Rural America needs to get into broadband access fight GUEBERT, from pg. 2 rises, populated areas that yield the greatest return on per-mile investment. And that’s not rural America.

Moreover, internet providers have fended off any FCC hint to make internet service a Title II carrier. That mean Big Broadband won’t be coming to the country anytime soon because, without that declaration, they don’t have to.

Rural residents pay a steep price for that forget-you business model.

For example, “more and more of local education is online, today,” Casaperalta said, “practice tests, school schedules, teacher contact, even daily lessons arrive through the internet. If

rural America continues to have poor or slow internet service it will continue to lose ground to everyone everywhere in education.”

The Title II question resurfaced in late-April when FCC Chairman Thomas Wheeler proposed rules that would allow broadband internet providers like Verizon and AT&T to charge content providers — such as internet movie streaming mogul Netflix — a higher price for faster delivery speeds.

The very idea of creating “fast lanes” and “slow lanes” through price infuriated most high-tech companies, including Netflix. Most see the internet as a

“neutral” business, information and entertainment platform where every user is equal to every other user regardless of how either uses it.

So why would the FCC chair open this fast lane/slow lane Pandora’s Box? Some say it’s in response to Big Broadband’s renewed lobbying against any new consideration of Title II status for the internet, an ever-present pressure.

Wheeler, market watchers say, may be attempting to finally address it by searching for a middle ground where ’net neutrality advocates like Google and “fast lane” backers like Verizon can co-exist under today’s light government regulation without splitting the ’net into big-money fast lanes and poorservice slow lanes.

Rural America needs to get into that

OPINION

fight, Casaperalta said.

“Everyone’s future will be tied to the internet,” she said. “Rural or urban, the internet is where you go to apply for jobs, attend class, buy plane tickets, talk with family, start a business, get the news.

“That makes it absolutely imperative that we get better broadband service — Title II-type service — to rural areas,” she continues, “before we even talk about fast lanes and slow lanes.”

In short, let’s at least fix the internet in rural America before we start dreaming up ways to break it.

Do all you can to protect the ones we love; and pray South and Central America, and even on the soil we call home? There are more in need. So many more!

In their book “Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide,” Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn write, “more girls were killed in the last 50 years — precisely because they were girls — than men killed in all the wars in the 20th century.”

Ann Voskamp writes, “does anyone see the girls, care about the girls, do whatever it takes to bring the girls back to hope?”

There are some. But more are needed. So many more!

But what do we do? There is no quick-fix to this worldwide epidemic of injustice.

What I know is what we experienced firsthand. When you really value and care for the one who is lost, you’ll do whatever it takes for as long it takes to bring her home. And we pray.

I don’t know his name, but I’m forever grateful. Together again, Mike asked, “Do you want to stay?”

“I want to go home,” I said. The girls did, too. We were never so happy to tuck them safely in bed, as we were that night.

Not all missing children’s reports end happily ever after. Not all missing children have someone who cares enough to hoist them to his shoulders and do whatever it takes to bring them safely home.

As I write there are 276 missing girls who were kidnapped from a boarding school in Nigeria. The kidnappers plans are to sell these dear girls for about $12 each to potential “husbands.”

Praise God, governments and people around the world have taken notice this time. #Bringbackourgirls is the rally cry. And as some nations join ours in the search, we pray.

But what about all the children — especially the girls — who go missing without anyone’s notice? What about the ones in other parts of Africa, Asia,

That description suits this member of the Ranunculacea botanical family. I would love to have more of the several hundred varieties available but some restraint must be shown in this hobby of gardening.

Larry and I grow eight cultivars of clematis and two are heirloom varieties that rank high on our list of favorites.

Some say Klem-uh-tiss and some say Clem-at-tis. Klem-uh-tiss is considered the correct pronunciation. I think it is never wise or necessary to correct anyone when talking about names of plants — we gardeners all know what plants we are describing and sometimes the names are not pronounced like they would sound phonetically.

If you are not sure of the pronunciation, say your version with conviction.

All but the most serious minded plant people will likely think you are saying the name correctly.

Our gardening season is off to a late start this spring and once again there are too many tasks to accomplish in too short of a time. I did manage to check and trim all the clematis vines.

Nothing pleases the eye as much as one of these beautiful climbers in full bloom, reaching 10 feet or more on a trellis, meandering over a fence or climbing an old stump.

Making great memories one wonderful recipe at a time Cookbook Corner

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent “Most memories are made when people are gathered together enjoying great food.”

It’s a simple sentence that sums up the essence of “Serve the Lord With Gladness,” a collection of 600 recipes from Holy Cross Lutheran Church of Prior Lake, Minn., in honor of their 25th anniversary this June. Serving God and serving food just seem to go together, strengthening faith and creating lifelong memories at the same time.

This cookbook contains too many recipes I wanted to share, so I had to pare them down to these few — a difficult choice indeed. It’s one of the best church cookbooks I’ve seen, with recipes that are decidedly not run-of-the-mill.

Apples in your cole slaw? Sure, why not! This part-fruit/part-veggie slaw is sweet and tangy, and it’ll be great this summer for all your grilling, camping and partying needs. You can make it in advance; just add the crushed peanuts at the last minute.

recipe calls for halibut not only because it’s delicious but because it’s a firm, meaty fish that won’t fall off the skewer.

Grilled Halibut Kabobs Submitted by Lori Siedelman 1/2 cup olive oil 1/4 cup orange juice 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 1 garlic clove, minced 1 tablespoon each fresh rosemary and fresh thyme, chopped 1/2 teaspoon salt 12 ounces halibut, skinned, cut into 2-inch cubes 2 small red potatoes 1 small yellow squash, cut into 1/2inch slices 2 Roma tomatoes, cut into thick chunks 6 white button mushrooms 1 green pepper, cut into chunks 2 lemons, cut into thick wedges Combine olive oil, orange juice, balsamic vinegar, garlic, rosemary, thyme and salt in glass measuring cup. Toss halibut with three-fourths of marinade.

Refrigerate and marinate for at least half hour and up to 1 hour. Set the reserved marinade aside. Parboil the potatoes in lightly salted water until almost tender. Drain and cut into 1/2inch slices. Toss with a little of the extra marinade and set aside. Toss squash, tomatoes, mushrooms and green pepper in a large bowl with the remaining marinade. Heat grill. Thread skewers, alternating the halibut, vegetables and lemon wedges. Reserve some lemon wedges for garnish. Grill over mediumhot heat for 4-5 minutes per side. Serve garnished with remaining lemon wedges. Serves 2-3.

Survey shows bees better; losses still significant A yearly survey of beekeepers, released May 15, shows fewer colony losses occurred in the United States over the winter of 2013-14 than in recent years, but beekeepers say losses remain higher than the level that they consider to be sustainable.

According to survey results, total losses of managed honey bee colonies from all causes were 23.2 percent nationwide. That number is above the 18.9 percent level of loss that bee-

keepers say is acceptable for their economic sustainability, but is a marked improvement over the 30.5 percent loss reported for the winter of 2012-13, and over the eight-year average loss of 29.6 percent.

More than three-fourths of the world’s flowering plants rely on pollinators, such as bees, to reproduce, meaning pollinators help produce one out of every three bites of food Americans eat.

“Pollinators, such as bees, birds and other insects are essential partners for farmers and ranchers and help produce much of our food supply. Healthy pollinator populations are critical to the continued economic well-being of agricultural producers,” said U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. “While we’re glad to see improvement this year, losses are still too high and there is still much more work to be done to stabilize bee populations.”

There is no way to tell why the bees did better this year, according to both Jeff Pettis and Dennis vanEngelsdorp.

Though the field conditions were “plenty wet when we started, we got some corn and sugar beets in,” Wilts said. With almost three-quarDennis Wilts ters of an inch of rain since May 7, he hasn’t been able to get back in the field.

The planting conditions so far this season “haven’t been ideal but still a little better than we thought it would be,” Wilts said. With more rain and cool temperatures expected for the next couple of days, “it just isn’t going to warm up.” When the weather does turn around, he estimates that “in 10 days we’d have it all done.”

Wilts said that they’ve had enough moisture; now they need sunshine and warm weather.

“In another week if we don’t get the wheat in we’ll have to change to another crop,” he said. “It’s getting time to get something done.” The weather must not have heard that spring should be here as Wilts reported that there was “frost on the roof on Saturday.” This lack of heat isn’t welcome as the ground needs to dry out and dry out fast.

Wilts hopes that things turn around and the crops will be in, the sun will be shining, and the frost will be a longforgotten word around his farm.

The Hoffmans New Ulm, Minn.

Rain is back and planting is on hold.

That about sums up the planting progress for Don Hoffman.

When The Land spoke Don Hoffman with Hoffman on May 12, he reported that since May 7 the farm had received three-and-a-half inches of rain. With more moisture on the way — “I think today and tomorrow it’s rain” — planting will have to wait.

Hoffman was last in the field on May 7 when they planted 50 acres of corn and 30 acres of beans. On that day the “ground conditions were excellent.”

With 250 acres of corn left, he hopes that he needs just “two good days” to get planting done.

Hoffman can’t be picky at this point in the season and will begin to plant around wet spots in the fields.

“I would’ve liked to have had all the corn in,” he said. With the amount of moisture that fell, planting delays were imminent. If Hoffman isn’t able to get the crop in another week to 10 days, “I’d be concerned.”

On the dairy side everything is going “very steady, very stable. The way we like it,” he said. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t work to be done while waiting to plant. Hoffman will be “getting

“It’s just cold and wet.” Not exactly perfect planting conditions for Jim Hagen, but he hopes that’s about to Jim Hagen change.

When The Land spoke with Hagen on May 14 he found the fields to still be wet from “another two inches of rain last weekend.” The corn planting finished last week for Hagen. He was pleased that he had “good conditions” for getting the corn in the ground.

While he’s waiting for the fields to dry up before starting to plant soybeans, Hagen has been busy hauling corn to the ethanol plant. He’s also working on getting the sprayer ready to go as he’ll be putting down preemergent herbicide for the soybeans.

Hagen estimates that he just “needs four good days” to get the beans in the ground. He’s not panicking yet about not having the beans in, but if they’re not in by the end of the month it will be a different story. The ground “just has to dry up,” he said.

“There’s no drought here,” said Hagen. “The tiles are all running.” He credits the drain tiles for the reason that he’s done with planting corn and feels the “tiling is proving its worth.”

According to Hagen, only half the corn is planted around the area.

Hagen doesn’t expect to be in the field for at least two more days. He is looking forward to getting back in the planter and utilizing his new “row shut-off system; that means no overlapping, hopefully,” Hagen said.

No planting overlaps, sunny skies and warm weather all sound like ingredients for some great soybean planting conditions. ❖

For Jared Thronson planting is finally underway.

The number of acres planted so far may not be impressive but at least it’s a Jared Thronson start to getting the crops in the ground. The Land spoke with Thronson May 13 as he was waiting out the rain and anxious to get back in the field. “Only got 35 acres planted,” he said. He was happy to report, however, that he had no planter issues and planting went well.

The forecast was for “sunny and warmer” temperatures, just what the fields need to be ready. “Hopefully by Friday or Saturday we can do some more planting,” Thronson said.

The delay in getting corn in the ground has made him change to some early corn varieties. He will be planting mostly 75- to 80-day corn. This is the first time Thronson has had to change to earlier varieties due to late planting.

“The 25th of May is the crop insurance deadline (for corn),” Thronson said. If the corn isn’t in the ground by then, Thronson will switch to either soybeans or wheat. With 280 acres of corn to plant, he believes that with “two good days” the corn should all be in. His plan is for this dad, Lloyd, to run the planter during the day and Thronson will take the nighttime shift — keeping the planter going 24 hours a day until the crops are all in.

“Hopefully all the crops will be seeded in two weeks,” Thronson said.

He believes that “shouldn’t be a problem if we can get going by this weekend.”

Some people have big plans for Friday and Saturday nights; Thronson's big weekend plans include a planter, a field and, most importantly, no rain.

the haybine out this weekend for the first crop of hay.”

He is also working on trimming trees along the field and getting some repair jobs finished on the farm.

“We need this moisture, the timing is terrible,” he said. Hoffman does point out that this moisture could become valuable to the crop this July and August.

SURVEY, from pg. 10 that beekeepers consider to be economically sustainable. This year, almost two-thirds of the beekeepers responding reported losses greater than the 18.9 percent threshold.

“Yearly fluctuations in the rate of losses like these only demonstrate how complicated the whole issue of honey bee heath has become, with factors such as viruses and other pathogens, parasites like varroa mites, problems of nutrition from lack of diversity in pollen sources, and even sub-lethal effects of pesticides combining to weaken and kill bee colonies,” Pettis said.

The winter losses survey covers the period from October 2013 through April. About 7,200 beekeepers responded to the voluntary survey.

A complete analysis of the bee survey data will be published later this year.

The summary of the analysis is at http://goo.gl/Ywzx4s.

The USDA also announced that it will hold a summit this fall aimed at addressing the nutrition and forage needs of pollinators. The summit will take place in Washington, D.C., Oct. 2021 and will be attended by a consortium of public, private and non-govern-

mental organizations. Attendees will discuss the most recent research related to pollinator loss and work to identify solutions.

Additionally, the USDA launched the People’s Garden Apiary bee cam at the USDA headquarters in Washington, D.C., as an additional effort to increase public awareness about the reduction of bee populations and to inform Americans about actions they can take to support the recovery of pollinator populations. The USDA “Bee Watch” website — www.usda.gov/beewatch — will broadcast honey bee hive activity live over the internet 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Created in 2010, the People’s Garden Apiary is home to two bee hives. The bees are Italian queens, the most common bee stock and the same used in many honey bee colonies throughout the United States.

In March, Vilsack created a Pollinator Working Group, under the leadership of Deputy Secretary Krysta Harden, to better coordinate efforts, leverage resources and increase focus on pollinator issues across USDA agencies.

SURVEY, from pg. 12 Agriculture, Farm Services Agency, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Economic Research Service, Forest Service, Agricultural Marketing Service, Risk Management Agency and Rural Development) meet regularly to coordinate and evaluate efforts as the USDA strives toward improving pollinator health and ensuring our pollinators continuing contributions to our nation’s environment and food security.

Earlier this year, the USDA made $3 million available to help agriculture producers in five states (North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan) provide floral forage habitats to benefit pollinating species on working lands. The Honey Bee Pollinator Effort is intended to encourage farmers and ranchers to grow alfalfa, clover and other flowering habitat for bees and other pollinators.

The president’s fiscal year 2015 budget proposal provides $71 million for pollinator health activities through multiple USDA agencies. This includes an increase of $40 million in combined mandatory and discretionary funds to advance efforts, in consultation with the Environmental Protection Agency and other federal partners, to respond to the decline in honey bee health and ensure their recovery.

This coordinated effort is focused on targeted research that addresses multifactorial stressors, their interaction, and identification and implementation of measures to improve and increase habitat available to pollinators on federal and private lands. In addition, this initiative will help prevent introductions of invasive bees, bee diseases and parasites; document the status of honey bee health factors associated with bee losses and honey bee production; and work with stakeholders on best management practices. A coordinated communication strategy, including outreach and education, will engage the public to help solve this important challenge. ❖

Help pollinators by planting native flowers

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Declining bee populations are a growing concern everywhere.

Why? Because honey bees are the unpaid transporters of pollen, that miraculous stuff that generates new growth of innumerable plant species.

Honey on your morning toast wouldn’t be a reality without the tenacious buzzing of literally millions of honey bees across our prairie landscape — especially if the right mixture of clovers and flowering gardens are part of that landscape.

But what if there simply aren’t enough of these food sources?

Improving the habitat for pollinator bees starts right outside your front porch. “When you plant flowers each spring, plant flowers that the bees will like,” suggested Carmelita Nelson, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Prairie Grassland coordinator.

She said that native bees are especially attracted to native flowers. Your local greenhouse, even your favorite hardware store, can be a good source of both seeds and suggestions.

A good source for bee-attractive flowers is the University of Minnesota’s Bee Lab — online at www.beelab.umn.edu — or the Minnesota DNR, at www.mndnr.gov.

As you might expect honey production varies from hive to hive and from year to year. Bee keepers talk in terms of 75 to 100 pounds of honey per hive, which takes a hive of 50,000 to 65,000 bees during peak summer. One queen bee is the boss and runs the show.

Perhaps surprising is the fact that Minnesota is

the home to more than 300 species of bees. “Right now bumble bees are a big concern,” Nelson said, indicating several species of bumble bees are now in that “endangered species” category.

Bumble bees are excellent pollinators — “the vibration of their wings helps them pollinate tomatoes and other vegetables even better than honey bees,” Nelson said.

Pollinators — wild insects and domesticated honey bees — help 70 percent of the world’s wild and cultivated flowering plants to reproduce. Every third bite of our food is a result, directory or indirectly, of an insect transporting pollen. Pollinators have been called a “keystone group that other organisms rely on.”

That keystone group is on the decline.

Aerial spraying of Minnesota crops is one of the likely culprits, Nelson said, but with honey bees a multitude of things are happening. Road ditch mowing of wild flowers and parasitic mites, for example, are becoming an issue.

Time will tell if 2013-14’s harsh winter was detrimental to the bee populace. Nelson said bees can

keep warm enough with their vibration, but some additional supplemental feeding was a good idea this winter.

She also said that organic farming is a great enhancement to the Minnesota bee population. “Organic farming not only benefits bees but also birds and other wildlife. I’ve talked to many organic farmers who tell me about all the birds singing in their yards.”

Other suggestions for rebuilding bee populations: Towns with unused park/recreation space can plant native prairie, with an emphasis on wild flowers in that space. Volunteer gardeners and Master Gardeners can work up soil in certain park/recreation areas and maintain butterfly, hummingbird and bee gardens.

Nesting habitat can be improved for all species of bees. Even a small planting of native prairie is a start. Some bees like to burrow into the ground for their nesting sites.

“If we leave a few areas bare and open, these bees might burrow down into the soil there,” said Jon Wogen, an Olivia, Minn.-area wildlife-outdoor writer. “Old stumps and brush and wood piles are good nesting places, as native bees may use cracks or worm holes in the wood for nesting burrows.”

Wogen said artificial nesting stations can be built for several species, especially orchard bees, which sometimes are called mason bees or leaf-cutting bees. Many of the native species of bees are friendly and non-aggressive; they won’t bother people unless they are grabbed or squeezed.

Education and research may be the key to keeping pollinators in good numbers so they can do their job and provide us with fruit and vegetable crops that feed and nourish us, Wogen said. ❖

Wildlife-outdoor writer Jon Wogen offers tips on how to build a “bee box.” (See his photos at right.)

Most native bees like a six-inch deep hole drilled into a log or four-by-six post. One can screw twoby-fours together. The holes should go all the way through as it will be mounted on a two-by-four post so it will close the back ends of the holes.

This facilitates cleanout, which should occur every two years after the spring bees have hatched out. The box can be removed from the two-by-four back, and the holes can be cleaned out.

In case you don’t want to miss any bees coming to lay eggs in the brooder house, you should have another house on hand to replace the one you are cleaning. A brush or drill can clean out the house.

This prevents disease of the young bees growing in the house.

It is best to use pine or fir, and not treated wood.

An example house made of two-by-fours can be a foot tall and have about 24 holes drilled. Each hole is five-sixteenths-inch in diameter. A roof can be put on the house to provide shade and to prevent rain from coming into the holes. The bees like the nest box to face the morning sun.

‘Bee whisperer’ works to reverse pollinator die-off GRANT, Minn. (AP) — In Jerry Linser’s apiary rehab clinic, he holds one of his clients between his fingers.

“I know where you’ve been,” murmurs Linser to a honeybee, as he gently lifts it to the bee screen around his face. “You have a honey-tummy full of stuff, I can see it.”

Linser was tending to one of the 150,000 residents of his Bee Ranch in Grant, checking to see how they survived the harsh winter. In an effort to reverse declines in bee populations, Linser is among the hundreds of Minnesotans who have jumped onto the beekeeping bandwagon.

DAHL FARM SUPPLY 507-826-3463 • 507-383-4931 “SPECIALS for on-hand Tanks”

One sign of the buzz around beekeeping is the success of the Stillwater Honey Bee Club, which has jumped from four members to 160 in 14 months.

The University of Minnesota Extension Service has seen an increase in beekeeping interest, and Bob Sitko, who teaches at Century College, said his beekeeping classes are “overflowing.” Their mission: saving mankind’s best friend in the insect world.

In the past, Linser said, about 10 to 15 percent of bee hives in the United States died over the winter.

In the past several years, the die-off has soared to 40 to 80 percent.

Why all the buzz kill?

Bee mites, pesticides and lack of food are three big reasons.

Sitko: Without bees, ‘no melons, no berries, no nuts’

NEED SEED?

By each hive, Linser squirted a few puffs of smoke to calm the bees. He noted with satisfaction that one experiment had worked — a hive he insulated last fall survived the winter with few casualties.

Speaking from inside the bee helmet, he explained that he is doing genetic engineering of his own. He picks out which bees to breed, looking for bees that are disease-free, docile, tough enough to survive winter and good honey producers.

At one hive, Linser suddenly stood up straight. “Oooh,” he said. He held up an index finger with a bee hanging

on, stinging him. The finger swelled up like a bratwurst.

Other people might have reacted by, say, putting on gloves. But not Linser.

His relationship with bees is not just about business. Even with a swollen finger, he continued to pick them up and feel them wiggling — almost affectionately. He wanted to encourage them, feed them, comfort them and talk to them.

He tenderly held up a small worker bee. “Why, just look at you,” he said proudly, “all covered with pollen.” ❖

club. Bees are responsible, he said, for about a third of the world’s food production.

Bees are so valuable that they have become immigrant farm workers.

Roughly half of the nation’s domesticated bees are annually trucked into California, where they are essential to fertilize the state’s almond crop.

Recently, Linser suited up for his chores, donning a white bee smock, complete with a built-in zip-up helmet.

He loaded some green grass into his smoker, which is like a coffee can with a bellows to fan the flames inside.

Carrying a bucket of tools, he entered the bee pen, about the size of a double garage. He passed through the electric fence, which keeps bears and other critters away.

With the steady monotone buzz of thousands of bees in his ears, he began to check each of the 19 hives. He already had ordered 18,000 replacement bees, about six pounds of insects, to make up for the bees lost over the winter. The box, sent from California, included tinier boxes, like thrones, for the queens.

THE LAND, MAY 23, 2014

WHISPERER, from pg. 18 The mites, tiny parasites that attack bees, are widespread.

“It’s the wood tick of honeybees,” Linser told the St. Paul Pioneer Press. (See http://bit.ly/1nH2U8a) Common pesticides are suspect, including neonicotinoids. These are among the most popular insecticides in the world, spread widely on commodity crops and available in garden centers.

Linser said the neonicotinoids appear in pollen, where bees can pick it up and take it back to their hives.

Bees’ food sources are disappearing.

Bees depend on nectar from flowers, but as suburbia sprawls into natural areas, another source of pollen vanishes.

A neatly mowed lawn? “That is like the Sahara Desert to a honeybee,” Linser said.

The so-called bee-pocalypse is alarming because bees are natural gardeners. As they fly from flower to flower, they transfer pollen — which fertilizes plants and allows them to reproduce.

“Without bees, there would be no melons, no berries, no nuts,” said Sitko, one of the founders of the Stillwater

dredweight, up a nickel from last month’s estimate, and compares to $17.99 in 2013 and $17.44 in 2012. The 2015 average is at $17.40.

The 2014 Class IV price was raised as higher prices for butter more than offset reduced prices for NDM. It’s predicted to average $21.45, up a dime from last month’s estimate, and compares to $19.05 in 2013 and $16.01 in 2012. Look for it to average $19.10 in 2015.

■ As it always does, the USDA’s monthly Livestock, Dairy and Poultry Outlook mirrored dairy projections contained in the WASDE report but the Outlook stated that “lower feed prices will improve the profit outlook for producers next year. Continued strong demand, both foreign and domestic, will moderate price declines in 2015.”

Feed prices are likely to remain moderate compared with recent years for the balance of 2013-14 and into 2014-15.

Corn prices for 2013-14 are raised in May from April and forecast at $4.50 to $4.80 per bushel; the price range was narrowed at the lower end, boosting the mid-point by 5 cents. Initial forecasts for the 2014-15 year call for corn prices to decline to $3.85 to $4.55/bu.

Current-year soybean meal price estimates are raised slightly from April to $485 per ton.

The initial 2014-15 soybean meal price forecast is much lower, at $355 to $395/ton. The forecast is based on higher soybean plantings and yields.

April’s Agricultural Prices report placed April’s preliminary price for alfalfa hay at $206/ton, above March’s $191 price but below the April 2013 price of $213/ton.

■ April’s Milk Production report shows the January-to-March U.S. milk production at 51.1 billion pounds, up 1 percent from the corresponding period last year.

Cow numbers are forecast at 9.255 million head for 2014, unchanged from April and only slightly higher than 2013 levels. Forecast cow numbers for 2015 are for 9.34 million head. Prices for dairy replacements are ahead of year-earlier prices, and first-quarter dairy cow slaughter trails last year.

This is a modest expansion in light of the strong profit signals to producers.

Current-year output per cow also remains unchanged in May from April at 22,280 pounds per cow. Output per cow is projected at 22,710 pounds in 2015. Continued month-over-month

declines in Midwestern milk output are moderated by higher milk output in the West. Increased output per cow reflects both improved producer returns and improved forage conditions, especially in the Midwest, after last year’s poor-quality harvest.

■ The California Department of Food and Agriculture announced its June Class I milk price at $25.10/cwt. for the north and $25.37 for the south. Both are down 78 cents from May but are $4.26 and $4.25, respectively, above June 2013. The six-month average now stands at $24.53 for the north, up from $19.85 at this time a year ago, $17.83 in 2012, and $19.42 in 2011. The southern average is $24.80, up from $20.13 a year ago, $18.10 in 2012, and $19.69 in 2011.

The June federal order Class I base price will be announced by the USDA on May 21.

■ Milk prices will be coming down as cash cheese saw a fourth week of decline. The Cheddar blocks dipped below $2 per pound this week for the first time since Dec. 19, 2013, and Jan. 6 on the barrels.

The blocks closed May 16 at $1.9975/lb., down 4.75 cents on the week and down 43.5 cents from its record peak in March, but still 22.75 cents above a year ago.

The barrels finished at $1.96, down 6 cents on the week, 41.75 cents below its record peak, and 20 cents above a year ago. Only one car of each traded hands on the week. The National Dairy Products Sales Report-surveyed U.S. average block price slipped to $2.2125/lb., down 3.4 cents, while the barrels averaged $2.2299, down 2.6 cents.

Cheese production across the United States is mixed, according to the USDA’s Dairy Market News. Some areas that are at or just past peak milk production are experiencing mostly steady production. Midwest cheese output is mostly steady as spring milk increases are slow to develop. Cheese production in the Northeast and Northwest is steady to increasing as milk volumes improve. Demand varies with some buyers in a “wait-and-see” approach, while others are increasing orders. Recent lower wholesale prices are helping to restimulate interest.

utilize the prevented planting option, so it is important for producers to make individualized decisions for each farm unit.

Crop producers will have different yield potential, crop expenses, land costs, etc., on various farm units, as well as differences in their level of crop insurance coverage and revenue guarantees on various farms. All

of these factors become important when evaluating prevented-planting crop insurance decisions. It is also important to note that the guaranteed payments for prevented planting with corn and soybeans are considerably less in 2014, as compared to 2013, due to lower levels of crop insurSee PROGRAMS, pg. 23

Prevented-planting payments are made on the base price.

A producer who files a prevented-planting insurance claim after the final planting date cannot plant another crop on those acres during the 25-day late-planting period, or they will lose their prevented-planting insurance payment. After the late-planting period (June 25 for corn and July 5 or 10 for soybeans), a producer has the following options on those acres.

• Leave the unplanted acres idle and control the weeds.

• Plant an approved cover crop on the prevented-planted acres, with no reduction in the prevented-planting insurance payment. The cover crop cannot be harvested in 2014. Haying and grazing of those acres is permitted after Nov. 1.

No two farmers’ scenarios are created equally same 72-hour deadline is in place during the 25-day late-planting period, if a producer decides to discontinue planting, and proceed with a prevented-planting claim.

• Minimum planting with enterprise units. A producer filing a prevented-planting claim, who originally signed up with enterprise units, must have planted the lower of 20 acres or 20 percent of the insured crop acres in at least two sections to be eligible for the lower insurance premiums with enterprise units.

Otherwise, the farm unit will still receive the appropriate preventedplanting payment on that farm unit, but will be charged the insurance premiums for the higher of basic or optional units. This would be the situation if no acres were planted.

• Impact of prevented-planting on future APH yields. Generally, prevented-planted acres will not impact the future APH yields, unless a second crop is planted, as only the planted acres are used to determine the crop year yield on a farm unit. If a second crop is planted, the prevented-

MARKETING

planted acres will be assigned a yield equal to 60 percent times the APH on the farm unit. If no insured crop acres are planted on a farm unit, that crop year will not be considered in the future APH calculation, unless a second crop was planted.

Bottom line Every producer’s situation is different when it comes to late- and preventedplanting situations; as a result, the best option will vary considerably from farmto-farm. In addition to differences in production practices and yield potential, there are differences in level of insurance coverage, optional or enterprise units, and other crop insurance provisions. The choice that a producer makes could result in a difference of thousands of dollars in the potential insurance coverage that is available.

That is why it is extremely critical for producers to consult with their crop insurance agent before finalizing late- and prevented-planting crop decisions.

(Example: 500 acres of corn; 400 acres planted with full crop insurance coverage; 100 acres (20 percent) prevented-planting paid at 60 percent of the original insurance guarantee per acre.)

Economics of the prevented-planting decision Every producer and every farm unit has a different situation as it relates to the economics of the prevented-planting crop insurance decision. Refer to the attached table showing a comparison of normal corn production and returns, a late-planting scenario with reduced yields and crop insurance coverage, and a scenario using prevented-planting coverage.

Again, the situation for producers on individual farm units may be different than this example.

Additional prevented planting crop insurance considerations • Prevented-planting notification.

Crop insurance policy holders are required to notify their insurance agent within 72 hours after the final planting date, if they plan to file a prevented-planting insurance claim. The

THE LAND, MAY 23, 2014

PROGRAMS, from pg. 23 prevented-planting payment is reduced to 35 percent of the original prevented planted payment.

(Example: $702.24/acre original guarantee x 0.60 = $421.34/acre x 0.35 = $147.47/acre adjusted prevent-plant payment) This may be an option for dairy and beef producers who are short of feed and hay supplies.

Minimum acreage for prevented planting To qualify for prevented-planting insurance coverage and payments, affected areas must be the lower of 20 acres or 20 percent of the total eligible insured acreage in a farm unit. Small areas of land do not qualify for prevented-planting coverage, which could be a factor on some smaller land tracts with optional unit insurance coverage.

Meeting the 20-percent threshold will likely be easier with enterprise units than with optional units. However, there is lot of variation from farm-tofarm, so producers need to check with their crop insurance agent.

Grain Outlook

Livestock Angles Cattle, hogs fickle as of late

Don’t neglect your bookkeeping

The following market analysis is for the week ending May 16.

CORN — The market rolled over this week as corn planting caught up to the average, forecasts improved, wheat prices crumbled and funds sold.

Demand is still supporting basis with producer selling non-existent, export sales holding firm and processing margins in the black. There were no surprises from Informa Economics updated acreage estimates this week. Planting progress caught up to the fiveyear average, coming in at 59 percent complete versus the 58 percent average. Minnesota was only 31 percent done compared to the 62 percent average; North Dakota PHYLLIS NYSTROM 3 percent versus 66 percent averCHS Hedging Inc. age; South Dakota 52 percent verSt. Paul sus 43 percent average, Iowa at the 70 percent average; Illinois 78 percent versus 53 percent average; Indiana 61 percent versus 45 percent average; Wisconsin 20 percent versus 41 percent average.

Corn emergence was 18 percent compared to 25 percent on average. The average planting pace for May 18 is 76 percent complete and the average estimate is from 73 to 77 percent complete.

Overall, without compelling news to support prices, the bears took control to press prices 24 cents lower for the week in the July contract to close at $4.83 1/2 per bushel. July corn sliced through first support of $4.97 1/2 and $4.90 late in the week, setting $4.80 1/4, then $4.68 1/4 as the next support.

The December contract suffered the same fate as old crop. It gapped lower from the opening bell to begin the week on improved weather. Resistance in the December contract is the overhead gap from $4.96 1/2 to $4.97 1/4 per bushel, but support doesn’t come into

It seems as if the livestock markets are fickle as of late. Both the cattle and hog cash prices have slumped recently, while the futures markets of both have either remained steady or have slightly improved. This indicates a lot of indecision on the future price of both cattle and hogs.

The cattle market has seen cash prices drift lower in recent days as packers seem to be more discrete in the accumulation of live inventory. The futures market, on the other hand, seems to be driven by the smaller supply of animals and the anticipation that prices must rise because of that situation.

The interesting dilemma is that JOE TEALE demand has been slowed due to Broker the higher prices at the retail Great Plains Commodity level and in the export market.

Afton, Minn.

This has caused the movement of beef to slow, which is offsetting the smaller supplies of cattle. It appears that each time the beef cutout reaches $235 per hundredweight or greater, demand for beef contracts — and as the cutout drops, the movement increases, but not to the levels seen a year ago. This appears to be the culprit causing the standoff in the cattle market which is holding prices in a distinct trading range.

On May 16, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released the Monthly Cattle on Feed report the results are as follows: On-feed, 99 percent; placements, 95 percent and marketed, 98 percent. The report was seen as neutral to slightly friendly since the placement number was less than expected. The key will still remain in the demand for beef since the demand side of the equation is more elastic than the supply side. Therefore, producers should stay aware of current market conditions and protect inventories when the opportunity arises.

Hog prices have again have slipped during the past

For some areas of Minnesota and Wisconsin, producers are once again finding it challenging to get seed in the ground.

Spring is the favorite time of year for most producers because it starts the cycle of growth and it brings hope of a bountiful crop. Usually, the production side of agriculture is where the producer gets his pleasure, but equally important is the business side of your farming operation, including your financial reporting, bookkeeping, records and all of the other day-to-day tasks involved in running a business.

Most producers perform record keeping for two reasons: to have the ANDY HUNEKE proper information to file income AgStar Director, Agbiz & taxes, and to have the records for Trade Credit/Leasing their lender so they can continue to Northfield, Minn. get loans. Those are definitely good reasons, but I challenge you to utilize those records to make your business better.

As producers grow their operations, they get bigger equipment, upgrade facilities and add necessary labor. As lenders, we see the biggest hurdle for a producer’s growth is upgrading their record keeping to fit the size of their operation. As the size of your credit package grows your lender will require more complete and accurate records.

To ensure your records are where they need to be, you can hire a firm to perform the record keeping duties or invest in software that allows you to create a robust financial reporting system. It’s also important that you use the accrual method of accounting, which provides an accurate reflection of the current period of income and expenses. The accrual method of accounting allows producers to understand their business’ level of profitability during the year and eliminates any impact of actions made to manage taxes. This will also show the impact of

Bean market trying to balance imports, demand

PEDv still a major factor Considering that the PEDv is still a major factor and that numbers are likely smaller because of the death loss due to the virus, a firming tone to prices into the summer months may not be out of the question. The only caveat to that scenario would be if demand once again decreases because of higher prices.

Because of the large premiums in the futures market, producers should take advantage of the wide basis and protect inventories when necessary. ❖

The average planting pace for beans as of May 18 is 38 percent. The trade is expecting planting to hit between 35 to 39 percent complete.

OUTLOOK: Funds cut their net length in soybeans this week, but prices were decidedly sideways and continued to trade within our forecasted range. The market is still trying to balance imports headed to the United States versus strong demand.

There is also increasing talk about how many bushels of early planted beans in the southern United States will be available to help bridge the gap between old and new crop. The effect could be earlierthan-usual harvest pressure on fall prices. For now, a case can still be made for firmer soy prices with the tight old crop balance sheet unresolved. However, the long-term picture suggests growing supplies for next year.

July soybeans were down 22 cents this week, closing at $14.65 per bushel.

The July support remains at $14.41 3/4 and resistance at $15.12 per bushel.

November soybeans settled at $12.21 1/2 per bushel, down 4 3/4 cents for the week. November beans are in a $12 to $12.50 per bushel range.

Records build confidence HUNEKE, from pg. 26 capital draws,income taxes and capital sales.

If your expense statement is done properly using the accrual method, your income and expense statement should match the gain or loss that would show on your annual balance sheet. This is what we call reconciling. If you can produce a reconciled profit-and-loss statement to the balance sheet, your lender will feel comfortable in your ability to understand your complete financial picture.

This also gives you confidence to know that your finances are in order and you can rely on them to make sound decisions for the operation.

If your operation continues to grow, you may be asked for reviewed or audited financial reports. So, you might be wondering, what does that really mean? Many people think that their tax returns are reviewed by their accountant and that should be considered reviewed, but that is not the case.

A reviewed financial report is done by a tax firm and is considered independent. They must understand the entity they are reviewing, review the account-

ing practices you are using to prepare your financials and they also perform analytics on the operation. If you grow to the size where an audit is required, all of the items done while reviewing your financials is done as well as observing your inventories (check your bins to verify bushels), gaining an understanding of your internal controls and an assessment of your fraud risks.

An audit gives everyone the confidence in the information as it is verified.

So, are your records keeping pace with your production? If your future plans include growth and you want to be prepared so investing in your financial records is important. Make the investment now and utilize the information to make good business decisions and allow your lender to have confidence in the information provided, so they can grow with you.

TEALE, from pg. 26 few weeks, reflecting the lack of demand for pork at the higher prices. The porcine epidemic diarrhea virus is still a main factor in the trade’s mind and has dominated the futures market while the cash market is more in tune with the immediate market conditions. Hog numbers have be more than adequate to meet the packers’ kill needs and with weights high the total pork production has remained enough to meet current demand.

monthly crush needs to average just 109.4 million bushels for the balance of the crop year to not exceed the USDA’s 1.695 billion bushel crush projection. This would be the smallest crush for the Mayto-August time period in 10 years. This keeps pressure on the market to either reduce crush margins to discourage crushing or keep the import pace strong enough to support a strong crush number.

Informa Economics’ new soybean acreage forecast is 82.073 million acres, up 580,000 acres from the March USDA 81.493 million acres estimate and compared with 76.5 million acres last year.

On the May USDA crop report, 81.5 million planted acres was used on the first 2014-15 balance sheet of the season.

Minnesota is estimated to plant 7.35 million acres of beans this year, down 50,000 acres from the USDA March number and up 650,000 acres from last year.

Soybean planting as of May 11 was 20 percent complete compared to 21 percent on average. By state versus the fiveyear average: Minnesota 4 percent versus 23 percent average; North Dakota zero versus 10 percent; South Dakota 14 percent versus 9 percent; Wisconsin 4 percent versus 10 percent; Iowa 20 percent done versus 25 percent average; Illinois 26 percent versus 16 percent; Indiana 23 percent versus 22 percent.

caught without a plan in place. If El Nino does develop, it usually means above-average trend-line U.S. yields.

Corn struggled this past week, sending us lower and setting the tone for the market leading up to the June 30 Grain Stocks and Planted Acreage reports from the USDA. Fund liquidation was apparent and there is still more to do. Unless weather becomes a threat to the crop, it will be difficult to sustain bounces.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans consolidated lower this week on essentially the same factors that dictated the direction in corn.

Domestic demand for soybeans is firm and basis levels were stronger all week.

Grower focus is on the planter, and what beans they have left to sell are in tight hands. While bean imports are on their way to U.S. ports, export sales continue to outpace what we need. Old crop export sales this past week were 2.7 million bushels, bringing total commitments to 1.643 billion bushels.

This remains above the USDA export estimate of 1.6 billion bushels. We need to average a negative 200,000 bushels of export sales for the remainder of the crop year, and this appears unlikely. New crop sales of 11.9 million bushels this week brings 2014-15 commitments to 298.2 million bushels compared to 325.6 million on the books last year at this time.

China sold 92 percent of the 300,000 mt of state-owned reserve 2010 soybeans they offered to domestic users this week. Prices averaged higher than the minimum price suggesting demand may be picking up in that region.

They had such success that they plan to auction another 300,000 mt of reserve beans on May 20.

The April National Oilseed Processors Association crush figure of 132.67 million bushels was right in line with expectations and the highest April crush in five years. Soybean crush is up 3 percent so far this year versus last year. The

NYSTROM, from pg. 26 play until $4.71 to $4.60 per bushel.

December corn closed at $4.81 per bushel, down 17 3/4 cents for the week.

Weekly export sales were within expectations at 13.5 million bushels for old crop and 1.8 million bushels for new crop. This puts old crop sales commitments at 1.752 billion bushels compared to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s forecast for 1.9 billion bushels.

We need to average 12.4 million bushels per week with 16 weeks left in the marketing year. This is possible, but sales usually begin to taper lower in the last quarter of the marketing year. New crop sales commitments are running behind last year at this time with 110.6 million bushels on the books versus 144.2 million bushels last year.

China is expecting a record corn crop this year of 222 million metric tons, up 4.3 mmt from last year. Chinese imports are anticipated to shrink from 5.5 mmt in 2013-14 to 3.5 mmt in 2014-15. China announced they will auction 1.0 mmt of state-owned reserve corn on May 22.

Their corn stocks at the end of the 201314 marketing year are forecasted to be 46 percent of total world stocks.

Informa Economics is projecting planted corn acres at 91.581 million acres compared to last year’s 95.365 million acres and a decline of 110,000 million acres from the USDA’s March estimate.

In May, the USDA used 91.7 million acres on the first 2014-15 balance sheet.

Minnesota’s corn acres are projected at 8.5 million acres, down 100,000 from the USDA’s March estimate and last year’s figure. U.S. sorghum acres at 7.561 million are up 880,000 acres from the March USDA forecast.

Informa’s total major crop acreage is 2.9 million higher than last year due to lower prevented plantings and few Conservation Reserve Program acres.

KEYL 1400 AM Long Prairie, Minn.

y father-in-law said that if you don’t listen to the local radio station you won’t know when your neighbor’s barn burns. He also said that his Holsteins were calmed by old-time music. If you listen to KEYL 1400 AM in Long Prairie you will hear local news and old-time music.

“We took the music off the air for a while but we were swamped with letters asking us to put it back,” said Clif Cline, who has been the morning show host since 1998. “Older people tell me that they wake up, turn the radio on, and lay in bed and listen to the accordions.”

Cline comes on the air at 5:30 a.m. with a weather report and the umpah of tubas.

“I learned in radio school that you talk to the microphone like you’re talking to just one person,” he said. “You want to give them some news and put a smile on their face.” From 6 to 7, Cline links his show up with KEYL’s sister FM station, KXDL. For an hour he broadcasts the farm news to the community as it starts another day.

“I love what I do,” this self-proclaimed Master of the Bad Joke said. “I wouldn’t want to do it otherwise.

The bad jokes really start coming when Allen Bailey joins Cline at 7:30. Bailey tells Cline that the news wires are carrying a story about a KFC restaurant refusing to serve a teenager because he wasn’t 18 years old.

“They said they were afraid he would start a food fight,” Bailey reports in absolute mock awe.

The KFC story turns into a 15-second discussion about the carbon footprint of Amish horse-drawn buggies on local roads, and then Clif reads the “Be Nice To” List.

The “Be Nice To” List consists of called-in birthdays and wedding anniversaries. The idea is that if your name is on it your friends will remember and call you. It definitely put a smile on my father-in-law’s face.

Next come garage sales, funeral announcements, local news and sports, national news and Open Mike. On Open Mike an elderly couple can pitch their new health supplements or the superintendent of schools can recap last night’s school board meeting.

This is truly local radio and Cline is proud to be a part of it.

“I want to keep doing this until I’m at least 70,” he said. ❖
