“Where Farm and Family Meet”

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent From out of the past comes a fiery red-head with the speed of light, a flash of black and white, and a hearty “rata-tat-tat.” The red-headed woodpecker.

I apologize for that dramatic outburst, but sighting a redheaded woodpecker as a farm boy was as exciting as it was to hear the Lone Ranger come on the radio years ago. It is even more exciting these days.

The excitement is intensified because it is such a rare occurrence. There has been a precipitous decline in the number of redheaded woodpeckers over the past 40 years. There are states in the eastern United States where the bird is listed as “threatened” and even “endangered.” In the Midwest, numbers have declined close to 50 percent during those 40 years.

These facts are among the information Red-headed Woodpecker Recovery has on its website, www.redheadrecovery.org.

Red-headed Woodpecker Recovery is a project of the Audubon Chapter of Minneapolis and was initiated by two members with a background in bluebird recovery.

Jerry Bahls, who is now president of the Audubon Club, was the first coordinator, a position currently filled by Chet Meyers.

The loss of such a flashy bird would be sad, but the project is about more than saving a colorful creature.

“The loss of any species impacts on the health of the environment,” Meyers said in an e-mail interview. “We are just too ignorant to appreciate all the implications.”

But we aren’t ignorant of the causes behind the drop in numbers. It is loss of habitat. As the website explains, red-headed woodpeckers need a specific habitat — oak savanna with snags.

Oak savanna has mature trees with an open

Real recovery must go into the general countryside WOODPECKER, from pg. 2A headed woodpecker will come.

But even there the numbers fluctuate.

According to Mary Spivey, education coordinator at Cedar Creek, spotters located 32 nests in their 2013 annual count, down from 50 nests last year.

Jim Howitz is a researcher in the red-headed woodpecker study at Cedar Creek, and shared his experience in e-mail correspondence. He told how by placing a feeding platform near a nest, they were able to trap and band 50 birds with a unique combination of colored bands so individual birds could be recognized, helpful since “males and females look just alike.” Males and females also share duties equally — excavating the nest, incubating eggs and feeding the babies.

“One of the dangers red-headed woodpeckers face is vehicle traffic,” Howitz said. “We found three woodpeckers killed by collisions with vehicles along the county road that adjoins the study area. One of the birds killed

was a female who had babies in the nest. The male took over all the parental duties and fed the nestlings for another 20 days until they left the nest and then until they could fend for themselves.”

Several of the birds would come when they spotted the researchers, hoping for the treats they put on the feeding platforms.

“Some even follow us around, expecting a handout,” Howitz said. “The birds are a challenge but also a delight to work with.”

Real recovery, however, must go beyond the Reserve into the general countryside. What Red-headed Woodpecker Recovery looks for are clusters, defined as three nesting pairs within a quarter-mile radius. In the past, clusters have been recorded at golf courses, Camp Ripley and other private areas.

(There’s a location map at their website.)

Private landowners will play a big role in the bird’s recovery. Loss of habitat due to urban sprawl and intensive

agriculture is the primary reason for the decline in numbers, Meyers said, though there may be other factors we don’t understand.

What is understood is that providing habitat will encourage recovery. Redheaded Woodpecker Recovery has found nesting pairs on small abandoned farmsteads, so stopping their removal and maintaining other wooded spots is a first step. Other areas such as parks, cemeteries and golf courses can provide habitat — if they will tolerate some dead trees, which Meyers admits is not an easy sell.

If golfers and others sight a redheaded woodpecker occasionally, perhaps a few dead trees would not seem

unsightly. As for the safety issue, the website advises how to trim trees so they are not so likely to blow down yet maintain the large branches in which the woodpeckers like to nest.

The loss of wildlife can be caused by human activity, so human activity can also aid its recovery. Red-headed Woodpecker Recovery needs the public’s participation to be successful From out of the past come memories of a striking red, white and black creature flashing through the air. The redheaded woodpecker flies again! With our help.

Iowa Crop Improvement Association awards scholarships

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Four $1,000 scholarships have been awarded by the Iowa Crop Improvement Association to support Iowa State University College of Agronomy students planning to pursue careers in seed science or the seed industry.

The 2013 scholarship recipients are: • Evan VanDerWal, a sophmore majoring in agronomy from Sanborn, Minn.

• Dillion Luhman, a junior majoring in agronomy from Radcliffe, Iowa • Hannah Schau, a junior majoring in agronomy from Donnellson, Iowa • Nick Spellman, a senior majoring in agronomy from Woodward, Iowa

“The Iowa Crop Improvement Association is pleased to provide significant support in recognition of the academic excellence, leadership and interpersonal skills these students have demonstrated,” said ICIA Executive Director Jim Rouse. “We are honored to enhance the future of the seed industry through the accomplishments of students like these.”

Scholarships were awarded at the annual Agronomy Student Recognition Banquet.

Farmers have hard time recognizing own limitations Most farmers, especially during the planting and harvesting seasons, tend to overestimate their durability. They simply do need more sleep.

— Ted Matthews she would have, and should have, an opinion since she is doing the numbers.

He’s concerned about the aggressive attitudes of farmers when it comes to buying land. “Even though they all say that prices are getting out of hand yet as soon as that neighboring quarter comes up, they’re bidding,” Matthew said. He asks what happens when some bubbles start occurring? Also what happens if injury or illness or death suddenly occurs? Yet he marvels at the uniqueness of agriculture where if a farmer suddenly needs help, for whatever reason, almost as suddenly 10 tractors or 10 combines show up.

“Neighbors show up, usually without even being called. They do what needs to be done for that farmer, that family. They don’t charge a dime. If you try to pay they would be offended. So even though the land chasing seems almost reckless and greedy, farmers have the biggest hearts,” Matthews said.

He’s still somewhat amazed at agriculture’s predictable transition of sons taking over the farming See LIMITATIONS, pg. 8A

to retire from the farm than is the husband. “The reality is that it’s harder for the older farmer to slow down, than his wife. Let’s face the other reality of crop farming these days is that farmers are employed only for a part of the year. And what to do with this amazing amount of so-called free time is indeed a mental challenge.”

What’s making this retirement issue more difficult? One reality is that often the wife is now the chief bookkeeper of the farming operation. She knows she has opinions and that generates controversy, Matthews said.

“Men for a thousand years never had to argue with their women about what equipment to buy, but not so anymore,” he chuckled, adding, “make too many wrong decisions on equipment and you lose the farm.

Yes, there’s lots more give and take on farm decisions than there used to be.”

He advises his male customers that if their wife is doing the books how can you possibly not expect that

THE LAND, AUGUST 30, 2013 “Where Farm and Family Meet”

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Veteran farm therapist Ted Matthews has shared time with many farmers. He knows the quirks that often typify a farmer’s action.

When talking about the stresses of modern day farming he shared a most common observation. “Most farmers, especially during the planting and harvesting seasons, tend to overestimate their durability. They simply do need more sleep.”

Conversely, Matthews said, farmers who don’t need as much sleep think extra sleep is being lazy. They then push themselves harder and that is a setup for potential disaster.

So who’s most guilty of pushing the envelope and not knowing — or acknowledging — their own limitations? Matthews’ consulting experience with the Farm Business Management Program tells him that older farmers tend to push harder. Yet because of better equipment and much more technology he contends there isn’t the need to crank up like there used to be.

“Admittedly those old habits die hard,” he said.

Matthews said another social change going on in rural Minnesota is “Kids used to take over the farm when Dad got into his late-50s, early 60s. And that was basically because Dad’s body was wrecked by that age, especially if he was a dairy farmer. But now thanks to technology both in farming and medicine, Dad can farm ’til he’s 85 if he wants to. A lot of them want to do just that and that conundrum is creating some social or transitional changes which is putting new stresses on both Dad and the family.”

What’s the impact of education in this era of agricultural stress? Does the “better-educated” farmer push harder because he thinks he can, and should?

Farm consultants hesitate to make a call on that issue, but Matthews suggested the value of sons going off to college before returning to the farm because “if they listen to their father, and father listens to them, between the two of them they can come up with some pretty good ideas.”

The readily identifiable problem in many farm family relationships, however, is that most young people today don’t have the patience to listen, and many older folks tend to think the youngsters aren’t old enough to have opinions on these issues. “Both sides have some work to do in this area of mutual respect and understanding,” he said.

Will a farmer voluntarily bring up stress issues, whether that be mental, financial, even family and marital concerns? Not likely. But because Matthews functions as a “third party” in these disagreements he’s the unbiased listener with which a father or son can discuss issues in confidence. “The father will listen to me even when I’m quoting to him directly the very comments of his son, and vice versa. That also relates to wives and daughters who often are now part of this total team partnership.”

Matthews noted that often the wife is more ready

Difficult to admit that you can’t do it all by yourself LIMITATIONS, from pg. 7A business from their fathers.

Matthews noted this tradition rarely happens in most other businesses.

Even though this transition is often a stress-inducing environment, it is the very process that continues the tradition of family farming in Minnesota and rural America.

“It is often easier to have a hired employee come to your farm for eight hours of daily labor than it is for father and son or father and daughter to comfortably work together because you have much higher expectations of your kids,” he said.

So when a farmer realizes he’s in a “critical situation” whatever the issue, what’s the next move? How does he access a Ted Matthews or anyone else who’s gifted in listening

The reality is that it’s easier for a farmer to look at his neighbor and say ‘He needs help’ than it is for a farmer to look at himself and say ‘I need help.’”

— Ted Matthews before suggesting advice? Matthews said many, in fact most of his “counseling hookups,” happen because Minnesota farm business managers, or a rural banker or even a local Extension educator gets that farmer in touch with Matthews.

“The reality is that it’s easier for a farmer to look at his neighbor and say ‘He needs help’ than it is for a farmer to look at himself and say ‘I need help’,” Matthews said.

The other reality is that Matthews is

indeed one of a kind. He is the Minnesota FBM program director of mental health, officed at the Morris office with Ridgewater Community and Technical College. He’s been at this task since 1996 so probably can read the troubled minds of Minnesota farmers better than anyone. He prefers to be a ‘‘man on wheels” to visit farmers in their locale.

“I prefer a neutral location ... and that isn’t in the farmer’s office. Nor is it the local coffee shop where most farmers seem to know every other farmer. We need some distance from the farm itself so the farmer has to drive to meet me. That sort of puts us both in a neutral environment. And that’s when a farmer is most honest with himself, and his conversations with me,” Matthews said.

Summing up, he makes these observations: • The work ethic of older farmers

seems stronger than that of younger farmers, perhaps because most farms used to have livestock.

• Younger family members don’t realize when you quit you can’t just live on social security.

• Retiring farmers often are willing to lend a hand to family members taking over the farm, but too often that “lending a hand” is like full time so the younger family members think they need only an eight-hour day on the farm.

• Farmers have an incredible amount of pride. Their farm is their achievement which generates a tremendous focus on leaving it even better.

• That pride also keeps them from saying “Good for me. We’re heading to the Bahamas this winter.”

• It also keeps them from saying “I’ve got nothing to do. I guess we’ll take a vacation.”

THE LAND, AUGUST 30, 2013

The flock of laying hens at Seven Songs Organic Farm are now certified as Animal Welfare Approved.

This certification and food label lets consumers know that these animals were raised in accordance with the highest animal welfare standards in the United States, using sustainable agriculture methods on an independent family farm.

Like other AWA farmers across the country, Melissa Driscoll recognizes the growing consumer interest in how animals are being raised. Driscoll joined the AWA program because she believes in raising chickens according to the AWA’s standards, and she recognized the importance of third-party certification in proving “we are doing what we say we’re doing” to her customers. “We were impressed with the thoroughness of AWA’s certification process, and thoughtfulness of the standards,” she said.

Seven Songs Organic Farm is located on seven acres between Kenyon and Wanamingo, with excellent black prairie soil, a large barn, a granary building used as a chicken coop and a hoop house for growing produce out of season. Driscoll raises a flock of AWA

Q&A: One farmer’s viewpoint on farming stress

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Sac county, Iowa, farmer Jim Meyer speaks from experience on the issue of farm stress.

After graduating from Iowa State University, Meyer taught vocational agriculture for a few years, then went into ag banking, before returning to the home farm of pork production and grain.

He also served two terms as a state representative in the Iowa Legislature. The following is a Question & Answer session with Meyer on the topic of stress.

Q: Because of the high stakes of farming today, are we seeing more behavioral issues among farmers?

Meyer: I don’t see indications of increased behavioral issues among farmers. High land prices and higher cash rent are causing some stress. However increased cash flow from higher corn and bean prices have caused over-optimistic commitments.

Farmers have been very successful at bidding up input costs until profit is non-existent. I am not hearing about threatened suicides like we had in the early ’80s.

Q: Are increasing debt loads a contributing factor to increasing divorce rates within rural families?

Meyer: Marital disharmony comes from two major causes: financial problems and lack of sexual compatibility. Successful farming operations include a business plan that involves all members of the management team. Farmers that do not involve their spouse are missing the boat. Not only are the spouse inputs valuable, but they are going

Jim Meyer to provide muchneeded support.

This harmony will be there if everyone knows what is going on and why.

The same is true of children and their spouses.

Lack of transparency is like playing basketball with only one hand. You can do it, but it works a whole lot better with two. Most spouses have offfarm jobs or careers and the juggling of schedules and support for each other, as well as the kids, is so important.

Q: Due to technology in both farm equipment and medicine, farmers stay healthy longer and farm longer. Is this causing strife with sons and daughters wanting to become farming partners?

Meyer: The problem of fathers using sons and daughters as hired hands has been around since the sod was broken. This happens because Dad is insecure. He can’t stand to be challenged or have his judgment questioned. Thus those around him are

not encouraged to share their management skills.

Technology has been a real plus in involving the younger generation. Dad simply has to depend on the younger, brighter tech minds to make the equipment work correctly.

One of the smartest plans I know is allowing young people to own and raise livestock and crops to earn money for more education or to buy into the operation. It always seemed to me it was easier to give up a little income over a 10-year period as the young people grow up, rather than come up with $20,000 to $30,000 the year a child wants to go to college, buy a house, or start a business.

Q: Should outside counsel be a first step when farm families sit down to discuss a transition of the farm?

Meyer: Another opinion is always good if you are secure enough to handle the comments. Most successful business operations use paid consultants.

These are doctors, dentists, tax preparers, crop consultants. We are also good at collecting as many pointers as we can for no pay. The role of consulting is very clear. If you are going to pay someone for advice, either pay attention and use the information as best you can, or fire the consultant.

Q: Can farmers start with a visit to their county Extension office when they want advice on how to avoid a potential financial crisis?

Meyer: Because of media, social and educational change, the county Extension office help has diminished. Extension still has some value, but requires a cell phone number of the specialist you need. As is See Q&A, pg. 12A

THE LAND, AUGUST 30, 2013

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Could the growing stress of farming today be mostly of social origin?

Mike Rosmann, well-known clinical psychologist living at Harlan, Iowa, points out farmers today work much more in isolation than previous generations. This lack of social interaction with neighboring farmers stymies their opportunity to “unload” thoughts and feelings.

He said that farming has one of the highest injury-related rates for any occupation in America, annually ranking in the top 3. And if we include fishing and forestry as agricultural occupations, as the U.S. Department of Agriculture does, then farming is the most hazardous occupation.

“But what most people don’t understand is that farming is also a psychological hazard because the suicide rate for farmers is higher than most any other work group. The suicide rate correlates directly with economic stress,” Rosmann said.

He points out a farmer’s behavioral health is linked with their economic success. Behavioral issues includes things such as substance abuse, arguing and fighting among family members, as well as mental health difficulties such as depression.

Substance abuse has always existed in farm living, however today that abuse has worsened more among younger farmers and teenagers in rural communities.

“The substance misuse rate among farmers is about the same as for non-farmers after they reach their mid-30s,” Rosmann said. But alcohol has always been an issue with many farmers. They drink to numb pain and to lessen psychological stress. “If you drink enough you don’t think about bothersome issues such as getting bills paid, crop losses, or bad

Seeking outside counsel How does a farmer find help? “More services are being offered through Extension; through Beginning Farmers programs; even through local churches in some situations. Minnesota has a Sustainable Farming Association directed by John Mesko.

The number of people who undertake transition planning is slowly increasing,” Rosmann said.

Somewhat shocking is that about 40 percent of farmers have neither a will nor a transition plan, Rosmann said.

The tax consequences alone can be huge for the heirs. Rosmann suggested that getting a will or transition plan in writing should be an immediate priority.

Rosmann compliments farmers on their social awareness today. Obviously the explosion of social media via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter and Smart Phones has speeded the entire process.

So, too, has education, for most younger farmers have advanced training beyond high school.

“Beginning farmers today average 3.2 years of college. College-educated farmers are more likely to develop a business plan that does a systematic analysis of their operation. In a sense, they take advantage of the resources available better. Farmers without that extra education might have a few more hurdles,” he said.

Are we seeing more “behavioral health” issues among farmers because

of the high stakes of today’s farming?

“Yes, behavioral health of farmers is linked with their economic success. At present, U.S. agriculture is in a fairly optimistic position. But agriculture could fall apart rapidly if grain prices decline considerably.

“My summary advice to farmers is that they need to stay ‘open minded’ about seeking outside counsel, preferably before the ‘stress syndrome’ starts ripping at their personal health, their family environment and their marriage.

“Feelings of success and coping are tied to the financial success of the farm operation. Behavioral issues may in fact be related to a farmer’s DNA, which programs their ability or lack thereof to reach out for assistance. We now have located on the human genome the site which impacts depression, anxiety and the struggles when things don’t go right.

“This bit of DNA helps us to be successful but it also has a cutting side that hurts us when we get to be overwhelmed with difficulties.”

Rosmann is working on a text book that explains the new knowledge of human genomics and the implications of choosing a farming vocation. He has popularized the term, Agrarian Imperative, as genetically programmed instincts which may be driving the decision-making processes of farmers and would-be farmers.

The objective is to better understand the psychological factors that affect the well-being of people engaged in farming. ❖

Ugandan visitors wowed by scale of U.S. farming

Tim Krohn/Mankato Free Press

A delegation of Ugandan bakers and food distributors hoped to build relationships with U.S. soybean growers.

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

Africa, has been to America before but hadn’t before been immersed in farm country.

“For us, it’s amazing about the scope of your production. We’ve never seen this scale of farming.”

Yemisi Janet Enirayetan, a Nigerian food marketer, said her company already sells a lot of soy flour. “Most of our bakers use soy, but they need to use wheat flour, too.” Those bakers she said, range from one-person operations that sell bread and other baked goods at markets, to large baking companies

that buy soy flour by the shipping container.

The use of soy flour has increased in recent years, in part because of a push to bring more protein-rich soy to developing countries by the World Initiative for Soy in Human Health.

Josh Neiderman, of the Initiative, said the goal of the local two-day tour is to build relationships between those selling and using soy in Africa with those who are producing soybeans. “They just want to get experience on how soybeans are grown here.”

The tour, co-sponsored by the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association, continued the next day with a tour of the Perry and Lou Ann Meyer and Justin and Jody Enter farms near New Ulm, Minn. There were also visits scheduled at the Klossner Feed Mill and a tour of CHS soy processing plant in Mankato, Minn.

Besides being a major producer of soybeans, the Mankato area is one of the world leaders in soy processing, with ADM, Cargill and CHS processing millions of bushels of soybeans into oils, flour and meal for human and animal feed.

Leiding, who is on the Soybean Growers board of directors, said about half of Minnesota soybeans are exported, including a large amount of soy meal going to China for animal feed.

THE LAND, AUGUST 30, 2013

By TIM KROHN Mankato Free Press LAKE CRYSTAL, Minn. — When Ssebaakijje Isaac Mukisa asked farmer Brad Leiding how many soybeans he produced on an acre of land, Leiding said he averaged about 50 bushels.

The amount meant nothing to the Ugandan soy distributor until he and Leiding figured out a conversion of bushels to pounds and then kilos. “Wow,” Mukisa said.

Mukisa and more than a dozen other bakers and food distributors were a bit overwhelmed by the scale and production of American farms.

“In our country you grow maybe 10 acres for yourself, here you have thousands of acres,” Mukisa said.

The group stopped by Leiding’s Lake Crystal, Minn., farm the evening of Aug. 11, after spending a week taking classes about baking with soy flour at the Northern Crops Institute in Fargo, N.D. The visit is aimed at encouraging the use of soy flour, which has a higher protein level and other benefits over wheat flour.

Isaac Njoroge, a baker from Uganda, said farming there is only about 5 percent mechanized with most work done by hand. “The farms here are so much advanced, 100 times.” Dutliff Snyman, who owns a food consulting and distribution firm in South

Controlled drainage aims to make big impact

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Drainage Water Management is retrofitting an existing tile system with a water control structure which makes it possible for operators to directly manage water table levels. Thanks to some unseasonable dry seasons across portions of Phil Algreen the Corn Belt the past couple of years, drainage management is picking up interest.

At Farmfest, Phil Algreen, representing the Agri Drain Corp. of Adair, Iowa, was talking controlled tile drainage. He said more research is now proving the merits of controlling the water table in your cropland, especially as it relates to better yields in a moisture-deficient season.

In a normal weather season, it might be difficult to measure yield benefits. But in a low-rainfall season yield advantages of 5 to 7 percent on corn and 2 to 3 percent on soybeans are likely.

— Phil Algreen But he cautioned, “there are a lot of variables when you start talking about controlled drainage. The weather is always changing and weather is the single biggest determiner of potential increases in crop performance because of managing the flow of water through your tile system.

Rewind

“In a normal weather season, it might be difficult to measure yield benefits. But in a low-rainfall season yield advantages of 5 to 7 percent on corn and 2 to 3 percent on soybeans are likely.”

More water available to your crops when they need it is the thrust of controlled drainage. Initially recommended on soils of one-degree slope or less, systems are now being installed in fields of 2 percent.

“Timing is critical in drainage water management,” Algreen said. “If you don’t save the water when it’s available, it’s simply too late. So you’ve got to have some anticipation, listen to local weather, and then react accordingly.”

The number of acres a given flow control structure can handle depends upon the slope of your particular field, but the goal is to maximize that number. “And that’s why flatter is better,” he said, noting that if one structure can do 80 acres the cost is insignificant.

A water level control structure costs on average about $700, Algreen said. The water gate, the buried unit that responds to the control structure, costs $600. He said 20 acres per system is doable in most situations but 40 acres is often a starting point.

Obviously as slope increases, acreage controlled with a single unit tends to decrease.

“The 2012 drought jumped interest in controlled drainage considerably,” Algreen said. “We’re seeing land owners install systems to fill a pond, develop a wetland area for duck habitat, but land prices and commodity prices are definitely putting drainage management systems into more and more crop land.”

He said that cost-share money is available. He also See DRAINAGE, pg. 15A

Pioneer opens expanded research center Pioneer started facility near Mankato in 1958

MANKATO, Minn. — DuPont Pioneer celebrated the opening of its new $2.5 million corn research center mid-August.

“This expansion is a direct result of our commitment to helping Minnesota growers place the right products on their farms,” Steve Reno, vice president, regional business director-U.S., said in a statement.

“Testing products in the environment in which they will be grown is essential to helping growers get the most out of their seed investment as they strive to help meet the growing global demand for food.”

The new facility provides space to accommodate the continued growth of the corn program within the company including supporting the IMPACT plot product advancement program, which selects the best Pioneer brand products to fit the local growing environment. This expansion includes renovation of existing office space and development of a new site plan designed to increase safety and efficiency.

Pioneer first established a research station in Mankato in 1958 and built a center in the current location in 1966. It was last remodeled and expanded in 1998. Since then, the center has experienced substantial growth in the number and size of its research programs, which develop corn hybrids, commercialize new technologies and test next-generation products for growers in southern Minnesota.

DuPont Pioneer — www.pioneer.com — is the world’s leading developer and supplier of advanced plant genetics, providing seeds to farmers in more than 90 countries.

Corn maturity delayed; soybean aphids still need to be scouted threshold the week of Aug. 11. The large number of late-planted fields may mean risk from soybean aphids will be later in the season than usual. The economic threshold is 250 aphids per plant, 80 percent of the plants with aphids present, aphid populations increasing and soybeans are less than R6.

Unlike the spotty, early-season infestations created by aphids from moving from buckthorn and colonizing soybeans, current infestations are now much more widespread. Over the past couple of weeks, migrating winged aphids have created relatively uniform infestations in many fields. Recent weather had been almost ideal for aphid population increases.

As usual, the extent and level of infestations varies by geography, soybean maturity and other factors but in some areas of Minnesota, many fields are now approaching economic threshold. Over the next week or so, it is important that Minnesota soybean producers assess aphid populations in their fields.

differences in development time occur primarily from emergence to silking, not from silking to maturity.

To predict whether corn will mature before frost note the hybrid maturity, planting date and tasseling (silking) date of the field. For silage, add 42 to 47 days on to this date to predict 50 percent kernel milk, while for grain, add 55 to 60 days to predict maturity. These dates are guidelines which will require further in-season decisions as the season unfolds. Another way to look at this is that when corn begins the “dent stage” there are still 27 to 32 days required until maturity for grain corn and silage corn is still just 75 to 85 percent of maximum silage yield.

Other field crops advanced in maturity as well as evidenced by the fact that 92 percent of the soybean crop was at or beyond the blooming stage, compared to the normal 95 percent. Fifty-eight percent of soybeans were setting pods, 15 days behind last year.

Soybean conditions improved slightly to 63 percent good or excellent. In addition 83 percent of the spring wheat crop was turning ripe, behind the average of 85 percent. Spring wheat conditions remained at 63 percent good or excellent.

THE LAND, AUGUST 30, 2013

Welcome precipitation in Minnesota kept soil moisture levels mostly adequate during the week ending Aug. 11, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Statistics Service. Nearly all of Minnesota’s corn has reached the silking stage.

Corn at the milk or beyond stage advanced 29 percentage points to 43 percent. Seven percent of corn had reached the dough stage, over two weeks behind last year and nine days behind the five-year average.

Corn conditions improved slightly to 61 percent good or excellent.

However the delayed spring planting of corn this spring along with cooler-than-average air temperatures the past several weeks has slowed the growth of corn (only 7 percent in the dough stage) in many areas of southern Minnesota. In many fields the calendar dates of silking and pollination occurred later than normal.

A rule of thumb is that field grain corn requires 55 to 60 days from the time of pollination until physiological maturity of the corn plant as indicated by the presence of a “black layer” of dead plant cells at the corn kernel point of attachment on the corn cob. This would translate this year to around Oct. 1 or the first week of October for many area fields. Thus there is a chance of an earlier-than-normal (Oct. 1-10) killing frost which could affect final yield, maturity and test weight of grain corn.

Field grain corn will still need time after that to dry to a combine/grain storage moisture for the year as physiological maturity moisture is typically from 30- to 35-percent moisture content. Hybrid maturity

Grain Outlook Weather, crop tour highlights

Livestock Angles Cash steady, futures drifting

Grain Angles Your pre-harvest checklist

The following market analysis is for the week ending Aug. 23.

CORN — Weather and the Midwest Crop Tour were the featured highlights for the week. Corn started the week out with a nice 22-cent rally when weekend rains failed to materialize, only to give it back throughout the week.

December corn managed to close the week with a 6 1/2-cent gain at $4.70 per bushel, after hitting a weekly high of $4.86 3/4 per bushel. The September contract was much more impressive as it performs as an old crop contract. Farmer selling was slow PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. and we need to keep bushels in St. Paul the pipeline with the help of both the futures and the basis. September corn jumped 21 3/4 cents higher for the week to close at $4.95 1/2 per bushel. It did hit $5 on Friday when the September options expired.

The Midwest Crop tour calculated the U.S. corn crop at 13.46 billion bushels using a yield of 154.1 bushels per acre. This is 303 million bushels less than the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s August estimate of 13.763 billion bushels. The yields were similar with the tour only 0.3 bu./acre less than the USDA. In a state-by-state breakdown of the states covered: Ohio, 168; Indiana, 163; Illinois, 164; Iowa, 163; Minnesota, 163; Nebraska, 161 and South Dakota, 142 bu./acre. The tour’s crop estimate was based on 1.8 million less harvested acres. Crop conditions as of Aug. 18 declined 3 percent in the good/excellent category to 61 percent and are

The livestock markets have had some interesting weeks in August. The cattle market has been unusually quiet and firm, while the hog market has what appears to be a seasonal top.

The cash cattle market has been grinding away at near-steady to slightly better prices, while at the same time the cattle futures have been slowly drifting lower. The beef cutouts have seen improvement over the past several weeks and appear to have bottomed, presenting the packers with better margins.

This has allowed the bidding for live animals more flexibility and thus improving prices in the JOE TEALE Broker cash market. The futures, on the other hand, have seen the posi- Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. tive basis shrink away and close in on the current live price.

On Aug. 23, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released the Monthly Cattle on Feed Report. The results are as follows: on-feed Aug. 1, 94 percent; placements in July, 90 percent; and marketed in July, 105 percent. The report was seen as friendly primarily due to the placement number and the better marketed number. This obviously suggests that from the supply standpoint, cattle numbers will be tight.

However, from the demand side of the equation, domestic demand has continued to be poor and has slowed over the past year. If it weren’t for the export demand, the overall demand for beef would completely offset the supply of cattle.

With economic conditions not improving, it will be hard for the cattle market to make a long-term sus-

So far, this year has been anything but ordinary, especially for folks with a significant amount of prevented-plant acres. As I’ve been meeting with clients the past few weeks, it has become clear that planning for this fall may require looking at things a bit differently. Here are a few suggested items to add to your pre-harvest checklist.

Double-check your coverage If you are an owner of a multiperil crop insurance policy, your schedule of insurance should be arriving from your agent soon. If there was ever a year to put reviewing acres and coverage high on your priority list, this is it. Making changes to your policy DAREL NESS later this fall may prove to be difAgStar Assistant VP ficult or near impossible. There is Financial Services Rochester, Minn. certainly a higher likelihood of having a payable loss this fall, especially on corn revenue policies.

If the December corn contract continues to trade at current levels through October, producers who have purchased higher levels of revenue insurance, like 80 to 85 percent, will have a bushel guarantee per acre that is close to their actual production history.

Although we are hearing about the great potential yields of this corn crop nationally, many in our area are not expecting an above-average crop.

Stress test your marketing plan for volatility Whether a grain producer or an end-user, make sure your marketing plan is ready for the volatility we could potentially experience this fall. We have a lot of acres nationally that need a favorable fall to mature. An early frost could be devastating to our

able incomes — like prevent-plant crop insurance payments and reimbursements back to producers for unused seed and fertilizer on prevent-plant acres — that need to be considered. The earlier you get a handle on your income and where you want to be, the more options you will have to get yourself there.

As we close the door on summer and look ahead to fall, we are facing a lot of uncertainty in the grain industry. We all know that there is nothing we can do to impact the weather, the markets or the national harvest, but planning ahead and being prepared can make a big difference in the success of your operation. One can only hope that the weather will cooperate more this fall than it did this spring.

The hog market has shown that the normal seasonal top that comes nearly every summer did not miss a beat again this year. Cash hog prices have been on the decline since the middle of August reflecting the chance that that high is now in place.

The futures market had already anticipated this topping event and remains a deep discount to the current cash price.

In addition, the pork cutout has declined from its high made in early August and appears to be in retreat for the near future. Because of the competitive nature of the consumer to the prices in the meats, one would suspect if the disparity between the retail price of beef exceeds the retail price of pork, there will be a switch to the lesser expensive pork. This could help hold hog prices from any real sharp declines if beef prices hold current levels or rise much further.

The demand for pork has remained fairly good throughout the year and could end up being the supportive factor that slows the downward move in hog prices. Producers should be cognizant of the market conditions and protect inventories when necessary. ❖

Proactively communicate with your marketing advisers and grain merchandiser to discuss how different scenarios may impact your operation. Don’t forget to consider the part that basis may play in our price changes this fall; it is a price risk not covered by multi-peril crop insurance revenue policies.

Start your income tax planning earlier than usual Have you looked at your taxable income year-todate? It may surprise you. Many of my grain clients are sitting on the largest taxable income levels they have had in their careers. At the same time, they are anticipating lower income in 2014 because of lower prices and fewer bushels. Getting a plan in place before harvest to target your fall income and expenses just makes sense.

We also have had unusual events impacting tax-

was buying beans from South America.

OUTLOOK: If the weather is still questionable next week, the $13.50 3/4 resistance will likely be taken out, opening the door for ...? First support lies at the gap left this week from $12.72 to $12.72 1/2, then the 100-day moving average at $12.50 per bushel.

August weather determines the bean crop and it hasn’t been ideal with heat and limited rainfall recently. Since the crop went in late, we need additional time on the calendar to maximize yield. Last week’s crop conditions were down 2 percent and are anticipated to fall further as of Aug. 25. Turning to old crop beans, demand is back and basis is improving; just don’t overstay your welcome if you still have old crop to sell.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending Aug. 23: December Minneapolis wheat fell 13 1/4 cents on harvest pressure, Kansas City was down a nickel while Chicago gained 2 1/2 cents per bushel. October crude oil declined 87 cents to $106.42, September ultra-low-sulfur diesel was 1.2 cents higher, reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending rallied nearly 4 cents and natural gas rose 11 3/4 cents.

up 68 3/4 cents per bushel for the week.

This puts the 2013 high at $13.50 3/4 per bushel as the next target.

The Midwest Crop Tour’s final results were released after the close on Friday, pegging the U.S. soybean yield at 41.8 bu./acre compared to the USDA’s latest 42.6 bu./acre forecast. They projected the bean crop at 3.158 billion bushels (taking 800,000 off the harvested acres), down 97 million bushels from the USDA’s August estimate of 3.255 billion bushels.

If you take the difference straight off the bottom line of the balance sheet, next year’s carryout is only 123 million bushels.

Depending on how the pods fill and whether we avoid an early freeze, this makes many wonder if the USDA’s 220 million bushel 2013-14 carryout is too big.

The state-by-state yield breakdown for toured states: Ohio and Indiana, 48; Illinois, 46; Iowa, 43; Minnesota, 40; Nebraska, 46 and South Dakota, 36 bu./acre. One thing to note on the tour’s bean estimate, they count pods, but studies have found there is virtually no correlation between number of pods and final yield. Weather will still be the dominate force in what the final crop size will be.

Export sales this week were only 800,000 for old crop as the crop year winds down. New crop sales were big at 34 million bushels. Of the total sales on the books for new crop of 619 million bushels, China’s portion is about 505 million bushels. There were rumors floating during the week that China

NYSTROM, from pg. 18A expected to show another decrease as of Aug. 25.

Weekly export sales were mediocre at 2.3 million bushels with new crop sales neutral at 17.1 million bushels. Total new crop commitments are 416.2 million bushels versus only 309 million on the books last year at this time. We need this to continue since the USDA is projecting 2013-14 corn exports to increase 71 percent year on year. Following up on the USDA’s plan to buy sugar from processors and sell it to ethanol plants, sugar processors are reportedly on track to sell 90,150 tons of sugar to the USDA. There are rumors that a firm may reopen an ethanol plant and use sugar as a feed source. Weekly ethanol production was down 13,000 barrels per day this week to 844,000 barrels/day.

OUTLOOK: December corn’s range now stands with $4.45 3/4 as support and $4.86 3/4 as resistance. If conditions warrant, a push to $5 may be possible. Weather is key going forward for new crop. We need heat for the crop to mature, but not so much that we hurt the yield potential. We need rain, but not so much as to delay maturity. Premiums for old crop bushels should continue until we see harvest begin in earnest somewhere in the Corn Belt. Harvest in the South has begun, but periods of rain haven’t let it go full force. There have also been reports of some quality problems due to late wet conditions. Looking ahead, if an unexpected rain event appears we will backtrack quickly; if not, we’ll lean higher.

SOYBEANS — November soybeans have rallied $1.45 3/4 per bushel in the last two weeks. Care to venture why? Of course, it’s the weather.

Forecasts for hot and dry conditions through the end of August and its effects on how the crop will finish, combined with a lack of any grower selling, have sent prices soaring. At the whim of Mother Nature it could all disappear, but November soybeans closed at their highest level since June 7 this week at $13.28,

The report also shows production is struggling and below a year ago in the West, significantly higher in the Midwest, and a little higher in the East, he said, possibly meaning a little more cheese and a little less butter and powder.

Through the first seven months of the year, 2013 dairy cow slaughter is well on its way to surpassing last year’s total of 3.1 million, the highest total in 26 years. The USDA began differentiating dairy cow slaughter from total cows in 1986. Before 2012, dairy cow slaughter topped 3 million only twice: in 1986, at 3.595 million (whole herd buy-out program); and 1996, at 3.037 million, according to the DBU. ■ Jerry Dryer, editor of the Dairy and Food Market Analyst, said in Friday’s DairyLine broadcast that the Milk Production report was bullish in that the growth in consumption is “cranking along at that rate or faster,” but huge product inventories hanging over the

Production inventory hanging over the markets up 3 cents. AMS powder averaged $1.7713, up 0.6 cent, and dry whey averaged 57.62 cents/lb., up 0.2 cent.

■ Product inventory indeed hangs over the markets. The USDA’s latest Cold Storage data shows July 31 butter stocks at 295.8 million pounds, down 23.1 million or 7 percent from June but 61.4 million or 26 percent above those a year ago.

The Daily Dairy Report points out that the typical July drawdown in butter stocks is 5.6 million pounds, so this drawdown was four times greater.

“Nevertheless, butter stocks exceeded prior-year levels by 26 percent and remain burdensome.”

High Ground Dairy’s Eric Meyer adds that the USDA made a “relevant” 5.2 million pound downward revision to June butter stocks which made the monthly declines all the more substantial at 23.1 million pounds. He said this was the largest June-to-July drawdown on a percentage basis since 1998 but cautions, “take our slightly bullish take on this report in perspective.

“The United States still has nearly 300 million pounds of butter sitting in

freezers around the country. It is going to take a demand miracle to bring those numbers down to more-normal levels by the end of the year.

“But if we got this kind of start in July with butter prices declining from the low-$1.50s to the mid-$1.40s throughout the month, imagine what might happen with prices at their lowest levels in nearly 15 months in August.”

He sees a “seasonal bump in prices” over the next 30 days “but getting past $1.60 for an extended period of time may prove to be a challenge given current fundamentals.”

■ American-type cheese, at 704.5 million pounds, was down 1 percent from June but 5 percent above a year ago.

The total cheese inventory stood at 1.152 billion pounds, unchanged from June but 5 percent above July 2012.

“The push for milk going into fluid for the reopening of schools has peaked,” said Bill Brooks, economist with INTL FCStone. “That with coolerthan-normal weather through much of the summer has made more milk available to manufacturers.”

Butter production varies in regions, according to the DMN. Western production is mostly steady, with plants gearing up for fall needs. Sales to grocery and club stores remain good. Central butter demand is flat and inventories are called “burdensome” at some facilities. Unless orders are in hand, most manufacturers are reluctant to churn butter. Northeast butter demand was termed as flat.

Minnesota dairy industry crowns 60th Princess Kay of the Milky Way MarJenna McWilliam, a 20-year-old college student from Winger, Minn., representing Polk County, was crowned the 60th Princess Kay of the Milky Way in an evening ceremony at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds Aug. 21.

MarJenna McWilliam, who will McWilliam serve as the official goodwill ambassador for nearly 4,000 Minnesota dairy farmers, is the 60th woman to hold the honor. McWilliam is the daughter of Bruce and LaVonne McWilliam of Winger, and attends North Dakota State University, majoring in English education with a

Norwegian language emphasis.

County dairy princesses from throughout Minnesota competed for the Princess Kay of the Milky Way title. Rachael Rostad of Wanamingo, representing Goodhue County, and Katie Schmitt of Rice, representing Benton County, were selected as runnersup. Alydia Lee of Lake City, representing Wabasha County, was named Miss Congeniality.

Scholarships were awarded to Johanna Knorr of Pelican Rapids, representing West Otter Tail County; Libby Mills of Lake City, representing Goodhue County; and Schmitt.

McWilliam’s first official duty as Princess Kay was to sit in a rotating cooler in the Dairy Building for about six hours on the opening day of the Minnesota State Fair to have her likeness sculpted in a 90-pound block of butter. Each of the other finalists will have her likeness carved in butter during the fair, as well. This year marks butter sculptor Linda Christensen’s 42nd year carving the Princess Kay of the Milky Way winner and finalists at the Minnesota State Fair.

Throughout her year-long reign as Princess Kay of the Milky Way, McWilliam will make public appearances helping consumers make a connection with Minnesota dairy farm

families who are dedicated to producing wholesome milk while caring for their animals and natural resources.

Princess Kay candidates are judged on their general knowledge of the dairy industry, communication skills, personality and enthusiasm for dairy promotion. The Midwest Dairy Association sponsors the Princess Kay program with funds provided by dairy farmers.

SROC celebrates 100 years A century ago, legislative appropriations allowed for the purchase of 246 acres near Waseca, Minn., for the establishment of the Southeast Demonstration Farm and Experiment Station.

The goal of this new facility was to demonstrate the value of good management and serve as a center for dissemination of knowledge. Over the years, development of new technologies and innovative production practices has made positive impacts on

food production systems, human health, renewable energy and the environment.

Currently, there are seven academic research programs at the Southern Research and Outreach Center with supported outreach components that integrate all aspects of agriculture in a forward-thinking manner.

That century of research and education is being celebrated 3-8 p.m. Sept.

THE LAND, AUGUST 30, 2013

Many homeowners start forgetting about their lawn this time of year. However, this is the ideal time for using post-emergence chemical applications for weed control.

According to the University of Minnesota Extension, post-emergence herbicides may be applied any time the weeds are actively growing, the air temperature is 60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, there are no winds, and there is no rain in the forecast for 48 hours. Most effective control of perennial broadleaf weeds is obtained when applied in early fall (Aug. 15-Oct. 15) or in spring (May 1-June 1).

For some weeds, repeated application at 20- to 30-day intervals may be required for control.

For dandelions, use 2, 4-D or a combination of 2, 4-D, MCPP (Mecoprop) and dicamba can also be utilized.

The ideal timing for applying these products for dandelion control is September. The non-chemical option is to manually dig out the plants. A weeding fork and dandelion diggers may be a couple of options for that task. Get as much of the dandelion root as you can so the dandelion does not start growing again.

For creeping charlie, use a combination of 2, 4-D and MCPP or a combination of 2, 4-D, MCPP and dicamba.

The ideal timing for applying these products to creeping charlie is in September or autumn once temperatures have cooled to the 60s and 70s. The non-chemical approaches are to pull the plant out or utilize a dethatching rake. It may be necessary to start over with the lawn if the creeping charlie gets out of control.

Most other broadleaf weeds can be controlled by herbicide applications of 2, 4-D and/or a combination of 2,4-D, MCPP and dicamba. It is always a good idea to know what you are spraying to be sure that the her-

Most importantly, he not only tells his children, but shows them with his own example and sweat equity that without agriculture, our world has nothing.

As we watched our 75-year-old neighbor being air-lifted away, we talked about the fact that he had been doing the work he loved doing all of his life. Whether or not we understand why farmers choose this life, we know for certain that they would rather have their hands in the soil until their last breath, than spend time in a rocking chair.

It’s in their hearts and in their blood. It’s their will and their purpose in this life.

And that’s why the farmer farms ... until the last gate has been closed behind him.

Two great Cajun tastes — grilled shrimp ’n grits There are many foods that naturally go together: Steak and baked potato, cereal and milk, pretzels and beer ... and in the South, shrimp and grits.

Today’s column is devoted to my version of shrimp and grits.

If you get a chance to eat at Jack Fry’s in Louisville, Ky., their take on shrimp and grits is a classic.

The shrimp are pan-seared and the cheesy grits are served with a delicious red-eye gravy. In fact, you can Google it and find the full recipe online.

My version is outdoorsy by utilizing hot coals, and a bit spicy with the addition of Cajun seasoning and a tomato-based barbecue sauce.

First, buy nice shrimp. I like to use 10-15 count, meaning there are roughly 10 to 15 shrimp per pound. These are the perfect size for skewering. In my area, they are typically frozen. If you can get them fresh, more power to you. We used 2 pounds for this dinner, and we had leftovers. Let the shrimp thaw (unless fresh) and then take the shell off and remove the mud vein. Skewer the shrimp with wooden skewers that have been soaked. Pierce through the meaty part and then through the tail so they resemble a “C” shape. The shrimp can touch but should not be crammed together.

Cheesy Grits 1 cup instant grits

3 cups whole milk 1 cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheese Salt and pepper to taste Warm the milk over medium heat to the point where you start to see some bubbling at the sides.

You have to stir the milk the entire time to keep it from burning on the bottom. Slowly stir in the grits.

Stir until you have the creamy consistency of cooked grits. Add salt and pepper to taste. Now, stir in the cheese. Continue stirring until it is melted into the grits, and that’s all there is to it.

Create a sauce by placing 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce (we used “Sweet Baby Rae” for this dish) in a small pot. Bring to a simmer while stirring. Now, add 1/2 cup of your favorite beer. Stir until fully mixed. The beer helps cut the sweetness of the BBQ sauce.

Sprinkle your favorite Cajun seasoning on both sides of the skewered shrimp. Now apply the sauce liberally to both sides of the shrimp. Place shrimp over hot coals. This can be done on a gas grill, too.

The shrimp won’t take long, maybe three minutes on one side and two minutes on the other side. Don’t overcook the shrimp as they will turn to rubber. They will be done when they have a pink color to them.

To serve, place a helping of grits on the plate. Now put three to four grilled shrimp on the grits. Drizzle with the BBQ-beer sauce. Quick, easy, Southern and delicious. Enjoy!

Modern-day orthopedics for animals improving

THANK YOU!

important for owners to keep in mind, and there are many preventive measures that may help alleviate future orthopedic diseases.

Kerwin suggests that the best thing you can do to prevent many diseases is to keep your pet healthy and in-shape.

This will not only help to ease orthopedic diseases, but it will help in all aspects of your pet’s livelihood.

Kerwin explains that, “research in dogs indicates that dogs kept in an appropriate body condition will live two years longer than their overweight counterparts, which is a very long time

in dog years. In addition, their risk for osteoarthritis is much lower.”

Kerwin is enthusiastic about where veterinary orthopedics has come. But, she also understands what is possible in the future and that there are a couple of challenges to face.

of crippling osteoarthritis. Fortunately, with today’s modern conveniences and knowledgeable specialists, these patients may enjoy full recoveries.

“On the large animal side, there is an active sports medicine, lameness and trauma service that provides arthroscopy (minimally invasive surgery using an arthroscope to treat damage in the interior of the joint) and fracture repair for horses and other large animal species,” Kerwin said.

“Our exotic and zoo animal service often sees birds, pocket pets and exotic animals with bone and joint problems, many of which can be treated successfully.”

Orthopedic diseases have not yet been confirmed to be related to just hereditary or environmental conditions. A lot of research has been targeted toward the inherited basis of the more common orthopedic diseases. Kerwin suggests that orthopedic problems can spur from both aspects.

“There is definitely a hereditary basis for hip dysplasia, with multiple genes involved,” Kerwin said. “Environment plays a big role as well, with diet and exercise as key factors involved in the development of signs of problems in affected animals.

Preventive measures are always

THE LAND, AUGUST 30, 2013

Strong bones, joints, ligaments and muscles are vital to healthy movement and a healthy lifestyle in animals. Now, when these functions go awry in a pet due to unhealthy habits or unfortunate circumstances, a pet’s quality of life can still be sustained due to the modern-day procedures of orthopedics in veterinary medicine.

Sharon Kerwin, professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences and a specialist in orthopedics and neurosurgery, said that orthopedics is the treatment or prevention of conditions affecting the bones, joints, ligaments and muscles. Kerwin said that orthopedic procedures in animals are much more advanced than most people are aware.

“We perform many of the same types of procedures that are available for treatment of similar problems in humans, with the goal of getting the injured animal back to normal activities as quickly and comfortably as possible,” Kerwin said.

Kerwin said that two of the most common problems she sees in dogs and cats are cranial cruciate ligament disease (similar to an ACL tear in humans) and hip dysplasia. Twenty years ago, affected patients of these problems would have resulted in cases

Church of the Visitation, Danvers, Minn.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

I

n an area of Minnesota that was settled by German and Irish immigrants, it is striking to see a church building that suggests you are in northern France. But the Catholic Church of the Visitation in Danvers offers that refreshing sight.

Rosemary Barth’s great-greatgrandparents are buried in the cemetery and she grew up in the congregation. She researched old newspaper articles and put together a scrapbook.

According to the articles, a grass fire got out of control in April of 1931 and

got sucked into the original woodframe building through a coal chute.

The structure burned to the ground.

The congregation immediately started plans to rebuild. The cornerstone was laid in August, and before the year was over, the first service was held in the new building on Christmas Eve. The handsome structure is built of brick and stone in French Normandy style, with a Norman spire topping the tower. Decorative dormers and buttresses, and symmetry in the roofline and windows, pleasantly draw the eye

to this hilltop house of worship.

The 90-foot by 40-foot structure, with heating plant and all, cost about $36,000. The congregation saved $600 when the excavation was done voluntarily by members of the parish. According to the articles, the architect was Cyril P. Pesek of Minneapolis. The design was probably the work of Pesek’s new partner in 1931, Glynne Shifflet. Shifflet had studied at the Fontainebleau School of Fine Arts in France the previous year.

Barth’s collection includes programs from Fall Festivals and other activi-

ties when it was a thriving congregation. The decline in the rural population led to a decline in membership, and it ceased to be a parish some years ago. Church of the Visitation is now an Oratory. Mass is held weekly on Tuesday nights, attended by local residents, and it is open for weddings, funerals and special events.

Or you could just stop by and imagine you are visiting France.

The church building is on the east end of Danvers, about a block south of Highway 12. ❖

the combine’s yearly checkup.”

While harvest planning and preparations are under way, Messner is in no hurry to jump in the combine. An early frost is “everybody’s fear,” he said; a mid-September frost “would be a disaster” and even a mid-October frost could be detrimental to the crop.

“All we can do is hope that it holds off.” For now, the focus remains on unwanted house guests in the soybean fields.

By KRISTIN KVENO The Land Correspondent

The Brandts Ada, Minn.

Going out in the fields with the crop insurance adjuster to look at the aftermath of the hail storm that hit Scott

Johnson’s farm on Aug. 6, he was “surprised at all the different stages the corn fields are in.”

The Johnson farm hasn’t received any rain since that early Scott Johnson August storm, and rain is needed, but the current heat wave in the area is also needed. When The Land spoke to Johnson on Aug. 19, he reported that “some of the ears were a lot further along.”

Two of his fields were hit hard by the hail, with beans taking the brunt of the damage. Those that weren’t hit by hail still look “pretty good.” Still uncertain is how the crops will tolerate the hail damage; the full extent of the hail damage won’t be known until harvest.

Johnson is spraying for aphids as they seem to be enjoying his later-planted bean fields.

Johnson is keeping his eye on his fields to see if they can continue to grow after the hail, while also working on “getting fertilizer plans together.”

Johnson knows that “harvest will be here before you know it.”

Farming is a never-ending game of pool, where the farmer is always lining up the next shot (harvest) and sometimes several shots ahead (fall and spring fertilizer). With a little luck, the late planting and the summer hail storm hasn’t tilted the pool table for a fair shot at a winning harvest on the Johnson farm.

The Messners Northfield, Minn.

Chris Messner has lots of new little “friends” in his fields and he would like them to take the hint that they aren’t welcome on any of his Chris Messner soybeans plants.

Aphids in and around the Messner farm “are pretty bad,” Messner told The Land on Aug. 19. Many lateseeded Minnesota soybean fields are quickly accumulating treatable populations of aphids.

The beans should be OK, he said, but they do have a long ways to go until they are ready to combine. “We could use a shot of rain,” Messner said. The beans are “not dry, but a lot of nodes are showing a little bit of stress.” Messner believes that most farmers in the area will not be expecting 60 bushel beans; rather 40 bushel beans may be the reality.

The corn is “coming along,” he said, although he drove by some fields on Aug. 19 and saw corn that wasn’t even tasseled. In Messner’s fields the “pollination looks pretty decent,” but he predicted that “yields are going to be all over the board.” Corn will be in the denting stage by next week, he said, and the crop is “not too far off from normal.”

Thoughts of harvest have begun on the Messner farm. “We’ve got all the bins cleaned out (and we’re) getting

The heat is on in northern Iowa. “It’s supposed to get to 90 tomorrow,” Charlie Laubenthal said.

When The Land spoke with him on Charlie Laubenthal Aug. 20 he was thrilled that the weather had turned from mid-70s and no rain, to high-humidity 90 F days with a chance of rain.

The “corn is tasseled” and “looks OK,” Laubenthal said, but it’s still behind. The soybeans are setting pods and “look decent ... I haven’t heard a lot of talk of aphids.” While aphids aren’t a problem in his fields, a lack of rain is; there hadn’t been rain in two weeks.

Laubenthal is getting updated and educated on the new corn hybrids and soybean varieties, as well as important program information from Mycogen Seeds. He is ready to put on his seed-selling hat as “seed sales will start again soon.” He is also working on finishing hauling corn and cleaning out the bottoms of bins.

“If we get some 90-degree days, that will progress the crop,” Laubenthal said. Warmer temperatures are keeping concerns about an early frost at bay. “As long as we don’t get a frost we’ll be average at best.” Let’s hope this tropical weather sticks around for a while. ❖

The Brandt farm finally received rain in the early morning of Aug. 21 though it was “just enough rain to settle the dust.”

Danny Brandt The Land spoke with Danny Brandt later that day, and he reported that the weather was much cooler — 86 F — than it was just the day before. You know that you’re in a hot streak when 86 feels cool.

Brandt just finished walking beet fields on the lookout for bolters, or beets that have prematurely gone to seed. He reported that one field had 20 bolters, and that the beets are “wilting and dry.” Brandt expects the crop will stay the same, or at best add a little more sugar. Crystal Sugar is estimating that around the Ada area there will be a 24- to 25-ton crop. Brandt isn’t as optimistic.

Beet pre-haul is scheduled for Sept.

11-13 and will be quite an adventure for Brandt as “Highway 9 is all torn up from Ada to Polk County 9.” His piling site is right on Highway 9 so he may have to take the beets to another receiving station.

Meanwhile, the beans are “starting to really suffer,” Brandt said. Leaves on the plants are already starting to turn due to the lack of moisture. He’s predicting that he’ll be in the field combining beans in just a few weeks, “a little earlier than usual.”

All the crops are feeling the effects of lack of rain. Corn, Brandt said, is “dry and starting to cannibalize on the stalk.” On the bright side, he finished combining wheat on Aug. 21 and it was a “better crop than we thought.”

Brandt reports that the “bins are filled up and everyone’s happy.”

While he knows that he’s not going to get the big crop like last year, his “glass half-full” personality shines through — he says the lack of rain is going to let him “get the crop off easily.”

Hefty: Technology to tackle production demands

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Is microbiology next on your farming agenda?

Farmer, agronomist and media personality Brian Hefty thinks that as we keep pushing for more production from each acre of land, ag technology will continue to ramp up — including in the biological arena.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

Speaking at the Case IH tent at Farmfest, the co-host of RFDTV’s “Ag PhD” program mentioned micro nutrients, sulfur and other elements are often now showing up as a factor in yield limits. “We’ve addressed the N, P and K issues for many years. Now as an agronomist I’m trying to figure out what is the limiting yield factor on this guy’s farm, even down to these last two acres,” Hefty said.

Rewind Hefty said 22-inch and 30-inch are now the norm but he added, “when we go to narrow rows we have other issues. The equipment costs more. It’s very heavy equipment so we have soil compaction. Plant populations go up and that leads to more disease problems as rows get narrower.

So that means breeding hybrids that work better in this environment. We’re seeing 40,000-, even 45,000-plant-per-acre research projects so breeders are expecting narrower rows going forward.”

At Farmfest, Hefty questioned the earlier U.S. Department of Down the road he sees biologiAgriculture projection of 155 cal products becoming a big part Dick Hagen bushel average yields and he of agriculture as we go forward. also doubted the accuracy of 97 “That’s why many companies Agronomist and radio/TV personality Brian Hefty puts his knowledge to work on his own farm. million acres of corn getting have invested tens of millions of planted this spring.
