Ag cooperative members asking ‘Who’s the boss?’

OPINION

The Land wants to hear from you.

To the Editor: Now is the time for an Al-Corn exit plan for retirement-age owner members.

The ethanol cooperative’s board can come up with an exit plan that pays equitable value for the shares of those retirement-age members who borrowed money to build the plant more than 20 years ago.

Taking such action will leave a majority of members who will support a new plant. This action by our board would make it work for both sides.

The Al-Corn Board of Directors should show us it can take action on this matter.

John Steele Hayfield, Minn. mean. “Most of these folks came from corporations and their ideas have the feel of ‘corporate’ bylaws. Maybe they don’t appreciate just how deep in most members’ bones is the idea of local control.”

That principle cooperative element is embodied in the Capper-Volstead Act, the 1922 law that is the Magna Carta of the U.S. ag co-op movement because it allowed ag producers to organize and collectively approach the market as either buyers or sellers without violating federal antitrust law.

(One of its namesake authors, Minnesota Congressman Andrew Volstead, had another law named after him, The Volstead Act, that wasn’t as successful: in 1919 it ushered in Prohibition.)

If Watne is right, CHS managers and the co-op’s board of producer-directors will get a new appreciation of that deeply-held belief Dec. 4 because another proposal to be voted on that

day has the co-op dropping any reference to Capper-Volstead. The reason, claims CHS, is that “Given the nature of CHS business, we do not benefit from potential protections offered under Capper-Volstead.”

Maybe not, says co-op manager Dockter, but removal of any reference to this underpinning law is akin to changing the Ten Commandments. “It basically lays the groundwork for a reversal of roles and I don’t think people want that.”

What members want today and what CHS managers think they need for tomorrow can be the same thing, Dockter explains. “But the one thing everyone needs to know now is ‘Who’s the boss?’ We know: It’s us.”

HAGEN, from pg. 2A tially the same. It’s those “trait” accessories that ramp up the cost — and hopefully provide the protection. Stay tuned. I think the seed industry is in a real struggle these days on conventional versus biotech.

It’s the law I’ll wrap up with a few laws many of us encounter...

• Law of Mechanical Repair: After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch.

• Law of Probability: The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.

• Law of Bathing: After the body is fully immersed in warm soothing water, the telephone rings.

• Law of Close Encounters: The probability of meeting someone you know increases when you are with someone you don’t want to be seen with.

• Law of Logical Argument: Anything is possible if you don’t know what you are talking about. (That law comes into play routinely with my morning coffee crew.)

My wish is that Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26, will be a wonderful event for you and your family. Remember blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they shall never cease to be amused. And here’s a fortune cookie for you: It’s not only important to add years to your life but to also add life to your years!

Finally, my kudos to Managing Editor Tom Royer in last issue of The Land for his honesty about his days “playing farmer” with his brother in western Iowa, and for the tender words describing the absence of his dear father who died earlier this season. Choice memories, Tom, that will always be with you. Thank you for sharing.

Des Moines has arguably the world’s largest nitrate removal facility, to treat water from the Des Moines and Raccoon rivers. In 2015, the facility ran 148 days.

“That’s a record for us,” said Stowe.

The Environmental Protection Agency has set the maximum level of nitrate in drinking water at 10 mg per liter or 10 parts per million. Rates higher than that can cause blue baby syndrome in which infants under six months old can die from a lack of oxygen in their blood.

“This (water) is a commodity that’s very important to us both commercially and in public health,” Stowe said.

In addition, he noted a record number of beach closures in 2015. Polluted Iowa waterways are up 15 percent, and 60 cities in Iowa have reported high nitrate levels, said Stowe.

The Gulf of Mexico’s “dead zone” was measured at 6,474 square miles this summer. Excessive amounts of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus in Mississippi River water enter the gulf, causing huge algae blooms which then die and sink to the ocean floor.

Bacteria then decompose the dead algae, removing dissolved oxygen from the water; this lack of oxygen kills fish and other organisms.

Stowe: Voluntary practices not getting job done COVER STORY, from pg. 7A hard on aquatic systems.

Water quality efforts According to Iowa State University, nitrate concentration problems in the 10,000-square-mile Des Moines watershed are due to corn and soybeans, said Stowe. Iowa has 13 million acres of corn, 9.7 million acres of soybeans and 21 million hogs, compared to three million humans. In 1950, Iowa had 100 million animals and in 2007, 9.5 billion animals.

Stowe said there is little local control over livestock operators in Iowa.

The Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy as a voluntary process is not getting the job done. Prompted by the EPA Gulf Hypoxia Action plan, the strategy is based on science that 92 percent of the nitrate problem is from unregulated ag sources and eight percent is from wastewater treatment plants and factories, said Stowe.

“Science excellent, policy horrible,” he said. “It’s not resourced, it’s not measured, there are no time frames, there are no requirements.”

The strategy calls for the reduction of 45 percent of nutrient loads going into Iowa waters, the Mississippi River and to the Gulf of Mexico. Practices to reduce nutrient runoff such as saturated buffer strips, crop rotation, nitrogen stabilizers, cover crops, constructed wetlands and bioreactors are both expensive and voluntary.

“The idea that a public health concern should be voluntary to me is not practical,” said Stowe.

Based on a study from Iowa State University, reducing 45 percent of nutrient loads will take a long-term investment of $1 to $1.5 billion each year over 20 years, Stowe said.

To help implement the Nutrient Reduction Plan, the Iowa Water Quality Initiative was established in 2013.

In July, Gov. Terry Branstad and the Iowa Legislature committed $9.6 million to the initiative. In addition, the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship received $6.75 million for conservation cost share projects. ISU received $1.35 million for its Nutrient Research Center and $1.23

Gov. Branstad and Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey said the conservation practices will take time to work.

“In my business of providing day-today drinking water, we don’t have time,” said Stowe.

Minnesota The Minnesota Department of Agricul-

ture’s Nitrogen Fertilizer Management Plan has been revised. The plan is the blueprint to prevent or minimize risks of nitrogen pollutants in Minnesota groundwater. Larry Gunderson, MDA agriculture unit supervisor, explained that the department is testing private wells in townships. If high nitrate levels are found, farmers can implement best management practices to reduce levels.

“The first three years are voluntary,” said Gunderson. “Then if farmers are not following the BMPs and those nitrate levels are high — that’s when it becomes regulatory.”

So MDA is writing the Nitrogen Fertilizer Rule to support the plan. The rule will have two parts: Restrict application of nitrogen fertilizer in the fall in vulnerable groundwater areas; and requirements to meet the BMPs if nitrate levels are high after three years.

Field pennycress showing ‘bridge crop’ potential

By TIM KING The Land Correspondent ST. PAUL — Field pennycress has the potential to be an economically and environmentally valuable bridge between the fall harvest and the planting of corn and soybeans the next year.

Field pennycress is a member of the mustard family of plants and comes to Minnesota and the Midwest from Eurasia. Although FPC is widely considered a weed, it has also been recognized as having potential for biodiesel, aviation fuel, and even edible oil. In that sense it is similar to its plant relative canola.

FPC can seed itself, or be seeded, in the late summer. It will grow under the cool conditions of autumn and survive the winter to start growing again in the spring before many other plants germinate.

Because field pennycress is a winter annual it has the potential to act like a cover crop. That means it can prevent soil erosion and keep excess nitrogen and phosphorous in place rather than in ground and surface waters. But because it has the potential for oil production, it is more than a cover crop.

Researchers like Don Wyse, professor at the University of Minnesota, are calling it a bridge crop.

“A bridge crop is a crop that is planted in the fall in a harvested or standing crop and grows until

“In Minnesota the period between April and June is when we get most of our rain,” Wyse said. “If you don’t have living material the residual nitrate nitro-

gen will leach down into tile lines or streams. If you keep the field green that nitrate nitrogen will be held in place. It will also provide a living cover to hold the soil and phosphorous in place.”

PENNYCRESS, from pg. 10A another crop is planted into the bridge crop or immediately after the bridge crop is harvested,” Wyse said.

“The difference between a cover crop and a bridge crop is that a cover crop is not harvested while a bridge crop is harvested for grain or biomass.”

Along with other scientists from the U of M’s Department of Agronomy & Plant Genetics and Department of Plant Biology, as well as scientists from USDA’s Agricultural Research Service, Wyse been working to develop improved lines of field pennycress for about a decade.

“For years we’ve been asking farmers, ‘Why don’t you grow cover crops?’” Wyse said. “They always ask us, ‘What do you want us to grow and what’s the market for it?’ It became evident to me that farmers didn’t have any options. The land grant universities, with their public investment, developed the annual crops that we have today.

“Now the challenge is for those universities to develop the next generation of crops that are perennial or winter annual and that provide ecological services as well as economic opportunities for rural Minnesota.

Farmers won’t have these options unless someone steps forward and develops them and also develops the enterprises that make them economically viable.”

Forever Green FPC is one of a number of crops being developed by the U of M’s Center for Integrated Resources and Agricultural Management under the auspices of the Forever Green Agriculture Initiative. Wyse is codirector of the center.

Wyse said that development of field pennycress is further along than other crops because it has a simple genome that is related to the previous genome mapping of Arabidopsis, another member of the mustard family.

“The FPC program now has thousands of new lines that have been developed in the breeding program,” he said. “Since we have sequenced the genome of pennycress it means we have the ability to compare it to the Arabidopsis genome in which all of the functional genes have been identified. So we now know all of the genes in pennycress that control flowering time, dormancy, oil, etc.

“This allows the breeders to determine which crosses contain the traits of interest without planting them out in the field. This speeds up the development of the new improved varieties. The breeding program is focused on traits regarding seed dormancy, oil content, early maturity, rapid emergence, yield, short stature, and non-lodging, among other things.”

Late this summer the FPC development team overseeded a variety into 15 acres of standing corn.

They used a highboy-style tractor to get above the corn and dragged heavy chains behind the tractor to ensure germination.

“We’ve found that to get consistent germination you need some form of soil disturbance,” Wyse said.

The FPC germinated before harvest and will continue growing after harvest until freeze-up. As it grows it will act like a conventional cover crop in that it will capture nitrate nitrogen and hold the soil in

Crop marketing, processing part of research PENNYCRESS, from pg. 11A The Forever Green team is currently working on a research project to determine just how much N is held in place by the living pennycress.

Wyse believes part of that N will be captured when the pennycress is harvested. Since the FPC harvest will likely be in early to mid-June Wyse expects that soybeans will be seeded into the standing FPC in May. “We call that a relay crop system and we believe that will work best in our shorter growing season,” he said.

Since the FPC has been growing since the previous autumn, Wyse anticipates almost complete suppression of weeds.

“We’re really excited about that,” he said. “We’ll dramatically reduce herbicide inputs.”

Market Selecting field pennycress varieties that will excel in this cropping system is only part of what needs to be done if the crop is to be successful and accepted by farmers. This fall the U of M, in collaboration with the Agricultural Utilization Research Institute, pressed their first small batch of oil from FPC grown by the project. The researchers will conduct livestock and poultry feeding trials with the protein remaining after oil extraction.

Forever Green Agriculture Initiative mapping genomes The Forever Green Agricultural Initiative intends to use the most advanced plant breeding technology to improve farmers’ incomes, protect the state’s water and soil, and increase the quantity and quality of wildlife habitat in rural Minnesota.

Using techniques developed by the publicly-funded human genome project, University of Minnesota plant breeding teams are rapidly and inexpensively mapping the genomes of plants that can serve as both cover crops and sources of additional farm income.

“A billion dollars was invested in mapping the human genome,” University of Minnesota Department of Agronomy and Plant Genetics professor Don Wyse said. “With what we learned from that we can map a genome for $75,000. It has revolutionized plant breeding. Five years ago the technology was there but now the cost has come down dramatically. My team mapped the field pennycress

genome on a laptop computer for $75,000.”

Mapping a genome allows plant breeders to determine if a plant has the traits that they are seeking.

That helps eliminate a lot of trial and error that previously had to be done in trial plots in the field.

“You can look at the DNA and determine if the one you’re looking at has the trait that you’re looking for,” said Wyse. “You do have to trial the one that has the trait to see how it performs in the field but it really speeds things up. Not only can you look at individual traits, but with the genome map you can look at the full array of traits that you want.”

In addition to developing field pennycress, Forever Green researchers are looking at another oil seed plant called camelina. They are also working on intermediate wheatgrass, perennial sunflowers and hazelnuts.

—Tim King

“With the pennycress we’re building the end-use component as much or more than we are developing the genomics,” said Wyse.

Developing new crops along with a processing and marketing infrastructure takes a long time and is fraught with risks and pitfalls. Both field pennycress

development and the larger Forever Green Agriculture Initiative will take years of hard work and continued public investment before they reach the ambitious goals established for them, Wyse said.

Canadian growth a learning experience for NorthStar

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer NorthStar Genetics, founded to raise and market soybean seed in 1996, is celebrating its 20th anniversary and its growth to a $50 million business marketing soybean seed in Minnesota, the Dakotas, and most recently an Dan Hogstad expansion into Canada.

Dan Hogstad is CEO of NorthStar Genetics and the company’s first employee.

“We never thought it would grow at this rate and over such a large geography. Securing our Roundup Ready license in the United States in 1996, and in Canada in 2004, has been the key to our success,” Hogstad said.

Originally NorthStar Genetics had 20 investors in Minnesota.

“We realized quite soon that we needed more investors to cover more geography,” said Hogstad. “We secured the rights to sell shares in both North Dakota and South Dakota. This immediately enlarged our U.S. market footprint into what it is today.”

Using the business model that worked successfully in the United States, NorthStar next secured a license from Monsanto to market Roundup Ready soybeans throughout Canada.

“We identified successful, privately-owned seed conditioning facilities and they joined as shareholders in our joint venture in Canada. The United States owns 51 percent of this venture, and it couldn’t have been a better fit for our future,” he said.

He indicated sales of Roundup Ready soybeans in Canada have exploded, due to early maturing soybeans, and the technology that benefits growers no matter where they are.

“We currently are the market share leader in western Canada, Lyle Marcus and have a real active presence in Quebec as well. We are fortunate to attract a large number of younger growers as dealers and that is very exciting going forward,” said Hogstad.

Growing beans in Canada Establishing brand recognition and a new product are the challenges of NorthStar Genetics in Canada.

“The response from Canadian producers has been great. It’s a new crop to many of those guys. So teaching them how to raise soybeans has been fun for our dealers and great sport for me and other agronomists within our organization,” says Lyle Marcus, product manager from Olivia, Minn.

Canadian farmers are interested in adding a new crop because diversity is often a key to financial success, explained Marcus.

“Because soybeans are a new crop to these guys it starts with teaching them how to grow the crop and then helping them figure out where to market this new crop. But you also include teaching on how to store the crop and how to harvest soybeans,” said Marcus.

“Don’t let the beans get too dry; don’t leave them standing too long in the field. It’s all that fun stuff that we guys with an agronomy background love to

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Model 935 Moisture Tester

teach to these new guys,” he said. “And they learn quickly.”

Marcus says Canadian producers swear by seed treatments because their soils warm slower.

“We’re virtually marketing everything with a fungicide, also much with an insecticide seed treatment.

Inoculants are big with the Canadian farmers. They want to increase nodulation on their soybean roots and thus create its own nitrogen,” he said.

Maturities range from early to almost ultra-early.

Relative maturities of 005s, 003s are typical along the Canadian border.

“We’ve also introduced a late triple 0 soybean. Test plot data is looking awesome so this new bean could be an ideal product,” Marcus said.

Marcus acknowledges the “big guys” are also in the Canadian market — DeKalb, Syngenta, DuPont Pioneer — national brands that have a national advertising and promotion program.

“We have an advertising campaign also plus our own magazine called Growing Soybeans which goes to as many growers as we can get on the mailing list,” he noted.

Seed costs have to be competitive. For example, Manitoba has become a mature market so the emphasis must be on the value of your product, said Marcus.

Canadian farmers are interested in the new herbicides that protect against weed resistance. Interest is strong in Extend and Enlist brands of soybeans which feature these new herbicides.

“Manitoba farmers are already seeing Roundup resistance water hemp. They know it’s going to keep coming into more and more of their geography, too.

They’re slow on going the residual herbicide route so we’re doing some educating to help them understand a residual will play an important role when using these new technologies,” Marcus said.

“That generates some push back because of the huge volume of acres that some of those guys run.

Getting these residuals in place takes time which they don’t often have enough of each spring.”

The farm size is comparable to the large North Dakota farms. That’s why bulk marketing vs. bags are used by those northern producers. In fact, true bulk is rapidly becoming the accepted transfer from seed dealer to all farmers.

“A dealer will have three to four bulk seed tanks holding upwards of 3,500 bushels (units). Say a farmer wants 1,000 units of seed. The dealer runs it through his seed treatment process directly into the farmer’s truck and away he goes,” said Marcus.

In the soybean business a unit is 140,000 seeds, not 50 pounds like it used to be. Farmers can buy seeds by weight or count. Seed costs in relation to last year are anywhere from $1.50 to $2 less, he said.

NorthStar Genetics is headquartered in Wanamingo, Minn. For 2016, the firm will be marketing 42 different soybean varieties in both Liberty Link and Genuity labels and with RMs ranging from 00.5 to 2.2. Visit www.northstargenetics.com to learn more. ❖

Long-time seed man talks traits, industry trends In regards to China’s flip-flop behavior on genetically modified organism vs. non-GMO grains, Thurston chuckled.

“That nation has a most unpredictable mind set,” he said. “Yet to sustain their huge population they have to import some of their foods and grains. World stocks of seeds and grains have built up considerably the past few years so the supply and demand equation is working against U.S. products right now, as is the stronger value of our U.S. dollar.”

Traits In view of differing public opinions on the value of GMO hybrids, Thurston said he doubts the industry will stop developing new traits.

“From a crop protection standpoint we’ve done extremely well in the plant science world on all crops, but that

doesn’t mean we rest on our laurels.

There’s always room for improvements,” he said. “The engines have been built; now it’s a matter of improving on them.

“You’ve got to come up with different traits primarily because Mother Nature is always challenging us. That said, I think there will be some totally new traits, like ‘energy traits’ that increase the feedstock value of the crop for new uses we don’t yet visualize. Or more feed value traits such as concentrating on higher proteins, or specific amino acids, or perhaps even certain pharmaceutical values which potentially might lessen the need for drugs and medicine.”

Keep your Thanksgiving dinner from going in garbage Thanksgiving will soon be upon us. This holiday causes me to reflect and be thankful for what I have. It also gets me thinking about what I take for granted on a daily basis that others would be grateful to have. One example of this is food. I have

enough food, and sometimes too much, which can cause me to waste it at times.

The average daily food waste in the United States in 2010 was 1.18 pounds of food per person. This leaves us plenty of room for improvement! I am going

to approach Thanksgiving being mindful of how much food my family is preparing. I also plan to use this holiday as an opportunity to reduce the amount of food we are wasting by following the tips below.

My four tips to reduce food waste at Thanksgiving: 1. Consider purchasing a turkey breast rather than an entire turkey. The turkey breast can be cooked in a shorter amount of time, is easier to cut and prepare, and results in fewer leftovers.

2. Keep your sides simple — less is more. Focus on two or three great side dishes rather than the “full spread.” This will save you time and stress. Three of my favorite side dishes come from Spend Smart. Eat Smart, a program of Iowa State University Extension and Outreach: • Zesty Whole Grain Salad: http://goo.gl/O28b8r • Easy Roasted Veggies: http://goo.gl/uReJMg • No Knead Whole Wheat Bread: http://goo.gl/nGfUBF 3. Pack up leftovers to eat later. For safety, leftovers should be chilled to below 40 F within two hours of when they finish cooking. If your family will eat the leftovers within four days, store them in the refrigerator. If you will not, freeze them. Click here for ideas for using that leftover turkey, pumpkin and chopped veggies.

4. Donate to those in need: Find your local food bank, and donate excess or unused food to those in need. Or even better yet, consider donating a few dollars to your local food bank or pantry. Have a happy, healthy Thanksgiving and enjoy doing more with less!

Thurston: Traits are ‘umbrella’ producers need how they can reduce their total production costs on a unit basis. These lower priced, non-GMO hybrids can be one alternative,” he said. “We’re seeing an increased demand for conventional corn hybrids. We don’t see this as a major trend line but we recognize it for what it is and will position ourselves in the market accordingly.”

Thurston pointed out the challenges of going into non-GMO crop production.

“It simply takes more total management. You’ll need a specific insecticide program; also weed control issues will be more of a challenge. Basically you’ll just have to do a better job day by day of observing and managing that corn and soybean crop,” he said.

Farmers are tremendously good at what they do these days and drones and aerial imagery will make them

even better, explained Thurston.

“But I think most sharp growers will agree the traits that come with their seed purchases are the umbrella they need for any potential slips in their own strategies,” Thurston said.

Global market Thurston doubts there will be an increase in U.S. corn acres for the 2016 season, mostly due to efficiencies of scale. Some growers are better at handling more acres, but some of these decisions are removed from growers.

“It’s what’s happening globally, especially as it relates to exports of U.S. corn and soybeans. Energy too is a big player. Some bio-traits get involved but mostly these perks are through specific genetics,” he said. “Already there are hybrids in the marketplace that are ‘energy driven’ because they

do produce a bit more alcohol.”

As far as government intrusions in the seed industry, it’s all relative according to Thurston who travels around the world.

“Compared with other countries, we’re blessed in the United States,” said Thurston. “Our government works with producers, with scientists, with us in the genetic world, with education and academics. I consider ourselves fortunate and don’t foresee any hurdles that we can’t overcome.”

Thurston acknowledges a handful of major players control the world seed industry, yet from a service, retail and distribution point of view, there are many brands in the marketplace that impact grower decisions.

“It’s a lot to ask of a farmer managing a lot of acres,” he said. “However, that doesn’t mean we give up on increasing feed values, whether for livestock feed or human usage.”

Grain Outlook Crop report bearish

Livestock Angles Meat prices volatile

Grain Angles Higher yields, lower prices

The following market analysis is for the week ending Nov. 13.

CORN — Corn began the week on a negative note of long liquidation prior to the U.S. Department of Agriculture report, pushed to new contract lows on report day, and spent the balance of the week consolidating. The main feature of the week was the Nov. 10 crop report which turned out to be much more bearish than anticipated. The 2015-16 balance sheet moved the corn yield to 169.3 bushels per acre, up 1.3 bu./acre from last month and just 1.7 bu./acre under last year’s record 171 bu./acre. Production was increased 99 million PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. bushels to 13.654 billion St. Paul bushels.

On the usage side, feed was raised 25 million, ethanol was surprisingly cut 75 million and exports were dropped by 50 million bushels for total demand decline of 100 million bushels. Ending stocks were up 199 million bushels from last month at 1.76 billion bushels compared to a 1.731 billion bushel carryout in 2014-15. The on-farm average price was cut from $3.50-$4.10 to $3.35-$3.95 per bushel.

The ending stocks to use ratio at 12.9 percent was a month-to-month increase of 1.6 percent. World ending stocks at 211.9 million metric tons was well above the 188.4 mmt estimate and last month’s 187.8 mmt number. The jump in world ending stocks came from the reduction in China’s domestic feed demand of 17 mmt for 2014-15 and a cut in 2015-16 feed demand of 7 mmt. China’s ending stocks rose

The one thing you can say about the livestock markets lately is there is no doubt that there is plenty of volatility in the price movement. For several weeks now both hog and cattle prices have been all over the place with an overall emphasis toward lower levels.

There is no reason at this point to think that this volatility will not remain for the foreseeable future.

The cattle market is still in a fierce battle between supply and demand. At this juncture it would appear that the demand is the evident factor in the direction of the market. Demand for beef continues to be weak despite the fact that the beef cutouts have JOE TEALE dropped well off their highs. All of Broker this price weakness despite the Great Plains Commodity fact that cattle numbers are relaAfton, Minn. tively tight.

It would seem that several factors will need to change for the cattle market to become more stable.

One thing is weights need to come down since the excessive weights continue to keep beef production too high which keeps the supply of beef more than adequate for the weak demand. With the competitive meats such as pork and chicken prices declining, the beef prices need to come down to stay competitive in this economic environment.

Therefore, producers should remain cognizant of market factors and stay current as possible until the cattle market stabilizes.

The hog market has continued to slide basically since the May highs to lows not seen for several years. The problem has been that numbers of hogs

U.S. Department of Agriculture reports were released Nov. 10. As always, these reports help shape farmers’, end users’, and commodity traders’ opinions on the market price of corn and other grains or oilseeds. Corn yield across the United States rose 1.3 bushels, to 169.3. This is the second-highest yield on record, and the third highest total U.S. corn production. Soybeans, at just under four billion bushels, are also at a record level of production for the United States.

Every producer likes to see big yield numbers, however, the large yield expectations have generated lower prices. The USDA low- KURT LENSING ered its corn farm price to $3.65 AgStar Assistant VP & on corn and $8.90 on soybeans for Industry Specialist Waite Park, Minn. the 2015 marketing year. These prices have caused some concern as the cost of production in many cases is much higher, resulting in losses.

We’ve been hearing a number of marketing professionals talk about our cost of production. Why all the talk?

To remain competitive in today’s market, understanding how your costs stack up to the competition may help you make better management decisions.

When we look at an individual’s farm cost, it’s important to look at them on a field-by-field basis or, at least, by enterprise. If we do not know which fields or enterprises are making us money, how can we make decisions on what to grow or what price we can afford to pay for rent?

Fortunately, many farmers’ cost of production was

January soybeans close lower for fourth week Soybeans need to balance thin pipelines with the knowledge the world has plenty of supply.

Next support under the contract low in the December contract is $3.46 3⁄4 per bushel. Resistance is this week’s high at $3.75 1⁄2 per bushel. December options expire Nov. 20.

Looking forward into next summer, any attempt over the $4.00 level may be difficult to maintain as that target is expected to attract bushels to the market.

SOYBEANS — January soybeans closed lower for the fourth week in a row after a bearish World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates crop report.

After setting a new contract low at $8.50 per bushel on the outcome of the USDA crop report, it spent the balance of the week within Wednesday’s trading range. The old adage of “big crops get bigger,” proved true when the USDA released the updated monthly crop report. Balance sheet changes for 2015-16 included a 1.1 bu./acre rise in yield to 48.3 bu./acre and a 93 million bushel addition to production to a record 3.981 billion bushels. New record yields were seen in Minnesota with 50 bu./acre, Iowa 56 bu./acre and Nebraska at 56 bu./acre.

On the usage side, the crush was upped 10 million, exports were raised 40 million to 1.715 billion bushels and residual usage grew by 3 million. The resulting ending stocks were 53 million bushels higher than last month at 465 million bushels. A stocks to use ratio of 12.4 percent is the highest since 2006-07. The average on-farm price fell 25 cents on both ends to $8.15-$9.65 per bushel. World ending soybean stocks were 82.9 mmt compared to the prereport guess of 85.2 mmt and last month’s 85.14 mmt. Argentina’s and Brazil’s 2015-16 production estimates were left alone at 57 mmt and 100 mmt respectively. Conab pegged Brazil’s crop in a record range of 101.2 to 102.8 mmt.

U.S. growers remain on the sidelines after the sharp sell-off and Argentine farmers are waiting to see the results of the Nov. 22 presidential run-off election to sell. The leading candidate Mauricio Macri seems determined to erase the 23 percent corn export tax, end export quotas and to cut the soybean export tax to 30 percent in 2016 and by five percent

per year thereafter. Brazilian bean planting was 50 percent complete as of Nov. 13 and Argentina at 20 percent complete with no red weather flags flying.

Weekly export sales were above expectations this week at 47.7 million bushels for this year and 900,000 bushels for next year. We are running 20 percent behind last year’s pace when the USDA’s outlook is for a 6.9 percent year-to-year decrease.

We need 15.9 million bushels of sales per week to make the USDA projection. Flash USDA sales to China this week totaled 426,000 metric tons. The trucker strike in Brazil that began Nov. 9 is not expected to last long. Some truckers were being issued tickets for blocking roads, with fines tripled.

Late in the week, there were only four blocked roads compared with 20 when the strike began.

Informa Economics’ latest soybean planted acreage number for 2016-17 is a record 85.3 million acres, up 2.1 million acres from this year. They are pegging production next year at 3.946 billion bushels, down from 35 million from this year’s 3.981 billion bushel crop. They are using a yield of 46.7 bu./acre, down from this year’s 48.3 bu./acre.

OUTLOOK: Soybeans need to balance thin pipelines with the knowledge the world has plenty of supply. Unless South America has a crop threat, upside may be limited and a lower leaning market is probable. Domestic basis should remain strong to attract nearby supplies. January soybeans settled the week at $8.55 1⁄4 per bushel, down 12 cents, the July contract at $8.68 1⁄4 was down 12 1⁄4 cents for the week and November 2016 soybeans dropped 5 1⁄4 cents to $8.74 per bushel. November soybeans expired on Nov. 13 at $8.59 per bushel. The October NOPA crush report will be released on Nov. 16 with the average estimate at 161 million bushels. The market is due for some degree of upside correction with first resistance at $8.72 and support at the contract low at $8.50 per bushel, then $8.43 per bushel. For now, the threat of increased bean sales

by Argentine farmers after the Nov. 22 elections may act as a limiting factor in any rally.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending Nov. 13: December Chicago wheat crashed 27 1⁄2 cents lower, Minneapolis retreated 14 1⁄2 cents lower and Kansas City collapsed 24 3⁄4 cents lower. December crude oil plunged $3.55 to $40.74, ultra-low-sulfur diesel declined nearly 11 cents, reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending fell 13 cents and natural gas was down just a penny for the week. ❖

Resources to manage by numbers LENSING, from pg. 18A lowered by an increase in yields. For example, if your APH is 180 and your costs of producing one bushel of corn is $4.15 a bushel or $747 per acre, what happens in a year like 2015 where you might average 200-bushel corn? Assuming costs are still $747 per acre and 200 bushels, your new cost of production is $3.74.

As you put your plans together for the 2016 marketing year, keep in mind there are multiple avenues for resources to help you manage by the numbers.

University Extension, Farm Business Management

courses, online software or mobile apps, and of course AgStarEdge.com all have resources to help you make management decisions on your farm.

NYSTROM, from pg. 18A from 90.61 mmt to 114.44 mmt. South American production forecasts were a mixed bag. The USDA is setting Argentine corn production at 25.6 mmt. The Rosario Grain Exchange’s outlook for Argentina is 20.2 mmt. The USDA is carrying Brazil at 81.5 mmt compared to Conab’s 82 mmt forecast.

On the sorghum balance sheet, exports were lowered by 105 million bushels, which countered the 25-million-bushel increase in feed/residual and 85-million-bushel rise in Feed, Seed and Industrial. The larger use is expected to replace corn in ethanol production.

Weekly export sales were delayed a day due to the mid-week government holiday. Sales were at the high end of expectations at 24.4 million bushels for this year and 900,000 bushels for next year. This year’s sales are trailing last year by 30 percent when the USDA is forecasting a 3.5 percent decline in year-on-year exports. We need to average 30.9 million bushels in sales every week for the remainder of the year to achieve the target, a number we’ve hit just once this marketing year.

Reports surfaced this week that China may consider exporting corn this year to try to solve their huge corn surplus problem. There was also talk that China will not allow off-grade corn to enter the reserve, pushing it into the feed channel. China also plans to cut corn production by 2020 to 175 mmt, down from the current 229 mmt, and decrease acreage by 20 percent.

The corn export line-up in Brazil is growing as the United States remains slightly uncompetitive to Brazil and Ukraine. However, there was talk that some corn could be switched from Brazil to the United States due to loading delays.

U.S. corn harvest as of Nov. 8 was 93 percent complete with Wisconsin still having 24 percent of their corn to harvest, Nebraska 13 percent, Iowa seven percent, South Dakota 11 percent, and North Dakota with nine percent still in the field.

Informa Economics released their 2016-17 planting outlook indicating corn acres next spring at 90.1 million acres, up 1.7 million acres from 2015-16.

Their production outlook is 13.972 billion bushels, up 318 million bushels from this year’s 13.654 billion bushel crop. They are projecting next year’s yield at 169.0 bu./acre vs. 169.3 bu./acre this year. Ending stocks for 2016-17 are expected at 1.8 billion bushels, up over 80 million bushels year-on-year.

OUTLOOK: December corn dropped 14 1⁄2 cents for the week to settle at $3.58 1⁄4 per bushel with a fresh contract low set at $3.56 per bushel. The July contract tumbled 16 3⁄4 cents to close at $3.77 and the December 2016 contract plunged 13 3⁄4 lower to close at $3.87 3⁄4 per bushel. This week’s sell-off was instigated by the bearish crop report after the market had been balancing weak demand vs. the need to keep at least minimum bushels in the pipeline. Basis levels responded by firming, but country movement was still just a trickle. It will eventually take some work by the board to improve flat prices to the point where the grower becomes re-engaged in selling.

However, as hog numbers available for slaughter decline, and with pork prices at lower levels in the supermarket as compared to beef prices, one would surmise that demand for pork will remain very good.

With profit margins narrowing for producers, one would suspect that the expansion of hog numbers will tighten in the months ahead.

The major problem for any long-term, sustained rallies will be the underlying economy. This could retard any major rallies in the hog market in the year ahead.

Producers should remain cognizant of market conditions and protect inventories as needed. ❖

USDA bean counters reduce milk production estimates This column was written for the marketing week ending Nov. 13.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture bean counters reduced their 2015 and 2016 milk production estimate in the latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report as “the dairy herd is expected to decline more rapidly from its second-quarter peak and growth in milk per cow in 2015 remains slower than expected.”

Production and marketings for 2015 were forecast at 208.7 billion pounds and 207.7 billion pounds respectively.

Both are down 200 million pounds from last month’s report. If realized, 2015 production and marketings would be up 2.7 million pounds or 1.3 percent from 2014.

Production and marketings for 2016 are projected at 212.9 and 212 billion

Strong domestic $15.80 per hundredweight, down from the $15.95 projected a month ago and compares to the record $22.34 in 2014 and $17.99 in 2013. The 2016 average is now pegged at around $15.15, down a nickel from last month’s prediction.

The Class IV milk price was raised for 2015 due to the stronger forecast butter price which more than offsets the lower NDM price. However, the 2016 Class IV price forecast was lowered as cheese and NDM forecasts were reduced.

The Class IV is expected to average $14.20 in 2015, up from $13.95 projected a month ago, and compares to $22.09 in 2014 and $19.05 in 2013. The 2016 Class IV average is put at $14.35, down a dime from last month’s expectation.

■ USDA’s Crop Production report forecast corn output to hit 13.7 billion bushels, up less than one percent from the October forecast, but down four percent from last year’s record. Based on Nov. 1 conditions, yields are expected to average 169.3 bushels per acre, up 1.3 bushels from the October forecast but 1.7 bushels below the 2014 average. If realized, this will be the second highest yield and third largest production on record for the United States. Area harvested for grain was forecast at 80.7 million acres, unchanged from October but down three percent from 2014.

Soybean production is forecast at a record 3.98 billion bushels, up two percent from October and up one percent from last year. Based on Nov. 1 conditions, yields are expected to average 48.3 bushels per acre, up 1.1 bushels from last month and up 0.8 bushel from last year. Area for harvest in the United States is forecast at 82.4 million acres, unchanged from last month’s report.

Cotton production is forecast at 13.3 million 480-pound bales, down less than one percent from last month and down 19 percent from last year. Yield is expected to average 782 pounds per harvested acre, down 56 pounds from last year.

FC Stone’s Dave Kurzawski says the Crop Production report was “bearish for both corn and soybeans with yield and production exceeding average trade guesses. U.S. and world corn carryout is also weighing.”

Penn State’s James Dunn wrote in his latest Dairy Outlook that “Soybean markets have changed very little because the harvest has progressed smoothly for most of the 2105 crop. The corn market has dropped a bit. World production of both was good this year, with no substantive changes since last year.”

“The world’s economies are mostly stagnant,” Dunn said, “with China and South Asia in the doldrums, the European Union struggling, and various local issues around the globe. Penn State’s measure of income over feed costs fell by 0.4 percent in October, as feed prices rose by more than milk prices, which rose by 1.1 percent.

“October’s feed cost is 17 cents per cow per day more than in September.

October’s value for IOFC of $7.49 per cow per day is slightly below the September value of $7.52, which was the highest in 2015. Income over feed cost reflects daily gross milk income less feed costs for an average cow producing 65 pounds of milk per day.

“The milk margin is the estimated amount of the Pennsylvania all milk price that remains after feed costs per hundredweight of milk production are paid. Like income over feed cost, this measure shows that the October Pennsylvania milk margin was 0.4 percent lower than in September,” Dunn writes.

■ Checking the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, cash cheese prices dropped the second week of November, ending two weeks of gain, as traders speculate if the Nov. 17 Global Dairy Trade auction will continue to slide. CME block Cheddar closed Nov. 13 at $1.62 per pound, down 8 cents on the week and 32.25 cents below a year ago when the blocks tumbled almost 26 cents. The Cheddar barrels plunged 18.25 cents this week, lowest price since Sept. 23 and 44.75 cents below a year ago when they lost 20.5 cents, and are a whopping 15.25 cents below the blocks. Six cars of block and 38 of barrel traded hands this week at the CME. See MIELKE, pg. 23A

Cheese barrel demand good; inventories long the next month.

Western cheese production is active with milk readily available. Retail and food service demand for block cheese is strong. Cheese makers say they are not building inventories of these types.

Demand for cheese barrels has also been relatively good, but some manufacturers mention inventories are long.

■ After gaining almost 47 cents in four weeks, spot butter traders took this week off. There were no sales, bids, or offers all week. The price continues to defy gravity, holding at $2.8850 per pound, hauntingly unchanged on the week, but an eye-catching 89.75 cents above a year ago.

From a historical perspective, if the price of cheese is falling, even modestly so at the end of National Pizza Month, it stands to reason more price weakness could be in the cards for the balance of the year.”

■ FC Stone’s Kurzawski said in Friday’s DairyLine

that butter demand is strong, while supply is “kind of weak,” at least for Double A salted butter. He added that even whole milk sales are up, which is lowering the fat supply, plus milk production is down in California, where a lot of butter is produced, so he believes the price will remain strong through Thanksgiving.

Prices have been up and down, he said, “so this isn’t anything new,” though he speculates if prices fell to the $1.30 or $1.40s, that would be new territory for the year but he doesn’t expect that. He said we saw a bit of a pullback this week but he thinks it’s possible for a bounce to the upside next week or after Thanksgiving.

Looking globally, Fonterra reported earlier in the week that it is removing another 20,000 tons (5.14 percent) of NFDM from the 12-month forecasted volumes to be offered on the GDT, dropping the volume to 369,380 tons. Fonterra blamed expected milk collections from their farmers to be down five percent for the season.

When asked if that will be bullish for Tuesday’s GDT, Kurzawski said, while a previous reduction in August was bullish, he’s not sure it will do that this time, but he does expect a little more stability. He said it’s worth noting that Fonterra believes milk production will be down that much.

“It’s not a reason for the prices to go up a whole lot right now,” he concluded, “because we have a lot of inventory globally, but it will probably slow any kind of decline.”

Spot Grade A nonfat dry milk finished at 80 cents per pound, down a penny on the week and 38 cents below a year ago. Three cars were sold this week.

■ On farm milk production is variable throughout the country, according to Dairy Market News. Florida producers report unseasonably warm temperatures are moderating the usual strong start to the new production season, but milk production is increasing.

Texas and New Mexico output is also on the rise.

Seasonal production of flavored milks, eggnog starting cheese milk price was down 19 cents from September, $6.19 below October 2014, and 71 cents below the Federal order Class III despite the adjustment on whey mandated by the California Department of Food and Agriculture.

The Milk Producers Council’s Rob Vandenheuvel pointed out in his Nov. 6 newsletter that the October 4b price was actually 25 cents/cwt. lower under the temporary adjustment than it would have been had CDFA not acted.

He explains that “Under the previous calculation, there was a ceiling and a floor in the dry whey portion of the 4b price. In other words, the calculation made sure that dry whey market prices

never impacted the Class 4b final price by: 1) more than 75 cents/cwt.; or 2) less than 25 cents/cwt.

The new temporary calculation of the Class 4b price still contains a ceiling and a floor, but the ceiling is at $2.005/cwt. and the floor is at $0/cwt.

“While many folks might not have noticed this change in the floor at the time, dry whey prices have significantly dropped this year, even since the hearing results were announced in July,” he wrote.

THE NEW CHAPTER IN LAGOON BOATS

THE CRAWLER!

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

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

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

The Nuhn Lagoon Crawler does not need a priming system.

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

to request re-calculation of the 2015 ARC-CO payments.

A producer can find out the 2015 benchmark yields for corn and soybeans, which will be used to calculate 2015 ARC-CO payments, and will be used to determine maximum payment levels.

The safest choice for 2015 is probably to request that the crop base acres be re-calculated based on the physical location of the land, unless a farm operator is fairly certain that the administrative county will have a lower 2015 yield than the other counties that have FSA crop base acres.

All eligible persons receiving farm program payments must agree to the decision to re-calculate ARC-CO payments on FSA farm units.

In most cases, this will not be an issue for 2014 ARC-CO payments, since the advantage of re-calculating the payments is fairly straight-forward. The decision could be a bit more tricky for 2015 ARC-CO payments where there is significantly more uncertainty.

The bottom line is that the decision to re-calculate 2014 and 2015 ARC-CO payments will not affect a large percentage of farm operators. However, for those producers that are affected, it is a very important decision that could have a significant financial impact, especially on 2014 ARC-CO payments. Farm operators are encouraged to contact their local FSA office for more details.

THIESSE, from pg. 28A can make is to have the 2014 and 2015 ARC-CO payments re-calculated based on the physical location of the individual farm units. They cannot switch administrative counties, and they cannot reconstitute (split apart) their farm units. These choices can be made for the 2016-18 crop years at certain times that are specified by FSA offices.

The 2014 decision to re-calculate ARC-CO payments is separate and independent from the 2015 decision.

Farm operators could decide to have their 2014 ARC-CO payments re-calculated, but not their 2015 ARC-CO payments, or vice versa. The situations for 2014 and 2015 ARC-CO payments are somewhat different, so farm operators should analyze the situation quite carefully.

The decision to re-calculate potential 2015 ARC-CO payments is much more variable.

Similar to the 2014 crop year, there will likely be significant corn and soybean ARC-CO payments in many areas of the United States, due to the expected lower 2015 MYA prices, compared to the 2015 corn and soybean benchmark prices, which will be the same as 2014. Once again for 2015, there will likely be a big difference from county to county in the level of potential 2015 ARC-CO payments for corn and soybeans, depending on the final 2015 actual yields compared to the five-year benchmark yields. The problem is that we will not know the final 2015 county average yields until late February or early March, 2016, which is after the Feb. 1, 2016, deadline

College scholarships available for Minnesota ag leaders ST. LOUIS, Mo. — Applications are now being accepted for the 2016 America’s Farmers Grow Ag Leaders program. Sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, the program will provide over $500,000 in college scholarships across rural America next spring to support the next generation of agriculture. Last year, Minnesota students were awarded nearly $29,000 in scholarships.

Under the program, now in its second year, $1,500 scholarships are awarded to high school and college students pursuing ag-related degrees. Because farmers are the heart of the industry, applicants must obtain endorsements from at least three local farmers to be considered.

Grow Ag Leaders is designed to encourage rural youth to remain in agriculture and to help them develop the skills needed to fill thousands of jobs in a variety of fields — including farming, agronomy, education, engineering, business management and many more.

Many of the past recipients are not waiting until after they graduate to begin their ag careers.

Instead, they are already actively engaged in their field of interest. Examples include a future agriculture teacher who developed an agri-science camp to educate her peers on ag literacy and a farm and ranch management major who maintains 240 acres of wheat while earning his degree.

Bethany Erickson of Roseau, Minn., stays involved in her family’s farm while she is pursuing her degree at North Dakota State University and is excited to begin her career in agronomy.

“What I like most about agriculture is that it is an absolute necessity for everyone,” said Erickson.

“With our growing population, it’s increasingly apparent that the industry is more important than ever and I want to be a part of its future. I played an integral role on my family farm growing up. That experience ignited my passion for ag. ” With 57,900 average annual job openings in agriculture and only 35,400 college graduates expected to fill them, there is a great opportunity for students considering careers in this rapidly growing industry. Grow Ag Leaders depends on farmer participation to help identify talented young people for those positions.

Since 2014, the Grow Ag Leaders program has awarded over $600,000 in scholarships to rural students across the

country. Recipients are chosen based on academic achievement, leadership skills, community service and commitment to agriculture. Scholarships are administered by the National FFA Organization, but applicants need not be FFA members to apply. Nov. 15 through Feb. 1, 2016, students can apply online at FFA.org/scholarships. For more information, visit GrowAgLeaders.com, and follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Grow Ag Leaders is part of the America’s Farmers initiative. Since 2010, the America’s Farmers campaign and programs have advocated on behalf of farmers and their efforts to meet society’s needs through agriculture. The America’s Farmers campaign highlights the importance of modern U.S. agriculture through communications and community outreach programs that partner with farmers to impact rural America.

Productivity, profitability key to conservation initiative MANKATO, Minn. — The AgStar Fund for Rural America has awarded a $30,000 grant to the Minnesota Working Lands Conservation Partnership in an effort to help improve profitability, productivity and environmental outcomes for farmers and communities in three to five key watersheds. This partnership puts farmers at the forefront to drive positive change in the food and agriculture system.

“AgStar is proud to support and launch this initia-

tive with AgriGrowth and AGree,” said Rod Hebrink, President and CEO of AgStar Financial Services.

“This initiative provides the tools for our client producers to develop and understand watershed technologies, data and best practices.”

The MWLCP will select several key pilot watersheds in Minnesota over the coming months. Partners will focus on engaging farmers and the supply chain on a watershed level to develop grassroots solutions to water quality concerns, establishing metrics for measuring sustainability, and positioning farmers to increase on-farm productivity. The MWLCP will work collectively at the watershed level to understand natural resource systems and how they respond to agronomic practices, systems and technologies. This initiative is producer-led, watershed-based, and supply chain focused.

AgStar’s corporate giving program, the AgStar Fund for Rural America, awards grants to organizations or programs that support its mission of “enhancing life in agriculture and rural America”.

MWLCP’s plan to put a watershed initiative in the hands of farmers to drive meaningful improvements in water quality does just that.

“This grant is a great opportunity for the AgriGrowth Council to kick off this work in partnership with AGree,” said Joe Martin, MWLCP Project Director. “We are grateful for this investment by AgStar, as we launch this project to develop grassroots solutions to water quality issues at a local level, and examine sustainability and on-farm profitability.”

Since its inception in 2001, the AgStar Fund has donated over $5 million to organizations in communities that work to improve the future of rural America.

AgStar Financial Services, ACA, headquartered in Mankato, is part of the national Farm Credit System.

Since 2011, AGree has met with and convened more than 2,000 leaders in food and agriculture and related sectors to better understand the challenges and opportunities facing the food and agriculture system. Visit www.foodandagpolicy.org to learn more.

Minnesota harvest and fieldwork were wrapping up during the 4.5 days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending Nov. 15, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Field activities for the week included tilling, applying anhydrous and fertilizers, spreading manure, and repairing drainage systems.

Livestock were doing well with the warmer than normal temperatures. Some producers were weaning calves and moving cattle to winter lots.

Topsoil moisture supplies were rated one percent very short, 11 percent short, 81 percent adequate, and seven percent surplus. Subsoil moisture supplies were rated three percent very short, 18 percent short, 76 percent adequate, and three percent surplus.

Corn harvest for grain was nearly complete, one week ahead of the five-year average. Areas of east central Minnesota lagged behind due to fields getting too wet to harvest.

Iowa Harvest activities and fall tillage were nearing completion, while some tiling, terracing, and fertilizer applications continued during the week ending Nov. 15, according to the USDA NASS. Statewide there were 4.7 days suitable for fieldwork, down nearly a full day from the previous week due to a storm system that moved through Iowa on Wednesday, bringing precipitation and high winds. Activities for the week included harvesting corn for grain, hauling and spreading manure, and anhydrous application.

Topsoil moisture levels rated zero percent very short, eight percent short, 85 percent adequate, and seven percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated

merica bison once roamed across most of Minnesota.

According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, bison herds numbered between 30 and 60 million head in North America. Hunted to near extinction by the late 1800s, the last wild bison observed in Minnesota was in Norman County in 1880.

Now you can see the magnificent beasts once again at Minneopa State Park in Blue Earth County.

On Sept. 25, 11 genetically rare bison were released into the park in an effort to expand the Minnesota Conservation Bison Herd.

Minnesota DNR and the Minnesota Zoo are working together to preserve the American bison. The herd will be grown from the 90bison herd at Blue Mounds State Park near Luverne, Minn., where bison were reintroduced in 1961, to 500 head.

These bison are considered genetically rare because testing shows they are free of genetic material from cross-breeding with cattle. Of the more than 500,000 bison in North America, less than 30,000 fit in this category.

The bison at Minneopa State Park include cow-calf pairs and yearling bison heifers; some of the cows are bred and will calve next spring. Eventually the herd will grow to 30-40 bison, according to the DNR. Minneopa State Park is located off U.S. Highway 169 and State Highway 68, five miles west of Mankato. You can drive through the bison range to view the bison.

Bison Drive winter hours are 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday-Sunday or as staffing allows. Bison Drive will be closed on winter holidays and during weather events like heavy rain or snowfall. Gates close daily at 3:30 p.m. sharp.

Mom’s barber shop open for clipping, conversation me more than I ever imagined in terms of cultivating important relationships. It happened 20 minutes at a time and all it cost us was a hair clipper. I have been truly grateful. There are lessons in hard times.

These days I spend time hoping their haircuts

don’t look like a corn head actually did the job.

Maybe it’s why they all wear their caps so faithfully.

One of the first things a farm family learns is that they need to stockpile the cash reserves — if there are any — whenever they can. Sooner or later we all find out that livestock and grain prices can fall. They can fall hard and they can fall fast.

We first experienced the crunch in the 1990s when hog prices went through the floor.

TABLE TALK When examining the bills and

By Karen Schwaller the checkbook, there was no questioning that we had to cut back. One of the first things that had to go was haircuts in town.

I had never cut anyone’s hair. The very thought of doing it myself was a little hair-raising, but I figured if my husband wasn’t afraid of looking like Lyle Lovett did back then, I should not fear the process either. And so I plowed ahead.

I took our two toddler sons to town to get their last paid hair cut from a professional. I brought bags of fruit snacks with me because, of course, they needed something to occupy themselves since they couldn’t pretend to be farming while they were sitting in the chair.

The barber clipped and visited while I watched what he was doing. I paid the man, said good-bye and left there for the last time, hoping I had it figured out.

Our boys were small enough that their first haircuts were in booster chairs on top of the kitchen table. A towel and clothespin served as the haircut apron, and a package of fruit snacks deemed them oblivious to what was really going on. (It seemed a better option than a hairy lollipop.)

Of course our sons, being very young farm children, loved to talk about the farm. One of them, in his very young home haircut days, watched as I put the clipper head on the clipper and told me, “That looks like a corn head.”

Well, of course it did.

Right from the mind of a farm kid; to this day when I put it on the clipper, I always think of it looking like a corn head.

The home haircuts continued over the years and they moved off of the kitchen table. A few years later when that same son got a little older and it was time for prom, he once again found himself in the home barber’s chair. We were chatting and catching up on his life — when I dropped the clippers onto the cement floor.

“That thing better still work,” he said firmly, imagining having to face his prom date with half of a haircut.

Luckily for all of us, it did keep working.

The years have passed, and I have visited with all of our guys about the farm and their dreams; I’ve heard and talked about their problems, and laughed and listened to their jokes and life stories they have shared with me. I look forward to that one-on-one time spent together.

Recently our sons came over for their post-harvest ’do. The back door popped open and I heard a familiar voice yelling, “Mom? Is the barber shop open?”

It’s the one good thing I can attribute to the hog market decline of the 1990s. Lack of funding made me hone a new skill and, in exchange, it gave back to

Animal lover shares wisdom on contented critters What makes your pet happy?

Throw a toy, and find out. Go for a run, sneak a snack, sit quietly with warm blanket and firm scratch, even watching TV can put a smile on Scruffy’s face because it’s all about being with you. But if you still need ideas, “Do Unto Animals” by Tracey Stewart has them for you.

If it’s possible, Stewart loved animals before she was even born: pictures exist of her heavily-pregnant mother with family pets. Animals always surrounded Stewart and when she was a child, she wondered if she could make a living through her love of them. After a few life-detours — including different jobs and men other than the one she’s married to now — she does.

A dog was Stewart’s first love; he was a rescue bully-breed but she says she’s not sure who rescued who, in this situation. A dog has always been “my four-footed soother, my crutch …

my confidant, my best friend…”

“If guardian angels really exist, mine don’t have wings. They have wagging tails, soft pink bellies, and terrible breath,” she wrote.

her children act as champions of cats needing homes. And that’s a good way to help animals; if you can’t have one, virtually adopt one.

Just because an animal doesn’t sleep in your house doesn’t mean there’s nothing you can do for it. Your backyard is full of what Stewart calls “The Landscaping Team, Pest Control Team and Cleanup Crew.”

And if you live on or near a farm, she says you should visit a barn often.

Cows and pigs are no dummies, and there’s a lot to learn on the back (or front) of a horse.

Other things you can do for animals — learn animal massage. Visit a shelter and adopt a mutt. Don’t believe everything you’re told about pit bulls or black cats. Remember that bugs and

worms are friends. Know how to help an injured animal. And this year, change a tradition; your family’s holiday menu doesn’t have to have a turkey on it.

It’s a good thing animals can’t buy books. We should all be glad they can’t read, either, because if they could, they’d want to go live with author Tracey Stewart.

But here’s the thing: there really isn’t anything new inside “Do Unto Animals” — it’s just all framed differently.

Lovers of the four-footed already know how to pet a dog well. We’re aware of spay-neuter programs, that bees are dying off, and that livestock have personalities. Here, though, Stewart reminds us of these things in a shoulder-bumping, almost affectionate way.

And besides, it’s hard not to be thoroughly smitten with an author who makes up dog breeds.

A “White-Bibbed Snuggler,” indeed.

For animal lovers, “Do Unto Animals” is an easy, enjoyable read — maybe a twice-read. It might teach you something, and if it doesn’t, well, so what?

This book about making contented critters will make you pretty happy, too.

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 3 years old and never goes anywhere without a book. She lives in Wisconsin with three dogs and 10,000 books. ❖
