INSIDE THIS ISSUE:
With sweet corn festivals about tounload on Midwestern residents, I’m tak-ing you on a history tour of how Olivia,Minn., where I hang out, became knownas the Corn Capital of Minnesota.
Before I forget, a reminder that on July30, Olivia will be hosting its annualsweet corn feed. Mother Nature needs toget in high gear, but the Schmoll family,south of Olivia that has been Olivia’ssweet corn provider for several years, is“reasonablly confident” sweet corn will beready by July 30.
Now a bit of history on how this prairie townbecame Minnesota’s Corn Capital.
First of all, it should be noted that Olivia is inRenville County. Renville County traditionallyranks as the No. 1 corn and soybean producingcounty in Minnesota, perennially producing 40 mil-lion-plus bushels of cornand upwards of 8 millionbushels of soybeans. In2010, with near-perfectconditions from start tofinish, the county cameever so close to its first50 million bushel corncrop.
Even though “official”U.S. Department of Agriculture statistics aren’t yetavailable, those 236,000 acres of Renville Countycorn put the average yield right at 200 bushels peracre according to the Renville County Farm ServiceAgency office. So “bragging rights” seemed proper ascorn is indeed king in Olivia.
However, claims by Olivia locals that their townwas rather special didn’t go unnoticed within theCorn Belt. In 2003, the village of Constantine,Mich., took issue with the Olivia Chamber of Com-merce which was unabashedly proclaiming Olivia asthe “Corn Capital.” In fact the Constantine, Mich.,Chamber of Commerce challenged Olivia, evenagreeing to visit Olivia for a face-to-face discussionof this issue.
In 2004, the visit did happen. The mayor of Con-stantine brought himself and four other city officialsto Olivia, the last weekend in July, which just hap-pened to be Olivia’s “world famous” Corn CapitalDays.
As part of that event, Olivia Chamber ManagerGary Herman and Olivia Mayor Bill Miller hadcooked up a special “Corn Olympics” challenge forthe Constantine visitors. Each person in their visit-
ing five-member delegation was given thechallenge of how far, and how straight,they could throw an ear of corn. Next eachparticipant turned backwards to see howfar, and again how straight, they couldthrow an ear of corn backwards over theirshoulder. According to Herman, “As Irecall, our five-man crew beat the Michi-gan crew by at least a couple of inches.”
The Olivia-Constantine challengebecame a remarkable news-makingbrouhaha. Olivia eventually decided a visitto Constantine was necessary to properly
establish who did have “bragging rights.” After visit-ing Constantine, the Olivia delegation did acceptthat just maybe this Michigan community did havemore seed corn acres within a 50-mile radius. ButRenville County definitely grew more corn and thefact that Olivia already had nine seed firms in towncertainly was evidence of a stronger “seed industry”
presence throughout theworld.
The net result? The Olivia folks told the
Constantine folks theycould boast as being the“Seed Corn Capital.”However, Olivia wouldrightfully boast as being
“The Corn Capital.” Even Minnesota politicians goton board. The Minnesota State Legislature signed aresolution designating Olivia as the “Corn Capital ofMinnesota.”
Today, Olivia, the county seat of Renville Countyhas a 2010 Census population of 2,680. More impor-tantly, 14 seed companies now have a presence inOlivia.
Among the nearly 200 local employees of these 14companies are five PhD plant geneticists, referred toby Olivians as “corn doctors.” One of these “corn doc-tors” now has 31 U.S. patents and continues to earnnew patents because of his ongoing break-throughresearch genetics. He started as a plant breederwith DeKalb at their Olivia research facility. DeKalbis now owned by Monsanto, and this Olivia geneti-cist has more patents than anyone in the entireMonsanto organization.
Don’t forget: you’re all invited to Olivia the week-end of July 29-31. The good Lord willing, we’ll havefresh Renville County sweet corn for all of you.

Rupert Murdoch camebefore a House of Commonscommittee investigating themisdeeds of his company’sBritish newspapers with hisheart on his sleeve. Hecalled the day of his testi-mony, July 19, “the mosthumble day of my life.”
Humbling or not, he leftthe hearing unbowed.
Murdoch’s explanation ofwhat his firm’s reportersand editors did in pursuitof flashy, trashy storieswas disjointed and disin-genuous. Moreover, he was defiant.“No,” was his one-word answer to thequestion of whether he, the boss, wasresponsible for any of the disreputableactions of News Corp.
That he reached the ripe age of 80before experiencing his most humiliat-ing day is both lucky and pathetic.Lucky in that he reached 80 beforehaving it; pathetic in that he reached80 before having to finally answer forthe smut, smears and slop he’s prof-itably peddled on three continents forover five decades.
The latter says much about the for-
mer. It’s not that Murdochavoided his bad day for solong because of wealth orpolitical connections —although he has buckets ofboth from his native Aus-tralia to his adopted Amer-ica.
No, his Teflon came mostlyfrom the sensational dirt hiscompany’s newspapers dugup or bought, then dished,on enemies. Little wonder
British prime ministerskissed his pinky ring and
lined up to hire hisstaffers. They were buying protectionfrom Murdoch’s Fleet Street bullies,not professionalism.
They got protection, all right, andbushels of rotten baloney.
No one in American journalismshould get too smug over Murdoch’smess. While our brand of reporting maynot be as cheeky or cheesy as theBritish tabloids, we’ve published ourshare of inky and electronic stinkbombs, too.
The fast, awful smear of U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture official ShirleySherrod comes to mind as one of jour-
nalism’s many print-first, report-latermoments.
Another is the ongoing, orchestratedsmear of J. Dudley Butler, administra-tor of USDA’s Grain Inspection, Pack-ers and Stockyards Administration.
From the Colorado offices of theNational Cattlemen’s Beef Associationto Senate and House hearing rooms onCapitol Hill, nearly every reference toButler and his agency’s proposals toupdate GIPSA’s rules contains a flatlie: that on Aug. 7, 2009, Butler pub-licly proclaimed a rule that would notbe published in the Federal Registeruntil June 22, 2010, “a trial lawyer’sdream.”
How did Butler pull off that incredi-ble feat of clairvoyance — offer com-mentary on a rule that was more than10 months from birth?
The NCBA has never said.The giant meatpackers, who are
spending millions to defeat the rule,have never said.
The U.S. senators who repeat the liehave never said.
The House ag committee memberswho repeatedly repeat the lie havenever said.
But that hasn’t stopped the liefrom being embellished andrepeated in public and in print. OnJuly 15, BEEF magazine againbreathed life into the lie by postinga column by a contributing editorthat contained a fancy version of it.The contributor, Troy Marshall, whose
bio says he was a market analyst andnow is a rancher, wrote, “For instance,GIPSA head J. Dudley Butler’s com-ments about the new rule being a triallawyer’s dream were deemed to be sodamaging to the rule’s prospects thatproponents tried to claim the meaningwas taken out of context.”
Which proponents? When and wherewere the claims made?
Marshall doesn’t say because he can-not: Butler never — couldn’t — com-ment on a rule that didn’t exist andvideo, audio and transcripts of theAugust 2009 remarks prove it.
But proof won’t slay the lie and itspeddlers. Like baloney, they add justenough real meat to make it appeal-ing. Anyway you slice it, though, it’sstill pure baloney.

Livestock producers who incur eligi-ble livestock death losses due to therecent extreme temperatures andother adverse weather events may beeligible for the U.S. Department ofAgriculture Farm Service Agency’sLivestock Indemnity Program.
“Producers who suffered eligible live-stock losses due to adverse weather willbe required to provide documentation ofthe livestock lost and documentation oflosses due to normal mortality for thecalendar year,” said Linda Hennen, stateFSA executive director. “FSA staff canprovide producers with a list of accept-able loss documentation that includesproof of death, producer records and ver-ifiable inventory documentation.”
For livestock losses that occur in calen-dar year 2011, producers will have until,the earlier of, 30 days after the livestockloss become apparent to file a notice ofloss to the FSA, or no later than Oct. 31,2011. In addition, producers will haveuntil Jan. 30, 2012, to apply for payment.
Adequate documentation must provethe death of eligible livestock occurred asa direct result of an eligible adverseweather event in the calendar year for
which benefits are being requested. Ifadequate verifiable proof of death recordsdocumentation is not available, a live-stock producer may provide reliablerecords, along with verifiable beginningand ending inventory, as proof of death.
Certifications of livestock deaths bythird parties, who are not affiliated withthe farming operation, may be acceptedonly if verifiable proof of death records orreliable proof of death records is not avail-able. Verifiable beginning and endinginventory records are also required withsuch third party certifications.
LIP payments for livestock ownersare based on 75 percent of the fair mar-ket value of the livestock and contractgrowers can be compensated at 75 per-cent of the average income loss sus-tained, as determined by the FSA.
Producers need to contact their localFSA county office to sign up for LIP.Producers can also learn more aboutLIP by visiting www.fsa.usda.gov.

ESSAGE >>
By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer
Remember the “old days” when a cornfield class-room was a seed company rep and maybe a researchtechnician standing around at a corn variety showplot? The topics would be how to select genetics, howto fertilize, how to control weeds and when to har-vest. The product standing in front of you prettymuch told the story.
But in late-June in the parking lot at Max’s Grillin Olivia, Minn., the classroom took on differentdimensions. Producers, on an invitation basis,stepped inside a spacious, neatly painted 60-footsemi trailer. Air conditioning, electronically con-trolled lighting and four rows of comfortable seatsresembled the comfort of a modern GPS-equippedtractor. Slide-out sides generously expand the “the-ater” to accommodate up to 60 farmers per showing,which included a 26-foot-wide screen projecting adazzling array of information — what happens if youplant too fast; if you have uneven seed drop; if seed-to-soil contact is inconsistent; if you have variableseed depth.
“This show-on-wheels is by Planter TechnologyInstitute of Trimont, Ill.,” said Pioneer sales repChad Hoffbeck of Morgan, Minn. “I’ve been doingprecision planting workshops at my farm dealershipsince 2000. With the high cost of crop production, wesimply want to help farmers get the most out of theircrops, regardless the cards dealt by Mother Nature.We started with seed metering but precision plant-ing has now advanced to monitors, controlling downforce, sensing seed drop, etc.”
As both a farmer and seedman, Hoffbeck said gen-eral maintenance of planters on a yearly basis is goodreturn for money spent. Planting too fast is still a cul-prit with some but he says farmers have dropped theirplanting speed dramatically over the past 10 years.
“Farmers are doing much better with the entire plant-ing operation as they better understand the value, thepotential payoff if you do it right,” he said. “Quite a fewguys have told me that buying a bigger planter andslowing down to 4, 4 1/2 mph has been a definite value.”
Last year was the first year for this semi-trailer/trac-tor rig that moves this precision planting classroomaround the nation. Hoffbeck was the first in Minnesotato utilize this half-million dollar unit last year. It hastraveled to virtually every state where corn is grown,
with a two-man presentation crew explaining the goodand the bad of what happens in your corn field depend-ing upon your planting skills and, of course, the equip-ment you’re running.
“It’s a three-hour presentation with a five-minutebreak midway,” he said. “Because of the continualaction they don’t take questions until the presentationis wrapped up. However, with certainty I can say thatthis is a presentation that won’t be forgotten. Totalcomfort, a continual display of changing situations anda very articulate message by the two technicians trav-eling with the unit makes quite an impression.”
The tag line on the 16-page color handout preciselyexplains the mission: “Tools for improving your depthcontrol, your singulation, your seed environment andyour yield.” As you might expect, several productsare positioned, such as 20/20 SeedSense, a monitorthat not only reports population, but skips and dou-bles so you can find, fix and move on. It not onlyshows you miles per hour but also row unit ride, soyou can hit the sweet spot for speed.
Seed metering gets special mention in this show. Forevery missed seed when planting, every skip, you sub-tract one plant from your harvest. Do that 5 percent ofthe time and you’ve just lost 5 percent of your yield.You should be getting 98 percent or better accuracyfrom your meters, but typical meters run at only 92percent to 97 percent. When every percent is worth $5per acre, seed metering takes on extra significance.

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer
When Joe and Blanche Faheystarted their Belle Plaine,Minn., auction business in 1947each event was “live and in per-son.” The auctioneer’s chant setthe pace, and his skills also setthe final selling price. Joe Faheywas a 1947 graduate from anationally famous Mason City, Iowa,auctioneering school. He was ready toput his pipes (chanting) to work.
Today Jim Fahey, 51, his wife, Linda,and two nephews own and operateFahey Sales, headquartered at Hutchin-son, Minn. They do literally hundreds ofauctions across theMidwest and evenmore distant loca-tions. Today, theyrarely do a “live”auction.
What’s hap-pened? The internetand online auctionshave taken overthis vast industrywhich, in a literalsense, controls theeconomic activity ofmuch of Americaeach and every day.
“There are so many external influ-ences now affecting the day-to-dayactivity of farming and agriculture. Wetruly do live and operate in a worldmarket today,” Jim Fahey said. “Bestexample is how commodity prices todayhave suddenly become the key driver offarmland sales, new and used farmequipment, cash rents, even to someextent the price of ag chemicals andseeds. Commodity prices, in turn, arebeing impacted daily, almost hourly, bythings happening around the world.”
He mentions the ethanol industry andthe entire renewable fuels program willhave an even bigger impact on futureauctions of Fahey Sales and every otheroutfit in the buying and selling of agri-cultural products; be that land, steel, orcorn and soybeans. Turbines and windfarms are also now sprouting acrossMinnesota and much of the Upper Mid-west. Does Fahey think these develop-ments are affecting land prices? It’s rareto get an auctioneer without an opinionon most any issue. But Jim Fahey atthis stage pleads ignorance.
“We just don’t yet have enough experi-ence in our marketing area with windfarms. But we do know the positiveinfluence of an ethanol plant in anygiven community, both in terms ofemployment for several people at the
plant and, of course, proppingup the local market for corn. Sowhether you are a farmer-mem-ber of a plant, or merely deliver-ing corn to that plant, there aresome economic bonuses.”Good farm equipment is ‘hot’
He’s also matter-of-fact aboutthe red hot market for farmequipment. “That statement
that ‘If it’s good, regardless the age, itsells,’ is 100 percent on the money,”Fahey said. Again we’re seeing theinternet market strongly affecting theselling of older, outdated equipment.“Get it posted on the internet whereevery/any potential buyer can see the
item and invari-ably it sells, gener-ally at a betterprice than if youwere doing a live,farm auction ofthat equipment.”
In recent yearshe mentions thestrong marketinfluence of “hobbyfarmers” mostlyliving in the TwinCities suburbanareas with a fewextra acres.“Hobby farmers
are much more sophisticated today.Equipment manufactures spotted thatand started making smaller, handierpieces of equipment for planting, till-ing, harvesting, etc. Also, most hobbyfarmers have a steady income to jus-tify their ‘spending’ for their hobbyfarming appetite. And these folksaren’t bashful about the internet.
“So we’re seeing a resurgence of thisolder, smaller farm equipment and, ofcourse, the newer, more modern stuff isselling like hot cakes,” Fahey said.Global sales
In 2010, Fahey Sales sold two con-tainers of old corn pickers — ear-cornpickers of vintage 1950s or older — toPeru. These old pickers were disman-tled to better fit inside the two ship-ping containers, which obviouslymeant the buyer in Peru had mechani-cal skills lined up to reassemble thepickers. But it wasn’t just Peruvianfarmers cashing in on the mechanics ofold, used corn pickers. Also last year,Fahey Sales sold containers of pickersto Egypt, Belgium, Germany, Lebanon,Mexico and Canada. Improved worldeconomies are driving these sales, butthe No. 1 reason is internet access.
“Now they have the ability to com-fortably bid in their own time frame.
Another very real factor is our weakU.S. dollar. It simply buys more com-pared to other world currencies.”
Overseas buyers want lots of informa-tion about what they are buying; FaheySales staff to the rescue. “Our catalogsliterally contain photos of hundreds ofpieces of equipment; even close-ups ofspecial features of a given piece of equip-ment. So what you see in newsprint isjust a small part of the total informationpackage on a given piece of equipment.We use newsprint today to driveprospective buyers, both locally andworldwide, to our internet website. And
there they see multiple photos of agiven piece of equipment, even the rearends of tractors to show the hydraulicoutlets, the hitch package, and such.”
The obvious question when gettinginto overseas selling has to deal withcredit. Is there even such a thing ascredit in internet transactions?
“At first we were skeptical,” Faheyadmitted, “but after using it for a fewyears we’ve come to find out that thenumber of honorable people is prettyconsistent regardless of if you are

AUCTIONS, from pg. 11Adealing with them face-to-face oronline. So the percentage of problemsis similar wherever the transaction.
“One positive about online auctionsis that you still have the asset untilthat check arrives. With live farmauctions, you may have a buyer’scheck but both he and his purchaseare gone before you can verify theaccuracy of his check.”
Part of the Fahey reputation is thatthey always guarantee settlement totheir sellers so there are no disadvan-tages to the seller. The bonus is expo-sure to potentially hundreds more buy-ers. But online selling has presentedsome challenges to Fahey Sales. “We’vereconfigured how to do business, andrestructured our staffing levels also.Selling on the internet involves trans-ferring of funds, plus managing thatparticular asset until payment isreceived. But even then shipping pro-cedures need to be worked out with theasset managed all the way until it goesinto that particular shipping con-tainer.” Buyers pay transportation.
All real estate sales online“We have now converted our real estate
sales totally to online auctions,” Faheysaid. “We just don’t do live real estateauctions anymore. It’s simply better forbuyers to bid in anonymity. Sellers like it,too, because there’s no opportunity for‘personalities’ to influence a sale.”
Fahey puts it rather concisely whenhe said, “we’ve eliminated ‘MinnesotaNice’ because that works as a disadvan-tage to the buyer.” Anonymous biddinglets neighbors in confidence and with-out emotion bid against each other.
Trend lines in the auction business?Fahey predicts his firm will be totallyan online auction company before heretires. He said this is a bit of a senti-mental journey for their 67-year-old
family company. “We have severalaward-winning chanters on our staffand to think the auctioneer’s chant issoon a thing of the past is a bit dis-heartening,” he said.
Putting a farm auction together takestime and labor. Fahey said they havecrews that go to a farm several days inadvance of sale day to pull machineryout of sheds and groves, to wash up par-ticular pieces of equipment, to get thevarious pieces lined up in a logical sell-ing sequence on the farm yard, etc.Going totally online still involves thepiece-by-piece inspection and cleaningof equipment. But it also involves hun-dreds of photographs of the equipment,close-up shots, VIN numbers, even per-centage of rubber on tires, perhaps
maintenance history, plus wording thatbest describes each item being offeredfor sale; all this information for prepa-ration of the online auction catalog.
What’s next? Perhaps even livevideos showing the particular equip-ment in action. Already they canrecord the sounds of a tractor enginerunning so a prospective buyer canhear the actual sound of the tractor.
“So as we deal with younger con-sumers you have to present severalphotos of each item, describe in vividword language the item, even crank itup so a potential buyer can hear how itsounds. Some of today’s consumersactually think it’s almost arrogant onour part when we tell them if theywant to bid on any of this equipment,you have to be here at 1 p.m. causethat’s when our auction starts. Theywant to bid in virtual time from thecozy comfort of their own home, orfarm office, drinking their own coffee.”
The good news of online auctions is alarger, younger and much broader baseof consumers. But he admits that

The National Consumers Leaguenoted a growing trend involving olderconsumers who are targeted by conartists and fraudsters. Baby boomersand older consumers made up morethan half of all complaints to the NCL’sFraud Center in 2010.
Elderly victims may not reportcrimes because they are concernedthat relatives may think they nolonger have the mental capacity totake care of their own financial affairs.When an elderly victim does report thecrime, they often make poor witnesses.Con artists know the effects of age onmemory, and they are counting on eld-erly victims not being able to supplyenough detailed information to investi-gators. In addition, it may take the vic-tim months before they realize theyhave been swindled. This extendedtimeframe makes it even more difficultto remember details from the events.
Never give out personal informationon the phone, through the mail or overthe internet unless you know withwhom you are dealing.

Be smart about online cons
AUCTIONS, from pg. 12Agoing through this “decade of transition” is a chal-lenge for older buyers. Fahey Sales helps this audi-ence with special staffers actually connecting by tele-phone to some of these buyers during the course of anonline auction. The firm now even hires a third-partycatalog service that provides interpreters to handlebidders using languages other than English. This“proxy bidding” services 1,400 other auction compa-nies so there is an increase in exposure for each par-ticular auction. Because of this “pooling action” thecost of advertising an auction keeps going down.
“Once you run across these buyers electronicallyyou are able to keep them in your database and com-municate with them specifically as to their particu-lar interest,” Fahey said.
Does farm equipment sell better at the farm, orwhen it’s combined with other farmers’ equipmentas part of a bigger consignment sale? Selling at thefarm does better, Fahey said, particularly if it’s afarmer with a solid reputation for good farming andtaking good care of his equipment. And again that’sthe beauty of online auctions. You can “be at thefarm” selling even just a few pieces of equipment.
“This new trend isn’t so good for the lunch wagons thatgenerally do quite well at a public auction.” He said thatonline auctions also take away the social atmospherethat is always part of a public auction. “In some cases alive auction is an extension of the grieving process forfamily members selling because of a death in the family.But unfortunately that is the world we live in today.”Flexibility
Citing the flexibility that online auctions provide,he mentioned a consignment auction at New Prague,Minn., that had been scheduled for last Dec. 2. Amajor snow storm suddenly developed that wouldhave made a live auction virtually impossible. TheFahey crew converted the entire thing to an onlineauction, making that decision about six hours beforethe storm hit. “You blast out the e-mails, you post iton Facebook, you Twitter out the change. Only aboutsix people showed up for the auction but going onlinemade it an extremely successful auction.”
Farm auctions used to be cyclical and seasonal. Butagain thanks to online and a nationwide and world-wide audience, there’s always someone in a positionto bid and buy.
Dollar volume of an auction, land and equipment, is bigmoney these days. Fahey said they have had farm auc-tions in excess of 3,000 individual pieces being sold. Pack-aging both land and equipment together, he said theirlargest sale to date would be in the $5 million range.
His take on the future centers on the brutal fact thatmany families, both farm and non-farm, are not doingvery well financially these days. “We’re living in two dif-ferent worlds.Our agricultural community gets more andmore productive but there are less and less of them. AndI’m seeing how difficult it is for our younger people want-ing to get into agriculture but financially can’t make itwork.That bothers me and I don’t know the answer.”
Today Fahey Sales is having fun, but that wasn’tthe case during that 2005-08 timeframe when Amer-ica’s total economy started backsliding, wiping outlots of farmers and businessmen in the process. “In
2008 everything came to a stop. We thrive on changebut in 2008 change didn’t happen. People weren’tmaking good decisions; they weren’t making baddecisions. People just quit making decisions. But nowI’m excited about the future. I get a kick out of people
who are critical of our agricultural industry, whetherit be the food-versus-fuel debate or their complaintsthat farmers are making too much money. I wouldmuch rather see a bunch of millionaire farmers thana bunch of millionaire Wall Street investors.”
With online, global buyers, auctions no longer seasonal 13A

By TIM KINGThe Land Correspondent
If you drive on Inter-state 94 throughStearns County, Minn.,you may have noticed the toweringred brick church on the north side ofthe highway in the town of Albany.That’s the Catholic Church of theSeven Dolors.
It has been a landmark for travelerssince it was completed in 1900. Johnand Robert Roscoe, in their book“Legacies of Faith: The CatholicChurches of Stearns County” pointout that the exterior of the Church ofthe Seven Dolors is of Gothic andRomanesque architecture. I havealways failed at the recognition and
naming of architecturalstyles. But, I have beenpassing by The Church ofSeven Dolors throughoutmy entire life and I always take note ofits elegant beauty and the sense of per-manence that it communicates to me. Isuspect that it communicates to me,and thousands of others, the samemessage that the ancient churches andcathedrals of Europe communicate topeople who regularly see them: Therestill is beauty in this world; there aresome things that don’t change.
The Roscoe brothers, Robert anarchitect and John a life-long residentof Stearns County, were inspired bythis very message on their first visit tothe Church of Seven Dolors.
The architecture we were seeing sur-passed all but a few ofchurches recentlyvisited in northernrural Italy — care-fully proportionedfeatures, sensitivelyrendered detail, andoverall magnificence.
“Legacies of Faith”tells the story of theChurch of Seven Dolorsand Doug Ohman’s pho-tographs make the storysparkle. Ohman capturesthe beauty of the buildingwith a great exterior shotof the church at sunset.Then he takes the readerinside to look at the altar, richly col-ored stained glass windows, the detailof the woodwork in the pews, and thegrandeur of the high-ceilinged interior.
Had Stearns County only one churchlike Albany’s, “Legacies of Faith” wouldnot have been written and pho-tographed. It has 55 of them, however.The towns and villages of StearnsCounty contain a stunning treasuretrove of architectural detail and mag-nificence. And, unlike many churchesin Europe, all of them are in an excel-lent state of repair.
The Roscoes break their book intothree sections. The first section, titledThe Early Churches, includes 39churches built between 1871 and 1930.These include three churches in St.Cloud but also in villages like Opole,Farming, Jacobs Prairie, and Luxem-berg.
“Legacies of Faith” tells the story ofthe church of St. Margaret, in LakeHenry, in a manner similar to others.The Roscoe brothers tell a brief storyof the formation of the parish and itshistory. That was in the early 1850s forLake Henry. They write about the deci-sion and timing of the church construc-tion as well as the architectural style.They include a narrative about thechurch’s architectural details and they
include a brief discussion of any mod-ern renovations to the church.
The stained glass windows in St.Margaret’s are a prominent feature ofthis church and Doug Ohman does anice job of photographing them whilethe Roscoes explain how they fit intothe architectural whole. The readerleaves the short chapter on St. Mar-garet’s feeling that they’ve just toureda place of unique beauty and that theyunderstand a little more about thearchitecture that created that feeling.
The second section of “Legacies ofFaith” is focused on the ModernChurches, or those builtbetween 1941 and 2000. Thereare 17 of these. St. Cloud againfeatures a number of them butthere are interesting andarchitecturally inspirationalbuildings in Cold Spring,Brooten, Belgrade, and inCollegeville at St. John’sAbbey.
One of the most interest-ing is the tiny AssumptionChapel, or GrasshopperChapel, built near ColdSpring in 1952. TheChurch of St. Boniface, in
the town of Cold Spring, is also fea-tured. The Roscoes have less to sayabout modern churches, and Ohmanhas less to show, than they do of theolder churches. However, from per-sonal experience, I can say that a visitto St. Boniface or to the Abbey churchat Collegeville can communicate atleast some of the overall magnificenceand grandeur that the Roscoes feltwhen they first visited the Church ofSeven Dolors.
There is a third section to “Legaciesof Faith.” For me, as someone who hasseen many of these churches for a life-time, the Introduction and the twoshort chapters on Settlement Historyand Architecture of the Churches helpgive the individual chapters on all thechurches some context. These threechapters help explain why this magnif-icent collection of buildings is inStearns County and not, for example,where I live.
If you can’t afford, or don’t have timefor, a trip to see Europe’s churches andcathedrals this summer get a copy of“Legacies of Faith.” Read it, then get inthe car with your family and take aroad trip to see Stearns County’s lega-cies of faith.
The book was published by NorthStar Press in 2009 and should beavailable from your local library orfrom bookstores.

Grain AnglesChallenging timesin grain markets
Driving the back roads of the northern Corn Beltthese last two weeks has shown me a great deal ofvariation in crop development.
Some of the crops look fantastic, while later-planted crops struggle to catch up. The heat unitshave really kicked these cropsinto gear. After a week of veryhigh temperatures, crops had todraw on the moisture profile,leaving some fields longing foranother rain. Yet, other fieldswere trying to drain flood waters.
As I have said in previouscolumns, it is all about weatherthis time of year.
We have a country of contrastthis summer, with hope-crushingdrought in the southern Plainsand devastating flooding in theMissouri and Mississippi rivervalleys. This all leads to challenges that most of oururban neighbors would find unbearable.
Yet, the farmer is always the bullish optimist out ofnecessity. If we lose hope for the next year, we wouldnever be able to find the strength to put the seed inthe ground next spring. Growing up and farming inwestern Kansas, we called it, “Next Year Country.”
The news has been dominated with monetary talkfrom Europe and concern about global financialstrength. China has been an active buyer of new cropcorn and the U.S. Department of Agriculture isrecounting planted acres in the northern Corn Belt.
Both Washington and state governments aresearching for answers to difficult budgetary matters,with little hope for a meaningful solution. These con-
Grain OutlookCorn trading onfuture weather
Editor’s Note: Tim Emslie, Country Hedging marketanalyst, is sitting in this week for Phyllis Nystrom,the regular “Grain Outlook” columnist.

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing July 22.
CORN — The corn marketlived up to its name as a futuresmarket this week, trading theextended weather forecasts moreclosely than the current weather.The new-crop contract closedjust a 1/2-cent higher eventhough the hottest weather inseveral years hit the Corn Belt.
December corn had rallied 48cents the previous week in antici-pation of the heat, and the mar-ket spent the week of July 18 try-ing to determine when therewould be some relief. Weekly condition ratingsshowed a three-point decline in the good-to-excellentcategory, the biggest drop since September 2008.Conditions ratings are expected to decline further,but there was some precipitation that gave some for-tunate areas some defense against the heat.
The seven-day precipitation map as of July 23showed the best rains were along the northern andeastern edges of the Corn Belt, with the driestweather extending from the southwest into centralIllinois and Indiana. Yield estimates are driftingbelow the July U.S. Department of Agriculture fore-cast of 158.7 bushels per acre, centering around themid-150s right now.
Export demand was quiet during the week with no
Livestock AnglesMarkets runninglike the weather
One thing about the livestock markets over thepast year is that they are a lot like the weather. If youdo not like what you have one day, wait and thingswill change quickly the next day.
Volatility has become the norm with livestockprices and because of the highprice values associated with live-stock today, it will not cease any-time soon.
A perfect example of thiserratic and sharp price move-ments is the cattle market. Oneweek the price of finished cattleare experiencing a sharp rallyand the following week the are ina steep decline. The fundamen-tals of the market seem to beignored from time to time untilthe market has moved too far inone direction.
At that point the realization that the prices are out ofline and the quick correction occurs. The good newsabout these erratic moves is that it provides opportuni-ties for producers and end-users alike to secure theirproduct at beneficial prices. The recent rally in the cat-tle market was an example of the money being the driv-ing force in the market instead of supply and demand.
The fundamentals are not particularly positive atthis time as the supply of cattle is far greater than thecurrent demand for beef. However, the commodityfunds were looking to establish a long position in thecattle futures, and the number of contracts involvedoverwhelmed the futures and pushed prices higher.
Because packers work off the basis, this opened thedoor for them to increase their bids for live inventory

EMSLIE, from pg. 18Asales reaching the 100,000 metric-tonthreshold to trigger a daily salesannouncement. The weekly totals for both old andnew crop declined from the previous week coming inat 429,000 mt and 473,000 mt, respectively. Weeklyethanol production rose only 1,000 barrels per day to873,000 barrels. Ethanol production has now beenbelow 900,000 barrels per day for two consecutiveweeks for the first time since mid-May.
Ethanol margins appear to be positive, but if the recentslowdown in production is sustained nonetheless, theUSDA’s estimate of 5,050 million bushels for ethanolusage will turn out to be overstated. Some have specu-lated that the heat is responsible for reduced ethanol pro-duction due to a combination of electricity restrictions andoperational slowdowns because of the difficulty of dryingand cooling the dried distillers grains in hot weather.
There were some developments regarding the
third major usage category — feed —this week. We’ve been hearing reports
of wheat feeding in the southernplains as wheat harvest nears completion. Feedlotsrequire assurance of consistent supply in order tomake the switch, and are bidding for multi-monthpackages. The other major development regardingfeed usage estimates was the Cattle on Feed reporton July 22. Placements were 104 percent of the pre-vious year; expectations were for 94 percent. Appar-ently the on-going drought in the Southwest pushedmany more cattle than expected into feedlots. This isbearish for cattle prices in the short-term, but indi-cates feed demand will stay strong.
OUTLOOK: It’s been said for many months that anearly perfect growing season would be needed tobuild stocks in 2011, but the weather this week wasfar from perfect. December corn rallied $1.28 fromthe July 1 low to the July 19 high in response, andwhether or not the heat returns in August will deter-
mine the direction from here. Some farmer sellingwas noted when the December contract hit $7. Thefirst resistance level will be the weekly high of$7.03 3/4. Retracement support on the chart will beprovided at $6.55 and $6.40.
SOYBEANS — Soybeans actually had a quiettrading week despite the intense focus on weather.The November contract was just 1 1/4 cents higheron the week, trading in a fairly narrow daily range.Conviction about yield gains or losses is difficult todevelop ahead of the reproductive stage, which thefairly stable market is reflecting. Weekly conditionratings dropped two points in the good-to-excellentcategory, and a further drop is expected for thereport as of July 24.
Weekly export sales were fairly routine at 257,000mt for old-crop and 189,000 mt for new crop. Therewas a daily sales announcement of 220,000 mt toChina for 2011-12. It was reported that China wantsto move another 4 million mt out of state reserves,while also removing the price caps on vegetable oil.The price caps and release of state reserves in anattempt to contain food inflation since Novemberhave resulted in the export slowdown.
OUTLOOK: The November contract traded above$14 again during the week, but failed to close abovethat level. The highest close for November soybeanshas been $13.99 3/4 back in February. While Julyweather is important, the key for soybeans will beAugust weather. The Corn Belt will get some relieffrom the heat during the last week of July, but if theheat rebuilds from the Southwest during August,the market will be quick to react. Resistance is atthe weekly high of $14.09 1/2, and support is at$13.50. Longer-term uptrend line support is cur-rently at about $13.10. If yield expectations fallcloser to 40 bu./acre, a challenge of the 2011 high onthe continuous chart near $14.55 would be expected.

TEALE, from pg. 18Aand hedge the finished product. The problem latelyhas been with the increase in the beef cutout, onceagain the volume in the boxed beef trade has slowed.Thus leaving the cattle market in a precarious posi-tion of being too high to sustain current levels.
Demand will be the price determining factor in themonths ahead, not supply. Producers should con-tinue to take advantage of the sharp rallies to pro-tect their inventories.
The hog market has been volatile as well, but in adifferent way. After establishing a seasonal high thisspring the market was on the decline due theincrease in market-ready hogs and the declining sea-sonal demand for pork. Then along came the Chineseto purchase U.S. pork and the hog futures immedi-ately experienced a sharp rally in response to theannouncement. The only caveat to this announce-
ment was that the cash market had little if anyresponse to this event and futures began to slideonce again.
As pork cutouts move higher one will have to won-der if the domestic demand will respond as it has inthe beef and decline as the price moves higher. At aminimum it will be at least 30 days before we seeany real effect of the Chinese buying on live prices ifthere is any effect at all.
As with the cattle, hog prices will be determined bydemand more so than by the supply. Producersshould continue to use strength in the market to pro-tect inventories.
Both cattle and hog prices will be influenced by theeconomic decisions made in Washington in the weeksahead. This will more than likely continue to keepboth markets uneasy until some key decisions aremade about the U.S. budget and the debt ceiling.
Meats influenced by D.C. decisions
NEHER, from pg. 18Aditions make for a volatile market and leave most ofus wondering what will happen next.
It is during times of volatility that our manage-ment practices are tested and challenged. Our spiritand determination sets the stage for generations tocome. I will always remember sitting around thesupper table on hot, dry nights in July, wondering ifthat “million-dollar rain” would ever come in time tosave the crops.
I can still hear my Grandmother expressing herstress and anxiety, while Grandpa ate his supper.When she finally wore herself out, he would calmlysay: “Mommy, I guess we will have to do like we usedto. We will just take what we get.”
This never made her feel any better, but she knewit was the truth.
Grandpa was not fatalistic, rather he was a realist.He knew that there were things that he could control
and influence, while other things were out of his con-trol. He knew the importance of a strong work ethicand the value of timely application. He also knew thatmodesty and humility were more important than pride.
Farming through the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, helearned the value of “saving some today, to playtomorrow.” He knew that building a strong balancesheet and working capital was the best form of self-insurance available. It was out of this strength, thathe was able to sleep at night; knowing that he hadgiven it his very best.
As we go forward in these volatile times, let us remem-ber that we are not the first generation that has facedchallenging circumstances. Think back to the genera-tions that have come before us that homesteaded thisland. They left all the security of the “known” and facedthe “unknown” in an attempt to make a better life forthemselves and their families. We come from a long lineof strong genes, for facing times like we experiencetoday. We must give thanks for this inheritance.

This column was written for the mar-keting week ending July 22.
June milk production in the 23 majordairy states slipped to 15.4 billionpounds, according to the U.S. Departmentof Agriculture’s preliminary data, up 1.4percent from June 2010.
May output totaled 16.1 billion afterrevisions added 20 million pounds to lastmonth’s estimate, up 1.6 percent from ayear ago. The 50-state total for June, at16.53 billion pounds, was up 1.1 percentfrom 2010.
Cow numbers in the top 23 dairystates, at 8.46 million head, were up11,000 from May and 106,000 above ayear ago. Output per cow averaged 1,819 pounds, upjust 2 pounds from June 2010.
California production was up 3.4 percent from a yearago, thanks to 19,000 more cows and a 45-pound gainper cow. Wisconsin was down 1.6 percent on a 35-pound loss per cow. Cow numbers were up 4,000 head.New York was up 0.3 percent on a 5-pound gain percow. Cow numbers were unchanged. Idaho was up 5percent on 16,000 more cows and a 40-pound gain percow. Pennsylvania was down 2 percent on a 40-poundloss per cow. Cow numbers were up 2,000. Minnesotawas down 4.6 percent on an 80-pound loss per cow.Cow numbers were up 1,000 head.
The biggest gain was in Texas, up a Texas-sized10.3 percent, thanks to 24,000 more cows and a 75-pound gain per cow. Colorado was next, up 6.8 per-cent, followed by Washington, up 6.3 percent. Min-nesota showed the biggest decline, followed by Ohio,down 4.2 percent, and Illinois, off 3.7 percent.
USDA reports in its weekly update that Californiaproduction has declined in most areas, being
affected by hot weather. Heat is alsoimpacting Midwest and Eastern output asthe “heat dome” covered 1 million squaremiles of the United States.
USDA’s latest Livestock Slaughterreport morning shows 219,000 dairy cowswere culled under federal inspection inJune, 1,000 head fewer than in May, but5,000 more than June 2010. A total ofabout 1.46 million cows were culled in thefirst six months of 2011, up from 1.37 mil-lion in 2010.
The August federal order Class Ibase milk price is $21.43 per hun-dredweight, up 40 cents from July,
$5.66 above August 2010, the highestsince November 2007, and equates to about $1.84 pergallon. The 2011 Class I base average now stands at$18.91, up from $14.74 a year ago and $10.95 in2009. The Class III advanced pricing factor becamethe “higher of” in driving the Class I value and theNational Milk Producers Federation’s Roger Cryandoes not predict a Milk Income Loss Contract pay-ment for producers.

The National Agricultural Statistics Service-sur-veyed butter price averaged $2.0291 a pound, down10.5 cents from July. Nonfat dry milk averaged$1.6571, up a penny. Cheese averaged $2.1308, up33.7 cents, and dry whey averaged 54.7 cents, up 2.7cents.
Cash cheese prices strengthened the third week ofJuly, particularly the block price. It closed Friday at$2.1550/lb., up 9.75 cents on the week, reversingthree weeks of declines, and is 55.25 cents above ayear ago. The barrels closed at $2.1250, up a pennyand a half on the week, and 56.5 cents above a yearago. Nineteen cars of block and only one of barrel
traded hands on the week. The NASS-surveyed U.S.average block price hit $2.1336, up 2.3 cents, whilethe barrels averaged $2.1243, up 2.5 cents.
Jerry Dryer wrote in his July 15 Dairy & Food MarketAnalyst that “Sub-two-dollar cheese prices are not toolikely too soon.” He reports that demand is “holding upmuch better than almost everyone had thought” andthat “Mother Nature is now starting to take a bite out ofthe milk supply and the solids content of the milk.” Oneof his sources told him, “the block price will movethrough the previous high ($2.28) with ease as realitysettles into the marketplace this summer. That reality:There will not be enough cheese to go around this fall.”
■
Cash butter closed a penny higher on bids, at$2.04, 24 cents above a year ago. Nothing was soldon the week. NASS butter averaged $2.0250, down apenny.
The California Milk Producers Council newslettersaid, “there’s increased interest in cream for manu-facture of soft and frozen products, which gives somebutter plants the option to sell cream rather thanbuild butter inventories. Buyers are having to rollthe dice. ... Buy now for the fall and be sure of a fullsupply or wait until prices come down.”
It adds that the USDA’s Dairy Market Newsreports butter sales are “about normal for this timeof year, a surprising observation considering thelevel of retail prices and the listless restaurant busi-ness.” May butter exports were slightly higher thanthe year before, but the MPC warned, “there aresigns that the end of the global shortage of butterfatmay be in sight.”
Prices continued to weaken in the July 19 GlobalDairy Trade (Fonterra) auction. The Chicago Mercan-tile Exchange’s Daily Dairy Report shows theweighted average price for skim milk powder was$1.58/lb., down 20 percent from the June 1 event.Whole milk powder, at $1.58/lb., was down 11 percent,anhydrous milkfat was $2.09/lb., down 19 percent.Cheddar cheese for industrial use debuted on the auc-tion and garnered an average winning bid of $2.10/lb.for September delivery and $1.86 for October.
Speaking of the international market, CooperativesWorking Together accepted six requests this week forexport assistance from Dairy Farmers of Americaand Darigold to sell 1.6 million pounds of Cheddarand Monterey Jack cheese to customers in NorthAfrica, Asia and Central America.

Grade A nonfat dry milk headed the opposite direc-tion closing Friday at $1.5250, down 8.5 cents on theweek. Extra Grade remained at $1.61. NASS powderaveraged $1.6510, down 1.4 cents, and dry wheyaveraged 55.21, up 1.1 cent.
The MPC reports that “buyers of dry whey may bemore interested in looking ahead than are manufac-turers. Supplies are tight in the eastern part of thecountry and in balance elsewhere. Demand is steadyfrom domestic users while exports in April and Maywere lower than the year before as well as the twopreceding months. Production is being controlled bythe rate of cheese manufacturing, which is beinginfluenced by the amount of milk that is available,which is being affected by the weather.”

Milk production continues to rise despite high feedprices, according to the USDA’s Livestock, Dairy, andPoultry Outlook. Climbing domestic commercial useand exports act to keep milk and dairy productprices high, the report said. Cow numbers were fore-cast to fall slightly in 2012, but production isexpected to continue to climb. Higher milk produc-tion will likely lead to lower milk and product pricesin 2012, according to the Outlook.
The June Acreage report indicated that producersplanted 92.3 million acres of corn, up 4.1 millionacres from last year, and the second highest since1944. The prospects for a larger crop in 2010-11, cou-pled with larger beginning stocks, resulted in lowerexpected corn prices compared with last month’sforecast.
Corn prices were forecast at $5.50 to $6.50 abushel. Soybean meal prices were lowered from lastmonth’s forecast to $345 to $375 a ton. While cornand soybean prices in 2011-12 are likely to be lowerthan earlier season expectations, forage prices couldremain near record highs.
Nationally, alfalfa prices set a record high in May.The June Acreage report confirmed expectations thatthe harvested area of alfalfa hay and alfalfa mix-tures had declined from 2010. The expected har-vested area decline, along with severe drought inparts of Texas and the Southwest and excessive wet-ness in parts of the Northwest (which adverselyimpacted first cutting), will keep alfalfa hay priceshigh for the rest of 2011 and into 2012.
“On balance, the change in feed ingredient priceswill offer only scant relief for dairy producers,” theUSDA said, “as the benchmark 16-percent proteinration will likely remain well above 2010 for both thebalance of 2011 and 2012.”

May fluid milk sales totaled about 4.4 billionpounds, according to USDA data, down 1.9 percentfrom May 2010 after adjusting for calendar composi-
tion. Estimated sales of total con-ventional fluid milk products
decreased 2.4 percent while totalorganic fluid products increased 21.9 percent.
The slippage in milk consumption has long plaguedthe industry and was the topic of conversation inMonday’s DairyLine with Dairy Management Inc.’sDavid Pelzer. Per capita consumption has fallen for
all but one of the past 25 plus years, he said, buttotal milk sales continue to grow because the U.S.population is growing.

You can’t tear yourself away from the TV.No, it’s not the season finale of your favorite show,
or another shock-talk fluff piece you’re watching.This is something much more important.
You’re watching reds and oranges swirl around a mapof your area like a toddler’s finger paints. But this is notplaytime: radar tells you what you need to know to staysafe from bad weather, and you can’t tear yourself away.
You know all too well that weather is nothing tomess with. But in the book “The Stormchasers” byJenna Blum, a woman travels into storm country insearch of a tornado that tore her heart away.
Karena Jorge hated birthdays.It wasn’t that she was getting older. No, each succes-
sive birthday was just another reminder that Charleswas missing. It had been decades since she last saw
him, but no matter how muchshe searched, Karena’s twinbrother had disappeared.
But Charles wasn’t dead. Sheknew because of the postings hemade on a stormchaser onlinemessage board, and she under-stood that he was chasing.
All his life, Charles was fasci-nated by severe weather. Hischildhood bedroom was plas-tered with pictures of tornadoes,some of which he had taken him-self. He knew more about meteorology than most weath-ermen, but it wasn’t just a personality quirk. Charlessuffered through periods of obsession and mania, andhe’d spread the suffering to the whole family.
Now, Charles and Karena weren’t just twins.Because their mother had died of lung cancer yearsago, their father was near-incoherent from a stroke,and their stepmother was a Black Widow, Charleswas the only family Karena had, and vice versa.
So when she hitupon the idea towrite an article forher employer, aMinneapolis news-paper, Karenajoined a tour groupof stormchasers andhoped it would leadstraight to Charles.
But somewhere between North Dakota, Nebraska,Kansas and Oklahoma’s panhandle, Karena met some-one who knew Charles and who agreed to help find him,and she started to fall in love. But could learning totrust again alter a secret that she and Charles shared,or would everything be destroyed in a hail of confession?
Looking to weather your summer with a little bit ofreading? Although it sometimes felt just a tad toolong, “The Stormchasers” is a pretty appropriate book.
With an air of authenticity borne of deep research,Blum sends her main character (and readers)through the midst of devastation, which will makeyour heart pound. Bracketing that, the story movesback and forth in time to explain the relationshipsbetween Karena, Charles and their parents — a partof this novel which is richly detailed but sometimestoo much so. Blum also includes the ubiquitousromantic thread here and, while it seemed contrivedat first, it ended up to be just right.
Overall, if you’re looking for a decent book for a rainyday, this one promises fair skies. Now out in paperback,“The Stormchasers” is a book to put on your radar.

THE BOOKWORMSEZ
By Terri Schlichenmeyer
Editor’s note: Lenae Bulthuis has takensome time off from her column writing.This column was originally published inAugust 2003.
One of my hubby’s favorite comic reliefchoices is listening to Jeff Foxworthy’s“You might be a redneck if ...” Foxworthy’scomments include jokes about the numberof cars and dogs in the yard and otherhumorous redneck interpretations.
After my recent experience in downtownSeattle with my friend Barb, I now havemy own list of “You know you’re a smalltown girl if ...”
The majority of our time in Washington was spenton the Seattle Pacific University campus at an annualGirls Everywhere Meeting the Savior Counselors Con-ference. It was an inspiring week spent with 600 otherGEMS counselors from across North America.
The only opportunity that Barb and I had to see thesites was on Saturday evening. We chose to take acity bus to the downtown waterfront. Barb and I thendid the town — shopping for souvenirs, marveling atthe incredible foliage and taking a water taxi acrossthe bay. Considering all the beautiful sites andsounds, our favorite part of the evening was the foodand fellowship. Barb ordered a seafood platter; I hadcod; and together we ate on the pier with MountRainier as our backdrop and Elliott Bay as our stage.
The splendor of that place was breathtaking, andthe conversations it contained were satisfying to thesoul. It was a memorable time for two small-towngirls in the big city.
It was also a time that literally got away from us.The first time that Barb glanced at her watch, wewere both shocked when she said it was 10:10 p.m. Wequickly pulled out the city bus schedule to learn thatour bus only stopped three more times before shuttingits engine down for the evening and leaving us too farfrom the dorm rooms we called home for the week.
Off we went, literally climbing dozens and dozensof steps, and rebuking ourselves for being so careless.When we turned the corner to look for our ThirdAvenue bus stop, our mouths proverbially dropped tothe cement. We were face to face with a mob ofyouth, shouting and running in our direction while apolice vehicle drove on the sidewalk in an attempt todefuse the crowd.
The city buses closed their doors, keeping off therebels and allowing the growing police force toresolve the intense situation. Like magnets, Barband I worked our way as one through the crowd tothe corner where five policemen were posted. With-out thinking before I spoke, I asked one of the policeofficers, “Sir, do you know where bus ... oh, forget it.You look kind of busy.”
“You started now,” he replied shortly. “Finish it.”Apologetically, but quickly, I replied, “We need to
get out of here. Where’s the stop for Bus 13?”“You’ll have to read the signs,” he said. “Good luck
getting through that mob of juveniles.”I thanked him and apologized again. Barb and I
then crossed the street and were initially grateful
that it was the stop we needed and thendisappointed because we missed the busby minutes. Now it would be 10:45 p.m.before it came around again and thecrowd didn’t look like it was as anxious aswe were to return home.
Barb and I took a seat at the bus stopand watched the activities across thestreet. More than once I commented onhow it looked like an episode from the TVseries “Cops.” Within just half a block, Icounted 25 police officers. They were onfoot, bicycles, squad cars, unmarked vansand even horses.
There we sat, in tense posture, holding tightly toour purses, souvenirs and senses. It didn’t take longfor our nervous energy to unleash itself in bizarreobservations. After watching five policemen mountedon horses, Barb wondered if they came with pooperscoopers. It was just the comic relief we needed dur-ing our all too long wait for Bus 13.
“Do you think this would be a good time to take apicture?” she then asked. I couldn’t believe it. I wasjust thinking the same thing myself. Growing up in aKodak-moment family, I so longed to take a photo ofour front seat “Cops” view but didn’t want to drawany attention to our small-town stature. (As if theydidn’t know we were tourists.)
Our survival mode of silly statements continued onuntil we thankfully boarded Bus 13. On our trip back toSPU, I did what I so often do and thought through theobject lesson of another out-of-the-ordinary experience.
I must confess, my first thoughts were that our sit-uation should serve as a lesson in how to avoid orsurvive a downtown riot. Although, Barb and I willbe the first to tell you that you should be aware ofwhat time it is when visiting any downtown city, thelesson is deeper rooted than that.
The theme that struck me the most was the num-ber of young people — 12, 13 and 14 years old — whowere sharing our space at the bus stop. These youthwere by themselves, dressed beyond their years andhad atrocious language that rolled unashamed offtheir tongues. What steps take place, what pieces are
missing in the link that causes precious babes tohave X-rated body and verbal language by the timethey are 12? Where are their parents and familieson a Saturday night while these youth are roamingstreets that need the presence of a police army toremain under control?
I hope these thoughts and questions aren’t justbeing asked outside of the city limits. Must weaccept this behavior as city reality or is there a fea-sible solution?
The answer, I believe, is not primarily throughgovernment programs like some lawmakers wouldlike us to think. No amount of increasing programstaff or funds will cure or replace the missing link.
And what is that missing link? In a single word —love. Kids need to know and experience the realityof unconditional love.
How sad that there are children who grow upwithout a parent, grandparent or significant familymember who ensures that they know they are loved.
If only all children were loved with appropriatehugs and kisses. If only all children were loved withbalanced diets, immunizations and daily personalcare. If only all children were loved through wisedirection and discipline. If only all children wereloved through a listening ear and a plethora ofencouraging words.
Are these love deficiencies limited to downtowncities? I don’t think so. A more personal question:Are these love deficiencies taking place in yourrural community, within the walls of your home?Only you can answer that. If your answer isn’t apositive one, make it your highest priority to turnthe situation around and choose the greatest thingwe can do for the next generation — love them.

By SARAH JOHNSONThe Land Correspondent
One of the most-used tools in mykitchen is the internet, and as onlinecooking resources have evolved, itbehooves me to keep up with internettools that are both practical and easy tonavigate. “You’ve come a long way, baby”used to be a jingle for Virginia Slims cig-arettes, but the same can be said aboutinternet cooking sites. They’re gettingbetter, and some are excellent.
Lately I’ve been experimenting withingredient searches, where you enteryour main ingredient and let the searchengine find likely recipes all over theinternet. It makes searching acrosswebsites much faster, and the resultsare always interesting if not entirelyaccurate. I input the word “Minnesota”into a few of these web searches — andloved what they spit out.
(I must say, about 90 percent of the“Minnesota” recipes included wildrice. What’s up with that? I love wildrice and am proud that it’s grownhere, but 90 percent?)
■
Here’s what Cookzillas.com gave me,much to the joy of this SPAM lover.Imagine something that looks like adelectable cupcake but is actuallySPAMloaf in disguise. Try not to drool.SPAM Cupcakes
For cupcakes2 (12-ounce) cans of SPAM3 eggs, slightly beaten2/3 cup quick-cooking oatmeal3/4 cup milkFor glaze1/3 cup brown sugar1 tablespoon prepared mustard2 tablespoons white vinegar1 tablespoon waterFor topping4 cups prepared instant mashed
potatoesFresh chives or parsley (optional)Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare cup-
cakes: Grate SPAM into a large bowl.Add eggs, oatmeal and milk; mix well.Lightly spray a regular-size muffintin with nonstick cooking spray. Filleach muffin tin two-thirds full withSPAM mixture.
Prepare glaze: Combine all glazeingredients in a small bowl. Heat 20-30 seconds in microwave until sugaris melted. Lightly spoon glaze mix-ture over SPAM. Bake for 25-30 min-utes or until mixture is set.
Meanwhile, for topping: Prepare 4cups of instant mashed potatoes.Remove cupcakes from oven and top
each serving with instant potatoes.Heat broiler.Return muffin tin to oven.Broil 1-2 minutes or until potatoes arelightly browned. If desired, garnishwith fresh chives or parsley.
Makes 12 servings.(Created by Estelle Schmidt,

Foodily.com (acting as Facebook’s“recipe box”) provided Minnesota WildRice Bread, a hearty loaf indeed withoats, rye, whole-wheat flour, bran and, ofcourse, wild rice. You can make the wildrice and refrigerate it ahead of time.Minnesota Wild Rice Bread

I have three children, one in her 20sand two teenage sons. The daughter is avegan and eats no meat or dairy. Oneteen is an omnivorous grazer, who eats alittle bit of everything all day long, witha definite tendency toward the sweet.The third child is a proud carnivorewho thinks about eating meat all daylong, beef in particular. In his honor Iprepared Delish.com’s “Minnesota” sug-gestion, Broccoli, Beef & Potato HotDish, combining two of his favorite sidedishes with his beloved beef. This recipeis lower in fat than many of its ilk(using low-fat milk and lean groundbeef) and boasts plenty of fragrant sea-
soning (admittedly unusual in a Min-nesota hot dish). You’re gonna love theturmeric and paprika, folks. Four out offour yums from the Johnson clan!Broccoli, Beef & Potato Hot Dish
1 1/2 pounds (about 6 cups) broccoli,cut into 1-inch florets
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided1 1/2 pounds 95 percent-lean ground beef1 large onion, chopped2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce1 teaspoon garlic powder1 1/4 teaspoons salt, divided4 cups low-fat milk1/3 cup cornstarch2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar
cheese, preferably orange1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric4 cups frozen hash-brown or pre-
cooked shredded potatoes1 large egg, lightly beaten1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepperCanola or olive oil cooking spray1/4 teaspoon Hungarian paprika,
preferably hotPreheat oven to 450 F. Toss broccoli
with 1 tablespoon oil in a large bowl.Spread out on a baking sheet and roast,stirring once halfway through, untiljust soft and browned in spots, about 15minutes. Meanwhile, heat the remain-ing 1 tablespoon oil in a large skilletover medium heat. Add beef and onionand cook, breaking up the beef with awooden spoon, until the beef is brownedand the onion is softened, 10 to 12 min-utes. Stir in Worcestershire, garlic pow-der and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
Whisk milk and cornstarch in a largesaucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking often, until bubblingand thickened enough to coat the back ofa spoon, 6 to 8 minutes total. Removefrom the heat and stir in Cheddar, 3/4 tea-spoon salt and turmeric until the cheeseis melted. Spread the beef mixture in a9x13-inch (or similar 3-quart) bakingdish. Top with the broccoli and pour thecheese sauce evenly over the top.
Combine potatoes, egg, pepper andthe remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in amedium bowl. Sprinkle evenly over thecasserole. Coat the top with cookingspray. Bake the casserole until it isbubbling and the potatoes are begin-ning to brown, about 40 minutes.Sprinkle with paprika. Let stand for10 minutes before serving.

Approaching Spring Hill, Minn., from the west, onStearns County Road 14, you can see the steeple of
the church of St. Michael two and a half miles away. For111 years area farmers have looked up and seen thattowering red brick steeple. It, like their fields, has been apermanent fixture of the landscape in the western part ofthe county for genera-tions.
Up close the steeple,as well the church, is athing of beauty. It is apart of, and seems togrow out of, the vibrantvillage of Spring Hill.The doors of the churchbeckon visitors to walk apath that leads up thewooded hill from thecommercial district tothe church. The pathunites the church withthe community that itserves.
John and RobertRoscoe, authors of“Legacies of Faith: The Catholic Churches of StearnsCounty,” describe the architecture of St. Michael as beinga simple and elegant representation of Gothic-Romanesque church architecture. Those styles, whetheryou understand them or not, have the capacity to inspirea visitor and calm their spirit. On the outside, the churchgives a sense of towering over everything within sight aswell as having a sense of squatting solidity to it. It seemsto want to fly but never move. The church’s exterior is inexcellent repair and has numerous architectural detailsto intrigue those who are interested.
Inside, the visitor experiences that same sense of some-thing solid and immovable ready to fly. In the nave, orcenter of the church, slender white columns, with goldaccents, cause the eye, and the spirit, to look upward to abeautiful arching gold and white vault. The human spiritdoes want to soar to the heights but it also seeks beautyin detail. This church has plenty of detail from the intri-cate craftsmanship on the pews to the richly ornate altar.
One of the most interesting details is a series of eightcircular paintings of an angel. The paintings are cer-tainly of the church’s patron, St. Michael. They can befound above eight of the nave’s columns. Four paintingsdepict the angel as a messenger. The four others portrayhim as a musician playing a trumpet, organ, violin andharp.
We found St. Michael’s open on a weekday. If you do aswell, visit it quietly and respectfully and you will berewarded with an uplifting experience.

Full schedule of education at Farmfest
By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer
Always a big feature of Farmfestare the various panel presentationseach day in the Forum Tent in thecenter of the show grounds.
The forums are put together byKent Thiesse, vice president ofMinnStar Bank in Lake Crystal,Minn., whose economic expertiseshows when assembling both themesand panel participants. When roam-ing agriculture these days, topics areendless since the non-ag segments ofMinnesota and America have foundsocial media via Facebook, Twitter,etc., a most convenient medium forspewing rhetoric.
What can producers do aboutincreasingly serious threats to Ameri-can agriculture? Catch a couple of theforums — Aug. 2’s “Regulation: TheBiggest Threat to Production Agricul-ture?” and Aug. 3’s “Finding a CommonMessage for Agriculture” — and you’llhear good answers, great suggestionsabout what needs to be done and whoneeds to do it.
Listed below are some of these Farm-
fest panels’ presenters, and their briefcomments on what they’ll be dis-cussing.Aug. 2: “Regulation: The BiggestThreat to Production Agriculture?”
Liz Wagstrom, National Pork Pro-ducers Council chief veterinarian:
“I will be talking about the FDA’s(Food & Drug Administration) recentlyissued guidance about the use ofantibiotics for livestock production asbeing injudicious. Under that guidancethe FDA has said they want to do twothings: 1) Remove all growth promo-tion or nutritional efficiency labelsfrom drugs that are used both in ani-mals and humans; and 2) Increase vet-erinary oversight of all uses of antibi-otics although they don’t define whatveterinary oversight would look like.
“The point I’ll be making at Farmfestis that when you look at the usage ofanimal microbials in feed whether forgrowth promotion, disease control pre-vention or treatments there’s a body ofscientifically peer-reviewed riskassessments that show that the risk tohuman health is negligible to almost
non-existent for those uses. I’ll reviewsome of those ‘risk assessment’ con-cerns. Also I will share that if you stopusing antibiotics in livestock produc-tion which results in sick animalswhich you later treat before these ani-mals become part of the food supplychain, you often see more lesions whenthese animals are processed. Netresults is more ‘peel outs’ from lungsand other carcass areas and theselesions actually contribute to more sal-monella bacteria which could ulti-mately result in more food-borne ill-ness. The point being there may besome unintended consequences interms of these guidance proposals byFDA.”
Dave Pfarr, farmer and MinnesotaCorn Growers Association board mem-ber:
“I’ll be talking about cropping sys-tems and how regulations impact usboth negatively, and positively, interms of how we manage our land. I’llmention in particular water manage-

Bring youryoungster to the Minnesota Farmers Union Agency Pedal Pull to see how heor she fares in Farmfest’s most widely attended children’s contest. Childrenages 4-11 are eligible to participate and the top three contestants in eachbracket win an award. Don’t forget your camera!
This is sponsored by Minnesota Farmers Union.
THREAT, from pg. 22Fment and crop protection toolsbecause both these areas aremaking headlines in theexpanding discussions on sedi-mentation in the MinnesotaRiver basin.
“I’ll also touch on this processof registration of crop protection prod-ucts. It seems to be getting more andmore difficult with more informationdemands. Here’s an example of wherewe have already lost production toolswithout gaining any particular use-able options, particularly as it relatesto pest management.
“There are some good tradeoffs whenit comes to pesticide record keepingand restricted-use pesticides whichrequire an applicators license forusage. Obviously we producers have astrong concern and stewardship pas-sion about our land and waterresources. With that said, we under-stand the importance of regulations forour total environment. Policy peopleneed to realize the logistics betweenputting words into regulations andproducts into useful implementationby us farmers.”
Warren Formo, Minnesota Ag WaterResources Coalitionexecutive director:
“The topic of regu-lating agriculturalactivities has becomea perennial crop dur-ing the past quartercentury. But whilethe discussion contin-ues from year to year,the volume of the conversation — interms of both loudness and quantity —closely follows the federal farm billcycle. The conversation typicallybegins with vague activist calls tobegin regulating agriculture, followedby responses of ‘enough already’ fromfarmers and farm organizations. Asone recent example, consider a 2011report authored by the University ofMinnesota Water Resources Center,which contains numerous references toagriculture as unregulated or under-regulated, and suggests new conse-quences and enforcement measures.Even though these new ‘consequences’are not provided in detail, many farm-ers perceive the report as a call forincreased regulation.
“The fact is farmers are subject toregulation in many ways already,including planning and zoning rules,fuel storage containment, bufferrequirements, erosion prevention,
feedlot runoff controls, restrictions onthe use of manure as a crop nutrient,pesticide application rules and limitson the installation and maintenance ofwater management systems (i.e.drainage and irrigation). Beyond thefarm gate, those who install drain orirrigation systems or provide commer-cial manure, fertilizer and pesticideapplication services are also subject tostrict permit, license and record-keep-ing requirements.
“The calls to begin regulating agri-culture thus must be characterized aseither rooted in a lack of knowledgeabout the current regulations or abelief that they are inadequate. Eitherway, a productive dialog regarding agregulations is more likely when bothsides start with the same basic set offacts.”
Matt Wohlman, Minnesota Depart-ment of Agriculture assistant commis-sioner:
“Water and environmental issues arefacing agriculture continually. But alldiscussions need to be prefaced withthis simple question: How do we pro-duce 50 percent more than currentproduction to meet the world foodneeds by 2050? There are both tremen-dous opportunities, and some threats,to production agriculture. What’sneeded is a balanced approach fromboth sides of the table. We need to setaside the environment-versus-agricul-ture debate and make every effort tomove forward collectively. Today wehave opportunities and challengesthat need to be shared intelligently,and with science to verify decisions.
“When we look at the remarkableprogress of farmers in recent years notonly are they greatly increasing pro-duction per acre, but they are alsodoing this with more positive conser-vation results than ever before. Iremember growing up as a youngRenville County farm kid when eachfall we would moldboard plow theentire farm. Today that doesn’t hap-pen. I think farmers have made hugestrides and they keep getting better.Collectively we need to determine ourtarget, our goals and then determinehow to get there.”
Bill Crawford, Minnesota Pork
Board president:“Regulations are
just part of agricul-ture these days; wesimply need to acceptthat fact of life. Thereare new rules comingdown, either from fed-eral or state, almostroutinely. The ‘air
emissions’ stuff from EPA (Environ-mental Protection Agency) is a con-cern, especially if there is some effortto trace dust to agriculture. Hopefully,our task is to keep a grip on what’scoming down. And if it’s totally offbase, make certain our elected officialsrethink the entire issue.
“We hear some squabbles about thefuture of antibiotics in animal feeds.But the science is confirming that
much of what Washington, D.C., istalking about is just simply rhetoric.Science simply does not support whatthey’re asking. At times it’s a ‘wildcard.’ We acknowledge that it seemslike Washington can do just aboutwhatever they wish. But hopefullyscience, and cooler heads, will prevailand we’ll work our way through theseissues.”
Don Scheifelbein, Minnesota StateCattleman’s Association president andMinnesota Pollution Control AgencyCitizen’s Board:

THREAT, from pg. 23Fbeing raised are very emphatic inengaging regulators. Thus through nofault of their own, the regulators hearonly one side of the story and thatleads to a very biased viewpoint ofwhat should be done in terms of regu-lations. The point being that we in thecattle industry need to share ourstory, especially to the regulators whoreally are only doing their job basedon current rules and regulations.”Aug. 3: “Finding a Common Message for Agriculture”
Brian Greenslit, Renville Countyfarmer, Minnesota Soybean Research &Promotion Council:
“I’m now also a board member of thenew U.S. Farmers & RanchersAlliance. This board was put togetherwith the sole purpose of defining whatagriculture is, and what we do. For themost part, Americans don’t under-stand agriculture. What we do andwho we are is being defined by others.And they mostly seem to believe thatbig-scale agriculture doesn’t have aright to exist.
“We see the need, the importance tochange our tactics. And that meansstop preaching to the choir. We’ve beensoft-peddling the ‘pro farmer’ messagefor a couple years now and quitefrankly, that just isn’t working. We’llbe advocating a new approach thatgets the message to policy makers, andmore importantly to rank-and-fileAmericans, that farmers are indeedour nation’s stewards of the land. Alsowe need to tell America that we aredeeply concerned about our environ-ment, and we do have a right to existat the table. In fact we are the veryproviders for this table. Large-scaleagriculture is nothing to be ashamedof or to fear. U.S. agriculture is a modelfor the rest of the world. We in produc-tion agriculture know that fact and weneed to tell that story.
“We have some powerful spokespeo-
ple on this new Alliance. Our nation’scommodity groups were the originalinvestors in this concept. Rick Tolman,CEO of the National Corn Growers,and John Becker, executive director ofthe United Soybean Board spawnedthe idea. Bob Stallman, president ofthe American Farm Bureau, quicklybought into the thinking and is thecurrent chairman of the Alliance.
“We’ve got some firepower. JohnDeere, DuPont, the Fertilizer Instituteare already industry partners andwe’re just getting started. There willbe many more industry partners. Andthe financial clout will be significant,like a $25 million to $30 millionannual endeavor. In pure and simpleterms, our nation needs to be educatedabout U.S. agriculture.”
Staci Martin, AgStar Legislative andRegulatory Affairs director:
“I’m looking forward to Farmfest andthis opportunity to talk about the agri-culture story. On the surface it soundssimple because we know so well that
Soft-peddling ‘pro-farmer’ message doesn’t work anymoreTH

THREAT, from pg. 24Ffarmers and ranchers striveto provide an abundant andsafe food supply for all con-sumers. But as you dig downto find a common messagefor agriculture it can be quite complex.
“One of the areas I’ll be exploring is engagement.So as I get ready for Farmfest I’ll be reaching out tomany of my contacts connected within agriculture toget their perspectives on this issue. I want to getviewpoints from several others involved in thisdynamic industry. We know there’s an increasingusage by rural Minnesotans of Facebook, Twitterand other social media. The more people understandthese tools, the less trepidation. We still have someissues with broadband and lack of availability to theinternet in some rural areas.”
Stacy Thoeny, farm wife and Kanabec/Isanticounty Farm Bureau Young Farmers & Rancherschair:
“I have many things to share. Finding a commonmessage is a double-edged sword because we farm-ers tend to be quite independent. We often each haveour own philosophy on the proper way of doingthings and I think that’s part of the disconnectbetween farmers and non-farmers. So it’s importantthat our agricultural story be a unified story. Andthat’s why we need these ‘think-tank’ sessions tocome up with those key elements on which we allagree. We all have a keen stewardship about theland we farm because not only is it our livelihood butit is also where we live and raise our families. So tome it’s important that we find the things we collec-tively agree on and build off those strengths. “
Brad Finstad, Center for Rural Policy and Develop-ment in St. Peter, Minn.:
“I’m excited to beon this panelbecause we cer-tainly are a diversegroup, and that inessence is agricul-ture today: extreme
diversity. My message will beabout how drastically rural Min-nesota is losing population. For usto be splintered when it comes to our message ofstrength and growing rural Minnesota, just doesn’twork. We are the cornerstone of who we are as astate and that means working together, not only forour future in agriculture but also as the key buildingblock for the economy of Minnesota.
“We have tons of commodity groups, tons of farmorganizations but a united, independent voice is theonly real voice with muscle power in D.C. and ourstate capital. We are losing voices. The Census datahas been a springboard for us to wake up and takenote of what’s happening. The face of rural Min-nesota has changed significantly the past decade.We’re ‘graying and browning.’ Those communitieswith growth the past 10 years can often attributethis growth to a minority increase population. I don’tbelieve we have talked openly enough about thisimpact. What does it do to a community? What kindof pressures — financial, schools, community pro-grams? But by the same token what are the opportu-nities these ethnic groups bring into a community?The growth of Nobles County wouldn’t have hap-pened without minorities coming in, willing to dosome of these jobs in livestock and poultry process-ing plants.”
Karen Richter, Montgomery hogproducer and National Pork Boardtreasurer:
“I’ll be making special mention ofall the tools provided by the PorkCheckoff program to tell the porkstory for American consumers, porkindustry specialists and all pork pro-ducers. Our story is what we do, howwe do it, and the health and nutri-
tion benefits of our product. A major activity of theCheckoff program is our interaction with the U.S.Farmers & Ranchers Alliance which will soon belaunching massive new information programsabout American agriculture.
“I’m frequently talking with consumers, especiallythrough our ‘Operation Main Street’ program. I alsotalk with dietitians and other food industry people.Once they see the data, people are very amazedabout the value of pork in the diet. We’ve been ‘TheOther White Meat’ for years but are now movingforward with our new slogan of pork being inspired.Most are still surprised at how lean and healthypork products are today. They just don’t realize howpositively the numbers stack up for pork whenyou’re talking proteins in the food chain.
“Our agricultural story is so huge, so phenomenal,yet there are so many common aspects of produc-tion agriculture. However, there is also tremendousdiversity in American agriculture which I thinkadds strength to our total story.”
Donna Moenning, Midwest Dairy Association sen-ior vice president, was a late addition to the Findinga Common Message for Agriculture forum panel.

Today their farm includes Dale’s grandparents’ original 80-acre farm, Dale’s parents’ farm and several adjacent agriculturalparcels. The farm is not yet a century farm, but land in his townshiphas been worked by Dale’s ancestors for well over 100 years. Thecurrent farm focuses on feeder calf production. The herd has grownfrom six Angus stock cows to 60 stock cows, with a goal ofexpanding to 90 Angus-Tarentaise cross stock cows. Dale’s father,Fritz, son, Lance, and grandson Logan are also involved in the familyoperation.
Blue Earth CountyLandsteiner Family FarmThe Landsteiner Family Farm was established in 1920 by Augustand Josephine Landsteiner. It was then passed down to son Bernardwho farmed with his father until 1957. Years later, Bernard’s sonsLawrence, James and Paul entered the farming operation and farmedwith Bernard until he retired in 1988. Today the Landsteinerbrothers grow corn, soybeans, wheat and custom feed hogs for alocal producer. Even though Lawrence (the eldest brother) and hiswife, Joan, retired from farming in 2008, Lawrence continues to
help with all aspects of the operation. Lawrence and Joan have twosons and three grandchildren. Sons Jim and Paul along with theirwives Jackie and Shellie continue to manage and operate the familyfarm. Jim and Jackie have three children: Kate, Ted and Jay.

Since 1868 theUniversity of Min-nesota has been aland grant institu-tion. While manythings have changedover the years, whathas not is the U ofM’s dedication to bringing researchresults and information to those inagriculture, specifically the producers.
But with budget cuts and a decrease inpeople interested in agricultural careers,what does the future hold for the U of Mas a land grant institution and otherland grant colleges across the country?
Keeping the land grant mission alive willbe a topic of discussion at this year’s Farm-fest. One person who knows quite a bitabout the research end of the land grantmission,and will be a forum panelist at theGilfillan Estate, is Gyles Randall.
Randall,a recent retiree from the South-ern Research and Outreach Center inWaseca, Minn., was the soil scientist therefrom 1974 until his retirement in Decem-
ber. He has seen firsthandhow agricultural researchand outreach has changedover the decades.
“My position at this timeis not being filled,”Randallsaid, due to budgetrestraints. His concern, ingeneral, is “how is the uni-versity going to meet the
needs of production agriculture?”While his title was a soil scientist, he
spent time not just researching butspeaking to people in the field. He haswitnessed that the one-on-one time thatwas so vital to those out in the field wasslowly being replaced by bigger meetings,and less time spent with individuals.
He has also seen that farming sincethe 1970s is much more technologicaland science-based endeavor. “Now peo-ple are really well-trained but don’t havethe farm experience,” Randall said. Withfewer people coming from farming back-grounds, education is playing a key rolein getting those students up to speed.
Randall hopes that people who attend
this forum walk away with a “prettygood understanding of what the generalneeds are.” He also hopes that people see“how the needs of the agriculture com-munity can be met by the university.”
Jim Nesseth offers a unique perspec-tive to this panel, as a former countyExtension agent and now as owner ofExtended Ag Services of Lakefield,Minn. Participating in a Farmfestforum for the first time, he said he isready to talk passionately about whathe likes about land grant institutionsand what he thinks should be changed.
“The land grant mission, if followedcorrectly, is second to none,” Nessethsaid. He said there are a few areas,however, where other land grant uni-versities such as Iowa State Univer-sity and South Dakota State Univer-sity are doing a better job than the Uof M, such as getting research informa-tion out to people in a timely manner.
He believes there needs to be more “focus
on applied research.” He would like to seean opportunity to “reward the productivepeople in the large institutions.”He wantsthe university to “listen to us.”
Unlike in education, Nesseth said,“In my business if I don’t satisfy mycustomer I lose them.”
He would like those who attend theforum to have “a better understandingon how their tax dollars are spent.” Healso “hopes they feel their voices arebeing heard.” In his business “in orderfor us to give good advice we need goodinformation.” That information comesfrom research and development at theuniversity.
“Keeping the Land Grant MissionAlive” will be held 10:30-11:50 a.m. onAug. 4 at the Farmfest Forum Tent.Other panelists participating are BevDurgan, University of MinnesotaExtension dean, and Gene Stoehl,chairman of the Minnesota SoybeanResearch and Promotion Council.
