If you ran your farm or ranch like the White House and Congress run the federal government, your corn would never get planted and your cows would be long gone.

Of course, if you ran your farm or ranch anywhere near the level of — what? — the scornful divisiveness and FARM & FOOD FILE almost pure reactionary politics that now guide Congress

By Alan Guebert and the White House you wouldn’t be ranching or farming today. You’d be long gone like the corn and the cows. Long, long gone.

But here we all are — you, me, Congress, the President — someplace in between “No!” and “Hell, no!” and now we’re fighting it out on one of the nation’s biggest, most intractable problems: immigration reform.

Crazy, right? Well, no.

In fact, there’s no shortage of workable immigration ideas already packaged and partly approved.

First there’s the sweeping, bipartisan Senate deal from June 2013, where 14 Republicans (including doctrinaire conservatives such as Florida’s Marco Rubio, Utah’s Orrin Hatch and New Hampshire’s Kelly Ayotte) joined Democratic and Independent colleagues to pass immigration reform by a lopsided 68-32 margin. (Links to source material are posted at http://farmandfoodfile.com/in-the-news/.)

Unlike the White House’s recent announcement of executive actions that so offended Congress’s GOP leaders, the Senate bill contains a winding, 13-year path to U.S. citizenship for current illegals and would require stiff security tests for any immigrant to receive the key to legal employment, a green card.

Then there’s the incendiary White House action that uses the President’s executive authority to, as Wall Street Journal reports, “shield as many as five million illegal immigrants from deportation and offer them a chance for work permits, while overhauling the enforcement system and boosting border security…”

Both approaches — the left- and right-handed Senate approach and the heavy-handed White House approach — is, at some level, pretty much what immigration reformers say the United States has long needed: a way to at least “legalize” the work these “illegals” workers perform; more border security to limit illegal immigration; and a simple recognition that we are not going to deport the 11 million illegals already here.

Indeed, we can’t deport the 11 million illegals here because we’re too cheap. For years, Congress has appropriated only enough money to find, process and deport “some 400,000 … or less 4 percent” per year of the illegals living in the United States, according to Stephen Legomsky, the former chief counsel in charge of immigration for the Department of Homeland Security.

Given that tiny, not-growing budget, he notes,

Letter: ‘Save the family farm’ failed To the Editor: I am a small farmer in central Minnesota. (The Land staff writer) Dick Hagen wrote a kind article about my farm after a brief conversation at the 2014 Organic Conference. I am writing in response to Alan Guebert’s Oct. 31 opinion piece titled, “Ag economists slam farm bill for immense subsidies,” and Hagen’s Nov. 7 opinion piece titled, “Entitlements cloud our future.” Both were excellent and courageous.

I am not politically active. After the 2012 election, I decided to spend the rest of my years raising meat.

Spending my energy doing something that I know is productive. I have some familiarity with government involvement in agriculture since the early 1950s.

I have not participated in farm programs since the early 1980s. Government programs have been and continue to be terribly destructive. Not just destructive of farmers and farms but in recent decades

incredibly destructive to soils and land.

The evidence is as clear as it could possibly be. Programs to “save the family farm” have been a total failure. In fact, those programs have probably had a strong negative effect on the number of farms.

Hagen’s article on entitlements is good, but farmers are now an “entitled” class also. I get frequent email communications from a variety of farm organizations. More than half of the articles are about how to affect or benefit from farm programs. Not about how to farm. Not about how to build soil or care for animals. Not about how to be a better farmer.

I admire Hagen and Guebert’s courage in even bringing these topics up to farmers in your magazine when farmers themselves are a protected and entitled class.

Tom Barthel Becker, Minn.

OPINION

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

Food industry needs legal workers GUEBERT, from pg. 3A “legal” guest-worker program, the H-2A, won’t solve the problem. Employers complain it is confusing, bureaucratic and to be avoided.

That leads to more illegal hiring of more illegal immigrants.

The fix to this all-but certain future is plain: our political leaders need to do what we hired them to do

— lead. Enough already with the showdowns, shutdowns and putdowns. Initiate, negotiate, legislate.

Fix it. Now. Alan Guebert’s “Farm and Food File” is published weekly in more than 70 newspapers in North America. Contact him at agcomm@farmandfoodfile.com.

Letter: Farmers lose profits on mega crop production To the Editor: Here we go with another season of agribusiness giants telling us how we need to maximize production with their special brands of seeds and fertilizers. Does this make any sense to you? Not to me, it doesn’t. As I understand the situation, the reason corn is worth less money this year than it was last year is because farmers raised too much corn. So my question

is how will raising even more corn next year solve the problem?

As farmers we are told the population is growing, there are more mouths to feed. So then why are we punished with lower prices when we do raise more food?

Think about the people that have entered farming in the past few years.

OPINION

THE LAND, DECEMBER 5, 2014

To the Editor: For once I agree with some of what (The Land staff writer) Dick Hagen writes, that civilizations fall. I would disagree with the timeline of 200 years. Most historians would argue that the usual timeline is 300 years. We should hope that 300 years is correct because if we agree that the start of America was 1776, 200 years would put us 40 years overdue while 300 years would give us approximately 50 years left.

Historians are also pretty much in agreement that falls were not caused by external pressures, but internal corruption and misplaced military actions such as Vietnam and Iraq. Rome didn’t fall because its Social Security payments were too high. Rome fell because there was no Social Security. The poor paid all of the taxes while the rich paid none. The generals walked away with the loot from the various wars

So we do what we can. We show up ... with food. It’s what Midwestern types do.

When a father of two young girls from our local GEMS Girls’ Club — see www.gemsgc.org — died, some of the small group leaders showed up at their front door with food. Initially there was awkwardness. The girls weren’t home and we didn’t know their mother well, nor did she know us.

Pat broke the silence and said, “When we don’t know what to do or say, we bring food.” She’s right.

Food is the universal love language that says we care.

Food is also one of the primary reasons that I don’t show up more. When people are sick and suffering, my mind jumps to meals. I don’t have any bread in the freezer or casserole ingredients in the pantry. Do I show up empty handed? Scandalous!

Anne Lamott said, “People don’t need as many casseroles as you think.” She’s right. When people are hurting being is more important than bringing.

Loving presence trumps lovely platters. Showing up matters.

Since Mike’s accident, we’ve received generous gifts of soup, casseroles, breads, and sweets. It inspires me to more faithfully follow in the footsteps of those kind cooks. We also had people show up empty handed, and there was nothing scandalous about it.

They gave precious, intangible gifts of their time, a listening ear, stories, laughter and some tears too. I long to be better at giving like this too.

The thing about showing up is that the harder the hurt behind that door, the more difficult it can be to go and knock on it. Justin Taylor writes, “At times like these, there really are no words, but there is the Word. There is no manual, but there is Emmanuel.”

Emmanuel (which means “God with us”) is always present — never leaving or forsaking us.

Cookbook collects recipes from farmers worldwide Cookbook Corner

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent Minnesota farm wife Lorraine Brown had the golden opportunity to travel around the world with her husband, Glen, while he was a U.S. representative on the World Ploughing Organization Board for more than 30 years.

This group was organized in the 1950s in England (hence the alternative spelling) to promote the art and science of plowing. Each year a different country would host a plowing contest, and on these trips the Browns met farmers and their wives from around the globe, gathering up recipes along the way for a published collection.

Plowing contestants from countries as diverse as Australia, Zimbabwe, Ireland, Spain, Hungary, Italy, Morocco and New Zealand offered their favorite recipes, proving that no matter where you go, farmers are hearty and appreciative eaters. The secret to these moist and succulent Carrot Bars is the ultrasmooth puree of the baby food carrots.

An easy cream cheese frosting completes this decadent picture.

Carrot Bars Submitted by Lorraine Brown, U.S.A. 4 eggs 2 cups sugar 1 1⁄2 cup vegetable oil 2 cups flour 1⁄2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons baking soda 2 teaspoons cinnamon 2 jars baby food carrots Beat eggs and add the rest of the ingredients. Put in a large pan (12x15”). Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes.

■ Here’s an Aussie version of meatloaf that utilizes the stovetop rather than the oven – and makes a savory, oniony gravy to boot. While it was more of a tender hamburger–type thing rather than a true American-style meatloaf, it was still delicious, especially that

gravy … mmm-mmm good. Extra points are awarded for kitchen creativity. Four out of four “yums up” from the Johnson family!

Fry Pan Meatloaf Submitted by Sil Garoni, Australia 1 pound minced steak (hamburger) 1 pound ground sausage Salt and pepper to season 1 packet French onion soup 3 cups water plus 1⁄4 cup extra 2 tablespoons flour Chopped fresh chives or parsley for garnish Combine minced steak and sausage and season with salt and pepper. Mix well until meats are thoroughly combined. Place meat mixture into a large fry pan and form into a thick, round patty. Cut into eight wedges.

Combine soup mix with 3 cups water and pour over meat. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer slowly for about 45 minutes. Remove wedges from pan; place on serving plate and keep warm. Blend extra 1⁄4 cup water with flour until smooth; add to pan.

Stir until sauce boils and thickens.

Spoon sauce over meat and sprinkle with chopped chives or parsley.

Safety in leftovers

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

The first step in safe leftovers is preparing and cooking the food safely. Was a food thermometer used to ensure the turkey and stuffing reached 165 F? After dinner, cooling food correctly is important to prevent foodborne illness as bacteria grow rapidly at room temperature. Leftover hot food should be refrigerated within two hours to minimize time spent in the danger zone of 40-140 F. Have shallow containers and refrigerator space to cool remaining turkey and sides quickly. Remove legs and wings to help cool. The refrigerator should be 40 F or below.

Properly roasted turkey can safely be eaten cold from the refrigerator or reheated. Bring gravies to a rolling boil. Leftovers should be reheated to 165 F. Use a food thermometer. As a general rule, leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for three to four days or frozen and eaten within four months.

For more information, call (888) 674-6854, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Meat & Poultry Hotline.

USDA announces grants aimed at diversifying American agriculture U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced $9.7 million in grants to 62 community-based and non-profit organizations, and educational institutions to conduct training, outreach and technical assistance for socially disadvantaged (including tribal) and veteran farmers

and ranchers.

These awards are distributed through the Outreach and Assistance to Socially Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers and Veteran Farmers and Ranchers Program, also known as the “2501 Pro-

gram.”

Vilsack made the announcement at the 2014 White House Tribal Nations Conference, a gathering of leaders from the country’s 566 federally recognized Tribes. The 2501 Program primarily partners with Historically Black Land Grant Universities (1890 Land Grant Institutions), Native American Land Grant Tribal Colleges and Universities (1994 Land Grant Institutions), Hispanic-Serving Institutions of higher education, and community-based and nonprofit organizations that work with minority and veteran farmers and ranchers.

The 2501 Program has distributed more than $66 million to 250 partners since 2010. The 2014 farm bill reauthorized the program and expanded assistance to include military veterans. The program is administered by the USDA’s Office of Advocacy and Outreach.

Of the announced grants, 31 (50 percent) will support efforts in states participating in USDA’s StrikeForce for Rural Growth and Opportunity Initiative, an effort to direct USDA support and services to underserved rural areas experiencing chronic poverty. Twenty-five (39 percent) of the grants will go to partnerships directly targeting veterans interested in farming and are part of USDA’s enhanced commitment to expanding services to veterans in agriculture. Twelve grants (20 percent) will directly benefit tribal and native communities.

This year’s awards will be distributed in 34 states, Puerto Rico and the Federated States of Micronesia and are part of USDA’s efforts to support new and beginning farmers.

By RENAE B. VANDER SCHAAF The Land Correspondent Darkness was descending fast, a cool breeze was blowing Oct. 16. The day had already been filled with farm chores and work, whether at the veterinary clinic, at home, grocery store or any other livelihood they pursued.

All that was forgotten. Now it was time to begin a work project that would benefit families in the Bethel Christian Reformed Church of Sioux Center, Iowa, and a cattle feeder near Royal, Iowa.

For the past five years, members of the congregation have been donning work boots and gloves, getting dirty, dusty and stinky. Working shoulder-toshoulder, they physically assist dairy and cattle farmers who need large silage or earlage piles covered with plastic and tires.

“These are practically impossible to do alone or with just a few people,”

Crew gets dirty, toils nightly to complete job SILAGE, from pg. 15A church members who have children in the local Christian schools.

In the past, Christensen has relied on high school students and members of the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity at Iowa State University. Once Christensen had the earlage pile prepared, tires cleaned and ready, plastic twine cut as the tires needed tying together, it was time for the church work crew to come.

“Each situation is different,” said Wade Vanden Berg of Sioux Center.

“There is a bit of planning that goes into each pile so that the proper amount of machinery and manpower is at each pile.”

It’s not unusual to use pay loaders, loader tractors and telehandlers donated from church members.

The church work crew grabs and hauls tires to the silage piles, where they are tied together and secured to the tarp.

The tires keep the tarp from blowing off the silage pile.

Covering the silage reduces spoilage until it is needed to feed the cattle on Royal Beef and Christensen Feed Lot.

The work project brings together the whole church. Young and old show up to help. Members bake bars and cookies or make sandwiches. Members work behind the scenes to organize each trip and church bus drivers transport workers.

“There were a couple weeks this fall, where we had a pile almost every night,” said Vanden Berg. “And even a Saturday morning. It gets to be a very busy season, but it is also a short season. The farmers have a lot of money invested in the piles and like them covered as soon as the chopping crews are

done. We do our best to get there and get the job done.”

Time, effort and coordination are required to pull off one of these work projects smoothly. For instance, manpower is needed, the more the better; a few of the bigger piles require 80-plus people, Vanden Berg said.

“It’s much more personal than just giving money. There’s the laughter and kidding around with fellow church members. In that camaraderie and sense of accomplishment that you feel See SILAGE, pg. 17A

Ranch gathers family, music, bygone farm ways

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent Robert and Elaine Mohn host a Country Christmas Gathering at their Prairie Heritage Ranch.

It is not a typical ranch, being situated in southwestern Minnesota between Marshall and Cottonwood.

Much of it has not yet been realized as Robert Mohn pictures it.

“I had always kind of dreamed of living on a ranch,” he said. “I decided to make our place into a ranch.”

Mohn’s vision is not that of a cattle ranch, but of a place for family and the community to gather.

Some years back Mohn went through difficult times. He had a grass seed business, and high commodity prices led to cultivation of grassland, cutting into the business.

In addition, he sold his farmland, except for the building site, to pay off a bad business decision.

Mohn also had physical problems.

“I lost energy,” he said. Exams showed he had a defective heart valve. “I was so far gone they said my heart was down to 10 percent operational.”

Robert Mohn is transforming his 13-acre farm site into a circa 1890s farmstead called Prairie Heritage Ranch in rural Green Valley, Minn. With his wife, Elaine, they host Country Christmas Gathering.

Richard Siemers

In 2006, he had open heart surgery to replace the valve and get a triple

bypass.

For a long time he had been thinking about providing a gathering place where folks could enjoy music and time together.

“I had eight hours to pray about it when I was waiting for surgery,” he said. “I told God if I made it through the surgery, I would come home and start doing this project. I didn’t have a real plan, but I just said I would come home and have some music.”

Labor of love The Mohns have a 13-acre building site. The first two to three years after surgery he wasn’t that strong, so he worked at cleaning up the place and the grove. All that work was good exercise, and as his health improved, he started to tackle the buildings.

“I’m in better shape than when I was 30,” said Mohn, who is now 63.

Mohn and his two sons are rebuilding the grass seed business, and he plans to purchase land back someday.

The older son harvests the seed in South Dakota, which Mohn brings back to his place just north of Green Valley and cleans. His younger son operates Green Valley Seed, handling the sales. The Mohns also have a daughter, who is a missionary.

Since Prairie Heritage Ranch is a labor of love, Mohn is not concerned that his vision is far from complete. He

works at it mostly by himself, and the seed business has to come first. He has also spent time getting materials from old buildings that have been donated to him. The old material fits with the goal of a farm site with an 1890s era look.

He isn’t dreaming small. He wants to turn the barn into a kind of bunkhouse where folks can stay and food is served. He has a spot cleared for a horse arena because he has nursed some rescued horses back to health.

Another old building, he will convert to a pavilion where folks can assemble to watch the horses or dance to live music.

In line with the 1890s look, he has a collection of horse-drawn equipment, and envisions a work horse museum along with field demonstrations. He also plans to plant an orchard where visitors can pick apples during the September Heritage Harvest Gathering.

“I enjoy the work,” he said. “It’ll never get done because when I get something completed, I’ll just think of something else.”

This year was the fourth for the Heritage Harvest Gathering. The weekend event featured bands playing gospel, bluegrass, polkas —“old time music” as Mohn calls it. There was picking corn See RANCH, pg. 19A

Mohn working on dream to create old-time fun events â&#x20AC;&#x153;I considered myself a Christian before surgery, but now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m much more dedicated to helping others,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to encourage people.

Cold weather raises grain storage drying questions North Dakota State University Grain Storage Specialist Ken Hellevang shared some information related to questions asked about handling wet corn that has been harvested and put in storage at cold temperatures. Here’s an excerpt of a discussion with Hellevang.

Q: What is the best management strategy for running aeration fans on bins to cool grain without freezing the bin?

Hellevang: The kernels will not freeze together if the corn moisture content is below 24 percent; and should flow normally. The acceptable moisture content decreases with more foreign material in the corn. I recommend that corn moisture be less than 24 percent to hold it until outdoor temperatures are above freezing and at or below 21 percent to hold corn until spring.

Some people are recommending that wet corn not be cooled below freezing because ice crystals will form in the void spaces between the corn with the moisture coming from the corn. I am not aware of this being a problem, again based on extensive experience.

Frosting will occur when moist air comes in contact with a surface that is below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

It typically occurs when air from warm corn comes in contact with a cold bin roof and roof vent during aeration. It can occur with corn at temperatures below freezing when warmer air comes through the cold corn. This could occur if the corn at the top of the bin was cold and warm air from corn below is moved through the cold corn as the bin is cooled using aeration. Normally this will occur only in a shallow layer of corn at the top of the bin and only for a period of time until that corn has been warmed by the warm aeration air coming from the warm corn. The amount of frost accumulation expected in the corn increases as the corn gets colder and layer of corn gets thicker. Since corn is a good insulator, the cold layer is normally expected to be fairly thin and the warm aeration air removes the frost.

If the corn is warmer than the bin steel, condensation in the form of frost will occur on the bin roof and bin vents. The rapid drop in outdoor temperature makes this very likely. Running fans with frostplugged or iced-over roof vents can result in serious bin damage.

Cover story: Barn dance honors ‘golden’ couple

See BARN DANCE, pg. 22A

THE LAND, DECEMBER 5, 2014

By RENAE B. VANDER SCHAAF The Land Correspondent JACKSON, Minn. — It was an evening to remember. The end of a perfect summer day. The kind of day one dreams about this time of year — sunshine, warmth, but not too hot or humid; a slight, gentle breeze. Yes, that fourth Saturday in August, was perfect for an old-fashioned barn dance.

Dave and Sandee Svoboda capitalized on the idea of celebrating their golden anniversary with a dance, but not just any place or dance would do.

Recalling the bit they knew of the family’s history, they decided it would be a bit more special to make the Wilhelm barn come alive again, if only for this special night.

Once agreed on, plans were made for

Traditional handbills made

BARN DANCE, from pg. 21A a traditional barn dance, complete with a polka dance band, straw bales, lanterns and food.

“My grandfather Henry Wilhelm built the barn in 1924, obviously for livestock and storing hay,” Dave said. “He also put in a special floor for hosting barn dances.”

The farm was often referred to as Joe Wilhelm’s, a son of Henry.

For four years, 1925 through 1928, the Wilhelm farm place filled up with Ford Model Ts, Dodge Touring automobiles, and probably a horse and buggy or two for the Sunday night dances. They began the first Sunday after Easter and continued to the last Sunday in September. Dave estimates that 97 dances were held.

The family put a lot of effort into planning these dances. They secured dance orchestras from across the Midwest. Handbills were posted announcing the next dance. The Svoboda family still has a few of the original handbills from which they had copies made.

Those were displayed in the barn along with an original “No Smoking” sign from 1925.

In keeping with tradition, handbills were made announcing Dave and Sandee’s anniversary dance.

Wally Pikal provided evening’s entertainment include a house built in 1885, which was added to in 1908. When Dave’s grandfather built a corn crib in 1898, he was told by a neighbor that is was too big. There was no way the 205-acre farm could produce enough corn to fill it, the neighbor said.

That same year the corn crib was built, Henry Wilhelm’s brother Ed also built a Wisconsin-style barn. It was built of wood held together with wooden

pegs. Located across the road from the tile barn, it, too, still stands true.

The enchanted August evening was indeed a special night for all at Dave and Sandee’s wedding anniversary barn dance. The Svobodas and all who attended enjoyed the fun night on the farm.

They settled down on another farm site amidst Wilhelm farming relatives.

Working together on their cattle and grain farm, the couple occasionally took time off to attend dances at Fox Lake Ballroom in Sherburn or the nearby Sioux Valley Log Cabin Ballroom.

Sandee was as comfortable driving any farm machinery as cooking a hearty meal for their three children — Doyle, Dave and Pam. Doyle continues to farm with his parents.

For this golden anniversary celebration, they chose Minnesota celebrity Wally Pikal and his band to provide the music. Pikal plays any music but rock ’n’ roll. He is a master of many musical instruments, but it was his talent with the trumpet that gained him national attention. Pikal could play not one, not two, but three trumpets all at the same time. At age 87, he still manages to play two trumpets simultaneously.

Many of the guests walking to the barn were side-tracked. The 1931 Model A coupe’s rumble seat started many conversations. The Svodobas restored the auto to perfect condition.

A hay loader from the 1930s brought back a few memories for many. A wooden Rock Island Special running gear purchased in 1911 by Dave’s great uncle now serves as the base for a wagon.

The building is a Wisconsin-style barn, a rarity in this area, Dave explained. With this barn, a farmer would drive the team of horses into the haymow with a load of loose hay. The hay carrier would pick up the hay from the wagon delivering it east or west, dropping it where it would be stored for winter feeding.

Built of tile and mortar, the barn still stands tall and straight.

There was room for milking 40 dairy cows by hand. The Wilhelms milked Holstein cows. A chimney was included when building the barn for a woodburning stove. Dave isn’t sure how the chimney and stove were used or why it was there.

“I wished I had asked my mom and uncles more questions,” he said. “There are a lot of things I wonder about now.”

Fifty years strong Sandee Zebedee grew up on a farm on the east side of Jackson, Minn. Her sister Marge was dating Chuck Svoboda, Dave’s brother. Before Chuck left to serve in active duty in the National Guard, he told Dave about Sandee. By the time he returned, the couple were making wedding plans for Aug. 1, 1964.

There is also a Santa collection, a display related to the book “A Cup of Christmas Tea,” and a set of shelves with a postal theme, which recall Clarence’s time as a mail carrier and a postmaster.

Although it wouldn’t be the holiday season without a bit of excess, just a little thoughtful effort and imagination can keep the celebration high and the environmental impact low.

1. A real tree can be a more sustainable option than an artificial tree. Because the latter is often made from petroleum products, when discarded, an artificial tree ends up in a landfill, where the plastic content makes it last forever. A real tree, on the other hand, can be turned into mulch, which protects plantings and returns the tree to Mother Earth.

2. Instead of a large cut tree, consider a smaller, A real tree can be live potted tree. turned into Depending on your mulch, which procircumstances, you may be able to tects plantings reuse the tree for and returns the two or three years tree to Mother without having to Earth. plant it or re-pot it.

Once it gets too tall or too heavy for indoor use at the holidays, plant it outside.

3. In a household where someone suffers from allergies or asthma, an artificial tree may be a better choice because it doesn’t have the allergens of a real tree. To insure a longer life for this type of tree, follow the tree manufacturer’s instructions for removing dirt and dust. Invest in a storage bag or bin so that the tree can be stored in a dust-free environment.

4. When doing your holiday shopping, take along some canvas tote bags so you can leave the paper and plastic shopping bags in the store.

5. Switch from standard holiday lights to new, longer-lasting, lower-energy-use LED. Check with your local city public utilities or county recycling program to find out how to recycle old strings of holiday lights. There are programs that remove and recycle the copper, glass and plastic these lights contain.

6. Stock up on cleaning supplies so you don’t run out during the busy holiday season. Take advantage of the concentrated products that are on the market.

It’s the greener alternative because a little bit of product goes a long way and you’re using less packaging while getting more cleaning power.

7. Some of the best gifts don’t come from a store.

Consider gift certificates redeemable for activities that draw on your talents, time or energy — like cooking a meal, cleaning the car inside and out, organizing the garage, or doing the laundry once a week for several months. Busy moms and dads, as well as older relatives who have more than enough “stuff,” will be particularly appreciative.

8. Wrap green. Avoid foil or metallic wrapping papers, as they are difficult to recycle. Look for ecofriendly gift wrap made from recycled paper. When unwrapping large gifts, save the paper for reuse; it can often be cut down for smaller presents. Creased wrapping paper can be ironed flat. And if you keep the use of adhesive tape to a minimum, more of the wrapping paper will be reusable.

watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.

This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.”

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and yours, from everyone at The Land

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored!

The Lord is with you.”

Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.”

“How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”

The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God.” “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it be to me as you have said.” Then the angel left her.

At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!”

And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me — holy is his name.

His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble.

He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, even as he said to our fathers.”

Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, 31 who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread A the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.

But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise him, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he had been conceived. When the time of their purification according to the Law of Moses had been completed, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”), and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”

Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.

Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts.

When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you now dismiss your servant in peace. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all people, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel.”

The child’s father and mother marveled at what was said about him. Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: “This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.”

There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, and then was a widow until she was 84. She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying. Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.

When Joseph and Mary had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth. And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

went to his own town to register.

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

Lark Toys, Kellogg, Minn.

iny Kellogg, Minn., just south of Wabasha, is home to one of the 10-best toy shops in the United States, according to Reader’s Digest. It’s also the best toy shop in Minnesota, according to WCCO-TV. But you don’t have to take their word. Go with your kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews or neighbor kids. Or all by yourself.

Lark Toys has perched on a hill, in a nondescript brown building, above Highway 61 for the last quarter century. It started with lovely handmade wooden toys crafted for the Kreofsky family children. Those wooden toys are still made by Lark and available for sale in the store, which has mushroomed to 20,000 square feet of delight for children, parents, grandparents and anybody with a child still lurking somewhere in their soul.

Just in case you have no need for marbles, puzzles, books, bath and beach toys, dragons, costumes, brightly polished rocks, toy trains, puppets, dolls, stuffed animals, chemistry sets, toy tractors and airplanes, lunch buckets, masks, a teepee, and, oh you get the idea, you or your young friend can just sit down at the childsized tables and play.

You can choo-choo on the wooden toy train a bit or conquer Greenland with the Viking helmets and masks like the two seven-year-olds we saw did.

Bored? Go visit the hand-carved 15-foot Stegosaurus in her jungle cave or chat up the friendly river monster that decided to live in the toy store because he likes children.

We went to Lark Toys without intending to buy anything. But the place made us so happy, we bought a cute wooden rabbit on wheels and two secret items that only Santa knows about. In case you don’t want to shop for toys you can visit the toy museum called Memory Lane. Beware! If you, like us, are of a certain age you may be shocked to discover toys from your childhood in the museum. A museum!

“My God! That’s my dollhouse in that display,” gasped one pretty silver-haired visitor.

If you do suffer such a shock you can take a ride on a carousel populated with deer, dragons, horses, swans, giraffes and loons all hand-carved by Lark’s artisan wood carvers.

That’ll show ’em you’re still a kid at heart. ❖

Grain Outlook Higher one day, lower the next

Livestock Angles Markets are a battleground

Grain Angles Eight cash flow drivers

The following market analysis is for the week ending Nov. 28.

CORN — The holiday-shortened trading week had something for everyone — higher one day, lower the next. Firm cash markets lent an air of support as well as spillover strength from the soybean pit for most of the week. Corn traded in the middle of the trading range of the last two weeks.

The Congressional Budget Office confirmed the accuracy of “leaked” preliminary acreage forecasts for next year. They expect 2015 corn acreage to fall by 900,000 acres to 90 million PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. acres from this year’s 90.9 milSt. Paul lion planted acres. CBO is projecting 2015-16 carryout at 2.017 billion bushels. The 201516 average on-farm price for corn is $2.48 per bushel, down only 2 cents from this year.

These numbers will be tweaked before the official release in early February. I think the market was just looking for something to talk about when the numbers were made public. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is projecting 2014 net farm income at $96.9 billion, a decrease of 21 percent from 2013 and the lowest net income since 2010.

Weekly export sales were delayed until Friday due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Corn sales were better than expected at 37.2 million bushels, bringing the cumulative total for the year to 981.5 million bushels. The USDA is pegging this year’s exports at 1.75 billion bushels.

The livestock markets are a battleground between supply and demand. The funny thing is that the cattle and hog markets are just the opposite in their supply and demand ratios. The cattle are dealing with short supplies, while the hogs are faced with expanding supplies. On the demand side, beef is shrinking and pork is expanding mainly due to the price difference to the consumer. These battles will eventually change the direction of both the cattle and hog markets.

The struggle continues in the cattle market as the tight immediate supplies of cattle continue to force the packer to remain JOE TEALE aggressive in accumulating Broker inventory to fill the slaughter Great Plains Commodity needs. This has continued to keep Afton, Minn. finished prices near or at all-time highs. To compensate the packer has diligently tried to force the beef cutout prices higher to offset the high cost of production. As this is taking place more and more resistance has emerged by the retailer to the higher wholesale prices. Thus the demand for beef is contracting along with the supply of cattle.

At some point the supply-demand equation will be at parity and the high for cattle will emerge. Currently the cattle market appears to be getting closer to that point as the prices paid for live inventory seems to be fluctuating back and forth at these higher prices. For the first time in quite some time the Futures market has failed to make a new monthly high and closed lower for the month. Therefore, producers should approach the market with a

Although it’s impossible to precisely predict what will happen to margins in the grain industry, it is apparent that industry projections point toward compressed margins. Today’s compressed margin environment will push crop farmers to make improvements to cash flow drivers. We all know agriculture is a cyclical business that is becoming increasingly competitive. I’d like to highlight eight drivers that significantly impact cash flows of grain producers that may help you identify ways to make improvements on your farm.

1) Commodity Prices: We can’t control the market prices, but we can manage risk by lock- KURT LENSING ing in prices. For example, if you AgStar Assistant VP plan to plant more soybeans next and Industry Specialist Waite Park, Minn. year due to lower corn prices, have you protected a portion of your expected increased soybean production from further price decline? Farmers assume market risk by not selling just the same as if they sell everything at once. A written risk management plan can be very simple and does not have to involve complex contracts you do not understand.

2) Yields: This one gets a lot of attention since everyone knows increasing yields will lower the cost of production on all bushels. The hardest part is managing inputs to find the most profitable yield goal.

3) Land Rents: Property taxes seem to be increasing and farmers projected returns are mostly negative. This will be an area of great concern but must be addressed since it is typically the single largest expense.

See NYSTROM, pg. 7B

See TEALE, pg. 7B

See LENSING, pg. 7B

Information in the above columns is the writer’s opinion. It is no way guaranteed and should not be interpreted as buy/sell advice. Futures trading always involves a certain degree of risk.

South American weather conducive to planting when many traders were on holiday, net meal sales cancellations, nonthreatening South American weather, and a strong U.S. dollar may all have contributed to the post-holiday sell-off. If January beans break the $9.95-$10.00 area of support, the next support level is $9.60 per bushel; resistance continues at $10.55 per bushel.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ended Nov. 21: Chicago December wheat rallied 25 cents, Minneapolis was up 24 1⁄4 cents, Kansas City surged 33 cents higher. Wheat strength stemmed from chatter that Russia may restrict exports through new regulations. January crude oil plummeted $10.36 per barrel to close at $66.15 after hitting its lowest level since May 2000 at $65.69 per barrel. ULSD closed the week 22 cents lower, RBOB dropped 22 1⁄2 cents and natural gas tumbled 33 cents. OPEC’s decision to leave their production quota unchanged at 30 million barrels per day sent energies plunging in post-Thanksgiving trading. ❖

MARKETING

Demand expands

LENSING, from pg. 6B 4) Other Operating Costs: The most profitable producers typically are good at controlling, not only the big three expenses, land, seed, and fertilizer but also all other expenses. Some farms have benchmarked themselves against their peers to help identify where improvements can be made.

5) Living Draws: This is an expense that sometimes gets overlooked, but, like in any business, controlling what and how much the owner withdraws is an area that some may be willing to adjust.

6) Income taxes: What are the implications of spending versus paying taxes?

7) Capital Spending: Have we made capital expenditures that can carry us through a couple years? Do we have non-productive assets on our balance sheet?

8) Finance Structure: This is an area that we can help you identify options that are tailored toward your farm. You may want to rebalance debt to help improve working capital and cash flow.

Improving your risk management plans, costs and yields are all areas to consider. Rebalancing how your debt is structured is also important. Regardless of your financial position and cash flow, it’s essential for you and your lender to understand what your current and future goals are. If you are looking to expand your farm for a future generation, considering retirement in coming years or just looking to maintain your farming operation for years to come; these goals will likely impact how you choose to control your cash flow drivers. As always having a vision for your future goals will likely have an impact on how you make important decisions today.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

TEALE, from pg. 6B bit more caution and protect inventories when warranted.

The hog market is just the opposite of the cattle market. Demand for pork product appears to be expanding along with the number of hogs. The porcine epidemic diarrhea virus looks as if it has run its course for the time being and production is on the increase.

Because of the wide discrepancy between beef and pork, retailers are appearing to feature more pork than beef. This is bolstering the demand for pork simply because of price. So far this has not changed the hog market from a price decline. However, as the supply and demand picture closes in on equilibrium, the live price for hogs should begin to stabilize.

Now that winter is on the doorstep, weather will also become a factor in the price disposition of the overall market. Cold and winter storms could disrupt marketing and provide short term spikes in the market.

The CBO will update their numbers in January and World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates will update their 2015-16 balance sheets Feb. 20.

South American weather has been conducive to planting and development. Brazil’s bean crop was estimated at 85 percent planted through Nov. 30.

Argentina’s bean planting is 45 percent complete as their focus has switched from corn planting.

Argentina’s corn planting is estimated at 41 percent complete, where it will likely remain until midDecember when bean planting is expected to wrap up.

Weekly soybean export sales were delayed until after Thanksgiving, coming in at 54.6 million bushels and better than expected. Meal sales were net cancellations of 22.3 tmt, but weekly meal shipments were a record high.

The spread of bird flu is beginning to catch the market’s eye relating to meal demand. A wild duck in Germany was found to have the flu and on death was reported in Egypt.

OUTLOOK: Weaker freight values, both rail and barge, and slow producer selling kept a basis bid under the market as board prices for the complex ended the week on a soft note.

NYSTROM, from pg. 6B France loaded a cargo of feed wheat for South Korea this week, their first major shipment to that destination since the 1988-89 crop year. A total of 232 thousand metric tons of sorghum was sold to unknown destinations this week. This may be a short-term situation as China signed a phytosanitary agreement with Argentina this week that approves Argentina’s sorghum for import.

Weekly ethanol production was a record 982,000 barrels per day, up 12,000 barrels per day from the previous week. Despite record production, ethanol stocks were down by 1.5 percent to 17 million barrels. Since the beginning of the marketing year on Sept. 1, production has averaged at an annualized corn grind of 5.195 billion bushels versus the USDA forecast for 5.150 billion bushels.

In an interesting move, the Federal Aviation Administration is planning rules for drone operation. Mandates could include operators of drones would have to be licensed pilots. This could limit the use of drones in the agricultural sector or at least slow their implementation.

OUTLOOK: U.S. corn harvest was 94 percent complete as of Nov. 23. The states with the most bushels left to harvest are Wisconsin with 135 million bushels and Michigan with 112 million bushels.

Major states Illinois and Iowa each have about 100 million bushels left to harvest with Minnesota at 50 million bushels. Seasonally, March corn has advanced from now until Dec. 23 in eight of the last 10 years, although not always in a straight uptrend.

March corn closed 3 1⁄2 cents higher for the week at $3.88 3⁄4 per bushel with $4.00 seen as resistance and $3.60 per bushel as support. The USDA will release updated balance sheets on Dec. 10. Neither acreage nor yield will be adjusted on the December report. The next Farm Service Agency certified acreage report will be released on Dec. 15.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans got off to a slow start, but found their legs for a sharp move higher on Tuesday when the CBO released estimates for the 201516 crop. That gain was wiped out in post-Thanksgiving trading, sending January soybeans to a 23 cent loss for the week. It closed the week out at $10.16, near the $9.95/$10.00 support area.

A report from the CBO indicates next year’s soybean planted acreage will be down 2 million acres from this year’s 84.2 million acres. Carryout for 2015-16 is pegged at 395 million bushels, 55 million bushels lower than this year’s 450 million bushels ending stocks. The push higher from the CBO figures wasn’t enough for that buying to carry through since common opinion is for soybean acreage to be higher next year. The CBO’s average on-farm soybean price is projected to fall $1.08 to $8.92 per bushel.

percent from September and 35.9 million pounds or 4 percent below a year ago. If the preliminary data is correct, this is the first month that the total cheese inventory has fallen below 1 billion pounds since November 2013.

HighGround Dairy’s Eric Meyer points out that “The days of sharply lower cheese and butter stocks in the United States is nearing conclusion.

Though the numbers continue to lag behind the prior year, they are quickly

catching up. And on a month-to-month basis, the drawdown between September and October was light, particularly for butter.”

“Butter inventories remain sharply behind the lofty numbers from 2013 but when looking at the seasonal rise and fall of stocks from this year, it looks surprisingly flat,” he said.

MIELKE, from pg. 8B stocks only declined by 54.5 million pounds while that number in 2013 was 140.1 million against a 10year average of 89.4 million. It was the slowest decline since 2011.

Record high prices have likely begun having an effect on domestic fat demand, imported butterfat is reaching the U.S. shores at an increased rate and more cream is likely working its way into the churn as demand for cream into ice cream production begins to back up.

Looking at cheese, Meyer reports that October Natural American cheese stocks saw monthly declines right at the 10-year average but were the slowest percentage decline since 2010. And all three cheese categories were at their smallest percentages behind 2013 since January.

Checking the price front for the holiday-shortened three day week, cash block cheese closed Wednesday at $1.6825 per pound, down 4.75 cents on the week, 19.75 cents below a year ago, and the lowest price since July 17, 2013. The barrels closed at $1.6475, down 9.25 cents on the week and 13 cents below a year ago. Only one car of block traded hands on the week and one of barrel. The National Dairy Products Sales Report-surveyed U.S. average block price averaged $2.1334, down 7.9 cents, and the barrels averaged $2.0928, down 5.8 cents.

■ Cheese production is comfortably meeting active sales demand focused on holiday retail buyers, as well as food service customers, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Dairy Market News.

Milk is adequate, and in some areas there is surplus milk available. Most manufacturers do not have inventory concerns. Plant schedules this week were mixed, with some cheese plants maintaining generally full schedules while other plants adjusted production for downtime.

Cash butter topped $2 per pound Monday but dropped 3 cents on Tuesday and closed Wednesday at $1.97 per pound, down 7 cents on the week but still 32 cents above a year ago. Six cars traded hands in the three days. NDPSR butter averaged $1.9953, down a half-cent.

Butter manufacturers were busily filling orders to ensure shipment deadlines for Thanksgiving, according to Dairy Market News. Many plants were running schedules at or near capacity levels. However, they are conscious of keeping inventory levels in check as some anticipate weaker prices in the coming weeks. Cream tightened as Class II manufacturers are pulling stronger on cream supplies. Domestic butter interest is strong in both the retail and food service segments. Demand for bulk butter is moderate, while prices range from 3 cents under to 6 cents over market, with various time frames and averages used. The market tone is steady.

tions, according to CWT. ■ The preliminary November milk feed price ratio was down from the revised October level, according to the USDA’s latest Ag Prices report. The November milk-feed price ratio is at 2.80, down from 2.91 in October, 2.97 in September, but compares to 2.27 in November 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 2.8 pounds of dairy feed containing that blend.

The November U.S. average all-milk price was $23.40 per hundredweight, down $1.50 from $24.90 in October, but compares to $21.60 in November 2013 (+$1.80).

November corn, at $3.57 per bushel, was up a penny from October but 80 cents less than November 2013. Soybeans averaged $10.10 per bushel, up 13 cents from October, but $2.60 below November 2013. Alfalfa hay averaged $184 per ton, down $10 from October, and $4 per ton below November 2013.

seeing steady to marginal increases in production. Demand is light. Dry buttermilk prices continue to decline. The market is growing weaker, as holiday production climbs and buyer interest remains stagnant. The dry whey market tone is weakening, as export markets pressure prices lower. Holiday cheese volumes are encouraging whey production. Inventories are mixed.

Reduced dairy product purchases from China are in stark contrast to the strength those purchases produced a year ago, resulting in record high U.S. cheese and butter prices. Exports have plummeted and the Russian embargo didn’t help matters any.

The U.S. farmer-funded Cooperatives Working Together accepted two requests for export assistance this week from Dairy Farmers of America and Tillamook County Creamery Association to sell 47,179 pounds of Cheddar cheese in Asia and the Middle East. The product will be delivered in December.

Year-to-date, CWT has assisted member cooperatives in selling 99.150 million pounds of cheese, 53.591 million pounds of butter and 56.729 million pounds of whole milk powder to 45 countries on six continents. These sales are the equivalent of 2.535 billion pounds of milk on a milkfat basis.

beyond the seasonal low point with volumes above year ago levels, according to Dairy Market News. Milk prices received by farmers are maintaining a fair margin and encourage milk production. Some producers, who are facing super levees for being over quota, are taking steps to reduce milk production.

Manufacturers of cream-based products are very active, preparing for the year-end holiday surge in demand.

Increased troop movements in the Ukraine have weighed on financial markets and weakened the Euro, which has resulted in some increased export interest for dairy products.

Eastern European milk production has moved beyond the seasonal low point, but remains strong compared to last year. Cream, raw milk, and some manufactured dairy products are being shipped into Belarus in unknown volumes.

Winter care for livestock ST. CLOUD, Minn. — Whether we were ready or not, winter has blown in upon us. Snow, ice, and below freezing temperatures can mean big challenges for livestock producers. Knowing the best way to care for your animals during the winter will ensure they stay happy, healthy, and safe.

The first element of winter livestock care many people consider is shelter.

Although most animals can stand wind chills above 20 F, without stress, they need protection from cold rains, wet snow, and wind. Natural protection and windbreaks may be adequate in some situations, but the best option is a three-sided shed opening away from prevailing winds.

<< MILKER’S MESSAGE >>

Courtland 12 SHARP

Any shelter should have enough room to allow every animal inside, and have clean, dry bedding that is changed regularly. Keep in mind that most livestock do not want to be inside all of the time, and they will actively seek out shelter when conditions are adverse. In addition to a shed, consider the availability of other cover in the cow yard or pasture such as hills, thickets of trees, and windbreaks.

An often overlooked factor of shelter is ventilation. Our instinct is to keep shelters sealed up tight in order to keep them warmer, but as I said before, animals can stand colder temperatures than we can. It is important that no See WINTER CARE, pg. 13B

WINTER CARE, from pg. 12B matter where they are, there is good air flow. Especially with the amount of dust that can get into the air from bedding. Stuffy, dusty air can lead to respiratory and other problems. An easy way to check if your livestock have good ventilation is to look at them, and listen. If they appear to be breathing heavily, or are coughing, that may be a sign that the ventilation is poor. Consult your veterinarian if you think there is a respiratory issue.

Besides shelter, another major component of winter care is nutrition. Animals use a lot more energy in the winter months to keep themselves warm, so some farmers find it beneficial to increase the energy density of the feed. Besides energy, consider the amount of fiber in the diet. Fermentation of fiber releases energy that helps heat the body. Good quality grass hay or alfalfa can be an effective way to encourage body heat production. It’s less expensive than just increasing the amount of grain fed for energy.

Don’t forget the minerals in winter. Whether you have cattle, horses, sheep, or goats, make sure you still have a mineral lick, tub, or crumbles available but protected from the elements.

When thinking about feed, you should also be thinking about water. Just like any other time of the year, your animals require clean, fresh drinking water.

Although your livestock can get some of their water from eating snow, keep in mind that, depending on species, your animals will need three to 14, or more, gallons of water each day. Many farmers find heated waterers to be the most convenient as they keep water from freezing. If you don’t have a heated waterer, you should be bringing fresh water — around 40 F — to your livestock several times a day to encourage adequate water consumption.

Although you manage snow in the winter months, don’t forget to manage the mud, as there will be some.

Besides the possibility of making your livestock dirty and/or wet, standing in mud can also cause problems like hoof rot. Solutions include laying down gravel or wood chips, moving animals to another location or creating a sacrifice area in a well-drained spot.

Be sure you are watching the health of your livestock closely, as winter can be very stressful on an animal’s body. Pregnant animals especially require a watchful eye. If you have any concerns about the health of your animals, contact your veterinarian.

Whether or not we were ready for winter, it has arrived. By paying close attention to your livestock’s shelter, nutrition, water, environment, and health, you will ensure that your animals will make it through our coldest months happy, healthy, and safe.

If you have any questions about winter care for livestock, you can contact the Stearns County Extension Office at (320) 225-6169, Benton County Extension Office at (320) 968-5077, or Morrison County Extension Office at (320) 632-0161.
