paid their top dog.

The HSUS, the well-funded ($100 million annual budget), big (11 million members), rich ($200 million in assets) animal welfare group paid its CEO, Wayne Pacelle, $234,026.

The NCBA, however, with one-tenth of one percent of HSUS membership, one-tenth of its savings, and a non-checkoff connected budget far under $10 million, paid its top hand, Forrest Roberts, $336,584 in salary and $19,942 “other compensation” in 2009.

See what I mean about numbers being forks and knives of journalism.

Well, at least knives.

Alan Guebert’s “Farm and Food File” is published weekly in more than 70 newspapers in North America. Contact him at agcomm@farmandfoodfile.com. ❖

And that’s a number “considerably larger than the number of stars in the universe,” noted McKibben.

Iowans are making a dent in this carbon-fueled problem; 20 percent of all electricity generated in the Hawkeye State comes courtesy of wind. According to numbers released by the Iowa Wind Energy Association, clean, free wind also generates 7,000 jobs statewide and nearly $15 million in annual lease payments to local farmers.

All could be blown away by politics because continued expansion of the green technology turns almost entirely on federal tax credits that expire two months after the presidential election.

That means that wind — rather than hot air — could be the deciding factor in who wins Iowa, a swing state, in November and maybe the election because one, the President, favors extending the wind credits the other, Mitt, wants ended.

More numbers?

Recently, while sifting through tax return material for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and the Humane Society of the United States, one figure in each group’s 2009 IRS Form 990 leapt from the page: what each

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 7, 2012 “Where Farm and Family Meet”

We have long proclaimed, and make no apology for, our deep love affair with numbers.

Since figures backstop fact, numbers are the meat and potatoes and forks and knives of journalism. They are, in a word, beautiful, and, like true beauty, they can take your FARM & FOOD FILE breath away.

By Alan Guebert For example, in the faint light of early Aug. 10, my daily newspaper reported that Tom Laughlin would mark his 81st birthday that day.

Get out of here, Billy Jack is 81?

Good grief, that makes me ... well, a lot older than we all were when, in 1971, Laughlin, playing Billy Jack on film, used his bare feet to kick the tar out of bad guys and the bigotry out of injustice, two items that never seem to age.

Nor does money in politics. In mid-August, Politico Daybook, a daily e-mail newsletter on all things political, ran a short item that illustrated the tiny impact one citizen with a skinny checkbook has on politics today compared with modern fat cats.

Recently, a librarian in Lexington, Ky., after writing a $100 check to the Obama reelection campaign, said she thought her $100 had “just as much worth” as the million-dollar checks now being tossed into the estimated, $1 billion presidential campaign.

Hah, snorted Politico.

In fact, “It would take 100,000 (of you) — nearly all the registered Democrats in Lexington — giving $100 apiece just to match the $10 million that casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson and his wife dropped into the super PAC boosting (Republican presidential nominee, Mitt) Romney in a single day in June.”

But the $10 million man only gets one vote, right?

No one has felt this summer’s heat and drought more than America’s farmers and ranchers. The devastation caused by both won’t be known until after this year’s baked and broiled crops are harvested.

We do, however, have some initial numbers on just how hot this summer was.

For instance, according to weather watchers, June’s temperatures broke or tied 3,215 record highs across the nation, and that oven of a month followed the warmest May ever for the Northern Hemisphere.

May, in fact, was the 327th consecutive month — that’s over 27 years of months — that the earth’s average temperature topped the 20th century’s average temperature.

Even more incredible, wrote Bill McKibben in a mid-July piece that included the above information, is that the “odds of ... simple chance” where this redhot record might occur in nature are 1 in 3.7 x 10 to the 99th.

A new farm bill will have to wait 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.

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 Reagan who also suggested the problem with socialism is that you soon run out of other people’s money.

Debbie provided the background

Leonard and four of his sons — Dennis, Duane, David and Darrell later formed Bruns Farms Inc. Through the years, the herd grew significantly, and they expanded the milk parlor to a 16stall herringbone in 1980.

In 1975, Leonard and Mildred were among the first group of sugar beet growers that helped form Southern Minnesota Beet Sugar Cooperative in Renville of which Leonard was a founding member on the first board of directors.

Leonard passed away in 1996.

Today, brothers Duane Bruns, David Bruns and Darrell Bruns farm 2,300 acres of corn, soybeans, sugar beets and alfalfa, as well as milking 320

cows three times daily.

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.

He made it out of two heavy equipment rubber tracks hooked together and filled it with sand and all the necessities. That’s how a construction guy thinks, and his grandson had a great time there.

After dark, we all hung around the fire pit with the back yard all lit up, enjoying the company and wishing the night wasn’t going by so quickly.

The younger Arkansas girl (age 10) was having a great time on the backyard tire swing even as daylight fell into darkness. Apparently she felt loved by many and perhaps even thought of her grandpa (now in heaven), because she called my brother (her uncle) “Grandpa Jerry” as he continued to push her on the swing. He just grinned and laughed quietly.

You can’t pick your family, but you gotta love kids who say what’s in their hearts in their own simple way. The world would be a better place if we could all do that ... and if we could all see loader tractors as handy backyard barbecue accessories, as my farmer brother did.

New pork ambassador brings passion for swine industry

By KEVIN SCHULZ The Land Editor Sarah Marketon is passionate about the swine industry, and agriculture in general.

“I just want to tell the agriculture Sarah Marketon story,” she said outside the Swine Building on the first day of the Minnesota State Fair. “I want to help people understand what farmers do and why they do it. I want to help people trust farmers. … give them a better understanding of where their food comes from.”

Marketon of Howard Lake, Minn., is

the newest voice for Minnesota’s pork producers as the recently named Pork Ambassador. Other than serving pork chops at an open house for Munson Feeds in Howard Lake, working at the State Fair was her first assignment as the state’s pork ambassador.

Her timing could have been a little better. A few days prior to the start of the State Fair it was revealed that a swine flu virus was present in the state’s swine herd. This revelation stirred debate whether or not hogs would or should be welcomed on the fairgrounds.

Pigs were allowed to come to the fair, and Marketon said the swine flu virus scare didn’t appear to be keeping the

crowds away from the Swine Barn to see the resident sow and piglets and the show hogs. “Surprisingly, I haven’t heard much from people about the swine flu,” she said late afternoon of the first day of the fair. She wasn’t expecting the flu virus to be a problem, if people only followed the simple rules posted at the barn’s entrance.

“Direct contact with an infected pig is the way you get this virus,” she said.

According to a report by Minnesota Public Radio News, state health officials suspect that three visitors to the State Fair caught H1N2, a variation of swine flu. Minnesota Department of Health warnings had been posted around the Swine Barn in response to

H3N2, another swine flu variation that has been linked to illnesses in 300 people across the country.

Marketon was ready for whatever questions came her way from fairgoers. She actually had a primer, having worked the Miracle of Birth Center at past State Fairs. “That’s where I developed my passion to tell the ag story,” she said. “People are so curious.”

That curiosity lead Marketon to develop her winning essay for the pork ambassador competition, “Pigs Have Puppies?” “This one lady came up to me at the Miracle of Birth Center and she asked when the pig was going to See AMBASSADOR, pg. 9A

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.

For Over 51 Years

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 her likeness carved in butter during the fair.

This year marked butter sculptor Linda Christensen’s 41st year carving the Princess Kay of the Milky Way winner and finalists at the Minnesota State Fair.

Cover story: Nitrates may be an issue in corn silage

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 7, 2012

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 poten-

tial 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.”

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 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 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 silage-specific 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.”

Alvaro Garcia, South Dakota State University Extension dairy specialist, 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.

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.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

NITRATES, from pg. 10A 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.” ❖

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

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

Ways to improve safety include ...

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

• Ensuring an approved cab or rollover protective structure 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.

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.

Investment in U of M, agriculture need to go hand-in-hand

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 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 Economics; Mike White, head of the Department of Animal Science; and Ira Muscovice, director of the

“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 See U OF M, pg. 15A

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 John Mages state and nationally.

At least that’s the impression of 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 Secretary 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.”

Cash butter closed the week at $1.84, up 4 cents but still 16.5 cents below a year ago when it fell almost 9 cents and began a descent that shaved 33 cents off the price before rebounding in early October. Six cars of butter traded hands this week and the AMS butter price averaged $1.7576, up 4.2 cents.

Churning activities across the country are mixed depending on cream availability and price, according to the USDA. Students are returning to classrooms, thus school milk bottling schedules are resuming. Standardized cream volumes from increasing bottling schedules are becoming available for cream needs. Class II cream demand remains steady, although typically Class II needs will ease, especially for ice cream, once the Labor Day holiday has passed.

Churning is often not keeping pace with demand, thus inventoried stock is being used. Butter producers that are taking advantage of additional cream offerings and generating butter beyond current needs are clearing the extra production to inventory and “holding those stocks with confidence,” the USDA said.

Retail orders are often outpacing food service needs as many foodservice buyers are cutting back as the summer vacation season winds down. Foodservice buyers, especially in resort and vacation areas, indicate that traffic flow through their operations is slowing, but will hopefully remain fairly stable at least through the Labor Day holiday weekend.

Dairy Market News warns that milk supplies across the United States are short of expected levels due to the recent hot weather and higher feed costs. California production has leveled off, but remains short of full processing needs. Midwest milk volumes have increased with cooler temperatures.

Eastern supplies are still tight.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed Friday at $1.70, up 3.5 cents on the week, and Extra Grade held all week at $1.6250. AMS powder averaged $1.2955, up 3.8 cents, and dry whey inched 0.8 cent higher, to 54.76 cents/lb.

Drought-damaged soybeans can make cattle feed 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 anything, without checking crop coverage.”

Rob Kallenbach, University of Missouri forage specialist, said soybeans now have the potential for a feed-

ing 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.

Sexten said timing for cutting soybean plants for forage will be critical. Leaves on the mature and

“Hopefully, the change in season will bring better news,” Natzke said. “Schools will be back in session, and that means more demand for fluid milk for student lunches and feeding programs, and cheese demand has also been picking up.”

He pointed to rising milk prices but admitted they’re still well below last year’s price levels but

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 high-moisture 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 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.”

Horner’s soybean spreadsheet can be found listed under “Silage” at www.agebb.missouri.edu/dairy/feed.

should continue to rise through the end of the year.

The question, of course, is whether the higher milk prices can keep pace with rising feed costs.

“Longer term, there’s another positive sign,” Natzke said. “Dairy product manufacturers are investing in new and upgraded processing plants.

Industry analysts estimate U.S. dairy product manufacturers will invest $2.2 billion over the next couple of years, with more than 75 major capital projects expected to be under way before June 2014.

“Additional and more efficient capacity should lead to more demand for milk, a welcome sign for dairy farmers in any season,” he said.

He reminded listeners that the current bill expires Sept. 30, leaving dairy programs such as the Milk Income Loss Contract, in limbo.

Retreat, retreat: Hogs, cattle slip

Info overload fatigues market

Editor’s Note: Tim Emslie, Country Hedging market analyst, is sitting in this week for Phyllis Nystrom, the regular “Grain Outlook” columnist.

■ This column is written for the marketing week ending Aug. 31.

CORN — This week marked the end of the 2011-12 corn marketing year. The nearby corn price started the just-completed marketing year at on a high note at $7.56 1/2, but quickly fell into a $6 to $6.50 range for most of seven months.

Both the high and the low were TIM EMSLIE set in the fourth quarter as the Country Hedging focus turned to new-crop St. Paul prospects. The low was set in June at $5.51, while the high was set in the final month at $8.43 3/4. Final stocks will be known on Sept. 28 when the U.S. Department of Agriculture releases its quarter stocks numbers, but as of the August estimates, total U.S. corn usage declined by over 500 million bushels.

Much of that reduction was due to the record prices in the fourth quarter as the marketplace began to address the effects of the 2012 drought.

Turning to the new-crop situation, weather issues continue for the beleaguered 2012 corn crop. Temperatures heated up again in the western Corn Belt, but it’s too late in the season for much further damage from drought.

Raising the most concern on the weather front were the forecasts for Hurricane Isaac that showed excessive rainfall headed for Illinois and Indiana. Heavy

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 JOE TEALE cutouts moved above the Broker $190/cwt. basis choice met consid- Great Plains Commodity erable resistance from the domesAfton, Minn. tic retailer and the export market.

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 cat-

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 attenTOM NEHER tion.

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?

completed 2011-12 marketing year, starting out high, dipping into the harvest/post-harvest period, and then rallying on new-crop weather concerns.

MARKETING

As of the last Crop Progress report, the national good/excellent rating slipped another point to a new low of 22 percent. Harvest progress hit 6 percent compared to 2 percent on average.

Weekly ethanol production slipped back slightly to 819,000 barrels per day from 823,000 the previous week. Ethanol stocks were unchanged from the previous week. Official June ethanol production was reported at 1.118 billion gallons, down 1.6 percent from the previous June.

Weekly export sales remain flat at 134,000 metric tons (marketing years combined). The combination of almost no export demand and Hurricane Isaac weighed on Gulf cash markets.

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

OUTLOOK: Corn corrected lower early this week, trading below $8 in the December contract for the first time since Aug. 16. December corn settled just shy of $8 at $7.99 3/4, down 8.75 cents for the week.

The corn has gravitated near the $8 mark for seven weeks now. There is certainly some rationing going on in the more visible ethanol and export sectors, but prices will remain well-supported considering that the marketing year has just begun.

Harvest results will dictate prices, but I think the national yield is more likely to slip further. The next USDA report is on Sept. 12.

The biggest difference was that the weather rally started earlier in soybeans because the first adverse weather of 2012 hit in South America. The front month price started last September at $14.39, made a low of $10.94 in December, and made its high in August of $17.81.

After a more moderate temperature pattern for much of August, heat slipped back into the western belt this week. Soybeans rated good/excellent slipped one point to 30 percent good/excellent, the first decline in about a month. A rapid finish to pod-filling probably isn’t helping yields in parts of Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota and Iowa.

In the east, additional rainfall is still helping yields, although the hurricane is bringing flooding to parts of the Delta. Harvest in the Delta will see some delay due to the flooding from the Hurricane. As of the most recent Crop Progress report, Louisiana was 18 percent done with soybean harvest. Gulf soybean basis was weak this week, losing 20 cents week over week.

Weekly export sales remained robust at a combined 732,000 mt. A daily sales announcement on

Tuesday showed another 110,000 mt sold to China.

Monthly biodiesel production data out this week showed July production at 108 million gallons. That is near the consistent pace that has been in place since spring.

OUTLOOK: November soybeans hit a new contract high on Thursday, and gained 25 cents for the week.

The export pace suggests that higher prices are needed to ration what supplies are available.

The market is waiting to see if the late rainfall can improve the national yield, which may keep the market away from new highs until the Sept. 12 report can be evaluated.

In other markets: The second revision of second quarter GDP showed output rising at a 1.7 percent pace, up from the initial estimate of 1.5 percent.

Weekly jobless claims were unchanged from the prior week’s revised number of 374,000. Consumer spending rose 0.4 percent for July, up from flat spending month-on-month in June.

For the week, the S&P 500 fell just 0.3 percent and crude oil was up 0.32 to 96.47 thanks to a Friday rally of nearly $2. The U.S. dollar index was down 0.417 to 81.200. In the wheat markets, Minneapolis was up 13.25 cents, Kansas City was up 4.5 cents and Chicago was up 2.5 cents. ❖

Technically hogs oversold, close to a low TEALE, from pg. 21A tle 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 opposite direction at some point.

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. ❖

Pattern presents a dry year for 2013 NEHER, from pg. 21A 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 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.

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.

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. ❖

tion. 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. ❖

eral foreign countries, too. Plus the ethanol and livestock demand is also volatile and very definitely a major factor in the yo-yo 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 transportation 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 produc-

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.

This newest expansion is South Central Grain and Energy based in Fairfax, which is adding side-by- Allen Baysinger 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 socalled 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 air-driven 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 sev-

United Grain Systems in Brownton, Minn., boasts one of the largest grain storage facilities in America. years before this new location identified as United Grain Systems fits into the marketing decisions of area grain producers?

“If I had a crystal ball I’d gladly share the answer. The challenge got a bit bigger after our board, which initially approved a 4.3-million-bushel grain handling facility, last March decided to add an additional 3 million bushels of storage,” Nielsen said.

“Because this facility has the capability of dumping 500 to 600 trucks per 24-hour day we did not want to run the risk of filling up in just a couple weeks.

So our board agreed on an even bigger facility to accommodate deliveries over a longer harvest time frame.

“Yes, I will be pleasantly surprised if we do fill up this year. However clearly the market right now with $8 corn is screaming ‘get rid of it.’ So both market conditions and quality of the crop when combines start running will be key drivers on the volume we will be handling.”

He shared the flip side, suggesting they’d look a bit foolish running like crazy to get this facility built and suddenly they were turning people away because it was full.

He credits his board for being visionary about expanding their initial plans into a significantly larger facility.

Nielsen indicated that because agriculture today has become such an aggressive industry, especially in the Upper Midwest, wisdom suggests always build for the future.

With the new identity as United Grain Systems, a partnership of Archer Daniel Midland and UFC,

Nielsen is pleased with the seamless transition when ADM came on board.

When asked if this has been a good marriage, he said, “I’ve been in this business for 27 years now. I’ve been involved in various partnerships. ADM has absolutely exceeded our expectations in every way as a new partner.

They have done everything they said they would do. They are extremely conscientious about wanting us to run this new operation.

“The resources they bring into this partnership are huge whether it be access to markets, their expertise in movement of volumes of grain, access to capital, etc. We’re feeling very good about this entire business package.”

UFC Board Chairman Kevin Lauwagie said, “this new complex very well prepares us for the future. We don’t know details of the future of agriculture but we do know change will always be with us. We as a farm cooperative need to be in a position to adapt to this future. There’s no perfect scenario out there but we feel confident this was the thing to do.

“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 See STORAGE, pg. 3B

Unit-train facilities built for speed

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. ❖

The delegates, consisting of renowned chefs in the Chinese food industry, were participating in a tour sponsored by the U.S. Meat Export Federation and Minnesota Soybean.

The delegation received the chance to use their hands and taste buds in the main kitchen. Botcher opened the doors wide and explained every portion of the kitchen. He then started pulling samples for the group. The chefs enjoyed tasting pork chops, ham and salami.

Many took the chance to assist in making sausage for the day’s meals.

With a growing population of around 1.3 billion, China relies on U.S. imports to feed their nation.

China is the largest importer of U.S. agricultural goods, purchasing $20 billion worth in 2011.

Lime Spreading

“Have you checked your soil PH lately”

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.
