“Wildcat: The Untold Story of Pearl Hart, The Wild West’s Most Notorious Woman Bandit” by John Boessenecker c.2021, Hanover Square Press $28.99 / $34.99 Canada 336 pages yarns are interesting, though they often supersede Pearl’s story. More than anything, however, readers will notice tale after tale about what it was like for desperate young ladies without familial support, at a time when women were basically second-class citizens. Inside those eye-opening parts, there’s heroism and feminism, and though Boessenecker avoids any whiff of sentimentalism in his storytelling, those hard-luck tales still suck every shred of romance out of any Old West works. “Wildcat” is a true story, recommended for western fans and for anyone who reads women’s history.

Deadline extended for pandemic support
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has extended the deadline for agricultural producers who are certified organic, or transitioning to organic, to apply for the Organic and Transitional Education and Certification Program. This program provides pandemic assistance to cover certification and education expenses. The deadline to apply for 2020 and 2021 eligible expenses is now Feb. 4, rather than the original deadline of Jan. 7.
Certified operations and transitional operations may apply for OTECP for eligible expenses paid during the 2020, 2021 and 2022 fiscal years. For each year, OTECP covers 25 percent of a certified operation’s eligible certification expenses, up to $250 per certification category (crop, livestock, wild crop, handling and State Organic Program fee). This includes application fees, inspection fees, USDA organic certification costs, state organic program fees and more.
Crop and livestock operations transitioning to organic production may be eligible for 75 percent of a transitional operation’s eligible expenses, up to $750, for each year. This includes fees charged by a certifying agent or consultant for pre-certification inspections and development of an organic system plan.
For both certified operations and transitional operations, OTECP covers 75 percent of the registration fees, up to $200, per year, for educational events that include content related to organic production and handling. Additionally, both certified and transitional operations may be eligible for 75 percent of the expense of soil testing required under the National Organic Program to document micronutrient deficiency, not to exceed $100 per year.
Producers apply through their local FSA office and can also obtain one-on-one support with applications by calling (877) 508-8364. The program application and additional information can be found at farmers. gov/otecp.

OLIVIA, Minn. — With 30 years of professional agronomic consulting services, plus being an actual farmer himself, Curt Burns gets listened to — such as at the Nov. 17 Renville County Corn and Soybean plots information session at Max’s Grill in Curt Burns Olivia, Minn. Burns listing: C.B. Agronomics LLC, Stewart, Minn. His email: burnsagro@gmail.com.
Said Burns, “As we all know, 2021 turned out to be a challenging, teasing, then rewarding season. We started with plentiful soil moistures; then virtually no rains until August. Crops were writhing. You and I were thinking mostly negatively. At county fair time you were talking 100 bushel corn. Then August happened and 10 to 15 inches of rain! And you harvested 170 bushels, 200 bushels, 240 — even more. During this August/September time frame we simply underestimated the rainfall factor. Also, get favorable temps too and despite a drouthy start it’s apparent you can salvage a decent crop.”
“I had guys thinking 100-bushel corn and ending with 150 to 175 bushel corn. Kernel size was deep; test weight was good. Yes, I hear about today’s genetics being better than genetics of 1988. But I also think we’re better farmers than we were in 1988! Still lots of moldboard plowing in 1988. But look at today … crop residues left on soil surfaces help absorb rainfall keeping the moisture in the soil.”
“Also today, more narrow-row cropping. That additional canopy also helps preserve moisture. Yes, genetics today are better than 1988. But the reality is you guys are better farmers today … and you’ll be even better farmers 10 years from now.”
“It’s all about education; about technology; and your ability to put this technology to work on your own farm. This year variations, even from township to township, were amazing. I had townships with four inches rain all year getting 50-bushel beans and 150 to 160-bushel corn!”
“The point being, your soils are still the numberone determiner of your success and it starts with good drainage which then permits good root penetrations. In my 30 years’ experience I’ve learned we can be on the dry side into June; but if we start getting wet in August and September, we can still get a pretty good crop.”
“I’ve never seen low-ground, peat-soil areas produce like they did this year … yield monitors pushing 300 bushels in those areas. Summing up, even if the good Lord keeps us on the dry side into that MayJuly timeframe, but quenches our thirst starting in August, we can still have good crops.”
“Yes, a couple of things about 2022 concern me … and you guys know fertilizer prices top the list. I know several of you locked in your prices earlier this fall. But I’m seeing many fertility tests now showing low to medium fertility … and cash rent prices already at $275 to $300. Are we now mining our soils because P and K prices are too high? Certain truths don’t change. If you’re going to successfully grow good crops you need good fertility practices. You can’t skip on fertilizer; you can’t skip on drainage.
“A common mistake I see is a grower picks up a new farm to rent and that farm does not have the best drainage. I suggest work with that land owner about fixing those areas. No, I’m not saying pattern tiling, but fix the obvious. It’s important you work with these land owners — not just for your assurance of a good crop, but perhaps even more important to that land owner is the added sustainable value to his property.”
Another concern of Burns: “If we don’t have a really cold winter we’re likely to see expanding insect issues in 2022. I think grasshoppers will keep increasing; so too will spider mites; also root worms. I don’t like to say it, but we need a polar vortex for at least three months this winter or we will have insect issues next season. This means perma-frosts even 24-inches into the soil.”
In order to get a good crop you’ve got to do the basics: drainage, fertility, weed control, insect control, and good crop insurance too.
“Yes, your risk factor of damage from corn rootworms keeps increasing. I’m not saying that if you have long rotations — including sugar beets, or peas, or sweet corn — that you can plant non-transgenic hybrids and be fine. But if your neighbors are into continuous corn or you have a neighboring dairy farmer with increasing corn rootworm issues, you may be okay on your farm. But when you start bringing non-transgenic hybrids into closer contest with traditional or more transgenic hybrids, you’re likely going to see more root worm population into that township.”
“What I’m saying is, look at your operation, plus how much continuous corn is in your neighborhood. If increasing, that proximity likely means more beetles closer to my corn fields too. So maybe I need to look at traited corn too. I’m not trying to sell something … I’m just saying that if we continue with this warmer winter scenarios, we’ll have issues with more rootworms.”
“I don’t like ‘down corn.’ That’s my number-one concern,” sums up Burns. v
Farm Pesticide Applicator workshops available
FOLEY, Minn. — Farmers with Private Pesticide Applicator certifications which expire on March 1 will need to renew that license for the 2022 growing season. The process to renew your license remains similar to what it has been from previous years with a few newer options for 2022.

MORTON, Minn. —It was my pleasure to join the “Priming for 2022” presentation by Hefty Seed Company on Dec. 22 at Jackpot Junction Casino. I was able to sit down with Darren Hefty, a most gifted spokesman for this Darren Hefty Minnehaha County, S.D. seed company. Over the years I’ve learned Darren will handle any question I toss at him, so here we go.
The Land: What are the top three questions farmers are tossing at you these days?
Hefty: Today that immediately centers on the supply chain with Liberty and Roundup herbicides. Also, how to deal with these outrageously high fertilizer prices right now … and still make money raising a crop next year.
You ask if we’re guilty of over-fertilizing our fields in the ongoing quest for bigger yields. I would say what we are most guilty of is not recognizing the variabilities within our fields. Sure, farmers don’t want to over-fertilize because that’s simply wasting money. But identifying these variabilities within a field is the challenge.
The Land: I’m hearing about cutting nitrogen rates up to 50 percent if applied to your corn crop as needed.
Hefty: Nitrogen is a real challenge because we want to get it out there at the exact right time. But with summers like we had in 2020 and 2021, it’s difficult to make in-season applications and have enough moisture to move those products into the plant. We suggest testing your soils each fall or early spring and adjusting your fertility program up front at planting — or even before — on heavy soils. Yes, we see value in in season’ applications … we just need to understand rainfall and application methods.
The Land: So is ‘spoon feeding’ your fertilizer, especially nitrogen, a preferred technology? And with anhydrous prices ramping up three to four times higher than last season, why not?
Hefty: One of the important developments is the ability to test your soils and prescribe most accurately the fertilizer appetite of your corn, even accounting for differences within a given field. Today’s high-tech corn planters can even adjust application rates on the go if you provide proper input data.
The Land: Are farmers guilty of excessive tillage — especially in seedbed preparations for their corn?
Hefty: Tillage is often a big discussion. What works great for one guy isn’t necessarily the same recipe for another. I just think that for anything we do in our fields there has to be a purpose; there has to be a goal. Conventional tillage, strip tillage, even zero tillage can work. Obviously your own skills, your equipment, your relationship with your weatherman, all impact the choices you make. It boils down to making the decisions that have the biggest benefits on your fields.
The Land: Especially because of fertilizer costs, some are predicting corn acres to be the big loser for the 2022 season. What’s your take?
Hefty: It’s a huge debate as to where acres will fall in 2022. With fertilizer prices so high it makes it more difficult for younger farmers — especially on rented ground. However, as I travel Iowa and Minnesota, more farmers are telling me they’ll stay with the same acreage mixture between the two crops because prices and situations may change as they get into 2022 cropping season. So unless they’ve already locked in fall prices for their crops, most farmers are telling me they’ll stick with their rotations.
The Land: You guys are so good at ‘pre-planning’ your chemical inventory needs, but do you think there will be supply shortage issues as this new season starts up?
Hefty: With ag chemicals, outside of Liberty and

“Spot the Difference: Understanding Quality in Solar Projects” with Hal Kimball and Griffin Dooling. With the farm implements you use every season, you know how to spot the difference between manufacturers and the quality of their products. But if you’ve never worked with a solar developer before, how can tell if the project will stand the test of time? In truth, not all solar is created equal and sometimes the more affordable estimates can end up costing you the most in the long run. Griffin and Hal of Blue Horizon Energy are here to help you gain a discerning eye for quality. We’ll break down individual solar array components (like solar panels, racking systems, warranty, service guarantees, etc) into tiers based on price points and the pros and cons of each. In the end, you’ll be able to better evaluate a solar project proposal, allowing you to pick the solar developer that’s best suited for your farm. 2 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. ..........

MANKATO, Minn. — Minnesota’s premier indoor agriculture trade show is returning to an in-person event in 2022. After a virtual pivot in 2021, the MN Ag Expo will take place Jan. 19-20 at the Mayo Clinic Health System Event Center in Mankato.
“We are thrilled to reunite with our fellow farmers and the agriculture community,” said Minnesota Soybean Growers Association President and Beltrami farmer Mike Skaug. “MN Ag Expo is always a mustattend for growers throughout our state. After the trials and tribulations of the past couple years, we’re definitely not taking the 2022 Expo for granted.”
MSGA and Expo co-sponsors, the Minnesota Corn Growers Association, will hold their annual meetings and finalize their 2022 policy resolutions on Jan. 19 and Jan. 20, respectively.
MCGA and MSGA have once again compiled a diverse list of keynote speakers and breakout sessions. South Dakota rancher and advocate Amanda Radke will serve as the afternoon keynote, and Army Veteran Jack Zimmerman will share his inspiring story during Thursday’s “Food for Thought” luncheon. Farm management expert Kent Thiesse is set to deliver the Morning Ag Economic Outlook presentation.
“Audiences are so excited to be back together,” Radke said. “The ag community is so close knit, and we’ve missed that fellowship and camaraderie.”
MCGA’s Reception and Silent Auction takes place on Jan. 19, highlighting the work of MCGA’s 52 county corn organizations. It will be followed by entertainment from comedian Todd Andrews during the dinner banquet.
While at the Expo, be sure to stop by the MCGA booth on the trade show floor to learn the many ways the state’s corn farmers are building a brighter future for Minnesota agriculture. Connect with old friends, look for giveaways, learn how your corn check-off funds are working for you, and explore the benefits of membership.
«Minnesota Corn is proud to co-sponsor MN Ag Expo and other events that allow farmers to network, hear from industry leaders and explore the latest trends in agriculture,” MCGA President Bryan Biegler said. “We’re looking forward to celebrating and highlighting our grassroots membership and can’t wait to get together.”
MSGA will also be holding its annual carnival fundraiser on Jan. 19 at the Loose Moose Salon to support MSGA’s grassroots advocacy mission in St. Paul and Washington, D.C.
Attendance at MN Ag Expo is free, but registration is required. Register online at https://mnagexpo.com/ register.
“Our members and sponsors have been driving our mission since 1962, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to once again visit as an agriculture community,” MSGA Executive Director Joe Smentek said. “There’s going to be something for everyone at this year’s Ag Expo.”

MN Ag Expo featured speakers
Jack Zimmerman was raised in a small town in Minnesota and shortly after graduating high school, joined the U.S. Army. After months of training, Zimmerman became an airborne infantryman. He deployed in 2010 with the legendary 101st Airborne Division. After spending nine months in heavy combat, Zimmerman, while on a foot patrol, stepped on an improvised explosive device (IED) and suffered catastrophic injuries. As he lie there on the battlefield, his entire life flashed before his eyes. All the while his teammates were continuing to take heavy fire and fight the enemy while the field medic worked to save Jack’s life.
Zimmerman was not expected to survive that day, but 20 surgeries and two years later, he left the San Antonio Military Medical Center and medically retired from the U.S. Army. Back home, his friends, family and community rallied around him to offer their support. Zimmerman tackled many hurdles during his first months home and struggled to find his purpose after leaving the military. Through many opportunities to serve, both personally and professionally, Zimmerman found his passion in speaking to others and inspiring through his unique and valued perspective. Today, Zimmerman is a devoted husband and father and is a strong part of his community.
Todd Andrews began his comedy career in the Boston area (where he grew up), but eventually moved to his wife’s hometown in western Wisconsin. Todd’s performances are wonderfully woven stories about the observations and trials of a “Boston Boy Lost in Wisconsin” — focusing on his “fish out of water” experiences, his wife and family, and other odd life events.
Amanda Radke is a fifth generation rancher from Mitchell, S.D., who has dedicated her career to serving as a voice for the nation’s farmers and ranchers. Since 2008, Radke has tackled industry issues on the BEEF Daily blog for BEEF Magazine, where she provides tools and strategies for producers to effectively engage with consumers and counter negative media articles on social media.
When she’s not blogging or speaking, Radke is penning agriculturally-accurate children’s books to help promote agricultural literacy in schools. Her titles include, “Levi’s Lost Calf,” “Can-Do Cowkids,” “ A Home Run For Peanuts” and “The Soil Quilt.” Radke is determined to teach kids about where their food comes from to help the upcoming generation of consumers be both informed and empowered at the grocery store.
Kent Thiesse Kent Thiesse is a farm management analyst and currently serves as Senior Vice President and Chief Ag Loan Officer for MinnStar Bank in Lake Crystal, Minn.
