According to Chicago legend, a tombstone somewhere in the city reads: “John Smith, Born 1934, Died 1981, Voted 1984, 1988, 1992”. What makes the joke funny, of course, is its resemblance to the truth. Chicago’s well-deserved reputation for election shenanigans is just that, well deserved. FARM & FOOD FILE Despite that legacy, cattle By Alan Guebert cannot vote in either Chicago or Illinois. In Ohio, however, they will on Sept. 24-26 when a statewide referendum will ask Buckeye cattle growers to double the current $1-per-head beef checkoff. Under the federal, non-refundable beef checkoff, 50 cents of every dollar underwrites national beef promotion and research. The other 50 cents is controlled by state beef councils. If Ohio beef and dairy producers approve the referendum, the second dollar — which will raise an estimated $1.1 million per year, or three times the state’s current take — will be controlled entirely by the Ohio Beef Council. The second dollar, though, will be refundable upon request. For the referendum to pass, however, explains Elizabeth Harsh, executive director of the Ohio Beef Council, it must be approved by two-thirds of those voting who also represent 51 percent of the cattle voting. Yep, two-thirds of all voters holding 51 percent of the cattle voting must approve the referendum for Ohio to collect the second dollar. That seems like a tall fence but in reality, says Dave Hutchins, an Ohio member of Buckeye Quality Beef and R-CALF, a Montana-based beef group, it’s easy to do both without breaking stride. The key is that anyone who was nicked by the $1 federal checkoff in the last year can vote. That means any 9-year-old or 16-year-old or 60year-old that sold one or 1,000 head of cows, calves or canners and paid the checkoff is eligible to vote. It also means that the two-thirds majority of humans needed to double the checkoff is easily manipulated by, say, a school bus of farm kids showing up to vote at any polling site in the state — the Department of Agriculture near Columbus, Ohio State University county Extension offices or the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association state office. That’s right; Ohio cowboys or cow-kids can vote to double their state’s beef checkoff at the office of the state affiliate of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, the checkoff’s chief hired hand. But don’t worry if that appears like a Chicagoan walking into President Obama’s Windy City re-election headquarters to cast a presidential vote because, as state exec Harsh quickly explains, “It’s the law in Ohio.” And you can vote by mail, also, on a photocopied ballot from, say, a neighbor or maybe even from a state cattle organization that stands to materially

tutional amendment. • This amendment only promotes big government. Republicans believe in limited government, personal responsibility, freedom and liberty. This constitutional amendment denies the freedom to marry to a certain group of Minnesotans. Do we want a government that tells individuals how we should live our lives? It is simply too much government intrusion in our lives. • Depriving anyone of their freedom is not the Minnesotan — or American — way. Marriage is a fundamental freedom — and in the United States of America, freedom means freedom for everybody — and the role of our Constitution is to protect freedoms, not take them away. We should keep the Golden Rule in mind, and treat others as we would want to be treated ourselves. None of us would allow our own personal liberties to be limited, so why would we insist on doing so to others? • This amendment interferes with religious freedom in Minnesota. It is not the government’s role to dictate a religious belief. Yet this amendment mixes religion and politics in our constitution, denigrating people of faith. It imposes a “one-size-fits-all” government mandate that limits religious freedom. It places a constitutional restriction on the freedom of clergy members to solemnize certain marriages, and prohibits religious authorities from performing marriages as full and equal marriages under the law, even if such marriages have equal status as a matter of their religious conscience. At the same time, this amendment fails to include any protection for religious freedom. • Limiting marriage undermines family values. Republicans believe in freedom and family values, and we encourage our fellow citizens to hold themselves
to high standards of personal conduct. Everyone needs a family, and nothing says family in our society the way marriage does. This amendment undermines family values by limiting the powerful societal role that marriage plays. • This amendment offers no solutions, and represents wrong priorities. This amendment does not accord with the values of Republicans, neither enhancing liberty nor restraining government. It is contrary to the strong moral values of commitment and responsibility needed in all families. It doesn’t create any jobs, nor does it strengthen any current or future families. Imposing one’s personal will on future generations via this constitutional amendment is a dangerous and unnecessary approach to governing. • Marriage is about love, commitment and responsibility. These basic principles belong to everybody and should not be denied to some people. None of us would want to be told that it is illegal to marry the person we love. We should encourage people to take care of themselves and their loved ones, and not rely on the government. Marriage encourages self-reliance, independence and strong families. Minnesotans United for All Families is the official statewide campaign working to defeat the constitutional amendment that would ban marriage for same-sex couples. Minnesotans United — online at www.mnunited.org — is a broad, diverse coalition that has come together around the issue of fairness. The coalition includes faith, labor, progressive and nonpartisan organizations, communities of color, current and former elected officials, Republicans, DFLers, Greens, Libertarians and Independents.

To the Editor: My grandmother graduated from teachers college and then returned to college to earn a nursing degree. She worked as a nurse practitioner alongside the doctor as life and death decisions were regularly made. She earned the respect of her co-workers and community.

I take pride in the Minnesota legacy of high voter turnout and clean, fair elections. I learned from my grandmother to base decisions on facts, not fears, and that the devil is often in the details. The proposed Photo ID Amendment has no details on how it is to be implemented, how much it will cost and who will be paying these costs. The fact is that it will affect thousands of legitimate voters in a scramble to obtain government sanctioned photo IDs. It will affect absentee voters. And the sad reality is that senior women will be the most affected, as they may be required to provide not only their birth certificates, but their marriage licenses as well, documents from a time prior to digital records. Why are we even proposing a costly expansion of government into a historically effective voting system? I am told because there could be voter ID fraud. There has never been even one case of voter ID fraud in Minnesota, but it could happen. I am taking the advice of grandpa — don’t be wasting time and money on stuff that could happen; invest time and money in fixing the stuff that is happening. Good advice and why I am voting no on the Photo ID Amendment. Margaret Connolly Ramsey, Minn.

Commentary: Treating soil like dirt will bankrupt us Scientific studies and on-the-farm experience suggest that just a 10-percent increase in diverse crop rotations, grasses and other perennial plant systems can be enough to meaningfully improve the safety of the water, reduce flood potential, restore wildlife habitat and stimulate a thriving local and regional foods economy. This is especially true if we can target fields that are particularly sensitive to problems like erosion. But what about the rest of our landscape — those row-cropped areas that may not be especially vulnerable to erosion and other forms of environmental degradation? Are we accepting that the rest of the landscape is some sort of sacrifice zone, an area that will be pushed to produce maximum yields no matter what the long-term impacts are? No. Carrying such a strategy to the extreme threatens to create a landscape where acres that have been targeted for conservation are islands awash in a sea of dead soils. Eventually, the environmental degradation on those intensively farmed soils will creep into even the most sustainably managed area, wiping out the positive impacts of all that targeted conservation.

Hence, female farmers, in many instances, cannot reach their growth potential as producers of food. For example, Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., estimates that 43,000 women farmers have been denied more than $4.6 billion in farm loans and loan servicing from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In an attempt to rectify this situation, DeLauro introduced the 2009 “Equity for Women Farmer’s Act,” which unfortunately died before it became law. This lack of access to funding and government programs is reflected in the 2007 census data, which had the average male-dominated farm sized at 410 acres with sales of $152,000 per year. By comparison, the average size of a female-operated farm was 210 acres with sales of only $36,000 annually. Also telling is the fact that the states with the lowest number of female farmers, all with less than 10 percent of the total, were North Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota and Iowa. Farming in these states tends to be dominated by capital-intensive grain and oilseed production with extensive property holdings and costly machinery. The USDA recognizes this inequality and has established the Women Outreach Program under the Farm Service Agency. Even more impressive is the effort by practicing women farmers to take matters into their own hands. Many, if not most states, have a women’s farmer movement, such as the Women’s Agricultural Network, a collaborative effort with the University of Vermont, or the Michigan-based Women’s Agricul-

your life depends on it
Farm equipment is large and heavy, making it hard for operators to accelerate, slow down and stop. The machines also make wide turns and sometimes cross over the center line. In addition, farm vehicles can create large blind spots, making it difficult for operators to see approaching vehicles. All of these factors can cause serious crashes. During 2009-11, there were 409 traffic crashes on Minnesota roads involving at least one farm vehicle, resulting in 18 fatalities and 229 injuries. Of the 18 fatalities, seven were farm vehicle riders; of the 229 injuries, 69 were farm vehicle riders, according to the Department of Public Safety. “The leading contributing crash factors in farm equipment-vehicle crashes are inattention, speeding and unsafe passing,” Groth said. “When approaching farm equipment, motorists should slow down and use extreme caution.” Motorists should ... • Watch for debris dropped by trucks hauling sugar beets and other crops.

Freeman: 4-H builds problem-solving skills ban areas are the bulk of 4-H clubs across Minnesota, Freeman said that 4-H is a growing entity among urban communities. Urban youth are even getting involved in 4-H livestock programs. This involves a generous farmer who is willing to “lease” a dairy heifer, or a beef steer, or a pen of pigs, to an urban student who commutes to that farm weekly for a training session with his/her particular livestock project. When it’s fair time, that youngster, with help from his host farmer, transports his/her livestock project. Freeman sees tremendous value in this livestock leasing program simply because it exposes urban youngsters to the great diversity of agriculture, and the expanding job opportunities in agriculture. Relating to the growing disconnect of young people with American agriculture
and food production, Freeman sees 4-H playing a significant role in keeping younger American’s better informed. “Project activity not only teaches them about the actual growth and production of agriculture, but teaches them great leadership skills in the process,” she said. “And when this leadership translates to service to your community, then you know that your youth development programs are indeed cutting a wide swath about a better America for everyone.” Taking their knowledge beyond themselves is what 4-H is all about, Freeman said. The 4-H pledge of using your heart, head, hands and health to help your club, your family, your community, your country and your world is the all-encompassing mandate. ❖

Bauck brothers ‘custom show’ sheep at fair By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Known as the “Home of the Big Bucks,” Dew Drop Farms of New York Mills, Minn., is a long-time exhibitor at the Minnesota State Fair. Because Dew Drop brothers Darin and Duane Bauck are such experienced veterans at prepping and showing sheep, other sheep producers hire the Baucks to “custom show” their own sheep at the fair. Darin Bauck said his family has exhibited at the Minnesota State Fair for nearly 60 years. Dew Drop Farms run five breeds, showing Corriedales, Suffolk and Rambouillet the first half of the 12day fair. Polled Dorsets and Hampshire
are part of the second half agenda. Why more than one breed? “Basically to give us more diversity in the market, whether that be fairs and shows or simply different auctions where sheep are the main item,” Bauck said. “Some person might want more quality wool so we have the Rambouillet; some want more meat and go for the Dorset breed.” Last year was a big money year for sheep men. “We got as high as $2 a pound for fat lambs; that same lamb is about $1 to $1.05 right now. But even with these lower prices now, if you do things right you can still make money if you put them on grass and find other ways to avoid lots of purchased feeds. Our sheep are forage and grain based,”

Some person might want more quality wool so we have the Rambouillet; some want more meat and go for the Dorset breed. — Darin Bauck Bauck said. They grow their own forage, their own corn and oats which leaves only the supplements as purchased products. They sell rams to the commercial people seeking bigger lambs. Big prices prompted lots more interest, and actual numbers in the sheep business; the net result is today’s lower prices. A domestic and world economy stuck in neutral keeps the lid on market consumption as well. “But now is when sheep people ought to be getting production back up because they can buy breeding stock cheaper,” he said. They average about 1.5 lambs per ewe among their various breeds. Perhaps because they are in the breeding business, Bauck said that one good lamb is worth more than two bad lambs. “In the seedstock business, one nice big single is better than two average-size twins.” They lamb out between 120 to 130 ewes each year, with a SeptemberOctober lambing season for the majority and a few also in January. That early fall lambing gives them another market opportunity. “Those lambs are ready for the Easter market,” he said. Despite booming prices of 2011, Bauck sees sheep and lamb numbers
continuing a slow decline across America, with escalating land prices and feed costs as primary reasons. “Unless you get a farm handed to you, you just can’t step in and buy a farm at these prices and make it cash flow.” “My friends come to the State Fair and see us in the show ring and say, ‘oh that looks easy’. But they don’t know about the banding, tagging, clipping, shearing. It’s a long process getting animals ready for any show and these friends don’t see the ‘down side’ of this custom fitting and showing business that we’ve developed. “When you have an animal die you ask yourself, ‘why did I put myself into this?’ But obviously winning in the show ring is a special kick. We wouldn’t be doing this if it wasn’t rewarding.” Bauck’s advice to people thinking about getting into the sheep business: start small. He suggests starting with only 50 to 100 ewes on the commercial side; on the purebred size be a good listener before you do anything. “Go to a few auction sales,” Bauck said. “Watch and listen. Eavesdrop is perhaps the word, much like going to the local coffee shop.” He does sell a few breeding animals just for 4-H or FFA youth, and he tries to offer a better price than the market price just to help them out. He even offers bred ewes so younger beginners can avoid the expense of a breeding ram. Looking at raw global numbers, China has the greatest number of sheep. However according to the Food & Agricultural Organization of the United Nations, the top five “indigenous sheep meat producing” countries are Australia, New Zealand, Iran, United Kingdom and Turkey. ❖

More than just cute, goats are dairy dynamos
Dick Hagen
Jackie Beverly and her family have been involved in the dairy goat business for eight years, now showing in the open, 4-H and FFA classes at the Minnesota State Fair. Here she is shown with her prized dairy goat, Houchy.
Patch of Heaven also sells breeding stock and the State Fair is an excellent showcase. Beverlys exhibit in the open category, and their children are in both the 4-H and FFA shows. “You run short on sleep,” she said, “but it truly is a fun experience. And we generally get enough ribbons to buy some hay. We kind of make the State Fair our vacation. Plus it’s just a good learning experience for our daughters. They make lasting friendships, as do we. Lots of extra work but the good things far outweigh the negatives.” The various dairy goat breeds at this year’s Minnesota State Fair included Alpine, LaMancha, Nigerian Dwarf, Nubian, Oberhasli, Saanen, Sable and
Toggenburg. Goat milk runs about 3 percent protein, much the same as cow milk. Human milk is 1.1 percent protein. Goat milk is 3.8 percent fat versus 3.6 percent for dairy cows and 4 percent for human milk. Dairy goat milk is also rich in riboflavin. A typical dairy goat lactation lasts about 295 days and daily milk production can be as high as eight to nine pounds in the early lactation stage. ❖

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer For a delightfully “baaaad” Minnesota State Fair experience, a visit to the goat barn to view judging of the dairy goats was indeed a treat. There was considerable commotion because goats are indeed lively critters. The most common comment from onlookers was “They’re so cute!” There are a lots of goats in the world — in fact a goat judge at the fair said that unofficially the goat is the most popular domesticated animal on Earth. The creature dates back to early Biblical times when the goat was the common burnt offering to the Lord. Over 100 different breeds of goats have been identified with 12 different dairy goat breeds exhibited at the Minnesota State Fair. If you live reasonably close to a neighborhood of Hispanic, We had some Asian or Middle East space, did families you likely some studying have a ready market for goat dairy prodabout goats, ucts (milk, cheese, and with our curds) and live goats. own children Patch of Heaven we decided to dairy goat farm at get into the Forest Lake, Minn., dairy goat busiwas one of several ness. goat exhibitors at this year’s fair. Jackie — Jackie Beverly Beverly shared a few minutes with The Land before the next round of judging, which included two goats from their LaMancha and Saanen breed herd. Eight years into the dairy goat business, Beverly said it is indeed a family occupation with two daughters showing both in 4-H and FFA competition at the Minnesota State Fair. “We moved from the city out to the country about 12 years ago,” she said. “We had some space, did some studying about goats, and with our own children we decided to get into the dairy goat business.” They sell goat milk, and produce an all-natural goat milk soap. “Being relatively close to the Twin Cities is a marketing plus, but you have to meet the Minnesota guidelines for selling your milk,” Beverly said. Their flock starts kidding (giving birth) in early January which, she said, makes the kids a little more mature for showing at county and state competitions. This year three different does birthed triplets; five and even six kids can happen. Dairy goats are quite prolific. Birth weights vary, with the larger Saanen breed producing larger kids. “Theirs can weigh as much as 10 to 12 pounds, whereas the LaMancha kids are five to seven pounds. Milk production also varies from individual to individual doe. We have one doe that milks almost two gallons a day.”

Tractor-powered treats at home at the State Fair By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer A popular attraction at the corner of Randall Street and Underwood Avenue at the Minnesota State Fair was the home-made ice cream booth powered by a pair of 1937 one-cylinder John Deere poppers. The display claimed an output of “5 gallons in 18 minutes.” Many old-time readers of The Land can relate to hand-cranking ice cream freezers with chopped ice stuffed around the outer perimeter of that little steel tub, and the satisfaction of just one gallon of ice cream after what John Turner seemed like at least an hour of cranking. John Turner is the guy running this most unusual food stand. He’s from years into the home-made ice cream Sanford, N.C., with a noticeable business in his native territory of “southern twang” to his voice. Now 18 North Carolina and Virginia, Turner

has been at the Minnesota State Fair for the past five years. He speaks of his JD tractors as his “hit and miss” rigs because of the unique sound of these old machines. “About 20 years ago I saw a guy with his one-cylinder tractor hooked up to a single freezer unit. We took the idea and expanded it with a 3-hp John Deere hooked up to two freezers,” Turner said. How do you get two belts driving two ice cream freezers from a single power source? “I split the drive system with two clutches,” he said. “These little tractors are amazingly durable. They sit
here put-put-putting away for 10 to 12 hours every day here at the State Fair.” In the old days, vanilla was the only flavor. But not so at Turner’s John Deere-powered setup at the State Fair. Strawberry, peaches and cream, chocolate, even cookie-flavored ice creams were on the menu. The cost was $4 for a “double dip” serving in a cone or dish. Turner said he started out using White Mountain freezers but now uses Amish-made freezers made in Ohio. He has 10 of these freezers and 12 of the one-cylinder John Deere tractors back on his farm in North Carolina. ❖

AgStar Financial Services announced the winners of the Purple Ribbon Video Contest, a contest held to encourage youth to showcase their role in agriculture. The three winners of AgStar’s Purple Ribbon Video Contest: Rebecca Schubert (14-15 year-old category), Erin Larson (16-18 year-old category), and Dusty Compart (19-21 year-old category) were each awarded a $500 scholarship from the AgStar Fund for Rural America. Winners were announced at the Minnesota State Fair as part of the AgStar Arena dedication celebration. Over a dozen contestants each created a two-minute video detailing their preparations of livestock for the fair. In their submissions, youth were also asked to highlight either the importance of agriculture or its impact to the world for a non-agriculture audience. Contes-
tants then competed for “likes” on Facebook, and the winners of each age group were awarded the scholarship. At the dedication of AgStar Arena at the State Fair, AgStar’s president and CEO, Paul DeBriyn, said it was important for AgStar to remain committed to the future of agriculture. “The future for agriculture is very bright. Through organizations such as FFA and 4-H, we are leaving the agriculture community in good hands.” More than 500 people took part in the dedication of AgStar Arena, which took place on the opening day of the fair. AgStar Financial Services is part of the national Farm Credit System and has a public mission to serve 69 counties in Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin.

But the opportunity to serve up a THE OUTDOORS meal of pheasant in cream sauce By John Cross might be a bit more frequent this fall, if results of the annual Farmland Wildlife Roadside Counts are any indication. The numbers from the surveys conducted last month have been crunched and the state pheasant index is up 68 percent from 2011 — 38.9 birds observed per 100 miles up from 23.2 birds/100 miles observed in 2011. The dramatic decline of pheasants last year was due to a severe winter of 2010-11 followed by cold, wet weather during the nesting season. Kurt Haroldson, a wildlife biologist with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources in New Ulm, credited the increase this year on the unusually mild winter and favorable nesting conditions this past spring. “We’re still 51 percent below the 10-year average but we had some very good years in there so pick your benchmark,” he said. “We’re certainly better than we were last year. “If you look at the harvest rates since the 1960s, we’ve had annual harvests of 500,000 birds seven times over the last 40 years or so. Five of those years have been since 2003. In 2007, we harvested 655,000.” Haroldson estimated that hunters will harvest about 291,000 pheasants this fall. Besides the weather, a key component to rebounding pheasant populations is habitat and on that count, Haroldson is less optimistic. A measure of good news this year is that even though Minnesota lost some 43,000 acres of Conservation Reserve Program land statewide this past year, in the state pheasant range, those losses were mitigated by 31,000 acres of protected habitat created by acres enrolled in other conservation programs and the accelerated acquisition of Waterfowl Protection Areas and Wildlife Management Areas with Legacy funds. However, even with Legacy funds, it would be impossible to acquire enough land to replace future losses of CRP acres. Some 300,000 acres of CRP contracts will expire at the end of September and an additional 320,000 acres within the next three years. High commodity prices, escalating rental rates and the uncertainty about what conservation measures will be included in a farm bill that Congress continues to wrangle put the future of land retirement programs in doubt. By the numbers, the most birds were tallied in west central Minnesota where there were 58 birds/100 miles — an increase of 105 percent from the 28.2 birds/100 miles counted during the 2011 survey. Southwest Minnesota posted the largest percentage increase — 173 percent — from 19.2 birds/100 miles in 2011 to 52.4 birds/100 miles this year. In the central region, pheasant numbers are up 57 percent from 18.9 birds/100 miles to 29.7 birds this year. The south central region posted a 46 percent increase

Poisonous to pets: Some common household toxins In recent columns, “Pet Talk” has addressed poisonous foods and medications common in most homes. This week the focus is on miscellaneous poisonous items around the house including plants, pennies and insecticides. Plants There are several plants that can be toxic to pets. Lilies, for example, are toxic to cats. The ingestion of any part of any type of lily can lead to kidney failure. The clinical signs can include vomiting, depression or loss of appetite. If you suspect your cat of ingesting lilies, you should contact your veterinarian immediately. There is no antidote, and intense supportive care is needed for cats to recover. Also, sago palms are a common decorative house plant that is toxic to pets. The seeds, leaves and cones of the plant can cause acute liver failure. The most common symptoms are vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite and yellowing of the skin and eyes. “If your pet ingests sago, and it shows the clinical signs of poisoning, the prognosis is guarded to poor,” said Dorothy Black, clinical assistant professor at the Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. “There is no antidote and supportive care is
extensive and includes blood transfusions.” Black said that poinsettias are usually “non” to “mildly” toxic. Pets ingesting this plant either have no clinical signs or gastrointestinal discomfort. “Poinsettias are usually referred to as highly toxic, but they really aren’t,” Black said. “So feel free to display the poinsettias at Christmas.” Pennies It may be surprising to some people, but pennies minted after 1981 contain significant quantities of the metal zinc. When ingested, excess zinc is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and causes red blood cells to break apart. Pets, then, become anemic showing signs of lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, port/wine colored urine and yellowing of the skin and gums. “Removal of the penny and aggressive supportive care with blood transfusions usually allows for a successful recovery,” Black said.
Chemicals and insecticides A dangerous chemical common in many garages is ethylene glycol. It is found in radiator coolants, brake fluids and many other household products. When ingested it causes the pet to appear intoxicated and, as the toxin is metabolized, it leads to kidney failure. Although there are medications that can inhibit the toxin and prevent kidney failure, it must be administered within the first three to six hours post-ingestion. If kidney injury is already present prognosis is guarded, but with immediate treatment prognosis is good. Some ant bait contains pyrethrin and pyrethroid. When ingested in significant quantities, these chemicals can cause total body tremors and seizures in cats and dogs, and their body temperatures can become markedly elevated. Supportive care, including muscle relaxants and anti-seizure medications, are required until the pet can metabolize the drug. Other insecticides that contain organophosphates are highly toxic substances. When ingested these insecticides can cause severe clinical reactions, including salivation, tearing, urination, defecation, vomiting, respiratory distress, tremors, seizures and paralysis. “Drugs exist to counteract the toxin and are used in addition to extensive supportive care,” Black said. “But successful recoveries require prompt treatment.” Rat bait is another household danger. Although there is no antidote, if the pet is brought immediately to the veterinarian, treatment and decontamination can prevent bleeding from accidental ingestion. Dialysis can be attempted if clinical signs are present. “Treating your pet quickly after ingestion is key to a successful recovery,” Black said.

Not a chance — Is it coincidence, or God-incidence? the end all will be well because we’re in His hands. When life feels out of control, we have an option. We can believe that life is a sick roulette game and it’s only a matter of time before we draw the short straw or we can anchor our life to real hope and peace by trusting the One who has the whole world in His hands. Do you remember singing that as a kid in Sunday School? “He’s got the whole world in His hands, He’s got the whole world in His hands ... He’s got the whole world in His hands.” We may have outgrown those pint-sized chairs in the church basement, but
we should never outgrow this timeless truth that Robin Mark so beautifully sings: “All is well with my soul. He is God in control. I know not all His plans, But I know I’m in His hands.” (“All is Well” from his album, The Year of Grace.)

What are the chances? In a crowd of 2,300 audience members who’ve put their name in a barrel for an opportunity to play on the Price is Right Live Stage Show, what are the chances that your name will be drawn? Let’s up the ante. What are the chances of being picked if THE BACK PORCH you hope against all hopes that By Lenae Bulthuis they don’t draw your name because you can’t think of anything much worse than standing on stage in front of thousands of people? If you’re my husband, the chances are good, 100 percent if you want to get technical. The crowd shouted and his row of adult children went wild when the host announced, “Michael Bulthuis, come on down! You’re the next contestant on the Price is Right!” Mike is not a real excitable guy. Contrary to the contestants you may have seen on television that skip, shout and somersault down the aisle to the stage, he kept a steady pace. If he could’ve sauntered out the back door unnoticed, that would’ve been the end of the story. His family was glad that wasn’t a viable option. Although this game show was based on the TV program, there were no cameras, Drew Carey, or even Bob Barker, but there were prizes. When Mike was on contestants’ row he bid closest to the product’s actual retail price and won a five-handset telephone system. After his initial victory, you could almost read his body language from the cheap seats, “You’ve got to be kidding? Now I have to go up on stage?” Emmy-winning television host Todd Newton, poked the microphone in Mike’s face and asked, “Do you watch the ‘Price is Right’ often at home?” “No, not really,” Mike said. I don’t care if you’re an Emmy-winning host or not, Mike’s going to say it as it is. “Well, then ...” Todd said, and the banter continued as he revealed what Mike would play for next: 1) a set of pots and pans, 2) a trip to Las Vegas, or 3) the money in the piggy bank. The good news is that he pocketed all the cash in the bank. The sad news is that it was a meager $8.25. Truly, the whole experience was priceless and has armed our sons-in-law with friendly ammo as they joke, “Michael Bulthuis, come on down!” As we replayed the odds over the next few days, this was Mike’s primary question: What are the chances? Although Mike is an even-keel kind of guy, the same cannot be said of his wife. He knows what buttons to push to get me on my soapbox, and the words “chance” and “luck” are on that list. “It’s just chance, right?” he teases. “It must be a coincidence.” What some people call coincidence, I call a Godincidence. It’s an unwavering faith, no matter what we see or feel, that all things, people and circumstances are in the grip of God’s almighty hand. It’s a deep-rooted trust that no matter what happens, in

Hartwig, but those who don’t could be forgiven for thinking he’s some kind of superhero. That’s because Hartwig is renowned for fixing what’s broken and making what’s needed. He created a snowplow out of pieces of machinery. He manufactured a saw for planing lumber. He made a few working cannons, just for fun. When he finds a bit of steel, he sees possibilities. But there’s one thing he couldn’t fix. Back nearly 50 years ago, progress came to his little valley and, after considerable back-and-forth, Hartwig’s beloved farm was cleaved in two by Interstate 90 that runs right through Wisconsin. His outbuildings now sit snug up to the highway. The background of his life is the ka-thumpa-kathumpa-ka-thumpa of semi tires on the road. Perry is friends with Hartwig. But what could a 40-something man have in common with someone old enough to be his grandfather? Perry knows a kindred spirit: both are men who love the land, love their families and have a touch of poetry in their souls. Perry, a storyteller himself,
also knows a good tale when he hears it. And he knows a good story when it walks into his life. Let me tell you about “Visiting Tom.” It’s part memoir, part character piece. There’s a bit of the poetic to it. It’s about fighting bureaucracy, Foxfire-ish self-sustenance, life the “old-timer’s” way and male-bonding foolishness. It’s about fatherhood, marriage and love. And it’s just about one of the sweetest books you’ll ever read. Perry admits to more than one lumpin-the-throat moment, and his descriptive way of explaining them causes the same in his readers. He’ll make you homesick for an old way of life (whether you lived it or didn’t), but he’ll also make you laugh because he laughs at himself. Spending time with Perry, in fact, is like a lemonade-lazy afternoon on a front porch with an old friend who loves to jaw about everything and nothing. I loved that. I think this book will appeal to anyone who longs for a time when life was slow and friends were fast. If that sounds like heaven to you, then “Visiting Tom” is a book you’ll want to call on. Look for the reviewed book at a bookstore or a library near you. You may also find the book at online book retailers. The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Terri has been reading since she was 3 years old and never goes anywhere without a book. She lives in Wisconsin with three dogs and 10,000 books. ❖

chopped fresh herbs such as rosemary, oregano, tarragon, thyme or basil. Heat through. Thai-Style: Heat 2 teaspoons of peanut oil, then add 2 finely chopped green onions, 1 tablespoon of crushed peanuts, a couple of squeezes from a fresh lime, and a bit of hot sauce. Gently heat through. ■ The next recipe is for “busy people,” and this is accomplished by mixing up the ingredients and then setting the half-risen dough in the fridge until you are ready to bake — up to 2 weeks later! Can you believe that? Awesome. Baking the bread alongside a pan of water steams the loaves so they get a chewy, artisanal crust. Serve hot from the oven with butter and deep humility as your family falls over from ecstasy. No-Knead Artisan Bread for Busy People (Yields about 4 one-pound loaves) 3 cups lukewarm water (about 100 F) 1 1/2 tablespoons yeast 1 tablespoon kosher salt 6 1/2 cups unsifted, unbleached, all-purpose white flour Additional flour to create loaves Cornmeal Baking stone or cast-iron skillet Combine the water, yeast and salt in a 5-quart bowl or plastic food container with a lid. Stir to mix. Add all of the flour at once and mix with a wooden spoon until the dough is wet and sticky with no dry patches. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap, but do not seal airtight. Let it rise for about 2 hours at room temperature. If you are not using it immediately, refrigerate the dough, covered for up to 2 weeks. To make a loaf, lightly sprinkle some flour onto the dough’s surface. Scoop up a handful the size of a grapefruit, and cut or tear it away from the remainder. Rub the dough with a layer of flour while gently stretching the top around to tuck the sides into the bottom to form a round, smooth loaf. Put the loaf on a cutting board dusted with cornmeal to prevent sticking. Let it rise, uncovered, for at least a halfhour or as long as 90 minutes. The loaf will plump but not change radically in size. About 20 minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 450 F. Place a metal pan on the bottom rack of the oven. Put the baking stone or cast-iron skillet on the middle rack.
Dust the loaf liberally with flour. Slash the top with a cross or three lines with a sharp knife and slide it onto the preheated baking surface. Carefully pour about 1 cup of water into the metal pan and close the oven door to trap the steam. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the crust is browned and the loaf feels light and hollow. Cool to room temperature. Note: You can substitute 2 cups of whole wheat flour for 2 cups of the white flour if desired. For a “lazy sourdough,” mix the next batch in the same container without cleaning it first. ■ The following recipe cooks quickly, so prep all your ingredients in advance. Serve over pasta or rice. You can substitute scallops, solid white fish, extra-firm tofu or chicken for the shrimp. Saffron threads are the color of gold and almost as expensive, so if you have turmeric you can just use that instead. Turmeric is slightly cheaper, more in the range of the price of silver. I kid, but you’ll see. Spicy Shrimp in Saffron Tomato Sauce 1 pound uncooked large shrimp 1/2 cup chicken stock or water 2 teaspoons plus 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 21, 2012
By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent Kathleen Flinn was a graduate of the famed Le Cordon Bleu cooking school in Paris with nothing to do with her skills. At loose ends, she had a chance encounter with a woman in a grocery store who needed help selecting healthy foods and advice on how to prepare it. Inspired, Flinn gathered a group of volunteers with only one thing in common: They were kitchenchallenged. Working classes began, and the idea for a book was born. Follow along with the amusing, touching and educational results in “Kitchen Counter Cooking School,” Flinn’s homage to her students’ struggles and victories in the kitchen. All recipes were designed not only to be “doable” for beginners but also to be healthy and independent of processed, packaged foods. Flinn explains basic cooking techniques as well as recipe ingredients, and there are lots of “substitution moments” where cooks trying these recipes at home can experiment a little. It’s a neat little book, a quick read, and a lifetime of helpful knowledge. Pick it up at your bookstore or library when you want a book of personal stories and reflections that also happens to include recipes. ■ My family loves fresh vegetables (yes, I lucked out), so doing up a couple of these quick, no-fuss sauces was a no-brainer. We slathered steamed garden green beans with the Garlic Citrus Butter and tossed storebought brussels sprouts with the Asian Ginger Lime to do a taste test, and were impressed with the results: Much better than plain butter, salt and pepper, and not much more difficult, with only one small saucepan to wash. (Important since dishwashing is a hateful chore everybody flees. We’ve been saying “We should get a dishwasher” for 22 years.) Some preferred the Garlic Citrus Butter beans, others the Asian Ginger Lime sprouts, but everyone agreed: Four out of four “yums” for both sauces. Flavor Splashes for Vegetables Just mix the ingredients together in a small saucepan, heat briefly, pour onto vegetables, and toss to coat. Each recipe coats enough for about four side servings of vegetables. Asian Ginger Lime: Warm 2 teaspoons of sesame oil, then add 1 teaspoon of fresh grated ginger or a couple of pinches of dried ginger, a few squeezes of fresh lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon of soy sauce. Heat through for about 3 minutes. Cajun Oil: Warm 2 teaspoons of olive oil, add 3 finely chopped green onions, and cook until tender, then add 1 teaspoon of Cajun spice blend, a few squeezes of fresh lemon juice, and a couple of drops of hot sauce. Garlic Citrus Butter: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter, add 2 small cloves of minced garlic, a bit of fresh thyme or mixed dried herbs, and 1 teaspoon of lemon or orange juice, and sauté for a couple of minutes, until the garlic softens. Herb-Lemon Oil: Warm 2 teaspoons of olive oil, then add the zest of 1/2 a lemon and 1 tablespoon of

Summer may be over, but don’t put your grill away
THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 21, 2012
I hope you aren’t upset with me, but this week I don’t have a recipe. It’s more of a motivational column to all of my outdoor chef buddies — guys and gals. Here is the dilemma. Once Labor Day passes, it is traditional for most to put their grill and/or smoker away until next summer. I typically enter into a mild state of depression this time of the year, knowing that many great BBQ and grilling memories are there for the taking, yet
most won’t experience them because they follow the proverbial “Memorial Day ’til Labor Day” outdoor cooking schedule. As a side story, I have recently been informed that the old rule of “women never wear white shoes after Labor Day” is no longer strictly adhered to. I would like to initiate the same trend with outdoor chefs. Don’t put your grills and/or smokers

away. I speak the truth when I state that the best outdoor cooking days in 2012 are still ahead of us. You just need to readjust your thinking. Let’s start now with a few points. The autumn season: In my opinion, fall is the absolute best time of the year. Changing colors and comfortable temperatures make it a great time to be outside. Why not grill something or fix some world class BBQ? The holidays: Think about the holidays and the events coming down the bend, and the fantastic outdoor dishes you could create. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Eve and New Years Day, Super Bowl, St. Patrick’s Day, Final Four and then Easter. All of these obviously don’t take place between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Why not eat well during these great family events? Create culinary traditions. Pulled pork: There is something about autumn and hickory-smoked pulled pork sandwiches. Mark off a Saturday or Sunday and give it a try. Need some training? Go to my website and learn how to prepare it. You won’t regret it. Commit to trying something new; variety is the spice of life. Make a commit-
ment to experiment during the “off season” and learn new techniques. Never cooked veggies outdoors? Give it a shot. Never smoked a turkey? What the heck? Make a run at it. Prime rib for Christmas? Absolutely. Venture out. Look to upgrade your equipment: This time of the year is the best time to look at new grills or BBQ units. The retailers have them priced to move. They don’t want the units (hence their money) collecting dust over the winter months. Just do me a favor and buy quality. You won’t regret it. As we move into the autumn season, continue grilling and creating great BBQ. In future columns I would really enjoy answering questions from readers relating to grilling techniques and BBQ. Think of me as the “Dear Abby” of the BBQ world. Just e-mail me your questions at davelobeck@gmail.com and I may use your question in a future issue. Now get out there and keep grilling.

Try turmeric over saffron threads to save some dough COOKBOOK, from pg. 21A 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes Half a lemon 1/2 cup dry white wine or vermouth Pinch of saffron threads 2 or 3 large garlic cloves, minced 1 tablespoon tomato paste 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced peeled tomatoes in juice 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano or mixed Italian herbs Handful of minced fresh basil or flatleaf parsley Peel the shrimp. Add the shrimp shells to the chicken stock or water and simmer until needed. Toss the shrimp with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil, a couple of pinches of coarse salt, a few grinds of black pepper, the red pepper flakes, and a squeeze of juice from the lemon half. Combine the wine and saffron. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Cook the shrimp until they are
opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer them to a bowl with a slotted spoon or tongs. Add a bit more oil to the pan if necessary. Cook the garlic for about 1 minute, then add the tomato paste and the wine/saffron mixture, and cook for about 3 minutes, until some of it evaporates. Remove the shells from the stock with a slotted spoon and add the liquid to the sauce. Next add the tomatoes and dried herbs. Continue to cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes, until it is reduced to a saucelike consistency. Taste to see if it needs more salt or pepper. Add the cooked shrimp and simmer until they’re heated through, about a minute or two. Remove from the heat, then stir in the minced basil or parsley and add a few squeezes of lemon over the top. Serve over hot pasta or rice. “The Kitchen Counter Cooking School” is available from Viking Press. ❖

Farmers Market, Melrose, Minn. he U.S. Department of AgriculT ture’s online Farmers Market Search lists 65 markets within 100
miles of me. The 2012 Minnesota Grown Directory, published by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, lists 156 farmers markets in Minnesota. In recent years farmers markets across the state and country have increased in number and gained new respect. Heavy hitters, such as the USDA, have become promoters and supporters of large and small markets. Dan Frank, a senior program manager for the Initiative Foundation in Little Falls, says that there is a new recognition of the economic benefits of farmers markets. Additionally, Frank says, they can help revitalize downtown areas and provide healthy food to residents. The Initiative Foundation has helped a number of local communities develop farmers markets.

MIELKE, from pg. 1B House, and various other farm organizations was held Sept. 12 to lobby lawmakers to pass a farm bill before Sept. 30. ■ In late-breaking news Thursday, Dairy Profit Weekly reported that U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley, D-Iowa, filed a bipartisan “discharge petition” which could force House floor consideration of a 2012 farm bill proposal. The petition was filed after House Speaker John Boehner allowed the House ag committee’s proposal to be reported from committee. Immediately, Braley formally introduced his bipartisan discharge petition, signed by 38 other House members. If at least 218 House members sign the petition, leaders are forced to bring the legislation to the floor for a vote. “While the discharge petition advanced by Congressman Braley is certainly an unorthodox tactic, we are now forced to support this drastic measure,” said American Soybean Association President Steve Wellman, a soybean farmer from Syracuse, Neb. Details are available at www.dairyline.com. ■ Checking the markets, cash block cheese closed the second Friday in September at $1.8725 per pound, up 4.25 cents on the week and 9.5 cents above a year ago. Ten offers went uncovered Friday. Barrel closed at $1.8275, up 5.25 cents on the week and 10.75 cents above a year ago. Eighteen carloads of block and 12 of barrel found new homes on the week. The Agricultural Marketing Service-surveyed U.S. average block price inched to $1.8533, up 0.6 cent, while the barrels averaged $1.8330, up 0.1 cent. Food service demand is showing added interest in cheese with most schools back in session, according to the USDA’s Dairy Market News. While domestic demand is good, export interest is weaker as U.S. prices are above international prices in many cases. Export sales are being assisted by the Cooperatives Working Together program which announced that it accepted 11 requests for export assistance this week to sell 3.337 million pounds of cheese and 385,809 pounds of butter to customers in Asia and the Middle East. The product will be delivered through February 2013 and raised the CWT’s 2012 cheese exports to 82.4 million pounds, 57.1 million pounds of butter and 123,459 pounds of anhydrous milk fat to 34 countries. The Daily Dairy Report says U.S. exports of nonfat dry milk slowed in July, down 19 percent from July 2011 and 21 percent lower than June 2012 after adjusting for the number of days in the month. The USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service says U.S. NDM exports for the first seven months of the year were 7 percent higher than a year earlier. July exports to Mexico, the largest importer of U.S. NDM, were down 22 percent from July 2011 and off 24 percent from the prior month. Year-to-date exports to See MIELKE, pg. 3B
USDA production reports revised due to plant error Mexico are up 22 percent and account for 41 percent of NDM exports. Exports to China for January to July were 48 percent higher this year than in 2011, and account for 4 percent of NDM exports, according to the DDR. In general, exports to major NDM importers in Southeast Asia excluding China are lower than last year and the DDR pointed out that the United States appears to have lost market share to New Zealand, where milk powder exports were strong in July. European exports have been firm all year, but the United States and Europe are approaching seasonal lows in NDM production.
Jerry Dryer also wrote about the revisions in his Sept. 7 Dairy and Food Market Analyst. He reported that the big revision was Gouda production which was originally reported as American cheese.

“USDA’s first estimate, published in April said Gouda output in 2011 totaled 16.2 million pounds. After the revisions, output stood at 65.7 million. Gouda production has increased dramatically in recent years because it is the cheese of choice among overseas customers,” Dryer wrote. “Historically, Europe supplied these buyers with gouda cheese for processing.”

The DDR warned that the United States could lose more market share in coming months as New Zealand enters peak production and spot prices of U.S. dairy products remain higher than world prices. Mary Ledman, editor of the DDR, addressed some revisions in several types of cheese production for the first half of 2012 by the USDA in their recent Dairy Products report but particularly in Cheddar. She said that Cheddar output was lowered 41.2 million pounds or 2.5 percent, “a significant revision.” The reason given, she said, was that a plant reported all of their cheese as Cheddar when in fact it produced several varieties. Cheddar production for 2012 and 2011 was overstated and the revision for the entire year was down 45.2 million pounds. She talks about it in her Daily Dairy Discussion which is a free download every Friday at www.daily dairyreport.com.
the week (ending 11 consecutive weeks of gain) and 5.25 cents below a year ago. Four cars traded hands on the week. AMS butter averaged $1.8037, up 3.5 cents. Churning schedules, especially over the Labor Day weekend, were generally stronger as cream supplies were available to churns coast to coast, according to the USDA. Most butter producers were pleased with the additional offerings as many feel that cream supplies will tighten this fall. Butter demand is seasonally steady. Export activity continues from the United States including that from the CWT. Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk lost a penny on the week, slipping to $1.69. Extra Grade held all week at $1.6350. AMS powder averaged $1.3622, up 3.6 cents, and dry whey averaged 57.45 cents, up 1.4 cents. The USDA reported that Class I demand was strong after the holiday weekend across much of the nation. Eastern milk supplies are tight with Florida importing 72 loads the first week of September. Hurricane Isaac caused some temporary transportation problems with handlers in the Southeast. Midwest manufacturing milk supplies were aided by the long holiday weekend as some plants took the weekend off and others worked extra shifts to increase inventories. California milk production is trending slightly higher as temperatures have moderated. Processors are handling current supplies with relative ease. New Mexico milk output is flat and tracking below year-ago levels. Milk production in the Northwest is slowing following seasonal patterns. Milk handlers are balancing supplies within the region. Cream demand is increasing as Class II plants go back to full production. ■ Checking the price front, California’s October Class I milk price was announced by the California Department of Food and Agriculture at $20.55/cwt. for the north and $20.82 for the south. Both are up $1.21 from September but 95 cents below October 2011. The 2012 Class I price average now stands at $18.25 for the north, down from $20.72 at this time a year ago but compares to $16.66 in 2010. The southern average now stands at $18.52, down from $20.99 a year ago and compares to $16.93 in 2010. The federal order Class I price is announced Sept. 19.

pared to the net dollars if they have the cost of harvesting, handling and selling the corn as grain. One of the common guidelines for determining a dollar value for normal corn silage as it stands in the field is to multiply the price for a bushel of corn by six or seven or eight and that would give a price we might pay for a ton of corn silage. For example, if you used seven times the price of corn at $7.50, that makes $52.50 per ton of corn silage. This is based on the concept that normal corn silage is likely to have somewhere around six, seven or eight bushels of corn in a ton of corn silage. Some writers suggest subtracting the cost of harvesting the silage from this value because if you bought corn in town at the same price, you would not have a harvesting cost. Some suggest adding a value for the forage part of the silage. The forage component might be based on the value of grass hay that has similar quality to the corn fodder material. Some suggest putting a value on the fodder based on the fertilizer value of the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the fodder. I think about the concept that nutrients only have value if I need them and if I know they will be available to the crop. If my soil P test is off the top of the chart, I wouldn’t be buying phosphorus for the field except for maybe 10 to 15 pounds in a starter. Maybe it has value on the farm the silage is going to. Field trials that were done in Wisconsin from 1997 to 2005 show that bushels of corn per ton of silage varies significantly for several reasons. If you use six to eight times the price of corn grain for pricing corn silage, you should consider the information in this article. Moisture at chopping is a huge factor. As the grain matures and dries it becomes a larger portion of what you are weighing in a filled silage box or truck box. If the corn yield is 150 bushels per acre, and you’re chopping at 65 percent moisture, the corn silage yield is expected to be around 20 tons per acre with about 7.5 bushels per ton. If the same corn was chopped at 60 percent moisture (less water) the yield drops to 17.7 tons per acre with 8.6 bushels of corn per ton. If the same corn is chopped at 70 percent moisture (more water) the yield goes up to 23.3
tons per acre with 6.4 bushels of corn per ton. Moisture counts. The grain-per-ton ratio also varies with different hybrids and the weather. Weather could be a significant factor this year. Limited moisture earlier in the growing season might limit plant growth. With good rain for pollination and grain fill, you might have a good grain yield on a smaller plant. You could have the opposite — lots of stalk growth followed by dry weather with lower grain yield. From 1997 to 2005 with silage adjusted to 65 percent moisture, the bushels of corn per ton with a 150 bushel corn yield varied from 6.4 to 9.2. Another approach would be to leave a test strip in the field that is combined later. Buyers and sellers need to agree on where in the field strips would be left to be representative of the field. This would need to fit with baling stalks, fall tillage, applying manure or other work the land owner wants to do in the fall. Usually corn that is chopped for silage is close to maturity and randomly hand picking ear samples, as crop insurance adjustors do, might give pretty good clues about grain yield. People need to decide how much they want to try measuring something and how much they want to guesstimate. Internet users can search for the Wisconsin article: “The Relationship between Corn Grain Yield and Forage Yield.” They also have a couple of good articles and worksheets for calculating prices for corn silage. You can do a website search for Wisconsin Extension Forage, or Wisconsin Extension Corn Silage. You can search for Minnesota Extension to also look for information on handling drought-stressed corn, corn silage and other topics.

Grain Outlook Livestock Angles Grain Angles Basis levels begin Cattle market Harvest of haves, to strengthen hits a brick wall have nots The following market analysis is for the week ending Sept. 14. CORN — Corn broke lower out of its comfy $7.90 to $8.20 trading range in anticipation of the Sept. 12 U.S. Department of Agriculture crop report on profit taking and heavy fund liquidation. The USDA numbers supported that anticipation by releasing a bearish balance sheet for the 201213 crop year which began Sept. 1. Post-report trading corn pushed to lows not seen since July, bottoming the December contract at $7.59 1/4 per bushel before regaining its footing and attracting fund money. Basis levels began to strengthen PHYLLIS NYSTROM Country Hedging as end-user buying was noted on St. Paul the downdraft. The USDA lowered the yield to 122.8 bushels per acre, which was below the August 123.4 bu./acre estimate, but higher than the 120.6 bu./acre traders were expecting. The USDA did not touch harvested acres of 87.4 million acres, opting to wait until certified acreage numbers will be available to be reconciled with USDA survey information. Adjustments lower will be expected on the October crop report. Accordingly, production came in at 10.727 billion bushels, 52 million bushels less than last month’s estimate, but higher than the average estimate of 10.403 billion bushels. Ending stocks for 2012-13 were increased 83 million bushels to 733 million, versus estimates for 608 million bushels, and 650 million on the August report. Ending stocks for old crop 2011-12 were raised 160 million bushels to 1.181 billion bushels. Addressing the harvested acres question, the 10year average harvested acreage percentage is 91.1 percent. The USDA is currently using 90.7 percent, but in years of low yields the percentage is closer to See NYSTROM, pg. 7B
The first week of September has proven to be for the most part a disappointing start to the month as far as price for both cattle and especially hogs. The cattle market has run into what appears to be a brick wall as far as price above the $120 per hundredweight area basis the Midwest and the $190/cwt. level basis the beef cutout. This has been evident by the volume in the boxed beef trade which has slowed to the lowest levels in months. This lack of movement in the boxes indicates a resistance by the consumer to the retail price increases and demand has slowed. At the same time the margins JOE TEALE to the packer have deteriorated, Broker forcing the packers’ bids for live Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. inventory to become more selective. The fact that there are fewer cattle ready for market is offset by the decrease in demand for beef. Another factor which is effecting the market price for live animals is the fact that weights are much heavier than a year ago, so beef production remains higher than normal even with the decrease in marketed cattle. Another major factor that is effecting the price of cattle is the overall deteriorating economic conditions here in the United States and worldwide. This will continue to have an effect on domestic beef and export demand. Therefore, producers should continue to monitor market conditions and lock-in inventory when necessary. The hog market has been on a roller coaster since July. The problem is that the roller coaster has been headed down during that time. This freefall in price has taken hog prices to the lowest of the year and the lowest since December 2011.
Harvest is always one of my favorite times of the year. Where I farmed in western Kansas, we had both a summer harvest and fall harvest. In late-June or early July as the temperatures rose to triple digits the wheat and barley would be ripe for harvest. These were long, hot days as we raced to reap the grain before a hail storm could take the crop. Yet, the fall harvest was always a special time of the year. The days were shorter and cooler, yet there was that certain spell of fall in the air indicating that the growing season was over. A year’s work was to be rewarded with the gathering of the crops and getting ready for winter. TOM NEHER I remember times when we AgStar VP & Team Leader — Grain Industry scrambled to find storage for Rochester, Minn. “bumper crops.” I also remember times when it was finally a relief to harvest the crop, so I did not have to look at the burnedup rows. Those fields looked better after they had been harvested than when they were standing crops. As I drive around the country and scout the grain crops, I know that there are some of you who know what I am talking about. This is truly a year of the “haves” and “have nots”. Some fields will produce record-yielding crops, while others will be waiting for an insurance adjuster to visit. The corn markets have spent the last three weeks consolidating and bickering over national average yield and harvest acres. While end-users are forced to make decisions that will erode the demand for corn. Over the next two or three weeks we will have a much better handle on the size of the corn crop.

counted to the current lean index, that bounce could be forthcoming in the near future. Help should come from the demand side as prices for pork are considerably lower per pound than for beef and with the disposable income continuing to lessen per household the movement of pork should continue to expand. These factors should at least begin to slow the downward spiral in hog prices in the weeks ahead. Producers should keep a close eye on market conditions and use price protection when warranted. ❖
NEHER, from pg. 6B The soybean prices remain in a stronger position as the investors are still putting money into this market. These grain markets are still fundamentally bullish, yet could experience some large swings to the downside without changing the trend. Many have told me that they have corn sold for $5.50 and soybeans sold for $14.50 and they are not happy with those marketing decisions. When I ask them how much more grain they have to sell, I get that slightly twisted look of recognition that they have the opportunity to raise their average price by selling grain at these current prices. As I look back to fall harvest on our farm, I can remember the green pick-up truck with a large white “topper” on the back that my Grandmother used to
bring us our lunch boxes. You could see her coming from a mile away as she slowly made her way out to the field. She would give us a box that may have a meatball sandwich wrapped in wax paper or cold fried chicken, along with some apples, cookies and a canning jar with some sort of fruit juice concoction to drink. She always wore an old, large cotton bonnet to keep the dust out of her hair, along with her old work coat and gloves to keep her hands warm. She always had a quiet smile and an appreciation for the gift of a crop to harvest. As I remember the trail of dust that would follow her truck home, I knew that she was doing what she could do to help bring the harvest in from the field. During this harvest, take time to remember those who matter to you. I wish for you to have a safe harvest. ❖

TEALE, from pg. 6B The main culprit appears to be the liquidation of the hog herd because of the high input costs to maintain inventory. The interesting fact involved in this liquidation is that weights remain high so pork production is still at high levels. Considering cold storage levels were already high, this adds to the pressure on the live market keeping prices on the defensive. Obviously the hog market is getting technically oversold and a bounce is due. With futures well dis-
High inputs causing herd liquidation
2011-12 was cut 15 million to 130 million bushels. Pod counts were reported 21 percent below last year’s September report, but this year’s yield is only down 15 percent. Does this foretell future adjustments lower? The world balance sheet pegged ending stocks at 53.10 mmt for 2012-13 or a 75-day supply of soybeans. This was pretty much expected with 1.5 mmt of exports switched from the United States to Brazil. The market is counting on a seamless export program out of Brazil next year. Already dryness in northern Brazil is getting talked about. El Nino has reportedly begun which would usually result in dryness in eastern and northern Brazil. What the magnitude of the El Nino event and its affects will be will be played out over the next several months. Weekly export sales were neutral at 23.1 million bushels. We only need to sell 5.75 million bushels per week for the balance of the marketing year to meet the 1.055 billion bushel USDA forecast. We presently have sold 72 percent of total projected exports for the year, impressive. Usually we have about 37 percent of the export forecast sold at this time. OUTLOOK: Soybeans remain in a $17 to $18 range with a big job of rationing still to be accomplished. At our current pace of exports, we’ll reach the USDA export total by mid-December. Over the long run, we could expect even higher prices to complete the rationing process and if South America experiences even minor glitches associated with their upcoming crop year.

in turn fell to four-month lows. OUTLOOK: Corn may be setting up for further consolidation as harvest progresses, but at a lower range than previously traded, at least until the October report. Next month’s harvested acreage number may be the factor that forces the market to reevaluate how much rationing is yet to be done. Ahead of the Sept. 28 Grain Stocks report and the October crop report, we’ll widen the trading range to $7.50 to $8.20 per bushel. December corn was 17 1/2 cents lower for the week at $7.82 per bushel. SOYBEANS — The September crop report was neutral to slightly friendly on the face, and after a six-day string of lower markets, traders stepped back in as buyers on the report to bring prices back to close higher on the week. November soybeans pushed to a new low for the move after the report’s release to $16.93 1/2 per bushel and the lowest level since Aug. 21 (a break of 95 1/2 cents from the Sept. 4 high of $17.89 to the low on Sept. 12 of $16.93 1/2). However, soybeans came roaring back to post a key reversal higher report day session. November soybeans extended those gains for the balance of the week, closing up 2 1/2 cents for the week at $17.39 per bushel. The USDA is estimating the soybean yield at 35.3 bu./acre versus 36.1 bu./acre in August. Production equates to 2.634 billion bushels when the trade was anticipating 2.657 billion and 2.692 billion bushels last month. Ending stocks for 2012-13 were unchanged at 115 million bushels when the market was looking for decline to 106 million. Carryout for

NYSTROM, from pg. 6B 85.9 percent. As this illustrates, harvested acres will be a major influence on ending stocks and how much rationing is ahead of us. On the world scene, 2012-13 ending stocks were increased from 123.33 million metric tons to 123.95 mmt, only a 53-day supply and the lowest since 1995-96. World demand is projected to fall year-onyear for the first time since 1993-94. Weekly export sales were 8.5 million bushels, bringing total commitments to 395 million bushels or 30 percent less than last year. This is the lowest commitment quantity for this time of year since 2005. We’ll need to sell 18.2 million bushels per week to achieve the current export forecast of 1.25 billion bushels. China this week lowered their corn import forecast to 1.0 mmt due to high prices, a good domestic crop and increased wheat feeding versus 5.5 mmt imported in 2012. Argentina announced they will export an additional 2.75 mmt this year. Weekly U.S. ethanol production fell to 816,000 barrels per day. This is 7 percent less than last year. Helping to counter the bearishness of the midweek crop report was the Federal Open Market Committee announcement they will purchase $40 billion in mortgage-backed debt each month until the jobs outlook improves and inflation stays low. In addition, The Fed vowed to keep interest rates low until at least mid-2015, about a year longer than previously pledged. This was viewed as friendly to commodity markets since the plan is open-ended and it consequently helped lift prices. The U.S. dollar index

Crop insurance considerations for the 2012 harvest With Federal Crop Insurance, every year is different, and with the multiple options available to producers, there are many variable results from crop insurance coverage at harvest time. This year will be no different, with some producers choosing Yield Protection FARM PROGRAMS policies (yield only) versus Revenue Protection policies By Kent Thiesse (yield and price). Producers also have differences in the level of coverage, and some producers chose “optional units,” while other producers chose “enterprise units” for 2012. In the Midwest, most corn and soybean producers in recent years have tended to secure some level of revenue crop insurance coverage, rather than standard yield-only policies. Producers like the flexibility of the RP policies that provide insurance coverage for reduced yields, as well as in instances where the harvest price drops below initial base price. In 2012, corn and soybean yield losses with YP policies and RP policies will likely function similarly, with a likely difference in the market price, due to the current high levels in the Chicago Board of Trade grain prices.

PROGRAMS, from pg. 8B percent coverage RP crop insurance policies, on either “optional units” or “enterprise units.” The premium estimates are for “enterprise units” with TA yields. The table also contains space for producers to put in their own APH yields, insurance coverage levels, premium costs, projected yield and harvest prices, in order to make estimates for potential 2012 crop insurance payments. Bottom line on calculating potential crop insurance payments Producers who have crop losses in 2012, with potential crop insurance indemnity payments, should properly document yield losses for either “optional units” or “enterprise units.” Producers with RP policies who qualify for crop insurance indemnity payments will likely be paid at a higher payment rate than producers with YP policies, due to the higher CBOT harvest prices for corn and soybeans. A reputable crop insurance agent is the best source of information to make estimates for potential 2012 crop insurance indemnity payments, and to find out about documentation requirements for crop insurance losses. It is important for producers who are facing crop losses in 2012 to understand their crop insurance coverage,

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. for questions or prices please call
