Minnesota agriculture quietly said“goodbye” to one of its staunchest advo-cates May 13.

That day was the funeral of BertEnestvedt, truly a man of passion andenthusiasm, especially when talkingabout seed corn. But for the hundreds,even thousands of folks who got to knowBert at the Enestvedt Seed Corn booth atthe Minnesota State Fair, wherever Bert’sconversation took him you were along fora great ride. That ride was always inform-ative, usually entertaining, quite oftenpolitically challenging, sometimes down-right comical, and predictably just plaingood listening.

From Dec. 14, 1919 until May 8, 2015, Bert packednearly 96 years into that experience called life. Andwhat an adventure, starting on his grandfather’shomesteaded farm south of Sacred Heart, Minn. Justlike every country kid in those days, Bert’sfirst eight years of “learning” was in a one-room country school. After high school and acouple years at West Central Ag School inMorris, Minn., he tried a year in Alaska. I’veenjoyed nearly 40 Minnesota State Fair vis-its with Bert but never did he share theAlaska chapter of his life. Perhaps his dearwife, Verne, could share that chapter. (Thenagain, perhaps not.)

Bert loved antiques, especially vintagecars. If you attended a county fair through-out west central Minnesota, or your community hadits own Corn Celebration Day parade, chances areyou viewed Bert behind the wheel of one of hisfavorite vintage automobiles, especially that 1911Maxwell.

But seeds were his primary dedication. He was afounding member of the Minnesota Soybean GrowersAssociation. Bert also was a director of the MinnesotaCrop Improvement Association. And even though“King Corn” was and still is the rootstock of EnestvedtSeeds, if it was good for agriculture, Bert spoke up. Infact in 1991 the University of Minnesota AgriculturalExperiment Station released a new soybean varietynamed “Bert.” That indeed is respect of the highestdegree in the seed industry. In 1994, he was the veryfirst recipient of the Siehl Prize for Excellence in Pro-duction Agriculture from the University of Minnesota.And perhaps the most special tribute was in 2011

when the Minnesota State Fair Board des-ignated a State Fair day in honor of Bertand Verne. Enestvedt Seeds is the longest-running continual exhibitor at the Min-nesota State Fair with upcoming 2015being their 78th year there.

Paul Harvey’s special tribute “So GodMade a Farmer” was the printed messageon Bert’s funeral program. He would haveliked nothing better than for each of us toread these special words:

And on the eighth day, God looked downon his planed paradise and said, “I needa caretaker.” So God made a farmer.

God said, “I need somebody willing toget up before dawn, milk cows, work all day in thefields, milk cows again, eat supper and then go totown and stay past midnight at a meeting of theschool board.” So God made a farmer.

“I need somebody with arms strong enough to rustlea calf and yet gentle enough to deliver hisown grandchild. Somebody to call hogs, tamecantankerous machinery, come home hungry,have to wait lunch until his wife’s done feed-ing visiting ladies and tell the ladies to besure and come back real soon ... and meanit.” So God made a farmer.

God said, “I need somebody willing to situp all night with a newborn colt. And watchit die. Then dry his eyes and say, ‘Maybe nextyear.’ I need somebody who can shape an ax

handle from a persimmon sprout, shoe a horse with ahunk of car tire, who can make harness out of hay-wire, feed sacks and shoe scraps. And who, plantingtime and harvest season, will finish his 40-hour weekby Tuesday noon, then pain’n from ‘tractor back,’ putin another 72 hours.” So God made a farmer.

God had to have somebody willing to ride the rutsat double speed to get the hay in ahead of the rainclouds and yet stop in mid-field and race to helpwhen he sees the first smoke from a neighbor’s place.So God made a farmer.

God said, “I need somebody strong enough to cleartrees and heave bales, yet gentle enough to tame lambsand wean pigs and tend the pink-combed pullets, whowill stop his mower for an hour to splint the brokenleg of a meadow lark. It had to be somebody who

A goodbye to a farmer

To the Editor:When officers of

Farm Bureau andMinnesota Corn and Soybean Growersstate that buffers won’t improve waterquality and that water quality is bettertoday than pre-settlement, it’s so silly thatgrade school kids will know better.

Why not just be honest and say we don’twant to do buffers, instead of all this hookey?

On one hand, farmers are squealing

there is too much government oversight.On the other hand, they are squealing

there is not enough government help.The taxpayers are somewhat getting

tired of farmers squealing, period.I would suggest that buffers are not too

much to ask of wealthy farmers who canthank the taxpayers for a share of theirwealth.Tommy StilesHenning, Minn.

Letter: Buffer talk ‘hookey’HAGEN, from pg. 2plowed deep and straight and notcut corners. Somebody to seed,weed, feed, breed and rake and discand plow and plant and tie thefleece and strain the milk andreplenish the self-feeder and finisha hard week’s work with a five-miledrive to church.

“Somebody who’d bale a familytogether with the soft strong bondsof sharing, who would laugh and

then sigh, and then reply withsmiling eyes, when his son says hewants to spend his life ‘doingwhat dad does.” So God made afarmer.

Bert Enestvedt, one of God’sspecial farmers, will be remem-bered by many.

To the Editor:I read the May 22 letter to the editor “EPA must

enforce Clean Air on factory farms” with interestuntil I came to the writer’s statement that “Twomajor lawsuits were launched by a coalition ofgroups recently — the Center for Food Safety, theHumane Society of the United States, and theSierra Club — to force the EPA to comply with cur-rent law and list factory farms as a category of pol-

lution under the Clean Air Act.”The writer’s opinions were clear; they

parrot HSUS advertisements. This entityis one of the most disgusting organizations in Amer-ica. Its “concern for the protection of animals” is afarce. If you ever read its Statement of Purpose, youwould understand that this organization doesn’teven want any human to have a cat or dog, let alone

eat chicken. The head man is suppos-edly a vegetarian, and wants all of you

out there to be one, too. Nor do they wantyou to be able to ride a horse or a mule, or a pony, ordonkey, or even keep one.

As far as I can find, the large percentage of themoney people contribute to HSUS goes for a lavishsalary and lifestyle for the top officers and a hugebank of lawyers — whose job is to sue everyone insight who has anything to do with animals, and thenuse any money they get to sue more people with ani-mals.

They like to come into rural areas, find a familythat raises animals as a living or hobby, and makeaccusations of “abuse,” suck in the local police or res-cue organizations, trash the family and confiscatetheir animals, and then leave town and let the peo-ple they conned take the heat and, generally, thelawsuits that then occur. It happened in SouthDakota not long ago, and destroyed a family busi-ness of breeding top quality hunting dogs.

HSUS is suing the EPA? Really? So they want ourtax money used to answer a lawsuit that will drag onfor decades and only make the lawyers more money,and won’t help one single person or animal — notone. Why don’t they sue the factory farms you aretalking about, one by one? Since a great many ofthem are owned by huge agribusiness corporations, Ifigure those businesses would keep all their lawyersvery busy and well-paid to keep everything up in theair for ever.

So who would win? The lawyers, it would seem.I challenge you to find the names and addresses of

any rescues or animal shelters that HSUS has set upor funds completely with the millions they take in ayear, or any money for workers who you say areinjured by air quality or other concerns. Send theseto The Land to publish, so we all can check them out.Rosemary SchafferWindom, Minn.

OPINION

Question: What came first, the chickenor the egg?

Answer: Neither; both arrived after aqualified veterinarian declared their farmdisease-free following a complete depopu-lation because of an outbreak of highlypathogenic avian influenza, or HPAI.

It’s no joke.On June 1, the U.S. Department of Agri-

culture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspec-tion Service announced that 192 “detec-tions” of the disease have been confirmedaround the United States since lastDecember, when HPAI was first identi-fied. Overall, USDA estimates 45 mil-lion turkeys, chickens, and ducks in 15states have been euthanized in an effort to limit thespread of the contagious, deadly flu.

Much of the disease is centered in Minnesota andIowa where, respectively, “more than” 8.2 millionturkeys and 29 million laying hens have beendestroyed. This latest calamity to hit U.S. animalagriculture, reports the Associated Press, hasalready cost growers in just those two states over $1billion.

The avian flu outbreak arrived as the equallydeadly porcine epidemic diarrhea, or PEDv, wasbeginning to wind down after a devastating hit onAmerican hog herds. The illness, which carried an80-percent-plus mortality rate once it infected babypigs, killed “at least” eight million head of pigs in theUnited States in 2013 and 2014, according to theAmerican Association of Swine Veterinarians.

And these two deadly diseases follow decades-longsearches to understand and thwart two other ani-mal-related catastrophes we take for granted: bovinespongiform encephalophathy, or mad cow disease,and honey bee colony collapse disorder.

Mad cow, often referred to as BSE, is still around.In mid-February, the Canadian Food Inspection Ser-vice confirmed BSE in one beef cow in Alberta. Thenews was a not too-subtle reminder that it’s alreadybeen 20 years since the United Kingdom orderedmore than 4.4 million head of cattle slaughtered inits attempts to eradicate it.

Honey bee colony collapse is even older. Markeddeclines in honey bee populations were noticed in1987 but colony collapse didn’t become big newsuntil 2006, when annual bee losses topped an unsus-tainable 30 percent, twice the usual number. USDA

estimates that $15 billion of U.S. cropseach year depend on honey bees and otherpollinators.

In fact, the world is so dependent onthese vital farm workers that on May

19, the White House released its report“National Strategy to Promote the Health of HoneyBees and Other Pollinators.” The 64-page report con-tains recommendations on how to cut colony collapselosses to “no more than 15 percent within 10 years”and the need to “restore or enhance seven millionacres of land for pollinators” in the next five years.

Animal disease is not new. What is new, however, isthe speed at which these diseases emerge and howquickly many spread because of today’s geneticallyhomogenized, industrially concentrated herds andflocks. We’ve placed much of our animal production on

thin reeds in just a few ponds and when disease hitsit hits both animals and producers like a scythe.

Even then, these big numbers of dead or sick arerelatively small when compared to the overall sizeof today’s massive animal factories.

For example, the 29 million egg-laying hens killedin Iowa in attempts to limit the spread of avian flu— an enormous number by any measure — isroughly 10 percent of the 303 million laying hens intoday’s egg-producing American flock.

Even more numbing is what these 29 million birdsrepresent in the overall U.S. chicken flock: it’s abarely detectable speck because the United Statesproduces almost 160 million broiler (meat) chickensper week, or 8.5 billion per year. Add that number tothe 300 million laying hens and 29 million is —what? — well, almost invisible.

Maybe that’s why we don’t listen to what naturemight be telling us when these waves of devastatingdiseases slam our cattle, hogs, chickens, and honeybees. We’re so smart and so productive we assumewe’ll beat ’em.

That might be a fair assumption but it’s a sucker bet.The Farm and Food File is published weekly

~ “Brute Force by Doolittle” ~

There was a charted singerin the late ’50s and early ’60s(I’m dating myself here)named Dinah Washington.Her first hit was in 1959 —“What a Difference a DayMakes.” The song came tomind as I sat to write myannual “June Dairy Month”tribute and thought whata difference a yearmakes.

“June Dairy Month” 2014 saw U.S.dairy farmers in a position they hadn’tseen in years, namely that milk priceswere actually paying the bills, pricesthat set record highs and dwarfed thepainful lows of 2009 that many hadfinally recovered from, though somenever did. What struck me the mostwas how relatively oblivious con-sumers were to what dairy farmershad been through. Oh, they paid a lit-tle more for a gallon of milk or a blockof cheese but they were never at a lossto find an adequate supply of eitherone. Never! Think of that and begrateful because “June Dairy Month”is really every month of the year inthe U.S. dairy case.

I have served this great industry forover 35 years and have been so grate-ful that I’m on my side of the micro-phone and keyboard ever since as Ilearned of the 24/7 demands of run-

ning a dairy operation. As the“FarmersOnly.com” slogansays, “City folks just don’t getit.”

To fully appreciate the avail-ability and wholesomeness oftoday’s dairy foods, you have toknow what’s behind that gal-

lon of milk that you sounthinkingly pick up atthe grocery store each

week, or what’s inside thatcheese that lies on top of your favoritepizza, or how did that Greek yogurt getthere on the shelf or the milk in yourmorning latte. It’s far too easy to takethese for granted and “June DairyMonth” reminds us.

Last year I mentioned how the dairyindustry hadn’t put fluid milk out topasture. While declining fluid salescontinue to pose a challenge to thedairy industry, milk continues to com-pete with plenty of other beverages,like sports drinks, bottled water, andeven products that call themselves“milk,” made from soy and almonds.

But, there are some exciting newarrivals in the “real” milk world. Lastyear I mentioned the success of WhiteGold in Pennsylvania, which simply didwhat processors have been doing foryears in California; increasing nonfatsolids content which not only enhancesmilk’s flavor, but enhances milk’s nutri-

tion package and sales continue togrow there.

This year, Coke has entered the dairycase. Yes, Coca-Cola has entered withits lactose-free Fairlife brand of fluidmilk that boasts increased calcium andprotein.

Dean Foods, the largest milk pro-ducer in the country, just announcedthat it is taking a stab at reversingdeclining fluid milk consumption byintroducing its own national fluid milkproduct called DairyPure.

Then there’s what might be called theniche fluid category. Arla Food’s BigMilk, which they refer to as “the nextgeneration of fresh milk, the first andonly fresh cows’ milk enriched withessential nutrients for children’s

growth and development.”And, speaking of sports drinks, good

old fashioned chocolate milk is gaininga lot of attention as a tremendous nat-ural source of high-quality protein tobuild lean muscle. A website devoted toits sport’s attributes, says it contains“the right mix of protein and carbs sci-entifically shown to refuel exhaustedmuscles and help return to peak poten-tial provides fluids and electrolytes likecalcium, potassium, magnesium andsodium to rehydrate and help replenishcritical nutrients lost in sweat.”

Consumers are also coming back tobutter. It wasn’t so long ago that mar-garine spreads were taking marketshare from butter but health researchhas drastically turned that around andbutter is back. And, you just can’t beatbutter’s flavor or its adaptability incooking and food preparation.

America’s love affair with cheese con-tinues as well. Yes, dairy still offers awonderful nutrient package that hashad its doubters over the years but thenthe dairy industry has been a believerall along. No wonder “the PromisedLand” was also called “a Land flowingwith milk and honey.” I’ll drink to that!

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

KERKHOVEN, Minn. — Where there’s a willthere’s a way. That country logic explains how, withhelping hands from their community, Rich, Caroland Madison Radtke started Prairie’s Edge OrganicDairy near Kerkhoven.

“We nearly gave up farming after our March 4,2014, barn fire. But with a little luck and a greatcommunity, we stayed with it,” said Rich. “Our com-munity helped finance and build our new barn, withlocal labor and nearly $50,000 donated to thecause.”

The Radtke family is still farming and now dairy-ing with only 19 cows — a mix of Aryshire and Jer-sey breeds who are grass- and hay-fed. They rent a160-acre “no grain” farm with 65 acres of pasturepaddocks, 70 acres in alfalfa hay and 10 acressorghum-sudangrass for early spring pasture for-age. Prior to the organic dairy, Rich did customgrazing for area cattlemen.

Rich, 50, and wife Carol, a bit younger, operate thedairy with their daughter Madison, 16, a junior atKMS High School, short for Kerkhoven, Murdock,Sunberg. Madison is active in FFA and 4-H.

Both Carol and Madison have a knack for cows.“The milking chores are strictly up to my ladies,”

said Rich. “They don’t even want me in the parlor.Madison directs traffic of the 19 cows as soon asthey step into the milking parlor.

“I thought my wife would be the herdsman. But

when Madison takes over you’d swear she’s beenmilking for 30 years. She seems to be a natural withthe cows.”

Advice was plentiful as they built their barn. Twomessages stood out: build your parlor as if you were65 years old, and build the parlor you need today, butbuild it so you can expand tomorrow.

Their new 32- by 48-foot barn features a TRANS

Iowa 16-cow milking parlor (eight each side) com-pleted Jan. 19. On Jan. 21, the inspector gave his“thumbs-up” and their first batch of organic milkwas on the truck Jan. 24.

The cows freely enter the milking parlor.“Perhaps because they get petted and talked to,”

said Rich. “It’s very calm. Rarely do they make amess. It’s a low-stress environment.”Farm women

Before the evening milking, Carol reflected on her30 years of marriage to Rich. She’s ever practicalabout their organic dairy and farm. The family liveson her income as a licensed practical nurse. Shetakes care of their handicapped adult daughter andmakes less than $30,000 a year.

“We’re very, very conservative,” said Carol. “Wejust make it work.”

Carol is an energetic, multi-tasking, diverse farmwoman. She cans, bakes, sells goat milk and makesall the bread for their household.

“We’re true homesteaders,” she said.The physical labor and commitment to the cows is

second nature for Carol.“Actually I don’t think it’s that hard. We’ve had

dairy goats out here for quite some time but thedairy cows give you a purpose. You feel like you’reactually grounded here with set schedules bothmorning and evening,” said Carol. “With my dairygoats I can be a bit flippant. I think I don’t need tomilk you goats today. I’ll let your babies do thattoday.”

Carol said milking the cows isn’t difficult or timeconsuming. Cows are machine-milked.

“We start at 6 am and finish up 7:30-8 o’clock.Evenings, we start at 5 and I’m back in the house at6:30. It’s a simple routine, especially when you don’tfeed grain,” said Carol. “We provide a couple baleseach day and that’s about it. When pasture season

Madison is her right-hand girl in themilking parlor.

“She loves being in the barn,” saidCarol. “She probably handles the cowsbetter than I do. I’m too gentle withthem. I call them by name, scratchthem. Madison has worked with a lotof large animals in the show ring so

she knows how to control them asneeded.”

Madison’s school activities and thelocal FFA chapter mean Carol occa-sionally milks alone. Madison wasaccepted into the Ag Discovery Pro-gram and will go to Kentucky StateUniversity for two weeks in June. Lastyear, she went to Lincoln, Mo.

Only one challenge proved too big forCarol: A cow calved at 2:30 a.m. and

the calf was too big for Carol to carryinto the barn.

“It was freezing cold. I could not pickthat calf up. Rich to the rescue thattime,” said Carol. “But other than thatone situation, I think my nursing back-ground has taught me to handle theillnesses of our cows; the goats, the lla-mas. I follow my gut on everything.”

The couple discusses expanding thedairy since they have the capacity tohandle a few more cows. However,cows are expensive now. They’re think-ing that they’ll hold off until a feworganic grass-fed cows “just fall to uswhen the time has come and we canmake our payments and make itwork,” said Carol.Old ways

Goats in the Radtke’s enterprisewere used for pasture development.She explained that their land had beenabandoned so a variety of weeds andvegetation prevailed. Bring in thegoats to munch and clean up.

“Then we switched to a handful ofdairy goats,” said Carol. “Customersbuy the raw milk from us. Some drinkit; some make it into kefir; and a lotmake it into soap. I have a lot of soapmakers in my little circle of specialfriends.”

Kefir is a fermented milk product.Sometimes customers have to wait a

few days for their goat milk becauseshe has a list of customers that getfirst attention.

Madison does the goat milkingwhich is a hand process.

By not buying grain, they have lessexpenses on the books.

“As long as our hay fields, our graz-ing pasture works, we’re okay. It’simportant to us that we be sustainablebecause if something happens we canstill provide for our cows,” said Carol.

The cows fertilize the fields withtheir manure, but Rich is workingwith BioAg on strategies to improvesoil fertility.

“That could mean even more cropchoices like turnips or kale orradishes. More diversity on our fields;maybe totally weird but beneficial. Hewants to do something different sincewe’re different anyway,” said Carolwith a chuckle.

A few struggling vines in their vine-yard set out years back provide Carolsome satisfaction.

“It does produce enough so I canmake grape juice and jelly and Richcan produce wine,” she said.

Carol is amused when she hearsthat neighbors are talking aboutwhat’s going on at the Radtke farm.

“I think a lot of people don’t under-stand what we’re doing,” she said.“Having cows out on grass just doesn’tmake sense anymore to today’s dairyfarmers.”

Since the cows at Prarie’s EdgeOrganic Dairy are on an all-pastureand hay diet, Rich Radtke expects toshorten lactation to 285 days.

“We feel the energy level in the hayisn’t quite what they need so ashorter lactation may be inevitable.This we will learn as we progress intoour new endeavor,” he said.

Pasture and high-moisture alfalfahay are the cows’ sole nourishment;no grain and no soybean meals cutscosts. Lindquist Custom Harvestingin Murdock, Minn., makes hay for theRadtkes.

On April 2, wind ripped off the plas-tic canopy of their 30- by 72-foot hoopstyle solar calf barn which serves as asummer garden for their organicherbs and vegetables.

“If it’s 20 degrees outside and wehave sunshine, its 60 degrees in oursolar calf barn,” he said.

They have a 600-gallon milk tank thatis too big, but it was priced right andRadtke plans to add more cows to the

lineup “as soon as they are affordable.”“We use a deep bedding pack and

other than a couple of the heifers, nofrost bite this past winter,” he said.

Parlor temps are kept at 40 F, butfor milking it gets cranked up to 60 Ffor an hour.

Machinery is minimal — a used 763Bobcat is the farm workhorse. Healso has a 1960s Oliver 1850, with abad clutch, for his limited field work.

Farming costs so far total up toabout $3,000 for the custom harvestof his 35-acre, 2014 alfalfa crop (65acres in 2015); $180 for propane forthe parlor heater; $300 to $325 topower the skid loader; and about$150 to get his barley crop seeded.That’s less than a $4,000 bill for oper-ating costs for 2015.

The total cost of their dairy facilitywas $62,000.

“We feel we are a good example of asmall, affordable start-up dairy,”Radtke said.

With most of Minnesota’s corn cropemerged, corn condition rated 73 per-cent good to excellent, up three per-centage points from last week.

Soybean planting was 97 percentcomplete. Eighty-eight percent of thesoybean acreage had emerged, 13 daysahead of the previous year and 11 daysahead of the five-year average. Thefirst soybean condition of the year was

estimated at zero percent very poor, 2percent poor, 25 percent fair, 67 percentgood, and six percent excellent.

The first cutting of alfalfa hay was 27percent complete, four days ahead oflast year but five days behind the five-year average.

Minnesota crop progress reportThe latest full ‘From theFields’ crop reports fromMinnesota, northern IowaThe Pulks Wannaska, Minn.

Andy Pulk has gotten most of hissunflowers planted, and his June 10deadline for completing the job is quicklyapproaching. When The Land spoke withPulk on June 4, he said it has been a longplanting season, “planting on and off since the19th of April.” As for the crops that are planted,“everything emergence-wise looks really good”

with corn, Pulk said, although “wegot a 29-degree day within the lastweek” that did burn some of theleaves. Meanwhile, “the soybeansare looking really good; they gottheir first tri-foliate.” Thesunflowers are not yet out of the

ground, but “the wheat is six to eight inches tall,and starting to fill the rows.” Overall, he said theweather has been “on the wetter side; we needsome drier days and sunshine.”

The Lees McIntosh, Minn.

“So far the crop seasonseems to be going well,” JoanLee told The Land on June 4.The rain that has fallen aroundthe farm has varied from a lot toa little, but enough that Lee hasn’t cut hay yet.Rain was forecast for the weekend, so she wasshooting to start cutting June 8. “Usually itseems that we chop the majority of the first crop;

the second crop will be small bales and roundbales.” The corn is “coming up really nice,”Lee said; her husband Mark has cultivated onefield already. Meanwhile, “Wheat looks goodand oats do, too.” With no milking on theirfarm anymore, Lee and her husband got ticketsto see the Eagles in concert in Grand Forks,

N.D. With good music, time away with herhusband, and the crops doing well, Lee isenjoying her “life after cows.”

The Haarstads Rothsay, Minn.

The rain has certainly been plentiful, butsunshine and heat have been in short supply,according to John Haarstad. The Land spokewith him on June 4 as he was getting readyto head out to the field. “Finally down to thelast one-third of corn to spray,” said Haarstad.The rain that has fallen he expects will bebeneficial in July and August when moisture isn’t

as abundant. For now, though,“the crops desperately need theheat — (the corn is) about four tosix inches in height; it doesn’thave a nice color,” Haarstad said,and the soybeans have emergedabout two inches. “Everything is

looking as good as to be expected with theweather that we’ve had,” he said.

The Filzens Renville, Minn.

Dale Filzen finished planting his navybeans around May 22 and was happy toreport to The Land on June 4 that “they’reall up.” The rain has continued to fall atthe Filzen farm, with 1.9 inches on June 3alone. The sugar beets have “pretty good standsfor the most part,” he said. The beets have beensprayed; most of the corn is yet to do. The

majority of the corn crops lookgood, although “the corn-on-cornlooks a little tough,” he said. Thesoybeans are coming — “I thinkthey look pretty decent; we coulduse sunshine and warm dayswithout wind.” Filzen’s summary of

the crops thus far: “Nothing looks super fantastic,but nothing looks like a disaster.”

The ThorpesCanby, Minn.

Sun and rain each madeappearances the past twoweeks, helping Nathan Thorpe’scrops. “Overnight and thismorning we got just over aninch (of rain),” he told The Land on May 29.

“Our corn crop is looking good. The heat wegot in the last few days helped.” He added thatthe soybeans have had good emergence. He’snot upset about more rain being in theforecast: “I’d always rather have a little extrarain than not enough.” Right now, though,some heat would be welcome, as “sunshine is

what these crops need.”

The PagelsWinthrop, Minn.

A little heat has made all the differencefor Delayne Pagel’s crops. When The Landspoke with Pagel on May 28, he said“We’re in real good shape; the (once-yellow) corn is coming around, gettinggreener. ... The sunshine is really helping.” Thebottom-line: “The corn crop has come a longways.” Pagel planned to begin spraying corn theafternoon of May 28; he will also side dress some

of the corn as well. As for thesoybeans, “some are looking reallygood,” he said, while “the lowground is slower emerging.” Pagelstill has kidney beans to plant, andplanned on doing so the next week.He expected it would take about a

day to get those 80 acres in. With the sunshining, crops growing and the last crop justabout planted, things are just fine out on thePagel farm.

The MarblesMapleton, Minn.

“We’re pushing right at fiveinches for the month for rain,”Harlan Marble told The Land onMay 28, pleased with the timelyprecipitation. “Everything is soperfect, it’s unbelievable,” he said, while notingthat “The last time I had a crop like this was1981 and it disappeared on June 23 (due tohail).” Marble has already sprayed his corn, and

the soybeans are looking good as well. “Youcan row them, they’re perfectly clean andmarvelous,” he said. With crops looking thisgood, Marble had a lot to celebrate, includinghe and his wife Elaine’s 53rd anniversary onJune 2. He hoped that they can get away tothe lake for a couple of weeks. With a long-

lived marriage and crops doing wonderfully,Marble said he has “absolutely nothing tocomplain about.”

The HeusinkveldsWykoff, Minn.

Rain has been a constant on theHeusinkveld farm. The Land spoke with NateHeusinkveld on May 28, and he reportedthat in the past two weeks “it pretty muchrained all the time.” He had hoped to cuthay around Memorial Day but that didn’t happen— “From Sunday to Monday afternoon, two and ahalf inches (fell).” Now he was hoping to cut hay

on May 30 if the weathercooperates. “The corn is lookingreally good,” said Heusinkveld.“Some got hit with frost but iscoming out of it.” Meanwhile, thesoybeans are “just coming out ofthe ground.” Heusinkveld planned

on spraying the afternoon of May 28. After a wetcouple of weeks, “temperatures are lookingbetter.”

The KempsSibley, Iowa

Brian Kemp is seeing plenty ofgrowth out in his fields the pasttwo weeks. Even with coolertemperatures, his crops are doingwell. When The Land spoke withKemp on May 28 he said he was happy with thesoybeans. “They’re looking good; the stand looks

good. The last field has emerged and you canrow it.” As for the corn, he said it looks goodand is greening up, but needs heat, andtemperatures were finally moving in the rightdirection. “Yesterday it got into the low 80s,”said Kemp. “We’re starting to get heat.” Henoted that for the crop to become successful,

“we are going to need timely rain.”

The Froemmings Garfield, Minn.

Due to rain it had been nearly amonth since Rodney Froemminghad been in the field, and as ofJune 5 he still had more soybeansto plant. He told The Land,though, that they’d get ’er done soon. “We’regoing to finish up the last of the beans, finally.(Planting season) started out really good, nice;ended up ugly.” Froemming has custom baling

hay on deck — “If we get a stretch of nicedays, then the haying will start prettyheavy.” The corn crop is “starting to comearound,” wheat is “well over knee-high,” therye “looks excellent,” and the soybeans theymanaged to get in the ground are “probablypushing two inches high — they came out of

the frost really well.” The forecast was “supposedto be nice” the week of June 8, and that meantthe last of the beans would get planted and theplanter could be put away for another year.

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

HILLMAN, Minn. —With low milk prices andlong hours, dairy farmingisn’t the most profitableindustry these days, butTanner Miller, 20, andcousin Derek Miller, 23,started up a dairy with38 cows last September. It took abanker willing to finance two youngdairy farmers, and two dads willing toshare machinery, crops and patience inexchange for some hands-on work ontheir own farms, to make the enter-prise a reality.

“I’ve grown up around cows since Iwas a kid,” said Tanner. “I love farm-ing. I love cows. At this stage, there’snothing else I’d rather do.”

They are third-generation dairyfarmers with milk in their veins; Tan-ner’s dad is Ron Miller and Derek’sdad is Roger Miller. The senior Millers

had their eye on the40-acre farm nextto Ron’s farm andwhen it came up forsale, they pur-chased the place fortheir sons.

“We’ve been doingthis since welearned to walk, it

seems,” Derek said. “But without ourdads, this wouldn’t have happened. Itall just sort of unfolded and here weare.”Fresh start

After being let go from his job in2014, Derek found the 38 cows nearDetroit Lakes, Minn. Finding theirstarter herd took two months ofsearching in catalogs, breeder journalsand Dairy Star.

“Our dads have been dairying forabout 35 years,” he said. “They hadsome suggestions on who to see. Butwhen me and my dad walked into this

old barn at Detroit Lakes and saw hiscows we knew they were right for us.We could see they had good genetics.And they were young cows, mostly intheir second and third lactations.”

The starter farm has a big shed, anice barn and some good land, andbeing so close to home made the siteperfect, said Tanner.

“The first thing we did when we gotthis place was pressure wash the entirebarn and get a good radio with speak-ers,” he said. “Hearing nothing but yourmilker pulsator units gets boring realquick. Cows seem more contented, too.It’s mostly music but some weather andmarket news adds to the listening.”

Between their dads’ farms and this

starter farm, the Miller crew handlesabout 450 acres of corn and alfalfacropland in order to raise all the feedthey can for the cows. Apparentlythey’re good with alfalfa, getting six-to seven-year stands routinely.

“Seed down the good land and it justseems to go and go,” said Derek.

New Holland Haybines are theirprinciple hay-making tools.

While corn grain, corn silage andalfalfa hay is the current feed, theyare considering haylage to lessen thestress of finding good hay makingweather and to add additional palata-bility into the total ration.

MILLER, from pg. 13Milking

Derek and Tanner still have off-farmjobs at Cretex in Elk River, Minn. —Tanner the 6 a.m. shift; Derek starts at7:30 a.m. Derek does the morning milk-ing, operating three units into a pipelinesystem. They double up the 5 p.m. milksession which takes about 80 minutesusing four units.

Derek also does the morning feed rou-tine: grain, then silage and top dressedwith alfalfa hay so cows can free feed.

Milk is picked up every other day andmilk checks delivered every two weeks.Current production is about 65 poundsdaily. The dairy came with a milking sys-tem including a 1,500-gallon steel tank.

Cows are housed and stanchioned 24/7in individual stalls which have rubbermats and gutter grates. Sawdust from alocal saw mill is used for bedding.

In their 48-cow stanchion barn withpipeline system and six milker unitsthey currently use only four. They do this to keep aclose eye on each cow. The result is a rhythm thatsuits the milkers and the cows.

Tanner describes their lineup as younger, big-bod-ied cows with lots of capacity. The Millers won’tpush production too aggressively.

“We’ll build slowly with a goal of 80 pounds percow,” Derek said. “We’re hoping for six to seven lacta-tions per cow.”

Expansion is the next step.“If we build just a bit more space so we could have

50 cows each milking, that would help our bottom

line. From there on we’ll see how we’redoing,” he said.Partnership

Their dads do some daytime chores attheir sons’ barn. Tanner and Derek talkabout dropping their off-farm jobs whenthey get up to a total of 150 cows betweentheir farm and Ron’s.

Resigning their off-farm jobs alsodepends on their banker. Lower cow priceswould help, too. Those 38 cows bought lastSeptember averaged $2,200 per cow.Weaker milk prices aren’t making the mathlook any better.

At this stage, their dads are a big helpwith machinery and land for corn andalfalfa.

“It’s kind of a partnership,” said Tanner.“They help us, we help them. Until we geton our feet, we know special support fromour parents is a big part of our early days.”

He’s not predicting when his dad will quitdairying.

“Since Dad bought this place he’s gotmore life in him. He’s proud,” said Tanner.

“My dad will die in the barn,” said Derek.Tanner’s dad is a proud father and uncle.“I think both are above average. They’re used to

hard work,” Ron said. “Plus they’ve grown up farm-ing So they are ‘farming smart’ and ‘cow smart.’ Ithink Tanner is exceptional for his age. He’ll be agood farmer some day.”Hard work

They pay close attention to production and health.“We keep good records on each cow,” Derek said.

“Breeding dates, calving dates, dry off dates. That’sall on the tag board above each cow.”

Bull calves get sold off colostrum milk within acouple weeks. They’ve found the sale barn in Albanygenerates better prices.

For heifer calves, they use calf hutches.“You feed individually,” said Derek. “You check the

health of each critter this way. They’re up to drinktheir daily milk. It’s just the best way to monitoryour calves.”

Derek is the herdsman, the guy who does barntime if a cow is calving during the middle of thenight. His dad, Roger, also makes night-time visits tothe barn just out of habit, the cousins said.

Derek isn’t bashful about jabbing the “white collar”traders handling the markets and pricing of fluid milk.

“I’d like to see them out here a few days following usand seeing if they could keep up,” Derek said. “Afterthey get back to their comfort chairs, they might bet-ter understand why better milk prices are so impor-tant to us guys out here delivering the raw material.”

They realize that occasionally taking a break fromthe cows is necessary.

“I get away once in awhile,” said Tanner. “Derek,I’ve got to practically force him to take a break ’causehe won’t leave the barn.” ❖

Livestock AnglesFutures, cash

markets go flatThe livestock markets seem to have become range-

bound as the month of June begins. Both cattle andhog markets have slowed their recent ascent and lev-eled off in relatively tight trading ranges. Usuallywhen markets tend to this type of behavior for anylength of time, a more significantmove is likely to develop asunderlying commodity begins toexit that particular trading rangein either direction.

The cattle market has seenboth the futures market and thecash market go virtually flat inprice in recent weeks. This seemsto suggest that the light supply ofcattle is being offset by a dimin-ishing demand for beef forcingthe market into fairly narrowtrading ranges for both the cashand futures.

These ranges that the cattle market has slippedinto may last indefinitely or until a significantchange takes place in either the supply of cattle orthe demand for beef.

The recent decline in the beef cutout suggests thatbeef demand is still questionable. This is forcing thepacker to be more selective in the bidding for liveinventory to protect their margins. Unless cattlenumbers significantly tighten in the near future, it islikely the cattle market will remain steady to lowerdepending on the cutout prices. This will more thanlikely keep the futures market at a discount inresponse to the potential defensive attitude of thepackers. Producers should remain aware of marketconditions and protect inventories as warranted.

Local Corn and Soybean Price Index

Grain OutlookCorn stand excellent

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing June 5.

CORN — July corn closed unchanged or higher infour of the last five trading sessions on short cover-ing/profit taking, a generally lower U.S. dollar, andspillover support from the soar-ing wheat markets. For theweek, July corn was nine centshigher at $3.60 1⁄2 per bushelwith the December contract up adime at $3.78 per bushel. Wheatsprinted higher on concerns overtoo much water and what impactit may have on yields and qualityon U.S. wheat.

U.S. corn emergence was 84 per-cent as of May 31, and reportsaround the country indicate thestand is excellent. Weather forthe developing corn crop is non-threatening. The corn condition rating is expected tobe near unchanged at 74 percent good/excellent onthe June 8 report.

As for planting, it was 95 percent complete at theend of May. While most the remaining acres areexpected to be planted to corn; due to low new cropprices, some anticipate we’ll see up to one millionacres of the remaining 4.46 million acres switch tobeans or another alternative crop, possibly sorghum?

The U.S. Department of Agriculture will releasetheir monthly crop report on June 10.

El Niño According to the National Weather Service climate

prediction center, El Niño, or the warming phase ofthe Southern Oscillation in the Pacific, is back. As ofMay 2015, The NWS has an 80 percent degree of cer-tainty that El Niño will be in effect until late sum-mer of 2015.

The Southern Oscillationphases affect each part of theUnited States differently, how-ever, it is widely believed that theEl Niño phase provides moistureto the major crop growing areasof the central United States.

There is no guarantee that ElNiño will produce yields that areat or above trend line, but it iswidely believed that the phase atleast moderates the chances ofextreme weather anomalies inthe central crop growing region ofthe United States.

The other possibilities for the Southern Oscillationzone are neutral and La Niña. The last major belowtrend line yield in the United States in 2012 hap-pened as the ocean surface temperature was in acooler phase known as La Niña. La Niña increasesthe chances of extreme weather anomalies acrossthe major crop growing areas of the United States.

Some weather analysts have remarked that ifthere is a drought in the central part of the UnitedStates, there is a two-thirds chance that it has comein a La Niña phase.

Other research has shown that these ocean phasescan affect relatively small geographical areas in thesame ways during subsequent phases of the particu-

NYSTROM, from pg. 15192.5 mmt (192.5) and 2015-16world ending stocks 191.9 mmt(191.9). South America’s corn crop forecasts con-tinue to rise. Argentina’s corn crop is projected at25.1 mmt versus 24.5 mmt last month and Brazil’scrop is expected at 78.7 mmt compared to 78.0 mmtin May. Argentina’s corn harvest was thought to be39 percent complete as of June 5.

Weekly corn export sales were disappointing ver-sus expectations across the board at 18.3 millionbushels for old crop, while new crop showed net can-cellations of 2.1 million bushels. Old crop sales con-tinue to run 6 percent behind last year when theUSDA is predicting a 4 percent decline. It’s unlikelywe’ll see any change in the export category on thismonth’s crop report.

New crop sales commitments are running wellbehind last year at this time. Total commitmentsfor 2015-16 are just 87.3 million bushels comparedto 117.4 million bushels last year. Buyers are not inany big hurry to book new crop corn as long as theweather doesn’t pose any threat to the developingcrop. Weekly ethanol production rose 3,000 barrelsper day to 972,000 barrels per day, the thirdstraight weekly increase. Ethanol stocks fell by29,000 barrels to 20.07 million barrels. We are onpace to accomplish the USDA’s 5.2 billion bushelcorn for ethanol usage estimate.

OUTLOOK: Corn held above the contract lows of$3.46 3⁄4 in the July and $3.64 1⁄4 in the Decembercontract this week. The July contract touched andheld the previous week’s low of $3.48 1⁄4 to beginthe week, then short covering and a volatile dollarkicked in to push prices higher. Grower sales wereslightly better on the rally this week, but producers

remain undersold for both old andnew crop compared to previous years.Friday saw the only lower close for the

week as traders headed home with great weather inthe forecast and on the heels of a rally in the dollar.Corn is balancing the dollar’s action against slowsales and a good looking crop. Weather will be aheavy influence as always at this time of year, socontinue to monitor the forecasts as well as the dol-lar. First support in the December is $3.64 1⁄4 withresistance near $3.85-$3.88 per bushel. Longerterm, lower prices are expected without a weatherproblem.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans stair stepped their wayhigher this week, alternating between higher andlower closes every other day. July beans eked out a 33⁄4 cent gain for the week at $9.37 3⁄4 per bushelwhile the November contract rallied 8 1⁄2 cents to$9.14 1⁄4 per bushel. U.S. soybean planting is pro-jected to be in the low 80 percents as of May 7, uparound 10 percent from the previous week’s 71 per-cent complete number.

Will we see additional soybean acres come from aswitch from corn due to wet conditions in parts of theUnited States? Could any switching be offset withprevented planting in wet areas of Missouri andKansas? Soybean emergence on May 31 was 49 per-cent versus 45 percent on average. The first soybeancondition rating as of June 7 may be near last year’sfirst rating of 74 percent good/excellent rating.

South America’s soybean situation continues toimprove. The Buenos Aires Grain Exchange raisedtheir Argentine soybean production estimate from60.0 mmt to 60.8 mmt. The USDA was 58.5 mmt lastmonth, but the average trade estimate for the June10 report is 59.2 mmt. There has been some specula-tion that Argentina’s bean crop may be as large as62-63 mmt by the time the final numbers come in.Argentina’s soybean harvest was put at 94 percentcomplete as of June 5.

The USDA in May pegged Brazil’s soybean crop at94.5 mmt and it’s anticipated they will increase it to94.8 mmt on the upcoming report.

There is still the threat of a general strike inArgentina June 9, but we’ll have to just wait and seehow that situation pans out and if it causes anyswitching of bean or meal sales back to the UnitedStates.

In Canada, a frost in the canola crop has resultedin sharply higher prices and a rush to find additionalseed for replanting.

Soybean weekly export sales were under expecta-tions at just 4.8 million bushels and 12.7 millionbushels for new crop were above estimates. Old cropsales commitments are 1.84 billion bushels com-pared to the USDA’s forecast for 1.8 billion bushels.The five-year average rollover from old crop to newcrop is 60 million bushels. The fact that we nearingthat level this early may suggest the export forecastwill be increased on the June crop report.

New crop total sales commitments are roughly halfof what they were last year at this time. Ample worldsupplies have kept buyers at bay. There were rumorscirculating during the week of China canceling mealpurchases, but nothing was confirmed.

The June 10 USDA monthly crop report trade esti-mates are as follows with the May forecasts inparenthesis: 2014-15 U.S. ending stocks 339 millionbushels (350), 2015-16 487 million bushels (500),2014-15 world ending stocks 85.8 mmt (85.5), and2015-16 world ending stocks 96.0 mmt (96.2).

OUTLOOK: Soybeans managed to post a higherweekly close despite higher crop estimates for SouthAmerica, good U.S. growing conditions, and slowexport sales. Basis levels were slightly firmer toattract bushels into the crusher, where margins arevery good. The bean oil market was the leader of thesoy complex gains as it benefited from the EPAbiodiesel announcement at the end of May. Boardcrush margins were running over $1 per bushel as ofthe close June 5. Markets will take direction fromthis week’s USDA report, dollar direction, and theweather.

With the closing of the Chicago Board of Tradefutures pits on July 2, market on close orders areseen transitioning to Trading at Settlement ordersthat begin trading June 15. Call for more informa-tion or check out the Chicago Mercantile Exchange’swebsite.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week end-ing June 5: Minneapolis wheat soared 40 3⁄4 centshigher, Chicago rallied 40 cents and Kansas Cityjumped 36 1⁄2 cents higher. Energies were loweracross the board for the week. July crude oil fell $1.17per barrel to $59.13 per barrel, ultra-low-sulfurdiesel dropped eight cents per gallon, reformulatedblendstock for oxygenate blending declined 3 1⁄4cents and natural gas pulled back 5 1⁄4 cents. TheU.S. dollar index was down 0.562 ticks after a highlyvolatile week. The average trade estimate for 2015-16U.S. wheat production is 2.110 billion bushels com-pared to the previous estimate of 2.087 billionbushels. ❖

TEALE, from pg. 15The hog market has been struggling in recent

trading and is beginning to appear tired. After afairly decent rally over the past several weeks, thehogs seem to have found resistance in the mid$80.00 range basis lean. Supplies are in fair shapeand demand for pork remains good.

The seasonal patterns would suggest that a top inthe market is near and the activity of the marketwould support this theory. The trading range thathas developed portends that the supply of hogs isquickly catching up to the demand for pork.

Recent hog reports do suggest that numbersshould increase into the fall months and the factthat the discounts in the deferred months are sup-porting that suggestion. The recent cold storagereports also indicate building supplies of pork in thecoolers which could be considered a negative factorif in fact hog numbers increase in the weeks ahead.

Therefore, producers should be cognizant of mar-ket conditions in the upcoming weeks and protectinventories when the opportunity presents itself. ❖

“June Dairy Month” startsin positive territory, price-wise, though well below ayear ago. The U.S. Depart-ment of Agricultureannounced the May Federalorder Class III benchmarkmilk price at $16.19 per hun-dredweight, up 38 cents fromApril but $6.38 below May2014, $1.56 above Cali-fornia’s comparable 4bcheese milk price, andequates to about $1.39 per gallon, upfrom $1.36 last month. The five-monthClass III price average stands at $15.84,down from $22.94 at this time a yearago and compares to $17.69 in 2013.

Class III futures portend more climbto come. The June contract was tradinglate Friday morning at $16.68. Julywas at $16.88; August, $17.03; Septem-ber, $17.20; October, $17.22; November,$17.28; and December, $17.15. Thatwould put the year’s average at $16.55,down from $22.34 in 2014 and $17.99in 2013.

The May Class IV price is $13.91, up40 cents from April but $8.74 below a

year ago. The five-monthClass IV average stands at$13.65, down from $23.08 in2014 and compares to$18.02 in 2013.

California’s May Class 4bcheese milk price wasannounced by the CaliforniaDepartment of Food andAgriculture at $14.63/cwt.,up 41 cents from April but$4.71 below May 2014, and

$1.56 below the Federalorder Class III price.The Class III has aver-aged $1.77/cwt. above

the California 4b price so far this year,down from an average of $2.01 a yearago. The five month 4b average standsat $14.07, down from $20.94 a year agoand compares to $16.08 in 2013.

The Class 4a butter-powder pricereversed two months of decline and isat $13.91, up 55 cents from April but$8.66 below a year ago. The 4a average,at $13.45, is down from $22.89 a yearago and compares to $17.84 in 2013.

There wasn’t much encouragement inthis week’s Global Dairy Trade auctionwhich saw the weighted average for all

products offered drop 4.3 percent, fol-lowing a 2.2 percent decline in the May19 event, and a 3.5 percent decline May5. This is the sixth consecutive sessionof loss.

All products offers were down, led bybutter, down 10 percent, following a 3.2percent decline in the last event. Anhy-drous milkfat was next, down 7.4 per-cent, following a 4.8 percent declinelast time. Buttermilk powder down 7percent, following a 3.2 percent gainlast time, lactose was down 6.9 percent,after a 0.9 percent gain last time. Ren-net casein was off 4.4 percent, afterinching 0.4 percent lower last time.Whole milk powder was down 3.1 per-cent, following a decline of 0.5 percentin the last event. Skim milk powderrounded out the declines, off 1.3 per-cent after a 3.6 percent decline lasttime. No cheese was offered this week.

FC Stone reports the average GDTbutter price Tuesday equated to about$1.1882 per pound U.S., down from$1.3205 per pound in the May 19 event($1.1592 per pound on 80 percent but-terfat, down from $1.2883 per pound).Contrast that to Chicago MercantileExchange butter which was at $2.0050on Monday but closed Friday at $1.90per pound. GDT skim milk powder, at

89.92 cents per pound U.S., is downfrom 90.36 cents per pound, and thewhole milk powder average at $1.0473per pound U.S., compares to $1.0841in the last event. CME Grade A nonfatdry milk price closed Friday at 88cents per pound.

Regarding the absence of cheese thisweek, FC Stone dairy broker DaveKurzawski said, “The one thing thatseems safe to say is that the Cheddarauction is not bullish. The question is:is it bearish or just quiet? I side withthe latter.

“Reduced volume offerings duringthe slow milk production time are notunusual. I would think offers on Ched-dar also light this time of year in partbecause of a push to make more moz-zarella. Moreover, Cheddar demand islikely going towards European prod-uct due to price discounts there.”

HighGround Dairy’s Eric Meyerwarned in his latest New ZealandDairy Report that “Too much milk isstill a concern across the globe andtherefore difficult to justify dairy com-modity prices rising in the comingmonths.

The mandatory Country of OriginLabeling regulation was initiated for cer-tain U.S. meat products and other foodson March 16, 2009, as part of the 2008farm bill, which was passed by Congressand signed into law. The purpose of theCOOL regulation was to provide arequired method for consumers to havemore label information about the originof certain food products. Now, a recentruling by the World Trade Organizationcould challenge the future of the COOLregulation.

The COOL regulations have beencontroversial and highly politicizedsince the legislation was first intro-duced in the 2002 farm bill, before ulti-mately becoming law as part of the 2008 farm bill.Some consumer and farm organizations, along withsome members of Congress, have strongly supportedthe COOL regulations, and continue to supportCOOL, even after the recent WTO ruling. Otherfarm groups, meat processors, and members of Con-gress oppose the COOL requirements just as pas-sionately.

The COOL regulations, first implemented by theU.S. Department of Agriculture in 2009, required aretail label stating the “country of origin” of beef,veal, pork, lamb, goat, chicken, wild and farm-raised

fish and shellfish, fresh and frozen fruitsand vegetables, peanuts, pecans,macadamia nuts, and ginseng sold byretailers. In the case of the meat products,it only applied to the muscle cuts andground products, and did not apply toprocessed products such as hot dogs,lunch meat and cured products.

In 2013, in response to live animalsbeing transported into the United Statesfrom Canada and Mexico, USDA amendedthe COOL regulation to specify where theanimal was born, raised, and slaughtered.

Under these revised definitions, thereare now four potential COOL labelingcategories for meat products:

A. “Born, Raised, and Slaughtered in the U.S.”(Beef animal born, fed, and processed in the UnitedStates)

B. “Born in (Country X), Raised, and Slaughteredin the U.S.” (Beef animal born in Canada, fed andprocessed in the United States)

C. “Born and Raised in (Country X), and Slaugh-tered in the U.S.” (Beef animal born and fed inCanada, and processed in the United States)

D. “Product of (Country X)” (Beef animal born, fed,and processed in Canada)

The WTO was set up many years ago to expandinternational trade by resolving trade disputesbetween countries and by lowering existing tradebarriers and preventing new barriers. The WTO is aworld trade court or referee to make sure that tradepolicies or regulations implemented by a country donot unfairly have negative impacts on trade of simi-lar products with another country. The WTO hearsboth sides of trade disputes between countries, andthen decides if a trade distortion claim by a countryhas merit. The WTO is a powerful institution with astaff set up to enforce international trade policy.

Canada and Mexico filed a complaint with theWTO stating that the COOL regulations in theUnited States have put beef cattle and hogs originat-ing from the two countries at an unfair trade advan-tage. The complaint indicated that COOL require-

ments have forced U.S. processors to segregate cattleand hogs from Canada and Mexico separately fromU.S. livestock, or to totally reject these cattle andhogs. The complaint states that the U.S. COOL regu-lations have added considerable expense to the meatprocessing industry, and have cost livestock produc-ers and the agriculture industries in Canada andMexico billions of dollars.

The WTO recently ruled in favor of the COOL com-plaint. This was the fourth time in the past few yearsthat the WTO has ruled that the COOL regulation isnegatively impacting the livestock industries inCanada and Mexico.

Following the WTO ruling in favor of Canada andMexico, the countries can now petition the WTO toretaliate against the United States if there are notacceptable corrections made to COOL. The traderetaliation would likely include the implementationof tariffs on certain agricultural imports from theUnited States that go into Canada or Mexico. Thiscould make certain U.S. products less competitive inexport markets, compared to similar products fromother countries that are exported to Canada or Mex-ico. Products mentioned for possible tariffs includebeef, pork, chicken, cheese, bakery goods, apples, riceand quite likely corn and ethanol. It would definitelyhave a big effect on the U.S. agriculture industry.

Canada and Mexico are the largest export marketsfor U.S. products. In 2014, total U.S. exports toCanada were valued at $312 billion, and totalexports to Mexico were valued at $240 billion.Canada and Mexico are Minnesota’s top ag exportcustomers, accounting for 53 percent of the state’stotal agricultural exports. In 2014, Minnesotaexported approximately $912 million of total agricul-tural and food products to Canada alone. Disruptionof export trade with Canada and Mexico couldgreatly impact markets for pork, beef, corn, ethanol,and bakery products, originating from the UpperMidwest. Some fear that the retaliation could extendbeyond agricultural products to other U.S. manufac-tured products.

THIESSE, from pg. 18and signed into law, did notchange the COOL require-ments from the USDA adjustmentsthat were made in 2013. The 2014 farmbill did require USDA to do an eco-nomic analysis of the current COOLregulations. That study, released inMay 2015, was conducted by USDAeconomists and leading economistsfrom major universities. The study con-cluded that there was no economic ben-efit to the meat industry, or the U.S.economy as a whole, from the COOLlabeling requirements for beef, pork,and chicken. The study also concludedthat there is consumer interest in theCOOL regulations, but very little likeli-hood of increased consumer demand formeat products as a result of COOL.

In response to the latest WTO ruling,legislation has been introduced in Con-gress that would eliminate the COOLrequirements for beef, pork, andchicken muscle and ground products.There is considerable bi-partisan sup-port for this legislation in Congress,especially from states that could be fac-ing significant economic impacts fromtrade retaliation by Canada and Mex-ico. Many agricultural and food pro-

cessing groups havesupported this leg-

islation. However,some other leaders in Congress, alongwith other farm organizations and con-sumer groups, have called on USDA totry to work with Canada and Mexico to“tweak” the current COOL require-ments to make them acceptable to theWTO, as well as to Canada and Mexico.

The COOL regulation has not causedmuch discussion in the retail foodindustry in the United States since itsinception in 2009; however, the recentWTO ruling against COOL has nowmoved the COOL debate to the frontburner. This WTO ruling appears tohave the potential to greatly impactfuture export markets to Canada andMexico for U.S. livestock, meat, andother agricultural products.

Even some former supporters ofCOOL are now questioning if theUnited States can afford to maintainthe existing COOL requirements withCanada and Mexico for meat products.It is now up to the USDA and Congressto either eliminate COOL require-ments for U.S. meat products or to fig-ure out a workable solution to main-tain the desired consumer wishes of

COOL. Failure to accomplish this couldhave a large negative impact on agri-cultural exports, and cause consider-able economic hardship to the U.S. live-stock industry.

MIELKE, from pg. 17“Taking a long-term view, it is likely

that global dairy consumption growthrates will exceed production over thenext six months creating a more bal-anced market. Exactly how long ittakes for markets to come back to equi-librium will depend on the extent ofwhich stocks have built throughout thesupply chain.”

■

In other global trade news; NationalMilk Producers Federation Presidentand CEO Jim Mulhern took on theglobal “food fight” in his monthly edito-rial, stating that “NMPF, the U.S. DairyExport Council, and the Consortium forCommon Food Names have beensounding the alarm bells for severalyears about how the European Union— and it’s mainly just a subset of foodcompanies and countries withinEurope — wants to restrict trade bymonopolizing common foods names fortheir exclusive use.”

He said he spent a week in May trav-eling to Brussels, Berlin and Dublin to“deliver the message to a variety of EUpolicymakers and dairy stakeholdersthat these efforts to bastardize the con-

cept of geographic indicators areindeed a very bad thing. If pursued bythe EU’s trade negotiators, this effortwill doom the prospects for a U.S.-EUTransatlantic Trade and InvestmentPartnership. This blatantly anti-com-petitive approach is something thatAmerica’s policymakers just won’tswallow.”

Mulhern said that another importantmessage to make clear was that, fromthe U.S. perspective, some use of geo-graphic indicators can be beneficial, inmoderation.

“But the legitimate use of compoundnames,” he said, “is very different thanrestricting the use of common, genericnames, including parmesan, feta, asi-ago and havarti, just four exampleswhere the EU has been fighting hardto monopolize these names for somemember states (even though feta andhavarti do not refer to any city orregion in the world, let alone a regionof Europe).” You can read Mulhern’sentire editorial at www.nmpf.org.

While avian influenza is having a rip-ple effect across agriculture and ruralcommunities, Minnesota turkey pro-ducers remain on the front line of thevirus’ impact. A total of 108 farms and8.8 million birds have been affected

across the state as of June 5, accordingto the Minnesota Board of AnimalHealth. In Kandiyohi County alone, 40turkey operations have been hit.

“We are farm families. It’s scary. Weare under a siege,” said Kim Halvorson.

She and her husband, Dennis, runHalvorson Farms, a 33,000-capacity

turkey operation near Morris-town in Rice County, Minn.The couple grows heavy tomsin a brooder house and two fin-ishing buildings. Every sixweeks, birds are moving in andout one of the buildings.

“Personally, it’s very, verystressful for us, as it is for allthe growers,” said Halvorson.“Opening the door in the morning isstressful. I hope everything is OK.”

Minnesota is the largest turkey pro-ducer in the United States, but Halvorsonsaid the actual industry is small. Accord-ing to the Minnesota Turkey GrowersAssociation, about 450 family farmersraise 44 to 46 million turkeys annually.

“As growers are breaking with thishorrible virus, we know who they are,we know them personally and yourprayers go out to them as they have todeal with the issues,” she said.

A member of the MTGA, Halvorsonserved on its board of directors.Biosecurity

As of June 5, Rice County had notbeen infected by avian flu. Halvorsonhas about 30,000 birds on her prem-ises and just shipped about a third tomarket.

“Everything we put out is testedbefore it ever leaves the farm,” she said.

Moving the birds to market is lessstressful, but it means that peoplecome out to the farm to help andHalvorson must ensure that allemployees are following the exactsame biosecurity protocol.

“We’re more aware,” she said.In this small, independent farm, the

Halvorsons are for the most part theonly people that go in and out of thebarns. She works in the brooder housewhile her husband works the two fin-ishing barns.

When taking weights, Halvorson willbe needed in the finishing barns. Inthat case, she showers in and out,which she has always done.Industry recovery

Halvorson can’t predict when thisoutbreak will recede, but there is hope.She said 29 barns are coming back intoproduction.

“There are going to be some issueswith getting enough poults,” she said.“We will all feel the pressure becauseso many of the breeder birds weredestroyed.”

Halvorson likened the turkey indus-try to a train that has slowed down.

“It takes time to gather enoughsteam to get it up and running again,”

she said.She expects it will take

another year, but that’s withthe caveat that Minnesotadoesn’t have another outbreak.

An avian flu vaccine is avail-able. However, a blood testcalled a titer measures antibod-ies. If turkeys are vaccinated, a

blood test will show the avian flu anti-body and then the turkey cannot enterthe food market, said Halvorson.

“They can see the markings in theirblood. Before we ship a bird to marketwe have to send in blood samples,” shesaid.

The demand for turkey remainsstrong. Prices for tom breast meatused for deli meat has risen 21 percentto $4 per pound according to theChicago Mercantile Exchange Group.

“As an industry we are very protec-tive about the products we put out,”she said. “ From the get-go, day one,our first priority was that our con-sumers knew our product was com-pletely safe.”Funding

At the state level, MTGA pushed theLegislature to appropriate funds foravian influenza research at the Uni-versity of Minnesota. Money is log-jammed in the session’s omnibus fund-ing bill awaiting special session.

“It’s frustrating,” said Halvorson.According to the Minnesota House

Public Information Service, the billwould appropriate money for avian fluresponse activities: $3.62 million forthe Minnesota Department of Agricul-ture; $1.85 million to the Board of Ani-mal Health and $103,000 to theDepartment of Health.

In addition, $2 million is appropri-ated to the University of Minnesota toresearch the causes and prevention ofAI. Halvorson said the money needs togo to the lab so the university canresearch what’s workable for turkeyproduction. Regarding the avian fluvaccine, research could include how toadapt the blood test to account for thevaccine or change the vaccine.

She noted that there is discussion onadapting the blood test at the nationallevel.

Another $10 million would go torevolving loans for producers whowere impacted by the flu and need torecover from the outbreak.

“A pot of indemnification money issitting there in limbo,” said Halvorson.“Meanwhile they (turkey growers) stillneed to feed their families and paytheir bills.” ❖

Old MacDonald has nothingon you.

He has a farm, you’ll have afarm. On his farm, he hassome cows and pigs andchicks, and your farm willhave animals, too. The onlydifference is that MacDonaldhas had his farm since beforeyour mother was a child, andyou’re pretty green on yours— but you can catch up. Youcan read “Woman-PoweredFarm” by Audrey Levatino.

So you’re getting your veryown spread, or you’ve recently taken control of oneyou’ve lived on for awhile. Women have worked onfarms for centuries, so you’re joining a solid sister-hood; in fact, recent studies show that over 13 per-cent of all farms in the United States are operatedby women, and that includes women who are AfricanAmerican, Native American and Asian.

There’s a lot to learn when you want to run a suc-cessful farm of any sort but, above all, you’ll need

somewhere to do it. The bestadvice Levatino says she gotwhen she and her husbandfirst began farming: “too muchland is never a bad thing.” Andyet, finding a location may bepremature if you’re unsure ofwhat direction to take. In thatcase, you may consider aninternship or apprenticeship.

Soak up all the lessons youcan find, query your localfarm bureau, or talk to acounty agent. As one inter-viewee points out, to learnon a farm, all you ever needto do is ask.

It goes without sayingthat different kinds offarms need different kindsof tools, but there are obvi-ous requirements across-the-board, says Levatino.You may need a chain sawor tractor, and you’ll wantto know how to safely

operate both. In this book,you’ll learn the basics formaintaining a water systemand a wood-burning stove,the overall differences infencing, and which just-in-case items to keep in yourfarm truck.

You can do it — How female farmers work the land

Some days I don’t know what in the name of Ger-tie’s garter goes on around here.

It started out as a normal day. My husband wasworking on a shed he was building, when his phonerang that afternoon — as it does at least a gazilliontimes a day. It would make me crazy.

Pretty soon he traipsed up to the house with asmall power tool and asked if I would take it over to

our son, who had just called asking to borrow it.“He said the bull has his head stuck in something,”

my husband said.So as farm wives do, I dropped what I was doing

and headed over to where our son was to give himthe tools to set the bull free from his bondage. As pri-orities go, freeing a bull trumps mending blue jeans,even though there would probably be more of those

to mend after the emergencybovine rescue attempt —whether the mission succeededor failed.

I was halfway there whenour son called to say he didn’tneed the tool anymore, that thebull was free. I turned aroundand went home, and everyonewent about their day.

Later that evening the ladyof the farm where the bull wasstaying was telling me howfunny it looked seeing the bull

with his head stuck, and said she would send me thevideo she took while out surveying the situation withthe guys.

Turns out — unknown to us, the bull had his headstuck in a tree trunk. Yes. A tree trunk.

I’m certain I would have been the ‘DoubtingThomas’ back in biblical days, where I would need tosee it to believe it. But there he was in living color —a bull’s big, bulky body sticking out from a treetrunk, his tail swinging as if it was just another dayout in the pasture.

It was funny to sit at the computer and watch thevideo of the guys working together to free the bull’shead from such a ridiculous make-shift trap. Actu-ally, he looked very Winnie-the-Pooh-like.

Trying to imagine what he had been thinking toget himself into this ridiculous situation, we guessedhe was investigating what a hole in a tree trunkcould offer for food or excitement, and perhaps he gota little more than he bargained for.

It had to be hard on his ego.I’ve heard of people with their heads stuck in the

sand — and even in specific anatomical locations —but even this was more than I could believe, seeing itwith my own eyes.

We watched the brief video with fixed fascinationand muffled giggles. We gazed at the two guys work-ing on the tree, carefully monitoring the bull’s reac-tion, and working slowly and mechanically to open upthe part of the tree that enveloped the bull’s head.

Inventors continue to improve the way we catchhousehold mice today, but Mother Nature came up withher own way to catch a bull — and without a rope.

Our other son posted a picture of it on Facebookwith the caption, “This is the luck we have.” And he’sright — if your last name is Schwaller, you’ll findyourself in some of the damndest situations. It’s aguarantee that comes right along with the name.

Just as humorous were the comments that camefrom others who saw the photo. One said, “I hope hisoffspring are smarter, or you’ll be busy next sum-mer.” Our daughter commented, “I think the herdgenetics could use some attention.”

It was just another typical day at the Schwallers’.And that’s no bull.

Since 1916

SILO COMPANYBOOKWORM , from pg. 25You’ll also learn that farming is for cities, too.And then there are the animals because, really,

what’s a farm withouta cat or two, and adog, at least? Levatinoexplains pros andcons for various live-stock, how to keepthem, and how shememorialized theinevitable harsh real-ity.

If you know yourway around a barn oryou’re already farm-experienced, you canstop right here. Thisbook isn’t for you.

No, “Woman-Pow-ered Farm” is more forthe newbies who have no idea what they’re gettingthemselves into, and who need the basics. Levatinogives them that in a no-nonsense, reassuring tone

that’s not conde-scending.

She offers inter-views, tips and hintsto help get manykinds of operationsrunning, includingsafety reminders,ideas on bookkeep-ing, gardeningadvice, and enoughinfo to empowereven the most citi-fied reader.

Established farm-ers might get a kickout of this book.They might learnsomething. It’s cer-tainly no crime forthem to read it, butits rudimentaryapproach is more forthe neophyte who

needs down-on-the-farm direction and a boost of self-assurance.

If that’s you, than “Woman-Powered Farm” willquickly have you saying “E-I-E-I… Ohhh!”

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

Art in motionThis week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondent Renae Vander Schaaf

Clocks have been and continue tobe works of art. Especially whenone views the sculptured clocks

of artisan James Borden of Sibley,Iowa.

The mystery and beauty of clockscaptivated him from his youth. Begin-ning with the cuckoo clock in his par-ent’s home, then adding GrandpaHerman’s ancient shelf clock. TheBilly Clock Museum in Spillvilleincreased his interest andcontinues to provide inspira-tion.

But it was a visit to theclock of all clocks — theRathaus-Glockenspiel inMunich, Germany thatsealed his fate. Clocksbecame his passion.

The next 30 years wouldfind him designing and creat-ing sculptured clocks. Hiswork is shown at the bestjuried art shows often on theEast Coast. At the Smithson-ian Fine Craft and other eliteshows he has come home withawards.

Borden begins with raw wood,studying the natural curves and linesin a slab, selecting the piece that bestfits his design. Using lathes, saws andsanders, each piece is handmadeincluding the gears.

“Almost everything in the clock isfunctional,” said Borden. To make aworking clock involves artistic design,mathematics, engineering andphysics. Borden readily admits tobeing an artist, not an engineer. Heexperiments with balance and shape,working it out, hands on, to achieve awell-running clock that is its ownpower source — the pendulum andweights that need to be started daily.

Each of the 300 clocks he has madeis an original: kinetic art, art inmotion, a moving sculpture. A wholelot goes into the design.

He listens to what his customerwants, making the clocks to fit thespace available. Sometimes vertical,other times horizontal. Some clocksstand on the floor, others on a stand,others hang on the wall.

When asked how many hours go intoa clock, Borden says, “That can’t reallybe calculated, for where do I begin?Much time is spent contemplating thedesign and in the choosing and cutting

of the wood. My wife likes to say mywhole life goes into each clock, whenconsidering the years of experienceand study that is in each clock.”

His business, Timeshapes, is locatedon the main street of Sibley, Iowa,since his wife, Rev. Barbara Kopperudwas called to be the pastor at the localTrinity Lutheran Church in 2012.

“We love it here,” said Borden.He is putting the finishing touches

on his studio/workshop in a historicold building that was once thoughtbest to be demolished. It has givenhim the space and the right atmos-phere to display his sculpture artclocks.

The studio does not keep regularhours, but is open by appointment.Tour groups are welcome. ContactBorden at www.timeshapes.com or e-mail [email protected]. ❖
