Did this year’s drought conditions create toxicity issues? Turn to Page 10A to find out.

With thunder rumbling as I write this “LandMinds” from my Renville County farm home, Iam reminded of the good fortune being shared bymost Minnesota farm families this year.

Crop reporting experts, both private and theU.S. Department of Agriculture, continue talk-ing declining yields across much of America’sfarm belt. But not so here in Minnesota. In factwhen the final figures are released I won’t besurprised if Minnesota leads the nation in aver-age corn yields per acre.

Will we do 150? Or maybe even 160? Thosefigures seem acceptable to many farmers I’mtalking with these days. Perhaps Washing-ton, with less than 3 million acres croplandand over half of that acreage irrigated, willhave a higher average corn yield. However, it appearsMinnesota will beat Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, even heavily-irrigated Nebraska, the perennial power houses in cornproduction.

I believe it was four years ago that Minnesotaderailed Iowa when we averaged 174 bushels per acreand Iowa did 173 bu./acre.County fair observers

On the Friday of the recent Renville County (Minn.) Fair,a retired couple from Minneapolis stopped to visit with mywife in the 4-H building where she was handling the“administrative details” of the 4-H exhibitors.

The 4-H building is a spacious structure that literallygets jammed with 4-H exhibits, 4-H youth and 4-H par-ents during the three-day run of the county fair.

Now what’s interesting is that this retired couplespends much of their summer visiting various countyfairs around Minnesota. As my wife explained, “Neitherhave an agricultural background but they say this istheir annual opportunity to get ‘refreshed’ on what’shappening in rural Minnesota.”

Apparently these two are also very observant. “So farwe’ve visited eight county fairs. We’ve stayed longer atyour county fair than any we have visited. Your 4-Hshow is really good, both in the livestock buildings andhere in your crafts and exhibit area. And your peopleare so friendly, especially the 4-H kids whom we like totalk with.

“Here we enjoyed a delicious pork chop sandwichserved by your county pork producers. At the dairystand we met your county dairy princess and had supermalted milks. We note also that your fairgrounds are sovery neat,” they shared with my wife.

The Renville County Master Gardeners deserve thecredit for the neat grounds. Over the years they havesupervised the planting of many flowers; also speciallandscaping including a small fish-pond with flowingwater, colored fish, and delightful flowers and vegeta-tion sprouting through the landscape rocks.Let’s ride Minnesota

Also adding to life’s uniqueness, my wife and I did

some volunteer work at a new event involv-ing motorcycles.

“Let’s Ride Minnesota” wrapped up itsday-long agenda at the Renville CountyFairgrounds Aug. 18 with a special memo-rial ceremony honoring area military per-sonnel killed in action in our two latest con-flicts, Afghanistan and Iraq.

As you motorcycle riders know so well,when there is a riding event involving fallencomrades, biker love and generosity is fullblown.

This first-time event had about 240bikes. I recognized a few Minnesotafarmer friends that I’ve met in my travels

with The Land. Lots of farmers and farmwomen wheel these rigs across rural Minnesota wher-ever bike rallies occur. Of course Sturgis, S.D., is on theagenda for virtually all bikers.

Our committee handled registrations of the incomingbikers. A perfect day and tremendous cordiality amongthis cadre of men and women.

Lots of artistic expression could be found on the arms,legs and necks of some of these riders, so gawking wasdone by many. The highlight of the morning was theappearance of Ed Newberg, Hector, Minn.,-area cropsprayer who also has his fun air craft, a four-passengerhelicopter. Ed had been designated to “lead” the bikerswhen they departed on three designated rides through-out this west central Minnesota area.

When Ed’s helicopter cranked up from the Olivia air-port, fastened to the landing strut was a huge Americanflag, maybe 12 feet by 24 feet. Flying over the bikerswith Old Glory fluttering against that blue sky was adecided thrill for all.

Funds raised through Let’s Ride Minnesota go to theTim Orth Foundation which provides financial assis-tance to area families who have extraordinary medicalexpenses for their children; funds were also directed tovarious veterans groups for veterans needing specialhelp. Hearts and billfolds were in the right place Aug.18 in Renville County.Is Washington listening?

I’ll wrap up my ramblings with a question more andmore people are asking, “Does Washington even listenanymore?”

The incredible low ranking of this Congress reallytells the story. America has virtually lost complete faithwith a Congress that simply ignores that simple word“compromise.” It’s either my way or no way seems thepointless stance of most elected officials today.

Yes, the Senate passed a farm bill way back on June21. But the House isn’t apparently even close on gettinga farm bill through their chamber. If they did, then itwould be the inevitable wrangling of the so-called con-

Ramblings from Renville County

LAND MINDS

By Dick Hagen

See MINDS, pg. 4A

We have long proclaimed,and make no apology for, ourdeep love affair with num-bers.

Since figures backstop fact,numbers are the meat andpotatoes and forks and knivesof journalism. They are, in aword, beautiful, and, like truebeauty, they can take yourbreath away.

For example, in the faintlight of early Aug. 10, mydaily newspaper reportedthat Tom Laughlin wouldmark his 81st birthday thatday.

Get out of here, Billy Jack is 81?Good grief, that makes me ... well, a lot older than

we all were when, in 1971, Laughlin, playing BillyJack on film, used his bare feet to kick the tar out ofbad guys and the bigotry out of injustice, two itemsthat never seem to age.

Nor does money in politics. In mid-August, PoliticoDaybook, a daily e-mail newsletter on all thingspolitical, ran a short item that illustrated the tinyimpact one citizen with a skinny checkbook has onpolitics today compared with modern fat cats.

Recently, a librarian in Lexington, Ky., after writ-ing a $100 check to the Obama reelection campaign,said she thought her $100 had “just as much worth”as the million-dollar checks now being tossed intothe estimated, $1 billion presidential campaign.

Hah, snorted Politico.In fact, “It would take 100,000 (of you) — nearly

all the registered Democrats in Lexington — giving$100 apiece just to match the $10 million thatcasino billionaire Sheldon Adelson and his wifedropped into the super PAC boosting (Republicanpresidential nominee, Mitt) Romney in a single dayin June.”

But the $10 million man only gets one vote, right?No one has felt this summer’s heat and drought

more than America’s farmers and ranchers. The dev-astation caused by both won’t be known until afterthis year’s baked and broiled crops are harvested.We do, however, have some initial numbers on justhow hot this summer was.

For instance, according to weather watchers,June’s temperatures broke or tied 3,215 recordhighs across the nation, and that oven of a monthfollowed the warmest May ever for the NorthernHemisphere.

May, in fact, was the 327th consecutive month —that’s over 27 years of months — that the earth’saverage temperature topped the 20th century’saverage temperature.

Even more incredible, wrote Bill McKibben in amid-July piece that included the above information,is that the “odds of ... simple chance” where this red-hot record might occur in nature are 1 in 3.7 x 10 tothe 99th.

And that’s a number “considerably larger than thenumber of stars in the universe,” noted McKibben.

Iowans are making a dent in this carbon-fueledproblem; 20 percent of all electricity generated inthe Hawkeye State comes courtesy of wind. Accord-ing to numbers released by the Iowa Wind EnergyAssociation, clean, free wind also generates 7,000jobs statewide and nearly $15 million in annuallease payments to local farmers.

All could be blown away by politics because contin-ued expansion of the green technology turns almostentirely on federal tax credits that expire twomonths after the presidential election.

That means that wind — rather than hot air —could be the deciding factor in who wins Iowa, aswing state, in November and maybe the electionbecause one, the President, favors extending thewind credits the other, Mitt, wants ended.

More numbers?Recently, while sifting

through tax return mate-rial for the National Cat-tlemen’s Beef Associationand the Humane Societyof the United States, onefigure in each group’s2009 IRS Form 990 leaptfrom the page: what each

paid their top dog.The HSUS, the well-funded ($100 million annual

budget), big (11 million members), rich ($200 mil-lion in assets) animal welfare group paid its CEO,Wayne Pacelle, $234,026.

The NCBA, however, with one-tenth of one per-cent of HSUS membership, one-tenth of its savings,and a non-checkoff connected budget far under $10million, paid its top hand, Forrest Roberts,$336,584 in salary and $19,942 “other compensa-tion” in 2009.

See what I mean about numbers being forks andknives of journalism.

Well, at least knives.Alan Guebert’s “Farm and Food File” is published

MINDS, from pg. 2Aference committee of both chambers.

Why isn’t this farm bill really referred to as the foodbill with passing reference to a few issues relating toagriculture? About 80 percent of the proposed five-year, half-trillion dollar legislation goes for the foodand nutrition program called the Supplemental Nutri-tion Assistance Program, or SNAP. Direct payments tofarmers are history and most producers seem OK withthat. Federal Crop Insurance programs will see somechanges so much remains to be done.

Suffice to say it sounds like there will be post-elec-tion activity for this next farm bill. Obviously evenmembers of Congress who know little or nothingabout agriculture and neither do their constituents,seem concerned that farm legislation talk mightaffect their upcoming elections.

At Farmfest Dave Ladd, governmentaffairs manager of AgriBank, said to me,“the more time I spend inside the D.C. belt-

line, the more I sense an increasing disconnectbetween them and rural America.” He suggested thatsome members of Congress apparently took big bitesout of the apple but with the growing disconnectback home they don’t care to finish the apple.

This ongoing fracas so much recalls the commentby Ronald Reagan who simply said, “Government isnot the solution to our problems. Government is theproblem.”

I believe it was Reagan who also suggested theproblem with socialism is that you soon run out ofother people’s money.

Editor’s note: DebbieMcEachern of Shakopee,Minn., submitted thispoem written by hermother, Mildred Bruns ofRenville, Minn..

Mildred passed away inJune of this year, andDebbie thought that read-ers of The Land wouldenjoy reading the poemher mother had writtenover 50 years ago abouther three sons at the time.Debbie provided the background

information for her family’sfarming operation.

❖

Leonard and MildredBruns started dairy farm-ing in 1951 with fiveheifers, milked by hand ona farm near Renville,Minn.

Together, they raisedseven children — five boysand two girls — and laterhelped raise many grand-

children and great-grandchildren.

Leonard and four of his sons — Den-nis, Duane, David and Darrell laterformed Bruns Farms Inc. Through theyears, the herd grew significantly, andthey expanded the milk parlor to a 16-stall herringbone in 1980.

In 1975, Leonard and Mildred wereamong the first group of sugar beetgrowers that helped form SouthernMinnesota Beet Sugar Cooperative inRenville of which Leonard was afounding member on the first board ofdirectors.

Leonard passed away in 1996.Today, brothers Duane Bruns, David

Bruns and Darrell Bruns farm 2,300acres of corn, soybeans, sugar beetsand alfalfa, as well as milking 320

cows three times daily.When Mildred passed away June 17,

2012, at her home, she was still activeand living on the farm at the age of87.

Her role on the farm was a big one.Over the years, countless luncheswere made and sent to the fields. Hotbreakfast sandwiches and coffee sentto the barn for the early shift of milk-ers. Up until her passing, she talliedthe timecards for payroll every twoweeks.

She enjoyed crossword puzzles, read-ing books on her Kindle Fire, crochet-ing and watching birds in her feedersfrom the kitchen window.

We have three boys at ourhouse,

We are proud as can be,But, oh, the circus they createIs something you should see.

They shout and fight andwrestle

And play upon the stairs,Of course, behind the daven-

portIs a hiding place for bears.

Don’t you know that pots andpans

Are ’specially made for boys?The covers bright and shiny ...Can make the grandest noise!

We have no dolls at our houseBut things are scattered too;Cars and trucks and tractorsAll help obscure the view.

And when I try to bake a cakeI almost need a ladder,I have a hard time tellingWhich is boy and which is bat-

ter.

I used to think a housewife’slife

Meant highly polished floors

But now I know one main con-cern

Is keeping hinges on thedoors.

Their energy is boundless,

They’re always on the march,

You may find them in an appletree

Or swinging from the arch.

They always find the puddles

And come with greasy smears

But what makes it so veryhard

To wash the face and ears?

The animals around the farm

Are lucky if not mangled,

But what are tails on kittensfor

If not used for a handle?

Wouldn’t Trade ’EmBy Millie Bruns

It’s amazing what can happen when some-one in the family utters the words, “We’ll becoming up to visit next week.”

It could send some family members run-ning into the night like refugees. But unlessthose words come from Dr. Kevorkian, yoursecond cousin whose ex-wife is now yourwife — or even from someone from local lawenforcement — it can be a cause of great cel-ebration.

We experienced that this summer as myyoungest brother and his family from south-ern Arkansas surprised us all with a whirl-wind visit to Iowa before their kids returned to school.

One of my older brothers said he would like to host acook-out in honor of the brother who had returned. I’mthe fourth of seven children, and the thought that sevenkids, their spouses and kids and our mother could gatheron 24 hours’ notice seemed crazy — unless it was a fam-ily emergency or “Bonanza” was on TV. Prodigal son ornot, it was cause for celebration. And though no onekilled the fatted calf for it, we all made merry in a muchless flashy fashion for this family gala.

My brother is a home builder and also farms near thegreat city of Kingsley, Iowa, so arriving at his farm tohear music emanating from his construction site radiowas not a surprise. A little further into the backyard wasthe makeshift table — a couple of regulation farm saw-horses with a piece of plywood tossed onto the top. Itmade a great food table.

The grill — the epicenter of the gluttony that wouldoccur — was next to the food table, waiting to do itsthing.

As people arrived, hugs were exchanged, a baby washanded around to waiting arms (there’s never enough babyto go around — we tried to take care of that a few years agoby having two at a time), and we caught up on what every-one was doing. We got reacquainted with our growingArkansas nieces and we heard about the things they aredoing. All of this while the dog was running around greeting

people, brown-nosing us (or maybe wet-nosingus) to see if we would share our food when thetime came.

As all of this was going on, my brother disap-peared for a time. Soon we saw a small Kubotatractor and loader round the corner behind hishouse and come into the backyard, and in theloader was all of the food and condiments thathe was supplying for the occasion. He drove itup to the sawhorse table, and unloaded thethings we needed — meat, condiments, table-ware, beverages, grilling tools — the works,and the grilling and outdoor dining began.

As the evening went on, I told my brother he had quitea method for getting the necessary items out to the pic-nic area, and that it certainly beat carrying armloads ofthings to the site. For guys I know and live with, any job— no matter what it is — is much easier to do if there isa motor involved in some way.

He laughed as he said, “Yea, a loader tractor is the bestbackyard barbecue accessory there is.”

And I had to admit, he had a point. It saved a lot ofwork in preparation and clean up — though I wouldnever admit to anyone that it took a tractor and loader tofeed our family that night.

People would talk.

My brother, a grandfather himself and a kid at heart,had a large sandbox ready to go for his toddler grandson.He made it out of two heavy equipment rubber trackshooked together and filled it with sand and all the necessi-ties. That’s how a construction guy thinks, and his grand-son had a great time there.

After dark, we all hung around the fire pit with theback yard all lit up, enjoying the company and wishingthe night wasn’t going by so quickly.

The younger Arkansas girl (age 10) was having agreat time on the backyard tire swing even as daylightfell into darkness. Apparently she felt loved by manyand perhaps even thought of her grandpa (now inheaven), because she called my brother (her uncle)“Grandpa Jerry” as he continued to push her on theswing. He just grinned and laughed quietly.

You can’t pick your family, but you gotta love kids whosay what’s in their hearts in their own simple way. Theworld would be a better place if we could all do that ...and if we could all see loader tractors as handy back-yard barbecue accessories, as my farmer brother did.

Sometimes I think we women make too much workout of things.

TABLE TALK

By Karen Schwaller

By KEVIN SCHULZThe Land Editor

Sarah Marketon ispassionate about theswine industry, andagriculture in gen-eral.

“I just want to tellthe agriculturestory,” she said out-side the Swine Building on the firstday of the Minnesota State Fair. “Iwant to help people understand whatfarmers do and why they do it. I wantto help people trust farmers. … givethem a better understanding of wheretheir food comes from.”

Marketon of Howard Lake, Minn., is

the newest voice for Minnesota’s porkproducers as the recently named PorkAmbassador. Other than serving porkchops at an open house for MunsonFeeds in Howard Lake, working at theState Fair was her first assignment asthe state’s pork ambassador.

Her timing could have been a littlebetter. A few days prior to the start ofthe State Fair it was revealed that aswine flu virus was present in thestate’s swine herd. This revelationstirred debate whether or not hogswould or should be welcomed on thefairgrounds.

Pigs were allowed to come to the fair,and Marketon said the swine flu virusscare didn’t appear to be keeping the

crowds away from the Swine Barn tosee the resident sow and piglets andthe show hogs. “Surprisingly, I haven’theard much from people about theswine flu,” she said late afternoon ofthe first day of the fair. She wasn’texpecting the flu virus to be a problem,if people only followed the simple rulesposted at the barn’s entrance.

“Direct contact with an infected pigis the way you get this virus,” she said.

According to a report by MinnesotaPublic Radio News, state health offi-cials suspect that three visitors to theState Fair caught H1N2, a variation ofswine flu. Minnesota Department ofHealth warnings had been postedaround the Swine Barn in response to

H3N2, another swine flu variationthat has been linked to illnesses in 300people across the country.

Marketon was ready for whateverquestions came her way from fair-goers. She actually had a primer, hav-ing worked the Miracle of Birth Centerat past State Fairs. “That’s where Ideveloped my passion to tell the agstory,” she said. “People are so curious.”

That curiosity lead Marketon todevelop her winning essay for the porkambassador competition, “Pigs HavePuppies?” “This one lady came up tome at the Miracle of Birth Center andshe asked when the pig was going to

Christine Reitsma, an 18-year-oldcollege student from Sauk Centre,Minn., was crowned the 59th PrincessKay of the Milky Way in an eveningceremony at the Minnesota State Fair-grounds on Aug. 22.

Reitsma, the first Princess Kay to hailfrom Stearns County, will serve as theofficial goodwill ambassador for morethan 4,000 Minnesota dairy farmers.

Christine is the daughter of Paul andCarolyn Reitsma of Sauk Centre, andwill attend the University of Min-nesota Twin Cities this fall studying

applied economics.County dairy princesses from through-

out Minnesota competed for the PrincessKay of the Milky Way title.

Victoria Haler of Waconia, represent-ing Carver County, and Kelsey Muss-man of Claremont, representing SteeleCounty, were selected as runners-up.Mussman was also named Miss Conge-niality. Scholarships were awarded toReitsma, Mussman and Laura Rosen-hammer of Sleepy Eye, representingBrown County.

One of Reitsma’sfirst duties asPrincess Kay was tosit in a rotatingcooler for about sixhours on the openingday of the MinnesotaState Fair to haveher likeness sculptedin a 90-pound block of butter. Each ofthe other finalists also had her like-ness carved in butter during the fair.

This year marked butter sculptorLinda Christensen’s 41st year carvingthe Princess Kay of the Milky Waywinner and finalists at the MinnesotaState Fair.

Throughout her year-long reign asPrincess Kay of the Milky Way,Reitsma will make public appearanceshelping consumers make a connectionwith Minnesota dairy farm familieswho are dedicated to producing whole-

some milk while caring for their ani-mals and natural resources.

Princess Kay candidates are judgedon their general knowledge of the dairyindustry, communication skills, person-ality and enthusiasm for dairy promo-tion. The Midwest Dairy Associationsponsors the Princess Kay programwith funds provided by dairy farmers.

Midwest Dairy Association is a non-profit organization that provides con-sumers with information about thenutrition and wholesomeness of dairyfoods, and conducts research and pro-motional programs. ❖

AMBASSADOR, from pg. 8Ahave its puppies,” Marketon recalled.“I think she was just unsure what thebaby pigs are called.”

Marketon’s passion for the swineindustry may come as a surprise tosome, including her family. You see,this 2012 Howard Lake-Waverly-Win-sted High School graduate did nothave pigs until her freshman year inhigh school. “I never showed pigs, I justgot pigs for an SOE project in FFA. ...my dad is surprised at what I’m doing.”

She accomplished her state FFAdegree and is hoping to achieve herAmerican Farmer Degree in thefuture. She also ran for state FFAoffice this spring. Though she didn’tget in she’s thinking of giving itanother shot next spring.

Though there is no spe-cific time requirement ornumber of appearances,Marketon is taking hernew title seriously. Sheplans on splitting hertime between the OinkBooth and the promotionsbooth all 12 days of theState Fair. “I’m going to begoing to school up here(the University of Min-nesota) so why not spendsome time up here beforethen,” she said.

She realizes that thespreading of ag knowl-edge won’t end after theState Fair. “I’m sure therewill be a number of Uni-versity (of Minnesota)students who don’t knowmuch about agriculture,so I will continue to sharethe message.”

She is planning onmajoring in agricultural

education with a minor in swine andinternational agriculture.

Marketon will have help spreadingthe pork word this year as LloydLesmeister of Stevens County andMatthew Welter of Olmsted Countywere named first and second runner-up, respectively.

Lesmeister sees his new ambassadorteam as building on what the previousyear’s team of Katie Winslow, RyanStrobel and Natalie Johnson started.“They did a great job, and we can justdo more of the same thing,” he said.

As Marketon pointed out, and Welteragreed, consumer education is a bigportion of the pork ambassador’s job.“More and more, the public is furtherremoved from the farm,” he said. “It isour job to try and educate and informthe public about our industry.” ❖

Because of this challenging crop season nitratesin corn silage are getting headlines. It might be abit of an overreaction.

“I don’t think it’s a huge issue. Potentially it couldbe, so best advice is to get a lab test. It’s not anexpensive test and obviously your own peace of mindis important,” said Jim Salfer, University of Min-nesota regional Extension educator at St. Cloud.

He describes two situations where nitrates are poten-

tial problems. If your corn is really short there couldbe an issue because nitrates tend to accumulate atthe base of the corn plant. But if corn gets waist highand taller, it’s usually not a problem, Salfer said.

“Where nitrates are a problem is when the soil is fullof nitrogen and you get good rains ahead of cutting.Suddenly that corn plant is gobbling up a bunch ofthat nitrogen. Also if you’ve got some really droughtycorn and it rains just before you go the field, those cornplants again start sucking up all that ‘unused’ nitrogen.”

When corn goes through the fermentation process the nitrate levels decrease rather substantially. Sosimply letting the silage sit for a few days beforefeeding usually solves the problem. “That said how-ever if you green chop this droughty corn you poten-tially are looking at a nitrate issue.”

Salfer said that across Minnesota he doesn’t seenitrates as a big issue. Cutting your silage higher makesa difference too since nitrates tend to accumulate athigher rates in the bottom portion of the corn stalk.

Have the extreme variations in heat and moistureproduced some different mycotoxins this year? “Realhot weather can generate aflatoxins, but that’s a rarityin Minnesota. It’s difficult to predict whether we’llhave more or less mycotoxin issues. But any time thecorn plant is under stress you typically may have moretoxins. Mycotoxins are produced by mold so you got tohave environments conducive to mold growth and realdry weather isn’t conducive to molds,” Salfer said.

Mycotoxins can create a variety of health problemsfor animals. In swine and equine, there is a higher sen-sitivity to contaminated feed, and feed avoidance is acommon symptom of mycotoxicoses in these animals.

In poultry, egg shell quality, feed efficiency and immu-nity are affected. Ruminant animals can bear relativelyhigher mycotoxin challenges. Many mycotoxins havebeen shown to compromise milk production, reproduc-tion and immunity, especially in high-yielding cows.

According to Swamy Haladi, part of Alltech’s Myco-toxin Management Team, this year’s drought is the pre-cursor for several different types of mycotoxins.Aspergillus and some of the fusarium molds such asfusarium verticilloides and fusarium proliferatum willbe the most prevalent. This can lead to production ofaflatoxins and fumonisins in addition to routine inci-dences of vomitoxin and zearalenone in U.S. and Cana-dian feedstuffs. Silages will have even bigger challenges.

“Silage that is too dry, less than 65 percent moisture,will not pack well,” Haladi said. “This situationincreases the chances of penicillum molds. As a resultwe can expect several silage-specific mycotoxins.Thesesilage-borne mycotoxins can act as antibiotics and killbeneficial microbes in the rumen. The net result islowered productivity and metabolic disorders.”

Alvaro Garcia, South Dakota State UniversityExtension dairy specialist, cautions about arbitrarilyassigning a nutritive value of drought-stressed cornbetween 70 and 100 percent of normal corn silage.He said this is too wide a range.

“If producers or nutritionists were to conserva-tively balance on the lower end (70-percent area)and the quality was higher, they would overspendthrough unnecessary supplementation,” Garcia said.

Cover story: Nitrates may be an issue in corn silageIf producers or nutritionists were toconservatively balance on the lowerend (70-percent area) and the qualitywas higher, they would overspendthrough unnecessary supplementation.

See NITRATES, pg. 11A

Tractors are themain cause of acci-dental deaths onfarms.

Over the years,many farmers, farmworkers and othersliving on or visitingfarms have beenkilled or seriouslyinjured when falling from moving tractors, beingrun over by tractors, or being crushed when atractor rolls sideways or backwards.Spot the hazard

Regularly check for hazards relating to trac-tors, attached implements and field conditions.Hazardous areas could include mechanical parts,operator training, other people, work procedures,unsafe jacking, climatic conditions, chemicalsused, uneven terrain and any other potentialcauses of an injury or a hazardous incident. Keepa record to ensure identified hazards areassessed and controlled.Assess the risk

Once a potential hazard has been identified,assess the likelihood of an injury or hazardousincident occurring.

For example, risk to children playing near atractor will vary, depending on what the tractoroperator is doing, how close they are to the trac-tor, and whether the operator knows they arethere. Consider ways of minimizing risk.

Take the proper steps toward safety around tractors

NITRATES, from pg. 10AThe SDSU Dairy Science Department is offering tohelp South Dakota dairy farmers determine the realfeed value of their corn silage by offering a freeanalysis of their silage.

For South Dakota dairy farmers, the SDSU lab willanalyze samples for nutrient quality as well as quanti-tative nitrate content. This free testing only ran untilAug. 20. SDSU will later provide a publication avail-able to all livestock producers on this information.

So what’s a good sample? Sampling protocol reads:Take fresh samples, collecting 15 to 20 handfuls ofmaterial into a bucket, mix thoroughly, submit a 1 to2 1/2 pound sample in a plastic bag. Remove as muchair as possible and seal tightly.

Cool or freeze sample until mailing. Avoid mailingsamples over a weekend and holidays. Salfer saidthere are several labs in Minnesota doing this work.Check with your local Extension office, or moredirectly check with the marketing firm buying yourmilk. Your milk hauler may even provide the sam-pling kit. For more information on this topic, searchonline for “nitrate issues in corn silage.” ❖

Silage samplingdetermines realfeed value

Ways to improve safety include ...• Reading and following safety proce-dures in the manufacturer’s manual.• Ensuring an approved cab or roll-over protective structure is fitted.• Fitting and using a seatbelt on trac-tors with ROPS.• Fitting a fall-on protective structureon tractors at risk from falling objects.• Fitting a seat with side restraints and

a back rest to reduce the risk of back strain.• Wearing hearing protection and rememberingthat not all tractor cabs are soundproof.• Keeping children away from tractors andmachinery.• Removing starter keys when tractors are notin use.• Having an up-to-date maintenance schedule.• Following safe maintenance and jacking pro-cedures.• Ensuring the operator is properly trained foreach type of tractor work.• Always mounting and dismounting on a trac-tor’s left side in order to avoid the controls.• Adjusting the seat so all controls are safelyand comfortably within reach.• Keeping all guards in place, including thepower take-off.• Operating the self-starter from the operatorposition only.• Never carrying passengers.

When operating a tractor ...• Drive at speeds slow enough to retain controlover unexpected events.• Reduce speed before turning or applying brakes.• Watch out for ditches, logs, rocks, depres-sions and embankments.• On steep slopes, without a trailed implement,reverse up for greater safety.• Engage the clutch gently at all times, espe-cially when going uphill or towing.• Use as wide a wheel track as possible on hill-sides and sloping ground.• Descend slopes cautiously in low gear, usingthe motor as a brake.• Never mount or dismount a moving tractor.• Ensure the park brake is on and operatingeffectively before dismounting.• Take short breaks regularly when working longhours.When towing implements ...• Fit attachments according to the manufac-turer’s instructions.• Always attach implements to the draw bar orthe mounting points provided by the manufac-turer.• Never alter, modify or raise the height of thedraw bar, unless provided for by the manufac-turer.• Regularly check safety pins on towed lift-wingimplements to ensure they are not worn.• Ensure all guards on towed implements are in

place before operating.• Never hitch above the center line of the rearaxle, around the axle housing, or to the toplink pin.• Never adjust or work on implements whilethey are in motion.• Never attach implements unless the PTOshaft is guarded.• When parking, always lower the three-pointlinkage and towed implement.To avoid strain injury ...• Adjust the tractor seat for back support andcomfort.• When buying a tractor, ensure seating issafe and comfortable.• Check seat height, seat depth, back restheight and angle, fore and aft movement, seattilt, firm padding, partial pivoting (if you haveto spend long periods looking behind you),and vibration-absorbing suspension.• Dismount every hour or so, and spend five to10 minutes doing something active.• Plan for your next tractor to include suitablylow steps, hand grips, adequate doorway andcab space, and a safe mounting platform.• Dismount by climbing down — not jumpingdown — and use each provided foot and handhold.

By CAROLYN VAN LOHThe Land Correspondent

President Lincoln signed the MorrillAct on July 2, 1862. This milestonelegislation granted federal land forstates to establish educational insti-tutions that would teach agriculture,mechanic arts and military tacticsalong with classical studies. Thenation has fought several wars andagriculture has changed drasticallysince then, but the University of Min-nesota, a land grant university, mustutilize modern technology to meetcurrent challenges of agriculture.

A U of M panel at Farmfest, “Inno-vation in Agriculture — Opportuni-ties from the University,” addressedthe university’s role in agriculturetoday. Jerry Groskreutz, farm directorof KDHL Radio, moderated the dis-cussion. President Eric Kaler; BrianBuhr, head of the Department ofApplied Economics; Mike White, headof the Department of Animal Science;and Ira Muscovice, director of the

Rural HealthResearch Center, rep-resented the univer-sity.

Kaler told the agri-cultural audience,“We’re here to teamwith you — to delivervalue that you need.”Since the U of M is theeighth largest public research univer-sity in the nation, he said, “Minnesotais equipped to become the Silicon Val-ley of the food industry.”

The president compared the univer-sity to a team sport. “We have a goodteam of deans.” The budget drives theuniversity to be efficient.

Taking a cue from the panel’s topic,Buhr said, “The mother of innovationis necessity, and the father surely isinvestment capital.” The university isusing technology to get the highestpossible return. However, it takes 18 to25 years to realize a return on the

investment.In spite of the

decline in researchdollars, White saidthat the university issuccessful because“we did invest 20years ago.” He urgedthe audience to “letpoliticians know the

university must be a priority” for fund-ing. He cited the example of the uni-versity’s organic dairy, the largest ofany research institution in the coun-try.

Addressing online agriculturecourses, White said, “there are realopportunities, but also pitfalls.” Hewent on to say, “It’s part of the future.”Today’s students are comfortable withtechnology, so the university needs tocatch up with them and offer moreonline courses. Muscovice added thatthe school of health already has 60courses online.

“Students get to be taught by expertsfrom Texas A&M as well as otherplaces,” White said. He also empha-sized the high quality of online educa-tion.

Muscovice stressed the need forhealth care professionals in ruralareas and urged the audience to tellthe federal government that “ruralain’t small urban.” He emphasizedopportunities coming for insurancethrough employers and governmentprograms because of the new healthcare program.

The federal government must alsorealize that health professionals don’twant a two-tier system. Rural peopledeserve access to the same high-qual-ity health care that metropolitan resi-dents enjoy. Muscovice believes theremust be team-based care using tech-nology to eliminate duplication of serv-ices, although this teamwork mayresult in lower reimbursements for

Getting the farm billdone and some reliefprograms to farmersseverely hurt in thisyear’s drought are thetwo biggest issues fac-ing corn growers, bothstate and nationally.

At least that’s the impression of JohnMages, Belgrade, Minn., producer andMinnesota Corn Growers Associationpresident.

“This issue on renewable fuels is bignow, too. I think the market will sort oftake care of things. If corn keeps get-ting higher, ethanol plants will startcurtailing production or even shuttingdown,” Mages said in an interview atFarmfest.

He clearly stated that the corn grow-ers don’t want to see a temporarywaiver on the 10 percent RenewableFuels Standard program. “We simplywant to see the system work the wayit’s set up to work.”

He too has some frustration over thetalking about the farm bill when reallyit’s more of a food and nutrition pro-gram. He recalled when he and otherswere in U.S. Department of Agricul-ture Secretary Tom Vilsack’s office andVilsack told his visiting farmers thathe fines his staff people every timethey say “farm bill” in his presence.

Food and Security Bill is the properlabel and Mages agreed that because offood’s vital importance to the country’ssecurity that is indeed a proper label.

“Here in America we continue tohave some of the cheapest food world-wide and because we feed so much ofthe world besides our own population,food security is vital and that meansfarm programs that protect farmers intheir food production business.”

Today crop insurance is the biggestsafety net for farmers Mages said. He

points out the obvious that farmersdon’t need help when times are good.“Hopefully that’s the direction of thenext farm bill with emphasis on theright kind of insurance programs tocover in the tough times.”

His area is one of the really good cropoutlook areas of Minnesota. “We’vebeen blessed with timely rains much ofthis growing season. It looks now likethis could be one of our better har-vests, both corn and soybeans.”

Membership in Minnesota CornGrowers Association continues strong.Just a couple years back the MCGAwas the largest state association in thenation. Iowa got into gear and now hasabout 600 more members than Min-nesota which currently has some 8,400members.

“Essentially free membership if yougrow corn and agree to your local eleva-tor doing the deduct. But also great ben-efits for land owners simply because ofthe strong economy generated the pastthree to four years. Various programs ofthe Corn Growers be it research fundedprogram, renewable fuels efforts, eventhe special emphasis on foreign exportsshould be showing land owners that theMCGA membership is indeed a goodplace to be,” Mages said.

Due to the current economy world-wide, he understands export marketsmay start slowing. But there is suchtremendous demand in China, South-east Asia, Korea and Japan that he’s

certain demand will staystrong.

A bigger question iswill there be enough U.S.corn to meet thedemand? West Coast ter-minals, especially in Ore-gon and Washingtonkeep expanding theircapacity to load andmove grain simplybecause the demandkeeps increasing.

Also with ethanol production nowmeeting the RFS needs, in fact slightly

exceeding, Mages suggests that live-stock feeders will eventually see extracorn and at more competitive prices.If the ethanol supply-demand equa-tion gets in balance should a 15-per-cent ethanol blend become a logicalmove?

“Sure, down the road we’d like to seethat happen. That much more ethanolmeans that much more DDG feed-stuffs. And refiners need moreethanol. It helps them meet theirclean air standards plus it keepspump prices at least 50 cents a galloncheaper I’m told,” Mages said. ❖

U of M, from pg. 14Ahealth care workers.

Buhr, who also heads the agricultureeducation department, stressed theimportance of education. He told theaudience that the university is grow-ing the education department byacquiring new faculty while working torecruit more students to the program.

Investing in highly qualified profes-sors who enhance their teaching with

the latest technology is an importantmeans of attracting students inter-ested in studying for a career in agri-culture or agribusiness. According toBuhr, a second part of the equation isinvesting in future scientists byaggressively funding graduate stu-dents.

The U of M and the agricultureindustry need each other’s support forboth of them to succeed in a worldbeing influenced by new technology. ❖

Key to invest in the future

You probably shouldn’t have orderedthe super-size fries.

That’s what you were thinking afteryou finished the last of your doublecheeseburger-add-bacon. When youordered, fries sounded good —although maybe not so many. Andyour soda, well, the word “small”needs redefining.

Nothing worse than cold fries, so youwadded them up with your sandwichwrapper, slurped the rest of your

drink, and threw everything away.

You’ll think twice about that nexttime, once you’ve read “The LastHunger Season” by Roger Thurow.

Andrew Youn is a man with seem-ingly unlimited energy.

Thurow, a journalist, met the“skinny, bespectacled ... geek fromMinnesota ” during a snowstorm inChicago , where Youn told Thurowabout the farmers he’d met in Kenya

in the early 2000s. Younexplained that Kenya’s use ofancient farming traditionsled to wanjala (hunger time)and starvation because oflack of access to modernmethods of planting.

Youn, an MBA student,had been ponderingthis, and he had anidea. Thus as bornOne Acre, a non-profitprogram that helps sub-Saharan farmers reap higheryields from their shambas througheducation, seeds and fertilizer.

Thurow, who’d also seen poverty andstarvation in Africa, was intrigued. Heasked Youn if he might follow fourfarmers for a year, through wanjalaand beyond.

As a village elder, Leonida Wanyamaneeded to set a good example for oth-ers, which is why she joined One Acre.She was amazed the first year at thebounty she reaped, but it wasn’tenough. Her husband, Peter, was illand their son, Gabriel was away atschool. School was expensive: $255 ayear.

Rasoa Wasike was so pleased withOne Acre that she inspired several oth-ers to join. But that wasn’t Rasoa’s onlyendeavor; she was lucky to find otheremployment so her wanjala wasn’tquite so severe.

Zipporah Bikiti had jeered at neigh-bors who used the One Acre methods,until she saw their lush, bountifulmaize fields. She was determined that

this wanjala — a particu-larly long, terrible one —would be her family’s last.

Francis Mamati and hiswife had a vision. They hadthree acres and their son,who owned a nearby café,had a small plot, too. Ashamba like that, properly

farmed, could createdreams.

So why,you’re asking,

should youread a book

about a bunch ofminiature farms

half a worldaway? Maybe you

won’t want to, but Iwas blown away by

it.“The Last Hunger

Season” is, indeed,about four Kenyan

farmers and the lasttime each had little more

than tea to feed their fam-ilies from January through

June. But in telling theirstories, the politics behind fixing what’swrong, and the triumph of success,Thurow also gives his readers a hugelesson in gratitude: chances are youhave food, and this book never lets youforget that.

I think you’re going to like “The LastHunger Season,” just don’t be surprisedif it makes you a little uncomfortable.Still, if you want something that’ssobering, glorious and thought-provok-ing, this book is super-sized.

A thick fog enveloped Min-nesota Department of Nat-ural Resources ConservationOfficer Bob Geving’s pickuptruck the morning of Aug. 18as he consulted his map.

“The turn should be some-place right up here,” he saidas we crept along Highway68 east of Judson, Minn., inthe pre-dawn.

A few yards ahead, a town-ship road materializing out of the fog thathad erased all visual reckoning points.

There were a few more twists andturns along this gravel road until weclimbed out of the river valley and thefog gave way to crystal clear skies.

At an intersection and after one morecheck of his map, he climbed out of thetruck and surveyed the sky. He leanedover to touch the roadside vegetationthat hung heavy with dew. “Perfect con-ditions for the survey,” he said. “Heavydew, clear sky, no wind.”

Geving was conducting what since1939 has been an annual ritual formany DNR conservation officers andwildlife managers in Minnesota.

During early August, the DNR con-ducts a comprehensive roadsidewildlife survey by having COs andwildlife managers drive about 130, pre-determined, 25-mile routes throughfarmland Minnesota to count the num-bers and species of wildlife seen alongthe way.

While the counts have been focusedmainly on determining the relativeabundance of pheasants, biologists usethe results to determine the state ofother wildlife as well.

At sunrise, map and survey sheet inhis lap, binoculars on the dash, Gevingput the truck in gear and rolled alongat a leisurely 15 miles an hour, lookingfor pheasants that had moved to thegravel road to escape the heavy dew.

During the 2011 surveys, Geving saidonly handful of pheasants werecounted on the routes he drove, an out-come that wasn’t unexpected given theseverity of the previous winter and acool, wet spring that hampered nesting.

But this year, after an exceedinglymild winter and a warm, relatively dryspring, there is optimism that pheas-ants might regain at least some of theground they lost the previous year.

However, at least on this route,things weren’t too encouraging. In spiteof perfect census conditions, Gevingspotted only one pheasant — a lonely

rooster — at mile 17 south-west of Lake Crystal.

At mile 21, three hen wildturkeys and their mingledbroods of a dozen or sopoults eased out of the pathof the approaching truckand melted into the roadsidevegetation.

Two miles later, threetoms — two of them sport-ing paint brush-thick beards

— dashed across the roadway.But otherwise, except for the scores

of mourning doves that loafed in theroadway or on utility lines along theroute, that was the sum total of wildlifetallied.

Certainly, it would be unrealistic toexpect that the dramatic losses suf-fered during the winter of 2010-11would be made up in a single year ofmore favorable weather.

And admittedly, this particular routewas lined with row crops and manyditches that had been mowed — hardlyoptimum pheasant habitat.

But the route also ran along severalFederal Waterfowl Production Areasand Wildlife Management Areas thathad excellent cover.

Not to tally a single brood of pheas-ants was, in a word, disheartening.

There’s always a chance the resultswere an anomaly. Perhaps a vehiclehad traveled the route minutes before,scattering any pheasant broods backinto the thick cover.

Or that in spite of Geving’s scrutinywhile creeping along the townshiproads, perhaps a brood escaped detec-tion.

The results of Geving’s survey, alongwith others, will filter back to theFarmland Wildlife Research Unit nearMadelia where the numbers will becrunched to determine the state ofpheasants for the upcoming huntingseason.

In a few weeks, the DNR will releasethe results of the annual exercise.

But whatever the outcome, when itcomes to hunting pheasants in Min-nesota, there is always one certainty —along with a shotgun and some shells,it’s always a good idea to carry a goodsupply of optimism.

This column was writtenfor the marketing week end-ing Aug. 31.

Farm milk prices movedhigher for the third monthin a row. The U.S. Depart-ment of Agricultureannounced the August fed-eral order Class III bench-mark price at $17.73 perhundredweight up $1.05from July but still $3.94below August 2011, andequates to about $1.52per gallon. That put the2012 Class III averageat $16.23, down from $18.18 at thistime a year ago, and compares to$13.80 in 2010 and $10.29 in 2009.

Looking ahead, the September con-tract was trading late Friday morningat $18.89; October, $19.75; November,$19.88; and December, $19.81.

The Agricultural Mar-keting Service-surveyedcheese price averaged$1.7682 per pound, up8.3 cents from July. But-ter averaged $1.6859,up 14.7 cents, nonfatdry milk averaged$1.2543, up 8 cents, anddry whey averaged53.52 cents, up 3.3 centsfrom July.

The August Class IVprice is $15.76, up $1.31from July but 4.38below a year ago. Cali-fornia’s comparable 4aand 4b prices are sched-uled to be announcedSept. 4 by the CaliforniaDepartment of Food and Agriculture.

The cash cheese market endedAugust on a down note with the blocksclosing Friday at $1.82/lb., down 3.25cents on the week but 3 cents above ayear ago. Barrel closed at $1.7775,down 2.5 cents on the week and 1.75cents above a year ago. Thirteen car-loads of block and 24 of barrel tradedhands on the week. The AMS-surveyed,U.S. average block price hit $1.8121, up5.8 cents on the week, while the barrelsaveraged $1.8320, up a nickel.

Cheese production is mostly steady tomarginally below year-ago levelsaccording to USDA’s Dairy MarketNews. Wholesale cheese sales havebeen good with mozzarella increasingas schools begin to come back in ses-

sion.■

Export sales continue tobe aided by the Coopera-tives Working Together pro-gram which accepted 14requests for export assis-tance this week to sell 4.58million pounds of cheese tocustomers in Asia, the Mid-dle East, North Africa andthe South Pacific. The prod-

uct will be deliveredthrough February andraised the CWT’s 2012

cheese exports to 78.3million pounds plus 56.4 million of but-ter and anhydrous milk fat (adjustedfor cancellations), to 33 countries.

Stewart Peterson’s Matt Mattkepointed out in Tuesday’s DairyLinethat the U.S. Cheddar price is about 20cents higher than the international

price so that may bestalling the U.S. mar-ket. Milk and cheesefutures, as of Tuesday,were priced in the$1.90s, he said. “Thecash market is having atough time getting to$1.90.”

He added that Augustwas a good month forClass III milk prices, up80 cents to $1 from Julybut stalled recentlywith fourth quarterprices getting up to$20.25 to $20.50. Octo-ber, November andDecember milk of thisyear is currently trad-

ing at about 12-cent premiums overcash cheese, Mattke said. “It’s going tobe hard to see where that next leg ofupside is going to come unless the cashmarket starts to pick up momentum orwe see it in the whey market, whichhas been extremely quiet recently.”

Meanwhile, asif we don’thave enoughissues to beconcernedabout, farmersare on highalert for thenaturally occur-ring toxin incorn due to thedrought.

MIELKE, from pg. 18Aship will require aflatoxin screeningand testing of milk received in Iowa,beginning Aug. 31 and continuingindefinitely.

Cash butter closed the week at $1.84,up 4 cents but still 16.5 cents below ayear ago when it fell almost 9 centsand began a descent that shaved 33cents off the price before rebounding inearly October. Six cars of butter tradedhands this week and the AMS butterprice averaged $1.7576, up 4.2 cents.

Churning activities across the coun-try are mixed depending on creamavailability and price, according to theUSDA. Students are returning to class-rooms, thus school milk bottling sched-ules are resuming. Standardized creamvolumes from increasing bottlingschedules are becoming available forcream needs. Class II cream demandremains steady, although typicallyClass II needs will ease, especially forice cream, once the Labor Day holidayhas passed.

Churning is often not keeping pacewith demand, thus inventoried stock isbeing used. Butter producers that aretaking advantage of additional creamofferings and generating butter beyondcurrent needs are clearing the extraproduction to inventory and “holdingthose stocks with confidence,” theUSDA said.

Retail orders are often outpacing foodservice needs as many foodservice buy-ers are cutting back as the summervacation season winds down. Foodser-vice buyers, especially in resort andvacation areas, indicate that trafficflow through their operations is slow-ing, but will hopefully remain fairlystable at least through the Labor Dayholiday weekend.

Dairy Market News warns that milksupplies across the United States areshort of expected levels due to therecent hot weather and higher feedcosts. California production has leveledoff, but remains short of full processingneeds. Midwest milk volumes haveincreased with cooler temperatures.Eastern supplies are still tight.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closedFriday at $1.70, up 3.5 cents on theweek, and Extra Grade held all week at$1.6250. AMS powder averaged$1.2955, up 3.8 cents, and dry wheyinched 0.8 cent higher, to 54.76cents/lb.

Getting back to exports briefly, DairyProfit Weekly reports that, compared to

May’s outlook, the USDA raised itsquarterly forecast for fiscal year 2012dairy exports by $300 million inAugust. At $5 billion, FY 2012 dairyexports would easily surpass FY 2011’srecord high of $4.5 billion.

The USDA also issued its first fore-cast for FY 2013 dairy exports, at $4.8billion. High feed costs are expected toreduce producer margins, leading tolower milk output and reduced dairyproduct supplies. That will result in areduction of export volumes, leading tothe $200 million decline from FY 2012,according to the DPW.

The FY 2012 U.S. dairy import fore-cast was raised $100 million, to $3 bil-lion, due to higher values and volumes.The forecast for FY 2012 cheeseimports was reduced to $1 billion.

In its first forecast for FY 2013imports, the USDA forecast slightincreases for cheese and total dairyproducts, at $1.1 billion and $3.1 bil-lion, respectively. Butter, casein andmiscellaneous milk products will leadimport demand.

Despite a forecast for a modestappreciation in 2012 and 2013, the dol-lar will be relatively weak. That, andlow interest rates, provide continuedinexpensive credit for financing trade.Higher expected world growth, lowerenergy prices and more available creditmake the outlook for U.S. agriculturaltrade promising in 2013.

Two weeks ago I detailed the latestdata on fluid milk sales which continueto fall however the Daily DairyReport’s Mary Ledman sees a silver lin-ing in the dark cloud in her Aug. 24edition. She pointed out that June’s 0.3percent decline in fluid sales from ayear ago “pales compared to declines ofmore than 3 percent in December 2011as well as February and March 2012.

On the downside however, U.S. milkproduction through June 2012 totaled119.1 billion pounds, up 2.7 percentadjusted for leap day, Ledman said.Fluid milk sales during the sameperiod totaled 26.2 billion pounds,

down 2.2 percent. Ledman said thatmeans an additional 3.15 billionpounds of milk were available duringthe first half of 2012, compared withthe comparable period in 2011, plus anadditional 580.3 million pounds of milkwere available to manufacturers as aresult of the lower fluid milk sales.

In total, the additional 3.73 billionpounds of milk contributed to year-over-year production gains of 51.8 mil-lion pounds of butter, 185 millionpounds of nonfat dry milk and skimmilk powder, 115 million pounds ofcheese, and 82.6 million pounds ofyogurt.

She points out a few more encourag-ing details in her column and agrees inthe “Daily Dairy Discussion” audio onthe DDR website that the data under-

scores the importance of fluid milkadvertising and promotion and theexport market.

By the way, the Aug. 30 DDRreported that dairy producers culled61,000 cows in the week ending Aug.

18, an increase of 6,800head from the sameweek a year ago. The

slaughter pace year-to-date is 5.1 percent ahead of 2011,according to the DDR, and since July,U.S. dairy producers have culled 11.7percent more cows than they did inthe same period a year ago.

Soybeans that won’t make a seedcrop offer potential high-quality for-age for beef and dairy producers. Thedecision to cut beans for hay won’t be easy, say Uni-versity of Missouri Extension specialists.

“It will be difficult to tell when there is no poten-tial for a seed crop,” said Bill Wiebold, University ofMissouri soybean specialist.

“Waiting too late to cut soybeans for foragedecreases feeding quality,” said Justin Sexten Uni-versity of Missouri beef nutritionist.

Joe Horner, University of Missouri Extension econ-omist, developed a spread sheet for producers to putin their own numbers to figure value for forage.

Horner said the cut-off for the transition frombeans to forage is when yield drops below 10bushels of soybeans per acre; and if forage providesone ton or more of quality dry matter per acre.

There is potential for tons of needed forage, Hornersaid. The Missouri crop condition report showed 3.7million acres of the 5.3 million acres of soybeansplanted this year rated poor or very poor as of July 29.

The first step on the way to hay, Horner said, is avisit with the crop insurance adjuster. “Don’t cutanything, without checking crop coverage.”

Rob Kallenbach, University of Missouri forage spe-cialist, said soybeans now have the potential for a feed-

ing value equal to full-bloom alfalfa hay.Currently that hay sells for $200 per

ton. High-quality alfalfa brings $300.Wiebold said judging potential for soybean yield

will be more difficult than for corn. “Corn makes oneattempt at making an ear and that is over in a fewdays. The soybean keeps setting blossoms for 30 to40 days, trying to make pods. A late rain canincrease bean yields.

“A lot depends on who owns the soybean field andif they need forage,” Wiebold said.

All the specialists caution producers to read thelabel on any pesticide used on the soybean crop duringthe growing season. The most widely used soybeanherbicide is glyphosate (RoundUp). It has a 14-daywaiting period before harvest for forage. However,most herbicides require much longer periods betweenapplication and harvesting of soybeans for forage.

In his spreadsheet example posted on the Univer-sity of Missouri AgEBB website, Horner used a valueof $16 per bushel for soybeans and a value of $164per dry matter ton of forage.

Sexten said timing for cutting soybean plants forforage will be critical. Leaves on the mature and

dried soybean plant shatter and fall quickly. Nothingbut stems is left after maturity.

Wiebold said transition from what looks like a goodcrop and a dead crop can be just a few days.

The University of Missouri specialists agree on onething. Making soybean hay isn’t easy. The favoredway to harvest soybean plants is as high-moisturehay, wrapped in plastic. Balage makes high-qualityforage with less leaf loss.

After using the new soybean spreadsheet, Kallen-bach said there are some clear breaks. A yield above10 bushels per acre favors harvest of soybeans. How-ever, yields below five bushel per acre clearly showmore value as forage. “Other factors can change thedecision between five and 10 bushels per acre. Thatwon’t be an easy decision.”

Wiebold said, “once you make a decision to cut soy-beans for forage, or to harvest beans, do not lookback. There’s a good chance you will think you madea wrong decision, either way.”

Horner’s soybean spreadsheet can be found listedunder “Silage” at www.agebb.missouri.edu/dairy/feed.

This article was submitted by the University of Mis-souri Extension. ❖

Drought-damaged soybeans can make cattle feed

MIELKE, from pg. 19Aating costs than at any time in history, with feedprices leading the way. The estimates put total costsat more than $27/cwt., up $2 from June and $1.75more than previous record highs in the summer of2008.

“Hopefully, the change in season will bring betternews,” Natzke said. “Schools will be back in session,and that means more demand for fluid milk for stu-dent lunches and feeding programs, and cheesedemand has also been picking up.”

He pointed to rising milk prices but admittedthey’re still well below last year’s price levels but

should continue to rise through the end of the year.The question, of course, is whether the higher milkprices can keep pace with rising feed costs.

“Longer term, there’s another positive sign,”Natzke said. “Dairy product manufacturers areinvesting in new and upgraded processing plants.Industry analysts estimate U.S. dairy product manu-facturers will invest $2.2 billion over the next coupleof years, with more than 75 major capital projectsexpected to be under way before June 2014.

“Additional and more efficient capacity should leadto more demand for milk, a welcome sign for dairyfarmers in any season,” he said.

In dairy politics, the National Milk Producers Fed-eration’s Chris Galen reaffirmed the need to get afarm bill passed in his Thursday DairyLine report.He reminded listeners that the current bill expiresSept. 30, leaving dairy programs such as the MilkIncome Loss Contract, in limbo.

He talked about the coalition of about 40 farmorganizations that is lobbying Congress to pass anew farm bill before fall.

He reported that they will hold a rally on CapitolHill Sept. 12 to make a “visible and vocal push forCongress to pass a new farm bill.” For completedetails, log on to www.farmbillnow.com.

Grain Angles Info overload

fatigues marketThe “Dog Days” of summer are slowly fading into

our memory.The excessive heat and dry weather have already

damaged many of the row crops and pastures. Thegrain markets have rallied to new all-time recordhigh prices in an effort to ration the expected sup-ply. Crop tour participants pan-der to the media in hopes of fuel-ing one last bullish rally beforeharvest. Grain markets react to“Tweets” from the Twitteraccounts of private forecasters.

All of this has led to a type offatigue in the marketplace thatrequires greater sensationalismto get the grain industry’s atten-tion.

It appears that we will see anearly harvest as stressed cropsmature quicker and run the riskof dropping ears or lodging. It will be a race to getthis crop in the bin. Once this is completed, the pushwill come from end-users trying to secure cash cornand soybeans for the coming year.

The basis market will likely become volatile. Cur-rently the corn and soybean markets are inverted,which means that the front months are higherpriced than the deferred contracts. This is the mar-ket’s attempt to pull grain through the deliverychannels sooner, rather than later. Will grain pro-ducers fill their bins in the face of this inverted mar-ket or will they sell it and reward the inverted mar-ket? Will end-users wanting to secure cash grainthat they do not have room to store, be willing to payfor storage?

This column is written for the marketing week end-ing Aug. 31.

CORN — This week markedthe end of the 2011-12 corn mar-keting year. The nearby cornprice started the just-completedmarketing year at on a high noteat $7.56 1/2, but quickly fell intoa $6 to $6.50 range for most ofseven months.

Both the high and the low wereset in the fourth quarter as thefocus turned to new-cropprospects. The low was set inJune at $5.51, while the high wasset in the final month at $8.433/4. Final stocks will be known on Sept. 28 when theU.S. Department of Agriculture releases its quarterstocks numbers, but as of the August estimates, totalU.S. corn usage declined by over 500 million bushels.Much of that reduction was due to the record pricesin the fourth quarter as the marketplace began toaddress the effects of the 2012 drought.

Turning to the new-crop situation, weather issuescontinue for the beleaguered 2012 corn crop. Temper-atures heated up again in the western Corn Belt, butit’s too late in the season for much further damagefrom drought.

Raising the most concern on the weather front werethe forecasts for Hurricane Isaac that showed exces-sive rainfall headed for Illinois and Indiana. Heavy

Livestock AnglesRetreat, retreat:Hogs, cattle slip

As we approach the end of August, the livestockmarkets are in retreat.

Hogs which have been in a slide through the entiremonth are now being joined by the cattle which havenow begun to slip back from their recent rally. Itwould suggest that the seasonal patterns of lowerprices into the fall months forlivestock prices are here andworking toward fall lows in theweeks ahead.

The cattle market has seenprices increase through the firsthalf of August only to meet resist-ance just above the $120 per hun-dredweight level basis the Mid-west. During this period, beefcutouts moved above the$190/cwt. basis choice met consid-erable resistance from the domes-tic retailer and the export mar-ket.

Volume in the boxed beef trade slowed to a snail’space and the packer is now trying to move the inven-tory of beef accumulated at lower prices which nar-row their margins. This could effect the bidding forlive inventory in the weeks ahead in a negative fash-ion. Beef production seems adequate to meet demandneeds at this juncture.

Cattle weights remain well over last year’s levelswhich increase the total beef production despite thefewer cattle marketed. From just an economic stand-point, if pork prices remain low as well as poultry,beef should have a tough time maintaining currentprice levels. Producers are urged to look at the over-all situation in the meat markets in general and con-sider what the next few months will bring in the cat-

rains or wind at harvest could bedetrimental to drought-weakenedstalks.

As of the last Crop Progress report, the nationalgood/excellent rating slipped another point to a newlow of 22 percent. Harvest progress hit 6 percentcompared to 2 percent on average.

Weekly ethanol production slipped back slightlyto 819,000 barrels per day from 823,000 the previ-ous week. Ethanol stocks were unchanged from theprevious week. Official June ethanol productionwas reported at 1.118 billion gallons, down 1.6 per-cent from the previous June.

Weekly export sales remain flat at 134,000 metrictons (marketing years combined). The combinationof almost no export demand and Hurricane Isaacweighed on Gulf cash markets.

OUTLOOK: Corn corrected lower early this week,trading below $8 in the December contract for thefirst time since Aug. 16. December corn settled justshy of $8 at $7.99 3/4, down 8.75 cents for the week.

The corn has gravitated near the $8 mark forseven weeks now. There is certainly some rationinggoing on in the more visible ethanol and export sec-tors, but prices will remain well-supported consid-ering that the marketing year has just begun.

Harvest results will dictate prices, but I think thenational yield is more likely to slip further. The nextUSDA report is on Sept. 12.

SOYBEANS — The nearby soybean contract fol-lowed a similar pattern as the corn during the just

completed 2011-12 marketing year,starting out high, dipping into theharvest/post-harvest period, and then

rallying on new-crop weather concerns.

The biggest difference was that the weather rallystarted earlier in soybeans because the first adverseweather of 2012 hit in South America. The frontmonth price started last September at $14.39, madea low of $10.94 in December, and made its high inAugust of $17.81.

After a more moderate temperature pattern formuch of August, heat slipped back into the westernbelt this week. Soybeans rated good/excellent slippedone point to 30 percent good/excellent, the firstdecline in about a month. A rapid finish to pod-fillingprobably isn’t helping yields in parts of Minnesota,South Dakota, North Dakota and Iowa.

In the east, additional rainfall is still helpingyields, although the hurricane is bringing flooding toparts of the Delta. Harvest in the Delta will see somedelay due to the flooding from the Hurricane. As ofthe most recent Crop Progress report, Louisiana was18 percent done with soybean harvest. Gulf soybeanbasis was weak this week, losing 20 cents week overweek.

Weekly export sales remained robust at a com-bined 732,000 mt. A daily sales announcement on

Monthly biodiesel production data out this weekshowed July production at 108 million gallons. Thatis near the consistent pace that has been in placesince spring.

OUTLOOK: November soybeans hit a new contracthigh on Thursday, and gained 25 cents for the week.The export pace suggests that higher prices areneeded to ration what supplies are available.

The market is waiting to see if the late rainfall canimprove the national yield, which may keep the mar-ket away from new highs until the Sept. 12 reportcan be evaluated.

TEALE, from pg. 21Atle market and decide if price protection is war-ranted for their particular needs.

The hog market has been on a downspin for over 30days and it feels as if it will never end. However, asmarkets go, every market turns and goes the oppo-site direction at some point.

Technically the hog market is becoming oversoldand is close to developing a low. By looking at thefutures market deeply discount to the cash market.This suggests an even further drop in hog pricesthrough the end of the year. With all the liquidation

of sows over recent weeks, the possibility now existsthat the number of hogs over time will decrease sub-stantially which should help stabilize cash prices.This liquidation has created a large inventory ofpork that will have to be absorbed by the consumerover the next few months.

Considering the price difference in the pork cutoutversus the beef cutout, the value is in pork whichshould precipitate more interest by the consumertoward pork products both export and domestic. Pro-ducers should continue to monitor the hog marketand keep current on marketing and use price protec-tion as needed. ❖

Technically hogs oversold, close to a low

NEHER, from pg. 21Agets more complicated. The political climate in Wash-ington seems to be in a state of gridlock and the like-lihood of passing a new farm bill is unlikely until theresults of the upcoming elections are known.

The New York Times published an article thatexamined drought maps back into the 1800s. A con-sistent pattern could be seen in drought years in thepast. They tend to come in three-year waves. Thedrought would start in an area causing considerabledamage, followed by another year that greatlyexpands the dry areas. This major drought year wasthen followed by another drought year of lesser con-sequence.

If this pattern were to hold true, we could be in foranother dry year next year.

If we were to experience another year of drought on

the back of this damaged crop, the supply-demandbattle could make this year look like a “cakewalk.”The damage that would be felt in the livestock sectorwould be immense. The political battle between thefood-versus-fuel debate would rage. Our relation-ships with our export partners would be strainedand tested. Demand for water would become a seri-ous point of concern.

Would this be a “Black Swan” to hit the markets?As always with Mother Nature, there are no guaran-tees.

It may be important to consider what type of tillageor soil preparation program that would position us tobest manage another dry year. What agronomic prac-tices would allow us to capture and maintain themoisture that we receive this fall and winter? Thiscould be a grain angle worth exploring. ❖

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Assistant Editor Tom Royer

YYou’ve probably wondered about it yourentire life; maybe even lost sleep thinking

about it.“What is the most north-easterly point in

Iowa reachable by car?”We’re here to help.First, by whatever means you’re comfortable

with, get to Allamakee County, then make yourway to the city of New Albin (pop. 530) viaHighway 26. If you’re crossing over from theMinnesota border, it should take you aroundthree or four seconds.

Turn east at the community center, zig-zagaround the bank, and in a couple of blocksyou’ll be overlooking the Mississippi River

floodplain. Dip down past the parking lot at theinformational kiosk and you’re on Army Road.

It starts out straight as an arrow, with thefirst mile shooting right toward Wisconsin, butsoon enough you’ll be twisting and turningamong the trees. There aren’t many pullouts,and Army Road’s not too wide, so hopefully youdon’t meet any wide loads.

Slow down, be patient, and soon enough you’llhit the clearing at the end of the road — there’splenty of room to pull your trailer around andback your fishing boat into the slough.

Oh, yeah, don’t forget your boat. This is apretty nice spot for bluegill, channel catfish,crappie, freshwater drum, large and small-

mouth bass, northern pike, sauger and walleye.You could just bring your camping chair and

put a line in from the dock, but you’ll probablywant to get on the water — it’s just too prettyout there. (If you’re not into fishing, bring yourcanoe or kayak instead.)

And if you troll (or paddle) your way up theslough just a bit, you can also claim to havevisited Minnesota’s most south-easterly point.

That’ll be a feather-in-the-cap to make yourfriends jealous. Sleep well.

Another unit train (110 cars and440,000 bushels) loading facility isabout to start moving grain inRenville County, Minn.

This newest expansion is SouthCentral Grain and Energy based inFairfax, which is adding side-by-side rails west of their Buffalo Lakefacility permitting this long-time farm cooperative toload out 110 rail cars in less than eight hours.

Allen Baysinger, grain origination manager at theBuffalo Lake terminal, said “we want to be able toaccess the Asian markets more readily and in theprocess give our producers the best outlet and thebest price for their grain. This tandem rail setupwhich can accommodate 110 cars does just that.

“It’s cleaner, neater and faster. It takes some coor-dination but it will work out much more efficientlyfor us,” Baysinger said.

Because Asia has become such a huge export mar-ket for U.S. corn and soybeans, unit train load-outfacilities destined for Portland, Ore., has become abig part of total shipments of South Central Grainand Energy.

Baysinger said this year could be different. Yes,you guessed it, the rapidly shrinking U.S. corn pro-duction season is suggesting lots more Minnesotacorn likely will be staying right here in the Midwestand deep South.

“With the crop problems we’re having in other partsof the country it looks like domestic movement may bebigger than Asian rim countries which we service out ofthe Pacific Northwest. And that means lots of corn andsoybeans from here will move east and southeast forlivestock and poultry needs. Plus several ethanolplants may be needing corn from more than their so-called local supply chain area,” Baysinger said.

He indicated most shipments from Buffalo Lakeand Fairfax go to Chicago and beyond. However ifbarges can move, shipments down the MississippiRiver might be more significant. Also local ethanolplants at Fairfax, Atwater, Granite Falls are heavyusers of grains collected by SCGE facilities.

Purified Renewable Energy LLC, the new ethanolfacility salvaged from the old Minnesota Energy plat atBuffalo Lake is again buying corn locally. The BuffaloLake elevator in the early days of Minnesota Energybuilt an air-driven system that funneled corn fromupright storage facilities literally across the railroadtracks to the ethanol plant. The newly rebuilt ethanolplant built its own corn storage facility so the co-op willno longer deliver via a pipeline conveyor system.

When asked if the U.S. grain market is now in apermanent stage of volatility — sudden ups anddowns often within the same trading day —Baysinger thinks more than likely that is the new“look” of the U.S. grain industry.

“There is so much demand out there, not justdomestically here in the United States but from sev-

eral foreign countries, too. Plus the ethanol and live-stock demand is also volatile and very definitely amajor factor in the yo-yo markets of today.”

He’s very much aware of the increasing competitionfor grain, especially in view of a shortened U.S. cropnationally, and more unit train facilities being built inMinnesota and elsewhere. “It means we’ll have tokeep adapting to new systems, new transportationhubs and new technologies out on the farm as well.

“Farmers are putting up tremendous amounts ofon-farm storage these days so just because we’re theclosest elevator doesn’t mean we’re handling theirgrain. With their fleets of two, three even four semirigs of their own, they pretty much go wherever theywant to go. So competitive bidding and fast, cleanand efficient dumping is mighty important to ourfarmer customers.”

Will there be enough grain this fall to fill all thisnew storage now in place at both elevators andfarms? That may be questionable in view of thegrowing season, however Baysinger suggests to notsell production agriculture short. He noted thetremendous genetic advancements in yields and nowthe added protection of various traits. Plus he saidfarmers keep getting smarter and better at doingtheir job.

“I think we’ll see this crop getting bigger and big-ger over the course of time. World markets and worldpopulations in essence are demanding more produc-

tion. And thanks to technology, if the market is‘right’, our U.S. farmers gear up their capacityaccordingly. Cooperation from the weather is the bigunknown,” Baysinger said.

Elevators do their part, too. The Buffalo Lake facil-ity is upgrading its station to be able to do 80,000bushels per hour. That means meeting the timeframe on the 110-car unit trains but also lookingahead to 120-car systems down the road. Since theydidn’t have enough room to do the “loop complex”such as at a new facility in Brownton, Minn., (SeePage 35A) the grain crew at Buffalo Lake will have tounhitch 15 to 18 cars from the 110-car unit, get thosefilled and parked on the second rail, then repeat theprocess with another batch of cars until all 110 carsare filled. Meanwhile the “power unit” that broughtthe 110 cars into Buffalo Lake sits until all 110 carsare ready to move. That’s why speed is of the essence.Delays over 12 hours, and demurrage charges up to$100 per car per day suddenly happen.

Already at about 6 million bushels total storagecapacity at Buffalo Lake, the unit train loadingcapability may generate additional expansion ofbunker storage. Besides its headquarter location atFairfax, South Central Grain and Energy also hasfacilities at Hector, Gibbon, Buffalo Lake, Stewart,Darwin, Eden Valley and Cosmos. These eight loca-tions currently have over 14 million bushels totalstorage capacity. ❖

With 2.8 mil-lion bushels ofupright storagecapacity plus 4.5million bushelsof horizontalcapacity, thegrain terminalabout to open at Brownton, Minn.,ranks as one of the biggest single sitelocations in America, according to JeffNielsen, United Farmers Cooperativegeneral manager at Winthrop, Minn.

“CCC was at the site this morningand officially registered us as 7.3 mil-lion bushels total capacity,” Nielsensaid in an Aug. 17 interview.

You get some idea of thescope of this project whenyou are told that this facil-ity will have the capacityto load out 110-car unittrains (440,000 bushels) inless than eight hours.

The construction con-tract on this project callsfor a Sept. 15 “ready date,”

and Nielsen feels that date will be metwith corn being delivered even a weekin advance. Everything is ahead ofschedule, even the corn crop, he said.

A couple questions for many: In viewof some drought stress, will there beenough corn to fill this facility thisfirst harvest? Or will it take a couple

years before this new location identi-fied as United Grain Systems fits intothe marketing decisions of area grainproducers?

“If I had a crystal ball I’d gladlyshare the answer. The challenge got abit bigger after our board, which ini-tially approved a 4.3-million-bushelgrain handling facility, last Marchdecided to add an additional 3 millionbushels of storage,” Nielsen said.

“Because this facility has the capa-bility of dumping 500 to 600 trucks per24-hour day we did not want to run therisk of filling up in just a couple weeks.So our board agreed on an even biggerfacility to accommodate deliveries overa longer harvest time frame.

“Yes, I will be pleasantly surprised ifwe do fill up this year. However clearlythe market right now with $8 corn isscreaming ‘get rid of it.’ So both mar-ket conditions and quality of the cropwhen combines start running will bekey drivers on the volume we will behandling.”

He shared the flip side, suggestingthey’d look a bit foolish running likecrazy to get this facility built and sud-denly they were turning people awaybecause it was full.

He credits his board for being vision-ary about expanding their initial plansinto a significantly larger facility.Nielsen indicated that because agri-culture today has become such anaggressive industry, especially in theUpper Midwest, wisdom suggestsalways build for the future.

With the new identity as UnitedGrain Systems, a partnership ofArcher Daniel Midland and UFC,

Nielsen is pleased with the seamlesstransition when ADM came on board.When asked if this has been a goodmarriage, he said, “I’ve been in thisbusiness for 27 years now. I’ve beeninvolved in various partnerships. ADMhas absolutely exceeded our expecta-tions in every way as a new partner.They have done everything they saidthey would do. They are extremely con-scientious about wanting us to run thisnew operation.

“The resources they bring into thispartnership are huge whether it beaccess to markets, their expertise inmovement of volumes of grain, accessto capital, etc. We’re feeling very goodabout this entire business package.”

UFC Board Chairman KevinLauwagie said, “this new complex verywell prepares us for the future. Wedon’t know details of the future of agri-culture but we do know change willalways be with us. We as a farm coop-erative need to be in a position toadapt to this future. There’s no perfectscenario out there but we feel confi-dent this was the thing to do.

“We have feed, we have ethanol andnow we have rail which gives us rapidaccess to markets across America andoverseas through three major railroadnetworks, the BNSF, the CP and theUP. This facility has three truck dump-ing pits. Time, especially during har-vest, is always important so gettingunloaded and back to your fieldsshouldn’t be an issue.”

UFC had total net earnings of $4.8million last year which resulted inpatronage refunds of $1.1 million (35

Perhaps reflecting the tremen-dous increase in export activityof U.S. feed grains, Bob Zelenka,Minnesota Grain & Feed Associ-ation executive director, saidMinnesota and American agri-culture needs more unit trainload-out terminals.

Visiting the Aug. 20 Open Houseevent of United Farmers Cooperativeat their new 7.3 million bushel Brown-ton facility, Zelenka said, “this verymuch reflects the future of grain mar-keting in America. Efficiency is thename of the game when you’re talkingmillions of bushels of grain. Being ableto load 110 cars in 15 hours or less andget this entire unit train to the WestCoast, for example, in less than threedays is the wave of the future.”

Because grain marketing is becominga competitive business there’s noassurance this new complex will be themarketing choice of most area farmers.But because unit train facilities pro-vide significant cost savings to rail-roads, Zelenka ventured that UFC isnow in a position to get the best ratesthe railroads offer. “This can meaneight to 10 cents per bushel better pric-ing to area producers than elevatorswho aren’t on rail.”

Because Minnesota appears to be theonly “bright spot” in corn and soybean pro-duction this year,Zelenka anticipates Min-nesota grain handlers will play a huge rolein providing that grain for domestic use,for much of the ethanol industry and forexport markets. Currently nearly 40 per-cent of the U.S. corn crop gets utilized forethanol production.Simply because of sup-ply and demand economics, he thinks that

percentagewill dropbecausemany ethanol plants are cutting back onproduction, some shutting down entirely,at least for the time being.

This new complex at Brownton is thelatest unit-train facility in Minnesota.Perhaps surprising is the fact thatZelenka said there are now nearly 40unit-train facilities in Minnesota andthere will continue to be more. “Obviouslythey need some space and separation butthat depends on rail access and grain pro-duction capabilities. From a railroad per-spective perhaps 30 to 40 miles distancebetween locations works best.”

South Central Grain and Energy ofFairfax is just now building a unit-train loading facility for its BuffaloLake operation, only about 20 mileswest of this new Brownton complex.

Speed is important in moving railroadgrain cars in and out of elevator facilitiesdue to demurrage. Demurrage is thesomewhat volatile fee that a rail companyslaps on its bill to the local elevatorif/when the local elevator doesn’t get railcars loaded out fast enough, often withinthat 15-hour time frame on unit trains.“It can be up to $100 per car per day. So ifyou’re loading 110 to 120 cars thatdemurrage charge adds up real fast,”Zelenka said. ❖

“We’ve benefited greatly from thepricing and productivity of agriculturein recent years and I believe there willbe more ‘golden years’ ahead of us.World population keeps growing, fooddemand keeps growing especiallyamong Third World countries. Anddespite the challenges of this drought-stressed year, I think American agri-culture will keep responding with moreproductivity,” Lauwagie said.

Brad Berger, a Gibbon/Fairfax-areafarmer and UFC member attendingthe Aug. 20 open house, said, “This isbig. For the long term this certainlylooks like the right move. I doubt

there’ll be enough corn and soybeans tofill it up this fall, however. I’m surethey’ll have a better bid because of bet-ter rates they’ll be getting with thisunit train capability.”

ADM reports this is one of the largestpartnerships of this multi-nationalbusiness corporation on a single site. “Ithink this terminal represents one ofthe highest capacity inland grain han-dling facilities in the country,” Nielsensaid.

With perfect weather, the Aug. 20open house at this new facility drew anestimated 3,000-plus people. Theywere treated to wagon tours of theentire complex plus barbecue porkchop sandwiches with all the trim-mings. ❖

Believe more golden years ahead

On Aug. 15, 12 Chinese chefs touring the UnitedStates made sure to stop at Butcher and the Boar, arestaurant that the Star Tribune calls “one of themost anticipated restaurants of the year.”

The delegates, consisting of renowned chefs in theChinese food industry, were participating in a toursponsored by the U.S. Meat Export Federation andMinnesota Soybean.

With a growing population of around 1.3 billion,China relies on U.S. imports to feed their nation.China is the largest importer of U.S. agriculturalgoods, purchasing $20 billion worth in 2011. Thevalue of U.S. farm exports to China supported morethan 160,000 American jobs in 2011, on and off thefarm across a variety of sectors. Visits like this one,help international customers learn more about, andappreciate, our food system.

Peter Botcher, Sous Chef at Butcher and the Boar,allowed the chefs to tour, sample and learn moreabout the art of charcuterie. Botcher spoke to thegroup through an interpreter, but with so manyquestions from the team about the kitchen and thegrill, it was hard to keep up.

Botcher explained the menu choices and the dif-ferent types of meat that are prepared in thekitchen, including venison, oysters, mussels,salmon, lobster, wild boar head cheese, ham,chicken, pork chops, a number of different sausagesand many others. Intrigued by the main grill,Botcher described, “One man works an eight-hour

shift on the main grill. Itis a hard job and almosthalf the menu comes offthis grill.”

The delegation receivedthe chance to use theirhands and taste buds inthe main kitchen. Botcheropened the doors wideand explained every por-tion of the kitchen. Hethen started pulling sam-ples for the group. Thechefs enjoyed tasting porkchops, ham and salami.Many took the chance toassist in making sausagefor the day’s meals.Smiles were all around asmany of the chefs joinedin on the preparation.

This particular team ofchefs is interested in newmenu items, especiallypork, as the foodserviceindustry in China hasbeen expanding at double-digit annual rates for thepast 15 years. There aremany regionally ownedand operated restaurantchains that have grown organically from single out-lets. The local chain restaurants are currently inaggressive growth phases, transitioning to nationalenterprises and attempting to develop more sophisti-

cated supply chains for their food purchases.

During their trip, the delegates experienced thepreparation techniques of U.S. meat that theyimport, and saw firsthand how U.S. farmers raisequality soybeans that are fed to livestock. The team’sjourney throughout Minnesota included Hocken-berg’s food service retailer facility in Eagan, Minn., avineyard near New Ulm, Minn., dairy and hogfarms, as well as a tour of Harold and Matt Wolle’ssoybean and corn farm in Watonwan County, Minn.The tour’s last stop was Famous Dave’s research anddevelopment kitchen in Minnetonka, Minn.

The USMEF and the Minnesota Soybean Researchand Promotion Council sponsored this tour as a wayto help connect some of China’s food industry leaderswith Minnesota soybean farmers to show them thevalue of U.S. soybeans and to encourage them to con-tinue to import U.S. product.

The Minnesota Soybean Research & PromotionCouncil oversees the investment of soybean checkoffdollars on behalf of approximately 25,000 farmers inMinnesota. The council is governed by the rules of afederally mandated checkoff program that requiresall soybean producers pay a fee on the soybeans theysell. This money is used to promote, educate anddevelop market opportunities for soybeans. Theorganization works with the Minnesota SoybeanGrowers Association to share The R.E.A.L. Story(Responsible, Ethical Agriculture for Life).
