EXPERT ANALYSIS

David Kohl onthe wild world ofglobal economics

When David Kohl talks “the wild world ofglobal economics” everyone listens.

A retired 25-year veteran of agfinance and small businessmangement, Kohl said global eco-

nomics the past decade has positioned agriculture andag lending with many opportunities. On the flip side, ithas also created risks and more opportunities to fail.

“The stakes are high today. Agriculture hasbecome extremely capital intensive. The rewardshave been and continue to be potentially great, andexciting. But with greater rewards come greaterrisks,” Kohl said.

He indicated the Return on Assets for America’s top20 percent of producers has been greater than 10 per-cent for the last 15years. But are theresome “black swans”lurking out there?Oil and Middle Eastunrest is the biggestblack swan. Oil hit-ting $200 and $6gasoline could hap-pen. U.S. public debtissues cloud the hori-zon. So too the Eurosector and its grow-ing linkage withChina. And don’tignore terrorists, dis-eases and naturaldisasters.BRICS ahead

What’s ahead? “BRICS” is the nomenclature andit represents the emerging nations of Brazil, Rus-sia, India, China and South Africa. Currently thesefive countries represent 20 percent of the worldeconomy but 50 percent of world growth into thenext decade. Ten years back China ranked seventhin the world’s economy; today China is second.Brazil went from 14th to sixth.

“Food, fuel and fiber are what these emergingnations demand. And the market goes to whomevercan be the most competitive supplier. That continuesto be the United States. China continues at an amaz-ing 8 percent growth rate. If/when that drops to 5percent, the market price of U.S. farm commoditiestakes a beating. If growth drops to 3 percent, then $3corn, $6 beans and $50 oil are very likely,” Kohl said.

Connecting with theconsumer has been amantra for producers oflate. Getting the nextgeneration in tune withwhere their food origi-nates is important, butalso may be daunting.

The May issue of Pio-neer Hi-Bred’s Grow-ingPoint magazine tooka look at what tomor-row’s voters and con-sumers know aboutagriculture. Theyasked third-grade students fromMaryland, Missouri, New York andIowa a series of questions aboutfarming and agriculture.

Pioneer posed 17 questions tothe third graders. Having a third-grade teacher in my household, Ithought it would be interesting topose some of the same questions toher Mankato, Minn., class. Theseeight questions were simplyhanded to the students, withoutany previous lesson or priming, toget a true first impression fromthe youth.

Following are a sample of theresponses from the Mankato thirdgraders, as well as a smatteringfrom the Pioneer quiz.

Keep in mind, this was an unsci-entific survey, but the answers areinteresting, entertaining andsomewhat eye-opening.Where does meat come from?

For the most part the youthnailed this one.

Europe. A call for country of ori-gin labeling?

Chicken.From farms.Chicken, cow.Cows, pigs.Cow, chicken, horse, pigs.Cow, chicken, rooster, goat.Male cow.Pigs and cows.Animals.

How big is a farm?Initial perceptions are as varied

as those of people who have beenaround the agricultural world for

quite some time.5 miles.8 feet.20 yards.Too big.3 acres.Very big.About 4 or 5 yards.I don’t know exactly,

but I am guessing a cou-ple acres.

30 feet.Big as a school.20 yards on each

side.Like a little house.Really big.Really big, 18 feet I think.As big as Walmart.30 feet.

What does a tractor do?Water the corn.It sucks corn in.Plow.I don’t know.Drives and other things.Mow the grass.Gets the weeds out.A tractor can pull hay and it can

plow.Pulls a plow.They plow the field.Plant seeds and harvest plants.Cut grass.Haul and plow things down.Lines up your corn fields.Puts seeds in the farm garden.I do not know.

What does corn need to grow?The basic concept is understood.Grain.Water.Corn needs water to grow.Water, sun.Seeds.Sunlight and water.Sunlight, warmth and water.Corn.Sunlight.Rain and sun.

Where does milk come from?Most all of the Mankato students

knows where moo-juice comesfrom, except for when the animaldoesn’t actually moo.

Cows.Cow, goat.

Female cow.What does a farm look like?

Just like the question on farmsize, perception varies on what afarm looks like.

It looks like a square with lots ofcorn.

Red.Farm is where chickens and cows

are.Big.He wears a hat and has a lot of

work to do.They’re red or white.A farm has a lot of animals, a

barn and maybe a farm house.Big red.There is a field and they keep

the animals in the barn.A farm has lots of animals, has

sheep, cows, etc.Red and white.In the country and have barns

and animals.Has chickens and pigs and some-

times horses.Food, house.Big and with animals and

plants.What is a bushel?

Most knew a grain such as cornwas involved somehow.

Bags of corn.A lot of corn.Acre.Hay.I have no idea; I don’t really

know anything about a farm.A bunch.A bushel is a middle-sized bunch

or a big bunch of something likehay.

Like corn.A pack of corn.The outside that’s green of corn.A basket of corn.Pack.Ear.A basket.

How much does a bushel ofcorn cost?

We’ve all seen market jumps, butnot like some of these guesses.

$15.$2.

MINDS, from pg. 2$5.I don’t know.$10.I have no idea.About $100.I am thinking $5.$3.$2 or so.$80.$7.20.I don’t know.$25.GrowingPoint magazine posed more

questions to their subjects, and here’s asampling of some of the highlightedresponses.What’s a farmer look like?

Usually has a hat on, with a beardand overalls.

They are dirty and they work hardtoo.

Sweaty and gross.What does a farmer do all day?

Plant stuff and feed the animals.Work, feed, clean and sometimes they

read.Do his farm or relax.

What’s your favorite thing thatcomes from a farm?

Hot dogs.Soybean crayons. Your checkoff dol-

lars at work.Ham from the cows. This kid

is confused by hamburger, too.Corn. I love to eat it!

What do farmers feed cows?Cow food.Milk.Grain, hay, grass.Corn and soybeans.Farmers don’t feed cows, they feed

themselves. Technically, this student gotit correct. I’m envisioning a cow sitting ina highchair waiting to be spoon-fed.How many bushels of corn growercould produce on one acre?

7.No idea. Maybe 30?300.200.115.Maybe 1,000.30,000. Agronomists and geneticists

have their work cut out for them.9 million.24 football fields.As you see, some of the students have

a pretty good idea about the agricul-tural world around them, while therestill is a lot of work to do on others.

Confession time.The reason no picture (other

than that of my mug) accom-panies these commentaries issimple: If a picture is worthone thousand words — orabout 300 more words thanare printed here — I’d be out ofbusiness faster than you couldsay “digital photography.”

As such, we journalistspaint “word” pictures and,given our very limitedskills, we usually paint bynumbers. Real numbers, hard numbers,irrefutable numbers that, by themselves,tell a story or add to a conversation.

For example, “Our population trajec-tory means that from now to 2030, theworld will need to build the equivalentof a city of one million people in devel-oping countries every five days.”

That’s the opening sentence to theUnited Nation’s recently released report“Food and Agriculture: The future of sus-tainability.” Here are more of its numbers.

• “We now face astonishing levels ofwaste, 30 to 40 percent of all food ...never makes it to market and con-sumers in rich countries waste as muchfood as the entire net food productionof sub-Saharan Africa.”

• And “For the first timein history we have as manyoverweight people as under-nourished people ...”

For a link to the report andother supporting documents, logon to www.farmandfoodfile.com.

Building a new city of onemillion people every fivedays for the next 18 yearswill require new strategies

on how to find more andbetter use life-sustainingessentials such as food,

water, soil and energy.And since these essentials deeply

interlock — agriculture, for example,uses nearly 80 percent of all watertoday — any new strategy for one willhave a huge impact on all.

Other numbers are equally illustrative.Will the latest banking mess, this one

by the banking biggie J.P. Morgan,push Congress and the White House todouble efforts to regulate how banksuse their own funds, the so-calledVolker Rule?

It’s hard to know, but one thing we doknow is that when banks, led by J.P.Morgan, learned they couldn’t kill theVolker Rule in banking reform they

worked to make it ineffectual. Thispast February, reports Jesse Eisingerfor ProPublica, an independent, non-profit news service, they succeeded.

“Bank lobbyists with complicit regu-lators and legislators took a simpleconcept and bloated it into a 530-pagemonstrosity of hopeless complexity andvagueness. They couldn’t kill the rule.Instead, they are getting Congress andregulators to render it morbidly obeseand bedridden.”

Now J.P. Morgan is again rattlingglobal markets because of fat, complexbets the bank made with “Volker”money that even it can’t explain.

We do the same in agriculture. Howelse can you explain the monstrosity ofhopeless complexity and vagueness thatis the Beef Checkoff where 660 direc-tors in 45 different state beef councilshope to impact the 106-member check-off board that is accountable to 535members of the same Congress thatgave you the 530-page Volker Rule?

A similar situation exists in the soon-to-be-expanded federal crop insuranceprogram. From 2000 to 2010, “taxpayerscontributed more than $42 billion” to the“15 private companies” that administerthe program,” according to a December2011 story in the Atlantic magazine.

That tab will go higher under 2012farm bill ideas because a bigger shareof crop revenue, not crop yields, will beinsurable. That means revenue short-falls, not just production losses, willtrigger more and bigger payments.

Last year, a good production year,taxpayer subsidies for crop insurancetotaled $7.3 billion. According to theGovernment Accountability Office, pre-mium subsidies are expected to aver-age $7.8 billion per year from 2012 to2016 for a five-year total of $39 billion.

But that’s less than direct programpayments received mostly by grainand cotton farmers from 1995 through2010. Those payments totaled $167.3billion, or about $11.2 billion per year.

Is that the picture farmers want tax-payers to view: $7.8 billion of subsi-dies, not $11.2 billion? How does thatpolicy approach supply food and drinkto one million new global citizensevery five days?

Hard numbers, hard questions andeven harder answers. Maybe that’swhy I’m not smiling in that picture.

The 2012 legislative session will godown in history as the Vikings sta-dium session, but you may be sur-prised to know how much got done inSt. Paul when it comes to farm andfood issues.

At the end of April, Gov. Mark Day-ton signed into law the 2012 OmnibusAgriculture Policy bill. The legisla-tion, which received broad bipartisansupport, streamlined and modernizedstatutes covering food safety enforce-ment, grain trade and renewablefuels.

Among other things, the billupdated the statutory language gov-erning the Minnesota Department ofAgriculture’s Dairy and Food Inspec-tion Division by consolidatingenforcement provisions and creatingone chapter that clearly described theenforcement options for food product

categories overseenby the MDA.

The bill alsoupdated state grainstatutes for the 21stcentury, repealingnearly 150 statutesand rules while mod-ernizing the remaining statutes toreflect today’s marketplace. Languagewas changed to eliminate multiplereporting requirements, eliminatemultiple bond types and streamlinelicensing processes.

Another section of the bill fine-tunedthe course of biofuels in Minnesota byextending Minnesota’s E20 mandatefor two years and directing agencies todevelop recommendations for incorpo-

rating biofuels other than ethanol intothe mandate. The bill also extendedexceptions onto the state’s biodieselrequirement for three more years,while directing the MDA to developproposals for evaluating the excep-tions with an eye toward ending them.

I was pleased that the omnibus ag billalso made two smart investments in thefuture of Minnesota agriculture. First,the bill extended the AgriculturalGrowth, Research and Innovation fund-ing to June 2015. This AGRI fund wascreated in 2009 as the state’s ethanolpayments were winding down, and theprogram goal is to promote the advance-ment of the state’s agricultural andrenewable energy industries. The secondwise investment the bill makes is thecreation of a Dairy Research, Teachingand Consumer Education Authority.This public-private entity was proposedby the Minnesota Milk Producers Associ-ation to raise money from the privatesector to invigorate our dairy sector.

The state made an additional invest-ment in agriculture during the session’s

closing days, when Gov. Dayton and law-makers agreed to a bonding bill thatincluded $33 million for the RuralFinance Authority. This money will beused to help local ag lenders make creditavailable to beginning farmers as well asestablished farmers looking to make on-farm improvements to boost productiv-ity, profitability and conservation.

It’s easy to be jaded about govern-ment and politics these days, but wecan be proud that agriculture remainsan area of public policy where bothparties can work together. A big por-tion of the credit for this goes to thechairs of the House and Senate agri-culture committees. That’s why I wassorry to see Senate ag committeeChair Doug Magnus retire. Magnus isa good friend who always did what heknew to be best for Minnesota farmers.I wish him the best in his retirement,and I will always be thankful for hispartnership and friendship.

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

Agricultural research scientists sometimes live ina jungle, seldom knowing exactly what will hatch asthey tinker with seed stocks of various feed grains.Here’s excerpts from a few interviewed this pastyear.

Gordon Selling with the U.S. Department of Agri-culture’s Agricultural Research Service in Peoria,Ill., speaks matter-of-factly: “A kernel of corn needsto be looked at in the same fashion as a barrel ofcrude oil. To maximize profits, oil companies useevery bit of oil they extract. Similarly, every bit ofmaterial present in a kernel of corn needs to be uti-lized to maximize revenue for the various businessesin the corn product stream.”

A kernel of corn has four main products: cornstarch (used in bio-ethanol production), corn oil, cornprotein and corn fiber. These in turn can be sub-divided into smaller parts, each with unique marketvalues. Selling and his ARS team deal mainly with

corn protein which subdivides into two broad types— the corn germ proteins and the endosperm pro-teins. The corn germ proteins have value as a compo-nent in adhesives, such as plywood glue. With addi-tional research, future formulations could meanstronger glues and use less non-renewable materi-als.

The main endosperm protein is zein, historicallyused in the production of textile fibers and coatings.However the zein was cross-linked with formalde-hyde, a suspected carcinogen. New research hasidentified reagents that appear to be safer thanformaldehyde and provide products with superiorproperties. Thanks to new extrusion techniques, thenumber of companies that could utilize zein to pro-duce products that can replace petroleum-basedmaterials increases dramatically.

Research breakthroughs always make news in theseed industry even though the business plan hingeson continually improving germplasm. For exampleSteve Petersen, end-use product manager for Mon-

santo, said Monsanto breeds corn for three pur-poses: yield, yield and yield. “But we screen manythings from these very intensive research anddevelopment efforts such as our food-grade corns,our waxy corns and our specialty products,” he said.

That screening process has already producedcorns with better adaptability for usage in cornchips. “We do a lot of work with Frito Lay, Cargilland other people that do food processing. As con-sumer needs evolve we’re trying to do things tomake certain our products meet these new criteria,”Petersen said.

Forthcoming is a calcium oxide product producedby Monsanto which when added to corn stoverand/or distiller’s coproduct creates a chemical reac-tion which substantially improves the nutritional

RESEARCH, from pg. 7value of this residue feedstock. “Itchanges the carbohydrate structurewithin the stover to produce signifi-cantly higher digestibility,” Petersensaid, indicating this is a joint projectwith Archer Daniels Midland andJohn Deere.

As corn yields increase, residueproblems also increase. “So if farmerscould harvest a sustainable portion ofthis stover to replace a portion of thecorn in the cattle diet, we think thispotentially does several good thingsfor the life cycle of corn, plus furtherenriching the ‘wet mash’ and/or DDGsof the ethanol industry,” Petersensaid.

In simple terms, this is Monsanto’sefforts to turn corn stover from abyproduct into a coproduct and in theprocess lessen the “residue issue” thattrait-protected 200-plus bushel corn isleaving in Corn Belt fields.

As the seed industry moves into sec-ond and third generation traits,Petersen said newer traits would havemuch broader impact. For exampleDrought Tolerant 2 will touch morebases than Drought Tolerant 1. He alsosuggested future corn traits will likelybe more specific for soils and climates.

Todd Frank, BASF corn breeder atOlivia, Minn., said improvedgermplasm always continues as themajor objective in the seed industry.“However more nutrient-rich hybrids

also are in our breeding pipeline. We’redoing this by improving the amino acidprofiles. And we’re concerned aboutenvironmental issues which is whywe’re also concentrating on low-phy-tate hybrids,” Frank said.

Low-phytate corn means lower phos-phorous content which in turn meansless phosphorous in hog manure. “Theobjective here is simply to lessen phos-phorous runoff from manured fieldsinto tile lines and drainage ditches. Welabel this as our ‘cleanermanure/cleaner water’ campaign,”Frank said.

He also mentioned a major ricebreeding effort of BASF Plant Sciencecentered on improving the Vitamin Acontent of rice.

Not yet ready for public sharing areBASF breeding programs designed toenhance the pharmaceutical values ofcorn. However recently launched intothe European market are GMO-enriched starch potatoes. BASFresearchers modified this particularseed potato by making it an amylpectin starch type, better suited forusage within the paper industry.

Nature Works LLC, a Minnetonka,Minn.,-based firm specializing in theproduction of Ingeo polymer, a plastic

made from plants (corn dextrose cur-rently the primary feedstock), justannounced the future construction inAsia of its second manufacturing facility.It currently manufactures in Blair, Neb.

Marketing Director Steve Daviessaid making Ingeo is an entirely newand innovative process. “Our technol-ogy is found nowhere else in the worldand provides an eco-friendly option.We’re in the business of turning green-house gases, namely CO2, into per-formance plastics.”

He describes the process as ferment-ing the plant’s sugars to make lacticacid. Next they polymerize the acidinto a performance plastic calledIngeo. And this new crop usage posesno threat to future food issues. At fullcapacity, their Nebraska plant usesless than 1/20th of 1 percent of theavailable global corn crop.

Multiple feed stocks and multipleplant locations are the business plan ofthis ambitious new venture makingplastics from plants rather than petro-leum products. Products made fromIngeo polymer include apparel, bottles,cards, film, cartons, food packagingmaterials and the list keeps expandingas petroleum prices keep driving upthe cost of traditional plastics. ❖

Page 11: May 25, 2012 :: Southern :: The Land

By CAROLYN VAN LOHThe Land Correspondent

When corn, soybean, wheat and sorghum farmersmet at the 2012 Commodity Classic in Nashville, itwas a time to recognize the accomplishments of theprevious year, learn about the latest products andtrends in agriculture, and thenlook to the future. While there,three Minnesotans received spe-cial recognition for their accom-plishments from the AmericanSoybean Association.Robert Nelsen

Nelsen, a Westbrook-areafarmer, received an award forsigning up the most members inan ASA Division I state. The 119members he signed in 2011 beathis personal record of 106 members in 2010, and alsoearned him the distinction of signing more membersthan anyone in the nation. Nelsen has achieved thisaward four years in a row, and each year he has sur-passed his previous record.

“I began farming in August 1961 after I returnedhome from the U.S. Army. Dad had the 240 acresplanted, and I got the crop when we harvested,” saidNelsen, a fourth-generation Minnesota farmer.

For a number of years he farmed with his brotherMarlowe, several brothers-in-law and his dad, butlater he struck out on his own. Today, Nelsen’s daugh-ter Elizabeth, her husband, Casey Johnson, and their

son Theo farm the land in eastern Murray County.Nelsen is an at-large member of the Minnesota Soy-

bean Board. He also serves on the South Dakota Soy-bean Processors board in Volga, S.D. In addition tocorn and soybean organization responsibilities,Nelsen is active in his church and community groups.

“I believe in organizations.Numbers are a big thing. If youbelieve, belong,” he said, citingthe slogan of the ASA.Dana and Katy Blume

Farm organizations need thewisdom and experience of oldermembers like Nelsen, but tosucceed and move forward,they also require the energyand perspective of the younger

generation, such as the Blumes. Young farmers fromElbow Lake, they were recognized at the ASA ban-quet for completing the ASA/DuPont Young Leaderstraining with 26 other couples.

“I became interested in the young leader programafter reading the application in a farm magazine,”Dana said. “We are already very active in our com-munity with the school board, ag center board andchurch board, as well as secretary for our volunteerfire department. I thought there might be someskills I could learn that would help us with what wewere doing. Plus I was excited to meet and talk toother growers from around the country, which wasthe best part about the experience.”

The Blumes and the other couples in the programmet for four days in Iowa during December. Therethey learned the importance of sharing their posi-tive agriculture story through social networkingand verbal communications. They met again forfour days during the Commodity Classic, wherethey learned trends in agriculture and continuedtheir communication training.

Blume learned how important the ASA andNational Corn Growers Association are in the leg-islative process when shaping farm policy. “Manypeople probably don’t understand the importance ofthis side of things and how much time is involved ingetting it done right. That was probably the biggesteye opener to me,” he said.

“One thing I want to try is to get more localsinvolved in the policy side of things, and try to getmy generation to realize the importance of gettingmore involved,” Blume said.

Dana is also a fourth-generation farmer whofarms with his parents on their 2,800-acre farm.They grow mainly corn and sugar beets, but alsosoybeans. Katy, who grew up on a dairy farm nearLittle Falls, Minn., works part time as an officemanager for a local seed company/farm. The couplehas four young children, so there are prospects for afifth-generation farmer in the family. ❖

GLOBAL, from pg. 1He’s not bashful telling his audience

that the economic growth of BRICS isprimarily what’s fueling the unprece-dented richness of American agricul-ture. He reminded that some thinkthe U.S. economy is faltering. “But doyou realize that in just one hourAmerica generates more economicproductivity (dollars), than 25 percentof the world’s countries generate in an entire year!”

The United States today has a $15 trillion econ-omy; China, the second biggest economy in the worldis at $6 trillion.

“The long term viability of these nations will bedefined by the way they handle adversity,” Kohl said.He also cautions about the growing entitlement men-tality of developed nations. He credits the MarshallPlan after World War II that jump-started the war-torneconomies of Germany and Japan as being the steppingstone of an entitlement society. With an aging popula-tion worldwide, demands are likely to get greater.Super cycle

“America is just coming off a nine-year ‘supercycle’.” He speaks of the Upper Midwest and Canadaas “islands of prosperity” and still benefiting fromthe tailwinds of Asia/China exports, ethanol, the lowvalue of the dollar, mostly favorable weather, “bull-ish” land values and low interest rates.

Since 1910, Kohl said America has had four supercycles in agriculture with each of three- to four-yearduration. This current cycle now into its 10th year isbrewing a potential issue. “We’re getting complacentbecause we’re getting long into the cycle and the out-look is still encouraging.”

Ethanol will continue an important energy source,especially with Brazil now a major buyer of U.S.ethanol. Why Brazil, which used to be the world’s No.

1 ethanol producer from sugar cane? Because sugarrapidly has become in big demand in both China andIndia so Brazil no longer uses sugar cane to makeethanol. Instead cane sugar exports to these twoeconomies have become huge for Brazil.

After this fall’s election Kohl said there could besome hard changes especially if the Bush tax programis dropped. Agriculture and property taxes on U.S.farmland could rapidly get in the bull’s eye of a Con-gress desperately trying to lessen its huge debt load.

Yes, these are the best of times for U.S. agriculture, butthey can’t last Kohl reminded. With interest rates con-tinuing in the 3.25 percent range, he admitted the natu-ral inclination to borrow more and buy more, especiallybe that land. But if interest should spike to 6 1/2 to 7percent it would suddenly add $450 billion to the federaldebt. And U.S. exports would go into a swan’s dive.

Is agriculture into a credit bubble? Kohl suggestedthat the financial world thinks so. Yet in 2011, theactual debt-to-income ratio for U.S. farmers was 2.26to 1. Anything less than 5 to 1 is considered good, tovery good. He reminded that in the farm crisis of the1980s that ratio was about $14 debt to $1 net income.Young taking a punch

He cautioned younger farmers that “you’re going totake a punch in the next five years. ... What is yourparachute when things converge negatively?”

He repeated that the U.S. economy is struggling atonly about 1.5 percent growth when we’d like to be at 4percent. But Europe is only at 0.3 percent growth, andJapan is still a negative figure. However the five

BRICS nations combined are at 8.1 percent currently.“When they’re above 8 percent, U.S. agriculture

does well. Even the U.S. manufacturing industry isgrowing quite well. Why? Because the cost of laborin China, Japan, Korea and a few other Asian coun-tries has gone up so much that it is now cheaper forU.S. manufacturers to build in America,” Kohl said.

Kohl too still addresses oil as “black gold” sayingthat six of eight recessions the past 50 years weredue to oil. “With a stronger dollar, oil prices getlower. But the cheaper dollar today is definitely partof the cause of escalating oil prices, despite the con-cerns about Iran and other trouble spots.

“Meanwhile $5 gas is creating a tremendouslyexpanding market for natural gas. In Pennsylvaniathey’re talking 2,000 new wells drilled this year pro-ducing a 75-year supply. In the Utica Shell into Ohio,natural gas reserves could last 500 years.You’ll see theU.S. trucking industry rapidly converting to naturalgas once the infrastructure gets in place,” Kohl said.

He said the continuous spiking of U.S. farmland isdangerous. Today $9 of every $10 of agriculturalassets is tied up in land. Since the end of World WarII, there have been 63 years of farmland valuesincreasing, only eight years of decline.Family strength tested

Relating to booming farm land prices Kohl chuck-led, “80 percent of economics is behavioral, the fol-low-the-herd pattern. Old-timers tell me that if itgrows too fast, it’s a weed. That sort of fits the explo-

GLOBAL, from pg. 13explosion in farmland today. I think we’ll see manyhot family issues the next 10 years in the Upper Mid-west mostly triggered by the prosperity of agricul-ture. Unless transition plans are in place there willbe angry feelings about who gets what, who takescare of the old parents, what’s a fair rental rate whensome family member rents the home farm, etc.”

His advice to older farmers is simply phase downslowly but keep the motor running.He cited Joe Paterno,the long-time Penn State football coach who recentlydied just a couple months after being dismissed as headcoach.By all means have a transition plan in place,moreimportant now than ever before simply because of thetremendous capitalization of farmers today.

“Today 21 percent of farm businesses don’t have a“next gen” member to transition into. But that alsosays a lot of farmland will continue into the market-place year after year.”

Kohl puts tremendous emphasis on having a writ-ten business plan reviewed annually or more often ifneeded, and definitely present your written businessplan to your lender. “Lenders are under tremendouscompliance these days. They’re becoming morerestrictive on farm real estate loans simply becausethe risk is so much higher, especially after the deba-cle in the housing industry.”

Your business plan should detail your vision, bothlong-term (three to five years) and short-term (oneyear or less). Include your operational plan, inessence what to do to make it work. List your mar-keting strategies, and your risk management plan(crop insurance, etc.). If Plan A doesn’t work, what isyour Plan B. Conclude with a transition plan thatinvolves every member of your family.

Agriculture is hugely challenging but handsomelyrewarding if the right choices are made at the righttimes. “Understand that you are farming in a world oftechnology convergence. But very definitely one sizedoes not fit all. Transition is a continuous happening.

About 60 percent of all farmland turns over the next20 years. Enjoy the fact that you are making a differ-ence by feeding the world. And never forget that thebest crop you raise is your children,” Kohl said.Water, technology are key

Can world agriculture double production to feed 9-plus billion people by 2050? He thinks a much moreaggressive use of technology, especially in manyparts of the world where technology has yet to makean imprint, will increase world food production.

“Yes, the United States will still be the major playerbut the Southern Hemisphere of the world will alsobe a major player. We have the land resources butwater may be the critical variable. Through ongoingseed technology, we’ll have crops producing morewith less water. But I think water shortages andwater quality issues are inevitable,” Kohl said.

He considers Canada as a major ally to United Statesif water shortages become critical issues. He saidCanada is only 1 percent of the globe yet holds 7 per-cent of the world’s water. He also sees Africa, especiallySouth Africa, as becoming a much larger food resourcebut he cautions that it takes 30 to 40 years to iron outthe political and cultural issues and build the infra-structure to get a sustainable agriculture in place.

Kohl was professor of agricultural finance andsmall business management and entrepreneurship inthe Department of Agricultural and Applied Econom-ics at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va. He has trav-eled over 8 million miles and conducted more than6,000 workshops and seminars for agriculturalgroups. Kohl spoke to 420 ag students of RidgewaterCommunity College, Willmar, Minn., plus area farm-ers and ag finance people at the Kandi Entertain-ment Center in Willmar on March 1. ❖

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

The next farm bill should be“dependable and understandable,affordable and defensible to taxpay-ers, and direct payments shouldstay in Title 1 of the legislation.”

Those are the thoughts of ErikYounggren of Hallock, Minn., electedas the 50th president of the NationalAssociation of Wheat Growers at thisyear’s Commodity Classic in Nashville, Tenn.

A graduate in finance from Minnesota State Uni-versity, Moorhead, the 41-year-old Younggren nowfarms in a partnership with two cousins, producingwheat, sugar beets and soybeans. For a relativelyyoung producer he already is knee-deep in experi-ence in the wheat industry.Wheat industry veteran

Prior to becoming a NAWG officer in 2009, Young-gren represented the Minnesota Wheat Growers onthe national association’s board, serving as a mem-ber of NAWG’s domestic and trade policy, operationsand budget committees. He also participated in spe-cial committees examining crop insurance policy.He’s also had a special interest in the upcoming ren-ovation of the Wheat Growers Building which isowned by the NAWG Foundation.

Younggren is an alumnus of the wheat industry’straining programs, the Wheat Industry Leaders ofTomorrow, the Wheat Organization Leaders of theFuture program and the Syngenta Leadership at ItsBest program.

He’s gotten to know Washington, D.C., well, so muchso that he’s lost track of his several visits to the nation’scapital. His answer to the No. 1 challenge going for-ward? “This year we need to get a new farm bill.Extending the current farm bill isn’t the answer

because there are so many programs expiring this yearthat need to be renewed. Obviously there is a hugemoney problem which isn’t going to get any better.

“Agriculture issues vary somewhat simply because oflocation. The guys down south are going through ahuge drought. They’ve got (Actual Production History)problems so their insurance coverage is going downbut premiums are staying the same. For wheat itseems what goes around comes around. My (March 12)testimony ... centered on the scab years in Minnesotaand how both our APH and insurance coverage wentdown. The only way out of that situation is to havesome really good years of production and good prices.”

Younggren also sees research as a big topic.

“Yes, we are getting moremoney into wheat researchbut are still very dependent onthe public sector. Scab is still aproblem; we’ve got rust issues.Those are big problems whichneed long-term money forresearching yet budgetsappear to be getting cut.”Wheat, corn gaining acres

There were about 6 millionacres of prevent planting in North Dakota last year.What crop mostly captures those acres in 2012? Young-gren said wheat will gain some of those acres; also pre-vent planted acres in Texas got some wheat. He specu-lates some expiring Conservation Reserve Programcontracts will get wheat, at least initially. However inthe eastern states, which normally do quite a little win-ter wheat, too much moisture last fall curtailed wheatacres which likely will be corn this year.

Because of the strong pricing on corn, corn likelywill pick up many western crop acres that normallywould have gone to wheat.

YOUNGGREN, from pg. 15U.S. Department of Agriculture projections indicated

56.6 million acres wheat and 95 million acres corn withsoybeans at 74.6 million acres.Preliminary Canadian datahas 23.9 million acres wheat, up 23 percent from 2011when extremely wet weather curtailed wheat seeding.Farm bill urgency

Speculating on initial USDA budget figures, he

thinks the $33 billion figure will be the startingpoint for Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and the Senate agcommittee. But a more realistic figure of $23 billionis more likely, Younggren said, reinforcing theurgency of getting a new farm bill done this year.

He acknowledges that the Title 1 Direct Paymentprogram will take some cuts but emphasizes that agri-culture needs a strong safety net, with the Federal

Crop Insurance program being a better choice for most.This year Younggren and his cousins will have around

3,000 acres of wheat and about 1,300 acres of soybeans.Wheat grows well in his area but disease continues to bea challenge, and quality issues are a constant.

Younggren has served as a member of his church’sBoard of Deacons, on the board of his county eco-nomic development committee and is also on a localcurling club. In his spare time, he also assisted in thestartup of a high-speed internet service for theirimmediate area. “Like many things in my life I juststarted asking questions, and my question was sim-ply ‘why not internet broadband service?’ Our phoneservice was inadequate to handle this additionaltask. However we have some smart partners andthese guys figured out how to go wireless by position-ing antennas on the several elevators in our area.”

He and his wife, Angela, who runs a pet groomingand kennel business, have a 15-month-old daughter,Annika.

“Serving the nation’s wheat growers is an honor andprivilege. Active participation on the national level ismore important than ever before,” Younggren said. ❖

Grain AnglesNot a market for

faint-of-heartWith news of a drought-stricken and winter-killed

wheat crop in Russia, a short wheat crop in Aus-tralia and excessive heat on the U.S. Plains, thewheat prices have taken off to the upside.

As wheat is competing with old crop corn in thefeed rations, corn prices tagged along for the ride.With the expected record corncrop coming into the pipeline thisfall, wheat may not be the driverfor long. This window of opportu-nity may only last for the next sixweeks. It is hard to believe, thatthe first of July which is a tradi-tional summertime high, is justahead.

Many in the corn market arestarting to question the assump-tion of an average trendline yieldof 166 bushels per acre, giventhat many of the expansion acresare in marginal growing areas.Obviously, it is too early to make any conclusions,yet the debate will rage on in the marketplace untilwe see more certain yield expectations. These mar-ket dynamics will make for a volatile basis environ-ment as well as flat price.

The unusually strong basis is reflective of thetightness in the local supply and demand. The factthat this crop was planted unusually early this year,suggests that harvest will likely begin much earlierthan normal. This early harvest could drive thebasis to tumble, sooner than usually occurs.

The impact of an early harvest weakening thecorn basis will make the marketing of the remain-der of the old crop corn more volatile this year. Anyold crop corn held un-priced after the first of July

Grain OutlookWheat, weather

trigger rallyEditor’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 analysis is for the week end-ing May 18.

CORN — The May contractexpired during the week, finish-ing 25 cents higher than the Julycontract on its final day.

The May-July inverse reacheda higher level than any previousMay-July spread, eclipsing theprevious highs made in 1996.The spread strength is the resultof tight cash markets, which setthe stage for the week’s 54.5-centrally in July corn. The rallyerased all of the previous week’slosses, and by Friday the Julycontract traded at the highest level since April 10.

What was the trigger for the rally this week? The key fundamentals such as ethanol production and

export buying had been fairly supportive all through therecent sell-off, but there had been one key ingredientmissing for a rally: weather. Interestingly, the weatherstory concerned wheat production more than corndirectly, specifically cold weather in Europe and drynessin Russia. Here in the United States, Kansas would alsohave liked to see one last finishing rain prior to harvest.Wheat rallied sharply during the week. The nearbyChicago wheat-Chicago corn ratio rallied to 1.09 as ofFriday, the highest level since last May.

Wheat feeding has been sizable in the UnitedStates, and big harvests this summer with continued

Livestock AnglesA recovery has begun

May has started out with an improving outlook forlivestock prices. After several months of weakness inboth cattle and hogs, a recovery has begun with bothpork and beef cutouts showing firmness on a sea-sonal basis.

The cattle market rallied on the support fromrenewed buying interest in the beefproducts. The beef cutouts haverallied after taking a long slide inprice over the past few months.Theseasonal pattern seems to havetaken hold as the barbecue seasongets into full swing as we approachthe Memorial Day weekend.

The futures market which hasbeen the recipient of fund sellingover the past month or so, hasseen a reversal by the funds backto the long side in recent days.This action has taken the deepdiscount out of the futures andnarrowed the basis over the past few weeks.

On May 18, the U.S. Department of Agriculturereleased the Monthly Cattle on Feed Report. The find-ings were: On feed May 1, 99 percent; placed duringApril, 85 percent; and marketed in April, 100 percent.Allwere in comparison to year-ago levels. The report wasseen as friendly to bullish as placements were smallerthan anticipated.As a result, look for the basis of futuresto cash to continue to narrow in the weeks ahead as thefutures should find continued buying.

The question is whether consumer demand willresist the higher cutouts and thus the higher beefprices at the retail level. If the economy stays in thedoldrums or even worsens, it will be hard for cattle tosustain a long-term rally. For now look for further

EMSLIE, from pg. 17favorable price relationships havebeen expected to limit corn feedingduring the fourth quarter of the corn marketingyear. With the prospect of less wheat feeding ascen-dant, corn prices found support.

Weekly ethanol production rose 7,000 barrels perday to 904,000. This is a pace that would mean cornuse for ethanol is above the 5 billion bushels esti-mated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture inMay. Ethanol’s discount to Reformulated Blend-stock for Oxygenate Blending gasoline continued toerode during the week. The big ethanol discountseen this spring may finally be working to draw outdemand and increase ethanol prices.

Old-crop weekly export sales were limited at339,000 metric tons, but new-crop sales were thesecond highest so far at 526,000 metric tons. OnTuesday, the daily reporting system showed anadditional 240,000 metric tons of new-crop sales toChina. New-crop corn rallied 31.75 cents this week.Planting continued on a torrid pace, coming in at 87percent complete as of May 13. The December con-tract rallied as the week went on in response totemperature forecasts that are on the warm side.The first condition ratings of the season areexpected as of May 20.

OUTLOOK: What some might call the “silly sea-son” has arrived when slight variations in weatherforecasts can make for big swings in the market.Because of the more direct relationship betweenwheat and corn prices this year due to the heavierlevel of wheat feeding, wheat weather is playing abigger role than usual, and creating something of aweather market for the old-crop contracts since howmuch wheat is produced will determine in part howmuch corn is left at the end of the marketing year.In the July contract, last week’s higher low and

higher high sets up the chart for atest of resistance at about $6.60. Sup-port is at the May low of $5.72 1⁄4.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans were the weakest leg ofthe grain and oilseed complex this week. The Julycontract managed a one-cent gain for the week,while the November contract declined33.25 cents. Soybeans were more vul-nerable to further technical sellingfollowing the collapse the previousweek and the large fund long posi-tion. The monthly NationalOilseed Processors Associationcrush report for April wasreported at 131.7 millionbushels, implying an 8-percentincrease from last April. So farfor the soybean marketing year,the crush is about equal to theprevious year.

The new-crop export market wasgenerally quieter this week, althoughthere was an announcement on Thurs-day of a 480,000 metric tons old-crop sale toChina. Weekly totals were 616,000 metric tons forold-crop and just 57,000 metric tons for new-crop.There weren’t many developments in the new-cropsoybean outlook this week. South American produc-tion totals are being finalized, and the U.S. produc-tion cycle is just getting under way. Soybean plant-ing is ahead of average at 46 percent complete.

OUTLOOK: The existing net fund length in soy-beans creates a bit more difficult conditions for arally. As of the latest Commodity Futures TradingCommission report, funds were still net long about184,000 contracts, although they were net sellers

over the course of the last two reports. The Julycontract made a cross formation on the

weekly chart, with the open and closenear each other. This would generally

be interpreted as consistent with achange in direction, in this case ahalt to the slide from the highsset at the end of April. Resis-tance is at $15.12, and supportat $13.76. The weekly Novem-ber chart is more negative, set-ting a new monthly low andclosing near that low this week.Other markets: For the week,

Minneapolis wheat was up 50.75cents, Kansas City was up 95 cents

and Chicago wheat was up 98.25cents. Financial markets were under

pressure from the fallout from the Euro-pean elections. In the flight to safety, the euro was

another 1.5 percent weaker against the U.S. dollar,and bond yields fell to multi-decade lows in theUnited States and Germany. Equities fared poorly;the S&P 500 was down 4.25 percent as of Fridayafternoon, hitting the lowest level since January.Crude oil lost $4.65. ❖

TEALE, from pg. 17strength in the market as producers use the cattle-on-feed information to their advantage. Producersshould still remain skeptical of the long-term trendand protect inventories when the opportunity arises.

The hog market has finally turned the corner aftermonths of downward pressure. The main catalystbehind the recent rally has been the movement ofpork product.

It appears that retailers have decided that there isgood value in pork versus the other meats. The move-

ment of pork products picked up as the cutout valuedipped well below half the cutout value of beef. Therecent cold storage report suggested that pork wasmoving out of storage at a far better rate than antici-pated supporting the idea of the better value in pork.

Despite the fact that hog prices have recoveredfairly nice, there is still plenty of resistance at higherprices. With the dollar currently on the upswing,export business could falter a bit, but the overall out-look continues to look fairly positive. Producersshould continue to monitor the market and protectinventories when those opportunities arise. ❖

Hogs turn corner on product movement

NEHER, from pg. 17will be priced off of the September futures contract.Currently the September contract is trading $0.89under the July contract. New crop corn could start toenter the pipeline in August due to early plantingand this will pressure the basis bids. All of this couldoccur in a short period of time. This will test the mar-keting management of the best merchandisers.

The big unknown yet to be determined will be theweather and how it affects the growing crops thissummer. This is always the case this time of yearand is no different than years past. The differencethis year is that ending stocks in corn are so tight,with little room for a yield reduction.

Soon, the markets will react to the six- to 10-day

forecasts that can change within the day. This is nota market for the “faint-of-heart.” As always, withvolatility there is the chance for failure and opportu-nity. Margin management will be the key to captur-ing the opportunities and avoiding failure.

To this day, I fondly remember how much myGrandpa loved cookies. Grandmother always madesome great homemade cookies, yet I remember find-ing a stash of “store-bought” cookies in the glove boxof his pick-up truck. I asked him about them onetime and he sheepishly grinned. After a short pause,he replied, “One thing that I have learned over theyears is that when they pass the plate of cookiesaround, you had better take a few.” Looking back tothat day, I think he was giving me a Grain Anglethat relates to markets like we have today. ❖

This column was written for the market-ing week ending May 18.

The U.S. Department Agriculture’s lat-est Livestock, Dairy and Poultry Outlooksaid “current year milk and dairy productprices continue a downward glide as milkproduction continues to expand despitelower producer returns in the face of highfeed prices. Next year’s milk productionincrease is expected to be slight as thecow herd contracts and demand becomessomewhat stronger, lifting prices.”

On a brighter note, the Outlookreported that corn prices are moderat-ing for the current crop year and for2012-13. Corn was projected at $5.95to $6.25 a bushel in 2011-12, a decline from April’sprojection, and then slip to $4.20 to $5 next year.

Higher corn plantings and higher expected yieldcould lead to a record-high supply in 2012-13 despitetight carry-in stocks. The recent Crop Progressreport showed a crop well ahead of average develop-ment for this time of year. While the USDA admitsthis is no guarantee of above-average yields, it “mini-mizes the risk of yield loss due to late planting.”

Soybean meal continues to inch upward.This month’sforecast calls for prices to average $360 a ton for the cur-rent crop year, up from April’s forecast. For 2012-13,prices are forecast at $335 to $360 a ton.The April Agri-cultural Prices reported the preliminary estimate ofalfalfa hay at $207 per ton. Hay could move downwardwith the 2012-13 crop.The benchmark 16-percent pro-tein dairy ration was calculated at $11.20 per hundred-weight for January-to-March 2012. Given crop price fore-casts, the ration value will likely head down later this

year and could fall further in 2013, accordingto the USDA.

“For dairy producers, the welcome relieffrom high feed prices will likely be counteredby lower milk prices for the balance of 2012,”the USDA said, “With some recovery likelyin 2013.” On balance, the milk-feed priceratio is not expected to signal expansionuntil later in 2013, according to the report.The total number of milk cows for 2012 wasraised slightly from April to 9.23 millionhead. The Milk Production report indicated

higher-than-expected cow numbers and,despite weakening returns, producerswere not reducing herds as quickly asexpected.

The dairy herd in 2013 is expected to decline to 9.17million head, reflecting 2012’s high feed prices andlower milk prices. Milk per cow for 2012 was boostedto 21,880 pounds from the April projection. Produc-tion per cow is forecast at 22,100 pounds for 2013.The rise in milk per cow this year is due to nearlyideal production conditions in much of the UnitedStates. Next year’s projected increase in productionper cow reflects the moderating feed price outlook.

Looking “back to the futures,” after factoring in theannounced Class III milk prices and the remainingfutures, the average Class III milk price for the firstsix months of 2012 stood at $15.65 on March 2 and$15.70 on May 10. The last half of 2012 was averag-

ing $15.95 on April 20, $15.61 on April 27, $15.08 onMay 4, $15.44 on May 11, and was trading around$15.68 late morning May 18.

Lower futures prices for feedstuffs could reduceMilk Income Loss Contract payments, according tothe University of Wisconsin’s Bryan Gould andreported by Dairy Profit Weekly. The USDA hasalready announced MILC payments of 38.9cents/cwt. for February and 82.6 cents for March.

Using May 14 settlement futures prices for MILC-related contracts, Gould revised his estimates for theremainder of 2012 and early 2013. He looks for MILCpayments to peak in spring and summer and top$1/cwt. in April and July. For April, Gould projects anMILC payment of $1.18; May, 75 cents; June, 91 cents;July, $1.03; August, 81 cents; September, 38 cents; andOctober, 11 cents. Updates are posted at his “Under-standing Dairy Markets” website.

Meanwhile, cash dairy prices saw a little strength theweek of May 14, especially on butter as the marketsawaited Friday afternoon’s April Milk Production report.Cash block cheese closed Friday at $1.50 per pound,unchanged on the week but 20.75 cents below a yearago.The barrels closed at $1.46, up a penny on the weekand 25 cents below a year ago. Only one car of eachtraded hands all week.The Agricultural Marketing Ser-vice-surveyed block price slipped a penny to $1.5269,while the barrels averaged $1.4938, also down a penny.

MIELKE, from pg. 19production remains high as milk looksto find a home away from Class IVproduction. Discounts are beingoffered to prompt cheese plants totake extra milk but are cautious tobuild inventory. Domestic sales aremoderate as some buyers are waitingto see if prices will go lower beforecommitting to added purchases.Export sales remain above year agoaided in part by Cooperatives WorkingTogether assistance, which was Fri-day’s DairyLine topic.

Dairy Profit Weekly editor, DaveNatzke, said that global dairy productsales are a “bright spot,” because theUSDA’s March dairy trade report indi-cates exports were valued at a record$484 million, topping $400 million forthe 13th consecutive month. Paced byrecord-high cheese sales and contin-ued strong sales of high-value whey

products, export valueswere up 11 percentfrom February and 15percent more than March 2011.Monthly butterfat volumes alsoimproved to a nine-month high, Natzkesaid. In contrast, March 2012 imports,at $258 million were up just 5 percentfrom February, and down about 7 per-cent from a year ago.

“When we look at trade balance,”Natzke said, “March exports were equiv-alent to 13.6 percent of U.S. milk solidsproduction for the month, while importsequaled about 2.8 percent of production.So far in this fiscal year, exports areestimated at more than $2.6 billion, up24 percent from the same period a yearago. Imports, at $1.6 billion, are up 9percent, resulting in a dairy trade sur-plus of more than $1 billion through thefirst half of the fiscal year.

Natzke also pointed to the NationalMilk Producers Federation’s CWT pro-gram. So far in 2012, the CWT has

assisted its members toexport about 50 million

pounds of cheese and 43million of butter and anhydrous milkfat. The milk equivalent of thoseexports is about 1.4 billion pounds, orthe annual production of more than66,000 cows.

Another 28 requests for export assis-tance were announced this week to sell2.617 million pounds of cheese and1.461 million pounds of butter andanhydrous milk fat to customers inAsia, Central America, North Africaand the Middle East.

Back to the cash markets, butter gainedanother 3.5 cents on the week adding tothe penny it gained in the previousweek’s reversal of six weeks of losses. It isnow trading at $1.3550, but is still 71.5cents below a year ago when it jumped 12cents and then picked up another 11cents the following week, to peak at $2.18for the year. Seven cars were sold theweek of May 14. The AMS butter price

dropped 3.9 cents, averaging $1.3750.■

Butter producers and handlers indicatethat churning schedules are seasonallystrong, according to the USDA. Creamofferings to the churn remain plentiful.Many butter producers report thatcream offerings are surpassing theircapacity. Current churning is generatingbutter stocks that are outpacing demand,thus clearances to inventory are occur-ring. Butter demand is “fair at best.”

Analyst Jerry Dryer wrote in his May 11Dairy & Food Market Analyst: “Don’t holdyour breath waiting for butter prices tocontinue to march higher. Domestic inven-tories are heavy; ditto for inventories inother parts of the world. ... If you preferlower prices don’t get over confident.”

On April 26, the U.S. Senateagriculture committee passedthe Agriculture Reform, Food,and Jobs Act of 2012 (2012farm bill) on a bipartisan voteof 12-5, with four SouthernSenators opposing the legisla-tion (see later discussion).

The proposed farm bill issomewhat similar to the newfarm bill proposal generatedin the fall of 2011, as partof the federal budgetreduction efforts by theCongressional Super Committee, whichultimately fell apart. The new farm billpassed by the Senate ag committee wouldmake major changes to the “safety net”features of future farm programs. Thecontroversial direct payments would beeliminated for all program crops, aswould the Average Crop Revenue Elec-tion and Supplemental Revenue Assis-tance programs, as well as potentialcounter-cyclical payments.

The proposed farm bill would keep Fed-eral Crop Insurance as the “centerpiece” ofa reformed risk management program forcrop producers, with revised federal subsi-dies for crop insurance, as well as someother new insurance options for producers.Farmers would also have the option to par-

ticipate in a new AgricultureRisk Coverage program (dis-cussed later), which willreplace the current programsthat are being eliminated.

The new farm bill will alsoconsolidate the current 23conservation related pro-grams into 13 programs, andwill cut the maximum levelof acreage in the Conserva-

tion Reserve Program infuture years. The pro-posed legislation would

also make reforms in dairy policy,would fund more research for organiccrops, and would make some adjust-ments in food and nutrition programs.

The Congressional Budget Office esti-mated that the new farm bill proposed bythe U.S. Senate ag committee would resultin savings of $24.7 billion over 10 years,which exceeded the budget reduction tar-get of $23 billion over 10 years.About 70percent of the savings will come from therevised commodity title of the legislation,which includes elimination of guaranteeddirect payments, a savings of approxi-mately $4.9 billion per year.The new farmbill would also reduce total conservationspending by about $6 billion over 10 years,primarily through reductions in CRP

acreage.The food and nutrition programs,which account for 75 percent of total U.S.Department of Agriculture funding, wouldsee only minor adjustments in fundingunder the new farm bill.

Payment limits for producers under theproposed farm bill would be tightened con-siderably, compared to current paymentlimits. Under the proposed legislation,farmers would have a $50,000 paymentlimit per individual for the new ARC pro-gram, and a $100,000 limit for a marriedcouple.The current farm bill has a pay-ment limit of $40,000 per individual fordirect payments, and a $65,000 per individ-ual payment limit for potential ACRE andcounter-cyclical payments.This resulted ina maximum payment limit of $105,000 perindividual, or $210,000 per married couple.

In addition, producers could earn another$100,000 maximum from the permanentdisaster (SURE) program.

The proposed farm bill also reduces theadjusted gross income maximum level to$750,000 per year for active farmers to beeligible for farm program payments, fromthe current AGI maximum level of $1 mil-lion,and continues the maximum level of$500,000 per year from off-farm income.There were no limits proposed for cropinsurance payments or subsidy levels,aswas sought by some members of Congress.The commodity title of the proposed newfarm bill will have three major components.

• Federal Crop Insurance Program, witha new “Supplemental Coverage Option.”

U.S. Senate proposal for a new farm bill includes changes

FARM PROGRAMS

By Kent Thiesse

MARKETING

See PROGRAMS, pg. 22

Page 22: May 25, 2012 :: Southern :: The Land

PROGRAMS, from pg. 21• A new ARC shallow-loss

program to compliment cropinsurance coverage.

• A marketing loan program similarto the current Commodity CreditCorp. loan program, with commodityloan rates set at 2012 levels, except forcotton loan rates.Supplemental Coverage Optionfor crop insurance coverage

• SCO allows individual crop insur-ance coverage to be supplemented withcounty insurance coverage to cover all orpart of the insurance deductible.

• The type of cov-erage under SCO

would match theindividual crop insurance protectionselected (yield-only or revenue protection).

• SCO payments would be deter-mined based on county crop insuranceloss procedures.

• The SCO coverage for individualfarms would be triggered by a 10-per-cent loss level and would cover lossesup to the farm’s insurance deductible,which would be adjusted at a 21-per-cent loss trigger for farms that areenrolled in the proposed ARC program.

• Total insurance payments on an indi-vidual farm could not exceed the total croplosses on that farm (no “double-dipping”).

• SCO insurance premiums would beset accordingly.

• Would make enterprise units per-manent. (Developed as a “pilot” in the2008 farm bill.)

• Would add a 10-percent additionalcrop insurance premium subsidy forbeginning farmers.Proposed ARC Program details

• Producers would make a one-time irrev-ocable decision to elect either a “CountyARC” or an “Individual Farm ARC.”

• Crops eligible for ARC include corn,soybeans, wheat, sorghum, barley, oats,rice, peanuts, pulse crops and otheroilseeds. Cotton is not included andwould have its own program.

• ARC program payments would becrop specific.

• The ARC program selection, eithercounty or farm, would be applied to allacres under operational control of theproducer on a county basis, includingacres added in subsequent years, andwould not be based on individual “farmunits” similar to past farm programs.

• For a covered crop, the ARC acres

would include all planted and pre-vented planted acres; however, a farm’stotal ARC acres cannot exceed its aver-age acres planted to all crops.

• A benchmark revenue level (yield xprice) for each crop would be determinedat either the county or farm level.

• The benchmark revenue levels(yield x price) would be set using a five-year “Olympic average” (removes thehigh and low) for the county or farm.

•• County: County average yieldfor the past five years.

•• Farm: Average reported yield forthe past five years for farms operatedby a producer in a given county.

•• Price: The “national averageprice” for various crops for the past five12-month marketing years. (Sept. 1 toAug. 31 for corn and soybeans.)

• Actual revenue levels for a cropyear would be calculated as follows.

•• County: Final National AgriculturalStatistics Service county yield per acretimes the U.S. average price for the firstfive months of the crop marketing year(Sept. 1 to Jan. 31 for corn and soybeans).

•• Farm: Verified final farm yield

PROGRAMS, from pg. 22per acre for all acres of agiven crop in a given countyon the farm times the U.S. average price for the firstfive months of the crop marketing year.

• ARC payments would be made for an individualcrop in the following situations.

•• County: If the actual county revenue is lessthan 89 percent of the benchmark county revenue.

•• Farm: If the actual farm revenue in a givencounty is less than 89 percent of the farm bench-mark revenue in that county.

• ARC payments per acre would be the smaller of ...•• 89 percent of the benchmark revenue (county

or farm) minus the actual revenue; or•• 10 percent times the benchmark revenue

(maximum payment level).• Final ARC payment levels

•• County: County payment per acre times 80percent of eligible planted acres.

•• Farm: Farm payment per acre in a countytimes 65 percent of eligible planted acres.

•• Prevented planted acres: Payment per acretimes 45 percent of eligible acres for both county andfarm ARC programs.

• ARC example for cornBase revenue: 180 bushels per acre x $4.50/bushel

= $810/acreActual revenue: 170 bu./acre x $4/bu. = $680/acre

(84 percent of base revenue)ARC payment: $810 x 0.89 = $720.90 - $680 =

$40.90/acre•• County: $40.90/acre x 0.80 = $32.72/acre final

payment

•• Farm: $40.90/acre x 0.65 = $26.59/acrefinal payment

Bottom lineMany commodity groups have supported the elimina-

tion of direct payments, as well as the ACRE and SUREprograms, and replacing those programs with some type of“shallow loss” safety net program that would supplementthe Federal Crop Insurance program. Most farm organiza-tions and commodity groups support maintaining a strongFederal Crop Insurance program, with some level of pre-mium subsidization by the federal government.The pro-posed ARC program, along with the potential SCO, appearto meet many of those farm bill objectives.

However, a considerable amount of concern has beenraised by Southern farm leaders and members of Con-gress that the proposed programs in the new farm billdo not treat crops like peanuts and rice fairly. Those twocrops were major benefactors of the current direct pay-ments, and the target price program.

The proposal passed by the U.S. Senate agriculture com-

mittee is the first step in writing a new farm bill.Thatproposal now goes to the full Senate floor for debate, pos-sible adjustments and potentially for approval.The U.S.House will then pass their version of a new farm bill,which may or may not be similar to the Senate version.Then a conference committee will work out differences inthe two versions of the new farm bill, before it is passedand ultimately goes to the president for final approval.

The current farm bill expires at the end of the currentfederal fiscal year on Sept. 30, and the 2012 crop year isthe final year covered by the current farm bill.There willlikely be many changes and adjustments made before anew farm bill is finalized, and that may not occur untilCongress convenes in 2013. It appears likely that thenewly proposed ARC program, or something similar, islikely to replace direct payments,ACRE and SURE for eli-gible program crops for the 2013 crop year and beyond.

Direct payments to farmers have been cut in the draftfarm bill from the ag committee of the U.S. Senate.

In the last few years, those direct payments havebeen essentially the only government paymentsmade to farmers on the basis of their crop acreage.Crop prices have been higher than the levels thatwould create payments under the counter-cyclicaland Average Crop Revenue Election programs.

Based on the Minnesota farms in the FINBIN sam-ple at the University of Minnesota, direct paymentshave been a fairly stable source of income for farm-ers: a five-year average of $13,044 for all farms in thesample and $17,980 for crop farmers. For all farms,the highest average payment was $13,873 per farm

in 2010; the lowest was $12,399 per farm in 2011.Direct payments are a fixed payment in contrast to

counter-cyclical payments that vary with price levels, andACRE payments which vary with price and yield levels.The policy draft from the committee replaces these threepayment systems with a new program called AgricultureRisk Coverage and expanded insurance subsidies.

The woman who was checking outahead of me in a local mart, swiped hercredit card, looked at me and asked, “Doyou have the day off?”

She asked me as if she knew who Iwas. This happens to me frequently andnot just in Minnesota. There’s a waitressin California who thinks the guy whoworks at the corner video store is mytwin, and there’s a woman from Alberta,a gal from New Jersey, and anotherwoman who I met in an airport who atfirst thought they knew me and thenwondered if I was a sister or cousin topeople I don’t know. Before you think my parentswere fooling around, they weren’t. I’ve decided Imust have a common face. Unless directly asked, Igo with the flow and chitchat with strangers whothink we’re long lost friends.

“I do have the day off,” I said.“How about you?”

She was flushed. “No, I’m try-ing to run as many errands as Ican during my lunch hour so Ican rush home after work.”

The woman was obviously rattled. I said, “Takedeep breaths as you drive back to work. You’ll feelbetter.”

She didn’t wait until she got in her car. As she puther credit card in her handbag and her bags in thecart, she took two cleansing breaths. “Thank you,”she said. “That feels better already.”

Although Mother’s Day 2012 is now history, I’mstill thinking on it. At mother-daughter banquetsand similar gatherings, I’ve learned some of thebeautiful things that have been passed down fromgeneration to generation — a love of reading, a

green thumb, quilting, baking, organiza-tion, and most importantly, faith. That’sfamily at its best — lovingly and inten-tionally passing the baton of faith, creativ-ity, work ethic and values to the next gen-eration.

It’s with Mother’s Day cards on myerrand list that I talked to the breathlesswoman in front of me and again realizedthat not everything we model and pass onis good. If I asked this woman if shewanted her children to grow up frazzledand drained, always feeling two stepsbehind, I believe she’d have given me an

emphatic no. I could see she didn’t want it for her-self, she certainly didn’t desire it for her children andfuture grandchildren.

Some weeks are breathless. Things happen that wedidn’t plan on. People get sickand die, they move, or celebratemonumental milestones thatrequire extra planning. Someseasons of life are fuller thanothers. Farm families know theunique timetable demands toplanting and harvesting.

The danger comes when overload isn’t limited to aseason; it’s a way of life. No matter who you are weall need space to breathe and to just be instead of todo.

Claude Debussy said, “Music is the space betweenthe notes.” With space, music is a symphony insteadof cacophony. The same is true for the space in oursouls.

By SARAH JOHNSONThe Land Correspondent

“97 Orchard” was the addressof a real New York City tene-ment, filled with the bodies anddreams of immigrants from anastounding variety of places overthe course of its lifetime.

Author Jane Ziegelman, aBrooklynite who runs the city’sTenement Museum, chose thisbuilding as the backdrop for afascinating study into the immi-grants’ eating habits, in her book“97 Orchard: An Edible Historyof Five Immigrant Families inOne New York Tenement.” Byexamining what and how thesefolks ate, readers get an educa-tion about America’s past inbite-sized pieces.

The author introduces us to 97Orchard with the first family,the Glockners, hardworkingimmigrants from Germany whoeventually build (and live in) thetenement itself among theirmostly German neighbors.

Following waves of immigration from various partsof Europe, the tenement is reborn again and againwith a new set of faces, languages and cuisines: firstIrish, then German Jews, then Lithuanian Jews, andfinally, Italians. Each immigrant group brought newflavors to the American stew pot, and we follow thecharacters on their journeys to bring the best of theOld World food traditions to the New.

While German in origin, sauerkraut was consumedin America by everyone, cutting across ethnic andeconomic boundaries. Rich or poor, young or old,everybody loved sauerkraut. It was the German-American homes and eating establishments thatwere responsible for providing this item, and theytook it seriously. Sauerkraut preparations started inearly winter and lasted several weeks, creating quitea pungent atmosphere in the close quarters of thetenement.

Chopping a year’s worth of cabbage was too muchwork for most mere mortals, so housewivesdepended on the neighborhood cabbage shaver, whocarried a mandolin-like tool from door to door, shav-ing cabbage into threads for a penny a head. Thecabbage was then put in a barrel with brine andtended religiously until it was ready to eat. Sauer-kraut making was a stinky but beloved chore inthose days. The first taste of a new batch of krautwas occasion for joy and thankfulness.

A popular street figure was once the “sauerkrautman,” a walking version of today’s hot-dog cart whooffered hot sausages with (of course) kraut andpotato salad from a large, metallic, strap-on box.Eventually companies like Heinz started commer-cially producing sauerkraut, and the days of shavingand brining cabbage at home came to an end.

Simmering sauerkraut in wine and peppercorns

tenderizes and sweetens this simple cabbage concoc-tion called Boiled Sauerkraut. It pairs nicely withmashed potatoes and lots of good summer foods likegrilled brats, steaks or pork chops.Boiled Sauerkraut

Bring to a boil one cup water and one cup whitewine. Add the sauerkraut, roughly 3 cups, a few pep-percorns and a little salt. Simmer until tender.Shortly before serving, pour off the broth and stir ina few tablespoons butter. Serve as a side dish along-side mashed potatoes.

The German Jewish Gumpertz family was themodel family of another section, filled with remi-nisces of kosher kitchens similar to, but also differentfrom, the Lithuanian Jews like the Rogarshevskys,who fled Europe’s devastating poverty and anti-Semitism.

They remembered Ellis Island mostly as a place ofwondrous foods served in mountainous proportions.In the 1940s, health-conscious New Yorkers flocked towhat were called “dairy restaurants,” which servedall sorts of fancy dishes with meat substitutes,including a wide variety of traditional Jewish foodslike faux chopped liver and chicken giblets.

Here is a classic recipe from that era; surprisingly,the “liver” flavor comes from the mashed peas. It’sdelicious if you like things like pate or braun-schweiger, which meant I had to go outside my familyto find reliable taste testers. Four out of four “yums”from the Johnson neighbors.Vegetarian Chopped Liver

3 medium-sized onions, chopped3 tablespoons vegetable oil1 large can sweet peas, drained1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts2 hard-boiled eggs, choppedSauté the onion in the oil until they are soft and

golden. Mash peas with the backof a fork. Combine onion andpeas with remaining ingredientsand chop by hand until you havethe desired consistency. If youlike, you can use a food processor,but be careful not to over-process. Season with salt and agenerous dose of freshly groundblack pepper.

The final immigrant group at97 Orchard was the Italians, rep-resented by the Baldizzi family.Italian cookery is uber-familiarto most Americans today, and it’sbecause these immigrants flat-out refused to give up their garlic,tomato sauce and pastas. I per-sonally want to thank them fortheir stubbornness. Fine desserts,too, were on the menu, such asthis almond brittle that’s got justa hint of lemon.Croccante (Almond Brittle)

3 cups blanched sliced almonds2 cups sugar1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil1 lemon, cut in halfPreheat oven to 400 F. Liberally grease a baking

tray with the vegetable oil and set aside. Spreadalmonds on a second tray and toast in hot oven,until golden, about 5 minutes. Heat sugar in aheavy-bottomed saucepan and cook until sugar hascompletely melted. Add almonds and stir. Pour hotmixture onto greased baking tray, using the cut sideof the lemon to spread evenly. Allow to cool andbreak into pieces.

Even though the Irish were the second immigrantgroup to move into 97 Orchard, I saved them for lastin this review because their story seems particu-larly sad. Having survived starvation conditions forgenerations, the Irish immigrants did not possessmany culinary skills or old family recipes. If hiredas kitchen help — and many were — the Irishdomestics had to be taught from the ground up. InIreland they had used outdoor peat fires to cook on,and knew few techniques beyond boiling, so theireducation included the use of stoves and the prepa-ration of everything besides potatoes and oatmeal.

The point being: You can’t have a great culinarytradition if there’s nothing to eat. This book leavesyour mind as well as your mouth with something tochew on.

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondents Tim King (story) and Jan King (photo)

King of Fish

Garrison, Minn.

The walleye is Minnesota’s King of Fish.Like kings of olden times, our King Fish

has two capitals. Baudette, in the FarNorth, is the Walleye Capital of the World.So, one would imagine, the Walleye Kingrules the walleye world from Baudettewhen he is in residence in that fair town onthe banks of Lake of the Woods. However,Garrison, on the shores of Mille Lacs, isalso the Walleye Capital of the World.

Humans in both towns have erected stat-ues to the Walleye King. A plaque below thewalleye icon at Garrison says that PaulBunyan caught this walleye. That’s nottrue. Don’t be taken in. Both sculptures aregifts to the humans from the Walleye King.

Each year the Walleye King also givesMinnesotans the gift of 3.8 million poundsof his smaller cousins. Minnesotans eatmore of this flaky white-meated fish, whichis actually a perch and not a pike, than thepeople of any other state in this U.S. of A.

Most of these cousins are caught in thestate’s big walleye factory lakes of MilleLacs, Lake of the Woods and Win-nibigoshish. Those lakes have the perfectcombination of depth and habitat to pro-duce millions of pounds of wild walleye.

If you wish to reap some of the WalleyeKing’s bounty, the basics are fairly simple. It’sall about the eyes. Walleye’s whitish eyes aredesigned to see in limited light or somewhatmurky water. So, at night, they move intofairly shallow waters to feed. During the daythey go dimmer and deeper — to 15 to 25 feetor more, depending on the water clarity.Windy, choppy days are good walleye fishingbecause the waves filter the bright light andallow the light-sensitive fish to rise from thedepths.

Everybody loves catching a stringer ofwalleye. Everybody dreams of landing a tro-phy. Minnesota’s record whopper walleyewas pulled from the Seagull River where itenters Saganaga Lake on the edge of theBoundary Waters wilderness. It weighed 17pounds, 8 ounces and measured 35.8 incheslong. That’s a big fish! But the biggest-everwalleye weighed 25 pounds. It was caughtin Tennessee waters. Saskatchewan claimsthe walleye as its Provincial Fish and hasan 18.3-pound record walleye.

If Minnesota intends to keep two WalleyeCapitals of the World, our fishermen shouldstop eating so much and start catchingsomething big.
