How FFA impacted the lives of Cindy Yerbich, Al Schoenfeld, Jon Brekke, Michael Busch, Jeremy Freking and Roger Reinert — Story on Page 4A

While kids always choose Christmas asthe best holiday of the year, Christianseverywhere celebrate Easter as the mostimportant because, they teach, theanniversary of Christ’s “victory overdeath” on the hilltop called Calvaryproves both His divinity and the promiseof salvation.

Indeed, if you are Christian, Easter iswhere the ultimate sacrifice brings theultimate gift, where death brings life andwhere earthly charity brings heavenlyhope.

Come to think of it, maybe that’s whyCongress leaves Washington, D.C., for two weekseach Easter: its members are in search of charityand hope because, Lord knows, there’s little of either

on their hilltop.Secretary of Agriculture Thomas J. Vil-

sack discovered that again March 27, theday before Palm Sunday, in an op/edpenned for the Wall Street Journal. In itVilsack labeled the plan by CongressionalRepublicans to “block grant”— spin off tothe states — the nation’s principlehunger-fighting program, the Supplemen-tal Food Assistance Program, or SNAP,“ill-timed and ill-advised.”

When posted online at wsj.com, Vilsack’sdefense of SNAP was met with screamingderision and biting sarcasm. Of the 106

reader “replies” it generated, only one — and a luke-

Where’s the love?

In the summer of 1989, New Kids on theBlock were “Hangin’ Tough,” acid-washeddenim was in, and China’s communistgovernment violently cracked down onpro-democracy protesters in TiananmenSquare. Today, New Kid Donnie Wahlbergis an actor, denim is dark, and China is amajor importer of U.S. soybeans.

Times change, but the values of FFAremain the same.

Over the past month, I had the pleasureto talk with the Minnesota State FFAOfficer Team of 1989-90. I was impressedby each and every person on the team.

For example, Sentinel Cindy YerbichBruning is teaching students who areblind and visually impaired or deaf and hard of hear-ing in Bemidji, Minn., area schools.

Others are serving our government and their com-munity. Vice President Roger Reinert is a Minnesotastate senator, representing Duluth. President JonBrekke was Shakopee mayor from 1998 to 2001.

Secretary Allen “Al” Schoenfeld is raising a familyof four children on a cattle ranch in South Dakotaand has been involved in his church and 4-H.

In fact, the entire team is doing good and amazingthings. A theme woven throughout every interview isphrases ending with “... and I learned that in FFA.”All referenced leadership skills and comfort in publicspeaking. They talked about striving to do your best,serving your community and country and the many

opportunities to develop and grow in FFA.All were articulate and confident.

Most spoke of the great Paul Day, theMinnesota FFA advisor who guided themthrough their year on the officer team.Day had high expectations for FFA offi-cers in dress code and manners, certainly.Yet I understand that he also challengedthe officers in character.

Reporter Michael Busch mentioned thatMinnesota FFA Executive Secretary JimErtl was retiring. Ertl confirmed hisretirement, scheduled for the end of theyear. He has served as executive secre-tary since October 1981.In his FFA career, Ertl has impacted

hundreds, if not thousands, of FFA members. I planto write a feature on his retirement and service atyear’s end. At this time, he was busy working on thestate convention, and I suspect he wanted to keepthe spotlight on the FFA officer team instead.

I also had the pleasure of speaking with a currentFFA officer. In talking with outgoing Iowa FFA Pres-ident Abrah Meyer, she answered me with “Yes,ma’am.” I have never been given that much respectin my life. Thank you, Ms. Meyer.

Like the many FFA officers who have gone before,Meyer also seems to have a bright future ahead ofher.

LAND MINDS

By Marie Wood

GUEBERT, from pg. 2Awarm one at that —backed the Secretary; itcalled SNAP “needed.” The other 105 pummeled himfor even putting fingers to keyboard.

“Mr. Vilsack, your claim of a low incidence of(SNAP) fraud & error is, (sic) equine manure,” wrotesomeone named Gene Hutchins. (The Journalrequires online commenters to sign their names.)

“This entire treatise is riddle (sic) with total false-hoods. The Food Stamp programs are growing notshrinking ... The program is waist deep in fraud ...Food stamps are openly traded for drugs and booze... Total baloney!” wrote “gardener morris.”

And, “Raymond Klett,” added, “Another Obamashill supporting big and dysfunctional government.Comrade Vilsack, lots of useless words to promote apolitical agenda.”

Not one writer, however, offered one fact to supporttheir views and only a handful suggested any idea onhow they’d fix what they described as a “wasteful”“lib” program filled with “fraud”’ run by “unionpukes” and “the feckless amateurs in this lawlessadministration.”

So, since it’s Easter, maybe we can — charitablyand with love, of course — offer a few facts to calmour angry brothers and sisters. For example:

• The average per person monthly SNAP benefit is$125, about $4.15 per day or $1.39 per meal.

• In 2014, 92 percent of the $76 billion spent onSNAP was spent on food, five percent (or $3.8 billion)went to the states to administer the program, andthree percent was spent on block grants to fund localprograms like food banks.

• Historically, SNAP benefits have equaled about0.03 percent of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product.During the 2008-2011 economic crisis, however, thatfigure rose to 0.05 percent. In 2014, it fell to 0.045percent and the non-partisan Congressional Budget

Office sees it returning to its historic 0.03 percentby 2020.

None of these figures, mind you, dispute SNAP’ssize or inherent problems. Seventy billion dollars-plus per year, falling though it is, remains an enor-mous amount of money and documented fraud —now pegged at an historical low of less than one per-cent of the total costs — still tops $500 million peryear.

Even at that, however, SNAP will add little to thefederal budget deficit because projected costs con-tinue to fall as GDP continues to rise. Very few fed-eral programs — including the 2014 farm bill’sexpanded crop insurance program — can make theclaim.

But it’s Easter, a time of sacrifice, charity andlove. As such, perhaps we can agree that spendingjust $3, and maybe even $4, out of every $1,000 ofGDP isn’t too much for the richest country in thehistory of the world to feed its hungry.

After all, as my church-going farm friends oftenask, WWJD?

Jon BrekkePresident

As president of the 1989-90 Min-nesota State FFA Officer Team, JonBrekke traveled to Washington, D.C.,with fellow team member Jeremy Frek-ing for an FFA conference.

President George H.W. Bush visitedthe FFA officers in the West Wing anddelivered an inspiring speech. Brekke learned the pres-ident of the United States was human, with a sense ofhumor and friends just like everybody else.

“He told a joke that President Ronald Reagan used totell in the Oval Office,” he said. “It was a humanmoment of two legendary figures in my life at thattime.”

The Washington, D.C. trip was also his first ride on anairplane.

“It was a very memorable experience going to all thesignificant monuments and sites in Washington, D.C.,”Brekke said. “It really built a sense of patriotism andhonor for our country and the sacrifices people havemade to make it great.”

Married with four children and living in Shakopee,Minn., Brekke is vice president, member services ofGreat River Energy. In fact, he has spent the last 17years of his career working in power cooperatives,including Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative.

Brekke, who grew up in Godahl, graduated from St.James High School in 1988. While his dad was anagronomist at the grain elevator in La Salle, his unclesran the family farm. He picked rocks, walked beans andbaled hay.

His FFA career was highlighted by his lifetime friendMichael Busch, and St. James High School ag advisorDale Busch, Michael’s father. Brekke and Busch servedtogether as state officers.

“Getting to serve with Michael was really cool for me,fun for me, rewarding,” Brekke said.

While serving as an FFA officer,Brekke attended the University of Min-nesota. In 1992, he graduated with adegree in agribusiness management.

Brekke said he is honored to be partof the FFA legacy that is repeated everyyear in the state officer team. While hemay have been president, he said hisofficer team was truly a team of equals.

“It’s also great to have a group of kids from all overMinnesota who have their own unique talents and meshtogether and form a great team,” he said. “These teamscome together and do a great job, develop great friend-ships, set an example.”

Running the state Greenhand and Chapter LeaderLeadership camps was a good bonding experience forthe team, and required them to stretch their abilities,he said.

“We learned how to put something like that together,”said Brekke. “If you’re teaching, you learn more aboutthe subject than one of the students.”

Like officers who have gone before and after him, hehas strong memories of FFA Advisor Paul Day andExecutive Secretary Jim Ertl.

“They were a great influence on our development,” hesaid. “It just meant a lot to me in terms of teaching uslessons about leadership and being servants while lead-ing.”

FFA was a springboard for Brekke to enter politics.He served two terms as mayor of Shakopee from 1998 to2001. Previously, Brekke served on the Shakopee CityCouncil and the Shakopee Planning Commission, whichhe chaired in 1997.

“The parliamentary procedure at FFA was invaluableas a mayor of a city. Learning how to run a meeting —that sounds so simple, but it’s so powerful to know howto do that,” he said. “Where I learned that was FFA.”

He expects to get involved in politics again, but hiscurrent focus is his job.

“FFA — that was my proving ground,” said Brekke. ❖

‘We meshed together, formed a great team’What do an executive director for acommodity group, financial advi-sor, teacher, cattle rancher, vice

president in a power co-op, and a statesenator all have in common?

They were the 1989-90 MinnesotaState FFA Officer Team.

Over the next several pages you’ll meetJon Brekke, Roger Reinert, Allen “Al”Schoenfeld, Jeremy Freking, MichaelBusch and Cindy Yerbich Bruning, andfind out where they are now and whatthey’ve been doing for the last 25 years.

Another thing these officers hold incommon is they all credit FFA with help-ing them develop leadership and publicspeaking skills, which have played amajor role in their lives and careers.

The 2015 Minnesota FFA Conventionis April 26-28. This year’s theme —“Reach” — is two-fold. The MinnesotaFFA Officer Team is celebrating a year ofoutreach and service to members, saidcurrent state reporter Erin Larson ofNew Richland, Minn.

“Reach” is also meant to motivate mem-bers to reach for their potential, said Lar-son, with general sessions inspiringmembers to Reach Within, Reach Out,Reach Beyond and Reach Deep.

“I think members are going to reallyenjoy our speakers,” she said.

For instance, the Peterson Farm Broth-ers from Kansas are offering a behind-the-scenes look at their social mediamovement to inform the public about lifeon their farm.

“Members will connect with their storyof telling the importance of agriculture,”she said.

Roger ReinertVice President

Minnesota State Senator RogerReinert gained valuable leader-ship skills while wearing theiconic blue and gold jacket as vicepresident on the 1989-90 Min-nesota State FFA Officer team.

“Wearing that blue and gold wasthe first uniform I put on,” Reinert said. “I still havemy chapter jacket and my state officer jacket.”

Today, he wears the uniform of Lieutenant Com-mander in the U.S. Navy Reserves. Reinert has beena DFL State Senator, serving District 7, Duluth,since winning election in 2010 and re-election in2012. Prior to the State Senate, he served in theMinnesota House of Representatives from 2009 to2011 and served 2004 to 2008 on the Duluth CityCouncil, where he was twice-elected president.

Reinert grew up in Dawson, Minn., but callsDuluth his hometown now. He is an avid runner andsailor on Lake Superior.

FFA ignited the spark to serve his country in theNavy, to serve his community in the Minnesota Leg-islature, and to teach political science at Lake Supe-rior College in Duluth.

“It was this idea that we get involved beyond our

immediate self interests,” said Rein-ert. “We care about the school, wecare about the community, we careabout the area.”

Every day in his career he usesparliamentary procedure, which hesaid is based on the fundamentalconcept that the minority has theright to be heard. In FFA, Reinertpracticed Robert’s Rule of Order.

“I learned that in ninth grade at FFA in Dawson-Boyd High School,” he said.

Reinert grew up in the country outside Dawsonand his parents worked in town. While the district ofDuluth that Reinert represents is urban, MinnesotaFFA prepared him well for a career in state govern-ment.

“No one’s farming a single acre,” he said, “but thatexperience is part of who I am and is definitely afoundation I’ve built on through my professionalcareer.”

When he was a state FFA officer, Reinert traveledstatewide and recalled a tour through the north-western corner of Minnesota, an area to which hehad never been. He was part of a leadership team ofpeople from all around Minnesota — much like theState Legislature.

“As a state legislator, not only are you workingwith different people, but you are learning about allthe corners of the state,” he said.

Earning his American FFA Degree was a majorachievement for a kid who didn’t grow up on thefarm. The National FFA Convention was also ahighlight. Reinert credits Minnesota FFA advisorPaul Day for “changing us as people.”

“He taught us to be adults. You learned courtesieslike opening doors, standing up when someonecame to sit at your table,” he said. “My girlfriendgets the benefit in that I know how to escort her upthe stairs when she’s wearing heels.”

Day ensured that state officers did not fit thestereotype of a small town or farm kid, and expectedeach state officer to be a “professional matureadult” representing FFA. While the Navy built onthis, the concept was first instilled by Day.

“He did not hesitate to let you know if you werenot making the standard,” said Reinert.

Being a state FFA officer wasn’t all work. At oneevent, Reinert and President Jon Brekke reenactedthe “Top Gun” scene in which Tom Cruise and hisbuddy sing “You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feelin’.”

“Great people,” said Reinert. “We just had fun. Itruly enjoyed serving with that group of people.” ❖

Al SchoenfeldSecretary

Allen “Al” Schoenfeld, Min-nesota State FFA secretaryfor the 1989-90 officer team,recalled giving speechesthroughout his FFA career.In these speeches, he oftenreferenced quotes that couldbe relevant in all aspects of life.

He still does that today.Schoenfeld has the following quote from Vince

Lombardi posted in his truck: “Perfection is notattainable, but if we chase perfection we can catchexcellence.”

He learned the importance of chasing perfection inFFA. As a state officer he learned “organization, atten-tion to detail and striving to do your best every day.”

Schoenfeld is working to pass on the value ofdoing your best and catching excellence to his ownsons — Tanner, 17, Nathan, 15, Lane, 12, andChance, 6 — at his own home and farm, K & A Cat-tle Company in Astoria, S.D. He applies the Lom-bardi quote to his life, marriage, family and career.

“I am a little bit of a perfectionist,” he said. “I can’tbe perfect, but I can still be excellent.”

Schoenfeld grew up in Medford, Minn., where hisparents farmed 600 acres of corn and soybeans andran a 120-sow farrow-to-finish operation. When heserved as state officer, Schoenfeld was attending the

University of Minnesota in the animal sci-ence department.

“At that time, I had personally sown myown enterprise — about 120 acres of cornand soybean,” he said.

Schoenfeld enjoyed getting to know hisMinnesota officer team, traveling togetherand directing state leadership camps.

“It was a great team-building experience.It was a lot of fun,” he said.

The trip to Nebraska for the National LeadershipConference for State Officers was the “biggest thing”in that they got to meet state officers from across thecountry. They also attended the National FFA Con-vention in Kansas City, Mo.

Schoenfeld carried the leadership skills developed

in FFA into his adult leadership roles in 4-H andchurch organizations. He also gained the ability to notbe afraid to introduce himself and meet new people.

He worked for a feed company that moved him towestern Minnesota. In transitioning to self-employment,he moved just over the Minnesota border to Astoria, S.D.

His company, K & A Cattle, averages about 60 cow-calf pairs. The operation’s focus is beef cattle repro-duction, artificial insemination, embryo transfer andultrasounds. A major component is its custom donorhouse business.

“When I moved to western Minnesota, there wasan interest in the cattle business,” said Schoenfeld.“Cattle was an entity that I could participate in on asmaller scale and still be relevant. In the swineindustry, you have to have some size to be profitable,to support your family.” ❖

Jeremy FrekingTreasurer

For Jeremy Freking, communica-tion was the most important skill hedeveloped in FFA.

In fact, he built his career in com-munications, agriculture and advo-cacy — lessons learned as treasurerfor the 1989-90 Minnesota StateFFA Officer Team. Today, Freking is executive direc-

tor of South Dakota Soybean Associ-ation and South Dakota SoybeanResearch and Promotion Council.

Being an FFA state officer was atremendous opportunity for a 19-year-old college student, speaking atnumerous local FFA chapter ban-quets and advocating for youthworking in agriculture.

Michael BuschReporter

Minnesota StateFFA Reporter MichaelBusch published theFFA Newsletter fourtimes a year in addi-tion to his other stateofficer duties in 1989-90. By that point in his life, he hadalready done a lot of writing and com-municating so the newsletter was agood opportunity for him.

“I particularly appreciate State

Executive SecretaryJim Ertl’s assistanceand organization andState Advisor PaulDay’s high expecta-tions,” he said. “BothMr. Day and Jim Ertlexpected our best andpushed our team andeach of us individu-

ally.”Busch, who grew up in St. James,

Minn., had a hobby sheep operation forhis FFA projects. But the bulk of hisFFA Supervised Agricultural Experi-

ence was working at Watonwan FarmService, a farmer’s cooperative forgrain storage, marketing, seed, feed,fertilizer, chemicals and financing.Busch said he couldn’t have asked fora better mentor than Vaughn Sinclair,who is credited with turning the smallco-op into one of the most successful ofits kind in Minnesota.

“(Sinclair) demonstrated leadershipand provided me countless opportuni-ties to learn and grow,” he said.

Busch’s FFA experience became thefoundation of his career. He earned adegree in ag economics with anemphasis in marketing and agronomyfrom the University of Minnesota. Formany years, he worked in agribusinesscommunications — National HogFarmer, Beef Magazine, Cevette andCo., Campbell Mithun and MillerMeester Advertising.

Today, Busch makes his home inEden Prairie and is pursuing a secondcareer as financial advisor, compliancemanager and annuities wholesaler forAmeriprise Financial, Minneapolis.His work centers around helping peo-

ple retire.His dad, Dale Busch — St. James

High School ag teacher and FFA advi-sor — inspired him to join FFA. DaleBusch was the first generation in thefamily to work off the farm. Buschalso looked up to previous state offi-cers.

His years in FFA were a positiveexperience that offered career oppor-tunities, leadership development andpersonal growth.

“The skills and leadership from myFFA years, particularly as an FFAofficer, provided public speaking abil-ity, organization and leadershipskills,” he said.

During his interview with TheLand, memories of FFA friends, men-tors and experiences flooded back forBusch. He recalled reciting the FFAcreed, especially the value to be hon-est and fair in the game of life.

Busch’s advice for today’s FFAmembers: “Work hard and enjoy everymoment. The friendships and experi-ence will stay with you all your life.” ❖

FREKING, from pg. 6A“I really found my niche in terms of

what I enjoyed. It’s served me well inmy current career,” said Freking. “Nowthrough my work at South Dakota Soy-bean Association and Research Coun-cil, my job’s a lot like being an FFA offi-cer. I am an advocate for 13,000soybean growers inSouth Dakota.”

Freking understandsthat good communica-tion includes listening,which is key in his effortto “engage the publicabout farming.” SouthDakota Soybean is lead-ing the “Hungry forTruth” initiative to openthe conversationbetween farmers andSouth Dakotans aboutwhere their food comesfrom.

Previously, he wasexecutive director for theSouth Dakota BiotechAssociation and theSouth Dakota Pork Producers Council.He was also a crop consultant and dis-trict sales manager for Northrup-KingSeed Company.

Raised on a Jackson County corn andsoybean farm in Heron Lake, Minn.,Freking ran for state officer at the endof his senior year. As an officer, he wasa freshman at St. Cloud State Univer-sity, only pulling half a class loadbecause being an FFA officer requiredso much travel.

Sophomore year, Freking transferredto the University of Minnesota andearned a degree in agriculture indus-tries and marketing, with a plant andsoil science emphasis.

“I think FFA played a major role in

the industry I wanted to pursue,” hesaid. “I just knew that the ag industryhad so many opportunities to pursue acareer in.”

For his Supervised AgriculturalExperience, Freking worked at astrawberry farm and tree nursery inHeron Lake. His team placed in the top

10 in the nation in thenursery/landscape con-test. To this day, he canidentify a tree andshrub from a barebranch. A couple ofyears ago, he land-scaped his home with65 varieties of trees,shrubs and plants.

“It’s amazing howmuch of that knowl-edge has stuck with meall these years,” hesaid.

Freking also com-peted successfully inpublic speaking andparliamentary proce-dure events. He gave a

“shout out” to FFA advisors LouiseWorm and Keith Place at Heron Lake-Okabena High School.

He said he truly enjoyed being amember of the officer team, especiallyrunning the state summer leadershipcamps.

“We were a team,” said Freking. “Wecarried out a mission. We worked verywell together. Those were fond memo-ries.”

Freking encourages all high schoolstudents to get involved in FFA.

“Some of the skills you learnthrough FFA will prove invaluable inyour future endeavors,” he said. “Say‘yes’ when opportunity knocks on thedoor.” ❖

‘We carried out a mission’

I really foundmy niche interms of what Ienjoyed. It’sserved me wellin my currentcareer. ... Myjob’s a lot likebeing an FFAofficer.

Cindy Yerbich BruningSentinel

Minnesota State FFA SentinelCindy Yerbich Bruning got a kickout of educating city people atthe 1989 Minnesota State Fairchildren’s barnyard. She recalledthat some visitors thought thebaby chicks were ducks.

“Someone called a llama a cow,” said Bruning. “Ithought ‘Oh my goodness, this is new.’”

Growing up in Puposky, Minn., Bruning knew thedifference between a cow and a llama. Her family’sdairy farm went beef when she was in eighth grade.Her brother still farms today.

Bruning served for two years as a regional FFAofficer before she made state officer in 1989-90. She

had graduated fromBlackduck High School.During her service, sheattended North DakotaState University.

“It was a fun chal-lenge,” she said. “Ittaught me a lot aboutmyself and it helped megive back a little bit,

which I really enjoyed.”Today Bruning lives in Bemidji with

her husband, Marcus Bruning, andher three children. She is a teacher for deaf/hard ofhearing and blind/visually impaired students atBemidji Area Schools.

“I think (being in FFA) helped me be more confi-dent, speak before a group, be comfortable in a public

setting,” she said.As the only woman on the 1989-90

officer team, she received the fulleffect of the chivalrous mannersinstilled in the male officers.

“Every time I stood up, the guysstood up,” Bruning said. “The guyshad to wait on me.”

The state Greenhand LeadershipConference and Camp in McGregorwas most memorable for Bruning.The leadership camp is planned and

led by the state officers for first-year FFA members.During a baseball game in which she played catcher,she got poison ivy on her ankles. Then Bruning hadto wear the officer uniform of a black skirt, FFAjacket and nylons. The nylons caused the poison ivyto spread up her legs.

“It wasn’t an option. You wore official dress cor-rectly,” said Bruning of the dress code. “You lookedofficial. You looked professional.”

While she is no longer involved in agriculture, herFFA experience helped prepare her for a career ineducation, which requires both leadership skills andconfidence in speaking before a group.

“It’s really good for anyone — parliamentary proce-dure, job interview — you wouldn’t have to be inagriculture to benefit from it. It’s just well-roundedactivities that you can be involved in,” said Bruning.

For instance, she enjoyed the local chapter activi-ties that weren’t ag-related, such as summer trips tothe Boundary Waters. To this day, she loves the out-doors. She enjoys mud runs, hunting, fishing, four-wheeling and snowmobiling.

“We just bought a house on the Mississippi,” saidBruning, “so we will be playing on the river this sum-mer.” ❖

ORANGE CITY, Iowa — Manyschools can boast of a heritage of FFAchapters that date back for decades,some even to FFA’s beginnings in1928 when Walter A. Newman pro-posed an organization that wouldoffer farm boys a “a greater opportu-nity for self-expression and for thedevelopment of leadership.”

Each year less than a handful ofschools elect to begin an FFA chapter.This can only happen when a schoolincludes agriculture studies in theircurriculum. Unity Christian HighSchool in Orange City, Iowa, has donejust that.

“The ag program came about as aresult of a board strategic retreat in2012,” said Wayne Dykstra, UCHSprincipal. “At this retreat the No. 1action was to build a hands-on pro-gram at Unity in the vocational edu-cation area. That eventually becameag.”

Several board members visitedschools with strong ag and vocationaled programs, said Dykstra. The visitsto Rock Valley and West Lyon highschools really got the process rolling.

Notices were posted that an agteacher was needed. Dennis Bensongenerally ignored those, but this e-mail he retained. UCHS hadn’treceived many inquiries for theirsearch for an ag teacher.

On a Tuesday in February, Dykstraasked the mom’s prayer group to prayabout it.

The next day the Board for Maple Val-ley-Anthon Oto school district did some-thing unusual. The Board offered earlyretirement for those who qualified.

Benson qualified. For the last 35years he had taught ag courses and wasthe FFA advisor for the school district.

On Thursday, Benson called MikeSchouten, an ag instructor at DordtCollege. Benson knew Schouten pro-fessionally and through Schouten’sinvolvement in volleyball. Benson isalso a volleyball coach.

Schouten’s response was that he wason the committee for developingUnity’s ag instruction. He encouragedBenson to apply.

“Because Mr. Benson is a great aginstructor that has developed an out-standing ag program and FFA chapterat Maple Valley-Anthon Oto Highschool,” said Schouten. “Mr. Bensonhas the right personality and experi-ence to get Unity’s ag program startedon the right track.”

Friday morning, Benson and Dyk-stra talked again by phone. On Sun-day, the Bensons came up to have alook at the school. Within six days ofthe Unity mom’s prayer group prayingfor an ag instructor, the high schoolhad its first ag instructor.

“God has had his hand in making allthis work,” said Benson. “I am con-vinced that I am where I should benow.”

“Unity is blessed to have this veteranteacher,” said Schouten. “It takes a lotof time and work to start an ag pro-gram and FFA chapter. I am thankfulthat Mr. Benson is up for that chal-lenge.”Seeding an ag program

Developing a new ag program is anarduous task. Benson first thought itwould be fairly simple to take 35 yearsof work and get it done in two months.That work even included building ashop — the room 36 feet by 45 feet wasthere. It needed to be redesigned andoutfitted with tools the students wouldneed. Since Unity Christian is a pri-

UNITY, from pg. 10Avate school, fundraising wasinvolved.

“The community has beenvery generous,” said Benson.“Building the shop became ourfirst project. It was a hands-onoperation as we did as much ofthe work ourselves as possibleto build welding tables, wood-working tables, a storageshed, and pouring concrete.”

The students now spend time learn-ing to weld. This spring the agmechanic students will be constructinga 24-foot by 60-foot greenhouse.

“It will be hands-on leaning aboutplants,” said Benson. “Growing veg-etable and flowering plants that can bemarketed. A high tunnel is planned forthe following year.”

About one third of Unity’s student areenrolled in the ag program. The 93-stu-

dent ratio is similar to his previousschool — one third girls, two-thirds boys.

FFA often accompanies schools thathave ag programs. The Unity Christ-ian chapter became a member of theIowa FFA Association in 2014.

“It is something new for the studentsand parents,” said Benson. “Parentscan talk about their involvement inFFA, its contests and leadership pro-grams. Things are happening here, it isbuilding.”

In March, the Unity Christian chap-ter distributed the first fruit fromFFA’s famous fruit sales.

Benson said he hopes to continue his

annual summer trips.“There is so much to know about

agriculture,” he said. “Each trip isplanned to show something differentand to teach an appreciation for ournatural resources.”

A trip to Alaska is among hisfavorite trips. The FFA members sawa reindeer farm, musk ox operationand a salmon hatchery. He is plan-ning a canoe trip to the BoundaryWaters that will include SoudanUnderground Iron Mines, Interna-tional Wolf Center and a honey beeoperation. ❖

Minnesota is running short onag teachers. The University ofMinnesota isn’t graduatingenough ag ed majors to fill the gap.Southwest Minnesota State Uni-versity in Marshall to the rescue.

“Starting this August 2015, we’llbe offering an ag education majorwith two options: become a high school ag teacher orchange a few courses and become an agriculturalmarketing/ communications specialist,” said GeraldToland, Ph.D.

Toland is a professor of agribusiness and econom-ics at SMSU. The University of Minnesota is gradu-ating 14 to 15 students in agricultural educationper year, but the openings for ag teachers in Min-nesota is currently about 35, said Toland.

“So we have an obvious gap,” he said, “which rightnow is mostly being filled by qualified ag ed gradu-ates from the surrounding states. But those statesare also facing ag teacher shortages. It’s not just aMinnesota problem; it’s a national challenge.”

Supply and demand is why this is happening.According to Toland, there’s an increased interestby high schools nationwide wanting to teach agri-culture to their students. As science keeps expand-

ing in the minds of young people, sotoo does their interest in America’sfood chain — where, how and bywhom food is produced.

“Also within theteaching fraternitya lot of ag teachersare reachingretirement age,”Toland said.“Industry keeps

finding ag teachers are generallywell qualified to make careerchanges into industry. So those twoexoduses are adding to the growingshortage.”

Raphael Onyeaghala, dean of the College of Busi-ness, Education and Professional Studies at South-west Minnesota State University, said he is excitedabout the ag education program starting up inAugust.

“Students are already looking forward to this newcurriculum. Interest in food production is a big thingwith students these days,” said Onyeaghala

Originally from Nigeria, Onyeaghala has a Ph.D.in agricultural economics from the University of Illi-nois. He came to SMSU from the University ofNebraska-Kearney.

Qualified SMSU faculty members are already inplace to teach students. Toland and two other Ph.D.staffers will handle the economics programs and theag business management courses. In addition,

SMSU will provide an agronomyprofessor and specialists in out-reach recruitment and marketingfor agricultural programs.

“One of our staffers will be indirect contact with all of the FFAprograms throughout the statemaking them aware of these newopportunities here at SMSU,” saidToland.

Onyeaghala said the agriculturalprogram at SMSU continues to expand as evidencedby the growing number of agricultural business andmarketing firms doing on campus interviews at theschool. Foreign students continue to find SMSU forspecial training. In fact, he recruits students fromTaiwan and this fall will be welcoming another groupof Taiwanese students to the Marshall campus.

Diversity is a trademark of SMSU, with studentsfrom across the nation and several foreign countries.

“We encourage diversity,” said Onyeaghala. “Welive and now work in a global communit — that isespecially true of agriculture — so that needs to bepart of our broader mission, too.” ❖

Minnesota farmers took advantage of the 2.7 dayssuitable for fieldwork to start planting small grainsduring the week ending April 5, according to the U.S.Department of Agriculture’s National AgriculturalStatistics Service. This was the most days suitable tostart the growing season since 2012.

Frost was reportedly still coming out of the groundin the northern two-thirds of the state, and produc-ers were waiting to evaluate the extent of winter killin alfalfa. Field activities for the week includedapplying fertilizer, spreading manure, and tillingfields.

Topsoil moisture supplies were rated five percentvery short, 35 percent short, 59 percent adequate,and one percent surplus. Subsoil moisture supplieswere rated four percent very short, 35 percent short,61 percent adequate, and zero percent surplus.

Five percent of Minnesota’s oat acreage wasplanted, over two weeks ahead of last year but threedays behind the five-year average. There were scat-tered reports of barley and spring wheat beingplanted, except in the northern part of the state.

Pasture condition rated four percent very poor, 18percent poor, 56 percent fair, 22 percent good, andzero percent excellent. Respondents reported thatdry conditions have limited pasture growth. Live-stock producers reported calving progressing with nomajor complications.

IowaWarm temperatures and mostly dry conditions

over much of the state allowed farmers to continueanhydrous applications and tillage activities duringthe week ending April 5, according to NASS. How-ever, reports of lingering frost in northern Iowa fieldswere received.

Anhydrous supply issues were reported in areas ofSouthwest Iowa. Statewide there were 4.2 days suit-able for fieldwork. East central and southeasternIowa were the only two districts in the State thataveraged over five days suitable for fieldwork.

Topsoil moisture levels rated three percent veryshort, 25 percent short, 70 percent adequate and twopercent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated threepercent very short, 24 percent short, 71 percent ade-quate and two percent surplus, significantly higherthan 2014 percentage when two-thirds of Iowareported short to very short subsoil moisture.

Seventeen percent of oats have been planted, fourdays ahead of last year, but four days behind the five-year average.

Pasture condition rated four percent very poor, 15percent poor, 48 percent fair, 30 percent good, andthree percent excellent. Livestock conditions weredescribed as average, with the mostly dry weatheraiding calving and lambing conditions in the state.

When the Iowa FFA Associa-tion holds its 87th LeadershipConference April 19-21 at IowaState University’s Hilton Coli-seum in Ames, the organiza-tion could break last year’srecord attendance of 5,400.

Iowa State FFA PresidentAbrah Meyer is looking forward to anexpected 5,500 members and support-ers coming together, reuniting and cel-ebrating the accomplishments of FFAin the past year.

“There’s a lot of energy and excite-ment at the state convention,” saidMeyer.

The Iowa FFA Conference is thefifth-largest state convention in theNational FFA organization. Iowa FFAhas roughly 14,650 members.

“We are growing. That’s a great thingto be part of,” said Iowa FFA ExecutiveSecretary Scott Johnson.

During the conference, Iowa FFAand Meals from the Heartland will

package 250,000 meals. Morethan 1,500 members areexpected to volunteer in thisevent. If the goal is met, thenFFA will have packed one mil-lion rice-soy meals for those inneed in Iowa and around theworld.

“We are going to be packingour millionth meal for our

service project over the last fouryears,” said Meyer. “That’s somethingwe have been anticipating and we’reexcited to have happening.”

“Go All Out” is the theme for thisyear’s convention. Geared toward lead-ership, growth and success, the themechallenges FFA members to “Go AllOut” in everything they do.

While Meyer’s term as a state officeris coming to an end, her FFA career isfar from over. A sophomore at IowaState University studying agriculturalbusiness, she plans to join the FFA col-legiate chapter at the university. Shealso has aspirations to run for anational FFA office.

Based on her involvement over thelast six years, FFA is the best organi-zation in which Meyer has beeninvolved. A member of the Wapsie Val-ley FFA Chapter, Meyer grew up on asmall corn and soybean farm outside ofReadlyn. She has enjoyed meeting somany members from across the state

and country this past year.“It has made the biggest impact in

my life, the people I’ve met, the placesI’ve got to visit, the experiences I’vehad,” said Meyer.

The opportunity to interact with herofficer teammates has been meaning-ful, as she has seen them grow as peo-ple and leaders and watched theimpact that they have had on otherpeople. Meyer is impressed by thenumber of FFA members that are liv-ing the mission to be servant leaders.

“So many people have so many dif-ferent perspectives, but in advocatingand serving FFA, they are on thesame page and have the same corevalues,” she said.

Meanwhile her career in agricultureis underway, as she will be interningwith Monsanto this summer. ❖

More Minnesota turkey flockstested positive for H5N2, the highly-pathogenic avian influenza, for a totalof nine infected sites as of April 8.

Two sites in Kandiyohi County wereidentified: one with 26,000 birds andanother with 30,000 birds. A thirdflock in Stearns County with 76,000birds was identified. The latestinfected flock with 310,000 turkeys isin Meeker County.

Poultry are at risk for the virus dueto the return of migratory waterfowlon the Mississippi flyway, accordingto Bill Hartmann, state veterinarianwith the Minnesota Board of AnimalHealth.

It is not known, however, how thevirus is getting into the turkey barns.

“We do not know the exact mecha-nism that the virus is getting into thebarns,” said Hartmann. “Our poultry

industry is practicing good biosecurity.It’s not just Minnesota, but nation-wide, since this is happening in otherstates.”

Biosecurity is more critical thanever. One turkey producer told Hart-mann that nothing that touches theground outside of the barn shouldtouch the ground inside the barn. Soboots and coveralls should be usedonly inside one particular barn.

One barn of three in the new StearnsCounty site was infected and one offour barns on Kandiyohi site 1 wasinfected as of April 6. Both Kandiyohi

producers noted increased death loss.While Minnesota law prevents Hart-

mann from disclosing the location ofthe infected flocks, he said the twoStearns County infected flocks are twoto three miles apart and the third siteis further out. The Kandiyohi farm isnot on the Stearns-Kandiyohi border.

“We can’t find any connection whereit would have been spread from onefarm to the other,” said Hartmann.Under quarantine

Once flocks test positive, state officalsquarantine the premises and eutha-nize the birds on the property. Stateofficials also work with the producersto develop flock plans which includeappraisal and indemnity agreements,carcass disposal and cleaning and dis-infection of the facilities.

As of April 8, the total number ofturkeys affected with the virus was683,000 reported the Minnesota Boardof Animal Health.

This represents a very small percent-age of the number of turkeys in Min-nesota and it’s too early to tell how thevirus will affect the turkey market,said Margaret Hart, communicationsdirector of the Minnesota Departmentof Agriculture.No. 1 turkey producer

Minnesota has about 450 farms rais-ing 46 million turkeys annually,according to the Minnesota TurkeyGrowers Association. Minnesota is theNo. 1 turkey producer in the UnitedStates, and Kandiyohi is the No. 1 pro-ducing county, followed by Stearns.

With the virus affecting the heart ofwhere turkey is grown, state officialshave brought in an incident manage-ment team and field staff from the U.S.Department of Agriculture to assistwith the workload.

Once the virus is found in a turkeyflock, officials establish a 10-kilometer

FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONVisit www.mnairesponse.info for the most up-to-date information on Minnesota’sresponse to H5N2 avian influenza. The siteincludes biosecurity procedures, responsezone maps and USDA stakeholderannouncements.

See AVIAN FLU, pg. 17A

AVIAN FLU, from pg. 16Acontrol zone. The birds in this zone are tested. Out-side of the control zone is a surveillance zone. Pro-ducers in this zone are notified and asked to reportany death losses.

The virus thrives in cold, damp situations so asweather warms, we may see less of the virus, Hart-mann said. In the meantime, he is mobilizing to stopthe spread.

“A lot of people are on the ground and prepared tomake sure we get rid of this,” said Hartmann.

Every turkey flock is tested prior to going to theprocessing plant to ensure that infected turkeys donot go to market, he said.Waterfowl

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resourcesis responding to the outbreak by testing wild water-fowl in the affected counties. Michelle Carstensen,DNR wildlife health program supervisor, said staffwill bait birds to get them to come to shore in orderto gather fresh fecal matter for lab testing.

State DNR staff will practice good biosecurity intheir staff and vehicles, she said.

“We are not going to be able to change the way thebirds are moving through the environment,” saidCarstensen.

The goal is to raises awareness and understandthe prevalence of the virus in the environment, shesaid. “Wild waterfowl are the reservoirs for theseviruses.”Public health

H5N2 does not pose a risk to the public health or

affect food safety, said Joni Scheftel, public healthveterinarian for the Minnesota Department ofHealth.

In Minnesota and in other parts of the country, thevirus has caused no infections in poultry producerswho have had intense contact with infected birds,she said.

The state Department of Health identifies people

working on the affected farm and interviews them.Those who have had intense contact with the birdsare recommended an antiviral medication such asTamiflu. Then for 10 days following the last expo-sure, respiratory symptoms are monitored via text,phone or e-mail.

“The infected flocks do not go to market,” saidScheftel. ❖

Grain AnglesBe sure to get

the full messageI was able to attend Commodity Classic at the end

of February in Phoenix, Ariz. This is a large conven-tion that features National Corn Growers, Soybeanand Sorghum associations. It features a trade showand many informational seminars. This year hadrecord attendance, with over 3,700 farmers.

The hot topic, the new buzzword, was “big data.” You haveprobably heard about it andeveryone is wondering how do weuse it, compile it, and who owns itand has access to it. Those itemswill be sorted through and figuredout, but it might take a while.

One of the interesting seminarsI attended was a speaker talkingabout the grain markets. As youcan imagine, there are a lot ofopinions on where the marketsmay be heading and each speakerhas a different perspective.

As I listened to the speaker, he was telling hisfarmer audience that the corn and soybean markets,as he sees them, are bullish, which means they haveupside potential.

This surprised me somewhat and he continued talk-ing about the upside and that we should not be dis-couraged with the market as it will be moving higher.

The entire time I was concerned that everyone inthat room will just hold on to their crop and not mar-ket until the price goes a lot higher, and there is noguarantee of that happening. People remember whatthey want to hear.

As the speaker was summarizing his presentation,he made a few comments that, hopefully, everyone

Grain OutlookStocks higherthan expected

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing April 3.

CORN — The March 31 U.S. Department of Agri-culture Prospective Planting and Grain Stocks as ofMarch 1 reports set the tone going forward, but theplanting weather just moved upthe ladder of importance. Let’saddress the stocks report first.

Corn stocks as of March 1 were7.745 billion bushels, 136 millionbushels more than expected and737 million more bushels (11percent increase) than we hadavailable a year ago.

On-farm stocks were 4.38 bil-lion bushels (up 13 percent year-to-year) and off-farm bushelswere 3.36 billion bushels (up 7percent year-to-year). In Min-nesota, corn stocks were 773million bushels versus 796 million bushels last year.

The percentage of on-farm stocks at 57 percent isthe highest in the last five years. The implication issecond quarter feed/residual of 1.43 billion bushelsand brings first half feed/residual usage at 3.65 bil-lion bushels. Over the last four years, first halffeed/residual accounted for 73-76 percent of annualfeed use. The new number equates to just 69 percentof annual usage. This could set the table for upwardrevisions toward 2 billion bushels on 2014-15 endingstocks on subsequent reports.

Corn planted acreage was reported at 89.2 millionacres, down two percent or 1.4 million acres fromlast year, slightly higher than the 88.7 million acreestimate. This would be the third consecutive year of

Livestock AnglesHogs, cattle onpositive trend

The livestock markets are starting the month ofApril with a positive attitude toward both the hogand cattle markets. Both markets have seen cashprices and the futures market improve during thepast few weeks — the hogs from improved demandfor pork, and cattle because oftight supplies of live inventory.

The cattle market continues toprove to have good underlyingsupport due to the significanttight supplies. This is forcing thepackers to compete for live inven-tories through aggressive bid-ding, which keeps the cash pricein a firm stance.

The futures market has beenreluctant to follow this scenarioas, from a demand standpoint,the market is weak, and theboxed beef trade is noticeablywell below in volume over the past couple of years.

For the near term, it does not appear that thisstruggle between supply and demand will cease.Therefore the possibility is good that the cash tradein cattle will remain firm and the futures market willcontinue to lag behind the cash price.

The reason for the disconnect between cash andfutures is that the futures are anticipating thechange in supplies along with the continued sluggishdemand for beef. On the other hand, the cash is astraight reflection of the current condition of a tightsupply of market-ready cattle. Producers should con-tinue to monitor both supply and demand conditionsand protect inventories as needed.

MAY’14 JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC JAN’15 FEB MAR APR

NYSTROM, from pg. 18Acorn acreage declines and the lowestacreage since 2010. Minnesota acreagewas 8.5 million acres, up 300,000 from2014. Wisconsin showed a 100,000-acreincrease, while Illinois, Ohio and Mis-souri all showed a 200,000-acre decline.Iowa, North Dakota and Indiana weredown 100,000 each, and South Dakotahad a huge 600,000-acre decrease.Sorghum acreage was estimated at 7.9million acres, below pre-report ideas,but up 762,000 from last year.

Of the principal crops planted in theUnited States, this year’s acreage isdown 2 million acres from last year at324.8 million acres and comparable to2013 acres of 324.9 million acres.Funds were huge sellers on report day,before rebuying about half of it by theend of the short trading week.

Weekly export sales were on the lowside of expectations and the secondsmallest of the marketing year at 16million bushels for old crop and onemillion bushels for new crop. We needto average 17.6 million bushels perweek to achieve the USDA outlook for1.8 billion bushels of exports. Theweekly average, if accomplished,would be the highest in five years fromthis point in the marketing year.

An interesting part of this week’ssales included Japan canceling theirentire sorghum open book. Sorghumhas been trading at a premium to corndue to China’s record buying interest(no genetically modified organismissues with U.S. sorghum), givingsorghum buyers the opportunity tocancel sorghum and buy corn.

OUTLOOK: Corn took a big price hiton report day, bounced the following day,but at the end of the holiday-shortenedweek May corn was down 4 1⁄2 cents at$3.86 1⁄2 per bushel. The December con-tract dropped 4 1⁄4 cents for the week toclose at $4.10 1⁄2 per bushel. The USDAreports were termed bearish overall.The upside in corn is limited given theheavy stocks number, but the downsidemay be limited until the crop is in theground with planting delays in theSouth and the Ohio River Valley.

The first official planting progressreport will be released on April 6.Traders may also be building in a riskpremium for spring weather, which isnot unusual. May corn’s short termrange is $3.67 to $4.00 and the Decem-ber corn range is $3.92 to $4.22 perbushel. The monthly USDA report willbe released April 9. Based on the higherMarch 1 corn stocks number, an increasein ending stocks will be anticipated.

SOYBEANS — TheUSDA reports were thehighlight of the holiday-shortened week. Recapping the soybeanstocks report, the 1.334 billion bushelstocks as of March 1 were in-line withtrade expectations, but up 34 percentfrom last year’s 994 million bushels onMarch 1. Of the stocks, 609 million wereon-farm (60 percent higher year-to-yearand the highest since 2010) and 725million off-farm (up 18 percent year-to-year). Minnesota stocks were 122 mil-lion bushels versus 109 million bushelslast year. The soybean stock report wasinterpreted at neutral.

Prospective planting came in at arecord 84.635 million acres, up one per-cent or 934,000 acres from last year’s83.7 million acres, but 1.3 million acresless than the pre-report forecasts. His-torically, in five of the last six years, theJune soybean acreage report has beenbigger than the March estimate sodepending on planting weather manywill look for some degree of added acreson future reports.

State by state planting changes fromlast year were as follows: Minnesota up150,000, Arkansas up 210,000 acres,Illinois and Indiana up 100,000 each,Iowa up 200,000, Ohio up 250,000acres; decreases were noted in Kansaswith 200,000 less acres, Nebraska300,000 lower, and North Dakota100,000 less acres. With acreageexpected to increase going forwardbased on history and delayed cornplanting in the South, outlooks for2015-16 ending stocks should keep anynew crop upside potential in check.

Brazilian harvest moved forward tonearly 90 percent complete as of theend of April 1 and in-line with averageprogress. Brazilian farmers had soldonly 53 percent of their crop by thatdate, behind last year’s 63 percent soldwhen they had a smaller crop. Thismeans more competition for theUnited States. They have reportedlystarted to sell their 2015-16 crop withtheir currency at 12-year lows.

Argentina’s one-day transportationstrike on March 31 continued into daytwo. Discussions between the Argen-tine government and truckers will con-tinue for 15 days and no major disrup-tions are expected during that time.

The Buenos Aires Cereal Exchangeincreased its Argentine bean crop out-look from 57 million metric tons to58.5 mmt. The last USDA outlook was56 mmt. Crush workers are strikingfor a pay increase and an increase inthe income level from which workersare exempt from paying national

income tax. The strikesmay slow the export

pace, but it’s too early tosay what impact it could have on U.S.exports. Argentina’s soybean harvestis pegged at 7 percent complete versusnearly 10 percent last year.

Weekly export sales for old crop werea disappointment at just one millionbushels, but were an impressive 21million bushels for new crop. Totalcommitments for 2014-15 continue torun nine percent ahead of last year,but 2015-16 sales are half what theywere last year at this juncture. Weneed to average 2.6 million bushels perweek in old crop sales to hit the USDAforecast of 1.79 billion bushels.

OUTLOOK: On March 31, May soy-beans traded an 18 3⁄4 cent range in thefirst minute after the USDA reportswere released in indecisive trading. Thesoybean reports were generally viewedas bullish. By the end of the short weekof trading, May soybeans were up 18 3⁄4cents at $9.86 per bushel and Novem-ber soybeans were 25 1⁄2 cents higherat $9.74 1⁄4 per bushel. However, going

forward, we may expect soybeanacreage numbers to climb, and let usnot forget the current year on yearforecast for an increase in endingstocks. May soybeans find first supportat $9.50 with resistance at $10.00 perbushel. After this week’s spike lower,support in the November contract is$9.33 with first resistance at $9.90,then $10.05 per bushel.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes forthe week ending April 2: Chicago wheatrallied 28 1⁄2 cents higher, Minneapoliswheat was up 20 1⁄2 cents and KansasCity wheat jumped 29 3⁄4 cents higher.Wheat stocks as of March 1 werereported at 1.124 billion bushels, up sixpercent year-to-year, but in line withforecasts.All wheat acres at 55.4 millionwere slightly less than expectations anddown three percent year on year. Maycrude oil was up 27 cents for the week tosettle at $49.14, ultra-low-sulfur dieseldropped nearly four cents, reformulatedblendstock for oxygenate blending was 31⁄2 cents lower and natural gas gained7 1⁄2 cents. The U.S. dollar index wasdown 0.746 for the week. ❖

Prospective soybean planting tops 84 million acresMARKETING

TEALE, from pg. 18Aprice, is finally showing signs of improv-ing. The fact that the numbers of mar-ket-ready hogs has declined and thedemand for pork remains strong hasbolstered the current rally in prices.

A question still remains as towhether or not this is a mere correc-tion in an oversold market or thebeginning of a new trend. Because ofthe amount of pork in cold storage, it islikely that this current change indirection will meet some resistancedue to that supply of pork.

This will make a sharp rally in price

fairly unlikely unless there are more fun-damental changes in either supply ordemand.Thanks to the disparity betweenhog and cattle prices, the demand in porkshould remain more attractive than beefat the wholesale level.

The other positive news item wasthat the U.S. Department of Agricul-ture Hogs and Pigs report indicatednot as many hogs are expected in themonths ahead. This should help keepa more positive posture to the hogmarket in the weeks ahead.

Producers are urged to remain cur-rent with their inventories and protectfuture marketings as warranted. ❖

Sharp rally unlikely in pork

HUNEKE, from pg. 18Aheard. He is bullish on the market, butbelieves we could get to $4.75 futureson corn and maybe $11.00 on soy-beans.

I would be willing to bet that all thepeople in the room thought he was ear-lier projecting $5.50 corn and $13.00beans when he started out talkingabout a bullish market.

MARSHALL, Minn. — Contro-versy is heating up over a 500-acresolar park to be built near Marshall,in Stanley township. Florida-basedNextEra Energy Resources, theenergy giant behind this project, alsoacquired a portion of the BuffaloRidge Wind Farm turbines in 2003.

Farmers John and Janelle Geurts’property line borders the proposedsolar park. Janelle suspects it will beMay before the Minnesota PublicUtilities Commission and NextEraofficials will have a public meeting inMarshall.

The Geurts and neighboring farm-ers have united with a Save OurFarms online petition. The petitionasks signers to oppose the 500-acre,62.25 megawatt solar park to be builtby NextEra Energy.

The petition states: “Ten familyfarms will live within one mile of theland, where rich and abundant cropsgrown for decades will be replaced byan inefficient and out of place energy

source. We are concerned of the possiblehealth risks being forced upon thesefamilies, the value of their propertiesdepleting, the disruption of naturalhabitat and the loss of county control.”

As of April 8, the petition has 510signatures with a goal of 1,000 signa-tures. The petition and signatures willbe presented to the MPUC and NextEra officials at the public meeting.

“We’re passing this petition along toGovernor Dayton to let him know theopposition to this project,” said JanelleGeurts.

A new state mandate requires util-ity companies to generate 1.5 percentof electricity from the sun by 2020.

“The solar industry has really goneto town with this mandate,” saidGeurts. “It’s not that we’re againstsolar. It’s the simple fact that 500 acresof very prime farmland will be takenout of food production. CapX is builtalongside this solar park area so theyhad an easy and logical choice for thislocation.”

CapX2020 is an expanded electric

transmission grid that supportsrenewable energy in Minnesota, NorthDakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

The Geurts are longtime farmingfriends of the land owners selling theacres to the solar project.

“We’re still are friends, even thoughit’s a bit awkward now. We heard theyconsidered pulling back on the projectbut now it’s too late,” said Geurts.

John Geurts said that the projectwill have a 25-year life, but he wonderswhat the condition of that soil will beafter 25 years of void conditions.

“It’s disturbing. We all take a lot ofpride in how we take care of our landand our farming responsibilities,” saidJanelle Geurts. “We have serious con-cerns how this land will farm afterbeing blanketed with solar panels for25 years. John and I have both gottenwell educated on renewable and solarenergy.”

The proposed solar park made theMarch 29 Minneapolis Star Tribune.Business and energy writer DavidShaffer wrote that “Energy companies

have proposed 25 sites across the statefor ground-mounted solar panels.”

Lyon County farmer Tom Allex alsovoiced concerns. He said there could beother locations that have less primeland and do not crowd people. He saidseven farm residences live within ahalf mile of this proposed site.

“Our biggest concern is that we thinkthe property values of these sevenneighboring farms will be cut in half.I’m a half mile away but wonder if thismight also lower my farm value,” hesaid.

Allex understands the state mandatefor clean, non-polluting power.

“But the problem is we’re taking 500acres of prime farmland without con-sideration to all the neighbors,” hesaid. “One neighbor will have solarpanels on all four sides of his farm.They’ve now agreed to move themback, a bigger setback so it’s not rightup against your house and property.”

Allex is concerned about invertersused in generating solar energy.

“There’s a little danger there,” saidAllex. “This can be a cancer-causingsituation according to some internetinformation. They (project developers)admit there can be a danger, but thesepanels will be located far enough from

houses so that shouldn’t be a problem.Apparently they are concerned enoughso now they are putting in only half asmany inverters, but they will each betwice as large.”

Accessing these land parcels is amatter of money according to Allex.

“You offer some farmer twice as

much as what his land is worth andyou’ve bought it,” he said.

Project details are slowly unfolding.Allex learned that solar parks largerthan 50 mega watts must be controlledby the state.

“So our local county commissionersand township boards have virtually

nothing to say,” he said.

Allex also heard that the power fromthis project goes into a grid feeding theTwin Cities and possibly Chicago.

“So there’s absolutely no benefit to usin terms of lower electrical costs,” saidAllex. ❖

LAMBERTON, Minn. —Fewer but heavier rain eventsare in our future, and farmersneed to account for that whenmaking cropping plans.

“More capacity for waterstress is on the landscape,” saidIowa State University Exten-sion soils specialist Jerry Hat-field, at a weather and climateevent March 16 at the SouthwestResearch and Outreach Center inLamberton. “Climate determineswhere we grow a crop; weatherdetermines how much we produce.”

Hatfield, director of the National Labo-ratory for Agriculture and the Environ-ment based at ISU in Ames, is known forhis research on soil, plants, resilient crop-ping systems and climate change. Hereceived his Ph.D. from ISU in agricul-tural climatology and statistics.Past pres-ident of the American Society of Agron-

omy, he has written numerouspublications and books.

The following is from a briefQ&A session with Hatfield.

Q: How do you visualize thefarming landscape 20 yearsfrom now in view of the cli-mate change you predict?

Hatfield: We’ll see an increas-ing diversity of crop mix. We builtour current production system ona relatively stable environment.When we have stable conditionswe know what the risk profilelooks like. But with increasingly

schizophrenic weather and climate we’relooking at higher risks profiles. And thatlikely will suggest a mixture of springcrops, summer crops, even winter cropsto spread risks over a longer season.

Q: Might the corn and soybeanswe grow today be significantly dif-ferent 20 years from now to betterfit into the new weather scenario?

Hatfield: Today no one knows theanswer. Will corn and soybeans con-tinue their movement into the westernand northern geographies of theUnited States like they have been

doing for the past decade? Or willthese variable weather patternsbecome such a high risk factor that

Hatfield: Climate change will force ag diversity

Jerry Hatfield

See HATFIELD, pg. 24A

HATFIELD, from pg. 23Acorn and soybeans become question-able crop choices. Perhaps wintercrops will predominate because theheat and variability of rainfall willseriously limit spring crops. Today theclimate models aren’t specific enoughto spell out what crops will best work

20 years from now. However a classicexample is the winter wheat belt whichhas been moving north out of Texas,Oklahoma, even parts of Kansasbecause of less seasonal moisture.

Q: Can genetic changes in cornmake it better able to withstandthese future changes?

Hatfield: Yes, I think so. Look atwhat plant breeders have done already.Hybrids have become much more stresstolerant to both heat and moistureextremes. But the reality is that we’regetting to the point in climate that eventhose attributes in plants aren’t able towithstand the greater stress of weather.That was our prediction in the 2014report, “The Effects of Climate Changeon Agriculture, Land Resources, WaterResources and Biodiversity.” We indi-cated agriculture would be relativelysafe until 2050. But at that point andbeyond with increasing temperaturesand stress conditions, crops that wegrow today may not be able to cope withthe environment beyond 2050.

Q: Are our intensive ag practicesaccelerating these challenges?

Hatfield: Actually we have a morestable agriculture here in the UnitedStates comparable with other parts ofthe world. Africa, India, China, Aus-tralia — all those areas of the globe arelikely going to experience a lot more cli-mate change and a lot more negativeimpacts on their agriculture than willthe United States. Here in the UnitedStates we farm in a somewhat temper-ate zone with all sorts of variationshappening but our climate continues tofavor our agriculture more so thanagriculture in other countries. We areblessed with really good soils. India, ahuge country now with the largest pop-ulation, is still self-sufficient in foodproduction. But 20 years from now thatlikely won’t be so. The major problem

with China is that they have sodegraded their soil resources over theyears that their crop productivity willbe forever challenged. Any disruptionin climate will cause a major disrup-tion in production in China.

Q: Can the U.S. farm bill do any-thing to rectify what is happeningto our landscape?

Hatfield: One would hope thatincreasing emphasis on conservationpractices and renewed emphasis on pro-moting diversity of cropping systems canbe a major thrust of any farm bill. Ourfarm bills really promote monoculturesyet we know the long-term values of ourland resources are not enhanced thatway. We really need to promote muchmore diversity into our rural landscape.

Q: Can double cropping withselected fall-seeded cover crops bepart of that new landscape?

Hatfield: Definitely. Even penny-cress, mostly regarded as a weed, canwork when double cropped with soy-beans. The demand for oil seed cropskeeps expanding. I think pennycress isa good example of domesticating aweed into a viable oil crop. Plus it’s anice niche of what I advocate, and thatis promoting rotations. I look at penny-cress as an economic cover crop. Wejust need to figure out the best way togrow it and double cropping with soy-beans is an alternative. Ingenuity inagriculture that promotes diversitywith a very viable crop for the end useris our challenge. ❖

By NANCY MADSENMankato Free Press

Farm advocates are challenging some of theassumptions and conclusions drawn by a Universityof Wisconsin-Madison study that calculated the num-ber of acres added to row crops across the country.

The study, which used satellite data from threedifferent sources to analyze land conversion from2008 to 2012, was published April 2 in the journalEnvironmental Research Letters. The study deter-mined that Minnesota had the greatest amount ofacres of wetlands converted to row crops — 5,000acres — and was No. 2 in conversion of forest to rowcrops, with 13,000 acres of conversion.

In Minnesota, about 216,000 total acres were con-verted into row crops, with the greatest concentra-tions along the borders of the North Woods regionwith not much change in south central Minnesota.But Kevin Paap, president of the Minnesota FarmBureau, said the study uses selective dates thatshow high numbers for conversion to crop land,when within the following few years, crop landacreage dropped. In Minnesota, land used for allcrops increased by 231,000 acres between 2008 and2012, but then fell by 268,000 acres by 2014, he said.

Environmental group Friends of the MississippiRiver Water Program Director Trevor Russell saidthat the greatest changes in the state have been inthe north central area with a “pines to potatoes”conversion and the Red River valley, which is host-ing new crops of corn. “There isn’t any more land insouth or southwest Minnesota,” he said.

The reason for the added acreage was higher commod-ity prices, especially for corn and soybeans. The reportcredited the Renewable Fuel Standard,which requires acertain volume of fuel blended in gasoline to come fromrenewable sources, as the driver for the increased com-modity prices and conversion of land to row crop use.

Corn is the primary source of the renewable fueland would fill more than half of the added acres,according to the University of Wisconsin research.

But Paap said, “It really came down to weather. Wehad poor crops while many countries were increas-ing wants for protein, primarily China. So we hadgrowing demand at a time when the supply wasgoing down. Ethanol had an effect, but it was onlypart of the reason.”

The study argued that many of the lands put intocrop use had been marginal. “New expansionoccurred most frequently on marginal land that hadsevere to very severe limitations to cultivation,whereas previous croplands were most concentratedon prime farmland characterized by fewer limita-tions,” the study said.

But Paap said farmers enrolled in federal pro-grams for crop insurance or conservation land rentalcannot farm on any wetlands converted since 1985or any highly-erodible soil without mitigation. Rus-sell said some wetlands in other parts of the statehave been converted.

The study indicated that one source of land con-verted to crop land was land owned by farmersenrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program, a fed-

eral program in which the government pays a rent toa farmer for not farming crop land for 10 to 15 years.

Russell said 600,000 acres have come out of thefederal program in Minnesota since 2007, with themajority going back to agricultural use.

Many farmers put crop land in the program whencrop prices were low, Paap said, but with higherprices available during the study period, may havefarmed part or all of it again as their program con-tracts ended.

But, he said, while land under that programdecreased, acres that are more environmentally valu-able may have been enrolled in similar programs.

For example, the number of acres in the WetlandReserve Program and Reinvest in Minnesota Wet-land Reserve Program increased from 72,433 acresin 2008 to 100,763 acres in 2012 and to 110,952acres in 2014.

Now, the prices for corn and soybeans havedropped. Study author and university graduate stu-dent Tyler Lark said this could leave farmers in adifficult spot.

Nationwide, millions of extra acres were farmed dur-ing the period when higher prices were available, butthe 2014 farm bill cut the number of acres in the Con-servation Reserve Program because of lower demand.

“Farmers could be left with excess poor qualitycropland and no alternative but to continue croppingit,” Lark said.

LAMBERTON, Minn. —Words that everyone wanted tohear were uttered by MarkSeeley, University of Min-nesota Extension climatologistwhen he spoke in mid-Marchat a Weather and Climateevent at the SouthwestResearch and Outreach Center.

“I’m still optimistic that we can real-ize a lot of soil moisture rechargebefore we head out into the field,” saidSeeley.

It turned out Seeley was somewhatprophetic. The week of March 23, Min-nesota received helpful precipitation,mostly in the form of snow. With frostwell on its way out, the snow melt per-colated into the top soils.

As a percent of subsoil moistureacross the state in early March, Seeleyindicated the numbers are 40 to 60percent of normal.

“That’s not record-breaking,”he said. “We’ve had springswhen we had only 20 percentof normal subsoil moisture.But yes, overall we could use asignificant recharging.”

The audience listened carefullyto Seeley’s comments on Min-nesota weather. Here are a few:

• Because of warmer weather “uphere” there are now 17 birds that nolonger migrate.

• Dew points of 80 F or higher arenow frequent even in northern Min-nesota.

• The frequency of heat index warn-ings is considerably higher because thewater content of Minnesota summerair is higher.

• Minnesota climate is changingenough to create new niches forpathogens, disease and insect micro-organisms.

• Today fully half the state now

receives 27 inches or more of rainfalleach season.

• Faribault, from 1961 to 1990, hasseen a 31 percent increase in yearlyrainfall.

• Waseca’s average rainfall was 27.5inches; now it is 35.7 inches.

• There has been a 37 percentincrease in three-inch or heavier rain-falls in the past 10 years.

• In 2010, Minnesota had a record113 measurable tornadoes, including48 in a single day.

• Since 2000 Minnesota has experi-ence five “mega rain” events of 10inches or more.

• In 2012, Drought Aid and Federal

Flood Disaster payments occurred atthe same time.

Assessing climate and weatherdata, Seeley said he thinks morediversity in the cropping program willbe needed to sustain Minnesota farm-ing landscape and its productive soils.More frequent spells of limited mois-ture during the growing season seeminevitable. That puts even moreimportance on maintaining a soilstructure that stores water efficiently.

He also foresees a changing cropmix and less mono-culture farming.

“I think 10 years down the road wewill have both the technology and theknowledge to manage a changingcropping scenario,” Seeley said. ❖

The future of soybeans —courtesy of genetic advances— was the focus of the SoybeanSymposium at the March 19University of Minnesota Land-scape Arboretum in Chanhas-sen, Minn. The annual event issponsored by the MinnesotaSoybean Research & PromotionCouncil, which directs the invest-ment of soybean checkoff funding.

The bulk of the checkoff — $2.2 mil-lion in 2014 — was directed into thegenetic research and agronomics ofgrowing soybeans. Gene Stoel, chair-man of the Minnesota Productionaction team, emphasized the impor-tance of genetic and agronomic soybeanresearch because soybean growers, atleast in the immediate future, need

research that can pay div-idends fairly quickly.Stoel is a soybean and

corn producer fromLake Wilson, Minn.

Even though globaloil seed production is

increasing and thestrong U.S. dollar isslowing exports, Stoelsaid countries aroundthe world still want

U.S. soybeans.“They say our soybeans per-

form better,” he said. “Those guys ifthey have the money to buy our beanswill be back to buy our beans. Rightnow who knows what’s going to hap-pen. There are so many political eventsand other issues happening thatpotentially impact soybean exports soU.S. production isn’t the key.

“Because of stronger amino acid profilesour Minnesota soybean performs betterin livestock nutrition. But we’re research-ing to determine other characteristicsthat identify why our Minnesota soybeanis a better performer for end users.”

Argentina boosted soybean produc-tion substantially and many specula-tors expected a two-million-acreincrease in U.S. soybean production.

“Nobody really knows at this point foreither corn or soybean acres. Everyfarmer will be making that decision ontheir own. It’s a matter of how to becomea least-cost producer,” said Stoel.

According to the U.S. Department ofAgriculture Prospective Plantings reportreleased March 3, an increase of 846,000soybean acres is expected for 2015.

Genetic progress has been signifi-cant in soybeans, said Stoel.

“The universities, including our U ofM, do much of the basic geneticresearch. But today we rely on specificprivate companies to produce andbring those varieties to us,” he said.“However, it’s research we do withcheckoff dollars that lays the ground-

work for those companies to build on.One thing I don’t see private compa-nies picking up on is soybean aphidresistance and incorporating thatmaterial into new genetics.”

While aphid resistant varieties areon the market today, Stoel said thereshould be more.

“The past two years I’ve been in uni-versity plots showing terrific aphidresistance,” he said. “They were usingtwo and three, and even four types ofresistance genes and calling them ‘pyr-amids.’ Aphids are fast-developingbugs so they can quickly adapt to dif-ferent resistance schemes, but by usingthis pyramided approach that resistantlevel doesn’t switch real quick. I thinkthat strategy has to be used and willpay big dividends in the long run.”

In the short term, forecasters are pre-dicting below-normal precipitation forthe Upper Midwest. Even with less rain,Stoel does not consider soybeans a moreprofitable dry season crop over corn.

“When I run my cash flows, corn stillcomes out on top,” he said. “Nobody can

SOYBEANS, from pg. 28Apredict with accuracy what’s going tohappen this year. To get away from the50-50 corn-soybean rotation and switchinto bean-on-beans isn’t a good idea.”

Bean-on-beans opens producers upto more disease and insect issues, saidStoel.Breeding techniques

At the Soybean Symposium, a panelof scientists and researchers discussedthe future of soybean genomics andgenetics, including faster breedingtechniques, protein content and higholeic soybeans.

Soybean breeder Jim Orf explainedhow marker-assisted selection is thebreeding strategy that works best forimproving protein content of soybeansbecause many genes are involved.

“With these new technologies wescreen literally hundreds of genessimultaneously for traits such as pro-tein, yield and disease resistance,” saidOrf. “That’s exciting because in thepast we mostly worked on one trait,maybe two traits for each breeding

cycle. We can now use these markergenes in populations of 5,000 to 10,000plants to find individual plants withthree or four of the traits we want.

“So molecular technology is provid-ing significant advancements in howwe can screen larger populations, findthe traits we are looking for, and do itquicker.”

The first three to four years of abreeding program are most critical,Orf said. Next product evaluation andseed production are necessary in orderto move a new variety into market, butseeds are moving to market in abouttwo to three years less time.

“So we’re talking about 10 yearsfrom start to finish,” he said.

On the strong amino acid scores forMinnesota-grown soybeans, Orfpointed out that soybeans are low inthe sulphur amino acids which aremethionine, cystine, lysine, threonine,and tryptophan.

“Increasing all five of those aminoacids would certainly make soybeanmeal a better product,” he said, “partic-

ularly for those species where we don’tfeed a lot of corn. We’re makingprogress but we’re not yet at the levelswe’d like. Part of that is there is notmuch variability in the soybeangermplasm. So maybe we need to lookat mutagenesis or other techniques toget higher levels.”

Bob Stupar said site-directed muta-genesis and RNA interference technol-ogy are tools of the future of genomicsand genetics. RNAi is a pathway toregulate gene expression. Mutagenesisis the process that causes a mutation.

“Our goal is a soybean with plus-80percent oleic oil and minus-three per-cent low lenic scores,” said Stupar.“Soybeans have rapidly become a con-

sumer-driven commodity.”High oleic soybeans produce oil with

increased functionality, which hasbenefit for food and industrial usersand could increase the value of allU.S. soybeans. Recognizing this poten-tial to revolutionize the soy oil indus-try, the U.S. soybean checkoff set agoal of 18 million planted acres ofhigh oleic soybeans by 2023.

Surprisingly, high oleic oil soybeansare not necessarily the favorite of allend users. McDonald’s has tried higholeic oils but said the fries don’t have asmuch taste. You can add flavors backinto the cooking grease, however, sowhy not get the better oil, suggestedOrf. ❖

Somebody called you a birdbrain last week.At first, it really made you mad. What kind of a

thing is that to say? You’re way smarter than a birdand your brain’s much bigger, but what are yougonna do?

You’re going to read “Birdology” by Monica Russo,photographs by Kevin Byron and next time someone

says you’re a birdbrain,you’re going to say“Thank you!”

No matter where youlive — city or country,apartment or house —there are birds outside(and sometimes inside).There are, in fact, “atleast” 9,000 differentbird species in theworld, and more than700 species are found inNorth America. Thatmakes bird watching aneasy hobby for justabout anywhere.

But what, exactly, are you watching for?Let’s start with the bird’s body. Did you know that

all birds have feathers? And did you know that birdsare the only creatures with feathers (though somedinosaurs had them, too). Without feathers, a birdcouldn’t fly or keep itself warm.

You might have heard the old saying that someoneeats like a bird. That could be very interesting,because birds don’t have teeth. They do have beaks,however, and those beaks are specialized to help thebird eat its dinner of seeds, plants, bugs, fish, orsmall animals. When a bird opens its beak to “speakup,” what it says could warn its flock of danger,remind others to stay away, or tell you what kind ofbird you’re hearing.

Even a bird’s feet can indicate a lot about its homeand habitat. Ducks’ feet are wide and webbed, tomake it easier to swim. Ruffled grouse have feet thathelp it walk on snow. Insect-eating birds have feetthat can grasp twigs, while large birds — the onesthat hunt for meat — have sharp talons at the end oftheir feet for capturing prey.

A hummingbird’s wingspan is around three inches,while the marabou stork’s wingspan is about 12 feet.Some birds build nests underground, while the nestof the Australian malleefowl is taller than you.Pigeons are non-native; they were imported from

Europe. Sparrows came from Europe, Africa, GreatBritain, and Asia. And if you want to help birds, thenvolunteer — learn more inside this book.

So now who’s the birdbrain? Not your youngster.Not your curious future ornithologist, especiallywhen you put “Birdology” in her hands.

From bird anatomy to habitat and volunteeropportunities, children will find a good overview ofbirds and bird watching in this book, in terms thatchallenge them but won’t frustrate them. AuthorMonica Russo and photographer Kevin Byron don’toverwhelm their readers but they do include activi-ties, a glossary, and resources; parents and grandpar-ents will be happy to note that the authors urge alook-don’t-touch bird watching method, so kids canenjoy this hobby safely.

This is a great book for naturalists and bird watch-ers to share with a 7- to 12-year-old who wants toknow what the feathered fuss is all about. Onceyou’ve got “Birdology,” you’ll both be singing itspraises.

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

The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Terri hasbeen reading since she was 3 years old and never goesanywhere without a book. She lives in Wisconsin withthree dogs and 10,000 books. ❖

THE BOOKWORMSEZ

By Terri Schlichenmeyer

I was having lunch with afriend. (If you were the guy Iused to work with in youthministry, you would tip yourhead down, look up from thetop of your glasses and ask ina tone of disbelief and skepti-cism, “You have a friend?”)

I used to set myself up forthat one every dang time.

But as we were talking, theconversation turned to what itwas like to grow up on thefarm as young girls.

Most of my friends lived in town, and back in theday, I would have given anything for that. It wascooler to live there. I wouldn’t have to drive 10 or 12miles just to get to a town, wouldn’t need a “good rea-son to go,” and could hang out with my friends. Iwouldn’t have to call long distance to talk to them(which was a huge issue back in the day), and I couldeven have an actual job instead of relying on babysit-ting money to give me the cash flow I needed.

It would be years before I actually would live intown and have a real job — which still didn’t give methe cash flow I needed.

I didn’t have my friends over all that often. I didn’tthink they would like it because we were confined tothe farm boundaries. In town we could walk or driveall over town, stop at a store, and do nothing withoutfeeling guilty about it.

But as we got to talking, my friend revealed thatshe had a sort of similar experience. She said herfriends would tell her there was nothing to do at herfarm when they came to stay. She was a littlestunned, because she said she never noticed it.

“We had, like, 50 kitties,” she said of the thingsthat kept her happy and occupied on the farm as ayoung girl. But even then, she began to wonder if itwas true that it wasn’t as cool to live on a farm as itwas to live in town. So she consulted her mother.

“My mom asked me, ‘How many of your friendshave four wheelers?’ And I never really thoughtabout that — we used to go four wheeling all thetime and I never thought anything of it,” she said.

And perhaps that innocence — that being unawarethat there is any other way of life — that is thebeauty, and the great gift, of growing up on the farm.

As a farm child, my siblings and I were never lav-ished with things. Times were tough back then, too,and with seven children to raise, no one got a lot ofanything except time — either working (my broth-ers, especially) or just being on the farm.

It would be years before I knew what a gift that was.Maybe it was because of my own experience on the

farm, or maybe it was our own lack of financial overflow,that we never lavished our children with a lot of thingseither. Our boys were in their glory working with theirdad on the farm — handling livestock and learning howto operate all of the farm equipment as they got older.

It may be different for girls, though. Our daughterhad to come home from school to do pig and sheepchores during fall harvest, wrestling season and

spring planting, when all of herother friends could go shoppingor do something fun after school.Some of those years were toughfor her, but today she also under-stands the great gift it was tohave those daily chores — toknow that responsibility — andto grow up on the farm.

My sisters and I had all kinds of things to take upour time — playing Annie Annie Over The (wash)House; playing kick ball over the high-wire in ourfarm yard; setting up a “house” in one room of thecorn crib when Dad decided he didn’t need it thatyear; sitting on top of the brooder house just to talk;listening to our voices echo in empty grain bins; pre-tending the loading chute was a stage, and using iton which to perform — with our jump ropes asmicrophones; clothes-pinning playing cards to thespokes of our bike tires and riding down the big hillin our yard; and playing in the cool corn in theupper bins of the corn crib. We also had a creek nearour farm, which provided us a place to dip our toesin, and a place to ice skate.

On the farm, we were each other’s gift, and eachother’s investment of time.

Looking back, we really were country, when coun-try wasn’t cool. We didn’t know any other way oflife. And I would never trade that experience for anycash offering.

OK. Maybe for a certain amount. But it wouldhave to be very, very high.

I gotta be honest.Karen Schwaller brings “Table Talk” to The Land

TABLE TALK

By Karen Schwaller

I didn’t have my friends over all that often. I didn’tthink they would like it because we were confinedto the farm boundaries. In town we could walk ordrive all over town, shop at a store ...

You could not avoid the impact of Danish-American sculptor Christian Peterson on thecampus of Iowa State University if you tried.

Peterson was ISU’s artist-in-residence from 1934-1955, and his work is remembered not only at theChristian Petersen Art Museum in Morrill Hall, butall over the university’s sprawling, park-like campus.

Born in 1885 in Denmark, at age 9 Petersen emi-grated to New Jersey with his family. He wouldlearn the technical aspects of sculpture in schooland developed his artistic skills as a sculptor’sapprentice, eventually finding steady work creatingWorld War I memorials and monuments.

The winds of fate, along with an invitation from

legendary artist Grant Wood — whose murals alsograce Iowa State’s campus — brought Petersen toIowa to work on the Public Works of Art Project aspart of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Dealprogram. His first commission at what was thenIowa State College was a fountain for the DairyIndustry Building courtyard, installed in 1935.

What was to have been a temporary positionbecame Petersen’s 21-year residency at ISU, whichincluded teaching sculpture courses in addition tohis duties creating works of art on campus. (It issaid that his classes were extremely popular, per-haps due in small part to their then-unusual mixingof the male and female student body.)

Agriculture was a recurring theme in Petersen’s

work, including two pieces which now reside in thesculpture garden outside Morrill Hall — “Corn-husker” and “4-H Calf,” both originally created in1941. As noted on an adjoining plaque, “Petersenwas one of the few American sculptors who was gen-uinely inspired by rural Midwestern life and took itas a subject matter for his sculpture.” He retired in1955 and died six years later.

The building that is now home to Petersen’slegacy, Morrill Hall, is named in honor of JustinMorrill, the U.S. Congressman from Vermont whosponsored the eponymous bill establishing the land-grant system of agricultural and engineering col-leges in the United States. It was signed into law byPresident Abraham Lincoln in 1862. ❖

All productsoffered weredown, led bybuttermilkpowder, down25.1 percent,following a lossof 11.6 percentlast time.

See MIELKE, pg. 2B

MIELKE, from pg. 1Bfrom $1.4198.The U.S. block CheddarCME price closed Thursday at $1.58 perpound. GDT skim milk powder, at$1.1192 per pound U.S., is down from$1.2390, and the whole milk powder aver-age at $1.1513 per pound U.S., is downfrom $1.3280 in the last event.The CMEGrade A nonfat dry milk price closedThursday at 97.75 cents per pound.

The dairy farmer-funded Coopera-tives Working Together continues toexport product. CWT accepted 18requests for export assistance Mondayfrom Dairy Farmers of America, North-west Dairy Association (Darigold), andTillamook County Creamery Associa-tion who have contracts to sell 3.976million pounds of Cheddar, Gouda, andMonterey Jack cheese and 121,254pounds of butter to customers in Asia,the Middle East, and Central America.The product has been contracted fordelivery through September 2015.Year-to-date, CWT has assisted mem-

ber cooperatives to sell 23.437 millionpounds of cheese and 24.333 millionpounds of butter to 22 countries on fivecontinents. The amounts of cheese andbutter in these sales contracts repre-sent the equivalent of 763.819 millionpounds of milk on a milkfat basis.

Looking to this week’s cash dairy prod-ucts, the GDT likely put a damper onrising cheese and butter prices althoughthe 40-pound block Cheddar closed theshortened Good Friday week at $1.58per pound, up four cents on the weekand the highest level since Jan. 13, but a

whopping 77 cents below a year ago. The500-pound barrels finished at $1.5950,up a nickel on the week and 63 centsbelow a year ago. Six cars of block andthree of barrel traded hands on theweek. The ever lagging NDPSR-sur-veyed U.S. average block price hit$1.5811 per pound, up 0.7 cent, while thebarrels averaged $1.5819, up 1.9 cents.

FC Stone dairy broker Dave Kurza-wski, in his Early Morning UpdateThursday, raised the question: Is it plau-sible that solid U.S. demand has absorbedenough of the dairy export losses we havebeen seeing, at least for the moment?

Dairy Market News reports that Mid-west cheese manufacturers continue toreceive strong buying interest from manytypes of customers, retail, food service,and brokers. There was a surprisingdegree of phone inquiries beginning lastFriday from mostly cheese brokers tomanufacturers, looking for barrels forimmediate delivery, which coincided withthe recent run up of CME barrel prices.

“Cheese overall remains a sought-after commodity,” DMN reported.“Many regional cheese manufacturersare accepting all the milk they can findand, even in the West, it was observedthis week that the depth of the desireto build cheese inventories is greaterthan had recently been expected andsome plants are fortifying vats withnonfat dry milk to improve yields.”

Cash butter jumped 5.25 cents lastFriday and 3.25 cents Tuesday only togive back 2.5 cents Wednesday and loseanother two cents Thursday and close

MIELKE, from pg. 2Bat $1.74 per pound, down 1.25 cents on the week and23 cents below a year ago. Thirteen carloads weresold this week at the CME. NDPSR butter averaged$1.6719 per pound, down 3.6 cents.

Demand for print butter was strong this year forEaster/Passover, but churning operators have nowwrapped up production, reports Dairy Market News.Some manufacturers are making butter to store forfuture needs. Cream supplies are tight as ice creamproduction has increased. Export demand is light atcurrent global pricing levels. Western butter produc-tion is varied and some churns are drawing creamfrom other states to maintain production, but thereis adequate butter available to meet customer needs.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed Thursday at97.75 cents per pound, up a quarter-cent on theweek. Only two cars traded hands on the week in thespot market. NDPSR powder averaged 99.18 centsper pound, down 1.6 cents, and dry whey averaged49.3 cents per pound, up 2.6 cents.

Wednesday’s Global Dairy Tradecrash was no “April Fool’s” joke, accord-ing to HighGround Trading’s EricMeyer and we talked about it in Fri-day’s DairyLine. We also know thatEuropean dairy producers no longerface over-quota penalties for the firsttime in 31 years and we see the valueof the U.S. dollar versus foreign curren-cies work against us. I asked Eric ifthere is any silver lining here.

His answer: “No.” In the short term.U.S. and global producers are startingto experience milk prices that areextremely low and they may last a bitlonger, Meyer warned. The strong U.S.dollar hurts U.S. exports in otherregions of the world, particularlyEurope, which is poised to take advan-tage of that along with the removal of

the quotas and that will keep milk pro-duction there strong.

The main key, according to Meyer, isthat U.S. prices remain uncompetitiveto the rest of the world and that meanswe could see lower prices and poten-tially hang there for quite some time.

The export market took us to recordhighs last year and now the exportmarket has brought us much lowerprices this year, did we get ourselves ina bad place?

“I don’t think so,” said Meyer. “Whenyou look at the long-term outlook onglobal dairy consumption, this is yoursilver lining. We see very strong, posi-tive demand and so at this point intime, we’re in one of those cycles wherethe world has too much milk. We thinkthat eventually low prices will curethat and we’ll see the upswing happen.

“The question is timing. Is it going tohappen in the next three months,maybe even six months, no. Should2016 look a bit rosier, definitely, but wethink that it’s important for producersto have their coverage on for some ofthe better prices seen on the forwardcurve for the remainder of this year.”

ST. CLOUD, Minn. — Spring hasbeen here for a couple of weeks now.We’ve had some fairly warm dayslately, but we have also dipped belowfreezing some nights. Spring bringssome big changes to our environments-fluctuating weather, changes in atmos-pheric pressure, and a big boost inallergens.

Besides our own concerns with thetransitioning weather, what aboutlivestock? Each change in season pres-ents its own unique challenges, andwinter-to-spring brings some impor-tant aspects to keep an eye on.

A major marker of winter’s exit issnowmelt. Most of central Minnesotahas already lost its snow, but keep inmind that wet conditions caused by thesnowmelt are still present. April is rightaround the corner, and I’m sure we allremember the old adage about Aprilshower. Spring will bring wet conditionswith it, and wet conditions can lead toall sorts of problems for livestock.

Warm, moist environments are opti-mum for most bacteria. Animals inthese conditions are susceptible to awhole host of issues and diseases. Thesingle most important thing you can dois keep livestock clean and dry.This mayrequire adding extra bedding andchanging bedding more often. If youaren’t sure how much bedding to add orif it needs to be changed, try the kneeltest. Kneel down into the bedding. If youstand up with wet knees, it means yourcows are getting more than wet knees.

Also consider where livestock arehoused, like at the bottom of a slope.Obvi-ously buildings can’t be moved, but pensand paddocks could temporarily be relo-cated to prevent animals from standing inmud. Extended periods of time standingin water, mud, or manure can lead to sig-nificant hoof issues such as foot rot.

Another aspect to consider withhousing is ventilation. As tempera-tures increase, so should air exchangerates. This is done to remove any

excess heat. Also look at general airquality. Are your animals breathingheavy? Are their noses runny? Youprobably don’t have to worry aboutyour cows having a ragweed allergy,

but they should have fresh, clean air.Tying back to what I said before

about damp conditions, air exchangeneeds to increase if moisture and

See CARE, pg. 6B

CARE, from pg. 5Bammonia from wet and soiled bedding makes the spacedamp and smelly. The easiest way to detect a problemis with your ears, eyes, and nose. Do you hear animalscoughing or breathing heavily? Can you see rapid noseor chest movement? Does it smell stale and dirty? Ifyou answer, “yes” to any of these questions, then youmay need to look at some ventilation improvements.

In addition to thinking spring, now is the time to alsothink summer. That may seem a little sudden, but tak-ing the time to prepare for summer now will mean youare ready the instant the first heat wave hits.Take sometime to look at your heat abatement measures. Makesure fans are properly functioning, complete any routinemaintenance and repair any damages. In addition,make sure they are positioned at the proper angles.

Along with fans, if you have sprinkler or mistersystems those should be looked at as well. Make surehoses are in good condition, without any cracks orholes. Also make sure the water source is properlyfunctioning. These maintenance tasks may seemtedious or non-priority during spring, but checkingthese systems now could help avoid delays in gettingthem working properly when the hot weather hits.

For summer time also start thinking about keepinga clean environment. The heat can make environ-mental pathogens even more prevalent, and someproducers will switch their bedding to somethingnon-organic that will also keep animals cooler, likesand. The attention you pay to proper bedding in thespring should also be paid in the summer.

Along with bedding, flies can be a big problem tolivestock environment in the summer. Do you knowwhat measures you’ll be taking for fly management?Assess how fly management was handled last yearand if it was effective.

Spring is certainly a busy time, and most time isdedicated to the fields, but don’t forget about yourlivestock. Keeping them dry and comfortable is cru-cial to keeping them healthy and productive. Takingsome time to plan for the summer months will alsohelp save time in the long run and ensure your ani-mals never skip a beat as they transition into springand then into summer.
