3 percent, then $3 corn, $6 beans and $50 oil are very likely,” Kohl said.

Commentary: Agriculture brings out bipartisan approach The 2012 legislative session will go down in history as the Vikings stadium session, but you may be surprised to know how much got done in St. Paul when it comes to farm and food issues. At the end of April, Gov. Mark Dayton signed into law the 2012 Omnibus Agriculture Policy bill. The legislation, which received broad bipartisan support, streamlined and modernized statutes covering food safety enforcement, grain trade and renewable fuels. Among other things, the bill updated the statutory language governing the Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s Dairy and Food Inspection Division by consolidating enforcement provisions and creating

one chapter that clearly described the enforcement options for food product categories overseen by the MDA. The bill also updated state grain statutes for the 21st century, repealing nearly 150 statutes and rules while modernizing the remaining statutes to reflect today’s marketplace. Language was changed to eliminate multiple reporting requirements, eliminate multiple bond types and streamline licensing processes. Another section of the bill fine-tuned the course of biofuels in Minnesota by extending Minnesota’s E20 mandate for two years and directing agencies to

develop recommendations for incorporating biofuels other than ethanol into the mandate. The bill also extended exceptions onto the state’s biodiesel requirement for three more years, while directing the MDA to develop proposals for evaluating the exceptions with an eye toward ending them. I was pleased that the omnibus ag bill also made two smart investments in the future of Minnesota agriculture. First, the bill extended the Agricultural Growth, Research and Innovation funding to June 2015. This AGRI fund was created in 2009 as the state’s ethanol payments were winding down, and the program goal is to promote the advancement of the state’s agricultural and renewable energy industries. The second wise investment the bill makes is the creation of a Dairy Research, Teaching and Consumer Education Authority. This public-private entity was proposed by the Minnesota Milk Producers Association to raise money from the private sector to invigorate our dairy sector. The state made an additional investment in agriculture during the session’s

closing days, when Gov. Dayton and lawmakers agreed to a bonding bill that included $33 million for the Rural Finance Authority. This money will be used to help local ag lenders make credit available to beginning farmers as well as established farmers looking to make onfarm improvements to boost productivity, profitability and conservation. It’s easy to be jaded about government and politics these days, but we can be proud that agriculture remains an area of public policy where both parties can work together. A big portion of the credit for this goes to the chairs of the House and Senate agriculture committees. That’s why I was sorry to see Senate ag committee Chair Doug Magnus retire. Magnus is a good friend who always did what he knew to be best for Minnesota farmers. I wish him the best in his retirement, and I will always be thankful for his partnership and friendship. This commentary was submitted by Minnesota Department of Agriculture Commissioner Dave Frederickson. ❖

Was it hedging — or naked and raw speculation?

OPINION

“trades” the report and establishes a more-firm view of price. Worse yet, none of this is about making markets more efficient or price discovery more transparent. Indeed, the hours of the Chicago ag markets were expanded as a competitive response to the threat of another commodity exchange, the Intercontinental (which loves to be known as the ICE; get it, ICE?), that announced in April it would begin trading ags in May. So, less than four years and nearly $500 billion of taxpayer money to save the banking system from the bankers, six months after MF Global torched commodity markets, farmers and ranchers for $1.5 billion in an implosive bankruptcy and a month after Morgan admitted it fell into a black hole of its own making, commodity markets are now offering “unparalleled liquidity, depth and product choice.” Gee, I wonder how that’s going to turn out.

The expanded hours, explains the CME, will give market “customers ... greater access to the unparalleled liquidity, depth and product choice of CBOT,” the old Chicago Board of Trade, “Grain, oilseed and ethanol futures and options markets ...” It also will give farmers and ranchers unparalleled heartburn on days when key U.S. Department of Agriculture acreage, production, storage and livestock reports are released because markets impacted by the reports will be trading as the numbers are made known. As such, the very markets that are meant to protect producers from being burned by volatility could become instant bonfires and — what’s wrong with this picture? — the government will be bringing the gasoline. Facing enormous risks on report days, country elevators, ethanol plants and other grain market participants are expected to either widen the basis, the gap, between futures and cash prices to limit market exposure or just stop buying grain until the market

‘97 Orchard’ shares big city immigrants’ edible history By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent “97 Orchard” was the address of a real New York City tenement, filled with the bodies and dreams of immigrants from an astounding variety of places over the T h e J o h n s o n c l a n ’s n e i g h b o r s g i v e course of its lifetime. four out of four ‘yums’ to Author Jane ZiegelVe g e t a r i a n C h o p p e d L i v e r man, a Brooklynite who ( b e c a u s e t h e J o h n s o n c l a n c o u l d n ’t b e c o a x e d i n t o t ry i n g i t ) runs the city’s Tenement Museum, chose this building as the back- Jews, and finally, Italians.

housewives depended on the neighborhood cabbage shaver, who carried a mandolin-like tool from door to door, shaving cabbage into threads for a penny a head. The cabbage was then put in a barrel with brine and tended religiously until it was ready to eat. Sauerkraut making was a stinky but beloved chore in those days. The first taste of a new batch of kraut was occasion for joy and thankfulness. A popular street figure was once the “sauerkraut man,” a walking version of today’s hot-dog cart who offered hot sausages with (of course) kraut and potato salad from a large, metallic, strapon box. Eventually companies like Heinz started commercially producing sauerkraut, and the days of shaving and brining cabbage at home came to an end. ■ Simmering sauerkraut in wine and peppercorns tenderizes and sweetens this simple cabbage concoction called Boiled Sauerkraut. It pairs nicely with mashed potatoes and lots of good summer foods like grilled brats, steaks or pork chops. Boiled Sauerkraut Bring to a boil one cup water and one cup white wine. Add the sauerkraut, roughly 3 cups, a few peppercorns and a little salt. Simmer until tender. Shortly before serving, pour off the broth and stir in a few tablespoons butter. Serve as a side dish alongside mashed potatoes. ■ The German Jewish Gumpertz family was the model family of another section, filled with reminisces of kosher kitchens similar to, but also different from, the Lithuanian Jews like the Rogarshevskys, who fled Europe’s devastating poverty and anti-Semitism. They remembered Ellis Island mostly as a place of wondrous foods served in mountainous proportions. In the 1940s, health-conscious New Yorkers flocked to what were called “dairy restaurants,” which served all sorts of fancy dishes with meat substitutes, including a wide variety of traditional Jewish foods like faux chopped liver and chicken giblets. Here is a classic recipe from that era; surprisingly, the “liver” flavor comes from the mashed peas. It’s delicious if you like things like pate or braunschweiger, which meant I had to go outside my family to find reliable taste testers. Four out of four “yums” from the Johnson neighbors. Vegetarian Chopped Liver 3 medium-sized onions, chopped 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 large can sweet peas, drained 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped Sauté the onion in the oil until they are soft and golden. Mash peas with the back

of a fork. Combine onion and peas with remaining ingredients and chop by hand until you have the desired consistency. If you like, you can use a food processor, but be careful not to over-process. Season with salt and a generous dose of freshly ground black pepper. ■ The final immigrant group at 97 Orchard was the Italians, represented by the Baldizzi family. Italian cookery is uberfamiliar to most Americans today, and it’s because these immigrants flat-out refused to give up their garlic, tomato sauce and pastas. I personally want to thank them for their stubbornness. Fine desserts, too, were on the menu, such as this almond brittle that’s got just a hint of lemon. Croccante (Almond Brittle) 3 cups blanched sliced almonds 2 cups sugar 1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 lemon, cut in half Preheat oven to 400 F. Liberally grease a baking tray with the vegetable oil and set aside. Spread almonds on a second tray and toast in hot oven, until golden, about 5 minutes. Heat sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and cook until sugar has completely melted. Add almonds and stir. Pour hot mixture onto greased baking tray, using the cut side of the lemon to spread evenly. Allow to cool and break into pieces. ■ Even though the Irish were the second immigrant group to move into 97 Orchard, I saved them for last in this review because their story seems particularly sad. Having survived starvation conditions for generations, the Irish immigrants did not possess many culinary skills or old family recipes. If hired as kitchen help — and many were — the Irish domestics had to be taught from the ground up. In Ireland they had used outdoor peat fires to cook on, and knew few techniques beyond boiling, so their education included the use of stoves and the preparation of everything besides potatoes and oatmeal. The point being: You can’t have a great culinary tradition if there’s nothing to eat. This book leaves your mind as well as your mouth with something to chew on.

Kohl: Midwest still riding economic tailwinds GLOBAL, from pg. 1 He’s not bashful telling his audience that the economic growth of BRICS is primarily what’s fueling the unprecedented richness of American agriculture. He reminded that some think the U.S. economy is faltering. “But do you realize that in just one hour America generates more economic productivity (dollars), than 25 percent of the world’s countries generate in an entire year!” The United States today has a $15 trillion economy; China, the second biggest economy in the world is at $6

Global water shortages, quality issues are inevitable We have the land resources but water may be the critical variable. Through ongoing seed technology, we’ll have crops producing more with less water. — David Kohl

He also sees Africa, especially South Africa, as becoming a much larger food resource but he cautions that it takes 30 to 40 years to iron out the political and cultural issues and build the infrastructure to get a sustainable agriculture in place. Now retired, for 25 years Kohl was professor of agricultural finance and small business management and entrepreneurship in the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va. He has traveled over 8 million miles and conducted more than 6,000 workshops and seminars for agricultural groups. He has received 11 major teaching awards from Virginia Tech, Cornell University and other state and national organizations. He received the governor’s award for distinguished service to Virginia agriculture. He is also business coach and part owner of Homestead Creamery, a value-added dairy business in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Kohl spoke to 420 agricultural students of Ridgewater Community College, Willmar, Minn., plus several area farmers and agricultural finance people at the Kandi Entertainment Center in Willmar on March 1. ❖

“Lenders are under tremendous compliance these days. They’re becoming more restrictive on farm real estate loans simply because the risk is so much higher, especially after the debacle in the housing industry.” Your business plan should detail your vision, both long-term (three to five years) and short-term (one year or less). Include your operational plan, in essence what to do to make it work. List your marketing strategies, and your risk management plan (crop insurance, etc.). If Plan A doesn’t work, what is your Plan B. Conclude with a transition plan that involves every member of your family. Agriculture is hugely challenging but handsomely rewarding if the right

choices are made at the right times. “Understand that you are farming in a world of technology convergence. But very definitely one size does not fit all. Transition is a continuous happening. About 60 percent of all farmland turns over the next 20 years. Enjoy the fact that you are making a difference by feeding the world. And never forget that the best crop you raise is your children,” Kohl said. Water, technology are key Can world agriculture double production to feed 9-plus billion people by 2050? He thinks a much more aggressive use of technology, especially in many parts of the world where technology has yet to make an imprint, will increase world food production. “Yes, the United States will still be the major player but the Southern Hemisphere of the world will also be a major player. We have the land resources but water may be the critical variable. Through ongoing seed technology, we’ll have crops producing more with less water. But I think water shortages and water quality issues are inevitable,” Kohl said. He considers Canada as a major ally to United States if water shortages become critical issues. He said Canada is only 1

GLOBAL, from pg. 8 of fits the explosion in farmland today. I think we’ll see many hot family issues the next 10 years in the Upper Midwest mostly triggered by the prosperity of agriculture. Unless transition plans are in place there will be angry feelings about who gets what, who takes care of the old parents, what’s a fair rental rate when some family member rents the home farm, etc.” His advice to older farmers is simply phase down slowly but keep the motor running. He cited Joe Paterno, the long-time Penn State football coach who recently died just a couple months after being dismissed as head coach. By all means have a transition plan in place, more important now than ever before simply because of the tremendous capitalization of farmers today. “Today 21 percent of farm businesses don’t have a “next gen” member to transition into. But that also says a lot of farmland will continue into the marketplace year after year.” Kohl puts tremendous emphasis on having a written business plan reviewed annually or more often if needed, and definitely present your written business plan to your lender.

Younggren: Serving U.S. wheat growers an honor By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer The next farm bill should be “dependable and understandable, affordable and defensible to taxpayers, and direct payments should stay in Title 1 of the legislation.” Those are the thoughts of Erik Younggren of Hallock, Minn., Erik Younggren elected as the 50th president of the National Association of Wheat Growers at this year’s Commodity Classic in Nashville, Tenn. A graduate in finance from Minnesota State University, Moorhead, the 41-year-old Younggren now farms in a partnership with two cousins, producing wheat, sugar beets and soybeans. For a relatively young producer he already is knee-deep in experience in the wheat industry. Wheat industry veteran Prior to becoming a NAWG officer in 2009, Younggren represented the Minnesota Wheat Growers on the national association’s board, serving as a member of NAWG’s domestic and trade policy, operations and budget committees. He also participated in special committees examining crop insurance policy. He’s also had a special interest in the upcoming renovation of the Wheat Growers Building which is owned by the NAWG Foundation. Younggren is an alumnus of the wheat industry’s training programs, the Wheat Industry Leaders of Tomorrow, the Wheat Organization Leaders of the Future program and the Syngenta Leadership at Its Best program. He’s gotten to know Washington, D.C., well, so

much so that he’s lost track of his several visits to the nation’s capital. His answer to the No. 1 challenge going forward? “This year we need to get a new farm bill. Extending the current farm bill isn’t the answer because there are so many programs expiring this year that need to be renewed. Obviously there is a huge money problem which isn’t going to get any better. “Agriculture issues vary somewhat simply because of location. The guys down south are going through a huge drought. They’ve got (Actual Production History) problems so their insurance coverage is going down but premiums are staying the same. For wheat it seems what goes around comes around. My (March 12) testimony ... centered on the scab years in Minnesota and how both our APH and insurance coverage went down. The only way out of that situation is to have some really good years of production and good prices.” Younggren also sees research as a big topic. “Yes, we are getting more money into wheat research but are still very dependent on the public sector. Scab is still a problem; we’ve got rust issues. Those are big problems which need long-term money for researching yet budgets appear to be getting cut.” Wheat, corn gaining acres There were about 6 million acres of prevent planting in North Dakota last year. What crop mostly captures those acres in 2012? Younggren said wheat will gain some of those acres; also prevent planted acres in Texas got some wheat. He speculates some expiring Conservation Reserve Program contracts will get wheat, at least initially. However in the eastern states, which normally do quite a little winter wheat, too much moisture last fall curtailed wheat acres which likely will be corn this year. Because of the strong pricing on corn, corn likely will pick up many western crop acres that normally would have gone to wheat. U.S. Department of Agriculture projections indicated 56.6 million acres wheat and 95 million acres

corn with soybeans at 74.6 million acres. Preliminary Canadian data has 23.9 million acres wheat, up 23 percent from 2011 when extremely wet weather curtailed wheat seeding. Farm bill urgency Speculating on initial USDA budget figures, he thinks the $33 billion figure will be the starting point for Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and the Senate ag committee. But a more realistic figure of $23 billion is more likely, Younggren said, reinforcing the urgency of getting a new farm bill done this year. He acknowledges that the Title 1 Direct Payment program will take some cuts but emphasizes that agriculture needs a strong safety net, with the Federal Crop Insurance program being a better choice for most. This year Younggren and his cousins will have around 3,000 acres of wheat and about 1,300 acres of soybeans. Wheat grows well in his area but disease continues to be a challenge, and quality issues are a constant. Younggren has served as a member of his church’s Board of Deacons, on the board of his county economic development committee and is also on a local curling club. In his spare time, he also assisted in the startup of a high-speed internet service for their immediate area. “Like many things in my life I just started asking questions, and my question was simply ‘why not internet broadband service?’ Our phone service was inadequate to handle this additional task. However we have some smart partners and these guys figured out how to go wireless by positioning antennas on the several elevators in our area.” He and his wife, Angela, who runs a pet grooming and kennel business, have a 15-month-old daughter, Annika. “Serving the nation’s wheat growers is an honor and privilege. Active participation on the national level is more important than ever before,” Younggren said. ❖

Researchers always finding new uses for old products content of rice. Not yet ready for public sharing are BASF breeding programs designed to enhance the pharmaceutical values of corn. However recently launched into the European market are GMOenriched starch potatoes. BASF researchers modified this particular seed potato by making it an amyl pectin starch type, better suited for usage within the paper industry. Nature Works LLC, a Minnetonka, Minn.,-based firm specializing in the production of Ingeo polymer, a plastic made from plants (corn dextrose currently the primary feedstock), just announced the future construction in Asia of its second manufacturing facility. It currently manufactures in Blair, Neb. Marketing Director Steve Davies said making Ingeo is an entirely new and innovative process. “Our technology is found nowhere else in the world and provides an eco-friendly option.

We’re in the business of turning greenhouse gases, namely CO2, in to performance plastics.” He describes the process as fermenting the plant’s sugars to make lactic acid. Next they polymerize the acid into a performance plastic called Ingeo. And this new crop usage poses no threat to future food issues. At full capacity, their Nebraska plant uses less than 1/20th of 1 percent of the available global corn crop. Multiple feed stocks and multiple plant locations are the business plan of this ambitious new venture making plastics from plants rather than petroleum products. Products made from Ingeo polymer include apparel, bottles, cards, film, cartons, food packaging materials and the list keeps expanding as petroleum prices keep driving up the cost of traditional plastics. ❖

ity for usage in corn chips. “We do a lot of work with Frito Lay, Cargill and other people that do food processing. As consumer needs evolve we’re trying to do things to make certain our products meet these new criteria,” Petersen said. Forthcoming is a calcium oxide product produced by Monsanto which when added to corn stover and/or distiller’s coproduct creates a chemical reaction which substantially improves the nutritional value of this residue feedstock. “It changes the carbohydrate structure within the stover to produce significantly higher digestibility,” Petersen said, indicating this is a joint project with Archer Daniels Midland and John Deere. As corn yields increase, residue problems also increase. “So if farmers could harvest a sustainable portion of this stover to replace a portion of the corn in the cattle diet, we think this potentially does several good things for the life cycle of corn, plus further enriching the ‘wet mash’ and/or DDGs of the ethanol industry,” Petersen said. In simple terms, this is Monsanto’s efforts to turn corn stover from a byproduct into a coproduct and in the process lessen the “residue issue” that trait-protected 200-plus bushel corn is leaving in Corn Belt fields. As the seed industry moves into second and third generation traits, Petersen said newer traits would have much broader impact. For example Drought Tolerant 2 will touch more bases than Drought Tolerant 1. He also suggested future corn traits will likely be more specific for soils and climates. Todd Frank, BASF corn breeder at Olivia, Minn., said improved germplasm always continues as the major objective in the seed industry. “However more nutrient-rich hybrids also are in our breeding pipeline. We’re doing this by improving the amino acid profiles. And we’re concerned about environmental issues which is why we’re also concentrating on low-phytate hybrids,” Frank said. Low-phytate corn means lower phosphorous content which in turn means less phosphorous in hog manure. “The objective here is simply to lessen phosphorous runoff from manured fields into tile lines and drainage ditches. We label this as our ‘cleaner manure/cleaner water’ campaign,” Frank said. He also mentioned a major rice breeding effort of BASF Plant Science centered on improving the Vitamin A

THE LAND, JUNE 1, 2012

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Agricultural research scientists sometimes live in a jungle, seldom knowing exactly what will hatch as they tinker with seed stocks of various feed grains. Here’s excerpts from a few interviewed this past year. Gordon Selling with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service in Peoria, Ill., speaks matter of fact, “A kernel of corn needs to be looked at in the same fashion as a barrel of crude oil. To maximize profits, oil companies use every bit of oil they extract. Similarly, every bit of material present in a kernel of corn needs to be utilized to maximize revenue for the various businesses in the corn product stream.” A kernel of corn has four main products: corn starch (used in bio-ethanol production), corn oil, corn protein and corn fiber. These in turn can be subdivided into smaller parts, each with unique market values. Selling and his ARS team deal mainly with corn protein which subdivides into two broad types — the corn germ proteins and the endosperm proteins. The corn germ proteins have value as a component in adhesives, such as plywood glue. With additional research, future formulations could mean stronger glues and use less non-renewable materials. The main endosperm protein is zein, historically used in the production of textile fibers and coatings. However the zein was cross-linked with formaldehyde, a suspected carcinogen. New research has identified reagents that appear to be safer than formaldehyde and provide products with superior properties. Thanks to new extrusion techniques, the number of companies that could utilize zein to produce products that can replace petroleum-based materials increases dramatically. Research breakthroughs always make news in the seed industry even though the business plan hinges on continually improving germplasm. For example Steve Petersen, end-use product manager for Monsanto, said Monsanto breeds corn for three purposes: yield, yield and yield. “But we screen many things from these very intensive research and development efforts such as our food-grade corns, our waxy corns and our specialty products,” he said. That screening process has already produced corns with better adaptabil-

Taming of the screwworms among USDA’s legacy The only thing that stands between the United States and an invasion of cattle-killing screwworms is a daily flight of airplanes flooding a 100-milewide section of the Isthmus of Panama with male screwworm flies raised in a laboratory and sterilized with radiation in Panama. The screwworm infestations of the past would probably come back if the releases stopped for a couple of months or so, said Dan Strickman, Agricultural Research Service national program leader for veterinary and medical entomology. “This is a great example of agricultural research changing the history of this country, and it’s a cutting-edge example of integrated pest management,” Strickman said. This year marks the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 150th anniversary, making it a particularly appropriate time to look at this and other examples of history in the making. The screwworm was wiped out of the United States by 1966 and Mexico by 1991. The purging continued south to include Central America until the “barrier” reached across the entire narrow Isthmus of Panama, and the screwworm was declared eradicated from Central and North America. Before the USDA eradicated the species from the United States, the screwworm — larvae of which eat living tissue of people and other animals — had plagued the Southwest, all of Florida, and parts of Georgia. In 1937, the late Edward F. Knipling, then at a USDA laboratory in Menard, Texas, got the idea of flooding areas with sexually sterilized male screwworm flies. He believed that by releasing large numbers of sterile male flies, they would mate with nonsterile female screwworm flies and that the

Flesh-eating screwworms once plagued some southern U.S. states but have been eliminated from and kept out of the country because of continuing efforts of USDA scientists. resulting “unsuccessful” mating would decrease the population over time, driving the flies to extinction. When Knipling came up with the idea, there was no known way of sterilizing the male flies. Then one day he read an article by the Nobel Prize-winning geneticist Hermann Joseph Muller in Scientific American showing that X-rays sterilized male fruit flies without interfering with their normal functions. Knipling wrote to Muller to see whether X-rays could be used to sterilize screwworm flies. Muller wrote back

immediately, indicating his interest in the idea. That exchange — and subsequent experiments demonstrating that the idea worked, including research by colleague Raymond Bushland showing that sterile male screwworms could be raised in a laboratory and function normally after release, including mating with nonsterile females — led to the historic screwworm eradication program. The sterile insect technique has been used to eradicate screwworms elsewhere, including north Africa — where they were accidentally introduced — in the 1990s and most recently from Aruba. The technique has proved useful in controlling other pests as well, such as the Mediterranean fruit fly and the tsetse fly. USDA screwworm research began under the auspices of the department’s Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, which was transferred to the Agricultural Research Administration (which became the Agricultural Research Service by the end of 1953). The laboratory at Menard was incorporated into the U.S. Livestock Insect Laboratory in 1946, which, in 1988, was renamed the Knipling-Bushland U.S. Livestock Insects Research Laboratory in honor of the two pioneering scientists. The facility, located in Kerrville, Texas, works on cattle fever ticks, horn flies, stable flies and other livestock pests. Live screwworms are not allowed in the United States, however, so the lab can only work with DNA from the screwworm. The live-screwworm work is performed at the Screwworm Research Unit in Pacora, Panama, the site of a huge factory that produces sterile males for release. The Kerrville lab continues to research effective, less expensive methods to control insect pests of livestock. Keeping soil where it belongs Another example of USDA research changing history occurred in 1938, when the USDA Soil Conservation Service — now the Natural Resources Conservation Service — and the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station created a laboratory in Bushland, Texas, in the wake of a dramatic wind erosion event. Poor agricultural practices for years, coupled with severe drought, left the soil of extensive U.S. farmland exposed. The result was a multiyear period of severe dust storms in the 1930s. Known as the “Dust Bowl,” it was characterized by thick, black clouds of dirt and dust stretching across several states and millions of acres. The Bushland lab’s charge was to prevent the intolerable conditions of another potential Dust Bowl and to minimize wind erosion, working with other state experiment stations — such as those in Kansas and Ohio — and other USDA labs. They developed stubble mulch tillage, leaving the residue of harvested crops on the land over winter to keep soil from blowing away and to save precious soil moisture. This was the forerunner of the highly successful practice of no-till and other forms of conservation tillage that drastically reduced erosion, whether by wind, rain or snowmelt. ARS research was spurred further by the drought of the 1950s. At the time, there were limitations to stubble mulch, mainly lower yields, so ARS set out to overcome those limitations and, in time, succeeded in making conservation tillage an NRCS-recommended “best practice.” ARS Bushland scientists continue conservation

past decade by ARS researchers at Clay Center, Neb., and their colleagues. These scientists have been sequencing genes to find those that can be used as markers for serotypes of escherichia coli that produce shiga toxin. Through this work, they have worked with industry partners to develop assays for shiga toxin-producing E. coli, including E. coli O157:H7, which causes foodborne illness. This food safety program traces back to earlier research: A USDA chemist in 1882 was one of the first to analyze the bacterium that causes tuberculosis. USDA scientists over the years also showed the value of pasteurizing milk and determined the cooking temperature needed to kill the pathogen that causes trichinosis.

Considerable concern raised by Southern leaders will work out differences in the two versions of the new farm bill, before it is passed and ultimately goes to the president for final approval. The current farm bill expires at the end of the current federal fiscal year on Sept. 30, and the 2012 crop year is the final year covered by the current farm bill. There will likely be many changes and adjustments made before a new farm bill is finalized, and that may not occur until Congress convenes in 2013. However, it appears likely that the newly proposed ARC program, or something similar, is likely to replace direct payments, ACRE and SURE for eligible program crops for the 2013 crop year and beyond.

Most farm organizations and commodity groups support maintaining a strong Federal Crop Insurance program, with some level of premium subsidization by the federal government. The proposed ARC program, along with the potential SCO, appear to meet many of those farm bill objectives. However, a considerable amount of concern has been raised by Southern farm leaders and members of Congress that the proposed programs in the new farm bill do not treat crops like peanuts and rice fairly. Those two crops were major benefactors of the current direct payments, and the target price program. The proposal passed by the U.S. Senate agriculture committee is the first step in writing a new farm bill. That proposal now goes to the full Senate floor for debate, possible adjustments and potentially for approval. The U.S. House will then pass their version of a new farm bill, which may or may not be similar to the Senate version. Then a conference committee

CME trading hours expand

A recovery has begun

Not a market for faint-of-heart

The following market analysis is for the week ending May 25. CORN — What corn gained last week, it more than gave back this week in our first week of expanded trading hours. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s new trading hours are from 5 p.m. Central Time to 2 p.m. Sunday through Friday (no trading 2-5 p.m.). Pit trading hours did not change, with the exception of report days when it will open at 7:20 a.m. CT. Settlement prices are based on the close of pit trading at 1:15 p.m. for the CME contracts, for the time being. A new settlement procedure will take effect June 25 PHYLLIS NYSTROM which will incorporate pit and Country Hedging electronic volume weighted prices St. Paul from 1:14-1:15 p.m. CT. While the trade is talking about moving the pit close to 2 p.m., there has not been any announcement from the CME on that issue. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is expected to take comments soon on the possibility of releasing reports to “mid-session” of the trading day. Cash basis levels fell back this week on the export side as new sales were scarce, while local domestic basis values were mostly steady as country sales shrank with falling prices. Weather is gaining in importance. The western Corn Belt experienced decent rain, but the eastern Corn Belt is beginning to feel the pinch of dryness. When you add to the mix warm temperatures, a hint of doubt about recordsetting yields this year begins to take root. If postholiday weather brings rain, the threat will be nipped for the time being and prices will need to

May has started out with an improving outlook for livestock prices. After several months of weakness in both cattle and hogs, a recovery has begun with both pork and beef cutouts showing firmness on a seasonal basis. The cattle market rallied on the support from renewed buying interest in the beef products. The beef cutouts have rallied after taking a long slide in price over the past few months. The seasonal pattern seems to have taken hold as the barbecue season gets into full swing as we approach the Memorial Day weekend. The futures market which has JOE TEALE been the recipient of fund selling Broker over the past month or so, has Great Plains Commodity seen a reversal by the funds back Afton, Minn. to the long side in recent days. This action has taken the deep discount out of the futures and narrowed the basis over the past few weeks. On May 18, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released the Monthly Cattle on Feed Report. The findings were: On feed May 1, 99 percent; placed during April, 85 percent; and marketed in April, 100 percent. All were in comparison to year-ago levels. The report was seen as friendly to bullish as placements were smaller than anticipated. As a result, look for the basis of futures to cash to continue to narrow in the weeks ahead as the futures should find continued buying. The question is whether consumer demand will resist the higher cutouts and thus the higher beef prices at the retail level. If the economy stays in the

With news of a drought-stricken and winter-killed wheat crop in Russia, a short wheat crop in Australia and excessive heat on the U.S. Plains, the wheat prices have taken off to the upside. As wheat is competing with old crop corn in the feed rations, corn prices tagged along for the ride. With the expected record corn crop coming into the pipeline this fall, wheat may not be the driver for long. This window of opportunity may only last for the next six weeks. It is hard to believe, that the first of July which is a traditional summertime high, is just ahead. Many in the corn market are TOM NEHER starting to question the assump- AgStar VP & Team Leader tion of an average trendline yield — Grain Industry of 166 bushels per acre, given Rochester, Minn. that many of the expansion acres are in marginal growing areas. Obviously, it is too early to make any conclusions, yet the debate will rage on in the marketplace until we see more certain yield expectations. These market dynamics will make for a volatile basis environment as well as flat price. The unusually strong basis is reflective of the tightness in the local supply and demand. The fact that this crop was planted unusually early this year, suggests that harvest will likely begin much earlier than normal. This early harvest could drive the basis to tumble, sooner than usually occurs. The impact of an early harvest weakening the corn basis will make the marketing of the remainder of the old crop corn more volatile this year. Any old crop corn held un-priced after the first of July will be

For now look for further strength in the market as producers use the cattleon-feed information to their advantage. Producers should still remain skeptical of the long-term trend and protect inventories when the opportunity arises. The hog market has finally turned the corner after months of downward pressure. The main catalyst behind the recent rally has been the movement of pork product. It appears that retailers have decided that there is good value in pork versus the other meats. The

movement of pork products picked up as the cutout value dipped well below half the cutout value of beef. The recent cold storage report suggested that pork was moving out of storage at a far better rate than anticipated supporting the idea of the better value in pork. Despite the fact that hog prices have recovered fairly nice, there is still plenty of resistance at higher prices. With the dollar currently on the upswing, export business could falter a bit, but the overall outlook continues to look fairly positive. Producers should continue to monitor the market and protect inventories when those opportunities arise. ❖

NEHER, from pg. 18 priced off of the September futures contract. Currently the September contract is trading $0.89 under the July contract. New crop corn could start to enter the pipeline in August due to early planting and this will pressure the basis bids. All of this could occur in a short period of time. This will test the marketing management of the best merchandisers. The big unknown yet to be determined will be the weather and how it affects the growing crops this summer. This is always the case this time of year and is no different than years past. The difference this year is that ending stocks in corn are so tight, with little room for a yield reduction. Soon, the markets will react to the six- to 10-day forecasts that can change within the day. This is not a market for the “faint-of-heart.” As always, with

ahead of the Memorial Day weekend was apparent as the U.S. dollar strengthened and ongoing uncertainty in Europe’s financial circles lent support. If rain doesn’t develop in the first part of June, soybeans’ tight carryout projection may exaggerate price reaction to the upside. The Buenos Aires Cereals Exchange cut their soybean projection from 41 mmt to 39.9 mmt and compared to the USDA’s 42.5 mmt estimate. Weekly export sales were 29.4 million for old crop and 5.6 million of new crop bushels. Total old crop sales now surpass the total 2011-12 USDA projection of 1.315 billion bushels. With 14 weeks left in the marketing year we’ll be looking for the export line to increase on the June 12 crop production report. China’s total soybean imports for May at 7.23 mmt were over 2 mmt more than expectations. China was only able to sell a portion of the 600,000 mt of reserve beans they offered this week. They will offer a like amount next week. Outside influences also will continue to impact overall commodity moves. The U.S. dollar surged higher this week as the Greek financial situation remained unsettled and with new elections to be held there June 17. Will Greece remain in the European Union? OUTLOOK: Weather, weather, weather; ’Tis the season. New crop bean direction will hinge on whether the eastern Corn Belt conditions improve in the first half of June. Old crop beans will be dependent on on-going business, notably China. For the week, July soybeans were down 23 cents and November soybeans gained 1 1/2 cents. Basis levels have been fairly flat on all fronts, regardless of decent export sales. Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending May 25: Minneapolis wheat down 11 3/4 cents, Chicago off 15 1/4 and Kansas City a nickel lower. July crude oil at $90.86 was down 94 cents for the week, heating oil down 1/4 cent, gasoline up just over a penny and natural gas dropped 19 1/2 cents. As of mid-afternoon May 25, the U.S. dollar index was over a full point higher for the week, the Dow was up 73 points and gold was $19.60 lower at $1,572.30 per ounce. ❖

ported the December contract and nearby export basis softened. Domestic corn basis (ethanol plants) is steady, firm. Farmer selling has been extremely slow for the last two weeks. Any additional summer business could send this spread wider again. OUTLOOK: Declining cash basis levels, crummy export sales, and the possibility China could buy Argentina corn were behind this week’s spread collapse while weather uncertainty limited the fall of new crop prices. The first crop condition report of the year as of May 20 pegged the crop at 77 percent good/excellent, the third highest in the last 20 years. In the two years of better initial conditions, we saw one record yield year (1994), while the other year saw a yield decline of more than 2 percent below trendline (2007), telling us anything can happen. December corn is a $5 to $5.50 trading affair for now. For the week, July corn plummeted 57 cents and the December contract fell 15 1/2 cents. SOYBEANS — Old crop soybeans put in a mirror performance to last week’s action, this week plummeting lower early in the week only to find profit taking buying and good export sales bringing prices back from new lows for the move. New crop soybeans dove lower after soybean cancellations by China were rumored, but denied by China. Profit taking

NYSTROM, from pg. 18 find another reason to retrace losses; if rain is absent, the scene would be set for a rebound to the May highs. For the second week in a row, weekly corn export sales were a disappointment at 6.1 million bushels for old crop and 12.8 million bushels for new crop. Old crop sales were the second-lowest of the marketing year. Trade rumors about China canceling or rolling U.S. corn purchases circled the markets this week, but nothing has been announced or confirmed. This helped push buyers to the sidelines. Brazilian corn for the second half of summer is competitive with the United States. There is talk that China and Argentina are close to resolving the phyto-sanitary issues that has prevented China from importing Argentine corn. The Buenos Aires Cereals Exchange lowered their corn estimate from 19.8 million metric tons to 19.3 mmt with harvest half complete. The USDA’s last forecast was 21.5 mmt. The International Grains Council this week increased their global production forecast by 13 mmt to 913 mmt. Weekly ethanol production was 270 million gallons this week, the largest grind since February. Ethanol stocks rose to 899 million gallons. The CN-CZ spread collapsed to under 60 this week as weather sup-

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Garrison, Minn.

he walleye is Minnesota’s King of Fish. Like kings of olden times, our King Fish has two capitals. Baudette, in the Far North, is the Walleye Capital of the World. So, one would imagine, the Walleye King rules the walleye world from Baudette when he is in residence in that fair town on the banks of Lake of the Woods. However, Garrison, on the shores of Mille Lacs, is also the Walleye Capital of the World. Humans in both towns have erected statues to the Walleye King. A plaque below the walleye icon at Garrison says that Paul Bunyan caught this walleye. That’s not true. Don’t be taken in. Both sculptures are gifts to the humans from the Walleye King. Each year the Walleye King also gives Minnesotans the gift of 3.8 million pounds of his smaller cousins. Minnesotans eat more of this flaky white-meated fish, which is actually a perch and not a pike, than the people of any other state in this U.S. of A. Most of these cousins are caught in the state’s big walleye factory lakes of Mille Lacs, Lake of the Woods and Winnibigoshish. Those lakes have the perfect combination of depth and habitat to produce millions of pounds of wild walleye. If you wish to reap some of the Walleye King’s bounty, the basics are fairly simple. It’s all about the eyes. Walleye’s whitish eyes are designed to see in limited light or somewhat murky water. So, at night, they move into fairly shallow waters to feed. During the day they go dimmer and deeper — to 15 to 25 feet or more, depending on the water clarity. Windy, choppy days are good walleye fishing because the waves filter the bright light and allow the light-sensitive fish to rise from the depths. Everybody loves catching a stringer of walleye. Everybody dreams of landing a trophy. Minnesota’s record whopper walleye was pulled from the Seagull River where it enters Saganaga Lake on the edge of the Boundary Waters wilderness. It weighed 17 pounds, 8 ounces and measured 35.8 inches long. That’s a big fish! But the biggest-ever walleye weighed 25 pounds. It was caught in Tennessee waters. Saskatchewan claims the walleye as its Provincial Fish and has an 18.3-pound record walleye. If Minnesota intends to keep two Walleye Capitals of the World, our fishermen should stop eating so much and start catching something big.
