MINDS, from pg. 2A percent is three pennies on each dollar, an amount that any business or family could find in a heartbeat, but based on past performance, I don’t think our government has the fortitude. So it is up to our generation to show how it’s done using programs that benefit us.

By our generation taking a leadership role involving a mini-sacrifice and hoping that by some miracle it would catch on across the country, maybe, just maybe, other generations would sit up and take notice. If not, at least we tried and can leave this old Earth knowing that we did.

This nation is on a collision course that only some type of harsh action can stop. If those of us who spent much of our life doing our best to pay our bills with our own money can’t get out in front, I fear that no one will.

Letter: Western world selfish, ignoring God To the Editor: A response to the July 6 “Love and Marriage” column: In the United States, today’s lukewarm waters of freedom of speech and religion, without vigilance, will become the frog’s boiling waters of tomorrow’s dictatorship.

Jesus taught us to love everyone, but we also have the right and responsibility to defend our religion when it is under attack. When the Jews in the Old Testament ignored God, they went into captivity.

Today Western civilization is ignoring God, and doing selfish things for personal pleasures — contraceptives, abortion, homosexual acts. This type of soci-

OPINION

ety is not sustainable.

The Bible does clearly condemn homosexuality (1 Corinthians 6: 9,10; Romans 1:27; Leviticus 18:22).

Yes, the Bible is open to interpretation, or more accurately mis-interpretation if done without the church’s almost 2,000 years of experience to guide us. There was just one Christian denomination for 1,500 years.

When homosexuals require people who morally disagree with their actions to pay for the resulting medical costs, then that is special treatment not equal treatment. Please vote yes on the marriage amendment in November.

Letter: March to equality Letter: Clearly stated, To the Editor: but not politically correct I just wanted to thank assistant editor Tom Royer for his courageous column in the July 6 edition of The Land. I hope I am wrong but I doubt his feelings are a reflection of the majority of your readers, and unfortunately prejudice and fear usually do not respond to wisdom and reason.

All minorities and women have had to win their rights one step at a time and the process has often been painfully slow. I have no doubt that at some point in the future the LGBT community will obtain at least a reasonable resemblance of the equality most of us take for granted. And when that happens it will be because of people like Royer who have the courage to speak out and continue to fight for each little step in the march to equality for all.

The Trailers We Have Come With All Standard Features

To the Editor: Regarding The Land assistant editor Tom Royer’s column on Love and Marriage (July 6 issue), he states that “… there is very little the Bible ‘clearly’ states about anything.”

In Romans 1:26-27 the Bible states, “Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.”

Mr. Royer, that sounds pretty clearly stated to me.

Does it sound politically correct? Definitely not.

Apparently God didn’t ask for anyone else’s opinion when He wrote it. However, does this give those of us who believe what the Bible says permission to hate or belittle homosexuals? No. It is not even our place to judge them. That is for God to do.

No way to duck ‘ginormous’ crop insurance disaster Illinois Extension economist, July 11.

Many on Capitol Hill are quick to point out that “If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it’s a duck.”

In fact, writes Schnitkey on the U of I farmdocDaily website, if 2012 Illinois corn yields are similar to those of 1988, the last major drought, or about 105 bushels per acre, then 2012 “harvest price would be $7.40 per bushel, resulting in a $318 per acre insurance payment.” (Link to all source documents at www.farmandfoodfile.com)

What they never add is that this little blinding glimpse of the obvious has never stopped legislative quackery in the past and it’s not stopping it now.

For example, as you read this, 2012 crop insurance payouts are likely growing by $1 billion or more per week because of the spreading drought in the corn-soybean Midwest. The disaster means short crops, tall commodity prices and certain-to-rise food prices.

Additionally, nothing in current crop, weather or government stocks reports show any evidence of retreat.

Indeed, on July 11 the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s World Outlook Board dropped 2012 estimated U.S. corn yields 12 percent and cut soybean yields nearly 8 percent because of the “rapid decline in crop conditions.”

Even if the weather moderates, commodity and food prices likely won’t because on June 1, the Commodity Credit Corp., the USDA’s commodity warehouse manager, reported the government cupboard bare as Mother Hubbard’s.

Indeed, according to the CCC, there is not one teaspoon of sugar, one pound of peanuts, one slice of butter, one wheel of cheese, one bushel of wheat or even one chickpea in the USDA’s pantry. The CCC has nothing — nada, zip, goose egg — to release into the marketplace to slow or moderate what’s certain terrific bargain: taxpayers picked up $7.4 billion of How big is ginormous? to be fast-climbing food prices in the coming months. last year’s $11.9 billion national cost — the program “If the current drought in Illinois and Indiana doesn’t insure crops; it insures crop revenue.

Some exotics don’t attract much attention. Vogel said it depends on the audience. “When you get something really unusual that they have never seen, you’d think people would be in awe. But sometimes they could care less. If they don’t know what it is, they just don’t care.”

A miniature horse weighing only about 360 pounds was getting lots of attention at the Winthrop event. Vogel is down to just one miniature, having sold a couple last year because they were biters. That’s not good when children are crowding the pen.

Tour: Morrison County throws beef into lakes, dairy mix

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer When you think Little Falls, Minn., and Morrison County, first thoughts would be fishing and dairy cows. There are a lot of lakes and over 25,000 dairy cows in this county which gets bisected by the Mississippi River.

Ted Reichmann It’s also home to the 52,831 acres of sprawling Camp Ripley, Minnesota’s state-owned military training site, as well as the historic Lindberg State Park. Center pivot irrigation systems have sprouted throughout the “lighter soils” areas.

This county also claims a beef cow population of over 15,000 which includes several prominent beef breeders and perhaps the only “custom ranching” operation in the entire state. (See Page 17A) Participants in the July 10 Minnesota State Cattlemen’s Association Summer Beef Tour and Trade Show enjoyed a diversified agenda wrapped up with a delicious barbecued steak supper served in the display building at the county fairgrounds.

“Morrison County is strong in dairy, beef and poultry. Its agricultural wealth surprises virtually

everyone,” said former MSCA president Ted Reichmann. Gold’n Plump broilers are big in this area so huge broiler houses, many the older “two-story” version, abound throughout the county.

According to 2011 U.S. Department of Agriculture statistics, Morrison County ranks No. 3 in livestock receipts and No. 3 in cattle population (both dairy and beef). Not surprisingly, it also is the third-ranking county in alfalfa production. Current farm numbers are 1,867.

Reichmann said the MSCA deliberately schedules the summer tour in different areas of the state to give producers and vendors a “bigger look” at the scope of Minnesota’s beef industry. It also makes the tour available to more producers, regardless of their locations.

Public land for grazing There’s quite a bit of public land in Morrison County, more as you move west and north across the state. Perhaps contrary to public opinion, the Min-

nesota cattle industry is gradually gaining grazing access to more and more of these state and federal lands.

“Even though government wheels traditionally turn slow, we’ve been getting very positive results on grazing areas opening on many of these public properties,” Reichmann said. He compliments both the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service for working with the cattlemen on accessing these lands. More recently, there’s been a significant cooperative attitude within the ranks of the privately-held conservation groups such as The Nature Conservancy.

The bottom line in this new attitude is significant evidence that grazing these lands cleans up “junk” vegetative species, which actually improves these acres for wildlife habitat. The cattle are fertilizing the soils as they graze, as well, so it appears to be a win-win scenario. “It’s a positive spin for the livestock, the communities, the wildlife and the environment,” Reichmann said.

Minnesota has about 2.5 million acres of grazing land. About 10,000 acres of DNR land is currently under contract to Minnesota livestock farmers.

How do cattlemen find out about these parcels? He said often a sign is posted alongside one of these

Feedlot expansions seen in southwestern Minnesota He hedges just a bit saying that it depends upon where you’re at. He said cow-calf guys are doing quite well but the feedlot side is much tighter; maybe even some red ink due to the fast increase of corn prices. The finished market is not reflecting these higher feeding costs. However, sharp operators secure their feed needs before putting new critters into their feedlots.

He said the slight increase in the U.S. dollar is tightening up beef exports to a degree. But with the loss of the finely textured lean beef market we are now importing more of that type of product. Unfortunately, that issue produced significant damage to the U.S. beef market that likely won’t be rectified for many months, he said.

The Reichmann operation involves dairying, back grounding feeder cattle, finishing feeder cattle and developing dairy heifers. He’s concerned about feed supplies ahead. Already there has been a significant uptick in the hay market and without a significant rain period, he knows total feed issues will only worsen as the season progresses. ❖

Reichmann thinks these lands are best suited for beef cows but he said a producer in his area is grazing dairy heifers and dry cows on a public lands parcel. Even sheep and goat producers should be aware of these potential new opportunities for summer grazing land.

Grazing costs pretty much depend on the parcel, and the landowner. “It might be simply a matter of putting up a fence in exchange for grazing privileges.

Highland cattle a hardy breed

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Sporting a reddish brown hair coat, stylish curled horns on the males and a kindly/curious face with hair just about covering the eyes, Highland cattle — also known as Kyloe — have created some excitement at Larry and Cindy Sassen’s Little Falls, Minn., beef farm.

“They’re very hardy,” Larry said of this Scottish breed. “You don’t need buildings so people raising their own beef find this is a breed that’s easy to work with. In the winter, their hair coat grows up to 6 inches long, plus they grow a secondary coat that is almost like sheep’s wool, so even in February there is only a quarter inch of fat between the hide and the muscling.”

That extra long hair coat makes a spectacular “throw rug” if you tan it in February after a full winter season of growth.

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

As you might expect, Sassen is high on the carcass quality of his cattle. “We butchered a steer this spring and its marbling content was comparable with Angus and Hereford carcasses. We used to spray the fry pans so the steak wouldn’t stick to the

iron, but that’s not necessary with my Highland beef. There’s more than enough marbling.”

Sassen’s herd currently numbers 87 critters. He’s getting interest from producers getting into grass-fed beef with rotational grazing. Somewhat unusual with the Highland breed is the wide range of market finish. “A Colorado breeder talking at our national convention told us Highlands can be ‘ready’ at 800 pounds, and some aren’t ready until 1,200 pounds. The genetics apparently gives that variability.”

He’s been in the cattle business since 1977, moving up from the Roseville, Minn., area. They call their beef operation Boulder Meadows Highlands with intentions of selling breeding stock — both bred heifers and bulls. They also finish out a few head each year for selling to “country folks” who like to slaughter and process for their own household use, plus retail to customers who appreciate the flavor of the Highland beef. ❖

Gelbvieh getting a toe hold Dean Swenson’s 30 Gelbvieh cows are really a center of attention at his farm near Little Falls, Minn.

“They’re still a new breed to most folks. And after selling my dairy cows in 2009, this is a much easier, and I think a more rewarding, business,” he said.

The driving interest in the Gelbvieh breed is crossbreeding, Swenson said, because they are a fast-maturing breed with early puberty and good maternal traits. “They’re very easy cattle to work with,” he said, noting that they don’t have any issue with the sub-zero temperatures and challenging blizzards occasionally dished out by Mother Nature.

Mature cows of this native German breed weigh in at about 1,100 pounds. Swenson sells bulls saying the Gelbvieh is a good cross on the British breeds. The cows do well on his grazing land.

Beef’s Eustice retiring; ‘I’ve been very fortunate’ of Agriculture to use mandatory irradiation of their tropical fruits. Wherever I travel on these missions I sense the concern of these countries about building export markets to help feed our burgeoning world population. Various countries were coming to the USDA asking ‘What do we need to do?’

“A good example is our rapidly expanding Hispanic population here in America. Thanks to irradiation campaigns in Mexico, these folks can now buy guavas grown in Mexico and shipped to the United States.”

There’s little doubt that Eustice became the flag bearer for developing irradiation campaigns in Minnesota.

“I’ve had tremendous support from the medical community here in Minnesota, specifically Dr. Michael Osterholm and Dr. Harry Hull, both Minnesota state epidemiologists. And I’ve been very fortunate that our Minnesota Beef Council Board of Directors has also been supportive.

“As a result of these efforts two major food purveyors, Schwan’s and Omaha Steaks, now sell only irradiated beef and have done so for seven See EUSTICE, pg. 15A

example of transfer of technology.”

Today Uruguay is one of the world’s leading beef exporting nations. Eustice noted cell towers now dot the countryside. Cattle and sheep are even sold via text messaging.

Irradiation “Technology is the springboard of agriculture wherever I travel. And one of the quicker adapters today is Korea, a country I visited in early June speaking at a food safety conference hosted by the Korean government.”

These food safety events in foreign countries cost the Minnesota Beef Council nothing, yet almost always they generate more interest in beef consumption. “Korea, like many other Asian countries, has a strong interest in food irradiation and is now rapidly moving this technology into both meats and tropical fruits. They want to eliminate the risk that some bug, some nest would ‘hitchhike’ on a mango or papaya and infest our fruit production areas. Irradiation is rapidly becoming the preferred method to disinfect tropical fruits.

Cautiously excited about beef industry’s future 125-pound beef calf transitions into a 1,200-pound USDA Select market animal.

‘Pink slime’ Reflecting on the “pink slime” episode which created tremendous market havoc for both processors and retailers, Eustice’s contempt is evident.

“We’re talking Lean Finely Textured Beef which has been included in ground beef for 20 years,” he said. “This is a wholesome, nutritious product.

Absolutely no health concerns have been identified in connection with this product.

“The inclusion of LFTB in ground beef — no more than 15 percent and usually less than 10 percent — makes use of quality beef that would otherwise go to waste. The beef industry estimates that discontinuing the use of LFTB would require an additional 1.5 million head of beef cattle to be slaughtered each year, and would raise the price of ground beef by approximately 20 percent.”

Eustice said about 600 people lost their jobs and three processing facilities closed after the topic hit the national media. He said it’s a shame that critics of modern agriculture are looking for every opportunity to disparage farming and modern technology.

“They apparently are deaf to the reality that this world will have another 2 billion people to feed by 2050. We will have less land. This tremendous demand for more food simply has to come from advanced technology. This idea of patches of organic food production around the world to help feed the world is pure nonsense,” Eustice said. ❖

Korean Kobe beef sourced by a Minnesota cattleman who has developed his own niche market. Because Korea had an outbreak of hoof and mouth disease, it cannot export beef into the U.S. market.

Beef’s future Eustice is excited about the beef industry’s future, especially for young farmers with the knack and ambition to gear up on technology and timely marketing strategies. But he’s cautious, too. Escalating grain costs are a huge challenge but thanks to better genetics and improved management tactics, producers mostly get top prices for their cattle.

“And most important, people are eating beef and liking it more and more.”

He credits the checkoff program for the research and marketing of new beef cuts such as the flat iron, petite tender and ranch steaks that have captured new converts to the eating qualities of beef.

“But what we have to do going forward is a better job of educating the public about modern farming practices, including the production of their food.

There is way too much outright ignorance about U.S. farms and ranches. Ours is a wonderful story to tell.

Through the Minnesota Beef Council we are now doing ‘info education’ workshops for dietary managers, dietitians and other health professionals.

These one-day workshops are tremendously quick and convenient updates on what’s going on in the world of modern foods,” Eustice said.

Each workshop includes a visit to an area livestock producer for “hands-on” education on exactly how a

EUSTICE, from pg. 13A years. They haven’t had a single recall or a single food safety issue. It’s a tremendous story and we now have some retailers getting into irradiated meat products also.”

Eustice mentioned many pet foods are now being irradiated because of concerns for salmonella. The irradiation process also doubles or triples the shelf life of these products, depending upon dosage.

Korean ag Relating to the technology adoption pace around the world, Eustice said Korea is one of the most advanced countries today. “You see technology everywhere. Their agriculture is extremely advanced.

They have a huge population but not much land area for growing crops and raising livestock. Korea is a very mountainous country. So you see crops being grown on every little parcel of ground available.

“Korean farmers are good and getting better. They get high yields. They’ve got a significant export market as a result of their skills. Not only do they now very adequately feed themselves, but they’re helping to feed the world also.”

Because of their economic prosperity, what they can’t grow for themselves they buy. Korea today is one of the five major markets for U.S. beef. Within their own livestock ranks, the Holstein/Friesian breed dominates, for both milk and beef production.

Eustice is particularly impressed with Korean Kobe beef with both red and black hair coats.

“These animals are extremely heavily marbled. It’s some of the best-tasting beef I have ever enjoyed. It sells domestically to Koreans who can afford it for two to three times the price of imported U.S. beef.”

He doubts if any Minnesota food stores are carrying this fancy but pricey Korean beef. But he is aware of a few Twin Cities restaurants that occasionally feature

Dvorak said the fabric structures (hoop) are more cost effective in the bigger buildings, especially as you get into wider structures, when compared to steel and wood structures. “You really need to sit down with your potential farmer customers and do the pencil work. Our ‘natural light’ fabric structures are manufactured in Jordan, Minn. We do a one-year warranty

The Greystone warranty covers up to 2-inch hail. Keeping the fabric roofing tight minimizes hail damage simply because hail stones deflect off the fabric.

Winches are provided for the sides of a hoop barn for keeping the fabric tight. You can torque them with a simple torque wrench.

The firm offers a maintenance package which provides for a company representative to periodically inspect the building. Even small holes are readily patched as part of this service.

For a rule of thumb estimate, figure about $12 per square foot for a hoop structure. All work is done by Greystone’s own crews, eliminating working with sub-contractors.

Custom ranching in Minnesota done the western way

Cows are mostly owned by southern Minnesota cattlemen who don’t mind paying someone else to take care of their cows and calves during the grazing season so they can pay full attention to growing corn and soybeans.

That’s where Travis and Jamie Scott, chief cow hands at Rolling Thunder Ranch, come in.

Jamie Scott

It’s not “western” like it used to be but Sam and his helpers like to keep the ranch as western as they can. Predators used to be a serious issue at the Rolling Thunder but not so much now. “We used to have trouble with wolves, even coyote packs. But the past couple years have been great.”

foot rot, pneumonia flare ups in the young calves if you have a cold, wet spring. Flies are an everyday nuisance so we provide fly tags plus mineral blocks with fly control medication.

“Of course 7,000 acres involving several different pastures, different pieces of ground, means fence maintenance is nonstop. If it’s not wind knocking down a tree on a fence it can be deer or black bear. Those critters don’t pay much attention to fences.”

Thanks to “dart guns” they don’t need to dismount to vaccinate their critters.

“And the last thing a sick critter wants to do is be chased around the pasture.

Dart guns fired from the saddle are a great time and commotion saver.”

Being a Minnesota cowboy is just about a perfect job,Travis said. The utmost care is given to all the animals at the ranch.

“Our job as cowboys is to keep them all healthy so they can do their job.” ❖

Summer lawn care needs special consideration conserve water. Most lawns in Iowa require 1 to 1 1/2 inches of water per week. When watering the lawn, apply this amount in a single application or possibly two applications three or four days apart. Avoid frequent, light applications of water which promote shallow rooting and lush growth. Lush, shallow-rooted turfgrass is less drought-tolerant. It is also more susceptible to pest problems. To determine the amount of water applied by a sprinkler, place two or three rain gauges within the spray pattern.

Early morning (5 to 9 a.m.) is the best time to water a lawn. A morning application allows the water to soak deeply into the soil with little water lost to evaporation. When watering is completed, the turfgrass foliage dries quickly. Watering at mid-day is less efficient because of rapid evaporation and strong winds may cause uneven water distribution. Strong, mid-day winds may also carry water onto driveways, sidewalks or streets, wasting considerable amounts of water. Watering lawns in late afternoon or evening may increase disease problems.

Do I need to water my lawn in summer?

Gardeners have two basic options when confronted with hot, dry weather. One option is to do nothing and allow the grass to go dormant. The alternative is to water the turfgrass during dry weather to maintain a green, actively growing lawn.

Cool-season grasses, such as Kentucky bluegrass, can survive long periods of dry weather. In dry weather, the shoots of the turfgrass plants stop growing and the plants go dormant.

Dormancy is a natural survival mechanism for turfgrass. While the leaves have turned brown and died, the turfgrass roots and crowns remain alive.

Generally, Kentucky bluegrass can remain dormant for four to six weeks without suffering significant damage.

Cool-season lawns are at risk of dying if dormant for more than six weeks. To ensure the survival of dormant grass, apply 1 to 1 1/2 inches of water in a single application to lawns that have been dormant for six weeks.

Water again seven days later. The grass should begin to green up after the second application of water.

If homeowners decide to water their lawns, proper watering practices help ensure an attractive, healthy lawn and

Horticulture specialists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach answer homeowner questions about summer lawn care.

What is the correct mowing height for a lawn in summer?

Kentucky bluegrass and other coolseason grasses thrive in the cool weather of spring and fall. Hot, dry conditions in summer are stressful for cool-season grasses. Kentucky bluegrass lawns should be mowed at a height of 3 to 3 1/2 inches during the summer months.

Bluegrass lawns should be mowed at a height of 2 1/2 to 3 inches in spring and fall. The additional leaf area during summer shades and cools the crowns of the turfgrass plants. The higher mowing height also provides more food-producing foliage and promotes deeper root growth.

When mowing the lawn, never remove more than one-third of the total leaf area at any one time. Removing more than one-third of the leaf area severely injures the turfgrass plants and reduces their ability to withstand additional environmental stresses.

Should I fertilize the lawn in summer?

Do not fertilize Kentucky bluegrass and other cool-season grasses during the summer months (June, July and August). The best times to fertilize cool-season grasses in Iowa are spring,

Answers to falling leaves, losing bark and sawdust Iowans are noticing changes in their trees this summer and asking Iowa State University Extension and Outreach horticulture specialists about symptoms that may indicate stress or decline in the health of their trees.

Why is my birch tree dropping leaves?

The loss of leaves is probably due to hot, dry weather or Japanese beetle feeding.

The hot, dry weather in recent weeks has been stressful to trees.

Some trees, like the river birch, cope with the hot, dry weather by shedding some of their leaves. Leaves in the interior of the river birch turn yellow and drop to the ground. Healthy, wellestablished trees should not be seriously damaged by the hot, dry weather of recent weeks.

The hot, dry weather poses a more serious risk to trees in poor health and those planted in the last three to

five years. Recently planted trees should be watered approximately every seven to 10 days during dry weather.

Japanese beetles feed on more than 300 different plants. Some of their favorites are linden, elm, birch, pussywillow, cherry and some crabapple varieties. Japanese beetles eat the leaf tissue between the veins, leaving lacylooking or skeletonized leaves. The skeletonized leaves turn brown. Many of the damaged leaves drop to the ground.

Defoliation of well-established, healthy trees is usually not fatal. Defoliation is most harmful to recently planted trees (those planted in the last three to five years) and trees in poor health. A thorough watering every seven to 10 days during dry weather should help young trees cope with the loss of their foliage.

bark. Is there something wrong with the tree?

Shedding bark on some trees is a completely normal development. The bark of most young trees is smooth and thin. As the tree grows, the bark layer thickens with the outermost tissue eventually dying. Continued growth pushes the bark outward, sometimes causing the outer layers to crack.

On some trees, the outer dead layers peel and drop off, revealing the inner layers of bark. Shedding or peeling bark is characteristic of trees such as sycamore, redbud, silver maple, paperbark maple, shagbark hickory, birch and lacebark pine.

The grayish brown bark on a large sycamore tree, for example, flakes off in irregular blotches, revealing a cream or whitish-gray inner bark.

The loss of the outer layers of bark on sycamores is completely normal.

There is a pile of sawdust-like material at the base of a large tree.

What could be the problem?

It’s likely the pile of sawdust-like material was produced by carpenter ants.

Carpenter ants commonly nest inside older, hollow trees or in trees with dead limbs or branches. Carpenter ants do not eat wood. However, they excavate some of the soft, decaying wood inside the tree to form their nest cavity. The sawdust-like material is often deposited in a pile at the base of the tree.

Carpenter ants do not seriously harm trees. However, extensive wood decay weakens a tree and makes it more susceptible to storm damage.

Sharp family trip from long ago was about

21 A

In July and in the midst of the vacation season, cross-country family vacations now are done in the comfort of an air-conditioned vehicle speeding along a smooth interstate highway.

Arguably, the biggest challenge might be dealing with backseat inquiries of “are we there yet?”

But when Paul Sharp, a railroad man living at 313 Nicollet Avenue in North Mankato, Minn., decided to

take his wife, three kids and her parents on a threeweek adventure to see Yellowstone Park in July 1929, things were dramatically different.

Paved roads were yet a rarity and virtually nonexistent beyond any city limits, and even short trips into the country were an adventure.

Roads rarely were the shortest route between points. Rather, they often were meandering affairs

that wound through the countryside following a path of least resistance.

And the cars themselves — the Sharps owned a ’20s-vintage Hudson touring car — were primitive and cantankerous.

CROSS, from pg. 21A Accommodations were limited, usually consisting of campgrounds along the route. And in an era long before lightweight instant-up tents, setting up camp each night after a long day of travel involved erecting a heavy, military-style wall tent and other primitive camping accouterments of the day.

The entire cost of their 21-day adventure was $270, a bargain by today’s standards but a tidy sum when compared to the $2,300 annual income for the average American family in 1929.

The excerpts above and on Page 23A are taken from the meticulous daily records kept by Sharp’s wife, Mabel, as his family made a pre-Depression, 2,700-mile road trip through the Black Hills to Yellowstone Park.

After reading the daily accounts, it’s easy to understand how the free cold water that Wall Drug began offering to travelers in 1936 was such an attractive enticement for early travelers as they bounced along U.S. Highway 16 across sun-baked South Dakota on their way to the Black Hills and beyond.

The journal and photos were made available by Pam (Sturtz) Swanson of Clear Lake, Iowa, who is Paul Sharp’s grand daughter via his daughter, Caroline. Sharp died in 1979.

Prepare your pets for emergencies with a ‘go bag’ It’s 5:30 p.m. and you just got home when there is a knock at the door. It is a local law enforcement officer explaining that you have 15 minutes to evacuate your family and pets from your

home as a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed close to your property.

Deb Zoran, associate professor and member of the Veterinary Emergency Response What could you grab in your house in Team at the Texas A&M 15 minutes that is necessary for your College of Veterinary Medifamily and pet’s livelihood? cine & Biomedical Sciences, presented the previous example and asked “Could you gather up your personal documents, your pet’s rabies documents, your pet’s food, enough clothing and personal belongings for yourself in 15 minutes and not forget anything?”

To ensure nothing is forgotten, Zoran recommends a preparedness plan for family and pets in case emergencies or natural disasters occur. She said this plan should include discussing locations for evacuation, meeting sites in case family members are separated or cell phones do not work, and who is H I G H S T E E L I N S E RT taking care of the pets. ® IN 20’ ARROW FRONT FEEDER Zoran strongly encouraged not leaving a pet in an emergency situation.

“Rule of thumb that pet owners should always use is that if you are evacuating, take your pet with you.

Don’t assume that you will be able to come home to take care of them because you probably won’t,” she said.

Zoran suggested people prepare a “go bag,” a little bag that is packed with enough clothing, medicine, food, water and other necessities. This bag should also include LARGE BALES IN A 30’ important documents such as IDs and cash TA N D E M A X L E A R R O W F R O N T ® F E E D E R in case power is out at ATMs and banks.

“The other thing that needs to be in your ‘go bag’ is a little stash of cash because otherwise you may not be able to pay for gas, food or anything if something truly monstrous occurs where the power shuts off,” she said.

There should also be a “go bag” for pets as well. Zoran said this should include their carrier, leashes, food and water. For cats, this would also include a litter box and litter. As with people, the “go bag” should include the pet’s vaccination and medical records in addition to identification documents in case of separation. Zoran said this would include information about micro chipping or photographs of the animals.

For both humans and pets, Zoran said the “go bag” should contain supplies for three to five days.

Remember, the emergency situation is not always a train derailment. Other disasters may include hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires and earthquakes. A preparedness plan can help in all emergencies and natural disasters.

“The truth of the matter is preparing helps you think more logically and clearly because you know what to take and where things are,” Zoran said.

Zoran said that all disasters are different so it is important to be able to adapt to the situation.

“The (preparedness) plan works until disaster hits and then what do you do?

You adapt to the situation. ... If you have a plan and an idea, it is much easier to adapt,” she said.

The Leader In Feeders!

Famous for minimum feed waste!

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey unveiled the free Iowa Farmers Market app for smartphones that is designed to help Iowans access the more that 230 farmers markets serving Iowans across the state.

The app is available for both iPhones and Android phones and allows users to find the farmers market closest to them by using GPS location services or to search for specific farmers markets by city or zip code.

Once they have located a market, the user can view the hours of the market, browse a list of vendors and see a phone number and e-mail address of the market manager. App users can also leave reviews of the market and

vendors and upload their photos to share with others.

The app is free to download and is available through Apple’s App store and Google Play by searching “Iowa Farmers Markets.” The app for android phones can also be found at http://tinyurl.com/8ys7brf and the link for Apple devices is http://tinyurl.com/6oyjygu The app was developed for the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship using funds from the USDA Specialty Crop Block Grant Program. Grant funds are targeted for projects that enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops that benefit the entire specialty crop industry. ❖

Dear Nic and Stephanie, and all those who are currently making wedding plans: In part you know the patterns, personality and idiosyncrasies of your future spouse, but after the vows are spoken, for better or for worse, you will know fully. Then you’ll be faced with a choice. Will you stay dedicated to your promise?

Within his book, “Making Life Work — Putting God’s Wisdom into Action,” Bill Hybels writes, “Some of us will have to work harder than we ever dreamed; all of us will discover that there are no shortcuts to marital growth. It almost always takes more time, more sacrifice, more tears, more compromise, more prayer, more humility and more maturity than we anticipate.”

Are all the “mores” that are tied to marriage worth it? More than you can possibly dream! We’re so happy for you.

Congratulations and God bless.

How do newlyweds and empty nesters and all those in between battle the statistics? Here’s an option that Mike shared with me when we were dating: “If we get married, divorce is not an option.” Your immediate response to his bold statement may be that it feels like a threat, but quite honestly, after we’ve had a heated debate, it’s a huge comfort. No matter what, we’ll work through this because divorce is not an option. Period.

Too many couples treat their wedding vows like a rental agreement that comes and goes, instead of a lifelong commitment to stick to your promises.

Sexuality researcher Alfred Kinsey, who studied 6,000 marriages and 3,000 divorces, revealed that “there may be nothing more important in a marriage than a determination that it shall persist. With such a determination, individuals force themselves to adjust and to accept situations which would seem sufficient grounds for a breakup, if continuation of the marriage were not the

‘A Taste of Tradition’ all you’d expect — and then some Cookbook Corner

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent St. Paul Lutheran Church of Blue Earth, Minn., has been serving its faithful for 125 years, and to honor this milestone the faithful have published a gorgeous cookbook, “A Taste of Tradition.” It’s a thick, meaty book full of all the desserts, casseroles, cookies, side dishes and baked goods you’ve come to expect in a good church cookbook, and then some.

With a sturdy yet beautiful cover and a special “kitchen basics” section in back, this cookbook is classy yet homey at the same time. It features gourmet meals, kid-friendly snacks and everything in between. Here are some recipes that caught my eye, although it wasn’t easy to pick just a few out of the many that looked tempting.

Caring for someone with dementia Caring for a person with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia is a hard job. At first, you may be able to handle the responsibilities yourself, but in time your family member will need more help with everyday tasks. As the demands on you increase, you may drift your focus far from your family and friends just when you need them the most. Even the most patient and understanding caregiver can feel overwhelmed and depressed.

The ongoing stress of caring for someone with Alzheimer’s can also affect your health. Caregiving demands may weaken your immune system, leaving you more likely to get sick more frequently and stay sick longer. You may find it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. And you might find yourself eating too much or too little, or relying on alcohol to help you relax.

To give the best care to someone else, you have to take care of yourself.

These tips have helped others deal with caregiver stress.

Have realistic expectations.

Understand that no one is a “perfect” caregiver. You are doing the best you can at any given time. Your house does not have to be perfect, and you don’t have to fix a three-course meal every night.

Stay connected. Make an effort to stay in touch. Set aside time for getting out of the house, even if it’s just a walk with a friend.

Get festive with chicken fajitas Those of you who read my column regularly know that I am keenly interested in the history of the dishes I prepare. Today’s dish is no exception.

Many people mistakenly assume fajitas originated in Mexico. I know that’s what I thought. The truth is their origin is traced to Texas in the early 1900s where cowhands received a portion of their compensation in the form of scrap beef. These cowhands became accomplished at taking these undesirable cuts (such as the skirt steak as we know it today) and making hearty meals.

The fajita is one of those dishes, with the origin of the word being traced to the Spanish word “faja” which means “belt” or “girdle,” which explains the name “skirt steak.”

Today’s recipe focuses on chicken instead of beef, and the marinade is the key. Our family has been using this marinade for years; it is a combination of a couple of marinades that have been tweaked. It’s simple and delicious. This marinade is used with 1 1/2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts. You can see the video I posted at www.YouTube.com/BBQMyWay. Chicken Fajita Marinade 1/2 can of your favorite beer 1/3 cup fresh lime juice 1 Tbs brown sugar 1 Tbs olive oil 2 to 3 cloves of chopped garlic 3/4 tsp ground cumin 1/4 cup chopped cilantro Dash of salt Mix all ingredients listed above and pour over chicken in a zip lock bag. Allow to marinate for 1 to 2 hours.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

See FAJITAS, pg. 31A

FAJITAS, from pg. 30A Cut in lengthwise strips a green bell pepper, a red bell pepper, a yellow bell pepper and a small onion.

Place in a bowl and drizzle lightly with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and lightly toss.

The grill should be set up with indirect heat, meaning the coals are on one side of the grill, or one section of your gas grill is not turned on. Sauté the peppers and onion over the fire in a cast iron skillet, or better yet, one of the metal bowls with small holes meant for use on the grill.

When the peppers and onion become slightly cooked but still retain some crunch, remove them from the heat and wrap them in foil.

Grill the chicken breasts, starting off by putting them over the portion of the

grill with no flame. Close the lid and let cook indirectly for 10 minutes or so.

Now move the breasts over direct heat, turning them once or twice until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit. You can either discard the liquid, or bring it to a rapid boil on the stove and use as a dipping sauce.

(If you are going to use it as a dipping sauce, be sure to bring the fluid to a rapid boil for a minute or two.)

Cut chicken into lengthwise pieces, dip in the sauce if you have retained and boiled it, place on a soft tortilla and pile on the peppers, onion and your favorite fajita condiments.

Northland Arboretum, Brainerd, Minn.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

he very existence of the T Northland Arboretum is remarkable. Its few hundred acres of pines, picnic grounds and gardens are located in an intensively developed area between Baxter and Brainerd, Minn. It is a place of serenity in the middle of that modern noise and bustle.

The Arboretum has a web of sandy automobile trails winding under Jack and Norway pines and past formal gardens.

Strangely, it is open during the week but not on weekends. On an early summer Sunday we were the only visitors and we walked the auto trails in solitude. Along the way we located five unique gardens. We suspect there are more to be discovered.

The garden at the edge of the modest parking lot showcases hillside landscaping. It has a rock garden with a small artificial stream, waterfall and pond. In the pond grow lily pads, cattails and two species of reeds. Surrounding the pond and stream are day lilies, roses, various species of herbs and ground covers and comfortable benches to sit on and take it all in. As a visitor listens to the water and the breeze in the nearby willows, the noise of the distant traffic fades.

There are “you are here” maps throughout the Arboretum. They are slightly confusing, however. We just wandered until we came across the Memory Garden. The Memory Garden is a cool shaded place that is entered by passing under a wrought iron arbor. Here, too, is a small waterfall and pool. A footbridge is also part

of the landscaping.

When we were there the garden was mostly yellow in day lilies but white, purple, and pink veronica were also blooming along with pink shrub roses. The designers carefully set the garden in a half bowl so that above it is the dark green colors of native red oaks. This garden also has benches for quiet and meditation. Across the sandy street from the Memory Garden are smaller pocket gardens.

The Department of Natural Resources, and Potlatch Corporation, have created a large round garden called Gardening for Wildlife. This garden has benches and a gazebo for communing with a variety of flowers and shrubs. When we visited the hummingbirds and cottontails were also enjoying it.

If you want to discover and enjoy the gardens at Northland Arboretum you can find them at 14250 Conservation Drive in Brainerd. More information is at their website at www.northlandarb.com. ❖

The ever-shrinking corn crop

Weather plays role in livestock

USDA lowers demand numbers with crop

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

CORN — How much smaller will this corn crop get?

In a bold move, the U.S. Department of Agriculture slashed the corn yield to 146 bushels per acre from 166 bu./acre previously and expectations for a drop to 154.1 bu./acre on the July 11 monthly crop report.

December corn traded the largest one day trading range of 62 3/4 cents on July 11 on the surprise yield cut.

If the USDA was willing to drop the yield this much now, what can we expect next month? How many acres are beyond recovery, even with rain? Harvested acres were dropped PHYLLIS NYSTROM Country Hedging 200,000 for a crop of 12.97 billion St. Paul bushels.

The 2012-13 carryout was pegged at 1.183 billion bushels when traders were anticipating 1.232 billion bushels and versus the last estimate of 1.881 billion bushels. There were many changes to the usage categories from the June report to make the balance sheets work, including: feed down 650 million (but still 250 million more than this year), ethanol cut 100 million to 4.9 billion, feed/seed lowered 5 million, and exports reduced by 300 million to match this year’s 1.6 billion bushels.

Imports shot up to 30 million bushels, double what was estimated last month, on ideas for Brazilian maize to come into the United States. The stocks-touse ratio collapsed to 9.3 percent.

The on-farm price range forecast screamed higher to $5.40/$6.40 from $4.20/$5 predicted last month. In the 1988-89 crop year, the stocks-to-use ratio was 26.6 perSee NYSTROM, pg. 2B

The weather has been a dominant feature for the entire farm commodity complex over the past few weeks. The continuation of the drought has affected the livestock markets from the standpoint of the sharply rising feed costs to the marketing schemes of the livestock producers.

The cattle market has had a rough start to July. The hot dry weather has forced many cattle to be marketed early to avoid the hot conditions in the feedlots. At the same time the weather has affected domestic demand because of that very same heat across the country.

An interesting fact is that cattle JOE TEALE Broker weights are still increasing despite the heat and the early Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. marketing of animals. This poses a problem since the demand is slowing and beef production is remaining high as far as tonnage. With the increased beef in storage and the heavy weights, the supply side of the cattle market seems a bit burdensome at this time.

The rally in the U.S. dollar against most major currencies has weakened the demand for beef in the export market at the same time. The result of this has been a steady drop in the beef cutouts over the past month, which has forced the packer to reduce their bids for live inventory to protect their margins.

Replacement cattle have seen the most drastic drop in prices, as the price of feed has accelerated to higher levels as a result of deteriorating crop conditions.

Until the weather makes a significant change or

The U.S. Department of Agriculture lowered the national corn yield by 20 bushels per acre to 146 bu./acre in their latest report, catching the market off guard.

This large drop in yield would produce a 12.97 billion bushel crop if the USDA’s harvested acres of 92.2 percent are used in the calculation. Many in the market are currently trading 86 to 90 percent of the corn planted acres to be harvested.

The continued impact of the drought will determine the final number of acres to be harvested.

According to the latest Palmer Drought Index, 86 percent of the TOM NEHER AgStar VP & Team corn planted acres are abnormally dry at the topsoil level and Leader — Grain Industry Rochester, Minn.

72 percent at the subsoil level.

With the corn yield being cut, the USDA lowered the demand numbers accordingly. The rationing has begun and will likely continue if the drought worsens. Total use was lowered by 1.055 billion bushels, split between feed by 650 million bushels, ethanol by 100 million bushels and exports by 300 million bushels.

As a result, ending stocks for the new crop marketing year fell by 698 million bushels, bringing the stocks to 1.183 billion bushels. This would represent a stocks-to-use ratio of 9.3 percent, compared to the tightest level on record of 5 percent during the 199596 marketing year. This number could be challenged if the drought continues to advance.

The grain markets have rallied $2.50 in corn and $3 in soybeans since May. This type of blistering

Surprise: Iowa corn condition deteriorates 16 percent NYSTROM, from pg. 1B cent because of a large carry-in.

The old crop changes were not nearly as exciting. For the 2011-12 balance sheet, exports were decreased 50 million which fed to the bottom line. The 2011-12 carryout rose to 903 million bushels when the average carryout prediction was 840 million bushels.

Crop conditions deteriorated more than the trade expected after the extreme high heat and no rain for the week that ended July 8. Corn rated in the good to excellent categories fell by 8 percent to 40 percent versus 48 percent the previous week. This year’s crop is the lowest rated crop for this week since 1988 when it was rated 14 percent good/excellent.

One of the biggest surprises was that Iowa fell 16 percent. During the triple digit heat, silking sped ahead to half done by July 8 and compared to only 19 percent silked on average. By state versus the average percent silked: Minnesota, 41 versus 8; Wisconsin, 11 versus 2; Illinois, 77 versus 33; Iowa, 48 versus 7; Indiana, 60 versus 19; and Nebraska, 50 versus 14.

Corn contracts established new contract highs this week, but couldn’t quite reach the all-time record high for a nearby corn contract at $7.99 3/4 per bushel (high this week was $7.94). Talk of sales of Brazilian corn into the U.S. Southeast continues to pop up, although no actual details have been released. There were also hints that Brazilian corn would work into the Gulf and ultimately cattle feedlots.

Ethanol plant cutbacks continue to be reported around the country with margins in the red, but improvements in ethanol prices did reduce negative margins in some areas. Weekly ethanol production was at its lowest level since July 23, 2010, at 821,000 bar-

rels per day and down 36,000 barrels per day for the week. This was the second largest weekly drop on record.

While there were whispers about the possibility of a reduction in the ethanol mandate, the Environmental Protection Agency and not the USDA has the authority to make adjustments. If that were to occur, don’t expect anything until after the August crop report.

Technically, December corn put in a key reversal lower on report day, but barely dipped into the gap from $6.76 to $6.85 1/2 per bushel. The gap area will be seen as an area of first support, but until there’s a change in the weather and yields stabilize, trying to pick a top is futile. December corn jumped 47 1/4 cents this week to close at $7.40 1/4 per bushel. How soon will the December price begin with an “eight”?

OUTLOOK: The rationing job has begun, but the market will usually “over ration” in these circumstances. Reports that one major ethanol producer is calling for an immediate 30 percent cutback in production surfaced this week.

While this helps with corn demand, it also reduces the amount of DDGs that will be available for feed. A previously announced corn sale to Mexico was moved from optional origin to non-U.S. origin, a sign export demand may be beginning to be rationed.

Weather will still be the determinate of where prices go from here as 1,000 counties in 26 states have been declared natural disasters due to the drought. The clock is ticking and without significant, widespread rain this corn crop is still at risk for lower yields and higher prices.

SOYBEANS — This month’s USDA crop production report was not as eye-popping as corn with the soybean yield cut 3.4 bu./acre to 40.5 bu./acre.

This is the biggest July yield decline on record. The initial USDA estimate was 43.9 bu./acre and last year we averaged 41.5 bu./acre. On the 2012-13 balance sheet, production came in at 3.05 billion bushels after the USDA added 2.3 million harvested acres.

On the usage side: crush declined 35 million and exports fell 115 million to 1.37 billion versus 1.34 billion last year. Ending stocks for 2012-13 of 130 million were down 10 million bushels from last month and slightly below the average guess. The on-farm price rose $1 to a range of $14 to $15 per bushel. The stocks-to-use ratio is steady to 4.2 percent.

The 2011-12 balance sheet cut 5 million from the carryout to 170 million bushels after increasing

crush 15 million, upping exports by 5 million and seed by 2 million. This was mostly offset by a reduction in residual of 17 million bushels.

Soybean ratings dropped another 5 percent for the week ending July 8 from 45 percent to 40 percent good to excellent. In 1988, the soybean crop was rated 16 percent good/excellent for this week. During the Fourth of July week in 1988, 44 percent of the U.S. soybean crop was blooming compared to 25 percent on average.

The week started out with a new record high set in the nearby soybeans of $16.79 1/2, which turned out to be a double top that was confirmed on report day.

November soybeans hit a new contract high of $15.75 per bushel on an initial reaction to the USDA report.

Soybean prices continued to climb higher after the report on forecasts for a return of high temperatures and limited rainfall for the next 10 days. While soybeans do have time to recover, demand is still present and as the season progresses time may not be on the side for improving crop conditions.

Another new crop sale of 142,000 metric tons was made this week to an unknown buyer. South American basis continues to firm. The United States is experiencing its worst drought in 25 years. Soybeans are in the same boat as corn, but demand does not seem to be declining.

OUTLOOK: Balance sheets are tight, available South American supplies are small, and weather is uncertain, which leaves a lot of wiggle room for where prices can head. Meal demand/prices in both the United States and South America is also startlingly strong which adds an element of strength to soybeans. Weather is the pivotal factor, but demand also needs to be curbed — and that isn’t happening yet. November soybeans were up 46 3/4 cents this week to settle at $15.52 1/2 per bushel. How high is high enough for new crop prices?

Don’t rule out the $16.79 1/2 level.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending July 13: Minneapolis September wheat jumped 44 cents higher, Chicago gained 40 1/4 cents and Kansas City rose 42 1/2 cents. August crude oil increased $2.65 to $87.10 per barrel, heating oil was up 7 3/4 cents, gasoline rose a dime and natural gas was up 9 3/4 cents. The Dow was down 15 points for the week, the U.S. dollar index was essentially unchanged and gold climbed $13.10 to $1,592 per ounce. ❖

Hog futures weak, cash steady-to-higher TEALE, from pg. 1B the grain markets reach a peak, the cattle market is likely going to struggle if not move to lower levels in the near future.

Hogs have basically seen two different markets for quite some time. The futures market has continued to be weak in the face of a fairly steady-to-higher cash market. This pattern seems to be in transition as we move into the middle of July.

The futures market is beginning to respond to the deep discounts that have prevailed all spring to the

cash market. At the same time the cash trade is beginning to soften as supply of pork is becoming too great to meet the current demand. The hot weather is also effecting the demand for pork, and with the supply of pork in storage at fairly high levels packers are more cautious in acquiring live inventory. The same would hold true for the hog market as with the cattle market.

Until we see a change in the weather patterns, it is likely that the hog market will continue to struggle and more than likely lose ground and further deteriorate in price. ❖

I was visiting with a client the other day and he made the comment, that the “last time this happened it only cost me more money. It cost me more money for seed, fertilizer, rent and equipment.”

The higher the prices go, the more risk we all have to manage.

We here in the Upper Midwest have enjoyed better crop growing conditions than many in the country. We have seen fields that have suffered from the extreme heat and a lack of rain. Yet, we have also received some timely rains that have saved our crops from further damage.

For those in the most drought-damaged areas, the pain of a lost crop and high prices will haunt them as they imagine what could have been, if they were as lucky as we have been to date.

Let us remember that we are not in control of the weather and that our good fortune is a gift. ❖

NEHER, from pg. 1B market action has priced in a great deal of risk premium. Clearly this is a “shot across the bow” for the livestock, dairy and ethanol producers. Our export customers are caught without adequate coverage, contributing to the scramble for bushels.

The prevailing market option in May was that there would be plenty of corn and soybeans at harvest time and they only needed to procure enough grain to make it, until the new-crop grain began rolling into town. With the December 2012 and July 2013 corn spread doing into an inverse; one can see the panic in the market to fill fourth quarter orders.

The market action is good news in the short run for those grain producers fortunate enough to grow a crop. Yet the long-term impact of the rationing destroys the demand base. These markets may haunt the grain producers longer than they may imagine.

between pollen shed and silk emergence. This asynchrony can result in poor kernel set and ears with missing kernels. The success of kernel set can be evaluated throughout and soon after the pollination period by carefully unwrapping husks and gently shaking ears, as silks detach from the ear within a couple days after successful pollination.

However, water stress following successful pollination is more common and will likely be the main result of dry conditions this year. This water stress results in the loss of kernels at the tips of ears, but kernel loss can occur in other patterns on ears if water stress is intense enough or combined with other stresses.

The current dry conditions in many parts of the state, which continue to persist, could affect the success of pollination in some areas, but will more likely result in the loss of kernels following pollination.

This loss of kernels could be a little greater than normal, but will depend on current soil moisture levels and future rainfall.

Even so, the corn in Minnesota is in far better shape than that in east-central Corn Belt states such as Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.

5 B THE LAND, JULY 20, 2012

Tassels became visible in earlyplanted corn fields around Minnesota the first week of July, coinciding with a week of unusually hot and continually dry weather.

While some isolated areas in Minnesota received a little rain late in the week, most did not.

By mid-month, a large percentage of the corn in Minnesota was pollinating. Although air temperatures across Minnesota during mid-month were near optimal for corn (mid- to upper-80s), there was little rain during this time. How do these weather conditions affect the corn crop?

The critical period for avoiding stress in corn is during the time span two weeks before and two weeks after tassel emergence, with the most important time being the eight days after tassels emerge, also known as the pollination period. Drought and heat stress around tassel emergence can affect the success of pollination and the number of kernels per ear.

Heat stress generally has less of an impact on corn at pollination than water stress, and does not occur until temperatures exceed 86 degrees with dry soils, or 92 degrees with adequate soil moisture and high humidity. With high temperatures, corn plants require more energy to maintain themselves.

Temperature and/or water stress before pollination can reduce the number of potential kernels per row, while combined temperature and water stress shortly after tassels emerge can cause exposed silks to desiccate and not accept pollen.

Fortunately, much of the corn that was pollinating during the high temperatures was not under severe moisture stress, as the roots in these early-planted fields were accessing water deep in the soil. Thus, the direct impact of those early high temperatures on pollinating corn in Minnesota was likely low.

Instead, the amplified loss of soil moisture as a result of high temperatures likely had, and will continue to have a greater impact on the crop.

Water stress before pollination affects the number of potential kernels per row. It can also cause silk emergence and elongation to slow while hastening or not affecting pollen shed, resulting in asynchrony

The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is conducting surveys for new and emerging pests in some of Minnesota’s key agricultural crops. The surveys help Minnesota farmers identify pest infestations in their early stages, when they are easier to control or eradicate. Accurate pest surveys also help ensure access to domestic and foreign trade markets for Minnesota commodities.

“Conducting surveys for new and emerging pests is an important service we provide for Minnesota farmers,” said Geir Friisoe, MDA’s Plant Protection Division director. “Not only does it help farmers by alerting them to potential pest problems, but it also helps reassure our international customers that our farm products are free of destructive pests.”

In small grains, target pests include the cereal leaf beetle, which can reduce yields by feeding on leaves and is a concern for trade markets. In corn, target pests include two moths, a beetle and a fungal disease not known to occur in the United States that could impact yields and trade access. The corn survey will also include Goss’s wilt, which is a new disease spreading through the state. In soybeans, target pests include the kudzu bug, which is a new soybean pest in the southeastern United States, and sudden death syndrome — a new plant disease spreading through the state.

In addition to these large surveys, staff will assist with surveys for plum pox virus in plums and thousand cankers disease in walnut trees.

The Agricultural Pest Survey is conducted by field staff stationed throughout the agricultural regions of the state, and is coordinated through the MDA’s St. Paul office. Survey information is gathered through traps, visual survey and sweep nets. The surveys will be conducted through August. Questions about the surveys and the targeted pests can be directed to MDA at (888) 545-6684 (voicemail) or arrest.the.pest@state.mn.us.

Churning schedules were enhanced at varying rates throughout the country as additional cream became available due to the Fourth of July holiday.

A major storm in the Mid-Atlantic region of the East Coast caused extensive power outages that interrupted and shut down operations at numerous dairy facilities.

The combination of the storm and holiday-related shut downs decreased cream demand and increased cream volumes to churns. Some Eastern cream was cleared to Midwestern butter operations. Overall butter demand slowed as retailers and food service outlets prepared for the holiday.

Gallagher: Need fundamental changes in fluid milk sales MIELKE, from pg. 7B ■ Daily Dairy Report market analyst Sarina Sharp reported in the DDR website’s “Daily Dairy Discussion” that “the hot dry weather hit the nation’s corn crop during the critical pollination period when the crop requires more water and is particularly sensitive to lasting damage from heat or drought stress.”

The USDA has rated the condition of the corn and soybean crop as worse than any year since 1988 and corn yields could fall below 150 bushels per acre. Sharp warns that, if the crop does not improve, end-users will have to begin rationing demand.

Rains could change that, she said, but forecasts are not promising.

Checking demand; 4.3 billion pounds of packaged fluid milk products is estimated to have been sold in the United States in April, down a whopping 4.5 percent than April 2011, and down 2.7 percent after adjusting for calendar composition. Total conventional fluid milk product sales were off 4.6 percent from April 2011 and estimated sales of total organic fluid milk products decreased 1.7 percent.

Tom Gallagher, CEO and president of Dairy Management Inc., said in a preview of an August feature in Eastern/Western DairyBusiness magazine, that “fluid milk sales have been in a crisis state for decades and the industry’s ‘trustees’ must work together to change that trend.

“The problem is clear and the solution is even clearer,” Gallagher wrote.

“Fundamental change is needed in how we handle, price and market the product, and it is needed now. To do that, the dairy checkoff is trying to work with a broad group of industry companies to change fluid milk forever.” Let’s hope so.

■ The latest dairy product commercial disappearance data for the first four months of 2012 totaled 65.4 billion pounds, up 0.7 percent from 2011. Butter was down 5.4 percent; American cheese was up 1 percent; other cheese, up 1.2 percent; nonfat dry milk up 29.5 percent; and fluid milk products were down 3.3 percent.

While we’re talking about fluid milk, California’s August Class I milk price is $18.01 per hundredweight for the north and $18.28 for the south. Both are up 41 cents from July but are $5.23 below August 2011.

That brought the 2012 Class I average to $17.82, down from $20.27 at this time a year ago, and compares to just $16.38 in 2010. The southern average now stands at $18.09, down from $20.54 a year ago and compares to $16.65 in 2010. The August federal order Class I base price is announced July 18.

■ The latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report actually reduced its 2012 and 2013 milk production forecasts from last month “as higher forecast feed prices are expected to pressure producer returns and encourage a more-rapid decline in the cow herd.”

Look for 2012 production to hit 201.6 billion pounds, down 600 million pounds from last month’s estimate, while 2013 output will inch up to 201.7 billion, down 900 million pounds from last month’s report.

Milk per cow was reduced due to higher forecast feed prices this year and next. Imports were raised on a fat basis, reflecting stronger imports of cheese.

Exports were raised on stronger sales of cheese, whey and nonfat dry milk.

■ Cheese prices were forecast higher for 2012 and into early 2013 as stronger exports support prices. Butter prices were forecast higher in 2012 but weaker domestic demand is expected to offset lower production in 2013 and the price forecast was unchanged.

Weaker expected domestic demand will also limit price movements for NDM and whey, according to the report. The NDM price was reduced slightly from last month, but the 2013 forecast was unchanged. The whey price forecasts for both 2012 and 2013 were unchanged from last month.

The Class III milk price forecasts for 2012 and 2013 were raised from last month due to the higher forecast cheese price. Look for the Class III to average $16 to $16.30/cwt., according to the USDA, up from the $15.75 to $16.15 estimated a month ago, and compares to $18.37 in 2011 and $14.41 in 2010. The 2013 projected average now stands at $16.25 to $17.25, up a nickel on both ends.

The 2012 Class IV price was raised on the higher butter price. The 2012 average is now projected at $14.55 to $14.95, up from $14.35 to $14.85 expected last month, and compares to $19.04 in 2011 and $15.09 in 2010. The estimated 2013 average remained at $15.40 to $16.50.

To improve the overall header height performance, an enhanced software has been released. The Gen II software improves header response and reaction time when harvesting. The new software increases header reaction time for both lateral tilt and header up/down. The Gen II software also has new features that an operator can select to tailor the header height to the field conditions.

These improvements maximize grain saving by providing improved cutting performance when harvesting in uneven terrain conditions. The header height software also utilizes a new calibration procedure that ensures all sensors are properly calibrated.
