OPINION

Letter: Farmers must work together To the Editor: If you live in the upper Midwest you have probably heard that there is a huge crop being harvested. But the headlines do not tell the whole story. Yes, I will admit that physically there will be a big crop, but it is not in the bin yet.

The farmers have done a good job, as they always do — they purchased the right inputs, applied them at the right time, at the proper rates. God did his part as well; most of the Midwest had sunshine and rain at the right time in a healthy balance for crop development.

There are many reasons why a person farms, perhaps they are born into it, they may like to be outside, they do not like time clocks, etc. Certainly among the reasons that people farm would be to make a living, to feed and provide for their loved ones.

That is where the crop failure part comes into play.

After making scheduled payments, and paying for

crop input costs, most farmers will not have money left to provide family living expense.

The bushels will be there, but the dollars will not.

To a large extent, this is due to farmer’s lack of discipline in marketing and their failure to work together.

Many businesses know their cost of production and they know what they want for profit. When they market their goods and services they know what price level they need to attain this, this price is paid before the goods or services change hands. Too often farmers go to the marketplace and say “what will you give me?” Obviously that will not work this year.

If farmers would work together and use collective bargaining they could make this a bumper crop. God has done His part; will farmers work together to finish the job as breadwinners for their families?

Mark Rohr Bluffton, Minn.

To the Editor: I see that a recent letter-writer is upset that the Pollution Control Citizens’ Board was disbanded. I, too, am pretty upset about it. But the blame needs to go where it belongs. DFL State Senate Majority Leader Tom Bakk is the reason we no longer have a Citizens’ Board.

If you will remember, we didn’t get the minimum wage raised until Sen. Bakk got his office building. And it’s

been downhill since then. Gov. Dayton has expressed several times that Bakk was working against him. At the end of the legislative session, Bakk sold out the DFL party on several issues. One was the Citizens’ Board.

What really upsets me is that Sen. Bakk has not been removed from his leadership position.

Tommy Stiles Henning, Minn.

Cover story:

Texel sheep bring ‘remarkable’ muscle to the table

By TIM KING The Land Correspondent CALEDONIA, Minn. — Texels are a white-faced breed of heavily muscled sheep that originated in the Netherlands. British shepherds became interested in the breed and started importing them in the early 1970s. The first Texels came to the United States in 1985. Those original U.S. Texels were imported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Meat Animal Research Center at Clay Center, Neb. “The Texel is now the dominant terminal sire in the United Kingdom,” said Charlie Wray, who raises purebred Texels near Caledonia in southeastern Minnesota. “When you think of the U.K. you think about people that know how to raise sheep with good production traits and carcass quality.”

Wray and his wife, Deb, started raising sheep at their Portland Prairie Texels farm in 1988.

“We have always been focused on production,” Wray said. “Type is a great thing to come along with it but you have to have production first.”

In the early ’90s they became aware of the Texels and the research being done with the breed at the Meat Animal Research Center. They were impressed with the carcass quality of the breed.

“The most outstanding feature of the Texel breed is its remarkable muscle development and leanSee TEXELS, pg. 6A

The white-faced Texel sheep breed are known for their muscle development and leanness.

Wray: ‘Texel lambs just got up and went to town’ TEXELS, from pg. 4A ness,” according to the Texel Sheep Breeders Society website. “Research articles archived at the Texel Sheep Breeders Society show that Texel sired lambs have larger loin eye area and more tender loin eyes than Suffolk sired crossbred lambs.”

The Texel also develops less total carcass fat, and most of that fat is trimmable rather than embedded between the muscles. The result is a lean and deliciously flavored product, said Wray.

“Texels also have larger leg scores,” he said. “Another one of the research results was that crossbred lambs from a Texel sire have about 10 percent

increased survivability as compared to Suffolk crosses. The Texel lambs just got up and went to town.”

After studying the research the Wrays became convinced that Texels were for them so, in 1998, they imported semen from four rams in the Netherlands.

“I also liked them because they do well on grass,” Wray said. “I like turning grass into meat. Our sheep are on rotationally grazed pasture from May until mid- to late-November and then we feed hay until we lamb in February and March.”

The Wrays have imported semen from eight more rams from the United Kingdom starting in 2003.

“Our selection criteria have always been based on productivity. The Estimated Breeding Values must be high for loin depth and weight gain,” said Wray, who is also a large animal veterinarian.

EBVs are an index of heritable traits that are measured and then used to improve on-farm productivity and enhance breeding decisions, according to Wray.

“I use the productivity statistics to base my selection and culling decisions on,” he said.

The Wrays are selecting for traits that will continue to improve upon the Texel rams’ already top quality traits as a terminal sire.

Texel rams, when crossed with a prolific ewe with good maternal qualities, will pass on the meat and carcass quality genetics of the breed.

“The Polypay or Kathadin, for example, are excellent maternal breeds,” said Wray. “They are prolific and milk well and bring multiple lambs to market. These breeds are a natural fit for using a Texel ram as a terminal sire on the bottom 80 percent of your ewes.

Multiple-birth commercial ewes don’t have undue lambing issues when using a heavily muscled Texel ram.

The resulting lambs are improved in all the carcass traits that keep farmers markets customers and the ethnic buyer coming back for more.”

To continue to improve their Texel flock, the Wrays select for production values such as loin eye size and growth rate first, but functional type traits are also important.

“They have to have good feet and legs

According to Charlie Wray, Texels do an excellent job of turning grass into meat.

to get around to do the job and to breed,” Wray said. “In ewes a good sized pelvis for the ease in lambing is also an important functional type trait. An animal that might do well in the show ring might have a tight pelvis that will make problems down the line.

Since our Texel flock is on pasture from May until mid-November, and on hay until they lamb in the spring, functional type includes body capacity and body depth as well.”

There’s still some corn to harvest, but “we don’t have that much to do; maybe 30 acres to combine.” Lee’s husband, Mark, has been hauling out some of the manure The Froemmings Garfield, Minn.

Corn harvest has begun for Rodney Froemming. “Looks like a good yield,” Froemming reported when speaking with The Land on Oct. 9. “We’ve only got about 300 acres of corn,” he said, and expected to finish it in a week.

They’re at least 10 days ahead of their average harvest date. The corn is currently at 21 percent

moisture. Froemming expected to be wrapping up soybeans the weekend of Oct. 10-11. A little rain on Oct. 7 caused an unplanned pause in the bean harvest. “Not a good drying day today” due to the cloudy conditions, he said, but the weekend looked great to finish things up. Even with the little rain, “Harvest is fun when the weather is this nice.”

The Filzens Renville, Minn.

“Soybeans are done.” Dale Filzen spoke with The Land on Oct. 9 and was happy to report that the bean yields were “better than expected.” He finished combining beans more than a week earlier. Filzen started combining corn on Oct. 1 or Oct. 2 — he said the days seem to roll all together for him at this point in harvest. The corn is “good” and he “had some earlier corn that was 16 or 17 percent.” Filzen estimated that he’s

“about 50 percent done with corn.” Meanwhile, the sugar beets “are getting lifted as we speak.” Filzen has his beets custom harvested.

There’s been “no rain delays, no heat delays. Beet harvest is about as smooth as we’ll ever see it,” he said, and hoped everything would be wrapped up by the weekend. Filzen expects to be finished with corn harvest by the end of next week.

The Thorpes Canby, Minn.

Three hours was all that was left of the 2015 harvest for Nathan Thorpe when The Land spoke with him on Oct. 19. He was about to wrap up corn harvest. “It’s been very good; couldn’t ask for better harvest weather,” he said. As for the crop itself? “It’s an excellent corn crop; it’s a bin buster,” Thorpe said. It gets better. The corn was dry enough that it wouldn’t have to spend any time in the dryer. After he’s done combining corn,

he said, “We probably have two weeks of tillage ahead of us.” The harvest this year was ahead of schedule. “I think we’re two weeks ahead of normal,” he said. Harvest has been aided by Mother Nature — “It’s been beautiful weather.” With the harvest almost done, Thorpe is thrilled with the results. “The yields were the best we’ve ever had.”

The Pagels Winthrop, Minn.

“Glad we’re finally done with the beans.” When The Land spoke with Delayne Pagel on Oct. 18, he reported that he finished soybean harvest about a week prior. The green stalks made combining beans a slow and tedious task. Pagel is now combining corn. “Moisture, can’t complain; yield, can’t complain,” he said. Pagel

started corn right after he finished with bean harvest. As for this year’s harvest, “It seems like it’s taking forever,” he said. Once corn is complete, he will be “tilling yet this fall.” Overall, harvest has gone “good so far” at the Pagel farm.

The Marbles Mapleton, Minn.

“Harvest is completed.”

The Land spoke with Harlan Marble on Oct. 17. He was happy to report that “We didn’t have any breakdowns.”

Marble finished soybean harvest on Sept. 27 after being able to combine for 15 days straight. The green stalks caused him to have to run the combine at a slow rate. Then, corn harvest

started on Sept. 28 and went 17 days straight.

Marble finished corn harvest on Oct. 14. It was a slow and steady corn harvest due to windy conditions that knocked some stalks down. Both bean and corn harvests “were better than I expected.” Until now, he has “never been through a harvest without any moisture or delays.”

Harvest 2015 can be easily summed up: it was “super good and super slow.”

The Heusinkvelds Wykoff, Minn.

Harvest is finished. Heuisinkveld “got corn all out and field work all done.” When The Land spoke with Heusinkveld on Oct. 18, he reported that corn harvest went well, with “above average yields.” They began Oct. 12 and wrapped up in just four days. “It was a good harvest,” Heusinkveld said. There’s been no rain which is helpful for harvest, but he would like a little moisture now. The wind, however, seems to be in

abundance on the Heusinkveld farm. “It’s been blowing nonstop.” There is some manure to haul and vaccinations for the cows yet to do on the dairy side. This fall has “kind of had the perfect weather.” With an early finish to harvest and good yields, this fall is shaping up to be a great one for Heusinkveld.

More good news is the corn The Kemps has been “dry enough to go Sibley, Iowa right in the bin.” After corn In the midst of corn harvest, Brian Kemp likes harvest is complete Kemp what he’s seeing so far. “Yields are good,” he will do some tillage.

Production levels key to lamb profits

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Philip Berg, lamb and wool management instructor at Minnesota West Community and Technical College, was raised on a Pipestone, Minn.-area sheep farm and continues to work with his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sheep operation.

The college is known for The Pipestone Lamb and Wool Management Program, an education and consulting program. This sheep management system is based on achieving optimum production of a quality product with maximum profit being more important than maximum production. The system is based on low-cost feed ingredients, efficient labor use, low input costs, high production levels and intensive management.

Berg has boiled down flock performance to this basic mathematical criteria: If your goal is to generate a $40 per ewe return to labor and management, and your anticipated market price on a 130-pound lamb is $150 per hundredweight, these benchmarks need to happen: â&#x20AC;˘ Ewe conception rate should be 95 percent or better. â&#x20AC;˘ Lambing percentage (both marketed and retained) should be 142 percent or better. â&#x20AC;˘ Pounds of lamb marketed per ewe should be 185 pounds or better. â&#x20AC;˘ Feed efficiency should be 3.2-to-one or better. â&#x20AC;˘ Feed cost per ewe should be no more than $70. â&#x20AC;˘ Direct expenses plus depreciation should be no more than $100.

Ewe production level is the key (pounds of lamb marketed per ewe). Producers can manage more productions through genetic selection, nutrition and management. Increasing production levels will generate more revenue with similar input costs. Market price is also important, but sheep producers have much less control over market price. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Labor can be a big item,â&#x20AC;? said Berg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Devise both feeding systems and lambing schedules that minimize labor. Ask questions and keep seeking information.â&#x20AC;?

Diverse industry The Minnesota sheep industry is diverse. The wool industry focuses on hand spinners and weavers. The industry also includes club lamb or the show industry for both young and older producers and commercial feeders with market lambs as their primary revenue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the sheep business today is interesting and

Listen to an expert Philip Berg of the Pipestone Lamb and Wool Management Program is scheduled to speak about breeding stock selection at the Lamb and Wool Producers Shepherdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Holiday and Annual Conference Dec. 4-5, in Chaska, Minn. Visit www.mlwp.org to learn more. dynamic,â&#x20AC;? Berg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of good reasons to raise sheep. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a diverse industry. Right now things are looking very good for the commercial people who are focusing on efficiency and the economics of sheep production.â&#x20AC;?

The industry may be a good opportunity for young people, with growth in fiber and wool, show and commercial meat production. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (young people) come in without any baggage, without any traditions, which sometimes is very beneficial for them as they work their way forward,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also this is an age group that is not scared to work but they definitely want to feel certain that what they are doing is making them some money.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very realistic.â&#x20AC;?

In crop farming, the trend continues to be bigger and fewer but not so in the sheep industry. Berg pointed out that about 95 percent of people with sheep have flocks of 20 ewes or less. That segment will prevail for a long period, said Berg.

Current information suggests there are few large lamb feeding operations. Percent lamb crop is one of the key factors in profitability. Percent lamb crop is the number of quality lambs marketed per breeding ewes. For most producers, a 200-percent lamb crop is realistic. Some operations are routinely doing better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing that in both big and small operations,â&#x20AC;? said Berg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good records, good management, and time on the job are how these things happen. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a quick-fix industry.â&#x20AC;?

He sees the sheep industry continuing as a viable part of Minnesota ag business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of economics to understand before jumping in,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an excellent place for young people to get involved in agriculture.â&#x20AC;?

Grain prices are effective cash close on Oct. 20. The price index chart compares an average of most recently reported local cash prices with the same average for a year ago. *Cash grain price change represents a two-week period.

Grain Outlook Harvest rolls, corn drops

Livestock Angles Rapid movement continuing

Grain Angles Evaluating input costs

The following market analysis is for the week ending Oct. 16.

CORN — Corn worked its way lower this week as harvest progressed unimpeded. December corn traded to its lowest level since the Sept. 11 crop report when it hit $3.72 1⁄2 per bushel. For the week, December corn was six cents lower at $3.76 3⁄4 per bushel and the July contract was also down six cents at $3.99 1⁄4 per bushel.

Corn didn’t really have a highlight this week with yield reports improving on later corn and little demand surfacing.

Weekly export sales were PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. delayed a day due to the ColumSt. Paul bus Day government holiday.

For the week ending Oct. 16, corn sales were on the high side of estimates at 23.6 million bushels, but down 32 percent from last year. Exports for 2015-16 are expected to be relatively unchanged year on year.

We have to average 31.2 million bushels per week to achieve the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 1.85 billion bushel export target.

The line-up in Brazil to load/export corn has grown to an unusually long 40 days due to rain. The berths are uncovered and corn is not loaded when it rains. This could push some business to Ukraine or the United States, but we haven’t seen any indications of it yet.

Corn from South America is headed toward Wilmington, N.C., and now we are hearing that sorghum is bound for Southeast hog producers as well!

The only thing you can say about the livestock markets at this point in time is markets go up and they go down. However, most markets are not moving with the drastic daily moves that the livestock markets have in recent weeks. The likelihood of this type of rapid movement continuing is very likely in the days ahead.

The cattle market after making a rather severe drop during the month of September has now apparently found a low in the first few weeks of October. This movement in the cash and futures markets reflected the changes in the supply and demand for beef during the same JOE TEALE period.

Broker Great Plains Commodity Beef cuts made a major drop Afton, Minn. through September and demand for beef slowed because of the price of beef in relation to other competitive meats.

Also aiding in the weakness in the cash side were the heavy cattle that were producing much greater tonnage of beef for the market to absorb. When the beef cutouts reached a point that was more in line with pork and chicken prices, the buyers returned to accumulate more loads of beef. This return of demand and the still tighter supply of animals caused the packer to become more aggressive in purchasing live inventory. Thus the sharp rally off the lows made at the beginning of October.

The outlook for the battle between supply and demand for beef will likely continue as prices fluctuate in both the beef cutout and the cash price. In other words as prices go up the demand will shrink and as prices go down the demand for beef will go up.

See TEALE, pg. 23A

With harvest winding up, your sights will move to next year’s crop and the opportunities that a new growing season brings. It is time to evaluate.

If you decreased the amount of fertilizer on your fields this year, was that a good decision? Did you get the yield you expected? If you decreased fertilizer, how will it impact your 2016 fertilizer plan?

Did you change seed corn varieties to a lesser cost alternative and did that decision result in a negative or positive in your bottom line?

These things need to be considered as you prepare for 2016.

ANDY HUNEKE I have checked on fertilizer AgStar Director Agribiz costs for this year and there has- & Trade Credit/Leasing Northfield, Minn. n’t been much decrease compared to the decrease in the crop prices.

As we move towards year-end, it will be decision time on whether you prepay for your inputs or hope they decrease in price through spring. Start the dialogue with your input suppliers now and get their thoughts on the trends in the inputs and their availability this fall compared to next spring.

The final major input cost, land cost, will need to be evaluated. Are you paying the same rent for lower quality land as you are for higher quality land?

A producer needs to look at the yield on each field and determine if his rent for that farm is in line with its overall profit potential. If you are not diligent on determining your breakeven on each farm, you may be subsiding a specific farm which impacts your total farm breakeven.

Soybean prices surprise market with 26.5-cent rally

Hog market found top in October lating live inventory. It has not hurt either that the packers margins have been positive during that time that prices were advancing.

The supply of hogs seems to expanding which has made the packer become more cautious in their price discovery. The fact that pork cutouts have also moved to much higher levels is also a concern as demand for pork is slowing signs of fading. From a seasonal standpoint, this time of year has in the past been a negative for hog prices in the past and could have an adverse effect on hog prices.

Producers are urged to consider market conditions and protect inventories as warranted. ❖

bushel. The $9.00 level will return as resistance since we were unable to close above it on a weekly basis. Support for the November contract comes in at the 50-day moving average of $8.91 1⁄2 per bushel, then in the $8.80 per bushel area. Managed money and large reportable traders were net long 46,500 soybean contracts as of Oct. 13, up from net long 22,100 contracts in the previous week. The Commitments of Traders report included the big rally on Oct. 13, but not the ensuing sell-off.

Watch Brazil’s weather. Their 11-15 day forecast includes rain for the parched northern region. If the rain doesn’t develop, it may give prices another kick higher; if rains arrive, prices could see additional pressure. Brazil’s soybean planting was estimated at 13 percent at the end of the week versus 10 percent complete last year.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending Oct. 16: December Chicago wheat dropped 17 cents, Minneapolis was 17 1⁄4 cents lower and Kansas City tumbled 16 3⁄4 cents lower. Crude oil pulled back $2.37 to $47.26 per barrel, ultra-lowsulfur diesel plunged 9 1⁄2 cents lower, reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending crumbled nearly nine cents and natural gas was 7 1⁄4 cents lower. ❖

Double-check your breakevens HUNEKE, from pg. 22A The goal of farming is to provide a profit for your family living needs. We in agriculture are so fortunate to have the privilege of doing something we enjoy while providing for our families. Let’s make sure we know our breakevens on all units and continue to provide for our families.

And, as we move through the remainder of the fall, please make sure you keep yourself refreshed and get enough rest. The main causes of many farm accidents are being tired and being in a hurry. Slow down and be safe.

TEALE, from pg. 22A Much will also depend on what the competitive meats are doing as far as price movement.

Therefore, producers will have to continue to monitor the market conditions and protect inventories as needed.

It seems the opposite has been true for the hog market in comparison to the cattle market. The hog market has been rallying since August and it has now appeared to find a top during the middle of October.

Demand for pork has been very good which has allowed the packer to be fairly aggressive in accumu-

SOYBEANS — Soybeans surprised the trade with a big mid-week 26 1⁄2 cent rally, trading to a high of $9.19 3⁄4 per bushel.

Fund buying, moderate concern about dryness in Brazil (later forecasts may negate the worry), and Chinese buying pushed prices higher. Brazil’s soybean planting is progressing, but they would like to see additional rain in the north. New soybean sales of 835,000 metric tons to China and 270,000 mt to unknown have been announced since Oct. 9. Grower selling kicked up on the rally before tapering off into the weekend.

Weekly export sales were at the upper end of projections at 54.3 million bushels, now only 23 percent behind last year. The USDA is calling for year-on- year exports to be nine percent lower. Weekly sales of 18.2 million bushels are needed to fulfill the USDA’s 1.675 billion bushels export outlook. As of Oct. 1, U.S. export commitments to China were 9.152 mmt compared to 17.193 mmt last year. Sales to unknown as of Oct. 1 were 8.734 mmt vs. 6.544 mmt last year. Sales announced since then have helped close the gap, but we are still running behind.

The September National Oilseed Processors Association crush report turned into a non-event despite a lower number than anticipated. The September figure of 126.7 million bushels was below the 129.4 million bushel pre-report outlook. However, this was still the biggest September crush since 2007. Oil stocks were slightly less than expected at 1.355 billion pounds vs. 1.396 billion forecast.

In their October update, Informa Economics new outlook for 2016 planted soybean acres is 83.9 million acres, down 340,000 acres from last month. In 2015-16, U.S. farmers planted 83.2 million acres of soybeans. The FSA’s latest acreage number was 81.1 million acres, marginally lower than last month. The USDA is at 83.2 million planted acres.

OUTLOOK: November soybeans were up 12 1⁄2 cents for the week, closing at $8.98 1⁄4 and the July contract was 9 1⁄2 cents higher, settling at $9.15 per

NYSTROM, from pg. 22A Weekly ethanol production was down 1,000 barrels per day at 949,000 bpd. Production of 969,000 bpd is needed to attain the USDA’s 5.25 billion bushel corn demand for ethanol outlook. Ethanol stocks were up 6 million gallons at 796 million gallons.

This puts stocks at their highest point since August. Brazilian ethanol imports to the United States are on-going. We have imported an estimated 11.3 million gallons of Brazilian ethanol year to date.

Informa Economics refreshed their 2016 planted acreage forecast this week. They pegged corn acres at 90.8 million, 96,000 acres higher than their estimate last month and 2.4 million acres higher than this year.

The Farm Service Agency released updated acres this week. They declared planted or failed corn acres at 84.8 million acres, down slightly from last month.

The USDA is carrying planted acreage at 88.4 million acres. The report was largely ignored.

China is reportedly lifting a nine-year ban on the building of ethanol stocks. Their excess corn inventory is estimated at 150 million metric tons with 2030 mmt of that not in good enough condition for anything but ethanol.

OUTLOOK: December corn took out the shortterm $3.75 support when it traded to $3.72 1⁄2 per bushel to end the week. Next support in the downtrend lies in the $3.65/$3.60 area, then the contract low at $3.57 1⁄2 per bushel set in August. Resistance lies at the week’s high at $3.86 3⁄4 per bushel. Managed money and large reportable traders were net long 157,000 contracts as of Oct. 13, down from long 186,000 contracts the previous week.

Growers continue to be stingy sellers, instead opting for storage or delayed pricing at the elevator. In the short-run, this has likely helped limit the decline in prices. We still have around 40 percent of the harvest to complete (estimated as of Oct. 18) and we may experience additional price pressure in the coming week.

Dairy Market News says “Little spot milk was flowing to Midwest cheese plants this week, leaving production to regular milk at seasonally lower volumes, but still more than a year ago. While some cheesemakers are fortifying vats, that may have more to do with contracted supplies available to the manufacturers than the overall milk supply situation. Most cheesemakers are content with available milk volumes. Orders from retail, food service and institutional buyers are readily filled with little backing into manufacturers’ inventories.

“The seasonal decline of milk intakes has slowed Western cheese production slightly. However, cheese makers report sufficient supplies of milk for processing needs. Higher milk components have given a boost to cheese yields. Consumer demand for natural cheese varieties has remained strong. Mozzarella sales are good as pizza manufacturers continue to meet the increases in seasonal demand. Market participants suggest buyers are comfortable with current market prices.”

As I reported last week, USDA’s World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report showed 2015 production and marketings at 208.9 billion pounds and 207.9 billion pounds, respectively, unchanged from last month’s report. If realized, 2015 production and marketings would be up 2.9 billion pounds or 1.4 percent from 2014.

Production and marketings for 2016 remain projected at 213 billion pounds and 212.1 billion, also unchanged from last month’s projection. If realized, 2016 production would be up 4.1 billion pounds or 1.96 percent from 2015. Milk marketings would be up 4.2 billion pounds or 2.0 percent from 2015.

Fat-basis imports were increased as domestic demand continues to support higher imports of cheese and butter.

Exports were reduced for 2015 on weaker cheese sales, but are unchanged for 2016. Skim-solids imports were reduced for 2015 and 2016, while exports were reduced for 2015 and unchanged for 2016.

USDA says “Large world supplies of dairy products, a strong dollar, and generally weak global demand are expected to continue to pressure exports during 2015 and 2016.

Although butter prices have declined sharply from recent high levels, domestic demand for butter is expected to support relatively high butter prices during 2016.”

The butter price for 2015 was unchanged at the midpoint, and raised for 2016. Cheese prices were raised for 2015 and 2016 on support from domestic demand. Nonfat dry milk prices were forecast higher in 2015 and 2016 reflecting a rebound in both domestic and international prices. Whey prices were lowered for both 2015 and 2016 as supplies are large, according to USDA. Class III milk prices were raised for 2015, but lowered for 2016 as the decline in whey prices more than offsets higher cheese prices. Look for the 2015 average to range $15.90-$16 per hunderedweight, up a dime on the low end from last month’s projection and compares to $22.34 in 2014 and $17.99 in 2013. The 2016 average is projected at $14.75-$15.65, down from $15-$16 expected last month.

Class IV prices were raised for 2015 and 2016 due to higher butter and NDM prices. The 2015 average is now put at $13.85-$14.05, up from $13.55$13.85 anticipated a month ago, and

“Western butter production is steady.

Cream supplies are adequate for most processing needs. A few manufacturers report increasing print butter production slightly to stay ahead of the strong domestic retail demand.”

The Oct. 5 Federal Register says the U.S. Department of Agriculture Foreign Ag Service Administrator determined the amount of butter and fresh or sour cream imported exceeded the trigger level. As a result, an additional duty will now be applied to imports of milk and cream; buttermilk and sour cream; and butter, dairy spreads, fats and oils.

■ Jerry Dryer, editor of the Dairy and Food Market Analyst, reported in Friday’s DairyLine that the most recent three month data through August shows butter commercial disappearance was up almost five percent from a year ago.

He quickly added that “domestically, there hasn’t been anything to really turn this market on fire,” but credited the price increases to “anticipation of tightness” as drought continues to drag on in California where a third of U.S. butter is made.

The other aspect, in Dryer’s opinion, is “We just don’t do a really good job of managing our inventories.” He said that “many in the butter business don’t use the options and futures markets very effectively in order to safely manage and correctly manage their inventories. If those inventories were well managed, we wouldn’t have quite so many ups and downs.”

Cheese is a little bit of the same, he said, although prices haven’t had the crazy ups and downs like butter but have stayed pretty flat all year.

Ditto on powder, says Dryer. The cheap price has driven utilization pretty dramatically in the United States, he said, exports are off, but commercial disappearance was up almost nine percent during June, July, and August.

■ Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell appeared Oct. 7 before the House Agriculture Committee to discuss the 2015 Dietary Guidelines. The process is undertaken every five years to make recommendations to consumers so they can make food choices that lead to a healthier population. But, they also influence government policy on food stamps and school lunch programs.

A posting on International Dairy Food Association’s website states that committee members were told that the new guidelines will “stick to food-based recommendations that emphasize the importance of following total healthy eating patterns and that they will not deal with sustainability or recommend a food tax.

“The hearing followed up on concerns expressed by Representative Mike Conaway, R-Texas, chairman of the committee, and other members about recommendations made by the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee in its nearly 600-page report released in February,” according to the IDFA.

Western and Eastern cream supplies are steady to lower. Cream demand remains strong across the country.

“At the hearing, the secretaries assured the committee that the 2015 Dietary Guidelines will be based on sound science. They noted that thousands of scientific papers and decades of nutrition and medical research will be considered in addition to the more than 29,000 public comments that the departments received on the advisory committee’s report.

“A question about milk was raised at the hearing by Representative G.T. Thompson, R-Pa., who serves on the House committee. He asked whether current U.S. Department of Agriculture nutrition policies contribute to the trend of milk consumption falling short of the Dietary Guidelines recommendations. Vilsack said they are currently reviewing the policies, which will continue to evolve as new information becomes available.

“USDA and the Department of Health and Human Services are currently finalizing the 2015 Dietary Guidelines, which are expected to be completed in December of this year,” IDFA concludes.

Minimize nitrogen movement with chicken litter

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Farm Nutrients LLC, specializing in chicken litter, crop inputs and crop spraying, is based in Buena Vista County, Iowa, the heart of the egg laying industry in Iowa. As the nutrient company’s Agronomy Sales Team Leader, Gary Graham has a knowledgeable perspective on the issue of nitrates.

Nitrates in drainage water are a big issue with area farmers and non-farmers alike. Science shows sloughing of ditch banks are a major reason for river sediment. Graham advises farmers that multiple applications of nitrogen lessens nitrogen leaching. He’s talking some fall-applied nitrogen, then a pre-plant application in the spring with a June application if needed.

“We’re using aerial imagery to help decide if we need more nitrogen in V6-V8 early growth stages,” said Graham. “It gives us a measurement of crop health which basically tells us if the crop needs more nitrogen.”

He pointed out that nitrogen applied at this stage also is used more efficiently by the plant, reducing the risk of nitrogen leaching through the soil into the tile drainage system.

Graham indicated chicken litter also is a strategy for minimizing nitrogen movement in the soils. Why is chicken litter slow release?

“Because it’s about an 80 percent inorganic product,” he said, “which has to break down into organic form for the plant to use it. And that is why chicken litter has become a popular choice in the corn fertilization program in our area where tons and tons of chicken litter are conveniently available from the huge egg laying facilities in the area.”

A Hefty Seeds information brochure indicates that through mineralization every year, each one

No farmer wants to apply more nitrogen than his crop uses because that’s simply not economically smart. And water quality issues are already front page news too often anyway.

— Gary Graham

percent of organic matter in the soil releases approximately: • Nitrogen — 20 to 30 pounds.

• Phosphate — 4 to 7 pounds.

• Sulfur — 2 to 3 pounds.

• Potassium — almost none. K is released from feldspars (rock containing K) and other base soil components.

• For every one percent of organic matter increase in soil, the average soil can hold approximately four percent more water.

Low corn prices have created new interest in when and how to apply nitrogen in your corn program.

“No farmer wants to apply more nitrogen than his crop uses because that’s simply not economically smart,” Graham said. “And water quality issues are already front page news too often anyway.”

He’s not aware of any good science identifying specific genetic traits with better nitrogen utilization than conventional corn hybrids.

“Obviously the higher yielding hybrids will use

more nitrogen,” he said, “but tracing nitrogen uptake to certain genetics isn’t yet in the hopper as far as I know.”

In view of tremendous pressure on cost effectiveness in corn production, farmers are more willing to do yearly soil sampling as opposed to every four to six years.

“We’re finding more farmers want to do a yearly grid sampling system,” said Graham. “This generates enough information so that we can be doing variable rate application of nitrogen and P and K.” He’s talking 2 1⁄2-acre grids so from a 200-acre field that could mean upwards of 80 separate soil samples taken, very likely with different soil types.

He said farmers want to learn more about the total soil health of their crop land. They want to know more about the biological activity of their soils, not just the fertility data.

“New tests now available can test for soil organic matter which helps us in making total fertility recommendations for a particular piece of land,” said Graham. “Chicken litter helps build organic matter, which is why we have become a major handler of that product. Organic matter helps with the waterholding capacity of your soils which helps hold the nitrogen in the soil rather than flushing it through the soil profile into your drainage system.”

Continuous corn is strategy for building organic matter. Natural fertilizers such as livestock manure and cover crops also increase organic matter values.

Why is organic matter important?

• It improves soil structure and tilt.

• It reduces compaction and increases oxygen levels in the soil.

• It helps hold soil in place and reduces erosion potential.

• It helps filter contaminants as water moves through the soil.

• It allows soils to warm more quickly in the spring.

• Organic matter can hold approximately three times as many nutrients as clay.

How do farmers get access to this information early in the crop season so they can make needed adjustments? Graham said it’s all about aerial imagery, via drones and airplanes. The airplane is a cheaper route than the drone because it covers many more acres in a shorter time.

But don’t rely on your local aerial applicator to also do aerial imagery work.

“Their planes are designed differently, specifically for spray applications,” said Graham. “The airplane we use for our aerial mapping has a $1 million camera. We’ve been working with aerial imagery for three years yet we’re only doing about 10 percent of our crop land with this technology at this date.

“But it keeps increasing and with tighter production margins, sharp farmers may get into this strategy more quickly as a means to more accurately control their production expenses. We’re still into the ‘early adopter’ stage.” ❖

hybrids can spend $15 to $20 an acre for insecticides. They start out saving $40 on seed costs but, in the end, are they actually saving it or are they spending it in a different direction?”

He plants 33,000 to 34,000 plants per acre in 30-inch rows. He uses a disk ripper after harvest, and his header is equipped with a crusher/roller mechanism that beats up the stalks pretty good.

“I’m not into black tillage,” he said.

“I’ve done moldboard plowing for corn-on-corn but it’s too black. Winter wind erosion, spring too, can be a hazard. So I leave quite a bit of surface residue plus what’s incorporated 8 to 10 inches deep in the soil profile. I hate blowing soils.”

Will he make any money on $3.25 corn?

“Perhaps at best a break even situation,” Doden said. “But if there’s 20-25 bushels more per acre out there then I’ll make some money.”

He said a $50 to $60 profit is a real possibility because corn prices are staying stronger than expected. Only time will tell. ❖

daily for a local egg laying operation,” he said. “Both are very important markets for my crop so I do pay close attention. And yes, the garbage talk about ethanol being such a waste of resources ignores the fact that there’s a tremendous amount of feed value for the livestock industry.

“You talk to the dairy industry, the cattle industry and, to a lesser extent, the pork people too and they all talk of the dried distiller’s grains that have now become standard feeds in their rations. And it’s also an important export item, too, especially to China which has a huge livestock industry.”

Doden somewhat jokingly talked about corn farmers inventing $3 corn.

Back in the 1940s and ’50s $1 corn was typical. How does Doden figure his current production costs for each bushel of his corn?

“Today around $3 to $3.25 but that depends upon the outcome of this year’s crop,” he said. “We’re talking near-record yields in my neighborhood. It’s going to be one of the better yields ever. Yes, we’ll have lots of 200-plus yields but some not so strong, too. Same things still affect us — weed control, fertility, hail and wind damage, excessive rains.”

He’s a 50-50 gambler on buying GMO hybrids.

“Traits give you some protection on rootworms; also weed control with Roundup which has become modestly priced,” said Doden. “Because I do lots of corn on corn, rootworms are a risk.

Some people using conventional hybrids and rotations may not have a rootworm issue. But I do because of extended diapauses, so the traits I pay attention to, and buy my seed corn accordingly.

“Guys that don’t buy the trait

THE LAND, OCTOBER 23, 2015

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer “I’ve been farming since I was 20,” said Woden, Iowa, farmer Laurence Doden.

“Now I’m 65. I’ve grown corn every year.

That’s certainly enough reason why I should pay attention not only about how to grow this amazing crop but what happens to it after it leaves my yard.”

That straightforward comment by Doden at this summer’s Clay County Fair in Spencer, Iowa, might be echoed by thousands of producers. He was concerned, however, about the “quiet tongue” of most farmers.

“I don’t know that each of us needs to be a fountain of knowledge about what happens to our corn,” he said, “but knowing how to produce it and having some awareness of its distribution I think is just simply part of the process of being a farmer.”

For example, Doden said he knew that about 34 percent of the U.S. corn crop goes into ethanol production.

“I’m aware because my corn either goes directly to a local ethanol plant or a feed mill which processes tons of feed

Cost: Price varies Details: www.mlwp.org flock size is less than 25 head,” said Geske. “If you look at people that are actually doing it as a business, then their average flock size is higher.”

Geske manages a 45-ewe Suffolk flock south of New Prague. He began raising sheep as a 4-H project when he was nine years old and he has had them ever since.

“We do some showing and sell some breeding stock at state and national shows,” said Geske.

The industry has room for new shepherds.

“Like most commodity groups we’d like to see more younger producers getting involved. We do have a mentorship program to assist younger producers getting started in the industry,” he said.

Minnesota sheep producers are good at what they do. According to Geske, Minnesota for many years has led the nation in terms of lamb crop percentage.

“Even though we live in a cold climate, our producers really focus on number of lambs born and weaned,” he said.

Geske credits quality breeds, feed resources and management for this ranking. He noted that the Pipestone Lamb and Wool Management Program is one of the cornerstones for the quality and success of the Minnesota sheep industry. So, too, is the Minnesota producers association which conducts training and education events for all sheep producers. He also credits the Pipestone Veterinary Clinic, one of the leading sheep health clinics in the country, for advancing the industry.

Geske is encouraged about the youth sheep project in Minnesota. In most counties you see youth involved in sheep projects, and he pointed out that that’s a rarity in most states.

Shepherd’s Holiday The Shepherd’s Holiday and Annual Conference of Minnesota Lamb and Wool Producers (see info box) has become a get-together for shepherds and enthusiasts in Minnesota. The Celebrate Lamb Social kicks off the event with Chef Virgil Emmert preparing three different lamb dishes to sample. Sheep cheese along with local wines will also be sampled.

“Saturday is a full day of educational conferences — sheep health, marketing, production — for experienced producers to beginners,” said Geske.

Saturday also features the Make it With Wool fashion show, trade show and annual banquet. ❖

Sheep industry offers many opportunities, challenges ceed best.”

Now is a good time to be in the sheep business, as feed costs have come down and lamb prices have remained steady.

“I would like to say that should mean an increase in sheep numbers here in Minnesota but that’s not likely,” Persons said. “Things happen slowly within this industry. So mostly I see flock owners making

improvements within their own operations during this period of better income.”

He supports getting more youth involved in the industry, noting that this is a mission with all livestock groups.

Dan Persons was interviewed at the 2014 Minnesota Lamb and Wool Producers Annual Conference. ❖

THE LAND, OCTOBER 23, 2015 << www.TheLandOnline.com >>

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Dan Persons of Kensington, Minn., started the Rafter P Ranch in 1997. His ranch was originally a stock cow operation and sheep were added in 2002. He began with 50 ewes and today the ranch runs 9501,100 ewes and finishes all of the Dan Persons lambs they produce.

As past president of Minnesota Lamb and Wool Producers, Persons sees both opportunity and challenges in the growing industry.

Louisberg Lutheran Church, Louisberg, Minn.

his church has been through the mill. The people who built these churches were just incredible. They had the fortitude to keep going after it got blasted down twice.”

Elan Hacker, Synodically Authorized Minister who serves Louisburg (Minn.)

Lutheran Church, was expressing her admiration for people who lived long before she was born. She and Terry Johnson, who grew up in the congregation and has been its janitor for 34 years, were standing in the third building constructed by the members.

The first church building built in 1891 was destroyed in a March 1905 tornado. A second wooden structure erected that year was struck by lightning and burned in 1926. They responded in 1927 by erecting a brick building.

“It amazes me when I think that they were on their third building, and how much they put into this structure,” Johnson said.

“They didn’t spare anything.”

Sunlight filtering through huge colored glass windows on both sides of the cruciform-shaped sanctuary cast a brilliant light on the polished wooden pews. A colored glass window depicting Jesus kneeling in the Garden of Gethsemane graces the wall above the altar.

The interior was further beautified by the wood carving of Pastor Allen Erickson, who served in the 1970s. Four arches with colors and carvings depicting seasons and holy days of the church year are in the front of the sanctuary. On either side of the altar, large carved wooden letters proclaim, “Praise Ye The Lord.”

Originally named the Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church of Louisburg, they have the expected lutefisk supper. Instead of the 700 they used to serve, it is now for the first 100 people to buy tickets, and usually there is a waiting list. (With such soughtafter tickets, scalping is possible but unlikely. Lutefisk eaters are not known to give up tickets at any price.)

Like many rural congregations, the oncefilled pews now offer spacious seating for worshippers, which these days average 25 per Sunday. But the members continue to be faithful to the Lord who brought the congregation through two disasters in its early history. And they worship in an uncommonly beautiful sanctuary for a back roads congregation. ❖

By MARIE WOOD The Land Associate Editor CHASKA, Minn. — At Chaska West Middle School, Alisa Katane added a slice of watermelon and corn on the cob to her tray while Shane Wein chose a slice of watermelon and a spoon full of corn. Sixth grader Blanca Meza chose baby carrots and sliced apples with her chicken nuggets and mashed potatoes and gravy.

“They’re good, healthy and I like them. I eat a lot,” said eighth grader Wein.

Good news for kids like Wein is the students can choose as many fruits and vegetables as they want, said Jan Young, site manager at Chaska West Middle School.

“The fruit is bigger, but I only got two things, because I don’t have enough space on my tray,” said Katane.

Fresh fruits and vegetables grown by Minnesota farmers are more abundant at Chaska West Middle School thanks to a $50,000 Farm to School grant from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture in 2015. New hot and cold wells now display locally grown fruits and vegetables.

“Our grant was used to redo this

Program supports farmers, ‘gets kids eating better’ FARM TO SCHOOL, from pg. 1B farm to school program is that during these formative years, they learn to make choices that are healthy for them.”

Farm fresh As students go through the line, cold fresh fruits and veggies are offered first. A “Today’s Local Produce” sign identified carrots from Ed Fields and Son Farm; apples and corn from Sponsel’s Minnesota Harvest Apple Orchard in Jordan; cucumbers, peppers and acorn squash from Svihel Vegetable Farm in Foley; and cherry tomatoes from Akerberg Acres near Carver.

Darcy Akerberg of Akerberg Acres has been involved in Farm to School for about five years, first with the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage school district and now with Eastern Carver County Schools.

“I think it’s wonderful. It supports the local farmers and it gets our kids eating better in our schools,” said Akerberg.

She has even been a guest server.

“It’s rewarding to see the kids’ faces,” she said.

From September to early November, Akerberg Acres provides potatoes, winter squash, tomatoes, green beans, zucchini, cucumbers and apples to the school. Akerberg lets them know what’s available week to week and they order what matches the menu.

“It’s worked out so well. We just love doing it,” said Akerberg.

The kids are eating it up. Young, who is called the “awesome lunch lady” by a Chaska West Middle School coworker, has seen an increase in the consumption of fruits and vegetables. For instance, she served crinkle cut cucumbers. In a single lunch period, students gobbled up as many cucumbers as

“Just having the display a little more attractive, being able to put more out there, more colors; It’s made a huge difference,” said Young. Chaska West Middle School serves 515 complete meals per day.

eighth grade girls said they “hate school lunches” and bring their own lunches in colorful insulated bags.

“In sixth grade, we all got it (school lunches). Then they went all healthy on us,” said Joce Lane.

Lane is right. In 2012-13, the U.S. Department of Agriculture implemented new standards for school meals, championed by First Lady Michelle Obama.

The guidelines call for daily fruits and vegetables, whole grain-rich foods, fat-free or low-fat milk, proper portions, reducing amounts of saturated fat, trans fats and sodium. The guidelines were phased in over three years, starting with lunches.

The motto is “cooked and fresh every day,” with a goal of offering two fresh fruits daily, said Williams.

With the new equipment, that is possible.

Farm to School grants October is national Farm to School month. In Minnesota, fewer than 20 school districts were engaged in farm to school practices in 2006, according to www.farmtoschool.org. Based on the USDA Farm to School Census, 208 school districts spent $12 million on local foods in the 2011-12 school year.

Since 2013, the MDA awarded 51 Farm to School grants totaling about $1 million, said program See FARM TO SCHOOL, pg. 3B

Grants’ goal: Increase Minnesota ag sales to schools “Schools have embraced it,” said Williams.

In 2016, MDA plans to award up to $500,000 in Farm to School grants. The Center for Prevention at Blue Cross

Ripley’s now shocking us with ‘Eye-Popping Oddities’ Just kidding.

You’ve said that before, a dozen times.

“Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Maybe you’ve even heard it today from Eye-Popping Oddities” someone who’s joking with you, poking c.2015, Ripley Publishing you, teasing you with something that’s so $28.95 / $34.95 outrageous you can’t wrap your head around it. But here: you’re no fool, so Canada maybe it’s time to look at the new book, 265 pages “Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Eye-Popping Oddities,” where there’s really no kidding allowed.

THE BOOKWORM SEZ The world is a very weird place, and it gets weirder all the time. Case in point:

By Terri Schlichenmeyer the things you’ll find inside “Eye-Popping Oddities” — like, for instance, the strange objects people collect. Someone in Ohio collects bedpans. There are a lot of people one at the time? Bet you’ve who collect ink on their bodies. A man in California never thought about standing in collected keys, a girl in Pennsylvania loves nail pol- the middle of a fireworks disish, a woman in New York collects fashion doll parts play, lighting a fire on your to create jewelry. And you’ll be amazed at what can tongue, tattooing your eyeballs, be made from collections of bones… or putting poisonous spiders in Everybody loves animals, right? Then how about your mouth. Yep, somebody’s the four-eyed mouse spotted in Florida? Or a dog thought of those things and you’ll see them in this who’s learned to be a horse trainer, or a bird who book. saved his owner’s life by squawking. Read about the Here, you’ll read about a 3,200-year-old tree, a boy Illinois cow that’s taller than a basketball player, with a tail, and a secret swimming pool in the middle the bat cave in Texas (no, not Batman’s cave), and of the desert, accessible only by “treasure hunt.” Find find out what you’re really wearing when you don out about the comedian who played a trick on everysilk clothing. body in Hollywood and see which star was the first to Did you ever have an idea that seemed like a good have 100 million Facebook fans. Learn about funky

fashion, a lost-leg-turned-lamp, ancient medical devices, things that make you say “eeeuuuuwww,” and the sad stories of the “pinhead” sisters and Julia Pastrana.

And if that don’t make your eyeballs pop, then maybe this will: many of the things I mentioned, above, are accompanied by full-color pictures inside “Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Eye-Popping Oddities.”

But really, that shouldn’t come as a surprise: Ripley’s books today are the same quality entertainment they were when you were a kid; in fact, this book reaches back many decades to include old sideshow photographs, biographies, and words about Robert Ripley, the organization’s founder. You can trust, therefore, that what you’ll find here is squirmy, icky, cool, weird, and fascinating, but respectful.

I’m not sure that I’d give this book to a small child, but kids ages 12-and-up could probably handle what’s inside and adults can enjoy it, guilt-free. It’s got variety enough to appeal to every interest, so look for it and have fun because “Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Eye-Popping Oddities” isn’t just for the kiddos, you know.

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

The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Terri has been reading since she was three years old and never goes anywhere without a book. She lives in Wisconsin with three dogs and 10,000 books. ❖

Just as the soybean crop matures, so too the farm wife I read a post last fall on social media. It said, “My favorite color is October.”

A change of seasons is always refreshing, especially when lush green bursts into all the warm colors that autumn produces. I noticed upon late summer this year that the soybean fields were beginning to look as dry as my skin does, and that the leaves were beginning to change color — much like my own hair has done over the last few years.

TABLE TALK

By Karen Schwaller

The soybeans and I have both been maturing, and there are others who have noticed.

The soybeans and I have both Last week I was at the cash register of a been maturing, and there are clothing store, when the clerk asked me, others who have noticed.

“You’re not over 55 are you?”

“No,” I said, sure that Alan Ludden was hiding somewhere in the store. “I’m a few here each Wednesday. You might as well have it.” months from it. Why?” I was glad to have the extra discount, but was trau“Well,” she said as she took a minute to matized that someone would deem my face worthy of decide. “We have a senior citizen discount such a discount. Apparently I need to either find a new wrinkle cream or pony up the cash for a facelift.

(Lord knows what else needs to be lifted.)

I would have drowned my sorrows in a chocolate malt if I hadn’t been afraid they had a senior citizen discount that day at the ice cream shop, too. That would’ve put me over the edge.

On the farm, life changes happen every year. Farm babies are born and others die. Planters come out each spring. Crops go from green and growing to yellowish-orange and slowing down, to brown and dried up. Combines emerge, crops are swallowed up and then heaved out the unloading auger.

For the farm family, fall takes on a whole new meaning. I see social media posts about the fabulous colors of fall, the sweatshirts people love wearing, burning leaves, the chill in the air, Friday night football games and all the wonderful ways people celebrate that season.

Farm families know fall means all of those great things, too, but it’s also the season where all hands are needed on deck. Every day. No exceptions.

There is equipment to keep running as farmers harvest fields of gold and make financial decisions for the year based on what the yield monitor says.

People are needed to haul grain, keep bins or corn dryers running and bale the corn stover until the snow flies. There are livestock chores to do at home while people are in the field, and meals on wheels to be delivered to farmers who have already worked a 12- or 13-hour day by 6 or 7 p.m. For farm families, fall tells the story of decisions made all growing season long.

For young children, fall is a season of great excitement as they see those combines do their thing. A 90mile trip to my parents’ farm one October prompted a new game for our (then) very young children.

Everyone was supposed to count the combines in the fields on their sides of the car. Those on whichever side of the car who had counted more combines in their fields by the time we got there won the game.

I was a genius. They stayed occupied the whole time.

But that was back in my ‘green and growing’ days of living and parenting. These days I’m somewhere between the stages of ‘yellowish-orange/slowing down’ and ‘brown and dried up.’

Good thing I’m a farm wife and not a dairy cow.

That’s all I have to say about that.
