OPINION

Office sees it returning to its historic 0.03 percent by 2020.

None of these figures, mind you, dispute SNAP’s size or inherent problems ... Even at that, however, SNAP will add little to the federal budget because projected costs continue to fall as GDP continues to rise. Very few federal programs ... can make the claim.

Even at that, however, SNAP will add little to the federal budget deficit because projected costs continue to fall as GDP continues to rise. Very few federal programs — including the 2014 farm bill’s expanded crop insurance program — can make the claim.

But it’s Easter, a time of sacrifice, charity and love. As such, perhaps we can agree that spending just $3, and maybe even $4, out of every $1,000 of GDP isn’t too much for the richest country in the history of the world to feed its hungry.

• The average per person monthly SNAP benefit is $125, about $4.15 per day or $1.39 per meal.

• In 2014, 92 percent of the $76 billion spent on SNAP was spent on food, five percent (or $3.8 billion) went to the states to administer the program, and three percent was spent on block grants to fund local programs like food banks.

• Historically, SNAP benefits have equaled about 0.03 percent of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product.

During the 2008-2011 economic crisis, however, that figure rose to 0.05 percent. In 2014, it fell to 0.045 percent and the non-partisan Congressional Budget

None of these figures, mind you, dispute SNAP’s size or inherent problems. Seventy billion dollarsplus per year, falling though it is, remains an enormous amount of money and documented fraud — now pegged at an historical low of less than one percent of the total costs — still tops $500 million per year.

THE LAND, APRIL 10, 2015

GUEBERT, from pg. 2A warm one at that — backed the Secretary; it called SNAP “needed.” The other 105 pummeled him for even putting fingers to keyboard.

“Mr. Vilsack, your claim of a low incidence of (SNAP) fraud & error is, (sic) equine manure,” wrote someone named Gene Hutchins. (The Journal requires online commenters to sign their names.)

“This entire treatise is riddle (sic) with total falsehoods. The Food Stamp programs are growing not shrinking ... The program is waist deep in fraud ...

Food stamps are openly traded for drugs and booze ... Total baloney!” wrote “gardener morris.”

And, “Raymond Klett,” added, “Another Obama shill supporting big and dysfunctional government.

Comrade Vilsack, lots of useless words to promote a political agenda.”

Not one writer, however, offered one fact to support their views and only a handful suggested any idea on how they’d fix what they described as a “wasteful” “lib” program filled with “fraud”’ run by “union pukes” and “the feckless amateurs in this lawless administration.”

So, since it’s Easter, maybe we can — charitably and with love, of course — offer a few facts to calm our angry brothers and sisters. For example:

hat do an executive director for a commodity group, financial advisor, teacher, cattle rancher, vice president in a power co-op, and a state senator all have in common?

They were the 1989-90 Minnesota State FFA Officer Team.

Over the next several pages you’ll meet Jon Brekke, Roger Reinert, Allen “Al” Schoenfeld, Jeremy Freking, Michael Busch and Cindy Yerbich Bruning, and find out where they are now and what they’ve been doing for the last 25 years.

Another thing these officers hold in common is they all credit FFA with helping them develop leadership and public speaking skills, which have played a major role in their lives and careers.

The 2015 Minnesota FFA Convention is April 26-28. This year’s theme — “Reach” — is two-fold. The Minnesota FFA Officer Team is celebrating a year of outreach and service to members, said current state reporter Erin Larson of New Richland, Minn.

“Reach” is also meant to motivate members to reach for their potential, said Larson, with general sessions inspiring members to Reach Within, Reach Out, Reach Beyond and Reach Deep.

“I think members are going to really enjoy our speakers,” she said.

For instance, the Peterson Farm Brothers from Kansas are offering a behindthe-scenes look at their social media movement to inform the public about life on their farm.

“Members will connect with their story of telling the importance of agriculture,” she said.

“FFA — that was my proving ground,” said Brekke. ❖

25 Years Later: FFA ignited spark to serve country “As a state legislator, not only are you working with different people, but you are learning about all the corners of the state,” he said.

Earning his American FFA Degree was a major achievement for a kid who didn’t grow up on the farm. The National FFA Convention was also a highlight. Reinert credits Minnesota FFA advisor Paul Day for “changing us as people.”

“He taught us to be adults. You learned courtesies like opening doors, standing up when someone came to sit at your table,” he said. “My girlfriend gets the benefit in that I know how to escort her up the stairs when she’s wearing heels.”

Day ensured that state officers did not fit the stereotype of a small town or farm kid, and expected each state officer to be a “professional mature adult” representing FFA. While the Navy built on this, the concept was first instilled by Day. “He did not hesitate to let you know if you were not making the standard,” said Reinert.

Being a state FFA officer wasn’t all work. At one event, Reinert and President Jon Brekke reenacted the “Top Gun” scene in which Tom Cruise and his buddy sing “You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feelin’.”

“Great people,” said Reinert. “We just had fun. I truly enjoyed serving with that group of people.” ❖

His dad, Dale Busch — St. James High School ag teacher and FFA advisor — inspired him to join FFA. Dale Busch was the first generation in the family to work off the farm. Busch also looked up to previous state officers.

His years in FFA were a positive experience that offered career opportunities, leadership development and personal growth.

“The skills and leadership from my FFA years, particularly as an FFA officer, provided public speaking ability, organization and leadership skills,” he said.

During his interview with The Land, memories of FFA friends, mentors and experiences flooded back for Busch. He recalled reciting the FFA creed, especially the value to be honest and fair in the game of life.

Busch’s advice for today’s FFA members: “Work hard and enjoy every moment. The friendships and experience will stay with you all your life.” ❖

Iowa high school’s ag program planted in prayer

By RENAE B. VANDER SCHAAF The Land Correspondent ORANGE CITY, Iowa — Many schools can boast of a heritage of FFA chapters that date back for decades, some even to FFA’s beginnings in 1928 when Walter A. Newman proposed an organization that would offer farm boys a “a greater opportunity for self-expression and for the development of leadership.”

Each year less than a handful of schools elect to begin an FFA chapter.

This can only happen when a school includes agriculture studies in their curriculum. Unity Christian High School in Orange City, Iowa, has done just that.

“The ag program came about as a result of a board strategic retreat in 2012,” said Wayne Dykstra, UCHS principal. “At this retreat the No. 1 action was to build a hands-on program at Unity in the vocational education area. That eventually became ag.”

Several board members visited schools with strong ag and vocational ed programs, said Dykstra. The visits to Rock Valley and West Lyon high schools really got the process rolling.

Notices were posted that an ag teacher was needed. Dennis Benson generally ignored those, but this email he retained. UCHS hadn’t received many inquiries for their search for an ag teacher.

On a Tuesday in February, Dykstra asked the mom’s prayer group to pray about it.

The next day the Board for Maple Valley-Anthon Oto school district did something unusual. The Board offered early retirement for those who qualified.

Benson qualified. For the last 35 years he had taught ag courses and was the FFA advisor for the school district.

On Thursday, Benson called Mike Schouten, an ag instructor at Dordt College. Benson knew Schouten professionally and through Schouten’s involvement in volleyball. Benson is also a volleyball coach.

Schouten’s response was that he was on the committee for developing Unity’s ag instruction. He encouraged Benson to apply.

“Because Mr. Benson is a great ag instructor that has developed an outstanding ag program and FFA chapter at Maple Valley-Anthon Oto High school,” said Schouten. “Mr. Benson has the right personality and experience to get Unity’s ag program started on the right track.”

Friday morning, Benson and Dykstra talked again by phone. On Sunday, the Bensons came up to have a look at the school. Within six days of the Unity mom’s prayer group praying for an ag instructor, the high school had its first ag instructor.

“God has had his hand in making all this work,” said Benson. “I am convinced that I am where I should be now.”

“Unity is blessed to have this veteran teacher,” said Schouten. “It takes a lot of time and work to start an ag program and FFA chapter. I am thankful that Mr. Benson is up for that challenge.”

Seeding an ag program Developing a new ag program is an arduous task. Benson first thought it would be fairly simple to take 35 years of work and get it done in two months.

That work even included building a shop — the room 36 feet by 45 feet was there. It needed to be redesigned and outfitted with tools the students would need. Since Unity Christian is a priSee UNITY, pg. 11A

“There is so much to know about agriculture,” he said. “Each trip is planned to show something different and to teach an appreciation for our natural resources.”

A trip to Alaska is among his favorite trips. The FFA members saw a reindeer farm, musk ox operation and a salmon hatchery. He is planning a canoe trip to the Boundary Waters that will include Soudan Underground Iron Mines, International Wolf Center and a honey bee operation. ❖

SMSU to begin offering ag education major

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Minnesota is running short on ag teachers. The University of Minnesota isn’t graduating enough ag ed majors to fill the gap.

Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall to the rescue.

“Starting this August 2015, we’ll Gerald Toland be offering an ag education major with two options: become a high school ag teacher or change a few courses and become an agricultural marketing/ communications specialist,” said Gerald Toland, Ph.D. Toland is a professor of agribusiness and economics at SMSU. The University of Minnesota is graduating 14 to 15 students in agricultural education per year, but the openings for ag teachers in Minnesota is currently about 35, said Toland.

“So we have an obvious gap,” he said, “which right now is mostly being filled by qualified ag ed graduates from the surrounding states. But those states are also facing ag teacher shortages. It’s not just a Minnesota problem; it’s a national challenge.”

Supply and demand is why this is happening.

According to Toland, there’s an increased interest by high schools nationwide wanting to teach agriculture to their students. As science keeps expand-

Minnesota, Iowa crop progress report Anhydrous supply issues reported in Southwest Iowa Minnesota farmers took advantage of the 2.7 days suitable for fieldwork to start planting small grains during the week ending April 5, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. This was the most days suitable to start the growing season since 2012.

Frost was reportedly still coming out of the ground in the northern two-thirds of the state, and producers were waiting to evaluate the extent of winter kill in alfalfa. Field activities for the week included applying fertilizer, spreading manure, and tilling fields.

Topsoil moisture supplies were rated five percent very short, 35 percent short, 59 percent adequate, and one percent surplus. Subsoil moisture supplies were rated four percent very short, 35 percent short, 61 percent adequate, and zero percent surplus.

Five percent of Minnesota’s oat acreage was planted, over two weeks ahead of last year but three days behind the five-year average. There were scattered reports of barley and spring wheat being planted, except in the northern part of the state.

Pasture condition rated four percent very poor, 18 percent poor, 56 percent fair, 22 percent good, and zero percent excellent. Respondents reported that dry conditions have limited pasture growth. Livestock producers reported calving progressing with no major complications.

Iowa Warm temperatures and mostly dry conditions over much of the state allowed farmers to continue anhydrous applications and tillage activities during the week ending April 5, according to NASS. However, reports of lingering frost in northern Iowa fields were received.

Anhydrous supply issues were reported in areas of Southwest Iowa. Statewide there were 4.2 days suitable for fieldwork. East central and southeastern Iowa were the only two districts in the State that averaged over five days suitable for fieldwork.

Topsoil moisture levels rated three percent very short, 25 percent short, 70 percent adequate and two percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated three percent very short, 24 percent short, 71 percent adequate and two percent surplus, significantly higher than 2014 percentage when two-thirds of Iowa reported short to very short subsoil moisture.

Seventeen percent of oats have been planted, four days ahead of last year, but four days behind the fiveyear average.

Pasture condition rated four percent very poor, 15 percent poor, 48 percent fair, 30 percent good, and three percent excellent. Livestock conditions were described as average, with the mostly dry weather aiding calving and lambing conditions in the state.

More turkey flocks test positive for avian flu

By MARIE WOOD The Land Associate Editor More Minnesota turkey flocks tested positive for H5N2, the highlypathogenic avian influenza, for a total of nine infected sites as of April 8.

Two sites in Kandiyohi County were identified: one with 26,000 birds and another with 30,000 birds. A third flock in Stearns County with 76,000 birds was identified. The latest infected flock with 310,000 turkeys is in Meeker County.

Poultry are at risk for the virus due to the return of migratory waterfowl on the Mississippi flyway, according to Bill Hartmann, state veterinarian with the Minnesota Board of Animal Health.

It is not known, however, how the virus is getting into the turkey barns.

“We do not know the exact mechanism that the virus is getting into the barns,” said Hartmann. “Our poultry

industry is practicing good biosecurity.

It’s not just Minnesota, but nationwide, since this is happening in other states.”

Biosecurity is more critical than ever. One turkey producer told Hartmann that nothing that touches the ground outside of the barn should touch the ground inside the barn. So boots and coveralls should be used only inside one particular barn.

One barn of three in the new Stearns County site was infected and one of four barns on Kandiyohi site 1 was infected as of April 6. Both Kandiyohi

producers noted increased death loss.

While Minnesota law prevents Hartmann from disclosing the location of the infected flocks, he said the two Stearns County infected flocks are two to three miles apart and the third site is further out. The Kandiyohi farm is not on the Stearns-Kandiyohi border.

“We can’t find any connection where it would have been spread from one farm to the other,” said Hartmann.

Under quarantine Once flocks test positive, state officals quarantine the premises and euthanize the birds on the property. State officials also work with the producers to develop flock plans which include appraisal and indemnity agreements, carcass disposal and cleaning and disinfection of the facilities.

As of April 8, the total number of turkeys affected with the virus was 683,000 reported the Minnesota Board of Animal Health.

This represents a very small percentage of the number of turkeys in Minnesota and it’s too early to tell how the virus will affect the turkey market, said Margaret Hart, communications director of the Minnesota Department of Agriculture.

No. 1 turkey producer Minnesota has about 450 farms raising 46 million turkeys annually, according to the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association. Minnesota is the No. 1 turkey producer in the United States, and Kandiyohi is the No. 1 producing county, followed by Stearns.

With the virus affecting the heart of where turkey is grown, state officials have brought in an incident management team and field staff from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to assist with the workload.

In Minnesota and in other parts of the country, the virus has caused no infections in poultry producers who have had intense contact with infected birds, she said.

The state Department of Health identifies people

working on the affected farm and interviews them.

Those who have had intense contact with the birds are recommended an antiviral medication such as Tamiflu. Then for 10 days following the last exposure, respiratory symptoms are monitored via text, phone or e-mail.

The virus thrives in cold, damp situations so as weather warms, we may see less of the virus, Hartmann said. In the meantime, he is mobilizing to stop the spread.

“A lot of people are on the ground and prepared to make sure we get rid of this,” said Hartmann.

Every turkey flock is tested prior to going to the processing plant to ensure that infected turkeys do not go to market, he said.

Waterfowl The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is responding to the outbreak by testing wild waterfowl in the affected counties. Michelle Carstensen, DNR wildlife health program supervisor, said staff will bait birds to get them to come to shore in order to gather fresh fecal matter for lab testing.

State DNR staff will practice good biosecurity in their staff and vehicles, she said.

“We are not going to be able to change the way the birds are moving through the environment,” said Carstensen.

The goal is to raises awareness and understand the prevalence of the virus in the environment, she said. “Wild waterfowl are the reservoirs for these viruses.”

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

CORN — The March 31 U.S. Department of Agriculture Prospective Planting and Grain Stocks as of March 1 reports set the tone going forward, but the planting weather just moved up the ladder of importance. Let’s address the stocks report first.

Corn stocks as of March 1 were 7.745 billion bushels, 136 million bushels more than expected and 737 million more bushels (11 percent increase) than we had available a year ago.

On-farm stocks were 4.38 bil- PHYLLIS NYSTROM lion bushels (up 13 percent yearCHS Hedging Inc. to-year) and off-farm bushels St. Paul were 3.36 billion bushels (up 7 percent year-to-year). In Minnesota, corn stocks were 773 million bushels versus 796 million bushels last year.

The percentage of on-farm stocks at 57 percent is the highest in the last five years. The implication is second quarter feed/residual of 1.43 billion bushels and brings first half feed/residual usage at 3.65 billion bushels. Over the last four years, first half feed/residual accounted for 73-76 percent of annual feed use. The new number equates to just 69 percent of annual usage. This could set the table for upward revisions toward 2 billion bushels on 2014-15 ending stocks on subsequent reports.

Corn planted acreage was reported at 89.2 million acres, down two percent or 1.4 million acres from last year, slightly higher than the 88.7 million acre estimate. This would be the third consecutive year of

The livestock markets are starting the month of April with a positive attitude toward both the hog and cattle markets. Both markets have seen cash prices and the futures market improve during the past few weeks — the hogs from improved demand for pork, and cattle because of tight supplies of live inventory.

The cattle market continues to prove to have good underlying support due to the significant tight supplies. This is forcing the packers to compete for live inventories through aggressive bidding, which keeps the cash price in a firm stance.

JOE TEALE The futures market has been Broker reluctant to follow this scenario Great Plains Commodity as, from a demand standpoint, Afton, Minn. the market is weak, and the boxed beef trade is noticeably well below in volume over the past couple of years.

For the near term, it does not appear that this struggle between supply and demand will cease.

Therefore the possibility is good that the cash trade in cattle will remain firm and the futures market will continue to lag behind the cash price.

The reason for the disconnect between cash and futures is that the futures are anticipating the change in supplies along with the continued sluggish demand for beef. On the other hand, the cash is a straight reflection of the current condition of a tight supply of market-ready cattle. Producers should continue to monitor both supply and demand conditions and protect inventories as needed.

The hog market, after a long sustained decline in

I was able to attend Commodity Classic at the end of February in Phoenix, Ariz. This is a large convention that features National Corn Growers, Soybean and Sorghum associations. It features a trade show and many informational seminars. This year had record attendance, with over 3,700 farmers.

The hot topic, the new buzz word, was “big data.” You have probably heard about it and everyone is wondering how do we use it, compile it, and who owns it and has access to it. Those items will be sorted through and figured out, but it might take a while.

One of the interesting seminars I attended was a speaker talking ANDY HUNEKE about the grain markets. As you AgStar Director Leasing & Trade Credit can imagine, there are a lot of Northfield, Minn. opinions on where the markets may be heading and each speaker has a different perspective.

As I listened to the speaker, he was telling his farmer audience that the corn and soybean markets, as he sees them, are bullish, which means they have upside potential.

This surprised me somewhat and he continued talking about the upside and that we should not be discouraged with the market as it will be moving higher.

The entire time I was concerned that everyone in that room will just hold on to their crop and not market until the price goes a lot higher, and there is no guarantee of that happening. People remember what they want to hear.

As the speaker was summarizing his presentation, he made a few comments that, hopefully, everyone

See HUNEKE, pg. 19A

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.

Prospective soybean planting tops 84 million acres income tax. The strikes may slow the export pace, but it’s too early to say what impact it could have on U.S. exports. Argentina’s soybean harvest is pegged at 7 percent complete versus nearly 10 percent last year.

Weekly export sales for old crop were a disappointment at just one million bushels, but were an impressive 21 million bushels for new crop. Total commitments for 2014-15 continue to run nine percent ahead of last year, but 2015-16 sales are half what they were last year at this juncture. We need to average 2.6 million bushels per week in old crop sales to hit the USDA forecast of 1.79 billion bushels.

OUTLOOK: On March 31, May soybeans traded an 18 3⁄4 cent range in the first minute after the USDA reports were released in indecisive trading. The soybean reports were generally viewed as bullish. By the end of the short week of trading, May soybeans were up 18 3⁄4 cents at $9.86 per bushel and November soybeans were 25 1⁄2 cents higher at $9.74 1⁄4 per bushel. However, going

forward, we may expect soybean acreage numbers to climb, and let us not forget the current year on year forecast for an increase in ending stocks. May soybeans find first support at $9.50 with resistance at $10.00 per bushel. After this week’s spike lower, support in the November contract is $9.33 with first resistance at $9.90, then $10.05 per bushel.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending April 2: Chicago wheat rallied 28 1⁄2 cents higher, Minneapolis wheat was up 20 1⁄2 cents and Kansas City wheat jumped 29 3⁄4 cents higher.

Wheat stocks as of March 1 were reported at 1.124 billion bushels, up six percent year-to-year, but in line with forecasts. All wheat acres at 55.4 million were slightly less than expectations and down three percent year on year. May crude oil was up 27 cents for the week to settle at $49.14, ultra-low-sulfur diesel dropped nearly four cents, reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending was 3 1⁄2 cents lower and natural gas gained 7 1⁄2 cents. The U.S. dollar index was down 0.746 for the week. ❖

HUNEKE, from pg. 18A heard. He is bullish on the market, but believes we could get to $4.75 futures on corn and maybe $11.00 on soybeans.

I would be willing to bet that all the people in the room thought he was earlier projecting $5.50 corn and $13.00 beans when he started out talking about a bullish market.

Sharp rally unlikely in pork TEALE, from pg. 18A price, is finally showing signs of improving. The fact that the numbers of market-ready hogs has declined and the demand for pork remains strong has bolstered the current rally in prices.

A question still remains as to whether or not this is a mere correction in an oversold market or the beginning of a new trend. Because of the amount of pork in cold storage, it is likely that this current change in direction will meet some resistance due to that supply of pork.

This will make a sharp rally in price

fairly unlikely unless there are more fundamental changes in either supply or demand.Thanks to the disparity between hog and cattle prices, the demand in pork should remain more attractive than beef at the wholesale level.

The other positive news item was that the U.S. Department of Agriculture Hogs and Pigs report indicated not as many hogs are expected in the months ahead. This should help keep a more positive posture to the hog market in the weeks ahead.

Producers are urged to remain current with their inventories and protect future marketings as warranted. ❖

SOYBEANS — The USDA reports were the highlight of the holidayshortened week. Recapping the soybean stocks report, the 1.334 billion bushel stocks as of March 1 were in-line with trade expectations, but up 34 percent from last year’s 994 million bushels on March 1. Of the stocks, 609 million were on-farm (60 percent higher year-to-year and the highest since 2010) and 725 million off-farm (up 18 percent year-toyear). Minnesota stocks were 122 million bushels versus 109 million bushels last year. The soybean stock report was interpreted at neutral.

Prospective planting came in at a record 84.635 million acres, up one percent or 934,000 acres from last year’s 83.7 million acres, but 1.3 million acres less than the pre-report forecasts. Historically, in five of the last six years, the June soybean acreage report has been bigger than the March estimate so depending on planting weather many will look for some degree of added acres on future reports.

State by state planting changes from last year were as follows: Minnesota up 150,000, Arkansas up 210,000 acres, Illinois and Indiana up 100,000 each, Iowa up 200,000, Ohio up 250,000 acres; decreases were noted in Kansas with 200,000 less acres, Nebraska 300,000 lower, and North Dakota 100,000 less acres. With acreage expected to increase going forward based on history and delayed corn planting in the South, outlooks for 2015-16 ending stocks should keep any new crop upside potential in check.

Brazilian harvest moved forward to nearly 90 percent complete as of the end of April 1 and in-line with average progress. Brazilian farmers had sold only 53 percent of their crop by that date, behind last year’s 63 percent sold when they had a smaller crop. This means more competition for the United States. They have reportedly started to sell their 2015-16 crop with their currency at 12-year lows.

Argentina’s one-day transportation strike on March 31 continued into day two. Discussions between the Argentine government and truckers will continue for 15 days and no major disruptions are expected during that time.

The Buenos Aires Cereal Exchange increased its Argentine bean crop outlook from 57 million metric tons to 58.5 mmt. The last USDA outlook was 56 mmt. Crush workers are striking for a pay increase and an increase in the income level from which workers are exempt from paying national

THE LAND, APRIL 10, 2015

NYSTROM, from pg. 18A corn acreage declines and the lowest acreage since 2010. Minnesota acreage was 8.5 million acres, up 300,000 from 2014. Wisconsin showed a 100,000-acre increase, while Illinois, Ohio and Missouri all showed a 200,000-acre decline.

Iowa, North Dakota and Indiana were down 100,000 each, and South Dakota had a huge 600,000-acre decrease.

Sorghum acreage was estimated at 7.9 million acres, below pre-report ideas, but up 762,000 from last year.

Of the principal crops planted in the United States, this year’s acreage is down 2 million acres from last year at 324.8 million acres and comparable to 2013 acres of 324.9 million acres.

Funds were huge sellers on report day, before rebuying about half of it by the end of the short trading week.

Weekly export sales were on the low side of expectations and the second smallest of the marketing year at 16 million bushels for old crop and one million bushels for new crop. We need to average 17.6 million bushels per week to achieve the USDA outlook for 1.8 billion bushels of exports. The weekly average, if accomplished, would be the highest in five years from this point in the marketing year.

An interesting part of this week’s sales included Japan canceling their entire sorghum open book. Sorghum has been trading at a premium to corn due to China’s record buying interest (no genetically modified organism issues with U.S. sorghum), giving sorghum buyers the opportunity to cancel sorghum and buy corn.

OUTLOOK: Corn took a big price hit on report day, bounced the following day, but at the end of the holiday-shortened week May corn was down 4 1⁄2 cents at $3.86 1⁄2 per bushel. The December contract dropped 4 1⁄4 cents for the week to close at $4.10 1⁄2 per bushel. The USDA reports were termed bearish overall.

The upside in corn is limited given the heavy stocks number, but the downside may be limited until the crop is in the ground with planting delays in the South and the Ohio River Valley.

The first official planting progress report will be released on April 6.

Traders may also be building in a risk premium for spring weather, which is not unusual. May corn’s short term range is $3.67 to $4.00 and the December corn range is $3.92 to $4.22 per bushel. The monthly USDA report will be released April 9. Based on the higher March 1 corn stocks number, an increase in ending stocks will be anticipated.

Dispute over big solar park heats up in Marshall

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer MARSHALL, Minn. — Controversy is heating up over a 500-acre solar park to be built near Marshall, in Stanley township. Florida-based NextEra Energy Resources, the energy giant behind this project, also acquired a portion of the Buffalo Ridge Wind Farm turbines in 2003.

Farmers John and Janelle Geurts’ property line borders the proposed solar park. Janelle suspects it will be May before the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission and NextEra officials will have a public meeting in Marshall.

The Geurts and neighboring farmers have united with a Save Our Farms online petition. The petition asks signers to oppose the 500-acre, 62.25 megawatt solar park to be built

by NextEra Energy.

The petition states: “Ten family farms will live within one mile of the land, where rich and abundant crops grown for decades will be replaced by an inefficient and out of place energy

source. We are concerned of the possible health risks being forced upon these families, the value of their properties depleting, the disruption of natural habitat and the loss of county control.”

As of April 8, the petition has 510 signatures with a goal of 1,000 signatures. The petition and signatures will be presented to the MPUC and Next Era officials at the public meeting.

“We’re passing this petition along to Governor Dayton to let him know the opposition to this project,” said Janelle Geurts.

A new state mandate requires utility companies to generate 1.5 percent of electricity from the sun by 2020.

“The solar industry has really gone to town with this mandate,” said Geurts. “It’s not that we’re against solar. It’s the simple fact that 500 acres of very prime farmland will be taken out of food production. CapX is built alongside this solar park area so they had an easy and logical choice for this location.”

CapX2020 is an expanded electric

transmission grid that supports renewable energy in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

The Geurts are longtime farming friends of the land owners selling the acres to the solar project.

“We’re still are friends, even though it’s a bit awkward now. We heard they considered pulling back on the project but now it’s too late,” said Geurts.

John Geurts said that the project will have a 25-year life, but he wonders what the condition of that soil will be after 25 years of void conditions.

“It’s disturbing. We all take a lot of pride in how we take care of our land and our farming responsibilities,” said Janelle Geurts. “We have serious concerns how this land will farm after being blanketed with solar panels for 25 years. John and I have both gotten well educated on renewable and solar energy.”

The proposed solar park made the March 29 Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Business and energy writer David Shaffer wrote that “Energy companies

have proposed 25 sites across the state for ground-mounted solar panels.”

Lyon County farmer Tom Allex also voiced concerns. He said there could be other locations that have less prime land and do not crowd people. He said seven farm residences live within a half mile of this proposed site.

“Our biggest concern is that we think the property values of these seven neighboring farms will be cut in half.

I’m a half mile away but wonder if this might also lower my farm value,” he said.

Allex understands the state mandate for clean, non-polluting power.

“But the problem is we’re taking 500 acres of prime farmland without consideration to all the neighbors,” he said. “One neighbor will have solar panels on all four sides of his farm.

They’ve now agreed to move them back, a bigger setback so it’s not right up against your house and property.”

Allex is concerned about inverters used in generating solar energy.

Project opponent: ‘There’s absolutely no benefit to us’ SOLAR, from pg. 20A Inverters give off a radio frequency.

“There’s a little danger there,” said Allex. “This can be a cancer-causing situation according to some internet information. They (project developers) admit there can be a danger, but these panels will be located far enough from

houses so that shouldn’t be a problem.

Apparently they are concerned enough so now they are putting in only half as many inverters, but they will each be twice as large.”

Accessing these land parcels is a matter of money according to Allex.

“You offer some farmer twice as

much as what his land is worth and you’ve bought it,” he said.

Project details are slowly unfolding.

Allex learned that solar parks larger than 50 mega watts must be controlled by the state.

“So our local county commissioners and township boards have virtually

nothing to say,” he said.

Double-cropping part of new farming landscape HATFIELD, from pg. 23A corn and soybeans become questionable crop choices. Perhaps winter crops will predominate because the heat and variability of rainfall will seriously limit spring crops. Today the climate models aren’t specific enough to spell out what crops will best work

20 years from now. However a classic example is the winter wheat belt which has been moving north out of Texas, Oklahoma, even parts of Kansas because of less seasonal moisture.

Hatfield: Yes, I think so. Look at what plant breeders have done already.

Hybrids have become much more stress tolerant to both heat and moisture extremes. But the reality is that we’re getting to the point in climate that even those attributes in plants aren’t able to withstand the greater stress of weather.

That was our prediction in the 2014 report, “The Effects of Climate Change on Agriculture, Land Resources, Water Resources and Biodiversity.” We indicated agriculture would be relatively safe until 2050. But at that point and beyond with increasing temperatures and stress conditions, crops that we grow today may not be able to cope with the environment beyond 2050.

Q: Are our intensive ag practices accelerating these challenges?

Hatfield: Actually we have a more stable agriculture here in the United States comparable with other parts of the world. Africa, India, China, Australia — all those areas of the globe are likely going to experience a lot more climate change and a lot more negative impacts on their agriculture than will the United States. Here in the United States we farm in a somewhat temperate zone with all sorts of variations happening but our climate continues to favor our agriculture more so than agriculture in other countries. We are blessed with really good soils. India, a huge country now with the largest population, is still self-sufficient in food production. But 20 years from now that likely won’t be so. The major problem

with China is that they have so degraded their soil resources over the years that their crop productivity will be forever challenged. Any disruption in climate will cause a major disruption in production in China.

Q: Can the U.S. farm bill do anything to rectify what is happening to our landscape?

Hatfield: One would hope that increasing emphasis on conservation practices and renewed emphasis on promoting diversity of cropping systems can be a major thrust of any farm bill. Our farm bills really promote monocultures yet we know the long-term values of our land resources are not enhanced that way. We really need to promote much more diversity into our rural landscape.

Q: Can double cropping with selected fall-seeded cover crops be part of that new landscape?

Hatfield: Definitely. Even pennycress, mostly regarded as a weed, can work when double cropped with soybeans. The demand for oil seed crops keeps expanding. I think pennycress is a good example of domesticating a weed into a viable oil crop. Plus it’s a nice niche of what I advocate, and that is promoting rotations. I look at pennycress as an economic cover crop. We just need to figure out the best way to grow it and double cropping with soybeans is an alternative. Ingenuity in agriculture that promotes diversity with a very viable crop for the end user is our challenge. ❖

Farming proponents challenge study on wetland loss

By NANCY MADSEN Mankato Free Press Farm advocates are challenging some of the assumptions and conclusions drawn by a University of Wisconsin-Madison study that calculated the number of acres added to row crops across the country.

The study, which used satellite data from three different sources to analyze land conversion from 2008 to 2012, was published April 2 in the journal Environmental Research Letters. The study determined that Minnesota had the greatest amount of acres of wetlands converted to row crops — 5,000 acres — and was No. 2 in conversion of forest to row crops, with 13,000 acres of conversion.

In Minnesota, about 216,000 total acres were converted into row crops, with the greatest concentrations along the borders of the North Woods region with not much change in south central Minnesota.

But Kevin Paap, president of the Minnesota Farm Bureau, said the study uses selective dates that show high numbers for conversion to crop land, when within the following few years, crop land acreage dropped. In Minnesota, land used for all crops increased by 231,000 acres between 2008 and 2012, but then fell by 268,000 acres by 2014, he said.

Environmental group Friends of the Mississippi River Water Program Director Trevor Russell said that the greatest changes in the state have been in the north central area with a “pines to potatoes” conversion and the Red River valley, which is hosting new crops of corn. “There isn’t any more land in south or southwest Minnesota,” he said.

Minor Roof Leaks?

CALL US!

The reason for the added acreage was higher commodity prices, especially for corn and soybeans. The report credited the Renewable Fuel Standard, which requires a certain volume of fuel blended in gasoline to come from renewable sources, as the driver for the increased commodity prices and conversion of land to row crop use.

Corn is the primary source of the renewable fuel and would fill more than half of the added acres, according to the University of Wisconsin research.

But Paap said, “It really came down to weather. We had poor crops while many countries were increasing wants for protein, primarily China. So we had growing demand at a time when the supply was going down. Ethanol had an effect, but it was only part of the reason.”

The study argued that many of the lands put into crop use had been marginal. “New expansion occurred most frequently on marginal land that had severe to very severe limitations to cultivation, whereas previous croplands were most concentrated on prime farmland characterized by fewer limitations,” the study said.

But Paap said farmers enrolled in federal programs for crop insurance or conservation land rental cannot farm on any wetlands converted since 1985 or any highly-erodible soil without mitigation. Russell said some wetlands in other parts of the state have been converted.

The study indicated that one source of land converted to crop land was land owned by farmers enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program, a fed-

eral program in which the government pays a rent to a farmer for not farming crop land for 10 to 15 years.

Russell said 600,000 acres have come out of the federal program in Minnesota since 2007, with the majority going back to agricultural use.

Many farmers put crop land in the program when crop prices were low, Paap said, but with higher prices available during the study period, may have farmed part or all of it again as their program contracts ended.

But, he said, while land under that program decreased, acres that are more environmentally valuable may have been enrolled in similar programs.

For example, the number of acres in the Wetland Reserve Program and Reinvest in Minnesota Wetland Reserve Program increased from 72,433 acres in 2008 to 100,763 acres in 2012 and to 110,952 acres in 2014.

Now, the prices for corn and soybeans have dropped. Study author and university graduate student Tyler Lark said this could leave farmers in a difficult spot.

Nationwide, millions of extra acres were farmed during the period when higher prices were available, but the 2014 farm bill cut the number of acres in the Conservation Reserve Program because of lower demand.

“Farmers could be left with excess poor quality cropland and no alternative but to continue cropping it,” Lark said.

Assessing climate and weather data, Seeley said he thinks more diversity in the cropping program will be needed to sustain Minnesota farming landscape and its productive soils.

More frequent spells of limited moisture during the growing season seem inevitable. That puts even more importance on maintaining a soil structure that stores water efficiently.

He also foresees a changing crop mix and less mono-culture farming.

“I think 10 years down the road we will have both the technology and the knowledge to manage a changing cropping scenario,” Seeley said. ❖

Soybeans’ genetic future focus of Symposium

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer The future of soybeans — courtesy of genetic advances — was the focus of the Soybean Symposium at the March 19 University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Chanhassen, Minn. The annual event is sponsored by the Minnesota Soybean Research & Promotion Council, which directs the investment of soybean checkoff funding.

The bulk of the checkoff — $2.2 million in 2014 — was directed into the genetic research and agronomics of growing soybeans. Gene Stoel, chairman of the Minnesota Production action team, emphasized the importance of genetic and agronomic soybean research because soybean growers, at least in the immediate future, need

research that can pay dividends fairly quickly.

Stoel is a soybean and corn producer from Lake Wilson, Minn.

Even though global oil seed production is increasing and the strong U.S. dollar is slowing exports, Stoel said countries around the world still want U.S. soybeans.

“They say our soybeans perform better,” he said. “Those guys if they have the money to buy our beans will be back to buy our beans. Right now who knows what’s going to happen. There are so many political events and other issues happening that potentially impact soybean exports so U.S. production isn’t the key.

“Because of stronger amino acid profiles our Minnesota soybean performs better in livestock nutrition. But we’re researching to determine other characteristics that identify why our Minnesota soybean is a better performer for end users.”

Argentina boosted soybean production substantially and many speculators expected a two-million-acre increase in U.S. soybean production.

“Nobody really knows at this point for either corn or soybean acres. Every farmer will be making that decision on their own. It’s a matter of how to become a least-cost producer,” said Stoel.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Prospective Plantings report released March 3, an increase of 846,000 soybean acres is expected for 2015.

Genetic progress has been significant in soybeans, said Stoel.

“The universities, including our U of M, do much of the basic genetic research. But today we rely on specific private companies to produce and bring those varieties to us,” he said.

“However, it’s research we do with checkoff dollars that lays the ground-

work for those companies to build on.

One thing I don’t see private companies picking up on is soybean aphid resistance and incorporating that material into new genetics.”

While aphid resistant varieties are on the market today, Stoel said there should be more.

“The past two years I’ve been in university plots showing terrific aphid resistance,” he said. “They were using two and three, and even four types of resistance genes and calling them ‘pyramids.’ Aphids are fast-developing bugs so they can quickly adapt to different resistance schemes, but by using this pyramided approach that resistant level doesn’t switch real quick. I think that strategy has to be used and will pay big dividends in the long run.”

In the short term, forecasters are predicting below-normal precipitation for the Upper Midwest. Even with less rain, Stoel does not consider soybeans a more profitable dry season crop over corn.

“When I run my cash flows, corn still comes out on top,” he said. “Nobody can See SOYBEANS, pg. 29A

Orf: Molecular tech providing ‘significant advancements’ ularly for those species where we don’t feed a lot of corn. We’re making progress but we’re not yet at the levels we’d like. Part of that is there is not much variability in the soybean germplasm. So maybe we need to look at mutagenesis or other techniques to get higher levels.”

Bob Stupar said site-directed mutagenesis and RNA interference technology are tools of the future of genomics and genetics. RNAi is a pathway to regulate gene expression. Mutagenesis is the process that causes a mutation.

“Our goal is a soybean with plus-80 percent oleic oil and minus-three percent low lenic scores,” said Stupar.

“Soybeans have rapidly become a con-

sumer-driven commodity.”

High oleic soybeans produce oil with increased functionality, which has benefit for food and industrial users and could increase the value of all U.S. soybeans. Recognizing this potential to revolutionize the soy oil industry, the U.S. soybean checkoff set a goal of 18 million planted acres of high oleic soybeans by 2023.

Surprisingly, high oleic oil soybeans are not necessarily the favorite of all end users. McDonald’s has tried high oleic oils but said the fries don’t have as much taste. You can add flavors back into the cooking grease, however, so why not get the better oil, suggested Orf. ❖

cycle. We can now use these marker genes in populations of 5,000 to 10,000 plants to find individual plants with three or four of the traits we want.

“So molecular technology is providing significant advancements in how we can screen larger populations, find the traits we are looking for, and do it quicker.”

The first three to four years of a breeding program are most critical, Orf said. Next product evaluation and seed production are necessary in order to move a new variety into market, but seeds are moving to market in about two to three years less time.

“So we’re talking about 10 years from start to finish,” he said.

On the strong amino acid scores for Minnesota-grown soybeans, Orf pointed out that soybeans are low in the sulphur amino acids which are methionine, cystine, lysine, threonine, and tryptophan.

“Increasing all five of those amino acids would certainly make soybean meal a better product,” he said, “partic-

Bean-on-beans opens producers up to more disease and insect issues, said Stoel.

Breeding techniques At the Soybean Symposium, a panel of scientists and researchers discussed the future of soybean genomics and genetics, including faster breeding techniques, protein content and high oleic soybeans.

Soybean breeder Jim Orf explained how marker-assisted selection is the breeding strategy that works best for improving protein content of soybeans because many genes are involved.

“With these new technologies we screen literally hundreds of genes simultaneously for traits such as protein, yield and disease resistance,” said Orf. “That’s exciting because in the past we mostly worked on one trait, maybe two traits for each breeding

I was having lunch with a friend. (If you were the guy I used to work with in youth ministry, you would tip your head down, look up from the top of your glasses and ask in a tone of disbelief and skepticism, “You have a friend?”)

I used to set myself up for that one every dang time.

Most of my friends lived in town, and back in the day, I would have given anything for that. It was cooler to live there. I wouldn’t have to drive 10 or 12 miles just to get to a town, wouldn’t need a “good reason to go,” and could hang out with my friends. I wouldn’t have to call long distance to talk to them (which was a huge issue back in the day), and I could even have an actual job instead of relying on babysitting money to give me the cash flow I needed.

It would be years before I actually would live in town and have a real job — which still didn’t give me the cash flow I needed.

ou could not avoid the impact of DanishAmerican sculptor Christian Peterson on the campus of Iowa State University if you tried.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Peterson was ISU’s artist-in-residence from 19341955, and his work is remembered not only at the Christian Petersen Art Museum in Morrill Hall, but all over the university’s sprawling, park-like campus.

Born in 1885 in Denmark, at age 9 Petersen emigrated to New Jersey with his family. He would learn the technical aspects of sculpture in school and developed his artistic skills as a sculptor’s apprentice, eventually finding steady work creating World War I memorials and monuments.

The winds of fate, along with an invitation from

legendary artist Grant Wood — whose murals also grace Iowa State’s campus — brought Petersen to Iowa to work on the Public Works of Art Project as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal program. His first commission at what was then Iowa State College was a fountain for the Dairy Industry Building courtyard, installed in 1935.

What was to have been a temporary position became Petersen’s 21-year residency at ISU, which included teaching sculpture courses in addition to his duties creating works of art on campus. (It is said that his classes were extremely popular, perhaps due in small part to their then-unusual mixing of the male and female student body.)

Agriculture was a recurring theme in Petersen’s

work, including two pieces which now reside in the sculpture garden outside Morrill Hall — “Cornhusker” and “4-H Calf,” both originally created in 1941. As noted on an adjoining plaque, “Petersen was one of the few American sculptors who was genuinely inspired by rural Midwestern life and took it as a subject matter for his sculpture.” He retired in 1955 and died six years later.

The building that is now home to Petersen’s legacy, Morrill Hall, is named in honor of Justin Morrill, the U.S. Congressman from Vermont who sponsored the eponymous bill establishing the landgrant system of agricultural and engineering colleges in the United States. It was signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln in 1862. ❖

whopping 77 cents below a year ago. The 500-pound barrels finished at $1.5950, up a nickel on the week and 63 cents below a year ago. Six cars of block and three of barrel traded hands on the week. The ever lagging NDPSR-surveyed U.S. average block price hit $1.5811 per pound, up 0.7 cent, while the barrels averaged $1.5819, up 1.9 cents.

FC Stone dairy broker Dave Kurzawski, in his Early Morning Update Thursday, raised the question: Is it plausible that solid U.S. demand has absorbed enough of the dairy export losses we have been seeing, at least for the moment?

Dairy Market News reports that Midwest cheese manufacturers continue to receive strong buying interest from many types of customers, retail, food service, and brokers. There was a surprising degree of phone inquiries beginning last Friday from mostly cheese brokers to manufacturers, looking for barrels for immediate delivery, which coincided with the recent run up of CME barrel prices.

“Cheese overall remains a soughtafter commodity,” DMN reported.

“Many regional cheese manufacturers are accepting all the milk they can find and, even in the West, it was observed this week that the depth of the desire to build cheese inventories is greater than had recently been expected and some plants are fortifying vats with nonfat dry milk to improve yields.”

Cash butter jumped 5.25 cents last Friday and 3.25 cents Tuesday only to give back 2.5 cents Wednesday and lose another two cents Thursday and close See MIELKE, pg. 3B

Butter export demand light

3 B THE LAND, APRIL 10, 2015 << MILKER’S MESSAGE >>

MIELKE, from pg. 2B at $1.74 per pound, down 1.25 cents on the week and 23 cents below a year ago. Thirteen carloads were sold this week at the CME. NDPSR butter averaged $1.6719 per pound, down 3.6 cents.

Demand for print butter was strong this year for Easter/Passover, but churning operators have now wrapped up production, reports Dairy Market News.

Some manufacturers are making butter to store for future needs. Cream supplies are tight as ice cream production has increased. Export demand is light at current global pricing levels. Western butter production is varied and some churns are drawing cream from other states to maintain production, but there is adequate butter available to meet customer needs.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed Thursday at 97.75 cents per pound, up a quarter-cent on the week. Only two cars traded hands on the week in the spot market. NDPSR powder averaged 99.18 cents per pound, down 1.6 cents, and dry whey averaged 49.3 cents per pound, up 2.6 cents.

■ The February milk feed price ratio is 2.02, down from January’s 2.09 and compares to 2.59 in February 2014 and 1.52 in February 2013, according to the USDA’s latest Ag Prices report. The index is based on the current milk price in relationship to feed prices for a ration of 51 percent corn, 8 percent soybeans and 41 percent alfalfa hay — in other words, one pound of milk today can purchase 2.02 pounds of dairy feed containing that blend.

The February U.S. average all-milk price dropped to $16.80/cwt., down 80 cents from January and a See MIELKE, pg. 3B

■ Wednesday’s Global Dairy Trade crash was no “April Fool’s” joke, according to HighGround Trading’s Eric Meyer and we talked about it in Friday’s DairyLine. We also know that European dairy producers no longer face over-quota penalties for the first time in 31 years and we see the value of the U.S. dollar versus foreign currencies work against us. I asked Eric if there is any silver lining here.

His answer: “No.” In the short term.

U.S. and global producers are starting to experience milk prices that are extremely low and they may last a bit longer, Meyer warned. The strong U.S. dollar hurts U.S. exports in other regions of the world, particularly Europe, which is poised to take advantage of that along with the removal of

the quotas and that will keep milk production there strong.

The main key, according to Meyer, is that U.S. prices remain uncompetitive to the rest of the world and that means we could see lower prices and potentially hang there for quite some time.

The export market took us to record highs last year and now the export market has brought us much lower prices this year, did we get ourselves in a bad place?

“I don’t think so,” said Meyer. “When you look at the long-term outlook on global dairy consumption, this is your silver lining. We see very strong, positive demand and so at this point in time, we’re in one of those cycles where the world has too much milk. We think that eventually low prices will cure that and we’ll see the upswing happen.

“The question is timing. Is it going to happen in the next three months, maybe even six months, no. Should 2016 look a bit rosier, definitely, but we think that it’s important for producers to have their coverage on for some of the better prices seen on the forward curve for the remainder of this year.”

Return of spring brings livestock care challenges Warm, moist environments are optimum for most bacteria. Animals in these conditions are susceptible to a whole host of issues and diseases. The single most important thing you can do is keep livestock clean and dry. This may require adding extra bedding and changing bedding more often. If you aren’t sure how much bedding to add or if it needs to be changed, try the kneel test. Kneel down into the bedding. If you stand up with wet knees, it means your cows are getting more than wet knees.

Also consider where livestock are housed, like at the bottom of a slope. Obviously buildings can’t be moved, but pens and paddocks could temporarily be relocated to prevent animals from standing in mud. Extended periods of time standing in water, mud, or manure can lead to significant hoof issues such as foot rot.

Another aspect to consider with housing is ventilation. As temperatures increase, so should air exchange rates. This is done to remove any

excess heat. Also look at general air quality. Are your animals breathing heavy? Are their noses runny? You probably don’t have to worry about your cows having a ragweed allergy,

but they should have fresh, clean air.

Tying back to what I said before about damp conditions, air exchange needs to increase if moisture and See CARE, pg. 6B

THE LAND, APRIL 10, 2015

ST. CLOUD, Minn. — Spring has been here for a couple of weeks now.

We’ve had some fairly warm days lately, but we have also dipped below freezing some nights. Spring brings some big changes to our environmentsfluctuating weather, changes in atmospheric pressure, and a big boost in allergens.

Besides our own concerns with the transitioning weather, what about livestock? Each change in season presents its own unique challenges, and winter-to-spring brings some important aspects to keep an eye on.

A major marker of winter’s exit is snowmelt. Most of central Minnesota has already lost its snow, but keep in mind that wet conditions caused by the snowmelt are still present. April is right around the corner, and I’m sure we all remember the old adage about April shower. Spring will bring wet conditions with it, and wet conditions can lead to all sorts of problems for livestock.

Take time to keep livestock dry, comfortable CARE, from pg. 5B ammonia from wet and soiled bedding makes the space damp and smelly. The easiest way to detect a problem is with your ears, eyes, and nose. Do you hear animals coughing or breathing heavily? Can you see rapid nose or chest movement? Does it smell stale and dirty? If you answer, “yes” to any of these questions, then you may need to look at some ventilation improvements.

In addition to thinking spring, now is the time to also think summer. That may seem a little sudden, but taking the time to prepare for summer now will mean you are ready the instant the first heat wave hits. Take some time to look at your heat abatement measures. Make sure fans are properly functioning, complete any routine maintenance and repair any damages. In addition, make sure they are positioned at the proper angles.

<< MILKER’S MESSAGE >>

THE LAND, APRIL 10, 2015

Along with fans, if you have sprinkler or mister systems those should be looked at as well. Make sure hoses are in good condition, without any cracks or holes. Also make sure the water source is properly functioning. These maintenance tasks may seem tedious or non-priority during spring, but checking these systems now could help avoid delays in getting them working properly when the hot weather hits.

For summer time also start thinking about keeping a clean environment. The heat can make environmental pathogens even more prevalent, and some producers will switch their bedding to something non-organic that will also keep animals cooler, like sand. The attention you pay to proper bedding in the spring should also be paid in the summer.

Along with bedding, flies can be a big problem to livestock environment in the summer. Do you know what measures you’ll be taking for fly management?

Assess how fly management was handled last year and if it was effective.

Spring is certainly a busy time, and most time is dedicated to the fields, but don’t forget about your livestock. Keeping them dry and comfortable is crucial to keeping them healthy and productive. Taking some time to plan for the summer months will also help save time in the long run and ensure your animals never skip a beat as they transition into spring and then into summer.
