Neither defends tobacco because, as Wendell noted in a discussion of the Burley Association with his brother at a public forum last spring, “it’s indefensible.”

Both, however, vigorously defend the principles their father, John Sr., an

attorney and farmer, and other burley growers employed to start, then manage, the cooperative. It was an essential tool, they explain, used by hundreds of thousands of farmers and generations of farm families in five states to maintain competitive markets, successful farms and vibrant rural communities.

The principles harnessed by Berry Sr., my father, his Illinois’ neighbors

and many others continue to inspire cooperation today. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2,238 ag, ranching and fishery cooperatives and their 2.1 million members employed 129,000 full-time and 56,000 part-time employees while generating $235 billion in sales last year.

Moreover, notes the USDA in a recent issue of its Rural Cooperative magazine — online at www.goo.gl/uKjSRl — today’s farm cooperatives — like today’s farms — run the gamut in size.

“While 31 cooperatives recorded more than $1 billion in sales” in 2012, reports the magazine, “almost 34 percent of ag cooperatives (749) had less than $5 million in sales.”

But the four biggest ag co-ops, CHS Inc., Land O’Lakes Inc., Dairy Farmers of America and Growmark, are really big. Their combined 2012 sales, $76.7 billion, equaled one-third of all ag cooperative business last year.

Coincidentally, the number of coopera-

Youth receive Farmers Union Torchbearer Award Minnesota Farmers Union gave out its Torchbearer award at their 72nd annual state convention.

In order to be eligible to win the Torchbearer Award, the youth needed to be involved with the Farmers Union education program for at least four years.

Each individual also attended the Farmers Union All-States Leadership Camp, which is where individuals who have distinguished themselves as leaders meet with other Farmers Union youth from throughout the country in Bailey, Colo., at the National Farmers Union Education Center.

tive members nationwide, 2.1 million, nearly matches the number of farms nationwide, 2.2 million, even after membership and co-op numbers dropped in 2012. Overall membership sank by 200,000, or 7 percent, and co-op numbers fell (mostly through mergers) by 60.

But even as the number of traditional ag co-ops begins to trend wither, the number of non-traditional ag co-ops is beginning to bloom. In September, the USDA’s Rural Cooperative magazine carried short, informative stories about a new peony-selling co-op in Alaska, the founding of two community “food hub” co-ops in Wisconsin and the recent start-up of a “wellness and yoga” co-op in rural Montana.

These newcomers are learning what the old-timers well knew: working together works. Or, as some of the folks in Hamilton, Mont., now say, “Namaste, partner.”

THE LAND, DECEMBER 13, 2013 << www.TheLandOnline.com >> “Where Farm and Family Meet”

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent Jimmy and Jerry DeKam are carpenters and cabinet builders by trade, but these twin brothers, who just turned 60, have not left their boyhood fun behind. They have simply brought it to a new level.

“When we were 10 or 11 years old we made houses and barns or whatever out of peach crate wood,” Jimmy said.

While the results weren’t that impressive, he said, they were an indication that these farm boys had something other than farming in their blood. Today people speak highly of their carpentry and cabinet building, but what really fascinates is their hobby — building model buildings and Jerry DeKam machinery.

The DeKam brothers have assembled their work into an 8-foot by 18foot farm layout, with about 10 buildings and 60 pieces of machinery. Of the machinery, 11 pieces are tractors.

“Somebody gave us a model car kit for Christmas when we were 12 Jimmy DeKam or 13 years old, and that’s what started it,” Jerry said. The car kits led to tractor kits, but there weren’t many farm machinery kits available and they soon had assembled all they could buy.

So, when they were in their early 20s, they started making their own machinery. That’s when they brought their childhood interest to a new level.

“A model takes a lot of time,” Jerry said. “I go and get specs for wheelbase, height, whatever, and then I draw a plan, a full-scale plan.”

Everything they build is to a scale of 1/25th, to go with the Ertl model tractor kits they first made. A tractor can take anywhere from 110 to 150 hours to build, Jerry said. Jimmy has 200 hours in a little John Deere compact like the one they own, complete with loader and all the details.

“For a tractor, I start on the rear axle,” Jerry said, “then I make the transmission and the engine and all and keep stacking them that way. Then the hood and platform on top of that.”

Their models are built out of plastic and some wood.

“The plastic is flat sheets,” Jerry said. “We cut out the shapes by hand with a little hobby saw and glue them together. For tire rims we may use PVC pipe or plumbing caps.”

They still purchase a few kits, like truck tractor kits, and then have scratch-built a semi, a flat bed, and a milk tanker body for them to pull. They also purchased a combine kit.

“We modified it,” Jimmy said. “It came with just a grain table, so we cut that off so we can put a corn head on it.”

About four years ago Jimmy built a machine shed to 1/25th scale to house machinery. That was the beginning of their model farm, which now includes a house and typical farm buildings, including two silos

Farm toys aren’t for sale — and please don’t touch TOYS, from pg. 5A Jerry intends his next project to be an International 806 tractor, representative of the late 1960s when they were teenagers. Jimmy is thinking of making a goose-neck fifth-wheel travel trailer.

Their display has been set up at the annual show of the Minnesota Machinery Museum in Hanley Falls, at the New Ulm toy show, and this past summer for the 125th anniversary celebrations of their two closest towns, Ruthton and Holland. They have an invitation to the Pipestone County Fair.

It takes 90 minutes to unpack and set up the display, and an equal amount of time to take it down.

The biggest effort, however, is to keep reminding children (and some adults) that these are not toys to be played with.

They like to share what they’ve done with others, but they have done it simply because they enjoy making models. They make nothing for sale.

“It’s strictly a hobby,” Jerry said.

From the Fields: Wrapping up the 2013 season The Laubenthals Swea City, Iowa

On Nov. 10 harvest was finished for Scott Johnson. Like with much of the growing season, there “seemed to be more problems than usual” with the

The Messners Northfield, Minn.

Chris Messner wrapped up the 2013 harvest on Nov. 10, and said he was “happy to get this year done.” Speaking with The Land on Nov. 27, Chris Messner Messner said that harvest had gone smoothly. Corn ran better than expected which helped make fall “fairly nice.”

He believes the year could have gone a lot better, but could’ve also gone a lot worse: “I don’t think anyone went broke this year or made a ton of money.” The growing season started out rocky as the planting conditions were far from perfect. “A lot of things that went wrong when we planted the crop, turned out right.” Those wet conditions dried up and allowed the crop to have a fighting chance, although Messner said that if there hadn’t been a lack of rain later on, the crop would’ve faired better.

For next year he’s already hopeful that he’ll get the crop in the ground on time. He will be planting more beans next year due to the rotation cycle.

With current futures prices on corn versus soybeans, this looks like a change quite a few area farmers may also make, regardless of rotation.

Overall Messner is “pretty happy” with how the crop ended up, and realistically knows the crop “could have been a lot worse,” but is still looking forward to the year being done. Mother Nature always tends to put things into a balance and, with the challenges of 2013 behind, Messner and fellow area farmers should be able to look forward to a much more

corn harvest. The Land spoke with Johnson on Nov. 27 as he was en route to a family Thanksgiving in Chicago.

The corn remained wet this year, making Scott Johnson the Johnson farm’s dryer a vital machine during harvest. Drying made things take longer but he was happy to have it completed. The fall weather remained favorable enough to get fertilizer applied on the fields, and “tillage-wise, things look pretty good.”

For the year overall, “we actually ran into more dryness problems,” Johnson said. That’s rather ironic considering the nine inches of rain the farm received all at once, as well as the hail that damaged some of their fields.

Hail-damaged areas ended up fitting in with the rest of fields in terms of yields. “Whether it was hailed or not, we didn’t have top-end yields,” he said.

Reflecting on this 2013 growing season, Johnson said that “every year continues to be different,” and noted the eternal constant that “you always wish you sold everything at higher prices.”

Johnson said he won’t be making any radical changes on what he’ll plant next year. Typically he ends up around 50-50 corn and beans, and next year won’t be any different. He believes that, overall, producers will be planting fewer corn-on-corn acres in 2014.

Johnson is finished with field work for the year. “Got the combine washed and put away. ... (I’m) always happy it’s done, but also looking forward to next year.”

“I put the machinery away last Friday.”

For Charlie Laubenthal there’s nothing better than to have everything tucked away for the year and, Charlie Laubenthal boy, what a year it has been. When The Land spoke with Laubenthal on Nov. 26 he was reflecting on the completion of his corn harvest two weeks prior. “The yields were all over the board,” he said, with an 80-bushel spread from field to field. “Overall we had an allright crop,” he said.

He also found that his soybean crop was in the 40-bushel-per-acre range throughout his fields. Laubenthal believes that “this year was kind of a reality check of what farming could really be.” It has been great for the last couple of years but this year may be what any producer may experience in the future — noting that it “could be much worse.” In all his years of farming he believes that this was his most challenging year, thanks to Mother Nature.

Harvest provided “no real downtime,” allowing Laubenthal to get this crop in, fertilizer down and tillage done.

Next year he plans on being “heavier on soybeans than we ever have.”

This change is due to lower corn prices — it’s “pretty doom and gloom to me” — and too much corn-on-corn fields. He sees more of an opportunity with soybeans.

Laubenthal continues to stay busy, even with field work completed for the year. He’s currently selling seed, doing tax work, hauling grain and putting field records together.

Looking back at this year, Laubenthal views his glass half full — he’s “pretty happy; we have got a pretty good life out in the country.” It’s difficult to argue with that. Life on the farm may have its challenges, but the way of life is truly priceless. ❖

“Some fields were good some were ugly.” That sums up how corn harvest went for Danny Brandt. The Land spoke with Brandt on Danny Brandt Nov. 27 as the weather had turned from fall to winter in a hurry. With temperatures in the teens and a strong wind, he was glad that harvest was over.

Corn harvest went “a lot better than we thought it would,” Brandt said. The long lines at the elevator caused harvest to drag on as bin space on the farm was in short supply. The corn did get down to 17 to 18 percent moisture which he said is about normal — last year Brandt’s corn was at 13 to 14 percent, which was “unheard of.” The corn just didn’t dry out the way he hoped it would but, overall, the “corn harvest was really good.” The biggest factor in making it successful was the dry weather which helped the whole process go smoothly.

Brandt said that next year he will “cut back corn a little bit.” Other than that things in the field will be the same. With sugar beets always in the plan, the current crop rotation schedule he uses works well.

One big thing that most likely will change? “It might be time to say goodbye to the pigs,” Brandt said. Quality Assurance Practices need to be updated on their farm, but that can only be done by a veterinarian — Brandt has been unable to find a vet in the area who can sign off on it. “I’d like to keep raising pigs as a way to keep my kids involved,” he said, “but it’s also a relief.” A lot of hours a day are spent caring for the pigs, and that care and worry never stops.

Whatever changes come to the Brandt farm, he acknowledges “it was a good year, a really good year.” He freely admits that “we made some mistakes but learned from them. ... Every year is different; what didn’t work this year may work next year.” That is part of the fun in farming — continuing to try new things and see if they work.

Minnesota Farmers Union re-elects leaders; act on policy at convention Minnesota Farmers Union President Doug Peterson and Vice President Gary Wertish were re-elected to serve another two years of office during the MFU 72nd annual state convention Nov. 23-24.

“Minnesota Farmers Union is about bringing common-sense solutions to the table when ag policy is being discussed, and that is why our convention is so impor- Doug Peterson tant, because this is where our policy is debated and decided by our county-elected delegates,” Peterson said.

“Our grassroots way of doing things ensures everyone has a voice and that our policy is sound because it comes from the head Gary Wertish and hearts of our members.”

The MFU delegates passed special orders of business on passage of the farm bill; support for increased transportation funding; and support for repealing the equipment repair sales tax law.

Delegates went page-by-page in policy and debated issues from renewable energy to local foods.

During the convention, a team from AT&T offered free cell phone training to help farmers optimize use of their phones for their farming practices; Mario Vargas, senior outreach analyst with MNsure spoke about Minnesota’s health insurance exchange; and Minnesota Food Charter lead a discussion about ensuring all Minnesotans have healthy, affordable and safe food in the future.

Speakers included Gov. Mark Dayton; Sen. Amy Klobuchar; Rep. Rick Nolan; FFA President Mallory Pagel; Dave Frederickson, Department of Agriculture commissioner; Charlie Zelle, Department of Transportation commissioner; Myron Frans, Revenue commissioner; and Chandler Goule, National Farmers Union vice president of government relations.

Several awards were given out at the Nov. 23 banquet, including the Lifetime Achievement Award to Gary Gregerson of Badger; Superior Service to Farmers Union Award to Farmers Union Insurance Agent Steve Cattnach of Luverne; Outstanding Leadership Award to Brian Rohrenbach and Linda Larson of Rosemount; Outstanding Agricultural Reporting to Joe Gill of Sartell of KASM/Albany; and Excellence in Youth Education to Christa Williamson of Spicer. ❖

But this Congress put the brakes on specific dollars to specific university research studies; instead competitive grant funding is the process. So USDA research is being funded in much differently; some are saying we need to rely more on private research.”

She questions too much emphasis on private money. “Without that basic research that comes from Land Grant institutions, applied research from private industry can’t be done because they need the basic stuff first. The Land Grant research provides the checks and balances needed to keep a proper and responsible perspective on new research,” Thatcher said.

The diminishing “golden era” of U.S. agriculture may light some fuses prompting farmers to get much more active. “When you’ve got $7 corn, farmers tend to focus on

just not doable,” Parrish said.

However, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is making every effort to learn more about the waters of the United States. Currently underway is the sampling of 70,000 wells across the nation to determine just what is in these waters, and how old are the waters in some of these wells.

Headline writers in daily newspapers across America often misrepresent the real story about America’s water, especially as it relates to U.S. agriculture. The most pointed finger is at nitrate levels in rivers and streams with agriculture getting the bulk of the blame. Warren Formo, executive director of the Minnesota Agricultural Water Resource Center, suggested, “get your science from the pages of the Star Tribune and you’re in trouble.” Because water quality is a sitespecific issue, he said conversations need to be tailored to that precise location, adding that nitrates in water are not an aquifer issue but are a specific well issue.

“It’s important for the future of America and the world that we balance our public policy to provide a quality environment, affordable foods, waters socially available to all economic groups in this country,” Parrish said. ❖

The Environmental Protective Agency, for example, isn’t backing off one bit so we’re going to have to step up to the plate even more,” Thatcher said.

On separation of the food bill from the farm bill, she said, “if that happens it will be the last farm bill we will ever do. Of those 435 members in the House of Representatives only about 35 can legitimately claim an agricultural constituency so getting a farm bill without food aid just won’t happen.”

Thatcher speaks with farm authority.

She has a farm in Wayne County in southern Iowa, and she pays the bills for that operation; clearly seeing when there are profits and losses; and she keeps an eye on the weather. ❖

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Perhaps somewhat as a surprise, Don Parrish suggested that just maybe the policymakers in Washington have more patience than Minnesota farmers when it comes to initiating water quality standards.

“At the state and local levels, given the intensity of some of our water quality issues,” Parrish said, “you can get very aggressive in pushing for special legislation, or the elimination of regulations already in place. If that keeps happening, I want them to base their ambitions on the best science out there.”

Parrish is American Farm Bureau Federation senior director of regulatory relations in Washington D.C. and was a panel member at the water quality session of the recent Minnesota Farm Bureau annual meeting.

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent Eating locally may be a trendy thing to do right now — and for good reasons — but the original local eaters were of course the Native Americans, who always made the most of nature’s bounty.

“Original Local: Indigenous Foods, Stories and Recipes from the Upper Midwest” is a new compilation of recipes, cooking lore and stories from the Minnesota Historical Society that is going to be on my giving list this Christmas for those who were very, very good.

It’s a user-friendly guide to cooking traditional foods for the modern palate. Chapters on corn, wild rice, maple, berries, fish, wild game, herbs and teas, and wild vegetables are enlightening while the stories interspersed throughout will make you chuckle and sometimes cringe a little.

The author, Heid E. Erdrich, is a writer, poet, teacher and lecturer and the sister of Louise Erdrich, a popular fiction writer. This is one talented family in the writing department.

With 135 recipes and dozens of tales to explore, it’s a book to savor all winter long.

■ Recipes are included for four wild rice salads, one for each season. Here is the winter version, with cranberries, spinach and nuts.

Winter Manoomin (Wild Rice) Salad Serves 6 as a meal or 12 as a side 1 1/2 cups cooked manoomin (wild rice), cooled

1 cup minced celery 1 cup dried cranberries 1 1/2 cups baby spinach leaves 2 green onions, minced 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil 1 teaspoon celery seed 1 cup black walnuts, hickory nuts or pecans, toasted 2-3 generous grinds black pepper Malt vinegar Salt In a serving bowl, toss first nine ingredients (manoomin through pepper). Splash with malt vinegar and sprinkle with salt to taste.

■ Tender red potatoes with lots of butter and garlic could make a meal all by themselves. Move over pork chop, I’m going straight for the taters.

Red River Red Garlic-Smashed ‘Taters Serves 6 6-12 cloves unpeeled garlic 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil 6 medium Red River Red potatoes, skins on 1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, softened 1/4 cup half-and-half, at room temperature Black pepper Preheat oven to 375 F. In a small, oven-safe dish or ramekin, place unpeeled garlic in oil. Cover with aluminum foil and roast for 45 minutes, checking after

Ruby-red craisins add colorful twist to classic pie

COOKBOOK, from pg. 18A 30 minutes to make sure the skins are not burning; add oil if necessary. Remove dish from oven, let garlic cool, and remove and discard skins; reserve garlic and oil.

Place potatoes in a 3- to 4-quart stockpot. Cover with water, add salt, and bring to a boil over high heat.

Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 20 to 30 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender. Remove from heat, drain, and add butter, half-and-half, and garlic and oil. Smash to desired consistency with potato masher. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

■ Here is an incredible gravy thick with mushrooms and onions that would bless anybody’s table. Serve it over your Smashed ‘Taters if you please.

Mushroom Sage Gravy Makes 6 cups 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 medium yellow onions, minced 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed, or 1 sprig fresh 12 ounces mushrooms, fresh or rehydrated

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 3/4 teaspoon dried sage, or 2 leaves fresh 3 cups stock In a saucepan set over medium heat, warm oil and cook onions until lightly browned; then stir in rosemary and cook one minute. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they begin to release liquid and the onions are well browned. Add thyme and sage, stir, and let cook a minute. Add stock, stir and let simmer 10 minutes, then reduce heat to low. Transfer half of gravy to a blender and puree until completely smooth. Stir pureed gravy back into pan. If not thick enough, scoop out more mushrooms and onions and puree them as well. Make sure to leave some mushrooms whole.

■ Try this twist on the classic sour cream raisin pie that uses ruby-red craisins instead of boring old brown raisins. It’s simple and old-fashioned, but ohso-yummy.

Sour Cream and Craisin Pie Serves 8 1 cup craisins 1 cup hot water 1 cup sugar 1 tablespoon flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 large egg, beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup sour cream 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie shell Preheat oven to 400 F. In a small saucepan, cover the craisins with the hot water, and bring to a boil; set aside for 10 minutes while they plump, and then drain off the water. In a large mixing bowl, toss together the craisins, sugar, flour and salt. Stir in the egg, vanilla and sour cream. Pour mixture into pie shell. Bake 15 minutes; reduce heat to 350 F, and bake an additional 45 minutes. The top will brown lightly.

■ Here’s an easy way to make “fresh” salsa: Start with a base of bottled sauce and add fresh ingredients to make it shine. I whipped up a double batch of this salsa to bring to a party and the results were very satisfying. People were gobbling this like you wouldn’t believe. Four out of four “yums” from the Johnson clan, and we made a lot of other party-goers happy too.

Three Sisters Salsa Serves a crowd 3 ears very fresh sweet corn, kernels cut from cob, or 1 (15-ounce) can corn, drained (use white and yellow corn mixed, or a corn-and-pepper mixture) 1 medium zucchini, minced 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained 1 (16-ounce) jar salsa Chopped fresh cilantro, parsley, chives and/or green onion tops for garnish In a large bowl, combine corn, zucchini and black beans, mixing well. Add salsa to level of “soupiness” and spice you like. Mix again. Garnish with fresh herbs as you like.

watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.

This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.”

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this

In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored!

The Lord is with you.”

Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.”

“How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”

The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God.” “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it be to me as you have said.” Then the angel left her.

At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!”

And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me — holy is his name. His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble.

He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, even as he said to our fathers.”

Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.

thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

21 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, A who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.

But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise him, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he had been conceived. When the time of their purification according to the Law of Moses had been completed, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”), and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”

Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you now dismiss your servant in peace. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all people, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel.”

The child’s father and mother marveled at what was said about him. Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: “This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.”

There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher.

She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, and then was a widow until she was 84. She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying. Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.

When Joseph and Mary had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth. And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

The Christmas Story

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register.

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.

While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping

MIELKE, from pg. 23A Cheese stocks are shrinking for many plants as orders are being shipped out.

Jerry Dryer wrote in his Dec. 1 Dairy and Food Market Analyst newsletter that a big price spread is “very painful for barrel cheese manufacturers. ... barrels are too long much more often than too short,” and pointed out that the processed cheese business (home to much of the barrel cheese produced) is “on a slippery slope; has been for years.

Consumers and foodservice businesses are shifting to natural slices. The ingredient label on ‘processed’ cheese is just too scary; reminds folks of margarine.” I have more on that ahead.

■ A headline in the Nov. 25 issue of the Daily Dairy Report caught my attention. “Margarine’s Demise Good for Butter.” I recalled how a few years ago, butter was so maligned. The DDR’s Sara Dorland pointed out in Friday’s DairyLine that, while butter is heavy in saturated fats, it does not have the transfats that the Food and Drug Administration is currently looking at.

Transfats have been linked to an increased risk of coronary heart disease due to plaque buildup in the arteries, according to the FDA she said, and is the reason an outright ban is being considered.

One of the largest groups that would be affected by such a ban would be margarine, Dorland said, which leaves butter, soy butter and almond butter as alternatives, or vegetable fats if not hydrogenated. “It’s primarily the soy oils that are hydrogenated that raised the transfat concern,” she said.

Consumers, meanwhile, are coming back to butter, she said, and U.S. butter consumption has risen gradually the past decade. Per capita butter consumption reached 5.6 pounds in 2012, up 2.6 percent from 2011 and the highest level since 1975, according to USDA data.

The FDA started to increase consumer awareness of trans-fats in processed foods in 2001, Dorland said, and in 2005, U.S. butter consumption began to rise at a faster pace. The following year, the FDA trans-fat labeling requirements were mandated and manufacturers had to disclose the grams of trans-fats contained in a food product on its nutrition label.

People cooking at home prefer the taste of butter, as do chefs, said Dorland, who quickly added that the Food Network has “done a lot for butter.”

The DDR points out that U.S. per capita consumption of margarine in 2000 was 8.2 pounds, nearly double butter consumption at 4.6 pounds, according to the USDA’s Agricultural Fact Book. Ten years later, per capita margarine consumption had dropped 56 percent to 3.6 pounds, while butter consumption climbed 10.5 percent to 5 pounds. The USDA has not published margarine consumption since 2010 due to the limited number of companies reporting.

■ Cash butter saw a second week of decline, closing Friday at $1.6450, down a half-cent on the week but 5.5 See MIELKE, pg. 26A

Dairy Calf and Heifer Association calls for annual scholarship program applicants The Dairy Calf and Heifer Association is now accepting applications for its annual scholarship program. The goal of this long-standing scholarship program is to invest in the future of the dairy industry by offering scholastic support to outstanding agriculture-focused students.

“As an organization focused on the future, we feel very strongly about investing in our industry’s youth,” said Jack Banker, calf and heifer raiser and current DCHA president.

“Today’s youth are tomorrow’s leaders and we are pleased to offer a $1,000 scholarship opportunity to the DCHA membership this year to help shape our industry’s leaders.”

The annual DCHA scholarship is awarded to a student currently enrolled in agriculture-related field at an accredited college or university. Applicants must have completed at least one year of posthigh school education. A person may receive the scholarship only once, and must meet the following requirements for consideration.

To apply for the scholarship, applicants must ...

• Be a member of DCHA, or the son, daughter or legal dependent of a DCHA member

• Have completed at least one year of post-high school education • Be attending an accredited college or university • Be enrolled in a field of agriculture (e.g., food science, horticulture, animal/veterinary science, agricultural technical course, ag communications, etc.) or in a course of study with relevance to agriculture To download a copy of the application, log on to http://bit.ly/DCHAScholarship_2014.

Applications must be postmarked by Feb. 14, and can be e-mailed to info@calfandheifer.org or mailed to P.O. Box 1752, Madison, WI 53701.

The Dairy Calf and Heifer Association — www.calfandheifer.org — was founded in 1996 based on the mission to help dairy producers, calf managers and those professionally focused on the growth and management of dairy calves and heifers.

With a national membership of producers, allied industries and research leaders, DCHA seeks to provide the industry’s standards for profitability, performance and leadership, serving as a catalyst to help members improve the vitality and viability of their individual efforts and that of their business. ❖

Good demand

MIELKE, from pg. 24A cents above a year ago. Twenty-three cars traded hands on the week. AMS butter averaged $1.6045, up 6.3 cents.

The DMN reports that Western butter prices are mixed with a steady to weak undertone and butter production is limited by tight cream supplies.

Demand following the Thanksgiving holiday is good as retailers look to resupply and build stocks for year-end holidays. Export demand is also good and manufacturers must balance export orders with domestic demand, the DMN said. Butter stocks are tightening in response to the good demand.

Tax planning is more important than ever when you consider the myriad of changes that have taken place in the past year. For example, changes to ordinary and capital gains tax rates, addition of new taxes, phase-out of itemized deductions, phase-out of personal exemptions, and the expiration of accelerated depreciation in 2014. When you add the uncertainty of yields and commodity prices, it becomes almost impossible to plan without professional assistance. We have highlighted several key changes as well as some tax planning opportunities you may want to consider when you meet with your tax advisor for yearend planning.

Capital Gain Rate: Legislation made the 0% and 15% capital gains rates a permanent feature in the tax law. In addition, a third capital gain rate of 20% applies to capital gain income when your taxable income reaches the new 39.6% ordinary rate.

Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT): Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a new 3.8% tax on net investment income of higher income individuals became effective in 2013. The threshold begins at a modified AGI of $200,000 for single taxpayers and $250,000 if married filing joint. Net investment income includes interest, dividends, annuities, royalties, and rents, unless derived in the ordinary course of a business. Net investment income also includes income from a business in which the taxpayer does not materially participate.

Net investment income also includes capital gains and other net gains, except to the extent attributable to an active interest in a business. Recently the IRS released regulations concerning NIIT and self rental. Because the final regulations differ from the proposed, contact your tax advisor if you have self rental property.

Phase-out of personal exemptions: Beginning in 2013, the phase-out of personal exemptions for upper income filers is restored. The threshold at which the phase-out begins is: $300,000 for married filing a joint return and $250,000 for a single taxpayer Accelerated Depreciation: Section 179 expensing and Bonus Depreciation provides an opportunity for taxpayers to accelerate the depreciation of assets for income tax purposes.

Through December 31, 2013, taxpayers have 50% Bonus Depreciation on new assets, and a $500,000 Section 179 expensing limit on both new and used asset purchases from an unrelated party. The $500,000 Section 179 expense begins to phase out when asset purchases reach $2 million. For 2014, 50% Bonus Depreciation will go away and the Section 179 deduction is scheduled to revert to $25,000 unless Congress acts to change the law. Keep in mind that for state income tax purposes, the amount of the Bonus Depreciation or Section 179 expensing may not be fully deductible in year one, but rather spread out over a number of years. Consult with your tax advisor regarding your specific situation.

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

Phase-out of itemized deductions: Beginning in 2013, the phase-out of itemized deduction for high income filers is restored. The threshold at which the phase-out begins is: $300,000 for married filing a joint return and $250,000 for a single taxpayer.

The items that follow are possible tax planning opportunities to either move income or expenses from one year to the next in order to manage your tax liability. All of these options are subject to tests and rules established by the IRS. Consult with your tax advisor to see which opportunity(s) apply to your situation.

Deferred Crop Insurance Proceeds: This year’s crop insurance payment(s) may be a combination of yield loss and revenue protection. Subject to passing a number of IRS tests, you may be able to postpone reporting the income related to the yield loss portion. The revenue protection portion cannot be postponed unless you do not receive the payment until next year. This is an all or nothing election, you do not have the ability to pick and choose crops or fields to defer. Consult with your tax advisor to quantify and to see if you qualify to make the election.

Deferred Payment Contracts: Cash method farmers can sell their inventory under a deferred payment contract. To qualify the contract must be written and it must specify the amount of the sale and the date of the deferred payment. If your income is less then you expected you have the option to recognize the income from one or more of these contracts in the current year. It is recommended to enter into a series of smaller deferred payment contracts rather than large contracts.

Prepaid Expenses: Prepaid expenses are permitted as an income deduction if they will normally be consumed in a 12 month period and do not exceed 50% of the current year’s deductible expenses including depreciation. This may be an opportunity to shift expenses to offset higher commodity prices from the beginning of 2013.

Spousal Rental Arrangements: There may be an opportunity for a farmer to rent land from their non-farm spouse. This would allow a deduction to reduce self-employment income, even within the same joint return. Consult with your tax advisor on your specific situation.

Retirement Plan Funding: Most taxpayers do not take advantage of the multiple benefits retirement plans offers. If you are looking for ways to reduce taxable income and/or nearing retirement you may want to consider a Cash-Balance Retirement Plan. This can be a powerful estate/succession planning tool to increase liquidity and diversify risk in volatile times. Consult with your tax advisor to see if this in an option for you to explore.

Hartford Township, Todd County, Minn.

n 290th Street in Hartford Township, Todd County, Minn., a bridge spans Turtle Creek. It is small, and there are many small bridges throughout Todd County. Most, however vital, are inconspicuous and forgettable. But this bridge, on the township road separating sections 23 and 26, is neither.

The high cut stone bridge has three sections. Each contains a huge steel culvert known as a steel multiplate arch bridge.

“It was built by the Borgette Brothers in 1941,” Mike Stine said. “Jane Lunser told me that. You should call her.”

Mike and Sue Stine live on a hill just east of the bridge. They named their grass-fed beef company Stone Bridge Beef after the bridge.

“The Stines live in the original homestead,” Jane

(Drong) Lunser said. “First they built a log cabin on the west side of the creek. Then they built a wooden bridge. Then they built that house.”

Over the years Turtle Creek had a tendency to flood and carry the wooden bridges away. Jane remembers one flood.

“I was 4 or 5 years old,” she said. “My grandparents lived on the east side, in the home place. We lived on the west side. The bridge was gone but there were planks you could walk across. I remember looking down to see the water. I was scared. My mother was behind me and my father was in front.”

Flooding destroyed the stone bridge twice, according to Mike Stine. The first two bridges had only two sections. The 1941 bridge included a third culvert that made it one span longer. It has held since then but time has taken its toll.

“The bridge is structurally deficient,” Todd County Engineer Loren Fellbaum said. “It is also an historic structure. We have to take that into consideration as we make plans for what to do with that bridge.”

Fellbaum said that the stonework and the culverts themselves are historically significant. Culverts, he said, were a recent invention at the time.

Although the stone bridge was declared deficient before being declared historic by the state of Minnesota, Fellbaum said he will work closely with the state to come up with an appropriate plan. Hartford Township officials will also be involved.

“I named my business after that bridge so you can bet I will be involved too,” Mike Stine said.

Although the bridge is classified as structurally deficient it is still safe to use. ❖

Livestock Angles Grain Angles Market-ready Consider another cattle push prices market outcome

The livestock markets have been erratic of late. The cattle market, after having prices drop for several weeks, rebounded once again at the end of November.

The hog market continued to have prices slide and, like the cattle, began to rally in the last week of November.

The cattle market continues to battle supply versus demand.

Many prognosticators continue to believe that available supply of market-ready cattle will push prices higher. Along with that are the commodity funds which also go along with that idea of supply and that inflation will also supJOE TEALE port higher prices for cattle. The Broker caveat to that thinking is that Great Plains Commodity demand for beef has been shrinkAfton, Minn. ing for some time now.

From an economic standpoint, if one considers all the new taxes that the public will face on Jan. 1, and the fact that health costs will be considerably higher, disposable income will shrink further as it has over the past several years. This will likely cause the consumer to tighten their food budget and, with beef prices at extremely high levels, one would question if this will not hurt demand for beef even further.

In the short run the money is dictating the direction of the cattle market as the funds continue to approach the futures market from the long side. This could push prices higher temporarily; however in the big picture demand will dictate the direction as we move into the new year. Producers should remain in close touch with market conditions and protect

I have heard good arguments from both the bulls and bears with respect to the direction of the market to come in 2014.

I do not advise grain sales for a living and I have not made any predictions about the near-term direction of the market. But, if you are an ardent bear or staunch bull, I would like you to at least consider that there is a third possible market outcome that gets a lot less attention.

The bears in the market point to the U.S.’s supply and demand information for ending stocks of GLENN WACHTLER 1.887 billion bushels of corn, or a AgStar Assistant VP 14.6 percent ending stocks-to-use Financial Services ratio. There is more corn than we Baldwin, Wis. need in the world’s largest market. South America and the United States combine to produce a plentiful new crop of soybeans every six months and the world has plenty of supply in a timely manner.

Low prices are the cure for low prices. The corn market bulls can point to the excellent export numbers recently, the good profitability of ethanol and historically strong local basis levels. These are the green sprouts of recovery in the corn market as it starts to regain its momentum. Some believe we will need to import beans into the United States this year and that prices may increase due to these transportation issues. The ending stocks of 170 million bushels or a 5.2 percent stocks-to-use ratio is not burdensome by historical standards.

What if there is no clear winner between the bulls

The following market analysis is for the week ending Dec. 6.

CORN — March corn traded a wide $4.18 1/2 to $4.39 1/2 cent range this week as it posed a key reversal higher on the weekly chart.

This opens the door for a test of the $4.50 area as funds take profits on short positions prior to year end. In the week ending Dec. 6, funds cut their net short position by 16,000 contracts, according to the Commitment of Traders report. China’s rejection of 4.6 million bushels of nonapproved genetically-modified PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. U.S. corn likely has put a damper St. Paul on new sales to China for the time being. We have 118 million bushels still on the books with China. The rejected corn has found a home where the variety of GMO has been approved.

Ukrainian Agroconsult reported that Ukraine corn exports in November shattered the record at 2.1 million metric tons. Combining November exports from Ukraine, the United States and Brazil, November corn exports are estimated close to 10 mmt, up 33 percent from last year’s 7.5 mmt.

Good ethanol production margins are reflected in production that is up 9 percent from last year.

Weekly production was down to 913,000 barrels per day from 927,000 barrels per day the previous week.

Since the beginning of the crop year, the ethanol grind equates to 4.985 million bushels. This is better than the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 4.9 billion

‘Significant’ bean shipments to hit China’s shores NYSTROM, from pg. 1B bushel estimate. Stocks were 635 million gallons, up 4 million gallons from the previous week.

Weekly export sales were in the lower end of expectations at 23.4 million bushels for old crop and nothing for new crop. Sales commitments are 113 percent higher than last year when the USDA is forecasting exports to be up 81 percent over last year. We presently have 73.1 percent of the USDA’s last export projection already spoken for. This helps to reinforce ideas that the USDA needs to raise the export projection.

AgroConsult is estimating Brazil’s corn crop at 76.1 mmt compared to USDA’s 70 mmt forecast. In the USDA’s daily export sales reporting, Mexico bought 132.6 mmt of old crop U.S. corn and 33.15 mmt for new crop. U.S. dried distillers grains exports were the third highest ever in October at 935,000 mt, of which 567,000 mt were to China. China increased their corn production to 217.5 mmt compared to the last USDA estimate of 211 mmt.

In other news, Deutsche Bank announced this week they will significantly reduce its global commodity business due to regulatory changes. They will exit energy, agriculture, base metals and dry bulk proprietary trading.

OUTLOOK: The 2013-14 ending stocks trade estimate for the Dec. 10 crop report is 1.871 billion bushels, nearly unchanged from the 1.887 billion bushel November number. Production

numbers for the United States will not be changed on the Dec. 10 report, but any other categories are subject to changes. Foreign crop estimates are open to any change. The huge fund short in corn as month/year end approaches and ahead of fund rebalancing could mean 80,000 to 100,000 contracts of corn will need to be bought near the end of December/early January.

Profitable margins in ethanol and animal feeding, plus the need to meet export demand, should limit any downside to $4.10 through the end of the year, but near-term support is $4.18 1/2 per bushel.

Resistance may be found between $4.40 and $4.50 per bushel.

Short covering versus high ending stocks and slow farmer sales versus China canceling U.S. corn will be the balancing act the market has to contend with going into the holidays. March corn was up 9 3/4 cents at $4.34 1/4 as the week ended, and the December 2014 contract was 9 1/2 cents higher for the week at $4.63 3/4 per bushel.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans were in consolidation this week as the market weighed bigger South American crops, a small U.S. carryout, fund length was added to, and new export demand was noted. In addition, there were reports that China would not allow imported

WACHTLER, from pg. 1B and bears? It is possible that grain markets could trade in a “sideways” direction for an extended period of time. This would be different from the clear trends that we’ve become accustomed to. For an example of a sideways market, look at crude oil in the last three years. It has traded on either side of $90 per barrel in that time period without a clear trend.

Currently, it sits around that $90 mark again.

It is obviously difficult to tell if we are entering a sideways market until well after it’s started, but there are low-risk steps you can take if we do end up trading in this range. First, reward any market rally with grain sales and avoid panic selling at the market lows. Make frequent sales in smaller quantities as you test the market tops. Remember, a sideways

market is not an excuse to procrastinate on your marketing plan.

Next, avoid new positions that are obviously tilted toward the bull bias or the bear bias. If you make a mistake with a large bias to one side, it is likely to be a costly one and a mistake that may be repeated as the market turns again.

Finally, deploy cost-cutting measures to become more efficient. Like any other business, if profits are going to be harder to come by, you will need to be proactive in your strategy to beat the competition.

Trade chatter continues about possible soybean sales cancellations by China for nearby shipment, while at the same time rumors float about China being interested in U.S. beans for January-February shipment. Significant shipments of U.S. beans should begin to hit China’s shores this month.

Informa upped their crop estimate for Brazil from 86.7 mmt to 88 mmt and left Argentina’s estimate unchanged at 59.5 mmt. AgroConsult out of Brazil is pegging their bean crop at a whopping record 90.7 mmt versus the USDA’s 88 mmt figure.

Weekly export sales at 29.6 million bushels were in the middle of expectations, but the second lowest of the marketing year. Total sales are 32 percent higher than last year when the USDA is projecting export sales to increase 9.8 percent year on year. We currently have 95.3 percent of this year’s exports already committed with China accounting for 70 percent of those sales. New crop sales were a respectable 13.1 million bushels. This week China bought 111,000 mt of 2014-15 U.S. beans, unknown bought 189,000 mt of 2013-14 beans and 195,000 mt of 2014-15 beans.

The House Ways and Means chairman said he will not introduce tax overhaul changes this year, likely meaning the $1per-gallon bio-diesel tax credit will disappear. When this happened in 2012, we saw bio-diesel production fall.

OUTLOOK: Resistance in January soybeans is $13.40 to $13.50 per bushel; first support is $13.11, then $12.90 per bushel. January soybeans were down 11 cents for the week at $13.25 1/2 per bushel, while the November 2014 contract was up 17 1/4 cents at $11.64 1/4 per bushel. The big fund roll began Dec. 6 and will last for five trading days.

Funds are currently net long soybeans meaning they would be sellers of the January and buyers of March contracts.

Pork demand increasing TEALE, from pg. 1B inventories when opportunities arise.

The hog market has drifted lower over through the middle of November only to recover most of the loss in price into the end of the month. Seasonal tendencies normally indicate a low around the Thanksgiving holiday into the Christmas holiday. The futures market has anticipated this move and has moved from a negative basis to a positive basis in the latter part of November.

Pork cutouts have declined during the same period reflecting adequate supplies of pork. As the cutout price has declined however, the demand for

pork has increased indicating that pork is a good value in comparison to other meats. As this demand goes for pork, the live price for animals should begin to recover as well. The hog market seems to be trapped in a rather large trading range over the past several months.

It would appear that we are currently near the low of this range and with demand resurfacing, prices could move higher into the Christmas holidays. Producers should stay in touch with market conditions and use the premiums built into the market to protect inventories when given the opportunity. ❖

Changes ahead? Understanding the 2014 RFS proposal tion of the decision.

“Nearly all gasoline sold in the U.S. is now ‘E10,’ which is fuel up to 10 percent ethanol. Production of renewable fuels has been growing rapidly in recent years. At the same time, advances in vehicle fuel economy and other economic factors have pushed gasoline consumption far lower than what was expected when Congress passed the Renewable Fuel Standard in 2007. As a result, we are now at the ‘E10 blend wall,’ the point at which the ‘E10’ fuel pool is saturated with ethanol. If gasoline demand continues to decline, as currently forecast, continuing growth in the use of ethanol will require greater use of higher ethanol blends such as ‘E15’ and ‘E85.’”

“The 2014 proposal seeks input on what additional actions could be taken by the government and industry to help overcome current market challenges, and to minimize the need for adjustments in the statutory renewable fuel volume requirements in the future. Looking forward, the proposal clearly indicates that growth in capacity for ethanol consumption would continuously be reflected in the standards set beyond 2014.”

The EPA seems to be using the so-called “blend wall” to justify the proposed revisions in the RFS requirements for 2014. In simplistic terms, the ethanol “blend wall” is the point at which the required volume of ethanol for gasoline blending matches the expected production of ethanol. Back in 2007, when EISA was enacted total gasoline consumption in the United States was at about 142 billion gallons per year, and had increased every year for over a decade.

Since 2007, estimated annual U.S. gasoline consumption has been declining, and is now estimated to be approximately 132 billion gallons for 2014, which translates to a “blend wall” of 13.2 billion gallons of ethanol at a 10 percent blend. Back in 2007, EPA had estimated total U.S. gasoline consumption at about 150 billion gallons in 2014. The reduction in total U.S. gasoline consumption has been the result of the struggling U.S. economy, relatively high gasoline prices, and the introduction of more fuel-efficient vehicles.

If enacted in 2014, the EPA decision to adjust the by the ethanol industry and Corn Belt lawmakers — is RFS requirements for 2014, primarily based on the unlikely to gain mainstream acceptance.

Delegation pushes back on ethanol cuts

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Distributed by the Associated Press WASHINGTON D.C. — Members of Minnesota’s Congressional delegation are displeased that the Obama administration has proposed new rules that would maintain a limit on the use of corn ethanol in gasoline. That could slow the growth of ethanol producers in Minnesota, the nation’s fifth largest producer.

The widespread use of ethanol in gasoline springs from a federal law passed in 2007, when oil prices continued to tick upward, but before large scale domestic oil development in North Dakota or Pennsylvania had taken off.

In passing a law creating the Renewable Fuel Standard, Congress aimed to slow the pace of oil imports by mixing more domestically grown biofuels into the nation’s gasoline supply. But the law didn’t anticipate the recession, which cut back on how much Americans drive. Nor did it anticipate that people would start driving less and that cars would become more fuel efficient.

The Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed new rules, announced Nov. 15, would essentially keep the amount of ethanol blended into gas where it is at 10 percent. As a result of the rules, E-85 fuel — a blend of 85-percent ethanol and 15-percent gasoline pushed

A court battle versus EPA could delay implementation PROGRAMS, from pg. 3B so-called “blend-wall,” is likely to face a court challenge from ethanol and agriculture groups. They will likely question the criteria that EPA is allowed to use to make the adjustments in the RFS requirements. If there is a court battle against the EPA decision, it could possibly delay the implementation of the revised RFS requirements. A potential court decision regarding EPA’s authority for setting RFS requirements could also impact how these decisions are made in future years.

Assuming that U.S. gasoline consumption levels are going to remain fairly level in the coming years, about the only way to increase the amount of renewable fuel being used is to blend higher amounts beyond “E10” into the gasoline mixtures. Even though EPA has allowed the use of “E15” gasoline blends for automobiles that are 2001 and newer, the adoption of “E15” blends by states has been very slow. There has also been considerable backlash to adopting “E15” blends by oil companies, auto and equipment manufacturers, and others. The number of “flex-fuel” vehicles in the U.S., allowing up to “E85” fuel blends, has increased considerably in recent years; however, the availability of “E85” fuel blends at the retail gasoline pumps is very limited in many areas of the United States.

The proposed RFS revisions would also heavily impact the U.S. soybean-based biodiesel industry. EPA is proposing a required volume of 1.28 billion gallons of biomass-based diesel fuel, which is primarily soybean-based diesel. According to the National Biodiesel

Board, it is estimated that total production of soybean-based biodiesel will be over 1.7 billion gallons in 2014, wellabove the proposed EPA requirements. Minnesota has three soybean-based biodiesel plants in operation, producing approximately 60 million gallons per year.

Future role of biofuels in production agriculture and U.S. energy policy Regardless of what ethanol opponents are hoping for, U.S. production and use of corn-based ethanol, soybean-based biodiesel, and other forms of renewable energy are not likely disappear anytime soon. The corn-based ethanol industry is well-established, with many well-managed and profitable ethanol plants in operation. According to the Renewable Fuels Association, there are expected to be 210 ethanol production facilities operating in the United States in 2014, with a total production capacity exceeding 14.7 billion gallons. As long as ethanol production is profitable, and the sale of ethanol fuel is competitive, these plants will continue to operate at capacity, regardless of the RFS requirements. Current corn prices, and future corn prices for 2014 and beyond, make the prospects for profitability in ethanol production quite positive, depending on what happens with future gasoline prices. Several ethanol plants that closed temporarily in 2012, due to low profitability and very high corn prices resulting from the 2012 drought, have reopened in recent months. Most ethanol plants are currently operating at close to full capacity.

According to the latest USDA estimates, U.S. ethanol production is scheduled to utilize approximately 4.9 billion bushels of corn for the 2013-14 fiscal year, which represents about 35 percent of the estimated 2013 total U.S. corn production of 14 billion

bushels. If you factor in that nearly one-third of the corn volume used comes back as dried distillers grains for livestock feed, the actual net percentage of the U.S. corn crop utilized for ethanol production is probably closer to 25 percent of the total. Most analysts expect corn use for ethanol production to remain in the 4.55.0 billion bushel range in the next few years.

One question that often comes up is: What happens to the excess ethanol fuel that is produced beyond the RFS requirements or the so-called “blend-wall”? A couple of things could occur in the next few years to help stabilize ethanol usage. One would focus on increased ethanol use in the U.S. through more acceptance of “E15” gasoline blends, greater acceptability and engineering advancements of “flex-fuel” vehicles, as well as more availability of “E85” and other higher ethanol gasoline blends at retail gas pumps. The other likely occurrence from added U.S. ethanol production beyond domestic fuel needs will likely be increased ethanol exports to Canada, South America, and Asia, in the coming years.

The biggest loser in the scaling back of future RFS requirements may be the development and advancement of renewable fuels from cellulosic sources, biomass, and other new technologies. Many of these “next-generation” forms of renewable energy are still in the research and development stages, and may be years from commercial development.

Federal government policy and resources will likely dictate how fast the commercial development of these advanced biofuels occurs. Without some backing by the Federal government to assure a future market-share, it may be very difficult to get the needed investment dollars and technology expertise to make these concepts for “next-generation” biofuels become a reality.

Add ‘Silberlocke’ for something different in your yard “Silvery needles curved like perfect eyelashes on a Greek goddess” was the descriptive phrase under a picture of a Korean fir tree advertised in a conifer catalog.

After looking at this picture of a goddess-like tree and reading that rather sensuous blurb, I just had to have one to add to our collection of unusual conifers.

Abies koreana “Silberlocke” is the official moniker for this rare and beautiful fir tree. This exceptional

cultivar draws garden visitors to it immediately for a close look as well as a gentle touch to see if the cones and needles are actually real.

As with most conifers, firs are monoecious which means the male (pollen bearing) and female (seed bearing) cones are produced on the same tree. The male cones are smaller and show up primarily on the bottom branches. The large nearly five inch female

cones put on a show from spring through fall.

A slow grower, this conifer adds only four to five inches a year in height and is about five feet in diameter at full maturity.

This relatively new cultivar was first introduced in 1986 after being discovered in GerIN THE GARDEN many by well-known nurseryman, Gunter Horstmann.

By Sharon Quale The needles are curved, shaped like small paddles and grow in whorls along the branches. The silver and white color gives an impression of a lightly flocked evergreen. The cones start out as a bluish purple color, turn to green and finally end up as stunning brown accents.

Our first Silberlocke fir is now 8-years-old. It’s nearly six feet tall and has been completely troublefree. It has had no pest issues, no special pruning requirements and has survived our central Minnesota winters without extra protection. It likes a slightly acidic soil and moderate moisture.

My partner, Larry, became just as enamored with this Korean fir as I did and surprised me with another one last year. They are not easy to find so when he came upon a single one at an area nursery he snatched it up immediately. Sometimes they are listed as “Horstmann’s Silberlocke” (Abies koreana). Any readLarry Hansen ers who are interAbies koreana “Silberlocke” ested in learning where they are available for mail order purchase please call or email me and I can give you that information.

If you are looking for a unique specimen in your landscape, this small fir tree will fulfill that role. It is stunning and promises to radiate its beauty throughout each season.

Every day when I look at our two special fir trees I am amused thinking of the primping time they took applying all that white mascara to their perfectly curled Greek goddess eyelashes.
