Heritage, farmers agree on big picture; specifics, not so much GUEBERT, from pg. 2 Renewable Fuels Standard.” Ouch.

While Heritage and ranchers and farmers can agree on broad topics like the loss of free markets and the rise of government red tape, the niceties end when specifics — say, crop insurance subsidies and ethanol mandates — are mentioned.

And all talking will stop when talk turns to the idea that “government should not intervene … to ensure that farmers are profitable, as through the ‘shallow loss’ program’ that protects farmers from even minor losses.”

The very idea that the heavily Republican, deeply conservative Heritage Foundation would attack federal

farm programs devised, endorsed and used by the mostly Republican, largely conservative farm and ranch folk is unheard of.

And it didn’t go unanswered.

On May 16, an ag lobby named Farm Policy Facts fired back. The Heritage report, it noted on its website, “departs from the respected analysis Heritage was once known for in favor of what appears to be the talking point of donors.”

It’s part of a clear pattern Heritage now practices, asserted the group that includes the American Sugar Alliance, National Crop Insurance Services, National Association of Wheat Grow-

ers, National Cotton Council and the USA Rice Federation among others.

“Heritage increasingly starts with the answer to any policy question they want and then cherry pick (sic) information in order to arrive at their desired conclusion.” Most of those conclusions, it offered, are “unworthy of a think tank that years ago … was credible.”

Unworthy or not, the central question Heritage raises isn’t about ethanol mandates or crop insurance subsidies.

Instead it’s about the future of the modern welfare state, the dominant feature of today’s government, and how special interests — from banks to mili-

tary contractors to academia and to even, yes, farmers and ranchers — personally benefit from “public” policy as much as the public. That’s a fight worth having and one we will have sooner or later.

But don’t expect it soon because as Will Rogers also noted, “There are three kinds of men: the ones that learn by reading, the few who learn by observation and the rest who have to touch an electric fence.”

Building a bee box Wildlife-outdoor writer Jon Wogen offers tips on how to build a “bee box.”

Most native bees like a six-inch deep hole drilled into a log or four-by-six post. One can screw two-by-fours together. The holes should go all the way through as it will be Jon Wogen photos mounted on a two-byfour 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-byfour 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-sixteenthsinch 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.

• Honey bees were brought to North America by the colonists.

• Apiculture is the name for the keeping of bees.

• Bees do not hibernate, but cluster for warmth. They remain active all winter.

• Bees will maintain an internal cluster temperature of 92 F in the coldest part of winter while raising brood.

• Bees will disconnect their wings allowing them to pump their wing muscles to create heat.

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 beekeepers 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.

Yearly fluctuations in the rate of losses like these only demonstrate how complicated the whole issue of honey bee health has become, with factors such as viruses ... parasites ... lack of diversity in pollen sources, and even sub-lethal effects of pesticides combining to weaken and kill bee colonies.

— Jeff Pettis Healthy pollinator populations are critical to the continued economic wellbeing 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.

Pettis is a research leader of the Agricultural Research Service Bee Research Laboratory in Beltsville, Md. ARS is the USDA’s chief intramural scientific research agency. VanEngelsdorp is a University of Maryland assis-

tant professor who is the leader of the survey and director of the Bee Informed Partnership.

Although the survey, conducted by the USDA and the University of Maryland Bee Informed Partnership shows improvement, losses remain above the level 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. 20-21 and will be attended by a consortium of public, private and non-governmental 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 See SURVEY, pg. 10

Farmers encouraged to grow alfalfa, clover as habitat SURVEY, from pg. 8 support the recovery of pollinator populations. The USDA “Bee Watch” website — log on to 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.

USDA personnel from 10 department agencies (Agricultural Research Service, National Institute of Food and 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. ❖

Henryi is one of the finest pure whites with blooms 6 to 8 inches across and coffee colored anthers. Its heaviest flush of flowering is early in the season with smaller displays of bloom throughout the summer. If you have an all white garden or want a plant for evening interest, Henryi is unequaled. The pure white flowers sparkle and glow at dusk and in moon light.

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.

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.

Apple Sour Cream Slaw Submitted by Joanne Naas and Pamela Hunter Dressing 1 cup sour cream 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 tablespoons cider vinegar 2 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon dry mustard Combine all ingredients and beat until smooth. Set aside.

Slaw 1 cup celery, sliced

The Johnson clan gives four ‘yums’ to Fresh Pear Bread

2 cups cabbage, shredded 1 cup carrot, shredded 2 large apples, cored and cut into bite-size pieces 1/3 cup raisins 1/3 cup salted peanuts, chopped Add everything except peanuts to dressing mixture. Toss to mix. Refrigerate. Mix in peanuts just before serving.

If you’re tired of the same old beef and chicken on the grill, do your stomach a favor and grill up some fish. This 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

Toss halibut with threefourths 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 1/2-inch slices. Toss with a little of the extra marinade and set aside.

From the Fields: It’s getting time to get something done

By KRISTIN KVENO The Land Correspondent

The Thronsons Gary, Minn.

For Jared Thronson planting is finally underway.

The number of acres planted so far may not be impressive but at least it’s Jared Thronson a 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.

In the past two weeks “we got another two-and-a-half days in the field,” Dennis Wilts reported to The

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.

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

The Hagens Lake Mills, Iowa

“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. ❖

Livestock Angles Grain Angles Cattle, hogs Don’t neglect your fickle as of late bookkeeping 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 dayto-day tasks involved in running a business.

Most producers perform record ANDY HUNEKE keeping for two reasons: to have the AgStar Director, Agbiz & proper information to file income Trade Credit/Leasing Northfield, Minn. taxes, and to have the records for their lender so they can continue to 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 prof-

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

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 Afton, Minn. level and in the export market.

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.

Editor’s note: Tim Emslie, CHS Hedging market analyst, is sitting in this week for Phyllis Nystrom, the regular “Grain Outlook” columnist. ❖ The following market analysis is for the week ending May 23.

CORN — Corn prices edged lower this week, holding relatively stable compared to the rally in soybeans and the sell-off in wheat. For the week, the July contract was down 5.5 cents, and the December contract was down 5.75 cents.

After catching up to the fiveTIM EMSLIE year average the previous week, CHS Hedging Inc. St. Paul planting progress slowed slightly to come in 3 points below the fiveyear average at 73 percent complete as of May 18. Northern tier states such as North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan remain behind their respective fiveyear averages. The U.S. Department of Agriculture indicated that it does not expect to report conditions in the coming week, which means the first conditions report of the season is likely to be out on June 2.

Weekly export sales increased this week to 508,000 metric tons. The ethanol production rate reported on a weekly basis rose 3,000 barrels per day to 925,000.

Summertime gasoline demand should easily maintain enough ethanol demand to keep corn use for ethanol on track to meet the USDA projection for the marketing year.

The opposite directions of the corn and soybean markets this week sent the new-crop bean-corn ratio soaring to new heights. The ratio rallied from 2.54 to 2.66 this week, eclipsing the previous high made in

Soybean exports on pace to top 1.6 billion bushels EMSLIE, from pg. 15 December. It’s late in the planting season, but it could make the decision to switch away from corn in the northern tier states mentioned earlier easier.

OUTLOOK: Markets will hinge on crop development issues as always this time of year, but more specifically in 2014 the two main questions are acreage across the northern tier, and the initial condition report expected in early June. In the four northern states mentioned above, there were nearly 11 million acres unplanted as of May 18. The five-year average for the initial good/excellent rating is 67 percent. Last year, the initial rating was 63 percent. On the chart, the December contract moved down to support at $4.70 this week, with the downside momentum that followed the May USDA report still intact.

SOYBEANS — Soybean prices climbed to new contract highs in both the July and November contracts this week. For the week, the July contract was up 50.5 cents, and the November contract was up 41.5 cents. Export sales reported on Thursday were the impetus for part of the rally, coming

in at 164,000 metric tons for the current marketing year.

That was the largest total since midMarch, and pushed the total commitments number to 1.649 billion bushels, now 49 million bushels more than the current USDA estimate of 1.6 billion bushels for the year. That’s not quite as bad as it sounds since the commitments total at the end of the marketing year always includes some outstanding sales that end up being rolled over to the next marketing year. However, the final export total is clearly on a pace to exceed 1.6 billion bushels.

The meal and oil export totals were impressive as well at 186,000 metric tons for meal and 41,000 metric tons for oil, respectively. There was talk this week of planned imports of Argentine meal being canceled because of poor protein content. Domestic processor cash markets were firm over the first part of the week, but backed off after the futures rally.

Some of the additional crush needed will have to come from imported soybeans because of the tight balance sheet. The United States imported

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 profitand-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 independ-

ent. They must understand the entity they are reviewing, review the accounting 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.

23.3 million bushels through March. Official April data is released in early June. To achieve the USDA’s projection of 90 million bushels for the marketing year, monthly import totals will need to average 13.3 million bushels from April to August. Last July, the United States imported about 12 million bushels during the month, the most in any one month.

Harvest activity in Argentina is being slowed by wet weather. According to the Buenos Aires Grain Exchange, harvest advanced 3 percentage points on the week to 70 percent complete. Soybeans harvested wet are more likely to move directly into marketing channels rather than be stored.

OUTLOOK: June 4 is an important date for the old-crop soybean balance sheet. That’s the date the official imports for April are reported. The new highs registered this week indicate the market is still looking to see how the tight stocks situation will be resolved. On the chart, the next objective for the November contract is the June 2013 high of $13.

Tim’s tidbits: Russia and China signed a 30-year natural gas supply agreement this week that was many years in the works. The recent tension between Russian and Europe probably gave the Russians just enough additional incentive to find an alternative customer to conclude the deal. The deal provides the capital needed to develop gas fields in eastern Siberia, along with the pipeline needed to carry the gas to China.

The amount of gas provided each day beginning in 2018 is the equivalent of a quarter of Russia’s current exports to Europe. The long-term implications of this agreement are likely to be significant, not only in the current RussiaUkraine-Europe tensions, but also on

Records build confidence

the longer-term geo-political structure of the globe. For example, the Russians and Chinese intentionally withheld any details of what currency payments would be made in, although the total size of the deal was broadly reported in U.S. dollar terms. It seems likely that both sides would like to move away from the U.S. dollar.

This would be a blow to the U.S. dollar’s reserve currency status, a status that among other things allows the United States to borrow inexpensively.

Pricing in Chinese yuan is not feasible today, but this is likely a significant step toward the yuan’s move toward greater convertibility in world markets.

The flash manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index for China rebounded from 48.1 in April to 49.7 this month, indicating that the slowdown in China is easing. In the United States, new home sales gave the equity markets a late-week boost at a 433,000 annualized rate in April, up from a revised 407,000 in March. That provided further evidence that we’ll see a nice weather-related bounce in Q2 Gross Domestic Product. The S&P was up more than 1 percent for the week, finishing near the record high.

Wheat prices fell for a second week in all three contracts. The week began with winter wheat conditions falling another point to 29 percent good-excellent, but ended with the nicest rains of the season for much of the southern plains. The rain came too late to help in most of Texas and Oklahoma, but will give a boost further north. For the week, Kansas City wheat was down 22.75 cents, Minneapolis wheat was down 14 cents and Chicago wheat was down 21.75 cents.

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.

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. ❖

Farmers may be facing prevented-planting options again

Be in contact with crop insurance agent for details PROGRAMS, from pg. 17 late-planting period, which is typically 25 days following the established final planting date for a given crop.

(Example: A final planting date of May 31 for corn would result in a late-planting period from June 1-25.)

The crop insurance coverage is reduced by 1 percent for each day after the final planting date for the next 25 days. For crops planted after the final dates for the late planting period (June 25 for corn), crop insurance coverage is set at a maximum of 60 percent of the original insurance guarantee, which is the same as the preventedplanting insurance coverage.

• Plant another crop (second crop) after the final planting date. For example, soybeans could be planted on intended corn acres after May 31. In that case, there would be no prevented-planting coverage for the corn acres, and the soybeans would be treated as insurable

soybean acres. If the soybeans are planted after the final planting date (June 10), they would be considered “Late Planted,” with a 1 percent per day reduction in the revenue guarantee for 25 days.

• File a prevented-planting crop insurance claim on the qualifying original unplanted acres, after May 31 for corn and June 10 for soybeans.

The producer will receive a prevented-planting payment per eligible acre equal to the original revenue guarantee times 60 percent.The original revenue guarantee was the APH yield times the crop insurance base price ($4.62/bu. for corn and $11.36/bu. for soybeans) times the level of RP coverage level.

(Corn example: 190 bushels per acre x $4.62/bu. x 0.80 = $702.24 x 0.60 = $421.34 prevent-plant amount) (Soybean example: 52 bu./acre x $11.36/bu. x 0.80 = $472.58 x 0.60 = $283.55 prevent-plant amount)

After the lateplanting 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.

• Plant another crop (second crop) after the late planting period (June 25 for corn) has ended, with the intent of harvesting that crop. In this case the 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-to-farm, so producers need to check with their crop insurance agent.

(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 preventedplanting crop insurance decision.

■ Cash cheese reversed four weeks of decline Thursday and topped $2/lb. again for the first time since May 12. The blocks closed Friday at $2.02/lb., up 2.25 cents on the week and 26.75 cents above a year ago. Barrel closed at $2.02 as well, up 6 cents on the week and 29.75 cents above a year ago. Ten cars of block and two of barrel traded hands on the week.

The lagging NDPSR-surveyed U.S. average block price dropped 5.2 cents, to $2.1602. The barrels averaged $2.1651, down 6.5 cents.

Cheese production across the United States is mixed, according to the USDA’s Dairy Market News.

Some of the southern regions are past peak milk production. Milk availability is varied sometimes within regions. The northern edge of the central region is slow to show a spring flush this year, while much of the Midwest is experiencing increasing volumes. This is allowing plants that want to increase production, the ability to find additional milk at increasingly favorable prices on the spot market. The lower prices have some buyers looking to increase orders and build their own stocks. Export demand has slowed as

international prices are more competitive to our market.

Cash butter saw a small rally Tuesday, slipped a half-cent Wednesday, then inched up three-quarters Thursday, and gained a penny Friday to close at $2.18/lb., up 2 cents on the week, 63 cents above a year ago, and the highest spot butter price since May 26, 2011. Thirty-eight carloads traded hands on the week. NDPSR butter averaged $2.0544, up 6.5 cents.

U.S. butter prices have surpassed most international markets, slowing export demand. The DMN reports the market tone is mixed. Domestic print buyers are purchasing in a “hand-to-mouth” fashion while bulk purchasers are actively seeking supplies with rebuilding stocks in mind. Production rates are mixed with variances in milk supplies and cream availability. Inventories are tight.

Cash nonfat dry milk saw some strength this week, closing Friday at $1.7925, up three-quarter cents on the week. One car was sold. NDPSR powder averaged $1.8556, down 4.3 cents, and dry whey averaged 67.27 cents, up 0.1 cent.

The tone of dry dairy products varies by commodity in the market, the DMN said. Prices in the nonfat dry milk market are trending lower throughout the regions. Most spot market buyers are still hesitant to develop transactions beyond immediate needs, although interests are improving.

Milk production is active in the East, Central and West regions with higher milk intakes for most drying operations. Farm-level production volumes are seeing different developments across the country, according to the DMN. Eastern milk production has leveled in some areas of the region while seeing declines in others; however, manufacturing supplies remain heavy.

Output rates in the Midwest are steady to slightly higher, but lower than expected. As a result, some

cheese makers are looking for extra loads to meet current orders and rebuild inventories. Milk volumes are decreasing in California and New Mexico. Some loads in New Mexico required clearing to distant processors due post-peak maintenance projects.

Utah, Idaho and the Pacific Northwest milk production continues to increase, as favorable temperatures prevail. Expectations are that the approaching alfalfa harvest will extend production. Bottling demand throughout the country is steady to lower as semesters end at most educational institutions. Cream markets are mixed. Some churning operations have chosen to scale back on butter production, as manufacturers shift cream supplies to other dairy classes.

■ This week’s Global Dairy Trade auction saw the weighted average for all products drop 1.8 percent, following the 1.1-percent drop in the May 6 event and a 2.6-percent decline in the April 15 event. The price index has seen seven consecutive declines since reaching its recent high Feb. 4.

The downfall Tuesday was led by a 3.8-percent drop in butter (down 1.5 percent in the last event), a 3.5percent decline in skim milk powder (down 2.3 percent in the last event), a 2.1-percent drop in Cheddar cheese (down 1.8 percent last time), and a 1.9-percent drop in buttermilk powder (down 1.2 percent in the last auction). Whole milk powder was down 1.1 percent, (down 1.7 percent in the May 6 event).

Increases were seen in rennet casein, up 4.6 percent (up 6.8 percent in the last event), and a 1.9-percent increase in anhydrous milkfat (up 2.4 percent in the last event).

FC Stone reports the average butter price equated to about $1.6631/lb. U.S., down from $1.7652 in the May 6 event ($1.6225/lb. on 80-percent butterfat, down from $1.7222/lb.). Chicago Mercantile Exchange butter closed Friday at $2.18. The GDT Cheddar cheese average was $1.8635/lb. U.S., down from $1.9029. The U.S. block price Friday was at $2.02. Skim milk powder, at $1.6933/lb.

U.S., is down from $1.7568, and the whole milk powder average at $1.7586/lb. U.S., is down from $1.7819 in the last event. The CME Grade A nonfat dry milk price Friday stood at $1.7925/lb.

■ Cooperatives Working Together accepted 21 requests for export assistance this week to sell 1.551 million pounds of Cheddar and Gouda cheeses, 3.306 million pounds of 82-percent butter and 1.482 million pounds of whole milk powder to customers in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, South America and the South Pacific.

The product will be delivered through October. Year-todate, the CWT has assisted member cooperatives in selling 53.085 million pounds of cheese, 45.953 million pounds of butter and 10.337 million pounds of whole milk powder to 37 countries on six continents. These sales are the equivalent of 1.591 billion pounds of milk on a milkfat basis, according to the CWT. Lee Mielke is a syndicated columnist who resides in Everson, Wash.

Beekeeper Jerry Linser takes apart a beehive to take a look at the bees inside in Grant, Minn. In an effort to reverse declines in bee populations, Linser is among the hundreds of Minnesotans who have jumped on to the beekeeping bandwagon.

Courtland 15 SHARP

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

THE LAND, MAY 30, 2014

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 honeytummy 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.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

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.” ❖

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

WHISPERER, from pg. 23 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.

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 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.

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

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. ❖
