VINTAGE AIRCRAFT TAKE TO THE SKIES AT WORLD WAR II AIRSHOW IN GRANITE FALLS, MINN. — STORY ON PAGE 8

I just returned from a wonderful familyadventure to the Badlands and BlackHills of South Dakota, which culminatedwith a family wedding in Denver.

We loaded up the minivan with tents,sleeping bags, cooking gear, tarps, dufflebags, backpacks, coolers, hiking boots,bathing suits, charcoal and a little Webergrill which, thanks to my husband, Dan,was the source of delicious dinners.

Our trip showed us an American experi-ence we will never forget.

The corn and soybean fields of Min-nesota gave way to the cattle and graz-ing land of South Dakota.

We camped in Badlands National Park. Ourevening hike gave us amazing views of a terrain thatlooked like the moon with its rocky crags and peaks.

We settled into our tent only to be awoken aroundmidnight to a spectacular thunderstorm that lastedinto the early morning hours. The kids slept on. I gota glimpse of lightning crack over the Badlands asDan climbed out to better secure the rain fly.

The sun shone in the AM and we headed to acampground just outside of Custer State Park. Wemet many families camping and seeing the sites.

We visited Mount Rushmore, where we watchedNative American hoop dancers. We saw four of ourgreatest presidents carved into stone: George Wash-ington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt andAbraham Lincoln. The memorial honors the found-ing, expansion, preservation and unification of theUnited States.

Next we headed to the Crazy Horse Memorial,where Korczak Ziolkowski began his carving ofLakota leader Crazy Horse in 1947. We learned thatcarving mountains really means blowing up the rockwith dynamite. Ziolkowski had 10 kids, and the fiveboys worked alongside their father on the mountain.To this day, his family carries on his life’s work.

The memorial includes The Indian Museum ofNorth America, where we marveled at artifacts thatshowed how America’s original people hunted,cooked, dressed, lived and worshipped. The commit-ment of a white man to preserve this culture isinspiring.

In Custer State Park, we hiked up Little Devil’sTower. The Black Hills spread out all around us.During the climb, my daughter pointed out a vein of

rose quartz. As she grabbed it, she said,“You are lucky you are here and won’t everbe mined.”

Thank you Teddy Roosevelt for teachingus to preserve our treasures for futuregenerations.

We drove the Wildlife Loop at Custer,where we saw herds of bison — bulls head-butting, cows nursing calves and allmunching on prarie grass. We imaginedwhat the land looked like to pioneers.

As we left Custer State Park for Denver,we were slowed by a bison herd crossingthe road. We ate a trucker’s breakfastand drove through cowboy country in

Wyoming. Pronghorns and cattle roamed.By 5 p.m., we arrived in Denver, where a Colorado

Rockies baseball game was letting out. Our driveended in a snarled traffic jam.

Bison, cowboys and Indians, presidents, chiefs, hotdogs, s’mores, camping, farms, ranches, baseball,cities, truck stops, mountains and fields of grain — isthis a great country or what?

To the Editor:The editor’s note — at the end of the June 19 letter

“Farmers paying for buffers” — using the wording of“public ditches” is not correct.

County ditches are paid by the landowners forbuilding and repairing. The title of county ditch is inname only. The county board has the legal responsi-bility to protect the landowners, and in this ruling ofbuffers the state is taking landowners’ propertywithout paying.

Let’s see what happens when lakeshore ownershave to give up 50 feet of shoreline property. Mowedgrass is not a buffer.Dennis MikkelsonLake Crystal, Minn.

To the Editor:I hope I’ve not been

wrong all this timeabout Paul Harvey’stribute to the farmer.For me as a farmer I’vealways thought it’sabout everyone wholoves, respects, anduses their talents forour gift of life.

Personally in recent weeks it’s abouta couple of black guys I had the gift oftalking to for a short time in life’s trav-els. One at a continental breakfast andthe other at a church, both times a fewyears ago. They grew up in big citypoverty and when old enough to be ontheir own worked their way out. A taskwe can’t comprehend and to not havehatred or look at the Confederate flagor slavery with anger but as the pastand excitement for the sunrise.

I think it’s about my farmer cousinfrom Pine City who jumped from a

perfectly good planeover Normandy so hope-fully we wouldn’t messit up and I could writethis several years later.

As a farm wife youknow the work and pres-sures a farmer faces andthe overpoweringdemand time plays. Four

of the great words — have to wait lunch— tell of the respect for the great value ofothers in our life. Those words about thewife are at the end of the day’s work andhunger, and says how important her roleis that all should stop while she doessomething as unimportant to the farmas feeding visiting ladies.

Paul’s tribute fits everyone no mat-ter what your walk in life is, if you fitthe way of the farmer’s honor in thetribute.Lester RydeenMarine, Minn.

Letter: Harvey tributelauds farm wives’ role

To the Editor:Every farm woman

knows operating a familyfarm is complex, but tremendouslyrewarding. It is no secret that womenplay a huge role on farms. There are somany challenges facing families inagriculture, from financial decisionmaking on the farm to estate planning.

Annie’s Project is a nationwide pro-gram that strives to empower womento become improved business partnersthrough networks by managing andorganizing critical information. Thissix-week course aims to educatewomen in the areas of risk of produc-tion, financial, marketing, legal andhuman resources; every rural womanshould consider attending.

As a past participant, I can sayAnnie’s Project gave me the tools tostart conversations with my familyabout what we do on our farm. I wasable to learn about several topics inshort periods of time, which allowed me

have a further understand-ing of what we do. I am

very proud of all the partici-pants in Annie’s Project for taking thetime out of their very busy lives to col-laborate and share what life is reallylike when you farm. There has not beena day that has gone by that I regret thetime I put into Annie’s Project. It hasgiven me the baseline understanding ofgeneral farm production topics, some-thing I feel is important to continuefarming the land just as my family hasdone for many, many generations.

If you’re a woman in agriculture andwant a comfortable setting to expandyour knowledge base of the farm,please consider attending an Annie’sProject workshop. Course will takeplace Tuesdays from July 28 throughSeptember, from 12-3 p.m. in Mankato,Minn. Registration is available atagstar.com/anniesproject.Angela GuentzelMankato, Minn.

On the mid-1970s, south-ern Illinois dairy farm of myyouth, we viewed MonsantoCo.’s new, systemic weedkiller, Roundup, as a miraclecure to our biggest perennialheadache, Johnson grass, thehard-to-kill weed still listedas one of the 10 worst weedsin U.S. agriculture.

The new herbicide wasn’tcheap — $70 per gallon, ifmemory serves — but it wasfar safer and just as effec-tive as my Uncle Honey’sstandard Johnson grasstreatment: dousing thewispy, tall plants with a 50/50 mixtureof gasoline and diesel.

And unlike Uncle Honey’s “cure,”Roundup never left spot after Super-fund spot of sterile ground all over thefarm for years.

Monsanto rode its breakthroughRoundup chemistry into agronomic his-tory. It was and remains the basis ofthe company’s pioneering, super-prof-itable genetically modified seeds, oftenreferred to as GMOs. Today, Monsantoremains the world leader in GMO croptechnology with almost $11 billion insales in 2014.

In the last two months, however, theSt. Louis-based seed giant is lookingmore and more like it wants to returnto its chemical roots. In early May and,again, in early June, Monsanto madetwo, very public offers to buy Syngenta,its Swiss rival in the global GM seed-ag chem business. The offers weighedin at a fat $45 billion.

Syngenta rebuffed both almost out-of-hand even though the second con-tained a Monsanto pledge to sell Syn-genta’s seed business and give it a $2billion parting kiss if U.S. and Euro-pean antitrust regulators ordered acorporate divorce within 18 months oftheir marriage.

So what gives? Why is Monsanto in

such hot pursuit of its keyrival if it doesn’t want boththe cow and its cream, Syn-genta’s ag chemical businessand its global GM seedbusiness?

Market analysts guessMonsanto’s big interest lies

in its long-term need to find new chem-istry to combat growing plant resist-ance to its flagship Roundup weedkiller. Monsanto’s purchase of Syn-genta, a company better known for itsherbicides and pesticides than its GMseeds, meets that key corporate need.

If pesticides are the fuel behind Mon-santo’s hot drive to capture Syngenta, acombination of the two then would hold42 percent of the North American pes-ticide market, 25 percent of the Euro-pean market and, overall, 26 percent ofthe world market, according to a June8 story in the Wall Street Journal.

Additionally, that “yes-chemistry, no-seeds” approach to the deal is some-what confirmed by a quick review ofinput prices paid by farmers in the 20-year adoption of GMOs. According toU.S. Department of Agriculture dataquoted by the Journal, the average costof farm seed has tripled since 1995.Chemical costs, by comparison, haveclimbed only 11 percent.

In short, if grain production remainshigh and grain prices low, the marketwith the most blue sky for ag supplierswill be crop chemicals, not crop seeds.

Also, Monsanto seems to be bettingthat tomorrow’s farmers will rotatechemicals more than crops. If correct, itis willing to pay a premium to get into

position now to profitmost then.

That view will beseen by critics as proofthey were right aboutGMOs from the get-go:GMOs are more abouttransnational chemicalcompanies making

money with clever bells and loud whis-tles than groundbreaking science makingmore and better food with less chemicals.

Monsanto vows to continue its hot-footed chase of Syngenta. Many marketwatchers view its early June offer to

sell Syngenta’s seed business (BayerAG’s CropScience unit is seen a poten-tial buyer) as a key to almost certainregulatory approval both in theUnited States and abroad.

Still, it’s not completely clear whatMonsanto is up to in its torrid wooingof Syngenta. Because of the chase,however, their combined market valuenow approaches $100 billion.

OPINION

To the Editor: This refers to the letter to the editor

“Farm groups’ buffer talk ‘silly,’‘hookey’” in The Land’s June 5 issue.The letter writer wrote that farmersare squealing that there is too muchgovernment oversight and not enoughgovernment help.

When you run out of food, will youthen squeal for the farmer to put food

on your table? Will there be any farmers left on the

farm to even raise your food? We do not make that much wealth on

the farm that we can pass our farms oneasily to the next generation. The aver-age age of farmers is the late ’50s.Dolores McClernon Tintah, Minn.

That’s some fancy footwork you’ve got there.You see a bug, and you do a two-step on its torso. A

beetle gets the Bossanova and you perform a littledo-si-do on any drainflies you might see. But bedbugs? Ugh, they could bow to your corner and you’dnever know — until you start to scratch. So what canyou do about unwanted visitors this summer? Read“Infested” by Brooke Borel and “House Guests HousePests” by Richard Jones and know what’s afoot.

Come on over, you’ve told your friends. Your familyknows that the welcome mat is out any time. You’llopen your door aplenty all season long but, unfortu-nately, that could mean a few visitors that didn’t getinvited.

In this, you’re not alone. Says Brooke Borel, thepharaohs in Egypt battled bed bugs; in fact, itseems that the bugs have “shadowed us throughouthistory.” They’ve adapted to our physiology, too: abed bug’s mouth is eight micrometers across, whileour red blood cells are seven-point-two in diameter.We’ve even helped them out by becoming “an effi-cient vehicle to spread” the bug around.

The same, says Richard Jones, happened withfleas because our ancestors “returned, night afternight, to sleep in the same shelter.” That gave fleasa reason for “a human-based flea community” wecould share with other hearths. Ick.

Overall, the reason we have little visitors we don’twant is because our homes offer four things: shelter,warmth, food, and protection from the pest’s naturalenemies. This goes for six and eight-legged nasties, aswell as those of the four-legged variety. (No word onthe two-legged pests. That’s probably another book ...)

So what can you do about such unpleasant com-pany? Says Borel, it’s tempting to use “whatevermeans possible” against bedbugs but move cautiouslyand remember that bed bugs are disgusting but no

“experiments over the pastcentury [have] successfullylinked bed bugs to illness …”

Jones advises to “Identify thevisitor;” keep things clean; usebarrier methods, natural repel-lents or man-made traps; and ifall else fails, “make a decisionabout whether it is acceptableor not to share your home …”

“We do love nature,” he says, “and we do want tosee it up close, but not that close.”

Are you squirming yet? Scratching your neck, orthe back of your arm? You will be, once you’re donereading “House Guests House Pests” and “Infested.”

Thanks to an investigator’s mien (Borel) and meancuriosity (Jones), there’s plenty to learn aboutvarmints in these two books, including where theycould have possibly come from and how to get them togo. Both authors touch upon natural methods of rid-ding your home of pests (and the lack thereof, in

Borel’s case),and both booksinclude a handyappendix orguide to answerany quick, (and,quite possibly,panicky) ques-tions you mighthave.

Beetles and bed bugs and flies!Oh, my! Whether you’re a homeowner or an apart-ment dweller you need “House Guests House Pests”and “Infested.” Get ’em now. And step on it.

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

Let’s be honest. Corn is bigbusiness.

And it doesn’t even matterwhat kind of corn you’retalking about — field corn,sweetcorn, candy corn,acorns, popcorn, corn chips,corn silage, corn-based fuel,corn sweeteners, DDGs,corn-based plastics andfibers — even the corns onour feet are big business forsomeone.

I love the tongue-in-cheekjoke about the vegetable industry cry-ing over the fact that it didn’t furtherpursue the candy industry’s notion tomake a sweet confection named anddesigned after kernels of corn. Even so,I wonder what kid (or even grown-up)would purposely consume candy broc-coli?

I’m sure there’s a reason that nevercaught on.

Whether the consumers of corn havetwo legs or four, it seems there’s a cer-tain amount of appeal that corn holdsto them, because corn affects our livesin a lot of ways.

For the farmer it’s a livelihood and a

way of life to pass on to chil-dren. It’s the miracle of newlife happening in plant fash-ion — and when thoseplants begin to emerge fromthe black gold that is richIowa soil, there is greatpride in seeing those just-visible rows of green thathold the future of the farmfamily within its new andvery tender roots. Dreamstake shape as the corngrows, and financial deci-sions are made as the com-

bine rolls across fields of gold.For a young farm kid, a little corn can

produce a vast amount of entertain-ment. Toy wagons are filled with it viatoy elevators, which dump the goldenkernels into the wagons below whilethey watch “Sesame Street.” It’s goodexperience for children, who will mostlikely do the real thing someday, withelevators powered by more than a handcrank.

I remember playing in the corn whenwe were growing up. Back then we did-n’t know or understand the dangers ofplaying in grain bins or wagons, andwe did it all the time. Thank God for

today’s knowledge of the safety issuesrelated to playing in grain — especiallyflowing grain.

We used to head out to the corn cribon a hot summer afternoon, climb thatvery tall, straight-up-and-down ladderthat took us to the overhead bins, andjump into that waiting pool of wonder-fully cool corn that was up there. Youcould burrow in up to your neck if youwanted. Only a farm kid can know howmuch fun that could be. It was a greatway to cool off in a dry way when youlived out in no-man’s land, many milesfrom a municipal swimming pool.

It’s a wonder we survived growing upin the 1960s and ’70s with little adultsupervision. Parents just knew we wereout playing somewhere on the farm. Iguess we were the original “Children of

the Corn.”In 1989, Hollywood created the story

of an Iowa farmer who kept hearing awhispered voice saying, “If you buildit, he will come.” He not only heard thevoice distinctly, but pursued it againstthe wishes of his bankers — and withjudgmental looks from his peers, fam-ily members and people in his commu-nity.

Most all farmers follow the verysame logic — if he builds it (the farmand the dream), there’s a chance thathis children will follow him. His quietwhispering is there for the hearing —if only his children will pursue it.

By the end of the movie we under-stood the majesty that an Iowa cornfield is, when one of the movie charac-ters asked, “Is this heaven?” And thefarmer replied, “No. It’s Iowa.”

How does Hollywood get off compar-ing being in an Iowa corn field tobeing in heaven? Just ask any cornfarmer. They’ll tell you it’s real.

Now that’s big.Karen Schwaller brings “Table Talk”

Dreams take shape asthe corn grows, andfinancial decisions aremade as the combinerolls across fields ofgold.

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

GRANITE FALLS, Minn. — The population ofMinnesota’s western prairie community of GraniteFalls swelled from 2,760 to nearly 15,000 on June20. The extra visitors came for the Ray FagenMemorial Airshow and witnessed “History in theSky” as World War II-era planes took to the skies.

Hosted by the Fagen Fighters WWII Museum andRon Fagen and associates at the Lenzen-Roe Memo-rial Airport, the air show was a tribute to all mili-tary veterans and a special tribute to Ray Fagen, aWWII infantry man who stormed the beaches ofNormandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944.

“This is an absolutely tremendous turnout,” RonFagen said. “I’m told at least 12,000 people withhundreds shuttled from the Casino to the air fieldbecause we simply ran out of room. We’ve got avia-tors from across the country who flew in with theirspecial aircraft. The weather is about perfect. Weare indeed blessed.”

Fagen, CEO of Fagen Inc., an industry leader inthe construction of ethanol plants, is Ray’s son. Henoted that every plane in the air show was poweredwith ethanol fuels.

AIRSHOW, from pg. 8Maid in the Shade from the ArizonaWing of the Commemorative Air Force,and a PV-2 Harpoon Navy bomber. Thefighter group included three P-51 Mus-tangs, a Bell P-63 Kingcobra, two FM-2Wildcats, an F4U Corsair and a Japan-ese Zero. To demonstrate the PacificTheater, the Japanese Zero engaged ina dogfight with the Corsair and lost.

The Japanese Zero is a fighter planewith amazing agility in the skies. War-ren Pietsch piloted the Zero at the airshow, but before the show Pete Bloodwas sitting beneath the wing andshared this bit of history on the Zero.

“They built them very lightweight,”said Blood. “They skipped on the self-sealing fuel tanks and armor plate.That lightened the plane giving itmore agility. But just get hit by a cou-ple of rounds and the Zero exploded ina fireball.”

Like many of these World War IIbirds, this particular Zero was a wreckwhen Pietsch and his two partnersfound it. Pietsch operates Pietsch Air-craft Restoration and Repair and co-founded the Minot Aero Center inNorth Dakota. This Zero, however,along with the F4U Corsair, is part ofthe Texas Flying Legends group.

Blood said maintenance is impor-tant on these older birds.

“After a show we pop the tins off theengine, check for oil leaks, etc.,” hesaid. “It’s still a high intensity fightereven though it’s now 70 years sincethat era of aerial dog fighting.”Flying legends

A B-17, known as the FlyingFortress, took to the skies. The leg-endary WWII bomber was there cour-tesy of the Experimental AircraftAssociation of Oshkosh, Wis.

“Our B-17, named Aluminum Over-cast, was built in 1945,” said pilotSean Elliott. “A total of 12,731 B-17swere built. There’s about 13 left world-wide that are airworthy; only eight inthe United States that still fly.”

The B-17 handles like a 45,000-pound Piper J-3 Cub, a simple lightaircraft built between 1937 and 1947,known for its yellow color, Elliott said.

“It’s got great handling qualities butit’s all old school,” he said. “There areno hydraulic boosts; everything ismuscle power and upper bodystrength. There’s no human factor interms of how the controls are laid out.Because it’s an old school machine theoperator has to really know very pre-cisely how to fly it well.”

With 8,500 hours of pilot time,Elliott has been flying since 1983,soloing on his 16th birthday. Lucky forhim, this old bird is extremely reliableand capable.

“In wartime, the B-17 grossed out atalmost 70,000 pounds with bomb loadand extra fuel,” Elliot said. “The warbirds had two exterior fuels tankscalled Tokyo Tanks which wouldincrease total fuel capacity to 2,800gallons. That would provide at least10 to 12 hours flying time.”

Fuel consumption on this B-17 isabout 200 gallons per hour. The fourengines have been turbo-charged sothe plane can fly up to 30,000 feet. Atthat altitude, the plane cruises at 280mph, but at lower elevations it hits210 mph.

Flying the big bird coast-to-coast,from air show to air show, is expen-sive. Break-even funding comes fromthe sale of Living History Flights.

Elliott noted that the B-17 doesn’tlike cross winds so the runway at thisfield is “barely enough” and joshedthat the 4,300-foot long runway is asidewalk for this plane.

A P-51 Mustang was flown in byTony Buechler of Milwaukee. Hebought his plane 30 years ago in Cali-fornia. At that time, the plane had justbeen restored but Buechler recentlydid another complete restoration. Hesaid he’ll keep his bird around as longas he can still climb up the wing andhoist his legs into the cockpit.

Buechler’s career as an anesthesiolo-gist at a Milwaukee hospital helpsfinance his hobby.

“I couldn’t afford one of these birdstoday,” he said. “Thirty years ago theywere much less expensive. The P-51 hadnot yet become a prized possession.”

Buechler did some formation flyingwith the other two P-51s at the airshow.

“The P-51 helped turn the tide of airsupremacy over Europe during WorldWar II so it’s got a remarkable his-tory,” he said.

Sky divingBill Ufkin, mayor of Minneota,

Minn., opened the air show with a skydive from 4,000 feet. As he was gettinginto his jump suit, he said, “I’m scaredto death!”

Not to worry — Ufkin has made over2,000 jumps at air shows and eventsacross the nation, but he’s not anArmy-trained Airborne soldier.

“I started late in life, in my mid-30s,in sport jumping,” he said. “It’s a blast.I still enjoy every jump. Skies todayare beautiful with lots of big puffyclouds up there. I’ll do some twistingand turning on the way down. Puttingon a bit of a show is what this is abouttoday. So as a young lady sings theNational Anthem I’ll be sailingthrough the sky planning to landdirectly in front of the stage.”

Ufkin jumped from a 1943 Stearmanowned by Calvin Brandt of Delano,Minn. The Stearman was built as atrainer for young would-be pilots as

World War II ramped up in Europeand the Pacific Theater. Brandt’splane is powered by a 300 horse-power Lycoming engine but he notedthat the original Stearman wereequipped with Continental 220 hpengines.

“After the war crop dusting withbiplanes started catching on,” saidBrandt, “so Stearman started

installing 300s, 450s, even 600 hpPratt & Whitney engines. This air-plane really was the popular choiceback in the ’50s and ’60s as agricultureturned to airplanes for pest control.”

Brandt and Ron Fagen are longtimefriends, growing up together as farmkids in the Maynard, Minn., area. Infact, Ray Fagen, Ron’s dad, flew out ofBrandt’s father’s alfalfa field.

“That’s what gave me the flyingbug,” said Brandt.

In 1968, he left the farm for voca-tional school in Granite Falls were hereceived fluid power training and gota job in the Twin Cities. Still, healways wanted a Stearman.

Brandt found his plane in Texaswhere it was part of a crop dustingcadre.

“It was pretty much a basket case,”he said, “so we had to haul it up herepiece by piece.”

AIRSHOW, from pg. 9Howard Cronin of Clara City, Minn., rebuilt the

plane.“The wings are completely new; the fuselage is

rebuilt,” said Brandt. “It had a 450 engine; Iwanted a 300 with a constant speed prop. For me,this airplane works great; cruises at about 115mph with 75 percent horsepower.”

Brandt, now crowding 70, has fun with his Stear-man.

“It was built for stunt flying,” he said. “I do loops,stalls, hammer heads, barrel rolls. It’s a very easystunt plane. The hardest thing about this airplaneis landing it. It wants to ‘squirrel’ all over the placebut we get along okay.”

Apparently the Stearman is a good plane forlaunching sky divers, too. When Bill Ufkin dovefrom Brandt’s plane at the air show, his pilot wasDan Barber, who started flying in 2006.

Barber used to work at Flying Cloud Airport,which has two Stearman planes available for airrides.

“One year back in 1995 my daughters bought mea ride for Father’s Day,” Barber said. “The pilotknew I had some ‘tail wheel’ time so he said ‘Assoon as we’re off the ground it’s your airplane.’ Thiswas supposed to be a 20-minute ride but we flewfor about 45 minutes having all sorts of fun. Andthat hooked me on the fun of flying a Stearman.”

Barber and Brandt also grew up together.

“We milked cows together when we were youngguys at Sebring Dairy down here in Granite Falls,”said Barber. “When I was born we lived on this landwhere this airport now sits. So I always appreciatethe opportunity to fly Cal’s Stearman and todaywe’re the sky dive crew.”

In 2012, the Fagen Fighters WWII Museum inGranite Falls was opened by Ron and Diane Fagen,and sons Aaron and Evan, to connect the latest gen-eration with the Greatest Generation. The museum isopen Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed onnational holidays.

The latest full ‘From the Fields’ crop reports from our Minnesota

& northern Iowa producersThe Pulks Wannaska, Minn.

The planting season is complete for Andy Pulk.The Land spoke with Pulk on June 19 as heexplained he was basically done plantingsunflowers. He is dealing with “some emergenceissues with the sunflowers,” due to planting in“definitely not ideal” soil conditions. “The cornlooks fair,” said Pulk, but “It’s definitely behinddue to cold/wet conditions.” He will be sidedressing corn next week as well as cutting hay.

Pulk has sprayed all the corn,wheat and soybeans in thelast two weeks. In just over amonth, they’ve seen eight to10 inches of rain fall on thePulk farm. What the cropsneed is some heat — “That’s

the main thing now,” he said, adding that hiscrops are “as a whole average, definitely notbetter than average.”

The Lees McIntosh, Minn.

Joan Lee is still surprised by how much youcan get done on the farm when you don’t have tostop and do chores and milking. The Land spokewith Lee on June 19. She had finished gettingthe “chopping done on the first (hay) crop. Itwent well, nothing too major.” The corn has beencultivated again. Lee had some issues in one ofthe corn fields with cutworms but thankfullythey’re “not too bad right now.” In general, she

said the corn is “starting tocome around.” Lee said thather husband, Mark, “haddragged the soybean field”and that “the beans arestarting to pop up nice.”Meanwhile, “Wheat looks

good; it’s been sprayed,” Lee said, noting thatoverall “for the most part, things are lookinggood.”

The Haarstads Rothsay, Minn.

The Land caught up withJohn Haarstad on June 18 ashe was getting ready to sidedress corn. Haarstadestimated that “it should takeus about two days.” He was hoping to get theside dressing done quickly to “try to beat a rainsystem coming.” Haarstad did finish sprayingcorn and soybeans. As for the how crops are

doing, he said “The corn-on-corn ground is reallysuffering,” while the “corn-on-bean ground islooking good.” The beans are “looking nice,” hesaid, but all of the crops “still need some heat.”The forecast was music to Haarstad’s ears —“It’s supposed to be nice and warm next week.”Overall, he said “everything is progressing nicely”on their farm.

The Filzens Renville, Minn.

“The crops are starting to shape up.” That wasDale Filzen’s report to The Land on June 19,adding that “a shot of rain wouldn’t hurt any.”Regarding his sugar beets, Filzen said “Themajority are getting close to row closing,” puttingthem slightly ahead of average. The corn is“actually pretty good,” he said, and the soybeansand navy beans are doing “pretty good” as well.Filzen continues to clean out bins and get corn

hauled out. “I’ve cleaned outthree bins this week,” hesaid, with more to go.Overall, “Things look as goodas can be expected,” saidFilzen. He expects that thecrops will continue to do well

“as long as we keep getting rain once in a while,and warm temperatures.”

The ThorpesCanby, Minn.

Nathan Thorpe is back from his Canada fishingexcursion and reported that “the bugs were bad(but the) fishing was good.” He got back in timeto witness two to five inches of rain fall in anhour and a half on the farm. When The Landspoke with Thorpe on June 25, he was happy thatthe crops are doing well in spite all that moisture.“The corn is between knee high and waist high;It’s beautiful,” he said. The soybeans were

sprayed before the rain, andThorpe said he’s “very happywith what I see; good color.”Meanwhile, he is cutting hayas well as getting equipmentready for fall. Withtemperatures in the 80s the

weather is “pretty ideal for here,” Thorpe said.“We’re about in as good as conditions as you canget.”

The PagelsWinthrop, Minn.

Everything seems to begrowing well on the Pagelfarm — unfortunately thatincludes the weeds. TheLand spoke with DelaynePagel on June 26 as he was “spraying a secondshot of Liberty” and said he is “thinking aboutspraying beans three times.” The soybeans aren’tbad, he said, but they do have “lots of iron

chlorosis.” The wheat took some heavy rain andfell down, but is coming back up now. Meanwhile,the corn is “waist high,” and kidney beans are“coming along real good.” Pagel said he just gotdone spraying those for leafhoppers. Wheatharvest is just around the corner; he’s gettingequipment ready to go. He’s also getting ready fora vacation to Michigan for the Fourth of July aswell as eagerly awaiting the birth of his firstgrandchild, due any day now.

The MarblesMapleton, Minn.

On June 22, HarlanMarble’s crops took a beatingin a havoc-wreaking storm.“We had winds up to 70miles per hour,” he said.When The Land caught up with Marble three dayslater, he reported that he had “80 acres of cornflat on the ground” and the soybeans “all tooksome wind damage.” Marble said it felt like déjà

vu — a June 23, 1981 storm “took everything wehad” — but fortunately this time the storm didfar less damage. The farm sustained two inchesof rain in less than two hours, with hail sprinkledin there as well. The ground is too wet to spray,so for now Marble is looking ahead to harvest:“We got the combine out this morning, washed itall off. This Blue Earth County farmer is lookingto brighter days ahead for the crops. “I’moptimistic,” he said.

The HeusinkveldsWykoff, Minn.

“Moisture is really good.” That was NateHeusinkveld’s report when The Land spoke withhim on June 28. “Got our peas and barley done(on June 21)” he said, and “started on secondcrop.” The corn is looking “really good,” saidHeusinkveld, evident by the dark green/blueleaves. “It’s waist high.” The soybeans are“starting to take off,” he said, thanks to the cropsfinally getting some heat. Besides finishing

cutting the hay crop, he’sworking on “someconstruction projects here;working on some calf barns.”For Heusinkveld, “It’s kind ofbeen a perfect growingseason to say the least. I

can’t complain.”

The KempsSibley, Iowa

A little snapped corn isn’t keeping Brian Kempdown. The Land spoke with Kemp on June 26after a storm that went through on the 22ndsnapped off a little of his corn. That damageaside, the “crops look good.” In fact, the corn is“growing like crazy,” said Kemp, and thesoybeans are also looking good. He’ll be scoutinghis crops the next two weeks, “monitoring what’sgoing on.” Kemp is thankful for the moisture that

has fallen. “We’ve hadadequate rain to keep thecrop going.”

The Froemmings Garfield, Minn.

Rain has been hangingaround the Froemming farmfor the last two weeks, withclose to two inches of rainfalling in that time. The Landspoke with Rodney Froemming on June 19 as hehad started making hay and “still had some left.”The heat has arrived, with “highs up in 70s, closeto 80s,” he said. “Corn is looking good, knee-high

or a little better,” said Froemming, and “thewheat is about 100 percent headed out.”Meanwhile, the soybeans are four inches tall and“look pretty good.” When the rain fell, Froemmingstarted working on the combine; he anticipatesthat rye harvest will begin in four to five weeks.“That’s a little bit earlier than normal.”

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

Kent Schultz, a contract swine finisher inPostville, Iowa, attended the World Pork Expoin Des Moines for the first time this year.Schultz checked out the expo in part becausehis daughter works for Kemin Inspired Mole-cular Solutions, an animal nutrition andhealth firm exhibiting there.

“I am tremendously impressed with thescope of this event — people from all overthe world and the most exhibitors I’veever seen at an ag show,” said Schultz.

For the past 11 years Schultz has been acontract finisher of hogs.

“I didn’t feel we were big enough to survive on ourown,” he said. “This takes the guess work out ofbeing a hog man. We get paid for our barns based onthe work we do and we get the manure. That alone isa bigger item each year.”

His operation has 11,500 spaces which makes hisproduction output roughly 28,000 to 30,000 hogs peryear. His three oldest barns are 2,000 pig capacity,but the two newer barns are 2,500 head.

His integrator handles a lot of maternal lines intheir sow population so Schultz sees a variety ofbreeds and genetics in the feeder pigs delivered tohis barns every 145-150 days. He indicated thematernal lines are a bit slower gaining; a little bittouchier to work with.

Schultz isn’t concerned about feeding rations,deliveries, even feed costs. That’s an overheadexpense of his pig provider.

“I just know that about every two-and-a-half tothree weeks, our feeding system in our barns getsreloaded with a different ration,” he said.

Like most contract finishers, he pumps manure inthe fall.

“But last year our custom guy couldn’t get there ontime so one barn didn’t get pumped till this spring sowe had to save 40 acres of cropland for this springapplication,” Schultz said. “I prefer fall applicationbecause there are less soil compaction issues.”

Schultz is also a corn and soybean producerin the rolling topography of AllamakeeCounty. He does some corn-on-corn dependingupon the fields available and price of corn.Swine business

Schultz has no immediate plans to retirefrom contract finishing, but there is an end insight.

“I’ve probably only got 10 years left inthis aging body,” he said, “but I’ve got twosons, both wanting to farm. They eachactually already have built a barn andthat’s a good way to get into this phase ofthe swine industry.”

Obviously hog markets aren’t a concernfor Schultz but he’s encouraged about the outlook forpork. And his integrator is doing OK, he said,because they keep wanting to expand.

“I want to see them making money because ifthey’re making money, we’re making money,” saidSchultz.

Bigger pigs tend to be the marketing reality thesedays. He said a 300-pound butcher has been thestandard for the past five years, but he noted a dropdown to that 290-pound pig the past 4-5 months.

Do a good job as a contract finisher and there canbe some rewards.

“We get a print-out at the end of every turn show-ing exactly where we finished in the group,” Schulzsaid. “They run a bonus program that closes every 28days on every barn that closes out. All it takes is atenth or two difference to be in the top one or twowithin your group, to being the bottom one or two.Get in the top category and you can get up to $2.25per pig space. So that’s a nice deal but you’ve got tohave good pigs in that batch going in.”

Daily labor may be only a half hour per barn ifthere are no problems, but other days it could be anhour to an hour-and-a-half in each barn, explainedSchultz.

“The big labor is when we sell,” he said. “It’s calledtopping a barn. You’ve got to sell four to five pigs outof each pen. You do that four, maybe five times before

we swing gates, meaning open the gates and letthem load.”

When asked if he had a good eye for sorting thepigs, Schultz chuckled and said that he should, butthe contractor comes in and marks the hogs to besold.

Once the pigs are gone and the buildings areempty, a few days of intensive labor happens.

“You break the feeders down; you pre-soak for halfa day; and then you just start power washing. Weused to do that chore ourselves but now we hiresome kids to do the power washing,” he said.

“We let it dry, then disinfect the entire structure;let it set for another half day; then put the feederstogether again. We’re never down more than five orsix days.” ❖

South-central Minnesota has seenan increase in feedlot starts andexpansions during the last few years.

About halfway through 2015, theregion has 27 new permits for cre-ation or expansion of feedlots, up from25 in 2014 and 18 in 2013.

The permit number doesn’t reflectthe total number of animal farms inthe counties, just those that are newor expanding in each year.

County officials from several coun-ties expect a few more permits tostart or expand feedlots yet this year.

“It was the most we’ve had in awhile,” Brown County feedlot officer

Amy Beatty said. “We had four lastyear, and this year is more so far.”

In Watonwan County, Planning andZoning Department Director DavidHaler said several potential applicantsare discussing plans with state andcounty officials.

“A lot of people start looking at thepossibilities and then decide it’s not theright time,” he said. “But I think wecould have three or four more this year.”

Counties handle permits for new andexpanding feedlots. The amount ofdetail required is based on the numberof animal units in the proposal. Animalunits is a measurement based on theprojected weight of the animals com-pared to 1,000 pounds. For example, a

beef steer or horse is one animal unit,but a large hog is 0.4 animal units.

Pork and beef producers each havereasons for starting up or adding totheir stock.

Paul FitzSimmons and his brotherown a hog farm near Good Thunder.He said sows have borne more piglets,meaning established pig farms havehad to add space.

“Both the born number hasincreased and the ability of females tocarry them to the weaning process hasimproved,” he said. “So we went from10 pigs to a litter to 11 or 11 1/2.”

This was the process of breeding, hesaid, not genetic modifications.

“That created a situation for a farmthat used to put out 1,000 pigs, now it’s1,100, so you had to add 10 percent ofspace,” FitzSimmons said.

Prices last year helped encouragethe growth, he said. This year, theexpectation is that hog production willbe profitable through the third quarterbut tougher in the fourth quarter.

“There will be a lot of pigs cominginto the market in 2016,” he said.

Hog producers would like to see moreopen trade in Asia and they’re watch-ing the fallout from the avianinfluenza outbreak both for feed pricesand meat prices.

Nicole Kenney Rambo, assistantExtension professor in feedlot nutri-tion and management at the Univer-sity of Minnesota, said farms all overthe Midwest are starting up orexpanding beef feedlots.

“Really, the big piece is the fertilizervalue of manure,” Rambo said. “Theprice of commercial fertilizer has

increased.”Using the cow manure for fertilizing

crops could save $30 to $80 per animalunit per year if the animals are in aconfinement building, Rambo said. Andthe price of fertilizer isn’t expected tofall dramatically anytime soon.

The other piece is the price of corn.“Now, corn prices are low, while cat-

tle-fed prices are high,” she said. “Soselling the farm’s production as beef asopposed to selling it as corn is better.”

While traditional beef productionhas been in Kansas south to Texas,more beef cattle farms have started inthe Upper Midwest since 2010.

“The cattle inventory is historicallylow — it’s the lowest since the 1950s,”Rambo said. “And the greater demandfor less cattle has led to record-highprices.”

One other boon for cattle farmersduring the last few years has beenimprovements in confinement barns.

“They have made the production sys-tem a lot more attractive,” Rambo said.“There are a lot of improvements, likeimproved ventilation, that help thehealth of animals and performance.”

Combined, it has led to a slew of pos-itives for starting or adding to a beefcattle herd.

“There is a lot of renovating andexpanding,” Rambo said. “Tradition-ally cattle feeders who have been on asmaller scale have increased prettydramatically over the last few years.”

Local Corn and Soybean Price Index

Grain prices are effective cash close on June 30. The price index chart compares an average of most recently reported local cash prices with the same average for a year ago.*Cash grain price change represents a two-week period.

Grain AnglesAssessing your

team’s advantageI was a volunteer youth basketball coach for

nearly two decades while my children and theirfriends were growing up. I enjoyed this because ofmy passion for the sport and I had great kids tocoach. Each year, after a few practices, I wouldassess my team’s competitiveadvantages.

If I had some long and fairlyfast athletes, I tried to speed thegame up by pressing and trap-ping. With teams that did nothave as many athletes (not-so-quick and small), I emphasizedslowing the game down with apatient half-court offense —keeping the amount of turnoversto a minimum so that we could“stay in the game,” giving us thebest possible chance for success.

I think there are some similari-ties when we assess our competitive advantages asgrain producers, especially as we try to “stay in thegame” with very tight profit margins. When I assessa grain producer for their competitive advantages,these are the management areas I consider:

• Are they a low-cost producer? What does it costyou to produce a bushel of corn or soybeans com-pared to your peers? In order for a producer to knowthis they have to have a good set of records. Goodfinancial management is also a competitive advan-tage.

• Production ability as measured by actual pro-duction history — If you can’t produce good yieldsprofitably, there is a need to investigate this further.

• Overall land costs per crop acre — Depending on

Grain OutlookCorn rallies

to close high The following market analysis is for the week end-

ing June 26.CORN — Corn staged a significant rally this week

in trading leading up to the all-important PlantedAcreage and Grain Stocks reports due out June 30.Weather was the major driver asthe view that “rain makes grain”crossed into concerning territoryas heavy rain pounded the east-ern Midwest. While this mayhave a bigger impact on soybeanacres than corn at this point intime, a rising tide lifts all boats.Support also came from fundscovering short positions ahead ofthe approaching month and quar-ter end reporting period.

Corn closed higher in four out ofthe five trading sessions thisweek. July corn rallied 31 3⁄4 centsfor the week to close at $3.85 per bushel.The Decembercorn contract soared 33 1⁄4 cents higher to settle at$4.02 per bushel. This is the first time the Decembercontract has closed above $4.00 since April 20.

Comparisons to 1993, when we experienced heavysummer rains, will likely begin to pop up. TheDecember 1993 contract traded to its contract low onJune 14 at $2.25 1⁄4 per bushel before rallying to ahigh of $2.61 by July 9, 1993, for a 35 3⁄4 cent gain.The rally in December 2015 corn from the contractlow of $3.62 1⁄2 set on June 15 to this week’s high of$4.06 1⁄2 totaled 44 cents per bushel.

Eleven of the 20 wettest summers since 1895 haveoccurred after 1960. The corn yield was above trend-line in eight of those 11 years, with the biggest set-

Livestock AnglesBeef prices

lower demand The month of June has not produced a very positive

atmosphere for livestock prices. The month has seenboth cattle and hog prices slump, in futures and incash.

The cattle market has seen another rejection at thehighs of the trading range thatthis market has been entrappedin for months. Both cash andfutures markets are now testingthe lows of this range once again.

There has been a battle goingall spring between the short sup-ply of cattle and the demand forbeef. So far it has been nothingmore than a standoff in the mar-ketplace. This standoff betweensupply and demand may be com-ing to a conclusion in the weeksahead.

The economic conditions willlikely be the catalyst to break this trading range thathas been in place so long. The disparity in pricebetween beef and all other competitive meats is waytoo wide for contracting disposable incomes to bear.As a result the demand for beef will continue to suf-fer. This has been an ongoing struggle for months asbeef cutouts have increased the boxed beef move-ment contracts indicating a continued reluctance bythe consumer because of price.

With ample supplies of these competitive meatswhich have a lower cost per pound, the value is nowpointing away from beef. So despite the fact thatnumbers are likely to remain tight in the monthsahead, prices are not likely to follow the supply asmuch as they follow the demand.

NYSTROM, from pg. 15back in 1993 when the yield was 21bushels per acre below trendline. It isyet to be determined how this year’sacreage and yield potential will beimpacted by recent weather events.The statistic for soybeans in this sce-nario was above trendline yields inseven of those 11 wettest years, in1993 and 2008.

The average trade estimate for theJune 30 Grain Stocks as of June 1report is 4.555 billion bushels. Thiscompares to last year’s 3.852 billionbushels on hand June 1. On March 1of this year, we had 7.745 billionbushels of corn in inventory. The aver-age trade forecast for corn acreage is89.292 million acres. The March 31U.S. Department of Agriculture num-ber was 89.199 million acres and lastyear we planted 90.597 million acres.

Taiwan bought Brazilian corn thisweek for September/October ship-ment, a time slot they would normallybuy from the United States. Report-edly, they were able to buy it $8 perton cheaper than U.S. corn for thatsame shipment time.

Safras in Brazil pegged theirsafrinha corn crop at 55.7 million met-ric tons, up from their 52.8 mmt esti-mate in April. If correct, this wouldput their total corn crop at 86 mmt

versus USDA’s last fore-cast for 81 mmt.

Our new crop salescommitments are already runningbehind last year. Weekly export salesfor old crop were 19.6 million bushelsand on the lower end of expectations,but above the 11 million bushels ofsales needed per week to hit the targetof 1.825 billion bushels. New crop saleswere 11.7 million bushels, bringingtotal commitments to 111.4 millionbushels. Last year we had 134 millionsold for new crop by this time of year.

Weekly ethanol production was higherthan anticipated at 292 million gallonsper week, up 4 million gallons. This wasanother new weekly production record.We only need 280 million gallons perweek to achieve the USDA forecast.Ethanol stocks fell from 870 million gal-lons to 833 million gallons, the biggestweekly decline since October.

OUTLOOK: Direction now rests withthe Planted Acreage and GrainsStocks as of June 1 reports and whatthey will say on June 30 and howweather patterns develop. Was lastweek’s rally our summer rally? Howbullish must the reports be for themarket to extend the uptrend? Basislevels declined this week as growersrewarded the rally with heavy selling.

SOYBEANS — Rising concerns over

the prospect that fewerunplanted soybean

acres than previouslythought will eventually get plantedand the detrimental effect of recentthunderstorms on planted acresspurred prices sharply higher thisweek. Funds also were big buyers,reversing their net short position into anet long position. July soybeans stageda 30 1⁄2 cent rally to close at $10.02 perbushel. The leader, however, was theNovember contract which settled 46 1⁄4cents higher at $9.86 per bushel.

While close attention will be paid tothe upcoming acreage report, manywonder if the USDA will resurveybean numbers ahead of the Augustmonthly crop report. While no decisionhas been announced, most of theweather effects occurred after June 1.The USDA acreage survey is con-ducted in the first two weeks of June.Adding to the unknown for the acreagereport is the quandary over what hap-pened to some 3 million acres. Totalacreage for corn, beans, wheat,sorghum and cotton on the USDA’sMarch prospective planting report was246.5 million acres compared to 249.3million acres in 2014. Could it be possi-ble to have lost soybean acres to theweather, but actually see an increasein acres from the March report?

The average trade estimate for June1 soybean stocks is 670 millionbushels. The USDA indicated therewere 1.334 billion bushels of soybeanin inventory on March 1 and last yearon June 1 there were 405 millionbushels on hand. For planted acreage,the average projection is 85.171 mil-lion acres, which is higher than theUSDA March report that forecasted84.635 million acres would be plantedto soybeans. Last year, we planted

83.701 million acres to soybeans.With most of traders’ focus on the

U.S. situation, don’t forget that SouthAmerica has record production thisyear that we will have to compete withfor some time to come. Abioveincreased their soybean productionestimate for Brazil from 93.0 to 93.7mmt. The last USDA forecast was 94.5mmt. They also pumped up the exportsto 48.7 mmt compared to USDA’s 45.65mmt projection.

There were rumors this week thatBrazilian meal had traded into theUnited States and U.S. meal businesswas being switched from the UnitedStates to Brazil. Brazilian meal pre-miums were tumbling throughout theweek, but nothing has been confirmed.

U.S. weekly export sales were at thelower end of estimates at 4.4 millionbushels for old crop, bringing total oldcrop commitments to 1.856 billionbushels when the target was 1.810 bil-lion bushels. Typically, 60 millionbushels are rolled from old crop to newcrop, suggesting we could still see anincrease in exports on this year’s bal-ance sheet. New crop sales continue todisappoint the trade, coming in at 7.4million bushels for the week, bringingtotal commitments to 221 millionbushels compared to 395.5 million onthe books last year by now.

OUTLOOK: November soybeansmay hold the contract low of $8.95 3⁄4ahead of the June 30 reports, with newresistance at $10.04 3⁄4 per bushel,then $10.39 3⁄4 per bushel. Muchattention will be paid to the June 30USDA reports on planted acres andgrain stocks. Did they overestimatelast year’s crop? Are the soybeans outthere in tight hands, or not there atall? ❖

Soybean prices rise sharply on thunderstorms

LARSON, from pg. 15your APH, how competitive is this? Ifyour corn APH is greater than 185bushels per acre, is your overall land costless than $250 per acre? At what landcost level are you no longer profitable?

• Land debt per crop acre —Depending on the quality of the land,less than $2,000 land debt per cropacre could be considered a competi-tive advantage, giving you the poten-tial to grow your business shouldmore land come available at a com-petitive price.

• Machinery and vehicle invest-ment per crop acre — Less than $575per acre. The thriftier you are here,the better return on your investment.Can you out-farm someone who is atgreater than $1,000 machinery andvehicle investment per crop acre?

• Working capital position — Grainproducers who have working capitalper adjusted gross income greaterthan 30 percent or greater than $500of actual working capital per cropacre have a competitive advantage

over producers with limited liquiditywho cannot weather multiple years ofcrop losses.

• Marketing — It doesn’t have to bea complicated plan to get good results,but in order to be competitive you doneed a written thought-out plan.

• Risk management — Not only canyou sleep better at night knowing yourcrop and business are protected, it alsoallows you to potentially market athigher levels.

Establishing what your competitiveadvantage is and emphasizing thatmanagement strength in your busi-ness can give you the best chance ofhaving future success.

TEALE, from pg. 15Producers would be wise to follow

these market conditions and protectinventories as needed.

The hog market has continued toslide throughout the month of June.Current numbers have been more thanadequate to offset the fairly decentdemand for pork. This has given thepacker the luxury of being selective inthe pricing of live inventory.

On June 26, the USDA released aQuarterly Hogs and Pigs Report whichstated that all hogs and pigs as of June1 was 109 percent. This was on thehigh side or estimates prior to the

report. The kept for breeding numberwas 101 percent which was lower thananticipated, while the kept for market-ing number was 109 percent in linewith the pre-report estimates.

Overall the report was seen as neu-tral to slightly negative in the shortterm and neutral in the long term.Therefore the short term outlookappears to be determined more by thesupply of hogs and longer term by thedemand for pork.

Producers should monitor marketconditions closely and protect invento-ries when the opportunities presentthemselves. ❖

Farm operators in Minnesota,Iowa and other Midwesternstates overwhelmingly selectedthe Agricultural Risk Cover-age-County farm programchoice for corn and soybeans forthe 2014-18 crop years. Theother farm program choiceswere the Price Loss Coverageor Agricultural Risk Coverage-Individual Coverage programs.

The U.S. Department of Agri-culture recentlyreleased the results offarm program sign-up,which ended on March31. It appears that the higher likelihoodof corn and soybean ARC-CO paymentsfor the 2014 and 2015 crop years inmany states probably leaned the choicetoward the ARC-CO program.Farm program sign-up results

Following are the results of the newfarm program sign-up for the entireUnited States, listing the total numberfarms enrolled, total base acres enrolled,and percentage of crop base acresenrolled in each farm program option:• Corn — 1,363,342 farms;96,768,447 base acres; 93 percent ARC-CO; 7 percent PLC; less than one per-cent ARC-IC• Soybeans — 1,062,142 farms;54,514,972 base acres; 97 percent ARC-CO; 3 percent PLC; less than one per-cent ARC-IC• Wheat — 802,482 farms; 63,699,144base acres; 56 percent ARC-CO; 42 per-cent PLC; two percent ARC-IC

• Grain Sorghum —230,382 farms; 8,979,430 base acres; 66percent ARC-CO; 33 percent PLC; lessthan one percent ARC-IC• Barley — 111,277 farms; 5,185,717base acres; 22 percent ARC-CO; 75 per-cent PLC; four percent ARC-IC• Oats — 49,356 farms; 2,020,243base acres; 32 percent ARC-CO, 67 per-cent PLC; one percent ARC-IC

The farm program enrollment for mostof the major corn and soybean producingstates in the United States is listed inthis column’s accompanying tables. Thefirst table lists the number of farmsenrolled in the new farm program ineach state, and the total number of cropbase acres enrolled, as well as the 2014change in base acres, as compared to the2013 crop base acres. The second tablelists the farm program enrollment choice(PLC, ARC-CO or ARC-IC) for 2014-18for corn and soybeans in each state. Com-

plete farm program enrollment data forall crops and all states can be found onthe following U.S. Department of Agricul-ture website: http://goo.gl/kvAr7KEnrollment data observations

The 2014 benchmark price for the ARC-CO program is $5.29 per bushel for corn,which will also likely be the ARC-CObenchmark price for the 2015 crop year.As a result, there was a very high likeli-hood for significant ARC-CO paymentsfor the 2014 crop year in Minnesota,Iowa, South Dakota and portions of otherstates that had average or below-averagecorn yields in 2014. If corn prices remainat current levels or lower, there is also ahigh likelihood for significant ARC-CO

payments again for the 2015 crop year,depending on the final county averageyields. The result was a very high enroll-ment rate in the ARC-CO program forcorn, especially in the Midwesternstates. If lower price levels continue, theARC-CO benchmark prices for corn willlikely decline significantly for the 2016,2017 and 2018 crop years, lowering theARC-CO guarantees, and the likelihoodof ARC-CO payments.

Benchmark price for the ARC-COprogram for 2014 is $12.27 per bushelfor soybeans, which will also likely bethe ARC-CO benchmark price for the

THIESSE, from pg. 172015 crop year. ARC-CO paymentsfor soybeans for the 2014 crop yearwill be much more variable than withcorn, and will occur primarily in areas ofthe Upper Midwest that experiencedbelow average soybean yields in 2014.Soybean ARC-CO payments for the 2015crop year could be much more prevalent,if soybean prices stay at current levels ordrop even lower. Similar to corn, theenrollment rate in the ARC-CO programfor soybeans was extremely high. Just aswith corn, it should be noted that theARC-CO benchmark prices and guaran-tees could decline in future years, if soy-bean prices remain low.

The market year average price that isused to calculate potential PLC, ARC-COand ARC-IC for corn and soybeans is cal-culated from Sept. 1 in the year of cropharvest until Aug. 31 the following year.

Actual farm program pay-ments are made in theyear following the yearthat the crop was pro-duced. (Example: AnyARC-CO or PLC paymentsfor the 2014 crop year forcorn and soybeans will bemade in October 2015.)

The current USDA esti-mate for the 2014 MYAprice for corn is $3.65 perbushel. Based on that esti-mate, there would be a small 2014 PLCpayment ($0.05 per bushel, or approx.$5.00-$8.00 per corn base acre in Min-nesota).The estimated 2014 ARC-CO pay-ment for corn in Minnesota ranges from$55.00-$80.00 per corn base acre, with thehigher payment levels in the southern por-

tion of the state. USDA has a preliminaryMYA estimate of $3.20-$3.80 per bushel forthe 2015 crop year, or an average of $3.50per bushel.At that MYA price level, thepotential for receiving a partial or maxi-mum ARC-CO payment for 2015 wouldagain be quite high, as well as potential foran increased 2015 PLC payment.

The current USDA estimate for the2014 MYA price for soybeans is $10.05 perbushel. Based on that estimate, there willnot be a 2014 PLC payment for soybeans.The estimated 2014 ARC-CO payment forsoybeans in Minnesota ranges from zero

to $50.00 per soybean base acre, withabout two-thirds of the counties gettingeither a partial or maximum payment,depending on the 2014 average countysoybean yield compared to the five-yearaverage yield. USDA has a preliminaryMYA estimate of $8.25-$9.75 per bushelfor the 2015 crop year, or an average of$9.00 per bushel.At that MYA price level,the potential for receiving a partial ormaximum ARC-CO payment for 2015would again be quite high; however, theMYA price would need to drop below

THIESSE, from pg. 18$8.40 per bushel beforeany 2015 PLC paymentswould be earned for soybeans.

It appears that most farm operators in major corn andsoybean producing states opted for the “most sure thing”with the new farm program choices — that for manyincluded fairly substantial 2014 ARC-CO payments forcorn, as well as 2014 ARC-CO soybean payments forsome producers, together with a high likelihood of sub-stantial ARC-CO corn and soybean payments again forthe 2015 crop year. It does not appear that producerswidely bought-in to the concept of taking the PLC pro-gram on some of their corn and soybean acres as a riskprotection tool against the really low commodity prices,or to sign-up for PLC in order to access the Supplemen-tal Crop Option insurance coverage. For farm operatorsalready utilizing 80 percent or 85 percent crop revenueinsurance policies, as many corn and soybean producersdo, the SCO option was not that attractive.

It appears that the PLC program choice was a bitmore popular with crops other than corn and soybeans,and in other areas of the United States, outside of theCorn Belt. Total PLC enrollment in the United Stateswas at 42 percent for wheat, 75 percent for barley, 32percent for oats, 33 percent for grain sorghum, 97 per-cent for canola, and nearly 100 percent for peanuts. Thelikelihood of PLC payments in the next few years forsome of these crops was higher with the PLC programthan with ARC-CO. For wheat, it kind of depended onlocation, average yields and price expectations, whenmaking the choice between PLC and ARC-CO.

The ARC-IC program did not attract much interestas a farm program option, with most major crops hav-ing one percent or less enrolled in the ARC-IC pro-gram. Some felt that using farm-level yields withARC-IC would be attractive, compared to the county-level yields used to calculate ARC-CO payments.

However, the fact that ARC-CO payments are madeon 85 percent of crop base acres, and ARC-IC pay-

ments are made on only 65 percent of crop baseacres, was probably a big factor in the low enrollmentin ARC-IC. The ARC-IC program also required farm-level yield documentation, and calculated paymentsbased on production and price levels for all programcrops together, rather than for individual crops.

It appears that many farm operators maximizedtheir corn base acres, based on their planted cornacres from 2009-12, rather than gearing their cropbase acres to more closely match their likely crop pro-duction acres for the coming years. Nationally, thecorn base acres increased by over 12.8 million acresfrom 2013 to 2014, which is an increase of approxi-mately 15 percent. Soybean base acres increased bynearly 4.7 million acres from 2013 to 2014, for anincrease of about 9 percent. Wheat base acresdropped by nearly 9.9 million acres 2013 to 2014, bar-ley base acres dropped by over 3.5 million acres, grainsorghum base dropped by over 2.6 million acres, andoats base dropped by almost 1 million acres. The rea-son that producers opted to maximize their corn baseacres, at the expense other crop base acres, was thatcorn base had a higher farm program payment poten-tial, especially for the 2014 and 2015 crop years.

Another interesting point from the USDA farm pro-gram enrollment summary was the number of produc-ers who chose to update their farm program paymentyields, when there was an advantage to do so. Thefarm program payment yields are used to calculatePLC payments, but are not used to calculate ARC-COpayments; however, farm program yields were updatedon two-thirds of the corn base acres that were enteredinto the ARC-CO program. The average increase in thefarm program corn yield from 2013 to 2014 was justover 27 percent. Most producers enrolled in the ARC-CO program updated the farm program yields for lateruse, in case future farm program payments are based

on the farm program yields.Bottom line

The high level of national and statewide enrollmentin the ARC-CO program for corn and soybeans in thenew farm program (2014-18) exceeded even the high-est estimates projected by the farm program ana-lysts. This high level of ARC-CO enrollment, espe-cially in the Midwest, suggests that many producersdid their “homework,” studied the options, and madethe best choice for their farms. It also suggests thatcash flow levels in corn and soybean production arevery tight in many areas, and that having the likeli-hood of fairly substantial ARC-CO payments in 2015(2014 crop year) and 2016 (2015 year) looked veryattractive to reduce the financial risk. The muchhigher than expected enrollment in the ARC-CO pro-gram for corn, together with the substantial increasein corn base acres, could increase farm programspending beyond the current Federal budget targets,which could create some issues in the future.

This column was written for the mar-keting week ending June 26.

There is no fear of running out of dairyproducts any time soon. The U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture’s latest Cold Storagereport shows sharp gains in May butterand cheese stocks. The butter inventorystood at 264.3 million pounds on May 31,up 31.9 million pounds or 14 percentfrom April and 54.8 million pounds or 26percent above May 2014.

American cheese, at 664.5 millionpounds, was up 20.4 million poundsor three percent from April and 8million pounds or one percent abovea year ago. The total cheese inventoryamounted to 1.1 billion pounds, up 23.6 millionpounds or two percent from April and 44 millionpounds or four percent above a year ago.

FC Stone dairy broker Dave Kurzawski viewedthe report as bearish versus expectations and wrotein his June 23 Early Morning Update that May but-ter stocks were at levels not seen since 2012. Heexplained that “We are not exporting butterfat any-where near the pace we were last year. Another fac-tor accounting for the inventory builds is that plantmanagers are diligently working to keep inventoriesin line to prepare for the late year demand season.”

We’re not drinking our milk either. April packagedfluid milk sales totaled 4.1 billion pounds, down 1.3percent from April 2014, according to USDA’s Dairy

Market News. (Sales were not adjusted forcalendar considerations).

April sales of conventional productstotaled 3.9 billion pounds, down 1.4 per-cent from a year ago; organic products, at206 million pounds, were down 0.2 per-cent. Organic represented about 5.0 per-cent of total sales for the month.

January to April, total packaged fluidmilk sales, at 16.7 billion pounds, weredown 2.0 percent from the same period ayear earlier. Year-to-date sales of conven-

tional products, at 15.9 billionpounds, were down 2.0 percent;organic products, at 825 million

pounds, were down 0.5 percent.■

Cash cheese lost more ground the last full week ofDairy Month. The Cheddar blocks closed Friday at$1.64 per pound, down six cents on the week and 38cents below a year ago. The barrels were down 3.5cents, to $1.6250, 38.5 cents below a year ago.Twenty cars of block and 29 of barrel traded handson the week.

FC Stone dairy broker Dave Kurzawski points outthat this is the sixth week in a row that barrelcheese has traded double digit volumes and heexpects more cheese to come. The ever laggingNational Dairy Products Sales Report-surveyed U.S.average block price was up 4 cents, to $1.7362, whilethe barrels averaged $1.7284, up 2.4 cents.

Milk is readily available for cheese manufacturersbut surplus milk priced below Class is less available,reports Dairy Market News. Plant schedules remainvery active and in a number of cases, are still at fullproduction.

More milk is entering the cheese vat due to schoolsclosing, putting pressure on prices, but cheese produc-tion will not follow normal seasonal declines, accord-ing to the June 19 Dairy and Food Market Analyst.

“With more-than-enough milk in the Midwest andNortheast, cheese plants will continue to operatenear capacity far-longer than typical. Cheesemakerswill be adding nonfat solids (dry milk, nonfat drymilk or condensed skim) back into the vat as soon ascapacity opens up. As you probably remember, ‘forti-fying the vat’ helped U.S. nonfat dry milk usage (orcheese plants purchasing for future use) to increase39 percent year over year during First Quarter 2015.Total cheese output averaged up 2.5 percent duringthe period.”

The good news, according to Dairy and Food Mar-ket Analyst, is that “domestic demand is growing tooand finally, at retail. After sluggish performance dur-ing the first 16 weeks of the year, retail naturalcheese sales shot up 6.1 percent (an additional 12million pounds) during the four weeks ending May17, according to International Research Institutedata; the largest year over year increase since Janu-ary 2014. One year ago, sales were off 2.7 percent.Processed cheese sales decreased just 2.2 percentthis period. Interestingly: Natural cheese sold at anaverage price of $5.26 per pound; down just 11 centsversus one year ago and up 8 cents from the previousfour-week period.”

Writing in the June 19 Cheese MarketNews, HighGround Dairy’s Eric Meyerprovided insight into the resilientcheese prices. He says “It was a widelyheld view that once global prices col-lapsed at nearly the same time the U.S.dollar exploded higher against a basketof currencies, dairy exports (includingcheese) would drop significantly.

“While volumes have trailed belowthe prior year, they were well above ourexpectations with total cheese downjust 10.5 percent through April versusthe prior year. Cheddar exports havebeen the laggard, down nearly 48 per-cent year-to-date and representing a 42million pound decline. ...

“However, the ‘fresh’ (think pizza andcream cheeses) and the ‘grated/pow-dered’ categories have seen strong per-centage gains to date with a sharpuptick in total cheese exports to SouthKorea (up 11.7 million pounds) andMexico (up 8.6 million pounds) versusJanuary through April 2014.

“Kudos to U.S. manufacturers andmarketers that have spent years build-ing long-term relationships that priori-tized product quality and consistencyover price. Those efforts paid off in 2015,a year that could have been much worsedue to negative currency fluctuations.”

He points out that2015 exported volumeshave represented 6.8percent of total cheese production inthe United States. “That’s a very smallmargin compared to nonfat drymilk/skim milk powder of which morethan 50 percent of total production wasexported in 2014,” Meyer says, “There-fore, domestic demand can have a sig-nificant influence over market direc-tion and it has!”

But, he warns that “History tells usdomestic cheese demand cannot sus-tain itself anywhere close to 8 percentgrowth so we fully expect those gainsto roll back to the mean. The highcheese price (and to a certain extent,dry whey) has kept farmgate milkprices above the cost of production,which means the signal has not yetbeen given to farmers to make less intothe summer months.”

■

Cooperatives Working Togetheraccepted 20 requests for export assis-tance this week to sell 3.261 millionpounds of cheese and 1.157 millionpounds of butter to customers in Asiaand the Middle East. The product hasbeen contracted for delivery throughNovember and raises CWT’s 2015cheese exports to 38 million poundsplus 30.4 million pounds of butter and20.1 million pounds of whole milk pow-der to 28 countries on five continents.

Looking candidly at the internationalmarket, Rabobank’s Dairy Quarterlywarns that the world is producing moremilk than the market needs.

“This imbalance is unlikely to be sub-stantially corrected in Second Half2015. The seeds of an eventual pricerecovery are now being planted, withproducers and consumers finally get-ting the signal that the world has toomuch milk and starting to respond tothat. But the price recovery itself isunlikely to emerge till late 2015 atbest, ensuring a difficult period formany of the world's producers,” saysTim Hunt, Rabobank global dairystrategist.

■

As to cost of production, the USDA’slatest data shows April total costs weredown slightly from March and downfrom April 2014.

Total feed costs averaged $11.88 perhundredweight, down 43 cents fromMarch, down 38 cents from February,and $1.35 below April 2014. Purchasedfeed costs, at $6.13/cwt., were down 66cents from March, down 72 cents from

February, and 72 centsbelow April 2014.Total costs, including

feed, bedding, marketing, fuel, repairs,hired labor, taxes, etc., at $23.05/cwt.,were down 69 cents from March, 59cents below February, and $1.42 belowa year ago. Feed costs made up 51.5

percent of total costs in April, com-pared to 51.9 percent the monthbefore and 54.1 percent a year ago.

MELROSE, Minn. – Rosie Spanierowns about 100 acres in Belgrade,Minn. She has 60 acres of woods, fruittrees and thousands of flowers. Withher husband, Urban, a long-timeboard member of the Stearns CountyConservation Board, she raised fivesons and a daughter on their farm ofabout 600 acres.

“I ended up doing all the farming inmy coveralls,” said Spanier. “I was aborn farmer and will always be afarmer.”

Spanier was one of eight womenwho attended the Women Caring forthe Land workshop in Melrose onMay 21. The workshop, sponsored bythe Women, Food and AgricultureNetwork and Renewing the Country-side, was hosted by Stearns County

Soil Water and Conservation Districtand other agencies.

Spanier, who rents 40 acres of crop-land to a farmer who gets chemicals onher fruit trees, came to learn how toconvince her renter to stop spraying.Another, Joanne Cymbaluk, camebecause her mother was recently wid-owed and managing a large tract offarmland.

Throughout the day-long workshop,women landowners learned about soilhealth and conservation practices. Inthe process, they connected with localresources and each other.

They met Lisa Baker who, with herparents, has turned her 15-acre prop-erty into a Community SupportedAgriculture farm called Baker’s Acresin Avon. The family markets vegeta-bles to Twin Cities restaurants and

local co-ops. They have eight acres inpasture for beef cows.

Baker’s dad, an old-fashioned farmer,works the land, tills and plows. Bakerneeds help explaining no-till in a way

that will make her dad say“A-ha.”

“I’m still learning so I can’toverride him,” said Baker.

She was an added resourceto the participants as a localcontact for the SustainableFarming Association.

“I’m here as a friend as wellfor all of you who want toreach out,” said Baker.Lessons

See WORKSHOP, pg. 25

WORKSHOP, from pg. 24last 30 to 40 years is the absolute vital-ness of the structure of the soil and thebiology of the soil,” said Schutte. “Wecan move toward less chemical use.”

For farming, improved soil structuremeans increased yields. Preventingsoil and nutrient runoff also improveswater quality.

The soil structure has been degradedin the last 40 years due to corn andsoybean crops and tillage — an artifactof our farming practices, said Eells.Using three canning jars, clumps ofdirt and netting from a frozen turkey,she demonstrated drainage. Sheencouraged the women to use thisexperiment to start the conversationthat something needs to change in ourlandscape.

Eells used three soil samples: worstsoil in the sacrifice zone where youpull in equipment; soil from a roadsideditch underneath grass; and most pro-ductive soil in the field. Each clumpwas placed over the net and water wasdumped over it.

“There’s our good black soil in a rainstorm washing away,” said Eells.

When Eells was growing up, herfather planted oats and hay — coolweather crops to cover the land afterharvest. Now the land is bare from Octo-ber to June and soil particles and nutri-ents can move in rain or snow melt.

The soil from under the grass did notwash away.

“Living roots, they glue that soil backtogether,” said Eells. “You can build thesoil back up.”

Participant Barb Niehaus, who has a30-acre farm east of Sauk Centre,Minn., is currently raising 25 calves.She also drives a school bus andnotices the farmland is disced and haslittle past crop residue. Water sits inpuddles on top of the hardened fields.The soil looks dead.

“I wonder if there are any worms inthat ground,” said Niehaus.

Soil that’s tilled and disced makes ahard pan cement layer. That’s why thewater sits on top when it rains. Byreducing tillage and planting covercrops, dead residue and plants willwick water into the soil.

“It drains better, but also holds on towater that is plant available in themost critical time of the year whenyour yield is being set. It holds ontowater and gives it up to your crops inAugust when your plants are fillingout,” Eells said. “That’s when you are

going to make money or not.”Tiling is an expensive solution for

farmers to improve drainage, but byimproving soil structure both heavyand sandy soils will be able to drainand hold water better.

“There is hope here, ladies,” saidNiehaus.Nutrient loss

Schutte compared soil to cake withfrosting. Where water is leaving thefield, the farmer discs over it so youdon’t see it. It’s like a cake with frostingwhen someone swipes a finger full. Yousmooth it out, but if you keep doing it,pretty soon all the frosting is gone.

“Same thing in your fields,” saidSchutte. “Even though discing makesthat soil disappear that soil is movingwhere it shouldn’t be.”

As soil particles erode, so too arenitrogen and phosphorous.

“That’s why we have the dead zone inthe Gulf of Mexico,” said Schutte.

One pound of phosphorous equals500 pounds of algae in our waters.

“I love the land,” said Linda Wenker.“I see water quality going down. Thegrasslands are so important.” Lindaand daughter Melissa Wenker came tolearn how to care for the family’s 80acres in Melrose and waterfront prop-erty on Morrison Lake.

“I care about farming and what’shappening to our water quality,” saidMelissa. “It’s emotionally draining andsad.”

The family has 80 acres in the Con-servation Reserve Program. They haveplanted grassland for pheasant habi-tat, but 20 acres of trees are beingoverrun with thistle and buckthorn.University of Minnesota Extension soilspecialist Jodi DeJong-Hughesdirected her to an herbicide that won’tkill Echinacea.

Linda, who grew up on a farm withfive brothers, hopes their conservationefforts will be an example to neighbor-ing farmers.

Soil biologyFive kingdoms that make up an

entire livestock community work inthe depths of healthy soil. This sys-tem of bacteria, fungi, worms andamoebas eat, defecate and die in abiological system that is gluingtogether the soil.

We have destroyed this system overthe years, explained Schutte.

WORKSHOP, from pg. 25“When we till we break up the fungi

and worms. We have compacted the soilso much that there’s no room for them,”she said.

The good news — cover crops put liv-ing roots in the soil longer and improvesoil biology.

Jill Sackett, University of MinnesotaExtension educator, talked cover cropsand resources including the onlineCover Crop Decision Tool from theMidwest Cover Crops Council, as wellas the book “Managing Cover CropsProfitably.”

Participant Lee Peltz, of Holdingford,Minn., was interested in learningabout cover crops that her goats couldgraze on, as well as plants that havemedicinal qualities. A cover crop seedcatalog and resource guide was avail-able at the workshop.

For farmers new to cover crops, Sack-ett recommends oats because they diein winter so come spring farmers donot need to spray and kill it before theyplant their cash crops.

“The use of cover crops affect every-thing,” said Sackett. “Start small onyour own farm.”

Start in drown-out spots, addedDeJong-Hughes.Field trip

In the afternoon, the group took a busto nearby CRP and cropland. In theCRP land, a large pit was dug in orderto view the soil profile. DeJong-Hughesjumped in.

“When I jump into a soil pit, it tells adifferent story,” she said.

When we plant corn or soybeans, weare opening a big wound in the landand deep tillage creates a biggerwound, said DeJong-Hughes.

She grabbed handfuls of soil shedescribed as sandy loam and showed

how it was building organic matterbeneath the grass surface. The womenfelt the rich soil.

“You can’t change the sand, silt andclay, but you can change the organicmatter in your soil. This is the IQ ofyour soil,” said DeJong-Hughes.

Schutte sloshed some soil in a bucketof water and to the top floated whitefoamy stuff — the biological glue thatholds the soil together.

“This is good, well-taken-care-of soil,”she said.

The rich topsoil of western Min-nesota was built by prairies and wasonce 40 feet deep. Today, the topsoil is10 to 12 feet deep, noted Schutte.

The group also held soil from a cornfield. The soil was covered with a hardcrust and the soil fell apart in theirhands.

“There’s nothing holding it together,”said DeJong-Hughes.Change

Women landowners can make a dif-ference in changing the landscape, saidSchutte, especially if they have tenantfarmers. She suggested offering a long-term lease of three to five years withthe caveat that they try cover crops.

Maybe the first year, the landownerpays for cover crop seeds and the nextyear the landowner pays half the cost.

After year three of cover crops, farm-ers get excited about soil improve-ments, and by year five, cover cropsbecome a religion as they reap therewards of lower production costs andhigher yields.

“There are many renters out therewho will rent the way you want themto,” said DeJong-Hughes. “You havechoices.”

Road tripCarol Schutte and Jean

Eells travel the countrysideto facilitate Women Caringfor the Land Workshops.They teach women howthey can make a differencein our farms andenvironment.

It all comes down to thesoil and they can improve it.

Schutte, a country girl from Clear Lake, Iowa,lives on five acres. A retired environmentalscience teacher, she would cry when she taughtclimate change and found students that didn’tcare.

She has discovered life after teaching byeducating women landowners on soil health.

Together, Schutte and Eells, who have becomefriends, hosted 35 meetings in seven statesacross the Midwest. When Schutte sees farmersplowing in the fall, clouds of dirt trailing them,“It’s like a knife to the heart,” she said.

As a program assistant for Women Food and

Agriculture Network, shepreaches land stewardshipand is encouraged by allthe women she’s met ather workshops.

“You feel some hope forthe future,” said Schutte.

Eells, of Webster City,Iowa, is a subcontractorwith E Resources Group.

Besides traveling and teaching, she also writesthe grants to secure funding.

The focus of this program is on womenlandowners because many widows inheritfarmland. In fact, nearly half the farmland in theUnited States today is owned by women.

“Women don’t talk about farming together.Conservation is even more restrictive,” saidEells.

Women Caring for the Land can help open upthe conversation between women, their farmingfamilies and tenants.

Festival of kitesThis week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondent Richard Siemers

Do you have a Back Roads story suggestion? E-mail editor@TheLandOnline.com or write to Editor, The Land, P.O. Box 3169, Mankato, MN 56002.

This summer will be the 25th Indepen-dence Day that kites speckle the skyabove Independence Park in Mar-

shall, Minn. For a quarter of a century alarge intergenerational crowd has gatheredin the 51-acre park for the Festival of Kites.

While other activities come and go, twostaple activities have anchored the commu-nity’s Fourth of July celebration — fire-works filling the sky after dark, and kitesfilling the sky in the afternoon.

Why kites?“Because the wind always blows,” said

Doug Goodmund, Assistant Director forCommunity Services in Marshall.

Goodmund said that the Marshall Hy-Veehad already been sponsoring a fireworksdisplay when the city joined with them tocreate a community celebration in the thennewly-developed Independence Park. Formany years, Goodmund and fellow staffersand their families put on the celebration. Inrecent years the Marshall Kiwanis Clubhas provided the workforce. Hy-Vee is still amajor sponsor.

The goal was a family-friendly celebrationwith free activities, so they decided to havea community kite fly. They purchased 500kites and handed them out.

People are encouraged to bring their ownkites, but the nucleus of the Festival ofKites is still the 500 free kites that are dis-tributed. They begin handing them out at aspecified time. Folks assemble the kites andlet the wind carry them aloft. Goodmundsaid the record time for handing out 500kites is eleven minutes.

The trees in the park were young andsmall for the first Festival of Kites. Theyhave grown to full-sized trees over 25 years,but the park is still utilized for the festival.

For the first 10 years they brought kiteexpert Bob Klein to demonstrate his “phe-nomenal kites,” as Goodmund describedthem. There are other activities each year,too, along with food vendors and a commu-nity band concert.

“F” is a failing grade in school, but this issummertime. On the Fourth of July in Mar-shall, “F” is a superior mark standing forFamily Fun, Food, a Festival of Kites, andFireworks. ❖
