OPINION

Sure, America was saved from the ‘dairy cliff’ but you and I should not have been on any cliff to begin with. We were placed there by politicians playing a can’t-win game of I-win, youlose politics. How this played out for farmers and ranchers is both informative and instructive.

in the coming decade hardly seems like any cut. Another explanation is that the bill’s dairy reforms, also contained in the Senate bill, rankled Boehner. No one knows if this son of greater Cincinnati understands dairy policy — it’d be news if he did — but everyone on Capitol Hill knows that dairy processors hated the changes. Boehner, in turn, took to calling the pending dairy policy “socialism” and “Soviet-style central planning.” Boehner and McConnell’s differences with each bill would hardly be noteworthy if not for the key role each would play in the fiscal cliff talks. Boehner’s hard effort to meet White

House demands stumbled when he went back to his Republican caucus to take their temperature on a nearlycompleted “big deal” the week before Christmas. He got his head handed to him when GOP tea party members held their hard line against any new taxes. Poetically, perhaps, most of those nonew-tax House members were the very same rural and ag committee members who earlier had demanded a vote on a farm bill. Speaker Boehner had denied them because he thought it far-too-rich. Now they denied him. That put the burden of negotiating any fiscal cliff deal on Senate Republican leader McConnell. Recall he had voted openly, almost happily, against the Senate farm bill in June because it lacked cotton and rice price protection. With that same bill as the working model for any fiscal cliff-farm bill-New Year’s deal and McConnell as the chief GOP negotiator, no 2012 farm bill was the likely outcome and, to no one’s surprise, no 2012 farm bill it now is. Why any of this is surprise, however, is, well, a surprise. When the bottom line to any Congressional deal must include a political I-win, you-lose score, you and I will always lose because we’re not politicians. We’re just Americans.

Water scarcity becoming global issue Letter: People

LAND MINDS, from pg. 2 water, may soon become the biggest issue. With rising world populations, water demand is skyrocketing. Already lack of water is becoming a limiting factor in food production in many parts of the world. We became dangerously close across much of our “farm belt” this past year. It could be worse for 2013. Encouraging from Baize was his comment that American farmers will always be a major player because of the continually rising world population. He says agriculture will always be the bedrock industry but leaner times are likely. Last January he was speculating that land prices will fall back. Cash rents will need to be adjusted. And just maybe U.S. agriculture can survive in a free market economy if all nations play by the same rules. However fat chance with China, home of the world’s largest agriculture, pretty

much calling the shots. At a November Agri-Growth conference, Wells Fargo economist Michael Swanson shared a comment by economist John Keynes who said, “the market can stay stupid longer than you can stay solvent.” Swanson cautioned his audience that while one could recognize an opportunity where the market is out of adjustment and bet against it, the market can also do something even more stupid and blow out your investment. He cautioned that when the market eventually corrects itself we won’t be able to predict the cause, and that might be a panic situation for which you should prepare. My closing comment: Be prepared, and a blessed 2013 for you and your family. Dick Hagen is staff writer of The Land. He may be reached at dickhagen@mvtvwireless.com. ❖

To the Editor: “What’s ahead for America?” by Staff Writer Dick Hagen (“Land Minds,” Nov. 30 issue) was an outstanding opinion. It showed the impossible thinking our country is doing. We will need to sharpen our wits if we are to survive our overwhelming government in our lives. We have to quit overspending and overtaxing our people to survive and flourish. Middle-income people will be paying a lot if we don’t wake up on taxes and spending. Soaking the rich only happens once and is not the answer. It is only class envy being promoted. It is also destructive to destory socalled rich, as you don’t get a job from a poor person. Dolores McClernon Tintah, Minn.

Engineer: Farmers seeking environmental services

The National Buffalo Foundation is excited to announce the launch of its new website and a fund drive for an upcoming research project. Both projects are the result of a November 2011 survey to bison producers and supporters focusing on education and research. The www.nationalbuffalofoundation.org website went live Dec. 3, and features basic information about the foundation as well as listing ways to give to the Foundation. The site also includes overviews of Foundation-supported projects and partner testimonials. A special section is dedicated to a fundraising campaign to support a TB testing research study also just launched by the Foundation.

The National Buffalo Foundation is proud to support efforts to conduct a one-time through TB testing and is excited to take the lead role in funding this research project. Our November 2011 survey to National Bison Association members promised to utilize the information gathered to guide the National Buffalo Foundation in funding future projects. This is a direct result of that promise. One-time through TB ranked in the top five research project suggestions. For more information about either the website or TB testing projects, contact NBF President Gail Griffin at (507) 452-8951 or buffalo@hbci.com. ❖

manure facilities for hogs and cattle, soil erosion issues plus a bucketful of “little fixes” where the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has identified a pollution problem is the daily agenda. “My approach is to look for commonsense solutions that will protect the environment without infringing on the strategic operation of that particular client,” Skonard said. As slat-floored confinement structures become more commonplace, livestock producers often ask about animal safety and comfort. “Livestock people know that concrete can chew up hooves, sometimes causing lameness, even downers. And that is why we’re seeing rubber mats being used more and more on concrete slats. It’s a matter of comfort,” he said. Lagoons are sometimes still part of the engineering process. “And that’s simply because a lagoon is often the most cost-effective way of handling livestock manure. But each site is unique,” Skonard said, “and sometimes county regulations don’t permit lagoons.” Bollig Inc. starts with a site evaluation to get a handle on what type of services will be needed. Then preliminary cost estimates would likely be done on a “lump-sum” basis that identi-

fies individual key components. Hourly charges, however, are more common if there are weather conditions or contractor issues that can’t be controlled by Bollig Inc. Is the strong economy of agriculture creating more interest in engineering services? “Yes, we see farmers more frequently asking if and how they can better manage the environment of their particular farming operation. A common question is what will it take to get them into compliance and what will it cost. Yes, I see a definite concern from farmers about how they can become better stewards of the land,” Skonard said. This means constant study and understanding by engineering firms of rules and regulations as they pertain to livestock and crop production. He said he’s on the telephone weekly to various feedlot engineers in various counties. “I explain what I think needs to happen on this particular farm. I ask, ‘What are you saying?’ Sometimes compromise is the solution. They’ve been real good working with us on these issues,” Skonard said. ❖

He tells me how he wants to manage it and I will engineer around that.” That candid response was from Cris Skonard, PhD., P.E., and senior engineer with Bollig Inc., an engineering and environmental firm at Willmar, Minn., when asked how his firm works with farmers.

Livestock feed costs drive interest in additives By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer There’s nothing like higher feed costs to drive interest in new additives that potentially increase feed efficiency in your livestock. Ben Holland, technical services specialist with Merck Animal Health, said, “the higher costs of commodity feedstuffs have definitely created an incentive amongst cattle feeders to become more efficient, both economically and environmentally in usage of their resources.” A good example is Merck’s Zilmax, a beta agonist agent that acts directly on the muscle cell causing it to increase in size. “Zilmax binds to each muscle cell with the net result of more carcass weight in the finished animal without requiring any additional feed, water or other resources,” Holland said. He said that in all muscles there is an ongoing buildup and breakdown of muscle tissue; it’s a constant cycle in all livestock — humans, too. The addition of Zilmax in the finishing ration alters and slows that process so the ratio of what’s being deposited is greater than what’s being broken down. “And the net result is an increase in muscle mass,” Holland said. Additives obviously have a cost-effectiveness consideration. A plus for Zilmax is that it produces results with only a 20-day usage in the finishing ration. However the product has Food and Drug Administration clearance for usage the last 20 to 40 days, with a three-day withdrawal prior to marketing. Marketed as a feed additive, the label indicates 6.8 grams per ton of ration in a Total Mixed Daily

Ration program. The product’s cost is adjusted monthly based on live carcass price values. “This gives a continual return to the feeder at a 2-to-1 ratio. If cattle prices go up, the cost of Zilmax goes up and vice versa with declining cattle prices,” Holland said. Based on current cattle prices, the product costs a feeder $26 to $28 per head for a 20-day feeding period. More than 50,000 head of cattle have been studied with Zilmax in more than 20 different locations to verify performance data, both from a biological standpoint and a performance standpoint. When “altering” muscle structure of a beef critter, are you altering taste and flavor? Not so, Holland said, noting consumer taste panels involving more than 3,000 people with no taste difference from beef finished with the Zilmax additive, versus no Zilmax.

The product has been in the U.S. market since 2007; globally since the late-1990s. Holland said the product continues to enjoy a growing market. He estimated over 6 million head of U.S. beef will be marketing with Zilmax in the finishing ration this year. Tom Revier, of Revier Cattle Co. near Olivia, Minn., pays extreme attention to feeding costs. The firm markets over 15,000 head of cattle yearly from both confinement (on slats) and open feedlots. “(Zilmax is) a fabulous product,” he said. “Our only issue is that it slightly lowers the grade of the finished carcass. But the big plus is that it adds size to the highest valued portions of the carcass, the loins and the rib section. ... And for an industry that might soon be short of beef for the consumer market, this added tonnage might take on significant impact.” Holland was interviewed at a Dec. 13 Minnesota Cattle Feeders Day event at Tracy, Minn. ❖

Pearson named Wheat Growers’ senior VP, operations Wheat Growers announced that Chris Pearson has accepted the position of senior vice president of operations. He will join Wheat Growers’ staff Jan. 14. He was most recently the chief operations officer with Farmer’s Cooperative, a $1.2 billion cooperative headquartered in Ames, Iowa. “Chris brings a wealth of executive, cooperative and operations experience to our organization,” Dale Locken, Wheat Growers CEO, said. “He will be responsible for the strategic alignment of the operations, safety, maintenance and construction functions of Wheat Growers. His strategic vision, people skills

and business intelligence strategies are tremendous assets for our company.” “I’m excited to join this progressive cooperative that continues to demonstrate its leadership in the industry and depth of commitment to member-owners,” Pearson said. “I look forward to working with Wheat Growers’ leadership team, board of directors and delegates to contribute to the continued success and growth of one of the most dynamic ag cooperatives in this country.” Pearson is a graduate of Iowa State University, with a B.S. in ag studies.

Cover story: WWII plane museum is Fagen’s pride By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Ron Fagen is a Granite Falls, Minn., entrepreneur whose name became an industrial legend during the construction boom days of the U.S. ethanol industry. During that exploding era — late-1990s until the mid-2000s — his firm was building about 80 percent of all the new ethanol plants being constructed in the United States, more than 100 in all. Fagen Construction is still going strong in the energy world, including erecting towers for wind farms across the north central states, building a full-scale cellulosic (corn stover) ethanol plant in Iowa, and expanding globally with European projects. Ron Fagen has completed an entirely different and personal project to show off these days — a new World War II Fighter Plane Museum which officially opened Sept. 29 at the Granite Falls airport. This structure has already captured the fancy of aviation enthusiasts across America. Built as a tribute to his late father, Raymond, who participated in the June 6, 1944, D-Day Utah Beach invasion of Europe, this museum is 90 feet wide, 200 feet long and 28 feet tall. Steel framed and steel rafter construction, this tremendously spatial interior is now a world-class showcase of pristine World War II fighter and trainer air planes. The WWII-era planes on display inside this museum include a P-51 Mustang monogrammed as “Sweet Revenge,” a Lockheed P-38 Lightning “Ruff Stuff,” a P-40 Flying Tiger labeled “Desert Shark” and a BT-13 trainer. This same hangar also houses General Omar Bradley’s D-Day Willy

Messages That Resonate With Consumers 9-10 a.m. Presenter: Jarrod Sutton, National Pork Board assistant vice president, Foodservice, Retail and Channel Marketing. Sponsor: John Morrell What we say and what the consumer hears can often be two very different things. We use terms such as pork producer and pork industry to help con-

sumers understand modern food production practices, but what do these positive sounding phrases mean to consumers? National Pork Board staff member Jarrod Sutton will discuss research showing that, for consumers, these words communicate negative images of animal agriculture. This seminar will provide alternative messages that inspire positive perceptions of pig farmers. Operation Main Street Refresher Course

Wagstrom will offer some insight into the future of antibiotic use in pork production and how possible future decisions may affect your animal care practices. Swine Production Benchmarks 12:30-1:30 p.m. Presenter: Mike Brumm, Brumm Swine Consultancy, North Mankato, Minn. Benchmarking is commonly spoken of but rarely implemented in pork production.

Individuals become so focused and entrenched in their operation they fail to see other ways to improve productivity and profitability. Brumm will provide swine production benchmark information and tips for applying this information on your farm. ❖

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent Since 1905, Janesville, a small Waseca County, Minn., town with big heart, has been keeping the community spirit alive with its annual Hay Daze celebration, complete with parade, pageant, beer tent and Sunday morning worship service (also in the beer tent, perhaps to remind sinners of recent misdeeds). Keeping this thing going year after year is no easy task, and it doesn’t pay for itself, either. So organizers are hoping to get some extra revenue from the sale of a community cookbook, “What’s Cooking in Janesville,” full of recipes that Janesvillers love, and so will you. The cookbook is beautifully bound and features both up-to-the-minute recipes as well as old family favorites. It was produced by the Chamber of Commerce and is available at local merchants. Here are a few sample recipes. ■ For a quick dinner that tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen, try Pepper Jack Chicken Pasta.

Break out of your routine and serve these the next time you’re craving buttery hotcakes. Pumpkin Pancakes Submitted by Ken and Lisa Schnoor 2 cups all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons brown sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon ground allspice 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 cups milk 1 cup pumpkin or squash 1 egg 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 tablespoon vinegar Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon, ginger and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, pumpkin, egg, oil and vinegar. Stir dry ingredients into pumpkin mixture just enough to combine. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or fry pan over medium heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using about 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve with warm maple syrup.

New year’s challenge: True humility, silent service community. That’s OK. Pastor and author Rick Warren puts it in perspecWhen we volunteer or make a donation is it out of tive when he says, “Being true care and concern for the ones we’re serving or important isn’t important. are we hoping for some recognition and approval Be loving.” from others? Do we purchase what we purchase Loving, humble acts of because we need it or because we’re hoping to service matter. This world, impress people? this year, will be a better place when we care less about being another soul about the amount of time they spend recognized and more about recognizing how many each day on their knees. people need us to reach out to them in love. These people will probably never be named Time’s Lenae Bulthuis is a wife, mom and friend who Person of the Year, or make national headlines, or muses from her back porch on a Minnesota grain receive awards or accolades from the international and livestock farm. ❖

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

The mailboxes in our church narthex are an easy and convenient way to receive church news and for people to bless one another with cards. It’s an especially popular, postagefree option at Christmas. On a mild Friday afternoon in December as I was inserting Christmas cards in the mailboxes I worked alongside three THE BACK PORCH others who were doing the By Lenae Bulthuis same. “I wonder what you have to do to get a plate of treats?” I said, noticing that a number of people had small plates of yummy Christmas goodies in their boxes. “You don’t want to be on that list,” said one of the men standing there. His wife nodded in agreement. “Those are for the elderly widows and widowers.” I don’t know the demographics of your congregation, but for us that’s a lot of plates. “Wow!” I said, thinking through how much time that must’ve taken. I assumed the youth group or a women’s Bible study made them. When I asked if they knew the gift givers, the gentleman pointed to his wife and gave the order not to tell anyone. They wanted their gift to remain anonymous. I found their act doubly inspiring — the labor of love in making the goodies and the motive of the heart in keeping themselves nameless. Their obscurity flies in the face of a culture that thrives in self-importance. We track how many friends we have on Facebook, followers on Twitter, how many people send us birthday cards, or recognize us and our achievements within our community. Deep within our souls, whether we verbalize it or not, we want to be known for something. We want to make a mark on this world. Within his book, “Embracing Obscurity — Becoming nothing in light of God’s everything,” the author Anonymous (how’s that for walking the talk?), writes, “we’re intoxicated with a desire to be known, recognized, appreciated and respected. We crave to be a ‘somebody’ and do notable things, to achieve our dreams and gain the admiration of others. To be something — anything — other than nothing.” It’s a book that teaches true humility and challenges readers to evaluate their motives for doing what they do. When we volunteer or make a donation is it out of true care and concern for the ones we’re serving or are we hoping for some recognition and approval from others? Do we purchase what we purchase because we need it or because we’re hoping to impress people? It’s a convicting read. It’s what made the anonymous gifts of goodies especially sweet. I thought of all the nameless faces across our landscape who care for children, who scoop snow in subzero weather for the elderly, who volunteer behind the scenes at schools and churches, who give generously without recognition, who put the needs of others before themselves, who spend hours in prayer for people without ever telling

Grain Outlook Market drifting, uninspired The following market analysis is for the week ending Jan. 4. CORN — Corn continued to suffer from liquidation trading and a lack of demand as we stepped into 2013. Without something to inspire buyers to re-enter the market, the market may drift into the Jan. 11 U.S. Department of Agriculture report stuck in its recent trading range. Open interest increased during the price decline, indicating fresh short positions being established. Fundamentally, the balance sheet is tight and may get tighter when updated tables are released by the USDA on Jan. 11. Production may be lowered PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. slightly more than exports are cut St. Paul to reinforce a situation that there likely is more rationing to be done before the 2013 harvest. The Buenos Aires Cereals Exchange lowered their corn production estimate to 26 million metric tons to 27 mmt as opposed to the current USDA 27.5 mmt forecast. Corn planting there is 82 percent complete, just 2 percent behind last year. Informa Economics updated their crop estimates as the Jan. 11 final USDA production report approaches. They pegged the 2012 corn crop at 10.8 billion bushels, 75 million bushels higher than the USDA’s last estimate of 10.725 billion bushels. Informa cut harvested acres to 87.6 million, down 150,000 from the USDA, while increasing the yield to 123.3 bushels per acre, up 1 bushel from USDA. Informa Economics did not release updated balance sheets at this time. The news pushed March corn to fill the gap at $6.83 1/2 left from July. This week’s low was $6.79 1/2 per bushel. March corn closed out the week at $6.80 1/4, down 13 3/4 and the December was 28 cents lower at $5.71 3/4 per bushel. See NYSTROM, pg. 23

Livestock Angles Grain Angles Cattle end 2012 Demand-driven near record highs markets stronger At the end of 2012, cattle prices were near their alltime highs, while hog prices were in the mid-range of their entire year’s range. As we move into the new year, the prognosticators will be guessing at how cattle and hog prices will be through the entire upcoming year based upon what happened last year. The problem being that some new factors will effect the markets over the next 12 months, which will be mainly economic factors that will have a direct bearing on demand for meat products. The cattle market has been in a long-term upward trend for most of the year. This trend has been fueled by the supply of cattle which JOE TEALE has been on a downward trend for Broker years. At the same time the domes- Great Plains Commodity tic demand for beef has also been Afton, Minn. on a downward trend, although at a slower decline than the supply of cattle. Export business has improved over the past year which appears to be the underlying strength to the market rather than the softening domestic demand. Cattle numbers are expected to remain smaller through the year, which should keep the supply bulls satisfied. From the demand standpoint, with advent of a series of new taxes on the American public, disposable income will undoubtedly shrink the demand for beef, when compared to the less expensive meats and meat alternatives. Overall, it would appear that the cattle market will continue to remain at price levels that are in the upper half of the price over the past several years. Producers should continue to monitor the market and protect inventories as events warrant. The hog market, in difference to the cattle market, has had no supply problems as numbers of hogs has remained at fairly stable levels. In fact the latest U.S.

As we look toward the 2013 crop year, we see that many questions remain unanswered. We have talked about the need for an above-average crop coming out of the southern hemisphere. We have talked about the fears of a back-to-back drought and how that could affect prices. We keep focusing on the supply side of the equation, but we must remember that the heart and core of this market has been the Renewable Fuels Standard passed in 2005. This political action created a demand-driven market. As we know, demand-driven markets are much stronger and last longer than supply-driven markets. As we have watched the TOM NEHER political powers grinding away in AgStar VP & Team Leader gridlock on the “fiscal cliff” debate, — Grain Industry Rochester, Minn. the larger markets have traded lower while deleveraging their risk in the markets. This is another example of how the political climate can impact prices. The political action that created the RFS could be changed with the stroke of a pen. The political element is just one thing that could impact demand for corn. The greatest impact could be if we were to have a production problem in 2013 and prices take run to the upside. This could crack the demand bubble, with greater long-term damage to grain demand than the political risk could inflict. When true demand from livestock feeders and our export customers is damaged, it takes longer to recover than many producers with high land costs may endure. If we look at the long-term global demand projection for 2012-13 corn, we see the first decrease in 19 years. This decrease of 15.25 million metric tons includes a projected drop in U.S. demand of 24.57 mmt. When we compare this to an increase in

They say we avoided the cliff, but did we really? OUTLOOK: The gap in March corn was filled and yet March corn continued to struggle for traction. The December contract is feeling pressure from increased attention now that we’re into 2013 and forecasts for planted acreage and new crop prices are beginning to surface. March corn has traded the limit in each of the last six years on the day of the January report, settling at the limit except in 2011. In 2007 and 2008 it settled up the 20-cent limit; in 2009 and 2010 it closed down the 30cent limit; in 2011 in closed up 24 cents after trading limit higher; in 2012 it closed down the 40-cent limit. For December, corn was down 6.7 percent and for the year it was up 8 percent. SOYBEANS — Yeah, they say we avoided the fiscal cliff, but did we really? Spending cuts haven’t been discussed, but will need to be in the next two months. Beans opened sharply higher when the opening bell rang to

TEALE, from pg. 22 Department of Agriculture Quarterly Hogs and Pigs Report released on Dec. 28, indicated that the hog inventory was equal with the previous year. The results were as follows: All hogs and pigs as of Dec. 1, 100 percent; Kept for breeding, 100 percent; and Kept for marketing, 100 percent. This report was seen as slightly negative as pre-report estimates suggested that the overall inventory would be on the decline. The outlook for hog prices would suggest that the price range of 2012 will be close to

the price range for 2013. The interesting point is that demand for pork products has been on the increase throughout the year, both export and domestic. This increase in interest appears to be the result of the price for pork products being a better value than its competitive meat sources. Should this trend continue, this would be supportive to prices in the long term. Producers are urged to keep abreast of market conditions and protect inventories when opportunities arise. I would like to wish everyone a very happy and prosperous new year. ❖

NEHER, from pg. 22 demand from foreign countries of 9.31 mmt, we have to conclude that the threat to the demand market in corn comes from the United States and not from the developing countries. In the United States the projected feed demand is down to 4.15 billion bushels, the lowest since 1988-89, while export demand of 1.15 billion bushels is the lowest since 1974-75. Could it be that our global competitors are waiting to fill any disruption in the U.S. supply chain? We see the early projections for the 2013 corn acres planted increasing to nearly 98 million acres, up from 96.9 million acres planted in 2012. If we use a below trend line yield of 150 bushels per acre and assume that 91.5 percent of the planted acres is harvested it

would produce a 13.4 billion bushel corn crop. This would be a new record crop for the United States. As I said at the beginning of this column, there are many questions still unanswered. The markets will keep a close eye on production in South America and the growing conditions in the United States will be monitored on a regular basis. There will be many days of volatility yet ahead of us to leverage. With the markets trading lower to sideways at best, we must wonder what is being priced into the market. Could it be the impact of crumbling demand? I have met few bears in this market lately and it is starting to remind me of some advice that my Grandpa shared with me many years ago: “Beware when everyone runs to the same side of the boat.” ❖

Informa Economics’ latest update included raising 2012 production by 65 million bushels over the USDA’s last projection to 3.04 billion bushels. This was accomplished by increasing yield from the USDA’s 39.3 bu./acre to 40.1 bu./acre. How this will pan out on the Informa Economics’ balance sheet ending stocks will be interesting. Exports and possibly crush should show an increase to at least partially offset the additional production. Weekly export sales for beans were above expectations at 16 million bushels of old crop and 2.3 million for new crop. This keeps old crop sales 28 percent ahead of last year. Weekly sales would only need to average 8.2 million bushels per week to hit the current USDA forecast. Some traders are anticipating that weekly soybean sales will sharply decline once South American supplies start to flow, but not everyone is on board with that assumption. OUTLOOK: After retreating in the holiday-shortened trading week, March soybeans crumbled in post-Informa release trading, March soybeans matched the post-harvest low from November at $13.56 per bushel before regaining its footing. Pre-January report trading, position liquidation, and stable South American weather were the obvious culprits for the decline.

Pork demand up through 2012

start 2013, only to quickly fall off their own cliff and trade to six-week lows. What about that pesky debt ceiling issue? As part of the Washington announcement, the farm bill was extended for another year. The $1 tax credit for biodiesel was reinstated retroactively for 2012. This should supply support for the oil market. Another round of Chinese soybean cancelations punctuated the week when the USDA announced a 315,000 mt cancellation. Additionally, the USDA announced a sale of 140,000 mt of beans to unknown. Popular theory suggests the Chinese cancellations are being replaced with cheaper Brazilian soybeans. Index rebalancing was also thought to be behind a portion of this week’s setback. According to estimates, funds need to sell 35,000 bean contracts, buy 55,000 meal contracts and sell 12,000 oil contracts. Brazil’s soybean planting was pegged at 85 percent complete, on pace with last year. Rain is in the forecast for the dry northern regions of Brazil, but in general crops are in good shape. The U.S. attaché in Brazil raised their estimate from 82 mmt to 83 mmt and compared to the current USDA 81 mmt forecast. Others cautioned against jumping on the high end of estimates since the crop is nowhere near in the bin and there have been pockets of dryness. Brazil is poised to overtake the United States as the largest exporter of soybeans in the world with 39 mmt of exports, leaving the United States in second place with 36.6 mmt.

NYSTROM, from pg. 22 Next week’s final 2012-13 balance sheets will also be accompanied by the Dec. 1 grain stocks report. The corn stocks number is expected to imply feeding levels below last year and possibly at a multi-year low. In three out of the last four years pre-report estimates of Dec. 1 grain stocks were less than the actual figure by 225 million to 275 million bushels. Weekly export sales were a disappointment once again at only 1.9 million bushels. We need to average 20.6 million bushels per week in sales to have any chance to achieve the USDA forecast and we’ve only had one week so far in this marketing year that we’ve done that. Weekly ethanol production was down 27,000 barrels to 807,000 barrels per day. For the year, the annualized average production equivalent is 4.538 billion bushels of corn. Ethanol stocks fell slightly to 20.2 million barrels.

Start planning crop insurance now for the new year It is not too early to start planning crop insurance strategies for the 2013 crop year, even though the crop insurance enrollment deadline for corn, soybeans and spring wheat in the Upper Midwest is not until March 15. The coming crop year will likely feature a high level of grain price volatility, FARM PROGRAMS along with considerable By Kent Thiesse drought risk in many areas of the Upper Midwest. The Trend-Adjusted Actual Production History — TA-APH for short — yield endorsement for corn and soybeans was introduced for the 2012 crop year in several states, and will be continued for 2013, with wheat being added in selected areas of the region. Crop insurance premiums were adjusted downward for many Upper Midwest crop producers in 2012, and will again be adjusted downward for the 2013 crop year. The combination of the TA-APH yield endorsement, along with lower premium rates, allows producers the opportunity to enhance their insurance coverage for 2013, with only minimal extra premium investment. Producers should contact their crop insurance agent early to find out all the crop insurance options that are available for 2013 before finalizing their risk management strategies. Trend-adjusted APH yield endorsement For the 2013 crop year, producers purchasing federal crop insurance for corn and soybeans will again have the option to use the TA-APH yield endorsement on their crop insurance policies, rather than the standard Actual Production History. The TAAPH option was initiated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Risk Management Agency for corn and soybeans in 2012, and will be available in 2013 on a county basis in parts of numerous states, including large portions of Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, North Dakota and South Dakota, and encompassing most major corn and soybean producing counties in the

New for 2013: Wheat producers in most of west central and northwest Minnesota, northeast South Dakota and most of North Dakota will also be eligible for the TA-APH endorsement for wheat. The TAAPH will likely be quite attractive to many Midwest corn and soybean producers, as well as wheat producers in those selected areas. The decision regarding the TA-APH endorsement must be made by the 2013 crop insurance enrollment deadline, which is March 15, for corn, soybeans and spring wheat in the Upper Midwest. The APH yields have been used for many years to determine crop insurance guarantees for both Yield Protection and Revenue Protection policies. The APH yield is determined by a minimum of four years, and up to a maximum of 10 years, of actual yield history

If there are less than four years of APH yields, then pre-set T-yields are used until there is a four-year history. For many years, corn, soybean and wheat producers in high production areas have felt that the 10year average APH yields used for crop insurance guarantees were not reflective of current yield potential that exists due to enhanced seed genetics and improved production practices. Producers also felt that there was sometimes a “yield penalty” on farm units with a longer yield history, due to the more recent yield increases.

Drought-hit 2012 yields will affect 2013 calculations • To be eligible for the TA-APH yield endorsement for corn, soybeans or wheat in 2013, the farm unit must be in a county that is eligible for the TA-APH endorsement. • The decision to utilize the TA-APH yield endorsement is crop specific, and is on a county basis. So, a producer could choose to use TA-APH for corn and not for soybeans, or they could use TAAPH in one county, but not in another county. • The TA-APH yield endorsement is a continuous insurance policy, and will continue in effect unless the producer chooses to drop the endorsement, or unless RMA ends the TA-APH endorsement. If a producer switches crop insurance companies, they will need to re-select the TA-APH endorsement to have it continue. • A producer must have at least one actual reported yield for a crop from a farm unit in the past four years for that crop and farm unit to be eligible for the TA-APH endorsement, which must be an actual yield, and not a T-yield that was used. • There must be a minimum of four reported annual yields in past 12 years for a crop insurance farm unit to be eligible for the full TA-APH yield adjustment; otherwise the yield adjustment factors will be reduced as follows: See PROGRAMS, pg. 26

adjustment factor. For example, if the highest reported corn yield on a farm unit was 190 bu./acre, and the yield adjustment factor was 2.5 bu./acre, the “cap” yield for any year, after adjustments, would be 192.5 bu./acre. In the TA-APH example for corn in Table 1, the highest yield was 194 bu./acre in 2011, so the “cap” yield is 196.5 bu./acre. Based on the TA-APH formula, the yield adjustment for 2011 would be 5.0 bu./acre; however, since that would exceed the “cap” yield, an adjustment of 2.5 bu./acre was used to arrive at a final maximum yield of 196.5 bu./acre. This situation will likely affect 2013 TA-APH calculations for many corn and soybean producers in parts of the Upper Midwest, due to 2012 yields being lower than 2010 and 2011 yields, as a result of the 2012 drought. Other details on the TA-APH yield endorsement • The TA-APH yield endorsement is available for both Yield Protection and Revenue Protection policies for corn and soybeans in 2013 at all coverage levels, except the catastrophic level of 50 percent. Group crop insurance policies, such as GRIP or GRP, also utilize TA-APH yields for policy guarantees. • The decision on whether to use the TA-APH yield endorsement for the coming year must be made by the crop insurance sales closing date, which is March 15 for corn, soybeans and spring wheat in most Upper Midwest states.

PROGRAMS, from pg. 24 these issues on selected corn, soybean, and wheat crop insurance policies. TA-APH yield adjustments The TA-APH yield adjustment factors are made on a county basis, based on historical annual increases in county-average corn, soybean and wheat yields, as calculated by the National Agricultural Statistics Service. Most counties in south central and southwestern Minnesota had a TA-APH yield adjustment factor of 2.2 to 2.5 bushels per acre for corn, and 0.35 to 0.50 bushels per acre for soybeans in 2012. Producers should check with their crop insurance agent for the TA-APH yield adjustment factors for 2013 in their county. A producer’s actual APH yields (four to 10 years) are then used with the county TAAPH adjustment factors to arrive at a final TA-APH yield. The TA-APH yield adjustment factor is added for each year of production history, up to a maximum of 10 years. For example, if the yield adjustment factor for corn is 2.5 bushels per acre, then 2.5 bu./acre is added for the most recent year (2012), 5.0 bu./acre is added for the preceding year (2011), and 7.5 bu./acre for the year before that (2010), etc. The maximum yield adjustment for year 10 (2003) would be 25 bu./acre (2.5 bu./acre x 10 years). See Table 1 for a TA-APH example for corn, and Table 2 for a TA-APH example for soybeans. The TA-APH yield does have a yearly maximum or “cap” for any given year during the four to 10 years that are used to calculate the final TA-APH. The yield “cap” for any year is the highest reported yearly yield during the four to 10 years plus the yield

Impacts of selecting the TA-AYP endorsement For producers with four or more years of actual production history for corn and soybeans on a farm unit, which has shown increasing yields over that period, there should be a noticeable yield increase with the TA-APH yield endorsement. The yield improvement will vary depending on the actual yield history on the farm unit, the number of years of production history, and the county yield adjustment factor. Based on the TA-APH example for corn shown in Table 1, there was a yield improvement of 13.5 bu./acre, from 173.5 bu./acre with the standard APH

to 187.0 bu./acre with TA-APH. The TA-APH example for soybeans in Table 2 showed an increase of 2.2 bu./acre, from an APH yield of 46.0 bu./acre to 48.2 bushels per acre with TA-APH. Insurance Coverage Example from Table 1 for an 80 percent RP Policy (corn): • 173.5 bu./acre APH yield x $6/bushel = $1,041 x 0.80 = $832.80/acre guarantee • 187.0 bu./acre TA-APH yield x $6/bu. = $1,122 x 0.80 = $897.60/acre guarantee • Increased guarantee with the TA-APH endorsement = $64.80/acre Crop insurance premisum reductions for 2013 Crop insurance premiums for corn, soybeans and wheat in 2013 will be adjusted for the 2013 crop year in most areas of the Upper Midwest. These premium adjustments are based on updated RMA crop insurance actuarial data for several years. The crop insurance premium adjustments for 2013 will also apply to cotton, rice and grain sorghum in other areas of the United States. The reason for the premium adjustments is that the total crop insurance loss ratio in the United States from 1995-2011 averaged 0.84, meaning that 84 cents was paid out in crop insurance losses for every dollar paid in to the crop insurance program from producer premiums and federal subsidies. The crop insurance premium adjustments for 2013 will be on a state-by-state basis. States with crop insurance loss ratios lower than the U.S. average loss ratio will receive larger crop insurance premium reductions for 2013, while states with higher loss ratios will see premium increases in 2013. Crop insurance premiums for 2013 on comparable insurance coverage for corn are expected to drop by an average of 3 percent in Minnesota and 6 percent in

Iowa, while increasing by 15 percent in South Dakota and 11 percent in North Dakota. Soybean premiums in 2013 on comparable insurance coverage are expected to decrease by an average of 4 percent in Minnesota and 9 percent in Iowa, while increasing by 2 percent in both North Dakota and South Dakota. This year’s wheat premiums should be about 10 percent lower in Minnesota, and slightly higher in North Dakota and South Dakota. Actual crop insurance premium adjustments will vary by county, and will depend on the insurance coverage level selected. Bottom line The TA-AHP yield endorsement looks to be an attractive option for many producers on their 2013 crop insurance policies. The combination of the TAAPH endorsement, along with the reductions in crop insurance premiums at comparable coverage levels for most producers, will allow many producers to enhance their crop insurance revenue guarantees for corn, soybeans and wheat in 2013. This should allow crop producers to be more aggressive in forward pricing a higher percentage of their anticipated 2013 crop production during these times of highly volatile market prices. Producers are encouraged to contact their crop insurance agent well ahead of the March 15 deadline for 2013 crop insurance enrollment to find out more details about the TA-APH yield endorsement. There is a lot of variation with the TA-APH endorsement from county to county, farm unit to farm unit, and between corn, soybeans and wheat. Crop insurance agents can help producers analyze the various scenarios with the TA-APH endorsement, and to look at the best crop insurance strategies for 2013.

Bob GoodSee MIELKE, pg. 28 Madison’s Brian Gould forecasts a small retroactive payment for October, with higher payments starting in February 2013. With the potential for a small retroactive payment for last October (the first month of fiscal year 2013), it’s unclear how the MILC payment “start month” for some larger producers, subject to the milk production cap, will be affected, says the DBU. In the past, a producer’s previous “start month” was on file with the Farm Service Agency, and remained the same in the subsequent year, unless the producer did the proper paperwork to change months. There were no MILC payments made in October 2011, so it’s likely few if any larger producers had October as Second Annual All Beef Breed Female & Bull Sale a “start month.” Presumably, those producers would have selected start months of July, August or June 2012, when payments were the highest. However, once a payment to an individual producer had been initiated, “start months” could not be changed. If an October 2012 retroactive payment is made, would that impact the “start month” for some producers? Or, would those larger producers be eligible to declare a February 2013 MILC start month by Jan. 14, 2013? As they often say, “the devil is in the details.” Stay tuned. ■ The National Milk Producers Federation said it will continue its push in the 113th Congress for a five-year farm bill that includes the Dairy Security Act.

THE LAND, JANUARY 11, 2013

Everybody’s Market Cooperative, Long Prairie, Minn. Do you have a Back Roads story suggestion? E-mail editor@TheLandOnline.com or write to Editor,

Kingdom, back in 1844. At that time the Rochdale Society of Equitable Pioneers had a vision. They envisioned a cooperative organization. Their organization would serve the membership and the membership would own the organization and receive its profit. Membership would be open, voluntary and democratic. These new organizations would serve members economically and educationally. The Rochdale Pioneers laid out these ideas and lived by them. Their cooperatives were successful and their principles became the guiding principles for the international cooperative movement for generations. Minnesota has always had a strong cooperative movement. In the 1860s and 1870s farmers, tired of poor treatment from private storeowners, formed their own cooperative stores across Minnesota’s farm country. A hundred years later, rural and urban Minnesotans, who were looking for an alternative to increasingly processed food turned again to the cooperative model founded by those British pioneers. “Next year will be our 35th year,” said Kay Bradlich, of Everybody’s Market Cooperative in Long Prairie. “I don’t know if we were the first but we were one of the first cooperatives to start back then. A lot of us started in the 1970s.” In the 1970s young people were looking for simple foods such as whole-wheat flour, oatmeal and dried fruits in bulk produced without chemicals. Those people also found the idealism of the Rochdale Pioneers and the Minnesota immigrant farmers appealing. Today, many of the products that were sold by the cooperatives in the 1970s are now labeled organic and have become part of the huge organic industry. “We were out in front on that,” Bradlich said. “We were also way ahead on the local foods movement. Co-ops have always supported buying from local farmers and craftsman.” The cooperative movement comes, goes, and comes back again. Many of those 1970s co-ops are gone but others, like those in Windom, Ortonville, Blue Earth, Hackensack and Ely have prospered. Organic bulk foods are still central to the business of those co-ops. But so are other things like canned and frozen organic foods, vitamin supplements, locally produced maple syrup, gluten-free flour and drinks made without high fructose corn syrup, Bradlich said. But continued membership involvement in a cooperTheative Land, P.O. Box 3169, Mankato, MN 56002. is as important as the products it sells, she said.
