Letter: Election didn’t destroy America, but door was opened To the Editor: With the 2012 election history, it’s time to assess America’s future. In order to understand the Nov. 6 election results, consider our society’s last 60 years. In the past we were “one nation under God,” a society where, if we wanted to work hard, we could get ahead and achieve what we believed to be the American dream. We had pride in our country because we felt this country was respected and looked to as a world leader of virtuous values. No, I’m not going to say last year’s election results destroyed all the above, but it sure opened the door to a rude awakening. It’s been said, to deceive and mislead people, never tell one big lie, but tell a thousand little lies. Little by little, our nation has been systematically deceived and manipulated, creating a social environment that resulted in last November’s outcome. Let’s now consider what has happened to our glorious nation and its influence on our last election. It all started back in the 1940s and ’50s. There was a small network of communist and socialist supporters who had connections in Hollywood,
some of our higher education schools and major news media. Their aim was to divide our nation’s population by exploiting a selfish “me, myself and I” attitude. A “what’s in it for me” secular and materialistic society. During the 1950s and ’60s we saw the hippie and flower children emerge. Their slogan was “Make love, not war.” Smoke pot and work the least you had to. Then there developed an “I know better” attitude, a rebellion again authority. In 1973 the Roe vs. Wade decision made abortion legal, followed by the availability of contraception. There was an explosion of defiance and disobedience in the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, followed by the homosexual and radical feminist movement. The gay movements and disobedience took root in some areas of the Catholic Church, all of which has become public and sadly evident about 2000. It should be said, other religions and our public school system have not been exempt. Explicit reading material became commonly available, sexual conversation became part of the norm of personal conversation and television, and Hollywood and TV led the way with
suggestive movies and programs. Sex outside marriage is being glorified. Divorce is now over 50 percent; babies born to single women now exceed those born to married mothers. The stability of marriage as God has intended is now being challenged by the advocacy of same-sex marriage. What you have just read is the continual results of what has been referred to as the slippery slope of our nation’s moral decay. We’ve been told we have to tolerate other views, be non-discriminatory; we are just old-fashioned and behind the times. So many are now saying they don’t need God or any religion to tell them what to believe. They can decide for themselves what is right or convenient. Regular church attendance continues to drop. I’m sure by now some of you are saying, “What’s wrong with that?” Is it possible for many, what is wrong is now right and what is right is now wrong? On Nov. 6 we saw the results of the last 60 years of the slippery slope. We saw several states vote to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. A plan to legalize physician-assisted suicide
OPINION
was barely rejected in Massachusetts. Several states chose to legalize gay marriage. In Minnesota the constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage was defeated by voters. In Florida a ban on taxpayers paying for abortions was rejected by voters. A president was elected who favors tax funding of abortions. Little by little, deterioration of our society’s moral standards has taken place. This deterioration has affected all of us, and for many its results are now the norm. The question is now, “Where is our country going from here?” Those who started this assault on our nation’s moral fiber 50 to 60 years ago must be happy with the results of our last election. They have infiltrated our education system, our churches, our government and the minds of our citizens with great success. We reap the harvest from the seeds we sow. God gave us the Ten Commandments to obey. These are commandants, not suggestions. Each of us has a choice for our eternal destiny. Do we follow God’s rules or do we make up our own? God is all-loving but he is also all-just. Loren Riebel Le Sueur, Minn.
To the Editor: The writer of Dec. 28’s “Letter: Good news — majority of Americans not actually leeches” telling us how good the next four years are going to be needs a response. After the fiscal cliff deal where the deficit is going to $20 trillion, where everyone got a 2 percent cut in their first paycheck in January, where the debt limit will have to be extended by the end of February, where the president keeps telling everyone to “trust me,” where no budget cuts were made, where the Democratic Senate has never passed a budget, where our State Department let our Ambassador die at his post ... It just doesn’t seem like everything is peaches and cream. Leon Greenslit Olivia, Minn.
OPINION
Letter: Gun laws are least of concerns To the Editor: In the aftermath of the horrific act of violence that was committed recently in a Connecticut school, we are hearing exactly what could be expected. A cacophony of calls for more gun control laws. Fueled by the media’s frenzied 24/7 coverage, many of these calls are coming from publicity-starved, twofaced politicians who can’t resist the opportunity to get in front of a camera, turn on the tears, and act important. Why am I so critical of politicians? Consider this. Many of these very same politicians who are bemoaning the death of 26 people will stand in front of the same camera and demand the free and legal slaughter of millions from conception, through birth, and beyond. What a bunch of two-faced hypocrites. Now don’t get me wrong, what happened
in that Connecticut school is a tragedy. It should not have happened and it should not happen again. But before we go off half-cocked, passing a bunch of laws that will do nothing but give the before-mentioned politicians sound bites for their next campaign, maybe we should try to figure out why these things are happening. Everyone, even the most zealous gun control advocate, knows that no firearm, no matter how menacing it may look, is going to get up off the shelf, walk into a school, and start shooting all by itself. It can’t happen. It won’t happen. So what might make people think it’s OK to do things like this? I think a clue to answering that question can be found by asking ... • How many generations of Americans have grown up having been taught that there are no absolutes of right and wrong? Instead we are told
that everyone has to determine what is right or wrong for themselves, and that changes with the situation. (Situation ethics; if it feels good do it.) • How many generations of Americans have grown up having been taught that their existence, and life, are the result of nothing more than an accident and billions of years of time? Therefore human life has no more value than that of an animal. Could it be that people who commit these crimes are simply following through on what they’ve been taught? After all, the loud and clear message of those who promote free and legal abortion is that in many situations it’s OK or even desirable to kill. Rather ironic isn’t it? I think America is reaping the rewards of what’s been sown. Joel Oberdieck Truman, Minn.

generously on their Land Grant universities and ag experiment stations, a nationally-integrated system of research and education that was founded, hand-in-glove, with the Department of Agriculture in 1862. Today, however, the funding level is embarrassingly small. For example, 30 years ago two-thirds of all funding for the University of California’s Ag Experiment Station came from the state; today California pays but 15 percent. That’s shameful for the nation’s biggest ag state — and it’s pretty much the norm for every state nationwide. Overall federal spending for U.S. ag research and development, while not falling, has stagnated in the last decade even as private ag research funding has exploded. According to a December 2012 report
from the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, the feds spent $3.8 billion on ag research in 2009 while industry spent a staggering $8.7 billion. Private R&D is important, certainly, the report rightly notes, but the bulk of the money is “dedicated to commodity and high-value crop production ... specifically to the development of improved seeds and crop protection chemicals for the most lucrative global markets ...” In fact, “In 2011, the six largest multinational companies with significant agriculture focus invested nearly $6 billion globally in R&D for these two product categories” out of $14 billion spent on all American-sourced ag R&D. That rich, narrow focus leaves an ever-shrinking pool of available dollars See GUEBERT, pg. 8A

These large municipal facilities treat more than 80 percent of the wastewater produced by all Iowa cities and serve 55 to 60 percent of Iowa’s population. The approach relies on existing programs to require evaluation and installation of proven treatment technologies that are determined to be feasible, reasonable and cost effective with a goal of reducing the amount of total phosphorus entering Iowa streams and rivers by 16 percent and total nitrogen by 4 percent.

Iowan’s have a long history of deep care for the land and working together to solve problems. The Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy continues those traditions and makes Iowa a leader in finding solutions to nutrient loading to the waters of our state and improving water quality. The Iowa strategy is the first time stakeholders from both the point source community, such as municipal wastewater treatment plants and industrial facilities, and nonpoint sources, including farmers, have come together to develop a comprehensive plan. In the past, there has been a tendency on both sides to point fingers and place blame, and the result was inaction. The 2008 Gulf Hypoxia Action Plan calls for the 12 states along the Mississippi River to develop strategies to reduce both nitrogen and phosphorus loading to the Gulf of Mexico by 45 percent. The Iowa strategy follows the recommended framework provided by the Environmental Protection Agency in 2011 and is only the second state to complete a statewide nutrient reduction strategy. In the development of this strategy we have focused on using a science and technology-based approach to assess and reduce nutrients delivered to Iowa waterways and, eventually, to the Gulf of Mexico. As a result, the Iowa strategy is the first time such a comprehensive and integrated approach addressing both point and nonpoint sources of

Long-term needs overlooked Harnessing ag innovation GUEBERT, from pg. 6A for public institutions like Land Grant universities to address an everexpanding list of new problems facing farmers and ranchers, worries the White House report. Some of these “new challenges” include the need to boost the efficiency of shrinking water supplies while “reducing (ag’s) environmental footprint.” Other basic R&D is needed to address “challenges” not even mentioned in the report like small farm ecology, perennial plant development and rural infrastructure, key elements to efficient, effective food production 10, 20 and 30 years from now. “But ... these challenges,” the report explained, “... require a strong public commitment to agricultural research, one that fosters a culture of innovation and excellence to address some of the greatest threats to U.S. long-term prosperity and security.”
How much? The report recommends another $700 million in federal spending, or an 18-percent increase in today’s federal ag research budget. And, yeah, that’s a lot of money but it’s a pittance to help secure the future of the $2.25 trillion enterprise owned and operated by today’s farmers and ranchers. In fact, it’s just 12 percent of what the expanded federal crop insurance program would have cost if Big Ag’s 2012 farm bill had passed. So, what do you want, fatter crop insurance subsidies for one farm bill cycle or ag assurance for, maybe, another 150 years? To Abraham Lincoln, a visionary genius, the answer was simple. It still is. Alan Guebert’s “Farm and Food File” is published weekly in more than 70 newspapers in North America. Contact him at agcomm@farmandfoodfile.com. ❖
NUTRIENT, from pg. 7A Technology; Strengthen Outreach, Education, Collaboration; and Funding. To help start getting more of these practices on the landscape that have been proven to reduce nutrient loading, the Iowa Department of Agriculture has requested an additional $2.4 million in the next fiscal year for water quality work and $4.4 million in fiscal 2015. By harnessing the collective innovation and capacity of Iowa agricultural organizations, ag businesses and Iowa’s 90,000 farmers, the strategy takes a significant step forward toward implementing practices to improve water and soil quality on the state’s more than 30
million acres of farmland. To be successful, this strategy needs the input and support of all Iowans. The full strategy is available at www.nutrientstrategy.iastate.edu. Public comments were accepted until Jan. 18. We see this strategy as a key first step as all Iowans, both those on the farm and in urban areas, renew their efforts to move forward together to better protect the water here in Iowa and downstream, all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. This commentary was submitted by Bill Northey, Iowa secretary of agriculture, and Chuck Gipp, director of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. ❖

Amputee turns setbacks into comebacks Q: Is discouragement a challenge? Gustafson: It can’t be avoided. I get discouraged every day about various incidents. But that’s the See COMEBACKS, pg. 10A
<< www.TheLandOnline.com >> “Where Farm and Family Meet”
By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer “The reason we shouldn’t give up is because God never gives up on us.” That’s the advice of Ron “Gus” Gustafson, and when he talks, people listen. He’s a 6’ 5” handsome dude; says he weighs about 285 pounds. The Ron Gustafson 42-year-old’s voice is powerful. So, too, is his message. Gustafson’s business successes already in his young life are amazing. He has two sons in college and an “all-American” teenage daughter who already has convinced her dad that she intends to run for president of the United States. His sweetheart bride, Julie, is the love of his life and his daily inspiration. But what knocks your socks off when you’re in Gustafson’s presence is what you can’t see: his right arm and shoulder are missing. At age 9 a tractor accident resulted in the amputation of his right arm and shoulder and crushed his right leg. In spite of his injury, People greet you he was determined to and say ‘Have a excel in athletics. Yes, he was already decidgreat day.’ I ing that he didn’t much prefer to have a handicap. say ‘Make it a Gustafson played great day.’ varsity basketball, making honorable — Ron Gustafson mention all-state for his Lyons, Neb., team. He walked on to play at Kearney State College. In one-on-one shootarounds, he excelled. “I simply had to get on the court,” he said, “and do the things I had worked so hard to do as a high school ball player. I knew the crack of doubt could turn into the Grand Canyon of failure.” On the last day of tryouts, he tore cartilage and tendons in his left knee. He knew his season was over. Graduating in business, his life rapidly took on new dimensions because that same ambition, desire and energy carried over from athletics into his business life. Marketing quickly proved to be his new passion and also gave him the opportunity to use his life story as a background for a public speaking career which now commands much of his time. Q: How do you market motivation? Gustafson: Motivation comes from within. I’m not a motivational speaker, I just share my story and hopefully influence someone else. My slant on life is that if you deal squarely with the challenges of life you’re motivating yourself. I’m not about pumping people up. We are who we are. But if I leave you with some stories about my life, then maybe 10 years from now you’ll remember and it may help you get though your challenge. Q: How can we keep farmers excited when the transitions of agriculture are becoming so huge? Gustafson: It’s all about strategic planning. I can’t
wait ’til the age of 70 and then ask myself, ‘OK, how do I turn my farm over to my son?’ This process should start when Dad is in his 40s with young kids already showing some interest in farming. If we plan 20 years in advance we’ll get through that transition OK.

‘There’s still no better place to be raised than on a farm’ COMEBACKS, from pg. 9A challenge of life. After my accident when I was feeling sorry for myself, I’ll never forget my dad walking into my bedroom. His words: “Son, it doesn’t matter who you are, what you are or where you are at in life. At some point, a big garbage truck is going to back up beside you and dump its load of garbage right on top of you. At that very moment, you have a
decision to make. You can either sit in that garbage or you can process that garbage into fertilizer and make everything around you turn green, grow and prosper.” As he left my bedroom he pointed his huge index finger at me and said, “Son, it’s up to you. What are you going to do about it?” That made me more determined than ever to chase my dreams.

Q: How do you handle your bad days? Gustafson: I’ve never had a bad day. I just simply choose to make every day a great day. People greet you and say “Have a great day.” I much prefer to say “Make it a great day.” Q: Your concerns about America and election politics? Gustafson: I can solve some of our entitlement issues very easily — if you’re on welfare you don’t get to vote. If you’re getting a thousand dollars a month why would you vote me out of office? We need a leader to establish vision, outline the steps to get there, be willing to handle the pain along the way and pay the price. We’re better prepared to pay that price today than our grandchildren will be 20 years from now. We are Americans. Q: Agriculture is tremendously exciting these days. What do you think the future holds? Gustafson: The technology today is fantastic. Just look at what goes into the production of these new super hybrids. I think we’re about done with adding technology to a seed. Now I’m looking for the next new technology that’s going to roll out. We have tremendously efficient equipment, amazing seed that this year fought most of the challenges of Mother Nature. I’m wondering if how we handle our soils is next on the “break-through” agenda. There’s still no better place to be raised than on a farm. Recently I spoke at a youth prison in Omaha. A 12-year old boy incarcerated, in an orange jump suit, got my attention and I thought about my own youth on the Gustafson farm with my dad having us up by 5 a.m. and working us pretty hard all day. There was no messing around come evening. We hit the beds. Q: Are you concerned that people spend so much time in ‘virtual’ worlds, it’s impacting their ability to function in the real one? Gustafson: While driving to Olivia yesterday this idea come to my head. If all the cell phone, Facebook, Twitter and other cyberspace conversations were found to be causing cancer and that broke in to the news world, would that threat, in fact, shut down the cellular industry? I’m a fan of these technologies and use some myself, but if I can’t teach my kid how to handle conflict resolution nose-to-nose in a workplace how will they resolve these issues in the real world at a conference table. Q: Is God being ignored? Gustafson: Each paper currency in my billfold says “In God We Trust.” If we get back to the basic of identifying who God is and live our lives accordingly, our country, our world would clean itself up. Instead we’ve divorced ourselves from God. In the 1960s, God got pulled from our classrooms and test scores of students have continued to decline ever since. If we’re not submissive to our Creator, I’m worried about what He will do to our country. Gustafson’s book “Fully Armed” shares the details of his amazing life.

Political circuit: From farmer, to politician, to farmer and money out. “Plus a small advertising firm next door in Early (Iowa) put together a brochure and business card. Then you go door to door and that’s the big thing, the most important part of a campaign.” A promotional piece from one of Jim Meyer’s campaigns. Text on the back appealed to voters that he was “committed to working with you and for you. A good communicator, Jim takes the needs of each individual to heart.” At that time besides the 800 acres of crop farming, the Meyers were running a 300sow farrow-to-finish operation. “But I hired some good neighbors to custom farm the crop land. The schedule of the Iowa legislature recognizes this is not a fulltime job. We start the first Tuesday in January and you quit getting paid the end of April. It’s supposed to be a 100-day session. If you haven’t finished up, you work for nothing until you are done.” Fundraising wasn’t much of an issue for Meyer in 1991. In those days politics weren’t so expensive plus the Meyer family had some financial resources. He also sent out a letter to fellow Republicans and predictably that generated lots of $5s and $10s. “The reality is that we didn’t need a lot of money. My House district was Sac and Ida counties plus two-thirds of Woodbury County, with about 54,000 people total.” Meyer campaigned as a conservative with common sense and already had a good record as a successful farmer. Plus he and Madelyn came up with

he then visited with his “men friends” about his chances of winning and who should run: he or wife Madelyn. The men said “yes and you”; the women said “yes and Madelyn.” “New Year’s Eve we had our neighbor group over,” he said. “They encouraged us so by then it was a go.” Logistics at the Iowa Capital played a role in Meyer being the candidate. “In our Iowa State House elected officials don’t have an office,” he said. “You’ve got a desk about as wide as our kitchen table plus two chairs. That’s your office unless you’re a committee chair or have a House leadership position. So if this was going to work, Madelyn would be my secretary sitting right there beside my chair with a small file cabinet between us.” But obviously Meyer and his wife still had some decisions to make. He told Madelyn that if she ran and was elected, he didn’t want to be her secretary. But she said that if Jim ran and got elected, she would be his secretary. The campaign begins So on with the campaign. Meyer first visited with some current legislators about what to do, how to run a campaign. “That was good training,” he said. “I had helped some of these guys get elected in previous elections so knew a little about the logistics involved.” Everything starts with a committee and it has to for obvious reasons, including the need for a good bookkeeper to keep track of financing, both money in

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Retired Sac County, Iowa, farmer Jim Meyer tilled the soil and raised hogs several years after graduating from Iowa State University in 1957. He also was an ag teacher and worked in banking a few years before returning to his parents’ Jim Meyer Odebolt farmstead. But Meyer thought rural Iowa life could be a bit more involved if politics became part of his agenda. So in 1992 Meyer decided to run for the Iowa Legislature. He got elected and for the next six years (three terms, from 1993-98) he and wife, Madelyn, made Des Moines their winter residence during the four-month session of the Iowa Legislature. Why the political urge? “I consider myself to be a genetic Republican,” Meyer said. “I was born into a strong Republican family. My dad (Dwight Meyer) was an Iowa legislator in the late 1940s/early ’50s. My mother was active on the State Republican Central Committee. She even attended the National Republican Convention one time as a state delegate. So the ‘background genes’ were all in place.” Lighting the political fire He recalled a few conversations with his dad about politics but questioned his own interest and capability, especially the enthusiasm to do the campaign work. But a farm visit by Meyer’s state representative in June 1991 lit the fire. Meyer said, “He told me he was thinking of running for the state Senate but didn’t want to give up his House seat unless he had a candidate that could win on the Republican ticket. And he said to me ‘would either you or Madelyn be interested in running for office?’” Meyer said they would visit with some friends and would give him an answer by Labor Day. Meyer said

Minnesota 4-H Foundation plans for the future By CAROLYN VAN LOH The Land Correspondent The 110-year history of Minnesota’s 4-H Foundation has its roots in agriculture. Ensuring the strength and quality of 4-H’s involvement in animal science and agriculture is vital to the quality of the state’s agriculture industry. Over the years, 4-H has adapted its programs to meet the changing needs of rural youth. A recent U.S. Department of Agriculture survey indicated a shortage of agricultural scientists. 4-H has taken on the new challenge of developing animal science/agriculture projects that will expose middle school age children, rural and urban, to the science of agriculture and to careers in that industry. Cara Miller, executive director of Minnesota’s 4-H Foundation, emphasized the foundation’s goal to “encourage young people already living in a rural setting to stay there,” but she went on to say, “we want urban/suburban kids to get excited, too.” All good programs come at a cost. The 4-H Foundation is currently employing two channels to raise funds for developing projects with an emphasis on science. The first, a $66,000 grant from the Minnesota Corn Growers Association, will fund the hiring of a program manager and curriculum developer. A total of $144,000 is needed to start the program, so before this program can be put into place, donors are needed to match the grant money already available. “We are trying to create a higher interest in science and science literacy,” said Mark Hamerlinck,
MCGA communications director. Miller, who is excited about the new focus, said, “we hope to get this moving in the next few months.” A second channel of funds, the 4-H Animal Science/Agriculture Endowment, will provide the 4-H Foundation with $1 million to develop the program begun by the MCGA grant as well as generate resources for years to come. Bob Shepard, Animal Science/Agriculture Endowment fundraising point person, referred to the endowment as “a million dollar promise.” He went on to say, “If we had this endowment in place now, we would be able to start this project.” The 4-H Foundation hopes to have the $1 million available within the next 2 1/2 years. This endowment will ... • help grow youth participation in 4-H animal science/agriculture projects. • provide resources for developing new curriculum and projects. • create training opportunities for youth and adult volunteers in 4-H animal science/agriculture projects. • support 4-H youth attendance at state and national learning opportunities related to agriculture. • provide activities that improve the knowledge and skills of our young people. • provide opportunities for 4-H youth to learn about agricultural-related jobs.
Shepard sees the emphasis on science in 4-H projects as an opportunity to encourage rural and urban youth to consider a career in the agriculture industry, on and off the farm. “The key would be to have a fun, ‘hands-on’ science activity that teaches basic science principles, involves using science and math and sparks the interest of the participants in science, math and agriculture.” For information on donating to the endowment, call Bob Shepard at (507) 589-5793. Call the 4-H Foundation at (612) 614-7971 for information on donating matching funds to raise the $78,000 needed to hire a program manager and curriculum developer. ❖
Fallen prey to ‘retirement disease’ of antique tractors
POLITICIAN, from pg. 12A not family members so the next generation isn’t likely to be in the pork production business.” ‘Retirement disease’ Meyer admits to the same retirement disease of lots of farmers: collecting a few older tractors. He’s got about 12 in his shed right now but it’s not only tractors. “I just bought a 1984 combine for $15,000. Yes, it’s much smaller than the mega machines of today but it’s still a very functional combine. No yield monitor and no whistles and only a four-row corn head with 20-foot soybean header but with my lesser crop acres it does the job perfectly well.” When you’ve got to decide between buying a new combine or an 80-acre piece of ground but opt for the combine, Meyer thinks that person is getting a little “machinery heavy” in his business decisions. Advice to would-be politicians? “Unfortunately our society has gotten so government-dependent for all or part of their livelihood,” Meyer said, “which means that to get elected you’ve got to cater to those people who are used to handouts. There’s a fine line between doing what’s right and what it takes to get elected.” ❖
Local chef returns home to lead Lake Elmo Inn executive chef above me. Within a year I was promoted to executive chef at a new Hyatt in Des Moines.” He admits that he wasn’t too excited about the Des Moines move because there are so many “glamorous” places in the Hyatt world. The experience was good, however, because Des Moines was in an economic downspin. Massey Ferguson had moved their construction industry to Canada, resulting in considerable unemployment. “I had 40-year-old bus boys working for me because they couldn’t find other work. Right then the hotel wasn’t doing well financially, but thanks to an executive team we were able to make that place profitable. And that gave me the confidence to maybe one day go out on my own,” Schiltz said. His faith was apparently at work. In September 1983 he came back to Lake Elmo for a friend’s wedding. That same day the restaurant was put up for sale. “If you believe in faith, it works,”
Schiltz said. “No one knew I was coming home except my parents. The next day I went over and talked to the owner. I sat in his kitchen. I told him ‘I can do this. You’ve got to give me a chance. I tried to convince him how much I had learned since leaving town seven years back. But he said ‘No, I don’t think you can do it.’” But fate indeed intervened. Schiltz said the owner’s wife overheard their conversation, quietly came around the corner of the kitchen, and said to her husband, “Give him a chance.” The rest is history. “I found the investors. We opened Dec. 1, 1983, and I’ve never looked back. We’re now starting our 30th season,” Schiltz said.

ting a job in the prestigious Antlers Plaza in the Broadmor Hotel. Two years later a feeling of homesickness brought him back to Lake Elmo but a hometown friend convinced Schiltz he should try San Francisco. “Here’s this Minnesota boy going to San Francisco in the 1970s,” he said. “About all Minneapolis had at that time were the Lemington and Curtiss hotels. I get out there and I see my first Hyatt Hotel, I see the Golden Gate Bridge, I see sky rise buildings. I’m in awe. I was like this kid in Candy Land. “I did construction work there for 1 1/2 years before I got up nerve to apply for a job at the Hyatt Hotel. Much to my amazement they offered me the opportunity to be the sous chef (second in command) at a new Hyatt in Kansas City. I opened the Pepper Corn Duck Club which made the prestigious ranking as one of the top 100 U.S. restaurants.” Schiltz’s next move was executive sous chef at the new Hyatt Hotel in downtown Minneapolis. “I was 23,” he said. “Perhaps too young in the minds of many but I was the only Hyatttrained chef in the kitchen of this new hotel which at that time had 70 cooks. So now I had seven managers (sous chefs) plus all those cooks and the

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Starting as a dishwasher in 1971 while still in high school, Chef John Schiltz, 56, is now the proud owner of Lake Elmo Inn and the 2013 John Schiltz recipient of the Minnesota Beef Backer Award. From his perspective it’s all about faith. As a dishwasher he visualized eventually owning this inn, which dates back to 1881 when it was built as a stage-coach, sleep-over stop. During its early history the building also housed the local barbershop, a pool hall and a liquor store. But time marches on and several stops along the way only reinforced his ambition, and his marketing skills as an executive chef. Schiltz progressed from dishwasher to cook at what was then known as Ben’s Elmo Inn, located in the heart of downtown Lake Elmo, Minn. After high school he did a one-year stint at the St. Paul Culinary School which instructs student chefs on how to master their skills, as well as ambitions. Four days after his 20th birthday he drove to Colorado Springs, Colo., get-

Schiltz: Menu built around beef, particularly Hereford ELMO, from pg. 15A ing more than just a casual experience. A major remodel and a new focus on beef, featuring the 1881 Hereford Brand of fine steaks, is now generating a growing customer base even among younger diners who recognize value. The menu features Bone-in-Rib Eye, New York Strip, Prime Rib, TBone and their very own “Elmo Sirloin” available in petite 4-ounce servings, a 6-ounce offering and the generous 8-ounce steak. The New York is offered as a 6-ounce or a 12ounce serving. “I’m really proud of the place. I’m proud of my staff. I’ve got 16 or so now with me over 20 years. For an independent restaurant that’s amazing,” he said. The seven-county metro area makes up the bulk of his business but as word gets out, so does his trade. “Lots of guests are now from greater
Minnesota and Wisconsin,” Schiltz said, “especially summertime tourists enroute to the Stillwater area. My challenge to myself was great food and great service, and with that ambiance as well. That takes some time. I’d say 12 to 14 years before we had the ambiance.” All the floors and most of the walls are cherry wood with appropriately located windows. “When I took it over the bar walls were all red carpeting, and no windows. It was very dark,” Schiltz said. “That was in the ’60s when the two-martini lunch was in vogue and nobody wanted to be seen.” He’s incorporated some creative marketing, too. In an effort to get locals to take some pride in “their” restaurant, Schiltz years back started offering a free drink to those bringing in Christmas ornaments. His crew even fastened a special ceiling net for display purposes of the hundreds of ornaments put on display each holiday season.
Expectedly, they’ve run out of room but a better idea surfaced from one of the employees. Now patrons bring in non-perishable food items for the Stillwater Area Food Shelf and the free drink offering is still in place. Last year the Lake Elmo Inn donated over 3,000 pounds of food. Let’s talk beef Meats are always the heart and soul of great restaurants. Schiltz isn’t modest when he states that he does food better than most. “We’ve never done a specialty because we feel we specialize in everything,” he said. “I put lots of tender loving care into my rack of lamb, or my duck, my fillets, the New Yorks, the seafoods. I even have sun fish on my menu. But last July I made the decision that I wanted to build my menu around beef, specifically the 1881 Hereford Brand of fine beef. “Minnesota has a lot of Hereford cattle producers. Today I am very honored to serve that product. It is the way beef used to taste. The Hereford breed was brought into America back in the 1800s to improve the quality of beef. The Hereford stayed true to their genetics and to me that is what makes Hereford beef so unique. We went with the 188l Hereford Brand because that is the top of the line.” Schiltz was more than a bit particular when he decided to focus on beef. Sysco, his food purveyor, took him to Omaha for an in-person visit at two feedlots and also a tour of one of the Omaha slaughter plants to observe the process. “It blew me away,” he said. “A couple hundred guys and some gals with knives meticulously trimming and cutting that carcass. Every time they made a cut they switched knives from a sanitation solution. I couldn’t believe the cleanliness and the efficiency. It seems every piece from that carcass was cut out, trimmed and sourced to outlets around the world. Seeing this really makes you a believer of the quality of American beef.” A local butcher handles the beef halves from Sysco Foods and cuts the T-bones and rib eye steaks for Schiltz. He cuts his own fillets, New Yorks and sirloins. Perhaps predictable at Lake Elmo Inn, the Fillet Mignon is the top-selling beef item. “It’s our ‘Cadillac, the best of the best,’ I tell my customers,” Schiltz said. Part of this taste excellence, however,
also comes from the machinery in his kitchen, a special broiler used by some of the finest chefs in America including Murray’s in Minneapolis. “It’s a broiler that cooks from on top down. It gets my beef to about 1,600 degrees. The fat just bubbles on the top and bastes it as it cooks,” he said. Cook from the bottom and you sometimes get that carbon flavor from the flames flaring up. Schiltz cooked that way for years and that is why he didn’t venture into specialty cuts. Saturday night is their biggest night, but they also offer a “Senior Appreciation Day” each Monday which averages about 150 people for lunch, about 125 for dinner. Tuesday is Steak Night. Wednesday is “Raw Bar” day with halfprice for oysters, shrimp or crab claws. “Three different oysters from around the country. We crack ’em right out in front of everybody,” Schiltz said. “We’re out here in Lake Elmo, not exactly a buzzing suburb, so we have to be adventurous. ... My staff is super friendly and they make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in.” So do you need a big checkbook to enjoy dining at the Lake Elmo Inn? That depends upon how you price value. “One of the worst values I ever had was a $1.95 breakfast in Las Vegas,” he said. Bone-in-Rib Eye at $48 tops the price list; the T-Bones, fillets, New Yorks are in the $30 range. That Elmo Sirloin is priced at $22 and $19. “I want to give everyone the opportunity to eat this great beef,” Schiltz said. “Yes, the general slowdown in the U.S. economy has slowed things for the Lake Elmo Inn. The last six months are better but I don’t yet feel comfortable. I think we’re going in the right direction but I wouldn’t bet the house on it. “I’m in the country. This is not Minneapolis so I try to keep my price points in check. I do worry about my community. My $47 rib-eye steak is like $68 at Mannys; Murray’s Butter Knife Steak Sandwich is perhaps in that $100 range. But it’s an awesome cut of meat. You can’t get a better New York sirloin. “I think ours is just as good, however.” Lake Elmo Inn is located at 3442 Lake Elmo Avenue North, Lake Elmo, Minn.

Direct marketing beef in Minnesota’s ‘wolf country’ By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Niche marketing only works when there are a limited number of players. One of those players in the beef industry is Chute Debbie Chute John Chute Family Farm in Aitkin, Minn., where beef cattle and beef farmers are indeed limited. “We’re up here in wolf country, and have been now for 32 years,” said John Chute, owner and operator with his wife, Debbie. Having cattle in “wolf country” means a few losses to these ranging critters but they’ve only had about a dozen verified losses over the past 15 years. “During those more vulnerable times we keep our cows and calves closer to the buildings. How you manage your herd makes a difference when you’re talking predation,” John said. His take on the limited wolf hunt permitted this season? “We’ve watched this issue for several years simply because we are a stakeholder. This past Jan. 27 when the wolf came off the federal endangered

... people found out that we had beef cattle and started coming to us asking if they could buy from us. We thought ‘why not give it a try’ and it’s been a gradually expanding business ever since. — Debbie Chute species list gave us some latitude on how to protect our livelihood. That decision, I think, was the best thing that has happened in many years up here where predation has been a factor. This current hunt is a portion of the total plan.” Chute Family Farm involves 320 acres and 60 “mama” cows in their crossbred black Angus cow-calf operation. They feed all their calves and direct market “farm fresh” beef to a clientele that gradually keeps expanding in geography and volume. Direct marketing of beef means some team effort. “We work closely with a few custom butcher shops who process according to our offerings, which is only quarters and halves for our customers,” John said. “They then get their local butcher to do the additional trimming and cutting into individual pieces.” Their direct marketing began with just a few local friends and neighbors. “But over the years word of mouth apparently has been our best advertising tool. We now have clients 200 miles from our farm in all directions. We’re far from saturating the market. Offer good quality and it seems to grow on its own,” he said. Chute Family Farm offers a pre-order promotion which pretty much means everything is “cash sales”

when orders are placed or at pickup time. That cross-breeding program on Angus cows is pretty much a “hybrid vigor” thing which means better feed efficiency, faster gains, and perhaps a bigger carcass which translates to more
pounds of product to sell. He credits the American Angus Association for a tremendous nationwide promotion campaign making Angus the meat of choice. Chute Family Farm has been active with the University of Minnesota carcass merit program. “That gave us a great avenue to better understand the carcass quality of our animals. And that also gives us a comfort level in doing what we are doing. Plus discerning customers seem to know about the Angus trademark. ” Because they market only quarters and halves, they have not yet crossed that threshold of specialty cuts for area restaurants. “We’d love to move into that marketing arena also but at this point in time we’ll concentrate on these bigger portions,” John said. So how did this direct marketing idea hatch 32 years ago? Debbie said, “people found out that we had beef cattle and started coming to us asking if they could buy from us. We thought ‘why not give it a try’ and it’s been a gradually expanding business ever since.” Farm-fresh beef is the marketing hook that seems to get people interested. Locally grown foods continue to be an escalating phenomenon, and Chute Family Farm’s “Natural Choice for Quality Beef ” seems to fit that formula very well. See MARKETING, pg. 19A

Tender loving care gives ‘extra mileage’ to mama cows Debbie said their marketing consists of a letter sent out early spring to all existing customers, and new names who have expressed interest. “Our letter simply says our beef is soon ready for marketing and asks if they are ready to order. We ask that they call so we can determine the number of animals to process. That we need to set up the processing schedule.” When direct marketing beef carcasses, does the state of the economy impact buying? Debbie said they have had about a 10-percent decline in customer numbers since the economic decline. As families get smaller because of kids growing up and going to college or work, their long-established customers are cutting down just a bit on quantity.
Already honored with a Beef Quality Assurance Certified Producer award, John feeds to a finished
The Chutes will even custom provide differing carcass weights for certain customers, like an elderly couple that simply doesn’t have appetites for larger portions, or a younger couple with growing children who can readily handle larger cuts. “We target what would be a high choice product. That is our goal,” John said. “If we have extra animals that aren’t needed for our direct market, we take them to a harvest facility and sell on ‘yield and grade’ basis. Consistently these animals are in the high choice category and that means over 80 percent choice.” For the Chutes, direct marketing is a seasonal business simply because the majority of their calves are spring calves. This means they are ready to be processed at 14 to 18 months. “We do have a few fall calves but the majority of our customers know we will have beef ready in that May to

Because of a generous amount of tender loving care, the Chutes get some extra mileage out of their mama cows. “We’ve got a number of cows that are in the 10- to 12-year-old category. It just seems like the longevity is there with the right management,” said John. Profitability is not necessarily a given when you direct market beef animals; feed and other production costs have escalated substantially for the Chutes. John does think their direct marketing program provides more stability of income. “We have noticed that because we sell in quantity rather than individual cuts, some people no longer can afford quantity purchases,” he said.
“Most of our customers perhaps have to plan a little better on their food budgets for the entire year. Because when they buy a quarter or a half of beef, that pretty much represents their meat purchase for the year.” The Chutes have three children — daughter Eva and her husband, Jeff, live in Minneapolis; son, Thomas, is a senior at the U of M, Crookston, where he is majoring in agricultural education; daughter Sarah is a freshman at Bemidji State University looking at a degree in elementary education. The Chutes were interviewed at the Minnesota State Cattlemen’s Association annual conference in December. ❖

Tragic tale of Minnesota’s worst mine disaster told By TIM KING The Land Correspondent Death in America’s mines has been all too frequent. During the years 1901 to 1925 there were a total of 356 mine disasters in the United States. A disaster is defined by the occurrence of five or more deaths, according to the U.S. Mine Rescue Association. In 1907, the worst year on record, 3,242 workers died in coalmines in this country. That doesn’t count the deaths in iron, silver, copper and other types of mines.
Rescue Association reported 34 mining fatalities. Among the disasters in 1907 was history’s worst — the Monongah coalmine explosion. That West Virginia explosion claimed 362 lives and impelled Congress to create the Bureau of Mines.
Thanks to the agitation by workers and their families, new technologies and improved working conditions have been introduced in the mining industry. It’s still dangerous work, however. In 2009, the year with the least deaths on record, the U.S. Mine
Minnesota’s worst mine disaster was 17 years later, on the Cuyuna Iron Range near Crosby. On Feb. 5, 1924, 41 men either drowned or were buried alive in mud when the water from a nearby lake roared into the Milford iron mine.

Berger Aulie wrote an excellent history of this terrible event in his 1994 book “The Milford Mine Disaster: A Cuyuna Range Tragedy.” Aulie’s book breathes life into what could be a dusty old tale with a mere statistic: 41 dead. He has photos of most of the miners who died. The photos are accompanied by as much information as he could gather about each of the miners. Nels Ritall Ritari, for instance was 37years-old when he drowned 175 feet below the surface of the earth. He was a married Finnish immigrant with three sons and one daughter. Aulie includes a newspaper clipping on Ritari, who had only recently begun work as a miner. “Nels Ritari’s body, the 10th victim’s body to be taken from the Milford Mine, where 41 miners lost their lives when the mine was inundated by water from Foley Lake, on Feb. 5, 1924, was found in Room 17 on the 175 foot level, at 11 p.m. on Tuesday evening,” the clipping reports. Aulie’s compelling telling of the tale proceeds from descriptions of the people of the Cuyuna Range, the disaster itself, relief activities, recovery of the bodies and the investigation into the cause of the accident. His chapter on the disaster is breathtaking. On the first two pages is a chilling drawing, from the Crosby Courier, announcing the disaster, and the mine’s Daily Labor And Operating Report for the day of the disaster. “For God’s sake run faster! The whole lake has come running in’ Running like mad from his first encounter with death, 14-year old Frank Hrvatin Jr. urged Matt Kangas on toward the shaft and ladder of the Milford underground mine. Behind them, on the 175-
foot level, Harry Hosford, the last of seven miners the deluge gasped, ‘For God’s sake, hurry! as the three began the 175-foot climb to the surface and safety. Young Frank jumped in between Kangas’ legs and boosted him up the ladder, reaching back for his partner Hosford.” “Fifty-two years later, Frank sounded frantic, nearly crying, as he related, ‘I took my partner out of the mud — he was in mud up to his hips! — that’s how fast the water was coming in and the mud — but we made it!” In Crosby there was lots of finger pointing, most of which Aulie doesn’t report on. He does wag his finger at the undertakers who seemed to squabble over the bodies as the Herculean recovery went on month after month. Aulie also finds fault with a Brainerd labor newspaper, which he says, politicized the disaster, and the investigating committee, which he said, found that the disaster was unavoidable. “Why?” he asks. Aulie should be applauded for his retelling of this important event in Minnesota history. His words, collection of photos and newspaper clippings, and assembled photographs make for fascinating and accessible reading for anybody even slightly interested in Minnesota history. His words also assure that the workmen who died that day will not be forgotten. One word of warning: The book appears to be poorly manufactured and will likely not withstand very many readings.

for butter, the price gives clear indication that butterfat in Oceania is still priced well below U.S. or EU levels, according to FC Stone dairy economist Speaking of exports, FC Stone’s Jan. Bill Brooks. The most recent EU AMF 17 e-Dairy Insider Opening Bell price, released two weeks ago, was 90 reported that this week’s Global Dairy cents higher than this week’s GDT Trade auction price for anhydrous price, he said. GDT prices on skim milk powder dropped 0.3 percent to milkfat rose 2.4 percent to about $1.6112/lb. $1.4755/lb., or $1.1828/lb. when adjusted for 80 percent butterfat. The Jan. 11 Daily Dairy Report said While AMF is not an exact equivalent U.S. dairy product exports were down sharply across all products, according to November trade data. DDR analyst Sarina Sharp talked about it in the Jan. 11 Daily Dairy Discussion posted on the DDR website. For the first time in 2012, cheese exports of 40.6 million pounds were lower than the prior month and year by a half percent and 7.6 percent, respectively, on a daily average basis. She pointed out that “as has been the case throughout 2012, when the U.S. cheese price exceeds the world price, U.S. exports slow and more cheese becomes available in the domestic spot market and November was no exception.” Also, for the first time in five years, cheese imports climbed above 40 million pounds resulting in a staggering 24-percent increase in U.S. cheese imports, compared with November 2011, and nearly 60 percent more than in October 2012. Sharp warned that “the reversal in U.S. cheese trade could be a contributing factor to recent spot price declines. With strong domestic cheese prices in October and November, U.S. cheese was far less competitive in the world market.” She also reported that, presented with an opportunity, New Zealand made quick work of capturing world market share of cheese at the expense of U.S. exports. In November, New Zealand set a single-month record for cheese exports of nearly 81 million pounds, according to Statistics New Zealand. The second closest month was May 2003 at about 75.8 million pounds. • 507-388-4599 Sharp said “New Zealand’s increased cheese production likely resulted in additional whey products, which could

explain the recent softening in U.S. whey prices.” ■ In dairy politics, with dairy policy reform on hold, the National Milk Producers Federation is ramping up attention on an issue affecting the day-today operations of many dairies: immigrant labor availability. NMPF CEO Jerry Kozak said “there’s continued pressure from the business community, including agriculture that our current ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ employment system is broken. ... All of these things are aligning to create a more favorable political climate. There is light at the end of this tunnel.” The NMPF hosted a conference call, Jan. 16, to discuss recent developments on the issue. Among those is the formation of the Agriculture Workforce Coalition, an organization seeking to ensure America’s farms, ranches and other agricultural operations have access to a stable and skilled workforce.” The NMPF is one of 11 founding members of the AWC. Mike McCloskey, chair of the NMPF’s immigration task force, said solving the issue is critical to the future of the U.S. dairy industry and to food supply and safety issues impacting consumers. ■ Dairy will be represented at the Super Bowl this year. The International Dairy Foods Association’s SmartBrief reported that the Milk Processor Education Program, which is responsible for a number of the well-known “Got Milk?” advertisements, is buying a 30-second commercial to be aired in the second quarter of Super Bowl XLVII. Dwayne Johnson, known as “the Rock,” will appear in the commercial, which intends to show a father going to great lengths to procure milk for his children’s cereal.

Motivational speaker: Life is short, enjoy the ride
THE LAND, JANUARY 25, 2013
By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer “Every day wake up and love what you are doing. Life is short. Enjoy the ride, each day.” Those words by Steve Gilliland set the stage for his challenging yet humorous presentation at December’s Midwest Dairy Expo in St. Cloud, Minn., to an audience that quietly listened to grasp every comment, then moments later was applauding and
laughing vigorously at his outrageous stories. Who is this Steve Gilliland? Well, for starters he’s one of the most indemand and top-rated speakers in America. His motto is simple: “If you take care of people, the business will follow.” He credits his Christian mother for teaching him as a child that compassion for people, commitment to hard work and a balanced-life ethic are the keys to a purpose-driven life.

Cropland rental rates continue to vary widely throughout Minnesota. Landowners and tenants alike are challenged when trying to calculate a fair and equitable land rent value. The North Central Farm Management Extension Committee has recently developed a series of land rent publications and forms that will aid landowners and tenants with determining a land rent value. The publication series includes a separate document on fixed and flexible cash rental arrangements, crop share arrangements, and pasture rental. Each document includes information on how to select the appropriate rent format, various aspects to consider when developing the rental contract, a set of example calculations and work-

THE LAND, JANUARY 25, 2013
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced a final rule establishing general regulations for improving the traceability of U.S. livestock moving interstate. “The United States now has a flexible, effective animal disease traceability system for livestock moving interstate, without undue burdens for ranchers and U.S. livestock businesses,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. “The final rule meets the diverse needs of the countryside where states and tribes can develop systems for tracking animals that work best for them and their producers, while addressing any gaps in our overall disease response efforts. Over the past several years, USDA has listened carefully to America’s farmers and ranchers, working collaboratively to establish a system of tools and safeguards that will help us target when and where animal diseases occur, and help us respond quickly.” Under the final rule, unless specifically exempted, livestock moved interstate would have to be officially identified and accompanied by an interstate certificate of veterinary inspection or other documentation, such as ownershipper statements or brand certificates. After considering the public comments received, the final rule has several differences from the proposed rule issued in August 2011. These include: • Accepting the use of brands, tattoos and brand registration as official iden-

Irish rubber to soothe the hooves of American cattle By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Sounds a bit strange, but rubber made in Ireland is providing real comfort for American cattle. The product is called EasyFix Rubber Flooring, and Steve Bartlam of AGSourcing International LTD is the guy showing it off at beef meetings this winter. “EasyFix Rubber was introduced into the North
American market five years ago through our confinement facilities in Ontario, Canada,” Bartlam said. “Our firm is in the sourcing business. Earlier rubber livestock mats were made from poor quality rubber. We did more research to find the best quality rubber and that’s how we found out about EasyFix Rubber. “We brought some to America; put it into some livestock barns and rapidly could see the value of this product. It’s made with what is called a natural virgin
rubber (liquid) tapped from a rubber tree much like tapping maple syrup. It doesn’t contain any recycled chopped up tires. The compounds in this rubber are of the highest quality, much like a brand new tractor tire.” Rubber and manufacturing for these flooring products comes from India through Ireland and then Steve Bartlam shipped to AGSourcing. According to Bartlam, this rubber has a high tensile strength which adds considerably to the longevity of this product. “It is good stuff,” he said. “It does last a long time.” Because of the design of EasyFix Rubber, it’s a natural over concrete slats. “Each mat has a design slope for easy slurry runoff and the deep-ribbed underside allows for double the traction. The animal’s hooves readily sink into these mats. Cattle walk relaxed with no fear of slipping,” Bartlam said. So what is the longevity? Bartlam hedged a bit, saying they haven’t been on the market long enough to get a good read on durability. But they do put an eight-year warranty (three-years full, five-years prorated) on EasyFix Rubber mats. “We’ve had them in place five years. You can go into the center of the pen; cut out a piece of the mat and you would still see the EasyFix emblem, and the tread pattern would still be strong.” Depending upon volume, the usual quote for EasyFix Rubber mating is $7 per square foot. But longrun he claims lower costs because of reduced lameness of the animals and the bonus of faster gains on rubber, at least a quarter-pound per day improvement. AGSourcing also can provide rubber mats for calf structures which have a narrower gap and is slightly smoother surface. Next will be EasyFix Rubber for slatted floor swine barns. “We’ve been researching and designing for hog barns and now have the product. We’ll have it into the U.S. market in just a few weeks,” Bartlam said. For more information, log on to www.agsourcing.net or e-mail Bartlam at sbartlam@agsourcing.net. Bartlam was interviewed at the recent meeting of the Minnesota State Cattlemen’s Association in Alexandria. ❖

Schwagel’s Grocery, Spring Hill, Minn.
f you have any memories of a country store, they may come back to you when you walk into Schwagel’s Grocery. It isn’t in the country. It is in the town of Spring Hill (population 85) in Stearns County, Minn., kept company by two bars, a ballroom, a garage, a salon and St. Michael’s Catholic Church. But the building with its original wooden floor is well over a century old, and the shelves could not be too much younger. When John and Dorine Schwagel married in 1965, they took over the store from her parents, who had owned it since 1947. The Schwagels moved into the living quarters in back and on the second floor, and raised their family there.
A 1904 photo on the wall shows the original building when Henry S. Ley operated a store on the first floor and a hotel on the second floor. Through the years, a lean-to garage was added on the south, and a similar addition on the north was once a bar. (That addition came when two brothers owning a bar had a disagreement, and one brother started his own bar.) It is now storage. The approximate 15-foot by 25-foot retail space has always been a grocery, or more properly, a general store. When the Schwagels took over, there were gas pumps out front, and with the groceries they sold baby clothes, dry goods, household items, tennis shoes, paint, hardware ... you name it.
From the addition on the north they sold twine, rope, seed corn and feed. Today the Schwagels still stock a little hardware, work gloves, light bulbs and religious statuary in addition to groceries, frozen pizzas and other items. Spring Hill never grew when County Road 4 was moved a mile east, but the store has continued for over a century. While for some to enter Schwagel’s Grocery is a step back in time, for local folks it is what it has always been — a convenient place to pick up a few necessities. The store sits on the county road that runs through Spring Hill, but has no sign. Look for a light-colored building with a brown awning. ❖

Grain Angles USDA bullish to corn, wheat
The following market analysis is for the week ending Jan. 18. CORN — Corn gapped higher to begin the week as it extended the post-January U.S. Department of Agriculture report rally well into the week and into first resistance at $7.33 1/4 to $7.35 per bushel before taking a breather. March corn settled higher for eight consecutive days until closing lower Jan. 7. First support is now seen at $7.22 3/4 and then $7.12 1/4 per bushel; and if first resistance is broken, resistance moves to $7.50. Taking a peek ahead at new crop December corn, PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. in the last 20 years there has only St. Paul been one year when the December corn contract has not traded higher than its January high. In a nutshell, history says you usually have a chance to sell December corn higher at some point later in the year. Last year it took until the drought inspired rally that began in June. The updated National Weather Service maps for June, July and August show above-normal temperatures for Illinois on the east, Iowa on the north and Texas to the south. There is an equal chance for normal, above-normal or below-normal precipitation for that time frame. The rally this week can be attributed to the friendly Jan. 11 crop report and was reinforced by a better-than-expected weekly export sales report. But
This coming year looks to be interesting for the livestock markets. Both the cattle and hog markets have started off with the price direction lower. There is likely to be a conflict throughout the year based on a tightening supply of animals versus declining demand for meat products. This could setup a continual battle of the fundamentals and extremely volatile and erratic markets. The cattle market started the year with an upward price hike the first week followed by a quickly deteriorating price structure in the second week. Cattle numbers are believed to be tight JOE TEALE Broker and the bulls are relying on the decreased supply to keep prices Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. on the increase. The problem that keeps sneaking into that belief is the fact that demand is on the decline which is offsetting the tighter supplies. Cattle weights are also much greater than a year ago which offsets the fewer cattle numbers by increasing the total beef production. The packer has been cutting back the kill also which is an attempt to force the beef cutout higher to try to improve a dismal profit margin. This is likely going to further backup cattle and offset the theory over the short term that there is a supply problem. At the same time the beef cutouts continue to find resistance just under the $200 per hundredweight
The January U.S. Department of Agriculture crop report is one of the most anticipated reports of the year in the grain industry. In this report the USDA gives their final estimates on the 2012 crops and the ending stocks to be carried over to the next year. These estimates are said to be final, yet they will be revised from time to time over the next couple of years. Many people will “second guess” the USDA numbers and question their validity, because of differences in opinion. We all should recognize that job of estimating the size of the United States and world crops is daunting due to the TOM NEHER sheer size of area surveyed. AgStar VP & Team Leader — Grain Industry The report was fundamentally Rochester, Minn. bullish to corn and wheat, yet rather neutral to soybeans. The USDA sees several months of historically tight U.S. corn supplies. While they unexpectedly raised the 2012 corn crop estimate, they offset it by a 7.2-percent increase in projected feed and residual use. The estimate for ending stocks on Aug. 31 is 602 million bushels. This suggests that ethanol plants and livestock feeders will face high corn prices at least until the next U.S. harvest. The report was viewed as neutral for the soybean markets, because there was little change from the pre-report estimates. The USDA did raise the production estimate of the 2012 soybean crop 1 1/2 per-

China back on the scene, like a soy-buying machine NYSTROM, from pg. 1B that’s not saying much since this is only the second week this marketing year that we’ve had sales that exceeded what we need on a weekly basis to achieve the USDA export projection. Export sales were 15.5 million bushels when we need 15.3 million per week to reach the USDA target. Cargill this week announced they would close their Plainview, Texas, beef processing plant due to tight cattle supplies, extending the declining cattle market. Poultry producers are enjoying above-average margins and there is little sign of hog rationing. The overall outlook is that quarterly feed stocks on March 28 will be low again. First quarter feeding was up 13 percent while the USDA is predicting usage to be down 2.2 percent for the year, so more rationing needs to take place. On the ethanol side, Abengoa announced the temporary closure of their Ravenna and York, Neb., plants until margins improve. There is trade chatter about more plants being idled due to poor margins. Weekly ethanol production was down 42,000 barrels per day to 784,000 barrels/day, which is the lowest production figure since records have been kept (June 2010). Ethanol stocks were up to 855 million gallons. Finally, looking at Argentina, they went from too wet to plant to too dry. With 7 percent of their corn acres still to plant, over 50 percent of their early planted crop is nearing pollination and
water would be welcome. Informa Economics increased their 2013-14 corn acreage number by 277,000 acres to 99.303 million acres, which is 2.148 million higher than last year’s acreage. Their production estimate is 14.8 billion bushels versus 10.725 billion this year. OUTLOOK: March corn rocketed 18 3/4 cents higher for the week to close at $7.27 1/2 with December up 13 1/2 cents at $5.90 1/2 per bushel. I’m not reading a lot into the slight setback that we saw late in the week since it’s not unexpected that we’d have some pullback after eight straight higher closes ahead of a holiday weekend. South American weather is back in the picture as a market mover, so monitor those events. How quickly the United States could become the world source for available corn stocks will also be a market driver as will fears that not enough feed rationing is being accomplished. SOYBEANS — China was back on the scene buying beans this week as weekly export sales surged to a marketing year high. As in corn, soybeans gapped higher for the week and pierced upper resistance at $14.44 per bushel (high $14.48 for the week) before consolidating lower. If this level can be decisively surpassed, it opens the door for the $14.70 to $15 area. Support comes in at $14.08 1/2, then $14 per bushel. The concern over dryness in Argentina and
possible rain delays to early harvested soybeans, in addition to export demand, are enough to keep underlying support in the bean market. South America will need a flawless shipping season and it’s hard to remember when that last occurred. Over-the-top export sales this week, to a marketing year high of 59.1 million bushels, brought our total export commitments for the year to 89 percent of the USDA yearly forecast. Sales to China accounted for half of the weekly sales, but the other half was spread out around the world. The USDA announced a sale this week of 240,000 metric tons of new crop soybeans sold to unknown and 120,000 mt old crop beans sold to China. Informa Economics is projecting soybean acres this spring at 78.777 billion acres, down 185,000 acres from their previous estimate and up 1.579 million from last year’s planted acreage. A crop of 3.4 billion bushels is forecast as compared to 2.971 billion in 2012-13. OUTLOOK: Soybeans are advancing in spite of higher production estimates for Brazilian beans from various pri-
vate firms in South America, but caution is also shadowing the market with rain forecasts threatening to delay early bean harvest in Brazil. Brazil has a huge export line-up for February and they will need the early beans to fulfill contracts. Any extended delays could push some purchases back to the United States. March soybeans soared 56 cents higher this week at $14.29 1/4 with ongoing demand, moderate weather concerns in South America, and playing some catch up with wheat and corn. The November bean contract was up 26 cents at $12.92 1/4 per bushel. Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending Jan. 18: Minneapolis wheat gained 28 3/4 cents, Chicago up 36 1/2 cents and Kansas City rose 36 3/4 cents. February crude oil jumped $2 to $95.56, heating oil was 4 1/2 cents higher, gasoline was up 5 3/4 cents and natural gas rebounded 24 cents higher. The U.S. dollar index was up 0.471 points at 80.034.

TEALE, from pg. 1B level which indicates consumer resistance to the higher prices. The volume in the boxed beef trade has also been decreasing over the past few months which also reflects that the consumer is looking at alternatives to their protein needs because of the higher prices for beef in comparison to other meats. Therefore, producers should pay close attention to market conditions and protect inventories when appropriate. Hogs prices have held together relatively well as the new year got under way. The futures have come under some pressure as the premium that was carried at the first of the year was a little excessive considering the fact that the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture report suggested that hog numbers had not decreased as much as the trade had expected. On the other hand, pork product
movement has been good at absorbing the larger supply of hogs. The pork cutout has remained fairly stable, suggesting good domestic and export demand. As long as pork remains a good value in comparison to other meat sources, pork cutouts should remain firm. This should assist in keeping hog prices relatively firm in comparison to cattle and poultry prices. With the advent of higher taxes in the United States, the disposable incomes will be under some pressure which likely will have some effect on all meat prices. Pork, because of their relationship in price to other meat sources, should be able to withstand pressure much better reflecting the better value as a protein source. Producers are urged to maintain an eye on the market conditions and protect inventories when necessary. ❖

community exited the commodity markets. This changed once the drought rally occurred in mid-summer and we saw large investors bring their money back into the grain markets. The market talk of large increases in planted acres this spring has many traders waiting to see what type of weather actually occurs during the growing season. February will be important for grain producers. The average closing price of the December corn and November soybean contracts will establish the “spring price” for the crop revenue insurance program. This will impact many grain marketing plans as it will determine how many bushels can safely be sold pre-harvest. With the new crop futures contacts trading at a considerable discount to the old crop, it may be a wise idea to elect the harvest price as part of one’s revenue coverage this year. This would give you more coverage if we were to experience another drought during the upcoming growing season and the investment community comes back into the commodity markets driving prices higher. That could be a grain angle worth the extra cost. ❖

NEHER, from pg. 1B cent from their December estimate. The estimate for soybean ending stocks is 135 million bushels, which leaves the stocks-to-use ratio tight at 4.4 percent. The global soybean market does have the advantage of a South American crop, which will reach the pipeline this spring, keeping the market’s eyes on South American weather over the next couple of months. Fundamentally, the grain markets are in a bullish scenario, yet we did not see a limit-up move on the day of the USDA report. Over the last several weeks the Commodity Futures Trade Commission commitments of trader’s reports have shown that speculative traders have been taking their money out of the commodity markets. A friend of mine wondered if they had some sort of “Investor Flu.” Whatever it is, their exodus is depressing prices all over. Large speculators have been pulling their money out of the wheat, corn and soybean futures and sitting on the sidelines. If we look back to last year, we saw the same thing happen as the investment
The 1949 legislation would have also increased support prices for other commodities to much higher levels than today’s prices. The farm bill extension will continue dairy payments under the Milk Income Loss Contract program retroactive to Oct. 1, 2012, through Sept. 30, 2013. The MILC program payments were discontinued under the current farm bill after Sept. 30, 2012, which was a major issue to dairy producers who are suffering large financial losses due to the 2012 drought. While dairy producers are glad to have the “safety net” of the MILC program payments restored, many farm organizations and dairy groups are disappointed that a revised dairy support program was not implemented. Both the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House agriculture committee had included the “Dairy Security Act” in the new farm bill, which had the support of most farm organizations and of many dairy producers, as well as bipartisan support in both houses of Congress. The farm bill extension maintains the maximum Conservation Reserve Program acreage at 32 million acres through Sept. 30, 2013; however, the

ized to be funded, meaning that separate funding legislation would be needed to activate these programs in 2013. Given the tight federal budget situation, funding for SURE or other unfunded USDA programs for the coming year may be quite difficult. There were, however, some discretionary funds allocated to assist livestock producers faced with devastating financial losses from the 2012 drought. Implementation of these funds will require authorization. The potential impacts of reverting to required dairy legislation that was passed decades ago was probably the catalyst that pushed Congress to include a farm bill extension in the “fiscal cliff” legislation. Without a new farm bill in place or a farm bill extension, the U.S. dairy support program would have reverted back to “permanent farm legislation,” passed in 1949. This law would have set the milk support price at approximately $38 per hundredweight, more than double the current support price. Some experts estimated that consumer milk prices could increase to as high as $7 to $8 per gallon at the retail level. This potential caused national media attention and lead to many consumer groups calling for Congressional action.

bill extension. Both the U.S. Senate and House versions of the new farm bill would have made some modest reductions in SNAP funding, as well as made some modifications in some of the SNAP delivery models. The total dollars allocated to SNAP account for over 75 percent of total USDA annual funding allocation under a farm bill. The renewable fuels industry got some good news as part of the farm bill extension and the “fiscal cliff” tax package that was passed by Congress. The tax credits for biodiesel and renewable diesel were extended for 2012 and 2013. These credits had been discontinued as of Dec. 31, 2011. The legislation also extended the tax credit of $1.01 per gallon for the production of cellulosic biofuels, including cellulosic ethanol. Tax incentives for wind energy development and other renewable energy production were also extended. Some feel that these tax incentives may help increase investment and profitability for the renewable fuels industry. What’s next for the new farm bill ? Following the recently passed farm bill extension, the current farm bill will now expire on Sept. 30. The new Congress is now in session, and some Congressional leaders are hoping to put the passage of a new farm bill back on the “front burner.” Following the 2012 election, there were few changes in the overall political makeup of Congress, with the U.S. Senate remaining under the control of Democrats, and the U.S. House continuing to be controlled by the Republicans. The overall leadership in both houses of Congress, as well as the leadership on the respective agriculture committees, will have only minimal changes in 2013. It is likely that the versions of the new farm bill passed by the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House ag committee in 2012 will serve as a starting point for farm bill discussions by Congress in 2013. There will likely be strong pushes by certain groups to add or delete certain provisions of the previous farm bill proposals. The continuing federal budget deficit challenges are also likely to impact the future farm bill discussions. ‘Fiscal cliff’ tax package impacts for farmers Most farmers were pleased with the tax package that was included as part of the “fiscal cliff” legislation that was passed by Congress and signed by President Obama.

brackets of 25 percent, 28 percent and 33 percent on individuals with taxable income levels of $400,000 or less, and joint tax filers with income levels of $450,000 or less. Tax rates were increased to 39.6 percent for tax filers above those income levels. • Similarly, tax rates for capital gains were maintained at 15 percent for taxpayers below the income levels of $400,000 per individual and $450,000 for joint tax filers, and increased to 20 percent for taxpayers above those income amounts. • Permanently fixes the alternative minimum tax by implementing inflation adjusted exemption amounts. The AMT tax is a major factor for taxpayers with taxable income levels of $50,000 to $200,000 per year, including a large number of farm families. It was estimated that without the AMT fix, many of these middle income taxpayers would have seen annual tax increases of $2,000 to $12,000 per year. • Permanently maintains the current federal exemption for estate and gift taxes at $5 million per individual and $10 million for a married couple. The estate tax exemption will be indexed for inflation after 2011, which means that the 2012 exemption rate will actually be $5.12 million and the 2013 exemption rate will be increased to $5.25 million per individual. The estate tax rate was increased from the current level of 35 percent to a new tax rate of 40 percent for estate values above those levels. Without the legislation, the estate tax exemption would have dropped to $1 million per individual, and the estate tax rate would have increased to 55 percent, which would have impacted large numbers of farm families going through the farm transition process. • The 50 percent “bonus depreciation” was extended through the 2013 tax year, which allows businesses to deduct 50 percent of the purchase cost of qualifying assets in the first tax year, including farm machinery and facilities. This means that a farmer with a $250,000 investment can take a depreciation deduction of $125,000 in the first year. The bonus depreciation was scheduled to be eliminated for the 2013 tax year. • Increased the Section 179 depreciation allowance to a maximum of $500,000 for the 2012 and 2013 tax years. This amount was scheduled to drop to $139,000 for 2012 and $25,000 for 2013.
