OPINION

Letter: Clean, fair elections not always so To the Editor: Felons voting illegally may have put Al Franken over the top in Minnesota, according to Minnesota Majority findings after an 18-month study.

Minnesota Majority is a conservative watchdog group and is honest. They found that at least 341 convicted felons voted in largely Democratic Minneapolis-St. Paul in the 2008 Senate race.

Minnesotans woke up to Norm Coleman leading Al Franken by 725 votes. By that evening, he was ahead by only 477 votes.

The next day, Coleman’s margin stood at 206. This lopsided bleeding of Republican votes is strange as the official recount hadn’t even started.

Now we see that 341 felons voted illegally for sure.

Thirty-two ballots had been forgotten to be counted as they were in an election official’s car. A judge refused

to stop the counting of these ballots even though it was impossible to prove their integrity 72 hours after the polls had closed. The final recount vote showed Al Franken beat Norm Coleman by 312 votes.

Clean, fair elections are not always so clean and fair.

There are rules and procedures set up so that anyone can get a photo ID. You will not need a marriage certificate or birth certificate.

Telling scary ideas like the letter writer did in the Sept. 14 issue — “Letter: Photo ID amendment a waste of time, money” — are outright distortions of a good law that would ensure we have honest, fair elections. Her grandmother would be ashamed of her technique.

Dolores McClernon Tintah, Minn.

Letter: What’s next, people marrying their pets?

To the Editor: After watching this issue on the Nov. 6 amendment unfolding in this newspaper, I feel compelled to weigh in. I hope that it is the silent majority that stands up and passes the amendment that bans marriage for same-sex couples.

This country was founded on basic Christian principles and these very basic beliefs are being attacked on a daily basis. You lose the religion, you lose the country, and yes it’s that simple. With each subsequent genera-

tion, as you keep altering the values, this country will not be recognizable. Heaven forbid that this amendment should ever be defeated. If it would, what’s next — multiple partners, people and their pets?

What is sad is that society has deteriorated to this point that this issue should even have to be addressed.

Those parents and grandparents who are no longer with us would be appalled to see what is happening today.

in Minnesota in 2011, 149 were involved in a crash with a tractor or other farm equipment. Those accidents resulted in 19 injuries and two deaths.

Although every Minnesota farm is unique, there are some common steps all farmers can take to maximize safety for themselves and their families. That’s why we’ve added a new page on the Minnesota Department of Agriculture website offering safety tips to help farmers avoid common problems. The new page can be accessed by selecting “Farm Safety” from the featured items atop our homepage at www.mda.state.mn.us.

If you are among the thousands of Minnesota farmers out in the field this autumn, please take a moment to check out the information on our website, and please follow those tips that can help you and your family have a safe 2012 harvest.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

See ROHWER, pg. 6A

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer It doesn’t take too long for Bruce Rohwer to share his frustrations with the lack of action on a new farm bill.

“Many parts of our country experienced drought conditions this year.

Yet there are provisions for those Bruce Rohwer producers in a crisis situation within the farm bill framework that the Senate passed in June,” said Rohwer, newly elected president of the Iowa Corn Growers Association and O’Brien County farmer near Paullina. “Now the House thinks it important to do a ‘stop gap’ emergency program that really isn’t necessary if they would just get around to passing the Senate’s proposed bill.”

The Senate version called for about $23 billion of reductions over a five-year period including substantial realignment of the food aid provisions which account for nearly 80 percent of the U.S. Department of Agriculture farm bill.

Rohwer acknowledged abandoning the direct payment provisions was simply logical and good public relations. “Supplementing with provisions when the need was there rather This year will than blanket coverlikely see a age, regardless the record number circumstances, simof claims.

“Obviously we want these insurers around. With USDA backing out of more commodity programs, Federal Crop Insurance really becomes the key instrument to ensure a productive and profitable agriculture,” Rohwer said.

Looking at it from the perspective of both producers and consumers, he said that it boils down to programs and policies that provide a sustainable, reliable food source: “People’s food is really what farming is all about. We need the structures that assure people’s food is available year after year and not be thrown

Rohwer: Waiver push was premature ROHWER, from pg, 5A into disarray because of Mother Nature’s whims.”

Rohwer cited another possible risk of crop insurance being privately funded, suggesting that larger farmers might ignore insurance to avoid the exceedingly high costs. “But that would simply make insurance even more prohibitive for medium and smaller operations,” he said. “Insurance works best with broad across the entire agricultural spectrum participation.”

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

On talk about dropping the Renewable Fuels Standards of a 10-percent ethanol fuels program nationwide, Rohwer shook his head. “I don’t know,” he said.

“I feel that the various governors who pushed for a waiver were premature. I have no problem their asking for a waiver, but first let’s see what this 2012 crop is. We’re still working with last year’s crop so let’s wait until we see the total size of this year’s crop.

That would be a more logical time to ask for a waiver.

“Rationing is already taking place in the market, both domestic and export. Capitalistic economics are not always warm and fuzzy. It can be rather hard and cold but numbers are what they are. That’s simply a function of marketing. If the supply is limited, the demand has to be limited.

“Right know I don’t believe anyone knows, but as president of the Iowa Corn Growers Association I know I speak for our 7,000-plus members when I say ‘leave it just the way it is.’ These ‘temporary’ fixes often just add to the confusion and in the process we seriously cripple our entire ethanol fuels industry which in our state is one of the biggest employers in the state.”

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

With a significant moisture recharge across the nation and commodity prices staying strong, might there be a 3-million-acre increase in corn acres for 2013? Rohwer hesitated, then responded, “What would the situation be today if we had not harvested a record crop in 2011?” He said he, like most farmers, is somewhat a creature of habit, and for him that means a 50-50 corn-soybean rotation on his 1,000 acres of crop land. He’s also a hog producer, so swine manure is his major fertilizer source.

“To get farmers to move past their tradition on crop rotations, the market has to pull it out of people,” said Rohwer. “So I don’t think until we head to our fields next spring and the market is giving us a better picture will we be making big decisions on big swings in our cropping plans. Pretty certain, though, that if it’s needed, the market will call for it.”

Are there some inherent dangers in the significant profitability of farming? Rohwer cited that old adage of “high prices cure high prices.” He admitted that when profits get unusually large, that little fellow called “greed” can come sneaking around.

Rohwer was interviewed at the Clay County Fair in Spencer, Iowa. ❖

Conventional corn hybrids piquing interest ... growers are getting frustrated. They’re spending big money to get ‘trait protection’ but results aren’t always there.

— Sam Beenken planted. Six hybrids ranging from 101- to 111-days relative maturity are offered by Ag Performance Seed Co. of Buffalo Center, Iowa.

“We like to push the in-furrow starter fertilizer idea,” Beenken said. “We think this gets corn off to a faster start, and without ‘trait protection’ that’s a plus. We planted about half our corn to conventional hybrids this year. We’re not yet harvesting but do notice that our conventional corn is standing better.”

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 28, 2012

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer With trait-stacked hybrids virtually the calling card for the entire seed industry, conventional corn hybrids are almost history. But not quite.

Sam Beenken, a sales consultant for Ag Performance Hybrids, said the reason conventional corn interest is Mike Hemiller “Resistant weeds are showing up more and more. Plus the triple stack isn’t keeping the rootworm and corn borer under control. Now we even are seeing evidence of fungicide resistance, too. So growers are getting frustrated. They’re spending big money to get ‘trait protection’ but results aren’t always there.”

Ag Performance conventional corn hybrids retail at $132, and that alone stirs up some interest compared with the $300-plus range on virtually all “big name” quad-stack hybrids for the 2013 season. Logically these non-genetically modified hybrids catch the interest of organic farmers also.

Any different strategies for these conventional corn hybrids? Beenken said they recommend 32,000 to 35,000 plants per acre, depending on where it is

He said their conventional hybrids grew bigger, greener, healthier looking plants this entire season.

Their in-furrow starter package can include a variety of different products such as Ignite S2, a micro nutrient that increases seedling vigor, root growth and nutrient availability.

That’s why Ag Performance selects “race horse” pedigrees but emphasizes balancing field nutrients to match the hybrid.

He predicts yields between their conventional and GMO hybrids will be close. “Even on our lighter ground the conventional looked as good as or better than the triple-stacked hybrid right beside it.”

Dan Yegge is the brains behind the development of these conventional corn hybrids. Mike Hemiller, Ag Performance CEO and financial consultant, said the company was started in the late-1990s.

Ethanol racer: Pure alcohol runs cooler, cleaner

He is also involved in an ethanolpowered race car. He’s a member and strong spokesperson for the Iowa Corn Growers Association. At the recent Clay County Fair in Spencer, Iowa, Reisz occasionally fired up his racing gem and also fired away on why ethanol fuels should become available to all motorists.

“We run this car on 100-percent alcohol (made from corn) in the IMCA category, meaning it’s a modified engine. It cranks out roughly 550 hp and it’s an eight-year-old engine,” Reisz said. He speaks positively about the “cleaning power” of ethanol. “We ran this unit three years on straight ethanol. We tore the engine apart last

Youth learning about wind power from the ground up

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer The KidWind Project’s goal is to promote the elegance of wind power through affordable tools and training programs that challenge, engage and inspire students of all ages.

Sharing that message at the recent Clay County Fair in Spencer, Iowa, which had special Wind Energy Day this year was James Grimm, a young man from St. Paul. He even had a special display of various “wind turbines” made by students at various schools.

“Our network now extends across the country,” Grimm said, explaining that the project started 10 years ago in Minnesota to teach teachers about wind energy so they could better teach their students about the industry beginning to emerge across the plains of western Minnesota.

James Grimm, with the KidWind Project, shares his enthusiasm for wind power with youth.

Dick Hagen

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 28, 2012

“We write a special curriculum for teachers and design our special wind projects in St. Paul which we then make available for teachers regardless of what grade level they instruct,” Grimm said. That means teaching

materials and products for the kindergarten teacher right on through the university level.

Grimm said location makes a difference on the pickup of this special teaching material. “Areas most interested in

our products are wind-producing states.

So Texas and California are the two biggest customers but Minnesota, Iowa and New York are right in line also.”

It really is a hands-on learning experience. Students design wind turbines from the ground up and that means the tower, blades and whatever else it takes to make a miniature turbine actually crank up.

“We provide a few of the critical components that are hard to make such as generators and rotors. But through good teaching the kids are on their own to design the blades and get it all together,” Grimm said.

Started as a non-profit organization, the program is grant funded by Tufts University of the Boston area. Initially lesson plans were the focus but that phased into the KidWind Challenge which was a wind turbine design competition.

See WIND, pg. 13A

Local workshops available Wind power grows in Iowa In the last six years, they’ve trained more than 4,000 teachers in 39 states.

In 2010, KidWind launched their WindWise Education program, an innovative sixth through 12th grade curriculum that prepares teachers with the gear, lessons and knowledge they need to bring wind energy science to the classroom. They also have developed special solar and hydrogen energy kits designed for hands-on experiments.

The WindWise package includes: • Standards-based lessons related to physics, ecology, math and social studies; • Assessment tools for each activity that measure student learning; • Real-world situations, live data and career profiles highlighting future opportunities and challenges.

Call (877) 917-0079 or log on to www.kidwind.org for more information. ❖

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Wind energy is showing growth in Iowa.

Iowa Lakes Electric Cooperative spokesman Kirby Berhow said they have constructed 14 GE 1.5 megawatt wind turbines in their eight-county northwest Iowa territory. These turbines service two ethanol facilities served by Iowa Lakes.

“We got into this four years ago and so far it’s been a good fit for our cooperative,” Berhow said of the co-op based in Estherville, Iowa.

Net metering for smaller on-farm turbines up to 50 Kw works with Iowa Electric. In Minnesota the net metering limit is still 39.9 Kw but there is growing pressure to raise that up to at least 50 Kw. Net metering simply permits the metering of the electricity produced by that small on-farm turbine into the local utility and thus offsetting the monthly electrical charge accordingly.

Small, on-farm turbines are gradually gaining momentum, Berhow said, suggesting they need to get more reliable and more affordable especially since U.S. Department of Agriculture grant money is questionable for future financial aid. “Some low-interest money, or credits through federal programs, need to happen to make this feasible for most farm investments,” he said.

Unless and/or until a Production Tax Credit comes into place, he doesn’t foresee a leap-frog expansion of rural wind power in Iowa. “But it’s going to continue to build. It has to because electrical demands keep increasing and wind is such an environmentally clean source of energy. It means an upgrading of transmission lines. That perhaps is the key issue in more wind energy development these days,” Berhow said.

Berhow and Iowa Lakes Electric Cooperative participated in the Wind Energy Day at the Clay County Fair in Spencer, Iowa. ❖

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 28, 2012

WIND, from pg. 12A “Students came up with unique ways they could make turbines from items found at local hardware stores, hobby shops, etc. Over the years that has grown into a national event so at any given time we may have 10 to 15 area competitions under way all across the country,” Grimm said.

The KidWind team does demonstrations at schools upon request but leans more on teacher/training workshops to better expedite the limited time of the staff.

“So if a school district or an entire community wants to get teachers and students involved in wind energy, we provide all the equipment and curriculum necessary to train a whole group of teachers within a given district, or community,” Grimm said.

He said the more people you get educated about wind energy the more acceptance there is of this energy source.

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer It’s called the Chuckwagon Races, but perhaps a better tag is the Chuckwagon Stampede.

If you’ve got a hankering for action, this year’s Clay County Fair served it up big time, with horse racing at its wildest. Eight chuckwagon outfits — all members of the Chuckwagon Racers of Iowa-Minnesota but each individually owned and maintained — competed for the prize money. This is a race against the clock to the finish line and such spills and mix-ups you have never seen before.

According to the website of the Chuckwagon Racers of Iowa-Minnesota: Chuckwagon rules are based on the famous Calgary Stampede in Alberta, Canada. That means starting with a regulation farm wagon weighing at least 1,325 pounds with the driver in the seat. The wagon is equipped with canvas cover and flap

which extends at least eight feet out from the rear end of the wagon with poles six feet long attached to form a tent. A stove is also included to make a complete chuckwagon camp.

The chuckwagon is pulled by four spirited horses which provide the driver a superb test of skill and driving ability. Each wagon also has four outriders, each mounted on a swift saddle horse.

The guys and gals who get involved in this whacky sport seem to be regular folk with regular jobs during the week. On the weekends, however, they hitch up and race chuckwagons. Considered a risky sport by most, participants apparently just grin and bear it, and pray to God that no one gets hurt.

“Every minute we can shave off the time it takes to trace contaminated products and get them off the shelves means fewer people getting sick,” Kassenborg said. “These proposals are focused on developing and sharing processes that improve

information flow during a foodborne illness investigation, and we believe that will translate into better food safety for people around the country.”

The Minnesota Department of Agriculture recently learned that it has won $600,000 in grants from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to enhance the state’s food safety capabilities.

19 A

MDA Commissioner Dave Frederickson said the grants will be a welcome boost for the Minnesota food safety model, which has come to be regarded as a national leader.

In its grant application, the MDA proposed to explore the use of web-based technologies to improve the flow of information between the food industry and regulatory agencies. This approach is expected to accelerate food investigations and recalls, meaning that fewer people will be at risk from contaminated products.

According to the MDA Dairy and Food Division Director Heidi Kassenborg, the grant award also enables the MDA to share its project innovations with food safety officials across the country.

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

“Minnesota has developed a national reputation for leadership in food safety thanks to a strong collaboration between the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, the Minnesota Department of Health, the University of Minnesota, and our federal and local partners,” Frederickson said. “We are grateful for these grants because they will further strengthen our food safety capabilities here and across the country.”

Tips to make arthritis manageable Few diagnoses can create such a transition from the routine in life, as does arthritis. Activities such as sports, traveling and driving are often too painful to continue, and realizing the physical limitations can be disappointing.

Being a caregiver in times such as this can be a stressful situation, but here are some tips that may allow the caregiver to alleviate their loved one’s emotional and physical pain associated with arthritis.

• Become as educated as possible with the conditions of arthritis and be knowledgeable on any new treatment options available.

• Because arthritis usually affects the hands first, writing may be more difficult for them, but finding the right balance of comfort may only require a small triangle cushion found in many office supply stores.

• Pill reminders can reduce the stress of taking pain medication throughout the day.

• Do not let your loved one sit idle and resting for long periods of time, as they may become stiff and in pain when they begin moving. Instead, make sure they move around at least a little bit each hour to create blood flow and movement in the legs and arms.

• Just because your loved one may not be able to do the activities they enjoyed doing in years past, involving them in your life and your family’s may provide that rewarding feeling of participation again.

lift easier.

• In the kitchen, use lightweight dishware and cups with handles when they are eating.

• Do not be afraid to attend arthritis support groups that can help caregivers adjust emotionally and better understand the condition.

• Register you and your loved one for a Chronic Disease Self-Management Workshop “Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions” to help you and your loved one learn how to manage their chronic conditions.

Service dogs undergo screening Although most people have pets strictly for companionship, those with disabilities often use animals to help perform everyday functions.

These “service animals” are trained to provide specific assistance tailored to their owner’s disability. Just like any animal, however, service animals can develop disabilities and need rehabilitation as well.

There are multiple types of service animals. For example, miniature horses are trained as guides for those who are visually impaired or in need of mobility assistance. Even Capuchin monkeys can be trained to help with daily tasks that require grasping and manual dexterity.

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

Dogs, however, remain the most common service animal. Service dogs are generally either rescued from shelters or bred in specific breeding programs. Although there is not a specific breed requirement for service dogs, most tend to be golden retrievers or Labrador retrievers.

One of the main determining factors for service dogs is size because they are expected to perform physical activities. Thus, most assistance dogs are of medium to large size.

While these special dogs are trained to provide a variety of tasks, the two most common jobs performed by service dogs are guiding the visually impaired or offering mobile support for the owner.

Some service dogs can also be trained to pick up objects, open doors, or operate light switches. In recent years, service dogs have even been trained

Amazingly, service dogs have been able to alert an epileptic person minutes, or even hours, before seizures.

Jacqueline Davidson, clinical professor at Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences’ Small Animal Hospital, said prior to dogs joining a service training program, they are screened for potential problems to ensure they are healthy enough to complete their duties.

“Generally, they are evaluated for congenital conditions, particularly relating to their vision or hearing,” Davidson said. “In addition, dogs that are of medium or large breeds are evaluated for dysplasia of the hips and elbows.

Joints may also be checked for other developmental diseases that could cause problems later in life.”

Davidson said that this screening process means that dogs trained as service animals are probably less likely to develop certain orthopedic problems as compared to those of the general population that are not always tested for these things.

She said that there have been no reported health risks directly related to service animals, but, as with companion animals, they can still develop health problems over time. If a service dog does develop a disability, through proper treatment the dog will be able to continue to serve.

“We occasionally treat a service dog that has developed a disability,” Davidson said. “But they often return to work after physical rehabilitation.”

mals require a certain level of physical ability to perform their jobs, they are expected to return to a higher level of function after surgery and rehabilitation than the average companion dog.

“Since service dogs have so many responsibilities, it’s important they make a full recovery before returning back to work,” said Davidson, a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation.

The dedication of the new college shows the importance placed on having experts in the field of rehabilitation for service animals. When service dogs are hurt, they cannot fulfill their jobs.

Through proper rehabilitation, however, the dogs can continue to serve their owners.

• Avoid self-medication. A “spoonful of sugar” may make the “medicine go down” but it does your body no good. Sugar, alcohol, nicotine and ice cream may all feel good going down, but they make matters worse from the inside. They add to your body’s physical stresses, thus making dealing with external stresses much harder.

• “Take time to smell the roses.” Have some fun. Breathe. Relax.

• Think about and do something for others. A little altruism never hurt. It even makes people feel better about themselves.

• Be the “captain of your ship.” If you are not happy with your life, think about what’s wrong or missing and then plan the necessary actions to change it to coincide with your needs and desires for your life.

Change is an expected part of our daily lives today. Dealing with it so that you control it rather than vice versa is an important and positive force in controlling your life. Try a few of these tips.

• Accept what you cannot change.

Take a tip from AA. Change what you can if it bothers you but if you cannot change it, learn to live with it.

• Face up to your problems. Sort them out, and see which ones are real and which are simply imagined. Deal with them as they are and not what you think they are.

• Deal with one problem at a time. Sort out your priorities and deal with them in the order of their importance to you.

• Be flexible. Give in once in a while.

If you do, others will, too.

• Don’t hold all of your worries inside yourself, talk it out. Frequently we swallow our unhappiness (along with candy, cake, ice cream, etc.) because we can’t let the problems out. Talk to someone. A burden shared is much less of a burden.

• Work off stress. Physical outlets for stress help your body to fight off many of the negative results of stress.

• Get enough rest/relaxation/sleep.

Give your body a chance to recover from day to day. Lack of sleep and rest

One click and you can see to read, cook, find your keys or avoid tripping over the cat. Chances are, in fact, turning on the lights is so automatic, you can find the switch without even thinking about it.

But think about this: who makes sure you have lights in the first place? The energy company?

Think again, then read the new book “Hidden America ” by Jeanne Marie Laskas.

Not-quite-standing in a mine shaft 500 feet beneath Ohio, Laskas had two epiphanies.

First, “Dude, this is ridiculous.” Then: her daily life was dependent on people like those miners. Without them — and their work in a $27 billion industry — there would be no electricity. How come she didn’t know that?

Humiliated, she decided to go in search of the people who make sure we have food, that it gets to the supermarket near our homes, and that our scraps disappear when we’re done. These are people, she says, “who, were they to walk off the job tomorrow, would bring life as we know it to a halt.”

She followed cowboys in Texas and learned that ranching has gone high-tech and that “designer” bulls make our meals tastier. She bought a gun in Arizona, went cross-country with an African-American female semi-driver, and took a ride in a Bomag over mounds of trash in California.

And in Alaska, while living on a man-made “island” in negative-38 degree weather, Laskas learned that total isolation is never total and that precognition can bring shivers quicker than can ice …

Oh, how I loved this book!

I loved it because Laskas sees things differently, with perfect curiosity. I loved it because she got dirty while she was learning about the people she chose to follow, and because she seemed to ultimately care deeply about them. I loved it because it taught me something important while it made me laugh.

French onion soup on the grill? Delicious with patience I think some of the best dishes are created when you apply flavors and infusions from the outdoor grill into classic recipes which are traditionally prepared indoors.

This week’s column covers such a dish, and frankly, one of my favorites.

The atmosphere of autumn reminds us of comfort foods, and one primary genre of comfort foods is soup. This French onion soup recipe is smoky, hearty and cheesy, and most importantly, classically simple to prepare if patience is observed. The key is how patient you are with the onions.

First, set up the grill with indirect heat. As you know by now, my approach is to use a hickory log as the divider which keeps the hot coals on one side. As the log slowly smolders it will provide the smoky infusion for which we are looking. The other alter-

native is to sprinkle coals with hickory chips, or if you are using a gas grill, use a smoke box with your favorite wood.

6 to 8 large yellow onions 4 to 6 slices of french bread 2 to 3 Tbs. of butter 1 Tbs. olive oil 1 Tbs. flour 3 cans of beef broth (each can is 14.5 oz.)

2/3 cup water 2/3 cup dry red wine 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Salt and pepper to taste Cut the onions in half and place on the side of the grill that is opposite the coals along with the french bread.

Cover with lid and allow to smoke for 30 minutes. Remove the smoked onions and french bread and allow to cool.

Thinly slice the onions and set aside.

Heat the butter and oil over medium

heat in a large pan. Add the onions and sauté until a medium caramel brown.

This step is very important, as most people do not cook the onions long enough to achieve the color.

This step will take a minimum of 20 to 30 minutes, stirring frequently. That is what achieves the sweetness of the soup.

Once the caramel-brown color is achieved, add the flour and stir for another two minutes. Add the water and stir until well blended. Now add the wine and the beef broth. Bring to a

No evidence yet of invasive carp in river system CROSS, from pg. 29A Until three of four years ago, the surveys were done on a less regular basis. More recently, the surveys intended to measure the health and diversity of the river’s fish populations have become an annual event.

“We now do them every year to get better data on the overall health of the fish populations,” he said.

By doing the surveys every year, he said, trends and patterns in fish populations can be more easily detected.

“Especially as we see more land-use changes, we’re trying to measure how those land-use changes affect the fishery in the river.”

The threat of invasive species such as the big-headed carp finding their way into Minnesota River system also is an added impetus to doing annual surveys.

“We haven’t seen any evidence of them yet,” he said.

With myriad species lurking in the stained river waters, traditional hookand-line Minnesota River anglers are never quite sure what they might catch.

Likewise for the electro-fishermen.

Dozens of species turned belly-up in the shallow water as the DNR crew attempted to negotiate the channel made shallow after months of drought.

Notably absent on this survey stretch, however, were the largest

Twenty-pound specimens are routinely caught by catfish anglers who pursue them with a passion. Thirtypounders barely raised eyebrows in serious catfishing circles.

Several of the long-lived behemoths were captured at other sites during the surveys, however.

Anglers will be interested to know that the largest flathead — a 50-incher that was too big to weigh — was caught by the electro-fishing crew at the confluence of the Minnesota and Blue Earth rivers at Mankato.

“Pretty close to a state record,” Domeier speculated.

One of the most unexpected catches — a braggin’-sized tiger muskie — also was netted by the crew, again at the Minnesota-Blue Earth River confluence.

Both were released and presumably still lurk in the area.

After being measured, weighed and checked for deformities, most of the fish netted near Redwood Falls also were released.

However, some of the nicer specimens first would be making a temporary sidetrip to the Lac qui Parle County Fair to be displayed in the popular fish exhibit before being returned to the Minnesota River.

One of the biggest walleyes made the supreme sacrifice. It was slipped into a cooler to eventually be shipped to St. Paul for testing for contamination levels.

That data would be plugged into the fish consumption guidelines issued annually by the Minnesota Department of Health.

“The catch today was a pretty typical mixture of species,” Domeier said, as the three men worked their way through some 70 fish, recording the data of every one, right down to the minnows.

After compiling the species, size and relative health of fish captured, the survey section is scored — the higher, the better.

Domeir said that the section of the river surveyed in Bloomington at the 35W bridge typically has received the highest score of the 16 river sections, mainly because of the numbers, diversity and health of the fish captured.

With all of the river sections surveyed, all that will remain will be compiling the numbers and comparing them with numbers gathered in earlier surveys.

“Over time, you can get a nice trend set of data and an idea of what’s going on out there,” Domeier said.

Porcelain passion

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondent Richard Siemers

ennie Malinski is 82 R years old and stands only 4-foot, 5-inches tall,

but when it comes to china painting she is a match for anyone.

You can meet Malinski and see her beautifully decorated china at Rennie’s China Closet and Arts in downtown Litchfield, Minn., where she sells her hand-painted porcelain.

The seeds of her current work were there from the start. They just took a while to grow. As a 5-yearold she loved to go to her Aunt Ida’s house and color with scraps of Crayons.

“I always drew flowers around a house or English cottage,” she said.

But the painting had to wait a while. Rennie grew up on a farm, milking cows, and she married a truck driver, Harold Malinski. They started farming and rented land for 25 years until they bought their own farm at Grove City. In addition to being a farmwife, Rennie was a restaurant cook, then worked as a nurse’s aide, and became a licensed practical nurse. Yet painting was never far from her heart. She even carried around a “10 painting lessons for $10” magazine coupon that she never used.

During a visit to the Minnesota State Fair she saw someone painting china, and decided it was time to act. She had one day off each week and used it to drive into the Twin Cities and take lessons from a china painter. That was in 1975.

In 1978 she and Harold moved into Litchfield and she kept painting. In 2003 she opened her shop, selling her work along with the

work of other area artists.

If it’s porcelain, she will paint it — plates, cups, saucers, hat pin holders, vases, doll dishes, angels, bells, crosses, even piggy banks.

She has also painted ostrich and emu eggs. It doesn’t stop with the painting. She has her own kiln for the multiple firings each piece requires.

One thing hasn’t changed since she was a child — her favorite subjects are still flowers and birds.

It took a while before Rennie Malinski got started painting, but she has made up for it with hundreds of beautiful pieces of handpainted china. If she has her way, there are many more pieces to come.

“I’m not quitting until I can’t paint,” she said.

Rennie’s China Closet and Arts is at 215 South Sibley in downtown Litchfield. ❖

The following market analysis is for the week ending Sept. 21.

CORN — The agony in the soybean market this week spilled over to the corn pit as harvest progress accelerated.

Yield reports have been mixed and variability across fields has been extreme.

In some cases, 100-bushel differences in the same field have been reported.

Making a generalization about yields in even a relatively small area is difficult this year, but many may be expecting a small increase on the next U.S. Department of Agriculture PHYLLIS NYSTROM report.

St. Paul Chatter of more acres cut for silage this year than initially expected would be at least one reason that overall yield could be raised. This will be important to what the harvested acreage number turns out to be also. The Farm Service Agency released certified acreage figures this week which indicated planted acres of 93.75 million acres.

“Usually” FSA acres are 2.5 million to 3.0 million lower than the final planted acreage number. If this proves true this year, planted acres would verify the USDA’s last estimate of 96.4 million planted acres.

However, the looming question regarding acreage is what percentage will actually be harvested for grain.

In years of short crops the percentage harvested/planted usually runs closer to 88 percent rather than the 90.7 percent the USDA is currently using. If you use 88 percent of 96.4 million planted

The seasons are not the only thing changing in the latter half of September. It appears that both the cattle and the hog markets are in the midst of some changes in the matter of direction.

The cattle market, after several weeks of moving higher, has run into some resistance near the $130 per hundredweight level basis Midwest cash and futures. Resistance can also be found in the boxed beef market; volume in the boxed beef trade has been extremely light as the beef cutout moved over the $190/cwt. level.

This area has been a barrier for quite some time and, with competitive meats at a large discount to the beef and the economy still JOE TEALE struggling, more retail emphasis Broker is turning away from beef and to Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. other meats.

There has been a long-standing argument that the supply of cattle is on the decline and therefore cattle prices will continue to rise into next year. On the other side of the coin is the fact that demand will dictate the final price that will be paid for cattle.

The old adage of one steer can be one steer too many would still apply in the marketplace today.

Until a major change in the economy or competitive meats rally to a point they are no longer at a deep discount to beef, cattle are likely to stay in a range with a ceiling of $130/cwt. to $115/cwt. basis the Midwest. Producers should continue to monitor the market and protect inventories when needed.

The hog market appears to be in the midst of changing direction from down to up. After several

The weather remains dry for much of the Midwest.

This allows harvest to progress at a record pace, filling the pipeline with grain and oilseeds. For the most part yields have been better than many expected. It will be interesting to see what the final yield numbers become. As Grandpa always told me, “it isn’t a crop until it’s in the bin.”

This past week I attended the Soy and Grain Trade Summit.

This is a meeting that attracts people from all around the world to come together sharing news and information about the soy and grain trade. There were many people from the Pacific Rim countries of China, Thailand, Vietnam and Japan. Attendees TOM NEHER were also from Africa, Eastern AgStar VP & Team Leader Europe and the former Soviet — Grain Industry Union. It is sort of like going to Rochester, Minn. the United Nations for soy and grain, with a bank of interpreters in the back of the room. Many of the attendees were wearing ear pieces which allowed them to hear the interpretations.

I like to attend this meeting, because it reminds me that we are truly in a globalized market. It helps me not to get stuck in thinking that what happens out my backdoor is what will affect the markets. I believe that we here in the United States think that we have the corner on the world market and that we can dictate our will on our export customers. It is easy for us to think that we have monopolized the world’s business and entrepreneurial spirit. It was good to meet and visit with people from around the world that would challenge this notion. We are in a competitive and dynamic global market that will require us to

Bears have control of soybeans upon yield reports soybeans versus 17 percent sold on average.

Weekly export sales commitments for the current marketing year have reached 75 percent of the USDA forecast when usually we have pre-sold 25 percent. The market has a tremendous rationing job to do.

This week’s sales were strong at 26.2 million bushels.

Updated estimates from Informa Economics were released this week with the following 2012 updates versus USDA September estimates: planted acres 77.143 (76.1), harvested acres 75.698 (74.6), yield 35.2 bu./acre (35.3), production 2.632 billion bushels (2.634). For 2013 they are forecasting 79.9 million planted acres with production of 3.449 billion bushels based on a yield of 43.8 bu./acre.

OUTLOOK: Money has left the building and harvest reports betterthan-expected yields upon us, giving the bears control. Technically, November soybeans fell below their 50-day moving average, which now becomes first resistance at $16.62 as of the close on Sept. 21.

The trade’s focus will then turn to South American weather — Brazil planting may begin by the end of the month — and whether Chinese demand continues.

Nystrom’s notes: The USDA announced they will release major grain reports at 11 a.m. Central beginning in January. Contract changes for the week ending Sept. 21: December Minneapolis wheat down 20 1/4 cents, Chicago wheat off 27 cents and Kansas City fell 21 3/4 cents. Crude oil dropped $6.44 or 6 1/2 percent of value to $92.89, heating oil plummeted nearly 9 cents, gasoline was down 7 1/4 cents and natural gas dropped 5 3/4 cents. The Grain Stocks as of Sept. 1 report will be released on Sept. 28. The contract with dockworkers in the Pacific Northwest expires Sept. 30, a strike is anticipated.

soybean market this week with a 70-cent limit move lower to start the week in spite of a sale of 210,000 metric tons of U.S. beans to an unknown destination (probably the rumored Chinese business last week).

Funds exited the bean and meal sectors. November soybeans traded from the last week’s high (Sept. 14) of $17.65 3/4 to this week’s low of $16.07 1/2, a range of $1.58 1/4 per bushel.

They settled at $16.21 3/4, a weekly decline of $1.17 1/4 per bushel and one of the largest one-week drops recorded.

There wasn’t any main headline that precipitated the collapse, but rather a “perfect storm” of fund liquidation (albeit month- and quarter-end are two weeks away), reports of betterthan-expected yields, the possibility of higher planted acreage than estimated and Chinese issues. The concerns over China include reports they will increase the frequency of sales of reserve beans and a slowing economy.

Funds were big sellers of soybeans and meal which tipped the market initially. Open interest, however, did not show any significant change, which indicated that ownership switched from passive long funds to commercial ownership. Early yield indications with 10 percent of the harvest complete as of Sept. 16 have been marginally better than expectations even a few weeks ago. If yields were expected to be dismal, they have been; if they were expected to be just OK, reports are coming in “better than expected.”

There have been few reports thus far of a lot worse than forecasted.

How high may the October USDA report yield be? In years when we saw the largest September-to-January increases, the September-to-October increase was 2 or more bushels per acre. The biggest jump in bean yields from the September to January report was in 2004 when it was raised 4 bu./acre.

The FSA data released this week suggest planted soybean acreage could be nearly one million acres higher on the October report. In October the USDA pegged planted bean acreage at 76.1 million acres.

Brazil received some needed precipitation during the week, alleviating some concerns about the dry conditions. They could definitely use more moisture before planting, so this will continue to be a topic of concern.

Celeres is estimating the Brazilian farmers have sold 46 percent of 2013

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 28, 2012

NYSTROM, from pg. 2B acres it equates to 84.832 million harvested acres. Yield can increase to 126.45 before production of 10.727 billion bushels is affected.

Harvest was 26 percent complete as of Sept. 16 and should progress rapidly in nearly ideal conditions. As of Sept.

23, harvest is estimated to reach 35 percent complete. Illinois was the furthest along last week at 36 percent, Nebraska 23 percent, Iowa 22 percent, Indiana 17 percent and Minnesota 12 percent complete.

Ethanol plants that had been closed due to poor margins are coming back online. Valero reported facilities in Ohio and Nebraska were back in production on improving/breakeven margins. As long as ethanol is a significant discount to gasoline (67 cents discount on the board presently), demand for ethanol will continue. Weekly ethanol production was 245 million gallons, the largest in 11 weeks, with stocks of 812 million gallons, the largest since July.

The Buenos Aires Cereals Exchange is pegging Argentine corn planting at 5 percent complete versus 7.7 percent last year.

Weekly export corn sales were disappointing at 2.8 million bushels, keeping exports at 33 percent lower than last year.

Informa Economics updated their acreage/production/yield estimates for 2012 and 2013 this week. Here are the 2012 results with the USDA September numbers: planted acreage 97.172 million acres (96.4), harvested acres 87.657 million (87.4), production 11.093 billion bushels (10.727), yield 126.6 bushels per acre (122.8 bu./acre).

For 2013 they are pegging 97.5 million planted acres, 14.63 billion bushels of production based on a yield of 162.2 bu./acre.

OUTLOOK: Corn suffered significant fund liquidation this week and could see additional pressure from harvest activity. Corn is a domestic market with our exports uncompetitive. Looking ahead, ethanol margins have improved to where closed plants are coming back online and export sales are adequate.

Have we really done enough rationing for the balance of the year?

Time will tell, but I would be cautious in doing so. December corn closed down 33 3/4 cents for the week at $7.48 1/4 per bushel.

Pork movement good over past 30 days TEALE, from pg. 2B months of declining prices the hog market seems to have finally exhausted itself just under the $70/area cwt. basis lean.

Product movement over the past 30 days has been good as the pork cutouts fell over $30/cwt. in the past few months.

The massive marketing of hogs and particularly the sows seems to finally be abating. With numbers decreasing, this should create a positive lift for hog prices. Packers continue to keep slaughter numbers up as profit margins are extremely good at the present time.

With the inventories of pork in storage at lofty levels, it will retard the recovery in live prices initially until this excess product is moved. More than likely a trading range will initially develop over the next several weeks, awaiting the clearance of the excess pork, before any further recovery is seen in live prices.

It will also take the pork cutouts to strengthen for the packers to stay aggressive in accumulating live inventory during that time. The futures market has now moved from a deep discount to a large premium over the index, and is now providing opportunities for producers to lock-in inventories if so desired. ❖

NEHER, from pg. 2B stay focused on financial and operational management.

It was clear to me that many of those attending were interested in feed ingredients. As more people in these developing countries move to the middle class, they strive to improve their diets by adding more protein. It was clear to me that these savvy entrepreneurs were not interested in just importing the finished product. They want to be a part of the agricultural production chain, by producing as much of their own meat as possible.

The impact of the world weather was top-of-mind this year, as many of the major growing areas have been dry this last year, with the exception of China.

Long-term forecasts presented at this meeting suggested that another dry year was entirely possible. If this were to be the case, the global marketplace will be inundated with volatility as the rationing makes the cruel cuts in demand.

It was clear to me after visiting with many of the attendees at this meeting, that they were a “scrappy” group that would find a way to become successful.

There is nothing like a little hardship to temper one’s resolve and determination to succeed. How much tempering had the U.S. grain producer received the last few years? Those who have experienced this year’s drought may have a jump on those who are harvesting a good crop. Careful management of bounty is a grain angle to keep in mind. ❖

Cattle Production Veterinarian Hall of Fame inductees announced of the first milk-quality programs in the nation.

In 1967, Jarrett returned to private practice and established a dairy-production consulting business serving Georgia and the surrounding states. Not long after he started, Jarrett’s expertise and talents were being sought across the country and around the world.

When the call for nominations was announced, Keith Sterner, former colleague and retired veterinarian, from Ionia, Mich., immediately thought of Jarrett as a candidate.

“Dr. Jarrett left a very large footprint in the industry through his promotion of veterinarians and contributions to dairy production medicine,” Sterner said. “He was an excellent role model and an example for the industry.”

Jarrett’s leadership spanned several organizations including the World Buiatrics Association, American Veterinary Medical Association and AABP. He served as AABP president, as well as its executive vice president for more than 15 years.

Jarrett received many awards, including AABP Practitioner of the Year, the Amstutz-Williams Award (AABP’s highest honor) and Georgia Veterinary Medical Association Veterinarian of the Year.

The Cattle Production Veterinarian Hall of Fame was established in 2011 to celebrate the rich traditions of production veterinary medicine by honoring the exceptional men and women who have made lasting contributions to the veterinary profession. The award winners will join inaugural inductees Harold Amstutz and Dan Upson in the hall of fame. ❖

A former colleague, Larry Corah from Manhattan, Kan., nominated Herrick for the award due to his prominence as an extension veterinarian.

“Dr. Herrick was ahead of his time in the profession and an early advocate for pre-conditioning cattle,” Corah said. “He was an excellent veterinarian, and everyone respected him personally and professionally.”

During his career, Herrick spent time in more than 40 organizations nationally and internationally, eight of which he was a founding member. He was a past president of the American Veterinary Medical Association, Iowa Veterinary Medical Association and the American Association of Extension Veterinarians.

Until his death in 2007, Herrick spent his retirement years as an animal-health consultant in Paradise Valley, Ariz.

Jim Jarrett 2012 dairy inductee Jarrett was a widely-known expert in milk quality, dairy nutrition and reproductive management. He co-founded the AABP Quality Milk Pre-conference Seminar and was active in many organizations during his career.

During the last 60 years, the dairy has seen numerous changes; moving from Washington to Idaho, and then again from Idaho to Iowa in 2008. With each move, the dairy expanded.

It is now home to 3,800 cows with a rolling herd average of 28,000 pounds.

The farm has a relatively small land base of 260 tillable acres. By contracting their corn silage but maintaining control of the harvest, they better control quality. With high-quality forages, VanEss Dairy is able to lower the amount of flaked corn and soybean meal and ultimately lower overall feed costs.

An added benefit of a high forage ration is cow health, resulting in a consistently low somatic cell count.

Working closely with their nutritionist to maximize ration energy, they develop a fresh cow ration for the cows 25 days in milk or less and a second ration for all other lactating cows.

In 2008, VanEss Dairy was honored with the Venture Award given by the Iowa Area Development Group.

Dockendorf Dairy, a Watkins, Minn., dairy with 130 cows that recently transitioned to Lely’s automatic milking system, will share the story of their research, preparation and transition to automatic milking during a virtual farm tour at 12 p.m. on Oct. 5.

“We invite attendees at this year’s World Dairy Expo to gain firsthand insights from the Dockendorf family regarding their transition to robotic milking, as well detailed information regarding how they prepared their herd, their operation and their family for the transition to automatic milking,” said Peter Langebeeke, president of Lely North America.

“Dockendorf Dairy is an excellent example of how embracing the future through robotic milking can offer more flexibility, more control and more laborefficiencies, and the family offers a tremendous resource to World Dairy Expo attendees who have their own questions regarding automatic milking.”

Dockendorf Dairy’s 130-head operation currently has a rolling herd average of 25,000 pounds. Along with the addition of the Lely Astronaut robotic milking system in 2011, Dockendorf Dairy incorporated Lely’s Juno automatic feed pusher and Discovery mobile barn cleaner on their operation, offering constant feed availability and a flexible and complete solution for cow housing hygiene.

This year’s World Dairy Expo virtual farm tour lineup will showcase a variety of dairy management topics, including dairy automation, nutrition optimization, environmental stewardship, mating decisions, financial management, unique marketing, dairy expansion and milk quality. A full schedule of virtual farm tours is available at www.worlddairyexpo.com.

All of the virtual farm tours will take place in the Exhibition Hall in Mendota 1 meeting room and are free to attend. Questions will be welcomed at the end of the presentation. Video of the virtual farm tours will be available following the show by logging on to www.worlddairyexpo.com. ❖

• Provide spaces for subordinate sows to flee and hide from dominant sows in the pen.

• Form static groups. Once sows are mixed, do not add sows to the pen.

• Avoid slippery or broken floors. The pen should have dry, even and nonslippery floors to avoid leg injuries caused by fighting.

the pen and make young sows the majority in the pen.

• Mix sows after feeding. Since limitfed gestating sows fight for feed, aggressive interactions increase at feeding time.

• Feed sows unlimited high fiber diets during the period of mixing. Sows with free access to feed containing high fiber content are less aggressive than limit-fed sows.

• Consider boar intervention. Boars can suppress aggression among sows either due to the dominant status of the boar or the sexual distraction.

• Increase group size. Although there is no optimal group size for minimizing aggression, sows in large groups have fewer fights per sow than small groups. It is possible that sows cannot form a social hierarchy in large pens due to too many pen mates. In addition, large groups are associated with large pens, which may allow subordinate sows to flee from fights or perform submissive behavior.

With major pork buyers like McDonald’s, Hormel and Safeway announcing plans to move toward gestation stallfree suppliers, Minnesota hog farmers may be exploring group housing options.

Research through University of Minnesota Extension and the University of Minnesota West Central Research and Outreach Center at Morris, Minn., has uncovered the factors most likely to lead to success in group housing systems.

Unfamiliar sows fight for dominant status when mixed in a group.

Since competition among sows is inevitable, management strategies should focus on minimizing competition and social stress for individual sows in a group.

• Mix sows five weeks after breeding. Sows are less aggressive once pregnant compared with non-pregnant sows. In addition, aggression between two and three weeks after breeding can result in loss of embryos, which may cause reproductive failure.

• Mix sows that were housed in the same group during the last gestation.

Sows can remember their pen mates after a separation of four to six weeks, and will fight less when housed with sows they remember.

• Sort by similar ages/sizes. Young sows are less aggressive than mature sows and suffer fewer injuries when housed separately.

• When young sows have to be mixed with older sows, introduce a group of young sows that know each other to

Under the president’s leadership, these investments in housing, community facilities, businesses and infrastructure have empowered rural America to continue leading the way — strengthening America’s economy, small towns and rural communities. The USDA’s investments in rural communities support the rural way of life that stands as the backbone of our American values. Obama and Vilsack are committed to a smarter use of federal resources to foster sustainable economic prosperity and ensure the government is a strong partner for businesses, entrepreneurs and working families in rural communities.

The USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, administers and manages housing, business and community infrastructure programs through a national network of state and local offices.

Rural Development has an active portfolio of more than $172 billion in loans and loan guarantees.

$21.5 million loan to build and improve 220 miles of distribution line and make other system improvements. Edgecombe-Martin County Electric Membership Corp., which serves a rural area in the northeastern part of North Carolina, will receive a $6.4 million loan. Due to its location, the borrower is susceptible to extreme storm conditions, including hurricanes and Northeasters. The firm will use about $1 million of the loan to install automatic meters.

The following is a list of rural utilities in Minnesota and Iowa that will receive USDA funding, which is contingent upon the recipient meeting the terms of the loan agreement.

Minnesota • Stearns Cooperative Electric Association: $23.654 million loan. The cooperative will improve 147 miles of distribution line and make other system improvements. The loan amount includes $974,085 in smart grid projects.

• Agralite Electric Cooperative: $5.159 million loan. Funds will be used to build and improve 61 miles of distribution line and make other system improvements. The loan amount includes $180,968 in smart grid projects.

Missouri/Iowa • Northeast Missouri Electric Power Cooperative: $30.093 million loan. Funds will be used to build and improve 24 miles of transmission line, build three new substations and make other improvements. The loan amount includes $500,000 in smart grid projects.

The $269 million in loan guarantees announced are provided by the USDA Rural Development’s Rural Utilities Service. The funding helps electric

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 28, 2012

Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture has reached its $250 million goal to finance smart grid technologies, a key component of President Obama’s effort to help modernize our nation’s electric system. Vilsack also announced nine rural electric cooperatives and utilities in 10 states will receive loan guarantees to make improvements to generation and transmission facilities and implement smart grid technologies.

“Grid modernization and deployment of ‘smart grid’ technology will increase the reliability and efficiency of electric power generation,” Vilsack said.

“Providing reliable, affordable electrical service contributes to stronger rural economies and is the backbone for a prosperous rural America. These loans will help ensure that rural areas can retain existing businesses, support new ones and have reliable, upto-date infrastructure.”

As part of President Obama’s Blueprint for a Secure Energy Future, the administration has outlined a framework for a modernized electric system that will benefit all Americans. This framework lays out a number of public and private initiatives, including a goal of $250 million in loans for smartgrid technology deployment as part of the USDA’s Rural Utility Service, which is focused on upgrading the electric grid in rural America.

With the announcement of more than $27 million in smart grid investments, the USDA has met President Obama’s goal and has further enabled rural utilities to make efficiency improvements to the electric grid that will help consumers lower their electric bills by reducing energy use in homes and businesses.

Vilsack said this $250 million investment in loan funds for smart grid technologies means infrastructure investment at virtually no cost to the taxpayer.

These technologies will facilitate the integration of renewable sources of electricity into the grid, help avoid blackouts and restore power quicker when outages occur, and reduce the need for new power plants. Smart grid technologies also provide a foundation for innovation by entrepreneurs and others who can develop tools to empower consumers and help them make informed decisions. A first generation of innovative consumer products and services — such as thermostats that can be controlled from a smart phone, or websites that show how much energy a house is using — can continue to help Americans save money on their electricity bills.

Vilsack made the announcement during a tour of North Carolina’s Piedmont Electric Membership Corporation, which received a $30,000,000 guaranteed loan from the USDA to extend its system by 52 miles and help provide service to about 1,000 new member consumers. The cooperative will also increase capacity for 100 current consumers and improve the reliability of about 40 miles of line. The cooperative installed a new automated meter system with funds from a previous loan and will invest approximately $150,000 of the funds from this new loan on new AMI meters for the 1,000 new member consumers.

Vilsack also announced that two other cooperatives in North Carolina will receive loan guarantees.

The Wergin Good Farm Neighbor award, made possible through the financial support of the Coalition to Support Iowa’s Farmers, recognizes Iowa livestock farmers who take pride in doing things right. This includes caring for the environment and their livestock and being good neighbors. It is named in memory of Gary Wergin, a long-time WHO Radio farm broadcaster who helped create the award.

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 28, 2012

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey announced that Mike Marshall from Clarion in Wright County has been named the September winner of the “Gary Wergin Good Farm Neighbor Award.”

Iowa Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Jay Johnson will present the award to Marshall on Sept. 28 at the Marshall home in Clarion. The “Big Show,” which airs on both WHO and WMT radio, will broadcast live from the presentation from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Sept. 28.

“It is great to be able to recognize a livestock farmer like Mike who is not only passionate about caring for his animals, but who is also going above and beyond to help young people get started in agriculture,” Northey said. “In addition to caring for his animals and taking care of the land, Mike is active in his community and regularly goes out of his way to be a good neighbor.”

Marshall custom feeds cattle for Cyclone Trace Cattle company and also feeds some of his own cattle and has 250 acres of row crops. He also allows 4-H students to use his facilities for livestock projects. Marshall is also the operations manager at the Clarion Co-op.

Kyle Frink, Marshall’s step-son, nominated him for this award. “I am nominating him because I see the hard work he puts in everyday to better the neighborhood. He is on call 24/7 for his community and is willing to lend a hand to whoever needs it,” Frink said in nominating Marshall for the award.

Marshall is also involved with the Wright County Fair. In addition to helping 4-H students with their projects, he helps with weigh-in and works the show ring at the fair. He is also a bidder for the Clarion area buyers group at the fair sale. “He is very passionate about kids staying involved in livestock and farming

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
