“Gentlemen, start your engines!” Thatcommand dramatically jump-starts theIndy 500 each year. Drivers flip the switchon their million dollar machines and theroar ignites.
Driving around rural Minnesota, onevisualizes much the same about to hap-pen. In many farm yards, 4-wheel drivetractors hitched to huge tillage machinesare just waiting for that green light fromthe weather man. But with modern trac-tors, even the 400 horsepower size, there isno deafening roar. These monster rigs arealmost gentle to the ear. They showtheir muscle power in quiet dignity.
I respect the mental challenges youguys and gals are facing as you crank up for the 2016growing season. Yes, you’re chewing up equity bankedduring those 2010-2014 “golden years”. But when it’stime to hunker down, you do just that. And it shows.
Winter farm shows, always an opportunity to touchbase on the latest ag developments, just didn’t havemuch buzz this year. Mostly folks were just looking.Many of you shared that message when you stoppedat The Land booth at the St. Cloud show, the WillmarAg Show, the Owatonna Farm and Power Show, etc.
But come crank-up time, LaDon Henslin, veteranBird Island auctioneer and land realtor wagered everyacre cropped in 2015 will be cropped again this year,even if red ink is the agenda.
Does history repeat? Last April, 2015, my “LandMinds” message titled “Talk of a perfect spring” read:As I write this Monday morning, April 20, it’s cold andvery windy … again. So I caution “perfect spring”chatter depends upon where you live. Certainly spring2015 is one of the driest. Fortunately, some moisture ison the agenda for our ag area this week; but muchmore is needed to get subsoils recharged to comfort lev-els. Yes, lots of dust swirling across the landscape butexcellent seed bed conditions being reported.
That could be much the scenario again this spring.We’ve seen lots of windy days already, and even adownpour of snow. But guys who know say subsoilsare mostly recharged even though few tile lines aremoving water. Most tillage got done last fall. Mini-mum tillage practices are spreading so rapidly you
won’t see much fieldwork other than thenecessary pass to get seed beds primed.We’ve got 72,600 farms in Minnesota, down3,200 from 2010. Back in 1935, when 160-acre farms were the common size, farmnumbers totaled 204,000 in Minnesota.
■
What do you make of this 2016 electionyear? “Absolutely amazing” best describes itso far and it could get more bizarre. It’sbecoming an extremely entertainingagenda. We started with 16 Republican
candidates for the presidency of America.Today, we’re down to three. I have beenintrigued, at times amused, by the politi-
cal outsiders who obviously have capturedthe attention of many. Yes, we hear some outrageouscommentary by Mr. Trump. Yet his free speech andbusiness successes generate respect. Disgust ... out-right anger ... at this Congress is so evident.
We all know Congress needs to be fixed. With a $19trillion national debt, they can’t keep kicking the candown the road. You may have read Warren Buffet’squick remedy: “I could end the deficit in five minutes.You just pass a law that says that anytime there is adeficit of more than 3 percent of GDP, all sitting mem-bers of Congress are ineligible for re-election.”
Well, this year, all 435 members of the House of Rep-resentatives are indeed up for re-election. Some havealready said it’s the end of their journey. Very likely itwill be the end for many others also. We are indeed anation mostly fed up with this U.S. Congress.
■
However, despite my carping about the politics ofAmerica, good things do happen in our communities.
A good example is the Jam the Gym Tim Orthmemorial event each year at Bird Island. Tim was anOlivia high school student whose life was cut short bycancer 20 years ago. His family and community ralliedbehind his memory with the creation of this specialfund-raising memorial event. An estimated 2,000cheering people of all ages jammed the Bird Islandgym (capacity of about 400) that night.

On March 21, the annual All Ag Celebration washosted by Pro Ag of Renville.
The county awarded 14, $200 scholarships to stu-dents from seven area schools. The special $2,500Agriculture for America Leadership Scholarshipwent to Daniel Roker, now a student at SouthDakota State University.
Part of this Pro Ag event was the recognition of theRenville County Farm Family of the Year. The Mikeand Jane Sullivan family were this year’s recipients.The Sullivans farm near Morton on land home-steaded by Mike’s great-grandfather. Three sons,Tim, Pat, and Joe are all part of this enterprisetoday. The Sullivan’s daughter, Molly, teaches specialeducation at Cedar Mountain Schools.
The Distiguished Service Award was presented bythe Renville County Corn and Soybean Growers.
This year’s honoree is Dr. Marv Boerboom whorecently retired after 20 years with DeKalb Mon-santo. Boerboom developed inbreds that have beenparents of over 156 different hybrids. He has beengranted 66 inbred patents with 34 patents pending!

To the Editor:When it comes to water quality, it’s time to stop
blaming farmers for any perceived problems.During the last session of the Minnesota legisla-
ture, a “new” buffer law was passed which had manyfarmers upset. In reality, it reinforced the existinglaw by requiring installation of a 16.5-foot buffer onall public ditches by November of 2018.
Many farmers feel these requirements will do verylittle to actually clean the water and consider it anillegal taking of land without compensation — allbrought about by a last-minute midnight deal duringthe special session.
Gov. Dayton wanted 50-foot buffers along allditches, rivers, and streams which was an unconsti-tutional land grab. The Farm Bureau and FarmersUnion signed off on the 16.5 foot compromise.
Recently the assault on farmers continued as the
Department of Natural Resources attempted toinclude private ditches in its buffer definition, beforeHouse Republicans convinced Dayton to call off thedogs.
Enough is enough. Let’s not forget that farmers arealso environmentalists, good stewards of the land,and care about clean water. We have a law in placethat is being enforced so the environmentalists needto allow the process to play out before insisting onnew, burdensome requirements and additional DNRoverreach.
We don’t need to tie the hands of farmers andunnecessarily blame them as the sole culprit of anypoor water quality in Minnesota. They deserve oursupport.Tony Cornish Minnesota House of Representatives, District 23BVernon Center, Minn.

LAND, APRIL 8, 2016
A mere 1 percent of our nation’s pop-ulation are farmers, and this smallpercentage isn’t expected to grow any-time soon. In the five years between 2007 and 2012the number of “new farmers” (those who had beenoperating for less than five five years) fell by 23.3percent!
So what? Why does it matter that as every yearpasses there are fewer farmers? To begin, accordingto the U.S. Department of Agriculture, there are1.03 billion acres of combined crop and grazinglands in the United States. Or, in other words,almost 45 percent of the total land surface is usedfor agricultural purposes.
As producers retire and fewer individuals pursuefarming as a career, the average size of farm opera-tions increases and the overall number of farmsdecreases. As a result, enormous tracks of landwhich purify water, sequester atmospheric carbon,provide habitat for wildlife, and produce food areunder the stewardship of only a handful of individu-als — farmers. The decisions and actions of thissmall cohort have immense implications for wholecommunities, cities, watersheds, ecosystems andeven the world at large.
Media reports which emphasize the negativeimpacts of agriculture on the environment are notuncommon. A very recent example is the degradedwater quality of the Des Moines and Raccoon Riversthat supply the city of Des Moines.
Other instances of environmental degradation
through farm management are perhapsunderpublicized because their effects
aren’t immediately apparent. Theirimpacts are easily overlooked at the farm scale, butare noticeable when considering an entire landscape.For example, tillage-induced erosion, biodiversityloss from unnecessary pesticide applications, andvolatile flooding events following tile installationmay not be impressive at the field level, but haveadditive effects that scale up to situations like theGulf of Mexico dead zone.
On a positive note, a small but growing assemblageof producers are making a concerted effort to reversethe negative environmental effects that agriculturalpractices have had through “regenerative agricul-ture”. The aim of regenerative agriculture practition-ers is to produce nutrient-dense foods while restor-ing degraded natural resources (soil, water, andbiodiversity).
In collaboration with researchers from universities,government and non-government organizations,these innovative land managers use unbiased infor-mation to develop integrated, diverse and profitableproduction strategies. Farmers who focus on restor-ing soil health and biodiversity enjoy “undergroundinsurance” — providing resilience during environ-mental hardships (such as drought, flooding, pestsand diseases) usually resulting in long-term yieldgain.
The diversification of farm ventures by leading pro-ducers also offers economic stability by diversifying
the farm portfolio, mitigating the effects of marketvolatility in a select few commodities.
Looking beyond on-farm benefits, the reversal ofsoil and biodiversity loss through regenerative agri-culture restores the services poor management prac-tices degrades. If soil health is improved, naturalresource quality will follow.
To a rural Midwesterner, agriculturally relatedevents such as Des Moines’ poor water quality, or theGulf Coast dead zone may be a case of “out of sight,out of mind.” But it is important to keep these occur-rences in the forefront of our thinking. Plantingdiverse rotations, using cover crops, practicing inte-grated pest management, avoiding over-fertilization,and eliminating soil disturbance are only a few waysby which innovative producers are growing foodwhile being environmentally responsible.
Managers of agricultural land must ask, how arethe decisions I’m making in respect to my farmimpacting the world around me? The maintenance ofclean air and water for future generations, providinghabitat for wildlife, and the production of food are allgrand challenges faced by farmers ... the stewards ofthe land ... the 1 percent.

There is a certain poetryin Kansas Republican Sena-tor Pat Roberts’ failure toconvince the U.S. Senate tosquash state and local foodlabeling laws. His proposedfix, fail though it did, mayhave done more to boostconsumer faith in the mar-ket than anything Congresshas or hasn’t done in years.
Roberts’ winning lossbegan with tiny Vermont. In2014, the state passed its“Genetically EngineeredFood Labeling Act.” Thelaw, as explained by a 2015Consumer Reports story, “requires… byJuly 2016 all food and beverages soldin the state — including bread, cereal,snack chips, soy milk, and more —(that) contain GMOs carry a label thatreads produced with or partially pro-duced with genetic engineering.”
Big Ag wanted Congress to stomp onthe Vermont law. For more than 20years it has successfully fought anylabeling of any food which contains anygenetically modified organism, orGMOs. Various groups claimed labelswill raise food prices and unfairly depictGMOs as less than completely safe.
That view carried the dayin the U.S. House of Repre-sentatives. On July 23, 2015,the House easily passed afederal voluntary GMOlabeling law to stop Vermontand two other states, Con-necticut and Maine, fromimplementing earlier-passedmandatory labeling laws.
That left Roberts to musclethrough the Senate Ag Com-mittee (which he chaired) a
fix he called “Biotechnol-ogy Labeling Solutions.” Itwould, he promised, stop
“a few states dictating toevery state the way food moves fromfarmers to consumers in the valuechain.”
In a March 1 committee hearing,Roberts defended GMO technology as“safe to other plants, safe to the envi-ronment, and safe to our food supply.”
As such, he declared, what the com-mittee was facing in its vote “today isnot a safety or health issue. It is a mar-ket issue.”
To drive home the point he said, “Arecent study (he didn’t cite the source)estimated that the cost (of mandatory
GMO food labeling) to consumers couldtotal as much as $82 billion annually— approximately $1,050 per hardwork-ing, American family.”
No one on the committee laughed, butall should have. It’s a preposterous esti-mate — just $10 billion under the com-bined farm value of 2014 U.S. corn andsoybean crops. Labeling proponentsplaced the label cost galactically lowerat about $2.30 per person per year.
Later, the usually bipartisan Ag Com-mittee approved Roberts’ bill by a less-than-unanimous 14-6 vote. Severalcommittee members believed Roberts’“solutions” created new problems forthe 66 percent of Americans who, pollafter poll has shown, favor mandatory
GMO labels.The split vote also indicated trouble
ahead for a full Senate. Roberts spentweeks looking for allies but found few.On March 16, a handful of Republicanssided with nearly all the Democrats todefeat a procedural vote on the Robertsbill. It was over. He was beaten.
Stung by defeat, Roberts lashed outat Senate Democrats for failing to“address the problems facing thenation’s marketplace” because of “con-fusing and differing biotechnologylabeling standards.”
He added, “If we do not act, everyoneloses.”

GUEBERT, from pg. 5AJust like his $82 billion cost of
mandatory GMO labeling, Roberts’prediction was light years off themark. Within days, some of the biggestfood companies in the world such asGeneral Mills, Kellogg’s, Mars, andConAgra, “announced they will label
their products nation-wide in order to be incompliance with Ver-mont’s law.”
And contrary to what Big Food, BigAg, and most anti-labeling politicianshave been saying for decades, the com-panies claimed “the costs associated
with nationwide labelingwon’t be passed on to con-sumers.”
Stunning though the news seems, thisshould not be news at all. It is justanother clear example of how the freemarket works when it is allowed to work.

Brian VanZomeren President
For Brian VanZomeren, MinnesotaState FFA presidentof the 1990-91 OfficerTeam, being a leaderin FFA came natu-rally. Growing up inthe Alexandria FFA chapter, he wasalso involved in 4-H, Boy Scouts andchurch. Being involved in organiza-tions was what he knew.
In addition, his father, Bernie VanZomeren, was the ag teacher and FFAadvisor at Jefferson High School inAlexandria. His sister, Barbara VanZomeren, served as treasurer on the1987-88 officer team. Van Zomerengrew up on a 25-acre hobby farm withabout 200 head of Rambouillet sheep,which he showed in 4-H, FFA and openclass.
Today, Van Zomeren has two chil-dren of his own and lives in Andover,Minn. He is an auto body shop man-ager for Roger’s Master Collision inthe Twin Cities. Everyday he uses theleadership skills he developed in FFA.
Through FFA, Van Zomeren gainedpeople skills such as how to deal withconflict. He has worked in the autobody business for 22 years. When cus-tomers come in with a banged up vehi-
cle, he makes sure that the customer ishappy and the car looks like new whenthe job is done. His work also includesnegotiating with insurance companiesfor payments.
When Van Zomeren looks back on hisyear as a state FFA officer, he recallsbeing very busy with school and FFA.He went to the University of Min-nesota in St. Paul for agriculturalengineering.
“You see it as an opportunity and alot of fun,” said Van Zomeren.
In planning the state convention,Van Zomeren said that everybody didtheir part and brought their own per-sonality to the convention. For VanZomeren, the highlight of his termwas traveling across the state as anFFA representative.
“I’m a people person. I liked thetraveling, meeting people, dealingwith business men and women, andfarmers,” said Van Zomeren. “Ilearned how to stand up before agroup.” ❖

were rocking the country charts. Wewere all singing “Friends in LowPlaces”. In our cars and trucks, wewere turning up “Blaze of Glory” byBon Jovi and harmonizing “Hold On”with Wilson Phillips. “Pretty Woman”was playing in theaters, launchingJulia Roberts into stardom.
In 1990, President George H.W. Bushdrew a “line in the sand.” U.S. troopswere stationed in the desert of SaudiArabia. In 1991, Operation DesertStorm was launched to liberate Kuwaitfrom Iraq.
Also in 1990, a proposal for theWorldWideWeb was published.
Today, the internet has transformedboth our personal and professionallives. Google, Amazon, e-mail andFacebook are at our fingertips 24/7 viaour smart phones.
1990 and 1991 was a pivotal time forthe United States. Current events ofthe day laid the grounddwork for theculture and politics of the 21st century.
Meanwhile, the Minnesota StateFFA Officer Team of 1990-91 was lay-ing the groundwork for their own lives.Working together, they led and servedFFA and its members. Leadership andservice became the foundation onwhich they built their lives.

Jim LeeVice President
To this day, Jim Lee, 1990-91 Min-nesota State FFA vice president,remembers Mr. Paul Day’s catch-phrase: Preparation promotes peakperformance.
Preparation has been a cornerstoneof Lee’s career as a professionaltrainer. He began his career with NKLawn and Garden in the packet seeddivision. Today he is the trainingmanager for Metropolitan Mechani-cal Contractors, where he developsand implements training programs.
Lee and Val Luhman-Aarsvoldwere tasked at the state conventionto read all the FFA degree recipients.They spent hours practicing all thenames to pronounce them correctlyand keep the ceremony paced well.
“The lesson was preparation,” saidLee. “Getting somebody’s namewrong was not an option.”
Lee and his wife,Christina, and theirson Johnathan, livein Otsego, Minn.,where they have abig garden and fruittrees.
Lee graduated fromthe University ofMinnesota with adegree in ag industries and market-ing. The best man in his wedding washis freshman year roommate, whomhe met through FFA.
Lee grew up on a hobby farm nearAnnandale, where he was in theAnnandale High School chapter. Hisfamily raised sheep. Lee and his sis-ter topped out at 40 head of Hamp-shire sheep that they showed in 4-H,FFA and open class. The sheep wereraised for lamb meat to make thehobby farm pay.
“That was always a tearjerker at theState Fair,” said Lee. “Market animals
don’t go home form the State Fair.”Raising sheep gave Lee a lesson in
the responsibility of taking care oflivestock. When it was 40 below, youhave to bring warm buckets of waterfrom the basement to the barn. Some-one always had to be home to takecare of the animals, especially duringlambing.
Looking back, he appreciates all hisparents did to help him raise sheep.
Besides showing livestock in FFA,Lee competed in many contests —soils, horticulture — and played inthe state band. Lee said he was a shykid and FFA gave Lee a chance togrow.
“It gave me a great opportunity tobuild confidence and public speakingskills and develop those leadershipskills,” said Lee.
Lee even praised those blue FFAjackets.
“That official dress was a greatequalizer for teenagers,” said Lee.“You got to know people for the personthat they were.”
He has fond memories of planningand putting on the State LeadershipConference at the Deep Portage Con-servation Reserve in Hackensack.
“It was such a cool environment.Our team worked well together inputting those weeks together so thatthe rest of the people there wouldlearn something and walk away withsomething,” said Lee.
The skills that Lee used as an FFAofficer to plan camps and conferencesare the same skills he uses today toplan training programs
“FFA gave me the confidence to dothings that I wouldn’t have done oth-erwise. It’s an organization that helpsbring the best in somebody out,” saidLee. ❖

Val Luhman AarsvoldSecretary
Many of you know Val LuhmanAarsvold as executive director of theMinnesota FFA Foundation. But exec-utive directors have to start some-where and Aarsvold began her FFAcareer in the Goodhue chapter, whereshe served at the chapter and regionallevels before being elected secretary ofthe 1990-91 Minnesota State FFA Offi-cer Team.
“I fell in love with FFA when I was15 and attended the state GreenhandCamp,” said Aarsvold. “I loved the pos-itive messages and empowering peopleto learn and grow and develop andadvocate for agriculture.”
Aarsvold served her state term as afreshman at the University of Min-nesota in St. Paul, where she earned adegree in agriculture education. For“seven awesome years,” she was anFFA advisor. Her husband, Paul
Aarsvold, is the agteacher and FFA advi-sor at Plainview-Elgin-Millville HighSchool. They werealready married whenthey accepted teach-ing positons in Plain-view. Aarsvold taughtindustrial technologyfor a year until student numbersrequired a second ag teacher. At first,Aarsvold worried working togetherwould put stress on their marriage.
“It turned out to be a fun adventure,”said Aarsvold.
In 2001, Aarsvold switched gears tobecome executive director of the foun-dation because she had three youngboys and teaching full time became toomuch to manage. The family has sinceadded two girls to the mix for a total offive children.
The Aarsvold boys are all involved in
FFA: P.J. is state FFApresident; Nick is achapter officer; andLafe is a chapter jun-ior officer. Theirdaughters, Julia andJessica, aren’t oldenough for FFA yetbut they are excitedabout joining.
For Aarsvold, being secretary was amemorable experience that gave herthe opportunity to travel and interactwith so many people across Minnesota.She also attended the State PresidentsConference in Washington, D.C.
“Now my network included peopleacross the country,” said Aarsvold.
Aarsvold learned many lessons thatyear. One was to be accountable. Assecretary, she knew if she didn’t getthe meeting minutes right she wouldrewrite them.
“We were really treated like profes-sionals and it was expected that weact that way,” said Aarsvold. “You hadto give your very best.”
Aarsvold gave a shout out to all theregional presidents that implementedthe officer team’s work at the regionallevel.
She has the unique perspective ofexperiencing the power of FFA as amember, officer, advisor and now
FFA Foundation director has perspective as state officer

Anne Wilfahrt Warburton Reporter
As reporter of the 1990-91 Min-nesota State FFA Officer Team,Anne Wilfahrt Warburton said inretrospect she was well-suited forthe position. She competed in pub-lic speaking, creed and parliamen-tary procedure.
“I did not come from a family thatwas actively farming,” said Warburton. “So I was inthe minority of FFA participants. But like almostevery Minnesotan I had extended family that didfarm actively.”
Warburton grew up in Kimball, which was knownfor dairy farming at that time. At Kimball AreaHigh School, two incredible teachers attracted War-
burton and many others to FFA. Asit turns out, FFA had a major influ-ence on her career and the life sheleads today.
“I wouldn’t have been able to usethese words at the time. I had anintuitive connection with the out-doors,” said Warburton.
FFA allowed Warburton toexplore her connection to the natu-
ral world.“What did I know? Hands on was important; the
environment was important to me,” said Warburton.Warburton graduated from Minnesota State Uni-
versity, Mankato, where she earned a degree inspeech and natural resource management.
For many years, she worked in environmental edu-cation as a naturalist in Minnesota and Wisconsin.Today, Warburton lives in Nova Scotia, Canada, withher husband, James Warburton and their 6-year-oldson.
In Canada, she got her master’s in land use plan-ning. As a consultant, she worked with municipali-ties to adapt to climate change. Being an FFA officershowed Warburton an appreciation for working witha strong team that asked what do we need to do andhow do we get it done. Teamwork is a value that shehas drawn on throughout her career.
“We had a really strong team. I never once feltunduly proportioned with work,” said Warburton. “Inever felt anything other than support. There was nointernal competition, no jockeying for the spotlight.”
Warburton has begun a new chapter in her life.
The couple bought some acreage near the village ofMiddle Musquodoboit. Warburton is keeping beesand practicing restoration agriculture on their smallhobby farm.
“We are taking some land that might have beenworked in modern conventional way and workingwith it to renurture and revitalize it. We are apply-ing permaculture principles,” said Warburton. “Iwant to get my hands dirty.”
An equivalent of FFA does not exist in Canada, but4-H is strong, explained Warburton. Her son is not ofage yet, but Warburton plans to get involved in 4-Hand Boy Scouts in her village.
“I’m trying to pave the way for my son and the kidsin this village to have those hands-on stewardshipprojects via 4-H and the Scouts,” said Warburton. ❖

Jerusha Solt LoweTreasurer
Jerusha Solt Lowe, treasurer ofthe 1990-91 Minnesota State FFAOfficer Team, embodied the FFAmotto of “Living to serve.” Sadly,Lowe died of cancer at age 40 inrural Worthington, Minn., on May 7,2013. She was raising a family ofthree children with her husband,Charles Lowe.
Lowe brought humor and per-spective to the 1990-91 team. ValLuhman-Aarsvold, secretary inthe 1990-91 team, recalled thatLowe had the most distinctivelaugh.
“She caught the attention ofeveryone in the room when shestarted chuckling,” said Aarsvold.
Lowe pushed the team to do topquality work for FFA members. Itwas important to Lowe that FFArepresented everybody.
“She challenged us to thinkabout things that we might nothave thought about before. It wasgood for us to have a different per-spective,” said Aarsvold.
Lowe grew up in Reading and
began her FFA career in the Wor-thington FFA chapter, where shewas the first female president there.She attended Worthington Commu-nity College, University of Min-nesota, St. Paul, and MinnesotaState University, Mankato.
In both her career and personallife, she devoted herself to youngpeople and education. She taught ag
and shop at Fulda High Schooland Butterfield-Oden High School.She was a 4-H Extension agent forJackson County. She also servedas the youth director at Westmin-ster Presbyterian Church in Wor-thington. As both a youth and par-ent, Lowe was active in NoblesCounty 4-H.
Her most recent position wasteaching special education in theArea Learning Center for Commu-nity Education in Worthington.
Lowe was “straight-up honest,”said Jim Lee, vice president of the1990-91 team.
“She was passionate about whatshe believed and was never afraidto speak her mind,” said Lee.
Lee also recalled Lowe’s trade-
mark humor. He shared a memory of driving by ahog farm with Lowe.
“Of course that wonderful aroma came into thecar and Jerusha said ‘Smell that? It is the smell ofmoney!’” said Lee.
Brian Van Zomeren, 1990-91 president, alsoremembered Lowe’s smile and laugh, along with avoice that really carried. Van Zomeren admired herdedication.
“She was a small town girl through and through.She had no interest in ever living in a big city,” saidVan Zomeren.
Biographical information in this report was fromthe obituary of Jerusha Lowe compiled by BensonFuneral Home in Worthington. ❖
In memoriam: Jerusha Solt Lowe lived to serve

Christine Kidrowski SoltauSentinel
Christine Kidrowski Soltau, sen-tinel for the 1990-91 MinnesotaState FFA Officer Team, uses askill she developed in FFA everyday. The skill is the ability to workwith many different peoplethrough different types of tasks.She is benefits and safety adminis-trator for the City of Rochester.
“If I look at the state conference or any of the lead-ership meetings that we put on, every one requiredus to work together and plan and then from there toimplement,” said Soltau.
Soltau grew up on a 1,000 acre crop farm of corn,beans and sugar beets near Clara City. The family
also raised some hogs.“I grew up in a family of five girls.
We worked on the farm just like theboys would,” said Soltau. “I had theopportunity to experience many dif-ferent types of roles with harvest-ing and taking care of the crops andanimals.”
She was in the MACCRAY HighSchool FFA chapter, where she
served as secretary, treasurer and president, whichled to regional treasurer and president and ulti-mately the State FFA Officer Team.
She graduated from the University of MinnesotaCollege of Agriculture in St. Paul, where she majoredin applied economics. She served as a state officerduring her freshman year. She recalls lots of laugh-ter working with that group.
“Some ideas were fabulous and they succeeded.Other ideas didn’t work and we would laugh aboutit. I completely enjoyed working with the state offi-cer team,” said Soltau.
When the team was at the state officer conferencein Nebraska, tornado sirens were going off and tor-nadoes touched down eight miles from their site. Sherecalls looking at Brian Van Zomeren and Val Luh-man Aarsvold and Van Zomeren cracked a joke.
“My main memories about FFA is that it helped medevelop my leadership ability plus the ability toadapt to changing needs,” said Soltau. “Great memo-
ries and lifelong friends.”For Soltau’s supervised agriculture experiences,
she focused on agronomy. In Oliva, she interned forKeltgen Seed Company.
“During that internship I was primarily managingthe seed corn, working with farmers and determin-ing when the crew had to go in and detassle,” saidSoltau. “I had a chance to look at the impacts of dif-ferent agronomy chemicals on seed corn varieties.”
Her internships taught her how to prove herself onthe job.
Today Soltau lives in Zumbrota, Minn., with herhusband, Chris, and their two children. Tyler is inninth grade and Anna is in fifth grade. For manyyears Soltau was involved in the FFA Foundationand FFA Alumni.
While Soltau is not involved in farming, her hus-band works at Ag Partners in Goodhue as agronomymanager. Every spring, she supports him duringthose long hours.
“We still are small town. Many of our friends areinvolved with the agronomy side,” said Soltau.“Farming will always be part of me.” ❖

NORTH MANKATO, Minn. –Farms in Costa Rica may be smaller,but the learning curve for 10 Min-nesota ag students was big as theyspent 10 days in the Central Ameri-can country. The South Central Col-lege students made the trip in Marchas part of an international field studyto experience practices and crops in alocale a little warmer than Min-nesota.
“It was hot,” admitted LeahSchloesser who was one of the stu-dents on the trip. “They’re used to theclimate and they work through the daylike it’s nothing,” she laughed. “Wewere dying.”
Schloesser, 19, is an agri-businessproduction student concentrating herstudies in dairy. She grew up on adairy farm near Le Center, Minn.,which houses about 300 milkers and alike-number of heifers.
“(Costa Rican) livestock is differentfrom ours,” Schloesser observed. “Theyraise Brahman cows which are a littlesmaller than ours. They’re more heattolerant.”
Jake Huber also made the trip. The21-year old Mapleton native is work-ing on an agri-business major with anagronomy focus. “The (Costa Rica)farming culture is really different,”Huber said. “Almost everything ishand labor on the smaller farms. Evenon the big banana plantations, it’s allpicked by hand.”
Huber stayed at a chocolate farmwhich was about 40 acres in size.
Cocoa is not a seasonal crop and thebeans are picked year-around as theyripen.
“The trees were about the size of asmall pear tree,” Huber said. “It was alittle tough interacting with the fam-ily. They didn’t speak English.”
Schloesser said some farms are assmall as 5 acres and are operated byextended families of parents, grand-parents, aunts and uncles.
“The (growing) plot was small,”
Schloesser said, “but they packed somuch stuff in it. They produce muchmore than they could consume.”
Most families grow specialty cropswhich they trade with other farmers.Markets are an outlet for surplus pro-duce and Costa Rican pigs are raisedon a banana diet.
“Feed rations are completely differ-ent,” said Schloesser, “because of theclimate.”

COSTA RICA, from pg. 13ARoberts organized the trip partner-ing with Earth University, a CostaRican institution renown for agri-culture academics. Earth Univer-sity was established by Costa Ricanlaw in 1986 as a private, non-profit,international university. The schoolis designed to prepare young peoplefrom Latin America, the Caribbeanand other regions, including Africa and Asia, to con-tribute to the sustainable development of their coun-tries. The university offers a four-year undergradu-ate program in agricultural sciences and naturalresources management.
Earth University has two expansive campuses. TheGuácimo campus is in the heart of the tropical rain-forest in the Caribbean lowlands of Costa Rica. The8,342-acre campus includes classrooms, laboratories,academic farms, student and faculty residences, acommercial banana plantation, reforested areas anda forest reserve. The second campus is calledEARTH-La Flor and is located in the dry tropics ofCosta Rica’s Guanacaste province. The 3,700-acrecampus is used by students working on various proj-ects; and also hosts seminars in areas such as solar,wind and mini-hydroelectric energy, biomass, biogasand waste management, as well as in carbon neu-trality, entrepreneurship and sustainable agricul-ture. The campus farms also produce rice, sugarcane,mangos, hay and beef.
Roberts was involved with Earth University whenshe was an undergraduate student. She maintainsconnections with the institute which helped organizeand coordinate the SCC trip.
“We spent about two years marketing the trip,”Roberts said. “Finally in the last week of January wegot the go-ahead so we had to move pretty fast. Weneeded 10 students to make (the trip) work and wedid that easily.”
Most of the students had to secure passports andthe group met every week to prepare for the trip.However, even with preparation, there were a fewsurprises awaiting in Costa Rica.
“Monkeys wake you up,” laughedSchloesser, “and there’s lots of big, big bugs.”
“We had a very good driver through the entire trip,”Roberts added, “but people drive really fast on theirnarrow roads. There were lots of crashes.”
Everyone agreed the Costa Ricans are very frugalwith their resources and waste nothing. Biodigestersare commonplace.
“They’re smaller systems,” said Schloesser, “butthey can be when the temperature is always around90 degrees. I was surprised by some of the equipmentand technology they had available.”
Huber had some hands-on biodigester experience.He took part in digging a 50-footlong trench, 5 feet wide and 4 feetdeep by hand. “No backhoes,” Hubershook his head. “The soil was sorocky. It was hot. It was a lot ofwork.”
Huber was also impressed withan aquaponics system he visited.Fish are raised in a tank and by-products from the fish are used to
provide nutrients to plants.“My job is to expose (students) to new things,”
Roberts explained. “The trip made me think moreabout composting and recycling. My goal is to do thisevery year, hopefully going to different places. Wehave 110 students in the ag program and the interestis there.”
Both Schloesser and Huber said they would makethe trip again.
“Totally,” Schloesser said, “No question.” Shepaused. “I’d learn Spanish though.” ❖

The 2016 Minnesota FFAConvention is April 24-26. Thisyear’s theme is “TogetherWe...”.
P.J. Aarsvold, MinnesotaState FFA president, is help-ing to plan the convention. Theteam chose the theme becauseit highlights that FFA is a collectiveeffort of every single person — advi-sors, alumni, staff and members.
You may recognize the last name.Aarsvold is the son of Val LuhmanAarsvold, who served on the 1990-91FFA officer team as secretary and isexecutive director of the MinnesotaFFA Foundation. P.J.’s dad, PaulAarsvold, is one of two ag teachers andFFA advisors at Plainview-Elgin-Mil-lville High School. That’s where P.J.graduated from high school.
While it was assumed that P.J. wouldbe in FFA, he drifted away for a bitwith the thought that FFA was some-thing his parents did. That didn’t last.P.J. traveled to Washington, D.C. for
the Washington LeadershipConference and discoveredthat FFA was where he wantedto be and how he could serveother people.
His year as an FFA state offi-cer has been a great experienceand opportunity.
“It’s been an incredible ridethus far. It was everything I expectedand so much more,” said P.J. “Spendingtime with members at camps and con-ferences, chapter visits, meeting indus-try businesses.”
P.J. is a sophomore at the Universityof Minnesota, St. Paul. He is majoringin mathematics while taking quite afew agriculture classes. He is lookingto combine math with ag statistics orprecision agriculture. He is exploringthe courses and career that will be thebest fit.
“FFA really has something for every-one,” said P.J.Iowa FFA Leadership Conference
Iowa State FFA President MichaelTupper will be celebrating the accom-
plishments of FFA atthe 88th Iowa FFALeadership Confer-ence April 19-21 inhis college town ofAmes.
“We highlight theaccomplishments ofFFA membersthroughout the year,”
said Tupper.Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad and Agri-
culture Secretary Bill Northey areexpected to be in attendance, alongwith over 5,000 state FFA members.The conference theme follows thenational theme of Amplify: Boost yourImpact.
During the conference, Iowa FFAmembers will once again be packagingrice and soy meals for Iowa and abroadas part of Meals from the Heartland.
FFA was instrumental in helpingTupper explore his career options inagriculture and develop his potentialas a leader.
“When I was a freshman and sopho-
more in high school, there were a lot ofstate officers that had an influence onme. I wouldn’t be the person I am todayif it weren’t for them,” said Tupper.
Today, Tupper is an Iowa State Uni-versity sophomore who is studyingagricultural engineering and agricul-tural business. He grew up in NewHampton, Iowa, on a diversified fam-ily farm that raises corn, soybean, cat-tle and hogs.
“I want to work in industry equip-ment design for several years. Myultimate goal is to get back into ourfamily farm and be transitioned intothat operation,” said Tupper.
For Tupper, the most rewardingaspect of being the state president ispaying it forward and giving back tosuch a great organization. Tuppergets to help other FFA members grow,develop and explore career options.
“FFA is the best organization todevelop students potential for leader-ship, personal growth and career suc-cess,” said Tupper. ❖

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer
WILLMAR, Minn. — At age 20,Brett Petersen sports an impressiveresumé in the business of farming.He’s partners with his brother,Hunter, and cousin, Cody Suder, inPeteCo — a 1,000 acre crop enter-prise. Petersen is also a junior partnerwith his parents, Kyle and PaulaPetersen, in their 5,000-plus acres ofcorn, sugar beets, sweet corn andpeas. Skilled in farming technologyand public speaking, he’s a second-year student at Ridgewater Commu-
nity College in Willmar, studyingagronomy and farm management.
Now, add this achievement to hisresumé: at the 2015 National FFAConvention in Louisville, Ky., Petersenwas named the National Champion inSpecialty Crops. The Land caught upwith Petersen in the family’s farmshop for this Q&A.
Q: How important is continuingeducation for you?
Petersen: I think it’s vital.Agricultureis such an exciting and technology-driven industry. It’s a must to keep
informed and know what’shappening — not just in Min-nesota agriculture, but acrossthe nation and overseas. Welearned in our high school agprogram that food productionis key to the world’s future.The ag program at Ridgewa-ter greatly reinforces all thedynamics of agriculture. It’s agreat school.
Q: Because of theirdiversified farming pro-gram, your parents pro-vided you an excellenthead start. But you also give a lotof credit to Christa Williamson,who was your ag teacher and FFAmentor at Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg High School.
Petersen: Yes, she encouraged me todo the application for the special cropcompetition at the National FFA Con-vention. She’s been a big push for me.The Specialty Crops category fitswithin our farming business; so I didmy application on sugar beets, sweetcorn and peas. I started my crop pro-duction program four years ago tobuild up records for this national com-petition. You only need one crop toenter. At the national convention Icompeted against an FFA studentfrom California who grew lavender.Lots of different crops in this event. Iwas awarded the Minnesota State StarFarmer in 2014. Because of FFA, I’vehad great opportunities and met sometremendous people.
Q: Is going after a nationalaward in FFA time-consuming?
Petersen: Well, I just prefer to call itbuilding a business management plan.I started filling out my applications in2010 and have been collecting crop pro-ductions records every year. When Iwon at state, I was then able to moveon to national competition in 2014. Yes,very precise records are vital. Thejudges explore the records of eachapplicant to verify that there are noholes in our paperwork. Plus we each
meet with our four judgesprivately. They question uson our financials, our mar-keting strategies, our lead-ership abilities and otherstuff. We’re expected to beable to speak positively onbehalf of agriculture. Theyeven quiz us on our innova-tion skills and knowledge ofoperating the machineryand electronic packagesthat are part of modernagriculture. In essence, theyare quizzing us on our skillsso that we can become even
more efficient food producers through-out our farming careers.
Q: And which of your three cropshas been most profitable?
Petersen: My sugar beets. There’s asignificant difference in net profitbetween these three crops. Over thepast four years, my beets have aver-aged between 26 and 30 tons eachyear. Sweet corn is less reliable, both interms of production and price swings.But an advantage with sweet corn isbeing able to price contract at thebeginning of each year. The same situ-ation with peas. The disadvantage isthat you don’t have the opportunity tosell on the open market should therebe a good price bounce upward. Butwhat I’ve learned is simply the ongo-ing challenge of farming — forwardprice or risk the open market! All threeof my crops are contract crops. Thejudges asked several questions onmarketing including our knowledge ofthe federal farm program.
Q: As you look back on your totalFFA career, how do you rank thisnational competition?
Petersen: I think this has been thebiggest part of my FFA career. Also theleadership side of FFA has been hugefor me because helping other membersthrough my high school career wasalways rewarding. I know that build-

PETERSEN, from pg. 16Aing my leadership skills will help me throughout mycareer. I competed against three others in the nationalspecialty crops category. But this starts with 50 sinceeach state has a state winner qualifying for thenationals. These judges are from the industry so theyask some tough questions. All four of my judges weremen, but women were also part of the judging group.
Q: Is the National FFA Convention a high-light event in your young life?
Petersen: Absolutely. I’ve attended five conven-tions. Yes, it’s a tremendous learning event. You meetfellow FFA’ers from across America. You meet andhear some dynamic speakers. You get even moreenthused about this dynamic industry called agricul-ture and the reality that down the road you might bea key contributor to the future of this industry. Abonus of my national award is a one-week trip toCosta Rica in June to tour their ag industry alongwith 49 other FFA members from other states.
Q: Do you earn any money doing all thesevarious FFA events?
Petersen: Yes, you can earn money doing thesevarious proficiency events, both at state and nationallevel. But that certainly isn’t a factor in the process.I would call it a minor reward that helps trim someof the expenses.
Q: Your farming career is about to launch.What’s ahead with your FFA career?
Petersen: I intend to complete an application forthe American State Farmer award. I may hold offuntil next year to add one more year of records to myapplication. I will definitely be joining the KSM FFAalumni and hopefully going on to the state FFAFoundation Board.
Q: You are so complimentary about your agteacher. Why is that?
Petersen: She has been my springboard. She’sbeen 10 years at our school. She pushes kids to do
great things. Our school board likes her. So does ourentire community and that’s why we have such anoutstanding ag program at KSM school. We recentlyadded on the high school and including an additionto our ag classroom. We have over 100 studentsenrolled in our ag and FFA program. We have onlyabout 220 students in grades 7 through 12. It’s beena great road for me to travel with our KMS program.
■
As you might expect, Brett Petersen held someFFA offices throughout his career. He was chapterreporter in the ninth grade; vice president in tenthgrade; president during his last two years in highschool. Plus, he was elected Region 5 FFA treasurer.He considered a run at a state FFA office, butdecided his plate was already full. Petersen setshigh standards; but as he so well knows, nothing isaccomplished until goals are set. ❖

You’ve no plans for alarm clocks,suit-and-tie combos, rush-hour com-mutes, cubicles, or boring meetings.You’re ready to retire and leave themall behind. But can you afford to avoidthose things forever? With “How toMake Your Money Last” by JaneBryant Quinn, you’ve got a workingchance of it.
What will you do when you canfinally do what you want?
That’s an important question, saysQuinn. The routine you followed for20, 30, even 40 years probably won’tbe the same after retirement, and youmay need some direction. You mightbe happy about not looking at a calen-dar all the time; but you won’t “wantto look at a … calendar that’s blank.”
The key to making the most of yourretirement is to make the most of your
money. You’ll want to know how to “pru-dently parcel your money out” so youdon’t take too much or too little of thefunds available to you for the duration.Consider: tax issues, investment tools,tricks for bringing more to your bankaccount and ways to protect your spouse.
On that latter point, says Quinn,
“talk, talk, talk.” Before you retire, dis-cuss expectations and concerns withyour spouse, and bring all money mat-ters to the table.
Next, “It’s time for a financial scan,”she says. Know how to “rightsize,” con-sider housing needs and look at savings.Figure out how you’ll budget to trimexpenses and still enjoy retirement.Know “Seven Special Situations” that“can’t be shoehorned neatly into the …process” and learn when it’s perfectlyacceptable to tell your children “no.”
Educate yourself on the ins and outs
of Social Security. Study how waiting tofile may make a huge difference, long-term. Learn to choose the best pensionbenefits and why buying a pension maybe advantageous. Know how to get theright health insurance coverage. Learnabout home equity loans and how toleverage your home’s value.
From the first pages, filled with ideasfor filling your time, to the choosing ofa power of attorney, Quinn coversalmost every kind of money matter aretiring Boomer might need to know.The information is presented withterms and formulas which are simpli-fied even for the most mathematically-challenged. Quinn starts most pointswith need-to-know information, offersplaces to turn for help, and includesthings of which readers should beware.
Look for the reviewed book at a book-store or a library near you. You may alsofind the book at online book retailers.

There are many things wecan learn from farm children— maybe because they aredirect descendants fromfarmers themselves. Chil-dren watch and imitateadults even when they’repicking up things we wishthey wouldn’t.
Farmers are creative bynature. If they can’t findwhat they want (or if theydon’t want to pay the pricefor something they want)they unearth their drawing table, do alittle figuring on their blue jeans andlift their seed corn caps to scratch theirheads. Soon, they emerge from the shophaving created something out of almostnothing.
It’s what farmers do.It also reminds me of the story of a
man who told God humans had becomeso technologically advanced they couldcreate their own human life. They did-n’t need Him anymore. So God said,“Okay, you can try it, but you’ll have tocreate a person the same way I did.” Sothe man reached to the ground togather up some dirt. When God askedhim what he was doing, the manreplied that he was making a person.But God said to him, “No. Make yourown dirt.”
I’ll bet God would never make thatsame challenge to a farmer. He knowsthey’d do it.
Farmers and their children spend a
lot of time together. As oftenas the farmer has createdsomething out of nothing,the farmer’s children havebeen close by. Watching. See-ing how it’s done. And craft-ing the trade.
When our children were inmiddle school, we decidedthey could spend the after-noon on their own while wehad some running around todo. We got a lot done thatday. And apparently our
children did, too.Darkness had fallen by the time we
returned. As we drove down the gravelroad leading to our farm we could seeall the machine shed lights were on.My husband — not one to waste apenny — was already not happy,assuming the lights had been left onwhile the kids were in the house. Butthe closer we got, the more his attitudechanged.
We saw something gliding across thesnowy front yard behind a fourwheeler.
“What the ... ?” we both thought aswe craned our necks to see what wasgoing on out there. Was that a couchsliding across the front yard? With ...someone ... on it?
My husband rolled the pickup win-dow down. Over the sound of the four-wheeler we could hear the squeals ofdelight coming from all of our children.
They had created a way to have a lit-tle fun outside on a winter day whilewe were gone. Doing as their dadalways did, they went to the shop tosee what was around to create a sled.They had the junk couch which wasn’tdoing anything. Now they needed run-ners.
And once again, the iron pile pro-vided the answer, as it had so many
times before.“We put some disk blades on the bot-
tom of the couch so it would slide,”explained one of our grinning sons. Bynow, his dad was grinning too.
The kids all worked on the “sled”together, then found a rope to hook itonto the four wheeler. What resultedwas an afternoon of bonding in thegreat outdoors and a whole new defi-nition of sledding. Everyone could par-ticipate at the same time, and itoffered a new suggestion for “kickingback and enjoying a cold one.” Theirshrieks of joy proclaimed success.
If only the laundry pile held as muchexcitement as the iron pile does.Shrieks from the laundry room usu-ally mean something totally different.Especially on the farm.

Local Corn and Soybean Price Index
Grain prices are effective cash close on April 5. The price index chart compares an average of most recently reported local cash prices with the same average for a year ago.*Cash grain price change represents a two-week period.
Grain AnglesNext level
management A goal of any good lender and/or financial coun-
selor is to have their farmer clients move their man-agement to the next level. In regards to better man-agement through better financial reporting, thatnext level is moving from farm records used prima-rily for tax management purposes to farm recordsused for financial managementdecision-making purposes.
Some of the key financial man-agement related questions that Ihear every day include: “Is mybusiness truly profitable? I’mpaying income taxes, yet my debtisn’t going down.” “Where is allthe money going in my opera-tion? It seems like we are fallingbehind.” “What changes should Imake in my operation to adjust tolower grain prices?” “How do Iknow if it’s a good time to sell mygrain when it’s time to pay somebills or when the market is going up or down?” “Howdo I know if I should grow my business with my owncash or use borrowed money? Or should I be growingmy business at all?” And, “How can I bring my son ordaughter into the business?”
Relying on farm records only for tax managementpurposes makes it very difficult to answer thesequestions. If a producer can upgrade their recordsand financial reporting to financial managementquality, then it’s easier to answer managementquestions with confidence. So what’s included ingood financial reporting for a grain producer? Thefollowing reports are my “Best in Class” manage-ment reporting:
• A fiscal year-end balance sheet with supporting
Grain OutlookCorn price
plungesThe following marketing analysis is for the week
ending April 1.CORN — The long anticipated U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Grain Stocks as of March 1 andProspective Planting reports were released March31. Leading up to the reports,corn began the week on a strongnote supported by FederalReserve Chairman Yellen’s com-ments stating economic condi-tions have changed since Decem-ber’s view that interest rateswould rise sooner than later.Current statements includedtaking a cautious stance onfuture rate increases, whichpulled the U.S. dollar index lowerand pushed commodity priceshigher.
Chairman Yellen stated“…meeting our objectives for employment and infla-tion will likely require a somewhat lower path for thefederal funds rate than was anticipated in Decem-ber.”
May corn posted a key reversal lower mid-week,and the day prior to the USDA reports, after hittingits highest level at $3.74 per bushel since Feb. 5. Inthe December contract, prices matched the March17 high of $3.90 per bushel before succumbing toselling. Cash grain sales by growers had picked upduring the last couple of weeks as prices rose thencame the release of the stocks and prospective plant-ing reports.
The Prospective Planting report was a bombshellat 93.6 million acres! The trade was anticipating 90
Livestock AnglesTight supply
of cattle The livestock markets appear to have run into
some resistance after posting some early spring ral-lies. Nothing appears to be changing in the battlebetween supply and demand in either the hogs orcattle. The anticipation of a change in this battle isreally not expected in the near future. This continuesto make the livestock marketstrade very erratic until supply ordemand take over the majority ofthe price discovery process.
The cattle market is the pri-mary example of the continuingstruggle between supply anddemand. For months the markethas been dominated by a tightsupply of market-ready cattle andweakening demand. This has putthe market in a seesaw battleeach week as to which way priceswill move depending on theinventory needs of the packer.This has caused a very erratic and volatile pricemovement on a week-to-week basis. For the nearterm, the outlook for any change in this pricingbehavior looks unlikely since there is very littlechange in either the supply outlook or in the demandfor beef.
Based on a longer-term outlook, unless demandpicks up significantly, the supply of cattle looks to beon the increase, which could tilt the trend in priceslower for finished cattle. Given the poor economicconditions, it would be surprising if demand couldsignificantly pick up; given the relationship of beef tothe other competitive meats which are of better valueto the consumer.
Therefore, producers should be wary of the overall

NYSTROM, from pg. 21Amillion acres and last year we planted 88 millionacres. If correct, this would be the largest cornacreage since 2013 and the third highest since1944. This may be the biggest corn acreage numberwe see this year. The biggest decline from the Marchreport to the final number has been 1.9 millionacres. Even at that switch, we’d still be plantingnearly 92 million acres.
Prices crumbled in the wake of the report withMay corn falling to a new contract low of $3.47.25per bushel and the lowest level for a lead corn con-tract since September 2015. December corn plungedto a new contract low of $3.64.75 per bushel. Cornvolume on the Chicago Board of Trade was near arecord on March 31 at 930,300 contracts traded.The grain stocks as of March 1 were 7.808 billionbushels. This was in line with the trade estimate of7.801 billion bushels. Last year we had 7.75 billionbushels of stocks on March 1. Last year on reportday, May 2015 corn closed at $3.76.25 and Decem-ber 2015 corn closed at $4.00.75 per bushel. For theweek, May corn plummeted 16 cents lower to closeat $3.54 per bushel, July was off 16.75 cents at$3.57.75 and the December contract was the biggestloser at $3.69.75 per bushel for a weekly loss of 17.5cents. For the month, May corn lost 5.5 cents.
Weekly export sales at 31.1 million bushels were adisappointment. However, the gap between thisyear’s total sales commitments vs. last year at thistime continues to narrow. Total sales are 15 percentbehind last year vs. 17 percent behind lastweek. The USDA is forecasting an 11.4 percentyear-on-year decline. Average sales over the lastseven weeks have averaged 39.4 million bushelscompared to 23.8 million per week in the sameperiod last year. We need 20.5 million bushels of
sales per week to attain the USDA’s1.65 billion bushel export projection.
China announced its new corn policythis week. They want to move to a more market-driven scenario. Their domestic corn price is about30 percent higher than international prices. Itreportedly includes paying direct subsidies to farm-ers and an end to the government’s corn stockpilingprogram. Commercial firms will be encouraged tobuy corn from farmers at market prices instead ofthe government buying directly from the grower.This would push production into the domesticpipeline and reduce the need for imports. China’scorn stocks, of questionable quality, are estimatedbetween 110 million metric tons and 250 mmt.Importers presently have to buy some reserve cornbefore they are allowed an import permit. China’snew policy won’t take effect until October and waslargely expected by the trade.
Brazil made their largest purchase of Argentinecorn in 15 years when they bought 90,000 metrictons this week. Brazil’s ag minister is proposing tem-porarily cutting the corn import tax, which wouldessentially lower corn import prices by 10 percent, tohelp accommodate the country’s livestock industry.The government is also considering selling 160,000metric tons of government stocks to livestock pro-ducers to alleviate local shortages. Corn prices areat record levels in some areas. Some pork and poul-try producers said they have already purchased upto 500,000 metric tons of corn from Argentina andParaguay for April-May delivery. Brazilian traderssaid imports will probably not last past the start ofwinter harvest in the second half of 2016.
OUTLOOK: For the month, May corn fell 5.5cents. For the week, May corn collapsed 16 cents tosettle at $3.54, July declined 16.75 cents to $3.57.75
and the December contract dove 17.5cents lower to $3.69.75 per bushel.Attention will now focus on planting
weather for price direction. The current spring fore-cast doesn’t foretell any delayed planting conditionsfor the Midwest. As for El Niño, Iowa State Univer-sity climatologist Elwynn Taylor indicated the tran-sition from El Niño to La Niña will not adverselyaffect corn yields.
SOYBEANS — Soybeans continued their trekhigher in the first couple of days during the week,before finding selling prior to the USDA reportrelease. The report numbers however, were friendlyenough to push beans to their highest level sinceAugust 2015 on the continuous (lead month) chart.Producer sales of soybeans have increased sharplyduring the month as prices have rallied. New cropsales have also been impressive as growers madecatch up sales.
The Prospective Planting report was not a gamestopper at 82.2 million acres compared to estimatesfor 83 million acres and last year’s 82.7 millionplanted acres. The planting survey was done the firsttwo weeks of March, when the corn/soybean newcrop ratio was near 2.3 and now it is 2.5. Will we seesome acreage shift on this change, in addition to thewet conditions in the Delta? In six of the last sevenyears, soybean acreage has risen from the Marchintentions report to the June planting report. Soy-bean stocks as of March 1 were 1.531 billion bushelscompared to the 1.556 billion bushel trade estimate.Last year on March 1 we had 1.327 billion bushels ofsoybean stocks on hand. On-farm stocks this yearare up 19 percent from last year and off-farm stocksare up 12 percent compared to last year. Soybeansmanaged to close higher on report day despite thehuge sell-off in corn.
Weekly export sales were on the low side of pre-report estimates at 10 million bushels. Total exportcommitments are 9 percent behind last year. TheUSDA is looking for an 8.3 percent fall in year-on-year exports. We need to sell 4.6 million bushels perweek to achieve the USDA outlook for 1.69 billionbushels of exports. New crop sales were 3.3 millionbushels, bringing them to 64.5 million bushels. Lastyear we already had 123.3 million bushels of newcrop sales on the books. Harvest in South America isgoing strong with Brazil 70 percent complete andArgentina just gearing up at 7.6 percent complete.The Buenos Aires Grains Exchange upped theirArgentine bean production estimate by 2 mmt to 60mmt. The USDA is at 58.5 mmt.
OUTLOOK: May soybeans were up for the monthof March rallying 49.75 cents per bushel. For theweek ending April 1, May beans were up 7.75 centsat $9.18.25 per bushel, July beans gained 8.25 centsto $9.26 and November soybeans were the leaderwith a 9.5 cent increase to close at $9.32.25 perbushel. The lower than expected acreage numberwas a supportive factor as was continued fund buy-ing. First support in the May contract is the 20-daymoving average at $8.99.25 per bushel will resist-ance at $9.29.25 per bushel, the high from October.Weakness in corn may weigh on the soybean marketto limit further gains, but weather and plantingideas should dominate price action. ❖

• An Accrual Income Statement ties changes inbalance sheets to income and expense informationso you can determine true profitability.
• A Reconciliation of Change in Owner Equity toAccrual Income Statement allows you to determinetrue net worth change against any appreciation ordepreciation of assets.
• A Statement of Cash Flows accounts for all dol-lars in and out, including all asset purchases andfamily living.
• Develop an Enterprise Analysis indicatingyields, cost per bushel, and cost per acre. Knowingyour break-even point is a critical considerationwhen determining when to market and how to man-age your inputs and land costs.
• Figure your projected cash flow for the comingyear. This is your road map for decisions on grainsales, asset purchases and borrowing money. It isparticularly important for establishing your operat-ing loan needs.
• Finally, a marketing plan is a guide for makingsales including marketing and risk managementtools which may be used.
One of your first considerations in building “Bestin Class” management reporting is selecting theaccounting system and/or software which is right foryour operation. From my experience, many produc-ers benefit from the assistance of a program likeAdult Farm Business Management to guide themthrough the process. Other operations choose towork with an accountant who may be knowledgeablein both grain production and financial reporting.Your financial services officer can be a great resourcein getting you networked with the right support.
Good financial reporting has many advantages,including the ability to benchmark your operationvs. others. It’s never too late to improve your finan-cial reporting and move to the next level of manage-ment.

TEALE, from 21Acondition of the cat-tle market and pro-tect their inventories as warranted.
It appears the hog market has reached a price levelwhere demand has softened and supply of inventoryis adequate to more than meet that demand. Thepork cutout has been struggling to break throughthe mid-$70 range for several weeks; but has beenunable to accomplish that feat. As a result, the cashand the futures markets have retreated recentlyfrom their respective highs. This would indicatedemand resistance at these levels.
Unless violated in the near future, it could signal apotential top in hog prices for the moment. Thiswould be a little out of the ordinary, considering thetypical seasonal pattern of the hog market. The high
usually falls in the latter spring to early summerperiod. However, if demand does not increase in theweeks ahead, this could verify that a top in the mar-ket is in place.
Producers should be alerted to these market con-ditions and monitor the situation and protect inven-tories as needed. ❖

You can’t miss it driving through Arlington, Minn. — ahelicopter either landing in or taking off from Memo-rial Park. Stop to check it out and you will find your-
self on the Veterans Walking Path of Honor, part of Arling-ton’s memorial to all veterans. The ambitious project grew inphases.
Back around the bicentennial of America, the AmericanLegion and the Veterans of Foreign War erected a pedestalholding three flag poles flying the U.S. flag and those of thetwo organizations. In time, the pedestal deteriorated.
“When the bricks were falling off the pedestal, it was talkeda lot at meetings that we should do something,” said ArdenKreft. “Nobody stepped upº so we decided to do it.”
The “we” was Kreft, who at the time was the AmericanLegion Post Commander, and Elroy “Blackie” Schwirtz, whowas (and is) the VFW Post Commander. They spearheadedthe effort to which the city council gave permission to enlargethe memorial, and gave them $10,000 from a park improve-ment fund. They borrowed an additional $20,000 from thecity (which was shortly paid back).
Veterans Walking Path of Honor was formed as a separateentity from the city and the veteran organizations. The grouphas since put approximately $750,000 into building this areain Memorial Park to honor veterans. Everything is paid forby donations and the sale of paving blocks.
After rebuilding the pedestal, embellished with plaquescommemorating all wars since the Civil War as well as theattacks on Pearl Harbor and 9/11, the memorial continued togrow with 50 more flag poles, a helicopter, statues, and theVeterans Walking Path of Honor. The path, leading from thestreet to the pedestal, is lined with paving blocks naming vet-erans, both living and dead.
The helicopter is a Cobra obtained from the Army. It wasshot down in Vietnam, restored, and sawaction in Desert Storm before beingretired. Around its base, a collection ofdog tags jingle like wind chimes.
Five statues representing all branchesof service were added to form an honorguard around the helicopter. Whennurses from the local hospital noticednone were female, they purchased astatue of a nurse to complete the circle.Fifty flags fly in the wind all summer.
The memorial is a fitting backdrop forArlington’s Memorial Day remembranceeach year. Schwirtz said there are 730paving blocks honoring veterans withroom for 300 more.
If there is a veteran you want to honor,you can contact Arden Kreft at (507) 964-2401 or Blackie Schwirtz at (507) 964-2787. ❖

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer
WILLMAR, Minn. — Abra-ham Lincoln said, “The bestway to predict your future is tocreate it.”
Cheyenne Schmidt, studentin dairy management atRidgewater College in Will-mar, appears to be doing justthat.
“I’m studying dairy management,”Schmidt said. “I really like some of thecourses. My plan right now is to go onwith a five-semester option whichwould enable me to come back nextspring and also earn an ag businessdegree.”
Schmidt already has a job at Pen-nock, Minn., where she helps milk 94Holsteins each day after her collegeclasses wrap up. It’s a Double-8 swingparlor where she handles each milkingcomfortably as well as feeding of thecalves.
Dairy students at Ridgewater alsoget an impressive look at a large dairy.Meadow Star, located about six milesfrom campus, is a new 8,500 Jerseycow operation with a 106-cow rotaryparlor providing 24-hour milking.Meadow Star provides three houses soworkers can live right on site if theychoose.
“I’ve visited Meadow Star twice,”said Schmidt. “Their help is just excel-lent with the cows. The entire farmsparkles. They use the Jersey breedbecause the Holstein produces aslightly lower protein and fat content.
“The Jersey breed has a bitlower milk production, but pro-duces a high value product.Also, because it is a smalleranimal, feed consumption is abit less. So the net result ismore profit per animal.”
With every intention of beingback into dairy farming aftergraduation from Ridgewater,Schmidt said her dairy back-
ground goes back to helping her dad.“Because I didn’t go to day care, I
was out feeding calves and also help-ing with the milking with my dad andboth grandparents,” she said. “And Istill love doing dairy every day.”
When asked if the big mega dairiessuch as Meadow Star will soon controlthe dairy industry, Schmidt replied, “Ithink there will always be both big andsmall. There has to be a balance sothat we all have a voice in the indus-try.”
As an 18 year-old student with adaily job at a dairy farm, Schmidt isnot bashful about speaking up onbehalf of the dairy industry. That’spartly because she is the current DairyPrincess of Kandiyohi County. Shelikes telling the dairy story to correctmisinformation about the dairy indus-try.
“There is so much social media outthere which so often is simply misrep-resenting the dairy industry,” Schmidtsaid.
“Unfortunately, it seems too manyyoung people buy into these erroneous
comments because if it’s on Facebookor Twitter or whatever, there must besome truth to what they are hearing.”
Cheyenne Schmidt was interviewedat the Willmar Ag Show in March. ❖

The following marketing analysis isfor the week ending April 1.
The March Federal order Class IIIbenchmark milk price was announcedby the U.S. Department of Agricultureat $13.74 per hundredweight, down 6cents from February, $1.82 belowMarch 2015, and equates to about$1.18 per gallon, down from $1.19 inFebruary. It is the lowest March ClassIII price since 2010. The first quarterClass III average stands at $13.75,
down from $15.73 at this time a yearago and a distant dream of $22.61 in2014.
Late morning Friday futures por-tended an April price of $13.80, $13.98in May, and $14.01 in June, with a2016 peak of $14.98 for October andNovember.
The March Class IV price is $12.74,down 75 cents from February, $1.06below a year ago, and the lowest Class
IV since October2009. The three-month Class IVaverage stands at$13.18, downfrom $13.62 ayear ago and$23.14 in 2014.
The four weekUSDA-surveyedcheese price usedin calculating themonth’s pricesaveraged $1.5162
per pound, down fractionally from Feb-ruary. Butter averaged $1.9905, down14.5 cents. Nonfat dry milk averaged75.22 cents per pound, down 1.7 cents,and dry whey averaged 24.77 cents perpound, up fractionally from February.
California’s March 4b cheese milkprice is $13.24/cwt., up 19 cents fromFebruary but 73 cents below a yearago, and 50 cents below the comparableFederal order Class III price. The gapis the smallest since June 2011, thanksto a state-mandated, temporary 4bprice adjustment. The 4b average for2016 now stands at $13.12 — downfrom $13.83 a year ago and $21.20 in2014.
The March 4a butter powder milkprice is $12.41, down 87 cents fromFebruary and $1.01 below a year ago.The 4a average stands at $12.98, downfrom $13.32 a year ago and $22.86 in2014.
■
Lower feed prices offset a lower all-milk price to nudge the latest milk feedprice ratio a little higher. The Februaryratio, at 2.15, is up from 2.14 in Janu-ary and up from 2.05 in February 2016,according to the USDA’s latest AgPrices report.
The index is based on the currentmilk price in relationship to feed pricesfor a dairy ration of 51 percent corn, 8percent soybeans and 41 percentalfalfa hay, in other words, one poundof milk today purchases 2.15 pounds ofdairy feed containing that blend.
The February U.S. average all-milkprice was $15.70/cwt., down 40 cents
from January and $1.10 below Febru-ary 2015.
February corn, at $3.57 per bushel,was down 9 cents from January and 22cents per bushel below February 2015.Soybeans averaged $8.51 per bushel,down 20 cents from January, and $1.40per bushel below February 2015.Alfalfa hay averaged $142 per ton,down $5 from January, and $25 per tonbelow 2015.
Looking at the cow side of the ledger,the report shows the February cullprice for beef and dairy combined aver-aged $77.50/cwt., up 3.3 cents fromJanuary; $32.50/cwt. below February2015; but compares to the 2011 baseaverage of $71.60/cwt.
■
The Daily Dairy Report points outthat the dairy Margin Protection Pro-gram margin for the January to Febru-ary 2016 period is $8.01 which is $1.55less than the prior two-month periodand is a penny above the maximumprotection level of $8/cwt.
National Milk adds, “most forecastsnow project the (MPP) program willmake payments every month throughAugust, with the low point rangingfrom $6.50 to $7.00/cwt. The forecastsindicate the all-milk price will average$1.60–$2.10/cwt. below 2015’s averagefor all of 2016.”
■
Chicago Mercantile Exchange cashdairy product prices saw little changethe last week of March as tradersanticipated the next Global DairyTrade auction on April 5. The cheddarblock cheese closed Friday at $1.47 perpound, down 2 cents on the week and11 cents below that week a year ago.The cheddar barrels finished at$1.4550, up a half-cent on the week but14 cents below a year ago. Seven carsof block were traded on the week at theCME and 11 of barrel.
Midwest cheese makers say produc-tion is at or near full capacity, reportsDairy Market News. Milk is readilyavailable and pushing into the vats.Some processors are trying to sellexcess loads of milk to ease the pres-sure. A few manufacturers were willingto take it at $2 to $3 under Class tokeep the vats full.
“Inventories for commercial cheesetypes are generally long, but manufac-turers are finding specialty cheeses aremoving well and stocks of these vari-eties are tighter,” Dairy Market News

MIELKE, from pg. 2Bsays. “Domestic cheese demand is rela-tively stable and good, especially forretail and food service accounts. Cur-rent price points make it possible for
processors to move cheese. After a bit ofa lull, cheese makers were observing alittle pick-up in order volumes. Theyare hopeful the trend continuesthrough the spring and into the sum-
mer grilling season.“Western cheese manufacturers con-
tinue to report good retail demand fornatural cheese. However, supplies areoutpacing demand for process cheeseand cheese entering manufacturinglines. Many contacts perceive cheeseinventories are already long and grow-ing and cheese production is veryactive. Some additional milk is beingdiverted to cheese vats as educationalinstitutions go on spring break. Cur-rently, milk supplies are in fairly goodbalance. But, as the region more fullyenters into spring flush, some industrycontacts are concerned growing milkintakes could further translate intoheavy cheese inventories.”
■
Spot butter shot up early in theweek, jumping 2.75 cents March 29and closed April 1 at $1.96, 3.75 centshigher on the week. This reverses threeweeks of decline and is 22 cents abovea year ago. On the week, 15 cars weresold.
Dairy Market News says, “creamavailability in the Central region issteady to higher as increasing milk vol-umes clear to bottling to meet ordersfrom educational institutions reconven-ing after the mid semester break. Also,milk intakes are higher at various but-ter/powder plants as farm milk produc-tion moves toward the flush through-out the region. Cream loads from boththe east and west regions are clearinginto central churning operations ascream supplies in those regions out-pace manufacturing room.”
“Butter churn operators are focusingon bulk production with an eye towardbuilding inventories ahead of summer,”according to Dairy Market News.Inventories are steady to growing. But-
ter demand from retail outlets is lowerand food service interest is reported assteady.
On a bright note, Dairy Market Newsadds “with recent research showing thehealth benefits of dairy butterfat, manyrestaurant account managers continueto offer butter as a regular menu item.”But, the butter market is “unsettled.”“Market participants expected butterprices would moderate after the springholidays. However prices on the CMEGroup trading venue have yet to showa downturn.”
Dairy Market News says cream is“readily available for western butterproduction. However, churns arealready full, or nearly full, and manybutter makers are not overly eager tobuy excess cream. Domestic retail but-ter demand is holding steady, DairyMarket News concludes, “but invento-ries are building at both manufacturersand secondary marketers.”
Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk fin-ished the week three-quarter centslower, closing at 71.75 cents per pound,25.75 cents below a year ago, witheight carloads trading hands on theweek.
The February Consumer Price Indexfor all food was 248.6, up 0.9 percentfrom 2015. The dairy products indexwas 219.7, down 2.6 percent, with freshwhole milk down 6.2 percent; cheese,down 2.5 percent; and butter, down 1.6percent.

MIELKE, from pg. 4Bhighest planted acreage in the UnitedStates since 2013 and will be the thirdhighest planted acreage since 1944.
Soybean planted area was estimatedat 82.2 million acres, down less than 1percent from last year. Compared withlast year, planted acreage intentionsare down or unchanged in 23 of the 31estimating states. The cotton plantedarea is estimated at 9.56 million acres,up 11 percent from 2015.
FC Stone’s Dave Kurzawski says,“The big story was significant expan-sion of corn acres, especially in theplains where Kansas and NorthDakota both added 650,000 acres,while Nebraska and South Dakotaeach added 300,000 as well. Cornplanting intentions surged to 93.6 mil-lion, up from 88 million the previousyear and up from trade expectations of90 million.”
Kurzawski adds, “We saw consider-
able ‘prevent-plant’ acres from lastyear come back, with Missouri plantingnearly an extra million acres of soy-beans versus the previous year. Thedata also suggests USDA may haveover-stated the size of the 2015 soy-bean crop by up to 25 million bushels,while spring wheat acres were muchsmaller than expected — putting moreemphasis on forecasts for dryness inthe northern plains and Canadianprairies for the growing season ahead.In the end, the margin for error againsta weather threat got smaller for soy-beans and spring wheat, while itbecame much larger for corn.”

Cooperatives Working Togetheraccepted 11 requests for export assis-tance on the week from Dairy Farmersof America, the Michigan Milk Produc-ers Association, the Northwest DairyAssociation (Darigold) and TillamookCounty Creamery Association, who havecontracts to sell 2.216 million pounds of
cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese; and3.948 million pounds of whole milk pow-der to customers in Asia, the MiddleEast and South America.
The product has been contracted fordelivery through September and raisedCWT’s 2016 export sales to 12.2 millionpounds of cheese, 7.7 million pounds ofbutter and 14.7 million pounds ofwhole milk powder to 14 countries.

The Wisconsin-based AmericanDairy Coalition held a two-day eventon Capitol Hill on March 22-23. AnADC press release stated the event“focused on moving forward a newimmigration reform policy in whichthe federal government approves aprocess for states to issue visas tosecure a reliable labor force for theindustry.”
“Our nation’s dairy, livestock andagriculture producers face relentlesslabor shortages as they struggle to fillwell-paying positions which seeminglyonly appeal to foreign workers,” theADC charged. “Without the certaintyof a reliable and stable workforce, theindustry cannot continue to grow at arate that keeps up with the demandsof our growing global population.”
