The past two months were bookended first by tremendous sorrow for my family, then great joy.

My father’s sudden passing after just beginning to battle the cancer in his body is still a shock that reverberates in mine. I won’t know what to say or LAND MINDS do sometimes, but I find comfort in photos of him —

By Tom Royer with my granddaughter, taken just two weeks before he died, sharing a special moment… with my mom, all dressed up for a church directory picture, like good Lutheran farmers should… with my nephew who was killed in a car accident at age 25, but from a silly moment 20 years earlier, playing cards and teasing each other across a table…

My elder daughter’s incredibly beautiful outdoor, lakeside wedding was last weekend. A very long list of very generous people worked very hard to make it happen, and every last drop of sweat was worth the effort.

Her husband is honorable, hard-working, caring and good, as is his family. He claims to have seen me cry during the ceremony, though, so he does have flaws; his eyesight must be faulty. I didn’t really cry, did I? Perhaps most dads watch their daughters grow up over the course of two or three decades and dream of someday walking them down the aisle. As recently as 10 years ago, however, the idea of my wife and I even having children at all — let alone “giving one away” in marriage — seemed strange. But as we’ve since learned time and again, the journey of adopting from the foster care system has a way of turning your life upside down and every which way, often in the blink of an eye.

The journey sometimes leads to sadness and hardened hearts, but in this case it brought us to a breathtakingly joyous celebration that no one involved will forget.

It’s been difficult to process this extreme emotional rollercoaster, both of adoption in general and of recent weeks. I worry that several wonderful events in the life of my younger daughter — graduating from high school, starting her first real job, getting her driver’s license, preparing for college — have been overshadowed and overlooked this summer.

Likewise, in this same timeframe my wife has begun a new and ambitious second career path, and begun taking classes to attain a business degree, all while trying to form a budget to pay for all of these fiscally strenuous life events.

I mostly just stare at a computer all day, trying to form complete sentences.

Our pace of life had been convulsive and frenetic and overwhelming for weeks, but a friend’s simple words stopped the world and reminded me about the importance of hope. Our former adoption worker and her husband came to the wedding, and afterwards she shared this on Facebook: Today I did something I’ve never done before. I attended the wedding of a “child” I matched with a

OPINION

family eight years ago. She was 16 when she was placed. She didn’t know we were coming and didn’t see us during the ceremony. When she saw us come through the receiving line she burst into tears. I teased her, asking why, and she said, “Because you found me my parents!”

In a message to my wife and me, she added: I remember the day years ago at the park, sitting at the picnic table going over the notes and your hesitancy. But you took the risk and you have rocked this.

You should be incredibly proud of the way you have changed the world… to the thousandth generation.

We are all capable of so much more than we often give ourselves credit.

You don’t need to be adopted to understand the impact adoption has on a child. You don’t need to be a member of a minority group to recognize the challenges they face that you do not. You don’t need to be a great general to change the course of history.

What you need is a passion to be a positive influence in someone’s life, compassion for those around you in need, and as much love in your heart as you can possibly muster.

At the reception I held my daughter’s hand and waist and shared a quiet dance with her, and told her that I loved her. Then I found a chair alongside my mom and sister and brothers, and watched my two daughters and my new son-in-law and all of their friends energize the air as they danced and laughed into the warm summer night.

My granddaughter grew tired and my wife got her ready for bed.

Things are going to be all right.

The problems don’t stop in Ohio.

Iowa’s water war — you may recall that the Des Moines Water Works sued three, hog-heavy Iowa counties last spring for high nitrate levels it said contaminated the city’s drinking water — began to boil anew July 7 after the Des Moines Register published an op-ed by Dennis Keeney, the now-retired, first director of Iowa State University’s Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture.

In it, Keeney, a plainspoken native son as well as a distinguished agronomy professor at Iowa State and the University of Wisconsin, chides “Midwest agricultural leaders” and Iowa’s politicians for choosing “to ignore the warning signs” of the state’s worsening water quality problems for decades.

He then lists the names of those he says have chosen to “issue a stream of denials” instead of using

Proposal: Farm-level plan, backed by federal bucks GUEBERT, from pg. 3A two previous Democratic governors, Chet Culver and Tom Vilsack, now the U.S. secretary of agriculture.

“Where were these leaders when action would have helped create an environmentally sustainable agriculture?” asks Keeney. “(W)eak leadership,” he asserts, “crosses political lines” and “…responds not to the need of the residents of Iowa, but to the need to keep Iowa agriculture humming along on its pathway to industrial domination.”

So, Keeney writes, no one should be

surprised that the Des Moines Water Works lawsuit is “now directed to the agricultural industry…” In fact, “This is a long time coming.” What wasn’t a long time coming was a smoking hot reply from Secretary of Agriculture Vilsack. The Register posted his response on its website less than 24 hours after Keeney lit the fire under the water kettle.

Vilsack noted that he was “disappointed” by the op-ed because, first as governor, then as secretary, he had “made water quality a state priority.”

In fact, he had established Iowa’s first “comprehensive water monitoring program,” sponsored its first “Water Quality Summit,” and helped shepherd $2.2 billion in federal money to “Iowa alone” for conservation programs since taking over the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2009.

Right, and the result — like that of most local, state, and federal water quality programs aimed at farms and ranches for decades — has been that “Iowa’s water quality has continued to deteriorate,” four prominent Iowa ag leaders wrote in reply to Vilsack. “We cannot expect different results if we continue to do the same thing.” (All documents, including the reply, are posted at http://farmandfoodfile.com/.)

What these four leaders (Francis Thicke, a farmer and soil scientist; Fred Kirschenmann, former director and distinguished fellow of the ISU’s Leopold Center; Kamyar Enshayan, director of the University of Northern Iowa’s Center for Energy and Environmental Education; and Keeney) pro-

pose is a “middle ground:” farm-level water quality plans — much like today’s mandated, farm-level soil conservation plans — backed by federal dollars to initiate the use of local “practices that fit (Iowa’s) own farms.”

And, suggest the four, “A good place to pilot [or test] farm-level quality plans would be in the Iowa drainage districts being sued by the Des Moines Water Works for discharging nitrate into the Raccoon River.”

That’s a rock-solid idea that could get farmers and municipalities to work together to begin to address today’s big-and-getting-bigger water quality problems while preempting lengthy, costly and — like the just-confirmed American Farm Bureau-financed Chesapeake Bay appellate defeat — losing lawsuits.

Commentary: ‘Me First’ replacing common courtesy part of these aware, giving, selfless people as having two arms and legs.

It’s “what’s inside.”

After some thought, I have come to two disturbing conclusions. One, many are either unaware of the needs of others or two, they do not care. I am not sure which of these saddens me more.

The Me First attitude permeates our politics as well as our day-to-day lives.

But we can change. We can do unto others. We can walk a few yards in their shoes and yes, Mom, even courtesy could become more common.

This commentary was submitted by Kim Henrickson, Advertising Supervisor at The Land. ❖ Correction

The story “Women’s workshop teaches value of soil health” in The Land’s July 3 issue incorrectly stated current and historical topsoil depths. Topsoil in Minnesota and Iowa is estimated to have once been about two feet deep; Today, the average topsoil depth in Iowa is around four to six inches.

What if mom could use help with the Christmas cards and cookies?

What about showing an interest in the activities of a friend or co-worker?

What about going to a hospital, senior care center or even a funeral? What about helping someone who can’t pay you back? There’s the “want to do” list but there’s always another list — “the should do list.”

“I’d like to, but I’m busy.” Busy with what? “My stuff, my schedule, my kids, my job.” Me First.

This brings us to my term, “what’s inside.” Some might call it conscience, morals or intuition. But my term is “what’s inside.” My wife has it. My kids have it. And if you ask some they might say I have it.

The Lees McIntosh, Minn.

Joan Lee and her husband, Mark, returned from their Wyoming four-wheel adventure with great memories. The Land spoke with Lee on July 16 as she was getting unpacked; she was pleased that the crops are “looking good still.” The wheat is “starting to turn,” said Lee, although she expects they won’t be harvesting until after Aug. 1. Lee was able to get “the silo filled before we left (on the trip),” and hay chopping is complete

for this year. Lee plans on doing some small hay bales.

“We’ve been able to be on top of the field work more,” she said. With no dairy to maintain, there’s more time to do field work, which means she’s hoping for a third crop this year. Lee has normally been able to do two hay crops each year.

“We’re pleased and thankful for the way things are looking so far.”

The Haarstads Rothsay, Minn.

“Things were looking really good until three o’clock Sunday afternoon.” When The Land spoke with John Haarstad on July 17, he reported that a storm had come through causing 400 acres of wind and hail damage. The storm stripped leaves and flattened corn; one field was 75 percent flat. Up to four inches of rain fell.

“We’ve had some weird storms this year, but we’re thankful for the rain,” he said. The undamaged corn is “looking really good, just about to tassel,” he said, and “the soybeans are looking to be one of the best looking crops that I can remember.”

Spraying will happen in the next few weeks.

Haarstad got to spend some time at the county fair this week, as son Kaden showed rabbits and daughter Hailey showed a horse. “Overall the crops are looking good, we’re happy,” he said, “though it’s still a long ways until harvest.”

The Froemmings Garfield, Minn.

Strong storms hit much of central and northern Minnesota July 12, including the Froemming farm. While his fields were hit with “quite a bit of wind,” Rodney Froemming’s crops escaped the hail that fell across the area. That storm resulted in 2.2 inches of rain on the farm.

When The Land spoke with Froemming on July

19, he reported “We’ve been lucky; everything looks really good.” The corn is all tasseling and silking, and the soybeans are now setting pods.

The alfalfa has come around; Froemming planned on starting to cut that on July 20. He said the wheat “looks excellent” and estimates harvesting should begin in two to two and half weeks. Rye harvest will began this week. “We’re on schedule with the crops,” Froemming said.

The Filzens Renville, Minn.

A little rain would be welcomed on Dale Filzen’s fields — “an inch or two of rain would be perfect.” When he spoke with The Land July 16 Filzen reported that “the corn looks good.” He estimated that around 25 percent of his corn was tasseling. The sugar beets “got the second fungicide application on yesterday,” he said, and “they look pretty good.” Filzen is starting to see some aphids in the soybean fields; he plans on

spraying for them next week.

Despite the insect appearance, he said the beans have “gotten some good growth these last few weeks.” There’s one crop that’s thriving during this drier stretch on the Filzen farm: navy beans. They are “starting to pod on the top.” He’s beginning to look ahead to harvest and will be getting that equipment ready to go in the next two weeks.

The Thorpes Canby, Minn.

When The Land spoke with Nathan Thorpe on July 24 he was happy to report “things are pretty good out here; the crop is progressing super nice.” The corn is “well into pollination ... the soybeans are excellent,” he said, and the plants are “shading in the rows.” Unfortunately, water hemp is also flourishing. Thorpe said it’s the worst he has ever seen — “I think Roundup has run its course.” Meanwhile, timely rains have

fallen and for Thorpe, he’s not used to that happening this part of the summer. “It’s usually quite dry this time of year,” he said. Not this year, however, and the crops seem to be thriving with the

The Pagels Winthrop, Minn.

“A guy can’t complain.”

Delayne Pagel sure isn’t going to, anyway, when talking about how his crops are doing. The Land spoke with Pagel on July 23 and he was pleased with the weather conditions and the effect it was having. “The weather has been perfect,” he said.

“The corn looks really good. It’s pretty much all

tasseling (and) the soybeans are coming around.”

The third round of Liberty that Pagel sprayed did a good job of stopping water hemp, and he plans on spraying the beans for aphids in about a week.

Meanwhile the kidney beans are also looking good; Pagel will be spraying them for white mold.

Wheat harvest will begin next week — “The heads look pretty good,” he said. With wheat harvest about to begin, the crops looking good and the weather cooperating, apparently a guy really can’t complain.

The Marbles Mapleton, Minn.

“Absolutely perfect,” said Harlan Marble on July 23, summing up the condition of his crops. Marble told The Land he was thrilled with how his corn is doing — six and a half to seven feet tall with ears chest-high. The crop is all pollinated with some of the silks turning brown.

Meanwhile the soybeans are “blossoming and

setting pods.” Marble sprayed his beans July 20 “for white mold, aphids and everything else.” The beans are growing as well as the corn: “Some were above my waist,” he said. “For us (in this area) it couldn’t be any better.”

The Kemps Sibley, Iowa Brian Kemp reported to The Land on July 23 that while “the crops are looking good,” he would welcome some rain. The corn is at tasseling stage, he said, and “When it gets very hot and humid days it shows signs of stress.” The soybeans so far have encountered “very little aphid activity.” The current issue with the beans is escaped water hemp, Kemp said. “It continues to be more of a problem.” He has done some spot

spraying, but “If aphids become a problem I’ll switch my focus to that.” A few hot, sticky days have come and gone this summer on the Kemp farm — “miserable” he called them — “but for the most part it’s been tolerable.” As for the how the crops will fair, he said the “final outcome is going to depend on rainfall between now and harvest.”

The Heusinkvelds Wykoff, Minn.

Hay is the name of the game right now for Nate Heusinkveld. The Land spoke with Heusinkveld on July 26 as he was getting ready to start the third hay cutting. The weather has included many half-inch rains — “Perfect for growing, not so much for haying.” The corn is “about 100 percent tasseled; it looks really good now.”

Heusinkveld will continue to work on the addition to his calf barn these next few weeks along with

finishing that third cut of hay. The crops are “probably ahead of schedule,” he said.

In the meantime Pulk is trying to finish up Conservation Reserve Program hay but unfortunately it’s been too wet. In the next few weeks he hopes to wrap up the hay and start preparations for harvest. “For the most part the crops that are growing are average to above average,” said Pulk.

‘Roosevelt’s Fair’ was one for the history books Vice President’s visit to the Minnesota State Fair came mere days prior to his assuming the nation’s top office following McKinley assassination

By TIM KING The Land Correspondent The 1901 Minnesota State Fair was known as Roosevelt’s fair, according to the authors of “History of the Minnesota State Agricultural Society; From Its Organization in 1854 to the Annual Meeting of 1910.” It was also the most successful fair in the Agricultural Society’s history. Tickets sales were $87,153.05, up nearly $20,000 from the record set the year before, and 70,000 people attended the dayand night-time grandstand shows.

“Vice President ‘Teddy’ Roosevelt has accepted the invitation to visit the fair next September,” an undated

newspaper clipping from the Agricultural Society’s files reports. “It is probable that he will be heard by as many thousand people as can get within the sound of his voice.”

The year 1901 was still part of an era when great oratory moved people and Roosevelt was a bigger-than-life American hero. He was a cowboy, the former governor of New York, and the Commander of Roosevelt’s RoughRiders during the Spanish-American War. His popularity was, in part, responsible for bringing William McKinley to the White House.

As popular as Teddy Roosevelt was, the notice of his acceptance to open the 1901 Fair with a stirring speech was at the bottom of the brief newspaper article.

The lead?

more than successful. A contract has been made with the Pains for the presentation of their new and remodeled ‘Last Day of Pompeii.’”

Roosevelt was the sort of man who didn’t mind competing with a fireworks

exhibition put on by the internationallyknown Pain’s Fireworks. In fact most everyone has heard of Pompeii, the ancient Roman City buried by the volcanic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, and most Americans are familiar with Roosevelt’s “Speak Softly But Carry A Big Stick” policy but mostly nobody remembers that September 1901 fireworks exhibition.

Roosevelt Day The Agricultural Society Board of Directors declared that Monday, Sept.

power. So it is with the nation.”

A few minutes earlier the-presidentto-be dropped another word bomb that continues to resonate in this era of toobig-to-fail banks and corporations with the rights of persons.

“Yet more and more it is evident that the State, and if necessary the nation, has got to possess the right of supervision and control as regards the great corporations which are its creatures; particularly as regards the great business combinations which derive a portion of their importance from the existence of some monopolistic tendency.”

After the speech, and no doubt before the reception, Roosevelt, sitting ramrod straight and wearing a top hat and tails, was photographed in profile mounted on a magnificent horse.

It was no doubt a rousing but forgettable speech by another Vice President of the United States.

The Fair went on. There were pacing, trotting, running, and hippodrome races along with balloon ascensions and vaudeville in the grandstand. In

the Horticultural Building there were 2,364 plates of apples, 515 plates of plums, 454 plates of grapes, and quite a number of plates of peaches and pears. Prize-winning Shorthorn beef cattle brought on average $269 and Herefords brought an average of $203 at the sale at Fair’s end. And then, on Saturday, Sept. 7 it was over.

History books But, on Friday, Sept. 6, President McKinley was shot in Buffalo, N.Y. He was not mortally wounded but on Sept. 14, he died from a gangrenous infection.

Vice President Theodore Roosevelt became President of the United States and his policy of talking softly and carrying a big stick became national policy. He also became the nation’s trustbuster and took on the monopolies of Minnesota’s James J. Hill and New York’s Jay Rockefeller.

Thanks to an assassin’s bullet and poor medical care, the 1901 Minnesota State Fair made national and world history. ❖

“The crowd at the fair grounds when Roosevelt opened the big show was immense. He spoke for half an hour and was enthusiastically received.”

Speech, speech Throughout Roosevelt’s address he compares personal character and morality with national character and morality. About halfway through he compares the character of a soft-spoken man with that of a soft-spoken nation. He makes the comparison while building the case for America to play a role in international affairs.

“Right here let me make as vigorous a plea as I know how in favor of saying nothing that we do not mean, and of acting without hesitation up to whatever we say. A good many of you are probably acquainted with the old proverb: ‘Speak softly and carry a big stick — you will go far.’

“If a man continually blusters, if he lacks civility, a big stick will not save him from trouble; and neither will speaking softly avail, if back of the softness there does not lie strength,

The running water, which would come from connecting with the City of St. Paul, was deemed necessary more for fire protection than flush toilets. In 1900, a large fire on the grounds was nearly impossible to suppress because of an inadequate water supply.

Roosevelt is reported to have arrived in Minneapolis at 9 a.m. that Monday.

He drove from there to the fairgrounds by automobile — something of a novelty in 1901.

“All streets adjoining the Washington Avenue and 6th Street loop were black with people, eager to see the only Teddy,” a newspaper clipping reports. “...two trips were made about the loop, the car advancing slowly closely hemmed in by the crowd. Roosevelt stood upon the rear platform and by bows and signs acknowledged the ovation.

Minnesota couple herds 4-H youth at State Fair

By TIM KING The Land Correspondent LONG PRAIRIE, Minn. — Delvin and Debra Durheim have met a lot of 4-H youngsters and their parents during the 17 years they’ve been 4-H herdsmanship coordinators at the Minnesota State Fair.

“We keep going back because we enjoy seeing the kids,” they both agreed. “It’s a lot of fun to watch the kids and their families grow because of their experience with their 4-H projects.”

Delvin and Debra raise purebred Dorset sheep, club lambs and Simmental cattle on their farm in Round Prairie Township in Todd County. They’ve been active leaders in 4-H since their now grown children were in the organization and are 4-H alumni. Debra is also the secretary for the Todd County Agricultural Society and Fair and Delvin is the president.

The Durheims actually became 4-H herdsmanship coordinators when they were contacted by their son Daniel.

“He was 4-H livestock coordinator at the State Fair,” Debra said. “He contacted us and asked us if we would consider doing it.”

“They were having a hard time finding somebody

in working order.”

Delvin works with the State Fair and employees, and Debra goes to work on the computer assigning counties to divisions, depending upon the number of exhibitors and animals for each species.

“There are seven different species and from 2,500 to 3,000 exhibitors from around the state,” Delvin said. “We don’t get the final numbers for the county fairs that end right before the State Fair until Tuesday. The kids come on Wednesday. It’s a lot of work.”

The 4-H kids are at the fair from Wednesday until Sunday. The species they bring with them to show are beef and dairy cattle, goats, sheep, poultry, swine and rabbits. The 4-H’ers are there to do the very best they can in the shows. But they are also there to present their animals and their stalls for the animals in the very best possible light possible. That’s where herdsmanship comes in.

“I tell the kids that they are ambassadors for agriculture,” said Delvin, “and that everyone who comes through that barn is a potential customer.”

The 4-H youngsters take that responsibility seriously because as farm kids, they want to promote agriculture.

Herdsmanship The fact that the 4-H’ers can receive ribbons in herdsmanship if they keep the stalls and animals in beautiful condition provides extra motivation.

“They are judged in the barn two times a day, Thursday through Saturday, and once on Sunday,” Debra said. “We find the judges to do that.”

Judges score stalls and animals on a point system from one to 100. Livestock, poultry and rabbits each have a different basis for obtaining points. All 4-H’ers are judged on courtesy. Appearance and cleanliness of See DURHEIMS, pg. 11A

“We sponsor a traveling award that is for the county with the overall highest score,” Delvin said.

“They have to have at least four of the seven species,” Debra said. “We present the plaque at an awards ceremony each year.”

Debra and Delvin have watched the young 4-H exhibitors grow, graduate from high school and 4-H, get married and have families, and, on occasion come back to the fair as 4-H chaperones.

“Not long ago a young man we knew came to us at the fair and introduced us to his fiancée,” Debra said. “The next year they were married. For us it’s like being part of a big family. It’s very rewarding.”

The 2015 Minnesota State Fair is Aug. 27-Sept. 7. ❖

the first time. Some of the youngsters are just out of sixth grade and a watchful adult eye and some extra care can mean the difference between a happy or unhappy memory.

“Most of the kids are great,” said Delvin, “but like with any group of children you have to keep your eye out for mischievous activities.”

The State Fair is a whirlwind of activity for the youngsters. There are shows, care for their animals and stalls, visits with member of the public passing their stalls, presentations for consumer education, and social interaction with their 4-H peers.

It’s a lot for a young person to handle and the Durheims understand this.

When the youngsters do well they are like proud aunts and uncles. They, like the 4-H’ers, have lots of State Fair memories.

“A few years ago there was a boy

who wanted to be in the dairy competition,” Delvin said. “His family didn’t own a dairy herd so he went to the sales barn and bought a calf. He worked with that animal and cared for it and ended up winning the Grand Champion Dairy Steer ribbon at the State Fair. That was really fantastic.

The hard work and dedication of a lot of these 4-H kids is amazing.”

On Sunday, at the end of their stay, Debra goes through all the scores for the twice-daily herdsmanship judging and adds them up. With the totals in for each species, herdsmanship ribbons can be awarded to individual exhibitors and counties. Delvin and Debra think the herdsmanship ribbons are extremely important, but team effort is also important.

DURHEIMS, from pg. 10A pens and stalls in livestock and poultry is rated highly. Dry and adequate shavings for rabbits are also scored heavily. Proper placement of stall cards is important.

There are numerous other factors on which the young exhibitors can get points toward a ribbon. The kids take all aspects of herdsmanship seriously and sometimes even arrange bedding by lining the straws up and then taking care not to step on the bedding, according to the Durheims.

Delvin, who also judges livestock, likes to give the 4-H’ers tips on how to make their exhibit look sharp.

“For example, if they have cattle I show them how to arrange them from the biggest to the smallest so they look pleasing to the eye,” he said. “I try to be a mentor to them.”

Fair memories But the State Fair should not be all work and no play, according to Debra and Delvin.

“The State Fair is a place for youngsters to meet new friends and create life-long memories,” Debra said. “We want to make an environment in the barn where they have time to do that as well as to care for their exhibits.”

The Durheims also watch out for the young people, especially the youngest and those who are at the State Fair for

Grain Outlook Corn prices back down

Livestock Angles Beef sinks to yearly lows

Grain Angles Transitioning the farm

The following market analysis is for the week ending July 24.

CORN — Corn was a significant loser this week with beneficial pollination weather covering the Midwest.

Instead of chatter about how the crop’s yield potential was declining toward 160 bushels per acre, talk began to circulate of an average yield in the 163164 bushels per acre area. The July USDA yield was 166.8 bu./acre, but traders’ expectations for quite some time have been that the yield number will PHYLLIS NYSTROM be cut on future reports.

CHS Hedging Inc. Corn conditions as of July 19 St. Paul were unchanged at 69 percent good/excellent, but two percent moved from the good to the excellent column from the previous report. The market was looking for a small improvement. Illinois corn had the second lowest rating for a mid-July rating in the last 10 years at 55 percent good/excellent, Indiana at 45 percent had its second worst in 13 years and Ohio at 46 percent the second worst in 18 years. Corn silking was on track at 55 percent compared to 56 percent on average.

Moving on from the fundamental side of a stabilizing, improving crop to the technical side, corn gapped lower from the previous Friday’s close to begin the week on a weak note. Fund selling and strength in the U.S. dollar added to the negative momentum, sending prices closer to pre-Fourth of July levels. Basis levels began to show improvement

July was not without its fireworks this year. Not only the physical fireworks on Independence Day, but in the livestock markets during the entire month.

This was especially true in the cattle complex as prices plummeted to yearly lows, while the hog market has actually improved slightly during the month.

After months of tight supplies of cattle a weakening demand has finally neutralized these tight numbers. The beef cutout has collapsed over the past several weeks with the boxed movement substantially slowing indicating the weakening demand for beef.

No doubt that the current supply of cattle will continue to remain JOE TEALE tight, but the demand is now takBroker ing the lead as the dominate fun- Great Plains Commodity damental in the marketplace.

Afton, Minn.

Several factors have helped determine this weakening in the demand side of the supply/demand equation. The strength in the U.S. dollar has reduced the export demand, as well as the competitive meats falling in price making them more attractive to the consumer. Also several reports were released by the USDA on July 24 — Monthly Cattle on Feed report and the Semi-annual Cattle Inventory report.

The results of the Cattle on Feed report were as follows: On feed July 1, 102 percent; Placed in June, 101 percent; and marketed in June, 95 percent. This report was interpreted as slightly negative due to the higher than expected placements.

The results of the Cattle Inventory report were as follows: All cattle and Calves 101.7 percent, Annual

This column is part of a series of articles on succession and transition planning. This column speaks to the transitioning of assets from one generation to the next.

Transitioning Transitioning ownership in assets can occur at any stage. It requires a clear thoughtful process that considers the economics, tax impacts, legal aspects, management plan, disaster plan and an exit plan.

No two transition plans look alike; therefore it is important to understand that another family’s transition plan may not work in CATHY OLSON your situation. Timing is an AgStar Senior Business Consultant important consideration, espeGlencoe, Minn. cially during the next few years where compressed profit margins are likely in the grain industry.

Economics During the transition process, it’s important to consider the level of equity the senior generation must retain in order to fund their desired lifestyle. Assets such as land are often viewed as a revenue stream via rent or a contract sale for years to come. Assets such as inventory, equipment and buildings typically involve more complex tax issues. Additionally as they approach their exit from the business, the senior generation may also need to work through retiring their remaining debts.

Deferred taxes The grain industry had a string of profitable years resulting in deferred income taxes for many producers, from prepaying input costs, accelerated deprecia-

Keep in mind that each planning alternative impacts cash flow, income taxes, equity position and debt management in a different manner, so a detailed analysis is the only way to be sure that the optimal alternative is being selected.

Plan options Some plans set up a successor as a sole proprietor by allowing them to rent acres on their own. Profits can be used for capital purchases. Over time the successor can increase their actively farmed acres and begin building their equipment line, allowing the senior generation to gradually reduce their investment in equipment.

Other groups will set up an entity such as a partnership, limited liability company or corporation. There are variations on these entity structures and this is not a “one size fits all” approach. Creating an entity results

Hog market, prices hold steady these market changes and protect inventories as needed.

The hog market has fared much better than the cattle market through the month of July. Prices have virtually remained steady as numbers have decreased ever so slightly during the month. This coupled with fairly stable demand for pork has helped keep pork cutouts nearly the same during the period.

Export demand has been slowed because of the strength in the U.S. dollar, however, domestic demand has held well to create the stability in the pork cutouts. As we move into the fall it appears that the hog market is acting very sluggish. Cold storage figures indicate that there is plenty of pork as well as all the competitive meats. This could weaken hog prices during the latter part of the summer months and into the fall. This is definitely reflected in the futures market where deferred contracts are at a distinct discount to the current futures month.

Therefore producers should approach the market with protection in mind and use strength to protect inventories when the opportunity presents itself. â?&#x2013; Come to the 49th Annual Butterfield Threshermenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Cheese stocks way up in Cold Storage report MIELKE, from pg. 16A Meanwhile, dairy cow culling picked up in June, according to USDA’s latest Livestock Slaughter report issued Thursday. The data shows an estimated 221,500 dairy cows were slaughtered under Federal inspection in the month, up 7,500 head from May and 22,000 head, or 11 percent more than June 2014.

Looking at the first six months of 2015, 1.46 million dairy cows took retirement from the dairy business, up 65,400 head from the same period a year ago or a 4.7 percent increase.

■ The added milk supply surely headed to the cheese vat, adding to growing inventories. American type cheese stocks in June totaled 684.9 million pounds, according to USDA’s

latest Cold Storage report issued Wednesday, up 15.4 million pounds or two percent from May and 29.6 million or five percent above June 2014. The total cheese inventory hit 1.14 billion pounds, 29.2 million pounds or three percent above May and 85.7 billion pounds or eight percent above a year ago.

Butter stocks dipped to 254.7 million pounds, down 10.1 million pounds or 4 percent from May but were 55.4 million pounds or 28 percent above a year ago.

HighGround Dairy’s Eric Meyer points out that all three cheese categories saw monthly stock builds that were greater than the five year average, “suggestive that bullish conditions present in the market a few months prior have dissipated.”

He adds that butter stocks declined in June from May but at historically average levels from past years.

The year-over-year percentage growth continues to increase with three straight months over 20 percent so he sees the data as bearish toward cheese and neutral toward butter.

■ Cash traders had to digest the June Milk Production, Cold Storage, and Slaughter reports this week. Cheese prices saw some ups and downs but the block Cheddar closed Friday at $1.6975 per pound, up 8.5 cents on the week after dropping 11.25 cents the previous week. Domestic demand appears to remain strong, but they are 27.25 cents below a year ago. The barrels finished at $1.66, up 6.5 cents on the week and 29.25 cents below a year ago. Seven cars of block traded hands on the week and 21 of barrel. The lagging National Dairy Products Sales Report-surveyed, U.S. average block price fell to $1.6761, down 2.2 cents, while the barrels averaged $1.6559, down 1.6 cents.

Cash butter slipped to $1.8325 on Monday, lowest price since May 4, but rallied and closed July 24 at $1.9550 per pound, up 11.5 cents on the week and reversed two weeks of decline, but is 63.5 below a year ago when the spot butter jumped 11 cents to $2.59 per pound. At the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, 12 cars traded hands this week. NDPSR butter averaged $1.9301, down 0.6 cent.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry keeps setting records in the wrong direction, dipping to 70.5 cents per pound July 23 but inched back to 71.25 cents July 24 on two unfilled bids, down 4.25 cents on the week and 96.25 cents below a year ago.

At the CME, 23 carloads exchanged hands this week. NDPSR powder averaged 84.72 cents per pound, down 1.5 cents, and dry whey averaged 38.94 cents per pound, down 1.6 cents. California’s latest surveyed powder price averaged 85.99 cents per pound, down 3.1 cents.

■ USDA’s latest Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry Outlook reported rising prices for alfalfa, hay and soybean meal but declining prices for corn. The alfalfa hay price increased from $184 in April to $192 in May. Corn prices declined from $3.75 per bushel in April to $3.62 in May. The soybean meal price rose from $320 per ton in May to $335 in June. The milk-feed ratio for May was

MARKETING

1.96, about the same as 1.95 in April, but substantially lower than the peak of 2.97 in September.

Corn price forecasts were raised from last month to $3.60-$3.80 per bushel for 2014-15 and $3.45-$4.05 per bushel for 2015-16. The soybean meal forecast for 2015-16 was raised to $315-$355 per short ton.

■ Cooperatives Working Together accepted four export assistance requests this week from Dairy Farmers of America, and Northwest Dairy Association (Darigold) to sell 1.12 million pounds of Cheddar cheese, and 44,092 pounds of whole milk powder to customers in Asia, and South America.

The product will be delivered through December and raises CWT’s 2015 cheese exports to 41.9 million pounds plus 30.4 million pounds of butter and 30.1 million pounds of whole milk powder to 31 countries on five continents.

Speaking of CWT, the Capital Press reports that two retail companies are accusing the farmer funded CWT program of “manipulating milk prices, opening a new front in litigation over a herd retirement program.

“Piggly Wiggly Midwest, a grocery chain, and Kinney Drugs, a pharmacy chain, have filed an antitrust complaint against the National Milk Producers Federation and associated dairy cooperatives.

“The lawsuit claims NMPF’s CWT program repeatedly paid farmers to send herds to slaughter between 2003 and 2010, thereby reducing milk output and inflating prices for dairy products. The plaintiffs characterize CWT as ‘an unlawfully anti-competitive conspiracy,’ and have requested class action status that would allow other direct dairy purchasers to join in the lawsuit to seek compensation.”

NMPF’s Chris Galen said they could not yet comment on the complaint. Read more at: http://www.capitalpress.com/ Dairy/20150720/retailers-expand-dairyantitrust-litigation ■ The California Department of Food and Agriculture announced Friday that it will amend the state’s Class 4b cheese milk pricing formula, as a result of testimony given at a June 3 milk pricing hearing. The formula goes into effect Aug. 1 through July 31, 2016. The current dry whey scale will be modified to increase the dry whey factor.

sents a continued discount, it is a far cry from the $1.84 per cwt. average monthly California Discount we’ve seen since 2010,” and he promoted the effort to establish a Federal order in California.

Forty-five percent of California’s milk goes into cheese, according to Vandenheuvel in Friday’s DairyLine, and the California 4b price has lagged the Federal order Class III price by $2$2.50/cwt. the last five years. That amounts to about $1.8 billion lost by dairy producers, he said, a significant amount of money that California cheese makers have not had to pay for milk. This ruling will reduce the average shortfall to about 50 cents/cwt., he said, adding that he hopes USDA will soon announce a Federal order hearing but doesn’t see one being implemented in the state until 2017.

USDA announced the August Federal order Class I base milk price is $16.28 /hundredweight, down 25 cents from July, $7.59 below August 2014, and the lowest August Class I since 2010. The price equates to about $1.40 per gallon, down from $1.42 last month and $2.05 a year ago. The eight-month average stands at $16.33, down from $23.13 a year ago and $18.39 in 2013.

■ The National Milk Producers Federation praised the House of Representatives Thursday for passing legislation establishing a voluntary, national standard for labeling foods with genetically modified ingredients.

NMPF said the House bill, known as the Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act, “protects consumer choice while it creates a uniform, science-based labeling standard for foods made with GM ingredients.” The Federation pledged to work with the Senate to pass a similar bill to “ensure that the final legislation meets the needs of America’s dairy farmers,” according to an NMPF press release.

“Today’s bipartisan vote demonstrates the broad support for voluntarily labeling foods with GM ingredients,” said NMPF President and CEO Jim Mulhern. “A patchwork of state-bystate labeling requirements is simply not an option, as testimony at several congressional hearings clearly showed.”

MIELKE, from pg. 18A The Department stated that had these changes been in effect from April 2010 to March 2015, the effect would have resulted in a five-year monthly average increase of $1.01 per hundredweight in the Class 4b price and 46 cents/cwt. in Quota and Overbase prices.

Western United Dairymen said it was encouraged by the Secretary's actions and “are appreciative of the intensive effort by the CDFA to listen and respond to the industry and act accordingly,” said WUD President Frank Mendonsa. "While we had hoped for more, we will continue to work closely with the Department to be more consistent with the Federal order."

“I believe this adjustment will provide a needed increase in revenue to producers to ensure a stable milk supply. I have taken this action even though I believe there are long term structural challenges within the dairy industry that the Department cannot address through changes in the class pricing formulas,” Secretary Ross said in her announcement.

The Milk Producers Council’s Rob Vandenheuvel wrote in his newsletter that CDFA “took a significant bite into, what he has referred to as “the California Discount (difference between California 4b milk price and the Federal order Class III price), albeit on a temporary basis.” He said Ross’s action brings the two “in much closer alignment” but doesn’t equalize them.

“Regardless of what our cheese making colleagues might think or say about this Class 4b price increase, they will still be benefiting from a lower regulated price than exists anywhere else in the country,” Vandenheuvel wrote, but he warned, “The changes in the Class 4b formula are related to how the market price for dry whey is incorporated into the milk price calculation.

“So looking forward, if the CME futures markets are any indication, the dry whey markets are expected to be at or below their current levels for the foreseeable future. Plugging in those dry whey prices into this new Class 4b calculation indicates that our Class 4b price on average over the next year should be roughly 50 cents per cwt. below the Federal Order Class III price.”

He adds that “The gap between these prices will likely vary from month to month due to other differences between the two formulas, so this is a long-term average estimate. While this repre-

to ensure that it can buy competitively and pass that savings on to their customers,” Peton said.

Peton has only been at UFC for oneand-a-half years, but he has 33 years experience in ag business including an extended time with Northrup King Seeds in South Dakota.

For many grain elevators, the ethanol industry is a major competitor.

That’s not an issue with UFC which sits virtually adjacent to Heartland Corn Products, a 100-million-gallon ethanol plant. UFC is the primary supplier of corn used by that facility.

Thanks to the internet, Peton agrees that farmers can be choosey about whom they decide to do business with, but UFC is facing the challenge by staying ahead of the curve.

“Standard services are just part of the farm co-op business — custom spraying, fertilizer spreading, tire repair services, and of course the big business of grain storage, providing feed, seeds, fuels and lubrication services,” said Peton. “Today we’re even building storage facilities for our farm-

ers on their own farms. We need to anticipate and recognize what these trending needs are going to be so we can provide that service as the demand develops.”

Even in this trend toward fewer but larger farm operations, it’s vital for UFC to recognize many mid to smallsize farm operations still exist.

“These are the farmers that built the company. So service to this core family of farmers is still our heartland,” said Peton.

Rail shipping Despite more on-farm grain storage, the grain volume that UFC handles has not declined.

“New harvest grain coming to our locations in the fall is down somewhat.

But eventually that grain does come to market so total volume hasn’t declined,” he said. “In fact because we are now equipped to load out unit trains (110 cars) at some of our locations, we’re handling more grain even during harvest because our farm cusSee CO-OP, pg. 21A

bushel-per-acre average corn yields but speculated that yield monitors would be popping 200 bushels per acre in certain fields; certain spots within those fields.

“Retail sales last year were over $350 million. That will be even more this year. Last year we were impacted because of the lack of grain,” said Peton.

When it comes to conventional corn grown in the UFC territory, Peton said early in the planting season, there was lots of talk about planting more conventional corn.

“As the planting season came on, most growers realized capturing more revenue with GMO corn because of better yields and reduced pesticides expenses seemed wiser,” Peton said.

“The limited amount of conventional corn seed likely also reduced the total amount of non-GMO acres.”

As for organic grains, UFC has not yet committed storage structures strictly for them. Maintaining the identity of organic grain through the handling and marketing process poses a logistical challenge.

“We have some organic production in our area. We’re talking about it and if the trend continues we likely would have to segment one location solely for the handling of organics,” Peton said.

Peton was born and raised on a beef, dairy and swine farm in northwest Iowa, where he enjoyed the benefits of picking rocks and baling hay. He graduated from Buena Vista University, Storm Lake, Iowa, with a degree in accounting/finance and banking.

CO-OP, from pg. 20A tomers know their trucks won’t be waiting in line to dump.”

Due to UFC’s hookup with various railroads, the co-op can move grain to any market in the United States.

“At our Brownton facility we have access to the CP railroad, the UP railroad, and the BNSF railroad. Or we can just move grain next door to our ethanol neighbor,” he said. “We also have a large livestock industry in our 12-county area which moves out quite a bit of corn on a daily basis.”

That Brownton facility features a complete rail track circle which can accommodate a 110-car unit train. A unit train is a block of cars that all carry the same commodity from the same origin to the same destination.

“We’re talking about 330,000 bushels. That’s tremendous volume when the market is ready,” noted Peton.

Semi rigs are still major carriers of grain within the United States but rail shipment keeps growing. For UFC that means rail deliveries to the Gulf Coast ports in Louisiana and Texas, or to the livestock industry in the Southwest.

“Corn and soybean production looks good to very good for this year. More bushels drives more revenue through our locations,” said Peton.

legislation promoted the growth of the grape growing industry, too,” Geary said.

“We wanted this to be an expansion of the Minnesota vineyard business. And it really shows. In 1996-97 there were only about 250 acres of grapes in the entire state. Currently we have somewhere between 1,300 and 1,500 acres.”

Thanks to the remarkable research program of the University of Minnesota, he estimates that nearly 100 percent of those acres are planted to winter hardy varieties.

“Nobody takes their vines off the trellis and buries them anymore,” Geary said. “Our new varieties produce just as much, or more wine and obviously are much less labor.”

Startups in the grape growing business range from the fairly typical one acre, about 550 vines, to more ambitious growers doing up to 10 acres right out of the chute.

“To people trying grapes for the first time I recommend don’t do more than a half acre,” Geary said.

“Start with 200 vines. See if you really like it. See if your soils grow the vines. There’s a huge time and labor commitment in this business.”

However, going big can pay off in the long run.

Geary cited one grape grower that started big.

“Two years ago he planted 35,000 vines into his 40acre vineyard,” he said. “That to me is the future of the Minnesota grape and wine industry. This size vineyard will be completely mechanized, both the harvest and the pruning. It can be a profitable oper-

ation in six years.”

Grapes wanted At this point in the Minnesota wine industry, Geary said that the expansion of new and existing wineries is outpacing vineyards.

“Depending upon the size of the winery, it takes 15 to 20 acres of grapes for small to medium wineries to meet that 51 percent Minnesota grown grapes requirement,” Geary said.

“We are now seeing Minnesota wineries pushing that 75,000-gallon rule which is part of our farm winery law. If we have more wineries getting into that 50,000 to 60,000 gallon capacity, we need many more acres of grapes. We’re going to be on the short side of grapes rather than short of wine.”

According to Geary, less than onepercent of all wines sold in Minnesota are from Minnesota-grown grapes.

“So we have a tremendous amount of growth opportunities. We would like to see us at five percent Minnesota grown grapes in that total Minnesota wine industry,” he said. “That seems like a small number but that equates to a 500 percent growth in our industry. You better believe we have an encouraging future.”

Upwards of 30 percent of Minnesota wineries process and market 100 percent of their product from Minnesota grown grapes. Geary hedges just a bit since his grapes come from both Minnesota and nearby Wisconsin soils.

“But we are 100 percent locally grown,” Geary said.

California, Michigan, even grape juices from New York provide the additional juices for those wineries not doing 100 percent Minnesota grown.

THE LAND, JULY 31, 2015

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer WACONIA, Minn. — Irv Geary, president of Minnesota Grape Growers Association, is nothing but positive about the future of the grape industry in Minnesota.

At his North Branch vineyard and winery, he currently “farms” 3,000 Irv Geary vines. His first vines went into the ground in 2000; in 2003 he added a bunch more.

Growing grapes is labor intensive, especially when you get up to 3,000 vines.

“I’ve worn out all my friends and family,” said Geary. “So now I hire help, particularly two good high school kids. And that’s the key — hire good farm kids because they are willing to work out there.”

His vineyard’s topography and soils are a rolling clay loam topsoil mix underlaid with glacial till.

“That’s a gravely, rocky subsoil which vines thrive on. My advice to newcomers is plant your vineyard with topography and stay out of frost pockets,” he said.

Geary offered his take on the 2015 season on July 12 at Sovereign Estate Winery in Waconia. He noted the accelerated growth of vines.

“Growth is almost too good because it can lead to fruit shading,” he said. “Right now we have good fruit set and good cluster development but also lots of vine growth so we have to do an extra amount of canopy management to open them up.”

Wine industry The Minnesota vineyard and winery industry is young and growing. According to Geary, Minnesota currently has 60 open tasting room wineries and 65 operating wineries. Iowa now is at about 105 wineries; Wisconsin has about 95 wineries.

“In Minnesota our legal definition requires that at least 51 percent of the wine has to come from Minnesota-grown grapes. The Minnesota Grape Growers Association is the group that pushed for this farm winery bill. In doing so, we made certain that the

Grape prices ‘pretty good’ Iowa crop conditions GEARY, from pg. 23A Grapes are sold to wineries on the basis of so much per pound of grape.

Currently, that is in the 65 cents to $1 category, depending upon the variety and quality. Grape shortages the past couple of years and a growing demand, have generated the stronger rates.

“In a normal year you can figure about 75 cents a pound for quality grapes delivered to the winery. That’s $1,500 a ton compared to New York growers who are getting more like $800 to $1,000 a ton. The Minnesota price is pretty good these days,” said Geary. “If you can sell at a local farmers market $2 a pound is a common price these days.”

Making wine Geary likes to continually evaluate grape varieties so he has 22 different varieties currently. But his main varieties are Frontenac, Frontenac Gris, St. Croix, Petite Pearl, and Marquette for the red wines; LaCrescent and Prairie Star for his white wines. He grows 5,000 to 6,000 pounds of each variety which is enough for testing and evaluating new wines within his winery operation also.

Geary is part of Wild Mountain Win-

ery, a conglomeration of four local growers who combined now grow about 15 acres of their own grapes. A few additional local growers provide the rest of their grapes. Geary hesitates to talk in terms of average yield per acre since that depends upon the variety and canopy style of each vineyard.

“We try to average around 15 pounds of fruit per vine. With a 600-vine vineyard you’re looking at 7,500 pounds from that acre,” he said. “But understand that yields are very site and variety specific. Frontenac can do up to 20 pounds per vine; Marquette might only do 12 pounds.”

Geary is pleased by community events that feature wine sipping. At a recent such event, the most common comment from tasters was, “I didn’t know you could make this kind of wine in Minnesota. This is outstanding.”

“We feel the greater metropolitan population in the Twin Cites hasn’t even been tapped. When that market starts to drink Minnesota wine, we’ll see a tremendous surge of wine production and grape acres in Minnesota,” Geary said. ❖

A dry start with rain near the end of the week allowed Iowa farmers 5.0 days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending July 26, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Agricultural Statistics Service.

Activities for the week included cutting hay, aerial fungicide application to corn, and herbicide and insecticide application to soybeans. There were reports of crop stress due to the hot, dry weather, as well as weed problems in soybeans.

Topsoil moisture levels rated zero percent very short, six percent short, 78 percent adequate and 16 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated zero percent very short, five percent short, 79 percent adequate and 16 percent surplus. Northwest Iowa was the driest area of the State with one-quarter rated very short to short on topsoil moisture.

Eighty-three percent of the corn crop had reached the silking stage or beyond, with 11 percent reaching the dough stage. Corn condition rated 83 percent good to excellent.

Soybeans blooming or beyond reached 78 percent. Thirty-seven per-

cent of soybeans were setting pods, slightly ahead of average. Soybean condition rated 76 percent good to excellent this week.

The first cutting of alfalfa hay neared completion,while the second cutting reached 68 percent, one day behind last year, and nearly a week behind the average. The third cutting of alfalfa hay got underway this week.

Hay condition was rated at 68 percent good to excellent, while pasture condition rated 77 percent good to excellent.

Livestock saw some stress during the day, but generally recovered at night.

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather report.

“While there are certainly areas that have seen some crop damage due to the weather, in general both corn and beans are in good condition across much of the state,” he said.

Italian machines make pruning vineyards easier

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer WACONIA, Minn. — With the growing number of vineyards in Minnesota and Iowa, machinery is coming to the rescue for the labor-intensive process of pruning, shearing, scalping and shaping vineyards. While pruning prevents your vineyard from becoming an eyesore to you and your neighbors, it has a more important role.

In proper terms, it’s called canopy

management. Canopy management enables those potentially very productive vines to produce 6,000 pounds of grapes per acre instead of 3,000 pounds.

The shaping of each vine to an ideal configuration permits maximum yield while also greatly easing the equally labor-intensive harvest of those precious clusters of grapes.

Iowa, sells special equipment for the job. Marketing representative Brian Nordschow displayed the pruning equipment at the Canopy Management Seminar at Sovereign Estates Winery in Waconia. The seminar was sponsored by the Minnesota Grape Growers Association.

“We dabble in this special equipment for vineyards. This also works for small vegetable producers, even fruit growers. It’s a niche market but it’s growing,” said Nordschow.

Made in Italy Not surprising, much of this equipment stems from Europe where vineyards and wine production date back centuries. Made in Italy, Rinieri manufactures vineyard equipment distributed in North America.

Nordschow displayed both a Rinieri trimmer (often called a hedger) which trims both sides of your row of grapes; and a scalper for top trimming.

“These are designed to do summer pruning of grape vines. Anyone in the business knows so very well once you get your vineyard established those vines just grow and grow. The hydraulically driven trimmer mounts Dick Hagen on the front frame of your tractor so Grape growers check out the Rinieri prunyou see what you are trimming as you ing equipment at a canopy management head down the row,” said Nordschow. seminar at Sovereign Estate Winery in Waconia, Minn.

Trimmer saves time so grower can get to spraying Like a growing number of grape growers, he bought his machine because his only time for vineyard maintenance is the weekend.

“With three acres it was just too much for me to handle with hand clippers. My trimmer machine bails me out and gives me better timing for my fungicide sprays, too,” Nordschow said. “If I can keep my vines properly shaped I can get better apps of my

sprays. They work in combination.”

Nordschow has LaCrescent grapes and a plot of table grapes. He markets his grapes to Four Daughters Vineyard and Winery, Spring Valley, Minn.

PRUNING, from pg. 26A “This particular model has electronic controls so if your vineyard tractor has a cab, just a joystick runs the machine,” he said.

This specialty equipment is pricey. The smallest trimmer starts at about $3,500 and a bigger unit can be about $10,000.

Nordschow Grape grower Nordschow practices what he preaches. He has a three-acre vineyard so he has practical experience with the machines he sells.

“I owned a machine for four years. The only challenge I’ve encountered is the amount of attention needed so that you don’t run into any of the posts in my vineyard,” he said with a chuckle.

His point is to stay focused on the work when you are using these hydraulic machines. And if you’ve got those runner vines across the tops of your vineyard, once you’re done with the side trimming, park the machine.

“You’ll need to hand cut those scooter vines,” Nordschow said.

A little too wet for a age. What varieties do you have? bit so we’re seeing some disease presThull: LaCrescent, Frontenac Gris

Last year disease issues were pretty bad.

This year control has been easy with timely sprays and correct products.

— Jenny Thull and Marquette are the primary vines right now, but we are looking to the future and new varieties such as Minnesota 1285. This is a nice white variety which will be good for dry style whites. It has Front Gris in its background so it’s really hardy. It survived the Polar Vortex beautifully. It’s a nice growing vine, quite open. The Minnesota nursery people have this new product in their increase program. It potentially could be released in 2016 but more likely 2017.

Q: What’s the most labor intensive part of growing a vineyard?

Thull: Canopy management I believe. And that’s because we really put a lot of thought and effort into that project. Early season we are really

very busy, busy, busy. It’s training and directing each vine; even just portions of each vine. If you don’t do it correct at this stage, it’s just simply a bigger mess next year.

Q: How long is the season for canopy management?

Thull: It’s intensive from late May into mid-July. Come August and things have really slowed down. You can kick back a bit and just watch the fruit come of age. It’s that refreshing stage of the year when you can observe the good things going on out there and think ahead to the excitement of the harvest. Yes, harvest is a lot of work too. But with the right help providing you haven’t worn out your good friends and neighbors, the harvest is the true satisfaction.

Q: Are nets to protect against birds a must these days?

Thull: We think so. You can’t predict the challenges of any particular bird species from year to year. But why consider the risk. We use side netting which we put in place as veraison (ripening) begins. We’re probably at about 40 percent color when we net.

Q: Iowa has an Extension entomologist/viticulturist. If the Minnesota legislature finally makes that move wouldn’t you and John be logical candidates?

Thull: We tend to think that way, but there are talented people in this industry. And both John and I really enjoy the research side of this business. We also enjoy just connecting with other grape growers too. So doing a little bit of outreach but on our own terms is a goal for both of us right now.

■ Grape research is the top priority at the Horticultural Research Center.

Over 3,000 vines are planted each year and subjected to high standards of rigorous evaluations. Currently over 100 U of M advanced selections are being tested, as well as over 400 cultivars and selections from other breeding programs.

In addition to cold hardiness and disease resistance, viticultural traits such as productivity, cluster size, growth habit, bud break and ripening times are evaluated. The center is recognized as one of the top grape wine programs in the United States.

The Horticultural Research Center is open to the public and located one mile west of the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum on Highway 5 in Chanhassen. Visit ww.arboretum.umn.ed/bkd researchcenter.aspx to learn more. ❖

11,000 years ago. By that, Essig means that pigs hung around humans long enough to know that food was plentiful, so they moved in with us on their own.

Humans quickly realized that pigs were easy to keep; says Essig, “if it was biologically possible to raise pigs, people raised pigs.”

And that was the case on and off throughout history: pigs were handy and cheap, which was good for the poor but bad for a pig’s reputation. Politically, pigs sometimes “didn’t fit” and were ignored as food; other times, they were viewed as a stash of emergency vittles on the hoof. Pigs notoriously eat things that are taboo for us to eat, so they’ve been called unclean and disgusting. On the other hand, they’ve saved a lot of people’s bacon, in more ways than one.

Furthermore, calling a pig dirty, as Essig points out, is hogwash. Pigs are intelligent and resourceful. They’ll seize almost any chance to adapt to their surroundings and can help clear land quickly (sometimes to the chagrin of landowners).

They are more fecund than both cows and sheep.

And, thanks to our willingness to ask where dinner once slept, little piggies that go to market may enjoy better lives before they join us at the table.

Forget cats online: what make you say “awwwwww” are videos of those impossibly cute piglets with their long eyelashes. Agree? Then “Lesser Beasts” is going to put you in hog heaven.

Starting with a herd of porkers and ending with pleas for compassion,

author Mark Essig takes readers on a world tour that starts even before pigs became pigs. That science may be an odd way to start a history book, but it

fits – especially since we then head styward to see how hogs have fell into and out of favor with humans. Along the way, Essig fattens up his narrative with little bits of asides; for instance, the first Arnold Ziffel on TV’s Green Acres?

You don’t want to know…

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It’s got just enough lightheartedness in it to be fun, but it’s very informative, too.

If you love pigs or you’ve joined the “cult” of bacon, “Lesser Beasts” is a book you’ll want to take all the way home.

••• And about that Piggy That Went to Market? If you’re concerned about where he’s spent most of his life, look for “Pig Tales: An Omnivore’s Quest for Sustainable Meat” by Barry Estabrook. It’s a look at corporate farming, pig husbandry, environmental issues, and what’s on your plate.

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

Watonwan County Fair, St. James, Minn.

Watonwan County 4-H’er Allison Wolle

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

C

ounty fairs are wrapping up across Minnesota and Iowa. For many small towns and farm families, the county fair is a summer ritual that brings the whole community together.

In St. James on July 18, everyone met their friends at the Watonwan County Fair. Young people and their animals passed a hot summer day in the barns. Fans whirred to keep things cool.

Riders practiced in the horse arena, livestock was bought and sold at the 4-H and FFA Auction, and 4H projects were on display for all to see. The poultry barn was quiet due to avian influenza, but young

poultry growers created displays and demonstrated their knowledge before an audience.

A girls softball tournament took place behind the fairgrounds. Between games, the teams played bingo — three cards for a dollar. The lucky ones yelled “Bingo” and went home with a case of pop.

Barkers on the midway convinced people they could win a stuffed animal by throwing a ring over a glass bottle. Most went home broke and empty handed, but it was sure fun trying.

Brave teens hopped on a ride that was an extreme ferris wheel. Up in the air they went in closed cars

that spun them upside down. The little ones were content on the carousel and spinning bears.

The smell of corndogs and cheese curds filled the air. Fresh squeezed lemonade refreshed hot fairgoers and dairy treats were so thick they were eaten with a spoon.

As the county fairgrounds go dark for another year, we look forward to the Minnesota and Iowa State Fairs.

Good luck to the 4-H and FFA members heading to the state fair! We’ll meet you there. ❖

Nothing compares to the Iowa State Fair All information on Pages 2B-5B was submitted by the Iowa State Fair.

Frequently ranked as one of the top events in the country, the Iowa State Fair is the single largest event in the state of Iowa and one of the oldest and largest agricultural and industrial expositions in the country.

Annually attracting more than a million people from all over the world, the Iowa State Fair located at East 30th and East University, just 10 minutes from downtown Des Moines, is Iowa’s greatest celebration with a salute to the best in agriculture,

industry, entertainment and achievement.

A stop in the Ag Building is a must do for most fair-goers and this year, there will be some old favorites and

new attractions. The world-famous Iowa State Fair Butter Cow will be featured alongside a sculpture celebrating the 80th anniversary of Monopoly, one of the world’s most beloved family board games.

The classic fast-dealing property trading game was first commercially sold in the 1930s and has remained a popular game around the world.

Monopoly is locally licensed in more than 103 countries and printed in more than 37 languages.

In 2015, it will be sculpted entirely in butter by the talented Sarah Pratt and fair-goers can see their favorite Monopoly pieces come to life alongside Monopoly’s iconic character, Rich Uncle Pennybags.

In addition to the two butter sculptures, It Takes An Iowan will debut

nearby as an interactive exhibit focusing on Iowans as leaders in the ongoing effort of providing food for the nation and the world.

Highlighting the advancement of technology to better produce food, as well as education and agriculture around the world, stop by It Takes An Iowan to learn how Iowans are leaders in areas such as agriculture, education, communication, legislation, and much more.

Other great agriculture exhibits and demonstrations include giant pumpkins, jumbo fruits and vegetables, the Discovery Garden, daily stage presentations and more.

All exhibits will be on display in the 111-year-old John Deere Agriculture Building 9 a.m.-9 p.m. daily during the fair, Aug. 13-23. ❖

“Now my kids are willing to try a lot of things,” she said. “They know that one bite of something won’t kill them. And it’s wonderful if you like it.”

Sarah’s favorite Cookbook Corner recipe is a quick spaghetti carbonara.

“It’s very impressive and yet easy,” she said.

Sarah is no food snob.

Carolyn Van Loh

Carolyn Van Loh is a history buff and retired English professor from Pillsbury Baptist Bible College in Owatonna, Minn. She has been a correspondent for The Land since 2009.

Married to farmer Dave Van Loh, Carolyn has two grown children, and five grandchildren ages 10 to 19. She loves Carolyn Van living amidst the heritage of the family farm near WestLoh is schedbrook in Cottonwood County, Minn. uled to appear “I was never going to marry a farmer and I didn’t. On our at The Land’s 14th wedding anniversary we moved back to the Van Loh booth #2402 in family farm when my father-in-law retired,” she said. “It’s Ag Tent I on one of the best things I ever did.”

Wednesday, Carolyn enjoys living in the country and admiring the Aug. 5, from 34 p.m. rural scenery in all seasons.

In the past year, she took readers to a Brazilian farm. Her most memorable story was Christmas 2011 when she introduced readers to Mike and Connie Gunderson, a farm couple that had surmounted major medical challenges.

“None of my stories are what kind of seed to buy. I like the people stories,” said Carolyn.

She is the author of three books. “A Place of Interest: One Family’s Journey to the Farmlands of Minnesota” tells the story of a community growing up on the prairie based on her mother-in-law’s diary. “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” is a 50-year history of Pillsbury Baptist Bible College and “Strong Roots: The People of the Minnesota Farm Bureau” is a history of the organization’s first 90 years.

Tim & Jan King

Tim and Jan King have been a journalistic team for The Land since 1985. Tim conducts the interviews while Jan takes notes and shoots photos. Then Tim writes the stories.

“It’s just a wonderful partnership,”Tim said.

Tim and Jan live on an organic veg- Tim and Jan King are scheduled etable farm near Long Prairie, Minn., that to appear at The Land’s booth they call Maple Hill Garden. They grow #2402 in Ag Tent I on Wedneslots of fruit including strawberries, apples day, Aug. 5, from 1-3 p.m. and melons. In the last four years, their son has added market lambs and pasture chickens to the place.

Tim and Jan write many stories on organic and sustainable farms. This year, the Kings took us to Fox Farm Pork in Browerville, Minn., and a 200acre cattle ranch near Staples, Minn. Tim is also the reader behind The Land’s recurring Readers’ Retreat feature.

The duo may be best known to Land readers for their frequent contributions to the Back Roads series, such as their visits to a treehouse in Long Prairie, Minn.; a grain mill in Caledonia, Minn.; a toy store in Kellogg, Minn., and many more.

“I just went to a pow wow on Leech Lake,” said Tim. “Doing it alone would be a lonely experience, but doing it together, it’s a wonderful adventure with your wife of 45 years.”

Karen Schwaller

Since 2012, The Land readers have laughed, cried and connected with Karen Schwaller in her Table Talk column.

Her down-to-earth stories tell the life of a farm woman with heart and humor.

“I’ve been a farm girl for 50 some years,” she said.

Karen grew up on a grain and livestock farm in Northwest Karen Iowa, attended college and lived in town for a year or two Schwaller is before she married Dave and went back to the farm for the scheduled to rest of her being. The Schwallers grow corn, soybeans and appear at The alfalfa and raise sheep on their farm near Milford, Iowa.

Land’s booth “No one is sorry that we don’t have hogs anymore,” she #2402 in Ag quipped. On loading day, the kids would be crying because Tent I on loading hogs brings out the worst in people sometimes, but Wednesday, a doughnut on the way to the sale barn made everything Aug. 5, from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. better.

Now Karen’s twin sons and daughter are in their 20s. The boys are farming and have a cow-calf operation and her daughter is an agribusiness sales manager.

Her role on the farm is keeping the farmer going, the family and house running, the finances in order, and being the main gofer person. Then there’s that “nasty laundry” and mowing that needs to get done. Still she is always up for helping out with the down and dirty work when called: lambing, calving, loading sheep, running the hay rake or baler.

“Stacking hay in the barn — now that’s a bra tester, especially on those really hot days,” said Karen.

A seasoned writer and speaker, she runs a business called Schwaller AgriStories.

“The farm woman is a really important person on the farm. Her role is so varied,” Karen said. “And by writing about it, I feel like the rest of the world can understand the life we live.”

Her best columns are collected in her book “The Dirt: Family Life on an Iowa Farm – Stories to Entertain and Inspire.” The books may be available for sale and signing at The Land’s Farmfest booth. To learn more about Karen, visit www.karenschwaller.com.

THE LAND — 2015 FARMFEST ANNUAL

For 22 years, Alan Guebert has been writing his weekly Farm and Food File column, nationally syndicated in 70 newspapers around the country. The Land has carried his column since 1994.

Along the way, Alan has written about big ag, politics, farm bills, farm policy, food labeling and genetically-modiAlan Guebert fied organisms among other controversial topics. Contrary is scheduled to to popular belief, he says he is not against “big ag,” but appear at The insists the industry and farm groups could do things betLand’s booth ter. #2402 in Ag “I do journalism. I do hard journalism so when I write Tent I on something it’s what I believe and it’s what I can back up Thursday, Aug. with facts and figures,” he said. “No one’s lukewarm on me. 6, from 9 a.m. They’re cold or they’re hot.”

3 p.m.

Farming is constantly changing and Alan said farming is due for another change — one in which the millions of people in this country who don’t farm are going to have something to say about where their food comes from.

“A good meal, 2,000 years ago — lamb chops, lots of red wine and a loaf of bread. It was good enough for Julius Caesar,” Alan said. “And it’s still a good meal. Good food isn’t complicated, but boy we’ve sure made it that way.”

Alan recalled his mother’s canned peaches in which opening a jar in winter was “July in January.”

Guebert’s most beloved columns are memories and stories about growing up on a 720-acre, 100-cow southern Illinois dairy farm in the late 1960s.

Those columns are now available in the book “The Land of Milk and Uncle Honey” published by the University of Illinois Press.

He will be selling and signing “The Land of Milk and Uncle Honey” at The Land’s booth at Farmfest on Thursday, Aug. 6.

Alan said he is fortunate to have so many stories to tell about life on the farm — such as learning how to drive a tractor.

“I’ll betcha every farm kid remembers that,” said Alan.

Alan’s daughter, Mary Grace Foxwell, conceptualized the book, as well as collected the columns and edited it. Each column recalls and reflects on the people, food and values her father learned on the farm. She also wrote the epilogue that details her own memories of her father and lessons from her grandparents’ farm.

There was no shortage of hard work on the farm, and Alan and his brothers worked alongside the hired men.

“You got up at 5 a.m. and milked with the hired man, Howard, then worked all day in the fields and then you milked that evening,” he said.

“That was a good day. It built character and responsibility and the willingness to get up tomorrow and do it again.”

Several stories center on Alan’s great Uncle Honey, who retired from his in-town job to “help” his father on their farm. Uncle Honey was a gentle giant, but a “throttle-breaking terror” on a tractor.

“A good day to Uncle Honey was mowing hay, leaving the farm, having a little 7 Up or Budweiser and playing euchre,” Alan said.

So what would Uncle Honey say about Country of Origin Labeling, GMOs and Chipotle?

Uncle Honey would give a quick hand wave and say “Aaah” like the old Germans.

“He’d nod and get on his Oliver 77 and go mow hay,” said Alan.

In 2014, the Minneapolis Star Tribune counted 12 grain bin entrapments in Minnesota through September.

Safety and Security Consultation Specialists are partnering with Brock Grain Systems to conduct live grain bin demonstrations and educational safety this year at Farmfest. The demonstrations are designed to increase the awareness of the dangers of engulfment in flowing grain and the safety procedures that can save lives.

Two Minnesota farmers were recently rescued from entrapment accidents in grain bins. If the first responders did not have proper training and equipment, the farmers may not have been saved.

This demonstration offers critical education for producers and first responders to make them aware of the specialized equipment training needed to rescue someone entrapped in a grain bin. The chances of surviving an engulfment are greatly increased if a rescue tube is used.

Grain bin dangers Jack Volz, president of SASCS, noted the human body is far more dense than the grain, and will sink to the lowest point.

“It’s just like being shrink-wrapped, and it’s constantly pushing against you like quicksand,” he said.

“Most victims are completely submerged in seconds.

Ninety-two percent of people fully engulfed in grain do not survive. If a man is buried in grain to his waist, it will take 625 pounds of force over his body weight to free him from the grain.”

The grain rescue tube was developed by Purdue University. It consists of a round tube made of interlocking panels. It’s jammed into the grain around the victim.

This training is conducted for the fire and ambulance departments around the state of Minnesota.

SASCS will be at the Brock Grain Systems Farmfest exhibit (Booth 620) doing live demonstrations all three days. The group will be doing “rescues” each day at 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. as well as at 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. using volunteers from the crowd. The demonstration trailer is self-contained and has a video camera and large screen TV to show what is going on inside the bin during the rescue. Plastic pellets are used instead of grain.
