A lot has changed since 1987.

It was a big year for Minnesotans as we celebrated a World Series championship by the Minnesota Twins. My how times have changed.

For six young Minnesotans a lot has also changed for them. In 1987, (from left to right in the above graphic) Brian Hegland, Joan Stevermer, Christy Pankonin, Barbara Van Zomeren, Dan Sorum and Charles Krause were at the top of their game as they were elected at that year’s Minnesota FFA Convention. Turn to Pages 6A-17A to see how their lives have changed.

Here’s a glimpse of what was happening in the world around them while they were developing into strong leaders of Minnesota’s FFA organization, back when FFA still stood for Future Farmers of America.

In 1987, the year they were elected to serve FFA, the average cost of a new home was $92,000, average annual income was $24,350 and the average price for a new car was $10,355.

One gallon of gas cost 89 cents and you could send a letter with a 24-cent stamp, back when you would actually send a letter. Social media back then consisted of writing a letter or placing a phone call on a device that was attached to a wall, and you could only travel as far as the cord

Stockman’s forecast gloomy, correct GUEBERT, from pg. 2A indexes reached record highs on” March 28.

The money underwriting it all, he claims, is not coming from a healthy, stable economy but from the Federal Reserve’s “egregious flood of phony money” that has “expanded (the Fed’s) balance sheet six-fold, to $3.2 trillion from $500 billion,” since the year 2000.

Stockman may not be an economist (he’s a history graduate from Michigan State University) but he is a keen observer. The Fed’s flood not only kept interest rates low for borrowers, it kept them even lower — as in barely above zero — for savers.

As such, “Soon Americans stopped saving and consumed everything they earned and all they could borrow.”

That may be the most honest assessment of what today’s money-grubbing, me-me global economy is all about: We want it, we want it now and we want

someone and something else — the federal government, export markets, the neighbor’s failure — to make it happen.

Stockman’s view, like his forecast, may be too gloomy for many but his larger point is largely correct.

In fact, it’s always been correct: When we place stupidly large bets in markets that swing on completely stupid, logic-defying elements — like Cypriot banks laundering ill-gotten Russian rubles in Greek government bonds — why are we surprised when the crack-up comes?

For the same reason, I guess, we’re always surprised when it snows in March. We think we’re in charge when, in fact, we’re no more in charge than the barn swallows now gaily dipping and darting in my backyard.

The swallows, by the way, are not stupid. They didn’t arrive until the day after Easter’s 70-degree sunshine.

Letter: Keep your beliefs out of others’ bedrooms To the Editor: The letter in the March 29 issue of The Land about marriage and contraceptives definitely outlines the letter writer’s concept of marriage: It’s for sex resulting in children.

His statement that “Emotional love should not be used as a basis for any marriage” is exceptionally crude, in my opinion. In other words, he does not believe in loving one’s husband or wife, but only marrying to have sex resulting in children.

And he states that sex without creating children is morally wrong. In his world, perhaps, but not in the one the rest of us live in.

If the letter writer does not believe in contraception, he should not use it. He should, however, keep his beliefs out of everyone else’s bedrooms and lives.

He reminds me of former vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan, who keeps trying to pass laws against using contraception. Ryan has only three children himself, but given normal gestation cycles should have at least 10 by now, and have the 11th ready for birth.

Deadline set for farmers to meet fuel storage rules deadline for the plans to be in place, but that deadline is likely to be pushed to the fall.

“I tell people not to procrastinate. They’re going to have to do it.” And, Sunderland said, most farmers are technically supposed to already have a plan and tank protections in place. That’s because any farm established before 2002 is already required to be in compliance. “There aren’t too many farms that have

started after 2002,” he said.

With the size of today’s farms, virtually all of them will have to come into compliance. “The 1,320gallon threshold isn’t much. So you’re looking at virtually every farm needing to do this.”

By TIM KROHN Mankato Free Press If you are a farmer, you are likely already out of compliance with federal fuel storage rules.

“If I had to guess, I’d say less than 20 percent are in compliance,” said Toby Sunderland, an engineer who assists farmers across southern Minnesota with fuel tank spill prevention.

The Environmental Protection Agency requires two main things for farms that store more than 1,320 gallons of oil products. The tanks have to have some type of containment dike around them in case fuel is spilled, and the farm owner must have a Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures plan completed and on their farm.

Sunderland of Sunderland Engineering in Maynard, Minn., said the containment can take several forms. “It can be an earthen dike with poly liner, concrete, a corrugated steel ring with a liner or they have portable poly totes for smaller 1,000 gallon tanks.”

As for the spill prevention plans, different requirements are needed depending on the size of fuel storage.

For farms with 10,000 gallons of fuel and no tank larger than 5,000 gallons, farmers can do a non-certified plan using a template on the EPA website.

“It’s a 20-plus page form that takes some time, but people can do it themselves.”

Larger farms need a certified plan, something people such as Sunderland can do. Sunderland said he’s heard concerns that the information will be held by the EPA, but he said the plan is not filed with the EPA or any agency. “They are just supposed to stay on your farm. In the event of a spill, you have protocol on what to do, numbers to call and you can respond quicker.

“And, if you get inspected, you need to be able to hand them your plan.” The EPA has set a May 10

Brian Hegland, President It was the lure of the blue jacket.

When Brian Hegland was heading into high school at Lanesboro in southeastern Minnesota, he looked on with interest as he saw the upperclassmen in their blue FFA jackets.

Brian Hegland “There was just something about seeing those guys in those jackets,” Hegland said from his home in Bakersfield, Calif. “I joined as a freshman not knowing what it was all about, but I knew I wanted to be a part of it. ... those jackets were the best advertising there was.”

Hegland quickly learned that there was a lot more to FFA than just the blue corduroy jacket.

Hegland and his two younger brothers had been in 4-H, where they showed cattle, and the natural progression was to take that to the FFA level. He remembers his parents not necessarily encouraging him to join FFA, instead they lead by example.

“Mom was involved in 4-H and dad was involved in different organizations,” he said. “That lit the fire in me.”

Early on in his FFA involvement, role models were abundant, starting with Lanesboro adviser Vern Groen. “What he did for me with leadership, he said ‘just try it’.”

Hegland worked his way through the ranks of FFA offices: chapter reporter, chapter vice president and then chapter president, in addition to district offices, ending up as Region 8 vice president. “Especially See HEGLAND, pg. 7A

Hegland: ‘I would not be where I’m at without FFA’ corn and soybean farm, Hegland has worked in the agrochemical industry centered on sugar beets and wheat, and 40 different perennial crops and fruits and vegetables. “Right now I’m basically concentrating as a sales rep. for Telone, and almonds and grapes are the main crops that I work with now.”

Even though his title is sales representative, Hegland sees himself more of a “technical manufacturer representative,” advising his clients more on the stewardship of the use of Telone. California has a highly regulated environmental landscape, so Hegland said it is imperative that he work with growers because “as long as we steward the product it is very effective.

“With these crops, if you can’t fumigate, you won’t get a crop, or at least one that’s economically feasible.”

Draws from skills HEGLAND, from pg. 7A His sales territory is the entire state of California, but he lives “in the heart of ag country” on the southern edge of the San Joaquin Valley.

Hegland has seen many changes in the agrochemical world, but his FFA training has aided in preparing for those changes. “Our leadership in FFA helped us anticipate situations and be prepared, then you think of the situations before they arrive. The stuff you don’t see coming will get you.”

From the farm of his parents, Roger and Elizabeth, where he and his younger brothers Darin and Martin worked and showed cattle, to the rich ag country of California, Hegland has always remembered his FFA days. “Not a day goes by that I don’t draw from my FFA skills.”

Having lived the FFA experience, and knowing firsthand the organization’s benefits, he could see his daughter, Bradee, flourishing in FFA. “She knows the extent of my involvement, but she’s more into the performing arts. My folks never pushed me, and I haven’t pushed Bradee.”

Bradee is Hegland’s daughter from his first marriage, and he remarried to Sandra in 2004. ❖

“FFA dovetailed off of my 4-H career.”

She was in her first year at the University of Minnesota, living on the St. Paul campus, when she was encouraged by Mark Enter and Dean Harder (both past state FFA officers) to run for state office.

She accepted their challenge, ran for state office at the end of her college freshman year, and, as they say, the rest is history. “I didn’t know any of the other state officers” prior to taking office, “but I think we each brought good qualities to the table to make a good

team. Brian (Hegland) was the definite leader of the team. He was good at listening to everyone’s input. … Brian was always tactful, always calm. I was more in-your-face.”

Even though the team grew close over the year of serving together, they have lost touch with each other. “It’s kind of sad that we haven’t kept in touch.”

After the year as state officer, she continued her education at the U of M’s Carlson School of Management, graduating in 1990 with a bachelor’s degree with an accounting emphasis.

Upon graduation, she passed the Certified Public Accounting exam in 1990 and landed a public accounting job with Deloitte and Touche. She and See STEVERMER, pg. 10A

Goal-setting, leadership skills have ‘opened doors’ STEVERMER, from pg. 9A Kenneth Satre married in 1992 and started a family a year later with the birth of Will.

“After we had Will I decided to spend more time at home and have worked part-time,” she said. After Will, now 19, Joan and Kenneth also had Wyatt, 17, and Maria, 14.

Over the years she has worked in a variety of positions, all utilizing her skills and expertise as a financial analyst and senior accountant.

“I am currently working as a financial/accounting consultant for SALO,” where her current client is MWCX Real Estate LLC. Joan and Kenneth live in Plymouth, Minn., and the children have gone through the Benilde-St. Margaret’s school. Will has graduated from high

school and is now a plebe (a.k.a. freshman) at the U.S. Naval Academy. Wyatt is a freshman and Maria is an eighth grader. Kenneth is a portfolio manager for Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.

Plymouth is not geographically far from where she grew on Ray and Margaret Stevermer’s farm south of Easton, but it’s a long way from her agricultural roots.

“Where we live there isn’t FFA. I regret that my kids didn’t have that,” she said. Ken also grew up on a farm, so the couple has tried their best to instill an appreciation for agriculture.

“My Dad told me to always be proud of where you came from,” she said. Ray passed away a few years ago.

In addition to Julie, Jackie and Chuck, Joan also had brother Rob and Sheldon.

On top of the Stevermer roots she was raised with, FFA helped make Joan what she is today.

“Being involved in FFA meant a great deal to me and my development. One of the areas I found most beneficial was the emphasis placed on goal setting.

As a parent of teenagers I have seen what can happen when kids either do not set goals or they lack the ability to correctly identify the steps necessary to reach their goals,” she said.

Joan has put her leadership qualities to work as she’s been involved on advisory councils and administrator searches in the children’s school system.

Once Maria graduates from high school, Joan may work back into full-time work. Regardless of what the future holds for Joan, skills learned in FFA will carry her through.

“FFA has opened a lot of doors for me.” ❖

Christy (Pankonin) Jackson, Secretary Joining FFA was never a question for Christy Pankonin.

“I grew up on a farm and was always outside playing on the farm, and also working on the farm,” the now Christy Jackson said.

When she joined the Sanborn-Lamberton FFA chapter as a freshman at Sanborn High School she said it was natural to commit to the judging teams that FFA had to offer.

“I knew the judging aspect of FFA, having been involved in judging in 4-H,” she said, “but I didn’t know how much more there was to being in FFA, and how much more Christy Jackson you could do.” She credits her high school FFA adviser Ron Kelsey with opening those doors to her.

“He really encouraged me to go for a chapter office, then district office, and then ultimately the state office. ... I felt blessed to be given the opportunity and that he invested the time and effort in me.”

That FFA involvement exposed her to many different people. “The life decision-making and public speaking experiences have really helped me throughout my life,” she said. “I learned a lot of this that still comes in handy as I’m trying to guide my children and being a good role model.”

Christy and Frank have three children: Carlie, 17, a junior, Cole, 14, an eighth grader and Jake, 7, a first grader, all in the Red Rock Central school dis-

Jackson: More ag-smart voices needed in the world JACKSON, from pg. 11A “I hope they view it as me just showing them the opportunities that are available to them in FFA,” she said referring to her strong encouragement to join.

1990 with an animal science degree, she worked for 2 1/2 years for the American International Charolais Association in Kansas City as the advertising director of the Charolais Journal.

Christy said how she and Frank emphasize strong academics, but also push involvement in extracurricular activities to build the whole person.

A trip to the Tulsa State Fair during that time proved fruitful, where she met Frank Jackson who was showing Angus cattle.

After graduating from SDSU in

She then moved to Bentonville, Ark.,

where Frank was a ranch manager.

Christy applied for a position with Walmart to sell over-the-counter diabetes and home diagnostic kits. She proved herself to Walmart, when she was asked in her interview why she should be hired when she had a lot of experience in agriculture, but not in human pharmaceuticals. “I proved that I was flexible.”

She stayed with Walmart for six years, and during that time she was making connections with people from Eli Lilly & Co. Lilly had an opening in pharmaceutical sales in northwest Arkansas and Christy applied. She stayed in that position for 13 1/2 years, and the flexibility it provided was invaluable when also raising a family.

Christy is the oldest of four children of Wayne and Judy Pankonin. Brother Brad lives near the Twin Cities and sister, Carrie Pederson lives in Mankato, Minn. Tragedy hit the family last fall as Christy’s brother Barry

died in a motorcycle accident.

In 2003, Wayne needed help on the farm and Lilly happened to have an opening in the Minnesota area, so the Jacksons came north to work into a partnership with Christy’s parents.

Frank does the feedlot chores on the farm, and he and Christy also have a Simmental-Angus herd. They have built up a clientele of beef customers.

“We have a nice base of people that we sell to in the Twin Cities metro area,” she said. “There are about 20 families that order beef from us. ... more and more people are looking for that connection where their food comes from.”

That is just one of the reasons Christy recommends youth today seriously consider joining FFA. “So few people in the world today know or understand where food and fiber come from,” she said. “We need as many voices as possible.” ❖

Barbara Van Zomeren came through the FFA program run by her father, Bernie, at Jefferson Senior High School in Alexandria, Minn.

She looks back on her FFA days with fondness. “It was very inspirational to me. It is where I made many long-lasting friends and learned many skills that I use on a day-to-day basis,” she said in an e-mail correspondence.

She ran for state FFA office, and was elected, the spring of her senior BarbaraVanZomeren year in high school. After high school she attended the University of Minnesota, graduating in 1991 with a bachelors degree in agriculture business administration.

“It is not an accident that I “I was going to be big in 4am an ag teacher,” he said from H,” Dan Sorum said. That his classroom at New Richland was until he took his first Hartland Ellendale Geneva agriculture class under Vern Dan Sorum High School in New Richland, Groen at Lanesboro High Minn. “I always wanted to be School. “If you were in an ag class you had to fill out an application for chap- an ag teacher.

into elementary classrooms to teach children where their food comes from.

“I remember we took a Styrofoam hamburger into the classroom and we took it apart in front of the kids and told them where each part comes from. ... It was just so much fun to do that, not just making the hamburger, but taking it in to the kids. I just always enjoyed doing that stuff. ... just seeing the kids learn.”

He remembers taking a career survey when he was in high school, and “it said I should either go into the military or teaching, and that agriculture was an area of interest of mine. ... so I looked at that, let’s see, teaching and agriculture, maybe I should teach agriculture.”

To solidify his decision he took a closer look at Vern Groen. “I looked at him, and thought ‘he doesn’t look poor, he looked happy, his family looks healthy’,” he said. “I wasn’t looking to be wealthy, but I wanted to be comfortable.”

Comfort can be found when you are confident and at home. That describes Sorum in a high school ag department.

After four years at the University of Minnesota, Sorum found himself teaching high school ag at Murray County Central in Slayton, Minn. “I loved the program there, I was there 12 years, and we would still be there, but we were three-and-a-half hours from the closest

family. We wanted to start a family, but we wanted to be closer to family.”

After looking for an opening for an ag teacher, one closer to family, Sorum found NRHEG. “It’s a perfect fit. When I walked in here, it was like the program I left in Slayton. ... I don’t plan to leave here until I retire.”

Sorum’s parents, Duane and Nancy, live near Fountain, Minn., moving off the dairy farm Dan grew up on, a casualty of the farm crisis of the 1980s.

“Our cows went to slaughter through the dairy herd buyout program.”

The tough times of the farm crisis and the opportunities FFA offered to Sorum allowed him to never question his decision to head into the classroom. “I suppose when I was younger I probably wanted to farm. What kid doesn’t want to do what their parents do?” he said.

“My parents questioned where I got my public speaking skills from, because they admit it’s not from them,” he said.

Without FFA, Sorum said he may still very well be in a classroom, but probably teaching biology, not agriculture. “I really enjoyed biology in high school.”

Sorum credits his parents for their support.“You know what they say FFA stands for: ‘Father Farms Alone.’ That was true at our place. My dad never complained when I was never around for chores.”

25 Years Later: An FFA career that almost wasn’t Charles Krause, Sentinel Charles Krause knew he wanted to be in the Buffalo (Minn.) High School FFA chapter. He just didn’t know the challenges he would face to make that a reality.

Krause is the youngest of five born to Warren and Carol Krause, dairy farmers west of Buffalo, Minn., and followed his

Charles Krause

siblings into 4-H, “but I was the only one to really get active in FFA. … It just seemed like the natural progression for me to join FFA.” That progression almost met an unnatural death.

“I had five instructors during my FFA experience,” he said. “During my junior year the school board wanted to cut the ag program.” He

remembers that he, Bonnie Kowalke and Buffalo High alum Robin Kinney lobbied the school board to maintain the program.

“I saw Bonnie a little while ago, and we were talking about when we were in front of the school board,” Krause said. “We remembered that one of the administrators interrupted her and she told him ‘wait a minute, let me finish.’ She was only a sophomore at the time.”

Kowalke, Krause and Kinney must have been pretty convincing because the school board decided not to cut the high school ag program, albeit maintain a half-time offering. That was over 25 years ago, and the program is now back up to full-time. “At the time we didn’t really realize how big a deal it was to save the program.”

It became a big deal for Krause, who made the most of his time in the part-time ag program.

He remembers his mother coming home from freshman-year parent-teacher conferences saying the ag teacher had told her “your son has the potential to be a national FFA officer.”

“I hadn’t really thought of that, that I had what it took. … I just knew that I wanted to pursue leadership.”

He decided to run for state FFA office the spring of his senior year in high school, and was elected. “That kind of changed my life forever.”

Krause looks fondly back on the year as state officer.

“I got to fly in a jet for the first time” when a few of the state officers went to St. Louis for a meeting. “Barb (Van Zomeren) and I did our Goodwill tour, visiting five to seven schools a day for a week in southwestern Minnesota,” he said. “Barb and I got to be close friends, had a lot of fun. … it’s funny how close we all got that year, but now we haven’t been together since we left our last state convention 25 years ago.”

The year Krause served as state FFA sentinel was also his first year at the University of Minnesota, where he majored in animal science with a dairy emphasis. He graduated in 1991 and headed back to the farm, to join his dad, Warren, in the dairy business. “I’ll be doing this for the rest of my life.”

FFA leadership a Buffalo tradition for Krause family Now he has the chance to see his children follow his FFA footsteps, and continue the Krause FFA legacy. Warren Krause, Charles’ father, also served as chapter president of the Buffalo FFA Chapter in 1955.

Andrew is a senior at Buffalo High School, and is the FFA chapter president and Region 4 president. Morgan is a sophomore at Buffalo and the chapter historian, as well as serving as Region 4 reporter.

“Both of them have shown an interest in coming home to the farm after college and I think that’s great,” he said. “You don’t discourage anyone from doing what they want to do.”

While he’s watching his son and daughter blaze their FFA trails, he is also using the skills learned in the FFA to lead and give back to his industry.

In addition to serving as the president of the Buffalo FFA Alumni Chapter, Krause also serves on the Dairy

Herd Improvement Association board, the local Holstein board, is involved with the Midwest Dairy Association and Dairy Farmers of America, where the Krause farm’s milk is shipped.

“I always tell my kids that ‘if you don’t tell your story, someone else with a different agenda will tell the dairy story, so why don’t we tell our own story’. ... FFA was the key thing to get me to do all of this.”

Before

In addition to being an “agvocate,” Krause does a pretty good job on the farm as well, with his herd often being recognized for its performance and production.

“I’m really happy where I’m at,” he said. “When we were in high school we had to write where we wanted to be when we were 40 or 45. I wrote that I wanted to be respected as a dairy farmer.” ❖

KRAUSE, from pg. 16A operation is full. The family is two months into new free-stall barn.

“We’ve had a freestall barn before, but we just weren’t getting the production that we’d like,” he said. Even though they’ve only been in this new barn a limited time, they are already seeing the results. “We’ve already seen production jump 12 pounds per cow.”

Krause almost got an earlier start to his dairy career, a start that would have halted his FFA career. Warren suffered a heart attack when Charles was a sophomore in high school.

“When I was out there milking cows, I thought about not even going to school, that I would just be a dairy farmer for the rest of my life.”

Obviously, he did not forgo college and his FFA leadership days. “I am so glad that I didn’t to that,” he said. “I would have missed out on so much. … I would have never met (wife) Robyn if I hadn’t gone to the U of M.”

From the Fields: Hurry up and wait for planting there doing something.” The reality, however, is that it “looks like it’s going to be a later spring.”

Last year’s spring temps were clearly abnormal, but “this year is starting to look abnormal in a cooler way,” Messner said. While he admits he’s anxious about the weather, he knows that when field conditions improve “things are going to get busy.” And being busy on the farm is a good thing.

By KRISTIN KVENO The Land Correspondent

The Brandts Ada, Minn.

What do you love most about springtime on the farm?

The fresh spring air?

The newborn animals? The planting of crops? The mud?

Danny Brandt For Danny Brandt’s children, running around in the mud is what spring farm living is all about.

When The Land caught up with him on April 2, he was taking in the brisk night air while watching his children, Anna and Evan, play in the muddy farmyard. Brandt himself, meanwhile, is ready for drier conditions, as well as warmer temps to melt away all of the white stuff on the ground.

In the meantime Brandt has been hauling corn and wheat to the elevator in Ulen, Minn., for the last week.

Once that’s done in a day or so, he’ll focus on the equipment side — his beet planter is in the shop. Besides basic maintenance, Brandt works hard in the “off-season” to make sure the farm machinery is ready to go in the spring. “I try to go through things before parking them,” he said.

“Last year at this time we were seeding wheat,” Brandt said. With 6 to 8 inches of snow cover in the area, planting will definitely have to wait.

“You always want an early spring.”

Brandt is hoping that by May 5 they can get the wheat in the ground, with corn and beets planted right after that.

Living in the Red River Valley area, he’s hearing warnings on the news that flooding may occur in the FargoMoorhead area, but feels confident that due to “good slow melt” at his farm, major flooding won’t be a concern. The area rivers, sloughs and ditches froze dry, which will help with any flooding issues.

For now Brandt looks ahead to warmer days, no snow and maybe a chance to play in the mud with the children one more time before all the “busy-ness” of planting cranks up.

The Johnsons Starbuck, Minn.

The Messners Northfield, Minn.

It’s cold but getting warmer. This sentiment describes the optimism of a farmer waiting for signs that spring is actu- Scott Johnson ally going to do its job and warm up the ground. For Scott Johnson, while spring this year may seem a bit tardy at the moment, his farm is right “on schedule.”

“Last year was so abnormally early” when it came time for planting, he said. He’s anxious to get out in the field, but is quick to point out it “doesn’t pay to rush it, either.”

When The Land spoke to Johnson on April 2 the weather outlook indicated a warm-up for the rest of the week.

That forecast was music to Johnson’s ears; he predicted it would only be two to three more weeks until he got out in the field. Once the fields are ready, his first job is to “go out and pick a few rocks.”

Until then Johnson is staying busy getting equipment ready for planting.

Meanwhile, the snow-covered fields — rocks and all — wait for the ground to thaw and a little bit of water to run off.

Spring is officially here. Now if someone could just poke Mother Nature in the ribs and tell her that.

Cold weather hasn’t allowed for any planting in the field — and for Chris Messner, he wouldn’t mind that changing, and fast.

Chris Messner When The Land spoke to Messner on April 4 he was busy at Central Valley Co-op getting seed delivered to customers. Just like them, he’s playing the waiting game.

Last year at this time Messner had already applied fertilizer and anhydrous ammonia to his fields. Soil conditions this year are dictating a substantial delay. He reported that the ground was still frozen two inches below the surface. Thanks to that and remaining snow, there’s some standing water.

“We need the moisture to get the frost out of the ground,” Messner said.

With snow and rain in the forecast that will help, but the lack of warm temperatures is frustrating. “You’d like to get in there early.”

Early planting won’t be happening in 2013, but Messner feels that “as long as corn is planted by May 5, you’re in good shape.”

At his job at the co-op, he gets the opportunity to talk with fellow farmers who, like him, “would like to be out

Hard-working art

Charlie Laubenthal’s springs are busy, with delivering seed to customers, working his full-time job, and getting ready Charlie Laubenthal for planting. But there’s a lot of waiting, too. Like all farmers in the region, spring can’t come fast enough.

The Land caught up with Laubenthal on April 1 while commodity markets, corn in particular, were on his mind. “The market was down 83 cents in two days,” he said. Even with that sharp decline, he admits that agriculture has been strong for at least three years, so it’s a wait-and-see game to find out which way prices will go.

Within the last week snow cover has melted off fields and the “tiles have opened up.” Warm temperatures are still elusive, with plenty of frost still in the ground in some areas. Winter in his area started off mild in terms of precipitation, but Laubenthal believes they had more “winter” in March than the preceding three months.

In 2012 “we did have a couple guys plant corn March 31 and it did make it,” he said. March 31 this year has already come and gone, however, and the fields are still untouched — they’ve gone from one extreme to another, Laubenthal said. He calls the field conditions good, however, and is happy to report they’ve got no standing water.

The goal is still to get corn planted

by April 20. “Spring’s work will go fast,” Laubenthal said. While it’s been pretty quiet around the farm, it’s only a matter of time before the hum of tractors fills the countryside. ❖

Farmer’s friend — ‘Tile Finder’ locates trouble spots The utility locator device detects the electrical signal up to 15 feet deep, so depth of tile isn’t an issue. The dispenser comes with 650 feet of coiled tubing. A hand crank lets you retract the line.

“It saves so much time,” Hewitt said.

“When you have a malfunctioning tile line it’s frustrating to locate the problem spot. This device lets you get the job done quickly and easily. Farmers really like the convenience.”

It comes with a one-year warranty but if used properly, the $4,750 device should last indefinitely.

Made by a firm near Des Moines, Hewitt first saw the Maverick Tile Finder at Farmfest 2012. “I told the guy at his exhibit booth to bring one up and we’d try it. He did. We shoved it up a tile line. It’s a simple, easy tool. I’m now the Minnesota distributor. I’ve done some 500-foot long probes. One guy can push the line that far.”

Besides custom tiling, Hewitt also sells Gold Digger Tile Plows, either pull-type or 3-point hitch mounted. He thinks the tiling boom in Minnesota is just warming up. “I had one customer that put in 400,000 feet of tile last year; another did 300,000 feet and both are just a few miles from where I live,” he said.

Hewitt sells equipment and does custom work, so his tiling “bias” is not exactly a secret. But despite the huge boom in farmland tiling across southern Minnesota the past few years, he said, “I think we’re just seeing the tip of the iceberg. There’s so much farmland that’s been rented for 20 to 30 years that simply needs a new tiling system put in place.”

Hewitt said renters are now paying to tile this ground because with costs of production continuing to ramp up, they can’t afford to farm it unless it has a good, well-designed drainage system.

“We’re talking $600 to $700 per acre to grow an acre of corn,” he said, “and if you’re only getting 120-bushel yields because of poor drainage you know what needs to be done. Often the landowner won’t tile because he knows he can rent the ground regardless. But of course if the renter pays for the tile a long-term rental agreement should be in place also.”

Hewitt is a water quality guy, too.

He’s eliminated all surface tile inlets on his own farming operation and generally pushes that idea with his customers. “We either go rock inlets or pattern tile.”

THE LAND, APRIL 12, 2013

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Kevin Hewitt, a LeSueur, Minn., ag business entrepreneur who already cuts a wide swath in custom farming and farm drainage equipment, now has a tool — the Maverick Tile Finder — that just might make him a farmer’s favorite friend.

“You shove this coiled, 3/8-inch copper rod up your existing line, either at the tile outlet or accessing through a surface inlet,” he said, explaining the Maverick. “You then walk the tile line with a ‘utility locator’. This device tracks the copper rod and helps you detect exactly the trouble spot in that particular tile line.”

The Maverick sends 82 ohms of electrical current through the copper rod which is readily picked up by the locator. Once you find where the rod ends, you’ve located the blockage spot. Then you back hoe down to that tile location and fix it.

Grain Outlook Corn skids after stocks report

Livestock Angles Cattle, hog markets erratic

Grain Angles USDA finds more grain out there

The following market analysis is for the week ending April 5.

CORN — Corn extended its skid lower from Monday’s opening bell after last week’s game-changing U.S. Department of Agriculture stocks report.

Corn experienced the largest two-day decline in history on March 28 and April 1. For the week, May plummeted 66 1/4 cents to close at $6.29 compared to only a 3 1/2-cent loss in the December contract, which settled at $5.35 per bushel. May corn has traded a range from the March 27 high of $7.37 3/4 to this week’s low of $6.26 1/2 per PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. bushel. The May left a gap on the St. Paul chart from $6.95 1/4 down to $6.79 per bushel. The startling March 1 stocks number which was 380 million higher than expectations was the tipping point, but long liquidation throughout the week continued to overwhelm buying volume. Producer sales have evaporated, which has helped maintain basis levels. Adding insult to injury, reports this week of bird flu in China also lent pressure to commodities. Uncovered end-users, however, were smiling throughout the week as prices retreated. Depending on whose calculations you use, ethanol producers are experiencing their best margins in over a year.

Weekly export sales at 13.9 million bushels offered neither support nor pressure with 13.0 million needed per week to reach the USDA export projection for this crop year and this was the first week in the last five to make that number. Total corn export commitments are running 54 percent behind last year when the USDA is expecting a 47-percent decline in exports compared to last year. The only

The start of April is indicating a lot of uncertainty in the hog and cattle markets. Both have started the month in an erratic manner, indicating a disparity in each of their supply and demand fundamentals.

The cattle market, which has a decrease in available cattle ready for market, has seen a steady to higher cash market.

However, the futures market has responded with a lower trade and finishing with a discount to the cash trade. This is continuing to indicate the general lack of demand for beef. This has been an ongoing problem — each time the beef cutout advances over $190 per hundredweight, the demand for JOE TEALE beef is quick to shrink.

Broker The disappointing prospect Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. here is that we are approaching the grilling season which is normally a strong demand period for beef and as yet we have seen little response by the domestic retailer.

With competitive meats in more abundant supply and at much lower cost per pound at the wholesale level, this will make it hard for beef to compete under these economic conditions. This will likely keep the cattle market in a rather choppy trading range for the near-term outlook.

This battle of supply and demand should continue through the remainder of the spring; longer if the overall economic conditions do not improve. Because of this struggle, both cash and futures markets will likely see sharp moves in either direction on a weekly basis. For producers, caution should be advised and protection warranted when opportunity arises.

The hog market has been attempting to make a seasonal bottom for several weeks now and has so far failed to accomplish that goal. The futures market,

There has been a lot of talk since the March 28 U.S. Department of Agriculture report was released.

There are many opinions on how accurate the predictions are. Only time will tell. Most of the questions, however, centered around the stocks report, where the USDA found a bit more corn than many grain analysts were predicting.

The USDA estimates that there are 5.4 billion bushels of corn and 1 billion bushels of soybeans in storage. The average estimates of the analysts were 5.030 billion bushels of corn and 947,000 bushels of soybeans. These are not drastic differences, stocks remain tight and there is less corn on hand than there has TOM NEHER been in the last nine years at this AgStar VP & Team Leader time. What this means is higher — Grain Industry Rochester, Minn. prices rationed by demand. The higher prices triggered cutbacks on ethanol production, fewer cattle on feed placements and reduced chick sets.

The export market for corn has been flat during this timeframe as well. So it is little wonder that there were a few more bushels of corn in the stocks report.

There were no big surprises in the planted acres estimates. The USDA estimated that U.S. farmers would plant 97.3 million acres of corn, which matched the average estimate of 97.3. They also estimated that 77.1 million acres of soybeans would be planted in the United States versus the average estimate of 78.5 million acres. The surprising part is the market’s reaction to the news.

We saw a pronounced move to the down side with a limit move in corn on the day of the report. This can happen when too many people are trying to get out of their long positions at the same time. When this occurs, buyers back away from the market because

See TEALE, pg. 23A

See NEHER, pg. 23A

Information in the above columns is the writer’s opinion. It is no way guaranteed and should not be interpreted as buy/sell advice. Futures trading always involves a certain degree of risk.

Not as severely as corn, but beans step lower concerned with any talk of delayed planting, but the drought focused mainly in the western Corn Belt should provide support near current levels. Improving ethanol margins and massive post-report fund liquidation should help stabilize old crop prices. However, rallies will be considered selling opportunities in both old and new crop. If we can’t hold this week’s low of $6.26 1/2, the next support is a gap left at $6 1/2 per bushel.

First resistance will be the 38 percent retracement at $6.69 per bushel. The average ending stocks guess for this month’s April 10 USDA balance sheet is an increase to 836 million bushels with the range of estimates running from 686 million to 959 million bushels.

Hog supply fairly constant TEALE, from pg. 22A

NEHER, from pg. 22A they think they will be able to buy it cheaper the next day. Lower prices increased the open interest in corn as end-users came back into the market, locking-in prices. We did see some panic selling from the holders of unpriced grain.

U.S. weather forecasters remain wary of a drought after missing the 2012 surprise. Many of the most prominent forecasters freely admit that the models they have used in the past did not catch this drought until it was right on top of the Midwest. Some have called it a “flash drought” because it developed so quickly. This year many climatologists are re-working their models in hopes of gaining a quicker alert to the possibility of a returning drought this summer.

The topsoil may be wet right now, but the real question is how wet it is and how hot our summer will be.

The one grain angle I hope that I have given you is that of margin management. This is the practice of making marketing decisions as financial decisions using cost of production and market offerings rather than trading decisions, trying to outguess the market.

After nearly 30 years in the markets and watching the weather, I must admit that my “crystal ball” is not ever that clear to see the future. That’s the beauty of diligent margin management.

Regardless of what the future brings, farmers who base grain marketing decisions on their production costs, and where prices need to be in order to make a profit, will have the most consistent success over time. ❖

which has been at a premium to cash for quite some time, is attempting to turn the corner and establish a spring low. However, it will certainly depend on the cash market to strengthen and for the demand for pork to continue strong. Demand has been the catalyst for the support in the hogs, which is just the opposite of the cattle market.

million bushels for old crop and 13 million for new crop. We need to sell only 4.3 million per week to achieve the USDA estimate. This week’s sales were the second highest in the last five weeks. Total bean commitments are 1.325 billion bushels when the USDA export forecast for the marketing year is 1.345 billion bushels.

Brazil’s bean production is expected to be 83.25 mmt with Argentina’s production at 52 mmt, according to Informa Economics’ updated forecasts. The USDA is at 83.5 mmt and 51.5 mmt respectively. Argentine growers have only sold 10 mmt so far when last year they had priced 15.3 mmt, and this year’s crop is larger.

OUTLOOK: The average estimate for ending stocks on the April 10 USDA report is 138 million bushels, with a range of 115 million to 160 million bushels. In March the figure was 125 million bushels. Soybeans may get some help from this week’s USDA balance sheets as they search for support.

The fall low at $13.37 3/4 will act as first support for old crop, with first resistance close to $14 per bushel.

Goldman Sachs lowered their threemonth price forecast for soybeans by 50 cents to $13.50 per bushel. Monitor the bird flu news; if it becomes a moot issue soybeans could see a quick turnaround.

The supply of hogs has remained fairly constant to a slight increase as evidence in the recent U.S. Department of Agriculture Hogs and Pigs Report. The pork cutout is reflecting a

slight increase in demand for pork as we move into the grilling season, as the volume in the pork trade has slightly improved. With such a sharp contrast in the pork cutout to the beef cutout, and the deteriorating economy, the consumer appears to be more attracted to the lower-priced pork.

This could be the support the hogs need to turn the market higher and establish a spring rally.

Given the overall economic situation, it is not likely that a large sustained rally is projected. Therefore producers should be patient and protect inventories when available. ❖

lower throughout the week. The May soybeans collapsed 43 cents for the week to settle at $13.61 3/4 with the November down 23 1/2 cents at $12.28 per bushel. As in corn, grower sales have evaporated with the price decline, keeping basis firm. A driving force in the soybeans this week was the lack of any new export sales announcements and the bird flu in China.

With six people dead of the 14-plus reported cases of bird flu in China, soybeans and product export demand were called into question. Live poultry markets have been closed and at least 20,000 chickens have reportedly been slaughtered in efforts to curb the spread of the disease. So far, there is no evidence of human-to-human transmission of the disease. China is the world’s largest importer of soybeans and the biggest customer of the United States. Until the situation is better defined, buyers will likely move to the sidelines. The discovery of thousands of dead pigs in Chinese rivers over the last few weeks has yet to be explained.

Vietnam has banned imports of poultry from China. The last time something of this nature occurred in China, the demand fears were more flash than bang in the long run.

A soybean plant in Kansas this week announced they would be closing until new crop for maintenance and due to problems in securing beans. Basis levels in general are running 40 to 70 cents better than the five-year average. Export sales were strong at 14.4

NYSTROM, from pg. 22A USDA sale announced during the week was 120,000 metric tons of new crop corn to unknown (thought to be China). Weekly ethanol production was 2,000 barrels per day higher this week at 807,000 barrels per day, stocks were unchanged. On an annual basis, ethanol production equates to an annual corn grind of 4.55 billion bushels, essentially right at the USDA forecast.

Informa Economics this week pegged world corn production for 2013-14 at 976 million mt, 125 mmt higher than last year’s production. Goldman Sachs lowered their three-month price forecast by $1 to $6.50 per bushel. There has been corn planting reported as far north as Springfield, Ill. What’s your plan for new crop pricing?

All listed custom rates in the Iowa Survey results include fuel, labor, repairs, depreciation, insurance and interest, unless listed as rental rates or otherwise specified. The average fuel price for diesel fuel was assumed to be $3.50 per gallon. A fuel price increase of $0.50 per gallon would cause most custom rates to increase by approximately 5 percent.

These average rates are only meant to be a guide for custom rates, as actual custom rates charged may vary depending on continued increase in fuel costs, availability of custom operators, timeliness, field size, etc.

Custom farming agreements An alternative to leasing farmland is a “custom farming agreement.”

In a typical custom farming agreement, the custom operator agrees to perform all the machine operations on the owner’s land in exchange for a set fee or rate.

pay the farmer an agreed-upon peracre fee for the custom farming services by specified dates. The landowner is considered to be the material participant for income tax purposes, and the landowner is typically entitled to all government farm program payments, crop insurance indemnity payments, etc.

Key issues with custom farming agreements Although the concept of a custom farming agreement is simple, close communication between the custom operator and the landowner is essential. A written contract for the custom farming agreement should definitely be prepared that specifies the amount of payment by the landowner to the custom operator, and all other pertinent details.

Following are some points to consider for a custom farming agreement.

• The custom farming agreement should specify the payment amount per acre that the landowner will pay See PROGRAMS, pg. 26A

Following are the average custom rates for some common farming practices for 2013, based on the “Iowa Farm Custom Rate Survey.”

Custom farming rates (Includes tillage, planting and harvesting costs) Corn: $126.65/acre (Range: $85 to $175) Soybeans: $112.40/acre (Range: $68 to $165) Small grain: $83.25/acre (Range: $50 to $100) Tillage Moldboard plow: $16.15/acre Chisel plow: $15.20/acre V-ripper (deep tillage): $19.60/acre Field cultivator: $13.35/acre Tandem disk: $13.60/acre Row cultivator: $12.50/acre Chopping cornstalks: $11.40/acre Planting Planter with attachments: $18.45/acre Planter without attachments: $16.60/acre No-till planter: $18.45/acre Soybean drill: $15.75/acre Grain drill: $14.90/acre

added costs.

In addition, custom farming offers a fixed return per acre to the custom operator, and although there is some possibility of higher repair bills, this is minor compared with the price and yield risks typically faced by a farmer in a normal cash rental contract.

Of course, in a good year, profits from a custom farming agreement will be lower than under most cash rental leases; however, in this era of much higher land rental rates there is much more risk to the farmer with a cash lease as compared to a custom agreement with a landowner.

Landowners also find several advantages to a custom farming agreement.

Landowners with small acreages can make most of the crop production and grain marketing decisions without the investment into a full line of farm machinery. The landowner does not have to negotiate land rental rates, or worry about collecting lease payments, since the owner receives all of the crop proceeds. The landowner does have to

Custom operator has no responsibility for decisions PROGRAMS, from pg. 25A the custom operator, and should list the payment dates.

• There needs to be an accurate count on the number of acres that will be under the custom farming agreement for payment purposes, so that the farmer can accurately plan tillage, planting and harvesting schedules.

• The normal field practices to be included under the custom farming agreement should be listed (tillage, planting, weed control, harvesting, etc.). Typically, these agreed-upon practices are part of the per acre custom farming payment for the year that is negotiated between the custom operator and the landowner.

• Additional tillage trips or replanting due to weather conditions, or added spraying applications of pesticides to control weeds, insects or diseases, which are provided by the custom operator, are usually charged to the landowner at a custom rate per acre that is over and above the base custom farming rate.

• Timing of planting and harvesting operations should be discussed and negotiated between the custom operator and the landowner prior to the growing season. This can become a tenuous issue, especially in years with challenging weather conditions.

• The custom operator may be asked

for advice by the landowner regarding the seed corn hybrid or soybean variety to plant, fertilizer rates, chemical applications, levels of crop insurance coverage or grain marketing decisions. However, the final decisions on these items lie with the landowner, and the custom operator needs to be careful not to take responsibility for the final authority on those decisions.

• Typically, the harvested grain of the landowner is delivered by the custom operator to a farm storage facility owned or rented by the landowner, or to an agreed upon area grain elevator, as part of the custom farming agree-

ment. Any grain deliveries beyond the local area usually result in the landowner paying an extra custom rate charge for grain hauling. Also, if the landowner uses the custom operators grain drying and handling facilities, there is typically an added charge for these services.

Bored birds can do some strange things, but you can help Nail-biting, gum smacking, knuckle popping — they can be irritating habits people have. Even birds display their share of odd behaviors.

Feather plucking is a common habit among parrot-type birds, said Alice Blue-McLendon, a veterinarian with the Winnie Carter Wildlife Center at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.

While most adult birds lose their feathers naturally once or twice a year in a process called molting, it is not natural for a bird to pluck out its own feathers, Blue-McLendon said.

One of the clues that a bird is plucking its feathers is to look at the bird’s head. Since a parrot cannot pluck feathers from its own scalp, a featherplucking bird will have a full head of feathers but be missing a lot of feathers on other parts of its body.

As simple as it may sound, the most common reason for a bird to pluck out its own feathers is boredom, Blue-McLendon said.

“When a bird isn’t stimulated by its environment, it may begin plucking its feathers for entertainment or out of

frustration,” she said.

Because of birds’ high intelligence level, environmental enrichment is extremely important for them, Blue-McLendon said. They need plenty of toys to play with, especially ones they can chew.

“The more time they spend chewing on toys and food, the less time they have to chew on their feathers,” she said.

Some birds enjoy playing with their own feathers after they have fallen out naturally through molting. Although feathers are cheap and simple toys,

they aren’t appropriate ones.

Playing with loose feathers may spawn a nasty plucking habit.

“You don’t want to encourage your bird to pluck its feathers out to have something to play with,” Blue-McLendon said. “Remove the feathers from the cage as soon as they fall out.”

Excessive grooming, or “preening” as it is known in the avian arena, is also not an appropriate pastime for birds.

“You should curb this behavior early,”

Blue-McLendon said. “If you allow it to continue, some birds, especially cockatoos, can become overzealous in their preening.”

Preening can be another common precursor to feather plucking. Again, occupying its time with other activities can help rid your bird of its obsession with grooming, Blue-McLendon said.

She said it’s important to try to break any bad habits as soon as you notice them.

“Temporarily changing your bird’s environment is a good start,” BlueMcLendon said. “Try adding new toys to its cage or simply rearranging its existing toys. Also, consider moving its cage to another area of the house, possibly one with heavier traffic.”

If your bird’s meals consist of only seeds, try to incorporate new foods and flavors into its diet, Blue-McLendon said.

Add colorful fruits and vegetables, especially those that can double as chew toys like celery, carrots and green beans.

However, know that change is not always the best remedy. Sometimes variation, especially sudden and draSee FEATHERS, pg. 29A

CROSS, from pg. 32A live bait. However, worms, wax worms, spikes, even a pinch of Velveeta cheese rolled into a pea-sized ball or a kernel of sweet corn slipped onto a hook can trip a trout’s trigger at times.

Anglers preferring to use artificial hardware usually toss small spinners. Variations of artificial, soft, flavored baits of the “Gulp” variety that resemble fish eggs also can work well.

Artificial flies also can produce. However, given the size of crowds around the ponds early on, chances are greater for catching a fellow angler rather than a trout.

Of course, catching fish is never a sure thing and sometimes, even hatchery trout can be as finicky as, well, trout.

Consider last year: After a hiatus of several years, a friend and I joined the opening day party, confident we at least would catch enough trout for an evening meal, if not our five-fish-limits, in short order.

Four hours later, in spite of everyone else catching trout around us and having tried a variety of baits, we didn’t score a single fish.

On the other hand, a fellow just a few yards down the bank was casting an artificial bait, catching a scrappy trout on virtually every retrieve.

We did our best to sneak a peak at his magical lure, to no avail.

I’m still wondering just exactly what that fellow was using.

Gotta’ get me one, whatever it was.

Tightness in the WMP market has spilled into other markets, according to the DDR. Skim milk powder posted the largest price gain from the last auction largely due to limited offerings by Fonterra in the June through October contract periods. The DDR adds that the United States is the only top-five dairy exporting country to post higher milk production in 2013. More important, the 1

percent increase in U.S. milk production during Fourth Quarter 2012 contributed to strong dairy product production and stock building. “With ample stocks and lower domestic prices versus global mar-

kets, the United States is well positioned to capture market share over the next several months,” the DDR said.

No word yet on sequestration’s effect on MILC payments MIELKE, from pg. 35A Butter closed April 8 at $1.71, up 8 cents on the week and 28 cents above a year ago. Three cars sold.

The AMS butter price averaged $1.6586, up 2.9 cents.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed Friday at $1.6825, up a whopping 12.25 cents on the week. Three cars were sold. Extra Grade closed at $1.59, up 3 cents, on bids. AMS powder averaged $1.5066, down 0.3 cent, and dry whey averaged 58.16 cents, down a penny.

February dairy product production was down a little from a year ago on some products, according to the USDA’s latest Dairy Products report but February had one less day of production this year so the comparisons are skewed due to last year being a leap year.

Butter output, at 171 million pounds, was down 8.9 percent from January but 1.1 percent above a year ago. Nonfat dry milk production, at 138 million pounds, was down 3.7 percent from January and 20 percent below a year ago.

FC Stone dairy economist Bill Brooks said “the Dairy Products report showed reduced nonfat production and higher skim milk powder output. I think that will continue given the international market conditions. With more milk going into SMP and mov-

ing offshore, it will help firm up nonfat prices.”

American-type cheese, at 347 million pounds, was down 7.8 percent from January but 1.3 percent above a year ago. Italian-type cheese output, at 361 million pounds, was down 9.7 percent from January and 2.6 percent below a year ago. Total cheese output hit 857 million pounds, down 8.4 percent from January and slightly below that of a year ago.

Dairy product commercial disappearance from November 2012 through January totaled 49.2 billion pounds, up 0.6 percent from a year ago. Butter was down 14.8 percent; American cheese, up 1.7 percent; other cheese, up 1.2 percent; NDM, down 33.6 percent; and fluid milk products were off 2.1 percent.

Fluid milk consumption remains a challenge. Interestingly, Jerry Dryer’s March 29 Dairy and Food Market Analyst reports that refrigerated “alternative” beverage sales were up 15.2 percent in January versus January 2012. Alternatives to milk include soy, almond, coconut and rice-based beverages, horchata, goats’ milk and other substitutes for cows’ milk. The total alternative volume for the month was 12.9 million gallons, compared to 299 million gallons of milk.

New Zealand milk output continues to suffer from severe drought. Some analysts predict milk output in the final months of the season could be 15 to 20 percent lower than last year with seasonal totals falling 1 to 2 percent. Australia production is also trending lower due to drought.

Back home, there’s still no definitive word from the USDA regarding sequestration-affected Milk Income Loss Contract payments, however, with the USDA’s latest Ag Prices report establishing the feed cost adjuster, the February MILC payment would be 52.22 cents/cwt., according to the March 29 DairyBusiness Update.

University of Wisconsin-Madison dairy economist Brian Gould said preliminary March milk and feed price estimates indicate the March MILC payment will be about 76.96 cents. His updated MILC projections, based on milk and feed futures prices at the close of trading on March 27, show April at 67.98 cents; May, 37.16 cents; June, 16.85 cents; and nothing projected for July to September.

MIELKE, from pg. 36A lower-than-average pace, according to the National Restaurant Association. Restaurant sales are increasingly important to dairy consumption because they now account for 47 percent of total food dollars, according to the DDR, which adds that restaurants are working to increase healthy, local and sustainable menu items and “the good news for dairy is it made that list.”

It cites the focus on expanding children’s nutrition with low fat and nonfat milk as a menu option and artisanal ice creams are expected to make further headway with consumers.

The USDA announced this week that, starting April 19, the National Agricultural Statistics Service will provide a monthly estimate of U.S. milk production through September 2013, which is the end of the federal fiscal year. Last month, the USDA said it would suspend the report due to forced budget cuts from sequestration.

Snow melt poses challenges for livestock manure management As a winter of heavy snowfall and freezing rain gives way to warming temperatures, rapid melting and potential for flooding pose challenges for manure management among the more than 25,000 livestock farms in Minnesota.

Farmers who spread solid manure during winter must ensure that it doesn’t

run off with rapid snowmelt flowing to ditches, streams and other waters.

Manure-contaminated runoff not only threatens water quality, it reduces the value of manure as a crop nutrient. If possible, farmers should refrain from spreading manure during periods of rapid melt.

This may be even more important in some

areas this year because of frozen snow conditions. In January and February the snow was saturated by rain, and then froze. This prevents surface-applied manure from soaking in to the soil, and more susceptible to runoff.

Minnesota rules require a 300-foot setback from surface waters and open tile intakes for all manure spread onto frozen or snow-covered soil. However, this spring the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency encourages farmers to refrain from surface application until the snow and ice layers are melted. “We have already had several cases where manure was applied in accordance with the rule, but has negatively impacted surface and ground water a significant distance away,” said Wayne Cords, MPCA feedlot program supervisor.

If manure land application can’t wait, to reduce the impact of manure applied to the surface of wet, frozen or snow covered soil, choose the flattest field or flattest parts of fields and follow these guidelines.

• Field slope should be less than 6 percent slope for solid manure, 2 percent for liquid manure.

• Do not apply non-incorporated manure within 300 feet of surface waters. If possible apply manure at even greater setback distances.

• Do not apply in areas of the fields that contain other areas of concentrated flow. A 300-foot setback is required for intermittent streams; however, most fields also contain other areas such as grass waterways that receive concentrated flow. Keep back

far as possible from these other areas of concentrated flow.

• Choose fields that contain the most crop residue; greater than 30 percent is recommended.

• Avoid applying to fields where the furrows are full of ice and snow.

• Keep application rates low enough to avoid runoff or ponding during application.

• Choose fields that do not have adjacent non-tillable land containing areas of concentrated flow such as ravines, ditches with open side inlets, streams or dry runs. If this is not possible, stay away as far as possible from these offfield areas of concentrated flow.

Livestock farms that experience manure runoff into waters of the state must report to the Minnesota Duty Officer by calling (800) 422-0798, and take immediate action to reduce environmental impact, such as creating temporary berms to stop discharge, temporarily plugging culverts and drain tile intakes to prevent manure inflow, and soaking up liquid with absorbent material, such as hay, straw, cornstalks or wood shavings.

For more information, see the MPCA fact sheet, “Managing manure and land application during adverse weather conditions” at www.pca.state.mn.us/ publications/wq-f8-46.pdf, contact your county or MPCA feedlot staff, (log on to www.pca.state.mn.us/zihy6a1), or call the MPCA at (800) 657-3864.

Farm Rescue selected to receive $78,000 in grants Beginning on Aug. 21, the 39th session of Iowa’s highly successful Master Woodland Managers Program will begin at the Chickasaw County Conservation Board office near Ionia, Iowa.

This educational program involves 32 hours of intensive field- and classroomoriented forestry instruction designed specifically for woodland owners or managers, public land managers and natural resource consultants.

Course instruction focuses on various aspects of woodland management, including tree and shrub identification, basic tree biology, land and tree measurements, protection from insects and diseases, tree planting and pruning, wildlife management, timber marketing, and wood utilization. Both indoor classroom instruction and outdoor laboratory sessions will be used in this program.

Professionals from various agencies and organizations including Iowa State University, Iowa Department of Natural Resources, tree farmers and county conservation boards will provide instruction. A textbook and a reference notebook, plus various other technical handout materials will be provided as supporting materials.

This educational program will consist of a total of 32 hours — 6 to 10 p.m. Aug. 21, 9

a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 28, 6 to 10 p.m. Sept. 4, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 18 and 25. A $50 ($65 for couples) registration fee to help cover costs of materials is required, and graduates are expected to contribute at least 30 hours of public service after completing the course. Service projects could include a variety of activities designed to improve and expand tree resources in Iowa (assisting with 4-H projects, community tree plantings, forestry field days, etc.).

The Master Woodland Managers Program is sponsored by ISU Forestry Extension, Iowa DNR Bureau of Forestry, the Iowa Tree Farm Committee and County Conservation boards. Since 1988, when the program was initiated, 934 individuals have graduated from this program and more than 22,000 public service hours have been contributed.

Anyone interested in receiving more program information and an application form should contact Jesse Randall, ISU Extension Forester, 339 Science II, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa, 50011-1021, call (515) 294-1168 or email randallj@iastate.edu.

Rescue through the Walmart Foundation’s North Dakota and Iowa State Giving Programs, will be used for a truck purchase and general operations.

“Walmart is a major sponsor of Farm Rescue, committed to helping farm families and rural communities,” said Bill Gross, Farm Rescue president and founder. “Walmart has donated more than $300,000 to the organization’s mission and their employees play an important role as active volunteers of Farm Rescue. We are very thankful to receive this funding which allows us to help more farm families during times of unexpected crises.”

“The Walmart Foundation is proud to support Farm Rescue and their efforts to help farm families,” said Ryan Irsik, Walmart senior manager of public affairs. “Through these grants, we are hopeful that Farm Rescue and their volunteers can continue to provide assistance to farm families in the

region who without their help might lose their family farm.”

The contributions to Farm Rescue were made possible through the Walmart Foundation’s State Giving Program. Through this program, the Walmart Foundation supports organizations that create opportunities so people can live better. The Walmart Foundation State Giving Program strives to award grants that have a long-lasting, positive impact on communities across the United States Farm Rescue was founded in 2006 and has helped more than 200 families since its inception.

Hard-working art

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondents Tim King (story) and Jan King (photo)

Jim Daly’s workshop, Royalton, Minn.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

im Daly’s paintings sparkle. They dance. They J work hard. Daly, an Ohio artist who has found a home near Royalton, in Morrison County, Minn.,

says he never intended to develop a particular style.

“I just wanted to capture what I saw,” he said.

In Ohio, Daly’s neighbors were Amish. His painting of an Amish schoolyard is yellow and golden and green with a flash of scarlet — the schoolhouse — in the background. The Amish children enter the painting from the shaded green woods through a gate.

They move slowly and are relaxed in the cool shade.

Once they pass through the gate they enter warm honey-colored sunshine and they fly.

“Jim is good at showing motion,” his wife, Katie, said.

He is also good at showing wonder. His painting “Fireflies” makes you laugh with delight. In it he

again uses light and darkness to capture the wonder of a child discovering fireflies. How does he do that with simple old paint?

“One of my favorite paintings is ‘First Kiss’,” Jim said. “I was inspired by the Impressionist painters.”

The Impressionists understood light like Daly does but they didn’t paint anything like “First Kiss.”

Those of you who remember your first kiss will be impressed with, and understand, the sun beams shining down on that young couple.

That is another thing about Daly’s paintings.

Although they would make attractive decorations to hang on your wall, each is more than a pretty picture. They communicate something to the viewer.

The idea underlying “Woodcarver’s Epiphany” takes your breath away. And if you’ve ever repaired old and fallen fence lines you’ll recognize “Whitey.”

“He’s been working all morning and he wants to pull that last fence post before the rain comes,” Jim said. “A lot of people look at that painting and say, ‘I know who that is’.”

All of these paintings are on Daly’s website, www.sciotarts.com. So are his hand-carved stools, canoe paddles and large murals. What are missing are Jim’s portraits.

“Jim likes to draw portraits,” Katie says, as she shows off those of two grandchildren.

Each portrait has a large central drawing of the child. That drawing is encircled by four or five smaller drawings of the grandchild in a baseball uniform, at a birthday party, etc. The drawings are from favorite photos.

If you’d like to commission a portrait or a painting you can reach Jim at (320) 584-8171. ❖

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
