For some reason, one of us asked how to apologize in German. What followed was a solid five minutes of seven Minnesotans attempting to pronounce the word entschuldigung.

By Tom Royer who likely decided this group of tourists constantly begging each others’ pardon had suffered some sort of concussion en masse earlier in the day, perhaps over breakfast.

If our three wonderful Swiss hosts were embarrassed by any “ugly American” idiocy displayed over the course of our two-week family vacation, they were kind enough not to say anything. Not in English, anyway.

In fact, before I go any further, I must note that our hosts — Monika, Marcel, and their daughter Marina — were kind, generous and patient beyond measure.

(Marina was an exchange student with my in-laws two years ago, in case you’re wondering about our connection to these lovely folks.)

They opened their home in the beautiful northern village of Uhwiesen to us for the opening and closing days of our trip, and often traveled with us during the days in between, acting as our personal tour guides.

Their efforts as translators, transit schedule decipherers, hotel and event reservers, luggage coordinators and cultural senseis were invaluable. Monika, Marcel and Marina could have used their vacation time to do anything, and they spent it with us.

Without them, who knows what we might have been saying to each other at lunch.

■ My Top 10 Observations about Switzerland 1. You think we’ve got cultural clashes in the United States? Do you gripe about how Americans should speak English when you see an advertisement in Spanish? I tell you what: we’ve got nothing on Switzerland.

Swiss German is the most widely spoken language there. It’s a slightly modified dialect of what their neighbors speak across their northern border, up in Deutsch-

Switzerland a melting pot of cheese, not people LAND MINDS, from pg. 2 land. English is even widely understood, the price many Europeans pay to be part of the international business community.

But if you want to make sure your waiter gets your order right in the sunny southeastern state of Ticino, you’d better know Italian. And if you plan to successfully navigate the shops along Lake Geneva, you may be out of luck without a French-to-English dictionary handy.

Far from being a melting pot, Switzerland feels more like three entirely different countries all smushed together. The Swiss Confederation traces it origin to Aug. 1, 1291 as a small collection of states looking to trade freely and consolidate defenses. It continued to grow over the years to its current 26 states, the last few jumping ship from France in the 19th century.

The Swiss seem united as a country not so much culturally, but rather politically — both internally, with their direct democracy, and externally, with their famed independence.

2. Speaking of melting pots, fondue is amazing.

3. More broadly, anything with cheese is amazing and nearly every traditional meal in Switzerland involves large amounts of it. They have all four major food groups well-

covered: cheese with bread, cheese with meat, cheese with potatoes, and cheese with wine.

4. I’m much more of a beer guy than a wine guy. Considering our proximity to Germany, I expected to find a great selection of brews wherever we went.

Interestingly, most restaurant menus listed just two options: one alcoholic beer, and one non-alcoholic.

The wine lists, by contrast, were quite extensive. I cannot comment on any vintage’s flavor, or body, or sugar content, or je ne sais quoi because I never sampled any, but I’m told that if you want to drink Swiss wine you pretty much need to travel there. They make a lot of wine, and they drink a lot of wine — exports are rare.

5. Continuing with the food-anddrink theme, twice during our trip I ordered what I would consider to be American cuisine. The first was an erdbeere (strawberry) milkshake in Zurich, advertised as “American-style.”

It was quite tasty, but of a very runny consistency that I’d never experienced anywhere in this country before.

The second was a hamburger and pomme frites (french fries) in Lausanne. This was definitely not something you’re going to find at any U.S. fast food joint. The patty was massive and perfectly cooked, and instead of lettuce and tomatoes was topped with

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

U.S. Department of Agriculture Minnesota Farm Service Agency Executive Director, Debra Crusoe, announced Aug. 11 that Conservation Reserve Program acres in seven Minnesota counties have been authorized for emergency haying and grazing use due to excessive precipitation that has caused a severe shortage of available forage for livestock producers.

“Additional grazing acres and forage will now be available to Additional help livestock producgrazing acres ers recover from the and forage will severe shortage of fornow be availage, particularly in able to help livesouth-central Minnesota,” said Crusoe. stock producers “This is good news for recover from the livestock producers in severe shortage the region, and comes of forage, parat a very critical time ticularly in when many livestock south-central producers are facing the decision of whether Minnesota. or not to liquidate their herds.”

— Debra Crusoe Minnesota counties approved for CRP emergency haying and grazing include: Carver, Kittson, Le Sueur, McLeod, Rock, Roseau and Sibley. These counties experienced a 140 percent or greater average precipitation from March through mid-July of 2014 and sustained a 40 percent or greater loss of available feed as a result of the substantial precipitation.

Emergency haying and grazing of CRP may only be conducted on specific, eligible conservation practices and is limited to 50 percent of the field for haying or 75 percent of the field for grazing.

To initiate emergency haying and grazing, producers must contact their local FSA office to apply before any haying or grazing begins and producers must sign a modified conservation plan with the Natural Resources Conservation Service to allow for haying and grazing practices. Fields having or located near environmentally sensitive areas may have additional restrictions placed on haying and grazing activities.

Haying or grazing is not allowed within 120 feet of a stream or other permanent water body or on acres devoted to trees.

Emergency haying ends Aug. 31, 2014 and the bales must be removed from CRP acres by Sept. 15, 2014.

Emergency grazing ends Sept. 30, 2014. In addition to emergency CRP haying and grazing authorization, Crusoe reports that Rock County in Minnesota recently received a Secretarial Disaster Declaration for heavy precipitation, flooding, and hail. Contiguous counties include Murray, Pipestone, and Nobles.

Producers in these four designated counties are now eligible to apply for FSA’s emergency loans.

For more information, contact the Minnesota FSA State Office at (651) 602-7712.

Agriculture, communities and nature tightly woven

LAND MINDS, from pg. 4 zucchini, eggplant and an exotic mystery sauce. One dainty dish held two thick-cut slices of bacon as an optional topping; another contained a side salad and cherry tomato. The fries were tiny matchsticks with plain, oldfashioned ketchup on the side. Surprisingly, the one thing missing from the burger? Cheese.

6. If you’re travelling to Switzerland, either pack plenty of clothes, bring tiny packets of laundry soap, or save up plenty of Swiss francs for expensive hotel laundry service because one thing you’ll be hardpressed to find is a laundromat. You’re also not going to find a washcloth in any hotel, so pack your own.

7. Get a pass and take the train.

Sure, driving is fun and you’re in control, and you get to leave whenever you want, and can go anywhere you want, but you’ll probably go bonkers doing it.

City streets are narrow, winding, and filled with people, buses, livestock.

tacular. Trains connect practically every city in the country on precise schedules, with clean cars and quiet, smooth rides. Bright yellow Post Buses will take you all throughout the large cities, and high into remote villages.

Ferry boats cross the glassy lengths of many large lakes. Scenic trains skirt around and tunnel through towering mountains and idyllic valleys.

8. The cultural variety of Switzerland makes you feel sometimes as if you’re in an entirely different country. The geo-political variety of Switzerland makes you sometimes actually be in a

different country, when simply travelling from one city or village to another.

For instance, on a rail trip taking us from Zermatt to Locarno, our train had a stop in Domodossola, Italy.

Driving around the countryside near the northern city of Schaffhausen, which borders the Rhein River, we passed in and out of Germany several times without needing to show a single passport. In fact, the nearby German town of Büsingen, pop. 1,450, is on three square miles of land entirely surrounded by Switzerland. Technically the residents’ legal tender is the Euro, but everyone uses Swiss francs. Their local football (a.k.a. soccer) team plays in the Swiss Football League.

9. Americans always try to put on a good fireworks demonstration for our Fourth of July celebrations, but I’ve got to tell you... I’ve never seen a national celebratory fireworks show like I did in the community of Zermatt, Switzerland — at the foot of the Matterhorn — on Aug. 1.

They didn’t simply fire a bunch of bright and noisy rockets into the sky. No, they presented multiple courses on a series of explosive themes. Absolutely stunning stuff. Words cannot adequately describe, so I’ll stop, other than to say that as a nation they’ve got about a 500-year headstart on the United States, so maybe I shouldn’t try to make comparisons.

10. Finally, a quick note about Swiss agriculture. What most caught my eye was the myriad of small plots, jumbled together and almost integrated with the many small villages. The mountainous terrain is such that the thousand-acre fields we’ve grown accustomed to seeing in Minnesota and Iowa simply aren’t possible.

So instead you’ll see a few acres of wheat, next to a few acres of alfalfa, next to a few acres of sugar beets, next to a few acres of grapes, next to a few acres of apples ... on every hillside and valley, all butted up against pastures

full of bell-ringing dairy cows, snaking streams, thick forests, and cobblestonestreet villages.

It’s “old-fashioned,” it’s sustainable, it’s stunningly gorgeous... and, on the surface anyway, it makes the modern agricultural progressiveness we see outside our windows every day seem a bit ugly, to be honest.

■ One of my first acts as the new managing editor of The Land was to disappear for two weeks on this Switzerland adventure and dump all of my duties and responsibilities upon the shoulders of others, offering them no way to contact me by phone nor e-mail. So a few notes of appreciation are in order.

Kristin Kveno happily agreed to return to The Land during our current editorial staff transition, perhaps without fully considering what would be thrown her way while I was overseas. She put in a ton of hours to get the paper out, and I thank her for her dedication.

Helping her out were Sarah Johnson (of “Cookbook Corner” fame) and Free Press copy editor Josie Belina. Many thanks to them as well for coming to the aid of this fine publication.

And of course, the entire Land staff always comes together, particularly during “crunch times” such the busy Farmfest season, to back each other up.

When there are fewer hands available, the hands we have always manage to work a little harder for our readers and advertisers.

Next year I’ll be sure not to schedule vacation for early August. I’m not entirely sure whether anyone really missed having me around, but if I made things at all challenging for The Land family the past few weeks, all I can say is… entschuldigung.

The massive stockpile bends WTO rules two ways.

While any amount of stocks are permitted, those stocks must be bought at market prices and, when distributed, all must be sold at market prices. India does neither.

Worse, at least to the WTO’s biggest ag exporters, the European Union and the United States., no one sees how India can drain its vast stocks without export subsidies that will drain today’s already cheap global grain prices even more.

That means today’s trade talkers again are debating on how nations view their right to produce, promote and protect their citizens’ access to food. This, of course, is not the first time Doha is stuck in the farm mud nor will it be last time.

But it may be high time the WTO moves away from its one-size-fits-all idea of global food production and ag trade to allow regional deals to be negotiated among willing partners.

After all, how does one global organization tell any duly-elected national leader — in this instance, the leader of the nation that is home to one-third of the world’s poorest — how and what the leader can do to feed the sovereign people?

Without the need to boil the noodles, the prep time and effort were considerably diminished. I used the last of the homemade spaghetti sauce we froze last summer, but a good quality store-bought sauce works fine, too. This lasagna was a little on the bland side, but still rated four out of four stars from the Johnson clan.

Simple Sausage Lasagna Submitted by Jeanne Schumann 1 pound bulk pork sausage (Italian is good too) 1 jar (26 ounces) spaghetti sauce 1⁄2 cup water 2 eggs, beaten 1 carton (24 ounces) cottage cheese

1/3 cup Parmesan cheese 1 to 2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes 1⁄2 teaspoon each garlic powder, pepper, dried basil and oregano 3 cups (12 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese 9 uncooked lasagna noodles In large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the spaghetti sauce and water. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley and seasonings.

In the front of the new cookbook “Garden of Eatin’” from St. John’s Lutheran Church in Hastings Minn., Pastor Jon Zimpelmann calls the book “an endless supply of enjoyment.” What a great way to describe a good cookbook. Not only is it full of flavors and creativity and ingenuity and love; it also provides limitless inspiration for your mind and a balm for your weary soul on those days when nothing seems to go right. Food makes us happy, and Pastor Zimpelmann says that’s just fine by God. If you can’t find inspiration in the 600-plus hometown recipes in this cookbook, you’ll not find it anywhere. Here are some samples from this high-qualty collection.

■ It’s not necessary to deep-fry jalapeno poppers to get those great creamy-spicy-crunchy sensations you love.

This recipe calls for rolling them in crisp panko bread crumbs and then baking them to molten-cheese deliciousness.

Baked Jalapeno Poppers Submitted by Naomi Senter 12 fresh jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise, stems and seeds removed 6 ounces cream cheese, softened 1 1⁄2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese 1⁄2 teaspoon cumin 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste 2 eggs 2 tablespoons milk 1 cup panko crumbs 1⁄2 cup flour In a bowl, cream together cream cheese, Monterey Jack, cumin and cayenne. In a small bowl, beat eggs and milk. Put panko crumbs and flour each in separate shallow dishes and season with salt and pepper.

Spread 1 tablespoon of cheese mixture into the middle of each jalapeno half. One at a time, dredge in flour, dip into the egg mixture, and dredge in panko crumbs. Place coated peppers, cut side up, on a greased baking sheet and bake about 30 minutes at 350 F or until filling is runny.

■ Warm, spiced nuts are one of life’s greatest pleasures. Do yourself a “flavor” and make some. This recipe uses almonds, but other nuts (such as cashews, walnuts or pecans) would be delectable as well.

Spicy Almonds Submitted by Miranda Sieh 3 tablespoons canola oil 2 cups whole, blanched almonds 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar 1 1⁄2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 1⁄2 teaspoons ground cumin 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the almonds and sprinkle the half-cup of sugar over them. Saute until the almonds become golden brown and the sugar caramelizes. Remove the almonds from the pan and toss in a bowl with the salt, cumin, pepper flakes and the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container.

Bringing new life to barns that need a little help

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent Old barns dot the countryside with a derelict splendor that cannot be equaled by contemporary farm buildings. Many we have watched through the years as they slowly collapsed.

Barn Doctors, Inc. of Fulda, Minn.,

is in the business of seeing that old barns don’t disappear and returning them to their original splendor.

“It’s all I’ve ever done,” said Aaron Barritt of his work in restoring buildings.

He purchased the business from his parents 10 years ago. While he does

Aaron Barritt says he won’t run out of barn restoration jobs any time soon.

repair pole sheds and can work on other buildings, the business is called Barn Doctors because 85 percent of his work is restoring barns.

“We don’t build any new,” he said, though when he is done some barns are basically new buildings built on the original frame, and even some of that may have been replaced.

Barritt and his crews cover all of Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, part of Wisconsin and “a lot of Iowa.” He is often working in Iowa because the Iowa Barn Foundation has a grant program that will pay a portion of the cost when certain criteria are met. He worked on a couple in South Dakota that the state historical society helped pay for.

In Minnesota, you have to be willing to invest your own money.

“It’s amazing the young people that want to save them anymore, people in their 30s,” he said. “I’m bidding one now for a young woman who is going to make it into a place for weddings and stuff.”

Occasionally Barritt works on a barn that still has an agricultural use, but not often.

“People’s reasons for fixing them up are all different,” he said. “A lot of it is the family had the farm, granddad built the barn, some sentimental reason. We did one over by Dell Rapids, S.D. where the man was just buying the place and was going to build a new house, but he wanted to keep the look of the barn on the place.”

He has restored barns to be used as gathering places, a woodworking shop and a basketball court.

A complete restoration usually starts

with jacking up the building and putting in a new foundation, he said, unless the building is leaning so much it must first be straightened. Once it is stable, they work their way up with new siding, windows, doors and new roof. One they had to replace the whole hayloft with new beams and floors.

While Barn Doctors can fix most anything, occasionally Barritt determines it is just not worth it.

“I have one right now, I hate to call the owner and tell her there’s no way you can fix this. It would be easier to tear it down and build an identical one.”

Rot is usually the culprit that makes a barn not worth restoring. Just about any other condition Barritt can deal with.

He can also restore it to its original look. Gary and Marj Becker of Marshall praised Barritt’s ability to match original siding and hardware. He will build doors and exterior features to match the original.

Friends of Minnesota Barns is an organization that encourages restoration and assists with information, and they give out Barn of the Year awards. In 2009, two barns that Barritt had restored received Barn of the Year and runner-up in the Non-Farm Use Category.

When asked if there is a sense of satisfaction in seeing a dilapidated barn restored to new condition, Barritt answers with a simple, “Yup.” But you can tell its pride like that of a parent whose child has grown to be a successful adult.

Barritt’s crew once went way out of its territory to Cape Girardeau, Mo. An elderly man, who got Barritt’s name from the Iowa Barn Foundation, called and begged him to come down and repair a barn built in 1850 off of which the wind had ripped the roof.

“We completely redid the barn,” Barritt said.

He went the extra mile and got cypress siding from Kentucky, and even built a cupola.

“He couldn’t believe it was his barn,” Barritt said. “He had tears in his eyes.”

Barn Doctors does not need to go that far for work, at least not anytime soon.

Barritt is running three crews this summer, and still won’t get caught up.

“I’ve probably got 75 barns to do right now,” he said.

Barn again — When building new just won’t do

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent Gary and Marj Becker had their eye on four acres of land in the middle of Marshall. It was what remained of the Neuse farm.

Mr. and Mrs. Neuse sold the land around them for development, but continued to live on the building site, which had a block chicken house and a wooden barn along with the house. Even after her husband’s death, Mrs. Neuse continued to make it her home until she moved to be closer to family in 2003.

When it came up for sale, the Beckers purchased it.

“And then we said, Now what are we going to do?” said Marj Becker.

They had not intended to live there, but subdividing it into lots did not seem to work.

“It took on a life of its own when we saw the barn,” she said, “and Gary needed a shop.”

The Beckers owned Becker Iron and Metal and were anticipating retirement.

Gary was doing woodworking in a small workshop in a one-car garage, rather cramped for building cabinets and furniture and the things he liked to do.

One thought led to another with the result that they sold the Neuse house and had it moved off, built a new house, turned the chicken house into a potting shed, and went to work on the barn.

“There are four acres, so we thought leaving the barn wouldn’t be a problem,” Marj said.

“I knew what the purpose was going to be, so we set it up with that purpose in mind,” Gary said.

That purpose was to make it his woodworking shop. What they didn’t know was what a great challenge it would be.

“When the cows walked out for the last time, the Neuse family just shut the doors,” Marj said. “There was still hay in the hayloft.”

Unused, the building began to deteriorate. It sat on an old stone foundation. The roof of the lean-to had fallen in and a tree was growing up inside.

They hired Aaron Barritt of Barn Doctors, Inc. to do the restoration. The

“The only thing that’s not authentic is the wood windows were replaced with vinyl clad windows,” Dave Logan Dave said.

They also added three exterior doors into the horse bays. Other than that, the barn looks as it did after being rebuilt following a fire in 1931. Newspaper photos provided the needed information.

The interior is open for storage. The horse bays are still there, but the stanchions and other interior features had been removed years before. The lean-to still is used as shelter for two horses.

The story that Logan has heard about the big white star is that the owner who built the barn had some relationship with North Star Insurance, so he had it painted there.

Since there is no financial assistance for barn restoration in Minnesota, one needs to be willing and able to make a substantial financial investment. And it’s not just the initial investment.

“You have to be willing to keep it in nice shape if you invest that much money,” Dave said.

While many barns are disappearing from the countryside, these two couples, with the help of Barn Doctors, Inc., have been willing and able to invest the money to restore two historic structures, the Logan barn built

in 1931, and the Becker barn built in the early 1900s.

per acre (in the district),” Wilts said.

He and his brother Duane toured farms that were as big as 4,000 acres with 20 different crops grown each year, and farms that planted 25 acres of sugar beets. They also got to tour the American Crystal Hybrids seed processing facility. Wilts called his time in Oregon “good, very good.”

He returned home on Aug. 9, just in time for three-fourths to one and a quarter inches of precipitation at the farm. “It was perfect rain,” Wilts said.

“We were dry but the rain helped.”

Cooler temperatures have been advantageous — it’s “cool enough that we haven’t had to spray fungicide on our sugar beets.” Wilts usually sprays the first round of fungicide on the sugar beets in mid to late July. Lower temps are keeping the fungus as bay for now.

Wilts said he “tried to combine wheat today but it was too wet,” and hoped to give it another try in a few days. Normally he is finished with the wheat harvest by now but this year’s late, wet start delayed everything.

Aphids haven’t been a problem so far, but Wilts plans on keeping an eye on the fields and is ready to spray should the need arise.

Meanwhile, he’s ready for a little fishing adventure with friends; they’ll be “going to Canada on a fly-in fishing trip to fish for a week.” They had “super good luck last year,” Wilts said, and he’s hoping that continues again this time.

Good fishing, good travels, and hopefully a good crop come harvest. “Everything is looking, pretty good,” he said.

The Hoffmans New Ulm, Minn.

Another Farmfest has come and gone and Don Hoffman was there to take in the sights and sounds of it all. The Land spoke with Hoffman Don Hoffman on Aug. 8; he reported that ag show’s 2014 edition had a “pretty average crowd, I thought.”

The weather was ideal for wandering Farmfest’s grounds on Aug. 6 when Hoffman attended, though he sort of wished it hadn’t been — some rain that day, or any day for that matter, would have been a welcomed sight.

“We are very much praying for rain,” he said.

As for the crops, “the sand spots are junk now,” said Hoffman, “but the rest pretty much looks OK.” Hoffman grows full-season silage corn and it’s currently “putting ears on and pollinating.” He plants between 108- and 111-day corn, and this year’s crop is behind schedule. “I wouldn’t want to combine this corn,” he said.

Instead, it “heads for the chopper, period.” Hoffman usually chops around late August into early September; this year he predicted he wouldn’t be chopping until at least Sept. 15.

The soybeans, meanwhile, are “very average,” Hoffman said, with “some really good spots in the field and very bad spots in the field.” He was able to plant the beans on time and is happy that “the stand is very good.” He hadn’t

If you weren’t at Hagen farm Aug. 2 you missed one heck of a party.

Jim Hagen and his bride, Christy, cele- Jim Hagen brated their wedding with a reception at the farm with 150 of their closest family and friends.

When The Land spoke with Hagen Aug. 7 he was happy to report that it definitely was a good party and that the “weather was perfect.”

Hagen had his soybean field aerial sprayed by Tim Steier on July 31 for aphids, which helped ensure that the bugs stayed away from the reception.

“Sprayed all beans for aphids and fungicide,” he said.

The beans look “real good,” he said, and are still flowering and podding.

Their farm “got a quarter to an inch last week. ... If we got some more rain it will be good.”

The corn, too, could use some rain, Hagen said, although it has “all pollinated real well — to the tip of the ear.”

Hagen and his wife decided to take in a Minnesota Vikings preseason game Aug. 8 at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis and will be heading to the Iowa State Fair to take that in as well. And if all of that wasn’t enough excitement, he said that “a new combine showed up (for the farm).” Fun outings and new farm toys all make for a good time.

Hagen said the crops are “90 percent good to excellent, but we need more rain.” He recalled that “1988 was our last real drought,” a year that, for farming purposes, he does not care to repeat. ❖

Jared Thronson’s first winter wheat harvest is officially in the books. When The Land spoke with Thronson Aug. 7 he reported that “the Jared Thronson combine and everything went good.”

His 60 acres took two days to combine and averaged 45 bushels per acre, with 14 percent moisture and 11.5 percent protein. Thronson was happy with the results as it was “on ground that just got out of CRP (Conservation Reserve Program).”

On Aug. 3 he was spraying soybeans due to some weeds coming back, and also sprayed one field for soybean aphids. Overall, he said, the beans look “pretty good,” but the field on sandy ground was “getting on the dry side.”

A 50 percent chance of precipitation was forecasted for Sunday, and Thronson hoped it truly was coming. “We could use a good half inch of rain.”

Corn has “all been tasseled out for at least a week,” he said. “It’s coming along pretty good.” Meanwhile, the spring wheat “is starting to lighten up and turn.” Thronson estimated that he was at least a week and a half to two weeks from spraying Roundup on it.

He will continue to work on machinery and do some ditching in the winter wheat field; he had already chisel plowed that field.

Thronson is getting ready to spend a little “down time”in Detroit Lakes,Minn., taking in the experience known as WE Fest. It’s not all work and no play for Thronson — after a successful winter wheat harvest there’s cause for celebration.

WORTHINGTON, Minn. — The federal government predicts Minnesota farmers will produce 1.34 billion bushels of corn this year, up 40 million bushels from last year, yet bad weather early in the season and low prices will put the squeeze on profits for the state’s producers.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s outlook for Minnesota also predicts corn yields averaging 168 bushels per acre, up eight bushels from 2013. But that’s 20 bushels less than what Iowa and Illinois producers are expected to harvest. Minnesota soybean production is forecast at 312 million bushels, up 15 percent from last year. The average soybean yield is expected to be 42 bushels per acre, one bushel more than 2013.

The data was part of a national fore-

cast released Aug. 12 for a recordbreaking corn harvest of 14 billion bushels. The USDA also said soybean production nationwide also will set a new record of 3.8 billion bushels.

But up to a foot of rain fell in parts Minnesota in June, drowning out parts of a crop that got planted late in many areas. Add in some hail damage, and the weather hurt Minnesota corn just enough to turn a potential record harvest into an average or a little-aboveaverage crop.

If corn prices stay in the current range of $3 to $4, most farmers will lose money on this year’s crop, University of Minnesota grain marketing specialist Ed Usset said.

This article was distributed by the Associated Press. ❖

Slats versus deep bedding? Cow comfort is key An added touch on the slat barn is a rubber covering installed on the slats. “Cattle comfort is excellent. We decided on rubber from the get-go even though costs are bigger. Payback looks good on the rubber,” he said. A good warranty for at least a 10year period, Engen mentioned that some barns have rubber covered slats now into their 17th year. “So hopefully the rubber will last the life of the slats.”

Not a big issue, but perhaps important if time is critical, is the simple fact that the permitting process on their total confinement, slat-floored structure wasn’t an issue.

“Any time you present a plan which contains everything — manure, animals and traffic — it’s just that much easier. An open building with open yard is more a challenge when it comes to permits,” Engen said.

Cattle in the Engen operation were sizeable already in early July. That’s because these critters are heading for Creekstone Packing, Arkansas City,

Kan. “These are scheduled to go out the first week in August weighing about 1,525 pounds. Usually we’re in the 1,400-lb. range but this is the size they want,” he said, noting also “exclusively black cattle” is what Creekstone Packing handles. Creekstone pays the trucking.

His new confinement facility has four pens, 160head per pen.

“We started with 160-head per pen and even now after a feeding period, they’ll all be laying down in comfort.,” Engen said. “Yes, there’s always some social structure amongst a bunch of cattle but we walk the pens each day. We’ll need a few more bunches of cattle through both systems before we have data as to which is generating the best bottom dollar.

“But so far we’re feeling good about this slat floored structure with rubber. And apparently so are the cattle,” Engen said. ❖

THE LAND, AUGUST 22, 2014

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Sure, the debate continues as to which is the better for feeding cattle — deep bedding or slats. Redwood County (Minn.) cattle feeder Dave Engen decided the best way to find out was to try both systems.

Participants on the July 8 Minnesota State Cattlemen’s Association summer tour hosted by Redwood County Cattlemen checked out both structures at Double Creek Farm, the Engen operation.

The slat barn, 44 feet wide and 363 feet long, is new, housing its first batch of cattle this season. In a brief interview with The Land, Engen said, “We hear cattle in the slat barn are going to do better because of improved feed efficiency and more comfort. We hope so because our upfront investment on the slat barn definitely cost most per head capacity.”

Their other structure is open front, deep bedding on concrete. It measures 48 feet wide by 234 feet long and has a 350-head capacity.

Bin boom! Grain storage sales setting new records

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Harvest this fall has the potential to be rather chaotic.

Railcars for moving grain continue to be practically non-existent for many elevators. Propane for drying grain could be an issue since the primary pipeline for moving propane into Minnesota is moving crude oil. And there is still a large amount of 2013 crop still in storage, both at country elevators and on farms.

One business not the least bit stifled, however, is the sale of new grain bins.

Thanks to stronger corn and soybean prices the past four years, this industry kept chalking up new sales records each year. Even with $3 corn, it apparently isn’t slowing down — in fact that’s a major motivator: Farmers will store rather than sell.

Ross Christianson at the Westeel exhibit at the recent Farmfest wasn’t bashful about business.

“Yes, this business is still booming,” he said.

“We’re having a record-breaking year, smashing all of our previous sales. It seems everybody and their brother needs a bin.”

Westeel manufactures in Manitoba, Canada, with a major warehouse in Fargo, N.D. Christianson, who lives at Lake Park, Minn., covers Montana, the Dakotas, Minnesota and Wisconsin. They also sell into Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and the eastern Cornbelt.

Asked Aug. 7 how long it would take to get a bin delivered and erected, Christianson said it would be mid-October at the earliest. Their display bin at Farmfest was a 3007, meaning 30 foot in diameter

We’re having a recordbreaking year, smashing all of our previous sales. It seems everybody and their brother needs a bin.

and seven tiers high with a 16,000-bushel capacity and aeration floor.

From start to finish, including the concrete work plus accessories like aeration floor, sweep, staircase and ladder, the cost is $1.90-$2 per bushel. Their most common farm size currently is a 3606, a 25,000-bushel structure, but that is rapidly becoming the smallest bin these days. “(Becoming) much more common is the 4809, a 56,000-bushel bin,” said Christianson. Once the concrete is poured, he said his best dealers with a six-man crew can get a bin up in 2 1⁄2 to 3 days.

The biggest farm bin so far for Westeel was a 690,000-bushel monstrosity erected on a North Dakota farm. Their goal is to soon be building 1-million-bushels bins for farm and commercial use.

Normal bin warranties are one-year, said Christianson, “but we don’t leave our customers behind. If they come with a problem that relates to engineering or such, we’ve covered bins up to 7-8 years old.”

A perforated floor is generally standard with every bin sale anymore. It’s a free-standing floor. Westeel sources their steel from different manufacturers depending upon the price of steel and delivery schedules.

BIN BOOM, from pg. 20 Derrick Rauen of V. R. Construction in Goodwin, S.D., explained the bin boom this way: “Your typical farmer isn’t running to the elevator during harvest.

They don’t want to wait behind a bunch of semis when they’re trying to pull out their crop.”

Concrete bunkers booming, too Also cashing in on the growing farm storage boom is Hanson Silos of Lake Lillian, Minn. Though they still erect a few vertical silos, their particular product is concrete bunkers with structures up to 12-feet tall and almost any width.

“Farmers want to control their own destiny as much as possible,” said Hanson silos president Matt Hanson. “This is particularly true as we grow into this new generation of agriculture. So when corn drops to three bucks and they don’t want to Matt Hanson sell, they shouldn’t have to. They should store and hold for a better market.”

That’s why flat storage in concrete bunkers is catching the favor of more and more growers, according to Hanson. “We can get them into big storage for easy money — about 50 cents a bushel,” he explained, indicating that so far this year the market has been crazy.

He said the beauty of precast is that it is fast. “We can get a new structure delivered and in place in a matter of just a few weeks.”

They sell across the Dakotas, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri and into Nebraska and Kansas, and apparently are selling fast. “If anyone is looking for work,” said Hanson, “call me because I can use more crews right now.”

Something new in the Hanson lineup is a strangelooking machine called Silo Pack, for use in bunker storage on either corn silage or haylage. It’s a 3-point hydraulic hookup for big tractors that conveniently packs silage.

“As dairy costs keep going up, especially feed inputs,” Hanson said, “the opportunity costs of cutting for silage versus selling the grain simply means taking better care of that forage product. So the combination of bunker storage and this Silo Packer gives you the opportunity for a better feed. The more you can pack, the better; this machine lets you do 50 lbs. per square inch.”

Also new with Hanson Silo are header trailers with some special engineering to handle the increasingly heavy combine heads with “stalk chompers.”

The biggest concrete corn bunker so far for Hanson Silo was a 3-million-bushel structure at Minnesota Falls, with 8-foot-high concrete panels and a 550-foot diameter.

Grain Outlook New contract lows for corn

Livestock Angles From bull to bear market

Grain Angles Land rental risks/inputs

The following market analysis is for the week ending Aug. 15.

CORN — The dominating force this week was the much anticipated U.S. Department of Agriculture August crop report which included the first survey based yield estimates for the 2014-15 crop. The report pushed corn into new contract lows, but for the rest of the week corn took a higher tack. The technical side ended the week on a strong note with a weekly key reversal higher.

It’s not that unusual for corn to have some sideways/higher moves in August, but I would expect easing markets if weather doesn’t PHYLLIS NYSTROM pose a threat into harvest.

CHS Hedging Inc. St. Paul Taking a look first at the old crop 2013-14 balance sheet, the USDA upped ethanol usage by 45 million bushels to 11.68 billion bushels and raised exports by 20 million to 1.92 billion bushels. This cut ending stocks by 65 million bushels to 1.181 billion bushels for old crop compared to the estimate of 1.24 billion bushels. The ending stocks to use ratio fell from 9.2 percent to 8.7 percent. While interesting, most believe the USDA will have to increase last year’s production number from 13.925 billion bushels. Now for the 2014-15 balance sheet, the USDA surprised everyone when they increased the corn yield only slightly, in fact it was under the lowest trade guess of 168.0 bushels per acre. The corn yield was pegged at just 167.4 bu./acre, only 2.1 bu./acre higher than the July estimate and well below the average trade estimate of 170.1 bu./acre.

This was still a record yield. Record ear populations were noted and the third highest ear weights. Minnesota’s yield was forecast at 168.0 bu./acre, with

The livestock markets appear to be going through a transformation from bull markets to bear markets as we moved into the first week of August. The question arises is this the real turn in these markets or only a false turn as previously experienced in the last several months. Time we answer this question.

As for the cattle market, the Russian boycott of agricultural products, which included beef, has sent the cattle futures tumbling after that announcement. This rapid decent in the futures prices resulted in two consecutive days of limit losses to end the week on Aug. 7. Many speculators and commodity funds were liquidating JOE TEALE long positions as technical signals Broker turned from positive to negative. Great Plains Commodity This entire event drew the attenAfton, Minn. tion of many fundamental traders to realize that the already weak demand may weaken even further as a result of the boycott by Russia. On top of this the beef cutouts began to relinquish some of their recent gains under moderate to slow product movement.

The cash cattle market by the end of the week ending Aug. 7 was slipping further after starting the week with a weak undertone. A concern has surfaced regarding the tonnage of beef that is currently being produced as weights have continued to move higher. This brings the idea that cattle have been held back because of the drop in grain prices and that fact that numbers have been declining forcing the packer to aggressively bid on cattle each week. At this juncture cattle feeders should reassess their price protection and approach the market with the idea of protection of their inventory.

The hog market has been on a slide for the past several weeks as numbers of hogs had been more

Grain producers have had tremendous success over the last several years during the period of high commodity prices. In conjunction, cash rental rates had climbed to record highs leading up to 2014; however, we’re now looking the lowest corn prices in nearly four years. Corn prices have decreased by almost 30 percent in just the last three months.

Overall, the Midwest is having near perfect weather conditions which is fueling expectations of a bumper crop come harvest time, meaning that we’re probably looking at further price deterioration as yield estimates increase.

A recent report from the Kansas City Fed showed that overall rental rates only dropped 2 percent from 2013 to 2014; however that was still the first decrease since 1999. With todays cash bids in the mid-to-low $3 range many producers’ 2014 cash flow budgets are being stressed, especially for those that haven’t previously locked in better prices.

With low expectations for prices to increase, farm operators should assess the risk potential of high dollar land rental rates before finalizing a 2015 land rental rate on new or existing farm land. It’s important to use: • realistic projected crop yields and prices • average costs of production for the farm operation, including machinery and facility overhead expenses • desired return to the farm operator’s labor and management If the land rental rate is much higher than breakSee JOHNSON, pg. 23

Consider flexible cash lease agreements

One alternative to a proposed high cash rental rate for 2015 may be for producers and landlords to consider flexible cash lease rental agreements. This allows the final cash rental rate to vary as crop yields and market prices vary or as gross revenue per acre exceeds established targets.

JOHNSON, from pg. 22 even levels, producers must try to negotiate a more reasonable rental rate or flexible agreement or face the difficult decision to let the land go.

By running different cash flow scenarios producers will be in a good position to know what they need to negotiate for 2015 rents. A strong working capital position may give producers a little more room to negotiate higher if necessary, although a weak working capital position may give little margin for error.

With this knowledge in hand, producers should begin discussions with their land owners ahead of harvest, with most looking for reduced rates. Hopefully land owners understand the current grain economics but, if not, it may be beneficial to outline the economics and the risks associated with putting in a crop.

It’s important not to assume the land owner is expecting a lower land rental rate as I’ve already seen a few land owners that were expecting higher rates for 2015. No matter what the expectations, it’s important to try and focus on the tangible discussion topics and be prepared to talk not only about commodity prices and rental rates, but also nutrient management, production practices and rent-to-value ratios.

the aftermath of the monthly crop report as November soybeans shot to a new contract low of $10.43 per bushel off the report, but as the week progressed another new low was set at $10.38 3⁄4 per bushel. Breaking down the balance sheet changes: 2013-14 imports were cut 5 million bushels to 80 million, exports jumped 20 million to 1.64 billion bushels, and residual use fell 25 million, resulting in unchanged ending stocks from the July report at 140 million bushels. The trade was anticipating a small decline to 136 million bushels. The USDA can make revisions to the 2013-14 production numbers on the September monthly report.

For the 2014-15 crop year, the yield inched up 0.2 bu./acre to a record 45.4 bu./acre (estimate 45.6 bu./acre), for a production increase of 16 million to a record breaking 3.816 billion bushels. This was below the prediction of 3.823 billion bushels. Minnesota’s bean yield came in at 42.0 bu./acre versus last year’s 41.0 bu./acre. Nothing was changed on the usage side. Ending stocks were up 15 million from last month’s 415 million bushel forecast to 430 million bushels. This compared to the trade estimate of 414 million bushels. The average farm price range dropped 15 cents to $9.35 to $11.35 per bushel.

OUTLOOK: For the week, November soybeans crumbled 32 3⁄4 cents lower to $10.52 per bushel in a weekly key reversal lower. This is a negative sign for the market and if rains occur as forecast, look for the downtrend to continue. The informal, unofficial survey mentioned in the corn comments, suggests producers have sold around 20 percent of this year’s coming bean crop. Additional sales will keep pressure on the market. November soybeans are forecast to trade with a “9” in front of them before we’re done if rains develop and help finish off the crop.

million acres. The bottom line implication is maybe corn acreage estimates from the USDA could be 1 to 2 million acres too high and bean acres 1 million too high. The FSA numbers do not include all planted acres and are updated monthly. I would not base my market opinions off the FSA numbers. For prevent plant, they published 1.54 million for corn (second lowest since 2009), beans 827,000 acres and wheat 1.36 million acres.

OUTLOOK: December corn tumbled to a new contract low of $3.58 per bushel immediately following the crop report before bouncing back to finish higher on the day in a reversal higher on the chart. December corn closed higher every day this week in a weekly key reversal higher. This sets the market up for possible further gains; however, the market expects the yield to grow larger on subsequent reports if the weather forecasts for mild temperatures and chances of rain come to fruition. This should limit upside potential.

When is low enough? Once all the negative news is in the market, and I’m not convinced it is yet. In an informal survey, growers are thought in general to have only sold 8 percent to 10 percent of their expected corn crop. This should put some pressure when bushels that are unable to be stored are sold into the market. For the balance of August, the December contract may be stuck in a $3.58 to $3.90 range, but if weather cooperates we probably closer to $3.40 per bushel. Next week is the ProFarmer crop tour and we’ll be watching it closely for yield checks.

For the week, September corn was up 14 cents at $3.65 3⁄4 and December corn rallied 13 1⁄2 cents to close at $3.77 per bushel.

This was up 172 million bushels from the July report and compared to the average pre-report projection of 14.253 billion bushels. On the usage side, feed was up 50 million bushels, ethanol 25 million higher, and exports were raised 25 million bushels. Overall, the ending stocks number rose just 7 million bushels from the July report to 1.808 billion bushels and versus guesses at 2.005 billion bushels. Ending stocks to use ratio was unchanged at 13.5 percent, but the average farm price was dropped a dime to a range of $3.55 to $4.25.

Prevent planting not an easy choice for farmers

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer He lived with a little bit of prevent planting in 2013, just enough to understand that it’s a bunch of potential confusion. But in 2014 prevent planting

became a major pain for lots of farmers. One of these guys was Mike Meulenar, the Carver County (Minn.) farmer who introduced me to the word “ineptocracy” last winter. I sat with Mike at a Rabo Bank dinner event in Olivia, Minn., on July 28. He chatted

on the challenges of getting (or rather, mostly not getting) his crops planted in 2014.

Said Meulenar, “One day between showers this spring I was just sitting and thinking about this farming business. In 1973, the first year I started farming with my Dad, we got totally hailed out. We thought we had good crop insurance but they told us we could use that crop for We could have silage. Corn without mudded this ears isn’t much for crop in but the silage. But we surshowers kept vived.” coming every He continued, few days. We “Then in 1988 the drought hit but did mud in again we survived. some crop and Last year we had our it looks terrible. first taste of prevent plant. Troublesome — Mike Meulenar but we worked around it. We do our own tiling and where we farm up in that Norwood/Young America area our tile trenches were wet last fall. Then we had this long winter that didn’t want to end; then a big snow the end of April. So this spring we really had some issues.”

He farms with his brother and nephew and simply said, “not planting a crop is really tough. I don’t know how many sheets of paper we went through.

Seems every day we would sit down and pencil it out again and it always came up better to not plant but instead take the crop insurance, save our APH (annual production history), save our yield history.

Prevent plant seemed to be the only way to get some black ink out of farming this year.”

Meulenar is a realist. “We could have mudded this crop in but the showers kept coming every few days.

We did mud in some crop and it looks terrible.”

Their first year of prevent planting was 2013 but that was only on 250 acres. This year there are lots of prevent planting acres in Carver County, including about 3,450 acres just for the Meulenar operation.

The estimate is that 30 percent of the county’s corn crop didn’t get planted this year. Official figures won’t be available until certification data is completed by all Carver County producers.

So what do you do with this land? “We started spraying just as soon as we could for weed control.

We have a mounted sprayer with a 120 foot boom on a John Deere track tractor (8430 model) but even so we got stuck four times in the first week. We obviously shouldn’t have been in those fields; they just stayed wet for a long time.”

How do you “unstuck” those big JD track tractors?

With another tractor just as big, chuckled Meulenar.

Because fields were so wet, spraying those prevent plant acres took over two weeks. But the land needed some sort of cover crop. They started buying oats in June but quickly oats were getting scarce. They got their last out of the North and South Dakota. They See PREVENT, pg. 25

Lots of expensive seed never got to be planted We get audited every year. ... That made our decision to prevent plant a lot easier because we have a long history of corn on corn.

trucking a few miles but I think the corn will be out there. The negative is that Federal Crop Insurance does not cover costs like it does a cash crop because they wouldn’t have the corn base if it’s rotated in there with alfalfa and a cover crop of oats.”

The irony of this huge prevent planting situation is that lots and lots of expensive seed corn never got planted, even though farmers had already paid for the seed. With the Meulenar’s for example, the seed company eventually did pick up the unused seed and as yet hasn’t refunded the seed cost.

But Mike’s okay with that so far. “I thought they would send me a check but as of July 28 that hasn’t happened. It looks like I will have been financing my seed for pretty much a whole year. I suspect we will get repaid or perhaps this covers seed purchases for next year. But we will get new seed. They took my old stuff so we’ll be okay with seed quality again.”

Will seed prices be a battle this fall in view of lower commodity prices? Only time will tell speculates Meulenar indicating, “We’re only a small spot in the U.S. corn crop. Lots of terrifically good corn in most of the country so cash is being generated and corn demand likely will be strong again next year.”

That word he shared for Land Minds last winter was Ineptocracy: A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Meulenar agrees, “It seems we’re still in that same situation.”

FSA data for Carver County, 2014: Corn planted… 33,081.65 acres; Corn prevented….14,257.50 acres.

Soybeans planted….21,637.65; Soybeans prevented….3,122.20 acres.

Soybeans planted…53,512.17 acres; Soybeans prevented….11,284.98 acres ❖

THE LAND, AUGUST 22, 2014

PREVENT, from pg. 24 started spreading the oats that last week in July and working it lightly into the landscape.

Intentions are to leave this oat seeding until early October then go in and disc/chisel lightly for winter cover; then hopefully next spring is a decent one and that land goes back into corn and soybean production.

No checks as yet in the mail for their prevent planting ground because nothing happens until acreage audits are confirmed by the insurance company agent. “We get audited every year. That’s just part of the business of farming anymore, especially since we have a good base history. That made our decision to prevent plant a lot easier because we have a long history of corn on corn,” Meulenar said.

Lots of dairies in Meulenar’s area so the obvious question: Where will the dairy farmers get their feed? He said one local dairy farmer called early June asking if we would plant some corn on those acres that he could buy this fall, even if it didn’t make grain corn. “We didn’t because we know that mudding in corn in mid-June wouldn’t amount to much of a crop and would likely hurt our base history also.”

He speculates that even with corn at $3.50 dairy guys are going to be able to find silage. “They may be

The “bearish” news would appear to be the threat of rising milk production — Kurzawski says globally there’s no doubt about that and things will be changing in that regard next year in Europe.

There’s concern about good weather in Australia and New Zealand as the El Niño scare “loses its steam,” he said, but “domestically here we have yet See MIELKE, pg. 28

MIELKE, from pg. 26 Wholesale cheese prices moved higher and have tempered some of the demand for additional loads above contracted needs.

Those companies with various outlets for their milk supply are often prioritizing cheese production above alternative products. Export demand for cheese is showing some increased interest, but buyers are price conscious and often waiting for price breaks to make purchases. Domestic demand is good and supplies are ample to fill most orders.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk continued to crash, closing Friday at $1.3975 per pound, down 14.25 cents on the week and down 25.25 cents in the past 10 consecutive sessions. This price has not seen this low a level since Aug. 1, 2012. Five cars were sold on the week. NDPSR powder averaged $1.7958, down 4.6 cents, and dry whey averaged 69.71 cents, up 0.4 cent.

■ FC Stone dairy broker Dave Kurzawski said in Friday’s DairyLine that domestic demand for cheese and butter is still very strong and may continue for some time. “I don’t know where the top of these markets will be,” he admitted. “I don’t know if anybody can answer that question, but what has happened here is that there remains a strong demand for fat and demand for butter.” Cream demand remains strong as well, he said, although cream demand has ticked down a little but “nothing too worrisome from the standpoint of the market bulls.”

Cheese has “chopped sideways, around the $2 level for several months now,” Kurzawski explained. “And now we’re starting to break back to the upside and all the bearish news globally has yet to translate into

MIELKE, from pg. 27 to see any of these real high prices that producers are receiving really translate into much of a big milk production situation in 2014. ... We’ll probably see about a 1.5 percent increase and that’s just not enough at this point in time.”

■ The falling fluid challenge remains in the dairy industry as evidence by USDA’s latest data. May 2014 packaged fluid milk sales totaled 4.2 billion pounds, down 3.5 percent from May 2013. (Sales were not adjusted for calendar considerations as in previous monthly reports). May sales of conventional products, at 3.99 billion pounds, were down 4.1 percent from a year ago; organic products, at 211 million, were up 8.1 percent Organic represented about 5.3 percent of total sales for the month.

January-May 2014 total packaged fluid milk sales, at 21.24 billion pounds, were down 2.5 percent from the same period a year earlier. Year-to-date sales of conventional products, at 20.2 billion pounds, were down 3.2 percent; organic products, at 1.04 billion pounds, were up 12.4 percent. Organic represented about 5.1 percent of total sales.

The figures represent consumption of fluid milk products in Federal milk order marketing areas and California, which account for approximately 92 percent of total fluid milk sales in the United States.

■ Meanwhile, USDA’s weekly update shows milk production is experiencing incremental declines across the Southwest, Pacific Northwest, Southeast and the Central regions as summer advances and warm temperatures progress. A stretch of cooler weather increased cow comfort and milk production in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. Class I demand is improving and expecting to build over the next month, as the school year commences. Ample condensed volumes are stretching dryer capacity in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest. Declines in butterfat component levels have tightened cream supplies in the Southwest.

A seasonal slowdown in ice cream production has added to cream availability in the Midwest. With the start of new butterfat pricing in California, manufacturers are weighing the option between selling and churning. Rainy conditions are slowing the alfalfa harvest in Utah and Idaho as overnight frost hampers the hay harvest in New Mexico.

■ Looking into dairy’s so-called crystal ball, USDA’s World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report, released Aug. 12, raised its milk production forecasts for 2014 and 2015 slightly as lower feed costs are expected to support higher output per cow.

The 2014 production was projected at 206.0 billion pounds, up 100 million pounds from last month’s projections. If realized, 2014 production would be up 2.4 percent from 2013. Production for 2015 was projected at 212.5 billion, also up 100 million pounds from a month ago. If realized 2015 production would be up about 3.2 percent from 2014.

The skim-solids export forecast was raised slightly for 2014, but was reduced in 2015 as competition increases. Skim-solids imports were unchanged from last month.

Butter prices and whey price forecasts were raised for 2014 with strength in butter prices expected to carry into 2015. Cheese prices and nonfat dry milk prices were forecast higher in 2014, but their price forecasts for 2015 were unchanged from last month.

Livestock identification, record keeping vital on the farm ST. CLOUD, Minn. — On any livestock farm, identification and record keeping is important. It’s crucial for several reasons: knowing that animal’s lineage, knowing its age, any treatment the animal has received, and other aspects of its history on your farm. Not knowing which animal is which can lead to many detrimental management mistakes.

Brenda Miller, Livestock Educator with Todd County Extension, recently published an article about this very topic. She had many valuable insights on the subject. She says, “It doesn’t matter if you have 30 or 3,000 cows; every producer needs to have an identification system in place.”

Let’s start with identification. What are the options? What are the tools associated with those options? Ear tags are the most widely used type of identification on farms. Ear tags are an easy, first form of identification for any age or size of animal with many different options to choose from. Choices can include color, size, personalization, laser engraved, or write-on tags.

If you worry about an animal losing its ear tag, you may consider double tagging your animals with one small and one large tag (or two large tags) both with the same name/number. That way should one

Freudenthal

tag get lost you will still have the other one and can replace the lost tag the next time the animal runs through the chute or comes into the barn. If you choose ear tags, the supplies you’ll need are the tags and a tagging pliers. If you worry about losing ear tags, you may want to look at a more permanent form of ID. Permanent forms of identification include tattoos and brands. Tattoos are placed in the ear of the animal, and can last forever. However, the downside to tattoos is they may be hard to read, and you will most likely need help applying them to your animals. Supplies needed to tattoo livestock include the tattoo pliers, letter and number dyes, and the ink.

Branding is a well-known means of livestock identification.

Today, most farmers do freezing branding, and it usually results in an easy to read, permanent ID. Some cons of branding are the extra work and people it requires, needing a restraint system such as a chute, and the cost of all of the supplies needed, which includes branding irons, liquid nitrogen, clippers, timer, disinfectant, and gloves.

Along with proper identification, adequate record

REMODELING, EXPANSION OR REPLACEMENT

keeping is crucial to any livestock operation. Every farm should be keeping records especially on animal identification and any treatments used on a specific animal.

When artificially inseminating, write down the service date, service sire, and due date for each cow.

Keep a chart or a single page-per-cow to record when she calved, bull or heifer, dead or alive, ID of the calf, and any additional observations or comments. Add to her chart every year she calves and include her vaccinations, illnesses, treatments, and any other life events she may have.

For day-to-day, recording this information in a notebook allows for easy access and quick notes.

However, in addition to written notes you should consider using record-keeping software, such as DairyComp, or at the very least making an Excel spreadsheet on the computer so you have everything down twice-written on paper and saved on the computer.

The uncounted

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

ames Root, the train engineer who rescued 150 people from the flames of Hinckley on Sept. 1, 1894, did so by backing his train out of town to a marsh called Skunk Lake. There the people on the burning train leaped off and, with the aid of porter John Blair, found their way to the hot slimy waters and immersed themselves.

Root, who miraculously survived severe burns, describes three men running out of the billowing smoke toward the train as it began to inch out of Hinckley. He slowed to pick these men up. But then he realized that if he stopped, everyone on board would die.

One of the men stumbled and disappeared in the smoke. The other two reached the train and grabbed on but shortly one of those rolled off the train into the flames. Even the railroad ties were burning. A visit to Hinckley’s fire museum will renew the story of James Root, John Blair, and many others from that Sept. 1st so long ago. The stories at the museum are told through video, wall murals, printed words, historical displays, and by the museum hostesses. The story of the Hinckley fire, which also destroyed the villages of Sandstone, Mission Creek, and Pokegama, is one all Minnesotans should know. There is no better place to sense its horrible ferocity than at the Fire Museum.

But if the image of a man stumbling, falling, and finally disappearing in the burning black smoke while James Root holds his burned hands to the controls is overwhelming, you can retreat to the cemetery on Fire Monument Road. In four trenches behind the 52-foot tall gray granite marker lie the remains of 248 bodies recovered shortly after the fire. Perhaps the man who tried to reach Roots train lies there.

But, perhaps, he was identified by family members and given his own burial site. Or perhaps he is among the uncounted dead. When the monument was dedicated on Sept. 1, 1900, its inscription said that, “more than four hundred and eighteen human lives” were lost in the fire. Who, then, were the “more than” that were not counted? Does it matter to be uncounted?

The cutting of the forest that brought on the Hinckley Fire was part of the march of human progress. Some of the questions posed by it are as old as time, however. ❖
