Experts discussthe pros andcons beginningon Page 19A

Only a grad student can drop a phraselike “potential synergisms” without sound-ing like an pretentious snob. Lucky for JimEckberg, he is one.

A grad student, that is.Eckberg, a University of Minnesota

agronomy grad student, uses the phrase toexplain a hesitant excitement he displaysabout a study — Integrative PerennialCropping Systems to Improve BiologicalControl of the Soybean Aphid — that heand numerous others at the U have begunworking on.

He is right to be reserved about theproject; it has only just begun and theyare far from forming solid conclusions. But excite-ment is certainly well-placed, because his projectcould very well bring together sometimes-opposi-tional forces into a multi-faceted, win-win situation.

The primary goal of agriculture has always been, ofcourse, to grow food to eat. There isalso the modern development ofrenewable fuels, mostly ethanolfrom corn. More recently there’s apush for biofuels from perennialplants such as grasses and trees.

While all of this is going on, we’vegot pests such as soybean aphidsadvancing every year, with agindustry giants constantly develop-ing new genetics and new chemicals to battle them.

Throw in growing public concern about an over-dependence on chemical use in food production, andyou’ve got one big mish-mash of conflicting elements,leaving farmers to balance maximizing profits andminimizing environmental impact.

What if there was a way to maybe bring these dis-parate elements together, to grow food AND fuelAND destroy pests AND reduce chemical use? EnterEckberg’s “potential synergisms.”

It starts with figuring out how to destroy yield-robbing soybean aphids “naturally.” Turns out thataphids have some very hungry natural enemies, inthe form of the tiny larvae of hover flies andlacewings.

When the larvae mature into adult bugs, however,their tastes change (can you blame them?) and theylook for nectar and pollen to satisfy their cravings.Flowers such as black-eyed Susans, New Englandasters, anise hyssop and maximilian sunflowersseem to be fairly tasty to them. (Eckberg calls themix of native wildflowers and grasses a “prairie poly-culture.”) Adult hover flies and lacewings can be alittle picky about their environment, and prefer not

to be buffeted around by the wind whenthey’re visiting the pollen bar, so a wind-break might encourage them to stickaround. A windbreak made of willowtrees, perhaps.

Say, aren’t willow trees a perennial thatcan be harvested as a bioenergy source?

It shouldn’t be too difficult to visualizehow the University of Minnesotaresearchers set up their project in thefield. Within a 10-acre soybean field, theycreate a 300-square-meter oasis of either

all “prairie polyculture,” all willowtrees, or a combination of the two. Thelatter set-up, with twin rows of willows

on either side of the square to protect the good bugsbuzzing about the flowers and grasses in the middle,is the scenario envisioned above.

The researchers believe this “alley cropping” tech-nique might provide the perfect combination of habi-tat and food that hover flies and other good bugs

would thrive on, and encouragethem to fly to the surroundingsoybean plants to deposit theiryoung near the all-you-can-eataphid buffet.

If that concept works asplanned, then the combination ofaphid-eating larvae plus currentaphid-resistant soybean cultivarswould keep “bad bug” numbers

below the threshold at which spraying is necessaryfor control.

And if a market for the woody bioenergy source —the willows — is available, then a farmer would havea more diversified crop portfolio along with “natural”pest control.

Those are a lot of ifs and coulds and maybes. Doesit actually work? Well, basically, Eckberg and hispals simply don’t know yet. Their research has justbegun, and there are too many variables to accountfor at this time. But those “potential synergisms” arepretty exciting, nonetheless.

Eckberg spoke at a recent Third Crop ProducerMeeting put on by Rural Advantage in Fairmont,Minn.

Danger prowled CapitolHill shortly after the Sen-ate ag committee approvedits version of the 2012 farmbill April 26.

The trouble wasn’t fromfolks who might have lostout when the committee“streamlined” 23 conserva-tion programs into 13 to“save” nearly $6.4 billionover the next 10 years orfrom angry farmers who, ifthe Senate bill holds sway,will lose more than $5 billion a year indirect farm program programs begin-ning in 2013.

No, the real danger that day wasgetting a bipartisan slap in the kisserif you asked any committee memberwhat part of the Agriculture Reform,Food and Jobs Act of 2012 containedany reform, food and jobs.

Certainly, the legislation containedbig changes: $4 billion in cuts to nutri-tion programs, a Rural Developmenttitle that cut over $1 billion in the com-ing decade and, touted Ranking Mem-ber Pat Roberts of Kansas, “over SIXTY(his emphasis) authorizations elimi-nated from the Research Title,” cutting“at least $770 million over five years.”

Cutting agriculturalresearch programs andchopping Rural Develop-ment is neither wise norbrave. It is easy, however,like taking lunch moneyfrom the weakest kid on theschool bus and declaring“Look what I found!”

The centerpiece of theSenate farm plan is anexpansion of crop insurance,the fastest-growing hottiechased by everyone in Con-

gress because it looks both great andcheap. Two recent examinations of it,however, say it is neither.

The first, authored by Iowa StateUniversity economist Bruce Babcockfor the Environmental Working Group,claims a crop insurance program that“covers crop losses of more than 30 per-cent” — yield shortfalls, not today’sheavily subsidized revenue guarantees— could be given free to all farmersand save taxpayers “$26 billion in pre-mium subsidies over 10 years,” $3 bil-lion more than the entire Senate billsaves.

(Links to the 25-page Babcock reportand other documents are posted atwww.farmandfoodfile.com.)

The reason, explains the report isbecause “Over 80 percent of ‘crop’insurance policies now insure businessincome even if there is no yield loss ...This has doubled the cost to taxpayers...”

In practical terms, writes Babcock,that means “the average unsubsidizedpremium” for a 15 percent deductible“revenue” protection policy on a Cham-paign County, Ill., corn farm is $52 peracre. After the federal subsidy, how-ever, the price plummets to $26.

A similar, 15 percent “yield” policycarries an $11 per acre subsidy and,after application, costs $17 per acre.

So, what would you do if you couldinsure 85 percent of total revenue — aguaranteed yield and a guaranteedprice — for $26 per acre or just 85 per-cent of yield at $17 per acre? You’dspend the extra $9 because it offersmore coverage, less risk and carries abigger subsidy.

And that’s exactly what has hap-pened; farmers use the bigger subsidiesto, wisely, “buy up” coverage. As such,federal crop insurance subsidies havesoared from $2.4 billion in 2001 to $9billion in 2011.

A second study, done by the Govern-ment Accountability Office, calculatesthat if crop insurance subsidies werecapped at $40,000 per individual — “as

it is for other farm programs” — fed-eral costs would have been $1 billioncheaper in 2011.

More staggering, adds the GAO, the$40K limit would have affected only 3.9percent of all “participating farmers,who accounted for about one-third ofall premium subsidies ...”

Against that evidence, Senate aggiesfattened today’s fast-expanding cropinsurance program even more andHouse aggies are on record ready tojoin ’em at the subsidy trough because,as Babcock writes in his report, “theonly rationale for a new federal rev-enue guarantee program on top ofexisting revenue insurance programs isthat it seems politically easier todefend than direct payments.”

But crop insurance, fat or lean, is nota farm program. “Crop insurance willnot provide protection against pricedeclines that occur across years thattypically persist across multiple years,”warns University of Illinois extensionspecialist Gary Schnitkey.

As such, the Senate’s farm bill is liketrading sugar water for Kool-Aid. It’s asweet deal for farmers, but it’s justmore empty spending by Congress.

The Senate agriculture committee recently passedthe first farm bill in decades that provides no fund-ing for rural community and economic development.Creating rural jobs and economic opportunitiesshould be a farm bill priority. Without real commit-ment and investment, the Rural MicroentrepreneurProgram will shut down and stop creating jobs. Lit-tle help will be available for value-added agriculture.Jobs that would have been created won’t be there forthe people of rural Minnesota.

These are tough budgetary times. But as the Sen-ate works to tighten farm bill spending, they shouldmake choices that reflect America’s priorities.Investing in jobs for people who need them and inthe future of America’s rural cities and small townsis one such priority.

Small and midsized farms should be another. Butunlimited subsidies to some of the nation’s largestfarms and wealthiest landowners should not. Today,if one huge operation farmed all of Minnesota, theU.S. Department of Agriculture would pay 60 per-cent of their premiums for insurance against fallingcrop prices and yields on every single acre in everyyear — even with record high crop prices and sky-rocketing federal deficits.

Thankfully, the Senate agriculture committeeclosed loopholes that mega-farms use to evade caps

on traditional farm payments. But they did nothingto rein in unlimited crop insurance subsidies andmade no commitment to rural development.

Let’s see — unlimited subsidies for the nation’slargest farms or investments in jobs for rural people

and a brighter future for their communities? Thebest choice is obvious.

To the Editor:In the “I want a divorce”

drama, two truthsemerge: 1) Staff Writer Dick Hagen is an excellentwriter, who adds experience and insight to a naturalability; 2) A flaming torch thrown into a gasolinesoaked field will create a prairie fire.

The latest issue of The Land arrived in the mail-box still smoldering with angst. Let us be clear.There is truth and good public policy on both sidesof this vitriolic landscape, and in the interest of dis-closure, I have supported some of the same candi-dates as Hagen. Further, I have found that in work-ing with members of Congress and staffers inWashington, D.C., that there are good people onboth sides of the aisle. However, I maintain mybelief in the torch and gasoline theory. The piecewas beneath Hagen, beneath The Land, and didnothing to solve the problem.

In many ways I agree with the letters that support theinitial column. However, neither honestly deals with theclaims made in the initial piece. The first acknowledgesHagen’s abilities but goes on to quote Colonel Jessupfrom the film “A Few Good Men,” suggesting that thosewho do not agree cannot handle the truth. Nathan Jes-sup arranged for the death of a Marine under his com-mand. Is that a truth anyone would support?

Among other issues, the second makes the excellentpoint that responsibility for the poor does not neces-sarily mean the government but is an individualresponsibility. However, that provides little cover forthe anonymous writer who agreed to take the Bibleand give up the poor. You can’t have it both ways.

Further it is somewhat awkward for those of us inagriculture who benefit from farm programs to makeaspersions against those who receive public funds. Ineither condemn nor defend farm programs but one

could muse about how the founding fathers wouldstand on the issue.

Perhaps the most egregious portion of the second let-ter was the claim of “nasty and bitter responses.” Thereality is that they matched the tenor of the originalarticle. It does no good in light of this difficult divisionto go to our collective corners and fight. The piece wasa pathetic plea for help that created ill will. If you con-sider its value, ask how many were “converted.”

Welfare reform is important. However, the impactof corporations on this country is massive and hasmuch to do with our national dilemma. From exces-sive compensation to unlimited campaign financingand “too big to fail” there is much to consider that thefounding fathers couldn’t imagine.

There is the matter of common sense. For my part,impatience is thin with the “birther” claims and onecandidate’s suggestion that birth control may leadpeople to do things they shouldn’t...

Yes, there are arguments on the fringe of bothsides that will not be solved in the editorial section ofa paper. However, “I want a divorce” is incendiaryand hopelessly dramatic; one of the most blatant

OPINION

See LETTER, pg. 7A

The IntergovernmentalPanel on Climate Changeadmitted recently it had noevidence to support the various claimsthat the planet’s weather is becoming“more extreme.”

The new IPCC report on weatherextremes reads: “While there is evidencethat increases in greenhouse gases havelikely caused changes in some types ofextremes, there is no simple answer toquestion of whether the climate, in gen-eral, has become more or less extreme.”

Incredibly, even this non-confirmationis false. The more correct answer is “lessextreme.” Moreover, paleoclimate proxyrecords have already told us about thetruly awful climate extremes of the past10,000 years — most of them mega-droughts during “little ice ages.”

For example, the 300-year droughtthat beset today’s Iraq in 2200 BC. Theinhabitants all starved, and the land wasleft to a few nomadic shepherds until thewarm phase of the 1,500-year Dans-gaard-Oeschger cycle returned stableweather. Then the Tigris-Euphrates Val-ley produced a new irrigated agricultureand built the world’s first cities. This val-ley’s devastation/recovery pattern hashappened at least seven different times,in the D-O’s 1,500-year rhythm.

Nor did the IPCC mention the 11thcentury AD mega-drought in the north-ern California mountains, with lakelevels falling 70 feet below “normal.” Atthe same time, the Anasazi and dozensof other western Indian tribes weredriven from their homes forever. In theCorn Belt, the mega-drought destroyedCahokia, Illinois, the only city theAmerIndians ever built.

What about the four huge sea-floodsthat attacked Northern Europe over aperiod of about 40 years in the 12thcentury? Whole counties were buriedunder storm sands and are still buriedthere. Each of these massive stormsdrowned more than 100,000 people.The biggest drowned 300,000, from apopulation of perhaps 75 million. If it

happened today, with thepresent population den-sity, that number might be

expanded to 3 million deaths.The ship’s logs of the British Navy

reveal twice as many major land-falling Caribbean hurricanes duringthe latter part of the Little Ice Age(1700-1850) as during the last half ofthe 20th century — when the planetwas supposedly warming at an“unprecedented” rate.

Nor did the IPCC mention the pastperiods of favorable climate, such as the800 years of the Roman Warming, 200BC to AD 600. The Romans built theirempire on grain imported from an irri-gated North Africa and the Nile Valleyof Egypt. At AD 600 however, the worldcollapsed in the drought of the DarkAges. Barbarians invaded Italy. Ratfleas fled drought in the steppes ofwestern China and brought bubonicplague to Europe, again, as they hadduring the droughts of the Dark Ages.

The population of Rome fell from morethan 1 million to about 20,000 by AD700. Simultaneously, some 15 millionMayans starved in Central America dur-ing a “century of drought” after AD 800.

People living today have seen almostnothing of extreme weather. NorthernEurope, in the early stages of the LittleIce Age, became extraordinarily wet. Pio-neer climate historian Hubert Lamb tellsus peat bogs spread, crops failed to ripen,famines starved the people, and epi-demics spread tuberculosis and ergotism(the result of harvesting wet, fungus-infected rye). Ergotism caused mass delu-sions, hysteria, and gangrene. At worst,the victims’ fingers, toes, and even entirelimbs would literally fall off their bodies.

I’m tired of hearing about “extremeweather” from so-called experts in themidst of the warm, stable ModernWarming. History tells us clearly ourclimate is as good as it will ever get.

Letter: Potential to destroy

Serious and even not-so-serious anglers hang all sortsof sophisticated electronicsfrom their boat, all to tip theodds in their favor to catch afew fish.

But nowadays, among themost important electronicfishing tools for Minnesotaanglers might just be thehome computer.

For decades, the MinnesotaDepartment of NaturalResources Division of Fisheries has conducted peri-odic fish population surveys on most of the state’sfishing lakes.

“Minnesota’s lake history data base is second tonone in the country,” said TJ DeBates, the supervi-sor at the DNR’s Waterville Fish Hatchery. “TheDNR has been gathering lake data for decades.”

That data, along with stocking records, lake mapsand other lake information compiled over decadescan be found in the LakeFinder section on theDNR’s website at www.dnr.state.mn.us.

The information makes fascinating reading andgives anglers an idea of what to expect when theyhit a particular body of water for the first time.

In some cases, however, the LakeFinder informa-tion listed for a lake — population assessments,stocking records — are too old to accurately reflectcurrent conditions.

“Most lakes are surveyed every five years or so,certain core management lakes more frequently,” hesaid. Typically, it has taken as long as 1 1/2 yearsfor lake survey information to be posted for a givenbody of water.

That lag time should shrink dramatically sinceDNR Fisheries personnel now carry electronictablets into the field where data can be directlyentered into data base templates.

In the past, catch and size rates of the variousspecies captured in survey nets were recorded theold fashioned way — with pencil and paper — whileon the water.

That data then was compiled and entered duringthe winter months, DeBates explained.

After being analyzed by area biologists, it would movedown the line to the regional and finally to a state level,before manually being entered into the LakeFinder.

Utilizing the tablets has streamlined the operation,allowing the data to be accessed and reviewed morequickly.

Following review of lake survey data on area andregional levels, it then becomes just a matter ofsomeone in St. Paul flipping a switch to update aparticular survey.

“It will be more real time,” he said. “Where it usedto take 1 1/2 years to get the latest information upon Lake Finder, it now will happen much morequickly.”

DeBates said LakeFinder data from those mostrecent surveys should now be online and availablefor viewing.

“Up North” is a traditional openingday destination for many Minnesotaanglers. But gas prices flirting with $4a gallon likely will inspire someanglers to scratch their fishing itch alittle closer to home.

Fortunately, there are scores of lakesacross southern Minnesota that thanksto regular stocking efforts, offer thepotential for bringing home the keyingredient to a walleye dinner.

A list compiled by the MinnesotaDepartment of Natural ResourcesRegion 4 Fisheries Division based onrecent fish population surveys namesseveral lakes that hold the promise ofhooking a gamefish or two:

Madison Lake (1,439 acres, BlueEarth County): Madison Lake is aperennial opening day destination. A2011 survey revealed a catch of 11walleye per net, averaging 18.7 inchesand weighing a little over two pounds.The lake also has a good northern pikepopulation at 8/net and a healthy pop-ulation of black crappie. But be fore-warned: It’s a very popular opening daylake, so if you choose to snooze, youlose. Access locations are North ShorePark in town, in Bray County Park andthe DNR landing north of the park.

Marion Lake (594 acres, McLeodCounty): Test nettings of this lakeabout eight miles south of Hutchinsonconducted in 2010 turned up an excel-lent walleye catch rate of 26.4/net. Therewas a strong 2008 year-class presentthat should now measure over 15 inches.The access is located in the Lake MarionCounty Park on the east side. The parkalso offers shore-fishing opportunities.

Scotch Lake (596 acres, Le SueurCounty): The lake has been stocked withfry in odd numbered years since 2009, andnorthern pike in even-numbered years. In2009, 21.5 walleye and 13.7 northernturned up per net.Walleyes averaged 18.7inches and about three pounds. Northernsaveraged about 2.5 pounds. Access is onthe northwest end of the lake.

Albert Lea Lake (2,658 acres,Freeborn County): Stocked with 5.2million walleye fry in 2004 and sincefollowed by stockings in odd-numberedyears, this shallow sprawling lake nearthe community by the same nameturned up 41 walleye/net in 2010, rang-ing from 13-20 inches. Yellow perchalso were abundant at 141/net. A goodnumber of the perch were over 8 incheslong but the majority were smaller.Translated, it means the walleyealready are well-fed and could be toughto catch. Accesses are located in Albert

Lea, at Myre-Big Island Park and onthe south side of the lake.

Fountain Lake (521 acres, Free-born County): This lake, also located atAlbert Lea has a healthy walleye popula-tion at 6/net, measuring an average of 21inches. But a 2011 test netting turned up14 pike/net, averaging about two poundsand measuring from 19 to 26 inches. Iffish with scales aren’t cooperating, Foun-tain Lake also has abundant catfish.Fourteen cats per net were caught in2011, stretching from 21 to 31 inches.Accesses are located at the north side ofthe lake in Edgewater Park and on theeast side of the lake in the narrows.

Mazaska Lake (681 acres, RiceCounty): Test nettings in 2007 turnedup 7 walleye/net and 11 northern/net.Information on sizes wasn’t listed. Pub-lic accesses are located on the southeastand southwest sides of the lake.

Fox Lake (312 acres, RiceCounty): Walleyes were captured at8.6/net and pike were caught at 8.4/net.The majority of the walleyes were“eaters” ranging from 13 to 20 inches.Northerns were on the small side meas-uring from 17-23 inches. The publicaccess is located on the south shore.

Sabre Lake (258 acres, Le SueurCounty): The DNR reports made nomention of walleyes in this small lake.Northerns were netted at the rate of7/net in 2009. The majority of the fishwere longer than 20 inches and excep-tionally chunky, weighing in at anaverage weight of 3.5 pounds.

Horseshoe Lake (417 acres, LeSueur County): Northern pike werecaught in the most recent lake survey at arate of 6.3/net with most of the fish rang-ing from 20-30 inches long. The largestfish stretched to 37 inches. While test net-tings revealed few walleyes, a good wall-eye bite last fall suggests anglers could dowell on them this spring. Access to thelake is located on the southeast shore.

Depending how much rain fallsbetween now and the opener, anglersalso might consider poking around theMinnesota River or the Blue EarthRiver, both of which hold good numbersof walleye. The Minnesota holds the pos-sibility of producing some real lunkers.

Finally, while walleyes are in thecrosshairs of most opening day anglers,recent warm temperatures should havepanfish in local lakes going gangbusters.And a pile of crappie or bluegill fillets friedto a golden brown can salve even the mostinjured ego of a walleye angler done goneskunked on opening day. — John Cross

Several southern Minnesota lakesprovide chance for walleyes

Driving a car is a symbol of inde-pendence and competence in theUnited States, and is closely tied toan individual’s identity. It also repre-sents freedom and control and allowsolder adults to gain easy access tosocial connections, health care, shop-ping, activities and even employment.

At some point, however, it is pre-dictable that driving skills will deterio-rate and individuals will lose the abil-ity to safely operate a vehicle. Eventhough age alone does not determinewhen a person needs to stop driving, the decisionmust be balanced with personal and public safety.

Driving beyond one’s ability brings an increasedsafety risk or even life-threatening situations to allmembers of society. Statistics show that older driv-ers are more likely than others to receive traffic cita-tions for failing to yield, making improper left turns,and running red lights or stop signs, which are allindications of a decrease in driving skills. Under-standably, dealing with impaired older drivers is adelicate issue.

The road to driving cessation is anything but smooth.Each year, hundreds of thousands of older driversacross the country must face the end of their drivingyears and become transportation dependent. Unfortu-nately, finding other means of transportation has notnoticeably improved in recent years, leading to reluc-tance among older drivers to give up driving privilegesand of families to remove the car keys. The primaryissue facing older drivers is how to adapt to changes indriving performance while maintaining necessarymobility. Despite being a complicated issue, this processcan be more successful when there is a partnershipbetween the physician, older driver, family or caregiver.

According to the Hartford Insurance Corporation,

statistics of older drivers showthat after age 75, there is a higherrisk of being involved in a collisionfor every mile driven. The rate ofrisk is nearly equal to the risk ofyounger drivers ages 16 to 24. Therate of fatalities increases slightlyafter age 65 and significantlyafter age 75. Although older per-sons with health issues can besatisfactory drivers, they have ahigher likelihood of injury ordeath in an accident.

Undoubtedly, an older adult’s sense of independ-ence vs. driving risk equals a very sensitive andemotionally charged topic. Older adults may agreewith the decline of their driving ability, yet feel asense of loss, blame others, attempt to minimize andjustify, and ultimately may feel depressed at thethought of giving up driving privileges. Driving is anearned privilege and in order to continue to drivesafely, guidelines and regulations must be in place toevaluate and support older drivers.Dementia and driving cessation

Alzheimer’s disease and driving safety are of par-ticular concern to society. Alzheimer’s disease is themost common cause of dementia in later life and is aprogressive and degenerative brain disease. In theprocess of driving, different regions of the brain coop-erate to receive sensory information through visionand hearing, and a series of decisions are madeinstantly to successfully navigate. The progression of

AD can be unpredictable and affect judgment, rea-soning, reaction time and problem-solving.

For those diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, it isnot a matter of if retirement from driving will benecessary, but when. Is it any wonder that drivingsafety is compromised when changes are occurringin the brain? Where dementia is concerned, drivingretirement is an inevitable endpoint for whichactive communication and planning among drivers,family, and health professionals are essential.

Current statistics from the Alzheimer’s Associa-tion indicate that 5.3 million Americans haveAlzheimer’s disease and this number is expected torise to 11 million to 16 million by the year 2050.Many people in the very early stages of Alzheimer’scan continue to drive; however, they are at anincreased risk and driving skills will predictablyworsen over time. The Alzheimer’s Association’sposition on driving and dementia supports a statelicensing procedure that allows for added reportingby key individuals coupled with a fair, knowledge-able, medical review process.

Overall, the assessment of driving fitness in agingindividuals, and especially those with dementia, isnot clear cut and remains an emerging and evolvingfield today.

Sometimes we get a glimpse of heavenright here on earth.

If the adage holds true that childrenare a handful, then it’s also true thatthey are a heart-full. For one mother andfather I know, both of these things holdespecially true, even more so than theamount of truth it holds for all parents.

Elizabeth was born such a beautifulbaby and was such a cute little girl. Asshe grew, though, her parents could tellthat something was different about her.She didn’t respond to life in the normalways that other kids her age did, andshe wasn’t speaking like other toddler children did.They searched for quite a long time to find out whather story was — and finally one day they heard theword “autism.”

And their search for answers stopped.That diagnosis began a whole new way of living and

a brought a brand new understanding of what theirnon-verbal daughter had been trying to tell them.

A special needs child brings a lot of things to afamily — patience, frustration, understanding, anxi-ety, sleep deprivation, occasional glares from adultswho don’t understand such kids, and a family’sopen-mindedness toward other children like theirs.But most of all, it brings out in a family a ferociousdesire to protect and help that child in a world thatisn’t always so eager to accept them. It brings loveto a family most of all.

Every minute of Elizabeth’s life has been a teach-ing moment. Her parents didn’t “settle” for whatElizabeth thought she could do; they have alwaysdriven her to be her best — she was even speakinga little bit by the time she was a dozen years old orso. After all those years, they could finally hear

their daughter say “Hi.” It was a single-word victory that took years to accom-plish. They rallied over it, and moved on tothe next life lessons.

I received a call from Elizabeth’s fatheron a Saturday evening a few weeks ago. Itwas prom night at our local high school,and he told me that Elizabeth was going tobe part of it. (Elizabeth had earlier found away to ask if she couldgo to the prom.) Herfather asked if I wouldtake a few pictures ofher there.

When my husband and Iarrived at the high school, wemade our way up the stands andsat by her father, who wasalready beaming with pride.Elizabeth’s mother was not inthe gym waiting yet, but washelping her get ready behind thescenes.

By the time the grand marchbegan, her mom had made herway up to us, and was a bundleof nerves, hoping that Elizabethwould do well in front of all those people. She hadreceived extra encouragement and love from herfamily on that night, and when that was the mostthey could give to her for this event, they left the restto chance.

About halfway through the grand march, Elizabethemerged on the arm of her big brother (who hadgraduated two years before, and who also had aprom date on his other arm). It was three people whowere connected not only with linked arms, but withlinked hearts. They were a sight to behold.

It’s hard to describe the pride that Elizabeth’s par-ents felt in those brief few moments that their kidsboth walked in the grand march. Elizabeth did won-

derfully, carrying herself like the beautiful youngwoman she is becoming, and never missing a beat.She scanned the crowd, and returned to her seat as aquiet, poised, young lady.

For her parents, that experience was far more thanwhat it is for most of us who have never lived with aspecial needs child. For that one day, Elizabeth got tobe a “normal” child, and experience the prom, asevery other high school girl can do if she chooses. For

Elizabeth and her family, it wasmore than just a prom event —it was a personal victory. Andafter 17 years of day-to-day lifewith an autistic child, this bitter-sweet moment had been a longtime in coming for her parents.

When the grand march endedand the picture-taking was over,her mother’s eyes welled withtears, showing the world howhard they had all worked for thisday, and what it meant for theirdaughter to be part of somethingthey never dreamed she would beable to do. Elizabeth, whoappeared to not really know whatthe big deal was that evening, wasborn into a very special family.

Once again, the hand of an all-knowing God at work.I think the term “special needs” is most appropri-

ate, because there certainly is something specialabout children like Elizabeth. Maybe it lies in thefact that, without even knowing it, kids like herteach us “normal people” the most important life les-sons — about being happy, and about what uncondi-tional love really means.

Yes, it was a glimpse of heaven on earth. And I’m soglad to have been part of it.

NEW 2012 RAM CREW CABS!SLICED OVER$9000

OFF!

I have always been fascinated withgyros. The combination of the spicedmeats, the fresh cucumber sauce allwrapped nicely in pita bread make itthe perfect meal, especially at outdoorsporting events and festivals. But I hadnever tried making my own, until now.

Gyros prepared the official way arelayers of beef, lamb and sometimespork, all placed on a rotisserie andslow-roasted for hours.

Practically every spice you have onhand will be used in this dish.

Gyros originated in Greece hundredsof years ago, but are fairly new here inthe States. Best I can tell they startedshowing up in Chicago in the mid-1960s. While the meat I use in thisrecipe is ground, the flavors are allthere in full force.

But, in typical “BBQ My Way” fash-ion, I took it one step further. I pre-pared them on the grill which gavethem the authentic outdoor flavor Iwas hoping for. If you like gyros, givethis recipe a try. This recipe is a doublebatch. I froze half of it for future use.

1 lb. ground lamb

1 lb. ground beef1 lb. ground pork1 onion finely chopped1/8 cup chopped garlic1 1/2 Tbs. oregano1 1/2 Tbs. marjoram1 Tbs. ground cumin1 tsp. ground coriander1 1/2 Tbs. rosemary,

dried and ground1 1/2 Tbs of ground black pepper1 1/2 tsp. Kosher saltSauté the onion and garlic in a little

olive oil to bring out the sweetness.Once the onion mixture is cooled, addall “meat” ingredients in a large bowl.Mix with hands until all ingredientsare thoroughly incorporated. Set asidein the fridge for an hour to let the fla-vors meld together. On to the sauce.

Cucumber Sauce1 cup sour cream1 cup Greek yogurt1 cup cucumber, peeled, grated and

squeezed of its water1 tsp minced garlic1 tsp fresh dill finely chopped1 tsp prepared mustard1/2 tsp kosher salt

Combine all ingredients and chill.Grilling the gyro: Set up the grill withindirect heat, which is stacking 20 to 25briquets on one side of the grill. Once

they are 75 percent ashen, sprinklewith a cup or two of hickory ships.Form the meat into oblong patties,

the size that you think would fit per-fectly into your pita bread.

Place the patties on the opposite sideof the coals and put the lid on, all ventsopen. Allow to cook indirectly for 20 to

30 minutes. Then, briefly place themdirectly over the goals to provide sometexture. Be careful, as they will causeflame ups. Bring them in, assembleyour authentic gyro with fresh toma-toes, lettuce and cucumber sauce.

Like people, dogs are susceptible tothe negative effects of aging on themind and body. Canine cognitive dys-function or “doggie dementia” is a dis-order similar to dementia in people.

“Signs for canine cognitive dysfunc-tion include problems with learning,housetraining, awareness of surround-ings, and problems with the wake/sleepcycle,” said Joseph Mankin, clinicalassistant professor at the Texas A&MCollege of Veterinary Medicine & Bio-medical Sciences.

“Dogs may also appear confused,have increased episodes of restlessness,and may have less interest in playingor appear irritable.”

Mankin says that cognitive dysfunc-tion cases increase with age. About athird of dogs show one or more signs atthe age of 11 and most dogs show signsof the dysfunction at the age of 16.

At this time, there is no breed predis-position. The only common indicatingfactor for dogs is the age.

If you feel your dog is showing signsof mind degeneration, visit with yourveterinarian to learn more about possi-ble diagnosis and treatment plans.

“The syndrome is diagnosed based onthe patient’s clinical signs and activ-ity/behavioral changes at home,”Mankin said. “There is not a specifictest to diagnose the problem, althoughchanges on advanced imaging of thebrain can give some indication.”

“Treatment of cognitive dysfunctionincludes certain medications, environ-mental changes, and changes in diet,”Mankin said. “With this syndrome,

there may be an association with thelack of dopamine and there are medica-tions that can increase dopamine activ-ity that can help with a patient’s clini-cal signs.”

Diets high in antioxidants can also bebeneficial for your pet’s treatmentplan. Hills has a line of diet options.

Mankin recommends implementingincreased activity among your dog tohelp slow the degenerative process.

“Environmental enrichment in theform of playing with toys, interactingwith other dogs, and learning newtricks can be effective in lessening thesigns of cognitive dysfunction,” Mankinsaid.

There are also no proven preventa-tive measures that an owner can take.The best recommendations are to keepyour dog healthy by giving it a bal-anced diet and continuing its exercise.Canine cognitive dysfunction is a func-

tion of the brain aging, and unfortu-nately most of the time it is inevitable.

It is important to remember that notall dogs will display all the signs of thisdysfunction. That is why it is impor-tant to take your dog to your veterinar-ian if it displays any behavioralchanges. Your veterinarian can look forcommon disorders that might explainwhat is going on with your pet.

“If your pet is starting to become con-fused, having accidents in the house, ordisplaying any behavioral changes, anappointment with your regular veteri-narian would be indicated,” saidMankin. “There are several other dis-ease processes that can start with simi-lar clinical signs, so an exam and per-forming routine blood work is the firststep in diagnosing the condition andruling out other common causes.”

If initial test results do not explainthe cause for your pet’s abnormalbehavior, or if the results suggest addi-tional information is required, the nextstep may be to see a specialist likeMankin. Your veterinarian can refer youto a veterinary neurologist whom canhelp determine what the problem is.

The natural aging process can be aspainless as possible for your dog if youcontinue routine checkups with yourveterinarian, and continue to be awareof your dog’s habits.

By CAROLYN VAN LOHThe Land Correspondent

Few people realize that 1862 was agroundbreaking year for agriculturein the United States. Union and Con-federate forces battled in the Penin-sula Campaign of Virginia from Marchinto July, but General McClellanabandoned the plans to seize Rich-mond. Meanwhile, animosity betweensettlers and the Dakotas in Minnesotawas intensifying and would lead to theDakota War in August.

When Lincoln campaigned for presi-dent in 1860, he ran on a Republicanplatform that contained a plankexpressing the need for a homesteadmeasure and another plank promot-ing federal aid to construct a railroadto the Pacific Ocean. Two other pro-posals not in the platform wanted thefederal government 1) to grant land

for founding colleges designated toteach agriculture and engineering and2) to establish a federal department ofagriculture.

In 1862, President Lincoln signedinto law four bills that had a lastingeffect on agriculture in our country.U.S. Department of Agriculture

Lincoln signed the bill establishingthe USDA on May 15, 1862. IsaacNewton, farmer and chief of the agri-culture section of the Patent Officesince 1861, was selected to head thenew department. He and his familywere friends of Lincoln, and he sentbutter to the White House each week.Newton had the full support of Presi-dent Lincoln in managing the newlycreated department.

In his last annual message to Con-gress 2 1⁄2 years later, Lincoln

applauded the department when hesaid, “The Agricultural Department,under the supervision of its presentenergetic and faithful head, is rapidlycommending itself to the great andvital interest it was created toadvance. It is precisely the people’sdepartment, in which they feel moredirectly concerned than in any other. Icommend it to the continued attentionand fostering care of Congress.”

The USDA, under the leadership ofSecretary Tom Vilsack, is commemo-rating the 150th anniversary of thedepartment throughout the year.Homestead Act

May 20, just five days after signing theUSDA bill, Lincoln signed the Home-stead Act. This law provided any UnitedStates citizen or prospective citizen(head of family over 21 years of age) theopportunity to reside on 160 acres forfive years while making improvements.After that time, the settler owned theland. For those impatient to own land,they could pay $1.25 per acre after resid-ing on the chosen property for 6 monthsand improving the plot of land.Pacific Railway Act of 1862

On July 1, Lincoln signed the billgranting ownership of land needed tobuild the transcontinental railroad to

the Union Pacific, building from theeast, and the Central Pacific, buildingfrom the west. Money was also allottedto construct the Union Pacific-CentralPacific Railroad. When the project wascompleted seven years later, theUnited States boasted a railroad sys-tem connecting the Atlantic andPacific Oceans. Villages sprang upalong the tracks, and farmers had away to ship their products to market.Morrill Act

Lincoln signed the Morrill Land GrantCollege Act on July 2. This act donatedpublic land to states for establishing col-leges of agriculture and mechanicalarts. Every state created at least oneland grant institution. Today the Uni-versity of Minnesota and Iowa StateUniversity, along with over 70 other uni-versities in states and territories, canboast of being a land grant university.

Agriculture Secretary Vilsackaddressed a general session at theCommodity Classic in NashvilleMarch 2 on the topic of the 2012 farmbill. In his closing comments, hereminded his audience that Congressand President Lincoln didn’t use theexcuse “we can’t afford it” when consid-ering the four landmark bills thataffected agriculture. ❖

ANDERSON SEEDSof St. Peter, MN37825 Cty. Rd. 63 • (507) 246-5032

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

Patrick Moore speaks from experience.“I consider the Minnesota River val-

ley, especially the corridor upstreamfrom New Ulm, to be the greatestwildlife area in Minnesota,” saidMoore, for 22 years the ExecutiveDirector of Clean Up the River Envi-ronment. His CURE business cardreads, “The Minnesota River: Float It,Fish It, Fix It.”

Moore was interviewed at a farmshow in Willmar, Minn.

Q: What’s the status of the upper

Minnesota River corridor today?Patrick Moore: The science shows a

slight decrease in the amount of sedi-ment in the river; also a slightdecrease in the amount of phospho-rous. However nitrogen still remains aproblem.

Q: What are the identifiablesources of these nutrient prob-lems?

Moore: The science shows it’s a mixof several. Yes, agriculture is a contrib-utor but so, too, are communities, wastewater treatment facilities, storm sew-ers and natural background materials.

Q: Speaking from theagricultural landscape,what needs to be done?

Moore: We need to con-tinue to work together —meaning farmers, landowners, government agen-cies, conservation groups,recreational users plusbusinesses that depend onclean water. It’s a discussion thatneeds to center on how to best spendthe money that we as taxpayers haveassessed ourselves to address thisproblem. We now have monitoring

data that shows where some of the“hot spots” of sediments, nutrientsand bacteria are problems.Through Best Management Prac-tices we know how to correct theseissues. We need to incentivize peo-ple and BMPs in these “hot spot”areas.

Q: And how will this happen?Moore: It’s going to be volun-

tary; a cultural shift in the minds ofthe people that this is important andneeds to be done. There’s no “one size

Moore: We must protect state’s ‘greatest wildlife area’


The Minnesota Riverflows more than 335miles from its sourcenear the Minnesota-South Dakota border toits confluence with theMississippi River atMinneapolis/St. Paul.The Minnesota River Basin encompassesroughly 15,000 square miles and con-tains all or parts of 37 Minnesota coun-ties.The river drains nearly 20 percent ofthe Minnesota landscape.

Approximately 31 million acres of farm-land nationwide are enrolled in the Con-servation Reserve Program. Minnesotaranks seventh in the nation with1,636,094 acres involving 63,180 contractsin effect on 33,158 Minnesota farms. Thisyear some 300,000 acres now set asidethrough the CRP will be up for grabs asfederal contracts come up for renewal.Andtherein lays the rub. Will CRP paymentsbe able to compete with cash corn?

Steve Taff, University of Minnesotaeconomist, indicated that as globaldemand for food, meat and energyrises, society increasingly values cornand other crops over clean water. “Weare not willing to pay that much forreduced water pollution,” he said.

But perhaps it’s not a fair equation.Warren Formo, Executive Director of theMinnesota Agricultural Water ResourceCenter, suggested instead that agricul-ture can and will continue to expand pro-duction capabilities without a negativeimpact on water quality; in fact, perhapseven improving the overall environmentof the Minnesota agricultural landscape.

“It simply boils down to how can we putthese acres to work growing food with theleast impact,” said Formo. “I don’t take it

as a foregone conclusion that taking landout of CRP and growing corn is a nega-tive. We have several proven practicesthat farmers are already implementingthat are virtually eliminating nutrientloss into our farm drainage systems.”

For example he credits pattern tilingwith blind surface intakes as a signifi-cant improvement over the open intakesystem of earlier drainage. “In oldersystems those open inlets did act as aconduit of sediments. But a properlydesigned pattern system creates theeffect of a sponge. Excess soil moisturediffuses through entire field arearather than surface running to thenearest open intake,” said Formo.

This sponge effect allowing the soil tofilter more water and soil by itself is agreat filtering system. He also pointedout that by creating a healthier rootzone early in that corn plants life youcreated a bigger crop potential on asmaller area. His point being that suc-cessful drainage systems definitely per-mit more production on fewer acres.“Without proper drainage systems, we’dhave to double crop acres eventually tomeet expanding food needs worldwide.”

By drainage and managing the soilwater table to establish a good root zoneearly in the season, he contends farmersalso grow healthier crops. He said that ahealthy corn plant with a vigorous rootsystem equates to more transpirationwhich directly relates to more efficientuse of moisture by that plant.

Formo said that there aren’t manage-ment tricks to avoid water runoff frombig rains and huge thunderstorm events.Comparing tiled fields to non-tiled fields,however, he noted that you will see lesserosion on the tile drained fields.

MOORE, from pg. 17Afits all” recipe but it all needs to startwith local people getting involvedwith their local watershed districts,their local SWCDs, and jointly comingto the table to make decisions. It’s amatter of democracy meets waterquality!

Q: Elaborate a bit on Best Man-agement Practices.

Moore: There’s been over $1 billionspent on waste water treatmentupgrades in the Minnesota Riverbasin alone over the past 20 years.Many of the point sources of phospho-rous pollution into the river havebeen addressed and drasticallyreduced. Now the question comesdown to those non-point sources ofriver contamination. Communitiescan do much to reduce their stormwater issues with rain gardens andother technologies. With farmers con-servation tillage, blind tile intakes,temporary retention ponds for exces-sive storm water, buffer strips, evenmore grass-spaced water ways arecleaning up the river.

Q: What might this means forfish and wildlife in the MinnesotaRiver corridor?

Moore: Thanks to the implementa-tion of the Conservation ReserveEnhancement Program and other con-servation efforts by farmers of theupper corridor watershed basin, therehas been a tremendously positiveimpact on the development of the nat-ural ecosystem. People who have beenfishing the Minnesota River for 30years say that fishing the past coupleof years is the best they’ve ever seen!We’re talking walleye, catfish, bassand Northerns.

Hunting is better; so too is bird andother wildlife. The top of the food chainis doing well in the upper MinnesotaRiver corridor. When you see an eagle’snest every 7 miles along the river youknow the rest of the ecosystem is doingpretty good. There’s even cougar com-ing back into the river. We really havecreated a world-class wildlife systemfrom Ortonville to the Watson areaand on downstream.

Q: What is the Tatanka Bluff Cor-ridor effort all about?

Moore: This is a collaborationbetween the 26 communities of Red-wood and Renville counties plus theDepartment of Natural Resources,local economic development groups,land owners, recreational interests andother to create an expanded outdoorrecreation area attracting touristsfrom everywhere. Tatanka Bluffs hasbeen a leader in pointing out “Hey,there’s something really special here inthe wild and scenic river portionbetween New Ulm and Granite Falls.”

Whether it be canoeing the river,fishing, horseback riding, hiking andbiking, bird watching, walkingamongst centuries-old granite outcrop-pings, retracing some Indian history,or simply enjoying the quiet beauty ofthe several county parks along theMinnesota River in this region, it trulyis a uniquely beautiful area.

It is the intent of the Tatanka BluffCorridor group to raise funds toupgrade some camping areas, and topurchase some key segments along theriver to establish a “green corridorimpact” for this area. Development ofan environmentally protected all-ter-

rain vehicle park is also on theiragenda.

Q: What is CURE’s ongoing ambi-tion?

Moore: Continued upgrading of thewater quality of the entire MinnesotaRiver watershed, and that simplymeans continued discussion amongstall the concerned groups. After 20years of this effort we clearly under-stand that results and progress hap-pens when you have everyone at thetable, i.e. the environmentalists, thefarmers, the government, the recre-ational users, the county commission-ers, even the taxpayers from the cities.

We need to talk, and we need to talkin a way that’s respectful. Incrementalsteps together are what makes thingshappen in a positive fashion. Theunderlying question for all of us: Howdo we grow more food without makingthe water dirty?

The mission of CURE is to focus pub-lic awareness on the Upper MinnesotaRiver Watershed and to take action torestore and protect its water quality,biological integrity and natural beautyfor all generations. For more informa-tion, log on to www.cureriver.org or e-mail Moore at [email protected]. ❖

Is pattern tiling a culprit inwater turbidity? Though oftenjudged as guilty, the realitymay be just the opposite.

In fact, thanks to extensivepattern tiling and the elimina-tion of surface intakes in theMinnesota landscape, drainagewater today is often cleaner andcooler resulting in new fish popula-tions in portions of the MinnesotaRiver and many of its tributaries.

So is better fishing in this massivewatershed happening because of bet-ter farming? Indeed so, according toSteve Commerford.

“Water draining through a pattern-tiled field is considerably cooler thanksto cooler soil temperatures in thedeeper soil profile,” said the New Ulm,Minn., soil scientist/land use consult-ant. “Also soil is an excellent filter. Inessence all sediments that potentiallycould create turbidity are filtered outas this water seeps down to the tilelines beneath the soil surface.

“The net result is clear, cool watermuch like you get in mountain streamssupporting trout fisheries in the BigHorns and the Rockies. In manyrespects our tile systems are the equiv-alent of a spring-fed discharge into ourstreams and tributaries. And that iswhy trout are showing up as part of the‘sport fishing’ scenario on the Min-nesota River and its tributaries.”

He noted that Seven-Mile Creeknorth of Mankato has become a troutstream. John’s Creek west of New Ulmencompasses a small watershed area.However it, too, is a naturally repro-ducing Brown Trout tributary nour-ished partly by cooler naturally occur-

ring springs that feed into thetributary.Eliminate intakes withpattern tiling

Arguably, after sudden sub-stantial rains, surface intakesin row crop farming generatesediment runoff including soilparticles, some phosphorus,perhaps nitrates, too. How-ever with the rapid increase

in pattern tiling across the Minnesotafarming landscape, sometimes noweven at 25-foot intervals, could Min-nesota farmers do without surfaceintakes?

Soils types are obviously a factor, butCommerford said, “Yes, with patterntiling in silty/clay loam soils, most tilesurface intakes could be eliminated. Ithink close to 90 percent of present tileintakes could be removed if patterntile was put into those fields.”

He speaks from over 20 years experi-ence advising farmers on croppingstrategies and drainage systems thatoptimize the productivity of eachsquare foot of soil. Commerford noted anatural hesitancy in the mind of manyfarmers simply because of their localweather history. When a sudden four-inch deluge hits your fields, “surfaceintakes to the rescue!” However he saidhe has personally observed fields withpattern tiling handling four-inch down-pours with zero ponding.

“I think pattern tile in combinationwith some blind intakes could elimi-nate all surface intakes,” said Com-merford, noting that most farmers findintakes a nuisance, anyway — they’remiserable to farm around, especiallyas equipment gets bigger.

His concern in the development ofTotal Maximum Daily Loads for vari-

ous streams and rivers in southernMinnesota is whether the variousagencies and organizations drivingthese potential new standards clearlyunderstand the naturally occurringecology of the Minnesota landscape.

“When you compare today’s corn/soy-bean ecosystem with the prairie sys-tem of earlier generations, today’sagriculture delivers much lower solu-ble phosphorous quantities; even lessthan the forest ecosystem,” he said,adding that some soil scientists saythe Minnesota River is “cleaner” todaythan when the pioneers discoveredMinnesota.

“When the first settlers came up theMinnesota River my great grandfatherused to joke that the water in the river

was too thick for good coffee and toothin to plow,” recalled John Jacobs, aveteran tiler out of Bird Island,Minn., who has installed patterntiling systems on many area farms.

Citing the Chesapeake Bayapproach with a “zero” point of refer-ence infers that agriculture is totallyresponsible for everything that flowsoff their land. “That’s nonsensebecause regardless of your best man-agement practices, you can’t controleverything happening over and onthat massive land area,” said Com-merford. Humus, sediments, organicmaterials are always a factor, evenwithout the presence of people. “We’regoing to have impaired waters from

TILING, from pg. 19Athe natural contributions of the ecology we live in.”

He contends that if the natural background levels areabove the proposed TDML standards, than the stan-dards are incorrect and need to be adjusted accord-ingly.“We need to identify the impacts on water quality,the sources of that impact, and then quantify that par-ticular impact,” Commerford said. “Without this infor-mation how are we as a society going to fix it?”

Can agriculture be part of that fix with Best Man-agement Practices? Farmers by their nature

already know their soils, their fields and continuallyare managing in the most optimal way. Commerfordsaid most Minnesota farmland is already being man-aged in a way which optimizes production per squarefoot of farmland.

“When farmers optimize their nutrient manage-ment and their soil management they automaticallyare also maximizing water use efficiency,” he said.“Invariably when you increase productivity, youincrease both water and nutrient efficiency and thatsimply means less runoff, fewer sediments of any kindinto the drainage waters of the Minnesota River.”

The flip side, poorly managed usage of water andfertility, means higher nutrient delivery into thedrainage system.Good drainage, better water usage

Sometimes arithmetic tells the better story. Com-merford indicated good tile drainage increases theefficiency of water usage off that landscape signifi-cantly. In essence, intensive row-crop agriculturedevelops a high evapotranspiration. He indicatedthat throughout the Minnesota River system runoffaverages 5 inches per acre per year. Trim that by 2 to3 inches yearly with better drainage systems whichpermit more intensive agriculture, helps mitigateflooding issues, stream bank erosion and surface ero-sion of cropland.

He also pointed out that about two-thirds of nitro-gen usage in the agricultural area of Minnesotacomes from naturally occurring mineralization oforganic matter in the soil profile, which producesabout 100 pounds of nitrogen per acre per year. Hispoint being that careless use of nitrogen fertilizer issimply not a contributing factor to nitrate content.

Is Minnesota in the “water quality spotlight”because it’s the headwater of the Mississippi Riversystem and home to 10,000-plus lakes?

“Sure, you can’t deny that location of our state andthe fact that we have extra water relative to totalwater usage is a factor in our high profile on waterquality. Water moves out of Minnesota in all direc-tions,” said Commerford, also noting that the Min-nesota fishing industry is a major factor.

“Fisheries in Minnesota to a large extent drive theMinnesota tourist industry and tourism is the fifth-largest revenue source. People come to Minnesota tofish and enjoy the surface waters,” he said. “There-fore maintaining our water quality so that it is com-patible with fisheries is a huge ambition in Min-nesota. I like to fish. And I contend that the waterquality delivered off an acre of Minnesota farmlandtoday is extremely compatible with good fisheries.

“It has low nutrient enrichment. It has good clarityand it’s very good for fisheries. Let people know thatagriculture and fisheries go hand in hand in Min-nesota.” ❖

Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Fish-eries Supervisor Jack Lauer questions if tiling can,in fact, improve the water quality of rivers andstreams. But he also congratulates farmers for sig-nificantly better efforts in improving drainage andconservation tillage.

“I’m not trying to trash tiling,” said Lauer. “It’s anecessary and vital part of innovative crop produc-tion in our Minnesota landscape. I very much under-stand the economic importance of maximizing pro-duction on each acre.”

He said ravines can get quickly overloaded withany rainstorm because of the rapid discharge of con-

siderably more water. “They get blown apart and areexasperated after these rain events. That’s where alot of the sedimentation is coming from today,” henoted.

Lauer said the energy of water traveling throughthese tiles has an erosive power and it happens inpulses, depending upon the severity of any givenrain storm event.

He acknowledged that pattern tilling within an 80-acre field, for example, does create a “sponge effect”over those acres, at least until the soil reaches fullsaturation. “But once that 3 to 4 feet of soil profile issaturated, tiling just moves more water quicker

without holding it on the landscape. Yes, if this fieldwas not tiled, you’d likely have standing water.”

Lauer challenged the notion that properlyplanned tiling reduces erosion. “In fact, it mightexacerbate erosion depending upon the soils andthe geography,” he said.

“Also, I can admit that water running under-ground through a field tiling system is cooler thansurface water. But I don’t have any evidence thattiling is cooling ground water enough to generatetrout populations. I think most hydrologists andfish scientists would agree.”

Lauer said that across the southern Minnesotaagricultural area, farmers have almost maximizedthe per-square-foot productivity of their fields.When asked about improvements in MinnesotaRiver, he said diminished rainfall this spring haslessened the sediment loads. But he also said thehuge increase in tiling over the past 10 years is sim-ply moving greater quantities of water into the Min-nesota River basin much quicker, and that is theongoing source of turbidity.

“When our forefathers broke up the prairie 80 to100 years back there was little regard for conserva-tion,” said Lauer. “The landscape got scarredseverely with lots of erosion, lots of dirty water theend result. And to farm this new horizon with cornand tilled crops, there was a need for more ditching.

“That has significantly subsided. The major dam-age to the landscape has been done. Now we’re justtalking about getting water off the landscape.” ❖

Lauer: Even good tiling can exacerbate erosion

Steve Commerford’s key reasons why tiling isimportant:

• Tiling improves water quality. Tiling allowswater to infiltrate the soil taking advantages of thesoils natural filtering powers before it is dischargedinto steams.

• Tiling improves water quality. Tile water islike spring water. Naturally reproducing troutstreams can now be found within the MinnesotaRiver Basin. Trout need cool high quality water. Thetile water feeding these trout streams is both.

• Tiling improves water quality. Methyl Mer-cury is the most severe water quality impairment inMinnesota. Methyl Mercury is produced in wetlandsand river and stream sediments. However the natu-rally occurring nitrates found in tile water dramati-cally inhibit the production of methyl mercury.

• Tiling reduces erosion. When farmland is

untiled and saturated, rainwater is forced to run off,carrying soil with it. Research shows about a 50 per-cent reduction in erosion from tiled land.

• Tiling reduces erosion. Tiling allows reducedand no-till farming practices on land that would oth-erwise likely need moldboard plowing in order tomaintain production.

• Tiling reduces flooding. If land is tiled, thewater table is normally lowered 3 or 4 feet. Soil canthan hold a huge amount of water when a raincomes. Studies show a 15 to 30 percent reduction inpeak flows off tiled land.

• Tiling reduces water flow. Higher yieldingcrops use more water, so less water flows from thefarm fields.

• Tiling improves ag productivity. Tiling rou-tinely increases corn and soybean yields 15 to 20 per-cent immediately. ❖

Is it time to say goodbye to surface inlets? Perhapsthe question is better answered by first explainingthat there is much less sediment runoff into surfaceinlets than most people assume.

John Moncrief, with the Department of Soil,Water and Climate at the University of Minnesota,St. Paul, explained that when heavy rains produceponding lasting six hours or more, about 80 percentof the particulates settle out. To get at the remain-ing 20 percent, converting that surface inlet to agravel intake essentially eliminates all sedimentsfrom getting into the tile system.

So can proper pattern tiling over the farminglandscape significantly “clean up” our rivers andstreams?

“Pattern tiling creates little turbidity to Min-nesota rivers. Yes, surface runoff into open inlets isa source, but that too is a small portion of the totalwater quality issue,” said Moncrief. He said that abigger source of turbidity is the sloughing off ofstream banks, naturally occurring events triggeredby the high water levels of the more intense rain-falls now occurring.

Can you make a case that tiling produces bothcleaner water and cooler water? And that is whyfishing is improving in the Minnesota River sys-tem?

Different fish need different levels of oxygennoted Moncrief, adding that the solubility of oxygen

in water is a direct func-tion of temperature.Trout, for example, need 8percent levels of dissolvedoxygen and cool water.

“That’s why the firstfish to die off in summerheat are trout. But othergame fish can survive inwarmer waters becausethe dissolved oxygen levels are lower. So if you cankeep water cooler it does help fish habitat. Andwater discharging from a pattern tiled system is def-initely cooler than surface runoff into open inlets.”

Moncrief said pattern tiled fields do, in fact, reducecontaminants into rivers and streams, and systemtiling entire fields is an economic necessity for south-ern Minnesota agriculture because of the escalatingcosts of crop production. He questions that increasedtiling is the “culprit” behind increased stream bankerosion.

“The only water that flows through tile is the waterbetween field capacity and saturation,” said Mon-crief. “And thanks to tiling, there is much more stor-age capacity in the soil to handle future rains. Thatis why good tiling systems incrementally cut downon flooding occurrences.”

Roots need oxygen for respiration. Get saturatedsoil conditions for 24 hours or more and you havedone substantial damage to your crops.

“In simple terms,” he said, “the quicker you get the

water off these areas, thequicker you get oxygen tothe roots. Deeper rootsgreatly increase the effi-ciency of water usage. So tothe extent that betterdrainage generates betterroot growth, you have giventhat crop an opportunity tobe more efficient is moisture

utilization. Also better-drained seed beds warm upfaster and that can be an important benefit whenstarting the season in the dryer soil profile of 2012.”

Added Minnesota Agricultural Water ResourceCenter executive director Warren Formo, “The fishrecovery in the Minnesota River is largely related tothe tremendous upgrades of waste water treatmentfacilities in communities that border the river. A gen-eration ago the big stressor of fish in the MinnesotaRiver was inadequately treated waste water.

“Today we’re removing much of the phosphorous,we’re converting ammonia into nitrate which ismuch less toxic to fish, and that’s why the recovery offish species, even trout.

“What has agriculture done? Long-term data (fromMinnesota State University, Mankato) shows sedi-ment levels in the Minnesota River are trendingdown. That’s especially significant in view of the past20 years with higher rainfall patterns and moretotal water discharged into the river. This tells methat farmers are initiating better management oftheir crop land including the idling of sensitive areaswith buffer strips, CRP acres and pattern tiling

A natural shoreline is a healthy shoreline, benefit-ing the water quality of lakes and streams, the sur-rounding wildlife, and the people who live on or nearyour lakeshore property.

1. Make a sketch of your property, including build-ings, decks or patios, lawn, trees, paths, dock, and swimarea.Think of how you use the land now and how you’dlike to use it in the future. Would it make sense to relo-cate your dock or reduce the size of your beach? Drawin the area you’d like to naturalize; aim to naturalizeat least one-half of your shoreline frontage.

2. Identify the three shoreland zones within yourproposed naturalization area: the aquatic, which isall under water; the wet meadow, which may be sea-sonally flooded or near the water table; and theupland zone, which is rarely flooded.

3. Prepare the site. If you have invasive plants,such as purple loosestrife or reed canarygrass, youmay need the advice of a natural resource profes-sional to help you get rid of them. You may also needto move a dock, realign a path, or grade slopes. If youexpose or move soil near your shoreline, be sure tosecure required permits and take action to preventerosion and transport of soil to the water.

4. Finally, get native plants established. You canjust stop mowing and clearing your shoreland, orplant appropriate plants for your area. A list is avail-able at www.sustland.umn.edu/design/water4.html.

Naturalize your shorelineMODERN, from pg. 22Adrainage systems.”

Formo cautioned that people are set-ting up a “false choice” if they acceptthe notion that the link between cornproduction and water quality is a“either-or” assumption. He stated thatincreasing crop production is a given,so that trend needs to be directed in theleast impactful way. “I don’t take it as aforegone conclusion that taking land out of CRP andgrowing corn is a negative,” he said.

His thoughts on the tremendous increase in pat-tern tiling across the agricultural landscape? “Thisis a significant improvement over the surface runoffand open intake drainage systems of the past,” saidFormo. “Sure, some open intake drainage systemswere conduits discharging sediments into thedrainage basin. However, pattern tiling todaymostly eliminates open inlets and gets the entiresoil profile acting as a sponge.

“We win two ways: 1) The total soil mass is now fil-tering the water and soil is a great filter, and 2) Bycreating a healthier root mass earlier in the grow-ing season we create a bigger crop on a smallerarea. Plus the added transpiration of these health-ier crops significantly improves the efficiency ofwater. And that simply means less runoff.”

Sleepy Eye, Minn., corn and hog producer DeanSchneider, with sons Ross and Jeff, also does somecustom tiling. Schneider said farmers are doing abetter job of land management, especially when itcomes to drainage. “System tiling is now very com-mon. It makes the top 3 to 4 feet of that entire fieldact like a sponge so when a big rain does come, itsoaks into the total soil profile rather than run offthe top. Also system tiling forces roots to growdeeper and that means a healthier corn plant with

bigger yield potential.“Soil is a natural filter so pattern tiling is result-

ing in cleaner water into our streams. And definitelythat water coming off a system tiled landscape iscooler, too. Water running 3- to 5-feet deep in the soilgets cooled down quite a bit. Used to be that youwould maybe have 4 or 5 surface inlets for an entire80 acres. Now with system tiling that entire 80-acrefield acts like a sponge.

“Very rarely do we put in surface intakes any-more. Last year I think we installed just one surfaceintake. On one particular field we closed up 4intakes when plowing in a new system with tilelines spaced 50 feet. Our goal is to get entirely awayfrom surface intakes, even if that means tile laidevery 20 feet.”

Critics of farmland tiling simply don’t know thatthey’re talking about, contends Jeff Schneider. “Oursystem tiling today puts far less shock on a drainagesystem than when you relied on just one to two sur-face intakes to drain a 40-acre field.” ❖

Enrolled in the ConservationStewardship Program in 2009, Sib-ley County, Minn., farmers DarrelMosel, wife Diane, and sonsChristopher and Michael, are nowstarting their third year in theCSP on their 600-acre diversifiedcrop and dairy operation.

Testifying before the U.S. Senate agriculturalcommittee in January, Mosel said, “I urge membersof this committee to maintain a strong funding basefor the Conservation Stewardship Program. Thepressures in agriculture are immense, and I’m con-cerned that we are losing a diversity of crops andfarms that are good for rural communities, the envi-ronment and our economy. The CSP helps maintaindiversity on the land.”

Mosel is a Land Stewardship Project member. Hisoperation is both organic and conventional.Through the CSP he receives around $15,000 a yearfor five years to manage existing conservationmeasures, and to add new stewardship practices.Already contour strips and multiple crops are in the

mix.“We’re signed up for a number of practices,” he

said. “Perhaps most important is the rotating cropmixture and that works well with our organic farm-ing program.”

He’s already a 10-year organic farming veteranwith corn, soybeans, wheat, alfalfa and mixed hay.“The rules of organic production spell out the fre-quency of field rotationsof these various crops. Butweather events very muchdictate the pricing oforganics. Last year wehad lots of weather eventsacross the nation so rightnow the price of organiccorn is up significantly.Soybeans for human fooduse are well above theconventional market.”

That means at least a$10 “bonus” for soybeans;organic corn about double the price of conventionalcorn. He said a semi-load of corn going to a poultryproducer in southern Iowa got priced at $13 abushel.

The Mosels have about 35 cows in the milkingoperation with about 100 head of young stock; theprice on organic milk right now is “very good” atabout $30 per hundredweight.

Mosel said there is some yield drag with organicfarming, and extra effort is required, but theincrease in total revenue more than offsets produc-tion declines. The struggle with weeds, and also

lesser genetics in seedstock, are organic manage-ment issues that you just learn to live with.

The CSP payments start in October of the yearenrolled, which suggests that a farmer intending toget into the CSP likely will be spending money toinitiate certain practices before that first Octoberpayment is issued. The program is administered bythe county Natural Resources Conservation Service.

“They provide the tech-nical advice in regards tothe particular enhance-ments you might pick. I’vehad very good assistance,”Mosel said. “For example,I have one field withsteeper slopes and wantedto get that into contourstrips. My NRCS guycame out and measuredthose strips. I have a 12-row planter which fitsperfectly.

“The EQIP (Environmental Quality Incentive Pro-gram) dollars are there at the beginning to help youget through that transition learning period. Forexample, headlands on contour strips have to begrass, which takes some time, so those acres aren’tgenerating much income. EQIP tries to offset thatthe first three years; after that the CSP paymentskick in.”

Mosel is into GPS guidance and finds it helpful inall operations, especially on the field with contourstrips. He has closed off all his field surface intakesbecause he said studies verify surface intakes arethe source of most sediments into streams andrivers. He replaced the surface intakes with what hecalls “blind intakes,” often crushed rock laid under-

CSP, from pg. 24Aground with perforated tile placed over the rock andthen covered with soil.

“It still acts pretty much as a normal tile line withgreater infiltration in that lowest part of the basin.You can mostly farm over these but you shouldn’ttill over them because they may only be 12 inches to18 inches deep,” he said.

Those contour strips were positive revenue gener-ators in 2011 when the crop season turned drasti-cally dry after mid-July. “We didn’t lose very muchof those spring rains,” he said. “Soils held more ofthe moisture. Those upper strips stayed muchgreener than normally without the contour strips.”

Mosel’s CSP agreement includes an agreement todo no moldboard plowing. Instead he uses a chiselplow which leaves a high surface residue. Lastspring’s excessive rains were achallenge, but Mosel figures it wasa challenge for all farmers,regardless of tillage. His acres cutfor corn silage get just a lightdisking.

His one additional enhance-ment? The use of GPS maps toverify he doesn’t double-spray anyportion of any field. This means allspray valves are programmed into hisonboard computer. If there are pointrows, or any instance which would lead to doublespraying, the computer automatically shuts off thatparticular sprayer valve.

Set to go this spring, his “Raven Controlled”sprayer will have five different zones continuouslyreading when, and when not, to be spraying as thefield is covered.

Already with shelterbelts planted around thefarmstead, Mosel hopes to further improve them thisseason. New trees — hardwood deciduous includingoak, maple, linden and walnut, plus some conifersand high bush cranberry — incorporated into theirgreen ash shelterbelt is their process since the ashborer disease will likely decimate the existing treeline eventually.

So why don’t a whole lot more farmers get into the CSP? “For me it was a tough decision, taking me over

five years to finally decide,” said Mosel. “And theargument was what if corn really takes off and we’re

seeing $8 or $10 corn. And I’m sitting here lockedinto a rotation when continuous corn would likely begenerating lots more revenue. But I’ve got a degree

in economics (from Augsburg College)and have learned that generally what

goes up, also comes down.“Without the Conservation

Stewardship Program, it mayhave been more profitable thelast couples years to plant myentire farm into one crop, likecontinuous corn. But with theprogram I was able to maintaina four-crop rotation, whichhelps reduce erosion and is

good for the land.”He told the Senate ag committee, “the temptation

is there to just forgo conservation, but CSP helps andin the long run I think it is better for us all.”

In addition to the Land Stewardship Project, Moselis active in numerous farm and civic organizationsincluding the Minnesota Farmers Union, MinnesotaCorn Growers, Sertoma, the Gaylord Lake Associa-tion and the Gaylord United Church of Christ. Healso served a term in the Minnesota House of Repre-sentatives (1993-95).

CSP is offered in all states through a continuoussign-up. According to U.S. Department of Agriculturedata, 2,342 CSP contracts involving almost 1.5 mil-lion acres have been enrolled in Minnesota since2009. The average Minnesota agriculture land con-tract in 2011 was $25,651 over a five-year period.

Iowa farmers contracted 368,585 acres for fiscalyear 2011, with a total obligation of $10.6 million.

It may sound a bit strange on firstreading, but negatively charged ionsmay soon be clearing the air of dustand other harmful emissions such asammonia and hydrogen sulfide fromhog and poultry facilities across NorthAmerica and northern Europe. Elec-trostatic particle ionization is thebuzzword for this environmental tech-nology breakthrough.

Explained Matt Baumgartner, generalmanager of Baumgartner EnvironicsInc., the Minnesota firm that developed,patented and now markets EPI system,“This technology works by emitting neg-ative ions which capture and hold parti-cles onto interior surfaces. Net result isventilation enhancement that results infaster gain and less mortality.”

With “hands-on” displays at the twomost recent Pork Congress expos andnumerous state swine producer confer-ences, BEI was generating high inter-est in this technology for cleaner air.But does it work?

Murphy-Brown LLC, the world’slargest pork producer, installed EPIunits in two, 2,000-head productionnurseries, and compared it against two2,000-head control nurseries for a testrun of five turns. That meant a testrun of approximately 44,000 nurserypigs. The results:

• Average daily gain increased 12.2percent

• Average weights increased by 9.3percent

• Mortalities were reduced by 26.1percent

Commented Bob Coffelt, businessdevelopment manager, Murphy-BrownWestern Operations, “When we firstlooked at this the system appeared tobe fairly unorthodox. But the resultstell the story. Pigs simply do better.

“This convinced us fairly quickly thatthis appears to be an innovation wellworth our time and investment. I com-mend the BEI people in their commit-ment to this new approach to an environ-mental challenge. Their work has beenalmost miraculous in getting this tech-nology developed. We’re looking forwardto future progress in the overall improve-ments in our production systems.”

Low maintenance and the unobtru-siveness of these EPI systems is anadditional value point noted Coffelt. “Ittends to challenge one’s concept of theimprobable values of dust suspensionand odor issues.”

Added Steve Pollmann, President,Murphy-Brown Western Operations,“This is a significant step change inenvironmental systems. We’re excited.The science is sound. Even thoughunderstanding the technology is achallenge, the take-away is that EPI inour test runs provided documentedevidence of the potential benefit.”

John Baumgartner, BEI President,indicated a driving factor in their four-year development of EPI technologywas the ongoing health and perform-ance challenges swine producers werefacing. Baumgartner Environics is anenvironmental solutions company spe-

cializing in environmental issues ofthe livestock industry.

“We think EPI technology is on thethreshold of becoming the next ‘must-have’ production improvement technol-ogy,” he said. “Improved performance iskey to a sustainable swine industry.EPI is cost effective, with a verified pay-back within 18 months of installation.”

Speaking at recent American Asso-ciation of Swine Veterinarians in Den-ver, Chris Rademacher, Director ofProduction Improvement, Murphy-Brown Western Operations, sharedthe following data:

• There was a cost reduction of$1,783 per each group of 2,000 pigs inthe EPI system

• Payback period for the EPI systemwas 33 weeks

Murphy-Brown is going “system-wide” throughout their entire West-ern Division with EPI units installedin 655,000-plus nursery spaces and864,000-plus wean-to-finish spaces.

Installation costs for an EPI systemfor a 2,000-head nursery would beapproximately $500 per 60x100-footroom. EPI is marketing the systemwith a five-year warranty availableon the power supply. All other criticalcomponents are fabricated from plas-tic or stainless steel so corrosion lossis minimal. A single EPI unit draws100 watts or 2,400 watts per 24-hourday. With 10-cent electricity, costswould be 24 cents per day. ❖

Drivers will save $68 billion in fuelcosts when the Obama administra-tion’s 54.5 miles-per-gallon standard isfully implemented in 2030, accordingto a report released today by the Nat-ural Resources Defense Council.

The 54.5 mpg by 2025 standard, setto be finalized in August, will doubletoday’s average level of fuel efficiency.This will save individual drivers $4400over the life of the vehicle, after consid-ering the cost of the fuel saving tech-nologies. NRDC quantified savings inall states in 2030, giving the more effi-cient vehicles a chance to penetratethe roadways.

The top 20 states where driverswould save the most from the 54.5 mpg

fuel efficiency standards are listed atthe bottom of this release.

The NRDC analysis also found thereare 57 fuel-efficient models availablein showrooms today, rising from 27models in 2009. Automakers haveintroduced a plethora of fuel-savingfeatures in some of the more popular,conventional gas-powered cars as aresult of the 35.5 mpg standard. Thisgives consumers fuel-saving vehicleoptions in addition to buying a hybridor electric vehicle.

The report can be found online atwww.nrdc.org/energy/relievingpainatthe pump.asp. More details about thereport are at http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/ltonachel. ❖

Report: Big fuel savings with new standard

The nation’s benchmarkfarm milk price took abreather following fourmonths of decline. The U.S.Department of Agricultureannounced the April Federalorder Class III price at$15.72 per hundredweight,unchanged from March, but$1.15 below April 2011,$2.29 above California’s com-parable 4b cheese milk price,and equates to about $1.35per gallon. That put the 2012Class III average at $16.14, down from$16.69 at this time a year ago, and com-pares to $13.62 in 2010 and meager$10.33 in 2009. The April Class IV priceis $14.80, down 55 cents from Marchand $4.98 below a year ago.

Class III futures portend furtherdeclines in May and June and weretrading late Friday morning as follows:May, $15.06; June, $14.19; July, $14.27;August, $14.73; September, $15.33;October, $15.45; November, $15.60; andDecember at $15.39/cwt.

The Agricultural Marketing Service-surveyed cheese price averaged$1.5361 per pound, up 1.1 cent fromMarch. Butter averaged $1.4634, up 2.9cents. Nonfat dry milk averaged$1.2514, down 8 cents, and dry wheyaveraged 59.21 cents, down 1.9 cents.

The California Department of Foodand Agriculture announced its April 4bcheese milk price at $13.43/cwt., down24 cents from March, 91 cents belowApril 2011 and as stated above wellbelow the FO Class III. Taking a quicklook back, it has lagged the Class IIIfrom as little as 8 cents in February2011 to as much as $3.63 in December2011. The 4b 2012 average now standsat $13.69, down from $15.13 at this timea year ago, but above the $12.28 in 2010.

The 4a butter-powder price is $14.72,down 61 cents from March, the eighthconsecutive month of decline, and $4.73below a year ago. The 4a average nowstands at $15.44, down from $18.22 ayear ago but up from $13.23 in 2010.

Meanwhile; California’sFarmdale Creamery hasproposed a “new” but oldalternative for considerationwhen a hearing is held onthe state’s 4b milk pricingformula, May 31-June 1.Headquartered in SanBernardino, Farmdale saidthe value of whey used indetermining the price farm-ers receive for milkprocessed into cheese shouldgo back to 25 cents/cwt., as

it was prior to adjustments made onSept. 1, 2011. Details are posted atCDFA’s website.

The cash dairy markets don’t portendmuch hope. The Chicago MercantileExchange block cheese price finishedthe first week of May at $1.5350 perpound, unchanged on the week but11.25 cents below a year ago. The bar-rels gained almost 7 cents to correctthe spread with the blocks but gavesome of it back and closed Friday at$1.47, up 3.5 cents on the week but 19cents below a year ago and still 6.5cents below the blocks. Eight cars ofblock and 14 of barrel found newhomes on the week. The lagging AMS-surveyed block price averaged $1.5030,down 0.2 cent. The barrels averaged$1.4904, down 1.3 cents.

Cheese production across the countryis robust. Milk supplies are up andmuch of that production is finding itsway to cheese plants. Excess milk vol-umes are often being discounted toencourage additional cheese manufac-turing. Cheese inventories are buildingand this was reflected in the MarchCold Storage data.

Cash butter fell for the sixth consecu-tive week and is now at the lowest levelsince February 2010, closing May 4 at$1.31, down a nickel on the week and78.5 cents below a year ago. Thirteencars traded hands on the week. AMS

MIELKE, from pg. 28Abutter averaged $1.4268, down 1.3cents. AMS Nonfat dry milk averaged$1.2180, down 2.4 cents, and dry wheyaveraged 57.13 cents, down 2 cents.

Churning schedules remain season-ally strong as cream supplies are read-ily available, according to USDA. Inmost instances, churning was surpass-ing demand, thus clearances to inven-tory are strong. Butter producers andhandlers indicate that buying interestis fair at best with most buyers cau-tious and procuring near term needs.

Retailers state that butter featureactivity has slowed significantly sincethe recent Easter/Passover holidayperiod and overall butter demand istypical for this time of year. Food serv-ice buyers report fairly steady needs astraffic flow through restaurants isholding steady at fairly good levels.

■

Milk production showed signs of lev-eling off at or near the seasonal peak inthe Southeast and Mid-Atlanticregions. Arizona had marginally lowerproduction, caused by recent heat. Cali-fornia production was uneven; Floridawas steady with the rest of the nationshowing various degrees of increasedmilk production. Coops in the PacificNorthwest are warning dairy produc-ers of possible penalties, like thoseimposed in California, for excess milkabove their established bases.

Processors across the nation are oper-ating plants on extended schedules.The added volumes of finished dairyproducts are creating more suppliesthat are not readily clearing the mar-ket. Demand for cream from ice creamplants has registered only slightimprovement, according to USDA.

■

Milk production is strong the worldover. The European production seasonis off to a strong start. Some handlersproject peak output may only be 4weeks away. Preliminary reports indi-cate volume is running 2.5-3 percentahead of last year.

The Oceania milk production seasoncontinues to wind down but remainspositive. New Zealand milk output isprojected to be 9-10 percent ahead oflast season and Australia up around 4percent.

Speaking of the international mar-ket; FC Stone reported in its May 1 e-Dairy Insider Closing Bell that thisweek’s Global Dairy Trade prices weremixed, but the trade-weighted averageprice for all products fell 2.4 percent.

Anhydrous milkfat plunged 13.6 per-cent, to $1.2937 per pound, or $1.037per pound adjusted to 80 percent but-terfat equivalent. Milk protein concen-trate 70 prices dropped 11.7 percent to$1.8099/lb.

Other product prices that movedlower include rennet casein, down 0.5percent to $2.9008/lb; skim milk pow-der, off 4.6 percent to $1.2383/lb; andwhole milk powder, down 2.2 percent to$1.2592/lb. Only cheddar and lactoseprices moved higher: The average pricefor cheddar rose 3.1 percent to$1.3336/lb; and lactose advanced 3 per-cent to 91.45 cents/lb.

■

Back at home; increased milk produc-tion is being funneled to the churn andthe dryer. March butter productionamounted to 176 million pounds, up 3.9percent from February and 6.4 percentabove March 2011, according to USDA’slatest Dairy Products report. Nonfat drymilk output hit 188.6 million pounds, up9.7 percent from February and a whop-ping 49.9 percent above a year ago.

American cheese amounted to 382.3million pounds, up 9.9 percent from Feb-ruary and 4.1 percent above a year ago.Total cheese production hit 946.3 mil-lion pounds, up 10.3 percent from Feb-ruary and 3.7 percent above a year ago.

■

While there are signs the nation’seconomy may be improving, the situa-tion for U.S. dairy farmers appears tobe headed in the opposite direction,according to Dairy Profit Weekly editorDave Natzke in Friday’s DairyLine.

He was referring to the April 2012milk-feed price ratio in USDA’s latestAg Prices report. He said the ratio maybe the lowest in almost two decades,even below June 2009, “when we sawextremely low milk prices and dairyproducer income bottomed out, or moreaccurately, when economic losses werethe greatest.”

The index is based on the currentmilk price in relationship to feed pricesfor a ration of 51 percent corn, 8 per-cent soybeans and 41 percent alfalfahay. The higher hay and soybeanprices, combined with lower U.S. aver-age milk prices, sent the April milk-feed price ratio to 1.45, down from arevised estimate of 1.48 in March and1.81 in April. At $16.90 per cwt., theU.S. average milk price is the lowestsince January 2011, Natzke reported.

Corn prices averaged $6.14 perbushel in April, down 21 cents fromMarch, but soybean prices rose to

$13.80/bu., up 80 cents; and alfalfa hayprices rose $6 per ton to $207/ton.

Looking back into USDA NationalAgricultural Statistics Servicearchives, Natzke found milk-feed price

ratios frequently averaged 1.3 to 1.4in the early 1990s. However, in somecases those ratios were revised upsubstantially a couple years later.

MIELKE, from pg. 29AWith milk prices headed lower, so are the prices

dairy farmers are willing to pay for replacementcows, according to Natzke. USDA announced anApril average of $1,440 per head, down $20 from theprevious quarter. And, even though it’s up slightlyfrom a year ago, average replacement cow pricesremain about 30 percent below their peaks in 2007and 2008.

“There is some good news for dairy farmers whowant to sell cows for beef,” Natzke concluded. “TheApril average cull cow price reached a record high ofnearly $85 per hundred pounds. That’s up $6 from ayear ago, and puts the beef value of a cull cow atmore than $1,000.”

The Ag Prices report also established the MarchMilk Income Loss Contract payment to producers at82.62 cents/cwt. according to the University of Wis-consin’s Brian Gould, who expects MILC paymentsto top $1 into early fall.

Cooperatives Working Together accepted 13requests for export assistance this week to sell atotal of 866,417 pounds of cheese and 1.57 millionpounds of butter to customers in Africa, Asia, theMiddle East and South America. The product will bedelivered through July 2012 and raises CWT’s 2012cheese exports to 46.9 million pounds plus 40.8 mil-lion pounds of butter to 26 countries. On a butterfatbasis, the milk equivalent of these exports is 1.322billion pounds, or the same as the annual milk pro-duction of 62,950 cows.

In dairy politics; the Department of Labor with-drew its proposed rule restricting the work that chil-dren could do on farms. The DOL issued a statementindicating that the proposed rule would not be pur-sued “for the duration of the Obama administration,”according to a National Milk Producers Federationpress release.

The press release stated: “The National Milk Pro-ducers Federation is encouraged by the Depart-ment’s recognition that the path it was on with thisproposal was an affront to millions of family mem-bers on farms and ranches across America. Many ofthem had objected to what the Labor Departmentwas planning to do, and they voiced their concerns tothe DOL, as well as to Congress. The withdrawal ofthe proposal is a victory for common sense.”

The proposed child labor rule would have changedthe definition of the “parental exemption,” changedthe student learner exemption, and significantlyredefined what practices would be acceptable foryouth under the age of 16 to participate in. Instead,the DOL says it will “work with rural stakeholders todevelop education programs to reduce accidents toyoung workers and promote safer agricultural work-ing practices.”

Last fall’s dry harvest and carried over intothis spring’s planting season, giving Midwest

farmers one of the severest droughts on record.One thing that moisture deficit did was allow

farmers and the market to start thinking aboutgetting the 2012 growing season off to a jackrab-bit start. Many itchy farmer fingers were grip-ping tractor steering wheels to get the plantertouching soil as soon as the crop insurance startdate kicked in; some perhaps even sooner.

We were all praying for rain, yet we were look-ing forward to a good dry start. Well, we got thegood dry start. In Iowa, corn planting was 64percent completed, compared to 50 percent forthe week prior. That’s 12 percent ahead of lastyear’s planting progress. Twenty-three percent ofthe crop had emerged. In Minnesota 73 percent

of the corn crop had been planted, over 48 per-cent from the week before. Last year, 20 percenthad been planted. Twelve percent of the corncrop had emerged.

Had emerged may be the key phrase here.That rain that we all had been praying for

decided to finally come, in buckets.Obviously it remains to be seen what impact

the drought-buster will have on the corn thathad emerged and is now under water, as well asthe subterranean seeds.

The spring of 2012, as with every growing sea-son, will prove that weather comes and goes inall amounts and variety regardless what wethink we need. So just be careful what you askfor; you just might get it — and then some. ❖

Grain prices are effective cash close on May 7. 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 AnglesLace up your

boots; let’s marchThe spring rains that we have received this year

have certainly taken much of the fear of drought outof the market in corn and soybeans. Corn prices con-tinue to struggle, while the soy-bean market continues to attractmore acres to be planted. Thewinter wheat crop is starting tobe harvested in Oklahoma andyields look to be strong.

The profit margins on corn ver-sus soybeans are nearly identicalwhen looking at new crop projec-tions. The old crop corn supplycontinues to be rationed out asthe inverse between the May andJuly contract continues toadvance at a staggering rate.This is the type of market envi-ronment that can lull one into complacency.

When looking up complacency in the dictionary,you find that it is an adjective that means: self-sat-isfied and unaware of possible dangers. The the-saurus gives us synonyms such as: smugness, grati-fication, self-righteousness and anxiety. Thesesynonyms indicate a wide range of emotionalresponse and seem to explain our reactions to thecurrent market environment. How do we managemargins in such an environment?

We are now entering into a market environmentthat will test the very best of managers. Do we sellnow that margins have tightened up, or should wewait until harvest, like we should have done the lasttwo years? Many people that I have interviewedover the last month have indicated that they havesold little new crop corn and a few more soybeans.

Grain OutlookRecord cash basis

for spot deliveryEditor’s Note: Tim Emslie, Country Hedging mar-

ket analyst, is sitting in this week for Phyllis Nys-trom, the regular “Grain Outlook” columnist.

■

The following market analysisis for the week ending May 4.

CORN — Old-crop corn contin-ued to distinguish itself as a sep-arate commodity from the new-crop contract during the week.The May contract, which is in thedelivery period, gained 9.25 cents,the July contract was down 5.25cents, and the December contractfell 14.5 cents, hitting the lowestlevel since March 2011.

Cash basis for spot delivery issetting records in many locations for this time ofyear, and the May-July corn spread traded at asmuch as a 49-cent inverse, also a new record for thatspread. Futures markets, on the other hand,remained relatively weak, under pressure frombroader weakness in commodities and the favorableproduction conditions in the Corn Belt.

Planting progress was reported at the second highestlevel ever at 53 percent complete on April 29, behindonly 2010. Rainfall was widespread across the belt thisweek, easing some of the concern about a dry winter.

On May 10, the U.S. Department of Agriculture willissue its May supply and demand report, which willinclude the first official look at its 2012-13 balancesheets. The production estimate will use the 95.9 mil-lion planted acres from the March survey, and theyield is expected to be raised above the 164 bushels

Livestock AnglesMay hasn’t been

kind to pricesSo far May has not been overly kind to livestock

prices. Both cattle and hog markets have seen someextreme pressure during the last few weeks of Aprilwhich carried over to May.

The cash and futures markets inthe cattle have been on differentpaths for the most part, for quitesome time. Money has been a dom-inant feature in the futures, whilethe cash trade has been focusedmore on the current fundamentalsand the packers’ desire to accumu-late inventory. The money flowinto the futures has been mainlyfrom funds as the technicallytrend in cattle turned from bullishto bearish drawing selling fromthe hedge and index traders.

The packers continue to be aggressive in theirquest to buy cattle paying well over the normal basislevels at this time of year. Export business has beenfairly decent while domestic demand for beef has cer-tainly been sluggish. Beef cutouts have increasedover the past few weeks, but once again as the pricehas risen the demand for beef the demand slowlysubsides. With the economy appearing to slow onceagain, the outlook will continue to remain question-able as to how much recovery can be seen.

From a technical perspective the cattle futuresappear to have made a near term low and could nownarrow the gap to the current cash prices erasing thediscount to cash. From a producers standpoint, tak-ing advantage of the current positive basis is sug-gested and to keep a good prospective of the longerterm price direction is imperative.

EMSLIE, from pg. 1Bper acres used at theFebruary Outlook Con-ference due to the fast planting pace.Demand should rebound some fromthe current marketing year, but notenough to offset that kind of produc-tion. This expected huge build instocks year-on-year is the dominantsource of weakness in the market.

Weekly export sales were very large,building on the series of dailyannouncements from the previousweek that included the 1.4 millionmetric tons new-crop sale to China.Weekly sales ended up totaling 1.33mmt for old-crop and 2.14 mmt for newcrop. Additional daily sales announce-ments during the week were reportedfor Mexico, South Korea, andunknown, which should lead toanother strong weekly total next week.Weekly ethanol production rebounded29,000 barrels/day to 894,000.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans spreadsshowed big moves this week as well,

although unlike corn,the strength was in

the new-crop. The newcrop contract rose 4.75 cents, while theJuly contract lost 15.25 cents and theMay contract was down 21.75 cents.

The weakness came late in the weekafter the July contract hit a new con-tract high of $15.125 on Wednesday, butclosed lower creating a negative rever-sal on the chart. There was daily salesactivity reported by the USDA’s report-ing system each day during the week,primarily for the 2012-13 marketingyear, which will translate into a bigsales number for the next weekly report.

This week’s weekly exports were 598tmt for old-crop and 1,134 tmt for new-crop. China is stepping up demand inresponse to the declining South Ameri-can production. The Buenos AiresGrain Exchange in Argentina loweredits estimate to 41 mmt from 43 previ-ously. A reduction in Argentina’s pro-duction estimate on the May USDAreport is expected to be the catalyst for

increased U.S. exports.We expect to see a 25 million bushel

increase for the current marketing year,and a big enough new-crop program topush the 2012-13 ending stocks-to-useratio to a rather tight 4.5-5 percent. TheUSDA export projections will drivewhether the report is bullish or bearishfor soybeans. The projected farm pricesmight be worth paying attention to, tosee if the USDA implies any pricerationing of demand in the face of thereduced South American crop.

On the U.S. production side, it wouldbreak precedent if the USDA were toadopt anything other than the Marchacreage number and the trend yield cal-culation used in the February outlook.That means that production shouldcome in close to 3,205 million bushels.

Privately, there are expectations thatthe strong soybean prices relative tocorn this spring will result in higherfinal soybean acreage, but that won’t bereflected on the May report.

The Chicago Mercantile Exchangeannounced this week that it will beexpanding trading hours starting onMay 20. Most days, electronic tradingwill start at 6 p.m. Central time andnot stop until 4 p.m. the next day. Theopen outcry hours will remain thesame, and each day’s settlement willstill be established at 1:15 through theexisting procedure. Futures marketswill now be trading when USDAreports are released, which will be anew experience for the grain industry.The expanded trading time shouldfacilitate less risky afternoon grainbuying as well. ❖

MARKETING

TEALE, from pg. 1BThe hog market has continued on its

long-term slide in prices right into thefirst part of May. Ample supplies of liveinventory has kept the market on thedefensive since February. Pork cutoutshave been sliding along with the liveprice reflecting ample supplies of pork.

However the movement of pork prod-uct has been better than expected asconfirmed by the recent Cold Storagereport released by the U.S. Departmentof Agriculture, which indicated a gooddraw down on pork supplies. Thereforethe demand for pork has been good as

the cutout price has declined.Considering the difference between

the cutout price for beef compared tothe cutout price of pork, it would seemlogical that the domestic retailer andthe consumer will be enticed by thevalue of pork.

Another potential positive building forthe hog market is the fact that the mar-ket is now technically oversold and couldproduce a short term low in the nearfuture. Producers should remain wearyof the market since the downtrendremains in place and use significantprice rallies to protect inventories. ❖

Hogs continue slideNEHER, from pg. 1BHave we been lulled into complacency?

In his book “Great by Choice,” JimCollins introduces us to a concept thathe calls the “20 Mile March.” Collinsasks us to imagine that we are stand-ing in San Diego, Calif., and setting outfor a 3,000-mile walk to the tip ofMaine. He tells the story of two peoplewho set out on the walk with differenttactics. The one walks 20 miles out oftown on the first day and then 20 milesthe next day. Twenty miles a daythrough the heat of the desert and thesnow storms of the Rockies. When theweather is nice and the wind is hisback, he only walks 20 miles and thenrests for the next day. When theweather is nasty, he gets up. He getsdressed. He marches his 20 miles.Eventually he gets to Maine.

Now, the other person who starts outwith him on the same day, got allexcited by the journey and logs 40miles the first day. Exhausted from hisfirst gigantic day, he goes to bed andwakes up to 100-degree temperaturesin the desert. He decides to hang outuntil the weather cools, thinking, “I’llmake it up when the conditionsimprove.” He maintains this pattern ofbig days with good conditions, whiningin his tent on bad days.

Just before he gets to the Coloradohigh mountains, he gets a stretch ofgreat weather and he goes all out, log-ging 40- to 50-mile days to make up thelost ground. But then he gets hit with abig winter storm and it about killshim. He hunkers down in his tent andwaits for spring. By the time spring

arrives he emerges from his tent weak-ened and stumbles off toward Maine.By the time he reaches Kansas Citythe other hiker has just reached the tipof Maine.

Collins states, “The 20 Mile Marchcreates two types of self-imposed dis-comfort: (1) the discomfort of unwaver-ing commitment to high performance indifficult conditions, and (2) the discom-fort of holding back in good conditions.”He further suggests, that “a good 20Mile March lies largely within your con-trol to achieve. You shouldn’t need luckto achieve your march… A good 20 MileMarch is designed and self-imposed bythe ‘enterprise,’ not imposed from theoutside or blindly copied from oth-ers…A good 20 Mile March must beachieved with great consistency. Goodintentions do not count.”

He suggest that 20 Mile Marchinghelps turn the odds in our favor forthree reasons. First, it builds our confi-dence in our ability to perform well inadverse circumstances. Second, itreduces the likelihood of catastrophewhen we’re hit by turbulent disrup-tion. Thirdly, it helps us exert self-con-trol in an out-of-control environment.

Margin management is all about“hitting those singles and doubles andnot swinging for the homerun.” It is allabout marching our 20 miles a day,every day. If we can consistentlyremain disciplined and capture theprofits when the market presentsthem, we will fulfill our goals. Twentymiles a day is a grain angle that willgive us the edge to success. Let’s laceup our boots and get to marching! ❖

WADENA, Minn. — The 2012 tornadoseason is already wreaking damageacross wide swaths of the United States.But the affects of a June 2010 tornadoare still being felt in Central Minnesota.

“We have a list of projects for thisspring and summer,” said Tanya Nelson,the volunteer coordinator for theWadena-Ottertail Long Term RecoveryCommittee.

Immediately after a series of powerfultornadoes swept across part of eastOttertail County and into the town ofWadena on June 17, 2010, volunteerspoured into Wadena. Police and firedepartments from neighboring commu-nities came to assist. The Red Cross wasthere within hours to provide water, foodand shelter. Hundreds of volunteers came fromaround the state to clear debris from the streets. Itwas a remarkable outpouring of generosity.

“Organizations such as the Red Cross will overwhelmyou with their capacity to get things done,” Dave Evert,a member of the Long Term Recovery Committee, said.“Immediately following the storm they show up withpeople, experience, food, trucks, trailers. They knowhow to make things happen and how to get food andwater out to people in the streets. They know how tocause people to look at what they need to know as far assafeguarding themselves.They will come in with such ahead of steam it will take your breath away.”

But they don’t stay.“Having never been involved with a disaster like

this I, like everyone else, was focused on trees toremove, homes to repair, people to find homes for,”Evert said. “Disaster response is what happens

moments after the initial response and for the nextfive or six weeks. When the danger is gone the firedepartments and police from other towns go home.”

“It’s very apparent that when you’re about two orthree weeks into the disaster response they saywe’re out of here and you better be ready,” Del Moen,a Lutheran pastor and Chairman of the Long TermRecovery Committee, said.

With large parts of the town of Wadena and the vil-lage of Almora, along with dozens of farms, in variousstages of ruin it was hard to be ready. But thanks tothe assistance of Lutheran Social Services DisasterRecovery Services and Ottertail-Wadena CommunityAction Council, a Long Term Recovery Committeeand a financial management system were set up.

“I finally came to comprehend the meaning of long-term recovery on the 17th of August (2010) when wehad a group of people here from Siren, Wis.,” Dave

Evert said “They were the long-termrecovery committee and they were com-pleting their sixth year of work follow-ing a similar tornado disaster.”

The Ottertail-Wadena Committee willnot likely operate that long. They areplanning to shut down at the end of thesummer. If all goes well they will havetaken care of most, if not all, of the ofthe unmet needs of the tornado victims.

“For us long-term recovery startedabout six to eight weeks after the event,”Evert said. “Its principle focus is to iden-tify who are the people who have needsassociated with this disaster that cannotbe met with their own resources.”

Those needs can include things thatwere underinsured, uninsured, or couldnever have been insured. They can be

entire homes, automobiles, barns and outbuildings, 40acres of twisted and destroyed timber, 80 acres of farm-land strewn with tons of debris, or a broken heart.

“You start realizing days after a disaster that youare intimately involved in the response and thatyou become emotionally and physically exhaustedand in pain,” Evert said. “You begin to encounter

TORNADO, from pg. 3Bpeople at a much more intimate levelthan usual and they have conversa-tions with you about how hurt theyare psychologically and emotionallyand how scared they are.

“You begin to understand that weneed to replace this person’s fencethat’s gone but that’s not really theirfirst priority. The first priority is thatI spent an hour and a half in conver-sation with them and we never talkedabout the fence. You begin to under-stand that this long-term recoveryprocess is going to be more about emo-

tional and psychological healing.”Everyone who comes in contact with

the disaster needs to heal. When, inNovember 2011, Wendy Molstad, theCommittee’s Case Manager, received aphone call during a meeting she hungup and started crying. When she wasunder control she explained that shehad just found warm winter housing fora disabled veteran who had lost every-thing in the storm 17 months earlier.

“Health and safety were our initialpriorities for unmet needs,” Molstadsaid. “Then our priority became get-ting people back into their homes.

Later it was being sure everybody’shome could sustain the winter. Everyfew months weevaluate what theneeds are andswitch our priori-ties to that. Some-times somethingwill come up fromthose earlier prior-ities and we haveto address it.”

Among the prior-ities this springand summer willbe to clean upsome of thedowned timberand to bring farmfields back intoproduction.

“Volunteers needto feel that theirtime was put to good use,” TanyaSmith, the Committee’s volunteercoordinator, said. “We had a farmerthat lost everything on his farmstead.All that debris was spread across thefields that he planted each year. Therewas about 80 acres close to his homethat we needed to clean up. It was ahuge undertaking.

“If he and his family set out to dothat it would take them a considerableamount of time. We had a youth groupof about 35 kids with adult chaper-ones. They worked on that project. Itwas hot and tedious. It wasn’t muchfun tramping through the field. They

really didn’t understand the signifi-cance of what they were doing.

“So, we sat downwith the farmerand we expressedour appreciation tothe volunteers. Weexplained to themhow long it wouldbe before life couldget back to normaland before theycould resumefarming. Theyfinally got it. Theyrealized howimportant whatthey were doingwas to this family.”

Rural electric infrastructure funding

By DEE GOERGEThe Land Correspondent

One Iowan grain farmer’s responseto personally help Haitians after theJan. 12, 2010, earthquake has ralliedagricultural businesses, the citizens ofIowa and states and countries beyondto unite for common sense emergencysolutions. At the heart of the plan isSafe T Homes — modified grain bins,designed for human shelter by SukupManufacturing Co. of Sheffield, Iowa.

“People ask me, ‘Aren’t they hot?’” saidKen DeYoung, who created Global Com-passion Network based out of his home-town, Laurens, Iowa. “It’s the designthat makes it work. The double roof,that’s the key. And there is ventilationas well. It’s 8-10 degrees cooler inside.”

Organized just last fall, GCN haspartnered with the Iowa Soybean Asso-ciation’s Iowa Food & Family Project —www.iowafoodandfamily.com — tolaunch “Special Delivery. Homes. Help.Hope. For Haiti.” The goal of the cam-paign, which runs through June 1, is toset up 48 of the homes at the Village ofHope, 10 acres DeYoung purchased inHaiti after wrangling through red tape.

With the support of campaign co-chairs Iowa Lt. Governor KimReynolds and Iowa Ag Secretary BillNorthey, farm groups, businesses andindividuals, DeYoung expects to exceedthe goal. Thirteen homes have alreadybeen shipped and set up.

Despite initial doubts, “The responsefrom the Haitians for the design waspretty exciting,” DeYoung said. Heexplained that Haitians live in concreteblock homes with cement roofs, whichwere deadly during the earthquake. Now,many survivors are afraid to go into con-crete structures. Because the steel build-ing is different, some Haitian immi-

grants in the United States thought peo-ple would resist such a cultural change.

It wasn’t the case, DeYoung said.Haitians eagerly joined Americans whoflew to Haiti earlier this year to assem-ble the homes — 11 structures in 5 1/2days. By the last day the Haitians built ahome by themselves. Each home comeswith a 1/2-in open-end wrench, a speedwrench and punches to line up holes —the only tools needed for assembly.

HOMES, from pg. 5BMaking it simple to erect and easy to transport to

remote areas were a couple of the considerationsmade by Brett Nelson and his design team atSukup. Nelson had been thinking about the design,then got permission from the company’s owners towork on it after the earthquake.

“It’s an engineered system that draws on ourexperience making grain bins,” Nelson explained.“It’s very durable — specifically it’s fireproof, nearearthquake proof and anchored to withstands wind.It’s termite proof and cool.”

The 20-gauge steel, 18 feet wide by 13.5 feet tallstructures weigh less than 3,500 pounds, with thelongest roof sections at 9 1/2 ft. so they can easily betransported by hand or with carts. They include twowindows and a door. The lip at the edge of first layerof the 24-gauge steel roof is turned up to help chan-nel the water for collection under the eave. The topheat shield layer is made of perforated steel thatshades the roof. The double roof combined with acupola and continuous ventilation under the eave,keeps the unit cooler than outside.

“This shelter is suitable for all phases of recovery,”Nelson said. “It can be deployed quickly, but is durableenough for transitional and permanent shelters.”

Cost per Safe T Home is $5,700. With another$1,000 for shipping and a concrete slab, the unitshave a 70-year life expectancy. The partnershipwith Sukup is just one of many.

The Iowa Soybean Association pledged $1,000 per

Safe T Home (up to $48,000) to purchase Meals fromthe Heartland — food packets of soy protein, rice,vitamin powder and dried vegetables to feed six.Cargill-Iowa Region is also donating meals.

County Farm Bureau groups, FFA clubs and other

organizations have rallied around the “Special Deliv-ery” that Iowans plan to make to Haiti through GCN.

DeYoung said the Village of Hope is transitional toget families back on their feet, provide education andopportunities for future sustainability.

“It’s not a free ride for them,” DeYoung said. Theywill sign contracts and be expected to help with thevillage and pay rent to hopefully make the villageself-sustaining. He hopes to build larger, 48-ft. diam-eter Safe T Homes to set up as a clinic and commu-nity center/church. Donations of a tractor andgrinder for rice will make it easier to grow andprocess food.

“We don’t plan to shut down after June 1,” DeY-oung said. The need is great, and another commu-nity has offered land to set up a similar village.

People can help by contributing money, goods or byvolunteering their skills by going to Haiti. “I want toget as many down there as I can,” he said.

DeYoung is a pilot and flies his plane on many trips toHaiti delivering medical and other supplies. Early on,he worked with others welding and fabricating ship-ping containers into an orphanage, which was frustrat-ing work in a country where there is no acetylene gasand few tools that most people take for granted.

The simplicity and durability of Safe T Homesmake them a great housing option.

“My heart and my faith tell me I have a responsi-bility to take care of the orphans and widows of theworld and do my part,” DeYoung said. He invitesanyone with the same belief to support GCN to helpwith its Special Delivery project.
