Letter: Don’t support foreign-owned plants over U.S. producers To the Editor: A federal milk market order reform vote just took place. Ballots needed to be postmarked on or before Feb. 27. Not many people are aware that this just happened. I think this is by design.

The vote was about was whether the make allowance should be permanently amended to approve a temporary increase that was in effect the past few years. The amount under consideration will equal about 0.35 per hundredweight on raw milk. If this passes, the total decrease in the class III price from the make allowance will be about $3.17/cwt. The processor will get this money to cover his cost of processing the milk.

I have several questions regarding this issue.

• Why is there not a rule or law to make sure the dairy farmer has his cost of production covered?

Every month the U.S. Department of Agriculture figures cost of producing milk in most, if not all, states, but what is done with that info? It has been many months since the milk price has been high enough to cover the farmer’s cost of production.

Why are we not voting to increase the price of milk paid to farmers?

• Since many processors are now foreign-owned, is it the USDA’s job to ensure that these foreign-owned plants have a healthy margin between what they pay for raw milk and what they receive for the product they manufacture? What about the U.S. citizen who supplied them with the raw milk? Does not the USDA owe them at least as much as it apparently owes the foreign-owned plants? If this proposed increase in the make allowance passes, the total reduction in the class III price due to the make allowance will be about $3.17/cwt. In other words if there was no make allowance the class III milk price would be $3.17 higher.

• Why are co-ops allowed to bloc vote? If a co-op has 1,000 members, they are allowed to cast 1,000 votes. In most cases, the farmers they represent never knew that a vote was taking place, or what the issue is. There is no requirement that the co-op inform its members about the issue or the pros and cons concerning the issue. Yet they can cast a vote for their members?

• I question the way the ballot is worded and what a “no” vote means. If you vote “yes” you are approv-

These are not the regulations that most Americans live under. If you expect dairy farmers to contribute toward the safe and abundant food supply Americans enjoy, the rules we dairy farmers operate under need to be changed so they are more in line with what most U.S. citizens experience.

Farmers sitting good on well water supply

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer With back-to-back “droughty” seasons behind us — and who knows what ahead — many farmers are asking themselves, “Just how healthy is my well?”

When wondering whether there’s still enough water down there, or if the drought cycles have caught up with it, a good place for answers is a welldrilling firm with 120 years of experience.

Aaron Butler, director of sales and marketing for Thein Well in Spicer, Minn., said it depends what region you are in when it comes to underground water supplies.

“Up around the Willmar area and on north there’s lots of sand and gravel profiles, so recharge of soil water is pretty quick,” he said. Down around the Minnesota River Valley and points south, water aquifers are more spotty, “But I’m not hearing any particular areas where the aquifers are not sustaining.”

There are certainly instances of wells going dry these days, Butler said, but typically that’s in reference

We’re fortunate in Minnesota to have such a renewable resource. Out west they don’t have this recharge capacity. I’m hearing about possible moratoriums on new wells being dug or limits on the amount being pumped. The Ogallala Aquifer is major for Nebraska agriculture, and irrigation pumping may be an issue out there.

— Aaron Butler to shallow wells; pounded sand points in shallow aquifers that might only be about 30 feet deep. “Yes, those wells can be affected if you’re pumping 800 to 1,000 gallons a minute from a nearby center-pivot irrigation pump,” he said, “but when the pivots are shut off these wells usually recharge.”

But aren’t the below-normal rains of the past two seasons drawing down water-bearing aquifers? Butler said that the amount of water in these soil aquifers has been virtually the same for thousands of years.

“We’re fortunate in Minnesota to have such a renewable resource,” he said. “Out west they don’t have this

recharge capacity. I’m hearing about possible moratoriums on new wells being dug or limits on the amount being pumped. The Ogallala Aquifer is major for Nebraska agriculture, and irrigation pumping may be an issue out there.”

Much of Minnesota has a glacial history, making it rich in aquifers virtually wherever the massive ice sheets moved 10,000-plus years ago. “Up around the Belgrade-Brooten area there is an unconfined aquifer, meaning it’s sand and gravel all the way down to bedrock. Here your irrigation pumps will mostly be less than 40 feet deep.” In the Willmar-New London area, Butler said the first aquifer layer is typically found at about 100 feet,

then another at the 300-foot level.

Occasionally that drill goes all the way down to bedrock. Now you’re spending a lot of money and still no good assurance of a steady supply of water.

His firm has done 400-foot wells in areas of spotty locations of aquifers, and he knows of 800-foot wells being dug, which he describes as a “no-win” situation because the customer has a huge bill and may not have a lot of water.

Defending the well drilling business, Butler said the driller is doing what needs to be done to provide a well that works for the customer. “The drilling companies don’t have any impact on the geology of the Earth. We’ve got to work with what Mother Nature put in place.”

Thein Well doesn’t focus on the big irrigation opportunities, but Butler said his firm definitely is doing more of those systems in recent years. “In our market we cater to residential, municipal and agriculture,” he said. “We’re seeing a lot of bigger confinement livestock facilities which traditionally have been on rural water but are now having a supply issue. So they often See WELL, pg. 7A

Economics of state’s well industry stays cost-efficient resort to putting in their own water system and we’re now doing some of that work.

“Also we do a lot of the big wells for ‘rural water’ supply districts. And these seem to be increasing in various parts of the Upper Midwest.”

Butler said a 180-foot well, 5-inch diameter with standard pump, would be in the $7,000 to $7,500 price range today. Ten years ago that would have been a $6,000 to $6,500 job.

that as a priority and that gets our immediate attention.

“With irrigation wells, there’s a bit of a wait because of the backlog. We do our best to look at

everyone’s situations and schedule accordingly.”

Butler can be reached at (800) 450-8000. He was interviewed at the Central Minnesota Farm Show in St. Cloud, Feb. 28. ❖

“The economics of our industry here in Minnesota have stayed quite cost-efficient,” he said.

“Concerning the investment in equipment and other overhead expenses, we really don’t get paid what we should considering what we are doing.

We’re talking thousands of dollars in equipment to put in a well. There’s some out there that really work for cheap and it’s tough to compete. That’s good for consumers because it’s supply and demand working as it should.”

Is the drought cycle ramping up business for Thein Well? Butler said they can still take care of business on demand. “We’re a good-sized family operation,” he said. “We run many drilling rigs, 10 to 15 depending upon the various purposes. However if someone’s well suddenly goes dry, we treat

Concrete bunker for on-farm fertilizer storage $39,000 savings with $230,000 structure

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Bunkers have a diversified history in American agriculture.

Quick and convenient storage for corn silage started with “bunker silos” 30-plus years ago. Construction materials were pretty much whatever was convenient in those early days. That might mean discarded railroad ties, old sheets of plywood, old utility poles, hay bales or even just piled up dirt.

But as the quality of feed product got better, so did the quality of bunker. When ear-corn silage, chopped alfalfa hay, total mixed rations and shelled corn moved into

Stanley Farms of Grygla, Minn., has built a bunker bulk storage system to handle large quantities of fertilizer. bunker storage, bunker construction rapidly got substantially better. Concrete soon became the prime catalyst.

So would a bunker work for bulk fertilizer, too? Sure, if it’s got water-tight walls, a framed steel water-tight roof and 6-inch concrete floor. Stanley Farms of Grygla, Minn., has just such a bunker.

BUNKER, from pg. 8A That’s right: 1,500 tons of fertilizer in a concrete bunker.

A framed, 8-foot stud wall sits right on top of the concrete walls to carry that roof. A brief visit with Stanley soon convinces you that he thrives on the challenge of being on the “cutting edge” of new technologies — especially cost-effective technologies.

Their 12,000 tillable acres includes 4,000 acres spring wheat, 4,000 acres soybean and 2,000 acres growing various grass seeds such as perennial rye grass for golf course, roadside and lawn mixes. Last year they had 160 acres of 75-day maturity corn that yielded 155 bushels per acre. Conservation Reserve Program land claims another 1,000 acres.

That much cropland gobbled up about 1,300 tons of dry fertilizer in 2012, generating about a $30 per ton discount price. We’re talking a $39,000 savings in just one season on the fertilizer bill, plus that allimportant 24/7 access to their fertilizer.

They used to store fertilizer in pole buildings after Stanley’s dad moved from bagged fertilizer to bulk in 1970. “For several years we bought blends,” he said, “then we switched to blending our own (50-50 phos-

BUNKER, from pg. 9A A 16-by-16-foot sliding door at one end of the bunker also accommodates the scale and fertilizer blender unit. In a Feb. 21 telephone visit with The Land, Stanley said about two-thirds of his fertilizer was already in the bunker, with the rest being delivered the first week in March.

Besides this fertilizer bunker, he also built five hopper bins, a seed treater unit (for spring wheat and soybean seed) and special conveyor belts to load either seed or fertilizer. All this so their special tender truck gets loaded with both seed and fertilizer — phosphate, potash and ammonium sulfate. Once seeding starts, it’s a 24/7 operation so the efficiency of onestop loading for both products is critical.

They use anhydrous ammonia for their nitrogen source for wheat and corn; the grass seed fields get urea.

Stanley Farms spent about $425,000 for the entire structure and special equipment.

The concrete fertilizer facility represents about $230,000 of that total package.

A 60-foot-wide air seeder does the planting. This rig runs with a five-tank cart accommodating 980 bushels when loaded. Hitched behind this seeder is a fertilizer trailer with three separate tanks for on-the-go variable fertilizer

application, depending upon the GPSdirected monitor.

That great success with corn last year is likely triggering a few more acres for 2013. Stanley Farms is also growing 350 acres of flax for a “fiber-tofabric” project in South Carolina.

“We’re growing the flax seed for this project; South Carolina farmers will be growing the fiber,” said Stanley, who added that flax is a fairly common crop around Roseau, Minn.

Stanley Farms dates back to 1937 when his Norwegian granddad bought 160 acres and hired someone to clear five acres for buildings. Today Todd, his son Bill, and cousin Mike Jelle, are operational managers of Stanley Farms. Todd’s wife, Debra, is also a key business partner. Todd and Debra started farming on their own in 1975, and built up to about 3,500 acres by the late-1990s.

“My parents also farmed about 3,500 acres and when they retired in 1998 we rented their farm so that doubled us to 7,000 tillable acres. Since then it’s just been bits and pieces getting us up to where we are today,” Stanley said.

So why such diversity at Stanley Farms? “We don’t want this job to get boring,” he chuckled. ❖

Minnesota Hay Bank established to help those on hard times ber of pending applicants exceeds the amount of money remaining. Financial donations for this program are needed and gratefully accepted. To make a donation to the MHB, log on to http://minnesotahorsewelfare.org/donate. The Minnesota Horse Welfare Coalition is a collaborative

effort of the Animal Humane Society, University of Minnesota, Minnesota Horse Council, individuals and certified equine rescues.

This article was submitted by University of Minnesota Extension. ❖

THE LAND, MARCH 15, 2013 << www.TheLandOnline.com >>

The Minnesota Horse Welfare Coalition recently announced the launch of the Minnesota Hay Bank.

The goal of the MHB is to provide temporary assistance to responsible Minnesota horse owners who have fallen on hard times by offering assistance with purchasing hay. By offering feed assistance, the MHB hopes to keep horses with responsible owners, therefore decreasing pressure placed on humane agents and local horse rescues who are already at capacity.

Eligibility for MHB assistance is evaluated on a case-by-case analysis of need.

Applicants must be 18 year of age or older, have owned horses for at least six months, be a private horse owner or certified equine rescue (boarding and training facilities are not eligible), the need must be short-term and evidence of a workable plan to avoid future need is required.

Applicants must agree to no breeding for a minimum of two years along with a mandatory site visit conducted by an MHWC volunteer. Horse owners can complete an application for MHB assistance online at www.minnesotahaybank.org.

After an applicant is approved, the MHB will work with their hay supply to purchase 15 small-square bales of hay for up to 10 horses (maximum of 150 small-square bales). If the owner feeds round bales or large-square bales, one large bale can be purchased per horse, for up to 10 horses. If the applicant does not have a regular hay supplier, the MHB will purchase hay from one of its reputable hay suppliers throughout the state. Delivery, or pick-up, of the hay is the responsibility of the applicant.

Since opening in December, the MHB has raised over $10,000 and has distributed over $3,000 of hay to Minnesota horse owners. Unfortunately, the num-

See For Yourself: China trip opens eyes for farmer

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Last spring, Redwood County (Minn.) corn and soybean producer Steve Prokosch joined 24 other Minnesota farmers on a nine-day visit to China.

This soybean checkoff-funded “See For Yourself ” trip was intended to let growers see directly how checkoff dollars are at work overseas for them.

Prokosch liked what he saw.

With a rapidly expanding hog and poultry industry, and a huge aquaculture industry, China is the world largest importer of soybeans — including a lot of U.S. soybeans.

“Brazil is (our) biggest competitor,” he said. “But currently we were told that 47 percent of all China imports of soybeans are from the United States. So I think our soybean checkoff is working great.”

THE LAND, MARCH 15, 2013

China made a big impression on Prokosch.

“I was amazed. The country is big and we saw only a small portion, flying into Shanghai, then to a smaller city, Gunzo, in south central China, which has the largest soybean crushing plant in the world; then a train to Hong Kong Steve Prokosch and eventually back to America.”

On the trip there, their plane first flew from Minneapolis to Toronto, then up over the North Pole and Russia, and 16 hours later arriving in Shanghai.

“Twenty years ago Shanghai was a rice paddy,” Prokosch said. “Today it is a very modern, bustling city with incredible traffic both day and night it seemed. There’s 23 million people just in Shanghai.

We were told China’s population today is 1.4 billion people and even with laws governing family size — one child per family — China’s population is increasing at the rate of 6.7 million people per year.”

What do the Chinese buyers for these multitudes have to say about Minnesota soybeans? “They were very complimentary,” Prokosch said. “They even mentioned that our beans are better than Brazil soybeans because we deliver much cleaner soybeans.

The protein issue never came up but we did tell them about the higher amino acid levels of Minnesota soybeans. We were talking with people from this big soybean crushing plant so they knew even better than us the importance of quality.”

CHINA, from pg. 12A He said that China produces about 464 million hogs each year, compared to the United States’ 227 million. China’s hog industry is expected to expand by 40 percent in the next five years.

“With more people moving into the cities continually and earnWith more people ing more money, the moving into the Chinese want to eat cities continually better, so pork and poultry are ramping and earning more up rapidly,” he said. money, the Chi“As amazing as it nese want to eat sounds, we were told better, so pork there are two new and poultry are Kentucky Fried ramping up rapChicken restaurants idly. being opened each day.”

— Steve Prokosch With some time for walking the busy streets of Shanghai and Hong Kong, Prokosch said the Chinese people were cordial and really wanted to visit. They had no time for farm visits on this trip, but he said that Chinese agriculture for the most part is still primitive, with small farms and small tractors, or even water buffalo for power in rice country. Pork production is still mostly just a few sows, small sheds and hand feeding.

“We did visit one modern swine facility that has 4,000 sows but we weren’t allowed to visit the barns,” See CHINA, pg. 14A

Look for the debut of our new column ‘In the Garden’ in your next issue of

‘Great market for U.S. ag’ CHINA, from pg. 13A Prokosch said. “They’re very concerned about health and disease issues because in their crowded environment a disease break can move quickly. They gave us a slide presentation, and equipment and buildings of this swine farm looked very comparable to ours.

“It had just received shipment of 30 boars from Nebraska so it would appear their genetics, at least in these larger farms, are very much up to speed with ours.”

Ford and General Motors have major construction factories in China, as does Volkswagen; China cranks out several different brands as well. John Deere also has factories in China. About 9,000 new cars are added to the streets of Shanghai each month; it costs about $8,500 to buy a Chinese auto.

There are lots of high-rise apartment buildings but not much living space.

“Those apartments were 300 square feet to house the entire family,” he said, “sometimes up to six people with both granddad and grandmother. And they

don’t yet have refrigerators so many of the people go to the market each day.

It’s called a ‘wet market.’ Didn’t see microwaves or ovens. Seems most of their meals are cooked on a stove, or cooked up as a stew.”

The Minnesota travelers dined as a group each evening, always in the company of Chinese businessmen. Food was good and conversations were open, he said, with no concerns about security or police looking over their shoulders.

Prokosch said Chinese businesspeople have high regard for U.S. agriculture.

“And I think they really need us,” he said. “They don’t have enough farmland to support themselves yet their standard of living is increasing. It’s already a great market for U.S. agriculture and I think it will keep getting better.”

Prokosch spoke at the Feb. 25 Pro Ag of Renville County (Minn.) annual meeting. His “See For Yourself” group traveled to China from March 27-April 5, 2012. The 2013 “See For Yourself” China tour will be March 19-28. ❖

TABLE TALK, from pg. 15A working hard and long hours, but having fun doing that work; • The amazing feeling of accomplishment when finishing a field or raising livestock and knowing it will help feed America; a life that brings family and friends closer, and the special bond you have with people in small town communities; fair time and showing livestock with your friends, and missing the people from your hometown once you move away; • Hard work; the quiet; and friends who understand what your life is like; • Being in tune with nature; understanding the connection to the land that can’t be explained, but must be felt; sitting on the front porch and hearing the crickets and watching the stars; • Being able to walk downtown (alone) at age 7, because everyone looked out for everyone; when the 6 p.m. whistle blew, you knew it was time to go home to eat supper; neighborhood baseball games, church potluck dinners, and baking Christmas goodies and taking them to elderly shut-ins; • Cattle and sheep grazing on a hill

(no confinements); a big white house with chickens and a couple of cows, and kids going to the barn to swing on the big rope inside so they can land in the straw below; a garden; clothes hanging on the line; • A strong work ethic, determination to make a better life for all the people they care about; early mornings, late nights, working together; trusting your neighbors and not expecting payment for helping them; making do; homecooked meals enjoyed as a family (sometimes at odd hours) on a daily basis; prayers, Sunday morning church service, and supporting kids’ school activities; trusting that when you help your neighbors and friends, that they will be there to help you in your hour of need also.

And so I ask you, what does “rural” mean to you?

One of my Iowa respondents concluded, “Where else but in rural America would these things happen? Thank God we were born and raised in rural Iowa.”

Pet owners should prepare themselves for accidents When a friend or significant other gets hurt we generally have a good idea of how to take care of them, but what do you do when your pet is in an accident? Unfortunately, most pet owners do not prepare themselves for these tragic incidents until it is too late.

“It is absolutely necessary to know if your veterinarian has an after-hour emergency service and if

not, who they recommend calling in case of an emergency,” said Mark Stickney, clinical associate professor at the Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences. “It is also imperative that you can call your veterinarian for advice on what to do to help your pet until you can get it to a clinic.” Two common emergency situations that pet owners should be equipped for are poisoning and trauma.

“If you suspect that your pet has eaten something toxic, contact your veterinarian.

They may tell you to make it vomit by feeding it hydrogen peroxide,” Stickney said.

“While hydrogen peroxide is generally harmless, there are some poisons that will actually make things worse if the pet vomits so it is important that you contact your veterinarian first. Having a bottle of hydrogen peroxide in the medicine cabinet before you need it is a good idea.”

As temperatures begin to rise, snake bites become more and more common with pets in areas where poisonous snake are common. If you think your pet has been bitten by a snake, stay calm and take it to the vet right away. Do not use a tourniquet on the animal, as this will limit the blood flow to the area causing more harm than good.

“The area where the pet was bitten will swell up very quickly,” Stickney said. “Just because there is no visible puncture wound does not mean that your pet did not get bitten. If you are able to kill the snake, then take it to the veterinarian with you. If they can identify it they will have a better idea of how harmful the bite is.”

Last weekend, however, I was bent on catching lunch.

My quick catch hardly set the tone for the rest of the morning. Three hours later, after releasing several small fish, my catch stood at three fat bluegills, three average crappies.

Not exactly a creel-buster and far short of a limit, but just enough for a light lunch for two, a gut-stuffing meal for one.

Later, with a few cuts of the knife at my work bench, I soon had a dozen slivers of firm fillets stacked neatly in the bowl.

A quick trip through some seasoned flour and a hot oven (a concession to the triglyceride gods) and the fish, which had been swimming just hours earlier, were stacked neatly, steaming on a plate.

“Want some?” I asked my wife. She declined.

Sweet, white, flaky, the fillets — every last one of them — made a feast fit for a king. And for a moment, looking at the empty plate 15 minutes later, I felt a twinge of guilt over my momentary lapse into gluttony.

But for just a moment.

Then I wondered: Just what are the commoners eating for lunch?

Termite digestion could help biofuels, insect control A termite’s own biology, with help from microorganisms called protists, are keys to the insect’s digestion of woody material, according to a Purdue University scientist.

Michael Scharf, the O. Wayne Rollins/Orkin Endowed Chair in Urban Entomology, studies termite digestion to improve biofuels production and find better ways to control termites. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates the cost of con-

trolling termites and repairing damaged homes is $2 billion each year in the United States.

Much of the study on how termites break down woody materials, which focused on the symbiotic relationship between the insect and the bacteria living in its gut, found that bacteria apparently have little, if anything, to do with termite digestion.

Scharf and collaborators at the Uni-

versity of Florida wanted to see how diet affected those bacteria. If the bacteria play a role in digestion, the type of materials the insect eats should affect the composition of the bacterial community living in the termite gut.

More than 4,500 different species of bacteria were cataloged in termite guts. When multiple colonies of termites were independently fed diets of wood or paper, however, those bacteria were unaffected.

“You would think diet would cause huge ecological shifts in bacterial communities, but it didn’t. We didn’t detect any statistical differences,” Scharf said.

What they did see were far more significant changes in gene expression in the termites and the protists that live in the insects’ guts along with the bacteria.

“The bacteria communities seem very stable, but the host and the protozoa gene expression are changing a lot based on diet,” Scharf said.

The scientists looked at 10,000 gene sequences from the termites and protists to determine which genes were expressed based on differing diets. Termites and protists fed woody and

lignin-rich diets changed expression of about 500 genes, leading Scharf to believe those genes might be important for breaking down lignin, a rigid material in plant cell walls that isn’t easily broken down when making biofuels.

“We see much more of the playing field now,” Scharf said.

Understanding which genes are involved in digestion should help researchers track down the enzymes that actually break down woody materials in termite digestion. Those enzymes may be tools scientists could use to better break down biomass and extract sugars during biofuel production.

The National Science Foundation, the Consortium for Plant Biotechnology Inc. and the U.S. Department of Energy funded the research.

The findings were detailed in three papers published in the journals Molecular Ecology, Insect Molecular Biology, and Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

Grain Outlook Livestock Angles Brazil to pass U.S. Market-ready as top exporter cattle on decline

Grain Angles Wait and see on the ’13 drought

The erratic behavior and high volatility in the livestock markets are alive and well. March has definitely come in like a lion in both cattle and hogs with differing results.

The cattle market is struggling with the fundamental scenario of supply versus demand as the new month began.

The supplies of market-ready cattle is on the decrease at the present time, which would make one think that prices would be rising rapidly as packers scramble for live inventory. However, this is not the case as prices have struggled to remain steady and the futures market has seen a major JOE TEALE drop in prices changing the preBroker mium basis to a flat to negative Great Plains Commodity basis.

Afton, Minn.

That brings up the other side of the equation, the demand side. Despite the fact that the beef cutout has made a quick and dramatic increase in price over a relatively short period of time. The fact is that the movement of beef especially domestically has been extremely poor. Beef cutouts moved from the mid-$180s per hundredweight to the upper-$190s in just over a weeks, while the volume shrunk from around a thousand loads of choice cuts to just over 500 loads.

Once again as the price for choice cuts moves over the $190/cwt. level, demand seems to shrink rapidly.

It would appear this scenario will continue to play out unless the economy suddenly improves dramatically in the near future. That will probably mean cattle prices will stay somewhat range-bound over the near term to slightly lower. Producers should continue to monitor the market and protect inventories when necessary.

A week ago, I traveled back to Kansas with my daughter for a college tour. All of the talk about how dry the Plains states had been has given the crop condition ratings a headache.

Yet, 12 inches of snow several weeks ago has done wonders to rejuvenate the crop as it is coming out of dormancy. One night on the trip, the wind blew in from the south and the rain began to pour. In the morning my daughter looked out the window of our motel at a wheat field and said “Dad, can you say ‘mud’?”

There is a reason they grow wheat in Kansas. It can hang on and make something out of what TOM NEHER appears to be nothing.

The following market analysis is for the week ending March 8.

CORN — Corn had some big daily swings this week, highlighted by the 20-cent drop at mid-week initiated by fund selling, lower wheat prices, declining ethanol production and a strengthening dollar.

When the new balance sheets were released March 8 and didn’t increase this year’s ending stocks, corn was able to rebound and cut the weekly loss to only a nickel. May corn settled for the week at $7.03 1/2 with the December contract down 9 3/4 cents at $5.47 per bushel. With corn prices higher than wheat PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. prices, there has been increased St. Paul talk of wheat replacing corn in feed rations and possibly in ethanol production.

There were reports of an Indiana ethanol plant bidding for soft red winter wheat. Reportedly, ethanol producers can use up to 20 percent of alternative feedstocks in ethanol production.

The March 8 U.S. Department of Agriculture crop report showed few changes this month. Carryout for this crop year was unchanged at 632 million bushels and less than the 649 million expected. On the balance sheet, exports were cut 75 million to 825 million, feed and residual were increased 100 million to 4.55 billion, and imports were raised 25 million bushels.

The import line surpasses any year since 1993 by nearly 100 million bushels. World ending stocks of 117.5 million metric tons were down 0.5 mmt versus both the last month number and against expectations. Argentina’s corn production was projected to be

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

I know most of you are asking — Grain Industry Rochester, Minn. yourselves, “What does this have to do with corn and soybeans in Minnesota?” Well, I am using this as an illustration of what can happen to a crop when we think that a drought is imminent. Many in the grain (farmers) and the grain processing business (livestock and ethanol) have thought that a back-toback drought was imminent.

This eventually may happen and one rain does not break a drought. However only time will tell and we are still early in the new crop season.

How many are holding 2012 grain unpriced or without a “floor,” using options; betting on a drought? How many have locked in a “floor” under profits on the 2013 crop? This is truly a tough market environment in which to manage risk. As we know “hindsight is 20/20” and the future is unclear.

It is easy to second-guess oneself or hold out for “hope” in the classic cycle of greed. Those who say

Weather events have decreased drought’s footprint NYSTROM, from pg. 23A 26.5 mmt compared to last month’s 27 mmt estimate and the average trade estimate of 25.6 mmt; Brazil’s 72.5 mmt forecast was unchanged from last month and only 0.1 mmt less than the estimate.

Brazil is anticipated to surpass the

United States as the world’s largest corn exporter this year. World corn stocks-to-use ratio at 13.5 percent is the lowest since at least 1991.

Weekly ethanol production fell 6,000 barrels per day to 805,000 barrels per day while stocks were unchanged at 19.4 million barrels. We are on track to

meet to the current 4.5 billion bushel corn usage for ethanol figure.

Skyrocketing Renewable Identification Number values have essentially wiped out any advantage to import sugar cane-based ethanol.

Some warn that the United States can’t blend any more ethanol into gasoline and cautions that the government must repeal the Renewable Fuels Standard to avoid possible gasoline supply problems.

Weekly export sales were well below expectations with net cancellations in old crop of 2 million bushels which pushed us to 54 percent behind last year on total commitments. We need to average less than 15 million bushels per week to hit the new USDA objective of 825 million bushels, but we’ve only done that three times this year. New crop sales were 8.1 million bushels, pushing total new crop commitments to 18 percent higher than last year at this time.

In daily reporting during the week, we sold 100,000 mt of old crop to an unknown destination and 69,000 mt to South Korea.

Much of the market’s focus has been on old crop, but don’t forget about those bushels that are sitting in the bag. Recent weather events have decreased the drought’s footprint in

the United States. Even though planting won’t be started as early as last year, the upside potential for new crop prices may be limited for now.

Last year’s drought-led rally didn’t begin until June so Mother Nature could still blindside us. The March 28 Prospective Plantings report will give the market definition on acres and crop size. In the meantime, nearby resistance in the December contract is $5.58/$5.68 per bushel.

OUTLOOK: It was disappointing that South American corn production wasn’t lowered more, but at least the carryout didn’t grow. The May-July corn inverse had violent swings this week, but continues to invert suggesting rationing isn’t complete. Until we see the March 1 Grain Stocks report at the end of the month, it’s conceivable we stay in the $6.80 to $7.22 trading range. Looking ahead to the March 28 report day price action, in the last 23 years May corn closed higher 14 times on report day, lower eight times and unchanged once.

Watch for confirmation from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission for the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group to decrease trading hours on the Chicago Board of Trade beginning with night trade on April 7.

Soybeans stair-step way higher as rationing continues compared to 51 mmt anticipated.

Prior to the USDA report, Conab was estimating Brazilian production at 82.1 mmt, down from their previous estimate of 83.4 mmt. World carryout of 60.21 mmt was slightly higher than the 59.448 mmt expected.

Weekly export sales continue at a torrid pace with 14.4 million bushels for old crop when we only need 5.2 million bushels per week to hit the USDA’s forecast.

Total old crop commitments are running 17 percent ahead of last year when the USDA is forecasting a 1percent decrease; 96 percent of the current forecast is on the books. New crop sales were 36.4 million bushels, bringing us to last year’s pace. New sales announced during the week included 330,000 mt of old crop to unknown and 345,000 mt of new crop to China.

The wait time to load in Brazil is out to 55 to 60 days and port workers have scheduled a 24-hour strike for March 19. They say negotiations with the government are not progressing.

OUTLOOK: Demand is key for better prices and we have yet to see any letdown in buying. May beans may stay in a near term range of $14 to $15 (next resistance $15.75) until the next round of USDA reports are pub-

SOYBEANS — Soybeans stair-stepped their way higher as the rationing process continued this week.

Spread action was a feature with the March-May inverse stretching out to a 31-cent inverse and the May-July hitting 21 1/4 cent inverse early in the week before consolidating. The extreme inverse in the old crop implies that our export program would extend into early June, suggesting the rationing process is not complete. May soybeans closed at $14.71, up 27 1/2 cents for the week; November beans were up 7 1/4 cents at $12.68 1/2 per bushel.

Carryout stayed at 125 million bushels when the trade was looking for a 3 million drop to 122 million bushels.

THE LAND, MARCH 15, 2013

TEALE, from pg. 23A The hog market appears to finally be finding a point where prices may be stabilizing. Both the live price and the cutout price have been under quite a bit of pressure for several weeks. It was partly due to the apparent increase in hog numbers during February into early March.

Weather may also have been a fac-

tor as the logistics of moving product to market was disrupted by several winter storms. The interesting scenario is that with the pork cut price dropping over the past month, the movement of pork product has slowed at the same time.

With pork being probably the best meat value, why is the demand slipping for pork? Apparently this is a reflection of the drop in disposable

term sustainable rally.

Therefore, producers should maintain an eye on the market and protect inventories when opportunities present themselves. ❖

NEHER, from pg. 23A grain marketing is easy, have likely never had much “skin in the game.”

On the brighter side, the grain market’s inverses between the nearby and the deferred contracts is an indication of continued strong demand. Basis levels remain strong as buyers have to bid higher as the futures contracts have sagged. We are getting near the “battle for acres” as the planting season grows nearer. There are some technical indicators that suggest that a run to the upside may be near.

The practice of risk management is always important and the opportunity to use crop insurance to mitigate much of the risk is helpful. Yet, if we do get another chance at a nice run up in

prices, we may want to take some more of the risk “off the table.”

I have told this story before, but it remains pertinent today. My Grandpa had a “sweet tooth” and he especially loved cookies. On occasion, I would find a box of cookies stashed away in the glove box of his pick-up truck. One time when I was riding with him I asked him about the cookies, because I knew that Grandmother would not be too happy about that because she was a health food enthusiast long before it was popular.

He told me to “go ahead, have one, because in life when they pass the plate of cookies you need to remember to take a couple.” It could be that he was giving me a grain angle about profit margins. ❖

Allyson Stanek earns Junior Angus Bronze award Allyson Stanek of Hayward, Minn., has earned the National Junior Angus Association’s Bronze award, according to Robin Ruff, junior activities director of the American Angus Association in St. Joseph, Mo.

The 12-year-old daughter of Mike and Laurie Stanek attends Southwest Middle School. Stanek is a member of the NJAA and Minnesota Junior Angus Association.

She has participated in local, regional, state and

national shows and showmanship competitions. At the National Junior Angus Show, she has participated in the photo and poster contests.

Allsyon has submitted cattle to the Angus Herd Improvement Records. The Bronze award is the first of three levels of the NJAA Recognition Program that began in 1972.

Junior Angus breeders must apply for the awards, then meet point requirements in many areas of participation before receiving the honors.

Applicants are evaluated in areas of junior Angus association activities and leadership, participation in showmanship, contests and shows, using performance testing to improve their herd and their progress in producing and merchandising Angus cattle.

The NJAA promotes the involvement of young people in raising Angus cattle, while also providing leadership and self-development opportunities for the nearly 6,000 active members nationwide. ❖

Average U.S. CRP land rental at $60.84 per acre CRP rental rate in Minnesota is $75.73/acre; however, most CRP annual land rental rates in southern Minnesota are considerably higher than the state average rate. Some other current average CRP rental rates for Midwestern states are Iowa at $140.54/acre, South Dakota at $66.03/acre and North Dakota at $41.18/acre.

The USDA tries to keep the maximum CRP acreage in any given county at 25 percent of the total tillable acres in that county, but the USDA does have the authority to exceed that limit to meet highly erodible land requirements, and if there is deemed to be no adverse economic impacts from the added CRP acreage in that county.

As of February, there was a total of just over 27.0 million acres enrolled in the CRP, which is down from 31.1 million acres on Sept. 30, 2009, and down

Landowners are provided the maximum allowable CRP rental rate prior to the decision for CRP signup. They may offer land for a potential CRP contract at that rental rate, or may choose to lower the rental rate that is offered. Lowering the acceptable rental rate below the maximum allowable rental rate may increase the likelihood of acceptance of the CRP offering, since land cost is one of the factors considered by the USDA in approving CRP contracts.

The current average CRP land rental in the United States is $60.84 per acre; however, the CRP rental rates vary widely from state-to-state, and within different regions of a given state. The current average

In 2012, CRP contracts expired on 6.5 million acres, but landowners offered only 4.5 million acres for enrollment into the CRP during the general CRP sign-up period. Of that total, the USDA accepted approximately 3.9 million acres into the CRP, resulting in a net reduction of about

2.1 million acres.

Strong crop prices and net farm incomes from crop production in 2011 and 2012, along with increasing cash rental rates, probably discouraged some landowners from re-enrolling some crop land into the CRP in 2012. Continued strong crop prices and further increases in cash rental rates in 2013 are likely to again affect the number of expiring CRP acres that are offered for reenrollment during the CRP sign-up period in 2013. With about 3.3 million CRP acres set to expire in 2013, a CRP

enrollment similar to 2012 would reduce the total CRP acreage to under 26 million acres by the end of 2013.

There is a lot of uncertainty regarding the level of acres will be offered or accepted for re-enrollment into the CRP during the 2013 sign-up period.

The current CRP acreage cap is 32 million acres, which was set by the 2008 farm bill, which was a reduction from the maximum CRP acreage in the United States of 39 million acres from 2002-08. The 32 million acre CRP cap was maintained for 2013, due to the farm bill extension that was passed by Congress earlier this year, and signed

by President Obama. Both the U.S. Senate and U.S. House agriculture committee versions of a new farm bill that were passed in 2012 called for the maximum level of CRP acreage to be reduced down to 25 million acres for the next five years.

Most likely, when the next farm bill is reconsidered later this year, the maximum CRP acreage will stay near 25 million acres.

General CRP contracts are usually 10-year contracts that expire Sept. 30 in a given year, while continuous CRP contracts and CREP contracts are usually 10- to 15-year contracts also expiring on Sept. 30 of a given year. Following are the expiring CRP acres on Sept.

■ The cash dairy markets strengthened the first week of March. Block cheese closed that Friday at $1.60 per pound, up 2.5 cents on the week and 10.75 cents above a year ago. Barrel closed at $1.58, up 2 on the week and 7.75 cents above a year ago. Twelve cars of block and six of barrel were sold on the week.

The Agricultural Marketing Service-surveyed U.S. average block price slipped 0.1 cent, to $1.6608. The barrels averaged $1.6503, up 2.1 cents.

Cheese markets continue to look for a clear price direction, according to the USDA’s Dairy Market News, and higher-than-expected milk volumes are headed toward cheese plants in the East and Midwest. This is leading to increased production and inventory. Due to less-than-hoped-for demand, some plants are pushing back on excess intakes to balance inventories.

Processing cheese demand is moderate with buyers looking for price breaks to add to orders. Retail demand is being helped by Easter/Passover ordering. Mozzarella sales are good as promotions from pizza makers increased. Export demand is said to be better and the Cooperatives Working Together program is assisting.

The CWT accepted 12 requests for export assistance this week to sell 6.4 million pounds of cheese, 8.8 million pounds of butter and 85,980 pounds of whole milk powder to customers in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, Oceania and South America. The CWT’s 2013 cheese exports now stand at 30.1 million pounds, plus 21.6 million pounds of butter and 218,258 pounds of WMP. ■ Cash butter was bid higher, closing at $1.63, up 5.5 cents on the week and 18 cents above a year ago.

Only one car was sold all week and the AMS butter average hit $1.5935, up 1.4 cents. AMS powder averaged $1.5510, down 2.3 cents, and dry whey averaged 63.51 cents, up a half cent.

Butter production is “strong” in the Northeast, “heavy” in the West and “active” in the Central Region, according to the DMN. Demand is good in the Northeast but production continues to add to inventories at some plants. FC Stone’s March 7 Insider Opening Bell reported that butter stocks in See MIELKE, pg. 34A

year-ago levels in all but one region.

Daily Dairy Report analyst Sarina Sharp detailed the Oceania situation in her March 1 “Daily Dairy Discussion,” which is a free download at www.dailydairyreport.com.

The March 5 DDR reported that New Zealand has officially declared drought on the North Island. That means less milk will be headed into world markets, according to the DDR, which reported that the North Island is home to more than 67 percent of New Zealand’s milking herd; Waikato alone accounts for 30 percent of the dairy cows. It is estimated that milk production is down 10 to 20 percent in Northland and Waikato as producers reduce milkings or completely dry off herds.

The anticipation of less milk from New Zealand and reduced availability of dairy products propelled Tuesday’s Global Dairy Trade auction higher.

“All major dairy-exporting regions, except the U.S., are showing lower milk production versus a year ago,” the DDR said. “At this point, the U.S. looks wellpositioned to fill supply gaps. However, with lower milk checks headed out over the next few months, U.S. milk production could slow as producers manage their falling margins.”

■ Looking “back to the futures,” first half 2013 Class III contracts portended a $17.98 average on Jan. 18; $17.60 on Jan. 25; $17.69 on Feb. 1; $17.82 on Feb. 8; $17.61 on Feb. 15; $17.57 on Feb. 22; $17.41 on March 1, and was trading around $17.62 late morning March 8, including the announced January and February Class III price.

California’s April Class I milk price was announced by the California Department of Food and Agriculture at $19.49/cwt. for the north and $19.77 for the south, up 16 cents and 17 cents respectively from March and $2.28 and $2.29 above April 2012. That put the four-month average at $19.72 for the north, up from $18.30 at this time a year ago. The southern average now stands at $20, up from $18.57 a year ago. The April federal order Class I base price will be announced by the USDA on March 20.

■ In dairy politics, 11 national organizations representing dairy farmers and dairy industry workers called on Congress to not approve the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.

A joint press release stated that “the TPP has the potential to become the

biggest trade deal in history. Negotiators include Brunei, Chile, New Zealand, Singapore, Australia, Canada, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, the United States and Vietnam. Other Pacific Rim nations, notably Japan, the Philippines and Thailand, are watching the talks closely, with an eye to joining the controversial trade pact.

“U.S. dairy interests are especially concerned that the trade deal will damage family farmers, dairy processors and consumers,” the press release said, and warned that “the pending trade deal could have tremendous impact on where and how dairy products are produced and processed.

“New market access for New Zealand’s monopolistic dairy sector would be especially damaging to U.S. dairy farmers and those who produce and process nonfat dry milk, butterfat or cheese.”

■ Meanwhile, the Dairy Farmers of America faces additional legal action resulting from alleged activities by its former leaders, according to DairyBusiness Update’s Dave Natzke in Friday’s DairyLine broadcast.

Another antitrust lawsuit, this one filed in the U.S. District Court of Vermont by cheese consumers in five states, alleges former officials with the DFA manipulated Chicago Mercantile Exchange cheese prices nearly a decade ago. As a result, the lawsuit says, dairy consumers were forced to pay higher prices for cheese.

Back in 2004, former DFA officers allegedly purchased cheese on the CME in an effort to keep wholesale prices from falling. Those prices are used in formulas to set federal milk marketing order minimum prices paid to farmers for their milk.

Without admitting or denying U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission findings, the DFA and its former officers paid a $12 million civil monetary penalty in 2008. A number of antitrust lawsuits have been filed against the co-op and its subsidiaries since then, and the latest suit will likely be merged with others already combined in the U.S. District Court of northern Illinois. The DFA, the nation’s largest dairy co-op, holds its annual meeting, March 18-20, in Kansas City.

Finding potential availability of manure phosphorus in soil Manure has been used as a nutrient source for crop production for many centuries. However, only in the last few decades have we started to fully understand the chemistry involved in manure nutrient availability.

Phosphorus in manure is a valuable resource for crop production when applied correctly and has proven to improve crop yield to higher levels than commercial fertilizer. In contrast, inappropriate use of animal manure has been reported to negatively impact the environment. Therefore, it’s important to understand the forms of phosphorus in manure and how manure interacts with soil before improved manure management strategies can be developed.

Phosphorus in manure is present in the organic and inorganic forms. Those phosphorus forms can be further divided into dissolved and precipitated as inorganic minerals and organic compounds. The amount of phosphorus present in a manure sample is highly variable and depends on the animal species, animal age, duration of manure storage, type of manure storage and other factors. Manure testing is essential to determine the real concentration of phosphorus in a given sample at any given time.

It’s important to understand ... how manure interacts with soil before improved manure management strategies can be developed.

The availability of the manure phosphorus is dependent on the quantity of the dissolved form, and also on the solubility of the precipitated minerals and organic compounds. The dissolved phosphorus is already in solution, and is highly mobile until it is in contact with soil particles, which provide sites where the phosphorus can attach and become less mobile.

However, manure placed on the soil surface and without being incorporated is highly susceptible to runoff with rainwater. To assure that phosphorus stays in the field where it belongs, incorporation soon after manure application is important.

Once manure is applied to soils, the soil pH and soil texture (clay content) will also have an important effect on how available manure phosphorus is.

Soils with low pH (less than 7.0) will promote minerals to dissolve fast and the manure phosphorus will become available rather quickly, whereas soils with

high pH (greater than 7.0, like soils in the western part of Minnesota) will dissolve more slowly. Studies are starting to report that the clay present in soils may interact with microbes and as a result affect mineralization of the organic phosphorus. Phosphorus in organic compounds must first be mineralized before it can become available for plant uptake.

Research has shown that soils high in clay content (greater than 12 percent) might have lower mineralization of organic phosphorus.

The organic phosphorus may stay stored in the soil for more than one cropping season, which would provide a source of phosphorus for following growing seasons. This is also one of the forms of manure phosphorus that has been called residual manure phosphorus. The residual phosphorus from manure can be any form of the inorganic or organic phosphorus that did not dissolve and reacted with the soil in the first year after the manure application.

THE LAND, MARCH 15, 2013

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey encourages Iowans to consider joining a local Community Supported Agriculture program that will give them access to fresh, locally grown produce throughout the growing season.

“CSAs are a great opportunity to partner with a farmer and share in Bill Northey the harvest of fresh, nutritious, locally grown fruits and vegetables,” Northey said.

“I know fresh Iowa-grown produce may be far from mind during the cold days of winter, but it is a great time to sign-up for a CSA as it gives the farmer more time to plan for the growing season and ensure a good variety of produce for subscribers.”

Through CSAs, farmers sell a certain number of subscriptions, or shares, and then provide a portion of their harvest to those members, typically on a weekly basis, throughout the growing season.

This allows the customers to share in the farming risk as they may receive an abundance of produce during good growing years, but less when there are difficult growing conditions.

CSA members typically receive a box or bag of fresh produce, but some farms may offer other products such as eggs, honey, baked goods, meat, herbs or

MPCA: Bringing polluted land back to productive use

Personal Service on New & Existing Cattle Barns, Shops & Homes

Reimbursement from the state’s Petrofund is based on the level of remediation necessary to protect human health and the environment for the property’s current use.

If a property owner suspects a tank leak on their property, their first step should be to call the Minnesota Duty Officer immediately at (800) 422-0798.

Once the site has been identified, consultants can be hired to determine the risks present (such as drinking water contamination) and decide which remediation processes are most appropriate. Remediation tactics can

include excavating contaminated soil, pumping petroleum out of the ground, or installing additional drinking water protection measures, such as a deeper well or carbon filtration system. The MPCA oversees these efforts and the Petrofund at the Minnesota Department of Commerce reimburses up to 90 percent of eligible investigation and cleanup costs.

ered that the soil at the old rail site had become polluted with some 60,000 gallons of petroleum.

The property owners were able to receive technical and financial assistance in investigating the contamination at the site from the MPCA’s Petroleum Remediation and Brownfield Programs. Today, the former railroad station has been refurbished into a gleaming complex known as The Depot Minneapolis, featuring hotels, restaurants and a picturesque ice skating rink in the depot’s old waiting room.

More work to be done Despite the program’s success, Kanner said there are still more sites to be cleaned up. About 10 percent of these sites are on residential properties, and according to the MPCA, there may still be as many as 100,000 residential tanks in Minnesota. Since the early 1990s, sellers have been required to inform buyers if they are aware of a petroleum tank on a property. Fuel oil has a strong odor, so indoor leaks are usually evident. It can be more difficult to identify leaking outdoor tanks if they are underground.

“If there is or was a heating oil tank on your property, it may have leaked or been overfilled at some point,” Kanner said.

“The good news is that Minnesota has one of the better programs in the country to help people clean up these problems.

In most cases, the Petrofund, which is administered by the Minnesota Department of Commerce, can offer substantial reimbursement of cleanup costs.”

THE LAND, MARCH 15, 2013

For 25 years, Minnesota’s petroleum remediation programs have provided assistance and partial funding for businesses, schools, farmers and homeowners who are responsible for cleaning up property contaminated by petroleum tank leaks. Petroleum tank leaks are a liability for property owners because they can contaminate drinking water, and under certain conditions, the vapors can enter sewer pipes or buildings, where they can present a health threat or even cause deadly explosions.

More than 17,000 sites have been cleaned up since the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s Petroleum Remediation Program was established in 1987. Almost 40 percent of the sites being cleaned up today are at small businesses, such as gas stations.

“These days, we get about 400 calls per year reporting contaminated sites, and we finish about 500 cleanups per year,” said Michael Kanner, the program’s manager. “We’re beating the problem.”

Creating opportunities for urban redevelopment Beginning in 1864, Milwaukee Railroad passenger and freight trains traveling from Chicago to the Northern Plains states passed through a station in downtown Minneapolis. Over the course of more than a century, the rail depot became badly contaminated by leaks from petroleum storage tanks.

Most donkey and mule events take place in southern Minnesota, but members come from as far north as Baudette, and a few cross over from Wisconsin, Iowa and South Dakota.

“It has truly been a joy over the years working with mules,” Denn said. “They really are a blend of donkey and horse, both physically and mentally, and of course, don’t forget about the ears.”

The traits of the mule that Denn and Petersen like often seem to come from its donkey sire. In addition to those Petersen spoke of, Denn mentioned the smaller hoof and more cautious behavior they inherit from the donkey, which makes them more surefooted in rugged terrain.

“This is especially attractive to senior riders today,” Denn said. “Mules also get feed efficiency from donkeys.

The mule eats about 60 to 70 percent pound for pound what a horse does and can still maintain their weight.”

Still, the choice of mare is important because of the influence they have in raising the mule foal.

“I find that a mule foal will take on the temperament of the mother,” Petersen said. “Years ago bad-tempered mares would be bred to jacks, See MULES, pg. 2B

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent When you enter the world of donkeys and mules, it’s like walking into a French restaurant. If you understand the language, it is easier to understand the menu. So for novices who tend to misuse terms, here is a quick vocabulary lesson of official American Donkey and Mule Society terminology.

Ass is the correct term for the animal commonly known as a donkey, burro or jack stock. A jack is the male of the ass species. A jennet is the female.

Mule technically designates the hybrid animal produced when a male ass (jack) is crossed with a horse mare.

A hinny is the term for the hybrid produced from a horse stallion and a female ass (jennet). However, “mule” sometimes is used to refer to all hybrids.

Jan Petersen of Lynd, Minn., prefers the mule to the hinny. She and her husband, Wayne, have raised a few, though they are not breeders.

“It seems when I take them out trail riding, people see them and kind of buy them out from under me,” Petersen said. “I can’t hardly turn down good money for a mule when I know I can make another one.” She was “pretty big into quarter horses,” showing them when she was younger, and she and her husband raised quarter horses.

Then she saw a mule on a trail ride.

“I watched it all day and it didn’t do a thing wrong,” Petersen said. The owner let her ride it. “I just liked the gait, and

“Hence, the mule got a bad reputation. Today some really good mares with great confirmation, temperament, athletic ability and such are being put to jacks, and the results are a very different kind a mule, a more desirable kind of mule.”

According to an article in the March 2010 issue of Western Mule Magazine, “there are as many kinds of mules as there are breeds of horses, because all kinds of mares are now being used to produce mules.” There are even a few dressage mules.

Donkeys and mules come in all sizes — donkeys from miniature to Mammoth Jack Stock, mules from miniature to the draft mule which are bred from draft mares.

While mules seem to be more popular than donkeys, that may be changing.

“The real demand lately is with donkeys,” Denn said. “I find more and more people are riding donkeys. They are great for the kids and occasional rider.

They are more laid back and more forgiving than other equine. Today’s don-

key as a rule has greatly improved and they are not worthless pasture pets anymore.”

The advent of the tractor brought a precipitous decline in the number of mules, who were no longer seen to be of much use. Lack of respect for the donkey was promoted when “ass” became a term of derision. However, those who know the animals find them both useful and deserving respect.

The popularity of the horse is not in danger of being eclipsed by other equines, but the sure-footed, lessexcitable, fuel-efficient, common-sense mule, and the long-eared donkeys that sire them, are gaining ground.

Denn said that the MDMC and the Wright County Fair Longear Drill Team will be at the Minnesota Horse Expo April 26-28. They are located in the horse barn.

The Central Minnesota Donkey and Mule Days in Howard Lake that he helped found are June 28-30 — information can be found at www.donkeyandmuledays.com.

Other mule and donkey events taking place throughout the summer, including the state show, are listed at the MDMC website at www.mndonkeyandmule.org.

dressage to all disciplines in his presentations around the United States and in Brazil, will bring his Lusitanos to Expo.

Also coming to the Minnesota Horse Expo is Jim Masterson, equine massage therapist for the 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2012 USET Endurance Teams, and for equine clientele competing in FEI World Cup, Pan American and World Games competitions, who teaches a unique method of equine bodywork, in which the practitioner recognizes and follows the responses of the horse to touch to release tension in key junctions of the body that most affect performance.

Trey Young is back for a second year.

In early 2011, Young began filming his HRTV television show, “Trey Young, the American Horseman.” He hosts many types of clinics at the 3Y Ranch and across the country and his topics include roping, colt starting and working with problem horses.

Long time horse show judge and educator Richard Shrake will utilize his Resistance Free riding and training methods as he works with horses and riders at Expo. Many local equine veterinarians, farriers and horse people will offer lectures and presentations during Expo. Watch for the schedule at mnhorseexpo.org, available sometime in March.

Performing at the 2013 Expo will be the Zuhrah Shrine Horse Patrol. This nationally known Minneapolis horse troop has participated in parades throughout North America — from Winnipeg to Mexico City — and has twice participated in the Parade of Roses on New Year’s Day in Pasadena, Calif.

In 2012, some 400 consignors brought over 22,000 items to the Minnesota Youth Horse Association managed Consignment Tack and Clothing Sale held in the Dairy Building during the Horse Expo. This sale is staffed by ,ore than 175 volunteers and is the largest fund-raiser for the association.

For consignment tags ahead of time, call Curt Baumgart at (320) 355-2142.

Free horse, pony and wagon rides at

Horse Expo help make it a family friendly, memorable event for even the youngest.

Money raised by the Minnesota Horse Expo is presented annually to the Minnesota Horse Council which uses it to fund scholarships, horse trail development and to improve horse facilities around the state including contributions to the new AgStar Arena built last year at the State Fairgrounds.

On April 26-28, Minnesota Horse Expo 2013, sponsored by the Minnesota Horse Council, will celebrate 31 years of bringing horses, horse owners and those who love horses together at the largest breed gathering and equine vendor show in the state at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds.

New this year, experience a blend of Cossack riding, bareback riding, liberty, dressage, roman riding and aerial arts tied together in a vintage gypsy setting during a 90-minute show known as Ma’Ceo — inside a big top tent.

Tickets for Ma’Ceo will be in addition to Expo daily admission and be available both online on the Expo website and at the Expo. Ma’Ceo performances are scheduled for 1 p.m. and 5 p.m.

April 26-27 and 1 p.m. on April 28.

Stallion Presentations featuring some of the area’s most prestigious sires will take over the AgStar Arena starting at 6 p.m. on April 26-27, and at 9 a.m. on April 28.

At noon each day, don’t miss the Parade of Breeds, featuring equine representatives from some 50 breeds as they pass in quick review in the Coliseum. Longer breed demos on the afternoons of April 26-27 give more indepth explanations as to what makes each breed unique. More than 300 horses are stalled at the fairgrounds during the Minnesota Horse Expo.

Eight hundred booth spaces will line Judson Avenue and seven State Fair barns and buildings with vendors promoting equine-related products, equipment and services as well as providing information about horse breeds and riding associations.

PRCA rodeos in the Coliseum add competition excitement with entrants from around the Upper Midwest and beyond. This year the rodeo specialty act will feature B.J. Schumacher, performing with Brahma bulls, Apache and Geronimo. Rodeo performances are scheduled for April 26-27 at 7 p.m. and April 28 at 3 p.m.

Rodeo tickets range from $4 to $10 in addition to Expo daily admission.

Nationally known speakers scheduled include Ken McNabb, a trainer who has been changing people’s lives through his weekly RFD television show, instruction at clinics nationwide and special appearances at large expos.

Lime Spreading

“Have you checked your soil PH lately”

Advantages we offer: • We unload directly from the trucks to a floater (Terra Gator) without stockpiling material.

This gives us a more uniform spread with no foliage to plug up the spreader.

• With direct loading there is no stockpile, no wasted lime or mess in your field.

• We use a floater (Terra Gator) to spread so we have less compaction.

• We are equipped to spread variable rate using GPS mapping.

• We service Minnesota and northern Iowa.

Why apply Aglime: • A soil ph level of 5.5 nitrogen efficiency is only 77 percent.

• A soil ph level of 6.0 nitrogen efficiency still is only 89 percent.

• At a soil ph level of 7.0 fertilizer efficiency is 100 percent. for questions or prices please call
