OPINION

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. 18 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.

THE LAND, OCTOBER 2, 2015

To the Editor: I am glad to know that State Senator Dan Sparks wants to see the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens’ Board restored but his voting record doesn’t indicate that he did anything to try and keep it from being abolished.

1. In Conference Committee on the Agricultural 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

dies for federal crop insurance programs, and the like.

It’s a gap highlighted by the growing political power on one side, Big Agbiz, and growing purchasing power on the other side, the explosive rise of organic and “natural” food sales over the last 15 years.

Indeed, this gap is clearly seen in two recent newsmaking events, Farm Aid’s 30th concert on Chicago’s lakefront and a New York Times front page story that detailed how the “Food Industry Enlisted Academics in G.M.O. Lobbying War” to influence U.S. farm and food policy over the actions of consumers, voters, and Congress.

In one, Farm Aid, the music, food, and camaraderie was spectacular. The other, the Times story and its extensive documentation on how Big Ag used very willing Land Grant professionals to promote commercial products widely distrusted by the public, was equally spectacular.

One is heartwarming and people-centered; the other is chilling and profit-centered. Taken together they showcase the widening gap between food and farming and how many in American agriculture appear more ready to expand it than bridge it.

“Usually we manage aphids really well,” said Naeve. “This year they kind of hung on and we had late season infestation after farms quit scouting and those will hurt.”

Iowa soybean production is forecast at 526 million bushels. If realized, this would surpass the record 525 million bushels of 2005. The forecast yield is 53 bu./acre to surpass the 2005 soybean yield record by 0.5 bushel.

Jeffrey Coulter, University of Minnesota Extension agronomist, specializes in corn production and profitability.

“The biggest thing coming out of the yield report is that it’s one of the best years of all time in Minnesota,” said Coulter.

Mother Nature played a starring role.

“We’ve had fairly good soil moisture levels with regards to timely precipitation,” said Coulter. “The temps have been on the cooler side which has limited moisture use by the crop and limited stress on dry areas.”

He added that nitrogen supply and use was good as were conditions during pollination. Field conditions are favorable for a timely harvest.

“It looks like there will be plenty of time to get the work done,” said Coulter.

Iowa corn production is forecast at 2.41 billion bushels, which if realized will tie 2004 and 2009 as

Road funding, property tax revision critical across 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.

“It’s a state and a federal issue,” said Wertish, who noted that while Congress in July voted a few Gary Wertish months’ extension on the Federal Transportation Bill, “That’s mostly just kicking the can down the road without anything being done.”

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.

More funding seems the only logical kickstart to upgrading our transportation structure.

“The problem anymore is the continuous gridlock in Congress,” said Wertish. “It seems we can’t sit down and put everything on the table and see what works. Partisan bickering seems to put the strangle hold on this Congress.”

He acknowledged the gas tax funding for transportation is a user tax.

“But the reality is we continue to fund our transportation road tax system with taxes dating back to when gasoline was $1 a gallon; diesel was perhaps $1.50,” he said. “That arithmetic just doesn’t work anymore.”

His point being that if Congress is not willing to raise the gas tax, which has been at 18.4 cents for several years, then we simply have to figure out another way.

“We support a modest increase in gas taxes because it’s fair and there really is no other way to solve this growing national dilemma,” Wertish said.

“Minnesota has a formula for distribution of gas tax revenues which gives a fair share to rural areas despite the lesser populations.”

Wertish again criticizes the lack of action in Washington, D.C. “They really haven’t done anything since President Eisenhower signed the bill that launched our Federal Interstate System,” he said.

Property taxes At the state level he said a rewriting of the property tax rules for rural Minnesota is a high priority.

“Right now landowners carry an unfair burden of the costs of education. We’re struggling to keep small businesses going in outstate areas,” he said. “Land has value so it seems that is the quick and easy source of additional tax revenue for local school districts. The state needs to pick up its share so that landowners are not overly burdened.”

Water quality Water quality issues continue to be a major topic for all. Wertish dismisses the question if there ever will be common sense across the board so that fair-

We support a modest increase in gas taxes because it’s fair...

— Gary Wertish ness is transparent to any and all.

“We did come together on the buffer bill thanks to lots of collaboration amongst many farm and conservation groups. Establishing accurate mapping for these hundreds of miles of drainage ditches and meandering streams will be an ongoing hassle,” he said.

“The 16-and-a-half foot strip for drainage ditches has been in the books for some years. Most farmers are aware of it. But enforcement has become such a challenge and with all the redeterminations underway, it likely will take considerable time before this is completed. But we’ve speeded the process. Time will tell if solutions and improvements are forthcoming.

“Complaints will continue regardless the wording of the law. Unfortunately courts will be the final determiner on some of these water issues.”

Wertish is very complimentary about the land stewardship work being done by most farmers, which can be seen in their farming practices.

“We’ve changed how we till our soils, when and how we apply fertilizer and pesticides, even harvesting patterns to minimize soil packing,” he said. “With livestock farmers, there’s more strategy about when and where to apply manure.”

He notes one thing happening that presents new challenges — more big weather events with exceptional rainfall and longer periods of intense wind leading to more soil erosion.

“It’s pretty hard to stop erosion when you get a sixinch downpour. Natural sloughing of stream banks always keeps happening,” he said. “These sudden and intense thunder storms simply accelerate that action.”

Harvest Wertish said he is encouraged by the mostly positive comments by farmers about the 2015 season.

Wertish acknowledged net farm income will be down for all. But probably less for the grains farmers than originally projected with corn prices somewhat strengthening, even in the face of record yields.

“The good yield prospects have somewhat taken the edge off the low price pain many were visualizing. A farmer this morning told me he thinks he’ll have whole-farm yields of 200-plus bushels per acre on his corn crop yet he’ll still be losing money,” he said. “So it varies from farmer to farmer.”

Wertish farms in Renville County. Like most farmers he admits his combine monitor tweaks the 250bushel yield occasionally and this year that should happen more often.

Gary Wertish was interviewed at the Minnesota State Fair. ❖

Iowa farmer reaping benefits of Aronia berries

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 researched for two years, asking many questions of those with experience in growing Aronias.

He learned Aronia berries are native to the See ARONIA, pg. 9

‘Poor’ soil perfect for berries ARONIA, from pg. 8 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.”

The land on the very west edge of Sioux County, is bordered by the Rock River on the north side where it soon flows into the Big Sioux River. A very busy highway is its south and west border. It is on this land that the Vander Werfs have built their home and planted 20 acres to the Aronia berry.

Their farm is strategically situated for the family’s off-farm employment. Vander Werf has a full-time job

at Dordt College in Sioux Center. His wife, Becky, teaches at Sioux Center Christian School. Their daughter Sarah is enrolled in Sioux Center Community Schools. Older children Abby and Jonathan attend Hull Western Christian High School in nearby Hull.

Aronias added a new and different dimension to their lives.

“This is definitely a family project,” he said. “We couldn’t do it without each of us working on it. There is weeding, mowing and harvesting. Soon the plants will need pruning to manage height. We all enjoy being outside working together.”

Market Vander Werf chose the Galicjanka variety because of its reputation for ripening more evenly. The bushes withstand the cold temperatures, growing well in zones 3-8, they grow six to eight feet tall, spreading five to eight feet.

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. Visit http://agrisummit.org for details. ❖

ARONIA, from pg. 9 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 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 70-member 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.

In 2014, Winehaven Winery sold about 60,000 bottles from its fourth generation family farm. Kyle Peterson was interviewed at the Minnesota State Fair. Visit www.winehaven.com for more information. ❖

THE LAND, OCTOBER 2, 2015 << www.TheLandOnline.com >> “Where Farm and Family Meet”

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 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 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.”

Peterson is matter-of-fact about Minnesota grape growers and winemakers competing in this national market against the biggies — California, New York and Michigan.

“I do think our Minnesota wine business is in its infancy. My wife’s family is from Germany, where she was born. I’ve gotten to know some of these German winemakers over the years on our visits to Germany.

Those vineyards started in the 1600s and 1700s,” he said. “I brought one of our bottles of wine as gift to German winemaker. He asked me when my winery

Minnesota preps 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 Bill Hartmann, BAH executive 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.

break 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 farms. During the spring outbreak, Steve Olson 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 poultrytesting 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.

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 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 veteri-

“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 bio-security 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.

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. ❖

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.

THE LAND, OCTOBER 2, 2015

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.

Visitors fill their cars with treasures GARFIELD, from pg. 13 “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 include a hidden object that is not listed on the map.

“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.”

Family business To say life is busy at the Kooima house would be expected for parents of five children ages 1-13. Now add farming and Mark’s job as an agronomist at the recently merged CFE Cooperative Farmers Elevator.

They also sell 1.5 acres of sweet corn and a full array of vegetables at two local towns.

School days are spent at Hull Protestant Reformed School for the older children. Then there’s canning and freezing food for the family’s winter use.

For Pumpkins on Garfield, Nancy has been freezing apple pies and making saucesjes, the Dutch form of pigs in a blanket. The seasoned sausages are wrapped in a blanket of dough. 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 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.

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.

“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 below.)

“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.”

Seven-acre ‘Dutch Village’ corn maze takes hour to walk PUMPKINLAND, from pg. 15 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 geared for different ages. The instructor ends each tour by popping an ear of corn.

“So many kids don’t know much about where their food comes from,” said Dave. “It is fascinating to them to see popcorn popped from an ear of corn.”

The popcorn harvest last year was huge; much of it is sold there on-site.

Local businesses often plan outings for their employees’ families. A trip to Pumpkinland is also a popular event for church youth groups and Bible Studies. They can use the schoolhouse or one of two fire pits the Huitinks have available.

“One thing I especially like to see,” said Dave, “is

“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.

Some I only see once a year, when they come to Pumpkinland. I love to visit with them all.”

Thank you notes come to the Huitinks. Often the sender will say “You have been a blessing.”

“I hear employees and customers say ‘what a beautiful sunset; you never see that in town,’ they will add,” said Dave. “Perhaps there are things about farm life we take for granted. Our visitors remind us of those.”

Grain Outlook Combine pace accelerating

Livestock Angles Cattle prices falling

Grain Angles Technical or fundamental?

The following market analysis is for the week ending Sept. 25.

CORN — Corn began the week on a strong technical note with a key reversal higher and finished the week with a surge higher that accounted for the majority of the week’s rally.

December corn closed out the week at $3.89 per bushel, up 11 3⁄4 cents. The July corn contract was up 11 cents for the week at $4.12 3⁄4 per bushel. Despite the push higher, December corn remained in the $3.95 to $3.60 range it has maintained since the Aug. 12 crop report. Harvest weather looks favorable for the PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. week of Sept. 28 with combines St. Paul accelerating their pace. Drying costs, or income depending on which side of the spout you are on, are evaporating quickly.

Yield reports around the Corn Belt are varied, but expectations are for a lower average U.S. yield on the Oct. 9 crop report. Harvest as of Sept. 20 was 10 percent complete versus 15 percent on average.

Corn conditions were unchanged at 68 percent good/excellent for the fourth consecutive week. Conditions have not fallen below 68 percent good/excellent this entire crop year.

Federal Reserve Chairman Janet Yellen hinted that interest rates may yet see an increase in this calendar year. This could be supportive to the U.S. dollar and a negative for commodity prices in general. However, any increase is yet to be announced and may have already been factored into price forecasts.

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 futures. KURT LENSING AgStar Assistant VP You may have heard lately and Industry Specialist about technical analysis which is: Waite Park, Minn. 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. 18 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. ❖

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

LENSING, from pg. 18 it’s extremely important if we want to get a better understanding of price movements.

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.

If a farmer is looking to expand on his or her marketing or risk management understanding, learning some basic technical analysis indicators will help better identify opportunities to sell grain. Major

47.8 bu./acre last year. Soybean ratings regained the two percent they lost the previous week, returning to 63 percent good/excellent as of Sept. 20.

OUTLOOK: The next big report will be Sept. 30 with the release of the Grain Stocks as of Sept. 1 report, which coincides as usual with month and quarter end. The average trade guess for the report is 205 million bushels. On the September crop report, the USDA was posting 210 million bushels in inventory as of the end of the crop year, so no big surprises are expected on this report. The November soybean first support level is the contact low of $8.53 1⁄4 per bushel with first resistance at $8.94 1⁄2 per bushel.

Early yield reports have been as expected or better.

The latest USDA yield forecast was 47.1 bu./acre and, based on reports, we could possibly see an increase in that number. We have just started harvest, the world is well supplied, South America is expected to increase acres, and U.S. growers are undersold. This sets the table for a lower outlook ($8.25 under the microscope?) until we get further along in harvest.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending Sept. 25: December Chicago wheat rallied 21 cents, Kansas City gained 18 cents, and Minneapolis was up 11 3⁄4 cents. November crude oil was 68 cents higher for the week at $45.70, ultra-low-sulfur diesel moved 3 1⁄4 cents higher, reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending rose just over four cents and natural gas fell 4 1⁄2 cents. ❖

the current marketing year. Another 553 tmt of soybeans were sold to “unknown” during the week. U.S. soybeans are competitive with South American origin. So far, China has bought 7.3 mmt of U.S. beans for the 2015-16 crop year compared to 16.3 mmt last year at this time.

A supportive factor to U.S. prices came as the week ended when the Brazilian government stated “all instruments are available for the central bank” to support the Real. Brazilian farmers have been experiencing excellent prices, and rewarding the market with selling, due to the weakness of their currency versus the U.S. dollar. The Real fell to an all-time high near 4.25 versus the U.S. dollar during the week. Soybean planting is just beginning in Brazil, but acreage is projected to rise by three percent year-to-year and production may exceed the 100 mmt level. It has been dry in northern Brazil, limiting early planting.

The USDA will try again on Oct. 1 to release the first U.S.-wide official oilseed crush report. This report was halted four years ago due to budget cuts. It was supposed to be reinstated in August, but a poor industry response for data pushed the release to October.

The October report will include data from May through August. Weekly export sales were better than expected at 48.4 million bushels. Total export commitments are down 35 percent from last year when the USDA balance sheet shows a six percent decline in exports year on year. U.S. sales to China stand at 7.3 mmt, down from 16.3 mmt on the books last year at this juncture. This does not include this week’s Chinese purchases. U.S. sales need to average a strong 21.9 million bushels per week to achieve the 1.725 billion bushel export forecast. Last year, U.S. bean exports averaged 17 million bushels per week from this point to the end of the marketing year.

Soybean harvest as of Sept. 20 was at the average of seven percent complete. Fifty-six percent of the crop was dropping leaves versus 50 percent average. Yield reports are amazing with a whisper of a monitor hitting 100 bushels per acre in Illinois. In general, even if corn yields in an area have been disappointing, the soybean yield has not. Could we see another increase in the average yield on the Oct. 9 report? The USDA is currently carrying the yield at 47.1 bu./acre versus

NYSTROM, from pg. 18 Export sales were less than expected at 16.8 million bushels.

Total sales are 30 percent behind last year. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s outlook projects just a 1.3 percent decline in year-on-year exports. Sales will need to average a solid 30.8 million bushels per week to hit the 1.85-billion-bushel export projection.

Last year, exports averaged just 27.1 million bushels per week from now through the crop year. Mexico stepped in this week to book 488 tmt of U.S. corn which gave the corn market its strong start on Monday. China’s corn imports in August at 607,000 mt were up an astounding 354 percent from a year ago with Ukraine supplying 445 tmt of the total. Weekly ethanol production fell 23,000 barrels per day to 938,000 bpd. Ethanol stocks were up 609,000 barrels to 18.9 million barrels.

OUTLOOK: The average trade estimate for the Sept. 30 release of the Grain Stocks as of Sept. 1 is 1.739 billion bushels. The USDA’s number on the September monthly crop report was 1.732 billion bushels. The next USDA balance sheets will be published Oct. 9 at 11 a.m. Central. The short-term range for December corn is $3.75/$3.65 to $3.90/$3.95 per bushel; however, with so much of harvest still ahead of us, a retreat to the $3.50 area is plausible. Yield reports are improving as more of the crop is harvested, but a cut in the average yield is anticipated on the October update and may be already accounted for in the current price level.

SOYBEANS — November soybeans pushed 22 cents higher for the week to close at $8.89 1⁄4 per bushel, with 21 1⁄4 cents of that rally occurring on Friday. This was the highest weekly close in over a month. July soybeans were up 21 cents to settle at $9.03 3⁄4 per bushel. November soybeans next upside target is $8.94 1⁄2 per bushel, the double top from mid-September.

China signed a bigger-than-expected “frame” contract this week to buy 13.2 mmt of U.S. soybeans over the next two years. No basis level, futures price, or delivery time is associated with the contract, so in essence it’s a political gesture. That said, China did buy a total of 544.5 tmt of U.S. beans this week for

Bottling demand levels as school pipelines filled system expired, many farmers expanded herd sizes. The increased production led to historic lows in farm prices and while they have many farmers protesting, they have no plans to slow down production, according to Dairy Market News.

Dairy Market News says Australia has been fairly dry after a cool, dry winter. Farmers are hoping for favorable conditions as spring approaches.

With the low farm level prices, farmers are in need of optimal grass growth, but the current cold, wet weather seems to have put a damper on this.

Milk production is up from year ago levels. Even with the low prices, output does not seem to be slowing down.

New Zealand’s milk output forecast is lower, which is pushing up the market.

Some sources suggest production is slowing as cold, wet weather has affected cow comfort. Cow culling is increasing but has not affected production rates and early calving seems to be aiding in this, says Dairy Market News.

New Zealand’s Fonterra Cooperative

lifted its forecast total available for payout for the 2015-16 season to $5.00-$5.10 kgMS due to an increase in the forecast Farmgate Milk Price of 75 cents. Farmer shareholders have also been able to apply to receive a loan of an additional 50 cents per sharebacked kilogram of milk solids for production through to December.

MIELKE, from pg. 22 west, New Mexico, Pacific Northwest, and rainy weather in Arizona and New Mexico are adversely affecting cow comfort and prolonging harvest of crops.

Bottling demand is leveling as school pipelines are filled. Spot milk loads are less available. Manufacturers note the decline in milk supplies but are comfortable at current levels. Ice cream and other cream based products are pulling less cream and making supplies available, even with the declines in milk and components.

Dairy cow culling dropped in August, according to USDA’s latest Livestock Slaughter report. An estimated 225,400 dairy cows were slaughtered under Federal inspection, down 13,200 from July and 3,100 less than August 2014.

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.

records.” With corn moisture currently between 28 to 30 percent, Pulk would ideally like to see that drop six to eight percent before he combines. He expects he’ll be harvesting corn in 10 to 15 days. Pulk suspects that “wheat is going to be the highlight of our year.” Many long days and nights in the combine await, but pleasant harvest conditions will make the job a heck of a lot easier.

The Lees McIntosh, Minn.

The soybeans are ready to combine but Joan Lee’s focus has been to get corn chopping done.

The Land spoke to Lee on Sept. 24 as the corn chopping had just wrapped up, and there’s “some left to combine.” Once bean harvest begins, Lee expects that it will take four to five days to complete harvest. As for the corn, “it will be a while before the rest of it is ready to combine.”

The Haarstads Rothsay, Minn.

John Haarstad took advantage of good conditions and got his soybean harvest completed in nine straight days. When The Land spoke to Haarstad on Sept. 24, he was happy to report that bean harvest was complete in record time. “The beans were good; a lot better than I thought.” Now thoughts turn to corn. “We’re black layered,”

Haarstad said. He was going to put the corn head on and try to combine some corn on the 24th.

While that’s historically early for Haarstad, it’s “not that early in terms of recent memory.” If the corn isn’t ready then he’ll go get some tiling done.

He said the forecast called for “pretty nice weather for the next week and a half.” Whether it’s corn harvest or tile projects, Haarstad has some good weather ahead to get the job done.

Some soybean harvests are good; some are so bad that it hurts. This year’s crop for Rodney Froemming was neither of those — it was great.

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

crops are ahead of schedule.

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

bushels.” Some beans were yielding 60 bushels per acre. What made this year’s beans yield so well for Froemming? It was a combination of “decent heat, good moisture,” he said. Once Froemming completes his bean harvest he’ll start some soybean custom combine work. He predicts that corn will be “an exceptional crop.” Things are shaping up to be an excellent harvest on the Froemming farm.

fall. “When we get done with The Thorpes beans, we’ll roll right into Canby, Minn. corn,” Thorpe said. He isn’t Harvest season is about to commence on the planning on having to dry any Thorpe farm. When The Land spoke with Nathan corn as the forecast calls for Thorpe on Sept. 18 he was anticipating beginning “very favorable harvest bean harvest the very next day. The weather helped weather.” Thorpe’s “favorite push the beans — “the hot wind really brought things along faster.” Thorpe expects it will take two season of the year” has arrived, and he couldn’t be week to finish bean harvest. Meanwhile, “The corn happier to get in his combine and start rolling. is really advancing fast; the husks are brown.”

There will be no breaks between combining this The Marbles Mapleton, Minn.

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 is

still standing well; hot nights are pushing corn in a hurry.” He said the 100-day corn instantly started to dry down and husks opened up right at 100 days. Although the crops are maturing, “it does not look good” to get in the fields soon. 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.”

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 crop, not a

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

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

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 lesshumid weather that arrived as much as he has.

The windy, hot conditions of the previous week “really dried down” the corn. So far, Heusinkveld’s

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.”

The Pulks Wannaska, Minn.

The yields may not be spectacular but at least Andy Pulk is experiencing “beautiful conditions” for harvest. He was “just about done with my soybeans” when The Land spoke with Pulk on Sept. 25; the yield was “average to below average.” Meanwhile, the sunflowers won’t be harvested for another 10 to 12 days. He’s optimistic about good corn yields — “There’s 40 acres of corn that might be close to one of my

ummingbirds, bees and monarch butterflies visit 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. ❖
