Boehner needs July 4 break to reassess poisonous politics No one in Washington, D.C., is looking forward to the Fourth of July Congressional break more than Speaker John Boehner. It’s been a black-and-blue month for the Boss, R-Ohio, capped by the June 20 disaster that made him the first leader of the House of Representatives ever to lose a farm bill vote. The quiet might give Boehner time to reassess the poisonous politics that brought that stunning defeat despite his party’s 35-vote majority. It also will give him time to pull some GOP buckshot out of his backside. For example, Judiciary Committee
Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., who chaired the House ag committee from 2003 through 2007, authored a dairy pricing amendment to the farm bill that won quick approval. Shortly thereafter, however, Goodlatte pulled an about-face and voted against the overall bill that contained it. Wow. Goodlatte wasn’t the only GOP big gun to vote against the bill. Five other Republican committee bosses — all from big farm states: Ryan, Wisconsin; Hensarling, Texas; Shuster, Pa.; Miller, Fla.; Royce, Calif. — hung their Speaker out to dry like yesterday’s dirty socks.

With nary a bump, my sky dive was over. And now it was the jubilation of suddenly realizing that I had just sky dived 14,000 feet and the scenery provided by my good Lord was absolutely a thing of wonder. My dear elder brother was equally elated. He admitted, “I said a little prayer. God was listening because I sure had a good ride.” This whole issue of “heaven and earth” takes on some new dimensions when suddenly it’s just you and a rush of air.

MINDS, from pg. 2 more sky divers climbed in, one equipped with hand-held video camera; the other guy just up doing a free-fall dive. This turbo-charged Cessna had a big load: 10 people plus the pilot. We slowly climbed to 14,000 feet — over 3 miles up in the beautiful blue sky of that gorgeous day. We each had an altimeter strapped to our left wrist so we could track our gradual ascent into the wild blue. Soon my altimeter read 14,000 and a bank of red lights next to the exit door turned on. It was time to taste the sky. Let me tell you, when you exit this bird at 14,000 feet the world suddenly gets very big. We’re now “free falling.” That means my body was simply streaking through the sky, at 120 mph according to Sonny. And it was cold up there — about 38 degrees Fahrenheit even though it was a fresh, cozy 78 F 14,000 feet below me. But adrenaline is pumping. You barely notice the cold air, but you certainly feel the rush. We were free falling for about 60 seconds (seemed longer) and when my altimeter read 8,000 feet I pulled a trigger that opened this heavenly piece of colorful silk called a canopy. It was a sudden jolt when you no longer are falling 120 mph. Now you truly do take in the beauty of God’s earth. The Winsted area is farm country, so patterned quilts of corn fields, alfalfa fields (one actually being cut as we descended), beautiful farmsteads, and even a few of Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes were deliciously

Davidson’s success an inspiration to other ag students teacher, credits his own ag teacher as the key person in getting him into Ag Education. “I was his student. It seemed he was having so much fun in our classrooms so I thought I would do the same. And here I am. And it is fun.” He noted that since Davidson won the Star Farmer award, quite a few of the Owatonna students are now “stepping up to the plate” and pushing themselves hoping they might attain such an award in the future. He too indicated their diverse course instruction stems partly from what the students want. “Communicating with the kids is a big part; just asking them what classes they’d like to be in is often the idea of Liz and I to introduce a totally new program,” noted Larson. Because production agriculture is big in the Owatonna area, Larson and Tinaglia always put a special handle on the science of farming. “Kids love innovation. They know that new ideas are big in farming so even if they don’t have a future opportunity in farming, they’re learning that ag business is rapidly becoming a huge business in America,” Larson said. ❖

From the Fields: Planting’s done, for better or worse The Brandts Ada, Minn. Danny Brandt feels fortunate he was able to get 99 percent of his intended acres actually planted this sea- Danny Brandt son. The beans have been sprayed for the first time and corn spraying is complete. When The Land spoke to Brandt on June 25 he was enjoying ideal summer weather — hot and muggy. The crops at his farm are enjoying the weather as well, as the sugarbeets are starting to close their rows. According to Brandt, corn in one of his tallest fields is waist high, and he predicts that 90 percent of his other corn will be “knee high by the Fourth of July.” Soybeans “seem to be coming right along,” he said, and the wheat is starting to head out. Brandt is looking toward a harvest sometime in August. “I like this weather, it really pushes things right along,” he said. Brandt will continue to monitor the crops, as well as try out some fungicides on the corn. He is keeping his eye out for aphids, as he has heard some farmers are beginning to see them on their soybean plants. Also, in the next two weeks sows on the farm will begin farrowing. The Fourth of July will be a time to celebrate at the Brandt farm — not just for our nation’s independence but Brandt’s son Evan’s 4th birthday. A big family party complete with a Dairy Queen cake is in order for the big day. With a special birthday to enjoy and crops growing strong, “everything’s looking good,” Brandt said.

pleting planting, where he could. However, just like reluctantly taking his first prevent plant option, this year is anything but usual for him and other area farmers.
By KRISTIN KVENO The Land Correspondent
To say that the Johnson farm got wet would be quite an understatement. From June 20-22 nine inches of rain fell. Six of those inches dumped on Scott Johnson June 20 alone which, coupled with some strong winds, made for a tough weekend for Scott Johnson.
The Laubenthals Swea City, Iowa
When The Land spoke with him on June 25 he noted that there’s lots of standing water in the fields, “some spots I’ve never seen water that high.” The stormy, humid and hot weather pattern has its benefits, however. “Heat is making the corn look a lot better,” Johnson said. Soybeans are “looking OK,” he said, adding “except for the low spots; they’re dead.” He expects to do some replanting in the washed-out bean fields. Johnson said that while they did get the rain they missed getting hit by heavy hail and severe wind. “The rain was more damaging than the wind,” he said. Johnson was taking a break from spraying on June 25 due to the high winds but wanted to get two fields done by June 26 if the weather cooperated. While planting is done and spraying is wrapping up for Johnson, there’s “always plenty of things to do.” He points out that in years like this “the to-do list gets longer, not shorter.” He does have one request: “We need some more normal weather.” It seems the welcome mat for rain in the Starbuck area has temporarily been removed. Heat, sun and more heat is all that is needed for a while.
The Messners Northfield, Minn. On June 18 Chris Messner threw in the towel on what has been the wettest and most-delayed planting season of his farming career. Messner planted nearly 400 acres of beans in just three
days, and then made the decision to take the prevent plant option on other acres that were just too wet. When The Land spoke to Messner on June 25 he said that before this year the Chris Messner farm had “never ever done it before (prevent plant).” This year in the Northfield area, however, is a year unlike any other in recent memory. Messner isn’t alone in making the tough decision to do prevent planting. There’s “thousands of acres going unplanted,” he said. In speaking with fellow farmers “most people are down about not getting in the field.” On June 25 Messner received a call while working at Central Valley Co-op from a farmer still wanting to try to get some beans planted and wanted to know about available varieties. Farmers want to farm, not stare at blank earth all summer long. Messner knows that it’s “not going to be a stellar crop,” but it’s also “not the end of the world.” The forecast calls for the temperatures in the low-80s, and “we need to make up some heat units on this stuff,” he said. The heat is already helping the beans that he planted just a week prior as they are already up. They’re “looking nice,” he said, “but still have a long ways to go.” Usually during this time of year Messner is already looking toward thoughts of harvest and not just com-
The planting season on the Laubenthal farm seemed like a never-ending story this year, but the list of actual days they Charlie Laubenthal planted was amazingly short. Charlie Laubenthal planted his corn in four days and as many beans as he could in only a day and a half. The weather continually challenged him, but he’s optimistic that’s about to change. The Land spoke to Laubenthal on June 25 when he reported that since June 21 the farm had received 3 inches of rain. That rain took a toll on already saturated fields — “everything’s full of water,” he said. While Laubenthal may be done planting, he didn’t get everything planted. He has 350 acres that should be growing soybeans that will, instead, be under the prevent plant option this year. He plans to sow seed oats in prevent plant acres. He did try to replant some of his corn but, after additional rainfall, he believes that “anyone that replanted wasted their time.” Most corn that was replanted in the low areas is under inches of water again. The corn conditions are all over the place. Some of Laubenthal’s corn is knee high while other areas are only two inches tall. “We’ve got crops of all stages,” he said. While it’s been a challenge, he knows it could be worse — just 10 miles to the south, field conditions are even more unfavorable. Just driving around the area, Laubenthal has seen “lots of fields that have never been touched.” The discouraging crop condition won’t slow Laubenthal down as he’ll be soon cutting hay, spraying oats and finally putting the planter away. As a farmer, a good sense of humor can keep you from going over the edge during challenging times. Laubenthal has that covered, as he puts a lighthearted spin on what is the end to a frustrating beginning: “We’ve got less to combine.” ❖

Glyphosate resistance continues to be a burr ting with a sickle-bar mower if there are only patches of these problem weeds. Forcella said even late-season aerial application as a management strategy, especially if timing and equipment don’t permit a ground application. “One could even consider this late-season aerial application as both a desiccant to more quickly and evenly hasten the harvest of a soybean crop while also getting weed control,” he said. Kordbacheh, too, is concerned that the rapid expansion of “broad spectrum” specific herbicides is in fact changing the diversity of weed populations. Her point being that farmers need to routinely rotate the usage of different herbicides, both preand post-, to minimize the risk of resistance to a given product. So as farmers adopt more technologies, especially when it comes to weed control strategies, are weeds becoming less an issue? “Just the opposite,” Forcella said. “Always remember that Mother Nature continually alters the landscape, especially when it comes to new resistance to chemical products.

Weed control needs sometimes requires tillage RESISTANCE, from pg. 9 event attracting scientists from many countries, hundreds of presentations were made and about half the presentations were solely dealing with herbicide resistance. Argentina, which is now heavily into GMO crop production, has issues with resistant weeds. Australia, still not into GMO crop production, is probably second only to the United States in terms of resistant weed issues.
“The challenge with Aussie farmers is that they grow wheat year after year on the same fields (plus some canola) and continue using the same suite of herbicides somewhat analogous to our farmers using Roundup herbicide on corn and soybeans.” Is the rush to minimum tillage even intensifying the resistant weed issue?

Still, even accounting for that, $5,000 worth of gopher feet represents a mountain of dead gophers. It is apparent the accused thieves weren’t too bright. Certainly the trapper was going to notice his pile of paws was missing. And cashing in five Gs worth of gopher feet doesn’t happen every day and tends to attract attention. The alleged culprits quickly were tracked down and arrested. Of course, they are innocent until proven guilty. In Minnesota, stealing property worth more than $1,000 qualifies as a felony so we’re not exactly talking about over-time parking. Depending on how habitual the thieves are, under sentencing guidelines set for thefts of less than $5,000, a tough judge could hand down a sentence of a year and a day in jail accompanied by a hefty fine. More likely, they’ll get a minimal fine and slapped with a period of probation. But they’re lucky that there is no law against being stupid. They’d be facing life sentences.

Reduce damage to strawberries from insects, diseases Fresh strawberries, a favorite of almost everyone, are relatively easy to grow and hardy throughout the Upper Midwest. Horticulturists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach share cultural practices to reduce damage and losses caused by insects and diseases. There are small masses of foamlike material on my strawberry plants. What are these foam-like masses? The foam-like masses on the strawberry plants were probably created by the meadow spittlebug, one of several species of this commonly recognized group of sap-feeding insects. Spittlebugs are familiar because of the frothy, wet mass of “spittle” that surrounds the nymphs as they feed on sap from their host plants. The spittle is produced by the immature stage of the insect (the nymph) and protects the nymphs from natural enemies and desiccation. While the foam-like masses of spittlebugs are
rather disgusting, spittlebugs cause little harm to plants. Control efforts are usually not warranted. Some of the strawberries in my garden are covered with a gray, velvety growth. What is it and how can it be controlled? The gray, velvety growth on your berries may be gray mold. It is also known as Botrytis fruit rot. Gray mold is favored by poor air circulation and a high humidity in the strawberry planting. The most commonly infected berries are those touching the soil or other infected berries. Cultural practices can reduce losses due to gray mold. • Do not fertilize June-bearing strawberries in spring. The application of a nitrogen-containing fertilizer in spring promotes lush, vegetative growth. Dense foliage slows the drying of the strawberry planting, resulting in a more-favorable environment for gray mold.

harvested? Harvest strawberries when the fruit are uniformly red (fully ripe). Pick the berries with the caps and stems attached to retain firmness and quality. Pinch off the stem about one-fourth inch above the cap. Don’t pull them off. Strawberries should be picked about every other day in warm weather, every three to four days in cool weather. The harvest period for some June-bearing varieties may last three to four weeks. Strawberries can be stored in the refrigerator for five to seven days. Optimum storage conditions are a temperature of 32 F and a relative humidity of 90 to 95 percent.

• Control weeds in the strawberry bed. Weeds reduce air circulation and slow the drying of the strawberry plants. • Mulch the planting with straw to keep the berries off the ground. Berries resting on damp or wet soil are more susceptible to gray mold. • During dry weather, irrigate in the morning when using a sprinkler. Plants dry quickly when irrigated in the morning. • “Clean-pick” the strawberry planting. Harvest the strawberry planting frequently. Pick berries as soon as they are ripe. Handle berries carefully during harvest to avoid bruising the fruit. Immediately refrigerate the unwashed berries. Berries that exhibit symptoms of gray mold should be picked and removed from the bed. • Finally, fungicides are used by commercial strawberry growers to control gray mold.

When a disaster suddenly strikes, it can be frightening for everyone — including your pet. The best thing you can do to ensure your safety and that of your pet is to develop a plan for emergencies and have that plan ready before disaster strikes. Pet owners should ensure their animals are identified using a system, such as a collar or microchip, that will allow them to be reunited if they are separated, said Wesley Bissett, assistant professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. Collars may be less expensive but are easier to lose, while microchips are permanently implanted within the animal. Bissett also recommends that pet owners keep a photo of them and their pet to verify ownership. It’s imperative to keep a pet’s vaccinations current. “If you do not typically have your dog vaccinated for bordetella, or kennel cough, consider doing so as storm season approaches,” Bissett said. “This is disease prevention, in case your pet is checked into an animal shelter.”

Don’t forget BBQ chicken when firing up your grill When you think of the dishes served by outdoor chefs to their guests, many things come to mind. Burgers, steaks, chops and hotdogs are the most common. One dish that is a classic but not served frequently is the topic of this week’s column, BBQ chicken. Why is that? It’s delicious when prepared properly, but a potential series of culinary landmines await those who don’t know the basics when attempting this dish. Different sized pieces create timing issues, and white meat is typically cooked to the proper temperature prior to the dark meat. Also, the skin is a source of serious flame ups as the chicken cooks, resulting in charred chicken that may not be done on the inside. Ever serve chicken that hasn’t been cooked to the correct temperature? Let’s just say it can put a real damper on the party. So, let’s start off by covering some basics. Then I will explain the technique I use when grilling BBQ chicken. 1. Do not use frozen chicken. Before placing chicken on the grill, make sure it is totally thawed out. This applies to all forms of chicken, even those frozen boneless pieces you get in a bag. Otherwise, the outside of the chicken is dry and rubbery before the internal sections are cooked through. (Thaw the chicken out in the fridge. It may take a couple days, but that is much safer than thawing at room temperature.)

Grain Outlook Livestock Angles Grain Angles Acreage report Will livestock Keep your eye on causes fireworks trends continue? the big picture The livestock markets have been steady to higher through June. Cattle have been mostly steady while the hog market has continued to advance to higher levels. Will these trends continue through the remainder of the summer? The cash cattle market has been steady over the last few weeks of June while the cattle futures have moved from a discount to cash to a premium. This change in the basis seems to have stemmed from short covering in the futures market from commodity fund short covering. During this time the beef cutout prices has continued to slide to under $200 per JOE TEALE hundredweight basis choice and Broker the boxed beef movement has Great Plains Commodity remained sluggish at best. Afton, Minn. This continues to reflect a major demand problem for beef and is likely to continue until lower beef cutouts are obtained. With marketready cattle expanding over the next several months, the supplies of cattle and beef should not likely be a problem. This should put the packer in an advantageous position as far as accumulating inventory. Because of the weakening fundamentals, primarily the softer demand for beef, the cattle market is likely to be on the defensive in the near term. This is despite the fact that many analysts are looking for a seasonal low in the cattle market at this time. This would suggest that rallies are likely to be short-lived until economic conditions improve or the demand for beef improves. Therefore, producers are urged to play close attention to market conditions and protect inventories as needed. The hog market, on the other hand, has seen a good rally as prices have been on the rise all spring. The
Over the last 30 days I have been busy traveling across the United States. Needless to say, there is a fair amount of variation in crop conditions. In Minnesota alone there is a wide disparity between crop conditions across the state. On June 13 and 14, I was in North Carolina and the corn was tasseling and looked very good. In addition, they were starting to harvest winter wheat. The livestock producers in that area are buying wheat at about $6.40 a bushel or $.60 a bushel less than the current price of corn in Southern Minnesota. This year will be the first time in my career where I’ve experienced grain prices that are MARKGREENWOOD AgStar Senior VP of cheaper in the southeast United Relationship Management States than in the Midwest. Mankato, Minn. All grain producers in the Midwest should be aware of more than just crop conditions in their region. It is important to understand that, although crops currently don’t look good here, in other parts of the world that might not be the case. The U.S. Department of Agriculture and Informa are still saying we could have a carryout of 1.8-2.0 billion bushels of corn which could put corn under the five dollar per bushel range. A year ago in June the crops looked great all across the United States and then we experienced a drought which caused a tight supply situation. This just goes to show that you never know how Mother Nature is going to have an impact on supply. The million-dollar question today might be, “how much old crop is left to sell?” Users of corn are all hoping there is more out there and those that are holding on to corn are hoping to cash in.

The following market analysis is for the week ending June 28 CORN — December corn gapped lower at the opening bell Sunday night as weather became non-threatening ahead of the Grain Stocks as of June 1 report and Acreage report. A gap from $5.53 3/4 to $5.51 was left on the chart as upside resistance. Without support from the weather forecast, the December contract traded lower for six consecutive sessions leading up to the U.S. Department of Agriculture reports. Basis levels for nearby delivery were steady to lower for the week. The July-September NYSTROM inverse widened with very little PHYLLIS CHS Hedging Inc. old crop corn moving in the counSt. Paul try. Adding to volatility this week was also first notice day for the July contract, month end, and quarter end. In other news, Argentina indicated they will issue more corn export licenses for the 2013-14 crop year, which is negative for U.S. new crop exports. Argentine corn planting usually begins in August. The fireworks came early this year with the release of the Grain Stocks report on June 28. The USDA pegged corn stocks at 2.764 billion bushels, barely within the range of guesses (2.725 to 2.952) and versus the average trade estimate for 2.845 billion bushels. This is the lowest stocks number in 16 years. This compares to June 1 stocks last year of 3.148 billion bushels and the March 2013 stocks number of 5.399 billion bushels. This was a bullish figure and the market reacted according with July corn settling twelve cents higher post-report. For the week, July corn was 17 1/2 cents higher at $6.79 1/4 per bushel.

Bullish July soybeans advance on report day NYSTROM, from pg. 17 The main attraction was the acreage report at 97.379 million acres, higher than the highest trade guess of 96.9 million and compared to last year’s 97.155 million planted acres. The average guess going into the report was 95.313 million acres. This caught the trade off guard and sent prices spiraling 27 1/2 cents lower on report day. December corn took out the May low of $5.12 that had been acting as support and plunged to $5.06 before settling on June 28 at $5.11, down 45 1/4 cents for the week. The September contract acted as a new crop month and tumbled 44 3/4 cents for the week to $5.47 1/4 per bushel. Major acreage changes versus last year per state in thousand acres included: Texas up 550, North Dakota up 300, Nebraska up 200, Illinois down 600, South Dakota down 250, Kansas and Iowa down 200, Wisconsin and Indiana down 150, Minnesota only down 50. Weekly export sales were impressive at 13.3 million bushels, the largest number in 10 weeks. This brings total commitments to 706 million bushels. The USDA is calculating this year’s exports at 700 million bushels. Keep in mind every year there is a certain level of sales that are carried over into the next crop year. Embracing that thought, the trade believes we need 4.4 million bushels per week to actually achieve the USDA’s number. New crop sales at 6 million bushels were the largest since March. Weekly ethanol production rose 12,000 bpd to
885,000 barrels per day this week while stocks fell 0.2 million barrels to 16.3 million barrels. OUTLOOK: The acreage number has put a wholly negative tone on the new crop months and now any new crop rally will have to come from adverse July weather. A pick-up in wheat harvest will also be a roadblock to the upside. Limiting a complete collapse will be bottom-picking by end users and the need for timely July moisture and, please, no early frost. The July-December inverse traded out to 175 cents, close to the record set in 1996 of 187 cents. This year’s extremely tight situation in old crop corn stocks versus higher than expected acreage puts the September contract in a tricky situation. As noted before, September corn will usually go to a carry versus the December contract, but will this year’s late planting and minimal old crop stocks throw us a curve ball? Looking ahead to what happens around the 4th of July holiday; in the last five years, December corn has closed higher twice and lower three times both the day before and the day after the holiday. The Kansas City Board of Trade closed their doors in Kansas City on June 28 and will reopen July 1 at the CBOT. Nothing changes for the contract, except its pit trading location.

Look at financial strength GREENWOOD, from pg. 17 dynamics that we will see until harvest will likely be unprecedented. Right now, we have basis for corn and beans that is over a dollar in southern Minnesota. The basis in play are similar to a roulette wheel — we have no idea where they are going to end up. Grain marketing decisions should be based on your current financial strength. If you have very little debt and can afford some risk you might be okay to take a gamble. Basis could change rapidly in a short period of time so it’s important you understand your current financial situation in case you need to react quickly. Recently, I’ve had several discussions that have focused on the potential downturn of the grain market. Our credit team shared a report within
was 92 percent complete, 3 percent behind the five-year average. Emergence was 81 percent compared to 89 percent on average. Conditions improved 1 percent to 65 percent in the good/excellent category. Old crop beans, on the other hand, were extremely strong on escalating domestic demand. The stocks as of June 1 were friendly at 435 million bushels with the average trade estimate at 442 million bushels. This is the second tightest June 1 stocks number since 2003-04. Last year’s stocks on June 1 were 667 million bushels and in March of this year they were 999 million bushels. The market’s reaction was bullish as July soybeans advanced 16 cents on report day. For the week, July beans were 71 1/4 cents higher for the week and closed at $15.64 1/2 per bushel. As for soybean acreage this year, the USDA’s number at 77.7 million acres was near the average estimate for 77.9 million acres. In March, they were forecast at 77.126 million and the final 2012 acreage was 77.198 million acres. This wasn’t enough to prevent a 23 1/4 cent sell-off in November soybeans on report day, leaving the November contract down 21 1/2 cents for the week at $12.52 per bushel. In thousand acres, changes from last year by state included: Illinois and Missouri up 250, Iowa up 150, Indiana up 100, South Dakota up 50, North Dakota down 250, Minnesota and Nebraska down 250, Wisconsin down 30. The USDA did indicate they would be resurveying 14 states in mid-July (including Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, North and South Dakota, Wisconsin) this year due to wet weather. The new numbers won’t be factored into USDA balance sheets until the August 12 report. Weekly export sales have slowed

AgStar that showed the total debt by producers has dropped since 2008. Additionally, we’ve seen several reports that have shown that producers have spent over $10,000 an acre for farmland. Most who are reading this would probably agree that with higher grain prices there should be lower debt levels. But lower debt levels aren’t the only factor that’s important. It’s also important to know what type of debt you have. Is it all on real estate or more on machinery (intermediate debt) or do you have a fair amount of operating debt? Even though long-term rates have shown a slight increase, it’s still a good time to lock-in fixed rates on long-term debt and to make sure that you have sufficient working capital (current assets less current liabilities) to withstand some adversity. Managing your balance sheet is an essential part of risk management. ❖
down to a trickle for old crop. If this pace keeps up, it will call into question whether we can reach the USDA’s 1.33 billion bushel forecast. Sales of about 3 million bushels are need per week. In recent history, at least 60 million bushels have been carried into the next crop year. New crop sales were big at 16.6 million bushels. In daily reporting, the USDA announced 172.5 tmt of new crop beans sold to unknown. Meal sales have hit a wall, coming in at this week at a marketing year low of 9.2 tmt. This is the first week in 7 that we haven’t been above the 17 tmt/week needed per week to reach the USDA forecast. There is chatter that processors will only add to sales if they can buy beans. OUTLOOK: Tight bean availability should support the old crop/new crop board inverses. The board, basis or a combination of the two will have more work to do to entice soybean movement. November soybeans downside may be limited with acreage still in question. November soybeans in the last five years have closed higher four times the day before July 4 and lower once. The day after the holiday, they have closed higher twice and lower three times. Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending June 28: Minneapolis wheat was down just 16 1/2 cents while Chicago plummeted 47 1/4 cents and Kansas City dropped 45 1/2 cents. August crude oil jumped $2.87 to $96.56, ultra-low sulfur diesel gained 1 1/2 cents, gasoline fell over 3 cents and natural gas was 22 3/4 cents lower. The U.S. dollar index gained 0.726 percent to 83.136. This material has been prepared by a sales or trading employee or agent of CHS Hedging Inc. and should be considered a solicitation. ❖
Examine your inventories TEALE, from pg. 17 main reason for this strength is just the opposite of the beef, which is good demand for pork. The pork cutout has been on the rise for months and the volume in the wholesale pork trade has been robust. This has taken the pork cutout well over $100/cwt. wholesale, which a yearly high. However, the higher price for pork has precipitated a slowing retail demand, which could be signaling a coming top in prices if this continues. From a seasonal standpoint, the high in hog prices usually comes at this time of year and prices generally slide in to October.
According to the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture Quarterly Hogs and Pigs Report, the number of hogs is approximately the same as this time a year ago. The interesting part of this report was that the hogs weighing 120 and above are greater than a year ago, which would mean there is more inventory for the packer to select from in the next 60 days. This increase in inventory and the slowing of demand could be the catalyst that confirms the seasonal top in the hog market. It would be prudent for producers to examine their summer and early fall inventories and protect them if necessary. ❖

current Average Crop Revenue and permanent disaster (SURE) programs, are proposed to be replaced by a new crop risk management program in both versions of a new farm bill. Farmers will continue to have payment limits for these program payments, and will likely have maximum adjusted gross income levels to maintain payment eligibility. Producers will also likely have an updated target price option in the new farm bill, as well as revised dairy and sugar support programs as part of the commodity title in a farm bill. The federal crop insurance program has been proposed to remain largely intact with the new farm bill, with some minor adjustments and possible enhancements; however, there were several amendments offered to make changes in the crop insurance program. Many crop producers rely on revenue-protection crop insurance as the primary risk management tool for the large investment that they have in crop production each year. The importance of crop insurance has been quite evident in the past two years, with the severe drought in many parts of the United States in 2012, and the late and prevented corn and soybean planting in parts of the Midwest in 2013.

future funding for SNAP. This was also one of the main roadblocks to passing a new farm bill in the U.S. House. The new farm bill passed by the U.S. Senate would cut the spending on SNAP by about $400 million per year (0.5 percent), or $4 billion over 10 years; while the U.S. House proposal would cut SNAP funding by about $2 billion per year (3.0 percent), or approximately $20 billion over 10 years. Interestingly, some U.S. House members opposed the new farm bill because they thought the cuts to SNAP funding went too far, while other members were opposed because they wanted even deeper cuts to future SNAP budget outlays. There are also some differences in how various states administer some of the SNAP, which were proposed to be adjusted by some of the proposed provisions for the new farm bill in the U.S. House. About 15 percent of the funding in the new farm bill is designated for farm commodity programs and crop insurance programs. The farm bill proposals in both the U.S. Senate and U.S. House would eliminate future direct payments to crop producers, which have been available for many farm crops each year since the late-1990s. Eliminating direct payments will save about $5 billion per year in federal spending, some of which will be redirected to crop insurance and other commodity programs. The direct payments, as well as the

Some calling for the ‘farm’ to be split out of bill MARKETING Farm bill forum at Farmfest PROGRAMS, from pg. 19 for the program and some eligibility requirements. The federal government subsidizes about 62 percent of the annual cost of crop insurance premiums to producers, with the farmer paying the balance. The government also subsidizes large crop insurance losses, such as with the 2012 drought. Some would like to see the crop insurance subsidy reduced or eliminated, while others would like it eliminated for high income farmers, or see limits placed on crop insurance benefits that a producer can receive. Another proposal has been to eliminate the harvest price option from revenue protection crop insurance coverage, which would greatly diminish the
amount of insurance coverage in a drought year such as 2012, and would increase the financial risk to farmers. One part of the federal subsidization of crop insurance that is rarely discussed is the fact that in years when the money received on premiums exceeds the insurance indemnity payments in a given crop year, the extra money goes back into the federal treasury. For many Midwestern crop producers, the 2012 drought was the first time that they have received a significant crop insurance payment in decades, even though they have paid crop insurance premiums every year. Elimination of the federal crop insurance premium subsidy could make crop insurance quite

Farmfest 2013 is right around the corner, and the forums are always a hot topic at the annual farm show in Redwood County, Minn. “Reaching an Endpoint on a New Farm Bill” is the feature forum at 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 6. This will be a critical discussion as Congress tries to reach a compromise on a new farm bill. Congressman Collin Peterson, ranking member of the U.S. House agriculture committee, and Congressman Tim Walz, also a U.S. House ag committee member, will be participating in this panel discussion. They will be joined by Roger Johnson, National Farmers Union president; Dale Moore, public policy director for American Farm Bureau, and Bob Worth, vice president of the American Soybean Association. Other Farmfest forums include ... • “The Future Direction of Renewable Energy Policy” at 1:15 p.m. on Aug. 6, featuring U.S. Sen.

This could make it difficult for some farmers, especially newer farmers with limited equity, to get adequate financing for their operations. With approximately 80 percent of proposed farm bill funding going to SNAP, and about 15 percent of the funding going to crop insurance and commodity programs, that leaves only about 5 percent of the spending for all the other USDA programs included in the farm bill. This would include the Conservation Reserve Program, and other conservation, wetland, grassland, forestry and environmental programs, as well as rural development, trade promotion and ag research funding. The funding for some of these USDA programs is currently “on hold,” waiting for the completion of a new farm bill. Current farm bill proposals would reduce the maximum CRP acreage from 32 million acres to 25 million acres. There are currently about 27 million acres enrolled in CRP.

While that may sound attractive to some, veteran farm bill observers from both political parties caution against going that route. They feel that legislation for both parts of the farm bill would become even more partisan and divided, and that it would become even more difficult to pass a farm bill. The biggest loser of this approach may be the small to mid-sized farm operations that rely on a “safety-net” program as a risk management tool for their operation. Passage of a new farm bill is complex, with programs ranging from farm commodities, to food and nutrition, to conservation and forestry programs, and many more. Many times finalizing a farm bill in Congress can be quite controversial, and not necessarily by political party lines. The various farm bill programs become quite geographical, with members of Congress wanting to protect the farm, food, conservation and economic interests of their state or congressional district. The large federal budget deficit in recent years has added a new element to passage of a large farm bill, as has the growing number of activist groups that want to see deeper cuts to farm program supSee PROGRAMS, pg. 21
Organizations weigh in with farm bill reactions together in finding a solution.” U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack “The failure by the House leadership, for the second year in a row, to reach consensus on a food, farm and jobs bill is a tremendous disappointment for all Americans. Twice now, the U.S. Senate has done its job and passed balanced, comprehensive legislation with over-
whelming bipartisan support. Unfortunately, the House version of this bill would have unfairly denied food assistance for millions of struggling families and their children, while failing to achieve needed reforms or critical investments to continue economic growth in rural America. As a result, the House was unable to achieve bipartisan consensus.”
PROGRAMS, from pg. 20 ports and crop insurance premium subsidies. The members of Congress, especially in the U.S. House, must now regroup to find a workable compromise for a new farm bill that affects the future of the nation’s farmers and other citizens affected by USDA programs. If a compromise agreement is reached, and passes the U.S. House, the differences in the House and Senate versions of the new farm bill would need to be worked out in conference committee. Once completed, the legislation would
have to go back to both the U.S. Senate and U.S. House for final approval, which may be difficult. Finally, the new farm bill would need to be signed into law by President Obama. If this does not occur by the end of 2013, there is a possibility that there could be another one-year farm bill extension for 2014.

some farm bill provisions were made at the end of 2012, which expire Sept. 30. Minnesota Farm Bureau “It was very disappointing to see a fiscally responsible, bipartisan farm bill fail on the floor of the House of Representatives,” said Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation President Kevin Paap. “Agriculture knows how to do their chores and that they need to get done. This is no exception. Minnesota farmers need the certainty that comes with a five-year bill, and we will continue to work to make sure that this gets brought back up in order that we have legislation signed into law by the time the current farm bill expires in September. “We were thankful for Ranking Member Collin Peterson’s leadership and dedication to working toward passage of a long-term farm bill. Minnesota Reps. Tim Walz, John Kline and Erik Paulsen joined Congressman Peterson in taking a stand for Minnesota farmers by voting in favor of the bill. While we would have liked to see support from the full Minnesota delegation, we look forward to moving forward

On June 20, the U.S. House of Representatives killed the farm bill on a vote of 234-195. The ag Twitter, Facebook and e-mail world was alive with responses to the farm bill’s demise. Here’s just a sampling of the reactions. Minnesota Farmers Union “Minnesota Farmers Union is disappointed that the House failed family farmers and consumers by not passing a farm bill,” said Doug Peterson, Minnesota Farmers Union president. “I would like to thank Rep. Collin Peterson, John Kline, Tim Walz and Erik Paulsen for their support of rural Minnesota and the consumers our hardworking family farmers feed. The MFU will continue to work hard for the interests of family farmers and push for the necessary changes in the legislation to get this farm bill passed in the House.” The U.S. Senate passed their version of the farm bill on June 10, both Sens.

with a vote of 195-234 the U.S. House of Representatives failed to pass a farm bill today. “Earlier in the day, the Goodlatte-Scott amendment stripped the Dairy Market Stabilization Program from the underlying bill. “Regardless of the loss on Goodlatte-Scott, Dairy Farmers of America remained supportive of final passage of the farm bill to keep the momentum going on a bill that is vital to so many aspects of the American agriculture sector. Farm families across the nation rely on the provisions in the farm bill, and that they will continue to operate under outdated and inadequate policies is truly disappointing. “DFA members joined farmers across the nation in voicing their support of this farm bill, and their engagement was instrumental in securing needed dairy policy reform in the version of the bill brought to the floor. “Although today has been disappointing, the dairy industry has shown its resiliency in the past, and continued optimism and action is the only option as we look to the future. We express sincere thanks to all who made calls, attended meetings and sent important e-mails to their legislators. This participation is imperative as we look to the future and make dairy policy reform a reality. “The dairy industry has many advocates on Capitol Hill and we owe our appreciation to those in Congress who supported our efforts. I am confident that this support will not falter as we continue our pursuit of meaningful dairy policy reform.” ❖

The Land Stewardship Project “In what can only be interpreted as a slap in the face of U.S. House leadership, this failure typifies how dysfunctional this body of Congress has become, with the majority unable to pass legislation they claim is one of their priorities. “The failed legislation contained excessive cuts to conservation programs and nutrition resources, and lacked the establishment of any limits on federally subsidized crop insurance (the latter program is already far and away the most costly farm-oriented program and is growing in size by the year and in proposed farm bills). The negative vote on this bill is a clear signal that House leadership needs to do a hard examination of what it takes to advance a bill that is based on good public policy. “Having no five-year farm bill in place leaves our nation’s farmers with uncertainty while shutting down public policy opportunities to invest in new farmers, engender rural development and secure conservation on the land. “The Land Stewardship Project implores the U.S. House to recalibrate and refocus the disproportionate deep cuts in this failed bill and find a more reasonable approach that attracts the kind of bipartisan support needed for final passage. This must be done in earnest so a final farm bill is passed and signed by the president this fiscal year — Sept. 30, 2013.” Dairy Farmers of America John Wilson senior vice president “Despite the agriculture community’s best effort,

USDA: Feed prices up in June, all-milk price steady MIELKE, from pg. 23 Cash butter saw a third week of decline, closing the last Friday of June at $1.4275, down 7.25 cents on the week and a dime below a year ago. Two cars were sold. The AMS surveyed butter price averaged $1.5501, down 1.9 cents. Increased butter in cold storage is weighing on the market, according to the DMN. FC Stone dairy broker Dave Kurzawski said in the June 27 Insider Opening Bell that “trade reports indicate ice cream sales in June were off 3 to 5 percent. “That’s a big chunk of product that’s not moving at the margin,” he said. The only good news in the cash market was that Grade A and Extra Grade nonfat dry milk remained at $1.73 and $1.70 respectively. AMS powder averaged $1.6878, up 0.7 cent, and dry whey averaged 58.64 cents, up 1.3 cents. Availability of spot loads of milk in
the Midwest was uneven the week of June 17, according to the USDA’s weekly update. Some cheese manufacturers indicate their internal milk supplies are declining seasonally and access to additional supplies would be helpful to meet near term orders. A few manufacturers with nonfat dry milk and cheese production capabilities are sending additional loads of milk to powder operations as that market appears to be gaining near-term strength. April milk production in New Zealand was down was 34.5 percent from April 2012, according to the DMN. The June-April output, at 18.9 million tons, is running 0.2 percent lower than the previous season. Australian production is expected to continue at the light side of normal with projections being eased lowered. USDA’s latest Ag Prices report showed increased feed prices in June while the all-milk price was steady. The June

milk-feed price ratio, at 1.53, was unchanged from May and up from 1.38 in June 2012. The U.S. average all-milk price was $19.70 per hundredweight, unchanged from May but up $3.40 from a year ago. Corn, at $7.02 per bushel, was up 3 cents from May and up 65 cents from a year ago. Soybeans averaged $15.10/bu., up 20 cents from May and $1.20 more than June 2012. Alfalfa hay averaged $220 per ton, down $1 from May, but $19 more than a year ago. ■ California’s July Class I milk price was announced by the California Department of Food and Agriculture at $19.59/cwt. for the north and $19.86 for the south, down $1.25 and $1.26 respectively from June but both are $1.99 above July 2012. The prices include another temporary increase mandated by the CDFA as a result of a May 21 hearing. The northern 2013 average now stands at $19.82, up from $17.79 a year ago and 3 cents shy of the average in 2011. The southern average now stands at $20.09, up from $18.06 a year ago and also 3 cents shy of the average in 2011. California Ag Secretary Karen Ross announced the temporary milk pricing formula adjustments on June 21, resulting in an estimated 12.5 cent/cwt. increase in the milk price paid to the state’s dairy producers for July 1 through Dec. 31. Formula adjustments for the period
February-to-May 2013 had boosted the state’s milk price by about 25 cents/cwt., but expired at the end of May. DairyBusiness Update reported that, effective July 1, the Class 1 milk fat price was increased 3 cents/lb.; the Class 1 milk solids-not-fat price was raised by 23 cents/lb.; and the Class 1 milk fluid carrier price by 0.01 cents/lb., for a total impact of about 3 cents/cwt. to the Class 1 price. The mandate increases the Class 2 and 3 milk fat and milk solids-not-fat price by 41 cents/lb., with the impact of boosting the Class 2 and Class 3 prices by about 5 cents/cwt., according to the DBU. The Class 4a and 4b milk fat and milk solids-not-fat price is raised by 1.23 cents/lb., with the impact of boosting the Class 4a/4b prices by about 15 cents/cwt. On average, these adjustments will increase the monthly pool prices about 12.5 cents/cwt. for the period of July 1 to Dec. 31, according to the DBU. ■ The University of Wisconsin’s Brian Gould forecast a May Milk Income Loss Contract payment of 69.79 cents/cwt., and he expects no further MILC payments for the foreseeable future regardless of the farm bill situation. ■ Speaking of the farm bill; the DBU reported that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the Senate See MIELKE, pg. 25

Immigration reform helps dairy, all ag the National Milk Producers Federation says “will help dairy farmers with their current and future workforce needs, and provide the entire agriculture sector with much-needed economic certainty.” An NMPF press release stated that the bill “strengthens the border security apparatus to discourage the flow of illegal immigrants to the United States. From the standpoint of farm employers, it creates an entirely new visa category for their workers, both current employees, and prospective new employers. “This new visa system will be administered through the USDA, making it easier for farmers and ranchers to access and use. It will also assure a future flow of new workers, so that as the economy evolves and jobs shift between sectors, farmers will have the means to recruit and hire new dairy workers.” Lee Mielke is a syndicated columnist who resides in Everson, Wash.

MIELKE, from pg. 24 will not pass another temporary farm bill extension and urged House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, to instead to pick up the Senate version and bring it up in the House. The Dairy Business Association and the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation praised passage of the Goodlatte-Scott amendment and stated in a press release that they “applaud the House of Representatives for adopting, on a vote of 291-135, to modernize the dairy safety net program without interfering with milk production or the dairy market by providing a dairy margin insurance program without supply management. ... Even though the final vote on the passage of the farm bill failed, the overwhelming support of the Goodlatte-Scott amendment will send a strong message in the future that farmers do not want the government controlling their milk production.” But, Three Purdue University agricultural economists believe that another extension of 2008 farm bill is a distinct possibility, according to the DBU. Chris Hurt, Otto Doering and Roman Keeney question whether Republican House leadership will allow debate on the contents of the farm bill again anytime soon. With the one-year extension set to expire Sept. 30, farmers could see another extension of the fiveyear agricultural spending plan, the DBU reported.

ave you ever wanted to explore Mars, or Venus, or Saturn, or travel through the Milky Way? You can do that simply by driving around the town of Cosmos. The main drive taking you downtown is Milky Way. The town’s streets are named for planets and the intersecting avenues are named for constellations. Before you ever notice the street signs, however, you will spot the water tower. Flying around the water tower’s blue background are planets, comets, stars, and even a space shuttle. All of this is part of the legacy of an early homesteader, Daniel Hoyt. The township originally was named Nelson, after an early pioneer. The township and town were renamed Cosmos at the behest of Hoyt. Hoyt was a man of big ideas, one of which was to establish a university in Cosmos. According to a town history, Hoyt chose the name because cosmos is the Greek word for “universe.” It also refers to order and harmony. It was a fitting name for a university town. The university never came to be. Daniel Hoyt was frozen to death in a blizzard on February 11, 1870. His grand idea died with him. Cosmos, however, continued to take inspiration from its name. The old water tower had a homemade rocket placed on top of it in 1967. When the new tower was to be built in 2008, the old rocket was in poor shape and not reusable. “When the condition of the rocket was discovered, it put more emphasis on implementing some type of space
theme on the new tower,” said Kathy Blackwell, Clerk/Treasurer for Cosmos. The hydrocone shape, reminiscent of the space needle, provides an excellent area for the cosmos design, which Blackwell said was a combined effort of city staff, the general contractor, and the company that painted the images. The water tower sits in a small park along Highway 7. It can’t help but catch your eye. Rather than risk leaving this world by taking your eyes off the road, pull off into the park and gaze at the water tower, sensing the expanse and harmony of the universe from a small prairie town named Cosmos. Daniel Hoyt would be pleased that at least that part of his dream was alive. In keeping with its name, Cosmos annually celebrates its Space Festival the third weekend in July.
