Congressional talk is cheap, inaction expensive Somewhere along the line the lazy dog days of August turned loud and bitter.

Three years ago, August was consumed by what was to be a debate on national health care but quickly turned into a shouting match that found Grandma standing before government-led “death panels.”

The noise lessened that winter and the Affordable Care Act became law in early 2010.

Not much.

In Washington, the Senate, which completed its 2012 farm bill in June, awaits the House to act on its ag committee’s recently-passed proposal. Until the House passes that bill all work on any farm bill remains on hold and nothing can be done to marry the two plans together in time for September action.

Like the 32 times before, however, the vote was meaningless posturing because actual repeal requires the Senate to repeal and a presidential signature, and neither of those actions had not and will not happen anytime soon.

So as replays of lost battles continue to consume our leaders’ time in Washington — the House has devoted 80 hours of floor debate to its 33 goingnowhere votes to repeal the health law and, as of July 25, not one minute to the 2012 farm bill — no one seems If a 2012 farm bill deal is out of reach, so too may be any disaster-based capable of focusing on our farm and food needs for the coming year. action.

Letter: Start with Congress cuts

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

To the Editor: Jim Woster’s column that was reprinted in the “Land Minds” space in the July 20issue of The Land was well written and I agree that we are an entitlement society. I also know there is no free lunch. I have known about Jim for a long time and I do respect his opinion.

However, when we talk about cuts, everyone goes to a similar part of our society. I have no problem with his analogy, but let’s include another segment that no one ever mentions. How about our Washington crew?

They line up at the trough and never seem to think they are required to make any kind of sacrifice.

How about they go on that same health insurance that we are required to have? How about them having a not-so-lucrative retirement program? How about they take a cut in salary? How about them giving up some of the fringe benefits,both the ones we know about and the ones that we don’t?

They make all of the problems that we have, and then have the nerve to not repair any of them. How about not spending so much in the future and practicing a little fiscal responsibility?

I think my frustrations are about the same as anyone else in our rural communities. I sure wish they would change for the better.

To the Editor: I have read The Land for many years and find it useful. I have read Alan Guebert for many years and have found him sometimes interesting and sometimes useless.

His July 20 column causes me to write to you because it’s totally against everything on the subject and it causes me to think about him in my broader view as follows.

• I am generally disdainful of activism because it is all about being negative or against issues, and never about how to proceed in solving issues. It takes very few brains to be against issues; that is easy and many people join that activity. It takes brains and tenacity to figure out solutions and relatively few people join that camp.

• Guebert’s July 20 column finally galvanizes my opinion about him: he is always about criticizing issues/situations and never about actual solutions. Tens of millions (maybe hundreds of millions) know how to do that. I will not read another Guebert column and I suggest you are wasting your money if you are actually paying him for these columns.

• If he is doing his columns for free, well then heck, keep throwing him in the mix. After all, I did not say I would stop reading your magazine, only I will not read Guebert.

You do have quite a few contributors who actually have solution ideas on many subjects. I appreciate that.

Commentary: Is urban farming an urban myth?

I recently read an article that waxed eloquently about the virtues of urban farming in the United States and Canada, using the example of someone who was growing lettuce in the saddlebags of a rusted, old bicycle leaning against a garage. True, this was the delightful handiwork of a resourceful and imaginative gardener, but the author got carried away and used this as yet another example of how the urban farming movement has a meaningful impact on the nation’s overall food supply. As if four heads of lettuce were really going to have an impact on feeding the world.

First a little disclosure — I spend many happy hours in my half-acre urban garden attempting to grow raspberries, cherries, pears, apples, hazelnuts, kiwis, tomatoes, zucchinis, etc., with varying degrees of success where I once had lawns. Unfortunately, natural maples (I also harvest the syrup) have matured and rendered my fruit trees unproductive in recent years. Furthermore, squirrels, groundhogs and birds, including gold finches and the occasional wild turkey, share my harvest. As enjoyable as my hobby is, highlighted by more tomatoes than we can possibly eat or preserve over six weeks, my efforts have little impact on our family’s food requirements, although rela-

tives, friends and neighbors do appreciate my fleeting bounty. This year has been a disaster; a hail storm has left my veggies a tattered mess.

Indeed, to compare my gardening effort to farming would be akin to elevating a stamp collector to postmaster.

OPINION

sights, universities, airports, etc., where nothing can be planted. Realistically, I would be surprised if the food production potential of the available urban land would amount to even 1 percent of that available on conventional farms utilizing open fields, pastures and rangeland.

At any garden center there are mountains of topsoil available in convenient plastic bags and by the truckload. That soil does not just ‘happen;’ it was once farmland that has forever been removed from productivity in its natural setting.

Taking a look at the big picture of national land use places the movement in perspective. The U.S. landmass is classified at 2.1 percent urban and 19.5 percent cultivated farmland (pasture and rangeland are not included). While the farmland is 100 percent dedicated to and capable of producing food, the urban landscape was originally selected because of a natural harbor or other factors usually related to convenient transportation. Thus, the quality of the urban terrain is often marginal for food production. Indeed, the world is a better place where cities do not spring up on prime farmland. Then there is the clutter of houses, schools, hospitals, roads, railways, office buildings, historic

Then there is the question, “where are all those urban dwellers with the skills and the inclination to seriously grow food?” I maintain there has been plenty of hype and encouragement in recent years for city folk to get out and grow food. It would be surprising if there is a latent population of closet gardeners who might spontaneously become active and tear up their lawns and make a go with veggies or fruit trees. It is doubtful if even this 1 percent of potential urban land resource could ever be utilized, given the lack of enthusiastic and capable gardeners.

However, it should be noted that in developing countries food security issues, land use patterns, the presence

of recent migrants with farming skills and household labor ability are quite different than in North America and, in such an environment, significant quantities of food are produced in urban settings.

What about the sustainability of urban farming in North America? At any garden center there are mountains of topsoil available in convenient plastic bags and by the truckload. That soil does not just “happen;” it was once farmland that has forever been removed from productivity in its natural setting. For example, as my urban home is located on a stony ridge, the original owners of the house brought in black soil by the truckload so they could have a lawn and plant some foliage and flowers. This is a classic case of urban land that was unsuitable for agriculture being made somewhat arable at the expense of productive farmland. Does anyone worry about “soil miles?”

Another often overlooked factor with urban farming is the water requirement. The water we get delivered to our homes by pipelines is potable and from a sophisticated and costly treatment system that is has little excess capacity for irrigation. For good reason, watering of lawns is frequently banned or restricted during dry periSee URBAN, pg. 8A

Letter: We put our faith, trust in Christ to save us To the Editor: This is in reply to Assistant Editor Tom Royer’s July 6 opinion and this comment that the Bible is not clear.

Why because one chooses to have sex with his roommate should one receive special recognition and a tax break?

As for the Bible, read Romans chapter 1: “For the truth about God is known by man. God has put this knowledge in our hearts. Instead of believing the truth about God, they believe lies. Men instead of having normal sex relationships with woman burn with lust for each other. Men doing shameful things with other men.”

Just like legalizing abortion doesn’t take away the post-abortion depression, neither will marriage free gays.

The Good News tells us that God makes us ready for heaven, makes us right in God’s sight, when we put our faith and trust in Christ to save us.

OPINION

Letter: Editorial touched heart, mind, soul To the Editor: A brief note to thank The Land Assistant Editor Tom Royer for his wonderful editorial on the “marriage amendment.” I appreciated it a great deal.

Years ago, before I retired as a United Methodist minister, a very insightful friend said that every ser-

mon should touch the heart, mind and soul of those who listen. I would imagine the same could be said of an editorial, and this did. I took the liberty of sharing it on my Facebook page. Thank you again.

Gardening will not feed the world URBAN, from pg. 6A ods. Furthermore, the gardener with the saddlebags (where did his soil come from?) and indeed all plants growing in containers face accelerated evaporation and require a lot more water to thrive than those plants growing in conventional soil.

Rooftop gardens for food production are also water guzzlers, given that the thin layer of soil on a cement surface requires much more than naturally provided by rain. This is because such a base for plants leads to higher soil temperature levels, accelerated evaporation and an inability to develop subsurface moisture reserves. Yes, household gray wastewater is a potential resource, but how many homes are realistically capable of capturing the water from showers, washing machines and the kitchen sink? In Toronto, to enhance city beautification, to reduce air conditioning energy requirements and to control waste water run off, all new commercial, industrial and public buildings with a flat roof of over 2,000 square feet must be developed (city bylaw) into some sort of garden. Because of the

water issue, food production is out of the question and sedums, with their drought-tolerant waxy leaves, are the plant of choice. The cost of such gardens run at $270 a square foot or over $11 million per acre, which is about 3,000 times more expensive than some of the best prime farmland. Not much promise here to feed the world.

As hobbies go, gardening arguably tops the list of activities that provide exercise, exposure to nature and a sense of pride in producing fresh nutritious food. Furthermore, as all human indulgences have some impact on the environment, the guilty pleasure of using some topsoil or water from the hose to grow a bit of food is perfectly acceptable. However, the bottom line is that urban farming is a myth when it comes to being a significant contributor to the nation’s food supply.

Gardeners everywhere — just get out there and enjoy yourselves and the bounty of your efforts. The burden of feeding the world, or even your community, should not be your concern.

DAIRY, from pg. 12A out having to add any seed.”

The Hoffmans generally milk their Jerseys in their four-stall flat parlor two times a day during the height of the grass season. They have experimented with oncea-day milking but haven’t been entirely satisfied.

“We lose about 30 percent of the production when we milk only once a day,” Marv said. “Later in the season we do drop back to one time a day in preparation to drying the cows up in November.”

Cheese making itself reduces the milk quantity by a substantial percentage.

“When you make cheese it is normal to get a 10 percent to 12 percent yield,” Kathy said. “In other words, up to 90 percent of a batch of milk ends up as whey.”

Whey, however, is not a waste product on the Hoffman farm.

The major use for whey, however, is whey forage, to raise pigs. and food “You can raise pigs feedscraps from the ing them solely on whey garden. forage, and food scraps from the garden,” Marv — Marv Hoffman said. “There’s no grain to buy. This year all our pigs were spoken for before we got them for the summer.”

Not all of the milk at Fruitful Seasons Dairy goes to make cheese. The Hoffmans also feed their calves some milk from a milk bar.

“Last year we separated the calves from the cows and fed them from a milk bar,” Marv said. “This year we started out with a nurse cow. It worked great for the calves but not so great for the cow. She had three calves on her and was getting too thin, getting damaged teats, and the calves mostly ignored one of her quarters. So we put her back with the herd and got the calves back on the milk bar. The calves also have kelp and salt on their own pastures.”

The cows start to freshen with new calves in early April, just before the grass starts to grow. They have their own pasture near a loafing barn. The youngest calves are kept in the loafing barn, on deep-bedded straw, until they are old enough to graze.

Fruitful Seasons Dairy is diverse with its Jersey cows and its whey-fed pigs. The family also raises layer hens and fryer chickens.

“My sons are responsible for the hens,” Marv said.

The Hoffmans welcome customers and visitors to the farm. They prefer to have them come on Saturdays so they can focus on farm work and selling at farmers markets throughout the week. But the customer contact is important to them.

“We like to show people how their food is raised and where it came from,” Marv said.

Fruitful Seasons also sells cheese to the Whole Farm Cooperative in Long Prairie, Minn., and can be visited online at www.fruitfulseasonsdairy.com. ❖

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent If you want to grow garlic for sale, you had better count the cost. The cost in labor, that is.

That’s the advice of Gene Raak, who has been growing and selling garlic for eight years on his farm between Edgerton and Trosky, Minn.

Over the years he has known a couple of folks who saw what garlic sold for, did the math, and liked what they saw. Garlic could be quite profitable.

“They’ll put in 10,000 to 30,000 plants,” Raak said.

“That lasts about one year. They find out how much labor it takes and that’s the end of that.”

Eight years ago Raak purchased Dakota Garlic from After the garlic is the family that planted, I chop started it in North my bean stubble Dakota. The purchase involved a database and put that of customers, a couple over top of it as pieces of equipment mulch, because and some seed stock. garlic does not He had sold his dairy like huge swings cattle and decided to embark on a new venin temperature. ture.

(What’s available in supermarkets is primarily the softneck garlic shipped in from California or China.)

It is a labor-intensive crop. He does what he can mechanically, beginning with hilling the soil.

“The soil is good and rich around here and makes a nice size bulb,” Raak said, “but it is heavy wet soil and garlic does not like wet saturated soil.” So he hills the soil and makes a planting trench down the middle. Planting happens in October.

Each bulb averages five cloves, and they must be separated by hand to avoid bruising. Then each clove must be hand planted, with the growing point up.

“No machine can do that,” he said. He fills the trenches back in mechanically.

He plants 40-inch rows, one clove about every six inches. That translates to roughly 30,000 cloves per acre. Last fall he planted 40,000 cloves, and hopes to expand this year.

“After the garlic is planted, I chop my bean stubble and put that over top of it as mulch, because garlic does not like huge swings in temperature,” he said.

“It can take cold, but not the big swings that come around March.”

The plant takes root in the fall, lies dormant over winter, and begins to grow in the spring. The next piece of hand labor comes during the growing seaSee GARLIC, pg. 15A

While Gene Raak does sell garlic to consumers for eating, he warns buyers that his hardneck garlic is much more flavorful than the softneck found in supermarkets.

gested the fire-breathing dragons in Chinese folklore were just ordinary people who had eaten too much garlic.)

Ninety-five percent of his sales are as seed stock sold from his website, and three-fourths of that goes to the East Coast.

“They’ve been hit with garlic bloat nematode, which has raised havoc with their garlic,” Raak said.

The agricultural websites of Eastern colleges describe the bloat nematode as a plant parasite that can affect not just garlic but all of the allium plants, such as onions and leaks. It entered the northeastern United Sates from Canada and ruined some entire fields in New England.

“It’s been working its way west,” Raak said. “Last summer there were two places in Minnesota that tested positive.”

Because of that, all vendors at the Minnesota Garlic Festival in August are required to test for bloat nematode.

Raak’s test came back negative, as See GARLIC, pg. 16A

GARLIC, from pg. 14A son. Each plant puts out a scape, a woody tentacle that grows up from the plant. To keep the scape from using energy needed to grow the bulb, he walks the rows and snaps off the scapes.

Harvest happens in July. Raak has modified a potato digger to unearth the garlic bulbs. Each bulb is picked up and taken home where — by hand — the roots are trimmed off, the stalk is cut back to within three inches of the bulb, and the bulb is washed.

He has converted his old milk house to a climate-controlled drying facility, and made special drying racks for forced-air drying. After a three-week curing stage that puts it into dormancy, the garlic is ready for shipping.

Raak will sell garlic for eating, and when he does he warns the buyer that hardneck garlic has much more flavor than the softneck garlic found in supermarkets.

“I tell them use half as much as you are used to using, because if you use the same amount it will be way overpowering,” he said.

2012 proving to be challenging growing season GARLIC, from pg. 15A he expected. He has a closed system. Each year he keeps back his own garlic for the fall planting. Also, since bloat nematode is a soil-based problem, it is recommended that garlic be planted on a four-year rotation. Raak uses a six-year rotation.

Raak is not alone in growing Minnesota garlic.

There is a Minnesota Garlic Festival held each August in Hutchinson where 13 growers will be selling garlic.

The festival’s website says they limit the number of vendors and invites other growers to sign up for a waiting list. Most do not grow on the scale that Raak does, but grow the garlic along with other produce they market.

“Last fall we planted it in dry ground, and I planted extra deep to get it into the moisture,” he said. “They survived the winter pretty well. The warm early spring in March brought them out of dormancy. They sprouted, came up, and then we had

three nights in a row when the temperature got down to 21 F. That injured them, but they came back.

Then we had three weeks of wet weather that caused root rot to start, followed by dry weather, 90-degree temperatures, and high winds. I’m surprised it’s alive at all.”

Raak said it is not going to be a bumper crop. “I do give it credit — it’s a pretty resilient plant,” he said.

“I will know by the first of August what I have to sell.

I sold out last year in about three weeks. I’ve already got orders for several hundred pounds.”

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer With many farmers, tractors sort of get in their blood.

Often that means that instead of trading in the old rig it sort of just David Kuehl hangs around the farm. Sometimes it pulls corn and bale wagons. Sometimes it PTOs the grain auger. Sometimes it gets cranked up when the grandkids come to visit. Sometimes it just collects dust and rust.

However, for unexplainable reasons a good number of these old-time memory tractors show up at the big Butterfield, Minn., Steam & Gas Engine Show — locally known as the Butterfield Threshing Bee — every year the third weekend of August.

David Kuehl, Ormsby, Minn., farmer started hauling his 1938 B John Deere to Butterfield a few years back. “And as long as both my tractor and me are still running, I’ll keep bringing it back. I’m just a poor old farm kid and I like my John Deere tractors so this parade is a good way for me to show my old time favorites.”

Getting your old tractor into this big show is no big deal. Kuehl said, “you haul your tractor to the show, you register. If you want to be in the parade they give you a magnetic number to display on your tractor. At the starting end of the parade your number gets called back to the announcer’s booth. Someone in the booth pulls out your registration info so when you and your tractor get to the announcer’s booth he’s got the name, age, model of your tractor plus who’s the clown driving this old rig.

“There’s no cost, plus I got two of the $8 Butterfield show buttons. So it’s like they paid me $16 just to bring my old John Deere for the parade.”

Between he and his son, seven JDs are in the power lineup at the Kuehl farm, plus two of his dad’s old M Farmalls and an 8N Ford. Next year that old B stays home and gets replaced by a JD 435. “There were only 4,600 of those built. I’ve only seen three in my lifetime and I’ve owned this one for 35 years so it’s pretty special.”

Why the green blood in Kuehl’s veins? It started with his dad who had a John Deere A but David admits the M Farmall was a better tractor so two of those got into the lineup. “But then the neighbors started buying 4020s (John Deere) and they looked pretty good so I bought a 4010 and I’ve had John Deeres ever since. My son doesn’t even know there’s another color,” said Kuehl, always ready to embellish the “truth” with his own flavor. ❖

event goes back 45 years since he grew up just 3 miles north of town.

Around 300 tractors of all ages, manufacturers and sizes participated in the 2011 parade.

“I started coming out here when I was 6 years Bryan Ebbenga old and have been sort of hooked on this event ever since,” said Ebbenga, who said his family has been in the business of selling tractor books and operator manuals since the late-1970s. “I have a little company called Antique Tractor Supply so this tractor business is deep in my blood. I owned by first tractor, a 1936 model F12, when I was 13 years old. It was built in November of 1936 so it was one of the first red tractors.

His second tractor was a 1956 Allis Chalmers WD45 but his most enjoyable tractors survive? He said they only had 6 percent market were the Olivers. From about 1935 and into the share even though they were the first to use the 1960s he felt the Oliver brand was the most modern assembly-line system for mass-produced tractors. tractor being built. “They were ahead of other brands They also were the first to use the word “tractor” in in special features,” Ebbenga said. “They used a six- their advertising.

It had live PTO, live Plus, the Oliver was a more expensive tractor and hydraulics and in the ’60s they introduced the hydro never captured enough market share to survive in shift transmission which I think was one step above the tremendously competitive world of tractor sales. the International TA system.

Soybean farmers visit China, see key export market

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Twenty-nine Minnesota soybean farmers took a bit of a trip earlier this year. They traveled to China as part of a “See for Yourself” mission of the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association.

“We wanted to show our soybean pro-

ducers the positive things that are happening as a result of their checkoff dollars,” said Paul Simonson, vice chairman of the Minnesota Soybean Growers Research and Promotion Council.

“And since China is the largest international market of Minnesota soybeans, China was our destination.”

None of these Minnesota growers “One day we drove about 50 miles in the had ever been to China; few had even country and did see two small tractors. So traveled overseas before. “So it was hand labor is still how much of China’s indeed an eye-opening experience crops are handled.

Simonson: Chinese buyers want to meet our farmers comes to buying and selling U.S. soybeans. These people like sitting at the table with Minnesota farmers. They’d rather talk to a farmer than the big corporation guys. They trust our farmers and they want their opinions,” Simonson said.

He said most of the Chinese business people speak English because English is now taught beginning in early grades in their schools. The older people who

run these trading houses don’t speak English but interpreters were provided.

With significant reductions apparent in the 2012 U.S. soybean crop, will there likely be significant cutbacks in checkoff dollars? Likely, Simonson said, indicating that when final production figures are available there will be some decisions on what to do, and what not to do, for 2013 programs. ❖

AgStar video contest for FFA, 4-H participants To celebrate agricultural education, AgStar has launched a purple ribbon video contest, asking participants to showcase their life as a fair showman.

AgStar will announce the winners of the contest at the Grand Opening/Dedication of the AgStar Arena at the Minnesota State Fair on Aug. 23.

The winners of the three age groups, aged 14-21, will receive a $500 scholarship. Contestants will compete for “likes” on Facebook.

Steve Pomerenke, associate vice president of financial services at AgStar, said that AgStar recognizes the importance of reaching out to organizations such as 4H and FFA, who are heavily involved in their county fair and the Minnesota State Fair. “The 4-H and FFA organizations are an important training ground for the next generation of agricultural leaders. The young people in 4-H and FFA learn life skills that will be invaluable to their future careers. They develop communication skills, a strong work ethic, responsibility, the ability to work as a team and decision making skills. AgStar Financial Services believes in the future of agriculture, and 4-H and FFA members will play a large role in agriculture’s future,” Pomerenke said.

To enter the contest, contestants will produce a video that shows their preparation of their animal for the fair.

Contestants will be divided into three age groups: 14-15 years old, 16-18 years old and 19-21 years old.

Videos should be no longer than two minutes.

Videos must be submitted by Aug. 12. Voting takes place Aug. 13-19. For complete contest rules, log on to http://agstar.com/Pages/Rules.aspx. Wisconsin residents in AgStar’s service area are also eligible to enter the contest. ❖

CHINA, from pg. 20A According to Simonson, the global economic slowdown appeared to be affecting the Chinese economy as well. He said in the big cities, like Shanghai, huge building cranes were everywhere but they were mostly just sitting there doing nothing. Yet wherever they traveled, Simonson said you could sense tremendous amounts of activity. “The younger generation is definitely on the go in China, too.”

Simonson said about half of U.S. soybean production is now being exported and about half of this total now goes to China. Southeast Asia, especially Vietnam, Indonesia, Japan, Korea and the Philippines are also growing markets for U.S. soybeans.

He mentioned two new soybean processing plants recently opened in Vietnam, and the United States will likely be a major source of soybeans for these plants.

“Our farmers got to see directly how checkoff dollars are being used to generate new markets for our beans.

They sat down across the table from Chinese business people who are buying our Minnesota beans so they got a feeling of what’s it like to sit down and ‘do some bargaining’ on the value of our product.

“We weren’t buying and selling but it was a prime example of how the business world functions when it

‘Seed Queen’ lives on in book, State Fair display

By TIM KING The Land Correspondent Lillian Colton entered crop art competitions at the Minnesota State Fair from 1966 until 2006. During those four decades visiting with Lillian and seeing her work was an important part of a visit to the State Fair for thousands of Minnesotans.

They wanted to see what Lillian had been up to during the last year.

She eventually became known as

the “Queen of Crop Art” and, in 2004, became only the second woman to be inducted into the Minnesota State Fair Hall of Fame.

Lillian Colton died in 2007. That same year Colleen Sheehy completed writing, and the Minnesota Historical Society Press published, “Seed Queen: The Story of Crop Art and The Amazing Lillian Colton.”

Minnesota’s Dakota War: Personal accounts behind the scenes

left in their “kubbe rulle” — wagon with solid wooden wheels — pulled by oxen, but they never reached their destination of St. Peter, Minn.

When the family of four came upon a man who had been massacred, the bloody scene caused the oxen to become uncontrollable. Their third child also chose that moment to be born, so they took refuge at the Gurit and Olie Sobel farm. Torgrim returned home to retrieve pork and flour to augment the dwindling food supply at the Sobel’s.

A long line of Dakotas approached him as he neared his cabin. The chief pulled Torgrim’s hair and made a sign of scalping him to demonstrate his fate if he didn’t leave. Torgrim recognized the chief covered with war paint as the man whose life he had previously saved.

THE LAND, AUGUST 3, 2012

By CAROLYN VAN LOH The Land Correspondent The Dakota War of 1862 is often overshadowed by the nation’s Civil War; however, this year marks the sesquicentennial anniversary of the war that dramatically affected Minnesotans, especially those living in southern Minnesota.

Accounts of the conflict between white settlers and the Dakota tribe vary in their perspective of the causes, the participants and the outcomes of the battle. Survivors of the war often wrote from a personal perspective, but they didn’t have the volumes of resources available to contemporary writers.

Torgrim and Ingrid Torgrimson’s experience was preserved primarily through family oral tradition until descendants began recording their story, beginning with their journey from Norway in 1852.

The eight-week boat trip brought them to Quebec, but the immigrants settled near Beloit, Wis., for a few years. In 1857, Torgrim and his cousin Omsrud laid claim to land in Brown County, Minn., making them among the first white settlers in the area.

The Torgrimsons were spared the atrocities of the 1862 war because of their friendly relationship with the Native Americans. Ingrid gave them things like salt, pork and fresh bread when she was able to. One time, however, she had nothing to give, so the Indians stole a pig to demonstrate their displeasure.

Torgrim supplied his family with meat from a trap line stretching from Hanska north to New Ulm. The Native Americans knew where the traps were, and they sometimes skinned the trapped animals, took the meat and left the skins for Torgrim to sell because they knew white settlers didn’t eat muskrats or mink.

One time Torgrim found a Dakota man unconscious and near death on a frozen lake known to the Dakotas as “minne hanska” meaning “long water,” today’s Lake Hanska. Torgrim took the man home where he and

High school rodeo cutting debuts at Minnesota State Fair

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Something new at this year’s Minnesota State Fair will be taking place 11 a.m. Aug. 29 in the new Ag Star Livestock Arena. And if you like watching kids on horseback you’re going to see some real action.

Leanne Oftedahl of Pemberton, Minn., and volunteer for Region 4 of the State High School Rodeo Association, said, “we’re talking about the High School Rodeo Cutting Competition. This cutting horse event has been in high school rodeos for several years but this is the first time we’re doing it at the State Fair. In past years we would do this competition at different locations around the state.”

Cutting is where a horse and rider are judged on their ability to separate a single animal away from a cattle herd and keep it away for a short period of time.

“Being able to stage this event at the State Fair and inside this fantastic new arena is a thrill for all of us in the horse world. And I know the kids will be even more excited. The State Fair is just something special for all livestock people, but especially for kids and their horses.”

She expects upwards of 16 youngsters competing in this new event, which includes divisions for both young men and young ladies, and is open only to high schoolers. Her son Submitted

Chance Oftedahl of Pemberton, Minn., will be bringing his cutting skills to the Minnesota State Fair this year. Above, he is competing in the 2012 National High School Rodeo Final in Rock Springs, Wyo.

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

Chance, a junior this fall at St. Clair High School will be in his third year of competition. Two years ago he was the reserve champion cutter, this year he was state champion in the high school rodeo cutting competition.

He rides a quarter horse named Missy and also competes in steer wrestling and team roping, events staged at the older livestock pavilion at the State Fair.

Oftedahl said, “there seems to be growing interest in high school kids in horseback riding. And when you can get them involved in competitive events like this the interest is that much stronger. Yes, horses are somewhat expensive hobbies but you watch kids with horses and you can sense some real companionship. Kids learn a bunch about themselves and responsibilities when they have a horse.” ❖

It’s that time of the year again.

Students have entered another phase of their academic lives, and there is so much to take care of at once — excelling in academics and sports, eating healthy and staying stress-free.

Many students live away from their homes during college, and a pet can be a great companion when students miss having their family around.

But a big question remains: Is maintaining a pet while at college a good idea? “Having a pet in college has its challenges but it is not impossible,” said M.A. Crist, clinical assistant professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences.

Students need to think about a number of factors before deciding to own a pet. An important consideration is the amount of time the owner is prepared to spend.

“Pets need to be walked, fed and socialized and this can take up quite a bit of a student’s free time,” Crist said. Hence, aquarium pets like fish, which only need regular maintenance, are a good choice — especially when sharing apartments with roommates.

Similarly, cats make great indoor pets for students who do not have time for walks. Dogs are a popular choice even though they require more time for walks and socialization.

“More and more college towns are developing dog parks to have areas where students can enjoy their canine friends,” Crist said.

Apartment complexes may sometimes require special deposits for keeping pets and students need to plan for that extra expense. Some students love horses, but they need to make arrangements for a stall at an equine facility and a pasture for riding.

Pet nutrition is another concern for many students.

Veterinarians recommend specific diets for pets based on individual requirements.

According to Crist, the most important thing in pet nutrition is “to maintain continuity.” A constantly changing diet can cause gastrointestinal problems like diarrhea and vomiting. In some cases, this may even lead to illness or death, she said. However, healthy pets can be maintained on a student budget.

“Many manufacturers of the commercial pet foods will provide coupons for your pet if you contact the company directly by e-mail,” Crist said. “Such student discount coupons are also available on the internet. Keeping our furry, feathered or scaly pet friends on a good quality diet will save money in the future to avoid unnecessary veterinary visits and expense.”

A new pet needs to have an initial visit to the vet and must finish the series of puppy/kitten vaccinations. “It is recommended to spay or neuter, and microchip their pet, as well as keep them on heartworm and flea prevention,” Crist said.

From shooting-competition rookie to unexpected champ Most shooters would agree that when ducks are settling into the decoys, it’s all about picking a target and letting instinct take over.

Most hunters also would agree that shooting in organized competitive events like trap, skeet or sporting clays is far different.

THE OUTDOORS The calculated act of stepBy John Cross ping up to the line or shooting station offers all kinds of opportunities for self-doubts and what-ifs to creep into an undisciplined shooters mind — a good case of the yips.

Having hunted everything from ducks to deer since he was 5, Adam Burt certainly knows how to handle a shotgun in the field.

But as it turns out, the young man can give a pretty good accounting for himself in the highenergy, high-tension environment of the shooting line, too.

In his first attempt ever at sporting clays, the 17year-old Mankato (Minn.) East High School senior shot his way to top honors in the C Class 28 Gauge Competition recently during the National Sporting Clays Association’s U.S. Open Championship, hosted by the Caribou Gun Club near Le Sueur, Minn.

“He’d never shot competitively, never shot an overunder, never shot a 28 gauge before last Sunday,” said his father, Mike Burt.

when I saw all of those trophies lined up, I thought I’d really like to shoot,” Adam said.

“Problem was, while I was signed up to shoot, he wasn’t,” Mike said. “And to tell you the truth, I really didn’t have the $300 for the registration,” “But then the vendor I was helping out said ‘well, why didn’t you say he wanted to shoot’,” he said. In no time, Adam was registered to shoot in the big event, courtesy of Brunton Optics.

The only catch was that the only category still available for registration was in the adult Class for 28-gauge shotguns, which presented challenges.

First of all, the 28-gauge is a relatively uncommon gun. Not too many shooters at any level own one.

Burt certainly didn’t.

And second, hitting whizzing targets with a 12gauge shotgun is tough; busting clay targets with the relatively petite 28-gauge with a far smaller payload is particularly challenging, even for experienced competitive shooters.

But the Browning Arms rep in the vendor booth next door happened to have a 28-gauge Grade 1 Citori in his display, which he offered to lend to Adam.

During his session on the course, he managed to break 73 out of 100 targets, not at all too shabby for rookie.

“I was looking at the score board for my name and didn’t see it,” Adam said, adding that he expected to be somewhere in the middle. Turns out, his expectations were too low. Way too low.

He should have been looking at the top of the board, where he was tied for first place with a veteran competitor.

Because of the tie, a shoot-off would be needed to determine the overall winner. But so late in the day, that presented yet another challenge since the borrowed Browning had been returned to the rep.

“By the time we figured out he needed to be in a shoot-off, the rep had left,” Burt said. With a shootoff scheduled for 6 p.m., CZ Arms offered up one of See CROSS, pg. 27A

firearms, he was required automatically to forfeit the shoot-off to Adam.

“I still would have liked to have an opportunity to have won it out-right,” Adam said.

Given what seems to be a natural talent, he is hoping to expand his opportunities to shoot in more events.

In the meantime, we’ve all heard that old saying about how the apple rarely falls too far from the tree.

Perhaps.

The elder Burt, a veteran competitive shooter, also competed in the U.S. Open Championships.

Spice up your weekend with a history helping of jambalaya My wife was able to check an item off her bucket list recently. She successfully ran a mini-marathon, a 13.1-mile trek weaving through downtown Louisville, Ky., and Churchill Downs.

I figured a milestone like that was worthy of a surprise gathering of friends and family, along with a big batch of authentic creole jambalaya.

I love dishes steeped in history. The origins of jambalaya seem to originate in the Spanish region with a dish known as paella.

Once the Spanish made it to the new world, they attempted to recreate their homeland dish. The end result is the American version called jambalaya.

The first actual written reference to this dish was in a cookbook from 1878.

There are two types — creole and Cajun. One main difference is creole uses tomatoes while Cajun does not. Today’s recipe is creole jambalaya. It’s basically a one-pot meal.

While it takes a while to prepare, it is worth it.

If you can, smoke the chicken. It adds an authentic outdoor flavor that enriches the dish.

In the video version I use smoked chicken thighs.

In my latest dish I used smoked chicken breasts.

Either works fine. You can view a video of the preparation of the dish at www.BBQMyWay.com.

Click on “poultry.”

A couple of suggestions before I send you down the road of authentic jambalaya. First, prepare, cut and chop all of your ingredients before you start cooking. Everything comes together quickly once you get rolling. Second, after you chop the jalapeno peppers, do not touch your face or rub your eyes until you have thoroughly washed your hands. I know this from experience.

One last thing. Use a big pot, or better yet, a large Dutch oven. This is a lot of jambalaya.

Creole Jambalaya 3 1/2 lbs. smoked chicken cut into bite-sized pieces. If not smoked, cooked.

2 lbs. smoked sausage — cut into slices 2 cups chopped bell peppers 2 cups chopped yellow onion 1 cup chopped celery 7 cloves chopped garlic 2 jalapeno peppers, seeds removed, unless you want things real spicy 1 bunch of green onions: Separate the white from the green. Chop both and keep separate 4 chopped tomatoes (14.5 oz. can of diced tomatoes is fine if tomatoes are not in season) 5 cups chicken broth

1 tsp. cayenne pepper 1 to 3 teaspoons of hot sauce 1/4 cup tomato paste 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper 1 tsp. of crushed dry thyme 1 bay leave 3 cups of brown or white rice (not the instant) 1 lb. of cooked shrimp Sauté the sausage in 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Once slightly browned, remove any excess oil and add the peppers, onion, celery, garlic, jalapeno peppers and whites of the green onions. Stir over medium heat until the onions are starting to become translucent. Now add all remaining ingredients and spices other than the rice.

Allow to simmer on low heat for an hour or so.

Add the rice and cover, leaving the heat on low or medium-low. Serve when rice is tender and all fluids are gone. If you choose to use brown rice, which in my opinion is the best option, add 45 minutes to the cooking time as brown rice takes longer to cook. Serve, topping each bowl with three or four pieces of pre-cooked shrimp.

Enjoy the delicious taste of history.

Drought-stressed crops are more susceptible to pest damage, and two-spotted spider mites are making the most of this year’s hot, dry weather.

University of Minnesota Extension researched spider mite control during the last major outbreaks in 1988, 2007 and 2009; the recommendations below are based on that research.

For farmers and crop advisers not familiar with spider mites, the damage they cause may be mistaken for drought symptoms. Infestations usually begin on fields edges, particularly adjacent to cut grass or alfalfa.

If you see a discoloration of the lower leaves on your soybeans or corn, you need to get in the field and scout for mites. To do so: • Start at the field edge where symptoms occur.

• Examine leaves from the bottom upwards. Look at the underside of leaves. Note yellow spots (stippling), webbing and how far up the plant the damage has progressed.

• Tap damaged leaves over a white sheet of paper and look for mites with a hand lens or magnifying glass. They are very small — half the size of a soybean aphid nymph.

• If mite presence is verified, it’s time to progress into the field. Move at least 100 feet into the field before making your first stop. Walk a “U” pattern, checking at least two plants at each of 20 locations.

• Check fields every four to five days if drought persists.

Treatment is recommended only if damage and mites are detected throughout the field. Edge treatments are not effective since mites are usually spreading throughout the field before any visual symptoms are noticed.

For soybeans, a general guideline is that if stippling reaches mid-canopy leaves, a treatment is likely necessary. For corn, the goal is simply to keep damage from reaching the ear leaf; treat when the lower onefourth to one-third of the canopy shows damage and mites can be seen in the middle third of the canopy.

Spider mites live on the undersides of leaves and are more concentrated lower on the plant. If you decide to spray, canopy penetration is critical. Do not skimp on water — for ground applications, use 20 or more gallons per acre; for aerial applications, use 3 to 5 gallons. Evaluate control three to five days after spraying.

If you’ve decided that an infestation warrants spraying, don’t hold up a spray waiting for rain.

Instead, if rain is unlikely to occur before the spray dries, go ahead with the spray. Reducing spider mite pressure will allow the crop to take full advantage of any moisture from the rain.

If your field is infested with both spider mites and soybean aphids, base the treatment decision on the worse problem.

As drought intensifies, spider mites become the predominant problem and they are more difficult to control. Some aphid treatments can cause spider mite infestations to flare up, so check previously sprayed fields. For dual mite/aphid infestations, only chlorpyrifos and bifenthrin, and mixes containing

Grain Outlook December corn hits record $8

Grain Angles This will be a year of contrast

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

CORN — Mark it down, December corn set an alltime record high for that contract July 23, 2012, at $8 per bushel.

After the December contract started out the week on a firm note, it slipped slightly lower in consolidation fashion throughout the week on scattered rain events across the Midwest. The September contract drifted lower all week, narrowing the September-December inverse as basis levels stayed on the defenPHYLLIS NYSTROM sive.

This behavior can be typical of St. Paul rationing, which was confirmed by the extremely poor weekly export sales. Both old and new crop marketing years showed net cancellations. This is the first time since at least 1990 that this has occurred in both crop years during the same week.

Net cancellations for old crop were about one-half million bushels and 5.2 million bushels of new crop.

So why didn’t corn crash and burn if we’re in the process of rationing? There is still the uncertainty over what the national average corn yield will actually turn out to be since the crop has yet to stabilize and domestic demand has not totally dried up.

As of July 22, corn conditions fell 5 percent to 26 percent good/excellent. The report also indicated that 45 percent of the crop was rated poor/very poor, up 7 percent from the previous week. The crops in Illinois and Indiana are worse than 1988, Iowa

The livestock markets are trying hard to put in their respective seasonal lows as we move into August. Both the cattle and hogs will meet fairly stiff resistance from the packers as the packers try to hold on to their profit margins.

The cattle appear to be led once again by the futures market as commodity funds have stepped back into the long side of that market. The cash side of the market continues to struggle as beef cutouts continue to slide. This has made the packers reluctant to bid higher for live inventory as they try to protect their margins.

Surprisingly, weights have JOE TEALE remained well above a year ago Broker despite the fact that cattle feed- Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. ers are supposedly moving cattle before they are finished because of the drought and excessive heat. With the cold storage reflecting large quantities of beef in storage, it would seem that the cutouts will continue to remain weak until this abundant supply is dispersed.

The lack of moisture and the high temperatures have forced grain prices higher which has brought replacement cattle tumbling over the past month.

This weather pattern, should it remain for the near future, could force more cattle to market as well as continue to weigh on feeder cattle prices as the grain markets move higher. This would put into question whether or not the cattle market can sustain any significant rallies at this time from a fundamental standpoint.

On the other hand, if commodity funds continue to

This could be the year of the “Haves-and-the-HaveNots.” There are those who have received timely rains and those who have missed them. There are those who sold grain when prices looked to be headed lower and those who did nothing. There are those who have low land cost and those who have high land cost. Some people will enjoy incredible profits and others will struggle to cover their cost of production. This will truly be a year of contrast.

Drought-driven markets fueled by tight stocks and strong demand are beyond volatile, they are violent. These are the toughest markets to manage through TOM NEHER and decisions that we make can AgStar VP & Team Leader “leave a mark.” This places a — Grain Industry Rochester, Minn. paramount emphasis on the use of risk management tools, including cash forward, futures, options and hedge-to-arrive contracts. These are tools that we use to manage price risk.

Crop insurance is another powerful risk management set of tools. Multi-peril insurance policies help manage production risk, while the newer revenue insurance policies work to manage both price and production risk. The addition of hail insurance fills in much of the gap in production risk.

In an effort to manage the inherent risks in grain production, it is necessary to have a full toolbox of risk management tools and the knowledge of how to use the individual tools to maximize protection.

Grain producers have enjoyed some profitable years and the challenge will be to keep as much of the recent gains on the books.

to 35 percent. In 1988, the soybean yield was 81 percent of trend. If the same holds this year, the soybean yield would be near 35 bu./acre. As of July 22, 36 percent of the crop was setting pods as compared to 19 percent on average, keeping the time frame for improvement narrower than normal.

Another unanswered question is what will abandonment be this year?

Basis levels were steady/firmer this week and export sales were good for soybeans and meal. Old crop soybean sales were 7.1 million bushels, bringing total commitments for the year to 1.407 billion bushels. The USDA forecast has already been surpassed. New crop sales were 19 million bushels, bringing total new crop sales to 553.7 million or 40 percent of the USDA 1.37 billion bushel projection. Meal sales continue to impress at 150,500 metric tons old crop and 106,400 mt for new crop. New crop meal sales are over double what was on the books last year.

Out of Brazil, Celeres reported that growers have sold 97 percent of old crop versus 80 percent on average and 39 percent of anticipated new crop bushels when normally little is sold this early.

Informa Economics’ new projection for the U.S. soybean crop is a yield of 38.5 bu./acre versus their last prediction of 40.0 and the USDA’s July 40.5 bu./acre estimate. Informa cut harvested acres to 75.1 million as compared to the USDA’s 75.3 million on the July report. Production would come in at 2.9 billion bushels, slightly lower than July’s USDA 3.05 billion bushel projection. Informa Economics’ state-by-state yield breakdown looks like this: Illinois, 41; Indiana, 37; Iowa, 48; Minnesota, 45; Wisconsin, 42; and Nebraska 47 bu./acre.

OUTLOOK: Brazil growers have essentially sold their entire old crop, U.S. basis levels have not collapsed, See NYSTROM, pg. 34A

160; Minnesota, 174; Wisconsin, 137; and Nebraska 150 bu./acre. Informa dropped harvested acres to 85.67 million versus the USDA’s July forecast of 88.9 million acres. This sets the stage for an 11.5 billion bushel crop when the USDA’s July figure was 12.97 billion bushels.

OUTLOOK: There are signs that rationing is taking place, but based on the questionable crop conditions it may be premature to call the rally complete. We are still heavily dependent on perceptions of what we will harvest this fall. This week was one of consolidation, which is expected in both bull and bear markets. Mother Nature and traders’ emotions will tell us when the top is in, but for now it looks like we have additional upside potential.

December corn was down 2 1/2 cents for the week at $7.93 1/2 per bushel.

The range for the week was $8 to $7.45 1/2 per bushel.

SOYBEANS — Slightly wetter forecasts briefly pushed soybeans down the 70-cent limit the day after the crop conditions report, and that pullback was extended throughout the week.

Soybean conditions didn’t fall as much as anticipated and any moisture should benefit yield potential. It is unclear how bad the severe heat and dryness affected the bean plant’s potential.

Crop conditions as of July 22 were rated 31 percent good/excellent, down 4 percent from the previous week and versus 25 percent in 1988. The poor/very category increased 5 percent

Don’t count this rally complete as yet. July was among the hottest and driest on record in several states in the last 75 years. Harvest will begin the first week of August in southern Illinois. Yield reports will be scrutinized for indications of what the national average may eventually be. A St. Louis firm ran a crop tour in Iowa and came up with a 117 bushels per acre yield versus 175 bu./acre last year. Beans were estimated at 39 bu./acre, down from 50.5 bu./acre last year.

Weekly ethanol production fell 6,000 barrels per day to 796,000 barrels per day which is 9 percent lower than last year. It is also the lowest level in over two years. Ethanol stocks dropped 23 million gallons to 798 million gallons.

There are still suggestions of a reprieve from the Renewable Fuel Standard mandate, but until the “official” balance sheets show a smaller carryout than last year it appears unlikely.

Informa Economics updated their crop forecast on July 27 using the assumption that August weather will be unfavorable. They will issue another estimate Aug. 3 using their survey results as of Aug. 1. This week’s corn yield forecast was pegged at 134 bu./acre. This compares to their last estimate of 142.5 and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 146.0 bu./acre.

By state, the yields were expected to be Illinois, 120; Indiana, 110; Iowa,

Given this fact it will be a task for the hog market to make any substantial moves at this time. Considering the value of pork to its other meat competitors, pork is by far the best value to the consumer.

With the current high grain prices, many sows have moved to market, which leads one to believe that expansion is virtually over in the hog industry for the time being. This should help hog prices in the fourth quarter and into the spring provided the world economies can improve. Producers should keep a watchful eye on market conditions and act to protect inventories when necessary. ❖

Drought has potential three-year ‘tail’ on beef production in open cows this year means producers need to pregnancy-check cows to minimize the use of expensive feeds.

When forages are in short supply, there is little reason for producers to feed non-productive animals. Instead, they can consider marketing culled cows earlier than normal to take advantage of higher market prices.

“If we’re short on forage we have the option of sliding by, but if cows are thin going into the fall, fewer will be bred, calves will be lighter at weaning time this year and fewer calves will be born next year,” Lemenager said. “Then, if cows are thin heading into next breeding season, fewer cows will be bred and colostrum quality will be lower, meaning a lower calf survival rate which affects productivity in years two and three.”

To avoid the three-year “tail,” he said producers might need to pay the price now to supplement feed and make sure cows are healthy and in moderate body condition. Healthy cows will breed better and can shorten the time producers face fallout from the drought.

In addition to monitoring body condition, Lemenager and Purdue Extension forage specialist Keith Johnson offered producers a list of steps they can take to manage drought and heat stress.

• Avoid overgrazing and employ rotational grazing.

• Creep-feed calves to create nearnormal weaning weights.

• Early-wean calves to take pressure off of both cows and pastures.

• Identify and manage poisonous plants in pastures and hay fields.

Without proper nutrition and pasture management in a drought year, beef herd performance can suffer for years to come.

• Establish summer annuals to increase late-season forage production.

• Pregnancy-check and market cull cows earlier than normal to reduce feed needs.

• Inventory hay and other feed resources.

• Analyze feeds for nutrient profiles to help determine supplemental feed needs.

• Use alternative feeds to supplement and stretch forage supplies.

Livestock producers who fail to properly manage the drought could find themselves dealing with the consequences long after the rains return, says a Purdue Extension beef specialist.

Exceptionally high temperatures and extremely low rainfall have combined to stress livestock and reduce their feed supplies. Producers can take steps to manage a situation that might cost some money now but could pay off in big ways in the long run.

“The tail on this can be pretty long if we don’t manage things right in a drought year,” Ron Lemenager said.

“One thing that I think is really important for producers to consider this year is body condition. If you use condition scores of these cows as a barometer of where you’re at nutritionally, we can’t do much about the heat or drought, but we can make sure we don’t have any nutritional deficiencies.”

In a drought year, forages are low in both quality and quantity, which can leave cows thin and undernourished.

Less-than-optimal body conditions can have reproductive consequences not only this year, but next year as well.

Heat stress coupled with poor nutrition can create a double whammy by lowering oocyte and sperm quality, as well as embryo survival if fertilization does occur, Lemenager said.

“The environmental conditions we are experiencing have ratcheted stress forward into the heart of the breeding season for those that calve in the spring, meaning it’s very probable we’ll see more open cows than normal this fall,” he said.

Lemenager said the likely increase

ers to reevaluate their feed on hand, crop yields, projected feed input costs, financial resources and herd size that will allow them to stay in business through winter, the USDA said.

Lots of cows are going to slaughter because farmers can’t afford to feed them.

Daily Dairy Report market analyst Sarina Sharp said in the DDR’s “Daily Dairy Discussion” (a free download at www.dailydairyreport.com) that the June Milk Production report indicated that dairy cow numbers have been declining since April and quite significantly.

The July 20 Cattle Inventory report confirmed that, she said, as heifer and milk cow numbers were unchanged from a year ago.

“We have fewer cows than we did earlier this year and production per cow is slowing,” Sharp said. She blamed the heat and the rising cost of production as “spot corn is over $8 per bushel. New crop is flirting with $8, and nearby soybean meal is well over $500.

A lot of dairy producers who grow their feed are concerned they won’t have the production they were counting on and will therefore have to purchase this very expensive feed.”

She warned that grains, protein and forage will be hard to come by at a reasonable price and reported that farmers in the Great Lakes region are mowing their corn under as “there are no ears or grains on the stalks so they’re simply chopping these stalks into silage and will feed it but this low-quality forage can really hurt milk production in the long run and in the short-term we’re dealing with the heat so per cow production can really take a hit thanks to this drought.” Nitrate levels can also be problematic in drought-stressed corn.

dangerously low levels, those who volunteer to use the proposed program will be insured against these low margins and they are also expected to trim their milk output until margins reach healthy levels,” the NMPF said.

“These summer temperatures, and the possibility of a poor crop harvest, are exactly why we need a dairy farm safety net that takes into account higher feed prices, and also gives us a tool to better align supply and demand. Relying on the weather to perform this process is foolish.”

■ Out west, a California Department of Food and Agriculture hearing panel found that, based on the testimony provided at the recent hearing, there should be no change in the California 4b milk price formula.

However Agriculture Secretary Karen Ross, concerned about the increasing costs of feed, made the decision to increase prices by modifying the formula in such a way that as of Aug. 1, the Class 4b milk price will be improved by a maximum of 10 cents per hundredweight when the price of dry whey exceeds 60 cents a pound.

The National Milk Producers Federation shot back saying, “IDFA has mischaracterized the real issue facing dairy farmers this summer. Summer heat always leads to a slowdown in milk output. This year will be no different, but the USDA reported last week that milk production in the second quarter of 2012 was up 2 percent compared to 2011, while the first quarter was up a whopping 5.3 percent. The U.S. is well on track to produce a record volume of milk this year, a hot summer notwithstanding.

“As a result, farmers’ prices this June were down 18 percent from June 2011, 30 cents a gallon less. Consumers really should be asking if the price they pay at retail for dairy products has dropped by the same amount. The answer is, retail prices haven’t changed, even as the farm price this year has reflected the fact that supply has raced ahead of demand. Meanwhile, grain prices reflect the opposite: that supplies are short in relation to demand.

“The dairy policy provisions in the Senate and House farm bills are tied to the critical difference between the farmer’s milk price, and the cost of feed. When that margin contracts to

ber, she said, however inventories are still almost 30 percent higher than a year ago.

■ In dairy politics, the International Dairy Foods Association charged this week that the Dairy Market Stabilization Program proposal in the new farm bill would have been limiting U.S. milk production since May, if it had been in effect, even as agriculture economists and the USDA are warning that the drought throughout the country will reduce milk supply and raise consumer prices.

“Dairy farmers enrolled in the program would have had their revenue reduced from 2 to 6 percent in May and possibly by 3 to 7 percent in June,” according to an IDFA press release. “As a result of the lost revenue, farmers would be expected to reduce their milk production, most likely by reducing herd size.”

“Not only will consumers be facing higher prices in the near future, because cows produce less milk during high heat conditions, and the cost of feed will be higher, but this new program would have already dug the hole deeper,” said Connie Tipton, IDFA president and CEO.

MIELKE, from pg. 36A ■ Checking supplies, June butter holdings, at 350.8 million pounds, were down 18.9 million pounds or 7 percent from May but were 52.4 million or 28 percent above June 2011, according to the latest Cold Storage report.

American cheese, at 629.9 million pounds, was up 9.9 million or 2 percent from May and 10.8 million or 2 percent above a year ago and the highest June inventory in 10 years, according to the DDR. Total cheese stocks at a little over 1 billion pounds are also up 2 percent from May but unchanged from a year ago.

The Cold Storage data was “bearish to cheese,” according to Sharp, who said the growing cheese stocks are priced out of the global market but added the caveat that most U.S. cheese is produced in the drought-plagued Midwest where heat is taking its toll on milk production so that will likely keep a floor under the cheese market.

Butter is a different story, Sharp said. Butter stocks usually peak in June, she said, but it appears they peaked in May this year.

June showed the first month-overmonth decline in stocks since Novem-

Doubling corn prices makes double-trouble for dairymen MIELKE, from pg. 37A

this hearing, while disappointing to those with high expectations, should not have been a surprise to anyone. A CDFA hearing is not a political contest, it is not a court of law, nor is it a popular vote of the people. It is an economic exercise in which decisions are based on cold hard economic facts.”

The price floor of 25 cents was not changed but each bracket in the sliding scale will increase an extra 1.25 cents. At the current dry whey value of 49.5 cents/lb. the improvement will be 6.25 cents per hundredweight.

■ Getting back to high corn prices, the Alliance’s Bill VanDam points out that “there was huge financial suffering as dairy producers adjusted to the first doubling ($2 to $4 per bushel) of corn prices. Now the second doubling has occurred ($4 to $8) and it looks as if a way has to be found to adjust to $8 corn prices.”

One source told me double-digit corn prices are possible.

“The combined livestock industries were not able to get an adjustment in the ethanol mandates when they attempted to reduce them a few years ago. It made sense then and makes even better sense now that the ethanol mandates be cut from 10 to 5 percent of our U.S. gasoline the amount that is needed to oxygenate the gasoline,” VanDam wrote. “The balance of the U.S. ethanol program cannot be justified.”

“The drought is real and is persistent. On the ‘Market to Market’ show this morning the analyst opined that if not later this year then next year corn is likely to hit $9 a bushel and perhaps $10.

At some point demand destruction comes into play as users get priced out of the market. Doesn’t it make better sense to reduce the artificial demand dictated by government decree? Cut it in half,” VanDam said.

Corn and soybeans aren’t the only feed prices going up. Dairy Profit Weekly reports that the whole cottonseed dry spell is expected to intensify in 2013, as competing crops threaten to cannibalize even more cotton acres in 2013.

Cotton farmers planted 14 percent fewer cotton acres in 2012, said Tom Wedegaertner, director of agricultural research, Cotton Inc. “While a more ‘normal’ summer could produce more harvestable acres of cotton, and more cottonseed, we anticipate the amount of whole cottonseed available for dairies will remain flat compared to 2011.”

If the USDA’s June 29 forecast of 17 million bales holds true, the crop could produce 5.7 million tons of cottonseed, of which 3 million tons would be available for feeding.

By the way, Cotton Inc. now offers a Cottonseed Marketplace publication for farmers to receive periodic updates.

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

Meet your candidates PORK, from pg. 20F for the swine industry. Because 4-H had a significant influence on Kluver, he continues his 4-H involvement by helping at the county fair auction and swine show.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Wright County Sarah Marketon, the daughter of Robert and Annette Marketon of Howard Lake, is pork ambassador for the Wright County Pork Producers Association. 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.

Community involvement has helped Marketon develop her leadership and communication skills, which are important as she shares

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.
