Commentary: We are accountable only to God Unrepentant sinners will face an eternity without the blessing of being part of God’s Kingdom. The Gospel message is simple.

Confess our sin, repent of our sin, accept the pardon for our sin that Jesus Christ has already won for us, and tell other about our faith.

Royer states that marriage is about love, and on that I agree.

Marriage is a union instituted by God himself, and is clearly exclusively between one man and one woman. God clearly commands a man to love his wife as Jesus Christ loves the Church.

There is no greater love.

How can He continue to bless us in a case like that?

Why do I think that the Bible is our authority or standard? Forty years ago this year God’s word became very real to me. I was facing difficulty in my life, going through a divorce. My life up to that point was mostly about me. Yes, I was selfish and knew little about true wisdom. My life seemed hollow and worthless. At this time my life insurance man asked me, “Do you know Jesus Christ?” I responded, “I know of Him.” He said that it was possible to know him personally.

THE LAND, AUGUST 10, 2012

This is in response to Tom Royer’s “Land Minds” column, “Love and marriage,” in the July 13 issue.

OPINION

A pertinent question might be, how do we decide what is right and what is wrong? I believe the Bible is the answer, since marriage is God’s plan and the Bible is His word. The union of two homosexuals is clearly not what God had in mind.

“For the Word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before His eyes, and He is the one to whom we are accountable.” Hebrews 4:12-13 New Living Translation Some folks reject God’s wisdom in this matter, and perhaps Proverbs 14:12 explains why. “Before every man there lies a wide and pleasant road that seems right but ends in death.” TLB God does, however, command us to “love our neighbor” and that certainly includes homosexuals as well as all other sinners. We as Christians know full well that we are all sinners. We certainly have God’s command to love and respect everyone. To do less than that is to disobey God’s command, and is also sin.

Unrepentant sinners will face an eternity without the blessing of being part of God’s Kingdom.

The Gospel message is simple. Confess our sin, repent of our sin, accept the pardon for our sin that Jesus Christ has already won for us, and tell others about our faith.

There are many verses in the Bible one could quote, but one that must be considered is Proverbs 14:14 — “Godliness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” To condone sin as a state or nation then puts us at odds with God’s will.

As I read I was convinced that God loved me, and that the salvation offered by Jesus was actually for me. I did pray a simple prayer, something like, “Lord Jesus, if you are really there and you do love me, please forgive my sins and let me get to know you.” Instantly I felt this very warm sensation, and at the same time I knew without a doubt that God loves me, the Bible is true, and Jesus wanted me to know Him. The joy I felt was overwhelming. I had never experienced anything like it before and not really since.

This is a very abbreviated version, but I hope it does relate my story, in a way that it might encourage others to want to “Know Jesus Christ.” I do believe with all my heart that the Bible is God’s word, and it is our standard to live by. It is also a very important part of how God imparts truth, faith, hope, encouragement, wisdom, peace, joy and His love to us.

You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. The book of John in the New Testament is a good place to start.

This commentary was submitted by Stan Johnson of Blue Earth, Minn. ❖

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Another question that must be considered is: If you know that someone is on the path to eternal destruction, is it loving to just accept the fact, and encouraging that person to stay on the path? I think not.

“Get yourself a copy of The Living Bible,” he said.

“It is written as a paraphrase and is much easier to understand than the King James.” I didn’t know what a paraphrase was, but did go to Target and got a copy of The Living Bible. At the time I didn’t know that The Holy Spirit helps us to understand the Bible, and that this help is crucial to our being able to understand, and “get to know Jesus Christ.”

“Those who live immoral lives, who are idol worshipers, adulterers, or homosexuals, will have no share in His kingdom. Neither will thieves or greedy people, drunkards, slanderers, or robbers.”

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 TLB

I thought that he was not a religious nut case, so his statement really got me to thinking that he may actually know what he was talking about. He asked, “Do you have a Bible?” I responded, “Yes, I do somewhere.” He said, “Do you read it?” I responded, “Why would I do that?” He said, “That is how you can get to know Jesus. What translation is your Bible?” I responded, “King James, I think.” (I didn’t even realize there was anything else.)

Letter: Guebert criticizes, Letter: Where to make cuts? Letter: We put our faith, Let’s start with Congress never offers solutions trust in Christ to save us

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.

Ken Floren Dassel, Minn.

To the Editor: Jim Woster’s column that was reprinted in the “Land Minds” space in the July 27 issue 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.

Al Jensen Heron Lake, Minn.

OPINION

To the Editor: This is in reply to Assistant Editor Tom Royer’s July 13 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 I: “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 postabortion 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.”

Rodney Marquardt Waverly, Minn.

Soybean farmers visit China, see key export market

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

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.

GARLIC, from pg. 9 powering,” he said. (One food writer on the internet suggested 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 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.

This has been one of Raak’s most difficult growing seasons.

“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, 90degree 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.”

You have to give growers like Gene Raak credit.

He’s doing his best to keep fire-breathing dragons from becoming extinct.

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.

They are experimenting with using some of it to fertilize their pastures. The major use for whey, however, is to raise pigs.

“You can raise pigs feeding them solely on Kathy Hoffman whey forage, and food scraps from the garden,” Marv 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.”

By TIM KING The Land Correspondent HOLMES CITY, Minn. — Kathy Hoffman of Fruitful Seasons Dairy makes cheese two times per week during the grass harvest. In her spotless cheese-making room right next to the milk room she produces Gouda, Tomato-Basil Gouda, Colby, Caerphilly, Holmes City Spice (onion, garlic and chili pepper Gouda) and Farmhouse Cheddar.

Caerphilly is a traditional Welsh cheese with a buttery color, a lemony tang and a thin light brown rind.

“When it has been aged four months or more it has its characteristic crumbly center and is smooth and creamy on the outside,” Kathy said.

All the cheese that Kathy, her husband, Marv, and their six children produce is made from raw milk from their small herd of Jersey cows. It is aged at least 60 days and often more than that.

“We make raw milk cheese because you can get the best cheese that way,” Jan King Kathy said. “It has the best flavors and a fresh salad they perk right up.” all of the healthful properties of the The intensive rotational grazing is milk are still intact.

Announcer grows up at Butterfield threshing show

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer The best information source for the Butterfield, Minn., Threshing Bee is Bryan Ebbenga.

He’s announced this tractor parade for the past two years but his tractor legacy for the Butterfield 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 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 late1970s. “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. IH tractors were gray when they first started.”

His second tractor was a 1956 Allis Chalmers WD45 but his most enjoyable tractors were the Olivers. From about 1935 and into the 1960s he felt the Oliver brand was the most modern tractor being built. “They were ahead of

was a more expensive tractor and never captured enough market share to survive in the tremendously competitive world of tractor sales.

Ebbenga adds some special chatter as he announces, often giving a bit more information about particular rigs. “I’ve been reading tractor books since I was about 10 years old so I’ve learned a few things about tractors, especially the many antiques that make up our Butterfield event.

“The first president of this show was Art Peek who also announced the parade for many years. Then his son Dan Peek announced for several years. These two men, both now passed on, really set the stage for making this a truly informative and perhaps one of the more unique tractor parades in America.”

Ebbenga said having a natural “gift for gab” perhaps helps but his daughter also helps in special ways.

Pioneer Village also offers trip down memory lane able in the United States. Rows of ash trees, 40 feet wide and half-mile long, set the stage. One end houses the campground area.

Also included is an authentic Pioneer Village.

Adding to the environmental beauty is Lake Butterfield, located at the west end of this approximately 80-acre showground.

“And that’s why I call this the best little show in the Midwest,” said Ebbenga, now a ripe 50 year old. It’s history dates back to 1967 when it was a one-day event.

BUTTERFIELD, from pg. 12 went to the Case collectors’ website which detailed the history of the Case tractor company.

“So whenever there was a lull between units I would use this Case ‘factoid’ to share some information with the hundreds of spectators lining both sides of the mile-long parade route.”

Until three years ago, a special antique tractor owned by one of the threshing association members led the parade. The 2011 event featured Case with a Case 65 horsepower steamer that was part of this show when it started. Featured for the 2012 event, Aug. 18-19, is the kerosenepowered Waterloo Boy, forerunner to the John Deere tractor.

Grain Outlook Stay tuned to weather channel

Livestock Angles Cattle led again by futures

Grain Angles This will be a year of contrast

The following market analysis is for the week ending Aug. 3.

CORN — Profit taking and a better chance of rain pushed prices lower for much of the week, but not before it set a new all-time high for the December contract at $8.20 1/2 per bushel.

The all-time record high for a lead contract remains at $8.28 3/4 set July 20 in the September contract. Corn did close the week on a strong note which allowed new crop to settle 14 1/4 cents higher for the week at $8.07 1/2 per bushel.

Weather will continue to be the PHYLLIS NYSTROM main priority, but it is getting Country Hedging too late for much of the corn crop St. Paul to benefit from moisture at this date. Now it becomes a discovery process of what the crop actually is and how much rationing needs to occur.

Corn harvest has begun in southern Illinois, but not in a significant way. A local crop tour in the Champaign, Ill., area pegged their yield at 117 bushels per acre versus 167 bu./acre for the same tour last year. A tour in the McLean County area in central Illinois estimated their corn at 118.7 bu./acre.

I was in the southern third of that state this week and saw huge variability to the crop. It is extremely difficult to determine what an “average” yield really is.

U.S. crop conditions extended their decline, down another 2 percent to 24 percent good/excellent as of July 29. Illinois had no corn in the excellent category and only 5 percent was rated as good. In Iowa, 46 percent of the crop was rated poor/very poor. Further deterioration is anticipated with unfavorable

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 push the futures higher, the packers may be forced to follow the futures and be forced to pay the higher prices to acquire inventory. Nevertheless, cattle pro-

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 and decisions that we make can TOM NEHER “leave a mark.” This places a AgStar VP & Team Leader paramount emphasis on the use — Grain Industry Rochester, Minn. 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.

While making marketing decisions during a drought-driven market, it is helpful to spread our

Hog industry expansion virtually over TEALE, from pg. 14 ducers should approach the cattle market with extreme caution and protect inventories when needed.

As for the hog market, the prospects for further rally from the lows made in July, seem a bit more promising. The pork cutouts have been improving as of late and numbers of market-ready hogs seem to be shrinking ever so slight. Pork product has moved pretty well over the past few months, however there is still plenty of pork in storage. Given this fact it will be a task for the hog market to make any sub-

stantial 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. ❖

Neher: More rationing yet to do we are going to chop drought-damaged corn. Sick or dead livestock damages more than our “bottom line.”

Drought-driven markets can give us high prices, but they are a challenge to manage.

Watching a Twins game the other night, I remembered my Grandpa telling me that hitting homeruns in baseball makes you feel great. “Son, if you are going to swing for the fence, you will strike out more times than not!” He would then ask me how it felt to strike out.

Then he would quietly tell me that I could win more ballgames hitting singles and doubles than homeruns.

NEHER, from pg. 14 risk around to others. Make more numerous, but smaller sales. It is easier to clean up a small problem than a large one if they occur. Spread our sales around to multiple buyers. This spreads the counter-party risk that the buyer will still be in business around.

Use futures and options on futures contracts to manage price until we know what kind of crop to expect. “Paper trades” are easier to unwind than cash contracts if we come up short on yield.

The Farm Futures estimate this week was 35.8 bu./acre (2.7 billion production), Lanworth came in at 35.4 bu./acre, and a Reuter’s survey was 38.1 bu./acre. The July USDA estimate was 40.5 bu./acre and 3.05 billion bushels.

Weather will be the key factor for soybeans for another month, so don’t turn off that weather channel just yet.

Weekly export sales of 7 million bushels for old crop were good, but new crop sales of 19 million bushels were again impressive. Total sales commitments for this year have already surpassed the yearly forecast, but it remains to be seen how much is shipped and how much is carried over into new crop.

China was able to sell 401,000 mt of state reserve soybeans at auction this week, after failing to get bids at earlier auctions. This was their largest single sale from reserves since 2010. China continues to buy Brazilian soybeans and there are some flags being raised about Brazil’s capacity to load during March. There were rumors this week that Argentina was considering raising soy export taxes from their current 35 percent level to 40 percent.

Argentina denied the rumor.

A weak U.S. dollar and better payroll numbers in June also provided support to the commodity markets going into the weekend.

OUTLOOK: Prices were trapped inside last week’s range with the November contract settling at $16.28 3/4 per bushel or 27 cents higher for the week.

Weather first and demand second will drive direction as beans set and fill pods. If the weather is perceived to become more favorable to finishing the crop, expect significant setbacks; but without a general improvement, further gains will be expected.

Sound easy? It won’t be. I would be cautious waiting for another push higher.

A huge range from $15.50 to $17-plus is currently in place. ❖

Weekly sales were horrid again this week with old crop showing net cancellations of 400,000 bushels and new sales for the 2012-13 marketing year a negative 5.2 million bushels. This indicates rationing, but Mexico did step in this week to make a tremendous purchase of 982,000 metric tons for 2012-13 and 533,000 mt for 2013-14.

OUTLOOK: The annual crop tour will commence Aug. 19 and should give us an excellent peek at the crop, since the participants could probably look at the combine’s field monitors in some areas.

Rationing is taking place, but is it enough if the crop continues to shrink? December corn closed the week above the supportive $8 level for the first time, suggesting buyers are still interested. Time will tell, but momentum in the upward push in December corn slowed this week. New crop corn prices could peak before harvest gets fully under way. The next target is $8.20 1/2 to $8.50 per bushel, support lies at $7.70 per bushel.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans followed the same path as corn this week, but couldn’t break out of last week’s large range of $15.36 to $16.91 1/2 per bushel.

The threat of better rainfall midweek was more detrimental to the soybean market since beans will benefit from added moisture. Soybean conditions were off another 2 percent this week at 29 percent good/excellent, with further declines anticipated.

Illinois doesn’t have any soybeans rated excellent and only 9 percent rated good. Fifty-five percent of the

NYSTROM, from pg. 14 conditions expected into next week.

Informa Economics released their survey-based crop estimate on Aug. 3, but in a twist they released two different forecasts. The first projection was based on the survey and what they expect the U.S. Department of Agriculture to say on Aug. 10 which was 120.7 bu./acre with a crop of 10.338 billion bushels. The second estimate was what they feel will be closer to the actual final crop which was a yield of 131 bu./acre and production of 11.224 billion bushels. There is some support for this theory. In two out of five short-crop years since 1983, the corn yield figure did increase from the August report to the final report in January.

A Farm Futures survey of 1,800 farmers showed a yield of 117.8 bu./acre and 9.86 billion bushels of production for the United States when crop condition implications were taken into account. Lanworth released a U.S. corn estimate of 122 bu./acre. A Reuters survey pegged the yield at 129 bu./acre. The July USDA numbers were 146 bu./acre and 12.97 billion bushels.

More than 120 Congressmen from both sides of the aisle signed a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency urging the 2012 ethanol production mandate be reduced. It is not likely that anything will be done to the mandate prior to November elections and when we will have a much better handle on the supply situation. Weekly ethanol production was 238 million gallons, up 4 million gallons from the previous week.

The USDA’s Ag Prices report put the preliminary average July all-milk price received by producers at $16.60/cwt., up from $16.20 in June but down from $21.80 a year ago. The July national average price received for corn jumped to $7.36 per bushel, up from $6.37 in June and $6.33 a year ago. The soybean price, at $15.60, was up from $13.90 in June and $13.20 last year. Baled alfalfa hay averaged $198 per ton, down from $201 in June and compares to $189 a year ago.

The University of Wisconsin’s Bryan Gould said, based on those prices, the June Milk Income Loss Contract payment will be $1.3677/cwt.

■ Dairy farmers continue to evaluate herd size, feed on hand, input needs and other variables as widespread drought impacts crops, pasture and forage acreage. The drought categories of extreme and exceptional, as noted in the U.S. Drought Monitor report, has been expanded and is at the highest level since 2003.

As a stopgap measure for finding livestock feed, some acreage enrolled in Conservation Reserve and Wetland Reserve programs is now eligible for haying and livestock grazing on a short-term basis.

■ The Daily Dairy Report’s Sarina Sharp reported in their website’s “Daily Dairy Discussion” that Congress was under pressure to pass a farm bill as the severity of widespread drought increases. Several disaster assistance programs for livestock producers in the 2008 farm bill expired last year, she said, and House leaders were crafting interim legislation to offer drought aid and delay any farm bill fight until after the election.

She warned that, without a new bill or interim legislation, provisions in the current farm bill, including the support price and MILC payments, would expire Sept. 30.

The National Milk Producers Federation strongly opposed extension of the current farm bill and remains committed to the Dairy Security Act. The NMPF’s Jerry Kozak warned “the current safety net for dairy farmers is not sufficient in dealing with scenarios like we are currently facing from high feed costs associated with the drought.”

The NMPF pointed out that “under the proposed extension, the MILC program would not pay out for the remainder of 2012 or 2013 while the nation’s dairy farmers are experiencing razor-

thin margins. The 2008 farm bill extension does nothing to ensure dairy farmers and their bankers that they will have any safety net to deal with the present and future periods of tight margins and extreme volatility.”

When the dust settled, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced two new pieces of disaster assistance for farmers, according to Dairy Profit Weekly. Emergency haying and grazing was expanded to approximately 3.8 million acres of conservation land to bring greater relief to livestock producers dealing with shortages of hay and pastureland and crop insurance companies have agreed to provide a 30-day short grace period for farmers on insurance premiums in 2012.

The DPW also reported that House Republican leaders, avoiding floor debate on the House ag committee’s 2012 farm bill proposal and giving up on trying to extend the 2008 farm bill for one year, pushed through a $383 million disaster aid package for U.S. livestock producers.

H.R. 6233, the “Agricultural Disaster Assistance Act of 2012,” passed by a vote of 223-197 but Senate Democratic leaders said that chamber would not take up the House disaster relief bill before leaving for an August recess, and might not address it when they return after Labor Day, because they want the disaster relief rolled into the 2012 farm bill.

■ Checking the markets, cash block cheese closed Aug. 3 at $1.71/lb., up a half cent on the week but 42.25 cents below a year ago. Barrel closed at $1.6850, unchanged on the week and 45 cents below a year ago.

Six cars of block and 20 of barrel found new homes on the week. The AMS-surveyed U.S. average block price hit $1.6765, up 2.8 cents, while the barrels averaged $1.7180, also up 2.8 cents.

Cheese production was reported slower the last week of July as reduced volumes of milk were available, according to the Dairy Market News. The hot weather across much of the country has contributed to lower component levels in milk along with reduced volumes.

Demand for cheese remains good with some increased interest to build inventories ahead of expected price increases.

Farmers show affection in all sorts of little ways If you’re a farmer’s wife, then we know that you have fallen in love at least once in your life. We also know that you have spent much of your time since then falling into (and stepping into) things you haven’t always seen coming, and some that you have seen coming — cow pies, barbed wire fences and the TABLE TALK occasional friendly reminder

By Karen Schwaller from your banker via the mailbox, saying that you need to sell some grain before you get to have a personal relationship with the county sheriff.

Falling in love is easy, but as they say — staying in love really can take some work. The diamond — the crowned jewel of all precious stones — seems to get the official “okie-dokie” as the best way for a man to tell a woman that he loves her. But over time, that diamond can often be out of range for your average farmer — especially in years when shopping for a tractor or manure spreader is necessary; or in those years when paying the bills becomes larger than the list of Elizabeth Taylor’s ex-husbands.

If you’re a farmer’s wife, surely you have noticed there are many ... well, less expensive ways in which your farmer husband can show you all year long that he loves you. Here are just a few everyday examples that I have come up with.

• When you’re out working together in the hog or

The Trailers We Have Come With All Standard Features

cattle yards, he offers to take the deeper end, which is much more full of natural fertilizer. If you listen to him long enough, though, it seems if some of that fertilizer has been ingested through the skin and ends up as vocal manure eventually. And don’t tell me you haven’t noticed it.

• He doesn’t yell as loudly at you when you do something wrong while loading hogs. This is a tricky one, however, and can be directly related to how well the hogs are loading. If it’s not going well, the farmer will most likely find himself driving them to the buying station in bachelor style. Temperaments can be as unpredictable as the grain markets, and once that job begins, there’s no turning back. When the trailer door is finally closed behind them all and you’re wallowing in the aftermath, that’s when the vodka is usually needed by all parties involved, no matter that it’s only 7:30 a.m. at the time. It could save the marriage on hog-loading day.

• When you can’t open your twistoff beverage and need his help with it, he will work to find a clean spot on his handkerchief to use in order to help him get the job done.

• When he spits his tobacco out, he becomes a one-man Federal Aviation Administration team and checks the wind speed and direction first, being sure to aim clear of where you are standing. That would be important. Yes.

• He cleans out a spot for you to sit in his truck.

Let’s face it — during the fall harvest, the farmer’s truck is filled with all the necessities of life, right down to bathroom supplies, food and beverage needs, tools for any job he may encounter at that time of year, and a wardrobe for hot, cold or rainy days. It all takes room, and if he clears a spot for you to accompany him for lunch on a rainy day in the fall, you know you’ve made the cut. The farmer must be careful, however, of the size of area he clears out for you to sit. Too large of a spot, and the farmer’s wife could leave him to dine on his own. For awhile.

• He apologizes as he tells (or shows) you of a pair of jeans he tore that day, knowing how much you hate to mend blue jeans. It’s a little reminiscent of the hog-loading process — complete with the eye rolling, occasional language, and the vodka coming out during and after that whole obnoxious repair process.

So ladies of the farm, take heart. You’ve already taken his, and if diamonds are out of the question for you this year, look at all the other ways your farmer tells you all year long that he loves you.

From shooting-competition rookie to unexpected champ

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.

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

“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 their 28 gauge guns for Adam to use.

But that turned out not to be necessary.

Unaware that his score had been equaled and that a shoot-off loomed, the other shooter had put his firearms away for the day, put his feet up, and already had enjoyed a cold one.

In keeping with the understandably strict policy regarding alcohol and 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 Burt admitted.

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.

“I finished someplace in the middle,” Mike Burt said.

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.

In fact, his son had gone along with his dad to assist in the Brunton Optics vendor booth. “But 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.

Minnesota’s Dakota War: Personal accounts behind the scenes

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.

Built in 1857, the Torgrimson family home can now be seen at a Brown County park on Lake Hanska.

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 Ingrid nursed him back to health. That act of kindness and others like it caused their Dakota neighbors to trust the Torgrimsons and their close neighbors. On the eve of the August 1862 war, the man

whose life was saved stopped by to urge the family to “go east.” They 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 Oli Sorbel farm. Torgrim returned home to retrieve pork and flour to augment the dwindling food supply at the Sorbels’.

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.

Company B, 9th Minnesota Volunteers arrived in 1863 and built a fort to protect settlers, but no further violence occurred. The Torgrimsons had three more children, and Torgrim gave each of his five sons a farm before his death in 1892.

Thanks to Yvonne Torgrimson Blomquist, great-granddaughter of Torgrim and Ingrid for sharing materials for this story from her family files. ❖

‘Seed Queen’ lives on in book, State Fair display book about Lillian Colton and her work, Sheehy includes a substantial section on work that has been inspired by, and diverges from, Colton’s trail-blazing art.

Lillian’s daughter, Linda has been showing crop art at the State Fair almost as long as Lillian did. So has the remarkable Darlene Thorud. Then there is what Sheehy calls the Postmodern School of Minnesota Crop Art

with its genre-bending “youngsters.”

Sheehy includes fascinating images from many of their works.

Advantages we offer: • We unload directly from the trucks to a floater (Terra Gator) without stockpiling material.

This gives us a more uniform spread with no foliage to plug up the spreader.

• With direct loading there is no stockpile, no wasted lime or mess in your field.

• We use a floater (Terra Gator) to spread so we have less compaction.

• We are equipped to spread variable rate using GPS mapping.

• We service Minnesota and northern Iowa.

Why apply Aglime: • A soil ph level of 5.5 nitrogen efficiency is only 77 percent.

• A soil ph level of 6.0 nitrogen efficiency still is only 89 percent.

• At a soil ph level of 7.0 fertilizer efficiency is 100 percent. for questions or prices please call

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.
