Letter: Romney-Ryan would Letter: Romney-Ryan offers destroy America’s middle class hope for right kind of change

To the Editor: Romney’s record at Bain Capital should be one of many reasons to vote against him. Instead of being a “white knight” riding to the rescue of a company in trouble, Romney was a classic Wall Street raider. The Bain Capital record, while Romney was in charge, was recently documented in a lengthy article in the pro-business, Republican-leaning Bloomberg Businessweek magazine.

The method was: 1) Buy a good company in trouble, cheap; 2) Sell off the profitable assets and use the money to pay back Bain’s investment; 3) Borrow as much money as possible and give the money to Bain; 4) Declare bankruptcy and use the bankruptcy to reduce debt, eliminate pension liabilities and bust union contracts; 5) Pitch company after bankruptcy as being a very good investment, put out an IPO, and trick investors into investing in their company; 6) Cash in their equity with the proceeds of the IPO and walk away with millions, leaving the company heavily in debt. The companies eventually fail, because of debt load, costing investors millions and workers their jobs and pensions.

The same pitch is being made by

To the Editor: As a very important election approaches we need to ask ourselves these questions. Where are we? How did we get here? Is our present course wise, responsible and sustainable?

We need to look at this unselfishly, not as a special interest group — seniors, labor, farmers, etc. This has been a land of opportunity, is still the best place on Earth to live, and we need to preserve it for following generations.

The Tea Party has been maligned by leftists, liberals, rinos, a self-serving bureaucracy and others.

The Tea Party advocates ...

• Constitutional government. The men who wrote this did so to give us freedom and save us from a tyrannical, overreaching government.

• Fiscal responsibility. Everything has to be paid for, either now or later with interest.

President Obama was elected on the promise of hope and change. His own party was in control of both houses for two years. He has done two things — burdened us with massive debt and con-

solidated more power in Washington.

Our own Sens. Klobuchar and Franken, and Rep. Walz simply fell in line.

We can’t afford more people going to St. Paul and Washington with their hat in their hand coming back announcing to every special interest group “Look what I got for you.”

The question should be “What did you do to control spending, cut waste, enhance freedom and opportunity, ensure national security, etc.?

Government cannot create productive jobs. Individuals and private industries can if the government gets out of the way.

Mitt Romney has proven he can run successful businesses and knows how to manage money. This is something Washington, D.C., cannot claim.

Paul Ryan has gone against the establishment and recognized we are headed for financial disaster. He has had the courage and conviction to take a stand.

These two give us reason for hope and the right kind of change.

Letter: What are you going to do about U.S. problems?

To the Editor: Millions of men and women have given their lives for your freedom and mine. Our country is on the verge of bankruptcy. What are you going to do about it?

Romney during the campaign. He is going to reduce taxes by 20 percent, spend $2 trillion more on the military, and eliminate the deficit by closing unnamed loopholes. As President Clinton said: “Do the math. It is not possible.” This is a snow job, similar to the Bain Capital plan, with voters instead of investors as the target.

As for job creation, Romney didn’t mention all of the jobs lost when the companies were closed. In Romney’s own words, “I like to fire people.” He even wants to fire Big Bird. Does he really think eliminating “Sesame Street” will balance the budget.

“Sesame Street” was very helpful to us in educating our children. I would hate to see the next generation lose it.

This election is very critical. You have to believe that Romney and Ryan will do what they say they are going to do. They are telling us that they will eliminate Social Security and Medicare, and lower taxes on the rich.

The middle class will be decimated and the country will be well on its way to becoming another Mexico.

we can all save for our own retirement.

President John F. Kennedy said, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.”

I say we can be satisfied and take care of ourselves.

Albert Einstein said, “We can’t solve problems by using the same thinking we used when we created them.” We created our money problem by spending too much, so let’s stop spending.

Everyone should take care of themselves.

Denis Waitley said, “There are two primary choices in life, to accept conditions as they exist or accept the responsibility for changing them.” I can’t accept our country going broke.

It’s the best form of government ever.

It’s the best living conditions in the world ever.

President Barack Obama said, “We need a stimulus package.” What better way to stimulate the economy than to tell the employer you no longer need to give benefits to your employees, they will be able to live on their wages.

Letter: Voting Bible values not as simple as it may seem To the Editor: Over the past 32 years, I have traveled nearly a half million miles in my role as an advertising representative for The Land magazine. I’ve spent thousands of hours behind the wheel, observing and contemplating. This week I was in Glencoe, Minn., heading toward Silver Lake. I came upon a church that had a red sign on it, “Vote Bible Values” — a noble concept to be sure.

OPINION

But how does one do this in reality? I went to www.votebiblevalues.com and read about how terrible abortion is and that marriage is a union between a man and a woman. And that was about it. If I believe these things, that makes me a patriotic American Christian and I should vote Republican, correct?

But what about the other values that I have read about in the Good Book and heard about in the songs and in the preaching over the past 50-some years.

The concepts of love, forgiveness, sacrifice, generosity

Letter: A ‘yes’ vote preserves what we have now To the Editor: Please vote “yes” on the marriage amendment. Your family — all families — ultimately depend on it.

What is at stake are two competing definitions of marriage. Both cannot stand together. One definition would redefine marriage as the union of any two people regardless of gender. The other definition is reflective of the current historically held concept that marriage is the union between one man and one woman. The first definition results in a sterile union at best, while the latter definition recognizes the capability of producing children. Male and female are different for a purpose.

It is not discrimination to treat different things differently. Heterosexual marriage is completely and totally different from any type of relationship between persons of the same sex. Same-sex unions undermine procreation, but also the central ele-

ment of sexual difference and its relation to the unitive good. There is a difference and the difference matters.

A “no” vote, or no vote at all, would change our society completely, not because the law itself would change immediately, but because activist judges or politicians will substitute their values for traditional values. They will change it.

Legal experts on both sides of the marriage debate agree that the issue will impact a host of other issues, ranging from religious liberty, to individual expression of faith, to education and the professions.

Those who don’t agree with the new definition of marriage will be treated as bigots under the law and will be punished for their traditional (but no longer accepted) beliefs.

It is already happening elsewhere: in places like Boston and Washington, D.C., where Catholic charities have been forced to close their charitable adoption agencies; in Massachusetts where students as young as second grade are taught about gay “mar-

and service are what the Gospel teaches me, correct?

Well, if that is in fact a fact, I vote Democrat, right?

So this noble notion, voting Bible values, is not as simple as it may seem. In the end the best we can do is to get informed, search our hearts and find the candidates who get closest to that which we hold dear.

riage”, and courts have ruled that parents have no right to prior notice nor can they opt out; in other places where doctors, lawyers and other professionals risk their state licensures if they act on their beliefs; where religious groups have lost their state tax exemptions; where wedding photographers have been fined for not providing services for same sex unions; where military chaplains are increasingly being denied freedom of conscience and freedom of speech since the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” In Canada, those who stand up for their traditional beliefs are criminalized since the Civil Marriage Act came into effect. Governments are enforcing samesex “marriage” and lifestyles through coercion.

A “yes” vote on the marriage amendment would preserve what we have now, what our grandparents had, and those before them. It does not take away anyone’s existing rights or legal protections. It simply defends marriage from attempts to weaken it or turn it into something else.

Helen McNamara Goodhue, Minn.

Letter: Vote ‘yes’ for the children To the Editor: There is a saying that a society is measured by how it treats the helpless. How tragic it is, then, that in our own country and state many adults are ignoring the needs and rights of children to satisfy their own desires. By referring to their desires as “rights” (to disguise the selfishness and lend credibility) many other Americans are enticed to jump on the bandwagon.

Since 1973, a woman’s “right to privacy” and “right to choose” have resulted in millions of children losing their very right to life. Now in Minnesota the “right to marry” is being placed by some adults before children’s needs.

Studies have shown again and again that children do best when raised by both mother and father. The argument that two parents of any sex are better than none at all is not a valid one, as thousands of male/female couples are waiting to adopt.

Please vote yes on the marriage amendment to preserve marriage and family as God intended.

Sara McNamara Goodhue, Minn.

Letter: Let us change the laws of man, not God’s law prepare yourself for life after death, and the gay lifestyle is not one of them.

The last days will be similar to the days of Noah; let’s not shorten it up. We cannot change the rules of law that God gave us to follow, but we can

Museum keeps Grand Army of the Republic alive

That is due to forward-looking members.

“The reason we still have this G.A.R. Hall is that members were smart enough to deed it to the city,” said Cheryl Almgren, specialist in Genealogies and Research. “We’re not rich enough to keep this going (by ourselves),” she said, speaking of the Meeker County Historical Society that operates the Hall and Museum.

In a sense the G.A.R. Hall is a community treasure, with the community assisting in its construction, the city on its completion taking ownership and maintaining the building, and Meeker County donating to the operating costs. That’s the way the Post wanted it. Part of the agreement in deeding it to the city was that the building be kept open to the public.

Except for displays set up around the perimeter, little has changed since the last G.A.R. meeting in the 1930s. Rows of gray-painted chairs, each one donated by a member, sit in the middle of the meeting room. Hanging overhead is a 16-globe kerosene (now electrified) chandelier.

In front of the chairs is the altar, a large four-sided podium from which the G.A.R. meetings were conducted.

Some of the members had served in Minnesota in the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862. The first deaths in that war were settlers who lived near Acton in Meeker County. Wood from their cabin was used to construct the altar and for the gavel used in meetings.

While all of that is original, the perimeter displays fill out the history.

There is a model of the Acton cabin, built from its own wood, and a piece of tree trunk that supposedly was used for target competition just before the settlers were killed.

Another display features an old streetlamp and photos of the Albert Van Spence family. Spence was the only African-American member of the Post.

He escaped from slavery and fought for the North and became a friend of Daggett, though he didn’t serve under him. He was Litchfield’s lamplighter.

On the north wall hang photos of 53 of the members, donated by the veterans or their families. There is a comSee MUSEUM, pg. 10A

“It was 20 years after the war and there was much more interest,” Milan said. Daggett’s earlier effort was not forgotten. The Post was named Frank Daggett Post No. 35.

None of the members were Litchfield natives, because the town was not founded until 1869.The 300 veterans that were members through the years had served with regiments from 12 states in addition to Minnesota. (An accompanying article tells the experience of some.)

The Post remained in existence for over 50 years. The last member died in the late 1930s. But in some ways the Post still lives on through the building it erected.

In 1885 a structure, designed by a member to look like a fortress, was erected by the members with aid from the community. Its uniqueness is that it is one of the few halls in the United States whose purpose has never changed. It has always been a G.A.R. Hall, and The Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic, a congressionally chartered hereditary organization, still meets there.

Another unique point is that while a museum building has been added on to the back, the original building — the

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent The American Civil War ended in April 1865, but the war never fully ended for those who served in the military. The memories of what they went through, the friendship of their comrades, and for some their life-changing injuries would always be a part of them.

Veterans organizations sprang up to help the men keep in contact, and to aid the injured as well as the widows and families of those who had been killed. The organization that lasted the longest — until the era of the Civil War veteran passed — was the Grand Army of the Republic.

The G.A.R. was organized in Decatur, Ill., in 1866. Membership was limited to honorably discharged veterans who had served during the four years of the Civil War. As with veterans’ groups today, a local organization was called a “Post” and assigned a number. They could take the name of a deceased veteran.

Minnesota had its share of veterans. Some had served in the Eastern theater around Virginia and Pennsylvania. Many had been in the Western theater from Tennessee and Georgia to west of the Mississippi. Others never left the area, serving in Minnesota and the Dakota Territory in the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862. Many more out-of-state veterans settled in Minnesota following the war, taking land in exchange for their service to the country.

Frank Daggett was one of those veterans. A Vermont native, he had served in both a Vermont regiment and the 6th Minnesota Regiment before he led two African-American artillery regiments.

Daggett came to Minnesota as a journalist, and helped get the G.A.R. started in Minnesota. In 1872 he moved to the three-year-old town of Litchfield and started a newspaper. The following year he was organizing a G.A.R. Post.

“It never really got going,” said James Milan, executive director of the Meeker County Historical Society. “He had 20 to 30 people. He died around 1876-77 (at the age of 39). The last thing that the Litchfield G.A.R. did was bury Frank Daggett and then they disbanded.”

In 1883 there was another attempt to start a Post in Litchfield and this time it took hold.

G.A.R. Hall tells the tales of Civil War veterans

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent One hundred fifty years ago the Eastern theater of the Civil War saw major action. With the Confederate victory at the Second Battle of Bull Run on Aug. 29-30, General Robert E. Lee decided on a northern invasion.

That led to the “bloodiest day in American history,” the Battle of Antietam in Maryland on Sept. 17, 1862.

Twenty-three years later, men who fought on that day would have been sitting in the new G.A.R. Hall in Litchfield, sharing their experience with other members. And what experiences they must have had.

Alonzo Olmstead Alonzo Olmstead was in the 27th Indiana Regiment, part of the XII Corps that fought for control of the Cornfield, a 400-yard wide field that changed hands at least 15 times during the battle and was described by one author as “broken and bloodsplattered stalks framing hundreds upon hundreds of shattered men.” Of the 440 men in Olmstead’s regiment, 18 were killed and 191 wounded.

Olmstead lived to tell about it, and he was the last living Civil War veteran in Meeker County.

George Arnold Also at Antietam was George Arnold, a member of the 1st Minnesota Regiment. He was with the regiment from the beginning and fought in 13 major battles, surviving all unscathed until the 1st Minnesota made its valiant charge against an advancing force of Confederates on the second day of Gettysburg. During that charge he was wounded twice in the shoulder and once in the leg.

Andrew J. Anderson Another Antietam veteran was Andrew J. Anderson who was in the 5th Wisconsin and whose Litchfield home is now Anderson Gardens on Lake Ripley.

With 53 veterans gazing at you from the wall, you can even sense that you are mingling with the Grand Army of the Republic who 150 years ago fought to save the Union. Sit down on a gray chair, feel a part of history — and be grateful.

Connie Karstens and Doug Rathke knew they wanted sheep to be their business when they married in 1986, but couldn’t have foreseen how varied that enterprise would one day be.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Sheep operation poster child of diversification

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent Connie Karstens worked with sheep as a 4-H project. Doug Rathke grew up on a farm with sheep.

When they were married in 1986, they had already decided that sheep would be their business enterprise.

They just didn’t imagine how varied that enterprise would be.

“When I was a kid, dad had sheep and I just kept going,” Rathke said. He kept going, but he changed directions.

The new direction came during a trip to New Zealand to a sheep-shearing school.

Rathke told how the New Zealand shearers would ask about sheep farming in America, and when he told them they would look at him and say, “You mean to tell us you bring feed to the animals instead of animals to the feed?”

“One of the things we learned in New Zealand was that grazing was so much more efficient and better for health,” Karstens said. “It was better for the animal and better for us because we didn’t need to invest in all that equipment to feed the sheep; the sheep could See LAMB, pg. 15A

Sheep shape: A dose of selenium goes a long way In western parts of the United States where some rugged ranges can only be reached by horseback, ranchers often find themselves saddling up weekly to deliver mineral supplements to livestock grazing in nutrient-deficient regions, especially areas scarce in selenium. The routine is not only time-consuming but also costly, and in some leased-land arrangements, such supplementation practices are prohibited.

Selenium, a trace mineral and component of important selenoprotein antioxidants, is essential for good health in livestock and humans. If the body cannot form these important antioxidant proteins, it predisposes the animal to sickness and eventually death at a young age.

Selenium deficiency in livestock affects more than 35 states and costs sheep, beef and dairy producers an estimated $545 million in losses each year. Lack of adequate selenium in sheep reduces conception rates, increases neonatal mortality, and in some instances, causes white muscle disease — nutritional muscular dystrophy. Lambs that do survive suffer from increased disease, reduced weight gain and impaired performance.

Which selenium is best?

In search of a more cost-effective and longer lasting supplement, scientists at the Agricultural Research Service’s U.S. Sheep Experiment Station near Dubois, Idaho, and at North Dakota State University in Fargo, isolated a selenium-rich coproduct of milling high-selenium wheat and studied its effects on ewes and their lambs.

The most common form of selenium supplement is sodium selenite, which is usually added to saltbased mineral mixes fed to grazing livestock.

Sodium selenite is inexpensive, but it doesn’t last long in the body, said USSES animal scientist Bret Taylor, so it must be provided frequently to animals living in selenium-deficient regions.

“To provide enough of these mineral mixes to a band of sheep — around 1,000 ewes and their lambs — grazing remote areas, it would take a lot of horses to carry the supplement and supplies,” said Greg Lewis, USSES research leader.

“That’s because sheep can consume a lot during the week.”

“There was less butterfat in terms of percentage.

But because ewes produced so much more colostrum, 540 grams versus 390 grams, they were able to provide their offspring a lot more total grams of butterfat,” Caton said. “The colostrum was more dilute, but because there was so much more of it, there were a lot more nutrients going to that offspring.”

Scientists also addressed nutrient restrictions of rangeland sheep.

They examined how limited nutrition and high levels of dietary selenium during pregnancy affect growth of adolescent ewes and their lambs.

Adding the selenium coproduct feed to diets of pregnant ewes appears to enhance weight gains and body composition, said Allison Meyer, a former NDSU doctoral student who is now an assistant professor of animal science at the University of Wyoming.

“The birth weight of lambs was reduced by lownutrition diets. But when ewes were also fed the coproduct diet, their lambs had a greater birth weight,” Meyer said.

Load and go Selenium deficiency is a soil issue, especially in the West where many of the soils are a little too acidic, Taylor said. Either selenium is not present or it exists in a form that the plants can’t absorb.

Saying goodbye to your dairy cows isn’t easy

THE LAND, NOVEMBER 2, 2012

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Jerry and Lori Beckel of Madison Lake, Minn., used to be dairy farmers. In fact, dairying had been an 80-year tradition for three generations on the Beckel farm. But no longer. They recently sold off their 40-cow herd.

And why?

Like many a former dairy farmer, Jerry Beckel said, “age more than anything. At the end it was my brother, my wife and I that kept the dairying going.

Lori and I had milked cows ever since we married and that’s 40-plus years.”

Their herd peaked at 85 cows but started downsizing gradually when labor started becoming a factor.

There was an emotional issue to this transition.

“Yes, very definitely. These cows become like part of your family. When a cow became sick, that hurt almost like a pain in your own family. You get to know each animal. When we sold off our cows it was much like losing a member of your family,” Jerry said when interviewed at the Sept. 20 retirement event

Lori and Jerry Beckel recently sold off their 40-cow dairy herd, after 40-plus years in the back-breaking industry.

for Ron Eustice, long-time executive director of the Minnesota Beef Council. Lori is a board member of the MBC. The Beckels have not said goodbye to livestock.

“We want to transition into a purebred beef cow herd but now’s not the best time economically to go out and buy purebred stock. Right now I could probably get back into the dairy business at less cost than getting into the beef industry.”

For Lori getting out of dairying wasn’t an emotional deal. “For me it was much easier because it tremendously reduced my work load. Pure and simple as I get older it’s harder to do what I used to do but I still enjoy driving tractor and helping with the field work.”

What are her thoughts about her husband potentially getting into the beef business? “Well, it’s certainly not a 24/7 commitment like dairy cows!”

As an MBC board member she has some concerns about less meat in school lunch programs. “We want good nutrition and healthy foods for the kids. But this has to be tasty food that kids enjoy too and I think this is where meat has an important role,” she said. Jerry said, “we need to keep looking at school menus. We’re aware of red meat being challenged in school lunch programs so I think the Beef Council needs to stay on the forefront on that issue.”

The Beckel family includes two sons and two daughters — Brian, Andy, Collette and Linnea. Each is now involved in work that keeps them close to farming. One son, for example, is in the colostrum milk management business at Bloomer, Wis. A daughter is involved in organic farming near Blooming Prairie. Another daughter is a registered nurse with husband who is a retired dairy farmer at Cresco, Iowa, who now feeds cattle. The other son works for Cargill in their wheat marketing division but also does part-time farm work with his dad.

Is Jerry now over the emotional issue of saying goodbye to his cows? “I’m still healing but it’s going to be OK.” Lori added, “it was hard at first but he’s adjusted to life without cows. Plus we still have some show cattle and can’t part with those.” ❖

Ethanol industry pumps $5 billion into state’s economy to have a critical role in bringing increased returns to the state’s largest agricultural crop.

“While there have been ups and downs in the ethanol industry, the fact is it’s a huge advantage for us to keep more of the value of the corn we produce rather than ship it to another state or country as a raw commodity,” said Ye. “The ethanol industry is an important economic driver that adds value to every bushel of corn grown by the roughly 11,000 farmers who supply it to the plants.”

Ye said Minnesota exports 42 percent of its corn, while 39 percent of it is processed. In comparison, the United States exports 12 percent of its corn and 50 percent is processed.

Minnesota’s ethanol industry generated more than $5 billion in total economic activity in 2011 and supported more than 12,600 jobs, according to a new report from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. The state’s 21 ethanol plants have the capacity to produce 1.1 billion gallons of ethanol, putting Minnesota fifth nationwide in ethanol production.

According to the MDA report, ethanol added $912 million to the value of the state’s corn crop in 2011, a second record high. For every bushel of corn processed into ethanol, $2.07 was generated in additional revenue. The report also shows that for every dollar invested into the ethanol plants, more than eight dollars were generated for the Minnesota economy.

Last year, Minnesota farmers harvested more than 1.2 billion bushels of corn and 440 million bushels were put into production of ethanol and its co-product, distillers dried grains. The report’s author, MDA economist Su Ye, said the ethanol industry continues

Hunt is in the books: Best to wait in ambush for fall turkeys

THE LAND, NOVEMBER 2, 2012

To hunt wild turkeys in the springtime, most hunters would agree, is magical.

But as the birds have exploded in numbers, state hunters now can pursue them in the fall as well.

Fall turkey hunting is an altogether different game.

In the spring, hunters enter a lottery and hope to get drawn for one of the most popular five-day time periods.

In the fall, unlimited licenses are available over the counter for a season that runs for a month.

In the spring, hunters are restricted to shooting only bearded turkeys, usually toms.

The accepted hunting method in the spring is to locate a gobbling tom and then attempt to call him to within range.

In the fall, any wild turkey — tom,

Service dogs undergo screening for congenital issues Thus, most assistance dogs are of medium to large size.

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

Some service dogs can also be trained to pick up objects, open doors, or operate light switches. In recent years, service dogs have even been trained to help those with autism, low blood sugar and psychiatric disability.

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

dog does develop a disability, through proper treatment the dog will be able to continue to serve.

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

Rehabilitation is important with any animal, but Davidson said it can be a crucial factor in the recovery of working dogs. She said that since service animals require a certain level of physical ability to perform their jobs, they are expected to return to a higher level of function after surgery and rehabilitation than the average companion dog.

joining a service training program, they are screened for potential problems to ensure they are healthy enough to complete their duties.

“Generally, they are evaluated for congenital conditions, particularly relating to their vision or hearing,” Davidson said. “In addition, dogs that are of medium or large breeds are evaluated for dysplasia of the hips and elbows. Joints may also be checked for other developmental diseases that could cause problems later in life.”

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

She said that there have been no reported health risks directly related to service animals, but, as with companion animals, they can still develop health problems over time. If a service

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

These “service animals” are trained to provide specific assistance tailored to their owner’s disability.

Just like any animal, however, service animals can develop disabilities and need rehabilitation as well.

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

One of the main determining factors for service dogs is size because they are expected to perform physical activities.

Honey of a hobby

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondent Carolyn Van Loh

awrence Guetter’s hobby is off a L back road near Seaforth in Redwood County, Minn. Lawrence lives in

nearby Wabasso with his wife, Leslie, but has two of his beehives off a narrow gravel road, down a grass-covered path.

“I thought it would be fun to do,” he said of one of his retirement hobbies.

“And he likes honey,” Leslie added.

Lawrence researched bees and honey before purchasing his first hives after retiring 10 years ago from his business in Redwood Falls. Despite the hazard of being stung, he enjoys caring for his bees and sharing his knowledge and experiences with others.

In September, Lawrence and Leslie demonstrated how to extract honey from the honeycomb the old-fashioned hand crank way at the Gilfillan Estate Fall Festival. Leslie carefully scraped the cap (thin layer of wax) covering the honey-laden comb before Lawrence placed three honeycombs in the centrifugal extractor. Bees soon discovered the discarded wax and began recycling the bits of honey clinging to the wax.

Pollen gathering season may have been over in late-September when this photo was taken, but back at the hive bees continued working. Lawrence pro-

vided each hive with liquid sugar to fill the void caused by the lack of pollen.

Man has enjoyed the sweetness of honey since the beginning of time. The Bible mentions honey from Genesis to Revelation and numerous places in between. People used honey both as a food and a medicine.

The Guetters advocate the health benefits of honey. Since heating honey destroys some of the vitamins, minerals and enzymes, raw honey is the healthier choice. Most people have heard of or used honey to soothe a cough, and research has shown that buckwheat honey is more effective than other honey flavors.

Honey is known to increase a person’s immunity. It may also be helpful in lowering high cholesterol and in helping patients with Type 2 diabetes.

Since honey is sweeter than sugar, less honey is needed to achieve the desired sweetness.

Just as Lawrence packs away his golf clubs during Minnesota winters, he also packs away his bee equipment. He can enjoy the sweet taste of honey all winter, but he must satisfy his taste for golf by watching tournaments on television or traveling to a warmer climate where he can fulfill his urge to golf. ❖

Grain Outlook Livestock Angles Grain Angles Corn market October positive Balance risk and lacks bullish input for livestock opportunity The following market analysis is for the week ending Oct. 26.

CORN — December corn closed lower five consecutive sessions as the week drew to a close Oct. 26.

The previous week it closed higher four out of five sessions, which leaves us virtually where we were on Oct. 15. For the week, December corn closed down 23 3/4 cents at $7.27 3/4.

The recent $7.76 to $7.32 1/4 trading range remains intact as more attention is focused on demand destruction as witnessed by weak exports and questionable PHYLLIS NYSTROM Country Hedging South American corn prospects.

St. Paul Argentina’s planting was approximately 37 percent complete versus 55 percent last year. Wet conditions have hindered planting progress. There didn’t seem to be one outstanding factor that pushed corn lower, but rather a lack of bullish input to attract new buyers.

Weekly export sales were only 5.6 million bushels with the corn market still a domestic market. Also announced this week was a previously released 270,000 metric tons optional origin sale to Mexico was reclassified as non-U.S. and presumably will be sourced from Brazil. The weekly number also included a cancellation

by China of 120,000 mt. Total U.S. export commitments are running 48 percent behind last year while this year’s export projection is calling for a 25-percent decline. Brazil’s corn is a $30 discount to U.S. origin, but it is smaller than the $50 discount the previous week, suggesting demand rationing may not be complete.

Weekly ethanol production was marginally higher at 801,000 barrels per day. Brazil announced they

So far October has been positive for livestock prices.

Both cattle and hogs have managed to advance to higher levels than at the beginning of the month.

Can this trend continue into November would be the only question at this juncture.

Cattle have been erratic but have managed to push higher with the help of improving beef cutouts and strong futures buying by the commodity funds. The packers have been relentless in trying to push the cutout prices higher to maintain their positive margins. This coupled with managed money rolling back into the futures conJOE TEALE tracts aided in the positive gains in Broker the cash trade and the overall atti- Great Plains Commodity tude of the cattle market.

Afton, Minn.

On Oct. 19, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released the Monthly Cattle on Feed Report with these results as compared to a year ago: on-feed, 97 percent; placed on-feed, 81 percent; and marketed, 88 percent. The report was seen as friendly particularly to the spring months as placements were below expectations.

In the near-term the cattle market may struggle if the boxed beef movement does not pick up. The problem being that the beef cutouts are once again above $190 per hundredweight basis choice and each time it has crossed this level the volume of trade in the beef has declined. Also with cattle weights at record high levels, the beef production has not been decreased as greatly as it normally would with the fewer numbers of cattle. This could halt the advancement in price over the near-term until weights significantly come down. Producers should continue to monitor the market a protect inventories when necessary.

As we wrap up harvest and prepare for winter, we look back on an amazing year in the markets.

Clearly, there was no lack of drama and more than enough volatility to cause sleepless nights. Everywhere that we look, we see risk and opportunity. It seems to be human nature to focus on one of these sets of circumstances more than the other. If we are bullish, we tend to focus on the opportunities. While, if we are bearish, the risks are all that we can see. It takes a great deal of discipline to maintain a healthy balance in this current market environment.

Risk is defined as the “potential TOM NEHER that a chosen action or activity AgStar VP & Team Leader — Grain Industry (including the choice of inaction) Rochester, Minn. will lead to a loss (an undesirable outcome).” The last several years the grain markets have rewarded those who accepted the risk of “inaction.” Those who did nothing in the way of proactive, pre-harvest marketing and simply held on to their grain un-priced until after harvest were rewarded with higher prices. This is unusual market behavior and there is little historical evidence to support this as a profitable, ongoing practice.

The power of regret (and anticipation of regret) can play a significant part in decision-making. We look back on what marketing strategies we should have used the last couple of years and we feel a sense of regret about lost opportunities.

The emotional components are oddly human. We feel worse about selling $6 corn and watching it trade to $8; than when we sell $6 corn after seeing trade at $8. It is all the same money, yet we strangely feel better selling into a “down” market than selling into a rally market.

NYSTROM, from pg. 10B will increase the ethanol blended into gasoline mandate from 20 percent to 25 percent sometime next May-June.

This should cut into the amount of Brazilian ethanol imported into the United States.

Outside factors cast a shadow over corn this week with many company quarterly reports showing disappointing returns. The third quarter GDP results were acceptable at face value at 2.0 percent versus expectations for 1.8 percent; however, 9.6 percent of the growth was attributed to federal spending.

Do you think the mega-storm moving up the eastern seaboard doesn’t affect the grain markets? Corn and bean harvest that is tributary to poultry producers is not complete. By some estimates, more than 40 million bushels of corn and 16 million bushels of soybeans may be at risk as Hurricane Sandy moves in.

OUTLOOK: While corn supplies remain tight, as evidenced by strong basis levels, the market needs to see some demand to spark buyers to action. Until export numbers gain some traction we are in for more range-bound type trade. Support levels in the December contract are $7.32 1/4 and $7.04 1/2, with resistance at $7.69 and $7.76 per bushel.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans extended their trend higher as the January contract gained 27 1/4 cents for the week to close at $15.63 3/4 per bushel. Demand remains firm as confirmed by decent weekly exports in beans and excellent meal sales. U.S. beans into China are competitive with China’s state reserve soybeans, and many importers would prefer new crop U.S. beans to older Chinese reserve beans.

South American weather has not been ideal early in the season. Argentina has received more than adequate rainfall to where it may be delaying planting in some areas. Argentine bean planting was 2 percent complete, 4 percent behind the average pace. Brazil still needs rainfall in the north where it’s hot, while the south and central regions have had adequate to excess rainfall.

Safras estimated total Brazilian bean planting at 28 percent complete versus 24 percent on average. One private company cut their soybean production estimates to 76.2 million mt for Brazil and 57 mmt for Argentina.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s latest forecasts are 81 mmt for Brazil and 55 mmt for Argentina.

Weekly export sales in soybeans were 19.2 million bushels, bringing to 76 percent the amount of total bean export commitments versus the USDA’s forecast. New sales of 225,000 mt of U.S. beans sold to unknown were announced this week.

OUTLOOK: Non-ideal early planting conditions in South America and good short-term demand are behind the continuing price strength. As a sideline, trade chatter is that the DJ/UBS commodity index will cut their investment in soybeans and increase meal exposure sometime in early January.

MARKETING

Pass the risk to others NEHER, from pg. 10B If risk and opportunities are “flip sides of the same coin,” then regret and overconfidence are likewise. In these profitable times for grain producers, everything that we do seems to make money.

This tends to lead to complacency and overconfidence.This can lead to taking on poorly managed risk and losing sight of the financial hazards along the way. Risk management will be the key to our ability to leverage the opportunities ahead.

Risk management is the “identification, assessment and prioritization of risks followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor and control the probability and/or impact of unfortunate events.”

It is easy to make the conclusion that the elimination of risk is the key to success. If this is one’s goal, little money will be made in our operations.

One must take some risk, in order to leverage the opportunities in the marketplace. The key is to find a balance between accepting some risks and mitigating others with risk management

tools and management practices.

The practice of “laying risk off onto others” is one to be mastered. The use of a “risk ledger” is helpful for monitoring and controlling the “probability and/or impact of unfortunate events.”

On one side of the ledger, list all of the identified risks. As the risk is mitigated, it is moved to the other side of the ledger. An example of un-priced grain, being at risk of being sold into a falling market is moved to the mitigated side of the ledger when it is priced.

We in production agriculture are risk takers. If we did not take the risk of putting the seed into the ground, we would never have a crop to harvest.

There is always weather risk and other production risk. Margin risk is ever present in this market environment.

We must learn how to give the risk to others whenever possible. We give up some of the “upside” opportunity when we do this, yet we eliminate the “downside” consequence. When this can be accomplished, while locking-in a profit, we position ourselves for success. ❖

tute of California, returned fire, defending Ross. DIC executive director, Rachel Kaldor, responded to what she termed were repeated attacks on California processors, especially those from the Milk Producers Council.

“Milk Producers Council has been painting a deliberately inaccurate picture of both the dairy industry and dairy policy despite pleas to provide truthful arguments to back up its often repeated, seldom fact-based claims,” she said.

“The MPC pattern of bullying and berating processors, the Department of Food and Agriculture and the secretary is decades long. But for the past months, that bullying and berating is aimed at getting the secretary to do something that will cause real damage for years to come, to California dairy farmers and processors.”

Kaldor said the MPC’s push to bring California’s Class 4b milk price in line with the federal order Class III price “failed to recognize milk production, processing and marketing conditions unique to California.”

She charged the MPC with creating “an illusory price difference between the federal Class III (which plants are not obligated to pay) and California Class 4b, (which plants must pay) and tell California dairy farmers that they are being cheated, by a ‘discount’ milk price.”

“MPC always fails to add the facts that: 1) despite the current short-term production pull-back, California is deficit in plant capacity with a long history of milk supplies pushing the limits of what the state’s plants can process; 2) California is the most distant from domestic commercial cheese markets and therefore has the highest cost of getting product to market; and 3) the Class 4b price must be a market-clearing price, because

there is no ‘de-pooling’ safety valve to allow milk to be price-based upon demand and competition like there is under the federal milk pricing system,” Kaldor said. Something tells me we haven’t heard the end of this.

■ On a lighter note, as part of its efforts to revitalize one of the most recognized product symbols in the food industry, the National Milk Producers Federation announced this week that the Real Seal is undergoing a makeover including a revamped website at www.realseal.com. The new website will contain more content to educate consumers on why they should look for the Real Seal on the foods they buy.

The NMPF’s Jerry Kozak said that “imitation products made from vegetables and nuts, but packaged like real dairy products and often using dairy names, have proliferated in the last few years.

“For example, frozen desserts made out of soybeans are packaged the same as real ice cream made from cows’ milk, with pictures that make it look like real ice cream. The only way a consumer would know the product isn’t ice cream is by reading the ingredients label. The same is true for other processed foods made with imitation dairy products.”

“Currently, frozen pizza is essentially the only processed food that uses the Real Seal,” Kozak said, but one of the goals is to expand that to include terms like “Made With” real dairy, and “American Made,” along with specific dairy product names and have a fully integrated program up and running early in 2013.

Lee Mielke is a syndicated columnist who resides in Everson, Wash. His weekly column is featured in newspapers across the country and he may be reached at lkmielke@juno.com. ❖

TEALE, from pg. 10B It is now quite evident that the hog market has finally turned the corner on the prolonged downtrend that plagued the market from late-summer into the fall months. The catalyst behind the upward move has been the increased demand for pork and finally fewer numbers of hogs.

The pork cutouts had declined far enough to entice retailers to feature more pork. The fact that October is national pork month did not hurt either.

As we move into the latter part of October with pork cutouts near the $90 level, interest in pork has begun to slack

off. This could be the signal that the current recovery is coming to an end.

The competitive meat situation would continue to favor pork as the best value against all others, but demand will have to pick up once again to recharge the hog market to push on to higher prices. The upcoming USDA Cold Storage Report will give a clue as to the overall demand situation and could give the hog market direction for the next several weeks. Producers should approach the market with some caution and be prepared to protect their inventories for the near-term. ❖
