With New Year’s Resolutions now safelytucked aside, perhaps it’s time for a bit ofdéjà vu. I’m writing this Dec. 28 with newfarm bill and fiscal cliff still hanging inlimbo. Regardless, I think we’ll be dealingin uncertainty forever in America. “Com-mon Sense” took a hike long ago. Now it’segos and power strokes that continue thisdownward spiral of government.

So what’s ahead? You be the judge. Evenwithout a farm bill I think America’sfarmers will still be okay. That so-called“protective belt” of Washington, D.C., isbecoming more illusionary to everyone.And with so many new faces both inD.C. (plus St. Paul and Des Moines),there certainly won’t be shirt tails carrying the nextlegislative requests from our “ag belt.”

The reality is that more politicians don’t knowbecause they don’t listen. And unfortunately a goodlynumber don’t care because it might jeopardize theirreelection efforts the next time around. Even AgChief Tom Vilsack is a bitpessimistic about ruralAmerica. “It’s becomingless and less relevant,” hesaid in a Dec. 10 speech ata forum sponsored by FarmJournal magazine. Vilsacksaid that rural America’sbiggest assets — food pro-duction, recreational areas,energy — are being over-looked as the U.S. popula-tion continues shifting tocities, suburbs and exurbs.Explaining why we don’thave a farm bill, Vilsack said the shrinking popula-tion of rural America is making agriculture andfarmers less important in the political mainstream ofAmerica.

I’m recalling an interview I had a year ago withJohn Baize, a veteran international traveler andrenowned spokesman for the American SoybeanAssociation. That day I asked him, “Is America wellon its way to becoming a socialistic society becausevoters keep voting for the source of their entitle-ments?”

Baize responded that America is on a troublingtrend. He reflected that lots of people are still hurt-ing financially. That means people are open to any-body who offers a lifeline. But the flip side is thatmillions of younger people who got fired up aboutCandidate Obama in 2008 are now disenchantedwith what they see.

What troubles Baize is that we’vebecome a country of two nations: thosewith wealth and those without. Heacknowledges that too much income dis-parity is a problem. But he pointed outlast January that 47 percent of our popu-lation now pays zero income tax. Appar-ently Candidate Romney overplayed thatbit of reality. Baize questions our U.S. taxpolicy. With the richer already paying ahuge portion of our total taxes why stickit to them even more, he wondered.

Just maybe Congressman Boehner ison the right track in his reluctance toincrease taxes on the super rich. Their

contributions to most major charitiesacross America are also huge, incidentally. Baizebluntly says America has been living beyond itsmeans a long time and now we’re pushing a $16 tril-lion national debt. We’ve already pushed up wagerates beyond our ability to compete in a global mar-ket. We have unemployment benefits extending out

to 99 weeks which obvi-ously has became a strongdisincentive to go lookingfor a job.

Baize has no answer forhow or when Americacomes out of this mess. It’snot a simple “spend less,tax more” solution. But hedid comment that unlesssome miracle happens, weare continually loweringthe standard of living inAmerica. And that shouldbe troubling the conscience

of everyone.The miracle is simply a rude awakening that

America is going broke. When incomes no longer aresustainable, then you have the possibility of riotsand total indifference to law and order. We’re seeingthose “break outs” in several European countriesalmost on a regular basis. And with 47 percent ofAmericans not paying income taxes, Baize observedthat it’s now the norm in America that the vote goesto whomever makes the bigger promises. That wasagain evident in the November 2012 election.

So is the glimmer lessening for America’s “GoldenAge of Agriculture” which started ramping up in2008? Last January Baize said very definitely. I’mcertain he’ll say much the same this January whenhe speaks at the Linder Marketing/Management ses-sions in a few weeks. He pointed out that although

LAND MINDS

By Dick Hagen

See LAND MINDS, pg. 3

Baize has no answer for how orwhen America comes out of thismess. ... But he did comment thatunless some miracle happens,we are continually lowering thestandard of living in America.And that should be troubling theconscience of everyone.

LAND MINDS, from pg. 2the United States is only 3percent of the world’s popula-tion, we’re subject to whatever happens elsewhere inthe world. And today lots of farmers in other coun-tries are gearing up their production to hopefullyalso enjoy better times. That means more competi-tion. He noted that U.S. agriculture is doing about$100 billion in profitsbut water, worldwidewater, may soonbecome the biggestissue. With risingworld populations,water demand is sky-rocketing. Alreadylack of water isbecoming a limitingfactor in food produc-tion in many parts ofthe world. We becamedangerously close across much of our “farm belt” thispast year. It could be worse for 2013.

Encouraging from Baize was his comment thatAmerican farmers will always be a major playerbecause of the continually rising world population.He says agriculture will always be the bedrockindustry but leaner times are likely. Last January hewas speculating that land prices will fall back. Cashrents will need to be adjusted. And just maybe U.S.agriculture can survive in a free market economy ifall nations play by the same rules. However fatchance with China, home of the world’s largest agri-culture, pretty much calling the shots.

At a November Agri-Growth conference, WellsFargo economist Michael Swanson shared a com-ment by economist John Keynes who said, “The mar-ket can stay stupid longer than you can stay sol-vent.” Swanson cautioned his audience that whileone could recognize an opportunity where the mar-ket is out of adjustment and bet against it, the mar-

ket can also do something even more stupid andblow out your investment. He cautioned thatwhen the market eventually corrects itself we

won’t be able to predict the cause, and that might bea panic situation for which you should prepare.

My closing comment: Be prepared, and a blessed2013 for you and your family.

OPINION

To the Editor:“What’s ahead for America?” by Staff Writer Dick

Hagen (“Land Minds,” Nov. 23 issue) was an out-standing opinion. It showed the impossible thinkingour country is doing. We will need to sharpen our witsif we are to survive our overwhelming government inour lives. We have to quit overspending and overtax-ing our people to survive and flourish. Middle-incomepeople will be paying a lot if we don’t wake up ontaxes and spending. Soaking the rich only happensonce and is not the answer. It is only class envy beingpromoted. It is also very destructive to destory so-called rich, as you don’t get a job from a poor person.Dolores McClernonTintah, Minn.

Letter: Peoplemust wake up ontaxes, spending

Already lack ofwater is becom-ing a limitingfactor in foodproduction inmany parts ofthe world.

Whenever you read this, beit in the fading embers of 2012or the new dawn of 2013,please know that I did notwrite it; you, the readers, did.

Yep, it’s that time of year(this year, last year, nextyear …) for you to have yoursay on what I’ve said and,brother, did you have some-thing to say. Like one thor-oughly unhappy customerwho couldn’t understandwhy one of my syndicate’snewspapers “continues topublish” me.

After all “… his column is nothingbut recycled ‘liberal’ pap using con-cocted numbers to justify his regalproclamations from his ‘pie in the sky’throne.”

After a couple of hundred words moreto expose me “as nothing more than amember of a biased journalistic com-munity,” the e-mailing reader con-cluded with this pleasant goodbye: “Its’(sic) not politically correct to name callso I will decline to call Alan a gasifiedwindbag!”

Thank goodness for restraint.Another reader was equally charmed

with a September column that won-

dered why the Wall StreetJournal slanted the facts oftwo of the year’s biggest sto-ries — the European debtcrisis and the then red-hotrace for the White House —away from its readers andtoward its editorial pages.

“You never cease to amazeme with your ineptness,”began this reader’s e-mail.“You think Fox News is notgiving you the straight-up

news but trust the main-stream media which isowned by Obama and the

Dems. The solid info is that Obama andhis buddies … are complete failures.”

Another fan commented on my WSJcolumn with an e-mail that startedwith “Your cheap shot at two of themost fair and balanced news sourceswas not appreciated but does reinforceyour standing as a left wing biaseddemagogue.”

The e-mail tumbled — hard to theright — downhill from there.

Several readers commented on a mid-July column that questioned Congress’increasing reliance on federally subsi-dized crop insurance as the nation’smain farm policy even though it nei-

ther insures crops nor ensures thenation’s food supply.

One correspondent, who with “myhusband and three children are familyfarmers and ranchers,” knows “thatcrop insurance is subsidized by the gov-ernment. However, it’s also true thatuntil recently the government workedextremely hard to keep crop price low.”

She concluded by suggesting the fam-ily will “gladly pay (our insurance)share as long as we can get back ourshare ...” and, “P.S. All three of my chil-dren ... were highly offended by yourcolumn, also.”

One Ontario e-mailer informed methat I had buried a venerable farm ser-vant that was yet very much alive.

“You mentioned in one article thatMix-Mill is ‘a long-ago brand for small,farm-based feed-making’ ... It still is.Mix-Mill remains a thriving and cus-tomer-focused brand ...” Sorry, Mix-Mill(http://atferrell.com/mix-mill).

Most comments, however, arrivedwith smiles and pleasantries like thisone from “Ruth” who confessed that “Ido not always understand the subjectof your column ... (b)ut this past Sun-day I could hardly believe my good for-tune at your glorious first sentence —‘massive red combine slumbering (in) a

freshly barbered wheat field.’”Or Vickie, who “was in DC all last

week” but upon arrival home, in Lin-coln, Neb., in mid-September, “decidedto see what I had missed in our Sun-day paper. Since I always read yourcolumn I turned to it” to read theaccount of the Washington, D.C., wed-ding of the lovely Catherine and mydaughter, Mary Grace, to AndrewFoxwell on Labor Day.

“How surprised I was ... because myson was not only Andrew’s roommatein D.C. but was the violin player attheir wedding. I have met your lovelydaughter ... and she even made medinner one night!”

And there’s this from Jim, “a Baptistpreacher two generations removedfrom the farm,” “Thanks for writingabout the memorable ceremonies inyour family.”

He signed it, “Soli Deo Gloria!”That’s a good place to both end and

begin a year: Soli Deo Gloria.And for the record, I didn’t write

that either.Alan Guebert’s “Farm and Food File”

FARM & FOOD FILE

By Alan Guebert

OPINION

The mailboxes in ourchurch narthex are an easyand convenient way toreceive church news and forpeople to bless one anotherwith cards. It’s an especiallypopular, postage-free optionat Christmas. On a mild Fri-day afternoon in Decemberas I was inserting Christmascards in the mailboxes Iworked alongside three oth-ers who were doing the same.

“I wonder what you haveto do to get a plate of treats?” I said,noticing that a number of people hadsmall plates of yummy Christmasgoodies in their boxes.

“You don’t want to be on that list,”said one of the men standing there. Hiswife nodded in agreement. “Those arefor the elderly widows and widowers.”

I don’t know the demographics of yourcongregation, but for us that’s a lot ofplates. “Wow!” I said, thinking through

how much time that must’vetaken. I assumed the youthgroup or a women’s Biblestudy made them. When Iasked if they knew the giftgivers, the gentlemanpointed to his wife and gavethe order not to tell anyone.They wanted their gift toremain anonymous. I foundtheir act doubly inspiring —the labor of love in makingthe goodies and the motiveof the heart in keepingthemselves nameless.

Their obscurity flies in the face of aculture that thrives in self-importance.We track how many friends we have onFacebook, followers on Twitter, howmany people send us birthday cards, orrecognize us and our achievementswithin our community. Deep within oursouls, whether we verbalize it or not,we want to be known for something. Wewant to make a mark on this world.

Within his book, “Embracing Obscu-rity — Becoming nothing in light ofGod’s everything,” the author Anony-mous (how’s that for walking thetalk?), writes, “We’re intoxicated with adesire to be known, recognized, appre-ciated, and respected. We crave to be a‘somebody’ and do notable things, toachieve our dreams and gain the admi-ration of others. To be something —anything — other than nothing.”

It’s a book that teaches true humilityand challenges readers to evaluate theirmotives for doing what they do. When wevolunteer or make a donation is it out oftrue care and concern for the ones we’reserving or are we hoping for some recog-nition and approval from others? Do wepurchase what we purchase because weneed it or because we’re hoping toimpress people? It’s a convicting read.

It’s what made the anonymous gifts ofgoodies especially sweet. I thought of allthe nameless faces across our landscapewho care for children, who scoop snow in

subzero weather for the elderly, who vol-unteer behind the scenes at schools andchurches, who give generously withoutrecognition, who put the needs of othersbefore themselves, who spend hours inprayer for people without ever tellinganother soul about the amount of timethey spend each day on their knees.

These people will probably never benamed Time’s Person of the Year, ormake national headlines, or receiveawards or accolades from the interna-tional community. That’s ok. Pastor andauthor Rick Warren puts it in perspec-tive when he says, “Being importantisn’t important. Be loving.”

Loving, humble acts of service matter.This world, this year, will be a betterplace when we care less about beingrecognized and more about recognizinghow many people need us to reach outto them in love.

THE BACK PORCH

By Lenae Bulthuis

By SARAH JOHNSONThe Land Correspondent

Since 1905, Janesville, a smallWaseca County, Minn., town with bigheart, has been keeping the commu-nity spirit alive with its annual HayDaze celebration, complete withparade, pageant, beer tent and Sundaymorning worship service (also in thebeer tent, perhaps to remind sinners ofrecent misdeeds).

Keeping this thing going year afteryear is no easy task, and it doesn’t payfor itself, either. So organizers are hop-ing to get some extra revenue from thesale of a community cookbook, “What’sCooking in Janesville,” full of recipesthat Janesvillers love, and so will you.The cookbook is beautifully bound andfeatures both up-to-the-minute recipesas well as old family favorites. It wasproduced by the Chamber of Com-merce and is available at local mer-chants. Here are a few sample recipes.

There’s only ever beenone place where yourheart belongs.

It’s the place where fourcars on the dirt road is“traffic.” It’s where yourco-workers wear leatherbecause they were bornwith it, probably in astraw bed spread on aconcrete floor. It’s where9-to-5 hours are some-body’s idea of a joke,you’re intimately familiarwith the body parts of

animals you neverthought you’d beintimately famil-iar with, and the“rat race” onlyhappens in thegranary, dang it.

Yep, your heartbelongs in thecountry and italways has. Sowhy not spendsome readingtime there, too,with the book“Barnyard Con-fidential” byvariousauthors, editedby Melinda Keefe.

Folks who live in the country areexceptionally fortunate.

In the country, people visit, go court-ing, and do a lot of porch sitting.There’s quilting (oftentimes in agroup), harvesting (ditto) and lots offresh, homegrown meals on the table,invitations welcome, thanks.

For the mechanically-minded, thecountry is a bounty of goodness.

There are augers on farms andranches, the use of which will give you“a fanatical hatred of shovels.” You’llfind branding irons, always accompa-nied by the south end of a calf and thewords, “Look out!” You’ll find all kindsof tractors, some in one form of “fix” oranother — which leads us to one of themost interesting places in the country:the machinery graveyard.

There are buildings in the countrythat you’d probably never find any-where else; a corn crib, for one, becausewhere else would you store your corn?You’ll sometimes find a mill out near apond and sometimes, it works.

Ron Fagen is a Granite Falls, Minn.,entrepreneur whose name became anindustrial legend during the construc-tion boom days of the United Statesethanol industry. During that explod-ing era — late 1990s until the mid-2000s — his firm was building about80 percent of all the new ethanolplants being constructed in theUnited States, more than 100 in all.

Fagen Construction is still goingstrong in the energy world, includingerecting towers for wind farms acrossthe north central states, building afull-scale cellulosic (corn stover)ethanol plant in Iowa, and expandingglobally with European projects.

But Ron Fagen has completed anentirely different and personal projectto show off these days — an incrediblenew World War II Fighter PlaneMuseum which officially opened Sept.29, 2012 at the Granite Falls airport.This amazing structure has alreadycaptured the fancy of aviation enthu-siasts across America.

Built as a tribute to his late father,Raymond, who participated in theJune 6, 1944 D-Day Utah Beach inva-sion of Europe, this huge museum is90 feet wide, 200 feet long and 28 feettall. Steel framed and steel rafter con-struction, this tremendously spatialinterior is now a world-class showcaseof pristine World War II fighter andtrainer air planes.

The WWII-era planes on displayinside this incredible museum includea P-51 Mustang monogrammed as“Sweet Revenge,” a Lockheed P-38Lightning “Ruff Stuff,” a P-40 FlyingTiger labeled “Desert Shark,” and aBT-13 Trainer. This same hangar alsohouses General Omar Bradley’s D-Day Willy Jeep, a Harley Davidson

WLA escort motorcycle, and a D-Dayveteran WC-54 Dodge ambulance.

This huge structure also has anupstairs library with books, photos,posters, WWII newspaper stories andother literature about the era. On bothof the main walls of this 18,000-square-feet structure are several interactivetouch video screens, plus a huge muralby Nebraska artist Dave Reiser depict-ing the Allied invasion of Normandy.

A smaller gallery hangar features aWaco CG4A combat glider (built inMinnesota) that carried U.S. Armypersonnel from England which oftenwere nighttime missions to quietly

Champion auctioneer contest Jan. 17

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

“I’m not going to tell a farmer how tomanage his site. He tells me how hewants to manage it and I will engineeraround that.” That candid responsewas from Cris Skonard, PhD., P.E., andsenior engineer with Bollig Inc., anengineering and environmental firmat Willmar, Minn., when asked how hisfirm works with farmers.

His firm exhibited at the Decemberannual conference of the MinnesotaState Cattlemen Association in Alexan-dria. He said a key issue when workingwith consulting engineers is that farm-ers understand each project is different.“We’re not going to be there every day sogetting it to work for that particularclient is what our business is all about.”

Bollig Inc. provides services acrossthe board to municipalities, manufac-turing facilities, business firms andmore recently a growing business in theagricultural world. Cattle feedlots,

manure facilities for hogs and cattle,soil erosion issues plus a bucketful of“little fixes” where the Minnesota Pollu-tion Control Agency has identified apollution problem is the daily agenda.

“My approach is look for common-sense solutions that will protect theenvironment without infringing on thestrategic operation of that particularclient,” Skonard said.

As slat-floored confinement struc-tures become more commonplace, live-stock producers often ask about animalsafety and comfort. “Livestock peopleknow that concrete can chew up hooves,sometimes causing lameness, evendowners. And that is why we’re seeingrubber mats being used more and moreon concrete slats. It’s a matter of com-fort,” he said.

Lagoons are sometimes still part ofthe engineering process. “And that’ssimply because a lagoon is often themost cost-effective way of handling live-stock manure. But each site is unique,”

said Skonard, “and sometimes countyregulations don’t permit lagoons.”

How do engineering firms charge fortheir services? With Bollig Inc. it startswith a site evaluation to get a handleon what type of services will be needed.Then preliminary cost estimates wouldlikely be done on a “lump sum” basisthat identifies individual key compo-nents. Hourly charges, however, aremore common if there are weather con-ditions or contractor issues that can’tbe controlled by Bollig Inc.

Is the strong economy of agriculturecreating more interest in engineeringservices?

“Yes, we see farmers more frequentlyasking if and how they can better man-

age the environment of their particu-lar farming operation. A common ques-tion is what will it take to get theminto compliance and what will it cost.Yes, I see a definite concern from farm-ers about how they can become betterstewards of the land,” Skonard said.

This means constant study andunderstanding by engineering firms ofrules and regulations as they pertainto livestock and crop production. Hesaid he’s on the telephone weekly tovarious feedlot engineers in variouscounties. “I explain what I think needsto happen on this particular farm. Iask, ‘What are you saying?’ Sometimescompromise is the solution. They’vebeen real good working with us onthese issues,” said Skonard. ❖

There’s nothing like higher feed costs to driveinterest in new additives that potentially increasefeed efficiency in your livestock.

Interviewed at a Dec. 13 Minnesota Cattle Feed-ers Day event at Tracy, Ben Holland, technical serv-ices specialist with Merck Animal Health, said, “thehigher costs of commodity feedstuffs have definitelycreated an incentive amongst cattle feeders tobecome more efficient, both economically and envi-ronmentally in usage of their resources.”

A good example is Merck’s Zilmax, a beta agonistagent that acts directly on the muscle cell causing itto increase in size. “Zilmax binds to each muscle cellwith the net result of more carcass weight in thefinished animal without requiring any additionalfeed, water or other resources,” said Holland.

He explained that in all muscles there is an ongoingbuildup and breakdown of muscle tissue; it’s a con-stant cycle in all livestock — humans, too. The addi-tion of Zilmax in the finishing ration alters and slowsthat process so the ratio of what’s being deposited isgreater than what’s being broken down. “And the netresult is an increase in muscle mass,” said Holland.

Additives obviously have a cost-effectiveness con-sideration. A plus for Zilmax is that it producesresults with only a 20-day usage in the finishingration. However the product has Food & Drug Admin-istration clearance for usage the last 20 to 40 days,with a three-day withdrawal prior to marketing.

Marketed as a feed additive, the label indicates 6.8 gramsper ton of ration in a Total Mixed Daily Ration program.

The product’s cost is adjusted monthly based on livecarcass price values. “This gives a continual return tothe feeder at a 2-to-1 ratio. If cattle prices go up, thecost of Zilmax goes up and vice versa with decliningcattle prices,” noted Holland. How often does a manu-facturer offer a pricing system that assures a consis-tent expectation of cost effectiveness? Based on cur-rent cattle prices, the product costs a feeder $26 to$28 per head for a 20-day feeding period.

Over 50,000 head of cattle have been studied withZilmax in over 20 different locations to verify per-formance data, both from a biological standpoint anda performance standpoint.

When “altering” muscle structure of a beef critter,are you altering taste and flavor? Not so, said Hol-land, noting consumer taste panels involving over

3,000 people with no taste difference from beef fin-ished with the Zilmax additive, versus no Zilmax.

The product has been in the U.S. market since2007; globally since the late 1990s. Holland said theproduct continues to enjoy a growing market. He esti-mated over 6 million head of U.S. beef will be market-ing with Zilmax in the finishing ration this year.

Tom Revier, of Revier Cattle Company in Olivia,Minn., pays extreme attention to feeding costs. Thefirm markets over 15,000 head of cattle yearly fromboth confinement (on slats) and open feedlots.

“(Zilmax is) a fabulous product,” he said. “Our onlyissue is that it slightly lowers the grade of the fin-ished carcass. But the big plus is that it adds size tothe highest valued portions of the carcass, the loinsand the rib section. ... And for an industry that mightsoon be short of beef for the consumer market, thisadded tonnage might take on significant impact.” ❖

Soybeans are a very versatile crop that can helpmeet the world’s needs for food, feed, fuel — and 45new products brought to the marketplace this yearwith the help of the soy checkoff.

“These 45 products represent 45 new ways ofenhancing the market for our soybeans,” says RussCarpenter, a soy checkoff farmer-leader from Tru-mansburg, N.Y. “All of the products the checkoffhelped develop this year and in past years, includ-ing some that we can use on our farms, cometogether to create a valuable market for our soy.”

The checkoff provides funding to manufacturers ofindustrial and consumer products to research, developand commercialize new products that contain soy.Partnerships like these have helped bring hundreds ofnew soy products to the marketplace, dramaticallyincreasing demand for U.S. soy oil in the process.

This year’s list includes new additions to some popu-lar soy-based product categories, such as foam, candlewax and elevator fluids. But it also includes productsin some completely new categories like paintballs, gelmattress filling and nail-polish remover.

Industrial demand, including biodiesel manufactur-ing, is on a steep upward trend. In the last 10 years,industrial uses for soy have grown almost fivefold.

Manufacturers use soy oil as a replacement forpetrochemicals to make their products more renew-able and more environmentally friendly whilemaintaining or, in some cases, exceeding perform-ance. Soy products are often more biodegradableand contain fewer volatile organic compounds thantraditional products.

The new soy-based products introduced in 2012 asa result of soy checkoff support include the following:Plastics

Emmetsburg, Iowa, soybean farmer Jim Stillmanwill be leading the soy checkoff for 2013, and he’llhave plenty of help. Not only will Stillman, who waselected chairman on Dec. 6, have the other 68 volun-teer United Soybean Board farmer-leaders to assisthim, he just received strategy recommendations fromnearly 400 representatives of the U.S. soy value chain.

USB recently concluded the CONNECTIONS 2012conference and its annual meeting, two events thatwill help USB lead the industry forward. For twodays at CONNECTIONS, industry influencers,including soybean farmer-leaders, researchers, tech-nology companies, soy customers and many more,identified upcoming challenges and opportunitiesfacing the industry. Those participants then plannedthe industry’s future strategy based on those issues.

USB’s annual meeting followed, and the 69-mem-ber board elected Stillman as USB’s new chairmanbefore immediately beginning to put the CONNEC-TIONS recommendations into action to increaseprofit opportunities for all U.S. soybean farmers.

“We organize CONNECTIONS to get input from asmany different industry representatives as possible,which makes the results even stronger,” says Still-man, who has been a checkoff farmer-leader since2005, most recently serving as Vice Chair. “The nextstep will require even more collaboration than thisone. We’ll work with the entire soy value chain toimplement these results in a way that will allow usall to gain.”

Also at this meeting, USB transitioned from its old

structure to its new one, aligning farmer-leadersdirectly with USB’s four strategic objectives: increas-ing the value of U.S. soy meal and oil, maintainingfarmers’ freedom to operate and meeting customerneeds for high-quality soy products and services.These efforts will be organized into the target areasof domestic and international opportunities, supplyand communication. The following farmer-leaderswill be joining Stillman on the executive committeeto oversee USB’s profit-building projects:

• Vice chairman: Jim Call, Madison, Minn.• Secretary: Lewis Bainbridge, Ethan, S.D.• Treasurer: Bob Haselwood, Berryton, Kan.• Soy Meal Action Team Chair: Russ Carpenter,

Trumansburg, N.Y.• Soy Oil Action Team Chair: Lewis Bainbridge,

Ethan, S.D.• Freedom to Operate Action Team Chair: Richard

Fordyce, Bethany, Mo.• Customer Focus Action Team Chair: Sharon

Covert, Tiskilwa, Ill.• International Opportunities Target Area Coordi-

nator: Jared Hagert, Emerado, N.D.• Supply Target Area Coordinator: Rick Stern,

Cream Ridge, N.J.• Communications Target Area Coordinator:

Jimmy Sneed, Hernando, Miss.• Past Chairman: Marc Curtis, Leland, Miss.

Additionally, North Dakota farmer Joel Thorsrudwill serve as Domestic Opportunities Target Areacoordinator. Davide Hartke, from Illinois, will serveas Audit & Evaluation Committee chair.

Under USB’s new structure, a Strategic Manage-ment Committee keeps the checkoff ’s strategicgoals at the forefront. This group of farmer-leadersalso reviews budgets and tracks the progress ofcheckoff-funded projects to ensure they remain con-sistent with USB’s long-range strategic plan.Farmer-leaders who will serve on the SMC include:

• Chair Jim Call, Madison, Minn.• Marc Curtis, Leland, Miss.• Dwain Ford, Kinmundy, Ill.• Nancy Kavazanjian, Beaver Dam, Wis.• Jim Schriver, Bluffton, Ind.The 69 farmer-directors of USB oversee the invest-

“ASA will continue working to get aFarm Bill done in the Lame Duck ses-sion or early next year — the droughtthis year should make it evident howcritical crop insurance is to soybeanfarmers.

“And to meet the demand for foodand feed that will be required by theexpected world population of 9 billionpeople in 2050, U.S. soybean farmerswill need to sustainably increase ourproduction in the face of increased reg-ulation, competition from other crops,unfounded questions on the safety ofbiotechnology, and slow approvals ofnew biotech traits.”

Grain Angles Demand-drivenmarkets strong

As we look towards the 2013 crop year, we see thatmany questions remain unanswered. We have talkedabout the need for an above-average crop coming outof the southern hemisphere. We have talked about thefears of a back-to-back drought and how that couldaffect prices. We keep focusing on the supply side ofthe equation, but we must remem-ber that the heart and core of thismarket has been the RenewableFuels Standard passed in 2005.This political action created ademand-driven market.

As we know, demand-drivenmarkets are much stronger andlast longer than supply-drivenmarkets. As we have watched thepolitical powers grinding away ingridlock on the “fiscal cliff” debate,the larger markets have tradedlower while deleveraging their riskin the markets. This is anotherexample of how the political climate can impact prices.The political action that created the Renewable FuelsStandard could be changed with the stroke of a pen.

The political element is just one thing that couldimpact demand for corn.The greatest impact could be ifwe were to have a production problem in 2013 andprices take run to the upside. This could crack thedemand bubble, with greater long-term damage tograin demand than the political risk could inflict.Whentrue demand from livestock feeders and our export cus-tomers is damaged, it takes longer to recover thanmany producers with high land costs may endure.

If we look at the long-term global demand projec-tion for 2012-13 corn, we see the first decrease in 19years. This decrease of 15.25 million metric tons

Grain Outlook Lack of demand

curbs cornThe following market analysis is for the week end-

ing Dec. 28.CORN — After closing higher on each side of

Christmas for the past eight years, corn historyfailed this year when March corn closed lower theday after the holiday.

A lack of demand is at the fore-front of the decline, but improvingconditions in South America, theabsence of traders during the hol-iday week and the fear that theUnited States will go over the fis-cal cliff added to the negative sen-timent and subdued any buyinginterest before the end of the year.

The thin markets played intothe hands of the bears where lowvolumes can exaggerate movesfor little perceivable reason. Dailyvolumes in the first half of theweek were about half of the daily average in Decem-ber. During the week, both the March and December2013 contract closed at their lowest levels since July.

U.S. corn continues to be uncompetitive on theworld market as seen when South Korea boughtSouth American corn this week and Taiwan passedon a tender. Brazilian corn continues to reach U.S.southeastern shores. Logistics could become a night-mare: on the PNW, workers rejected the last offer, butare continuing to work; the Mississippi River mayeffectively be closed by Jan. 3 or 4 due to low waterand on-going work to remove rock obstructions.

Weekly export sales were a disappointment at just4.1 million bushels, the second-lowest in the last 11weeks, and running 48 percent behind last year. Corn

Livestock Angles Cattle end 2012at all-time highs

At the end of the year 2012, cattle prices were neartheir all-time highs, while hog prices were in the mid-range of their entire years’ range. As we move into thenew year, the prognosticators will be guessing at howcattle and hog prices will be through the entireupcoming year based upon what happened last year.The problem being that some newfactors will effect the marketsover the next 12 months, whichwill be mainly economic factorsthat will have a direct bearing ondemand for meat products.

The cattle market has been in along-term upward trend for most ofthe year. This trend has beenfueled by the supply of cattle whichhas been on a downward trend foryears. At the same time the domes-tic demand for beef has also beenon a downward trend, although at aslower decline than the supply ofcattle. Export business has improved over the past yearwhich appears to be the underlying strength to themarket rather than the softening domestic demand.Cattle numbers are expected to remain smaller throughthe year, which should keep the supply bulls satisfied.

From the demand standpoint, with advent of aseries of new taxes on the American public, disposableincome will undoubtedly shrink the demand for beef,when compared to the less expensive meats and meatalternatives. Overall, it would appear that the cattlemarket will continue to remain at price levels thatare in the upper half of the price over the past severalyears. Producers should continue to monitor the mar-ket and protect inventories as events warrant.

The hog market, in difference to the cattle market,

NYSTROM, from pg. 23inspections/shipments are running 53percent behind last year. Total exportsare forecast by the U.S. Department of Agricultureto only drop 25 percent from last year. This paceleads to expectations that the USDA will lowerexports on the January 11th crop production report.However, total production is also expected to fall,which will counter the export decline.

In a holiday-delayed report, weekly ethanol pro-duction increased by 12,000 bpd to 834,000 bpd.Stocks fell slightly, down 500,000 barrels, to 20.3million barrels.

OUTLOOK: The lack of interested in U.S. corn con-tinues to hang over the market and gives traders lit-tle incentive to add to length going into the end of theyear. There remains a gap in March corn from $6.831⁄2 to $6.87 1⁄2 that held this week. Resistance is theold support level of $7.15 per bushel. This weekMarch corn fell 8 cents to close at $6.94 and theDecember 2013 contract at $5.99 3⁄4 was off 7 cents.Corn may trade in consolidating fashion until we seethe USDA’s Jan. 11 balance sheet. New Year’s pricehistory in March corn: session before New Year’s ithas closed unchanged or higher in all 10 of the last10 years. In the first session of the New Year, it hasclosed unchanged or higher in 8 of the last 10 years.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans failed to hold early-week gains and, like corn, became the outlier toprice action around the Christmas holiday by clos-ing lower Dec. 26.

Safras upped their soybean production estimate forBrazil from 82.4 mmt to 84.3 mmt, the highest esti-mate to be seen in print and versus USDA’s 81 mmt

projection. Abiove, a private Braziliancompany, pushed their Brazilian esti-

mate to 81.6 mmt. South America stillhas some problem spots in Argentina and Brazil, but onthe whole the weather has taken a back seat to othernews events. China returned to the buying arena whenthe USDA announced sales of 280 tmt to them andanother 108 tmt sold to unknown this week. A sale of30 tmt of bean oil was also reported sold to unknown.

Weekly inspections/shipments total 55 percent ofthe projected export sales for this year after the 44.5million reported this week. We only need to ship 16.7million per week to achieve the current USDA exportestimate. Shipments to China were the lowest sinceSeptember. On the weekly sales side, soybean saleswere the lowest of the marketing year at 3.2 million(last week’s 840 tmt Chinese cancellations wereincluded, but total commitments to China only fell272 tmt). Total U.S. sales commitments are 28 per-cent ahead of last year. The USDA is currently pro-jecting exports to be down 1.2 percent from last year.

Early soybean harvest has begun in the MatoGrosso region in Brazil, according to Dr. Cordonnier.Yields were reported between 36-43.5 bushels peracre. The Doctor also lowered his Argentine bean pro-duction by 1 mmt to 54 mmt and versus USDA’s 55mmt estimate. The forecast for Brazil and Argentinais a moot point for traders with Argentina looking at adry period to plant and Brazil’s dry regions shrinking.

OUTLOOK: Our tight balance sheet hasn’t beenmuch help this week, but the world needs SouthAmerica to stage a smooth transition for soybeanexports. Can that actually happen? The U.S. budgetchaos, logistics and upcoming Jan. 11 crop reporthave made traders nervous about carrying a positionas we head into month/quarter/year end.

Demand for our soy products remains alive andwell, which still puts a friendly spin on prices downthe road. March soybeans retreated 11 1⁄4 cents toclose at $14.18 while the November 2013 contractgained 9 3⁄4 cents to settle at $13.10 1⁄4 per bushel.Price action in March soybeans around the NewYear’s holiday: in the session before New Year’s ithas closed higher 9 out of the last 10 years. In thefirst session of the New Year, it has closed unchangedor higher in 7 out of the last 10 years.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week end-ing Dec. 28: March Minneapolis wheat was down 13cents, Chicago was 13 1⁄4 cents lower, and KansasCity lost 16 1⁄4 cents. February crude oil was $2.14higher at $90.80, heating oil was up a penny, gasolinerose 4 1⁄4 cents and natural gas was down 1 1⁄4 cents.The U.S. dollar index was .07 points higher at 79.69.The next USDA report is Jan. 11, which for the firsttime will be released at 11:00 am Central.

MARKETING

TEALE, from pg. 23has had no supply problems as numbers of hogs hasremained at fairly stable levels. In fact the latestU.S. Department of Agriculture Quarterly Hogs andPigs Report released on Dec. 28, indicated that thehog inventory was equal with the previous year. Theresults were as follows: All hogs and pigs as of Dec. 1100 percent, Kept for breeding 100 percent, and Keptfor marketing 100 percent. This report was seen asslightly negative as pre-report estimates suggestedthat the overall inventory would be on the decline.

The outlook for hog prices would suggest that the

price range of 2012 will be close to the price range for2013. The interesting point is that demand for porkproducts has been on the increase throughout theyear, both export and domestic. This increase ininterest appears to be the result of the price for porkproducts being a better value than its competitivemeat sources. Should this trend continue, this wouldbe supportive to prices in the long term. Producersare urged to keep abreast of market conditions andprotect inventories when opportunities arise.

I would like to wish everyone a very happy andprosperous new year. ❖

Pork demand increased through 2012

NEHER, from pg. 23includes a projected drop in U.S. demand of 24.57million metric tons. When we compare this to anincrease in demand from foreign countries of 9.31million metric tons, we have to conclude that thethreat to the demand market in corn comes from theUnited States and not from the developing countries.

In the United States the projected feed demand isdown to 4.15 billion bushels, the lowest since 1988-89, while export demand of 1.15 billion bushels is thelowest since 1974-75. Could it be that our global com-petitors are waiting to fill any disruption in the U.S.supply chain?

We see the early projections for the 2013 corn acresplanted increasing to nearly 98 million acres, up from96.9 million acres planted in 2012. If we use a below

trend line yield of 150 bushels per acre and assumethat 91.5 percent of the planted acres is harvested itwould produce a 13.4 billion bushel corn crop. Thiswould be a new record crop for the United States.

As I said at the beginning of this column, there aremany questions still unanswered. The markets willkeep a close eye on production in South America andthe growing conditions in the United States will bemonitored on a regular basis. There will be manydays of volatility yet ahead of us to leverage.

With the markets trading lower to sideways at best,we must wonder what is being priced into the market.Could it be the impact of crumbling demand? I havemet very few Bears in this market lately and it isstarting to remind me of some advice that myGrandpa shared with me many years ago: “Bewarewhen everyone runs to the same side of the boat.” ❖

Many days of volatility yet ahead

This column was written for the market-ing week ending Dec. 28.

Happy New Year! I hope your Christmaswas filled with the Spirit from which ittruly originates and transcends to 2013. Ionce heard that “happiness” depends onwhat’s “happening.” Joy depends on whatis within one’s heart and mind so whileone may not be happy per se, one can stillpossess joy. It is a choice!

As I write this my last column of 2012, Icheck the cupboards and there’s good newsand bad in butter. The November ColdStorage report shows butter stocks at127.1 million pounds, down a whopping12 percent from October so demand was there, butstocks are up a whopping 36 percent from a year ago.

The Dec. 24 Daily Dairy Report said: “This year’ssmaller-than-normal decline belies soft demand for but-ter and indicates retailers were able to secure invento-ries earlier in the year and did little buying in Novem-ber. It also explains the sizeable break in butter pricesthat began in November and suggests that despitethese lower prices November butter exports could have

slowed after robust sales in October.”American cheese, at 581.3 million

pounds, was unchanged from October but2 percent below a year ago. Total cheesestocks amounted to 941.8 million pounds,down 1 percent from October and 4 per-cent below those a year ago.

The cash block cheese market closed theshortened Christmas holiday week at$1.74 per pound, unchanged on the weekbut 17.75 cents above a year ago. Barrelclosed at $1.71, up 5.5 cents on the week,

13 cents above a year ago, and re-established the more typical spread.Seven cars of barrel was the only cash

cheese sold on the week. The Agricultural MarketingService-surveyed U.S. average block price fell to$1.7833, down 3.1 cents, while the barrels averaged$1.7151, down 3.9 cents.

Cheese production continues at accelerated levels,according to Dairy Market News. Milk supplies aresteady to increasing in many parts of the country.Coupled with reduced demand from Class I and II dueto the holidays, more milk is available for the vat and

this is expected to be the case through early January.■

Cash butter remains in a melt down, losinganother four cents Christmas Week, and fell to$1.4975, 9.75 cents below a year ago. Two cars weresold on the week. AMS butter averaged $1.6017, up0.7 cent. Cash Grade A and Extra Grade nonfat drymilk remained at $1.5575 and $1.56 respectively,where they have been since late November. AMSpowder averaged $1.5596, up 1.4 cents, and drywhey averaged 66.78 cents, up 1.3 cents.

A combination of factors is influencing prices, accord-ing to DMN. Butter prices declining to levels last pres-ent during mid-July, cream offerings being heavy andexpected to increase, and butterfat tests since Julysubstantially above the last few years, all lead to sur-plus cream that exceeds demand. The surplus isexpected to increase due to the holidays. The only realand viable outlet for the surplus cream will be thechurn, warns the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

This leads to a complex situation where manufac-turers are averse to building inventories concurrent

Just one thing is certain for 2013: Continued uncertainty

MIELKE, from pg. 27with downward index prices and retail butter ordersare dropping, DMN said. Some butter manufactur-ers in the Northeast are increasing production ofunsalted 82 percent butter targeted for the exportmarket, where export demand from the Middle Eastremains good.

FC Stone’s Dec. 27 eDairy Insider Opening Bell

suggested that the winter stormtracking across the eastern portion ofthe country “could be playing a role inthis week’s quiet markets as travelersstruggle to get to the office and return home fromChristmas travel. The storm had already dumpedmore than a foot of snow on parts of Pennsylvaniaand New York.”

■

DMN reports that manufacturingmilk supplies were increasing across

the nation going into the holiday period due to sea-sonal declines in Class I and II demand. Manufactur-ing milk supplies were expected to keep dryers at ornear capacity levels in the Eastern and Centralregions and Western processors were expected tohave adequate capacity to handle the increased vol-umes.

Milk production is increasing steadily in theNortheast, Mid-Atlantic and Central regions withrising protein and butterfat levels. Production inCalifornia and the Southwest is steady to buildingslightly but below a year ago. A new yogurt plant hasopened in Idaho and will be ramping up the amountof milk it takes.

Looking across the pond; New Zealand milk pro-duction is steady to slightly lower as the milk seasonmoves further away from the peak. October outputwas almost 4 percent higher than a year ago. Sea-sonal numbers through October were up 6 percent,reports DMN, while Australian output has beengrowing slightly in recent weeks. November totalsare about 1 percent above a year ago. Estimates ofseasonal totals growing by 2 percent are expected tobe lowered.

Back home, looking “back to the futures;” first half2013 Class III contracts portended $18.26 per hun-dredweight average on Dec. 7, down from $18.74 theweek before, $18.47 on Dec. 14, $18.33 on Dec. 21,and was trading around $18.38 late morning Dec. 28,compared to $15.90 in 2012.

It is not too early to start planning cropinsurance strategies for the 2013 cropyear, even though the crop insuranceenrollment deadline for corn, soybeansand spring wheat in the Upper Midwestis not until March 15. The coming cropyear will likely feature a high level ofgrain price volatility, along with consider-able drought risk in many areas of theUpper Midwest.

The Trend-Adjusted Actual ProductionHistory — TA-APH for short — yieldendorsement for corn and soybeans wasintroduced for the 2012 crop year inseveral states, and will be continuedfor 2013, with wheat being added inselected areas of the region. Cropinsurance premiums were adjusted downward formany Upper Midwest crop producers in 2012, andwill again be adjusted downward for the 2013 cropyear.

The combination of the TA-APH yield endorse-ment, along with lower premium rates, allows pro-ducers the opportunity to enhance their insurancecoverage for 2013, with only minimal extra premiuminvestment. Producers should contact their cropinsurance agent early to find out all the crop insur-ance options that are available for 2013 before final-izing their risk management strategies.Trend-adjusted APH yield endorsement

For the 2013 crop year, producers purchasing fed-eral crop insurance for corn and soybeans will againhave the option to use the TA-APH yield endorse-ment on their crop insurance policies, rather thanthe standard Actual Production History. The TA-APH option was initiated by the U.S. Department ofAgriculture Risk Management Agency for corn andsoybeans in 2012, and will available in 2013 on acounty basis in parts of numerous states, including

large portions of Minnesota, Iowa, Wiscon-sin, North and South Dakota, and encom-passing most major corn and soybean pro-ducing counties in the region.

New for 2013: Wheat producers in mostof West Central and Northwest Min-nesota, Northeast South Dakota, and mostof North Dakota will also be eligible forthe TA-APH endorsement for wheat. TheTA-APH will likely be quite attractive tomany Midwest corn and soybean produc-ers, as well as wheat producers in thoseselected areas. The decision regarding the

TA-APH endorsement must be madeby the 2013 crop insurance enroll-ment deadline, which is March 15, for

corn, soybeans and spring wheat inthe Upper Midwest.

The APH yields have been used for many years todetermine crop insurance guarantees for both YieldProtection and Revenue Protection policies. The APHyield is determined by a minimum of 4 years, and upto a maximum of 10 years, of actual yield history ona crop insurance “unit.” If there are more than 10years of yield history, the most recent 10 years areused to determine the APH. If there are less thanfour years of APH yields, then pre-set T-yields areused until there is a four-year history.

For many years, corn, soybean and wheat produc-ers in high production areas have felt that the 10-year average APH yields used for crop insuranceguarantees were not reflective of current yield poten-tial that exists due to enhanced seed genetics andimproved production practices.

Producers also felt that there was sometimes a“yield penalty” on farm units with a longer yield his-tory, due to the more recent yield increases. The TA-APH was developed by the RMA to help improve

these issues on selected corn, soybean, and wheatcrop insurance policies.TA-APH yield adjustments

The TA-APH yield adjustment factors are made ona county basis, based on historical annual increasesin county-average corn, soybean, and wheat yields,as calculated by the National Agricultural StatisticsService. Most counties in South Central and South-western Minnesota had a TA-APH yield adjustmentfactor of 2.2-2.5 bushels per acre for corn, and 0.35-0.50 bushels per acre for soybeans in 2012.

Producers should check with their crop insuranceagent for the TA-APH yield adjustment factors for2013 in their county. A producer’s actual APH yields(4-10 years) are then used with the county TA-APHadjustment factors to arrive at a final TA-APHyield.

The TA-APH yield adjustment factor is added foreach year of production history, up to a maximum of10 years. For example, if the yield adjustment factorfor corn is 2.5 bushels per acre, then 2.5 bushels peracre is added for the most recent year (2012), 5.0bushels per acre is added for the preceding year(2011), and 7.5 bushels per acre for the year beforethat (2010), etc. The maximum yield adjustment foryear 10 (2003) would be 25 bushels per acre (2.5Bu./A. x 10 years). Please see Table No. 1 for a TA-APH example for corn, and Table No. 2 for a TA-APH example for soybeans.

The TA-APH yield does have a yearly maximumor “cap” for any given year during the 4-10 yearsthat are used to calculate the final TA-APH. Theyield “cap” for any year is the highest reported

PROGRAMS, from pg. 29yearly yield duringthe 4-10 years plusthe yield adjustmentfactor. For example, if the highest reported cornyield on a farm unit was 190 bushels per acre, andthe yield adjustment factor was 2.5 bushels peracre, the “cap” yield for any year, after adjustments,would be 192.5 bushels per acre. In the TA-APHexample for corn in Table No. 1, the highest yieldwas 194 bushels per acre in 2011, so the “cap” yieldis 196.5 bushels per acre.

Based on the TA-APH formula, the yield adjust-ment for 2011 would be 5.0 bushels per acre; how-ever, since that would exceed the “cap” yield, anadjustment of 2.5 bushels per acre was used toarrive at a final maximum yield of 196.5 bushelsper acre.

This situation will likely affect 2013 TA-APH cal-culations for many corn and soybean producers inparts of the upper Midwest, due to 2012 yields beinglower than 2010 and 2011 yields, as a result of the2012 drought.Other details on the TA-APH yield endorsement

• The TA-APH yield endorsement is available forboth Yield Protection (YP) and Revenue Protection(RP) policies for corn and soybeans in 2013 at allcoverage levels, except the catastrophic level (CAT)of 50 %. Group crop insurance policies, such asGRIP or GRP, also utilize TA-APH yields for policyguarantees.

• The decision on whether to use the TA-APHyield endorsement for the coming year must bemade by the crop insurance sales closing date,which is March 15, 2013 for corn, soybeans, andspring wheat in most Upper Midwest States.

• To be eligible for the TA-APH yield endorsementfor corn, soybeans, or wheat in 2013, the farm unitmust be in a County that is eligible for the TA-APHendorsement.

• The decision to utilize the TA-APH yieldendorsement is crop specific, and is on a Countybasis. So, a producer could choose to use TA-APH forcorn and not for soybeans, or they could use TA-APH in one County, but not in another County.

• The TA-APH yield endorsement is a continuousinsurance policy, and will continue in effect unlessthe producer chooses to drop the endorsement, orunless RMA ends the TA-APH endorsement. If a

producer switches crop insurance companies, theywill need to re-select the TA-APH endorsement tohave it continue.

• A producer must have at least one actualreported yield for a crop from a farm unit in the pastfour years for that crop and farm unit to be eligiblefor the TA-APH endorsement, which must be anactual yield, and not a T-yield that was used.

• There must be a minimum of 4 reported annualyields in past 12 years for a crop insurance farm unitto be eligible for the full TA-APH yield adjustment;otherwise the yield adjustment factors will bereduced as follows:

· 100 percent adjustment for 4 or more yearsof reported yields in the past 12 years.

· 75 percent adjustment for 3 years ofreported yields.

· 50 percent adjustment for 2 years ofreported yields.

· 25 percent for 1 year with a reported yield.• The use of the TA-APH yield endorsement will

not directly affect crop insurance premiums, as the

premiums are based on the level of coverage and dol-lar guarantee.Impacts of selecting the TA-AYP endorsement

For producers with four or more years of actual pro-duction history for corn and soybeans on a farm unit,which has shown increasing yields over that period,there should be a noticeable yield increase with theTA-APH yield endorsement. The yield improvementwill vary depending on the actual yield history on thefarm unit, the number of years of production history,and the county yield adjustment factor.

Based on the TA-APH example for corn shown inTable No. 1, there was a yield improvement of 13.5bushels per acre, from 173.5 bushels per acre withthe standard APH to 187.0 bushels per acre with TA-APH. The TA-APH example for soybeans in TableNo. 2 showed an increase of 2.2 bushels per acre,from an APH yield of 46.0 bushels per acre to 48.2bushels per acre with TA-APH.

Crop insurance premiums for corn, soybeans andwheat in 2013 will be adjusted for the 2013 crop yearin most areas of the Upper Midwest. These premiumadjustments are based on updated RMA crop insur-ance actuarial data for several years. The crop insur-ance premium adjustments for 2013 will also applyto cotton, rice, and grain sorghum in other areas ofthe United States.

The reason for the premium adjustments is thatthe total crop insurance loss ratio in the UnitedStates from 1995-2011 averaged 0.84, meaning that84 cents was paid out in crop insurance losses forevery dollar paid in to the crop insurance programfrom producer premiums and Federal subsidies.

The crop insurance premium adjustments for 2013will be on a state-by-state basis. States with cropinsurance loss ratios lower than the U.S. average lossratio will receive larger crop insurance premiumreductions for 2013, while states with higher lossratios will see premium increases in 2013. Cropinsurance premiums for 2013 on comparable insur-ance coverage for corn are expected to drop by anaverage of 3 percent in Minnesota and 6 percent inIowa, while increasing by 15 percent in SouthDakota and 11 percent in North Dakota.

Soybean premiums in 2013 on comparable insur-ance coverage are expected to decrease by an aver-age of 4 percent in Minnesota and 9 percent in Iowa,while increasing by 2 percent in both North and

South Dakota. 2013 wheat premiumsshould be about 10 percent lower inMinnesota, and slightly higher inNorth and South Dakota. Actual crop insurance pre-mium adjustments will vary by county, and willdepend on the insurance coverage level selected.The bottom line

The TA-AHP yield endorsement looks to be a veryattractive option for many producers on their 2013crop insurance policies. The combination of the TA-APH endorsement, along with the reductions in cropinsurance premiums at comparable coverage levelsfor most producers, will allow many producers toenhance their crop insurance revenue guarantees forcorn, soybeans and wheat in 2013. This should allowcrop producers to be more aggressive in forward pric-ing a higher percentage of their anticipated 2013

crop production during these timesof highly volatile market prices.Producers are encouraged to contact

their crop insurance agent well ahead of the March15 deadline for 2013 crop insurance enrollment tofind out more details about the TA-APH yieldendorsement. There is a lot of variation with theTA-APH endorsement from county to county, farmunit-to-farm unit, and between corn, soybeans andwheat. Crop insurance agents can help producersanalyze the various scenarios with the TA-APHendorsement, and to look at the best crop insurancestrategies for 2013.

Agriculture is no ordinary business. People in otherindustries may spend their days in front of a computer,but not the folks who make their living from the soil.That’s what makes the latest innovations in mobile tech-nology particularly suited to this traditional profession.

Studies show that ag professionals in general havea stronger-than-average appetite for mobile devices.In a recent Successful Farming survey, 94 percent ofrespondents said they had a cellphone — 11 percentmore than the general public.

In keeping with the trend, ag companies are uppingtheir mobile offerings to provide more resources. Syn-genta recently relaunched the mobile version of itsFarmAssist — www.farmassist.com —website to pro-vide a better user experience that allows visitors tonavigate through information more easily.

Like the website, the mobile version is a one-stopresource offering timely agricultural news and ag

market commentary, local weather, product infor-mation and labels, agricultural commodity prices,crop yield, planting calculators, and more.

“Our partnership with Greenbook Data Solutions, aprovider of plant protection chemical data, permits usersto access the most complete, current crop protection prod-uct-label information in an easy-to-read format,” saidAnthony Transou,Syngenta internet marketing manager.

Recent upgrades include the addition of productrates, worker safety recommendations, restricted-entry intervals data, as well as the Syngenta cornand soybean seeds portfolio. Users also can accesslocal updates on pests and more detailed productinformation specific to their areas.

Most farmers listen ratherintently when Jeff Littrell speaks.They may not agree with him, buthe does get a hold their attention.Why? Because he’s very opinion-ated on nutrient placement andnutrient quantities when it comesto modern crop production.

Littrell is vice president of FHR Farms at Stew-artville, Minn. FHR specializes in biological cropproduction and also is a nutrient management firm.He says epoxy issues in the Mississippi River deltawill be forcing Upper Midwest farmers into nutrientplacement rules and regulations.

“Whether it’s by mandate or some other form ofgovernment regulation, farmers will have to usetechnologies that simply reduce nutrient loss intoour rivers and drainage systems,” Littrell said. Hispoint is that these mandates potentially are good

both for the environmentand the pocketbook.

“I can reduce 400 poundsper acre nutrient applica-tions to 200 pounds with pre-cise placement and get thesame production,” he claims,and verifies. On their ownfarming operation they havereduced nutrient inputs by50 percent. He related to the“older” recommendation forexample of 1.6 pounds nitrogenfor each bushel of anticipated yield. “We’re down to 0.5pounds or less today. On recently rented ground we’redown to about 1 lb. N per bushel of corn but that, too,will be reduced. On P & K we’re at about 50 percent ofrecommended rates for the past 6 years now. But onthe rented acres we’re still at 400-500 pounds.”

Littrell said it’s primarily a matter of nutrientplacement that permits these greatly reducedinputs. But it’s also about microbiology in the soiland stabilization of products by amino acids. “Basi-cally you want a simple protein or amino acid to aidin feeding the plant.”Gypsum overlooked?

Could gypsum be the biggest oversight in today’shigh-tech crop production? Littrell certainly thinks so.

“I spent six years doingresearch with MPCA in the1990s on the impact of gyp-sum from an NSP plant (nowXcel Energy) at LaCrosse.We were looking at thereduction in crop nutrients ifgypsum was added as a soilamendment. Plus it providesan increase in the floccula-tion properties of the soil,while aiding in the solublesulfur which in turn

increased the protein content of the crop,” he said.“But because the environmental community didn’t

like this surface spreading of ash (residue byprod-uct) NSP refused to go any further land applying flyash or their byproducts. So we sat for 12-14 yearsdoing nothing, which perhaps was a good thing forthe utility industry because they all had plenty ofthis product if they just learned how to get past theirignorance of what to do with their piles of fly ash.”

That meant using solid agronomy science to learnhow to put the gypsum product back into the soil.

What does gypsum do? It aggregates the soil,which means “rebuilding” a collapsed soil due toweathering and over-nitrification or lack of nitrifica-tion. “By adding gypsum into the system you areopening that soil particle again which allows waterto move through the soil more readily. Also as youincrease the CEC (calcium exchange capacity) ofthat clay particle you also increase the moistureretention capabilities of your soil for usage later inthe growing season,” said Littrell.

Gypsum is a mined product, generally out of lime-stone formations in Iowa. But power plants also pro-duce huge amounts of what Littrell referred to as

Jeff Littrell

See NUTRIENTS, pg. 33

Whether it’s by mandate orsome other form of governmentregulation, farmers will have touser technologies that simplyreduce nutrient loss into ourrivers and drainage systems.

— Jeff Littrell

NUTRIENTS, from pg. 32synthetic gypsum. He said most plantscommingle their fly ash and bed ash,but ADM actually separates the twowhich provides a much better productfor soils. Fly ash has quantities of heavymetals which concerns environmental-ists. Bed ash doesn’t have the heavymetals which his firm has tested for thelast 20 years through the Midwest labs.

Littrell indicated there are now vari-ous sources of gypsum with most firmsalso doing field spreading. It’s mar-keted as both a soil amendment and anutrient aid. Once your soils havereceived 5-6 years of applications, con-tinued annual applications are likelynot required.

How about spent limestone fromsugar beet plants? Littrell admits tosome conflict on this issue since theadvent of Roundup Ready (glyphosate)was cleared for weed control on sugarbeets. “I personally don’t like to advo-cate ‘beet lime’ as a soil amendment,perhaps biased because we are non-GMO growers. But I know many grow-ers do use beet lime and with good

results. But we’ve run tests on beetlime (Columbia Testing Labs, Wash-ington State) and their data showsthat for every ton of beet lime youspread on fields you’re getting almosta quart of Roundup.

“So my concern is that we alreadyhave used enough Roundup in oursoils so let’s be cautious. If you havenon-GMO beets being used by a beetplant, their limestone product wouldbe a good thing.”

Littrell doesn’t bash companies thatproduce and market Roundup products,but he does suggest that if the productwere used only on one crop we wouldn’tbe seeing the “resistance breaks” thatare now widespread across the Mid-west. That same logic persists withother additives which is why insectproblems, disease problems and otherresistance issues keep surfacing.

“We use gramoxone for burndownbut if we stay with it for 15-20 years Isuspect we’ll have some problems. It’sa matter of doing your due diligence onall your crop inputs,” he said. “Youneed to study and understand the

chemistry of these crop inputs. We’vestepped back in our own operation andnow use more pre-emergence productsplus a closer look at chemistry for thepost-applied products.”

Might there be hybrid differences inregards to nutrient placement?

Littrell said there are some hybridsthat “respond more” to precision place-ment. In their non-GMO production,FHR farms pays particular attentionto the “water holding” capacities of cer-tain fields in regards to which non-GMO hybrids get used. He notedBrazilian data which shows the RRtrait takes 2.2 percent more moistureto grow the same crop.

“As we look at these drier trends inMidwest agriculture we see somethings in regards to trait patterns thatraise some questions,” said Littrell.

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondents Tim King (story) and Jan King (photo)Cooperative effort

Everybody’s Market Cooperative, Long Prairie, Minn.

Last year was the International Year of the Cooper-ative, 168 years after the first modern cooperative

started on Toad Lane in Rochdale, in the UnitedKingdom, back in 1844.

At that time the Rochdale Society of Equitable Pio-neers had a vision. They envisioned a cooperativeorganization. Their organization would serve themembership and the membership would own theorganization and receive its profit. Membershipwould be open, voluntary, and democratic. These neworganizations would serve members economicallyand educationally.

The Rochdale Pioneers laid out these ideas andlived by them. Their cooperatives were successful andtheir principles became the guiding principles for theinternational cooperative movement for generations.

Minnesota has always had a strong cooperative move-ment. In the 1860s and 1870s farmers, tired of poortreatment from private storeowners, formed their owncooperative stores across Minnesota’s farm country.

A hundred years later, rural and urban Min-nesotans, who were looking for an alternative toincreasingly processed food turned again to the coop-erative model founded by those British pioneers.

“Next year will be our 35th year,” said KayBradlich, of Everybody’s Market Cooperative in LongPrairie. “I don’t know if we were the first but we wereone of the first cooperatives to start back then. A lotof us started in the 1970s.”

In the 1970s young people were looking for simplefoods such as whole-wheat flower, oatmeal, and driedfruits in bulk produced without chemicals. Those peo-ple also found the idealism of the Rochdale Pioneersand the Minnesota immigrant farmers appealing.

Today, many of the products that were sold by thecooperatives in the 1970s are now labeled organicand have become part of the huge organic industry.

“We were out in front on that,” Bradlich said. “Wewere also way ahead on the local foods movement.Co-ops have always supported buying from localfarmers and craftsman.”

The cooperative movement comes, goes, and comesback again. Many of those 1970s co-ops are gone butothers, like those in Windom, Ortonville, Blue Earth,Hackensack and Ely have prospered.

Organic bulk foods are still central to the businessof those co-ops. But so are other things like cannedand frozen organic foods, vitamin supplements,locally produced maple syrup, gluten-free flour, anddrinks made without high fructose corn syrup,according to Bradlich.

But continued membership involvement in a cooper-ative is as important as the products it sells, she said. ❖
