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. 21 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. Mike Handzus Lakefield, Minn.

Commentary: Maximize safety this harvest season

OPINION

ment of Public Safety, crashes involving farm vehicles and equipment are rare. However, when they do happen they can result in serious injuries and death. Of the more than 175,000 people involved in crashes 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. This commentary was submitted by Minnesota Department of Agriculture Commissioner Dave Frederickson. ❖

INSIDE THIS ISSUE:

Of all the potential hazards associated with work on and around farms and agricultural facilities, some of the biggest risks are associated with animal handling, grain storage, and accidents involving farm equipment and machinery.

THE LAND, OCTOBER 5, 2012

Harvest season is a culmination of more than a year of planning, hard work and patience. It’s an exciting time for farmers, but it can also be a dangerous time. We received a tragic reminder of that danger recently when a worker died in a grain entrapment incident in Waseca County. Dave Frederickson Our hearts go out to the family of that young man, and to all families who’ve had to deal with such tragedies. I also pray that we have no more incidents of injury or death on our farms or agricultural facilities. To that end, National Farm Safety and Health Week (observed this year from Sept. 16-22) was a timely opportunity for all of us to give some extra thought to ways we can stay safe this harvest season. Of all the potential hazards associated with work on and around farms and agricultural facilities, some of the biggest risks are associated with animal handling, grain storage, and accidents involving farm equipment and machinery. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, 9,479 farmers and farm workers died from work-related injuries in the United States between 1992 and 2009. The leading cause of death for these workers was tractor overturns, accounting for more than 90 deaths annually. The Labor Department also reports that about 243 agricultural workers suffer lost-work-time injury every day, and 5 percent of these injuries result in permanent impairment. Another potential danger we may not always consider is the risk to farmers and motorists when slowmoving farm machinery is moving on rural roads this time of year. According to the Minnesota Depart-

The farm bill gamble is one Boehner didn’t want to risk A long, bitter year in the long, bitter Congressional session drifted into the campaign season with the U.S. House of Representatives unable or unwilling to butter the softest piece of legislative toast before them, the 2012 farm bill. Speaker of the House John Boehner attempted to telegraph that likely outcome two months ago as Congress ran out of town for its August recess. That he couldn’t organize his caucus for a farm bill vote at the height of a devastating drought was a surprise. A far bigger surprise was Boehner’s failure to organize his members for a farm bill vote after the recess’ five weeks of jabbering and jawboning. Are we to believe that the Speaker of the House is so powerless in his own caucus that he cannot pat enough

knees or twist enough arms to pass a pretty bipartisan, mostly non-controversial farm bill that would likely benefit every GOP candidate in every reliably red state in rural America this November? Not likely; the Speaker could have steamrollered a vote. In fact, if the conservative wing of his caucus wanted more cuts to food assistance programs — a claim they made in denouncing the House ag committee’s 10-year cut of $16.5 billion from food stamps in the bill’s $969 billion of overall spending — Boehner could have delivered that chance through the amendment process during floor action. But he didn’t. Why? One explanation is that any move to alter the ag committee’s bill on the House floor faced a coalescing wall of

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. “We write a special curriculum for teachers and design our special wind projects in St. Paul which we then make

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. “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 teachSee WIND, pg. 11

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 coop-

erative,” 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 fore-

see 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. ❖

New grants to bolster food safety strengthen our food safety capabilities here and across the country.” In its grant application, the MDA proposed to explore the use of webbased 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. “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,” said MDA Dairy and Food Division Director Heidi Kassenborg. “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.” This article was submitted by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture.❖

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. The three-year grants will help the ag department more quickly trace contaminated foods to grocery stores and other distribution points, and will help bolster MDA efforts to ensure that recalled products are quickly and fully withdrawn from the marketplace. 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. “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

Ethanol racer: Pure alcohol runs cooler, cleaner By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer David Reisz grows corn and soybeans in Crawford County, Iowa, near Denison. 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 winter. The mechanic who built the engine said there was absolutely no evidence of any wear. And that’s running at 8,000 rpm,” Reisz said. See ETHANOL, pg. 13

Reisz: Given blender pumps, public balances out market Cleaner engines on ethanol fuels are partly because engines run considerably cooler on ethanol. When you’re cranking at 8,000 rpm with speeds pushing 100 mph on dirt tracks, engine temps can be a factor. “When we pull in after 20 laps at 8,000 rpm we’re running between 170 degrees and 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Most of the other cars are getting up to 240 degrees,

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. • 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 non-slippery floors to avoid leg injuries caused by fighting.

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 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

In Minnesota, 10-percent ethanol fuels via state legislation in 1993 became standard at every pump. Not so in Iowa. Even E85 pumps are limited across the state, with about 150 listed in the current E85 stations pocket map provided by the Iowa Corn Growers Association. Reisz believes blender pumps offering 20-, 30- or 85percent ethanol could be a great offering to the motoring public. The same map listing E85 locations also lists 37 blender pump stations in Iowa. “If blender pumps were available across the country I think the motoring public would balance out the

ethanol market nationwide. Blender pumps would make this a consumerdriven industry and I think that’s what we need to establish the value of ethanol fuels in America.” He runs a 30-percent ethanol fuel in his SUV and claims better mileage, plus a cleaner engine, than zero ethanol. Besides growing corn, he feeds cattle. Right now he’s being squeezed on both products. Thanks to the widespread drought in his section of Iowa, his corn was running from 30 bushels per acre up to 80 bu. on his “best fields” this year. “Because of the drought we chopped three times more silage than normal; also we have virtually a zero hay crop,” Reisz said. Perhaps echoing the thoughts of many Americans, especially now with nearly $4 pump prices, Reisz said, “We’re too dependent on foreign oil. We have enough oil in North America. We just need to get the squawkers out of the way and start drilling.” ❖

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 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.” 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. He also said most hybrids get sold based on agronomic information such as stalk quality, root quality, seedling vigor and soil type. But to yield at highest levels, available and non-available nutrients must be understood in each field. 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. Yegge continues to farm about 1,100 acres while also doing pedigree selections for the development of these non-GMO hybrids. Hemiller said nothing gets into the market until that particular pedigree has proven performance data. “Our customers can go on our website to see side-byside plot data. Dan has over 30 years in the seed business working with big companies such as DeKalb, Mycogen and Crow’s, and he has a vast knowledge of the seed industry. He’s hand-picking the male and female lines used in each of our new hybrids,” Hemiller said. “We’re a totally independent seed company. We now have a second office at Albert City, Iowa. We’re adding at least three salesmen each year and now are marketing across northern Iowa and southern Minnesota. The 80,000-kernel bags or mini-bulk packaging are how we handle seed.” Beenken and Hemiller were interviewed at the Clay County Fair in Spencer, Iowa.

No evidence yet of invasive carp in river system CROSS, from pg. 15 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 s 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.

This week’s column covers Place in the oven at 400 degrees on the broil setting. such a dish, and frankly, one of Serve when the cheese is just slightly brown, like a 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 alternative 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 boil and reduce to a simmer. Cover and allow to cook over low heat for 20 minutes. Can you smell that?

The farmer’s neighbor is an extension of oneself There are a lot of people who the farmer deals with from day to day and week to week. There are the delivery people who bring fuel and feed inputs, seed sales people, cement truck drivers, agronomists and even the occasional religion salesman who doesn’t happen to catch The Mrs. at home. Once my husband even took care of a frozen food salesman who stopped by our place, and during the conversation, told my husband all about how

bad pork was for people to eat, and how he should take advantage of the sale he was having on all of his chicken items. It was the last time he ever stopped at our place, which was bulging with swine at the time. But of all the people who stop at the farmer’s gate, there are probably none more important than the farmer’s neighbor. Neighbors are a special kind of people

Grain Outlook USDA throws market a curve

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 JOE TEALE Broker beef and the economy still struggling, more retail emphasis is turning away Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. from beef and to 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 months of declining prices the hog market seems to

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, TOM NEHER Vietnam and Japan. Attendees AgStar VP & Team were also from Africa, Eastern Leader — Grain Industry Rochester, Minn. Europe and the former Soviet Union. It is sort of like going to 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

The following market analysis is for the week ending Sept. 28. CORN — The U.S. Department of Agriculture threw the market a curve this week with a bullish Stocks as of Sept. 1 number. The market had remained on the defensive throughout the week with fund selling, harvest chugging away, and yield reports mostly as expected. In some areas that had timely summer rains, they were looking for average yields but are reporting better than average yields. With month- and quarter-end falling on the same day as the Quarterly Grain Stocks report, PHYLLIS NYSTROM Country Hedging fund selling was active on posiSt. Paul tion squaring Monday through Thursday. Harvest pressure was apparent with grower selling bushels if there was any doubt about quality. Illinois received approval this week from the Food and Drug Administration to blend corn containing aflatoxin for feed use. This follows Iowa’s approval last week. Indiana has applied and is awaiting their approval. Keep in mind Sept. 1 stocks represent 2011-12 ending stocks and beginning stocks for 2012-13. The Grain Stocks as of Sept. 1 of only 988 million bushels caught the market leaning the wrong way as the market had been in selling gear for the last two weeks. This is the first time stocks are below 1 billion bushels since 2003-04. Expectations were for stocks of 1.126 billion bushels. On the September monthly crop production report Sept. 12 ending stocks for the 201112 crop year were pegged at 1.181 billion bushels.

Price plummet more severe than anticipated NYSTROM, from pg. 19 more critical. We have fewer bushels to start the new marketing year, but what about harvested acres and yield for this year’s crop? Are we convinced that early harvested new crop bushels were not counted in the Sept.1 figure? The best way to describe this week’s export sales is “pathetic” and “almost unheard of.” After new sales and cancellations were netted, sales were a measly 16,000 bushels; that’s right, bushels. This hasn’t happened for any week since 1985-86 marketing year; and this is in the thick of harvest. Even after the huge decrease in price, the United States is losing business to South America. There were also reports of some eastern livestock groups signing deals to import 750 thousand metric tons of corn from Brazil over the next six months. Total export commitments are down 36 percent from last year. The Rosario Cereal Exchange forecasted Argentine corn acres would decline 10 percent this year. They have just begun corn planting. Weekly ethanol production slipped 3 percent below last week to 238 million gallons. OUTLOOK: December corn posted its lowest daily close since July in the face of harvest pressure, fund selling, dismal exports, declining ethanol production, and a recovering dollar at $7.16 1⁄4 the day prior to the report. Then came the stocks surprise and prices posted a key reversal higher and erased all the losses for the week. The December contract settled at $7.56 1⁄4, up the 40-cent limit on Sept. 28 and 8 cents higher for the week. With harvest projected to be close to 50 percent complete on Monday, we may have set our harvest low, with the next upside target close to

$7.80 per bushel. Corn was down 5.8 percent for the month of September. SOYBEANS — The pain continued for the lingering bulls again this week as beans declined into the Sept. 28 grain stocks report and as harvest accelerated. November soybeans plummeted $2.31 1/2 from their high of $17.89 on Sept. 4 to this week’s low. The quarterly stocks report was neutral/bearish on its face for soybeans, but the bullishness from the corn and wheat reports brought money back into commodities in general. A sales announcement of 180 tmt of beans to China lent support also. This was in addition to 110 tmt announced earlier in the week. Harvest made good progress across the western Corn Belt while rain slowed activity in the southern third/half of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio during the week. Yield reports are trending two or more bushels better than expected just a few weeks ago. Harvest is expected to be in full swing as the calendar flips to October and hit 35 percent or more by Oct. 1. Grain Stocks as of Sept. 1 were 169 million bushels when the trade was anticipating 132 million and the Sept. 12, 2011-12 ending stocks were 130 million bushels. This was accomplished by revising the 2011-12 crop higher by 38 million bushels to 3.094 billion bushels. The revision came from a combination of a 170,000 increase in planted acres in 2011, a bump in harvested acres of 140,000, and a 0.4 higher yield. Weekly meal export sales were tremendous and soybean sales very good at 29.4 million bushels. Lower prices have attracted additional business in spite of improving planting conditions in Brazil. New bean sales to China were announced during the week in spite of

China auctioning reserve stocks to keep domestic prices in check. The United States has committed over 77 percent of the total U.S. export forecast for the year and are running 38 percent ahead of last year. Brazil is estimated to have limited soybeans left for export this year, keeping the United States as the main supplier for end users. Brazilian bean planting has commenced, about a week earlier than normal. Some growers are turning to shorter-season varieties to capture early premiums. Argentina should begin planting in about a month. OUTLOOK: The plummet in prices over the last two weeks was much more severe than anticipated, even when accounting for harvest selling off the combine. Export sales suggest that buyers are ready to extend ownership, but fund selling has overshadowed any demand. The August low in November soybeans of $15.55 1⁄4 held this week and

may hint the market is getting ready for a step higher. There is a seasonal tendency for soybeans to rally through the end of October once harvest is 50 percent complete. Harvest is projected to hit at least 35 percent complete by Oct. 1. November soybeans closed down 20 3⁄4 cents for the week at $16.01 per bushel and down over 9 percent for the month. Soybeans continue to be a choppy affair. Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending Sept. 28: December Minneapolis wheat was 3⁄4 cents higher, Chicago up 5 1⁄4 cents, and Kansas City gained 1 1⁄4 cents. Crude oil fell 70 cents to $92.19, heating oil rose nearly 4 1⁄4 cents, gasoline jumped a dime higher, and natural gas closed nearly 25 cents higher for the week.

TEALE, from pg. 19 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.

NEHER, from pg. 19 require us to 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. ❖

Movement good past 30 days

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. ❖

butter stocks are at the highest August level since 2009 and the market at that time was trading at about $1.20. The following year we hit $2 a pound, she said, so she thinks end users learned their lesson, “when the butter market gets low they buy in and I think that’s been supportive of the market although today’s butter market at $1.89 is a fairly stout price level given the stocks situation.” It closed September 28 at $1.95. Commenting on the slaughter data, Ledman said the report shows culling remains strong but much of the increased culling is occurring in the western states like California, New Mexico and Texas. Contrast that to

regions like Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio where slaughter numbers were actually down 44,000 from a year ago. She believes that will change as inventories dwindle and feed costs continue to rise. ■ Finally, on a lighter note, the Alliance of Western Milk Producers’ Bill Van Dam closed his Sept. 21 newsletter with what he termed the Reader Corn Con Slogan of the Week: “You cannot drive your corn and eat it too.” Lee Mielke is a syndicated columnist who resides in Everson, Wash.

EQUIPMENT FOR SALE

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

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. ❖
