Letter: Educating youth on ag To the Editor: As you pointed out in the Opinion section of your May 25 edition, it is an important but daunting task to educate consumers about where their food comes from. It is always enjoyable to hear what children think, and the third graders in this survey were no exception.

A group of farmers and agribusiness people in south central Minnesota have decided to tackle the task of educating our consumers this summer. We are organizing a one-day camp called Farm Camp Minnesota for children in grades 3 to 6. The purpose of this camp is to provide a fun, educational experience for the campers to learn about modern agriculture and to understand how and where their food is produced.

The campers will be able to interact with farmers and agribusiness people as they

learn about corn, soybeans, pork, dairy, beef and poultry.

They will be able to participate in many fun activities and also be able to ride in a tractor.

The camp will be held at Farmamerica, west of Waseca, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. on Aug. 13. Lunch will be provided and everybody will receive a T-shirt and a lot of fun things to take home.

Registration information is available by contacting Farmamerica at their website www.farmamerica.org or by calling (507) 835-2052.

I want to express my appreciation to the agribusinesses, producer groups and individuals who are donating their time and resources to make this happen. I would like to invite your readers to help us tell the story by encouraging any 3 to 6 graders they know to join us at Farm Camp Minnesota for a day of fun and learning.

“Despite our great discontent, America is better If you are considering burning, you today than any time in our great history. Democracies only work when people respect each other and are willing to work together for the common cause.”

My brief visit with Sen. Boschwitz reaffirmed me of his great faith in America. As he walked me out of his office he gently took my hand, “remember that faith in America starts with a strong religious faith.”

Still ramrod straight and standing tall, he is indeed a proud American.

As I contemplated writing another “Dairy Month” salute, I took a look at what I said a year ago.

I talked about how Dairy Month has been a great promotional event for the U.S. dairy industry for many years because it “calls our city slicker cousins back to their roots and back to the land where their food comes from.” It also provides a great promotional venue to retailers to spotlight and specially price milk, cheese and ice cream and let’s not forget the latest dairy “wonder of the world,” Greek yogurt.

It is the dairy industry’s desire for consumers to enjoy and appreciate dairy products in this special month of recognition but consumers also need to be aware and reminded of the hard work, dedication, and animal and land stewardship, plus the tough economic times dairy farmers endure to provide that gallon of milk or block of cheese that grocery store shoppers never worry there’ll be a shortage of.

Like so many things in life, it’s easy to take it all for granted but it doesn’t just magically appear. I need some cheese for the pizza tonight or a gallon of ice cream for the birthday party this afternoon so I simply run to the store and get it because it’s always there, right? But, what if it wasn’t?

I occasionally receive comments from non-farm readers about the things I write about each week and how interesting and yet complex this industry is. That’s encouraging because the people who really know what’s behind that gallon of milk or that chunk of cheese will appreciate it a little more and will complain a little less when they may have to pay a little more for it.

Milk is said to be one of nature’s most perfect foods and we are blessed to have it and an industry that is so dedicated to providing it.

Drink up Mr. and Ms. Consumer. It’s Dairy Month.

■ Cheese production nationally remains heavy, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Increased milk supplies have been moving to manufacturing facilities with cheese plants taking much of the increase.

This has increased stocks in cold storage, but manufacturers are reported to be comfortable with current inventories.

Export sales are being assisted by the Cooperatives Working Together program. American cheese stocks are above year-ago and last month’s levels.

“Other” natural cheese stocks were below year-ago levels, but increasing from last month.

A recent earthquake in Italy is reported to have damaged over 300,000 wheels of aged cheese worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

The CWT accepted 14 requests for export assistance the last week of May to sell a total of 875,235 pounds of cheese and 1.664 million pounds of butter to customers in Asia, North Africa, Central America and the Middle East.

Grain Outlook Rain keeps bulls at bay

Livestock Angles Grain Angles Will June be good In the cycle of for prices? greed, hope, fear

The market analysis is for the week ending June 1.

CORN — Corn extended the downtrend this week by closing lower four consecutive days of the Memorial Day shortened week. July corn declined 27 cents to $5.51 1/2 and the December contract lost 11 1/2 cents to close at $5.10 per bushel.

An absence of any fresh export interest, a firming dollar, disappointing economic reports and enough rain to keep the bulls at bay were adequate to outweigh non-existent farmer sales.

Cash basis levels had been flat on the domestic side while PHYLLIS NYSTROM export basis has been falling for Country Hedging the last 10 days. As June St. Paul arrived, both the export and processor markets exhibited life as pipelines are not being replenished. Early wheat harvest in the Plains showing decent yield and good quality possibly may push wheat out of feed channels and back to the wheat balance sheet. This could increase demand for corn as we head into mid-summer.

While most of the Midwest received rainfall the last week of May, it was not enough to mitigate the general dryness, particularly in southern Illinois and Indiana. However with most areas receiving some measure of moisture, the market has not reacted to a drought threat at this time. The high heat of late May has subsided, putting that threat on the back burner for now.

However, the current growing conditions have begun to cast some doubt on the record 166-bushel-

It appears the beginning of June is starting out as possibly a positive month for livestock prices. Both the cattle and hog markets have experienced a firming cash and futures markets.

The cattle market, which has seen prices drop on what appears to be declining demand, has seen the packers continue to remain fairly aggressive in their bidding for live inventory. This despite the fact that show lists have increased in recent weeks, suggesting that there is plenty of inventory to meet the current slaughter needs.

The beef cutout has moved back JOE TEALE into the upper-$190 per hundredBroker weight area, and with that the Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. volume in the boxed sales have decreased once again. This continues to point to the fact that there is still consumer resistance to the higher beef prices.

A major factor in the futures market is the different commodity funds that have dominated to some degree the prices paid in the cash market. If these funds decide to take a position in the futures market on either side, that could have a bearing on the direction of the cash trade in the weeks ahead.

Over the short run a further rally in prices is anticipated, however the overall trend in the cattle market is, at present, down. Therefore, the producers should be aware that if the current rally begins to falter, a return to lower prices could be in the offing.

This would signal a return to protection of inventories.

For the next six weeks the grain markets will be focused on the three-times-a-day, updated six- to 10day weather forecasts. Or will they? It seems like the noncommercial, fund investors are trading in the opposite way than the fundamentals suggest they should.

Over the last couple of weeks, I have started hearing more grumbling about the weaknesses of the U.S. Department of Agriculture crop reporting system. People are starting to wonder about conspiracies with the manner in which China trades in the cash markets and how the fund managers don’t use fundamental analysis; that TOM NEHER the new trading hours are geared AgStar VP & Team Leader to aid in their manipulation of — Grain Industry Rochester, Minn. the market prices.

This tells me that we have some grain producers who are on the “wrong side of the market” and they are starting to “talk their position.”

Could this be at the mid-point of the “Greed, Hope, Fear Cycle” that haunts our human marketing psyche?

Those who are finding that they are on the “wrong side of the market” clearly are operating under the trading paradigm of trying to guess where the markets will go and predict the future. This is a dangerous approach to making marketing decisions. This is simply because no one can predict the future with consistent accuracy. The markets are not logical; they are subject to the human emotions of greed, hope and fear. Humans are innately social animals who are influenced by others in the herd. This does not lead to logical or rational processing of market intelligence.

Fasten your seatbelts; we’re in for a bumpy ride

Hogs may have finally turned corner TEALE, from pg. 14A The hog market appears to have finally turned the corner and is on the road to a continued rally. It started with a turn in the pork cutouts and has carried over into a firmer cash market. The fact that pork cutouts were less than half the price of the beef cutouts prompted retailers to take advantage of this discrepancy and feature more pork. This despite the fact that there is plenty of pork in storage.

The movement of pork product has been on the increase and should begin to draw down these

excesses in storage over the next few months. To assist in this current recovery in prices are the seasonal trends, which normally peak in late spring and early summer. The caveat to this whole scenario is the fact that the hog market is still in a long-term downtrend and a rally could meet strong resistance at higher prices.

On the other hand, since this recent low is later than normal, the rally in hog prices may extend further than normal. Since there are premiums in the futures, producers should still consider protection of inventories if premiums exceed normal carry. ❖

This edge will also be found when it comes to securing financial support from lenders, investors or partners.

Given all of the volatility and uncertainty that we experience in our lives and businesses today, we must remember that we cannot control everything.

We in farm country know this all too well. Yet we do have control over many of our managerial practices and this will be an angle that can lead to success.

OUTLOOK: July soybeans settled for the week at $13.44 1/4, down 37 3/4 cents for the week; November beans collapsed 44 1/4 cents to close out the week at $12.45 per bushel. With the nearly 50 percent retracement of the December-May rally, soybeans may be poised for a rally, depending on weather and export demand. As in corn, we’ll look for high volatility to stay in the markets. Any missed rain forecasts could propel up sharply higher.

July beans ranged during the short Memorial Day week from $13.17 1/2 to $14.02 and the November range was $12.45 to $13.07 3/4 per bushel. Bottom line, we need to see outside markets regain some confidence in tandem with fundamental reasons to rebound back to the higher end of the ranges, but short term I would expect choppy, higher movement.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending June 1 — Minneapolis wheat dove 40 3/4 cents this week, Chicago plummeted 67 3/4 cents and Kansas City dropped 63 cents. July crude oil crashed $7.63 to $83.23, heating oil fell 20 1/2 cents, gasoline was down 17 1/2 cents and natural gas lost 30 cents. The U.S. dollar index was up 0.40 points, the stock market was 326 points lower as it fell into negative territory for calendar 2012, and June gold jumped $57.10 to $1,626 per ounce. ❖

corn as a “buy”? First support for July corn is $5.50, resistance near $5.78 per bushel. For the December contract, the range is $5 to $5.50 per bushel. Fasten your seatbelts, boys; it looks like we’re in for a bumpy ride.

SOYBEANS — A choppier week in soybeans than corn this week, as soybeans were sharply lower for the week as funds liquidated length on a lack of new sales. On the continuous soybean chart, beans retraced nearly half the December-to-May rally.

Weak economic data pushed grains lower as the week drew to a close with non-farm payrolls only gaining 69,000 when 150,000 had been expected. The May U.S. unemployment rate climbed 0.1 percent to 8.2 percent. China’s Purchasing Managers Index fell from 53.3 in April to 50.4 in May, a signal of a slowing economy.

Looking ahead in South America, it’s reported that Brazilian farmers have already sold a record 27 percent of next year’s crop, in addition to having already purchased large amounts of seed and fertilizer.

NYSTROM, from pg. 14A per-acre yield that the U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecasting, at least this early. Michael Cordonnier lowered his corn yield estimate from 165 to 164 bu./acre while Planalytics pegged this year’s corn yield at 157.8 bu./acre in a report released this week.

Weekly export sales were discouraging at only 7.4 million bushels of old crop and 3.7 million bushels of new crop. The market tried to rally on rumors of Chinese and Mexican interest, but since the sales are unconfirmed, the gains were fleeting. Total export commitments are down 12 percent from last year when the USDA is only forecasting a 7 1/2 percent decline, so don’t be surprised with a smaller export line on the June crop report.

Crop conditions fell as of May 28 from 77 percent to 72 percent good/excellent. This was a larger drop than anticipated, but after post-Memorial Day rains conditions are expected to regain a few points.

OUTLOOK: Rumors of Chinese interest in U.S. corn pushed prices into a big range as the week ended, but nothing was confirmed going home for the week. Weak global economics are expected to overshadow major rally attempts.

Now the caveat: after the free-fall in corn over the last few weeks, with even a little encouragement from the weatherman, will money once again eye

Cover story: A clean haylage shave is the payoff

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Called an SS8 and mounted on a Case skid loader with a 10-foot reach, the Easy Rake used by Wright County, Minn., dairy farmer Andy Thorson quickly and cleanly scrapes haylage out of the nine-foot diameter plastic bags used on Diers Corp. Farm.

With this rig, he rakes down 5,500 pounds of haylage in only two minutes. The beauty of this system is a perfectly clean face so there’s no dry down, no spoilage and no waste prior to the next feeding 24 hours later.

Thorson, 37, the crops and weekend feeding guy at the 200-cow operation which has been using haylage bags (mostly 250-feet long and 9-feet diameter) for several years, said, “it was a struggle every day with just a bucket on my skid loader to get the feed out clean. Haylage out of a bag is difficult because of how tightly it compresses.

chore is a piece of cake.”

Originator of the Easy Rake system is Riverview LLP, a dairy operation in the Morris, Minn., area. Hanson Silo of Lake Lillian, Minn., purchased the manufacturing and marketing rights of the system and now markets eight different sized rakes throughout the livestock industry in the United States and Canada.

Thorson had seen the units at farm shows and also at a neighboring dairy farm in a bunker storage system. He also checked out working demos at the Easy Rake website. He reasoned this rake would work well cutting silage out of a silage bag and keep a nice face on the remaining silage. It definitely looked like a time saver also.

He talked it over with his wife, Colette, and father-in-law, Gary Diers.

However neither was real excited about the $4,000 price. However, last fall they harvested some of their corn silage and stored it in a “drive-over” covered silage pile.

“But when we started feeding out of that pile last December, I couldn’t believe how hard it was to keep a nice face on the pile with just a bucket. I See COVER STORY, pg. 18A

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer The exceptionally dry and generally easy harvest last fall certainly slowed the expansion of “white plastic flat storage,” especially when 99 percent of the corn crop was field dried and ready for the bin without any artificial heat.

Get into flat storage for 6 cents a Marc Van Buren bushel, and white plastic continues to be the most cost-effective answer for growers still needing a facility for handling extra grain even if “bin-dry” at harvest. For cattle feeders, silage bags are especially quick and convenient when bunkers need some extra temporary capacity.

“Demand for storage dropped off last fall because of the very favorable weather, but since we first got into flat storage a few years back it’s been a good run,” said Marc Van Buren, with Lange Ag Systems of Willmar, Minn.

He said usage of these flat storage bags for things other than high-moisture corn or silage keeps happening. “Just last week we had a customer in western Minnesota who bagged some urea. So temporary storage for other products is continuing to surprise us.”

The grain bags filled with the Loftness grain bagger are available in 10-foot and 12-foot diameter sizes. A 300-foot-long bag, 10-foot diameter, gives you 14,000to 15,000-bushel storage. The 12-foot machine used on a 500-foot bag provides up to 33,000 bushels of temporary storage.

“If you own the Loftness machine, your plastic costs for a 500-foot bag are about 6 cents a bushel. Or you can rent a machine and that about doubles your storage costs,” Van Buren said. He said they have customers who own several machines and have built a healthy business doing both silage and grain filling.

But individual producers are now often buying their own machines.

Van Buren said that farmers still speak confidently about 2012 being another good year, especially if spring rains regenerate soil moisture. Lange Ag Systems gets a good read on both grain and livestock farmers since the firm markets across Minnesota, into North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Iowa.

If there’s a sudden demand for flat storage this fall, it shouldn’t be a problem for Lange, since they usually inventory 300 to 500 grain bags at their Willmar facility. The factory supplier of the bags — Up North Plastics — is only a couple hours away, at Cottage Grove, Minn. The AG-BAG machine for silage is manufactured at Saint Nazianz, Wisc. The Loftness Grain Bagger and Grain Unloader machines are made at Hector, Minn.

Van Buren speaks highly of the engineering and construction quality of these two brands of machines for filling flat storage. “There are a lot of these units still out there since the early 1990s. So with routine maintenance, these are long-lasting pieces of equipment,” he said.

Van Buren was interviewed at the Willmar, Minn., farm show this spring. For more information, log on to langeagsystems.com. ❖

each day with my skid loader and bucket trying to properly face the silage pile. We were feeding about 14,000 pounds from that pile each day.

So it was a winter feeding from that pile that convinced me the rake system was better than pealing down with the bucket each day.

“But I really wanted to see how the rake would work on the haylage bags.

We use bags for most of our haylage so I needed some assurance that the Easy Rake would do the job. I hauled a load of hay to a farmer near Lake Lillian (Minn.) so I was only a few miles from the Hanson Silo plant. Mike Hanson said haul it home and see how it works for you.”

He was immediately impressed. “I couldn’t believe how quick and clean it pulled the haylage out and left such a clean face. The same on our corn silage pile. Just two to three minutes to pull down 14,000 pounds of corn silage,” said Thorson, who couldn’t come up with a single disadvantage of his unit.

aren’t any hydraulic hoses to hook up.

You’re hitched up and raking forage in 30 seconds. There’s just no maintenance. It’s what I call ‘stupid/simple’.

“I know there are a lot of dairy farmers who are always doing some fixing on their hydraulic facers. But this unit looks to me to be pretty much indestructible.”

Brother-in-law Scott Diers does the weekday feeding; bunk feeding with a TMR wagon. The daily ration includes corn silage, high-moisture ear corn silage, dry supplements, haylage, even wheat straw when it fits the ration. He makes up three batches totaling 24,000 pounds of feed per day. Cows are group fed, one of three different rations based on age and production.

Diers Farm runs about 800 crop acres, slightly over 1,000 acres including the hay ground. Corn and alfalfa are the primary crops but also some soybeans to spread out the harvest season. All the manure from this dairy farm gets used for corn ground.

The Thorsons have three daughters: Mikayla, 9, Malorie, 7, and Victoria, 4.

Despite vacillating milk prices, Thorson thinks dairy farms producing most of their own feed, have a good future in Minnesota.

“It’s a challenging business. Input costs keep rising. To be successful, you need to micromanage. I think that even boils down to how clean a face you leave on your silage piles each day.” ❖

Q&A: Chuck Conner on the state of agriculture gram. But agriculture has always been challenging. Today is no different than 30 years ago. Sure, having a family connection already in farming makes it more doable. Our Farm Credit System, which is also a farmerowned cooperative, is a tremendous provider for both first-time beginning farmers and established farmers.

Q: Isn’t agribusiness today a much bigger employer than production ag?

Conner: Very definitely. Our National Council of Farm Cooperatives is now an organization of more than 3,000 U.S. farmer-owned businesses. Plus private industry in U.S. agriculture continues to seek new talent as the industry expands. The demand for young, energetic graduates to work in agribusiness is very, very strong. At a time when most college graduates are finding it difficult to get jobs, not so for the young graduates studying any of the many different vocational choices in agriculture.

Q: By 2050 world population is See CONNER, pg. 20A

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

Conner: American agriculture is doing well; remarkably well. But even our recent history reveals tougher times in agriculture. My father — an Indiana producer — farmed 50 years and often struggled during certain years just to provide for the family. Agriculture struggled just to exist during the 1980s.

Many farmers didn’t survive. So it’s refreshing to see this much healthier economy for U.S. farmers today. Will some individual farmers still be battling to exist? Yes, that’s the very nature of this industry which has become so capital intensive. We do know there will be down periods at some point.

Q: In view of this competition, how can younger people find opportunity in agriculture?

Conner: When I graduated from Purdue University in 1980 people were saying it was impossible to go out and stake your future in production agriculture. And that reality did, in fact, force me to seek other work to provide for me and my family. My father and my older brother were running our farm.

Farm bills only pass with broad support from ag CONNER, from pg. 19A projected to be 9 billion. Can agriculture find the means to feed 2 billion more people over the next 40 years?

Conner: I describe this as the next generation’s greatest challenge. It will involve careful planning on the part of U.S. food and agricultural policy people, plus world agricultural policy.

It presents almost unlimited opportunities to U.S. farmers and U.S. farm

cooperatives. The rapidly emerging middle class of people around the world is anxious to improve their diets.

They’re demanding more protein, and more variety in their daily food. Some predict as much as a 70-percent increase in total food production will be needed by 2050.

Q: You are a world traveler. Is the agricultural cooperative movement strong elsewhere?

Conner: Farmer-owned co-ops have

a strong presence throughout Europe, Canada, even in the developing world.

They serve the same fundamental purpose of providing group action when individual efforts just wouldn’t work.

It may, for example, be just a small coffee bean operation in an underdeveloped country in Africa. But by banding together they, too, generate better marketing opportunities.

Q: Are we making the right kind of progress on the new 2012 farm bill?

Conner: I’ve been involved in seven farm bills dating back to the days of President Jimmy Carter, when Sen. Herman Tallmadge was chairman of the Senate ag committee for the 1981 farm bill. Tallmadge already was an institution in agricultural circles. So when the Senator spoke, we listened. It’s more challenging today. But compared with other issues, agriculture clearly is more bipartisan and historically that has been the nature of farm bill legislation.

The division comes more at regional lines than party lines. In essence, strong differences between southern agricultural interests and Middle America still persist. For example, the Senate ag committee farm bill proposal has received very high praise from corn and soybean interests but sharp criticism from rice, peanut and cotton growers. The Southern farmers still favor direct payment provisions in the farm bill. But that’s not likely to work in the next farm bill.

Our corn and soybean producers are willing to give up direct payments if there is a stronger risk management program. Ultimately farm bills only pass when broadly supported by all sectors of agriculture. Will we have a new farm bill before the November election?

I don’t know.

legislation is on the right track for all groups?

Conner: I think the one track that unites is that we’re all pleased that the process has started. It’s been my experience with seven farm bills that the toughest part is simply getting them out of the ag committee; getting them out of the chute so to speak. At this point the new proposed bill is only out of the Senate ag committee on a 12 to 5 vote; the House committee apparently wants more time to listen to more issues.

Q: Speaking of the House, any particular advice for Minnesota Rep. Collin Peterson?

Conner: Collin is a friend of mine, and a friend of cooperatives. He gets reelected because he looks after his farm constituency very well. He understands what agriculture needs to continue sustainably. And he knows full well that you need to reach across political points of view, particularly in the U.S. House of Representatives, which basically has few agricultural votes and often little real understanding of American agriculture. You’re not going to pass a farm bill through the House just with the farm delegation.

That segment will get you less than one-quarter of votes needed. Today most of U.S. food production comes from only about 200,000 producers. In voting terms when you are relating to 300 million people, that’s a small slice.

Q: Is agriculture being treated ‘fairly’ on the issue of renewable energy?

Conner: First recognize that the National Council of Farmers Cooperatives has been deep in the development of the renewable fuels industry See CONNER, pg. 21A

CONNER, from pg. 20A in America virtually since Day One. Many — in fact, most — of the original ethanol plants started as farmerowned cooperatives. So, too, the original biodiesel facilities were cooperative businesses. But we’re also cognizant of our livestock production industry and feed cost issues. We understand both sides of the argument. The case that the ethanol industry needs to make to the American public is the fact that the pump price for virtually all Americans is lower because of the inputs of ethanol fuels. Some say that thanks to ethanol, pump prices are about 50 cents a gallon cheaper. It’s a noteworthy difference that simply is not understood by most folks pulling into a station for a fill-up.

Q: How does your council assist ‘start-up’ groups wanting to produce and market as a cooperative?

Conner: This is an important part of our total mission. Because the co-op is a unique business structure it requires unique tax and accounting systems.

We have a legal tax and accounting group within our structure that assists both existing co-ops and new co-ops as well. Specialists within the council meet with producers and marketers across the country.

Information is also available electronically via our website at www.ncfc.org.

Q: Do we have too many co-ops?

Conner: It can’t happen!

Q: Because of better genetics, more innovations and even more smart farmers, will American agriculture continue to improve production per acre?

Conner: I see enormous growth potential in total productivity of American agriculture going forward. This global world has to face the reality of tremendously much more production with few new acres to bring into food production. I believe we will meet that challenge

Global market access key to U.S. ag success CONNER, from pg. 21A sense question is what is the public getting out of this proposal. And way too often it seems the answer is ‘not much.’ The pesticide registration issue, which may soon require a farmer to get a pesticide registration every time he goes to the field with a particular product, is simply nonsense. The Department of Labor and their effort to take kids away from farm work is another example of ineptitude. Thankfully, common sense did prevail on that issue.

Also, we face a very competitive world market today.

Much of that competition comes from co-ops outside the United States. We need a business-friendly environment that recognizes the importance of global trade, and also the strong pricing support that many European farmers enjoy through their governments.

Q: Without exports U.S. agriculture would be financially insolvent. What does your council do to enhance U.S. agricultural exports?

Conner: You’re right, without exports U.S. agriculture would be in a world of hurt. This year we’re estimating over $130 billion of U.S. food and agriculture exports. Nearly 50 percent of U.S. soybean production gets exported; about 15 percent of U.S.

dairy production; upwards of over 20 percent of U.S. pork, and it looks like a record potential for U.S. corn exports, too. The next farm bill has to address the trade challenges, however, faced by U.S. farmers in world markets. Sanitary and phyto-sanitary trade barriers are an issue. Market development funds are crucial. The Market Access Program enables us to match our competitors overseas. Let me bullet point how MAP levels the playing field for U.S. farmers and ranchers in world trade.

• Our competitors in the world market — including the European Union, Australia, Argentina, China, Russia and others — outspend the United States by several magnitudes when it comes to market development.

• According to the World Trade Organization, the EU alone spends over $1 billion in promoting their agricultural products abroad and in member states. This is more than four times what the United States spends.

Q: Does U.S. agriculture need a farm bill?

Conner: Yes, we need a farm bill. We can all be champions of a free-market agriculture, but that’s not a reality in today’s world market scenarios. The first farm bill I worked on was five titles; today’s farm bill is 16 titles, so the mere complexities of world agriculture sort of demands agricultural legislation with its own checks and balances. The fundamental principal of a farm bill is to provide a safety net for the producer. That need is as strong today was it was in 1981. There are a lot of opportunities in agriculture today, but also tremendous variabilities. When you depend upon the Chinese, for example, for your market, what happens when there is a disruption? That safety net shouldn’t dictate production, it shouldn’t drive the farmers’ planning decisions, but it should be there to provide some cushion when there is a temporary drop in the agricultural economy.

Q: If you were writing the next farm bill, what would you include?

Conner: Give production agriculture the resources necessary to sustain food production. The cost of farm programs has come down precipitously since 1981. I’m not aware of any federal programs with a declining rate of spending. Don’t treat agriculture like it is part of our deficit problem.

Don’t forget about the market export program.

Exports today are so very critical to American agriculture and very definitely to the increasing role of feeding more of the world’s population. And last, help us out on some of this regulatory stuff. Let’s put some sort of ‘common sense’ test into play before rules are made. Give us these three issues and farmers and the co-ops they own will be able to meet the challenges this world is going to present. ❖

Schwaller: ‘Home Economics class didn’t prepare for me for that’ TABLE TALK, from pg. 23A So — I dialed up “1-800-Husband” to see if there were any specific instructions. I’ve seen many pigs and sheep be born, but never a calf — even at my age.

One of our sons came home and took over the midwife role. I was officially relieved of that duty. Had I been the one to do this myself, my relief would probably have taken a much different form … especially thinking about possible complications as the process went on.

We got the cow into the barn and let her settle down, while our son and I chatted quietly in the next room, peering through an opening between the gate and the wall so we could watch her.

Our son was tallying up the number of calves they had with this one, and was doing the financial math, dreaming of what could someday be for he and his brother. It’s fun when your children tell you their dreams.

The cow was only about half settled about 20 to 30 minutes into it when our son said he had a lot of other things to get done that day, and decided he was “going in.” It was pretty official — he grabbed the O.B. sleeves and some twine string. I would have

grabbed the safety goggles, hip waders, rubber gloves and saran wrap, and covered my entire body.

You never know.

We then penned her up in a smaller area so we could get her into the chute. She was like a supersized bagel trying to fit into a bread-sized toaster slot.

“Oh, poor mama,” I thought. I began to feel compassion toward this beast. She and I could have something in common — there have been plenty of times when I didn’t fit in, too.

Going with what we could do, our son grabbed the two suggestions of feet and legs that were sticking out by then, and pulled with all his might, as the cow just stood there acting like it was all in a day’s work.

After a concerted effort at pulling that calf into the light of day, she arrived. A nice, big, healthy heifer calf. And what a welcome into the world — a plop onto the hay-covered ground from about chest height. And the cow remained standing up the whole time to have her baby, barely flinching as it was all taking place behind her.

Big show off.

It’s always amazing to see the instincts of baby animals kick in — holding their heads up right away, standing within 20 to 30 minutes, knowing where to look to get something to eat. It was all pretty mesmerizing until the cow discovered all that “other stuff” on the ground that is part of the birthing process, and started snacking, as farm animals do.

Somehow, my high school Home Economics class didn’t prepare me for that.

Ligament tears don’t just affect professional athletes places, playing or getting the animal’s leg caught in something.

“It takes a fair bit of force to rupture a cruciate ligament, and it tends to occur more often in overweight cats,” Kerwin said.

However, in dogs, this injury is often the result of a chronic degeneration of the ligament and occurs much more frequently than it does in cats.

“In dogs, we think the injury may be related to weight and body structure, meaning that some large breeds such as Rottweilers, Labradors and Chow Chows, may be predisposed to CCL injuries,” Kerwin said. “In some cases, we think it’s either the shape of their tibia or the shape of their femur that predisposes them to this injury.”

A ruptured ligament is usually characterized by limping or inactivity. In cats, they will not want to play the way

they used to, and dogs will often appear lame and sit awkwardly with their leg sticking out, signaling a possible knee problem.

Kerwin said if your pet shows signs of an injured leg, schedule an appointment with your veterinarian who will conduct a lameness exam in order to diagnose the problem.

The injury is often treated in cats with medical management by placing overweight cats on a strict diet with exercise restriction for three to six weeks, followed by a check-up measuring progress. If the injury fails to heal, surgery is often recommended to explore and stabilize the joint.

When dogs are afflicted with CCL injuries, many times the best option is surgery as quickly as possible.

“Dogs often don’t do well with medical management, the injury will often worsen over time as the arthritis in the knee builds,” Kerwin said.

Dogs often require eight to 12 weeks of recovery including strict rest and rehabilitation.

Once your pet has undergone the recommended period of exercise restriction, it is important to encourage it to exercise its leg with slow leash walks or through playtime activities.

“The biggest way to prevent CCL tears is to keep your pet at a proper weight,” Kerwin said.

It is easy for animals to gain weight, especially if they spend most of their time indoors, because they do not get the same level of exercise. Your veterinarian can advise you on the proper weight for your dog or cat.

While ligament tears can cause serious setbacks in an athlete’s career, a similar injury can mean surgery and rehabilitation for your frisky kitty or romping Rover.

According to Sharon Kerwin, professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, anterior cruciate ligament tears or cranial cruciate ligament injuries, as they are referred to in animals, occur almost as often as they do in humans.

“Cats and dogs have the same ligaments that we have in our knees,” Kerwin said.

“The cruciate ligament stabilizes your femur and your tibia so you don’t get too much motion between those two bones.”

CCL tears in cats often occur the same way ACL tears occur in humans. Often, there is some traumatic injury that occurs as a result of jumping from high

Give your kids the straight poop with ‘Poopendous!’

When you were a little kid, you probably heard your mother say “Eeeeuuuuuww, don’t pick that “Poopendous!” up!” really often.

By Artie Bennett, There were lots of nasty, icky illustrations by Mike Moran things that you thought were c.2012, Blue Apple Books interesting then (and you might $16.99 still), but that your mother knew 36 pages Artie Bennett were definitely meant to be left alone. Mud, for instance, bugs, or THE BOOKWORM SEZ yucky stuff that was outside way too long. Bleah.

By Terri Schlichenmeyer Those were the things you Termites live in learned to ignore, but there’s one icky substance mounds of poop. that’s actually very useful and kinda cool. In the Dung beetles new book “Poopendous!” by Artie Bennett, illustrause it as food tions by Mike Moran, you’ll see what it is. (ick!). Poop Before you do anything, though, be sure that can carry you’ve got a strong stomach. Then take a deep seeds around the breath, swallow hard, hold your nose, and let’s go ... world and once the seeds are dropped, the poop First of all, here’s something you already know: will help plants take root and grow. poop happens. Every living thing on Earth does it Farmers and gardeners use poo for that inside or outside (or both!), and there are lots of words for it: ca-ca, doo-doo, flop, guano, scat or dung. very reason. Monkeys sometimes like to throw poop, and people at fairs do it, too (only they call it a “cowBig animals leave big poop. Little creatures (like pie” or a “cow chip”). In either case, that poo is really flies) leave little spots of poo. In the animal kingdom, poop can be round (rabbits) or tubular pellets far-flung dung. Yuck!

Poop can mark a trail, or it can mark territory. If (raccoons), it can be white (like from birds) or cubed (Australia’s wombat). It can be dry (from a camel) or you like to hike, poop can tell you if animals may be nearby. Some people build houses of poop and others flat and messy (like what cows leave behind). use it as fuel for cooking or to stay warm. Then there

are those who use poo as a souvenir or even for making jeeeuuuuwwelry!

What in the world would we do without doo-doo?

Read this book and find out. You’ll be the most poopular kid in the neighborhood.

So your child has made exploration his doodie ... er, duty? He thinks scat is all that? So why not step in his world and read to him something he’ll love?

Yes, indeed, “Poopendous!” is cute. The rhyme that makes the story will give your child piles of giggles.

But Bennett also teaches kids a smidge of science and a bit of biology inside this book, a benefit that doesn’t wipe away the silliness one bit. Add in illustrations by Moran that run poopendicular to the narrative, and you’ve got a book that kids will never want to leave alone.

Meant for children ages 5 to 7, I think this book might de-squirm the right preschooler, too. If your child wants the scoop on poop, “Poopendous!” is a book to pick up.

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

West central antique show set This year’s West Central Antique Power Show will feature “Minnesota-Made” tractors and machinery, including a 1915 gas-powered tractor called the Little Oak, originally built in Willmar and owned by Ralph Hall of Atwater, Minn. You’ll also see a 1915 Hustler gas engine also built in Willmar and owned by Byron Boike of Willmar. There will also be some equipment built by inmates at the Minnesota State Prison when machinery construction was a major industry of the prison.

The show takes place June 23-24 at its show site 1.5 miles east of the junction of U.S. Highway 71 and Minnesota Highway 7 (south of Willmar).

“We call it an antique tractor show but it keeps expanding. Now we have antique cars, antique trucks, antique machinery, a flea market plus various vendors. Even our garden tractor category for both pull and show keeps growing,” said Bill Luepke, president of the group which now includes 85 dues-paying members. The $15 membership fee includes two pork chop dinners at the Saturday evening event.

Admission is $5 but free for kids 15 and under.

Attractions include kids barrel train rides; farm toy show (buy and sell); a shady playground; gas engine power displays; wood shingle making; corn shelling and grinding; huge saw mill in action; live music and a swap meet. Gates open at 8 a.m., and there is plenty of free parking including handicap parking.

your burgers and focus. One thing I have noticed is that people like to play with their burgers once they are on the grill. The only time you will touch your burger is to turn it, or to move it to the cool area of your grill if flame ups occur. You will know it’s time to turn your burger when juices start forming on the top of the meat.

Depending on the thickness of your burger, this will happen after five minutes or so.

• When you turn the burger count on a big flame from the juices that have formed. Don’t freak out and pour water on the flame. Feel free to move the burgers to the cool side until the flames subside. Oh, and do not ever squish

your burger to flatten it out. You create flames and you are forcing out the moistness of the meat.

Cooking the second side will take roughly one-half the time of the first side. When doing gas, you can shut the lid if you prefer. Personally, I grill on gas with the lid open so I can see what is going on.

So there you go Tex, and all gas grillers, a column just for you on how to grill the perfect burger.

favorite spices (personally I stick to salt, pepper and a little Worcestershire sauce) create a ball barely larger than a baseball. This should be around one-third of a pound. Do not squeeze it together too tightly.

Flatten it out on a cutting board to the shape of a normal burger. Now, make the middle one-third of the burger thinner than the outer twothirds of the burger. The reason you do this is while cooking, the meat pulls inward, which is why most people end up with a meatball.

You can see this technique at YouTube.com/BBQMyWay. Once you get there, search for “hamburger.”

• Preheat your grill to medium heat.

Make sure you take a steel brush and clean the grate once it is nice and hot.

Now, take an old towel and carefully apply olive oil to the grate.

This helps eliminate potential sticking, which will destroy your burger.

When I use a gas grill, I have one area of the grill set up with no heat. You will see how helpful this is in a bit.

• Place the patties over the heat and DO NOT GO ANYWHERE. On a gas grill, flame ups will occur. Don’t go inside for water, an adult beverage, or to check a sports score. Grilling a burger doesn’t take long, so stay with

I have a good friend who is a regular reader of my column.

He said something that I have heard on occasion from other readers via e-mail.

“Dave, almost every article you do is for charcoal. I don’t do charcoal, I do gas.”

Tex, (that’s my friend’s name) this column is for you and all those grillers who have not yet taken the leap to a charcoal grill. We are going to discuss the basic, classic, grilled burger.

When outdoor cooks attempt to make a grilled hamburger, the end result can be less than desirable.

Many times the burger resembles an oddly shaped meatball, crusty black on the outside and undercooked on the inside. That’s a problem waiting to happen. If you follow the basic skills outlined in this column, you will say “goodbye forever” to the oddly shaped grilling embarrassment.

• The first step is to buy good ground beef. Too lean and the burger will be dry. Too much fat and you will have severe burger shrinkage and a possible fiery inferno on your hands. What you are looking for is 80-20, meaning 20 percent fat content.

• This could be the most important step. After seasoning the beef with your

It quickly became clear to Dave Jackson of rural Mankato, Minn., when he first traveled to the event several years ago to compete that he still had some things to learn.

“I’d entered a pair of wood ducks in the hunting decoy division,” he said.

Understandingly, as working decoys, the counterfeit versions have to resemble the real McCoys. His pair fared pretty well, at least until they got tossed into the drink.

Holding true to working decoy’s purpose, the entries are judged as they float in the real world environment of wind-swept Chesapeake Bay. “During the judging, I looked at one of my wood ducks and it had begun to list terribly,” Jackson said. “It was embarrassing after the competition when I had to pick it up.”

Closer inspection revealed the glue he had used to fuse the body shells and which claimed to be waterproof turned out to be no match for the bay’s saltwater environment. A seam had split in the hollow duck body, allowing it to flood with water.

“I use a 3M marine glue now — the same stuff

stick to it.’” After a little experimentation, it proved to be the perfect solution to give the illusion of transparent, flexible fins.

Of course, the merganser, with its carved feathers and detailed paint, is artwork destined for the mantle.

But in Jackson’s and many carvers’ minds, the real challenge of the Ward Worlds is to be found in the Hunting Division, where creations are judged less on detail than on their ability to do what decoys are supposed to do — lure waterfowl into shotgun range.

In a world of working decoys, exquisite detail and delicate carvings are trumped by stylized features and practicality.

They must right themselves in the water, have sturdy features and durable paints, yet John Cross/Mankato Free Press have enough minimalist detail to represent a Mankato, Minn., carver Dave Jackson displays a pair of coot particular waterfowl species. confidence decoys that garnered a first place and second place “If you’re a hunter, you don’t want decoys in the recent world decoy carving competition in Maryland. upside down when you toss them out,” he said.

A $10,000 Legacy funds grant through the Southwest Minnesota Arts and Humanities Council was supplemented with $15,000 donated by local businesses, organizations and families. The city donated a crew to install the mural, and construction companies volunteered lift equipment.

Many in the community contributed to this tribute to Luverne and the area — farm fields and Blue Mounds State Park are also represented. Fortunately it is situated above a parking lot where you can stop and study the postcards. If you’re lucky, you’ll catch someone from Luverne and start a conversation on just what it all means.

Conservation tillage research continues and improves yet today USDA, from pg. 1B 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 tillage research to this day, improving techniques and adjusting to modern challenges. They have learned to harness wind energy to produce electricity for use in homes and on farms. They continue research on water conservation, taking advantage of the latest technology. Today, that means getting information on soil moisture from satellites.

It is unlikely that the Great Plains will suffer another Dust Bowl as severe as the one in the 1930s. Isolated yet significant storms are inevitable, but the conservation tillage and crop residue management techniques developed from ARS research will certainly reduce the severity of dust storms in agricultural regions.

Six nutrition research centers and four regional research centers USDA-ARS human nutrition research also changed the history of the nation and continues to do so. This research has long affected the daily lives of Americans, although the average person may not realize it.

Let’s start with breakfast: The calorie content, fat percentage and nutrient content on the label of the cereal box are required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, using ARS data that traces back to the work of Wilbur Olin Atwater, the father of American nutrition, in 1894. He began the food analysis that today is listed on food containers. He also pioneered the surveys of people’s eating habits that continue to the present.

Today, nutrition research is carried out by six ARS human nutrition centers in Arkansas, California, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Dakota and Texas. For example, definitive human feeding studies at the Beltsville, Md., center showed the health benefits of limiting trans fat consumption. This led to the FDA requiring food labels to include trans fat content and to food companies reformulating products to lower their trans fat content.

Ironically, nutrition research in the early days was directed at making sure Americans got enough to eat; today, research has to deal with obesity problems as well.

Many new products in the home — both food and nonfood — were a result of USDA-ARS research beyond the human nutrition labs. Many of these were from research efforts at four regional research centers established in 1938 to find new uses for agricultural commodities. Today, all four of these centers are designated American Chemical Society historical landmarks for specific scientific achievements.

Those centers, strategically located across the country — in California, Illinois, Louisiana and Pennsylvania — were created to help end chronic farm depression by finding new, value-added uses for surplus crops. By the end of 1940 and early 1941, research began at the centers, and many new valueadded products — still in use today — were created as a result.

ber Project during World War II — aimed at finding domestic rubber sources — research at Wyndmoor, Pa., and other USDA labs helped improve the production of synthetic rubber.

Their research was essential to the Allied victory, and remains useful to this day for producing domestic rubber.

ARS researchers developed DEET to repel mosquitoes and other pests during wartime while looking for alternatives to citronella — which was in short supply at the time. ARS also came up with techniques for making military clothing resistant to biting insects, mildew, rot and oil-based liquid chemical weapons. Other wartime discoveries included better bandages, dextran (a blood plasma substitute made from sugar beet pulp and sugarcane), and MRE (Meals Ready to Eat) food items for the military.

Many of ARS’s discoveries and techniques developed during wartime have led to peacetime uses that have extended to today.

Abundant, safe food ARS research has always had an international aspect. Perhaps the best example is the work leading up to the Green Revolution — a period of increased worldwide agricultural production.

In 1946, an ARS agronomist collected seeds of short-statured wheats in Japan. These seeds were later distributed to various U.S. wheat breeders, including a team led by ARS breeder Orville Vogel, in Pullman, Wash. The group developed high-yielding, semi-dwarf wheat varieties that were further improved by Norman Borlaug, of the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center, to avert famines worldwide.

Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle,” an exposé of meat-processing practices of the past, resulted in the Meat Inspection Act of 1906 and the beginnings of a formal food safety agency at the USDA. Although the USDA-ARS research has always had a food safety aspect, a formal national research program was created in 1997 with the Food Safety Initiative under President Bill Clinton.

Today, ARS’s food safety research includes robotic inspections of poultry and goes beyond meat to include all foods. A good example is an effort over the past decade by ARS researchers at Clay Center, Neb., and their colleagues. These scientists have been sequencing genes to find those that

USDA, from pg. 2B lactose-free milk are probably among the top food and drink products developed with ARS technology in terms of dollar value in sales,” said David Klurfeld, ARS national program leader for human nutrition.

USDA-ARS successes from research conducted at the centers also include instant mashed potatoes, explosionpuffed dehydration technology used to dry foods, and the SuperSlurper starch-based product used in making super-absorbent diapers, baby powder, wound dressings, automotive products and agricultural and horticultural products, to name a few. The list goes on: a coating to keep fresh-cut fruit, like apple slices, from browning, now available at fast-food restaurants and grocery stores; Oatrim fat substitute made from oat bran, used in ice cream and other foods to lower fat and calorie content; Sucromalt low-glycemic sweetener used in some food products to help consumers stabilize and lower blood sugar levels; soy-based fuels, inks and hydraulic fluids; and compostable bowls, cups, plates and trays.

People who wake up between cotton sheets and put on cotton clothing — whether permanent press, wash-andwear, or flame-retardant — may not realize that they are benefiting from ARS research on improving cotton quality, processing and use.

The war effort and beyond ARS researchers started shaping history immediately, and their efforts supported the United States and allies in World War II. In 1940, ARS chemists in Peoria, Ill. — at the request of Great Britain — found a way to produce penicillin, discovered in 1928, as a powder suitable for medicine. Then they found a way to produce the drug in quantity, using their expertise in growing molds in large fermentation vats. By the end of 1942, 17 U.S. firms were making penicillin pills.

Peoria researchers found a superior, more productive penicillium strain on a moldy cantaloupe from a local market. They gave that mold to the drug companies, and the companies produced enough penicillin to treat allied soldiers wounded on D-Day. The Peoria lab’s expertise and techniques have been used in developing many other products — including the food thickener xanthan gum, biobased fuels and other biobased products — and in modern genetic research.
