A somewhat hastily called Uni-versity of Minnesota ExtensionService information meeting onprevent planting drew a crowd ofabout 125 farmers, crop consult-ants, and crop insurance reps tothe Hutchinson Event Center June19.As much as 8 inches of rain hadfallen in the previous 48 hours, andone day prior it was announcedthat prevent planting deadlines forMinnesota had been set back toJuly 15 because of extremely wetconditions throughout the state.

“The reason we held the meetingwas due to extremely wet conditionsthroughout this area,” said NathanWinter, Extension Educator forMcLeod and Meeker counties.“There are significant acres of cornand soybean not yet planted andprobably will not be planted in 2014.

“Some livestock producers havenot even harvested their first cut-ting of alfalfa due to the wet con-ditions. Farmers and agriculturalprofessionals have had somequestions pertaining to covercrops and planting emergency forages.”

Winter noted that there has beensome confusion regarding crop insur-ance rules, with farmers trying to findthe best way to move forward this year.

“We wanted farmers to be aware ofthe crop insurance rules and try to pro-vide them with options to make theirdecisions,” he said. “A big concern forarea livestock farmers is being able toproduce enough feed for their opera-tions. The crop insurance payment forprevent plant will not go very far tofeed their livestock in 2014 and 2015.”“Not fair for everyone”

A lively question-and-answer sessionstarted the meeting, including input fromJohn Larsen, with Rural CommunityInsurance Services of Danube, Minn.

“Prevent Planting is simply not fair foreveryone,” Larsen said. “For example you

can seed cover crop, but you cannot bale orgraze until Nov.1 or you will decrease yourPP payment to 35 percent. By the sametoken, you can plant corn as late as July 5and you can insure that crop, but only forthe 60 percent coverage payment.”

He emphasized the importance ofgetting your insured acres right. “Yourinsurance adjuster will be workingfrom your four-year history on yourfarm. Just make certain that you turnin a notice to your local agent.”

How about a July planting of corn, asa prevent planting option can that becut for silage? The answer, simply, is“no” — you can only bale or graze thatcorn, and not until after Nov. 1.

“There’s no doubt in my mind thatprevent planting favors the crop pro-ducer, with little assistance for live-stock producers who may desperatelyneed feed,” said Larsen.

Options if you need forageYou may plant a cover crop on prevent

planting acres for hay or grazing. How-ever your prevent planting paymentmay be significantly reduced if you har-vest that forage before Nov. 1. Producersshould check with their Farm ServiceAgency office and their crop insuranceagent for details, then pencil out the eco-nomics for their own enterprise to decidewhether or not this is a viable option.

There may also be restrictions on feed-ing a cover crop depending on which herbi-cides have been used. For example, cropstreated with glyphosate cannot be fed orharvested for eight weeks, while herbi-cides containing acetochlor — Harness,Surpass, etc. — have an 18-month restric-tion for grazing or harvesting for feed.

But information may still be lackingat FSA offices. An insurance agent inthe audience described the offices as“gun shy” until rules are published inthe Federal Register, and suggestedthat farmers shouldn’t wait for regula-tors to interpret the farm bill — “It’syour land, take care of it.”

“How do we plan when the final rulesmay not yet be set?” asked Jim Salfer,University of Minnesota extension dairyspecialist. He agreed that confusionreigns on prevent planting right now.

Page 2: THE LAND ~ July 4, 2014 ~ Southern Edition

The genuine sincerity of rural folks isnever more evident than when attendingfunerals. We’ve had three in ourOlivia/Bird Island/Danube communitiesthe past couple of weeks. The first a gen-uine Bird Island-area farmer who pro-duced a great family and great corn crops,too; then a co-op fuel delivery friend whointroduced me to the great fun of horserodeos, a growing Minnesota entertain-ment; and the latest my neighboringfarmer who valiantly did a 10-year battleagainst a rare disease but accepted thereality that though Earth had been goodto him, Heaven was his next residence.

Yes, always some tears, lots of hugs,and heartfelt sorrow at our country goodbyes toloved ones. But also very evident is the overallwarmth and friendship, even joy and smiles, as weshare our memories about the newly departed. Eccle-siastes 3 — “A Time for Everything” — often sets thestage for the farewell messages from the pulpit. Atthese beautiful country funerals you so vividly arereminded that there is no greater treasure than agood friend.

For my neighbor Rabi Peterson, his bulletinincluded the poignant verse “A Fallen Limb.” It fitsso well for all my lost friends ... and yours, too. Rabi,I know, would enjoy sharing:

A limb has fallen from the family tree. I keep hear-ing a voice that says, “Grieve not for me.” Rememberthe best times, the laughter, the song. The good life Ilived while I was strong. Continue my heritage, I’mcounting on you. Keep smiling and surely the sun willshine through. My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.Remembering all, how I truly was blessed. Continuetraditions, no matter how small. Go on with your life,don’t worry about fall. I miss you all dearly, so keepup your chin. Until the day comes we’re togetheragain. — Author Unknown

At all three of these funerals, Minnesota weatherput on its finest despite the several days of intensemoisture. So “funeral talk” involved the crop outlookas well. One can only speculate about the eventualimpact of what likely will be the wettest June inMinnesota history. We’re hearing of corn and soy-bean “good to excellent” ratings dropping 10 points inone week because of excessive moisture. Very likelythis latest “weather barometer” is causing more jit-ters in the commodity markets.

In a June 24 report, Bryce Knorr of Farm Futuressaid, “Grain futures are lower across the board thismorning, with new selling emerging overnight afterthe latest crop ratings showed only minor losses

from heavy June rains. Outside marketsare still nervous but could benefit fromwhat appear to be easing world tensions.

“Corn prices are weaker, as both old andnew crop futures hone in on last week’slows following disappointing bearishreversals yesterday.

“Monday’s Crop Progress showed deterio-rating conditions across the northwestCorn Belt in Minnesota, Iowa and SouthDakota, mostly offset by gains in NorthDakota and Indiana, chopping about 1

bushel per acre off yield potential nation-wide. Still, the average yield forecast byour model was strong at 169 bpa, enough

to produce a 14-billion-bushel-plus cropeven if some areas are lost completely.”

I’m questioning that 169 bushel per acre projec-tion. I’m thinking crop hurt over much of our UpperMidwest is a bit more than the trade is willing toadmit. Granted, these 80 degrees Fahrenheit dayswith bright sunshine accelerate growth immensely.As always, the Weather Man has the last at bat andso far he’s been carrying a big bat. So we’ll revisitthis topic later this season.

Talking weather often leads to wind talk ... andpossible hail storms, and gusts that can seriouslylean young corn plants, and of course wind energy. Asurprise, at least to those of us living in Minnesota,is the fact that Iowa now leads the nation in the per-centage of energy generated from wind. According tothe American Wind Energy Association, Iowa nowgenerates about 27 percent of its energy from windpower, ahead of South Dakota at 26 percent.

Texas leads the nation in total wind power, cur-rently generating enough wind energy to power 3.3million homes; that figure for Iowa is 1.4 millionhomes. Amidst those thousands of corn and soybeanfields in Iowa there is now 5,117 megawatts ofinstalled wind energy capacity, with 1,056megawatts under construction. All of that windenergy generated in Iowa has generated lots of jobs,too — up to 7,000 direct and indirect based on 2012data. Iowa wind companies include Siemens and TPIComposites, the maker of blades, and Trinity Struc-tural Towers, the maker of towers.

According to the Wind Energy Association, Iowalandowners receive about $16 million annually inlease payments for wind generation. This outfit alsosaid that American wind power topped 4 percent ofthe U.S. power grid for the first time last year, andhas delivered 30 percent of all new generating capac-

LAND MINDS

Page 3: THE LAND ~ July 4, 2014 ~ Southern Edition

LAND MINDS, from pg. 2ity for the last five years.

Perhaps ironic, perhaps intentional,but now let’s talk salaries of a fewelected officials. Did you know, thesalary of retired U.S. Presidents is$180,000 for life. Retired House andSenate members get $174,000 for life.The Speaker of the House picks up a$223,000 stipend for life. The averagesalary of an American teacher is$40,065. The average salary of a soldierdeployed to Afghanistan, or anywhereelse, is $38,000. This is simply aninsult to common sense.

More deplorable is the fact that thoseserving in Congress get to vote them-selves what their salaries should be plusother perks and benefits such as betterretirement plans than Social Security,better health plans, and an excessiveamount of paid vacation, plus they don’tcontribute a dime to any of it. Littlewonder approval of Congress and theworkings of our government are at all-time lows. Term limits have simply gotto happen in this U.S. Congress.

And Federal agenciesshould start applying “com-mon sense” when it comes to interpre-tation of their powers.

Get this: According to a proposed rulefrom the Food and Drug Administra-tion to ensure the safety of animal feedand pet food, brewers and distillers ofbeer and whiskey may soon have tosend their “spent grains” into landfills.Brewers and distillers, even somemembers of Congress, are up in arms.A growing number of cows likely aren’tso happy either.

Cows just happen to love chewingtheir cud after they fill their rumenwith leftover wet grain from makingalcohol. Apparently this relationshipbetween alcohol-makers and farmers isa centuries-old symbiotic partnershipthat even George Washington took partin, according to my source.

Cows love it so much that manyfarmers call it “happy hour” when theyfeed their animals spent grain,whether it’s the byproduct of bourbonor IPA. The arrangement makes beer,

bourbon and other alcoholproducers happy, too, asthey avoid paying to dis-

pose of massive quantities of “wetmash” while also helping reduce farm-ers’ feed costs.

On average, one gallon of beer willyield about a pound of spent grain. Onegallon of bourbon yields more thannine pounds. The Brewers Associationestimates that 80 percent of its mem-bers currently give away their spentgrain to livestock farmers. This is cer-tainly not the case with the Americanethanol industry, which markets virtu-ally all of its “spent grain” to livestockfarmers both here and overseas.

Obviously this challenging spring andearly summer has also challenged thewording and interpretation of the 2014farm bill, especially on sticky issues likeprevent planting. This monstrosity ofover 900 pages includes 12 titles andover 450 provisions. And because theend result of these massive pieces oflegislation is left in the hands of theregulator agencies to interpret and put

the proper language to these provi-sions, most farmers, crop managers,and ag retailers are still waiting.

At a recent prevent planting infor-mation meeting I attended in Hutchin-son, Harlan Anderson, one of myfavorite government curmudgeonssaid, “Right now our FSA offices aregun shy until the rules and regulationsare published in the Federal Register.

“My advice: It’s your land, take careof it. This new farm bill is slowing theprocess big time. In essence the rulesare being written by the regulators asthey determine what was meant invarious portions of this farm bill.Right now, it’s a mess.”

So continue on, farm friends. Pauseto enjoy the blessings of your Lord.And ponder these words: The problemAmerica faces today exist because thepeople who work for a living are nowoutnumbered by those who vote for aliving. Peace.

OPINION

Page 4: THE LAND ~ July 4, 2014 ~ Southern Edition

At the end of every fiscalyear, June 30, and the end ofevery calendar year, Dec. 31,readers claim this space tooffer their views of my views.

Take Mike C. from Texaswho, after I wrote a springcolumn on how climatechange will affect food pro-duction in 2050, sent a par-ody of a similar story withthe following opinionprinted in large capital let-ters in its side margin:

“You socialists Democ-rats will fall for anythingthat Hussein Obama and those wackoscientists send down the pike… Afterwe had one of the coldest winters onrecord, (you) conveniently changed‘global warming’ ‘to climate change.’”

A mid-February column on a U.S.Department of Agriculture investigationinto an earlier USDA investigation — Ididn’t make that up: a USDA investiga-

tion into a USDA investiga-tion — over shenanigans inthe federally-chartered beefcheckoff, brought a similaranalysis of my work fromJim S. in Montana.

“When it comes to thebeef industry, (Guebert’s)ignorance of the topic isreadily apparent… It’seasy to tell when he is writ-ing on a subject that’s overhis head, he resorts to sar-casm and name calling.”

One veterinarian threetime zones away in

Delaware agrees. After a mid-March col-umn on a pending USDA proposal to“allow poultry company employees to dothe job currently done by 800 or so USDAinspectors” on slaughter lines, Dr. K. e-mailed a knuckle-cracking complaint.

“I have become accustomed to ‘ill-informed articles’ in the news media,”it began, “but to be honest, I am sur-

prised to see such a blatant lack ofknowledge… Your article… is poorlyresearched verbiage. I read your arti-cle every week and will read it in thefuture with a ‘jaundiced eye.’”

A late-April column that outlined howBig Food and Big Ag have parted com-pany over the Humane Society of theU.S. and the People for the Ethical Treat-ment of Animals brought a smoking hote-mail from John Y. from, well, he didn’tsay. “PETA and HSUS are no friends ofmine! Both these organizations arepegged to the LEFT. They are anti-gun,anti-hunting, anti-fishing, and anti-meat. Do you understand what thatmeans to … ranchers and farmers? I do!”

One Illinois reader spent much of thelong winter and delayed spring writinge-mails to me pointing out my “obvi-ous” lack of skills as both a reporterand ag journalist. One mid-Aprilgrenade captures their tone well.

“As usual,” it starts, “your columnprovided little useful information tooperating farmers and farm crop-sharelandlords… I learn more in 15 minuteslistening to (a local radio station) than

I glean from reading a month’s worthof your columns…”

Moreover, he added, “Please, no morecolumns on your farm childhood andyour rural church. You are supposed tobe a provider of agricultural informa-tion, not a wannabe novelist.”

Most of 2014’s reader mail wasfriendlier. Several eagle-eyed readerswrote to thank me for posting links tocolumn source material on the “In theNews” page of the column’s website,www.farmandfoodfile.com.

“Thanks for setting what should be auniversal standard for all opinioncolumns,” wrote Ken S. from Indiana.

Full disclosure: I do not post thelinks. I e-mail them to the talented, no-fear team at Foxwell Digital, daughterMary Grace and son-in-law AndrewFoxwell, who post them. They do elec-trons; I do pronouns.

By RICHARD SIEMERSThe Land Correspondent

When the wind storm andtornado swept across Min-nesota on July 1, 2011, it toreapart pole sheds and leftother major damage behind. Italso had the nerve to take onan elevator on Gary Schmidt’sfarm west of Vesta, and whileit managed to tear off part of the roof, the stormnever really had a chance.

This is not just any old elevator, however. It’sa solid 85-foot commercial elevator that startedits life in Vesta.

Vesta has always been a collection point forgrain. When the town was incorporated 1900,three elevators stood there, according toSchmidt. The “Blue Elevator” burned down in1907. The Bingham or “East” Elevator was torntown in 1974 when the cooperative expanded itsstorage facility, adding two large grain legs and a 60-ton truck scale.

The third was called the “Red” Elevator, a 60-foot18,000 bushel building erected by the MinnesotaElevator Company. In 1954 the cooperative hadadded the 85-foot 36,000 bushel building.

Vesta continued to grow as a collection point, andin 2000 Vesta Farmers Elevator (now MeadowlandsFarmers Co-op) constructed a million bushel bin.The two remaining wooden elevators had to go andwere slated for demolition. Given their solid woodconstruction, it would be an expensive project —tearing down, hauling away, and burning.

Schmidt said he hated to see the 1899 elevatordemolished, given its long history in the area. Heapproached the company about acquiring it.

“They said they wanted to get rid of both of them,”Schmidt said. “The larger one had uses.”

What started as an interest in history moved into apractical way to have storage on his farm. Becausethe Co-op was saving the demolition costs, they gavethe two elevators to Schmidt and even helped withthe moving cost.

The move took place in January of 2001 and natu-rally drew onlookers. The mover jacked up the build-ings and put wheels under them. His pressure gaugeshowed the larger building weighed 120 tons. They

headed west of Vesta on County Highway 30 for twomiles and turned off on a gravel road. With a steadypace, the trip lasted fifteen minutes.

Given the height of the buildings, raising thepower lines was not an option. Ahead of the eleva-tors, one crew cut the power lines. A second crew fol-lowed and put the lines back together.

The 1899 elevator was placed on a building siteowned by Schmidt’s son. It rests on a hillside,

The 1954 elevator turned in at Schmidt’s farmsiteand was placed on a foundation that is eight inchesof cement six feet into the ground, “sitting on solidclay,” Schmidt said. “There are foundation wallsthat crisscross underneath so that each bin sits on acomplete four-sided foundation. In addition, thereare six posts under each bin.”

The foundation was designed to hold the 120-tonbuilding plus the added weight of 36,000 bushels ofcorn.

While it is covered with tin, the elevator is solidwood.

“It’s what they call cribbing,” Schmidt said. “Thereare 10 feet of 2x8 boards on the bottom, then 40 feetof 2x6 boards, and the rest 2x4 boards, all laid flat-wise, building up an inch-and-a-half at time, andthey’re nailed about a foot on each side, staggered, soabout every six inches on one side or the other

there’s a spike going down. It’s solid.”Schmidt was told it is one of the safest places to be

in a tornado. No doubt the 2011 storm realized that,so it tore off part of the roof and moved on. That wastrouble enough.

“It’s hard to find people who are willing to come upthere and help me,” Schmidt said with a grin. “Thereare very few days even I can work up there. Wewatch the cottonwood tree. If the leaves are flutter-ing, it’s too windy. If the leaves are just hangingthere, quick, get up and do something.”

An interest in history and practicality combined tobring these two elevators to the 320-acre farm ofGary and Barb Schmidt. He used PCV pipe to addthe “Schmidt” name and the year “1905” to the stor-age elevator, indicating the year his great-grandfa-ther purchased the farm.

Now the Schmidt farm and its 85-foot tall elevatorwill continue their history together. ❖

The ThronsonsGary, Minn.

Jared Thronsonhas been spending alot of time getting toknow his newsprayer.

When The Landspoke with him themorning of June 25he had sprayed his winter wheat andcorn, and was optimistic that fieldconditions would allow him to getback in the sprayer to do beans thatafternoon.

Located in northern Minnesota,Thronson knows the two and a halfinches of rain that fell at this farm theprevious week was nothing comparedto what southern Minnesota hadreceived. Nonetheless, the rain he got,and the forecast for the weekend, wasnot exactly giving his crop a boost inthe right direction.

Wheat is showing stress due toexcess moisture, said Thronson — it’s“getting yellow color to it because it’stoo wet.” He knows that field willneed an aerial sprayer.

Thronson has “one field of corn thatlooks real good,” while the other haslighter green corn. That one is a corn-on-corn field; Thronson suspects itcould use some extra nitrogen. Thesoybeans are “overall pretty good.”

He is already thinking harvest. “I’mtrying to get my combine out andready to go for winter wheat harvest.”Thronson thinks he should be outcombining winter wheat in about amonth, as it is already flowering andheading out. This will be a newadventure for Thronson; he’s nevergrown winter wheat before.

As he looks out on his crop he’shappy to report there’s “not too muchto complain about.” Considering howthis year’s growing season has gonefor many farmers across Minnesotaand Iowa, that statement says a lot.

The WiltsesHerman, Minn.

Rain has kept things pretty quiet onDennis Wilts’ farm. The Land spokewith Wilts June 25 as he reported he

hadn’t been able toget in the field tospray in over twoweeks. That’s becausethe rains came; sixinches of rain to beprecise. All of thatmoisture caused“some of the corn toyellow,” he said. Some

of the crop has been drowned out.While he’d like to have a do-over,

Wilts said that “nothing has dried outto plant (and) it won’t be dried out intime to replant.” More rain was in theforecast: “They’re talking about twoinches by Sunday,”

Right now, he is looking for somesunshine instead of rain clouds. “Wedon’t need any more rain for a while.”At the very least, he said, “if we do geta bunch, (hopefully) it won’t come allat once.”

Wilts’ brother was able to get in thefield this day and get some sprayingdone — a spray plane has been hiredto do more soon from the air. “We’llhave a lot of spraying,” Wilts said.Corn, soybeans and sugar beets are allon the docket. Trying to beat the rainand get the crops sprayed is the nameof the game so far this summer.

Looking at the positive in the midstof rain, wet fields and yellowed crops,Wilts said that at least they’ve had nohail or truly severe weather. He shouldprobably should knock on wood after

that statement ... just to be safe.

The HoffmansNew Ulm, Minn.

Sometimes a roadtrip is just what aproducer needs whenrain puts a stop tothe field work. That’sexactly what DonHoffman was onwhen The Landspoke with him on June 26.

Having left the soggy New Ulm area,Hoffman and his wife, Diane, wereheaded to Indianapolis and enjoying adriving adventure along the way.Speaking from the town of Ottawa, Ill.— which Hoffman called a “rustic townwith low humidity” — he gave anupdate on what’s going back at thefarm.

They’d had 10.5 inches of rain thusfar in June, though there hadn’t beenadditional precipitation in nearly aweek. The corn is “looking better,” saidHoffman, meaning that “some of whatwas yellowing is getting color again.”Even with the corn making a come-back, “I’m sure that we lost 4 or 5 per-cent to drown-out.” Meanwhile, thesoybeans were “pretty good, actually,”although “they, too, have some of thatyellowing color.” Overall, he said,they’re “growing nicely.”

In the barn they’re “about to startcalving a little bit again,” said Hoff-

man. That “should turn milk produc-tion up again.”

As they drove along the Illinois farmfields he admired what is growing outthere. “The crops down here look excel-lent.” With corn four feet high, “it looksgood everywhere you look.” The cropsout on Hoffman’s fields may not winany beauty pageants right now, they’restill coming along — and in this crazygrowing season, he’ll take it.

The HagensLake Mills, Iowa

Heavy rains haveworn out their wel-come at the Hagenfarm.

“We got 6 incheslast week; soaked ‘erdown pretty good,”Jim Hagen said. The Land spoke withhim on June 25 as he was actually feel-ing some relief — “we missed out on alot of the huge flooding.”

While severe flooding wasn’t an issuein Hagen’s fields, rain nevertheless diddrown out some of his crops.

He reported that he had finishedreplanting 10 acres of soybeans due tothe large amount of rain. The storms,while not severe, “blew pretty hard onthe corn,” Hagen said, but thankfullythe corn didn’t snap. He said that it’s“getting late to replant now,” so theweather had better behave and lend ahelping hand to what’s still growing.

With the rain came the heat. “We’vegotten pretty good heat units here,”Hagen said. Heavy rains were forecastfor the weekend but if they luck outand it stays away, he said it would be“really good corn growing weather.”

Hagen hopes to finish up sprayingbeans in the next few days, as well asdoing “some scouting in the fields tosee if we need to put any fungicide on.”He said that “it’s easier to kill theweeds right now as they are growingfast.”

He estmated that 99 percent of hiscrops “look real good.” Focusing on thebig picture, Hagen said he is gratefulfor that 99 percent and is trying not beoverly concerned about the one percent.

Probably not a bad way to look at life... and farming. ❖

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

Despite continuingas the No. 1 dairystate in the UnitedStates, California hasthe most intensewater challenges.

“I think even Califor-nia people think theyhave peaked in dairy production with nomore expansion,” said Jim Salfer, Uni-versity of Minnesota Extension Servicedairy specialist. “Part of that is water;part is the constant challenges on envi-ronmental issues out there; part is sim-ply land prices. A lot of California dairyfarmers now have ‘satellite operations’in other areas, Idaho in particular. Mostof the expansion of dairying in Idahocomes from California dairy farmers

seeking ‘greener pastures.’”Approximately half of the water used

by California dairy operations comesfrom ground water which, as yet, is notso tightly regulated, according toSalfer. But it’s the reductions in moun-tain water that’s beginning to greatlyimpact the California dairy industry.

“Also, if we continue to have highcrop prices,” he said, “that will becomea bigger challenge out there since somuch of their feed stocks are shippedin. But they’ve had a big dairy indus-try for a long time; they’re smart peo-ple and they will continue to be amajor player in this industry.”

Meanwhile, in Minnesota, Salfernoted that production per cow in thestate, even with near-record milkprices, is down a bit this year.

“Most of that is simply because the2013 forage crop was not the best qual-ity,” he said. “But the Minnesota dairyindustry is pretty stable. The past six orseven years we’ve been growing 1 per-cent to 2 percent per year and that’slikely to continue, partly because robotsfor smaller dairy operations have been aGodsend.They continue being dairy pro-ducers because they like cows and it’snow a much easier task. This tends toramp up production per cow somewhat.”

Another reason for slower growth ofthe Minnesota dairy business are thehigh crop prices the past few years.

“Larger producers have tried to getextra land so they have more feedsources without having to pay highcorn prices,” said Salfer. “They ration-alize that ‘I’ve got the manure anyway.So I want to minimize my risks on

these high crop prices and buy land ifI can to raise more of my own feed.’”

Will the record high milk prices startpricing dairy products out of the con-sumer market? Salfer acknowledged thatdemand has dropped a bit, especially forfluid milk. He’s confident milk prices willstay strong right into this fall season,andpoints out that dairy markets, like somelivestock markets, especially pork prod-ucts, are determined by exports.

“We’re now exporting 15 to 18 percentof our milk.Ten years ago our net exportswere essentially zero,” Salfer said. “Somuch of the demand is driven by exportmarkets, which are driven by currencyexchange rates; in essence the economyof these foreign buyers. But note that asthe rest of the world becomes wealthierthey like animal products. And that is areal plus for the U.S. dairy industry.” ❖

Jim Salfer

PREVENT, from pg. 1Weather “what-ifs”

If it gets hot and dry, Salfer said thata brown midrib sorghum or sorghum-sudan grass might be a better choice.Of course, no one knows what’s aroundthe corner, weather-wise, and withplenty of moisture in the ground, thencorn might still be the best bet.

Salfer is a long-time veteran of theMinnesota agriculture landscape and,

like others, wonders about the hugeprecipitation much of the region expe-rienced this late spring/early summer.

“If this is the new normal of Min-nesota weather,” he said, “we reallyneed to do some research on cropchoices, when to plant, yield projec-tions based on late plantings, etc. Tome at least in central Minnesota this isby far the ‘worst’ planting season wehave ever experienced.” ❖

Page 12: THE LAND ~ July 4, 2014 ~ Southern Edition

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

“For the livestock farmers your issue isthat you need feed. The dollars from pre-vent planting payments really mean noth-ing to you,” said Cokato-area alfalfa pro-ducer Harlan Anderson, never one tomince words.

“So my recommendation is ignore thePP program and plant full season corn atregular populations, even if planting in July. Real-ize you may end up chopping the crop since it’s notlikely to produce mature grain, but you will have ahigh-sugar corn, high-protein corn and I’m confi-dent it will taste better to your cattle than a bunchof ‘prevent planting’ paperwork.”

Anderson was one of about 125 farmers, crop con-sultants, insurance reps and others who partici-pated in a June 19 session at Hutchinson, Minn.,Event Center and hosted by Nathan Winter, Uni-versity of Minnesota Extension Educator forMcLeod and Meeker counties.

Evident during the two-hour question and answersession was the confusion, uncertainty, and misun-

derstanding over just what the prevent plant-ing program was all about.

“I wouldn’t be concerned with July planting,”Anderson said. “Those seeds will germinate,emerge and grow so quickly. Soils will bewarm, there’s going to be plenty of sunshine,everyday photosynthesis will be going on.Sure, the later you plant, the less you yield.But even with half the yield that’s better thantrying to figure out where you’re going to find

your feed next fall if you have none from your ownfarm.”Farm bill foibles

Commenting on the new farm bill, Anderson,strongly critical of Federal legislation guiding agri-culture, said his sources tell him it will be intoDecember before all the rules, regulations anddetails are fully understood. And that applies to pre-vent planting programs where local Farm ServiceAgency offices remain “gun shy” about disclosingdetails because details aren’t yet printed in the Fed-eral Register.

“I thought they should not do a new farm bill,” hesaid. “And it apparently was within just a few hours

of not passing but last-minute lobbying by all thefarm group interests pushed through passage eventhough they don’t know what they passed. Now it’staking months to figure out exactly what is in this900-page document.

“Hopefully this is the last farm bill because asdetails spill out, regulators and now farmers are con-fused with what they are seeing and hearing. Detailson this latest prevent plant program are a goodexample. I see this as the dumbest, most confusing,most devastating farm legislation that I have everseen.”Alfalfa know-how

A long-time alfalfa producer primarily for theequine population around the Twin Cities, Andersonknows the characteristics of this legume when toomuch water is the situation.

He said alfalfa doesn’t like wet feet so low-lyingareas of his cropland are seeded to reed canary grasswhich takes wet feet in stride. That quality has beentested recently on Anderson Farms.

“We now have a lot of lakeshore property that wedidn’t have four days ago,” he said. “I heard thismorning this is the most June rain we’ve had since2002. In 2002, ’03, and ’04 we probably had 100 acresunder water each season. But with alfalfa we didn’thave any erosion; we still had the land and it wasn’tin the Gulf of Mexico.

“Since that time we keep all our low ground in reedcanary grass which we grind up and incorporate intoour horse feed. We normally get three cuttings fromthe reed; this year probably only two. Because we’regrowing for the equine industry we let our alfalfa gofull bloom which gives us high fiber, low energy andlow protein. Full bloom yields more tonnage andmeets the needs of our clients. Horse people are par-ticular.” ❖

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

Wet weather has generated interest in bigger tireswith more flotation to carry crop sprayers. Obviouslydual tires provide much more flotation and moretraction, both key in making wet fields doable.

Chris Hanson, sales rep for Keltgen Tall Tires ofOlivia, Minn., indicated growers in both 20/22-inchrows and 30-inch rows were ramping up with duals.“It boils down to more flotation, better stability, sim-ply more rubber on the ground,” he said.

“Tall tires for tractors have been our mainstay forthe past 20-plus years but the last couple of yearswe’ve had lots of activity with crop sprayers, both thebig self-propelled and pull-type units. And in today’sworld everyone is spraying more so this has beengreat business for us.”

Another expanding market for Keltgen Tall Tiresis the rapidly expanding size of combines.

“Machinery keeps getting bigger,” Hanson said.“These new combine heads, especially if equippedwith chopper heads and 400 bushel and larger graintanks, are incredibly heavy. So we build the specialrims and size them up with the rubber. It’s a biggertire option than what’s offered from the factory andwe feel a stronger package, too.”

Hanson said the tougher corn stalks of today’shybrids are a challenge to field tires, saying “stubble

damage” has become a very large issue in the worldof farm tires. Even soybean stalks have become anissue as breeders develop stronger stems to “carrymore bushels” per acre. Many soybean growers alsoharvest their fields at an angle to the soybean rows,thus exposing tires to even more stubble.

“What makes us unique,” said Hanson, “is thatwe’re offering a product that you can’t get from thefactory, be that red machinery or green machinery oryellow or whatever the brand name of the equipmentmanufacturer.”

He said there are only a couple of tractor and farmequipment rim manufacturers in the United Statesbut some outfits buy the various factory pieces andthen resell them as special custom rims. “They’retaking the cookie cutter stuff and reselling as cus-tom made. But that’s a stretch,” Hanson said. “Wemake our own steel centers. We buy blank rims andreconfigure to fit equipment units as needed. Oursare not the ‘cookie cutter’ rims that you get fromJohn Deere, Case-IH and such.”

They’re particular about the rubber that gets fit-ted on the rims they build. “I don’t like to have prob-lems in the field so we always equip with the bestrubber,” he said. “But you live with reality — agri-culture puts equipment in a hazardous environ-ment which often is running over stuff damaging tothe rubber regardless the brand. We predominantlyare selling Michelin and Firestone. If a customerrequests, we also do Goodyear/Titan. We can sell thecheaper generic tire but if it’s got our Tall Tire labelon the wheel we want a totally good setup for thatcustomer.”

A good agricultural economy the past three to fouryears has translated to good business for KeltgenTall Tires. “When equipment is moving we’re busy,”said Hanson. “Quite often a farmer buys a usedtractor with wide rubber but he wants narrow. Wecan be very specific when it comes to meeting thedemands of any particular farmer.” ❖

Local Corn and Soybean Price Index

Grain prices are effective cash close on July 1. 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 AnglesManaging cashflow projections

I’ve been thinking a lot about the extremely low tonegative margins facing the 2014 and 2015 corncrops when using the December 2014 and 2015Chicago Board of Trade prices ($4.43 and $4.58 as ofDec. 26, 2014).

If these slim to negative marginscontinue to persist this fall andnext spring we will start to seeworking capital positions — (Cur-rent Assets - Current Liabilities)and Term Debt Coverage Ratios((Net Farm Income from Opera-tions + Non-Farm Income + Depre-ciation + Term Interest Expense –Income Taxes – Family Living) /(Term Principal Payments + TermInterest Expenses)) — tighten upfor a larger pool of grain farmers.

Dramatically lower year-endprices on our Dec. 31, 2013 bal-ance sheets started tightening up many producers’working capital positions last winter. Couple thiswith a second straight year of tight margins, andcash positions will continue to deteriorate.

So, what are we actively doing today about this sit-uation? In order to get our arms around this prob-lem we need to stay engaged in our 2014 and 2015cash flow projections. We need to manage the thingswe can control:

• Manage your 2014 income tax situation wisely.It’s extremely important for all producers to stay ontop of this. Make sure capital purchases are for theright reasons and don’t put your Term Debt Cover-age Ratio below a 1:1 situation because you bor-rowed funds to save tax dollars.

Grain OutlookCorn acres

water-loggedThe following market analysis is for the week end-

ing June 27.CORN — Nearby July corn dropped nearly a dime

to begin the week, posting a key reversal lower on thechart as a result, and spent the remaining four trad-ing days in a tight, sideways 61⁄2 cent range. The Septemberand December contracts alsoposted key reversals lower, butspent the balance of the weekregaining half of Monday’s loss.

July corn was down 10 1⁄4cents for the week at $4.43 perbushel, September fell 6 cents to$4.42 1⁄4, and December dropped4 3⁄4 cents to $4.47 1⁄4 perbushel. Weather was discussed atlength as the trade tried to put afigure on how many acres wereunder water and how overallyields would be affected.

Adding pertinence to the discussion is how thewater-logged acres will or will not be accounted for inthe June 30 Planted Acreage report. Most of the flood-ing came after June 1, so they shouldn’t be included.Once the report is released, look for analysis to try andput a value on the “lost” or “damaged” acres. Currentforecasts look very favorable for crop developmentwith no excessive heat for pollination in the outlook.

When traders return from the Fourth of July holi-day, pollination will be well underway in the CornBelt. Corn conditions declined 2 percent to 74 percentgood/excellent as of the June 22 report.

The range of estimates for corn stocks as of June 1is huge, from 3.046 billion to 3.950 billion bushels.

Livestock AnglesLivestock markets

are on fireAs we finish the month of June the livestock mar-

kets are on fire. New contract highs in the futures oflive cattle, feeder cattle and hogs and all time highsin the cash cattle and feeder cattle markets wereaccomplished entering the end of the month.

Sometimes it appears that thereis no end in the cattle rally, how-ever as with every market it willend when no one expects it. Therally started with the decline innumbers or the decrease in supply.

The end of the market will comefrom the other side of the equa-tion, the decline in the demandfor beef. When this takes placewould be merely a guess by all theprognosticators and analysts.Until this event takes place themomentum and bullish attitudeswill dominate the market.

From a fundamental standpoint, the higher thebeef cutout climbs, the better chance that there willbe resistance to the higher prices paid by the con-sumers. That has been evident each time the cutouthas surpassed the $240.00 cwt. level the movementof boxed beef has reacted with fewer loads traded.

From the producer’s point of view, caution shouldbe the main factor in their marketing scheme. Cau-tion toward protecting the gains achieved during thiscurrent bull move in the anticipation and reality thatthis move will not last forever.

The hog market has seen prices paid for live inven-tory by the packers improve dramatically in the pastfew weeks. The decline in hog numbers seems to bethe factor that has turned the market from a decline

Page 16: THE LAND ~ July 4, 2014 ~ Southern Edition

NYSTROM, from pg. 15The average prediction is 3.722 bil-lion bushels versus last year’s 2.766billion bushels on June 1. If correct,the corn stocks number would be thehighest in four years. Planted cornacreage is estimated at 91.725 millionacres. This compares to the workingU.S. Department of Agriculture num-ber of 91.7 million acres and lastyear’s 95.365 million planted acres.

In each of the last four years, theJune acreage number has not variedfrom the March number by more than1 million acres. In six of the last sevenyears, the June acreage number hasbeen higher than the trade estimate.

The International Grain Councilraised their world corn production esti-mate by 8 million metric tons to 963mmt. The U.S. attaché to China cuttheir 2014-15 feed usage to 158 mmtcompared to USDA’s 162 mmt number.They put 2014-15 ending corn stocks to82.1 mmt when the USDA is carryingit at 78.1 mmt. The world has plenty ofcorn and the opinion is that very littlehas been sold. Large supplies shouldweigh on the market into new crop andbeyond. If pollination weather isuneventful, prices should trend lower.

Weekly export sales of12.7 million bushelswere very good when weonly need 10 million bushels of sales perweek to hit the USDA target of 1.9 bil-lion bushels. Total export commitmentsstand at 1.850 billion bushels or 97 per-cent of the forecast with 10 weeks left inthe marketing year. The USDA forecastlooks like a doable number.

Weekly ethanol production fell to938,000 barrels per day from lastweek’s record 972,000 bpd. Since thefirst of the marketing year, ethanolproduction is averaging an annualizedgrind of 5.090 billion bushels, slightlyhigher than the USDA’s 5.050 esti-mate. Argentina’s corn harvest contin-ues to be plagued by wet conditionswith harvest reported at 49 percentcomplete versus 77 percent last year.

OUTLOOK: By the time many of youare enjoying this article, the USDA’sPlanted Acreage and Grain Stocks as ofJune 1 reports will be being digested bythe market. Depending on what thenumbers indicate, all bets may be off forprice direction. The reports do coincidewith month and quarter end position-ing, as well as first notice day for theJuly contract. This means that begin-

ning June 30 the Julycontract is not subject todaily price limits. From

2004-13, July corn has closed higher theday of June reports four times andlower six times, so there is no good cor-relation of price direction based on thelast 10 years. As for the Fourth of July,December corn has closed lower sixtimes out of the last 10 years the dayafter the holiday and higher four times.Let’s get the reports and the holidaybehind us so we can once again focus onpollination weather.

SOYBEANS — After strugglingearly in the week, old crop soybeansmade their move higher this week oncethe weekly export sales report was pub-lished. This week’s sales of 11.7 millionbrought total export commitments forthe year to 1.671 billion bushels, 71 mil-lion bushels over the yearly projection.This was the largest single week salesnumber since late February. In order tokeep the export line under the USDA’s1.6 billion bushels forecast, we needconsistent weekly net cancellationsthat average 7.1 million bushels for thelast ten weeks of the marketing year.Net cancellations have only occurredonce thus far in the marketing year,and it was only for a 600,000 bushel netcancellation. We normally see 67 mil-lion bushels of old crop sales rolled overinto new crop. Could this year see a big-ger rollover? New crop sales wereimpressive at 16.8 million bushels,bringing total new crop commitmentsto 395.5 million bushels versus 442.8million at this time last year. Meal saleswere also very good with 66.3 tmt forold crop and 187.1 tmt for new crop.Meal futures are up about $20 per tonfrom recent lows.

Weather remains mostly favorable forthe crop, except for the areas that havereceived excessive rainfall. It’s still a lit-

tle early to make a definite determina-tion on how many acres will not beplanted or how yields may be affected.This should result in another week ofcondition declines, but since we startedso high we have some room to give. Soy-bean ratings fell 1 percent to 72 percentgood/excellent as of June 22.

The June 1 stocks estimate is 378 mil-lion bushels with a range of guessesfrom 334-440 million bushels. If theestimate is realized, it will be lowestsoybean stocks in June in 37 years!Last year, there were 435 millionbushels in storage on June 1. The aver-age trade prediction for planted acres is82.154 million acres. The USDA’s cur-rent working number is 81.5 million.Last year we planted 76.533 millionacres to soybeans. Any changes to previ-ous year production won’t come untilthe September Grain Stocks report.Reports from two major seed companieshinted what the trade is anticipating,that soybean seed sales are up and cornseed sales are down this year.

OUTLOOK: Weather will dominatedaily highlights once the reports arebehind us, but other factors will come intoplay as well. Included in those factors arethe results of the stocks and acreagereports, competition in the feed chain fromDDGs, speed of soybean imports, andexport sales. If there are no report sur-prises or threatening weather, the path ofleast resistance is a grind lower for newcrop. In the last 10 years (2004-13) on theday of June reports, July soybeans haveclosed higher three times and lower seventimes. For the Fourth of July holiday,November beans have closed lower sixtimes the day after the Fourth and higherfour times out of the last ten years.

This material has been prepared by asales or trading employee or agent ofCHS Hedging Inc. and should be con-sidered a solicitation. ❖

Old crop soybeans making a move higher

TEALE, from pg. 15in prices to a decent recovery.

The demand for pork product has alsobeen a positive in this recent upturn inthe prices.The comparison of competitivemeats prices, pork is a very good value.However like everything considered, ifpork cutouts increase too much thedemand for pork could decline.

When it comes to the supply, theUSDA released the Quarterly Hogsand Pigs report on June 27. The find-ings were as follows: All hogs and pigs95 percent; Kept for Breeding 100 per-

cent; and Kept for marketing 95 per-cent. The March- May pig crop 95 per-cent and the pigs per litter 95 percent.

This report was seen as friendly as allmajor categories were below expecta-tions, and is likely reflecting the effects ofthe porcine epidemic diarrhea virus onthe entire hog herd. With hog numberslower, the prospects for higher pricesbegins to increase in possibilities.

Producers should not forget that thefact that demand will be the determiningfactor in where the market eventuallygoes and should protect inventories whenthe opportunity presents itself. ❖

KRIENER, from pg. 15• Corn/soybean rotations? Continue

to review your 2015 projections andmake sound decisions on your 2015planting intentions.

• Consider marketing strategies toprotect your bottom side revenue. Ifyou’re not communicating with amarketing expert now is the time tosearch one out.

• Manage all of your expense cate-gories. It’s extremely difficult to savelarge dollars in any one expense cate-gory. We all need to do our homeworkand save a little bit in each and everyexpense category. Diligently work onplans that will help you achieve thesesmall expense category wins and theoutcome will surprise you.

• If not already reviewing and dis-cussing rental contract arrangements,now is the time to start the process.

Rental arrangements will determineour largest input expense and will alsodetermine landlord rate of returns. Dueto the past strong grain profitability wehave had a dramatic rise in rental rates.The upper-end rental arrangementsworked with proper management butwith the significantly lower prices fac-

ing us today our margins on these farmshave pushed significantly belowbreakeven. Landlords and tenants needto find a middle ground on these farms.An extremely good option is a flexiblelease rental agreement.

We started to see rents soften thisspring and with tight margins and wecan all assume that this trend will con-tinue. Now is the time to be proactive asa landlord or a tenant and explore flexi-ble leasing options. Landlords who takea smaller rent upfront today will helptheir tenant stay closer to breakevenwith the ability to profit greatly if grainprices move up dramatically.

The past has proven that we are in ahighly volatile grain market and withvolatility comes opportunity. Don’t beshort-sighted today and miss out ontremendous upside in future years.Starting a strong partnership betweenlandlord and tenant today will help bothparties achieve their long-term goals.

This column was writtenfor the marketing weekending June 27.

Cash cheese pricesstrengthened the last weekof June Dairy Month butgave back some of thegains on Friday. The Ched-dar blocks closed at $2.02per pound, after hitting$2.04 Thursday, but arestill up 2 cents on the weekand 38.25 cents above ayear ago when theydropped 8.75 cents.The barrels, aftereight consecutive ses-sions of gain took them to $2.05 on Thursday, backeddown to $2.01 Friday, unchanged on the week, but41.25 cents above a year ago when they plummeted12 cents. Fourteen loads of block and four of barreltraded hands on the week. The U.S. average NationalDairy Products Sales Report-surveyed block priceaveraged $2.0320, up 1.7 cents. The barrels averaged$2.0131, down 0.5 cent.

Some Wisconsin cheesemakers have been offeredmilk at $5 under the class price but are also seeingpeak levels of milk intake, according to USDA’s DairyMarket News. Many are unable to take advantage of

the surplus milk because, as one cheese plant managersaid, his operation is already scheduled seven days aweek and can’t physically make any more cheese.Cheese buyers, looking for blocks or barrels this week,were told by many manufacturers that no cheese is

available, due to existing commitments. A few cheeseplants are dipping into inventory to make sales. Inven-tories are termed tight to comfortable.

Summer means lower milk production ratesMIELKE, from pg. 17

Cash butter soared tolevels not seen in over adecade, closing Friday $2.39 per pound,up 15.5 cents on the week and a whop-ping 96.25 cents above a year ago whenit dropped 7.25 cents. The all-timerecord high is $2.81 per pound in Sep-tember 1998. Only four cars were soldthis week. NDPSR butter averaged$2.1675 per pound, down 1.6 cents.

Butter prices re-surged on a bullishmarket as butter sales continue abovehistorical trends resulting in tighterthan typical inventories, according toDMN. More churn operators backed offhighly sought after cream supplies ascream prices are rising to unprofitable

levels to produce butter.Due to cream prices,use and demand for

bulk butter is picking up steadily. How-ever, buyers are finding supplies difficultto secure. Production rates are steady tolower. Some butter manufacturers notedlower butterfat levels in the milk.

Domestic demand is very good, whileinternational interest is light. Butterprices continue to show strength in theWest. Tight supplies have buyers look-ing to acquire inventory for futureneeds. Domestic sales for retail haveslowed, but end users are buying spotloads of bulk butter when available.Butter production is steady to lower.Some manufacturers continue to sellcream to satisfy demand. Export

demand is slower as internationalprices are below current U.S. pricing.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closedat $1.8075 per pound, down 1.75 centson the week, with three sales on theweek. NDPSR powder averaged$1.8731, up 1.1 cent, and dry whey aver-aged 67.95 cents per pound, up 0.3 cent.

May butter stocks totaled 192.5 mil-lion pounds, according to preliminarydata in the Agriculture Department’slatest Cold Storage report issued thisafternoon. That’s up 18.5 millionpounds or 11 percent from April but awhopping 129.5 million pounds or 40percent below that of May 2013.

American cheese stocks, at 656.8 mil-lion pounds, are up 7.9 million or 1 per-cent from April but 57.8 million poundsor 8 percent below a year ago. The totalcheese inventory stood at 1.068 billionpounds on May 30, up 30.2 million or 3percent from April but 82.3 millionpounds or 7 percent below a year ago.

Cooperatives Working Togetheraccepted five requests for export assis-tance this week from Dairy Farmers ofAmerica, Michigan Milk ProducersAssociation and Northwest Dairy Asso-ciation (Darigold) to sell 158,733 poundsof cheese, 2.315 million pounds of butter(82 percent butterfat) and 1.574 millionpounds of whole milk powder to cus-tomers in Asia and the Middle East.

The product will be delivered through

November and raises CWT’s 2014cheese exports to 57.232 millionpounds, plus 50.229 million pounds ofbutter and 13.596 million pounds ofwhole milk powder to 41 countries onsix continents. These sales are theequivalent of 1.746 billion pounds ofmilk on a milkfat basis.

Several states in the Southwest andSoutheast regions, along with Califor-nia, are seeing some declines in farmmilk production, according to USDA’sweekly update. Most states in thenorthern tier of the country from Westto East are mostly steady with a fewstates showing some increases. How-ever, as summer advances and temper-atures rise, lower milk production ratesare expected in those states.

Western European milk productionremains robust with producers experi-encing good margins and encouraged toproduce as much milk as possible, priorto anticipated milk price reductions.April milk production estimates for theEU-28 were on average 7.3 percentabove year-ago levels and 3.7 percenthigher compared to April 2012. Thestrong April increase over last year isas much a comment on last year’s weakstart to milk production as it is on thisyear’s strong start, says DMN.

Every now and again I’m reminded of the notionthat the word “farm” is both a noun and a verb.Come to think of it, the words “plan” and “spit” areof the same vintage.

This past spring I was once again witness to ourgroup of guys trying to make the plan to get theday’s spring planting done.

It’s a group of guys of all ages — young farmers,middle age farmers and one getting a little closer toretirement age each year, but not getting close toretiring. They sort out seed and load the seed ten-

ders, and when it’s all finished, theystand around in a circle with dirtswirling around their work boots asthey shuffle back and forth.

It’s a group of guys, so of course, thiselaborate thinking process requiresjocularity overload, verbal fertilizerand a certain amount of spitting.

I’ve learned that it’s not always thegreatest thing to be on the receivingend of any of those things. Nearly threedecades of marriage and a quarter cen-tury of being a mother has taught meto stand clear of all things spewed —from babies to children to grown men — whether infood, word or salivary form.

And especially if tobacco and wind speed and direc-tion are involved.

Some of the guys run field cultivators, some runplanters, some haul seed tenders and everyone has ajob to do. When the monkey business has subsided,the plan is made as to who will be working whereand how seed tenders and pickups filled with seedbags will get to the fields where they need to bethroughout the day, and what the seed tender driv-ers will be doing after they reach their destinations.And if making the plan for the entire day, theyextend their planning by figuring out who shoulddrive what pickup somewhere so everyone has some-thing to come home in at quitting time, or who willbe around to drive so-and-such home.

It’s quite an intellectual process that makesmy head spin, and I’m certain that so muchtime and thought was never put into plan-ning our wedding day, nor subsequently inthe planning of our family.

Of course, each plan is meticulously con-structed, and two or three plans might bescrapped before the final revision is acceptedby the entire congress. When it receives all“ayes,” they scatter, firing up tractors andtrucks for the day’s work ahead of them.

And, as we all know from time to time, theplan is subject to change without notice. When Ibring supper to the field I sometimes get roped

into helping move them from field to field. It takes anaxe to my own plan, but the getting the crop in or outtrumps all other plans.And I know the inconvenience isonly temporary. Better a temporary inconvenience thana temporary marriage. Most of the time, anyway.

All of this planning reminds me of our sons whenthey were in middle school and deciding the peckingorder when it came to making planning decisionsoutside when their dad was not home. There wouldbe a wicked feud every now and then, which theneighbor’s dog could tune into by cocking his headsideways and turning up his ears. After a certainamount of bickering, our guys came up with a plan.

One day my husband asked one of them a questionabout something they were doing, and he answeredwith a clear and present tone of apathy. “I don’tknow. I’m not the boss today.”

I bet that plan involved a lot of spitting, but I’mglad I wasn’t there to see where — or on whom — itmay have landed.

BOOKWORM, from pg. 19his wife added a self-published bookletto Christmas cardsand “mailed them toeveryone they couldthink of…”

Beginning withthat giveaway, anduntil a few yearsafter his death in1959, Duncan Hinesenjoyed fortune andpopularity as Amer-ica ’s foremostrestaurant critic.His was not the firstsuch ratings book,but it was arguablythe world’s mosttrusted.

So why is thename Duncan Hinessynonymous withcake mix today, andnot with the travel-restaurant guidesthat Hines first cre-ated?

The answer lies with a young mar-keter who knew the right things tosay…

Huh. Who knew?Apparently, says author Louis Hatch-

ett, everybodydid, includingthousands fromaround theworld. In fact, hebelieves, it’s apretty safe betthat if you wereborn before 1955,you knew whereto look beforeyou dined.

In “DuncanHines,” Hatchettdescribes hissubject as a mer-curial man whofiercely protectedhis reputationbut still man-aged to makemoney, despitethe Depressionand World Wars.The story of thisrags-to-richessalesman is sur-

prising and surprisingly fascinating —perhaps because Hines is not Hatch-ett’s only subject. We also get a sense of

time and place, and I liked that.This book is perfect if you’d like an

unusual (and lively) biography to enjoywhile dining, vacationing or any time.With “Duncan Hines,” you can haveyour cake and read it, too.

Look for the reviewed book at a book-store or a library near you. You may

also find the book at online book retail-ers.

The Bookworm is Terri Schlichen-meyer. Terri has been reading since shewas 3 years old and never goes any-where without a book. She lives in Wis-consin with three dogs and 10,000books. ❖

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

His plane took off from the Clear Lake,Iowa, airport at 12:55 a.m. on Tues-day, Feb. 3, 1959, as weather condi-

tions were beginning to deteriorate. On aflight to Fargo, N.D., that was cut shortafter just five miles, a rock ‘n’ roll super-star’s life was cut short after just 22 years.

Only two years prior, Buddy Holly hadbecome an overnight sensation with therelease of “That’ll Be the Day,” followed byhits such as “Peggy Sue,” “Everyday,” “NotFade Away,” “Oh, Boy!” and “Rave On.”Appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show andAmerican Bandstand made Holly the nextbig thing in music, and he was asked to joina group including fellow up-and-comersRitchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper”Richardson on a grueling winter tour of 24cities in 24 days across the Upper Midwest.

After 10 days of darting back and forthacross Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa onfrigid and foul-smelling tour buses, their11th performance was Feb. 2 at ClearLake’s Surf Ballroom. Holly chose to char-ter a small plane to their next gig in Moor-head, Minn., rather than put up with yetanother tedious and uncomfortable busride. There was room for only two othersamong the tour group’s musicians. Suffer-ing from the flu, Richardson grabbed thesecond spot on the plane; the final seatwent to Valens on a coin flip.

Investigators determined that the trio’syoung pilot did not see weather reportsthat might have dissuaded him from fly-ing that snowy night, in a plane withwhich he was not entirely familiar. Noradio contact with them could be madeafter their early morning takeoff, and theFargo airport never heard from them.

The plane’s wreckage, along with thebodies of Holly, Valens, Richardson andthe pilot, Roger Peterson, was found laterthat morning only a few miles northwestof Clear Lake, crumpled against the fence-line of a frozen cornfield.

You are welcome to make a pilgrimage tothe crash site to pay your respects to theyoung men who died that day 55 years ago,but you’re on your own to find it. Thelandowner allows visitors access along thatsolemn fenceline, but locating the site —marked by an oversized replica of Holly’strademark black-framed eyeglasses alonga gravel road — is up to you. ❖
