it has wheels and can be pulled by a horse, Bill IfNigg has an interest in it.

As a founding member of the National Stagecoach & Freight Wagon Association, Nigg has been collecting horse-drawn vehicles since the 1960s. Since he and JoAnn were married in 1991, she has jumped right in and rolls along with him.

“The first one I had was a single top buggy, and then I thought I should have maybe a double,” Nigg said. “I had a chance to buy a 1910 Deere and Webber fringe top surrey with big brass lamps. Then a complementary item is a spring wagon. It just kept multiplying. It is a sickness there is no cure for.”

If it is a sickness, the only pain results from riding on a bouncy buckboard. The Niggs have gotten much enjoyment from the collection. They’ve appeared in numerous parades, provided transportation for grand marshals and for wedding parties, and preserved a lot of history. His horsedrawn hearse has transported caskets to cemeteries, a classy ride if not quite so joyful.

Nigg has broad knowledge of horse-drawn vehicles and knows what he is collecting. An indication of the quality of his collection came a few years ago when a John Deere museum opening in Michigan purchased all of his Deere-related items, a dozen or more large pieces and numerous

smaller ones.

“It took us a while to decide to sell,” Nigg said.

“We didn’t want to part with them.”

The decision to sell was based on two main reasons: 1) He is 79 and it was wise to downsize his collection; and 2) They knew the pieces were going to a climate-controlled building and would be well-cared for.

The couple also had a half-interest in a stagecoach with Doug Hansen, a restoration expert who operates Hansen Wheel and Wagon in Letcher, S.D. That coach was purchased by a See STAGECOACH, pg. 6A

Letter: Legislators playing favorites, favoring mega-dairies this mega-site would be stored and applied, are family farmers also. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens’ Board thought that these key concerns expressed by neighboring citizens and farmers deserved answers and ordered a more in depth environmental review analysis.

Did this stop the mega-dairy from going ahead with their plans for expansion? No. They are simply relocating to another site that had already been preapproved for development. As part of a huge 50,000-cow operation, they can simply change their location and proceed. On the other hand, most family farms can’t move and are at real risk if they suddenly have a gigantic factory farm for their neighbor. So it is important that we keep in place those reasonable citizen controls and regulatory oversight for their protection.

I feel that legislators like Senator Julie Rosen of Fairmont, who compared a 320-acre diversified crop and live-

storage while raising crops and livestock as varied as kidney beans, cotton, quail, corn, quarter horses, popcorn, soybeans and registered Brangus cattle.

These farmers and ranchers are highly specialized, mechanized and energized. And bold; most started out with little to nothing and took advantage of unique, often risky, opportunities offered by neighbors, family or friends.

Also, while the Big Ag boys couldn’t be more different from New Ag’s Salatin and Brice, all hold common threads.

Each is very specialized in their diversity and all are highly committed: Brice to his fabulous grass; Salatin to his systematic organics; the young guns to their intense asset management.

Those similarities hold differences, too.

Salatin and Brice, while managers, “farm” more; the Fab Five, while full-time farmers and ranchers, “manage” more. All, however, are still farmers and ranchers.

Taken together — in, say, one issue of one magazine — these stark contrasts now blend to shape food’s future. Will both thrive in the coming 10 years as they have in the last 10?

Hopefully, Progressive Farmer will let us know.

The benefits of dairy to the state is undisputed, but those benefits accrue from many small- to medium-size farms supporting their surrounding communities and businesses.

‘Enter the chicken’ GUEBERT, from pg. 2A When he and spouse Theresa began, they owned “a $50 car,” lived in “his parents’ attic” and “subsisted on $300 per month.”

That first year their work on 500 rented and owned acres “grossed $20,000.”

Enter the chicken; make that the pasture-raised, “farm-to-table” chicken.

“If you grow chicken for Tyson,” Salatin explains to writer Deborah R. Huso, “you need a $400,000 chicken house. We had 280 chickens and needed a $100 portable shelter.”

So they built the portable shelter.

Then another. And, soon, another and another.

Today, as you can read, Polyface Farm (“the farm of many faces”) has 100 broiler chicken shelters.

It also has “1,000 head of cattle, 800 hogs, 25,000 broilers, 4,000 laying hens and 2,000 turkeys.” The now-2,000 acre farm grosses “$2 million a year,” and is home to four generations of Salatins. By any measure, Polyface is an enormous success.

Thirty or so pages later, the magazine’s cover story, “American’s 2015 Best Young Farmers & Ranchers” takes over (for 17 pages) to showcase more success.

OPINION

THE LAND, FEBRUARY 13, 2015

To the Editor: As a family dairy farmer I’ve always thought of myself as “real ag.” Along with my daughter and son-in-law, I farm 240 acres and run a 48-cow dairy operation in Renville County, Minn. We are among the 85 percent of the state’s dairy farmers who milk 200 cows or fewer.

Only 30 dairies — less than one percent — have over 1,000 cows. But from what I have read lately, it looks like some legislators think that it’s only the largest one percent that deserve any attention.

Rural legislators should be focusing on legislation that helps all family farmers, not just the biggest of the big. By trying to curtail reasonable oversight of the development of a proposed 8,850-cow mega-dairy in Stevens County, Minn., some legislators are effectively embracing proposals that would gut local control and citizen review of a project. The neighbors who are worried about the impact that using over 100 million gallons of water at one site would have on their wells, or where all the waste from

‘Workmanship in these older vehicles was extraordinary’ And she’s happy they made it because they made a lot of wonderful friends they still get together with.

In fact, she said the relationships they form with other collectors is one of the best parts of their collecting.

Bygone collection The buckboard they own is not in original condition, he said. It has the original seat and irons, but he suspects some slats in the floor have been replaced. Still, it is a rare piece. The North Dakota Historical Society has one identical to it.

The wagon is an original Montgomery Ward ponysize wagon, with the Montgomery Ward name still visible on the side. That makes it “pretty precious,” Nigg said, though he has not been able to determine the age.

The fringe-top surrey is also quite rare. “You just never see them,” Nigg said. “I don’t know how many (pony surreys) were ever built.” Even in its unrestored state it has class.

Nigg obviously likes the history behind these vehicles, but it’s much more that draws him to them.

“I guess the biggest part of (their attraction) is the craftsmanship,” he said. “The ironwork on an old vehicle — much of it hand done — is so ornate compared with anything modern. The workmanship in these older vehicles was extraordinary.”

With all of their fascination, there also comes the work of maintaining the horses as well as the vehicles. He said it takes a crew of three to hitch a team of four to the stagecoach. That’s why the Niggs have parted with a few vehicles and no longer appear in parades.

They will make an exception in 2016 when Browns Valley celebrates its 150th anniversary.

Nigg said they’ll have some rigs in that parade.

STAGECOACH, from pg. 6A Freight Wagon Stagecoach Trail. Starting in Fort Pierre, S.D., a team of four horses pulled the stagecoach 240 miles to Deadwood, S.D., going over prairie and rocks and through streams, following the original trail as closely as possible. They were 17 days on the road. JoAnn Nigg rode in the stagecoach for two days, and Bill Nigg said he “spent a lot of days on it.”

Accepting the invitation to join the wagon train wasn’t an easy decision.

“The coach is beautiful,” Nigg said. “It’s like a nicely made cabinet.” They weren’t sure they wanted to subject it to the rigors of such a rough trip. But then ... “We got to thinking about it and we thought, that’s what it was built for.”

The mud wagon lived up to its reputation. It came back with hardly a scratch.

“That was a journey!” JoAnn Nigg said.

Steamboats raced the Red for bragging rights STEAMBOATS, from pg. 8A by oxen from Benson, the end of the railroad to McCauleyville, on the Minnesota banks of the Red. There, during the winter of 1870–71 a crew built a steamboat. The Hill-Griggs’ Selkirk was ready for the 1871 season. She was a double-deck boat, weighed 108 tons, and drew four to five feet of water when loaded. She had a crew of 17 and could pull two barges. The Selkirk was serious competition for the International.

Hill didn’t play fair. He wanted the monopoly that the Hudson Bay Company held and he got it through political contacts that decreed it was illegal for Canadian craft to ply the U.S. portion of the Red River.

The Canadians knew how to conduct a trade brawl themselves and soon made it illegal for U.S. boats to enter Canada. While the bosses and their pet politicians were fisticuffing in the halls of Parliament and Congress the riverboat crews themselves enjoyed some competition.

“The Selkirk and International — both wanted to get a leetle (sic) ahead of the other,” wrote a correspondent for the recently founded Manitoba Free Press in 1872. “They left here a week ago Monday

evening, the International having three hours start, which she kept till arrival at Pembina, where a delay caused by the breaking of one of her cam yokes allowed the Selkirk to catch up; both boats left that place, nose and nose together; the Selkirk took the lead, and kept it till she broke a wheel arm which occasioned a stoppage for repairs, during which the International passed her. Both boats tore up the River, stole wood from each other — and kind of hustled things generally, the International reaching Fisher’s Landing an hour and a half ahead, one says, and 15 minutes ahead, according to the Selkirk’s version.”

By 1873, Hill-Griggs and Hudson Bay Company had crafted a solution to their differences. Kittson, an old fur trader and Hills neighbor-to-be, was an agent for Hudson Bay Company in St. Paul. Under Kittson’s leadership the Red River Transportation Company was formed. It was a syndicate that was owned by both the Canadians and Americans. The RRTC monopolized international trade on the river for the next three years.

Over the next 10 years, business flourished and at least 18 more steamboats were built for service along the Red River. Among them was the 113-ton

Alpha, the 76-ton single-deck Adelaide, which also served as a floating ballroom, and the 138-ton 22stateroom Cheyenne built for the RRTC in the winter of 1873. The Cheyenne, when it was retrofitted later in the decade, produced 27.84 horsepower.

When the railroad between Moorhead, Minn., and Winnipeg, Canada, was completed in 1878, steamboats faced a very efficient competitor. The industry began to decline.

The steamer, The City of Grand Forks, was built by the RRTC in 1895 for grain hauling and was the last boat involved in international trade on the Red. The Grand Forks also played a critical role in rescue efforts during the 1897 flood. Captained by Bruce Griggs, son of steamboat captain and Grand Forks pioneer Alexander Griggs, the Grand Forks rescued many stranded people at risk of drowning. Rescue efforts included The City of Grand Forks steaming down Main Street in Pembina, N.D. The City of Grand Forks sunk in the Red River in 1912 and an era came to a close.

‘Yesterday’ museum salvages automotive memories

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent SANBORN, Iowa — In 1939, John Vander Haag’s father started Southside Junkyard in Sanborn, Iowa. It was a great place for a 7-year-old boy to explore.

“I pulled out an old washing machine engine and thought I would use it to make a go-cart,” Vander Haag said. But there were no smooth streets in Sanborn and it didn’t work out.

Vander Haag still has the engine though. It is on display in Vander Haag’s Yesterday’s Memories Museum in Sanborn. The museum fills two buildings as well as a “reborn” 1932 Phillip’s 66 gas station.

“My first experience with my father going to the filling station to put gas in his Model A was at Chuck Boone’s Phillip’s 66,” he said.

Those early Phillip’s 66 stations were small buildings called English Cottage stations. Over the years Boone replaced it with a larger, modern station, but Vander Haag still had his childhood memories. He wanted one like it, and found one on a farm, but waited too long to buy it and it had been burned down.

“I contacted Phillip’s Petroleum, the archives department in Bartlesville, Okla.,” he said. “They sent me the blue prints dated 1930-32 — colors, dimensions, everything — and I built

John Vander Haag, along with his wife, Ruth, have accumulated a substantial collection of automotiverelated memorabilia at Vander Haag’s Yesterday’s Memories Museum in Sanborn, Iowa. The museum actually fills two buildings, as well as a “reborn” 1932 Phillip’s 66 gas station.

it according to spec.”

He calls it a “reborn” English Cottage-style station, the 1932 edition, and has filled it with items from that era, everything from nickel and penny candy, original displays of pipes priced from ten cents to a dollar, tobacco, and

tire-patching equipment to a pot belly stove.

Vander Haag eventually took over the salvage business from his father, and has since passed it on to his sons.

While he operated it he switched the salvaging from cars to trucks. Now headquartered in Spencer, Iowa, Vander Haag’s, Inc. has five locations in the Midwest.

Vander Haag’s business card says he is “Working my way through retirement.” With his wife, Ruth, they operate the three-building museum, which is open by appointment. The buildings overflow with history.

Yesteryear lessons The couple would stop at antique stores when they were on trips. While much of the two museum buildings have automotive-related items, that wasn’t the focus of collecting.

“I tried to collect things that tell a story,” Vander Haag said, pointing to a framed advertisement advertising a manifold heater in a 1928-29 Lincoln.

In that sense, a museum tour is an educational event in which Vander Haag explains what you’re seeing. He leads us over to pumps from the early 1900s.

“Here’s the first filling station, before they had filling stations,” he said,

standing by a Wayne gas pump on a cart. “The seller would push the cart down the street and pump it right into the car, and when (the cart) was empty he’d go refill it, because the cars only took maybe five, eight gallons of gasoline.”

Then he moves to some stationary pumps.

“The general store had maybe three pumps — white gas, kerosene, and fuel oil,” he said. “If you came in with your gallon can, they would pump it up and fill your can.”

Once he started collecting, he bought the old town hall for $600 and “started throwing stuff into there.” In 1995 he built Museum No. 1 and built showcases to display the small items. It displays numerous service station signs and equipment, and there are a few cars.

The prize is a 1910 Maxwell, but Vander Haag can also tell stories to go with a 1937 Packard (local owner with original upholstery), 1932 Chevrolet Landau Phaeton Deluxe convertible, 1932 Ford Model B Roadster, or the newest of the lot, a 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, one of many cars he bought in Rapid City, S.D., following the 1972 flood.

See MUSEUM, pg. 15A

Toys, wedding dresses also populate Sanborn museum You can visit the Vander Haags’ museum, but it is open only by appointment. It’s easy to spot Museum No . 1 along Highway 18, because of their English Cottage style Phillip’s 66 station right alongside of it.

Senate bill to fund ethanol plastics, co-products

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer In the late 1980s, Larry Johnson carried the title “Ethanol Answer Man” as part of a promotion by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. The program and Johnson helped clear up misinformation from the oil industry, to get con- Larry Johnson sumers to start asking for ethanol fuel at their next fuel stop.

Today, Johnson, of Cologne, Minn., is consultant and business development specialist for the Minnesota Corn Growers Association. Johnson supports a bill before the Minnesota State Legislature to create producer payments for the production of chemicals and plastics from biomass.

“I think we will be seeing a new type of producer payment like we had at one time for ethanol,” said Johnson. “Except now it’s going to be focused on biobased chemicals, plastics and even cellulosic ethanol for investors who want to build in Minnesota. There will be broad support for this because forest and wood products will be eligible feed.”

Senate bill SF 517 creates an advanced biofuel production incentive program, renewable chemical production incentive program, and biomass productive incentive program and appropriation. The bill

The thrust of this legislation is to get the production base centered in Minnesota thus permitting the entire wood industry to be involved, too.

— Larry Johnson was introduced and read on Feb. 2.

Johnson describes such a movement as simply good economic development as opposed to some government-funded programs.

“It’s been proven that financial incentives to Minnesota’s ethanol industry when it was still a fledgling industry was money tremendously well-spent.

Literally over 30,000 jobs developed within this industry,” said Johnson. “It became a significant contributor to the local communities where these ethanol plants were built. And for the thousands of farmers that invested in these value-added cooperatives, ethanol became an important revenue stream for their farming operation.”

Co-products to ethanol are already being produced such as corn-based plastics used in containers being sold at Target, grocery stores and other major retailers.

“The technology is rapidly advancing,” Johnson

said. “The thrust of this legislation is to get the production base centered in Minnesota thus permitting the entire wood industry of Minnesota to become involved also. Corn stover is the center of considerable research right now on cellulosic sources of fuel.

But the paper industry has a huge amount of waste product, as does the forest industry.

“The entire northeast quadrant of Minnesota has the potential for higher-valued products from waste materials plus replacing even more petroleum in the process.”

Renewable Fuels Standard While some ethanol plants are struggling financially due to crashing crude oil prices, cheaper corn prices are easing the predicament. A bigger hassle, according to Johnson, is the continued two-year delay of the Renewable Fuels Standard.

“We still continue blending more than 10 percent ethanol into all of our fuels,” he said, “because it’s an octane product with good value environmentally that refiners have come to depend on. That’s why we’ll continue to expand the total ethanol industry even without the blessings of EPA and its new rules.

“However, we will need EPA support for higher blends such as E15, E30 and E85 to implement the Renewable Fuels Standards intended by Congress.

Higher blend levels are needed to create the additional demand necessary to attract the financing for the next generation of cellulosic ethanol plants. We See ETHANOL, pg. 17A

Johnson: Utilize corn stover to meet ethanol demand History of Ethanol Ethanol was first used to power an engine in 1826, and in 1876 Nicolaus Otto, the inventor of the modern four-cycle internal combustion engine, used ethanol to power his early engine. Ethanol was also used as a lighting fuel in the 1850s, but its use was curtailed when it was taxed as a liquor to help pay for the Civil War. Ethanol use as a fuel continued after the tax was repealed, and fueled Henry Ford’s Model T in 1908. The first ethanol blended with gasoline for use as an octane booster occurred in the 1920s and the 1930s, and was in high demand during World War II due to fuel shortages.

Today’s ethanol industry began in the 1970s when petroleum-based fuel became expensive and environmental concerns involving leaded gasoline created a need for an octane extender. Corn became the predominant feedstock because of its abundance and ease of transformation into alcohol. Ethanol’s use as an oxygenate to control carbon monoxide emissions continues to encourage increased production of the fuel.

rolling, but so did start-up money of $30 million over a 10-year period to each of the 13 farmer-owned coops.

According to Johnson, the original incentive was a four-cent exemption from state gasoline taxes that only resulted in ADM flooding the state with ethanol

from its Illinois ethanol manufacturing facilities.

Due to objections that this was draining highway funds, Johnson said the state agreed to a compromise to reduce the tax exemption for ethanol blends to two cents and create a producer incentive fund that would pay 20 cents per gallon for the first 15 million gallons of ethanol produced by a farmerowned ethanol plant.

The $3 million obligation was not awarded until the plant was built and producing ethanol, but it made it possible to facilitate financing for farmerowned plants.

From fiscal year 1994-95 through fiscal year 2012, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture provided $345,496,175.99 of ethanol producer payments to 13 farmer-owned ethanol plants. Since the Biofuel Statutes were first adopted by the Minnesota Legislature in 1992, a Biofuels Advisory Task Force appointed by Minnesota Department of Agriculture makes policy recommendations on NextGen biofuelgasoline blends.

Larry Johnson was interviewed at the Minnesota Corn Growers Annual Meeting in January. ❖

ETHANOL, from pg. 16A could easily produce another eight billion gallons of ethanol just from the excess corn stover that could be sustainably harvested each year.”

E85, a special ethanol fuel suitable only for flex fuel vehicles, continues to make inroads into the total fuel market across the United States, especially when both the price of ethanol and the price of corn went down, said Johnson. With crude oil now also considerably cheaper, E85 has lost some of its financial advantage to handlers of the product.

Rise of ethanol With efforts by the Minnesota Corn Growers Association, which included persuasive phone calls, personal visits, and strong letters to key members of the Minnesota Legislature, Minnesota was the first state in the nation to make ethanol a state mandated fuel.

The mandate began when the Clean Air Act of 1990 declared the Twin Cities out of attainment for 2 CO and required the use of oxygenated gasoline during winter months. Supporters encouraged legislators to make it a year-round statewide initiative. In 2003, the Legislature mandated 10 percent ethanol fuel.

Eventually 21 ethanol plants dotted the landscape of rural Minnesota. The mandate helped get things

Minn. State Fair seeks Century Farm applications ST. PAUL – Minnesota families who have owned their farms for 100 years or more may apply for the 2015 Century Farms Program. Produced by the Minnesota State Fair and the Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation, the Century Farms Program

was created to promote agriculture and honor historic family farms in the state. More than 10,000 Minnesota farms have been honored since the program began in 1976.

Family farms are recognized as Century Farms

when they meet three requirements. The farm must be: 1) at least 100 years old according to authentic land records; 2) in continuous family ownership for at least 100 years (continuous residence on the farm is not required); 3) at least 50 acres.

A commemorative certificate signed by State Fair Board of Managers President Al Paulson, Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation President Kevin Paap and Governor Mark Dayton will be awarded to qualifying families, along with an outdoor sign signifying Century Farm status. Century Farms will be featured in the Minnesota Farm Bureau State Fair exhibit.

Applications are available online at mnstatefair.org (click the “Recognition Programs” link at the bottom of the home page); at fbmn.org; by calling the State Fair at (651) 288-4400; or at statewide county extension and county Farm Bureau offices. Deadline is April 3.

He was a once-in-a-lifetime dog.

From the moment you brought him home until the day he left, he was easy to teach, easy to trust, easy to love and, unfortunately, too easy to lose. You’ll never forget your once-in-a-lifetime dog, nobody does. In “My Boy, Ben,” David Wheaton tells you about his.

Years ago, there was always a dog or two at the Wheaton household.

David Wheaton remembers several of them: big dogs, Husky-dogs, always ready to join a Minnesota boy with adventure in his heart. As the youngest of four kids, Wheaton cherished those dogs as his favorite playmates.

As an adult and a world-traveling tennis pro, Wheaton knew that having a dog would mean asking his parents to help with the care while he was on the road. That was something they weren’t willing to do, so Wheaton continued to dream — until he received a note from his mother that mentioned a dog she happened to notice.

It’s a place where the brotherhood of I also went that day to realize all that farming knows no age limits — as

young producers sit among the more experienced ones, listening to their jokes and stories and always, learning from them. At this sale, one man brought his dog along. Apparently, a farmer and his dog truly are inseparable, even working closely together in the cattle business.

Farmers come in coveralls and manure-covered boots — it’s a sale barn, after all; everyone knows what they do for a living and no one expects them to look manicured. Or clean.

The smell of wood chips fills the air, the auctioneer begins his rhythmic call and eyes are scanning the crowd. There are maybe as many hopes as there are disappointments, as buyers and sellers have different ‘fair’ prices in mind for what they hope to accomplish.

The gates swing open to let the animals in and it’s 100 percent focus as phones come out and calculators work quickly.

Those helping the auctioneer are also focused on the crowd. We hear the loud and familiar “Yep!” as bidders are acknowledged. I once sneezed and thought I would be taking home animals I never counted on having. I’m not sure, but in all honesty I could be mostly a menace in places like that to my husband.

Some of the cows are sassy and kick their heels up. The first time I saw one fall down in the ring I knew what she

felt like. I did that at my 8th grade graduation, too, when I forgot to lift up the front of my floor-length dress as I went up the steps to the gymnasium stage.

Poor calf — oh, the embarrassment.

At least I had a dress to blame it on.

From a woman’s perspective, it was a great place to spend the afternoon — surrounded by farmers and their unique senses of humor, making new friends, visiting with long-time friends, catching up on families, and best of all — no waiting in line at the ladies’ room.

That’s right — be jealous, my guyfarmer friends.

Though places like the (now closed) Sioux City Stockyards were rarely a part of our children’s childhood memories, the local sale barn and area hog buying station gave them many memories that they will keep and pass along to their children someday. I hope there are places like that around by the time their children can go with them to sell livestock and build those memories. It’s a kind of bonding that can’t even be done around the dinner table.

It’s actually pretty macho stuff, even for us ladies of the farm.

Conservation Compliance: Beginning with the 2015 crop year, producers must be in compliance with USDA provisions for Highly Erodible Land Conservation and Wetland Conservation in order to receive federal subsidies for crop insurance premiums. This requirement is similar to the HELC and WC requirements to receive benefits from Farm Service Agency farm programs, USDA disaster programs, and NRCS programs.

Most producers that regularly participate in FSA farm programs are already in compliance with HELC and WC requirements, and have a Form AD-1026 on file at FSA offices. Other producers need to file a Form-AD-1026 at FSA offices by June 1 in order to be eligible for crop insurance subsidies for the 2015 crop year. Crop insurance premiums for corn and soybeans without the federal subsidy would likely be 5060 percent higher in many counties.

Supplemental Coverage Option: The SCO crop insurance option is available in 2015 for corn, soybeans, and spring wheat in most major producing counties. SCO is only available to producers who See THIESSE, pg. 22A

Crop insurance options THIESSE, from pg. 21A choose the Price Loss Coverage option of the new farm program for 2014-15 by March 31 at county FSA offices. Producers that choose Ag Risk Coverage (ARC-CO or ARC-IC) options of the new farm program are not eligible for the SCO insurance option. SCO is an insurance endorsement that will correspond to the underlying individual crop insurance policy — YP, RP, RPE, etc.

The maximum insurance coverage with the SCO endorsement is 86 percent of the expected value for a given crop for 2015 (yield x base price). If an eligible producer normally purchases 75 percent individual insurance coverage, they would have the option to purchase an additional 11 percent SCO insurance coverage on that crop. If they purchased 85 percent individual coverage, they would only be able to purchase an additional one percent of SCO coverage. The coverage with SCO is based on county-wide yield and revenue losses, similar to Area Risk Protection crop insurance policies, as com-

pared to farm-level losses with typical YP, RP and RPE policies. There are premiums for SCO insurance coverage; however the SCO premiums are subsidized at a rate of 65 percent by the federal government.

SCO example with RP coverage Assumptions: 190bu./acre APH (farmlevel); 180bu./acre (county average); $4.13/bu. Chicago Board of Trade base price; 75 percent farm-level coverage; 11 percent SCO Coverage.

• Expected Farm Revenue = 190bu./acre x $4.13/bu. = $784.70/acre • SCO Threshold (86 percent) = $784.70/acre x 0.86 = $674.84/acre • Farm-level Coverage (75 percent) = $784.70/acre x 0.75 = $588.52/acre • Maximum SCO Coverage (11 percent) = $784.70/acre x 0.11 = $86.32/acre • SCO County Guarantee (86 percent) = 180bu./acre x $4.13/bu. x 0.86 = $639.32/acre

The deadline for farmers to enroll in the 2015 Conservation Stewardship Program is Feb. 27. While farmers may apply for a CSP contract at any time, applicants who file after the deadline cannot start their contracts until 2016. Re-authorized in the 2014 farm bill, CSP offers payments to farmers who maintain and expand conservation on working farmland.

For farmers who practice stewardship on working farmland, CSP can help offset the costs and risks of new conservation measures while providing support for ongoing stewardship activities. Working lands eligible for CSP enrollment include cropland, pastureland, rangeland and non-industrial forestland.

Price calculations compare yield to revenue protection THIESSE, from pg. 22A The final SCO payment is determined based on the final county level average yield times the RMA harvest price, compared to the county-level guarantee.

The maximum SCO payment in this example is $86.32 per acre.

Yield Protection policies • YP policies provide protection from yield losses only.

• The price guarantee for YP policies for corn is the average settlement price for December CBOT corn futures in February, and for soybeans is the average settlement price for November soybean futures in February.

• Producers may select coverage ranging from 50-85 percent of the APH to arrive at a yield guarantee.

Soybean Example = 52bu./acre APH x .85 (85 percent) = 44.2bu./acre guar-

antee • Replant and prevented planting coverage applies to YP policies.

• Indemnity payments are calculated by subtracting the harvest yield on a farm unit from the yield guarantee and multiplying times the YP market price minus the crop insurance premium.

Soybean Example = 44.2bu./acre guarantee and 35bu./acre harvest yield (44.2bu./acre - 35bu./acre) = 9.2bu./acre x $9.58/bu. - $8/acre premium = $80.14/acre Revenue protection policies • The RP and Revenue Protection with Harvest Price Exclusion (RPE) insurance policies function essentially in the same manner, except that the guarantees on RPE policies are not affected by harvest prices. Most corn and soybean

producers utilize RP policies.

• The yield guarantee (APH), farm unit determinations, insurance coverage selections (50-85 percent), replant, and prevented planting coverage for RP and RPE insurance policies are the same as for YP policies.

• All RP prices are based on CBOT Futures prices and not cash prices.

• The higher of the base price or the harvest price is used to calculate revenue guarantee per acre for RP policies, and the harvest price is also used to determine the value of the harvested crop for both RP and RPE policies.

• For 2015, most Midwest corn and soybean producers will have the opportunity to utilize Trend-Adjusted APH yield endorsement, which has proven to be quite favorable.

• Following are details on RP price calculations for corn and soybeans: Corn Base price for RP and RPE policies is the average settlement price for December CBOT corn futures during the month of February.

Harvest price for RP policies is the average settlement price for December CBOT corn futures in October during the year of harvest.

MARKETING

Limit = harvest price maximum for RP is limited to the base price x 200 percent (Example = $4.13/bu. base price x 2.00 = $8.26/bu. maximum) There are no restrictions regarding downside price movement.

Soybeans Base price for RP and RPE policies is the average settlement price for November soybean futures during the month of February.

Harvest price for RP policies is the average settlement price for November CBOT corn futures in October during the year of harvest.

Limit = harvest price maximum for RP is limited to the base price x 200 percent. (Example: $9.58/bu. base price x 2.00 = $19.16/bu. maximum) There are no restrictions regarding downside price movement.

• 2015 YP, RP and RPE Base Prices will be finalized on March 1, 2015. As of Feb. 6, 2015, the base prices are estimated at: corn, $4.13/bu.; soybeans, $9.58/bu.; wheat, $5.89/bu.

• Corn Loss Example with an 80 percent RP insurance policy (enterprise units): (190bu./acre APH; 160bu./acre harvest yield; $4.13/bu. CBOT base price; $3.50/bu. CBOT harvest price; $10/acre premium) See THIESSE, pg. 25A

View crop policies with risk management in mind • Know the limitations when utilizing ARP or SCO policies.

ARP or SCO policies may become somewhat attractive due to significantly lower premium costs compared to traditional RP policies. However, the ARP and SCO policies are based on county-wide production and revenue losses, and do not necessarily cover losses from isolated storms or crop damage that affect individual farm units.

• Take a good look at the 85 percent coverage levels, especially if you are using enterprise units with RP insurance policies. Most Midwest corn and soybean producers will be utilizing a minimum of 80 percent RP coverage for 2015. In many cases, the 85 percent coverage level offers considerably more protection, with a modest increase in premium costs. Many producers will be able to guarantee $650-$700 per acre for corn, and $400-$450 per acre for soybeans at 85 percent coverage levels.

due to potential drought and weather problems in 2015, and/or lower than expected crop prices? RP crop insurance policies serve as an excellent risk management tool for these situations. See Tables A and B for comparison examples of comparable YP and RP policies.

• There are a wide variety of crop insurance policies and coverage levels available. Make sure you are comparing “apples to apples” when comparing crop insurance premium costs for various options or types of crop insurance policies, including the new SCO option, and recognize the limitations of the various crop insurance products.

• In most instances, utilize the TAAYP and YE Endorsements for 2015 (where available). Many producers will be able to enhance their insurance protection for 2015 by utilizing either the TA-APH or YE option, with only slightly higher premium costs. Using the TA-APH endorsement is a good crop insurance strategy for most eligible corn and soybean producers.

THIESSE, from pg. 24A Revenue guarantee = 190bu./acre x $4.13/bu. x .80 = $627.76/acre Harvested crop value = 160bu./acre x $3.50/bu. = $560/acre Indemnity payment = $627.76/acre $560/acre - $10acre = $57.76/acre If the coverage level in the previous example is increased to 85 percent, the revenue guarantee is increased to $667. Assuming a harvested crop value of $560 per acre and a premium cost of $21 per acre, the resulting indemnity payment would be $86 per acre.

Bottom line on 2015 crop insurance decisions: • Crop insurance premium reductions for 2015. 2015 crop insurance premiums for most coverage levels of corn and soybeans will likely be comparable to 2014 premium levels, with some higher and some lower, depending on location.

A contributing factor to the gain was the plunge in the U.S. dollar and push higher in the energy complex to begin the week. The U.S. dollar consolidated into a lower range for the PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. balance of the week and crude St. Paul oil finished $3.45 higher for the week. Comments from Greece that they would not walk away from their debt, or the euro standard, prompted selling of the dollar in favor of the euro.

Weekly corn export inspections at 26 million bushels were well beneath the 34 million bushels needed to achieve the 1.75 billion bushel U.S. Department of Agriculture export projection.

Inspections have surpassed the minimum needed just once in the last 16 weeks. China reported they bought a record 125 million metric tons of grain from domestic growers for the government reserve from last year’s crop. Ideas are increasing that China’s ending stocks may show a significant increase on this week’s USDA report.

U.S. weekly export sales were at the low end of expectations at 33.3 million bushels. Total export

The first week of February has not changed the volatility in the livestock markets. The cattle and hog markets continued to experience rapid and sharp moves almost on a daily basis. Because of the extreme moves we have seen in the past, the future would more than likely contain further volatile moves in both.

The cattle market for the most part has seen two different markets for quite some time. The cash market has been more positive while the futures market has been enveloped by a negative cast.

The reason for the more positive cash market has been the JOE TEALE Broker lower number of available cattle for slaughter. On the other hand, Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. the futures market has become concerned about the declining demand for beef.

This has resulted in massive long liquidation in the futures despite the fact of the cash market remaining relatively firm. With the futures market now very discount and oversold, the probability of a more positive price action in the futures prices may be expected for a short period. This should narrow the extremely wide basis that has been prevalent during the last couple of months.

Although the expectations are that the live cattle prices will remain firm in the near term, it is not likely that prices will move to new all-time highs.

Resistance that has been evident in past weeks will likely not subside completely which is reflective of consumer resistance to higher priced beef.

As a grain producer, if you were asked, “How do you plan on getting through the next two to three years of potentially lower than break-even price levels” how would you answer?

Perhaps you’re planning on improving your cost structure, including cutting input costs, land costs, and fixed costs.

While likely a pretty common answer, it undoubtedly is not a quick fix. One of the keys to helping get your plan to come together is having adequate working capital in your business.

How much working capital do you need?

JOEL LARSON Working Capital = Current AgStar Director Credit Assets – Current Liabilities. The Blue Earth, Minn. amount varies, but it can typically be determined through three measurements.

1. Current Ratio (also known as Liquidity Ratio) = Current Assets/Current Liabilities If this is 1:1 or less (example $200,000 of current assets and $200,000 of current liabilities), it’s a pretty good indication that the operation is under some stress. It is likely hard to pay bills and conduct business if you are tight on cash or cannot convert current assets into cash quickly. It’s also hard to take advantage of good business deals, like prepaying on an input to get a discount, as they become available.

If you have substantial amount of working capital in dollars and a current ratio of, say, 3:1, then that operation is most likely not under financial stress.

2. WC/AGI (Working Capital in $/Gross Revenues)

See NYSTROM, pg. 27A

See TEALE, pg. 27A

See LARSON, pg. 27A

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

Without moving news, expect beans to revisit lows include additional Brazilian grower selling, record South American production moving toward the market and rising global soybean stocks.

According to Moore Research, May soybeans have increased from Feb. 23 to March 3 in 13 of the last 15 years. If this proves true this year, we have a lot of trade between now and then. Fundamentally, the market is bearish and unless the Feb. 10 report is bullish, we will expect sideways to lower prices.

If you are watching spreads, the May/July spreads should tend to widen with hefty U.S. stocks and a record South American crop hitting the market.

March soybeans continue in their $9.50 to $10.00 per bushel range, just waiting for a headline to push it one way or the other. In the absence of market moving news, a revisit to the lower end of the range could be expected.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending Feb. 6: Chicago wheat was the leader, rallying 24 1⁄4 cents, Kansas City up 21 1⁄2 cents and Minneapolis up 20 1⁄4 cents per bushel. March crude oil gained $3.45 per barrel to close at $51.59 per barrel, ultra-low-sulfur diesel was up over 13 3⁄4 cents per gallon, reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending rose 8 cents per gallon and natural gas fell 11 1⁄4 cents. The U.S. dollar index was down .143 points for the week. United Steelworkers are still on strike at nine U.S. refineries as of Feb. 6. ❖

Hogs continue long downward slide TEALE, from pg. 26A

Hog expansion has also contributed to the cautiousness of the packer to reach to accumulate more

inventory, further pressuring prices at the live level.

The positive is the fact that the pork cutout has been fairly stable in recent weeks indicating good consumer demand for pork.

The fact that the market is extremely oversold, combined with good demand for pork, should bring about some sort of price recovery in the near future.

The chances of a long-term price recovery seem slim at best considering the increased supply of hogs.

From a seasonal standpoint, there is usually a spring rally that normally lasts into the late spring period. Should this rally develop, then it would seem a prudent idea for producers to use this potential rally to protect inventories. ❖

LARSON, from pg. 26A This may be the best way to determine if you have enough working capital. It compares working capital to the size of the business. For example, if you have $200,000 of working capital and your business produces gross revenue of $1 million, your WC/AGI would be 20 percent. At AgStar, anything less than 20 percent for a full-time farmer is considered a working capital deficiency and we would encourage these clients to improve or rebuild their working capital through profits or by other means.

3. Working Capital/Acre Farmed As a general guideline AgStar likes to see our fulltime grain producer clients (with APHs of greater than 185 bu./acre) have at least $250 working capi-

tal per acre farmed and clients (with APHs less than 165 bu./acre) have at least $220 working capital per acre farmed. To be staged for the next couple of years it might be a good idea to have considerably more working capital than the minimum — in the range of $600 to $700 — of working capital per acre farmed.

AgStar Financial Services is a cooperative owned by client stockholders. As part of the Farm Credit System, AgStar has served 69 counties in Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin with a wide range of financial products and services for more than 95 years. ❖

As the basis narrows between cash and futures, producers are urged to take advantage of the wide positive basis as it exists now and move current inventory. For the longer term, producers should consider protecting inventories on market strength.

The hog market has continued its long slide to the lowest levels in price since November of 2009. The ample supply of inventory in the face of a strong U.S. dollar which has hampered export business has put pressure on prices for several months.

1.77 billion bushels.

Exports typically fall April through August when South American supplies become available to the market. The seasonal export decline may be starting already. On the weekly sales report, last week’s sales were revised down from 32.6 million to 27.7 million bushels.

Current sales need to average five million bushels per week to attain the USDA forecast.

The average trade guess for the USDA’s Feb. 10 supply/demand report is 398 million bushels of ending stocks. In January, the USDA figure was 410 million bushels. For Brazilian production, the average guess is 94.67 mmt versus 95.5 mmt in January; Argentina’s average estimate is 55.58 mmt compared to 55.0 mmt last month. Global soybean stocks are projected at 90.44 mmt compared to 90.78 mmt last month.

OUTLOOK: The March soybean contract was 12 1⁄2 cents higher for the week, closing at $9.73 3⁄4 per bushel with November beans up 14 1⁄4 cents at $9.60 per bushel. Limiting factors for an extended rally

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

NYSTROM, from pg. 26A commitments are three percent behind last year while the USDA is anticipating a 9 percent decline in exports this year. Weekly sales need to average 18 million bushels per week to accomplish the USDA projection.

Weekly ethanol production fell 30,000 bushels per day to 948,000 bushels per day this week. This rate still exceeds the production rate for this week for the last four years. Ethanol stocks were up 400,000 barrels to 21 million barrels and the highest since June 2012.

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange announced this week that nearly all futures pit trading in Chicago and New York will end by July 2. Pit trading of options will continue, but at another location.

OUTLOOK: March corn rallied 15 3⁄4 cents for the week to settle at $3.85 3⁄4 per bushel. The December contract closed 16 cents higher at $4.16 3⁄4 per bushel. The upcoming Feb. 10 USDA supply/demand report should be a non-event. The average carryout estimate is 1.879 billion bushels, up 2 million bushels from the January 1.877 billion bushel forecast. An increase in ethanol grind is anticipated behind any usage change. Brazil’s corn crop is estimated at 74.56 mmt versus 75.0 mmt in January; Argentina’s corn production is pegged 22.54 mmt versus 22.0 mmt last month.

Short-term downside risk in the December contract may be limited by the fear that lower prices will cut corn acres too much. The USDA on Feb. 20 at their Outlook Forum will release supply/demand estimates for the 2015-16 crop year. The first survey based estimates for 2015-16 planted acreage will be released on March 31. March corn’s range is $3.65 to $3.95 per bushel until we see the crop report.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans also benefited from outside forces to push higher for the week rather than a change in fundamentals.

A weaker U.S. dollar and sporadic talk of possible South American crop issues provided early support, but late week action was sideways. Weather in localized areas of Brazil may result in lower yields than were earlier predicted, but overall any lost bushels in Brazil seem to be made up with rising Argentine production estimates. An uptick in Brazilian producer selling was noted this week which corresponded to a decline in their soybean basis.

Soybean inspections of 62.4 million bushels were much higher than the 42-48 million expected and the second highest in six weeks. China accounted for 73 percent of last week’s shipments. Year-to-date inspections are 78 percent of the 1.77 billion bushel USDA export forecast. Inspections need to average just 12 million bushels per week to hit the target.

Weekly export sales were decent at 18 million bushels, bringing total commitments to 1.67 billion bushels. The USDA January export prediction was

California requests milk order; Benchmark milk prices fall

<< MILKER’S MESSAGE >>

This column was written for the marketing week ending Feb. 6.

It’s official, a proposal has been submitted to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Market Service to form a federal milk marketing order in the state of California. Filed by the law office of Marvin Beshore on behalf of the members of California Dairies, Dairy Farmers of America, and Land O’Lakes, the Secretary of Agriculture has been requested to call a hearing and begin the

process.

After conducting an internal analysis of the proposal, USDA will decide whether a hearing will be held. USDA is requesting additional proposals regarding a potential Federal milk order for California. The request may be viewed at http://goo.gl/E9ZnjJ. Proposals must be received by April 10.

USDA will conduct a series of public outreach meetings throughout California in early May 2015. Information regarding

these meetings will be released soon.

■ The first Federal order benchmark milk price of 2015 starts on a down note. The Agriculture Department announced the Class III price at $16.18 per hundredweight, down $1.64 from December 2014, $4.97 below January 2014, but is $2.43 above the comparable California 4b cheese milk price. It equates to about $1.39 per gallon and the lowest Class III price since June 2012.

THE LAND, FEBRUARY 13, 2015

MIELKE, from pg. 28A Class III futures tell us this is not the bottom. The February contract was trading late Friday morning at $15.84, March at $15.98, and April at $15.83, with a peak of $17.20 in October.

The January Class IV price is $13.23, down $3.47 from December and a whopping $9.06 below a year ago. It is the lowest Class IV price since March 2010 although it fell to $13.24 in June 2012.

The four-week National Dairy Products Sales Report-surveyed cheese price averaged $1.5807 per pound, down 15.6 cents from December. Butter averaged $1.5633 per pound, down 34.2 cents. Nonfat dry milk, at $1.0202, was down 23.5 cents, and dry whey averaged 58.75 cents per pound, virtually unchanged.

California’s January 2015 Class 4b cheese milk price is $13.75/cwt., down $1.03 from December 2014, $6.56 below January 2014, and the lowest 4b price since May 2012. The January 4a butter-powder milk price is $13.09, down $3.48 from December, $9.04 below a year ago, and the lowest since March 2010.

■ On a brighter note, Tuesday’s Global Dairy Trade auction, event number 133, saw the weighted average for all products jump 9.4 percent, following a 1 percent jump on Jan. 20. It is the fourth consecutive gain and likely driven by Fonterra’s announcement last week that it was lowering its milk production estimate by 3.3 percent.

The uptick was led by whole milk powder, up an attention getting 19.2 percent, following a 3.8 percent increase in the Jan. 20 event. Rennet Casein was next, up 7.7 percent, following a 3.3 percent gain last time. Skim milk powder was up 6.7 percent, which was up just 1.0 percent last time, and last but not least was butter, up 6.1 percent after inching 0.1 percent higher last time.

On the downside, the biggest decline was in Cheddar cheese, down 11.1 percent, which follows a 4.3 percent drop last time. Anhydrous milkfat was next, down 5.4 percent, following a drop of 5 percent last time. Buttermilk powder rounded up the declines, off 5.4 percent, following a drop of 6.4 percent last time.

FC Stone reports the average GDT butter price equated to about $1.7160 per pound U.S., up from $1.6168 in the Jan. 20 event ($1.6741 on 80 percent butterfat, up from $1.5774). Contrast that to Chicago Mercantile Exchange butter which closed Friday at $1.7950 per pound. The GDT Cheddar cheese average was $1.1956 per pound U.S., down from $1.3433.

The U.S. block Cheddar CME price closed Friday at $1.5350. GDT skim milk powder, at $1.1782 per pound U.S., is up from $1.0837, and the whole milk powder average at $1.3035 U.S., is up from $1.0896 in the last event. The CME Grade A nonfat dry milk price closed Friday at $1.10.

THE LAND, FEBRUARY 13, 2015

MIELKE, from pg. 29A February. Cash block Cheddar closed Friday at $1.5350 per pound, up a quarter-cent on the week but 69.75 cents below a year ago when they tumbled almost 13 cents to $2.2325.

The Cheddar barrels finished the week at $1.4825, down 2,25 cents, 72.25 cents below a year ago, and a higher than normal 5.25 cents below the blocks. Ten cars of barrel traded hands on the week. The NDPSR-sur-

veyed U.S. average block price hit $1.5579 per pound, down 1.2 cents, while the barrels averaged $1.5122, down 4.6 cents.

Larger Midwest cheese manufacturers are feeling better about the prices they sell cheese for compared with prices they pay for milk, than in mid-January, when cheese prices declined rapidly, says Dairy Market News. Barring sharp declines in February, many manufacturers are more at ease with their margins

looking forward a few weeks than they were several weeks ago.

Exporting cheese is challenging by virtue of relative currency valuation as well as decisions of several previously large customers of U.S. exported cheese having slowed or curtailed purchases.

Nevertheless, exports still supplement profitability for some Midwest cheese plants in the form of current whey exports. Milk available to manufacturers is typically “up a little” from volumes a year ago. Cheese manufacturers expect milk volumes to seasonally increase until about May. Present cheese manufacturing schedules at most plants are very full, even maximum production in many plants.

Courtland 19 SHARP

Cash butter, after jumping 20 cents last week, appeared to be racing toward $2 per pound again but ran out of steam after gaining a dime by Wednesday. It gave back 5.5 cents Thursday and Friday and closed at $1.7950, up 4.5 cents on the week but 2.5 cents below a year ago when it lost 6 cents, closing at $1.82. Eighteen cars sold this week and NDPSR butter averaged $1.5641, up 0.9 cent.

The market is higher this week partly due to an early Easter, according to Dairy Market News. Some buyers are purchasing only what is needed as they wait to see if prices will come down. Domestic demand is steady to See MIELKE, pg. 31A

came to an unprecedented billion pounds, up 5.5 percent from November and 2.5 percent above a year ago.

By the way, imports of quota Italiantype cheese for December totaled 2.4 million pounds, down 12 percent from last year, according to Dairy Market News. Imports of high tier and quota Swiss/Emmenthaler varieties from January through December totaled 50.4 million pounds, 12 percent more than 2013. Imports of quota Swiss/Emmenthaler for December totaled 5.5 million pounds, up 52 percent.

The December Consumer Price Index for all food was 246.0, up 3.4 percent from a year ago. The December dairy products index is 229.9, up 5.3 percent from December 2013. Fresh whole milk was up 5.2 percent; cheese, up 8.2 percent; and butter was up 22.5 percent, according to USDA. ■ Checking the Hill; the National Milk Producers Federation, in a press release this week, stated that, due to objections they raised, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has withdrawn a regulatory guidance issued last year concerning when farmers must seek Clean Water Act permits for a long list of normal farming activities near wetlands.

On Friday, Jan. 29, the EPA and the U.S. Department of Army signed a memorandum — http://goo.gl/iaH5ez — withdrawing the “Interpretive Rule Regarding the Applicability of Clean Water Act Section 404(f)(1)(A).” Last summer, NMPF requested — http://goo.gl/hDoAn5 — that the Interpretive Rule be withdrawn because it could have actually discouraged water conservation and environmental best practices.

“Our concern with the initial proposal from last year is that it could have altered the long-standing and productive relationship between farmers and the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service, in a way that would have made it harder for farmers to implement water conservation measures,” said Jamie Jonker, NMPF’s Vice President for Sustainability & Scientific Affairs. “We’re pleased the EPA and Army have recognized that this regulation could have backfired, and that they’ve taken the necessary step to withdraw it.”

The EPA guidance, officially called an Interpretive Rule, was issued in March 2014. It said farmers are only exempt from needing Clean Water Act permits for more than 50 routine farming prac-

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk started the week losing 6 cents after an 8.75 cent climb the previous week, but then rallied and ended Friday at $1.10 per pound, up 3 cents. A record 54 carloads traded hands in the spot market this week, up from 34 the previous week.

■ Speaking of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, it was announced this week that, because open outcry futures trading has fallen to just one percent of the company’s total futures volume it will close most of its futures trading pits in Chicago and New York by July 2, 2015.

A CME press release stated: “The floorbased S&P 500 futures market, which continues to provide an important venue for trading the underlying futures contract for the open outcry S&P 500 options on futures contract, will remain open on CME Group’s Chicago trading floor.”

When asked if this would affect dairy trading there or in the future, FC Stone dairy broker Dave Kurzawski answered in Friday’s DairyLine; “Not yet today, but eventually it will have an impact on dairy markets.” He added that “It’s been a matter of, not if but when this happens as more and more of the volume went electronic over the past decade.”

As to dairy, the bulk of CME trading is really options, he said, so those will remain on the floor at this time as well as the open outcry spot market session on cheese, butter, and nonfat dry milk.

He quickly added that, at some point dairy may go electronic as well. It’s too early to tell.

■ You’ll recall that December 2014 milk production totaled 16.2 billion pounds, according to USDA preliminary data, up 3.2 percent compared to December 2013.

USDA’s Dairy Products report issued Feb. 3 shows where the milk went.

Butter production totaled 167 million pounds, up 17.4 percent from November and 3.3 percent above December 2013. Nonfat dry milk output totaled 163 million pounds, up 7.8 percent from November and 29.9 percent above a year ago.

American-type cheese, at 387 million pounds, was up 3.8 percent from November and 1.5 percent above a year ago. Italian type, at 444 million pounds, was up 7.2 percent from November and 4.2 percent above a year ago. Total cheese output for the month

Reconciliation Park, Mankato, Minn.

orgive Everyone Everything” is the message of Reconciliation Park, on Riverfront Drive in downtown Mankato.

The site commemorates Mankato’s infamous day — Dec. 26, 1862 — the largest mass execution in U.S. history.

The hanging of the Dakota 38 marked the end of the U.S.Dakota War along the Minnesota River Valley in the fall of 1862. Originally, 303 were to be hanged for attacks upon white settlers, but President Abraham Lincoln, after careful review of trial transcripts, pardoned all but 39 Dakota.

At the last moment, one more man was reprieved.

In an attempt to show a desire to forgive but not forget the wounds of the past, Reconciliation Park was dedicated in 1997 with a Kasota stone buffalo statue and plaque. The 150th anniversary was commemorated in 2012 with a new memorial listing the Dakota 38 on one side and a poem and Dakota Prayer on the other side.

Every Dec. 26, Dakota Americans travel by horseback to the site to remember, honor and heal.

The memorial’s prayer is a call for understanding...

Grandfather, Father, Creator Look down upon us Whatever works we do in a humble way In the future, when the children see them, they will understand And have knowledge For this reason, here at this gathering place, we have come Have pity on us and look!!

The event, organized by the St. Cloud Area Chamber of Commerce, is free to the public. Doors open at 9 a.m. and close at 4 p.m.

New this year is the event’s expanded roster of seminars, increased from two individuals last year to six for 2015. Speakers will appear twice in the same day — once at 10:30 a.m. and again at 1:30 p.m.

— for their one-hour talks.

“I asked my farm customers what

they wanted to hear about this year at the Farm Show,” said Ryan Anderson, an agriculture lender with Bremer Bank in St. Cloud.

Anderson took the recommendations from the informal survey back to the committee of 24. “Six unique speakers seemed to be a good number to add value for people attending the show.”

“We have a strong roster of speakers who will cover topics pertinent to the production and risk management issues farm owners and operators are currently dealing with in their operations,” committee member Bernie Quist, said. Quist is senior client solutions team leader with AgStar Financial Services, St. Cloud.
