Letter: Bring back Citizens’ Board

Letter: Davis is not courageous To the Editor: I agree with all but one paragraph of The Land Managing Editor Tom Royer’s “A matter of core values” opinion column (“Land Minds,” Sept. 11 issue).

I do not think Kim Davis is a “courageous woman” for refusing to carry out her elected official duties.

The courageous thing for her to do would be to resign her position in defense of her religion. Royer says she took an oath on a Bible. Her oath is to “support the Constitution of the United States” and Kentucky and to “faithfully discharge the duties” of the Office of Clerk.

If she won’t fulfill her duties, she needs to resign.

It’s hypocritical if her oath on the Bible means nothing.

and Environmental Bill which he was on, Sen. Marty made a motion to take out the provision eliminating the Citizens’ Board. Sen. Hoffman voted for it. One more Senate vote was needed but Sen. Sparks did not vote for it. If he had, that provision would have come out in Conference Committee during the regular session.

2. Sen. Sparks then voted for the bill on the floor during the regular session with this bad provision included.

3. During the Special Session, the bill included the provision to eliminate the Citizens’ Board. Sen. Sparks voted for the bill even though 29 of his DFL colleagues didn’t. Even with his vote the bill still failed to pass.

4. The Senate then took out the provision eliminating the Citizens’ Board and sent the bill to the House. The House reinserted that language and sent the bill back to the Senate. We needed the Senate to vote not to concur and send the bill to conference committee. However, Sen. Sparks voted to concur leading to the bill passing with this bad provision included.

As a committee chair and conference committee member, Sen. Sparks had a chance to keep this from passing. His voting record indicates that he fully supported this provision. I hope that Sen. Sparks plays an active role in seeing the MPCA Citizens’ Board restored.

By RENAE B. VANDER SCHAAF The Land Correspondent SIOUX CENTER, Iowa — Fall is a busy time on the farm. Farmers are cutting corn for silage, combines can be seen harvesting in soybean fields, and apples are ripe at local orchards.

At Dave Vander Werf ’s farm west of Sioux Center, he was keeping one eye on the dark clouds in the sky and another eye on the work the mechanical harvester was doing on the ripe Aronia berries.

Rain would shut down harvest on his 20,000 plants that were at the perfect Brix level for harvest. The plants that had been planted in 2012 were producing a bumper crop of superb quality berries.

It is a relatively new crop to the Midwest, but one that is gaining in popularity. It wasn’t that many years ago that the berry was unknown to Vander Werf.

“Be careful what you pray for,” advised Vander Werf. “We were looking for another business investment after selling a different business. I had ideas of just being a silent partner.”

Those ideas all changed when Vander Werf met a man who had just planted Aronia berries. The more they visited the more interesting it sounded. Never a farm boy, the idea of farming appealed to Vander Werf. He See ARONIA, pg. 6A

Lighter soil may be poor for corn, but perfect for berries ARONIA, from pg. 5A researched for two years, asking many questions of those with experience in growing Aronias.

He learned Aronia berries are native to the United States. Lewis and Clark mentioned them in their writings, referring to them as black chokeberries. Aronias are a dark purple almost black berry that grows on bushes and are packed full of antioxidants. It is a big

industry in Europe, especially Poland.

“My wife and I never really thought it could happen,” said Vander Werf. “Land in Sioux County is just too expensive.

Then this piece came up for sale. It is poor, lighter soil, that is not so good for corn or soybeans. But perfect for Aronias.”

and wet, the plants do not release the berries from the plant during harvest.

Typically harvesting begins around 10 a.m. and a good day goes until dusk.

He sells his berries to the North American Aronia Cooperative, of which he is a member. NAAC is a 70member co-op begun in 2014. Members are from Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Quebec, Canada.

The two, possibly three, refrigerated trucks filled with his berries will go to Marshalltown, Iowa, where they are run through a cleaner to separate more debris from the fruit.

The berries are sold by the NAAC. Last year the berries went to a nutraceutical company where the juice was extracted. The resulting pumice

was ground and used in pills as a vitamin supplement.

“There is evidence that supports the cancer prevention properties of the Aronia berry,” said Vander Werf. “People tell me how it has helped control their arthritic pain, and it has probiotics needed for a healthy digestive system.”

From his own experience, Vander Werf is sure that it boosts immune systems. He has a smoothie every day made with fresh or frozen Aronia berries, yogurt and orange juice. The Aronia berry can be stored in the refrigerator for a long time before spoiling.

“There are a million bushes in the ground in the Midwest area,” said Vander Werf. “Aronia has a future; it is a viable industry. There is continued growth, with new growers entering and expansion by current growers.”

To learn more about Aronia berries, you may see Dave Vander Werf as one of the planned speakers for the Global Ag Summit to be held at Dordt College in Sioux Center, March 3 and 4, 2016.

While they are considered a lowmaintenance plant, Vander Werf is meticulous about controlling weeds and irrigating regularly with the underground dripline irrigation system that is fed from the farm’s well.

The berries are harvested with a harvester designed for blueberry, raspberry, currant and Aronia berries. For now Vander Werf hires the machine and operator and four other people to help at harvest time. He plans to purchase his own harvester someday. As with other crops, weather does makes a difference, he said. If it is too humid

Taiwan to buy corn, beans from Midwest farmers ST. PAUL, Minn. — Gov. Mark Dayton hosted a Taiwanese delegation, agricultural trade event on Sept. 21. Joined by Dayton, Taiwanese trade officials and business leaders signed letters of intent to purchase billions of dollars of agricultural products

from farmers in Minnesota and other Midwestern states over the next two years.

The Taiwanese delegation plans to purchase up to $2.49 billion of American corn and soybeans in 2016 and 2017. Taiwan is Minnesota’s sixth-largest export

market, and a key trading partner for the state’s corn and soybean growers.

“Minnesota farmers produce the highest quality agricultural products in the world,” said Dayton. “Our trade relations around the world, including Taiwan, are crucial to ensuring that our farmers can sell their products in the global marketplace. I want to thank everyone involved, especially the corn and soybean growers of Minnesota, for their efforts to promote our state and support strong business relationships.”

The Taiwanese delegation, led by Cheng-Taung Wang, Deputy Minister of the Taiwan Council of Agriculture, plans to purchase 197 million bushels of U.S. corn and 500,000 metric tons of dried distillers grains, valued at an estimated $1.23 billion. The deal also includes the purchase of between 96 million and 107 million bushels of U.S. soybeans valued at an estimated $1.26 billion.

“The U.S. remains one of Taiwan’s largest trade partners for agricultural products, regularly supplying one-fourth of the island’s total food import needs,” said Wang. “This visit will help to furtherstrengthen our bilateral trade relations.”

In January 2013, Minnesota Agriculture Commissioner Dave Frederickson led a trade mission to Taiwan and personally extended an invitation to Taiwanese trade officials to visit Minnesota and sign letters of intent to purchase corn and soybeans. The delegation’s visit sustains this strong trade relationship, between these countries.

This article was submitted by the Office of Gov. Mark Dayton and Lt. Gov. Tina Smith. ❖

Minnesota Corn hosts farm visit Nothing builds trust in Minnesota agriculture like seeing a real Minnesota farm in action.

The delegation from Taiwan visited the family farm of Roger Toquam near Blooming Prairie. Toquam is a fourth generation corn, soybean and hog farmer.

The visit, coordinated by the Minnesota Corn Growers Association, was an opportunity to help the Tiawanese develop a better understanding of Minnesota agriculture and the care Minnesota farmers take in growing food, feed, fiber and fuel for an increasing world population.

“It was a great group with a lot of questions,” Toquam said. “it’s a good thing to have groups like this on Minnesota farms.

At Toquam’s farm, the delegation asked questions about planting, the upcoming harvest, fertilizer use and how the quality of the crop is maintained during harvest and transportation.

Toqam and his family also led a walking tour of the farm and highlighted the many conservation practices they employ. There was even time for members of the delegation to take selfies in Toquam’s corn and soybean fields.

Mark, Nancy and Jolie Kooima are busy getting ready for the season at Pumpkins on Garfield. A 1953 Chevy truck once hauled feed and now holds pumpkins.

By RENAE B. VANDER SCHAAF The Land Correspondent DOON, Iowa — Mark and Nancy Kooima like to grow pumpkins, and people like to come out to the farm, relax in the sunshine and fresh air, and enjoy fall weather — when it’s actually enjoyable. That’s how the Kooimas began their pumpkin business.

“Five years ago, fall had only four sunshiny days; the rest were overcast, or overcast with rain,” said Mark. “We had been selling pumpkins from a flatbed for three years. That year the dreary weather hatched this idea of building a shed.”

With the shed, the Kooimas now had a permanent place to continue vending vegetables beginning in September and expand their pumpkins and squash varieties to 2.5 acres of land and start a corn maze. It also gave their business a name: Pumpkins on Garfield, which reflects their location on Garfield Avenue, three miles south of Doon.

The Kooimas harvest all the pumpkins themselves, bringing them into the shed. Hay and straw bales make the perfect backdrop for the many colors of fall. Customers like to browse around the bright,

airy shed looking for the right pumpkins.

There are many choices in color, shapes and types.

Peanut shells and knucklehead pumpkins are conversation starters, and popular. Broom corn, ornamental corn in many different colors and sizes make selection difficult, but fun.

One of the most beloved items in the shed is the 1953 Chevy pickup. Families enjoy taking pictures around it. The pickup at one time belonged to Mark’s brother’s father-in-law. He used it to haul feed to his customers in Renville, Minn. After his death, the pickup moved to Iowa. The pumpkin shed seems to be its permanent home now.

“I can’t get it started,” said Mark. “And I am not sure I want to as, if I remember right, the last time I drove it the brakes didn’t work.”

The Kooimas have learned that many groups want to enjoy a meal together on the picnic tables outdoors. They would bring taverns (or sloppy joe), chips and pop. This year, the Kooimas finished a small indoor kitchen complete with counter space and electrical outlets for crock pots to meet their customers’ needs.

Corn maze The corn maze was added several years ago. This season’s design is a combine harvesting corn.

Kooima uses a GPS, map and mower to lay out the maze when the corn is about knee high. It needs cutting twice, then is mowed several times throughout the summer, when the sunshine and rain provide the right environment for weeds to grow.

The maze has 10 stations where the maze enthusiasts obtain a punch on a card for locating each station. For an additional challenge, the Kooimas See GARFIELD, pg. 10A

“Yes, people do get lost,” said Mark. “Last year I had to come to the rescue twice.”

“Telephone numbers are included for that very purpose,” said Nancy. “People do go through the maze in the daylight, such as school groups. It is at night when it really is popular.”

Both are sold unbaked and frozen. Occasionally she does have baked treats available. Jams, salsas and other canned items from a commercial kitchen can be purchased.

Customers buy pumpkins for fall displays but also to make pies and breads. The Cinderella pumpkin seems to be a favorite with customers for that purpose. The Kooimas also grow pie pumpkins.

“All pumpkins will work to some extent,” said Nancy. “The larger ones are more watery.”

Growing Mark plants his pumpkin, gourd and squash seeds around May 10. Cucurbits like warm soil, and surprisingly do very well if it is hot and dry.

There is more to it than putting the seed in the ground. He watches carefully to see that all varieties germinate, as some can be touchy with their germination. Animals might dig up the seed to eat, or insects may attack the new seedling. Often times

Nancy is often asked how to prepare a pumpkin for baking. She offers this advice: 1. Wash the pumpkin before cutting in half.

2. Clean out the seeds and pulp.

3. Place cut side down on baking pan with a tad bit of water.

4. Bake at 350 F until tender, a fork easily pierces the skin.

5. Remove the cooked pumpkin.

6. Puree.

7. Use immediately or freeze in two-cup amounts for later use. there is some replanting; that was not the case this year.

“The battle with weeds begins almost immediately,” said Mark. “A small tractor and cultivator do a good job first. Later the weed battle is fought with a hoe until the vines get too thick.”

Mark continues to monitor the plants for insect pressure or plant diseases. Before 2012 corn rootworm beetles were a menace. They destroy the crop by chewing up the leaves and even eating the skin of pumpkins.

“The winter of 2012 was cold and dry,” said Mark.

“Since then we have not found many corn rootworm beetles even feeding on corn roots.”

Concerned about the lack of bees in his pumpkin vines, he wondered how to change that. He noticed the few sunflower plants growing always seemed to attract bees.

He planted a row of sunflowers along the edge of the pumpkin field. They did draw bees and other pollinators. It appears that once the sunflower blossom is finished the bees are looking for something new.

They locate the pumpkin blossoms and get right to work.

Pumpkins on Garfield is often on Mark’s mind.

Once while on a family fishing vacation near Perham, Minn., he noticed some fall metalworks next to a store. He hastily got his wife from the resort, telling her, “You just gotta see these!”

The end result was a car filled with as many treasures as they could haul. The same might happen to you at Pumpkins on Garfield. ❖

THE NEW CHAPTER IN LAGOON BOATS

THE CRAWLER!

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

The Nuhn Lagoon Crawler is an amphibious vehicle designed for agitating lagoons.

The wheels are able to drop down, giving the vehicle roughly 5 feet of ground clearance. The unit then drives itself into a lagoon, where it turns into an agitation boat.

When in the lagoon, the Lagoon Crawler is powered by a quad port, Nuhn Header Series manure pump. 10000+GPM volumes are used to maneuver the pontoon through the lagoon and agitate the solids from the bottom.

The Nuhn Lagoon Crawler does not need a priming system.

Once the lagoon is emptied, the four wheels are lowered and the machine is able to drive itself out of the lagoon.

Minnesota, Iowa, USDA prepare for potential avian flu outbreak

By MARIE WOOD The Land Associate Editor Experts don’t know if highly pathogenic avian influenza will be back this fall, but the Minnesota Board of Animal Health and Minnesota poultry farmers are prepared should the deadly virus return.

Bill Hartmann, BAH executive Bill Hartmann director and state veterinarian, has set a goal of 24 to 48 hours to depopulate barns once the virus is detected. In the spring, some barns were not depopulated for four to five days.

“The main thing is making sure we depopulate the flocks in 24 to 48 hours. That’s so crucial in stopping the production of this virus,” said Hartmann. “If the virus is allowed to spread within the barn then there becomes more virus in the environment. The air can be exhausted from the barn through the fans and outside.”

Steve Olson, executive director of the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association, agreed that the No. 1 lesson was to respond more quickly when this virus gets into a flock, but that no one was at fault for the response time.

“People worked well together. We had so many flocks breaking at the same time that it was tough to keep up with the depopulation process,” said Olson.

MTGA is working with the state to ensure that emergency equipment and trained personnel are on hand.

The late winter and spring avian influenza outbreak claimed over 9 million birds across 108 farms and 23 counties in Minnesota. Kandiyohi County reported 40 virus sites.

Another big change will be the appointment of permanent case managers from the state to infected Steve Olson farms. During the spring outbreak, U.S. Department of Agriculture case managers were deployed for three-week details.

“Some people experienced as many as eight to 10 case managers during the time their farm was quarantined,” said Hartmann. “That didn’t work very well.”

The 2015 Minnesota Legislature appropriated $11.8 million to avian flu response and recovery and an additional $10 million for low-interest disaster loans. Long range, $18 million has been approved for a veterinary isolation lab in St. Paul and $8.5 million for the poultry testing lab in Willmar through the 2015 bonding bill.

Hartmann has hired additional staff at the St. Paul lab to handle avian flu testing. The poultry-testing lab in Willmar will be expanded and is expected to be completed by summer 2016.

The USDA issued its Fall 2015 HPAI Preparedness and Response Plan which states that the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is prepared to depopulate all affected flocks within 24 hours of preliminary diagnosis.

To that end, APHIS has increased its ability to deploy personnel to an outbreak, inventoried equipment and supplies and enhanced lab preparedness.

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey issued a statement following the release of the federal plan.

“The USDA’s plan reinforces the efforts by our department and the poultry industry to focus on increased surveillance for the disease and strengthened biosecurity on farms,” said Northey.

“Preventing the disease through biosecurity and finding it quickly if it does apper is critically important to preventing the spread we saw earlier this year. All partners are also committed to responding quickly if a case does appear to deopopulate and limit the amount of virus created.”

In addition, Hartmann reported that the USDA is working on streamlining detection, appraisal and the cleaning and disinfecting processes.

Applying for indemnity for depopulated birds and reimbursement for the costs of cleaning and disinfecting from the USDA requires a lot of paperwork.

Having a permanent case manager also will help.

“The farmer can go to that person and develop a relationship and get consistent answers,” said Olson.

While an HPAI vaccine has tested to be effective on chickens, there are countries that won’t accept the product, explained Hartmann. He said that if the See AVIAN FLU, pg. 13A

The figures include losses of current birds and account for the downtime before restocking, as well as the time it takes to bring layers up to full production of eggs.

These numbers were crunched by Brigid Tuck, University of Minnesota Extension senior economic impact analyst, who produced a report on the economic impact of the avian flu crisis in May and an update in July.

“The takeaway is how devastating it was for our producers and just how quickly we can have severe disruptions in our economy,” she said.

Wholesale trade, trucking and grain farming are among the top 10 industries affected by avian flu. In the coming weeks, Tuck will be talking to economic developers to see how the recovery is going.

As for Thanksgiving, many turkeys were frozen and put into cold storage in January and some growers will have additional flocks ready for the holiday.

“There should be plenty of turkeys available for Thanksgiving,” said Olson.

Prices should be low as turkeys are a loss leader for grocery stores and Olson expects the same trend this year.

Waterfowls One way to better understand the virus is wild bird surveillance.

Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has collected 4,000 avian flu samples. A chickadee in Ramsey County and a Cooper’s hawk from Yellow Medicine County are the only wild birds to test positive for HPAI. According to the DNR website, researchers plan to conduct expanded surveillance this fall by testing ducks and geese in banding operations and sampling hunter-harvested waterfowl.

This summer, DNR researchers collaborated in a blood sample research project looking for avian flu antibodies in birds from a number of sites across North America. ❖

AVIAN FLU, from pg. 12A vaccine is used, it would likely be in a strategic manner such as within a control area around an affected site. Use must be approved by the USDA and state.

“There’s a reluctance to use it, but if it’s necessary to prevent outbreak it would be considered,” said Hartmann.

Recovery Restocking of barns is nearly complete. At least 87 farms have been restocked or have a restocking agreement in place as of Sept. 21. The mood of turkey growers is a combination of optimism and apprehension.

“Optimism comes from getting back into the business of raising birds or eggs,” said Olson. “There’s apprehension because there’s a lot to learn about this virus, what it’s going to be like this fall.”

Biosecurity reviews are being conducted by veterinarians once barns are restocked.

“The whole intent is to provide education to growers on the virus itself and have a discussion on biosecurity,” said Olson. “The information we learn will be available to everybody.”

Many growers have tightened biosecurity this summer. They are proofing buildings against wild birds and rodents and installing breezeways and corridors to reduce outside contact.

Several are installing Danish Entry Systems, which is an entryway where workers take off boots and coveralls and replace with an indoor set of coveralls and boots, explained Olson.

Some growers are dedicating equipment to each building if possible or implementing systems to clean equipment. Others have limited the number of times people and equipment go into a barn.

“If we can keep the virus out of the barns, we will win,” said Hartmann.

One grower testified to the Minnesota Legislature that he is investing in automatic nests which have bedding built into it, thus reducing the need to bring in bedding, said Olson.

Economic impact The economic impact of avian flu in lost turkey and egg production and processing has cost Minnesota’s economy an estimated $647.2 million. This includes $171.7 million of lost wages, salaries and benefits. Avian flu has also affected 2,500 jobs in some way.

By NANCY MADSEN Mankato Free Press ST. PETER, Minn. — A self-driving robot may be one of the next tools farmers use to increase productivity and help water quality.

The Rowbot, just 22 inches wide, fits between rows of corn, sowing rye grass and clover during a demonstration.

The grasses and clover are cover crops that reduce soil erosion. The team that designed the Rowbot envisions the potential to sow crops for biodiesel and to fertilize crops in smaller, targeted amounts.

“We are driven by a triple win-win,” CEO Kent Cavender-Bares said. “We can save farmers money by reducing the amount of nitrogen resources they need, increase the yield by using the same resources and help farmers be better stewards of the land. It’s all driven by stewardship.”

The rowbot uses sensors to stay between the rows of corn and is powered by diesel. It can spread seed or nitrogen fertilizer over four rows at once. The idea is to use docking stations to refill seed or fertilizer into one or several Rowbots at work.

Rowbot Systems is three years old and Cavender-Bares and Chris Reedy, vice president of business development, showed off its abilities, in part, to find farmers to participate in trials over thousands of planted corn acres next year.

“We like the idea of using cover crops, so that part of the solution is for farmers to farm more,” Reedy said.

The demonstration was part of a field day organized by the Seven Mile Creek Watershed Partnership along County Road 13 on Sept. 11. During the field day, about 30 farmers and other participants saw new methods of controlled drainage and a woodchip bioreactor.

“The purpose of these types of events is to expose farmers in the watershed to the newest and best for their farm operations and to improve water quality at the same time,” said Karen Galles, Seven Mile Creek Watershed coordinator.

A new controlled drainage system was installed on Chuck Peters’ land, similar to a terrace that helps stop erosion.

“We want to leave the land as good as we can and if there are ways to reduce damage to the environment, we’re going to try them,” Peters said.

can be adjusted based on crops or conditions. Galles said that drainage systems are set up to get the water down to four feet below the surface, which allows farmers dry and easy access.

“The rest of the time, it can be advantageous to hold water,” she said.

And with this system, farmers could keep the moisture in the fields.

The third method was a woodchip bioreactor to take nitrates out of the water coming out of agricultural fields.

The bioreactor is being built in a field next to County Road 13 in a project managed by Mark Origer at I&S Group.

Chuck Brandel, senior civil engineer with I&S Group, said the near future is a prime time to improve a lot of drainage systems in the region.

“A lot of tile systems are being redone with the infrastructure being about 100 years old,” he said.

“This is a big opportunity. It could be incorporated in a lot of systems in southern Minnesota.”

Insurance is recommended for outdoor furnaces.

Your local insurance company may have rules regarding distance between the furnace and your residence.

Heatmor markets through area dealers.

“We’re in every state that burns wood,” said Bakke.

He indicated market activity for outdoor furnaces relates to the cost of other fuels. But Bakke is certain over the long haul an investor gets more for his buck going the route of wood-burning outdoor furnaces.

Mike Galusha, Heatmor dealer support/service and warranty, said that the outdoor furnaces are popular with farm and rural customers because they have access to their own wood. Farmers find many uses outside of the ususal home heating.

“Lots of greenhouses, turkey barns, hog facilities, even did a chicken coop. And farm shops are becoming quite common,” said Galusha. “The more functions off a given system, the quicker the payback.”

“Saving up to $400-$500 per month is common and with additional hookups a $1,000 per month reduction in your heating bill is easily doable,” said Bakke.

He said four- to five-year paybacks are the norm.

He has his shop, his house and his hot water hooked up to his five-year-old unit.

Looking ahead, Bakke said research and development is a continual function with Heatmor. For example, Heatmor’s new EPA-qualified units are updrafts which are easier to manage than conventional down draft furnaces.

“There’s more but I can’t share because this is a competitive market,” he said.

A new product for Heatmor is gun safes. Bakke said they are all 3/16-inch body and up to a half-inch door. Fire rating is 1,200 F for 90 minutes. They are hefty, starting at 1,050 pounds. Prices start at $4,000 for the gun safes which can be accessed at www.Reedcustom.com.

Vintner: Local wines ‘hold their own’ against West Coast distinguish flavor differences between the two sources of wine.

“We tell our staff that it’s not about a hard sell of our Minnesota wines but rather it’s about giving people an experience with Minnesota wines,” Peterson said. “Their taste buds are going to tell them their preferences.”

Like a proud parent, Peterson commented, “You’d be surprised how our local varieties are really holding their own against the West Coast varieties.”

“I do think our Minnesota wine business is in its infancy. My wife’s family is from Germany, where she was born.

told him 1995. He said, ‘1995,’ with a quizzical look on his face. He told me that his great-great-grandfather always used to say the first 100 years in the business are the most difficult; after that it gets much easier.”

Peterson pondered the winemaker’s comments on the way home.

“Here in Minnesota we started with some of the French varieties in the 1970s and 80s. They weren’t winter hardy so we’d take them off the trellis and bury them in the soil,” he said.

“That’s how my family started growing grapes in the ’90s but thankfully our University developed winter hardy grapes and that has been our salvation.”

In 2014, Winehaven Winery sold about 60,000 bottles with about half of that volume being the honey wines and fruit wines (strawberry, rhubarb, raspberry) that were the original legacy of this fourth generation family farm.

and additional wines.

“We’ve always tried to be very local in our wine offerings. Essentially everything grown right here on our own farm,” said Peterson.

“The reason we’ve maintained our fruit and honey wines was in case we had a bad winter and lost our grape vines we would still have something to sell,” he added.

As the business has grown, the Petersons have had to purchase some “outside” ingredients so their wines are now about 85 percent Minnesota grown. Two California wines are now part of the wine listing of Winehaven Winery.

Using Minnesota-developed winter hardy varieties gives this winery and its customers a “tasting opportunity” to compare a Minnesota-grown Marquette, developed by the University of Minnesota, with a California Merlot.

He describes this as giving a baseline of comparison for their customers.

Peterson isn’t suggesting that his customers have taste buds that can

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 25, 2015

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer With 20 years in the winemaking business, Winehaven Winery in Chisago City, Minn., is one of the pioneers in the Minnesota wine industry which continues its yearly growth.

Kyle Peterson, whose family owns and operates Winehaven Winery, shared some history.

“This September starts our 20th season. My family, prior to my time, had been raising honey and fruits since the 1960s. My granddad was farming and was doing some wines mostly as a hobby because we had the natural resources and access to the prime ingredients,” he said. “People enjoyed our wines. We would give it away as gifts to our friends and family for the holidays. But it seemed wise to do wine as a business to create a value-added product for things we already use.”

When Winehaven Winery opened in 1995 all it had to offer was wine made from their own honey. The second year they added raspberry wine. In 1997, Winehaven had its first grape harvest

Transportation funding critical in rural Minnesota

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Minnesota Farmers Union Vice President Gary Wertish has singled out transportation as a major concern for his organization.

He said people tell him that potholes in streets and highways are worse than usual this season.

“It appears we are funding our transportation system with an outdated model,” he said.

Minnesota farmers took advantage of an average 5.3 days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending Sept. 20, with crop harvest progressing well ahead of last year for most crops, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service.

Harvest advanced for dry edible beans, corn for silage, potatoes, and sugarbeets; and started for corn for grain and soybeans. Farmers also harvested sweet corn.

Topsoil moisture supplies were rated two percent very short, 11 percent short, 83 percent adequate, and four percent surplus. Subsoil moisture supplies were rated two percent very short, 12 percent short, 83 percent adequate, and three percent surplus.

As for Minnesota’s corn acreage, 41 percent was mature, seven days ahead of last year but equal to the five-year average. Corn condition rated 88 percent good to excellent. Regarding the state’s corn for silage crop, 30 percent was harvested during the week, reaching 67 percent.

In soybean acreage, 72 percent was dropping leaves or beyond, eight days ahead of last year and five days ahead of normal. Soybean harvest reached 12 percent. Soybean condition rated 78 percent good to excellent.

Dry edible bean fields were 77 percent harvested, only the third time in 20 years that three-quarters of the crop has been harvested by this date. As for the potato crop, 50 percent has been harvested.

Regarding the sugarbeet crop, 15 percent has been lifted, the most harvested by this date during the last 50 years. Sugarbeet condition rated 85 percent good to excellent. Sunflower condition rated 58 percent good to excellent.

The third cutting of alfalfa hay was 95 percent complete, over two weeks ahead of last year. Pasture condition rated 73 percent good to excellent, down two percentage points from the previous week.

Iowa A windy, warm, and mostly dry week in Iowa aided crop maturity for the week ending Sept. 20, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Statewide there were 4.8 days suitable for fieldwork. Fieldwork for the week included harvesting seed corn, chopping silage, cutting hay, and reports of scattered corn for grain and soybean harvest.

Farmers were also preparing farm equipment for the upcoming harvest. Reports indicated seed corn harvest was wrapping up, and corn harvested for grain has had widely varying moisture content.

Topsoil moisture levels rated zero percent very short, three percent short, 86 percent adequate and 11 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated zero percent very short, six percent short, 82 percent adequate and 12 percent surplus.

The corn crop is at 95 percent dent stage or beyond, with 49 percent mature, five days ahead of last year, but five days behind the five-year average.

Corn condition rated 79 percent good to excellent.

Regarding soybeans, 83 percent were starting to turn color or beyond, while 48 percent of soybeans

Grain Outlook Corn ends on soft note The following market analysis is for the week ending Sept. 18.

CORN — Corn jumped higher to start the week in a continuation upswing from the September crop report. The euphoria proved to be short-lived as corn retreated for four consecutive days to end the week on a soft note. For the week, December corn fell 9 3⁄4 cents to close at $3.77 1⁄4 per bushel. The July contract dropped 8 1⁄4 cents to settle at $4.01 3⁄4 per bushel.

Expansion of harvest progress was a factor in the decline, even as some early yield reports were less than expected. Steady crop PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. conditions as of Sept. 13 at 68 St. Paul percent good/excellent was a slight surprise when seasonally we begin to see conditions decline as the crop matures. As of Sept. 13, 35 percent of the crop was mature, just under the 40 percent average. Harvest was five percent complete compared to nine percent on average.

The release of the Farm Service Agency acreage report was a bit of a snafu. The data was released, then it was discovered the numbers were last year’s.

The correct numbers were then published. Corn acres entered into government programs were reported at 84.3 million acres, up 1.2 million acres from the August initial report. Prevented plant acres for corn were increased 51,000 acres to 2.35 million acres. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported planted corn acres on the September report at 88.9 million acres. While there is a distinct difference in the FSA and USDA acreage numbers, back See NYSTROM, pg. 23A

Livestock Angles Cattle prices falling

Grain Angles Technical or fundamental?

One thing about markets that never seems to change, is the changes that they continue to make each and every day.

The beginning of September has brought about a real contrast between the hog and cattle markets.

For quite some time the cattle was the market that did not seem to go down while the hogs were always in a downward drift. This month has started with a different venue. As hogs are still drifting lower, the cattle market is now experiencing real downward pressure on prices.

By the middle of the month catJOE TEALE tle prices were falling into the Broker lows of the year because of conGreat Plains Commodity cerns over demand for beef. A Afton, Minn. major change in the attitude toward the cattle market has not been seen in quite some time. Despite the fact that cattle numbers remain tight, the beef cutouts and the boxed beef movement suggest that beef prices were too high in comparison to other competitive meats.

One contributing factor was the large increase in cattle weights which has been able to keep the beef tonnage higher than many analysts had projected.

Another factor has been that the increased numbers in pork, chicken and turkey production has pushed the prices of each lower, making the competition of these meats more attractive to the consumers. While cattle numbers are not expected to increase anytime soon, the relationship between all of the competitive meats will be a major factor in the price discovery process.

On Sept. 18, the USDA released the Monthly Cattle

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Supply and Demand reports released earlier in September confirmed the USDA is reducing its expectations on corn yields this fall. The national average corn yield is estimated at 167.5 bushels per acre. Minnesota corn yields expectations continue to be a bright spot.

The USDA expects Minnesota’s corn yield at 183 bushels per acre which is even two bushels higher than Iowa’s expected corn yield.

With national corn yields slightly lowered along with lower beginning stocks the market seems to have moved off of the August contract lows in December 2015 corn KURT LENSING futures.

AgStar Assistant VP and Industry Specialist You may have heard lately Waite Park, Minn. about technical analysis which is: reading commodity charts, identifying chart formations, and analyzing what trading volumes mean. The other more commonly known market analysis approach uses fundamental analysis, which takes supply and demand factors into account. Fundamental analysis is much easier for many to understand because supply and demand has an influence on anything and everything that is of value and exchanged between people.

Technical Analysis looks at historical price movements, and trade volumes along with trends in how the markets are moving in order to predict future price direction. Common technical indicators are 50and 100-day moving average prices, chart formations, and relative strength volume indicators.

Hog market sees little change TEALE, from pg. 22A on Feed report. The results are as follows; On Feed Sept. 1, 103 percent; Placed in August, 95 percent; and Marketed in August, 94 percent. The report was seen as friendly which could halt the recent slide in prices.

However the long-term outlook will still be determined by the consumer demand for beef, not the supply of beef. Producers should be wary of market rallies and pay close attention to competitive meat markets and protect inventories as needed.

Overall, the hog market has seen little change in the direction of the market in the past few weeks.

The trend is still on a downward drift in cash prices while the futures market has rallied to close the discount to the cash price. Hog numbers are still adequate to meet the packers needs and are expected to continue that way in the weeks ahead.

Pork demand has remained fairly well domestically but has suffered some in the export market due to a strong U.S. dollar. The demand for pork will certainly be a key factor in price determination in the upcoming months ahead. The USDA Quarterly Hogs and Pigs report due out Sept. 25 is expected to show a steady expansion in hog numbers. If this is, in fact the case, it will likely continue to keep the current trend of prices drifting lower intact.

Therefore, producers should continue to monitor market conditions and protect inventories as warranted. ❖

For example, technical analysis is currently suggesting a low has been put in place for corn prices, (maybe short term). Also corn prices have rallied above the 100-day moving average prices. Fundamental analysis has not changed drastically in the past month or two, since harvest or production numbers overall have only changed slightly.

whether the demand side can escape downward revisions as well, keeping carryout steady. Fund short covering on Monday gave corn its only higher close of the week. Funds were net sellers the balance of the week and were estimated by traders to be net short just 16,400 contracts at the end of the week. December corn’s first support is $3.64 3⁄4, then the contract low at $4.57 1⁄2 per bushel. Resistance lies at $3.95 per bushel, which was the high for the week and near the 62 percent retracement from the July high to the August low. If harvest yield reports improve, a new contract low may still be seen.

SOYBEANS — November soybeans extended the comeback seen on the September crop report day for the first part of the week, but the plunge on Friday erased the gains. November soybeans settled at $8.67 1⁄4 per bushel, down seven cents for the week.

July soybeans were down 1⁄4 cent for the week at $8.82 3⁄4 per bushel. Yield reports have not been disappointing on what little has been harvested and the September crop report was bearish. It shouldn’t be a surprise to see a pullback in prices. As of Sept.

13, 35 percent of the soybean crop was dropping leaves.

and 28 percent behind last year. We need to average nearly 30 million bushels per week to hit the USDA’s billion bushels forecast. Total export commitments on the books for this year have to be concerning.

There was trade chatter of Brazilian corn being sold in the U.S. Southeast market. A grain inspectors strike in Brazil that began Sept. 17 may slow their corn exports if it lasts very long. Brazil’s soybean shipments are showing a seasonal slowdown, so the strike may affect corn shipments more than soybean shipments.

China cut their domestic price subsidy (price growers receive subsidies to put bushels in state-owned reserves) to their growers by 10 percent as they try to get closer to world prices. The reduction still leaves the price at nearly $8.00 per bushel which is about double world prices and a third higher than the price of milo imports. The cut isn’t expected to keep Chinese growers from going in to the reserve or cut imports of other feed grains. One Chinese group estimates their ethanol imports will fall 13 percent to 4.5 million metric tons this year. COFCO also said China’s DDG imports could fall 15 percent year-onyear in 2015-16 to 4.5 mmt. Safras raised their 201516 Brazilian corn production forecast by 2.7 percent year-on-year to 88.57 mmt.

Ethanol production for the week ending Sept. 18 was 961,000 barrels per day, up 3,000 barrels per day from the previous week. Ethanol stocks fell 11 million gallons week-on-week to 772 million gallons, the lowest of the year.

OUTLOOK: The grower sales pattern continues to be slow after a small surge when prices rallied on the September crop report. The producer is expected to fill storage this fall based on their opinion of onfarm prices. This has occurred in the past, and the result has limited basis declines and kept futures spreads from going as wide as you might expect. The caveat to this moving forward may be changes in the 2015-16 balance sheet on the October report. Basis levels were softer this week, not an unexpected event as harvest progress spreads. While the yield outlook is anticipated to decrease, many question

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 25, 2015

NYSTROM, from pg. 22A in 2014 there was an approximately four-million-acre difference. Planted acres on the October USDA report may be reduced, but it doesn’t mean the numbers have to match. Did the report add anything to the market? Probably not.

The Federal Reserve met this past week and decided to keep interest rates unchanged for the time being. Initially, this was viewed as supportive to agricultural markets; however, upon review, one reason they weren’t raised was because global demand concerns continue to be a dark cloud over economies.

The Federal Reserve also wants to see more improvement in the U.S. labor market and be “reasonably confident” that inflation will increase before raising rates. They meet again in October and December.

Informa Economics refreshed their 2014-15 and 2015-16 balance sheets this week after the FSA information was made available. The highlights on the 2014-15 crop include a cut in non-ethanol usage to raise 2014-15 ending stocks to 1.747 billion bushels compared to the USDA’s 1.732 billion bushel carryout. On the 2015-16 supply/demand forecast, they lowered 2015 planted acreage by 500,000 acres to 88.4 million acres versus USDA’s 88.9 million on the September report, due to the new FSA numbers.

They left the yield outlook at 167.5 bushels per acre.

Informa’s carryout for 2015-16 is 1.590 billion bushels, in line with the UDSA’s 1.592 billion bushel projection on the September report. However, most expect the USDA to lower the corn yield on the October Supply/Demand report.

Looking ahead to the 2016 crop, Informa Economics predicts planted corn acreage will increase to 90.7 million acres, up 2.3 million acres from this year. Using a trendline-type yield of 168.9 bu./acre, they are forecasting 2016-17 carryout near 1.8 billion bushels. Their average futures price outlook for 2016-17 is $3.65 per bushel, down 30 cents from Informa’s $3.95 futures 2015-16 price forecast.

Weekly export sales were a measly 21 million bushels, keeping total commitments at a 10-year low

The USDA’s last planted acreage number was 84.3 million acres. Prevented plant acreage was 2.2 million acres, slightly higher than the August estimate of 2.17 million acres. Post-report chatter suggested the USDA may be over-stating planted acreage in soybeans.

keeping total commitments 33 percent behind last year. We need 22 million per week to hit the USDA’s 1.725 billion bushels projection. According to reports, Brazil’s soybeans are $25 per ton cheaper than U.S. origin for the February-March slot. This difference could test China’s patience and keep them at a hand-to-mouth pace.

Safras improved their 2015-16 Brazilian production forecast to 100.5 mmt, up 5.3 percent year-on-year and against USDA’s last forecast for 97 mmt.

In the coming week, China will make its annual trade mission visit to the United States. During this

MARKETING

visit, they are expected to enter into the usual “frame” contract for soybeans. The non-binding agreement does not include price or specific delivery periods, rather it indicates what China will buy from the United States during the year. China’s purchases of 2015-16 U.S. soybeans are 53 percent behind last year.

This week, the USDA announced sales totaling 496,500 metric tons of beans to China in their daily reports. Taiwan signed letters of intent to buy $3 billion worth of U.S. corn and corn by-products, soybeans and wheat by 2017 this past week. The agreement is not binding and is considered a political gesture.

OUTLOOK: The sizeable loss to end the week sets the market up for a test of the contract low at $8.53 1⁄4 per bushel. Soybean basis levels in general were mixed. Soybeans are the one commodity that the United States is competitive on the global stage.

However, with a huge soybean crop ready to make its way into the market channel, the bias is for lower basis numbers as the harvest pace accelerates.

Funds were thought to be short 52,400 soybean contracts as of the close on Sept. 18. Their short position may increase if yield reports continue to be as expected or better. Weather outlooks promote a speedy harvest forecast. The next big report will be Sept. 30 with the release of the Grain Stocks as of Sept. 1 report.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending Sept. 18: December Chicago wheat closed 1 3⁄4 cents higher, Minneapolis fell 1⁄2 cent and Kansas City was unchanged. October crude oil was a nickel higher, ultra-low-sulfur diesel plunged nearly six cents lower, reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending lost about 1 1⁄2 cents, and natural gas dropped 8 3⁄4 cents. ❖

United States continues the trend lower, primarily due to hot and/or humid weather, according to Dairy Market News. Exceptions can be seen in Utah, Idaho, New Mexico, and the Southeast, where cooler temperatures are adding to milk output. Fluid demand is active as bottling plants fill school and university pipelines and Northwest bottlers note an increase in demand for whole milk.

Speaking of fluid demand; Dairy Market News reports July packaged fluid milk sales totaled 3.92 billion pounds, down just 0.3 percent from July 2014. Sales of conventional products totaled 3.7 billion pounds, down 0.2 percent from a year ago; organic products, at 202 million pounds, were down 1.6 percent. Organic represented about 5.2 percent of total fluid sales for the month.

Looking at the January to July period, total packaged fluid sales, at 28.5 billion pounds, were down 1.6 percent from a year ago. July whole milk sales limited the overall drop in fluid sales, totaling 1.2 million pounds, up 5.3 percent from a year ago, with year to date sales totaling 7.9 million pounds, up 3.6 percent.

■ FC Stone’s Dave Kurzawski reported in his Sept. 14 Early Morning Update that U.S. dairy cow slaughter under federal inspection for the week ending Aug. 29 was estimated at 53,900, down 1,100 (two percent) from the prior week.

Cheese makers holding blocks for year-end demand MIELKE, from pg. 25A in the national slaughter rate, Region 9, which includes California, Nevada, Arizona and Hawaii saw a 1,200-head (nine percent) increase week over week to a total of 14,600 head.

The year-to-date slaughter rate for these states is running at an estimated 10.7 percent increase compared to the same period last year while the Midwest states of Region 5 including Wisconsin and Michigan have seen the year-to-date slaughter rate decline by nine percent. Kurzawski says “The inversion in the slaughter rates should be attributed to geographically specific profitability, or lack thereof, in the current environment of depressed milk prices.”

■ The question on world dairy traders minds is: have global prices truly recovered or have Fonterra’s reduced offerings skewed things? Tuesday’s Global Dairy Trade auction saw the weighted average for all products climb for the third consecutive session, up 16.5 percent, following a 10.9 percent rise Sept. 1, and a 14.8 percent jump on Aug. 18. The prior 10 events showed declines. Only one product offered lost ground. Buttermilk powder was down 1.9 percent, after it skyrocketed 30 percent in the last event. Leading the gains was whole milk powder, up 20.6 percent, following a 12.1 percent jump last time.

FC Stone’s Dave Kurzawski notes that Fonterra announced a steeper than anticipated 2-3 percent reduction in milk production for the 2015-16 season.

The drop was attributed in part to increased culling by producers seeking better financial returns from

beef sales and the potential impact of El Niño. Fonterra has twice reduced its forecast offered volumes for the GDT auction for the next 12 months due to expected declines in milk production and the shift away from the production of base milk powders.

Kurzawski also reports that EU milk collections for 2015 continue to outstrip last year’s collections. Total EU collections for July are estimated at 13.22 million metric tons, a three percent increase on the same month last year, and seven percent ahead of the three year average. Cumulative milk collections for the year to July stand at 89.67 million metric tons, up one percent on the same point last year.

Meanwhile Cooperatives Working Together accepted seven requests for export assistance this week to sell 315,261 pounds of cheese and 1.1 million pounds of whole milk powder to customers in Asia, the Middle East, Central and South America. The product will be delivered through March 2016 and raised CWT’s 2015 export sales to 44.1 million pounds of cheese, 19.4 million pounds of butter, and 33.8 million pounds of whole milk powder to 33 countries.

■ Chicago Mercantile Exchange cash cheese fell to pressure as traders absorbed Tuesday’s GDT and awaited the Sept. 18 August Milk Production report.

Cash block Cheddar plunged nine cents Wednesday to the lowest level since July 20, but reversed gears Thursday and Friday, closing at $1.6925 per pound, down a quarter-cent on the week and 75.75 cents below a year ago when they made history, peaking at a record high $2.45 per pound. The barrels finished the week at $1.5425, down 4.75 cents, 88.75 cents below a year ago, and an unsustainable 15 cents below the

MARKETING

blocks. Four cars of block and 27 of barrel traded hands on the week.

Recent heat and humidity have reduced milk production in parts of the Midwest according to Dairy Market News. Some processors report being short a few loads of milk to run at full production. Although extra loads of milk are not as readily available as earlier in the summer, cheesemakers are able to buy the occasional load at about $1 over Class. Consumer demand is strong and some cheesemakers note a slight uptick in sales since the Labor Day holiday.

Western cheese output is steady and shifting to natural varieties. Manufacturers report milk intakes are a little lower, but components are beginning to increase and help improve yields. Consumer demand is strong and sales are good for natural cheese. Contacts suggest inventories for barrels are long and several note a little tightness for blocks or at least a willingness by cheese producers to hold some inventories in advance of Fourth Quarter demand, says Dairy Market News.

Highground Dairy’s Eric Meyer said in Friday’s DairyLine it’s too early for the cheese market to fall apart as this tends to be the time of year when cheese demand is stronger while seasonal milk production comes to its low in October. He expects continued price strength but he’s nervous about late Fourth Quarter when prices could set new lows for the year as holiday demand drops off.

■ Cash butter keeps heading higher, closing Friday at $2.7175, highest price since Oct. 10, 2014, up 15.25 cents on the week but still 34.25 cents below a year ago, when it also made history, peaking at the record high $3.06 per pound. Twelve carloads exchanged hands this week at the CME. See MIELKE, pg. 28A

Dairy margins decline sharply; milk futures drop MIELKE, from pg. 26A Butter production is mixed throughout the Central region, says Dairy Market News. Churning is lower in some plants as cream supplies continue tight. But, some manufacturers are producing butter at sufficient levels with comfortable cream supplies and some expect to increase production to meet the high demand for Fourth Quarter.

Western butter makers report adequate cream supplies. The reduction of cream demand for ice cream and the seasonal increase in skim milk bottling has created greater availability of cream for western butter makers. Production is steady or increasing in many plants. Consumer demand is strong.

91 cents per pound, highest price since June 11, up four cents on the week, but 44.5 cents below a year ago.

Five cars found new homes on the week.

Dairy margins deteriorated sharply since the end of August following an increase in feed costs while milk futures dropped to new lows, according to the latest Margin Watch from Chicago-based Commodity & Ingredient Hedging LLC. “Margins through First Quarter are now just above breakeven and close to average over a 10-year historical perspective, while deferred margins in Second and Third Quarter rest at higher historical levels near the 70th percentile,” reported Margin Watch.

■ USDA’s latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report raised the 2015 milk production forecast based on a larger expected cow herd and more rapid growth in milk per cow. The 2016 forecast was unchanged. Production and marketings for 2015 were reported at 208.9 billion pounds and 207.9 billion, respectively, up 100 million pounds from last month’s report.

to strange men but the one who approached her seemed kind.

Thinking quickly, Joan changed her name to Janet Lovelace, lied about her age, and poured out a halffabricated story between her tears. And when the man, Solomon Rosenbach, said he knew of a safe place for her to go, and maybe a job, he changed her life…

I’ll bet it took me 70 pages before I noticed that “The Hired Girl” might be a book for young adults. That’s where you’ll probably find it in bookstores and libraries, but you know what? It won’t matter. You’ll eat this book right up.

How could you not, when this novel is led by a sassy, independent character reminiscent of every classic literary heroine you’ve ever loved? Yes, that’s what author Laura Amy Schlitz brings to these pages in the form of a young girl’s diary and vivid settings that will remind you of Brontë and Dickinson works.

But that lusciousness of word isn’t all you’ll find here. Schlitz also pulls arguments of the day into her story: anti-Irish sentiments, anti-Semitism, class wars, women’s rights, and even a bit of history.

So yes, this is a teen’s novel meant for aged 12-and-up, but it’s one no adult should resist. If you’re looking for the next classic novel to love, “The Hired Girl” is a dream to read.

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

Ever since you were a child, you’ve had dreams to fulfill.

Some of them may have been easy: you wanted to visit a theme park, you hoped for a puppy, you wanted another noschool day. Other dreams, though, were challenging — so much so that maybe they haven’t happened yet. And, as in the new novel “The Hired Girl” by Laura Amy Schlitz, you’ll hang onto them until they do.

Miss Chandler knew that Joan Skraggs was special.

She never said that, exactly, but Joan knew her teacher thought so. Miss Chandler was always pressing new books into Joan’s willing hands, and they conversed like good friends. That meant the world to 14-year-old Joan. It was something she looked forward to very much, until Father said she couldn’t go to school anymore, that she was needed on the farm.

It was 1911, Joan’s mother was dead, and Joan was the cooking-cleaningwasherwoman of the house. She barely had clothes to wear; her father clearly hated her, but she didn’t know how much until the day he did something despicable. And so, Joan ran away.

Once, Miss Chandler had accidentally given Joan a page of newspaper. That’s where Joan saw help-wanted ads for a servant girl who could make $6 a week doing the things Joan did on the farm for free. Being paid for her work seemed like a dream, but she didn’t know where to start. She also didn’t know where she would stay on her first night, which is how she ended up on a Baltimore park bench, sobbing.

She had so many dreams. This wasn’t the way things were supposed to be.

She knew it wasn’t lady-like to speak

Here’s to farm women getting it all done during harvest Fall means long days and short nights, lunches to go, making time and gas count by doing several errands in one trip...

garage, went into the house to make lunches for our guys for the next day and start supper for our harvesting crew for the next night. Everyone got home late, showered the sweat away from the warm day and went to bed, knowing the next day’s work was only a few hours away.

I’m not sure what did it, but I woke up with a start at sunrise that next morning, realizing the groceries I’d picked up that afternoon before were still in the car. I’d forgotten all about

them in my excitement to ride my “few rounds” in the combine with our neighbor. They had been in the warm car all that time.

If they had been items like canned goods or bread, no worries — but you might know, most of it was milk and meat. Everything was warm, with the exception of my husband, who was a little hot under the collar when he discovered that my bad memory was now costing him money.

Good thing I wasn’t a horse with a broken leg. I suppose we could be born a horse in the next life — and you know what that means when it all hits the fan.

You can just forget it.

I’ve already gotten a head start on that one.

ummingbirds, bees and monarch butterflies pollinate a cheerful you-pick zinnia patch at Valley Veggies. The flowers, along with a you-pick herb patch, will be here until it freezes.

Valley Veggies is a roadside market on Scenic Highway 68, just 5.5 miles west of Mankato. Hens, roosters and Chip the rescue dog greet visitors as they browse bushels of winter squash and pumpkins and load up mini straw bales for autumn decorations.

Known for locally grown vegetables that are chemical free and sustainably grown, Valley Veggies is farmed, owned and operated by Terri and John Anderson.

“I’ve never had a year like this before,” said Terri.

“The harvest this year is fantastic.”

A colorful variety of hubbard, cushaw, buttercup, acorn, spaghetti, carnival, delicata, small wonder, butternut and red warty things are harvested and ready to cook and eat. They have cinderella and hulless pumpkins, which are edible meat pumpkins.

The Andersons start their plants in their greenhouse in February-March and altogether plant 15 plus acres to sell. In the spring, they sell starter plants and donate some to community gardens. Last year, they built a new chicken coop and their Black Giant and Araucana hens offer farm fresh eggs.

“We are our own farmers market. We don’t sell anyplace else,” said Terri.

“Our prices are cheaper because they drive out to us,” said John.

A fifth generation farmer, Terri’s roots run deep in the Minnesota River Valley. She is a descendent of Louis Seppmann, who in 1864 built the Seppmann Mill that is located in the nearby Minneopa State Park. In 1929, the Seppmann family donated the mill to the Blue Earth County Historical Society, which deeded it to the state in 1931.

Terri’s parents farmed organically, so the ground has been untouched by chemicals for 35 years. In 1997, the couple started Valley Veggies with their four children by selling vegetables at the end of their driveway.

These days, the kids are grown and so has the operation. The family has about 30 volunteers who get first dibs on produce.

Daughters Amanda Anderson and Rebecca Ehlke still work long and hard at the farm and market. These days, they are picking squash and creating autumn displays that are different every year. This year visitors will find a pumpkin maze. Ehlke, an artist who hand paints all of the charming signs, plays a key role in this autumn showcase.

“Our form of art out here are our displays,” said Terri.

If Amanda is there when you choose your squash, she may share recipes that are “easy, convenient and wholesome.” All of her original recipes are posted on their website.

Valley Veggies is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays-Saturdays and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays May to November weather permitting. Visit www.ValleyVeggiesMN.com to learn more and view the list of vegetables currently available. ❖

The Pulks Wannaska, Minn.

The wheat harvest finish line is in sight for Andy Pulk. When The Land spoke with him on Sept. 11 he was happy to announce that “we will finish today.” The year’s harvest has been a slow process with lots of starts and stops due to the weather.

“It’s been an ongoing battle with moisture,” said Pulk, who noted that the good news is “quality is good, yields are excellent.” With about 10 days until they start harvesting soybeans he’s pleased

the crops “look pretty good.”

The corn is at 75 percent milk line, and the sunflowers are two weeks away from harvest. “My goal is to try to have all the tillage and stuff done by deer hunting season.” That time is closing in, as Pulk said he “did see some frost on the grass this morning.” As for the current crop conditions, he said he’s “very happy” but wishes “prices would rebound some.”

The Lees McIntosh, Minn.

Change was in the air when The Land spoke with Joan Lee on Sept. 10. She was watching the steeple being removed from the church she and her family were once members of in McIntosh.

Salem Lutheran celebrated its 125th anniversary and then decided it was time to close the doors for good. Saying goodbye to a beloved church is hard, she said, but with such a rich history, memories of the church will live on. Change is also evident in

the fields. Lee said she would be “starting to chop corn next week,” estimating it will yield about 120 bushels per acre — “nothing fantastic but still pretty good for us.” The soybeans are starting to turn, and she said it will be a couple of weeks until harvest. “It’s been a good growing season,” said Lee. “For the most part we got moisture when we needed it. Hopefully the yields will be strong.”

The Haarstads Rothsay, Minn.

Soybean harvest is almost here for John Haarstad and it’s earlier than usual this year.

“I’ll probably be harvesting by the end of next week,” he told The Land on Sept. 10. The beans are “maturing ahead of schedule,” said Haarstad, about two weeks earlier than average. The corn is drying down, too, he added; there will be “some black

layered by the end of next week.” He says he’s “shooting for average” for corn yields this year.

With little rain since early August the ground is “pretty dry now,” which has made tillage easier.

“The bean crop is going to be better than we’re thinking,” said Haarstad. “Things are pretty much ready to go.”

The Froemmings Garfield, Minn.

“Things are going good now that we got rid of the high humidity,” Rodney Froemming told The Land on Sept. 10.

The break in the high humidity that day allowed him to finish cutting third-crop hay. The soybeans are turning yellow and have lost most of their leaves, said Froemming, who believes that he’ll be combining

in another week to week and a half. The corn “is starting to dry back,” he said. Besides getting ready for his own bean harvest, Froemming will also do some custom combining. Once bean harvest is complete, he plans on switching gears immediately and jumping into harvesting corn. The crops right now look “pretty good,” said Froemming. “Overall, we’re a week ahead of normal.”

Meanwhile, “The corn is The Filzens starting to look like it’s drying Renville, Minn. down (and is) maturing The navy bean harvest was complete on the rapidly,” he said.

The Pagels Winthrop, Minn.

Kidney bean harvest is “about half-way done,” for Delayne Pagel. He was feeling good about the kidney harvest thus far, when The Land spoke with Pagel on Sept. 18. “I think they’re doing good, yield-wise.” After kidney bean harvest he’ll focus on “getting the dryers going” and working on the combine. Pagel’s soybeans are The Heusinkvelds Wykoff, Minn.

Fourth crop hay harvest is complete for Nate Heusinkveld; he told The Land on Sept. 18 that it “still yielded good” and he was happy with the results. Heusinkveld is now half-way done with corn silage harvest, having started combining Sept. 13. He said his cows have been enjoying the less-humid weather that arrived as much as he has. The windy, hot conditions of the previous week “really dried down” the corn. So far,

turning and should be ready to combine in about two to three weeks. The corn may actually beat the beans to harvest, though. “I’m thinking about combining some corn before soybeans.” Pagel expects some of his corn to be ready for harvest in a few weeks. While he is hopeful for good yields this harvest, “I don’t know if the corn will be as good as they say it is,” said Pagel. “Time will tell.”

Heusinkveld’s crops are ahead of schedule. “I think it’s going to be an early fall the way the crops are progressing,” he said.

When The Land spoke with Nathan planning on having to dry any Thorpe on Sept. 18 he was anticipating beginning corn as the forecast calls for bean harvest the very next day. The weather “very favorable harvest helped push the beans — “the hot wind really weather.” Thorpe’s “favorite season of the year” brought things along faster.” Thorpe expects it has arrived, and he couldn’t be happier to get in will take two week to finish bean harvest.

Light but persistent rain continues to fall on Harlan Marble’s farm. “We’ve had four days of drizzle,” he told The Land on Sept. 18. All that rain resulted in “two rivers that are out of their banks.” The rain has also delayed soybean harvest; Marble has two fields ready for harvest once they dry out. The corn is “great, everything The Kemps Sibley, Iowa Soybean harvest is just around the corner for Brian Kemp. The Land spoke with Kemp on Sept.

18 as he was hoping for cooperative weather that would let him start combining the next week.

Such a start would make this year’s harvest right on time. “The corn looks good,” said Kemp, although he’s “a little less optimistic than I was earlier in the summer.” He’s seeing “real variability in ear size” and expects “a decent corn

Once harvest begins, however, Marble will be ready to go with his post-surgery wrist as he’s now “able to do just about everything.” He’s also thinking positively about harvest: “We’re looking at a bumper crop.”

With harvest equipment “pretty much ready to go” and the forecast for next week looking good, it’s almost “go-time” for Kemp.

Pumpkinland offers farm fun, autumn scenery

By RENAE B. VANDER SCHAAF The Land Correspondent ORANGE CITY, Iowa — A piece of paper written in pencil records the first sales of pumpkins 26 years ago by the children of Dave and Helen Huitink.

“We never planned this,” said Helen. “It was just a display of pumpkins with a scarecrow that began this pumpkinland experience.”

Since then their Orange City farm has become a destination for families, college students and travelers. Each fall thousands of visitors will come to the farm for many reasons.

“There are times I look out my window and see scores of people walking around,” said Helen. “I ask myself what is the draw, why do they enjoy it here so much?”

People enjoy that it is an authentic farm. The Huitinks grow corn and soybeans and raise a sheep flock. They also have a mini-zoo of farm animals, kittens, goats, llama or alpacas, a hen with baby chickens, ducks, geese, a pony and peacocks.

Harvest market The shed, built in 1996, gives visitors a mini mall experience with crafts from local vendors — old favorites such as handmade soaps and new ideas, some whimsical, some practical. In a hurry or hungry, a table filled with baked treats such as cookies and pies by two local bakers tempt anyone. Last year over 2,000 decorated pumpkin-cutout cookies went out the door.

Pumpkinland has their own private label on a variety of jam, jellies, syrups, caramel corn, kettle corn and, of course, pumpkin seeds.

Below: In addition to its seven-acre “Dutch Village” corn maze, Pumpkinland also offers a smaller maze for younger children.

For additional photos, visit www.TheLandOnline.com.

“People do come for pumpkins and squash, too,” said Helen. “My favorite is the spaghetti squash, you just got to try this recipe.” (See the Spaghetti Squash Alfredo recipe at right.)

“No calories, at all,” said Phyllis De Haan, one of their valued employees.

“My favorite is the plain old butternut squash,” said Dave Huitink. “I really do like that old fashioned Thanksgiving dinner.”

Shoppers choose from 30 varieties of winter squash.

Altogether, the Huitinks have 101 different kinds of pumpkin, squash and gourds growing on their farm.

Corn maze “The corn maze theme is Dutch Village,” said Helen. “Our daughter Sherry Lang drew it out using five Dutch buildings from Orange City. We wanted to do something local; she did a fantastic job.”

Sherry’s husband Chris is instrumental in helping cut the maze, along with the Huitinks’ three children.

Huitink’s son Darren is the No. 1 person in charge of making sure the maze design gets cut out correctly.

Dave does the mowing following Darren’s directions.

Hidden in the seven acre corn maze are six stations each with a paper punch so visitors can mark that the station has been found. The maze takes about an hour to walk.

“If every trail was walked,” said Dave. “It would be close to a two-mile walk.”

A smaller maze in the shape of a tulip is free for younger children.

Experience From the start Pumpkinland has offered school tours.

Over 60 schools will come to their schoolhouse building to learn a bit about pumpkins. The demonstrations are See PUMPKINLAND, pg. 5B

Spaghetti Squash Alfredo Scoop out and discard seeds from a four-pound spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise. Prick outsides all over with a sharp knife; season insides with 1⁄4 tsp. each salt and pepper.

Microwave, cut sides down, on large microwave-safe plate on high 10 minutes or until tender. Meanwhile, in small saucepan, heat 1 cup half-and-half and 3 Tbsp. butter to simmering on medium-low; simmer 5 minutes or until reduced slightly, then whisk in 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese. With fork, scrape flesh of each squash half to separate into strands, leaving 1⁄2-inch border on sides; divide sauce among halves and top each with 2 Tbsp. shredded mozzarella cheese. Broil 1 to 2 minutes or until bubbly and browned in spots.

“One thing I especially like to see,” said Dave, “is that on weekdays, moms will come out with their children. While the children are playing at the playground, moms are visiting with each other. They are just enjoying a fall day together.”

“Or we see families looking a bit hurried,” said Helen. “They take a wagon out to the patch, fill it up with pumpkins and come back smiling. It is a family tradition for many, they are creating good memories.”

Saturdays are especially busy, with special events planned. BG’s Cakes N More from Hawarden, Iowa, opens her food mobile.

“Funnel cakes are a big thing,” said Helen. “She deep fat fries Oreo cookies and Twinkies. They are so good. She plans to offer hot sandwiches this year.”

He will be at Pumpkinland on Saturdays only, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., through Oct. 10.

There are plenty of photo opportunities for families, inside and outside. Most have been designed, painted and made by daughter Sherry Lang.

“The best part is the people,” said Helen. “I enjoy who I get to work with here. And the customers.
