INSIDE THIS ISSUE:

An incredible event happened becausesomeone in my family turned 83 on May28. That would be my brother Donald, aretired farmer now living in Northwood,Iowa, (my home town) which nestles justsouth of the Minnesota border about 14miles from Albert Lea, Minn.

His adventure-minded daughter askedher favorite Dad if he’d like some realadventure as a birthday gift — like jump-ing from an airplane.

My brother still being of sound mind, Ithink, said, “I’d love it. That’s been onmy wish list for a long time.”

Daughter Nancy who resides at Dun-das, Minn., and is a cranking good car sales ladybecause her husband, John, runs a cranking good Forddealership, then started thinking, “if my Dad is thisexcited about sky diving (parachute jumping for us oldschool folks) why not get more of the family involved?”

Nancy had already told her Dad that she would bejumping with him. Nancy soon had her dear sisterJulie, in real estate sales at Northwood, also talkedinto doing the jump. Apparently it was a quick sale forNancy’s daughter, Grayce, and son, Cameron. Hus-band, John, also agreed to fill out the lineup. And soonthis favorite niece was asking “Uncle Dick, I think youshould join us, especially since your big brother isdoing the event.” My quick reaction: “Why not?”

So on June 13 we all headed to Winsted,Minn., where an outfit called Westside Sky-divers uses the Winsted Municipal Airport(37 miles west of Minneapolis) to host skydiving events virtually any day of the week.We were introduced to a talented crew ofyoung men and women who hitch up tandemwith each of us jumpers — we’re in frontwith our “jump master” tightly strappedbehind us. But first, a bit of “brainwashing”of us neophytes before we get into our strapsfor what promises to be the most awesome30 minutes of our lives. A 10-minute video

gets you airborne, so to speak, with a jumpmaster describing the ride up the air-plane, more comments about how you exit

the plane, and then he/she describes how you “steer”your parachute during the descent phase.

Shucks, that all seemed pretty simple. Sonny, my jumpmaster, said let’s get out to our Cessna and start climb-ing. Because we were a total of seven jumpers, it wouldrequire two separate flights. So my brother, my twonieces (both married women with children and responsi-ble jobs in their busy lives) and I climbed on board forthe first sky dive. A jump master hitched up behind eachof us. So now we were eight, but also two more skydivers climbed in, one equipped with hand-held videocamera; the other guy just up doing a free-fall dive.

LAND MINDS, from pg. 2This turbo-charged Cessna had a big load:

10 people plus the pilot. We slowly climbedto 14,000 feet —nearly 3 miles upin the beautifulblue sky of that gorgeous day. We each hadan altimeter strapped to our left wrist so wecould track our gradual ascent into the wildblue. Soon my altimeter read 14,000 and abank of red lights next to the exit doorturned on. It was time to taste the sky.

Let me tell you, when you exit this bird at14,000 feet the world suddenly gets verybig. We’re now “free falling.” That means mybody was simply streaking through the sky,at 120 mph according to Sonny. And it wascold up there — about 38 degrees Fahren-heit even though it was a fresh, cozy 78 F14,000 feet below me. But adrenaline ispumping. You barely notice the cold air, butyou certainly feel the rush. We were freefalling for about 60 seconds (seemed longer) andwhen my altimeter read 8,000 feet I pulled a triggerthat opened this heavenly piece of colorful silk calleda canopy. It was a sudden jolt when you no longer arefalling 120 mph.

Now you truly do take in the beauty of God’s earth.The Winsted area is farm country, so patternedquilts of corn fields, alfalfa fields (one actually beingcut as we descended), beautiful farmsteads, and evena few of Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes were deliciouslyspread out below me.

“You want to make a right turn?” Sonny asked.“Then pull down the canopy shroud in your righthand.” I did and immediately we were turning to theright. I did the same turn to the left. He asked if I’dlike to try a corkscrew. Well that sounded good so he

told me to now pull my right arm down hard. Justlike that we were twisting downward, and fast,because you had just collapsed your chute. Ease offand your canopy fills and is again gliding gently toour landing area.

Because we are hitched tandem, we don’t try land-ing “feet up.” Instead we stick our legs out straightahead. Sonny was now “flying the ship” and we gen-tly touched down sort of sliding on our butts, withlegs stretched out. With nary a bump, my sky dive

was over. And now it was the jubilationof suddenly realizing that I had just skydived 14,000 feet and the scenery pro-vided by my good Lord was absolutely athing of wonder. My dear elder brotherwas equally elated. He admitted, “I saida little prayer. God was listening becauseI sure had a good ride.”

This whole issue of “heaven and earth”takes on some new dimensions whensuddenly it’s just you and a rush of air.My suggestion: If anyone suggests a skydiving adventure for your next birthday,DO IT. I now even have a Certificate ofAchievement which reads: “Proudly Pre-sented to Richard Hagen who success-fully completed a tandem parachutejump at Westside Skydivers! The skydiveincluded a freefall at speeds of 120 milesper hour and a descent under canopy fol-lowed by a safe landing.”

Sonny, my tandem master, was doingjump No. 768 with me June 13. He said he’d proba-bly do three or four more that day since the condi-tions were so perfect. Some of these crew peoplehave made up to 14 tandem jumps in a single day.The female tandem master hitched to my nieceNancy has done more than 2,200 jumps.

Yep, it gets contagious!Dick Hagen is staff writer of The Land. He may be

In yet another testament tothe careful inattention thisoffice consistently pays to thecareer of its founding (and, asever, only) staff member, ananniversary of sorts came andwent a month ago with nary anotice, nod or neigh.

During the first week of June1993, 20 alarmingly fast yearsago, this column first saw printin the Galesburg (Ill.) Register-Mail. A week later, two otherIllinois newspapers, the PeoriaJournal Star and the Bloomington Pantagraph,began to carry it. Both still do.

So do dozens more in 26 states from Maryland (TheDelmarva Farmer) to Montana (The GlendiveRanger-Review and the Western Ag Reporter).

Twenty years of 51 “Farm and Food Files” per yearadd up to 1,020 columns and, in round numbers,714,000 words. Lightweight Leo Tolstoy managed tostuff only 587,287 words into his 1,440-page turner,“War and Peace.”

Truth be told, 30 years of free-lance writing and 20years of column writing takes a toll. It’s especiallyhard on office equipment (four computers, five print-ers, three desk chairs, one pencil sharpener) but eas-ier on the body.

Journalism is, after all, inside work where anyheavy lifting is limited to little more than a full pintglass after deadline or an empty page two hoursbefore deadline.

Someone mention deadlines?In 20 years and one month of weekly deadlines, the

“Farm and Food File” has not missed one. Ever.While some might knock on wood to ward off anyjinx the mention of that fact might bring, I onlythank the Good Lord for good health, good ideas andreally good, really fast fingers.

While deadline pressure never changes, ag journal-ism has. For example, three years into this writingadventure, in 1996, five newspapers still received thecolumn by mail. Mail. How quaint.

Other, more tech-savvy subscribers to the columnback then received it by modem. Remember thebeep-beep-beep dialing, the screeching, wailing, shh-hhshhh-ing, and ping pinging of dial-up modems?

You would if you had to send several dozen editorsa farm and food policy column late every Wednesdayafternoon one slow telephone connection, one uniquepassword and one newspaper at a time.

Since every column was composed, edited and sentto (most) newspapers by computer, an electronic copyof each survives. Once all were stored on reallyfloppy 8-inch magnetic disks; now all hibernatepeacefully on a “thumb drive” that is, in fact, smaller

than most infants’ thumbs.A printed copy of each sleeps, also, in file upon

file in banker box after banker box in an officestoreroom. Arranged by day, month and year,the boxes amount to a small Dumpster of papersomeone will have to lug to the recycler one day.

But not just yet.Lately one of my best editors ever, daughter

Mary Grace, has read her way through a largepile of files that feature memories of my family,

Uncle Honey, and the hired men on “the large south-ern Illinois dairy farm of my youth.” Years of writingcolumns about these people and times has deliveredmore than 60 “youth” stories. Amazing.

The goal is to publish a small book of 50 or so ofthe columns so at least that portion of the “Farmand Food File” — unlike its 20th anniversary — isnot forgotten.

What will never be forgotten, however, are thehundreds of thousands of readers who have read,commented and, often enough, cursed this effortevery week for 20 years. Thank you very, very muchand keep reading, writing and (ahem) commenting.

And thanks to all the newspaper managing edi-tors, editors and publishers who have printed thecolumn through the years. Writing what I write theway I write isn’t noteworthy. Having the courage toprint it, however, is highly praiseworthy.

It’s no big news flash that farmers havebeen known to eat supper at the samehour as laborers getting up to start thework day in Europe. If you live at ourhouse, you know that if there’s as muchas a shred of daylight showing, it’s far tooearly to stop working.

My husband would have gotten alongvery well with John Wayne in the movie,“The Cowboys,” with his mantra, “We’reburnin’ daylight!”

But working until the cows come homeaffects not only the farm hands, but thewoman of the house as well. She mustdecide what she could prepare that would notshrivel up, grow hair or take on a life of its ownbefore 10:30 or 11 p.m., when her family enters thehouse — hungry, exhausted, smelling like animalsand their “end” products, and needing showers.

Our grill gets the most use during the summer —same as everyone else’s. The difference with us isthe time of day in which it’s used. When in town,you can smell people firing up the grill during nor-mal suppertime hours. Our group would still have along list of things to accomplish yet at that time ofday, and stopping for supper would only prolong thetime it took. That means that if they want some-thing fresh and hot, it comes off the grill when theyare ready for supper.

Well, they want something fresh and hot, butwhat they’ve often gotten is hot and leathery.

Our family wouldn’t even know what a hamburgerlooked like if it didn’t have ashes on it. It’s a well-known fact around here that during a drought year,it’s not a good idea to have trash to burn, or haveme at the grill. Both of those things often end in thesame results. It’s far too dry to take a chance onflames shooting up from the grill, and eating supperis not worth setting the yard or the house on fire.

The worst part of all of that is that most of thetime I’m grilling after dark. Occasionally, people will

drive by the farm at that time of night,and are witnesses to the smoke andflames, the garden hose at work and aflame-dousing spatula. It’s pretty hard forthem to deny my lack of culinary prowess— or even sleep that night — when theywitness something like that.

And yet, I maintain that if I can’t seethe food I’m grilling, I can’t guarantee theresults. It’s probably a good thing my fam-ily doesn’t hold me to high standards.

I remember once as I was growing up,when Mom burned a grill full of steaks forour family of nine. She quickly gathered

up the pieces of what was going to be supper, andtold us to throw them out somewhere in the grovewhere Dad wouldn’t see them, and she cooked some-thing else. I’m certain Dad must have thought hewas working too hard by the time supper actuallyreached his plate, because he was probably sure hesmelled steaks on the barbie.

And it all happened in broad daylight. Apparently,

the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.Now, after nearly 27 years of marriage, three

grown children and an unusual collection of (once-beef) hockey pucks, I’m finally getting the hang of it.

And not a moment too soon — as my husband andchildren had consumed their daily requirements ofshoe leather, and put me to shame over time as theywould carry in platters of beautifully grilled entreeswhen they were on grill duty. Somehow, the rest ofthe meal being beautifully prepared did not impressthem as much as meat that was not blackened.

I think I was just ahead of my time. Somewhere insome restaurant, blackened steaks and hamburgersare probably at the top of the menu, raking in bigmoney. My grilling skills could be worth a lot to theright people.

I guess that for a lot of years, we weren’t justburnin’ daylight.

Karen Schwaller brings “Table Talk” to The Landfrom her home near Milford, Iowa. She can bereached at [email protected]. ❖

Burnin’ daylight (and steaks) something to avoid

When a disaster suddenly strikes, it canbe frightening for everyone — includingyour pet. The best thing you can do toensure your safety and that of your pet isto develop a plan for emergencies and havethat plan ready before disaster strikes.

Pet owners should ensure their animalsare identified using a system, such as acollar or microchip, that will allow themto be reunited if they are separated, saidWesley Bissett, assistant professor at theTexas A&M College of Veterinary Medi-cine and Biomedical Sciences. Collars may be lessexpensive but are easier to lose, while microchips arepermanently implanted within the animal. Bissettalso recommends that pet owners keep a photo ofthem and their pet to verify ownership.

It’s imperative to keep a pet’s vaccinationscurrent. “If you do not typically have your dogvaccinated for Bordetella, or kennel cough,

consider doing so as storm season approaches,”said Bissett. “This is disease prevention, in caseyour pet is checked into an animal shelter.”

Pet owners also should remember their ani-mals when packing emergency supplies: Keepa one-week supply of food on hand, to prevent

the pet’s gastrointestinal tract from becomingupset, as well as enough water for the pet for

up to three days. If you must evacuate, be sureto grab your pet’s food and water bowls before leav-ing.

The emergency kit also should include a two-weeksupply of your pet’s medications, as well as a copy ofthe pet’s medical records. “It may be difficult to haveprescriptions re-filled in an emergency situation,”said Bissett. “Also, make sure you have a kennel orcrate to transport your pet in case of an evacuation.”

Following a pre-written strategy during a disasterwill help ensure your safety and that of your pet. Adisaster plan not only saves valuable time, it alsohelps you remember important details.

“It is also important to heed all evacuation recom-mendations and orders,” said Bissett. “If the numberof animals that you will be evacuating will requiremultiple trips, plan ahead and leave early.”

Pet owners should remember to get help for theirpets if they are injured during a disaster. In manycases, veterinary care is part of the state or local dis-aster response. “If help is not instantly available,”said Bissett, “perform first aid until help arrives.”

When you think of the dishesserved by outdoor chefs totheir guests, many thingscome to mind.

Burgers, steaks, chops andhotdogs are the most com-mon. One dish that is a clas-sic but not served frequentlyis the topic of this week’s col-umn, BBQ chicken.

Why is that? It’s deliciouswhen prepared properly, but apotential series of culinary land-mines await those who don’t know the basics whenattempting this dish. Different sized pieces createtiming issues, and white meat is typically cooked tothe proper temperature prior to the dark meat.

Also, the skin is a source of serious flame ups asthe chicken cooks, resulting in charred chickenthat may not be done on the inside. Ever servechicken that hasn’t been cooked to the correcttemperature? Let’s just say it can put a realdamper on the party. So, let’s start off by coveringsome basics. Then I will explain the technique Iuse when grilling BBQ chicken.

• Do not use frozen chicken. Before placingchicken on the grill, make sure it is totally thawed.This applies to all forms of chicken, even thosefrozen boneless pieces you get in a bag. Otherwise,the outside of the chicken is dry and rubbery beforethe internal sections are cooked through. (Thaw the

chicken in the fridge. It may take a couple days, butthat is much safer than thawing at room tempera-ture.)

• Wash your hands often and clean surfaces thor-oughly with hot water and soap.

• If you aren’t real comfortable withyour grilling skills, try using the samecut of meat. All thighs, all breasts, youget the picture. This way, theoretically,all your chicken will be done atroughly the same time.

• If you don’t like the skin, trygrilling skinless pieces. But, pleaserealize that while you eliminate themajor source of flame ups, you are risk-ing a drier piece of chicken at the end.

• Buy a nice poultry rub or betteryet, make your own. The rub adds agreat flavor and texture.

• Same advice as the previous pointpertains to sauce. Buy a BBQ sauceyou like, or make your own. I wouldavoid the brands that promote the“smoky flavor.” That’s liquid smoke.Yuck.

Set up your kettle grill with indirectheat. Sprinkle some hickory chips onthe coals if you want a smoky flavor. Ifusing a gas grill, preheat the grill onhigh then turn off an outside quad-rant. Scrape down your grates with a

wire brush and rub with a rag that has olive oil on it.Reduces sticking.

Rub the chicken pieces down with your rub, thenplace on the grill on the area that does not havedirect heat. Brush with your sauce. Close the grill.What we are doing here is cooking the chickenalmost all the way through without exposing themeat to the direct flame. Depending on the heat andthe pieces you are cooking, this can take 30 minutesor so. Half way through, turn the chicken and brushthe other side with the sauce.

The chicken is done when the internal temperaturereaches 165 to 170 degrees Fahrenheit, so once youhit 160 F, it’s time to move the chicken over thedirect heat. (Insert an instant read thermometer andtake the reading while it is not touching a bone.)Now be ready, as this next step is where you earnyour grilling stripes.

What’s going to happen? Yep. Fire, and potentiallylots of it. If you are using a gas grill, turn the heat tolow. This won’t eliminate the flames but it shouldmake it manageable. If you are using a kettle grill,place the lid on the grill to kill the flames. Remem-ber, once you open it again, those flames will imme-diately reappear. Smear the chicken with sauce onelast time, then discard the remaining sauce.

The point of the direct contact with the heat is tocaramelize the sauce and to give the skin its crunchy(not burnt) texture. Stay with it. Move pieces to thearea with no flames if you get overwhelmed.

Once the chicken is at the right temperature andyou like its looks, it is time to eat.

Many loved ones will not tell theircaregiver of an onset of hearing loss,for fear of losing independence.

Instead, they become isolated,depressed, angry, lonely, frustratedand even physically ill. Some telltalesigns are when a loved one withdrawsfrom their normal social activities,refuses to attend family and friendgatherings, or doesn’t answer thephone anymore, saying they were busyor unavailable. Any avoidance of con-versation is cause for concern.

The Minnesota Department ofHuman Services, Deaf and Hard ofHearing Services Division, offers thesebehaviors which may signal a struggleto hear properly. A loved one may ...

• have trouble distinguishingbetween words that sound alike

• offer responses to questions that donot make sense, have a hard timeunderstanding women and children

• turn head to one side, or cup an earto hear better

• respond often with a smile andnod, but no further comments

• have difficulty with conversationwhile riding in a vehicle

• withdraw from group discussionsand gatherings

• not hear the phone or doorbell• have the volume on a TV or radio

set extremely loudSome physical symptoms that may

occur with hearing loss include a ringing,roaring, hissing or buzzing in the ear, alsoknown as tinnitus; ear pain, itching orirritation; fluid or pus leaking from theear; and vertigo. Caregivers can keep awatchful eye on their loved one for thesebehaviors and physical symptoms.Excuses

If a caregiver suspects a hearing loss,it is important to have it checked soon,in order to prevent problems down theroad. A loved one might resist, but thisis where the “caregiver persistence”and tough love come in.

It is important to caringly and lovinglyhandle some common objections a lovedone may raise to having their hearingchecked. The first common objection isthat the “other people simply aren’t talk-ing loud enough.” In the ears of a personwith hearing loss, everyone is mumbling.

A caregiver can tell their loved onethat it may be a simple medical problemsuch as wax buildup and an exam canrule out certain medical concerns andtreat those conditions.

Second, many seniors are concernedwith spending money. They may say,“It would cost too much to get a hear-ing aid!” The commitment associatedwith hearing aids or other devices is

looked at as perma-nent and thus, alarge cost. A care-giver must realizethat while this istrue, a quality of lifehas its own cost. Bothcaregiver and lovedone must weigh theiroptions once a hear-ing loss is diagnosed.

And third, people ofall ages are worriedabout appearing“old.” A hearing aid only increases thatperception in many minds. Caregiversshould remind a loved one that contin-ually asking people to repeat them-selves and being left out of conversa-tion can be a more visible indicator ofage than a hearing aid. Also, withtoday’s technology, hearing aids areless imposing and noticeable than everbefore.

If a caregiver is prepared to thwartexcuses with a little preparationbefore, a loved one will feel that theircaregiver is competent, educated andsafe to care for them. It will instill aconfidence in a loved one when a care-giver is knowledgeable and organized.Maintenance

There are many ways to protect aloved one’s hearing and make livingwith the condition as comfortable andenjoyable as possible.

First, don’t shout. Many caregiversmay think that talking louder andslower is helpful, but in actuality, itdistorts the conversation even more fora person with hearing loss. Speakingat a normal speed and tone, with smallmodifications, is best.

Background noise is a huge deter-rent for loved ones with hearing loss.Try to eliminate these distractions asmuch as possible. If at home and hav-ing a conversation, turn off the TV orradio, fan or other electric device. Shutwindows if traffic noise is an issue.

After the noise is limited and a con-versation can occur, talking face-to-face is best. A group setting may behard for a person with hearing loss tocatch multiple conversations.

In addition to these talking tips,there is some physical maintenancewhich can help maintain a loved one’shearing. A caregiver can start byscheduling a yearly physical. Manytimes, caregivers are running a lovedone to the doctor for a variety of ail-ments. However, a yearly physical isone appointment not to be overlooked.This is the best way to detect and alsoprevent many medical problems.

Just as a personmakes an annual tripto the eye doctor andneeds a prescriptionto buy new glasses,every person in theirsenior years shouldhave their earschecked as well. Ahearing test willreveal what a lovedone may have been“missing” and noteven known.

Exercise and eating healthy are asimportant to ear health as to hearthealth. A healthy lifestyle leads toincreased focus and response in allareas of life, including hearing. Thebody functions as a whole, so nourish-ing it properly will reap benefits for along time. A caregiver should encouragea loved one to be healthy in all aspects.

A caregiver must be an advocate fortheir loved one with hearing loss. Thefirst step is always education. Know the

signs of hearing loss, and steps to takefollowing a diagnosis. Learn about themany technological advances that canhelp a loved one live a fulfilling lifedespite the challenges.

One of the most loving things acaregiver can do is help their lovedone come to terms with their diagno-sis. This may be even harder than theactual purchase of hearing aids orassistive devices.

Loss of hearing is a scary ventureinto uncharted waters for anyonewith a recent diagnosis. A caregivershould be a constant support throughthe highs and lows of hearing loss.Once it’s properly treated, both sideswill be glad they addressed the issue,together.

Fresh strawberries, a favorite of almost everyone,are relatively easy to grow and hardy throughoutthe Upper Midwest. Horticulturists with Iowa StateUniversity Extension and Outreach share culturalpractices to reduce damage and losses caused byinsects and diseases.

There are small masses of foam-like materialon my strawberry plants. What are thesefoam-like masses?

The foam-like masses on the strawberry plantswere probably created by the meadow spittlebug,one of several species of this commonly recognizedgroup of sap-feeding insects. Spittlebugs are famil-iar because of the frothy, wet mass of “spittle” thatsurrounds the nymphs as they feed on sap fromtheir host plants. The spittle is produced by theimmature stage of the insect (the nymph) and pro-tects the nymphs from natural enemies and desicca-tion. While the foam-like masses of spittlebugs arerather disgusting, spittlebugs cause little harm toplants. Control efforts are usually not warranted.

Some of the strawberries in my garden arecovered with a gray, velvety growth. What is itand how can it be controlled?

The gray, velvety growth on your berries may begray mold. It is also known as botrytis fruit rot.Gray mold growth is promoted by poor air circula-tion and a high humidity in the strawberry plant-

ing. The most commonly infected berries are thosetouching the soil or other infected berries.

Cultural practices can reduce losses due to gray mold.• Do not fertilize June-bearing strawberries in

spring. The application of a nitrogen-containing fer-tilizer in spring promotes lush, vegetative growth.Dense foliage slows the drying of the strawberryplanting, resulting in a more favorable environmentfor gray mold.

• Control weeds in the strawberry bed. Weedsreduce air circulation and slow the drying of thestrawberry plants.

• Mulch the planting with straw to keep theberries off the ground. Berries resting on damp orwet soil are more susceptible to gray mold.

• During dry weather, irrigate in the morningwhen using a sprinkler. Plants dry quickly when irri-gated in the morning.

• “Clean-pick” the strawberry planting. Harvestthe strawberry planting frequently. Pick berries as

soon as they are ripe. Handle berries carefully dur-ing harvest to avoid bruising the fruit. Immediatelyrefrigerate the unwashed berries. Berries thatexhibit symptoms of gray mold should be picked andremoved from the bed.

• Finally, fungicides are used by commercial straw-berry growers to control gray mold. However, cul-tural practices are the best way to control botrytisfruit rot in home gardens.

When should strawberries be harvested?Harvest strawberries when the fruit are uniformly

red (fully ripe). Pick the berries with the caps andstems attached to retain firmness and quality. Pinchoff the stem about one-fourth inch above the cap.Don’t pull them off.

Strawberries should be picked about every otherday in warm weather, every three to four days in coolweather. The harvest period for some June-bearingvarieties may last three to four weeks. Strawberriescan be stored in the refrigerator for up to seven days.Optimum storage conditions are a temperature of 32F and a relative humidity of 90 to 95 percent.

By KRISTIN KVENOThe Land CorrespondentThe BrandtsAda, Minn.

Danny Brandt feelsfortunate he was ableto get 99 percent ofhis intended acresactually planted thisseason. The beanshave been sprayed forthe first time and corn spraying is com-plete. When The Land spoke to Brandton June 25 he was enjoying ideal sum-mer weather — hot and muggy.

The crops at his farm are enjoyingthe weather as well, as the sugarbeetsare starting to close their rows. Accord-ing to Brandt, corn in one of his tallestfields is waist high, and he predictsthat 90 percent of his other corn will be“knee high by the Fourth of July.” Soy-beans “seem to be coming right along,”he said, and the wheat is starting tohead out. Brandt is looking toward aharvest sometime in August.

“I like this weather, it really pushesthings right along,” he said.

Brandt will continue to monitor thecrops, as well as try out some fungi-cides on the corn. He is keeping his eyeout for aphids, as he has heard somefarmers are beginning to see them ontheir soybean plants. Also, in the nexttwo weeks sows on the farm will beginfarrowing.

The Fourth of July will be a time tocelebrate at the Brandt farm — notjust for our nation’s independence butBrandt’s son Evan’s 4th birthday. A bigfamily party complete with a DairyQueen cake is in order for the big day.With a special birthday to enjoy andcrops growing strong, “everything’slooking good,” Brandt said.The JohnsonsStarbuck, Minn.

To say that theJohnson farm got wetwould be quite anunderstatement.From June 20-22 nineinches of rain fell. Sixof those inchesdumped on June 20alone which, coupled with some strongwinds, made for a tough weekend forScott Johnson.

When The Land spoke with him onJune 25 he noted that there’s lots of

standing water in the fields, “somespots I’ve never seen water that high.”The stormy, humid and hot weatherpattern has its benefits, however.“Heat is making the corn look a lot bet-ter,” Johnson said.

Soybeans are “looking OK,” he said,adding “except for the low spots;they’re dead.” He expects to do somereplanting in the washed-out beanfields. Johnson said that while they didget the rain they missed getting hit byheavy hail and severe wind. “The rainwas more damaging than the wind,” hesaid.

Johnson was taking a break fromspraying on June 25 due to the highwinds but wanted to get two fieldsdone by June 26 if the weather cooper-ated. While planting is done andspraying is wrapping up for Johnson,there’s “always plenty of things to do.”He points out that in years like this“the to-do list gets longer, not shorter.”

He does have one request: “We needsome more normal weather.” It seemsthe welcome mat for rain in the Star-buck area has temporarily beenremoved. Heat, sun and more heat isall that is needed for a while.The MessnersNorthfield, Minn.

On June 18 Chris Messner threw inthe towel on what has been the wettestand most-delayed planting season ofhis farming career. Messner plantednearly 400 acres of beans in just threedays, and then made the decision totake the prevent plant option on other

acres that were justtoo wet.

When The Landspoke to Messner onJune 25 he said thatbefore this year thefarm had “never everdone it before (pre-vent plant).” This yearin the Northfieldarea, however, is a year unlike anyother in recent memory. Messner isn’talone in making the tough decision todo prevent planting. There’s “thou-sands of acres going unplanted,” hesaid.

In speaking with fellow farmers“most people are down about not get-ting in the field.” On June 25 Messnerreceived a call while working at Cen-tral Valley Co-op from a farmer stillwanting to try to get some beansplanted and wanted to know aboutavailable varieties. Farmers want tofarm, not stare at blank earth all sum-mer long.

Messner knows that it’s “not going tobe a stellar crop,” but it’s also “not theend of the world.” The forecast calls forthe temperatures in the low-80s, and“we need to make up some heat unitson this stuff,” he said. The heat isalready helping the beans that heplanted just a week prior as they arealready up. They’re “looking nice,” hesaid, “but still have a long ways to go.”

Usually during this time of yearMessner is already looking towardthoughts of harvest and not just com-pleting planting, where he could. How-

ever, just like reluctantly taking hisfirst prevent plant option, this year isanything but usual for him and otherarea farmers.The LaubenthalsSwea City, Iowa

The planting sea-son on the Lauben-thal farm seemedlike a never-endingstory this year, butthe list of actualdays they plantedwas amazingly short.

Charlie Laubenthal planted hiscorn in four days and as many beansas he could in only a day and a half.The weather continually challengedhim, but he’s optimistic that’s aboutto change.

The Land spoke to Laubenthal onJune 25 when he reported that sinceJune 21 the farm had received 3inches of rain. That rain took a toll onalready saturated fields — “every-thing’s full of water,” he said.

While Laubenthal may be doneplanting, he didn’t get everythingplanted. He has 350 acres that shouldbe growing soybeans that will,instead, be under the prevent plantoption this year. He plans to sow seedoats in prevent plant acres. He did tryto replant some of his corn but, afteradditional rainfall, he believes that“anyone that replanted wasted theirtime.” Most corn that was replantedin the low areas is under inches ofwater again.

The corn conditions are all over theplace. Some of Laubenthal’s corn isknee high while other areas are onlytwo inches tall. “We’ve got crops of allstages,” he said. While it’s been a chal-lenge, he knows it could be worse —just 10 miles to the south, field condi-tions are even more unfavorable. Justdriving around the area, Laubenthalhas seen “lots of fields that have neverbeen touched.”

The discouraging crop conditionwon’t slow Laubenthal down as he’llbe soon cutting hay, spraying oats andfinally putting the planter away. As afarmer, a good sense of humor cankeep you from going over the edgeduring challenging times. Laubenthalhas that covered, as he puts a light-hearted spin on what is the end to afrustrating beginning: “We’ve got lessto combine.” ❖

With the advent of RoundupReady technology are we seeing achange in the diversity of weedpopulations in U.S. agriculture?

“We’ve studied that questionalong a transect from Minnesotadown to Louisiana,” said FrankForcella, research agronomist at the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture Soils Laboratory in Morris,Minn. “What we’ve found is that with a single appli-cation of Roundup on Roundup Ready soybeans,we’re not really changing the diversity of that weedpopulation. We are suppressing the weeds and min-imizing population levels but the diversity is stillthere. However, once you apply that second applica-tion of Roundup, then we reduce the diversity aswell.”

Forcella mentioned the “green people” who like tosee a highly diverse population of weeds in thelandscape. Such diversity has merit — for example,different birds need a variety of weed seeds for win-ter nutrition; also “flowering” weeds such as velvetleaf provide pollen for bees. “So there are valuesfrom this diversity of our agricultural systems,” hesaid.

Resistance to glyphosate chemistry keeps expand-ing within the weed world. In Minnesota, Forcellamentioned five species now identified and it keepsincreasing, not only the number of species but also

the distribution of those populations.

He credits the Extension Servicewith doing a good job of keepingfarmers informed of this growingproblem and also the recommendedpreemergent herbicides for effectivecontrol of these weeds. Obviouslygrowers who are not tuned in to thischanging resistance landscape mayhave some frustrations with weed

issues in their fields.Late-season flush

How do growers handle that flush of late-seasonweeds, especially after harvest of soybeans, forexample? Farnaz Kordbacheh, University of Tehranin Iran, spoke about that very thing May 24 at theMorris Soils Lab. Talkingon the effect of late-seasonmechanical and chemicalcontrol on seed viability ofvelvetleaf, giant foxtailand common lambsquar-ter, she said that as soonas seven days after flow-ering, seed viability ofthese “problem weeds”was 100 percent. “So evenafter harvest of soybeans,a late-season flush ofweed growth can substantially boost the populationof viable seeds for next season,” said Kordbacheh,who has completed two years of graduate work atCornell University in Ithaca, N.Y.

Forcella said finding management systems thatwill eliminate that problem are important. “If thoseplants are allowed to produce viable seeds, then youhave multiplied the issue for the following year,” hesaid.

Kordbacheh suggested post-harvest treatmentswith glyphosate or paraquat chemistry, or even cut-ting with a sickle-bar mower if there are onlypatches of these problem weeds. Forcella said evenlate-season aerial application as a managementstrategy, especially if timing and equipment don’tpermit a ground application.

“One could even consider this late-season aerialapplication as both a desiccant to more quickly andevenly hasten the harvest of a soybean crop whilealso getting weed control,” he said.

Kordbacheh, too, is concerned that the rapidexpansion of “broad spectrum” specific herbicides isin fact changing the diversity of weed populations.Her point being that farmers need to routinelyrotate the usage of different herbicides, both pre-and post-, to minimize the risk of resistance to agiven product.

So as farmers adopt more technologies, especiallywhen it comes to weed control strategies, are weedsbecoming less an issue?

“Just the opposite,” Forcella said. “Always remem-ber that Mother Nature continually alters the land-scape, especially when it comes to new resistance tochemical products. We see this happening aroundthe world.

Global challenge“At the recent Weed Science Society of America

annual meeting which is basically an internationalevent attracting scientists from many countries,hundreds of presentations were made and about halfthe presentations were solely dealing with herbicideresistance. Argentina, which is now heavily intoGMO crop production, has issues with resistantweeds. Australia, still not into GMO crop production,is probably second only to the United States in termsof resistant weed issues.

“The challenge with Aussie farmers is that theygrow wheat year after year on the same fields (plussome canola) and continue using the same suite ofherbicides somewhat analogous to our farmers usingRoundup herbicide on corn and soybeans.”

Is the rush to minimumtillage even intensifyingthe resistant weed issue?

Forcella said that a“broad arsenal” of weedcontrol technologies needsto be considered, and thatincludes tillage. “I knowmany farmers have elimi-nated much of their previ-ous tillage and from ourperspective that is good,”he said. “Basically when

we till the soils we are hurting the soils, yet if youhave an infestation, for example of Roundup resist-ant water hemp (plus some of the ALS inhibitingherbicides), then you don’t have an option other thantillage.”

He talked of the growing usage of cover crops as aneffective strategy for inhibiting or suppressingspring germinating weeds, often getting up to 90percent control simply by using a cover crop. Forcellasaid most of the work at the Morris USDA Soils Cen-ter has been with winter rye which he reported asbeing extremely effective.

“The negative is that we can’t plant the soybeanfollowing winter rye until mid-June because of wait-ing for the winter rye to reach the flowering stage.That knocks back soybean yield about 30 percent onaverage.”

He also said the station works with some winter oilseeds such as winter canola, winter camellia andpenny cress, all of which are relatively new wintercrops. Planted in late-September, even early October,these crops cover the soil by late-November, thenbecome dormant but resume growth in early springor as soon as the snow disappears.

“They’ll flower sometimes as early as late-Aprilwhich then permits a seed harvest in late-June.Then we can plant a short season soybean and wehave very few weeds in those systems,” Forcella said.He’s cautious about a blanket recommendation andsaid the station continues to study different strate-gies on the effective use of these winter oil seedcrops, even including aerial seeding and then lightlyincorporating.

With eight years of additional education ahead ofher, Owatonna, Minn., native Mallory Davidson, age18 and the 2013 Minnesota FFA Star Farmer, contin-ues to be “pumped up” about her early successes in life.This fall she enrolls at the University of Wisconsin,River Falls, with her next stop being the College ofVeterinary Medicine at the University of Minnesota.

Even though dogs, especially golden retrievers,have been a big part of her life the past eight yearsshe will be pursuing a vet medicine degree in largeanimal practice. “I find large animals more interest-ing.” But her first animal love was a goldenretriever purchased from a neighbor when she was10 years old. However two years later the dog diedbecause of lymphoma, which prompted Davidson topurchase another golden. In the process of trainingand showing her second dog, she decided to do sometraining and boarding of other people’s dogs.

A course in small animal care by her ag and FFAinstructor Liz Tinaglia was perhaps the spark thatignited her intense interest in dog care. Two otherag courses, Principles of Ag Science and Ag Leader-ship, provided additional building blocks.

During her high school career she has helpedmore than 100 puppies; and bred, trained andraised eight golden retrievers plus a border collieand an Irish wolfhound. She also has clients bring-ing their dogs for either boarding or training. She’sgotten just a bit into the pedigree business, too.

“I only raise about one litter per year. My goldenproduces between nine to 13 puppies each birth so Ialways have a few pups for sale,” Davidson said.

Minnesota Farmers Union congratulates Alexis LeeStrong, daughter of Pete and Jennifer Nelson of SaukCentre, for winning the Minnesota Farmers Union’sFFA essay contest. Strong was awarded $1,000 forthe Sauk Centre Area FFA Chapter, and a trip toWashington, D.C., when the MFU goes on theirannual fly-in in September. A parent or her adviserwill be accompanying her to Washington, D.C.

The MFU asked Minnesota FFA students to write a500 to 750 word essay in response to this question,“How can farmers and rural communities worktoward implementing a national food security policyto combat hunger on a regional and national level?”

Strong wrote in her essay, “the concept of food secu-rity is fundamentally important, and for that reason,agriculture is important. The task of growing crops,raising livestock and feeding citizens has been a firstpriority for farmers for many years. I believe thatpushing for a farm bill, country of origin, immigrationbill and community gardens are all terrific ways ofimplementing national food security.” ❖

Sauk Centre studentwins essay contest

STAR FARMER, from pg. 14Her puppies sell all over the UnitedStates. Even though the German shep-herd is her favorite breed, she loves thegolden retriever because they are suchgreat family dogs. “Everybody loves agolden and their happy smile. Their tailsare always wagging and people, especiallykids, just love being around a golden.”

Clients in her dog boarding businessare diversified. Summer is the busiestbecause vacation-bound families needa “temp home” for their pooch. Oneclient leaves her dog with Davidson forabout four months each winter whilethey vacation in Florida. She has acurrent boarder because the dog’sowner is in China for the summer.

Davidson handles dogs of all ages,and any breed. There are no tearswhen she says goodbye to one of herdogs. “I do all thework with thesepups until they areready to leave at fiveto eight weeks whenthey are ready to goon their own way.”

The biggest chal-lenge in the dogbusiness? “Sanita-tion is key becauseparasites arealways an issue.Because people often are carriers ofsome of these parasites I have themwash their hands before handling anypuppies. Also I don’t like people han-dling my puppies until the pups havehad their vaccines. People don’t under-stand these issues so I have toexplain,” Davidson said.

She’d like to practice vet medicine insouthern Minnesota where therewould be some beef farms. Previousexperiences are the influence. Sheused to show beef in her 4-H projectwork. She also had a border colliewhich always helped in her beef ani-mal showing and training.

What did ag and particularly FFAteach this Star Farmer? “Probablymost important it’s helped me to bemore outgoing. It helps me speak to myclients. It’s helped me become a betterleader. My ag classes, my ag instruc-tors and my FFA experiences havehelped me prepare for a successfullife.” Davidson served as OwatonnaFFA treasurer and sentinel.Ag instruction

Liz Tinaglia, 18 years as an ag edu-cation instructor at Owatonna, lovesthe community and hopes to eventu-ally retire from the district. She origi-nally came from Nebraska — she’s an

ag ed graduate fromthe University ofNebraska — whereher Dad and brothersare still farming.

Why teach? “It’s thekids,” was her instantresponse. “I love towatch them grow. Theycome into my classroomand FFA as ninth graders. They’re full ofenthusiasm and ideas. You give themsome information, some knowledge, someskill and you just see them blossom intogreat leaders. It’s very rewarding.”

She sees a growing and healthyfuture for high school ag programssimply because so many non-farm stu-dents are beginning to see job opportu-nities in an agriculture that is con-stantly expanding. “Our ag classes

here at Owatonnaare growing virtu-ally every year.We’re at around 300students throughour ag classroomright now and thediversity keepsexpanding.

“We’re offeringclasses in agmechanics, naturalresources, wildlife

management, greenhouse culture,small animal husbandry, ag leadershipand more. So it seems we have someappeal to virtually any Owatonna stu-dent when they become ninth graders,”Tinaglia said. As is happening every-where, few of those 300-plus studentsare traditional farm youth.

But the impacts are relevant, some-times almost immediate. She told ofparents who said their son had no ideaof what he wanted to do after highschool. “But now that’s he’s taking mygreenhouse class, the greenhouse busi-ness is now his business choice afterhigh school. We (her teaching partneris Ben Larson) definitely focus on vari-ous career opportunities for the kids.And as we know, those opportunitieskeep expanding in this wonderfulworld of agriculture.”

Teaching ag doesn’t end when thelast class of the day is over. “We oftenhave shop work, special FFA activitiesafter school and often those activitiesextend our day ’til 9 p.m. But we do it’cause we love it,” Tinaglia said. Dur-ing the summer she and Larson aredoing Supervised Ag Experiences vis-its to their students throughout thedistrict, be that a summer businessjob, their farms, or their homes.

What were the spe-cial attributes of herclassroom student whobecame Minnesota’sFFA Star Farmer?

Tinaglia said ofDavidson, “she hadtremendous recordsstarting her freshmanyear. She was already

dedicated and committed to her projectprogram starting her ninth grade year.Same thing 10th grade year; samething 11th grade year. Her records andconcentration on completeness weremost unusual. She started with dogsand rabbits. Then she added goats andbeef animals. She’s got three-ringbinders three-inches thick just full ofdetail and education. She’s just a greatbusiness person. That’s why she washonored as Star Farmer.”

Davidson, daughter of Sam andMelanie, converted part of her father’sbarn into her dog kennel, installingnine inside kennels with outside runaccess for each. She also built an insu-lated warm room inside the barn.

A special bonus to Tinaglia and Lar-son, Davidson’s success has been a pos-itive impact on fellow students in theOwatonna ag program. “She’s a great

role model,” Tinaglia said.Ben Larson, a four-year ag educa-

tion teacher, credits his own agteacher as the key person in gettinghim into ag education. “I was his stu-dent. It seemed he was having somuch fun in our classrooms so Ithought I would do the same. Andhere I am. And it is fun.”

He said that since Davidson won theStar Farmer award, quite a few of theOwatonna students are now “steppingup to the plate” and pushing them-selves hoping they might attain such anaward in the future. He too indicatedtheir diverse course instruction stemspartly from what the students want.

“Communicating with the kids is abig part; just asking them whatclasses they’d like to be in is often theidea of Liz and I to introduce a totallynew program,” Larson said.

Because production agriculture isbig in the Owatonna area, Larson andTinaglia always put a special handleon the science of farming. “Kids loveinnovation. They know that new ideasare big in farming so even if theydon’t have a future opportunity infarming, they’re learning that agbusiness is rapidly becoming a hugebusiness in America,” Larson said. ❖

Grain AnglesKeep your eye on

the big pictureOver the last 30 days I have been busy traveling

across the United States. Needless to say, there is afair amount of variation in crop conditions. In Min-nesota alone there is a wide disparity between cropconditions across the state.

On June 13-14, I was in NorthCarolina and the corn was tassel-ing and looked very good. In addi-tion, they were starting to har-vest winter wheat. The livestockproducers in that area are buyingwheat at about $6.40 a bushel or$0.60 a bushel less than the cur-rent price of corn in southernMinnesota. This year will be thefirst time in my career where I’veexperienced grain prices that arecheaper in the southeast UnitedStates than in the Midwest.

All grain producers in the Mid-west should be aware of more than just crop condi-tions in their region. It is important to understandthat, although crops currently don’t look good here,in other parts of the world that might not be the case.The U.S. Department of Agriculture and Informa arestill saying we could have a carryout of 1.8 billion to2.0 billion bushels of corn which could put corn underthe $5 per bushel range.

A year ago in June the crops looked great all acrossthe United States and then we experienced a droughtwhich caused a tight supply situation. This just goesto show that you never know how Mother Nature isgoing to have an impact on supply.

The million-dollar question today might be, “howmuch old crop is left to sell?” Users of corn are all

Grain OutlookCorn under $5;

first since Jan. ’11The following market analysis is for the week end-

ing July 5.CORN — December 2013 corn slid beneath $5 this

week for the first time since January 2011.Improving weather in the wake of a bearish

planted acreage report on June28 sent prices lower early in theholiday-shortened week. The lowin December corn this week was$4.91 per bushel, before settlingat $4.91 1/4 which was down 193/4 cents for the week. This isthe first close under $5 for anearby December contract sinceOctober 2010.

The September contract fol-lowed the same suit as December,but the inverse between the twohas declined. September is usu-ally considered a new crop monthsince any deliveries against it come too late to allevi-ate any tightness going into a new crop year. Thisyear I would expect high volatility due to the lateplanting and calamity that would result if any reli-able source indicates an early frost.

September corn was down 21 1/2 cents for the weekat $5.25 3/4 per bushel.

Weather is king and forecasts through the first halfof July look favorable for crop development. Cornconditions improved 2 percent to 67 percentgood/excellent as of June 30 and are expected toshow further improvement on subsequent reports.Corn was 3 percent silked as of June 30 when theaverage pace is 9 percent.

Weekly ethanol production was 28,000 barrels

Livestock AnglesWill livestock

trends continue?The livestock markets have been steady to higher

through June.Cattle have been mostly steady while the hog mar-

ket has continued to advance to higher levels. Willthese trends continue through the remainder of thesummer?

The cash cattle market hasbeen steady over the last fewweeks of June while the cattlefutures have moved from a dis-count to cash to a premium. Thischange in the basis seems tohave stemmed from short cover-ing in the futures market fromcommodity fund short covering.During this time the beef cutoutprices have continued to slide tounder $200 per hundredweightbasis choice and the boxed beefmovement has remained slug-gish at best.

This continues to reflect a major demand problemfor beef and is likely to continue until lower beefcutouts are obtained. With market-ready cattleexpanding over the next several months, the suppliesof cattle and beef should not likely be a problem. Thisshould put the packer in an advantageous position asfar as accumulating inventory.

Because of the weakening fundamentals, primarilythe softer demand for beef, the cattle market is likelyto be on the defensive in the near term. This isdespite the fact that many analysts are looking for aseasonal low in the cattle market at this time. Thiswould suggest that rallies are likely to be short-liveduntil economic conditions improve or the demand for

NYSTROM, from pg. 16lower this week at 863,000barrels per day and stocksdropped to 3 1/2 year lows. Corn basislevels for nearby shipments weresteady to higher as plants try andsource bushels with profitable crush-ing margins.

Weekly export sales announced afterthe Fourth of July holiday were in linewith expectations at 9.2 millionbushels. New crop sales were 3.2 mil-lion bushels. Although no specificannouncements were made, tradechatter hinted that China had boughtthree cargoes of new crop U.S. cornduring the week. The U.S. Departmentof Agriculture announced 120,000 met-ric tons of new crop corn was sold to“unknown” during the week. Chinawas a buyer of 480,000 mt of U.S. softred winter wheat this week, as well asbuying wheat from Australia andCanada. South Korea bought 124,000mt of November shipment corn duringthe week from the Black Sea regionand Brazil at a 51-cent-per-bushel dis-count to U.S. corn for the same ship-ment time.

Informa Economics updated theirbalance sheets, pegging corn yield at160 bushels per acre, 3 1/2 bushelshigher than the USDA’s current esti-mate; harvested acres at 89.135 mil-lion brings production to 14.259 billionbushels. The USDA’s latest numberwas 14.005 billion bushels. Informa’snumbers imply a 2 billion bushel orlarger carryover.

The July monthly crop report fromthe USDA will be published on July

11. Looking ahead,barring any unusualoccurrences, it may

be time to consider making a few 2014sales.

OUTLOOK: The July contract willexpire July 12, just a day after theUSDA’s monthly crop report. Willthe September contractstep up and movetoward where the Julyleaves off? TheDecember-to-Marchspread began torecognize thechange in cropprospects, widen-ing to a 12-centcarry.

If we have a nor-mal year from here, Iwould anticipate thatcarry widening further.The weather forecast is non-threatening and the crop is improving,which is enough to limit any short-term rallies. Unless somethingchanges, any rally will be viewed as aselling opportunity.

During June, nearby corn gained 171/4 cents or 2.6 percent of value.

SOYBEANS — August beans easedhigher throughout the week with noth-ing moving in the country. July futuresexpire July 12; will the August con-tract pick up where July leaves off?Basis has improved to try and enticeadditional selling, but largely to noavail. Strikes and port delays in SouthAmerica have hampered large ship-ments of beans or meal into the South-

east.A general port strike in Brazil is

scheduled to begin July 10 which mayadd to the delays for an unknownamount of time. Soybean conditionsimproved 2 percent to 67 percentgood/excellent on the June 30 report

and should continue to showimprovement with recent

weather conditions. TheUSDA reported that 10

percent of bean acres aredouble crop this year.

Informa left theirsoybean yieldunchanged at 43.9bu./acre, slightlylower than theUSDA’s forecast of

44.5 bu./acre. Theirproduction projection

at 3.376 billion bushelsis close to the USDA’s 3.39

billion bushel number whenusing Informa’s new 76.918 millionharvested acre forecast.

Weekly export sales were at 4.4 mil-lion bushels for old crop and 9.2 mil-lion for new crop. Meal salesrebounded this week to 116.3 millionmt for old crop and 4,200 mt for newcrop.

OUTLOOK: The July contract

expires on July 12, so we’ll see ifAugust will follow July’s lead. As fornew crop, nearly ideal growing condi-tions are in the forecast for the firsthalf of July; enough said.

This week, August soybeans were apenny higher, closing at $14.32 perbushel; November soybeans were 233/4 cents lower at $12.28 1/4 perbushel. For June, nearby beans wereup 3.6 percent or 54 1/2 cents. TheUSDA will publish the resurveyresults of 14 states with the Aug. 12crop report.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changesfor the week ending July 5: Minneapo-lis wheat was down 11 1/2 cents,Chicago gained 2 1/4 cents andKansas City fell 4 3/4 cents. Augustcrude oil jumped to its highest levelfor a lead contract since May 2012,closing $6.66 higher for the week at$103.22, ultra-low-sulfur diesel wasup 13 cents, gasoline rose 18 cents andnatural gas eked out a 5.2-centincrease. The U.S. dollar was up 1 1/4percent for week to its highest levelsince July 2010 on friendly economicreports this week.

MARKETINGBeans move higher with no country movement

TEALE, from pg. 16beef improves.

Therefore, producers are urged topay close attention to market condi-tions and protect inventories asneeded.

The hog market, on the other hand,has seen a good rally as prices havebeen on the rise all spring. The mainreason for this strength is just theopposite of the beef, which is gooddemand for pork. The pork cutout hasbeen on the rise for months and thevolume in the wholesale pork tradehas been robust. This has taken thepork cutout well over $100/cwt. whole-sale, which a yearly high.

However, the higher price for pork hasprecipitated a slowing retail demand,which could be signaling a coming top

in prices if this continues. From a sea-sonal standpoint, the high in hog pricesusually comes at this time of year andprices generally slide in to October.

According to the latest U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture Quarterly Hogsand Pigs Report, the number of hogs isapproximately the same as this time ayear ago. The interesting part of thisreport was that the hogs weighing 120and above are greater than a year ago,which would mean there is moreinventory for the packer to select fromin the next 60 days.

This increase in inventory and theslowing of demand could be the cata-lyst that confirms the seasonal top inthe hog market. It would be prudentfor producers to examine their summerand early fall inventories and protectthem if necessary. ❖

Hogs riding good demand

GREENWOOD, from pg. 16hoping there is more out there andthose who are holding on to corn arehoping to cash in. The basis dynamicsthat we will see until harvest willlikely be unprecedented. Right now, wehave basis for corn and beans that isover a dollar in southern Minnesota.The basis in play are similar to aroulette wheel — we have no ideawhere they are going to end up.

Grain marketing decisions should bebased on your current financialstrength. If you have little debt andcan afford some risk you might be OKto take a gamble. Basis could changerapidly in a short period of time so it’simportant you understand your cur-rent financial situation in case youneed to react quickly.

Recently, I’ve had several discussionsthat have focused on the potentialdownturn of the grain market. Ourcredit team shared a report withinAgStar that showed the total debt byproducers has dropped since 2008.Additionally, we’ve seen severalreports that have shown that produc-

ers have spent over $10,000 an acrefor farmland.

Most who are reading this wouldprobably agree that with higher grainprices there should be lower debt lev-els. But lower debt levels aren’t theonly factor that’s important. It’s alsoimportant to know what type of debtyou have. Is it all on real estate ormore on machinery (intermediatedebt) or do you have a fair amount ofoperating debt?

Even though long-term rates haveshown a slight increase, it’s still agood time to lock-in fixed rates onlong-term debt and to make sure thatyou have sufficient working capital(current assets less current liabilities)to withstand some adversity. Manag-ing your balance sheet is an essentialpart of risk management.

This column was written for themarketing week ending July 5.

The milk price roller coaster is aliveand well and the U.S. Department ofAgriculture’s announcement this weekof the June federal order Class IIImilk price is a case in point.

After two months of gain, the bench-

mark Class III price dropped 50 cents,to $18.02 per hundredweight, but that’sstill $2.39 above June 2012, $2.11above California’s 4b price, and equatesto about $1.55 per gallon.

Futures contracts portend anotherdecline in July before rebounding inAugust and peaking in September.

Late morning trading onJuly 5, had the July con-tract at $17.27; August,$18.05; September, $18.67;October, $18.53; November,$18.24; and December at$17.81. The 2013 Class IIIaverage now stands at$17.74, up from $15.90 atthis time a year ago, $17.06in 2011 and $13.58 in 2010.

The June Class IV milkprice is $18.88, down apenny from May and$5.64 above a year ago.Its 2013 average hit$18.17, up from $14.90 ayear ago, and compares to $19.23 in2011, and $14.02 in 2010.

The Agricultural Marketing Service-surveyed cheese price average used incalculating the June Class III pricewas $1.7810 per pound, down 4.6 centsfrom May. Butter averaged $1.5422,down 10.6 cents, nonfat dry milk aver-aged $1.6878, up a nickel, and drywhey averaged 57.39 cents/lb., downfractionally fromMay.

California’s June4b cheese milk priceis $15.91/cwt., down$1.29 from May but$1.26 above June2012. That put the2013 4b average at$16.05, up from$13.83 at this time ayear ago and com-pares to $15.67 in2011. Compare theseto the federal orderaverages and you’llunderstand why some California pro-ducers are seriously consideringbecoming part of the FO system.

California’s June 4a butter-powdermilk price is $18.39, up 15 cents fromMay but $5.22 above a year ago. The 4aaverage now stands at $17.94, up from$14.73 a year ago and compares to$18.94 in 2011.

The June 4a and 4b prices do notinclude the temporary price increasesresulting from the May 20 public hear-ing because they only become effectiveon milk delivered on or after July 1,and continue through Dec. 31.

Soaring temperatures, particularly inthe West, drove dairy product prices upthe first week of July — national IceCream Month — however those tempshad backed down some by week’s end.The 40-pound Cheddar blocks closedthat Friday at $1.6650/lb., up 2.75

cents on the Fourth of Julyholiday-shortened week buta penny below that week ayear ago.

■

The 500-pound barrelsclosed at $1.67, up 7.25 centson the week and a half-centbelow a year ago. Thirteencarloads of block and 15 ofbarrel traded hands on theweek. The lagging behind

AMS-surveyed U.S. aver-age block price inched0.4 cent lower, to

$1.7466, while the bar-rels averaged $1.7830, down 1.3 cents.

Record cheese stocks are/were weigh-ing on spot sales as buyers feel that themarket must come down to instigatenew sales, according to the USDA’sDairy Market News. But, current U.S.prices are lower than internationalprices, export demand is good and salesare being assisted by the CooperativesWorking Together program.

The CWT bidacceptances thisweek totaled 16 on2.361 millionpounds of cheeseand 665,796 poundsof butter to cus-tomers in Asia, theMiddle East andNorth Africa. Theproduct will bedelivered throughDecember andraised the CWT’s2013 cheese exportsto 66.923 millionpounds, plus 52.393

million pounds of butter, 44,092 poundsof anhydrous milkfat and 218,258pounds of whole milk powder to 32countries.

The June 28 DMN reported thatcheese production was slowing as peakmilk volumes are past in many parts ofthe country and some plants havemade the decision to slow manufactur-ing. Warmer weather across the coun-try, but particularly the West, wasexpected to further hinder milk sup-plies. My thermometer hit 94 F the lastday of June and I’m 100 miles north ofSeattle, but the temps were consider-ably cooler by the Fourth.

Even cash butter took a turn for thegood, reversing almost 12 cents inlosses the previous three weeks, closingat $1.5250, up 9.75 cents on the week

MIELKE, from pg. 18but three quarters below a year ago.Eighteen cars sold on the week as icecream sales drew cream away from thechurn. AMS butter averaged $1.5109,down 3.9 cents.

But, the Grade AA butter market isweak, according to participants in theJune 28 DMN. Stocks are growing steadilyfrom month to month and that was evident in thelast Cold Storage report showing stocks at 323.2 mil-lion pounds, the highest level of stored butter onrecord since January 1993, according to NationalAgricultural Statistics Service data.

Butter sales into some retail accounts perked upwith the recent drop in Grade AA prices. Variousmanufacturers report that while intermediate buy-ers are still hesitant to take positions, retailers rec-ognize the current pricing offers opportunities to fillnear-term consumer needs.

Cash Grade A and Extra Grade nonfat dry milkclosed a penny higher on the week, at $1.74 and$1.71 respectively. AMS-powder averaged $1.6977,also up a penny, and dry whey averaged 57.12 cents,down 1.1 cent.

Looking in the rear view mirror, this week’s DairyProducts report shows May butter production at 167million pounds, down 0.2 percent from April but 1.5percent above May 2012. Nonfat dry milk output, at167 million pounds, was up 4.6 percent from Aprilbut 13.4 percent below a year ago.

■

The Daily Dairy Report said that manufacturersare responding to export demands and increased pro-duction of skim milk powder in May to a record-large54.6 million pounds. Combined nonfat dry milk andSMP production totaled 222.1 million pounds, up 6.7percent from a year ago and 7.5 percent higher thanin April on a daily average basis. The DDR said man-ufacturers may have shifted some NDM capacityinto SMP.

The USDA also revised its estimate of manufactur-ers stocks of NDM at the end of April from 193.1 mil-lion pounds to 207.6 million. This, coupled withstrong production, put May ending stocks at 226.7million pounds, 5.2 percent higher than year-ago lev-els despite record large NDM exports, the DDR said.

American-type cheese totaled 389 million pounds,up 3.3 percent from April and 5.9 percent above ayear ago. Italian-type, at 402 million pounds, was up1.1 percent from April and 2.7 percent above a yearago. Total cheese out of the vat in May amounted to954 million pounds, up 2.6 percent from April and up3.9 percent from May 2012.

Milk production remains heavy in the Northeastwith some balancing plants operating at near capac-ity levels, according to the DMN’s weekly productionupdate. Other areas were seeing production declinesto varying degrees, due to weather stress. Compo-nent levels are also declining, at variable rates,across the nation. Florida, Arizona and Californiawere experiencing the most significant declines inmilk production due to the heat. Cream markets areimproving as ice cream manufacturers take addi-

tional loads. Churn operators, in mostregions, were developing alternative cream usageplans for the Fourth of July holiday week.

■

The USDA’s latest Crop Acreage and Grain Stocksreports shows that a cool, wet spring may haveslowed the planting pace, but didn’t hamper theplanted area, according to the DairyBusinessUpdate. Corn and soybean acreage estimates wereup slightly from March “Prospective Plantings” esti-mates. Corn planted area for all purposes in 2013 isestimated at 97.4 million acres, up slightly from lastyear, and the highest planted acreage in the UnitedStates since 1936. Growers expect to harvest 89.1million acres for grain, up 2 percent from last year.

Soybean planted area was estimated at a record77.7 million acres, up 1 percent from last year.Planted area increased in 18 out of 31 soybean-pro-ducing states. Area for harvest, at 76.9 million acres,is up 1 percent from 2012 and will be a record, ifrealized.

The numbers aren’t so favorable when it comes tograin stocks, according to the DBU. June 1 cornstocks in all positions totaled 2.76 billion bushels,down 12 percent from a year earlier. The March-May2013 indicated disappearance is 2.64 billion bushels,compared with 2.88 billion during the same periodlast year.

Soybeans stored in all positions on June 1 totaled435 million bushels, down 35 percent from a yearearlier. Indicated disappearance for the March-Mayquarter totaled 564 million bushels, down 20 percentfrom a year ago, according to the DBU.

■

The total hay acreage is slightly higher than theMarch USDA “Prospective Plantings” report sug-gested. U.S. hay producers intend to harvest 56.6 mil-lion acres of all hay in 2013, up slightly from 2012.Expected harvested area of alfalfa and alfalfa mix-tures, at 17.7 million acres, is up 2 percent from 2012.

Harvested area of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures isexpected to decline throughout much of the GreatPlains and Rocky Mountains due to unfavorably hot,dry conditions throughout much of the spring andinto summer. A significant acreage reduction isexpected in Colorado.

Expected area for all other types of hay totals 39.0million acres, down fractionally from 2012. Acreage isexpected to increase in states situated from the north-ern Rocky Mountains to the Great Lakes, as timelyspring rainfall boosted hay field and pasture growth.Additionally, several states had a large amount ofacreage come out of the Conservation Reserve Program.

■

Prices continued to move incremen-tally higher at this week’s GlobalDairy Trade auction, according to theDaily Dairy Report. The trade-weighted index increased 0.7 percent.All product prices moved higherexcept butter and Cheddar cheese,

which fell by 5.7 and 3.7 percent,respectively, but still remain athistorically high price levels, the

DDR said. Skim milk powder posted a 3.1 percentincrease in the weighted index price, while wholemilk powder settled just 0.1 percent higher.

U.S.-produced unsalted, sweet cream butter wasoffered by California-based Dairy America for the firsttime but only in the August contract period. The con-tract settled at $1.65/lb., according to the DDR.

■

In dairy politics, the DBU reports that more than30 dairy organizations joined about 500 other agri-cultural groups in sending a letter to HouseSpeaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, urging him to bringa farm bill back to the House floor as soon as possi-ble. Noting that the current extension of the 2008farm bill expires on Sept. 30, the organizations alsourged Boehner not to split farm and food/nutritionprograms into separate bills.

After nearly two years ofdiscussions and debate, anew farm bill appeared abit closer to being enactedinto law. However, on June20, the U.S. House of Rep-resentatives voted downthe new farm bill by a voteof 195-234.

Several weeks ago, thenew farm bill was passedby the U.S. House agricul-ture committee, withstrong bipartisansupport. RankingDemocrat on the U.S.House ag committee,Minnesota Seventh District Congressman CollinPeterson, maintained his support for the new farmbill, as did fellow-ag committee member MinnesotaFirst District Congressman Tim Walz (D); however,Minnesota Eighth District Congressman Rick Nolan(D), also on the ag committee, opposed the new farmbill. Minnesota’s Congressional delegation was split4-4 on the vote.

The U.S. Senate passed their version of a newfarm bill in mid-June by a wide margin, with strongbipartisan support. The Senate version of the legis-lation is somewhat different than the versiondefeated by the U.S. House, with the primary differ-ences in funding for the food and nutrition pro-grams (SNAP).

In 2012, the U.S. Senate also passed legislation fora new farm bill, as did the U.S. House agriculturecommittee; however, the legislation was never

brought before the entire U.S. House for considera-tion. As a result, the previous 2008 farm bill, whichexpired in 2012, was extended for one more yearthrough Sept. 30, which is the current expirationdate.

When most people hear of a “farm bill,” they thinkof the commodity programs and payments that affectcrop producers. Some people may be aware that cropinsurance and conservation programs are includedunder the farm bill, and some know that food stampsare part of the farm bill legislation. However, fewpeople outside of government officials and policyexperts are aware that the farm bill also covers fund-ing for rural fire trucks and ambulances, export pro-motion, international food aid, forestry programs, agresearch at land grant universities and school lunchprograms in public schools.

Actually, the last farm bill passed in 2008 had 15different titles in the legislation that covered a mul-titude of programs administered by the U.S. Depart-

ment of Agriculture, which affect many aspects of theU.S. lifestyle.

Each new farm bill has a name, which can say a lotabout the current “hot issues” in Washington, D.C.Many early farm bills had the phrase “food security”in their title, reflecting a concern for adequate andsafe food supply in the United States. The currentfarm bill is the “Food, Conservation and Energy Actof 2008,” with an obvious focus on conservationmeasures and renewable energy. There were 37 dif-ferent conservation programs, as well as a newenergy title, in the last farm bill. The current title ofthe U.S. Senate version of the new farm bill is the“Agriculture Reform, Food and Jobs Act of 2013,”while the U.S. House version is the “Federal Agricul-tural Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013.”Notice the word “reform” in both versions of the newfarm bill.

Farm bills date back to the Great Depression of the1930s, and new farm bills are usually written everyfive years, with the last farm bill being written in2008, to cover federal fiscal years from 2008-12. Thecurrent farm bill extension allowed funding for manyprograms to continue in 2013. The current proposalsfor a new farm bill that have been considered in Con-gress are expected to cost $95 billion to $100 billionper year for the next 10 years. Some common ques-tions are “Why is the farm bill so costly?” and “Whyis the farm bill subsidizing farmers so much?”

Much of the focus on the new farm bill debate inCongress has centered on the Supplemental Nutri-tion Assistance Program, which includes the foodstamp program, the women, infants and childrenprogram and the school lunch program. Food stampswere added to the farm bill legislation severaldecades ago, mainly because the food stamp programis administered through the USDA. About 80 percentof the proposed funding for the new farm bill will goto the SNAP-related programs. The financial needsin the SNAP have more than doubled since 2008, due

PROGRAMS, from pg. 20to the economic downturn in theUnited States, higher food costs and aneasing in eligibility requirements forfood stamps.

One of the biggest differences in theU.S. Senate and U.S. House versions ofthe new farm bill is in the proposedfuture funding for SNAP. This was alsoone of the main roadblocks to passing anew farm bill in the U.S. House. Thenew farm bill passed by the U.S. Senatewould cut the spending on SNAP byabout $400 million per year (0.5 per-cent), or $4 billion over 10 years; whilethe U.S. House proposal would cutSNAP funding by about $2 billion peryear (3.0 percent), or approximately$20 billion over 10 years.

Interestingly, some U.S. House mem-bers opposed the new farm bill becausethey thought the cuts to SNAP fundingwent too far, while other members wereopposed because they wanted evendeeper cuts to future SNAP budget out-lays. There are also some differences inhow various states administer some ofthe SNAP, which were proposed to beadjusted by some of the proposed provi-sions for the new farm bill in the U.S.House.

About 15 percent of the funding inthe new farm bill is designated forfarm commodity programs and cropinsurance programs. The farm bill pro-posals in both the U.S. Senate and U.S.House would eliminate future directpayments to crop producers, whichhave been available for many farmcrops each year since the late-1990s.Eliminating direct payments will saveabout $5 billion per year in federalspending, some of which will be redi-rected to crop insurance and other com-modity programs.

The direct payments, as well as thecurrent Average Crop Revenue andpermanent disaster (SURE) programs,

are proposed to bereplaced by a new croprisk management pro-gram in both versions of a new farmbill. Farmers will continue to have pay-ment limits for these program pay-ments, and will likely have maximumadjusted gross income levels to main-tain payment eligibility. Producers willalso likely have an updated targetprice option in the new farm bill, aswell as revised dairy and sugar supportprograms as part of the commoditytitle in a farm bill.

The federal crop insurance programhas been proposed to remain largelyintact with the new farm bill, withsome minor adjustments and possibleenhancements; however, there wereseveral amendments offered to makechanges in the crop insurance program.Many crop producers rely on revenue-protection crop insurance as the pri-mary risk management tool for thelarge investment that they have in cropproduction each year. The importanceof crop insurance has been quite evi-dent in the past two years, with thesevere drought in many parts of theUnited States in 2012, and the late andprevented corn and soybean plantingin parts of the Midwest in 2013.

Crop insurance programs have comeunder some criticism in recent months,due to the large federal cost for the pro-gram and some eligibility require-ments. The federal government subsi-dizes about 62 percent of the annualcost of crop insurance premiums to pro-ducers, with the farmer paying the bal-ance. The government also subsidizeslarge crop insurance losses, such aswith the 2012 drought. Some wouldlike to see the crop insurance subsidyreduced or eliminated, while otherswould like it eliminated for highincome farmers, or see limits placed oncrop insurance benefits that a producercan receive. Another proposal has been

to eliminate the harvestprice option from rev-enue protection crop

insurance coverage, which wouldgreatly diminish the amount of insur-ance coverage in a drought year suchas 2012, and would increase the finan-cial risk to farmers.

One part of the federal subsidizationof crop insurance that is rarely dis-cussed is the fact that in years whenthe money received on premiumsexceeds the insurance indemnity pay-ments in a given crop year, the extramoney goes back into the federal treas-ury. For many Midwestern crop produc-ers, the 2012 drought was the first timethat they have received a significantcrop insurance payment in decades,

even though they have paid cropinsurance premiums every year. Elim-ination of the federal crop insurancepremium subsidy could make cropinsurance quite expensive for someproducers, which could add consider-able financial risk to their operations.This could make it difficult for somefarmers, especially newer farmerswith limited equity, to get adequatefinancing for their operations.

With approximately 80 percent ofproposed farm bill funding going toSNAP, and about 15 percent of thefunding going to crop insurance andcommodity programs, that leaves onlyabout 5 percent of the spending for all

On June 20, the U.S. House of Representativeskilled the farm bill on a vote of 234-195. Farmgroups have encouraged Congress to re-address thefarm bill, and as we go to press the House Republi-can leadership is discussing it.

In the wake of the June 20 demise, the ag Twit-ter, Facebook and e-mail world was alive withresponses.

Here’s just a sampling of the reactions.Minnesota Farmers Union

“Minnesota Farmers Union is disappointed thatthe House failed family farmers and consumers bynot passing a farm bill,” said Doug Peterson, Min-nesota Farmers Union president. “I would like tothank Rep. Collin Peterson, John Kline, Tim Walzand Erik Paulsen for their support of rural Min-nesota and the consumers our hard-working familyfarmers feed.

“The MFU will continue to work hard for theinterests of family farmers and push for the neces-sary changes in the legislation to get this farm billpassed in the House.”

The U.S. Senate passed their version of the farmbill on June 10, both Sens. Amy Klobuchar and AlFranken supported the legislation. Extensions tosome farm bill provisions were made at the end of2012, which expire Sept. 30.Minnesota Farm Bureau

“It was very disappointing to see a fiscallyresponsible, bipartisan farm bill fail on the floor ofthe House of Representatives,” said MinnesotaFarm Bureau Federation President Kevin Paap.

“Agriculture knows how to do their chores andthat they need to get done. This is no exception.Minnesota farmers need the certainty that comeswith a five-year bill, and we will continue to work

to make sure that this gets brought back up in orderthat we have legislation signed into law by the timethe current farm bill expires in September.

“We were thankful for Ranking Member CollinPeterson’s leadership and dedication to workingtoward passage of a long-term farm bill. MinnesotaReps. Tim Walz, John Kline and Erik Paulsen joinedCongressman Peterson in taking a stand for Min-nesota farmers by voting in favor of the bill.

“While we would have liked to see support fromthe full Minnesota delegation, we look forward tomoving forward together in finding a solution.”U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary TomVilsack

“The failure by the House leadership, for the sec-ond year in a row, to reach consensus on a food,farm and jobs bill is a tremendous disappointmentfor all Americans. Twice now, the U.S. Senate hasdone its job and passed balanced, comprehensivelegislation with overwhelming bipartisan support.

“Unfortunately, the House version of this billwould have unfairly denied food assistance for mil-lions of struggling families and their children, whilefailing to achieve needed reforms or critical invest-ments to continue economic growth in rural Amer-ica. As a result, the House was unable to achievebipartisan consensus.”

PROGRAMS, from pg. 21the other USDA programs includedin the farm bill. This would includethe Conservation Reserve Program, and other con-servation, wetland, grassland, forestry and environ-mental programs, as well as rural development,trade promotion and ag research funding. The fund-ing for some of these USDA programs is currently“on hold,” waiting for the completion of a new farmbill.

Current farm bill proposals would reduce the maxi-mum CRP acreage from 32 million acres to 25 mil-lion acres. There are currently about 27 million acresenrolled in CRP. The new farm bill would also consol-idate some of the existing 37 conservation programsbeing administered by the USDA.Next steps for a new farm bill

Since the defeat of the farm bill in the U.S. House,some members of Congress are now calling for thefarm bill to be separated into two separate pieces of

legislation, one piece dealing withagricultural issues and programs, andthe other piece dealing with food and

nutrition programs. While that may sound attractiveto some, veteran farm bill observers from both politi-cal parties caution against going that route. Theyfeel that legislation for both parts of the farm billwould become even more partisan and divided, andthat it would become even more difficult to pass afarm bill. The biggest loser of this approach may bethe small to mid-sized farm operations that rely on a“safety-net” program as a risk management tool fortheir operation.

Passage of a new farm bill is complex, with pro-grams ranging from farm commodities, to food andnutrition, to conservation and forestry programs, andmany more. Many times finalizing a farm bill in Con-gress can be quite controversial, and not necessarilyby political party lines. The various farm bill pro-grams become quite geographical, with members ofCongress wanting to protect the farm, food, conserva-tion and economic interests of their state or congres-sional district. The large federal budget deficit inrecent years has added a new element to passage ofa large farm bill, as has the growing number ofactivist groups that want to see deeper cuts to farmprogram supports and crop insurance premium sub-sidies.The members of Congress, especially in the U.S.House, must now re-group to find a workable com-promise for a new farm bill that affects the future ofthe nation’s farmers and other citizens affected byUSDA programs. If a compromise agreement isreached, and passes the U.S. House, the differencesin the House and Senate versions of the new farmbill would need to be worked out in conference com-mittee. Once completed, the legislation would have togo back to both the U.S. Senate and U.S. House forfinal approval, which may be difficult. Finally, thenew farm bill would need to be signed into law byPresident Obama. If this does not occur by the end of2013, there is a possibility that there could beanother one-year farm bill extension for 2014.

The Land Stewardship Project“In what can only be interpreted as a

slap in the face of U.S. House leader-ship, this failure typifies how dysfunc-tional this body of Congress hasbecome, with the majority unable topass legislation they claim is one oftheir priorities.

“The failed legislation containedexcessive cuts to conservation pro-grams and nutrition resources, andlacked the establishment of any limitson federally subsidized crop insurance(the latter program is already far andaway the most costly farm-orientedprogram and is growing in size by theyear and in proposed farm bills).

“The negative vote on this bill is aclear signal that House leadershipneeds to do a hard examination of whatit takes to advance a bill that is basedon good public policy.

“Having no five-year farm bill inplace leaves our nation’s farmers withuncertainty while shutting down publicpolicy opportunities to invest in newfarmers, engender rural developmentand secure conservation on the land.

“The Land Stewardship Projectimplores the U.S. House to recalibrateand refocus the disproportionate deepcuts in this failed bill and find a morereasonable approach that attracts thekind of bipartisan support needed forfinal passage. This must be done inearnest so a final farm bill is passedand signed by the president this fiscalyear — Sept. 30, 2013.”Dairy Farmers of AmericaJohn Wilson, senior vice president

“Despite the agriculture community’sbest effort, with a vote of 195-234 theU.S. House of Representatives failed topass a farm bill today.

“Earlier in the day, the Goodlatte-Scott amendment stripped the DairyMarket Stabilization Program from theunderlying bill.

“Regardless of the loss on Goodlatte-Scott, Dairy Farmers of Americaremained supportive of final passage ofthe farm bill to keep the momentumgoing on a bill that is vital to so manyaspects of the American agriculturesector. Farm families across the nationrely on the provisions in the farm bill,and that they will continue to operateunder outdated and inadequate policiesis truly disappointing.

“DFA members joined farmers acrossthe nation in voicing their support ofthis farm bill, and their engagementwas instrumental in securing neededdairy policy reform in the version of the

bill brought to the floor.“Although today has

been disappointing, thedairy industry has shown its resiliencyin the past, and continued optimismand action is the only option as we lookto the future.

“We express sincere thanks to all whomade calls, attended meetings and sentimportant e-mails to their legislators.This participation is imperative as welook to the future and make dairy pol-icy reform a reality.

“The dairy industry has many advo-cates on Capitol Hill and we owe ourappreciation to those in Congress whosupported our efforts. I am confidentthat this support will not falter as wecontinue our pursuit of meaningfuldairy policy reform.”The National Grange

“The House did the American peoplea true injustice today,” NationalGrange President Ed Luttrell said.

The Grange, America’s oldest agricul-ture and rural advocacy group, hasbeen a significant supporter of the billthat Luttrell said would have offeredstability to one of the nation’s leadingindustries.

“Last year’s extension of the farm billwas extremely disappointing to the agcommunity and the House’s failure topass the bill today just deepens thisfrustration,” Luttrell said. “The farmbill isn’t just about farming and agri-culture. It’s about jobs, energy and ournation’s overall recovery in this stillstruggling economy.

“One in 12 American jobs dependupon agriculture and without thestrength and stability provided by thefarm bill, our nation’s farmers andranchers will be unable to makerational, informed decisions about thefuture.”

National Grange Legislative DirectorGrace Boatright said the failure comesmainly from proposed cuts to the 80percent of farm bill spending markedfor the Supplemental Nutrition Assis-tance Program, formerly known as foodstamps.

“Cuts to the SNAP were undoubtedlythe cause of today’s farm bill rejectionin the House, which is especially frus-trating because I believe that the Sen-ate and House bills had a lot of com-mon ground on which to build. It’sgoing to be a long and dreary road fromhere as the Washington ag communityregroups and reevaluates its work onthis issue,” Boatright said.

Boatright said the continued inability

of Congress to move for-ward on even the most

crucial measures is dis-appointing.

“Unfortunately, American agricultureand the millions of people who benefitfrom it can’t wait for Washington toresolve its issues. We needed actiontoday and I know I speak for our morethan 160,000 members when I say weare incredibly disappointed by theHouse’s failure to pass this vital piece

of legislation.”

Boatright and Luttrell agreed thatthere is public misunderstandingabout aspects of the bill, but say Con-gress should be more aware than theaverage American of the need to passlegislation that gives farmers a bettersafety net, enhances conservation, sta-bilizes and enhances safety measuresfor food and assists in the promotionof our products in foreign markets. ❖

When most people peerthrough their cameras, theyare inclined to see the bigpicture.

But when Andrew Mur-ray looks through his, likelyas not, he’s looking for thesmall details.

In keeping with a photog-rapher’s credo that creatingan interesting image is allabout sorting through thevisual chaff to find thevisual wheat, the 17-year-old, who willbe a senior at Loyola High School inMankato, Minn., this fall, has devel-oped a keen eye for creating strikingphotographs of the things most peoplewouldn’t give a second glance.

“For me, photography is all aboutbeing able to show every day things inways that other people might notnotice,” he said.

His favorite subjects are the usualstaples of nature photographers —birds, flowers, landscapes, bugs.

Bugs?“A lot of people say they don’t like

bugs,” he said. “But then they’ll see oneof my photographs of one and say ‘hey,

that’s pretty interesting.’”Murray said his interest in

photography was piqued asan eighth-grader. “I startedout with a video camera,” hesaid.

He would pull still imagesfrom the video clips andeventually became fasci-nated with the power of thestill image, how the nuancesof light, form and composi-tion came together to create

a mood or message.He swapped the video camera for an

inexpensive point-and-shoot, eventu-ally saving enough to spring for thesophisticated digital SLR he now uses.

The image-maker is mostly self-taught.

“I’ve read a lot of books about photog-raphy, found out a lot of informationabout it on the internet,” he said.

Armed with a complement of threelenses, his favorite photo huntingground is his own backyard.

“You really don’t have to travel veryfar to make good photographs,” he said.

OUTDOORS, from pg. 24“I’ve probably taken 90 percent of my photographsin our backyard.”

And as is the case with so many things, patience isa virtue when trying to capture the decisive momentwhen the elements of a photograph come together.

“I wanted to photograph a monarch butterfly com-ing out of its chrysalis ... I had to wait for five hoursbefore it finally happened,” he said.

He estimates he has taken at least 35,000 photo-graphs since he became serious about the medium.

Photography as a career? Realistically, he under-stands that freelance nature photographer can be atough way to make a living.

At 17, he figures it’s a bit too early to make thatkind of decision.

And as interested as he is in photography, heanticipates his other creative passion — music —will be the leading force when he begins to investi-gate college possibilities.

Nevertheless, he has received a measure of recog-nition for his photographs.

He has managed to sell a few.And his work has been featured on Twin Cities

Public Television’s Capture Minnesota project, amonthly photo gallery at TPT’s website featuring thework of state photographers, at www.captureminnesota.com.

Two of his photographs have been selected for Edi-tor’s Choice Awards while several others receivedhonorable mention.

So far, his photos haven’t made the cut to be included in“Capture Minnesota,” compilations of 200 photographsselected through viewers’ votes published in book form.

HHave you ever wanted toexplore Mars, or Venus, or Sat-urn, or travel through the

Milky Way? You can do that simply bydriving around the town of Cosmos.The main drive taking you downtownis Milky Way. The town’s streets arenamed for planets and the intersect-ing avenues are named for constella-tions.

Before you ever notice the streetsigns, however, you will spot thewater tower. Flying around the watertower’s blue background are planets,comets, stars, and even a space shut-tle.

All of this is part of the legacy of anearly homesteader, Daniel Hoyt.

The township originally was namedNelson, after an early pioneer. Thetownship and town were renamedCosmos at the behest of Hoyt. Hoytwas a man of big ideas, one of whichwas to establish a university in Cos-mos. According to a town history,Hoyt chose the name because cosmosis the Greek word for “uni-verse.” It also refers to orderand harmony. It was a fit-ting name for a universitytown.

The university never cameto be. Daniel Hoyt wasfrozen to death in a blizzardon Feb. 11, 1870. His grandidea died with him.

Cosmos, however, contin-ued to take inspiration fromits name.

The old water tower had ahomemade rocket placed ontop of it in 1967. When thenew tower was to be built in2008, the old rocket was inpoor shape and notreusable.

“When the condition of therocket was discovered, it putmore emphasis on imple-menting some type of space

theme on the new tower,” said KathyBlackwell, clerk-treasurer for Cos-mos.

The hydrocone shape, reminiscentof the space needle, provides an excel-lent area for the cosmos design,which Blackwell said was a combinedeffort of city staff, the general con-tractor and the company that paintedthe images.

The water tower sits in a smallpark along Highway 7. It can’t helpbut catch your eye. Rather than riskleaving this world by taking youreyes off the road, pull off into thepark and gaze at the water tower,sensing the expanse and harmony ofthe universe from a small prairietown named Cosmos. Daniel Hoytwould be pleased that at least thatpart of his dream was alive.

In keeping with its name, Cosmosannually celebrates its Space Festivalthe third weekend in July.
