If you’re considering constructing a new home look no further. We offer you the highest quality homes at great prices, while giving you a hassle free home buying experience. Making life easier step by step...Family Owned-41 Years

Those two steps alone will radically alter the amount and mix of food needed 30 years from now, concedes Fraley, and “make an open question” to “what extent we actually will use GMOs.” It’s a refreshingly honest, clear assessment.

Hopefully, Fraley’s well-reasoned essay is seen by GMO-using farmers and GMO-worried consumers as fertile ground to sow a new understanding of what each needs and wants from GMOs because, plainly, neither GMOs nor consumer concerns over them are going away.

The biggest disagreements today center on whether GMOs, after 20 years of use, have “benefited society,” as Jonathan Foley discusses in his Feb. 25 online essay, and Big Ag’s hard-fought, so-far successful fight against GMO labeling. On the labeling front, Foley, now the executive director of the California Academy of Sciences, wonders why GMO proponents fight labeling as “unscientific” when the debate is really about “respecting people’s deep cultural connection to food and their right to know what’s in it.”

After all, he explains, “no substantial biological difference” — the argument used by GMO proponents to ward off labeling — could also apply to “the meat in your grocery store.” Is it just biologically similar “animal,” he asks, or is it “beef, chicken, pork, horsemeat, dog or whatever?”

OMG: point well made.

dream that Seth had him help put in a corn test plot.

In the dream, my Dad went out in the field and put in the test plot. Pleased with himself, he invited Seth to go check out his work the next day. To my Dad’s horror, he then realized he had put the test plot not only in the wrong field, but the field he put it in was now being dug for a swimming pool. Seth was mightily impressed with the details of how my Dad put in the imaginary plot in his wacky dream.

So even if you don’t have farming in your blood, the farming dream may be alive and well in you regardless.

Marriage, like farming, teaches us a lot about ourselves. It shows us our strengths, our weaknesses and, most importantly, in the end hopefully happiness. While Seth and I toast another year together, I want to also toast all the farmers out there as they prepare to climb into their combines.

May your thermoses be full of coffee, and your hearts full of optimism for a safe and successful harvest. Cheers to you all!

CORRECTION: Last issue’s “Land Minds” by Tom Royer (“Entschuldigung!”) mistakenly lacked his 8th observation about Switzerland. Here is the missing segment: 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.

Invest an Acre program turns Minnesota farmers’ harvest donations into meals for local families Minnesota farmers have an opportunity this fall to help solve a rising but little-known problem affecting rural communities throughout the state.

This year in rural Minnesota, families will miss 40 million meals. Minnesota farmers already play a significant role in food production for the state, country and world. But a need still exists, and in rural communities, hunger is often hidden.

Feeding America’s Invest an Acre program turns farmers’ contributions into meals for local families.

Farmers can get involved in two ways: They can make a cash donation now or pledge to make a donation from this year’s crop at harvest. Farmers do not need to make a final commitment until the crops are at the elevator.

“Hunger does not discriminate,” said JenFor many families, nifer Woodford, a serious life event executive direcmeans hunger tor of Channel One Regional strikes when it is Food Bank. “It least expected and does not care defenses are down. where you live.

Hunger does not — Jennifer Woodford care whether you are young or old. Hunger can strike anyone at any time. For many families, a serious life event means hunger strikes when it is least expected and defenses are down. A gift through Invest an Acre can help us stop hunger in its tracks right in local communities.”

Hunger is often a hidden problem that affects seniors, working families and children in rural as well as metro areas. One in 10 Minnesotans is at risk of missing a meal every day. Invest an Acre is part of a larger initiative to actively engage farmers in combating hunger — Harvest to End Hunger Minnesota. The second arm of the program is Share Fresh MN, a fresh-produce donation program that accepts unharvested or unsold produce from farmers.

The program is simple: Farmers are asked to visit www.HarvestToEndHungerMN.org and pledge the revenue from an acre, bushel or any amount of their 2014 crop to help fight hunger in their own communities. When harvest nears, farmers will be reminded to go online to create a donation form to bring to their local elevator with their grain donation.

One hundred percent of the donation stays in the farmer’s community, and all of the money goes directly to provide food to hungry families. The Monsanto Company is matching every donation nationally, dollar for dollar, up to $675,000, doubling the impact. For more information, visit www.HarvestToEndHungerMN.org.

From the Fields: Rain, rain, go away or come again? get the crop moving along. We need a later frost.” If that happens, Wilts said he believes that the crop will be “pretty average.”

As for an early frost ... well, no one wants to think about that happening.

By KRISTIN KVENO

The Thronsons Gary, Minn.

A half an inch can go a long way when it comes to muchneeded rain.

When The Land spoke with Jared Thronson on Aug. 21, Jared Thronson he was hopeful that the forecast — “quite a bit of chances of rain” — would come true. Earlier in the week, his fields had received that half inch and he said it had helped a lot.

The corn is “still looking pretty good,” he said, and that bit of rain came just in time for the beans. The plants are “just about done flowering,” said Thronson, and “the lower pods are filled pretty good.”

He sprayed the beans for aphids Aug. 14 and 15. “I could find aphids on every plant,” he said, adding that he wanted to get the spraying done while the ground was in good shape.

In other fields, he said his wheat was “getting ripe.” Thronson sprayed Roundup on his spring wheat Aug. 19 “to help it get a little more even.” He estimated that he was 10 to 12 days away from harvesting the wheat, and said not too many people in his area had combines running yet.

When his wheat is ready, Thronson wanted to be able to jump in the combine and go, so he was busy “checking everything over again.”

Meanwhile, he was getting the sprayer cleaned up and ready to go for next year, and still had “some ditching to do in the winter wheat field,” as well as spreading some fertilizer. The winter wheat field may become soybeans next year so Thronson said he was going to try to get the soil sampled.

Thronson is feeling optimistic about how the crops are faring. With cooler weather forecasted, a little warmth and some rain would be ideal to get their crops really flourishing.

The Wiltses Herman, Minn.

Harvest has begun for Dennis Wilts.

The Thronsons ❖ Gary, Minn ❖ Norman-Mahnomen Counties corn, soybeans and wheat

The Wiltses ❖ Herman, Minn ❖ Stevens County corn, soybeans, wheat and sugar beets

The Hoffmans ❖ New Ulm, Minn ❖ Brown County dairy cattle, corn, soybeans and alfalfa

The Hagens ❖ Lake Mills, Iowa ❖ Winnebago County corn and soybeans

Thronson is feeling optimistic about how the crops are faring. With cooler weather forecasted, a little warmth and some rain would be ideal to get their crops really flourishing.

The Land spoke with Wilts on Aug. 20, in the middle of their third day combining spring wheat.

He was pleased at how well harvest was going — “we got a pretty good yield.” Dennis Wilts After the day’s combining, Wilts estimated that they would be about a third of the way done.

It looked as though harvest, however, was going to take a break as “it sounds like it’s supposed to start raining tonight.” While the rain may have put a temporary damper on wheat harvest, it’s still a welcome sight. He said they had also gotten one or two inches of rain over the previous weekend.

Wilts is spraying his sugar beets with a fungicide to ward off cercospora; it wasn’t bad yet, and he was hoping to stave off this fungal disease.

The high humidity and warm temperatures were making cercospora an issue on area sugar beet fields. He

hopes to only have to spray the fungicide once this year.

As for how the sugar beets are doing, Wilts said that “with the rain we got now, they’re looking better.” He explained that the crop is pretty much made in August through the beginning of September. “We should have the moisture for them.”

Meanwhile, the soybeans are “looking pretty.” With the plants over waist high, he said it “looks like it’s going to be a pretty good crop.”

The corn crop, however, needs some heat to get it really going. The moisture that fell was needed, but the heat is definitely something that’s missing.

“We’ve got some fields that look good, and some that are behind.”

Once wheat harvest is complete, Wilts will begin doing tillage on those fields. He said they grid sample all of their wheat fields. This year’s wheat fields will become next year’s sugar beet fields.

“We’re sitting pretty good for moisture,” he said, “but we need the heat to

The Hoffmans New Ulm, Minn.

Since Aug. 1, Don Hoffman’s farm has received one and a quarter inches of rain. Every single drop was needed, and very much welcomed. Don Hoffman When The Land spoke with Hoffman on Aug. 20, he hoped that the forecast would come true for rain. “Tonight it’s a pretty good chance and tomorrow morning,” he said. “Point blank, we’ll take any.”

The lack of rain hasn’t hurt Hoffman’s hay crop much at all. “We took the fourth crop hay last week. In fact, took it a week early,” he said. For the “second time in the last 15 years we’ll take a fifth crop.” Hoffman expects the fifth cutting to happen around Sept. 7 or 8.

“The alfalfa crop is in its best year,” he said. “We’re incredibly happy about it.”

Their corn “has a long way to go yet,” however. Hoffman said that he probably won’t be chopping corn before Sept.

15. “Corn is just starting to fill, so the rains are timely for me.”

He doesn’t worry about drying corn this fall as it will be used strictly for silage. The lack of heat doesn’t concern him as it does those in his area who grow conventional corn — he can just chop the corn a week later if conditions aren’t right.

His soybean fields have been sprayed for aphids and sprayed with Roundup as the weeds keep popping up. Even though Hoffman noticed aphids in his soybeans, overall he said the beans look “pretty good.” He said he hopes he might “salvage a decent crop out of it after all.”

Hoffman is “just peachy” that rain was on its way — the timing of the moisture, he said, was “very beneficial” See FIELDS, pg. 9A

Rain was no longer a stranger at Jim Hagen’s farm. In fact, it had been a frequent guest the previous five days.

When The Land spoke with Hagen on Aug. 21, he reported that Jim Hagen from “Sunday to now five inches has fallen.” Even with that much precipitation, he said there’s “no water standing.”

That’s good, because he said it wasn’t forecast to end there.

“The next four to five days there’s a chance of rain every day,” said Hagen. Until Sunday his crops had been way behind in moisture, so “it was just in time — the crops look good.”

The beans are “The beans are fillfilling out ing out now; lot of now; lot of pods on them,” Hagen pods on them. said. “I think they’ll I think they’ll start flowering now be flowering with all this moisture.” The corn looks now with all “real good.” Hagen this moisture. estimates that his soybean and corn — Jim Hagen crop is 90 percent good to excellent. A little hail fell on one small area and “stripped the corn leaves.”

Hagen said he would be “getting the new combine tomorrow.” Getting it set up will be on his to-do list, right along with getting the bins and dryer ready.

Farm Rescue nonprofit nears another milestone Group helps farmers who’ve been disabled or injured

By BLAKE NICHOLSON Associated Press The Farm Rescue nonprofit in the Upper Midwest is approaching another milestone — it will help its 300th farm family in the region by the end of the year.

The volunteer-based organization headquartered in North Dakota helped its 100th farm family in 2009 and its 200th in 2012.

“Three hundred families in the Upper Midwest are able to continue supporting their communities and feeding America,” Bill Gross said.

“These families are friends, neighbors and customers. They’re the rural community.”

Farm Rescue plants and harvests crops for farmers in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Iowa and eastern Montana who have experienced an illness, injury or natural disaster. It’s been operating since 2006, supported by donations, business sponsors and about 1,000 volunteers.

“I appreciate the work they did for me; it helped quite a bit,” said Dan Dotzenrod, who became the 200th farmer to get help after he broke his neck in a fall on his southeastern North Dakota farm. “I’m mostly recovered — 90 to 95 percent. Still farming.”

Gross said Farm Rescue, which operates on an annual cash budget of about $450,000, will help about 50 farmers annually for another year or two.

“We need to build more support for the organization financially to expand beyond that level,” he said. “We are moving in that direction. Then, if we expand geographically in a few years, that number might grow.”

The Dotzenrods were the 200th family to receive assistance from the volunteer organization. Dan had broken his neck earlier in the year. Farm Rescue is nearing another milestone. It will help its 300th farm family in the region by the end of the year.

Farm Rescue has gotten a big boost in recent years from The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust, which has contributed nearly $1 million since 2008. Fargo-based RDO Equipment Co., which owns and operates more than 60 dealerships in nine

states, has supplied critical equipment, according to Gross.

Keith Kreps, an RDO executive vice president, estimated the company has invested more than $1 million in the partnership.

“Bill approached us with a way to give to the large community that we do business in, and directly affect the farmers and the industry that we make our living in,” Kreps said. “We just thought it was the perfect fit.” ❖

Minnesota State Fair barns take precautions for health

By LORNA BENSON Minnesota Public Radio News For many visitors to the Minnesota State Fair, wandering through the animal barns, listening to the indignant squeals of jostling pigs or watching a 1,500-pound cow unfurl its long tongue to snag an out-of-reach kernel of grain, is one of the fair’s great pleasures.

But even though the animals are bathed and brushed to perfection, they can carry germs that can make people sick.

The risk was made apparent earlier this month, when an E-coli outbreak that sickened 13 people

was traced to a traveling petting zoo that appeared at several Minnesota county fairs and festivals.

Seven people were hospitalized and two patients developed serious kidney complications.

Besides E-coli, other potentially dangerous pathogens spread by animals include salmonella, campylobacter and influenza. With the State Fair underway, many fairgoers may be wondering about the health risks of spending time in the animal barns.

State Fair officials say the exhibits offer some of the safest settings around for people to interact with farm animals. They say fairgoers can make the expe-

rience even less risky by following a few simple rules.

There isn’t a huge risk of contracting an animal disease just from walking through the fair barns, State Public Health Veterinarian Joni Scheftel said.

She wants fairgoers to feel relaxed about visiting the animal buildings.

Fairgoers can reduce the risk of contracting any illness that is present if they avoid touching their mouths and make sure to thoroughly wash their hands when leaving the barns, Scheftel said.

See HEALTH, pg. 11A

Scheftel: Big effort by State Fair to reduce health risks infections to the State Fair. But she said that’s not much when you consider that hundreds of thousands of fairgoers visit the animal barns each year.

She said far more animal-related infections are linked to exposures on working farms or when peo-

ple fail to properly cook meat at home.

“We’ve never had what we call an outbreak,” Scheftel said. “The only thing we’ve ever identified are small family clusters among exhibitors, not visitors. ❖

HEALTH, from pg. 10A Many of the animal diseases that are harmful to humans are spread through infected manure.

Manure is cleaned up quickly at the fair, but remnants remain on the floor where animals rest and that can be transferred to people’s hands when they pet the animals later.

Touching animals isn’t the only way disease is spread.

“It can happen if you carry food or drink into an animal building and sawdust and dust gets on the food, and then you eat it that way,” Scheftel said.

Visitors also should put pacifiers and bottles away when entering the animal barns.

Parents of toddlers and young children who might hang on barn gates to get a Goodrich said better view should the State Fair make sure their kids aren’t pressing their has done a lot mouths against the in just the past rails, said Mark five years to Goodrich, deputy genminimize the eral manager of livespread of disstock and competition. ease between animals and “We try to disinfect those areas numerhumans.

In the swine barn, where there is more concern about influenza viruses spreading between people and pigs through the air, the ventilation system has undergone a substantial upgrade.

“We’ve increased the air that we’re pulling into the building, the amount of air that we’re pulling out is a phenomenal amount,” Goodrich said. “We added the huge, large like Casablanca fans. They’re about 15 foot in diameter that move and stir the air.”

Scheftel, of the Health Department, agrees the State Fair has invested a lot of effort into reducing health risks that were already quite low.

The state tracks whenever someone is diagnosed with salmonella, E-coli or campylobacter and follows up to see if a source for the infections can be found.

But the critters are out there and already we’re seeing some breaks in area fields with a few reporting economic thresholds (250 aphids/plant).

“But look at the calendar. We’re into early August. Sometimes they launch in July. So we could have a compressed time frame to deal with aphids this year. But it’s a field-by-field situation.

And that means scouting — lots of scouting. Speed scouting if you have the right photographs to judge by and help. A likely issue this year might be aphids on the later-planted soybeans, which we have lots of this year. Those younger foliage leaves are apparently mighty appetizing.” ❖

‘Ten Commandments’ of farm safety Know your tractor: Always look at the operator’s manual before operating an unfamiliar machine. Know the location of each control.

Roll Over Protective Structures: Most tractor fatalities are the result of an overturn. The use of ROPS in conjunction with a seat belt saves lives.

ROPS works by limiting the roll to 90 degrees, and protecting the operator’s station from being crushed under the weight of the machine.

Drive safely: Avoid operating a tractor near ditches, holes, and embankments. If you must do so, then allow a sixfoot clearance between the edge and the machine.

Never start a tractor inside a closed structure: Always open the doors before starting the tractor, or other internal combustion engines. A closed space can quickly fill with deadly Carbon Monoxide.

Power Take Off shields: Your tractor’s PTO is a serious hazard. A PTO running at 1000 rpm, will pull in clothing at a rate of 8 feet per second. If your PTO has a damaged or missing shield, replace it before operating the tractor.

Hitches and drawbars: Always hitch towed loads to the drawbar. This is the only safe place to attach a load.

Hitching to the seat bracket or the axle, or anything else higher than the drawbar, can cause the tractor to back flip in less than a second.

Never leave a running tractor unattended: Always shut down your equipment if you are going to leave the work area. The risks of fire or unauthorized or unintended operation far outweigh any possible benefit. If you have children on your farm, take the keys with you.

Fuel when cool: Never refuel a tractor when it is running, or when the engine is hot. This is of special importance on older gasoline-powered equipment. Gasoline is not only highly flammable, it can be explosive in vapor form.

No riders: If your tractor is equipped with a ROPS, it is not designed to protect anyone outside the operator’s station. No one other than the operator has any business riding on a tractor, or worse yet, an implement being towed by a tractor. Don't ride on a tractor and don't allow others to ride!

Speed and carelessness kill: Never rush while operating a tractor. There is only one acceptable speed for tractor operation – “safe speed.” Allow plenty of time to get to and from the work area.

An overly fatigued operator is liable to make mistakes, or become inattentive.

Operating a tractor and implement in the field is both mentally taxing and monotonous. Get off the machine and stretch every so often; it really helps.

He said a strong educational program is a must in doing battle against PEDv, particularly since there is not as yet a reliable vaccine for medical control. He said that both producers and consumers need to get better educated — “It can’t transfer to any other animal, including human beings.”

Fenske said he was headed to Northeast Iowa Community College in Calmar this fall, majoring in Dairy Science and Technology. He already has work experience at two area dairy farms, and believes his transition into the academic world will be a rewarding challenge.

Other topics for the Ambassador candidates ranged from ag literacy to nutrition and cooking information.

When the candidates were not on stage, videos played featuring three Minnesota pork production farms sharing stories of the stewardship and technology now standard in modern swine operations. These videos directly addressed several misconceptions, such as use of hormones in pork production, usage of antibiotics, confinement housing, etc.

Grain Angles A broader perspective

The following market analysis is for the week ending Aug. 22.

CORN — Comments are brief this week as corn consolidated lower, never straying far from the 14day moving average.

The ProFarmer Midwest crop tour didn’t throw us any curve balls on yield or crop size estimates as they sampled corn fields from Ohio to South Dakota. The tour’s final results put the corn crop at 14.093 billion bushels using an average yield of 169.3 bu./acre.

A sampling of state corn results: Ohio 187 vs. U.S. Depart- PHYLLIS NYSTROM ment of Agriculture at 177.0; CHS Hedging Inc.

In the last eight years, the tour’s nationwide yield has been below the September USDA number six times. They also cut harvested corn acres by 600,000 acres with North Dakota down 500,000 acres and Minnesota down 100,000 acres from the USDA numbers.

On the August USDA crop report, the total crop was pegged at 14.032 billion bushels using a yield of 167.4 bu./acre. Corn conditions slipped just 1 percent to 72 percent good/excellent. This is the second-best rating since 1994. Seventy percent of the corn was in

The battle continues in the livestock markets. It has been, and will likely continue to be, a struggle between supply and demand. As a result of the uneasiness of the cattle and hog markets due to this struggle, chances are that the erratic behavior in price discovery will more than likely continue in the foreseeable future.

For the most part the cattle market has been sagging over the past couple of weeks. One reason has been the beef cutout values which have been eroding throughout the period. This is reflecting reluctance by the retail sector to the higher price of beef and as a result indicating a JOE TEALE demand decline at the higher Broker prices.

Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn.

Another reason might be the fact that weights are much higher than a year ago, which might be an indication that producers were holding inventories back to capture the higher prices reflected in the futures prices. But futures have not inverted and the back months are now lower than the nearby contracts, so inventories are likely to move to market sooner. This could keep prices more on the defensive if immediate supplies increase in the short term.

On Aug. 22 the U.S. Department of Agriculture released the monthly Cattle on Feed report. The findings are as follows: on feed, 98 percent; placed, 93 percent; and marketed, 91 percent. The report was seen as neutral to slightly negative as placements were higher than anticipated while marketed was less than projected.

I recently had a great opportunity to help guide farm tours at a regional farm-city day event sponsored by our local extension office. It was a perfect morning and hundreds of families, now generations removed from agriculture, came to see how crops were grown and the milk they drink is produced.

As an added bonus, they received a wonderful lunch and delicious cheese curds for a snack. As you might expect, I received all kinds of questions about the crops and animals we saw on our tour.

I believe the best part of the day was the dialogue and face-toface interaction with these con- GLENN WACHTLER sumers. Many of us in the indus- AgStar Assistant VP Financial Services try, including me, may think Baldwin, Wis. questions and concerns that consumers have about the growing conditions, animal production and life on the farm are very basic.

I’ve probably been too quick to dismiss these concerns and haven’t done enough to tell the story of American agriculture and the entrepreneurs who make it great.

After this experience, not only did I think about things from a new perspective, but I believe some of the families may have a new perspective and appreciation for the agricultural industry.

I hope some gained a better understanding of how crops provide the clean-burning ethanol we use every day, as well as the delicious and healthy milk we drink. I also hope these folks share their experience to other consumers, keeping the industry

Forecasts predict crop-finishing rains for Midwest NYSTROM, from pg. 15A the dough stage as of Aug. 17 compared to 63 percent on average; 22 percent of the crop was dented versus 27 percent on average.

Weekly export sales were routine this week. Old crop sales were 3.9 million bushels and new crop sales were 28.3 million bushels. The Cattle on Feed report was 98.1 percent on feed as of Aug. 1 versus estimates for 97.4 percent; placements were 92.6 percent versus 90.6 percent estimates; and marketing at 90.7 percent versus 92 percent expected. Placements were the lowest since 1996.

OUTLOOK: September corn declined just one-quarter cent for the week to close at $3.65 1⁄2 per bushel.

The December contracts dropped 5 1⁄2 cents to $3.71 1⁄2 per bushel. Corn can’t seem to generate much buying or selling interest. The trend for corn has turned sideways. We may be stuck in a $3.58 to $3.90 range until the September USDA crop report.

This week’s range was $3.65 1⁄2 to $3.81 in the December contract.

SOYBEANS — This week’s action was definitely one that reinforced the tightness in old crop soybeans. The September soybean contract skyrocketed 63 1⁄2 cents to close at $11.66 per

bushel; while the November contract fell a dime to $10.42 per bushel and set a new contract low/double bottom in the process at $10.35 per bushel.

Processors were paying sharply higher basis levels as the week progressed for quick shipment soybeans to fill the gap from old crop to new crop supplies. Bean basis in central Illinois reportedly was trading an average of plus-$3.30 SX as the week ended.

Meal prices screamed higher which justified the rising bean basis. September meal prices were an astonishing $45 higher and the December meal was down 80 cents.

The transition from old crop to new crop supplies will keep old crop prices volatile as we head into first notice day for the September contract at the end of this month. You don’t want to be the last one with beans to sell because when new crop beans begin to filter into the market, or processors decide to take downtime, these sky-high basis numbers will fall as quickly as they soared.

The crop tour results for pod counts versus last year’s results reinforced expectations for a huge bean crop this year. At the conclusion of the tour, yield results from the tour were determined as follows: Ohio 50 bu./acre vs.

49 USDA; Indiana 52 bu./acre vs. 51

MARKETING

Hog market oversold, but doesn’t mean weakness TEALE, from pg. 15A It is not likely that this report will have a significant impact on the cattle market. However the cold storage report suggested that supplies in storage were much greater than projected.

This should continue to keep the struggle between supply and demand at the forefront of the pricing of cattle since the overall supply of cattle is still well below average. Producers should remain in constant awareness of market conditions and protect inventories as needed.

The hog market has been under extreme pressure over the past several weeks. The supply of hogs and a weaker demand for pork have sent prices in a real tailspin during the period. The lean index, for example, has dropped over $11.00 just in the past week ending Aug. 22.

Obviously, the market is oversold; however that does not mean that there may be more weakness ahead. The USDA Cold Storage report released on Aug. 22 indicated far more pork in storage than expected.

The supply of hogs seems to have increased since the initial porcine epidemic diarrhea virus outbreak back last spring that sent prices to all-time highs. Because of this increase in supply and the high prices paid for pork in the past several months, a major recovery in prices seem remote at this time.

However, because of the oversold conditions and the relationship to other meats, a price recovery maybe possible in the upcoming weeks. Producers are urged to remain on top of market conditions and protect their inventories when necessary. ❖

USDA; Illinois 54 bu./acre vs. 54 USDA; Iowa 49.5 bu./acre vs. USDA’s 50 bu./acre; Nebraska 51 bu./acre vs.

52 USDA; Minnesota 41.5 bu./acre vs.

USDA’s 42 bu./acre; and South Dakota 40 bu./acre, the same as the USDA. The tour’s final crop estimate was 3.812 billion bushels with an average yield of 45.35 bu./acre and leaving harvested acres unchanged from the August USDA report. The August USDA yield was 45.4 bu./acre for a crop of 3.816 billion bushels.

Crop conditions are holding up very well. Soybean conditions actually rose 1 percent as of Aug. 17 to 71 percent good/excellent. This is the best rating for this week since 1994. Eighty-three percent of the crop was setting pods versus 79 percent average.

Weekly export sales finally saw net cancellations for old crop of 3.3 million bushels. This still leaves total sales commitments at 1.693 billion bushels compared to the USDA’s 1.64 billion bushel export projection. New crop sales were above expectations at 52.2 million bushels.

OUTLOOK: Weather forecasts predict crop-finishing rains for the Midwest into the end of August. The forecasts in combination with crop tour results and crop conditions should continue to limit new crop price prospects for the time being.

Old crop is a balancing act with processors trying to bridge the gap to new crop. November soybeans may be expected to make a new contract low before making any comeback.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending Aug. 22: Chicago September wheat managed a three-quarter cent gain while the Minneapolis contract rallied 14 3⁄4 cents and Kansas City wheat jumped 13 3⁄4 cents higher.

The lead crude oil contract fell $1.67 to $93.65 per barrel, ultra-low-sulfur diesel dropped 2 cents, reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending (gasoline) increased 4 cents, and natural gas was up 6 1⁄2 cents. ❖

Share your story, and listen to others’ stories WACHTLER, from pg. 15A healthy and profitable for years to come.

Reflecting on this event with consumers made me stop and think about my learning experiences in the ag industry as well. The best of these learning experiences stemmed from great one-on-one interactions I’ve had out on farms with producers.

The most valuable time was spent when there wasn’t an agenda, script to follow or sale to make. I’ve learned a lot through these relationships; I hope I’ve returned some good advice to the producers that have taught me so much during my career.

It’s important to take time to visit with your banker, agronomist, insur-

ance agent, equipment dealer or other ag professional. Share your story and find out what’s going on in their world.

Like my recent experience, taking these opportunities allows each individual to gain a broader perspective of both the farm and businesses that work with the farm. This will have a trickle-down effect, keeping your farm and the organizations serving agriculture healthy and profitable for years to come.

Kubota Tractor Corp. has introduced three new models to its B50-Series compact tractors, adding the newly designed B2650 and B3350 ROPS tractors and the new B3350SU Special Utility tractor to its lineup.

Available now at dealerships nationwide, the new Kubota B50-Series ROPS tractors offer class-leading luxury with user-friendly control layout, and powerful Kubota diesel engines that meet the latest Tier IV emission regulations. The three new models complement the line’s cab models released last year.

The new B50-Series ROPS models have Kubota diesel engines that are built for greater power with cleaner emissions. The B3350 and B3350SU models offer a liquid-cooled E-TVCS (Emissions-Three Vortex Combustion System) engine, delivering increased power and high torque for more strength and enhanced productivity.

Equipped with a Diesel Particulate Filter, these models further reduce emissions to ensure compliance with the latest Tier IV emission standards.

Each of the new models offer Kubota’s proven threerange, clutchless HST transmissions for easy operation and the optimal speed to match any job – lowrange for extra power at low speed, mid-range for normal operations, and high-range for transporting from place to place.

Additionally, operators can move more efficiently between jobs at top travel speeds ranging from approximately 12 mph to more than 14 mph with turf tires.

When it comes to implements, the B50-Series ROPS models provide an extra punch of power and strength for a range of tough tasks with 19.5 horsepower for the B2650 and 27 horsepower for both the B3350 and the B3350SU, the new B50-Series now delivers the highest PTO horsepower ever for a BSeries tractor.

Ideal for light utility work, mowing or landscaping, the B50-Series offers a variety of performancematched implements, including a front loader, backhoe, mid-mount mower, standard and light material buckets, and snow blades, making a multitude of jobs easier than ever in any season.

The Kubota B50-Series ROPS models are smart and ergonomically designed. From the deluxe suspension seat designed to absorb shock and reduce operator fatigue, to a tilt-steering wheel and easy-toread LCD digital panel, the B50-Series allows for a comfortable driving position and nimble operation.

Levers are logically arranged on the left and right consoles, and switches are concentrated around the instrument panel.

In addition, the brake pedal is positioned on the left side of the steering column for more right-side foot space and easier operation of the HST pedal.

Also, the front grill and newly designed headlamps are now integrated into the one-piece metal hood for easier opening and closing and more convenient access to the engine to address any maintenance needs.

South Central Minnesota is under some type of cash rental agreement.

There is a small amount of land under share rental agreements. Once a land owner has made their choices for base acre reallocation, updating program yields, and the farm program choice, those decisions will continue on through 2018, regardless if the land is rented to another farm operator in future years.

The farm program decisions will also be in place through 2018, if the land is sold in the next few years, which makes these decisions extremely important to land owners.

Following are some of the choices that producers and land owners will need to consider at the farm program sign-up times later this year.

Reallocation of crop base acres All farm program payments for both the new Agriculture Risk Coverage and the Price Loss Coverage programs will be calculated on crop base acres, rather than on year-to-year planted crop acres. Land owners will be given a one-time opportunity to update crop

base acres on a FSA farm unit, based on the average planted acres from 2009-2012, or they can choose to continue with the crop base acres that existed under the last farm bill.

The total reallocated crop base acres for 2014-18 can not exceed the total crop base acres that existed in 2013 farm program. Many farm operators planted more corn from 2009-12, so there may be an opportunity to increase corn base acres on some FSA farm units.

Updating farm program payment yields Producers that chose the new PLC program will have a choice of keeping their existing counter-cyclical payment yields on a farm unit from the previous farm program, or updating the payment yields. Updated yields will be 90 percent of the five-year (2008-12) average crop yields for eligible each crop on a farm unit.

ARC or PLC program Producers and land owners will have a one-time choice between the ARC program, and the PLC program, for each eligible crop, on each individual FSA farm unit. If no choice is made, the FSA farm unit will be placed in the PLC program for 2015-18, and that farm unit will have no farm program coverage for the 2014 crop year. The ARC program is based on actual crop revenue (yield and price), as compared to average benchmark crop revenues. The PLC program is based on only crop reference prices.

PLC program payments will be made if the 12month Market Year Average price falls below the established reference price (target price) for a given crop. The marketing period for the 12-month MYA price for corn and soybeans is Sept. 1 in the year that the crop was produced until Aug. 31 of the following year. PLC payments would be made in October of the following year, and will be made on 85 percent of eligible crop base acres for a given crop.

County or individual ARC program Producers and land owners that choose the ARC program option will have another choice to make, whether to have benchmark revenues and potential ARC payments determined by county-level yields — ARC-CO — or individual farm-level yields — ARCIN. There are several aspects to consider regarding this decision.

ARC-CO program payments will occur for a given crop when the actual county-level calculated revenue (county yield x MYA) is below 86 percent of the

Tsunami warning — July milk jumps; butter sets record This column was written for the marketing week ending Aug. 22.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture should have issued a “tsunami warning” when it issued its preliminary data for July milk production. July output in the top 23 producing states amounted to 16.39 billion pounds, up 4 percent from July 2013. The 50state total, at 17.45 billion pounds, was up 3.9 per-

cent from a year ago. Sequestered 2013 data was reinstated in the July report and revisions added 50 million pounds to the original June 23-state estimate, now reported at 16.2 billion pounds, up 2.3 percent from a year ago.

July cow numbers in the 23 states, at 8.58 million head, were up 6,000 from June and 56,000 more head than a year ago. The 50-state count, at 9.27

million head, is up 5,000 from June and 37,000 more than a year ago.

July output per cow in the 23 states averaged 1,911 pounds, up 18 pounds from June, 61 pounds above July 2013, and the highest production per cow for the MIELKE MARKET month of July since the WEEKLY 23 state series began in

By Lee Mielke 2003.

California was up 4.4 percent, thanks to an 85-pound-per-cow increase more than offsetting a loss of 2,000 cows in the nation’s No. 1 milk producer. Wisconsin was up 3.4 percent, thanks to a 65-pound gain per cow also offsetting a drop of 2,000 cows in America’s Dairyland. Idaho was up 4 percent on a 60-pound gain per cow and 6,000 more cows. New York was up 4.8 percent on a 75-pound gain per cow and 5,000 more cows. Pennsylvania was up 3 percent on a 60-pound gain per cow and 4,000 more cows, while Minnesota was down 0.1 percent on 5,000 fewer cows, although output per cow was up 15 pounds.

Three states showed decline and all were under 1 percent. The biggest gain was Arizona, up 8.9 percent, thanks to a 115pound gain per cow and 5,000 more head.

The Milk Production report was viewed as bearish by most. An estimated 232,000 dairy cows were slaughtered under Federal inspection in July, up 33,000 head from June but 19,000 below July 2013, according to this week’s Livestock Slaughter report.

But, now with that Russian kickback, we’re going to have to compete with the Europeans. That will change the scene a little bit but we can still be competitive,” he concluded.

■ There was no reaction to the milk production data in the cash cheese and butter market. The 40-pound block Cheddar closed Aug. 22 at $2.2625 per pound, up 4.25 cents on the week and 59.25 cents above a year ago when they dropped almost 11 cents. They have gained 29.25 cents in the past four weeks. The 500-pound Cheddar barrels finished at $2.26, up 5 cents on the week, and 61.75 cents above a year ago when they dropped 12.25 cents.

NDPSR powder averaged $1.8118, up 2 cents, and dry whey averaged 68.84 cents per pound, down 0.9 cent.

Powder inventories are growing. Central and Western manufacturers are diverting some milk from nonfat dry milk into higher returning production such as cheese. European and Oceania markets moved lower, putting downward pressure on U.S. prices. The Ag Department announced the September Federal order Class I base milk price this week at $23.63 per hundredweight, down 24 cents from October but $4.47 above September 2013, and equates to about $2.03 per gallon. That puts the 2014 Class I average at $23.18, up from $18.48 at this time a year ago, $16.50 in 2012, and $19.23 in 2011.

The two-week, NDPSR-surveyed butter price used in calculating the Class I value averaged $2.4319 per pound, up 9.4 cents from August. Nonfat dry milk averaged $1.8020, down 7.4 cents.

Cheese averaged $2.0666, up 2.2 cents, and dry whey averaged 69.26 cents per pound, up a half cent.

■ Australian milk production is beginning to increase with more cows coming on-line. Weather is cool and wet in the major dairy producing states and, as a whole, the current winter is viewed as average. Pastures could use some warmer temperatures and sunshine to promote increased growth. The decline in dairy commodity prices over the past number of weeks has discouraged some milk producers from executing expansion plans or taking on added financial risk.

New Zealand milk production is showing modest increases as cows are calving and coming on-line. Weather conditions on the North Island have been very wet and may hamper grazing pastures if they’re not allowed to dry off sufficiently. Lower farmgate prices for producers have restricted supplemental feeding, as it is no longer cost effective. Milk production is expected to make sizable increases week to week leading up to the seasonal peak, which usually occurs in October.

The downfall Tuesday was led by a 12 percent plunge in skim milk powder, which was down 6.5 percent in the last event. Cheddar cheese was down 7.9 percent, following a 10.2 percent decline last time. Buttermilk powder was next, down 2.5 percent, following a 10.1 percent loss last time.

On the positive side; butter was up 4.9 percent, after dropping 9.6 percent last time. Anhydrous milkfat was up 3.6 percent, after jumping 6 percent last time and plunging 10 percent the time before that. Whole milk powder was up 3.4 percent, after plunging 11.5 percent last time and 10.9 percent the session before that.

FC Stone reports the average GDT butter price equated to about $1.3334 per pound U.S., up from $1.2703 in the Aug. 5 event ($1.3009 per pound on 80 percent butterfat, up from $1.2393 per pound). Contrast that to Chicago Mercantile Exchange butter which closed Friday at a record high $2.8225 per pound.

The GDT Cheddar cheese average was $1.5664 per pound U.S., down from $1.6973. The U.S. block Cheddar CME price Friday was at $2.2625 per pound.

GDT skim milk powder, at $1.3034 per pound U.S., is down from $1.4804, and the whole milk powder average at $1.2720 per pound U.S., is up from $1.2360 in the last event. The CME Grade A nonfat dry milk price Friday had fallen to $1.30.

■ In other export news, Cooperatives Working Together accepted six requests for export assistance this week from Dairy Farmers of America and Northwest Dairy Association (Darigold) to sell 1.964 million pounds (891 metric tons) of Cheddar and Gouda cheese, to customers in Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

The product will be delivered through January 2015 and raises CWT’s 2014 cheese exports to 82.543 million pounds plus 48.051 million pounds of butter and 19.877 million pounds of whole milk powder to 43 countries on six continents. These sales are the equivalent of 2.054 billion pounds of milk on a milkfat basis.

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer The issue of water quality — and who controls the water — is contentious. Minnesota Farmers Union president Doug Peterson said what is needed most in this discussion is clarity and common sense.

The precise wording to define “navigable” waters, and the impact of one body of water upon another, are among the problems to resolve. Speaking at the recent Farmfest, Peterson said Environmental Protection Agency regulation proposals are simply not clear.

“We had EPA Commissioner Gina McCarthy on a conference call with our state presidents,” he said. “We said to McCarthy and staff that what we need are clear and common-sense definitions of these rules as they apply to all waters of the United States.”

Peterson said that in their upcoming September meeting with McCarthy, she needs to present clearly worded language that spells out in detail what these various water issues might be, and which waters are to be impacted.

“When you take away the resources of the agencies you don’t have the boots on the ground to educate the farmers,” he said. “These agencies apparently don’t have enough personnel to take care of the rules they already have.

Farm equipment is safer than it used to be, but there are still injuries and fatalities that can occur.

Often youth are utilized to help out with the farm work. Be sure to look out for their interests by keeping them safe.

Always think of how to safely operate the machines and equipment you are running before you start and be sure to tell youth important information as well.

In 2009, an estimated 16,100 youth were injured on farms and 3,400 of these injuries were due to farm work.

On average, there are 113 youth less than 20 years of age that dies annually from farm-related injuries, with the See SAFETY, pg. 24A

Many of the mechanical, chemical, and environmental hazards increase the risk of accidents. There were 476 farmers and farmworkers that died from work-related injuries in 2010. The leading cause of death for farmworkers is tractor overturns.

Unfortunately, we continue seeing injuries and fatalities in the agricultural area and often they can be prevented. Most everyone working in the agricultural area knows of someone

Of the leading sources of fatal injuries to youth, 23 percent involved machinery (including tractors), 19 percent involved motor vehicles (including ATVs), and 16 percent were due to drowning. Be sure that those working on your farm don’t become one of these statistics.

Those using the roadways should also take extra precaution when driving because there will be numerous

tractors and slow moving vehicles on the roadways. Often, older equipment does not have proper signaling equipment and larger new equipment takes up a large amount of the roadway.

Exercise extra precaution when sharing the road with vehicles that have the slow moving vehicle sign on the back. Please remember to take things slowly and exercise safety in your daily work.

Mixed results in ag’s battle against greenhouse gases

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer In some ways the battle against greenhouse gases has been a losing one and, in regard to agriculture, a somewhat unsettled one.

“We’ve made a lot of progress the last 30 to 40 years on particulates, sulphur and things of that nature.

Acid rain, for example, is not the problem it used to be. In general our city air is cleaner than it used to be,” said John Baker, research leader with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Ag Research Service, “but there has been little progress over greenhouse gases.”

Speaking July 23 at a farm field day event, Baker said that agriculture’s role regarding greenhouse gases is still being sorted out.

“Initially there was a lot of optimism that if we adopted certain farming practices we could ‘soak up’, so to speak, a lot of the excess carbon dioxide,” he said. “But that optimism has tempered because the problem is so large in terms of emissions that changes in farming practices just didn’t impact the atmosphere.”

Early thinking, said Baker, was that a major shift to no-till farming could sequester a lot of carbon, but it looks like those amounts are very modest.

John Baker

Dave Frederickson

“Even if you accept some of the initial estimates, the amount of CO2 that’s being emitted into the atmosphere, primarily from coal and gasoline consumption, is so great that the contribution we can make from carbon sequestration is likely not going to slow things down,” he said.

But he emphasized there are other good reasons to build organic matter and store carbon in soils. “It improves soil fertility and water holding capacity,” Baker said, “so we still want to encourage that strategy, but it’s not going to be a big player in our greenhouse gas solutions.”

Perhaps a bigger potential benefit from no-till farming is on the issue of nitrous oxide.

“It’s a much more potent greenhouse gas,” said Baker. “It’s present in much smaller concentrations but nitrogen fertilizer is the major source of this contaminant so things that we can do

STALLMAN, from pg. 25A optimistic because the world needs American agriculture. There’ll be some adjustments, but at the end of the day, American agriculture will still be standing strong.”

Texas cattle industry With drought forcing a near sellout of the Texas cattle industry the past 2 to 3 years, will they rebuild? If so, how?

“I get asked that question a lot,” said Stallman.

“Yes, we did practically decimate our Texas cattle herd, but you’ve got to look at where the numbers were coming from. A lot of these were small producers with 30-40 cows. They sold their calves because it cost too much to keep them.

“But the big guys got pasture up in the Midwest; some even renting pasture land up here in Minnesota. So they’ve somewhat maintained their cow numbers. Now that we’re getting some moisture regrowing our pastures, these guys will restock their Texas pastures. So yes, we will restock but, given the price of heifers, it’s going to take awhile.”

Beef prices Have beef prices gotten so high that retail beef at the meat counter is slowing? Again, Stallman said he is asked that question frequently.

“Restaurants keep raising their prices. People keep paying those prices for high-end beef because beef continues a favorite,” he said. “It will affect substitution of beef with other meats, poultry most likely, because pork prices stay up due to the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus issue.

“But I’ve been amazed at how demand for quality beef continues strong. Everybody keeps eating hamburger regardless.” ❖

“That’s an incredible happening. USDA Ag Secretary Vilsack came out also, plus Gov. Dayton signed off on this memo of understanding involving USDA, EPA and the State of Minnesota. We are the lead agency on this effort. I’m excited because I know good things will happen.” ❖

Pioneer Power Show celebrates 41 years

Tractor pull, antique displays a reminder of the good ol’ days

By JESSICA BIES Mankato Free Press A plume of black smoke rose into the air as the rust-speckled tractor ground to a stop, its wheels spinning in the soft, still-damp dirt.

“That’s 186 feet even!”

The announcer’s voice could just barely be heard over the steady roar of the dozens upon dozens of antique tractors. John Deere, Farmall, Case, Cockshutt — they lined up at the east end of the track for the 41st-annual Le Sueur County (Minn.) Pioneer Power Show tractor pull, chugging into place one by one as they were called forth to compete.

“What else do I do with that old tractor?” said Mark Kelly just minutes before hopping on his 1955 Case 440 D and hitting the track himself. “I don’t farm anymore. It’s not like I use it for anything.”

Just about all it’s good for is tractor pulling, he said, a competitive sport in which tractors are used to pull weighted sleds. The sled contains a box filled with weights that is winched forward as the tractor progresses down

the track.

“The further you go along, the more weight is put on the tractor,” Kelly said. “...It used to be, the men would all line up on the track and just jump on the sled themselves to add weight, but now it’s all mechanized.

From Walnut Grove, Kelly participates in tractor pulls whenever he can.

His tractor isn’t powerful enough to win the competitions, but that doesn’t matter, he said. He comes to see his competitors’ machines and talk, enjoying the camaraderie that seems to bond so many antique tractor collectors and enthusiasts.

The Pioneer Power Show was built upon that camaraderie, said Pioneer Power Association President Tom Graham.

Founded by a group of local farmers, it got its start 41 years ago, shortly after the country’s bicentennial. To celebrate the U.S.’s 200th anniversary, the men dusted off their father’s and grandfather’s old tractors and formed a parade, chugging down the streets of POWER SHOW, pg. 29A

dees had less experience with farm equipment.

Ann Bogren, of Carver, sat in the grass on the far end of the grounds watching the tractor pull with her 5year-old son Ethan Rain and her 8year-old daughter Julia Rain.

It was the family’s first time attending the event, but Bogren said they were getting a huge kick out of it.

“It’s awesome,” Bogren said. “I’m getting all into it.”

“They’re cool,” her son Ethan said of the antique tractors. “Their wheels are so big.”

Near them, Ben Michel was getting ready to hook his 1952 Farmall up to one of the weighted sleds. Another tractor, called Grandma’s Toy, revved its engine as he watched.

“I sharpen lawn mower blades for a living,” Michel said, explaining that tractor pulling was just a hobby.

He eyed the 300-foot-long track and tried to guess how far he’d be able to make it, before running out to help Dick Olson, the other tractor’s owner readjust his weights.

“Years ago, I used to make it to the end,” he said. “We’ll see if I can do it with this one.”

POWER SHOW, from pg. 28A Le Sueur County on Farmalls and Fords.

It was so much fun messing with the old machines, that they decided to do it again the next year, Graham said.

Before they knew it, a tradition was formed.

“We had shows in a stubble field just down the road,” Graham said. “And in 1979, we moved here.”

“Here” is a 110-acre piece of land located about 10 miles east of Le Sueur. Somewhere between 15,000 and 25,000 people flock to the Pioneer Power Show Grounds every year for live music, historic displays, parades and more, Grahams said, all featured over the course of three days.

“Some people say it’s better than the state fair,” Grahams said with a laugh.

“I won’t say it, but some people do. It’s at least an alternative.”

The show has a different feature or showcase each year — this summer it was classic tractors and vintage snowmobiles — and occasionally attracts local celebrity.

In attendance was Herb Howe, winner of the first-ever International 500 snowmobile race to St. Paul from Winnipeg. A 523-mile trek, Howe finished it in 13 hours, 37 minutes and 54 seconds.

“There was 78 entries and I happened to finish first, “ Howe said. “... It was cold and it was bumpy. It was 45 below when we left Winnipeg and 24 below when we hit St. Paul.”

Howe’s vintage snowmobile only vaguely resembles the snowsleds manufactured and sold today and in many ways is like the vintage tractors that form the base of the Pioneer Power Show. The old machines can’t help but remind Howe of the 1950s and ‘60s, he said.

He wasn’t the only one taken back to the good ‘ol days. A few hundred yards away from him Jeff Heine sat watching a parade of old tractors with his grandson Taylor Turek.

The big machines made Heine feel nostalgic. The Belle Plaine man not only grew up on a farm, but used to restore vintage tractors.

The pride and joy of his collection? A 1956 Allis Chalmers.

“My father had the same tractor when I grew up out on the farm,” he said.

Paul and Jill Rollenhagen started their 2 1/2 acre vineyard near St. Clair five years ago.

By TIM KROHN Mankato Free Press Paul and Jill Rollenhagen have been in the hobbyist vineyard business for five years and are still waiting for that “normal” year.

“You have to wait three years to harvest grapes, so we’ve only had two years of real harvest and they were weird weather,” Jill said.

Paul said that two springs ago brought too much rain that drowned out some of the vines. Then there was an early and harsh winter, followed by this spring’s wet and cold weather.

“For our particular vineyard, it’s not going to be a great harvest,” Paul said.

The Minnesota grape harvest is expected to be down by as much as 80 percent or more for many vineyards.

Minnesota Grape Growers president Irv Geary told The Associated Press that a Forest Lake winery will harvest only about 7,000 pounds of grapes this year, less than a third of its usual 25,000 pounds.

The state’s 50 wineries, as well as many smaller vineyards, grow grapes that are designed to endure colder weather, but the past winter was too harsh.

“It got real cold last November and it stayed cold,” said Ray Winter of Indian Island Winery near Janesville, Minn.

“It was too much cold too long, it killed a lot of primary buds.” He said vineyards from the Twin Cities area and north had more damage, with many losing entire vines.

“Our crop will be down,” Winter said.

“Most people in this area will get a third or half a crop.”

Most hobby vineyards are happy with a 2-3 ton per acre harvest in a good year, while professionals such as Winter can get as much as 5 tons in his vineyards in a good year.

Winter said he will have enough grapes for his winery with a combination of his grapes and those he buys from other growers. And the prices of grapes won’t go up, as he has contracts that pay 65-75 cents per pound with his growers, which include the Rollenhagens.

The Rollenhagens started the vineyard after moving to a 13-acre rural site near St. Clair, Minn., six years ago.

They have 2 1/2 acres, mostly in Marquette grapes, but also some La Crescent. She works at Head Start and he at Minnesota Elevator.

“We went to the U of M to learn about growing grapes and it really intrigued us

and we had enough land and we thought we know how to handle hard work,” Jill said. “Holy cow is it hard work. All the time. You have to be out there every few weeks mowing, controlling weeds spraying for bugs and fungus.”

Two years ago the couple recruited 50 friends, family and co-workers to harvest grapes. After a long day of work and a second day with a smaller crew, there were still grapes on the vines.

“After that we decided we weren’t going to do that again. Our family was afraid to take calls from us,” Jill said.

They eventually bought a mechanical harvester, a used one from a retiring vineyard owner in Washington state.

“It works great,” Paul said. “We can do an acre in an hour and a half with two people.”

They also use the machine to do customer harvesting for other small vineyards in the area.

Paul also has a growing home winemaking setup in their basement. He started making 50 bottles and last year made 250.

He said they have four more acres that would be good land for grapes, but for now they’re holding off. “We need to treat it more like a business than a passion. We’re making money, but if you consider all the hours, we’re probably making minimum wage — the old minimum wage.”

Because of the lower harvest some Minnesota wineries will be importing grapes from the East and West coasts.

That doesn’t necessarily drive up the costs of business, as grapes or juice from major vineyards can often be imported for about the same cost as locally grown grapes.

But Winter said his family won’t bring in any outside grapes.

“We will be 100 percent Minnesota grapes and wines here. We pride ourselves in that,” he said “We want to be Minnesota wine, not imported. Making California wine in Minnesota isn’t what we want to do.”

Indian Island recently won a gold medal for its Marquette at the prestigious Indy International Wine Competition in Indianapolis, which drew more than 2,200 competitors.

They also recently won six medals at the Mid-American Wine Competition in Iowa.

For 9-year-old Caleb Mathoweitz, who came from St. Clair, Minn., the tractor rides were the best part of the trip.

“I thought it was really cool and this is probably a really cool experience for me,” he said.

His friend, 8-year-old Gabe Sonnek of Mapleton, Minn., tried to describe what the tractor’s cab was like.

“It was kinda small, kinda crowded but really cool,” he said.

Both boys said they didn’t know much about farming but wanted to learn more.

Part of St. Clair Schools Kids Connection summer program, they were there with a group of 16.

Their chaperone, Tate Rose, said the trip fit perfectly into Kids Connection curriculum and provides

“We like to do educational units every week,” Rose said.

“Since St. Clair is pretty rural, this is a perfect way to cover agriculture and farms.”

By JESSICA BIES Mankato Free Press Extending first only the tips of their shoes, then their whole feet, the group of blue-clad children inched their way out onto the soybean field, weaving carefully around the nearly knee-high plants before crouching down to examine their leaves.

Rachael Anderson, an intern with the Minnesota Soybean Office, stood at the edge of the veritable sea of plants, watching as the kids waded out among them. They were looking for aphids, she explained, small, yellow-bodied insects less than one-sixteenth of an inch long.

Though diminutive, the bugs pose a serious threat to state’s soybean crops, Anderson said. Kids participating in Farm Camp Minnesota near Waseca got to see how prevalent the aphids are firsthand.

“There’s about 100 over here!” one of the kids shouted.

Anderson squatted down at the edge of the field and turned over a leaf to reveal more of the insects before looking out at the kids.

“They love actually going out there and being able to touch and feel and find them themselves,” she said.

“There’s some more over here!” another one of the kids shouted over her head.

Held annually, Farm Camp Minnesota gives kids not only a chance hunt for aphids, but walk among corn stalks, take tractor rides, see cows and calves, pigs, poultry and more.

It also teaches them the difference between the beef and dairy industry, the vast number of products that contain corn or soy, and how modern technology is used to grow enough crops to feed the entire world, said Andrea Hildebrandt, one of the event’s organizers.

For three years in a row, Farm Camp has striven to teach area third-, fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders all about modern-day farming.

“The main purpose is to teach the kids about modern agriculture and where their food comes from,” Hildebrandt said.

“The U.S. produces the safest food and most abundant food supply in the world.”

The camp itself is put on by local farmers and agribusiness people who love farming and want to share that passion with area youth.

Tyler Anderson, with Owatonna’s Ag Power Enterprises, gave kids rides in a large John Deere tractor.

He fielded all kinds of questions from several youngsters, he said, many of whom have never seen such a large piece of machinery up close.

“They’re very curious and they’re pretty smart,” Anderson said. “I talked with a 9-year-old from Texas. I talked to an 8-year-old from Brunner yesterday. We even had a family from California. We gave a few adults rides too, because tractors today are so different.”

By HEIDI SAMPSON Mankato Magazine A good deal of Southern Minnesota’s heritage has centered on families working the land, raising beef cattle, dairy cattle, pigs and chickens.

Within the family farm environment, every single member of a family is crucial to its success or failure.

Early mornings and late evenings are the telltale signs of hard work and a solid sense of work ethic.

Today, the desire to provide quality food for their families, their neighbors and local community drives them to discover a niche of their own against farms 10 times their size.

Multi-generational farming has produced a love and respect for both land and animals, as today’s farmers practice sustainability, community-supported agriculture and diversity in a lifelong journey of working the land side-by-side.

Sustainable farming Prairie Pride Farm, owned by Roger and Dawn Hubmer, specializes in growing a variety of crops, chickens and hogs, for direct market. Currently, their son, Paul, assists Roger with the crops, and is the sixth generation since 1878 to be involved with the Mankato-area farm.

In 1997-98, when hog prices took a dive, the Hubmers decided to change tactics from traditional farming to more of a direct-market approach after a friend mentioned they should consider selling their meat at a farmers market. It took at least six months for Roger and Dawn to develop their business plan, complete the necessary research, obtain licenses, as well as a meat locker that could handle the inspection process associated with chickens.

“Our hog and chicken farming is geared toward the direct sales market, rather than the traditional farm market,” said Dawn. “We didn’t really trust the direction that Hormel or the pork producers (associations) were headed at that time, as far as raising lean pork. We believe that when you make a lean product, you sacrifice the flavor. So, our belief kind of See FARMS, pg. 33A

Farming takes hard work, but way of life is rewarding “We’ve been diversified since day one,” said David. “We are constantly buying and selling. We operate on a rotating basis of a couple of loads a month. What I love about farming is that there’s freedom on the farm. We could be doing everything from chores to bedding to repairs to field work or

even routine maintenance with the herd. Farming takes hard work and good work ethics, but this way of life is also very rewarding.”

low income by giving them good quality food,” said Adam. “We also donate to the St. Peter Area Food Shelf as well.”

An average day on Living Land Farm starts at 7 a.m. and finishes around 9 p.m. The content of the day varies, as Mondays and Thursdays are reserved for the CSA harvest. Wholesale harvests take place on Tuesdays and Fridays.

“Typically, it’s four days of harvesting and three days of weeding and planting,” said Adam. “Spring’s a little different. I spend a ton of time in the greenhouses and in the barn, getting our transplants going. We grow all of our own plants from seed, which are around 15,000 to 20,000 plants a year.”

The CSA season ends around midNovember. From late-November to late-February, Adam spends his time reassessing the previous growing season, putting seed orders together and preparing his yearly organic certification papers.

“I just follow the plan,” said Adam.

“It would be chaos otherwise.”

Collaboration of diversity Less than a mile outside of St. George, Wallace Wendinger started a dairy farm in 1954. In a joint effort, Wallace’s wife, Shirley, and their four children, two of which were twins, David and Don, and their younger sisters, helped run the family’s farm.

In 1981, Wallace and Shirley moved to town while David and his wife, Ann, moved into the home farm and took over the dairy operation. Don and wife Karen established their own dairy set up roughly a mile away.

David and Don later would diversify their interest by combining forces to create a corporation known as D & D Wendinger Farms.

“For livestock, we work our own,” said Don. “However, field work and big decisions are done together.”

By September 2003, David and Don realized they needed to update their barns if they were to continue with dairy cattle. The costs associated with updating led them to raising cattle instead. Today, they buy Holstein calves and feeder cattle, finishing them out on both farms.

Between the two locations, they have roughly 400-450 head of cattle. They also raise hogs for Wakefield Pork, Inc., as well as maintain a diversified crop base of 650 to 700 acres of corn, soy beans and alfalfa for the calves.

FARMS, from pg. 32A took a different path.”

Roger and Dawn began their direct marketing approach at the Mankato Farmers Market. Today, they sell their meat at the St. Paul Farmers Market.

Roger handles the day-to-day operations of the farm, while Dawn handles the marketing, website maintenance and farmer’s market aspect of their direct-market business.

“We believe in sustainable farming practices,” said Roger. “Our goal is to keep the food we raise, make and sell as clean as possible. In that way, our farming sets us apart.”

Community Supported Agriculture Living Land Farms, a Community Supported Agricultural system, is situated on St. Peter-area property Adam Ellefson’s grandparents purchased in the early 1950s.

Adam and his wife, Lupita Marchan, spent their first summer furiously building infrastructures to support their CSA dream, after purchasing 22 acres, six of which were tillable, in 2009. By spring of 2010, their first crops were placed in the ground.

Today, their property contains two greenhouses, a small barn, a well, electricity, and a fence to keep the deer out.

“My job in Duluth centered on prairie restoration,” said Adam, “We grew native plants and used tractors to work the land. We were farming, just not this kind of farming. But we fell in love with the idea of organic farming. We knew this land was here and thought if we ever had the opportunity to buy it, we would.”

As a thriving CSA system of 45 members, Living Land Farm also sells wholesale to the St. Peter Food Co-op as well as the River Rock Coffee shop.

For the past three or four years, they have partnered with beer brewer Finnegan’s and its ‘Harvest for the Hungry’ program, which operates in conjunction with the Emergency Food Shelf Network.

The program partners with area food shelves and on-site meal programs with CSA farms to donate and deliver local, fresh produce to those in need. In fact, 100 percent of Finnegan’s beer proceeds go directly to Finnegan’s Community Fund, which supports the CSAs that provide food to help alleviate hunger in Minnesota.

Dairy’s shift to cheese making a slow, tasty process

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Switching your dairy operation from selling milk to making and selling cheddar cheese is one huge shift in strategy, especially when you’re milking 180 cows.

But that significant transformation recently happened for Alise Lucas Sjostrom and Lucas Sjostrom, operators of Brooten, Minn.-based Redhead Creamery. In fact, one of their very first batches of cheddar cheese was a delectable treat Aug. 5 in the Agricultural Utilization Research Institute tent at Farmfest where The Land talked with Lucas Sjostrom.

“We’re on our fifth make of cheese curds,” he said.

“My wife Alise and her mother, Linda, are now making cheese curds three days a week. The cheese making occurs about 100 feet from where the cows are milked so this is indeed a close knit family operation.”

You start slowly in this business, especially when you’re dealing with a food product with a limited shelf life. Sjostrom said only about 15 percent of

The great American tractor ride

Falling price of farmland sparks fears of bust third of the nation’s corn crop each year to make fuel.

The high prices gave many crop farmers their most profitable years ever. In Minnesota an analysis of profits by some 1,300 crop farmers’ showed they made an average profit in 2012 of about $250,000.

However, if the current high prices for farmland amount to an economic bubble, much like the housing market went through in the recent recession, that would bode poorly for the state’s economy.

But it’s unclear yet whether farmland prices are too high as so far declines have been relatively minor.

Still, some farmers, bankers and others in the agricultural industry are concerned about a possible price collapse.

One way to measure whether a bubble is about to burst is to watch the pace of the land price decline, said Sterling Liddell, senior vice president for food and agribusiness research for Rabobank.

Liddell said the danger comes if prices drop only a little and then hold steady or even climb again. That would increase the chances that the high cost of land is a bubble with land priced too high for what it generates in revenue.

Prices need to drop slowly, he said, to match the reduced income lower priced crops are generating.

“Land has to follow these fundamental drivers or we will start to be concerned that there’s a bubble building in this sector,” Liddell said. ❖

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

“So we’re seeing this environment where the crop prices for corn, soybeans and wheat have all come down over the last year or two,” Mahon said. “And that’s reflected in lower farm incomes.”

With incomes down, fewer farmers can afford land, and with a smaller number of farmers bidding for the available acres, land prices are slipping. Grain prices are not expected to recover any time soon, given record supplies of corn and soybeans predicted for the nation’s fall harvest.

“Farm incomes have come down,” Mahon said. “And they’re probably going to stay down for a little while.”

But not everyone agrees the trend necessarily means land prices will take a big drop. Some farm analysts believe farmland prices are stable.

Despite low crop prices, other factors are helping to keep the land market steady, said Randy Dickhut, vice president of real estate operations for Omaha-based Farmers National Company, which sells farmland across the Midwest.

Low-interest rates are available to finance deals and many farmers still have plenty of cash on hand to invest in land, Dickhut said, “profits that farmers and landowners have realized over the last few years.”

Corn prices soared in the past five years to their highest level ever.

Much of the boom was driven by increasing demand from the ethanol industry, which now uses more than a

THE LAND, AUGUST 29, 2014

By MARK STEIL Minnesota Public Radio News The boom in farmland prices of recent years could be cooling, setting up a potential economic blow to Minnesota farmers.

Minnesota’s farmland is worth about $100 billion, and given that land often accounts for 80 percent of a farm’s assets, that value has served as an economic engine. It provides farmers the collateral they need to buy equipment and grow crops.

But the most recent quarterly survey agricultural bankers by the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, which tracks the important asset, shows Minnesota farmland prices have started to decline, said Joe Mahon, a regional economist for the Fed. Prices per acre have fallen about 4 1/2 percent from what they were a year ago. That would reflect a decline of about $4 billion in farm wealth across the state, reversing a steady upward trend for much of the last decade, when land prices more than doubled in value.

At the end of last year, farm land sold for an average of about $4,800 an acre — and the best land more than twice that. At $10,000 an acre, a hundred acres could cost $1 million or more.

Mahon said land prices began falling in the state late last year after the selling price of corn — the state’s most valuable crop — tumbled to unprofitable levels.

He said the prices of other commodities also fell.

Aquatic invasives targeted with new money

THE LAND, AUGUST 29, 2014 Pat Christman/Mankato Free Press

Minnesota Department of Natural Resources watercraft inspector Justin Peeters examines a boat for aquatic invasive species during a check at the Lake Tetonka landing. Le Sueur County (Minn.) has the most boat launches (27) and boat parking spots (377) of Mankato-area counties, giving it the largest share ($71,088) in state funding to help fight the spread of aquatic invasive species.

By DAN LINEHAN Mankato Free Press A new effort to protect Minnesota’s waters from aquatic invaders that clog its lakes with weeds or out-compete and starve its native fish enlists the help of all the state’s 87 counties.

“In the Land of 10,000 Lakes, with not only a huge tourism industry but also a barge industry, our waters are critical,” said Rep. Clark Johnson of North Mankato, who sits on the natural resources committee.

The Legislature appropriated $4.5 million for this year and $10 million a year after that to limit the spread of aquatic invasive species like zebra mussels and Eurasian water milfoil. The money already has started to flow to counties, which are now making plans for how to spend it.

Le Sueur County has the most watercraft parking spaces and boat launches of any south-central Minnesota county — and therefore the most funding, set at $71,088 this year. It is forming a group of interested participants to create a plan for the County Board’s approval.

Because invasive species typically need human help to migrate, a primary component of the effort will be education about how to spot them.

At the top of the list are zebra mussels, though this is the only area of the state without an infestation, said Allison Gamble, an invasive species specialist with the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

These prolific breeders can lay 50,000 eggs at a time, she said, and can filter out food for tiny fish.

Even after they die, the shells’ sharp edges can put entire lakes off-limits for the barefoot.

Asian carp, renamed “invasive carp” by the Legislature out of a concern for its racial connotations, are likewise not found in this area, apart from the occasional individual fish. Flooding this June was a concern, though, as it allows the fish to be carried into new waterways.

In this area, plants are the biggest threat, especially Eurasian water milfoil and curly leaf pondweed, Gamble said. Milfoil can reproduce from fragments just a few inches long. That means the difference between a clear lake and one with a thick mat of vegetation is one tiny hitchhiker.

And, like many invasive species, once it arrives the approach is management rather than eradication, Gamble said.

The state’s lake associations are likely to be important partners in educating the public about invasive species, Johnson said.

Trudi Olmanson, a board member of the Lake Hallett Association, said a motorboat brought curly-leaf pondweed to the small St. Peter lake in the early summer of 1998.

Since then, the weed has its good and bad years but has been more or less a constant presence. In the summer, it clumps into big masses and dies in July.

As it decays, it releases phosphorus into the lake, triggering algae growths.

“The one good thing about curly-leaf pondweed is it’s excellent garden fertilizer,” she said. “I rake it up.”

Heidi’s Village, near Maienfeld, Switzerland

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

S

he’s not real, of course, but you’d be excused if you thought otherwise after visiting her tiny village in the hills above Maienfeld, in the Swiss canton of Graubünden.

The storybook girl, Heidi, sprung forth from the mind of author Johanna Spyri in 1880 and would become one of the world’s best-selling books of all time.

The tale of the orphan girl from the alps would also be adapted for motion pictures, television and stage countless times, perhaps most famously in the 1937 film “Heidi” starring a nine-yearold Shirley Temple in the title role.

If you happen to find yourself traveling the hills and valleys of eastern

Switzerland, you’ll be walking the same paths trod by Spyri during her childhood summers, paths that would form the vivid setting of her famous work of literature.

Witnessing the stunning landscape alone is worth the trip. But as long as you’re there, you might as well visit Heidi’s house, enjoy watching Heidi’s bell-ringing dairy cows and goats, grab a bite to eat at the Heidihof restaurant, sip from the Heidi fountain and, naturally, take a stroll through the Heidi gift shop.

Back down in Maienfeld, you can even pull up a stool and have a drink at the Heidi wine bar.

There’s something for everyone. ❖
