Commentary: Small family farms are state’s ‘real ag’ As a state legislator representing rural Minnesota, I believe that it’s important we articulate a future for rural Minnesota that includes a place for small and medium-sized family farms.

Indeed, I think a key to a vibrant rural Minnesota is creating policies that support and encourage more small and medium-sized family farmers.

These operations are the types of small businesses that spend money on Main Street and that can help attract young people back to rural Minnesota.

That’s why I was disappointed to read about Sen. Julie Rosen, at a meeting of the Senate Rural Task Force, contrasting a 320-acre diversified crop and livestock farm with an 8,000-cow dairy saying, “That’s not real ag, this is.” Dismissing a farm because they graze or use other sustainable farming practices is wrong.

Holding up an 8,000-cow mega-dairy as what it means to be “real ag” sends the wrong signal to the many people wanting to begin farming and those already farming. To put this issue in perspective, according to the University of Minnesota there are 3,808 dairy farms in our state and only 76 (two percent) of them are even larger than 500 cows.

Holding up the biggest of the big as “real ag” and demeaning average-sized family farms won’t lead to farm policies that move rural Minnesota forward.

The fact is we need more farmers on the land, not fewer. We must measure success not on how many cows or hogs we have in rural Minnesota, but how

These operations are the types of small businesses that spend money on Main Street and that can help attract young people back to rural Minnesota.

OPINION

many farmers we have raising cows and hogs.

There are some very tough issues facing new farmers, including not just the cost of land, but access to any land at all. I’m committed to finding answers to the tough questions facing our farmers, including

how best to support our existing dairy farm families, especially when we have low milk prices, and how we use the growing demand for local, sustainably raised foods to put more farmers on the land.

I think finding answers to these questions and others like them is key to creating a vibrant rural Minnesota.

I’m talking with farmers and farm groups now about what polices we can implement at the state level to best support them. I welcome you to contact me with any ideas you may have at (800) 920-5882.

Letter: Young farmer forced to defend career against ‘city slickers’ To the Editor: Today’s farmer is far and few between, their lifestyle is one of very little time for family, friends and vacation. Farmers used to be together, standing proud, one voice to share their livelihood with the world. Due to the lifestyle that farming brings to the individual who chooses farming as a career, farmers are a dying breed.

These thoughts bring me to a recent public hearing in the Dodge County (Minn.) Courthouse, where a

young man walked in to defend his career of choice against a band of people who had already temporarily stopped his operation to help feed this country and support his family. In this hearing, the facts about this operation were supposed to be heard and discussed.

What actually happened was very different — the elderly man in charge of this band of people turned a public hearing into a high school name-calling and down-grading brawl. Did this man let time and age diminish his memories of where he started, when he, too, was a young man with livestock? Or was it the intruding uninvolved parties from the Cities who raise a ruckus and then go home, turning neighbor against neighbor? They lose no sleep as they park their car in their suburb garage, yet our young man involved in this story is up all night trying to figure out how to pay his bills.

There are already in place many regulations, permits, inspections and a whole heap of red tape to abide by to even try to own or raise a small herd of livestock in Dodge County. Why this band of people need to leave their offices to come to our small community and get trouble started, only they know. All the regulations are in place to keep the community and the county safe. If a young man or woman wants to start a livestock operation and the county agrees that they have met all regulations of that particular county and/or state, the community should commend them for taking on such a career.

As for our city slicker troublemakers, what will you do when there is no more pork, beef, chicken, milk or eggs in your grocery stores for you to feast on, or maybe the prices are too high for even you to afford?

Because you have forced all of our livestock growers to close and scared off the next generation, like our young man in this story.

Fortunately in this story, our young man had his public hearing and they saw through the band of people opposing his operation; Dodge County granted the young man permission to continue with his livestock operation and now he, too, can sleep at night.

OPINION

I am not a socialist. I am a card-carrying Social Security recipient and a libertarian, small-government-loving petty capitalist. And over the last 50 years I’ve contributed some tens-of-thousands of dollars to my retirement insurance fund.

Wilson’s buddies at Merrill Lynch, Enron or some other failed government welfare cash cow for corporate capitalist crooks, is good by me.

Thanks to the efficiency of the Social Security Administration, I’m drawing money from my retirement insurance account just like Hagen is. Retirement insurance just isn’t socialism and as somebody who has worked hard for over a half a century to build up my account I resent his repeated claim that it is. Hagen should be happy to know the truth — he’s not a socialist.

Letter: Farmers feeding on taxpayers To the Editor: I have to laugh when I read Dick Hagen’s nonsense.

He writes for a farm magazine. No other part of society with the wealth of farmers has their hand out looking for more. He writes about extreme challenges. The taxpayers are paying the lion’s share of the cost to cover farmers for nearly any kind of loss they could have.

Does he have any idea what is going on? Land that was worth $1,000 an acre not that long ago is now bringing $10,000. If you are a carpenter and you have a bad year, you’re on your own. If you have two or three bad years as some did, you lost your house!

These farmers he’s feeling sorry for have left for Florida for the winter. Their five months of work is done. Who else lives like that?

I had an uncle from Iowa who built a million dollars’ worth of buildings on his farm — free. The taxpayers paid for them at the time with 26.5-cent storage payments that were paid to farmers by the government in order to store corn. Yep, those people working for the Walton family need to get going in life if they are going to pay for millionaire farmers’ winter vacations and increase the Walton’s wealth from the 40 percent on the bottom end that they already equal their wealth.

Yes, it’s a shame we have people like Senator Elizabeth Warren who really do care about people, causing rich people a little heartburn.

To the Editor: The Land staff writer Dick Hagen loves to use the “S” word in his columns. Just recently, in his Dec. 19 “Land Minds” column he once again tossed out his favorite verbal red herring.

He said Bill Wilson, a fellow he follows, wrote, “We have become a socialist state in dire financial condition.” Hagen then proceeded to write: “To which I agree; the figures pure and simple tell the story of the growing travails of this great country of ours.”

According to his column there are 158.3 million people receiving some form of government benefit. As a Social Security recipient, Hagen said he’s one of the myriad socialists feeding at the government wallow.

By including Social Security payments as one of the socialist projects bringing our great nation to its arthritic knees, Hagen and Wilson just smoke me.

I am not a socialist. I am a card-carrying Social Security recipient and a libertarian, small-government-loving, petty capitalist. And over the last 50 years I’ve contributed some tens-of-thousands of dollars to my retirement insurance fund. That the fund is managed by the government, and not Hagen and

Howard’s home cure only made all worse. Daily he’d wrap each cracked, bleeding finger in cotton cloth soaked in rubbing alcohol, then wrap ’em tight in black electrical tape. No one — not my father, a doctor, the visiting veterinarian — could convince him to stop the awful practice. He continued it each winter until he retired when we retired the dairy.

Thankfully, the machinery didn’t run on turpentine or diesel, so getting the gas tractors started those winter mornings took little more than a lot of choke and a little patience. Running the machinery, however, took layers of long underwear, jeans, socks, overalls, vests, coats, gloves and “stocking” caps.

We had all that clothing because no tractor on our farm had a cab or heater.

The more-used winter tractors, Uncle Honey’s Oliver 77 and Jackie’s 88, did sport “heat housers,” flimsy canvas getups that directed engine heat toward your feet. The design, though, ensured your toes toasted as your eyelids froze tight.

If your eyelids did freeze tight, you had two choices: you could wait a week for a thaw or you could just stand next to Jackie for a minute or two when he got on a red-hot cussing jag about the cold.

If you chose the latter, though, you had to keep your earflaps down.

Paap re-elected to American Farm Bureau Board Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation President Kevin Paap was reelected today to the American Farm Bureau Federation’s Board of Directors to serve a two-year term by the voting delegates at the AFBF Annual Meeting voting delegate session in San Diego, California. This will be Paap’s third term on the board of directors. Paap serves on the AFBF board which has 25 state Farm Bureau presidents along with the Women’s Committee Chair, Young Farmers & Ranchers Committee Chair, Vice President Bushue and President Stallman.

During the AFBF Board of Directors meeting Paap was reappointed to the AFBF Trade Advisory Committee and reappointed chair of the committee.

“It’s an honor and a privilege to represent Farm Bureau members from

Minnesota on the American Farm Bureau Federation Board of Directors,” said MFBF President Paap. “This allows Minnesota to have a seat at the table when meeting with national and international leaders on issues of importance that affect farming and ranching and rural communities are determined.”

Kevin, a full-time farmer, and his wife, Julie, own and operate a fourthgeneration family farm in Blue Earth County near Garden City. The Paaps raise corn and soybeans. Paap has been a lifelong Farm Bureau member. He was first elected president of the Minnesota Farm Bureau in 2005 and prior to that served as vice president of the organization since 1997.

Baumgartner’s search continues for ‘ideal corn plant’ NON-GMO, from pg. 7 in the seed industry to maintain their biotech products which has been their moneymaker for several seasons.

Baumgartner makes occasional travels to Europe and notes that European nations are more tuned in to the “healthy food” status of nonGMO grains.

“I don’t see any reversal of their acceptance of GMO seeds any time soon. The policymakers may want to change but the people won’t go for it,” said Baumgartner.

Baumgartner smiled at the thought of what an ideal corn plant will look like 10 years from now.

“If we find that ideal corn plant I’m out of a job. I’ve been working towards that ‘ideal’ corn plant for over 30 years now. I visualize lower populations rather than this continual trend of higher populations. At this lower pop-

ulation, the ideal plant will put on larger ears or multiple ears in a variety of moisture and temperature environments. This new corn will exhibit better fertilizer efficiency. That’s all part of the strategy in building a sustainable crop economy,” said Baumgartner.

His logic is to improve the capacity of the factory rather than putting more factories in the same space.

While pursuing the ideal corn plant is rewarding, Baumgartner’s greatest satisfaction comes from sharing his accomplishments with his family. He works with his wife, Deb, daughters Raechel and Rebekah, and his mother.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Seven hundred and ninety-five Minnesota farmers and forest landowners have successfully reenrolled in the Conservation Stewardship Program for another five-year period.

The program provides opportunities for farmers who are already established conservation stewards, helping them improve water quality, soil health and wildlife habitat.

“The strong interest in farmers reenrolling in the program for another five years comes as no surprise as these were the first participants to enroll in the program back in 2010,” Minnesota National Resources Conservation Service Acting State Conservationist Walter Albarran said.

For many farmers, CSP offers reward and recognition for the conservation they are already doing, plus a little extra incentive to try a few more or new practices.

The average annual payment for reenrollment in the program was $13,107 per contract.

Over $10.4 million in payments will be made to those farm families later this year, and over $520 million over the course of their five-year contracts.

Apply now for 2015 Farmers interested in getting started with CSP may apply now for contracts

beginning in 2015. Applications will be accepted at the NRCS office in USDA Service Centers throughout Minnesota.

CSP was reauthorized in the 2014 farm bill, and is a voluntary program that offers payments to producers who exercise good land stewardship and agree to further improve their conservation performance. CSP is available to all producers regardless of operation size, type, crops produced, or geographic location.

By MARIE WOOD The Land Associate Editor What will happen to your farm when you die and how your family will handle the farm in the event of incapacity or death is not a pleasant thought, but it’s a reality that needs to be faced — before either event happens.

Attorney Scott Miller compares farm succession plans to puzzles and Miller, an expert in tax law and estate planning, is confident that his firm is very good at putting all the pieces together.

“The biggest problem without planning is, in all likelihood, there’s going to be excess tax owed by the Scott Miller family and a lot of conflict, because you will run into what’s in it for me? Nobody knows what the rules are,” said Miller.

Miller, managing and founding attorney of Miller Legal Strategic Planning Centers, with offices in Tyler, Dawson Let’s figure out and Rochester, Minn., all the human has dedicated his firm to estate planning and elements first 95 percent of those to make sure estates include farm this works. succession plans.

And then we will add in the taxes. If the kids hate each other, then it isn’t a good plan.”

The average age for estate planning is 50 to mid70s. The kids are often pushing their parents to get their affairs in order, said Miller.

“They need to start planning when they are emotionally ready to do it,” said Miller.

At Miller Legal, all clients begin by completing a personal information form prior to the first meeting.

The form is a very detailed balance sheet. Miller tells his clients to think about their goals for their farm and family.

“We want them to think about in a perfect world, if they die today, what would they want to happen,” said Miller.

For many clients, the balance sheet is their FINPACK, a credit analysis software tool used by farmers

Farm succession plans get assets, land to rightful heirs PLANS, from pg. 9 and bankers. Many clients print their most recent FINPACK balance sheet for the meeting. Once clients identify their goals and provide a balance sheet, the work is on Miller’s desk now.

“It’s the expert that should solve the problem,” said Miller. “We engineer plans.”

Nitty gritty In the event of incapacity and death, farmers need a plan that will transition the farm to their children who farm and provide equitable settlements for the children that do not farm. Plans are engineered to meet Mom and Dad’s objectives first, and second to keep family harmony, explained Miller.

“To create a good succession plan to meet all goals, it has to be customized,” said Miller.

“Not every plan is the same, they have similar issues, but they are so varied from one operation to another,” said Miller. “They both may have trusts, but those trusts are designed very differently.”

Revocable living trusts are used 100 percent of the time and serve as the foundational estate planning document, said Miller. Revocable trusts ensure the estate will be kept out of probate.

In the event of incapacity, Miller looks at how the farm can continue. He addresses land rental rates, equipment, agriculture buildings, upkeep, maintenance, seed inventory, debt and many more details.

In the event of death, the succession plan outlines how the farm and assets will be transferred. For instance, is the equipment given or sold to the farming son or daughter?

“There are usually concessions given to that kid who stayed home to farm. Other than the last five years, farming has been hard to sell at full value,” said Miller. “So much of the income is in the form of equity.”

Your plan is not a one-anddone. It’s getting it completed and then maintaining it. It’s just like a combine — you just don’t go out and buy it; you have to maintain it, too.

— Scott Miller Miller advises that the farming son or daughter receives the main building site and that co-ownership is not part of the equation.

“That farming kid needs to control that particular parcel. Should he or she want to expand, the nonfarming kids will wonder what’s in it for me,” said Miller.

Attorneys also protect the farm’s assets from unintended beneficiaries. Miller offered this example: a daughter is divorced from her husband. If the daughter dies, the farm’s assets would go to her husband and not her children. The plan needs to state that the assets will go to the grandchildren.

“We spend a lot of time in our planning to make sure assets get to the people you want them to get to,” said Miller.

Miller also looks closely at debt. The plan will define how the debt will be paid and in the event a parent enters a nursing home, the plan will define how that bill will be paid as well.

One of the biggest issues in farm succession plans is land. That’s where option agreements come in to play. These agreements can have a variety of terms to make the plan economically realistic for the nonfarming and the farming children, said Miller.

For instance, the son or daughter that doesn’t farm may have the first right of refusal to the land by sell-

ing it to the sibling that farms. The price can be set at a percentage of the appraised value, but instead of a cash sale, a contract for deed may be required, explained Miller.

Parents can even require that a non-farming sibling rent the land to the farming sibling. Then Miller will draft a rental agreement that will stand the test of time by building in inflation and deflation.

Telling the kids Kids should not be involved in the planning process until the parents want them to be involved.

“We recommend that parents do the planning without the kids and tell them this is what we did and why we did it,” said Miller.

However, some farm succession plans are designed as an ongoing transition to their child or children as the parents retire from the daily farm business.

“The hardest part is that as moms and dads, we are wired to please our kids. If the kids only care about themselves, you can’t please all of them,” said Miller.

Oftentimes, Miller will lead the meeting when his clients inform their children of the plan. As an independent, unbiased party, Miller can best explain the terms of the plan.

Maintaining your plan “Your plan is not a one and done. It’s getting it completed and then maintaining it. It’s just like a combine, you just don’t go out and buy it, you have to maintain it too,” said Miller.

Miller recommends at the very minimum to update your plan every three years. Laws change as do circumstances. Some clients see Miller every year.

“The plan you have at 44 may not be the same as the plan you’ll have at 54. That’s where maintenance helps to keep it on target because the target is moving, your assets are changing,” said Miller.

feed it to livestock,” he said recently.

In late August of 2010, following a winter wheat harvest, he used a side delivery hay processor to shred one ton round bales of alfalfa into a mulch. An analysis of the alfalfa when it was applied showed that the mulch treatment provided 465 pounds of nitrogen per acre.

Fernholz describes the layer of mulch as “reasonably even.” He incorporated the mulch with a chisel plow and in the spring planted barley.

Fernholz did get a boost in fertility and yields by applying alfalfa mulch.

In addition to the full rate of application he also did a plot with half that quantity of mulch and another plot without any mulch. Interestingly, the half rate mulch plots saw the biggest boost in available nitrogen and phosphorous whereas the full rate plots saw the largest increase in potassium.

“Due to a narrow window for harvest, no yield data were collected from the barley plots in 2011,” Fernholz said.

“However, visual differences in the plots were easily observed prior to harvest. The full rate mulch plots were darker green, had fuller grain heads, and plants were fully six inches taller than the control plots. The half rate mulch plots were visibly different from both the full rate plots and the controls in both height and density.”

In 2011, following the barley har-

vest, Fernholz repeated the alfalfa mulch application in the same manner. He planted corn in the plots in 2012. It was a dry year so corn yields were down somewhat. The overall field average was 141 bushels per acre.

“Yields were significantly higher where the mulch had been applied,” he said. “The half rate and full rate mulch yielded 149 and 153 bushels per acre, respectively.”

University research Matthew Wiens, formerly of the Department of Plant Science at the University of Manitoba at Winnipeg, conducted a similar project in 2001 and 2002.

“A strip farming system may be the best way to deliver alfalfa mulch to organic grain crops,” Wiens wrote in the publication for the Organic Agriculture Centre of Canada in 2003.

“Alfalfa could be grown in strips across a field for three years to maximize its soil-building benefits. Annual

THE LAND, JANUARY 23, 2015

By TIM KING The Land Correspondent MADISON, Minn. — Farm research in Minnesota and research done at the University of Manitoba at Winnipeg show that chopped alfalfa mulch can be a source of nitrogen and other nutrients for crops such as corn, barley, and wheat.

Carmen Fernholz, an organic farmer near here, no longer has a livestock enterprise on his farm and thus has no on-farm produced manure to provide nitrogen. He normally purchases manure from his neighbor but four years ago he decided to see what would happen if he put some of the alfalfa that he raised back into the soil on his farm.

“In our current agricultural climate, many organic and conventional producers have operations without livestock,” Fernholz said. “Alfalfa is grown for its soil-building attributes. However, when the alfalfa is harvested as hay and sold off the farm, nutrients essential to plant growth are also exported in the hay.”

In 2010, Fernholz received a twoyear demonstration grant from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s Energy and Sustainable Agriculture Program. His idea was to see what kind of a nitrogen boost corn and barley ground would receive if he applied hay mulch to the field.

“If the project is successful, it will go a long way in alleviating the growing issue of low fertility on my farm,” Fernholz wrote in his grant application.

“The alfalfa mulch should also improve weed management and enhance soil structure. On-farm production of fertility should reduce input costs and increase income by allowing me to maintain my certified organic status.”

“The concern that I had prior to establishing a working relation with my neighbor on his livestock manure was that I was exporting significant amounts of Phosphorous and potash off of the farm when selling the alfalfa as a cash crop instead of being able to

Fernholz: Costs, time involved must be reduced ALFALFA, from pg. 11 crops would be grown between the alfalfa strips, to receive mulch harvested from the alfalfa strips. After three years, the alfalfa strips would be rotated with the cropped strips.

Whether this system is feasible depends, in part, on how the mulch affects the annual crops.”

Wiens established alfalfa strips between wheat strips and then applied green chopped alfalfa in three sets of plots at three different rates of application. Like Fernholz, he also had a control plot with no mulch.

Plots were established at four of the University of Manitoba’s research stations.

“N uptake and wheat yields increased as mulch application rates increased,” Wiens wrote. “Wheat receiving the 2x mulch rates at both the early and late application timings produced yields almost twice that of the control (31.8 vs. 16.5 bushels per acre), equivalent to yields produced with 36 and 54 pounds per acre of inorganic N fertilizer.”

A strip farming system may be the best way to deliver alfalfa mulch to organic grain crops. Alfalfa could be grown in strips across a field for three years to maximize its soil-building benefits.

— Matthew Wiens Wiens noted that a light alfalfa mulch actually stimulated weed germination whereas the heavier mulching rates seemed to depress weed germination but not wheat germination.

“If practical methods of field-scale application can be developed, using alfalfa as mulch will be an avenue for "straight-grain" organic farmers to increase alfalfa acreage in order to capture its soil building benefits,” Wiens wrote.

Farm decisions Fernholz, who did have a field-scale application method, chose not to adapt the mulch-for-N system after his grant

expired. He feels that the approach has potential but that a system to apply the mulch more evenly needs to be developed. He also believes that the time required to harvest and apply the nitrogen-as-alfalfa is too great. Finally, with high alfalfa prices, the nitrogen obtained was fairly expensive.

“One can estimate that there are about 55 to 60 pounds of nitrogen in a good ton of alfalfa,” he said. “As a result we are looking at lots of dry alfalfa to meet the nitrogen needs. One can use green chop alfalfa which is much higher in protein but then the issue becomes all of the time, effort and equipment necessary to accomplish it. We need to address the overall cost,” he said.

Researchers in the University of Minnesota’s Agronomy and Soil Science Departments have continued the work Fernholz began on alfalfa mulch as a source of nitrogen. They did not respond to requests for information about their research. ❖

“The Secretary of Agriculture announced that slightly over 23,000 dairy farmers signed up for the margin insurance program. Now however, nearly one half of those producers signed up for the minimum coverage of $4 per hundredweight.

Allegedly, there are 46,000 dairy farmers in the United States. These figures mean that between 34-35,000 dairy farmers did not sign up for the program, or took only the minimum coverage. This is a long ways from being a real exciting support for the program.

Meyer: Cheese prices tank to lowest level in two years MIELKE, from pg. 13 will be able to manage their farms better, and consumers will see less fluctuation in prices in the grocery stores.”

Tewksbury goes on to ask, “Has anyone told Mr. Peterson that all dairy farmers are still going to be paid under the same ill-fated formula that they have for many years? Has anyone told the members of Congress that nearly 50 percent of the cost on a dairy farm will not be affected by the margin insurance program? Has anyone told the Congress that milk prices will still be unstable in the grocery stores? It is time dairy farmers get stirred up and realize your cost on your farms will not be covered on a continued basis until you dairymen begin to support a new pricing formula based on the national average cost of production.”

■ USDA has lowered its 2014 and 2015 milk production estimates from a month ago in the World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report issued Monday, based on a lower growth in cow numbers and milk per cow. The 2014 production and marketings were projected at 206.0 billion

and 205.0 billion respectively. Both are down 200 million pounds from last month. If realized, 2014 production and marketings would be up 2.4 percent from 2013.

The 2015 production and marketings were projected at 211.7 billion pounds and 210.7 billion, respectively. The milk production estimate is down 500 million pounds from a month ago while the milk marketings estimate is down 600 million. If realized, 2015 production and marketings would be up about 2.8 percent.

The 2015 Class III milk price average is expected to range $16.20-$17/cwt., down 35 cents from last month’s estimate, and compares to $22.34 in 2014, $17.99 in 2013, and $17.44 in 2012.

The 2015 Class IV price average, at $15.60-$16.50/cwt., is down 85 cents from a month ago, and compares to $22.09 in 2014 and $19.05 in 2013.

October 2014 packaged fluid milk sales totaled 4.38 billion pounds, down 2.9 percent from October 2013. October sales of conventional products, at 4.17 billion pounds, were down 3.5 percent from a year ago. Organic products, at 215 million pounds, were up 10.7 per-

cent and represented about 4.9 percent of total sales for the month. January-October packaged fluid milk sales, at 41.59 billion pounds, were down 2.9 percent from a year earlier. Year-to-date sales of conventional products, at 39.52 billion pounds, were down 3.5 percent; organic products, at 2.1 billion, were up 10.1 percent. Organic represented about 4.96 percent of total sales.

■ Cash cheese prices crashed the second full week of the New Year. The Cheddar blocks closed Friday at the lowest price since Feb. 27, 2012, at $1.47 per pound, down 12 cents on the week, 76 cents below a year ago, and 98 cents below the record high hit in September 2014. The Cheddar barrels gained a nickel Monday, plunged 15.25 cents Wednesday, regained 1.75 Thursday and lost a penny Friday to finished at $1.45, down 9.5 cents on the week, 75.25 cents below a year ago, and $1.04 below their September record high. Six cars of block and 13 of barrel traded hands on the week. The lagging National Dairy Products Sales Reportsurveyed U.S. average block price fell to $1.5984 per pound, down 1.4 cents, and the barrels averaged $1.5322, down 3.5 cents.

Midwest cheese manufacturing is “hunkered down, moving milk through the plants,” according to Dairy Market News. Inventory levels and sales vary plant to plant. Some plants have lower sales than recent weeks, which resulted in inventory levels increasing.

Other plants feel milk intakes are balanced with output and are comfortable with the current production/sales/ inventory situation.

Spot milk supplies and discounts are less evident although some plants are balancing extra milk into cheese. Most production schedules are back closer to normal as the holiday weeks fade into the past. Early year uncertainty about market price signals now must process the first Chicago Mercantile Exchange cheese price decreases of 2015 on Wednesday. The sudden magnitude of lower prices was not an unexpected trend considering present conditions and factors looking ahead.

Cheese imports are challenging domestic cheese production. Global Trade Information Services reports European cheese exports for October to the United States were 25 percent higher than year-ago levels.

Cash butter closed Friday at $1.55, up a penny on the week, 30.25 cents below a year ago when it jumped almost 18 cents, and is $1.51 below its record September 2014 peak. Only one car traded hands on the week. NDPSR butter averaged $1.5558 per pound, down 6.1 cents.

Cream continues to be readily available within the Midwest and from other regions at advantageous pricing for butter churn operators, reports Dairy Market News. A few manufacturers elected to sell some cream loads.

Butter production remains strong with some plants running full schedules.

Print sales have slowed, but continue at levels that are limiting stock building. Export orders are picking up and the market tone is steady, according to Dairy Market News.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk dropped to 95-cents per pound, down 3.75 cents this week, following a 1.25 cent decline last week. The powder is at the lowest it has been since Aug. 4, 2009. NDPSR powder averaged $1.0618, down 8.4 cents, and dry whey averaged 58.85 cents per pound, down a half-cent.

The farmer-funded Cooperatives Working Together accepted 28 requests for export assistance this week in its first 2015 announcement to sell 2.99 million pounds of Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese and 11.68 million pounds of 82 percent butter to customers in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. The product will be delivered through July 2015 to nine countries on four continents and are the equivalent of 290.5 million pounds of milk on a milkfat basis.

■ So, how low will cheese prices go? We posed the question to HighGround Dairy’s Eric Meyer in Friday’s DairyLine. Meyer responded by pointing out that the block cheese price was at the lowest level in over two years on Jan. 14.

“The world markets have been telegraphing this move in the U.S. for some time and unfortunately for producers, joining that party.” He warns that we may not have seen the bottom yet.

Meyer issued his forecasts last week and, when asked about the low point on cheese, he said he sees the $1.30s as a possibility.

mine potential ARC-CO program payments for each crop for that year. Benchmark revenues for each crop will be determined by the multiplying the olympic average county-level yield times the average MYA price for the most recent five years The olympic average drops the highest and lowest yields and prices during the five year period, and averages the other three. The county benchmark yields, five-year average MYA prices, and benchmark revenues are adjusted each year.

The ARC-CO program guarantee for a given crop is 86 percent of the calculated county benchmark revenue for that year. ARC-CO payments for a given crop will occur when the actual county revenue (county yield x MYA price) for the year falls below the annual county revenue guarantee for that crop.

The maximum ARC-CO payments are 10 percent of the county benchmark revenue per acre for a crop.

ARC-CO payments will be paid on 85 percent of eligible crop base acres for a given crop, and payments can occur for an eligible crop even if that crop was not raised in a particular year.

2014 benchmark prices for the ARC-CO program are $5.29 per bushel for corn and $12.27 per bushel for soybeans, which will also likely be the ARC-CO benchmark prices for the 2015 crop year. If future crop prices remain at current levels or lower, the ARC-CO benchmark prices for corn and soybeans are likely to decline significantly in 2016, 2017 and 2018.

Those currently involved in doing cash flow planning are currently wondering what amount if any can be included in a cash flow projection for estimated farm program payments from the 2014 corn and soybean crop, and possibly for the 2015 crop year. There are many variables that factor in to the calculation of potential farm program payments; however, by knowing a few of the basics, a person can make a reasonable estimate of potential payments for 2014, as well as possibly for 2015.

Following are some key things a person needs to know for farm program payment estimates: • What is the number of base acres for each eligible crop?

Potential payments for all farm program options are based on crop base acres, and the payment potential varies considerably among the various crops.

• What is the payment yield ?

The Price Loss Coverage program uses either the established counter-cyclical yields or the updated FSA payment yields. Ag Risk Coverage-County uses the olympic average of the county average yield for the past five years (2009-2013) for 2014 crop year as a benchmark yield. Ag Risk Coverage-Individual

A good estimate for ARC-IC payments is to take the ARC-CO payment estimates at the same yield level and to reduce them by 25 percent, and then to prorate the ARC-IC payments based on the percentage of planted acres in a given year. The 25 percent reduction is due to the ARC-IC payments only being made on 65 percent of crop base acres, rather than on 85 percent.

Grain Outlook Market focus turns to weather

Just over three months ago commodity prices hit lows not seen in years. Some advisers were suggesting producers hold onto corn and soybeans because better prices were to come. Today corn futures are 60 to 70 cents a bushel higher than March futures were on Oct. 1, 2014.

We are definitely experiencing “better” corn prices, but have we made any additional sales since October? Or do we simply keep moving our targets up or down as markets continually fluctuate?

This is one dilemma that many, if not most, producers face when a written marketing plan is not created and executed.

KURT LENSING If I sell 2014 or 2015 corn near $4 AgStar Assistant VP Industry Specialist today, do I want the market to go andWaite Park, Minn. up or down? This question is difficult for many, but it doesn’t have to be. If I sell and the market declines I may feel great about my last sale, but what about the remainder of my production? Likewise if the market goes up after I sell, do I have additional bushels I can sell at an incremental profit? No matter how you look at it, it’s important to think of grain marketing as risk management.

How can I reduce my risk throughout the marketing year and remain comfortable with my decisions?

For example, if you do not have any of your 2015 crop marketed today, you are likely under the opinion that prices will go up.

The next question is a challenging one: Are you willing to bet 100 percent of your 2015 production on that higher-priced assumption? If you decide that maybe you are only 70 percent sure prices will increase, it may be reasonable to consider how you See LENSING, pg. 18

Well the livestock markets started off the new year with some its own fireworks, especially in the cattle market. It seems the volatility that has been present as of late will continue in the livestock markets. The struggle of supply versus demand is still an important factor in weeks ahead.

The best word to describe the cattle market is “explosive.” The first week of January saw the cash market act extremely strong, with cattle trading as high as $172 — $4 higher than the previous week.

At the same time the beef cutout made a very good advance, with the boxed beef movement improving from a lackluster holiday trade.

JOE TEALE Broker While these advances were taking place, the futures market Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. advanced into previous resistance well below the current trade in the cash market. After struggling for several days at this resistance level, the futures began to see some liquidation that drove the futures sharply lower. By Friday the market had come under severe pressure finishing with limit losses in the nearby months. This put the futures contracts extremely discount to the latest cash prices at that point.

Several factors were noticed to create such a sell off. It appeared that funds were liquidating their recent long positions, and margin call selling ensued as traders just wanted to vacate their long positions.

The other factor ever-present is the fact that the futures market is always anticipating the next move instead of the current market.

It would appear that some in the trade are afraid that demand has at least equalized with the tight See TEALE, pg. 18

The following market analysis is for the week ending Jan. 16.

CORN — With the final 2014-15 crop report and Grain Stocks as of Dec. 1 report behind us, the market’s focus will be South American weather, rate of demand, and 2015 growing intentions.

Let’s first recap the reports that pushed March corn back to mid-November levels for a 13 1⁄4 cent loss for the week to settle at $3.87 per bushel. The December contract settled 6 3⁄4 cents lower at $4.14 3⁄4 per bushel.

The final 2014-15 balance sheet included production of PHYLLIS NYSTROM 14.22 billion bushels, down 191 CHS Hedging Inc. million bushels from December St. Paul and 130 million bushels under the average guess. This was the largest November to final production drop on many analysts’ databases.

This was achieved by dropping planted acreage 300,000 acres from 90.9 to 90.6 million acres; lowering yield by 2.4 bushels per acre from 173.4 to 171.0 bu./acre and a slightly smaller four-million-bushel carry-in. Minnesota’s corn yield decreased from the last report by 9 bu./acre to 156 bu./acre.

On the usage side, feed-residual was dropped 100 million bushels, ethanol usage raised 25 million and exports left unchanged at 1.75 billion bushels. Carryout fell 121 million bushels from 1.998 billion bushels to 1.877 billion bushels. The average estimate for the carryout was 1.927 billion bushels and last year’s ending stocks were 1.232 billion bushels. The stocks to use ratio fell from 14.6 percent to 13.8 percent.

Soybeans will be challenged by record S.A. crop NYSTROM, from pg. 17 The average on-farm price was increased by 15 cents to a range of $3.35 to $3.95 per bushel. Grain stocks as of Dec. 1 were 11.203 billion bushels which was 80 million bushels higher than the trade estimate and is 750 million bushels higher than last year. World ending stocks for 2014-15 were 189.2 million metric tons, down from the December 192.20 mmt number.

Brazilian and Argentine corn production were unchanged at 75 mmt and 22 mmt respectively.

The Farm Service Agency released their final acreage program report this week indicating 86.505 million acres of corn were entered into government programs in 2014-15. This is an historically large discrepancy to U.S. Department of Agriculture acres of 4.1 million acres (USDA is 90.6 million planted acres). Prevented planted acres were 1.608 million.

Weekly export inspections were slightly better than trade expectations at 32.2 million bushels for old crop and 1 million for new crop. Weekly export sales need to average 21 million bushels per week to hit the USDA’s 1.75 billion bushel expectation. There was trade chatter during the week that South Korea bought up to seven cargoes of corn from Ukraine this week and only one cargo from the U.S. gulf. The USDA announced corn sales in their daily reporting system everyday Tuesday through Friday this week.

Informa Economics published their 2015-16 planting intentions this week. They are pegging corn acres at 88.6 million acres, up from their December survey estimate of 88.0 million acres. In 2014, U.S. growers planted 90.6 million acres.

OUTLOOK: The market now needs to find a rea-

son to buy. Ethanol crush margins have moved into the red, gasoline is cheaper than ethanol, Argentine farmers are undersold and funds are holding a long position. First support for nearby corn is $3.70-$3.75 with resistance near $4.07 per bushel. The slightly bullish 2014-15 crop report has been traded. The corn reports this week weren’t totally bearish, but 1.877 billion bushels is a more than adequate carryout and lower trends in beans and wheat may limit what corn can attempt on its own to the upside.

SOYBEANS — As we once again headed into a holiday-shortened week, soybeans gave back all of the previous week’s gains in post report trading that left 2014-15 ending stocks unchanged at 410 million bushels and China canceled U.S. soybean purchases.

The range of ending stocks estimates was 355-452 million bushels with the average guess at 393 million bushels. At 3.969 million bushels, 2014-15 soybean production was near last month’s 3.958 million bushel figure and the trade estimate of 3.97 billion bushels. The 11 million bushel November to final production number gain was the smallest increase since 1975. Planted acreage was dropped one-half million to 83.7 million acres, harvested acres were cut 200,000 acres and yield was increased 0.3 bu./acre from 47.5 bu./acre to 47.8 bu./acre. Minnesota’s soybean yield was unchanged from the last report at 42 bu./acre.

On the usage side of the balance sheet, exports were raised 10 million to 1.77 billion bushels and residual was cut 1 million for ending stocks of 410 million bushels. The stocks-to-use ratio remained at 11.2 percent. The on-farm price was increased on the lower end by 45 cents and cut on the upper end by a

Hog market continues its descent TEALE, from pg. 17 supply of cattle and may further suffer as competitive meat prices continue to drop. Regardless, it now would appear the cattle market may have made a major top back in the month of October. Therefore, producers should become more cognizant of market conditions and be prudent about protecting inventories.

On the other hand, the hog market almost seems benign in comparison. Cash prices have continued their descent as the new year got under way and have not yet ceased. The outlook continues to show a fair amount of hogs; however the price decline has slowed which may indicate there is increasing inter-

est by packers in acquiring inventory since their margins are positive. The supply-demand scenario is just the opposite for the hogs to the cattle. The supply is more than adequate to meet the demand for pork.

One major problem for the demand for pork is the export market in recent months. The strength in the U.S. dollar has slowed foreign buyers as the dollar has increased in value. However domestic demand has held fairly well and could increase in the months ahead since, from a value standpoint, pork is a good value in comparison to competitive meats. Producers should remain current and keep a watchful eye on market conditions and protect inventories as needed. ❖

Soybean stocks as of Dec. 1 were 2.52 billion bushels, slightly under the 2.59 billion bushel trade projection. This is 288 million more bushels than last year. World ending stocks were 90.8 mmt compared to the 89.87 mmt on December’s report. Brazil’s soybean production rose from 94 mmt to 95.5 mmt and Argentina’s number was unchanged at 55 mmt.

China’s import forecast was steady at 74 mmt.

The FSA’s 2014-15 planted soybean acres were updated to 81.757 million acres compared to USDA’s 83.701 million planted acres, a difference of 1.9 million acres. Prevented soybean planted acres were 842,000 acres. Informa Economics updated their 2015 U.S. soybean planted acreage forecast to 88 million acres, down from their 88.8 million acre projection last month. In 2014, U.S. farmers planted 83.7 million acres.

An unexpected 285,000-metric-ton soybean sale cancellation by China caught the market off-guard this week. Is this the beginning of more? Weekly export sales commitments are 92 percent of the USDA forecast when 85 percent is normal, but with the Chinese cancellation, ideas for further increases in export projections may be muted. Weekly export sales were 41.6 million bushels for old crop and 11.2 million bushels for new crop. The overall number was better than anticipated. Weekly sales only need to average 5.7 million bushels to hit the new 1.77 billion bushel export forecast.

Adding to the negative news this week was the December National Oilseed Processors Association crush report. The December crush at 165.383 million bushels was just short of the all-time monthly record of 165.385 million bushels set in December 2013, but it was under the 167 million bushel trade estimate.

The South American weather situation may make the headlines every few days, but in general it’s fine.

The caveat is their weather still needs to be monitored for hot, dry weather as the crop finishes. In general any harm to yield would be minimal, but perception is reality. South American growers, however, remain behind in their selling. This pushes more bushels to be sold into a smaller selling window. Keep in mind we’re looking at record crops in South America this year. There are thoughts that the USDA is underestimating Brazilian soybean exports this year at 46 mmt. Late February should be the peak of the Brazilian harvest. Brazil’s beans are currently priced lower than U.S. soybeans for as early as February.

OUTLOOK: Technically, March soybeans began the week with a key reversal lower, which was again confirmed on Thursday. March soybeans crashed 60 1⁄2 cents lower this week to close at $9.91 3⁄4 per bushel, their lowest close since late October. The November contract lost 44 1⁄4 cents per bushel to close at $9.75 1⁄4 per bushel. March soymeal fell $22.90 per ton to $326.20 and bean oil dropped .29 points to 33.39 for the week. The next support in March soybeans is likely the harvest low at $9.20 3⁄4 per bushel with resistance back near the $10.30 per bushel level. Soybean prices will be challenged by a developing record crop from South America on the cusp of harvest, a huge U.S. carryout number and increasing world stocks. ❖

Waterbeds offer comfort, longevity to dairy cows

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Waterbeds are coming back — not for people, for cows. Dairy farmers were talking about cow waterbeds at the Minnesota Dairy Expo in St. Cloud. Mark Misch, Midwest sales representative for Dual Chamber Waterbeds, explained what’s so spe- Mark Misch cial about waterbeds for cows.

“Cows get a custom fit every time they lay down,” said Misch, who works out of DCC Waterbeds in Reedsburg, Wis. The water contained in each bed surrounds each animal so a cow’s hocks aren’t sawing back and forth which tends to happen when cows are laying on a flat surface.

It’s on par with sand bedding without the continuous replenishing that’s needed with sand, said Misch.

In 1999, Dean Throndsen, CEO of Advanced Comfort Technology brought waterbeds for cows from Europe to the North American dairy industry. The large single bladder filled with water had potential, but Throndsen saw flaws in the design. In 2003, he patented the dual chamber cow waterbed. Two chambers provides additional stability and comfort

for the knees and hocks.

And this added comfort apparently adds to a cow’s life. Misch showed data involving 100 fourth lactation cows on waterbeds with about six percent improved longevity.

“So you’d have six less cows to replace versus sand or flat mats,” said Misch.

DCC Waterbeds are sold with 10-year warranties but Misch said the company’s waterbeds are 20 years old in some Wisconsin barns.

“We’ve got hundreds of thousands of waterbeds out in over 30 countries around the world. Holland is a huge market. So to is Taiwan, Indonesia, New Zealand ... wherever there are sizeable numbers of dairy cattle,” he said.

A DCC Waterbed costs about $250 to $300 per cow depending upon the installation. For example, a tie stall barn might be slightly higher because there would be more posts to cut around and more total time doing the job.

Upon order, shipment and installation can begin in about a week. DCC Waterbeds keeps an inventory of 5,000 waterbeds on hand at their Mondovi, Wis., warehouse so beds could be shipped within a week with install starting just as soon as a crew is available.

REMODELING, EXPANSION OR REPLACEMENT

“We like to have one of our installers go out and get that farmer properly started. After that most farmers can handle this job. They would need the special fill meter from a local dealer. This device measures the right amount of water for each bladder,” he explained.

Cow waterbeds are not relegated to large dairy herds.

Misch knows of Amish farmers in the Marshfield, Wis., area putting in just three beds. They liked the results.

“They started installing 10 at a time until they had their 70-cow barn totally equipped. I have a dealer in that area who now has installed over 700 beds and most of his customers are Amish farmers.

“We’re in the process of waterbeds for a 4,500-cow operation in South Dakota. We’ve got an 800waterbed barn in western Minnesota; a 1,200-bed install near Green Bay. So it’s been a good year. Obviously stronger milk prices are spurring the adoption of waterbeds,” said Misch.

Misch also recommends some sawdust or straw sprinkled over the waterbeds, but not sand; sand would be abrasive.

“I suggest about a gallon of sawdust or straw or bean stubble on each waterbed,” said Misch.

Salfer: Robotic milking systems on few farms

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

SALFER, from g. 19 “Perhaps the primary reason cow numbers stay down is because cull cow prices are so high,” said Salfer. “It they have any issues with particular cows, dairy farmers are moving them to market rather quickly these days. And that may help temper some of these price drops in milk. It’s easy to sell a cow when she’s worth $1,500.”

Cheaper feed prices and more aggressive culling is also slightly boosting milk productivity per cow.

Robotic systems are still only on a small percentage of dairies in Minnesota.

I’m sayto be a tremening 50 to 70 Mindous amount of nesota farms are now interest in robotic but with 4,000 going robotic, dairy farms in the by both older state, it’s still a small dairy farmers percentage,” Salfer said. “But there conthinking they tinues to be a tremencan coax a few dous amount of intermore years out est in going robotic, by of their own both older dairy farmbodies, and by ers thinking they can coax a few more years younger out of their own bodies ‘wanna-bes’ and by younger thinking this ‘wanna-bes’ thinking might be an this might be an easeasier way to ier way to get into this get into this milk production business.” milk production business.

Grabbing some recent headlines is the — Jim Salfer announcement of an 8,000-cow dairy in Kandiyohi County.

This will be a business adjunct of the 20,000cow River View Dairy southwest of Morris, Minn.

“They are a very good dairy business,” said Salfer.

“Their dairy facilities gleam with cleanliness; they’re great with neighbor relations; their stewardship is exemplary. I think they’ve been a role model of environmental cohesiveness. Their concerns about how to work with neighbors sets the stage for all of us. They listen to the concerns of neighbors’ and they address those concerns accordingly. They just do a great job.”

Despite a few of these “biggies” on the Minnesota landscape, according to 2013 Minnesota Agricultural Statistics, the Gopher State still ranks sixth nationally in number of milk cows. In order, the top five states are California, Wisconsin, New York, Idaho and Pennsylvania. ❖

Dairy farmers move nine times; one more likely

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Duane and Louise Holker of Litchfield, Minn., are a bit unusual in the agricultural world. They’ve moved nine times since their start as dairy farmers. When a dairy farmer moves it’s not just tractors and field implements but also cows, calves and milking equipment.

“My dad sold his cows when I was in the 8th grade,” said Duane.

But there were still four heifers on Duane’s family farm in Beardsley, Minn., on the South Dakota border.

“My dad said to me ‘If you want to be a dairy farmer, you can start with those four heifers.’ So I started milk-

Louise and Duane Holker are nomadic dairy farmers, having moved home and herd nine times across Miinnesota. have been together ever since,” said Duane.

Louise hadn’t exactly been dreaming of marrying a dairy farmer.

“No, I didn’t. I wanted to marry a farmer. It was okay if he had cows but at that time I was scared of dairy cows.

I soon got over that,” said Louise.

Duane and Louise married in 1981.

Their second move was to a nearby farm Duane’s dad had purchased from his mother.

“And again Dad said to me, ‘If you want to get a start on your own, you can move to that farm, fix that barn up

and expand some more,’” said Duane.

He and his dad did some fixing. They set up that old barn to handle 40 cows.

That was one year after graduating from high school.

“So we were milking 40 cows on what was originally my father’s home farm.

We were there from 1980 to 1995 and expanded that farm up to 75 cows,” said Duane.

During that 15-year span, dairying wasn’t exactly profitable; $10 milk was fairly common but $12 milk did happen occasionally. Making a buck wasn’t easy.

<< MILKER’S MESSAGE >>

THE LAND, JANUARY 23, 2015

Faith, friends, hard work pulled dairyers through

MOVE, from pg. 23 continued with their big help. It was a God-send that these younger folks and other neighbors were there to help when we desperately needed help,” said Louise.

There were challenges, but one of heaven’s angels decided to wrap its wings around the Holkers. A neighbor, Vernon Matheis who is a contractor said to Duane, “Let’s get you into a parlor.” Matheis and Holker went to work and again in two weeks there was a new parlor.

“We put a double-7 parbone inside a building that measured 22 feet wide and 32 feet long. We built in a milk room; even found space for a utility room.

And we did an outside holding pen. The building was a Lester’s Calf Nursery originally,” said Duane.

That was move number seven.

“We brought our cows home. Got them used to our new little parlor. We were at about 200 cows then.

We'd sold off some cows because there wasn’t enough room anymore after the fire. We did that from 2009 until September 2011. At that point, finances caught up with us. Corn was too expensive; milk was too cheap. We were buying all our feed so the cards were stacked,” said Duane.

So a total ‘sell out’ in September 2011. Again one of those Holker angels intervened.

“Our veterinarian was running a dairy and she asked if we would be interested in managing her dairy. So we moved over there and managed her 90cow dairy. It was like a breathing spell for Louise and me after all our various stresses the previous

I’ve always had a passion for dairy farming. We love our Lord. We follow him and he tells us where to go.

— Duane Holker

months. We were still in Meeker County so still felt at home.”

That was Move number eight.

“We worked there for one year than a friend at Danube, Minn., asked if we wanted to come down and join his gang for a stint until we could get going on our own once again. We had known Odie (Jansen) for several years. He knew about our situation. It sounded like an opportunity. We worked with Odie and his crew for two years … he had approximately 160-170 cow dairy and let us build up some of our own cow numbers again.

“But soon the same situation like we experienced at the Greg Jans place … too many cows and not enough space,” said Duane.

Starting over The couple agreed it was time to make another move back into a place of their own. Meeker County farmer Paul Schilling was looking for someone to rent his dairy barn.

“We always longed to move back to Meeker County

because we love the area so much. Also our feed guy Brian Carlson wanted us to come back here,” said Duane.

That dreaded stray voltage challenge flared up on the Schilling farm. Even after trying several corrective measures, he finally decided to call it quits. But those electrical issues were later corrected when the local utility put in a new power line to the farm.

Duane said that he, Schilling and Carlson together prayed about this next decision, which would be move number nine. Now the Holkers were losing some amenities. This barn didn’t have a parlor. They were back to tie-stalls and pipeline milking.

“Back to how we started,” smiled Louise.

Schilling owns 40 cows; Duane and Louise 26 cows currently. They have 7 milking units. Lots of bending and squatting and standing so lots of exercise for Duane, now 52, and Louise, 51. These milking nomads named the farm Shuffle Dairy.

“We’re going to try to make this work out for us and Paul Schilling. I don’t have any plans to move on, at least not at this point,” said Duane.

His wife however noted, “Yes, there will be one more move. We’re currently living in an apartment in Litchfield. We’d like to be into a house of our own.”

And that would be move number 10.

“I’ve always had a passion for dairy farming. We love our Lord. We follow him and he tells us where to go,” said Duane.

Duane and Louise Holker were interviewed by The Land at the Minnesota Dairy Expo, St. Cloud, in December. ❖

Dairy in 'bust' part of economic cycle The Associated Press MADISON, Wis. — Milk sales set records in 2014, but plummeting prices are forcing some dairy farmers to spill the surplus down the drain.

Already disheartened by the current glut, which is due to global factors and overproduction, dairy farmers say they worry that futures markets predict dwindling prices in 2015. Over in the dairy aisle, though, shoppers are milking savings by the gallon.

“I guess I’m sorry if I’m hurting the farmer or the middleman, but I’m certainly delighted to pay under $3 a gallon,” said Michael Kleinhenz, of Madison, Wisconsin.

Dairy farmers recognize the volatility of the industry. Less than a year ago, they struggled to meet global demand and milk prices climbed to record highs — about $25 per hundredweight, according to Mark Stephenson, director of dairy policy analysis at the University of Wisconsin.

So, many farmers bought new equipment and expanded their herds to meet demand. But when China pulled back on its dairy imports after stockpiling milk powder and Russia imposed sanctions against the United States by halting trade, dairy farmers nationwide were left with a surplus, Stephenson said.

“We were told to bring everything to a screeching halt,” said Norbert Hardtke, director of milk marketing at Family First Dairy Cooperative in Madison, Wisconsin.

Every state has some dairy production, but California and Wisconsin anchor the country’s supply. The milk glut reached its peak in the Northeast over the holidays, when cooperatives asked farms to pour out some of their milk.

“It’s something that no farmer likes to do ... it doesn’t feel good to just dump it out,” New York-based Northeast Dairy Producers Association board director Jon Greenwood said.

With an excess of milk in the international market, prices for milk, butter and milk powder continue to drop. Market predictions for 2015 look worse, Hardtke said, as prices are expected to drop through the spring — about $13.50 per hundredweight in March. Dairy Farmers of America, a national marketing cooperative, has started charging its 15,000 members 50 cents per hundredweight to account for additional transportation fees and low prices.

The boom-and-bust cycle is just part of the business, said Greenwood, who farms in Canton, New York. He said feed prices are low, “so things are not as bad as they could be.” ❖

Diesel drop felt in numerous ways

By TIM KROHN Mankato (Minn.) Free Press MANKATO, Minn. — Motorists aren’t the only ones smiling when they pull their pickup or car up to the gas pump these days.

“It’s a win-win for us and our customers,” said Wade Volk, operations manager of Volk Transfer in Mankato about the falling fuel prices.

While gasoline drives most American autos, diesel fuel drives much of the economy. And while the decline in diesel prices hasn’t been as big as that of gasoline, even a small change makes a big difference.

“Diesel didn’t trend at all with unleaded (gasoline).

But when you compare the two, it’s really apples and oranges,” Volk said. “With a bigger (semi) fleet, a few cents can equal substantial savings.” Big rigs generally get about 7 to 7 1/2 mpg and their fuel tanks hold between 125 and 200 gallons.

Diesel prices were around $4 a gallon or higher since early 2012 but are now below $3 in the Mankato market.

Lower fuel prices are aiding a wide variety of businesses and their customers, from landscaping businesses and furniture movers to stores and manufacturing plants that are paying less to move materials and goods.

Even the power boat industry expects a boost. The

John Cross/Mankato Free Press

D.J. Gossen of Green Bay, Wis., tops off the tanks on his 18-wheeler with diesel priced below $3 a gallon Jan. 19 in Mankato, Minn.

National Marine Manufacturers Association is forecasting powerboat sales will be up 5 percent this year, as consumers have a little extra money in their pockets and the thought of filling up a gas tank on a high-speed boat seems a little less daunting.

Oftentimes the fuel savings is a greater benefit for customers than a business’ bottom line.

Jerry Pietz, owner of Kato Moving and Storage, said many businesses charge a fuel surcharge to customers, so when prices are high, customers pay more and when fuel prices are down, customers pay less.

“It comes back to us the same either way.”

On interstate moves, a fuel surcharge formula approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission determines what the fuel surcharge will be, based on current prices.

“It affects customers more than us. For a customer, on an 1,800-mile trip their (fuel-related) costs are maybe lowered by a third.”

For local moves, Pietz said the fuel cost is a negligible factor in the cost of a move.

Aid sought to buy homes with river erosion risk

THE LAND, JANUARY 23, 2015 Pat Christman/Mankato Free Press

Just a trickle in January, the Le Sueur River has eroded river bluffs into steep cliffs following multiple heavy floods. Homes above the river, including the lighter colored one on the left, may be purchased and demolished with federal disaster assistance to keep them from plunging into the river.

ing the homes, but a house-moving firm said the task would be difficult because of the style of the homes and the proximity of the sheer cliff.

“They didn’t feel it was practical or even safe,” Forsberg said.

The odds of the grant being approved appear strong.

“Every indication we’ve received is the application is appropriate and very well done,” Forsberg said.

That doesn’t mean it will prompt a quick decision by the bureaucracy. Another month of waiting is likely.

The county went through a similar process five years ago, serving as the fiscal agent and construction manager when the Dick and Pat Hasher home near Garden City had to be removed when it was threatened by erosion from the Watonwan River in 2010.

The number of bureaucratic hoops appears to have increased since then.

“As the years have gone by and there have been some abuses around the country, FEMA has tightened up their process,” Forsberg said.

See EROSION, pg. 30

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

If the grant application is successful, the Federal Emergency Management Agency will pay 75 percent of the appraised value of the properties and 75 percent of the cost of the demolition and removal, the closing of wells, the filling of basements and grading.

The Munsens and Mellieses will be responsible for the remaining 25 percent.

Appraisals won’t be done until after FEMA approves the grant, but the assessed values of the Munsen and Mellies properties are $199,300 and $173,400, respectively, according to county tax records. If the appraised values matched the assessed values, the FEMA payments would be about $149,500 and $130,000 for each home — minus the 25 percent property owner share of the demolition, disposal and clean-up costs.

Both families agreed to accept those terms before the grants were formally submitted, Forsberg said.

‘So many emotions’ The Mellies didn’t respond to requests by The Free Press for comment. David Munsen said it was too difficult to talk about the looming loss of his longtime home.

“There are so many emotions involved,” Munsen said.

By MARK FISCHENICH Mankato (Minn.) Free Press MANKATO, Minn. — Foul weather last June produced a lightning bolt that propelled a tree limb through the wall of a Mankato home, blew over buildings in the Mapleton area, caused hillsides to slide into houses near Henderson, and unleashed torrential rains that quickly flooded houses and businesses in the area.

For a rural Mankato neighborhood, the torrential downpours and resulting high river levels were just another in a series of body blows that threaten to send homes toppling over a cliff into the Le Sueur River. Two homes in particular are on the precipice.

“There is an imminent threat to these homes,” said Blue There is an Earth County Public imminent threat Works Director Al to these homes.

County Road 41 southeast of — Al Forsberg Mankato. Decades of erosion have turned the bluffs into sheer cliffs, and the recordsetting rains of June caused more of the remaining cushion between the cliff edge and the houses to disappear.

Another sudden sloughing away of the top of the cliff could take the houses over the edge and plunging as much as 60 feet into the river.

“It very well could happen this spring or, if not, the following spring,” Forsberg said.

‘They’re our citizens’ While most federal disaster aid addresses damage already caused by a storm, the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program offers grants to state and local governments to reduce the loss of life and property from longterm hazards after a federally declared major disaster.

The homeowners — Carol and James Mellies and David and Tamy Munsen — came to the county after seeing most of their remaining backyards disappear after the June rains. While the county isn’t offering any financial assistance, it agreed to seek funding from the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, serve as the fiscal agent, and supervise the demolition and removal of the buildings.

“They’re our citizens, so we’re interested in helping them,” Forsberg said. “And there’s an environmental concern because you don’t want these homes falling into the river.”

It’s far from a cost-free fix for the homeowners, Forsberg said, beyond the trauma of losing their home. The Munsens bought their home 20 years ago, the Mellieses six.

“They have to pay what the federal and state governments won’t pay, which is a substantial difference,” he said.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Uprooting an elderly loved one and moving them into your home is difficult enough, but add to that the resistance you may receive, and the caregiving becomes an allencompassing activity.

Your loved one’s natural tendency is to resist care and assistance, if only because they do not want to think of themselves as old or frail.

Often caregivers will become easily angered and irritated at the thought of a loved one refusing care and this conflict can be very damaging to the entire caregiver-care recipient experience. Understanding the stress and loss of independence your loved one faces when they give up their home is the first step in easing the tense situation.

Here are a few other ideas that may be helpful if you are experiencing any resistance in your daily caregiving.

She will resolve to take better care of her husband by suggesting more firmly that he go to a doctor when necessary, then see to it that he extracts himself from the farm to go to an appointment. The farm wife runs many errands, but since his teeth and other samples they need are inside of him, there is only so much she can do about running that errand for him.

Finally, she resolves to stop making promises.

Then look for “Extraordinary Goats” by Janet Hurst, Dennis Pernu, Darwin Holstrom, Brad Kessler, Elizabeth Noll and Steve Roth. It’s an easyto-read, fun, sidebar-filled book about goats in history, mythology, folklore, farms, and religion. Bonus: pictures. Lots of ’em!

Also look for “The Call of the Farm” by Rochelle Bilow, the story of a woman who got “hooked” on a day in the life of a farm — so much so, that she left behind her big-city life in order to be a country girl for a year. What she found, well ... read the book.

Look for the reviewed book at a bookstore or a library near you. You may also find the book at online book retailers.

The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Terri has been reading since she was 3 years old and never goes anywhere without a book. She lives in Wisconsin with three dogs and 10,000 books. ❖

Tell them the stress and workload you face and their understanding and willingness to resist you in the future may be lessened. They will look at it as an opportunity to help you in the process of them receiving the aid.

• Work up to changing your loved one’s life and do not suddenly start changing everything they have grown accustomed to over the years. Alert them to any fears you may have, prepare them for any changes, and be as calm and positive as possible to reassure them it is for the best.

• Plan ahead in case of a sudden decline in health or hospitalization, because it is at these moments where you may face little resistance and can alter their daily care in the manner you see appropriate.

Dutch treat

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

“D

utch treat” is a phrase often used to politely suggest that everybody pays their own bill when they eat out. In northwest Iowa, home to many descendants of settlers from the Netherlands, the phrase has a much sweeter connotation.

One good example of that is a visit to Casey’s Bakery in Sioux Center. Now located in the Centre Mall, the bakery originated in downtown Sioux Center in 1946. Casey and Ann De Groot opened the bakery specializing in some traditional Dutch recipes. To this they added a tried and true formula: Make everything from scratch + Use high quality ingredients = Satisfied customers that keep coming back.

Four of their popular Dutch items are Almond Patties (a traditional Dutch puff pastry filled with almond paste), Spice Windmill Cookies (made with a cookie press), Rusk Buns (used for open face sandwiches), and Raisin Buns. There are other Dutch cookies and cakes

and anise candy, too.

Glenda Mulder, head barista, said travelers often stop to take home foods that they remember from childhood. And as if Casey’s didn’t offer enough of their own Dutch baked treats, they also have imported Dutch foods and baking mixes, as well as Delft china.

A third generation of the De Groot family is now involved in the management of a business that just keeps growing. Their Centre Mall location has a Kaffee Huis (coffee bar), deli and dining room in addition to the bakery and gift shop. The Baker’s Pantry offers

kitchen tools. Their store fronts in this indoor mall have a traditional Dutch look, so you can pick up a bakery treat, add a drink from the Kaffee Huis, sit at a table in front of the store, and imagine you are lunching on an Amsterdam street.

While Casey’s is a good place to sample a Dutch baked treat, this is a full-line bakery with breads, cookies, decorated cakes, and other sweets. Mulder said their highest volume item is the good old American hamburger bun, and their delivery trucks supply other retailers in northwest Iowa and into South Dakota.

If you are heading to or through Sioux Center, it’s worth a stop. The Centre Mall is along Highway 75.
