Finding a role model can be hard.The higher you put someone on a

pedestal, the farther and harder they canfall. And when they do fall, they aren’t theonly ones who get hurt. Those who do theidolizing also get hurt, sometimes worsethan the actual idol.

I have been a Joe Paterno fan for years,for him running a successful college foot-ball program, and allegedly running itcleanly.

Then last fall accusations of sexualabuse under his watch surfaced. Thoughhe didn’t actually touch those youngmen and boys in the showers, Paternowas blamed for not doing enough. HisHall of Fame coaching career is now forever tar-nished. His obituary, which should have only spokeof the football successes and coaching accomplish-ments, was marred with what he didn’t do.

Penn State football fans felt betrayed. I feltbetrayed.

Betrayal resurfaced once again in my world.For the last 12 years now, I have been tracking

down the Minnesota state FFA officer team from 25years prior. You can read about the 1986-87 team inthis week’s edition, Pages 8A-16A.

These former state officers were once at the top oftheir game. They were elected as the best of the bestto lead the state FFA organization. People looked upto them.

As I interview the team 25 years after they reignedsupreme, my intent is to “get caught up” with them,see what they’ve been up to in the past 25 years. Iask them about their lives since they wore the bluecorduroy: how did their career turn out, how’s theirfamily life; how did their FFA experience impacttheir lives.

These are meant to be light features on their lives.When I started this project 12 years ago, my intent

was to show what happened to those young leadersin the 25 years since they served. I wanted to showthe FFA members of today that they can follow thefootsteps of those who have trod before them. Iwanted to show the current FFAers that these youngmen and women have benefited, and still benefittoday from the FFA lessons learned all those yearsago.

I also wanted to point out that not all of these for-mer state FFA officers are perfect; their lives haven’tall been storybook.

One of the problems is that such questions, or theright questions, aren’t asked during the interviews

for these “light” features. This January Iwas informed by one of our readers that Ishould have asked tougher questions afew years back.

In 2004 I interviewed the 1978-79 stateFFA officer team, on which Jim Hoffmanserved as vice president. This Januaryand February the Minneapolis StarTri-bune ran stories detailing how the sameJim Hoffman was found guilty of variousfraud schemes, defrauding banks of some$5.5 million.

On Feb. 3, according to a StarTribunestory, Hoffman and his wife, Teresa,admitted they duped mortgage lendersout of more than $5 million. In

exchange for their guilty pleas, prosecu-tors agreed not to charge the couple’s son Benjaminwith any crimes arising from the federal investiga-tion into a wide-ranging mortgage fraud and equity-skimming scheme.

I feel betrayed, not that I knew Hoffman prior tointerviewing him back in 2004. I felt betrayedbecause he smoothly told of how his life really turnedaround for him. He told of how he quit college to takeover the family’s farm after his father passed away.He told of the tough times he ran across, as did a lotof farmers at that time.

In his feature story in The Land, he told of how hegot back on his feet in the mid-1980s when he metup with some “wealthy Twin Cities residents” andthey started buying land. “We bought some land andsold it for a profit, and then we bought some landand rented it out.”

I guess he did turn a profit! I feel betrayed becausethese schemes were in operation while I was inter-viewing him.

Funny, he didn’t bring up anything of these deal-ings as we spoke. Also, I just couldn’t quite work intothe interview, “Oh, when you say you sold it for aprofit, do you mean to say that you are defraudingpeople in the process?”

Maybe I’m guilty of more idol worship, thinking aformer state FFA officer is above such dealings.

The lesson learned is that you can look up to peo-ple, and hold them in high esteem. But be ready forsurprises, and be ready to be let down. Nobody isperfect these days; we all have flaws.

The only perfect person was recently honored onEaster Sunday, but even He had people trying tobring him down.

More and more, the feder-ally-mandated, non-refund-able commodity checkoffsresemble something out of aCharles Dickens novel.

Most feature huge casts,complicated plots and, to readtheir press releases, are com-pletely responsible for the bestof times enjoyed by their farm-and ranch-payers.

But when federal auditorsexamine almost any aspectof the 18 checkoffs createdby Congress, they usuallyfind the worst of times: funds misspenton illegal travel, subcontracts used tofunnel money for unauthorized bonuses,no procedures to track money and auditrules so porous that a checkoff-boughtSherman tank could clank through mostcheckoffs without a question or an eye-brow getting raised.

That was the case again March 30when the Office of Inspector General atthe U.S. Department of Agriculturereleased an unusually brief — buthighly critical — audit of the “possibilityof weak oversight controls” of federally-chartered checkoffs.

A link to the OIG report is posted atwww.farmandfoodfile.com.

The audit, explains thereport, had been initiated byan “AMS’ (USDA’s Agricul-tural Marketing Service) for-mer Administrator” in 2009when “stakeholders,” mostlyfarmers and ranchers, “paidapproximately $528 million”to the checkoffs.

While $528 million ain’tchickenfeed, OIG found thatthe federal checkoff watchdog,

AMS, was pretty chicken …well, lax in its oversightand, often, just blind.

“Specifically,” notes the report, “AMS’oversight policies were unclear regardingthe agency’s role and responsibilities,” and,as such, the “staff did not always enforcethe agency’s guidelines” which “increasesthe risk that funds could be misused.”

Could be? No, were.“A recent OIG investigation ... reported

that a subcontractor of the USB” — theUnited Soybean Board, the soybean’scheckoff ’s governing body — named “theUnited States Soybean Export Council,used subcontracts as a mechanism forpaying employees unauthorized bonusestotaling approximately $302,000.”

“Misuse” like this is common, accordingto the report, because “Guidelines (for)

periodic management reviews” of thecheckoffs vary from “every three years”for those in the Fruit and Vegetable pro-gram to those in the Livestock and Seedarea that “had a policy to conduct a man-agement review when a complaint or con-cern arose.”

That’s right; someone first had to com-plain that money in the multi-milliondollar livestock and grain checkoffs wasmisused before anyone at the AMS evensharpened a pencil.

Huh. Your local elevator co-op, schooldistrict and church perform annualaudits as a matter of policy but the AMSneeds “a complaint or concern” to put onits green eyeshades.

It gets worse.This hear-no-evil, see-no-evil approach

meant that “the Livestock and Seed pro-gram” — the AMS umbrella over thebeef, pork, lamb, soybean and sorghumcheckoffs — “had not conducted a man-agement review of any its boards in atleast five years.”

Wow. Not one person looked into thetens of millions of farmer and rancherdollars spent annually in any of thesefive major checkoffs for anything because“officials said they had not received acomplaint or had any concerns duringthat time period.”

Little wonder then that the beef check-off ’s contractor, the National Cattlemen’sBeef Association, used checkoff dollars topay for the spouse of a “senior staff mem-ber” to accompany him to New Zealandfor a “meeting” or that $300k in unautho-rized bonuses were slipped to a soybeancheckoff subcontractor.

Not only was no one looking, you couldtake it to the bank that no one wouldlook — for years, if ever.

And little wonder that, despite laws ban-ning the use of checkoff money for lobby-ing, three top beef checkoff officialsattended the National Farmers Union con-vention in Omaha in early March to pres-sure NFU delegates to alter, drop or voteagainst a South Dakota resolution thatendorsed a USDA plan “to expand the con-tracting authority” of the beef checkoff.

Why would beef checkoff officials fightagainst opening up contracting to morethan just the NCBA, an organization thatgrabs nearly 90 percent of all beef check-off dollars but sports fewer than 3 per-cent of all cattle owners as members?

Hey, file a complaint. Maybe we’ll bothfind out.

To the Editor:The piece that Dick

Hagen reprinted in TheLand is, in every sense, a cry for help. It is a cry onbehalf of a nation that has not been so split sincefamilies and states armed themselves and foughteach other on the battlefields of Gettysburg and Man-assas. It is a reminder of how broken and incapable ofperspective we can be. This war that is now beingfought online and on pseudo-news programmingmakes no sense, and it is illustrated in the hatredand misrepresentation of pieces such as “I want adivorce.” We hear a lot about the unconstitutionalityof healthcare and respectful public policy but believethat if we sing America the Beautiful, all is well.

Education and the concern for the infrastructure ofour country have been thrown on the trash heap labeled“liberal waste,” and healthcare is considered a luxurywhile support for erectile dysfunction is not discussed.

The foundation of freedom of religion in the UnitedStates is abandoned as the faiths that do not repre-sent the writer’s beliefs are rejected. The homeless,the focus of one of the commandments of the Judeo-

Christian culture are discarded. Perhaps the Judeo-Christian law should be revisited. Deuteronomy14:28 states: “At the end of every three years, bringall the tithes ... so that the Levites ... and the aliens,the fatherless and the widows ... may come and eatand be satisfied, and so that the Lord your God maybless you in all the work of your hands.”

Let’s make one thing clear. The Bible is not yoursto give or to withhold. The Word of God is meant foreveryone, and furthermore it is clear that you don’tpay attention to it anyway.

Corporations are bestowed the benefits of individ-ual personhood while exercising the centralization ofgreat power. CEOs are paid in the billions whileworkers who seek a fair wage are accused of seeking“income redistribution.”

Honor of our shared history and our flag is foundin both political parties. Rather than suggest othersare offended, it would be well if we better understoodwhat that shared history and flag was all about.There is agreement on the need to defend ourselvesindividually and as a nation. However, storming into

another country under pretended purposes, gunsblazing and flags flying, does not defend our nation;rather it makes us vulnerable to the understand-able disrespect of other nations.

Freedom of speech provided in the Constitutionallows the kind of shallow and uninformed lan-guage demonstrated in “I want a divorce.” However,God-given intelligence requires a discerning mindto cut through it and recognize it for what it is.Patricia BuschetteRenville, Minn.

By RICHARD SIEMERSThe Land Correspondent

Megan Williams and Carly Fritz are both juniorsat Russell-Tyler-Ruthton High School, both are inthe agriculture program and FFA officers, and bothwere present at the beginning of a project known asthe School Land Lab. Their freshman year, however,they were not very involved.

“The first year was kind of a test where (the FFAofficers) planted mainly corn,” Fritz said.

Now starting its third year under the direction of

Brian Boomgaarden, agri-cultural instructor and localFFA adviser, the Land Labhas many students involved,both high school and ele-mentary. The approximately29 acres is planted to fieldcrops, an orchard, a gardenand a vineyard.

Since school is not in ses-sion during the summer, FFA officers and volunteersassist Boomgaarden in caretaking, while during the

school year the ag and hor-ticulture classes are theplanters and caretakers.

RTR is making the mostof land situated across thestreet from the schoolgrounds. The owners, Einerand Edna Jensen, wantedthe school to have firstopportunity to buy their

property when they were gone. Their daughter, RuthAnn Nelson, honored her parents’ desire and theschool took advantage of the option, purchasing theproperty.

After removing allbuildings but a Quon-set, it was decided touse the acreage formore than field croptest plots. Boomgaar-den said that direc-tion was chosen toinvolve more stu-dents and “do somedifferent things fordifferent studentinterests.”

“Nineteen acres oflower ground was toowet to plant last year,but that has beentiled and should bebetter,” Boomgaardensaid.

The lower ground will be field crops, as well assome of the higher ground. But the higher ground ismore diversified. The students have planted anorchard of apple, pear, plum, cherry and apricottrees. There is about an acre of garden, and about anacre of the newest venture, a vineyard.

“We planted over 300 vines last fall,” Fritz said.Boomgaarden has tapped others’ expertise to make

the Land Lab a success. Chris Noble, an agronomicresearch associate with Monsanto, has been helpfulmentoring them on test plots. The Minnesota GrapeGrowers Association and local grape grower ArnieDam have advised them on the vineyard. They haveworked with the Minnesota Department of Healththrough its Student Health Initiative Program onthe garden.

“The garden is a good project, and also for the factthat it is in the school lunch program,” Boomgaardensaid. “It seemed to be a pretty popular thing with thekids last fall.”

Lorraine Maleyko, head cook at the high schoolbuilding in Tyler, agreed.

“The students really like the fresh food,” Maleykosaid, “and it saves a lot (of money). We’re still usingthe potatoes from last fall.”

She said the students enjoyed the sliced tomatoes(as opposed to what one can buy commercially) andthe oven-roasted potatoes. The squash was popular,

RTR, from pg. 6Aand even the eggplant went over well, she said, alongwith carrots, green beans, sweet corn, green peppersand other vegetables.

“The produce goes to all three schools (elementary,middle and high school),” Williams said. “The ele-mentary really like the beets.”

The elementary students have also come to Tylerfrom their Ruthton school building to help with theplanting and harvesting.

Part of the challenge, Boomgaarden said, is plant-ing vegetables that mature when school is in session.However, Williams said, this year they will be plant-ing some crops that the cooks intend to harvest andput up during the summer.

The Horticulture Class works with the cooks to

determine what they want, then makes a blueprintfor the garden. RTR also has a greenhouse, which thehorticulture class uses to raise plants for spring sale.When it is cleared of those plants, it will be used toplant vines for later transplantation to the garden.

The Ag Economy and Business Class will run thefield crop area as to what they want to do out there,and they will set up the project, Boomgaarden said.

The first couple of years have been labor intensive,planting the orchard and setting up the frameworkfor the grape vines. Last year weeds were a time-consuming challenge, especially in the summerwhen student volunteers are counted on to care forthe crops. To reduce the labor intensity in the gar-den, this spring they will lay down mats to help con-trol weeds and drip irrigation hoses for watering.Fritz also said they would plant rows so they cancross-cultivate.

This is a Land Lab where students are learningall aspects from planning and planting to harvest-ing and distribution. And it being a lab, they willcontinue to experiment with crops and methods.

Has it been a good experience? A fun experience?A learning experience?

“I think all three of those,” Williams said. “For theag classes it helps them learn where their foodcomes from and how they can do it at home.”

“Yes, it’s been fun,” Fritz added. “It takes a lot ofhard work but it is really cool to see it from start tofinish, your end product. And that it went over so welldonating it to the school lunch program was great.”

Boomgaarden expects the success to continue.“We have a lot of good workers in the students,” he

said, “and they have a good attitude.” ❖

Caren Frost Carlson,Sentinel

Caren Frost Carlson has discov-

ered that a medical field career can

grow out of an ag classroom in Will-

mar, Minn.

“The confidence that I have gained,

from my years in FFA, and as a state

officer, is unbelievable,” she said. That

confidence has served her well

throughout her career, first in retail

and now as patient service manager at

the Paynesville (Minn.) Area Hospital.

“I set up surgeries for patients, set

up their appointments and their vis-

its. ... I make sure the patients are

taken care of.”

Something as simple as knowing

people’s names, helps make an impact

in a person’s life, and may be the dif-

ference in getting ahead.

She learned this firsthand early on

when she started at Dayton’s in the

Mark Enter,Vice President

Mark Enter is living the dream.

“Through the years, as a youngster,

I had an interest in agriculture, I

knew I wanted to be doing something

in agriculture,” he said.

The son of the Watertown-Mayer

High School principal, Enter reached

out to family who operated farms in

the Nicollet, Minn., area. “I would

work on their farms every summer, I

would spend weeks at a time on the

farm. ... I acquired a love for animals

and the land, and growing things.”

When he was an early teen, the family

moved to a rural acreage near Water-

town, and the young Enter started

growing sweet corn and squash for sale

at a farmers market. “That was the

start of my FFA proficiency projects.”

On his 13th birthday he bought his

first tractor, an Allis Chalmers WC,

and he salvaged farm implements out

of neighboring groves. “It was kind of

Amy Polikowsky Mesenburg,

Secretary

As a business owner, Amy Mesen-

burg is used to being busy.

Good thing she had good training as

a late-teen. “I was a state 4-H ambas-

sador, the next year I was state FFA

officer, then I was Princess Kay of the

Milky Way. I had three hectic years.”

Today, Mesenburg and her husband,

Dan, run a ServiceMaster franchise in

Rochester, Minn. That busy-body life

started for Mesenburg in the Byron High

School FFA Chapter. “We had a strong

FFA program with great FFA advisers.”

Looking back, she realizes that if

not for FFA, she would have had to be

involved in something to help get her

confidence up. Before FFA, she was

involved in 4-H, and that is where she

got her first confidence builder and

exposure to being in front of people.

“My mom started me as a public

speaker at age 8 in 4-H,” she said. “I

Connie Helget Haasken,

Reporter

To this day, Connie Helget Haasken

remembers a lot of the life lessons

that were taught by Paul Day, the

Minnesota state FFA adviser at the

time she served as state FFA reporter.

“Paul Day taught us skills that we

could use everyday and we still do,”

she said. “I still think of him when I

see someone acting in a way that he

would have come down on them.”

As state reporter, she still holds the

strong writing skills that were taught

by Day as she worked to get the FFA

newsletter out.

Helget joined FFA at St. James High

School as a freshman,and made the most

of her FFA tenure. She served as chapter

secretary, president and vice president,

as well as being on six different judging

teams under Dale Busch’s tutelage.

“My siblings always kidded me that I

was never out there milking the cows.”

After her chapter officer positions,

Ann Schreifels,Treasurer

An interest in agriculture born in a For-

est Lake High School shop class has

taken Ann Schreifels around the world

and back, and back around the world.

The 1985 high school grad grew up on a

hobby farm and her parents, Harold and

Beverly, worked off the farm. As a sopho-

more in high school she took a shop class

in Bob Marzolf ’s ag department and got

interested in ag classes, and thus inter-

ested in the Future Farmers of America.

Schreifels had been exposed to FFA as a

young student as she would bring her

horse to the annual Forest Lake FFA

horse show. “In 10th grade my intention

Brian Hicks,President

Brian Hicks admits that if you would

have been sitting in his freshman FFA

class listening to him recite the FFA creed,

you would have never imagined that that

Greenhand would one day become the

president of the Minnesota FFA.

“It was real intimidating for me to get in

front of people and speak,” Hicks said in early

April from his mobile office while transport-

ing anhydrous ammonia tanks to the fields.

His experience in 4-H and FFA helped

shake that intimidation out of his nature.

“I served as state 4-H ambassador my

senior year in high school, and that just

kind of leap-frogged over into FFA, and it

just kind of happened.”

Catching up after 25 yearsBrian Hicks, Amy Polikowsky, Mark Enter, Ann

Schreifels, Caren Frost and Connie Helget (left to

right in photo below) led the Minnesota Future

Farmers of America organization as the state offi-

cer team in 1986-87.

A lot has changed over the years in the world

and for this group. As you will read in the pages to

come, a lot of their changes they attribute to their

FFA experiences.

HICKS, from pg. 8AHicks got involved in the Tracy High

School FFA program because he sawthere was a good thing going, andwanted to be a part of it. He creditsthe Tracy community and the highschool adviser, Jere Rambow, for build-ing a strong program at Tracy. “He(Rambow) was just a real giddy-upand go type of guy, and the communityhad a number of real strong leaders ina strong ag-based area,” he said.

“The chapter had built a string ofsuccess over the years.” Hicks got inon the strength of the livestock judg-ing teams. “A few years ahead of me inhigh school the team won the nationalcontest at Kansas City,” he said. Heremembers as a sophomore he was amember of the general livestock judg-ing team with two other sophomoresand one junior and that team won atthe National Western Stock Show inDenver. “Being on the livestock judg-ing team wasn’t a given, it was a chal-

lenge to even get on the team,” he said.In addition to being on judging teams,

Hicks also served as the Tracy chaptertreasurer and president, as well as adistrict officer. “I had no aspirations ofdoing anything more than that.”

That was until he attended the Uni-versity of Minnesota, St. Paul, and hemet Dean Harder, the state FFA presi-dent from the 1985-86 team.

“We lived in the same dorm and heencouraged me to fill out an applica-tion and to send it in.”

Obviously, that encouragement pannedout as Hicks replaced Harder as state FFApresident in the spring of 1986, Hicks’freshman year at the U of M. All along,Hicks had the intention to return home tofarm, and he did become the fourth gener-ation to be a part of Nettiewyynnt FarmLtd. Partnership near Tracy. Hicks sayshis great-grandfather originated theunusual farm name from the letters of thewords “ninety” and “twenty”, the numberson the original deed in 1885.

The Hicks farm is now mainly cropfarming, with a few head of livestockfor 4-H shows.

“In 2000, we were calving a couplehundred cows and realized it was a lotof work and thought there may be abetter way to focus our time and man-agement, so we liquidated the herdand then bought a commercial tilingmachine.” he said. “We started doing alot of tiling, mainly for us.”

That work with farm drainageworked into a controlled drainageresearch plot on 125 acres of Net-tiewyynnt Farm.

“We are elated by what we’ve found,”he said. “We are retaining our nutri-ents. NPK are not heading down theriver or into the drainage system.”

Hicks is working with Jeff Strock, Uof M soil scientist at the SouthwestResearch and Outreach Center atLamberton, and Gary Sands, an engi-neer with U of M Extension.

As mentioned before, Hicks’ plan wasto return to the farm, but he knowsthat he would not have been involvedwith the drainage research had it notbeen for his FFA officer experience.

With the drainage research experience“I have had the opportunity to speak to

large groups of diverse people, peoplewho think farmers are harming theenvironment,” he said. “Being a stateofficer had a phenomenal impact on mefor such situations. It gave me the confi-dence and opportunity to work with peo-ple who would have intimidated me.”

Hicks and his wife, Michelle, havenine children, ranging from age 2 to 20.

Just as with his parents, David andJean, Hicks will be supportive of what-ever path his children decide to follow. “Ifone or all of them want to farm, we wouldfind room for them,” he said. “We’ll proba-bly have a couple that want to farm.”

The two older children, Meridith, 20,and Bradly, 19, are students at CalvaryChapel Bible College in Murietta, Calif.

For now, the children old enough areactive in 4-H and FFA, as had been theoldest two. “I encourage them to dothings, be a district (FFA) officer, what-ever to take full advantage of what’savailable to them.”

Brian and Michelle encourage all theirchildren to follow their own interests.“Whatever their interests are, we supportthem to follow what they want to do.”

The rest of the Hicks family is Jakob,15, Mariah, 13, Madelynne, 12, Mer-cedies, 9,Adam, 7, Mallorie, 5, David, 2. ❖

SCHREIFELS, from pg. 8Awas to go to vet school at the U of M,” she said. “Well,that didn’t quite work out.”

Schreifels credits Marzolf with making the most outof her FFA career. “The biggest difference in a person’slife is to have an adult from outside of the family to bea good influence ,” she said. “That was Mr. Marzolf forme, and a lot of other people. Everyone felt like theywere special and that we all had huge potential.”

Schreifels has tried to take Marzolf ’s example andput it into practice in her own work at CaterpillarInc. “We have a mentor program for new hires andI’ve been involved in that as a mentor,” she said.“Now, they are college graduates, but I still try tohelp them along. ... I think a female role model isgood in our industry.”

Schreifels took that FFA introduction and ran with it,“willing to jump into anything that I could” participat-ing on the dairy and soils judging teams, as well as afarm business management team that made it to state.

She credits Marzolf with encouraging the ForestLake FFAers to spread their knowledge base.

Chapter treasurer and district president were herstepping stones to the state treasurer position,which she ran for in the spring of her freshman yearat the University of Minnesota where she was major-ing in animal science.

That year as state FFA officer was one of the mostrewarding experiences in her life.

It also opened her up to trying new things, such as

changing her major to a business degree in the U ofM Carlson School of Management, “with a minor inag econ. to keep my ag connections.”

Right after college, she traveled to France in theCommunicating for Ag program, spending the sum-mer of 1990 on a goat farm, and then backpacked thearea. While in France, she worked on her French lan-guage skills; skills that would later serve her well.

Once back stateside, she worked for some public rela-tions firms, before going to work for Caterpillar Inc. in1995 in Brooklyn Park, Minn. Shortly thereafter, Catreleased its Lexion combines and she moved to Omaha,Neb., to lead the marketing of the new harvester.

She is now Caterpillar Inc. strategy manager forEurope, Africa and the Middle East, and as of thefirst of this year she has been living in Paris, France.

“I took French all through high school and college,and I’ve been to France as a tourist, but it (use of thelanguage) starts to fade if you don’t use it.” So, in themeantime she listens to French audio books, and “onDVDs I’ll watch the French channel just to keep thatpart of the brain active.”

As an American in Paris, Schreifels has a three-year work visa, with the possibility to extend it twicefor one year at a time.

Looking back in the Forest Lake High School shopclass, she would have never imagined herself whereshe is today. “Not in a million years. ... As I walkdown the street in Paris, I have to stop and think,wow, how did I get here.”

She credits a lot of that “wow” to FFA. “I stronglycredit the FFA experience to get me to have thestrong self confidence to explore, expand and grow.”

Schreifels is engaged to Vincent, who also worksfor Caterpillar. ❖

FROST, from pg. 8A

Twin Cities. “I had sold a dress to awoman, and she paid cash. Thiswoman came back a year later andshe was so amazed that I had remem-

bered her name. That’s networkingand that’s important.”

Networking early on inspired Carlsonto get all she could out of her FFA experi-ence. She credits Willmar High School’s

FFA advisers, Doug Hanson and DaveDamhoff, with recruiting non-ag familiesto the FFA experience. “Doug had anawesome ability to draw in people and tomake it interesting and fun,” she said.

As a freshman she joined the floricul-ture team, and they made it to thestate convention. She remembers inpreparation for the contests, Hanson“took us all around to all the trees sowe knew what they looked like, andwhat we’d be seeing during the con-test. ... he went above and beyond.”

She also took part in FFA extempo-raneous and public speaking contests.

In addition to the inspiration of Han-son and Damhoff, Carlson remembersbeing inspired by the state officer teamshe encountered while she was a first-year FFA member.

“I saw them, and the way they han-dled themselves and I knew that wassomething that I wanted to do,” she said.

She first worked her way through aschapter secretary, chapter presidentand regional vice president before run-

ning for state FFA officer the spring ofher senior year in high school.

She spent her first two years after highschool at Willmar Community College,before transferring to the University ofMinnesota. She graduated in 1991 with acommunications degree in technical writ-ing. She had an internship with a publicrelations firm, before going into retailsales and management. She worked inretail in the Twin Cities, St. Cloud andWillmar, before making the move to thehospital, where she has been for 13 years.

“That was a good move for me,” shesaid. “I get a good balance, and it’s goodto be close to home.”

Caren and her husband, Brad (aDepartment of Natural Resources fish-eries biologist at Spicer, Minn.) havethree children: Larry, 13, Eliza, 10 andBrandon, 6.

“They are going to join 4-H this year,”she said. “I will encourage them tomake choices that will help them inthe future. I will also make themaware of what’s available.” ❖

POLIKOWSKY, from pg. 8Agot comfortable being in front of people before Iknew that I should be afraid of it.”

That first speech, she remembers, was about her4-H heifer named Viking, named such because theheifer was born during a Minnesota Vikings game.

Public speaking experience that started with a talkabout a 4-H heifer got her ready for the FFA stage,where as a high school freshman she won the statecreed contest, advancing her to the national convention.

“FFA gives you a safe place to work your skill sets,work on your skills and not be afraid of making amistake,” she said.

That training of not being afraid to make mis-takes has served Mesenburg well in her profes-sional career. “FFA molded me to take risks.”

The summer between her junior and senior year in

college, she landed an internship with World WideSires Ltd. in California, a leading cattle genetics mar-keting organization representing the majority of theU.S. artificial insemination cooperatives. She workedon developing advertisements for the World Wide Sires.

She graduated from the University of Minnesota in1990 with a degree in animal industries communica-tions marketing. After college she moved to Litch-field, Minn., where she did ag marketing for CenterNational Bank, before being “stolen” away by FirstDistrict Association, an independent dairy coopera-tive, also based at Litchfield.

She then landed a job at Mayo Clinic in Rochester,Minn., so she and Dan (originally from Red Wing)could get closer to family. There she oversaw thedepartment for computer education training for theMayo location in Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.,and Scottsdale, Ariz.

“I got to do a lot of travel, and it was a good job, but Irealized that I didn’t like working for somebody else.”

That realization prompted the couple to purchase aServiceMaster franchise in March 2000. As with anynew business venture there are growing pains.

“That was a little scary at the time, but it was anincredible move,” she said. “Everything I learned as astate officer has helped me along the way.” Mesenburg’sServiceMaster franchise is in the disaster restorationand carpet cleaning business. “We provide 24/7/365restoration services, and the first few years we (Dan andAmy) did all of the calls ourselves,” she said.Mesenburg’screws are called in to help after fire or water damage,“most of the water damage calls are the emergencies,after a big rain or a burst water pipe in the middle of thenight.” Now that the business has grown, Amy is able tohave staff hired to handle the majority of the calls. Herfirst year in business, her franchise did about $100,000in business, and last year did well over $1 million.

“If we get really busy, we will get involved,” she said.That “we” now includes the couple’s children: Laura,19, and Robert, 17, and if things get real hectic, evensome of Laura and Robert’s friends get recruited.

“I am very careful when I hire,” she said. “I’m veryparticular about my training ... all my employeeshave been certified to a high level.”

“As an FFA officer we learned how to serve, how tolead, and how to do things the right way.”

Doing things the right way was entrenched inMesenburg and her three brothers by their parents,Marvin and Aileen. “We always had strong familysupport,” she said. She remembers her parentsalways being there for all of the children’s activities,even with the constraints of the home dairy farm.

“Even my brothers (Bruce, Brian and Brad) weresupportive,” she said. “In the barn, while doing chores,they would be quizzing me on interview questions.” ❖

ENTER, from pg. 8Aneat to use equipment that people had used 20 to 30years before,” he said.

The ag interest of the young Enter prompted hisfather, Larry, to get Mark in touch with Vern Richter,the Watertown-Mayer FFA adviser, even thoughMark was too young to be in FFA.

“My dad could see that I was interested in produc-tion agriculture, so he got me in touch with Mr.Richter who could help me along the way.”

Once he was old enough, and since he was alreadyfamiliar with Richter, Enter was joining FFA as anopportunity to get involved in something that heloved.

Enter didn’t realize just how much he was going toget out of FFA.

“Vern was encouraging in helping you develop yourleadership skills,” he said. He dove into public speak-ing, dairy and wildlife contests, and got exposed toleadership when he attended the state FFA leader-ship camp during the summer after his freshmanyear. “There I got to know the state officers at thatcamp.”

That exposure prompted him to run for a regionalFFA office as a high school junior, and then as a sen-ior served as district president and regional vicepresident.

The natural progression was to then try for a stateoffice, which he did, but did not get in on the first try.“When I didn’t get elected, I never doubted that I’drun again. I wasn’t intimidated or disappointed.”That year that Enter had hoped to serve as a stateFFA officer was instead spent as a regional vice pres-ident, allowing him to work closely with the state

officer team. “That was a very valuable experiencefor me, working with the state officer team,” he said.“I simply got to know a lot more people at leadershipcamps. Just meeting more young people.”

That year’s experience gave him added confidencefor when he ran a second time for state office, thistime getting in at the second highest spot in the FFAassociation.

Even though the six constitutional FFA officers aregiven titles, Enter didn’t feel that a hierarchyexisted. “The goal was to have a consensus or anunderstanding of what is best for the team. I don’trecall a time as a state officer where we couldn’tcome to a consensus.”

He sees that same thinking with his team at theNew Richmond, Wis., Lakeside Foods plant where heis general manager. “We have a team of strong indi-viduals but we need to work together. Thoughts ofworking as state officers come back to me often.”

Enter worked his way up to where he is today.After graduating from high school in 1985, he

attended the University of Minnesota, St. Paul,starting in animal science and ag economics.

He ultimately changed majors to what at the timewas new — animal and plant systems with anemphasis in horticultural food products.

“That’s a long name for a major, but that was mylove — horticultural food production.”

As a U of M senior he took a class that used casestudies, and one was a case study of a field represen-tative for an actual southern Minnesota canningcompany. “That piqued my interest.”

The opportunity arose for an internship withStokely USA in DeForest, Wis. Six weeks into his

internship, as full-time position came available as afield representative with Stokely in Ackley, Iowa.

He hasn’t looked back since.He has worked in various capacities with the com-

pany, which has gone through a number of namechanges, and currently is general manager at theLakeside Foods production plant in New Richmond,Wis. “I’m really proud of that fact, that I’ve beenwith the same company for 20 years.” The NewRichmond plant processes green beans, red beets,carrots and potatoes, most of that produce comingfrom within Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Enter knew he wanted to work in agriculture,with the intent as a youngster to farm, but heknows his career path would have been differenthad it not been for the FFA experience. “The FFAexperience was essential in gaining me confidence,and gaining a love for service. Working with peopleis so rewarding. That experience of being in front ofa group of people has made a big difference for meas a business leader.”

Enter gives credit where credit is due. In additionto FFA, Enter knows God gave him the talent. “Godgave me the talents, FFA gave me the opportunityto use it and refine it.”

Enter and his wife, Amy, have encouraged theirfour children to use the talents that they had beengiven, both leading by example.

Amy was state 4-H vice president the same yearMark served as state FFA vice president, and theymet at a youth leadership conference in Knoxville,Tenn. They met again at that year’s (1987) state fair,and then started dating and got married in 1989.

HELGET, from pg. 8ABusch thought that the young Helgethad what it took to be a state officer,adding to the long list of state officersfrom the chapter.

“He thought I had a good shot at it,”she recalls. “I remember him tellingme, ‘well, you know, everyone (fromSt. James) who has run for a stateoffice has got it.’ No pressure there.”

Obviously, she did have what ittook.

“I am so glad that I did it. I learnedso much, met so many people,” shesaid. “You get a nice combination ofskills that helped me with the peopleaspect.”

During her year as state officer, shewas attending Winona State Univer-sity in the nursing program. Shewould later transfer to the Universityof Minnesota to major in ag education.

After graduating from the U of M in1991 she went to work for Nutrena

Feeds under Cargill.Connie and her first husband, Rick

Haler, moved back to Minnesota fromKansas as they were in the process ofcompleting their family.

“I had been offered a teaching job atSibley East High School, but our sec-ond child was on the way, and I didn’ttake that job.”

What she did do was go back to nurs-ing school, completing her degree in1997. She started working at RidgeviewMedical Center in Waconia, Minn., in1993, and has been there since.

She has worked in various depart-ments at the medical center, “workedthe shifts to cater to family time,” withthe emergency room being her favoritedue to the “adrenaline rush.”

She is now in the endoscopy depart-ment at the clinic, mostly in Waconia,with occasional shifts in Chaska.

Paul Day’s lessons have come intouse in her work at the medical center.

“He taught us how to communicate,”she said. “He said ‘you are the one tokeep the conversation going.’”

He also taught officers “the ability tomask your feelings and carry on withempathy and sympathy. ... knowingthe right thing to say.”

That has served her well in the med-ical field.

Connie’s daughters — Chaneen, Vic-toria and Jenifer — all are holdingonto the dairy background of theirmother. Chaneen, now a freshman atthe U of M, was a Princess Kay of theMilky Way finalist last year. Victoria, ahigh school senior, is a Carver Countydairy princess this year, and Jenifer, ahigh school junior, is going to dairybowl for 4-H.

“We live five to six miles from my for-mer husband’s farm, so the girls canhave that farm connection,” she said.Connie and Ken Haasken married inOctober 2011.

Connie herself has “always beeninvolved in the dairy princess program.”

She looks back at the upbringing sheand her seven siblings by their par-ents, Darrel and Vivian Helget. “Theydid well teaching us morals, and theylet us push ourselves.”

Pushing herself to the state officerposition was one of the best moves sheever made.

“That year (as state officer) probablychanged my life more than any otheryear, other than having kids.” ❖

The members of the New York Mills,Minn., High School FFA chapter didsome serious networking betweenJan. 16 and Feb. 29.

They made phone calls and personalvisits to friends and acquaintances.They sent e-mails to every farmerthey could think of. They even went tobasketball games and wrestlingmatches and passed out cards withtheir message on.

Their message was: Please supportthe New York Mills FFA in the Chap-ter Challenge. Vote for the New YorkMills FFA.

On March 14 the National FFAannounced that the hard work by theNew York Mills chapter had paid off.One hundred and fifty-four farmershad voted for the chapter. That wasmore votes than any other Minnesotachapter received.

“Whoever got the most votes won$2,500,” said Jenna White, a 10th graderwho is the chapter reporter. “I think wewon because we went and talked to morepeople. I think the face-to-face contactwas more effective than sending e-mail.”

Logan Milligan, the chapter’s ninthgrade historian, agrees with White’sassessment that the New York Mills chap-ter members worked hard.But he believesthat the area of east Otter Tail Countythat the chapter represents is unique.

“We asked everybody in the chapterto talk to at least four farmers. Thathelped us a lot,” Milligan said. “Wewon because our community hasalways supported agriculture. We havea lot of farmers in the area that like tosupport the chapter.”

The Chapter Challenge is a joint projectbetween the National FFA and Monsanto.The premise is simple. Chapters vote toparticipate in the challenge. Once they dothat, and register online with the NationalFFA, they start working the phones and

their e-mail address list.They ask farmersand relatives to go to www.FFAChapter-Challenge.com and vote for their chapter.It’s not complicated.

“All the farmers I talked to had inter-net connections,” White said.

This was the second year for the Chap-ter Challenge, according to a press releasefrom the National FFA. Eleven states inaddition to Minnesota participated:Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Iowa, Illi-nois, Indiana, Louisiana, Missouri, Missis-sippi, Tennessee and Texas. A total of 856chapters participated and more than10,000 farmers voted.

In Minnesota, the Mahnomen FFAchapter came in second and Gibbon-Fairfax-Winthrop, Kasson-Man-torville, Mora, Dassel-Cokato, LeRoy-Ostrander, Lewiston-Altura,Rushford-Peterson and Owatonnascored in the Top 10. Chapters in Ben-son, Lac qui Parle Valley, Little Falls,Morris Area, Randolph, Russell-Tyler-Ruthton, Springfield and Worthingtonwere selected as at-large winners.

In Iowa, the Boone A&M FFA tooktop honors, with Waukon, WesternDubuque, Audubon, Starmont, Deco-rah, North-Linn, Iowa Falls-Alden, Val-ley High School and Muscatine round-ing out the top 10. At-large winners inIowa were Cascade, Central Decatur,

Creston, East Sac,Edgewood-Colesburgand Sumner Freder-icksburg. All of thewinning chaptersreceived prizes of$1,000 or more.

The LawrenceCounty FFA Chapterin Moulton, Ala., wonthe 2012 FFA ChapterChallenge grandprize. That prize, val-ued at $6,500, willsend six FFA mem-bers and one adviserto October’s 85thNational FFA Conven-tion in Indianapolis.

The New York Mills FFA prize of$2,500 will go toward chapter supplies.

“We voted on how to use the money,”Milligan said. “We’ll use it for jackets,supplies and officer paraphernalia.”

“We feel really good about having won.It will help our chapter a lot,” White said.“We will be able to buy jackets for every-body. We have some jackets but a lot ofthem are pretty old. You have to wear anofficial jacket at a contest.”

White has been in the FFA since shewas in the eighth grade.

“I sell cattle and the FFA wasanother way to get out there and sellmy cattle,” she said. “I sell SouthDevons. They are a British breed thatis something like an Angus.”

Milligan, who has been a FFA membersince seventh grade, is interested in theBritish breeds of beef cattle as well.

“I have shown registered Herefordsat the county fair, State Fair and BeefExpo,” he said. “This year we’re goingto do more shows. I enjoy showingbecause you meet new people. Also, Ienjoy doing well and winning.”

Both Milligan and White said theywere proud to be members of Min-nesota’s winning chapter for the Chap-ter Challenge contest. ❖Website: wahlsprayfoaminsulation.com

With one year togo, Pope Countyyoung farmer PaulSyverson hasalready investedabout $75,000 in hisfour-year study tobecome a Universityof Minnesota Veterinary Medicinegraduate.

“Yes, it will be over a $100,000 pack-age when I graduate but ever sincemy high school ag program this has

been my goal,” Syverson said duringan interview at the recent West Cen-tral Minnesota Ag Show where he andhis dad, Richard, were assisting at theKandiyohi Country Corn Growers dis-play booth.

Young Syverson is specializing in the“food animal” program of the Univer-sity of Minnesota vet school. That’sbecause he’s a product of a dairy farmand while doing his undergraduatebachelor degree work he realized hewas still passionate about livestockagriculture. “So my goal is to workwith livestock producers assisting

them in producing high-quality food intheir farming operation,” he said.

The U of M was an easy choice forSyverson since both his parents are Uof M graduates. He majored in biologyas an undergraduate so vet school wasa logical way for him to use his sciencebackground and stay connected toagriculture.

Remember when a vet med studentchose either “large animal” or “small ani-mal” studies? Today a student can spe-cialize in five different livestock entitiesat the U of M vet school, one of 15 collegesand universities nationwide that offersuch a tracking program. Choices areFood Animal, Small Animal, Equine,Mixed and Interdisciplinary.

Food Animal, much as the name sug-gests, relates to animals grown for foodpurposes be that cattle, swine, sheep,goats, poultry and aquaculture. Thefood animal track isn’t the largest.However, Syverson said that more vetmed students who didn’t grow up on afarm are now seeing the growth oppor-tunities within the livestock industry.

Small Animal has the most students.“The market for small animal medicineand ‘companion animal’ medicine in themetropolitan area is so large, and con-

stantly growing. Plus many vet med stu-dents are from the Twin City-area andwant to maintain that connection whenthey graduate,” Syverson said.

He’s eager about the future eventhough he will have a significant collegeloan to payoff. However, his wife, cur-rently a U of M medical student, will alsohave good income opportunities when shegraduates. “So we’ll be working togetherto pay off our college loans,” he said.

According to Syverson, about 100 stu-dents are currently enrolled in the U ofM Veterinary College with about 80 per-cent of them females. Adjacent to the vetcollege is the university’s VeterinaryMedical Center, identified as the nation’sbusiest teaching hospital, treating morethan 35,000 companion and 4,000 largeanimal cases annually.

Veterinary careers range from pri-vate practices, teaching and research,regulatory medicine, public health andmilitary service. The U of M VeterinaryMedicine College is rated No. 9 in thecountry according to U.S. News &World Report. Out of 25 surveyed, No.1 is Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y.;No. 2 is University of California,Davis; No. 5 is University of Wiscon-sin, Madison. Iowa State Universityranked No. 17. ❖

Paul Syverson

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

“I love every day. Every day zoomsby faster than yesterday.”

That excitement comes from 33-year-old Natasha Mortenson, 11-year agricultural educator and FFAadviser at Morris Area High Schooland recently honored by the U.S.Department of Agriculture’sNational Institute of Food and Agri-culture as one of five teachers nationwide to win theNational AgLiteracy Teaching Award.

A huge part of her excitement stems from the Mor-ris Area FFA alumni and her FFA chapter memberswho two years ago initiated an “Agriculture in theCity” project. The project consists of FFA studentsvisiting Minneapolis elementary schools to teachstudents kindergarten though eighth grade aboutagriculture and food production.

On May 18, a bus load of Morris FFA students willbe doing hands-on education to 1,200 students atAnderson Elementary School in north Minneapolis.And hands-on it is indeed.

Her FFA members haul live animals, sets up pensfor the animals, and then conduct “tell and show”demonstrations about where food comes from.“These city kids mostly believe the big supermarket,or a local grocery, is their food source. When they lis-ten to our students and see the live animals, sud-denly there’s a whole lot of learning about agricul-ture and food production,” Mortenson said.

A few years ago she developed a mentor programbetween her high school FFA students and the Mor-ris Elementary School. This program flourished.Kids were excited, teachers were pleased, parentswere appreciative, and area farmers were impressedthat finally someone was taking the ag story directlyto the young kids. One of Mortenson’s FFA graduateswho is active in Stevens County Pork Producers sug-gested the FFA should take the same message toyouth in the “big city.”

Today every commodity group, two local elevators,the county Farm Bureau and the Morris Area Cham-ber of Commerce are pitching in financially, provid-ing some manpower, even hauling the live animals toMinneapolis for this one-day agricultural educationevent.

“What mostly slows down FFA activity is money,”Mortenson said. “Ag in the City is a costly project forour FFA but the financial support today is tremen-dous. Just busing our students in for the day is likean $1,100 expense but thanks to our farm groupsand others, we’re covered.” The chapter earned a cou-ple of grants this year from the Minnesota Pork Pro-ducers and the West Central Ag group (WillmarFarm Show hosts). “We have a lot of believers andthat’s what makes it happen,” she said.

The West Central Minnesota Cattlemen’s Associa-tion is hauling grills to Anderson Elementary May18, grilling and serving cheese burgers for all 1,200students.

“Since we started this mentoring program usingour own FFA members,” Mortenson said, “the big pic-

ture of agriculture is now in focus both for my stu-dents and the elementary students. We even get intohow legislation pertaining to agriculture and farm-ing is brought forth in the state legislature. Weinvite our area senators and representatives tomake presentations in our classes here at Morris.And we invite the governor, our commissioner ofagriculture and Twin Cities elected officials to ourMay 18 event.”

Today, the Morris FFA chapter is 94 membersstrong from eighth through 12th grades, with about50-50 boy-girl ratio. “We have a lot of farm kids anda growing number of non-farm kids who are pas-sionate about agriculture. And that is why ourclassroom programs and our FFA membershipkeeps growing,” Mortenson said.

MORRIS, from pg. 21ASo who gets on board for the annual

trip to Minneapolis? They can’t take all 94 FFAers , so

students who have been active in“Pals” — a first grade classroomteaching program — are first on thelist for the Twin Cities trip. About 40to 50 students participate each year.

Mortenson credits FFA Leadership

Development programs for preppingher students to be positive and enthu-siastic presenters telling the “ag story”to the elementary students. She alsopairs her older FFA students withyounger FFAers to help teach how tomake good presentations.

Only market-size animals are hauledin for the “Agriculture in the City”event. “We use market-ready animalsso the students better understand the

food chain,” she said. That means amature beef animal, a market hog, abreeding ewe, a dairy cow which getsmilked by one of the FFA members asstudents watch, and this year poultrymay be added to the mix. The FFA stu-dent doing the milking also displaysseveral dairy products made from milkso that students understand how milkfrom a cow can be processed into manyadditional healthy food products.

How does a city school get chosen forthis teaching-learning event? Al With-ers, director of Minnesota Departmentof Agriculture’s Ag in the Classroomprogram, coordinated the first twoevents. But proof positive that a superprogram markets itself, this year ateacher at Anderson ElementarySchool heard about this event and con-tacted Mortenson. The past two yearsthe Morris FFAers have done twoschools each day, a morning and after-noon session, but Anderson Elemen-tary’s size will make theirs an all-dayevent.

The Morris Area FFA Alumni Chap-ter pays for the meat, cheese and bunsfor the cheeseburger lunch. Cattlemenprovide their own grills, and a localgroup of 15 farmers and agribusiness-men assist as needed.

Apparently the ag teaching fever iscontagious. Last year a dozen kidsfrom the Howard Lake-Waverly-Win-sted FFA traveled with the Morris con-tingent. This year they’re doing theirown “travel and teach” program toanother Twin Cities school. This yeartwo more area FFA chapters may beinvited. “Once you see it, you can do it,”is the modest comment by Mortenson,who would like to see this programstarted with many other FFA chaptersacross the state. “There are a lot ofurban and suburban schools that coulduse this kind of education.”

She thinks the FFA is the perfect organ-ization to conduct these city visits. Tomake the ag story even more understand-able, this year Mortenson and her FFAchapter are putting together a video show-ing Morris area farmers actually doingtheir livestock work, their field work, eventheir marketing. “Last year we noted thateven though the kids love our classes theystill have a difficult time understandingwhat this farming business is all about,”she said. “So a ‘show and tell’ with realfarmers should open their eyes.” Theirshort DVD will be left with every teacherso the education can continue after theMorris FFA leaves the school.

MORRIS, from pg. 22AThe Morris FFA Alumni is inviting

teachers in the schools visited to comefor a day-trip to the Morris area foractual farm visits, and will providethem with teaching books about agri-culture. “Get the teachers better edu-cated about agriculture and I’m certaintheir students will be learning lotsmore about agriculture and the foodthey eat,” Mortenson said.

The Morris FFA students learn a lotduring these city teaching experiences,too. “The culture is awesome,” she said.“Lots of different skin colors of thesekids, but also our FFAers are all Cau-casians so it’s an immediate culturalexchange. My students are hearing dif-ferent languages and seeing differentraces so it’s real cool for my kids, too.”

Mortenson has real farm blood in herveins, growing up on her parents Jerryand Betty Cronen’s corn-soybean farmabout 15 miles south of Benson, Minn.Her teaching career started at Morris

Area High School. She knew as a ninthgrader that teaching agriculture wouldbe her career. Credit her Benson HighSchool FFA adviser, Chuck Erickson,for Mortenson’s fever to teach ag. Thefever strengthened when at the Min-nesota State FFA Convention she waselected a state officer. Her first ag edu-cation class at the University of Min-nesota capped her ambition.

“I got to be a proud farm kid and it’s notalways easy to find a spot where you canbe a proud farm kid,” she said. “For me ageducation at the U of M was the spot.”

Mortenson, along with NationalAgLiteracy Teaching Award winnersfrom Florida, Maine, New Mexico andWyoming, will be recognized with anExcellence in Teaching About Agricul-ture Award at the 2012 National Agri-culture in the Classroom Conference inColorado.

Spot to be a proud farm kid

Let’s face it. It’s no news flash that farmers areoften known to be great innovators. It’s also no bignews that, over the years, they have learned thatskill out of necessity. It is, after all, the mother ofinvention.

Most of us have experienced that prices are notalways good on the farm, and those expenses justkeep coming, and those repairs all still need to bemade. When the farmer takes a gander at his check-book and sees that buying new just isn’t going tohappen, he’s left to daydream about what it willtake to replace the new with the rebuilt or

redesigned.It doesn’t always look like it came right out of the

factory, but most of the time it gets the job done, andwith very little cost. Enough of this kind of thinkingcould render him enough cash flow to farm yetanother year.

My husband, who has stayed as busy rebuildingtractor and implement parts as Michael Jackson’splastic surgeons, is always on the lookout for a bar-gain. Thirty years of farming has taught him thatyou might “have” this year, and you may not “have”

again the next year. It didn’ttake me long to figure out thatmy husband could have sur-vived the Great Depression —with the drive he has to makedo with what he has, to dothings himself, and by beingsmart about doing necessarythings as cheaply as he can.

I hope that last characteristicdidn’t govern how he selectedhis wife.

Here at the Schwallers, it’s nodifferent when that same

farmer undertakes a task in the house. Take, for exam-ple, my husband’s approach to child care when one ofour (then) elementary-school-aged sons was sick andstayed home from school. I had some things going onat work that I needed to be there for, but could haverescheduled. My husband, on the other hand, said itwould be ridiculous for me to stay home when hewould be home and working outside all day anyway,and could check in on our son from time to time.

TABLE TALK

TABLE TALK, from pg. 24AConcerned that he still would not be in the house

when our son’s past 24-hour diet would be seen visi-bly, (I didn’t want to be called home to steam cleanthe carpet), I said I would just stay home. He, beingthe farmer and the one used to coming up with hisown ideas and inventions, had an idea, of course.

He went to the office and cut a long piece of yarnand grabbed a sheet of red construction paper. Hetied the yarn into a hole he’d made at the top of thepiece of paper and draped the paper and string overthe curtain rod, letting the paper fall to the floor. Hethen proceeded to explain to me that his plan wouldwork great.

Our son would be on the couch (which was next tothe living room window, which faced out into thefarm yard). If he felt like he was getting sick andneeded help, he could pull on the long string of yarn,pulling the sheet of construction paper into full viewin the window, and my husband would then, (even ifhe was outside) see that he needed his help rightaway.

And there we had it — a father’s health care planhanging from a piece of yarn in the window. And theplan did work perfectly. Fathers of invention getvery little credit compared to their gender opposite.

Of course, one of those things that many a farmwife has learned to do, is cut the family’s hair. Whenthe hog market first took a dive in 1993, paying forhair cuts was something that was slashed from thebudget. I had to learn how to do it or let everyone

walk around looking like they belonged to theRolling Stones. It would be years before our childrenwanted to look that way.

After a lot of years of using the apron that sepa-rates man from his own severed hair, the string usedto tie it around the neck finally wore through andbroke. Wondering how I was going to fix this, myhusband — who happened to be in the basement bar-ber chair at that time — had an idea right away.

Out came the veterinary supplies tub, and hefished out a clean prolapse needle and some string,also used to fix said prolapses. He threaded the nee-dle, then proceeded to sew the string very carefullyin and out around the top of the apron, leaving two

long pieces at each end so that I could tie it again.Who knew that livestock female problems could

actually contribute positively to household repairs?It’s been said that, to be successful at raising live-

stock, you have to learn to think like the livestock.While happy that I never did learn how to thinklike a hog, I do think I better first master learningto think like a farmer.

It could keep me in the farm wife business for yetanother year.

Grain AnglesHuman error foundin best estimates

Last week was spring break for my wife, who is afirst-grade teacher, and our youngest daughter whois a junior in high school. I have gradually recognizedthe value of taking a winter or early spring vacationsince moving to Minnesota.

Over the years, I have also learned the value of tak-ing a break from the markets. Itis helpful to disengage from theday-to-day focus on all of the lat-est news, theories or rumorsabout the markets. I have alsofound it helpful to travel outsideof my local growing area to bereminded that the world grainmarkets do not revolve aroundwhat I see out my back door.

I will grant that I generallynever fully disengage from study-ing the agricultural activity of thelocations of my travels. This yearwe traveled to Georgia, SouthCarolina and North Carolina. The wheat and oatswere all headed out and in the “filling” stages. Asthese crops mature, soybeans likely will be plantedinto the stubble after harvest. The corn was 12 to 16inches tall and being sprayed with herbicides. Thelife of a farmer is similar no matter where you live.Risk, volatility and opportunity do not have geo-graphical boundaries.

Upon returning and catching up on my mail, e-mail, market news and other sources of information,I saw a wide range of reactions to the latest U.S.Department of Agriculture report. They ranged fromrants, “I don’t trust the USDA numbers,” conspirator-ial innuendo, international espionage, to “96 millionacres of corn and a 164 bushels per acre trend line,

Grain OutlookCorn posts gains

after reportsThe following market analysis is for the week end-

ing April 5.CORN — Corn continued to post gains on follow-

through buying after last week’s U.S. Department ofAgriculture stocks and acreage reports. For the holi-day-shortened week, May corn was up 14 1/4 cents at$6.58 1/4 and the December con-tract rose a dime to close at$5.50 1/4 per bushel. The firstcrop progress report pegged cornplanting at 3 percent completeas of April 1, 1 percent ahead ofthe five-year average.

This week’s ethanol produc-tion was 16,000 barrels per dayless than the previous week andis 3.2 percent below last year.Ethanol inventory was downslightly this week, but continuesnear record levels. Reportedly,ethanol margins are slightly inthe red, but forward curve margins are showing adecent return.

Weekly corn sales were excellent (remember thesewere made before the USDA report) at nearly 37 mil-lion bushels, of which over 40 percent was to China.This brings total commitments to 12 percent lessthan last year, but total exports are projected to bedown 7.3 percent this year, so the number is not asdisappointing as it may seem at first blush. Another7.3 million bushels of new crop was also reported,bringing total 2012-13 commitments to 72.6 millionbushels.

The average trade estimate for the upcomingUSDA monthly supply-demand report for 2011-12U.S. ending corn stocks is 721 million bushels as

Livestock AnglesCattle, hogs

under pressureThe livestock markets have been under consider-

able pressure lately as prices have fallen sharplyover the past several weeks. Weakening demand andadequate supplies have put both cattle and hog mar-kets on the defensive.

It appears the fundamentals finally caught up withthe cattle market during the past30 days. After the large influx ofmanaged money in the futuresmarket had pushed pricesbeyond the point where demandbegan to shrink for the beef prod-ucts, the buying dried up. Thesubsequent result was an imme-diate readjustment of the currentprice structure.

This supports the old adagethat the cure for high prices ishigh prices. Now that the cattlemarket has gone through thisprice adjustment, the probabilityof the overall fundamentals of supply and demandare likely to reassert themselves into the currentpricing structure.

Boxed beef prices have taken a severe drop over thepast several weeks under the weakening demand forbeef. Because of this readjustment in price, it is likelythat boxed beef prices will begin to stabilize and helpthe overall cattle market steady in the weeks ahead.

Because of all these events over the past severalweeks, the trend in the market appears to be chang-ing from a bull market to a bear market. That doesnot mean that there will be no rallies but that anyrallies will fall short of expectations.

With the futures well discount to the cash marketand oversold, rallies can be expected in the short

NYSTROM, from pg. 26Aopposed to 801 million on the Marchreport. For South American production,Brazil is estimated at 61.8 million metrictons versus 62.0 mmt last month andArgentina at 21.5 mmt versus 22.0 mmtlast month. Some private Argentine cornestimates are as low as 20 mmt.

In a “that’s curious” note, the USDAextended Conservation Reserve Pro-gram sign-up by a week from April 6 toApril 13 to allow for processing due tostrong interest. A record 6.5 millionacres is due to come out of CRP Sept.30. The current sign-up is for re-enroll-

ment and new acres.OUTLOOK: Some

cold temperaturesare predicted for the week of April 9,but shouldn’t cause damage to wheatareas. Growers are anxious — that’sputting it mildly — to get the corn seedin the ground. Everything looks fine todo that, except the calendar. When theplanters start rolling, this crop couldbe planted in record time with today’sequipment and early preparation. Oldcrop corn’s next test is closer to $6.75,then possibly $7 per bushel. Newcrop’s first resistance comes in at $5.65to $5.75 per bushel.

SOYBEANS — Buyersdid not lose their enthusi-

asm for soybeans this weekafter the bullish USDA reports and asestimates from South America keepshrinking. May soybeans jumped 31cents for the week to settle at $14.34while the November was 23 1/2 centshigher at $13.81 1/2 per bushel.China’s markets were on holiday forthree days this week, but came backwith good gains and crush margins attheir best level since January.

The average trade estimatefor the April 10 USDAreport for Brazilian beanproduction is 67 mmtversus the MarchUSDA figure of 68.5mmt. ForArgentina, theaverage tradeguess is 45.3 mmt,down from theMarch USDA 46.5mmt number.There have beenrecent estimates aslow as 65.2 mmt forBrazil and 43 mmt forArgentina. The U.S.attaché is at 66 mmt for Brazil.Argentina’s bean harvest is thoughtto be 13 percent complete. The averageestimate for U.S. ending stocks for 2011-12 ending stocks is 246 million bushelsas compared to 275 million on the Marchreport.

Weekly soybean exports were strongat 15 million for old crop and almost 26million for new crop. Total old cropcommitments are 22 percent behindlast year, but exports are forecast to bedown 15 percent this year. We havealready committed over 91 percent ofthe USDA 1.275 billion bushel export

forecast. China was in the marketagain this week buying old crop soy-beans with an unknown buyer pur-chasing new crop soymeal.

OUTLOOK: Nothing changed thisweek as we continue to trend higher onmore money coming into the market onthe long side and South American pro-duction estimates that continue to con-tract. How many corn acres will actuallybe switched to soybeans? That’s a bigunknown, but probably not enough yet.

Old crop beans’ next target $14.50to $15, while new crop still

has its eye on $14 plus.My word of cautionwill be to watch out

for high volatilityand possiblesharp setbacks.The market is allleaning to thelong side and thebull must be fedregularly. How-ever, until proven

wrong, the trend ishigher and buyers

are there to add tolength on any setback.

Nystrom’s notes: Contractchanges for the week ending

April 5: Minneapolis wheat was up 81/2 cents, while Chicago was down 221/4 cents and Kansas City was 35 1/2cents lower. Crude oil was up 29 centsat $103.31 on the week, heating oilwas unchanged, gasoline rose 3 1/4cents and natural gas fell another 33/4 cents. As of mid-afternoon April 5,the Dow was down 155 points for theweek, the U.S. dollar index was up1.08 points and gold had lost $40.80for the week. The next USDA reportwill be published April 10. ❖

TEALE, from pg. 26Aterm. Producers should be aware of thegood basis and take advantage of thiscondition for current inventories and userallies to protect longer term inventories.

The hog market has been on the down-ward price spiral since the peak lastAugust. Hog numbers have continued toremain well above projections whichkept pork supplies more than adequateto meet demand. This has kept the hogmarket on the defensive through theentire period. All of this despite the factthat export and domestic demand forpork has continued to expand.

As long as numbers of hogs remain

enough to offset the demand for pork,rallies in hog prices are likely to be shortlived and disappointing overall. Consid-ering the values of the different meats,pork still remains the best value in themarketplace. This should result in hogprices narrowing the gap between itscompetitive meats such as beef.

Seasonally this is the timeframe thatusually sees a rally in hog prices andthis year should likely be no exception.The only caveat would be that the ral-lies are not likely to take the hogprices into new highs over the nexttyear. Producers should approach therallies with caution and protect inven-tories on strength. ❖

NEHER, from pg. 26Acorn will have a 4 (price) in front of it.”All of this said, with less than 5 per-cent of the U.S. crop being planted. It iscommon to “talk” our own position inthe market. As humans, we want tofind some rationalization for our emo-tions in relation to the marketplace.

My experience with the USDAresearch methodology is that they havea structured and disciplined process thatthey use to gather data. They use vari-ous research methods or models togather and analyze the data. Many ofthese still rely on some human interac-tion or judgment. For example, the pro-jected planted acres estimate relies onsurveys with farmers. The crops havenot been planted yet, so it relies on thefarmer’s response or estimate. The accu-racy of the report relies on a human esti-mate. It is impossible to see into thefuture with great accuracy.

Later reports rely on surveys with ele-vator managers and field sampling.

Again, it relies on a human involvement.Do the elevator managers really know,down to the last 10,000 acres how manyacres have been planted? In field sam-pling, a fixed process and formula is usedto determine the estimated yields. Again,humans gather the data by counting andmeasuring samples of plant population,ear size or pod count. There are limits tothe precision of the human effort to collectthis data in a scientific, rational manner.

In an effort to look at this matter in adifferent manner, some have attemptedto use satellite imagery and “green den-sity” mapping to determine acres plantedand yield estimates. This methodology isstill relatively new and its accuracy isstill being refined. We seem to be lookingfor a “silver bullet” that will magicallygive us an edge in the marketplace.

These genuine efforts to find answersto our questions are a worthy cause,even if they are not perfect. Until theybecome perfect, let us continue workingto find the grain angles to help us man-age our margins. ❖

Limits to precision

Hogs on downward spiral

The “Average Crop Revenue Election” pro-gram was implemented by the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture for the 2009 crop year,as part of the “Food, Conservation, andEnergy Act of 2008” (the 2008 farm bill), andcontinued for the 2010 and 2011 crop years.

In 2012, eligible farmers will againhave the option to enroll in the ACREprogram, as an alternative to the current“Counter-Cyclical Payment” program thatwas initiated in 2003 as part of the lastfarm bill. The ACRE program will offerthe potential of “revenue-based” pay-ments, based on yield and price, ascompared to current “price-only”CCP calculations. The official ACREprogram information is available atcounty Farm Service Agency offices, and on theUSDA FSA website at www.fsa.usda.gov/FSA.2011 ACRE crop payment potential

Following is a summary of the potential for ACREpayments for 2011 corn, soybeans and wheat inMinnesota as of April 1.Corn

The 2011 ACRE benchmark state yield for corn inMinnesota was 166 bushels per acre, and the NationalAgricultural Statistics Service benchmark price was$4.37 per bushel, resulting in an estimated statewideACRE revenue guarantee for 2011 of $626.13 per acre.According to the latest projections, the USDA esti-mated the 2011 statewide corn yield at 156 bushels peracre and the 12-month national average corn market

price for 2011 is estimated $6.20/bu. Basedon the current USDA data, there would notbe a 2011 ACRE payment for corn in Min-nesota. There was also no ACRE payment in

2009 or 2010.Soybeans

The 2011 ACRE benchmark stateyield for soybeans in Minnesota was 42

bu./acre and the NASS benchmark price was $10.45/bu.,resulting in an estimated statewide ACRE revenue guar-antee of $395.01/acre.According to the latest USDA pro-jections, the estimated 2011 statewide soybean yield was38.5 bu./acre and the 12-month national average soy-bean price for 2011 is estimated at $12/bu. Based on thecurrent USDA numbers, there would not be a 2011ACRE payment for soybeans in Minnesota.There wasalso no soybean ACRE payment in 2009 or 2010.Wheat

The 2011 ACRE benchmark state yield for wheat inMinnesota was 51.8 bu./acre and the NASS bench-mark price was $5.29/bu., resulting in an estimatedstatewide ACRE revenue guarantee of $246.62/acre.According to the latest USDA projections, the esti-

mated 12-month national average wheat price for2011 is $7.30/bu. Based on the current USDA num-bers, there would not be a 2011 ACRE payment forwheat in Minnesota. There also was no ACRE pay-ment in 2010, but there was a 2009 ACRE paymentfor wheat in Minnesota for most producers, with anaverage payment of $40.61/acre.2012 ACRE program details

Producers that previously enrolled in the ACRE forthe 2009, 2010 or 2011 crop year will be enrolled inACRE for 2012, provided that they sign up for the 2012farm program at county FSA offices, and meet all otherprogram criteria. Other producers can enroll in ACREfor 2012 when they sign up for the 2012 farm programat anytime until June 1. Producers may sign up for the2012 “Direct and Counter-Cyclical” program at anytime at their county FSA office, and wait until a laterdate, up until June 1, to decide on enrollment in theACRE program. Only about 8 percent of crop producersnationwide, and about 13 percent of the total eligibleacres, were enrolled in ACRE for the 2009 crop year,with a few more farms and acres being added for the2010 and 2011 crop years.Direct Payment and CCC loan rates with ACRE

Direct payments will be reduced by 20 percent(approximately $3 to $5/acre), and national andcounty Commodity Credit Corp. loan rates will bereduced by 30 percent on farms enrolled in theACRE program for 2012. The national loan rates willdrop from $1.95/bu. to $1.37/bu. for corn; from $5/bu.to $3.50/bu. for soybeans; and from $2.94/bu. to

FARM PROGRAMS

By Kent Thiesse

See PROGRAMS, pg. 29A

In 2012, eligible farmers will again have the option to enroll in theACRE program, as an alternative to the current ‘Counter-Cyclical Pay-ment’ program that was initiated in 2003 as part of the last farmbill.

PROGRAMS, from pg. 28A$2.06/bu. for wheat.Price guarantees withACRE

The ACRE price guarantee for all crops is the nationalaverage price for the previous two years, which is basedon the 12-month marketing period for corn and soy-beans from Sept. 1 in the year of harvest until Aug. 31the following year, and June 1 to May 31 for wheat andother small grain crops. The 2011 price guarantees werebased on the national average price for 2009 and 2010,while the 2012 price guarantees will be based on thenational average price for 2010 and 2011.

The final ACRE price guarantees for 2010 and2011 crop years, as well as the preliminary USDAguarantee price estimate (as of April 1) for the 2012crop year, are shown in Table 1 on Page 30A; how-ever, 2012 prices for corn and soybeans will not befinalized until Oct. 1.Yield guarantees with ACRE

The state yield guarantee for 2012 is the “Olympicaverage” state yield for the past five years (2007-11),with the highest and lowest yield being dropped, andthe three remaining yields being averaged.

(Example for Minnesota: Corn yields of 146, 164,174, 177 and 156 with the 177 and 146 beingdropped, and a resulting average yield of 165bu./acre, which is 1 bushel lower than 2011.) Theaverage state yields for a given year are based on theNASS.

The farm-level yield guarantee will be the “Olympicaverage” actual or “proven” farm yield for the past fiveyears (2007-11), with the highest and lowest yieldbeing dropped, and the three remaining yields beingaveraged. For each year that the program crop was notraised (2007-11), or that the yield cannot be proven, a“Plug Yield” equal to 95 percent of the county averageyield (from NASS) will be used.

(Example: County average corn yield of170 bu./acre x 0.95 = 161.5 bu./acre)

Revenue guarantees with ACREState revenue guarantee = “Olympic average” state

yield x 2-year average price x 0.90

(Soybean example, 2012: 40 bu./acre x $11.65/bu. x0.90 = $419.40/acre )

Farm-level guarantee = Average farm yield x 2-year average price + 2012 crop insurance premium

Guarantee is ‘Olympic average’ yield of past five years

PROGRAMS, from pg. 29A(Corn example, 2012: 178

bu./acre x $5.69/bu. +$25/acre = $1,037.82/acre)Maximum revenue guaranteeswith ACRE

Both state and farm level guaranteesare recalculated each year, based onchanging average yields and prices.ACRE revenue guarantees cannot varyup or down by more than 10 percentfrom one year to the next. In Min-nesota, this will result in a corn rev-enue guarantee of $688.74 for 2012,rather than the estimated calculatedrevenue guarantee of $844.97 per acre.‘Revenue triggers’ with ACRE

There are two “revenue triggers” thatmust be met before ACRE paymentswill be made: one based on actual staterevenue for a given crop in a particularyear; and the other based on actualfarm-level revenue for that crop in thesame year. In order for a producer toreceive a payment under the ACREprogram, the “actual revenue” for boththe state and farm-level must be lowerthan the corresponding established

revenue guaran-tees for a given

year. The actualrevenue is based on the actual 12-month average price (Sept. 1 to Aug. 31for corn and soybeans) for a crop in theyear of production, times the actualstate average yield, and actual farmyield, respectively. If both “revenue trig-gers” are reached, the ACRE paymentwill be made for that crop on that FSAfarm number for the given year.Calculating ACRE payments

ACRE program payments will be thehigher of difference between the stateguarantee and the actual state rev-enue, times 83.3 percent (0.833), timesthe producer adjustment. The totalACRE payment cannot exceed 25 per-cent of the state revenue guarantee fora given crop. The ACRE payment willbe paid on 85 percent of crop base acres(same as for direct payments) for 2012.The final ACRE payment to eligibleproducers can be adjusted upward,based on farm-level yields.

PROGRAMS, from pg. 30Aof 178 bu./acre, state yieldguarantee of 166 bu./acre,would result in the ACRE payment being factoredupward by 7 percent (x 1.07).

ACRE decision summary for 2012Remember that farm owners and opera-

tors have until June 1 to finalize their deci-sion on enrollment in the ACRE program for 2011.ACRE enrollment does require a signature fromlandlords on cash rental farm units. Producers areencouraged to analyze situations and scenarios thatare more favorable for ACRE enrollment for 2012, aswell as situations where the best option may be con-tinuing with the traditional DCP farm program.

Table 2 on Page 30A shows the 2012 estimatednational average price needed (Sept. 1, 2012 to Aug.31, 2013) to reach the threshold for ACRE paymentsfor the 2012 crop year for corn and soybeans, at aver-age statewide yield, 10 percent yield decrease, and a10 percent yield increase.

Even though the ACRE program did not pay out in2009 and 2010 for corn and soybeans in Minnesota,and will likely not result in an ACRE payment in2011, producers should not automatically “write-off”ACRE program enrollment for the 2012 crop year.

The likely increase in the ACRE price guaranteesfor 2012 will lead to higher revenue guarantees forthe 2012 ACRE program. This increases the likeli-hood of ACRE payments for the 2012 crop year forcorn and soybeans, as compared to previous years.

However, the limitation of the 10 percent increasein the revenue guarantee for corn severely inhibitsthe likelihood of an ACRE payment for corn fromthe 2012 crop year. Current 2012 new crop cornprices for 2012 have been slightly above $5/bu. forcorn, and above $13/bu. for soybeans.

The 12-month national average prices (Sept. 1,2012 to Aug. 31, 2013) would have to be consider-ably lower than those price levels to earn an ACREpayment on 2012 corn and soybeans.

‘Peace’ of history

Sleepy Eye, Minn.

The town of Sleepy Eye has long honored its namesake, SissetonDakota Chief Ish-Tak-Ha-Ba, or Chief Sleepy Eye. Now the

descendants of Chief Sleepy Eye have honored the community bypassing ownership of his peace pipe to the Sleepy Eye Area His-torical Society. The peace pipe was donated by Karyn Cissell, ful-filling the wish of her grandfather, Lazareth Adams. Adams, agrandchild of Chief Sleepy Eye,wanted the pipe returned to thecity when there was no longer adescendant of his to whom itcould be passed on.

According to Debbie Joramo,director of the Historical Soci-ety’s Depot Museum, the peacepipe said to have been ChiefSleepy Eye’s had been in thetown’s library but disappearedafter the town’s 1972 centennialcelebration. How Adamsreceived the peace pipe andfrom whom has never beenrevealed. It’s all a bit of a mys-tery. So is the peace pipeauthentic?

“It matches a peace pipe thatChief Sleepy Eye holds in a photo,” Joramo said. “The museummakes no claims other than that it came from a second genera-tion grandchild of the chief.”

The area around the town of Sleepy Eye once belonged to ChiefSleepy Eye. He came there seasonally to winter around the lake.After a treaty forced him from his Nicollet County home, he hadsettled there for a while. Around 1860, when he was about 80years old and visiting friends in South Dakota, he died frominjuries sustained in a fall from a horse and was buried in SouthDakota.

In 1902 the citizens of Sleepy Eye dedicated a park to theirnamesake next to the train depot. At their request, the chief ’sremains were located and returned to Sleepy Eye to be buriedbeneath a 50-foot tall obelisk in the park. In 1990 the Sleepy EyeArea Historical Society took over the depot for use as a museum.

The town further honored their namesake in 1994 with aneight-foot statue in his true likeness. It was sculpted by JoAnneBird, a member of the Wahpeton-Sisseton band of Lakota (Sioux),the same band as Chief Sleepy Eye.

Chief Ish-Tak-Ha-Ba’s resting place for 110 years has been thecommunity that adopted his name — Sleepy Eye. With a monu-ment to his memory, a statue of his likeness and now what is con-sidered to have been his peace pipe, the ties between the chief andthe community bearing his name are stronger than ever.

The statue stands next to the Post Office, just north of Highway14 on First Avenue. The monument and Depot Museum are acrossthe intersection to the northwest. The Depot museum is open fromMay 1 to Dec. 15, Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Theirwebsite is sleepyeyeareahistoricalsociety.art.officelive.com. ❖

This column was written for the market-ing week ending April 6.

The Cooperatives Working Togetherexport assistance program will begin assist-ing sales of whole milk powder beginningApril 16, according to CWT’s Jim Tillison inThursday’s DairyLine Radio program.

“The whole milk powder situation in theworld market is very important,” he said.“It’s my understanding New Zealand, forexample, has shifted nearly all its produc-tion to whole milk powder because there’ssuch a demand out there.”

Tillison reported that the CWT did an economicanalysis to determine how U.S. prices compared toworld prices, and whether assistance was needed.“We determined assistance was needed, so wedecided to add that product tothe Cheddar cheese, MontereyJack, gouda cheese and butterwe already are providing assis-tance for sales.”

Like sales of other productsreceiving the CWT export assis-tance, whole milk powder sales toMexico and Canada will not be eli-gible, Tillison said. “We have theNorth American Free TradeAgreement, and products shouldbe able to move there withoutassistance,” he said, adding thatAsia and the Middle East willlikely be the primary markets,with some also exported to NorthAfrica. “The beauty of whole milkpowder is that it utilizes both butterfat and nonfat drymilk powder solids, so we should see a positive impact.”

The CWT also accepted five requests for exportassistance this week from Dairy Farmers of America,Darigold, Foremost Farms and Maryland & VirginiaMilk Producers Cooperative to sell a total of 818,000pounds of Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese and1.1 million pounds of butter to customers in Asia andthe Middle East. The product will be deliveredthrough July.

The CWT has assisted member cooperatives in makingexport sales of Cheddar, Monterey Jack and goudacheese totaling 37.8 million pounds and butter totaling33.3 million pounds to 19 countries on four continents so

far in 2012. On a butterfat basis, the milkequivalent of these exports is 1.076 billionpounds, according to the CWT, the equivalentto the annual milk production of 51,000 cows.

■

Meanwhile, the cash dairy marketswere pretty quiet in the holiday-shortenedEaster/Passover week. The 40-poundcheese blocks closed Thursday at $1.4875per pound, down a quarter-cent on theweek, and 10.25 cents below that week ayear ago. The 500-pound barrels closed at$1.46, unchanged on the week, and 8

cents below a year ago. Two cars of block and one ofbarrel traded hands on the week.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s AgriculturalMarketing Service has begun the dairy product price

surveys, formerly providedby the National AgriculturalStatistics Service. It reportedthat the AMS-surveyed U.S.average block cheese pricegained 2.5 cents, hitting$1.5387/lb. The barrel pricewas up 3.6 cents, to $1.5909.

Cash butter closed Thurs-day at $1.43, down 3.25 centson the week and 54.25 centsbelow a year ago. Only onecar was sold on the week.AMS butter averaged$1.5001, up 4.8 cents. AMSnonfat dry milk averaged$1.2965, down 3.9 cents, anddry whey averaged 55.56

cents, down 5.7 cents.Looking “back to the futures,” the average Class III

milk price for the first six months of 2012 stood at$16.35 per hundredweight on Feb. 3, (after factoringin the announced January and February Class IIImilk prices) $16.19 on Feb. 10, $16.08 on Feb. 17,$15.69 on Feb. 24, $15.65 on March 2, $15.77 onMarch 9, $15.99 on March 16, $15.83 on March 23,$16.01 on March, and was hovering around $15.83late morning April 5.

■

Checking the churn, February butter productionhit 170 million pounds, down 5.8 percent from Janu-

ary but 13.9 percent above February 2011, accord-ing to the USDA’s latest Dairy Products report.Keep in mind the data includes an extra Leap Dayof production. Nonfat dry milk output, at 170.7 mil-lion pounds, was up 10.8 percent from January anda whopping 54.7 percent above a year ago.

American-type cheese hit 348 million pounds,down 6.3 percent from January but 5.7 percentabove a year ago. Italian-type totaled 367 million,down 7.8 percent from January and 4.5 percentabove a year ago. Total cheese production amountedto 857.8 million pounds, down 5.8 percent from Jan-uary but 6.2 percent above February 2011.

Price wise, California’s March 4b cheese milkprice was announced April 2 at $13.67/cwt., up 25cents from February, $3.09 below March 2011, $2.05below the comparable Federal order Class III price,

Many of our dairy herds have the potential to lower rationcrude protein levels by at least 0.5 to 1.0 unit without impact-ing herd milk production, according to Larry E. Chase, pro-fessor and Extension specialist in the Department of AnimalScience at Cornell University.Significant economic and envi-ronmental impacts can accompany these changes.

Dairy producers are realizing two incentives forlowering ration crude protein levels. One is toimprove profitability by more efficiently convertingfeed nitrogen intake to milk nitrogen output whilemaintaining or improving milk production. Incomeover feed cost increases along with income over pur-chased feed costs as purchased feed costs decrease.

Secondly, feeding rations with lower crude proteindecreases the excretion of nitrogen into the environ-ment and lowers ammonia emissions. Consequently,the number of acres needed for land application ofmanure decreases. When ammonia emission regula-tions are implemented, the lower animal ammoniaemissions will be beneficial.

A limited number of commercial dairy farms havealready made the step to feeding lower crude proteinrations, Chase said. With these farms, limited oppor-tunity may exist to further lower ration crude pro-tein. These dairies, however, demonstrate that lowercrude protein rations can be used in herds whilemaintaining high levels of milk production.

This release was submitted by Hansen Communica-tions on behalf of Adisseo. ❖

Lower crude protein withno production impact

MIELKE, from pg. 1Band equates to about $1.18 per gallon.That put the 2012 4b average at$13.77, down from $15.39 at this time ayear ago, and compares to $12.27 in2010.

The 4a butter-powder price is $15.33,down 18 cents from February and$3.09 below a year ago. The 4a averagestands at $15.67, down from $17.81 ayear ago and $13.14 in 2010.

■

The USDA’s latest Ag Prices reportput the March milk-feed price ratio at1.48, 0.07 points lower than lastmonth’s revised 1.55 and 0.64 pointslower than last year’s 2.12. Total feedcosts in March increased 37 cents, to$11.77/cwt. of milk, which triggered aMilk Income Loss Contract paymentfor the first time since April 2010 of38.95 cents for February.

Preliminary calculations point to aMarch payment of around 89 cents,according to Bill Brooks, FC Stonedairy economist. The University of Wis-consin’s Brian Gould predicts 88.9cents for March; 88.9 cents for May;91.1 cents for June; 78.6 cents for July;37.6 cents for August; and nothing forthe rest of the year.

Those payments will be needed.Dairy Profit Weekly editor, DaveNatzke, warned in Friday’s DairyLinethat initial reaction in grain markets tothe 2012 planting intentions and cur-rent grains stocks data indicate thecombined reports could be “the worst oftwo worlds for dairy farmers who buyfeed, with both corn and soybean pricesjumping substantially in the days fol-lowing the reports.”

“One the one hand,” Natzke said,“USDA indicated U.S. corn producerswill plant a record 95.9 million acres in2012, up 4 percent from last year andthe highest total since 1937. On theother hand, USDA said current inven-tories of corn are down 8 percent froma year ago, the reason corn futureswere driven higher.”

He added that the situation with soy-beans, which provide much of the pro-tein in a dairy cow’s diet, is almostexactly opposite. While current soybeaninventories were estimated to be up 10percent from a year ago, soybean grow-ers will plant an estimated 73.9 millionacres in 2012, down 1 percent from2011. Those expectations also pushedsoybean and soy meal futures priceshigher.

Two other major crops will impactdairy farmer feed prices in the year

ahead. The USDA said the nation’sgrowers will boost acres harvested forhay by about 3 percent from a year ago,but it’s still the second smallest hayharvest on record. Also, cotton acreage,which yields cottonseed used in dairyrations, will be reduced 11 percentfrom last year, Natzke said.

The USDA’s March milk-feed priceratio, an index comparing the relation-ship between milk prices and feedcosts, fell to its lowest level since Juneof 2009, Natzke said, and “these cropreports indicate dairy farmers won’tsee any drastic improvement in thatindex soon.”

So, how would things look if the“Dairy Security Act” fashioned by theNational Milk Producers Federationwas law right now? Would it have beentriggered right now? Yes, said Rob Van-denheuvel, of California’s Milk Produc-ers Council. He answers those ques-tions in his March 30 newsletter. Youcan read it at www.milkproducers.org.

In other “political news,” Dairy ProfitWeekly reported that the March 29announcement that the NMPF willassume management of the Real Seallogo, and use it to differentiate domes-tically produced dairy products fromimports, violates a law imposing feeson imported dairy products, accordingto the Cheese Importers Association ofAmerica.

Ken Meyers, CIAA president and amember of the National Dairy Board,said, “it is unfortunate that this actionhas been taken to circumvent therequirements that were clearly setforth by the USDA. This action demon-strates a clear violation of U.S. tradeobligations. If the NMPF plans to usecheckoff monies that now includemandatory contributions by importersto promote domestically produced dairyproducts, importers may need to imple-ment a program to tout the benefits ofpopular cheeses from countries such asFrance, Italy, Denmark, Holland,Argentina, Australia and NewZealand.”

The NMPF shot back in an April 4press release, charging that the CIAA’sannouncement contained incorrectinformation and factual errors. TheNMPF president and CEO Jerry Kozakwrote “it appears that the CIAA lacksfull knowledge of the history, owner-ship and use of the Real Seal programand the concerns voiced by that organi-zation are clearly misplaced.”

Kozak maintains the United DairyIndustry Association still owns the

Real Seal and is free to license it as theorganization deems appropriate. TheNMPF will now be managing thelicensing and marketing.

The UDIA and the National DairyBoard remain separate and distinctentities, Kozak said. The 7.5 cents/cwt.import assessment paid by importersfor promotion purposes is directed tothe NDB, not paid to the UDIA. Legis-lation that established the dairy importassessment does not impose limitations

on how the UDIA manages its assets,he said, including the Real Seal. Nofunds from the NDB have been or willbe used for the NMPF’s operation ofthe Real Seal program, Kozak said.

Lime Spreading“Have you checked your soil PH lately”

Advantages we offer:• We unload directly from the trucks to a floater

(Terra Gator) without stockpiling material.This gives us a more uniform spread with nofoliage to plug up the spreader.

• With direct loading there is no stockpile, nowasted lime or mess in your field.

• We use a floater (Terra Gator) to spread sowe have less compaction.

• We are equipped to spread variable rate usingGPS mapping.

• We service Minnesota and northern Iowa.Why apply Aglime:• A soil ph level of 5.5 nitrogen efficiency is only

77 percent.• A soil ph level of 6.0 nitrogen efficiency still is

only 89 percent.• At a soil ph level of 7.0 fertilizer efficiency is

100 percent.
