To the Editor: We often think of our legacy as related to our farm’s financial success. Our legacy will show how we were able to weather hard times — floods, droughts, hot weather, cool weather, low prices, pests, weeds, the farming crisis of the ’80s, changes in production methods and other enormous challenges.

Our legacy will show that not only did our farm survive, it prospered. Maybe it even grew in number of acres or livestock.

These are all important parts of our legacies.

But, what is our legacy in relation to our community? What is our legacy in relation to all of those pieces of our community that make it the place we love, and make it what it is?

What is the legacy we leave for those who wish to move to or live in our area? What is the legacy we want to leave for the next generation of farmers?

We all want the next generation of farmers to succeed, just as the generations previous to us wanted us to succeed. Are we leaving them with the opportunity to do so? Can anyone who wants to farm have that opportunity? Shouldn’t someone who wants to farm have that opportunity?

I was able to farm for two simple reasons. Reason No. 1 — my family supported me. However, my parents did not farm enough land to support two families. The other reason I was able to farm was because of two landowners.

Both valued helping a young farmer as much as they valued “top dollar.” In return, I have treated their land with the care and respect I would as if I owned it. Because of this, and because I raise crops for specialty markets, they have both been rewarded financially as well.

As land ownership changes hands, are our values being accurately and honestly reflected? When you see land changing hands, does it show to others what we truly value?

Without creative transition solutions, where will the next generation of farmers worship, shop and send their kids to school? Will they be able to farm at all?

What are some ways we can show our values and ensure our legacy — not just financially, but also in other ways — when we transition our farm to the next generation?

This question can be quite hard to answer.

However, there is a large and continually growing number of examples of creative ways that retiring farmers have found to transition their land to new farmers. There are all sorts of different examples that have allowed retiring farmers to ensure that their farm’s financial, family and community legacy is preserved for the next generation.

I know, without a doubt, that if we look hard enough, we can all find ways to ensure our legacies in a way that truly reflects our values.

Letter: What will be your farm’s community legacy?

Another tango, another delay in the farm bill debate For all last year’s talk about completing a farm bill before this year’s spring planting, the operative message from Congress to farmers now appears to be “Take two aspirins and we’ll call you in June.”

The first part of the message, take two aspirins, is good advice for anyone attempting to sort out today’s federal budget process and what it likely means for any farm bill.

Here’s how one of Capitol Hill’s keenest ag eyes, Ferd Hoefner, policy director of the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition, described the upcoming Congressional budget round-robin in a January blog post — http://bit.ly/UveJUe — after House Republican leaders announced their plan to raise the federal debt ceiling through mid-May: “If the new plan succeeds” — it has: the White House and Senate Democrats agreed to it after

OPINION

House leaders had to gulp, though, when Senate Democrats and the White House quickly agreed to the debt extension deal.

They agreed because they knew that not even the tiniest element of the GOP’s big plans would survive a full House vote without Democratic votes.

As such, they, not GOP bosses, hold the key to any final deal.

What that means is that rather than work out any debt-budget-entitlement reform package — and, possibly, a farm bill, too — this month, Congress will waste another three months dancing around “manufactured crisis after manufactured crisis.”

And that carries the very real possibility of no 2013 farm bill in July, but another 2008 farm bill extension in September.

GUEBERT, from pg. 4 You had better be because, if House Republican leaders are to be taken at their word, that’s the way they see this three-step, three-month battle ending.

Moreover, to make certain they have your attention, House GOP leaders also announced they would approve a 10-year balanced budget bill.

If that, too, is to be taken seriously, that means other tough nuts — like Social Security reform, Medicare cuts, the Pentagon budget, more farm program spending — will be on the butcher block even as Congress fights it out in current budget and debt limit talks.

One thing that won’t be cut in these knife fights is crop insurance. It somehow (no one remembers exactly how) received White House protection in the August 2011 budget deal.

Direct payment schemes and conservation programs, however, would likely get sliced $4 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively, in a new 10-year farm bill.

Cover story

Commercial fishing a cooperative effort for Minnesota family

By TIM KING The Land Correspondent Being a member of a cooperative gave Roger Pietron and his family an opportunity to get a better price for the high-quality wild Alaska salmon they catch each summer.

The Pietron family, who spend most of the year near Little Falls, in Morrison County, Minn., are co-founders of Ugashik Bay Salmon cooperative. The cooperative is made up of a number of families who fish in Bristol Bay on the north side of the Alaska Peninsula.

Ugashik Bay is a bay within the larger Bristol Bay. Both are part of the Bering Sea. The 42-mile long Ugashik River empties out of the tundra and into Bristol Bay at Ugashik Bay. Roger said Ugashik Bay is a delta formed by the Ugashik and two other rivers.

The sea, bay and river bring the

Pietron family to fish camp each June and July to capture the sockeye salmon as the fish return to the Ugashik, and other rivers, to spawn. Pietron describes the fish that come out of the Bering’s cold depths as crowding around a river’s mouth to smell it. They want to find their birth river and go upstream, he said. Most years two to three million salmon make a run on the Ugashik and its spawning grounds.

On very good years up to five million fish will be in the spawning run.

“Game and Fish (the Alaska Department of Fish and Game) monitor it very carefully,” he said.

To sustain the fishery, the state’s biologists monitor what is called the escapement. Those are the fish that aren’t caught and that reach the river. Salmon lay enough eggs so that only about a third of the run needs to reach the

spawning grounds in the lake at the end of the river. The biologists and their assistants actually are on the river monitoring the escapement while the Pietrons, and others, are out in the bay fishing. At times, during the season, fishermen are told to pull in their nets to let more fish through. Pietron said the annual escapement ranges between 500,000 to 1.2 million fish.

“Game and Fish announce the fishing hours for the day on the public radio,” Pietron said. “The notice of the opening can be as short as a few hours. The average opening is about eight hours and then you have to pull your nets in and get off the water.

Then you go back in the next day or you may have to wait a couple days.”

Fishing and weather are variable while the fishermen are on the water.

Sometimes the fish run heavy, in large schools. As the crew pulls in the 300-foot long nets they remove salmon, and the occasional flounder, from them. The fish are put into heavy waterproof bags filled with ice and seawater. The bags are in the bottom of the open 24-foot long boats.

“They come out of the water at a little

over 50 degrees,” Pietron said. “We get them down below 40 as soon as possible.”

When the boats fill with fish they are loaded onto the ships that transport them to processors. These transport ships, known as tenders, are often crabbing ships being put to use in their off-season.

These tenders can hold well over 100,000 of pounds of fish.

“Once you have a few thousand pounds in your boat you have to deliver the fish to the tender or directly to the processing ship,” Pietron said. “They have cranes to take your fish. They weigh them and take their temperature. Then the fish are placed in refrigerated water.

If the weather is rough it can be pretty exciting to get your fish onto the tender or processor. You have to be careful and you have to keep track of things.”

Weather on the bay can be calm but it is also violent and often unpredictable. The Pietrons will quit fishing when wind speeds hit 45 miles an hour. Although they may be only a thousand feet off shore, quitting fishing for the day is no simple matter.

Cape Greig. Cape Greig is also a cape in Bristol Bay. “They have a crew of up to 70 people,” Pietron said. “They clean the fish and freeze them quickly. Then the frozen fish are transported to Seattle by freezer ship. Processing them so close to where they were caught maintains their high quality.”

coals bunched on one side of the grill.

Sprinkle the coals with wood chips. Once the grate has been over the hot coals for a couple of minutes, aggressively clean the hot portion with a steel brush. Spin the grate around and do the same thing with the other side of the grate.

Take a wad of paper towel and drizzle olive oil on it. Wipe down both sides of the grate. Be careful, obviously the hot side will be very hot.

The oil will help prevent the fish from sticking.

Place the salmon skin-side down on the cool side of the grill. Place the lid on the grill and allow to cook for 10 minutes or so. After 10 minutes, move the salmon (with a high-quality spatula) to the hot end of the grill, flesh side down. If flaming starts, place lid on grill. This will add color and texture to the salmon. The key is to handle the fish as little as possible until it is done. This final stage will take no more than five minutes.

Bring it inside and enjoy.

Take two pounds of a boneless salmon fillet (with the skin preferably) and slice into serving sizes. Lightly salt and pepper the fillets. Take a tablespoon or so of pesto and smear it directly on the flesh side of the salmon.

salmon is sold through the cooperative’s marketing arrangement with Cape Greig LLC, Pietron brings some back to Minnesota to market. The salmon, as well as Alaska cod, is available through a number of cooperative markets. Among them are numerous Twin Cities food co-ops and the Rochester, Brainerd and Bemidji food co-ops. He also sells through Whole Farm Cooperative in Long Prairie.

Salmon from Bristol Bay comes from the pure clean waters of the Bering Sea and is both nutritious and delicious. The Bristol Bay commercial salmon fishery dates back to the late19th century and the Pietron family is proud to be part of that history.

With continued careful management they will be able to bring Whole Farm Cooperative customers wild-caught Bristol Bay salmon for years to come.

In fact, sustainable management of Alaska’s fisheries is actually part of the state’s constitution. Alaskans take that constitutional provision seriously and are recognized worldwide for their sustainable fisheries practices. As part of the top-to-bottom system of sustainable management the salmon and cod from the Pietron family and their cooperative are certified sustainable by a third-party certifier.

SALMON, from pg. 6 Extremely high tides, commonly varying 20 feet between high and low tide, can make approaching shore difficult or impossible. A boat and its crew can get trapped in the water, with winds occasionally as intense as 80 miles per hour.

“It’s not like central Minnesota,” Pietron said. “It’s often overcast and you can’t see the weather coming. It can switch in just a few minutes. When that weather does come you have to pull your nets in. That can take an hour and a half. Then you have to deliver your fish to the tender or processing ship. They are usually a couple of miles away in deep water.”

It is difficult and demanding work, but two generations of Pietrons have been fishing Bristol Bay for three decades. In the early years their primary salmon market were the canneries. Pietron was never quite happy with that arrangement.

“We were catching these beautiful premium quality fish and sending them to canneries,” he said. “Going with the co-op allowed us to maintain top quality and to sell a premium filleted product.”

In 2010, the Pietrons formed their cooperative with nine other fishing families. Ugashik Bay Salmon cooperative then entered into a joint venture with Seattle-based seafood processors to form Cape Greig LLC. One result of the collaboration was the purchase of a 190-foot 1,134-ton floating processing ship. The group renamed the ship the

THE LAND, FEBRUARY 8, 2013

By CAROLYN VAN LOH The Land Correspondent People driving through the countryside of rural Minnesota have probably seen a colorful billboard proclaiming “Minnesota Farmers Care.”

Ken Floren of Litchfield, Minn., likens those billboards to “preaching to the choir” because most of the people traveling state and county roads realize that Minnesota farmers are good stewards of their land and take good care of their animals.

Floren worked full time in the metropolitan area until he retired. “I was a weekend farmer with my dad,” he said. “When I retired at 65 years of age, I began farming full time.” He also joined the Meeker County Farm Bureau and serves as the county’s promotion and education chairman.

Early in 2012 his county Farm Bureau board was discussing ways to promote agriculture by “preaching to the audience.” While working in the

NPPC’s Dierks: U.S. pork industry still globally competitive Swine producers’ profits currently squeezed, but export opportunities look to improve

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Even though economic struggles continue around the globe, the U.S. pork industry will still be a major competitor in world meat production.

“We’re as competitive as hog produc-

ers anywhere in the world,” according to Neil Dierks, CEO of the National Pork Producers Council.

Crumbling live markets and higher feed costs have squeezed profits totally out of the picture for many swine producers, however. Last season’s drought only

Issue of water When questioned about the issue of water quality and water usage, Frederickson said that water is likely to be a contentious issue if/when new bills are introduced this session. Water was a focal point at the recent Minnesota Organic Conference, with noted University of Minnesota Extension climatologist Mark Seeley pointing out that organic growers today are operating in a climate disparity totally different than their predecessors.

Frederickson suggested it’s going to be a challenge to identify quantitatively the culprits involved in water quality issues. “But that doesn’t mean we won’t have those discussions,” he said. “The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is engaged in a Minnesota Ag Water Quality Certification program. This cuts

across all participants pulling together so that we don’t see regulations come down hard on farmers.

“This is going to be a voluntary program asking that producers step up and collectively work with MDA. We will make every effort to meet the challenge and in the process assure water quality for all Minnesotans.

But for that certainty let’s focus on BMPs (best management practices) that will be good not only for this season but for future generations.”

Commish hopeful free markets, rising tide ‘will lift all boats’ FREDERICKSON, from pg. 11 across the nation. Each of the states has programs in organic farming but it’s the nature of Minnesota to be leading in organic agriculture.

So how big is organic farming in Minnesota? Doug Hartwig, Minnesota Agricultural Statistics director, said that according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service the state had 543 farms (133,393 acres) certified for organic production in 2011. Nationwide USDA data shows 12,941 organic farms. California leads the pack with 2,887 farms; second is Wisconsin with 1,016 certified organic farms.

“There’s been a lot of new wealth created in rural Minnesota and you know that when farmers have ‘new money’

in their pockets, it generally gets spent. But we also recognize with caution what’s going on with land values, with input costs and the increasing complexities of farmland transition from one generation to the next.”

As the MDA chief he’s concerned about the economic imbalance currently between crop farmers and the livestock industry. He’s of the “old school” that free markets determine where we should be, so he’s hopeful that “the rising tide will lift all boats” — meaning livestock prices will go up.

He said that 25 years ago farmers were being criticized for complaining about farm income. But that’s when some farmers with vision and leadership decided that an ethanol industry was one way to prop up the corn industry. Minnesota rapidly became the focus of the value-added cooperative movement across America.

Increased exports Frederickson also credits a strong and growing export market for Minnesota agricultural products. Today nearly half of all Minnesota soybeans get sold overseas; with pork it’s now about 27 percent to foreign markets. He speaks of the three-legged stool of Minnesota agriculture: ethanol, exports and livestock. He’s visiting Taiwan soon, hoping to make the country more aware of Minnesota agricultural and food products.

“This small country imports 90 percent of their food needs. They have a thriving economy. They are a bright star in this growing Southeast Asia economy. So we’re hoping they’ll come to Minnesota and make a major announcement about purchasing Minnesota commodities, be that cereal grains, soybeans, pork or beef products.”

Big business Frederickson pointed out that besides the state’s 81,000 farms, Minnesota has nearly 1,000 agricultural and food companies and the state has several privately held firms with an agricultural focus on Forbes’ list of America’s largest private companies.

Frederickson was interviewed at the Jan. 11-12 Minnesota Organic Conference in St. Cloud. ❖

Grazing gaining as DNR opens land for livestock ■ What Caraway said is exactly what’s happening.

These mentors are donating their time but are willing to discuss grazing and forage management; fencing; livestock watering systems; livestock movement; objective/goal setting; and economics and record keeping. U.S. Department of Agriculture data indicates about 2.5 million acres of Minnesota crop land is grazing land.

fenced and into cattle grazing production. Rentals vary considerably but $30 to $60 per acre would likely capture most.

Q: How does DNR qualify persons for “usage” of their land?

Caraway: DNR doesn’t want anyone using the land that sets the land backwards. They want users who can increase the production of this land. We’ve taken DNR land and established paddocks, both grazed and ungrazed paddocks, side by side, and then set up motion cameras. What did the camera show us? The wildlife followed the livestock. The deer, the rabbits, the fowl followed the livestock.

There was no wildlife in those paddocks that weren’t grazed.

Q: And why is this happening?

Caraway: Because the vegetation in the nongrazed paddocks had no feed value. You’re talking weeds, buck brush and rough vegetation that just didn’t interest wildlife. Put cattle or sheep on these grounds and the “junk vegetation” disappears and you soon start having productive soils growing goodtasting forages.

Q: So why doesn’t DNR make more land available for grazing?

Caraway: They are but it moves slowly. It’s easy to be overly protective but in the process ignore the real benefits. It’s somewhat true, too, that DNR has so much land that they can’t monitor it properly. We’re making progress. We need to pool our collective knowledge and work together.

THE LAND, FEBRUARY 8, 2013

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer With nearly 20 percent of Minnesota’s landscape now owned by the state’s Department of Natural Resources, it seems somewhat logical that cattlemen — who are getting squeezed for pasture land, because growing corn generates more bucks — should have greater access to DNR land for summer grazing.

The Grazing Lands Conservation Association had a booth at the recent Minnesota Organic Conference in St. Cloud. The Land talked with GLCA president Clarence Caraway.

Q: Is the DNR still acquiring land?

Caraway: Yes, as farmers get older and decide to discontinue farming, turning land to DNR for conversion to “native prairie” is pretty appealing. And DNR pays pretty well.

Q: Any problems with this trend?

Caraway: Yes, we don’t have native buffalos roaming the prairie anymore. You need livestock on this land to keep it healthy. I’m talking keeping the soil active, growing and even helpful for the deer.

Q: How does that work?

Caraway: Every time a hoofed animal steps it makes an impression in that soil. And that’s not compaction. That’s bringing light and oxygen to a deeper part of the soil; not just the surface. This “churning up” of the soil puts life into the soil. You’ve created an atmosphere for the microbiological “bugs” in the soil to work better and that in turn increases the vegetative growth. In essence, you’re increasing the productivity of the soil.

Q: So how many acres have DNR now permitted to livestock producers for grazing? What’s the charge?

Caraway: It varies from area to area. There’s no set policy nor is there a set rental rate. But I do know that Mark Hayek, the Natural Resources Conservation Service grazing specialist at Thief River Falls, Minn., has about 15,000 acres of DNR land now

Cattle market erratic lately

Keep corn-on-corn yield drag in mind

The following market analysis is for the week ending Feb. 1.

CORN — Corn clicked higher four straight days before seeing a little profit-taking heading into the weekend.

March corn broke through the short term $7.35 resistance midweek as rain forecasts for Argentina and southern Brazil were curtailed. The perception that the corn crop in South America may still be shrinking and the on-going increase in open interest in a rising market were contributors to the rally.

PHYLLIS NYSTROM Informa Economics this week CHS Hedging Inc. pegged Brazilian corn production St. Paul at 70.3 million metric tons, an increase of 4.1 mmt from their previous report and versus the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 71 mmt. For Argentina, they are expecting a 25 mmt crop, a decrease of 2 mmt from their last number and compared to the USDA’s 28 mmt forecast. Argentina’s corn harvest is projected to be 5 percent complete by March 1.

Although the Environmental Protection Agency was supposed to release the 2013 Renewable Fuels Standard mandate back in November, they finally got around to it this week. They have opened a 45-day comment period on the new proposed volumes which included total renewable fuels at 16.55 billion gallons (15.22 billion last year), 2.75 billion gallons of advanced biofuels, biomass-based diesel of 1.28 billion and cellulosic biofuels at 14 million gallons. Conventional biofuel, usually ethanol made from corn, would be mandated at 13.8 billion gallons.

It has been a rocky and erratic January in the livestock trade.

Both cattle and hog markets have had their ups and downs in price movement. As February approaches, both of these markets will continue to see a lot of volatility and price movement in both directions.

The cattle market has been particularly erratic as of late. After a fairly quick and large decline in prices, the market now appears to be stabilizing. A drop in beef cutouts plus the closing of a beef packing plant in Plainview, Texas, precipitated the rapid JOE TEALE decline in prices on both the Broker futures and cash.

Great Plains Commodity However, on Jan. 25, the U.S. Afton, Minn.

Department of Agriculture released a monthly Cattle-onFeed Report which indicated the following as of Jan. 1: on-feed, 94 percent; placed during December, 99 percent; marketed in December, 98 percent. This report was seen as friendly as placements were below pre-report guesses, while the marketed number was above expectations.

The cash and futures had already begun to recover from the recent sell-off before the report, but this will add to the bullish sentiment. With the beef cutouts now below $190 per hundredweight, the question will become will demand resurface and eventually push prices higher. For the short term this is entirely possible. However with the advent of the increase of additional taxes and the decline of disposable income, the consumer will be squeezed making less

The winter weather this year has been atypical for Minnesota.

The lack of significant snowfall for much of the state has left many fields uncovered and subject to the harsh winds. More concerning is the dry conditions that exist in many of the growing areas of the state.

Informa, a private research firm, is forecasting that U.S. farmers will plant 99.303 million acres of corn this spring. Additionally, they are forecasting that 78.777 million acres of soybeans will be planted. We expect that the 76 million acres that were in TOM NEHER soybeans last year will be planted AgStar VP & Team to corn. This leaves 23 million Leader — Grain Industry acres that will have to be taken Rochester, Minn. from other crops or planted as corn-on-corn.

These continuous crop corn acres could be subject to a yield drag of 10 to 15 bushels per acre. So if one is normally growing 185 bu./acre corn, they could be looking at a yield of 175 to 170 bu./acre yields. This yield drag at current new crop prices would reduce revenue by $60 to $90/acre.

The cost of production would also be higher on these acres as they would require more tillage, fertilizer and root worm protection. These extra costs could run from $60 to $90/acre more than the traditional corn-soybean rotation. As margin management calculations are prepared, it’s important to account for these extra costs along with the lower revenue.

Bean rally directed by concern over Argentine crop NYSTROM, from pg. 15 Weekly ethanol production once again set a record low at 770,000 barrels per day, down 22,000 from a week ago. Thanks to declining production, implied ethanol margins were a dime in the black this week, the highest level since September.

Weekly corn sales held no surprises at 7.4 million bushels or 187,000 mt when we need almost 16 million bushels per week to achieve the USDA forecast.We have only sold the average needed three out of 21 weeks of this marketing year. New crop sales were 2.6 million bushels. Corn continues to be a domestic-oriented market with exports less than half of last year at this point in the marketing year. The USDA is projecting yearly exports to be down 38 percent at 950 million bushels.

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group announced this week that trading hours on the Chicago Board of Trade will be shortened in response to complaints the longer hours diluted the volume and made the market subject to higher volatility. They also suggested they are open to halting trade around USDA reports, if all exchanges would follow suit. The IntercontintentalExchange has stated they have no desire to do so.

A little bit of history for new crop: December corn has traded higher than its January high in 19 out of the last 20 years. December’s high in January this year was $5.95 per bushel.

OUTLOOK: Corn added more South American weather premium into the market as it moved into a higher bracket this week with March corn settling at

$7.36, up 15 1/4 cents for the week after hitting a new high for the move at $7.46 1/4; December corn was up 8 1/4 cents at $5.92 1/2 per bushel. The $7.35 resistance now becomes support with $7.65/$7.67 the next upside target area.

For the month of January, corn was up 6.2 percent of value. Bottom line — South American weather, technical strength and increasing open interest as new buyers enter the market are factors to keep an eye on any signals the uptrend is being threatened.

If corn begins to falter, a revisit to the low $7.20s wouldn’t be out of line.

SOYBEANS — The soybean rally this week was directed by continuing concern over the size of Argentina’s soybean crop.

Amounts and coverage during the last week of February were disappointing. It seems like every time we get to the time frame for rain, it moves farther out, like the carrot in front of the horse.

March soybeans closed at $14.74 1/4, a gain of 33 1/4 cents for the week; November beans were up 29 1/2 cents at $13.32 1/2 per bushel. In January, March soybeans were up 3.5 percent of value.

China continued to buy new crop U.S. soybeans, purchasing 615,000 mt this week. Weekly export sales were 14.2 million bushels or 386,000 mt for old crop and 31.8 million bushels for new crop. Next week’s new crop sales should also be impressive based on China’s purchases this past week.

We now have sold 91 percent of what the USDA says we will ship this year and only need to sell 6.2 million per week to hit the USDA target. Total bean sales are up 27 percent over last year versus the USDA’s forecast that exports will be down 1 percent year on year.

Brazil’s bean crop was estimated by Informa Economics at 84 mmt, up 1.1 mmt from their previous projection and versus the USDA’s estimate of 82.5 mmt.

Brazil’s harvest has begun in a few regions of the country (3 percent complete by Jan. 25 this year versus 4 percent normally complete by Feb. 1), but most areas are in the pod setting and pod-filling stage.

Chatter about damage caused by too much rain in northern Brazil surfaced during the week, but thus far hasn’t been widespread. They cut Argentina’s production by 3.9 mmt to 54.5 mmt when the USDA is forecasting 54 mmt. Argentina’s harvest usually starts in early March with 15 percent harvested by April 1.

Logistics in Brazil are already commanding a lengthy wait time for loading.There were 126 vessels waiting to be loaded with either corn or soybeans, when only 72 were waiting last year at this time and 47 were in line two years ago.There is the possibility that the situation could extend the time frame for U.S. bean export sales since the wait time to load in Brazil is already 35 days at the Port of Santos, the country’s biggest port. Harvest-delaying rain in northern Brazil may increase logistical problems.

OUTLOOK: South American weather conditions will be closely watched for direction, as well as when/if export demand begins to taper off. We need a seamless transition to the South American shipping season and no further concerns with their production since the United States has an extremely tight carryout situation. This scenario suggests setbacks will be well supported.

Short-term support in March soybeans is $14.44, then $14.08 3/4; resistance is $15.01 1/4, then $15.45 per bushel; the uptrend is intact.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending Feb. 1: Minneapolis wheat fell 13 1/4 cents, Chicago wheat dropped 11 1/2 cents and Kansas City wheat was down 6 1/4 cents. March crude oil rose $1.89 to $97.77, heating oil was up over 11 cents, gasoline jumped 16 1/4 cents higher, and natural gas fell 19 1/2 cents. The U.S. dollar was down 0.621 for the week at 79.127.

Hogs driven by renewed demand for pork product Hog prices have been improving overall since the low made in September. The hogs appear to be driven by a renewed demand for pork products, and packers have been fairly aggressive in bidding for live inventory over the past few months.

Pork cutouts have been stable to rising and the volume in pork product has been extremely good reflecting in the stronger prices since September.

tial for another dry growing season, it’s important to consider the drought tolerance of corn and soybeans. Would the yield drag be significantly larger on corn-on-corn acres in dry growing conditions, than it would be with corn grown in the corn-soybean rotation?

The answer is a resounding “yes.” The yield drag would be significantly larger on corn grown continuously, year-toyear in a drought.

higher cost of production into my calculator the advantage to corn starts to slip away on these corn-on-corn acres.

This is the case even before I try to factor in the additional yield drag in dry growing conditions.

So the question begs to be asked: will U.S. farmers really plant 99.303 million acres of corn? If they make their planting decisions by the numbers, the answer may be no. Yet many make planting decisions by what they like to grow and what worked last year. Farmers like to grow corn and they made a bundle of money growing it last year.

Crop insurance also provides a sense of security in growing corn. Only time will tell. ❖

Hog numbers seem to have declined during this period and with the cold weather this has combined to reduce the available numbers ready for market.

Producers should take heed in the fact that inventories of cattle are on the decline, but at the same time demand for beef is also on the decline. Therefore, price protection should not be overlooked when opportunity presents itself.

IDFA’s Tipton: Dairy industry ‘on verge of new era’ farmers beginning about Feb. 5.

■ Back on the national scene, “U.S. milk production in 2012 was marked by distinct growth and contraction periods and regional differences,” said Daily Dairy Report editor Mary Ledman. Ledman wrote about it in her Jan. 25 issue and reported details on her website’s Daily Dairy Discussion.

She said DDR analysts used national and state income-over-feed calculations to “shed light on the trends seen this past year and what may come in 2013.”

She pointed to the income-over-feed calculation, based on the USDA’s milk-feed price ratio, subtracting the per hundredweight value of a feed ration that consists of 51 percent corn, 41 percent alfalfa and 8 percent soybeans

MARKETING

from the All Milk Price. Based on USDA’s Agricultural Prices, which reflect prices received by farmers for corn, soybeans, and alfalfa; Second Quarter 2012 was the lowest income-over-feed period of the year at $4.47/cwt., followed by Third Quarter at $5.44.

Correspondingly, the greatest contraction in the U.S. dairy herd occurred between March and September when cow numbers fell 71,000. In retrospect, Fourth Quarter 2012 provided the most favorable income-over-feed level at $8.90/cwt., with each of the surveyed states also having their best showing.

MIELKE, from pg. 18 December but 5.5 percent higher than January 2012.

The January all milk price of $20/cwt. was down 90 cents from last month but $1 higher than a year ago.

The corn price, at $6.98 per bushel, was 11 cents higher than last month and 91 cents above a year ago.

The all hay price, at $191 per ton, was down $1 from December but $19 higher than last January.

Cooperatives Working Together accepted 30 requests for export assistance this week to sell 7.6 million pounds of cheese, 1.2 million pounds of butter and 44,092 pounds of whole milk powder to customers in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and Oceania. The product will be delivered through June and put CWT’s year-to-date cheese exports at 14.6 million pounds, 9.8 million pounds of butter and 88,185 pounds of whole milk powder.

■ In dairy politics, dairy processors met in Orlando this week for their 28th annual Dairy Forum. Connie Tipton, president and CEO of the International Dairy Foods Association, said the dairy industry “stands on the verge of a new era filled with enormous opportunity and unlimited potential.” Saying that future success hinges on all stakeholders taking steps together, Tipton called for industry collaboration on renewed efforts to phase out federal milk pricing regulations and new legislation that would change the federal standards of identity for dairy products.

She warned that changes in administration policy are unlikely and told attendees to expect more regulations for the food industry, more rules for school meals, more labeling requirements and possibly restrictions on marketing to children.

Tipton called innovation the industry’s “lifeblood” and warned that, for innovation and growth to continue, the industry needs an abundant supply of farm milk. She warned, however, that the combination of volatile dairy feed costs, farm milk prices, the U.S. biofuel policy and a major drought have caused a “quadruple whammy. ... Going forward, one thing is for sure. The conventional thinking that milk will always be there when we want it has to change.”

Another area requiring change, Tipton said, is government regulations that “continue to hinder industry’s efforts to innovate and grow.” She charged that “federal milk pricing regulations, food standards and other laws, some of which date back to the 1930s, have not kept pace with the times.” She proposed “working together as an industry to provide greater product flexibility and innovation and collaborating on ways to remove ‘the shackles’ of milk pricing regulation.”

■ Dairy Business Update’s Dave Natzke reported in his Feb. 1 DairyLine report that the USDA’s Farm Service Agency announced additional details regarding the so-called “start month relief period” for larger dairy producers. He said that those producers, as well as any new dairy farmers who wish to enroll in the Milk Income Loss Contract, should contact their local FSA office before Feb. 28 to do the appropriate paperwork. The FSA also announced that retroactive MILC payments for September 2012 milk marketings, at approximately 59 cents/cwt., will be sent to dairy

Recipes that will make you want to eat your veggies Cookbook Corner

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent Quick question: Who among us should really eat more vegetables?

Answer: Probably all of us. Even many vegetarians don’t eat enough vegetables. (After all, most junk food is meatless.) It’s not that hard to do, but somehow we just don’t.

With those two facts in mind — we should eat more veggies, but don’t — a new cookbook, “Eat Your Vegetables”

by Arthur Potts Dawson (Octopus Books), proposes to help us out by presenting simple, interesting and inspiring vegetable dishes we can all relate to. Most everything that comes out of the ground turns into comfort food in

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

WOUNDED, from pg. 23 Indeed, in spite of his wounds which included the loss of both legs and a severely damaged right hand, the avid hunter has participated in several hunts through Wounded Warriors and similar organizations, including a trip out west where he bagged a six-by-six bull elk.

But he said the Wounded Warriors Guide Service has offered some practical advantages, as well.

“I met a guy through Wounded Warriors whose left hand was damaged,” he said. “Now when I buy gloves, I send him my right hands, he sends me his lefts.”

The East Coast hunt came about through connections that Mankato Chapter President Luke Weinandt made with local guides while visiting relatives about a year ago.

Now, after getting the groundwork completed to hold the inaugural hunt, plans are to make the adventure an annual event that can be offered to other area wounded veterans through the local Wounded Warriors chapter.

Since it’s not just the veterans themselves who feel the effects of combat injuries, he said that in the future, the group has plans for outdoor events to bring families together as well.

6 tablespoons salted capers, soaked in cold water for 10 minutes, drained and squeezed dry 4 ounces Parmesan cheese shavings Preheat the oven to 375 F. For the dressing, put all the ingredients except the olive oil into a blender and blend until you have a smooth paste. With the motor still running, drizzle in the oil, not too much to start with, but adding it more rapidly as the mixture thickens. Check for seasoning and set aside.

Put the chicken breasts in a roasting pan, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Roast for 25 minutes. Cut the bread into 3/4-inch chunks, spread out on a baking sheet, and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 6-8 minutes until golden brown, turning once or twice during cooking, then allow to cool. Shell the eggs and cut into quarters.

Separate the lettuce leaves, trim, then wash and dry in a salad spinner. Place in large bowl. Cut the chicken into large chunks and put into lettuce bowl.

Add the baguette croutons, capers and eggs. Pour in most of the dressing and delicately mix together.

Plate the salad, sprinkle with the Parmesan shavings and drizzle with the last of the dressing.

season with salt and pepper, and mix together well.

Sprinkle in half the capers, pomegranate seeds and pine nuts and mix again, taking care not to crush the pomegranate seeds. Divide the kohl slaw between serving dishes, then sprinkle with the remaining capers, seeds and nuts.

■ Dawson’s Caesar Salad takes you into the process of making authentic Caesar salad dressing, which involves little canned fishes called anchovies that you probably think you hate but you really don’t, especially when they’re mixed with all sorts of other delicious things. The anchovies are what gives Caesar dressing its signature tang, so just get a can and give them a shot. They are extremely salty, so if you testtaste one, be prepared.

Chicken Caesar Salad Dressing 4 anchovy fillets 3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese 2 egg yolks 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 garlic clove Juice of 1 lemon 3/4 cup olive oil Salt and pepper Salad 2 chicken breasts Olive oil, for drizzling 1 French baguette 3 hard-boiled eggs 2 heads of Romaine lettuce

COOKBOOK, from p. 24 leaves in cold water. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil and season with salt. Drain the kale, add to the pan, and cook for 6 minutes. Drain again and keep warm. Heat the olive oil in a skillet, add the chili and garlic, and fry gently for about 3 minutes, until the garlic begins to brown. Immediately put the cooked kale into the pan and stir well. Season lightly with pepper and the soy sauce, and cook for 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Serve warm.

■ The idea behind Kohl Slaw (which is just like regular cole slaw but calls for kohlrabi instead of cabbage as the main ingredient) is to mix up a three-vegetable-and-mayo slaw, then add whatever accouterments you like. In this case, the author added his favorites: capers, pomegranate seeds and pine nuts.

Use whatever combination of salty, sour, sweet and nutty you desire.

Kohl Slaw 14 ounces kohlrabi 7 ounces carrots 7 ounces white cabbage 6 tablespoons mayonnaise 2 tablespoons capers in vinegar, drained 4 tablespoons pomegranate seeds 2 tablespoons pine nuts Salt and pepper Slice the kohlrabi and carrots into very thin matchsticks. Slice the cabbage very thinly, too. Put all the vegetables into a mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise,

Confidential: NFL coaching is a tough career choice After Super Bowl Sunday, your weekends are suddenly wide open and empty.

No more extra televisions in the living room. No more Sunday snack-binging. You’ve put away your make-up, your lucky shirts and the hats that no team can win without. It’s enough to make a grown (wo)man cry.

Yes, football season is over for you. But for 32 men, the end of one season signals the beginnings of another — that is, if they still have jobs. In the new book “Coaching Confidential” by Gary Myers, you’ll read about a very unique club.

It’s all about the Trophy.

The Vince Lombardi Trophy, to be exact: a big piece of metal that forces NFL coaches to “(drag) their families from city to city as they go from job to job ...” says sportswriter Myers.

The Trophy is why Sean Payton worked his way up the ranks from “scab” to coach of the ailing New Orleans Saints, post-Katrina. That Trophy may have been why Payton thought he was “bullet-proof” after the Saints’ Super Bowl win. His “arrogance” led NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to suspend Payton, among others, for setting bounties on rival teams’ players.

“Coaching Confidential: Inside the Fraternity of NFL Coaches”

By Gary Myers c.2012, Crown Archetype $26/$31 Canada 263 pages

By Terri Schlichenmeyer

Want for the Trophy is why a 33-yearold “abrasive” owner persuaded a retired coach to “save” the Washington Redskins. The coach, Joe Gibbs, had a lot to learn: he’d been away from the NFL for over a decade, and rules had changed.

So had the world in general, which led to one of the most difficult things Gibbs ever endured.

The Lombardi Trophy is why a local man bought a team that few seemed to care about, and hired a coach who liked to job-hop. It’s why that same coach

is notoriously rough on his team to get results. It’s why nice guys reach out to players who’ve lost their way, why fans suddenly idolize coaches they once complained about, why there are fireworks in the locker room as well as out, and why the rate of divorce among NFL coaches is so high.

“The coaching fraternity is small,” Myers says. “Each year ... a group picture is taken of the 32 head coaches. There are significant changes to the picture every year.”

So you say you’re passionate about pigskin and your closet is filled with bi-colored clothing. Now you can read about the guys you screamed at every weekend.

With the kind of access fans can only dream about, Myers goes behind closed doors and inside meeting rooms to bring readers a hard look at the glory and the gloom that comes with being an NFL coach.

While this is a fan’s dream peek, it’s not pretty.

Myers gives his readers hard truths about personal sacrifices, peccadilloes and personality wars. Fans, I think, will enjoy knowing this info — but with a touch of discomfort.

Love your team’s coach or hate him, I think this book may open your eyes if you’re a football fanatic or if you just love a good scandal. For you, “Coaching Confidential” will fill up an empty weekend rather nicely.

Look for the reviewed book at a bookstore or a library near you. You may also find the book at online book retailers. The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer.

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

Genesis Stained Glass, Browerville, Minn.

n the years that Mary and Gary Schultz have worked as a team they have restored stained glass windows at churches throughout Minnesota. Mary, who wanted to work with stained glass since she was a child, took her first class in 1978, 35 years ago.

Since then, she’s continued to develop her skills working with leaded, fused and fired painted glass. She now teaches her own classes in fused glass to interested groups.

Gary’s career as a glass worker hasn’t spanned quite that many years. He and Mary came to Moran Township, between Browerville and Staples, from northern Iowa. For 17 years Gary milked cows and farmed. Then, in 1996, the Schultzes sold their cows.

“Gary has been working on glass for 17 years,” Mary said.

“That’s the same number of years that he milked cows.”

In 1996 the Schultzes began the process of converting the dairy barn into a spacious gallery that now displays beautiful fused glass projects where cows previously stood in stanchions. At the far end of the alley, which used to be filled with straw and hay bales, pitchforks, silage carts and other milking paraphernalia, is the entry to the Schultzes’ heated, spacious and well-lighted workshop. They call their business Genesis Stained Glass.

In mid-January they had windows from the Fahlon Lutheran Church, near Nelson, Minn., in Douglas County, spread out on their long workbenches. At one, Gary was carefully removing the deteriorating old leading from the intricately made window.

“You see how it’s worn and pitted,” he points out. “The lead lasts between 80 and 100 years.”

On another table a window is beginning to be reassembled. Compared to the somewhat muddy color of the glass in the window Gary is taking apart, the glass sparkles brightly.

“Most people don’t see how dirty a window is,” Mary said.

They do see the difference when the cleaned and restored window is reinstalled.

“We restored windows for a church in North Dakota,” Gary said. “After we got it up the priest came and looked up at the window. He asked me if we had put something new in his window. I told him we had just cleaned what was there. He’d been there quite a few years and had never seen all of his window until then.”

Genesis Stained Glass does all aspects of stained glass window restoration, and can also create new windows. They can be reached at (320) 594-6585. ❖
