BHP’s big, fat investment up north now looks to be a big, fat loser, Taylor figured.

That very real consequence, he continued, could be reason enough for Uralkali’s leap out of the potash cabal.

“Uralkali’s production cost is around $60 per metric ton,” related the Auburn professor. “So, if potash prices fall from $500 per ton to $300 because of the split, current potash producers still make a windfall while discouraging, even killing, any new entrants into their business. That’s a smart long-term move for the Uralkali and the cartel.”

According to Taylor’s research — which will be highlighted Aug. 9 at the Organization for Competitive Markets annual meeting in Kansas City and soon published by the American Antitrust Institute in Washington, D.C. — the potash shake-up points to how contrived the global fertilizer market remains despite Uralkali’s action.

“Every sector of the fertilizer business is run by firms and cartels with incredible market power,” he said.

These “textbook monopolists” make windfall profits off farmers from India to Indiana and no government anywhere shows any interest in taking ’em on.

That’s reason enough to suspect Uralkali’s time out of the potash cartel might be short, Taylor reckoned; it’s simply too lucrative to “cooperate” than to go it alone.

But the cartel’s bickering is your opportunity.

App celebrates vintage iron Now vintage tractor enthusiasts can test their tractor trivia skills, enjoy stories of classic machines and more, on the go, with a new free smartphone and tablet app from farm broadcaster Max Armstrong.

The interactive “Max Armstrong’s Tractor App” is available for iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets. Users will hear Armstrong inviting them to the app version of his popular TV segment “Max’s Tractor Shed,” to play “Tractor Trivia” and “What Engine is This?” games, and tune in to his daily Midwest Digest reports on Farm Progress America Radio.

They can also download ringtones featuring Armstrong’s voice.

Armstrong, who owns a pair of restored vintage Farmall tractors, is excited to share his passion for iron old and new through the app. He has reported often on the technology agricultural producers use to help them farm more efficiently, to better market their crops and to care for our environment. Providing the free tractor app to growers adds a little levity to the mix.

Max Armstrong’s Tractor App is available for free download from iTunes for iPhone and iPad and from Google Play for Android smartphones and tablets.

As part of the launch of the app, Armstrong also appears in his own music video featuring vintage tractors and a catchy song using his recorded phrases from the app. “Tractor Boy” has had more than 8,000 views on YouTube, and the song is available for download on iTunes, Google Play and as an Amazon MP3.

OPINION

THE LAND, AUGUST 16, 2013

A visit to the rows of machinery at Farmfest shows a farm boy that things have changed in our rural areas.

Everything is much bigger, more expensive and jazzed up with technology.

The sheer size of implements is overwhelming.

Driving a tractor on a road years ago always brought a tinge of fear. Putzing along the shoulder of a highway on a cab-less Farmall H or John Deere 620 — a little slow-moving vehicle sign attached to the back — left you exposed, vulnerable and hoping the cars and semis coming up behind saw you in time and gave you wide berth.

Today, farmers drive down the road in four-wheel drive tractors, sitting high in cabs, encased by 25 tons of steel that would make most any other vehicle on the road come up on the short end of an accident.

But it’s the technology in farming that is aweinspiring today.

Walking the streets of Farmfest created positive impressions about the future of this amazing industry called agriculture. Over 500 exhibitors touted whatever you could imagine in modern agriculture.

Peterson: Farmers would struggle without farm bill

panel, both state and federal, because they’ve done what they can do. He indicated it was pretty obvious to participants that the Tea Party unfortunately is now steering the agenda of Congress when it comes to farm bill legislation.

“They want to blow up the government but they don’t know how to put it back together,” Peterson said, indicating that just responding to crisis issues as they come along makes it impossible for farmers and agricultural businesses to do long-range planning.

“Without a plan in place you’re just going to have politicians picking stuff out of the air based on what region of the country they’re from and it’s going to be a mess,” he said. A reality of this is that commodity groups would likely be battling each other on a regional basis.

Without a farm bill he sees more pressure on means testing, cross-compliance and reducing crop insurance subsidies. “Those shoes haven’t yet dropped in Congress because the Heritage Foundation, and the ‘Big Oil’ boys are coming after RFS (Renewable Fuels Standards); the grocers and food

manufacturers are coming after anything that supports prices because they want to buy it cheaper. So what’s likely to happen is less funding for conservation, crop insurance and the SNAP program (food aid). The bottom line is that the Heritage Foundation wants to pay no taxes and they want it all for themselves,” Peterson said. It’s all about being selfish, were his words.

He questions whether we’re building a so-called entitlement society, pointing out that 80 percent of the people on the SNAP program are at minimum wage or below poverty level. According to the General Accounting Office, 95 percent of the people on food stamps have a job; the other 5 percent are compromised because of disabilities.

Peterson said this country was built on helping people up. “There’s no fraud and waste crippling us. The Obama administration was willing to increase the SNAP program by $7 billion to $8 billion; the House was increasing by $7 billion; the Senate was coming in with $4 billion more. We’ve missed an opportunity to do real reform.” ❖

Contest seeks agriculture photos Each year, Silos & Smokestacks National Heritage Area hosts the Capture the Heart of America Photo Contest to let photographers share their agricultural photos from across the nation.

Federally designated with preserving and sharing America’s agricultural story in a 37-county region of northeast Iowa, the contest allows Silos & Smokestacks to reach beyond the borders of the Heritage Area and help tell this nationally significant story on a broader scale.

The contest features five categories, with four of them open to photos taken nationally and one category solely dedicated to Silos & Smokestacks Partner Sites, including American Farmscapes, Life on the Farm, Silos & Smokestacks Partner Sites, Celebrations of Agriculture and America’s Agricultural Industry.

This year’s contest awards include: • Best of Show: $500 for overall winner • First Place: $100 (each category)

How about land sales? “Last fall there was a decided push in land sales because of the new taxes taking a bigger hunk of estate sales beginning in January,” Goelz said, suggesting that land auctions have tapered off, but certainly not land prices, at least not yet, because interest rates are still favorable.

Age isn’t a factor at most farm auctions. Goelz explained that there’s always a buyer.

He claims online auctions as part of a public auction are actually helping.

“It just brings more buyers to the auction even though bids are coming in via telephone or even Twitter hookups,” Goelz said.

Goelz was interviewed at this year’s Farmfest in Redwood County, Minn. ❖

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

Goelz said there always seems to be buyers for the “antique” category of farm equipment. He told of a sale at Kasota (near Mankato, Minn.) on Aug. 3 with equipment dating back 120 years ago.

“We had a single-row corn picker made in 1905. Only 100 were made at that time. They went out to hardware stores on a lottery basis. They had two big drive gears on the left side but this picker was short some wood pieces.

“It sold to a guy in Wisconsin for $3,750. He had his truck and was hauling it home that day but wanted the phone number of the contending bidder from Pennsylvania. He called that guy • Second Place: $50 (each category) and found out the Pennsylvania guy had the ‘missing parts’ for this corn • Third Place: $25 (each category) picker so he got another guy to ride Photo contest entries are due by Oct. with him; they drove to Pennsylvania, 9, with winners announced no later made a deal on the missing parts and than Nov. 22.

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Not exactly a rookie in the business, 68-year-old veteran auctioneer John Goelz of Hector, Minn., said the tremendous growth of online auction sales isn’t the end of the world for standard auctions, but things have certainly changed.

of whom were Republicans swept into office by the Tea Party movement.

He said those Tea Party members had a unified message when talking about the farm bill and food stamps.

“They said ‘My boss (Cantor) was elected to come to Washington to cut with a meat cleaver, not a scalpel,’” Johnson said. “You have that right wing that is like the tail wagging the dog.”

While not being so specific about who’s to blame, Dale Moore, policy director of the American Farm Bureau, said this year’s debate is different than the many he’s been involved in. “This

truly is one of the strangest farm bill processes I’ve ever seen.”

Cantor recently confirmed he will now push for a $40-billion cut to the food-assistance portion of the agricultural bill, double the House’s previous push for a $20 billion cut and far steeper than the $4 billion cut included in the bill passed by the Senate.

Peterson said such a proposed cut makes him pessimistic a five-year farm bill can be passed this year.

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >> “Where Farm and Family Meet”

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Curious about how you and your farming practices would score in a conservation farming test? Even more curious if you were doing the testing yourself?

And would you be even more interested if you simply go online to do the test?

Terrific, because now you can do just that. Called the Green Star Farms Initiative, if you log on to www.greenstarfarms.org you read what it’s all about, then proceed to give yourself the test. Plus, if your score needs some improvement you can access a certified professional.

Jeremy Geske, a watershed education specialist with the Minnesota Agricultural Water Resource Center, said, “Green Star Farms is a farmer-directed, educational tool consisting of an online survey that helps farmers quantify the good work they are doing in soil and water conservation and protecting our environment.”

It works like this: • Once online, find the 32-question survey regarding conservation practices for Minnesota farmers.

• Do the survey and give yourself an assessment, a rating on how you are doing on these practices.

• Compare your farm to the average farm in your watershed, county and state.

• Surveys are educational in nature — no action is required.

• No regulatory agency will visit your farm as a result of participating in your survey.

• You cannot “fail” your assessment.

• Third-party verification from a MAWRC-certified professional is available (this option is encouraged but not required).

“This simple, self-assessment survey takes only a few minutes. Results can help guide farmers to additional information and resources to help address any concerns that may be identified,” Geske said. He noted that participating farmers may choose to involve their crop consultant (or other adviser) for assistance.

“When you’re all done with your survey and you have scored yourself, the results will suggest any possible deficiency in your conservation programs and how to remedy that particular concern. It’s totally a self-help test and individual farm information will never be shared.”

He also pointed out that through this Green Star Farms Initiative, the aggregated environmental assessment data of participating farmers will positively identify the good conservation practices being used by farmers and ranchers across Minnesota.

The Green Star Program was officially launched at Farmfest. Geske can be reached at (612) 756-1200 or Jeremy@mawrc.org. ❖

almost five miles from his parents’ farm. And they never said he wouldn’t serve in the armed forces, so Apps was a proud ROTC member who almost went to Korea.

Let me say this, straight up: you’ll never whine about being sick again, once you’ve read “Limping Through Life.”

At the outset, Apps’ story is one that “old-timers” can appreciate, especially if they farmed back before electricity and TV came to rural America. They’ll appreciate a trip down Memory Lane to times past — but for Boomer readers, that lack of amenities isn’t the jawdropper here.

What’s astounding is that Apps’ parents and other elders instinctively seemed to know how to help him regain his mobility, despite a grim prognosis.

Apps seems nonplused about that incredible resourcefulness, as if it was just another thing on the farm — a practical attitude that, mixed with humility, is a sure winner.

I daresay that this isn’t a book for younger readers, but Boomers, polio survivors and long-time farmers will truly enjoy it. If that’s you, then read “Limping Through Life.” You’ll be glad you did it.

Look for the reviewed book at a bookstore or a library near you. You may also find the book at online book retailers.

Slow cookers aren’t just for heavy winter-time meals Cookbook Corner

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent While I use my slow cooker a lot during the cooler months, it tends to get shoved to the dusty end of the pantry once summer rolls around. I guess I associate it with heavy “winter” foods like big roasts, stews, stuffing and that sort of thing. I’ve been using it more and more in the summer, however, once I figured out it doesn’t heat up my kitchen so dang much as my oven.

Slow cookers save both energy and time, so I’m converting many recipes for things I once thought I had to put in the oven.

A book that’s been helpful in this process is “Year-Round Slow Cooker: 100 Favorite Recipes for Every Season” by Dina Cheney (The Taunton Press, 2013), which has helped me reimagine how to prepare the lighter, fresher fare of summer. All the recipes are pretty simple, with an emphasis on fresh, easily available ingredients and a distinctive lack of prepackaged ones.

■ Braised Pork Shoulder is a perfect example of Cheney’s philosophy: Keep it simple, keep it fresh.

Once you get the ingredients in the cooker, your work is done ... so relax!

Braised Pork Shoulder Soft Tacos with WatermelonTomato Salsa Serves 4 to 6 One 3-pound boneless pork shoulder roast, tied

10 grinds black pepper Salsa 4 cups (packed) diced watermelon 1 pint baby or cherry tomatoes, preferably yellow, halved 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves 1 teaspoon minced jalapeno pepper 1 cup sour cream 1 tablespoon freshly grated lime zest (about 2 limes) 4 to 6 large soft corn or flour tortillas Place the pork, orange juice, 1/2 cup lime juice, olive oil, coarsely chopped onions, oregano, garlic, paprika and cumin in a gallon-size, zip-top plastic bag and marinate in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When ready to cook, add the meat and all the marinade to the slow cooker. Sprinkle the pork and marinade all over with 1 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper. Cover and cook on low until tender, 6 to 8 hours.

Carefully transfer the meat to a cutting board and, when cool enough to handle, remove and discard the netting or twine. Dice into roughly 1/2-inch cubes, then place back in the sauce.

In a large bowl, mix together the remaining chopped onions, remaining 1/4 cup lime juice, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, the watermelon, tomatoes, cilantro and jalapeno. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream and lime zest. Wrap the tortillas in a clean dish towel, and microwave on high until warm, 30 to 60 seconds. To serve, use a slotted spoon to drain the meat and spoon into a tortilla.

Add a dollop of salsa and sour cream.

Carnivores prefer meat, but Veggie Chili still gets ‘yums’ hours, but you could stretch that out if you needed to. Four out of four “yums” from the Johnsons.

Spicy Veggie Chili with Summer Squash and Jalapenos Serves 4-6 1/4 cup vegetable oil, divided 1 1/2 cups red bell peppers, diced (about 1) 1 1/2 cups green bell peppers, diced (about 1) 1/2 cup scallions, white, light green and some dark green parts, thinly sliced (about 4) 2 tablespoons minced garlic 2 teaspoons minced jalapeno (1 small) 2 teaspoons coarse salt, divided 5 grinds black pepper 1 teaspoon chili powder 4 cups yellow summer squash, diced One 15-ounce can pinto beans, rinsed and drained One 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained 1/4 cup tomato paste 2 tablespoons minced chiles or liquid from a can of chipotle chiles en adobo 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour One 28-ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, with juice 1 cup low-sodium vegetable stock 3 tablespoons fresh-squeezed, strained lime juice 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves Optional: tortilla chips, diced avocado, sour cream Heat half the oil in a 10-inch, heavy

sauté pan over medium-high heat.

When warm, add the bell peppers, scallions, garlic, jalapeno, half of the salt, the black pepper and chili powder, and sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 6 minutes. Add the squash and sauté until slightly softened, another 3 minutes. Transfer to the slow cooker, add the beans, and mix well.

Reduce the heat to medium under the sauté pan and add the remaining oil, plus the tomato paste, chile or chipotle liquid and flour. Cook until the mixture is thickened and the flour disappears, about 1 minute. Increase the heat to high and add the tomatoes with their juices, the stock, lime juice and remaining salt. Boil, stirring well, for 2 minutes, and pour into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low to meld the flavors, 3 to 4 hours. Stir in the cilantro, and serve with the tortilla chips, avocado and sour cream, if desired.

3 cups unpeeled yellow summer squash, cut into 1/4-inch dice Garnishes: finely chopped fresh parsley, thinly sliced scallions, Tabasco green pepper hot sauce Heat the oil in a 10-inch, heavy sauté pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chorizo and chicken, and cook, breaking up the sausage and turning the chicken over halfway through, until all sides are golden brown, about 12 minutes.

Transfer to the slow cooker. Add the onions, celery, bell peppers, garlic and jalapeno to the hot pan (do not drain out any fat), and sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the flour and tomato paste and cook until the flour seems to disappear, about a minute.

Remove the pan from the heat and add the beer or wine. Return it to the heat, raise the heat to high, and cook, whisking, for 2 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes, stock, salt, thyme, paprika, oregano and black pepper, and cook at a strong simmer for about 8 minutes.

Use a ladle to pour the sauce over the meat in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low until the meat is cooked through, about 3 1/2 hours.

Stir in the shrimp, rice, zucchini and summer squash; cover, raise the heat to high, and cook until all ingredients are tender and cooked through, about 1 hour. Spoon into shallow bowls, garnish with parsley and scallions, and serve with hot sauce.

■ Our garden is providing an overabundance of random vegetables at the moment, so I made the Veggie Chili with substitutions here and there using what I had on hand. (It was not nearly hot enough for the men in my life, but hey, they can use the homemade hot sauce I made last month.)

Everybody enjoyed it, but the carnivores made it clear that they prefer chili with meat. It was ready in 4

COOKBOOK, from pg. 16A I enjoyed some spicy jambalaya recently in a place not normally associated with the Louisiana bayous: Madison, Wis. For some oddball reason there’s an excellent corner dive where a couple of tattooed ex-pat New Orleans cooks offer authentic Louisiana takeout. This recipe might come close.

Yes, using fresh ingredients takes more prep work, but the payback comes when you don’t have to babysit the meal as it cooks. And it tastes ever so much better.

Jambalaya with Green Peppers and Summer Squash Serves 8 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 pound fresh (raw) chorizo sausage (about 5 links), casings removed 1 1/2 pounds bone-in, skinless chicken thighs (about 3) 2 1/2 cups finely chopped white or yellow onions (about 1 very large) 1 1/2 cups finely chopped celery (about 4 stalks) 1 1/2 cups finely chopped green bell peppers, seeds and membranes removed (about 1 large) 3 tablespoons minced garlic 2 tablespoons minced jalapeno 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup tomato paste 1 cup mild beer, such as Corona, or white wine One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes, with juice 1 cup low-sodium chicken stock, fish stock or clam juice 1 tablespoon coarse salt 2 teaspoons dried thyme 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon dried oregano 20 grinds black pepper 1 pound extra-large raw shrimp, shelled, deveined, and tails left on 2 cups instant long-grain white rice, such as Minute Rice 2 1/2 cups unpeeled zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch dice

Preventive steps best action against pets’ arthritis “Arthritis can attack bones and joints in animals the same way the disease does in humans,” according to Zachary Goodrich, a veterinary resident instructor at Texas A&M University. “However some animals, especially dogs, can be affected by arthritis at a much younger age than humans generally are.

Some pets will be affected by arthritis before they are even 1-year-old.”

Although there is no certain way to prevent arthritis in pets, owners can help stave off arthritis by making sure their dog has a good, healthy diet and gets plenty of exercise.

“Dogs that are overweight tend to be more affected by arthritis,” said A&M vet med lecturer Stacy Eckman.

“Consistent low-impact exercise such as walking and swimming helps maintain good muscle mass as well as keeping your pet at an ideal body weight,” Goodrich said. “The more extra weight your pet carries around, the higher the stress being placed across its joints which may worsen the arthritis or affect your pet’s quality of life.”

There are several signs for pet-owners to look for if they suspect their animal is suffering from arthritis.

“The most obvious sign is decreased activity level,” Goodrich said. “The animal may not want to go as far as it used to on a walk or may not want to walk at all. Other signs can include

stiffness when rising, especially after sleeping, and varying degrees of lameness.” It is also important to have your animal examined.

A veterinarian can take Xrays of the affected joints to diagnose arthritis. However, Xray images can’t determine the disease’s severity.

“Their signs on X-rays don’t necessarily coordinate with their physical findings,” Eckman said. In other words, a lack of change in the X-rays doesn’t mean your pet’s arthritis isn’t getting worse.

Although there is no cure for arthritis, there are a number of treatments available to help your arthritic pet feel better. These treatments vary depending on the severity of the case.

Early detection — before the disease has progressed too far — is important to help maintain your pet’s ability to walk, run and play.

“There are several surgical and medical treatment options available depending on which joint is affected,” Goodrich said. “Joint replacements are performed on a case-by-case basis.

Arthroscopy is also routinely used to evaluate and treat the joint in a minimally invasive manner.”

A veterinarian may give your dog steroid injections to help relieve inflammation. Drugs, such as polysulfated glycosaminoglycan injections, help protect cartilage with minimal side effects.

From the Fields: Summer, don’t leave us so soon ing beans, and some that are barely flowering. There have been some outbreaks of aphids so he will likely begin spraying in the next 10 days. “It looks like we’ll have a couple fields that will be treated.”

While rain had been absent at the Messner farm for more than three weeks, her reported that it finally rained three-fourths of an inch on Aug. 5. “It was a welcome rain.” Messner pointed out that at this time of year you “usually don’t chase rain away.”

The rain was welcome, but the cooler temperatures are not; he feels that the crops lost ground due to the recent low temps. While “things look relatively well,” Messner is “not expecting any miracles this year.”

By KRISTIN KVENO The Land Correspondent

The Brandts Ada, Minn.

The harvest season is about to begin for Danny Brandt, and he is more than ready to get the combine roaring in the Danny Brandt fields.

The Land spoke to Brandt on Aug. 7 as he was “putting the finishing touches on the combine.” That same evening he planned to take a sample of wheat; if all looked good he wanted that night to “take a load off or two.”

The weather continues to be dry and has cooled off. One benefit to these conditions is “the weather isn’t conducive for aphids,” Brandt said. A “nice drizzle” fell on the Ada area on Aug. 6 which allowed the beans to “really perk up after this shot of rain.”

Brandt feels that the crop could use an inch or two of rain. Through July, he reported only three-tenths of an inch of rain. Optimistically rain was forecasted for the next couple of days.

The corn has tasseled but is not to the dough stage yet, said Brandt, who is surprised that some of the stalks are appearing with two ears each, especially with the lack of moisture.

The corn is “a little behind from last year but not too far behind.”

Brandt feels that the cooler weather that continues to be forecasted has some benefit for the crops; while it may take longer for beans and corn to fill out, they shouldn’t be heatstressed. Though the season for the first frost/freeze is quickly approaching, Brandt hopes the cold temperatures stay away for quite a while.

He would like to wrap up wheat harvest within the next two weeks and start working on the beet harvest equipment. The sugar beets are looking like a “pretty nice crop in the area.”

Overall, he said, it won’t be a record crop, “but a pretty nice one.”

The Laubenthals Swea City, Iowa The Johnsons Starbuck, Minn.

Scott Johnson is playing the waiting game to properly assess damage from an Aug. 6 hailstorm.

They “got quite a bit of hail ... some fields Scott Johnson got hit pretty good.”

The Land spoke to Johnson on Aug. 7 as he was dealing with the aftermath of the storm and was thankful for hail insurance. The hail cut a wide swath through the neighborhood. While the wind in the storm wasn’t terrible, the hail was unrelenting. The farm received “a half to one and half inches of rain,” he said. The moisture was needed — just not in the form of ice balls.

The corn “looks pretty decent,” Johnson said, although after the hail damage it’s a bit hard to access. The unevenness of the corn in the field is evident and the crop still appears to be between one to two weeks behind.

The beans have “low aphid counts,” he said, noting that the plants are short but are progressing better than the corn. He will “wait to see how much of the plant dies off. ... The hail

adjusters will be busy in the area.”

Looking ahead, Johnson is focusing on prices for next year as both corn and bean prices dropped. With dropping input prices Johnson is deciding when fertilizer application would be most cost-effective.

There are a lot of items on Johnson’s plate but first and foremost is identifying how much damage the hail did to the crop and what the next step should be. Never a dull moment on a farm — the weather makes sure of that.

The Messners Northfield, Minn.

“Progressing.” That simple word sums up Chris Messner’s crops this year. It may not be as positive as he would like, but the crops are indeed Chris Messner growing — just at their own pace.

When The Land spoke to Messner on Aug. 6 he was optimistic about the corn and bean crops in his fields. “All our corn is pollinated,” he said. “I hope that the corn will become something pretty decent.”

Messner is feeling “encouraged by the beans.” He’s seen some nice-look-

The conditions around the Charlie Laubenthal farm are “dry” but “we’re managing.” In the past two weeks the farm Charlie Laubenthal has gotten rain once: six-tenths of an inch. The Land spoke to Laubenthal on Aug. 7 and he said that the temperature hasn’t topped 80 degrees Fahrenheit in two weeks. “It should be warmer.”

Cooler temperatures aren’t corn’s best friend but the crop “is mostly in full tassel,” Laubenthal said. “It looks as good as it’s ever going to.” The crop looks good from the road, he said, just don’t get too close — it’s apparent that it’s not a bumper crop.

The beans are “short” and blooming now. “They look pretty nice for the most part,” Laubenthal said, but “I don’t think we’ll need any extra bin space this year.” There has been some mention of aphids in the area, “but nothing serious.”

He said that he’s “enjoying the end of summer” and was proud to watch daughter Alexis get first runner-up in the Kossuth County Fair pageant.

He was also looking forward to getting pigs in the new hog building by Aug. 15. With fall not far away, Laubenthal is starting to get fall field equipment ready.

While he may be getting things in line for harvest, he doesn’t want or need fall-like temperatures as he hopes there’s an “extended length of time before we get frost.”

Summer don’t leave us so soon; the farmers are counting on you. ❖

Grain Angles Don’t lose track of the markets

The following market analysis is for the week ending Aug. 9.

CORN — The first objective yield survey and resulting balance sheets will be released Aug. 12.

This week’s losses may just be a preview of what’s to come if the report is bearish.

December corn drifted lower again this week, losing another 10 1/2 cents per bushel to close at $4.53 1/2 per bushel with the September contract down 10 1/4 cents at $4.65 3/4 per bushel.

The December contract ended the week on a weak note when it hit its lowest level since October 2010 at $4.52 per bushel.

NYSTROM It’s interesting that although PHYLLIS CHS Hedging Inc. managed money and other St. Paul reportables added to their net short position as of Aug. 7, December corn was able to hold above psychological support of $4.50 per bushel. Another week of nonthreatening weather, although there are localized areas that would take additional moisture, did nothing to inspire buyers to return to the market. Corn conditions regained the 1 percent they declined last week, improving 1 percent as of Aug. 4 to 64 percent good/excellent, with improvement seen in Illinois, Nebraska and Ohio and declines in Iowa and Minnesota.

The Environmental Protection Agency announced the 2013 quotas this week, leaving them unchanged at 16.55 billion gallons for biofuels. The EPA also extended to June 30, 2014, the deadline for blenders to turn in 2013 Renewable Identification Numbers.

The livestock markets have experienced a little excitement in recent weeks. The results so far have been that both the cattle and hogs have benefited in higher prices of both cash and futures.

The cattle market seem to benefit with the advent of Tyson Foods Inc. deciding not to accept any more cattle treated with Zilmax, a feed ingredient that promotes growth the company said caused cattle to be wobbly and even unable to stand. The response was a quick limit move in the October futures which eventually sold off. But many in the trade feel that because of this ban by Tyson, cattle weights will JOE TEALE drop thus cutting the overall tonBroker nage of beef. Subsequently cattle Great Plains Commodity did trade higher in the live marAfton, Minn. ket following this announcement, as much as $3 per hundredweight live and $2 higher in the beef.

Several things come to mind that may not cause an extended move higher in cattle prices. No other beef packer has decided to follow Tyson’s lead and other feed ingredients are available to promote growth that have not been banned. The fact that boxed beef movement has remained sluggish still causes concern about overall beef demand.

Seasonal tendencies are believed to be turning higher at this time by many in the trade. However, according to the recent cattle on feed reports released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the number of cattle in the next 60 days will be greater in numbers than previously anticipated due to the heavier weight cattle placed in recent months. Therefore, pro-

This week in southeast Minnesota I accompanied several grain producers while their crops were adjusted for hail damage. Moving from field to field, it was apparent that the producers I was with had other things on their minds besides the slightly damaged crop.

As we traveled down the road they agreed that this year, not only do they have all of the typical activities that occur during this time of year but they are also up to their necks trying to get numerous new projects under control due to the adverse weather this spring.

It was summarized well by one MARTY KRIENER producer: “It seems as if this AgStar Senior Financial Services Executive spring has never ended; we keep Rochester, Minn. jumping from project to project.

We all know that this isn’t a typical year and we are all feeling the immense pressure of getting everything done. That being said, it’s easy to lose track of what’s happening with the market. We all lose focus when we are physically running in a hundred different directions. With the downward market correction we’ve experienced recently, we need to make sure we continue pushing the pencil on these margins.

Gasoline consumption in the United States for 2013 is forecast at 133.2 billion gallons and only 132.9 billion gallons for 2014.

Tyson announced this week that effective Sept. 6 they will no longer accept cattle that have been fed certain additives, including Zilmax. The decision was based on animal welfare issues and not food safety issues. Zilmax is reportedly used by 50 percent of U.S. cattle producers. This may result in higher corn demand for feed.

Weekly ethanol production was up 21,000 barrels per day to 853,000 barrels/day, the first increase in four

weeks. Ethanol stocks were up 0.3 million to 16.7 million barrels.

Weekly export sales were mixed with a decent number for old crop, but down sharply in the new crop from previous weeks. Old crop sales were 11.4 million bushels and we only need 2 million per week in the last four weeks of the marketing year to reach the 700-millionbushel USDA forecast. New crop sales were only 8.7 million bushels. However, total commitments for 2013-14 at 366 million bushels are the biggest on the books for new crop for this time of year since 1996-97. China approved the off-load of 60,000 metric tons of Argentinean genetically modified corn this week as they continue to seek diversification of import origins.

Here are a few examples that you might be able to relate to.

• 2012 old crop corn — Even with the recent decline in old crop prices we still have favorable old crop margins. At a cash price of $5.85, 185bushel crop, non-land costs of $568 acre, land and owner draw at $290, you will achieve $224 per acre margin.

• 2012 old crop soybeans — At a cash price of $13.53, 50-bushel crop, non-land costs of $313 acre, land and owner draw at $280, you will achieve an $84 margin per acre.

• 2013 new crop corn — At a cash price of $4.30, 185-bushel crop, nonland costs of $562 acre, land and owner draw at $330, you will achieve a negative $97 margin per acre.

• 2013 new crop soybeans — At a cash price of $11.90, 50-bushel crop, non-land costs of $320 acre, land and owner draw at $320, you will achieve a negative $68 margin per acre.

• 2014 corn and soybeans — for future crop, make sure you pull all of your numbers together and watch the markets closely.

Know your financial position Every producer is in a different financial situation but we all need to understand what that position is.

Evaluate your situation and be aware of what type of operation you are. Here are a few questions you can use to evaluate your operation.

• Are you a high, average or low-cost operation?

• How does your lender view your operation based on your specific financial position? ° Your current financial position and marketing plan will be an important factor this winter and will impact how far out your lender will potentially carry this new crop. This is especially critical if you are a higher cost operation.

Make sure you have a solid marketing plan When marketing your grain on your own or with a trusted adviser, be sure to use all of the tools (options, futures, contracts) available to capitalize on this market if the opportunity presents itself. A good commodity broker or margin manager will help you stay flexible with your decisions and keep you aware of all the risk management alternatives available so that you can be proactive with your marketing approach. If you follow your marketing plan and review your situation on a weekly basis, good things will happen.

OUTLOOK: Basis levels strengthened during the week with no farmer selling and end-users needing to source corn from tight old crop supplies.

This is expected to continue until harvest moves north. The Aug. 12 crop report will set the tone as we head toward harvest, unless a frost threat occurs. In recent years, the trade tends to underestimate corn production and overestimate demand on this report.

The average production estimate for Aug. 12 is 13.98 billion bushels, up from July’s 13.95 billion prediction, using a 157.7-bushels-per-acre yield.

Ending stocks are projected at 725 million for 2012-13 and 1.971 billion bushels for 2013-14. Prior to the release of the August balance sheets, short-term support in the December contract comes in at $4.50, then $4.38 per bushel.

SOYBEANS — November soybeans trended lower in the first half of the week with soybean conditions up 1 percent to 64 percent good/excellent as of Aug. 4, only to stage a comeback in the latter half to close the week with a gain of 3/4 cents. Iowa and Minnesota saw declines of 1 percent each in the good/excellent category. The November contract traded as low as $11.62 1/2 per bushel before rebounding to close the week at $11.82 1/4 per bushel.

Weekly export sales were strong for the 2013-14 slot at 37.4 million bushels; old crop sales were 2.9 million when we need 3.4 million per week to hit the USDA forecast of 1.33 billion bushels. The USDA announced new sales of 330,000 mt of new crop beans to China this week in spite of their auctioning of reserve soybeans. Of the 500,000 mt beans that were offered at auction, only 90,000 mt or 18 percent, were sold. China has bought 11.7 million mt of new crop U.S. beans versus

10.1 mmt tons for new crop last year at this time.

Managed money and large reportables net position slipped to a net short of 1,000 contracts as of Aug. 6, according to the latest commitment of traders report. Currently, there isn’t any sign that this trend won’t continue. Basis levels are making a comeback after country origination dried up on the price break. If the board can’t do the work to encourage bushels into the pipeline, basis may have to carry the burden.

OUTLOOK: August weather will be the determinate for what the soybean yield will eventually be, and thus far it has been good. If an early frost can be avoided and the crop updates don’t hold any huge surprise, lower prices may be expected. Estimates for the Aug. 12 report include: yield, 43.472 bu./acre; production, 3.338 billion bushels; 2012-13 carryout of 122 million bushels; 2013-14 carryout of 263 million bushels.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending Aug. 9: December Minneapolis wheat fell 10 1/4 cents, Chicago tumbled 25 3/4 cents lower and Kansas City dropped 15 1/4 cents.

September crude oil was 97 cents lower at $105.97, ultra-low-sulfur diesel heating oil was 7 3/4 cents lower, Reformulated Blendstock for Oxygenate Blending was 8 3/4 cents lower, and natural gas was down 11 3/4 cents.

ing a still firm demand for pork products.

The question now becomes, with pork cutouts back well over $100 per hundredweight, will demand begin to suffer from the higher prices the consumer will be facing in the months ahead? Higher meat prices and higher taxes don’t usually mix well for greater demand for meat products. The next several weeks could set the tone for the hog market through the remainder of the year. Producers should stay on top of current market conditions and be prepared to protect inventories. ❖

The hog market has been a lot like the Energizer Bunny. It just keeps going and going.

Based on the discussion at Farmfest, it appears highly likely that there could again be an extension of the current farm bill for another year or longer.

• Renewable energy policy was another Farmfest forum topic that garnered considerable discussion, which included interactions on ethanol, biodiesel, wind, solar, biomass, etc.

Sen. Al Franken and Doug O’Brien, U.S. Department of Agriculture under secretary, both stressed the importance of a strong commitment to renewable energy policy and development in the United States.

Dave Frederickson and Mike Rothman, Minnesota commissioners of agriculture and commerce, pointed out the impact that renewable energy has had on Minnesota’s economy, as well as the positive aspects on the environment, and lowering the U.S. dependence on foreign energy.

However, several panel members also pointed out that it will be difficult to advance the development of renewable energy nationally, or in Minnesota, without the help of supportive federal and state policies relative to renewable energy.

• A panel of media representatives who are not

directly associated with agriculture discussed how the agriculture industry is viewed by the media and gen-

eral public.

They indicated that overall perception of agriculture and of farmers is still quite positive; however, some members admitted that more questions continue to be raised, especially with large farm operations. It was pointed out that many large farm operations are composed of one or more farm families that have joined forces to make better utilization of their resources.

The panel stressed the importance that farmers “tell their story,” whether it be through the traditional media, the internet or in conversations with their non-farm friends and relatives. This will become more important in the future, as fewer consumers have any ties to a farm family.

• In recent years, sow gestation crates, chicken cages, use of antibiotics and many more items related to livestock husbandry have become frontpage news stories, as well as topics for potential legislation. A panel of livestock industry experts discussed these issues and more during a Farmfest forum.

Most agreed that a producer is in the best position to determine what is best for the health or welfare of farm livestock, and pointed out that producers need to be in the forefront of developing new guidelines or policies.

In recent years, many well-funded activist groups have used the social media and other communication forms to target how farmers and ranchers produce their livestock. These groups have pressured retail food outlets to also get involved, in order to dictate how livestock is raised for the production of meat, milk and eggs.

Just as with the previous forum, this panel encouraged producers to be proactive in sharing the “how and why” relative to their husbandry practices in raising livestock. The panel also highlighted the economic importance of the livestock industry to Minnesota’s economy.

• During another feature forum at Farmfest, “Future Opportunities in the Agriculture Industry,” Dave Frederickson, highlighted the significance of the agriculture industry to Minnesota, and the need to have strong agricultural education programs.

A forum panel, representing a wide range of young ag leaders in various segments of the agriculture industry in Minnesota, shared many facts and figures relative to the jobs that are currently available, as well as what the needs will be in the future.

They also highlighted some areas of agriculture that are currently without adequate numbers to meet employment needs. The panel pointed out that there are opportunities for persons currently in the workforce to get re-trained in agricultural subject matter in order to pursue career opportunities.

• Farmfest concluded by recognizing 76 county “Farm Families of the Year.” It is always interesting to hear the wide-ranging and interesting backgrounds of these farm families and their farming businesses, to see the multi-generational aspect of these family farms and to realize the tremendous amount of agricultural and community leadership that exists throughout the state.

The backgrounds and accomplishments of these farm families demonstrate the diversity and dynamics of Minnesota’s agriculture industry.

Minnesota Milk commissions report on environmental regulations the MPCA on their rule revisions, Minnesota Milk will also look at working with the MPCA to implement some of the action items that stemmed from this report, including implementation of a training program specifically for agency staff members with whom dairy farmers interact, expanding basic and dairy-specific agricultural educational outreach to legislators and other rule makers, and create an emergency response tool kit for dairy farmers.

The report was facilitated and developed by the Minnesota Agricultural Water Resource Center. The entire report, “Environmental Regulations: A Review of Milk Producer Experiences and Perspectives in Minnesota” can be viewed at www.mnmilk.org.

Environmental Regulations: A Review of Milk Producer Experiences & Perspectives in Minnesota, prepared by Warren Formo, Minnesota Agricultural Water Resource Center, July 2013 Executive summary Ongoing environmental concerns, particularly related to water quality, present numerous challenges for Minnesota dairy producers ranging from increasing regulation and reporting requirements to negative media attention. Regulatory developments in the past have resulted in varying levels of permit requirements and manure management changes. Current agency activities, such as the development of the Agricultural Water Quality Certification Program and new nutrient standards for surface waters, create an

atmosphere of uncertainty for Minnesota dairy producers.

The Minnesota Milk Producers Association commissioned this report in order to develop a greater understanding of the experiences and perspectives dairy farmers have toward environmental regulations in Minnesota.

Farmer input was gathered through a series of focus groups held in three diverse regions across the state, coupled with telephone interviews conducted to ensure broad geographic coverage. Additional interviews gathered input from consultants, who have become an integral part of regulatory interaction on many farms. This report provides a snapshot at this point in time of the regulations shaping MinSee REPORT, pg. 34A

The Minnesota Milk Producers Association commissioned a report on Environmental Regulations to gain a better understanding of the experiences and perspectives dairy farmers have toward environmental regulations in Minnesota.

Findings from this report will be utilized by Minnesota Milk as they prepare comments on Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s newly released amendments to state rules regulating animal feedlots. (Editor’s note: The full report is printed below.)

“This report confirms that there’s inconsistency from regulators leading to an environment of uncertainty amongst dairy farmers,” said Pat Lunemann, president of Minnesota Milk and dairy farmer from Clarissa, Minn. “MPCA has an opportunity to make the implementation and facilitation of the new rules logical and consistent by working with dairy farmers to understand our operations and how we are good stewards of the land.”

REPORT, from pg. 33A nesota dairy farms today and influencing their plans for the future.

It is important and noteworthy that literally every dairy producer providing feedback expressed discontent with the current regulatory environment. Every participant offered at least one comment about regulatory overreach, inconsistent application of rules or inadequately trained agency staff.

It is equally important to note that most participants expressed a strong environmental ethic, a desire to do the right things in order to preserve their farm business for future generations and to maintain goodwill in their communities.

The action items that emerged from these comments can be summarized as follows.

• Implement a training program specifically for agency staff members with whom dairy farmers interact.

• Expand basic and dairy-specific agricultural educational outreach to legislators and other rule makers.

• Expand educational outreach to dairy farmers to raise awareness of environmental issues.

• Expand efforts to help dairy farmers engage in stewardship messaging.

• Create an emergency response tool kit for dairy farmers.

It is certainly true that MMPA directors are themselves very much aware of the issues discussed here, both from their own experience and from their interactions with other farmers. MMPA staff members also have perspectives on environmental concerns based on their interactions with dairy farmers. Thus it is likely that most of the information gleaned from these conversations will reaffirm what was previously known, providing support for MMPA policy positions and programs that are already in place. But the candid input from this diverse group should also stimulate ideas for new steps the MMPA might consider as it continues to serve the men and women who comprise Minnesota’s dairy industry.

Overview Minnesota feedlot rules date back to 1971, when rules requiring livestock producers to control runoff from feedlots and to properly use manure as a fertilizer were first enacted. Since then, feedlot rules have gone through many revisions resulting in a labyrinth of permitting, recordkeeping and regulatory requirements. Many of the most onerous rules were put into place during an era State Sen. Steve Dille dubbed “the feedlot wars” that began in the late-1990s and ended in 2006. Many livestock producers would suggest that the feedlot wars are still on and that the battlefield has simply shifted.

Depending on size and location of their farm operation, Minnesota dairy producers may interact with a county feedlot officer or directly with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Those who expand or modSee REPORT, pg. 35A

Report: Trend for more rules disconcerting to dairy producers viewed as excessively burdensome to the extent that they align with good economic and stewardship principles.

Other rules and requirements, particularly those involving expensive information-gathering for environmental review, often add cost without real benefit, either to the environment or to the producer. These added costs are especially difficult for smaller operations to absorb and have the unintended consequence of shaping the dairy industry in exactly the opposite manner from that sought by activists opposed to larger dairies. Several participants in this study cited examples of small dairies that planned modest expansion in order to remain economically viable, often when bringing the next generation into the operation. Their plans were stopped by the costs associated with environmental review. In some cases, expansion plans were scrapped and eventually the dairy exited the industry. In other cases, expansion plans were increased in order to

spread costs over a larger number of cows.

Overall, the trend for more rules to be adopted and for rules to be applied to more producers as herd size thresholds are reduced is disconcerting to dairy producers. Many wonder, “at what point will regulations put me at a competitive disadvantage to producers in neighboring states (if they haven’t already)” and “where will it (the development of new rules) end?”

Methods The Minnesota Agricultural Water Resource Center provided facilitation for the focus groups and interviews conducted for this report. The MAWRC brings a different experience and perspective to this project, best characterized as being generally aware of the feedlot regulations affecting dairy farmers without having been directly involved in what one participant described as “the fray.”

MMPA staff provided a list of dairy

farmers representing a wide spectrum of herd size and geographic distribution, but all of whom were of a size that would have likely necessitated some level of interaction with a regulatory or permitting agency.

MMPA staff also made initial contacts to invite producers into the process.

Interviews were conducted either individually or in small groups. Interviews and focus groups began with a brief overview of the process. Participants were assured that all responses would be summarized without attribution to a particular individual, affording them at least some ability to speak candidly. Participants were asked to provide input based on their experience to address the following key questions.

Most are required to implement varying degrees of manure management planning, recordkeeping and reporting.

Beyond basic feedlot and manure storage practices, rules now require such add-ons as clean water diversions, vegetative filter strip and silage leachate controls. In short, few dairy producers operate completely untouched by environmental regulations. Couple this with health and safety requirements and one might begin to wonder how dairy farmers find time to get chores done.

The Leader In Feeders!

Famous for minimum feed waste!

responses People matter Most concerns involved lack of experience, agricultural knowledge and continuity of county feedlot officers, MPCA staff and Natural Resource Conservation Service staff.

“We have a revolving door in our county feedlot officer. It seems like we are constantly training someone. And if there is a change while you are in the permit process, it is basically like starting over.”

Several participants, even those expressing concerns about agency staff and CFOs, also stated that they have worked with some agency staff and CFOs who were very helpful. And not all frustration with the process was directed at CFOs and agency staff, as three participants noted that preparation and understanding of the process on the part of the farmer can also contribute to complications.

“The permit process is something most farmers only do once or twice in their life, so it’s hard to get good at it.”

Participant responses often referred to trust issues.

“MPCA doesn’t seem to trust agronomists and vice versa.”

“Keep a log and document all conversations you have with officials.”

Agency reporting requirements Most respondents voiced frustration with MPCA and NRCS manure management plan reporting requirements, noting that a single report suitable for both agencies would be preferred. Two participants wondered whether anyone actually looks at the paperwork they submit, and one respondent’s qualified response suggested that the solution should not be to give additional, unrequired information to either agency.

“I can understand that each agency is trying to carry out different rules, so they need different information, and I don’t want to provide more information than they need, but couldn’t they at least get together and develop a simpler report form?”

Inconsistency of rules and their enforcement Some participants expressed concerns with the rules themselves.

“Ag scientists and agronomists need to be involved in the rule making. Too much of it doesn’t make sense.”

Other participants expressed concerns with inconsistent application or

implementation of rules.

“The regulations make some sense, but they aren’t applied uniformly.”

Dairy farmers are strongly interested in achieving long-term sustainability through a combination of efficient production and resource protection. The exact combination of the two as viewed on each farm is influenced by many factors including how they address regulations. While all participants expressed a strong stewardship value, many also expressed frustration.

The perceived increased scrutiny many farmers feel is directed toward them produces a heightened sensitivity regarding environmental rules and a where-will-this-end fear. While all dairy farmers are regulated and attempt to do the best they can, the rules require more of larger operators (over 1,000 animal units) than they do of smaller operators. But even smaller operators express concern that at some point they may be required to document and report on practices more like larger operators are required to do currently.

The variable rules and their application presents two challenges for the MMPA. First, there is an opportunity to provide producers with the best current available science to help guide them to make appropriate management decisions, recognizing that stewardship is not size-dependent even though it looks different on each farm.

Second, the MMPA should continue to work with rule-making agencies to minimize the extent to which rules drive management, thereby maximizing flexibility in meeting environmental goals on their farms. Producers agree that education and knowledge are more effective than rules and regulations at improving farm management.

Inadequately funded assistance programs Several participants cited the lack of available Environmental Quality Incentives Program funding, particularly for manure storage projects.

“It would sure be nice if there was more EQIP funding available for manure storage. Some people suggest that we should foot the whole cost ourselves, but the reality is that we wouldn’t need that much storage if not for their rules.

Report: Education key — ‘Not everyone knows all of the rules’ mals under their management, there is also a widely held belief that collectively, “we” (dairy farmers in general) can do better, and that the solution is in education and helping farmers understand the connection between their practices and the environment — not in another government agency program.

This educational challenge provides an opportunity for the MMPA and the MAWRC to collaborate. The MAWRC

is currently developing an environmental education program as a webbased tool to make farmers aware of environmental pressures, evaluate and acknowledge the things they are already doing to address these pressures, and to challenge them to learn and do more. This program will be available by August.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Action recommendations Participants offered several specific recommendations, most of which the MMPA is already doing to some degree.

• Implement a training program specifically for agency staff members that interact with dairy farmers.

“Someone needs to design a training program for agency staff.”

“Every new CFO should have some basic ag training as one of the first things they do.”

A training program could be developed in partnership with agencies.

Agencies should also be encouraged to hire staff with agricultural training. A participant also suggested that the MMPA consider a recognition program in which farmers nominate an agency staff member for providing good service as an effort to train through positive reinforcement.

• Expand basic and dairy-specific agricultural educational outreach to legislators and other rule makers.

“Those who make the rules should understand what they are doing. Do legislators know what they are approving? Maybe we need to get more of them (legislators) out on farms and show them what is happening.”

Outreach to legislators could provide partnership opportunities across all of agriculture on general issues and across the dairy sector on specific issues. Respondents recognize that the MMPA is already actively engaged in educating policy makers, but suggest that even more is required.

Some respondents were willing to be directly involved in these efforts, but some prefer to not speak out for fear of retribution from agency staff. These producers are especially supportive of the MMPA’s efforts on their behalf.

• Expand educational outreach to dairy farmers to raise awareness of environmental issues.

“Education for farmers — not everyone knows all the rules, not everyone knows all there is to know about every aspect of their farming operation — things are changing so fast.”

Outreach to farmers again provides partnership opportunities across all of agriculture on general issues and across the dairy sector on specific issues. Education should address both basic regulatory compliance issues and good production practices. While dairy farmers express a strong stewardship ethic and care for the land and ani-

REPORT, from pg. 36A Producers also voiced concern that not only do the government rules dictate how much storage is needed, NRCS engineering plans result in significantly higher costs.

“The NRCS cost-share for manure storage barely covers the over-engineering they require.”

Producers acknowledge that the MMPA has been a clear and consistent voice with the NRCS, calling for both adequate funding and practical engineering of projects.

Concerns with environmental review process Participants of all sizes noted that the environmental review process is especially difficult for smaller farms, citing numerous examples of dairy farms being forced out of business due to high costs to comply with the process or forced to expand their business to spread those costs over more cows.

“Regulations are killing the little farmers. The big ones have staff devoted to the paperwork or work with a consultant, the small ones are left to deal with the issues alone.”

The irony of this unintended consequence is that activists who sought more stringent environmental review rules were attempting to discourage what they defined as “large” dairies.

These same activists decry the conversion of alfalfa and pasture to corn and soybeans with no realization that this too is an unintended consequence of their actions. Their anti-dairy activism drove many dairy families out of business, which in turn reduced the need for alfalfa and pasture, which left these acres in search of an alternative use, which in many cases was indeed corn and soybeans. This is not an indication that row-crops cannot be grown in a sustainable way, but does hint at the growing recognition, especially in those regions of the state where dairy is still prevalent, that cows are good for the land.

Concerns for future regulations Participants described any expansion of regulations as unnecessary and potentially burdensome, to the point of forcing producers out of business. Air quality rules and water availability were cited most often by larger producers. Further limits on winter manure spreading were most often cited by small- to medium-sized producers.

Controls on run-off from feed storage areas were cited as possibly affecting producers of all sizes.

Report: Farmers, environmentalists, legislators are all in this together REPORT, from pg. 37A ers engage in stewardship messaging.

Most participants recognize that efforts to increase regulation are usually associated with fears or concerns brought by activists based more on emotion than fact. While participants are generally aware and appreciate current MMPA efforts to portray dairy farmers in a positive light, they also

recognize the need to do even more to respond to what they perceive as an unrelenting barrage of criticism. Several respondents voiced willingness to be part of outreach efforts, but need coordination and assistance from the MMPA in developing message points.

The MMPA should consider expanding its current stewardship messaging tool kit, either specific to dairy or in partnership with other agricultural

organizations, or some combination of both. Expansion and focus of current programs should provide media training, public speaking coaching and awareness of stewardship issues. The MMPA is perceived by many producers as a leading organization in these efforts currently, but those same producers believe that even more is needed.

• Create an emergency response tool kit for dairy farmers.

Several producers called for a targeted education program to help dairy farmers understand the regulatory process and be prepared for the worst. This tool kit should include an overview of the permit process, reporting requirements, public meeting planning, interacting with regulators and dealing with citizen complaints. This recommendation seems to stem from resignation that the MPCA process is not likely to change anytime soon and that all farmers should have at least a basic emergency response plan for responding to a notice of complaint.

Based on participant feedback, this action recommendation appears to represent the single-most significant new direction for the MMPA. The MDA and MPCA have publications available that summarize feedlot rules, which can be found at ... www.pca.state.mn.us/index.php/topics/feedlots/ feedlot-publications.html for MPCA, and www.mda.state.mn.us/animals/livestock.aspx www.mda.state.mn.us/animals/feedlots.aspx for MDA. These webpages should be added as Industry Links on the MMPA website and made available in other educational formats as well. This tool kit also provides an opportunity to work with other MAWRC groups on broader educational programs.

Postlude In the words of one study group participant ...

“What’s the solution? Exactly what we are doing here. But we need to expand the conversation. The conversation should include farmers, environmentalists, legislators — we’re all in this together.” ❖

Thereafter, the steel, turquoisegreen box was officially declared off limits. His message was clear: If his boys were going to be fishermen, they should be/would be responsible for buying their own tackle.

hippewa. Northsky. Polaris. St. Cloud. Northblue. Those are the variety names of some of the nearly dozen blueberry varieties released by the University of Minnesota over the last 25 years.

Ron Branch and his family started growing some of the early releases as soon as they were available in the midto late-1980s. The Branch family’s Berry Ridge Farm is perched above Lake Lakota, west of Alexandria.

They grow strawberries, raspberries, flowers and just about every conceivable vegetable, but the 1,100-plant blueberry garden is central to their business.

Harvest is normally in July but this year it will spill over into August.

“You can pick most of the fruit in about three pickings,” Branch said.

“You get about 25 percent the first time, 50 percent the second time, and

Berry Ridge Farm, near Alexandria, Minn.

25 the last time.”

Branch said he wouldn’t grow anything if he didn’t enjoy eating it himself. Blueberries are no exception. Each variety has different characteristics and flavor, he points out. He encouraged us to try a berry from a shiny green St. Cloud plant. It is sweet and slightly spicy.

The University of Minnesota describes the flavor of Polaris, another of the varieties the Branch family grows, as sweet and aromatic. The Patriot variety is tart and aromatic, according to the U of M. “The smaller berries, like from North Country, are best for putting in muffins and pancakes,” he said.

Everybody likes blueberries it seems, including robins and even raccoons. In a normal year the entire blueberry patch would be covered in bird netting.

However, 2013 is not a normal year.

The robins aren’t particularly inter-

ested and the netting hasn’t been necessary. Yields are down also.

“In a good year this St. Cloud plant will yield 10 pounds of fruit,” Branch said. “This year they will probably yield only three pounds.”

Some plants don’t have any fruit at all. He is mystified by that but, like any good farmer, he’s already thinking about next year.

“They have a lot of new growth,” he points out. “Next year’s fruit buds will form this year on the new growth.”

The little green waxy blueberry flowers require pollination. Bumblebees are the best pollinators for blueberries.

The Branch family encourages the nesting of wild bumblebees and even purchases bumblebee colonies. Occasionally they get stung.

The Branch family sells blueberries from their farm and at the Alexandria farmers market. ❖
