Reduced haylage waste and spoilage adds up to increasedprofits, thanks to a new piece of equipment ~ Page 16A

I had the privilege of a rare “doubleheader” May 16.

I drove to Wayzata for an interview withChuck Conner, CEO of the National Coun-cil of Farmer Cooperatives. Sharp guy. Youcan read a question-and-answer sessionwith him starting on Page 19A in thisissue.

In the very same building the Boschwitzfamily maintains their business offices. In1982 U.S. Sen. Rudy Boschwitz appointedmy son Michael into the U.S. MilitaryAcademy at West Point, N.Y. That, asyou can imagine, is a huge favor to acountry family from Olivia, Minn.

Over the past 20-plus years I’ve occasionally hadthe opportunity of a brief greeting and thank you tothe senator. And now this unexpected privilege cameonce again.

I cautiously opened the door and asked if the sena-tor was in. He was. I asked if I might say “hello.” Theperson who looked like a younger Boschwitzsaid, “Go right ahead. He’s in that officeright there” pointing to an open door. Ilooked in; saw the senator sitting at his com-puter. He waved me in. My goodness, hisoffice is Washington, D.C., personified withpictures of the senator and political friendsabundantly displayed.

I reminded him of his generosity 30 yearsearlier when my son became a West Pointcadet.

He offered a chair and our conversation began. Iwas curious about his take on Congress today versusthe 12 years he served as Minnesota senator from1978 to 1990. He reminded me that he was on theSenate ag committee those 12 years. “We used tohave set aside and diversion programs; lots moregovernment involvement in agriculture at that time.I was always an opponent of government in agricul-ture. I felt the marketplace should be the key driverof market prices for farm production.

“Senator Born (of Oklahoma) and I sponsored thelegislation that became the Freedom-to-Farm Bill.The 1980s were difficult for agriculture. The worstrecession since the Depression years of the ’30s.Interest rates into the 20 percentile. Unfortunatelymany farmers went bankrupt. The 1985 farm billincluded provisions to provide farm loans with low

interest and some crop protection pro-gram. But it was not a good era for agri-culture.

“In came Reagan. He didn’t pass anygreat big stimulus bill. He lowered taxesand made the administration more busi-ness friendly. And business peopleresponded with more expansion; morepeople were hired. That started the best25 years this country has ever experi-enced.

“Today Congress seems stymied onmany issues. I think some blame is dueto 24-7 news coverage. The news peoplethink the only thing that makes news is

when they can capture politicians arguing. And itgets worse when the numbers are close like they arein the current Congress. Today’s Senate is 53 Democ-rats and 47 Republicans. Both sides need to beaccommodating and the competition does get a littlerougher.”

Always a political purveyor, the senator said, “butif we elect a Republican president this falland get a Republican Senate plus keep theRepublicans in control of the U.S. House,then we can fix this country because it needsto be fixed.”

Boschwitz said he enjoyed being on theSenate committee and it got better whenDick Lyng became Secretary of Agriculturein 1986. “Dick Lyng was the canniest, thesmartest of anyone in agriculture with

whom I served. I introduced him one time at a spe-cial birthday of USDA. I told the audience that DickLyng was a canny old dude. I was asked to introduceagain at a later date. He came over and whispered inmy ear ‘call me a canny old dude again’.”

How does an 80-year-old former U.S. Senator keepup with the pace of the world? Obviously Boschwitzis well connected. In 2005 he was designated asAmbassador Rudy Boschwitz and served as head ofthe U.S. delegation to the 61st Session of the UnitedNations Commission on Human Rights.

“I enjoy life as it is but I keep up with the world asbest I can. And that’s why I enjoy life. It’s a challeng-ing intellectual environment we’re living in. Youhave to read a lot. You have to pay attention. Butdon’t give up on America and don’t give up on this

To the Editor:In response to the article pub-

lished in The Land magazine onDec. 2, 2011, “Trashing the old barn,” wewould like to address the approach of dispos-ing farm buildings.

In general, it is illegal to burn old farmbuildings and farm debris in order to disposeof them. Disposing of old farm sites throughburning can result in significant fines andpenalties from the Minnesota PollutionControl Agency, as we have experiencedfirsthand.

Additionally, a burn permit does notallow for the burning of material otherthan vegetative matter and cleandimensional lumber (not plywood,painted or preserved). Burning farm-houses and other farm structures typi-cally results in the burning of prohibi-tive materials. A disposal facility permitis generally required to dispose of farmdemolition debris with the exception ofconcrete and reinforcing bar. Burningwaste before burying it may result inthe need to manage that waste at a per-mitted landfill, at increased cost.

If you are considering burning, you

need to read all the terms of yourburn permit. Make sure to contactyour local county solid waste offi-

cial and the MPCA before burning or buryingany material on the land without a permit.Consider hiring inspectors, as well as a certi-fied excavator. It may cost more upfront, butwill be worth it in the end.Reed and Lynae BurgstahlerStewart, Minn.

To the Editor:As you pointed out in the

Opinion section of your May25 edition, it is an importantbut daunting task to educateconsumers about where theirfood comes from. It is alwaysenjoyable to hear what chil-dren think, and the thirdgraders in this survey were noexception.

A group of farmers andagribusiness people in southcentral Minnesota havedecided to tackle the task ofeducating our consumers thissummer. We are organizing aone-day camp called FarmCamp Minnesota for childrenin grades 3 to 6. The purpose ofthis camp is to provide a fun,educational experience for thecampers to learn about mod-ern agriculture and to under-stand how and where theirfood is produced.

The campers will be able tointeract with farmers andagribusiness people as they

learn about corn, soybeans,pork, dairy, beef and poultry.They will be able to participatein many fun activities and alsobe able to ride in a tractor.

The camp will be held at Far-mamerica, west of Waseca, 9a.m.-3 p.m. on Aug. 13. Lunchwill be provided and everybodywill receive a T-shirt and a lotof fun things to take home.

Registration information isavailable by contacting Far-mamerica at their website www.farmamerica.org or bycalling (507) 835-2052.

I want to express my appreci-ation to the agribusinesses,producer groups and individu-als who are donating their timeand resources to make thishappen. I would like to inviteyour readers to help us tell thestory by encouraging any 3 to 6graders they know to join us atFarm Camp Minnesota for aday of fun and learning.Kathy GuseJanesville, Minn.

OPINION

Letter: Educating youth on ag Letter: Learn before you burn

MINDS, from pg. 2Aworld.

“After World War II, there were only 12 democra-cies in the world. Today there are 100 democracies.The important element is this simple fact: There hasnever been a war between two democracies. Sodespite the turmoil on Planet Earth, the world is get-ting better. We have a bunch of crazies in this worldunfortunately. Much of this turmoil is people tryingto get rid of their dictatorial leadership. These peo-ple, too, want democracy. And as that continues tohappen around the world we will become a betterworld.

“Despite our great discontent, America is bettertoday than any time in our great history. Democra-cies only work when people respect each other andare willing to work together for the common cause.”

My brief visit with Sen. Boschwitz reaffirmed me ofhis great faith in America. As he walked me out ofhis office he gently took my hand, “remember thatfaith in America starts with a strong religious faith.”Still ramrod straight and standing tall, he is indeeda proud American.

One hundred and fifty yearsago, in 1862, President Abra-ham Lincoln signed into lawan act of Congress establishingthe U.S. Department of Agri-culture. Two and a half yearslater, in what would be hisfinal annual message to Con-gress, Lincoln called the USDA“The People’s Department.”

President Lincoln knewthe importance of agricul-ture to our prosperity —particularly at a time when about halfof all Americans lived on the farm.While that number today stands atabout 2 percent, our values are stillrooted in rural America.

As the United States has changedand evolved over the years, at theUSDA we have not lost sight of Lin-coln’s vision. Through our work onfood, agriculture, economic develop-ment, science, natural resource conser-vation and a host of other issues, theUSDA has impacted the lives of gener-ations of Americans.

Over the past three years, we havefurthered that commitment to thisnation.

The USDA has supported producers

— making a record number offarm loans, maintaining astrong safety net, and expand-ing markets to drive recordexports.

We’ve stood by rural commu-nities — supporting more than6,000 community facilitiesprojects, providing more than

50,000 loans to help ruralbusinesses create jobs andinvesting in thousands of

infrastructure projects thathave delivered modern broadband,water and electric services to millions.

We’ve enrolled a record number ofacres in conservation programs, andlaid out a sensible new planning rulefor 193 million acres of national foreststo promote job growth while conserv-ing the environment.

The USDA has continued its historyof groundbreaking research. For exam-ple, we’ve invested about $320 millionto accelerate research on the next gen-eration of renewable energy — so wecan create jobs and ensure America’senergy security for years to come.

We’re also helping families lead healthylives. The USDA provides nutrition assis-tance for one in four Americans, enabling

them to put healthy meals on the table,even when times are tough, and we’reserving healthier school breakfast andlunch to 32 million students a day.

Today, the USDA truly remains a “Peo-ples’ Department” that touches the life ofevery American. Folksdepend on us. That’s whyI’m committed to leverag-ing the efforts of ourdepartment and morethan 100,000 hardwork-ing USDA employees tocontinue creating jobs,supporting rural commu-nities and helping ourcountry prosper.

As we commemorate150 years of accomplishments, theUSDA is looking forward to addressingthe changing needs of agriculture andrural America.

For our small towns and communi-ties looking to compete in a globalizingworld, we’ll be there with access tobroadband, critical infrastructure andsupport for new businesses.

The USDA will continue its supportfor the next generation of renewablefuels and help promote advanced, bio-based products.

We’ll keep working closely withAmerica’s agricultural producers tomaintain a dependable safety net fortheir work — which ultimately is con-nected to one in 12 American jobs —and ensure the food supply we need to

feed a growing worldpopulation.

I hope Americanswill join us in our com-memoration of 150years of the USDA.This is a great time tolearn about thisdepartment’s contribu-tions to the strength ofour nation, and to seehow we can continue topartner with Ameri-

cans working to provide a better lifefor their families.

I invite everyone to log on towww.usda.gov/usda150 to learn moreabout the USDA’s history and ourplans for the future — as the “Peoples’Department” continues serving allAmericans, every day and every way.

This commentary was submitted bythe U.S. Department of Agriculture onbehalf of USDA Secretary Tom Vil-sack. ❖

When I hopped on the agjournalism jet in 1981, theEuropean Union (knownthen as the European Eco-nomic Union) forecast itwould spend a fabuloussum — $5 billion or so —on its farm support pro-gram, the Common Agri-cultural Policy.

By comparison, the U.S.Department of Agricultureestimated total 1981 farmprogram costs here wouldbe about $2 billion. Theestimate was prettyaccurate; actual U.S. farmprogram expense totaled $1.9 billionin 1981.

The disparity between the two com-pelled the smart money to bet thatnot only would America’s farm pro-gram spending flatten out, and per-haps fall, as the good years of the1970s stretched into the 1980s, butthat European farm program spend-ing would, because of its massive out-lays and talked-about expansion, sim-ply implode.

Not one nation and certainly notone group of nations, forecasted anyag economist worth his slide rule andbowtie back then, could sustain theContinent’s wild-eyed ag spending.

The bowtie gang was, of course,

wrong — on both counts.Not only did the Euro-

peans continue their richag spending, they expandedit and their “common mar-ket” to other nations for 30more years. In 2008, CAPcosts topped 55 billionEuros, or $70 billion. (CAPwill cost about 53 billionEuros this year.)

At the same time, U.S.farm program spending did

everything but drop. Thego-go 1970s gave way togoing-going 1980s and

gone-gone 1990s. Ag pro-gram costs here grew to $16.7 billionin 1987 and, after hovering between$8 billion and $13 billion for a decadethereafter, soared to $24.4 billion in2004.

Today, after a re-jiggering of ag pol-icy in 2008 and two of the three mostprofitable years in the history ofAmerican agriculture, federal farmprogram spending still weighs in at ahefty $11 billion.

Those 30-year-old predictions — andtheir dismal results — come to mindas the smart money once again linesup to bet against Europe, its currency,the Euro, and its resolve to standtogether. According to conventionaleconomic thought, the European

Union and the Euro will sink in a coldsummer soup of debt, doubt and divi-sion.

And, like the 1981 view that Europecouldn’t continue its farm programspending, there is plenty of evidenceto suggest the conventioneers mightbe right. After all, national debt togross domestic product for troubledEU members like Greece is 165 per-cent. That means, at current rates, ifevery cent of the Greek economy wentto pay its debt, it would take one yearand nine months to cover it.

Other nations face similar woe.Italy’s debt to GDP is 120 percent,Portugal’s is 107 percent and evensolid, stolid Germany, the anchor forthe leaky EU ship, is 81 percent.

And yet, no one — not even theGreeks who are staggering through anEU-imposed austerity program — are

ready to cash in and move out of theEuro or the EU. In fact, a May 29-released survey shows 71 percent ofall Greeks, the highest of any nation-ality polled, want to stay with both thecurrency and the union.

Another sign of recovery, or at leastless chaos, comes from changes inpolitical leadership throughout muchof the region. Key EU members likeFrance, Italy and Greece have newleaders who were elected to balanceyesterday’s recession-inducing auster-ity programs with tomorrow’s growth-building public spending ideas. Bothare needed to reel in debt while nur-turing business activity.

Despite these changes, the EU andthe Euro still could go south. That like-lihood, predicts the conventional gang,involves global bond traders gangingup on the European Central Bank as itattempts to prop up, say, Greek debt orslow capital flight from Rome.

’Course they said the same thingabout European ag spending in 1981.Back then, we thought it was aboutmoney. To the Europeans it was aboutfreedom from war and want.

Still is, I’d bet.Alan Guebert’s “Farm and Food File”

As I contemplated writing another“Dairy Month” salute, I took a lookat what I said a year ago.

I talked about how Dairy Monthhas been a great promotional eventfor the U.S. dairy industry for manyyears because it “calls our cityslicker cousins back to their rootsand back to the land where theirfood comes from.” It also provides agreat promotional venue to retailersto spotlight and specially price milk,cheese and ice cream and let’s notforget the latest dairy “wonder of theworld,” Greek yogurt.

It is the dairy industry’s desire forconsumers to enjoy and appreciatedairy products in this special monthof recognition but consumers alsoneed to be aware and reminded of thehard work, dedication, and animaland land stewardship, plus the tougheconomic times dairy farmers endureto provide that gallon of milk or blockof cheese that grocery store shoppersnever worry there’ll be a shortage of.

Like so many things in life, it’s easyto take it all for granted but it doesn’tjust magically appear. I need somecheese for the pizza tonight or a gal-lon of ice cream for the birthday partythis afternoon so I simply run to thestore and get it because it’s alwaysthere, right? But, what if it wasn’t?

I occasionally receive commentsfrom non-farm readers about thethings I write about each week andhow interesting and yet complex thisindustry is. That’s encouragingbecause the people who really knowwhat’s behind that gallon of milk orthat chunk of cheese will appreciateit a little more and will complain alittle less when they may have to paya little more for it.

Milk is said to be one of nature’smost perfect foods and we areblessed to have it and an industrythat is so dedicated to providing it.Drink up Mr. and Ms. Consumer. It’sDairy Month.

MIELKE, from pg. 10Aprices and slightly lower corn prices,sending the May 2012 milk-feed priceratio to the lowest level in twodecades, according to the May AgPrices report.

The May 2012 milk-feed price ratio,at 1.38, is down from a revised 1.42 inApril and 1.73 in May 2011 and is the14th consecutive month it has beenbelow 2.0, reports Dairy Profit Weekly.

At $16.40/cwt., theU.S. average milk priceis the lowest since July2010. Average hay prices rose $8, to$215 per ton; soybean prices weresteady, at $13.70 per bushel; and cornprices dropped 12 cents, to $6.34/bu.The April Milk Income Loss Contractpayment to producers will be$1.2110/cwt.

On the bright side, the cash dairymarkets saw more strength the final

week of the month with40-pound block cheeseclosing Friday June 1 at

$1.65/lb., up 8 cents on the week, but40 cents below a year ago when theyjumped 24 cents, to $2.05. The 500-pound barrels closed at $1.5325, up6.25 cents on the week and 42.75 centsbelow a year ago. Two cars of block andfour of barrel traded hands on theweek. AMS-surveyed block cheese aver-aged $1.5210, across the United States,down 0.6 cent. The barrels averaged$1.4932, up a half-cent.

■

Cheese production nationallyremains heavy, according to the U.S.Department of Agriculture. Increasedmilk supplies have been moving tomanufacturing facilities with cheeseplants taking much of the increase.This has increased stocks in cold stor-age, but manufacturers are reported tobe comfortable with current invento-ries.

Export sales are being assisted by theCooperatives Working Together pro-gram. American cheese stocks areabove year-ago and last month’s levels.“Other” natural cheese stocks werebelow year-ago levels, but increasingfrom last month.

A recent earthquake in Italy isreported to have damaged over 300,000wheels of aged cheese worth hundredsof millions of dollars.

The CWT accepted 14 requests forexport assistance the last week of Mayto sell a total of 875,235 pounds ofcheese and 1.664 million pounds of but-ter to customers in Asia, North Africa,Central America and the Middle East.The product will be delivered throughNovember and raised 2012 CWTcheese exports to 54.7 million poundsplus 44.7 million pounds of butter andanhydrous milk fat to 27 countries.Totals of both were adjusted due tocancellations.

Cash butter saw a fourth week ofgain, closing Friday at $1.40, up 1.25cents on the week but 74.25 centsbelow a year ago. Six cars tradedhands. AMS butter averaged $1.3450,up a penny from the previous week.

Butter demand has been fair for thecurrent time of year, according to theUSDA’s Dairy Market News. Butterfeature activity has been light to mod-erate, but expected to increase as moreco-featuring is occurring with sweetcorn and the unofficial start of barbe-

MIELKE, from pg. 12Acue season during the Memorial Day holi-day weekend. Lower retail butter pricesare also helping sales, the USDA said.

Cream demand increased, surprisingmany ahead of the holiday weekend.Cream supplies are declining due to lessstandardized cream available as schoolmilk needs decline, lower milk output insome areas and declining milkfat levels inmilk. Butter production remains moder-ate to heavy at seasonal levels.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closedFriday at $1.1850, up 3 cents on the weekon 11 cars traded, while Extra Graderemained at $1.09. AMS powder averaged$1.1317, down 1.3 cents, and dry wheyaveraged 52.4 cents, down 1.8 cents.

The USDA reports that Northeastmilk production likely leveled off inearly May. Nevertheless, productionremained heavy and drying at someplants remained at full capacity. Milkproduction in the Southeast is declin-ing overall except in the mid-Atlantic.This has kept manufacturing capacityin the Southeast atabout 60 to 70 per-cent of capacity.

Milk intakes andcomponent levels aregradually recedingfrom seasonal highs inthe Central region.Various marketing rep-resentatives and coopera-tive managers indicate thecompetition for farm milkis increasing steadily insome areas of the Centralregion where cheese andbutter-powder plants are numerous.

■

California milk output is mostlysteady and remains at or near the sea-sonal peak. Weather has been warmduring the daytime but cooler at night.Arizona milk production is trendinglower on a week-to-week basis. Hottertemperatures are a main cause, alongwith time in milk and feeding changesmade because of high feed costs,according to the USDA.

Milk production in the Pacific North-west has slowed from the heavy levelsa few weeks ago but remains heavy.

The USDA’s preliminary 2011 milk costof production estimates are giving dairypolicy leaders and others new numbers todigest. Production costs across the 23major dairy states analyzed are in a widerange, reports Dairy Profit Weekly, withregional similarities often difficult to find.

The bottom line, theDPW says, is that;although the 23-stategross income rose an average of$3.94/cwt. in 2011 compared to 2010, thatwas more than offset by a $4.69/cwt.increase in total feed costs.

The average total feed costs for all ofthe states analyzed was $14.85/cwt. in2011, compared to $10.16 in 2010. Totalfeed costs ranged from a low of$10.64/cwt. in Idaho to highs of nearly$21 in Maine and Oregon (in part dueto a higher percentage of organic milkproduction). On average, purchasedfeed costs accounted for 75 percent ofthe total feed cost increase.

California averaged $17.73/cwt. intotal feed costs, about $4.40 more thanWisconsin. Perhaps more amazing, theDPW said, California’s purchased feedcosts jumped $6.71/cwt. in 2011, fromjust $7.04 in 2010 to $13.75/cwt. in2011. Wisconsin’s purchased feed costsrose $2.08/cwt., pushing total feed costsup $2.28/cwt.

When compared to gross value of pro-duction (including the milk price, cattle

sales and other income)on a per-hundred-weight basis, average2011 return over oper-ating costs ranged froma high of $10.05/cwt. inFlorida and $7.63 inIdaho, to losses of$1.47/cwt. in Maine, 26cents in Kentucky andTennessee, and 3 centsin California. The all-state average returnafter operating costswas $4/cwt. in 2011,

compared to $4.96 in 2010.When allocated overhead costs are

added, the DPW said producers in onlytwo states were in the black in 2011:Idaho, at $4.12/cwt., and Florida, at$1.58. Losses were highest in Ken-tucky, Tennessee and Maine. The all-state average was minus $3.73/cwt. for2011, compared to minus $2.75 in2010, according to the DPW.

Dialing in the radio, DPW editorDave Natzke kicked off Dairy Monthtalking about how farmers, organiza-tions and communities are gearing upto host local and regional dairy celebra-tions, but added, “they can’t be blamedif at least part of their attention isdiverted toward policymakers and thedairy economy.”

The 2012 farm bill and federal dairypolicy reforms are one of the issues as

well as milk prices andfluid milk sales, Natzke

said.This week, California wrapped up a

public hearing to consider petitions tochange pricing formulas for milk used tomanufacture cheese in the state, Natzkesaid. Producer organizations filed peti-tions requesting changes in how dry wheyis valued in the formula, saying disparitybetween federal and California’s statemilk marketing order formulas created a

wide gap in the prices received for milkused to make cheese.

California’s Department of Food &Agriculture now has about 60 days toannounce any changes to the milkpricing formula, Natzke said.

Grain prices are effective cash close on June 5. The price index chart compares an average of most recently reported local cash prices with the same average for a year ago.*Cash grain price change represents a two-week period.

Grain AnglesIn the cycle of

greed, hope, fear For the next six weeks the grain markets will be

focused on the three-times-a-day, updated six- to 10-day weather forecasts. Or will they? It seems like thenoncommercial, fund investors are trading in theopposite way than the fundamentals suggest theyshould.

Over the last couple of weeks, Ihave started hearing more grum-bling about the weaknesses of theU.S. Department of Agriculturecrop reporting system. People arestarting to wonder about conspir-acies with the manner in whichChina trades in the cash marketsand how the fund managers don’tuse fundamental analysis; thatthe new trading hours are gearedto aid in their manipulation ofthe market prices.

This tells me that we have somegrain producers who are on the “wrong side of themarket” and they are starting to “talk their position.”Could this be at the mid-point of the “Greed, Hope,Fear Cycle” that haunts our human marketing psy-che?

Those who are finding that they are on the “wrongside of the market” clearly are operating under thetrading paradigm of trying to guess where the mar-kets will go and predict the future. This is a danger-ous approach to making marketing decisions. This issimply because no one can predict the future withconsistent accuracy. The markets are not logical; theyare subject to the human emotions of greed, hope andfear. Humans are innately social animals who areinfluenced by others in the herd. This does not lead tological or rational processing of market intelligence.

Grain OutlookRain keeps bulls at bay

The market analysis is for the week ending June 1.CORN — Corn extended the downtrend this week

by closing lower four consecutive days of the Memo-rial Day shortened week. July corn declined 27 centsto $5.51 1/2 and the December contract lost 11 1/2cents to close at $5.10 perbushel.

An absence of any fresh exportinterest, a firming dollar, disap-pointing economic reports andenough rain to keep the bulls atbay were adequate to outweighnon-existent farmer sales.

Cash basis levels had beenflat on the domestic side whileexport basis has been falling forthe last 10 days. As Junearrived, both the export andprocessor markets exhibited lifeas pipelines are not beingreplenished. Early wheat harvest in the Plainsshowing decent yield and good quality possibly maypush wheat out of feed channels and back to thewheat balance sheet. This could increase demandfor corn as we head into mid-summer.

While most of the Midwest received rainfall thelast week of May, it was not enough to mitigate thegeneral dryness, particularly in southern Illinoisand Indiana. However with most areas receivingsome measure of moisture, the market has notreacted to a drought threat at this time. The highheat of late May has subsided, putting that threaton the back burner for now.

However, the current growing conditions havebegun to cast some doubt on the record 166-bushel-

Livestock AnglesWill June be good

for prices?It appears the beginning of June is starting out as

possibly a positive month for livestock prices. Boththe cattle and hog markets have experienced a firm-ing cash and futures markets.

The cattle market, which has seen prices drop onwhat appears to be decliningdemand, has seen the packerscontinue to remain fairly aggres-sive in their bidding for liveinventory. This despite the factthat show lists have increased inrecent weeks, suggesting thatthere is plenty of inventory tomeet the current slaughterneeds.

The beef cutout has moved backinto the upper-$190 per hundred-weight area, and with that thevolume in the boxed sales havedecreased once again. This con-tinues to point to the fact that there is still consumerresistance to the higher beef prices.

A major factor in the futures market is the differ-ent commodity funds that have dominated to somedegree the prices paid in the cash market. If thesefunds decide to take a position in the futures marketon either side, that could have a bearing on the direc-tion of the cash trade in the weeks ahead.

Over the short run a further rally in prices is antic-ipated, however the overall trend in the cattle mar-ket is, at present, down. Therefore, the producersshould be aware that if the current rally begins tofalter, a return to lower prices could be in the offing.This would signal a return to protection of invento-ries.

NYSTROM, from pg. 14Aper-acre yield that the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture is forecasting, atleast this early. Michael Cordonnier lowered his cornyield estimate from 165 to 164 bu./acre while Plana-lytics pegged this year’s corn yield at 157.8 bu./acrein a report released this week.

Weekly export sales were discouraging at only 7.4million bushels of old crop and 3.7 million bushels ofnew crop. The market tried to rally on rumors of Chi-nese and Mexican interest, but since the sales areunconfirmed, the gains were fleeting. Total exportcommitments are down 12 percent from last yearwhen the USDA is only forecasting a 7 1/2 percentdecline, so don’t be surprised with a smaller exportline on the June crop report.

Crop conditions fell as of May 28 from 77 percentto 72 percent good/excellent. This was a larger dropthan anticipated, but after post-Memorial Day rainsconditions are expected to regain a few points.

OUTLOOK: Rumors of Chinese interest in U.S.corn pushed prices into a big range as the weekended, but nothing was confirmed going home for theweek. Weak global economics are expected to over-shadow major rally attempts.

Now the caveat: after the free-fall in corn over thelast few weeks, with even a little encouragementfrom the weatherman, will money once again eye

corn as a “buy”? First support for Julycorn is $5.50, resistance near $5.78

per bushel. For the December con-tract, the range is $5 to $5.50 per bushel. Fastenyour seatbelts, boys; it looks like we’re in for abumpy ride.

SOYBEANS — A choppier week in soy-beans than corn this week, as soybeanswere sharply lower for the week asfunds liquidated length on a lack ofnew sales. On the continuous soy-bean chart, beans retraced nearlyhalf the December-to-May rally.

Weak economic data pushedgrains lower as the week drew toa close with non-farm payrollsonly gaining 69,000 when 150,000had been expected. The May U.S.unemployment rate climbed 0.1percent to 8.2 percent. China’s Pur-chasing Managers Index fell from 53.3in April to 50.4 in May, a signal of a slow-ing economy.

Looking ahead in South America, it’s reported thatBrazilian farmers have already sold a record 27 per-cent of next year’s crop, in addition to having alreadypurchased large amounts of seed and fertilizer. Someanalysts are predicting that soybean acreage couldbe up as much as 2 million hectares next year in

Brazil.Weekly export sales for soybeans were less than

expected at 8.8 million old crop and 6.5 million newcrop bushels. Soybean emergence as of May 28 was61 percent versus only 30 percent on average.

OUTLOOK: July soybeans settled for theweek at $13.44 1/4, down 37 3/4 cents for

the week; November beans collapsed44 1/4 cents to close out the week at

$12.45 per bushel. With the nearly50 percent retracement of theDecember-May rally, soybeansmay be poised for a rally,depending on weather andexport demand. As in corn, we’lllook for high volatility to stay inthe markets. Any missed rain

forecasts could propel up sharplyhigher.July beans ranged during the

short Memorial Day week from $13.171/2 to $14.02 and the November range

was $12.45 to $13.07 3/4 per bushel. Bottomline, we need to see outside markets regain someconfidence in tandem with fundamental reasons torebound back to the higher end of the ranges, butshort term I would expect choppy, higher move-ment.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the weekending June 1 — Minneapolis wheat dove 40 3/4cents this week, Chicago plummeted 67 3/4 centsand Kansas City dropped 63 cents. July crude oilcrashed $7.63 to $83.23, heating oil fell 20 1/2 cents,gasoline was down 17 1/2 cents and natural gas lost30 cents. The U.S. dollar index was up 0.40 points,the stock market was 326 points lower as it fell intonegative territory for calendar 2012, and June goldjumped $57.10 to $1,626 per ounce. ❖

MARKETING

TEALE, from pg. 14AThe hog market appears to have finally turned the

corner and is on the road to a continued rally. Itstarted with a turn in the pork cutouts and has car-ried over into a firmer cash market. The fact thatpork cutouts were less than half the price of the beefcutouts prompted retailers to take advantage of thisdiscrepancy and feature more pork. This despite thefact that there is plenty of pork in storage.

The movement of pork product has been on theincrease and should begin to draw down these

excesses in storage over the next few months. Toassist in this current recovery in prices are the sea-sonal trends, which normally peak in late spring andearly summer. The caveat to this whole scenario isthe fact that the hog market is still in a long-termdowntrend and a rally could meet strong resistanceat higher prices.

On the other hand, since this recent low is laterthan normal, the rally in hog prices may extend fur-ther than normal. Since there are premiums in thefutures, producers should still consider protection ofinventories if premiums exceed normal carry. ❖

Hogs may have finally turned corner

NEHER, from pg. 14AIf there ever was a time for becoming a “student of

our business,” it is today. Becoming a student of ourbusiness entails studying and using the best produc-tion practices on a timely basis. It involves knowingour cost of production and finding ways to lowerthem without compromising production. It involvestaking that cost of production and coupling it withmarket intelligence to discover sound marketingstrategies and opportunities. It involves generatingand maintaining the highest standards of account-ing and record keeping.

In the competitive, volatile environment that wefind ourselves in today, the use of the best accountingand record keeping practices is a Grain Angle thatwill separate the winners from the losers. I knowthat this statement sounds harsh, but it’s what will

give one the edge when it comes to growing andmaintaining the financial health of your business.Those with the best records and reports will have theedge when it comes to acquiring new land to farm.This edge will also be found when it comes to secur-ing financial support from lenders, investors or part-ners.

Given all of the volatility and uncertainty that weexperience in our lives and businesses today, wemust remember that we cannot control everything.We in farm country know this all too well. Yet we dohave control over many of our managerial practicesand this will be an angle that can lead to success.

During the next six weeks anything could happenthat could impact the yield of our crops. As myGrandpa used to remind me: “Tommy, it’s not a cropuntil it’s in the bin.” ❖

Called an SS8 and mounted on aCase skid loader with a 10-foot reach,the Easy Rake used by Wright County,Minn., dairy farmer Andy Thorsonquickly and cleanly scrapes haylageout of the nine-foot diameter plasticbags used on Diers Corp. Farm.

With this rig, he rakes down 5,500pounds of haylage in only two min-utes. The beauty of this system is aperfectly clean face so there’s no drydown, no spoilage and no waste priorto the next feeding 24 hours later.

Thorson, 37, the crops and weekendfeeding guy at the 200-cow operationwhich has been using haylage bags(mostly 250-feet long and 9-feet diam-eter) for several years, said, “it was astruggle every day with just a bucketon my skid loader to get the feed outclean. Haylage out of a bag is difficultbecause of how tightly it compresses.However with this Easy Rake this

chore is a piece of cake.”Originator of the Easy Rake system

is Riverview LLP, a dairy operation inthe Morris, Minn., area. Hanson Silo ofLake Lillian, Minn., purchased themanufacturing and marketing rightsof the system and now markets eightdifferent sized rakes throughout thelivestock industry in the United Statesand Canada.

Thorson had seen the units at farmshows and also at a neighboring dairyfarm in a bunker storage system. Healso checked out working demos at theEasy Rake website. He reasoned thisrake would work well cutting silageout of a silage bag and keep a nice faceon the remaining silage. It definitelylooked like a time saver also.

He talked it over with his wife,Colette, and father-in-law, Gary Diers.However neither was real excitedabout the $4,000 price. However, lastfall they harvested some of their cornsilage and stored it in a “drive-over”covered silage pile.

“But when we started feeding out ofthat pile last December, I couldn’tbelieve how hard it was to keep a niceface on the pile with just a bucket. I

The exceptionally dry and generallyeasy harvest last fall certainly slowedthe expansion of “white plastic flatstorage,” especially when 99 percent ofthe corn crop was field dried and readyfor the bin without any artificial heat.

Get into flat storage for 6 cents abushel, and white plastic continuesto be the most cost-effective answer for growers stillneeding a facility for handling extra grain even if“bin-dry” at harvest. For cattle feeders, silage bagsare especially quick and convenient when bunkersneed some extra temporary capacity.

“Demand for storage dropped off last fall because of thevery favorable weather, but since we first got into flatstorage a few years back it’s been a good run,” said MarcVan Buren, with Lange Ag Systems of Willmar, Minn.

He said usage of these flat storage bags for thingsother than high-moisture corn or silage keeps hap-pening. “Just last week we had a customer in westernMinnesota who bagged some urea. So temporary stor-age for other products is continuing to surprise us.”

The grain bags filled with the Loftness grain baggerare available in 10-foot and 12-foot diameter sizes. A300-foot-long bag, 10-foot diameter, gives you 14,000-to 15,000-bushel storage. The 12-foot machine usedon a 500-foot bag provides up to 33,000 bushels oftemporary storage.

“If you own the Loftness machine, your plastic costsfor a 500-foot bag are about 6 cents a bushel. Or youcan rent a machine and that about doubles your stor-age costs,” Van Buren said. He said they have cus-tomers who own several machines and have built ahealthy business doing both silage and grain filling.But individual producers are now often buying theirown machines.

Van Buren said that farmers still speak confidentlyabout 2012 being another good year, especially ifspring rains regenerate soil moisture. Lange Ag Sys-tems gets a good read on both grain and livestockfarmers since the firm markets across Minnesota, intoNorth Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Iowa.

If there’s a sudden demand for flat storage this fall, itshouldn’t be a problem for Lange, since they usuallyinventory 300 to 500 grain bags at their Willmar facil-ity. The factory supplier of the bags — Up North Plas-tics — is only a couple hours away, at Cottage Grove,Minn. The AG-BAG machine for silage is manufacturedat Saint Nazianz, Wisc. The Loftness Grain Bagger andGrain Unloader machines are made at Hector, Minn.

Van Buren speaks highly of the engineering andconstruction quality of these two brands of machinesfor filling flat storage. “There are a lot of these unitsstill out there since the early 1990s. So with routinemaintenance, these are long-lasting pieces of equip-ment,” he said.

Van Buren was interviewed at the Willmar, Minn.,farm show this spring. For more information, log on tolangeagsystems.com. ❖

COVER STORY, from pg. 16Awas also surprised at how tightlycompacted the silage was in thatdrive-over pile.”

Thorson is also involved with a customharvesting operation (Otto Farms Chop-ping Inc.) doing haylage, corn silage andearlage across central Minnesota. “Wepride ourselves on the packing job we dofor our customers.” A Claas self-pro-pelled harvester with Kenworth trucksand Meyers forage boxes with both sideand rear unloaders lets them unloaddirectly into plastic bags.

He also recognizes the cost of dam-aged silage. When corn was $2 andsilage maybe only $20 a ton, he wasn’tso concerned about some waste. Not

so today.“Unless you leave a clean face on

that haylage bag, you’re losing somefeed value, particularly in warmerweather with a haylage face left jaggedand a lumpy mess each day after feed-ing,” Thorson said.

“I was spending like half an hour

each day with my skid loader andbucket trying to properly face thesilage pile. We were feeding about14,000 pounds from that pile each day.So it was a winter feeding from thatpile that convinced me the rake systemwas better than pealing down with thebucket each day.

“But I really wanted to see how therake would work on the haylage bags.We use bags for most of our haylage soI needed some assurance that the EasyRake would do the job. I hauled a loadof hay to a farmer near Lake Lillian(Minn.) so I was only a few miles fromthe Hanson Silo plant. Mike Hansonsaid haul it home and see how it worksfor you.”

He was immediately impressed. “Icouldn’t believe how quick and clean itpulled the haylage out and left such aclean face. The same on our corn silagepile. Just two to three minutes to pulldown 14,000 pounds of corn silage,”said Thorson, who couldn’t come upwith a single disadvantage of his unit.“You never get out of the cab. There

aren’t any hydraulic hoses to hook up.You’re hitched up and raking forage in30 seconds. There’s just no mainte-nance. It’s what I call ‘stupid/simple’.

“I know there are a lot of dairy farm-ers who are always doing some fixingon their hydraulic facers. But this unitlooks to me to be pretty much inde-structible.”

Brother-in-law Scott Diers does theweekday feeding; bunk feeding with aTMR wagon. The daily ration includescorn silage, high-moisture ear cornsilage, dry supplements, haylage, evenwheat straw when it fits the ration. Hemakes up three batches totaling24,000 pounds of feed per day. Cowsare group fed, one of three differentrations based on age and production.

Diers Farm runs about 800 cropacres, slightly over 1,000 acres includ-ing the hay ground. Corn and alfalfaare the primary crops but also somesoybeans to spread out the harvestseason. All the manure from this dairyfarm gets used for corn ground.

The Thorsons have three daughters:Mikayla, 9, Malorie, 7, and Victoria, 4.

Despite vacillating milk prices, Thor-son thinks dairy farms producing mostof their own feed, have a good future inMinnesota.

“It’s a challenging business. Inputcosts keep rising. To be successful, youneed to micromanage. I think that evenboils down to how clean a face youleave on your silage piles each day.” ❖

Unless you leave a clean face on that haylage bag,you’re losing some feed value, particularly in warmerweather with a haylage face left jagged and a lumpymess each day after feeding.

— Andy Thorson


With a pedigree that includesU.S. Department of Agriculturefarm bill legislation under sevenU.S. presidential administra-tions, Chuck Conner, presidentand CEO of the National Coun-cil of Farmer Cooperatives,brings some Washington-insiderpolicy thinking to any negotiating table.With more than 25 years of experiencein national and state government andagricultural trade associations work,Conner generates respect and regard.

Q: Minnesota is regarded as the‘Co-op Capital’ of American agri-culture. When did the NationalCouncil of Farmer Cooperativesstart, and why?

Conner: Formed in 1929, primarilyto bring more voice and more strengthfor U.S. agriculture at both state andnational levels; and increasingly atinternational trade and marketingevents also. The early inertia of the co-op movement was the recognition thatan organized cooperative voice could dofor farmers what individual farmerscould not do. This business structure isas relevant today as it was back in the1920s. Today there are 206 farmer co-

ops just in Minnesota with2010 gross sales of nearly $18billion. The two largest cooper-ative in America are Minnesotacooperatives — CHS and LandO’Lakes. But other nationalleaders based in Minnesota areAssociated Milk Producers,AgriBank, AgStar, AmericanCrystal Sugar and Southern

Minnesota Beet Sugar Cooperative.Q: Some say there are too many

co-ops and they compete unfairlyagainst private business. Your take?

Conner: The numbers just don’t backup that argument. The growth of co-opsis inevitable. They’ve had to grow andchange just like the thousands of farm-ers who are, in fact, the ownership of allcooperatives. If you look at the ‘peers’ offarmer-owned co-ops, in essence the pri-vately owned ag business that co-opscompete against, their growth in recentyears greatly exceeds the growth of co-ops. I would argue that even with thegrowth of U.S.-based agricultural coop-eratives we’re a step behind the privateindustry world of agriculture.

Q: American agriculture is cur-rently enjoying ‘golden years’ offinancial growth. Are there anyleaks emerging in this bubble?

Conner: American agriculture isdoing well; remarkably well. But evenour recent history reveals tougher timesin agriculture. My father — an Indianaproducer — farmed 50 years and oftenstruggled during certain years just toprovide for the family.Agriculture strug-gled just to exist during the 1980s.Many farmers didn’t survive. So it’srefreshing to see this much healthiereconomy for U.S. farmers today. Willsome individual farmers still be battlingto exist? Yes, that’s the very nature ofthis industry which has become so capi-tal intensive. We do know there will bedown periods at some point.

Q: In view of this competition,how can younger people findopportunity in agriculture?

Conner: When I graduated fromPurdue University in 1980 people weresaying it was impossible to go out andstake your future in production agri-culture. And that reality did, in fact,force me to seek other work to providefor me and my family. My father andmy older brother were running ourfarm. I perhaps was ‘one child toomany’ to also fit into our farming pro-

gram. But agriculture has alwaysbeen challenging. Today is no differ-ent than 30 years ago. Sure, having afamily connection already in farmingmakes it more doable. Our FarmCredit System, which is also a farmer-owned cooperative, is a tremendousprovider for both first-time beginningfarmers and established farmers.

Q: Isn’t agribusiness today amuch bigger employer than pro-duction ag?

Conner: Very definitely. OurNational Council of Farm Coopera-tives is now an organization of morethan 3,000 U.S. farmer-owned busi-nesses. Plus private industry in U.S.agriculture continues to seek new tal-ent as the industry expands. Thedemand for young, energetic gradu-ates to work in agribusiness is very,very strong. At a time when most col-lege graduates are finding it difficultto get jobs, not so for the young gradu-ates studying any of the many differ-ent vocational choices in agriculture.

CONNER, from pg. 19Aprojected to be 9 billion. Can agri-culture find the means to feed 2billion more people over the next40 years?

Conner: I describe this as the nextgeneration’s greatest challenge. It willinvolve careful planning on the partof U.S. food and agricultural policypeople, plus world agricultural policy.It presents almost unlimited opportu-nities to U.S. farmers and U.S. farm

cooperatives. The rapidly emergingmiddle class of people around theworld is anxious to improve their diets.They’re demanding more protein, andmore variety in their daily food. Somepredict as much as a 70-percentincrease in total food production willbe needed by 2050.

Q: You are a world traveler. Isthe agricultural cooperativemovement strong elsewhere?

Conner: Farmer-owned co-ops have

a strong presence throughout Europe,Canada, even in the developing world.They serve the same fundamental pur-pose of providing group action whenindividual efforts just wouldn’t work.It may, for example, be just a small cof-fee bean operation in an underdevel-oped country in Africa. But by bandingtogether they, too, generate bettermarketing opportunities.

Q: Are we making the right kind ofprogress on the new 2012 farm bill?

Conner: I’ve been involved in sevenfarm bills dating back to the days ofPresident Jimmy Carter, when Sen.Herman Tallmadge was chairman of theSenate ag committee for the 1981 farmbill. Tallmadge already was an institu-tion in agricultural circles. So when theSenator spoke, we listened. It’s morechallenging today. But compared withother issues, agriculture clearly is morebipartisan and historically that hasbeen the nature of farm bill legislation.The division comes more at regionallines than party lines. In essence, strongdifferences between southern agricul-tural interests and Middle America stillpersist. For example, the Senate ag com-mittee farm bill proposal has receivedvery high praise from corn and soybeaninterests but sharp criticism from rice,peanut and cotton growers. The South-ern farmers still favor direct paymentprovisions in the farm bill. But that’snot likely to work in the next farm bill.Our corn and soybean producers arewilling to give up direct payments ifthere is a stronger risk managementprogram. Ultimately farm bills onlypass when broadly supported by all sec-tors of agriculture. Will we have a newfarm bill before the November election?I don’t know.

Q: But you do sense that farm

legislation is on the right track forall groups?

Conner: I think the one track thatunites is that we’re all pleased that theprocess has started. It’s been my experi-ence with seven farm bills that thetoughest part is simply getting them outof the ag committee; getting them out ofthe chute so to speak. At this point thenew proposed bill is only out of the Sen-ate ag committee on a 12 to 5 vote; theHouse committee apparently wantsmore time to listen to more issues.

Q: Speaking of the House, anyparticular advice for MinnesotaRep. Collin Peterson?

Conner: Collin is a friend of mine,and a friend of cooperatives. He getsreelected because he looks after hisfarm constituency very well. He under-stands what agriculture needs to con-tinue sustainably. And he knows fullwell that you need to reach acrosspolitical points of view, particularly inthe U.S. House of Representatives,which basically has few agriculturalvotes and often little real understand-ing of American agriculture. You’re notgoing to pass a farm bill through theHouse just with the farm delegation.That segment will get you less thanone-quarter of votes needed. Todaymost of U.S. food production comesfrom only about 200,000 producers. Invoting terms when you are relating to300 million people, that’s a small slice.

Q: Is agriculture being treated‘fairly’ on the issue of renewableenergy?

Conner: First recognize that theNational Council of Farmers Coopera-tives has been deep in the develop-ment of the renewable fuels industry

CONNER, from pg. 20Ain America virtually since Day One. Many — in fact,most — of the original ethanol plants started as farmer-owned cooperatives. So, too, the original biodiesel facili-ties were cooperative businesses. But we’re also cog-nizant of our livestock production industry and feed costissues. We understand both sides of the argument. Thecase that the ethanol industry needs to make to theAmerican public is the fact that the pump price for vir-tually all Americans is lower because of the inputs ofethanol fuels. Some say that thanks to ethanol, pumpprices are about 50 cents a gallon cheaper. It’s a note-worthy difference that simply is not understood by mostfolks pulling into a station for a fill-up.

Q: How does your council assist ‘start-up’groups wanting to produce and market as acooperative?

Conner: This is an important part of our total mis-sion. Because the co-op is a unique business struc-ture it requires unique tax and accounting systems.We have a legal tax and accounting group within ourstructure that assists both existing co-ops and newco-ops as well. Specialists within the council meetwith producers and marketers across the country.Information is also available electronically via ourwebsite at www.ncfc.org.

Q: Do we have too many co-ops?Conner: It can’t happen!Q: Because of better genetics, more innova-

tions and even more smart farmers, will Amer-ican agriculture continue to improve produc-tion per acre?

Conner: I see enormous growth potential in total pro-ductivity of American agriculture going forward. Thisglobal world has to face the reality of tremendouslymuch more production with few new acres to bring intofood production. I believe we will meet that challenge

simply because we’ve got to meet that challenge. Andthere’s no better way to do that than through Americanfarmers and the co-ops they represent.

Q: What is agriculture’s biggest challenge ahead?Conner: We’re all about public policy perspective

as it relates to challenges in the marketplace. Thebiggest challenge day-in and day-out is the regula-tory environment, be that from EPA, FDA, OSHA,

Department of Labor and, in some cases, even fromour own Department of Agriculture. As more andmore regulations get implemented it simply adds toour cost of doing business. In the case of EPA, thereseems to be a de-link between the cost of imple-menting particular regulations and the good to thepublic derived from those regulations. The common

Regulatory environment ag’s biggest challenge today

CONNER, from pg. 21Asense question is what is the public getting out ofthis proposal. And way too often it seems the answeris ‘not much.’ The pesticide registration issue, whichmay soon require a farmer to get a pesticide regis-tration every time he goes to the field with a partic-ular product, is simply nonsense. The Department ofLabor and their effort to take kids away from farmwork is another example of ineptitude. Thankfully,common sense did prevail on that issue.

Also, we face a very competitive world market today.Much of that competition comes from co-ops outsidethe United States. We need a business-friendly envi-ronment that recognizes the importance of globaltrade, and also the strong pricing support that manyEuropean farmers enjoy through their governments.

Q: Without exports U.S. agriculture would befinancially insolvent. What does your councildo to enhance U.S. agricultural exports?

Conner: You’re right, without exports U.S. agri-culture would be in a world of hurt. This year we’reestimating over $130 billion of U.S. food and agri-culture exports. Nearly 50 percent of U.S. soybeanproduction gets exported; about 15 percent of U.S.

dairy production; upwards of over 20 percent of U.S.pork, and it looks like a record potential for U.S. cornexports, too. The next farm bill has to address thetrade challenges, however, faced by U.S. farmers inworld markets. Sanitary and phyto-sanitary tradebarriers are an issue. Market development funds arecrucial. The Market Access Program enables us tomatch our competitors overseas. Let me bullet pointhow MAP levels the playing field for U.S. farmersand ranchers in world trade.

• Our competitors in the world market — includ-ing the European Union, Australia, Argentina,China, Russia and others — outspend the UnitedStates by several magnitudes when it comes to mar-ket development.

• According to the World Trade Organization, the EUalone spends over $1 billion in promoting their agricul-tural products abroad and in member states. This ismore than four times what the United States spends.

• Government-backed industry associations inother countries are now actively promoting non-U.S.agricultural products across the Chinese market.

• MAP connects tens of thousands of farmers,ranchers and growers to the international market-

place, something nearly impossible for an individualproducer to do.

• Every billion dollars in U.S. ag exports creates8,400 American jobs. MAP and foreign market devel-opment programs have boosted farm income byabout $1.5 billion per year.

Q: Does U.S. agriculture need a farm bill?Conner: Yes, we need a farm bill. We can all be

champions of a free-market agriculture, but that’snot a reality in today’s world market scenarios. Thefirst farm bill I worked on was five titles; today’s farmbill is 16 titles, so the mere complexities of world agri-culture sort of demands agricultural legislation withits own checks and balances. The fundamental princi-pal of a farm bill is to provide a safety net for the pro-ducer. That need is as strong today was it was in1981. There are a lot of opportunities in agriculturetoday, but also tremendous variabilities. When youdepend upon the Chinese, for example, for your mar-ket, what happens when there is a disruption? Thatsafety net shouldn’t dictate production, it shouldn’tdrive the farmers’ planning decisions, but it shouldbe there to provide some cushion when there is a tem-porary drop in the agricultural economy.

Q: If you were writing the next farm bill,what would you include?

Conner: Give production agriculture theresources necessary to sustain food production. Thecost of farm programs has come down precipitouslysince 1981. I’m not aware of any federal programswith a declining rate of spending. Don’t treat agricul-ture like it is part of our deficit problem.

Don’t forget about the market export program.Exports today are so very critical to American agri-culture and very definitely to the increasing role offeeding more of the world’s population. And last, helpus out on some of this regulatory stuff. Let’s putsome sort of ‘common sense’ test into play beforerules are made. Give us these three issues and farm-ers and the co-ops they own will be able to meet thechallenges this world is going to present. ❖

It was one of those daysthat is so typical on thefarm. I had somewhere tobe, and since all of our guyswere out running field culti-vators, anhydrous tanks andoat seeders, it was my job tocheck the sheep and cowsbefore I left to see if therewere any impending babies.

I had decided earlier thatas long as I didn’t have tocheck myself for impendingbabies before I left, that Iwas still ahead of the game.

You know you’re a farm wife whenyou don’t think anything of runningaround behind farm animals to look attheir behinds to see if anything ishanging out of there. While in the pastI have felt a little like a well-meaningpervert as I’ve checked pregnant farmanimals, I’m amazed at how “high-brow” societal norms are for humansunder the same circumstances. There

are only a select group ofwomen I know who wouldbe OK with people comingaround to see if some part ofthem is hanging out behind

them.Not expecting anything much out in

the yards since there had been quite alull in the action for a couple of weeks,I slipped on my “you-know-what”-kick-ers and headed toward the sheep barn.Nothing going on there, so it was out tothe lady bovines, who were lookingquite pristine as they stood aroundchewing their cud, looking at me andwaiting to be moms.

A glance from the 50-yard-line didn’tshow any new calves anywhere, but aview from a more up-close and per-

sonal angle told a different story.I got around behind this particular

cow, and of course — since there hadbeen no calves born for a couple ofweeks, and now I needed to be some-where in 40 minutes — I saw a calfhoof out in plain view. It was a classiccase of “Murphy’s Law of the Farm” ifI ever saw one — nothing happensuntil you’re ready to go somewhere.

TABLE TALK, from pg. 23ASo — I dialed up “1-800-Husband” to see if there

were any specific instructions. I’ve seen many pigsand sheep be born, but never a calf — even at my age.

One of our sons came home and took over the mid-wife role. I was officially relieved of that duty. Had Ibeen the one to do this myself, my relief would prob-ably have taken a much different form … especiallythinking about possible complications as the processwent on.

We got the cow into the barn and let her settledown, while our son and I chatted quietly in the nextroom, peering through an opening between the gateand the wall so we could watch her.

Our son was tallying up the number of calves theyhad with this one, and was doing the financial math,dreaming of what could someday be for he and hisbrother. It’s fun when your children tell you theirdreams.

The cow was only about half settled about 20 to 30minutes into it when our son said he had a lot ofother things to get done that day, and decided he was“going in.” It was pretty official — he grabbed theO.B. sleeves and some twine string. I would have

grabbed the safety goggles, hip waders, rubber glovesand saran wrap, and covered my entire body.

You never know.We then penned her up in a smaller area so we

could get her into the chute. She was like a super-sized bagel trying to fit into a bread-sized toaster slot.

“Oh, poor mama,” I thought. I began to feel compas-sion toward this beast. She and I could have some-thing in common — there have been plenty of timeswhen I didn’t fit in, too.

Going with what we could do, our son grabbed thetwo suggestions of feet and legs that were stickingout by then, and pulled with all his might, as the cowjust stood there acting like it was all in a day’s work.After a concerted effort at pulling that calf into thelight of day, she arrived. A nice, big, healthy heifercalf. And what a welcome into the world — a ploponto the hay-covered ground from about chestheight. And the cow remained standing up the wholetime to have her baby, barely flinching as it was alltaking place behind her.

Big show off.It’s always amazing to see the instincts of baby ani-

mals kick in — holding their heads up right away,standing within 20 to 30 minutes, knowing where tolook to get something to eat. It was all pretty mes-merizing until the cow discovered all that “otherstuff” on the ground that is part of the birthingprocess, and started snacking, as farm animals do.

Somehow, my high school Home Economics classdidn’t prepare me for that.

While ligament tears cancause serious setbacks in anathlete’s career, a similarinjury can mean surgeryand rehabilitation for yourfrisky kitty or romping Rover.

According to Sharon Ker-win, professor at the TexasA&M College of VeterinaryMedicine & BiomedicalSciences, anterior cruciateligament tears or cranialcruciate ligament injuries,as they are referred to inanimals, occur almost asoften as they do in humans.

“Cats and dogs have the same ligamentsthat we have in our knees,” Kerwin said.“The cruciate ligament stabilizes yourfemur and your tibia so you don’t get toomuch motion between those two bones.”

CCL tears in cats often occur the sameway ACL tears occur in humans. Often,there is some traumatic injury thatoccurs as a result of jumping from high

places, playing or getting the ani-mal’s leg caught in something.

“It takes a fair bit of forceto rupture a cruciate liga-ment, and it tends to occurmore often in overweight cats,”Kerwin said.However, in dogs, this injury is

often the result of a chronicdegeneration of the ligamentand occurs much more fre-

quently than it does in cats.“In dogs, we think the injury

may be related to weight andbody structure, meaning that some largebreeds such as Rottweilers, Labradorsand Chow Chows, may be predisposed toCCL injuries,” Kerwin said. “In somecases, we think it’s either the shape oftheir tibia or the shape of their femurthat predisposes them to this injury.”

A ruptured ligament is usually char-acterized by limping or inactivity. Incats, they will not want to play the way

they used to, and dogs will oftenappear lame and sit awkwardly withtheir leg sticking out, signaling a possi-ble knee problem.

Kerwin said if your pet shows signsof an injured leg, schedule an appoint-ment with your veterinarian who willconduct a lameness exam in order todiagnose the problem.

The injury is often treated in catswith medical management by placingoverweight cats on a strict diet withexercise restriction for three to sixweeks, followed by a check-up measur-ing progress. If the injury fails to heal,surgery is often recommended toexplore and stabilize the joint.

When dogs are afflicted with CCLinjuries, many times the best option issurgery as quickly as possible.

“Dogs often don’t do well with med-ical management, the injury will oftenworsen over time as the arthritis in theknee builds,” Kerwin said.

Dogs often require eight to 12 weeksof recovery including strict rest andrehabilitation.

Once your pet has undergone the rec-ommended period of exercise restric-tion, it is important to encourage it toexercise its leg with slow leash walksor through playtime activities.

“The biggest way to prevent CCLtears is to keep your pet at a properweight,” Kerwin said.

It is easy for animals to gain weight,especially if they spend most of theirtime indoors, because they do not getthe same level of exercise. Your veteri-narian can advise you on the properweight for your dog or cat.

When you were a little kid, youprobably heard your mother say“Eeeeuuuuuww, don’t pick thatup!” really often.

There were lots of nasty, ickythings that you thought wereinteresting then (and you mightstill), but that your mother knewwere definitely meant to be leftalone. Mud, for instance, bugs, oryucky stuff that was outside waytoo long. Bleah.

Those were the things youlearned to ignore, but there’s one icky substancethat’s actually very useful and kinda cool. In thenew book “Poopendous!” by Artie Bennett, illustra-tions by Mike Moran, you’ll see what it is.

Before you do anything, though, be sure thatyou’ve got a strong stomach. Then take a deepbreath, swallow hard, hold your nose, and let’s go ...

First of all, here’s something you already know:poop happens. Every living thing on Earth does itinside or outside (or both!), and there are lots ofwords for it: ca-ca, doo-doo, flop, guano, scat or dung.

Big animals leave big poop. Little creatures (likeflies) leave little spots of poo. In the animal king-dom, poop can be round (rabbits) or tubular pellets(raccoons), it can be white (like from birds) or cubed(Australia’s wombat). It can be dry (from a camel) orflat and messy (like what cows leave behind).

Termites live inmounds of poop.Dung beetlesuse it as food(ick!). Poopcan carryseeds around theworld and once theseeds are dropped, the poopwill help plants take root and grow.Farmers and gardeners use poo for thatvery reason. Monkeys sometimes like to throw poop,and people at fairs do it, too (only they call it a “cow-pie” or a “cow chip”). In either case, that poo is reallyfar-flung dung. Yuck!

Poop can mark a trail, or it can mark territory. Ifyou like to hike, poop can tell you if animals may benearby. Some people build houses of poop and othersuse it as fuel for cooking or to stay warm. Then there

are those who use poo as a souvenir or even for mak-ing jeeeuuuuwwelry!

What in the world would we do without doo-doo?Read this book and find out. You’ll be the most poop-ular kid in the neighborhood.

So your child has made exploration his doodie ... er,duty? He thinks scat is all that? So why not step inhis world and read to him something he’ll love?

Yes, indeed, “Poopendous!” is cute. The rhyme thatmakes the story will give your child piles of giggles.But Bennett also teaches kids a smidge of scienceand a bit of biology inside this book, a benefit thatdoesn’t wipe away the silliness one bit. Add in illus-trations by Moran that run poopendicular to thenarrative, and you’ve got a book that kids will neverwant to leave alone.

Meant for children ages 5 to 7, I think this bookmight de-squirm the right preschooler, too. If yourchild wants the scoop on poop, “Poopendous!” is abook to pick up.

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

THE BOOKWORM SEZ

By Terri Schlichenmeyer

Artie Bennett

This year’s West Central Antique Power Show willfeature “Minnesota-Made” tractors and machinery,including a 1915 gas-powered tractor called the LittleOak, originally built in Willmar and owned by RalphHall of Atwater, Minn. You’ll also see a 1915 Hustlergas engine also built in Willmar and owned by ByronBoike of Willmar. There will also be some equipmentbuilt by inmates at the Minnesota State Prison whenmachinery construction was a major industry of theprison.

The show takes place June 23-24 at its show site 1.5miles east of the junction of U.S. Highway 71 and Min-nesota Highway 7 (south of Willmar).

“We call it an antique tractor show but it keepsexpanding. Now we have antique cars, antique trucks,antique machinery, a flea market plus various ven-dors.

I have a good friend who is aregular reader of my column.He said something that Ihave heard on occasion fromother readers via e-mail.“Dave, almost every articleyou do is for charcoal. I don’tdo charcoal, I do gas.”

Tex, (that’s my friend’sname) this column is for youand all those grillers who havenot yet taken the leap to a char-coal grill. We are going to dis-cuss the basic, classic, grilledburger.

When outdoor cooks attempt to makea grilled hamburger, the end result canbe less than desirable.

Many times the burger resembles anoddly shaped meatball, crusty black onthe outside and undercooked on theinside. That’s a problem waiting to hap-pen. If you follow the basic skills out-lined in this column, you will say “good-bye forever” to the oddly shapedgrilling embarrassment.

• The first step is to buy good groundbeef. Too lean and the burger will bedry. Too much fat and you will havesevere burger shrinkage and a possiblefiery inferno on your hands. What youare looking for is 80-20, meaning 20percent fat content.

• This could be the most importantstep. After seasoning the beef with your

favorite spices (personally I stickto salt, pepper and a little Worces-tershire sauce) create a ball barelylarger than a baseball. Thisshould be around one-third of a

pound. Do not squeeze ittogether too tightly.

Flatten it out on a cuttingboard to the shape of a nor-mal burger. Now, make the

middle one-third of the burgerthinner than the outer two-thirds of the burger. The reason

you do this is while cooking, the meatpulls inward, which is why most peopleend up with a meatball.

You can see this technique atYouTube.com/BBQMyWay. Once youget there, search for “hamburger.”

• Preheat your grill to medium heat.Make sure you take a steel brush andclean the grate once it is nice and hot.Now, take an old towel and carefullyapply olive oil to the grate.

This helps eliminate potential stick-ing, which will destroy your burger.When I use a gas grill, I have one areaof the grill set up with no heat. You willsee how helpful this is in a bit.

• Place the patties over the heat andDO NOT GO ANYWHERE. On a gasgrill, flame ups will occur. Don’t goinside for water, an adult beverage, orto check a sports score. Grilling aburger doesn’t take long, so stay with

your burgers and focus. One thing Ihave noticed is that people like to playwith their burgers once they are on thegrill. The only time you will touch yourburger is to turn it, or to move it to thecool area of your grill if flame upsoccur. You will know it’s time to turnyour burger when juices start formingon the top of the meat.

Depending on the thickness of yourburger, this will happen after five min-utes or so.

• When you turn the burger count ona big flame from the juices that haveformed. Don’t freak out and pour wateron the flame. Feel free to move theburgers to the cool side until the flamessubside. Oh, and do not ever squish

your burger to flatten it out. You cre-ate flames and you are forcing out themoistness of the meat.

Cooking the second side will takeroughly one-half the time of the firstside. When doing gas, you can shut thelid if you prefer. Personally, I grill ongas with the lid open so I can see whatis going on.

So there you go Tex, and all gasgrillers, a column just for you on howto grill the perfect burger.

To compete in the WardWorld Championship WildfowlCompetition held each Aprilon the banks of historicChesapeake Bay at OceanCity, Md., is to be in somepretty rarefied atmosphere.

Named after Lem and SteveWard, historic baymen andprolific decoy makers duringthe late-1800s, the annualcompetition attracts some ofthe best wildfowl carvers inthe world.

It quickly became clear to Dave Jackson of ruralMankato, Minn., when he first traveled to the eventseveral years ago to compete that he still had somethings to learn.

“I’d entered a pair of wood ducks in the huntingdecoy division,” he said.

Understandingly, as working decoys, the counter-feit versions have to resemble the real McCoys. Hispair fared pretty well, at least until they got tossedinto the drink.

Holding true to working decoy’s purpose, theentries are judged as they float in the real worldenvironment of wind-swept Chesapeake Bay.

“During the judging, I looked at one of my woodducks and it had begun to list terribly,” Jacksonsaid. “It was embarrassing after the competitionwhen I had to pick it up.”

Closer inspection revealed the glue he had used tofuse the body shells and which claimed to be water-proof turned out to be no match for the bay’s saltwa-ter environment. A seam had split in the hollowduck body, allowing it to flood with water.

“I use a 3M marine glue now — the same stuff

they use on boats,” he said. “When you use that, itwon’t come apart.”

Davis took up the hobby of decoy carving 20 yearsago for something to do after he retired and hisrecent success at the 42nd staging of the prestigiouscompetition suggests he has come a long way fromthat leaking wood duck.

In April, he took a second place in the novice classof the Decorative Life-size Floating Waterfowl Divi-sion with an exquisitely detailed red-breasted mer-ganser, right down to a minnow with delicate finsdangling from its bill.

“The fins on that minnow were a challenge,” hesaid. “First I tried thin copper ... too thick. I was lay-ing awake at midnight and thought, ‘Maybe the stuffa toothpaste tube is made of if I could get paint to

stick to it.’” After a little experimentation, itproved to be the perfect solution to give theillusion of transparent, flexible fins.

Of course, the merganser, with its carvedfeathers and detailed paint, is artwork destinedfor the mantle.

But in Jackson’s and many carvers’ minds,the real challenge of the Ward Worlds is to befound in the Hunting Division, where creationsare judged less on detail than on their ability todo what decoys are supposed to do — lurewaterfowl into shotgun range.

In a world of working decoys, exquisite detailand delicate carvings are trumped by stylizedfeatures and practicality.

They must right themselves in the water,have sturdy features and durable paints, yethave enough minimalist detail to represent aparticular waterfowl species.

“If you’re a hunter, you don’t want decoysupside down when you toss them out,” he said.“Decoys have to right themselves immediately

on the water.” And of course, delicate features andpaints wouldn’t fare particularly well in the realrough-and-tumble world of waterfowl hunting.

And they still have to look convincing on the water.Thus at the Ward World Competition, huntingentries are scrutinized by judges from a floatingplatform as the entries bob on storied ChesapeakeBay.

Jackson entered a pair of coot, admittedly anunglamorous species, in the Gunning Pair Division,Confidence Bird Category. “Confidence birds arethose species that a duck might see that tell them itis safe to land — blue herons, geese, coots, sea gulls,”he said.

His entry garnered a first place in the Best ofSpecies and a second in Best of Category.

In spite of his recent success, Jackson still figureshe’s only “an average carver. ... When you go theWorlds and you see some of those creations — well,my work pales by comparison,” he said.

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondent Richard Siemers

Conversation starter

123 W. Main St.,Luverne, Minn.

Do you have a Back Roads story suggestion? E-mail [email protected] or write to Editor, The Land, P.O. Box 3169, Mankato, MN 56002.

Like a great empty canvas, the 90-foot side of thebuilding at 123 W. Main Street in Luverne,

Minn., had beckoned to be filled.The Rock County Fine Arts Association for five

years talked about a mural, said Cindy Reverts,the association’s treasurer. With Legacy Amend-ment funds available for public art, in January2010, Reverts agreed to spearhead the project. Tenmonths later the eye-catching Postcards mural wasunveiled.

The postcard theme came during brainstorming.It was a way to highlight Luverne landmarks, boththe historic and the current.

“We want people to look at it and start a conver-sation,” Reverts said. “We have so much history. Weput some old and new together.”

Famous sons — photographer Jim Brandenburg

and author Frederick Manfred — are featured onone postcard. There are historic buildings like thePalace Theater, the stone Hinckley House and theold Carnegie Library building.

A current National Guard soldier stands next tothe veteran’s statue in the Veteran’s Memorial Gar-den. The current and first hospital buildings arethere, as well as the high school building with for-mer and current Luverne Cardinal logos.

“We were fortunate to get Gary Hartenhoff as theartist,” Reverts said. Hartenhoff was able to com-bine his sign-painting experience with his fine artskills to create the 16-by-80-foot scene.

With the assistance of his professional artistdaughter and a talented granddaughter, theypainted the 40 4-foot-by-8-foot sheets of plywood inthree months. Assembled and attached to the build-

ing with brackets, it will be more permanent andeasier to maintain than painting on the brick wall.

A $10,000 Legacy funds grant through the South-west Minnesota Arts and Humanities Council wassupplemented with $15,000 donated by local busi-nesses, organizations and families. The city donateda crew to install the mural, and construction compa-nies volunteered lift equipment.

Many in the community contributed to this trib-ute to Luverne and the area — farm fields and BlueMounds State Park are also represented. Fortu-nately it is situated above a parking lot where youcan stop and study the postcards. If you’re lucky,you’ll catch someone from Luverne and start a con-versation on just what it all means.

The mural is easy to spot. It is on Main Street, oneblock east of U.S. Highway 75. ❖

S E C T I O N BTHE LAND June 8, 2012

The only thing thatstands between theUnited States and aninvasion of cattle-killing screwworms is adaily flight of airplanesflooding a 100-mile-wide section of the Isth-mus of Panama withmale screwworm fliesraised in a laboratoryand sterilized withradiation in Panama.

The screwworm infes-tations of the pastwould probably comeback if the releasesstopped for a couple ofmonths or so, said DanStrickman, Agricul-tural Research Servicenational programleader for veterinaryand medical entomol-ogy.

“This is a great exam-ple of agriculturalresearch changing thehistory of this country,and it’s a cutting-edgeexample of integrated pest manage-ment,” Strickman said.

This year marks the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture’s 150th anniver-sary, making it a particularly appro-priate time to look at this and otherexamples of history in the making.

The screwworm was wiped out of theUnited States by 1966 and Mexico by1991. The purging continued south toinclude Central America until the“barrier” reached across the entirenarrow Isthmus of Panama, and thescrewworm was declared eradicatedfrom Central and North America.

Before the USDA eradicated thespecies from the United States, thescrewworm — larvae of which eat liv-ing tissue of people and other animals— had plagued the Southwest, all ofFlorida, and parts of Georgia.

In 1937, Edward F. Knipling, then ata USDA laboratory in Menard, Texas,got the idea of flooding areas with sex-ually sterilized male screwworm flies.He believed that by releasing largenumbers of sterile male flies, theywould mate with nonsterile femalescrewworm flies and that the resulting“unsuccessful” mating would decreasethe population over time, driving theflies to extinction.

When Knipling came up with theidea, there was no known way of steril-izing the male flies. Then one day heread an article by the Nobel Prize-win-ning geneticist Hermann JosephMuller in Scientific American showingthat X-rays sterilized male fruit flieswithout interfering with their normalfunctions.

Knipling wrote to Muller to see

whether X-rays could be used tosterilize screwworm flies. Mullerwrote back immediately, indicatinghis interest in the idea.

That exchange — and subsequentexperiments demonstrating that theidea worked, including research bycolleague Raymond Bushland show-ing that sterile male screwwormscould be raised in a laboratory andfunction normally after release,including mating with nonsterilefemales — led to the historic screw-worm eradication program.

The sterile insect technique hasbeen used to eradicate screwwormselsewhere, including north Africa —where they were accidentally intro-duced — in the 1990s and mostrecently from Aruba. The techniquehas proved useful in controllingother pests as well, such as theMediterranean fruit fly and thetsetse fly.

The USDA screwworm researchbegan under the auspices of thedepartment’s Bureau of Entomologyand Plant Quarantine, which wastransferred to the Agricultural

Research Administration (whichbecame the Agricultural Research Ser-vice by the end of 1953). The laboratoryat Menard, Texas, was incorporated intothe U.S. Livestock Insect Laboratory in1946, which, in 1988, was renamed theKnipling-Bushland U.S. LivestockInsects Research Laboratory in honor ofthe two pioneering scientists. The facil-ity, located in Kerrville, Texas, works oncattle fever ticks, horn flies, stable flies

and other livestock pests.Live screwworms are not allowed in

the United States, however, so the labcan only work with DNA from thescrewworm. The live-screwwormwork is performed at the ScrewwormResearch Unit in Pacora, Panama, thesite of a huge factory that producessterile males for release. The Ker-rville lab continues to research effec-tive, less expensive methods to controlinsect pests of livestock.Keeping soil where it belongs

Another example of USDA researchchanging history occurred in 1938,when the USDA Soil ConservationService — now the Natural ResourcesConservation Service — and theTexas Agricultural Experiment Sta-tion created a laboratory in Bushland,Texas, in the wake of a dramatic winderosion event.

Poor agricultural practices for years,coupled with severe drought, left thesoil of extensive U.S. farmland exposed.The result was a multiyear period ofsevere dust storms in the 1930s.Known as the “Dust Bowl,” it was char-acterized by thick, black clouds of dirtand dust stretching across severalstates and millions of acres.

The Bushland lab’s charge was toprevent the intolerable conditions ofanother potential Dust Bowl and tominimize wind erosion, working withother state experiment stations —such as those in Kansas and Ohio —and other USDA labs.

USDA, from pg. 1BThey developed stubble mulch

tillage, leaving the residue of har-vested crops on the land over winter tokeep soil from blowing away and tosave precious soil moisture. This wasthe forerunner of the highly successfulpractice of no-till and other forms ofconservation tillage that drasticallyreduced erosion, whether by wind, rainor snowmelt.

ARS research was spurred further bythe drought of the 1950s. At the time,there were limitations to stubblemulch, mainly lower yields, so ARS setout to overcome those limitations and,in time, succeeded in making conserva-tion tillage an NRCS-recommended“best practice.”

ARS Bushland scientists continueconservation tillage research to thisday, improving techniques and adjust-ing to modern challenges. They havelearned to harness wind energy to pro-duce electricity for use in homes and onfarms. They continue research onwater conservation, taking advantageof the latest technology. Today, thatmeans getting information on soilmoisture from satellites.

It is unlikely that the Great Plainswill suffer another Dust Bowl as severeas the one in the 1930s. Isolated yetsignificant storms are inevitable, butthe conservation tillage and cropresidue management techniques devel-oped from ARS research will certainlyreduce the severity of dust storms inagricultural regions.Six nutrition research centers andfour regional research centers

USDA-ARS human nutritionresearch also changed the history ofthe nation and continues to do so. Thisresearch has long affected the dailylives of Americans, although the aver-age person may not realize it.

Let’s start with breakfast: The caloriecontent, fat percentage and nutrientcontent on the label of the cereal boxare required by the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, using ARS data thattraces back to the work of Wilbur OlinAtwater, the father of American nutri-tion, in 1894. He began the food analy-sis that today is listed on food contain-ers. He also pioneered the surveys ofpeople’s eating habits that continue tothe present.

Today, nutrition research is carriedout by six ARS human nutrition cen-ters in Arkansas, California, Maryland,Massachusetts, North Dakota andTexas. For example, definitive humanfeeding studies at the Beltsville, Md.,center showed the health benefits oflimiting trans fat consumption. Thisled to the FDA requiring food labels toinclude trans fat content and to foodcompanies reformulating products tolower their trans fat content.

Ironically, nutrition research in theearly days was directed at making sureAmericans got enough to eat; today,research has to deal with obesity prob-lems as well.

Many new products in the home —both food and nonfood — were a resultof USDA-ARS research beyond thehuman nutrition labs. Many of thesewere from research efforts at fourregional research centers establishedin 1938 to find new uses for agricul-tural commodities. Today, all four ofthese centers are designated AmericanChemical Society historical landmarksfor specific scientific achievements.

Those centers, strategically locatedacross the country — in California, Illi-nois, Louisiana and Pennsylvania —were created to help end chronic farmdepression by finding new, value-addeduses for surplus crops. By the end of1940 and early 1941, research began atthe centers, and many new value-added products — still in use today —were created as a result.

USDA, from pg. 2Blactose-free milk are probably amongthe top food and drink products devel-oped with ARS technology in terms ofdollar value in sales,” said David Klur-feld, ARS national program leader forhuman nutrition.

USDA-ARS successes from researchconducted at the centers also includeinstant mashed potatoes, explosion-puffed dehydration technology used todry foods, and the SuperSlurperstarch-based product used in makingsuper-absorbent diapers, baby powder,wound dressings, automotive productsand agricultural and horticulturalproducts, to name a few. The list goeson: a coating to keep fresh-cut fruit,like apple slices, from browning, nowavailable at fast-food restaurants andgrocery stores; Oatrim fat substitutemade from oat bran, used in ice creamand other foods to lower fat and caloriecontent; Sucromalt low-glycemicsweetener used in some food productsto help consumers stabilize and lowerblood sugar levels; soy-based fuels,inks and hydraulic fluids; and com-postable bowls, cups, plates and trays.

People who wake up between cottonsheets and put on cotton clothing —whether permanent press, wash-and-wear, or flame-retardant — may notrealize that they are benefiting fromARS research on improving cottonquality, processing and use.The war effort and beyond

ARS researchers started shapinghistory immediately, and their effortssupported the United States and alliesin World War II.

In 1940, ARS chemists in Peoria, Ill.— at the request of Great Britain —found a way to produce penicillin, dis-covered in 1928, as a powder suitablefor medicine. Then they found a way toproduce the drug in quantity, usingtheir expertise in growing molds inlarge fermentation vats. By the end of1942, 17 U.S. firms were making peni-cillin pills.

Peoria researchers found a superior,more productive penicillium strain ona moldy cantaloupe from a local mar-ket. They gave that mold to the drugcompanies, and the companies pro-duced enough penicillin to treat alliedsoldiers wounded on D-Day.

The Peoria lab’s expertise and tech-niques have been used in developingmany other products — including thefood thickener xanthan gum, biobasedfuels and other biobased products —and in modern genetic research.

As part of the U.S. Emergency Rub-

ber Project during World War II —aimed at finding domestic rubbersources — research at Wyndmoor, Pa.,and other USDA labs helped improvethe production of synthetic rubber.Their research was essential to theAllied victory, and remains useful tothis day for producing domestic rub-ber.

ARS researchers developed DEET torepel mosquitoes and other pests dur-ing wartime while looking for alterna-tives to citronella — which was inshort supply at the time. ARS alsocame up with techniques for makingmilitary clothing resistant to bitinginsects, mildew, rot and oil-based liq-uid chemical weapons. Other wartimediscoveries included better bandages,dextran (a blood plasma substitutemade from sugar beet pulp and sugar-cane), and MRE (Meals Ready to Eat)food items for the military.

Many of ARS’s discoveries and tech-niques developed during wartime haveled to peacetime uses that haveextended to today.Abundant, safe food

ARS research has always had aninternational aspect. Perhaps the bestexample is the work leading up to theGreen Revolution — a period ofincreased worldwide agricultural pro-duction.

In 1946, an ARS agronomist col-lected seeds of short-statured wheatsin Japan. These seeds were later dis-tributed to various U.S. wheat breed-ers, including a team led by ARSbreeder Orville Vogel, in Pullman,Wash. The group developed high-yield-ing, semi-dwarf wheat varieties thatwere further improved by NormanBorlaug, of the International Maizeand Wheat Improvement Center, toavert famines worldwide.

Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle,” anexposé of meat-processing practices ofthe past, resulted in the Meat Inspec-tion Act of 1906 and the beginnings ofa formal food safety agency at theUSDA. Although the USDA-ARSresearch has always had a food safetyaspect, a formal national research pro-gram was created in 1997 with theFood Safety Initiative under PresidentBill Clinton.

Today, ARS’s food safety researchincludes robotic inspections of poultryand goes beyond meat to include allfoods. A good example is an effort overthe past decade by ARS researchers atClay Center, Neb., and their col-leagues. These scientists have beensequencing genes to find those that

can be used as markers for serotypesof escherichia coli that produce Shigatoxin. Through this work, they haveworked with industry partners todevelop assays for Shiga toxin-produc-ing E. coli, including E. coli O157:H7,which causes foodborne illness.

This food safety program traces backto earlier research: A USDA chemist in1882 was one of the first to analyze thebacterium that causes tuberculosis.USDA scientists over the years also

showed the value of pasteurizing milkand determined the cooking tempera-ture needed to kill the pathogen thatcauses trichinosis.
