Meatpackers and their “lackeys” — a word often used

by U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, to describe commodity groups like the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association who have fought COOL — hate it because, they explain, COOL unfairly targets imports as inferior. That claim, however, also serves to disguise a key benefit of not labeling, the international movement of price-affecting livestock and meat.

Canada and Mexico also hate COOL. Both say it limits their exports (mostly cattle) to the United States.

USDA trade data, however, shows otherwise. The total number of cattle collectively exported from Mexico and Canada to the United States from 2008, when COOL finally was implemented, to 2012, when it was declared protectionist, was 2.2 million head, 2 million, 2.3 million, 2.1 million and 2.6 million, respectively.

If that’s protectionism then we’re all a bunch of meatballs — Angus or Appaloosa — when it comes to international trade because facts simply do not matter.

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 approving the change (0.35/cwt. increase in make allowance). If you vote “no” the whole federal order is dismantled. If the general election were held under those rules, we would have one person running for president and if you did not vote for that one person, the government would be abolished.

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.

Mark Rohr Bluffton, Minn.

OPINION

THE LAND, MARCH 22, 2013

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

Cover story

Mules a smart, sure-footed alternative to horses

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 she was very docile.”

Petersen said that was a good introduction to mules.

“I’ve had a few bad mules,” she said.

“I bought a high dollar one a few years ago that was supposed to be a grandma’s mule. It wasn’t.”

Her attraction to riding mules is their smooth gait, their intelligence

and that she finds they have more personality than a horse. She said they are smart and catch on quick — a bad habit as easily as a good one — so you have to be on top of it when you’re training them. She finds them quicker at learning than a horse, and a little more impatient.

“You can’t round pen a mule like they do horses,” she said, “because the mule doesn’t see the point of it.”

“Stubborn as a mule” is not an accurate description, she said. Their socalled stubbornness is actually part of their intelligence. It’s not stubbornness but self-preservation. Where a horse may work or run itself to death, a mule won’t. That comes from their donkey side.

The Petersens are not alone in their admiration of the mule. They are members of the Minnesota Donkey and Mule Club. Ron Denn, who farms near Monticello, Minn., with his wife, Lisa, is current president of the MDMC. Denn said there are approximately 110 members in the club.

“It’s a diversified club from trail rid-

Breeding makes a desirable mule, better reputation 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.

foals. 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 donkey 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

MULES, from pg. 6 ers to teamsters,” he said.

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 sure-footed 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, just because they did not want horses out of those mares. Therefore we ended up with a lot of undesirable characteristics and temperaments in the mule

Minnesota Hay Bank established 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.

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.

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,

THE LAND, MARCH 22, 2013

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?”

Aaron Butler 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 well-drilling 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 to shallow wells; pounded sand points in shallow aquifers that might only be about 30 feet deep. “Yes, those wells

Economics of state’s well industry stays cost-efficient WELL, from pg. 11 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 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.

“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.”

So the only real concern for well water is if you have a shallow well and you have irrigation nearby those aquifers may have some recharge issues, and that directly might impact a farm well.

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 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. ❖

Concrete bunker for on-farm fertilizer storage 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 one-stop 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.

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. ❖

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 all-important 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 phosphate and potash). We’d load one semi of phosphate, for example, into the other semi of potash and then unload this blend into the shed and with skid loader moved it into a bin in this pole shed.”

What triggered the concrete bunker idea? Those salt sheds used by the highway department caught Stanley’s eye.

“Back when I was feeding cattle I recalled those Hanson silo ads showing different uses of their concrete bunkers. So I called them, told them what I was needing,” Stanley said.

“Their sales rep said he’d check with their engineers and get back to me. He also sent some photos of different salt sheds they’ve built. I liked what I saw so we struck a deal.”

Stanley had earlier bought a used fertilizer blending unit that was available from a fertilizer plant that was being decommissioned.

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 LAND, MARCH 22, 2013

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 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.

Todd Stanley, general manager of this operation headquartered in Beltrami County about 38 miles south of Roseau, said, “it looks much like any fertilizer plant you see at your local co-op.”

Well, not quite. This one constructed by Hanson Silo Co. of Svea, Minn., measures 60-feet wide, 104-feet long, has 12-foot concrete walls — solid concrete T panels measuring 12-feet tall, 7-feet wide, 7.5-feet long and each weighing 13,000 pounds — and features five separate interior bins, each capable of handling 250 tons of fertilizer. Including the alley, it has a total storage capacity of 1,500 tons of fertilizer.

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

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 Steve Prokosch 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.”

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 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.”

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 earning more money, the Chinese want to eat better, so pork and poultry are ramping up rapidly,” he said.

“As amazing as it sounds, we were told there are two new Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants being opened each day.”

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,”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 business people 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. ❖

MIELKE, from pg. 15 pounds of whole milk powder to 24 countries.

■ Sequestration has hit the dairy industry. The National Agricultural Statistics Service announced that it is suspending its monthly Milk Production report through the rest of the fiscal year, drawing fire from the NMPF and the International Dairy Foods Association.

The last report will be issued March 19 but could resume in October. Several other reports are being suspended but the one with the greatest impact on the dairy industry is the monthly milk production data.

Meanwhile, in one of the USDA’s reports that will remain; this week’s Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry Outlook, raised the number of U.S. dairy cows from last month’s estimate. Despite a poor milk-feed price ratio, January cow numbers were higher than expected, the Outlook said.

Forecast cow numbers were raised from last month for the first half of 2013 and lowered from last month for the second half of the year. The U.S. dairy herd is expected to average 9.195 million head for 2013, a contraction from 2012 but higher than February’s forecast.

Output per cow was raised slightly to 21,960 pounds, based on higher milk per cow in the first quarter.

■ Checking the markets, retail cheese demand is modest while food service accounts report increased demand for mozzarella for pizza promotions, according to the DMN. Cash cheese saw a second week of strength and closed the third Friday of March at $1.61 per pound on the blocks and $1.59 on the barrels. Both were up a penny on the week and 2.75 cents above a year ago on the blocks and three-quarter cents on the barrels. Fourteen carloads of block and four of barrel traded hands this week. The Agricultural Marketing Service-surveyed U.S. average block price lost 1.6 cents, slipping to $1.6446.

Barrel averaged $1.6245, down 2.6 cents.

Butter also saw a second week of gain, closing Friday at $1.6550, up 2.5 cents on the week and 14 cents above a year ago. Only three cars were sold on the week. The AMS butter price averaged $1.5764, down 1.7 cents.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk inched up a quartercent, to $1.50. Extra Grade remains at $1.56. AMS powder lost 2.1 cents, slipping to $1.5304, and dry whey averaged 60.8 cents, down 2.7 cents.

Butter production continues to be strong throughout the country, according to the DMN, as cream supplies are ample and cream markets are generally weak.

Cream demand for dips, sour cream, whipped cream and other higher priced consumer products is slightly elevated ahead of the upcoming holidays, but that demand is short-lived and expected to soon be filled.

California’s April Class I milk price is $19.49 per hundredweight for the north and $19.77 for the south, up 16 cents and 17 cents respectively from See MIELKE, pg. 17

NMPF reaffirms support for ‘better safety net for dairy farmers’ report by closing higher on the day.

Similarly, the USDA maintained its soybean balance sheet, which came as a surprise to the trade. Both crush and export demand have been running at a pace that will likely exceed USDA forecasts, so expectations were for at least one of the demand estimates to be revised higher. Soybean futures, in turn, responded by moving lower.”

The USDA also revised Argentina’s corn and soybean production estimates

slightly lower, and the USDA increased its milk production and allmilk price forecast for 2013 but “while increased milk price forecasts will be welcome news at the farm level, firming feed prices may keep pressure on near-term margins,” she said.

dairy industry is at a pivotal point.”

Complete details are in this week’s DBU or log on to www.dairyline.com.

■ The DBU also reported that California Dairies Inc., the state’s largest dairy processing cooperative, announced support for dairy producer margin insurance as a stand-alone program, as offered in the Goodlatte-Scott Amendment to the Dairy Security Act. The dairy title of the next farm bill should include risk management tools for dairy producers, the CDI said in a press release.

“CDI applauds Congressman Goodlatte, who has taken the time to conceive an alternative program that will allow dairy producers to better manage their margins,” the CDI said. “The voluntary program provides a viable safety net for dairy producers without requiring them to be subjected to government-run supply management constraints.”

The NMPF, on the other hand, reaffirmed its support for “a better safety net for dairy farmers” at the Federation’s spring meeting this week. The NMPF expects the Senate agriculture committee to begin work on a new farm bill next month and the NMPF’s leadership said that “a new, voluntary dairy program known as the Dairy Security Act which combines margin insurance with market stabilization, remains critical to the future of the industry.”

“Our members went through a tough year in 2012, with high feed costs and low milk prices putting the squeeze on farmers across the country,” said Randy Mooney, chairman of the NMPF, and a dairy farmer from Rogersville, Mo. Those high feed prices were a topic from Daily Dairy Report analyst, Sara Dorland, also a managing partner in Ceres Dairy Risk Management LLC in Seattle, in the March 8 “Daily Dairy Discussion” posted on the DDR website. She reported that the USDA’s estimates for ending corn stocks for 201213 were unchanged in the latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report.

Corn imports were raised 25 million pounds and feed demand was increased 100 million bushels versus the prior report, she said, and offsetting the gains were further lower revisions to exports, a decline of 75 million bushels versus last month’s report.

“Grain traders were not expecting revisions to corn and as such the report was viewed as mildly bullish,” Dorland said. “Corn futures responded to the

The April federal order Class I base price is announced by the USDA on March 20.

■ Speaking of California, the DBU’s Dave Natzke reported in Friday’s DairyLine that high feed prices in 2012 compounded already difficult times for the Golden State’s dairy producers, still reeling from a collapse of prices in 2009.

He references a new report from Rabobank, warning that California’s dairy industry is at a pivotal point in its future.

In their report, “California Dairies: Getting More Moola,” Rabobank ag economist Vernon Crowder, and James DeJong, dairy industry analyst, put much of the blame for current problems on the state’s seven-decade-old milk marketing order system.

They say the system has distorted milk prices and revenue distribution, discouraged investment in processing capacity and technology, and encouraged overproduction of milk. With prices following the volatility of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, processors have stayed with staple products, such as non-fat dry milk, butter and cheddar cheese to maintain margins, instead of investing in more innovation that may have put them in better position for export markets.

Due to these factors, the report acknowledged California dairy producers have received an average of $1.50/cwt. of milk less than their counterparts in the rest of the United States, with the gap growing in recent years.

The report noted changes to the California dairy industry will take collaboration between producers and processors. But, that relationship has been strained recently with debate over the value of whey in the state’s Class 4b milk pricing formula.

Another debate is shaping up over transportation allowances, with a public hearing scheduled for April 4.

The news isn’t all bad, Natzke said.

The report notes that about 20 percent of California milk production is now exported, and steps are being taken to boost that. However, the report warned that dairy co-ops must do more, and rapidly, concluding that “California’s

USDA funds to improve rural electric service Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced that rural electric cooperatives and utilities in 12 states will receive loan guarantees to improve generation and transmission facilities and implement smart grid technologies. The announcement was made on the secretary’s behalf by USDA Rural Utilities Acting Administrator John Padalino during the annual meeting of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association in New Orleans.

The announcement includes support for more than $8 million in smart grid technologies, which help utilities make efficiency improvements to the electric grid and help consumers lower their

electric bills by reducing energy use in homes and businesses.

Runestone Electric Association in Minnesota received $22 million to be used to build 82 miles of distribution line and make other system improvements. The loan amount includes $379,100 for smart grid projects.

The $330 million in loan guarantees announced are provided the by USDA’s Rural Utilities Service. The funding helps electric utilities upgrade, expand, maintain and replace rural America’s electric infrastructure. The USDA also funds energy conservation and renewable energy projects. ❖

Finding potential availability of manure phosphorus in soil 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.

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.

Grain Outlook China looking at Indian corn

Livestock Angles Market-ready cattle on decline

Grain Angles Wait and see on the ’13 drought

The following market analysis is for the week ending March 15.

CORN — It was a light news week in post-report trading, but corn found enough interested parties to gain 13 1/2 cents for the week.

The lead May contract closed at $7.17 with the new crop December contract up 14 3/4 cents at $5.61 3/4 per bushel.

Weekly export sales were good at 11.1 million bushels, keeping total commitments down 54 percent compared to last year. We have 65 percent of the total projected sales on the books. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. projecting a 47-percent decline in St. Paul this year’s exports.

There was some chatter in the trade that central European corn is being scrutinized for aflatoxin. China bought 13,700 metric tons of Indian corn as a test. India is currently not on China’s approved list of importers.

We’ll keep listening to hear if this will impact U.S. corn export business.

Ethanol production fell 8,000 barrels per day to 797,000 barrels per day for the week ending March 8 and inventories shrank to 18.7 million barrels, a 15week low. Some ethanol facilities are bidding for soft red winter wheat to run through their plants, as well as looking at sorghum to replace some corn bushels.

Planting progress is already getting behind last year’s pace, which may limit those September harvested bushels that the market depended on last fall to get us to the new marketing year. The U.S. 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 marketready 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 JOE TEALE has seen a major drop in prices Broker changing the premium basis to a Great Plains Commodity flat to negative 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 con-

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.

AgStar VP & Team Leader — Grain Industry I know most of you are asking 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.

TEALE, from pg. 20 tinue to monitor the market and protect inventories when necessary.

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 factor 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 income showing up in the demand side of the supply-demand equation. This would indicate that unless economic improvement is seen, hog prices may rally in the short term, but the long term would be questionable for a longterm sustainable rally.

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

NEHER, from pg. 20 It is easy to second-guess oneself or hold out for “hope” in the classic cycle of greed. Those who say 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. ❖

Hogs appear to finally be finding stabilizing point

their own path lower this week as the May contract plummeted 45 cents for the week to close at $14.26 per bushel.

New crop November fared better, only down 7 1/2 cents at $12.61 per bushel.

A lack of new sales, rumors of China canceling Brazilian bean purchases and unwinding of spreads against corn were noted factors for the decline. The sole new crop sales announcement came out on Friday when China bought 165,000 mt of new crop U.S. soybeans.

The weekly export sales numbers were bland. Old crop bean sales of 24.2 million dropped our lead over last year by 1 percent to 16 percent ahead of last year’s total commitments, but the USDA is forecasting a one-percent decline in this year’s exports. Ninetyseven percent of the forecasted exports sales are currently committed. New crop sales were down 87 percent from the previous week’s sales at only 4.7 million bushels.

The monthly National Oilseed Processors Association crush was lighter than anticipated with only 136.3 million bushels crushed. Basis levels in the United States and Brazil were softer this week. Brazilian bean harvest is pegged around 50 percent complete.

OUTLOOK: The scheduled port workers strike in Brazil for March 19

has been postponed until March 26 to allow more time for negotiations. If the pace of loading in Brazil stays constant, the line-up could be cleaned up in “just” 138 days. There were whispers this week that some Brazilian bean shipments were getting switched to Argentina to cut their demurrage bill.

Soybeans took the brunt of selling this week, but the range of $14 to $15 remains. The March 28 prospective plantings report and grain stocks report will be interesting and we may turn sideways before then. At least one private crop firm is suggesting their initial bean acreage number may increase.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending March 15: Minneapolis wheat was only down 4 1/4 cents compared to losses of 26 cents in Chicago and 17 1/2 cents in Kansas City. Crude oil climbed $1.50 to $93.45 this week while heating oil fell 3 1/2 cents, gasoline lost nearly 4 cents and natural gas shot up 24 1/4 cents. The U.S. dollar fell about 1/2 point for the week. The Grain Stocks and Prospective Planting reports will be published on March 28, followed by the three-day Easter weekend.

to $7.22 remains intact, but the upper limit is being challenged. If $7.22 is taken out, the next resistance is closer to $7.50 per bushel.

You may want to consider where you will make additional new crop sales, but ultimately this price will be driven by planted acreage and weather.

The prospective plantings report will be released on March 28. Some privates may be leaning toward lowering their earlier corn acreage estimates.

General CRP sign-up announced for May 20 to June 14 The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently announced a general Conservation Reserve Program sign-up in 2013 from May 20 through June 14 at local Farm Service Agency offices throughout the country.

General CRP sign-ups were also held in 2012 when 3.6 million acres were accepted into CRP, in 2011 with 3.75 million acres accepted, and in 2010 when about 4.2 million acres were accepted. In 2013, the CRP is celebrating its 27th anniversary, and over two and a half decades of conservation success. The CRP was origi-

nally established in the 1985 farm bill, and today has over 700,000 CRP contracts on over 390,000 farms, with just over 27.0 million acres under sometype of CRP contracts.

The USDA has cited the CRP as the largest and most important conservation program in recent decades in this country. The CRP continues to make major contributions to national efforts to improve water and air quality, prevent soil erosion, protect environmentally sensitive land and enhance wildlife populations. Some of the benefits of the CRP cited by USDA include:

Landowners are provided the maximum allowable CRP rental rate prior to the decision for CRP sign-up. 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.

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

• On-farm benefits from reduced soil erosion.

• Air quality benefits from reduced wind erosion.

• Benefits that will likely endure beyond the CRP contract period.

• Cost per acre for the CRP rental contract.

Producers with existing CRP contracts that are expiring in 2013 will have no preferential status for keeping their land in the CRP after this year, and must re-submit a new CRP bid to be re-enrolled in the CRP. Land that is currently not enrolled in the CRP may also be offered up for enrollment in the CRP for 2013. The CRP contracts that are accepted will become effective on Oct. 1, with the first CRP payments in September 2014.

The USDA adjusts the maximum annual CRP rental rates for CRP sign-up each year on a countyby-county basis. The maximum rental rates are based on the relative productivity of the soils within each county, and on the average dry land cash rental

Maximum CRP acreage likely to stay near 25 million PROGRAMS, from pg. 23 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 27 percent, or 9.8 million acres, from 36.8 million acres on Sept. 30, 2007. Currently there are approximately 21.5 million acres under general CRP contracts, 3.9 million acres under continuous CRP contracts, 1.3 million acres under CREP contracts, and 340,000 acres in the Farmable Wetland program. Sign-up for the continuous CRP is on-going, and is likely to continue for the foreseeable future, with or without a new farm bill.

The continuous CRP targets the most-sensitive environmental land areas, such as filter strips, buffers, wetlands, etc. The CREP is a CRP

partnership with state conservation programs, which target specific watersheds.

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 reenrolling 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 re-enrollment during the CRP sign-up period in 2013.

With about 3.3 million CRP acres set

MARKETING

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. 30 each year for the next five years.

2013: 3.3 million acres 2014: 2.0 million acres 2015: 1.7 million acres 2016: 1.2 million acres 2017: 2.6 million acres Over 70 percent of the CRP acres in the United States are in 11 states: Texas, Kansas, Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, Iowa, Washington, Minnesota, Missouri, Illinois and South Dakota.

CRP likely to continue for many years to come point during the development of the next farm bill in the coming months.

In an era when the Congress and the administration are looking to reduce the federal budget deficit, there will be pressure to reduce the current annual expenditure of just over $2.0 billion on the CRP, including about $1.7 billion on annual rental payments. Keeping CRP acres enrolled in future years in Midwestern states, where the average land rental rates have increased dramatically in recent years, will likely be much more expensive for the USDA. Others feel that we need to reduce CRP acreage in the future due to the need for expanded U.S. grain production to meet the demand for world food needs and renewable energy production.

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. â?&#x2013;

What does ‘rural’ mean? It’s all in the mind’s eye There’s an awful lot of pride out here in the nation’s heartland.

Part of that comes from the fact that, in order to live in the heartland, you first have to have a lot of heart; and if you have a shred of work ethic to pair it with, then you’ll fit in without even being noticed.

That’s just the way I think rural people are.

When I think of the word “rural,” it creates a lot of

visual images. I think of the mailbox at the end of a farm driveway. I think of the noon-time meal of “dinner,” and the evening meal of “supper.” I see sweaty people stacking bales on a hay rack.

I think of a barn — and a basketball hoop in the hay mow; silos, grain bins, and a yellow school bus coming down the road at 7 a.m. to pick up kids who may have already been out to do their chores. I see row crops, a

tire swing hanging from an old cottonwood tree and semi trucks on the county fairgrounds, backed up to the show arena on livestock sale day ... and 4-H and FFA kids of all ages showing their animals that day with heavy hearts and even through outright tears.

Yes, the rural life is a rich TABLE TALK and layered one, indeed.

I did a very unofficial survey By Karen Schwaller recently, asking other people what the word “rural” meant to them. Their answers were better than anything I could have come up with.

• Grandparents’ farms, with ponds at which to go fishing, and hearing the farm animals bellering and birds singing; neighbors pulling together to help each other out; • Seeing God in all things that grow; rejoicing in having such a great place to raise children; • Meeting a farmer driving an old tractor on the road (gravel flying behind it), and receiving the “official farmer’s wave” of the index finger being lifted from the steering wheel; See SCHWALLER, pg. 27

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

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

E

very day, thousands of pieces of furniture are being thrown away. At least that is the case if you have the creative minds of LeAnn Winship and Jeanine Fricke.

This mother-and-daughter team work together to furnish doll houses — and all of their furniture, lamps, accessories and utensils are made from recycled and repurposed items, along with scraps of wood and fabric.

In their imaginative eyes, lipstick tubes become trash cans, lamp shades and umbrella stands. Microwave dinner trays are bathtubs, watches and

wood scraps make grandfather clocks, and plastic medicine vials end up as phones and vacuum cleaners.

Fricke builds and wires the house.

Miles Winship chips in by cutting out furniture pieces. Right now they build and furnish five different houses — Years ago LeAnn made doll furniture Rustic, English Country, Victorian, for her daughters, and a while back Jea- Traditional and Modern. They also cusnine furnished a doll house for her grand- tom build and decorate. daughters. Both have been craft makers Their work room and closet are full and sellers for many years, and in the last of containers with buttons, pieces of four years moved with their husbands to jewelry, golf tees, small boxes, spice a home near Lake Benton, Minn. jars, compact cases, corks, etc., they “We decided this would be a fun thing have saved or collected from friends. we could do together,” Jeanine said.

No small item gets thrown away.

They will sell rooms of furniture or “We’ll hold it up and ask, ‘What can completely furnished doll houses. Dan we use it for?’” LeAnn said.

Both boys and girls love to reach into their doll houses and move furniture, set the table with a bowl of fruit and glasses of milk, or fry a pan of bacon and eggs.

For both children and adults, half the fun is recognizing what you’re looking at. Oh, yes, that floor radio was a salt shaker. That spoon is a clasp from an earring. And what do you suppose that fireplace once was?
