On the face of it, few things carry a more apt name than today’s “lame duck” Congress.

Indeed, how lame is it that after two years of raw partisanship and paralyzing inactivity, we believe two legislative bodies that haven’t agreed on what day it is since 2010 to — what — reform taxes, pass a 2013 budget, complete a 2012 farm bill and “save” Medicare and Social Security all in the next 30 days?

This Congress? The one with 39 House members fired by voters in 2012 and 22 others who wanted out so badly they didn’t even stand re-election, let alone 12 senators currently looking for both lobbying jobs and book publishers?

On second thought, maybe the truly lame ducks are us because we believe this dysfunctional Congress can complete in one month the work it couldn’t do in two years.

What’s not lame is the galactically long odds that

OPINION

Letter: U.S. is in a terrible mess To the Editor: Boy, I couldn’t agree with Staff Writer Dick Hagen more that the United States is in a terrible mess (Land Minds, Nov. 23).

Unfortunately, too many Americans were duped into voting for President Obama. We should extend the Bush tax cuts (especially for the mega-rich so they can help the rest of us) and eliminate corporate taxes. Also, end the estate tax and taxes on capital gains and dividends so that there will be more money for investments.

I also believe that the Social Security program should be turned into private investment accounts so that the stock market will boom. Obamacare should be abolished so we don’t have to pay for those who take advantage of it for nothing. Medicare should be turned over to insurance companies who have done such a good job of holding down the cost of health care. We really don’t need Medicaid.

Finally, we should get rid of all the frivolous regulations on business and those environmental regulations that hold back business. If we do all these things, we will be back on the road to prosperity.

Letter: Let’s give 4-H back to the youth To the Editor: Since I was a 4-H project leader of dairy and beef cattle for over 20 years in the past, it is very hard for me to accept what has happened to the projects of today.

They have become Mom and Dad projects because they are buying beef calves for thousands of dollars from cattle breeders. The youth are no longer required to keep records of feed, financial profits or loss, nor rate of gain of their animal. What an important lesson they are missing out on.

It is now a custom to keep the cattle in a 40- to 50degree cooler to make their hair coats grow longer which covers blemishes and improves their appearance for showing. This discourages many 4-H’ers from taking the projects because they cannot afford to do this. These practices can be used in national livestock shows, but should not be used in 4-H projects.

Study: Rachel Carson was wrong This year marks the 50th anniversary of Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring,” the book credited with launching the modern environmentalist movement.

Carson famously warned man-made chemicals, particularly pesticides, were a significant threat to human health.

In a new study published recently, Angela Logomasini, senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, argues history has proven Carson wrong.

Agrochemicals have not caused the “sinister” ills Carson predicted. In fact, it is her anti-chemical legacy that now poses a global risk both to food supply and the environment.

Logomasini reports: • The incidence of pesticide-related health problems is low. When the Centers for Disease Control investigated the health effects of widespread spraying to control mosquitoes carrying the West Nile virus during 1999-02, they found only two cases of definite health impacts and 25 probable cases.

• Agrochemicals help defend against the spread of disease. DDT, which many governments banned

after the publication of “Silent Spring,” had been used to control the spread of malaria, which now kills more than 1 million people annually. In Burkina Faso, applications of pesticides to livestock now help prevent transmission of trypanosomiasis — a potentially fatal disease spread by tsetse flies.

• Agrochemicals enable farmers to grow more crops per acre for longer periods, increasing global food supply.

THE LAND, DECEMBER 7, 2012

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent Of all the decorations that can be put up to celebrate the season of Christmas, there is one that truly expresses what Christmas is about — the nativity scene. It is also called a crèche or manger scene, depending on one’s tradition.

Ed Carberry.

Jesus, after all, is celebrated by Christians as the Savior of the whole world.

“I like the diversity of seeing the nativity through the eyes of one’s own culture,” Leach said.

Most of our nativity scenes have Caucasian figures, reflecting our European heritage. When Leach sought a Chinese nativity scene, she kept coming up with nativities “Made in China” but with Caucasian

by Chinese Christians.

The culture in which a nativity scene is made is reflected not only in the look of the people, she said, but also in the style of art, the material used, the colors, the animals and the setting. Her scene from Alaska has a stable shaped like an igloo, with a polar bear and a moose among the animals.

It is because of such unexpected details that one does not tire looking at Leach’s multiple nativity scenes. There is a newness to each one.

The scenes from Central and South America are often brightly colored, but not all. A nativity of the Holy Family and the wise men made in the Amazon is white with black markings.

“The figures wear the traditional costumes and have the facial artistry that is unique to the Ashaninka people of the Amazon rainforest,” Leach said. “The artist is Alberto Aparicio Canchari.”

The variety of African nativity scenes is equally fascinating. From Kenya alone Leach has one carved from black ebony, another carved from white kisii stone, another woven from banana See NATIVITY, pg. 7A “Providing the essential cutting edge products & product knowledge needed to excel in today’s agribusiness... effectively and on-time.”

Asia also figures large in her collection.A Nepal nativity scene is carved from lustrous reddish Karma wood. The hands of Mary are held with the palms out, which in our culture would suggest pushing away, but Leach explained that in Nepalese culture it is a sign of welcome.

Knowing about the artist and learning the symbolism they have used is one reason Leach supports World Nativity, a company started by a Salt Lake City man who sells nativities from around the world but takes no profit for himself. He is promoting native artists, and the scenes come with explanations of gestures and symbolism.

Leach retired in 2009 from Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall where she had served as director of the Academic and Diversity Resources Department. Since 2005 she has been a part-time priest at St. James Episcopal Church in Marshall. St. James is a small congregation that raised up a group of members as a ministry team, Leach being one of two who were ordained to the priesthood.

Her nativity collection “didn’t start as a collection,” she said. Her mother brought her a nativity set from Jerusalem, and a few years later traveled to Switzerland and brought her a nativity set from there.

“Then my kids gave me a nativity, and then I started collecting,” Leach said.

Of course, she has American nativity scenes, too, many given to her by family and friends. There is a ceramic one she purchased because she loved the colors. She has a large, full nativity scene made of brass with a wooden stable that was made in Minnesota.

And she has one with multiple angels made by local glassblower Ed Carberry.

“You never know where you’re going to find a nativity,” Leach said, showing both a bracelet and a cigarette lighter with nativity scenes on them.

One of her favorites she recently purchased through World Nativity. It was made by a young man in wartorn Liberia. He walked through the city streets and picked up empty bullet casings, using each casing to make a figure in the scene.

“He wanted to make peace out of war,” Leach said.

“That is absolutely one of my favorites.”

Once a year Leach’s nativity scenes are opened to the public. It is part of her congregation’s “Anglican Christmas: From the Nativity to the Victorian.” The basement of the church building is filled with the Victorian Village of Charlotte Wendel. A few blocks up the street Leach opens her home for folks to view her nativity scenes.

“Anglican Christmas: From the Nativity to the Victorian” is the second week in December. The days and times when the nativity scenes are open for viewing along with other activities and directions are at the congregation’s website, www.stjamesepiscopalmarshall.com.

Tips on selecting a healthy fresh Christmas tree its soft flexible branches.

White spruce has the shortest needle length, about half-inch, followed by the 1-inch needles of Colorado spruce and the firs. The needle length of Scots, white and Norway pine are 2- to 3inches, 3- to 4-inches and 4- to 6-inches, respectively. If you are looking for a child- or pet-proof tree, try a Colorado spruce with its stiff pointed needles or a Scots pine with its rigid needles.

If it is pain-free decorating you are after, choose one of the firs or a white pine as they are all known for the softness of their needles.

As you search for the perfect Christmas tree, consider all of the factors including price, tree color, fragrance, branch stiffness and needle softness, length and retention. Typically, Scots pine is the most inexpensive of Christ-

mas trees while Colorado spruce and Fraser fir are often the most expensive species. Trees are generally priced by specie, then by size, the taller the tree, the higher the cost.

If a large Christmas tree is a little too daunting to care for, but you still enjoy a fresh tree during the holidays, consider a table top holiday plant such as a tropical houseplant, a potted white spruce or a potted Norfolk Island pine. These plants are often simpler to care for as they are much smaller, but still create a festive spirit for the holiday season. Happy holidays and happy decorating.

in a tarp on top of your vehicle to prevent wind desiccation (drying).

Cut one inch off of the bottom of your tree immediately before putting it into your tree stand so that the tree can continue to take up water. Add water to the tree stand immediately and check the water level two to three times per day for the first few days and daily after that, always keeping the water level above the base of the tree.

Fresh trees can use one quart of water per inch of trunk diameter each day so be sure to use a tree stand that holds enough water for a 24-hour period. If the stand goes dry, water uptake will stop and your tree will desiccate rapidly. The best placement of your tree to prevent desiccation is away from direct sunlight, heaters, furnace vents and fireplaces.

Balsam firs are often mentioned as the most fragrant of Christmas trees, followed closely by the other firs and white pine. Canaan firs have become popular Christmas trees because customers often say the Canaan fir combines the silvery beauty of a Fraser fir with the appealing scent of a balsam fir. On the flip side, many feel the crushed needles of white or Colorado spruce is an unpleasant scent.

If you decorate with heavy ornaments, consider buying a Scots pine or a Colorado spruce; their stiff branches will support such ornaments. Fraser fir has the sturdiest branches of the firs. White pine is best decorated with lightweight ornaments, bows and ribbons because of

The holiday season is upon us, and for many it is time to set out and find that fresh Christmas tree.

In Minnesota, Christmas tree selection at a local farm or lot includes choosing from an array of evergreens that include Scots pine, Norway pine, white pine, white spruce, Colorado spruce, balsam fir, Canaan fir or Fraser fir.

University of Minnesota Extension horticulturist Kathy Zuzek gives us a look at what some of the attributes for each tree might be, and tips for keeping that tree green and healthy throughout the season.

No one likes a Christmas tree that drops its needles too early during the four to five weeks of the holiday season.

Pines have the best overall needle retention followed by the firs and then the spruces. Check the freshness of the tree you have selected before leaving the tree lot by shaking it or running your hand gently over a branch and watching for the amount of needle drop.

A few needles dropping from the outer edges of the tree branches is to be expected; large amounts of needle drop may be cause for concern. Needles and branch ends should feel flexible rather than dry and brittle.

More important than the selection of tree species, though, is the care that you give to your tree after you leave the tree lot or farm. If your drive home from the tree lot involves highway speeds and is over 15 minutes long, try to transport your tree inside of a vehicle or wrapped

Kitchen gifts silly and wasteful, or basic and everlasting I am amazed at the number of dumb (silly) small appliances that are on the market today: cotton candy maker, chocolate fountain, cake pop/donut hole baker, mini pie baker, snow cone maker. And that’s just for the sweets.

You also can have a hot dog roller, pretzel maker, corn dog maker, pigs in the blanket maker, and more. Most of them cost around $20 except for the soda maker and a jam and jelly maker that cost around $100.

Why do I think they are dumb (silly)?

An appliance that cooks just one food is a silly use of money and a waste of space in the kitchen. It will end up in the landfill in a year or two.

If you are thinking about giving kitchenware this holiday or helping someone set up a home, consider buying the best basic cooking tools you can afford; they will last a lifetime.

More expensive Knives — The three I use the most are a paring knife for peeling and trimming, a chef knife for chopping, and a knife with a serrated edge for cutting bread and tomatoes.

Pans — The three pans I use all the time are a medium (3 quart) sauce pan with a lid for cooking

sauces, vegetables, rice, etc.; a large skillet with a lid (12 inches or more) for stir frying, browning, sandwiches; and a stock pot (10 quarts) for pasta and soups.

Less expensive Measuring cups and spoons — Correct measuring tools are especially important for baking, but I use them when cooking also. Look for sets to measure dry ingredients that include four measuring cups: 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup and 1 cup measures. Add measuring spoon sets including 1/4 teaspoon, 1/2 teaspoon, 1 teaspoon and 1 tablespoon. Complete this gift with a clear cup that has measuring marks on the side and a spout to pour liquids.

Cutting boards — I like the plastic boards because they are inexpensive, flexible, easy to store and dishwasher safe. I use several boards at once so I don’t mix vegetables and raw meat on the same board. Some people designate one board for meat and poultry, another for vegetables and fruits and another for breads.

Peeler — I use this all the time for potatoes, carrots, apples, kiwi and mangos because I don’t trim off as much of the food as when I use a knife.

Wooden spoons — These are great for stirring without scratching your pans, and they don’t conduct

heat so you can leave them in the pot if you like.

Rubber spatulas — I have two sizes. The large one I use to stir and fold batter and to scrape the inside of bowls. The small one I use to scrape small cans like tomato paste or peanut butter.

Whisks — These are great for making sauces and beating eggs or thin batters. Even though a cook can get by with a fork, the whisk works better and is easier to grasp.

Colander/strainer — This is a handy tool for draining pasta, vegetables, berries and more.

Instant read thermometer — Important for knowing when meat and poultry are done and for reheating food.

Mixing bowls — A basic set is one large and one small.

Can opener — Give a basic turn-the-crank model that can be cleaned when dirty and stored in a drawer.

If you are gifting someone who loves to bake, you might consider: • 9 x 13 pan (used for cakes, bars, casseroles) • Baking sheet (used for cookies and rolls) • Loaf pan, pie pan or muffin pan • Cooling rack Not necessary, but nice: garlic press, weight scale, grater.

‘What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’ proves true for Halls

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent The evening of Aug. 3, 2006, Daniel and Terese Hall stood in the middle of their farmyard with their four sons — Jeremy, Andy, Tony, and Mike, all in their 20s. It was the one clear spot in the yard that was not covered with debris. And it was decision time.

Two days before, at about 7:20 p.m., a tornado had dropped out of the sky, stayed about 90 seconds, wiped out the homestead, and lifted again. Daniel and Terese had been at Farmfest, promoting their fencing enterprise, Southwest Minnesota K Fence.

Jeremy was on his way into Mountain Lake, Minn., to have supper with his wife.

Andy, Tony and Mike had come into the house, put a pizza in the oven, and set the timer for 23 minutes. They never ate the pizza. As the weather turned ugly they headed to the basement, barely making it in time to huddle under the basement stairs and watch the sky appear as the house blew away.

About an hour from home the Hall’s cell phone rang. Michael delivered the terse report: “The place is gone. There’s nothing left, but nobody got hurt.”

When Dan and Terese arrived home and drove into the yard, Dan wasn’t sure where he was at.

“It’s the first time I’ve ever been lost in my own yard,” he said. “I could not get my bearings.”

As he drove in he remarked, “This isn’t where the driveway was.” Terese reminded him, “Dan, that’s the only thing that didn’t move.”

Having weathered other crises, things had been looking up for the Hall family. Back in 1980 they built the house in which they had raised their four sons. Then the farm crisis hit and they nearly lost everything.

The Hall family from Mountain Lake, Minn., has a lot to be grateful for this holiday season, as they continue to rebound from a tornado that wiped out their home and business.

Standing, left to right: Mike, Andy, Tony, Jeremy and Daniel. Kneeling with Terese are Mike’s wife, Angela, and their daughter, Addyson.

“We were a feedlot and that’s what broke us in the 1980s,” Dan said.

“We were losing $300 a head. Pretty soon our equity was pretty well gone.”

When the last of the cattle went on the truck, Dan said he was never owning cattle again.

And they didn’t for quite a while.

Following their auction, Dan was employed for a while at a corporate hog operation, and they worked at growing the fence business they had started with their four sons, all of whom helped with installation.

It was a stressful time that led to another crisis. In the early 1990s Terese had a heart attack while grocery shopping. She actually finished buying the groceries and drove herself to the hospital. She recovered without surgery, but described it as “a wake-up

call” to pay attention to healthy eating and dealing with stress.

Dan, who liked working with livestock and always did a lot of reading, was attracted by grazing.

“Grazing looked like a way to cut down input costs considerably, so that’s when we started experimenting with grazing,” Dan said.

“Growing corn and soybeans wasn’t looking good with big loans at the bank,” Terese said. So basically See HALL, pg. 13A

Future plans were a family decision from the start nesses and helped their dad complete some fence projects. The Land ran ads informing people who had orders with Southwest Minnesota K Fence to call the Halls because all of their paperwork had been blown away.

With no buildings or trees in the way, they decided to erect one large building to house all of the sons’ businesses, with living quarters on one end. They See HALL, pg. 14A

HALL, from pg. 12A they switched to growing grass, and let cattle do the harvesting.

Dan became the raiser of grass-fed beef. Terese did the direct marketing. Their herd and marketing was just getting established in 2006. Their family was getting established, too.

Early on their sons had discovered an interest and aptitude for mechanics, buying old snowmobiles and rebuilding them. Jeremy attended Ridgewater College in Willmar, Minn., and was enticed to stay on as an instructor where he teaches industrial and robotic welding, but he and his family still live near the homeplace, and when not teaching he helps with fence installation or in his brothers’ shops.

As each of his brothers graduated from technical college, they returned to the farm to set up their businesses. Andy set up a welding shop on the farm in which he does design, fabrication and rebuilding.

Tony also came back to the farm and established Hall and Carlson Performance Machining in which he rebuilds engines and does head repair, brake work, flywheel resurGrazing looked facing and crankshaft like a way to grinding and balanccut down input ing. costs considerIn 2006, Mike had ably, so that’s just graduated and was looking for a when we place on the already started expericrowded farm where menting with he could open his grazing. hydraulics and machining business.

When the tornado destroyed the homestead, that included the Hall brothers businesses.

And because of the time of day, the grazing herd had returned to the barn. Twenty-five injured cattle had to be shot. The others would recover, but not to a condition to be sold on the direct market. The only enterprise that survived was the fence company, because Dan and Terese had it with them at Farmfest.

Two nights later, as they stood in the middle of their devastated homestead, the future was truly a family decision. The sons could move their businesses to available buildings in town. Dan and Terese could take their insurance check and get out of farming all together.

The decision was unanimous. They weren’t going anywhere. They would rebuild right there. Other crises hadn’t chased them away, and neither would a tornado.

After taking some time to clean away debris, they had to start making money. Friends loaned a portable shop to the brothers. Needing some immediate income, for a time the brothers left their busi-

Merry Christmas from your friends at

Housing taking a back seat HALL, from pg. 13A hired AmeriBuilt to put up the 60-foot x 204-foot outside shell. Dan and his sons completed the rest. It was designed for efficiency. They installed heating in the concrete floors, put up insulation and interior walls.

They custom-built hydraulic overhead doors, and sprinkled the shops with overhead cranes for the heavy work they do.

They built walls to divide the businesses and built upstairs storage. On one end of the building is the office. On the other end will be living quarters.

As with pioneer families, housing has taken a backseat. Jeremy and Mike live on nearby farms with their families; Dan, Terese, Andy, and Tony are still living in the basement of their former house (which will become headquarters for the fence business when the new living quarters are finally completed).

Dan and Terese are rebuilding their grazing herd.

They currently have 80 head. Terese direct markets as much of the grassfed beef as she has time to do, but some still has to be sold at We’ve been auction. blessed with “What doesn’t kill faith, family you makes you and friends. stronger,” Terese said.

You have to like what you do.” Terese thinks that helped her sons in choosing what they did and why they are back together, working on the farm.

It also applies to Dan’s love for raising animals. He couldn’t stay away from livestock altogether, so he found a less capital-intensive way of raising it.

Terese’s heart attack may have adjusted her lifestyle, but not her work ethic. She direct markets their beef, as well as the broilers and geese she raises, serves on numerous committees, and keeps the whole household organized.

“We’ve been blessed,” Terese said, “with faith, family and friends. Your circle needs all three. Living on the land and working with livestock, you work with the good Lord each and every day.”

A sense of humor helps, too.

Two days after the tornado, Tony found the stove in the pasture, with the pizza still in the oven. He came home and reported his find.

“Mom,” he said, “it needed two more minutes.” ❖

Like most bird dog owners, Paul Ostoff is keenly aware of nuances of his canine hunting partner’s behavior.

And seven months after his Munsterlander pointer (picture a dog resembling a tall springer spaniel with a long tail, Ostoff says) was struck by a car while crossing the street to greet a neighbor, it was apparent that something was amiss with the 7-year-old dog.

“I took her to the vet after being hit and everything checked out — nothing broken, nothing out of whack,” he said.

But while the dog initially seemed to recover from the encounter, over the next several months, Ostoff noticed a significant decline in the dog’s physical abilities.

“She was struggling just to get up steps,” he said. “I was started to think it was time to look for a new hunting dog.”

Then Ostoff’s wife heard of a chiropractic clinic in St. Peter, Minn., that in addition to treating humans, also offered chiropractic treatment for animals.

“Instead of investing all the money and emotion in a new dog, I though it was worth a try,” he said.

He made a call to Seth Nelson at Rising Sun Chiropractic for an appointment.

Advertorial Weather conditions affecting the 2012 crops resulted in yields that were surprising to some and disappointing to most in our area.

As a result, tax planning strategies that proved beneficial in “normal” years with trend-line crop yields may not be the answer in 2012.

Taxpayers who normally target a specific amount of tax to pay may find it difficult to manage their tax liability either up or down to their “normal” level depending on their situation. Because the federal tax code gives farmers unique opportunities to manage their income and social security tax liabilities, we have highlighted some tax planning strategies you may consider as you meet with your tax advisor for year-end planning.

Marginal Tax Rates: Manage your tax liability without focusing on the total tax bill. Instead, place more emphasis on the marginal tax rates and strive to maximize the number of dollars taxed at the lower rates. Today’s historically low rates are very tax efficient and your goal should be to take full advantage of those brackets even if your actual tax bill is higher than prior years. At the federal level there is lively discussion about tax rates with the fiscal cliff looming. As lawmakers attempt to resolve this issue, stay tuned for possible changes in federal tax rates.

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

Prepaid Expenses: Prepaid expenses are permitted as an income deduction if they will normally be consumed in a 12 month period and do not exceed 50% of the current year’s deductible expenses including depreciation. Prepaid expenses are not a deposit on account, but instead are a purchase of a specific quantity of a specific product at a specific price. These purchases should be accompanied by an invoice or they may be disqualified by the IRS as a nondeductible deposit. Prepaid expenses are only allowed by the IRS if they are clearly supported by business reasons such as mitigating price risk or securing early order supplier discounts.

Deferred Commodity Sales: The tax code provides cash method farmers the opportunity to sell inventory under the installment sale provision. To qualify as deferred sale under this provision, you must have a written contract with the buyer that specifies the amount of the sale and the date of the deferred cash payment. Payment for the deferred sale may be extended beyond the first day of the new year but consideration should be given to your cash flow requirements and the counter party risk associated with the buyer. If income doesn’t come in as expected, your tax advisor may elect to recognize one or more of those deferred sales contracts in the current year.

Deferred Crop Insurance Proceeds: This year, farmers who insured their crops and experienced significant yield losses may be eligible to receive a sizeable crop insurance indemnity payment. Subject to passing a number of IRS tests, you may elect to postpone reporting insurance proceeds on damaged crops from the year of the damage. Consult your tax advisor to see if you qualify to make this election.

Accelerated Depreciation: Section 179 expensing and bonus depreciation provide excellent opportunities for farmers to accelerate the depreciation of assets for income tax purposes. Through December 31, 2012, businesses are allowed 50% bonus depreciation on new assets and a $139,000 Section 179 expensing limit which can be applied to both new and used assets purchased from an unrelated party. For 2013, the 50% bonus depreciation will phase out and the Section 179 deduction will drop to $25,000 if Congress does not change the law. Remember that an asset must be placed in service before the IRS will allow you to realize a deduction for its depreciation. Also keep in mind, for state income tax purposes, the full amount of bonus depreciation or Section 179 expensing may not be fully allowed in the first year but rather spread out over a number of years. Ask your tax advisor about bonus depreciation and Section 179 expensing limitations specific to your state.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Farm Income Averaging: Farm income can electively be “averaged” by applying a portion of current farm income equally to the prior three years. You will need to work with your tax advisor to make the optimum election. For self-employed taxpayers, it can be advantageous to spike income this year to exceed the $110,100 FICA maximum contribution and tax the excess farm income at only the 2.9% Medicare self employment tax rate. At the same time, income averaging can be utilized to hold down the income tax rate.

Retirement Plan Funding: Most farmers don’t maximize retirement plan funding. With special consideration for employee coverage rules and contribution limits, your tax advisor can analyze your situation to determine whether a SIMPLE, SEP, 401(k), defined contribution plan, or even a defined benefit plan is the best fit. Unlike the previously mentioned tax planning strategies, retirement plans provide a long-term tax deferral and are a creditor-proof asset.

If taxable income isn’t where you thought it would be after considering these points, consult your tax advisor for additional tax planning strategies. In your quest to manage taxable income, remember that profitability is your objective. Even though it’s taxable, business income generates the cash you need to reduce debt, acquire assets and fund investments your family will enjoy!

Pet pigs a ‘big irritation’ but cuteness overwhelms

By Terri Schlichenmeyer office, his dog’s bed, the living room, the sofa and the kitchen. They were little thieves, and stole family possessions, too.

Eventually, with the help of a handyman friend who knew pigs, Whyman created an outdoor pen for his growing pets. He learned everything he could about being a “pig farmer,” including how to measure a boy pig’s, uh, potential.

He also learned that even though his porkers were petite, they could tear apart a yard, a garden, a henhouse, the neighbor’s orchard — and a marriage.

In the mood for a book that will make you squeal with a case of The Cutes? Then here’s what you do: take five parts “Marley,” shrink it by three-quarters, put it on cloven hooves and give it a curly tail. That’s what you get when you read “Oink.”

Whyman gives his readers a breathless sense of chaos in this book. It starts almost immediately and becomes nearly slapstick as this definite city-boy learns to be a “farmer,” complete with certified papers. That’s good enough, but what

“Oink: My Life with Mini-Pigs”

By Matt Whyman c.2011, Simon and Schuster $15 315 pages

surprised me was the truth that Whyman willingly shares: his pigs were often a big irritation and they caused real problems.

Still, don’t be fooled into thinking that this story ends badly. It doesn’t.

I believe farmers will find a lot to laugh about in this book, now in paperback. Animal lovers and pet parents will almost melt when they read it because, really, look at that cover for “Oink.” How can you resist it?

Look for the reviewed book at a bookstore or a library near you. You may also find the book at online book retailers.

The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Terri has been reading since she was 3 years old and never goes anywhere without a book. She lives in Wisconsin with three dogs and 10,000 books. ❖

THE LAND, DECEMBER 7, 2012

The kids have been begging for a pet.

And you’ve resisted — so far.

You know who’d be walking a puppy at 7 a.m. Food bowls would go empty unless you filled them, water bowls would look like the Sahara, and you’re pretty sure that a litter box would be deemed “gross!” within a week.

Still, how can you resist a cute face? How can you resist falling in love with a fuzzy baby? You can’t, and neither could Matt Whyman. In his book “Oink: My Life with Mini-Pigs,” he squeals on his new pets.

Whyman always knew that his wife wanted a big family. Her childhood “was not a happy one,” and she longed for what she never had. That didn’t necessarily mean offspring of the human kind, however.

Emma Whyman was happy with animals — lots of animals, which is why the Whymans moved to the English countryside. There, four children and two adults were joined by two cats, four rabbits, three hens and a large Canadian shepherd.

So when one of the cats met an untimely demise and the children were inconsolable, work-athome Whyman knew a replacement pet was imminent and he realized who would assume responsibility for it. He tried to reason with his family, but it was no use — particularly when they spied two adorable porcine faces online.

The mini-pigs were “cuteo-rama.”

Roxi and Butch were no bigger than kittens; in fact, they arrived at the Whyman house in a cat carrier. Their size, though, belied their determination: the mini-pigs quickly took over Whyman’s

‘Minnesota Lunch’: More than a meal between breakfast, dinner

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent Before we start the main portion of “Cookbook Corner,” allow me to take a moment to thank the most important people in this column’s life: you, the readers.

You are the reason for the season(ing). You are my inspiration and my muse, the attentive, grateful and educational audience that I search out the best recipes for.

Here’s a shout-out to a long-time fan of this column, in its many permutations: Dianne Walters of Wells, Minn., a wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother whose birthday comes around Christmastime and who always looks forward to this column. One of her special recipes: Creamed Chicken & Biscuits 1 small onion, chopped

Cookbook Corner

1 1/2 teaspoons butter 4 cups chopped cooked chicken 1 can cream of chicken soup 1 cup sour cream 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup chopped pimentos 1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese 6 frozen biscuits, thawed Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease the bottom and sides of an 11x7 pan. Sauté onion in butter. Combine onion, chicken, soup, sour cream, milk and pimentos in a bowl and mix well. Put in greased pan and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Arrange biscuits over top. Bake again until biscuits are golden brown and sauce is

Let’s discuss the importance of lunch, shall we?

Breakfast is usually something you can make halfasleep, such as burnt toast, while dinner gets a bunch of glamorous recipes, such as Poached Wine with Caramelized Truffle Vapor.

The humble lunch, however, is a soothing respite from a hectic schedule, a necessary timeout to refuel and reflect and, possibly, the best thing that’s happened to us so far each day. After all, you see what we had for breakfast.

“Minnesota Lunch: From Pasties to Banh Mi” (Minnesota Historical Society Press) is a tribute to that beacon of joy we call lunch. Filled with fresh recipes and loads of good interpretive writing on our melting-pot culture, it’s a book worth sharing for both the food and the stories. The recipes that follow come from a variety of Minnesota restaurants that have been serving them to grateful customers for many years.

Next time you have pork roast, try seasoning it with an easy Asian-style spice rub like they do at Vina’s Restaurant in Richfield. With the red food col-

bubbly, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

Doesn’t that just scream “Grandma’s home cooking?”

Family and tradition are important to Dianne, and her sister Becky Linde of Janesville, Minn., (in cahoots with me on this shout-out) shares this: “Every Christmas Eve of my life has been spent the same way: enjoying a bowl or two of oyster stew and opening presents, then going to candlelight service at church. What a simple and perfect day.”

I hope you find simplicity and perfection in your kitchen this holiday season.

MINNESOTA LUNCH, from pg. 22A oring, it’ll even look like the restaurant pork. The five-spice powder adds an exotic Vietnamese flavor.

Vina’s Restaurant Roast Pork 1 teaspoon five-spice powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 teaspoons soy sauce 1 teaspoon sesame oil A few drops of red food coloring (optional) 2 pounds pork butt, sliced into two or three pieces and skin thoroughly cleaned (optional: remove skin) Mix first six ingredients together in a small bowl.

Rub mixture evenly over pork. Place pork in a dish and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate five hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Place pork in a roasting pan, cover with aluminum foil, and roast on center oven rack for 40 minutes, or until cooked through.

Cool to room temperature.

Meatloaf in its many forms goes over pretty well at my house, so with sons home from college I made the Cheeky Monkey version, which garnered four out of four yums from the Johnson clan.

It’s very tender (the Parmesan cheese and ground veal take care of that), flavorful, moist and yummy while hot, then sets up nicely in the fridge so you can easily slice the rest for sandwiches.

Cheeky Monkey Meatloaf Sandwich 1 pound ground beef 1 pound ground veal 1 pinch red pepper flakes 5 cups grated Parmesan cheese 3 cups chopped fresh parsley 1 pinch thyme 1 clove garlic, chopped 1 egg 1 egg yolk 4 1/2 cups fine bread crumbs 1 pinch salt 1 pinch black pepper 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 cup lemon juice 2 tablespoons half-and-half Preheat oven to 325 F. In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients. Transfer mixture to ungreased loaf pan and bake 50 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160 F. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Sambusas are the triangular fried or baked pastries with savory fillings associated with India, Asia, the Mediterranean and Africa. You’ve probably had them as appetizers and wondered what in the world they put in them that was so delicious. Well, here you go.

“Halal” translates to “permissible” under Islamic law — sort of like the term “kosher” for Jewish law — and means that the animal had its neck ritually sliced rather than being “shot, boiled or electrocuted”.

If you still have an appetite after that little tidbit, try: Zahra’s Beef Sambusa Filling 2 pounds halal ground beef (very lean) 1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon

Experiment to find the best toys for man’s best friend Tennis balls, Frisbees, rawhides and Kongs line the shelves of pet stores.

As you face these choices, which toys should or shouldn’t you buy for man’s best friend?

Dog owners first giving toys to their pets should buy a variety of items to see what the animal prefers, said Mark Stickney, clinical associate professor and director of general surgery services at Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.

“They are going to have a toy preference the same way that children have toy preferences,” he said. “Once you determine their favorites, you can adjust your selection and your budget accordingly for the toys that entertain your pet.”

Stickney said it’s important to make sure the toy is made of nontoxic material and is the appropriate size for the

After giving a dog toys, Stickney said, it’s important to watch the pet for a few hours.

“You need to watch them to make sure they are not going to end up hurting themselves on it by tearing it into pieces, swallowing it or cutting themselves on it,” he said.

Once you know your pets can’t get into trouble with their new toys, it is fine to leave them alone.

“That is the beauty of having things that enrich their lives,” he said. “This way, they have something to do when the fun people are out of the house for a while. It keeps them busy.”

Grain Outlook Livestock Angles Grain Angles River navigation Standoff between Rural ‘brain drain’ a major concern packers, feedlots returning home The following market analysis is for the week ending Nov. 30.

CORN — Corn managed to hang on to a three-cent gain this past week, topping at $7.67 1/2, before closing at $7.52 3/4 per bushel as deliveries against the December contract began.

For the month the March contract was down 4 1/4 cents. The December 2013 contract gained a dime for the week to settle at $6.35 1/2 per bushel. Questions about river navigation heavily influenced the December contract as it weakened considerably against deferred contracts PHYLLIS NYSTROM when it entered into delivery.

CHS Hedging Inc. Retreating water levels on the St. Paul Mississippi River have driven freight rates higher with reduced drafts and no freight offered for sale for December to February over concerns of a possible river closure. Barge companies are concerned that once they move barges north, they may not be able to get them moved back south in a timely fashion. Shippers are concerned that barges may get stranded above St. Louis and not be available to meet export commitments.

Rock blasting will hopefully begin sooner than later and a push to release more water from the Missouri River is being sought. Several barge lines have dropped drafts to 8 foot. Shippers lose 200 tons per foot of lost draft. This situation is dire as it may result in an effective closure of the river north of St. Louis.

South American weather hasn’t been ideal with rain returning to Argentina and dry conditions to

Over the past several weeks, the hog and cattle markets have been moving in opposite directions.

This is not an unusual occurrence over the years.

However, this time it is the hog prices that are moving higher and the cattle prices moving lower. Are we seeing a change in the price relationship between the two or is this just a temporary adjustment?

The cattle market has been struggling for several weeks attempting to move higher because of decreased numbers.

With packer margins in the red, packers have been reluctant to pay higher prices for inventory.

There has been a virtual standoff JOE TEALE between the packers and the Broker feedlots, both attempting to move Great Plains Commodity prices in the direction most Afton, Minn. advantageous to each. This resulted in prices remaining nearly unchanged for several weeks before slipping in the last week of November.

A major problem for the cattle market continues to be the slow movement of beef product. With beef cutouts in the mid- to upper-$190 per hundredweight, demand has continued to be a problem as retail and export business have slowed. Beef production remains relatively high in spite of the fact that slaughter levels are lower. The problem being that cattle weights are at all-time highs which keeps beef production per animal at higher levels. Which in turn, to some degree, negates the lower number of cattle available for slaughter. Producers should consider the current market conditions and consider protecting inventory if necessary.

Grain producers have been living in the “best of times” these last few years. Profits for the most part have been easy to capture. There is renewed interest in agriculture, and younger generations wanting to return to farming. This has followed decades of young people looking for other opportunities to work in more lucrative careers. Many rural communities “exported” highly educated young people, who were raised with a work ethic that urban employers were glad to hire. This created what sociologists call a “brain drain” in many rural communities.

With the current grain production economics, many of these TOM NEHER folks who left their rural home- AgStar VP & Team Leader towns for the bright lights of the — Grain Industry Rochester, Minn. city want to return to their roots.

They have found that it is not as simple as just wanting to get back into farming. The business has become so “capital intensive” that many people simply do not have the resources to put together a farming operation without significant outside assistance.

Some families have worked all of their lives to pay off farms and build financial security, only to mortgage those farms in order to try and expand the operations to support another family. This is a real dilemma for many farm families. Parents want to see their children continue farming as they have, yet they are risking their financial security and retirement in the process.

Many of the younger generation who had built careers in the urban setting, have grown to enjoy the rewards of an urban lifestyle that is vastly different

Soy meal sales highest of year; oil nearly as good barrels per day to 803,000 barrels/day.

Ethanol margins are estimated at negative 10 to 20 cents per gallon, possibly limiting production in the coming weeks. We are on pace to meet the USDA corn for ethanol forecast of 4.5 billion bushels.

As we prepared to go home for the week, AAA issued a report that stated they do not support using E15, saying consumers may unknowingly damage their engines by using it in models not approved for its use. In their survey, they found less than 5 percent of cars were approved by their manufacturers for E15. Weekly export sales were uneventful at 9.3 million bushels, keeping us 45 percent behind last year.

Hogs on good recovery rally TEALE, from pg. 26A

Since packer margins were good in comparison to other meats, the accu-

mulation of hogs by the packer continued. As pork cutouts moved higher the packer has become more willing to be more aggressive in acquiring inventory and thus the current strength in hog prices. With all the economic uncertainty in the world at present, a cautious approach should be taken toward the hog market and for that matter all other markets until a clear picture develops.

Therefore, because of this situation and the change in the basis in the hog market from a discount to a premium, producers should approach the market with trepidation and protect inventories when appropriate. ❖

Homecomings a blessing families manage through these challenging decisions. When a lifetime of work is on the line, it may be money well spent to bring in some highly skilled professionals to help organize the efforts and ask the challenging questions.

Rural communities are facing another challenge with this “brain drain” that is returning home. The challenge is how to leverage the returning talent, which has enjoyed lifestyles and events that many in their hometowns did not experience.

This can be a challenge, yet it truly is a blessing for these communities to have some of the brightest students from their high school graduating classes return to make investments in their communities. We are truly blessed to enjoy the freedom to pursue our dreams. These are grain angles worth leveraging. ❖

NEHER, from pg. 26A than what their parents enjoyed early in their farming careers. Some have found that they had married spouses during their urban career days who never thought they would live on a farm. For some, this has created some lifestyle challenges that they never anticipated early in their marriages.

If families are in this type of situation the challenge becomes one of expanding the grain production operations to a size to support an urban lifestyle, still allowing the retiring generation the security they have spent a lifetime to accomplish. Many have found that these situations place greater demands on their managerial skills and abilities.

Fortunately, there is a small, yet growing number of consulting professionals who are skilled at helping farm

concern later in the winter.

Weekly export sales for beans at 11.7 million bushels put us at 74 percent of the projected total for the year but were the second lowest of this marketing year. Meal sales were the largest of the marketing year at 365,000 tons, bringing sales to 64 percent of the yearly forecast. Oil sales were impressive, but expected on last week’s announcement.

OUTLOOK: January soybeans were up 20 cents this week at $14.38 3/4 per bushel and November 2013 was 19 3/4 cents higher at $13.04 1/2 per bushel.

For November, the January contract was down $1.10 per bushel. First support in the January contract is $14.19 1/4, then $14; resistance $14.72, then $14.95 1/4 per bushel. Until there is more confidence that South American production and logistics will be able to meet world demand, the downside should be limited.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending Nov. 30: March Minneapolis wheat was 11 3/4 cents higher, Chicago only advanced 2 cents and Kansas City led with a 17 3/4 cent increase. Dry conditions and declining conditions were behind the advances.

January crude oil was up 63 cents at $88.91, keeping in its $90 to $85 range.

The heating oil fell 2 1/2 cents, gasoline increased a penny while natural gas collapsed 47 1/4 cents on mild weather. The U.S. dollar index was nearly unchanged for the week. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange/Kansas City Board of Trade purchases should be complete as of Dec. 3.

The hog market has been on a good recovery rally during November. Pork product movement has picked up once again as pork cutouts bottomed after the long decline starting with last summer’s highs. Because of the disparity between pork and the other meats, it appears that the shift in demand for lower-priced meat sources turned to pork product. This shift resulted in packers seeking more live inventory despite the fact that cold storage numbers were quite high.

Sales could increase later if Argentina’s acreage shrinks.

OUTLOOK: Corn has returned to its $7.30 to $7.75 trading range, which could remain until the calendar turns to a new year. South American weather and export demand are the top issues to monitor. As for new crop, our drought has not been broken and even with average rain it will be difficult to have surplus going into the spring. According to a United Nations report, the United States is on pace to have the warmest year on record in the lower 48 states.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans were pulled higher by the products. Weekly meal sales were the highest for the marketing year and oil sales were nearly as good at last week’s impressive number. Bean oil commitments have surpassed the USDA projected total for the year by 5 percent. Farmer sales have been non-existent for a few weeks now and good crush margins are good.

Basis levels have been steady/mixed depending on your region. China purchased 290,000 metric tons of U.S. beans this week with sources indicating they still need 3 mmt to 4 mmt of beans for January to March.

How many acres in Argentina may be switched to beans due to wet conditions preventing the final push for corn planting? A major bank lowered their Brazilian and Argentine bean production estimates this week, pegging them at 78.9 mmt and 53 mmt, respectively. Remember the USDA has Brazil at 81 mmt and Argentina at 55 mmt. We needed South America to have a near-perfect production year and a smooth transition from U.S. to South America shipping, and so far we haven’t seen it. It could be more of a

NYSTROM, from pg. 26A southern Brazil. The Argentine ag ministry is pegging corn planting at 63 percent complete compared to 73 percent last year.We should soon start to see estimates of how many acres may be switched from corn to beans. Ideally, they like to have corn planting nearly done by the middle of December. Their harvest will likely trend more toward May versus the March-toApril time slot. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 28 million metric tons production estimate seems to be too optimistic. China announced this week their corn crop at 208.12 mmt when the USDA has them at 200 mmt. This would be the ninth consecutive record crop.

turing. Manufacturers in each region expected all farm milk intakes would find processing.

The Oceania milk production season is past its peak, declining slightly, but holding at seasonally high levels, according to the USDA. The buildup to peak levels was typical for the region and occurred slightly earlier than in past years. The next question is: how long will stability at high levels prevail and what will the pace of decline on the downside be?

Milk production is currently running heavier than last year. Producers and handlers are hopeful the trend will continue. New Zealand output is reported to be running 4 to 5 percent ahead of a year ago while Australia is up 2 to 3 percent.

The U.S. Dairy Export Council’s November market outlook says Oceania’s “supply excesses that characterized much of 2012 have faded,” and “production has gone negative in the Northern hemisphere. As a result, we view the market as under-supplied and anticipate stronger prices in the short/medium term into 2013.”

U.S. exports slipped in September (versus prior months), but remain ahead of last year’s record pace, according to the USDEC. “The price gap between U.S. and Oceania prices has narrowed in recent weeks, which should help U.S. performance heading into the close of the year.”

■ The USDA’s latest Livestock Slaughter report shows an estimated 285,400 culled dairy cows were slaughtered under federal inspection in October, up 34,600 from September and 42,600 more than October 2011.

MIELKE, from pg. 29A Through January-to-October dairy cow slaughter totaled 2.574 million head, up 174,600 from 2011.

The Daily Dairy Report says more cows went to slaughter in October than in any month in the past decade and pointed out that it occurred in a month of rising milk prices, and “brings into question USDA’s recent estimate of a mere 9,000-head decline in the dairy herd in October.”

Dairy culling has been particularly strong in western states, the DDR said, where margins have been extremely tight.

■ Higher feed prices pushed U.S. average milk production costs to another record high in October, according to the USDA’s monthly Milk Cost of Production Estimates and reported in this week’s Dairy Profit Weekly. The estimates are based on total farm costs per hundredweight of milk sold.

The preliminary average total cost was $29.13 per hundredweight, up 66 cents from September, and $4.99/cwt. more than October 2011. The January-toOctober 2012 average is $25.54/cwt., up $2.56 from the same period in 2011.

Purchased ($10.17/cwt.) and homegrown ($6.88/cwt.) feed costs were up 47 cents and 21 cents, respectively, from September, and up $4.10 and 68 cents, respectively, from October 2011. Feed represented about 59 percent of total costs. At $14.22/cwt., 2012 year-to-date average feed costs are up $2.30/cwt. from 2011.

Other than feed costs, other operating costs and allocated overhead costs were largely unchanged from September 2012, with slight increases from October 2011, according to the DPW. The DDR points out that, “regionally, large dairy operations in the Southwest and West rely more on purchased feed than their counterparts in the Midwest and Northeast. As a result, producers in the West have been culling their herds more aggressively and/or feeding a lower-cost ration.”

The net impact was lower milk production in October versus the prior year in several states: New Mexico, down 5.9 percent; Texas, off 5 percent; Arizona, down 4.5 percent; and California, off 3.5 percent.

Production in states where producers raise a majority of their feed was higher: Wisconsin, up 4.7 percent; Minnesota, up 2.9 percent; Michigan, up 2.7 percent; and New York, up 2.7 percent.

■ Speaking of California, San Bernardino County Superior Court Judge Joseph Brisco denied a petition filed against the California Department of Food and Agriculture alleging the agency failed to follow the law in refusing to bring California’s Class 4b price into better alignment with the prices being paid by cheese manufacturers in federal orders, according to the Western United Dairymen.

■ In dairy politics, National Milk Producers Federation’s Chris Galen talked about the “fiscal cliff” that the country faces in Thursday’s DairyLine broadcast but added that dairy also has a fiscal cliff in the expiration of the price support program at current support levels.

The program reverts to 1949 levels, he said, meaning “much higher support levels which could be very disruptive to the marketplace if the government started buying dairy products at about double the current market level.” He said he hoped this pressure would cause Congress to act and pass a new farm bill.

■ Meanwhile, the International Dairy Foods Association reported this week on a new nationwide survey which found that 81 percent of Americans agree that individual farmers should have the freedom to decide how much milk they produce and not have a limit set by government policy.

The survey, which was conducted online last month among 2,094 adults by Harris Interactive on behalf of the IDFA, also found that 74 percent of Americans believe milk prices should be based on what consumers are willing to pay. Only 9 percent think milk prices should be set by government policy.

House will take up the farm bill during the so-called “lame-duck” session before the end of 2012. Once the House passes a farm bill, it will then need to go back to a U.S. Senate-House conference committee to work out differences in the two bills before a farm bill would be ready for a final vote by both the Senate and the House. If approved by both bodies of Congress, the new farm bill would then require President Obama’s signature, before it becomes law.

Another alternative may be a one-year extension of the current farm bill for 2013 to allow continuation of various USDA programs governed by the farm bill legislation. This would also maintain funding of programs that may be discontinued without a new farm bill, or an extension of the current farm bill. This would allow time for Congress to work out differences between the U.S. Senate and U.S. House versions of the farm bill. It would also allow U.S. Department of Agriculture time to implement the various provisions in the new farm bill, as both the Senate and House versions of the legislation contain considerable changes from the current farm bill.

Failure by Congress to enact a new farm bill or to extend the current farm bill by Jan. 1 could result in the 1949 farm act, or so-called “permanent farm law” to be enacted. This would put in price supports for crops and dairy that are based on “parity pricing,” and are well above today’s price levels. It would also eliminate many USDA programs that have been enacted since 1949, including conservation programs, crop insurance provisions, rural development programs, along with food and nutrition programs. There is no support in Congress or by the administration to allow farm bill policy or USDA programs to revert back to 1949 levels, so this is not likely to occur.

PROGRAMS, from pg. 32A resolution, while others are discontinued. For example, funding for federal food and nutrition programs, which make up over 75 percent of farm bill spending, are continued under a “continuing resolution,” which will maintain current spending guidelines until a new farm bill is approved. Similarly, annual rental payments for existing Conservation Reserve Program contracts will continue to be made; however, no new CRP contracts may be added. Funding for the popular Farm Service Agency “Farm Storage Facility Loan” program would also be maintained, allowing FSA offices to continue taking FSFL applications for 2013.

Direct payments will not be continued for 2013, unless the current farm bill is extended and funding is authorized for 2013. Payments under the Milk Income Loss Contract program were discontinued after Sept.

30, which is a major issue to dairy producers who are suffering large financial losses due to the 2012 drought. Dairy producers should continue to document qualifying income losses, as it is likely that MILC payments could be made retroactive to Oct. 1, once a final agreement is reached by Congress. Also, there are no provisions for disaster payments under the SURE program or livestock assistance programs for 2012, even though the 2012 drought was one of the worst in U.S. history. There are many other USDA programs for conservation, rural development and export enhancement that will be discontinued without a new farm bill, or an extension of the current farm bill.

Both the version of the new farm bill passed by the U.S. Senate and the version passed by the House ag committee called for some major changes in the risk management (“safety net”) portions of the farm bill.

Both versions of the new farm bill would result in some major savings to the federal budget over the next five years (2013-17), which is why Congress could tie the passing of a new farm bill into a possible legislative compromise on the so-called “fiscal cliff,” which was discussed earlier. The U.S. House farm bill would result in estimated savings of approximately $35 billion over the next five years, while the U.S. Senate farm bill would save about $23 billion over the next five years. The differences in budget savings comes from reductions proposed by the U.S. House ag committee in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which includes the food stamp program. The reductions to the SNAP program are major point of contention on passing a new farm bill.

Key commodity provisions and differences in new farm bill proposals Direct payments will be eliminated in the new farm bill.

Both the Senate and the House version of the new farm bill would eliminate the current direct payments, which have been paid to crop producers each year regardless of crop revenue. It is probably best to budget for the 2013 crop year without including direct payments. If Congress passes an extension to the current farm bill, it is possible that some level of direct payments could remain for 2013; however, Congress could also reduce or eliminate the 2013 direct payments as part of the farm bill extension legislation.

it does not appear that the new farm bill will have any major changes in FCIC programs. Both of the proposed versions of the new farm bill would create a “Supplemental Coverage Option,” which would allow a producer to purchase up to 90 percent crop insurance coverage. The SCO coverage would be optional to individual producers, but may be an attractive alternative.

Initiation of a new “shallow-loss” risk management program for crop producers.

Both versions of the new farm bill would eliminate the current ACRE and SURE programs, which provide income to crop producers based on revenue reductions. The Senate version of the farm bill would create the Ag Risk Coverage program, while the House version of the farm bill would create the Revenue Loss Coverage program. The ARC and RLC programs are similar programs to cover revenue losses for crop producers that exceed certain parameters. Both proposed “shallow loss” programs would focus on crop revenue reductions, compared to target revenues that are based on five-year average crop revenues. The ARC program would cover losses between 79 and 89 percent, while the RLC program would cover losses between 75 and 85 percent. The ARC program allows for a choice of payment determination on a county basis or a farm level basis, while the RLC payments are on a county level. Current ACRE payments are based on a combination statewide and farm level basis, and SURE payments are based on a combination county and farm level basis.

“Price Loss Coverage” option included in the House version of the new farm bill.

The House version of the new farm bill would give producers the option to choose a new “Price Loss Coverage” option for farm programs, as an alternative to the RLC program option discussed earlier. The PLC program would maintain the current target price program, with updated levels of target prices proposed at $3.70 per bushel for corn, $8.40/bu. for soybeans and $5.50/bu. for wheat. Commodity Credit Corp. loan rates would be maintained at the current levels of $1.95/bu. for corn, $5/bu. for soybeans and $2.94/bu. for wheat. If the five-month national average price (Sept. 1 to Jan. 31 for corn and soybeans) is between those price ranges, there would be a PLC payment.

Producers would be allowed to update payment yields (2008-12 average farm yields x 0.90), and payments would be based on planted acres (x 0.85), rather than historical base acres. The PLC program option was not in the Senate version of the farm bill, but is quite popular with Southern farmers who raise a wide range of crops.

Payment limits and SNAP programs are key differences in the Senate and House versions of the new farm bill.

The U.S. Senate version of the new farm bill would set payment limits at $50,000 per entity for the ARC program, while the House version of the legislation would set payment limits at $125,000 per entity for the RLC or PLC programs. This is a difference that will need to be worked out in a final version of the new farm bill. The current farm bill has a payment limit of $40,000 per individual for direct payments, and a $65,000 for potential ACRE and counter-cyclical payments, or a maximum payment limit of $105,000 per individual.

There are some large differences in the Senate and House versions of the farm bill in the food and nutrition programs, both in terms of funding levels and revisions in program administration. Compromising on the proposals for SNAP programs could actually

Tips to prevent holiday stress and depression When stress is at its peak, it’s hard to stop and regroup. Try to prevent stress and depression in the first place, especially if you know the holidays have taken an emotional toll in previous years.

Tips you can try to head off holiday stress and depression: • Acknowledge your feelings. If a loved one has recently died or you aren’t able to be with your loved ones, realize that it’s normal to feel sadness or grief.

It’s OK now and then to take time just to cry or express your feelings. You can’t force yourself to be happy just because it’s the holiday season.

• Seek support. If you feel isolated or down, seek out family members and friends, or community, religious or social services. They can offer support and companionship. Consider volunteering at a community or religious function. Getting involved and helping others can lift your spirits and broaden your friendships. Also, enlist support for organizing holiday gatherings, as well as meal preparation and cleanup. You don’t have to go

it alone. Don’t be a martyr.

• Be realistic. As families change and grow, traditions and rituals often change as well. Hold on to those you can and want to but accept that you may have to let go of others. For example, if your adult children and grandchildren can’t all gather at your house as usual, find new ways to celebrate together from afar, such as sharing pictures, e-mails or videotapes.

• Set differences aside. Try to accept family members and friends as they are, even if they don’t live up to all your expectations. Practice forgiveness. Set aside grievances until a more appropriate time for discussion. With stress and activity levels high, the holidays might not be conducive to making quality time for relationships. Be understanding if others get upset or distressed when something goes awry.

Chances are they’re feeling the effects of holiday stress and depression, too.

• Stick to a budget. Before you go shopping, decide how much money you can afford to spend on gifts and other items. Then be sure to stick to your

Acknowledge your feelings. If a loved one has recently died or you aren’t able to be with your loved ones, realize that it’s normal to feel sadness or grief.

It’s OK now and then to take time just to cry ... budget. If you don’t, you could feel anxious and tense for months afterward as you struggle to pay the bills. Don’t try to buy happiness with an avalanche of gifts. Donate to a charity in someone’s name, give homemade gifts or start a family gift exchange.

• Plan ahead. Set aside specific days for shopping, baking, visiting friends and other activities. Plan your menus and then make one big food-shopping trip. This will help prevent a lastminute scramble to buy forgotten ingredients and you’ll have time to make another pie, if the first one’s a flop. Expect travel delays, especially if you’re flying.

• Learn to say no. Believe it or not, people will understand if you can’t do certain projects or activities. If you say yes only to what you really want to do, you’ll avoid feeling resentful, bitter and overwhelmed. If it’s really not possible to say no when your boss asks you to work overtime, try to remove something else from your agenda to make up for the lost time.

• Don’t abandon healthy habits.

Don’t let the holidays become a dietary free-for-all. Some indulgence is OK,

but overindulgence only adds to your stress and guilt. Have a healthy snack before holiday parties so that you don’t go overboard on sweets, cheese or drinks. Continue to get plenty of sleep and schedule time for physical activity.

• Take a breather. Make some time for yourself. Spending just 15 minutes alone, without distractions, may refresh you enough to handle everything you need to do. Steal away to a quiet place, even if it’s to the bathroom for a few moments of solitude. Take a walk at night and stargaze. Listen to soothing music. Find something that reduces stress by clearing your mind, slowing your breathing and restoring inner calm.

• Rethink resolutions. Resolutions can set you up for failure if they’re unrealistic. Don’t resolve to change your whole life to make up for past excess. Instead, try to return to basic, healthy lifestyle routines. Set smaller, more specific goals with a reasonable time frame. Choose only those resolutions that help you feel valuable and that provide more than only fleeting moments of happiness.

Poinsettias represent holiday season in variety of colors Likely the most popular of all holiday plants is, by a landslide vote, the poinsettia. I would venture to say a close second in popularity would be the amaryllis. Both plants add marvelous color to our homes during the dreary winter and serve as a great gift, if you are still in need of an idea.

Poinsettias range in size from having large, 12inch flowers, to being a small accent plant to top a

bookcase or corner table. Although the typical color of poinsettia is red, there are many color varieties of poinsettia — from cream, to pink or purple, and several variegated and speckled leaf patterns. The flowers of a poinsettia are actually groups of modified colored leaves called bracts that surround clusters of the inconspicuous true flowers.

Poinsettia plant breeding has come a long way, and

today it is not uncommon for poinsettias to keep long into March or April. Keep in mind when transporting poinsettia plants that even a small amount of a cold draft will cause them to drop their flowers. It is also important to keep the bracts from folding in transport. If these fold or break they will exude sap, so it is helpful to cut off the protective plastic bag or covering instead of pulling it off of the plant.

Once a poinsettia has reached its home, keep it in a window that exposes the plant to six or more hours of bright light, keeping it away from drafts both cold and hot. Poinsettias do best with evenly moist soil. Too much water will cause bracts to wither and leaves to yellow and drop. If your poinsettia has a decorative foil or plastic covering its pot, poke some holes in the bottom of the foil and place it on a plate or saucer to catch excess moisture that would have been trapped.

It is not necessary to fertilize poinsettias for the first six weeks after it is brought into the home. After that time, fertilize monthly using a diluted house plant fertilizer mixed at half of the label recommendation.

Abraham and his descendants forever, even as he said to our fathers.”

Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register.

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.”

When the angels had left them and gone into

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”

Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.

But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.”

“How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”

The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God.” “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered.

“May it be to me as you have said.” Then the angel left her.

At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth.

When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!”

And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.

From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me — holy is his name. His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble.

He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to

heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise him, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he had been conceived. When the time of their purification according to the Law of Moses had been completed, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”), and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”

Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you now dismiss your servant in peace. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all people, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel.”

The child’s father and mother marveled at what was said about him. Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: “This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.”

There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, and then was a widow until she was 84. She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.

Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.

When Joseph and Mary had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth. And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

Our Neck of the Woods, Browerville, Minn.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

oug Johnson feels strongly that the old buildD ings in the central business district of small towns should be preserved and used.

He’s also a guy who practices what he preaches.

Not long ago he moved his title business out of the basement of his Browerville, Minn., home and into a 1900-era Main Street hardware store.

“They sold furniture and caskets upstairs and hardware downstairs,” Doug says of the former Conn’s Hardware store. “In the later years they were known for their TVs and appliances.”

Although Browerville still boasts a hardware store, Conn’s went the way of many other small town hardware stores. The building was empty for a while and then struggled to keep a tenant. So when it came up for sale, Johnson and his family jumped at the opportunity. Then the Johnsons,

with help from friends, started Our Neck of The Woods. The store sign announces that the business sells antiques, home decor and primitives. But, in reality, there is more; scarves could be spotted near the long row of glassware.

“I was ready to come out of the basement,” Johnson said. “Now I do my title business from here and run the store.”

Johnson is proud that little had to be done to get the sturdy building ready for its new life. He likes to show off the original maple floor, the old hardware bins built into the wall, the tin ceiling and the hardware department signs.

“We did put some support pillars under the balcony,” Johnson said. “It was designed to hang from the ceiling. We wanted to add some support.”

Like a lot of old retail buildings, Our Neck Of The Woods has huge front windows designed to provide light for their long deep interiors. The result is a lot of light in the front that fades toward the back of the store. The stores decorators, Peggy Carlson and Rhoda Ostendorf, complemented that natural light. Necklaces of small sparking white lights are draped from the balcony railings. They give the store a festive aura.

The balcony view — with the warm colors from the maple flooring, the rows of colored glassware and the garlands of light — is marvelous.

In addition to the main sales floor and balcony, Our Neck Of The Woods has a couple of side rooms full of tables — decorated this time of year for Christmas. ❖

Like most observers, he noted that dairying is a black-ink proposition these days but it could be better. “But it’s not just about money. It’s a business and a family operation that has good strong morals and character.

That’s why I enjoy serving dairy farmers.”

Minnesota dairy farm numbers are just slightly over 4,000, but still slowly declining. With each cow contributing about $10,000 economic value to a local economy, dairy is a tremendous pump primmer for the Minnesota economy. “My mission is to let those outside the dairy industry understand this contribution and value it for what it is,” Lefebvre said. ❖

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Granted, stray voltage stories don’t make big headlines anymore, but don’t think that stray voltage has disappeared.

At the recent Midwest Dairy Expo in St. Cloud, Minn., Jerry Lush of Brookings, S.D., was surprisingly busy at his stray voltage display booth. He operates Stray Voltage Consulting.

Will stray voltage always be an issue?

Any facility that “The only time we has livestock won’t have stray voltdrinking out of age on a farm is when we quit using electricwater fountains ity,” Lush said. can have stray He pointed out that voltage. I’ve as electrical systems seen it with age within a livestock pigs, sheep, facility, stray voltage is even feedlots more likely to happen. housing beef He also said that newer facilities can have their cattle. own problems because of the mandated instal— Jerry Lush lation of what is called an equipotential plane.

This technology was to cure all stray voltage because the grid and rebar system are all tied together even including stanchions and water cups. If there is current in that grid, cows can be affected.

“Any facility that has livestock drinking out of water fountains can have stray voltage. I’ve seen it with pigs, sheep, even feedlots housing beef cattle,” he said. “We perhaps don’t notice it in other livestock simply because we don’t pay as much attention as with our daily contact with dairy cows.”

Besides conversations with dairy producers at the Expo, he also talked with people who work with producers, especially feed and equipment dealer sales reps who often get asked if stray voltage might be an issue when production drops. People selling water fountains often provide leads for Lush in his consulting profession. His single-page question-and-answer handout tells the story in this fashion.

What is stray voltage? Stray voltage is the voltage difference between the electrical neutral/grounding system and earth. Some voltage will always exist and is normal for any electrical system. However, if the voltage is greater than 0.5 volts, problems will develop with livestock coming in contact with it.

What livestock are affected? Any animal that drinks from an electrically heated livestock fountain can be affected by stray voltage. Stray voltage has been found on dairy, beef, swine, sheep and goat operSee VOLTAGE, pg. 17B

after purchasing our farm focused on improving animal comfort and reducing our farm’s environmental footprint,” Glen said. “All of the improvements we’ve made to our farm in the past five years have also stimulated economic activity within our community.” A few of the initial improvements included outfitting the barn with better stalls, ventilation and lighting and a manure storage system. These upgrades allowed Glen and Sadie to then focus on improving forage quality, animal health and milk quality.

Another goal of the Frericks’ is to open the dairy to the public, which they have been able to do recently and plan to do more of going forward. Last fall, they held a training session for energy auditors on the dairy, and this summer the family hosted a troop of Girl Scouts from St. Paul who camped in the yard, toured the farm and learned about dairy farming.

“It is a great honor to be named Producer of the Year. There are so many deserving dairy farms in Minnesota — we are very humbled to be chosen to represent Minnesota’s dairy industry,” Sadie said. “We will continue to look for ways to share our farm and our story with our consumers and our community.”

“Blue Diamond Dairy is a terrific example of the next generation of dairy farmers,” said Bob Lefebvre, MMPA executive director. “The family’s commitment to constantly improving their operations in every way is a trait everyone in the industry can learn from.”

THE LAND, DECEMBER 7, 2012

Blue Diamond Dairy, operated by husband-and-wife team Glen and Sadie Frericks, is being built to be strong into the future. The Melrose, Minn., couple began farming seven years ago and purchased Blue Diamond five years ago.

“Before we were even engaged, I decided that if we ever milked cows, we would be ‘Blue Diamond Dairy’,” Sadie said. The name is a combination of the names of the dairies where Glen and Sadie grew up.

“Blue diamonds are the toughest substance on earth, and they’re also very beautiful,” Sadie said. “After farming, I really appreciate the symbolism and the need for a certain toughness to be sustainable in this industry.”

The Minnesota Milk Producers Association named Blue Diamond Dairy near Melrose Minnesota’s 2012 Producer of the Year at the recent Midwest Dairy Expo in St. Cloud, Minn.

Each year Minnesota Milk recognizes one outstanding dairy operation as the Producer of the Year for having a proven commitment to the dairy industry, managing its farm for future generations, and for being active in their local community.

Today, the Frericks own 75 cows, plus a small flock of laying hens and an assortment of other farm animals.

Blue Diamond Dairy is what they call a “hybrid dairy,” where the herd lives and grazes outside in the warm months and moves inside during the freezing months, eating mixed ration.

The Frericks’ primary goal is to constantly make the farm better for the animals, the environment, their family and their community.

Watch ’em; animals will tell you if there’s stray voltage Some people with stray voltage in the shower will keep a dry washcloth handy so they can turn the faucets on and off without feeling the voltage.

What causes stray voltage? Stray voltage comes from poor grounding, loose neutral connections or high resistance neutral wires cased by size and/or distance. These electrical problems can be on the farm or on the utility system supplying power to the farm. Faulty electrical equipment can also cause stray voltage.

How is stray voltage corrected?

Your animals will let you know if there is a problem, if you watch them. A competent investigator can determine the source, or sources of the stray voltage and necessary corrections. Some corrections can be changing a connection, installing new wire, or balancing circuits. An electrician may be required to correct electrical problems.

New developments: Stray voltage investigations over the last several

years indicate that current flow in the earth or in equipotential planes also cause problems with livestock. We continue to learn more about stray voltage as we work with it.

His fees for on-farm consulting starts with a mileage charge from Brookings, S.D., plus a minimum $200 charge for

that first farm visit which covers up to four hours of hands-on inspection of the facility. After that his fee is $50 per hour.

VOLTAGE, from pg. 14B ations and with horses. With dairy farms poor milk production happens because stray voltage also causes stress, which results in higher somatic cell count and behavioral and health problems.

If livestock don’t drink as much water as they should they won’t eat as much as they should, resulting in lower weight gains and/or less production.

Are people affected? Yes, stray voltage also affects people. We do not usually notice the voltage in a livestock environment because we wear boots and our hands are calloused. We might feel the voltage if we have a cut on our hand or hands are wet. Stray voltage might be noticeable in a basement shower with a concrete floor.

If standing on the wet concrete with a wet body a person may feel the voltage when touching the faucet which is grounded to the electrical system.
