OPINION

according to an NCBA press release later that day, he “expressed disgust ... that (OCM) has formed a partnership with the (HSUS) to destroy more than 25 years of market development and consumer demand building by the Beef Checkoff Program.”

Alexander was wrong; OCM had not formed a “partnership” of any kind with the HSUS. As Stokes explained, Humane Society attorneys, at OCM’s request, read checkoff documents to offer their unpaid judgment on whether a suit was advisable.

The checkoff lawsuit, in fact, was written and filed, pro bono, by Daniel Owen and G. Gabriel Zorogastua of Polsenelli Shughart PC, a Kansas City, Mo., law firm known for its antitrust expertise.

Worse, Alexander’s hyperbolic “destroy more than 25 years of market development and consumer demand building” is not just a personal opinion, it’s fact-defying baloney.

Since the 1987 start-up of the beef checkoff the number of U.S. beef operations has fallen from 1.01 million to 742,000, American retail sales of beef per capita have plummeted from 78.7 pounds to 60.8 pounds, and the U.S. cattle herd has fallen from 102.1 million head to 90.8 million.

There are reasons for this dismal performance, but “market development,” “consumer demand” and $1.5 billion of checkoff money would not be three of ’em.

Additionally, as the American cattle sector continues a decades-long trend of losing an estimated 1,000 producers per month, the nation continues to outsource its beef. In the first six months of 2012, U.S. beef imports are up 21 percent and U.S. cattle imports are 22 percent over 2011.

And here’s another hard fact: the HSUS, Callicrate and Stokes did nothing to bring about this atrocious record of checkoff failure.

So why is the NCBA, a group that 94 percent of all

Farm bill will have to wait At Farmfest Dave Ladd, government affairs manager of AgriBank, said to me, “the more time I spend inside the D.C. beltline, the more I sense an increasing disconnect between them and rural America.” He suggested that some members of Congress apparently took big bites out of the apple but with the growing disconnect back home they don’t care to finish the apple.

This ongoing fracas so much recalls the comment by Ronald Reagan who simply said, “Government is not the solution to our problems. Government is the problem.”

I believe it was Reagen who also suggested the problem with socialism is that you soon run out of other people’s money.

OPINION

GUEBERT, from pg. 4A cattlemen voluntarily choose not to join, making them the bogeyman for beef’s woe?

Because we sit silently as distortion and deception replace discussion and debate and yelling and lying replaces compromise and progress. Don’t worry;

the lying and the yelling won’t kill democratic institutions.

The silence, however, might.

MINDS, from pg. 2A ference committee of both chambers.

Why isn’t this farm bill really referred to as the food bill with passing reference to a few issues relating to agriculture.

About 80 percent of the proposed fiveyear, half-trillion dollar legislation goes for the food and nutrition program called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. Direct payments to farmers are history and most producers seem OK with that. Federal Crop Insurance programs will see some changes so much remains to be done.

Suffice to say it sounds like there will be post-election activity for this next farm bill. Obviously even members of Congress who know little or nothing about agriculture and neither do their constituents, seem concerned that farm legislation talk might affect their upcoming elections.

When Mildred passed away June 17, 2012, at her home, she was still active and living on the farm at the age of 87.

Her role on the farm was a big one. Over the years, countless lunches were made and sent to the fields. Hot breakfast sandwiches and coffee sent to the barn for the early shift of milkers. Up until her passing, she tallied the timecards for payroll every two weeks.

She enjoyed crossword puzzles, reading books on her Kindle Fire, crocheting and watching birds in her feeders from the kitchen window.

Ounce of prevention worth a pound of cure with medicines In the last “Pet Talk” column, Dorothy Black, clinical assistant professor at the Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, shared suggestions for keeping cats and dogs safe from potentially toxic human foods. This time she discusses some common over-the-counter and prescription medications that are toxic to pets.

“Many homes have these medications, and it can be surprisingly easy for pets to get a hold of them,” Black said. “Whether pets open bottles, chew on tubes, lick topical medication, or just pick up dropped pills off the floor, these medications pose particularly dangerous threats.”

Even the most common over-thecounter medications can be dangerous.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, such as naproxen, ibuprofen, acetaminophen and aspirin can be highly toxic to dogs and cats.

These human medications can have

profound effects on the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, liver and hemoglobin in red blood cells. Unfortunately, there is no specific antidote and an overdose often requires hospitalization and supportive care.

Most cases of non-steroidal anti-inflammatories toxicity have a prognosis of “good” to “guarded” depending on clinical signs.

“It is best not to give any NSAIDs to pets, unless under the direct supervision of your veterinarian,” Black said. “And keep medications out of the reach of pets. Pets are naturally drawn to objects that we touch often and pill bottles are regularly handled, so they carry our scent.”

“We typically use terms of ‘excellent, good, fair, guarded and grave’ to give odds of survival in these types of cases. Excellent indicates we have little doubt that, with appropriate care (typically minimal care), their pet will return to normal function,” Black said. “Guarded prognoses usually have a 50-50 chance for survival

In our neck of the woods we are starting to notice some subtle, and not so subtle hints that autumn is right around the corner. Pre-season professional football has begun, school has started, and the hickory leaves are turning red at the edges.

Autumn is a great time of the year to camp, and today’s meal can be done on an open camp fire or in your kitchen. During the school year, this is a great meal to send with your kids (or spouse) as they head out to face the world.

I will do my best to describe how I fix these breakfast burritos, but you may want to watch a short video I created to get the hang of it. Just log on to www.YouTube.com/BBQMyWay. In the search box to the right, type in “breakfast burritos.”

4 to 5 eggs 1/4 cup of milk 4 whole wheat (or white) tortillas 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 2 to 4 slices of thick cut bacon Salsa Hot sauce (optional) Salt and pepper to taste Whisk eggs and milk in a bowl until well mixed and slightly foamy. In a buttered skillet, pour the eggs and cook over medium to medium-high heat.

Fold over frequently until cooked. The goal is to have scrambled eggs that are not crumbled, but that are in tact for the most part.

This is so that when you bite into the burrito, eggs won’t fall out all over your lap. Salt and pepper to taste. Layer the eggs with the cheese. Remove from heat and place a lid on the eggs to melt the cheese.

In a second skillet, cook the bacon. Remove the bacon and pour most of the grease into a cup. Cover and place in the fridge for future use. Every kitchen See BURRITO, pg. 12A

Take the proper steps toward safety around tractors Tractors are the main cause of accidental deaths on farms. Over the years, many farmers, farm workers and others living on or visiting farms have been killed or seriously injured when falling from moving tractors, being run over by tractors, or being crushed when a tractor rolls sideways or backwards.

Spot the hazard Regularly check for hazards relating to tractors, attached implements and field conditions. Hazardous areas could include mechanical parts, operator training, other people, work procedures, unsafe jacking, climatic conditions, chemicals used, uneven terrain and any other potential causes of an injury or a hazardous incident. Keep a record to ensure identified hazards are assessed and controlled.

Assess the risk Once a potential hazard has been identified, assess the likelihood of an injury or hazardous incident occurring. For example, risk to children playing near a tractor will vary, depending on what the tractor operator is doing, how close they are to the tractor, and whether the operator knows they are there. Consider ways of minimizing risk.

Make the changes Ways to improve tractor operator safety include ...

• Reading and following safety procedures in the manufacturer’s manual.

• Ensuring an approved cab or rollover protective struc-

ture is fitted.

• Fitting and using a seatbelt on tractors with ROPS. • Fitting a fall-on protective structure on tractors at risk from falling objects.

• Fitting a seat with side restraints and a back rest to reduce the risk of back strain.

• Wearing hearing protection and remembering that not all tractor cabs are soundproof.

• Keeping children away from tractors and machinery.

• Removing starter keys when tractors are not in use.

• Having an up-to-date maintenance schedule.

• Following safe maintenance and jacking procedures.

• Ensuring the operator is properly

trained for each type of tractor work.

• Always mounting and dismounting on a tractor’s left side in order to avoid the controls.

• Adjusting the seat so all controls are safely and comfortably within reach.

• Keeping all guards in place, including the power take-off.

• Operating the self-starter from the operator position only.

• Never carrying passengers.

When operating a tractor ...

• Drive at speeds slow enough to retain control over unexpected events.

• Reduce speed before turning or applying brakes.

• Watch out for ditches, logs, rocks, depressions and embankments.

• On steep slopes, without a trailed implement, reverse up for greater safety.

• Engage the clutch gently at all times, especially when going uphill or towing.

• Use as wide a wheel track as possible on hillsides and sloping ground.

• Descend slopes cautiously in low gear, using the motor as a brake.

• Never mount or dismount a moving tractor.

• Ensure the park brake is on and operating effectively before dismounting.

• Take short breaks regularly when working long hours.

When towing implements ...

• Fit attachments according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Always attach implements to the draw bar or the mounting points provided by the manufacturer.

• Never alter, modify or raise the height of the draw bar, unless provided for by the manufacturer.

• Regularly check safety pins on towed lift-wing implements to ensure they are not worn.

• Ensure all guards on towed implements are in place before operating.

• Never hitch above the center line of the rear axle, around the axle housing, or to the top link pin.

• Never adjust or work on implements while they are in motion.

• Never attach implements unless the PTO shaft is guarded.

• When parking, always lower the three-point linkage and towed implement.

To avoid strain injury ...

• Adjust the tractor seat for back support and comfort.

• When buying a tractor, ensure seating is safe and comfortable.

• Check seat height, seat depth, back rest height and angle, fore and aft movement, seat tilt, firm padding, partial pivoting (if you have to spend long periods looking behind you), and vibration-absorbing suspension.

• Dismount every hour or so, and spend five to 10 minutes doing something active.

• Plan for your next tractor to include suitably low steps, hand grips, adequate doorway and cab space, and a safe mounting platform.

• Dismount by climbing down — not jumping down — and use each provided foot and hand hold.

See SAFETY, pg. 16A

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

for any length of time, even to check a malfunction, the motor should always be shut off, brakes engaged, the transmission in park-lock or in gear, keys removed and any attachments (in the case of a baler or mower) disengaged and lowered to the ground (if applicable). People can be seriously injured or killed being run over by improperly parked tractors, with or without the engine running.

• Safety guards should always be in place when operating any pieced of machinery. This includes power take-off master shields, PTO driveline shields, auger throat shields, belt shields, chain guards, etc.

• All tractors should be equipped with Roll-Over Protective Structures. Nearly all flips or roll-overs in tractors without ROPS result in fatalities. Most new tractors come equipped with a factory-installed ROPS. It is important to remember that not all tractor cabs are ROPS. Some are designed strictly to shield the operator from the weather. Check with the tractor manufacturer to determine if the cab is a ROPS cab. If a tractor without a ROPS is being used, it is suggested that a ROPS be installed. However, a ROPS is not something thrown together in the machine shed. ROPS need to be properly designed, manufactured and installed in order to be fully effective. Contact your local farm equipment dealer for ROPS purchase and installation information.

• A seat belt should be worn when operating machinery equipped with ROPS. A seat belt will keep you within the safety zone of the ROPS in the case of a flip or roll-over.

Even when operating machinery equipped with an enclosed cab, it is important to use a seat belt to prevent the likelihood of being thrown out the door, through a window or into the cab frame.

• Falling Object Protective Structures should be installed on equipment where the user runs the risk of being struck by falling debris. Equipment where this type of structure may be necessary would be front-end loaders. Details regarding installation would follow the procedures outlined above for ROPS. • All farm equipment traveling on any roadway should be equipped with an approved Slow Moving Vehicle emblem. Emblems should be placed on all tractors and any implements that will be towed. Emblems should be clean and in serviceable condition. Broken, worn or discolored emblems should be replaced. Emblems should be on the rear of the vehicle, in such a location that they are highly visible and not obscured by mechanical components of the machinery.

• Farm equipment used on public roadways is required to have lights conforming to motor vehicle codes of the respective state, including headlights, front signal flashers, rear signal flasher, brake lights and emergency flashers.

• When traveling on public roadways, obey all traffic laws. Many tractor-related accidents occur when traveling on roadways. Within the last 10 years, there has been a sharp increase in the number of tractor/roadway accidents. This is due, in part, to the increase in auto traffic on rural roads and the increased need for farmers to have equipment on the road to get from field to field.

• Due to the high level of noise associated with

It is important to be aware of the potential hazards associated with the operation of farm machinery. Numerous research studies have shown that the majority of machinery-related accidents occur as the result of human negligence, including taking shortcuts to save time, failing to read the operator’s manual, ignoring a posted warning, improper instruction, lack of instruction, failure to follow safety rules, or improper or lack of maintenance.

Operation of farm machinery The safe operation of farm machinery is paramount to successful farming operations. Injuries resulting from human-machine incidents result in a loss of morale, lost productivity and potential loss of employees due to extended restricted duty or death. The following guidelines should be employed when operating farm machinery.

• Never operate farm machinery while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The physiological effects of drugs and alcohol on the body pose hazards to you and others around you if you operate while under the influence. This includes over-the-counter cold/flu medications and allergy medications.

• Before using a piece of farm machinery, the operator must read and understand the user’s manual for that equipment. In addition, the operator must receive training on the safe operation of that equipment by a competent person who is familiar with the operation of the equipment and the hazards associated with misuse of the equipment.

• Protective clothing should be worn during the operation of farm machinery, such as properly-fitting coveralls, heavy work gloves, work boots, and eye and/or hearing protection. Loose-fitting clothing, jewelry, etc., should be removed before beginning work involving farm machinery.

Long hair should be secured in a manner that keeps it away from mechanical parts, such as under a hat or tied into a bun. Rotating machinery parts can entangle loose clothing, long hair or dangling jewelry faster than the victim can react.

• The majority of farm machinery was designed to carry a single operator. Passengers should not be carried on tractors, combines, sprayers, etc., unless the machinery is new enough to come from the factory with an “instructor seat,” which is a seat to the side of the main operator’s chair, complete with a seat belt.

• Passengers should not be carried in loader buckets or on the tongue between the truck/tractor and implement. The only situations where passengers may be allowed are those where passengers are a necessity, such as the carrying of passengers on hay wagons. Special precautions must be taken to ensure the safety of these passengers.

• Any and all persons not actively participating in work operations involving farm machinery should keep a safe distance from machinery to avoid potential injury.

• Equipment being refueled should have its engine turned off before refueling. Personnel should be instructed on how to properly refuel equipment: do periodic maintenance checks on the tank, pump, hose and nozzle; and abide by safety rules, such as not smoking when around the refueling area.

• Whenever parking or leaving a piece of machinery

Proper equipment maintenance important for farm safety SAFETY, from pg. 15A machinery, it is advisable to develop a system of hand signals to use during operation. A standard system of signals has been developed by the American Society of Agricultural Engineers.

• All implements and attachments should only be used in the proper manner for which they were designed. They should be disengaged, powered down, or lowered completely to the ground when a person is exiting or shutting down the tractor.

• If a piece of equipment becomes clogged or jammed, never attempt to clean out the blockage until the machine is completely shut off and all moving parts come to a complete stop.

• Never tow an implement improperly hitched to a tractor or truck. Equipment being towed should be hitched directly to the draw bar with a hitch pin secured in place by a cotter pin. Do not tow implements with chains, cables or ropes. The breakage of chains, cables and ropes while towing can cause severe, even fatal, injuries to the driver and bystanders. The draw bar on a tractor or the hitch on a truck should be kept as low as possible. Know the maximum height recommended by the tractor manufacturer and do not exceed this height. Never attach equipment to the tractor frame or axle.

• Terrain should always be taken into consideration when driving farm vehicles. When a tractor’s center of gravity moves beyond the point where the rear tractor wheels are touching the ground, a tip-over is likely. To prevent tractor roll-over, avoid driving on steep slopes, deep ditches, on extremely rough ground, or over stumps and large rocks. Do not drive along the edge of streams or pits.

If you must drive near a stream or pit, keep the distance from the edge equal to the height of the bank. The chance of the bank collapsing from the weight of the tractor is high. When traveling downhill, always keep the tractor for track in gear. Do not free-wheel in neutral. Seek an alternate route around potential danger areas. If an alternate route is not possible, proceed cautiously at slow speeds.

• Do not try to tow loads that are too heavy for the tractor. Too much towing weight can cause a tractor to become unstable and extremely difficult to control due to the “whipping” action of the load.

• Many tractor accidents involve excessive speed.

Drive at a speed appropriate for ...

• the job you are doing • the terrain over which you are traveling • the piece(s) of equipment you are using Remember to slow down whenever making turns.

Maintenance of farm machinery • During the repair of any machinery, appropriate protective clothing should be worn. This includes helmets, goggles, gloves, hearing production and safety shoes. Do not wear baggy clothing. Loose-fitting cloth-

ing becomes easily caught in rotating machinery parts.

• All machinery should be maintained regularly. Any worn or broken parts should be replaced immediately, or repaired according to manufacturer’s specifications.

• When repairs are made, any guard removed during repair must be replaced before the equipment is used.

• Tire inflation needs to be checked periodically to prevent flats and blowouts.

• Whenever preparing to work on a piece of equipment, wheels need to be blocked to prevent movement and any jacks used should be appropriate for the weight to be lifted, stable and in good condition.

• Brakes, hitches, safety chains, springs and shackles should be inspected regularly for wear, broken or missing parts, cracked welds and excessive debris (mud, manure, rust).

• Hydraulic and air lines should be inspected for wear and cracks. Any indication of damage to these lines should be immediate grounds for replacement of the line. Caution should be taken when working on hydraulic systems.

Ensure all pressure in the system is relieved properly and that the fluid has cooled before loosening any fittings or removing lines. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when performing maintenance on hydraulic systems, such as safety glasses with approved side shields, heavy leather work gloves and coveralls or an apron.

Cover story: Nitrates may be an issue in corn silage

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Because of this challenging crop season nitrates in corn silage are getting headlines. It might be a bit of an overreaction.

“I don’t think it’s a huge issue.

Potentially it could be, so best advice is to get a lab test. It’s not an expensive test and obviously your own peace of mind is important,” said Jim Salfer, University of Minnesota regional Extension educator at St. Cloud.

He describes two situations where nitrates are potential problems. If your corn is really short there could be an issue because nitrates tend to accumulate at the base of the corn plant. But if corn gets waist high and taller, it’s usually not a problem, Salfer said.

“Where nitrates are a problem is when the soil is full of nitrogen and you get good rains ahead of cutting.

Suddenly that corn plant is gobbling up a bunch of that nitrogen. Also if you’ve got some really droughty corn and it rains just before you go the field, those corn plants again start sucking up all that ‘unused’ nitrogen.”

When corn goes through the fermentation process the nitrate levels decrease rather substantially. So simply letting the silage sit for a few days before feeding usually solves the problem. “That said however if you green chop this droughty corn you potentially are looking at a nitrate issue.”

Salfer said that across Minnesota he doesn’t see nitrates as a big issue. Cutting your silage higher makes a difference too since nitrates tend to accumulate at higher rates in the bottom portion of the corn stalk.

Have the extreme variations in heat and moisture produced some different mycotoxins this year? “Real hot weather can generate aflatoxins, but that’s a rarity in Minnesota. It’s difficult to predict whether we’ll have more or less mycotoxin issues. But any time the corn plant is under stress you typically may have more toxins. Mycotoxins are produced by mold so you got to have environments conducive to mold growth and real dry weather isn’t conducive to molds,” Salfer said.

Mycotoxins can create a variety of health problems for animals. In swine and equine, there is a higher sensitivity to contaminated feed, and feed avoidance is a common symptom of

If producers or nutritionists were to conservatively balance on the lower end (70-percent area) and the quality was higher, they would overspend through unnecessary supplementation.

— Alvaro Garcia, South Dakota State University Extension dairy specialist mycotoxicoses in these animals.

In poultry, egg shell quality, feed efficiency and immunity are affected.

Ruminant animals can bear relatively higher mycotoxin challenges. Many mycotoxins have been shown to compromise milk production, reproduction and immunity, especially in high-yielding cows.

According to Swamy Haladi, part of Alltech’s Mycotoxin Management Team, this year’s drought is the precursor for several different types of mycotoxins. Aspergillus and some of the fusarium molds such as fusarium verticilloides and fusarium proliferatum will be the most prevalent. This can lead to production of aflatoxins

and fumonisins in addition to routine incidences of vomitoxin and zearalenone in U.S. and Canadian feedstuffs. Silages will have even bigger challenges.

“Silage that is too dry, less than 65 percent moisture, will not pack well,” Haladi said. “This situation increases the chances of penicillum molds. As a result we can expect several silagespecific mycotoxins. These silage-borne mycotoxins can act as antibiotics and kill beneficial microbes in the rumen.

The net result is lowered productivity and metabolic disorders.”

Early corn harvest could improve price

By TIM KROHN Mankato Free Press The latest drought assessment shows much of Minnesota a bit drier than it was just a week earlier, with most of the southern, western and northwestern part of the state at least abnormally dry.

The value of the crop is so high, it’s worth going and getting it early and drying it down. If it’s left in the field the possibility of Mother Nature taking it down, stalk or roots going down — all that can come into play.

Nature taking it down, stalk or roots going down — all that can come into play.”

Silage sampling determines real feed value

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

NITRATES, from pg. 18A cautions about arbitrarily assigning a nutritive value of drought-stressed corn between 70 and 100 percent of normal corn silage. He said this is too wide a range.

“If producers or nutritionists were to conservatively balance on the lower end (70-percent area) and the quality was higher, they would overspend through unnecessary supplementation,” Garcia said. The SDSU Dairy Science Department is offering to help South Dakota dairy farmers determine the real feed value of their corn silage by offering a free analysis of their silage.

For South Dakota dairy farmers, the SDSU lab will analyze samples for nutrient quality as well as quantitative nitrate content. This free testing only ran until Aug. 20. SDSU will later provide a publication available to all livestock producers on this information.

So what’s a good sample? Sampling protocol reads: Take fresh samples, collecting 15 to 20 handfuls of material into a bucket, mix thoroughly, submit a 1 to 2 1/2 pound sample in a plastic bag. Remove as much air as possible and seal tightly.

Cool or freeze sample until mailing. Avoid mailing samples over a weekend and holidays. Salfer said there are several labs in Minnesota doing this work.

Check with your local Extension office, or more directly check with the marketing firm buying your milk. Your milk hauler may even provide the sampling kit. For more information on this topic, search online for “nitrate issues in corn silage”. ❖

Farm bill still No. 1 priority, with drought relief programs

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Getting the farm bill done and some relief programs to farmers severely hurt in this year’s drought are the two biggest issues facing corn growers, both state and nationally.

At least that’s the impression of John Mages John Mages, Belgrade, Minn., producer and Minnesota Corn Growers Association president.

“This issue on renewable fuels is big now, too. I think the market will sort of take care of things. If corn keeps getting higher, ethanol plants will start curtailing production or even shutting down,” Mages said in an interview at Farmfest. He clearly stated that the corn growers don’t want to see a temporary waiver on the 10 percent Renewable Fuels Standard program. “We simply want to see the system work the way it’s set up to work.”

He too has some frustration over the talking about the farm bill when really it’s more of a food and nutrition program. He recalled when he and others were in U.S. Department of Agriculture Sec-

Here in America we continue to have some of the cheapest food worldwide and because we feed so much of the world besides our own population, food security is vital and that means farm programs that protect farmers in their food production business. retary Tom Vilsack’s office and Vilsack told his visiting farmers that he fines his staff people every time they say “farm bill” in his presence.

Food and Security Bill is the proper label and Mages agreed that because of food’s vital importance to the country’s security that is indeed a proper label. “Here in America we continue to have some of the cheapest food worldwide and because we feed so much of the world besides our own population, food security is vital and that means farm programs that protect farmers in their food production business.”

Today crop insurance is the biggest safety net for

farmers Mages said. He points out the obvious that farmers don’t need help when times are good. “Hopefully that’s the direction of the next farm bill with emphasis on the right kind of insurance programs to cover in the tough times.”

His area is one of the really good crop outlook areas of Minnesota. “We’ve been blessed with timely rains much of this growing season. It looks now like this could be one of our better harvests, both corn and soybeans.”

Membership in Minnesota Corn Growers Association continues strong. Just a couple years back the MCGA was the largest state association in the nation. Iowa got into gear and now has about 600 more members than Minnesota which currently has some 8,400 members.

Kaler told the agricultural audience, “We’re here to team with you — to deliver value that you need.” Since the U of M is the eighth largest public research university in the nation, he said, “Minnesota is equipped to become the Silicon Valley of the food industry.”

The president compared the university to a team sport. “We have a good team of deans.” The budget drives the university to be efficient.

Taking a cue from the panel’s topic, Buhr said, “The mother of innovation is necessity, and the father surely is investment capital.” The university is

using technology to get the highest possible return. However, it takes 18 to 25 years to realize a return on the investment.

In spite of the decline in research dollars, White said that the university is successful because “we did invest 20 years ago.” He urged the audience to “let politicians know the university must be a priority” for funding. He cited the example of the university’s organic dairy, the largest of any research institution in the country.

Addressing online agriculture courses, White said, “there are real opportunities, but also pitfalls.” He went on to say, “It’s part of the future.”

Today’s students are comfortable with technology, so the university needs to catch up with them and offer more online courses. Muscovice added that the school of health already has 60 courses online.

“Students get to be taught by experts from Texas A&M as well as other

places,” White said. He also emphasized the high quality of online education.

Muscovice stressed the need for health care professionals in rural areas and urged the audience to tell the federal government that “rural ain’t small urban.” He emphasized opportunities coming for insurance through employers and government programs because of the new health care program.

The federal government must also realize that health professionals don’t want a two-tier system. Rural people deserve access to the same high-quality health care that metropolitan residents enjoy. Muscovice believes there must be team-based care using technology to eliminate duplication of services, although this teamwork may result in lower reimbursements for health care workers.

THE LAND, AUGUST 31, 2012

By CAROLYN VAN LOH The Land Correspondent President Lincoln signed the Morrill Act on July 2, 1862. This milestone legislation granted federal land for states to establish educational institutions that would Eric Kaler teach agriculture, mechanic arts and military tactics along with classical studies. The nation has fought several wars and agriculture has changed drastically since then, but the University of Minnesota, a land grant university, must utilize modern technology to meet current challenges of agriculture.

A U of M panel at Farmfest, “Innovation in Agriculture — Opportunities from the University,” addressed the university’s role in agriculture today.

Jerry Groskreutz, farm director of KDHL Radio, moderated the discussion. President Eric Kaler; Brian Buhr, head of the Department of Applied

Economy may slow exports MAGES, from pg. 20A be showing land owners that the MCGA membership is indeed a good place to be,” Mages said.

Due to the current economy worldwide, he understands export markets may start slowing. But there is such tremendous demand in China, Southeast Asia, Korea and Japan that he’s certain demand will stay strong. A bigger question is will there be enough U.S. corn to meet the demand? West Coast terminals, especially in Oregon and Washington keep expanding their capacity to load and move grain simply because the demand keeps increasing.

exceeding, Mages suggests that livestock feeders will eventually see extra corn and at more competitive prices. If the ethanol supply-demand equation gets in balance should a 15-percent ethanol blend become a logical move?

“Sure, down the road we’d like to see that happen. That much more ethanol means that much more DDG feedstuffs.

And refiners need more ethanol. It helps them meet their clean air standards plus it keeps pump prices at least 50 cents a gallon cheaper I’m told,” Mages said. ❖

Key to invest in future scientists U OF M, from pg. 21A Buhr, who also heads the agriculture education department, stressed the importance of education. He told the audience that the university is growing the education department by acquiring new faculty while working to recruit more students to the program.

Investing in highly qualified professors who enhance their teaching with

the latest technology is an important means of attracting students interested in studying for a career in agriculture or agribusiness. According to Buhr, a second part of the equation is investing in future scientists by aggressively funding graduate students.

The U of M and the agriculture industry need each other’s support for both of them to succeed in a world being influenced by new technology. ❖

Proper retirement age depends on personal situation she reaches full retirement age. Working until 70 will greatly affect the wife’s income when the husband dies.

The survivor benefits make the Social Security retirement benefit similar to a joint-life annuity.

If the wife is older than her husband but both will reach full retirement within several months of each other, there is a strategy that might work for maximizing the Social Security benefits. When she reaches 66, file for Social Security and immediately suspend those benefits.

If you do this, future benefits increase about 8 percent a year. Waiting four years, to the age of 70 when the annual increases top out, would mean that a $1,000 per month benefit

would rise to $1,320. Meanwhile, when your husband reaches full retirement age, he can apply for a spousal benefit based on your work record, because you’ve filed. Typically he’ll get about 50 percent of what your basic payment would have been.

When he reaches 70, he can then file for retirement benefits on his own record. Like yours, they will have grown by 32 percent over what they would have been had he claimed them at age 66.

Typically, the person who reaches the full retirement age files first. But, if your husband’s benefits are greater than yours, he should consider being the first to file in order for you to get the larger spousal benefit.

For more information about what to consider when planning for retirement, contact your local ISU Extension office and ask for the publication series, Retirement: Secure Your Dreams.

ments not received during the fouryear delay period and life expectancy are not factored in). Also, the increased benefit from the day until age 70 is subject to further compounding from the annual cost of living adjustments that Social Security provides.

The other thing to consider is survivor benefits. If the wife is younger and took time off from work to raise a family, her Social Security benefits will be small in comparison. If the man of the house dies first, she would be entitled to claim a survivor’s benefit equal to 100 percent of her husband’s when

THE LAND, AUGUST 31, 2012

Those contemplating retirement tend to fall into three categories — those forced into retirement at age 62; those waiting until full retirement between the age of 66 and 67; and those who further delay retirement until age 70.

“One of the primary reasons for waiting until the full retirement age is that a retiree cannot get on Medicare until age 65,” said Brenda Schmitt, Iowa State University Extension Family Finance specialist. “Waiting ’til 70 has some financial benefits as well.”

For each year after you reach full retirement that you delay claiming benefits, your monthly benefit will increase by 8 percent (if you are born in 1943 or later). For example, if you are to receive $2,314 at the age of 66, it would mean receiving $3,102 at the age of 70 — a difference of $788 per month. By delaying four years, you would receive a 34-percent return on this four-year investment.

That is a recurring and guaranteed return, year after year for at least as long as you live (realizing that pay-

The following market analysis is for the week ending Aug. 24.

CORN — Disappointing early crop yield reports from the crop tour got the week off to an excellent start with December corn gaining nearly 33 cents in the first two trading sessions of the week.

As the crop tour progressed across the Corn Belt, some numbers improved slightly and the market searched for fresh news. The tour pegged the Illinois corn yield at 121.6 bushels per acre versus the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 116 bu./acre and the tour’s threeyear average of 163.2 bu./acre.

The caveat to the Illinois numNYSTROM ber is the tour did not sample the PHYLLIS Country Hedging southern half of the state where St. Paul the worst drought occurred. The lack of inspiration resulted in some profit taking selling at mid-week.

A cut by the International Grains Council to global corn production of 26 million metric tons to 838 mmt didn’t seem to faze the market. The USDA was at 849 mmt on the last report.

The Pro Farmer crop tour predicted this year’s corn yield at 120.25 bu./acre with a range of 119.05 to 121.45 bu./acre. Their crop production figure was 10.478 billion bushels, range 10.374 to 10.583 billion bushels. The August USDA numbers were 123.4 bu./acre with production at 10.779 billion bushels.

Last year most of the corn yields in a specific state were fairly even across the state; this year however poses a more difficult scenario when trying to forecast an “average” yield of each state. The variability across a state this year is tremendously wide. You may only have to go five or 10 miles away to a different field to see yield

As we approach the end of August, the livestock markets are in retreat.

Hogs which have been in a slide through the entire month are now being joined by the cattle which have now begun to slip back from their recent rally. It would suggest that the seasonal patterns of lower prices into the fall months for livestock prices are here and working toward fall lows in the weeks ahead.

The cattle market has seen prices increase through the first half of August only to meet resistance just above the $120 per hundredweight level basis the Midwest. During this period, beef cutouts moved above the $190/cwt. basis choice met considerJOE TEALE able resistance from the domestic Broker retailer and the export market.

Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn.

Volume in the boxed beef trade slowed to a snail’s pace and the packer is now trying to move the inventory of beef accumulated at lower prices which narrow their margins.

This could effect the bidding for live inventory in the weeks ahead in a negative fashion. Beef production seems adequate to meet demand needs at this juncture.

Cattle weights remain well over last year’s levels which increase the total beef production despite the fewer cattle marketed. From just an economic standpoint, if pork prices remain low as well as poultry, beef should have a tough time maintaining current price levels. Producers are urged to look at the overall situation in the meat markets in general and consider what the next few months will bring in the cattle market and decide if price protection is warranted for their particular needs.

The hog market has been on a downspin for over 30 days and it feels as if it will never end. However, as markets go, every market turns and goes the oppo-

The “Dog Days” of summer are slowly fading into our memory.

The excessive heat and dry weather have already damaged many of the row crops and pastures. The grain markets have rallied to new all-time record high prices in an effort to ration the expected supply. Crop tour participants pander to the media in hopes of fueling one last bullish rally before harvest. Grain markets react to “Tweets” from the Twitter accounts of private forecasters.

All of this has led to a type of fatigue in the marketplace that requires greater sensationalism to get the grain industry’s attention.

TOM NEHER It appears that we will see an AgStar VP & Team Leader — Grain Industry early harvest as stressed crops Rochester, Minn. mature quicker and run the risk of dropping ears or lodging. It will be a race to get this crop in the bin. Once this is completed, the push will come from end-users trying to secure cash corn and soybeans for the coming year.

The basis market will likely become volatile. Currently the corn and soybean markets are inverted, which means that the front months are higher priced than the deferred contracts. This is the market’s attempt to pull grain through the delivery channels sooner, rather than later. Will grain producers fill their bins in the face of this inverted market or will they sell it and reward the inverted market? Will end-users wanting to secure cash grain that they do not have room to store, be willing to pay for storage?

This grain battle does not get any easier, it only gets more complicated. The political climate in Washington seems to be in a state of gridlock and the likelihood of passing a new farm bill is unlikely

26 A

Strong soybean sales suggest no slowing demand NYSTROM, from pg. 25A discrepancies of 80 to 100 bu./acre.

Unlike other short crop years, we have ethanol usage to contend with when figuring how much we need to ration. A recent Reuters poll pegged U.S. corn yield at 121.5 bu./acre, the smallest in 16 years, with production of 10.5 billion bushels, the lowest in eight years.

Besides trying to forecast what the crop size is, another effect of this year’s drought is low water levels on the Mississippi River. Barges are backed up around Greenville, Miss., and some areas of the river only have one lane open. Low water is expected to be a factor into October.

Weekly old crop export sales were 4.2 million bushels. New crop sales were decent at 8.5 million bushels. We are hearing that poultry is hitting the market at lighter weights, ethanol grinds are lower, and of hog and cattle liquidation. The USDA estimates beef output will hit a nine-year low next year. The full effect of any feed demand rationing won’t fully be known until the January stocks report.

The Environmental Protection Agency opened up a 30-day comment period on waiving the ethanol mandate. Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad would like to see it left alone. Regardless of everyone’s wishes, nothing will be done until after the November elections. Currently, ethanol is cheaper than gasoline and any other substitute, pointing to continued ethanol use regardless of any mandate changes.

Weekly ethanol production was up 4,000 barrels per day, but is still 9

percent less than a year ago. Ethanol stocks were up 2

million gallons.

OUTLOOK: Weather has become a non-factor for yield, but could still figure into the speed of harvest and moisture levels.

U.S. corn demand in 1974-75 was cut 18 percent and 8.6 percent in 1995-96 on short crops. This year’s demand is only forecast to decline 10 percent on the August USDA report. Have we accomplished this yet? On the weekly December chart, December corn has closed from $8.07 1/4 to $8.09 1/4 in each of the last four weeks. This week it settled at $8.08 1/2, up 1 1/4 cents for the week. The December contract finds first support at $7.80 and first resistance at $8.50 per bushel.

As harvest picks up, we may see a slowing to the upside for corn.

SOYBEANS — Rationing, what rationing?

November soybeans ran to a new record high for a November contract at $17.44 3/4 on Aug. 23.

Late rains may be helping with yield, but strong sales suggest we have not yet slowed demand. Weekly export sales were good this week at 4.9 million bushels for the remainder of this marketing year and 21.5 million bushels for new crop.

Eighty percent of the total weekly sales were to China. In addition, new sales were reported showing China bought three soybeans cargoes for new crop, one cargo of soybean oil and an unknown destination bought four U.S. soybean cargoes. Taiwan also stepped in as a buyer of soybeans from both the United States and Brazil for delivery

out nearly a year. This is unusual, as Taiwan’s purchases are normally for a closer delivery time frame.

New crop total export commitments are a huge 618.3 million bushels as compared to last year’s 414.4 million bushels on the books at this time.

Weekly meal sales of 163,500 mt for old crop and 182,000 mt for new crop were also excellent. New crop meal sales are nearly 2 1/2 times higher than last year at this time.

Trade ideas are that South American acres will increase 8 percent to 10 percent this year, we better hope so and that they have good weather, too. We’ll need everyone’s bushels to feed China’s appetite. Crush margins continue to be positive in the United States, South America and Europe.

The crop tour’s methodology involves counting bean pods and then estimating yields. The tour’s overall average bean yield estimate was 34.8 bu./acre with a range of 34.1 to 35.5 bu./acre.

They forecast production at 2.6 billion bushels, range of 2.548 billion to 2.652

billion bushels. In August the USDA used 36.1 bu./acre and 2.692 billion bushels. Keep in mind that this year the tour did not get the reportedly worst areas of southern and west central Illinois, southern Indiana, and did not cover any of Missouri or Kansas.

Trade talk is increasing that we could eventually have a national yield average under 35 bu./acre. The USDA on the August report was at 36.1 bu./acre.

OUTLOOK: November beans continued on its trajectory higher with support at this week’s low of $16.41, while eyeing $17.50 to $18 and beyond for the upside. Poor pod counts from the crop tour and new sales kept sellers at bay.

Until either demand has been curtailed or yields prove better than anticipated, breaks in soybeans will be seen as buying opportunities by end users. November soybeans were up 85 3/4 cents this week to close at $17.31 1/2 per bushel. ❖

Technically the hog market is becoming oversold and is close to developing a low. By looking at the futures market deeply discount to the cash market. This suggests an even further drop in hog prices through the end of the year. With all the liquidation of sows over recent weeks, the possibility now exists that the number of hogs over time will decrease substantially which should help stabilize cash prices. This liquidation

has created a large inventory of pork that will have to be absorbed by the consumer over the next few months.

Considering the price difference in the pork cutout versus the beef cutout, the value is in pork which should precipitate more interest by the consumer toward pork products both export and domestic. Producers should continue to monitor the hog market and keep current on marketing and use price protection as needed. ❖

NEHER, from pg. 25A until the results of the upcoming elections are known.

The New York Times published an article that examined drought maps back into the 1800s. A consistent pattern could be seen in drought years in the past. They tend to come in three-year waves. The drought would start in an area causing considerable damage, followed by another year that greatly expands the dry areas. This major drought year was then followed by another drought year of lesser consequence.

If this pattern were to hold true, we could be in for another dry year next year.

If we were to experience another year of drought on the back of this damaged crop, the supply-demand battle could

make this year look like a “cakewalk.”

The damage that would be felt in the livestock sector would be immense. The political battle between the food-versus-fuel debate would rage. Our relationships with our export partners would be strained and tested. Demand for water would become a serious point of concern.

Hog market becoming oversold

Patterns show a dry 2013

Would this be a “Black Swan” to hit the markets? As always with Mother Nature, there are no guarantees.

It may be important to consider what type of tillage or soil preparation program that would position us to best manage another dry year. What agronomic practices would allow us to capture and maintain the moisture that we receive this fall and winter? This could be a grain angle worth exploring. ❖

Butter stocks down from June, but up from 2011 MIELKE, from pg. 27A the barrels averaged $1.7811, up 6.7 cents.

Cheese price increases have fueled interest in securing inventory before further price increases, according to the USDA’s Dairy Market News.

Demand for Labor Day retail specials and filling the pipeline for school openings added to immediate interest.

Hot weather continues to impact milk volumes available for processing and cheese plants are paying premiums in some cases to secure additional milk.

Spot butter moved higher for the ninth week in a row, closing Aug. 24 at $1.80/lb., up three-quarter cents on the week but still 29.25 cents below a year ago. Nothing sold all week. The AMS butter averaged $1.7154, up 5.2 cents.

The USDA reports that churning across the country is mixed. Overall butter demand is fair. Retail orders

are stable as grocery shopping patterns are starting to pick up.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk hit $1.6650, up a penny and a half on the week. Extra Grade held at $1.6250.

The AMS-surveyed powder price averaged $1.2575, up 1.1 cent, and dry whey averaged 53.99 cents, up a penny.

■ Checking the cupboard, the latest Cold Storage report’s preliminary data shows July butter stocks at 232 million pounds, down 5 percent from June but 24 percent above July 2011.

American type cheese totaled 634 million pounds, up 1 percent from June but 2 percent below a year ago. Total cheese stocks are 1.04 billion pounds, unchanged from June and 4 percent below a year ago.

USDA. On the other hand, foodservice orders are easing. As the Labor Day Holiday approaches, which is often referred to as the unofficial end of the summer vacation season, foodservice orders for resort and vacation areas of the country adjust their buying patterns, often reflecting slower customer traffic through their operations.

Butter exports continue with the assistance of the Cooperatives Working Together program which accepted two requests for export assistance this week to sell 127,868 pounds of cheese to customers in Asia and the South Pacific.

■ The USDA announced the September federal order Class I base milk price at $17.59/cwt., up $1.04 from August but still $4.19 below September 2011 and equates to about $1.51 per gallon.

That brings the 2012 Class I average to $16.50, down from $19.23 at this time a year ago and compares to $14.83 in 2010 and $10.95 in 2009.

■ Speaking of policy, Dairy Profit Weekly reports that a court ruling apparently paves the way for increased ethanol use.

The U.S. Appeals Court for the District of Columbia Circuit sided with the Environmental Protection Agency and its partial waiver approval for E15 ethanol (15 percent ethanol/85 percent gasoline) fuel for model year 2001 and newer light duty vehicles and all flexfuel vehicles which represents nearly two-thirds of all vehicles on the road.

Food, auto engine and oil refinery industry trade associations had challenged the approval of E15. The food industry said E15 approval would lead to higher corn and food prices. Auto engine makers said E15 could open them to lawsuits if engines malfunctioned.

Since the initial waiver filing in March 2009, vehicles were tested using E15, health effects data on E15 was collected and approved, and a first-ofits-kind misfueling mitigation plan was required and approved in order for retailers to offer E15. Currently, the market for ethanol confined to E10 See MIELKE, pg. 29A

■ The National Milk Producers Federation has joined nearly 40 other farm and ranch organizations to raise public awareness of the need for Congress to pass a new farm bill before current farm programs expire in September.

The coalition, called Farm Bill Now, comprises associations and coalitions representing commodity crops, livestock, specialty and minor crops, energy and biobased product groups, farm cooperatives and financial groups, as well as the nation’s two largest farm groups, the American Farm Bureau Federation and the National Farmers Union.

per acre favors harvest of soybeans.

However, yields below five bushel per acre clearly show more value as forage. “Other factors can change the decision between five and 10 bushels per acre. That won’t be an easy decision.”

Wiebold said, “once you make a decision to cut soybeans for forage, or to harvest beans, do not look back.

There’s a good chance you will think you made a wrong decision, either way.”

MIELKE, from pg. 28A blends has been saturated, according to the Renewable Fuels Association.

Allowing ethanol blends of up to E15 for 2001 and newer vehicles, as well as increasing the availability of higher level ethanol blends up to E85, will open more markets to the domestic renewable fuels industry. The impact won’t be immediate, the DPW said.

Only one Kansas retailer offers E15.

■ Meanwhile, the EPA opened a 30-day comment period on a request seeking a temporary waiver of Renewable Fuel Standard volume requirements.

The standard, which mandates the amount of ethanol that must be used annually, has been seen as a driving force behind reduced corn supplies and higher prices for dairy cattle feed.

Dairy, livestock and food industry representatives, joined by more than 100 members of Congress and several state governors, have requested a tem-

Sexten said timing for cutting soybean plants for forage will be critical.

Leaves on the mature and dried soybean plant shatter and fall quickly.

Nothing but stems is left after maturity.

Wiebold said transition from what looks like a good crop and a dead crop can be just a few days.

The University of Missouri specialists agree on one thing. Making soybean hay isn’t easy. The favored way to harvest soybean plants is as highmoisture hay, wrapped in plastic. Balage makes high-quality forage with less leaf loss.

After using the new soybean spreadsheet, Kallenbach said there are some clear breaks. A yield above 10 bushels

thing, without checking crop coverage.”

Rob Kallenbach, University of Missouri forage specialist, said soybeans now have the potential for a feeding value equal to full-bloom alfalfa hay. Currently that hay sells for $200 per ton. High-quality alfalfa brings $300.

Wiebold said judging potential for soybean yield will be more difficult than for corn. “Corn makes one attempt at making an ear and that is over in a few days. The soybean keeps setting blossoms for 30 to 40 days, trying to make pods. A late rain can increase bean yields.

“A lot depends on who owns the soybean field and if they need forage,” Wiebold said.

All the specialists caution producers to read the label on any pesticide used on the soybean crop during the growing season. The most widely used soybean herbicide is glyphosate (RoundUp). It has a 14-day waiting period before harvest for forage. However, most herbicides require much longer periods between application and harvesting of soybeans for forage.

In his spreadsheet example posted on the University of Missouri AgEBB website, Horner used a value of $16 per bushel for soybeans and a value of $164 per dry matter ton of forage.

Soybeans that won’t make a seed crop offer potential high-quality forage for beef and dairy producers.

The decision to cut beans for hay won’t be easy, say University of Missouri Extension specialists.

“It will be difficult to tell when there is no potential for a seed crop,” said Bill Wiebold, University of Missouri soybean specialist.

“Waiting too late to cut soybeans for forage decreases feeding quality,” said Justin Sexten University of Missouri beef nutritionist.

Joe Horner, University of Missouri Extension economist, developed a spread sheet for producers to put in their own numbers to figure value for forage.

Horner said the cut-off for the transition from beans to forage is when yield drops below 10 bushels of soybeans per acre; and if forage provides one ton or more of quality dry matter per acre.

There is potential for tons of needed forage, Horner said. The Missouri crop condition report showed 3.7 million acres of the 5.3 million acres of soybeans planted this year rated poor or very poor as of July 29.

The first step on the way to hay, Horner said, is a visit with the crop insurance adjuster. “Don’t cut any-

Reitsma, the first Princess Kay to hail from Stearns County, will serve as the official goodwill ambassador for more than 4,000 Minnesota dairy farmers.

Christine is the daughter of Paul and Carolyn Reitsma of Sauk Centre, and will attend the University of Minnesota Twin Cities this fall studying applied economics.

County dairy princesses from throughout Minnesota competed for the Princess Kay of the Milky Way title.

Victoria Haler of Waconia, representing Carver County, and Kelsey Mussman of Claremont, representing Steele County, were selected as runners-up. Mussman was also named Miss Congeniality. Scholarships were awarded to Reitsma, Mussman and Laura Rosenhammer

of Sleepy Eye, representing Brown County.

One of Reitsma’s first duties as Princess Kay was to sit in a rotating cooler for about six hours on the opening day of the Minnesota State Fair to have her likeness sculpted in a 90-pound block of butter. Each of the other finalists also had or will have her likeness carved in butter during the fair.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

AgStar Financial Services, along with the Minnesota State Fair Foundation, celebrated the first official state fair use of AgStar Arena with a dedication celebration on Aug. 23. AgStar Arena is the newest agriculture building on the state fairgrounds and serves as an equine and livestock facility.

This ceremony marked the first official state fair use of the AgStar Arena, the 4H cow/calf show.

“We’re very excited to celebrate the dedication of AgStar Arena,” said Paul DeBriyn, president and CEO of AgStar Financial Services. “It is important to all of us at AgStar to support the Minnesota State Fair, FFA and 4-H, particularly in their efforts to bring agricultural opportunities to young people, and in encouraging youth to consider a career in this industry.”

AgStar Arena, a 27,000-square foot facility, was used during the State Fair by 4-H, FFA and State Fair open class exhibitors, complementing activities at the Lee and Rose Warner Coliseum and the Horse and Cattle Barns. It is also available for extended seasonal use for

“We have feed, we have ethanol and now we have rail which gives us rapid access to markets across America and overseas through three major railroad networks, the BNSF, the CP and the UP. This facility has three truck dumping pits. Time, especially during harvest, is always important so getting unloaded and back to your fields shouldn’t be an issue.”

UFC had total net earnings of $4.8 million last year which resulted in patronage refunds of $1.1 million (35 percent of earnings) to its members.

“We’ve benefited greatly from the pricing and productivity of agriculture in recent years and I believe there will be more ‘golden years’ ahead of us. World population keeps growing, food demand keeps growing especially among Third World countries. And despite the challenges of this drought-stressed year, I think American agriculture will keep responding with more productivity,” Lauwagie said.

Brad Berger, Gibbon/Fairfax-area farmer and UFC member attending the Aug. 20 open house said, “This is big. For the long term this certainly looks like the right move. I doubt there’ll be enough corn and soybeans to fill it up this fall, however. I’m sure they’ll have a better bid because of better rates they’ll be getting with this unit train capability.”

ADM reports this is one of the largest partnerships of this multi-national business corporation on a single site. “I think this terminal represents one of the highest capacity inland grain handling facilities in the country,” Nielsen said.

With perfect weather, the Aug. 20 open house at this new facility drew an estimated 3,000-plus people. They were treated to wagon tours of the entire complex plus barbecue pork chop sandwiches with all the trimmings. ❖

Rail expansion all in the name of efficiency, market access

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Another unit train (110 cars and 440,000 bushels) loading facility is about to start moving grain in Renville County, Minn.

Allen Baysinger This newest expansion is South Central Grain and Energy based in Fairfax, which is adding side-by-side rails west of their Buffalo Lake facility permitting this long-time farm cooperative to load out

110 rail cars in less than eight hours.

Allen Baysinger, grain origination manager at the Buffalo Lake terminal, said “we want to be able to access the Asian markets more readily and in the process give our producers the best outlet and the best price for their grain. This tandem rail setup which can accommodate 110 cars does just that.

“It’s cleaner, neater and faster. It takes some coordination but it will work out much more efficiently for us,” Baysinger said.

Because Asia has become such a

huge export market for U.S. corn and soybeans, unit train load-out facilities destined for Portland, Ore., has become a big part of total shipments of South Central Grain and Energy.

Baysinger said this year could be different. Yes, you guessed it, the rapidly shrinking U.S. corn production season is suggesting lots more Minnesota corn likely will be staying right here in the Midwest and deep South.

“With the crop problems we’re having in other parts of the country it looks like domestic movement may be bigger than Asian rim countries which we service out of the Pacific Northwest. And that means lots of corn and soybeans from here will move east and southeast for livestock and poultry needs. Plus several ethanol plants may be needing corn from more than their so-called local supply chain area,” Baysinger said.

He indicated most shipments from Buffalo Lake and Fairfax go to Chicago and beyond. However if barges can move, shipments down the Mississippi River might be more significant. Also local ethanol plants at Fairfax, Atwater, Granite Falls are heavy users of grains collected by SCGE facilities.

Purified Renewable Energy LLC, the new ethanol facility salvaged from the old Minnesota Energy plat at Buffalo Lake is again buying corn locally. The Buffalo Lake elevator in the early days of Minnesota Energy built an airdriven system that funneled corn from upright storage facilities literally across the railroad tracks to the ethanol plant. The newly rebuilt ethanol plant built its own corn storage facility so the co-op will no longer deliver via a pipeline conveyor system.

When asked if the U.S. grain market is now in a permanent stage of volatility — sudden ups and downs often within the same trading day — Baysinger thinks more than likely that is the new “look” of the U.S. grain industry.

“There is so much demand out there, not just domestically here in the United States but from several foreign countries, too. Plus the ethanol and livestock demand is also volatile and very definitely a major factor in the yoyo markets of today.”

He’s very much aware of the increasing competition for grain, especially in view of a shortened U.S. crop nationally, and more unit train facilities being built in Minnesota and elsewhere. “It means we’ll have to keep adapting to new systems, new trans-

portation hubs and new technologies out on the farm as well.

“Farmers are putting up tremendous amounts of on-farm storage these days so just because we’re the closest elevator doesn’t mean we’re handling their grain. With their fleets of two, three even four semi rigs of their own, they pretty much go wherever they want to go. So competitive bidding and fast, clean and efficient dumping is mighty important to our farmer customers.”

Will there be enough grain this fall to fill all this new storage now in place at both elevators and farms? That may be questionable in view of the growing season, however Baysinger suggests to not sell production agriculture short.

He noted the tremendous genetic advancements in yields and now the added protection of various traits. Plus he said farmers keep getting smarter and better at doing their job.

“I think we’ll see this crop getting bigger and bigger over the course of time. World markets and world populations in essence are demanding more production. And thanks to technology, if the market is ‘right’, our U.S. farmers gear up their capacity accordingly.

Cooperation from the weather is the big unknown,” Baysinger said.

Elevators do their part too. The Buffalo Lake facility is upgrading its station to be able to do 80,000 bushels per hour. That means meeting the time frame on the 110-car unit trains but also looking ahead to 120-car systems down the road. Since they didn’t have enough room to do the “loop complex” such as at a new facility in Brownton, Minn., (See Page 35A) the grain crew at Buffalo Lake will have to unhitch 15 to 18 cars from the 110-car unit, get those filled and parked on the second rail, then repeat the process with another batch of cars until all 110 cars are filled. Meanwhile the “power unit” that brought the 110 cars into Buffalo Lake sits until all 110 cars are ready to move. That’s why speed is of the essence. Delays over 12 hours, and demurrage charges up to $100 per car per day suddenly happen.

Already at about 6 million bushels total storage capacity at Buffalo Lake, the unit train loading capability may generate additional expansion of bunker storage. Besides its headquarter location at Fairfax, South Central Grain and Energy also has facilities at Hector, Gibbon, Buffalo Lake, Stewart, Darwin, Eden Valley and Cosmos.

These eight locations currently have over 14 million bushels total storage capacity. ❖

DNR COs begin task of tracking pheasant numbers other wildlife as well.

At sunrise, map and survey sheet in his lap, binoculars on the dash, Geving put the truck in gear and rolled along at a leisurely 15 miles an hour, looking for pheasants that had moved to the gravel road to escape the heavy dew.

During the 2011 surveys, Geving said only handful of pheasants were counted on the routes he drove, an outcome that wasn’t unexpected given the severity of

the previous winter and a cool, wet spring that hampered nesting.

But this year, after an exceedingly mild winter and a warm, relatively dry spring, there is optimism that pheasants might regain at least some of the ground they lost the previous year.

However, at least on this route, things weren’t too encouraging. In See CROSS, pg. 38A

And admittedly, this particular route was lined with row crops and many ditches that had been mowed — hardly optimum pheasant habitat.

But the route also ran along several Federal Waterfowl Production Areas and Wildlife Management Areas that had excellent cover.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

ou’ve probably wondered about it your Y entire life; maybe even lost sleep thinking about it.

the informational kiosk and you’re on Army Road.

It starts out straight as an arrow, with the “What is the most north-easterly point in first mile shooting right toward Wisconsin, but Iowa reachable by car?” soon enough you’ll be twisting and turning among the trees. There aren’t many pullouts, We’re here to help. and Army Road’s not too wide, so hopefully you First, by whatever means you’re comfortable don’t meet any wide loads. with, get to Allamakee County, then make your Slow down, be patient, and soon enough you’ll way to the city of New Albin (pop. 530) via hit the clearing at the end of the road — Highway 26. If you’re crossing over from the there’s plenty of room to pull your trailer Minnesota border, it should take you around around and back your fishing boat into the three or four seconds. slough.

Turn east at the community center, zig-zag Oh, yeah, don’t forget your boat. This is a around the bank, and in a couple of blocks pretty nice spot for bluegill, channel catfish, you’ll be overlooking the Mississippi River floodplain. Dip down past the parking lot at crappie, freshwater drum, large and small-

mouth bass, northern pike, sauger and walleye.

You could just bring your camping chair and put a line in from the dock, but you’ll probably want to get on the water — it’s just too pretty out there. (If you’re not into fishing, bring your canoe or kayak instead.)

And if you troll (or paddle) your way up the slough just a bit, you can also claim to have visited Minnesota’s most south-easterly point.

That’ll be a feather-in-the-cap to make your friends jealous. Sleep well.

Army Road ends in the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife & Fish Refuge.

Lime Spreading

“Have you checked your soil PH lately”

for questions or prices please call

R & E Enterprises of Mankato, Inc.

1-800-388-3320

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

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.
