growing communities.

Care of the land ensures our communities’ vitality.

So, the whole community has a responsibility to care for the land and decide how we will value it.

We all value the foundations of our communities — schools, local businesses and our houses of worship. If we value these things dearly — and I think we do — should we be putting other values on our land besides simply seeing it rented or sold for “top dollar?”

I am encouraged by an increasing number of landowners who have found creative ways to reflect their values when they transition their land to the next generation. And they receive so much more than just “top dollar” for their life’s work.

They receive the satisfaction of seeing their legacy continue. They see children once again playing in the old barn. They see the community that they love and live in continue on for another generation.

They receive enormous value.

We need more farmers, not fewer farmers. In order for this to happen, we need to start talking openly about what we truly value in our land. By doing this, we can find an approach to balance all of the different ways land is valuable to us, instead of letting only one value dominate the way our land is treated.

I encourage all of us — landowners and non-landowners alike — to talk with each other about what we most value about our land. I hope you will be surprised, as I always am, at how much we all have in common.

How do you put a value on the land surrounding your community? We regularly hear from our neighbors, and see in the media, stories about the extremely high prices land is being sold and rented for these days. But those land prices only reflect one way of valuing land — its maximum productive value under current farm policy and in the current farm economy.

Surely land has a value regarding how much food, fiber or fuel it can produce. And, of course, it has the “top dollar” amount it could bring if sold or rented at auction.

But how else do we value our land?

Do you value the land for hunting and fishing? For camping and hiking?

Maybe you value land for the memories it provided in your childhood, or how your farm’s history is interwoven with your family’s history. For some, it’s their only retirement plan, and sense of financial security.

I value the land for many reasons. Of course, it allows my wife and I a way to provide an income for our family. But we also love the lifestyle it gives us.

And the bountiful, weedy gardens where our kids can pick ground cherries; the apple and cherry trees that are just starting to produce; the place where my great-great-grandparents dug a hole in the ground and called it home. And we love seeing new farmers, of all ethnicities and backgrounds, moving to our communities to farm vegetables and fruit, or do other creative things with the land.

But what value does the land have to our communities? The land has the ability to support young farm families — the next generation. The land has the ability to support vibrant and

unlikely the Southerners can derail the Stabenow-Roberts’ insurance idea.

“Count ’em all and you still only have 20 or so votes,” says one. “That’s a long way from the 41 needed to kill the bill.”

If Roberts placates the grits gang, however, other Republicans threaten.

One, Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma, labeled the Senate bill “a welfare bill.”

Another, tea party heavyweight Jim DeMint of South Carolina, called the Senate farm bill “an affront to American taxpayers” because its backers “have the nerve to tell the American people (it) saves money” when the law’s estimated 10-year cost is $969 billion compared to the current farm bill’s 10year price tag of $604 billion.

Democrat Stabenow must soothe her colleagues, too.

Her boss, Assistant Majority Leader Dick Durbin, from corn-soybeans Illinois, wants the taxpayer’s share of the Senate’s expanded crop insurance scheme capped for the biggest of the big farmers. Another, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, seeks major reforms in the sugar program.

But Stabenow, in a conference call to reporters June 13, maintained the bill would move forward, that some solution to the amendment backlog would be found and that Southern worries would be soothed.

The festivals listed on this page were submitted after The Land’s “Festivals Guide”was printed on April 27.Log on to www.TheLandOnline.com for a link to the complete “Festivals Guide.”

What the chairwoman didn’t mention was that the bill’s major “reform” to U.S. farm policy, a huge expansion of crop insurance, is neither reform nor farm policy.

Indeed, Daryll Ray’s Agricultural Policy Analysis Center at the University of Tennessee wrote another missive June 8 — that’s four in four weeks — to, again, argue that a farm policy built on crop insurance will quickly turn into a taxpayer and farmer boondoggle should ag prices fall. See links to all at www.farmandfoodfile.com.

Ray’s warnings echo predictions for the 1996 farm bill, Freedom to Farm.

That one, engineered also by Pat Roberts when he chaired the House ag committee, cost three times its projected $42 billion because what everyone said wouldn’t happen — a drop in farm prices — happened.

The Senate bill largely banks on that same hope. As such, a prudent manager might want to buy the highest level of crop insurance available. ’Course, if prices do bleed lower, that highest level will be too low to help.

Commentary: Taking another look at ethanol policy So why subsidize corn ethanol?

I grew up on a farm, and have worked with farmers all my life. As a group, they are my heroes; but, while corn ethanol over-rewards crop farmers, it penalizes livestock farmers (driving up the cost of hamburgers and chicken tenders).

It’s a wash as far as Farm Belt votes are concerned. Corn ethanol, unfortunately, is the worst farm program ever conceived because it raises gas and food prices simultaneously.

Now that we’ve discovered shale gas and oil, guess who’ll get a royalty on every cubic foot of shale gas that gets pumped up from below? Answer: The farmers who own the land above the gas. That reward may go to a different set of farmers, but they’re all equally deserving, right?

More to the point, they will all bid their own land values up until they can’t make a profit even at $7 per corn bushel.

What will Senators do to ensure their re-election then?

Automakers warn they cannot stand behind their engine guarantees at the higher blending rate.

Meanwhile, food prices have soared almost as much as gas prices and for the same reason. As we divert more of our corn from cereals and livestock feed to low-grade auto fuel, we’ve created an instant global food shortage.

The price of corn was under $2 per bushel in 2007, but has since averaged nearer to $7. Farmers are making so much money they’ve bid up their own land prices to record levels. Thus they raise their own costs to match their payments.

But aren’t we saving the planet? Nope, not even that. Producing a gallon of corn ethanol produces almost the same level of carbon in the atmosphere as burning gasoline. Moreover, instead of temperatures soaring upward, as the environmentalists claimed they would, the Earth’s temperatures have gone down since 2007.

The Arctic ice is returning, as the Russians predicted it would due to the 70-year Arctic Ocean cycle.

The Antarctic has been cooling since the 1960s. The greenhouse theory said both poles would melt as CO2 levels rose, but neither have.

The Polar bears are at least 600,000 years old, which means they’ve already been through five warm interglacials with open water at the North Pole. The seals must bask on the beaches, instead of on the ice, and the bears romp down to catch them anyway.

OPINION

THE LAND, JUNE 22, 2012

The Earth has failed to warm at all for 15 years now, and American farmers are afraid of losing the “renewable fuel” mandate for corn ethanol — which has given them record crop prices and incomes since 2007.

So, they’re proposing a new entitlement designed to ensure that they’ll never lose money again. Their proposed new federal farm bill would guarantee that farmers’ incomes don’t decline — and if future farm prices rise even more, the Feds’ guarantee would ratchet up too.

Thus, if Congress should decide the planet isn’t parboiling itself after all, taxpayers would be on the hook for even more farm subsidy than today. Forget about that federal debt problem. Everyone else can pitch in to cut government spending, but farmers shouldn’t have to. Never mind that they’re now earning more than the average American, and have far more net worth.

Bruce Babcock at Iowa State University says the new program could give farmers $8 billion to $14 billion per year, compared to the $5 billion they’ve been getting in direct subsidy payments — on top of their ethanol subsidies. If they lose the ethanol mandate, and crop prices fall, the government direct payments will get even bigger.

Gasoline prices have doubled under President Obama. Even so, the 10 percent ethanol that the Environmental Protection Agency forces into our gasoline — “to save the planet” from fossil fuels — still costs even more than the gasoline. While delivering 35 percent fewer miles per gallon.

Recently, the EPA approved mixing even more ethanol into our gas — 15 percent instead of 10.

Commentary: We’d be better off with no farm bill at all Those who know me know that I am primarily an alfalfa and grass producer. I feel good about my conservation practices. For the last 141 years my family has tried to protect the soil resource on this farm.

Your paper usually carries some conversation about the upcoming U.S. Department of Agriculture farm bill.

Knowing the politicians quoted and having been a part of past farm bill discussions, I start to ask, why do we need a farm bill?

It appears to me the farm bill is for politicians, organizations and the end-users wanting a cheap supply of food with no regard for the farmer or the environment.

Why do we need a safety net? The market needs to pay the farmer enough so he will take the risk to plant the crop. Do you really think your city cousins are going to come out and pick rocks and clean calf pens with no safety net? When my grandfather came here in 1871, he had nothing except what he could carry. He

had no safety net.

With no corn or soybean subsidies, would we see more livestock and hay crops planted and rotated? Returning manure to the soil and planting sod crops is a great conservation program. No subsidies to farmers would lead to healthier animals and a healthier soil.

Marketing loans use to be called granaries. Low-interest facility loans or beginning farmer loans are at the local small town banks today. Remember the days of Jimmy Carter’s 18 percent interest? In those days a 5 percent loan was called a gift by the federal government.

I see no need for a farm bill. Let corn, soybeans, wheat, alfalfa, radishes, bio fuels, etc., all compete in the marketplace. Let farmers rotate their crops for their benefit and the benefit of the soil.

If there is no farm bill, would the land not get planted? Would all the dirt blow away or wash down the river? Would small town banks not

OPINION

make any farm loans? Would it quit raining, or freeze in July?

If we had no farm bill, what would the politicians campaign on? What would all the government workers do?

What would farm organizations do?

Maybe we should let consumers worry about this year’s crop. Maybe

those who benefit from the farmers’ efforts should be made to respect farmers and what they do.

I think no farm bill would be better for the farmer and the environment.

Letter: Dems sabotaging marriage To the Editor: Years ago a minister, after performing a wedding ceremony, gave a little homily in which he said, “Marriage is an institution and love is blind. Therefore, marriage is an institution for the blind.”

Marriage is celebrated in every country in the world, in all religious denominations because this is the start of a new family unit, to replace us. We are not going to be here forever. The ideal family has both a mother (caring parent) and a father (protector-provider parent). I think that almost anyone who works with children, particularly troubled children, will agree.

Unfortunately, the ideal family is becoming hard to find. Many mothers work and marriages don’t seem to last as long anymore.

Now we have the Democratic Party working to downgrade marriage by allowing homosexuals to marry and come under all the present marriage laws. In Minnesota alone there are over 300 laws relating to marriage and the protection of children.

First, two men or two women in a marriage would produce zero children.

Why would they need any of the laws relating to children?

Liberace would have had a birthday a couple of weeks ago. He died a few years ago from AIDS, a disease resulting from the sex practices in the homosexual community.

Jerry Sandusky is today being charged as a homosexual pedophile. If found guilty he could go to prison.

In the name of being inclusive the Boy Scouts were told several years ago that they had to accept homosexuals as scout leaders. They had to go to the Supreme Court to be able to choose their own scout leaders.

Why then do we have Gov. Dayton’s family financing the homosexual attempt to sabotage the marriage laws of the state? I’d like to ask my friends in the Democratic Party to open their eyes to what their party is doing.

soring this rather gargantuan task was Hog Slats, a Humboldt builder of concrete hog equipment, plus the National Pork Producers Council which decided having such a burger cooked and served at Expo was a natural.

A burger that big needs a big griddle and a big sheet of aluminum foil. The 48-inch griddle weighed about 40 pounds. The 260 pounds of pork trimming were processed and provided by Hy-Vee food stores, which delivered the super burger already intact in the griddle directly to Vinsand’s gas-fired grill. That 300-pound package (burger and griddle) took four guys to “manhandle” onto his grill.

Hy-Vee purchases much of their pork products through Hormel Meats in Austin, Minn. Hy-Vee even added some of Vinsand’s special seasoning as the pork trimmings were being processed into the giant patty.

“Once you have the right equipment it’s really pretty easy to do,” Vinsand said.

About 200 people at a Des Moines-area homeless shelter also got on the receiving end of this special pork barbeque event.

THE LAND, JUNE 22, 2012

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer DES MOINES — Even though “innovation” seemed much of the focus at the 2012 World Pork Expo, so too was enjoying the many delicious pork products offered at every food vendor. Perhaps the biggest excitement came from munching on the World’s Largest Pork Burger, prepared by Gary Vinsand, proprietor of Vinny’s BBQ Restaurant of Dakota City, Iowa.

At 8 a.m. June 7, just outside the Varied Industries Building at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, Vinsand fired up his 8- by 6-foot wide grill, which for the next eight hours was baking a 260-pound pork burger. That’s right, 260 pounds of pork trimmings fabricated into a burger measuring nearly 4 feet in diameter and about 10-inches thick at its center.

By 5 p.m. this giant burger had “shrunk” to about 240 pounds because of the lard rendered (dripped out) during the 325 F cooking process. Before serving, a 40-pound bun was wrapped around the burger. When the eating began, about 700 folks had the privilege of a pork sandwich from the world’s largest pork burger.

Vinsand is no rookie when it comes to grilling big.

He did his first super burger two years ago as a promo for the Humboldt, Iowa, Fourth of July celebration. Humboldt isn’t bashful, especially when it comes to pork production and promotion.

World Pork Expo 2012 was his second effort. Spon-

Oregano used as supplement for better swine health

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer DES MOINES — Wikipedia describes oregano as a perennial herb growing up to 20 inches tall and native to western and southwestern Eurasia.

Because of the flavor of its leaves it is used as a culinary herb. Hippocrates used oregano as an antiseptic, as well as a cure for stomach and respiratory ailments. Oregano is high in antioxidant activity because of a high content of phenolic acids and flavonoids.

So much for internet information. At the 2012 World Pork Expo in Des Moines, however, oregano was getting big play from Ropapharm Americas, a Hudson, S.D., firm that markets By-OReg+, a nutrition supplement for sows.

Explained Mike Bellick, “the natural base of this product is oregano, imported from Amsterdam and grown in Turkey. We add all natural products to this oregano base including calcium and cinnamon. Cinnamon when mixed with oregano has the ability to penetrate the mucus membrane that builds up within the animal’s digestive tract.”

He said they key to their success with this new product is the encapsulation process of the oregano oil. “People have brought oregano to the market before but they didn’t perfect the encapsulation. To get the best results you’ve got to get the oregano product down into the digestive tract. We’ve patented the process which was developed by a Purdue University research scientist.”

Used with either swine or poultry rations, Bellick said the product reduces birth mortalities, produces better gains and increases feed efficiency. In Illinois farm trials, farrowing rates were 90 percent with By-O-Reg+; pigs born live were 10.87 per litter versus 9.99 in the control group and pigs weaned per sow year were 21.2 with By-O-Reg+ versus 18.91 for the control group sows.

Perhaps surprising are the feeding directions of this product. Their handout literature at the Expo indicated one to two pounds per ton of gestation ration; and only 1/2 to one pound per ton in the lactation ration. Bellick said the high concentration of oregano is the reason for the low dosage. He didn’t disclose actual cost but did suggest that this product in the ration also reduces the amount of medicine needed for either poultry or swine.

Oregano has been around for a few years as a dietary health supplement for swine. However, until this encapsula-

tion process was put into being, results were less than spectacular. Ropapharm Americas started marketing By-O-Reg+ in 2008. The biggest current customer is a Georgia poultry farm going through 70 million chickens yearly. Mexico and China are also buying the product.

Chief Executive Officer of Ropapharm Americas is Kevin Van Beek.

Interviewed at their World Pork Expo booth, he said it was the exceptional oregano oil produced by Ropapharm International headquartered in Zaandam, The Netherlands, that convinced him to go with this source.

“Yes mostly used for spice and herbs in spaghetti sauces originally. However they found it had antimicrobial properties that kill molds, funguses and bacteria. Now we’re enhancing that for livestock use and pulling back, even withdrawing drug use entirely.

It’s a new dynamic we think in healthier livestock and poultry at less cost and less residual back lash.”

The Netherland firm steam distillates the oregano leaves to extract the oil.

The two key ingredients that make the product work, Van Beek said, are carvacrol and thymol. Van Beek claims their product is more effective because the encapsulation process permits delivering the oregano to where the problem exists in the digestive tract of your livestock and poultry. ❖

Other NPPC successes shared at the 2012 World Pork Expo: • Aggressively opposing legislation being proposed by the Humane Society of the United States and the United Egg Producers that would establish standards for laying hens, setting a dangerous precedent of allowing federal bureaucrats to dictate how livestock and poultry farmers care of their animals.

• Worked with Food & Drug Administration to assure that the Guidance 209 did not eliminate the use of some animal-health products.

• Resolved a Mexican trucking trade dispute eliminating the 5 percent tariff on most U.S. pork going into Mexico.

• Challenged the proposed Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration Rule so that the USDA issued a scaled-back version.

• Achieved reauthorization of the Livestock Mandatory Reporting Act and included new provisions for pork exports and wholesale pork cuts.

• Organized a coalition to support the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a multilateral trade agreement which provides tremendous export opportunities of U.S. pork.

• Launched Keep Food Affordable, an initiative focused on educating consumers about laws that will allow producers to provide safe and affordable products.

THE LAND, JUNE 22, 2012

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer DES MOINES — Last year was a record year for U.S. pork exports with 2.3 million metric tons of pork valued at $6.1 billion. That’s an 18 Randy Spronk percent increase in volume and a 28 percent increase in value over 2010 exports.

“We are confident the U.S. pork industry can continue this momentum into the 2012 marketing year,” said Randy Spronk, president-elect of the National Pork Producers Council and a pork producer from Edgerton, Minn.

U.S. pork exports virtually travel the universe. Top 10 markets in 2011 were Japan, Mexico, Canada, China/Hong Kong, Russia, South Korea, Australia, the Southeast Asia countries, Central and South America and the Caribbean.

Good evidence of the ongoing momentum of export trade is the fact that in the first quarter of 2012, U.S. pork exports totaled 589,422 mt valued at $1.6 billion, an increase of 8 percent by volume and 21 percent by value compared with the same period in 2011.

Why the expanding markets? “Free trade agreements are the driver,” Spronk said. “Last year we passed free trade agreements with Colombia, Panama and South Korea. These FTAs when fully implemented will add more than $11 to the price producers receive for each hog and generate more than $772 million in additional export value. And according to an Iowa State economist this expansion also creates more than 10,200 direct U.S. pork industry jobs.”

Going solar makes monthly power bill ‘penny cheap’

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Remember 40 or 50 years back when Northern States Power used the radio ad tagline that electricity is penny cheap?

On May 5, Dick and Nancy Hoff of rural Sacred Heart, Minn., sent a $13 check to Xcel Energy. That was their total electric bill for April. Xcel Energy got only an $18 check from the Hoffs for March. Even in cold January with their furnace running every day and much shorter days so lights were on longer, Xcel received only a $70 check from them.

Why are their monthly electrical bills so low? You may have already guessed — they’ve gone solar.

In July 2010, L&S Electric of Springfield, Minn., installed three 15-foot-tall steel posts along the south edge of the Hoffs’ farm site. Sitting atop each post are nine SunPower Panels, each with a 230 watt rating.

Do the arithmetic and you’re looking at 2,070 watt potential for each installation, for a total of 6,210 watt potential with the 27 total solar panels.

The Hoffs certainly wrote some big checks to get the farm solar powered. It started with a $75 building permit. Next was a $250 application fee to Xcel Energy to qualify for award payments for going solar, along with a $30 “energy audit” of their 85-year-old farm house. But the big check was $62,100 to L&S Electric and their Green Energy Products division for installation of the posts and panels, plus special wiring, control panels and an “in-house” monitor that gives cumulative totals of kilowatt hours of electricity generated throughout the day.

“So lots of money at the front end but the rebates helped a bunch,” Dick Hoff said. Because Xcel Energy has been quite aggressive in getting solar power under way in Minnesota, the Hoffs received a $13,973 “solar

(My son’s) military work apparently got him interested in renewable energy. And he also got me interested so that’s how the project happened.

— Dick Hoff

rewards” rebate check from Xcel. Also, through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development Program they received an $18,630 Direct Tax Credit — 30 percent of the $62,100 — so their net cost for the entire system dropped to $29,852.

Hoff credits his son David, a 24-year Air Force veteran now retired from the military, for gently persuading the move into solar power. “His military work apparently got him interested in renewable energy,” Hoff said. “And he also got me interested so that’s how the project happened. Plus the L&S Electric guys were very informative. They do both wind and solar power. Solar seemed less intrusive, less maintenance, and offered better rebates.”

There’s a 10-year warranty on the solar panels, which are California-made and have impact-resistant glass which

handles 1-inch hail at 52 mph. There is also a 10-year warranty on the inverter unit (converts DC to AC), and a 25year production warranty on the SunPower solar panels.

“We were pleased to find out that our solar power installation didn’t increase our property taxes either,” Hoff said. The special treat, of course, is the significant reduction in their monthly electric bills. He said during the peak summer days last year their panels generated enough electricity to virtually eliminate their monthly electric checks to Xcel Energy.

“Remember this past April with lots of sunshine?” Hoff asked. “We were billed for 595 Kwhs of electricity but our solar system generated 668 kilowatt hours for a credit of 73 Kwhs or $7.30. That $7.30 credit wiped out most of the basic service charge leaving a balance of $13 to pay Xcel.

Since the August 2010 startup their solar system has generated 17,284 Kwhs. On the May 9 visit by The Land, the system had generated 30.6 kilowatts as of 2 p.m. on that particular partly cloudy day. On clear days, 55 to 60 kilowatts are doable, Hoff said, which translates into credit invoices from Xcel.

The panels are equipped with tracking technology which automatically align them directly into the sun’s rays. “In the morning they’re pointing to the East, at high noon they’re positioned directly South and by 7 p.m. and sunset, they go to sleep heading West,” he said. ❖

ture’s Rural Energy for America Program has seen great success in Minnesota by replacing old grain dryers with new, more energy-efficient models. In many cases, the higher-efficiency equipment will be more expensive to purchase than the less efficient option, but the lower operating costs of these more efficient units can often provide a payback of those extra costs in the first year.

• Clean and maintain your equipment. In an average mechanically ventilated livestock barn, cleaning and maintenance of the shutters on the exhaust fans can result in energy savings of 40 percent.

• Ask your energy supplier or utility about energy saving programs. There are several available programs for which you may qualify, through the utility or though the federal rural energy efficiency programs such as REAP and USDA’s Environmental

Quality Incentives Program. Some utilities also offer “off-peak” electric rates that can be half the cost of standard rates.

• Get an energy audit. An energy audit or assessment will tell you how much energy you’re using and what part of your operation you should target for energy use reduction. A list of farm energy auditors is available through the REAP offices by contacting Ron Omann at (651) 602-7796 or

THE LAND, JUNE 22, 2012

Running a farm takes a lot of energy — in more ways than one. In 2009, Minnesota’s 81,000 farms spent more than $700 million on transportation fuel and an additional $160 million on electricity.

Energy use on Minnesota farms and production facilities varies considerably depending on the type and size of the operation. For dairy farms, electricity is the biggest energy cost, used for collecting and cooling milk. Grain producers use significant amounts of diesel fuel to plant and harvest their crops.

University of Minnesota Extension is researching ways to improve on-farm energy efficiency. Several Extension faculty and staff have recently become certified energy auditors through the Farm Energy Auditor Training Program, and as part of the Clean Energy Resource Teams, Extension is working with utilities across the state to design incentive programs that meet the needs of farmers.

We recommend these first steps for producers who want to lower their energy use and costs.

• Replace old equipment with energy-efficient models. For example, consider replacing old livestock ventilation fans with more energy-efficient fans. The U.S. Department of Agricul-

Solar industry beginning to flex energy muscles an absorption chiller.

Solar thermal is the least expensive solar option. It is most cost-effective dollar for dollar, watt for watt. Generally it is also the most shade-tolerant solar technology. But the market is small in Minnesota and thus there are fewer incentives compared to solar electricity. However solar thermal energy is less versatile than solar electricity.

Federal tax credit incentives lessen the investment of getting into solar and wind, too. Available through 2016 is a 30-percent tax credit for residential and commercial systems. Also for commercial systems, a modified accelerated depreciation lets you whack 40 percent off the first year.

Xcel Energy has been providing a $2.25 per watt solar reward which required an energy audit to participate and a 20-year REC agreement. Beginning in 2013, Xcel is dropping that reward to $1.50 per watt. Xcel also offers additional incentives for Minnesota-made modules such as Silicon Energy and tenKsolar.

For other energy incentives Miller indicated the most comprehensive and up-to-date resource on energy efficiency and renewable energy incentives is the website www.dsireusa.org.

Because of a surge of solar energy interest, solar manufacturing is blossoming in Minnesota. Miller’s list included: • Rural Renewable Energy Alliance, Pine River • Solar Skies, Alexandria • tenKsolar, Bloomington • Silicon Energy, Mountain Iron • SolarPod, Eagan • And others (3M, Silent Power, Back Up Power Systems, Despatch, Northfield Automation, etc.).

Perhaps the 40 kW per hour Net Metering Law will be revisited also.

Minnesota adopted the law in 1981 — the first state in the nation to do so — and there are now 43 states with net metering regulations; all have higher limits than Minnesota. ❖

She asked, “How much land area would we require in Minnesota to meet the state’s electricity needs with solar electricity?” Answering herself, she said, “An area the size of Mille Lacs, or Ramsey County.” The more quantitative answer is only 0.25 percent of the state’s area. Just one California solar field equates to the 8 mgW of total solar production currently in Minnesota.

The single biggest solar facility is the Minneapolis Convention Center with 600 kW capacity, a 2010 photovoltaic installation. Miller said next on the list of major commercial installations are at the IKEA store and Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn.

As you might expect with more competition in the marketplace, the installed cost of solar is decreasing in Minnesota. According to Miller, average prices in 2010 declined 20 percent from 2009 ($10 to $7.98 per watt). Photovoltaic pricing was as low as $4.48 per watt in 2011 with reports of less than $3 per watt this year.

There are two ways to harness energy from the sun.

• Convert sunlight into electricity.

Photoelectric materials convert sunlight into DC electricity, the photovoltaic effect.

• Convert sunlight into heat. Thermal conductors can heat a fluid or air to provide heat to a building or water system. It can also provide cooling via

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Although not nearly as visible as the hundreds of giant wind turbines now dotting the southern Minnesota landscape, solar energy appears to be flexing its muscles much like the early stages of the development of Minnesota’s wind industry a few years back.

In 2002 there were only 50 solar electric installations totaling 150 kW in Minnesota; 85 percent of these were residential.

Today, Minnesota has more than 800 solar electric installations with a combined total of over 8,000 kW of electrical power. Today 70 percent of these installations are residential but they account for only 20 percent of the state’s current total solar generated capacity. The flip-side: 30 percent are now commercial projects but they account for 80 percent of Minnesota’s total capacity.

“Commercial installations are the big mover in Minnesota’s solar world and likely will be for some time,” said Stacey Miller, with the Minnesota Department of Commerce.

Speaking at a June 12 Solar Energy Workshop at the West Central Research and Outreach Center at Morris, Minn., she told the 65 attendees that Minnesota does indeed have a favorable solar resource, even in the dead of winter. And Minnesota has a tremendously big solar resource.

system, Randall points out that solar systems can be expanded, especially with micro inverters which permit adding onto existing electrical systems. Or you can start with just a simple “solar powered” hot water heater and work into a heating system for parts of the house, or the entire structure. Versatility is a key factor of solar.

Site assessment costs vary, depending upon whether it’s on a house or a commercial business and who’s doing the assessment. “I charge $200 and consider this the starting point of any solar project,” Randall said.

Once assessed, getting an installation crew on the job is a minimal time delay unless there are permitting issues with the county board of commissioners, etc. One place to find a site assessor is www.mnrenewables.org/ site_assessments.

Randall installed a 5 kW PV system on his own home two years ago. The system cost $24,000 but he received $12,000 incentive from Xcel, $10,000 from the state, plus 30 percent tax credits.

“So mine was almost free and thanks to ‘net metering’ it is now generating some income from my local utility,” he said. He installed a ground-mount, single-axle tracking system which means his panels rotate with the sun direction.

He’s excited about the future of solar.

“We’re still in the infancy of this industry. As technology keeps advancing the efficiencies of various systems and as government and industry keep plugging incentives into the formula, there’s no doubt solar will get big in Minnesota.”

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer “I believe so much in solar that I bet my livelihood by opening my own business last year.”

That’s from Scott Randall, a longtime electrical contractor in the St. Cloud, Minn., area who now operates Apex Solar. His new business both designs and installs solar units, plus he does on-site assessments, a virtual must prior to going solar.

Interviewed at the recent Solar Workshop in Morris, Minn., he sees big potential for solar energy across the board.

“Anywhere where they use process heat is an opportunity to plug in solar.

I’m working with a dairy farmer right now who is deciding on a 10 kW system. His will be a photovoltaic system but their solar thermal looks equally promising,” Randall said.

He works with a Minnesota manufacturer, RReal at Pine River, that builds thermal heated “hot houses” for tomato production year ’round.

PV systems had been costing more than thermal systems but Randall said costs on PV units have dropped considerably, so what best fits a particular customer’s needs basically determines choice. Incentives for going solar, plus U.S. Department of Agriculture grant programs, are also helpful in reducing costs.

Because interest in solar energy is rapidly building across Minnesota, he doubts incentives will stay a key driver. He noted that Xcel just recently cut their incentive package to homeowners 50 percent. But everything starts with an assessment.

Randall inspects every room in a house and he also checks tree locations and other objects that could interfere with direct sunlight. Reason for the inhouse inspection is to check energy efficiency of each room; i.e., would more insulation, better windows be advisable?

“We want to reduce the energy consumption before we install a system so we can provide the most efficient and affordable system for that particular house,” he said. He said $1 spent on conservation of energy saves $4 to $5 on your energy bill.

Randall also pointed out there is no sales tax on the purchase of a solar unit and there is no additional assessment on your property taxes with the installation of solar.

Do your research, ask questions before going solar

THE LAND, JUNE 22, 2012

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Interested in going solar? Know that a solar set-up is a large investment. A thorough analysis of system sizing, costs and benefits are essential.

“You need to have done your research and assembled a list of ques-

tions before interviewing your installer candidates,” said Erich Buchanan, renewable energy scientist at the West Central Research and Outreach Center at Morris, Minn., host of a June 12 Solar Energy Workshop.

Part of the analysis is getting information on energy inflation rates.

According to the Minnesota Citizens

League, electricity prices for the past 12 years have almost straight-line ramped up each year, averaging about 10 cents/KWh currently versus about 6 1/2 cents in 2002.

Buchanan said any financial analysis of going solar should include: • Simple payback • Returns on investment • Lifetime cost of electricity • Total cost of ownership So how big is the solar resource? The sun provides more energy in one hour than the human race uses in one year.

“So it’s not about the supply; it’s about the cost,” Buchanan said. He pointed out that Minnesota has surprisingly good solar resources, getting about 4.5 sunlight hours per day on average every day of the year.

Looking at the big picture, world energy consumption is expected to increase by about 50 percent by 2035.

The world average energy consumption is 67 KWh per day per person (four times that for America).

The average coal power plant (500 MW) produces 3.5 billion kWh per year. With 2 billion more people on Planet Earth in 35 years, if coal were the only source of this electrical energy it would mean one new power plant on line every day.

“Today solar energy is a small part of the energy mix but it will grow substantially. Minnesota has a goal of 25 percent renewable by 2025. Nationwide 37 states now have renewable energy standards,” Buchanan said.

Energy solar is an electrical product using sun energy to generate DC power with an inverter converting to AC power generally fed into the electrical grid.

In conversations with Xcel and Great River Energy, Richmond indicated these power utilities are willing to look at a revision of the current 40 kW net metering restriction in Minnesota.

“It may vary depending upon location. This is being looked at carefully and I’m confident there will be some changes,” he said.

Richmond also was an electrical contractor prior to going solar. He’s familiar with Minnesota and said this area has a much better solar climate than Washington state where Silicon Energy started its first manufacturing facility.

“Washington has a solar resource rating of 3.1 (sunlight hours per day) versus 4.5 here in Minnesota. Germany is rated a 3.1, yet solar energy is expanding very rapidly across Germany.”

Minnesota’s colder weather is a net plus for solar. Electrons flow much better, much easier in cooler weather, Richmond said. Plus the more intense heat of the southwest and west coast area is more detrimental to component parts of a solar system.

Warranties are important when spending big money for solar. Richmond said Silicon Energy has a 30year power warranty plus a five-year

RESEARCH, from pg. 16A One of Minnesota’s newer manufacturers of solar equipment is Silicon Energy which just last August started producing photovoltaic modules at its Mountain Iron, Minn., facility. Interviewed at the Morris workshop, Bill Richmond, outside sales and support for Silicon Energy, said the Twin Cities area is the bulk of solar activity for him so far Bill Richmond but rural projects are getting on the agenda as well.

“Utility grid farm applications or building applications on a mount are both compatible with our crews and equipment,” Richmond said. His firm is developing an “installer’s network” around the state with each installer getting trained in a three-hour course at their Mountain Iron facility.

“We walk them through our product, making certain they understand the components of our system. They each also do a hands-on exercise on a mockup unit so they see precisely the dynamics and the mechanics of doing a system.”

Grain Outlook Trade rumors clutter market

Livestock Angles Beef demand still a concern

Grain Angles Rains strengthen conservation talk

The following market analysis is for the week ending June 15.

CORN — The U.S. Department of Agriculture released the June monthly crop report this week which lent an initial bearish tone to the markets; however, as the week progressed cash rebounded and brought the futures market with it.

Corn found a friend in fund buying and residual support from the wheat market where China bought two cargoes of U.S. soft red winter wheat, the largest sale of U.S. wheat to China in 8 1/2 years.

The 2011-12 balance sheet’s ethanol line increase of 50 million PHYLLIS NYSTROM Country Hedging to 5.05 billion bushels was offset St. Paul by a cut in exports.

Ending stocks remained unchanged at 851 million bushels which was well above the 821 million average trade estimate. The 2012-13 balance sheet was untouched, leaving ending stocks at 1.881 billion bushels versus pre-report estimates for 1.75 billion bushels. At unchanged, the USDA is still carrying this year’s corn yield at 166.0 bushels per acre.

Since the initial crop condition report, corn in the good/excellent category has fallen 11 percent. Dry conditions in the Midwest have many questioning this yield projection, with some private estimates edging under 160 bu./acre. Michael Cordonnier lowered his yield 3 bu./acre to 161 bu./acre. There will be high expectations for the yield to decline on the July 11 USDA report.

Acreage numbers in July will be taken from the updated acreage report to be released on June 29. The quarterly stocks report will also be released on June 29.

On the world outlook, China’s production was pumped up 2 million metric tons to a record 195

The livestock markets have had a choppy start to June.

First a rally in prices during the first week and then a break in prices as we finished out the second week of the month.

After some optimism was evident in the beginning of the month with the cash trade virtually steady, the packers became more resolved to stand with their lower bids. With the futures market anticipating the possibility of weakness in the cash trade, long liquidation ensued and aided in the eventual weakness in the cash trade.

Demand continues to be a concern as once again the beef cutout reaches near the $200 per hundredweight level, retail demand slips away and the volume noticeably drops off in the JOE TEALE Broker boxed beef trade. Contributing to the negative overall market sentiment is Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. the weights of the cattle and the increased numbers available to market. This increase in available beef has also pressured the cattle market, with competitive meats still at considerable discounts to the beef market.

It will be hard on the consumer to continue to buy beef at this premium to those competitive meats with the economic conditions that exist today. Therefore, it still boils down to the supply versus the demand in this market, and currently the supply of beef is greater than the demand for beef. With the economy continuing to struggle, it would seem that we will have to see a major change in the current fundamentals before cattle prices can advance any further at this time. Producers should lock-in profits when available and use any strength to protect inventories.

The hog market which has been showing strength looks to have run into a temporary roadblock. This roadblock may have to do with the futures positions that the

Just when we thought it might not rain again this season, the skies opened up and dropped a million-dollar rain.

Some places received more rain than they wanted and localized flooding was reported. Other places experienced hail damage that tattered leaves and stunted growing crops. With the heavy rains in May that caused some serious soil erosion, the washouts and gullies only worsened.

A study in Iowa estimated that in the northwestern region of that state up to 7 tons of topsoil per acre were lost in the heavy May rain storms.

We in the Upper Midwest have taken pride in turning our fields TOM NEHER “black” before we plant our crops in AgStar VP & Team Leader straight rows, up and down the — Grain Industry hills. We may be paying a heavy Rochester, Minn. price in following this practice, as our topsoil flows downstream. Have we grown complacent in recent years, as our equipment grows ever larger, making it more challenging to work around waterways or terraces? Have the high prices for grain driven us to put more fragile ground into cultivation? These are some serious questions about practices that have long-term implications.

We have been blessed with some of the deepest and richest topsoil on the earth. When we lose that soil to erosion, we have failed to be stewards of God’s creation. This has lasting consequences for our future generations of farmers.

We grapple over succession plans for passing our farms to the next generations. We strive to do so in a manner that the business can continue successfully. As we age, we become more concerned about the legacy that we will leave our loved ones. Could it be that soil conservation should also be a part of those succession plans?

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

Informa: Corn to silk 10 days ahead of average year were increased slightly from last month.

Cash markets for soybeans were mostly steady throughout the week in spite of good weekly export sales and slow farmer selling. Weekly export sales were impressive at 15.6 million bushels for the current marketing year and 21.3 million bushels for next year. The National Oilseed Processors Association crush for May was better than expected at 138.3 million bushels versus estimates for only 134.7 million bushels.

China was back in the export news on Friday when they purchased 262,000 mt of new crop U.S. beans; however they also canceled 147,000 mt of old crop U.S. beans. The cancellation was offset by the announcement of 120,000 mt of old crop beans sold to an “unknown” buyer.

Weekly crop conditions as of June 10 at 60 percent were down 5 percent from the previous week, a larger decline than what was anticipated. Cordonnier cut his U.S. soybean yield projection one-half bushel to 43.0 bu./acre. The five states with the lowest ratings were Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas.

Informa Economics updated acreage numbers released June 15 pegged U.S. bean plantings at 76 million acres. In May, Informa was expecting 75.8 million and the last USDA number was 73.9 million acres.

OUTLOOK: Fund liquidation overcame good export sales and crush numbers this week as soybeans once again reversed direction on the week.

For the week, July beans were down 50 1/4 cents at $13.76 and the November contract declined 18 1/2 cents to close at $13.14 per bushel.

Weather is king, but European financials will also have an influence on where we go now. July beans have a range of $13.40 to $14.50 in the short run and November $12.70 to $13.50 per bushel. Good luck. ❖

Weekly ethanol production climbed to its highest level since February at 920,000 barrels per day. This is 4 1/2 percent higher than last year. Stocks fell one-half million barrels to 20.7 million barrels.

OUTLOOK: Old crop prices should remain supported as long as grower selling is absent from the market and inverses widen. The December contract will be at the mercy of weather forecasts and old crop/new crop spreading.

Forecasts will be watched carefully as corn tasseling begins and we now wait for the June 29 quarterly stocks and acreage report and the July 11 monthly crop report when many categories are expected to show adjustments.

For the week, July corn was down 18 1/2 cents at $5.79 1/2 and December corn was down 38 cents at $5.06 per bushel. Price direction is dependent on whether the eastern Corn Belt gets “enough” rain the week of June 17. Pending Commodity Futures Trading Commission approval, beginning June 25 pit trading will be extended until 2 p.m. CT to coincide with the close of electronic trading.

SOYBEANS — The monthly crop report was bullish for the soybean market this week.

The old crop balance sheet saw crush increased 15 million bushels; exports raised 20 million for a decline in ending stocks to 35 million bushels.

Ending stocks are now forecast at 175 million bushels versus 210 million last month and estimates for 189 million bushels. The 2012-13 outlook included a 10 million bushel cut in crush and 20 million fewer exports. Ending stocks fell to 140 million bushels versus 145 million last month and expectations for 143 million bushels.

On the global front, Argentina’s 2011-12 soybean crop was lowered to 41.5 mmt from 42.5 mmt last month and Brazil’s production was raised from 65.0 mmt last month to 65.5 mmt this month. Estimates for next year peg Brazilian bean production at 78 mmt and Argentina at 55 mmt.

The bearishness in the corn market soon faded when December corn didn’t fall beneath the previous week’s low at $5.07 1/2 on report day, weather forecasts were uncertain about how much rain would fall in the driest areas of the Corn Belt, and as cash markets came roaring back. Inverses in the futures markets responded by jumping to 86 cents, premium July, in the Julyto-September spread on Thursday, only to fall back to 70 on Friday.

Rumors that China bought two U.S. corn cargoes this week were unconfirmed, but whispers that someone had gotten caught short paper at the Gulf circulated as CIF values screamed higher in spite of poor weekly export sales. Weekly sales were a dismal 3.6 million bushels of old crop (a marketing year low) and only 3.1 million bushels of new crop.

As the week rolled to an end, another rumor surfaced that wiped out the week’s gains in the July contract. While viewed as unlikely, talk circulated that Brazilian corn may have been sold into the United States. If so, it has a small window for execution since some southeastern corn should be harvested in August. Corn values at the Gulf were sharply lower as a result.

Informa Economics updated their acreage estimates on June 15. They are forecasting U.S. corn acreage at 96.8 million acres versus their May estimate of 96.1 and the USDA’s 95.9 million acre projection.

Deteriorating crop conditions as of May 10 saw corn in the good-to-excellent category drop 6 percent from 72 percent to 66 percent. The five lowest rated states were Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and Tennessee. Informa Economics is forecasting this year’s corn crop will silk about 10 days ahead of average with 6 percent at silk or beyond by June 17.

By July 1, that estimate goes to 33 percent for the eastern belt and 12 percent for the western belt.

Scars from erosion are slow to heal started developing tillage equipment that left more crop residue on the soil surface.

They started farming “on the contour” and building terraces to help control soil erosion from water. With these new practices they reclaimed the “Dust Bowl.”

Two generations later, as I farmed those very fields I could still see the scars that were left on hilltops and experienced the loss of production in those areas. These are scars that heal slowly.

So if I am sounding like a granola-eating, idealistic tree hugger, you need to know that is because I am passionate about soil conservation. It is interesting to note that conservation is the root of conservative.

Could that be a Grain Angle with some staying power? Let’s keep the future generations of farmers in mind as we work toward the stewardship of the gift of God’s creation. ❖

NEHER, from pg. 18A some granola-eating, idealistic tree hugger when I mention the topic of soil conservation. Yet, I am willing to take that chance, because we are talking about a natural resource that is irreplaceable.

I will grant that I have been influenced by growing up on the High Plains and being the grandson of a man whose farm survived the “Dust Bowl” of the early 1930s. His land was also blessed with exceptionally deep, rich top soil. Yet their tillage practices left little crop residue on the surface of the fields.

This left the soil vulnerable to the drought years that caused widescale wind erosion. Once the rains began to fall and break the drought the “blow dirt” was highly susceptible to water soil erosion.

Pork product has been moving and pork cutouts have been rising despite the fact that there is plenty of pork available in cold storage.

The hog numbers have declined in recent weeks and this has forced the packers to be more aggressive in their bidding for live inventory, and thus the firm cash market.

With the discount that pork has, especially to beef, and a weakening economy, one would suspect that retailers would focus more on pork features than the other meats.

This could keep the hog market more buoyant in the weeks ahead. The seasonal pattern would point to a high sometime this summer, so producers should be prepared to protect inventories into the fall and winter markets and at the same time remain current in the marketing strategy. ❖

Milk production declines in the East; supply tightens ■ Cash butter saw the sixth week of gain, skyrocketing 8.5 cents Friday to $1.54 per pound, up 12.25 cents on the week, but still 60 cents below a year ago. Seven cars were sold on the week. AMS butter averaged $1.3679, up a half-cent.

The USDA reports that churning across the country remains seasonally active. Cream supplies are sufficient to maintain near capacity or capacity schedules but the surplus volumes of recent weeks have declined. Class II operations, especially ice cream producers, are absorbing increasing volumes of cream.

Domestic butter demand is good, stimulated by scattered retail features as low as 99 cents per pound and food service orders are steady at good levels.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed Friday at $1.2225/lb. and Extra Grade at $1.1650, up 1.25 and 4.5 cents, respectively. Six cars of Grade A traded hands. AMS powder averaged $1.1022, up 0.7 cent, and dry whey averaged 50.32 cents, down 1.3 cents.

■ The USDA reports that milk output is declining in the East, leading to a tightening of supplies. Hotter temperatures are leading to declines in Florida and fewer loads are leaving the state to find processing. Midwest production is sporadic with some areas seeing an increase in output following better weather. Other areas are seeing declines and lower component tests.

NMPF, IDFA oppose Senate raw milk proposal MIELKE, from pg. 21A order Class III milk prices and the remaining futures, the average Class III milk price for the first six months of 2012 stood at $15.70 on May 11 and $15.89 on June 8. The last half of 2012 was averaging $15.44 on May 11, $15.69 on May 18, $16.13 on May 25, $15.96 on June 1, $16.53 on June 8, and was trading around $16.50 latemorning June 15.

■ In dairy politics, the National Milk Producers Federation and the International Dairy Foods Association announced their opposition to a Senate proposal that would allow the interstate sales of raw milk.

They charged in a letter to lawmakers that doing so would “greatly enhance the chances that people will become sick because of increased consumption of unpasteurized milk.” The NMPF’s Jerry Kozak said “Pasteurization is one of the greatest public health tools.”

ous regulatory requirements for imported dairy products.

In order to ensure that U.S. companies will be able to take full advantage of those improved policies, Congress must pass PNTR and graduate Russia from the Trade Act of 1974’s JacksonVanik amendment.

“U.S. dairy exports have been blocked from the Russian market for almost two years due to ongoing dairy certificate negotiations,” said Tom Suber, president of the USDEC. “Congressional passage of PNTR with Russia and repeal of the Jackson-Vanik amendment with respect to Russia is necessary to ensure that we are able to fully avail ourselves of the strong WTO accession package negotiated by the United States with respect to agricultural trade with Russia.”

■ In the “farm bill war,” a report by Informa Economics Inc. commissioned by the IDFA shows that increased dairy exports have been driving over two-thirds of the growth in the U.S.

MARKETING Meanwhile, the NMPF and the USDEC applauded introduction this week of legislation to extend Permanent Normal Trade Relations to Russia. The legislation enables U.S. companies to expand exports to Russia when it joins the World Trade Organization this year.

Russia is expected to complete the necessary administrative and regulatory changes and thereafter to actively join the WTO this August. Those commitments include provisions relating to agricultural trade, which the NMPF and USDEC believe will yield significant improvements in tariff levels as well as in how Russia deals with vari-

dairy industry and that the available studies of the proposed supply management program in the farm bill predict it will cause a reduction in exports, even with the program’s suspension clause.

The report finds that the U.S. dairy industry has moved from a “mostly inward-looking, closed system to a market driven largely by exports and international prices.” It warned that the “frequency and severity of price spikes resulting from supply control programs could reduce long-term competitiveness” and require lower U.S. prices to continue to increase U.S. milk production.

The report reviews the results of five economic analyses of the proposed dairy supply management program and the studies have found that the government program would limit milk supply 7.5 to 46.2 percent of the time.

programs such as Average Crop Revenue Election, Supplemental Revenue Assistance Program, Catastrophic, etc.

This concept worked somewhat, as we have seen less federal ad hoc disaster programs in the last decade; however, ACRE and SURE were added in the last farm bill, and these programs are proposed to be replaced by the agriculture risk coverage program in the next farm bill. Catastrophic crop insurance continues to provide minimal insurance coverage to some crop producers at no cost to the producer, and is 100 percent subsidized by the federal government.

In 2001, the year after the ARPA legislation was enacted, there were a total of 211.3 million acres in the United States under crop insurance policies at a total insurance coverage of $36.7 billion. By 2011, that had increased to 264.1 million acres and total insurance coverage of almost $113.4 billion.

The number of crop acres under a CRC policy in 2001 was approximately 170.4 million acres, compared to 245 million acres under an RP policy in 2011. Total crop insurance premiums See PROGRAMS, pg. 24A

subsidy per acre increases at higher insurance coverage levels. The crop revenue coverage insurance policies, which are similar to today’s revenue protection policies, were introduced in 1996, in order to allow insurance protection on crop revenue (yield and price), rather than yield-only crop insurance policies.

In 1996, the average premium subsidy was about 30 percent, compared to an average of 62.3 percent today for similar RP coverage. The higher value of most crops in recent years has greatly increased the total federal expenditures for the crop insurance premium subsidies, which has increased from $1.5 billion in 2002 to $7.4 billion in 2011.

In 2000, Congress passed the Agricultural Risk Protection Act to encourage producers to purchase higher coverage levels of crop insurance. The thought behind the ARPA legislation was that if more farmers had insurance coverage levels, it would eliminate the need for expensive federal ad hoc crop disaster programs that were being passed nearly every year by Congress, following a crop disaster somewhere in the United States. It would also reduce the need for free federal government farm

Farm bill proposal calls for 50 percent subsidy PROGRAMS, from pg. 23A in the United States in 2001 were just under $3 billion, with a federal subsidy level of approximately $1.8 billion, and a subsidy rate of 59.8 percent. While in 2011, the total premiums paid were almost $11.9 billion, with a federal subsidy of $7.4 billion, and a subsidy rate of 62.3 percent.

Premium subsidy levels vary from crop to crop, and are different at various insurance coverage levels. For example, on corn in Minnesota in 2011, the percentage premium subsidy was 71 percent for a 60-percent RP insurance policy, 66 percent for a 75percent RP policy, and 49 percent for an 85-percent RP policy.

The total premium subsidy averaged $32.02 per acre on a 60-percent RP policy, $38.30 per acre on a 75-percent RP policy, and $41 on an 85-percent RP policy. The average insurance premiums paid by farmers were

$13.12/acre for 60 percent coverage, $19.69/acre for 75percent coverage, and $42.75/acre for 85-percent coverage.

See Table A and B for a complete analysis of 2011 crop insurance premium subsidies for corn and soybeans.

As mentioned earlier, the 50-percent CAT insurance coverage is 100 percent subsidized, and is provided at no charge to the producer. The average CAT insurance subsidy in the United States is about $15/acre.

The Environmental Working Group recently released results of a study conducted to analyze 2011 crop insurance subsidies paid. Their study found that 26 farm operations in the United States received over $1 million in crop insurance premium subsidies in 2011, including three operations based in Minnesota. The data showed that 10,152 farm operations nationwide received more than $100,000 in 2011

premium subsidies, which included 563 Minnesota farmers. In 2011, the total U.S. crop insurance premiums were just under $11.9 billion, with farmers paying approximately $4.5 billion, and federal insurance subsidies making up about $7.4 billion.

The EWG data showed that a significant portion of farmers receiving the total crop insurance subsidies over $1 million per year raised corn, soybeans and wheat. However, there was also a substantial number of operations that raise potatoes, tomatoes, apples, onions and grapes, which all tend to be higher valued specialty crops.

Unlike other federal farm programs, crop insurance programs cover most crops that are raised in the United States, including fruit and vegetable crops. Adequate crop insurance coverage is important to producers of all crops.

The EWG is a public interest organization, which has a strong political agenda, and is an active political lobbying organization. For the past couple of decades, the EWG has been a strong proponent of significantly stricter payment limits to producers, and has called for significant changes and reductions in federal farm programs,

including the elimination of direct payments, which is likely to occur in the next farm bill.

It appears that the EWG has now switched its farm program emphasis toward targeting crop insurance subsidy levels. For more details, refer to the EWG website at http://ewg.org.

As the new farm bill is being developed, some members of Congress, the Government Accountability Office, the EWG and other groups have called for changes and restrictions in crop insurance subsidy levels.

One proposal calls for setting all crop insurance premium subsidy levels at 50 percent, as compared to the current average premium subsidy level of 62 percent. This would increase the farmer-paid average crop insurance premiums for most crops at all insurance coverage levels, except the 85-percent coverage level.

It is estimated that this type of proposal would save the federal government around $1.2 billion per year in crop insurance subsidy costs. One question on this proposal would be whether or not CAT insurance coverage would continue to be offered at no charge to See PROGRAMS, pg. 25A

PROGRAMS, from pg. 24A the producer (100 percent subsidy). If CAT insurance subsidies were treated similarly to regular 50-percent crop insurance coverage, it would save over an additional $100 million per year.

Another proposal would restrict the total crop insurance premium subsidy to $40,000 per individual or farm operation. The higher crop value in recent years means that a larger number of farm operations would reach the premium subsidy limit, if a $40,000 limit were imposed.

The GAO estimated that 33,690 farmers would hit that limit, based on 2011 data. Based on average 2011 premiums in Minnesota, 952 acres of corn, or 1,487 acres of soybeans would reach the $40,000 limit with 80-percent RP insurance policies. This would mean that a typical corn and soybean crop operation of 1,100 to 1,200 acres could likely reach the $40,000 limit, which is certainly not a large operation by today’s standards.

Many experts fear that this type of proposal may encourage some producers to forgo crop insurance. See Tables A and B on Page 24A for more estimates.

Further proposals would restrict crop insurance premium subsidies to any individual or entity with an adjusted gross income over $750,000 per year.

Some have even suggested reducing the AGI threshold as low as $250,000.

Using a means test, such as a $750,000 or $250,000 AGI limit for having subsidized crop insurance available would set a precedence, since no other federally subsidized insurance programs have such a means test.

Using a means test may also be quite complicated and expensive to administrate. Some farm operations may be forced to change farm business structures from family partnerships and corporations in order to stay eligible for crop insurance, if this type of approach

is enacted.

Bottom line Crop insurance is not only a key risk management tool for corn, soybean and wheat producers, but also for producers of sweet corn, peas, potatoes and other vegetable crops, and newer ventures such as apples or grapes.

The crop insurance premium subsidies help keep desirable levels of crop insurance affordable for producers of all sizes, and for a wide variety of crops. Crop insurance only makes payments when losses occur due to yield reductions or lower prices, unlike the current direct payments that pay producers of certain crops every year, regardless of production or revenues.

In 2011, crop insurance indemnity payments were about 48 percent of the total insurance premiums. When critics discuss the cost of the crop insurance subsidies, they overlook the fact that the federal government receives back a portion of any insurance underwriting gains. Based on a recent study, a total underwriting gain of nearly $4 billion was returned to the U.S. Treasury from 2001-10, an amount which is not credited back to the crop insurance program.

The availability of affordable crop insurance is also important to ag lenders who are funding farm operations. Sharp crop insurance premium increases, or restrictions in access to insurance coverage, could affect availability of ag credit in the future, especially for younger farmers with a high amount of rented crop land. Continuing a solid crop insurance program for the future may be the most important aspect of the current farm bill discussions.

Referendum to increase Iowa corn checkoff to be held July 10 The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and the Iowa Corn Promotion Board announced plans to conduct a referendum on July 10 to increase the corn checkoff by 1/4 cent per bushel. The checkoff is currently 3/4 of a cent per bushel and if the increase is approved would be 1 cent per bushel.

Any producer who raised and marketed at least 250 bushels of corn from Sept. 1, 2010, to Aug. 31, 2011, is eligible to vote at any county Extension office in the crop reporting district where they live from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on July 10.

Growers who wish to vote by absentee ballot may do so by contacting the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship. Producers may call (515) 2815321, e-mail cornvote@IowaAgriculture.gov or visit the Henry Wallace Building, 502 E 9th St., Des Moines, IA 50319 to solicit an Absentee Ballot Request Form.

The Absentee Ballot Request Form must be signed and returned to the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship. The producer will then be mailed an Absentee Ballot. Absentee Ballot Request Forms must be postmarked by June 27 and Absentee Ballots must be postmarked by July 10.

The corn checkoff was last increased in 2008 to the current rate of 3/4 cent per bushel marketed. The checkoff is collected on corn that enters commercial channels but not on grain used on-farm. Producers are able to request a refund of their checkoff contribution and that will not be affected by the vote.

The Iowa Corn Checkoff was established by pro-

ducer referendum in 1977. The Iowa Corn Promotion Board, made up of farmers elected by their peers, invests checkoff dollars for research, education, promotion and market development. The maximum checkoff allowed under Iowa code is 1 cent per bushel.

For information on how checkoff dollars are used contact the Iowa Corn Promotion Board at (515) 2259242 or find out more online at www.IowaCorn.org.

In accordance with Chapter 185C of the Iowa Code, the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship is responsible for holding corn checkoff referendum votes. All costs incurred by the Department will be reimbursed by the Iowa Corn Promotion Board.

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer “Being a farm kid my Dad thought taking ag in high school would be a good thing,” said 18-year-old Rae Larsen. Turns out her father was right. The Bird Island-Olivia-Lake Lillian District student was named the FFA Star AgriBusiness winner Rae Larsen at the Minnesota FFA convention this spring.

“I’ve enjoyed my four years of ag classes, even more so the special training and events that FFA offered.

Agriculture is full of opportunities and FFA simply opens that door a bit wider,” said Larsen, who was one of four finalists in the Star Farmer competition.

The FFA program builds leadership. “I quickly learned that you can’t just sit back and watch life roll by,” Larsen said.

“You’ve got to take it by the reins and you be the driver.”

I quickly learned that Speaking of taking the reins, Larsen has you can’t just sit been a horse lady all back and watch of her young life, perlife roll by. haps because horses have been part of the — Rae Larsen family life of her parents and grandparents. Her dad, John Larsen, said Rae started riding in his lap or her mother’s lap when Rae was only 2 months old. Today the Larsen farm has a stable of 15 Appaloosa horses and Rae trains in riding skills, horse husbandry, even occasionally being hired to guide a horse trail riding experience.

How does FFA rank in her life? She lists family, friends, school and FFA at the top. “I wouldn’t trade my FFA experience for anything,” she said. “It’s been a great time. So many young people, even parents, think you’ve got to be a farm kid to participate in FFA. But not so. There are so many opportunities in agriculture.

It is a huge industry that is much more than farming.”

Larsen will be staying busy this summer. “I’ll continue to show, train and raise Appaloosa horses. I also raise Great Dane dogs and I work for local farmers so it will be a busy summer.”

How big is this horse business for Minnesota’s newest FFA Star Agribusiness winner? Pretty big.

“My horse business now stretches over Minnesota and even a few clients out of state. Dad and Grandpa started the business but I’m now continuing it, and stretching it out over more geography.”

She speaks of her clients representing a wide variety of ages and backgrounds. It being a business, she tries to not get too attached to her Appaloosa horses.

“Just do the work and do it at your best. That way when you look back you won’t have regrets. You know you did the best that you could.”

The Appaloosa is a special breed. Right off you notice the unusual colorful leopard-spotted coat patterns and striped hooves. Larsen said the breed is versatile, whether you are looking at the racing industry, the show circuit or the trail riding industry,

Buffalo wings on the grill an easy, fun dish to make Set up the grill for indirect heat, meaning you pile the coals on one side of the grill. Once the coals are 75 percent ashen, sprinkle with hickory chips.

Prior to starting the grill, wash, dry and cut the chicken wings in half, then cut off the wing tip and discard. Sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

The sauce I use is as authentic as it can be. You can also use BBQ sauce as a replacement, but the end result will be nothing like a Buffalo wing, although it would be quite delicious.

types of dogs.

The first symptoms of heat exhaustion, she said, generally are lethargy and listlessness. “They pant to try to cool themselves and can be anxious as they try to find a cool place,” she said.

If pets are outside for too long and become overheated, they can develop diarrhea and vomiting, which could lead to shock, she said.

Eckman recommends immediately taking a pet with these symptoms to a veterinarian for a diagnosis and treatment. She stresses that pet owners should not put cold water or ice packs on the animal because that makes it harder for them to cool off.

To prevent heat exhaustion, Eckman suggests providing shade and fans for pets. She also emphasizes the importance of having enough water for pets.

“Dogs cool themselves by panting, and this can dehydrate them, so they will need more water than you may think,” she said.

It’s also crucial to not overwork animals. Start slowly when exercising.

“Take breaks during exercise or play to make sure they cool down and off,” she said.

Swimming, barbecuing and experiencing the other joys of summer also means welcoming the heat. As temperatures rise this time of year, it is critical to protect pets from heat exhaustion.

No single temperature is considered too hot for animals, but temperatures in the high-80s and above can pose problems for pets, said Stacy Eckman, lecturer at Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. Generally, if it’s too hot for the pet’s owner to be outside, it’s too hot for the pet.

Each pet differs in the amount of heat it can endure. For example, cats are usually more tolerant of heat than dogs and can often find a shady place to lounge.

Overweight dogs and brachycephalic dogs, or shortnosed dogs such as bulldogs, are at greater risk of heat stroke or exhaustion, even over short periods, she said.

Dogs genetically sensitive to heat or not acclimated to the heat, such as indoor dogs, are also at higher risk. Dogs with long, thick coats as well as those with short, thin coats can become overheated.

Even dogs that routinely exercise vigorously can become overheated in the late spring and early days of summer.

“The perfect example of this is a dog who goes to the dog park on a nice, warm spring day, when they have not been all winter, and they play with a Frisbee and run more than normal,” she said.

Eckman recommends taking precautions for all

stir until the butter is melted and incorporated into the hot sauce.

Place the chicken wings on the portion of the grill which is opposite the coals. Cover, and let cook for 20 to 30 minutes. This is where the wing becomes infused with the smoky flavor.

Take half of the sauce outside and baste the wings. Now, move the wings directly over the coals and turn them frequently. Stay with it, as they will flare up pretty quickly. The purpose is to give the skin a little texture and crunch.

Once the wings are done, bring them inside and place in a bowl. Pour the other half of the sauce on the wings and toss. Do not use any of the sauce you used for basting. Serve with fresh blue cheese dressing, carrots and celery.

The recent NFL draft got me thinking of the upcoming football season, followed closely by the accompanying food.

Then it dawned on me. I have never shared with my readers one of the best finger foods ever, smoked Buffalo wings on the grill.

People take their wings seriously. If you don’t believe me, you should see some of the comments on my YouTube Buffalo wings video. Cursing, screaming (ALL CAPS) and name calling, all over a darn chicken wing. The video is at www.YouTube.com/BBQMyWay. So, if you are a purist who believes that any alteration of the original recipe eliminates the cook’s right to call the end dish a Buffalo wing, you may want to skip this week’s column.

Summer treat

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

32 A

you are heading to the North Country via HighIerd,fway 371 between Little Falls, Minn., and BrainMinn., this summer, treat yourself. I’m suggesting you stop at Belle Prairie County Park; not the Dairy Queen.

This gem of a park is on what may be the last free-running rapids in the Mississippi River.

Morrison County manages the park. They’ve nurtured a marvelous stand of White and Norway pines along the river.

They’ve also provided two swings.

Visitors can swing high above the river and listen to the rapids rush below them. Above them they can hear the whoosh of the wind in the pines. Look down stream and they’ll see the wide river split around a wooded island. Looking upstream, using some imagination, and they’ll see French fur traders in long bark canoes running the rapids. They are singing.

This part of the Mississippi is rich in history. For instance, the tiny nearby village of Belle Prairie was home to the first convent of the Missionary Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception in 1873. There is also a small pioneer cemetery at the entrance to the park.

Once visitors have completed communing with the river from their swing on the bluffs they can, if they are able, walk down one of two fairly steep staircases to the Mississippi’s edge. Here they can witness the river’s power. This is not a stream to trifle with.

Back up the staircase, across a narrow winding road, is a large picnic area under the pines. On warm days the aroma of pine needles refreshes the traveler. There are tables, a picnic shelter and a playground spread out over a large area.

There are also a number of flat, well-maintained walking trails that take walkers under the pines and out into the gnarled burr oaks that border the park.

Some trails are covered in green moss as if inviting the Queen of the Wood Elves to stroll down them.

There are no signs telling you to take your shoes off when you walk these soft mossy trails. You’ll just have to decide what the right thing to do is.

So, if you are in the North Country this summer and are feeling weary, stop at Belle Prairie park.

The mossy trails, the breeze in the pines, the rush of the rapids and the sense of history about the place will soothe you. ❖

Reel Faith Outdoors senior fishing outing has ’em hooked

THE LAND, JUNE 22, 2012

THE LAND

John Cross/Mankato Free Press

Dave Lindquist (back) and Tom Davis of Reel Faith Outdoors assist Pathstone Living residents during a fishing outing at Madison Lake.

As a young girl, she frequently fished while attending summer camp at Silver Lake and later on Big Sandy Lake.

She pulled a toy frog from her bag and propped it on the edge of the fishing pier. “That’s my luck frog. I brought it along from my frog collection for good luck,” she said.

But in two hours of fishing, even Bella’s good luck frog wasn’t enough.

Unlike last year when all of the residents caught fish — lots of small bluegills, several bass, Allen’s sheepshead — not a fish was caught during the June outing.

“I didn’t do my homework,” Davis said, gesturing to

the green-tinged water. “It looks like it normally looks in late-July. We probably should have gone to the other pier.”

But if it mattered to the gang from Pathstone that the fish weren’t very cooperative, it didn’t show.

Lined up on the public fishing pier, fishing poles in hand, they may not have caught any fish.

But perhaps for a moment, while gazing past motionless bobbers, they caught a small measure of their youth.

MANKATO, Minn. — Deaf Allen is no stranger to fishing.

For more than 20 years, she and her husband owned a cabin on Leech Lake and some pretty fair fishing was found right outside their door.

Even after her husband’s passing in the 1980s and the subsequent sale of that abode, THE OUTDOORS she still could hang her hat on

By John Cross a relative’s trailer parked near Lake Mille Lacs where a potential meal of walleye fillets was but a lucky cast away.

Time marches on and eventually, she fell out of the anglers’ fold, taking up residence at Pathstone Living in Mankato, close to friends and neighbors but far from any fishing opportunities.

Early in June, along with several other residence of the senior living facility, she once again was soaking up the sun, pole in hand, intently watching her bobber as it floated on Madison Lake.

At the other end of the public fishing pier at North Shore Park, Tom Davis and David Lindquist, members of Reel Faith Outdoors, were busy baiting hooks and casting out lines for some of her Pathstone neighbors.

Reel Faith Outdoors, co-founded by Davis and Tom Brunz, both local professional tournament fishermen, is an organization grounded in Christian faith and outdoor pursuits.

“This is the third year we’ve done this,” Davis said of the recent outing. “The residents really seem to enjoy it. They start talking about it a month before the trip and for six months afterwards. It’s a real hoot.”

Allen participated in the fishing trip last year, the first time in more than two decades since she last held a fishing pole.

Even though she managed to catch a fish last year, as a veteran angler accustomed to landing more glamorous fish, she was a bit chagrined at the species.”

“A sheepshead — about two pounds,” Allen admitted. “It was a little bit embarrassing.”

A few wheelchairs down the line, Rudolph Hummer kept the line of his spinning reel between his thumb and finger to better detect a nibble.

He was born, raised and farmed all his life along the Blue Earth River upstream from Rapidan.

“As kids, we’d go down to the river and fish for carp, sheepshead, crappies, a few walleye,” he said.

His bobber floated motionless on the nearlybecalmed lake with nary a sign of a nibble. No matter. “It’s good just to get out,” he said, turning his face to soak up the sunshine.

Bella Creel echoed his sentiments about being at the lake, uncooperative fish notwithstanding.

“Let’s see,” she said. “The last time I was fishing my boys were about ... oh, it’s been at least 35 years.”

Real recipes for real people — and they’re even healthy Cookbook Corner

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent Wander through the cookbook aisle of a bookstore lately? It’s incredible how many cookbooks and diet books are being published these days. Some show you how to cook without carbs, fats, salt, gluten or sugar (sometimes without flavor, too). Others take you to exotic locales so you can see all the ingredients you can’t possibly find in your town. Some just promise eternal good health.

So who do you trust? Surely not the blurbs that say “as seen on TV,” hmmm? Famous chefs are trustworthy, but can you cook their weird food? Do you really want to? My money is on folks who’ve been around a few years, learned what normal people like and don’t like, and are backed up by a whole lot of loyal readers. “The New American Heart Association Cookbook,” now in its fifth edition, fits that description to a T-bone. (Sorry.)

It’s all about healthy, tasty food that anybody can prepare. It has sold 3 million copies over 35 years. ’Nuff said.

With 600 recipes, including 150 new ones for the latest edition, there is no culinary obstacle you cannot overcome. My biggest obstacles tend to be in the area of inspiration, but with recipes like the ones following, you won’t have to wonder “what’s for dinner” anymore.

Slow-Cooker Dilled Chicken with Rice, Green Beans and Carrots 2 medium carrots 1 cup frozen green beans 1 medium rib of celery, sliced 1 medium onion, chopped 1 1/2 teaspoons dried dillweed, crumbled 1/8 teaspoon cayenne or 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 4 ounces each), all visible fat discarded 1 (10.75-ounce) can low-fat condensed cream of chicken soup (lowest sodium available) 1 cup water 2 cups uncooked instant brown rice In a 3 1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker, stir together the carrots, green beans, celery, onion, dillweed and pep-

per. Put the chicken on top. In a small bowl, whisk together the soup and water. Pour over the chicken. Cook, covered, on high for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or on low for 5 to 6 hours, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the vegetables are tender.

If using the low-heat setting, turn to high.

Stir in the rice. Cook for 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender.

■ Poaching is my favorite method for cooking fish, because it doesn’t require any messy breading or scalding oil or even turning the oven on. Just season up some H20, plunk in your fish, and in a couple of minutes you have fish that’s perfectly cooked and flavorful with hardly any naughty things like fat or too much salt. Fish in Crazy Water even supplies an aromatic, vegetable-laden topping for your dining pleasure.

Fish in Crazy Water 4 mild fish steaks or fillets, such as halibut (about 4 ounces each), rinsed and patted dry 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup white wine (regular or nonalcoholic) 1 cup fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth 1 medium yellow bell pepper, chopped 2 Italian plum (Roma) tomatoes, chopped 1 tablespoon capers, drained and crushed 1 tablespoon olive oil 3 medium garlic cloves, minced 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1/4 cup snipped fresh parsley Sprinkle the fish with salt. In a large skillet, stir together the remaining ingredients except the parsley. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the fish, turning to coat. Increase the heat to medium high and return to a simmer. Cook, covered, for 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness of fish, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Using a slotted spatula, transfer the fish to plates.

Using a slotted spoon, spoon the vegetables and See COOKBOOK, pg. 3B

■ Spice up your old-school fruit pizza with Gingersnap Fruit Tart, a grownup version that kids love, too. Use whatever soft fruits titillate your tongue, as long as there’s a lovely variety of color.

Gingersnap Fruit Tart Cooking spray 3 tablespoons light tub margarine 24 gingersnaps, processed to fine crumbs (about 1 1/2 cups crumbs) 1 (8-ounce) can pineapple tidbits in their own juice, well drained, juice reserved 1/3 cup fresh orange juice 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon cornstarch 1 teaspoon grated orange zest 1 medium mango, diced 1 medium banana, sliced 1 cup blueberries Preheat the oven to 375 F. Lightly spray a 9-inch glass pie pan with cooking spray. In the pie pan, microwave the margarine on 100 percent power (high) for about 30 seconds, or until melted. Stir in the gingersnap crumbs.

Press the mixture over the bottom of the pie pan. Bake for 6 minutes, or until slightly firm to the touch. Let cool on a cooling rack for about 30 minutes.

(The crust will continue to harden while cooling.)

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, make a glaze by whisking together the reserved pineapple juice (set the pineapple aside), orange juice, sugar and cornstarch until the cornstarch is dissolved. Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat. Stir in the orange zest. Let cool for about 15 minutes, or until completely cool.

Make one layer each of the pineapple, mango, banana and blueberries in the crust. Spoon the glaze over all.

COOKBOOK, from pg. 2B capers over the fish. Sprinkle with the parsley.

■ I wanted to bring a unique topping to a run-of-the-mill taco potluck, so I tried a batch of Tex-Mex Cucumber Salad.

The lime juice “cooks” the veggies a bit, making it similar to pico de gallo but with the fresh snap of cucumber. Three out of four “yums” from the Johnson gang; one of us won’t touch a cuke with a nuke.

Tex-Mex Cucumber Salad 1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced 1 medium tomato, seeded and diced 1/3 cup picante sauce (lowest sodium available) 2 medium green onions, finely chopped 2 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin preferred) 1 medium garlic clove, minced To seed cucumber easily, cut them in half lengthwise and run the tip of a teaspoon down the center. Put the ingredients in a small bowl, tossing to combine. Serve immediately for peak flavor.

■ Those gorgeous baby beets that’ll be springing up at farmer’s markets and supermarkets this summer are the perfect match for the sweet-and-sour syrupy goodness of Harvard Beets.

Loaded with All the Beneficial Nutrients in the Universe (I exaggerate a tad), beets should be eaten often.

Period.

Harvard Beets 2 pounds fresh beets, stems trimmed to 1 to 2 inches, root ends left uncut, or 2 (15-ounce) cans no-salt-added beets, drained and diced Sauce 1/3 cup fresh orange juice 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 2 tablespoons cider vinegar 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon cornstarch 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder 1/8 teaspoon salt If using fresh beets, put them in a large saucepan. Cover with water.

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a knife easily pierces the beets. Drain well in a colander. Let cool slightly. Wearing disposable plastic gloves (to keep from
