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 13 “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: Clearly stated, but not politically correct To the Editor: Regarding The Land assistant editor Tom Royer’s column on Love and Marriage (July 13 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.

Letter: March to equality lead by courageous speech To the Editor: I just wanted to thank assistant editor Tom Royer for his courageous column in the July 13 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.

Stop taking dirty money from dirty bankers for dirty work On July 17, the U.S. Senate pulled off a Half Ginsburg by convening three Capitol Hill hearings on why the crooks and crackpots in charge of global finance find it ridiculously easy to make suckers out of you and me and Swiss cheese out of American laws.

The morning began with the Homeland Security Committee grilling executives from HSBC, a London-based bank with as many assets, $2.6 trillion, as Great Britain’s total economy.

London-set interest rate that most of the world’s banks use when lending money. The British bank behind all the conniving, Barclays — also bigger than England’s GDP — recently confessed its raterigging and paid $450 million in fines to U.S. and English authorities.

How, asked the senators echoing a July 15 Wall Street Journal story, did the bank But Barclays really isn’t paying a pence of the fine, William Ginsburg, you may recall, rep“allegedly allow (its) units ... to be used for is it?

While all that Senate chatting and churning was going on, farmers and ranchers across the nation were once again trying to figure out where the money in their hedging accounts went when Peregrine Financial Group Inc. of Cedar Falls, Iowa, collapsed in a $215 million sinkhole.

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

OPINION

And, no, they did not have to be reminded that the Peregrine crash came just eight months after “the loss of more than $1 billion in customer funds at MF Global Ltd.,” another former kingpin in ag and ranching futures markets, noted the July 12 Wall Street Journal.

Two days after Peregrine’s plunge JPMorgan announced that its estimated $2 billion trading loss this spring was, in fact, a massive $5.8 billion loss this summer.

If anyone anywhere is surprised by anything in this update of financial scandals they haven’t been paying attention. Hardly a week passes when someone or some firm doesn’t rob you, me and markets of either cash, confidence or both.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

More troubling than the scandals is the intense navel-gazing Congress has perfected when investigating them. Through deregulation it granted financial chiselers and cheats immense latitude to chisel and cheat. Gee, Congress mapped the road to most of today’s many “moral hazards” and now it’s surprised to find people using it?

Congress can stop it. Fund the reforms contained in the Dodd-Frank banking law; push the Justice Department to criminally prosecute all who violate American law and sweep clean their own house: stop taking dirty money from dirty bankers for dirty work.

Our job is even simpler: If we lead, our leaders will follow.

much standard fare for all the animals in Vogel’s travel show exhibit. Like with any livestock farmer, there is occasional death loss, but putting down one of their exotics is sometimes a greater issue than you might imagine.

“We had a camel go down last year that I’d had longer than my kids. That was a little tough. But this is business and livestock losses are inevitable,” he said, adding that when you have this many different kinds of animals you can’t get attached to each.

We go ’til about Nov. 1 with the petting zoos. After Thanksgiving, Christmas pageants are big, and last winter I got hooked up with school programs, community education programs and that kept me busy ’til mid-May. And now we’re getting into some sport shows and that may be an even better deal.

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

With so many different species, gestation cycles are a special challenge. Vogel said they don’t do much breeding within the herd. “We buy babies as we need. We raise a lot of kangaroos, some deer, we raise our monkeys. But what’s weird, a lot of the animals are of African or Indian origin. Often these animals don’t have a set cycle. So you can be having babies in January if you don’t watch carefully.”

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.

Donkeys are always popular because everyone knows about donkeys. Mabel, a big donkey that didn’t make the Winthrop show, is used in Christmas pageants. “I don’t know Mabel’s age but I’m certain she’s in her 20s. I do know that donkeys can have a long, long life.”

A six-hitch pony carousel is also part of the Vogel attraction. Because it’s four years from birth to being in the ring, he doesn’t breed and raise his ponies, preferring to buy replacements as needed.

This looks like a lot of fun, but there some real challenges in this exotic animal business.

“It’s much like anything. The government keeps coming up with more regulations on what we can do and what we can’t do. They’ve sort of taken the fun out of this business. DOT (Department of Transportation) has special rules on trailers and moving these animals. Plus, it seems the federal people want to control this business, too. Just the paperwork is getting to be quite an issue,” Vogel said. Moving his animals across state lines is always an issue with tuberculosis and brucellosis testing. Some states

Combined with the petting zoo, educational lyceums and other events get on the agenda of Vogel’s exotic animals. In addition to Minnesota, their travel schedule last year included Iowa, Nebraska, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

He admitted this crowds the school schedule for his children because they’re sometimes still out on the road when the school year starts. “We try not to take our kids out of school but if they have to go, they have to go.”

The Minnesota State Fair hasn’t yet worked for Vogel, although he’d sure like to make that event. “If I was from Texas with these exotics I might have a better chance. The State Fair likes to showcase special events from other parts of the country it seems.”

Fresh water, ceiling fans and shade cloths over the outside pens are strategies to combat the heat for Vogel. But he points out that many of his exotics are from tropical countries, so heat really isn’t an issue.

The popularity of Vogel’s Exotic Animal Show keeps growing, so Vogel said that advertising really isn’t a big deal anymore. “We’ve been really lucky.

We’ve got more events, more work than we can really do,” he said. When the county fair circuit kicks in gear, he’ll have three units on the road until midAugust.

Tour: Morrison County throws beef into lakes, dairy mix within the enclosure,” Reichmann said.

There can be hazards to putting livestock on public lands. Because these are “public” parcels, the public can walk in these lands. Since most of the grazing is during the summer months, the livestock won’t be present during the fall hunting season.

Minnesota beef industry growing Because of on-going drought conditions through much of the cattle country of southwest United States beef numbers are migrating north. “Very definitely,” Reichmann said. Also the synergies of the ethanol industry in Minnesota provide a convenient source of feedstocks year round. “We’re seeing increases both in cow-calf operations and finishing feedlots. There have been numerous feedlot expansions in southwest Minnesota just in the past two years,” he said.

Is anyone making money these days? 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 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 parcels with a phone number. Reichmann’s agricultural operation is in the Villard, Minn., area in Pope County which has dozens of DNR parcels. This multi-dimensional farm business includes his dad, Ron, plus brothers Jon and Matt.

Referring to the Minnesota Grazers Association which continually works with conservation and elected officials about expanding public lands for more grazing, Reichmann indicated DNR Commissioner Tom Landwehr has rolled out a plan that would get 55,000 additional acres into the program. “And this tells me everyone is starting to pull on the wagon. Condition of the fences, or lack of fencing is one of the challenges of getting land available to grazers.”

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. In most cases a double or triple strand electric fence can do the job. The bottom line is doing what it takes to keep them

THE LAND, JULY 27, 2012 “Where Farm and Family Meet”

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.

It’s also home to the 52,831 acres Ted Reichmann 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 15A) 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 Minnesota 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

Beef’s Eustice retiring; ‘I’ve been very fortunate’

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer After 22 years as a key voice of the Minnesota Beef Council, executive director Ron Eustice officially retires Oct. 1.

Knowing the persistent and concerned nature of this gentleman, however, his long-time friends in the beef industry are doubtful that Eustice will quietly slide into retirement.

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. ❖

Cautiously excited about beef industry’s future 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, from pg. 10A 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 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 125-pound beef calf transitions into a 1,200-pound USDA Select market animal.

Highland cattle a hairy, er, 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.

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

The Award-Winning Wil-Rich 657 DCR (Disc, Chisel) is the outstanding performer for today’s farmer.

The 657 DCR is available with hydraulic depth control cutting gang. The 20 inch diameter cutting blades can be your choice of smooth blades, for slicing residue, allowing more residue to remain on top soil. Or concave blades, slicing and mixing residue with soil for blacker top soil. For mixing and breaking the soil, you have the options of chisel plow shanks or a combination of chisel plow shanks followed by deep till shank.

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 tem-

peratures 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.

Custom ranching in Minnesota done the western way 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.” ❖

Marriage more difficult than you can imagine, and worth it As I pulled the two floral throw pillows from the gift bag, I smiled at the gift giver, middle daughter, Stephanie.

We rushed through the front door past my hubby and her fiancé who were idling down in the air conditioning. Outside we discovered that the pillows may have matched the cushions years before the sun baked their original colors away, but now the side-by-side colors looked putrid.

She was disappointed. “No worries,” I said. “We’ll recover the cushions. I wonder who does that locally?”

Back into the house, we rushed past our men who hadn’t moved from their comfy chairs since the gift giving began, and headed to the phone book. I shouted, “Mike, do you know who recovers cushions?” He didn’t. I called my mom.

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 important documents such as IDs and cash 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.

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.

What could you grab in your house in 15 minutes that is necessary for your family and pet’s livelihood?

Deb Zoran, associate professor and member of the Veterinary Emergency Response Team at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & 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 taking care of the pets.

Zoran strongly encouraged not leaving a pet in an emergency situation.

Expect the best, prepare for worst

Weather plays role in livestock

USDA lowers demand numbers with crop

The following market analysis is for the week ending July 20.

CORN — Not to be flippant, but it’s still hot, it’s still dry and the crop is still deteriorating.

Corn subsequently hit a new all-time high in the nearby contract when the September contract hit $8.28 3/4 on July 20. The December contract has yet to erase the current all-time high for a December contract of $7.99 1/4 per bushel, missing it by just a quarter cent. December corn was up 55 1/2 cents this week and closed at $7.95 3/4 per bushel.

The high this week in the December contract was $7.99 per bushel.

PHYLLIS NYSTROM Ethanol margins improved Country Hedging over the past week as ethanol St. Paul rose to eight-month highs and dried distillers grains gained in value; however, on the flip side, weekly export sales were horrid at just 1.3 million bushels of old crop and 5.9 million bushels for new crop, plus basis levels have been weakening. Is the rationing process complete? Put weather in the equation and the possibility that the average corn yield is less than 135 bushels per acre, and I would venture to say “no,” the process is not yet complete.

The crumbing crop is the overriding factor and while any market will have bumps in the road, the trend is higher until some industry finally yells uncle.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued an updated drought outlook July 19 that extends the drought through October with the likelihood it spreads farther north and east. This kind of forecast will keep both buyers and sellers on edge. If El Nino materializes, it could mean a dry winter for the Midwest and North.

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 weights are still increasing JOE TEALE Broker despite the heat and the early marketing of animals. This poses Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. 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 grain markets reach a peak, the cattle market is likely going to struggle if not move to lower levels in

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 corn planted acres are abnormally dry at the topsoil level and AgStar VP & Team Leader — Grain Industry 72 percent at the subsoil level.

Rochester, Minn.

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 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 cus-

all of this year’s commitments are shipped, we have already surpassed the USDA export projection for this year. New crop sales commitments are nearly 535 million bushels when the USDA projection is 1.37 billion bushels. Rumors surfaced that China had canceled or bought back both corn and bean purchases, but nothing was confirmed.

OUTLOOK: Soybeans easily pushed to a new all-time record high when the August contract hit $17.77 3/4 per bushel on July 20. The November contract also set to a new record high for that contract at $16.91 per bushel.

November soybeans were up an amazing $1.33 3/4 per bushel to close the week at $16.86 1/4 per bushel.

Exports sales have not shut down and with suggestions that China has more to price and U.S. beans worked on paper into Brazil, the market has not completed its rationing job.

If the NOAA forecast verifies and August is hot and dry, the market could be explosive. Soybeans will benefit more than corn if rain does materialize; making this a precarious market. Good luck.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending July 20: Minneapolis September wheat was up 82 cents, Chicago rallied up 95 1/2 cents and Kansas City gained 90 cents.

August crude oil rallied up $4.34 to settle at $91.44, heating oil jumped 13 1/2 cents, gasoline was up nearly 12 3/4 cents and even natural gas was 20 3/4 cents higher. ❖

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. 18A tomers 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.

I was visiting with a client the other day and he made the comment, that

heat in the Midwest, and on-going demand.

Soybean conditions dropped to 34 percent good/excellent as of July 15 and are anticipated to fall further. The United States is the place to go for soybeans until South America has another harvest several months down the road.

The USDA announced a sale of 112,000 metric tons of U.S. new crop soybeans to the United Kingdom this week.

The United Kingdom?!

When was the last time they were ever mentioned in a daily sales announcement? While this could signal we are near the top, it more likely means everyone is that nervous about securing supply. There were even rumors early in the week that Brazil was nosing around for U.S. soybeans.

Soymeal’s riveting rally to all-time highs has added to the momentum in the soybean market as it raced to set a record high of $543 this week.

With the skyrocketing cost of feed and falling livestock prices, live cattle futures soared higher this week and live cattle prices showed signs of turning higher after comments that no changes to the RFS mandate were being considered. Weekly ethanol production fell to its lowest weekly level since reporting began and was 8 percent lower than a year ago. Lower grind translates into fewer DDGs available to the feed sector.

Weekly export sales were on the low end of expectations at 5 million for old crop and 7 million bushels for new. If

balance sheets.

Ethanol production was down this week to 802,000 barrels per day, showing a fifth week of declines. Ethanol stocks were up 24,000 barrels at 19.56 million barrels.

OUTLOOK: Prices could be expected to peak before we confirm the worst, but crop tours don’t begin for another few weeks. Until we have a better handle on how bad this crop is (both in yield and harvested acres), we don’t know how much rationing needs to be done.

Meanwhile, ethanol margins are improving as ethanol prices increase and surging Brazilian corn premiums make it unattractive to import Brazilian corn into the United States. Corn conditions are expected to show another decline the week ending July 22 after falling to 31 percent good/excellent as of July 15. First support in the December corn is the chart gap from $7.49 to $7.49 1/4 per bushel.

The old record high at $7.99 1/4 is the first target, then $8.50 per bushel.

When traders decide we’ve rationed enough or that the crop is as bad as it’s going to get, the market could turn ugly quickly. There are no easy answers in this scenario, so expect the best, prepare for the worst.

NYSTROM, from pg. 18A Nebraska growers were ordered to stop irrigation from surface sources, i.e. rivers and streams, this week due to drought conditions. Roughly two-thirds of Nebraska corn is irrigated but only 10 percent of irrigation water is from surface sources.

A major feature in the latter part of the week was spread action that catapulted the September contract to a huge premium to all other contracts and the December contract to a premium over deferred months as well.

The mission of the market is to ration supply through higher prices and that’s what it is working toward.

The higher nearby prices are shrinking nearby demand, while lower prices for the deferred months should push bushels to the market earlier to meet demand. The magnitude of the movement in the spreads has been extreme, but this is a year for the record books.

This action also reinforces that we need to be watching for opportunities to price bushels for next year.

The Environmental Protection Agency has jurisdiction over whether renewable fuel standards may be eased, but that didn’t stop the U.S. Department of Agriculture from echoing EPA statements this week that there is no intention currently to waive any Renewable Fuel Standard requirements.

Futures starting to respond TEALE, from pg. 18A 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-tohigher 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. ❖

Continued dry weather impacting health of ’12 corn crop 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 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.

THE LAND, JULY 27, 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.

adequate milk was still available to cheese makers and some increase in fortification has been noted.

Cash cheese prices moved higher the first two days of the week of July 16 but then gave some back, closing Friday at $1.7175 per pound for the blocks, up 3.75 cents on the week but still 43.75 cents below a year ago when the blocks jumped almost a dime and peaked for the year at $2.1550. The barrels closed Friday at $1.6950, up 1.5 cents and 43 cents below a year ago. Only two cars of block and six of barrel traded hands on the week.

The Agricultural Marketing Service-surveyed U.S. average block price inched up to $1.644, up 0.2 cent from the previous week, while the barrels averaged $1.6925, up 1.3 cents.

Retail demand is still generally considered to be good, according to the USDA, but export demand is slowing.

Domestic cheese prices are making U.S. cheese less favorable in the global market. Still, May exports of cheese and curd totaled 61.6 million pounds, up 43 percent from last year. Cumulative exports for the first five months of the year totaled 258.4 million pounds, up 18 percent from last year and exports accounted for 5.7 percent of total cheese production for the period.

■ Summer heat/humidity and record-setting temperatures are being reported in many regions coast to coast.

These conditions are significantly impacting cow comfort and milk output. In most all areas, milk handlers are reporting noticeable declines in milk intakes and butterfat levels. Some areas of the Midwest reported declines up to 20 percent compared to the previous week.

The lack of moisture is plaguing crops as well. Milk producers are concerned about feed prices with the recent announcement that grain yield estimates for corn and soybeans were reduced 12 and 7.7 percent, respectively.

■ Spot butter finished the week at $1.59, up 4 cents, but 45 cents below a year ago. One car was sold on the week. AMS butter averaged $1.5392, up 3.4 cents.

Cream markets are firm as butterfat levels on incoming milk decline. Class II operations are in full production following the holiday. Resumed Class II demand and lower overall cream availability are limiting cream volumes to the churn and churning schedules have eased as cream supplies and butterfat declines. The lighter churning activity often did not keep pace with demand, thus many producers and handlers were reaching into inventoried stock to fulfill orders.

Butter demand is good in many areas of the country.

Retail butter ads have prices ranging from $1.59 in the Midwest to $3.49 in Northeast and Southeast. Food service orders are holding at good levels. The June Cold Storage report was issued after our deadline.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed the week at $1.36, up 9.5 cents, while Extra Grade closed at $1.25, up 5.5 cents. AMS powder averaged $1.1575, down 0.3 cent, and dry whey averaged 49.59 cents, up 0.4 cent.

according to the July 18 Daily Dairy Report, and counties adversely affected by the unrelenting heat and dryness mount by the day. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack met with President Barack Obama on the situation.

The USDA added 39 counties from eight states to the growing list of disaster areas. The DDR said “Vilsack recognizes that grain farmers have access to crop insurance, which according to historical figures will compensate them for more than 70 percent of their losses; however, the nation’s livestock producers have no such protection and could be faced with tremendous burdens in coming months.”

At this point in the growing season, though, the USDA cannot do much. He said “there is no need to go to the Environmental Protection Agency for (an) ethanol waiver at this time.”

Thunderstorms brought rain to the northern Corn Belt Wednesday and more storms were expected Thursday in the eastern Corn Belt as the intensity of heat eases, according to FC Stone’s July 19 eDairy Insider Opening Bell. “However, widespread continued hot, dry weather and forecasts for little relief into mid-August supported grain futures overnight.”

■ Price wise, the USDA announced the August federal order Class I base milk price at $16.55 per hundredweight, up $1.04 from July but $4.88 below a year ago.

That equates to about $1.42 per gallon and raised the 2012 Class I average to $16.37, down from $18.91 at this time a year ago, and compares to $14.74 in 2010 and $10.95 in 2009. The University of Wisconsin’s Brian Gould predicts dairy producers will receive a Milk Income Loss Contract payment of about $1.2688/cwt., based on July 18 data.

The AMS-surveyed butter price averaged $1.5246/lb., up 14.8 cents from July. Nonfat dry milk averaged $1.1588, up 5.8 cents. Cheese averaged $1.6781, up 10.8 cents, and dry whey averaged 49.44 cents, down 1.1 cent.

■ Looking “back to the futures,” the last half 2012 federal order Class III milk prices were averaging $15.96/cwt. on June 1; $16.53 on June 8; $16.59 on June 15; $17.01 on June 22; $17.40 on June 29; $17.49 on July 6; $18.29 on July 13; and was trading around $18.45 late-morning July 20.

exports. The DDR says U.S. exports of nonfat dry milk/skim milk powder topped 100 million pounds in May, the highest monthly NDM/SMP export volume since October 2010 and the fourth time they exceeded 100 million pounds. But, it admits that NDM/SMP prices averaged near $1.10/lb. in the West, the lowest price since early 2010.

Mexico is the largest market for U.S.produced NDM/SMP, according to the DDR, accounting for 44 percent of exports in May and 42 percent year-todate. Mexico imported 43.8 million pounds of NDM/SMP in May, followed by the Philippines at 9.1 million pounds, and Vietnam with 7.9 million.

The DDR adds that “U.S. exporters have worked diligently to maintain key markets in the face of rising global production. As a result, NDM/SMP stocks, while higher than the prior year, are being held with confidence.”

■ Cooperatives Working Together accepted seven requests for export assistance this week to sell a total of 10 million pounds of butter and Cheddar cheese to customers in Asia, North Africa and the Middle East.

The product will be delivered through December and raised the CWT’s 2012 cheese exports to 66.6 million pounds plus 54.8 million pounds of butter and anhydrous milk fat.

■ eDairy’s July 18 Insider Opening Bell reported that this week’s GlobalDairyTrade saw the trade-weighted average for all products fall 0.9 percent from the July 3 prices. Across all contract periods, prices for butter milk powder rose 7.2 percent, skim milk powder gained 5.2 percent, anhydrous milk fat increased 3.3 percent, and milk protein concentrate added 2.4 percent.

Prices fell 5.8 percent for whole milk powder, 2.9 percent for cheddar cheese, and 1.8 percent for rennet casein.

FC Stone market analyst Tim Harvey said “there’s some bullish room left in the short term. ... Increasing demand from China is pushing up near-term prices.”

The July 17 DDR warned “these results continue to point to a widening gap between U.S. spot product prices and international prices, suggesting markets will need to reconcile the discrepancies in the coming weeks.”

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.

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.

pretzels) Flour 1 tablespoon baking soda Kosher or sea salt Thaw the frozen bread dough using the speed method on the bag. One loaf will make 6 pretzels, so thaw out as many as you would like. Cut thawed dough into six pieces. Roll out each piece, using flour when necessary, into a long string. Twist the string into a

pretzel shape and let rise until double (about 10 minutes).

Boil water in large pan; add baking soda to the water (it’ll look like a “bubble bath”).

Place 2-3 pretzels into the “bubble bath” and boil 1 minute each side. They will get larger. Place boiled pretzels on parchmentlined cookie sheet. Sprinkle with salt and bake in 475 F oven for 15 minutes. Good as is, or dip in spicy mustard, eat with soup, or split for a sandwich.

THE LAND, JULY 27, 2012

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, kidfriendly 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.

■ Make plain potatoes the star of the plate with Baked Potato Sticks, ovenbaked wedges that are crisp and buttery on the outside and tender on the inside. They make a perfect pairing with just about any kind of entrée, or serve with plenty of condiments for an evening snack (ranch dressing is hands-down favorite in our house). We plated these babies with grilled steak and a simple lettuce salad and called it dee-licious. Four out of four “yums” from the Johnson clan.

Baked Potato Sticks Submitted by Ellen Katzke 4-6 baking potatoes 1/2 cup butter, melted 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1/3 cup corn flakes, crushed 1 tablespoon sesame seeds Select 4 very large or 6 medium-sized potatoes. Scrub well and cut each potato into 6 or 8 wedges, lengthwise.

Arrange on a baking sheet. Combine melted butter and soy sauce; brush over potatoes. In a small bowl, combine corn flake crumbs and sesame seeds.

Sprinkle over potatoes. Bake in a preheated 400 F oven for 30-40 minutes or until crisp and lightly browned.

■ You can easily and economically make your own flavored oatmeal for frosty mornings, and you get just the basic ingredients without a list of chemicals attached. You can adjust the brown sugar and seasonings to your taste, or experiment with dried berries, chopped dates, dried mixed fruit bits …

I know that’s what I have been tweaked. It’s simple thought. The truth is their and delicious. This marinade is origin is traced to Texas in the used with 1 1/2 pounds of boneearly 1900s where cowhands less, skinless chicken breasts. You received a portion of their can see the video I posted at compensation in the form of www.YouTube.com/BBQMyWay. scrap beef. These cowhands became Chicken Fajita Marinade accomplished at taking these undesir1/2 can of your favorite beer able cuts (such as the skirt steak as 1/3 cup fresh lime juice we know it today) and making hearty 1 Tbs brown sugar meals.

1 Tbs olive oil The fajita is one of those dishes, with 2 to 3 cloves of chopped garlic the origin of the word being traced to 3/4 tsp ground cumin the Spanish word “faja” which means 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.

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. ❖

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.

Ray Bianchi, Farmfest coordinator, said, “we did our first IDEAginterconnectivity event in Des Moines June 28-29 and the response was amazing. Dave Frederickson About 300 Upper Midwest farmers attended. They couldn’t say enough good things about the information and new technology ideas they were exposed to.

“We believe the future of farming is indeed tied to the interconnectivity concept with new Kevin Paap equipment, new systems available online and new products in the marketplace all geared to increase the production efficiency of today’s modern, highpowered farms.”

Each of these 9 a.m. presentations will be in the Farmfest Forum Tent. Bianchi said com- Doug Peterson pany reps will be both “talking and showing” their particular new technology.

Raven, AT&T, and John Deere are just a few of the presenters. A University of Minnesota specialist in “computer agriculture” will also be on the scene.

So how might you get a free ticket to Farmfest which has a $10 admission price?

Bianchi said that if you are a crop farmer and/or a livestock producer you can log on to the Farmfest website — www.ideaggroup.com/farmfest — and See FARMFEST, pg. 3F

Forums have become a standard agenda of Farmfest because of the ongoing popularity of the forum concept. “I get ideas each year from people across the Midwest landscape for suggestions of new forum topics and new speakers.

Plus Lynn Ketelsen’s noon-time show and special entertainment in the ‘Big Tent’ just seems to fit the overall agenda of Farmfest,” said Kent Thiesse, Farmfest forum coordinator.

“We’re doing this because we really want to highlight the producers coming to Farmfest. Various exhibitors will be sending out promotional offers to those farmers who preregister. It’s a real simple five-second registration and that gives them special VIP access to Farmfest,” Bianchi said.

In addition to the IDEAginterconnectivity forums, Farmfest once again offers a solid lineup of political and ag-interest forums each day.

Meet your candidates Blue Earth County Samantha Smith, the daughter of Bart and Patty Smith of Amboy, is ambassador for the Blue Earth County Pork Producers Association. Smith will study agribusiness production at South Central College, North Mankato, Minn., in the fall. After many years of working in barns, Smith’s interest in swine has grown immensely. Smith’s enthusiasm for pork production, combined with her motivational and leadership skills, are qualities she would bring to the position of Minnesota Pork Ambassador.

“There are a lot of negative messages that are being said about the swine industry and it is my goal to help end those negative messages,” she said.

Smith is active in her community and as a member of the Blue Earth County Pork Producers Association. She enjoys volunteering at grilling events and promoting the swine industry throughout the county. Smith believes antibiotics and sow housing are the most critical

issues for the swine industry today. As an ambassador, it’s her goal to help educate the public on critical issues and to help consumers see how producers care for their animals.

“We are doing what we can to produce the amount of pork needed to feed the world,” Smith said.

Dakota County Brad Kluver, the son of Rusty and Nancy Kluver of Northfield, represents the Dakota County Pork Producers Association. Kluver is an elementary education major at Gustavus Adolphus College, St. Peter, Minn. His career goal is to teach in Minnesota for a few years and return to college for a master’s degree.

Kluver states that he enjoys educating the public, especially youth, on agricultural topics. Growing up on a farm and being involved with pigs his entire life has made Kluver passionate See PORK, pg. 22F

He also volunteers at the Minnesota State Fair Oink Booth, helps with after-school activities at the elementary school in St. Peter and is a summer baseball coach. He says a key issue the swine industry faces is consumers’ lack of knowledge about pork production.

“Farmers have done a better job getting out and interacting with the public, but they can continue to talk with consumers,” he said.

East Central Counties Molly Briggle, the daughter of the Lee and Patty Todnem of Milaca, represents the East Central Pork Producers Association as its ambassador. Briggle plans to attend Central Lakes Community College, Brainerd, Minn., to study photojournalism or education. Her long-term goal is to start her own herd of pigs to raise and show.

Briggle has been an active member of the local pork producers association by volunteering at promotional events and engaging with consumers.

Briggle’s involvement has taught her many life-long skills and the importance of being involved. Briggle believes the myths consumers are exposed to is one of the pork industry’s greatest challenges.

“The opportunity to become a Minnesota Pork Ambassador gives me the tools to properly interact with and educate the general public about the swine industry,” she said. “Many years of

interacting with the general public at the Minnesota State Fair has shown me the common beliefs and manufactured myths of the swine industry. With some simple searching and asking, everyone can see the beauty and benefits of pigs worldwide.”

East Central Counties Kirsten Pike, the daughter of Gary and Carrie Pike of Braham, represents the East Central Pork Producers Association as its ambassador. Pike plans to attend South Dakota State University, Brookings. At SDSU Pike will be majoring in childhood education and would like to obtain her coaching certificate.

Pike has been active in 4-H and many other school activities. Being involved has helped her become an organized and goal-orientated person. It is her goal to educate producers and showmen on how to properly feed hogs when preparing for shows.

Encouraging pork producers to share how they care for their animals is one goal Pike would set for herself as a Minnesota Pork Ambassador. Not only does she want to interact with the producers, she also wants to meet consumers and help them understand that pork is safe to eat.

“I’m not afraid to stand up in front of a crowd and talk to consumers about the swine industry, an industry that I am very passionate about,” Pike said.

Freeborn County Annabelle Randall, the daughter of Tim and Melody Randall of Hollandale, is the Freeborn County Pork Producers Association Ambassador. Randall will attend Oral Roberts University, Tulsa, Okla. this fall to study elementary education and Spanish.

“My plans after college are what really excite and motivate me,” she said. “I want to find a job in an underprivileged area where many of the kids have a challenging home life. Besides helping the children See PORK, pg. 23F

Randall is active in her school, church and community. Through her involvement, Randall has gained many skills that she will continue to use while achieving her life goals and promoting the swine industry as an ambassador. Randall sees public criticism as the biggest issue the swine industry is dealing with today. While on a trip to Washington, D.C., she had the chance to experience an animal rights demonstration. While listening to what the lady had to say, thoughts flooded Randall’s head. Her goal as a pork ambassador is to help the public better understand the pork industry.

“Being a pork producer is my family’s business.

We care about our animals and we would lose money if we abused our hogs like the woman said pork producers routinely do,” Randall said.

Le Sueur County Brad Richter, the son of Dave and Karen Richter of Montgomery, is an ambassador for the Le Sueur County Pork Producers Association.

Richter will attend South Central College, North Mankato, Minn., in the fall where he will focus on agriculture and diesel mechanics. His goal is to develop skills that will allow him to properly maintain and repair farm and livestock equipment. Upon completion of his college career, Richter would like to return to his family’s farm.

As an active 4-H and FFA member, Richter has served in many leadership positions and continues to help mentor young members in livestock programs. Showing livestock and being a member of the general livestock judging team has given Richter the opportunity to show his passion for agriculture. Richter feels the pork industry’s greatest challenges are animal welfare, gestation stall use, antibiotic use, increased input costs, See PORK, pg. 24F

Schwartz majors in agricultural education and minors in agronomy and animal science at the University of Minnesota. After college, he would like to return to the family farm.

Schwartz is involved in 4-H as a showman and as a county superintendent. He has also volunteered at the Minnesota State Fair Oink Booth.

Martin County Haley Ammann, the daughter of David and Michele Ammann of Truman, represents the Martin County Pork Producers Association as an ambassador. Ammann plans to attend cosmetology school in Mankato, Minn., and would like to also earn a business degree and open her own business. Ammann has been active in 4-H and her projects include exhibiting livestock. In school, Ammann is involved in student council and helps mentor younger students.

“Being a leader in my school has shown me I’m confident and always positive,” she said. “I always try to bring out the best in people.”

Ammann would like to serve as the Minnesota Pork Ambassador because she wants to teach others about the pork industry and share a positive story about Minnesota pork production. She believes showing consumers that hog farmers care about their animals is a challenge the industry faces today. It is important to Ammann that the public knows that her family cares about the animals they are raising.

“We take pride in raising pigs, not because it’s our job, but because we care,” Ammann said.

biggest challenge the swine industry currently faces.

“My perspective is that there are both advantages and disadvantages to each housing system,” he said. “I believe there needs to be more research completed on the topic before people move forward.”

Grefe is active in 4-H, his church and as a member of the national and state Shorthair Pointer Clubs. Responsibility, character, an outgoing personality and being a hard worker are just a few skills that Grefe has to offer to the Minnesota Pork Ambassador program.

Mower County Lee Kloeckner, the son of John and Barb Kloeckner of Adams, is the Mower County Pork Producers Association Ambassador. Kloeckner is a University of Minnesota student studying veterinary science. His career goals include acceptance into the VetFAST program and eventually open a veterinary clinic. Kloeckner is active in 4-H, church choir and the U of M’s Agricultural Education Club and Block and Bridle.

“My involvement in the FFA has had the greatest impact on my goals,” Kloeckner said.

Kloeckner aspires to be the Minnesota Pork Ambassador because he wants to help promote the swine industry and it’s an opportunity to meet new people and share his ideas with others. Negative publicity from animal rights groups is one challenge he feels the swine industry faces. Kloeckner believes this problem can be combated with increases in advertising by the pork industry.

“Something needs to be done to decrease the negative publicity and I feel that I can help take action,” Kloeckner said.

Olmsted County Matthew Welter, the son of Randy and Myrna Welter of Stewartville, is ambassador for the Olmsted County Pork Ambassadors Association.

Welter plans to attend Iowa State University, Ames, to pursue a bachelor’s degree in agricultural biochemistry and to eventually earn his doctorate degree in agricultural biochemistry. His career goal is to work in plant genomics for a seed company.

Welter is involved in FFA, soccer, track and field, band, National Honor Society and church youth group. Welter looks to his role models for advice. Challenges Welter sees for the pork producers are the PRRS virus and feed cost increases. A positive outlook, the willingness to work with others and the ability to strike-up conversations with strangers are strengths that Welter can bring to the Minnesota Pork Ambassador program.

“I am a very friendly person who can have good conversations with almost anyone,” Welter said.

Scott County Maria Brekke, the daughter of Jon and Barb Brekke of Shakopee, is the Scott County Pork Producers Association Ambassador. Brekke is a University of Minnesota student with majors in history, English and Arabic studies. She plans to travel abroad after college and serve as a diplomat and ambassador. Strong communication skills and swine industry knowledge are qualities that Brekke has to offer as Minnesota Pork Ambassador.

“Having to educate my friends and other consumers about pork products is something I do on a daily basis,” Brekke said.

Being part of a family that has been involved in agriculture for generations is the primary reason her interest in the swine industry continues to grow. If selected as Minnesota Pork Ambassador, Brekke says she’ll communicate with consumers and lead other young agricultural advocates. Issues that face pork producers is the balance between the economies of scale and environmental concerns. She believes these issues can be addressed through economic, environmental and animal health research.

Some experiences that have influenced Brekke are participation in 4H, serving as a National 4-H Conference delegate to Washington, D.C., and the emphasis her family places on hard work and determination.

Steele County Alyssa Anderson, the daughter of Brian and Candace Anderson of Owatonna, represents the Steele County Pork Producers Association as its ambassador.

Anderson is a University of Minnesota student pursuing a degree in veterinary medicine with an emphasis in swine. Anderson achieved her goal of being accepted into the VetFAST program this spring and looks forward to course work that will prepare her to be a swine veterinarian.

Creativity, self-motivation, responsibility, perseverance and a vast knowledge of swine production are just a few skills that Anderson has to offer the pork industry if selected as the Minnesota Pork Ambassador.

“The Minnesota Pork Ambassador Program will allow me to share my unique experiences in the swine industry with consumers,” Anderson said.

Experiences that have had an impact on Anderson’s goals are working on a hog farm, job shadowing numerous veterinarians and obtaining good grades. Anderson’s experiences have not only motivated her to be a swine veterinarian but have also inspired her to be an advocate for the pork industry. Issues Anderson says the pork industry faces are odor, animal welfare and the way society views the swine industry.

“I have many ideas that could help the pork industry overcome challenges it faces and decrease the target that is on our industry,” she said.

PORK, from pg. 26F as ambassador. Anderson will be attending North Dakota State University, Fargo, N.D., to pursue an education in animal science and agricultural economics. Her career goal is to return to her family’s farm and take over their swine operation in partnership with her cousins.

Working in the CHS Miracle of Birth Center at the Minnesota State Fair taught Anderson how to more effectively communicate with consumers about modern pork production and the safety of pork. Anderson is a state FFA proficiency winner in diversified livestock.

Through her supervised agriculture experience, Anderson has gained hands-on experience in several areas of production agriculture. Anderson feels the issues most critical to pork production today are animal welfare, feeding the world with limited resources and herd health.

“To address these issues we need to work together to educate the general public on what we, as producers, do to provide consumers with the highest-quality pork possible,” Anderson said.

Stevens County Lloyd Lesmeister, the son of Wayne and Jean Lesmeister of Morris, is the Stevens County Pork Producers Association Ambassador. He attends North Dakota State University, Fargo, N.D., where he studies animal science. Lesmeister plans to earn a master’s degree in animal science with the goal of working for a large company within the livestock industry.

Public speaking, leadership skills and swine production knowledge are qualities he can offer the Minnesota Pork Ambassador program.

“Some experiences that have influenced my goals are being heavily involved in livestock events, which have allowed me to increase my passion for animal agriculture,” he said.

Lesmeister views PRRS as a challenge the swine industry is facing. He believes that the industry can address this issue by continuing research to eliminate the PRRS virus. If selected as Minnesota Pork Ambassador, Lesmeister would like to inform the public about the swine industry.

“I feel that people are unaware of how well we take care of our animals to ensure that the pork is a high-quality product,” Lesmeister said.

Marketon studies agricultural education at the University of Minnesota. Her post-college goals are to promote hog production in the United States and to work at growing U.S. pork exports.

“Export markets are important to me because many commodities, especially hogs, are exported around the world,” Marketon said.

Impact of growing food — Family farmers are job creators

THE LAND, FARMFEST ANNUAL 2012

The political talk this summer is all about jobs and job creators. Much of this discussion often seems to focus on urban jobs in manufacturing plants. That focus overlooks the important role agriculture plays in creating jobs in both rural communities and big cities.

Minnesota’s farm families created jobs through-

out the Great Recession. The strength of agriculture is a big reason why our state unemployment rate remains lower than the national average. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture reports that 342,000 Minnesotans have jobs because of the impact of growing and processing food. Those jobs are part of a total economic impact of $75 billion to Minnesota’s economy and a strong contributor to our

state’s export strength. Minnesota exports of corn, soybeans, wheat, pork, beef, dairy products, poultry and a host of other items bring about $5 billion of additional money into our state each year.

The economic engine that is Minnesota agriculture starts at the kitchen tables of farm families throughout the state. For while farming is a big business in Minnesota, the business of farming in Minnesota is family driven. According to U.S. Department of Agriculture statistics, 95 percent of Minnesota farms are family owned.

Other than family ownership, there is no standard way to Farm families describe Minnesota famare the main ily farms.

The ways that Minnesota family farms create jobs is just as varied as the landscape of our state.

The business plans and economic impact of these family farms are only part of the story. Farm families are the main drivers improving the fabric of many rural communities. They are the ones who invest time in making a difference by serving on township boards, hospital boards, school boards and church councils.

Despite all the good they do, farm families often do not receive the recognition they deserve. The University of Minnesota started the Farm Family of the Year program some 30 years ago to recognize successful farm families for their impact on our economy and rural communities.

This year, families from 76 Minnesota counties will be recognized for their contributions to agriculture, our economy and rural communities at an Aug. 9 ceremony at Farmfest, the state’s largest farm gathering. The University of Minnesota is proud to lead this effort to recognize the contributions of farm families.
