OPINION

On April 3, the USDA released overdue results of its years-in-the-making “Oversight of the Beef Research and Promotions Board’s Activities.” The review, claimed the report from the USDA’s Office of Inspector General, proved that the checkoff “complied with legislation.” That’s a remarkable statement in light of the following admission just six pages later: “We found that AMS” — USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service, the oversight agency for all 20 federal commodity checkoffs — “had not developed its management procedures to adequately make determinations that the beef checkoff funds were collected, distributed and expended in accordance with the Act and Order and to ensure transparency.” In fact, it’s worse than that: After nearly 27 years and $1.7 billion, the AMS has never audited the beef checkoff to see if the producer money was collected and spent in “accordance” to the law to “ensure transparency.” See GUEBERT, pg. 4

products or new markets goes directly to their pockets, not cowboy saddlebags. The cowboys know it. That’s why more than 96 percent of ’em choose not to join the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, the meatpacker-heavy group that has been awarded about $1.3 billion of all checkoff money since 1986. The NCBA claims to be the “national trade association representing U.S. cattle producers,” yet its own membership numbers, if believed, show just “28,000 individual members” out of an American cowboy universe that tops 700,000. This Big Beef Club is one of those unique, two-faced organizations you see only in American agriculture. While it cannot exist without — by law — the apolitical, $50 million or so of beef checkoff money it receives each year, 82.5 percent of its operating budget, it is purely a political organization known on Capitol Hill and state capitals for its sledge hammer lobbying. Those lobbying efforts extend to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, too.

Mysteries abound in baseball and beef GUEBERT, from pg. 3 Not even your church’s Sunday School leader gets that kind of pass. So how does the USDA know that the NCBA complied with checkoff laws if it never audited the NCBA’s books? Why do cattlemen continue to support a program that sends part of their hard-earned income to a political organization far more in tune with packers than producers?

Why did 2.9 million fans pay to go to Wrigley Field last year to watch one of baseball’s legendary bad teams lose 101 out of 162 games? It’s a mystery — although that last one, I’m guessin’, might have something to do with beer. Alan Guebert’s “Farm and Food File” is published weekly in more than 70 newspapers in North America.

Aerial ag application no fly-by-night industry “We do initiate the turn-around of our aircraft,” Newberg said, “but once aligned, GPS again kicks in keeping us directly on course. It really steps up the efficiency of each airplane, plus you’re not waiting for a flag man at the end of the field.” Newberg’s rig carries a 66-foot-wide boom. “With electrostatic nozzles we can get as low as one gallon of product per acre; with conventional nozzles our work is mostly 2 to 5 gallons per acre depending upon the product.” These rigs can definitely cover a lot of ground. His turboprop with 800-gallon tank doing one gallon per acre work can routinely do upwards of 2,000 acres in a 10-hour day. The electrostatic nozzle system creates negatively charged spray droplets that envelope the plants from the bottom sides of the leaves. The net result is better penetration, and that generally means a better “kill” of problem weeds. Today aerial application accounts for about 25 percent of the delivery of crop production products in American agriculture. You get “better coverage than ground rigs and no mechanical damage to crops, plus much faster coverage of the crops, regardless the weather, are the benefits driving this business,” Newberg said.

He said that license requirements to be a certified aerial applicator are detailed and specific. And that’s OK with Newberg “because we are professionals and we’re dealing with tremendously expensive inputs that farmers put into each acre. So there is no room for error.” Professional training is a constant throughout a pilot’s career. They must attend 12 hours of continuing education classes each year, and are required by law to keep detailed records of every application they make, field by field. The Ag Tractor turboprops used by Newberg list over $750,000 when equipped with 800-gallon tanks and GPS navigation. “Depending upon whether you’re looking for new or used, and what size tank and engine, you can spend from $100,000 for an older, radial engine airplane on up to $1.3 million for a new 802 Ag Tractor with 800-gallon tank and GPS navigation systems,” he said.

THE LAND, APRIL 26, 2013

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Aerial application of agricultural chemicals dates back to 1921 when airplanes were first used to protect crops in the Dust Bowl era of the Great Depression. At that time nearly all products applied by airplanes were dusting materials, Ross Newberg hence the term “crop dusters.” This slang is still around, but it certainly doesn’t do justice to the turboprop-powered rigs with 800gallon tanks delivering products 5 feet above crop canopy at upwards of 135 mph. Guided by GPS technology, aerial applicators perform these incredible applications with virtually zero overlap. “GPS guidance is terrific,” said Ross Newberg, who operates Aerial Applications Co. of Atwater, Minn., with his dad, Curt. Once your aircraft is loaded and you’ve cleared the runway, GPS directs your aircraft directly to the field to be sprayed. When the plane reaches the corridor of that particular field, GPS also automatically activates the system and does an immediate “shut off ” when the aircraft reaches the end of the field.

From the Fields: What a difference a year makes “still a ways away from touching the field.” Once that time does come, Messner knows that “things are going to have to move fast.” He’s looking forward to getting there — and soon.

By KRISTIN KVENO The Land Correspondent

The Brandts Ada, Minn.

The saying goes that April showers bring May flowers, but what does eight inches of snow in one April day bring? Danny Brandt Apparently the answer is more snow. That’s the forecast that Danny Brandt dreaded hearing, but more snow was indeed headed for his farm. When The Land spoke with Brandt on April 15, he reported that 20-mileper-hour wind gusts substantially hindered visibility in the Ada area. With eight inches of fresh snow on the ground, and more forecasted for later that week, getting into the field will have to wait. While the ground may not be ready for planting, the machinery on the farm certainly is. “The corn planter is all done and ready to go,” Brandt said. He has checked and rechecked all his equipment. The livestock on the Brandt farm are a bright spot this year, as he reported that this has been “one of the best winters for farrowing.” He admitted that the weather is “kind of depressing,” but is pleased at the steady rate the snow is melting — when not interrupted by the addition of more snowfall, that is. He said that some local farmers are panicking over the weather and everyone is sick of snow. He knows that once the weather turns around things are going to get busy quickly. Brandt said he’s using this unexpected time before planting to take his family to Lake of the Woods for “the opportunity to have one last family hurrah before hitting the field.” They weren’t going to be leaving yet for several days but his daughter, Hannah, was already packed and ready to catch some walleyes with her dad. While Brandt would love to be out in the field, getting to spend a little quality time with the family — and catching a fish or two — isn’t too shabby either.

The Laubenthals Swea City, Iowa

The Johnsons Starbuck, Minn. “Really quiet.” That statement by Scott Johnson sums up this year’s planting season thus far. When The Land talked with Scott Johnson Johnson on April 15 he noted that “everything is white again.” Snow isn’t the only hold-up in getting into the field: “The 10-day forecast doesn’t look like it’s going to warm up.” Johnson predicted that it would be “at least two weeks before getting in the field.” That’s a far cry from 2012 and 2011 when Johnson planted early, but he was quick to point out that 2010 was a wet year that resulted in laterthan-usual planting. “Guys might look at last year and get worried,” he said, comparing the previous two springs to what is looking to be a later-than-average planting scenario. While Johnson waits to get in the field he has “a few last-minute things to do.” He continued to fine-tune the equipment and prepare for when the time comes that field work breaks loose. More rain was forecasted for the week ahead in the Starbuck area. While the precipitation isn’t field work friendly, Johnson knows that he’s got

some time before this planting season is truly considered late.

The Messners Northfield, Minn. With an estimated four to five inches of snowfall within the last week on his Northfield farm, Chris Messner said Chris Messner simply that “it’s Mother Nature.” Mother Nature may not be cooperating so far this spring, but he hopes that changes soon. Talking to The Land April 16, Messner said that “just getting to normal (temperatures) would be nice.” “Everything’s pretty much ready to go,” he said, regarding planting equipment. He estimated that he’s at least two weeks away from getting in the field; that’s the best-case scenario. Messner said if he can get corn planted by the middle of May, he’ll feel good. There are some signs that spring is actually doing what it’s supposed to be doing on the Messner farm, as the frost is less abundant in the last two weeks. Flooding isn’t a concern as the water seems to be soaking in. Messner hopes that this cold spring isn’t an indicator of a cool growing season. With temperatures expected to be in the mid-30s, he believes that he’s

Cinco de Mayo

Snow is gone in northwestern Iowa but that doesn’t mean the fields are ready to plant. Warm tempera- Charlie Laubenthal tures seem to be absent from any forecast that Charlie Laubenthal has seen. “We just need some heat,” he said. Rain was forecasted for later in the week, so it’s just a waiting game for when the fields will be ready. The Land spoke to Laubenthal on April 15. He reported “no standing water” in his fields but, with temperatures only in the 30s to 40s with freezing at night, the conditions aren’t trending toward a warm-up. “Sunshine is pretty slim,” he said. Looking back fondly to last year he said it was “the nicest year that I can remember.” Any more measurable amount of rain would push planting off to the first of May, said Laubenthal. He usually has corn in the ground by April 20 but, despite fields being in good shape, that’s not going to be an option this year. And so Laubenthal is “just waiting” and catching up on paperwork and other machinery maintenance. “Everybody is ready to go,” he said. As a seed dealer he knows that if the weather doesn’t improve soon, some of his customers may want to change seed based on maturity. Laubenthal himself doesn’t usually change to earlier maturity seed on his farm, as he feels that the growing season “usually averages out” — a later spring hopefully leading to a later fall. Whatever the forecast, Laubenthal waits for his time to get out in the field and get his crop planted. He’s hopeful that time is coming sooner than later. ❖

Cover story: Precision accuracy by the inch planting and gets his planter fitted with the technologies he wants, those planters tend to stay operational longer. In essence the technology, plus the new sense of importance of proper metering, seems to encourage farmers to do planter inspections on an annual basis. Planter inspections cost a few bucks: $18 to $30 per row are ranges Hettver mentioned. To get your meters tested on a “test stand” costs about $25 per meter on a vacuum test; $35 on a finger meter. If your local implement dealer doesn’t have the equipment for testing planters, you can check with Precision Planting dealers. “As Precision Planting dealers we’re

required to have a meter tester on location. We put our meter tester in a trailer, so we can either test at our own farm or haul to the farmer’s shop where we can help with getting the units off, run the meter tests, show the performance and talk about any replacement parts that might be needed,” he said. Hettver ventured that less than 15 to 20 percent of farmers are on-board with precision planting. “But because of everincreasing costs per acre to grow a crop, the potential yield bumps from precision planting will quickly ramp up usage of this technology,” he said.

Continuous row-byrow information direct from the planter. Instant information at your fingertips in the tractor cab. This kind of advanced technology is helping farmers Kevin Hettver improve productivity and feed the world. DeGraff, Minn., farmer Kevin Hettver not only utilizes such technology, he also sells and provides training for it, by way of a company named Precision Planting and their 20-20 Monitoring System. The system “tells you several things on the go such as seed populations for each row, singulations by the row, and seed spacing within each row,” Hettver said. He said they can also add a “field view” module which provides mapping in your tractor cab as you plant the field — it’s incredibly accurate, taking five data points per second per row. “That tool on my planter last year caught an error the first hour of planting that might have gone unnoticed for my entire planting season. So it was a ‘game saver’ for me right off the bat,” Hettver said. Ease of use is the beauty of the 20-20 System, he said. It uses touch-pad screens with a monitor that provides three levels of data. If, for example, you click on singulation, the system shows singulation by the row. With a 24-row planter it collects 24 data points and displays this on a bar graph on the monitor so you can read precisely the planting accuracy row-by-row. Level 2 data lets you screen individual rows visually, seeing actual seed drop in any particular row. If there are skips or multiples, the unit

tells the planter operator to stop his rig and check the seed meter to visually see what’s causing the problem, such as a seed kernel caught in one of the cells. You’ll spend some money to get into precision planting. Hettver said the cost is $5,100 for the monitoring base kit. A finishing kit — which lets the planter “talk” to the monitor — ranges from $300 on up to $1,900 depending upon the size of the planter. There are a few additional apps available depending upon what degree of “perfection” a grower would like to have. The 20-20 Precision Planting system is “color neutral” meaning it works with any brand of planter. Hettver said that his typical conversation with a farmer starts with just two questions. • What’s your planting performance currently? • What would you like your planting performance to look like in the future? From there he develops a plan that makes sense economically and best fits their crop production strategies, he said, adding “we can piece in additional apps at a later time. What we’re doing is getting each producer to take a long-term view of the planting operation he/she wants to have and then helping develop a system to get them there.” Hettver asks lots of questions because each system, in reality, is “tailor made” for that particular farmer, his planter and his ambitions down the road. The kind of GPS and radar system a producer has makes a difference as to what kind of harnessing kits are needed to tie into the total precision planting package. Depending upon the size and fit of a grower’s current planter, Hettver said he can adapt that planter to whatever technology a grower might want. He said that once a farmer “buys into” precision

larger storms than normal are happening, but at the same time fewer smaller storms, he said. He reminded of the wet periods of 2008-10 being followed by extremely dry seasons in both 2011 and 2012. “These sharp contrasts in moisture over these short time frames are unusual,” said Todey, predicting there will be little El Niño or La Niña impact on Midwest weather this summer.

Old practice taking root with new pioneers cover crops has begun to surge again, driven by many interacting factors including increasing input costs, cover crop cost-share programs, new GPSguidance technologies that facilitate new ways of using cover crops and the arrival of radishes as a novel cover crop with few residue management challenges. “It’s going to take some time and effort to figure out how to get millions of acres of cover crops planted and managed effectively,” Miller said. “To make cover crop use mainstream, many more farmers will have to adapt the practice to their farms, not just adopt the practice.” Through conservation programs like the Environmental Quality Incentives Program, Miller said the NRCS is working to help farmers adapt those practices to their farms. “We’re ramping up our efforts here in Minnesota to ensure we can assist producers who are interested in implementing systems that improve soil health,” Miller said. “Cover crop management today isn’t just a revisiting of old practices abandoned by the fathers and grandfathers of today’s farmers,” Miller said. “Innovative large-scale grain farmers have started integrating cover crops into their production systems in ways that were never even considered before.” Miller said cover crops used in soil health management systems help build organic matter, increase water holding capacity, suppress pests, diseases and weeds, and offer other onfarm benefits. The benefits of improved soil health

extend beyond the farm. “Producers who improve the health of their soil are also increasing its water-holding capacity, which reduces runoff that can cause flooding and improved infiltration keeps nutrients and sediment from

being carried off-site into nearby lakes, rivers and streams,” he said. This article was submitted by the Department of Natural U.S. Resources Natural Resources Conservation Service. ❖

It’s something old and something new. It’s something borrowed and something ... well, green. Cover cropping, a traditional conservation practice considered old-fashioned by many in modern agriculture, is being “borrowed” and used in new ways by innovative farmers to improve their soil’s health — and with it, the health of their businesses’ bottom line. “Today’s agricultural pioneers have figured out how to make cover crops work on their farms, with some impressive results,” said Doug Miller, a soil health specialist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service in Jordan, Minn. “But innovation is the key to maximize the effective use of covers. ... Everyone’s situation is different; cover crops aren’t a ‘one-size-fits-all’ practice that can be done the same way on every farm.” Miller said that while the basic principles of cover crops may stay the same, the best genetics, establishment and termination methods for an agricultural operation can vary widely with respect to objectives, location, weather conditions, crops, soil types and more. “Before World War II, most farmers included forage legumes like alfalfa and red clover in crop rotations ahead of nitrogen-demanding crops like corn. Forage grasses and small grains were also commonly used to curb soil erosion,” Miller said. Over the last five years, interest in

Conservationist: Wetland banking process a ‘win-win’ By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Mitigating wetlands is a topic that stirs emotions whenever farmers and conservationists — especially Natural Resources Conservation Service staff members — get into the same room. Minnesota State Conservationist Dan Baloun Don Baloun, an NRCS employee, knows this as well as anyone. Baloun tells farmers that “every farm could use more conservation” but he recognizes that it’s a complicated issue. Q: How precise can you be when talking wetland mitigation? Baloun: The focus is the Ag Wetland Bank that the Board of Water and Soil Resources and NRCS have set up in Minnesota. Wetlands have always been part of the Minnesota landscape and often a troublesome issue with many Minnesota farmers. The 1996 farm bill allowed for mitigation of wetlands but it just wasn’t exercised in Minnesota and many other states. Now, however, we have this wonderful opportunity because BWSR has the ability to implement these wetland mitigations. Today we talked about those troublesome farmed wetlands that farmers will farm and (are) now wanting them to become wetlands again. These are wetlands you wouldn’t recognize because farmers have often done some

drainage to make them cropable. This mitigation program gives farmers the opportunity to “bank” those wetlands so they’re not a nuisance for farming. More importantly this gives the opportunity to make a better wetland — an enhanced wetland — which is a win-win for folks who like to see wildlife, be that the song birds, the shore birds and other wildlife. When that happens it’s a win for ag and it’s a win for our Minnesota landscape. Q: What are the tools to mitigate a wetland? What happens? Baloun: BWSR looks at each site; makes an evaluation of what needs to be done, total wetland banking credits available for the acres being offered and, if the landowner agrees, BWSR draws up the easement. The landowner may need to get a bulldozer in there and create some scrapes so that spot can hold water longer, hold back the undesirable vegetation such as Reed’s canary grass, and create the open water area so the migratory waterfowl have a place to visit each spring and fall. Q: You’ve talked about trading wetlands, not just on your own farmland but perhaps even with landowners several miles away. How comfortable are you with these “wetland swaps” widely separated? Baloun: A great question that we’re working with right now. We’re striving to get an Ag Wetland Bank in every one of BWSR’s 10 districts across the state. Currently some districts have zero acres, or just a few

acres of wetland banking. However now we need to get a wetland bank established in each district, or adjacent district. So if a landowner can’t bank his wetlands acre for acre within his own district he may have to go 1.5 acres to 1 acre banking in an adjoining district. That example would mean buying an extra half-acre of credit. Folks do not want to see the wetlands moved from southern Minnesota to northern Minnesota. So we are hoping this disincentive will encourage the development of the wetland bank in each district. Q: Tiling continues to ramp up across the agricultural landscape of Minnesota. How does this impact wetland banking? Baloun: I certainly understand why farmers tile. It can often mean a 15- to 20-percent difference in yield and, with strong commodity prices, the economic incentive is obvious. The return on tile can be quick. But we need to think our way through what’s happening. With more and more tile we know we are increasing the phosphorous and nitrogen discharge into surface water. So let’s look at those tile intakes and tile outlets and see if we can’t do some tertiary treatments, be that bioreactors and saturated buffers. Yes, I understand some farmers don’t feel comfortable with these remedies but we need to do something. We have a multitude of conservation practices and conservation systems that each farmer can customize to their needs. See BALOUN, pg. 11

Regard and respect what they are doing. Tilers are a key to drainage and wetland mitigation issues because they are trained in drainage and water management. The ability to survey your grounds and install a gated-pipe drainage system (in-line valves that can be closed to store ground water as needed) is perhaps invaluable in the future. If 2012 taught us anything it perhaps taught us that we can be guilty of over-tiling, too. I’m encouraging our Minnesota tilers to become “one-stop shops” in water management for your farms. They know the different options for treatment of your tile outlets, can offer wetland mitigation credits, etc. Q: What is your challenge to farmers? Baloun: Come into our offices. Get informed as to what wetland mitigations can provide. Stay on top of these issues. And even if it’s only one or two conservation practices a year we’re making progress. We have the Environmental Quality Incentive Programs to help cost-share on some of these projects. If you’ve got $2,000 to invest into a practice we’ll turn that into a $10,000 ... $20,000 ... even $50,000 project if that’s what works best for both the farmland and the taxpayers.

And it’s simply a private transaction between you and the seller. Once an agreement is worked out, it’s signed and sent by you as the buyer to BWSR. It’s logged in as an established easement. The owner of that wetland credit which you just purchased gets the check. If it was, for example, a 4.86-acre credit which you just purchased you now have the legal right to drain an additional 4.86 acres of your farmland. Q: Minnesota has a tradition of environmental protection. Is this banking of wetlands unique to the state? Baloun: Iowa was ahead of us in wetland mitigation initially. But Minnesota is the only state with a state-wide program because of BWSR and the foresight of our state government, particularly with Gov. Dayton’s executive order which directs that there be “No Net Loss” of wetland. We have taken off with this initiative, and Minnesota is being watched for how well the ag banking initiative will work. Minnesota farmers are tiling at record rates so NRCS is very busy. Last year we had 12,000 1026s (tiling permits) which was four times more than most adjoining states. We are encouraging farmers to get to our office and complete the AD-1026 process well ahead of a tile project. A one-year lead time would be great. Farmers will have to be patient. What I told the audience today is that if you’re thinking of tiling in 2014 come into our office now. Farmers with determinations from prior years can put those to work without waiting for us. We’ve got the setback distances now posted. Your tiler will know those setbacks.

THE LAND, APRIL 26, 2013

BALOUN, from pg. 10 Q: With $8,000 to $10,000 land values, what’s the incentive to do a wetland bank? Baloun: Farmers can do what we call self-mitigation. They don’t want to buy into a wetland bank because of cost, or distance, or the transaction paperwork. They can tile their wetland acres and move those acres to another spot that was prior converted or drained, perhaps by their grandfather. In essence they would establish their own bank. That’s easy. The cost is zero. You’re doing it on your own farm. Yes, it would still have to be looked at by your local Soil & Water Conservation District/Local Government Unit and NRCS personnel. Once approved, you can develop your own mitigation plan to show you have met the functions and values needed and you’re good to go. Sounds simple but it does need a wetland biologist or your local technicians to verify and certify the project. Let’s expand the thinking. If you’ve established your own bank and you’ve got 40 acres but need only five acres, now you’ve got 35 acres of credits you could sell to other landowners. Today we’re seeing the price of Ag Wetland Bank acres going from $7,000 to a high of $14,000 an acre. So this option does offer the farmer reasonable profit and the opportunity to improve the mitigation bank so all the interested folks in wetlands will see this opportunity as a winwin and we will have replaced or even enhanced the mitigated wetland functions and values. Q: How do you go about the process of buying or selling wetland credits? Baloun: If you are a buyer and looking for a wetland bank, BWSR has the available wetland credits posted on its website. You make a call to that particular seller which is posted by name and phone number.

In order to maximize economic return, a general guideline for growers in Min-

nesota is to stick with the planned seed choices until May 20 to 25. When planting occurs after May 20 to 25, it is wise to switch to hybrids that are five to seven relative maturity units earlier than full season for the region.

nation. However, once the last week of April is reached, corn planting should generally occur as soon as soils are dry enough, regardless of soil temperature. If corn is planted into soils that are too wet, the advantages of an earlier planting date can be negated due to soil compaction around the seed zone, which can result in poor growth of nodal roots and reduced uptake of water and nutrients.

“When the alarm rings,” she said, “the first thing I say to myself is ‘This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it’” (Psalm 118:24). She sings to her heart what her mind and body may not necessarily feel as she lets out the dog, attends to her young children and thinks about the day’s tasks. No matter what the day may hold, she chooses joy and thanks. Sarah Young is a popular devotional author whose words are based on Scripture and written from Jesus’ point of view (I, Me, Mine). On April 11, when Minnesota and other parts of our nation were experiencing snow and ice that looked more like Christmas than Easter, her words for that day were especially apt. Within her book, “Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence,” she wrote, “Begin the day with open hands of faith, ready to receive all that I am pouring into this brief portion of your life. Be careful not to complain about anything, even the weather, since I am the Author of your circumstances. The best way to handle unwanted situations is to thank Me for them.” There will never be a shortage of unwanted situations in life, and the more we try to grasp for control over them, the more futile our efforts. Whatever the season or our situation, all can be well when we choose to respond with trust and thanks.

Ephemeral and early describe a wild flower named Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis). It’s the first to bloom and stays only briefly before it goes into dormancy. The blossoms are pure white with golden stamens and last about one day. What a joy to come upon a colony of these delicate white flowers in early spring. They shoot up through the decaying leaves in two spots in our woods and make a collective statement of importance that IN THE GARDEN seems to shout — take notice, we are here By Sharon Quale and so is spring! poke their pointy little green noses This perennial wild flower likes living in through some sunny spots where the snow has the woods and has a fleshy rhizome (underground melted.

The buds are swelling on the trees and as a dye. The eight- to 10-inch flower stalk is protected shrubs, the pussy willows are wearing their new by a single, large, fancy lobed leaf. The foliage is visible until late summer and then goes dormant until it miraculously appears again next spring. A curious thing about Bloodroot is the seed is often spread by ants. The ants take them to their nests, eat part of the seed that is delicious to them and leave the rest to germinate in that rich growing medium. The interconnected ecological system of plants and animals never ceases to fascinate. Wild flowers are usually best left undisturbed in their native environment. That means don’t pick or dig them up without permission. Many states have lists of endangered, threatened and special concern species. You can request a threatened species list by contacting your state Department of Natural Resources.

Preen OK on asparagus bed weeds or any already growing bad guys, but it will halt germination of new weed seeds. Using salt as a weed control remedy was popular before modern herbicides became available but salt may eventually harm your asparagus. It can make the soil surface impermeable and runoff can damage nearby plants. Before the spears emerge, an application of an herbicide like glyphosate can be used. Spears that have come up will suffer damage so there is a narrow window of time to get this done. Sharon Quale is a master gardener from central Minnesota.

Grain Outlook

Livestock Angles

Grain Angles

Corn market short on fresh inputs

Demand, late spring add uneasiness

New columnist works the ‘Angles’

The following market analysis is for the week ending April 19. CORN — The week was one of consolidation, trading entirely within last week’s range. The market was short on fresh inputs, although as the week progressed river issues became a topic of discussion. Rain in the eastern Corn Belt has raised the likelihood that high water on the Illinois and Mississippi rivers could dampen enthusiasm for taking delivery against the May contract. This concern prompted the MayJuly inverse to pull back and pressure the nearby contracts. If grain can’t get to the Gulf, it may make more bushels avail- PHYLLIS NYSTROM able to domestic users. CHS Hedging Inc. St. Paul On the flip side, rain makes grain; but standing in the way is first getting the seed in the ground. Corn planting progress was 2 percent complete versus 7 percent on average as of April 14 and it’s only expected to reach 6 percent by April 21 compared to 16 percent on average for this week. The average as of April 28 is 31 percent. How likely are we to come near that average? The market has not yet taken late planting to heart. If there is still a large area waiting to roll when May arrives, adding risk premium to new crop becomes more likely. Weekly export sales were 15.8 million bushels for old crop and 0.6 million for new crop. This was the third week out of the last four that sales were above the weekly minimum to reach the U.S. Department of Agriculture forecast. The sales report was a non-factor for price direction since we are still 54 percent behind last year. Brazil surpassed the United States as the largest

Livestock markets continue to struggle as demand for meat and a late spring seem to be the main themes behind the uneasiness in both of these markets. The cattle market continues to slip under the lack of movement in the boxed beef trade. Once again as beef cutouts move over the $190 per hundredweight level basis choice, the movement of beef slows to levels that are disappointing. This continues to reflect a lack of domestic demand for beef at the higher prices.There has been association that the late spring has hurt demand as it has delayed the grilling season. The only argument to that proposition is that since last fall every time we have exceeded $190/cwt. in JOE TEALE the choice beef the demand slowed. Broker This indicates that price of beef is the Great Plains Commodity main deterrent to demand. Afton, Minn. The argument for months by most in the trade has been the supply of cattle, which obviously has been not been entirely correct since we are now moving out of the tighter numbers. This is not to say that the number of cattle on feed is lower than last year. However when looking at the supply-demand fundamentals, demand is more elastic than supply. On April 19, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released the monthly Cattle on Feed Report which indicated the following: on-feed as of April 1, at 95 percent; placements in March, 106 percent; marketed in March, 92 percent. All of the numbers are compared to last year. This report is a little unfriendly since the placement number is well above the highest pre-report estimate and the on-feed number and the marketed number are either higher or lower than the average guesses. Because of this report, any rallies are likely to be disappointing unless there is a major change in the underlying fundamentals.

Editor’s note: We welcome Mark Greenwood into the fold as the new “Grain Angles” columnist. He is replacing Tom Neher who has decided to move on. Greenwood will actually be one of a team of AgStar experts to deliver grain marketing insight under the “Grain Angles” header. At AgStar, we’re excited to continue the “Grain Angles” column. Going forward, to maximize the insight and value we’re bringing you in every issue, we will be featuring several of our grain experts. Our goal of these columns is to deliver helpful information that can hopefully be applied to your operations and in the long run add value to your operation. We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to provide this in The Land. MARK GREENWOOD AgStar Senior VP of Like many of you, over the last few Relationship Management days, much of my time has been Rochester, Minn. spent watching the news and learning more about the tragedy that occurred in Boston. Our thoughts are with all of the individuals and families who were impacted by the tragic events that occurred at the Boston Marathon. And just like many industries, agriculture is most certainly global. In the days following the tragedy, we saw markets impacted by the events. These are variables of doing business that we just can’t control. There are, however, other facets of our businesses that we can control. Managing these risks is important, especially as we’re approaching a year as uncertain as this one. In the grain industry we have had good prices for the past few years but we have also seen cost of production virtually double since 2007. From a lender’s point of view, we are focused on working capital, which is your current assets minus your current liabilities, and how much liquidity you have to manage your operation.

Grower selling of soybeans has essentially stopped

TEALE, from pg. 18 Producers should be aware of these underlying fundamentals and protect inventories as needed. The hog market has attempted to turn the corner and rally as it normally does from a seasonal basis at this time of the year. Unfortunately it has been a struggle for the market to gain any ground from a price standpoint. Despite the fact that pork has moved fairly well, there appears to be enough live inventory available to meet the current needs. This is evident in the pork cutouts which have been unable to substantially advance in recent weeks. This is keeping the packer a bit defensive in their cash bids.

Of course weather has been blamed for the delay in the seasonal advance since the grilling season is delayed. Although demand for pork products has been good, the supplies of pork have been enough to offset this better demand. From a value standpoint, pork is more affordable per pound than other meats. Given that the weather will eventually improve, hog prices may have the ability to improve into the summer months.

GREENWOOD, from pg. 18 Having adequate working capital allows you to make better decisions regarding your operation. During times of profitability it is tempting to spend the excess working capital and continue to grow your operation. This is fine as long as you also have adequate working capital to withstand a down-turn in the markets and losses on your operation. One challenge I’m seeing producers face today in managing their working capital and the desire to grow their operation is real estate values. The cost of land is one of the primary components of the cost of production doubling in five years. Purchasing land can be a difficult decision to make. We believe real estate lending and purchases should be based on long-term sustainable land values and evaluated as part of a client’s entire operation, including production expenses. This sustainable value is tied to the production of the land being financed as well as the producer’s proven yield history.

It’s important to be considerate of our current environment. While we don’t believe we are on the verge of a real estate bubble, there likely will be a correction at some point. Obviously no one can be sure of when or what that will look like, but what we can be confident in, is that producers are in the best spots to manage through the correction. That’s why strategies like the sustainable land value are so important to your operation. Sound risk management plans and improved risk-bearing ability remain critical to withstand a correction in real estate values. In the end, understanding all the variables is vital to your operation. Right now, we are in times of extreme volatility and we are preparing for the unexpected. Practicing sound risk management and having adequate liquidity are critical to the success of any operation.

Hogs waiting for spring grilling rally

However, given the state of the domestic economy, a large sustained rally is not anticipated until there is some improvement in disposable income. Therefore, producers should consider protecting inventory if profitable situations arise. ❖

crush needs to be down 20 percent from last year in order not to exceed the current estimate. The largest April-to-August decline in the last 40 years is only 12 percent. New crop beans crumpled on planting dates. If planting is “late” the assumption is intended corn acres may be switched to beans. We have heard chatter in the southern Plains that more milo will be planted this year because of dry conditions. China reentered the buying arena this week when the USDA announced 252,000 mt of new crop beans sold to China.Argentina’s Buenos Aires Cereals Exchange latest crop projection was unchanged at 48.5 mmt compared to the USDA’s 51.5 mmt. Harvest there is 36 percent complete. Beginning June 1,Argentina’s diesel will include 10 percent biodiesel, up from the current 7 percent. In Brazil, ABIOVE lowered their bean estimate from 82.3 mmt to 82.1 mmt. China is forecasting beans acres to fall 8.5 percent this year with corn acres up 4.1 percent. Outside market influences were mostly negative this week with China’s gross domestic product for the first quarter at 7.7 percent, down from the fourth quarter’s 7.9 percent. OUTLOOK:The job of the market is to ration beans and meal.This does not look like it has been accomplished with nearby inverses, no country movement and firm basis levels. Downside should be limited in old crop. July soybeans were 3 1/4 cents higher this week at $13.82 1/2 while November was kicked 18 3/4 cents lower on concerns that beans acres could increase with delayed planting. July soybeans continue to trend higher with support down at $13.36 per bushel. New crop beans will struggle if the rain continues.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans rallied this week in spite of speculation over how much bean/meal demand may be reduced if bird flu continues to spread in China. Grower selling has essentially stopped and processor ownership beyond a few weeks is tight. To many it is a foregone conclusion that South American soybeans and possibly meal will come into the United States this summer. It’s uncertain if that will be adequate to meet U.S. demand. Remember U.S. meal export commitments have already nearly met the USDA forecast. Weekly export sales for old crop were 12.5 million bushels, still well above the 4 million needed per week to achieve the USDA projection. Total commitments are up 13 percent from last year. New crop sales totaled 8.4 million bushels. Meal sales were outstanding at 266,000 mt, bringing total export commitments to 8,389 mt which is 38 percent ahead of last year. This year’s meal sales are forecast by the USDA to be down 1 percent this year. The National Oilseed Processors Association crush report for March was 137.1 million bushels. NOPA crush only needs to average 107 million bushels per month to reach the USDA figure. This means that for the last five months of the marketing year, both crush and meal exports have to be at extremely low levels historically;

The Buenos Aires Cereals Exchange in Argentina updated crop production forecast remained the same at 25.0 million metric tons versus the USDA’s 26.5 mmt estimate. Harvest is pegged at nearly 32 percent complete. There is chatter that corn demand in China could be down 2 mmt if the bird flu problem extends into May. The April 19 Cattle on Feed report showed on-feed at 95 percent, placements at 106 percent and marketings at 92 percent. The report was bearish for cattle and bullish for feed usage. OUTLOOK: July corn fell 8 1/4 cents to $6.33 for the week while December was only 3 cents lower at $5.47 due to planting delays. Weather will become a headline trading factor as we move into May with heavy rains this month in the eastern belt and wintery conditions still plaguing the western belt. If May weather straightens out, we know that the crop can get planted quickly by the American farmer. Resistance in July corn is in the $6.50 area and support near $6.15 per bushel.

Direct payments reduced by 20 percent in ACRE the 2013 crop year; however, there is virtually no chance of CCPs for the 2013 crop year. Price guarantees with ACRE The ACRE price guarantee for all crops is the national average price for the previous two years, which is based on the 12-month marketing period for corn and soybeans from Sept. 1 in the year of harvest until Aug. 31 the following year, and June 1 to May 31 for wheat and other small grain crops. The 2013 price guarantees will be based on the national average prices for the 2011 and 2012 crop marketing years (Sept. 1 to Aug. 31 for corn and soybeans). The final ACRE price guarantees for 2010, 2011 and 2012 crop years, as well as the preliminary USDA guarantee price estimate (as of April 1) for the 2013 crop year, are shown in Table 1; however, 2012 prices for corn and soybeans will not be finalized until Oct. 1. Yield guarantees with ACRE The state yield guarantee for 2013 is the “Olympic average” state yield for the past five years (2008-12), with the highest and lowest yield being dropped, and

the three remaining yields being averaged. (Example for Minnesota: Corn yields of 164, 174, 177, 156 and 165 with the 177 and 156 being dropped, and a resulting average yield of 167 bushels per acre for 2013, which is 2 bushels higher than 2012.) The average state yields for a given year are based on National Agricultural Statistics Service data. The farm-level yield guarantee will be the “Olympic average” actual or “proven” farm yield for the past five years (2008-12), with the highest and lowest yield being dropped, and the three remaining yields being averaged. For each year that the program crop was not raised (2008-12), or that the yield cannot be proven, a “Plug Yield” equal to 95 percent of the county average yield (from NASS) will be used. (Example: County average corn yield of 180 bu./acre x 0.95 = 171.0 bu./acre) Revenue guarantees with ACRE State revenue guarantee = “Olympic average” See PROGRAMS, pg. 23

PROGRAMS, from pg. 20 Direct payment and Commodity Credit Corp. loan rates with ACRE Direct payments will be reduced by 20 percent for farms enrolled in the ACRE program for 2013. Direct payments to all producers in the DCP program for 2013 will be reduced by 8.5 percent due to the federal budget sequester that was enacted earlier this year. For example, a farm with a corn direct payment of $25 per acre will have the 2013 direct payment reduced by $2.13/acre to $22.87/acre, due to the sequester reduction. The 2013 direct payment would be reduced by an additional 20 percent or $4.57/acre, if the farm is enrolled in ACRE for 2013, resulting in a direct payment of $18.30 per corn acre for 2013. The national and county CCC loan rates will be reduced by 30 percent on farms enrolled in the ACRE program for 2013. The national loan rates will drop from $1.95 per bushel to $1.37/bu. for corn; from $5/bu. to $3.50/bu. for soybeans; and from $2.94/bu. to $2.06/bu. for wheat. County loan rates vary somewhat from national CCC loan rates. Farms that are enrolled in ACRE are also not eligible for CCPs for

Two revenue ‘triggers’ met before ACRE payments before ACRE payments will be made, one based on actual state revenue for a given crop in a particular year, and the other based on actual farm-level revenue for that crop in the same year. In order for a producer to receive a payment under the ACRE program, the actual revenue for both the state and farm-level must be lower than the corresponding established revenue guarantees for a given year. The actual revenue is based on the actual 12month average price (Sept. 1-Aug. 31 for corn and soybeans) for a crop in the year of production, times the actual state average yield and actual farm yield, respectively. If both revenue triggers are reached, the ACRE payment will be made for that crop on that FSA farm number for the given year. Calculating ACRE payments ACRE program payments will be the higher of difference between the state guarantee and the actual state revenue, times 85.0 percent (0.85), times the producer adjustment. The total ACRE payment cannot exceed 25 percent of the state revenue guarantee

for a given crop. The ACRE payment will be paid on 85 percent of crop base acres (same as for direct payments) for 2013, and the final ACRE payment to eligible producers can be adjusted upward, based on farm-level yields. (Example: Farm-level yield guarantee of 184 bu./acre, state yield guarantee of 167 bu./acre, would result in the ACRE payment being factored upward by 10 percent (x 1.10). ACRE decision summary for 2013 Following are some key points to consider regarding the ACRE program for 2013. • Farm owners and operators have until June 3 to finalize their decision on enrollment in the ACRE program for 2013.

PROGRAMS, from pg. 21 state yield x two-year average price x 0.90 (Corn example, 2013: 167 bu./acre x $6.56/bu. x 0.90 = $985.97/acre) (Soybean example, 2013: 40 bu./acre x $13.40/bu. x 0.90 = $482.40/acre) Farm-level guarantee = Average farm yield x twoyear average price + 2013 crop insurance premium (Corn example, 2013: 180 bu./acre x $6.56/bu. + $25/acre = $1,205.80/acre) Maximum revenue guarantees with ACRE Both state and farm level guarantees are recalculated each year, based on changing average yields and prices. ACRE revenue guarantees cannot vary up or down by more than 10 percent from one year to the next. In Minnesota for 2013, this will result in a corn revenue guarantee of $757.61, a soybean revenue guarantee of $471.24/acre and a wheat revenue guarantee of $298.41/acre. The 2013 revenue guarantee levels are likely to remain at these levels, regardless of any future adjustments in the final 2012 national average prices for corn, soybeans or wheat.

Prices near necessary levels PROGRAMS, from pg. 23 farm units for 2013. • Producers are encouraged to analyze situations and scenarios that are more favorable for ACRE enrollment for 2013, as well as situations where the best option may be continuing with the traditional DCP farm program. Table 2 shows the 2013 estimated national average price (Sept. 1, 2013 to Aug. 31, 2014) needed to reach the threshold for ACRE payments for the 2013 crop year for corn and soybeans in Minnesota, at average statewide yield, 10-percent yield decrease and a 10-percent yield increase. • Remember, the later that planting is delayed in Minnesota past mid-May, especially for corn, the statewide average yield potential usually declines. It appears that we may be headed for that type of year in 2013. • Also remember, that the national average price for corn and soybeans that is used to determine potential 2013 ACRE payments is from Sept. 1, 2013 to Aug. 31, 2014. Most analysts expect some price challenges in the next couple of years; however, pending 2013 weather scenarios could change the price forecasts in the future. • Even though the ACRE program has not paid out for corn and soybeans

in Minnesota in past years, and will likely not result in an ACRE payment for the 2012 crop year, producers should not automatically “write-off” ACRE program enrollment for the 2013 crop year. The increases in the ACRE revenue guarantees for 2013 will increase the likelihood of ACRE payments for the 2013 crop year for corn and soybeans, as compared to previous years. • Current new crop corn prices for 2013 have been near $5/bu. for corn, and near $11.50/bu. for soybeans, which are getting closer to the necessary 12-month national average price levels (Sept. 1, 2013 to Aug. 31, 2014) needed to earn an ACRE payment for the 2013 crop year on corn and soybeans. • The University of Illinois has an excellent spreadsheet for analyzing potential 2013 ACRE payments for various crops in Minnesota and other states on their FarmDoc website. The spreadsheet can be accessed at www.farmdoc.illinois.edu/fasttools/index.asp. Kent Thiesse is a government farm programs analyst and a vice president at MinnStar Bank in Lake Crystal, Minn.

Trade issues, government policy impacting dairy industry If dairy producer participation rate is high and the impact on consumer demand for milk is low, DSA’s Dairy Market Stabilization Program has the potential to reduce government outlays and accelerate margin recovery during low-margin periods. G-S effective catastrophic margin insurance for aggressively growing farms is limited due to the fixed production history. However, more complete

margin risk protection may still be possible using private risk markets to complement government provided insurance. The primary focus of the analysis was the proposals’ short-term effects. The long-term impacts on the growth of milk supply, dairy exports and liquidity of

By Lee Mielke Jaime Castaneda, who serves as the NMPF’s USDEC’s senior vice president for strategic initiatives and trade policy, said that “Japan is the third-largest economy in the world and already a major dairy importer. Reducing excessive tariffs and removing non-tariff barriers to trade will significantly increase U.S. dairy export opportunities, which helps drive overall U.S. dairy industry growth.” IDFA’s senior group vice president, Clay Hough, said “the addition of Japan greatly expands the scope of the TPP, and that market is a significant opportunity for U.S. dairy exports.” Japan needs approval from current TPP participants before officially joining the group. The 17th round of negotiations takes place May 15-24 in Lima, Peru. ■ In dairy politics, DairyBusiness Update reports that a team of university dairy economists have compiled a new report comparing two major dairy policy proposals. The paper, “Goodlatte-Scott vs. the Dairy Security Act: Shared Potential, Shared Concerns and Open Questions,” reports analysis and expected short-term impacts of the Dairy Security Act and the Goodlatte-Scott Amendment. Academic in nature, the report suggest both DSA and G-S are effective in providing catastrophic risk insurance and revenue enhancement for dairies with stable and moderately growing milk marketings.

Immigration reform proposal praised by ag, dairy leaders ment’ program on the dairy industry. The reality is that farmers can have effective risk management tools without the government getting involved in limiting production and forcing consumers to pay more for dairy products, a key provision of the Peterson plan.” ■ In another crucial policy front, a bipartisan immigration policy reform proposal introduced in the Senate was praised by agricultural and dairy leaders. DBU’s Dave Natzke reported in Friday’s DairyLine that “the proposal introduced in the Senate on Wednesday was called ‘historic’ by representatives of major dairy, cooperative, fruit and vegetable grower and farm labor organizations during a joint press conference held this week.” Members of the Agriculture Workforce Coalition said the proposal addresses the major needs of U.S. farmers and workers and helps fix a broken immigration policy that is leading to shortages of workers to produce, harvest and pack the nation’s food supply. Kozak participated in the press conference and identified four key pieces of the proposal essential to dairy producers, covering both current and future immigrant workers. They include creation of a “blue card” for experienced but undocumented workers, providing them legal protection from deportation; and creation of a new visa program that will provide a stable supply of legal workers in the future. The bill would create a system whereby dairy and

other agricultural producers can recruit and hire new workers, either on a contract or at-will basis, from a pool of applicants. The visa program would also do away with current visa requirements that only address the needs of seasonal occupations, since dairy farming is a 365-day-a-year job. The bill would also create specific categories of agricultural workers, and establish minimum wages for each group based on the skills required, and provides other worker protections. The “blue cards” would be extended to workers’ spouses and children to help immigrant labor families stay together. Lee Mielke is a syndicated columnist who resides in Everson, Wash.

MIELKE, from pg. 27 private dairy risk markets were not addressed. National Milk says the analysis “demonstrates that the DSA provides the most effective economic safety net for farmers.” The NMPF’s Jerry Kozak said “the assessment, generated by the Midwest Program on Dairy Markets and Policy, shows DSA provides catastrophic risk insurance, helps enhance farmer revenue, and does so in a way that minimizes government outlays.” He added that the report “debunks any concerns that the DSA’s market stabilization element will hinder the growth of our industry or detrimentally affect the future of the dairy business. This says those fears are unfounded,” he said. “In fact, we need the DSA in order to give our farmers a future.” Processors charge that the study “clearly shows consumers and taxpayers will bear the brunt of bad dairy policy.” An IDFA press release stated, “the study confirms what the Congressional Research Service has reported, the Dairy Security Act will raise milk prices and force consumers to pay more for dairy products.” According to the authors, “DMSP is a supply management-type program designed to enhance milk prices. The DMSP aims to reduce the milk supply and thereby enhance milk prices by imposing income penalties on dairy farmers shipping milk over their assigned production level.” “Goodlatte-Scott is a more responsible approach to a government-funded farm bill,” said IDFA’s Jerry Slominski. “It provides an effective safety net, according to the Congressional Budget Office, without also imposing an anti-consumer ‘growth manage-

‘Spirit of the Prairie: Catering to the Soul’ and stomach Cookbook Corner

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent Eating ethically is the focus of “Spirit of the Prairie: Catering to the Soul,” a new cookbook by Our Lady of the Prairie Retreat in Wheatland, Iowa. The staff at the retreat center provide hospitality to guests looking for spiritual renewal, solitude and prairie beauty, and over the years have heard so many requests for their recipes that a cookbook became a natural extension. Providing nourishing, seasonal, locally grown foods is part of the ministry at the retreat, which buys chickens, eggs, pork, vegetables and honey from local farmers, and also tends its own garden. Their meals are simple, fresh and thoughtfully prepared, with consideration given to the distance the ingredients have traveled, the impact of food choices on the environment, the corporatization of U.S. agriculture and other social issues. The “head chef ” at Our Lady of the Prairie is Sister Kathleen Storms, retreat director, member of the School Sisters of Notre Dame in Mankato, Minn., and former director of the Center for Earth Spirituality and Rural Ministry in Mankato. Sister Kathleen grew up on a 12-kid dairy farm. She reports that the cookbook recently sold out and is in its second printing. Add great flavor, moistness and a nutritional boost to your family’s meatball dinner with lean TurkeyVeggie Meatballs. Use them with your favorite pasta,

The Johnson clan gives four ‘yums’ to Greek Lentil Soup or lay them on a sliced roll slathered with spaghetti sauce and mozzarella cheese for an out-of-this world meatball hoagie.

THE LAND, APRIL 26, 2013

Cinco de Mayo

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

n May 5, 1868, a ragtag collection of MexO ican soldiers, with a

large herd of cattle, won an improbable battle against the army of Napoleon III near the city of Puebla, Mexico. Napoleon’s army was considered the best in the world. May 5 is said “Cinco de Mayo” in Spanish. When people in the United States celebrate Cinco de Mayo they are commemorating the battle at Puebla. Why do people in the United States celebrate an obscure Mexican battle? The French had asked the Americans, who were fighting a Civil War, to join them in their war against Mexico. The Americans declined. As a result, some Mexicans fought with the Union Army as a way of showing their appreciation. France, always duplicitous, then asked Mexico if it would join them in attacking the United States. President Juarez declined. So, during these few years, Mexico and the United States behaved as good neighbors. It was in memory of this neighborliness that towns and cities, in places like Texas and California, began the commemoration of Cinco de Mayo in the 1960s. After all, the populations in many places in those states had as many people of Mexican descent as of northern European descent. A party is a great way to build bonds between neighbors that don’t normally interact, organizers believed. Thirty years later, small towns in places like Georgia, Arkansas, and Minnesota saw an influx of Mexican immigrants. Towns in Minnesota, like Pelican Rapids, St.

James, Melrose and Long Prairie, that had been predominately of northern European descent for over a century, suddenly saw a lot of dark-skinned newcomers. Small-town Minnesotans are by nature neighborly. So, it was not surprising that some communities began their own Cinco de Mayo festivals as a way to be neighborly. St. James may have been one of the first. Enrique Soto, and others, started a fiesta there. When Enrique moved to Long Prairie, he, along with Judy Denny, and others, started a fiesta there in 2008. This year Long Prairie will celebrate its sixth annual fiesta on May 3 in the high school. One of the events this year will be a Latin dance performance by Michele and Oscar Gonzalez of the Spirit Movement Dance Studio from Brainerd. There will also be a live band, an authentic Mexican meal and folklore dancing. Everything is free. Everybody is welcome. Now that’s neighborly! ❖
