Commentary: Marriage is about procreation, not love To change the definition of marriage is like saying that we will now call an apple an orange. Just calling the apple an orange will not change the apple into an orange. Changing the name of the apple to that of an orange will not change the substance of the apple. It will still be an apple in taste and flavor.

The definition of marriage has always been understood to be that of a covenantal vow between a man and a women with the aim of procreating, creating a family. The family has always been the basic cornerstone of any civilization, is the basis of any village, town, city and civilization that has ever thrived. For many centuries love had little to do with it as marriages were often arranged very early in life as they still are in some back

waters of the world. To change the definition of marriage to that of a couple stating publicly that they love each other is utterly alien to the term of marriage and it cannot be done. It goes against the natural law.

The natural law — what is that?

Mankind has been around for some 130,000 years on this planet; some 50,000 in our present state called modern man. The majority of those years mankind laid outside, slept outside under the stars thinking and telling stories to pass the time. The advent of the TV to pass the time is a relatively new thing. Even the reading of books to pass the time is relatively new phenomenon.

As man through the centuries thought and talked under the stars he came to realize that there were certain

It goes against natural law. phenomena or traits that were common to the rise and fall of villages, towns, cities and even empires. Certain traits led to the rise and the neglect of these traits would lead to a degeneration and even disintegration of those villages, cities and empires.

These traits came to be known as the natural law.

One of these natural laws is that it is a man and a woman in a sustained and binding relationship that is the basic cornerstone and basic building block of a prosperous society. Other natural laws are common courtesy items like don’t steal, don’t lie, don’t cheat and don’t sleep with the neighbor’s spouse.

The breaking of a natural law leads to pain and misery for the individual and an eventual fracturing of the society.

This has been observed and noted countless times in the history of mankind.

That is why the institution of marriage as that of being a relationship between a man and a woman has been elevated in every society and civilization that has ever arisen on this earth to that as being something extraordinary and even necessary. Only now See MARRIAGE, pg. 7A

Safeguard from radical extremist judicial judgments unborn babies is an act against the natural law and the church will never be party to it. Changing the definition of marriage to something that it is not is like the HHS mandate. It is a blatant attack on religious freedom and my church, and should not be tolerated.

So this November please vote yes on the marriage amendment and please remember not voting on the amendment will be counted as a no vote. So again please vote yes. So much depends on it.

This commentary was submitted by Martin Primus of Sauk Centre, Minn. ❖

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

the passage of the marriage amendment would be an attack against the religious freedom of certain congregations wanting to marry same-sex attracted people. What could happen and does happen if this marriage amendment is not passed? (Remember if passed it changes nothing but serves only to safeguard the definition of marriage in our state.) The definition of marriage will be changed as it already has been in a few other states against the will of the majority.

When that happens, and it surely will, any church that will not marry two same-sex attracted people may be liable to costly lawsuits of discrimination and bigotry. The church will not be able to teach scriptural truths to the fullest without fear of facing costly lawsuits as it tries to live out and teach the basic tenets of the natural law. It is very possible that many congregations will be forced to get out of the marrying business. So much for religious freedom.

The attack on the traditional definition of marriage is in the same vein as Obama’s Health and Human Services mandate on abortion and artificial birth control. The killing of innocent

OPINION

THE LAND, OCTOBER 12, 2012

MARRIAGE, from pg. 6A when we no longer lie under the stars at night sharing thoughts and thinking deeply about the mysteries of life is the natural law being challenged and forgotten.

The consequences of this neglect are dire; just ask the citizens of past civilizations, some long forgotten.

The Catholic Church realizes this, teaches this and that is why it so stridently opposes changing the definition of marriage. The marriage amendment changes nothing as far as current laws go. It only is meant to safeguard one of the basic natural building blocks of society from radical extremist judicial judgments and opinions.

This has been happening elsewhere in our country changing radically how society looks at the world. These changes are being made by an extreme minority and forced on the majority.

The marriage amendment is an attempt to safeguard the will of the majority and a natural law that is so basic to the survival of our society, our civilization.

A letter to the editor of The Land a while back stated this amendment to be a religious freedom issue and that

Letter: Romney best candidate to ever run for president His personal life is exemplary, sullied only by the lies that the Obama campaign is putting forth.

OPINION

debt that Obama has placed upon our children, the attacks on our Christian churches, Obamacare, the pollution control who dictates that carbon dioxide, which we exhale every day, is defined as a pollutant and so we can no longer use coal to generate our electricity, the unemployment level that is continuing, the problems with hooking up the oil lines from Canada. These are all problems that are occurring on the Obama watch.

They no longer can blame it on the Republicans, insurance companies, oil companies and everyone else. It is just good politics for them to try to change the subject and blame it on Romney. Obama’s mantra is “just give me four more years and trust me.”

When he was first elected we had a problem with China’s reluctance to allow their currency to move with its true value. He had seven opportunities to pursue this and took no action until a proposal a few weeks ago. How long would we have to wait until he would try again?

individuals, thousands of dollars. It’s a lie. The proposal would continue their Medicare protection at the present level. For those younger they would have the opportunity to try a different approach which would give them a better option.

Barack Obama says that the private sector is doing fine but we find all kinds of businesses failing every day.

This has been happening for as long as the United States has been in existence. When the bank has to foreclose they try to recover as much as they can by selling the business to someone else. That is when the Romneys, the Buffets, the Chinese, Italians and other venture capitalists become involved.

Mitt Romney has been very successful in turning around some of these businesses. He has saved over 100,000 jobs in the United States. His success has made him a wealthy man. He has paid all his taxes and contributed a substantial sum to charity in the United States. Yet the Obama lying machine is saying that Romney caused the problem. Just a few weeks ago a Chinese company purchased an airplane manufacturing company in Minnesota. An Italian company bought Chrysler. Other foreign companies are actively purchasing American companies. Guess where the jobs are going to be in the company’s future. Even if they continue to manufacture here the profits are going to be taxed and spent in their own country, not here to the U.S. treasury.

Romney is probably the best candidate to ever run for president of the United States. He has headed a huge company, had to meet the payrolls of a business. His personal life is exemplary, sullied only by the lies that the Obama campaign is putting forth. Where are the discussions about the tremendous

THE LAND, OCTOBER 12, 2012

To the Editor: Time for the truth squad. The Obama administration took over $716 billion out of the Medicare fund and placed it in the Obamacare bill. Now this is money that you and I have paid to guarantee that the fund would have the ability to pay the doctor bills when we needed them.

This is no different than buying health insurance today from a private company.

The Obama administration was going to replace the $716 billion with a promise that they would make savings in Obamacare, by delaying payments to doctors and other providers. In other words, a bum check. If a private bank, investment broker or insurance company would do this they would be thrown in jail. The doctor who treated you would have to pay his help, suppliers, his college costs, etc., without any money coming in the door. How is that for taking care of our medical needs?

On the TV ads they tell us that the Republican program that guarantees those over 55, the same program that we have today, is going to cost the older

Letter: Wolf hunt maintains balance between nature, farming To the Editor: Farmers in Minnesota for many years have experienced financial loss and frustration because of depredation by gray wolves — wolves have preyed on livestock and pets on Minnesota farms which has compromised farmers — affecting their livestock and livelihood. In 2011, the gray wolf was de-listed from the Endangered Species Act, and in response to public input from farmers, rural folks and other impacted citizens, the legislature established a season and regulations for the taking of the gray wolves, which is scheduled to begin Nov. 3.

Two opposition groups filed a lawsuit seeking to stop a Minnesota wolf hunting and trapping season, and asking for the wolf hunting season to be put on hold until the Minnesota Court of Appeals makes a decision. Minnesota Farmers Union members strongly support a wolf hunting season, and our policy calls for a dedicated hunting season for the gray wolf — livestock predation and wolf sightings are on the rise.

The hunt requires a fee which goes toward a wolf management program. Not all predation to farm animals is

OPINION

reported, and a scientifically managed wolf population is critical to our state.As livestock predation claims increase, the state of Minnesota indemnifies farms for their losses, and hunting fees go to cover those losses. Minnesota has paid out a record amount of over $154,000 to farmers whose livestock were killed by wolves in this last year.

In Minnesota, we respect the integrity of Minnesota’s natural resources, and we also respect the livelihood of farmers and ranchers, and it is incumbent upon us to maintain a balance between the two throughout the state.

Doug Peterson Minnesota Farmers Union President, Madison, Minn.

To the Editor: Love, commitment and responsibility should be part of all lives. But they cannot be the determinants for marriage. What makes for marriage is the emotional and physical differences between men and women. Male and female bodies complement each other to form the union from which society’s greatest asset, children, is produced.

Children need male and female influence and insight in their lives. Two males do not equal mom.

Two females do not equal dad. The wants of adults must never precede the needs of children.

With the acceptance of contraception, abortion and sterilization, society has often reduced marriage to a place for legal sex. In the spirit of fairness, we hear

the cry for all to have legal sex. This new meaning of marriage will result in school children being taught that all sexual activity is “normal” and thus good.

Those in public life who disagree will not be punished with fines or worse for discrimination.

Most important, the new definition of marriage will help solve the conscience of sodomites, and who wants to feel guilt?

Government did not create marriage, so government cannot redefine it. We must vote yes on the amendment or government in the form of judges or a legislature will redefine marriage as a place for legal sex.

But all she wrote was: “Drop by teaspoon. Bake at 350 F.” Because duh; that’s how you do cookies.)

■ Some of Grandma’s recipes didn’t come with a whole lot of detail that I would consider helpful. Verna’s Meatball recipe starts out OK with 2 eggs, wobbles a bit with 1 pound of “meat,” and slides into chaos with the milk, onions, potatoes and bread crumbs.

(Not sure what she meant about the parenthetical gravy and beef bouillon, either.) Just mix it up until it feels like you can roll meatballs out of it, and pour some gravy-like substance over them at the end. I like the addition of potatoes, a habit my mother shares, although she uses instant.

■ Grandma’s sausage starts out as hamburger, but as the smoke salt cure does its magic, the texture comes out closer to a beef summer sausage, but drier. It tastes great sliced cold or fried up in a pan. The meat “cures” as it sits,

Thurston: Hybrids capable of withstanding tremendous stress

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer “I think it’s shocking the industry that we’ve gone through the worst drought since 1988, and yields this fall are significantly higher than projected just a month ago,” according to Bob Thurston, president of Thurston Genetics of Olivia, Minn.

“It’s a real credit to corn breeders what they’ve developed for corn growers. Many of these yields are coming

in far better than expected under the worst conditions this season. So the combination of traits now available plus the drought package coming along we’re proving that we can provide hybrids capable of withstanding a lot of stress.”

In view of this growing season, will there be enough seed for the 2013 crop year, especially if American corn growers want to increase acres over the 2012 production?

“We’re worried,” Thurston said. He noted that much depends upon what will be the intent of planted acres for 2013. If it’s going to be 100 million acres of corn — 96.3 million in 2012 — then it might be a real stretch to provide the seed. “There’s a big increase in winter seed production in South America, mostly on new products. I’m confident we’ll have enough seed though perhaps not on the new releases.”

Without a significant “recharge” of soil moisture this winter, will farmers

cut back on planting rates next spring?

Thurston suggested such thinking would be good logic, but chuckled that come next spring when farmers roll out their planters, they usually stay with the same settings of the previous season.

“Growers are eternal optimists,” Thurston said. “They’ll plan and plant for next year’s crop accordingly. Perhaps on lighter soils you might see some cutback on planting rates if soils stay dry.” ❖

Iowa Corn Growers Association president Bruce Rohwer comments on this year’s corn crop: “This corn plant has been modified into one most fantastic miracle plant.

From the August USDA report, the 2012 crop was projected to be the eighthlargest in history with a projected total yield of 10-plus billion bushels. Yet this is one of the driest seasons in history.

“Without the plant that we have today with the weather we had this season there would have been lots of zero acre yields out there. Our agriculture, our nation, would be in dire straits if we were still farming with the

hybrids of 10 to 15 years back.

“The flip side is that with normal yields and 200-bushel corn across the Corn Belt, those mountains of yellow corn piles in small-town elevators across the Corn Belt would have produced a bit of a train-wreck on corn prices. You could peg $4 corn, you could peg $3 corn; who knows the drop. The point being that with significant recharge of soil moistures across the farm belt who knows how many acres and what price for corn in 2013. We’ve got to keep exports and ethanol as major buyers of U.S. corn for certain.”

— Dick Hagen, The Land staff writer

ADM’s Greg Mills: Record year for client payouts Mills: I don’t have an answer for that.

I was in the grain industry for 27 years before getting into ADM’s Crop Insurance Division. I simply maintain that crop insurance is the key safety net for the American farmer today. And the significance is that it’s important for all of rural American, not just the farmer.

Q: How many crop insurance companies exist? How does ADM Crop Risk Services rank?

Mills: There are 16 crop insurance companies. ADM just got involved in 2009. We are about a 3 percent market share today.

Q: Why did ADM make the move into crop insurance?

Mills: For ADM everything starts with production agriculture. We saw crop insurance as a way to support the American farmer and assist him in risk management and risk mitigation. And that’s particularly important today when you look at the production costs of growing an acre of corn or any other crop. The risks for the American farmer today are substantially higher than 10 years ago.

What we want is a healthy farming community to help sustain the businesses

that have built this farming community.

Q: So how do you market ADM Crop Risk Services?

Mills: We market through already existing crop insurance agencies. We promote the fact that we are the only international grain company that is in crop insurance. We’re the only crop insurance company that can discuss with you day-by-day, even hour-byhour, grain markets locally, nationally and internationally. The same for weather trends with an intimate knowledge from over 300 asset locations in farming communities across America. And that additional input we feel is even greater value to the farmer than just the crop insurance policy. Showing a farmer how the markets relate to his crop insurance policy is key to our growth. We’re four times larger than we were three years ago.

Q: Without federal subsidies, would premiums be ‘affordable’ for most farmers?

Mills: Premiums would have to be substantially higher. Would farmers See INSURANCE, pg. 22A

than 50 percent of crop acres insured to today’s level of about 83 percent of all crop acres in America being insured. In the current environment the crop insurance program has been relatively neutral because there has been enough gain in new participants to offset the additional expenses.

Q: Who shares in the benefits of federal crop insurance?

Mills: The benefits accrue not just to the insurance companies and their policy holders but to the entire agricultural community. This year without crop insurance we would be ramping up a direct payment program to producers because banks would be frozen up, Farm & Fleet stores and other farm supply outlets would be boarding up because there wouldn’t be assurance of a cash flow that crop insurance provides. The stakeholders of crop insurance are broad — your local bank, your seed dealers, the chemical outlets, your farm equipment dealer, even your retail stores.

Q: So what language needs to be included in the next farm bill to maintain this protective umbrella over agriculture?

THE LAND, OCTOBER 12, 2012

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Could this be a $20 billion year for crop insurance payments?

That certainly wouldn’t surprise Greg Mills, president of Archer Daniel Midlands Crop Risk Services.

“Yes, this will be a record year for client payouts,” said Mills, who quoted a projected $20 billion to $30 billion in crop indemnity payments for Crop Year 2012. He said University of Illinois business specialists are using the same range of damage claims.

Q: How does this year’s disaster impact the future of crop insurance? Could it ever be self-sustaining if the farm bill doesn’t provide federal payments as part of the overall cost of crop insurance?

Mills: The experience of crop insurance companies is that it cannot be a self-sustaining program. The government subsidy is needed simply to keep the cost affordable for the American farmer. When the government ‘costsharing’ finally ramped up to 60 to 65 percent premium level, farmer participation jumped dramatically from less

Other countries look to imitate U.S. insurance programs INSURANCE, from pg. 21A participate? History has suggested the answer would be ‘no.’ As we look at crop insurance both in America and other countries the reality is that is has to be government subsidized to make it work.

Q: Is crop insurance now working for farmers around the world?

Mills: From ADM’s perspective, our crop insurance is basically just in North America. But other countries are looking at our U.S. crop insurance programs and wanting to imitate our model. And that of course is why passage of a new USDA farm bill is so important to simply substantiate our agricultural industry.

After the Russian drought of 2010 even their government is searching for ways to better protect the financial stability of their farmers; the Chinese are looking at our crop insurance; not yet government involvement in crop insurance in Brazil but lots of discussion about generating government support; India and the Philippines are looking; so too is Africa.

Globally, officials see crop insurance as the major way to stabilize farm risk so that you can expand food supply.

Strange, but other countries are looking at us to see how to emulate the success here in America while we’re now looking for ways to cut the program.

Q: With the widespread drought damage across the country, how soon will indemnity payments start occurring?

Mills: The farmer first has to complete harvest of his crops; then assemble all his receipts for yield certification; then get this info to his adjuster. As the harvest proceeded this fall, farmers were calling their local agents reporting yield losses as they read their combine monitor. But the payment cycle is still detailed and precise. The horror story is when the adjustor shows up and gets a shoe box of unorganized documents. You

would be surprised how often in our modern world that still happens. It’s very much a cooperative effort and the better organized the producer, the faster the entire process. In a normal year, payments start in November-December and wind down in March, April. This year volumes will be so much higher that the entire process will be delayed.

Q: You have a new iPhone application that speeds the process?

Mills: Yes, AerosExpress is an Apple iPhone app that allows ADM’s Crop Risk Services adjustors to provide faster, more efficient delivery of crop insurance claims. It allows adjustors to view and organize claims, take photos of damaged crops, map damaged acres of the fields, find contact information and take notes after a call — all from the palm of their hand. It also uploads all of the information into ADM’s Aeros system which is accessible by the insurance agent.

Q: Can payments on crop insurance claims this year possibly influence crop choices next year?

Mills: The market will signal what crops to plant next year. Crop insurance is pegged to the market with prices not determined until next April 1. By that time most crop decisions are pretty much in place. ❖

Cash Grain Markets

Sep

Grain prices are effective cash close on Oct. 9. The price index chart compares an average of most recently reported local cash prices with the same average for a year ago. *Cash grain price change represents a two-week period.

Cattle market turns sluggish

Volatility still dominates markets

The following market analysis is for the week ending Oct. 5.

CORN — Corn harvest chugged along in the west this week while progress in the east was hampered by rain.

They couldn’t buy a bucket of water all summer, but now when they are trying to get fieldwork wrapped up it rains.

Any moisture to recharge the soil is welcome, however.

Corn prices were stagnant this week after the limit higher close on the day of the grain stocks report.

December corn could only muster a $7.46 to $7.68 1/2 weekly trading range; settling down for the week at $7. Last week’s spike lower to $7.05 NYSTROM was in all probability our seasonal PHYLLIS Country Hedging low.

St. Paul Basis levels were slightly higher during the week as ethanol locations look for bushels and growers put their own storage to use. Once the bin doors are locked, it will likely take better prices to entice producers to part with inventory with checkbooks looking healthy and thoughts of warmer climates in their plans.

Corn is a domestic market as weekly exports remain a disappointment. Sales of only 12.9 million bushels pushed us to 39 percent behind last year and to 33 percent of the yearly target. The average for this point in the marketing year is 37 percent sold.

Brazilian corn headed to North Carolina helps explain the poor export pace. Ethanol production fell to 785,000 barrels per day, the lowest number since 2010 when data was first collected. Stocks dropped from 19.3 million to 18.8 million barrels.

Informa Economics released two corn estimates this week, one that they believe the U.S. Department See NYSTROM, pg. 24A

With the change of seasons not only has the weather begun to change, but so has the livestock markets.

As one has struggled — that being the hog market — the other — being the cattle market — has relished in strength. It now appears the roles are reversing and the hog market is finding the strength while the cattle market struggles to stay steady.

The reason the cattle market has turned sluggish is the boxed beef price which, in comparison to other competitive meats, is high.

Even though slaughter numbers are down, weights of cattle conJOE TEALE tinue to rise, creating enough Broker meat to offset the decline in num- Great Plains Commodity bers. With the economy still Afton, Minn. retracting, the beef cutout has found that above $190 per hundredweight, beef movement slows, reflecting a reluctance from retailers to increase purchases.

The rallies in the futures market have recently been led by commodity funds moving to the long side, rather than good commercial buying. This would indicate that until we reach closer parity between the beef market and competitive meats, the cattle market will continue to struggle. This is not to say that the cattle market cannot improve, but it will be a slow advance as numbers decrease until other meats get more in line with the beef market.

The key word for the cattle market at this time would be demand, and not supply. If demand expands, the cattle market will respond with higher prices. But if demand continues to be weak, the cattle market will continue to struggle. Producers should continue to monitor the market and protect invento-

As the “flash harvest” is wrapping up, price volatility remains the dominant feature in the marketplace.

Yield estimates continue to improve as the harvest has moved to the northern Corn Belt. The question on the trade’s mind is, “have high prices taken care of high prices?”

Corn has been pressured for weeks by concerns that high prices have curbed demand for the grain, after front-month futures reached all-time highs in August. Those concerns continue, as export demand remains weak overall, and weekly U.S. ethanol production fell to the lowest level TOM NEHER since the Energy Information AgStar VP & Team Leader Administration started reporting — Grain Industry the data two years ago. The high Rochester, Minn. prices appear to be rationing demand for corn and oil seeds.

This will be an interesting marketing year, with the inverted prices working to pull grain into the markets rather than storage bins. Yet there has been a mad scramble to capture bushels to store for next summer’s perceived tightness of supply.

Inverted markets are the most difficult to merchandize in because one is not paid to store the grain through higher prices being offered for future delivery.

The conventional practice in an inverted market would be to sell the grain, capture the margins and get ready for next year. This year many seem to be willing to assume the storage risk with the hopes of being able to leverage the market next summer. If there is another drought next year they will look like heroes and if the rains come and crops look

Grain Outlook

THE LAND, OCTOBER 12, 2012

24 A

Soybeans show a doji star on candlestick charts NYSTROM, from pg. 23A of Agriculture will put out on Oct. 11, and one which they think will be the final crop number. For the Oct. 11 report, they are using 127.0 bushels per acre (September USDA was 122.8) with production of 11.194 billion bushels (September USDA 10.727 billion). For the final report they are anticipating a 127.2 yield with production of 11.147 billion bushels. The average trade guesses for Oct. 11 are yield of 122.8 bu./acre, production 10.616 billion bushels and ending stocks of 656 million bushels.

OUTLOOK: Look for consolidating corn trade prior to the Oct. 11 USDA crop report. The report will lend direction as harvest winds down, but attention will then turn to the pace of corn usage as well as South American

prospects. December corn is consolidating, but it would take bearish news to push into new lows in the short run.

A range of $7.40 to $7.75 may be in place for a while. December corn was down 8 1/4 cents for the week at $7.48 per bushel.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans continued to bleed lower during the first half of the week, only to find technical support and business near $15 per bushel.

Oct. 3 November beans spiked lower hitting $15.04 per bushel before finding buyers. The $15.04 level represented a decline of $2.85 from the record high of $17.89 per bushel on Sept. 4. On Oct. 3, the opening price and settlement price were within one-quarter of a cent of each other, close enough to call it a doji star for candlestick chartists.

TEALE, from pg. 23A ries when necessary.

The hog market has certainly turned the corner and has begun to recover after a long-term downtrend.

Hog numbers have decreased enough that packers have been more aggressive in bidding for live inventory to maintain a good slaughter. This because margins have been positive for the packer which means the packer wants to maintain good margins while they are still available.

Pork cutouts have improved over the past month and this appears to be a direct reflection of the disparity between pork and its competitive

meats. Pork product movement has been good because of the comparative lower price of pork versus beef, chicken and turkey. Cold storage pork inventories are large and will pose a problem until these inventories are whittled down. This will likely slow the ascent in hog prices in the weeks ahead.

Looking forward it is quite likely that the fall in prices in the latter part of summer and the high feed costs have reduced the hog herd to some degree.

Therefore, optimism into next year will help keep a floor under the market for the next few months. Producers should remain aware of current market conditions and protect inventories when NEHER, from pg. 23A warranted. ❖ great they will be looking at lower prices.

Perspective is difficult to maintain during these times. So often we tend to get caught up in our own worries and concerns; forgetting how blessed our lives have become. All it takes is to see pictures of drought-stressed crops to remind us that many things are out of our control. It is during times like this that we must take inventory of what are really the most important elements in our lives.

During the next several weeks give thanks for the strength and courage provided to till the soil and provide food for a hungry world. It is an honor to be a steward of the great creation.

As the fruits of our labors, worries and prayers are gathered; it is a good time to start planning for next year.

The markets have a job to do this fall and winter. It will be the driving force in providing guidance into the number of corn, soybean and wheat acres that

Price lag, feed costs drop herd

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

This type of technical development usually signals a change in price direction, which in this case proved true.

November soybeans bounced off the Oct. 3 $15.04 low to settle at $15.51 1/2, down 49 1/2 cents for the week. A 50 percent Fibonacci retracement from the previous week’s high of $16.26 to this week’s $15.04 lower equates to $15.65 per bushel.

Lending support to ideas we have seen the harvest low was the appearance of China back in as a buyer of 180,000 metric tons of beans and 21,000 mt of soyoil, even though they were on their Golden Week holiday.

Weekly exports were huge at 47.6 million bushels. China accounted for 79 percent of the weekly sales. It’s believed China has bought 14.6 million mt of U.S. bean for this year versus 11.8 mmt last year at this time. We now have sold 82 percent of what the USDA projects we will export for the entire marketing year. The average is normally 43 percent sold at this time of year.

Attention is already starting to turn to South American prospects. The south and central regions of Brazil seem to be in pretty good shape, but northern Brazil could still use moisture. Overall, Brazil is thought to be 3 percent complete on soybean planting as compared to 2 percent on average.

MARKETING

Brazilian growers are estimated to have already sold a record 50 percent of the 2013 crop. Argentina has enough rain for now for the 4.5 percent increase in bean acreage (record 19.7 million hectares) the Buenos Aires Cereals Exchange is projecting.

Informa Economics issued only one soybean estimate on Oct. 5 of 2.86 billion bushels (September USDA 2.634 billion) using 37.8 bu./acre (September USDA 35.3).

OUTLOOK: The seasonal trend for soybeans is higher through Oct. 20. We we’ll see if the post-October report action will support the tendency. Soybean rationing still needs to be accomplished.

If the production number next week is raised, the export category should absorb a portion of that increase.

Looking ahead, volatility and wide daily trading ranges should not be a surprise. Assuming we have seen the harvest low, look for prices to consolidate ahead of Oct. 11, trade the numbers, and then turn more attention to what growers do with the tail end of harvest bushels. A sizable $15 to $16.50 trading range may be expected short term.

are planted next year.

A sharp pencil and a well-charged calculator will need to be used as we analyze and evaluate the most profitable production alternatives. Risk management tools will be of paramount importance in this coming year as volatility and pricing opportunities will abound.

With commodity prices and production costs rising, more money will flow through our bank accounts. Our challenge will continue to be centered on how much of that flow we can keep in our operations.

Solid plans that are made during this time of the year can help to take some of the emotion out of our lives as we move into another year. Our perspective leads to emotion and this impacts our quality of life.

Let us all remember that we are blessed to live in a land of freedom and opportunity. With this freedom, let us remember to take the opportunity to prepare to make the most out of our blessings. ❖

Taking a look at flexible cash leases for 2013 agreeable to both the landlord and farmer.

Most land grant universities, and some farm management associations, publish annual average land rental rates on a yearly basis, which could be used as a resource for arriving at an equitable “base” rental rate. It is important for producers to have a maximum cash rental amount, in order to assist them with crop budgeting, grain marketing strategies and crop insurance decisions. Typically maximum annual rental rates are $100 to $150 above the base rate.

The “base” yield for a crop can be determined by either using the proven yield (APH) for Federal Crop Insurance, which is updated annually, or some other acceptable method of yield determination. Actual yield calculation on the farm can be determined by warehouse receipts, settlement sheets, scale tickets, bin measurements, grain cart weigh wagons, yield monitors, or any other method that is acceptable to both the landlord and farmer. Many times, yield determination requires a certain degree of “trust level” between the landlord and the farmer.

Flexible leases also work well for newer or younger farmers who may not be able to afford the higher cash rental rates for farm land. A flexible lease makes it easier to use a crop revenue insurance policy, along with some forward pricing of grain, as risk management tools for farmers. Most ag lenders are quite supportive of the use of flexible leases by farmers as a risk management tool.

A flexible lease, with a fair base rental rate, allows landlords the security of a solid base rental rate, while having the opportunity to share in added profits when yields and crop prices exceed expectations. Flexible leases are a nice alternative for landlords who want to continue to work with long-standing farmers with cash rental arrangements, without setting cash rental rates too high to keep the current tenants.

The biggest challenge with flexible cash rental leases is determining the “base rent” per acre, the “maximum” (and possible “minimum”) cash rent per acre, and the method to determine the flexible rent payments. The best way to establish the “base” rental rate is to have a rental rate per acre that is

Many variations to setting up flexible lease agreements PROGRAMS, from pg. 25A In many cases, the “base” price for a crop is the “new crop” price at the local grain elevator for that crop on a specified date (example: April 1 for corn and soybeans), and the final price is the price for that crop at the same local elevator on a specified date in the fall (example: Oct. 15). In some cases a weekly or monthly average price at the local grain elevator from planting to harvest is used to determine the final price.

Another alternative that is easy to follow is the use the Revenue Protection crop insurance base price for a crop as the “base” price for the flexible lease, and the RP harvest price as the final price, which are based on Chicago Board of Trade futures prices.

Whatever method is used to determine both the “base” and final prices

should be consistent, using either local cash prices, or RP prices from the CBOT. The details for determining prices and yields should be spelled out in a written land rental agreement that is signed by all parties.

With the occurrence of much higher crop input costs in recent years, some flexible cash leases have been modified, and are now based on gross revenue triggers that exceed the cost of production, rather than on crop yield and price triggers. In this type of lease the landlord only receives additional cash rental payments beyond the “base” rent when the final gross revenue per acre (yield x price) exceeds the established cost of production for the year.

Typically, the added “flex” rent payment to the landlord would be a set percentage of the added gross revenue

per acre above the established cost of production per acre, which is typically about 35 percent for corn, and about 40 percent for soybeans, with a “maximum” rental rate per acre.

Just as with crop yields and prices, determining the established cost of production for a crop for the year can be a challenge. Some possibilities would be to use cash flow statements for the year prepared by a farm management adviser, ag lender or the producer themselves. Again many universities and farm management associations have average cost of production data available. There also probably need to be allowances in a flexible lease to allow for added costs or expenses due to weather or emergencies.

There are many other variations to setting up a flexible lease agreement between a landlord and farmer, including using a base crop revenue compared to a harvest crop revenue, without using cost of production, to determine flexible rental rates (see below). The big key, regardless of the flexible lease agreement, is that both the landlord and tenant fully understand the rental agreement and the calculations that are used to determine

MARKETING

the final rental rate. It is also important that flexible lease agreements, as well as all land rental contracts, be finalized with a written agreement.

Flexible lease examples There are many examples and variations of “flexible cash rental” contracts and agreements. Following are simple examples of flexible cash rental lease calculations for corn and soybeans in southern Minnesota.

• Cash rental contract with a base cash rental rate (example: $250 per acre), plus the farmer will pay the landlord and additional percentage (example: 35 percent for corn and 40 percent for soybeans) of the amount that the final crop revenue (example: final yield x Oct. 15 local price) exceeds the base crop revenue (example: Crop insurance APH yield x April 1 new crop local price). (Please see specific crop revenue flexible lease examples in the tables on Pages 29A and 30A.) • Cash rental contract with a base cash rental rate (example: $250 per acre), plus the producer will pay the landlord an additional amount (example: $30 per acre), if actual yields exceed the APH crop insurance yield by See PROGRAMS, pg. 28A

• Cash rental contract with a base cash rental rate (example: $250 per acre), plus the producer will pay the landlord an additional amount (example $30/acre), if harvest-time (example: Oct. 15) local grain price exceeds the base (example: April 1 local grain price) by 10 percent or more. (Soybean example: $13/bu. local price on April 1 and Oct. 15 price of $14.30/bu. or higher).

• Cash rental contract with a base cash rental rate (example: $250/acre), plus the landlord will receive 35 percent of the excess bushels for corn yields that exceed 180 bu./acre, and 40 percent of the excess bushels for soybean yields that exceed 48 bu./acre.

The landlord would be responsible to market their share of the excess bushels. (Final corn yield of 200 bu./acre would result in landlord receiving 7 bushels of corn [20 bu. x 0.35] to be marketed.)

• Cash rental contract with a base cash rental rate (example: $250/acre), and the producer will pay the landlord an additional 35 percent of the difference between final gross crop revenue and the base crop revenue for a Revenue Protection crop insurance policy.

alternative to extremely high straight cash rental rates. Landlords who are eligible for Social Security also need to pay attention as to what effect certain types of flexible payments, such as receiving a percentage of the grain that they must market, may have on the status of their future Social Security benefits.

It is important that all aspects of a flexible land rental lease agreement be spelled out in detail in a written rental contract, which is signed by all parties. Successful flexible cash lease agreements have always involved cooperation, trust and good communication between the farmer and the landlord.

What happens now that the farm bill has expired?

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer The current farm bill quietly expired Sept. 30.

In view of this failure by Congress I posed some questions to Steve Cen- Steve Censky sky, CEO of the American Soybean Association. Below is his Oct. 1 response.

“ASA is deeply disappointed that the House did not consider the farm bill before recessing before the elections.

ASA and 90 other ag-related organizations were part of a ‘Farm Bill Now’ coalition that had urged the House

leadership to take the bill passed by the House ag committee in July to the House floor before adjourning for the elections. Since no action was taken, we are calling on Congress to finish a new farm bill during the upcoming lame duck session in November and December. While some House leaders have expressed support for a one-year extension of the 2008 farm bill, others have stated that budget cuts and a revised budget baseline by the Congressional Budget Office would make it impossible to write a new bill similar to the versions approved this year by the Senate as well as the House committee.”

Q: If a one-year extension seems the best alternative by this Congress, what is the likely action and

CALL NOW!

content if/when a new farm bill is drafted after Congress reconvenes in January 2013?

Censky: The longer Congress delays in passing a new farm bill, the more complicated things are likely to get. If the lame duck session approves an extension, funding for a new farm bill in 2013 could be reduced in several ways.

Congress may not be willing to pass an extension without including some of the cuts already made in the House and Senate bills. These include elimination of Direct Payments, consolidation of conservation programs and a reduction in funding for SNAP (food stamps).

The Congressional Budget Office would take these cuts into account in its next budget baseline, due out by March 2013, and reduce the amounts of funds available to write a new farm bill. In addition, Congress and the next administration will need to resolve the pending sequestration of $1.2 trillion in defense and non-defense spending, scheduled to take effect in January.

While this process may be postponed during lame duck, it could eventually require deeper cuts in agriculture spending. So funding for the next farm bill could be substantially less than

the level available for writing the current House and Senate bills. It is not clear what the impact will be on farm programs, crop insurance, conservation programs, export promotion, research, etc.

Q: Should Federal Crop Insurance continue as the major consideration in terms of financial protection for American farmers?

Censky: Absolutely yes! ASA strongly supports the current crop insurance program as the most important risk management tool and the foundation of the farm income safety net. ASA and others successfully opposed amending or reducing funding for crop insurance in both the House and Senate farm bills. ASA also supported authorization of the Supplemental Coverage Option under which producers would be able to purchase county-level insurance above what they pay to insure production on their individual farms.

Protecting crop insurance will become more difficult as CBO increases the projected cost of the program due to this year’s higher prices See CENSKY, pg. 31A

Nutrition funding allows farm legislation to get passed tural trade be part of the farm bill?

Censky: Yes, very definitely. Farm bills historically have included authorization and funding for agriculture export promotion programs administered by the USDA, including the Foreign Market Development program and the Market Access Program. They also provide funding for international food assistance, including through P.L. 480 (the Food for Peace Program).

Unfortunately, authorization for FMD lapsed on Sept. 30 and MAP’s authorization will expire at the end of December. These programs are critically important in supporting farm exports and building foreign markets. If they are not reauthorized, the U.S. will lose important markets that ASA and other farm organizations have worked to establish for over 50 years.

Q: Should school lunch and other ‘food aid’ provisions continue as the major impact of the next farm bill?

Censky: The school lunch program, the food stamp program or “SNAP”, and other nutrition programs comprise 80 percent of spending under the farm bill. They have been integral to passing this omnibus legislation, since a substantial majority of House members do not represent rural districts, and their support is based on nutrition program benefits to their constituents. While some in the House have argued in favor of splitting nutrition and farm programs into separate bills, we believe that this would only make passing agriculture legislation that much harder. ❖

CENSKY, from pg. 30A — thereby making it a bigger target for budget cuts.

But protecting crop insurance as a risk management tool for producers will remain ASA’s highest priority in the lame duck session and beyond.

Q: What kind of language relating to renewable energy should be included in the next farm bill?

Censky: Energy programs in the 2008 farm bill have no baseline funding beyond 2012, which represents a significant challenge to extending these programs and building on the benefits they have provided in creating markets for soybeans and other crops.

Given funding realities, ASA believes that funding for energy programs should be targeted toward two small but important programs — the Biodiesel Education Program and the Biobased Market Program.

The Biodiesel Education Program received mandatory funding totaling $5 million. ASA supports reauthorization and funding for this program at the $1 million per year level. The Biobased Market Program received mandatory funding totaling $9 million. ASA supports increased funding for USDA to promote the BioPreferred and voluntary biobased labeling programs.

When we visited, Kaas had the works “I had a wonderful wood shop of a very old clock, with wooden gears, teacher,” he said. Now his shop is only standing open on the floor. A tooth on blocks away from where he graduated one of the gears had been broken and the weight-driven clock needed repair. from high school, but people from To make the repair, Kaas glued a very around the country send him clocks small piece of hard wood onto the gear and musical instruments to repair and people from around the world come to where the broken tooth was. After the glue set, he used one of his many hand- see his hand-carved clocks, statues and wall hangings. One of his larger made carving tools to shape the piece

clocks has hand-carved roses inside and a face of soft pink roses.

“The roses represent my children and grandchildren,” Lawrence said.

The rose clock is in the front room of the workshop. The room is sort of retail space and sort of an art gallery. In a room off to the side of the workshop are violins, violas, and even a mandolin that have been repaired or are under repair. Kaas showed us a Romanian violin that he has finished working on.

The wood glowed with a life its own.

“I had to take the front off to repair it. Then I put five coats of varnish on,”

he said. “The varnish was developed in Europe.”

Kaas doesn’t create large carving projects anymore; his hands cramp up, he says. But he does repair antique clocks and musical instruments as well as more prosaic things like sewing machines, student’s violins, and digital clocks and watches. He also is happy to show visitors some of his remarkable work.

The MPC reported that organizers continue to strategize and are planning another rally in Sacramento on Oct. 18 and a pre-rally prep session on Oct. 4 in Tulare. Details are posted at www.rallyforcaliforniadairyrelief.com.

The only thing that does not change is the ethanol mandates which are nothing but an arbitrary number put into a bill

by Congress. Congress by definition has the power to change the mandates.

Can it really be true that we are not smart enough to stop converting our corn into ethanol when it is needed to feed America?”

Farm’s ‘petting zoo’ welcomes kids, classroom visits DAHLS, from pg. 7B pit odors because the oxygenated water that drips from the nipple waterers produces an aerobic environment in the pit below the slatted floors. Also new is a simple in-line structured water filter device only about 12-inches long.

“It’s basically glass marbles that water passes through,” he said, “and the claim is that this process energizes the water which in turn means better water utilization within the pigs’ system.”

Cautious about claiming scientific results, Wayne said only that “between the Oxy Blast system and these structured water filters we’re seeing our young pigs get off to a much better start.”

He pointed out, however, there are so many variables in each group of pigs that it’s difficult to pinpoint the success. Their system revolves around 9 weeks for isoweans in the nursery facility and 18 weeks in the finishing barns.

After each nine-week nursery timeframe, the entire structure gets pressure washed with hot-water cleaning “so it pretty much looks and smells like the inside of a car wash.”

The same process happens after each cleanout of the finishing barns.

“My pets are good therapy for me, for my friends, and especially for little children. My grandmother used to love her chickens. I grew to cherish her love for chickens. I even decorate my kitchen with chicken art work. Grandparents love to bring their little grandchildren to our house.”

Wayne and his brother David team up to grow 1,800 acres of crops in a corn-soybean rotation.

The Dahls’ youngest son, Jordan, is an integral farming partner, and a neighboring young farmer, Tanner Winge, is ducers, Wayne said. But it’s not all high-tech that drives the Dahls’ environmental stewardship.

Much goes to simple things like keeping their farmstead comfortably clean and tremendously fun for their own grandchildren, neighboring kids, even classes from local schools for a look at Laura’s incredible “petting zoo” which includes a variety of unique birds, chickens, pheasants, goats, geese, rabbits and a pair of adorable alpacas.

“I’ve always loved animals,” she said.

also a valuable part of their swine enterprise. “He’s just an exceptional young guy. I can’t say enough about his animal husbandry skills,” Wayne said.

The Dahl family includes Tanya, 34; Tera, 31; Terese Viessman, 29, with husband, Nate, and children Skylar, Walker and Tucker; Jarrett, 27 and Jordan, 25, with wife, Ashley, and, son Lincoln. Both sons have become skilled chain saw sculpturing talents, with Jarrett named grand champion in the 2012 Alaska Chain Saw Carving show.

“It’s such a joy to wake up each morning on this farm,” Wayne said. “We want the next generation, and the next generation and the next generation, to be able to experience the same joys that Laura and I experience every day.

To me it’s easy to be close to God when you work so closely with nature.” ❖

“Ron had so much experience. I’ve had questions since getting on the Board, especially these past couple years as president. But always Ron could bail me out. Especially on checkoff issues he was so well-versed. He helped greatly bridging the gap between some of the factions out there that also had concerns about checkoff dollars. He simply was a master at taking care of issues for us.”

Minnesota is internationally recognized for the irradiated meat campaigns of the Minnesota Beef Council, thanks in large part to Eustice’s extensive involvement on the issue.

“Ron traveled all over the world, and always upon the invitations of other countries, to talk and educate about the values of irradiation in the world food chain. And I need to point out that these are always expensepaid trips on behalf of the countries inviting him. There are no checkoff dollars involved, yet these missions have definitely given Minnesota the reputation of being a world leader on this issue,” Moon said.

Often Eustice took his own vacation time to do some of these educational missions, and these efforts put Minnesota beef on the worldwide map, Moon said. It also put the spotlight on the countries Eustice was visiting and the concerns they have about healthy foods in their own food chain.

Moon was interviewed at the recent retirement event held to honor Eustice. ❖

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
