Practical, responsible GUEBERT, from pg. 4A federal crop insurance back to “its roots” and become what it was originally designed to be — a risk management strategy for farmers “to protect themselves against a bad year,” not a program to eliminate nearly all risk while guaranteeing a profit.

Congress, LSP explains, “should fully develop” and fully fund “whole farm crop insurance” that promotes more “resource-conserving, integrated diversified farms” and make the policies accessible “to beginning farmers.”

The program needs to use “conservation outcomes as a key measure” and stop insuring high yields “on marginal, low-yielding crop ground.”

Also, suggests LSP, Congress should stop allowing farmers to “move

yields” from good fields to “more fragile land” to gain higher “revenue assurance.”

None of these ideas are radical; most, in fact, are practical, responsible and just make good sense. As such — and because it’s the nation’s money that underwrites almost all crop insurance — Congress needs to reexamine their 2014 farm bill handiwork.

The groundwork is done and the question remains: Why are taxpayers insuring elephants?

OPINION

‘Winter in the Northland’ HAGEN, from pg. 2A on this touchy issue later.

With Christmas and the birthday celebration of our Lord Jesus now at hand, my wife and I extend greetings and the very best for 2015. Yes, agriculture will be slipping and sliding a bit more next year because margins are getting squeezed. The reality is that we’ll lose a few producers. And don’t count on the new farm bill to throw out life savers for farmers — 80 percent of this 1,600page document is devoted to food aid.

Quoting Abraham Lincoln: “You cannot help people permanently by doing for them what they could and should be doing for themselves.” So my only suggestion is to live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly and leave the rest to God. A friend, Bob Robertson, thought his poem might get us into the proper winter mood. He calls it “Winter in the Northland.” Some of us will give it a try.

Winter is a time of pain, one nearly almost goes insane.

It is a battle to survive, to keep feet warm and stay alive.

The wind, the sleet, the snow, the ice… we dream of someplace warm and nice.

To live here now is terrible, so what can make it bearable?

The thing that now we really need would be okay with most any Swede.

A big, hot plate of lutefisk, would spare my life from further risk.

The ecstasy, the sheer delight when soaked in butter makes it just right.

Some folks might tend to disagree, but if so foolish they will be.

Their life will likely stay so glum. To me it’s mostly just plain dumb To not enjoy the pure delight of lutefisk on a subzero night.

Drone pilot collects crop surveillance imagery This year (drone surveillance was showing) hundreds of wet spots and identifying precisely how many acres were lost to drown-out. ...

This is useful info for changes, especially tile drainage but even conservation practices.

— Kyle VanOverbeke exactly what the images are displaying. This was to be a 24-hour process, however, because of slow internet speeds we instead are putting this info on a “jump drive” and sending it by mail to Farm Intelligence.

Q: Any crashes so far?

VanOverbeke: Five times so far this season, and that’s usually on landing. The bird’s wing catches a soybean

plant, or a corn plant, somersaults or whatever. But a quick repair job and we’re soon airborne.

Q: Who’s buying into UAVs for farming?

VanOverbeke: Younger farmers who’ve grown up with GPS technology and larger farmers who simply need a drone to scout their fields.

Especially if they are renting new ground and don’t have a good working knowledge of the landscape. They want to click into their Wingscan website and see how this farm is performing throughout the growing season, field by field.

Q: What are your images showing?

VanOverbeke: This year it was the hundreds of wet spots and identifying precisely how many acres were lost to drown-out. This tells a particular customer, for example, that 83 percent of what he planted actually emerged.

span and is about two feet long. One battery charge is 50-minutes flight time. And that’s enough to fly a quarter section (160 acres).

Q: What’s your flight pattern?

VanOverbeke: Our first flight is at 200 feet (elevation) and this is shortly after emergence so we can photograph the precise emergence of your fields, right down to the square foot and even the individual corn plant.

Subsequent flights are at 400 feet. We set up GPS coordinates for each field. I launch the bird; after that it’s on its own flight pattern for that particular field. We can fly in winds up to 20 mph.

Great maneuverability in these little birds.

Q: Who downloads the info from the hundreds of images captured by the tiny camera on that UAV? VanOverbeke: I download the UAV once we land; then upload it to “the cloud.” That gets it to Farm Intelligence at Mankato. This outfit does the downloading and either electronically delivers the latest batch of info from that particular flight directly to the customer, or to one of our 212 Seed guys who then contacts that particular customer and goes over in detail

THE LAND, DECEMBER 19, 2014

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer As unmanned aerial vehicles make headlines, The Land interviewed Kyle VanOverbeke, drone pilot for 212 Seed & Ag, a Pioneer Seed distributor in Renville County, Minn.

Q: How did you get involved with the UAV world?

VanOverbeke: Phil Smith of 212 Seed and Pioneer Seed called me asking if I’d be interested in being their “drone pilot.” Yes, I responded, so they sent me to a two-day training course in April with Farm Intelligence at Mankato. That outfit is into the total program of UAVs in agriculture so this was a great start for me.

Q: Where has your bird flown this first year?

VanOverbeke: Just Renville County so far and mainly with 212 Seed customers, but this custom service is available to other farmers as well. We’re providing eight flights per season for each customer and this year we’re doing 9,500 acres.

Q: What’s your bird called?

VanOverbeke: It’s a 4th Wing Verio.

Commercial drone-use regulations

The Federal Aviation Agency is charged with writing rules for the use of drones for commercial use by September 2015, according to National Public Radio.

The Associated Press reported from St. Paul that

Minnesota lawmakers are being urged to set rules for UAVs as well. Drones are already being used in Minnesota to monitor crops, but a lack of concrete regulation in the state and federal level combined with drones’ growing use has prompted peopole in the industry to call for safety and personal privacy safeguards.

—Marie Wood

UAV images make ‘clear mosaic’ of fields PILOT, from pg. 7A tion practices. It also gives an accurate showing of germination failures plant by plant.

Q: What is the cost for this service?

VanOverbeke: For the eight-flight package it’s $14 per acre. Most seem good with the info provided. This year we’re just flying one bird. Future pretty much depends on customer demand. When the season is all wrapped up and farmers see all the information provided, I think there could be a strong demand next season by lots more farmers.

Q: How much detail is there in these aerial photos?

VanOverbeke: About 1,400 images are recorded when doing a quarter-section flight. These images are stitched together to make one clear mosaic of that entire field and eventually your entire farm if we work enough fields. When you zoom in on that picture you can see each individual plant in the row.

Our first flight after crops have emerged is at 200 feet elevation and we’ll capture about 3,000 pictures.

When those images are stitched together you can see to the square foot, each plant in fact. Even the lug marks from the tractor tire show up.

The Land interviewed VanOverbeke at Farmfest. ❖

Software critical to making UAV data meaningful developing a system where a highlevel reconnaissance of the field identifies problems; then a smaller UAV capturing high resolution images of individual weeds will identify more specifically what’s going on in that field.

At this stage of a very young industry, costs of drones will vary widely based on supply and demand for the time being. Kaiser suggested pricing will be more of an issue in software, especially photo stitching packages.

The real value of a UAV system comes in having a software package that can properly assemble the photos so that you are viewing actual conditions on each square inch of that map, Kaiser said.

UAV surveillance pinpoints insect damage to crops UAV, from pg. 9A Insect damage Ian MacRae, of the University of Minnesota Department of Entomology, displayed an eight-propeller UAV at the Extension tent at Farmfest in

August. The Octocopter is used to gather remote sensing of insect damage of various crops.

“We’ve got a project that looks at root damage in sugar beets; another exploring the soybean aphid; another viewing corn leaf damage,” said MacRae.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

We’re not actually looking for the insect.

We’re looking at the plant’s response to hosting different quantities of the aphid.

Ian MacRae The Octocopter uses different cameras recording low-level infrared images, as well as a dedicated infrared camera for more precise images.

“We’re using these three different cameras on this unit to identify and characterize insect damage from the reflected data and the visible data. We’re flying over our plots generally no more than 200 feet elevation. That’s why the rotor-based vehicle — for the stability it provides when shooting hundreds of images in a matter of just a few minutes.”

Eight motors on this rig takes more battery push and thus the lesser field coverage when doing multiple insect scouting on the same parcel.

“Theoretically, this bird could likely do about a quarter section on a single battery charge. But because we are doing plot work, our imagery covers a much smaller ground space but with many targets within that plot. About 20 minutes is our run time,” said MacRae. Evem though soybean aphids feed on the bottom side of the leaf, a UAV can decipher the incidence.

“We’re not actually looking for the insect. We’re looking at the plant’s response to hosting different quantities of the aphid. As plants are stressed what you see is a decrease in the reflection of nearinfrared and upper-red wavelengths of light.

“These cameras document this data so we can decipher how many aphids to initiate damage and what stage of life are they when doing their damage.

That’s the game,” MacRae said.

By analyzing the data, researchers may find better ways to stop infestations.

“Because soybean aphids under the right weather and temperature conditions can be so explosive, the more we learn about the feeding habits of these critters, the quicker and smarter our use of proper pesticides to curtail damage before it becomes economic,” said MacRae. ❖

Cover story: Farmer wins stray voltage law suit The Norman family first complained to their electrical cooperative almost 20 years before they filed suit against them, according to their lawyer Jeremy Stevens of the Rochester lawfirm Bird, Jacobsen & Stevens.

“In the early 90s, the Normans called Crow Wing Power because they were having some problems with their lights,” Stevens said. “They came out and did some stray voltage tests and told the Normans that it was some old fluorescent lights that were the problem. We don’t know what they actually found but that’s what they put in a report and told the Normans.”

As the problem not only continued

but also worsened, the Normans again asked their cooperative to help them detect and solve the problem. Crow Wing Power sent their experts to test voltage that the dairy cows were experiencing when they came in contact with conductive surfaces.

“Crow Wing Power came out and found two to four milliamps on some of the waterers, which is significant,” Stevens said. “The power quality manager, a guy by the name of Pat Goff, wrote Norman a letter telling him that their testing showed voltage to be within acceptable limits. Acceptable limits are well below that. What was in that letter was not true.”

For standards to define acceptable

limits the utilities rely on a document called the Red Book, according to Stevens. Studies in the Red Book show that as low as two milliamps cow contact can affect dairy cows, he said.

Stevens said the problem was fairly evident. An antiquated underground electrical wire called a bare concentric neutral provided electrical service to the Norman farm.

“These are lines with the conductor insulated,” Stevens said. “On the outside is the neutral, which is a series of smaller wires that’s wrapped around the insulation but is not insulated

THE LAND, DECEMBER 19, 2014

By TIM KING The Land Correspondent ROCHESTER, Minn. — The most recent in a series of regional law suits favoring farmers in stray voltage cases resulted in a $6.4 million jury verdict.

The suit, titled Randall and Peggy Norman vs. Crow Wing Cooperative Power and Light Company, was tried to a jury in Minnesota District Court in Walker in Cass County.

According to court documents the Norman family had operated a dairy farm near Pine River in Cass County since 1981. Their electrical supplier was the member-owned Crow Wing Cooperative Power and Light Company in Brainerd.

Power co-op likely to appeal; no money received yet VOLTAGE, from pg. 11A itself. The purpose of neutral is to carry current back to the substation.”

These types of lines haven’t been installed since 1987, according to Stevens. The primary reason for that is because the uninsulated neutral, or return, wire tends to corrode. That is especially true when they are in soils that are high or low in pH. “Electricity has to return to the substation,” Stevens said. “Electricity will take all paths, but more so the path of least resistance. The problem is that as the uninsulated wires begin to corrode the resistance increases. The electricity will then take a less resistant path to return to the substation.

Dairy farms often are a less resistant path because of their very nature of high moisture and significant metal.

That’s what this case was about.”

Dairy farms can offer a lower resistant path than corroded wires and dairy cows are sensitive to the current that travels through the earth, water pipes and other conductive pathways.

The result often manifests itself as low water consumption, reduced feed

This was a family farm and two of the Norman boys would have liked to operate the farm with mom and dad and eventually take over the farm. I think the jury put a value on what this family farm lost.

— Jeremy Stevens consumption, reduced milk production, sickness, suppressed immune function and sometimes death.

Following protocol In the face of these problems Randy Norman continued to try to work with his cooperative. After numerous attempts to work with cooperative officials he decided to talk to the board of directors.

“Randy attended two board meetings. He told them he was willing to pay to replace the line,” Stevens said.

“At the last meeting they put him on a timer and cut him off once the time was up. This utility, like most utilities, has a policy that if you want a line upgrade they will do it at your expense. At that time he had funding

and was willing to pay to replace the line. They never had a good answer as to why they wouldn’t do it.”

At one point Crow Wing Power did replace the line from the road to the farm, a few hundred feet. It was another unjacketed primary concentric neutral line. They didn’t replace the main electrical service line. That line was causing the stray voltage.

“They have yet to fix the line that runs all along the farm on the road,” Stevens said.

Last resort After his meetings with the Board of Directors, Norman decided to contact a lawyer. But before he contacted the Stevens firm the Cooperative had already geared up for litigation. They

had brought in two litigation experts and their lawyers according to Stevens.

In 2012, after exhausting all efforts with the Crow Wing Power, Randy Norman sued his uncooperative cooperative. Unfortunately a few months later he was forced to sell his entire herd.

“This was a family farm and two of the Norman boys would have liked to operate the farm with mom and dad and eventually take over the farm,” Stevens said. “I think the jury put a value on what this family farm lost.”

In late October 2014 a jury awarded the Normans $4.8 million economic loss and $1.5 million for nuisance damages.

“Nuisance is the loss of the use and enjoyment of the property,” Stevens said.

As of late November the Normans hadn’t seen any of the verdict money nor has the line been fixed.

“I expect they will appeal,” Stevens said. “In the meantime we will be asking the judge to order Crow Wing Power to replace the line so that this farm can be safe for dairy cows.” ❖

The EPA says ‘We’re not trying to change (the Clean Water Act). We are just trying to define this.’ Would the Farm Bureau have fought this hard against a clarification? No, this is an expansion.

THE LAND, DECEMBER 19, 2014

By MARIE WOOD The Land Associate Editor NORTH MANKATO, Minn. — Puddles, ponds, ditches and small streams and trickles in your fields could be regulated under the Clean Water Act if the Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers’ proposed Waters of the United States rule goes through.

“If it’s a ditch, they have to regulate it as much as the Great Lakes,” said Don Parrish, American Farm Bureau Federation senior director of regulatory relations.

Based on extensive study of the 371-page rule, Parrish warned farmers that the rule is a “land grab” that will put regulation of all waters Don Parrish under the Clean Water Act, which will result in regulating land use. The American Farm Bureau is requesting that the EPA withdraw WOTUS. “Land use issues are better left to the state,” said Parrish. “There’s a fundamental difference of opinion of whether this has to be federalized or stay at the local levels.”

Parrish made a strong case for the withdrawal of WOTUS to an auditorium of farmers and students at the 32nd Annual Rural Legislative Forum at the South Central College in North Mankato, Minn., in December.

“The EPA says ‘We’re not trying to change (the Clean Water Act). We are just trying to define this.’

Would the Farm Bureau have fought this hard against a clarification? No, this is an expansion,” said Parrish.

The Clean Water Act, passed in 1972 gives the EPA the jurisdiction to regulate navigable waters, such as the Great Lakes and Mississippi River, as well as waters that have a significant connection to interstate waters. According to the EPA, WOTUS is designed to define and clarify waters, wetlands and streams that should be protected under the Clean Water Act. It will expand waters protected by the CWA — especially upstream waters critical to downstream quality.

The rule was written to clear up confusion as to when streams and wetlands are protected by the CWA. Supreme Court cases in 2001 and 2006 muddied the issue.

Parrish said WOTUS is not what Congress and two Supreme Court decisions intended in the drafting and interpretation of the CWA. Parrish cautions that WOTUS would expand the EPA’s jurisdiction into waters that could include farm ditches and ephemerals (small streams caused by heavy rains) in fields.

According to Parrish, the language in WOTUS establishes a hydrological connection from intermittent water and ditches to navigable waters.

“The proposal gets to the point that you can regulate any connections,” said Parrish.

In order to fix the problem in his field, a farmer may be required to get multiple permits from federal agencies. Should a farmer want to add nutrients, spray pesticides or plow, Parrish said it’s not likely that the EPA will give a farmer a permit. Now the

Formo: Permit uncertainties are biggest challenge WATERS, from pg. 13A farmer can’t use the land, said Parrish.

“I think we can all be for clean water. This isn’t about clean water. This proposal is about how we use the land,” said Parrish.

Parrish said the rule leaves too much to interpretation, which will create major liabilities for farmers.

“There’s a lot of differences between what the agency says and what is written in black and white in the proposal,” said Parrish. “We think if you read the details of the proposal, if we can read it to be as expansive as it is, the courts will read it that way.”

The National Farmers Union did not ask for withdrawal of the rule, but in public comment requested that EPA exclude ditches that don’t have a permanent flow, those that do not connect to wetlands, floodlands or other waterways, and other revisions.

The EPA published WOTUS in April and expanded its comment period twice, closing on Nov. 14, after 700,000 comments had been filed.

Response panel A panel of experts on Minnesota water quality and agriculture helped shed light on water quality and regulation at state and local levels. In Minnesota, water quality is regulated by as many as 10 to 12 agencies and most farmers work through those

channels when doing projects in their fields.

Warren Formo, executive director of Minnesota AG Water Resource Center, said the biggest challenges of WOTUS are uncertainties about permit requirements.

“The tremendous amount of confusion, interpretations and controversy among farmers has rendered it ineffective as a clarification,” said Formo. “Farmers want to achieve water quality goals. This is not how we get there.”

Lawrence Sukalski, a Martin County, Minn., farmer and member of the American Soybean Association Board, has received conservation awards for his land use practices. Having been involved in water meetings for 10 years, he has witnessed water quality regulations interpreted differently from county to county.

“That’s why we need clarity on CWA jurisdiction.

Give us something simple that’s going to be interpreted the same way all over,” said Sukalski.

Blue Earth County, the Association of Minnesota Counties and the National Association of Counties have submitted public comments against WOTUS. In a letter, Blue Earth County asked for a hold to be placed on WOTUS and for the rule to be vetted more fully. Counties have concerns about its impact on road maintenance, construction and development.

“It’s obvious that this has a lot of ambiguity. It’s hard to understand,” said Drew Campbell, Blue See WATERS, pg. 15A

Organic farmer elected to Farm Bureau Board

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Carolyn Olson, a veteran in Minnesota’s growing organic farming industry, is a new member of the Minnesota Farm Bureau Board of Directors, elected at the Nov. 21 State Farm Bureau Convention to represent District III which includes Chippewa, Cottonwood, Jackson, Lac Qui Parle, Lincoln, Lyon, Murray, Nobles, Pipestone, Redwood, Rock and Yellow Medicine counties.

Other Farm Bureau duties include being president of Lyon County Farm Bureau, member of State Promotion & Education Committee and Carolyn Olson Growth & Resolution Committee, and co-chairperson of the pork chop booth at Farmfest.

Olson also represents Minnesota Farm Bureau on the Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s Advisory Task Force because of her organic farming background.

Carolyn and Jonathan Olson transitioned their first field into organic farming in 1998. By 2011 every field was fully certified and today 11 fields are producing organic corn, soybeans and wheat.

“We’re contemplating putting alfalfa into the rotation next year … primarily as another nitrogen source. We use hog manure right now but alfalfa could be a good supplement. Those alfalfa roots do good things for soil moisture utilization and overall soil structure,” said Olson.

While going organic presented a new batch of challenges, it has worked out well for the Olsons’ Lyon County farm.

“It was one of the better decisions we’ve made. We love the methods of organic farming. It’s biological farming. … Getting back to the science of soils and plant health. Basically the challenge, but also the joy, is figuring out how to make everything work together,” said Olson.

Last spring, she showed the world barefoot farming when she blogged a barefoot selfie in her soil.

“When we first started, our soils were pretty chunky. Now the tilth of the soil is wonderful. I actually ran out barefoot in the field last spring because it was so soft and comfortable even to my bare feet. I was in the tractor. I couldn’t resist so took off my shoes and socks and it was great,” said Olson.

Olson said that organic farming is slowly growing, but not as fast as the demand for organic products.

“We would love to see more people take the leap and transition into organic. It can be a bit scary when you consider what needs to be done to make organic work,” said Olson.

When you know one method of farming, it’s a mental challenge to absorb different philosophies when going organic, she said.

See ORGANIC, pg. 17A

Organic is a labeling term that means the food or agricultural product has been produced through approved methods. These methods integrate cultural, biological and mechanical practices that foster cycling of resources, promote ecological balance and conserve biodiversity. Synthetic fertilizer, sewage sludge, irradiation, and genetic engineering may not be used.

Source: U.S. Department of Agriculture organic farming website She didn’t have exact figures available but recalled soybean prices were $24 this fall, and corn was in the $14 range. These prices are encouraging because labor and fuel costs trend higher going organic. Generally there’s no yield drag.

“But this year 14 inches of rain in two weeks in June and then only two inches the remainder of the cropping season challenged our fields. Mother Nature was not kind to us this season,” she said.

In an average year, Olson said their corn yields match up with the county average. Hog manure is the only “crop enhancer,” with alfalfa likely providing some additional nutrient sourcing in two years.

Organic benefits Environmental protection and conservation practices are mandated by the National Organic Standards. Researchers comparing organic and nonorganic systems have found that organic methods conserve soil and water, increase soil organic matter, and sequester soil carbon at greater rates than conventional practices, while requiring less fossil fuels. Minnesota organic farmers report wildlife numbers and diversity increased when they transitioned to organic production.

The number of health and nutrition studies related to organic food is on the rise. Organic products contain fewer synthetic residues from pesticides and fertilizers than their conventional counterparts, but the debate continues whether the nutrient content of organic foods is nutritionally improved.

Minnesota’s organic farmers remain optimistic about their future according to the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. About three out of four think that they or a family member will be farming 20 years from now. And 90 percent were planning to maintain or increase their organic production. ❖

THE LAND, DECEMBER 19, 2014

ORGANIC, from pg. 16A “Which is why we started one field at a time. With 11 fields now transitioned our entire farm is now certified,” said Olson.

Since organic farming doesn’t permit chemical weed control, the Olsons’ corn gets “flamed,” usually two passes per season. Flaming requires a piece of equipment that uses propane to scorch young weeds in the corn rows. They also harrow, rotary hoe and cultivate. They hire migrant workers from Texas to walk and hoe troublesome weeds. Grassy weeds are an every-year issue.

If considering organic farming, Olson suggested mentorship through the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. She advised seeking out established growers.

“Don’t be bashful about asking for advice. Also don’t be surprised if you ask 10 people and you get 10 different opinions. But in that process you’ll glean some nuggets that fit within what you intend to be doing,” she said.

Marketing organics Better prices are one reason to go organic. Producing organic soybean and wheat seed for Albert Lea Seed House is premium profit for the Olsons. They have double certification, both as organic and through the Minnesota Crop Improvement Association.

Q: Let’s try another hot topic — Country of Origin Labeling. What’s likely?

Goule: The latest WTO (World Trade Organization) announcement said the WTO decision is compliant but that’s been their position for some time.

They have criticized us for our implementation, but every time an appeal comes out the scope of the problem gets more and more narrow.

The United States has still got a third appeal left in its wallet. National Farmers Union is encouraging the United States Trade Representative to use that last appeal. I also know several U. S. senators from the Upper Midwest have called the USTR to appeal again the Country of Origin Labeling proposal.

The flip side, however, is that we also got sued in the D.C. Federal Court by the National Cattlemen’s Association and the Canadian Cattlemen. I find it interesting that our National Cattlemen’s organization has teamed up with the Canadian group which is usually the largest competitor of the National Cattlemen and are now suing our own government. We have won all four of these challenges so far. The National Farmers Union intervened on behalf of the USDA to make certain that NFU members had their voice heard.

Q: Where are grain commodity organizations — corn, soybeans and wheat — on COOL? Goule: NCBA has been out recruiting the Corn Growers, the Soybean Growers and other commodity groups saying that Canada is going to retaliate against you if we don’t fix COOL. But what they’re

Farm bill close to activation GOULE, from pg. 18A not explaining is that Canada does not get to make the decision about whether or not to retaliate. We are winning step by step with the WTO. Unless you are directly involved as a livestock organization, you need to stay out of this fight. Farmers Union doesn’t pick fights in areas where we don’t belong. My suggestion is to hold off and see how this plays out with WTO and let us work this out with the meat packing industry.

Q: Is the anti-GMO issue picking up steam?

Goule: I was in Rome this past October at an NFA (National Futures Association) meeting. When you speak with their elected officials it is still very antiGMO. However when I talked with people in food stores, their animosity towards GMO was much less than the verbiage from their leaders. Granted I was in southern Europe and I know that as you move into northern Europe they are getting more passive on this issue.

However, we also are seeing a steady increase by U.S. consumers wanting GMO information on food labels. … Much like the increase in Country of Origin Labeling. People want to know more and more about their food. I think an informed consumer is a better consumer. That also makes the market more competitive, which means better quality and a more diversified lineup of what you can buy. We support GMO labeling.

We support Country of Origin Labeling. The consumer is the buyer of our product. We need to recognize they are the drivers of our food chain worldwide.

Q: You travel the U.S. farm belt. The “golden years” are history. What’s the mood of farmers?

Goule: The railroad issue, especially up here in Minnesota and the Dakotas, is causing lots of angst amongst farmers. There’s nowhere to send this year’s harvest because much of last year’s harvest still hasn’t gone anywhere. Last week the corn price was about $3.80 nationally. The new farm bill on the PLC (Price Loss Coverage) program kicks in at $3.70 so we’re getting close to the farm bill being activated. I hear many ag economists say commodity prices will rebound because world food demand keeps increasing. So often the thinking is “I’m just going to walk away for now because I know commodity prices are cyclical. I think we can hang on.” A lot of farmers paid off most of their debts the past couple of years. We’ve got a farm bill with a good safety net which will sustain them should we have a couple years of bad prices.

Yes, I understand the ongoing confusion over PLC and ARC (Agricultural Risk Coverage). ... Best advice is to visit your FSA offices, or the various Extension information programs at meetings around the state. You can also go to three websites: FSA, Texas A&M University or the University of Illinois website. Each has calculators where you can type in your own data and it will spit out “estimates” of what each program will do for you. Or you can link in through our NFU website — www.nfu.org — and access the same choices.

Goule has worked on Capitol Hill for 11 years, spending seven years as a staff member on the U.S. House Committee on Agriculture. He was one of the staff directors who helped write the 2008 farm bill. ❖

Advertorial

Once again we will be looking forward to see what, if anything, Congress can pass for tax provisions after the election and before year-end. As it stands, 2014 deductions related to Section 179 and bonus depreciation are much lower than 2013. The 2014 allowances reflected below will require action from Congress before we can count on any increase in the deduction.

1.

Allowable First Year Deductions for Capital Purchases

*Section 179 depreciation **Bonus depreciation

2013 $500,000 50%

2014 $25,000 0%

THE LAND, DECEMBER 19, 2014

As usual, the swing in various commodity markets will make for some interesting results for 2014. Also, future considerations will weigh heavily on attempting to target your 2014 taxable income.

21 A

*Sec. 179 allows taxpayers to expense the cost of USED or NEW qualifying property placed in service during the tax year subject to certain dollar limitations. Asset addition limitation phase-out range for 2013 = 2,000,000 - 2,500,000, 2014 = 200,000 - 225,000. **Bonus depreciation allows taxpayers to expense the cost of NEW qualifying property placed in service during the tax year with no dollar limitation phaseout.

2. The federal tax rates for 2014 are the same as 2013. As you recall, the upper rates and brackets increased in 2013.

3. Repair Regulations. There are new regulations regarding the ability to classify certain expenditures as a current-year repair expense or a capitalized expenditure for depreciation. Most all business activities will need to prepare IRS form 3115 “Change in Accounting Method” to be mailed to the IRS and also attached to their 2014 tax returns.

5.

Health Care Update. New regulations were enacted through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that will significantly restrict the use of employer provided health insurance and medical reimbursement plans. The ACA allows the IRS to impose a penalty of $100 per day, per employee for having a health plan arrangement that is not in compliance. There are many factors to consider depending on your situation. Contact your tax accountant to review how these new regulations impact your business.

6.

Pre-Paid Farm Expenses. Farmers are generally allowed to deduct the costs of supplies purchased during a tax year, even if the supplies will not be used until the following tax year. A cash-basis taxpayer must meet all four of the following conditions to claim a deduction in the year of the expenditure: • The expenditure must be a payment for a supply, rather than a deposit.

• The prepayment must be made for a valid business purpose.

• The expense should be used normally within 12 months of purchase.

• Typically cannot prepay more than 50 percent of the current-year operating expenses, including depreciation.

7.

Defer income to 2015. Farm income from grain or livestock sales can be deferred to 2015 by signing a deferred payment contract. This contract should be executed before ownership is transferred. These contracts will delay the payment to January 2015. Be aware that you are at risk if the business/buyer becomes insolvent before the check is received. In certain instances, the IRS will allow a cash-basis farmer to elect out of the installment sale treatment of these agreements on a contract-for-contract basis. For tax planning flexibility, it is best to use several smaller contracts instead of one large contract.

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

4. Minnesota Gift and Estate Tax Issues The 2014 Minnesota tax bill repealed the new gift tax law enacted in 2013 and revised the Minnesota estate tax exemption and qualified farm property estate tax exclusion.

• The Minnesota estate tax exemption has increased from $1,000,000 to $1,200,000 for 2014.

• Some of the highlights regarding Qualified Farm Property eligible for the additional $3.8 million exclusion are: o Need to be classified as “Homestead Farm Land” owned by a person or entity that is not excluded from owning agricultural land under Minn. Stat. §500.24 (there may be annual reporting requirements with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture). o For three years after the decedent’s death the property maintains a property tax classification of Class 2a agricultural property (if you have questions, please bring in your real estate property tax statements).

8. 2014 crop insurance proceeds for “yield” loss including prevented planting proceeds can be received in 2014 and you may elect to defer the income to 2014, if you are a cash-basis farmer and can document that normally more than 50 percent of your yearly production is marketed in the year after it was produced. The revenue-based portion of the insurance proceeds for price declines is not eligible for deferral. If the crop insurance claim is filed late enough, it may be possible to delay the receipt of the insurance settlement until January, which would then be considered 2015 income. Work with your insurance agent and adjuster to avoid any surprises when attempting to delay reporting of your potential insurance claim.

9. Year-end is a good time to review your employment agreements (especially those containing commodity wage provisions) between family members and a closely held entity.

10. A non-tax item: The 2014 Farm Bill authorizes several new program options that are administered by the Farm Service Agency (FSA). Both producers and landowners have several options to be made regarding each FSA farm unit. Informational meetings and online analysis tools are available to clarify the issues and help individuals make the correct option choice.

Excess crops feeding hungry via Second Harvest

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Every year, more than 600,000 Minnesotans are at risk of hunger. That’s 1 in 10. About 50 percent of those who regularly miss meals come from rural

and greater Minnesota. At the same time, more than 200 million pounds of edible Minnesota crops go unharvested or unsold due to a variety of reasons.

That’s why Second Harvest Heartland is looking to Minnesota farmers to help close the gap. Thanks

to a $2 million appropriation by the Minnesota Legislature, the Farm to Food Shelf grant now helps producers and processors offset the cost to harvest and package their donated fruits and vegetables that would otherwise go unharvested or be discarded.

Tony Mans, director of food sourcing of Second Harvest, worked a booth at the November Farm Bureau State Convention to inform farmers.

“One reason I am at this State Farm Bureau event is to emphasize with farmers who stop at our booth that we are a growing market for Tony Mans their fresh produce,” said Mans.

“Our landscape has really changed over the past few years. Last year 49 percent of our volume was fresh products — produce, meats, bread and dairy. So for a system that grew up on canned goods it’s been a big change and this is where we see the growth going forward.”

A member of Mans’ team is a farmer, which helps in the non-profit’s outreach to farmers, which includes farm visits and trade shows.

“One thing we have learned is that farmers really hate to see their crop go to waste. They worked hard to nurture their crop along but sometimes they just don’t get it sold,” said Mans.

He noted U.S. Department of Agriculture data indicating over 200 million pounds of produce that goes unharvested or harvested but not sold each year.

Mans said he is confident that with the new state funding, more farmer growers will take that extra step of donating their unused fruits and vegetables into the Second Harvest Heartland program.

“Farmers won’t get rich off this effort. I’d call it a cost-neutral program where growers at least get reimbursed for the extra costs of packaging and delivering produce that otherwise would go unharvested or be discarded. Paying labor to hand-harvest sweet corn that might otherwise be disked down is a favor that growers genuinely appreciate,” said Mans.

“We welcome organic products but for us the importance is that it is fresh, nutritious, and is readily accepted by our consumers,” said Mans.

Farmers can donate food to six Feeding America food shelf programs serving Minnesota. Second Harvest Heartland is part of the Feeding America network with locations in St. Paul, Rochester, Duluth, Grand Rapids, Crookston and Fargo, N.D. Through a program called Invest An Acre, farmers can donate bushels of corn that will be converted to a pledge donation. Then Monsanto Company matches these donations dollar for dollar to double the impact. That means the value of just one bushel of corn can provide as many as 100 meals for those in need. Monsanto’s matching gift participation is up to a nationwide match of $675,000.

“This lets a local farmer work directly with his grain elevator, or contact us and we will handle the process for him,” said Mans.

See HUNGRY, pg. 23A

Call (877) 547-0245 to get complete information and paperwork. When you donate you will be asked to sign a receipt and grower agreement, and be instructed on where to mail this information and your invoice for reimbursable costs.

These funds are not designed to cover the cost of the produce itself. Some cost reimbursement rates based on bulk pounds are: Potatoes Carrots Sweet corn Cantaloupe Zucchini

$0.05 $0.10 $0.13 $0.18 $0.20

Produce can be donated to any of six Feeding America food banks serving Minnesota. Visit www.feedingamerica.org for a complete listing under the local food bank tab.

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

“Sometimes products get close to code date; or it’s a discontinued item; or the packaging has changed,” said Mans. “We can take such products into our distribution channels. The same issues with grocery store items, like pre-cut lettuce which has a ‘use by’ date but we know this product is good beyond that date even though the food store can’t sell it beyond that date.”

Meat from grocery stores is one of the most valuable items with Second Harvest Heartland. Again it’s a matter of “sell by” dates but the product is still perfectly good.

“We pick up from their freezers and distribute it frozen throughout our system,” said Mans.

Formed in 2001 from the merger the Minneapolis

and St. Paul food banks, the history of Second Harvest goes back to a church basement in St. Paul where a pastor was concerned about his neighbors food needs yet at a nearby grocery store he saw unsold food being thrown away.

“So it was a matter of this pastor pursuing the issue of getting discarded food from grocery stores into proper hands for distribution to hungry people,” said Mans.

Today, Second Harvest works in 59 counties with 41 in Minnesota and 18 in western Wisconsin. Second Harvest also belongs to a national network of food banks called Feeding America with emphasis on gathering unused food for distribution to hungry people across the nation.

This current fiscal year, Second Harvest Heartland processed 89 million pounds of food through its distribution center in Maplewood.

“That makes us the largest food bank in the nation. If you think of a 40,000 pound food load per semi, that’s over 2,000 semis full of product that has left our Maplewood headquarters for deliveries across Minnesota and much of western Wisconsin,” said Mans.

Food shelf operators request people to register when they come to a local food shelf, where they are welcome to a monthly visit to satisfy most of their food requests. Through Second Harvest, the food must be given to the “end user” at no cost.

“We’re rather proud of that tremendous cooperation we are getting from food suppliers. And also we take pride in the cooperative spirit of all the volunteer workers at the many food shelves across rural Minnesota and Wisconsin,” said Mans. ❖

THE LAND, DECEMBER 19, 2014

HUNGRY, from pg. 22A Feeding Minnesota Second Harvest Heartland has doubled its volume over the past five years.

“We’re proud about that but also sad because that plainly shows just how great the need is. With one of every 10 people at risk of hunger, we know these programs will keep expanding. As a nation we are a grateful people wanting to eliminate hunger,” said Mans.

“This giving of produce from food manufacturers, grocery stores, a growing number of farmer-growers, and even organizations and individuals that continually do fundraisers for food shelves is an indication that the effort will keep expanding.”

In order to provide food for the hungry, Mans looks to a variety of sources for food.

“Our mission statement is very simple — “To End Hunger through Community Partnerships” — so we develop partnerships with everybody who potentially could have unused food. We started with food manufacturers who often have some excess inventory that just doesn’t get into the food chain,” said Mans.

“Some examples of generous givers are Gold’n Plump, Hormel, Pan-O-Gold Baking Company, General Mills, Cargill. Then we got involved with the next stage which is grocery stores. We are now working with every major grocery chain in Minnesota and western Wisconsin such as Cub Foods, Sam’s Club, Walmart, Target, Lunds & Byerly’s, Kowolski’s and Coborns. However the newest program is working directly with growers to capture any surplus products that they may have.”

Food from major food manufacturers isn’t due to excess inventory only.

■ Cash cheese prices saw a little strength. The block Cheddar closed the second week of December at $1.60 per pound, up 2 cents on the week but 32.5 cents below that week a year ago. The Cheddar barrels closed Friday at $1.51, down 4 cents on the week and 32 cents below a year ago, and the lowest level they have seen since May 29, 2012.

Three cars of block and 30 of barrel traded hands on the week. There were 27 carloads of barrel traded on Thursday, the second-largest single day total in 10 years and represented over one million pounds. The blocks have plunged 85 cents from their lofty

Jerry Dryer, editor of the Dairy and Food Market Analyst, called the barrel volume an “aberration” in Friday’s DairyLine.

this weak for the foreseeable future.”

Earlier, Fonterra suggested that we would see some international product price recovery in March, Dryer reported, and now they’re talking about July. And, the price they announced is equivalent to less than a $12 per hundredweight Class IV U.S. price, according to Dryer, “So it’s very bearish news.”

Should the United States give up the export market? Is that a silly question?

Dryer answered, “There’s no such thing as a silly question but we shouldn’t give up the export market, is the answer.” Doing that would mean we would have to cut U.S. milk production by 15 percent tomorrow morning, he said.

“We exported 15 percent of our product this year and we will export 15 percent or more for the foreseeable future, for many years to come. We don’t want to give it up,” he concluded, “It just

means the ups and downs are broader based rather than just domestically based.”

■ Cheese markets have a weak undertone, according to USDA’s Dairy Market News. Domestic sales remain as expected for this time of year but exports are lagging. Various factors are influencing markets. Milk production remains heavy and the flow of milk is driving cheese production. Some spot milk is moving in the Midwest at $5.00 under Class. Cheese plants with contracted milk supplies are paying producers at price levels not yet lowered to reflect current lower cheese prices, due to the lag in the milk pricing formulas which is encouraging milk production.

International factors are slowing exports of cheese from levels earlier this year. Europe in particular is mov-

Historians, cooks alike will devour ‘The American Plate’ Everything looks so delicious.

It all smells great, too, and you can’t decide what you like best. The meat is done just right, potatoes are mashed to perfection, biscuits are to die for.

And then there’s dessert! But — wait, leftovers. That’s your favorite ...

You’ve got a lot on your plate this month, in more ways than one. And in “The American Plate” by Libby H. O’Connell, PhD, you’ll learn the stories our food can tell.

Imagine inviting a long-ago ancestor to dinner this week.

By Terri Schlichenmeyer

If he lived near the East Coast, he might’ve relished cod, though your Friday Night Fish Fry would seem pathetic to him. The cod he ate came in six foot long slabs, dried, salted, and kept stacked in his pantry. He might’ve added cow’s butter, dyed with gold flower petals, maybe some eel on the side, and bon appetit.

Of course, our ancestors had turkey, but they also ate offal (which sounds really awful). Those from the Netherlands brought doughnuts to the table. The British gave us syllabub.

The Chinese gave us a dish, the words of which mean “odds and ends,” or chop suey. Pie was a group effort, originating from several different cultures.

Food played a role in who won The War Between the States, when Rebel forces nearly starved while Union soldiers enjoyed a bounty. At the turn of the last century, food created the first celebrity chefs. It became politicized some 85 years ago, then was frozen, served in front of the TV, and made fast.

And what does the future hold? Well, pull up a chair. That entrée isn’t done yet.

What he’d find at the table might astound him; surely, there’d be some dishes he wouldn’t even recognize. That’s because “remarkable changes in ingredients, recipes, and menus over the centuries” have changed how — and what — we eat.

That ancestor, for instance, might’ve enjoyed dining on grilled beavertail.

Yum. Then again, he’d know maize (corn, to us) very well. Native Americans grew it more than 9,000 years ago, and your ancestor might have had it in his garden, along with beans and squash, a farming method called the Three Sisters. See BOOKWORM, pg. 29A

Fiction Western lovers will love reading “The Ploughmen” by Kim Zupan, a story of a green lawman and the older jailed killer he’s tasked with watching. Set in the Old West, this book is laced with a tautness that modern readers will love. Wrap it up with “Painted Horses” by Malcolm Brooks, a novel with a modern setting and a romantic spin.

For the reader who loves faction (fact + fiction), you’ll want to find “The True and Splendid History of the Harristown Sisters” by Michelle Lovric.

Based on a real family of sisters who grew their hair long (very long!) and performed in public, this book imagines their relationships with one another, the jealousy, and the scandal.

General non-fiction The gardener on your list is going to go wild for “A Garden of Marvels” by Ruth Kassinger. This is a book about the secret lives of plants: what they eat, how they mate, and how they grow. Wrap it up with a trowel and a few packages of seeds, for a nice promise-of-spring gift.

What makes a good love last? Someone on your gift list wonders that same thing, and in “Love Cycles” by Linda Carroll, she (or he!) will find the answer. Wrap it up with two tickets to anywhere, and wish the happy couple well.

The outdoorsman on your list doesn’t need another pair of hand warmers or wool socks – so wrap up “The Three-Minute Outdoorsman” by Robert M. Zink instead. This book is full of short, just-a-few-pages essays on hunting, fishing, and nature, and (believe it or not) science.

very December, Sibley Park in Mankato is turned into a winter wonderland of lights that amaze nightly visitors.

Driving on Highway 60 through Mankato, you can see the lights of the park just before you approach or after you pass the CHS plant.

There are over one million lights displayed in the Kiwanis Holiday Lights, which is a huge project undertaken by the Mankato Downtown Kiwanis Service Club. Almost 1,000 volunteers worked for five weekends to make this lighted fantasy a reality.

Mankato area businesses, large and small, have rallied around the cause.

These are no ordinary lights. Huge displays of lit up live trees and Christmas tree structures light up the night sky. Thousands of dancing lights are synchronized to twinkle to dramatic Christmas music.

This holiday light show is akin to watching a fireworks display — complete with the ooohs and aahhs. Visitors especially love the choreographed tunnel of light that illuminates lights in sync with holiday carols.

Santa Claus adds a sleigh-full of holiday magic and North Pole charm. A warming house where hot cocoa is served and horsedrawn wagon rides delight all.

Visitors may drive through Kiwanis Holiday lights by following signs to the Sibley Park entrance. Signs will alert you to tune into two different radio stations. First, you can listen to the welcome station to hear carols and trivia about the Kiwanis Lights.

Once you enter the park, you can tune in the music that plays in sync with the dancing lights. You may also walk the route by parking in the CHS parking lot or along neighboring streets.

Admission is free. A donation of money or non-perishable items for the food shelf is appreciated. Hours are Sunday-Thursdays 5 to 9 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays 5 to 10 p.m. through Dec. 31.

Grain prices are effective cash close on Dec. 15. The price index chart compares an average of most recently reported local cash prices with the same average for a year ago. *Cash grain price change represents a two-week period.

Grain Angles Avoid emotional roller coaster

The following market analysis is for the week ending Dec. 12.

CORN — The March corn contract was finally able to punch the $4.00 barrier as we headed into the weekend and after the apparent leak/release of the Farm Service Agency certified acreage numbers. The mid-week monthly U.S. Department of Agriculture crop report didn’t hold any surprises and was viewed as slightly friendly with a declining carryout.

The friendly U.S. numbers, however, were offset by a bigger PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. world-ending stocks number. The St. Paul December USDA report increased the Feed, Seed and Industrial category by 10 million bushels which fed directly to a cut in ending stocks of 10 million bushels. The new ending stocks number is 1.998 billion bushels compared to trade expectations that stocks would increase from 2.008 to 2.027 billion bushels. The average on-farm price was left unchanged at $3.20-$3.80 per bushel. On the world balance sheet, ending stocks increased from 191.5 million metric tons to 192.2 mmt. Argentina’s corn crop was dropped 1 mmt to 22 mmt and their exports were lowered accordingly.

The upcoming December FSA acreage update was due for release on Dec. 15 but was making the rounds on Dec. 12. Based on the new FSA certified number of 86.13 million acres (assuming it is correct), the current USDA acreage number of 90.9 million acres may

The psychology of the livestock markets appears to have changed since the change to the month of December. Both cattle and hog prices appear to have topped both in the futures and the cash markets as we head into the holidays.

It appears the lack of demand for beef has finally caught up with the tight supply of live cattle. This is primarily due to the weight of the cattle which has made up for the decline in the actual numbers of cattle, causing the total supply of beef to be adequate to meet the declining JOE TEALE demand.

Broker Another negative has been the Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. competition between protein sources such as chicken, pork and turkey, which are much cheaper per pound retail. Another significant problem has been the strength of the dollar which has hampered export sales.

The supply of cattle has changed little which could help stabilize the market in the short term, but demand will still be the dominant factor in price direction in the longer term. The beef cutout has taken a large tumble recently, signifying that decrease in demand mainly due to the price.

However as the price has dropped, more boxes have moved as retailers have been looking for bargains.

Because of the change in attitudes toward the cattle, producers should become more wary of extended rallies from this point and protect inventories when possible.

It’s easy to look at the markets today and identify when the best opportunities for sales were over the past 12 months. It’s also easy to get caught in an emotional roller coaster of hope, fear and greed while markets fluctuate.

Developing a marketing plan is a crucial aspect of risk management. Whether you are new to marketing plans, or feel your plan could use some modifications, below are few basic ideas to consider.

1) Understand you will not and cannot expect to “hit home runs” KURT LENSING every time. If you swing for the AgStar Assistant VP fence at every at bat, a strikeout and Industry Specialist is inevitable. Instead, try to think Waite Park, Minn. about marketing as risk management. Selling all of your production in one day assumes similar risk as not selling a bushel until the end of the marketing year.

2) Establish written goals, and when and where you make the best decisions. Documenting and periodically revisiting our objectives improves our chances of success. Additionally, though it may seem obvious, leave the big decisions for when you have the time, energy and attitude to think things through and realistically analyze all your options.

3) Understand your farms risk bearing ability. If you do not know what your break-even production costs are, it’s nearly impossible to understand what type of financial risks you are taking each year.

What amount of risk are you willing to take? How many base hits do you need to succeed?

Beans experience key reversal lower on charts NYSTROM, from pg. 1B be 1 to 1.5 million acres too high. The FSA news was the impetus that provided the surge higher over $4.00 per bushel. On an historical basis, USDA planted corn acres have averaged 3.23 million acres higher than FSA acres from 2009-13. There are many that believe the backlog in FSA reporting and the deadline extension to Dec. 31 will not result in a significant reduction in planted acreage on the Jan. 12 USDA final balance sheets. It will now be up to the market to determine how this will play out on the final 201415 USDA balance sheets.

Weekly ethanol production was a record 988,000 barrels per day, up 5 percent from a year ago. Since the beginning of the crop year, the annualized corn grind equates to 5.240 billion bushels versus the current USDA forecast for 5.150 billion bushels.

Ethanol stocks rose 20 million gallons to 746 million gallons. The arbitrage window to import ethanol from Brazil has reopened, but a declining cash ethanol market should limit any extended program. Weekly corn export sales were in line with estimates at 37.9 million bushels. Total sales commitments are down 8 percent from last year. This is comparable to the 8.7 percent year-on-year export decrease indicated by the USDA. OUTLOOK: The monthly USDA report and early FSA report were highlights for the week, but there

were a few other market moving factors. There were rumors once again that China will approve MIR 162 corn sooner than later, which will affect both corn and dried distillers grains shipments into China; and that Ukraine will not deliver 20 percent of its corn commitments to China. This chatter came after reports that three U.S. dried distillers grains cargoes were rejected by Turkey due to GMO issues. Corn broke out of its multi-week trading range to trade to its highest level since July. The March contract ended the week up 12 1⁄2 cents at $4.07 1⁄2 per bushel. This raises the upper end of the trading range to a $4.23 1⁄4 gap left in early July. In the short run corn may be setting up for another leg higher; but in the long run, a near 2.0-billion-bushel carryover is hard to ignore.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans experienced a key reversal lower on the charts in post-USDA report trading.

Exports were raised 40 million bushels to a record 1.76 billion bushels, which translated to a 40-million-bushel cut in ending stocks to 410 million bushels. The average pre-trade estimate was 427 million bushels. With crush projected at 1.78 billion bushels and ideas leaning for further export increases, this could be the first year ever that exports will surpass crush. It was interesting that the USDA left the average on-farm price forecast unchanged at $9.00 to $11.00 per bushel when end-

TEALE, from pg. 1B The hog market has continued to slip as inventories of animals seem adequate to meet the packers slaughter needs. At the same time the pork cutouts have continued to be under a little pressure, causing the packer to be more selective in the bidding process for live inventory. Cash prices have been drifting slowly lower because of the supply of hogs over the past few weeks.

The demand for pork has been fair; however the supply of pork product has been sufficient enough to offset the demand and thus the slippage in the pork cutout. The strong dollar has also had an effect

on the export market causing exports to slightly decline in recent weeks.

Because of the disparity in the beef and pork cutouts, the retail market has moved to featuring more pork products. This may help support prices in the weeks ahead if this disparity continues. From a technical point of view, the market is becoming oversold. However it will still depend on the demand for pork versus the supply of hogs. Producers are urged to keep in touch with market conditions and protect inventories as needed.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. ❖

LENSING, from pg. 1B 4) Educate yourself on market drivers both current and historical. Historical basis charts and futures charts should help identify past movements. Education on current and historical information should help reduce emotional decisions.

5) Understand and identify what types of contracts you are comfortable with or would like to use.

A marketing plan does not have to be complex, however markets are changing and alternative marketing tools may help during increasingly volatile markets.

6) Analyze past performance. If we do not recognize what went well and what could be improved on it’s extremely difficult to improve on.

These are just a few very basic things to consider when developing a marketing plan or trying to alter your current plan. There is not one farm exactly alike and marketing plans will vary as well. The core reason for developing a plan, however, is the same across all farms.

Since you know your position better than anyone else, developing the plan is up to you and/or your trusted advisor. The main thing is to think about what’s important to you and how you can protect your bottom line.

ing stocks were lowered.

The market rolled over after the report release in a seemingly “buy the rumor, sell the fact”-type action.

The reversal lower was also spurred by Conab’s updated Brazilian soybean production estimate from 90.5 million metric tons to a record 95.8 mmt. The USDA left Brazil’s production forecast unchanged at 94.0 mmt and Argentina’s estimate steady at 55.0 mmt. World ending soybean stocks fell slightly from 90.28 mmt to 89.87 mmt, but were near the 89.70 mmt estimate.

The FSA certified planted acreage number on Friday was 81.58 million acres. The USDA is using 84.2 million planted acres on the balance sheet. Since 2009, the average difference between FSA and USDA planted soybean acreage is 1.32 million acres, USDA over FSA. Based on historical differences since 2009, USDA planted acreage may be 1 to 1.3 million acres too high. As mentioned above, due to incomplete data at the FSA because of reporting extensions, many are skeptical that acreage decreases will be as big as implied.

Weekly export sales for soybeans were in line with expectations at 29.8 million bushels. Total sales for the year are running five percent ahead of last year.

The new USDA export forecast corresponds to a 6.8 percent year on year increase in sales, supporting chatter that exports could see further gains on future reports.

OUTLOOK: The world has plenty of soybeans if the South American crop is realized. The Argentine Banco Nacional confirmed this week that they will deny credit to farmers who hold soybeans as a hedge against inflation. This could force sales earlier in the year than otherwise expected. A U.S. carryout of near 400 million bushels is a massive increase from last year’s 92 million bushel carryout. January soybeans closed 11 1⁄4 cents higher for the week at $10.47 1⁄4 per bushel. The recent range of $9.83 3⁄4 to $10.86 1⁄4 may be respected into the end of the calendar year. Longer term, rallies may be difficult to maintain if South American supplies come to the market without interruption.

Added notes on the energy market: Crude oil prices have reached levels not seen since May 2009 when it hit a weekly low of $57.34 per barrel. Global growth/demand projections have been lowered by virtually everyone. Iran stated recently that crude oil prices may fall as low as $40 per barrel. Saudi Arabia confirmed in statements that they will let the market determine the price of oil and see no reason to cut their production. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries on Nov. 27 kept their production quota unchanged at 30 million barrels per day. OPEC’s current production is running in the 30.6 million barrels per day area.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending Dec. 12 — Chicago March wheat rallied 12 1⁄2 cents higher while Minneapolis wheat fell 2 1⁄4 cents and Kansas City dropped a nickel. January soymeal closed 60 cents higher and bean oil was up 28 ticks.

January crude oil tumbled $8.03 lower to $57.81, ultra-low-sulfur diesel collapsed over 9 cents, reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending plunged 17 1⁄2 cents lower and natural gas fell 3⁄4 cents. ❖

Understanding ‘Market Year Average’ price calculations MYA prices and the new farm program The MYA prices affect The MYA price is the 12-month national average price potential farm program for a commodity, based on the average market price payments for all of the received at the first point of sale by farm operators new farm program options that are availacross the United States. able to farm operators for the 2014 to 2018 crop years for corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, barley, and small grain crops, the 12month marketing year begins on June 1 in the year wheat, and several other crops. The MYA prices for of harvest, and continues until May 31 the following a crop are the same everywhere in the United States. Producers have until March 31 to finalize year, with the MYA price finalized by June 30. the five-year (2014-2018) farm program decision at USDA publishes monthly and season-average local Farm Service Agency offices.

All farm program decisions will be month. Some universities also update projected MYA made on the basis of eligible FSA farm units. prices on a monthly basis for selected crops.

See PROGRAMS, pg. 5B The grain sales data collected by NASS includes all types of sales. Forward contract sales data are recorded in the month in which the grain is actually delivered, and not in the month that the contract is established. The sales data for each month is then computed on a statewide basis, in order to arrive at a state-level monthly average price. The monthly average prices are then aggregated, based on the estimated grain marketed in each state, to create an estimated monthly national average price. The monthly average prices are then compared to the five-year “rolling average” weightings for the percentage of bushels sold in each month, in order to arrive at an estimated MYA price each month. Once the 12-month marketing year is completed, the actual weightings of monthly grain sales percentages are used to calculate the final MYA price for a year.

Typically, about 53-56 percent of the corn, and 60-70 percent of the soybeans, are sold during the first five months of the marketing year, which is Sept. 1 to Jan. 31 for corn and soybeans.

THE LAND, DECEMBER 19, 2014

One of the key components for farm operators to understand as they evaluate the new farm program options is the concept of “Market Year Average” price. The MYA price for a given crop year is used to calculate any potential payments for all three farm program options: Price Loss Coverage, Ag Risk Coverage-County, and FARM PROGRAMS Ag Risk Coverage-Individual.

By Kent Thiesse The historical MYA prices are also used to determine the “benchmark revenues” for both the ARC-CO and ARC-IC program options.

The MYA price for a given commodity is not: • Based on the Chicago Board of Trade commodity prices.

• Based on any specific local or terminal grain prices.

• Calculated the same as the crop insurance base prices or harvest prices.

The MYA price is the 12-month national average price for a commodity, based on the average market price received at the first point of sale by farm operators across the United States. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service collects grain sales data on a monthly basis. The goal of the MYA price is to compute the total revenues received from selling a given crop divided by the total bushels sold during the year. The MYA price includes all grades and quality level of a crop, and does not include any marketing charges.

The 12-month marketing year for corn and soybeans begins on Sept. 1 in the year that a crop is harvested, and continues until Aug. 31 the following year. The 12-month MYA price for that crop year is then finalized by Sept. 30 the following year. For

PROGRAMS, from pg. 3B Following are some details on how the MYA prices will impact each of the available farm program choices: PLC program If the 12-month MYA price for a given year (20142018) falls below the reference price for a crop, a PLC payment would occur. The PLC payment per bushel is multiplied times the established FSA payment yield, times 85 percent (0.85), to arrive at a PLC payment per crop base acre. That number is then multiplied by the number of crop base acres to get the total PLC payment for a given crop on a FSA farm unit. The MYA price for corn and soybeans would not be finalized until Sept. 30 in the year following the crop production year, and any payments would occur in October of that year. Following are the PLC reference prices for some crops for the 20142018 crop years: ARC-CO program Payments for the ARC-CO payment will occur when the actual crop revenue for a given crop year falls below the ARC-CO “revenue guarantee” for that year. The ARC-CO revenue guarantee is equal to 86 percent (0.86) of the “benchmark revenue” for the year. The benchmark revenue is the five-year “olympic average” county yield times the five-year “olympic average” MYA price for a given program crop. The “olympic average” for county yield and price for five years drops the high and the low year for each, and averages the other three years. The actual ARC-CO crop revenue is the final county crop yield for the year times the final MYA price for the crop for that crop year. The MYA price for corn and soybeans would not be finalized until Sept. 30 in the
