Commentary: Farm to School creates new opportunities In October, just like every other month during the school year, school menus will feature an array of products from local and regional farmers, ranchers, and fishermen. Kids of all ages will dig up lessons in school gardens, visit farms, harvest pumpkins, and don hair nets for tours of processing facilities.

Science teachers — and English, math, and social studies instructors, too — will use food and agriculture as a tool in their classrooms, so that lessons about the importance of healthy eating permeate the school learning environment.

An investment in the health of America’s students through Farm to School is also an investment in the farmers and ranchers who grow the food and an investment in the health of local economies. In school year 2011-12, schools purchased $386 million in local food from farmers, ranchers, fishermen, and food processors and manufacturers. And an impressive 56 percent of school districts report that they will

buy even more local foods in future school years.

Farm to school programs exist in every state in the country.

For example, the Lake County Community Development Corporation in Bozeman, Mont., reports a 40 percent increase in revenues to farmers based on school sales alone. The Southwest Georgia Project, a community development non-profit, notes that “We’re actually seeing our farmers have hope. The farm to school program allows them to see an opportunity for a sustainable living for themselves and their families.” Testimonials in a U.S. Department of Agriculture video released this week highlight the degree to which farm to school programs support healthy eating behaviors among children and provide positive economic impacts to local communities.

Strengthening local food systems is one of the four pillars of USDA’s commitment to rural economic development, and Farm to School programs can play an important role. To support the expansion of Farm to

School programs into more schools and expand opportunity for farmers and ranchers, USDA offers grants, training, and technical assistance. Since the start of our Farm to School Grant Program in fiscal year 2013, for example, USDA has awarded grants to 139 projects spanning 46 states and the District of Columbia, serving more than 16,200 schools and 4.55 million students, nearly 43 percent of whom live in rural communities.

I recently visited the George Washington Carver Elementary School in Richmond, Va., and the Virginia State Fair to announce more than $52 million in new USDA grants nationwide to support the development of the local, regional and organic food sectors. You can learn more about USDA’s investments at www.usda.gov/results.

At USDA we’re transforming school food and creating a healthier next generation. We’re happy to celebrate in October, but we’re going to be cheering for schools with farm to school programs all year long. When students have experiences such as tending a school garden or visiting a farm, they’re more likely to make healthy choices in the cafeteria. I see the change every time I visit a cafeteria; students light up when meeting their farmer. They are piling their trays full of healthy foods, they are learning healthy habits that they will carry with them for life, and they are learning an appreciation for the American farmer that they will carry with them their entire lives.

Letter: Buy seed later, get discounts To the Editor: As farmers we now have about $2.50 new crop corn price. When your seed dealers come around this fall, and if nobody orders the seed, companies will do some heavy discounting by February or March.

It would only take 40-50 percent of farmers to not order seed for the discounting to happen.

When we had $7.50 corn, $300 to $350 a bag wasn’t so bad. The seed companies have only lowered a few

numbers by $20 to $30 a bag.

If you, as farmers, would be intelligent enough to do this, it will save a lot on your bottom line next year. If your dealer says, “We might run out of your favorite number if you don’t order now,” tell him or her “We have never run out of quality seed.”

Tell all your friends, neighbors and family. E-mail it, put it on Facebook, whatever it takes to get the word out.

GUEBERT, from pg. 2A “The proposed EPA rule will address ag’s objections,” explains one shrewd Capitol Hill observer, “and then be implemented no matter who wins Congress because there are millions of Americans, including farmers and ranchers, who need clearer rules. Government — Congress and the EPA included — doesn’t work in a vacuum.”

The same goes for the yet-to-be-passed 2015 federal budget.

On Sept. 18, Congress, with little debate and hardly any dissent, approved a “continuing resolution” to fund federal spending at Since no one can current levels. The be certain of what CR, however, runs the election might only through Dec. 11. bring, practical By that day or before, Capitol Hill playCongress — the current members, not the ers believe a ones elected Nov. 4 — December budget must either extend deal is a real posthe CR, approve a sibility.

2015 budget or close the government.

Shutting down the government seems an unlikely choice. With the election in the review mirror, few in Washington see any benefit in picking a fight where everyone, Republican and Democrat alike, loses.

The bigger, initial fight will be between extending the CR into the new calendar year or working between Nov. 4 and Dec. 11 to craft a deal that would put a budget in place before the current Congress adjourns later that month.

Pushing the continuing resolution into the new year would be the poorer choice of the two for two reasons.

First, it would push today’s Congressional “dysfunction” into 2015. That’s a word neither the Dems nor the Repubs — regardless of who comes out on top in November — want to hear in the new Congress.

Second, since no one can be certain of what the election might bring, practical Capitol Hill players believe a December budget deal is a real possibility.

That is especially so, they explain, for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell who, if Republicans take the Senate, may find deal making with his new colleagues as hard or harder than Speaker John Boehner finds it in the tea-tinged, GOP-led House.

That could lead to a final budget deal in the old Congress, not the new.

If so, what then did the $1.2 billion spent on Congressional races buy the big spenders?

Right. Access.

Federal shutdown is not very likely

Cover story: Family passing farming tradition to son

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent Farming is a tradition in the families of Dorian and Melanie Gatchell. Both grew up on Century Farms near Granite Falls, where their parents still live on those farms. Dorian’s grandfather had a farm not far outside of Granite Falls. When he died, Dorian and Melanie purchased the building site so they could live in the country.

As of now, farming is still a future goal for them.

Melanie has a master’s degree in English and creative writing, and is adjunct faculty in the English Department of Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall, and a substitute with the Yellow Medicine East school district in Granite Falls.

Dorian has a bachelor’s degree in agronomy from South Dakota State University in Brookings, and a master’s degree from Iowa State. He has his own agronomy consulting business, Minnesota Agricultural Services.

“I don’t think there was ever a time when I contemplated other than being in agriculture,” he said.

“I remember as a kid coming home from school and that’s what you did, you got your snack and you went out and started doing chores. I didn’t consider it work. I enjoyed it.”

Melanie and Dorian Gatchell with their son, Tarin, 10, raise pigs and chickens on their farm near Granite Falls, Minn.

on the garage sale site on Facebook for Granite Falls, and we had more requests than we had pork.”

They have a waiting list of people who want to be contacted when the next group is ready.

It may be a while before they have more butcher weight pigs. Because of the swine virus, porcine epidemic diarrhea, that is devastating to piglets and has been confirmed in Minnesota and Iowa, Dorian hasn’t purchased any feeders as he would like to. Instead he held back three sows and purchased a boar so they can farrow and raise their own this time around.

At 10-years-old, Tarin is wisely cautious about large, rambunctious pigs.

“I like raising pigs like we do,” Tarin said, “but I’d want to have someone out there with me.”

While the number of pigs is reduced at present, Tarin still has his opportunity to experience tradition and learn responsibility. Chickens have been added to their farm and they are Tarin’s daily chore.

He collects, cleans, packages, and sells the eggs.

“When he has extras, he calls up people and asks if they need eggs,” Melanie said.

As he has done with the pork, Tarin keeps records to make sure no one’s order gets overlooked.

“What I like is it’s giving him some responsibility and giving him a project to follow through with,” Dorian said.

Dorian serves all sizes of operations in his consulting work, and if the Gatchells ever get to fulltime farming, he expects to be on the smaller end of the spectrum.

“It’s about meeting goals and getting self-satisfaction that you can live a life that way,” Melanie said.

“There’s a little bit of stress, but what life doesn’t have stress?”

One of the goals they are meeting right now is giving Tarin a sense of the farm experience with which Dorian grew up — getting outside, working with livestock, and learning responsibility, and the satisfaction that comes with it. Having fresh eggs and great-tasting pork to sell is an added bonus.

Don’t get the idea that Dorian is just being nostalgic.

In fact, he’s very realistic. More than once he made the comment that “In the end, you still have to be able to pay the bills.” Farming has changed through the years, but his good childhood memories will definitely influence what he wants to share with his own son.

“To have the same type of childhood or the same thing I had when growing up,” he said, “that’s probably about as good as it gets.” ❖

THE LAND, OCTOBER 10, 2014

TRADITION, from pg. 6A It also taught him responsibility. Having those good memories, he wanted their son, Tarin, to have a similar experience, a sense of how it was when he was growing up. They bought a few pigs to raise “the way my grandfather did,” Dorian said.

He grinds his own feed, giving them corn, soybean meal, and minerals. They get medications only if they are sick with one exception, he gives them worming medication as a preventative.

“Pigs raised outside in dirt will have worms,” he said.

The pigs also get some treats.

“Apples fall off our trees and the pigs get those,” Melanie said. “They’ve been eating watermelon, cucumbers, and carrots.”

While raising a couple pigs “as grandfather did” to pass on a tradition to their son was the prime motivator, and providing their family with meat gave it a practical basis, they discovered an added bonus — taste. Even Dorian’s father, who raised pigs many years ago but has been buying meat in the store, commented that he forgot what pork could taste like.

Their tradition is turning into a small enterprise.

“We raised a couple for us,” Dorian said. “Maybe some for our folks, then maybe for a brother and sister, then a neighbor was talking about wanting one, and then somebody else, and all of a sudden it turned into raising pigs.”

“Earlier this year we had a whole bunch that were ready to be butchered,” Melanie said. “I put a notice

Old farm items salvaged, made into fabulous décor Artist, teacher, farm wife turns passion for creativity into on-farm business

By MARIE WOOD The Land Associate Editor On sale days, 100 to 150 people descend on the Barn Store on the Steffl farm just outside of Morgan, Minn.

Jamie Steffl, artist and art teacher at Redwood Valley High School, has transformed her 1941 granary into a charming store that’s stocked with handpainted furniture and home décor salvaged and made anew by Jamie and like-minded artisans.

“I’ve always wanted a place that was mine. I enjoy creating experiences for others — in my classroom and out on the farm — and inspiring people,” said Jamie. “My gift is to make things. If you have gifts, you’re happiest when you use them.”

Photos by Marie Wood

Jamie Steffl hosts a one-day sale each month, May through October, at her Redwood County business.

Since most of the furniture sells in the morning, her repeat customers often come in groups and show up at 9 a.m. on the dot. Since 2012, she has opened the store one Saturday a month from May to October. She only does one-day sales.

“The selection the second day is never the same as the first day. I want people who come out to the farm to have the most bountiful shopping. I want them to find something they love,” Jamie said. “Every time you come, it’s a different experience so it’s never the same store.”

Jamie is known for her painted furniture and decorative items that are beautiful yet functional. She has repurposed old cabinet doors into chalkboards for busy families; entertainment centers that can double as a wine rack. She has tables, shelves, dressers, coat racks, garden art, collectibles and more. The granary is stocked from floor to ceiling.

Most everyone who comes to the Barn Store leaves with something they love. There are primitive pieces and many items with a farm theme — repurposed chicken waterers, kettles, zinc metal items such as pails, wash tubs and milk cans, and wooden crates.

These and other pieces would be at home on HGTV’s “Fixer Upper” and the painted furniture is mimicked in Pottery Barn catalogs stacked in Jamie’s home.

These vintage pieces mix well in most home styles.

Other vendors — mostly creative women who are farmers and farmers’ wives — help fill the space with their wares. Giving other skilled artisans a place to fuel their passion and sell their work is part See BARN STORE, pg. 9A

Artist repurposes castoffs into things people use, love If you go What: the Barn Store Sale Day When: 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 18 Where: 37479 State Highway 68, Clements, Minn.

Visit www.farmfabulosity.com for more information “This wood has its own soul,” she said. “Some things can’t be painted. I like the mix of stained wood with painted pieces.”

Farm fabulous The vintage theme continues throughout Jamie and Brent’s home. They host Thanksgiving at the farm so Jamie is making the centerpiece out of an old chicken feeder and mini pumpkins.

“Brent has an appreciation for hard work and things from the past. I think most farmers are like that — traditional,” said Jamie.

Their home is decorated with refinished pieces, rocks from their travels and comfy furniture. Her grandpa was a carpenter; his handmade wooden hammers stand by the fireplace and his carpenter’s ruler hangs in their son’s room.

“All these things have a story,” she said.

As Jamie looks forward to harvest, she anticipates long hours in a short window of time.

With a smile and a twinkle in her eye, she said that her MEA Weekend will be “farm fabulous,” a phrase she coined to describe their lifestyle.

“Farming is a two-person career for families,” she said.

Most harvests, she runs equipment from field to field. This year, she may be combining. With extra hands on the farm, she will be making meals and coffee and supplying water to all. Most important, she will give her husband someone to talk to.

“I’m keeping him awake, keeping him alert and fed and whatever else he needs,” said Jamie.

Brent has found that farming has always drawn him home.

“I’ve done a lot of jobs, but farming is what I’ve always wanted to do. I like being outside,” he said. ❖

awesome entertainment.”

“You look for pieces with good bones and clean lines,” said Jamie. “I have a knack for finding great things at incredible prices. I pass that along.”

She keeps her prices affordable. Many furniture pieces are priced under $50 — including dressers, tables, desks and shelves.

Some larger pieces cost more.

When customers tell her to raise her prices, she replies, “Enjoy it.

Take it home and love it.”

Jamie likes to keep things out of landfills and give people affordable decorating options at the same time. At auction, she won a bid for an old farmer’s tool box and all the tractor springs inside it. Then she made a metal wall hanging with a flower made of painted springs. Next up are Christmas trees made from the springs.

On most of her furniture, Jamie uses Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. To bring out the furniture’s lines, she uses light and dark waxes.

To make it durable, she finishes the piece with shellac or a gel varnish.

In today’s economy, she’s found the most sellable items serve a function.

So Jamie will use backs of old chairs to make jewelry hangers or she will take an old dresser and replace the cracked vanity mirror with chicken wire, which then can be used to hang earrings.

“It’s great for little girls and big girls to keep our stuff organized,” Jamie said.

She can get emotionally attached to her pieces. Her strong short-nailed hands rub a cellar door from a 120-year-old home. She painted it barn red, flipped the original hinges around and added hooks. She thinks it will be a perfect coat hanger on a porch.

Jamie also has an antique oak table that would sell if she painted it.

THE LAND, OCTOBER 10, 2014

BARN STORE, from pg. 8A of Jamie’s mission.

Virginia Landkammer’s aprons and totes made from vintage feed sacks from the 1920s are a popular item at the Barn. In fact, the sacks used to be easy to find, but they have become harder to come by in recent years.

“I stick to homemade, not mass produced — something created with two hands,” Jamie said.

“I’m an art teacher so that sense of purpose is important to me.”

FARM Jamie lives out her FARM acronym of “find, alter, repurpose, make” every day of her life — both in the Barn Store and on the family farm.

“A farm is a lifelong process. It’s cleaning up from the previous generation and salvaging what you can and making it your own,” she said, looking at the Harvestore silos that sit empty and a barn that needs saving.

In 2011, newlyweds Brent and Jamie Steffl bought the family farm from Brent’s mom after his dad passed away. With their three school-aged children — Madison, Leo and Hannah — Noah, their German foreign exchange student, and their German Short Hair dog, they live on the farm that has been in Brent’s family for three generations.

Brent farms 900 acres of corn and soybeans with some help from his brothers. They have remodeled the home into what Jamie calls our “modern farmhouse.”

“She has a gift,” said Brent. “I’m very impressed how she can take stuff that nobody wants.”

Then Jamie repurposes the castoffs into something people use and love. For instance, she has salvaged door toppers from a 110-year-old home. She placed hardware and drawer pulls to offer a place to hang jewelry, decorations, coats, curtains or hats.

“It’s authentic and repurposed and beautiful,” said Jamie.

Pork raised, processed on-site at Fox Farm Pork

By TIM KING The Land Correspondent BROWERVILLE, Minn. — Laurence and Arlene Fox’s daughter had her wedding reception on the family farm near here in July.

“We barbecued 500 pork chops from our hogs and dug potatoes from our garden,” Laurence said. “We had a few chops left over, but it’s better to have too many than not enough.”

All those chops came from pork raised and processed on the farm. The Fox farm, known as Fox Farm Pork, is the site of an equal-to U.S. Department of Agriculture inspected processing plant as well as a farrow-to-finish hog operation. In the facility Fox Farm Pork prepares a line of fresh pork cuts, smoked cuts, fresh ground sausage, fresh brats, and smoked sausage.

When Laurence talks about freshness he gets a little excited.

“We’ll butcher 15 hogs on Wednesday and we’ll make sausage on Friday. You can’t get much fresher than that,” he said. “The meat is fresh and tasty so we use our sausage recipes and curing to accent the flavor of the meat. Not to hide it.”

Freshness and flavor are critical to the products that Laurence is proud of and so are the natural ingredients Fox Farm Pork uses in their pork products.

“All our products are minimally processed without fillers and ingredients such as monosodium glutaSee FOX FARM, pg. 11A

— Laurence Fox

After birth little pigs are allowed to nurse until they are ready to move to feed on their own. Then they are raised and finished in four hoop houses with deep bedded straw. Laurence said that the deep straw, with the composting manure pack under it, keeps the hogs warm through the coldest weather.

“They burrow down into the straw and you can’t even see them,” he said. “Sometimes you see just their noses or eyes.”

FOX FARM, from pg. 10A mate,” he said. “In our smoked products we use allnatural cures. These are based on the naturally occurring nitrites in celery powder. Celery powder eliminates the need for sodium nitrates.”

The pork processing is done in a refurbished chicken processing facility that was on the farm when the Fox family moved there in 2006. The meat processing area used by the chicken processors only needed a smoker, sausage making equipment, and some additional equipment to make it ready to process red meat.

“We would never have been able to do this if a lot of things hadn’t already been in place when we came,” Laurence said.

The big change made by the Fox family was the construction of a small and efficient kill floor for hogs as well as cattle. Laurence can work shoulderto-shoulder with two sons and an inspector as they kill, eviscerate, and skin a hog in minutes. He’s particularly proud of the humane kill chute that he designed himself.

“When the hog comes into the chute it lays gently down on its side and doesn’t even know what happens,” he said.

Killing on-farm also minimizes stress in animals.

Animals that are killed humanely and haven’t been stressed by spending hours in a truck provide a better quality meat, Laurence said.

To raise quality pork, Fox Farm Pork buys gilts from Compart Pork. They are excellent mothers, according to Laurence. The farm uses Chester White boars.

“I was switching back and forth between Durocs and Chester White boars but I like the Chester White better,” he said.

Quality pork products translate to customer loyalty

THE LAND, OCTOBER 10, 2014

FOX FARM, from pg. 11A Fox Farm Pork raises some of its hogs for Niman Ranch and has received a number of quality awards from the company. In 2013, the farm was rated No. 5 out of 161 farmers for pork quality. As a basic standard, Niman Ranch requires that all hogs be raised either on pasture or dry bedding and be protected from the extremes of heat and cold. The hogs can never have been treated with antibiotics or hormones and must have been fed on an exclusively vegetarian diet.

The Fox Family is proud that their pork is rated

among the best by a national company with high standards. But Laurence’s plan is to eventually process all of his pork and sell it directly to consumers, stores and restaurants.

“We do some custom processing now but our longterm goal is to use our plant to process all of our pork here on the farm,” he said. “We finish around 1,000 hogs a year.”

Laurence’s thinking is that costs can be controlled by on-farm processing and that price can be controlled by consistently producing a high quality product.

Laurence Fox controls costs by raising, grinding, mixing his own feed. He hopes to create customer loyalty by consistently producing a high quality product.

“There are always swings in the market, but by producing a quality product I am creating loyalty with my customers,” he said. “They won’t abandon me for a cheaper product.”

Laurence also controls cost by raising, grinding, and mixing his own feed. He is particularly pleased with his less expensive, high-performing, non-genetically modified corn.

“The co-op asked us to do some side-by-side trials,” he said. “Our non-GMO variety outperformed all those expensive GMO varieties by 20 bushels.

Besides, our hogs are growing faster on it than they were on the GMO varieties.”

By using non-GMO corn, Laurence says he is saving on seed cost, getting a slightly better yield, and better growth as well. To get fertility to crops Laurence composts his animals’ manure and bedding.

Unlike livestock farmers that ship their animals to slaughter, Laurence also is able to keep the nutrients from the offal on the farm. He composts it with the manure and bedding.

“It makes a very hot compost that has no odor,” he said.

Fox Farm Pork products are available directly from the farm, from Everybody’s Market in Long Prairie, The Grain Bin in Alexandria, Crow Wing Co-op in Brainerd, Good Earth in St. Cloud, Cherry Grove in Browerville, and Minnesota Street Market in St. Joseph. ❖

By TIM KING The Land Correspondent OGILVIE, Minn. — Buckthorn is a shrub or small tree that is an invasive species in Minnesota woodlots and forests. It can dominate the understory of a healthy woodlot and eventually shade out new seedlings and native shrubs.

Without removal, buckthorn can have a major negative economic impact on the forest. Stands of buckthorn also harbor agricultural pests such as crown rust fungus and soybean aphids. It can, as a result, have a negative economic impact on nearby farm fields as well.

Buckthorn infestations should be removed. But conventional removal and eradication of buckthorn can cost in excess of $300 per acre, according to Nancy Lunzer, an Ogilvie area farmer, who wanted to take action against a buckthorn infestation on her farm. Conventional eradication usually involves herbicides and can take years.

“The entire area of buckthorn on our farm drains into wetlands and ponds and clear-cutting would remove the windbreak to the homestead and livestock areas,” Lunzer said. “It was my goal to get rid of the buckthorn without destroying the windbreak and without leaching herbicide and silt into area wetlands.”

Starting in 2010, Lunzer set out to eliminate her 10-acre buckthorn problem and turn the land into productive pasture and woodland. Her elimination method included hogs, chickens, and some mechanical removal.

Since her proposed methods were experimental and because they had potential value for other landowners, she applied for and received, a two-year $5,979.00 grant from United States Department of Agriculture’s Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education program.

Lunzer used much of her grant to buy 2,600 feet of perimeter and portable paddock net fencing, portable hog housing, and watering equipment. The portable net fencing, called PigQuik, was used to establish small rotational paddocks within the permanent perimeter fence.

Hogs dug up 5.5 acres of buckthorn in two years BUCKTHORN, from pg. 13A to be good foragers.

“The hogs worked day and night rooting up vegetation in search of grubs, earthworms, roots, mushrooms, acorns, and butternuts,” she said. “They turned the top 6 to 8 eight inches of soil, digging out stumps, rocks and roots and gleaning anything edible from the forest floor. They trampled the downed vegetation breaking it up under foot and driving it into the soil.”

After the hogs had trashed the buckthorn in an area, Lunzer seeded the area to shade tolerant grasses such as varieties of fescue and Kentucky bluegrass. She seeded shade tolerant grasses because there were still some aspens growing in the area freed from buckthorn.

“In one area with partial sun I mixed in orchard grass which produces more forage and tolerates shade,” she said.

All the grass plantings were mulched. Once the grass had established, Lunzer rotationally grazed sheep on it. She says the sheep will keep the buckthorn from coming back in future years.

In total Lunzer cleared 5.5 acres of buckthorn during the two-year project.

“Typical costs to have 5.5 acres of buckthorn removed would be $1,375,” she said. “Annual follow up spraying with herbicide for two years would be $1,650. A total of $3,025 was saved in two years.”

Rail delays worry farmers due to record harvest Minnesota Public Radio News MADELIA, Minn. — At the Crystal Valley Cooperative, a railroad locomotive slowly moves grain cars into position to be filled with corn.

As a worker prepares to unleash a torrent of corn into the next waiting car, the long line stops with a bang.

“This one is going to Burley, Idaho,” said Jeff Spence, the company’s grain division manager. “It’ll be used for dairy feed.”

Spence is happy to have a train to load, even though he had to wait for days.

With a record harvest expected this year, demand for grain shipping is likely to be high, and Midwestern farmers are wondering whether ongoing railroad delays will eat into their income even more.

“This train, we were supposed to get it Monday,” Spence said Thursday at the southern Minnesota facility. “So they’re still running a few days behind.”

But that’s a relatively mild hold-up compared to much-longer delays in North and South Dakota and western Minnesota.

Although farm groups are complaining in unison about rail shipping delays, some areas are much worse off than others.

Grain shippers in the northern and western parts

of the state have few options beyond rail, said Jerry Fruin, professor emeritus of agricultural economics at the University of Minnesota.

But southern Minnesota farmers have more choices, such as shipping by barge on the Mississippi River. Also, instead of sending crops to other parts of the country or the world, southern Minnesota keeps more of its grain at home. Livestock feed is one big use, but there are others.

“The major use for corn would be processing into ethanol, and for soybeans processing it into meal used for feed; and oil, primarily used for food,” Fruin said.

So if rail cars are not available, a Southern Minnesota farmer or elevator may be able to sell grain to a local buyer.

When farmers or grain elevators have to wait to move grain, the added costs can run in the hundreds of millions, by some estimates.

“When you get into transportation shortages, the price of transportation will probably go up to meet the demand,” Fruin said.

That’s what happened when the rail car shortage hit. The cost of shipping more than doubled for many grain elevators.

Fruin said farmers pay the bill for those increases because transportation expenses are taken out of the price per bushel an elevator pays for grain. That shipping deduction, called a “basis,” fluctuates – largely beasue of shipping costs.

“It is generally equal to what the transportation cost is to the market that you are wanting to send it to,” Fruin said.

Typically the basis for corn is anywhere from 20 to 40 cents a bushel. When the rail crisis hit, the shortage of grain cars drove the price of rail shipping sky high and, the corn basis soared right along with it.

In the worst hit areas, like western Minnesota and the Dakotas, the basis deduction tripled to a dollar a

bushel or more.

Many northwest Minnesota elevators are paying extremely low cash prices for corn because shipping costs are taking such a big cut, said Tom Haag, former president of the Minnesota Corn Growers Association.

“This past week I talked to a colleague up there that, their corn basis is still 90 cents,” Haag said.

“And they’re looking at cash corn right now at $1.95.

That’s major for those poor fellas up there.”

The cost to the farmers in that part of the state is substantial because they’re earning less than $2 for a bushel of corn that costs over $4 to produce.

Such losses add up. A University of Minnesota study estimates state farmers already have lost $100 million, largely because of the shipping deduction.

At the Crystal Valley operation in Madelia, a worker collects a corn sample from a rail car for quality testing. For farmers, the price of this corn is still painfully low, even though the elevator has options for shipping.

When delays and high costs limit rail transportation the co-op can sell to a nearby ethanol plant.

That helps buffer local corn producers against even greater financial pain from the rail car shortage.

As the harvest gets underway, farmers will have to worry about rail transportation as well as the usual potential setbacks from weather, machinery breakdowns, or a disappointing crop. The major railroads say they’ve spent hundreds of millions of dollars upgrading service this summer.

The Canadian Pacific railway is reducing its backlog of shipping requests, spokesman Andy Cummings said.

“We do expect to be current with demand heading into the fall harvest,” he said.

If that happens, it may be the first good news on the rail front for farmers and other shippers in nearly a year. ❖

Get nutrients to the plants ANALYZE, from pg. 18A by the end of October most companies will be out of conventional hybrids.

Despite the risk of needing propane to bin dry corn, Yegge’s not a proponent of using early hybrids to possibly get more field drying. Yegge recommends one-third early, medium and full maturity hybrids.

“Part of this maturity issue, I think, is that we’re lacking some nutrients getting into the plants,” said Yegge.

“Guys who do more tissue testing in season to monitor their fertilizer program are seeing a lot of deficiencies going on out in those fields. This tells me we should be overlapping our soil maps with tissue testing results to see if what I put into the soils is getting taken up by the corn plants.

“A lot of growers think plant color has to do with nitrogen deficiency.

Sometimes it does but there’s more

problems other than nitrogen when you’ve got plant discoloration going on out there.”

Nutrient balance Prescription planting, which can help farmers adjust planting rates on the go based on soil type and soil fertility, may not be the answer to nutrient balance.

“If your monitor is telling you that you need to drop from 36,000 plants per acre to 28,000 on the hilltop, the next question is whether you are using a flex hybrid or a determinate hybrid.

The flex can adjust quite well to these changes in population and fertility,” said Yegge.

Yegge advocates deep soil testing from 12 inches or deeper. One of Ag Performance’s services is analyzing soil and tissue samples for proper hybrid placement and soil balance for proper uptake of nutrients.

Grain Outlook Big yields, slow harvest

Livestock Angles Cattle up, hogs try to keep pace

Grain Angles Decisions, decisions

The following market analysis is for the week ending Oct. 3.

CORN — Corn stabilized this week as it balanced continuing reports of tremendous yields against slow harvest progress. December corn set a new contract low at $3.18 1⁄4 per bushel. This is the lowest price for a lead corn contract since September 2009. The low on the continuous corn chart in 2009 was $2.96 3⁄4 per bushel. Midweek rains that began in the West and moved into the East stunted fieldwork, but it is not believed to have hurt yields.

Harvest progress as of Oct. 5 is PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. expected to be near 20 percent St. Paul complete, well behind the 31 percent average for this week. Private estimates for the average U.S. corn yield surfaced throughout the week and ranged from around 177-180 bushels per acre. The September U.S. Department of Agriculture forecast was 171.7 bu./acre. Many in the trade are not looking for any significant acreage changes on the Oct. 10 USDA monthly crop report. Informa Economics’ updated balance sheet is using 176.4 bu./acre for a crop of 14.395 billion bushels. The September USDA report showed a crop of 14.395 billion bushels.

The Sept. 30 release of the USDA Grain Stocks report, as of Sept. 1, was not a market moving factor.

Corn stocks were higher than expected at 1.236 billion bushels compared to estimates of 1.185 billion bushels and 55 million bushels higher than the last projection of 1.181 billion bushels. Of the total, 462 million bushels were on-farm and 774 million

Seems little has changed in the livestock markets as the month of October gets underway. Cattle are still on an upward trend, and the hog market struggles to keep pace.

The cattle market remains extremely volatile and continues to mark new highs in price each month since June. Supply is the main topic of conversation when it comes to describing the cattle market. Continued lack of animals and a relative constant demand for beef have bolstered the cattle prices for the past several months. The outlook for any major change in the supply of cattle seems very unlikely in the JOE TEALE next several months.

Broker It will be the demand for beef Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. that will eventually be the caveat for the cattle market. Until that happens the packer will continue to be forced into paying the higher prices for live inventory despite the fact that profit margins are extremely weak to negative.

The overall condition of the market remains overbought as it has for some time. This has not deterred the market from continuing the advance in prices so far. With beef cutouts appearing to solidify and finding a near-term low, a challenge of recent highs in the cutout is anticipated. It will now depend on resistance at these higher levels in the cutout to determine whether further price appreciation will be tolerated by the consumer.

Since the supply of beef is well-recognized it will be the demand for beef that will obviously determine how far prices for cattle will go, and when a top in the

As we head into another harvest, there sure is a lot to think about and consider in your farming operation.

The fall is always an exciting time of year as we realize the benefit of all the work that started in the spring with that first tillage pass. The very early soybean harvest results that I’ve heard are yields are above average, but as usual there’s a lot of variability. The livestock segment is about 70 percent done with their chopping of corn and tonnage appears to be average.

When we look at some of the decisions in the months leading up to year-end, there may be more decisions and analyzing than you’ve ever had to do with ANDY HUNEKE your operation. First, we have a AgStar Director Agbiz & completely new farm program to Trade Credit/Leasing Northfield, Minn. navigate. There will be many tools available for you to analyze your operation and how it might fit into the options that are available.

Along with your own education, if you work with landlords, there could be an education curve to inform them on the options. More details and resources will be coming to help you with your decision-making but each step will require your understanding of how your decision now will affect your possible payments from the program for the next five years.

As we move through the harvest, we start to develop a pretty good idea of what our yields are and the amount of crop we will have to harvest. Of course, after filling up your own storage first, then comes deciding what you’re going to do with the crop that doesn’t fit in the bin and isn’t marketed. Do you want to store it at a commercial facility and pay storage,

HUNEKE, from pg. 22A sell it and buy options to cover it, or just sell it?

All of the options may make sense, but make sure you analyze the cost of carry and the current carry in the market. As I am writing this, the carry from the December 2014 to the July 2015 contract is approximately 28 ce j knts. This may make it appealing to hold the crop if you factor in basis improvement, however, with a large crop, no one knows where basis will be next spring either. Decisions, decisions.

Tax planning, possible input purchases, marketing decisions and the stress of the holidays can also be added to the list of items to work on before the end of the year. With the current economics in the grain industry, many of your decisions won’t be as automatic as they were in the last four years. You’ll be asking yourself questions like, do I continue with the same fertilizing plan or back off? Do I continue with using the stacked corn varieties or do I go to a less expensive hybrid?

Your tax planning strategy should already be determined as you should know if you will be deferring income into 2015. If you deferred much of your income from 2013 to 2014, at levels above the income you are generating now, how will that affect your tax situation? With the prospects of lower income, now is a good time to understand how you balance your tax liability to conserve your cash for the future.

And don’t forget that you need to continue to look at other input costs, rents, machine costs and decide how you continue to adjust your expenses in the new grain economic cycle. As I said, there are so many decisions in the next few months that will have a long-term impact on your business. Take the time to make informed decisions and choices. The stress level will be increasing as we work through these issues, so be sure you’re also keeping an eye on your health and the health of your family.

TEALE, from pg. 22A cattle price is found. Producers should not assume that this bull market will continue indefinitely, and monitor the market to be prepared to protect inventories as needed.

The hog market seems to be struggling after making a nice price recovery after taking a significant price slide. Hog numbers appear to be on the increase once again as the effects of the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus are appearing to be declining.

So far the demand for pork has remained fairly constant offsetting the increase in hog numbers.

With the U.S. dollar strengthening over the past month the export market may contract causing a decrease in the overall demand for pork. This may further weaken the price paid for live inventory by the packer if demand weakens for any reason. The fact that pork continues to be a fair value in the protein market should continue to assist in keeping the hog market relatively competitive in comparison.

Therefore, as with the beef, demand will be the main factor in the price direction for the hog market.

The futures market is anticipating the decline in hog price as deferred contracts are already at a deep discount to the current lean index. This fact should alert producers to be prudent and protect inventories if the opportunity presents itself in the weeks ahead. ❖

upping their yield estimate to 48.5 bu./acre compared to the September USDA 46.6 bu./acre forecast. Their crop estimate is 4.017 billion bushels versus USDA’s last projection for 3.913 billion bushels. It was somewhat impressive how agricultural commodities responded to the sharply higher U.S. dollar. Weekly export sales were the lowest so far in this marketing year at 31.9 million bushels. We only need to average roughly 14 million bushels per week to achieve the USDA’s current export forecast of 1.7 billion bushels.

China has suspended the approval process of two genetically modified organism traits. Neither of the reported traits are currently commercially grown in the United States. This situation is different from the MIR 162 banned corn trait in that there are not bushels in the pipeline and China needs soybeans.

Soybean planting in Brazil has gotten underway, but dry conditions may slow progress.

OUTLOOK: Harvest is anticipated to reach 20 percent as of Oct. 5, just half of the 40 percent average for this week. Yield reports remain incredible and recent weather is not expected to change the trend.

The trade’s outlook for the average U.S. soybean yield is leaning closer to 50 bu./acre rather than the USDA’s September forecast for 46.6 bu./acre. We could see price consolidation prior to the October crop report; but if weather promotes harvest activity, rallies may be difficult to maintain.

NYSTROM, from pg. 22A bushels were stored off-farm. The higher Sept. 1 stocks will be reflected by a corresponding higher carry-in for the 2014-15 crop year on the Oct. 10 USDA monthly crop report.

Ethanol production fell to 881,000 bushels per day from 889,000 bushels per day week to week. Stocks of ethanol grew from 18.6 to 18.8 million barrels.

Ethanol spot prices plunged to numbers not observed since April 2010 as gasoline prices plummeted. Margins have slimmed, but are still positive.

We are still waiting for the 2014 Renewable Fuel Standard mandate level to be announced, already almost a year late. Weekly export sales of 25.1 million bushels were the smallest in four weeks. This week’s number was in line with what we need on a weekly basis to hit the USDA’s 1.75 billion bushel export forecast.

The Old Farmer’s Almanac weather map for this winter predicts cold and dry for the majority of the Midwest that includes the Dakotas, Minnesota, most of Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska south. Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky have a forecast for cold and snowy conditions. For next summer, the vast majority of the western Corn Belt is forecast to receive hot and dry conditions, while the eastern two-thirds of Illinois and northern Indiana will be hot with normal precipitation. The hot, dry forecast for the summer of 2015 may eventually be true, but it is too early to make any assumptions.

OUTLOOK: For the week, December corn gained 1⁄4 cent to close at $3.23 1⁄4 per bushel. If weather further delays harvest, we could expect a limited, short term upswing toward $3.31 1⁄2 per bushel; the strength of the U.S. dollar and the magnitude of the harvest before us should preclude any sharp, sustained increase.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans actually showed a marginal gain for the week with the November contract up 2 cents at $9.12 1⁄4 per bushel. Soybean stocks as of Sept. 1 were reported this week at the smallest carryout in history at 92 million bushels. This was accomplished by revising last year’s production 69 million bushels higher to 3.358 billion bushels through a combination of acreage and yield, and with residual moving from a negative 94 million bushels to a positive 13 million bushels.

Acreage for 2013-14 was raised 307,000 acres, harvested acres were increased 384,000 acres, and the yield went from 43.3 bu./acre to 44.0 bu./acre. The breakdown of the 92 million bushel carryover was 21.3 million bushels on–farm and 70.6 million bushels stored commercially. The new stocks-to-use ratio for 2013-14 of 2.7 percent is the tightest in history. If this year’s crop wasn’t such a monster, the smaller carryout may have been bullish force; but in the end, it really wasn’t.

The new November contract low of $9.04 represents the lowest price for a lead contract since February 2010 when it hit $9.00 per bushel. Weather put a damper on harvest, but yield reports continue to be phenomenal. Reports of over 70 bu./acre were becoming common before the rain settled in.

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 the 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.

Landowners and producers should have received a listing of existing crop base acres and reported planted acres for 2009-12 from the FSA in late July or early August. Any errors in the data should be reported to their local FSA office as soon as possible. If no decision on reallocation of crop base acres is made by the sign-up deadline, or if there is not agreement on the choice, the crop base acres that existed for 2013 will remain in place for the 2014-18 crop years.

Updating farm program payment yields Producers and landowners also have a choice of keeping their existing counter-cyclical payment yields on a farm unit from the previous farm program, or updating the FSA payment yields. Updated yields will be made on crop specific basis, and will be 90 percent of the five-year (2008-12) average crop yields for each eligible crop on a farm unit. FSA has issued a form titled “Price Loss Coverage Yield Worksheet” (CCC-859) which will be used as a worksheet for potentially updating FSA payment yields. On Form CCC-859, the crop yield for each year (2008-12) that a particular eligible crop was raised is listed.

Only the years that the crop was raised on a particular farm unit are considered for the yield update. For example, if corn was only raised in only three years, only those years are used in calculations.

Landowners with cash rented land will likely need to work with their farm operators in order the get the yield data for 2008-12. Producers and landowners will need to reveal the source of the yield data used on Form CCC859; however, it does appear that crop insurance yield data through the Risk Management Agency will be acceptable for acceptable yield verification. All reported yields used to update FSA payment yields will be subSee PROGRAMS, pg. 25A

Producers have one-time choice • Wheat = $5.50 per bushel PLC program payments will be made if the 12-month market year average price falls below the established reference 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. The MYA year for wheat and other small grain crops is June 1 to May 31. PLC payments would be made in October of the year following crop production, and will be made on 85 percent of eligible crop base acres for a given crop. PLC payments can occur even if an eligible crop is not raised in a particular year on a FSA farm unit.

Producers choosing the PLC program will also have the option to purchase the Supplemental Crop Option insurance coverage on an annual basis from 2015-18 for eligible crops. SCO allows producers to purchase additional county-based crop insurance coverage above their existing insurance coverage, up to a maximum of 86 percent insurance coverage. For example, if a producer normally carries 80 percent individual crop insurance coverage for a crop, they could purchase an additional six percent SCO insurance coverage on eligible crops, which are planted on FSA farm units that are enrolled in the PLC farm program.

The FSA payment yields will be used for payment calculations for the new PLC program, but not for the ARC-CO or the ARC-IC program options. However, it may be a wise choice to update the FSA program yields for eligible program crops on FSA farm units where there is an advantage, as these updated yields may be carried forward for future farm programs beyond 2018. The opportunity to update FSA payment yields has not been made available since 2002, and if the program yields were not updated in the 2002 counter-cyclical program, the current payment yields are the “direct payment yields,” which date back to the early 1980s. If no decision on is made on updating FSA payment yields by the signup deadline, the current FSA payment yields will remain in place for the 2014-18 crop years.

PLC program Producers will have a one-time choice between the ARC-CO program, and the PLC program, for each eligible crop, on each individual FSA farm unit. The PLC program is based on established crop reference prices for eligible crop commodities, which will be in place for the 2014-18 crop years. Following crop reference prices for common crops raised in the Upper Midwest: • Corn = $3.70 per bushel • Soybeans = $8.40 per bushel

Producers, landowners have big decisions to make PROGRAMS, from pg. 25A ARC-CO program The ARC-CO program is based on actual county crop revenue (yield and price) for each crop, which is compared to average benchmark county crop revenue for each crop, in order to determine potential ARC-CO program payments for each crop. Benchmark revenues and potential ARC payments for the ARC-CO program will be determined by county-level yields. The most recent county five-year average yield for a crop, dropping the highest and lowest yields, will be used to calculate the ARC-CO benchmark yield for a crop. The most recent five-year MYA prices, again dropping the highest and lowest prices, will be used to calculate the ARC-CO benchmark price for a crop. The calculated benchmark county yield times the benchmark MYA price will be the annual county benchmark revenue for a crop in a given year. The county benchmark yields, prices, and revenues are adjusted each year.

The ARC-CO program guarantee for a given crop is 86 percent of the calculated county benchmark revenue for that year. ARC-CO payments for a given crop will occur when the actual county revenue (county yield times MYA price) falls below the annual county revenue guarantee for that crop. The maximum ARC-CO payments are 10 percent of the county benchmark revenue per acre for a crop. Any potential ARC-CO payments would be made in October of the year following crop production, and would be paid on 85 percent of eligible crop base acres for a given crop. ARC-CO payments can occur for an eligible crop, even if that crop was not raised in a particular year, as all payments are on the basis of crop base acres on a FSA farm unit.

ARC-IC program The ARC-IC program operates very similar to the ARC-CO program, but combines the five-year “weighted” revenue (actual farm yields times MYA) for

all crops on a farm unit for the previous five years, in order to calculate benchmark revenue for the FSA farm unit, rather than the crop-specific approach used in the ARC-CO program.

The “weighting” is done on the basis of the percentage of crop base acres on a FSA farm unit. The maximum payments in ARC-IC program are also limited to 10 percent of the “weighted” benchmark revenue for the farm, with potential payments made on only 65 percent of crop base acres, as compared to 85 percent with the ARC-CO program. The ARC-IC program must include all eligible farm program crops on a FSA farm unit, with no option for either the PLC or ARC-CO programs on specific crops.

Farm program resources available The USDA FSA has created a website with up-to-date information and resources on the various farm program choices. Several land-grant universities have also been designated to develop spreadsheets and decision tools, in cooperation with FSA, to assist producers and landowners with their farm program decisions. Following are the web sites for the farm program information, spreadsheets, and other resources: • FSA ARC/PLC website — www.fsa.usda.gov/arc-plc • The University of Illinois FarmDoc Farm Bill Toolbox — www.farmdoc.illinois.edu/farmbilltoolbox • The University of Missouri Food & Ag Policy Center — www.fapri.missouri.edu • Texas A&M Ag & Food Policy Center — www.afpc.tamu.edu Several other state universities will be working with their state FSA offices to develop new farm program educa-

tional tools and information for their particular states. There will likely be several educational meetings and webinars in the coming months.

Bottom line The basic commodity farm programs in the new farm bill are being implemented by USDA for the 2014 crop year, so producers and land owners will have some big decisions to make in the coming months. The good news are that all sign-up deadlines are well into 2015, so there is some time to review the all the information and run various scenarios on spreadsheets before making the final farm program decisions. It is important to remember that all farm program decisions are for five years from the 2014-18 crop years.

A “no decision” on reallocating crop base acres and FSA payment yields will result in continuation of the existing base acres and payment yields for 2014-18. A “no decision” on the farm program choice on a FSA farm unit will result in that farm unit being in the PLC program for 2015-18, with no farm program coverage or payments for the 2014 crop year. This could be a very costly mistake for Upper Midwest producers, as farm program payments appear likely for both corn and soybeans for 2014, given current MYA price estimates for 2014-15. Not making the correct base acre, payment yield, or farm program choice could potentially result in loss of significant ARC or PLC payments for corn and soybeans in 2014 and 2015, as well as potential payments in future years.

Teens milking for the money

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Dairy farmer Matt Schelling employs high school and college kids to do the milking on his 120-cow dairy operation called Walnut Grove Dairy near Sioux Center, Iowa.

“Because it’s part-time work, Matt Schelling it works well for us to hire high school and college kids to do the milking. It’s a shorter shift and these kids find a way to make it work around their school schedules. It’s a great part-time job for these kids,” said Schelling.

The milking schedule on the Schelling farm is 4 to 6:30, a.m. and p.m.

“Sounds crazy, but these kids don’t seem to mind getting up at 3:30 a.m. to be out here milking at 4 a.m. They’re night owls anyway so this seems to work,” he said.

Schelling uses a seven-year-old system that’s a double-eight herringbone. Only one of these students is doing the milking each shift. Schelling and his brother are doing the feeding and manure

cleanup as the youth are doing the milking.

He hires both young men and women and sees no difference in their abilities. Hiring local school kids dates back to Schelling’s dad who started the program in 2000.

“We’ve had nothing but positive experiences.

There’s no griping. We start them at $10.50 per hour; once they get through the ‘starting protocol’ which is usually no more than three to four weeks we move them up to $13.50 per hour.

“We have a couple that have been with us through their high school days and even into college. We’ve got them at $15. Once out of school they’ll likely get into full-time jobs in our community but still want to do milking with us either before they go to work, or after their regular job is done,” said Schelling.

When asked about incentives to keep kids milking 120 cows twice a day, Schelling chuckled.

“We give them snacks,” he said. “When they compare minimum wages in town with McDonald’s or pizza parlors they’re pleased to be out here earning more money. And they seem to find milking cows an enjoyable chore.” ❖

REMODELING, EXPANSION OR REPLACEMENT

Minnesota Department of Agriculture Commissioner Dave Frederickson announced $2 million in grant funding being made available to livestock producers for on-farm improvements. The Livestock Investment Grants help farmers stay competitive and reinvest in their industry.

Recipients in 2014 include Katie Johnson of Kerkhoven, who is expanding her family’s dairy operation with a special calf care unit. The heifer barn also secures work at home in rural Kerkhoven and helps strengthen the family farm and town economy.

Qualifying producers are reimbursed 10 percent of the first $500,000 of investment, with a minimum investment of $4,000. Qualifying expenditures include the purchase, construction or improvement of buildings or facilities for the production of livestock, and the purchase of fencing as well as feeding and waste management equipment. Producers who suffered a loss due to a natural disaster or unintended consequence may also apply. The grant will not pay for livestock or land purchases or for the cost of debt refinancing.

The deadline to apply for the grant program is Dec. 10. You can apply on our new online grant application site here: http://goo.gl/4wYvZM. Read about the Minnesota Livestock Investment Program on the MDA website at www.mda.state.mn.us/livestockinvestmentgrant.

MIELKE, from pg. 29A increased competition in the retail segment as buyers become increasingly price sensitive. Interest for bulk butter is trending lower as less expensive international butter is psychologically putting buyers into a “wait and see” approach on purchases. Imports making their way into the U.S. Central manufacturer inventories are light to marginally growing.

Western manufacturers continue to run busy schedules for print butter. Retail demand is good as holiday orders are not completed. Recent price reductions are increasing interest from bulk butter customers, but bulk supplies remain tight. Export sales are very slow with international prices lower than the U.S. market.

■ Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed Friday at $1.3950 per pound, unchanged on the week. Three cars were sold in the spot market this week. NDPSR powder averaged $1.4422, down 7 cents, and dry whey averaged 66.75 cents, down 0.5 cent.

The preliminary September milk feed price ratio was up from the revised August level, according to the Agriculture Department’s latest Ag Prices report.

The September milk-feed price ratio is at 2.90, up from 2.61 in August, and compares to 1.88 in September 2013. The index is based on the current milk price in relationship to feed prices for a ration of 51 percent corn, 8 percent soybeans and 41 percent alfalfa hay, in other words, 1 pound of milk today can purchase 2.90 pounds of dairy feed containing that blend.

The September U.S. average all-milk price was $25.00 /cwt., up from $24.10 in August, and compares to $20.10 /cwt. in September 2013.

September corn, at $3.38 per bushel, was down 25 cents from August and $2.02 less than September 2013. Soybeans averaged $11.20 per bushel, down $1.20 from August, and $2.10 below September 2013, and alfalfa hay averaged $197 per ton, down $12 from July, but $3 per ton more than August 2013.

Looking at the cow side of the ledger; the report shows the preliminary September cull price for beef and dairy combined averaged $119.00 /cwt., down $2 /cwt. from August, but $35.10 /cwt. above September 2013. Prices received for milk cows was not available for August but averaged $1970 per head in July.

August 2014 milk production hit 16.2 billion pounds, according to USDA’s preliminary data, up 2.6 percent compared to a year ago. USDA’s latest Dairy Products report issued Thursday shows where it went.

■ Butter production totaled 131 million pounds, down 4.3 percent from July and 2.4 percent below August 2013, the largest July-to-August decline in butter production since 2009, according to the Daily Dairy Report. The Daily Dairy Report also points out that, “Although butter prices were quite high through August, cream prices were lofty enough to encourage butter manufacturers to sell cream to See MIELKE, pg. 31A

Expanding Lisbon Agreement could restrict food trade Because these restrictions on the use of registered names automatically kick in after a year, the revised Lisbon Agreement could cause immediate, multiple trade issues around the world concerning the protection of common food names, potentially leading to new restrictions on sales of generically named products in dozens of countries.

“There is a positive way forward on GIs,” said Castaneda. “There are ways

to protect the names of geographical specialty foods and beverages without impeding the rights to use generic food names. We urge WIPO to insist that Lisbon Agreement proponents go back to the drawing board to better balance these twin concerns.”

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Organization General Assembly Meeting, voicing concern about current proposals to expand the Lisbon Agreement, an international system for geographical indications that threatens to severely impede the global use of common names for many cheeses, meats, beverages and other foods.

The WIPO meeting preceded a more specific discussion of WIPO’s Lisbon Agreement proposal later this month by the countries that are signed on to the Agreement as well as interested observers. CCFN is one of the few organizations to whom WIPO has granted “observer status” in the Lisbon Agreement Working Group, which allows CCFN to make comments during the upcoming October proceedings. Officials from the U.S., Australian and New Zealand governments are among the other observers.

“The U.S. government, along with officials from Australia, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, New Zealand and Uruguay, among other countries, is working hard to protect the rights and interests of food producers around the world by crying foul to the proposed, flawed approach to the Lisbon Agreement now under discussion,” said CCFN Executive Director Jaime Castaneda.

“CCFN is joining in that chorus, because the agreement as currently drafted is overly broad and vague, and would not safeguard common food names used by countless food producers around the globe. Expansion of the Lisbon Agreement poses a high risk of violating existing trade commitments and posing significant economic costs on many nations.”

The Lisbon Agreement, first activated in 1966, is a voluntary system where countries within the pact add names that they would like protected to a general list, and other nations agree to protect those names. Only about 30 nations, the majority from Europe, have signed on.

To date the agreement has not dramatically impacted global trade due to its relatively limited membership and product scope. However, the proposed revisions to the program, which the WIPO group would like to finalize this month, would seek to dramatically expand the registration of common names (as illegitimate geograhical indications) across many more countries, thereby putting at greater risk the markets developed by many small food producers in developing countries and throughout the world.

MIELKE, from pg. 30A competing processors and reduce churn rates. Nonfat dry milk output, at 118 million pounds, was down 28.9 percent from July but up 11.6 percent from 2013.

American-type cheese output totaled 374 million pounds, down 1.3 percent from July and 2 percent below a year ago. Italian type, at 399 million pounds, was down 2.5 percent from July but 4.5 percent above a year ago.

Total cheese output in August amounted to 940 million pounds, down 1.7 percent from July and just 0.9 percent above a year ago.

This week’s Global Dairy Trade auction saw the weighted average for all products drop 7.3 percent, after being unchanged in the Sept. 16 event, and the 6 percent plunge in the Sept. 2 event. The price index has pretty much seen declines since reaching its high on Feb. 4.

All products offered saw losses, led by buttermilk powder, down 11.3 percent, following a 6.9 percent decline last time. Whole milk powder down 10 percent, following a 0.6 percent rise last time. Sweet whey powder was next, down 9.3 percent. It was not offered in the last event. Butter was down 6.6 percent, following a 2.5 percent decline last time. Skim milk powder was down 2.7 percent. It had inched up 0.9 percent last time. Rennet casein was off 1.4 percent, following a 1.3 percent loss last time, and Cheddar was down 1.2 percent today, following a 6.5 percent downfall last time.

FC Stone reports the average GDT butter price equated to about $1.1402 per pound. U.S., down from $1.2236 per pound in the Sept. 16 event. ($1.1124 per pound on 80 percent butterfat, down from $1.1937 per pound).

Contrast that to Chicago Mercantile Exchange butter which closed Friday at $2.88950 per pound. The GDT Cheddar cheese average was $1.3735 per pound U.S., down from $1.3959.

Gilby’s Fruit Company, Todd County, Minn.

he hills above Moran Brook are the perfect place to grow apples, according to Steve Gilbertson of Gilby’s Fruit Company, located between Browerville and Staples in Todd County, Minn. Steve and Darla Gilbertson started their 2,000-tree orchard in 2008 and began harvesting from the semi-dwarf trees a few years after that.

“We established the orchard with the proceeds from our nursery business,” Steve said.

The Gilbertsons sold nursery stock similar to what they planted: Zestar, Honeycrisp, and SweeTango. They also planted Chestnut Crab, a 1949 University of Minnesota release. The two-inch diameter apple is surprisingly sweet. Along with the Chestnut Crab they planted Sweet Sixteen and Snowsweet, a 2012 U of M introduction. Snowsweet is a cross between the Sharon and Connel Red varieties and has been described as having a sweet and almost buttery flavor. Most of the trees planted by the Gilbertsons are recent University of Minnesota releases, Steve said.

“We grow a few older varieties like Haralson and Haralred, but people really like the new varieties,” Steve said.

Harvest at Gilby’s starts in early September with Zestar and SweeTango and continues into mid-October when the Gilberstsons pick their Snowsweet.

“It’s good to have a mixture of early, mid-season, and late varieties. If something happens to one variety the others may make it,” Steve said. “During harvest I do the ladder work and Darla works from the ground.”

Steve said that their orchard is pretty much on the northern edge of good apple-growing country. Commercial apple orchards especially are rare as far north as Todd County, and wholesale orchards are even more unusual.

“What we don’t sell wholesale goes to the cattle,” Steve said. “A ripe apple has about 90 calories, sometimes more. I feed about 15 pounds per head per day.”

Angus-whiteface crosses enjoy apples as much as humans, it seems.

“I started by feeding them to the cattle whole but now I slice them up,” he said. “I invented my own apple-slicing machine.”

Gilby’s apples for humans go primarily to the other two orchards in the family. Both of them, Gilby’s Nursery and Orchard near Aitkin and Castle Rock Orchard near Farmington, are retail orchards with fruit stands and fall events.

Steve and Darla also raise pumpkins, squash, gourds and ornamental corn that they sell wholesale. They continue to sell apple trees such as Cortland, McIntosh and Honeycrisp in the spring as well. ❖

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

Bean harvest has gone so smoothly, Wilts said, that “we’re about caught up with what’s dry.”

Equipment and machinery have done their job, making it go “pretty good so far.”

Dennis Wilts Wilts said he could start bringing beets to the piler at 2 a.m. on Oct. 2. He planned on loading the trucks with beets the evening of Oct. 1. It will take an estimated two weeks to get the beets lifted. The crop “varied a lot,” which leads Wilts to believe that it “may be a below-average crop.” The beets yielded 12-24 tons per acre during pre-lift.

Beets and bean harvest most likely will be going on at the same time on the Wilts farms.

“If the weather stays nice we should be able to do both of them,” he said.

Wilts believes that his corn won’t be ready for harvest until mid-October.

“That’s behind,” said Wilts.

He usually begins corn harvest at the beginning of October, but he said this “warm weather is really helping the corn.”

As for this busy time of year known as harvest, Wilts said he “enjoys it.”

“It’s nice to bring some money in instead of paying bills all the time,” he said.

Seeing some green this time of year isn’t necessarily such a bad thing.

The Hoffmans New Ulm, Minn.

When The Land caught up with Don Hoffman on Oct. 1 he was chopping earlage — something he had never done before on his farm.

Don Hoffman There’s always a first time for everything and with lower corn prices and the added cost of drying the corn, Hoffman decided 2014 was the year to do earlage.

“It’s a painful process,” Hoffman said.

This was due to the 10-mile distance between the field and where the bagging was taking place. Hoffman said he is “making 200-foot bags of earlage.”

He finished with corn silage on Sept.

25 and reported that the chopping “went smooth, moisture was good, tonnage was good.”

As for the earlage, only time will tell if Hoffman does earlage again at his farm.

Early December, he will start feeding the earlage to the cows. If the cows like it, he said he’ll do it again and store it in a bunker instead of the bags. Hoffman said the earlage “looks like very nice feed.”

“I could even eat it without ranch dressing,” he joked.

Hoffman made some dietary changes for the cows and that seems to have improved milking.

The Hagens Lake Mills, Iowa

Soybean harvest is underway for Jim Hagen. The Land spoke with Hagen on Sept. 29 as he was waiting to get back in the combine Jim Hagen to continue harvest.

“I took 120 acres of beans off this weekend,” he said.

It was “foggy this morning, too damp” to be in the field, he said, but the beans have been “good” so far.

Harvest is about right on time, though he said “these are early beans;the rest aren’t ready yet.”

“Most of the rest of the beans will be ready next week,” said Hagen.

The same can’t be said for his brand new combine — he said he’s “getting a few bugs out.”

“Not one hour on the combine, the hydraulic pump blew,” said Hagen.

It was quickly fixed, however, and harvest resumed.

Hagen said he hoped to “try to do all the beans before starting corn.” He estimated that the corn is still at 25 percent moisture. He expects it will take two weeks to combine the beans, then he’ll start on the corn. Once the beans are off the field Hagen will put the fertilizer on.

The Hagen harvest crew includes Hagen’s father, Gordon, and a couple of guys that help out part-time.

Hagen understands that keeping “busy on beans, keeps you out of corn.”

Leaving the corn to dry down more will help the bottom line in the end.

That’s music to a farmer’s ears. ❖

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Things are in full harvest swing for Dennis Wilts. The Land spoke with him on Sept. 29 as he had already begun combining soybeans and was preparing for sugar beet harvest to begin Oct. 1.

As for how the beans are faring, Wilts said, “They vary a lot in yield.”

“We should end up with a pretty average crop,” he said. “It’s probably a little better than expected.”

The Thronsons ❖ Gary, Minn ❖ Norman-Mahnomen Counties

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

Jared Thronson has combined 160 acres of soybeans so far and while the beans may not be bin busters, the crop is “pretty good.” The Land Jared Thronson spoke with Thronson on Sept. 29 as he was taking a break from combining due to the tenth of an inch of rain that fell the night before.

The beans he’s harvested so far are averaging 30 bushels an acre. The bean ground “got pretty dry over the summer,” said Thronson.

“We’ll probably need a couple of days of sun to get going again,” he said.

Thronson hoped to take a sample of the beans after a few days and then restart combining Oct. 2 or 3.

As for corn, Thronson took a few cobs of corn from one of his fields; they were “pretty nice cobs.” The corn is dented and “coming along better than I thought,” he said.

“Still a chance we can get some or most of it off this fall.”

The harvest crew includes: Thronson; his dad, Lloyd, driving combine; and his mom, Vicki, driving grain cart.

His great uncle also is helping drive the grain cart.

Beans are Thronson’s top priority now, but corn will be combined soon.

He expects that there will be a “pretty good break after beans, about a month before we can combine corn.”

Thronson is glad harvest is underway and said he’s “happy about where we are.”

“The cows are starting to milk a little better in the past few weeks,” he said.

As for the soybean harvest, Hoffman has 50 acres of beans that his brothers combine. He said his brothers have taken some out, and that the beans “look kind of good.”

He knows that time is getting short to harvest the crops.

“The window to get things done is getting small,” said Hoffman.

On woody branches remove about two inches of the bark and split the ends with a knife so the solution can be readily absorbed. Place the stems in a jar of the glycerine solution to a depth of about five inches.

In about two weeks most foliage has absorbed as much of the solution as it will take and should be removed. Some leaves will retain their original colors and some will turn a gorgeous bronze shade. This solution can be saved and used again.

Pork is the world’s most widely eaten meat, representing 37 percent of all meat consumed, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Ag Service.

Some 81 percent of the population consumes pork in-home at least once in an average two-week period. As of May 2014, real per capita pork expenditures were up 7.5 percent for 2014 compared with the same time period a year ago.

making family meals a priority?

Did you know that the dinner table is the only place where a family sits 42 inches apart, face-to-face, and talks for 30 minutes to an hour? Relationships don’t happen at arm’s length. It takes place up close and personal, and what better place than at the table?

There are a thousand reasons why regular family meals are not realistic in today’s society, and one reason why we should do it anyway. It’s the only way your family is going to make it. The path to emotional and physical health for our children, and ultimately our world, takes place one shared meal at a time.

The research is clear. Gather people at your table. Whether it’s mom’s recipe or cheater crusts, meals matter.

Grilling season is coming to an end but National Pork Month is just beginning.

October became known as Pork Month because it marked the time of year when hogs were traditionally marketed. Today, it serves as a celebration to thank pork producers and share their stories with consumers. In 2008, pork producers adopted six “We Care” ethical principles at the National Pork Industry Forum. The pork industry follows the six guiding ethical principles of the We Care initiative to maintain a safe, high-quality pork supply.

Producers are committed to: producing safe food; safeguarding natural resources in all industry practices; providing a work environment that is safe and consistent with the industry’s

Did you know that 80 percent of North Americans feel that it is hard to find the time to eat together regularly?

Cook Brazilian: Kale, coconuts, beans and bananas Cookbook Corner

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent A recent trip to the enchanting — and huge! — country of Brazil was the chance of a lifetime for me to sample a whole new cuisine. Brazil is almost as large as the United States, and it’s very warm, and it’s full of equally warm, goodlooking people who love to relax over a long meal with friends and family. Regional differences abound, and markets are full of all sorts of exotic fruits and vegetables to tempt the inner foodie.

All in all, Brazil was a gastronomic delight.

I picked up a couple of used Brazilian cookbooks online — in English — when I arrived home, because the ones for sale in Brazil itself were all in Portuguese, the official language.

Although I now know the Portuguese words for “thank you,” “sorry,” “oops!” and “I don’t speak Portuguese,” I did not pick up enough of the language in two weeks to venture into cooking territory. Wouldn’t want to poison someone.

■ Here are some things I learned: “Couve” is a simple yet perfect recipe for cooking kale that can be served alongside (or underneath) just about any type of

The Johnson clan gives four out of four ‘yums’ to Feijao Branco entree. No need for any fancy seasonings or equipment; just slice it up super fine and sauté in a little olive oil. Kale may be a trendy green in America right now, but to Brazilians it’s nothing new. Overcooking is a no-no for maximizing the flavor and nutrition.

Kale (Couve) Serves 10 “The Brazilian cook rolls the couve leaves like a long, tight cigar. The needlelike ribbons are perfectly shaped as she slices down the rolled greens.”

1 1⁄2 pounds young kale, washed and dried 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste Fold the kale leaves in half lengthwise and cut away the stems and inner ribs. Pile about five or six leaves on top of one another, folded in half length-

wise. Starting at the top and cutting across the leaves, julienne the leaves in needle-thin strips.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.

Add the kale, season with salt and pepper, and toss. Cook just short of the wilting point. It should retain its color and remain slightly crisp.

■ Of course tropical countries usually have their share of coconuts, and Brazil is no exception. This sun-loving tree grows in a wide belt along the equator and its fruit travels exceptionally well, so that even chilly Minnesotans can enjoy a fresh coconut now and then. (Not so with many softer fruits that cannot be transported more than a few dozen miles from the Brazilian farm.

Names in English don’t exist for these fruits, yet they are among the most intoxicatingly delicious in the world. Makes me want to weep a little.)

Chocolate Coconut Kisses (Beijos de Coco com Chocolate) 2 cups grated fresh coconut (about 1 coconut) 1⁄2 cup sugar 1/3 cup seedless raisins 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the coconut, sugar and raisins and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until the sugar is melted. Remove from the heat and cool. When the mixture is cool enough to handle, form it into balls about the size of a whole walnut and place them on a lightly oiled cookie sheet.

Place the chocolate in the top part of a double boiler and melt the chocolate over medium heat.

Using a teaspoon, cover the coconut balls with the melted chocolate. Cool and serve.

White beans delicious, versatile part of a menu COOKBOOK, from pg. 4B flavors, although we Americans are particularly unimaginative in the banana department and generally stick to a single variety, the Cavendish.

Brazilians embrace bananas in all their glorious guises, from the supersweet fingerlings hung in bunches in their kitchens to the starchy plantains that must be cooked before eating. Here they treat bananas more like a fried potato or yam, coating them simply in breadcrumbs and a sprinkling of salt.

Fried Bananas (Banana Frita) 6 small bananas, peeled

1 large egg, beaten 1 cup fine bread crumbs 1⁄2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter Salt to taste In a mixing bowl, gently toss the bananas with the egg to moisten, then lightly roll the bananas in the bread crumbs. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

When the foam subsides, add the bananas and fry on all sides until golden. Season with salt and serve hot.

■ I think it’s marvelous that some type of dried bean can be found in almost every global diet you can think of. No matter

where you are, even if you don’t recognize any other menu items, you can usually spot a nice cheap plate of rice and beans and feel like you’re in safe and familiar territory; only the seasonings change, and there’s no iffy bits of meatish things swimming around your plate, those chewy oddments that are likely to revisit you later in a bad way.

But I digress. These white beans may be Brazilian but they belong on America’s menu as well, because they are delicious, versatile and worth four out of four “yums” from the Johnson clan.

The secret? All those fresh aromatics like onion, garlic and fresh herbs.

White Beans (Feijao Branco) 1⁄2 pound white or navy beans, washed and picked clean 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 small onion, chopped 1 garlic cloved, chopped 1 sprig fresh thyme 1 medium tomato, peeled, seeded and chopped 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley 2 tablespoons chopped scallions, green part only Salt and freshly ground pepper Tabasco sauce or malagueta pepper oil, to taste

Soak the beans overnight with water to cover by several inches. Drain the beans and place them in a large soup kettle with fresh water to cover by two inches.

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and skim off any foam or impurities.

Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes, stirring from time to time so the beans do not stick to the kettle.

In a sauté pan, add the olive oil and place over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent. Add the tomato and cook another 4 minutes.

Add the tomato mixture to the beans.

When the beans are soft and tender, add the parsley and scallions, and season them with salt, pepper, and Tabasco sauce or malagueta pepper oil, to taste. Remove the beans with a slotted spoon to serve.

Tips on storing tender bulbs Temperatures have begun to dip, the leaves have turned colors, and the number of days before the ground begins to freeze are numbered. Soon it will be time to dig up your tender bulbs such as dahlias, gladiolus, caladiums, canna and calla lilies and store them indoors for winter. If not dug up and stored in the proper manner, these plants’ tender bulbs will not survive the cold Minnesota winter. A tender bulb refers to plants that have a fleshy storage structure such as a bulb, corm, tuber, or root.

The general rule of thumb is to dig your tender bulbs out of your gardens after the foliage begins to dry up or is killed by frost. Once the timing is right: • Carefully dig up the tender bulbs.

Use a fork or spade to gently loosen the roots several inches away from the plant’s base. Typically it works best to loosen the soil on all sides of the plant before attempting to lift up the clump.

It is important to avoid cutting, breaking, or “skinning” the fleshy material.

If damage is done, it makes the structure more susceptible to disease or rot.

• Clean the tender bulb. Most plants need a gentle wash, however gladiolus corms store best if left unwashed and simply let dry out and dust off any soil before

putting in storage. Old gladiolus corms and cormlets should be removed at this time.

• Curing the tender bulbs. Curing time varies depending on species.

• Inspect for Pests. Before storing away, thoroughly inspect the materials for any signs of insects or disease.

Lightly dust with an insecticide-fungicide according to the product’s label.

• Label and store tender bulbs.

• Freesia, gladioulus, oxalis, and tigridia should be stored at 35 to 40 F. • Cannas, dahlias, and glory lily should be stored at 40 to 50 F. • Tuberous begonia, caladium, and calla lily should be stored at 50 to 55 F. • Periodically inspect. Check the tender bulbs throughout the winter to ensure there are no signs of rot.

Remove any material that shows signs before the entire stock are lost.

Storing tender bulbs can be a bit of a chore, but a cost saving effort that will add an array of gorgeous flowers to your gardens.
