Spring planting updatesfrom farmers across

Minnesota & northernIowa ~ Page 15

Every spring thousands of graduatesare ready to take the world by storm,ending one chapter of their lives andstarting another.

High school graduates are ready for thebig world in front of them — heading offto the work force, military, two-yearschool or four-year college or university.They may think they know how their lifewill play out, but here’s a clue for you:don’t be so sure.

So many years ago, when I graduatedfrom high school, I never thought that Iwould be working as the editor of one ofthe best farm-rural life magazines inthe state of Minnesota.

No way.I was going to be a veterinarian,

then I was going to be a hog farmer,then I was going to be an agteacher. After realizing that chem-istry kicked my butt, the ag econ-omy of the mid-1980s wasn’t wel-coming young farmers, and for thatsame reason school districts werelooking at the vocational-agricul-ture programs as a budget cut tar-get, I figured I’d better look atanother field.

That’s when I remembered that Ienjoyed writing and telling peoples’stories. And, if I could write and tellstories of people involved in agricul-ture and rural America, that wouldbe better yet.

The same holds true for collegegraduates. Even once I got deeperin the agricultural journalism pro-gram at the South Dakota StateUniversity, I envisioned myselfbeing in ag radio. I saw myselfbeing the next Roger Strom, DonWick, Tom Rothman or LynnKetelsen. I couldn’t see myself working in the printmedia, because, for one thing, I couldn’t type. I stillcan’t.

Graduates, don’t be afraid of what’s ahead. No oneknows what the future holds in the next chapter oflife. So make a decision, move ahead and make the

best of it.Chances are your first job will not be

your last job. Again, using me as anexample, my first job lasted six weeks,second job lasted one-and-a-half years,third job nine months and now I’ve beenat The Land since February of 1990.

Not only do many people change jobs,many also change careers. Even though Iam on my fourth job, I have stayed in thesame career. And the real surprising, andfortunate, thing is that even with thesejob changes, I only needed to move once.

The chapters of my life’s book havebeen full, and I hope and pray the same

is true for all you high school and col-lege graduates. There will bebumps in the road, there will bedetours and there may be somedead ends. Each of the turns alongthe way will build inner strengthand build your character.

You will need that because youwill meet your share of charactersalong the way.

Remember the characters thatyou have met along the way,because they all have helped makeyou the person you are today.Everyone’s chapters are filled withcharacters, and as any good storythere are villains and heroes. Thegood, the bad and the ugly — theyall make us complete.

Some of these characters onlystick around for a page or two ineach chapter, others the full chap-ter, yet others make the runthrough your whole book of life.

Just as the graduates turn thepage to another chapter in theirlives, it has come time for me to

open another chapter in my life. It’s been a goodrun, and thanks to all the characters of The Landand its readers for making my book complete up tothis point.

Most experts agree that the climate ischanging in the world and that CO2 lev-els have increased in the atmosphere,however, whether that is changing the climate or it’ssimply a part of a changing weather is open fordebate.

I’m not making a case if man is altering the climateor not, but our reaction seems a bit excessive andunorganized.

In the 1970s the experts warned of a global cool-down (or ice age) because of the combustion engine.When that theory didn’t pan out, the name waschanged to global warming, and when the public did-n’t buy into that, climate change became the mantra.The changing names certainly makes the publicwary.

Now, it’s a government full-court press on climatechange, but in my mind it’s over the top and unor-ganized.

First, NASA has been converted from a spaceagency to a climate change agency. We no longerhave the shuttle program and space is not a priority.In addition, the Environmental Protection Agencyhas moved ahead with a Cap and Trade policy thatwas defeated in Congress, and climate change istheir top priority.

Coal plants are being closed, and a laundry list ofrules and regulations that fills thousands of pages.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture hasclimate change as their top priority, and

now Climate Hubs are being created formore research. On top of that, the U.S. State Depart-ment has stated that climate change is more of athreat than terrorism and is a top priority.

The new Department of Defense budget came outwith millions of dollars proposed for, you guessed it,climate change. And even the National Weather Ser-vice has climate change as their prime directive.

So we have NASA, EPA, USDA, State Department,Department of Defense and Weather Service and Cli-mate Hubs all engaged in climate change. When isenough enough?

How about one agency working on climate changeand the rest doing the jobs they were created for. Andas for priorities, job creation and the economy ispretty darned important and should be a priority.

Again, I’m not making a judgment on this issue,just saying our approach is over the top and toospread out to be effective, and it seems to be at theexpense of other important issues.

Time we take a reasoned, scientific approach. Rightnow, politics is ruling the day.

OPINION

History doesn’t note thefirst instance of price fixingor monopoly but it’s a safe betall were around long beforeMoses and the “Thou shallnot steal” commandment.

History does record whenthe U.S. Congress acted to pro-hibit monopoly and antitrustin business; first, in 1890, withthe passage of the ShermanAntitrust Act and, second, in1914, with the adoption of theClayton Antitrust Act.

Both encompass a simple idea: an open,competitive marketplace is a fair market-place. In a 1993 Sherman Act case beforeit, the U.S. Supreme Court explained itthis way: “The purpose of the Act is not toprotect businesses from the workings ofthe market; it is to protect the publicfrom the failure of the market.”

That underpinning theology, however,has changed over time. Company merg-ers and corporate joint ventures thatjust 20 years ago were either unthink-able or considered illegal or both arenow almost routine.

For example, on May 20 the U.S.Department of Justice blessed a flourmilling joint venture between branchesof three former competitors, ConAgra,Cargill and CHS. See http://farmand-foodfile.com/in-the-news for sourcematerial.

The deal, that joins two of the topthree flour millers in the nation, mar-ries ConAgra Mill’s 21 mills with the 20operated by Horizon Milling, an existingjoint venture between Cargill and CHS.

The dowry for this three-cornered marriage was dirt

cheap: Justice required the proposed newentity to sell mills in Los Angeles, Oak-land, New Prague, Minn., and Saginaw,Texas, to “ensure that competition forhard and soft wheat flour sales is pre-served in regions surrounding” LA, Dal-las, the Twin Cities and “the Bay Area.”

The ConAgra/Cargill/CHS deal is thesecond flour deal milled by Justice thisspring. The first, which closed May 8,brought together Milner Milling andCereal Food Processors. Combined, thatnew firm will mill an estimated164,000 hundredweight per day.

That may sound big — it is, after all,the third-largest daily milling capacity inthe United States — but it’s puny com-pared to the capacity of the two biggerboys leading the pack. Number two ADMFlour Milling delivers an estimated281,000 cwt. per day and the ConAgra/Cargill/CHS firm, called Ardent, will milla whopping 500,000 cwt. or so.

With that much capacity, it’s esti-mated that Ardent will control at least34 percent of the nation’s wheat

milling. Colorado Gov. John Hicken-looper, who put together an incentivedeal that enticed Ardent to locate itsheadquarters in his state, called thatnumber “hardly a monopoly.”

Monopoly? No. Huge? Yes.And there’s more.The four flour mills Justice required

Ardent to divest in order to be born allwent to Miller Milling which, via gov-ernment edict, grew its daily capacityfrom about 12,000 cwt. to nearly100,000 cwt. That explosive growthtook Miller from a tiny player in U.S.flour to the fourth largest overnight.

It also means that in the last monththe Justice Department and Ardenthave virtually remade the entire Amer-

ican flour milling sector. Together thetwo have anointed a new number oneplayer, Ardent; a new number three,Milner; and a new number four, Miller.

Even more remarkable, perhaps, isthat this wholesale change occurredwithout one public hearing in Con-gress, the courts or the press.

This near-total lack of publicinvolvement suggests that more foodmergers, makeovers and consolida-tions will be forthcoming becausethese government-blessed deals areabout market power on both sides ofthe business coin — paying farmersless for the wheat to make the flour,then charging consumers more for it.

It’s an old story first told in the GoodBook, then in the U.S. Congress.

That last one isn’t so old. The U.S.House passed the Clayton AntitrustAct exactly 100 years ago this week,June 5, 1914. This June 5, however, allbut marks its passing.

FARM & FOOD FILE

In the past few years, the cost of solarhas dropped dramatically, making it aviable option for those wishing to save onenergy costs. The federal government hascreated various financial incentive pro-grams to encourage businesses and home-owners to invest in renewables and manystates and utilities are doing the same.

These tax credits, grants, incentives,and depreciation make the payback on asolar pv system quick and affordable.For example, one customer received allof their investment back after one taxcycle. The customer took advantage ofthe 30 percent ITC, a REAP grant, astate grant, and an accelerated deprecia-tion opportunity. This is not typical, butit does happen. Farmers who takeadvantage of the available incentivessee a return on investment in approxi-mately four to six years.Then the energyproduced from the installation will be at

little or no cost for decades to come.Since 2006, Harvest Energy Solutions’

goal has been to assist farmers and ranch-ers in becoming energy efficient and inde-pendent. Leveraging more than 100 yearsof collective commercial equipment instal-lation experience with a renewed focus onsolar photovoltaic and other renewablesystem designs and installations, Harvestworks hard to meet the needs of Midwest-ern farm customers. Covering Minnesota,Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Michi-gan, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Ten-nessee with territory managers and rep-resentatives, Harvest has been namedone of the 2013 Top 250 U.S. Solar Con-tractors by Solar Power World.

Is it time to consider solar?

Farmers often face countless delayswhen planting and harvesting theircrops. The last thing they need is athicket of regulatory delays that hinder their abilityto utilize enhanced agricultural technologies. Unfor-tunately, that is the case when it comes to enhancedcrop traits and advanced herbicide application.

It is estimated that by 2050 the world populationwill require 100 percent more food, with 70 percentcoming from enhanced-efficiency technology. Thechallenges of feeding a growing world population ona fixed land base, as well as increased competitionfor water and other natural resources, will have sig-nificant ramifications for food security both domes-tically and abroad.

Continued advancements in agricultural technol-ogy are critical to feeding a hungry world. Increasedcrop yields, mitigation of the environmental impactof agricultural practices, and development of cropsthat are tolerant of poor environmental conditionssuch as drought or excessive weeds all play animportant role in America’s farmers fulfilling thisimportant mission.

For example, the Enlist Weed Control system rep-resents one of the first new weed-control systems tohit the market in more than a decade. It combines aproprietary blend of glyphosate and 2,4-D cholinewith innovative crop traits that can tolerate thatherbicide. The end result is a product that can killweeds without harming crops.

With more than 4,000 peer-reviewed publications

over the past six decades, no herbicide hasbeen more studied than 2,4-D. When used

according to label and product instruc-tions, 2,4-D does not pose any unreasonable or unnec-essary risk to humans, animals or the environment.

Regulatory agencies in more than 70 countries,including Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany,France, Australia and the United States Environ-mental Protection Agency have authorized use of 2,4-D within the last decade, based on their own rigorousevaluations of the data and potential effects of theherbicide on human health and the environment.

Herbicides are vital tools in helping farmers man-age one of the most significant threats to crops:weeds. Effective weed management allows for theuse of fewer resources, in the form of less fertilizer,water and fuel, due to reduced tillage. The resultsare less soil erosion, higher crop yields, lower foodprices and U.S. farmers maintaining a competitiveadvantage in the global marketplace.

Opponents of allowing farmers access to enhancedcrop traits and enhanced agricultural technology con-tinue to sow seeds of fear and misinformation, result-ing in a harvest of regulatory delay. They choose to

appeal to emotion while ignoring sound science andthey willfully choose to ignore that responsible prac-tices, coupled with herbicide formulation improve-ments, help prevent off-target movement and harmthat may harm neighboring crops caused by drift andvolatility. The ongoing collaboration between farm-ers, sensitive crop grower groups, state regulatoryagencies, the crop protection sector and projects suchas DriftWatch have enhanced our understanding ofenhanced agricultural technologies.

It is time for the Obama administration to break theregulatory impasse that has delayed movement ofenhanced technology to the marketplace. In so, theadministration will provide farmers the option of avoid-ing additional equipment, fuel and labor expenses asthey continue to practice conservation tillage — while,at the same time, effectively controlling weeds.

A growing population and a hungry world awaitthe bounty produced by America’s farmers.

OPINION

A few years ago, while cruis-ing with a co-worker throughan area community on asteamy summer day, we passeda vacant lot.

There, oblivious to the heatand humidity, a group of kidswere playing a game of pick-upbaseball, racing down well-worn paths to makeshift bases,shagging pop-flies in theweedy outfield.

A few decades ago, such ascene wouldn’t have attracted a second glance. Butnowadays, kids playing anything outside is unusualenough that we had to circle the block and watch theyoung ballplayers for a few minutes.

Particularly on such a hot, summer day, most kidslikely were comfortable in an air-conditioned housesitting in front of a flickering computer screen.

Purely an anecdotal observation, but one based onfour decades of searching for photographs of youthfulslices of life, kids just don’t seem to log outdoor timelike they once did. It is the curse of aging, I suppose,to suggest that things were different when we werekids.

We were out of the house as soon as possible to jointhe pick-up games of baseball that formed almostdaily on the rag-tag ball diamond near the PhillipsOil bulk plant next to the Rock Island railroadtracks of my hometown.

But the community also was nestled around a lakewhere the prospect of catching a catfish, some crap-pies or wonder of wonders, a walleye, sometimes heldas much allure as tagging a grand slam off theneighbor kid’s round-house curve.

Frequently on summer mornings, with a galva-nized minnow pail swinging from the handlebars,rods poking from our saddle baskets, we’d head downto the lake to poke around the docks, the powerplant, in search of finned quarry.

Of course, youngsters still can be found prowlingthe banks of area lakes on summer days. But like theyouthful baseball players, they seem to be increas-ingly rare.

We like to think of Minnesota as a state of angling.Certainly, there are a lot of Minnesotans who fish alittle and some who fish a lot.

But like so many things outdoor-related, the connec-tion with outdoor activities that once was so strong inMinnesotan’s hearts has grown more tenuous.

There are so many other things to command ourtime and attention. There are the economics to beconsidered, the family structure. For whatever rea-son, if mom and dad don’t fish, it’s unlikely their kidswill either.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resourcesover the years has recognized the challenge andvalue of recruiting youthful participants into thehunting and fishing ranks.

Several events, ranging from turkey to deer tosmall game hunting, have been held annually to

encourage youth to sample outdoor recreationalopportunities.

This weekend, June 6-8 is “Take a Kid FishingWeekend.” To encourage adults to take youngstersfishing, anyone 16 or older who otherwise wouldneed a fishing license can fish without one, so longas they are accompanied by a youth age 15 or less.

The idea is simple: Make it easy and inexpensivefor a non-angler to take the time to introduce a kidto the joy of wetting a line.

While having access to a boat is always nice andcertainly adds a dimension of adventure to plyingthe waters of local lakes where shorelines aremostly privately owned, it isn’t necessary.

Many area lakes have public fishing piers avail-able. A complete list of lake where the piers areinstalled can be found at http://goo.gl/geu32D.

We pour money into our 401k, into stock market,all with the idea that it’s an investment in thefuture.

Kids are no different.A little time spent with them next weekend, in a

boat, along a shoreline, on a fishing pier, waiting fora tug on the line...

It’s also an investment in the future.John Cross is a Mankato (Minn.) Free Press staff

THE OUTDOORS

By John Cross

File photo

Lately, it seems as thougheverything sets your teethon edge.

The neighbors are waytoo noisy. Customer service… isn’t. Your in-laws are abunch of ingrates. And yourco-workers? Let’s not gothere.

You’re over just abouteverything: overworked,overloaded, and over-whelmed. But when youread “The Mayo ClinicGuide to Stress-Free Liv-ing” by Amit Sood, M.D., M.Sc, you might start tofeel overall better.

In today’s world, it’s nearly impossible not to feelstrain. At least that’s how it seems, and it only getsworse as we “get hijacked by impulses, infatuationand fear,” the brain wants to “escape the presentmoment,” and the mind thinks everything’s a dan-ger. Says Sood, we “struggle with what is,” which isthe very definition of stress.

Part of the reason for the struggle is that, whenyou’re awake, your brain operates in one of twoways: default or focused. You’ve undoubtedly experi-enced both.

In focused mode, you’re so immersed in the task athand that you forget about almost everything sur-rounding you. In default mode, your brain wanderslike an idle shopper, moseying from problem toworry to idea, spinning and projecting future sce-narios. The key is to teach yourself to stay on“focused” mode and out of the “black hole” of mean-dering default.

Part of that can be done with “attention training,”

which has many facets andwhich “speaks to the child” inyou; and by “refining interpre-tations,” which appeals to theadult within.

Learn to pay “joyful atten-tion,” which helps with calmingand keeps your mind occupiedso it doesn’t wander. LearnCRAVE, patience, and CALFwhen relating to others. Freeyour prejudices in order to“open to the world.” Accept thatnothing is perfect and that there are times when for-giveness isn’t required. Begin each day with thank-fulness. Learn pride in work. And remember thatcompassion for others should extend to compassionfor yourself.

When an institution like the Mayo Clinic attachesits name to a book, you kind of expect it’d be totallyserious stuff, right?

Nope. Author Amit Sood has quite a bit of fun inthis book, which certainly supports its title and its

joyful cover.But first, “The Mayo

Clinic Guide to Stress-Free Living” opens in aclassroom then turns tothe science of the brain,which serves as a nicereminder but — sincebookstore shelves arepacked with brain books— might be unnecessaryfor some readers.

That’s okay, though,because what comes nextis worth it: Sood teaches

us to “train” our minds to stresswhen appropriate, live withacceptance, and appreciate others.This, too, might be repetitious forreaders who’ve filled up on motiva-tional-type books like this one,though I took great delight in thisparticular handling of the subject.

I also liked that Sood didn’t pre-tend this is easy, but reducingstress and lessening worry suresounds appealing and that’s

Stillwater High School placed first at the Min-nesota State Envirothon contest, and will advanceto the regional Envirothon in Illinois.

Hopkins High School received second place andSt. John’s Prep earned third place. The Minnesota

event was hosted by St. John’s Outdoor University inCollegeville, Minn.

This annual event is an outdoor academic competi-tion that tests students’ knowledge of aquatics,forestry, soil and land use, wildlife, and a current

environmental topic. In addition to the state ques-tions, students were required to compose and pres-ent a 10-minute oral presentation on the currentissue, and answer questions from the panel ofjudges. This year’s oral presentation topic was “sus-tainable agriculture.”

Test questions for each of the five resource stationswere prepared by natural resource professionalsfrom SWCDs, USDA Natural Resources Conserva-tion Service, Sustainable Farming Association, St.John’s University and many other resource experts.

Sponsors of this year’s Minnesota State Envi-rothon competition include the local SWCDs, theMinnesota Association of Soil and Water Conserva-tion Districts, Minnesota Association of Conserva-tion District Employees, Minnesota Corn Growers,Great River Energy, Minnesota Erosion ControlAssociation, Minnesota Chapter of the Soil & WaterConservation Society and Cenex Harvest States.

Stillwater Area High School will have the opportu-nity to represent Minnesota as they compete at Loy-ola University Chicago in Woodstock, Ill., Aug. 3-8.They will be competing with teams from nine otherstates in the Midwest for scholarships and prizes atthe Regional Stewardship Challenge.

Agricultural roots run deep.

I write this column in mem-ory of an old farmer whopassed away over a year ago.Agiant of a man — not in physi-cal stature, but of character. Hewas a quiet and hard-workingman who stayed busy enoughtaking care of his own businessthat he didn’t have time toworry about anyone else’s. Hewas a kind and gentle manwho loved his family and thework that he was called to do in this life —raising the food that feeds the world.

But to him, it was more than food forthe world. It was who he was, and hisidentity as a farmer ran parallel to thelove he had for his vocation, but espe-cially for his milk cows.

That love of farming and of milking thecows ran just as deep for his wife. Theyworked together for all of the 65 yearsthey were married. Much of their timetogether was spent working together onthe farm, but some of their favorite timewas spent in the milking barn.

Devoted to their lives on the farm,they rarely ever left other than to haulcommodities to the elevator or run afew errands in town. So when their sonannounced that he was to be marriedaway from their hometown, it meantthat they would need to spend a fewdays away to attend the wedding. But italso meant they would be away fromtheir milk cows — whom they protectedalmost as much as their own children.

It also meant they wouldhave to trust someone withthe cows’ care, but whom? Itwas the first time in a quar-ter of a century that theywould miss a milking.

Certainly it had takenthem hours of thought todecide who they would leavetheir beloved cows with, butapparently my husband hadmade the cut. And so thedate was set for my hus-

band to come over and get the how-tosfrom them for doing their chores.

There were various chores, but whenthey entered the milking barn together,my husband could plainly see that itwasn’t just about milking the cows — itwas about the relationships that thesepeople had established with those gen-tle, four-legged beasts.

As they walked around, the man’swife showed him where all of theequipment was, and then she intro-duced my husband to each of the cowsin their small herd. “This one likes tobe scratched under the chin,” she saidas she showed him exactly where. “…and this one likes just a little extraslab of hay ... and this one’s name is(whatever).”

Her quiet husband followed behind,smiling and winking at my husband asshe laid out the specifics about everycow in the barn. He didn’t have much tosay about it, except to lovingly suggestto her that she might be telling my hus-

band a little more than he reallyneeded to know. (Followed by that char-acteristic and peaceful smile and wink.)

It was clearly going to be hard forthem to leave for those few days, but itwas going to be the most personalexperience of milking cows that myhusband would ever have — given thatresponsibility by two people who couldonly be taken away from their cows bysuch an event as the wedding of one oftheir children.

My husband learned something in

that time as well. He decided that ifreincarnation was true, he would wantto come back to earth as one of theircows, because he could see by theirgentle nature, how well they werecared for. (That may or may not saysomething about the way I had caredfor my husband; names can bechanged to protect the innocent.) Hecould see that those cows not onlywere loved, but felt loved. They eachproduced far more milk than he couldhave ever imagined.

It was a sad day a few years laterwhen they decided they were nolonger able to continue milking, andthe cows left the farm. Farewells weresaid between man and beast, andquiet tears followed.

Those quiet tears flowed again as wetook this wonderful man to his finalplace of rest. He returned to the landhe loved so much, to be part of it in adifferent — and perhaps, more per-sonal — way.

Agricultural roots run deep. Andthank God they do, for the sake of thenext generation — who will also findthemselves someday resting in theland they have loved. That kind anddepth of love could only be handeddown to them by their brothers inagriculture — just like the one weremember today.

FOREST LAKE, Minn. — “Is it tooearly in the morning for a chocolatetreat?” Florence Daninger asks two 11a.m. visitors to Autumnwood Farm’son-farm micro creamery in ruralWashington County.

When she learns it’s not too earlyshe takes a glass pint jar of chocolatemilk from the well-stocked retailcooler, and pours out sample cups ofthe creamery’s chocolate milk.

Autumnwood’s chocolate milk ismade from whole milk from the farm’sHolstein herd, and rich dark choco-late. For those unfamiliar with wholemilk, a glass of Autumnwood choco-

late milk will seem as thickand tasty as a chocolate milkshake.

“We use a slower pas-teurization processwith a lower heatso we are able toretain a raw milkflavor but still meetall the pasteurizationrequirements of theDepartment of Agriculture,” said PatDaninger, Florence’s son.

“The glass bottles also help preservethe flavor and keep the milk colderwhen you set the bottle on the table fora meal,” Shar, Pat’s wife, said.

The Daningers bottle skim, 1 per-

cent, whole and chocolate milk in glasspints and half gallons. They also bottle

Creamline, which is non-homog-enized whole milk,along with half-and-

half, cream, and pumpkinspice eggnog in season.

“We can’t keep upwith the demandfor the egg nog,”Pat said. “People

start placing their orders in Septem-ber.”

Pat’s grandparents, Frank andStephanie, started the farm in 1902.Pat’s father, Mike, took it over 40 yearslater, just before beginning his mili-tary service. He left the farm under thecare of his 19 year-old brother, Tom.When he returned from war in 1945 hebegan managing the farm. Mike andFlorence, who is a former schoolteacher, were married in 1953 andoperated the farm until early in thiscentury.

“Prior to his dad’s death he gave Patpermission to sell the farm,” Florencesaid. “Pat wouldn’t sell it. He said

there was too much history here.”Pat intended to honor his elder’s his-

tory but he also intended to placeAutumnwood Farm firmly in the 21stcentury. Major expansion, in theincreasingly ex-urban area of ForestLake, was out of the question.

“At the time I was reading a lot abouthow more and more people wanted toknow where their food came from,” Patsaid.

Through a round-about series of con-nections he learned of an on-farmdairy in Kansas and through themlearned of a man in Arkansas who wasan expert in putting together microcreameries with used equipment.

“If I had purchased new equipment itwould have cost me a million dollars,”Pat said. “With his help we were ableto do this for $200,000.”

But even with the lower cost, theDaninger family was required to takea huge leap of faith into an unknownfuture. They sent the Arkansas expert,a veritable stranger, a $40,000 down

DANINGER, from pg. 12payment and then put a lien on thefarm. Leaping into an unknown futuretakes its toll as that future unfolds.

“He’s aged a lot,” his mother said.“Sometimes I would

just go to the barn andwork with the cows,”Pat said. “I understoodthe cows. It was com-forting.”

Throughout theprocess of building andassembling the cream-ery, strange new equip-ment from across theUnited States keptarriving in the farm-yard. There were sepa-rators, a pasteurizer, anextra large bulk tankand the all-importantbottling equipment.Today, in the creamery,Pat can point to each one, tell its story,and say where it came from.

One of the strangest was the $15,000bottle washer.

“It was a victim of the hurricane Kat-rina,” he said. “It had been covered insalt water and was now covered withrust. When I first saw it on the truck Iwanted to send it back.”

Instead, the rusted hulk was takenoff the truck, carefully taken apart

piece by piece, cleaned and reassem-bled. Today it runs smoothly as itcleans the bottles and sends them tothe bottling machine. Pat knows it,and all the other pieces of equipment,intimately.

“We had one test runwith the consultantbefore he left,” Pat said.“The next time we ranit on our own. That dayI milked cows, workedin the bottling plant,went back to milkingcows, and then wentback to the creameryand worked all night.”

There are fewer end-less days and bumps inthe road these daysthanks to theDaningers’ increasedaptitude with thecreamery equipment.Thanks also go to a

highly qualified staff in the creameryand on the road.

“Jim Riter, who is the operationsmanager for the creamery, is excel-lent,” Pat said. “He is also verymechanically inclined.”

“Our driver, Doug Smith, had been ahome route deliveryman for 30 yearsbefore he came to us,” Shar said. “He’sgreat.” Smith is especially popularwith the staff of the 15 coffee shops in

the Twin Cities that AutumnwoodDairy serves.

“The coffee shops really like ourwhole milk because it is nice andfrothy for lattes,” she said.

Smith also takes products to numer-ous retail outlets in the Twin Citiesincluding Mississippi Market, eightCub Foods locations, seven FestivalFoods stores and eight Kowalski’s loca-tions, among others.

“We are responsible for stocking ourown shelves and we take back anymilk that doesn’t sell before expira-tion,” Pat said. “We can feed that milkto our calves so it isn’t wasted.”

Shar and Florence operate the retailstore on the farm. The store is opennoon to 6 p.m. Monday through Fri-day, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday.

DANINGER, from pg. 13“People have lots of questions and this is a great opportu-

nity to educate the public,” Florence said.“People really enjoy coming directly to the farm where the

milk comes from,” Shar said. “Even driving down a gravelroad is an adventure for some people.”

In addition to selling Autumnwood Farm products, Sharhas spent a lot of time finding other locally produced farmproducts such as honey, maple syrup and sausage to sell inthe store.

“We want to support other farmers in the area,” Shar said.“It also helps with our sales.”

The family is also deeply involved in community organiza-tions such as FFA, 4-H, and the American Dairy Association.The Daninger family supports the community and the com-munity supports them.

“In years past we have had a farm and city day,” Shar said.For the 2013 farm and city day more than a thousand people

visited the farm, asked questions, took tours, went on hay rides,watched cows being milked and had a fun and educational expe-rience. This year, however, there will be no farm and city daybecause their daughter is graduating from high school.

Operating the creamery has enriched the Daninger fam-ily’s lives. It has also added a complexity to their lives, whichincludes employees, retail sales, distribution, and moreintensive sanitation and inspection requirements.

The micro creamery has also connected them with the peo-ple who drink their milk in a way that selling milk as a com-modity never would. ❖

With expansion of the dairy farm out of the question, Pat Daninger decided toopen a micro creamery on his family’s farm.

By KRISTIN KVENOThe Land CorrespondentThe ThronsonsGary, Minn.

Another day with theplanter, another daycloser to having all thecrops in the ground andthe 2014 planting sea-son complete.

The Land spoke withJared Thronson on May 28 as he wasplanting soybeans and counting down theacres until he was done. The weatherchanged his original planting plans but heknows by now that sometimes change isnecessary for a successful crop.

“I ended up getting 160 acres of corntotal,” Thronson said. That being said,he “only planted half the corn I wasplanning.” But as the days passed andcorn seed sat in the bag rather thanbeing put in the ground thanks to a wetspring, Thronson knew he needed tomake a change. He last planted corn onMay 20 then decided to change half hiscorn acres to soybeans.

How does he feel about his decision tochange crops during planting? “I’m happyabout it.” He hopes this will translate intoa “nicer fall; less corn to deal with.”

Thronson said he could finally seethe light at the end of the tunnel —“I’m on the last field of beans.” Withabout 150 acres of beans and 25 acresof wheat to plant, he expects to com-plete planting by Friday, just in time tobe best man in his good friend’s wed-ding that weekend.

While the weather didn’t cooperatewhen Thronson initially wanted to get inthe field, it’s been behaving ever since. “Ihaven’t been rained out since we got goinglast week.” The rain has stayed away andthe temperatures have risen, both essen-tial to get this crop in.

Once planting is complete he’ll begin“getting things ready to spray,” andsavor the fact that “things will beslower and more relaxed.” After thespring Thronson’s had, he’s ready for asmooth summer.

The WiltsesHerman, Minn.

As of May 28, Dennis Wilts can close thebook on the 2014 planting season. What along, rainy season it was. The Land spokewith him on May 29 as he was getting

ready to “start sprayingwheat tomorrow.”

Wilts was able tofinish planting thanksto the spotty showersthat, for the mostpart, missed his fields.Only 10 miles norththey received fourinches of rain on May

26 — rain that wasn’t needed in thatquantity or at that time.

Reflecting on how the planting this yearwent, he admits that “you always have afew problems” but luckily it was “nothingtoo major, just typical little stuff.” Thecrops seem to be doing well as is evident inwhat Wilts sees in the field: “Everythingthat’s coming up looks real good.”

Wilts started planting wheat on April21 and didn’t finish until May 22 due tothe rain. Ideally the crops would’ve beenin the ground a lot sooner — “10 days ear-lier would’ve been nice” — although therecent moisture and heat are helping allthe crops get growing.

He expects to “basically do a lot of spray-ing in the next few weeks.” While theplanter is still out and waiting to be putaway, Wilts is already looking at readyinghis harvest equipment for the fall push.He will be working on checking over theheader and sugar beet equipment.

The rush to get the crop in is overand the growing season is under way,which gives way for Wilts to “take a lit-tle time off to go to the grandkids’baseball games.” That’s just a part ofwhat makes summer so great out on

the farm — crops growing tall and theopportunity to get away and enjoycheering on some important little ones.

The HoffmansNew Ulm, Minn.

The 2014 corn plant-ing is in the books forDon Hoffman.

Hoffman spoke withThe Land on May 27,and he noted that thefield conditions weremostly dry — “we went around threeor four wet spots.” In his neck of thewoods, he said there aren’t manyfields that weren’t planted.

The corn that was planted on May 7is “up and looks good,” he said, addingthat that some of the beans were up aswell.

Now that the crop is in the ground, Hoff-man is preparing for “cutting hay tomorrowor Thursday.” It’s time to “get the hayingequipment out of the shed.” Ideally Hoff-man would like the first hay cutting nolater than June 1, so he’s right on schedule.

He is hopeful that “Mother Nature mightgive us that opportunity.” He estimatesthat they could be done by Friday night.

The heat and humidity have arrivedat the Hoffman farm but so far it has-n’t affected milk production of thecows. Hoffman notes that the “sprin-kler system is working just fine.” He’llbe doing a herd health check and preg-nancy checking all eligible cows.

He’s also working on “changing out

some mattresses in the barn.” Hoff-man currently uses mattresses thatcontain chopped-up rubber; he’ll bereplacing those with a one-inch-thickrubber mat “the cows seem to like alot.” Not a simple task, “it takes two tothree guys to work on that project.”

With crops planted and cows happy,Hoffman believes this spring is “off toa flying start.”

The HagensLake Mills, Iowa

Some rain, havingthe crops all planted,and finally thearrival of warmweather all make JimHagen one happy guy.

The Land spokewith Hagen on May 27 as he reportedthat he finished up planting four daysprior. “Finished beans last Friday,”Hagen said. Planting “went good” onthe fairly dry ground. He managed toget the soybeans planted in six days.

Even though beans went well, it fella week behind when he typically hasthem in the ground.

Rainfall has been manageable forHagen as a half-inch fell the previousnight, with more expected in the com-ing days. “The rain last night was per-fect,” Hagen said. Coupled with warmtemperatures, it’s helping “the cropslook good right now.”

The weather was conducive forHagen’s neighbors to get all theircrops in the ground, too. “Everybody’sfinished up around the area.”

Even during planting time a birth-day is cause for celebration. Hisfather, Gordon, celebrated his 75thbirthday “by working out in the field,”he said. Gordon is out at the farmevery day. “He’s the money, I’m themuscle,” Hagen joked, knowing thatboth are equally vital on the farm.

The weather “looks like it’s going to bepretty warm,”he said.When the weathergets warm, things start to grow, andgrow fast — including weeds. “I’ll startspraying in a few days,” Hagen said, anactivity that “seems to never end.”

He believes that “the grass in thelawn is growing fast so the cornshould be, too.” Let’s hope the spray-ing keeps the weeds out, and the corn— and lawn— growing strong. ❖

With a total of 52 tractors, allMassey Harris, the oldest dating backto 1930, the May 10 auction of Geraldand Charlotte Fank was remarkable.

Nearly 500 people, from across 10states and Canada, checked in for bid-der’s numbers and buying privilegeson the 851 lot items. An estimated1,500 more showed up at the Fanks’rural Cosmos, Minn., farm just towatch the spectacle.

It was a fast-moving auction, yet intrue “live auction” style, whenever the“pros” crying the sale felt a particularitem needed a couple more pauses, sobe it. And invariably a few more dol-lars rang up on the last call.

Adding to the intrigue were 95 inter-net bidders from across the globe alsotaking part in the auction process. Ayoung man sitting next to the auction-eer instantly acknowledged internetproxy bids, so that he was in constantcontact both with his “live audience”out front, and bidders from England,Scotland, Australia, New Zealand,Germany, Mexico and Canada.

Two auctioneers simultane-ously called separate portionsof the sale, which startedpromptly at 9 a.m.; the last bidwas taken at 3:55 p.m. A lightshower at about 4:15 p.m. qui-etly settled the afternoon’s pro-ceedings.

“This was quite a day,” saidGerald Fank, 68. “I thank thegood Lord for the gentleweather, even though showerswere predicted. And consider-ing all the cranky weather ofthis spring, temperatures wereabout perfect, around 55-58degrees.” Fank said he gothooked on collecting MasseyHarris tractors, and anythingelse with a Massey Harrisimprint, at an early age.

A 40- by 100-foot tent housed thememorabilia he had gathered over theyears — a dozen or so Massey Harrissigns, clocks, and wall thermometers,plus dozens of Massey Harris andMassey Ferguson belt buckles, ball-point pens, buttons, playing cards,toys, lighters, pencils, matchbooks, keychains, watch fobs, even some MF icescrapers.

Fank had good words for the HenslinAuction crew.

“They went beyond whatever I imag-ined to put this sale together,” he said.

“It really surprised me and my wifeCharlotte with all they detail they cov-ered ahead of the auction. They wereout here several days getting every-thing properly lined up. Every tractor,for example, was lined up according toits year of manufacture. And because

our parking in the auctionarea was limited to ‘handi-capped’ parking, they evenbrought some ATVs to trans-port people back and forthfrom roadside parking to auc-tion and back to their vehicles.They are so very professional.”

Fank credited his wife withbeing the “detail lady” for theauction. He said Charlotte, 64,at times was as good or bettermechanic than he and his crewon getting all parts and piecesready to go.

“I was talking with a guywho stopped earlier at thefarm needing a carburetor,” hesaid. “Before I was done talk-ing, my wife had the carbure-

tor off another rig and brought it up tothe shed to get the part he needed.There’s nothing she won’t tackle. She’svery much into collecting this old stuff,too. We love traveling and doing thingstogether.”

The Fanks have four sons — Greg,42, John, 41, Patrick, 40, and Andy, 38— who have helped over the yearswith “Dad’s hobby.”

“But they’ve all got their own livesnow,” said Fank, who now has 11grandkids, too.

How did Fank become a Massey Har-ris nut?

“I grew up with them,” he said. “Mydad farmed with Massey; my grandfa-ther, the first tractor he bought was aMassey back in 1938. So I just like theMassey tractors. ... My favorite color,and they’ve proven to be dependable.Plus I could buy Massey red cheaper.

“When I first got married I worked offthe farm but had some livestock so Ineeded a tractor for hauling manureand working around the place. I wentto auction sales and the John Deereswere selling for $300-$400, Interna-

tionals were selling for $300-$400, butif there was a Massey at the samesale, it would sell for $100-$125. So myfirst Massey I bought in 1969. It wasone of the first 44s ever built. I usedthat tractor every day, 365 days of theyear, hauling manure so it had tostart. I built a cab for it because in1969 tractors with cabs were rare.”That first machine of his sold for $600.

In addition to the 50-plus tractors,all with engines that would start upthe day of the sale, the tractor lineupincluded a dozen or more MH enginesin various stages of “deconstruction,”which in those days were built by Con-tinental. The reason for these extraengines was simply to provide parts tokeep the other tractors running.

“Massey Harris parts are not veryavailable these days, so sometimesyou’ve got to steal from one to fixanother,” said Fank.

Several Canadian buyers attendedthis auction because used Masseysare hard to find up north, even thoughToronto was at one time the manufac-turing hub of Massey Harris, whichalso built at Racine, Wisc.

Larry Boyd of Wolf Lake, Ind., saidhe travels a lot out here in PrairieCountry looking for antique tractors.He’s particular, buying only old rigs

Aerial view of the Fanks’ May 10 Massey auction. Nearly 500 bidders, and another1,500 spectators, were in attendance, along with about 100 online bidders.

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

Interviewed during Gerald and Charlotte Fank’sauction in Cosmos, Minn., LaDon Henslin calledthis the largest sale of Massey Harris / Massey Fer-guson gear he’s aware of, with internet buyersaround the world and a huge crowd at the sale.

“It’s just an honor for us to call this sale,” saidHenslin, of Henslin Auctions, Bird Island, Minn.“Gerald and Charlotte have done such an incrediblejob putting this collection together. This combina-tion of internet buyers plus serious bidders here onthe sale ground is generating some wild money. Thisis a good example of the tremendous changes thathave taken place in the auction business the pastfew years.”

A few auction highlights observed in the memora-bilia tent:

• $25 for a 1955 Massey Ferguson calendar• $100 for a 1955 MF tractor manual• $120 for an 85 MF owner’s manual.• $110 for a red MF straw hat.• $45 for a MF yardstick.• $625 for a MF wall clock.• $100 for empty MF cream separator oil can.• $200 for a MF coverall.• $32 for a set of four matchbooks (internet sale

into Canada).• $10 for 2 MF marbles.• $240 for 39 belt buckles mounted on a wooden

“barn front” frame.One of the more astounding prices paid for memo-

rabilia was $2,700 for an 18-inch x 5-foot MasseyHarris antique metal sign. Olivia, Minn., farmerJim Zenk recalls selling that sign to Gerald Fankfor $100 about 20 years ago. Zenk had “salvaged”the sign from an old building that used to house NatKuske, an Olivia implement dealer who handled

the Massey Harris farm equipment dating back topre-WWII days.

The Henslin auctioneering crew at the Fank Saleincluded LaDon, his son Allen, Frank Roering, plusring workers catching bids. Allen, only 26, is alreadyrecognized as one of the best in the trade.

How does he prep for a sale of this magnitude? “Once the sale starts it’s just getting into a good

rhythm and keeping a good steady tempo,” said theyounger Henslin. “The most important thing when call-ing a sale is your breathing. Make certain you’re takinggood breaths and you’re not overworking your voice.”

He started selling when he was 20 during his sec-ond year of college after first going to Auction Schoolat Mason City, Iowa.

“I was deathly afraid of getting up and talking infront of people,” he said. “I simply had a fear of pub-lic speaking, but my Dad convinced me I had to over-come that and the best way was to go to auctionschool. I just fell in love with it after that.”

Allen’s Granddad was a Massey Harris dealer. Hedied when he was only 40 years old; LaDon was six.

“That’s why this will be a sale I will always remem-ber,” he said. ❖

MASSEY, from pg. 17on steel wheels. At the Fank sale hebought a Massey Harris six-cylinderGP. What does Boyd do with his collec-tion of steel-wheeled antiques? “I justplay around with them; rebuild asneeded.”

This auction included a couple of old-timers with crawler treads. Fankexplained that, back in the 1950s,Massey was going to get into thecrawler business to provide for thehighway and road builders.

“They produced a handful of testcrawlers; put them out for testing butsoon called them all back in to the fac-tory. Nobody really seems to knowwhy,” said Fank, noting that at onetime Massey was also connected withCletrac and a company called Generalto start producing smaller farm andgarden rigs. That lineup, however, waseventually sold to Oliver Manufactur-ing of Charles City, Iowa, and mar-keted as the Oliver Cletrac.

The Massey Harris names stemsfrom the merger of Massey Manufac-turing and A. Harris, Son & Co. in1891. The new Massey Harris com-pany produced threshers, reapers andbicycles for years, adding tractors totheir stable in the 1930s. Somewhatsurprising is the fact that one of theirfirst tractors built was the MH 76”4WD. That’s right, a four-wheel-drivetractor back in 1930. This was pre-rub-ber tires, so wheels were all steel onthis rig. Massey Harris merged with

the Ferguson Company — inventor ofa hydraulic 3-point hitch system — in1953, and five years later the companyofficially became Massey Ferguson.

Prospecting on his own sale, Fanksaid, “I rather expect this will be anolder bunch attending but I’d rathersell the tractors a little cheaper andsee more younger people getting intoperpetuating some of our agriculturalhistory.”

Along that line he hoped to see somefather-and-son teams getting into thebusiness of collecting and restoringold-time farm equipment.

“It’s time,” Charlotte Fank said,regarding their auctioning off of decades

of Massey equipment and collectibles.“We’re now retired and it’s time to letother people enjoy these items.We can’tkeep maintaining everything. We’vedone this as a team for 40 years. Ilearned mechanics from my dad. Beforehe taught me to drive he said ‘you’refirst going to learn all the importantparts of this car.’ Once we got marriedwe quickly learned this was somethingwe could do together and enjoy.”

Their ambitions now include travel-ing across America, “like hanging outin Wyoming or Montana. Maybe justget out and do some prairie dog hunt-ing,” she said.

Gerald Fank said he’ll miss putzingaround with his old tractors, but thatat some point in life he had to sayenough was enough.

“Hopefully the next generation willstep up and get into old farming mem-orabilia and tractors,” he said,“because we’ve got to have someonecarry on that heritage.” ❖

Among the items up for auction wasthis Massey 44, the first of GeraldFank’s many Massey purchases,

back in 1969.

By CAROLYN VAN LOHThe Land Correspondent

Falling 10 feet from a scaffold and landing on hishead while working on a construction projectchanged Matthew Albrecht’s life in a way he neverwould have anticipated.

Albrecht, who has been farming near Fosston innorthwestern Minnesota “all my life,” started buy-ing calves when he was five years old. Constructionplayed an important part in the farming operationthrough the years.

“We needed a building, we built it,” he said.When he graduated from high school, working in

construction provided extra income during the lessbusy times on the farm. As soon as the snow disap-peared, constructions projects began. He has built ahouse, a church, pole barns, warehouses and hunt-ing houses.

Nine and a half years ago, Albrecht was workingon a one-story house with a walk-out basementwhen a section of scaffolding broke loose, hittinghim in the back and pushing him off his section ofthe scaffold.

“I could hear crunching and cracking as I fell,” herecalls. The C2 and C6 vertebrae were shattered.“It’s a flat-out miracle that the scaffold fell apart. Itshouldn’t have.”

While recovering in the hospital, Albrecht realizedthat God had another plan for him.

Soybean fields were ready to harvest, so a weeklater Albrecht, who had left the hospital wearing ahalo, walked out to his combine. “I can do this,” hethought. “It was just one of those things. We had toget the crop out.”

The following summer, he tried construction, butthat activity intensified the pain in his back. Realiz-ing that farming was an easier option, the Albrechtstransitioned their efforts to expanding the farm.More land meant larger equipment. One day whileshopping for a larger combine at the local Titandealer, he saw a land roller he liked, but decided hecould build one for less money.

When the dealer came to the farm so Albrechtcould sign papers on the combine, the man said, “Ilike it.” He commissioned Albrecht to make two forhim.

Looking back, Albrecht said, “God sent someonethat day to open the door for us. We had nothing. Nosupplies. It was off the cuff, but it worked. It wasn’tour plan.”

Starting small with no business or marketing plan,he seized the opportunity to build land rollers on hisfarm.

The McSems brand name is unique because formsan acrostic of the Albrecht family names:

• Matthew (dad)• Clara (daughter)• Shannon (mother)• Eli (son)• Malachi (son)• Senora (daughter)Albrecht now purchases drums by the semi load

from Texas. His son Eli cuts the steel, and Albrechtdoes the welding. Their goal is to give small tomedium-sized farmers a fair deal.

He builds rollers to suit the needs of the buyer. Fin-ished sizes range from 3 1/2 feet to 50 feet. One timea UPS driver making a delivery ordered an 8-footroller to help him prepare food plots for deer.

Today the family farms over 1,000 acres, and theyplan to double the size of the shop this summer. Inthe “iffy” category are plans to purchase a roboticwelder and a computerized band saw. “The toolsmake a huge difference,” Albrecht said.

He doesn’t need to market his product; customerscome to him. He does run an ad in a couple papers,but cancels the ad when he has enough orders tokeep him busy during the winter months.

“God is blessing us, and I trust that He will sendthe people we need. One in 10 callers will usuallybuy, but we average six in 10.”

Last fall Albrecht promised $1,000 “before the endof the year” to help finance a missions trip to theUkraine. He remembers giving the money on Dec.10. The next day he sold four rollers, and in the fol-lowing two weeks he sold enough rollers to keep himbusy for a year.

Two years after Albrecht’s fall, his wife, Shannon,was hospitalized when a rare birth defect was diag-nosed. Surgery to remove all but three feet of bothintestines resulted in a major lifestyle change for her.Despite their physical hardships, the couple’s faith inGod carries them through the challenging times.

“God provides. It’s been very rewarding,” Albrechtsaid. “You gotta have faith that God will take care ofyou.”

This column was writtenfor the marketing week end-ing May 30.

Last week’s return to $2cheese was tested this week,following the Memorial Dayholiday, and the bleedingbegan again. The Cheddarblocks closed Friday at $1.96per pound, down 6 cents onthe holiday-shortened weekbut still 21.5 cents above ayear ago. The barrels shotup 3 cents early in theweek, shed 11.25 cents,and then recovered someFriday to close at $1.9325, down 8.75cents on the week but 22.5 cents abovea year ago. Six cars of each tradedhands on the week. The National DairyProducts Sales Report-surveyed U.S.average block price slipped to $2.1128,down 4.8 cents. The barrels averaged$2.0959, down 6.9 cents.

A number of Wisconsin cheese manu-facturers who also operate retail out-lets commented on the particularlybusy store sales they experienced overthe Memorial Day weekend, accordingto U.S. Department of Agriculture’sDairy Market News. One manufacturersaid he took a surprisingly large “wadof cash” from the store’s holiday cheesesales to the bank on Tuesday.

Surplus holiday milk availabilityover the holiday weekend was not a bigfactor for many Midwest cheese plantswith contracted milk supplies, or forcooperative cheese plants handlingmember milk. Milk production hasrecently been high and continues tohold at a high level. Most plants were

already scheduled at full ornear-full production beforethe weekend began, usingalready available milk.

More Cheddar is movinginto aging programs at cur-rent price levels. For someplants, this has helpedbridge what is traditionallymore of a lull period for foodservice sales, which typi-cally will increase moving

toward fall. Some cheesemanufacturers, in com-menting on overallbuyer interest, have

mentioned recent interest in barrels asbeing particularly strong.

Cash butter soared to $2.30 per pound,up 12 cents on the week and 76 centsabove a year ago; a level not seen sinceApril 2004, but still short of the record$2.81 in September 1998. Seventeen car-loads were sold on the week. NDPSRbutter averaged $2.1192, up 6.1 cents.

Many Central butter operators wereable to obtain additional volumes ofcream over the holiday weekend, alongwith increases in milk supplies, accord-ing to DMN. As a result, churning wassteady to higher. A few manufacturerssold some spot loads of cream for a pre-mium. Domestic butter sales continueto be better than expected, creating con-cerns about inventory levels for the sec-ond half of year. The undertone is firmbehind a bullish market, says DMN.

Preexisting export orders are beingcompleted with few new purchases asU.S. butter prices continue to diverge

in relation to other global butter mar-kets. Butter stocks are snug. Manufac-turers are aggressively seeking bulkbutter, resorting to the Chicago Mer-cantile Exchange to obtain supplies asf.o.b. spot loads are limited.

Western butter production is mostlysteady. Western milk supplies are pastpeak, but are holding steady longerthan expected. Cream sales are activeas ice cream production is in full swing,causing cream prices to firm.

■

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closedFriday at $1.8450 per pound, up 5.25cents on the week. Five cars were soldon the week. NDPSR powder averaged$1.8143, down 4.1 cents, and dry wheyaveraged 68.08 cents, up 0.8 cent.

Milk Futures are moderating their

assessment of the price downturn,according to the May Dairy MarketReport from the National Milk Produc-ers Federation and Dairy ManagementIncorporated. The report states manykey milk and dairy product prices con-tinued to set records in April. And whilethe dairy futures markets indicate thatprices will soon ease back from theselevels, the futures have been moderat-ing their assessment of how far priceswill adjust downward. Futures marketscurrently indicate that milk prices willplateau for much of the second half of2014 at about the highest level everreached prior to this year.

This extraordinary price perform-ance is the result of markets continu-ing to show increased dairy productsales in the domestic market, strong

MIELKE, from pg. 23export shipments, moderate tolittle increased milk and dairyproduct production and significant drawdown ofdomestic dairy product inventories. Markets hadpreviously anticipated swifter and sharper reac-tions, on both the demand and supply sides. Thishas not occurred as expected, giving longer legs tothe current dairy price situation and outlook.

A concurrent general decline in the cost of dairyfeed is resulting in very favorable milk price mar-gins over feed costs. Current milk price-feed costmargins, as measured by the 2014 farm bill marginformula, will not reach record levels this year, butthey will generally rival the only other extendedepisode of extraordinarily high margins, when thisindicator established its current record, in the sec-ond half of 2007. Read the complete report atwww.nmpf.org/files/file/DMRMay2014_1.pdf.

A big factor as to what lay ahead is milk produc-tion and manufacturing milk supplies heading intothe Memorial Day holiday weekend were heavy,according to DMN. Milk demand for bottling wasgenerally lower. Milk production is building in theMidwest, Pacific Northwest, Utah and Idaho; steadyin New Mexico, Arizona and California; and steadyto easing along the East Coast.

■

The big factor in milk production, of course, isfeed. The Ag Department’s latest Crop Progressreport issued this week shows 88 percent of the

nation’s corn has been planted, up from 73percent the previous week, up from 84 per-

cent on this week a year ago, and dead evenwith the five-year average. All 18 of the states showcorn emerged, or 60 percent, up from 34 percent theprevious week, up from 49 percent a year ago, butlags the five-year average by 4 percent.

Fifty-nine percent of the soybean crop was in theground, as of the week ending May 25, up from 33percent the previous week, up from 41 percent a yearago, and 3 percent ahead of the five-year average.Seed is in the ground in all of the top 18 states thatmade up 95 percent of the 2013 soybean acreage. Thedata shows 25 percent of soybeans are emerged, upfrom 9 percent the week before, up from 12 percent ayear ago, and 2 percent behind the five-year average.

Sixty-two percent of the cotton crop planted, up from46 percent the week before, up from 56 percent a yearago, and 2 percent behind the five-year average.

Tom Wedegaertner, Cotton Incorporated’s Directorof Research and Marketing, said in Friday’s Dairy-Line that data tells him “we are right on track withplanting this year and the really good news in thatmost of the crop is in Texas.” Over 50 percent of U.S.cotton is grown there, he said, and planting condi-tions there are “spectacular; we haven’t seen thesekinds of soil moisture levels in a long time.”

The other good news is the increased supply,according to Wedegaertner. More acres are beingplanted this year compared to last year, he said, theweather looks really good, “so the supply side is look-

ing good.” However, he quickly adds that the demandside is also strong, “so most people in the businessare predicting fairly strong prices going forward.”

He pointed out that old crop cottonseed prices arevery strong because we had a short crop last year; infact, the last couple years has been a short crop, “butgoing into this fall and the new crop, it looks likethere’s a fairly good discount, going into this fall.”

“If a person wanted to book new crop cottonseed forfall delivery, the prices I think are looking fairlyattractive,” he said. Complete details are available atwww.wholecottonseed.com.

Meanwhile, world milk production appears to be out-pacing the United States. Milk production in the EUcontinues to be strong, but has moved beyond the sea-sonal peak. Milk volumes have leveled off in Germanyand have marginally declined in France. Favorableweather, good margins and the likelihood of lower farmgate prices in the future are prompting farmers to max-imize milk production. Drying facilities are no longeroperating at capacity levels as additional dryers havecome online and milk volumes have begun to decline.

Australian milk production has benefited from aperiod of unseasonably warm temperatures withhighs near 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The warmweather has prompted some good pasture growthand allowed milk production to hang on and, in someareas, marginally increase. The forecast for the like-lihood of an “El Nino” weather pattern, increasingthe possibility of drought, has raised concerns withsome producers and restricted planned herd expan-sions. Dairy Australia reports April milk productionwas up 5.6 percent from April 2013. Australia’s milkproduction season to date (July-April) is down 0.8percent, compared to last season.

New Zealand milk production continues to declineand wind down seasonally with more cows beingdried off and moved to winter pastures. Some manu-facturing plants are shutting down for year-endmaintenance. Where possible, some producers areextending the milking season, incentivized by therelatively high milk price and good margins. Spotsales are continuing for some commodities, especiallymilk powders, as manufacturers adjust inventorylevels prior to the end of the fiscal year. March milkproduction was reported by DCANZ at 1.76 milliontons, up 22 percent from March 2013.

Cooperatives Working Together accepted fourrequests for export assistance this week to sell328,489 pounds of Cheddar cheese and 330,693pounds of 82 percent butter to customers in Asia, theMiddle East, North Africa, and the South Pacific. Theproduct will be delivered through July 2014.

Year-to-date, CWT has assisted member coopera-tives in selling 53.414 million pounds of cheese, 46.284million pounds of butter and 10.337 million pounds ofwhole milk powder to 39 countries on six continents.These sales are the equivalent of 1.610 billion poundsof milk on a milkfat basis, according to CWT.

Consumers may have more palatablelow-fat products and milk producers asolution to an industry-wide problemthrough use of a unique strain of lacticacid bacteria, according to Ashraf Has-san, associate professor of dairy scienceat South Dakota State University.

Low-fat products tend to have inferiortexture and flavor because removing fatmakes their structure rubbery, heexplained. After examining bacteriafrom the dairy environment for morethan 15 years, Hassan found a strainthat mimics fat.

Some bacteria produce polysaccha-rides which can contain hundreds ofsugar molecules, such as glucose,attached to one another. They bind sig-nificant amounts of water, according to

Hassan.The strain Hassan discovered produces

polysaccharides with high water bindingcapacity that then improves the qualityof low-fat dairy products. “They give thesame mouth feel (as fat) by increasingthe thickness and giving smoothness,” headded.

Hassan first used the bacteria to makelow-fat cheese, which the nationally rec-ognized SDSU dairy products judgingteam could not discern from regular high-fat cheese. The bacteria’s patent-pendingapplication has been licensed to a multi-national dairy ingredients company.

But that’s only the beginning.The poly-saccharide produced by this strain alsoimproves the functionality of proteinsrecovered from the cheese by product,

whey, Hassan explained. This protein-polysaccharide mixture can be dried andadded to salad dressing, mayonnaise oreven processed meats like sausage. Itsgelling properties will help make prod-ucts that “firm quickly and have a muchstronger body,” he said.

Not only does this add value to thewhey, but the mixture reduces manufac-turing costs, he said. When mixed withpolysaccharide, less protein is needed togive the same effect.

Furthermore, the polysaccharide pro-

duced by this strain minimizes the nega-tive impact of heat on milk protein dur-ing pasteurization, according to Hassan.Essentially, heat breaks down protein, aprocess called denaturation, but the bac-teria encapsulate protein, thereby main-taining more of its nutritional value.

This unique polysaccharide will alsoaddress a long-standing problem in thedairy industry — the formation of biofilmon milk processing equipment, Hassannoted. Milk bacteria attach to contactsurfaces and form colonies that can resisttraditional cleaning methods. The bacte-ria Hassan identified interfere with theformation of these biofilms, possibly miti-gating this industrywide problem.

Because plaque is a classic case ofbiofilm developing on a person’s teeth,this discovery may also translate intobetter human hygiene, according to Has-san. Eating yogurt made with these bac-teria may help reduce plaque and pre-vent tooth decay.

To explore this possibility, Hassan iscollaborating with a researcher fromUniversity of Iowa’s School of Dentistryto apply for funding from the NationalInstitutes of Health. ❖

Grain AnglesTurning back

the clockThe recent swoon in grain prices, along with

uncomfortably high land costs and input prices, hasmany producers wishing they could turn back theclock a few years to a simpler time. History demon-strates long-term cycles of profitability in the grainmarkets. In the last 15 years, many producers mayhave experienced the lowest andthe highest grain prices in theirfarming careers.

I have worked with many long-term clients through these highsand lows in the markets. Most ofthem would agree that farmingin the lean years made themlearn how to be a better farmerand financial manager. Theylearned valuable lessons thatthey’ve been able to apply to theiroperations today, which hashelped them make the most ofany situation they face.

So, you might be asking, “How have these sameexcellent producers managed through the highercommodity, land, and input prices of the last severalyears?”

Here are just some of the challenges that I’m see-ing producers face right now.

• High asset prices and income tax deferral strate-gies have caused financial statements to expand rel-ative to the size and scope of the business. It isimportant that the assets and liabilities are sup-ported by adequate revenue.

• The cash flow requirements for land, labor, andcapital still reflect the higher grain prices of the lastseveral years. Think twice before taking on new obli-

Grain OutlookCrops lookingpretty goods

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing May 30.

CORN — You knew it was coming, but your atten-tion was demanded elsewhere. December corn is now58 cents off the April 7 high and the crop in theground is looking pretty good.We’ve seen this sort of actionbefore, only to have MotherNature spin the wheel and crushour hope for never-endingstreams of gold into the combine.Are we looking for that to occurthis year? At this juncture, I’mnot going to count on it.

Overall, moisture is in goodshape around the country, tem-peratures have plants screamingout of the ground, and we havecaught up on late planting. Theareas that are having plantingproblems due to excess moisture are shrinking. Thisdoesn’t discount the fact that we could see correc-tions higher if conditions warrant, but from whatlevel? Funds are holding much more length thanthey were last year at this time and we’re about$1.10 lower for new crop than we were last year.

We’ll see the first crop condition report June 2which should show the crop in good shape. Lastyear’s initial crop rating was 63 percent. Last year,we saw December corn plummet nearly 48 centsfrom June 1 to June 17 before it rallied to regainnearly all of the fall in two days; it was all downhillfrom there. Watch for opportunities that fit into yourmarketing plan. December corn settled for the weekat $4.57 1/2 per bushel, down 17 3/4 cents.

Livestock AnglesPrice direction on

the defensiveLivestock markets slumped through the Memorial

Day holiday week not only in price but in productsales. This all despite the improved weather condi-tions which are conducive to an increase in grilling.Adequate supplies of both live cattle and hogs seemto be enough to keep the price direction on the defen-sive.

The cattle market saw a bigchange in the basis as weapproached June. The futuresmarket rallied from a fairly largediscount to cash, while the cashtrade saw just the opposite asprices dropped during the pastfew weeks. This brought the basismore in-line historically and islikely to continue into the firsthalf of the month. The number ofmarket-ready cattle is beginningto increase, which it normallydoes this time of the year. Withthe packer margin moving back toward a positive forthe packer, this could keep the market on the defen-sive for several more weeks.

Demand as it has been continues to be a concern, asproduct movement is still less that what has been inpast years. It is beginning to appear that the highs inprices during February are going to stand for a whilein the live market. Until the beef cut out can pene-trate through the $240.00 cwt. basis choice, it isunlikely that a substantial rally can be sustained atthis time. That appears to leave the market more vul-nerable to further weakness during the month ofJune. Producers should stay aware of market condi-tions and protect their inventories against adverseprice movements.

JUL’13 AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC JAN ’14 FEB MAR APR MAY JUN

NYSTROM, from pg. 29Old crop corn fell into the same pat-

tern as new crop, July corn was down12 1/4 cents for the week to settle at$4.65 3/4 per bushel. It was classic thisweek as the board fell and basis levelsimproved, mainly in markets tributaryto the river system for export. Tradechatter was speckled with talk aboutthe quality of old crop bushels; thebushels are there, but are they “really”there? Basis levels and discount sched-ules will be sensitive to the issue.

Weekly export sales were thelargest in the last four weeks at 24.5million bushels when only approxi-mately 11 million bushels per weekare need to hit the U.S. Department ofAgriculture export forecast for 1.9 bil-lion bushels. With 14 full weeks left inthe marketing year, we have 95 per-cent of the total export projectioncommitted. New crop sales were 3.6million bushels, but we’re still 72 mil-lion bushels behind last year’s pace.China sold 53 percent of the 3.5 mmtof reserve corn they auctioned thisweek as processing margins improve.

Weekly ethanol production for theweek ending May 23 was the highestin six weeks at 927,000 barrels perday, up 2,000 barrels per day from theprevious week. Since the beginning ofthe crop year, annualized grind hasrun at a rate of 5.065 billion bushels.The latest USDA forecast is 5.050 bil-lion bushels. Ethanol stocks were up21 million gallons for the week at 735million gallons. This is their highest

level since April 2013.Gasoline demand lastweek was the highestsince July 2010.

As of June 1, corn planting isexpected to be 90 percent to 95 percentcomplete versus 88 percent last weekand 95 percent on average.

OUTLOOK: July corn gapped lowerwhen we restarted after the longMemorial Day weekend and reallynever looked back. The gap from $4.75to $4.75 1/2 willstand as firstresistance withfirst support atnear $4.56 1/2 perbushel. There is noth-ing very magicalabout that figurewith the huge Gold-man index fund rollset to begin June 6.If end-user buyingrears its head, it couldgive old crop a bounce.December corn’s trend is lower,although watch weather for direction.Support in the December is between$4.40 and $4.50 per bushel with firstresistance at $4.72 1/4 per bushel.

SOYBEANS — Soybean tradesreturned from Memorial Day withtheir selling shoes on, but then spentthe rest of the week in sideways mode.The market is still trying to balance atight old crop balance sheet with agood start to new crop bushels. Focuscan switch from one to the other on a

daily basis.July soybeans closed

down 22 1/4 cents for theweek at $14.93 1/4 per bushel, but heldtrendline support. November soybeanssettled out the week on a weak note,down 32 cents at $12.33 3/4 perbushel. It is testing trendline support,but closed below the 14-day movingaverage support line.

Weeklyexport salescontinue torun ahead of

what we need.Old crop saleswere 2.2 mil-lion bushelswhen weneed them to

run a negative800,000 bushels

per week in the remain-ing 14 weeks of the market-ing year. Total sales commit-

ments for 2013-14 are 1.651 billionbushels when the USDA is forecastingexports sales of 1.6 billion bushels.New crop sales were an impressive 30million bushels, bringing total newcrop sales to 345 million bushels.Export sales for 2014-15 are projectedat 1.625 billion bushels.

China’s bean inventories at theirports are thought to be in the 6.8 mmtvicinity versus just 3.8 mmt a yearago. The record for port stocks is 7.0mmt. China successfully auctioned off81 percent of the 300,000 mt reservesoybeans they offered this week. Theyalso bought 110,000 mt of U.S. newcrop beans this week.

Turning to Brazil, Agroconsult ispredicting that their bean acreage forthe 2014-15 crop year will increase by4 percent to a record 77.4 million

acres. The projected crop size couldreach a record 94 mmt. The USDA iscurrently predicting a 91 mmt crop forBrazil in 2014-15. The first cargoes ofBrazilian beans to hit the East Coastarrived this week at Wilmington andNorfolk. According to news reports, theUnited States has unloaded or is aboutto unload 9.2 million bushels of SouthAmerica soybeans with another 12.6million waiting to load for the UnitedStates. The USDA is forecast a record90 million bushels of bean imports thisyear.

U.S. planting is estimated at 70 per-cent to 75 percent complete as of June1, right at the average pace. Last weekwe were 59 percent complete.

OUTLOOK: Soybeans feel like theywould like to break lower, but justcan’t commit to the direction. If theweather develops as advertised, ralliesshould be hard to maintain. Novembersoybeans are in a $12.06 to $12.80range and the July in a $14.40 to$15.40 range. The downside may belimited on the uncertainty overwhether or not we have solved thetight old crop balance sheet. It’s a bal-ancing act for soybeans.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes forthe week ending May 30 — ChicagoJuly wheat crashed 25 1/4 cents lower,Minneapolis fell 19 cents and KansasCity dropped 22 cents. July crude oildecline $1.64 to $102.71, ULSD tum-bled 6 3/4 cents lower, gasoline was 31/2 cents lower, and natural gas ral-lied 13 3/4 cents. Ukraine last weekendelected Petro Poroshenko as their newpresident with 54 percent of the votefrom a field of 21 candidates.

Market still trying to balance old crop, new crop

WACHTLER, from pg. 29gations or committing to long-termdecisions based on the profit levels ofthe last several years

• Meaningful grain marketingstrategies have disappeared. Lockingin prices that support debt payments,family living and a modest profit isnever a bad decision. This can avoidan equity loss in uncertain times.

• Difficulty in communicatingfinancial discipline to family, part-ners, and business successors. Manybudgets have expanded in the lastseveral years. Develop a positive mes-sage and build support for trimmingthe budget during a strategy session.Share your knowledge from the pastwith others that may not have experi-enced the tougher times, but positionyour message well in advance. It isdifficult to build consensus for budget

cutting when under the pressuremoment.

Recognizing the challenges we arefacing is the first step in being able tosuccessfully manage through the nextlong-term cycle. If you are faced withany of these challenges, I wouldencourage you to start tackling themas soon as possible and seek help fromtrusted advisers when needed. Wish-ing you could turn back the clock is notproductive, but working through yourchallenges proactively will make youbetter at what you do and will ensureyour business withstands the test oftime.

Financial discipline critical

TEALE, from pg. 29The hog market continues to slide as

hog numbers seem to be sufficient tomeet packer’s needs. The PED Virushas not played a significant role overthe past month or so and the weightand the number of hogs has providedadequate supplies of pork. Cash has bethe primary reason for the weaknesswhile optimism has kept the futures ata strong premium. This premium inthe futures is the anticipation of theeffects that PEDV will have on thesupply of hogs in the future.

There seems to be a consensus in theindustry that the summer into the fall

months will be the period when theavailable hogs for slaughter will be thetightest. With the cash and futuresmarkets nearing oversold conditions,the likelihood of a rally is increasing.

As noted by the earlier rally in thepork cutout this spring, demand forpork began to wane at the higher pricelevels, and this could happen again ifthe predictions are accurate on thetight supply situation if it develops.Therefore, producers should remaincautious and be alert to market condi-tions and take advantage of any excesspremiums offered to protect theirinventories. ❖

Hogs continue to slide

Over the next few months, wewill analyze the many choicesthat producers and landownerswill need to make for enroll-ment in the new U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture’s Farm Ser-vice Agency farm programslater this year. This article willfocus on the decision surround-ing the allowable updating ofFSA program yields.

The 2014 farm bill will givefarm owners and producers anopportunity to make severalone-time choices regardingtheir USDA farm programenrollment for 2014-18.These choices will include decisions on reallocatingcrop base acres, updating farm program paymentyields, and whether to enroll a FSA farm unit inPrice Loss Coverage or the Agriculture Risk Cover-age program. Sign-up for reallocating crop baseacreage, and updating farm program payment yieldswill likely start by late summer at local FSA offices,while sign-up for the various farm program choiceswill likely not occur until later this fall.

Producers will have a one-time choice between therevenue-based ARC program, and the PLC program.The PLC program will function similarly to the pre-vious counter-cyclical program, with program pay-ments made if the 12-month national average pricefalls below the established reference price (targetprice) for a given crop. The marketing period for the12-month price for corn and soybeans is Sept. 1 inthe year that the crop was produced until Aug. 31 ofthe following year. PLC payments would be made inOctober of the year following production of the crop,and will be made on 85 percent of eligible crop base

acres for a given crop. (Corn example : 100 acres x165 bu./acre payment yield x $0.30/bu. payment x0.85 = $4,207.50 payment.)

All farm program payments in the new PLCprogram will be paid on established FSA pro-gram yields. Producers will have a choice of

keeping their existing Counter-Cyclical Paymentyields on a FSA farm unit from the previous farmprogram, or updating the payment yields on thatfarm unit. The option to update FSA program yieldswill be based on 90 percent (0.90) of the five-year(2008-12) average crop yields on planted acres for agiven crop, on a specific FSA farm unit. (Soybeanexample : Five-year (2008-12) soybean yield = 50bu./acre x 0.90 = 45 bu./acre FSA yield.) If the 45bushels per acre is higher than the existing CCP pro-gram payment yield for soybeans on that FSA farmunit, it would likely be advantageous to update theFSA program yields for enrollment in the PLC pro-gram.

Any of the years (2008-12) in which the given cropwas not planted on a FSA farm unit would beexcluded from the average yield calculation forupdating FSA program yields. If the crop yield onthat farm unit in any of the years 2008-12 for agiven crop was less than 75 percent of the countyaverage yield for that crop from 2008-12, then 75percent of the average county yield (2008-12) will be

substituted as a “plug yield” forthat year. The decision toupdate FSA program yields iscrop specific on each individualFSA farm unit, and must beapproved by the farm owner.

For the county ARC program,the most recent county five-year “olympic average” yield,which drops the highest andlowest annual yields for a crop,

will be used. If a county’s yield in any year dropsbelow 70 percent of the county crop insurance tran-sitional yield (T-yield), the T-yield will become the“plug yield” for that year.Examples for updating FSA program yields(See table, pg. 32)

Example Farm No. 1 — This example farm unithas existing corn, soybean, and wheat crop baseacreage. Some corn and soybean acres were plantedeach year (2008-12) on the farm unit; however, nowheat was planted in any year. The farm ownercould choose to update the farm program yields to165 bushels per acre for corn and 44 bushels peracre for soybeans, which would then be used as theFSA program yields if the PLC farm program optionis chosen. If no decision is made to update programyields, the current CCP yields of 145 bushels peracre for corn and 36 bushels per acre for soybeanswill continue as the FSA program yields. If wheatbase acres are continued, the existing CCP yield 40bushels per acre will be used as the FSA programyield from 2014-2018.

PROGRAMS, from pg. 31Example Farm No. 2 — This example farm unit

has existing corn, soybean, and wheat crop baseacreage. The farm unit was planted to all corn acresin 2008, 2010 and2012, with all soy-bean acres planted in2009 and 2011, with no wheat acres. The farm ownercould choose to update the farm program corn yieldto 165 bushels per acre for the PLC program; how-ever, the average soybean yield is lower than theexisting CCP yield of 40 bushels per acre, whichwould continue as the FSA program yield. If wheatbase acres are continued, the existing CCP yield of40 bushels per acre will be the FSA program yieldfrom 2014-18.

Example Farm No. 3 — This example farm unithas existing corn, soybean, and wheat crop baseacreage corn. Some corn and soybean acres wereplanted each year (2008-12) on the farm unit, andsome wheat acres were planted in 2008 and 2011. Itshould be noted that the 2009 soybean yield on thefarm unit (*) was lower than 75 percent of the aver-age county yield from 2008-12 of 30 bu./acre, whichwas used as a “plug yield.” The average corn yield islower than the existing CCP yield of 140 bushels peracre, which would continue as the FSA programyield. The farm owner could choose to update thefarm program yields to 37 bushels per acre for soy-beans, and to 44 bushels per acre for wheat, whichwould then be used as FSA program yields from2014-18.Considerations regarding updating FSA program yields

• The decision to update FSA farm program yieldsis a one-time decision, and will only affect potentialFSA farm program payments for the PLC farm pro-gram option from 2014-18.

• The update of FSA farm program yields is cropspecific, and will be made on the basis of FSA farmunits, thus decisions may vary from crop-to-crop, andon different farm units.

• Updating FSA program yields is a voluntarydecision, and a “no decision” will result in the exist-ing CCP yields remaining in place as FSA programyields for 2014-18.

• Current CCP program yields were based on 93.5percent (0.935) of the average farm yield for a cropfrom 1998-2001. If the 2008-12 yield for that croptimes 90 percent (0.90) is greater than the CCPyield, then there is likely an advantage to updatingthe FSA farm program yield.

• Many typical CCP yields in Minnesota are in therange of 135-150 bushels per acre for corn and 32-44bushels per acre for soybeans. If CCP yields were notupdated in the 2002 farm bill, the direct paymentyields are still in place as CCP yields, which are atmuch lower levels.

• FSA program yields will be used to determinefarm program payments for the new PLC farm pro-gram option, but not for the county-based and indi-vidual-based ARC program options.

• The updating of FSA program yields for a given

See PROGRAMS, pg. 33

PROGRAMS, from pg. 32crop on a FSA farm unit is based on the average cropyields on that farm unit in each year that the cropwas raised from 2008-12.

• Many times, FSA farm units are different thanfederal crop insurance farm units, so yield verifica-tion requirements will likely be different. Cropinsurance agents should be able to assist producerswith the required FSA documentation on most farmunits.

• All PLC farm program payments are calculatedon the basis of crop base acres (2014-18), so a producer could receive afarm program payment for a crop in agiven year, even if they did not plant that crop onthat particular FSA farm unit from 2008-2012. Inthat case, the existing CCP yield would continue asthe FSA PLC program yield for 2014-2018.

• On rented farms, producers will need to workwith landowners regarding the best decision forupdating FSA program yields, as landowners willneed to sign the final decision at FSA offices.

• The updated FSA program yields will stay with aFSA farm unit in future years, through 2018, even ifthat farm unit is sold, or is rented to another pro-ducer.

• FSA procedures for establishing farm program

payment yields will be followed on retiring CRPacres that come back into production from 2014-18.

• The decision to update FSA program yields willlikely come sooner than the decision on the farm pro-gram choice (PLC or ARC), so if land owners mightbe considering the PLC option on a farm unit, theyshould investigate if the option to update FSA pro-gram yields is favorable.

• Updating the program yields on a FSA farm unitonly affects the PLC farm program option for 2014-18; however, it is not clear if the updated programyields on a farm unit would be continued for future

FSA farm program payment determinations beyond2018, even if the PLC program option is not selectedfor 2014-18.Bottom line

During the next few months, producers andlandowners should review their current CCP yieldson existing FSA farm units, and compare that towhat the updated FSA program yields would be,based on actual crop yields on that farm unit from2008-12, times 90 percent (0.90). If a farm unit hadprevented planted acres, significantly reducedyields, or planted a crop every other year, duringthose five years, the calculations to update programyields may become a bit more complicated.

The landowners and producers should also beginto analyze potential farm program payments on afarm unit for different crops, under both the PLCand ARC options of the new farm bill, with the vari-ous crop base acre options. The decision to updateFSA program yields will only impact paymentsunder the PLC farm program option, and not theARC program. FSA Offices will be providing officialinformation and details on updating FSA programyields in the coming week.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’sNational Agricultural Statistics Servicereleased the final 2012 Census of Agri-culture results sharing a wide-range ofinformation about what agriculturalproducts were raised in the UnitedStates in 2012, and where, how and bywhom they were grown.The data, whichis reported at the national, state andcounty level, will help farmers, ranchers,local officials, agribusiness and othersmake decisions for the future.

“Census data provides the founda-tion of information needed to designprograms and initiatives that supportagriculture and serve the farmersacross Minnesota”, said Dave Freder-ickson, Minnesota Commissioner ofAgriculture.

“The Census of Ag is an extremelyvaluable snapshot of agriculture inIowa and across the nation that helpstell the story of our state’s farmers,”said Iowa Secretary of Agriculture BillNorthey. “The results released todayagain show the tremendous economicimpact of agriculture on our state’seconomy and the importance of Iowaagriculture nationally. It also contains

valuable information about the conser-vation practices used on farms, showingthat farmers use no-till or conservationtillage on two-thirds of their crop acres.”

The 2012 Census of Agriculture datashow the following key trends:Minnesota

• Number of farms in Minnesota, at74,542, fell 8 percent from 2007. Thisreversed a short term trend wherefarm numbers increased slightly in1997, 2002 and 2007. Although thecount of farm operations with har-vested cropland was relativelyunchanged, declines in the count ofoperations with other types of landand livestock enterprises contributedto the overall decline in farms. A farmis defined as any place from which$1,000 or more of agricultural prod-ucts were produced and sold, or nor-mally would have been sold, duringthe Census year.

• Land in farms in Minnesotatotaled 26.0 million acres, down 3 per-cent from 2007. Declines in pasture,other cropland, and wood land acresoff-set an increase in cropland har-

vested acres.• Market value of agricultural prod-

ucts sold increased 61 percent over2007 while total production expensesincreased 50 percent. This resulted inan increase of net cash farm incomewhich averaged $94,345 per farm.

• Average age of the principal opera-tor in 2012 was 56.6 years, continuingthe steady long term increasing trend.

• Beginning farmers, those who haveoperated a farm for less than 10 years,account for 17 percent of all principleoperators.

• Women are principal operators for6,370 farms in Minnesota, down from7,361 in 2007. These operations makeup 9 percent of all farms, 4 percent ofland in farms and sold 398 million dol-lars worth of agricultural products in2012.Iowa

• In 2012, the value of agriculturalproducts sold by Iowa farmers totaled$30.8 billion, up nearly 51 percent or$10.4 billion from 2007. Crop salesaccounted for $17.4 billion of the totaland livestock sales accounted for $13.4billion, up 68 and 34 percent, respec-tively, from 2007.

• Iowa ranked 2nd nationally for

total value of agricultural products,crop sales and livestock sales in 2012,with Iowa moving up one position from2007 for each item.

• Farmers in Sioux, Lyon, and Kos-suth counties had the largest value ofsales in 2012, with Kossuth countyranking as the top corn producingcounty in the U.S. and Sioux countyranking 3rd nationally for the numberof hogs and pigs sold.

• Farmers spent a total of $23.7 bil-lion on production expenses in 2012,up nearly 54 percent from the $15.4billion in 2007.

• The amount of land operated byIowa farmers declined by less than 1percent between 2007 and 2012, from30.7 million acres.

• Farmers harvested crops from 24.5million acres in 2012 with no-till prac-tices used on 6.95 million acres andconservation tillage practices used on8.76 million acres.

• The average farm size of the 88,637Iowa farms was 345 acres in 2012.

Do you have a Back Roads story suggestion? E-mail [email protected] or write to Editor, The Land, P.O. Box 3169, Mankato, MN 56002.

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondent Richard SiemersThe littlest polka town

Seaforth, Minn., takes claim as“The Smallest Polka Town in theUnited States.”

While no scientific survey has beentaken to confirm that honor, neither hasanyone come forward to challenge it.

With a population of 86, more or less,Seaforth holds an annual Polka Fest inthe middle of July that draws a num-ber of polka bands. Duane and DonnaKasten initiated the Polka Fest andstill attend.

The Kastens met at a polka dance.They moved to Seaforth from the TwinCities and opened the C4th Bar. Theywanted their kids to grow up in a ruralarea, but they also wanted to encour-

age their interest in music, so theyoccasionally brought musicians to playat the bar.

Then they got the idea that the townneeded more activity, so they sent cardsto musicians to come and display theirtalent, with no promise of payment.Thirteen groups took them up on it andcame to play under a tent in a gravelarea behind the bar. From there, theweekend of polka music grew.

The next year they set up two tentson the street and the crowds kept com-ing. When the Kastens sold the bar sixyears later, the Seaforth Booster Clubtook responsibility for the thrivingevent.

“Originally we had the two tents,”said Marvin and Maureen Bernardi,who have headed up the weekend formany years. “Then the Booster Clubbuilt the shelter house.”

Available for picnics and gatheringsin the summer, the building serves asthe dance hall at the Polka Fest.

Proceeds from the weekend helpedbuild the shelter house and have gonefor other community improvements,too. This community fundraiser hascontributed to a playground, the ballfield, and a fire hall addition.

The Polka Fest has expanded toinclude softball, horseshoe, and beanbag tournaments, an evening Polka

Mass, a catered chicken supper, andeven a couple of country-rock bands forthe non-polka crowd. But the polka isstill the foundation of the celebration.

It was a radio station in New Ulm,Minn., on which the Polka Fest adver-tised that labeled Seaforth “The Small-est Polka Town in the United States.”This German settlement intends tokeep living up to the label. And the Kas-tens have returned for it every year.

“We’re pleased the Polka Fest hascontinued, and with all the work theBernardis put in,” Kastens said.

Seaforth’s Polka Fest has been cele-brated for over 40 years. It is the thirdFriday and Saturday in July. ❖
