“How I take care of my pigs is how I show I’m thankful for the pigs,” accordingto Marti Knoblock of Rock Rapids, Iowa. Turn to Page 4B to read how this 2015America’s Pig Farmer of the Year finalist is commited to animal care, food safetyand sustainable farming.

Visit www.AmericasPigFarmer.comfor information about the award, andwww.PorkCares.org for details on the

award winner, announced Oct. 7.

We continue to read about obesity andother “lifestyle” issues cheating us from alonger life. What we don’t realize is thatGod has a plan for aging. And many of us,myself included, need to start payingattention. These words that were sharedwith me, and I pass on to you, essentiallyare just for us seniors, but you will noteGod’s plan fits many, regardless the age.So please read on...

We all know that most seniors never getenough exercise. However in His wisdomGod decreed that seniors become forgetfulso they would have to search for theirglasses, keys and other things thusdoing more walking. God looked downand saw that it was good.

Then God saw another need. He made seniors losecoordination so they would drop things requiring tobend, reach and stretch. God looked down and sawthat it was good.

Then God considered the function of bladders anddecided seniors should have additional calls ofnature requiring more trips to the bathroom, thusproviding more exercise. God looked down and sawthat it was good.

So as you age and battle a few infirmities rememberit is God’s will. All this is in your best interest so quitmuttering under your breath.

Up next, sent to me by my sister, a retired medicalprofessional, these nine facts to remember as we age:

No. 9 — Death is the No. 1 killer in the world.No. 8 — Life is sexually transmitted.No. 7 — Good health is merely the slowest possible

rate at which one can die.No. 6 — Men have two motivations: hunger and

hanky panky, and they can’t tell them apart. If yousee a gleam in his eyes, make him a sandwich.

No. 5 — Give a person a fish and you feed them fora day. Teach a person to use the internet and theywon’t bother you for weeks, months, maybe years.

No. 4 — Health nuts are going to feel stupid some-day, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing.

No. 3 — All of us could take a lesson from theweather. It pays no attention to criticism.

No. 2 — In the ’60s, people took acid to make theworld weird. Now the world is weird and people takeProzac to make it normal.

No. 1 — Life is like a jar of jalapeño pep-pers. What you do today may be a burningissue tomorrow.

So enjoy getting older. And thanks be toGod for these “tools” that will help us getthere. You active farmers are getting plentyof exercise right now bringing in yourlargest crops in history — well, most of you.

Now let’s jump into politics. It’s becomingan extremely entertaining agenda. Westarted with 16-plus Republican candidatesfor U.S. President. We’re already down to

14, I think. A few more will likely fall bythe wayside soon. But I must say I amquite intrigued, and at times amused, by

the “political outsiders” who obviouslyhave captured the attention of many people. Yes, Mr.Trump offers some outrageous commentary, yet his“free speech” and business successes generate respect.And he is indeed never without an answer.

We all know Congress needs to be fixed. With a $19trillion national debt, they can’t keep kicking the candown the road. You perhaps have heard of billionaireWarren Buffett’s quick remedy. “I could end the deficitin five minutes,” he said in a CNBC interview back in2011. “You just pass a law that says that anytime thereis a deficit of more than three percent of GDP, all sittingmembers of Congress are ineligible for re-election.”

Suffice to say Election 2016 will be a humdinger. Atthis stage who knows what will happen. All I cansuggest is that the Congress of the United States isin for some major changes. If not, we have only our-selves to blame.

Farm friends, enjoy this remarkable harvest season.I’m even more certain that my earlier boasting aboutMinnesota’s state average corn yield surpassing thatof Iowa is a safe bet. I think Minnesota growers willnudge 184 bu./acre or better and that would be a 10-bushel increase over their previous best in 2006. Cer-tainly wish there was some assurance you would bemarketing this huge crop for $4 or better.

As 2015 moves toward the finish line, this closingthought: With incredible forest fires in our westernstates, extreme moisture in the eastern Cornbelt,and now huge rains and hurricane storms on theEast Coast, we in middle America have indeed beenblessed. Thanksgiving should be a most memorableevent for all of us.

INSIDE THIS ISSUE

The recent history of the third mostpowerful constitutional office in theUnited States, the Speaker of the House ofRepresentatives, is so checkered that youhave to seriously question the backgroundof anyone who seeks it.

For example, in June 1989, Texan JimWright, who had been Speaker for twoyears and change, resigned when itbecame public that he had routedunearned speaking fees through his wife’sjob. Yep, not smart.

Wright’s main accuser was a hyperac-tive young Republican backbencher noone had ever heard of: Newton LeroyGingrich.

Wright was followed by the hardworking formerboss of the House Ag Committee, Tom Foley, who, inNov. 1994, became the first sitting Speaker to bedefeated for reelection since the Civil War. Ouch.

The Republican rout that clipped Foley deliveredthe Speaker’s gavel to the now well-known Gingrich.The job turned into a nightmare for Newt. In 1995, agovernment shutdown he had advocated became aRepublican disaster. In 1997, he barely beat a “coup”attempt by four GOP colleagues. (One was JohnBoehner.)

Then, after a poor GOP showing in the 1998 mid-terms, a bruised Gingrich quit. On his way out, how-ever, Never Nice Newt said he was glad to be goingbecause he was “not willing to preside over peoplewho are cannibals.”

And this from a person who had a one-word rejoin-der for anyone — friend or foe alike — who chal-lenged him: “Pathetic.”

Enter, briefly, Robert Livingston, a long-servingcongressman from Louisiana, who deftly maneu-

vered to succeed Gingrich. Before theHouse could coronate him, however, Liv-ingston withdrew because of personalindiscretions.

And, yes, those indiscretions wereexactly what you think they were.

Republicans quickly turned to a rum-pled, no-surprises former wrestling coachfrom Illinois, J. Dennis Hastert. Hastertserved as Speaker until his quiet, still-no-surprises retirement in 2007.

On Sept. 29, however, the AssociatedPress reported that attorneys forHastert were negotiating “a possibleplea agreement” to an “indictment

handed down in May” that allegedHastert had agreed “to pay someone $3.5 million tohide claims of past misconduct.”

And, yes, those “claims of past misconduct,” notedthe AP, are exactly what you think they are.

In 2007, Democrat Nancy Pelosi became the firstwoman Speaker. She served four years withoutindictment, coup, election defeat, scandal or resigna-tion before the Republicans regained the Housemajority in the 2010 mid-term elections.

That return brought the return of would-be-Gin-grich-deposer, John Boehner. Boehner’s tenure, how-ever, has been as big a nightmare as Gingrich’s. Thefar right wing of his party has delivered him oneembarrassing defeat after another despite clearHouse majorities.

A big hit came in mid-2013 when Boehner’s chiefwhip, Kevin McCarthy, failed to get enough votes topass an uncontroversial farm bill. It was a shocking

setback for Boehner, McCarthy, and their stalwartRepublican allies: farmers. (A similar farm billpassed in 2014, with Boehner, for the first time ever,voting for a multi-year farm law.)

Now the Ohioan is out and Californian McCarthy,whose grandfather was a rancher, likely is in. Noone sees any more legislative success for him thanwhat Boehner enjoyed — which, in fact, was little tonone.

Pundits disagree on all the reasons why failure isa hallmark of today’s politics but a big part, theysay, is Big Money giving big money to ambitiouspoliticians who brazenly seek power.

Thus it ever was; politics has always been aboutraw ambition and raw power. That’s exactly how somany deeply flawed people attained the Speaker-ship. That and the fact that we envied and financed

Boehner’s exit — Only thing surprising is our surprise

It’s not easy to get people to agree onthings these days. Our political climate,combined with the constant din of socialmedia and 24-hour cable news channels, providesample opportunity for confrontation, and little timeto have an actual conversation.

However, I think there’s one thing most everyonecan agree on: We all want to breathe cleaner air andsave a few bucks when we put fuel in ourvehicles. I am proud to say that Minnesota’scorn farmers are helping to make both ofthose things happen.

Over the last two years, the MinnesotaCorn Growers Association has been part of abroad coalition that has made investments toinstall flex-fuel pumps at Minnesota sta-tions. More than 40 fuel stations now containabout 120 flex-fuel pumps capable of dispens-ing a combination of regular unleaded, E15 (a fuelblend of 15 percent ethanol and 85 percent gasolineapproved for use in all vehicles made in 2001 ornewer), E30 or E85 (for flex-fuel vehicles only).

Earlier this month, we received word that the Fuel-ing Ethanol Choice in Minnesota coalition will soonbe able to fund 620 new flex-fuel pumps in Min-nesota thanks to a grant from the U.S. Departmentof Agriculture.

In addition to MCGA, the coalition includes theAmerican Lung Association in Minnesota, Minnesotaethanol plants, Minnesota Department of Agricul-ture and the Minnesota Biofuels Association. Fundsfrom these organizations will be combined with theUSDA grant to install the new flex-fuel pumps andfurther cement Minnesota as a national leader inhomegrown biofuels.

Why is MCGA investing in flex-fuelinfrastructure? Obviously, more flex-

fuel pumps means greater access toethanol fuels and better markets for Minnesota-grown corn. But our reasons go well beyondstrengthening the corn market.

Flex-fuel pumps provide drivers with a cleaner-burning choice at the pump. According to the Envi-

ronmental Protection Agency, replacing agallon of gasoline with a gallon of ethanolreduces greenhouse gas emissions by asmuch as 60 percent.

When the Twin Cities region was in non-attainment status with EPA due to poor airquality in the mid-1990s, we turned toethanol to help clean our air. It worked.Today, corn farmers remain committed toethanol and are making the necessary

investments in infrastructure and research to useethanol in the fight to curb global warming and pre-serve our planet for future generations.

Typically, ethanol is also less expensive than gaso-line. On average, a gallon of ethanol costs about 50cents less than a gallon of gasoline. You can usuallyfill up with E15 for 10-20 cents less than regularunleaded, E85 for as much as $1 less per gallon.

The owner of a new vehicle today can expect to payover $600 less for fuel over the vehicle’s lifetimebecause of ethanol-blended gasoline.

For far too long, the oil industry has been success-ful in blocking the installation of flex-fuel infrastruc-ture in order to maintain its monopoly on our fueltanks and our wallets. Minnesota corn farmers havenever been intimidated by Big Oil’s deep pockets andpolitical power. We’re going to keep working onbehalf of all consumers for market access for home-grown biofuels.

Cleaner-burning and less expensive choices at thepump are becoming more of a reality for Min-nesotans. We’ve still got a long battle ahead, but restassured, Minnesota’s corn farmers will keep fighting.

This commentary was submitted by Bruce Peterson,a Northfield, Minn., farmer and President of the Min-nesota Corn Growers Association. ❖

OPINION

GUEBERT, from pg. 3Athem rather than questioned and checked ’em.

The split among “cannibal” Republicans isn’t neweither. Recall Barry Goldwater in 1964 and the shat-tering defeat the GOP took that November. It pavedthe path for President Lyndon Johnson’s Great Soci-ety programs that quickly followed.

No, today’s political failure isn’t new (or news) so itshouldn’t be surprising. What is surprising, however,is how we’re always surprised by it. Maybe that’swhy history repeats itself: it’s giving us anotherchance to learn.

DES MOINES, Iowa — Iowa Secre-tary of Agriculture Bill Northey com-mented on the Iowa Crops and Weatherreport released by the USDA NationalAgricultural Statistics Service.

“Iowa farmers were able to harvest aquarter of the state’s 10 million acresof soybeans last week and have now 32percent of beans out of the field,” saidNorthey.

“Thirteen percent of the state’s corncrop has also been harvested. Both ofthese numbers will likely continue togrow rapidly as crops continue to drydown and even more farmers get intothe field.”

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

& northern Iowa producersThe Pulks Wannaska, Minn.

The yields may not be spectacular but at leastAndy Pulk is experiencing “beautiful conditions”for harvest. He was “just about done with mysoybeans” when The Land spoke with Pulk onSept. 25; the yield was “average to belowaverage.” Meanwhile, the sunflowers won’t beharvested for another 10 to 12 days. He’soptimistic about good corn yields — “There’s 40acres of corn that might be close to one of my

records.” With corn moisturecurrently between 28 to 30percent, Pulk would ideallylike to see that drop six toeight percent before hecombines. He expects to beharvesting corn in 10 to 15

days. Pulk suspects that “wheat is going to be thehighlight of our year.” Many long days and nightsin the combine await, but pleasant harvestconditions will make the job much easier.

The Lees McIntosh, Minn.

The soybeans are ready to combine but JoanLee’s focus has been to get corn chopping done.The Land spoke to Lee on Sept. 24 as the cornchopping had just wrapped up, and there’s “someleft to combine.” Once bean harvest begins, Leeexpects that it will take four to five days tocomplete harvest. As for the corn, “it will be awhile before the rest of it is ready to combine.”When Lee was chopping she saw at least two ears

on each stalk — “they weregood sized and filled out.” Inthe midst of harvest, she’sfeeling positive so far. “It’sstill going good.”

The Haarstads Rothsay, Minn.

John Haarstad tookadvantage of good conditionsand got his soybean harvestcompleted in nine straightdays. When The Land spoketo Haarstad on Sept. 24, he was happy to reportthat bean harvest was complete in record time.“The beans were good; a lot better than Ithought.” Now thoughts turn to corn. “We’re

black layered,” Haarstad said. He was going toput the corn head on and try to combine somecorn on the 24th. While that’s historically earlyfor Haarstad, it’s “not that early in terms ofrecent memory.” If the corn isn’t ready then he’llgo get some tiling done. He said the forecastcalled for “pretty nice weather for the next weekand a half.” Whether it’s corn harvest or tileprojects, Haarstad has some good weather aheadto get the job done.

The Filzens Renville, Minn.

Soybean harvest is 60 percent complete forDale Filzen and so far the “yields have been verygood.” He reported to The Land Sept. 28 that ina couple more days bean harvest would be done.Corn is currently at 20 to 25 percent moisture;it’s “drying pretty good.” Filzen said he expectedto “start picking the end of this week. ... a littleahead of normal.” Meanwhile, the sugar beets’sugar “has come up nicely.” Full harvest for beets

were to start Friday. “I’ll beglad to get the beans out,then concentrate on corn andbeets,” he said. Even withthree different crops that heexpected to be harvestingthis week, Filzen said that so

far “I feel we’re sitting pretty good.”

The ThorpesCanby, Minn.

When The Land spoke with Nathan Thorpe Oct.1, he said he expected the soybean harvest to bewrapped up by the end of the day. Thorpe begancombining beans Sept. 19 and was pleased athow things have turned out — “the weather’sbeen great; yields are excellent.” Next he’ll take acouple of days to spread fertilizer and do somechisel plowing on bean ground, and figured he’dbe “ready to go” on corn around Oct. 5. “This is

perfect harvest weather,”Thorpe said. Corn harvest isexpected to take about threeweeks to complete. Aroundthis date Thorpe is normallyjust starting on beans, socorn harvest this year will be

ahead of schedule. “I don’t think you could ordera better year (for weather). ... I’m very thankfulfor what we have here; not every year you get acrop like this.”

The PagelsWinthrop, Minn.

Kidney bean harvest isfinally finished, DelaynePagel told The Land Oct. 1,reporting he was “OK withthe yield.” Once the kidneybeans were done, Pagel started on corn. “I’m kindof impressed with the yields on the corn,” hesaid. Then soybeans became ready so Pagelswitched to that; he said he’d never combined

bean stalks that green. “I thought they’d yield alittle bit better than they are (but they’re still)better than last year by a long shot.” Pagelexpected it will take about one to two weeks tocomplete bean harvest, then he’ll start again oncorn. “This is a slow year to combine due to tallstalks.” Pagel is pleased that the “moisture onthe corn isn’t too bad.” His goal is get all cropsharvested by Halloween. He still remembers theHalloween blizzard of 1991, something hewouldn’t care to see again.

The MarblesMapleton, Minn.

Soybean harvest is almostcomplete for Harlan Marblebut there’s no rest in sight —the corn is nearly ready to go.The Land spoke with Marbleon Oct. 3, and he reported that he hoped tofinish the beans the next day. He found that the“test weight has been down in some of it” but“above average” for yields. Harvest began Sept.

24 and has gone “really well.” When the beansare done, Marble will start preparations for cornharvest. “We could be full-blown into corn byWednesday (Oct. 7),” he predicted. Marbleexpects it will take anywhere from 10 days tothree weeks to harvest the corn. In the midst oflong days and nights in the combine, Marble callsthis harvest “perfect.”

The HeusinkveldsWykoff, Minn.

Corn silage harvest is complete for NateHeusinkveld. When The Land spoke toHeusinkveld on Oct. 1 he was grateful for thegood weather during harvest and called the crop“pretty good.” Now the focus is on “haulingmanure and getting ready to do high-moisture(corn).” Heusinkveld planned to start combiningthat corn in about a week. “I think it will bepretty good yielding, the way it looks.” He expects

it will take three days tocomplete corn harvest. He’smore than thankful thathaying is done —“It was ahard haying year,” he said,which he attributes that to “alot moisture making it tough

to dry.” Yield was good, however. Heusinkveldwould like to get the calf barn finished beforewinter. There are still crops the field but withgood weather, the end of harvest is in sight.

The KempsSibley, Iowa

In the midst of soybean harvest, Brian Kemptold The Land Oct. 1 that the weather continuesto be wonderful. Not only that, but he was happywith the yields he was seeing. “I’ve got severalmore days yet (of combining),” said Kemp, whostarted combining beans Sept. 24. “The corn isstill fairly wet,” he said, “(but) the forecast looksreally good for the next several days.” Kemp planson “checking out the corn” over the next two

weeks. Overall, he said,harvest conditions have beenfavorable. “It’s a good harvestso far.”

The Froemmings Garfield, Minn.

Some soybean harvests aregood; some are so bad that ithurts. This year’s crop forRodney Froemming wasneither of those — it wasgreat. When The Land spoke with Froemming onSept. 25, he was thrilled to report that this year’ssoybeans were “the best we’ve ever had in ourlives. ... Best I’ve ever had by eight to nine

bushels.” Some beans were yielding 60 bushelsper acre. What made this year’s beans yield sowell for Froemming? It was a combination of“decent heat, good moisture,” he said. OnceFroemming completes his bean harvest he’ll startsome soybean custom combine work. He predictsthat corn will be “an exceptional crop.” Thingsare shaping up to be an excellent harvest on theFroemming farm.

It was just shy of October when daugh-ter Elizabeth stepped out of her home baf-fled. She asked Landon, her five-year-old,why he wasn’t wearing a shirt. “I’m haul-ing manure,” he said.

“Why do you need your shirt off to dothat?” she asked.

Landon shrugged, pointed to the guywho was pumping their pit, and said,“Because he is.”

You don’t ever have to ask our younggrandsons who they are paying attentionto. All you have to do is watch them play.During harvest season they’ve got their combine,trucks and bins spread from one end of the livingroom to the other. Come basketball season, they’llbe charging through the house like they’re highschool players bolting from the locker room at thestate tournaments.

Children are like sponges. They soak in their sur-roundings, repeating our words and emulating ourattitudes and actions. In one of my all-time favoritebooks, “Too Small to Ignore,” Dr. Wess Stafford

likens them to wet cement.“When you poke your finger into wet

cement, you get instant results. Theindentation is there for all to see,” writes Stafford.“Later on, as the cement begins to set up, you have topush hard to make an impression. When it comes tofull-scale adults, the concrete has become like a rock.If you want to reshape the spirit at this point, youneed a hammer and chisel.”

Stafford implores his readers to press the name ofJesus on every child’s heart. I couldn’t agree more.But it goes beyond matters of faith. Children’s heartsare tender and pliable in every aspect of their lives.The things they hear, see and experience in theirhomes and schools, on their screens and on thestreets, shape the people they become.

It’s why telling a child to “do as I say, not as I do,”won’t cut it. Faith, work ethic, care for people, and

the world we live in is more often caught thantaught. Though adults may be inattentive to howtheir personal choices impact the next generation,the kids are paying keen attention. They are watch-ing how we react and interact. What may feel routinein the way we do life are wet-cement moments in theheart of a child.

That’s why how we love, value, and care for chil-dren matters so much!

Think back. When you were little, who believed inyou before you believed in yourself? Like me, it’sprobably your parents or other family members. Andthere was a teacher named Mrs. B.

She had this red pen that was always, always withher. That pen was in constant motion, and it did itsshare of editing my papers.

But much more than that, it encouraged. Mrs. Bused her red words and her real love for God andkids to shape the next generation. That dear ladysaw something in me long before I could see it inmyself. And I’m grateful.

This is the calling — the “get to” — of every parent,grandparent, teacher, coach, and children’s ministryor youth volunteer. We get to pay it forward! We getto be people who invest in the lives of the next gener-ation. We get to tell children why they matter to Godand to us.

Here’s the thing. One day they may pay it forward,too. “Your small pebble in the pond of one child’s lifemay send out ripples that eventually transformmany others,” writes Stafford. And the culminationof changed lives will revolutionize the world.

By SARAH JOHNSONThe Land Correspondent

An unusual book arrived on my doorstep the otherday, the unexpected yet oddly fascinating “TheWhole Goat Handbook” by Janet Hurst (VoyageurPress, 2013). In this nifty volume I discovered awhole universe of goats I never would have believed.You can milk ’em, you can eat ’em, you can spin theirhair into yarn, and you can make the darnedestsoaps out of their milk. Plus they’re full of personal-ity and generally too smart for their own good.

The author, Janet Hurst, is an avid fan of all thingsgoaty, and the book is chock full of information, pho-tos and anecdotes about the critters that have stolenher heart. Goats have transcended both time andgeography, appearing in history again and again,among disparate cultures. The consumption of goatmeat and milk (including cheese) has been going onlong, long before humans could write down any sortof recipe.

■

Following is a recipe for making beautiful, flavorfuland easy pint jars of feta cheese cubes, onions andtomatoes marinated in basil-tinged olive oil. As therecipe says, it makes a wonderful all-in-one saladtopping as well as a heavenly dipping sauce forbread. A lover of all things feta, I jumped right onthis recipe and fixed a couple of pint jars — a greatfeature of this recipe is you can use it to make two or20 or 200 jars — and received a rating of four out offour “yums” from the extended family. They have tomarinate in the fridge for a week, but your patiencewill be amply rewarded.Feta in Olive Oil with Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Feta cheese in brine, cut into 1⁄2-inch cubesFresh whole basil leavesOnion, slicedGarlic clovesSun-dried tomatoesOlive oilPint-sized jars with lidsPlace the feta cheese cubes in pint jars. Arrange

the fresh basil leaves around the inner surface of thejar so they look attractive. Layer the feta cheese withthe sliced onions, garlic cloves and sun-dried toma-toes. Fill the jars with olive oil, and refrigerate themfor a few days for the flavors to blend.

Serve at room temperature. The oil picks up the fla-vors and makes an excellent salad dressing or dip forwarm French bread. This recipe can accommodateother vegetables, such as zucchini and fresh peppers.

■

Three-cheese Italian-style pasta shells burstingwith saucy deliciousness? Count me in, especiallynow that the season is calling for heartier fare. Mix-ing up one’s cheese choices with the occasional chevreand other “exotic” cheeses to expand one’s repertoire isa very good thing to do.Stuffed Shells with Chevre

1 box jumbo pasta shells, cooked and drainedaccording to package directions

1 jar prepared marinara sauce, traditional style2 eggs3 1⁄2 cups chevre blended with 1⁄2 cup goat (or cow)

milk4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided1 1⁄2 cups grated Parmesan cheese, divided1 tablespoon dried parsleyBeat the eggs in a large bowl. Stir in the

chevre/milk blend, 3 cups of the mozzarella, 1 cup ofParmesan and the parsley. Fill each cooked shellwith the cheese mixture. Arrange the filled shells ina baking dish; top with marinara sauce. Add theremaining Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses on top.

Bake, covered with foil, until bubbly, about 45 min-utes at 325 F. Uncover and cook until the cheese ismelted, about 5 minutes. Let the shells stand fiveminutes before serving.

■

Goat meat may be a little “tough” to think about,but it’s not tough to chew, contrary to its reputation.(You do have to make sure you’re buying “young” goatif you are using the meat in chunks, but ground goatmeat is often from a more senior animal, and that’sfine.) Goat is often cooked with Tex-Mex or Latin sea-

sonings as well as plenty of peppers, onion and gar-lic to offset any gaminess it may possess.Ground Goat Meatloaf With Chipotle Ketchup

1 pound ground goat meat2 eggs1⁄2 cup prepared pico de gallo1 small onion, chopped2 cups crushed saltine crackersChipotle ketchup (recipe below)Combine the ingredients in the order listed up to

the chipotle ketchup. Form the mix into a loaf andplace it in a baking pan. Bake for 45 minutes at 350F. Remove from oven and spread 1⁄4 cup chipotleketchup on the top of the meatloaf. Return it to theoven for five minutes. Remove it from the heat andlet it stand for five minutes before slicing and serv-ing with extra chipotle ketchup on the side.Chipotle Ketchup

To one cup of your favorite ketchup, add 3 table-spoons canned chipotle in adobo puree. Stir in adash of cinnamon, salt and honey. Refrigerate.Yields a little over one cup.

■

The simple additions of lemon juice and fresh chiveslets the character of the fresh chevre shine in this nextrecipe for a cheese dip. (Replace the chives with what-ever fresh herbs suits your fancy if you’ve got ‘em.)Goat cheese is flavorful enough to carry the day.Goat Cheese Dip

4 ounces fresh chevre1⁄2 cup sour cream1 tablespoon lemon juice1/8 cup chopped chivesSalt, to tasteMix the first four ingredients, then fold in the

chives. Add salt to taste. Place in a ramekin andchill. Serve with crackers and perhaps some pepperjelly.

Ornamental grasses haveregularly graced private gar-dens as well as being usedextensively in public gardensand landscape projects forseveral decades.

One splendid cultivar isHakonechloa or Japanese For-est Grass. This is the absolutebest ornamental grass forshade to a partly shaded area.

Our clump is six years oldand just this year has exhib-ited the attributes that makeit a “must have” in a partly shaded area. It is a rela-tively slow grower and stays in a well-behavedclump, gradually expanding as its rhizomes spreadeach year.

Hakonechloa was a designated Perennial Plant ofthe Year in 2009 and that award guaranteed Iwould purchase it! Plants given that award havebeen highly tested and recommended by growers.

This member of the grass family (Poaceae), bright-ens and adds texture as well as rhythm as theleaves move readily in a slight breeze. The plantgrows wider than it is tall — about 12 inches highand 14-plus inches wide. The color at a distance isan eye-catching chartreuse shade but a closer

inspection reveals the cream stripes on the leaves. Ittends to be dark chartreuse in heavier shade and abrighter gold tone when grown in more sun.

Japanese Forest Grass appreciates rich humus,partial shade, plenty of moisture and well-drainedsoil. A good mulch helps retain moisture and keepsweeds down. It is not prone to diseases and I let theplant keep its foliage through the winter to act as a

protective mulch. In early spring I cut off the driedleaves and wait for the bright new sprouts to appear.

Hakonechloa comes from the Hakone region ofJapan, a famous park area with a view of MountFuji. Visitors from near and far to this area aredrawn to the grace of this plant that grows abun-dantly on the cliffs.

It has a bamboo-like appearance and makes agreat border, can cascade over a low bank or wall,makes a good container plant adding a roundedbuffer to taller plants and is just by itself outra-geously stunning.

I read one description that said they look “amazingas a solid planted row mimicking a long-limbed shagcarpet”. Our six-year-old clump will be gettingdivided next spring to make a long-limbed char-treuse shag carpet!

Readers ask: What can I do to stop the Asian bee-tles and box elder bugs from getting inside my house?

These unwanted guests push into cracks and enterhouses near the foundation or any other place theycan gain entry. They like warm sunny places so con-trols should be mainly on the south and west sides ofyour house. The University of Minnesota Extensionlists effective insecticides available to the public as:bifenthrin, cyfluthrin, cyhalothrin, deltramethrin,permethrin and tralomethrin. There are many tradenames for these chemicals; read the “Active Ingredi-ents” on the label. The best time to spray is when youfirst see the insects clustering around your house.Once the pests get inside the best control is a vac-uum cleaner.

According to a study published in the journal Obe-sity, Purdue University researchers found thatincluding protein from lean pork in your diet canhelp you lose weight while maintaining more leantissue, including muscle. The pork dieters ratedthemselves more positively in terms of overall moodand feelings of pleasure during dieting compare tothose who ate less protein.

The women in the study followed either a high-pro-tein diet or a normal-protein diet but the sameamount of calories. The women who ate more pro-tein, with pork as their only source of meat, feltfuller longer after meals.Compare pork

Pork truly is The Other White Meat. According toan analysis by the U.S. Department of Agriculture,pork tenderloin contains the same amount of fat andslightly less calories than the same serving of skin-less chicken breast. Cooked pork tenderloin is 120calories, chicken breast 140 calories, and beef eye ofround 141 calories per serving.

What’s more, the same analysis found there are sixcuts of pork that are considered either extra lean orlean by labeling standards. Now dieters have moreoptions than ever to make lean, healthy choiceswhen planning meals.

The high-protein diet included six ounces, or twoservings, of pork every day. It’s easy to reach this

goal by including lean cuts of pork like Canadianbacon with your eggs for breakfast, adding grilled orsautéed pork chop strips to your salad at lunch, orroasting pork tenderloin for dinner.

Grain AnglesTake control ofyour business

It’s never too early to begin your plan for manag-ing 2016. Even before the 2015 harvest is completedmany producers will have their seed and fertilizerinputs booked in order to capture discounts.

AgStar updates our Margin Manager with projectedincome and expenses for corn andsoybeans on a quarterly basis.This simple yet powerful tool —which you can find online atwww.AgStar.com/marginmanager— makes it easy to calculate thecosts of operation and helps deter-mine how those costs impact yourper bushel price objectives. Ournumbers come from a survey ofregional vendors for seed, fertilizerand chemical inputs.

On the other expense items, wereview our grain client enterpriseinformation and also utilize FIN-BIN and Extension data to come up with per-acreestimates. Not surprisingly our 2016 projections forcorn and soybeans do not look very rosy. Totalexpenses, not including land costs and family living,are showing approximately $550/acre for corn andapproximately $295 for soybeans. Depending onyour land costs and family living and taxes, 2016looks to be “in the red” in terms of profitability.

So as a producer, when you are reviewing yourprojected costs of production what are some thingsto consider?

• Some of your expense items are based on a com-parison to where you have been in the past. Is theinformation accurate? Are your records of good qual-ity (and on an accrual basis) so that you have

Grain OutlookCorn moves

sidewaysThe following market analysis is for the week end-

ing Oct. 2.CORN — Corn zig-zagged its way sideways this

week. It tested the $3.94 1⁄2 resistance level shortlybefore the release of the Grain Stocks as of Sept. 1report, but was unable to punchthrough. The remainder of theweek, it traded within the reportday’s range. December corngained a meager 1/4 cent for theweek to close at $3.89 1⁄4 perbushel with the July contractdown 2 1⁄2 cents at $4.10 1⁄4 perbushel.

Harvest is progressing withvery little being sold over thescale. In many areas in Min-nesota, less than 10 percent ofthe bushels coming in are beingsold at the spot price, insteadbeing applied to existing contracts or put into storageor delayed price. Home storage is also a popularchoice, as the trade expected. Basis levels easedlower with bushels coming into the pipeline. Harvestwas 18 percent complete as of Sept. 27 versus 23 per-cent on average and 11 percent last year. Harvest isexpected to hit at least 25 percent complete by Oct. 4.

The Grain Stocks as of Sept. 1 report (ending stocksfor the 2014-15 crop year) were 1.731 versus 1.739billion bushels expected and 1.732 billion bushels onthe September USDA crop report. The neutral reportturned into a volatile session with a slightly friendlysoybean report. Inventories on-farm were 34 percentof the total or 593 million bushels. The report wasquickly put behind us and focus returned to yieldreports and weather forecasts.

Livestock AnglesExcitement incattle market

There still is a lot of excitement in the livestockmarkets. This excitement is mainly in the cattle mar-ket as that market falls to yearly lows while the hogmarket continues on firm ground.

Both the cattle and the hogs have now seen largemoves in both directions in thepast few years. Each large moveto all-time highs was followed byvery severe drops after thesehighs were attained. Each ofthese rallies were met by the lackof demand at higher prices for theproduct rather than for the cur-rent supply.

The cattle market has seen asteep decline in both the futuresmarket and the cash market sincethe beginning of September. Thissevere drop in price was precipi-tated for several reasons.

The price of beef became too expensive as a proteinsource in comparison to other competitive meats. Thefact that cattle weights grew to enormous levels,caused the larger beef production to make up for thefewer animals that were available. This caused beefin storage to grow to levels not expected because ofthe fewer number of cattle available. And last but notleast the stronger U.S. dollar caused a slow down inthe export market.

So in combination of these different fundamentalfactors the result was a massive liquidation offutures contracts and live cattle.

Obviously the market is oversold for the timebeing, however until the fundamentals of supply anddemand come in concert with the total meat complex,

NYSTROM, from pg. 15AWeekly export sales at a marketing

year high were in-line with trade esti-mates at 29.5 million bushels. A solid85 percent of the sales were to Mex-ico. Sales need to average 30.8 millionbushels per week to hit the USDA’starget of 1.85 billion bushels ofexports. Competition in the exportarena remains strong with Ukraineand Brazilian origins cheaper thanthe United States. Brazil’s Septembercorn exports were up 51 percent fromAugust and 29 percent higher than ayear ago.

Weekly ethanol production was up7,000 barrels per day at 943,000 bpd.Early in the crop year, the annualizedcorn grind rate was on pace for 5.215billion bushels, in line with the latestUSDA outlook for 5.2 billion bushelsof grind this year. Ethanol stockswere down 5 million gallons at 789million gallons week on week.

The USDA announced in its newreport that in August 445.2 millionbushels of corn were used for fuelalcohol, nearly matching the weeklyethanol production reports. Also inthe report, 1.943 million metric tons

of dried distillers grainswere produced inAugust.

Informa Economics refreshed theircrop numbers as we closed out theweek. They pegged corn yield at 168.4,down 0.4 bushels per acre from theirlast estimate and compared to theUSDA’s 167.5 bu./acre forecast.Informa is looking for planted acres tobe at 88.4 million acres versus USDA’s88.9 million acres. For production, theyare at 13.561 billion bushels, downslightly from USDA’s 13.585 billionbushel projection.

OUTLOOK: December corn didn’tthrow us any curveballs this week andcontinues to find resistance at $3.941⁄2 per bushel. Short-term supportcomes in at $3.75 per bushel, then$3.65 per bushel. Not much to getenergized about as harvest gainsmomentum. The Oct. 9 crop report willprovide direction for the next move. Ifyield reports improve, prices shouldtest the lower end of the recent range.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans began theweek on a sour note with lower outsidemarkets, a declining Brazilian realand a big harvest weekend, despite

flash sales of 249,000metric tons of soybeans

to unknown for 2015-16and one mmt to China for 2016-17(part of the frame contract signed theprevious week). Harvest was 21 per-cent complete as of Sept. 27 comparedto 16 percent on average and 9 percentlast year. Soybean harvest is expectedto be 45 percent complete by Oct. 4.November soybeans fell 15 cents toclose the week at $8.74 1⁄4 per bushel.July beans were off 12 1⁄4 cents at$8.91 1⁄2 per bushel.

The Grain Stocks as of Sept. 1 reportdid provide a bump to prices when itshowed 191 million bushels of stocks,below the 205 million bushel tradeestimate and the September USDAreport’s 210 million bushel endingstocks number. On-farm stocks were49.7 million bushels or 26 percent ofthe total stocks. The 5-year average ofstocks on-farm is 24 percent. The 2014bean yield was dropped to 47.5bu./acre from 47.8 bu./acre, harvestedacres fell to 82.6 million acre from 83.1million, and production declined from3.969 billion bushels to 3.927 billionbushels. This suggests that last year’ssoybean crop was overestimated byaround 42 million bushels.

The friendliness of the report wasoffset by better-than-expected soybeanyields from around the Corn Belt. Post-report gains that pushed prices to$9.02 1⁄4 per bushel didn’t hold withthe close on report day at $8.92 perbushel.

Weekly export sales were an amaz-ing 92.1 million bushels, but total com-mitments are still 28 percent behindlast year. The USDA is calling for a sixpercent cut in exports year on year.China began their week-long GoldenWeek holiday Oct. 1. Brazilian soybeanplanting is spreading, with northernplanting slowed by dryness.

The newly reinstated National Agri-cultural Statistics Service Fats andOils Census crush for August wasfinally released on Oct. 1 at 156.5 mil-lion bushels. The average trade esti-mate was 142 million bushels, 6.7 mil-lion bushels higher than the AugustNOPA crush number.

This is puzzling since the USDA low-ered the 2014-15 bean production onthe Sept. 30 report from 3.969 billionto 3.927 billion bushels. I would look atthis report as a benchmark for futurereports as the trade tries to reconcilethis new report with the NOPA datathat we’ve been relying on for the lastfour years.

Informa Economics updated their2015-16 crop forecasts this week. Theyincreased their bean yield outlook to47.2 bu./acre from 47.0 bu./acre andUSDA’s 47.1 bu./acre. For acreage,they are expecting a decline on theOctober report to 82.97 million acresfrom USDA’s September 84.3 millionacres. Production is anticipated at3.878 billion bushels, smaller than theUSDA’s 3.935 billion bushel outlook inSeptember.

A new topic this week was the pro-tein levels in soybeans. Trade chatterincluded talk that processors were try-ing to cut the guaranteed protein lev-els on this year’s crop by 0.5 percent.Lower protein levels mean more mealmust be fed to achieve the same pro-tein. It’s too early to determine if thiswill become a significant problem, butwe’ll keep on top of it.

OUTLOOK: Yield reports are gener-ally better than expected regardless ofwhat the same area’s corn yieldsturned out to be. It would not surpriseme if the USDA increases the averageyield from 47.1 bu./acre when theyrelease new balance sheets on Oct. 9.November soybeans have been unableto close over $9.00 per bushel, leavingthem in an $8.95/$9.00 to $8.60 range.As we push into the back half of har-vest, I would anticipate the lower endof the range to be challenged and pos-sibly broken.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes forthe week ending Oct. 2: DecemberChicago wheat was 5 1⁄2 cents higher,Minneapolis gained 4 1⁄2 cents andKansas City was up just 1⁄4 cent.November crude oil fell 16 cents to closeat $45.54, ultra-low-sulfur diesel lost 21⁄2 cents, reformulated blendstock foroxygenate blending dropped 3 3⁄4 centsand natural gas plunged 18 centslower. Wheat stocks as of Sept. 1 were2.089 billion bushels, slightly lowerthan the 2.149 billion bushel estimate.A poor September payroll reportpushed the dollar lower to end the weekand raises questions about whether theinterest rate will be increased inDecember. ❖

Better-than-expected bean yields in Corn Belt

LARSON, from pg. 15Aexpenses placed in the right categoryand allocated to the correct crop year?

• What expenses can be reduced, ifany, and what is a realistic goal forexpense reduction? Setting a realisticgoal such as x$/acre or x$/bushel pro-duced is a good place to start. Therehave been a few articles circulatingrecently challenging producers todrop $100/acre in corn. Is this possi-ble in your operation while still tryingto maintain your own yield goals?

• The “big four expenses” (land cost,seed, fertilizer and chemicals) accountfor greater than 60 percent of thetotal cost of producing corn and soy-beans in our Margin Manager. Theymight be higher in your actual cost ofproduction. Since they represent sucha high percentage, any savings inthese areas may get you closer to yourexpense reduction goals. However, inthe case of seed, fertilizer and chemi-cals, will you sacrifice yield for reduc-tion in expenses?

• Family living is a very touchy sub-ject for most producers and lenders.Controlling family living expense

takes discipline and a real commit-ment amongst all family members.2014 FINBIN data indicates an aver-age farm family of three adult equiva-lents has family living of greater than$62,000. Add income taxes and non-farm asset purchases and you’re over$100,000 total family living. Knowinghow much you are allotting to familyliving now and where your familycould possibly reduce is worth theeffort. Consider how off-farm incomeoffsets your family living costs.

Projecting your cost of production ispart of a good overall managementplan. A review of your Margin Man-ager with your AgStar Financial Ser-vice Officer can be very helpful as youwork towards getting control of yourbusiness.

TEALE, from pg. 15Arallies may be short-lived.Producers shouldremain cognizant ofmarket conditions andprotect inventorieswhen available.

Hogs have been able tohold their own in priceover the past severalweeks. Packers havebeen persistent in thedesire to accumulateinventory to maintain alarge slaughter level atthe current positiveprofit margins.

However as we approach the mid-$70.00 area and above basis lean, itwould appear that we may see moreresistance in further price advance-ment. The pork cutout levels are alsomoving into areas near the $90.00 areaand above where previous consumer

resistance slowed theadvance.

The fact that theexport market hasslowed, also warrantssome caution thathigher prices may behard to maintain.

The good news is thatthe consumer has beenattracted to porkbecause of its value incomparison to the othermeats. This could havelong-term implicationsthat would be positivefor pork and pork pro-duction.

Producers should stay on top of mar-ket conditions and protect inventoriesas needed. Pay close attention to pre-mium and discounts in the markets. ❖

Packers havebeen persistentin the desire toaccumulateinventory tomaintain alarge slaughterlevel at the cur-rent positiveprofit margins.

Most crop producers inMinnesota and northernIowa that are enrolled in thecounty yield-based Ag RiskCoverage farm programchoice on their corn baseacres will earn a significantfarm program payment forthe 2014 crop year. In addi-tion, farm operators in somecounties will also earn sig-nificant ARC-CO paymenton soybean base acres forthe 2014 crop year. Allfarm program paymentsfor the 2014 crop yearare being paid in Octo-ber 2015.

All 2014 ARC-CO payments arebased on the final national marketyear average price for the 2014 cropyear, which was from Sept. 1, 2014 toAug. 31, 2015, and MYA prices werefinalized on Sept. 30, 2015. The final2014 MYA prices announced by theNational Agricultural Statistics Servicewere $3.70 per bushel for corn, and$10.10 per bushel for soybeans. Theseare the MYA prices that will be usedacross the United States on a countybasis to determine if corn and soybeanproducers are eligible for a 2014 ARC-

CO payment in October.Based on the final MYAprices, there will be no 2014Price Loss Coverage pay-ments for either corn or soy-beans.

The 2014 ARC-CO pay-ments for corn or soybeansare being paid when theactual 2014 county revenuefor that crop falls below the2014 county “revenue guar-antee” for that crop. The

actual county revenue isthe 2014 NASS countyyield for corn or soy-

beans, which wasreported in the spring of 2015, timesthe final 2014 MYA price for that crop.If that revenue amount is lower thanthe “revenue guarantee” for that cropin a given county, producers in thatcounty that are enrolled in the 2014ARC-CO farm program would earn a2014 ARC-CO payment.

The revenue guarantee for a givencrop is the benchmark revenue times86 percent (0.86). The BM revenue isthe five-year (2009-13) county averageyield (dropping the high and low yield)times the BM price, which is the five-

year (2009-13) average MYA price(again dropping the high and lowprice). The 2014 national BM priceswere $5.29 per bushel for corn and$12.27 per bushel for soybeans, whichwill also likely be the BM prices for the2015 crop year. Since these corn andsoybean BM prices were considerablyhigher than the final 2014 MYA prices,it increases the likelihood of 2014 ARC-CO payments in many counties. Pleaserefer to Tables A and B for the annual

MYA prices, and the calculations forBM MYA prices for corn and soybeans.

The relationship between the 2014NASS county yields and the 2014county BM yields is extremely impor-tant in calculating potential 2014ARC-CO payments for corn and soy-beans in a given county. Expressingthe 2014 NASS county yield as a “per-cent of BM yield” is more important

THIESSE, from pg. 19Athan the final county yield in determining esti-mated ARC-CO payments. If the 2014 NASS countyyield, expressed as a “percent of BM yield,” is below100 percent, there will likely be a 2014 ARC-COpayment for corn and soybeans. However, as the2014 “percent of BM yield” increases above 100 per-cent, the 2014 ARC-CO payment for corn or soy-

beans is reduced, and if that percent-age is high enough, there would be no2014 ARC-CO payment. Please referto Tables C and D for likely estimates of 2014 ARC-CO payments for corn and soybeans.Observations on the likely 2014 ARC-CO pay-ments for corn and soybeans:

• Corn — Any county that has a “percent of BM

yield” of 105 percent or less willlikely realize the maximum (100 per-

cent) estimated 2014 ARC-CO pay-ment for that county.

• Corn — Counties with a “percent of BM Yield” of106-110 percent will likely see an estimated ARC-COpayment that is 50 percent to 100 percent of themaximum ARC-CO payment.

• Corn — Counties with a “percent of BM Yield” of111-115 percent will likely see a partial ARC-COpayment, depending on the final MYA price.

• Corn — Counties with a “percent of BM Yield”above 120 percent will likely see either a very smallARC-CO payment, or possibly no 2014 ARC-CO pay-ment.

THIESSE, from pg. 20ABM yield” of 94 percent or less willlikely see the maximum 2014 ARC-COpayment, or a very high percent of themaximum.

• Soybeans — Counties with a “per-

cent of BM yield” of 94-100 percent willlikely see an estimated ARC-CO pay-ment between 35-90 percent of themaximum payment.

• Soybeans — Counties with a “per-cent of BM yield” above 102 percent will

likely see no 2014 ARC-CO payment.

There can be a signifi-cant difference in the estimated 2014ARC-CO payments from county tocounty, depending on the 2014 countyNASS yield, expressed as a “percent ofBM yield.” The estimated 2014 ARC-CO payment for corn in most southernMinnesota and northern Iowa countieswill be at the maximum level, whichranges from $70-$80 per corn baseacre, with slightly lower payment ratesin central and northern Minnesota. TheARC-CO estimates for corn will likelybe different in states such as Illinoisand Indiana that had much highercounty NASS corn yields in 2014, andprobably had a much higher 2014 “per-cent of BM yield.” Approximately 99percent of the corn base acres in Min-nesota, and 97 percent in Iowa, are

enrolled in the ARC-CO program.The estimated 2014

ARC-CO payments for soybeans inMinnesota and northern Iowa is sig-nificantly different than corn, and willbe totally dependent on the 2014 “per-cent of BM yield” for a given county.The estimated 2014 ARC-CO pay-ments for soybeans in southern Min-nesota and northern Iowa are likely torange from zero to just over $50 persoybean base acre. About half of thecounties in that region would geteither a partial or maximum payment,depending on the 2014 county yield,expressed as a “percent of BM yield,”compared to the five-year county aver-age benchmark yield.

THIESSE, from pg. 21Anesota and Iowa are enrolled in theARC-CO program.

There can be a wide variation in 2014 ARC-COpayments from county-to-county, even in neighboringcounties. For example, Blue Earth County in southcentral Minnesota is likely to receive the maximum2014 ARC-CO payment for soybeans, due to having a2014 “percent of BM Yield” of only 93 percent. How-ever, neighboring Watonwan County had a 2014 “per-cent of BM yield” of 110 percent, and producers willreceive no 2014 ARC-CO payments for soybeans.Understanding the “per-cent of BM yield,” andwhy there is such a widevariation in 2014 ARC-CO payments fromcounty-to-county, can bevery difficult for produc-ers to understand.

Farm operators shouldbe aware that the 2014ARC-CO payments willlikely be subject tomandatory sequestrationreductions by the Federalgovernment. Sequestra-tion is the reduction ofannual spending for mostfederal programs, includ-ing U.S. Department ofAgriculture farm pro-

grams, which was part of the 2011legislation passed by Congress

intended to reduce the Federal budgetdeficit. It is expected that USDA will be required toreduce 2014 farm program payments by approxi-mately seven percent.Available resources

Mississippi River overlook, Houston County, Minn.

Just south of Brownsville, in Houston County, agroup of about 20 tundra swans is flying westfrom the east shore of the Mississippi River.

They are 200 feet above the water and show noapparent interest in landing. But suddenly they settheir six-foot wing span and the sun glints off theirbrilliant white feathers. They fall, seemingly, out ofthe blue sky onto the cold waters of the areas vastriver bottom wetlands. The small flock of birds isgreeted by the voices of 10,000 other swans alreadyresting here before heading east to Chesapeake Bay.

At its peak, in early to mid-November, this placemay be the resting spot for 50,000 swans, singing,gabbling and socializing while they rest up fromtheir Arctic to Atlantic migration.

Along with the swans are pintail, mallard and can-vasback ducks by the hundreds or even thousands.

There are also a plenitude of American coots andplayful bald eagles on their own migratory path.Above the swans a group of three of these eagles,two mature and one not, dive and chase each other,screeching and screaming.

At the river’s overlook, just off of Highway 26,there is a small, quiet, weekend carnival in process.It’s the annual Waterfowl Observation Day andmembers of the Friends of the Upper Mississippi arepassing out hot coffee to ward off the chill.

They’ve also got complimentary apples fromnearby Hickory Orchard and literature on the river.Near the edge of the overlook people using binocu-lars or powerful spotting scopes get a close-up ofswan and duck doings.

“Would you like to take a look?” asks a friendly fel-low who has driven from Duluth to see the spectacle.

People stand about quietly chatting with eachother and sipping their hot drinks. Among themthere are uniformed naturalists ready to answerquestions.

“Where do tundra swans sleep?”“During breeding season they usually sleep on

land but during the winter they sleep on the water.”“Why are some swans gray and others white?”“The gray swans are young and immature.”Most waterfowl follow north-south flyways on

their migrations. Tundra swans fly a diagonal route,Southeast by northeast, from the Alaskan andCanadian arctic to Chesapeake Bay and south to theGeorgia Islands. The high musical hooting of swansin late October and early November is a sign to usMinnesotans that winter is nearby. ❖

A longtime board member of the Iowa PorkProducers Association, Dave Struthers ofCollins, Iowa, was elected as the group’sleader earlier this year. Global trade is amongthe many issues he deals with as IPPA presi-dent, and while it was a struggle to get theTrade Promotion Authority passed, he said itwas a first step in moving forward on gettingthe Trans-Pacific Partnership deal in place.

“Some of the bigger concerns we had with Japan andtheir gate price system are being dealt with. Get thoseissues resolved and that would be one of the biggestbenefits to U.S. pork producers,” said Struthers.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership mattersbecause Japan is the No. 1 buyer of U.S. porkproducts.

So why the struggles with TPA? Strutherssaid many people simply didn’t trust Presi-dent Barack Obama.

“They would comment, ‘I’m for trade butnot with this President,’” he said. “Finally wegot it passed but now the challenge is getting

the various members of the Trans-Pacific Partner-ship to comply with rules and regulations.”

Struthers noted some issues with Canada, particu-larly relating to their dairy industry which functionswith a strict quota system for each producer.

“But to compete globally they will have to give upsome of their protective issues for their own produc-ers. Our dairy industry has concerns,” he said. “WithJapan, we have some issues on the pork side withthe way they tariff our imports into their country.”

Even though agriculture is a small part of Japan’stotal economy, it has a strong voice in government.

“Their livestock segment in particular is very con-cerned about their competitive position againstproduct coming in from the United States and otherforeign countries,” said Struthers.

He said countries that can produce the best prod-uct at the lowest cost should be doing the trade.

STRUTHERS, from pg. 1B“We all do what we’re best at and that’s what

partnerships are all about,” he said.Issues such as environmental rules and labor

laws cloud the efforts.“We all live on the same planet so we all need to do

a good job taking care of that planet,” said Struthers.“Yet if one country makes the product cheaperbecause they are cutting corners environmentally,that’s not fair to those who are following all the rules.”Pork producer

A third generation pork producer, Struthers’ grand-father moved from Kansas to Iowa in the 1930s, rais-ing both hogs and cattle in central Iowa. His fathercontinued the tradition and also was elected to theIowa Pork Producers Board of Directors.

“I’ve picked up from my father,” he said. “I don’tknow what the next generation will bring. I’ve gotthree kids. They know pigs but at this stage I don’tknow if they’ll want to do pigs. There are nieces andnephews so someone in the Struthers lineup willcontinue in hogs.”

Struthers is an independent, 300-sow farrow-to-finish operation. He is one of a declining number ofindependent producers; the bulk of Iowa hogs arecontract finishing operations on concrete tied inwith farrow-to-wean producers supplying the pigs.

Outdoor housing with concrete aprons and beddedsleeping quarters is his strategy. He pen breeds ingroups and finishes the bulk of his pigs in hoop barns.

He farrows in confinement so he needs females withgood structural durability and enough back fat to sus-tain themselves in colder weather. That means aHamp-Duroc-Large White crossing program. He usedto be 100 percent artificial insemination, but when hedownsized to 300 sows he transitioned to pen breeding.

Pork producers often have to face people whoprotest against the methods used to raise pigs.

“There are always people who think differentlyabout production methods, primarily because theyhave never done it,” Struthers said. “In my 30 yearsof swine production I’ve pretty much done every-thing including pasture farrowing plus hogs on dirt,hogs on concrete in open lots, in hoop structures,early weaning of 18-day old pigs, the hot nurseryconcept, even hogs on nine different farms.

“We used to run 1,000 sows and had six employees.So I’ve lived that gamut, too. I learned handling hogsis easier than handling people so our current systemworks best for us.

“There’s no right or wrong system in pork produc-tion. Inevitably it comes down to the people andtheir skills regardless whether you are a dirt-floorbarn producer or a state-of-the-art computerizeddeep pit facility.”

Struthers’ system is working well. He has sowsthat stay in the herd for five years.

“I don’t wean early,” he said. “I wean at about 30days so those extra days with the piglets nursingmeans I don’t get sows rebred as quickly and thatperhaps accounts for the longevity in my sow herd.”

There’s good logic to his system. Because he weans anolder pig, he spends less on starter feeds and has greatersurvivability post-weaning. That hoop barn grows hispigs from March to November after which his pigs moveinto slatted, power-ventilated barns during the winter.

“Because my buildings are older there’s no depreci-ation value left and minimal taxes and upkeep. Soletting these buildings sit empty during the summeris little cost to the business,” Struthers said.

When it comes to antibiotics, he supports usingantibiotics on sick pigs.

“USDA inspects all the food that we eat,” he said.“There can’t be any residues, including antibioticresidue on any of our meat. So to say that we are eat-ing antibiotics when we are eating meat is simplyerroneous.”

Struthers explained that if residues are found,those items are pulled off the line and disposed of,and the producer who supplied that meat is notifiedand inspected.

“To go antibiotic-free sounds good in many scenar-ios,” he said, “but think about that. How many of usare antibiotic-free? How many of us have gotten sickand taken antibiotics to get well?

“I’m a firm believer that preventative health meas-ures are better than curative measures. If we keepour animals healthy with good diets and clean envi-ronments we can minimize our use of antibiotics. Idon’t believe total elimination is best for that pig orthat consumer.”Iowa grown

Iowa pork producers lead the nation in pork pro-duction with nearly 40 percent of the U.S. produc-tion. Years back North Carolina was No. 2, but Min-nesota now claims that ranking. Struthers sees Iowacontinuing to grow its total production.

“We have the infrastructure; we have the know-how; we have the feed and we have tremendous cropproduction nurtured by the tremendous amounts ofhog manure that recharges our soils each year,” hesaid. “We still have plenty of land mass in Iowa thatcan use the organic nutrients produced by hogs.”

The Iowa pork checkoff is 40 cents per hundred-weight.

If you raise livestock and you plan to make aninvestment or improvement to your operation, thenyou can apply for a Livestock Investment Grant fromthe Minnesota Department of Agriculture.

Minnesota livestock producers are eligible to bereimbursed 10 percent of a project’s cost with a min-imum expense of $4,000 and a maximum expense of$500,000. The maximum available per year is$25,000. In effect, you are eligible for a 10 percentreimbursement of projects costing $4,000 to$250,000. The lifetime cap for the grant is $50,000.

For 2016, the Minnesota Legislature has appropri-ated $2 million. The deadline is Dec. 18.

The grants are available for the purchase, construc-tion or improvement of buildings or facilities for the pro-duction of livestock, and the purchase of fencing, feedingand waste management equipment. Producers whohave suffered a loss due to natural disasters or unin-tended consequences may also apply. Expenses must beincurred between Aug. 1, 2015, and June 30, 2017.

The grant will not pay for livestock or land purchasesor for the cost of debt refinancing.

Minnesota livestock farmers must be in goodstanding with the state, a current resident or entityauthorized to farm in Minnesota, and principal oper-ator of the farm.

Here’s how it works. David Weinand is MDAgrants coordinator. As an example, Weinand used anew ventilation system in a finishing barn that willcost an estimated $50,000. If the grant is approved,MDA will set aside $5,000. When the project is com-pleted, the producer will need to provide the MDAwith invoices and proof of payment.

“It definitely is worth it. It’s the easiest moneythey’ll earn in the shortest amount of time invested,”

said Weinand.Producers tend to be good record keepers so provid-

ing proof of payment is not difficult. If the $50,000project comes in at $60,000, the grant still stands at$5,000, noted Weinand.Application

The application is online. It’s relatively short, withboxes to check, an explanation of the project and expectedexpenses. Grants are awarded on a competitive basis anddepend on the number of applications received.

Weinand’s biggest tip is to look at the last page ofthe application where you can see how the grantswill be evaluated.

Projects that have the potential to receive more pointsare those that help facilitate generational transition,help new operations, aid farmers with less years infarming, or clearly benefit the environment.

“The most important information I can offer is tomake sure your answers are crystal clear,” saidWeinand.

He explained that ‘crystal clear’ answers increasethe likelihood of scoring higher and being funded.

If someone has a project they are considering,chances are an application of a past-funded projectis available. Projects have varied — new lighting,ventilation, manure pits, manure spreader, balerand more.

“If somebody has a project, odds are I could findan application that we have funded in the last fewyears that would be exactly the same,” saidWeinand.

You can call Weinand to request a previously-funded application, which is public record.

The grant can be used in combination with grantsfrom other sources, but not in conjunction withanother state program.

“State dollars cannot match state dollars,” saidWeinand.

Weinand also works with grant recipients whenthey turn in invoices and proof of payment.

“If I can tell that something’s not going to passinspection of auditors, I will contact them and getmore information so that it flies through withoutany challenges,” said Weinand.

The Livestock Investment Grant was first fundedby the Minnesota Legislature in 2008. Since then,468 livestock producers have invested an estimated$150 million in improvement to their operations. ❖

ROCK RAPIDS, Iowa — MartiKnoblock follows his dad’s advice: theway you show you are thankful forsomething is by taking care of it.

“How I take care of my pigs is how Ishow I’m thankful for the pigs,” theRock Rapids farmer said. “If we don’ttake care of the pigs, the pigs won’ttake care of us. And I wouldn’t make aliving raising pigs.”

Knoblock extends the same grati-tude to consumers. To show he caresfor consumers, he raises a safe, afford-able product.

Every day on his farm, he lives outthe We Care Initiative of theNational Pork Board and NationalPork Producers Council. Like manyAmerican pork producers, Knoblock iscommitted to food safety, responsibleantibiotic use, animal care, environ-mental stewardship and community.

Knoblock farms with his brothers,Mitch Knoblock and Morris Metzgerin GMC Farms, established in 1980.GMC Farms markets about 23,000pigs per year.

Parents Glen and Joyce Metzger arestill active in the farm. Glen Metzger

is the only dad Knoblock has known;his father was killed in a tractor acci-dent when he was eight months old.Knoblock is married to Martha andtogether they have six children ages 5to 16.

While their farm may be big, it’s still

a family farm where his children workwith their grandpa and uncles.

Knoblock and his brothers divide upthe work on their 1,800-acre corn andsoybean farm. Knoblock takes care ofthe pigs while his brother Morris takescare of the equipment and the crops.His brother Mitch works withemployee Dudley Knobloch in the fin-ishing barn. Mitch also handles the200-head cow-calf operation.

“We all help each other on any givenday or time,” he said.

Knoblock watches over the nursery,where every six weeks they receive2,800 piglets at 19 days old, weighing12-13 pounds. They purchase the babypigs from a sow farm in South Dakota.He gets the pigs up to 35-40 poundsbefore they move them into the finish-ing barn.

GMC Farms owns its own semis tomove pigs from the nursery to finish-ing barn to the JBS plant in Worthing-ton, Minn. They all have their Trans-port Quality Assurance certification.

“Part of what I really appreciateabout pig farming and farming in gen-eral is being able to work with my fam-ily and being able to raise pigs that area safe, consistent product for con-sumers and it’s affordable,” saidKnoblock. “It’s a good feeling.”Sustainability

GMC Farms raise their own feed.Their corn and soybeans go back to thelivestock, mostly the pigs.

“All the soybeans that we raise, westore on the farm here and then every

week we take our soybeans into Lester,Iowa,” said Knoblock.

Lester Feed and Grain has a soybeanprocessing plant.

“For us, it’s a way to market our soy-beans through the pigs,” saidKnoblock. “We feel it’s a superior soy-bean meal product. Most of the big soy-bean mill processing plants, they usechemicals where we use a physicalpress method. It’s easier to utilize bythe pig because it’s been heated up. Wefeel like we get good growth out ofthat. It’s local so we’re helping out ourown community by supporting the pro-cessing plant local here.”

GMC Farms also has its own feedmill. They chop about 50 acres of silagefor the cows each year. The rest of theircorn crop is dry corn for the pigs. Intheir feed mill, they produce a totalfeed ration that includes soymeal, cornand dried distillers grains — produc-ing about 7,000 tons of feed for theirpigs annually.

Then the manure from their pigs isinjected five to six inches under thesoil and the nutrients are used for nextyear’s corn crop. They also have beenpracticing strip tillage for the past fouryears.

“We have become more efficient. Weuse less natural resources and lessfeed than my dad did,” said Knoblock.Nursery

The Knoblock children help out withchores in the nursery. DaughterKaryAnn, 14, has started to vaccinatethe pigs two to three weeks afterarrival. Son Riley, 16, does chores andhe’s a big help on summer load outdays.

Rowyn, 5, will put his foot on thegate and the baby pig will nibble onhim and then run away if he makes anoise.

“That baby pig experience is prettyneat,” said Knoblock.

As the pigs grow, they try to keep thepenmates together from the nursery tothe finishing barn. In the nursery,there are 100 pigs to a pen. Pigs like tocuddle up with their buddies, saidKnoblock.

The kids also help with feeding, with

Knoblock thankful to make living raising pigs

KNOBLOCK, from pg. 4BDad checking the work of the younger ones. Onechore is to throw feed on a mat in each pen in thenursery two to three times a day. While the pigs usean automated feed system, a little extra gets themoff to a good start. Once a day, they clean their water.

“They also help if there are pigs falling behind thatwe need to treat. They will help me identify andcatch those pigs,” said Knoblock.

GMC Farms is Pork Quality Assurance Plus certi-fied. As a finalist for this award, GMC Farms com-pleted the Common Swine Industry Audit andscored very well.

“It reaffirms that we take care of our animals, wehave proper record keeping in place and we keep ourbuilding up,” said Knoblock. “It confirms what we doeveryday.”

For instance, after the baby pigs are moved to thefinishing barn they power wash the nursery and dis-infect it. With a leaf blower, they blow everything dryand turn the heat up. That happens every six weeks.

“It’s rewarding to get the baby pig in at 19 days oldand get them into a clean environment. It’s fun to seethem mingle with their penmates,” he said. “Onething that people are amazed by when they comeinto our facilities is how clean the pigs are.”Animal care

On the web, consumers see images of pigs beingpacked into barns and pumped with antibiotics.

That’s not the case, said Knoblock who is sharinghis story to let consumers know how pigs are raisedon his family farm. For one, GMC Farms follows vet-erinary-recommended spacing and does not crowdtheir pigs.

“Pigs won’t be as healthy and won’t grow as good,”said Knoblock. “We do what’s best for the pigs.”

As for antibiotic use, GMC Farms strives to keeptheir pigs healthy.

“We practice very strict biosecurity. We have to useless antibiotics because of good biosecurity. We vacci-nate our pigs. We try to be proactive instead of reac-tive,” he said.

GMC Farms buys its water from the rural watersystem and the water that the pigs drink is the samewater the family drinks.Lifestyle

His wife, Martha, grew up near Salem, Ore., andwas raised far away from a livestock farm in Iowa.Yet, she appreciates the lifestyle and values of theirfamily farm, said Knoblock.

“You wave at everybody. You know who your neigh-bor is. When someone comes on hard times, you helpout,” said Knoblock.

The Knoblocks went through trying times in 2011when their son, Kendon, now 11, had a successfulheart transplant. They stayed in Rochester for threemonths. The community and their church showedtheir support.

“My brothers pitched in. I’m thankful for the family,”said Knoblock, who had a farm and job to return to.

Today, Kendon comes into the nursery and enjoys

working with the baby pigs, wearing gloves and adust mask as a precaution.

Knoblock sees a tight bond in his children thatcomes from working and living on a family farm. Thekids are involved in 4-H and FFA and show both pigs

and cattle.“Even if they choose not to farm, the lifestyle,

work ethic, the honesty — that’s irreplaceable nomatter what they decide to do in life,” saidKnoblock. ❖

EASTON, Minn. — Lori and DaleStevermer live on Dale’s family farm,Trails End Farm, a 150-sow farrow-to-finish operation in Easton. They are lit-tle, but in Minnesota they benefit fromuniversity research, state organizations,feed companies and packing plants.

“It’s not ‘big is bad’ or ‘little is good.’As a small farm we feel fortunate thatthere are large farms around us tohelp us have the thriving industrythat we do,” said Lori.

A niche producer, the Stevermersmarket 2,000 to 2,500 pigs a year toCompart Duroc Premium Pork ofNicollet, Minn.

“It started with a personal relation-ship,” said Dale.

Compart Duroc is a branded pre-mium pork that is sold to “whitetable” restaurants, barbecue teams,Twin Cities grocers, and online. Oneof Compart’s requirements is that thepigs are fed Hubbard Feeds, whichwas a natural fit for the Stevermers.Lori is a marketing specialist workingwith the swine nutrition group forHubbard Feeds in Mankato, Minn.

“It’s been a nice complement to

farming. I get a chance to see both sidesof the fence. I can take what I learnedat Hubbard and bring it back home. Ican take what I learn at home andbring it back to Hubbard,” said Lori.

Dale operates the farm and managesthe herd, keeping some back forreplacement breeding stock. The work

is physically challenging — moving500-pound animals in the directionyou want them to go.

“I do the whole shooting match andit’s a lot of work,” said Dale.

He also grows 450 acres splitbetween corn and soybeans.

“That’s what makes southern Min-nesota so great for raising pigs. Wehave all these inputs right near youthat you grow a lot of, you sell the pigsto the packers nearby, and you put themanure in the ground to be used forthe crops,” said Lori. “It’s really a sus-tainable model and cycle.”Advocacy and promotion

Lori is president of the MinnesotaPork Producers Association. On this vol-unteer board, she works in advocacy,public policy and legislative issues. Shetravels to Washington, D.C., to meetwith elected officials.

In the last five years, the Stevermershave participated in many consumerevents including Minnesota PorkBoard “Oink Outings” which give con-sumers a chance to ask questionsabout where their food comes from.

Lori starts by finding their shared val-ues, which allows them to talk throughmisconceptions about how pigs areraised — what they feed them, how theycare for them, when they use antibiotics.

One shared value is that the Stever-mers have three children.

“We care about what our kids, eat,drink, the environment that they arein,” said Lori. “Just because we live ona farm doesn’t mean we’re differentfrom them.

“When you talk about how you carefor animals and how hard it is to seeanimals not doing well and then whatdo you do and how do you take care ofthem. That strikes at the heart ofeverybody and once again brings thatcommonality together.”

Recently, the Stevermers haveanswered questions at events in Excel-sior, Edina and White Bear Lake.Questions range from what pigs eat tohousing and antibiotic use. Sometimesthe questions are asked aggressively.Dale and Lori have learned not to bedefensive and to speak in a languagethat consumers can understand.

“We really feel good when we canhave that question by somebody andimpact the way they think or changethat perception,” said Lori.

Some consumers think corporatefarms are bad, but Lori explains thatcorporations are often just a businessstructure.

“Because it’s corporate doesn’t meanthere aren’t a bunch of family facesbehind it,” said Lori.

Their sons, Brett, 21, and Adam, 18,attend the University of Minnesota inthe Twin Cities. Their daughter, Beth,is 15. Adam is runner-up MinnesotaPork Ambassador and Region 7 FFAvice president. They have beeninvolved in pork promotion, operatedtheir own livestock operation andshowed pigs for 4-H and FFA.

“They care about them (pigs) and theylearn how to care for them. It’s not a petto them,” Lori said. “This is what we do.

Dale and Lori Stevermer run Trails End Farm, a 150-sow farrow-to-finish operation in Easton, Minn.

STEVERMER, from pg. 6BWe raise animals that are food for other people.”

The Stevermers also eat the pork they produce.Dale likes to bring an average pig to the local butcher.

“It helps me keep tabs on what I am producingmyself, so I can continue to keep the quality high oneverything,” said Dale.Farrow-to-finish

Since 1997, Dale has used large-pen gestation withelectronic sow feeding stations. In each pen, there isone station that the sows enter and the machine readstheir RFID tag, which allows the sows to eat a fulldaily allotment in one feeding or multiple feedings.

“It’s gradual and we time it so the sow is able to eatthe amount of food in front of her,” said Dale.

On average, sows are pregnant for 114 days. AtTrails End, the sows come into labor on their ownand once a month, about 25 sows have a litter of 12pigs on average. Each pig weighs 3-3.5 pounds whenborn. In the first 21 days, the sow produces enoughmilk to get those pigs up to 13-14 pounds. The babypigs head to a nursery until they are in the 40-poundrange, then on to the finishing barn until they reacha market weight of roughly 270 pounds.

While some consumers think gestation stalls areabusive, it is quite the opposite. It is an animal wel-fare practice at Trails End Farm. Dale uses gestationstalls for breeding and early gestation especially forgilts, young swine that have not yet farrowed. Usingboth stalls and open pens works well.

“I’ve had the opportunity to manage pigs in justabout any situation, from some pasture work to 100percent confinement. I really feel this is the best wayto raise pigs,” Dale said.

Gestation stalls also are used for sows who lose anRFID tag so Dale can give the sow extra feed andattention and retag her. The stalls are even moreimportant during post weaning.

“If we move them right into the pen they are undergo-ing tremendous hormonal changes and stress.The otheranimals in the pen are not and they will be very roughon them,” said Dale. “For welfare reasons, I need to keepthe sows penned individually just to protect them.”

When the sows are nursing their young, Dale keepsthe sow and litter in their own pen and uses farrow-ing crates to protect the babies.

Dale provides micro-environments in the farrowinghouse. He keeps the room at 65-68 F for the sow’sbenefit. The baby pigs have a creep area heated to 90-95 F so they are not using extra energy to stay warm.

“They are able to grow and stay healthy,” Dale said.“Any extra stresses on them at that young age willtend to cause sickness.”

With the Veterinary Feed Directive effective Janu-ary 2017, antibiotics that are also used in humanswill require a prescription and antibiotics will not beused for growth promotion. In her role at HubbardFeeds, Lori helps educate customers on the VFD.

“We are using antibiotics even more responsiblyand with more veterinary oversight,” said Lori.

Many consumers also don’t realize that antibioticshave a withdrawal time so the antibiotics are out ofthe pig’s system before it goes to market, Lori noted.Stewards

At Trails End, a full year of manure is stored in pitsengineered to keep the manure in and hold soil andwater out. Each fall, the manure is injected into groundthat will be planted with corn the following year. Thesoil and manure are tested and nutrients are balanced.Better technology makes them better stewards.

“I am willing to drive a couple miles with mymanure tank because I’m getting it to where cropsneed it a little more, and I try to build the soil withthe organic matter that’s in the manure and also theother nutrients,” said Dale.

Dale tried out cover crops this year. He used a mixthat included cereal rye and tillage radish. The covercrop helps control soil erosion, works on compaction,and ties up the nitrogen, making it more stable fornext year’s crop.

“I see some real potential for it. I need some bootson the ground for me to see it on my own ground thatI know quite well,” said Dale.

Dale also practices reduced tillage, as do many ofhis neighbors.

“As long as I keep growing a good crop I’ll do lessand less,” said Dale. ❖

The Nuhn Lagoon Crawler is an amphibious vehicle designed for agitating lagoons.

The wheels are able to drop down, giving the vehicle roughly 5 feet of ground clearance. The unit then drives itself into a lagoon,

where it turns into an agitation boat.

When in the lagoon, the Lagoon Crawler is powered by a quad port, Nuhn Header Series manure pump. 10000+GPM volumes are used to maneuver

the pontoon through the lagoon and agitate the solids from the bottom. The Nuhn Lagoon Crawler does not need a priming system.

Once the lagoon is emptied, the four wheels are lowered and the machine is able to drive itself out of the lagoon.

This column was written for themarketing week ending Oct. 2.

The Federal order process slowlycrept along this week in Californiawhere testimony was presented onProposal No. 1, according to the Milk

Producers Council’s Rob Vandenheuvelin Friday’s DairyLine.

Vandenheuvel also discussed a USDAstudy of the impact of a Federal Orderin California that suggests milk pricesthere could increase $1 per hundred-

weight. Concern has beenexpressed that that increasewould encourage more milkproduction there, resultingin more cheese and, in turnlower milk prices every-where else.

He took issue with thepremise, arguing, “An eco-nomic model doesn’t thinkbut it responds to the infor-mation you put into it.”While he admits historyshows that increased milkprices result in increased milk produc-tion in any area of the country, “that’swhat the model assumes,” but he dis-agrees.

He cited long-term issues in Califor-nia that will affect expansion orgrowth, including competition for landwith nondairy agriculture like almondsand pistachios, and environmental reg-ulations that “stifle future expansion.”These factors lead him to believe thatthere will not be the predicted four orfive percent increases, “regardless ofwhat California dairies are paid.”

Secondly, Vandenheuvel argues; “Ifthe study is taken to its illogical con-clusion, the best thing to happen to therest of the U.S. dairy industry is for allCalifornia dairies go broke and shutdown. That’s not the purpose of thisUSDA Federal order process, it’s notthe purpose of dairy regulations, to killone state for the benefit of others or tobenefit one state to the detriment ofothers,” he concluded. “This is aboutputting California on an even playingfield, not above, not below, but an evenplaying field with the rest of the coun-try and what happens from there onout, no model can predict.”

From our “Catching Up Folder,” dairyis still part of the hang-up to concludingthe Trans-Pacific Partnership tradetalks going on this week in Atlanta.CNBC reported that “Pacific trade min-isters readied on Wednesday to closethe biggest trade deal in a generationbut warned there was still work to be

done on issues ranging fromintellectual property to tradein dairy and automobiles.”

Last week, CBC Newsreported that “Canada ispreparing to open its borderto more American milk, with-out getting reciprocal accessfor Canadian dairy farmers inthe United States.” TradeMinister Ed Fast wasreported to “leave the cam-paign trail to join his counter-parts in Atlanta on Wednes-

day, intent on concluding the talks.”The Dairy Farmers of Canada’s Yves

Leduc warned of war, if that’s the caseand that “The industry will neveraccept that.” Visit http://goo.gl/EqIhZGto read more.

Meanwhile, another Dairy Farmers ofCanada official discounted the U.S.access reports. Isabelle Bouchard,director of communications, said therumors were “unfounded.”

“The deal is still being negotiated,”Bouchard said. “The 10 percent is theask of the United States and that, so far,the Canadian government has notagreed to.

“New Zealand and Australia havealso asked for access and that’s anotherreason the U.S. deal seems unlikely,”she said.

She adds that the negotiations wouldhave to be followed by a ministerialmeeting for a deal to be signed. Readmore details at: http://goo.gl/vYY5EZ

The loud crash you heard this weekwas the Chicago Mercantile Exchangebutter price which ended four weeks ofbig gains. Just as it rocketed $1.1450higher in August to a record high$3.1350 per pound last week, it quicklyreversed gears this week. But wait, theroller coaster headed back up Oct. 1and then dropped Oct. 2, closing at$2.50 per pound, down 63.5 cents onthe week and 39.5 cents below a year

ago when it plunged 15.5 cents, fromwhat was then a record high. The 30-cent crash on Sept. 29 was the largest,single-day spot decline since March 26,2004 but the volatility, or whatever you

call it, is reportedly sending traders totheir chiropractors with neck injuriesfrom quick head movements. Twenty-seven cars traded hands this week.

MIELKE, from pg. 9BThe Sept. 30 Daily Dairy Report suggests tight-

ness of salted, bulk butter may have been behindthe volatility. Dairy Market News reports that bulkbutter demand is making a comeback as buyers wit-ness lower prices but butter producers are hesitantto build inventories much beyond booked sales.

Central manufacturers report cream is availablewith some Western cream clearing into the Centralregion to meet demand. The increased availability ofcream is also a result of Central ice cream produc-ers slowing production.

Cash block cheese reversed the previous week’s10.25 cent plunge, closing Oct. 2 at $1.7475 perpound, up 15.75 cents on the week but 40.25 centsbelow a year ago. The barrels started the week witha loss but gained it back and then some, finishing at$1.6175, up 6.75 cents on the week, 55.25 centsbelow a year ago, and an unsustainable 13 centsbelow the blocks. Twenty-three cars of barrel tradedhands on the week. The gains in block all came onunfilled bids.

Most Midwest cheesemakers are producing cheese

using regular milk supplies, with little evident inter-est in securing extra milk, says Dairy Market News.Regular milk supplies range from mostly even withlast week, to slightly lower. Cheesemakers lookingfor extra milk saw offers 50 cents to $1.00 overClass, which in many cases is more than they wantto pay. Some are fortifying vats with nonfat dry milk.

Barrel cheese manufacturers fielded multiple callsthis week from buyers. With production mostlygeared toward regular milk supplies, some prospec-tive customers for barrels may have to keep checkingaround. Manufacturers are better situated to accom-modate block buyer interest, relying on current out-put and inventories. There is some additional cur-rent buyer interest geared toward having cheeseready to go into the pipeline and ultimately to retailstores for end of year holiday demand. Mozzarellademand continues to be strong for frozen pizzas andfood service sales, according to Dairy Market News.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk topped $1 per poundfor the first time since March 10 closing Friday at$1.06 per pound, up 12 cents on the week but 33.5cents below a year ago. Fifteen cars found new

homes this week at the CME.Lower feed costs and a higher All Milk price

nudged the August milk feed price ratio to 2.11, upfrom 2.01 in July, up from 2.06 in June, but downfrom 2.63 in August 2014, according to the USDA’slatest Ag Prices report.

The index is based on the current milk price inrelationship to feed prices for a ration of 51 percentcorn, eight percent soybeans and 41 percent alfalfahay. One pound of milk today purchases 2.11 poundsof dairy feed containing that blend.

The August U.S. average All-Milk price was$16.70/cwt., up 10 cents from July but $7.50 belowAugust 2014.

August corn, at $3.68 per bushel, was down 12cents from July but five cents a bushel higher thanAugust 2014. Soybeans averaged $9.71 per bushel,down 24 cents from July, and $2.69 per bushel belowAugust 2014. Alfalfa hay averaged $159 per ton,down $10 from July, and $48 per ton below August2014.

MIELKE, from pg. 10Bcull price for beef and dairy combined averaged$110.00/cwt., down $3 from July, $11 below August2014, and compares to the 2011 base average of$71.60/cwt.

Based on data from the Ag Prices report, the dairyMargin Protection Program margin for the July-August period is $7.6951, 30 cents less than themaximum protection level of $8/cwt., according tothe Daily Dairy Report.

The Daily Dairy Report says the 261 producerswho selected the highest protection level will receivea payment after accounting for the 7.3 percent fed-eral sequestration deduction but adds, “Looking for-ward, higher milk components and lower feed pricesare expected to reduce the likelihood of a MPP pay-ment next period.”

The USDA’s latest National Milk Cost of Produc-tion report shows July total costs were up from Junebut still below July 2014.

Total feed costs averaged $12.46/cwt., up $1.11from May, up 80 cents from May, but still $1.34below July 2014. Purchased feed costs, at $6.98/cwt.,were up $1.10 from the revised May level, up $1.07from May, but 17 cents below July 2014.

Total costs, including feed, bedding, marketing,fuel, repairs, hired labor, taxes, etc., at $24.03/cwt.,were up $1.34 from June, $1.19 above May, but 72cents below a year ago. Feed costs made up 51.9 per-cent of total costs in July, compared to 50 percent themonth before and 55.8 percent a year ago. You’llrecall that preliminary data showed August milkproduction totaled 16.3 billion pounds, according toUSDA, up 0.8 percent compared to August 2014.USDA’s Dairy Products report shows where thatmilk went and didn’t.

Total cheese output hit 974.4 million pounds, down1.7 percent from July, up 3.5 percent from a year ago,and year-to-date production, hit 7.75 billion pounds,up 2.5 percent from a year ago. Italian cheese outputhit 409 million pounds, down 3.8 percent from July,up 2.2 percent from a year ago, with year-to-date at3.4 billion pounds, up 2.4 percent. Mozzarella, at322.7 million pounds, was up 1.2 percent from a yearago and year-to-date totaled 2.6 billion pounds, up1.2 percent.

American-type cheese production totaled 388.8 mil-lion pounds, down 0.9 percent from July, up 3.5 per-cent from a year ago, with year-to-date output at 3.1billion pounds, up 2.9 percent. Cheddar output inAugust amounted to 273.7 million pounds, up 3.1percent from a year ago; with year-to-date at 2.2 bil-lion, up 2.6 percent.
