Both offer a basic, but broad risk management platform supported by all types of farmers and ranchers in all regions.

Provisions included in both bills would make significant changes in how commodity programs are structured while streamlining other programs, such as those related to conservation, the Farm Bureau release stated.

Twohey will serve as the primary media and public relations contact for the MPB and the MPPA in addition to working closely with staff and producers providing up-to-date communication tools to be utilized proactively and in existing programs such as Operation Main Street.

Twohey grew up on her family’s dairy farm and was the integrated communications intern for the Midwest Dairy Association last summer. At the University of Minnesota Twohey served as the chair of Agricultural Awareness Day, a campus event that reaches more than 3,000 students annually. ❖

The Minnesota Agri-Growth Council announced that Perry Aasness will join Agri-Growth in July as the new executive director. Aasness currently serves as the executive director of the Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation. He is replacing the previous executive director, Daryn McBeth, who took a position with Land O’Lakes in May. Aasness brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the role after having been raised on a farm in west central Minnesota and later serving as

Minnesota Deputy Commissioner of Agriculture under Gene Hugoson.

More recently, Aasness served as state executive director for the U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency and the vice president of Producer and Industry Relations for the National Pork Board.

Two days later House Ag Chair Frank Lucas was again fumbling for a way forward with the mess he helped create by agreeing to the no-SNAP House bill. On July 16 he said the joint Senate-House farm bill conference was on; on July 17 he said it might not be on.

Which confirms an earlier point: the only thing on Capitol Hill that runs on time anymore is the crazy train.

He lives with his wife and three children in Woodbury, Minn. He also continues to work on and manage his family farm near Fergus Falls, Minn. ❖

That explanation quickly turned into Grade A baloney, however, after it took House leaders more than five days to walk their bill a few hundred feet across the Rotunda to the Senate.

Moreover, on July 15, a day before the no-SNAP House bill finally arrived, Senate Ag Chair Debbie Stabenow, DMich., wondered what to do with it when it did finally show up. Talking to reporters on a conference call, Stabenow predicted the narrow House winner would be a big Senate loser.

“First of all,” related Stabenow, “we could not pass that (bill) through the Senate, nor would the president sign that kind of bill. It would be a major

Real word or not, ‘brutiful’ has a place in every life Glennon Doyle Melton writes, “Life is equal parts brutal and beautiful.

And/Both. Life is brutiful.”

Brutiful. It’s a good word. Sort of like ginormous (gigantic plus enormous), fantabulous (much more fabulous than the stripped down word, “fabulous”), and sketchy (something or someone that isn’t quite right).

Rhonda, a friend who teaches high school English, tells me these aren’t words. I ain’t so sure. Whether you agree with the grammar or not, life is brutiful.

It’s in the news. The day I penned this, the three women who were held in a Cleveland home for a decade thanked the public via a YouTube video for their encouragement and financial support. The ordeal was brutal — what one victim deemed “hell.” But beautiful was their escape, reunions with family, and heartfelt thanks to all who reached out to them with kindness.

What Yes, hostas can be divided any time of the year and will thrive. Spring and fall are more ideal times to divide most perennial plants but hostas are tough. Be sure to water the clump thoroughly before dividing it and continue to keep the new divisions well-watered and shaded.

Rains lead to more mosquitoes Mosquitoes are especially abundant this summer because of heavy rainfall and increased moisture in the environment.

University of Minnesota Extension entomologist Jeff Hahn explained mosquito larvae live in small pools of water. Increases in rainfall lead to more mosquito breeding grounds. Although rain cannot be controlled, there are many steps you can take to combat mosquitoes.

• Mosquitoes avoid direct sunlight. They are more common during early morning and evening as well as cloudy days. Try to avoid these times when possible.

• Draining small child pools, clogged gutters and other small pools of water prevents your yard from turning into a mosquito breeding ground. “If you have something that collects water, dump it or drain it,” Hahn said.

• Put a thin layer of vegetable oil on water that cannot be drained (like rain buckets and bird baths) to suffocate the

larvae and stop mosquito breeding. Also, keep weeds and grasses from getting tall.

It is important to protect your skin when you are outside.

“Repellent is a good first line of defense,” said Hahn, who recommends using sprays, such as DEET or picaridin on your body and clothes.

Also, covering your skin with long sleeves and long pants is an effective method of preventing bites.

Alternative and homemade methods of mosquito prevention are minimally effective, if at all, Hahn said. Citronella candles, ultrasound repellents, or insect zappers will not reduce the amount of bites you get outside, even if you catch a few mosquitoes.

The Johnson clan gives four out of four ‘yums’ to homemade Mustard

Being a mustard lover, I just had to try the following recipe. It makes a wonderfully spicy and fragrant blend, and it was little work to prepare. I used yellow seeds with excellent results, but I’m thinking next time I’ll try the brown and get a “rougher” mustard. Four out of four “yums” in the Johnson household.

Mustard (Makes 1 1/2 cups) 1/2 cup brown or yellow mustard seeds 1/3 cup red wine vinegar 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 teaspoons salt 3 tablespoons honey 1/4 cup water Pour the mustard seeds into a medium bowl, and cover with water three inches higher than the seeds. Cover the bowl and let it sit at room temperature for 12 hours.

Drain any remaining water from the seeds. Combine the soaked mustard seeds with the rest of the ingredients in a blender, and blend until smooth.

Transfer the mixture to a jar, cover and refrigerate.

The mustard will be spicy the first few days, but will mellow over time. It keeps for two months in the fridge; do not freeze.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent Noodles.

Crackers.

Mayo. Toaster pastries.

Sauerkraut. Ranch dressing. Vanilla. Chicken nuggets.

What do all these things have in common? You probably buy them all premade in packages. And you can easily and cheaply make them at home.

Here’s why you should: Homemade food is healthier for you. It tastes better. It costs less. It eliminates unnecessary packaging. And it changes the way you think about food: “After making your pickles, you will think very differently about all pickles,” writes Alana Chernila, author of “The Homemade Pantry: 101 Foods You Can Stop Buying and Start Making” (Clarkson Potter Publishers, 2012).

In other words, when you participate in the pickling process, even just once, you’ve expanded your whole world an inch or two. You cross over from ignorance to enlightenment. Keep doing that and your mind will never grow old.

■ The next recipe is what “curds and whey” are all about. Use fresh ricotta in Italian recipes like lasagna, spread it on toast, or just eat it straight like cottage cheese (best drizzled with olive oil). Add the heavy cream if you want the full-fat (full-flavor) version; skip it if you’re watching calories. There’s also a nifty trick for keeping your milk from scalding.

Ricotta (Makes about 3/4 pound or 1 1/2 cups) 1/2 gallon whole milk 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (from 1 1/2 to 2 lemons) Optional: 1/2 cup heavy cream Optional: kosher or sea salt to taste Ice a large, heavy pot.* Add the milk and the lemon juice, and the cream, if using, to the pot. Stir without touching the bottom of the pot for five seconds.

Place the pot over low heat and attach a candy or cheese thermometer to the inside of the pot. Heat the milk mixture to 175 F. This should take 40 to 50 minutes, and you can stir once or twice over the course of this time.

Raise the heat to medium high and, without stirring, watch the pot until the temperature reaches 205 F (three to five minutes). The surface of the milk should look like it is about to erupt, but it shouldn’t boil. Remove the pot from the heat and let sit for 10 minutes. Now you have curds and whey**.

Lay a fine-meshed sieve over a large bowl or jar, and line it with a double layer of damp cheesecloth.

Using a large slotted spoon, scoop the curds into the cheesecloth. Let the cheese drain for 10 minutes, and

Make your own vanilla extract, hot sauce HOMEMADE, from pg. 9A Gather yourself some speecy spicy chile peppers and make your own hot sauce. Who needs the bottled stuff?

Remember, the hotter the peppers, the more you can brag about the heat.

Hot Sauce (Makes 1 1/2 cups) 1 pound mixed hot chiles 1 cup white vinegar 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon lime juice (from 1/2 lime) 2 tablespoons honey Preheat broiler and set a rack 10 inches from the top of the oven. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment. Lay the chiles on the sheet and puncture each with a fork.

Broil until the chiles are black and bubbling, five to 10 minutes. Flip the

chiles with tongs and broil until the other side is black and bubbly.

Put the chiles in a medium bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Let sit for 15 minutes, then the chiles will be ready to come right out of their skins. Put on your gloves. Slide each chile out of its skin, then remove the stem and as many seeds as you can.

Transfer the chiles into a food processor or blender, and add the rest of the ingredients. Blend until smooth, about one minute. It keeps six weeks in a covered container in the fridge, and six months in the freezer.

■ Vanilla extract isn’t exactly cheap in those teensy grocery store bottles, but you can make it by the quart for little money using a skid row brand of booze and some leftover vanilla beans. Plus

After you use the seeds of a vanilla bean in a recipe, rinse off the vanilla bean and put it in the vodka. You’ll need at least three vanilla beans in there for at least three weeks to get a good extract going, but it’s fine to use more beans, too. Your extract is ready when it is a lovely brown color and it smells like vanilla.

Either pour the extract into a new bottle and start over, or keep topping

off the working bottle with vodka and keep shoving more vanilla beans into the bottle. As long as you don’t let it get too empty, you can keep using the extract indefinitely even as you continue to top it off. Store at room temperature; do not freeze.

The Minnesota Historical Society is pleased to offer additional hours at historic sites and museums, and increased hours and improved service at the Gale Family Library After a number of years of flat or declining budgets, the Minnesota Legislature has increased funding for the Minnesota Historical Society’s operating budget, which supports the Minnesota History Center and Gale Family Library, 26 historic sites and museums, care of collections and general operations, educational outreach and other activities.

As a result, the Society is improving access to historic resources by adding hours at six historic sites around the state beginning July 1, and new and expanded services at the Gale Family Library at the Minnesota History Center, beginning this fall.

“The new state budget affirms that history matters to Minnesotans,” said Steve Elliott, director and CEO. “Expanding our open hours at six historic sites and improving research services at our library at the History Center will enable more Minnesotans to explore history firsthand — whether up north in Grand Rapids at the Forest History Center or on the southern Minnesota prairies at Jeffers Petroglyphs or at the History Center in St. Paul.”

The new hours will affect Jeffers Petroglyphs Historic Site, Historic Forestville, Forest History Center, North West Co. Fur Post, Charles A. Lindbergh Historic Site and the Oliver H. Kelley Farm. The funds will provide for additional Saturday hours in the spring and fall for the sites, the addi-

tion of Wednesday hours at Jeffers Petroglyphs Historic Site during the summer, and additional days during the holiday season at the Forest History Center.

The Gale Family Library will also increase hours and offer improved service. Following a survey of researchers and other library patrons, the library will expand hours on Tuesday mornings creating a longer day for users, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. The library will also be implementing new ways to increase access to collections and provide expanded reference services to better meet the needs of patrons throughout Minnesota. The changes will take effect this fall after staff and new technologies are put into place.

The Gale Family Library is located inside the History Center at 345 Kellogg Blvd. W. in St. Paul. Auxiliary aids and services are available with notice of five working days, call (651) 2593300.

Additional information about the 2013 legislative session can be found at online at www.mnhs.org/history matters.

The Minnesota Historical Society is a non-profit educational and cultural institution established in 1849. The Society collects, preserves and tells the story of Minnesota’s past through museum exhibits, libraries and collections, historic sites, educational programs and book publishing. Using the power of history to transform lives, the Society preserves our past, shares our state’s stories and connects people with history. ❖

time. Thanks to this year’s cool, wet spring Seneca harvested a 3,500-pound pea crop three days earlier on June 30.

His best soybean yields in double-cropping? He’s done 40 bushels. Last year he had one field doing 26 bushels; his second field needed more prep work so was planted two weeks later and did only 12 bushels.

What’s ahead for Mehlhouse? “Well, I could be the best gopher-guy at the Round Table at the Chatter Box,” he said, referring to a regular morning coffee shop in Olivia, “and we’ve already got some good ones as you can tell from the chatter each morning.

Getting everything ready to plant anymore is a bigger challenge than the actual planting.

“But agriculture is in my veins forever. It’s a tremendous industry. I’ve enjoyed being a player in this great game of farming. Some big financial challenges ahead because of the tremendous capital inputs of farming today, but the world population keeps growing, and people keep eating, so farming will always be the key player in this entire world economy.”

He’s enjoyed farming and thinks it was a great career choice. “You meet a lot of great people in this business. I’ve been on various boards and did some overseas travels. Now it’s fun to see the young people take hold with new, adventurous ideas,” Mehlhouse said.

Will he or won’t he plant another crop next spring? “I guess we’ll wait and see,” Mehlhouse said. ❖

Exotic species mussel in on Clear Lake, Iowa what kind of lakes they will be installed at,” he said. “It will be based on lakes with current invasive infestations and the amount of boat traffic.”

Besides an area apart from access traffic, the clean-and-drain areas will include compost bins in which anglers will be able to discard unwanted minnows, leeches and other baits, along with any vegetation they remove from their boats.

Historically, public lake access sites have not been equipped with receptacles since people other than boaters frequently are inclined to use them as personal trash disposal facilities, he said.

The bottom line is that while reversing or halting the spread of aquatic invasive species may not be possible, conscientious efforts by boaters can at least slow it down.

And perhaps buy some time until permanent solutions are found.

Conservation officers no longer offer any forgiveness to those who don’t.

Careless or forgetful boaters can be assured of receiving citations.

Boaters will have additional reminders to practice due diligence in coming weeks when the DNR installs “clean-and-drain” areas at public lake access sites around the state.

The areas will be convenient locations at access sites where boaters will be able to pull off and away from other traffic to clean and drain their boats.

The plan is to have them in place at more than 200 public access sites around the state.

Craig Beckman, DNR regional parks and trails supervisor at New Ulm, Minn., said area boaters can expect to see the areas on several local lakes in the coming weeks.

From the Fields: Hate to say it, but some rain needed after the corn tassels. At the farm he is “getting caught up on everything, putting spring to rest.”

By KRISTIN KVENO The Land Correspondent

The Brandts Ada, Minn.

With a good forecast of temperatures in the 80s, including both sunshine and rain, Messner is enjoying the weather and so are the crops.

Attention Mother Nature: Danny Brandt wants you to know that it “wouldn’t hurt my feelings to pick up an easy Danny Brandt inch (of rain).”

For the most part the crops at the Messner farm are looking good, though “the end of the season will come too soon.” But it’s “now getting to that sit-and-watch part of the season,” Messner said.

But please make it easy.

The Laubenthals Swea City, Iowa

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

The Land spoke to Brandt on July 8 and it had been three weeks since the farm had received measurable rainfall. While rain would be welcomed the “temperatures have been pushing everything right along.”

Brandt is working on spraying beans for the second time and is done spraying corn. The corn in one of Brandt’s fields was over his head.

The heat that is helping to make the corn is making work in the shop a bit more of a challenge. Brandt can work in the shop until noon when the heat and dead air become more than uncomfortable. Then it’s time to find some outside work in the breeze.

It’s “pretty sticky out,” Brandt said.

The next group of sows came to the farm, each of the three with nice litter sizes. “It’s been an interesting time keeping the pigs cool,” Brandt said. He is currently using a sprayer and keeping them well-hydrated.

This method has kept the sows and piglets happy and cooler.

Brandt is “enjoying a little lull before harvest.” Next on his to-do list is that he had “better go look at the fall tillage equipment soon. ... Got to make sure the tires can hold air,” Brandt said.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Harvest preparations can wait as thunderstorms are in the forecast for the Brandt farm. With a little luck, maybe Mother Nature will give Brandt an easy inch.

The Johnsons Starbuck, Minn.

The planting/ replanting season is officially over for Scott Johnson.

Scott Johnson

These spring activities aren’t something Johnson ordinarily would be working on in July, but this growing season has been anything but ordinary.

When The Land spoke to Johnson on July 8 he said that five days earlier “we replanted some soybeans,” though he wasn’t sure that they would be able to get a crop out of that replant.

With getting over nine inches of rain in three days a few weeks ago, Johnson believes that while the rain was overwhelming in terms of sheer amount, not much actually soaked in the ground.

The ground is already getting dry again and a little gentle precipitation would be welcome on the Johnson farm. Even with some moisture needed, Johnson feels that “the crop does look a little bit better.” The onceyellow corn is getting greener and catching up, Johnson said. The earlier corn (from May) is chest high.

Johnson is done spraying corn and will be spraying beans this week.

Things are starting to “slow down” on the farm. “Unless we get nice weather in September, we are going to have a later harvest,” Johnson said. Even with the possibility of a late harvest, Johnson is beginning to look toward the fall, “whenever we get time we’ll start harvest prep,” Johnson said.

Johnson needs to look no further than his lawn to tell how the corn crop is doing as he believes that “my grass is a good indication of the corn crop.” Here’s hoping for a lush lawn at the Johnson residence.

The Messners Northfield, Minn.

Corn is growing in the Northfield area, and growing quickly.

Chris Messner has seen corn tipping due to some strong Chris Messner winds in the area.

Charlie Laubenthal has been enjoying the “nice weather” but not his view of the crops — they’re “nothing to Charlie Laubenthal look at.” When The Land spoke to Laubenthal on July 8 he said there is “corn of every height” in his fields.

The corn is also experiencing nitrogen loss due to the excess moisture.

This is the “most bizarre year I have ever seen,” Laubenthal said.

Due to the replanting there has been “plenty of work to do,” he said.

“Seems like you’re doing everything twice this year.” Laubenthal knows farmers who have replanted two times in the same field this year.

Rapid above-ground growth has left the corn plants susceptible to the high winds until the roots catch up and anchor down the plants. The Land spoke to Messner on July 9 and he said that the area hasn’t “had a decent rain in 10 days.”

Though many have just completed final replants, Laubenthal believes that area farmers are aware of what kind of yields they can expect when harvest arrives, “everybody realizes what they have.” The weather as of late has been “decent” though there still remains some standing water in some fields.

The corn on the Messner farm is everywhere from waist high to shoulder high. In two weeks Messner hopes corn will be tasseling. The corn “definitely made up a little ground,” Messner said. “Beans are coming, but still short.”

Laubenthal will plant seed oats in the next week and finally put the planter away for the year. As he finishes the planting, he’ll start working on machinery needed for harvest along with finishing washing field cultivators and sprayers.

The crops are still three weeks behind, but Messner feels that “you can get a lot of make-up time in the summer.”

Looking toward harvest “we don’t need an early frost,” Laubenthal said.

With hope of a late frost and good weather it’s still hard not to be discouraged as Laubenthal estimates that the majority of farmers in the area would say this is the worst crop they have ever seen. ❖

Messner has gotten everything sprayed for the first time. He may still spray the corn with fungicide

Grain Outlook Weather in the driver’s seat

Livestock Angles Grain Angles Livestock looking Watch equipment for direction investments Have recent investments in your grain operation made your business lop-sided?

At times, it can be difficult to look at your operation objectively, but taking a look at all of the numbers related to recent investments is vital in order to get a better idea of how your operation is really sitting.

Recently, many grain farmers have invested large amounts of money in updating equipment and grain handling systems. In the past few years, it was common for me to see that producers had an investment of $350 to $550 per acre in total machinery GLENN WACHTLER value on their farm.

AgStar Assistant VP — I am seeing a larger number of Financial Services Baldwin, Wis. producers recently with the equipment investment per acre ratio significantly above the recommended level of $500 per crop acre. The availability of cash, low interest rates, higher equipment prices and tax considerations have made it easy for even the most careful of producers to exceed this guidance.

There are a few things you can do to bring this level down to a more sustainable range.

• Owning your own grain storage. There are many practical reasons to have grain storage on your farm, but make sure it’s at least as cost effective as commercial alternatives. Including the handling charges, a producer might expect to pay 30 cents per bushel for the storage in that year at a commercial facility.

Considering depreciation and average interest rates, an investment of $1.75 per bushel for on-the-

It almost appears that the livestock markets have been on hold since the first of July.

Obviously this will likely end up being a short-term phenomenon and both the cattle and hog markets will find direction and begin to move once again.

The cattle market has found a rather-tight trading range in recent weeks. There has also been a big change in the basis between cash and futures. There is now a premium of futures over cash which has not been seen for months. The cash sales have been struggling to stay near steady, but have actually declined in JOE TEALE price ever so slightly during the Broker past few weeks.

Great Plains Commodity Cattle numbers are expected to Afton, Minn. increase over the near term since most cattle being placed are heavier than normal going into the feedlots. The beef cutouts have been under pressure as of late with prices basis choice slipping to near $190 per hundredweight basis choice. The boxed beef movement continues to be slow and this continues to indicate weak demand for beef.

So couple the increasing supply of market-ready cattle along with weak demand for beef and the outlook for prices appears to be on the soft side for cattle through the summer months. Producers should keep aware of the market conditions and use premiums to their advantage to protect their inventories through the next several months.

Forecasts are a moving target, but the areas to watch are centered in the western Corn Belt, particularly Iowa at this time.

The Des Moines airport is reporting this July is so far the driest since 1975.

Corn pollination is moving north, with most areas of the country expecting to see tassels PHYLLIS NYSTROM in the next week, with pollination CHS Hedging Inc. in full swing in two weeks. Crop St. Paul conditions fell 2 percent to 66 percent good/excellent as of July 14 and another decline is anticipated for the July 21 report.

December corn closed lower just twice this week, but the losses outweighed the daily gains. December corn closed at $5 3/4 per bushel, down 8 1/2 cents for the week. The September contract was much more indecisive as it waffled back and forth daily. The inverse between the September and December contracts soared upward as old crop corn needs to be enticed out of growers’ hands and into the pipeline.

There doesn’t seem to be much consensus on what the number has to be for growers to part with their remaining old crop bushels. September corn was only down 1 1/2 cents this week, closing at $5.44 per bushel. Basis levels improved to help encourage that movement, but mostly to no avail. As long as ethanol

Soybeans trended higher, but were choppy along the way NYSTROM, from pg. 15A margins are attractive and selling is tight, basis should hold.

The United States missed out on new crop export sales again this week as South Korea sourced corn for September and December from South Africa and the Black Sea respectively.

Reportedly, Black Sea corn for December was 60 to 70 cents per bushel cheaper than U.S. corn. Weekly export sales of 6 million bushels for old crop were good, while 62.6 million bushels for new crop were excellent.

The new crop sales however were expected with last week’s sale to China already accounted for.

Argentina’s ag ministry revised their corn crop estimate significantly higher to 32.1 million metric tons from 26.1 mmt and compared to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 26.5 mmt forecast. They cited an increase in planted acreage of 22 percent to account for the new estimate. If true, this makes for tougher export competition for the United States; but many eyebrows have been raised in ques-

tioning the new number.

Weekly ethanol production dropped 5,000 barrels to 876,000 barrels, but is still 9 percent higher than last year. Ethanol inventories were up 36 million gallons for the week at 696 million gallons.

A report out of North Dakota’s Farm Service Agency this week indicated that 4.4 million acres had been enrolled in the prevented plant insurance program, with most of the acres centered in the northern half of the state.

OUTLOOK: Weather is king and nothing is in the works to dethrone it.

This isn’t much different in that regard than most other years. Price direction will ebb and tide with the latest, greatest forecasts. Until we are further along with pollination, the $4.90 support should hold on the downside and $5.30 on the upside.

Last year December corn peaked in the throes of a drought on Aug. 10, in 2011 the summer rally didn’t end until the end of August. Funds reduced their net short corn position in corn by

Study entire business plan WACHTLER, from pg. 15A farm storage amortizes out to be roughly the same as commercial storage. Compare your return on storage over the past three to five years to the 30 cents per bushel to make sure you capture the basis improvement and futures carry in the market to pay for the storage.

• Invest in non-tangible assets. Consider your farm’s need for transition and legal planning and accounting systems. Have the investments in these areas been proportionate to the tangible assets on your balance sheet?

Ill-fated transition and legal plans generally are not a problem on the farm until they become a large potential problem for either you or your successors.

It may take several years to properly position these plans and starting earlier will make the process easier.

Investing in a meaningful amount of life insurance should be part of almost every farm. A good accounting system will let you have clarity when making the decisions on the farm. The benefits of a quality accounting system include making growth of your business easier to plan for and also add transparency for your bankers, partners and successors.

• Finally, think safety. If you know there are areas on your farm where potential problems could occur, investing in improving the safety of those areas will be money well spent if it saves you or someone on your farm from injury or death.

Now is the time to start looking at other areas of your business. Make sure your farm has enough working capital for a rainy day. Plan to achieve a healthy $300 per acre of cash, grain inventory, prepaid expenses and accounts receivable after all of your current liabilities are subtracted. Current liabilities can be payables, operating loans and yearly payments. Look at building your working capital to this level as an investment in your farm.

Once you think objectively about all of these areas of your business, and act accordingly, your grain operation will be more well-rounded and well-positioned for whatever the future may bring.

110,000 contracts as of July 16 as reported on the commitment of traders report. The history and fund action adds to the uncertainty of direction.

SOYBEANS — November soybeans trended higher for the week, but were choppy during the week.

November soybeans rose just 16 3/4 cents for the week to settle at $12.74 per bushel. A feature to this week’s trading was the exploding AugustNovember inverse. It traded as wide as $2.18 3/4 premium August. Basis levels fell as the board climbed. Meal inverses also stretched wider this week to as wide as $60 in the AugustSeptember and $95 August-October.

August soybean futures jumped 61 3/4 cents higher this week, closing at $14.90 3/4 per bushel. Fund length in soybeans continues to rise, up another 8,000 contracts on the commitment of traders’ report as of July 16.

Meal shipments on this week’s export report were huge at 215,500 mt, which is a little unusual for this time of year. This punctuated the sharp price gains in nearby meal and soybeans. New meal sales at 41,600 mt were also high enough for traders to believe the USDA’s forecast is 200,000 to 300,000 mt too low.

Soybean sales were 4.1 million bushels for old crop and 21.7 million bushels for new crop. The USDA also announced a 165,000 mt new crop bean sale to China in their daily reporting. There have been rumors of Argentina meal making its way to the United States.

While economically it penciled this week, the timing and logistics make this a remote alternative and no boats are in the lineup bound for the United States. The June National Oilseed Processors Association crush this week

was announced at 119 million bushels, anywhere from 2 million to 4 million bushels higher than projections. This pace suggests that the yearly crush estimate may be 20 million to 25 million bushels too low based on the USDA’s current 1.660 billion bushel forecast.

TEALE, from pg. 15A

appear that our typical summer high is in the process of being built at this time. This would normally result in hog prices declining into the fall before finding a bottom.

With economic conditions still weak and domestic disposable income shrinking, further growth in demand for pork seems unlikely at these current price levels. The futures market is anticipating this change in direction and remains at a discount to cash in all contracts, both nearby and deferred.

Therefore, producers need to be prudent about market conditions and protect their inventories where needed. ❖

OUTLOOK: Soybean conditions fell 2 percent last week to 65 percent good/excellent and are expected to fall another 1 to 2 percent as of July 21.

This keeps weather in the spotlight for new crop direction. Old crop price direction is dependent on demand, and crush margins are excellent. November beans are a $12.25 to $13.25 market, all dependent on weather and how much support they garner from old crop tightness.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending July 19: Minneapolis wheat dropped 16 cents, Chicago fell 16 1/2 cents and Kansas City was only down 3 1/4 cents. Energies continued their upswing with August crude oil up $2.10 at $108.05, ultra-low-sulfur diesel up 6 cents, gasoline 1/2 cent higher and natural gas up 14 1/2 cents. West Texas Intermediate crude oil traded higher than nearby Brent crude oil briefly and for the first time since August 2010. For the week, the Dollar Index was down 0.306 percent late in the day July 19 and the Dow was 136 points higher.

Pork growth seems unlikely eral months. Good demand for pork was the catalyst behind the recent strength. However, as the pork cutout advanced over the $100/cwt. area, resistance to the higher prices began to surface.

The result has been that packers have become a little more selective in the bidding for live inventory and thus cash prices have slipped in recent days.

This is creating the same fate as other markets for the hog market — that high prices are the cure for high prices.

A lot of questions remain about farm bill’s future PROGRAMS, from pg. 17A provide for continuing farm commodity programs, in the event that a new farm bill was not enacted by the expiration date of the previous farm bill.

Many farm organizations feel that this will make it much easier for Congress to totally eliminate farm supports and “safety nets” in the future. Conservation programs, rural development, trade programs and other USDA programs would not be part of the proposed Title I in the House farm bill; however, most of these programs are also not covered by the current permanent farm law.

Key questions remain in the political process for a new farm bill • Will the U.S. House now pass additional legislation dealing with the Nutrition Title (SNAP) in the current farm bill, which are included in the Senate version of the farm bill?

• Will the U.S Senate be willing to go to Conference Committee with the U.S. House on a new farm bill that does not include a Nutrition Title?

• Will removal of the 1949 and 1938 Permanent Farm Law, which is in the House farm bill, but not in the Senate farm bill, end up in the Conference Committee farm bill?

• Will the Conference Committee be able to resolve differences on dairy policy, crop insurance eligibility and other differences in the Senate and House versions of the new farm bill?

• If the Conference Committee were to reach agreement on either the Senate version of the new farm bill, or the so-called “farm only” House farm bill, will there be enough support in both the U.S. Senate and U.S. House to give final passage to a new farm bill?

• If the Conference Committee farm bill is passed by the U.S. Senate and U.S. House, will President Obama sign the new farm bill into law?

• If the Conference Committee cannot reach agreement on a new farm bill later this year, will the 2008 farm bill be extended for yet another year through 2014?

cents. Cheese averaged $1.7201, down 6.1 cents, and dry whey averaged 57.69 cents, up 0.6 cent.

■ Looking “back to the futures,” second half federal order 2013 Class III contracts portended an $18.48/cwt. average on June 14. That figure slipped to $18.34 June 21, $17.87 on June 28, $18.02 on July 5, $17.91 on July 12, and was trading around $18.29 late-morning July 19.

■ Feed prices were projected to be lower next year in this week’s Livestock, Dairy and Poultry Outlook but it warned that producers are likely to respond slowly as milk prices remain flat to down. Large stocks of cheese and butter will dampen prices.

Nonfat dry milk stocks are high as well, but the USDA says strong exports will strengthen prices somewhat.

Corn prices for the 2012-13 year were unchanged in July at $6.75 to $7.15 per bushel. For the 2013-14 year, corn prices were also unchanged from last month at $4.40 to $5.20/bu.

The production forecast for the 2013 corn crop was lowered based on lower expected harvested acreage. However, slightly higher imports and reduced feed and residual use maintained prices.The soybean meal price forecast remained at $290 to $330 per ton where it was in June.

According to the most recent Agricultural Prices report, preliminary June alfalfa prices were $220/ton, fractionally lower than May but 10 percent above the June 2012 price.

Conventional milk products were off 1.6 while organic sales were up 8 percent from a year earlier.

Checking the milk supply; California output stabilized the week of July 8 as temperatures were more moderate, according to the USDA’s weekly update. Processing plants saw milk intakes down 8 to 15 percent during the height of the heat wave. Arizona milk continues to decline as a direct result of the hot weather and the duration of the weather cycle. The forecast of increasing humidity and the resulting “monsoon season” will likely foreshadow additional milk declines.

Milk production in the Pacific Northwest has improved as cooler nighttime weather helped relieve heat stress on cows although some of that heat returned the following week. Overall milk receipts are off as cows slowly recover.

Idaho and Utah production was also lower from the hot weather though some recovery was being noted as the extreme weather abated.

Anecdotal reports from Central region milk haulers indicate farm milk loads are decreasing in volume as summer advances. Components in the milk are also dropping in step with the arrival of rising daytime temperatures and humidity.

■ Pricewise, the August federal order Class I base milk price was announced by the USDA this week at $18.88 per hundredweight, down 3 cents from July, but $2.33 above August 2012, and equates to about $1.62 per gallon.

The 2013 Class I average now stands at $18.39, up from $16.36 at this time a year ago and compares to $18.91 in 2011 and $14.74 in 2010.

The AMS-survey butter price used in calculating the base price averaged $1.4902/lb., down 6.9 cents from July. Nonfat dry milk averaged $1.7131, up 3.1

MIELKE, from pg. 20A kets related to weather and other factors the second week of July, according to the DMN. Hot weather across much of the west was causing concern over cream supplies and was making it difficult to move it long distances. Central butter production remains strong but “the rate of growth has slowed as ice cream manufacturing is increasingly siphoning cream from the churns, according to the DMN. Northeast cream cheese manufacturers are already drawing cream to produce for fall orders and ice cream manufacturers have increased cream interest as hotter weather has arrived. These factors leave butter production down.

FAS reports exports of butter and milkfat for January to May totaled 56.1 million pounds, down 2 percent or 0.9 million pounds from a year ago. Butter and milkfat exports accounted for 6.4 percent of total U.S. butter production for the year.

■ The trade-weighted index of prices on the July 16 GlobalDairyTrade jumped 4.9 percent, according to FC Stone’s eDairy Insider Closing Bell.

Whole milk powder led the gains, up an average 7.7 percent, including a 12.5 percent jump for September contract prices. Butter milk powder prices gained an average 4.8 percent, including a 5.2 percent increase for September; anhydrous milk fat was up 3.6 percent; skim milk powder climbed 3.3 percent; and cheddar added 2.1 percent. On the down side, average prices for rennet casein fell 5 percent and butter lost 0.3 percent.

GDT prices are over $2/lb. for cheese and skim milk powder is making domestic end-users nervous, according to FC Stone Risk Management consultant Ron O’Brien. “Inventory of cheese coming to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange spot market is probably not as available as it had been,” he said. “And, the market gets to a point where shorts run out of ammunition. ... Hot weather also adds support.”

■ Meanwhile, May fluid milk sales were estimated at 4.3 billion pounds, according to the USDA’s latest data, down 1.2 percent from May 2012.

Panther Distillery, Osakis, Minn.

That’s Greg Farber (far left in photo) of Osakis, Minn., talking. He farms a bit north of town and makes whiskey at the 2-year-old Panther Distillery on the town’s edge.

Farber is part of a team of distillers and distillery workers that includes Master Distiller Brett Grinager and owner Adrian Panther (far right). Their first product, which was released this spring, is White Water Whiskey.

It’s an unaged, crystal clear, corn whiskey that is being sold in numbered bottles in liquor stores. Thanks to a just-passed Minnesota law we were able to sample a shot from bottle number 148. I was prepared for the bite that I associate with whiskey. I’m still waiting.

“That’s really smooth,” my surprised wife said.

Next we tried an apple whiskey that will be released when the distillery receives the government’s green light.

“We use fresh apple juice, real cinnamon sticks, and lots of brown sugar,” Panther said. “What does it taste like?”

Apples!

“We use Minnesota-grown apple juice when we can get it,” Grinager said.

Minnesota grains are easier to come by than Minnesota apple juice. Grinager points out the back door of the distillery to the Osakis Cooperative Creamery elevator.

“They bring us 10 tons of No. 2 yellow corn per week,” he said.

“We also buy wheat and barley from local farmers.”

On a good day the Panther Distillery distills 300 gallons of highquality alcohol. There are 15 500-gallon fermenting tanks bubbling away at any one time. There are also three hard-working copper pot-bellied stills and a couple big stainless steel mash cookers.

“We get about 50 gallons of high-quality drinking alcohol per 500gallon batch,” Grinager said.

What is drinkable alcohol is determined by the master distiller.

“It’s important to have just one person tasting for quality,” Grinager said. “That way you get a consistent product.”

In a batch of distilled alcohol there are the head, the tail and the heart. The tail goes to farmers for feed, the head is saved as a solution to clean the equipment, and the heart goes directly into a bottle or into a barrel for aging.

You can find the heart from Panther Distillery at over 400 Minnesota establishments from Jackson to Waskish. You can also stop by the distillery during business hours for a tour and a sample.

Pork industry: Richter shares ‘cautious optimism’ tious optimism about this business transaction. “China is the largest pork-eating population in the world.

As a producer I’m looking at this as an opportunity for more Americanproduced pork to enter into this rapidly expanding marketplace. To me this creates additional production and marketing opportunities industrywide.”

She views business decisions as part of the ongoing globalization of the swine industry. “You look at the marketing data over the years and any time the tonnage picks up there seems to be benefits across the board to producers, processors and marketers.”

The newly elected members to the National Pork Board take office at the July meeting of the board at the Wisconsin Dells.

Richter was interviewed at the World Pork Expo in Des Moines in early June. ❖

Hopefully new science will rapidly rescue pork producers from porcine epidemic diarrhea, a talking issue at the recent World Pork Expo. Richter said this is a new disease to the United States but actually has been a health issue for pork producers in other parts of the world for many decades.

She said the NPB quickly appropriated $450,000 to address the PED issue. First identified in two states, it so far is mostly a Midwestern concern.

She said Paul Sundberg, science and technology senior vice president of the National Pork Board, is working with veterinary diagnostic labs across the hog belt to most rapidly develop strategies to control and cure the PED disease. PED is a transmissible gastroenteritis-like virus.

THE LAND, JULY 26, 2013

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer As farmers are so keenly aware, the politics of the new farm bill are a constantly changing chess game.

A good example: a potential agreement between the Humane Society of United States and the United Egg Producers emerged Howard Hill “behind the scenes” as a potential major issue of proposed language in the new farm bill, according to Howard Hill, newly elected president of the National Pork Producers Council.

“If that proposal got into the farm bill it would set a precedent for national legislation telling producers how to raise their animals. ... Even though the proponents say it doesn’t include other livestock, we just don’t have confidence that it wouldn’t be the next step.”

Hill likely speaks for all pork producers and livestock farmers in general when he said that the NPPC feels producers are the best judge of the right way to raise their animals, rather than legislators in Washington, D.C. As a veterinarian graduate from Iowa State University and 13 years with Iowa Select Farms, the last 10 as chief operations officer, Hill is well qualified to comment regarding swine handling, especially when it comes to the issue of farrowing stalls.

“Stalls will be with us for the foreseeable future.

Stalls provide individual protection for sows and immeasurably more comfort and protection for nursing baby pigs,” Hill said in a visit with The Land at the June World Pork Expo in Des Moines.

He cuts to the quick in a discussion of stalls versus open pens. He said the position of the NPPC is that it should be the producer’s choice, not some legislative mandate from Washington, D.C. “It’s not the system; it’s the management of the system that makes the difference. We’re talking about the husbandry skills of the animal caretaker that is most important in determining the comfort of those sows,” he said.

There’s a lot of different ways to house sows and whatever an individual producer can best do is how he/she should be allowed to do, Hill said.

He steps politely aside as to which part of the country is best equipped for profitable hog production.

Pork industry: Big change in size, scale of industry “Yes, pork can indeed be that healthful product especially in view of the growing obesity issue across America.”

Spronk Brothers III LLP is a family owned operation. They own their sows which are professionally managed in the Pipestone System; they have their own on-farm feed mill and they do farrow-to-finish, as well as grow much of their corn, fertilized with manure from their own swine operation.

Is the purchase of Smithfield Foods by a Chinese business entity an endorsement of U.S. pork? He said that 30 years back Japan was a rapidly growing market for U.S. pork. Today China is the No. 1 value export customer of U.S. pork purchasing over $2 billion per year. So even more pork going into China, the biggest consumer market in the world for U.S. pork will only be accelerated with this business transaction. ❖

2013 FARMFEST ANNUAL

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Number of exhibitors make Farmfest fourth biggest in U.S.

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Inevitably farm shows get down to “bragging rights.” And invariably that relates to how many people attend a particular event, as well as how many exhibitors shows their wares.

Farmfest, doing its 23rd annual show, is now the fourth largest agricultural show in the country. Farm Progress Shows, the biggest in America, is at Decatur, Ill., this year, so attendance at Farmfest is likely to swell even more.

Farmfest 2013 is Aug. 6-8 at the Gilfillan Estate in Redwood County, Minn.

“We’re excited. We’re very pleased with the growing number of exhibitors that are now buying into Farmfest. And our farm attendance has been terrific. We modestly call this the biggest three-day ‘fun at the farm’ conference in America,” said

Ray Bianchi, vice president of Cygnus Expositions, the firm that conducts farm shows in Minnesota, South Dakota, Texas and Illinois.

New at Farmfest this year is a new Wicks building that replaces the former “Forum Tent.” “This new center will be the location for all the education forums plus Lynn Ketelsen’s (Linder Farm Network) Noon Time Jamboree radio shows. It’s a big red building right in the middle of our grounds,” Bianchi said. This new facility will be climatized so that winter events can also be staged on the Farmfest grounds.

Farmfest is “sold out” in terms of additional space for additional exhibitors. Bianchi said they are 120 percent sold out, meaning there is waiting list of exhibitors.

Farm bill forum expected to draw national crowd

FARMFEST, from pg. 2F coordinated by Kent Thiesse of MinnStar Bank in Lake Crystal, Minn., has even more variety for 2013, Bianchi said.

For example the opening session on Aug. 6, is on grain marketing. In view of concerning questions about the accuracy of U.S. Department of Agriculture projections for the 2013 crops, this will be a lively session.

(See Page 22F for a schedule of forums.)

“Reaching an Endpoint on a New Farm Bill” on Aug. 6 continues the unrest in agriculture with a panel discussion about the pending new farm bill. Panel members include U.S. Reps. Collin Peterson and Tim Walz, Roger Johnson of the National Farmers Union, Dale Moore of American Farm Bureau Federation and Bob Worth, Minnesota grower and vice president of the American Soybean Association.

Bianchi said national media coverage plus all the Twin Cities TV channels will be on deck. “So this should be a very exciting session.”

The afternoon forum might also be filled with verbal fisticuffs since that session focuses on renewable energy policies currently in place in America and new proposals to expand the role of renewable energy in America, and perhaps elsewhere. U.S. Sen. Al Franken will provide major insights from a governmental point of view.

At 3 p.m. on Aug. 6 the interest and intensity is not likely to lessen, with the forum “Enhancing Ag Production and Water Quality with Managed Drainage Systems.” Energy issues even continue into the evening of that first day with a biodiesel tractor pull scheduled at 6:30 p.m. at the Redwood County Fairgrounds.

The 10: 30 a.m. forum on Day 2 will deal with agriculture from a media perspective.

Tom Rothman, former farm radio man and now director of ag stakeholder outreach of the University of Minnesota College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences, will moderate this forum. The overriding question: Is agriculture getting a fair break in the media?

That afternoon’s forum will look at “How We Raise Our Livestock — Who Should Decide.” Speakers from pork, beef, poultry and milk producer groups will offer their insight.

What’s ahead for students majoring in agriculture?

An Aug. 8 session will present the nuts and bolts of just how big a future is ahead for students getting into agriculture.

At 1:30 p.m. Aug. 8, the Minnesota Farm Families of the Year will be honored.

Technology nerds should have a blast at this year’s Farmfest. Bianchi said more than 30 exhibitors will be putting the focus on technology. All told over 1.3 million square feet of exhibit space will be on parade.

Gilfillan and Farmfest: the ideal pair C.O. died in 1962 at the age of 90.

When Anna died in 1990 at the age of 95, her will bequeathed the Gilfillan farm site to the Redwood County Historical Society in honor of C.O. to preserve the history of the estate and the surrounding area.

The will stipulated that the history should be available to the public, so the historical society began conducting tours in 1993. A number of volunteers organized the Friends of Gilfillan, a group that oversees maintenance and tours as well as private and public events.

Ten years after C.O.’s death when Vernon Center, Minn., hosted the world plowing contest, the seeds of Farmfest were planted. In 1977, Marlyn Buss bought Farmfest’s name and records after the organization went bankrupt. In 1982, he organized a Farmfest on his dad’s farm east of Lake Crystal, Minn. The summer event stayed there for eight years

THE LAND — 2013 FARMFEST ANNUAL

By CAROLYN VAN LOH The Land Correspondent The story of Farmfest’s home at the Gilfillan Estate began in 1882 when Charles D. (C.D.) Gilfillan invested in 13,000 acres west of Morgan, Minn.

Born in New Hartford, N.Y., in 1831, C.D. was a prosperous St. Paul businessman, attorney and political leader.

C.D.’s legacy to St. Paul was his leadership and financial support in building the city’s first underground water system. His fiscal responsibilities included 37 years on the board of directors of First National Bank, 17 years as the bank’s vice president and founder of the First Trust Co. of St. Paul.

Charles O. (C.O.) Gilfillan succeeded his father in managing the Redwood County farm system after the elder Gilfillan’s death in 1902 at the age of 71. He and his wife, Anna, amassed a fortune by building on the foundation laid by C.D., but they generously gave of their resources to area communities for a hospital, park or museum.

GILFILLAN, from pg. 31F before moving to the Austin, Minn., area for four years.

Location and expenses presented major challenges for Farmfest. The site was “bad from the start,” Buss said.

After an interview by Brian Langeland of Red-

wood Falls KGLR radio the last day of Farmfest in 1992, the two men were discussing the future of the show. Marlyn mentioned he was looking for a new location.

“I asked him if he had ever considered the Redwood Falls area because it was between the top two corn and soybean producing counties of Minnesota

The following week Langeland and radio station manager Mike Neudecker guided Buss on a tour of the area. They also introduced him to Pete Iverson of the Redwood Area Development Corp. He connected Buss with the Gilfillan Estate.

“Pete really stepped forward and helped us get established,” said Buss, who continued ownership for four years.

The arrival of Farmfest in 1993 motivated Friends of Gilfillan volunteers to erect a pavilion to serve homemade ice cream made the old-fashioned handcrank way. Income from sales of the refreshing summer treat and hot lunches goes back into improvements of the grounds and buildings which provide a tranquil setting for weddings, family reunions and public events.

A two-cylinder engine club arranges for historical exhibits and demonstrations during the three-day farm show.

This year, 75 families from throughout Minnesota will be honored as a 2013 Farm Family of the Year by the University of Minnesota.

The families will be recognized in ceremonies set for 1:30 to 3 p.m. Aug. 8 at the annual Minnesota Farmfest near Redwood Falls.

Local Extension committees chose the families for demonstrating commitment to enhancing and supporting agriculture. The families represent each county participating in the program.

“Farm families and agriculture are a major driver of Minnesota’s economy and the vitality of Minnesota’s rural communities,” said Bev Durgan, dean of University of Minnesota Extension.

“The University of Minnesota is proud to recognize these outstanding families for their contributions to agriculture and their communities.”

A sampling of families and the breadth of their contributions to agriculture follows, as does a complete list.

Samantha Smith, Blue Earth County Samantha Smith is an agribusiness production student in her second year at S. Smith E. Thurston B. Stevermer J. Sorenson A. Praus A. Munstertieger T. Munstertieger South Central College in North Mankato, Minn. Smith would like to work as a promotion director and promote agriculture.

She thinks that antibiotic use concerns are one of the biggest issues the swine industry is battling right now. She is concerned that consumers do not understand the “actual” way farmers use antibiotics on their farms. She believes education is the M. Schwartz L. Becker E. Wagener D. Welter J. Carlson R. Breeggemann E. Wicker key to dealing with this issue.

Smith’s part time job at Wakefield Pork has had a big impact on her.

AMBASSADORS, from pg. 36F with hopes to continually improve meat quality and genetics.

Thurston believes the ambassador program is a great way to become a leader and speak out about the swine industry. She would like to learn more and share her knowledge with the public by being the state Pork Industry Ambassador.

“I think as producers, we need the public to trust what we are doing and why we are doing it,” Thurston said. “It is important for producers to take time to speak with the public about common practices used on farms.”

Thurston is active in 4-H, specifically in the swine project. She loves showing her pigs at the county and state level. She takes pride in educating the fairgoers when she is there. “I usually stand by my pigs and ask anybody walking by if they have any questions.”

She thinks education is the single most important thing to create trust between producer and consumer.

Brett Stevermer, Faribault County Brett Stevermer would like to be the state Pork Industry Ambassador, because he wants to promote an industry that has been part of his life since day one. He believes it would be a great way for him to be involved not only in the community he grew up in, but in his home state as well.

“I would have a positive attitude as the Minnesota Pork Industry Ambassador. I will work hard and be dedicated to this great industry,” Stevermer said.

Stevermer will be attending the University of Minnesota in the fall, majoring in engineering. He has a strong passion for automobiles and an interest in making vehicles more efficient. He would like to make technology more accessible to those living in a rural community.

Stevermer has held many leadership positions and part-time jobs that have helped him obtain many beneficial skills. He helps out at home on the farm and has learned many valuable lessons with that, as well as being a member of 4-H, band, choir, student government and National Honor Society. “These experiences have taught me commitment and perseverance. I’ve learned the importance of time management and sticking to my word,” Stevermer said.

Jacob Sorenson, Freeborn County Jacob Sorenson believes he would be a good Minnesota Pork Industry Ambassador because he has a true passion for the swine industry. He enjoys talking to consumers and producers about the industry and would like to better educate the public.

Sorenson plans to attend South Dakota State University in the fall as an agriculture system technology student. He wants to learn more about business management, economic management, precision farming, marketing and agriculture engineering. “My future excites me, there are many opportunities and careers available in agriculture,” Sorenson said.

Animal care is of the utmost importance to Sorenson, and he believes that this will solve a lot of issues within the industry. Having zero-tolerance for inhumane treatment of pigs will build consumer trust.

In high school, Sorenson was involved in band, State University this fall to study agricultural engi37 choir, plays, FFA, 4-H and was a two-sport athlete. neering.

AMBASSADORS, from pg. 37F involved in 4-H, FFA and Knowledge Bowl. He has a passion for the industry and would like to continue being involved. “Attending the National FFA Convention and the National 4-H Dairy Conference has had a great impact on me and has really encouraged me to pursue a career in the agricultural industry,” Praus said.

Praus would like to be the Minnesota Pork Industry Ambassador because he thinks that pig farmers have a story to tell about current production practices and animal care. “I think that people should know where their food comes from and know how it is responsibly raised,” Praus said.

Praus has worked at Rostad Farms for four years. At the farm, he helps with the dairy, custom hog finishing and crop farming. This job has helped him appreciate agriculture even more, as well as teach him valuable skills, such as: hard work, organization and public relations.

eral public learn more about the industry and what we do to ensure that a high-quality product makes it to their dinner table” Adam Munstertieger said. He enjoys discussing the issues within the industry and what producers are doing to fix them.

Munstertieger will be sophomore at the University of Minnesota, where he studies animal science with an emphasis in swine and beef production and minors in agronomy and applied economics. He is active and has held leadership positions in many clubs, including the Block and Bridle Club, Gopher Dairy Club and Delta Theta Sigma Fraternity.

In the fall, Munstertieger will be a part of the livestock judging team at the university. He feels this will provide him many opportunities to network and share his knowledge. “I will be able to travel across the country and meet and network with numerous producers that excel at what they do,” Munstertieger said.

the industry,” he said. He plans to continue his work at the Swine Barn and believes it will continue to help him learn new things about the industry every day.

Tony Munstertieger, Kanabec County Tony Munstertieger plans to attend SDSU in the fall and pursue a degree in animal science and agricultural business. He wants to be a member of the general livestock judging team, Swine Club and the Block and Bridle Club.

Munstertieger believes the biggest concern in the swine industry is the high corn prices and the low hog prices.

“It may be difficult to change this in the near future, but I would like to learn the most effective way to help producers,” he said.

Munstertieger would like to be the Minnesota Pork Industry Ambassador so that he can learn more about the industry and become proactive in combating the issues the industry faces.

He has been active in 4-H, FFA and the general livestock judging team. He believes these programs have impacted him the most and have helped him get to where he is today. “Living on a farm

has helped me learn a lot about the importance of working hard,” he said.

Miranda Schwartz, Le Sueur County Miranda Schwartz plans to attend the University of Minnesota to study agricultural education. She would like to be the Minnesota Pork Industry Ambassador because she could educate people in Minnesota about the importance of pork and the farmers who are producing it.

Schwartz believes the pork industry struggles with the issue of consumer misconceptions. She believes talking to children at school is important, so that they learn about animals and agriculture while they are young. This will help minimize the misconceptions they have in their adult life.

Being in 4-H and working on the farm with her father has had the greatest impact on her life. She has learned a lot about agriculture, especially the pork and crop industries. This has helped her expand her knowledge and share her passion with others.

“I am able to impact the youth in my club and county, giving them the guidSee AMBASSADORS, pg. 39F

into my future career,” Wagener said.

Dillon Welter, Olmsted County Dillon Welter plans to attend SDSU in the fall majoring in agricultural systems technology. Welter believes his options will be wide open for a career when he graduates, because technology is always changing and improving.

He wants to become active in the Swine Club, Block and Bridle Club and many other campus activities.

One issue in the pork industry is consumer confidence and trust. Welter believes that consumers do not like when they do not know where their food is coming from. He has helped with the effort to improve confidence in consumers by handing out samples in grocery stores, and having conversations with people. He thinks this is a great way to gain trust and get consumers to consume more pork.

Raising and showing pigs at the county and state level have been Welter’s favorite part of being in the swine industry. He has enjoyed being able to raise all of his own show pigs, and it has taught him a lot about responsibility. When it is time to show, he gets to see that all of his hard work paid off.

In high school, Welter was an active member of his FFA chapter, 4-H club, soccer, golf, band, choir, National Honor Society, BPA, pork producers and Farm Bureau. He also took part in many community and leadership activities.

Jaden Carlson, Pipestone County Jaden Carlson would enjoy being the Minnesota Pork Industry Ambassador because she has been active in the agricultural industry.

Over the years, she has acquired a passion for the swine industry and would like to spread a positive light and communicate to the public about this great industry.

“I know how to talk to consumers and spread a positive message to consumers,” Carlson said.

Carlson feels that one of the difficulties that the industry has encountered is antibiotic use. “Educating consumers about the on-farm practices we have is going to help deal with this issue,” she said. She enjoys working with consumers to develop an understanding of how pork is raised.

Carlson is a student at North Dakota State University, where she is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in microbiology. Upon graduation, she will con-

Erin Wicker, Stearns County 39 Erin Wicker would like to be the F Minnesota Pork Industry Ambassador because she has passion for agriculture and the swine industry.

She likes to take on leadership opportunities where she can express her passion and share her knowledge. “It would be an honor to represent porkproducing families in Minnesota,” Wicker said.

She believes that there is a large disconnection between the farmer and the consumer. If this problem is not addressed, it will only continue to get worse. “Encouraging agricultural education in schools would have a positive impact in bridging the gap between producers and consumers,” Wicker said.

At a young age, Wicker started working on her family farm, where she learned many skills and developed her passion for agriculture and swine. She has learned the value of hard work and honesty, as well as the importance of agriculture.

Wicker attends SDSU. She is double majoring in animal science and agricultural education, with an emphasis in leadership. Later, she plans to continue her education to become a veterinarian that focuses specifically on swine. ❖

AMBASSADORS, from pg. 38F ance and support so that they grow into people who are passionate about agriculture,” Schwartz said.

Levi Becker, Martin County Levi Becker would like to be the Minnesota Pork Industry Ambassador because pigs have always been a part of his life. He has grown up around pigs and has learned a lot over the years from his family. He feels confident that he would be able to promote and share his knowledge with consumers.

Becker is the fourth generation on his family farm. When he completes school he wants to return to the family farm to work alongside his dad, uncle and grandpa. “I look forward to following the footsteps of my family because they have taught me a lot of what I know,” he said.

Educating the future generations and those removed from farms is one of the biggest struggles the pork industry faces. Many people do not understand why farms do what they do. “Encouraging and supporting agricultural classes in school, FFA and 4H will be most valuable in the future,” Becker said.

Becker was active in 4-H, FFA, baseball, basketball and football in high school. He also helps out on the farm.

Emily Wagener, Martin County Emily Wagener will be a senior at Fairmont High School. She is active in her school and community and is a member of FFA and 4-H. These organizations have helped her find her passion for agriculture and the swine industry.

Wagener would like to be the Minnesota Pork Industry Ambassador because she likes to talk with people and promote the pork industry.

Wagener believes there are a lot of positive aspects of agriculture that need to be shared.

One of the issues that Wagener believes the swine industry is facing is the price of feed. In order to reduce some costs on the farm, Wagener suggests a switch to wet-dry feeders to improve feed efficiency. This is going to be vital this year in Minnesota, due to the weather that we have had.

4-H has had a great impact on Wagener that will be helpful for her future. “Twelve years ago when I showed at my first livestock show, I knew it was something I really loved and was passionate about. This has given me a passion that I will carry

tinue her education to pursue a master’s and doctorate in microbiology.

She hopes to operate her own business in animal vaccination research and development one day.

Richard Breeggemann, Scott County Richard Breeggemann is attending South Central College in North Mankato, Minn., where he is majoring in agronomy. After his two years at SCC he plans to attend the University of Minnesota to pursue a degree in plant science. He hopes to be involved in agronomy after he is done with school.

“I would like to be the Minnesota Pork Industry Ambassador so I can be an advocate for Minnesota pork farms,” Breeggemann said. “I realize how important it is that consumers know the many benefits of pork.”

One of the issues that the swine industry faces is the use of pork in school lunches, he said. He believes that we need to work to get pork back into school lunch programs because it is a lean protein that is healthy for children to consume.

Breeggemann has been involved in 4-H, FFA, football and church festival.

In college he is active in Scott County Pork Producer’s Burger Stand and Post Ag Secondary where he promotes agriculture to the local community.
