OPINION

As detailed by a United Nations report Sept. 16 (and faithfully reported by the Times later that day), “More than 800 million people worldwide do not get enough to eat, even as the world produces more than twice as much food as it needs…”

That’s right, it goes on to explain, “Feeding the world is no longer a question of growing more food.

The Food and Agriculture Organization, one of the three agencies that produced the report, says the world produces twice the amount of food that the population needs. The problem is poverty.”

So will American farmers rethink export-based United States farm policies that already supply more food than the world’s hungry cannot eat because they cannot afford it?

Nope. And that’s a fact.

Here’s another: our political leaders aren’t lost; they’re following us.

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 26, 2014

The number of young farmers is trending modestly upwards, according to the 2012 Ag Census released earlier this year. Young, beginning principal operators who reported their primary occupation as farming increased 11.3 percent from 36,396 to 40,499 between 2007 and 2012.

This increase in new blood is a welcome sight for a sector that has grown long in the teeth in recent years. But if we hope to continue this trend, strong farm policy is key.

Our farmers, particularly young farmers, face exceptional risks in today’s environment. In addition to the unpredictability of Mother Nature, young farmers starting out are also facing higher input costs and lower crop prices, unprecedented global subsidization, regulatory burdens, and vocal opponents determined to weaken the farm safety net.

Other improvements to promote beginning farmers and ranchers include the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program which funds farmer education programs. The new farm bill also makes credit more available for beginning farmers through a microloan program.

The fact that the number of young farmers has started trending upwards is a positive development that hasn’t been seen in a number of years. But this modest increase is not nearly large enough to offset the number of farmers rapidly approaching retirement age.

These emerging farmers and ranchers — and those considering a career in agriculture — need to know they have the tools to succeed. Certainly, these young farmers have a lot of passion and heart, but that doesn’t do you a lot of good when you’re suffer-

Cover story:

September frost results in patchy damage across region

By MARIE WOOD The Land Associate Editor For Minnesota and northern Iowa farmers, the frost in the early morning hours of Sept. 13 was another setback in a tough growing season. While there may be a small yield loss in corn and soybeans, growers associations report that frost damage was patchy.

“What we’ve seen and heard is it’s quite spotty and variable in geography and genetics,” said Dan Lemke, communications director for the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association.

Information released by University of Minnesota Extension supports that assessment. While frost affected many corn and soybean fields in central, west central and southwest Minnesota, the damage appeared to be highly variable based on local climate conditions, crop maturity and topographical features, reported Extension agronomists.

For soybeans, most reports to Extension offices indicated that the soybean crop was nipped slightly at the tops or in rare cases frozen down into the canopy. A mild September would have helped plants reach full maturity since many fields were planted late or replanted due to excessive rain.

How frost impacts soybeans Yield impacts to crops is affected by three main factors — the developmental stage of the crop, how cold it got, and duration of the lowest temperature, reported Iowa State University Extension.

Dan Lemke

Adam Czech

Dean Meyer

Based on survey work and anecdotal information, MSGA estimates that the frost will cause a 5-10 percent yield loss statewide.

Paul Meints, research programs manager, was scouting fields for the association on Sept. 18. Meints waited a couple days for the leaves to burn down in order to better view the impact. Between Mankato and Janesville, Minn., the fields looked bad, he said.

Lemke heard from one soybean grower in Argyle, Minn., who is estimating a 20 percent yield loss.

On a positive note, the plants are not completely dead, but when the upper leaves get zapped, they will not reach the full potential due to the loss of photosynthetic capabilities. In addition, some soy-

Generally speaking, temperatures below 30 F for an extended period of time is needed to kill the entire soybean plant. Yield will not be affected once the physiological maturity has been reached.

Most soybean fields in north central Iowa are in the R6 (full seed) to R7 (beginning maturity) stage. Soybean at R6 could potentially lose 50 percent of yield if the entire plant is killed. At R7, the potential yield loss could be five percent, again if the entire plant is killed. Without a killing frost, yield loss potential is more difficult to estimate.

A bigger concern might be the premature death — from frost or disease pathogens — of the plant before grain dry down begins.

Crops killed prematurely tend to be of higher grain moisture, take longer to dry, and often have slightly lower test weight.

These issues can lead to harvest, grain drying and storage challenges that will need to be addressed in the near future.

— This information was provided by ISU Extension agronomists Angie Ricek-Hinz and Mark Licht. bean plants are more cold hardy than others because of genetics, said Lemke.

“Early frost is never a good thing. The last couple years, we haven’t had what you call a normal spring planting. Having Jack Frost stay away a little longer than he did would have helped us reach maximum potential. Some folks did escape, but others not so much,” Lemke said.

Minnesota corn It appears that Minnesota corn was not as vulnerable as soybeans to the frost.

“In talking to a bunch of different farmers, they don’t seem overly concerned that it affected their corn crops. They are more concerned about soybeans,” said Adam Czech, public relations manager of the Minnesota Corn Growers Association.

Corn planted later might take a hit, but Czech said that until harvest we won’t know the answer to yield loss. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Sept. 12 crop report estimated the Minnesota corn yield at 170 bushels per acre. A lot of farmers think that number is overly optimistic, he said.

“No one will know for sure until they start harvesting what the frost might have done. The edges of the field might have gotten it worse than the middle of the fields,” said Czech.

‘Frost changed the beans’ FROST, from 6A Iowa corn Corn and soybean producer Dean Meyer farms in Lyons County, just west of Rock Rapids, Iowa, and is District 1 director for the Iowa Corn Growers Association. He said the frost affected some of his fields and not others. Throughout the area, he saw the same spotty effects with low-lying areas hit hardest.

“It isn’t all over, but it’s very evident,” said Meyer of the frost damage.

Meyer had been waiting to chop a corn field for silage, but the moisture was too high, at 65 percent.

Within four to five days of the frost, the moisture dropped to 57 percent. His target was 60 percent. The frost sped up the drying process for the leaves so he chopped the corn Sept. 18.

“Normally this is the time we chop, but everything was grass green two weeks ago. After the frost, the top half of the stalk turned white. The plant itself dries down really fast when it freezes. The leaves get dry and crisp,” said Meyer.

When it comes to the corn kernel or grain, a freeze slows down the drying process.

“Historically when it freezes prematurely, it will slow down the natural drying process of the corn. It takes more time for it to dry down and it can damage the test weight a little bit,” he said. “Hot and dry windy days will help.”

It’s tough to tell how the yield will be affected.

“We could lose a little bit on the top end for the bushel,” Meyer said.

Iowa soybeans Iowa State University Extension reported the morning of Sept. 13 saw temperatures as low as 30 F in north central Iowa, causing light frost damage to the uppermost leaves on soybean. Reports to Extension offices generally indicate only the top few inches of the soybean plants were affected.

Meyer’s predictions for his soybean plants may not be scientific, but they’re rooted in experience. He said that prior to the frost, the soybean plants looked pretty good with plenty of moisture.

“That frost that night changed the beans; you can see it,” he said.

The top pods of the bean plants were just filling out, but the frost froze them.

“That’s where the extra bushels are. We will lose some of that, so 1 to 3 bushels an acre,” said Meyer.

“We don’t know anything ’til it’s in the combine and the bin. I’m just going by experience.”

This story included information from University of Minnesota Extension provided by Seth Naeve, Extension soybean agronomist; Jeff Coulter, Extension corn agronomist; Dave Nicolai, Extension educator-crops; Liz Stahl, Extension educator-crops; and Phyllis Bongard, educational content development and communications specialist. ❖

Effect of frost damage on corn, soybeans varies percent. If only the leaves are damaged, the grain loss might be 41 percent. If you’re able to combine grain, the test weight could be less than 47 pounds.

In the dent stage, where stalks and leaves are damaged, there might be a corn silage loss of 21 percent or a grain loss of 55 percent. If only the leaves are ruined, there might be a 23 percent grain loss. The test weight might be in the 47 pound range.

At 3/4 milk line, corn killed by frost could have a silage loss of 15 percent or a grain loss of 35 percent. If only the leaves are damaged, a grain loss of about 18 percent is expected and the test weight could land around 50 pounds. At half milk line, corn with leaves and stalks damaged by frost might have a silage loss of 5 percent or a grain yield loss of 10 percent. Corn with only leaves killed at half milk line might have a 5 percent grain loss and a 53 pound test weight if dried properly. At half milk line, yield and mar-

ket quality for grain can still turn out well.

How fast can we expect frozen immature corn to dry down? The grain moisture at dent stage is about 60 percent. With typical drying rates starting at Sept. 15, this corn grain could still be 38 percent moisture on Nov. 1. By contrast, corn grain at half milk line on Sept. 15 would have kernel moisture at about 40 percent. If killed by frost at half milk line on Sept. 15, with drying rates based on average weather, this corn grain could be 25 percent moisture on Oct. 6.

Typical grain moisture loss per day Sept. 26-Oct. 5 is 0.5 to 0.75 percent; Oct. 6-15, 0.25 to 0.5 percent; Oct. 1631, 0 to 0.33 percent; and after Oct. 31 very little. Obviously weather conditions are a major factor.

the frost, they should have a fairly good chance of ripening to a yellow color with favorable weather. Time will tell. Where fields or parts of fields had a golden brown color at the time of frost, soybeans were likely close to full yield compared to fields and parts of fields where green leaves froze.

Corn Corn clues might be gained from an article posted by University of Minnesota Extension corn agronomist Jeff Coulter titled, “Yield and Harvest Considerations for Frost Damaged Corn.”

The future of the corn crop is determined by the extent of frost damage to leaves, stalk, ear shank and kernels. If the shank and kernel connection is still alive, nutrients can still move to the kernels from the stalk and any remaining green leaf material. If the shank connection is killed by frost, it will start to discolor and might have a spoiled smell within a few days to a week after the frost. If the kernel connection is killed, a premature blacklayer will start to form inside the kernel tip from four to five days to a week or so after the frost. In this case, black layer is a poor indicator of kernel or plant moisture.

When the stalks and leaves are damaged by frost for corn in the dough stage, there might be a silage yield loss of 30 percent or a grain yield loss of 66

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 26, 2014

Here are some ways that frost can affect your fields and yields.

Soybeans Soybeans are at the beginning of the R6 stage when one pod at one of the four top nodes contains green seeds that totally fill the pod cavity. The nodes are the locations on the stem where a pod or cluster of pods is attached. Killing the crop at the R6 stage, could result in as much as 50 percent yield loss. We have plenty of soybeans in the area that are not this far along yet.

At the R6.5 stage, pods all the way to the top of the plant are filled with green seeds that totally fill the pod. At this point 85 percent of the crop might be made and killing the plant could result in a yield loss of about 15 percent. Yields on many fields have already been limited by late planting and wet weather.

At R7, one normal pod on the main stem has reached a mature pod color.

Fifty percent or more of the leaves might be yellow at this time. At this point of physiological maturity, 100 percent of the potential yield should be there.

I’ve watched soybeans in previous years where plants were totally green prior to frost and at or near the R6.5 stage. Where pods stayed green after

Frost slows plant progress; ‘big impact’ in places

By JOSH MONIZ Mankato Free Press MANKATO, Minn. — Some farmers just aren’t going to get a break this growing season. An early frost a week ago is another hit they’ve had to weather.

Kent Thiesse, a farm analyst and vice president at MinnStar Bank, described the impact of the frost as “checkerboard” from field to field. He said the impact from plant to plant was largely dependent on the geography and amount of moisture present when temperatures dropped.

“It doesn’t matter in the bigger (national) picture,” Thiesse said. “But it could have a big impact on the (regional crops) depending on whether it was enough of a kill frost for some fields.”

The temperature drop came at an inconvenient time for Minnesota farmers, who are hoping to grow their crops into early October. They are seeking a late harvest because heavy rains last spring seriously delayed or killed crops in the region.

The heaviest impacted farms are

Minnesota crop progress • 91 percent of the corn crop was at or beyond the dent stage.

• Corn mature reached 19 percent.

• Corn crop conditions stand at 71 percent good to excellent.

• 81 percent of the soybean crop was turning color or beyond, four days behind average.

• 38 perccent of the soybean crop was dropping leaves; 65 percent in good to excellent condition.

Iowa crop progress • 92 percent of Iowa’s corn crop was in or beyond the dent stage.

• Corn mature reached 37 percent, 10 days behind normal.

• 76 percent of the corn acreage was reported in good to excellent condition.

• 79 percent of the soybean crop was turning color, three days behind average.

• 34 percent of the soybean acreage was dropping leaves; 74 percent in good to excellent condition.

— USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service crop progress data largely in Sibley and Le Sueur counties.

Amboy farmer Gary Eisenmenger said the lowest portions of his field got cold enough to freeze plants to the ground.

Eisenmenger is not waiting on replanted crops like many other regional farmers because his flooded fields stayed wet too long for a retry.

But even his remaining healthy crops of soybean and corn were struggling to mature because of the summer’s

unusually cool and wet weather.

“Our plants weren’t as mature. So, the frost significantly slows down the maturing process. That’s why the frost is a much bigger event than it should be,” Eisenmenger said.

Randy Rieke, general manager for the Farmers Co-op of Hanska, said he is expecting a widespread impact because of the frost’s impact on immature plants. He said many farmers are

struggling to find enough time for their plants to grow, even in areas less impacted earlier in the year.

He said the issue would be particularly important because he expects most Minnesota farmers to store the majority of their harvest, especially corn crops, in hopes that next spring will bring higher prices. He said the overwhelmingly large yields projected for the rest of the country is driving down crops prices to new lows.

“The immature plants can have more problems with long-term storage.”

Eisenmenger said the frost is not an insurmountable challenge, but it will take time to overcome.

“Mother Nature. Ha. She holds all of the cards. All this technology we have can easily be trumped. You can do everything right and Mother Nature can still kick you where it hurts,” Eisenmenger said. “But when Mother Nature cooperates, it’s wonderful.”

Iowa has bragging rights for wind power, jobs

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Iowa can’t claim to be the state with the most wind power in terms of total production, but on a per capita ranking the Hawkeye State is No. 1 in the nation.

Texas leads the United States, currently generating enough wind Al Zeitz energy to power 3.3 million homes.

According to a report from the American Wind Energy Association, Iowa produced enough electricity to power 1.4 million homes last year. Iowa now receives about 27 percent of its total energy from wind generation, placing it first in the nation. Iowa has 5,117 megawatts of installed wind energy capacity with 1,055 megawatts under construction.

The report ranks Iowa third in the nation in number of jobs — nearly 7,000 direct and indirect — tied to wind generation. Iowa wind companies include Siemens and TPI Composites, the maker of turbine blades, and Trinity Structural Towers, the maker of towers. According to AWEA, Iowa landowners receive about $16 million annually in lease payments for wind generation.

Turbine size continues to rise. During an energyfocused day at the Clay County Fair in Spencer, Iowa, Al Zeitz, manager of renewable energy services, at Iowa Lakes Electric Cooperative in Estherville, reported most new turbines being installed are now between 2 and 3 megawatt units.

And the price goes up too.

“Probably like $3 million to $4 million per turbine,” Zeitz said.

General Electric has the biggest market share of this wind industry resource in America, according to Zeitz.

The wind farms sprouting across the landscape are owned by various entities. Several communityowned wind farms have been installed, as well as

farmer-owned wind farms, said Zeitz. Some wind farms are owned by investor groups who make the initial investment, but in 10 years the wind farm becomes the property of the land owners. That’s called the Minnesota Flip, he said.

The Minnesota Flip is a business model developed to allow investors to take advantage of federal tax credits, while providing local owners the economic benefits of ownership.

The bulk of wind farms are owned by big-money energy firms. Developments of these multimillion dollar wind farms are specific to locations with dependable wind resources — Montana, North Dakota, western Minnesota, and a corridor feeding down into northwest Iowa represent the majority of new wind in the nation.

Wind energy has a strong booster in Iowa. Business magnate Warren Buffet is investing $2 billion in Iowa wind farms in 2014 and 2015.

On the bigger wind farms, groups of 50 to 100 wind turbines are now common.

When developing a wind farm, it is important to have a buyer for your power and transmission lines to move the energy to market.

“In this area of northwest Iowa, most of the transmission lines are already at capacity. So to expand our wind power we need to build new power lines,” said Zeitz.

Wind power has to compete against other low-cost power sources such as natural gas and coal. He also said that most wind projects are financed on the basis of about a 10-year payback.

Some activists continue a drumbeat against wind power.

“Overall the general public is in favor of developing wind and renewable energy. People are seeing the different values. There’s an environmental value and a financial value especially to small communities where these projects have been installed,” said Zeitz.

Renewable energy on the farm A wind and solar energy hybrid system at Phil Sundblad’s corn and soybean farm near Albert City, Iowa, showcases the sustainable nature of renewable energy. Sundblad installed a hybrid system of solar panels and a turbine on his farm last February.

“As electricity prices continue to rise this hybrid of wind and solar power look good,” said Sundblad.

Zeitz is a proponent of hybrid systems like the one Sundblad installed on his farm.

“Because the cost of solar has come down considerably, it’s now very cost effective. We’re now seeing a lot of small solar packages being installed,” said Zeitz.

Sundblad said the two systems complement each other because of the changing variability of each source of energy during the season.

“Typically during the summer we’re getting lots of solar energy generated; on cloudy, windy days my turbine is doing the job. That’s especially the situation in fall, winter, early spring,” Sundblad said.

percent tax credit.

“But it seems like Congress is OK about these stimulations because energy is a growing concern across America,” said Busse. “Coal, oil and natural gas have gotten tax benefits dating back to 1913. So we in the wind industry are basically asking for a level playing field. I think both state and federal tax benefits will be there.”

So what’s the true cost of that $75,000 turbine system after five years? The 30 percent tax benefit brings it down to $52,500. In the 25 percent tax bracket, the five-year accelerated depreciation would equate to about a $39,375 investment cost.

“Then figure in your electric bill. List your yearly cost right now and assume a three percent annual rate increase. In 10 years or less, your turbine should be totally cost-free,” he said.

Jonathan Peters, Ventera Wind Sales and Support, pointed out that wind power is now the biggest source of new energy each year. Much of this yearly growth is from utility scale wind farms with two to three megawatt turbines mounted on 280-feet-tall towers. A single wind turbine of this scale can power up to 500 homes.

“Small wind turbines powering homes and farms now number more than 69,000 across all 50 states, accounting for over 812 megawatts. That’s enough power for over 120,000 homes.

“Wind turbines are no longer a novelty but have become a productive piece of farm equipment. The power of the wind is yours to harvest,” said Peters.

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 26, 2014 “Where Farm and Family Meet”

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Small wind turbines are becoming attractive to farmers, because the investment in this green energy source is compensated with savings in electricity, tax credit incentives and accelerated depreciation schedules.

Glenn Rohlik of rural Seaforth, Minn., installed his first Ventera Wind system, a 10-kilowatt unit, in March.

“It’s working awesome. The first three months did over 2,000 kW per month. It’s cranking out about 76 kW per day. I’m so pleased I’m putting in two more next month,” he said.

Rohlik is a big electrical user, with five finishing hog barns running lots of fans especially during hot weather. Even so, he’s metered back to his local utility 1610 kWs at five cents along with what his turbine has provided for his own use. His system cost about $65,000, but a 30 percent federal tax credit and accelerated depreciation schedules will help offset the cost.

Aaron Busse of Minnesota Renewable Energies said that farmers are interested in wind energy, because wind is a resource they can harvest year-round.

“You continue to harvest. It’s not like one crop per season. Electricity is one of the bigger costs of farming and it’s not getting cheaper. Farmers are used to prepaying for many of their inputs — seed, fertilizer, chemicals. With a good turbine, you can also prepay for your electricity,” said Busse of Glencoe, Minn.

The key is purchasing a small-scale turbine in the 10-20 Kw category from a reputable dealer and manufacturer.

About three years ago, the small wind turbine business took a hit in Minnesota when a supplier introduced a Polaris turbine, but equipment failures coupled with non-existent maintenance and service prompted the Minnesota Attorney General to shut down this supplier in Minnesota. Today there are at least four Midwest manufacturers of small wind turbines that are reliable and can take care of about 20 percent or more of your energy bill, said Busse.

“I don’t think there is yet a wind product that can totally satisfy a farm’s energy needs. That would more likely require both wind and solar,” he said.

Minnesota still has the 39 Kw net metering regulation, which means bigger turbines for Minnesota farmers would be an issue. Busse explained that several manufacturers built 50 Kw turbines to fit a larger market area but when sold into the Minnesota market, they lowered the settings so that it technically produced only 39 Kw. That way, customers could get paid retail rates for the excess electricity metered back to the supplier.

A 10 or 15 Kw turbine is big enough to provide net metering payback, but a more cost-effective route is to install multiple 10 Kw units rather than a single bigger turbine, he said.

Cost of wind energy A 15 Kw turbine on an 80-foot tower costs about $75,000, said Busse.

A 30 percent Federal tax credit and a five-year accelerated depreciation will help you reach payback sooner. Some providers even offer a bonus depreciation to write off 50 percent the first year, he said.

There is no guarantee on the duration of the 30

Solar catching on; ‘terrific demand’ for installers units which position solar panels with the sun’s position. Extra maintenance is an issue with a gain of only about 10 percent more energy by tracking, he said.

Demand for installers With a shortage of energy system specialists, becoming an installer is a viable career. Kirkwood Community College offers a two-year program in energy production and distribution technology. Students graduate with an Associate of Applied Science degree, which includes 25 certificates ranging from first aid to CPR, from rigging and lifting to fork lift training. The cost is about $12,300.

Classes start each fall, but the college is considering open enrollment options. Class size is 18 to 25 students.

Bennett said that for degree-holding graduates, starting pay for energy system installers is a minimum of $20 per hour, per diem allowance if travel is involved, often along with a vehicle, health insurance, and pension options.

nitrogen fertilizer additions, increase soil organic matter, and increase biological functioning in high tunnel soils. The winter months provide a window of opportunity for cover crop rotations, and some high tunnel produces in northern climates are already successfully using cover crops over the winter in their tunnels.

This project will increase adoption of winter annual legume cover crop use in high tunnels by identifying species of interest and transferring evidencebased information to growers, including improvements in both soil quality and cash crop productivity.

Winrock International Institute of Agricultural Development (Minn. and Iowa) received $395,930. Individual farmers have experimented with rotational livestock grazing on cover crops across the country, primarily as a means of improving their financial bottom line.

have limited resources or who are beginning farmers and ranchers.

Of the 47 grants, four grants go to Minnesota.

County of Carlton received $107,313. In northeast Minnesota, farm profitability and resiliency are declining as a result of poor soil health. Historically, NRCS has guided the area’s farmers and ranchers on individual conservation practices such as: rotational grazing, out wintering cattle and reduction of tillage on crop land. These efforts have shown varying degrees of farmer adoption because the individual conservation practices have not been well integrated into the whole farm production system and production goals.

This project will demonstrate and evaluate an innovative whole farm approach to soil health by including a variety of conservation practices sys-

tematically. The implementation of this project will offer new potential for expanding the Environmental Quality Incentives Program and farmer adoption of soil health practices.

Regents of the University of Minnesota received $190,231. Access to local produce markets in combination with recent cost-share incentives has stimulated a recent and rapid expansion in high-tunnel purchase and utilization. High tunnels, which are unheated plastic-film covered protected field environments with a unique microclimate, allow for crop production in seasons when it would otherwise not be feasible due to low outside temperatures. This is especially valuable in regions such as the upper Midwest, an area challenged by a short growing season and a cold, wet spring.

High tunnel growers produce simultaneous crops in the same soil year after year, thus soil quality and fertility can be severely impacted. Management practices that incorporate soil fertility building rotations can increase soil quality in these intensive cropping systems. Legume cover crops are extraordinary sources of organic matter and fertility and, if well managed, can completely replace external

ST. PAUL — The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced it is investing $15.7 million through grants to 47 entities that will help develop and demonstrate cutting-edge ideas to accelerate innovation in private lands conservation.

Recipients of USDA’s Conservation Innovation Grants will demonstrate innovative approaches to improve soil health, air and water quality, conserve energy, and enhance wildlife habitat in balance with productive agricultural systems.

NCGA received grant to improve soil, water quality GRANTS, from pg. 19A species cover crops also significantly builds soil health, increases water infiltration, reduces erosion and increases the productive capacity of the land.

This project will establish and monitor about 50acre, side-by-side control and treatment plots within corn fields on eight farms. Demonstrations will span two full years of cropping/cover cropping.

Current management practices will be maintained on control plots. On treatment plots, the project team will work with farmers, first to introduce multi-species cover crops and then to strategically release and rotate cattle across the plot, which will graze down and trample the cover.

Detailed profit and loss data and soil health and fertility measures on each pair of plots will be collected. All existing analyses indicate this practice will generate more direct revenue than it costs to establish. Over time it will re-build soil health, reducing the need for nutrient inputs, decreasing flooding and erosion, increasing drought tolerance, and ultimately, increasing crop and livestock yields and revenue from a single land base.

Horse owners have long ‘to-do’ list for fall pasture care

from now until the ground freezes is a good time to take samples because the soils are drier and more stable.

3. Dispose of manure: If you are going to fertilize your pastures with manure, sample the manure first so you know how much you should spread. Only spread manure on your pastures if you have more than 2 acres per horse. Never the less, it’s nice to remove your manure pile once a year.

4. Fertilize: Use compost or a commercial fertilizer and drag manure piles in your pasture. As stated above,

ST. CLOUD, Minn. — Just like it seems to every year, summer has flown by and we find ourselves in the midst of fall once again. Fall is quite possibly the busiest time of year for farmers, and there are so many things to be thinking about and doing.

While many of us think about crops and harvesting them, fall is also an important time of year for pasture care, especially for horse owners.

Betsy Wieland of University of Minnesota Extension put together a “Fall Pasture To-Do List” for horse owners, and there are a lot of good tips to keep your pasture looking great and give it a boost for next year.

1. Seed pasture grasses: mid-August to mid-September is the best time of year to seed or reseed your pastures because there is usually adequate moisture, less weed competition, and cool, desirable weather conditions.

2. Take soil samples: See if your pastures need any nutrients. Anytime

ASA: Keep unapproved traits out of export channels ST. LOUIS — As the soybean and corn harvest hits full stride in much of the nation’s growing regions, the farmer-leaders of the American Soybean Association remind farmers to do their part by taking extra care to keep biotech traits that are not yet approved in key export markets out of normal grain marketing channels.

For those soybean farmers that also produce corn, this includes keeping biotech corn traits that are not yet approved in China, such as MIR 162 and Duracade, out of normal commodity streams so that U.S. soybean shipments to China aren’t at risk of rejection due to the presence of unapproved corn traits.

“China is U.S. soy’s biggest customer, buying more U.S. soybeans than all other foreign customers combined,” said ASA President and Corning, Iowa, farmer Ray Gaesser.

“With a record U.S. soybean crop ready for harvest, we need to ensure that U.S. soy exports aren’t disrupted. Farmers growing biotech corn traits that aren’t yet approved in China need to follow stewardship agreements carefully, ensure thorough equipment clean-out, and only market their grain in approved domestic channels.”

Relationships! This is the basis of life, so it is, that the industry of Life Insurance also must be based on relationships.

If the industry is to be faulted it would be that those relationships, between Agent and Client aren’t treated with the utmost care. The professional cares. The professional spends a great deal of his or her career with in depth study, to make sure that the clients best interest should come first.

I dare say that anyone who has done business with a professional Life Insurance Agent feels comfortable that their families present and future financial stability is safe and done with their best interest in mind.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Family is what has made this great nation of our what it remains today. Look at the many good things we enjoy, don’t focus on a few bad apples. One must take into consideration the total picture to become focused on the end result. Stop for a minute and try to remember a family member or a friend that has been better off because the loved ones they lost thought enough of them to prepare for the inevitable. The greatest accomplishment in an agent’s career is to see the first retirement check cashed by one of their clients, or to see a widow and her family continue a standard of living they have enjoyed and will be able to do so as a result of the proceeds from a life insurance contract.

All too often we are guilty of not taking responsibility for our own lives when the truth is no one else can possibly be responsible for us but ourselves. A life insurance contract is one of the most incredible pieces of machinery ever designed by the human mind.

Take a minute to look a the many benefits it provides an individual or family. Take time with your agent to know what you have planned for your future not what your agent set up to sell you. This is your own individual program. You are paying for it. Be proud of what you are doing for yourself, take pride in your ability to take care of yourself at retirement or your family at your untimely death.

Life insurance is truly a miracle.

Every necessary precaution needs to be taken by originating trait providers and seed companies, and then on our farms, at the elevators, at terminals and at ports, to prevent seed with unapproved traits from entering the supply chain.

— Wade Cowan In the current marketing year, China has imported nearly one-third of all U.S. soybeans produced and U.S. soybean exports to China total over $14 billion.

The National Corn Growers Association has been working with Syngenta and reminds farmers about the need to keep Duracade technology out of export channels.

NCGA also has urged farmers to recheck seed plots grown on their farms to verify the traits grown and to ensure that traits that are unapproved in China are stewarded to appropriate channels.

“As American farmers, we are particularly fortunate to work with so many innovative technology partners, each of whom provides us with revolutionary technology in the field. Unfortunately, some approval systems around the world, including China’s and the European Union’s, aren’t working as timely as we’d like,” said Gaesser.

“Because of this, farmers have to take extra steps — especially now during the harvest season — to be sure that seed bearing these traits doesn’t find its way into their commodity grain loads. It’s also worth

noting that the margin of error in this case is extraordinarily slim. Only a few kernels of corn with unapproved traits are more than enough to reject the entire shipment,” Gaesser said.

The reminder comes following several export disruptions caused by the rejection of grain shipments in foreign markets upon the detection of unapproved biotechnology traits.

“We remain frustrated with the pace and murkiness of regulatory approvals in some of our export markets, but we also recognize that the rules are the rules in those markets, and we have to respect them.

That means that we simply can’t send grain with traits that aren’t yet approved,” added Wade Cowan, a producer from Brownfield, Texas, and ASA’s first vice president.

“Every necessary precaution needs to be taken by originating trait providers and seed companies, and then on our farms, at the elevators, at terminals and at ports, to prevent seed with unapproved traits from entering the supply chain. The longer term answer, of course, is a more efficient and transparent system of foreign approvals , and a global policy to allow for the low level presence of biotech traits that are fully approved in a producing market but not yet approved in an export market,” he said.

ASA is working to improve the marketability of U.S. biotech crops both individually and in cooperation with the U.S. Biotech Crops Alliance. ASA represents U.S. soybean farmers on domestic and international issues to the soybean industry. ASA’s advocacy efforts are made possible through voluntary farmer membership by farmers in 30 states where soybeans are grown.

China commits to buy $2.3 billion of U.S. soybeans MILWAUKEE — Buyers from China at the second annual, soy checkoff-funded U.S. Global Trade Exchange have agreed to buy $2.3 billion of U.S. soy totaling 176 million bushels of U.S. soybeans, marking the second consecutive year that the gathering has generated significant export sales for U.S. soybean farmers in their own backyard.

“This is very exciting news for U.S. soybean farmers,” says Jim Call, soybean farmer from Minnesota and United Soybean Board chairman. “This shows that we continue to meet the needs of our international customers, and they’ve certainly taken notice.”

The Sept. 15-18 event — where foreign buyers gather in the heart of the American Soybean Belt to make deals and learn about U.S. soy — is co-sponsored by the U.S. Soybean Export Council, Midwest Shippers Association and American Soybean Association.

“This week is really a great example of the whole picture of U.S. soy’s work with our export partners,” says Randy Mann, USSEC chairman and soybean

In the most recent marketing year, U.S. soybean farmers exported more than 1.7 billion bushels of U.S. soy to customers beyond our borders. farmer from Kentucky.

“Of course the new sales are a boon for farmers, but we’re also laying groundwork for future sales by helping our current and prospective customers learn more about the sustainability and quality advantage of American soybeans,” Mann said.

During the event, international representatives met with U.S. soy farmerleaders and attended a variety of presentations to learn about the sustainability and quality of U.S. soybeans.

“This event is a great opportunity for U.S. farmers to interface with our customers overseas,” says Ray Gaesser, ASA president and soybean farmer from Iowa. “They continue to demand the soybeans we produce, and we continue to innovate to bring higher qual-

ity and better beans for them. The relationships we’re strengthening here in Milwaukee are a huge part of why soybeans are the leaders in U.S. farm exports.”

In the most recent marketing year, U.S. soybean farmers exported more than 1.7 billion bushels of U.S. soy to customers beyond our borders. The value of these exports set a record of more than $28 billion. Representatives from China committed to buy $2.8 billion worth of U.S. soy during last year’s U.S. Soy Global Trade Exchange in

Davenport, Iowa.

The 70 farmer-directors of USB oversee the investments of the soy checkoff to maximize profit opportunities for all U.S. soybean farmers. These volunteers invest and leverage checkoff funds to increase the value of U.S. soy meal and oil, to ensure U.S. soybean farmers and their customers have the freedom and infrastructure to operate, and to meet the needs of U.S. soy’s customers. As stipulated in the federal Soybean Promotion, Research and Consumer Information Act, the United States Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service has oversight responsibilities for USB and the soy checkoff.

Grain Outlook Prices reflect huge corn crop

Livestock Angles Grain Angles Word of the Cost analysis and week: volatility communication The start of harvest season brings many familiar issues for grain producers, including farmland rent values.

This is especially true this year. High corn prices drove rent up dramatically the past few years, but current prices are roughly half of what they were a couple years ago. Now producers and landlords are trying to figure out how land rent will change and what constitutes a reasonable and fair rent price in this environment.

Cash flow economics are central to this discussion. Take for example a producer with a current breakeven cost of production DAREL NESS of $4.75 per bushel based on an AgStar Assistant VP Financial Services expected yield of 180 bushels per Rochester, Minn. acre. Right now, the value of a fall 2015 bushel of corn is approximately $3.50 per bushel.

This means that the producer would need to trim $1.25, or $225 per acre (180 bushels per acre multiplied by $1.25), to breakeven for the 2015 crop year.

This simplistic analysis demonstrates the gap that many producers are finding as they put cash flow projections together for 2015.

Most agree that it’s not reasonable to expect all of the needed savings to come from decreases in rent expenses. If prices remain at current levels, producers will have to review all costs to look for opportunities to decrease production costs.

Producers will not be able to continue with a business as usual approach to crop production. They’ll need to account for the lower returns when perform-

Volatility is the word to describe the livestock markets over the past few weeks. This is especially true in the futures contracts as there have been several limit moves in both directions. Uncertainty in demand and current supplies seem to be the catalysts behind most of the current erratic behavior.

The cattle markets appear to have found resistance in both consumer demand and packer reluctance to pay higher prices for live inventory since their margins are in the red.

This has made the cash and futures markets very uneasy and therefore very erratic. Subsequently, this has caused prices to JOE TEALE Broker fluctuate up and down in an unsettled manner as the battle Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. over price by the producer and the packer is waged.

After making new price highs a couple of weeks ago, live prices have drifted lower reflecting the hesitancy of the packer to squeeze his margin further into the red. With the beef cutout falling because of retail resistance once again at the higher levels, it would appear that the battle of reduced supplies versus contracting demand will continue.

On another note, feeder cattle prices moved to historic highs, reflecting the weakening grain prices and the optimism that cattle prices will remain high into the future. As far as the next few weeks are concerned, expect further volatility until a distinct direction is established.

On Sept. 19, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released the monthly Cattle On Feed report. The

The following market analysis is for the week ending Sept. 19.

CORN — Harvest of a gigantic corn crop is progressing and prices reflected it this week. December corn set and closed on a new contract low at $3.31 1⁄2 per bushel on Sept. 19. This does not bode well for bulls looking for a bounce.

Record yield reports from growers are confirming what has been expected with ideal growing conditions this year. The feared frost at mid-month was a moot issue as it was not widespread or severe enough to warrant much attention.

PHYLLIS NYSTROM On a trip into east central IlliCHS Hedging Inc. St. Paul nois this week, corn yields of 240280 bushels per acre and locally higher were reported. Moisture levels were 21-25 percent. Test weights were as high as 58 pounds on wet corn. With limited rainfall, harvest will accelerate this coming week.

Bushels are being applied to existing contracts or being stored, with very little hitting the spot cash market. Bushels are expected to be squirreled away anywhere they can be this year with growers undersold and disappointed with price levels.

The Farm Service Agency this week published their monthly acreage update. At this time of year there is little evidence how FSA acres correlate to final U.S. Department of Agriculture acres. FSA put corn acres at 84.8 million. Last month, they were at 83.3 million acres and the September USDA number was 91.6 million acres.

Weather clears, soybean prices tumble lower NYSTROM, from pg. 25A The FSA numbers are still incomplete with updates coming monthly through the end of the year. The numbers were slightly supportive to early week prices, but they were not strong enough to turn the downtrend.

Corn conditions as of Sept. 15 were unchanged at 74 percent good/excellent, which is unusual for this time of year. Harvest as of that date was just 4 percent complete and slightly behind the 9 percent average.

Weekly export sales were 26 million bushels, in line with the 25.7 million needed each week to hit the USDA forecast. Total commitments for the crop year are running one percent behind last year and the USDA is predicting a nine-percent decline in yearon-year exports.

The European Union will nearly double its import tariff on corn, rye and sorghum to protect domestic markets against cheap imports. This raises concerns over where Ukraine will sell their huge corn crop this year.

MARKETING

Last year, Ukraine sold 9.8 million metric

tons corn to the EU. As the week ended, Informa Economics published updated 2014-15 estimates and initial 2015-16 balance sheets. For the 2014-15 crop, it is using 89.3 million acres versus USDA’s 91.6 million acres; production 14 billion versus USDA at 14.4 billion; ending stocks of 1.82 billion bushels versus USDA’s 2.0 billion bushels. For 2015-16, it is starting with 87.3 million acres, production of 13.3 billion bushels and ending stocks of 1.654 billion bushels.

OUTLOOK: Corn continues to creep lower toward longer-term support of $3.24 1⁄2 per bushel, with sub-$3.00 prices a real possibility.

In years of record yields, lows in September are uncommon. U.S. corn is uncompetitive, but we continue to see some routine business as prices slip lower. The downtrend will be expected to continue, but the rate of descent

lost the battle mid-week and set a new contract low as the week came to a close. November soybeans crumbled 28 1⁄4 cents lower to close at $9.57 per bushel. The new contract low is $9.56 per bushel as of Sept. 19.

The monthly FSA acreage number pegged soybean acres at 80.5 million.

This is up 1.3 million acres from their August number and compares to the September USDA 84.4 million acre figure. An estimate from China this week suggested that its soybean imports from the United States in the 2014-15 crop year could decline as much as 25 percent year-on-year due to poor crush margins.

The United States exported 27.6 mmt of beans to China last year, implying U.S. bean exports this year could drop 7 mmt to around 20.5 mmt.

China’s trade delegation signed agreements to purchase 4.8 mmt of U.S. beans in the coming year as part of its annual trade mission. Following the signing, the USDA also announced a sale of 620,000 metric tons of U.S. beans to China, the eighth largest sale ever. may be slowed if estimates for the The National Oilseed Processors Sept. 1 stocks report lean to the Association August crush released this smaller side. week at 110.6 million bushels was less For now, lower prices are in the cards than expectations and below July’s as weather promotes harvest, yield 119.6 million bushel reports remain at crush.

TEALE, from pg. 25A results are as follows: on feed 99 percent; placed 97 percent; and marketed 90 percent. The report was seen as neutral. Whether the trend continues up or changes to move lower, producer should be prudent and protect inventories when opportunities present themselves.

The hog market has been on the move this summer.

After spending much of the time during the summer months falling, prices have begun to recover. At the same time, the value of pork was recognized as excellent in comparison to competitive meats, with increased demand for pork products and the quick advance of pork cutouts. The fact that market-ready numbers seemed to have declined in recent weeks also contributed to the rapid advance in prices.

According to the projections of available hogs for market due to the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, this is the period where hog numbers ready for market would be the smallest.

From a supply standpoint, the hog market seems in good shape for the near-term. From a demand standpoint, resistance appears at higher levels which should allow for further recovery in the short-term.

As the basis narrows and goes to a positive in some cases, producers should consider protecting inventories when advantageous to their marketing scheme. ❖

NESS, from pg. 25A ing return on investment analysis for seed, fertilizer and chemical programs; some crop investments that make sense when crop prices are high don’t provide an adequate return when prices are lower.

Producers may need to go beyond variable input costs and look at their debt structure as well. Do your scheduled payments on machinery or land put you at a competitive disadvantage? If so, can you work with your lender to rebalance your debt structure to get your cost of production more in line with the current price environment?

Producers also need to do their best to recognize where they fit competitively in their rent market.

There are times when the size, scope and financial strength of an operation may have an advantage over competitors.

For example, producers who invested in adding value to their crop through initiatives such as livestock production, ethanol investments or specialty marketing, may have more dollars to compete for land during times of lower prices.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

NYSTROM, from pg. 26A has bean acres at 87.7 million for a crop of 3.91 billion bushels with a carryout of 569 million bushels. If the scenario is correct, Informa Economics expect prices could average near $8.00 per bushel next year.

OUTLOOK: Prices tumbled lower again this week as weather cleared and harvest progressed. Yield reports continue to be amazing as harvest moves north.

With Informa’s 2015-16 estimate and economics supporting a move away from corn to beans, prices should continue to stay on the defensive.

Without any impediment to harvest, a move toward $9.00 or lower in November soybeans will be expected. Don’t forget to start looking at your marketing plans for 2015-16.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending Sept. 19: Chicago December wheat dropped 28 cents, Minneapolis plummeted 42 1⁄2 cents and Kansas City fell 33 cents per bushel. October crude oil was relatively unchanged with a 14 cent gain, ultralow-sulfur diesel was 2 1⁄2 cents lower, reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending rallied 9 1⁄4 cents, and natural gas was down 2 cents.

The next USDA report will be the Sept. 1 Grain Stocks report released on Sept. 30. ❖

Milk production forecast to climb in ’15 on strong prices MIELKE, from pg. 29A For a point of comparison, the October Class I price in California was $26.09 /cwt. for the North and $26.36 for the South. Keep in mind, with the Federal order Class I base, each order adds its Class I differential to that base price to determine that particular order’s Class I milk price. Also, California prices off of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange cash

markets whereas Federal order prices are based off the NDPSR, which lags the CME cash prices so California prices reflect changes sooner.

■ Tuesday’s Global Dairy Trade auction saw the weighted average for all products unchanged, following the six percent plunge in the Sept. 2 event, 0.6

percent decline Aug. 19, 8.4 percent loss Aug. 5, and 8.9 percent in session before that. Powder was up fractionally Tuesday, rennet casein was up 1.3 percent, following a drop last time of 14.3 percent, while all other offered products were down. The price index has pretty much seen declines since reaching its high on Feb. 4.

The downfall this week was led by a 6.9 percent drop in buttermilk powder, down 12.9 percent last time, and Cheddar cheese was down 6.5 percent, following a 4.9 percent loss last time. Butter was next, down 2.5 percent Tuesday, following a 5.6 percent loss in the Sept. 2 event, and anhydrous milkfat was down 2.2 percent, after a 5.8 percent drop last time.

Skim milk powder was up 0.9 percent, following a 9.5 percent plunge in the last event, and whole milk powder was up 0.6 percent, after a 4.3 percent loss last time.

FC Stone reports the average GDT butter price equated to about $1.2236 per pound U.S., down from $1.2489 in the Sept. 2 event ($1.1869 per pound on 80 percent butterfat, down from $1.2185 per pound).

Contrast that to CME butter which closed Friday at another record high of $3.06 per pound. The GDT Cheddar cheese average was $1.3959 per pound U.S., down from $1.4853.

The U.S. block Cheddar CME price closed Friday at $2.45 per pound. GDT skim milk powder, at $1.1880 per pound U.S., is up from $1.1792, and the whole milk powder average at $1.2211 per pound U.S., is up from $1.2122 in the last event. The CME Grade A nonfat dry milk price closed Friday at $1.3750 per pound.

■ As it always does, USDA’s monthly Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry Outlook, issued Wednesday, mirrored dairy projections contained in the latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report issued Sept. 11.

September forecasts for milk production were increased slightly from August for the current year and are unchanged for 2015. Milk production is forecast to climb in 2015 compared to this year on moderating feed prices and continued strong milk prices.

Imports are raised for both this year and next, and export forecasts were lowered. Butter and cheese prices are expected to remain high on tight stocks and firm domestic demand. Nonfat dry milk prices were forecast lower on reduced export expectations.

■ The 2014-15 price forecast for corn was lowered from the August projection to $3.20-$3.80 per bushel.

Yield forecasts were raised for September to a record 171.7 bushels per acre, and the 2014-15 production forecast tops the 2013-14 record production estimate.

The 2014-15 soybean and soybean product prices forecasts were lowered with this month’s forecasts.

Soybean meal price was lowered to $330-$370 per ton based on higher forecast soybean and soybean meal production.

The August Agricultural Prices report places the preliminary August price for alfalfa hay at $209 per

Milk-feed ratio expansion incentive MIELKE, from pg. 30A ton, down slightly from last month and slightly higher than the reported August 2013 price of $199 per ton. On balance, feed prices continue to moderate, and the milk-feed price ratio indicates incentive for expansion in milk production.

The 2014 herd size forecast was unchanged in September at 9.26 million head. Cow numbers were forecast to expand to 9.34 million head next year, an unchanged forecast from August. Yield per cow was increased in this month’s forecast to 22,275 pounds for 2014. Yield per cow is forecast at 22,760 pounds per cow in 2015, unchanged from last month, but a year-over-year rise.

■ Milk production is mixed in the Midwest; steady in the Southeast, California and New Mexico; steady to lower in Utah and Idaho; tapering in the Pacific Northwest, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states; and leveling off in Florida, according to USDA’s weekly update.

Cream tightened in all parts of the country, with increased cream cheese demand noted in all regions. An additional factor causing cream supply tightness is butter manufacturers increasingly keeping cream for butter production as they build inventories to fill fall orders.

Meanwhile, milk production in Australia is trending higher seasonally and is reflecting improving weather, feed, and input conditions, reports Dairy Market News. Weather has been favorable for cow comfort, calving and pasture growth. Feed costs have been relatively stable. Currently, some areas of Australia are experiencing moisture deficits and concerns are that the lack of rains could factor into pasture growth in areas without access to irrigation.

Analysts are forecasting higher milk output two percent increase over the previous season.

New Zealand milk production trends continue to build. Early indications are nearly 10 percent higher than year-ago levels for the first two months of the new season. Cash flows are tighter at the start of this season, reflecting milk pay prices. Dairy product pricing is harder to gauge as disruptions are occurring in the marketplace, generally outside of the region. Declining prices are noted across product categories. Buyers are more cautious in making purchases of dairy products with the weaker trends enveloping the local and global dairy markets.

The dairy farmer-funded Cooperatives Working Together accepted 12 requests for export assistance this week to sell 692,252 pounds of cheese and 1.422 million pounds of whole milk powder to customers in Asia, the Middle East and South America.

The product will be delivered through March 2015 and raised CWT’s 2014 cheese exports to 86.203 million pounds, plus 48.188 million pounds of butter and 33.171 million pounds of whole milk powder to 43 countries.

Take care of late blight in tomatoes, potatoes USDA report: Potato yields down; prices, value up Minnesota potato production in 2013 totaled 17.3 million hundredweight, down 1.5 million cwt. from 2012, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Agricultural Statistics Service — Potatoes 2013 Summary.

The state’s potato growers planted 46,000 acres, down 3,000 acres from 2012. Harvested acres in 2013 were reported at 45,000, down 2,000 acres from the previous year. Average yield per acre was down from 400 cwt. in 2012 to 385 cwt. in 2013.

Prices increased to $9.50 from the previous year’s $8.20 /cwt. Total value of production of the state’s potato crop was up from $154.2 million in 2012 to $164.6 million in 2013.

Potato tubers infected with late blight have lesions that are typically irregular in shape, firm, sunken, or dull brown to purple around the eyes. These spots often become infected with additional pathogens such as bacteria and the entire tuber can turn soft and rot.

Most commonly the source of late blight is the seed tubers or transplants that were planted in your garden. When favorable conditions are present, 65-70 F with 100 percent humidity, spores can travel 30-40 miles by wind or shorter distances by dew or splashing caused by rain.

Once spores land on the new host, if water is present the fungal spores will likely cause infection. Late blight winters in living potato tubers and in perennial weeds such as nightshade. The spores can also travel to potato tubers in the soil by moving water.

Late blight can be a challenge to manage. Two separate strains of the fungus are found in Minnesota, which are more genetically diverse to the original strain, and appear to be more resistant to commercial fungicides or formerly resistant plant varieties.

To help prevent late blight in your crops: 1. Purchase healthy seed potato tubers and/or healthy, vigorous tomato plants.

2. Avoid planting potatoes near tomatoes.

3. Control weeds.

4. Plant rows parallel with prevailing winds so there is more adequate air flow in the garden.

5. Rotate crops in garden with non-susceptible plants

Beef Ambassador contest accepting applications The 2013-14 Minnesota Beef Ambassador team

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

Submitted

The Minnesota Beef Council, Minnesota State Cattlemen’s Association and Minnesota CattleWomen’s Association are pleased to announce the 2014 Minnesota Beef Ambassador contest will be held in conjunction with the Minnesota Beef Expo on Oct. 16 with registration at 2:30 p.m. After a short orientation, the contest will begin at 3 p.m. The contest will take place at the CHS Miracle of Birth Center at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds, 1750 Judson Ave., St. Paul.

The Minnesota Beef Ambassador program provides an opportunity for youth ages 13-19 to educate consumers and students about beef nutrition, food safety and stewardship practices of beef farmers and ranchers.

The Minnesota Beef Ambassador team will consist of the Senior Minnesota Beef Ambassador, Junior Beef Ambassador and two team members.

All contestants are required to prepare an “elevator speech” for the contest. This is a short, to the point, statement outlining his/her message to consumers and what he/she wants consumers to know about the beef industry. This speech should only focus on one subject of beef. Additionally, contestants will compete in three simulated activities that ambassadors would complete if they are chosen as a Beef Ambassador member.

The three activities are as follows: • Mock Radio Interview — The contestant will participate in a mock media interview. The interviewer will have pre-determined questions to ask each contestant with the option to ask follow-up questions in order to gain additional knowledge or clarify a point.

A panel of judges will observe the interaction for knowledge, articulation, poise and the contestant’s ability to “Tell the Beef Production Story” and present beef and farming in a positive light.

• Mock Consumer Promotion — A mock consumer promotion event will be set up for the contestants. Each contestant will be provided with a sample to serve as well as beef literature and recipes. Consumers will approach the table to take the sample. They will ask questions to test the contestant’s knowledge, capacity to perform in the field and ability to present beef in a positive light.

A panel of judges will observe and score each contestant on their ability to educate the consumer and provide the consumers with the appropriate information to answer their questions. Each contestant will have five minutes to interact with the consumers who will ask questions. Contestants are able to ask the consumers questions to engage a deeper dialogue about beef and are encouraged to do so.

• Written Response — The issues response area will be done with a supervisor present as each contestant writes his/her response to a recently published news article regarding the beef industry. Contestants will have 20 minutes to write a response to the article about beef by thoughtfully answering questions, identifying misinformation and listing positive consumer information. This essay will be a half page response.

Borlaug prize awarded to sustainable ag researcher Global Conservation Agricultural Program at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center. The announcement of his selection was made by World Food Prize President Ambassador Kenneth Quinn at the USAID Frontiers in Development Forum on Sept. 18 in Washington, D.C. In developing his vision to help poor farmers increase food production from their existing farmland, Govaerts was inspired by the great agricultural scientist and World Food Prize Founder Norman Borlaug’s credo: “Take It to the Farmer.”

To that end, Govaerts was instrumental in framing the Mexican government’s major initiative known as the Sustainable Modernization of Traditional Agriculture — MasAgro — and in June assumed leadership of the entire program, with responsibility for coordinating the evolution of related projects in Latin America.

The component of MasAgro that Govaerts originally

developed and has successfully led is named “Take It to the Farmer.” It focuses on integrating technological innovation into small-scale farming systems for maize and wheat crops, while minimizing detrimental impacts on the environment. Under this extension-style program, farmers on over 94,000 hectares switched to sustainable systems using MasAgro technologies, while farmers on another 600,000 hectares are receiving training and information to improve their techniques and practices.

His passion for working with farmers to provide them with the full range of tools they need to rise out of subsistence farming is summed up by Govaerts: “The best recognition of Dr. Borlaug’s legacy is to be conscious and shout out loud that farming is the future. It is our moral duty as researchers to bring pride back to the fields by harnessing the existing innovations of farmers and other value chain actors and fostering capacity and application of science and technology.”

Govaerts’ research and field application in conservation and sustainable agriculture has focused on students while preparing them for their future careers.” the benefits of improving long-term soil quality in both irrigated and rain-fed regions through leaving “The jacket is a symbol of tradition and pride for surface residues on the land and reducing tillage those who have worn the official FFA jacket.

Young farmers make lobbying trip to Washington, D.C. Twelve farmers and ranchers from across Minnesota met with their members of Congress in Washington, D.C. during the Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation’s Farmers to Washington, D.C. trip Sept. 15-19.

Participants met with Senators Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken; members of Congress Tim Walz, Eric Paulsen, and Collin Peterson; and staff members from the offices of John Kline, Betty McCollum, Keith Ellison, and Michele Bachmann.

During their meetings, Farm Bureau members discussed the Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed rule that some fear could greatly expand their authority under the Clean Water Act, and how it could affect their ability to conduct normal farming activities without improving water quality. They thanked Representatives Walz, Kline, Paulsen, Bachmann and Peterson for voting in favor of legis-

lation to prohibit EPA from implementing their rule and urged the Senate to follow suit.

The participants also urged the Congressional delegation to act quickly on extending expiring tax provisions including Section 179: Small Business Expensing and bonus depreciation, and reminded them of the importance of addressing agricultural labor programs as part of immigration reform.

In addition, attendees delivered 1,400 signatures to EPA urging them to withdraw their proposed rule to expand the definition of “Waters of the United States.” These signatures were collected from across the state at county fairs, Farm Bureau meetings, Farmfest and the Minnesota State Fair. The public comment period remains open until Oct. 20, and comments to the EPA via the Minnesota Farm Bureau website, fbmn.org, are highly encouraged.

“This experience outfits young farmers and ranchers with the tools they need to become strong advocates for agriculture and rural Minnesota,” said Miles and Sarah Kuschel, American Farm Bureau

Rural Minnesota schools receive $135,000 in grants Nine Minnesota school districts have received $135,000 in grants this year from America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund. The program partners with farmers to support rural public school districts with innovative approaches to teaching math and science. Given the technological progress in agriculture over the past 20 years, farmers are very aware of the need for superior math and science education, especially for students in their communities.

“The skills necessary for the future of agriculture will go beyond the farm production area itself,” said Gary Neimeyer, Grow Rural Education Advisory Council member and past chairman of the National Corn Growers Association. “We will need ecologists, agronomists, meteorologists, conservationists, veterinarians and economists. I truly hope that this funding will be utilized by schools to challenge students to understand where there food comes from.”

Winning districts have designed many innovative programs for use of the grant funds, including Farmington Public Schools in Dakota County, Minn. The district is having students design, build, and maintain a greenhouse and community garden. Partnering with the community food shelf, the school district food service program, local farmers, and higher education institutions, students will gain an understanding of food production and it’s relation to careers in science, agriculture, engineering, and many other fields. At Big Lake Public School District in Sherburne County, Minn., the grant allowed them to use innovative 3D printing equipment to enhance science, technology, engineering, and math curriculum.

The program starts with farmers, who can nominate a public school district in their community to apply for a grant of up to $25,000. Once all of the school district applications are submitted, a panel of math and science teachers reviewed each application and selected finalists. An advisory council, composed of farmer-leaders with an interest in agriculture and education, then selects the winning grant applications from a pool of finalists.

The funding is utilized for math and science projects in grades K-12, to prepare students for a wider range of career prospects in an increasingly technology-driven workforce. Increasing STEM education means more schools in the region will meet Common Core State Standards. According to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, when students take an active approach to learning, their comprehension of the subject increases, which leads to higher test scores and more interest in STEM careers.

Soon enough, you’ll be inside the head of a character who, says author Laird Hunt in his notes, was loosely based on real women who fought as men during the Civil War. That near-factualism allows a reader’s mind to believe a bit easier and with the addition of the aforementioned museum-quality writing, it’s hard not to feel fear or the cannon booms, to taste the dirt or to become breathless while reading this stellar novel.

A piece of Americana

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondent Richard Siemers

O

ne glimpse of a red, white and blue striped pole and you know what it means — a barber shop. But did you know that all of those poles are made in St. Paul, Minn.?

The William Marvy Company, founded in 1936 by its namesake and currently headed by his son, Robert Marvy, is the only manufacturer of barber poles in the Western hemisphere. (Almost the world, but a company in China has started to make them.)

Marvy Company got the edge on others when in 1950 William introduced the “Six Ways Better” barber pole. He’d been selling other companies’ poles, and laboring to mount a 100-120 pound cast iron pole on the wall while standing on a ladder. Working with an engineer, he designed a 25-pound cast aluminum pole. He also improved it with a design for easier maintenance by the barber.

“1967 was our largest year of production for barber poles,” Bob Marvy said. “We produced 5,100 poles. Within a couple years we had our smallest production, 400 poles. The whole thing fell apart between the Beatles and the Vietnam War.” That era brought a change in hairstyles and a turning away from anything linked to Americana.

Another indicator of change is that from 1950, when William Marvy introduced his barber pole, to 1967 (17 years), the company produced 50,000 poles. In the past 47 years, from 1967 until now, they produced 35,000 poles.

Currently they produce about 600 a year.

Marvy sees a small resurgence in barber shops, especially in African-American communities where they are still the gathering spot all barber shops once were. He sees especially younger men finding the barber shop experience to be a pleasant alternative to a styling salon.

But Marvy is also a supporter of salons, since the major portion of their business is supplying salons with sanitizing and disinfection products, and other needs. The company makes sanitizing jars and the liquids that go into them, and ultra-violet cabinets.

The third generation of the Marvy family, Bob’s three sons, is now involved in the family business. While barber poles may never again be the dominant part of this business, they will always be the company’s icon. The 75,000th pole produced by William Marvy Co.

he said. “We don’t need any more rain yet.”

Wilts was busy getting ready for sugar beet harvest. Beet pre-lift was scheduled for Sept. 23, which is Dennis Wilts a week to 10 days behind, he said.

With soybeans still two weeks away from harvest, he said there could be beet and soybean harvest going on at the same time, something he’s only had to deal with once before.

“Hope we can get in four or five days of beans before beet harvest,” Wilts said.

He said the soybeans were “starting to turn a little bit. ... We’re probably a week to 10 days behind. Two or three weeks of really nice weather would help out the corn and beans a lot.” The next chance of frost may not be until the first part of October, he said.

With the large amount of moisture that fell in late summer, Wilts said he expects “we’re going to have real wet corn.”

“I think we’ll be busy with the dryers,” he said. For many farmers this year, that may be a safe assumption.

The Hoffmans New Ulm, Minn.

On the morning of Sept. 13 Don Hoffman experienced the “weirdest frost I ever seen. ... A little bit here and there.”

Hoffman reflected on this sporadic frost episode when The Land spoke with him Sept. 16. His greener plants had more moisture, which meant less frost damage than those plants Don Hoffman that were closer to maturity. The temperature got down to 34 degrees Fahrenheit that morning at the farm, but he said there was “no white on the grass.”

Hoffman took samples the morning of Sept. 16 and expected to find out the moisture level that evening.

He usually chops corn the last week of August to the first of September.

This year it’s “two to three weeks late in chopping,” he said. “It’s starting to make me nervous.”

In fact, he said he “did buy 20 acres of corn and chopped.” He has 210 acres of corn to chop, it’s just a question of when he can get in and start chopping.

Hoffman’s soybeans didn’t get hit too hard with frost, and have started to turn. “I saw a hint of yellow,” he said, predicting he wouldn’t be hitting them with the combine before Oct. 1.

On the dairy side, Hoffman has 55 mattresses in, 21 to go. Once that’s completed, he will be done with “phase one” of mattress replacement.

On Sept. 12, Hoffman headed to the Clay County Fair in Spencer, Iowa. It’s a “really good fair” with “something for everybody,” he said. He and a friend

The Hagens Lake Mills, Iowa

“Last Saturday morning we got a pretty good frost,” Jim Hagen reported to The Land on Sept.

16.

Jim Hagen Thankfully, he said the frost apparently “didn’t hurt too much.”

Temperatures rebounded at the Hagen farm from that frosty Sept. 13 morning. The forecast calls for weather to warm up and that’s music to Hagen’s ears.

The corn is “coming down,” he said, estimating that it “should black layer in the next two weeks.” The corn remains “a little bit behind.”

The soybeans have started to turn, and Hagen expects harvest to start the first of October. This is later than usual; he usually combines the last week of September.

There was one last fair on the calendar. Hagen headed to the Clay County fair in Spencer, Iowa, on Sept. 8. With a big crowd, he always makes sure to get to the fair every year. He also made time to attend a few farmer appreciation dinners.

While waiting for the crops to be harvest-ready, Hagen said he’s staying busy “getting equipment ready for fall.” That includes the bins and dryers; this means “lots of greasing,” he said.

The combine’s ready and Hagen’s ready.

“It’s just a waiting game now,” he said. ❖

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Just 10 miles northwest of Dennis Wilts’ farm on the evening of Sept. 12, the crops froze. Wilts lucked out — his crops only got “a kind of patchy frost; nothing major here.” The Land spoke with Wilts three days later, and he was thankful to have avoided a killing frost.

There had been no significant rain in Herman the previous two weeks.

“Things are drying up pretty good,”

The Thronsons ❖ Gary, Minn ❖ Norman-Mahnomen Counties

Jared Thronson has finished his wheat harvest for the year.

He said “it went pretty good” and came in at a 14 percent protein, but that Jared Thronson “it wasn’t a big, big yield that everyone was hoping for,” when The Land spoke with him Sept.

16.

The wheat was off the field on Sept.

7. Thronson said he immediately started chisel plowing the same day and then “started ditching on the eighth.”

This time of year things are starting to get busy in a hurry, with no time to waste following wheat harvest. Thronson said he will continue to do “some ditching in the afternoon for a few days,” and will also be working on a truck and trailer that is needed for harvest.

His earliest variety soybeans “really started dropping leaves quite a bit.”

The predicted warmer weather is going to “push things along,” he said.

He said that in 10-14 days the crop would be ready for harvest.

Thronson hopes the nice weather will help the corn crop along as well.

“The plants are still green,” he said, noting that he expects it will be November before corn harvest begins.

It’s a waiting game now as to when everything will be ready, but when it is Thronson will be ready to jump in the combine and go.

“I’m not feeling too bad about things,” he said.

rode their motorcycles the 120 miles to Spencer, something that they’ve been doing for almost 13 years.

Back on the farm, Hoffman is focused on silage.

“It will be pretty much all about corn silage for the next two weeks,” he said.

Overall, 2014 is going to be a late harvest.

“I think things are behind,” Hoffman said. “The recent rains have kept everything green longer. Good for the soil, not so great for the crops. It’s nice having rain but it’s slowing things down.”

Pesticide drift is persistent problem for organics

By STEVE KARNOWSKI Associated Press GRINNELL, Iowa — The cloud of insecticide that drifted from a neighbor’s corn field onto the asparagus on Andrew and Melissa Dunham’s central Iowa farm cast a shadow over their organic vegetable business.

They say the costs from the incident and resulting loss of organic certification on their asparagus patch for three years will reach about $74,000, and they’re now working with the sprayer’s insurance company.

“We’re a certified organic farm — except for our asparagus,” Melissa Dunham lamented.

Pesticide drift is a serious concern for organic farmers and they’ve come up with several defenses, such as buffer strips. Twelve states are part of a registry of farms that tips off aerial and ground sprayers to areas they need to avoid. The aerial spraying industry and pesticide manufacturers, meanwhile, say they’ve made big strides in controlling drift through pilot education and new technologies.

Organic and specialty crop growers are trying to profit off the rising consumer interest in locally grown, natural foods. But those smaller farms are often islands surrounded by a sea of conventionally grown crops that get sprayed with herbicides, insecticides and fungicides.

The Dunhams grow about 20 acres of organic vegetables on their 80-acre Grinnell Heritage Farm, selling directly to consumers and wholesale to some grocers.

Iowa agricultural officials determined this spring that a ground applicator violated several regulations while spraying an insecticide on a neighboring farm last August. Only the asparagus was affected, Dunham said, but since they can’t market it as organic again until 2017, they can’t charge wholesale customers as much for it.

Any organic farm next to a conventional farm is at risk, so farmers typically have buffer systems, said Nate Lewis, senior crop and livestock specialist with the Organic Trade Association.

There are as many buffer strategies as there are farms, he said. An organic apple orchard in Washington state could sell fruit from its first three rows of trees as conventional or Midwest corn and soybean farmers might just mow down their first few rows of plants.

The Dunhams maintain a 30-foot buffer strip of shrubs along the affected side of their farm. They’ve posted no-spray signs and listed their

farm on Iowa’s sensitive crops registry.

But the precautions weren’t enough.

Fortunately, Dunham said, no customers in their spring community-supported agriculture program accepted their offer of refunds. “They were more sympathetic and angry, actually, that there were no penalties,” she said.

Practical Farmers of Iowa recently began circulating a detailed brochure for farmers and rural residents on how to protect themselves from drift, recognize when it’s happened and what to do then. The group’s fruit and vegetable growers say drift is one of their top concerns, energy and horticulture coordinator Liz Kolbe said.

Better pilot training and sprayer technology have led to significant reductions in pesticide drift, said Andrew Moore, executive director of the National Agricultural Aviation Association. The association offers a program across the country on safety and drift issues. He said it contributed to a 26 percent drop in confirmed drift instances between when it debuted in 1999 and 2003 alone.

But it’s hard for crop dusters to avoid vulnerable farms if they don’t know where they are. Enter Driftwatch, which Purdue University launched in 2008.

Producers can register their farms, while applicators can check the website’s interactive map and sign up for email notifications. Twelve states and the Canadian province of Saskatchewan are part of DriftWatch, while Iowa and some other states maintain their own registries.

“I think for the states that have been in it a while it is making a huge difference,” said Reid Sprenkel, president and CEO of FieldWatch, the nonprofit that runs DriftWatch.

Organic farmers also worry about a new Dow AgroSciences weed control system awaiting federal approval called Enlist — partly because it uses 2, 4-D, an old herbicide that’s been prone to drift. Pesticide Action Network organizer Linda Wells said 2, 4-D is “notoriously volatile” and particularly harmful to grapes and tomatoes.

Enlist kills weeds that are becoming resistant to glyphosate, better known as Roundup. The company has given the 2, 4-D in Enlist Duo herbicide a different chemical structure, and customers must agree to use an advanced type of spray nozzle, said Damon Palmer, commercial leader for Enlist in the U.S. The combination reduces volatility and drift by around 90 percent, he said.

“We’ve got a solution here that will allow corn and soybean farmers to farm next to specialty crop and organic growers as well,” Palmer said. ❖

3) Much lower horse power requirements than competition.

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

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

6) Self-tightening gathering chains.

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

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

9) Corn stalk stubble in field is splintered to reduce tire damage if driven over. #1 Dealer 10) Optional Integrated Crop Sweeper and End Row Augers for improved crop. in the USA
