OPINION

Commentary: Even in the great outdoors, it’s politics as usual Late in the afternoon of Oct. 11, on the eve of the opening of pheasant hunting seasons in Minnesota and several other states, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced that it was immediately re-opening federal Waterfowl Production Areas to outdoor activities.

It was welcome news to hunters and a refreshing illustration of how common sense sometimes prevails, even when up against the inexorable momentum of government bureaucracy.

In the unlikely event you were unaware, a partial government shutdown after Congress was unable to reach an agreement on the budget resulted in the closure of all kinds of federal entities from national monuments to national parks.

Aging World War II veterans who traveled on honor flights to Washington, D.C., were turned away from viewing the WWII Memorial. Even the massive and expansive Grand Canyon was declared by the federal government to be closed.

And the USFWS had announced that because of reduced staffing levels resulting from the shutdown, national wildlife refuges along with federally managed WPAs — small tracts of wildlife habitat found mainly in the Upper Midwest — would be closed to

public activity, as well.

In this, October when many fall hunting seasons are open, it couldn’t have come at a worst possible time.

Understand that if it wasn’t for hunters, the National Wildlife Refuge System that encompasses some 150 million acres likely would be far smaller or might not exist at all.

In Minnesota, there are about a half-million acres of federal wildlife lands, including some 200,000 acres of WPAs, scattered throughout the state, most of them open to public outdoor recreation.

Virtually all of it has been funded by hunters.

The lion’s share of the $15 that hunters pay annually for their federal duck stamp is expressly earmarked for the acquisition of wildlife habitat to become part of the national wildlife refuge system or WPAs. And every time a hunter buys a gun, ammo, binoculars or other outdoor gear, a federal excise tax is levied, once again targeted for the acquisition and management of such places.

California agriculture productive, but inefficient From the baking but breezy rest stop in the middle of California’s Mojave Desert, Interstate 15 disappears into the low mountains southwest toward Los Angeles and northeast toward Las Vegas. The desert is huge, brown and desolate. The highway is flat, gray and jammed with cars roaring both directions at 70 miles an hour.

It’s the second surprise in two days for the lovely Catherine and me on a week-long drive through California’s Central Valley, Sonoma wine country and San Francisco.

The first was Las Vegas, our starting point the day before. The former Sinatra-cool oasis is a spring break frat party today, booze-powered, loud and wobbly.

Now, a hoped-for restorative Sunday drive through a peaceful, quiet desert has become a Chicago bumper-fest. We hang a right at Barstow and head to Bakersfield across the high desert. No more Ferraris, no more LA-bound Las Vegas losers, no more white-knuckle driving.

A couple of hours later we’re the Joads in “The Grapes of Wrath” as we coast downhill from the endlessly brown desert to the green, cool Central Valley. The contrast could not be more stark and Bakersfield — bigger than either New Orleans or Pittsburgh — couldn’t be quieter. It’s a farm town on a Sunday afternoon.

Catherine consults the internet for dinner suggestions and uncovers a Basque boarding house supper, a holdover from when the legendary Spanish and French shepherds tended California’s massive sheep herds. The meal — soup, salad, salsa, beef stew, fried chicken, crème brulee — is hearty, heaping and good.

So is the seating. To encourage conversation, more than 40 of us sit on either side of one, long table.

After I tell my mealtime mates that Catherine and I are touring central California for the first time, site suggestions flow like iced tea. Some confirm the state’s unmatched natural beauty (yes, we will be going to Sequoia National Park tomorrow) while another hints of its natural fragility.

Me: How deep are the irrigation wells watering the orange groves and grapes we saw as we drove into Bakersfield?

Neighbor across the table: “Some are 12,000 feet deep.”

Me: Whoa, just how prehistoric is that prehistoric water?

Neighbor: “Doesn’t matter.”

Me: In 40 years it will matter to your grandchildren.

Neighbor: “Oh, we’ll be dead in 40 years so it won’t matter at all.”

The we’re-dead, they’re-dry comment hitches a ride with us as we tour Sequoia, spend a night near Fresno, then drive west across the vegetable-

packed, dusty Valley to Santa Cruz, Pebble Beach and Big Sur. It’s an indictment of America’s consumer culture — use everything now because tomorrow, well, tomorrow is somebody else’s problem.

But it’s something more, too.

By Alan Guebert generation or two — multicultural, multi-lingual, more crowded — then California’s agriculture may soon be America’s farming past.

resources — water, fuel, artificial fertilizer, chemicals — so America can eat strawberries in February.

A few days later, a young environmental engineer in Berkeley disagrees when I offer that thesis. “California’s agriculture is too efficient to ever change,” he says.

Now I disagree. You’re confusing efficiency with production, I say. California is highly productive, no argument. But it is inefficient and without water it’s neither.

A couple of days in the hilly Russian River wine country (the pinot, please), two touristy days and nights in San Francisco (wow, Cath, did you see those tattoos?) then it’s back to the airport and, soon enough, the flatland and straight-road reality of central Illinois.

But the memories linger. Are they real? Only if California is real, and it is.

For a while, anyway.

Plagued by ineffective governance WPA, from pg. 2A Private conservation organizations — Ducks Unlimited, Pheasants Forever, the Minnesota Deer Hunters Association, among them — have turned over hundreds of thousands of hard-earned dollars to government entities for the express purpose of land acquisition for public recreation.

Locally, for the last 26 years, through dint of hard work and dedicated membership, the Blue Earth County Chapter of Pheasants Inc., has managed to raise about $800,000, mostly used to purchase some 1,300 acres of land, some to become federal WPAs managed by the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service.

All of this land bought and paid for by hunters was declared off-limits because of the shutdown.

Claims by the USFW of staffing concerns rang hollow, to be sure.

After all, while staffing might be necessary in areas with some sort of infrastructure — refuge headquarters buildings, for instance — most WPA acres are comprised only of grasslands, wetlands and woods — just wild and wide-open spaces.

What’s more, even when the federal government is operating at full strength, encountering a badgewearing federal agent while hunting on federal lands, especially on WPAs, is an exceedingly rare event.

Hunters on federal lands are far more likely to

encounter state conservation officers enforcing both state and federal regulations, instead.

A cynic might suggest that the real reason for the wholesale shutdown of the federal lands was based on politics, pure and simple, to make a point by inflicting disruption and inconvenience on taxpayers.

One can argue the relative merits of both sides of the political issue but really, there’s plenty of blame to place on both sides for creating this mess in the first place.

While average citizens like to believe they have a say in what happens in the rarified air of the Capitol, ultimately, it’s power, money and influence within the D.C. elite calling the shots.

Undoubtedly, if the government shutdown continued, some hunters were going to thumb their noses at the federal government and venture into the WPAs to recreate, possibly risking tickets for trespassing.

In the narrowest view, we can be grateful that a measure of common sense prevailed and the areas, bought and paid for with hunters’ dollars, once again are acessible.

But viewing the big picture, it’s pretty clear that we continue to be plagued by a federal morass of ineffective governance and sorry statesmanship.

From the Fields: Harvest means waiting on weather The Brandts Ada, Minn.

The Johnsons Starbuck, Minn.

The Laubenthals Swea City, Iowa

The rain was coming down as The Land spoke to Scott Johnson on Oct. 15. With more than two inches of rain in the gauge, harvest was temporarily on hold. It would of “been nice to Scott Johnson have this (rain) this summer,” he said.

The soybean harvest is basically completed for Johnson. The crop turned out as good as he thought it would, given that “didn’t have the highest expectations.”

The corn harvest is in full swing, and he hopes that in “three weeks, we’ll be finished.” The corn that he harvested first was hit by hail during a summer storm that brought havoc to many of his fields. Yields are “not good as of yet,” Johnson said. Moisture content from fields with hail damage was at 19 to 22 percent.

“We’ve been doing a little fall tillage as we go along here,” Johnson said. He was hoping that the fields would be dry enough by Oct. 16 to get back in the field to harvest some corn. “As soon

as you start you can’t wait to get finished,” he said.

The end is in sight, Johnson said, as long as there’s “no white stuff on the ground.”

The Messners Northfield, Minn.

The 2013 soybean harvest is in the books for Chris Messner — he finished combining beans on Oct. 14.

When The Land spoke to him a day Chris Messner later, he said harvest “went OK.” Messner said beans averaged 46 to 47 bushels per acre; better than he anticipated. It ended up being an average crop for Messner. He’s relieved to be done with beans as they are more temperamental than corn in terms of having harvest conditions be close to perfect. There’s “a lot of potential problems,” he said. Those harvest problems, thankfully, never appeared this year for him.

Messner harvested 12 acres of corn to make sure the equipment was working properly, getting moisture readings

Charlie Laubenthal is half done with corn harvest and the crop is “better than expected.” Moisture is running at 16 percent with yields Charlie Laubenthal around 220 bushels per acre. When The Land spoke to Laubenthal on Oct. 15, he said that the harvest had been “trouble-free so far.”

He is “hoping by the end of the week we’ll take our beans out.” The weather for harvest has been “favorable.” If those conditions continue, Laubenthal said they’d finish the beans and then resume corn harvest by next week. He plans on being done by the end of the month. Once harvest is done, Lauebenthal will start fall tillage and applying fertilizer and anhydrous ammonia.

“I like this season, I always like fall,” he said. “I always like getting the crop out; it’s a good feeling once the crop is in the bin.”

Laubenthal knows his crops could’ve fared much worse than it ended up, given how things started in the spring. This year’s crops are “not a total crop failure by any means,” he said.

With the rocky start of this year’s planting season, and some great harvest conditions to wrap things up, Laubenthal’s crops have truly seen it all in 2013. ❖

The one and a half inches of rain that hit Danny Brandt’s farm “put a screeching halt to beet harvest,” Brandt said. He’s confident, however, that Danny Brandt it will only take one day for conditions to improve to resume.

The Land spoke to Brandt on Oct. 16 as he was giving the sugar beet trucks a checkup so they’d be ready to go the next day. As for the beet harvest, “sugar content isn’t as high as we’d hoped it to be,” he said.

A nice part of beet harvest for Brandt is the opening of Highway 9 to the beet piler. That part of Highway 9 is only open to beet trucks as road construction isn’t finished on that stretch yet. “That’s been nice,” Brandt said. “I told my crew to be very cautious on the work zone.”

His crew is seven guys — all veteran beet haulers for Brandt. He estimates that they should be completing beet harvest in the next four to five days, then moving on to corn.

Brandt has taken a sample of corn off the field and has seen moisture ranging from 16.5 to 25 percent and yields from zero to 175 bushels per acre. “Once we get done with beets we’ll hit the corn pretty hard,” Brandt said. He is “pretty happy with the corn thus far,” but expects “yields to be down quite a bit from last year.” The corn harvest should take him around 10 days to complete.

The end of harvest is in sight for Brandt. With weather cooperating for the most part, and the machinery doing the same, harvest has been uneventful. An uneventful harvest is music to any farmer’s ears.

of 20 to 25 percent. He figured this year’s corn crop will be average. He said he would like to begin taking the rest of the corn out on Oct. 16 if conditions are right. With the corn harvest taking around three weeks to complete, Messner hopes to be done by the first week of November. Then comes fall tillage.

This is the time of year he looks forward to — “As a farmer, fall is kind of the highlight of the year.”

Cover story: Targhee sheep deserve second look

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent Desire Routier of Lake Benton, Minn., is just getting started raising Targhee sheep and she is already enthusiastic about the breed.

Her enthusiasm was boosted even more from her attendance at the U.S. Targhee Sheep Association national show in Arlington, Wis., this past July. At the show her February ram lamb got second in his class, and her yearling ram sold for $400.

Routier is a senior this year at Elkton-Lake Benton High School. Her introduction to sheep came as a 4-H project when she got some Hampshires to show.

“I wanted another breed for variation,” Routier said, “and I read in a 4-H newsletter that the U.S. Targhee Sheep Association had a starter flock program.”

Her internet research told her Targhee is a hardy breed developed in the West for their wool but also good for meat, so she applied and was awarded a starter flock — three ewes contributed by breeders in South Dakota and Wyoming. Robert Padula of Montevideo, Minn., loaned her a ram, and she was on her way. Routier said the Targhees are not as demanding as the Hampshires.

“I’ve never really had any lambing problems,” she said. “They’re pretty easy to keep feed-wise, and they’re usually really good mothers.”

Padula was happy to support Routier’s enthusiasm with the loan of a ram to help start her flock, just as others had helped him when he was a young person starting with sheep. His years of experience

support what she is already finding out.

“I think the Targhee breed is the best kept secret in the U.S. sheep industry,” Padula wrote in an e-mail interview.

Padula, 49, worked a number of years for the American Sheep Industry Association in their national wool improvement program, and once back in Minnesota was a regional livestock specialist for the Extension Service for a while. He now raises both Targhee and Merino sheep.

Like Routier, 4-H was where he first saw Targhee

While in 4-H, Robert Padula wasn’t initially impressed with Targhees, but has since learned there’s more to sheep than showing and ribbons.

sheep and he wasn’t “overly impressed.” He was showing a more common white-faced breed and show ring appeal was important. But when he went to the University of Minnesota, there were some Targhee sheep, as well as professors who helped him realize there was more to sheep than showing and winning blue ribbons.

“That message was further instilled in me in graduate school in Montana, where I met and worked with many of the top Targhee sheep producers in the state,” he said.

Targhee a ‘dual-purpose’ breed with high-value wool

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

TARGHEE, from pg. 8A His family has raised sheep since 1972. After he got his masters degree in animal science in 1990, the family changed over to Targhee sheep. They could feed four ewes with the same feed resources as three bigger white-face sheep, the wool was worth at least two times as much and instead of a 135-percent lamb crop they got a 175-percent lamb crop.

“It was a matter of economics,” Padula said.

In addition to that, he liked how progressive the Targhee producers were.

“Many of the Targhee producers I worked with in Montana were involved in the National Sheep Improvement Program using performance data to evaluate their sheep,” he said. “I enrolled our sheep in NSIP in 1990 when my family bought our first Targhee sheep and have kept up with it ever since.”

While many have given up on wool, he still views wool as an important product and income generator in his sheep operation.

“I’ve been a wool advocate for 30 years,” Padula said.

But he doesn’t see Targhee strictly as a wool breed.

He calls them “a maternal dual-purpose breed that has higher-valued wool.”

“The Targhee breed has been selected for mothering ability over the years,” he said. “It is a breed that should be used as a ewe flock base, and then cross it with terminal sire lines for market lambs.”

Padula also considers Targhee rams as a good choice for other producers.

“After a while, commercial flocks hit a productivity

plateau and it would make sense for producers to think about using a Targhee ram on their own ewes to generate replacement females that have better quality and higher-value wool,” he said. “Fortunately, the Targhee breed has a history of being a performance-based sheep, not strictly ornamental for the show ring, and commercial producers can buy rams with performance data to help them make sound selection decisions.”

It is Association members who, like Padula, are convinced of the breed’s worth that help young people through the starter flock program.

Mardy Dallas-Rutledge, secretary of the U.S. Targhee Sheep Association, wrote in response to an e-mail inquiry that “the starter flock program was created five years ago in an effort to get youth more involved in agriculture and Targhees.”

She said that through the application process, every June a youth is selected to receive a starter flock of three purebred, registered Targhee ewes donated by Association members. They also receive “a credit at the National Show and Sale from the Association, plus cash donations, to go toward the purchase of another animal.” A mentor is assigned to help educate them.

Routier was one of the early beneficiaries of that program, and she is enjoying getting her Targhee flock going, and convinced of the value of Targhee sheep.

“I plan on keeping sheep for as long as I can,” she said. “I love them, they’re so much fun.”

Whether you raise sheep because you like them and make a little money in the process, as Routier currently does, or whether they are a serious farming enterprise, as they are for Padula, there are at least two Minnesotans who think the Targhee breed deserves your consideration.

Padula can be reached at rfp@mvtvwireless.com.

Deadline nears for American Sheep Industry Association awards Nov. 15 marks the deadline for the submission of nominations for the annual American Sheep Industry Association awards.

There are three award categories available for nomination.

The McClure Silver Ram Award is dedicated to volunteer commitment and service and is presented to a sheep producer who has made substantial contributions to the sheep industry and its organizations in his/her state, region or nation. The award may recognize a lifetime of achievement or may recognize a noteworthy, shorter-term commitment and service to the industry.

Nominees should be recognized as industry leaders with nominations spelling out the candidates’ contributions to the industry and its producers. Producers should be actively involved in sheep production and may or may not produce sheep as their sole income. However, their nominations should not be based in any part on a paid position serving the sheep industry.

The Camptender Award recognizes industry contributions from a professional in a position or field related to sheep production. Nominees should show a strong commitment and a significant contribution to the sheep industry, its organizations and its producers above and beyond what is called for in his/her professional capacity.

Nominees should be well-respected in their fields by their peers and by sheep producers. Nominees may be involved with the industry as teachers, con-

sultants, scientists, youth leaders, promoters, event managers, journalists or any other position directly related to the sheep industry, enabling the nominee to affect the sheep industry in a positive and long-lasting way.

Nominees may be recognized for lifetime service to the sheep industry or may be recognized for a shorter-term commitment that resulted in significant benefits for the

sheep industry.

The Shepherd’s Voice Award for Media recognizes outstanding year-long coverage of the sheep industry in either print or broadcast. The award excludes all publications and affiliates related solely to the sheep industry, allowing for recognition of outlets

with general coverage for excellence in covering sheep industry issues.

Nominations may be publications, networks or specific reporters exhibiting a strong commitment to balanced reporting and consistent coverage of the sheep industry locally, statewide and/or nationally.

Nominations must be postmarked by Nov. 15. (Past award recipients are not eligible.) Awards will be presented at the ASI Convention, Jan. 22-25, in Charleston, S.C. To receive a nomination application, call or e-mail ASI, (303) 771-3500; info@sheepusa.org.

Kikos on the climb as a hardy meat goat breed

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent Eldon Westhausen and Renee LeFever have old machinery sitting around, and their herd of 22 Kiko goats climb all over it. The bucks seem to want a better view, the does climb to eat leaves from tree branches, and the kids just have climbing in their blood.

This is their first crop of kids.

“We had five nannies that we bred last year, and every one of them had twins,” LeFever said.

“They’re very attentive mothers,” Westhausen said. “Really no work when they are kidding. We just go out and watch them, we don’t have anything to do.”

They also like Kiko because they are a hardy breed, low maintenance and highly resistant to worm infestation.

They’ve had the Kikos for only a year, but these are not the first goats the couple has had. They met almost 10 years ago when LeFever bought an acreage up the road to have a place for her horses and stopped to purchase guineas from Westhausen.

That business transaction led to friendship and marriage.

Westhausen owned a couple of Boer goats and at LeFever’s suggestion they expanded the herd.

Photos by Richard Siemers

LeFever had brought her bachelor’s degree in animal science and business management from the University of California at Davis to Minnesota to work for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. When she got a job in Veterinary Services that had her traveling, they sold the Boer goats.

Now that LeFever’s work at the Natural Resources and Conservation Services office in St. Paul allows more time at home, they decided to buy goats again to help keep down the weeds. They had heard of Kikos and after researching the breed, purchased three-quarter blood Kiko does in northern Iowa that were registered with the American Kiko Goat Association and a full-blooded buck from Red Wing, Minn., also registered with the AKGA. Then they went to a sale in Cape Girardeau, Mo. “We were a little surprised by how much they cost, but we bought one female, and she’s our best one,” LeFever said.

Now that they were getting serious about the Kiko breed, they attended a sale in Indiana, where they learned of another registry at the National Kiko Goat Registry.

All of their goats are registered with the AKGA. They said that according to that registry, as long as you use a registered Kiko buck on any kind of nanny, See KIKO, pg. 13A

Kiko popularity. In an article from the May 2004 issue posted on the internet, he points out that while both were introduced into the United States in the 1990s, the Boer was an established breed, was introduced in greater numbers, had international associations to offer support, and was promoted by a single organization, the American Boer Goat Association.

On the other hand, he writes, the Kiko was a relatively new breed, has no association outside of the United States to offer support, was introduced in smaller numbers primarily by speculators who have since left the field, and does not speak with a united voice. (In addition to the two associations with separate registries, the AKGA and the International Kiko Goat Association, there is a third private registry, the National Kiko Goat Registry.)

Once the speculators left the scene, Hankin said,

serious breeders have tried “to spread the word of the Kiko’s traits of hardiness, motherability, milk production, fast growth, strong hooves and — to a degree — parasite tolerance.”

It is those qualities that attract Westhausen and LeFever to the Kiko breed. They are trying to sell breeding stock, since they want to keep their herd small. They currently have one of their three bucks for sale.

Westhausen raised cattle on his diversified farm.

Now he has retired and most of the farm is in the Conservation Reserve Program. They keep pasture for horses, five bison and the goats, and they still raise the guineas that brought them together.

They have traveled to sales in Iowa, Missouri, Indiana and Oklahoma. Some of their does are from Texas. Their three bucks come from Indiana, Kansas, and Red Wing, Minn. It’s that last state — Minnesota — where they hope the breed will become more established in the future.

They find the Kiko breed to be a hardy, low-maintenance breed for this part of the country, “if it’s a meat goat you’re looking for,” Westhausen said.

KIKO, from pg. 12A you can register the half-breed and breed up. Their kids that were born in May from their three-quarters Kiko does are seven-eighths Kiko, so the kids from this latest generation will be designated as purebred Kiko goats.

While the breed itself is fairly expensive, a major cost of building their herd has been the travel expense to sales, since the breed is still fairly rare in this part of the country while it is quite popular in the southern tier of the country, Westhausen said.

According to the University of Oklahoma’s livestock breeds website, the Kiko was developed in New Zealand as a meat goat by crossing hardy feral does with Anglo-Nubian, Toggenburg and Saanen bucks.

After four generations of cross-breeding there was “dramatic improvement” in meat and milk production. The Kiko breed was established and closed to further cross-breeding in 1986. The first Kikos arrived in the United States in 1990.

The Boer is a more popular meat goat around here, and Westhausen thinks that is partly because it has a larger, meatier looking body. However, pound for pound, the Kiko produces as much or more meat, according to a seminar they attended.

“But it was a Kiko seminar,” he cautioned. “It’s the marketplace that will tell.”

Since both are good meat goats, there has to be more behind the popularity of the Boer and the relatively obscure Kiko than looks.

Terry Hankins, who has raised both Boer and Kiko goats but now concentrates on Kikos on his Egypt Creek Ranch in Mississippi, and who publishes Goat Rancher magazine, spoke to the issue of Boer versus

Quite a long walk for the first rooster of the season Conservation Reserve Program, I have grown accustomed to having plenty of opportunities to bag a bird or two every trip.

Now, as CRP acres once again are vanishing from the countryside, so, too, are the birds.

What’s more, as the 2013 season approached, I harbored real concerns over the aging spaniel’s ability to accompany me this fall.

While he remains in pretty good shape, the rigors of hunting can be tough for even young dogs, let alone a geriatric canine.

Unable to hunt during the opening weekend, we finally managed to get out mid-week.

The old dog perked up when he saw the shotgun, the electronic collar, me in my blaze orange. He bolted for the door, prancing in a tight circle.

We traveled just a few miles to a public hunting area in Nicollet County where well-worn paths from the parkSee SAMPSON, pg. 18A

dog would agree that above all, their hunting companions live to hunt.

And much as I love to hunt pheasants, pursuing them without a dog is not only a lot of work and largely ineffective, it also is an empty experience.

There is something magical about watching a hunting dog work a weed patch, nose to the ground as it sorts through the mysteries of such wild places.

And if it all comes together, with a flurry of wings, a shot, a bird found and returned to hand, that’s the icing on the cake.

I still look forward to the opening of the pheasant season, though perhaps not as eagerly as I once did.

As a young hunter, scarce pheasants were the rule rather than the exception. Tough hunting was expected.

We’d hunt long and hard, carried all day through the thickest cover on young, strong legs. So would our dogs.

I carried a gun, but on a heavily hunted public area, one still surrounded by plenty of unpicked cornfields, it was with realistic expectations.

The trip was less about finding birds than stretching our legs. Mainly, I wanted to see if the old dog was up to it.

We hunted around the edges, avoiding the thickest cover.

Like a veteran, Sampson quartered in front of me, occasionally pausing to determine my whereabouts.

After 90 minutes and flushing not a single bird, we were on the swing back to the now distant truck when I noticed that the headlands of a nearby cornfield had been picked where it abutted the public area.

It would be a long detour to check it out and would mean a much longer walk back to the truck.

But on a hunch that a few birds might have lingered along the sunbathed grassy edge to feed instead of heading into the unpicked corn, we worked our way to the spot.

We had hunted just a few yards when

the dog grew more animated, casting back and forth. A moment later, he disappeared into the grass.

I had barely taken a step in to follow him when a few yards away, in noisy flurry of wings beats, a rooster exploded from the grass, cackling loudly.

I swung on it and just as it was about to disappear over a stand of willows, touched off a shot. Feathers flew, the bird plummeted into the heavy cover.

The dog plunged in after it.

For two old hunters, it was a long, long walk back to the truck.

But with the unexpected gift of the young, fully plumed cock pheasant, taken from a heavily hunted public area no less, weighing nicely in the game bag, it was worth every step.

“Canine heart rates usually range from 80 to 150 beats per minute, but when rates drop below 80, pacemakers may be suggested to provide the users with ‘artificial cardiac pacing’ thereby raising and stabilizing their heart rates,” Saunders said.

The two-hour surgical procedure is often done in one of two ways: transvenous (through the neck) or epicardial (through the abdomen).

“The most common method used in veterinary medicine is transvenous,” Saunders said. “This procedure allows us to create about a three-inch incision in the neck area.”

Saunders said surgical patients are usually kept overnight for observation and brought in for a one-month checkup following the procedure and then evaluated every six months.

What would you do if your pet’s heart suddenly stopped working properly?

It’s always a good time for pet owners to educate themselves on their pet’s heart health.

The best place to start is your veterinarian.

If your pet has an irregular heartbeat or low heart rate it should be evaluated by your veterinarian and may indicate the need for a pacemaker.

“Pet owners are often amazed that their pets can live for years and feel much better than they have in a long time after receiving a pacemaker,” said Ashley Saunders, assistant professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences.

“Even younger working dogs that assist in border patrol and drug sniffing are able to perform their duties the same way a normal dog would after receiving a pacemaker.”

Dogs with low heart rates tend to move slower and are likely to tire more quickly, because blood is not being efficiently pumped to the rest of the body.

Riding the school bus a rite of passage for country kids There isn’t much that can invoke more fear and sadness in a new parent, than the school bus coming down the road to pick up their child on that first day of kindergarten. It’s a rite of passage for children and parents equally.

The bus stopping at the end of the driveway was a vision that my parents had for almost 30 years, with a whole brood of kids to get through school. It

was a vision that we saw here for only a dozen or so years by the time our kids started driving to school because of volleyball and wrestling practices.

Every morning without fail I would watch our kids cross the road toward the bright sun coming up in the eastern sky, and see them get on the bus. Whatever the spell was, I never grew tired of watching them get on the bus, wondering what the day would

hold for them. Even early on, it saddened me a little knowing that those days would someday come to an end. It would be yet another rite of passage.

When I was growing up and started out my education at the Catholic school in Kingsley, Iowa, we were guided to and from school each day by our TABLE TALK parish priests, who doubled as the bus drivers. The Catholic

By Karen Schwaller school bus had certain rules — when we got to the city limits, there was to be complete silence on the bus until we got inside the school building. We all just knew it, and when we neared town, the bus filled with noisy country children fell silent.

Imagine that today.

But the other rule we had to follow was at the end of the day when we all boarded the bus to go home again. Our school went to the eighth grade, so one of the “older kids” (eighth graders) on the bus had to start and lead the rosary, which the entire busload of children had to recite everyday. We learned that prayer young in those days, if only because of daily repetition. I hope it wasn’t because of the driving record of our bus drivers that we had to pray as we rode home each day.

If you were a Schroeder kid as my siblings and I were, you either longed to live in town so you didn’t have to do that, or you longed to get off of the bus first. But if you lived where we did — a gazillion miles from civilization in any direction — you were among the first ones on and the last ones off.

See TABLE, pg. 21A

Bus drivers have important task, not best conditions died and went to heaven. Looking back now, what a great prayer experience that was for us as growing children.

But in either scenario, the first person we saw was the bus driver. The bus driver is someone who is hugely taken for granted, I believe.

For the child, the bus driver is the first representative of the school they see in the morning, and the last representative of the school they see at the end of the day. Bus drivers live with a cut-up schedule all week, needing to be at the school by 3 in the afternoon, and often times, carving out evening and weekend time for the kids as well.

The bus driver carries out an important task, and not always under the best of circumstances when you think about roads during Midwest winters, or even because the nature of some kids

today. Bus drivers are responsible for cargo for which parents would give their very lives. For parents, it’s a matter of handing over the safety and wellbeing of their children to the person behind the steering wheel of the school bus. And often times, they don’t even know that person.

It’s huge.

They’re the disciplinarian on board, and sometimes the sounding board for those who would dare to befriend the man or woman behind the steering wheel. Bus drivers often know much about what goes on in the life of the

farm family, since toward the end of the route after school, they are the one “left” to talk to. Bus drivers do a lot of listening.

And maybe they’re glad for that, if it means they don’t have to pray the rosary with the kids everyday. I’m sure a bus driver thought up that rule.

Priest or not.

TABLE, from pg. 20A The Schroeder kids never got out of saying the rosary in its entirety every day.

You might know.

It was a change of pace when we started at the public school once our Catholic school closed after the 1971-72 school year. We didn’t know anyone in Remsen, so stepping on the school bus that first time was a little scary for me as a sixth grader, climbing up the steps and looking into a bus filled with strangers’ faces.

But the good thing was that we didn’t have to be silent as we neared town (or as we neared our middle school at the time — which was in the country), and we didn’t have to say the rosary aloud on the way home. We thought we’d all

grams focus on one of 10 varying priority issue areas. Priority is given to grants that promote agricultural education to new audiences.

Among the 10 priority issues there is a focus on programs that work with the local, regional, national and international community along with businesses on preparing the future work force for agricultural education and agriculture careers. There is also an emphasis on programs that encourage a healthy local, national and international economy through agricultural education and agricultural business endeavors.

Grant applications can be obtained online at www.mn.gov/maelc. Hard copies of the grant applications can be obtained by contacting MAELC offices at (612) 624-6256, or e-mailing Kari Schwab, MAELC Community Program assistant, at opdah012@umn.edu.

Care this fall can save your trees after drought Trees and other perennial plants are visibly stressed this fall primarily due to drought conditions from the past two or more years.

Tree stress symptoms include abundant seed production, leaf scorch, early fall colors, leaf drop, limb die back and yellowing or browning of leaves/needles. Trees and shrubs, especially conifer trees and trees and shrubs planted in the last three years should be watered generously until the soil freezes. Mulching newly planted trees will help reduce winter root damage.

Young maples and thin-barked trees may benefit from some kind of sunscald protection to prevent the bark from cracking this winter and spring. This protection is usually in the form of a plastic tube or tree wrap (remove in spring). These practices can also help in reducing winter animal damage.

Arguments aside, there’s just one authentic recipe for wings

THE LAND, OCTOBER 25, 2013

Certain foods and dishes bring out the passion in people — especially in the barbecue genre.

Different regions have specialties and their own way of doing things.

Whether it be about the wood, the rub or the sauce, full-blown arguments can erupt over which is best if you are talking with people who are passionate about their ‘que.

Another dish that creates hardheaded passion is Buffalo chicken

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

wings.

This dish was created at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, N.Y. The story goes that the owner of the bar wanted to fix a late-night snack for her son and his friends, so she used what she had on hand. Back then chicken wings were scraps, so she decided to deep fry them and create a sauce using hot sauce, butter and vinegar. She used blue cheese dressing for dip, and voila, Buffalo wings.

Many recipes out there claim to be the original. But, if anything else is added, it is not the original sauce.

Even the Anchor Bar has created many varieties and flavors.

If you want a taste of the original, give this simple recipe a try.

The basics For this recipe, I used thighs instead of wings.

Thighs were $1.19 per pound, while wings were $1.99 per pound. Also, I like the flavor of thighs, and they have more meat for less money. I used this recipe to make a family pack — or about 10 — chicken thighs.

I used indirect heat, which means only half the grill has coals under it. If you are using a gas grill, preheat with all flames, then turn off half of them.

For coals, I used a mixture of standard briquettes and lump wood charcoal.

Getting started Brush both sides of each thigh with olive oil. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. For more flavor, use your favorite rub. I used a rub with a paprika and brown sugar base that included granulated garlic, salt, onion powder and freshly cracked black pepper. Go online and find a basic rub recipe. (I keep a batch on hand in our kitchen.)

Once the thighs are seasoned, place them on the side of the grill where there is no heat directly under the meat. Close the lid and allow the thighs to grill/bake for 30 minutes or

so. If using charcoal, make sure all vents (top and bottom) are at least half-opened, so you don’t kill the coals with a lack of oxygen.

Buffalo sauce 3/4 cup hot sauce (Franks hot sauce is considered authentic) 3/4 cup real butter (I didn’t say this was health food.)

6 Tbs. white wine vinegar Melt the butter over medium heat. Add the hot sauce and vinegar, then stir until blended. If you’re having sinus issues, take a big whiff. You should be breathing better now.

Take some of the sauce outside (maybe one-third of it) and baste the thighs. Then place the thighs over the direct flame and baste the other side.

Stay with it as you will probably have flaming.

The chicken is pretty much cooked by this point. All you are doing is adding a little char and texture.

Bring in the thighs, discard the sauce that you used outside for basting, and pour the fresh sauce that you left inside over the thighs.

Serve with celery, carrots and your favorite blue cheese or ranch dressing.

It’s a flavorful, inexpensive meal. Give it a try.

2013-14 Minnesota Beef Ambassadors announced Minnesota Beef Council to the other team members.

During the competition, Colleen Zenk from the Minnesota Beef Council went over the Minnesota Beef Ambassador Team Handbook, expectations and beef materials that they could use when doing a classroom presentation, which is required on the state and national level.

Following the competition Sara Colombe, a National Collegiate Agriculture Ambassador with the National FFA Program, gave a short workshop to everyone, “Now What?” aimed toward the contestants to know now what they should do after the competition.

While preparing for the Minnesota Beef Ambassador competition, contestants learn about beef and the beef industry with support from their families, Minnesota CattleWomen, Minnesota Cattlemen and the Minnesota Beef Council. Over this next year the team members are asked to assist at consumer

events, prepare classroom presentations and write a media article in their local areas and complete the Master of Beef Advocacy program.

During their farewell speeches the 2012-13 team members — Kelly Morrison, Shelby Schiefelbein, Jenna White, John Morrison and Zack Klaers — expressed how grateful they were to have been on the team and encouraged everyone to take advantage of all the wonderful opportunities to network and advance their knowledge of the beef community. The 2012-13 Beef Ambassador Team learned numerous key messages that they used when talking to others about the misconceptions they had about the beef industry. Over the year, they were able to tell their beef story and what they did on their farms and ranches on a day-to-day basis to consumers across the state. They encouraged everyone to continue to advocate for the beef industry, as we have lots to be proud of and our voices need to be heard. ❖

Educate first, then sell to livestock show industry

At the recent Clay County Fair at Spencer, Iowa, Mark Blake was the guy with the Sullivan Show Trailer packed full of “stuff ” that producers needed for show competition of their livestock.

Blake talks with respect for what he’s selling, saying, “I’ve got show cattle of my own so I always try our new products on my own cattle. That’s how I stay on top of our products and that’s what makes me comfortable about giving advice.”

Called a “Stock Show University,” John Sullivan, the founder of Sullivan Supply, started these events three years ago. Blake explained, “we put on one-hour to two-hour long clinics at stock shows across the country. Presenters at these clinics are well-known fitters and producers, plus occasionally a university professor in animal science. Purpose is to help the youth learn how to better prepare themselves with their beef projects.”

Their “grad clinics” get participants even more involved. It’s a two-day, weekend event, 100-percent free. “We’ll get 10 to 20 animal science professors from various colleges to do the instructing on a host of different topics. We often get upwards of a couple hundred kids from that local area sitting in on these clinics which often involve working with live animals so the younger folks can really see

exactly the various things to do to properly prepare and show a critter,” Blake said.

Reflecting on his company, he said Sullivan Supply Co. specializes in the show livestock industry with the emphasis on cattle but also sheep, goats and hogs. “And because the Clay County Fair has become such an outstanding livestock event we can show and sell to a big number of livestock producers. Even though there’s lots of volatility in agriculture these days, the special industry we work in is fairly steady year by year. This show and this area of Iowa and southern Minnesota have good livestock numbers,” he said.

The Iowa State Fair is a bigger show for Sullivan Supply simply because there are considerably more cattle.

Blake said they also attend National Western at Denver, the North American International Livestock Exposition at Louisville, Ky. and state fairs in Ohio, Missouri, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin and South Dakota.

His display at the Clay County Fair included more than 200 different products. Leading the sales parade are their liquid and aerosol items such as special soaps with “vita hair”; conditioners for cattle hair; plus various clippers for special trimming and grooming prior to entry into the judging arena. Another big item is their show boxes — several different sizes so an individual producer has virtually everything needed to prep livestock. Show boxes are priced from $695 to $1,050.

Cattle dominate in sales items for Sullivan Supply; he did about $30,000 in business at the Clay County Fair.

But Sullivan Supply is a big hitter across the nation. He indicated the firm ships about 1,000 packages each day from their Dunlap headquarters.

Besides their seven show trailers, they have a country-wide dealer network and stores in Hillsboro, Texas, and Lodi, Calif.

promise of coverage regardless of a person’s medical history is especially reassuring for those who have been denied insurance up to now.”

In addition to the thousands of people who have visited the site and opened accounts, in the days since Oct. 1, MNsure’s Contact Center has been busy as well, receiving an average of 1,000 calls each day.

The toll-free number for the Contact Center is (855) 366-7873. Assistance is available in English, Spanish, Hmong and Somali, and representatives connect callers who need help in other languages to a Language Line offering 140 languages.

“We believed that October and early November would be quieter than these numbers imply, that many Minnesotans would come through MNsure to explore and educate themselves about what’s available without necessarily creating accounts,” ToddMalmlov said. “We are still a young organization, but we are encouraged by this terrific response, especially when you consider that each visitor and each account may represent interest on behalf of multiple people in a family or a small business of 50 employees or more.”

(equivalent to $400 per month). If your monthly premium is $500, then you will pay just $100/month out of pocket (with the rest paid by the government). At the end of the year when you file your tax return, you’ll put in your actual income. If your initial estimate was exactly right, then the tax return will show the $4,800 tax credit, and you’ll come out even.

If you are actually eligible for a larger credit, then you will receive the extra as part of your tax refund; if your actual premium tax credit is lower than you planned, then that will factor into your tax return, reducing your refund or creating an amount due.

If you discover partway through the year that your income will be different than expected, you can revise your initial application. Doing so will prevent unpleasant surprises at tax time (for those whose income goes up) or will reduce your monthly premium payments (for those whose income goes down).

If you are already covered through an employer plan or a public program such as Medicare or Tricare, you will probably not need to make any change. Those with employer-provided coverage are not eligible for premium tax credits in the Marketplace unless their

employer plan does not meet guidelines for adequate coverage or affordability. The marketplace is primarily designed for those who do not have health coverage through an employer plan. Those who shop the Marketplace for insurance will also be referred, if appropriate, to Medicaid or Hawk-I (for children) or the new Iowa Health and Wellness plan.

Some who shop in the Marketplace will discover that in addition to assistance with paying premiums, they also qualify for lower out-of-pocket costs (deductibles, co-pays, etc). This will apply to those with income at or below 250 percent of the poverty level (approximately $59,000 for a family of four).

The penalty for not carrying health insurance will be significant, but fortunately coverage should be affordable for nearly everyone. If your income is low enough that you are not required to file a tax return, you will be exempt from the penalty. You will also be exempt if your share of the premium, even with assistance, would be more than 8 percent of your income.

Changes in health insurance policy create both an opportunity and an obligation for people who are currently uninsured.

Obligation: those who are not insured in 2014 will be subject to a penalty (with just a few exceptions).

Opportunity: two key obstacles to health care coverage are removed.

• Insurers can no longer deny coverage or charge higher premiums to those with pre-existing health conditions.

• Most people without employer-provided health insurance will get help paying their health insurance premiums.

Premiums assistance will only be available if you purchase your insurance policy through the official Health Insurance Marketplace. As you sign up for insurance coverage, you will be asked about your expected income for 2014. Based on your income estimate and family size, you will learn how much premium assistance you’ll receive in the form of a tax credit.

Many Americans are eligible for these “premium tax credits.”

• single individuals with income up to $45,960 and • families of four up to $94,200 will qualify.

The assistance will be calculated on a sliding scale, so people at the higher end of the scale will receive a small amount of assistance, while those with lower incomes will receive more.

Imagine you are eligible for a $4,800 tax credit

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

W

hen Veteran’s Day was still celebrated as Armistice Day, no one would have celebrated more than Joseph Pohlen.

Pohlen left many family members behind when the 17-year-old immigrated to the United States from Germany in 1872. He settled near Hospers, Iowa, married a young woman named Margaret, and with her raised a family of eight children. One son, John, moved to a farm near Wabasso, Minn.

Joseph would visit his son, passing through the small town of Wanda, Minn. He liked the town and became friends with the priest at St. Mathias Catholic Church.

Joseph’s American dream became a nightmare when the United States entered World War I.

He was loyal to America, a country that had been very good to him, but he was torn by the thought that his sons might be called upon to fight against family members in his native land.

Joseph offered up a prayer — and a vow. If none of his sons were drafted, he would build a memorial in honor of the Virgin Mary as a sign of thanksgiving. Only one son, John, was drafted, but the Armistice was signed before he left to join the army.

Joseph kept his vow. With permission to build on the grounds of St. Mathias in Wanda, he had an eight-sided chapel erected, honoring his eight children.

A.C. Ochs Brick and Tile of Springfield, Minn., built the chapel at a cost of $2,000.

Inside is an altar and a few seats.

The walls are light blue and lift up to a

heavenly blue vaulted ceiling, forming a dome top.

Descendants meet there for a family reunion every couple of years, according to Donald Pohlen, a great-grandson of Joseph. The 1922 chapel has been used by St. Mathias as the starting point for liturgical processions into the church building, and it is a quiet place for individuals to meditate.

Pohlen Chapel, Wanda, Minn.

Among the many monuments that have been erected for the heroes and sacrifices of war, the Pohlen Chapel in Wanda is unique. It is more of a prayer for peace, the statement of a father’s gratitude to God for the safety of his children.

Thanks to Don and Shirley Pohlen for providing information for this story. ❖

Grain Outlook Prices post key reversal higher

Livestock Angles Nothing like flying blind

Grain Angles Importance of working capital

The following market analysis is for the week ending Oct. 18.

CORN — Prices eased higher this week after posting a key reversal higher on Monday in response to harvest delaying weekend rains and speculative short covering.

Short-term demand surfaced to fill October sales obligations and to satisfy processor needs, keeping basis levels firm to attract bushels to the market.

The trade survived without government reports until an agreement was finally reached in Washington, D.C. PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. The agreement reopened the St. Paul government by extending government funding through mid-January and borrowing authority until February. The problems aren’t solved, but we’ve bought more time to negotiate.

One of the first comments we heard from the U.S. Department of Agriculture was that the October crop report that was scheduled for Oct. 11 will not be released — at all. The next crop report will be the regularly scheduled report on Nov. 8.

Export sales for the week ending Sept. 26 were released on Oct. 18; sales as of Oct. 3 will be published Oct. 24; and the weeks ending Oct. 10, 17 and 24 will be lumped together on Oct. 31.

During the time we were without the USDA to verify export sales, rumors swirled that China had bought 300,000 metric tons of U.S. corn this week,

It has been an interesting experience to go through a government shutdown and be involved in the livestock industry. They say there is nothing like flying blind, and the industry just found out how unnerving that really is over that 16-day period.

During the government shutdown, the cattle market enjoyed stronger live prices as packers pushed bids higher following the futures market.

By the end of the week ending Oct. 18, cattle prices had reached $131 per hundredweight live and $204/cwt. dressed basis the Midwest. The futures market abruptly turned lower as the JOE TEALE Broker prices were touched under profit taking since the market had Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. moved into higher levels.

The problem was that there was a vacuum of buy orders and the futures dropped dramatically to close lower creating a reversal. Technically, this creates a bearish outlook for the cattle market. Whether this holds true over the next several weeks will be the question answered by the activity in both cash and futures markets.

Despite the fact that cattle numbers are down, the demand for beef is still in question as domestic movement has continued to be slow. Export business has been good; however competing countries have all expanded their herd sizes and pose a threat to cut into the U.S. exporting of beef.

The gap between the competitive meats such as chicken and pork has widened once again and with the disposable income in the United States continu-

We’ve had quite a year so far in the grain industry; both the weather and the markets have been challenging. Many of us are looking forward to closing out the 2013 books.

However, as we begin planning for 2014 we are faced with a new dilemma: profit margin deterioration like we haven’t seen in years.

Almost daily I get asked, “When will land values and rental rates start reflecting the lower commodity prices we are experiencing?” My short answer is, “When they have to.”

Obviously, in the long run, if DAREL NESS you take $250 to $350 an acre out AgStar Assistant VP of the revenue stream of a grain Financial Services producer you will eventually Rochester, Minn. experience a change in land rent and asset valuations, but there are other factors that are involved in changing this particular market.

In order to take a “big-picture approach” to land values and rental rates, we can’t just look at profit margins over time; the liquidity or cash position within the marketplace also plays a huge role.

The term often used to measure the liquidity of a business is “working capital.” Working capital is defined as current assets (cash or items that are normally converted to cash during the course of a business year) minus current liabilities (financial obligations that are due and payable within the next year).

In other words, it’s the owner equity in the current portion of your financial statement.

TEALE, from pg. 10B ing to shrink, it could further weaken the domestic demand for beef. Therefore, producers should monitor closely the events of the cattle market over the next several weeks and protect inventories as needed.

The hog market has been in a drift pattern for several weeks as prices have ever so slowly weakened under pressure for increasing live inventory.

The pork cutout has also slipped, reflecting the adequate supply of pork in the pipeline.

Demand for pork continues to be good as it is probably the best value of all the competitive meats. This demand for pork has also been reflected in good export business and as the pork cutout weakens and the U.S. dollar remains weak, the export business should remain firm.

However, as hog numbers are expected to continue to expand in the near future, this will likely keep the live hog prices on the defensive in the weeks ahead. Producers should keep an eye on market conditions and use strength to consider protecting inventories into the end of the year. ❖

in the markets. The stronger the working capital within an industry or marketplace, the longer we can experience poor or negative margins with little change to our cost structure on competitive assets such as land.

It is especially critical for operators to understand how their working capital position stacks up against the competition. Now that tax planning season is here, it’s important to analyze capital purchase decisions wisely.

Consider how they will impact your working capital if you pay cash or how they will impact your debt service if you finance. The decision to purchase capital may save you from paying taxes now, but does it put your operation at a competitive disadvantage if we experience poor margins for an extended time?

No one producer can force the market to be reasonable, we can only do our best to prepare our business to persevere through adversity and be positioned for viability when attractive profit margins return.

NESS, from pg. 10B Based on AgStar’s January 2013 benchmarking analysis of our grain producers, they have working capital positions that are considered strong. The average grain producer in our benchmarking analysis has a working capital position of around $500 per acre and a WC/VFP (working capital as a percent of value of farm production) ratio of 46 percent.

Considering that 15 percent WC/VFP is a normal underwriting target, the grain clients in our study have more than three times the target, which is strong.

Working capital is probably one of the best measures of an operation’s ability to weather a storm; it’s like gas in the tank. If I play this analogy out a bit, when you’re on a trip traveling down the highway in say, the middle of South Dakota, and your tank is full, even though you don’t know when you’ll come across the next gas station you probably don’t change your speed because you have plenty of gas and a history of finding gas when you need it.

However, when you’re down below a fourth of a tank and still don’t know when you’ll find gas, if you’re like me, that’s when I start getting nervous and change to a more conservative speed.

I believe this same human nature plays itself out

But a proposal by two University of Ohio dairy economists John Newton and Cam Thraen called “MILC and Honey,” is getting attention. They say it’s a “retooled dairy farm safety net that works for small and large-scale dairy farm managers, is fiscally responsible, does not mute market supply and demand signals, and does not require a market stabilization program.”

The plan allows dairy producers an option to choose annually between Milk Income Loss Contract program participation or a stand-alone margin insurance program as their elected safety net.

The University of Minnesota’s Marin Bozic said in Friday’s DairyLine that the proposal “gives dairy producers a genuine choice. ... Dairy producers that grow most of their feed can continue to use the MILC program to protect milk revenue and those that have feed risk exposure can choose the new margin insurance.”

The program is more conservative, Bozic said, and limits margin coverage to $6.50 per hundredweight, a level Bozic said “will work very well as a safety net against deep losses, but does not cover shallow losses as some risk is needed for dairy markets to function properly.”

“The Ohio proposal certainly reduces the need for the stabilization program,” Bozic said, “but I do not think it will end all debates.

ducers. Following an audit for the period covering April 29, 2006, to April 14, 2007, USDA’s Ag Marketing Service found some price reports included fixed forward pricing sales, which are explicitly prohibited. During the height of the problem, Nov. 11, 2006 to March 10, 2007, prices were understated by an average of 4.2 cents per pound.

It’s estimated a penny increase in the NFDM price raises producer milk prices about 9 cents/cwt. in the federal order blend or “uniform” price. AMS estimated the errors resulted in a loss of about $50 million to dairy producers.

■ The nation’s largest dairy cooperative will get even bigger. Dairylea Cooperative Inc.’s Board of Directors has voted to merge with Dairy Farmers of America. The proposal, presented to members at Dairylea’s annual meeting this week, reflects a desire to “position Dairylea for the future amid rapidly evolving market dynamics,” according to a joint press release. The proposed merger requires approval by Dairylea’s members, who will be asked to vote during a special meeting in February.

■ Cash Cheddar block closed Friday in Chicago at $1.8575/lb., up 5.75 cents on the week but 14.25 cents below a year ago when they plunged a dime, to $2/lb. The barrels finished at $1.7625, down a quarter-cent on the week, 15.5 cents below a year ago, and an atypical 9.5 cents below the blocks.

Eight cars of block and four of barrel traded hands on the week.

Meanwhile; the Milk Producers Council reports that the CDFA’s website indicates that an announcement should be coming on or before Oct. 22 on the results of the recent pricing hearing which considered a negotiated agreement between producer groups and cheese manufacturers for modifications to the Class 4b formula (milk sold to California’s cheese manufacturers).

The details, as spelled out by the Dairy Institute on behalf of the state’s cheese manufacturers, can be found at www.milkproducerscouncil.org/070813 dairyinstitute.pdf.

The financial impact of those agreed-upon modifications would be an increase of about 65 to 70 cents/cwt. in the Class 4b price, depending on the market conditions going forward, according to the MPC, but adds that even a 70-cent/cwt. adjustment only partially closes the gap between California’s Class 4b price and the comparable Federal Order Class III price.”

■ While we’re in the Golden State, a California federal judge has dismissed California Dairies Inc. from a class action lawsuit accusing it and affiliate DairyAmerica of low balling nonfat dry milk prices, but found DairyAmerica’s alleged misreporting affected producers payments for raw milk.

The DBU reports that the lawsuit (Carlin et al v.

DairyAmerica Inc. et al, 1:09-cv-00430) in the California Eastern District Court, was originally filed in March of 2009. Subsequent lawsuits filed by other dairy producers were consolidated into the single class action suit.

The lawsuit alleged false reporting of the NFDM prices used to calculate federal order minimum prices resulted in depressed milk prices to dairy pro-

MIELKE, from pg. 13B tinue to argue that we need incentives to accelerate margin recovery when margins are low. What I would say is that, if you had to drop the stabilization program for political reasons, the Ohio proposal is the most meaningful alternative to the Dairy Security Act I have seen to date.”

When asked if the proposal is a “Johnny come lately,” Bozic said, “No, the MILC was a Johnnycome-lately, and now it is the foundation of our dairy policy.” While Bozic is convinced the proposal has strong merit, he stopped short of endorsing it, concluding, “We should consider the Ohio proposal seriously.”

■ In a regional vein, the DBU reported that a December 2007 decision by the California Department of Food & Agriculture may have set in motion an economic catastrophe California dairy families continue to face.

Michael Marsh, CEO of Western United Dairymen, writing in last week’s WUD Weekly Update, charges that a “fateful decision by Ag Secretary A. G. Kawamura has cost the state’s dairy families dearly. ...

Nearly a quarter of the state’s dairy families lost their businesses, having been whipsawed by feed prices driven out of control by a federal ethanol mandate and a California milk price now disconnected from the market.”

“Since Kawamura’s decision, California dairy families have witnessed $940 million transferred from their checkbooks to California cheese makers,” Marsh charged. “If pricing trends remain relatively constant through November, that cumulative transfer from farmers to cheese plants will eclipse $1 billion.”

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Advantages we offer: • We unload directly from the trucks to a floater (Terra Gator) without stockpiling material.

This gives us a more uniform spread with no foliage to plug up the spreader.

• With direct loading there is no stockpile, no wasted lime or mess in your field.

• We use a floater (Terra Gator) to spread so we have less compaction.

• We are equipped to spread variable rate using GPS mapping.

• We service Minnesota and northern Iowa.

Why apply Aglime: • A soil ph level of 5.5 nitrogen efficiency is only 77 percent.

• A soil ph level of 6.0 nitrogen efficiency still is only 89 percent.

• At a soil ph level of 7.0 fertilizer efficiency is 100 percent.
