Farmers face flood losses

By TIM KROHN Mankato Free Press Last week’s field flooding was unusual for its breadth.

“The entire region got an excessive amount of rain. I don’t think there’s any areas that were spared. Some had 4-6 inches in one shot so they obviously have a more serious situation,” said Kent Thiesse, “Farm Programs” columnist for The Land.

Getting a handle on how much crop loss there is will unfold in the coming weeks, depending on how fast water recedes, whether more rain falls and after more detailed surveys can be done.

“Crop loss will be from fairly moderate to severe. It’s certainly not going to be a record yield this year,” said Kevin Paap, who farms in the Garden City, Minn., area.

“There’s a lot of standing water out here. It just takes a long time for it to go down.”

Thiesse said that for most farmers federal crop insurance probably won’t do much.

“If they have big areas (lost) they may collect, but it’s based on average yield so even if you lose 10 or 15 percent of your production you’re not going to get anything,” Thiesse said.

Karl Duncanson, who farms with family members in the Mapleton area, was trying to be optimistic about the week-long rains, which brought from 3 to as much as 20 inches in southwestern Minnesota. Many See FLOOD, pg. 10A

It’s a big investment at big risk, suggests Ceres, which directs a group of more than 100 institutional investors whose collective assets top $13 trillion.

But that’s just the tip of the melting iceberg.

According to the Ceres report, “16 separate sectors” of the U.S. economy “depend on corn as a key ingredient.”

Last year, “The top 45 companies in the corn value chain earned $1.7 trillion in revenue,” or more than “Australia’s annual GDP.” Given those numbers for just corn, consider the impact climate change will have across not just farming and ranching but the entire U.S. economy.

Or, as most American farm and ranch groups prefer, don’t. The really big, really smart money, however, already is.

But it just wasn’t — and, if another drought strikes, just won’t be — corn farmers who were nailed, the report notes. “Investors,” it explains, “need to understand how companies in the grain processing, food, beverage, livestock, ethanol, grocery and restaurant sectors are addressing these risks….”

In short, while many farm organizations dismiss or discredit climate change as a government-sponsored plot to impose new regulations on farmers and ranchers, the multi-trillion-dollar food, feed and fuel sectors who rely on U.S. farm and ranch output to generate product and profit do not see a bogeyman. To them and their shareholders, climate change is a serious threat that needs to be managed.

The Ceres report lays out the size of that threat to the U.S. corn sector. For example, “87 percent of irrigated corn is grown in regions with high or extremely high water stress” and “over half of the country’s irrigated corn production — worth nearly $9 billion annually — depends on groundwater from the overexploited High Plains aquifer.”

Additionally, “36 ethanol refineries are

A quarter century of service to rural families MINDS, from pg. 2A shows up to camp without already knowing the music by heart.

These young people dedicate hundreds and hundreds of strenuous hours before, during and after spat camp, and don’t even get paid for it. (A lucrative summer job during marching season is impossible, so marching band is a major net loss financially, for parents and students.)

The director and staff put in even greater hours, preparing each student — not to be perfect, but for when things go wrong to maintain composure and finish strong; not to defeat the competition, but to perform to the

utmost of their abilities; not to tear down their opponents, but to build their teammates up.

When you put nearly 100 teenagers together this closely for extended periods of time — in camp, on buses, on tour — some personality conflicts, or fraternization, that distract from the big picture are bound to happen. That big picture, though, is a pretty amazing thing to witness when everybody buys into the process.

My daughter has bought into it and, now in her fourth season, is a stronger, tougher, smarter, more conscientious and harder-working person because of it. That’s more than I ever asked for;

OPINION

that’s what it delivered. And that’s good enough for me.

I’d be lying, though, if I said the big shiny trophies aren’t pretty cool, too.

■ Apparently some folks weren’t quite sure what to make of The Land Editor Kevin Schulz’ “Land Minds” last issue.

I don’t believe he necessarily intended to be cryptic, but rather humbly make his exit without making a fuss. He is indeed leaving for greener occupational pastures after 24 years of service to The Land.

More importantly, Kevin has given almost a quarter century of his life in service to Minnesota’s and Iowa’s agricultural community and rural families.

Formal surveys indicate The Land is the most respected farm and rural life publication across the Upper Midwest.

Informal surveys — meeting you, the readers, face-to-face at farm shows and elsewhere — validate the statistics.

He would surely deny it, but the respect The Land receives is in no small part due to Kevin’s efforts over

the course of nearly two-thirds of this magazine’s 38 years in print to insist on providing readers engaging content with a human touch.

He has also had the courage to let contributors such as Dick Hagen and myself freely voice our occasionally controversial opinions, particularly when they weren’t about “farm” issues.

This, to me, clearly shows Kevin’s respect for our readers’ intelligence.

(The fact that he has received angry mail over the years from readers claiming he’s “obviously” a no-good liberal, as well that he’s “obviously” a no-good conservative, only proves that he was doing something right all this time.)

It has been an honor to work with Kevin Schulz for 10 years, to get to know his family and watch his girls grow up, and I am proud to call him my friend. Now the old dog is off to learn some new tricks. He will be missed.

Tom Royer is assistant editor of The Land. He can be reached at troyer@thelandonline.com and, on June 29, somewhere along the parade route in Alexandria, Minn. ❖

finished Wilts spraying wheat on June 9 and will immediately start on the corn and sugar beets. The spraying has been “going real good.”

Dennis Wilts The weather has been perfect for both spraying and growing crops, with temperatures in the mid-70s; He calls that “just about right.” Even-warmer temperatures next week should continue to help the crop flourish.

Wilts said he hasn’t seen a lot of weeds come up. Even so, he wanted to spray now rather than later. “I could’ve waited until next week, but with rain coming I decided to do it now.” He’ll be keeping busy spraying and hauling grain to town.

It’s not all work and no play for Wilts — once the crop is planted, he enjoys a little time out at the lake. His family has a place on Lobster Lake and will gather with his wife, kids and grandkids next weekend.

There’s no better feeling than having the crops planted, weather cooperating to get those crops growing, and getting the opportunity to make some memories at the lake with family. Now that’s a Minnesota summer.

Timing can be everything in farming.

Don Hoffman is certainly glad he got his first cut of hay done Don Hoffman when he did. When The Land spoke with him on June 10, Hoffman was relieved that his first-cut hay went “excellent.” He knows that isn’t the case for a lot of farmers around the New Ulm area.

“A lot of people haven’t even started to cut,” he said. With all of the rain they’ve received, conditions just haven’t been favorable for getting in the field. But Hoffman found a window of opportunity — May 28-29 — to get his hay cut and he’s “really, really happy we pushed it and got it done.”

The rest of the crops are looking “pretty good,” he said, but there are a “few yellowing spots in some corn fields due to too much moisture.” Hoffman believes that a little heat and sun should help those crops along.

The crops are all sprayed and Hoffman is happy that is “all set to go for a while.” He will be working on replacing parts on the haybine, switching the cows’ mattresses, and “maintenance that we do on the barn 365 days of the

“Everything looks good.”

Those three words are what producers want to say about their crops this time Jim Hagen of year, and that’s exactly what Jim Hagen reported when The Land spoke with him on June 10.

On June 1 the Hagen farm received four to five inches of rain in about three hours. That deluge of rain was a concern, but the farm hasn’t received any more rain since — and thankfully the crops haven’t slowed down. Even so, “The sponge is full,” said Hagen.

“We couldn’t take another four to five inches of rain.”

He’s pleased with the “very even stand on the corn,” and the same with the soybeans. Hagen said he is having some trouble with water hemp and pig weed, though. He finished spraying corn on June 9 and will “wait another four to five days to spray beans.” He also “started to side dress corn; the first two fields are done.”

Hagen has been watching the Chicago Mercantile Exchange as corn prices are dropping quite a bit, but he knows there’s “not much you can do about it.” All he can do is to enjoy the progress the crops are making. “The whole area looks good, no bad crops.”

He does have one request: “Tell Mother Nature to keep it up.” ❖

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Planting may have gotten a late start for Dennis Wilts, but the crops don’t seem to know that.

The Land spoke with Wilts on June 10 as he noted that the warm weather the previous week helped the crops catch up some. “We’re still a little behind but looking pretty good,” he said.

“The warm weather has made the crops come up fast, and the weeds too.”

That being the case, Jared Thronson’s new sprayer has been to Jared Thronson put to good use. The Land spoke with him on June 9 as he was “getting into spraying mode.” He started spraying winter wheat on June 6 and was happy to report that the sprayer “worked like it should.” The bigger tank on the sprayer made the spraying go more quickly. “Once I got going with it, I liked it.”

Thronson and his new equipment will be busy for the next few weeks.

“I’ll be spraying beans this week; by next week I’ll be spraying wheat.” The fields are dry so now’s the time to get the spraying done and the weeds eliminated.

He finished planting May 29 and from there the crops have been “looking pretty good.” Once things got planted, the crops “came out of the ground fast, it didn’t take long,” he said.

Thronson is trying to “keep ahead of the game” by getting stuff done around the farm. He’s going through the planter and spring equipment so that he won’t have to work on it during the rush of next spring.

More warm days and nights “help the corn and beans” and that helps keep Thronson one happy guy.

year.”

In two weeks he’ll be back at cutting hay again.

Hoffman is looking forward to getting off the farm for a little adventure with his wife, Diane. In a few weeks they’ll drive out to Indianapolis for a conference that Diane will be attending. The fun will be in deciding where to stop and what to do along the way.

With the first cut of hay done, crops growing strong, and a road trip with his wife, Hoffman is enjoying the timing of it all.

Bachelor’s degree in business or finance, or equivalent. Two years experience in agricultural lending, four years desired but not required.

A four-year degree opens more doors, however as two-year community colleges keep expanding their agricultural agenda, that two-year program is providing jobs for a rapidly growing number of both young men and women.

— Tammy Jensen only two years of on-the-job experience, to a person with 20, even 30 years of experience depending upon the type of position to be filled.

“We also can be a great source for people already in the agricultural work force but wanting to expand their careers, or perhaps wanting to relocate for various reasons,” Jensen said.

“We’re in contact with dozens of agribusiness firms so we have a good read on particular job opportunities that might provide significant advancement for the right person.”

She said that AgriCareers does place more males than females, but today

sees significantly more women in the agricultural job market than just a few years ago.

The relevance of a master’s degree in the increasingly complex and diversified world of agriculture depends upon what you are intending to do in your career, she said. For example, someone pursuing a research position, that master’s degree would be far more important. She also noted that they see individuals who go to work for a particular company and that firm recognizes they may have an exceptional employee, so they will help finance further education for that person.

Jensen said that the amazing growth of precision farming technology, such as global position systems and the use of drones, has made on-farm “tech hands” a big area of employment.

“Just check with your junior colleges and community colleges,” she said, “and you’ll find much more emphasis on precision farming education. As farming becomes more technologybased, farm jobs with the right skills training will become more desirable both by farmers and non-farm people looking for a career in agriculture.”

She offered this advice to young students about to begin seeking employment in the agricultural workforce. “It’s natural for young people to be looking for the ‘big bucks,’” Jensen said, “but employers are much more interested in what this prospective new hire brings to the job in terms of attitude, people skills and what does this young person bring to the company doing the hiring.

“It’s fairly easy for a hiring boss to detect when a prospect is more interested in hearing what this company can do for him or her. Quite often that’s the end of the interview.”

Fund developed to honor Page’s dedication

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer The legacy of Mary Page, and her dedication to rural affairs will live on through the Mary J. Page Community-University Partnerships Fund.

A reception was held May 21 at the Cargill Building on the University of Minnesota St. Paul Campus, launching the fund.

The purpose of this new fund is to provide support to the U of M Regional Sustainable Development Partnerships program. Focus will be on scholarships to deserving high school graduates and special community-involvement projects in rural Minnesota.

Page was a founding member and served on the

West Central RSDP board from 1999 to 2007. She provided foundational ideals that formed citizendriven aspects of the RSDP and aided in future programming of the U of M Extension Service.

Kathy Draeger, statewide director of RSDP, said, “Mary’s values and her dedication left a lasting impression on the partnerships. We strive every day to continue her legacy of community involvement and commitment to the well-being of Greater Minnesota.

“It is in honor of Mary’s commitment to rural communities and RSDP that this endowment has been created, beginning with a founding gift and a matching gift from members of the Page family, which will leverage additional donations.”

Q: Is the pig business profitable in the Netherlands?

A: It has been reasonably profitable the past few months because of very high pig prices, but the downside of that is feed prices continue quite high so margins are still tight.

Q: Are young people in your country getting involved in the pig industry?

A: It does happen but only seldom.

Much like here, our existing hog farms grow bigger so new pig farms are almost a rarity, even in these better times. I’m 37. I never dreamed of getting into the pig industry until I was offered this job. Now I travel the world. I speak both Dutch and English but English is mostly the world language so that works for me.

At the time it wasn’t a very virulent virus so with good biosecurity measures, it didn’t become a major issue. There doesn’t seem to be a great deal of worry about it presently.

“We have enough water but we can’t do anything about it,” Duncanson said. “We’re fortunate the wind wasn’t as severe as other places and the rain wasn’t as severe as other places.”

He said the stress on plants comes at an inopportune time for corn. “Corn is setting itself up for its reproductive stage already, deciding on cob length and kernel size.”

Soybeans that aren’t completely drowned out aren’t as affected this time of year. “Beans are made in late July and early August. Corn sets itself up earlier,” he said.

Despite the setback, Duncanson said there’s a long growing season ahead. “What happens the rest of the season, the rainfall and temperatures, will make more of a difference than what happened now.”

replanting flooded areas into soybeans, but the window is closing.

“The rule of thumb is soybeans by the Fourth of July,” Paap said. “But it’s a lot of hassle to do it and if there’s any more rain then that’s the first to drown out again.”

Thiesse said that whether some farmers can replant with early maturing soybeans will depend largely on how quickly fields dry.

“Because of the frequency of the rain the entire drainage system is backed up so the water is a lot slower to recede,” he said.

“And of course the areas that need to be replanted are the wettest areas in the field, so it could take a long time.”

Beyond the rain some regions sus-

tained heavy wind and hail damage.

“There was some hail in the Vernon Center and Mapleton areas, but otherwise I didn’t hear of a lot of damaging hail in Blue Earth and Nicollet counties,” Thiesse said. “But Martin and Faribault (counties) had more.”

He said many farmers also sustained wind damage to trees and buildings across southern Minnesota.

And, Thiesse said, there is an added insult to injury for many farmers whose fields were flooded.

“A lot of farmers are dealing with the same thing as folks in the city — they have water in their basements.”

Grain Outlook Livestock Angles Grain Angles Chatter about Cattle, hogs On-time planting acres lost to flood explosive in June incentivized May proved to be a challenging month for planting; however we made some good progress before the final planting date of May 31 in most of Minnesota and Wisconsin.

On June 2, the U.S. Department of Agriculture crop progress report revealed Minnesota at 93 percent corn planted and Wisconsin at 86 percent of the intended corn acres planted. Additional corn acres will likely be planted in the first week of June as well, especially those livestock farmers in need of corn silage.

Nationally we are 95 percent planted on corn which is slightly ahead of the five-year average.

The incentive to get acres planted this year after final plant dates, are greater than last year.

An Actual Production History of 180 bushels per acre with 80-percent coverage and no additional prevent-plant buy-up would give you approximately $88 less of a prevent-plant revenue than last year due to lower prices.

Another option producers may elect is planting an alternative crop such as soybeans, which has a final plant date of June 10 in most of Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Well, the first few weeks of June sure have been explosive for the livestock markets. Both cattle and hog prices have improved rapidly as numbers of market-ready animals have decreased and the markets have responded.

The cattle market has raced higher to levels not seen since February as packers continue to bid higher for cattle over the past several weeks. Tighter numbers appear to be the main reason for the scramble for live inventory.

The futures market has responded to the firming cash markets as the basis has quickly narrowed in the nearby contracts.

JOE TEALE Broker It would appear that unless numbers increase, the market Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. competition for live inventory will continue to fuel the market to higher levels. The only caveat appears to be the declining lack of demand for beef because of increased prices. This could retard the advances in recent and future prices paid for cattle.

There is no question that the cattle market is overbought, but this is a technical observation, and the fundamentals still are going to be the overriding determination to price discovery. In the past few months as the beef cutout pushes above the $230 per hundredweight basis choice, resistance to these higher prices begins to surface.

The next several weeks will prove to be interesting on which way the market proceeds. This will definitely be a battle pitting supply versus demand. It could well develop into a unsettled and explosive situation. Producers should consider protecting invenSee TEALE, pg. 12A

The following market analysis is for the week ending June 20.

CORN — Last week we suggested that corn was due for a possible upward correction with choppier trading expected into the June 30 Grain Stocks and Planted Acreage reports, which was what we got this week.

While the upper Midwest struggled with too much rainfall, the majority of the Corn Belt enjoyed favorable growing conditions. Over the next few weeks the trade will now try and determine how many acres were planted and lost, or not planted at all. The June 30 report may not PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. capture the acres that were lost St. Paul after June 1. If the acreage number comes in higher than anticipated, you’ll hear chatter about the acres lost to the flood that weren’t accounted for.

July corn was 6 1⁄4 cents higher for the week, closing at $4.53 1⁄4 per bushel. This was the first weekly gain after five straight weekly losses. The December contract was 4 1⁄2 cents higher at $4.52 per bushel.

December corn was unable to break below the contract low at $4.35 per bushel, holding at $4.37 1⁄4 per bushel. This area of support may hold until we see the numbers at the end of the month.

Weekly export sales were on the low side of expectations and the second-lowest of the marketing year at 4.3 million bushels of old crop and 3.1 million bushels for new crop. Old crop sales commitments are 1.837 billion bushels versus 1.9 billion bushels forecast. We need to average 10.3 million bushels of sales per week in the last 11 weeks of the marketing See NYSTROM, pg. 12A

Trade evaluating unplanted acres due to flooding NYSTROM, from pg. 11A year to hit the target.

Argentina raised their 2013-14 corn crop production projection from 31.1 million metric tons to 32.1 mmt. The better watched Buenos Aires Cereal Exchange’s estimate last week was 25 mmt. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has them pegged at just 24 mmt.

An official with China’s National Development and Reform Commission this week said China’s grain stocks have risen to 350 mmt, including 150 mmt of corn. A few theories have been floated as how to reduce the stocks before new crop harvest.

One action would be to auction stocks, which has already occurred with limited success. Another would be to export corn, which could be done, but quality could be a hindrance.

U.S. ethanol production hit a weekly record last week at 972,000 barrels per day, up 28,000 bpd from the previous week. The prior record was 963,000 bpd set in December 2011.

Ethanol inventories were down from last week’s 18.4 million barrels to 17.9 million barrels this week.

As a side note, logistics are also being affected by the excessive rains.

Railroad lines were washed out in some areas, roads were closed due to water damage, and the river system is dealing with flooding which makes loading and navigation tricky.

OUTLOOK: This week’s gains will be viewed as a bounce in a bearish market. The crop usually finds a way to recover from “too much rain” much quicker and better than the market

expects.

Many areas will be grateful for these rains if we turn drier into July. The odds for excessive heat during July pollination seem to be shrinking, providing support that this year’s yields may indeed exceed the current 165.3 bushels per acre estimate being used by the USDA. Crop conditions are expected to show a small decline as of June 22 due to recent rainfall; however, since we started out with such a high percentage in the good/excellent category, we can afford a decrease. Conditions were higher at 76 percent good/excellent on the June 15 report. Only six years in the last 28 years have we had a rating equal to or higher than this year. Of the six years, four set record yields that year: 1986, 1987, 1994 and 2003.

The timing of summer sales should consider competition from South American corn that will be entering the export channel as well. If no crop threat is perceived, U.S. growers are expected to market remaining old crop when pollination begins. This could coincide with South American sales and pressure markets at the same time.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans were mixed this week with old crop moving sideways and new crop gaining ground. The excessive rains in the northern Corn Belt may be causing some concern as the trade evaluates how many acres will remain unplanted or were drowned out. We continue to sell old soybeans that the balance sheet says we can’t afford.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Normal season turns TEALE, from pg. 11A tories as warranted by individual needs.

The hog market has apparently made the normal seasonal turn as prices have begun to advance as numbers decrease. The Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus may help explain some of the decrease in numbers, but the normal seasonal tendencies generally bring on a summertime high.

The extent of the effects of the virus seems to be still very much speculation, but the fact that as beef prices have advanced, the price of pork has become a good value in the retail sector.

Pork has found its own resistance levels, but at his time that area is still

several dollars away. This should continue to provide some price support in the weeks ahead.

The fact that most of the trade has anticipated the reduction in hog numbers does leave the market a bit vulnerable, as reflected in the huge premiums in the futures market as evidenced in the over $11.00 premium for the expiring June contract to the July contract.

This should alert producers to the fact that cash prices may very well rally, but can the futures remain at this size of premium throughout a cash rally into July. Therefore, producers are urged to consider protecting inventories at extreme premiums to the current market prices. ❖

A sale of 140,000 metric tons of old crop beans to unknown was announced during the week and weekly export sales remain positive. A sale of 110,000 metric tons of new crop soybeans was also announced late in the week.

Funds turned buyers as the U.S. dollar declined and technical buyers looked for bargains, but late week selling pushed old crop months to a loss for the week.

Bean basis has been flat as meal finds competition from dried distillers grains and lower hog feed demand due to porcine epidemic diarrhea virus issues. The June 16 release of the May National Oilseed Processors Association soybean crush of 128.8 million bushels was much higher than the 127 million bushel estimate. The market was unable to capitalize on the bullish number and set the tone for a soft week in old crop months.

Weekly export sales continue to sur-

pass what we need. This week’s sales of 3.6 million bushels put total commitments at 1.659 billion bushels. The USDA is only projecting 1.6 billion bushels of total exports for the year.

When will we see this number turn consistently negative? We’ve only had one net negative sales number this marketing year, and that was only 600,000 bushels. New crop sales were 10.5 million bushels, pushing total new crop sales to 378.7 million bushels. The current USDA projection for 2014-15 is 1.625 billion bushels.

OUTLOOK: July soybeans were down a dime this week at $14.15 3⁄4, August lost 8 cents at $13.61 1⁄2 and the November contract rallied 10 1⁄4 cents to $12.31 1⁄2 per bushel. Soybean conditions fell last week 1 percent to 73 percent good/excellent with another small decline expected for the June 22 report after excess rains in the western and northern Corn Belt. Unless something unforeseen takes place, soybeans upside is limited until the June 30 reports are revealed. In five of the last seven years, the June 30 Stocks report was higher than expectations.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending June 20: Chicago July wheat was 3⁄4 cents lower while the Minneapolis rallied 6 1⁄4 cents and Kansas City gained 7 1⁄2 cents. July crude oil managed a 35-cent gain, ultra-low-sulfur diesel bumped up nearly 6 1⁄2 cents, reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending jumped 7 cents higher, and natural gas collapsed 20 3⁄4 cents lower. The cattle on feed report was as follows: June 1 on feed as expected at 98.4, June placements slightly higher than expected at 93.0, and marketings in line with estimates at 95.7.

Embracing the morning pays dividends for outdoorsman Benjamin Franklin was on to something when he extolled the benefits of “early to bed, early to rise.”

While I can’t vouch for its effect on health, wealth or wisdom, rolling out of the sack certainly seems to pay dividends for outdoor activities.

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who embrace the morning, whose feet hit the floor running, and those for whom dawn comes at an inconvenient, uncomfortable time.

If you hunt or fish, then you probably agree that predawn has its advantages. Peak game and fish activ-

ities frequently occur in the morning. Purely as a practical matter, hitting the road earlier than everyone else ensures there will be room at the lake access and little or no competition for the best fishing or hunting areas.

Being the first person on the water, into the turkey woods or on the duck slough is to temporarily own it, be privy to secrets that late sleepers can never know.

At home, weekday or weekend, holiday or work day, the bedside alarm is set to clatter at 4:45 a.m. Since my wife is among those for whom dawn always comes way too early, I’ll confess that this has been no small source

of irritation over the years.

But after four decades, she has grudgingly come to accept it, rolling over and catching more shut-eye as I pad down the hall.

And I frequently remind her how lucky she is to have a partner who is getting out of bed when some husbands are trying to sneak back in.

THE OUTDOORS On most mornings, a noisy

By John Cross alarm is unnecessary, anyway.

My internal clock usually is reliable enough to prompt me to put feet on the floor. Come rain or snow, mosquitoes and gnats, I’m out the door with the dog for our morning constitution before 5 a.m.

In the early morning, even city streets reveal secrets that late-risers would never know.

Numerous times while walking the dog along empty city streets in the early morning, I have shared the route with deer, occasionally a skunk, raccoon, even a possum. I have tracked satellites, the space station, as they have coursed across the pre-dawn sky.

Occasionally, I have even found cash fluttering along the curb.

Not all early mornings are created equal.

Now, just a few days from the summer solstice, when temperatures are mild and sunrise is at its earliest — these are the best of them.

Even at 5 a.m., a half-hour before sunrise, the halflight of dawn suffuses our route with a pleasant glow. The trees are alive with the chorus of birds. By the time I get back to the house to brew the morning coffee, the first rays of sunlight already are raking across the kitchen table.

In another six months, things will be different.

I’ll grab a heavy coat from the closet, pull the watchman’s cap over my ears, slip on some gloves and we’ll step into the cold morning darkness. Even after we’ve completed our walk, showered and dressed, pouring that first cup of coffee, the eastern sky will barely show a hint of impending dawn.

We’re about to turn the astronomical corner. Summer officially arrives Saturday, and in a few short weeks, the days will begin to grow noticeably shorter.

The thought of crisp fall mornings, of wood smoke in the air ... they have their appeal. But we also know what inevitably follows.

Early on a recent morning, I pulled into the access of an area lake delighted to discover it was empty, that I was the first person to arrive. After launching the boat and parking my pick-up, I strolled down to the dock where my boat was moored.

With no one behind me waiting to launch, I lingered for a few minutes, sipping my coffee, admiring the lake that for the moment, I had all to myself.

And felt pretty darned healthy, wealthy and wise.

ter successfully. They are considered biennial or short-lived perennials and the newer cultivars are sometimes just grown as annuals. Coneflowers are considered staples in prairie and wild flower gardens as well as being used extensively in beds and borders.

They grow nicely in containers and they are splendid cut flowers.

These plants all bloom for about two months, attracting birds and butterflies to the garden. Chickadees and goldfinches like to perch on top to eat the seeds. Rabbits and deer don’t find these plants very tasty.

Wonderful, free-flowering rudbeckias and their relatives are stunning beauties in any garden. Add a water feature and sit back and enjoy the butterflies and birds that come to visit.

The new SW Series cable drive unit has been designed to make your life easier – more freedom in installation location, effective operation and minimal maintenance. This unique design allows lateral movement of the drive as the cable is being wrapped around the rotating drum. The coiling is made without stress and without excessive friction – which is usually the cause of premature wear of the equipment and cable.

tablespoons of olive oil as they’re cooking, and let the eggs cook until they’re slightly firm, about two minutes. Fold the eggs over once to create your omelet and enjoy.

■ Watermelon and Goat Cheese 1/2 watermelon, sliced Pinch of kosher salt 1 lime, halved 1 cup goat cheese Cracked black pepper 1/2 cup toasted cashews 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Season the watermelon with salt and lime juice. Lay the watermelon on a plate and crumble goat cheese all over it, along with the black pepper, cashews and olive oil.

■ Pounded Pork Schnitzel Four to six 5-ounce pieces boneless pork shoulder, pounded between sheets of plastic wrap into steaks about 1/4 inch thick Salt and freshly ground black pepper About 1 cup vegetable oil Breading 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 eggs, beaten 1 cup panko bread crumbs Arugula Salad Topping 3 cups wild arugula 1 lemon Salt and freshly ground black pepper Really good extra virgin olive oil Line a cookie sheet with paper towels.

Season the pork steaks with salt and pepper. Set out the flour, eggs and panko bread crumbs in three separate shallow bowls, in that order. Place the pork steaks one by one in the flour, dusting them all over. Then dip them in the eggs (coating them thoroughly), and then in the panko (coating them thoroughly), making sure to pat down the crust.

Place on wire rack to rest a few minutes.

Place a large skillet over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to come about a quarter of the way up.

When the oil is just under smoking hot, add the schnitzel and then constantly move it around, shaking the pan to swirl the oil over, around and on top of the pork. This little bit of wrist action will create a perfect crust.

Cookbook Corner

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent Reading “L.A. Son: My Life, My City, My Food” by chef Roy Choi (HarperCollins books) is a little like visiting Los Angeles itself: eclectic, international, full of fascinating characters, teeming with great restaurants, even a little seedy at times, with a surprise around every corner. It’s a culinary journey through the life and mind of Roy Choi, the acclaimed Korean-American chef whose fusion of Asian and Southwestern styles of cooking is legendary.

Raised in his parents’ Korean restaurant but heavily influenced by his all-American upbringing, Choi invented the Korean taco and helped change the face of the Los Angeles street food scene. His cookbook features 85 recipes as well as lots of spicy writing and photos. Here are some sample dishes to get you thinking “outside the box” this summer.

■ Coconut Rice 2 1/2 cups jasmine rice 1/2 cup coconut milk 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 2 tablespoons julienned peeled fresh ginger 2 cups water 3 1/2 cups chicken stock Garnish: Limes, chopped papaya Rinse the rice thoroughly, at least five times, until the water runs clear.

In a medium-size pot with a tight-fitting lid, combine the coconut milk, salt, ginger, water and stock. Add the rice, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, covered, for 12 to 15 minutes, until cooked. Fluff it up and serve with limes and fresh papaya.

■ Zucchini Fritter Omelet 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 2 medium zucchini, grated Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 teaspoon butter 2 eggs, whisked Heat a pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of the oil. Place the grated zucchini in a single layer in the pan and cook until it gets a little color, about three minutes. Flip. Season the zucchini with the salt and pepper, then add the butter Once the butter begins to brown slightly, pour the whisked eggs over the zucchini in the pan and cook. Drizzle in the other 2

ELITE SERIES ROTA-DISC CORNHEADS GENERATIONS AHEAD OF THE COMPETITION

1) Slices stalks vertically with 15 serrated discs. No swing blades 2) Ground speed and moister have very little effect on material size.

3) Much lower horse power requirements than competition.

4) Corn head driven with drive shafts and gear boxes. No chain and sprockets like the competition.

5) Aluminum alloy gear boxes to reduce weight and dissipate heat.

6) Self-tightening gathering chains.

7) Double acting stripper plates with welding on hardened edge.

8) Large diameter auger that turn slower, reducing ear loss.

9) Corn stalk stubble in field is splintered to reduce tire damage if driven over.

10) Optional Integrated Crop Sweeper and End Row Augers for improved crop.

By and byway

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondents Tim King (story) and Jan King (photo)

W

hen the Point Douglas to Superior military road was built in the 1850s it was the first road between Point Douglas, Minn., at the confluence of the St. Croix and Mississippi, and the town of Superior, Wis., on Lake Superior. The road builders cut the road across dozens of then nameless streams and through millions of acres of swamp and forest.

Today you can follow large portions of the old military road as you drive the 124-mile St. Croix Scenic Byway and its numerous historic backways.

The St. Croix Scenic Byway starts in Washington County, Minn., at what is now Point Douglas Park, and winds across county, state and U.S. highways and over rivers now named Sunrise, Rock, Rush, Trout and many others, to Askov, Minn., in Pine County.

The scenic byway has five districts. From the south they are the Stage Coach Trail, Sawmill, Immigrant Trail, Nevers Place and the White Pines District. Each district has enough vistas, historical buildings and markers, and interesting side trips to keep an inquisitive tourist busy for days. We spent a day and a half exploring the Nevers Place District, which begins near the town of Taylors Falls, Minn., on the St. Croix River.

Coming into Taylors Falls is like coming out of a mountain pass.

The town, which is one of Minnesota’s oldest, is picturesque and has a cafe with a nice view of the St. Croix. There is a historic district with buildings from the 1850s, two nearby state parks and a busy highway bridge into Wisconsin. From there the byway heads north on State Highway 95 and then turns onto County Road 16.

Here are your last views of the St. Croix River unless you take a side trip to Wild River State Park.

You can also choose to take an unpaved backway called River Road.

This is a scenic segment of the old military road that leads you to the Sunrise River and the village of Sunrise, Minn. Sunrise, founded in 1856, is the birthplace of actor Richard Widmark. Here you can go tubing on the river and have pizza in an old bank building.

Not far from Sunrise, on another backway, is the historic Swedish village of Almelund, Minn., and the Amador Heritage Center. We finished our day with an exploration of sections of the old military road near Rock Creek and with dinner at the historic Grant House Inn in Rush City, Minn.
