Letter: Time for Al-Corn exit plan 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.

HAGEN, from pg. 2 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

OPINION

When I returned to my boarding house after sharing turkey with ducks and geese, a note taped to the my door informed me that “I need you to milk in morning. Pick U up at 4. Will get you to bus in time.

Wayne.”

Wayne, too, was my boss, he managed the university’s dairy, so at 4 am the next day I was on the porch waiting for my ride to milk cows for another four hours.

True to his word, though, Wayne had me home in time to shower and change clothes, then drive me to the bus station to catch my ride. (He also fell asleep on my sofa — cow-enhanced coveralls and all — as he waited for me to get ready.)

An hour later my girlfriend and her chaperone brother (oh, brother) met me at the end of the line to take me to their hometown and the big party. Her eyes sparkled brighter than the snow that blanketed the Illinois prairie that day and her smile warmed me like no fire ever could or ever would.

That was 40 years ago this week and the lovely Catherine, she of the sparkling eyes and heart-melting smile, and I — cows and snowstorms and an occasional bus ride notwithstanding — have spent every Thanksgiving together since.

Lucky, thankful me.

Mikkelson further questioned the fact that as an ag producer, he can only release half inch of water per day while the City of Mankato can release two inches of rain per hour through its storm drainage.

“Mankato dumps more water in the Minnesota River in one hour than the rest of the county does,” said Mikkelson.

“In a high flow situation,” Stowe responded.

An audience member noted that Mankato has 99 storm water ponds to collect water to be released on low release rates.

Mikkelson said that only three to four inches go down the river each year from his tiling system. He holds a permit for a tiling system designed to release only a half-inch of water per day.

Mankato dumps more water in the Minnesota River in one hour than the rest of the county does.

In a high flow situation.

— Bill Stowe consumers from surface waters in agricultural watersheds. The more difficult and costly water issues to treat are nutrient related — nitrate, phosphorus and ammonia.

“Our consumers are paying to clean the water that’s a cost of production upstream,” said Stowe.

Stowe said he understands tiling is necessary to make agricultural land productive. The consequence is that tiling in Iowa is increasing water quantity while reducing water quality, and the result is that tiling is bringing more water, more quickly and laterally into surface waters in the state, he said.

The water released by the drainage districts cited in the lawsuit only have an agricultural source — no suburban lawns, golf courses or geese to skew results, Stowe said. Intensive testing for a year ng ci u d tro In

showed that outlets were discharging water in 20 to 40 parts per million on a regular basis, with a couple 70 parts per million, he noted.

“We have every intent of holding them accountable for downstream consequences,” said Stowe.

The cost, he said, is being pushed downstream. The cost to run the nitrate removal facility in 2014-15 was $1,500,000 compared to $908,700 in 2013. The price tag for a new facility is $76 to $183 million.

Mikkelson said he plans to follow up with Des Moines Water Works to better learn where the water is being sampled and how it is being tested. He said that he is also testing the water coming out of his own tile system.

“Our tiles aren’t that bad of water,” said Mikkelson. “We’re running at four parts per million. I don’t think our city sewer is doing that well.”

After the nitrogen is removed from drinking water, the utility has a permit to dump the nitrogen back into the river downstream. Mikkelson noted that he had read the utility dumps 25,000 tons of nitrogen per year back into the river. Stowe said that number may well be accurate.

“We are seeing millions of tons coming by us,” said Stowe.

According to a document on the Des Moines nitrate removal facility, returning the nitrate to the river does not impact the nitrate load. As an example, the daily nitrate load in the Raccoon River can approach 700 tons; of this amount, less than 0.1 percent would pass through the nitrate removal facility and be returned to the river. The bigger problem, according to Stowe, is the salt that goes into the watershed as salt is used in the nitrate removal process and salt is hard on aquatic systems.

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

Minnesota The Minnesota Department of Agriculture’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.

gen 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 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. Plus, 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 million for a three-year pilot project to quantify infield activities focused on improving water quality.

Gov. Branstad and Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey said the con-

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, nitro-

Field pennycress showing ‘bridge crop’ potential

See PENNYCRESS, pg. 10 Photos courtesy of Minn. Agricultural Experiment Station

University of Minnesota researcher Don Wyse examines the growth of field pennycress seeded in a soybean field. Field pennycress has the potential to be not just a soil-saving cover crop but a cash crop as well.

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 co-director of the center.

Development of FPC 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 deter-

mine 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 nonlodging, 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 place. It will also build organic matter. When growth starts again it will continue to provide those services.

THE LAND, NOVEMBER 27, 2015

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 is 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 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

PENNYCRESS, from pg. 9 “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 nitrogen 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.”

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.

“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.

Initiative maps 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 publiclyfunded 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.

tems, technologies and breeding to rapidly upgrade their overall impact into world seed markets.

“Europe still lags in accepting many of these technologies and that is why getting some of these new seed products into the European market is not yet happening,” he said.

Thurston said he thinks the European reluctance is political and cultural.

“There’s nothing scientific that says they should stay where they’re at on these genetic issues. The EU apparently both culturally and politically speaking has chosen this path of not accepting bio-technology. That’s their choice but we see no evidence to support that mind frame,” he said.

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 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.”

The challenge in introducing new traits is maintaining the productivity of the crop when planted in a farmer’s field, explained Thurston. Farmers also consider identity preservation in choosing seeds. IP is the production, handling and marketing practices

that maintain the integrity and purity of ag commodities.

“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.”

With rising seed prices and more public discussions on non-GMO foods, Thurston sees a growing market in the development of non-GMO seeds especially if depressed commodity market prices remain.

“Growers are continually assessing 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 an increase in U.S. corn acres for the 2016 season, mostly due to efficiencies of scale. 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,” he said.

Government intrusions in the seed industry is relative, said Thurston, who travels 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.”

Mom’s barber shop open for clipping, conversation 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 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.

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 secondhighest 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.

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 lowered by an increase in yields. For example, if See LENSING, pg. 16

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 Afton, Minn. fact that cattle numbers are relatively 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

The following market analysis is for the week ending Nov. 20.

CORN — December corn eased higher last week, but traded in a tight range from $3.57 1⁄4 to $3.66 1⁄2 per bushel. It closed a nickel higher for the week at $3.63 1⁄4 per bushel. The July contract moved 3 3⁄4 cents higher to settle at $3.80 3⁄4 and the December 2016 contract was 3 1⁄2 cents higher at $3.91 1⁄4 per bushel. In general, it was an extremely dull week with fresh news at a premium. The December contract continues to trade in the range that was set on the day of the Nov. 10 crop report.

PHYLLIS NYSTROM U.S. corn is becoming more comCHS Hedging Inc. St. Paul petitive on the export side. Offers out of Brazil are non-existent, January forward and Ukrainian numbers have been declining.

Mexico stepped in to buy 952,000 metric tons of U.S. corn for this marketing year and 488,000 metric tons for the 2016-17 marketing year. The large purchase was thought to be one end user covering their needs for the year at a price they found attractive.

Weekly export sales were the highest since the start of the marketing year at 30.7 million bushels.

This was the first week this year that the weekly number met what is needed to meet the U.S. Department of Agriculture projection. Total export commitments are still running 30 percent behind last year when the USDA’s projection is for a three percent decline year-on-year. Weekly sales need to average almost 31 million bushels per week to hit the USDA target of 1.8 billion bushels.

Weekly soybean exports higher than expected NYSTROM, from pg. 15 Brazil’s corn vessel export line-up is a record 7.6 million metric tons after rain delays at a couple of ports. This line-up needs to get addressed so the ports can gear up for the January/February soybean export program.

U.S. barge freight slipped below 300 percent to its lowest level since the spring of 2013 on waning demand. On the Illinois River, the 270 percent level is thought to be the breaking point where barges will begin to be tied off. The cheaper freight has resulted in slightly higher basis levels and will temper any ideas of deliveries against the December contract when first notice day rolls around on Dec. 1.

Weekly ethanol production fell 7,000 barrels per day to 975,000 bpd. Ethanol production will usually increase into December before trending lower through the winter and into the spring. Ethanol stocks rose from 792 million gallons to 809 million gallons with zero exports for the week. This was the highest level of stocks since July. Since the start of the marketing year, the annualized grind has been at a rate for 5.235 billion bushels compared to the USDA forecast for 5.175 billion bushels. The Environmental Protection Agency is expected to release the 2014-16 blending levels under the Renewable Fuels Standard by the end of the month.

The October Cattle on Feed report was neutral.

The number on feed was 102 percent of last year, placements were 96 percent and marketings were 97 percent of last year. The Commitment of Traders report as of Nov. 17 showed a bearish slant with large traders net long shrinking and the managed money and large reportable traders going from net

long to net short. The International Grains Council cut their world corn production by 2.4 mmt to 967.3 mmt which is 4.5 percent lower than last year’s record.

OUTLOOK: The first line of support in the December contract is the contract low at $3.56 per bushel, then $3.46 3⁄4 per bushel based on the continuous chart. Resistance lies at $3.75 1⁄2 per bushel. Many question whether we can see futures above $4.00 this winter. The question to ask is, why should we?

Something significant may need to happen for prices to revisit that level, i.e. weather in South America, something on the geopolitical scene, or a surprise pop in demand. The increasing fund short may prompt a degree of short covering, but a pop higher would likely be met with grower selling. The markets will be closed on Nov. 26 for Thanksgiving and reopen on Friday, Nov. 27. The Chicago Board of Trade will close at 12:05 p.m. central time on Friday.

SOYBEANS — January soybeans played in a small 16 1⁄4 cent range for the week with China’s purchase of 180,000 metric tons of U.S. beans giving the market a boost to begin the week. January soybeans closed up 2 1⁄4 cents at $8.57 1⁄2 per bushel for the week. This was the first higher weekly close after four lower weekly closes and like the December corn, it continues to trade in the range set the day of the Nov. 10 crop report. The deferred contracts fared a little better with the July contract rallying 4 1⁄4 cents to $8.72 1⁄2 and the November 2016 beans up 4 1⁄2 cents at $8.78 1⁄2 per bushel.

Weekly export sales were 66 million bushels, much higher than estimates and the best in three weeks.

Total export commitments are 17 percent behind last year. The USDA’s latest forecast calls for a seven percent reduction in exports year on year. Sales need to average 14.8 million bushels per week to achieve the USDA’s outlook for 1.715 billion bushels. China stepped in to buy 180,000 metric tons of U.S. beans this week and unknown bought 12,000 metric tons that will show up in next week’s report.

The October National Oilseed Processors Association crush report was a record at 158.9 million bushels, but slightly less than expectations for 161 million bushels. Of interest locally on the report, crushing in the Minn./S.D./N.D. region jumped the old record by 9.4 percent to a record monthly crush of 17.6 million bushels. National Agricultural Statistics Service’s monthly crush report will be released Dec. 1.

Margins narrow for hog farmers TEALE, from pg. 15 were more than adequate to meet the packers demand.

With the profit margins expanding to very wide levels, the packers increased the kills to take advantage of the profitable situation. This put excessive pork available and live prices began to decline. With the increased supply of pork available, there was no where to go but to lower prices paid for live inventory by the packers.

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. ❖

The October National Oilseed Processors Association crush report was a record at 158.9 million bushels, but slightly less than expectations for 161 million bushels. soybean planting at 31 percent complete with acreage forecast at 19.8 million hectares. The Ag Ministry is pegging acreage at 20.6 million hectares and the USDA is using 20 million hectares. South American weather for now is moot, although some are concerned with pockets in Brazil that are either too wet or too dry. At present, there is no major threat to the crop in South America. Looking ahead to the 2016-17 growing season in the United States, it’s too early to forecast below average trend yields based on this year’s strong El Nino. According to weather analysts, in three of the last five strong El Nino years, the following growing season did not produce severely hot and dry conditions. But again, conditions can change quickly and it’s just too early to have confidence in growing season outlooks.

OUTLOOK: Soybean action was slow this week ahead of the presidential election in Argentina Nov. 22 and the upcoming short Thanksgiving trading week. The question whether the market has already built in an increase in Argentine selling, will be answered when the ballots are counted. Will the campaign promises be delivered? If yes, how quickly?

Will Argentine farmers respond with a surge in selling? The new President won’t take office until Dec. 10, so no changes will happen until then. The market is due for some degree of upside correction with first resistance at $8.72 per bushel. Next support is seen in the $8.25 per bushel area, but lower prices are possible with ample world supplies and questionable demand.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending Nov. 20: December Chicago wheat fell 7 1⁄4 cents to $4.88 1⁄2, Minneapolis rallied 5 1⁄4 cents to $5.09 1⁄2 and Kansas City dropped 8 1⁄2 cents to $4.57 per bushel. December crude oil was 35 cents lower at $40.39 per barrel, ultra-low-sulfur diesel declined a penny, reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending gained over five cents and natural gas dove nearly 22 cents lower. The U.S. dollar index pushed 0.567 higher for the week. ❖

Decision will be for all crops, units THIESSE, from pg. 17 payment on any soybean base acres. If the farm operator had County B as an administrative county, requesting FSA to recalculate the 2014 ARC-CO payments, would allow that farm operator to receive the 2014 soybean ARC-CO on the soybean base acres in County A, or $13,800. There would still be no ARCCO payments on soybean base acres in County B. This example is not likely to affect corn payments as much as soybean payments in Minnesota and other parts of the Upper Midwest, since most counties received the maximum 2014 ARC-CO payment.

This example will likely affect corn payments in Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana, and other Eastern Corn Belt states, where 2014 corn yields where higher and more variable.

• Variation in maximum payment levels from county to county.

As mentioned, farm operators in many counties in Minnesota and other Upper Midwest states received the maximum level of ARC-CO payments on their corn base acres for 2014; however, there was a difference in what the maximum payment level was from county to county, which could affect the total ARCCO payments that a producer received.

Assume that County A received $75 per corn base acre 2014 ARC-CO payment, while County B (neighboring county) received $67 per corn base acre. If the farm operator had 500 acres of corn base acres in each county, and had County A as an administrative county, they would have received $75 per corn base acre on all 1,000 acres. However, if they had County B as an administrative county, they received $67 per corn base acre on the entire 1,000 acres. If the farm operator had County B as an administrative county, requesting FSA to re-calculate the 2014 ARC-CO payments, would allow that farm operator to receive an additional $8 per corn base acre on the base acres in County A, or a total of $4,000. There would be no additional corn ARC-CO payments in County B. The decision will be for all crops and for all affected FSA farm units.

Farm operators cannot select certain crops or certain FSA farm units for re-calculation of 2014 ARCCO payments. If a producer has corn, soybean, and wheat base acres, all crops will be affected. It is important to keep that in mind when calculating the potential benefits from the re-calculation of farm program payments. There could be a gain of payments for one crop and a loss of payments for another crop.

Farm operators cannot switch their FSA administrative county or change farm units.

The only choice that a farm operator 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

THIESSE, from pg. 18 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 Once again for ARC-CO payments in 2015, there will many areas of the likely be a big United States, due to difference from the expected lower 2015 MYA prices, county to county compared to the 2015 in the level of corn and soybean benchpotential 2015 mark prices, which will ARC-CO paybe the same as 2014. ments for corn Once again for 2015, there will likely be a big and soybeans... 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 to request re-calculation of the 2015 ARCCO 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-calcu-

Dairy farmers face legal attack on water quality issues This column was written for the marketing week ending Nov. 20.

Falling fluid sales are the least of dairy farmer woes. Besides falling milk prices, the courts are being readied again. You’ll recall that,

earlier this year, a Federal judge in Washington state handed down a ruling that will have ramifications for agriculture across the country that involved several Yakima Valley dairy operations that were sued

under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. The judge ruled that any applied manure not taken up by plants would be considered “illegal dumping” and included theoretic leakage of lagoons.

Those dairies settled out of court but this issue is far from over.

MIELKE MARKET WEEKLY I talked about it in Friday’s DairyLine with Gerald Baron

By Lee Mielke of Bellingham, Wash., who is a consultant and executive director of Whatcom Family Farmers, a group formed in Whatcom County, located 100 miles north of Seattle and one of the country’s top 20 milk producing counties.

Baron reported that the same attorneys who pressed the case in eastern Washington have turned their attention to Whatcom County and plan legal filings against dairy operations there.

The attorneys “have an agenda that is very much against dairy farming,” Baron charged, and he quoted from a transcript from the lead attorney who warned “We are going to put the facts before this court that is going to change the way that business is done in this country because this industry is killing this country in many different ways. It’s affecting public health. I don’t want to overstate that it’s killing but it’s affecting public health and sometimes does cause spontaneous abortions in pregnant women and in their own cattle if those nitrates are ingested and it causes a significant impact to the environment.”

Baron said anyone who is in farming knows that there’s an impact on the environment but “in Whatcom County in particular, farmers have done an outstanding job following the 1998 Dairy Nutrient Management Act, with careful stewardship of the environment and protecting water and it’s really upsetting to see this kind of attack on dairy.”

Baron says the group wants farmers and the agriculture industry to watch what is happening in Whatcom County and to “help combat this very serious threat.” He said that all local farmers are involved in this effort — dairy, berry, and potato farmers — to “help protect farming and to help preserve a future for farming.” For more details, visit www.whatcomfamilyfarmers.org.

■ On a brighter note, there’s more good news from McDonald's, which recently announced the switch from margarine to butter. The fast food giant will begin offering mozzarella sticks nation-wide beginning in 2016. The Dairy and Food Market Analyst suggests that could mean the franchise will buy an additional 15-25 million pounds of mozzarella cheese in the coming year.

No word yet of any other chain switching to butter.

That will likely take time to accomplish and they might not want to appear like they’re following the leader, but might others make the change and just promote it on their menus.

U.S. milk production just above year-ago levels MARKETING

newspapers across the country and he may be reached at lkmielke@juno.com.

THE LAND, NOVEMBER 27, 2015 << www.TheLandOnline.com >> “Where Farm and Family Meet”

MIELKE, from pg. 22 U.S. milk production continues above year ago levels though not by much but you’d have to go back to March 2013 to find a decline. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported October 2015 output in the top 23 states at 16.0 billion pounds, up just 0.1 percent from October 2014. Revisions added 12 million pounds to the preliminary September total, now put at 15.6 billion, up 0.5 percent. The October 50-state output totaled 17.1 billion pounds, up 0.1 percent.

October cow numbers in the 23 states totaled 8.63 million head, down 1,000 from September but 38,000 head above a year ago. Output per cow averaged 1,857 pounds, down seven pounds from a year ago. Minnesota was up 1.8 percent on a 30-pound gain per cow.

HighGround Dairy’s Eric Meyer wrote: “Constrained by very strong milk production last October (up 3.7 percent vs. October 2013), the herd and milk per cow declines this past month are cause for a bit of concern, particularly the acceleration of Western state production decreases. Therefore, HighGround is calling October’s Milk Production report bullish versus expectations.”

■ Cash cheese prices came under pressure the week before Thanksgiving pulling Class III futures lower, to levels below $16 per hundredweight until July 2016. Block cheese fell to $1.56 per pound Wednesday, lowest level since March 27, but inched back up a penny Friday to close at $1.57, down a nickel on the week and 16 cents below a year ago when they plunged 21.25 cents after losing 25.75 cents the week before that. The Cheddar barrels fell to $1.4150 Thursday, lowest level since Jan. 10, 2011, but rallied Friday, jumping 8.75 cents, and closed at $1.5025, up 3.5 cents on the week, but is 23.75 cents below a year ago. Seven cars of block traded hands this week at the CME and 21 of barrel.

The weakening cheese prices are increasingly hanging over Central cheese production scheduling decisions, says Dairy Market News. “The ever-present factor of spot milk is at the core of the calculations, especially with long holiday weekends ahead this month and next. Milk availability has tightened, with some sellers being more aggressive in price negotiations than is typical but sellers will have more milk to move as the holidays approach.

Negotiations are underway for holiday spot milk, with some cheese manufacturers countering milk seller offers of $2.00 to $3.00 under class, with $5.00 under class.”

Cash butter held for a second straight week at $2.8850 per pound, 88.5 cents above a year ago, with two unfilled bids being the only activity. Central region butter production is steady, according to Dairy Market News. Manufacturers' inventories are light to moderate, with most indicating inventories are not worrisome. A number of Western processors say their butter inventories are committed for the rest of the year and most of the Thanksgiving butter demand has passed.

Home on the range A

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.
