SPOILER ALERT: If you haven’t readMarvel Comics’ “Amazing Spider-Man”issue No. 700 yet, stop immediately andjump directly to Alan Guebert’s columnbelow. (I’m fairly certain he’s not writingabout comic books this week.)

Still here? OK, so the basic story is this:One of Spider-Man’s classic arch-enemies,the elderly mad scientist Otto Octavius —a.k.a. Doctor Octopus — has become frailand is near death. In one last attempt atvictory over his do-gooder rival, Octaviusdevises a way to switch bodies with him(think “Freaky Friday”), thus trappingPeter Parker’s consciousness in thedying super-villain’s body. Now inhabit-ing Parker’s young and powerful body, but with hisevil intellect intact, Octavius thrills at the incrediblehavoc he can now wreak upon New York City and theworld.

But at the very last moment, in the final secondsbefore death, Parker is able to mentally connect withhis foe, and Peter Parker/Spider-Man’s entire tragicyet heroic life flashes before Octavius’ eyes. From hisjust-bitten-by-a-radioactive-spider decision not toapprehend the criminal who would later murder hisUncle Ben, to his dedication to using his great pow-ers with great responsibility — this intimate knowl-edge of Parker’s integrity and selflessness, literally

in an instant, changes Octavius.His old body, and old enemy, now dead,

Octavius vows to give up his evil ways andcarry on the hero Spider-Man’s friendlyneighborhood mission — but in a “supe-rior” way, fully utilizing his great scientificintelligence to augment his spider-powers.The surprise twist is that when theirminds met, a portion of Parker’s soul, ifyou will, joined with Octavius. The origi-nal Peter Parker still exists, but only as aguardian angel of sorts, watching over theSuperior Spider-Man to ensure that he

lives up to his promise.The nature of comic books being what

it is, most fans assume it’s only a matterof time before the webslinger many of us grew upwith returns from the dead to protect his fellow NewYorkers once again. We shall see.

Besides finally giving me an excuse to write aboutSpider-Man after eight years at The Land, what is mypoint in sharing this story with you? Nothing really,other than to note that a moving story about good andevil, life and death, trial and tribulation, rebirth,redemption and salvation is always worth a read.

The coincidence was positively delicious.Shortly after Swedish furniture seller

Ikea found itself, shall we say, saddle-deepin a saucy mess that featured racier redmeat in its Swedish meatballs than you’dnormally get from the average Europeancow, the U.S. Department of Agricultureannounced changes to its controversialCountry of Origin Labeling, or COOL, lawfor American meat.

The two events have more in commonthan a matched team of plow horses.

Ikea’s woes began in late-February whena horse-meat-in-lasagna scandal racedacross Britain. It soon galloped (sorry) into Ireland,Poland, France and, later, Sweden. Shortly there-after, a lab in the Czech Republic found horse DNAin a bag of the frozen meatballs that Ikea, famously,sells at its big blue stores throughout Europe.

So far, the source of the Secretariat meatballs, ah,Swedish meatballs, has not been found and, proba-bly, won’t. By law, whole muscle cuts of meats in theEuropean Union must be identified by country of ori-

gin while processed meats do not.In all likelihood that wide-open barn

door (ugh) will be closed soon across the27-nation EU.

Why on Earth would food-centric Euro-peans even buy meatballs at a furniturestore? For the same reason Americansbuy pizza and burritos at a gas station —it’s cheap, convenient and it’s pizza andburritos, right?

Maybe, and maybe that’s also why mostof us still pray before we eat, commentedone New York Times reader in response toa March 9 column on the Norse horse

farce: we’re praying that what’s on our fork actuallyis what we think it is.

Just as the European horse meat scandal was (I justcan’t help it) being put out to pasture, the USDA tookanother crack at writing the rules to implement COOL, thenow 11-year-old law that was supposed to inform con-sumers on the origin of the meat, fish and poultry they buy.

An amazing story

OPINION

COOL, horse meat conundrum meet

GUEBERT, from pg. 2Supposed to but never

really did because Big Agand Big Agbiz called in Congressional markers toensure it was delayed, watered down, then chal-lenged as protectionist. Last May the World TradeOrganization obliged; it tossed COOL.

Big Ag’s big beef?Their price-flattening, cross-border flow of livestock,

chiefly cattle, they claimed, was far more important tothem and international trade than you knowing if thehamburger on your grillcame from Nebraska orNicaragua.

The new USDA rules,which it believes are in“compliance with U.S.international trade obli-gations,” are simple.They refocus the oldWorld Trade Organiza-tion-violating “Productof the U.S” label to amore exact “Born,Raised and Slaughteredin the United States.”

If, for example, themeat is from an animalborn in Canada, thenfed and slaughtered inthe United States, thenew label will read“Born in Canada, Raisedand Slaughtered in theUnited States.”

It’s clear, precise information U.S. consumers haveoverwhelmingly said they want and need. Most U.S.livestock farmers want it, too, because all want theirhomegrown product identified at home, the richest,most-competitive food market in the world.

Meatpackers and their “lackeys” — a word often usedby U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, to describe com-modity groups like the National Cattlemen’s Beef Asso-ciation who have fought COOL — hate it because, theyexplain, COOL unfairly targets imports as inferior. Thatclaim, however, also serves to disguise a key benefit ofnot labeling, the international movement of price-affect-ing livestock and meat.

Canada and Mexico also hate COOL. Both say it limitstheir exports (mostly cattle) to the United States.

USDA trade data, however, shows otherwise. The totalnumber of cattle collectively exported from Mexico andCanada to the United States from 2008, when COOLfinally was implemented, to 2012, when it was declaredprotectionist, was 2.2 million head, 2 million, 2.3 million,2.1 million and 2.6 million, respectively.

If that’s protectionism then we’re all a bunch of meat-balls — Angus or Appaloosa — when it comes to inter-national trade because facts simply do not matter.

To the Editor:A federal milk market order reform

vote just took place. Ballots needed to bepostmarked on or before Feb. 27. Not many peopleare aware that this just happened. I think this is bydesign.

The vote was about was whether the makeallowance should be permanently amended toapprove a temporary increase that was in effect thepast few years. The amount under consideration willequal about 0.35 per hundredweight on raw milk. Ifthis passes, the total decrease in the class III pricefrom the make allowance will be about $3.17/cwt.The processor will get this money to cover his cost ofprocessing the milk.

I have several questions regarding this issue.• Why is there not a rule or law to make sure the

dairy farmer has his cost of production covered?Every month the U.S. Department of Agriculture fig-ures cost of producing milk in most, if not all, states,but what is done with that info? It has been manymonths since the milk price has been high enough tocover the farmer’s cost of production. Why are we notvoting to increase the price of milk paid to farmers?

• Since many processors are now foreign-owned, isit the USDA’s job to ensure that these foreign-ownedplants have a healthy margin between what theypay for raw milk and what they receive for the prod-uct they manufacture? What about the U.S. citizenwho supplied them with the raw milk? Does not theUSDA owe them at least as much as it apparently

owes the foreign-owned plants? If thisproposed increase in the makeallowance passes, the total reduction in

the class III price due to the make allowance will beabout $3.17/cwt. In other words if there was no makeallowance the class III milk price would be $3.17higher.

• Why are co-ops allowed to bloc vote? If a co-ophas 1,000 members, they are allowed to cast 1,000votes. In most cases, the farmers they representnever knew that a vote was taking place, or what theissue is. There is no requirement that the co-opinform its members about the issue or the pros andcons concerning the issue. Yet they can cast a vote fortheir members?

• I question the way the ballot is worded and whata “no” vote means. If you vote “yes” you are approv-ing the change (0.35/cwt. increase in makeallowance). If you vote “no” the whole federal order isdismantled. If the general election were held underthose rules, we would have one person running forpresident and if you did not vote for that one person,the government would be abolished.

These are not the regulations that most Americanslive under. If you expect dairy farmers to contributetoward the safe and abundant food supply Ameri-cans enjoy, the rules we dairy farmers operate underneed to be changed so they are more in line withwhat most U.S. citizens experience.Mark RohrBluffton, Minn.

By RICHARD SIEMERSThe Land Correspondent

When you enter the world of don-keys and mules, it’s like walking intoa French restaurant. If you under-stand the language, it is easier tounderstand the menu. So for noviceswho tend to misuse terms, here is aquick vocabulary lesson of officialAmerican Donkey and Mule Society

terminology.Ass is the correct term for the animal

commonly known as a donkey, burro orjack stock. A jack is the male of the assspecies. A jennet is the female.

Mule technically designates thehybrid animal produced when a maleass (jack) is crossed with a horse mare.A hinny is the term for the hybrid pro-duced from a horse stallion and a

female ass (jennet). However, “mule”sometimes is used to refer to allhybrids.

Jan Petersen of Lynd, Minn., prefersthe mule to the hinny. She and herhusband, Wayne, have raised a few,though they are not breeders.

“It seems when I take them out trailriding, people see them and kind of buythem out from under me,” Petersensaid. “I can’t hardly turn down goodmoney for a mule when I know I canmake another one.” She was “prettybig into quarter horses,” showing themwhen she was younger, and she andher husband raised quarter horses.Then she saw a mule on a trail ride.

“I watched it all day and it didn’t do athing wrong,” Petersen said. The ownerlet her ride it. “I just liked the gait, andshe was very docile.”

Petersen said that was a good intro-duction to mules.

“I’ve had a few bad mules,” she said.“I bought a high dollar one a few yearsago that was supposed to be agrandma’s mule. It wasn’t.”

Her attraction to riding mules istheir smooth gait, their intelligence

and that she finds they have more per-sonality than a horse. She said theyare smart and catch on quick — a badhabit as easily as a good one — so youhave to be on top of it when you’retraining them. She finds them quickerat learning than a horse, and a littlemore impatient.

“You can’t round pen a mule like theydo horses,” she said, “because the muledoesn’t see the point of it.”

“Stubborn as a mule” is not an accu-rate description, she said. Their so-called stubbornness is actually part oftheir intelligence. It’s not stubborn-ness but self-preservation. Where ahorse may work or run itself to death,a mule won’t. That comes from theirdonkey side.

The Petersens are not alone in theiradmiration of the mule. They are mem-bers of the Minnesota Donkey andMule Club. Ron Denn, who farms nearMonticello, Minn., with his wife, Lisa,is current president of the MDMC.Denn said there are approximately110 members in the club.

MULES, from pg. 6ers to teamsters,” he said.

Most donkey and mule events takeplace in southern Minnesota, butmembers come from as far north asBaudette, and a few cross over fromWisconsin, Iowa and South Dakota.

“It has truly been a joy over the yearsworking with mules,” Denn said. “Theyreally are a blend of donkey and horse,both physically and mentally, and ofcourse, don’t forget about the ears.”

The traits of the mule that Denn andPetersen like often seem to come fromits donkey sire. In addition to thosePetersen spoke of, Denn mentioned thesmaller hoof and more cautious behav-ior they inherit from the donkey, whichmakes them more sure-footed inrugged terrain.

“This is especially attractive to sen-ior riders today,” Denn said. “Mulesalso get feed efficiency from donkeys.The mule eats about 60 to 70 percentpound for pound what a horse doesand can still maintain their weight.”

Still, the choice of mare is importantbecause of the influence they have inraising the mule foal.

“I find that a mule foal will take onthe temperament of the mother,”Petersen said. “Years ago bad-tem-pered mares would be bred to jacks,just because they did not want horsesout of those mares. Therefore we endedup with a lot of undesirable character-istics and temperaments in the mule

foals. Hence, the mule got a bad repu-tation. Today some really good mareswith great confirmation, tempera-ment, athletic ability and such arebeing put to jacks, and the results area very different kind a mule, a moredesirable kind of mule.”

According to an article in the March2010 issue of Western Mule Magazine,“there are as many kinds of mules asthere are breeds of horses, because allkinds of mares are now being used toproduce mules.” There are even a fewdressage mules.

Donkeys and mules come in all sizes— donkeys from miniature to Mam-moth Jack Stock, mules from minia-ture to the draft mule which are bredfrom draft mares.

While mules seem to be more popu-lar than donkeys, that may be chang-ing.

“The real demand lately is with don-keys,” Denn said. “I find more andmore people are riding donkeys. Theyare great for the kids and occasionalrider. They are more laid back andmore forgiving than other equine.Today’s donkey as a rule has greatlyimproved and they are not worthlesspasture pets anymore.”

The advent of the tractor brought aprecipitous decline in the number ofmules, who were no longer seen to beof much use. Lack of respect for thedonkey was promoted when “ass”became a term of derision. However,those who know the animals find them

both useful and deserving respect.The popularity of the horse is not in

danger of being eclipsed by otherequines, but the sure-footed, less-excitable, fuel-efficient, common-sensemule, and the long-eared donkeys thatsire them, are gaining ground.

Denn said that the MDMC and theWright County Fair Longear Drill Teamwill be at the Minnesota Horse Expo April26-28. They are located in the horse barn.

The Central Minnesota Donkey and MuleDays in Howard Lake that he helped foundare June 28-30 — information can befound at www.donkeyandmuledays.com.Other mule and donkey events taking placethroughout the summer, including the stateshow, are listed at the MDMC website atwww.mndonkeyandmule.org.

Minnesota HayBank established

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

With back-to-back“droughty” seasons behindus — and who knows whatahead — many farmersare asking themselves,“Just how healthy is mywell?”

When wonderingwhether there’s still enough waterdown there, or if the drought cycleshave caught up with it, a good place foranswers is a well-drilling firm with120 years of experience.

Aaron Butler, director of sales andmarketing for Thein Well in Spicer,Minn., said it depends what region youare in when it comes to undergroundwater supplies.

“Up around the Willmar area and onnorth there’s lots of sand and gravelprofiles, so recharge of soil water ispretty quick,” he said. Down aroundthe Minnesota River Valley and pointssouth, water aquifers are more spotty,“But I’m not hearing any particularareas where the aquifers are not sus-taining.”

There are certainly instances ofwells going dry these days, Butler said,but typically that’s in reference toshallow wells; pounded sand points inshallow aquifers that might only beabout 30 feet deep. “Yes, those wells

can be affected if you’re pumping800 to 1,000 gallons a minute froma nearby center-pivot irrigationpump,” he said, “but when the piv-ots are shut off these wells usuallyrecharge.”

But aren’t the below-normalrains of the past two seasons draw-ing down water-bearing aquifers?Butler said that the amount of

water in these soil aquifers has beenvirtually the same for thousands ofyears.

“We’re fortunate in Minnesota tohave such a renewable resource,” hesaid. “Out west they don’t have thisrecharge capacity. I’m hearing aboutpossible moratoriums on new wellsbeing dug or limits on the amountbeing pumped. The Ogallala Aquifer ismajor for Nebraska agriculture, andirrigation pumping may be an issueout there.”

Much of Minnesota has a glacial his-tory, making it rich in aquifers virtu-ally wherever the massive ice sheetsmoved 10,000-plus years ago. “Uparound the Belgrade-Brooten areathere is an unconfined aquifer, mean-ing it’s sand and gravel all the waydown to bedrock. Here your irrigationpumps will mostly be less than 40 feetdeep.” In the Willmar-New Londonarea, Butler said the first aquifer layeris typically found at about 100 feet,

then another at the 300-foot level.Occasionally that drill goes all the waydown to bedrock. Now you’re spendinga lot of money and still no good assur-ance of a steady supply of water.

His firm has done 400-foot wells inareas of spotty locations of aquifers,and he knows of 800-foot wells being

WELL, from pg. 11dug, which he describes as a “no-win” situationbecause the customer has a huge bill and may nothave a lot of water.

Defending the well drilling business, Butler saidthe driller is doing what needs to be done to providea well that works for the customer. “The drillingcompanies don’t have any impact on the geology ofthe Earth. We’ve got to work with what MotherNature put in place.”

Thein Well doesn’t focus on the big irrigation oppor-tunities, but Butler said his firm definitely is doingmore of those systems in recent years. “In our marketwe cater to residential, municipal and agriculture,” hesaid. “We’re seeing a lot of bigger confinement live-stock facilities which traditionally have been on ruralwater but are now having a supply issue. So they oftenresort to putting in their own water system and we’renow doing some of that work.

“Also we do a lot of the big wells for ‘rural water’supply districts. And these seem to be increasing invarious parts of the Upper Midwest.”

Butler said a 180-foot well, 5-inch diameter withstandard pump, would be in the $7,000 to $7,500

price range today. Ten years ago that would havebeen a $6,000 to $6,500 job.

“The economics of our industry here in Minnesotahave stayed quite cost-efficient,” he said. “Concern-ing the investment in equipment and other overheadexpenses, we really don’t get paid what we shouldconsidering what we are doing. We’re talking thou-sands of dollars in equipment to put in a well.There’s some out there that really work for cheapand it’s tough to compete. That’s good for consumersbecause it’s supply and demand working as itshould.”

So the only real concern for well water is if youhave a shallow well and you have irrigation nearbythose aquifers may have some recharge issues, andthat directly might impact a farm well.

Is the drought cycle ramping up business for TheinWell? Butler said they can still take care of businesson demand. “We’re a good-sized family operation,” hesaid. “We run many drilling rigs, 10 to 15 dependingupon the various purposes. However if someone’swell suddenly goes dry, we treat that as a priorityand that gets our immediate attention.

“With irrigation wells, there’s a bit of a wait

because of the backlog. We do our best to look ateveryone’s situations and schedule accordingly.”

Butler can be reached at (800) 450-8000. He wasinterviewed at the Central Minnesota Farm Show inSt. Cloud, Feb. 28. ❖

Bunkers have a diversified history in American agri-culture.

Quick and convenient storage for corn silage startedwith “bunker silos” 30-plus years ago. Constructionmaterials were pretty much whatever was convenientin those early days. That might mean discarded rail-road ties, old sheets of plywood, old utility poles, haybales or even just piled up dirt.

But as the quality of feed product got better, so did thequality of bunker. When ear-corn silage, chopped alfalfahay, total mixed rations and shelled corn moved intobunker storage, bunker construction rapidly got substan-tially better. Concrete soon became the prime catalyst.

So would a bunker work for bulk fertilizer, too? Sure,if it’s got water-tight walls, a framed steel water-tightroof and 6-inch concrete floor. Stanley Farms of Grygla,Minn., has just such a bunker.

Todd Stanley, general manager of this operationheadquartered in Beltrami County about 38 milessouth of Roseau, said, “it looks much like any fertilizerplant you see at your local co-op.”

Well, not quite. This one constructed by Hanson SiloCo. of Svea, Minn., measures 60-feet wide, 104-feetlong, has 12-foot concrete walls — solid concrete T pan-els measuring 12-feet tall, 7-feet wide, 7.5-feet long andeach weighing 13,000 pounds — and features five sepa-rate interior bins, each capable of handling 250 tons offertilizer. Including the alley, it has a total storagecapacity of 1,500 tons of fertilizer.

A framed, 8-foot stud wall sits right on top of the con-crete walls to carry that roof. A brief visit with Stanleysoon convinces you that he thrives on the challenge ofbeing on the “cutting edge” of new technologies — espe-cially cost-effective technologies.

Their 12,000 tillable acres includes 4,000 acres springwheat, 4,000 acres soybean and 2,000 acres growingvarious grass seeds such as perennial rye grass for golf

course, roadside and lawn mixes. Last year they had160 acres of 75-day maturity corn that yielded 155bushels per acre. Conservation Reserve Program landclaims another 1,000 acres.

That much cropland gobbled up about 1,300 tons ofdry fertilizer in 2012, generating about a $30 per tondiscount price. We’re talking a $39,000 savings in justone season on the fertilizer bill, plus that all-important24/7 access to their fertilizer.

They used to store fertilizer in pole buildings afterStanley’s dad moved from bagged fertilizer to bulk in1970. “For several years we bought blends,” he said,“then we switched to blending our own (50-50 phos-phate and potash). We’d load one semi of phosphate, forexample, into the other semi of potash and then unloadthis blend into the shed and with skid loader moved itinto a bin in this pole shed.”

What triggered the concrete bunker idea? Those salt shedsused by the highway department caught Stanley’s eye.

“Back when I was feeding cattle I recalled those Hansonsilo ads showing different uses of their concrete bunkers. SoI called them, told them what I was needing,” Stanley said.“Their sales rep said he’d check with their engineers and getback to me. He also sent some photos of different salt shedsthey’ve built. I liked what I saw so we struck a deal.”

Stanley had earlier bought a used fertilizer blendingunit that was available from a fertilizer plant that wasbeing decommissioned.

A 16 by 16-foot sliding door at one end of the bunker alsoaccommodates the scale and fertilizer blender unit. In aFeb. 21 telephone visit with The Land, Stanley said abouttwo-thirds of his fertilizer was already in the bunker, with

the rest being delivered the first week in March.Besides this fertilizer bunker, he also built five hopper

bins, a seed treater unit (for spring wheat and soybeanseed) and special conveyor belts to load either seed or fer-tilizer. All this so their special tender truck gets loadedwith both seed and fertilizer — phosphate, potash andammonium sulfate. Once seeding starts, it’s a 24/7 opera-tion so the efficiency of one-stop loading for both productsis critical.They use anhydrous ammonia for their nitrogensource for wheat and corn; the grass seed fields get urea.

Stanley Farms spent about $425,000 for the entirestructure and special equipment. The concrete fertil-izer facility represents about $230,000 of that totalpackage.

A 60-foot-wide air seeder does the planting. This rigruns with a five-tank cart accommodating 980 bushelswhen loaded. Hitched behind this seeder is a fertilizertrailer with three separate tanks for on-the-go vari-able fertilizer application, depending upon the GPS-directed monitor.

Stanley Farms dates back to 1937 when his Norwegiangranddad bought 160 acres and hired someone to clearfive acres for buildings. Today Todd, his son Bill, andcousin Mike Jelle, are operational managers of StanleyFarms. Todd’s wife, Debra, is also a key business partner.Todd and Debra started farming on their own in 1975,and built up to about 3,500 acres by the late-1990s.

“My parents also farmed about 3,500 acres and whenthey retired in 1998 we rented their farm so that dou-bled us to 7,000 tillable acres. Since then it’s just beenbits and pieces getting us up to where we are today,”Stanley said. ❖

Concrete bunker for on-farm fertilizer storage


Last spring, Red-wood County (Minn.)corn and soybean pro-ducer Steve Prokoschjoined 24 other Min-nesota farmers on anine-day visit toChina. This soybeancheckoff-funded “See For Yourself ”trip was intended to let growers seedirectly how checkoff dollars are atwork overseas for them.

Prokosch liked what he saw.With a rapidly expanding hog and

poultry industry, and a huge aquacul-ture industry, China is the worldlargest importer of soybeans —including a lot of U.S. soybeans.

“Brazil is (our) biggest competitor,”he said. “But currently we were toldthat 47 percent of all China imports ofsoybeans are from the United States.So I think our soybean checkoff is

working great.”China made a big impression on

Prokosch.“I was amazed. The country is big

and we saw only a small portion, fly-ing into Shanghai, then to a smallercity, Gunzo, in south central China,which has the largest soybean crush-ing plant in the world; then a train to

Hong Kong and eventually back toAmerica.”

On the trip there, their plane firstflew from Minneapolis to Toronto, thenup over the North Pole and Russia,and 16 hours later arriving in Shang-hai. “Twenty years ago Shanghai was arice paddy,” Prokosch said. “Today it isa very modern, bustling city withincredible traffic both day and night itseemed. There’s 23 million people justin Shanghai. We were told China’s pop-ulation today is 1.4 billion people andeven with laws governing family size— one child per family — China’s pop-ulation is increasing at the rate of 6.7

million people per year.”What do the Chinese buyers for

these multitudes have to say aboutMinnesota soybeans? “They were verycomplimentary,” Prokosch said. “Theyeven mentioned that our beans arebetter than Brazil soybeans becausewe deliver much cleaner soybeans. Theprotein issue never came up but we didtell them about the higher amino acidlevels of Minnesota soybeans. We weretalking with people from this big soy-bean crushing plant so they knew evenbetter than us the importance of qual-ity.”

He said that China produces about464 million hogs each year, comparedto the United States’ 227 million.China’s hog industry is expected toexpand by 40 percent in the next fiveyears.

“With more people moving into thecities continually and earning moremoney, the Chinese want to eat better,so pork and poultry are ramping uprapidly,” he said.

“As amazing as it sounds, we weretold there are two new Kentucky FriedChicken restaurants being openedeach day.”

With some time for walking the busystreets of Shanghai and Hong Kong,Prokosch said the Chinese people werecordial and really wanted to visit. Theyhad no time for farm visits on this trip,but he said that Chinese agriculturefor the most part is still primitive, withsmall farms and small tractors, oreven water buffalo for power in ricecountry. Pork production is still mostlyjust a few sows, small sheds and handfeeding.

“We did visit one modern swine facil-ity that has 4,000 sows but we weren’tallowed to visit the barns,”Prokoschsaid. “They’re very concerned abouthealth and disease issues because intheir crowded environment a diseasebreak can move quickly. They gave us aslide presentation, and equipment andbuildings of this swine farm looked

very comparable to ours.“It had just received shipment of 30

boars from Nebraska so it wouldappear their genetics, at least in theselarger farms, are very much up tospeed with ours.”

Ford and General Motors have majorconstruction factories in China, asdoes Volkswagen; China cranks outseveral different brands as well. JohnDeere also has factories in China.About 9,000 new cars are added to thestreets of Shanghai each month; itcosts about $8,500 to buy a Chineseauto.

There are lots of high-rise apartmentbuildings but not much living space.

“Those apartments were 300 squarefeet to house the entire family,” hesaid, “sometimes up to six people withboth granddad and grandmother. Andthey don’t yet have refrigerators somany of the people go to the marketeach day. It’s called a ‘wet market.’Didn’t see microwaves or ovens. Seemsmost of their meals are cooked on astove, or cooked up as a stew.”

The Minnesota travelers dined as agroup each evening, always in the com-pany of Chinese businessmen. Foodwas good and conversations were open,he said, with no concerns about secu-rity or police looking over their shoul-ders.

Prokosch said Chinese business peo-ple have high regard for U.S. agricul-ture.

“And I think they really need us,” hesaid. “They don’t have enough farm-land to support themselves yet theirstandard of living is increasing. It’salready a great market for U.S. agri-culture and I think it will keep gettingbetter.”

Prokosch spoke at the Feb. 25 Pro Agof Renville County (Minn.) annualmeeting. His “See For Yourself” grouptraveled to China from March 27-April5, 2012. The 2013 “See For Yourself”China tour will be March 19-28. ❖

This column was writtenfor the marketing week end-ing March 15.

The U.S. Department ofAgriculture’s March 8 DairyMarket News says exportdemand is showingincreased interest as U.S.prices become more competi-tive internationally.

The U.S. Dairy ExportCouncil reported that Janu-ary U.S. dairy exports wereup 11 percent by volumeand 6 percent by value from December.Cheese, butterfat, dry whey and lactoseexports were up and the export value of$444.4 million was an eight-monthhigh. Cheese exports were up 13 per-cent and equivalent to 5.2 percent oftotal cheese production for the month.

The major exception to the trend wasnonfat dry milk/skim milk powder, down18 percent from the prior year. FromNovember-to-January, U.S. NDM/SMPexports were equivalent to just 38 per-cent of production, below the rate ofexports needed to prevent inventoriesfrom accumulating. As a result, U.S.stocks of NDM have expanded by 66,000tons in three months and dry wheyexports were down 14 percent from ayear ago, but January volume was themost since last June.

DairyBusiness Update adds that Janu-ary dairy imports, at $287 million, weredown 10 percent from December, up 13percent from January 2012, and the low-est monthly import value since October2012. The 2013 dairy trade surplus is$154 million, according to the DBU. At$75 million, January cheese imports weredown 45 percent from December and 2.5percent below January 2012. It’s the low-est monthly value for cheese importssince June 2012, according to the DBU.

The USDEC and NationalMilk Producers Federationwelcomed Prime MinisterShinzo Abe’s March 15 decla-ration of interest for Japan tojoin ongoing Trans-PacificPartnership trade talks. TheUSDEC’s Tom Suber said,“the addition of Japan, the No.3 economy in the world and amajor dairy importer, woulddramatically increase the sig-nificance of the talks. ... Alongwith Canada’s announcementthat it will join the talks,

Japan’s involvement adds additionalpotential for U.S. exports.”

But, Japan’s enrollment also bringschallenges, according to the USDEC.“Japan’s entry at this stage of the talkshas sparked concern that it could slowthe pace of negotiations with the poten-tial to delay or derail the ambitiousoutcome that the current members areseeking,” a USDEC press release said.

“As is the case with Canada, Japan isa large and profitable market thatcould provide immediate and measura-ble benefits for U.S. dairy producersand processors, but only if negotiatorsachieve real, tangible market access,”said Jaime Castaneda, senior vice pres-ident for strategic initiatives and tradepolicy of the NMPF and USDEC.

Sequestration has hit the dairy industry. TheNational Agricultural Statistics Service announcedthat it is suspending its monthly Milk Productionreport through the rest of the fiscal year, drawingfire from the NMPF and the International DairyFoods Association.

The last report will be issued March 19 but couldresume in October. Several other reports are being sus-pended but the one with the greatest impact on thedairy industry is the monthly milk production data.

Meanwhile, in one of the USDA’s reports that willremain; this week’s Livestock, Dairy, and PoultryOutlook, raised the number of U.S. dairy cows fromlast month’s estimate. Despite a poor milk-feed priceratio, January cow numbers were higher thanexpected, the Outlook said.

Forecast cow numbers were raised from last month forthe first half of 2013 and lowered from last month forthe second half of the year. The U.S. dairy herd isexpected to average 9.195 million head for 2013, a con-traction from 2012 but higher than February’s forecast.Output per cow was raised slightly to 21,960 pounds,based on higher milk per cow in the first quarter.

Checking the markets, retail cheese demand ismodest while food service accounts report increaseddemand for mozzarella for pizza promotions, accord-ing to the DMN.

Both were up a pennyon the week and 2.75 cents above a year ago on theblocks and three-quarter cents on the barrels. Fourteencarloads of block and four of barrel traded hands thisweek. The Agricultural Marketing Service-surveyed U.S.average block price lost 1.6 cents, slipping to $1.6446.Barrel averaged $1.6245, down 2.6 cents.

Butter also saw a second week of gain, closing Fri-day at $1.6550, up 2.5 cents on the week and 14cents above a year ago. Only three cars were sold onthe week. The AMS butter price averaged $1.5764,down 1.7 cents.

Speaking of California, the DBU’sDave Natzke reported in Friday’sDairyLine that high feed prices in 2012compounded already difficult times forthe Golden State’s dairy producers, stillreeling from a collapse of prices in2009.

He references a new report fromRabobank, warning that California’sdairy industry is at a pivotal point inits future.

In their report, “California Dairies:Getting More Moola,” Rabobank ageconomist Vernon Crowder, and JamesDeJong, dairy industry analyst, putmuch of the blame for current prob-lems on the state’s seven-decade-oldmilk marketing order system.

They say the system has distortedmilk prices and revenue distribution,discouraged investment in processingcapacity and technology, and encour-aged overproduction of milk. Withprices following the volatility of theChicago Mercantile Exchange, proces-sors have stayed with staple products,such as non-fat dry milk, butter andcheddar cheese to maintain margins,instead of investing in more innovationthat may have put them in better posi-tion for export markets.

Due to these factors, the reportacknowledged California dairy produc-ers have received an average of$1.50/cwt. of milk less than their coun-terparts in the rest of the UnitedStates, with the gap growing in recentyears.

The report noted changes to the Cali-fornia dairy industry will take collabo-ration between producers and proces-sors. But, that relationship has beenstrained recently with debate over thevalue of whey in the state’s Class 4bmilk pricing formula.

Another debate is shaping up overtransportation allowances, with a pub-lic hearing scheduled for April 4.

The news isn’t all bad, Natzke said.The report notes that about 20 percentof California milk production is nowexported, and steps are being taken toboost that. However, the report warnedthat dairy co-ops must do more, andrapidly, concluding that “California’s

dairy industry is at a pivotal point.”Complete details are in this week’sDBU or log on to www.dairyline.com.

■

The DBU also reported that Califor-nia Dairies Inc., the state’s largestdairy processing cooperative,announced support for dairy producermargin insurance as a stand-alone pro-gram, as offered in the Goodlatte-ScottAmendment to the Dairy Security Act.

The dairy title of the next farm billshould include risk management toolsfor dairy producers, the CDI said in apress release.

“CDI applauds Congressman Good-latte, who has taken the time to conceivean alternative program that will allowdairy producers to better manage theirmargins,” the CDI said. “The voluntaryprogram provides a viable safety net fordairy producers without requiring themto be subjected to government-run supplymanagement constraints.”

The NMPF, on the other hand, reaf-firmed its support for “a better safetynet for dairy farmers” at the Federa-tion’s spring meeting this week. TheNMPF expects the Senate agriculturecommittee to begin work on a new farmbill next month and the NMPF’s lead-ership said that “a new, voluntary dairyprogram known as the Dairy SecurityAct which combines margin insurancewith market stabilization, remains crit-ical to the future of the industry.”

“Our members went through a toughyear in 2012, with high feed costs andlow milk prices putting the squeeze onfarmers across the country,” said RandyMooney, chairman of the NMPF, and adairy farmer from Rogersville, Mo.

Those high feed prices were a topicfrom Daily Dairy Report analyst, SaraDorland, also a managing partner inCeres Dairy Risk Management LLC inSeattle, in the March 8 “Daily DairyDiscussion” posted on the DDR web-site. She reported that the USDA’s esti-mates for ending corn stocks for 2012-13 were unchanged in the latest WorldAgricultural Supply and Demand Esti-mates report.

Corn imports were raised 25 millionpounds and feed demand was increased100 million bushels versus the priorreport, she said, and offsetting thegains were further lower revisions toexports, a decline of 75 million bushelsversus last month’s report.

“Grain traders were not expectingrevisions to corn and as such the reportwas viewed as mildly bullish,” Dorlandsaid. “Corn futures responded to the

report by closing higher on the day.Similarly, the USDA maintained itssoybean balance sheet, which came asa surprise to the trade. Both crush andexport demand have been running at apace that will likely exceed USDA fore-casts, so expectations were for at leastone of the demand estimates to berevised higher. Soybean futures, inturn, responded by moving lower.”

The USDA also revised Argentina’scorn and soybean production estimates

slightly lower, and the USDAincreased its milk production and all-milk price forecast for 2013 but “whileincreased milk price forecasts will bewelcome news at the farm level, firm-ing feed prices may keep pressure onnear-term margins,” she said.

Farmers usually enjoy a yield boostwhen corn is planted following analfalfa crop. The major reasons:reduced pest and disease pressure,better soil structure that enhancesroot growth and water infiltration,

and an altered soil microbial commu-nity, said Jeff Coulter, a corn agrono-mist with University of MinnesotaExtension.

Alfalfa also reduces nitrogen fertil-

izer needs in corn. Nitrogen fertilizerfor first-year corn following a goodalfalfa crop can often be reduced by upto 100 percent, and by about 50 per-cent for second-year corn. Thenitrogen passed onto the corn islargely due to addi-tions of nitrogen-rich inputs fromalfalfa to soilorganic matter.

These include alfalfaleaves and stems lostduring harvest, alfalfastand losses over time,turnover of thin alfalfaroots and substancesthat exude out of alfalfaroots. They mineralizerapidly after alfalfa isterminated and releasenitrogen for at least two years.

With funding from the MinnesotaCorn Growers Association, the Min-nesota Agricultural FertilizerResearch and Education Council, andthe Minnesota Agricultural WaterResource Center, Coulter and co-work-ers recently completed on-farmresearch that confirms the nitrogen“credits” from alfalfa to corn. From2009 to 2011, research on first-yearnitrogen credits was conducted on 31farms across Minnesota and Wisconsinwith medium- to fine-textured soils.Only three of the 31 farms hadincreases in grain yield from addingnitrogen fertilizer to first-year cornafter alfalfa. The three responsivefarms had fine-textured soils andexcessive early season precipitation,

which likely slowed mineralization. Itwas also found that nitrogen fertilizerrates could be reduced if the nitrogenwas side-dressed rather than applied

near planting.In 2011 and

2012, research onsecond-year nitro-gen credits wasconducted on 11farms in Min-nesota withmedium- to fine-textured soils.Surprisingly, fourof 11 farmsrequired no nitro-gen fertilizer tomaximize grainand silage yield.The economicallyoptimum nitrogenrate varied among

the seven responsive farms, but wasoften at least half as large as that forcontinuous corn. As in first-year corn,side-dress applications of nitrogenallowed growers to reduce fertilizerrates without sacrificing yield.

“Farmers are our active researchpartners, and help us perform the fieldoperations,” Coulter said. To helpspread the word on the results, nineon-farm field days were held over thelast three years and were attended bygrowers and farm advisers managingover one million acres of farmland.

Alfalfa-corn rotation ups yield, reduces nitrogen fertilizer needs

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsackannounced that rural electric coopera-tives and utilities in 12 states willreceive loan guarantees to improvegeneration and transmission facilitiesand implement smart grid technolo-gies. The announcement was made onthe secretary’s behalf by USDA RuralUtilities Acting Administrator JohnPadalino during the annual meeting ofthe National Rural Electric Coopera-tive Association in New Orleans.

The announcement includes supportfor more than $8 million in smart gridtechnologies, which help utilities makeefficiency improvements to the electricgrid and help consumers lower their

electric bills by reducing energy use inhomes and businesses.

Runestone Electric Association inMinnesota received $22 million to beused to build 82 miles of distributionline and make other system improve-ments. The loan amount includes$379,100 for smart grid projects.

The $330 million in loan guaranteesannounced are provided the by USDA’sRural Utilities Service. The fundinghelps electric utilities upgrade,expand, maintain and replace ruralAmerica’s electric infrastructure. TheUSDA also funds energy conservationand renewable energy projects. ❖

Nitrogen fertilizer forfirst-year corn followinga good alfalfa crop canoften be reduced by upto 100 percent, and byabout 50 percent forsecond-year corn. Thenitrogen passed on tothe corn is largely dueto additions of nitrogen-rich inputs from alfalfato soil organic matter.

Manure has been used as a nutrient source for cropproduction for many centuries. However, only in thelast few decades have we started to fully understandthe chemistry involved in manure nutrient availabil-ity.

Phosphorus in manure is a valuable resource forcrop production when applied correctly and hasproven to improve crop yield to higher levels thancommercial fertilizer. In contrast, inappropriate useof animal manure has been reported to negativelyimpact the environment. Therefore, it’s important tounderstand the forms of phosphorus in manure andhow manure interacts with soil before improvedmanure management strategies can be developed.

Phosphorus in manure is present in the organicand inorganic forms. Those phosphorus forms can befurther divided into dissolved and precipitated asinorganic minerals and organic compounds. Theamount of phosphorus present in a manure sampleis highly variable and depends on the animalspecies, animal age, duration of manure storage,type of manure storage and other factors. Manuretesting is essential to determine the real concentra-tion of phosphorus in a given sample at any giventime.

The availability of the manure phosphorus isdependent on the quantity of the dissolved form, andalso on the solubility of the precipitated mineralsand organic compounds. The dissolved phosphorus isalready in solution, and is highly mobile until it is incontact with soil particles, which provide sites wherethe phosphorus can attach and become less mobile.However, manure placed on the soil surface andwithout being incorporated is highly susceptible torunoff with rainwater. To assure that phosphorusstays in the field where it belongs, incorporationsoon after manure application is important.

Once manure is applied to soils, the soil pH andsoil texture (clay content) will also have an impor-tant effect on how available manure phosphorus is.Soils with low pH (less than 7.0) will promote miner-als to dissolve fast and the manure phosphorus willbecome available rather quickly, whereas soils withhigh pH (greater than 7.0, like soils in the western

part of Minnesota) will dissolve more slowly. Stud-ies are starting to report that the clay present insoils may interact with microbes and as a resultaffect mineralization of the organic phosphorus.Phosphorus in organic compounds must first bemineralized before it can become available for plantuptake. Research has shown that soils high in claycontent (greater than 12 percent) might have lowermineralization of organic phosphorus.

The organic phosphorus may stay stored in thesoil for more than one cropping season, which wouldprovide a source of phosphorus for following grow-ing seasons. This is also one of the forms of manurephosphorus that has been called residual manurephosphorus. The residual phosphorus from manurecan be any form of the inorganic or organic phos-phorus that did not dissolve and reacted with thesoil in the first year after the manure application.

Grain AnglesWait and see onthe ’13 drought

A week ago, I traveled back to Kansas with mydaughter for a college tour. All of the talk about howdry the Plains states had been has given the cropcondition ratings a headache.

Yet, 12 inches of snow several weeks ago has donewonders to rejuvenate the crop asit is coming out of dormancy. Onenight on the trip, the wind blewin from the south and the rainbegan to pour. In the morning mydaughter looked out the windowof our motel at a wheat field andsaid “Dad, can you say ‘mud’?”There is a reason they growwheat in Kansas. It can hang onand make something out of whatappears to be nothing.

I know most of you are askingyourselves, “What does this haveto do with corn and soybeans inMinnesota?” Well, I am using thisas an illustration of what can happen to a crop whenwe think that a drought is imminent. Many in thegrain (farmers) and the grain processing business(livestock and ethanol) have thought that a back-to-back drought was imminent.

This eventually may happen and one rain does notbreak a drought. However only time will tell and weare still early in the new crop season.

How many are holding 2012 grain unpriced orwithout a “floor,” using options; betting on a drought?How many have locked in a “floor” under profits onthe 2013 crop? This is truly a tough market environ-ment in which to manage risk. As we know “hind-sight is 20/20” and the future is unclear.

Grain OutlookChina looking at Indian corn

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing March 15.

CORN — It was a light news week in post-reporttrading, but corn found enough interested parties togain 13 1/2 cents for the week.

The lead May contract closedat $7.17 with the new cropDecember contract up 14 3/4cents at $5.61 3/4 per bushel.

Weekly export sales were goodat 11.1 million bushels, keepingtotal commitments down 54 per-cent compared to last year. Wehave 65 percent of the total pro-jected sales on the books. TheU.S. Department of Agriculture isprojecting a 47-percent decline inthis year’s exports.

There was some chatter in thetrade that central European cornis being scrutinized for aflatoxin. China bought13,700 metric tons of Indian corn as a test. India iscurrently not on China’s approved list of importers.We’ll keep listening to hear if this will impact U.S.corn export business.

Ethanol production fell 8,000 barrels per day to797,000 barrels per day for the week ending March 8and inventories shrank to 18.7 million barrels, a 15-week low. Some ethanol facilities are bidding for softred winter wheat to run through their plants, as wellas looking at sorghum to replace some corn bushels.

Planting progress is already getting behind lastyear’s pace, which may limit those September har-vested bushels that the market depended on last fallto get us to the new marketing year. The U.S. drought

Livestock AnglesMarket-ready

cattle on declineThe erratic behavior and high volatility in the live-

stock markets are alive and well. March has defi-nitely come in like a lion in both cattle and hogs, withdiffering results.

The cattle market is struggling with the fundamen-tal scenario of supply versusdemand as the new monthbegan. The supplies of market-ready cattle is on the decrease atthe present time, which wouldmake one think that priceswould be rising rapidly as pack-ers scramble for live inventory.However, this is not the case asprices have struggled to remainsteady and the futures markethas seen a major drop in priceschanging the premium basis to aflat to negative basis.

That brings up the other side ofthe equation, the demand side. Despite the fact thatthe beef cutout has made a quick and dramaticincrease in price over a relatively short period oftime. The fact is that the movement of beef especiallydomestically has been extremely poor. Beef cutoutsmoved from the mid-$180s per hundredweight to theupper-$190s in just over a weeks, while the volumeshrunk from around a thousand loads of choice cutsto just over 500 loads.

Once again as the price for choice cuts moves overthe $190/cwt. level, demand seems to shrink rapidly.It would appear this scenario will continue to playout unless the economy suddenly improves dramati-cally in the near future. That will probably mean cat-tle prices will stay somewhat range-bound over thenear term to slightly lower. Producers should con-

NYSTROM, from pg. 20area shrank 2 percent thisweek to 36 percent of theUnited States under drought condi-tions.

OUTLOOK: Basis levels were firmthis week, but reports of ethanolplants buying wheat and sorghummay slightly limit the upside for cornshort term, but the amount that isthought will be used shouldn’t have asharply negative effect.

Overall, this week’s action in cornwas friendly. May corn’s range of $6.90

to $7.22 remainsintact, but the upper

limit is being chal-lenged. If $7.22 is taken out, the nextresistance is closer to $7.50 per bushel.You may want to consider where youwill make additional new crop sales,but ultimately this price will be drivenby planted acreage and weather.

The prospective plantings report willbe released on March 28. Some pri-vates may be leaning toward loweringtheir earlier corn acreage estimates.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans forged

their own path lower this week as theMay contract plummeted 45 cents forthe week to close at $14.26 per bushel.New crop November fared better, onlydown 7 1/2 cents at $12.61 perbushel.

A lack of new sales, rumors ofChina canceling Brazilianbean purchases andunwinding of spreadsagainst corn were noted fac-tors for the decline. The solenew crop sales announce-ment came out on Fridaywhen China bought 165,000mt of new crop U.S. soybeans.

The weekly export sales numberswere bland. Old crop bean sales of 24.2million dropped our lead over last yearby 1 percent to 16 percent ahead of lastyear’s total commitments, but theUSDA is forecasting a one-percentdecline in this year’s exports. Ninety-seven percent of the forecasted exportssales are currently committed. Newcrop sales were down 87 percent fromthe previous week’s sales at only 4.7million bushels.

The monthly National OilseedProcessors Association crush waslighter than anticipated with only136.3 million bushels crushed. Basislevels in the United States and Brazilwere softer this week. Brazilian beanharvest is pegged around 50 percentcomplete.

OUTLOOK: The scheduled portworkers strike in Brazil for March 19

has been postponed until March 26 toallow more time for negotiations. Ifthe pace of loading in Brazil staysconstant, the line-up could be cleaned

up in “just” 138 days. Therewere whispers this week thatsome Brazilian bean ship-

ments were gettingswitched to Argentina tocut their demurrage bill.

Soybeans took the bruntof selling this week, but

the range of $14 to $15remains. The March 28prospective plantings report

and grain stocks report will beinteresting and we may turn side-ways before then. At least one privatecrop firm is suggesting their initialbean acreage number may increase.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changesfor the week ending March 15: Min-neapolis wheat was only down 4 1/4cents compared to losses of 26 cents inChicago and 17 1/2 cents in KansasCity. Crude oil climbed $1.50 to$93.45 this week while heating oil fell3 1/2 cents, gasoline lost nearly 4cents and natural gas shot up 24 1/4cents. The U.S. dollar fell about 1/2point for the week. The Grain Stocksand Prospective Planting reports willbe published on March 28, followed bythe three-day Easter weekend.

TEALE, from pg. 20tinue to monitor the market and pro-tect inventories when necessary.

The hog market appears to finally befinding a point where prices may bestabilizing. Both the live price and thecutout price have been under quite abit of pressure for several weeks. It waspartly due to the apparent increase inhog numbers during February intoearly March.

Weather may also have been a factoras the logistics of moving product tomarket was disrupted by several win-ter storms. The interesting scenario isthat with the pork cut price droppingover the past month, the movement of

pork product has slowed at the sametime.

With pork being probably the bestmeat value, why is the demand slip-ping for pork? Apparently this is areflection of the drop in disposableincome showing up in the demand sideof the supply-demand equation. Thiswould indicate that unless economicimprovement is seen, hog prices mayrally in the short term, but the longterm would be questionable for a long-term sustainable rally.

Therefore, producers should main-tain an eye on the market and protectinventories when opportunities pres-ent themselves. ❖

Hogs appear to finally befinding stabilizing point

NEHER, from pg. 20It is easy to second-guess oneself or

hold out for “hope” in the classic cycleof greed. Those who say grain market-ing is easy, have likely never had much“skin in the game.”

On the brighter side, the grain mar-ket’s inverses between the nearby andthe deferred contracts is an indicationof continued strong demand. Basis lev-els remain strong as buyers have to bidhigher as the futures contracts havesagged. We are getting near the “battlefor acres” as the planting season growsnearer. There are some technical indi-cators that suggest that a run to theupside may be near.

The practice of risk management isalways important and the opportunityto use crop insurance to mitigate muchof the risk is helpful. Yet, if we do get

another chance at a nice run up inprices, we may want to take some moreof the risk “off the table.”

I have told this story before, but itremains pertinent today. My Grandpahad a “sweet tooth” and he especiallyloved cookies. On occasion, I would finda box of cookies stashed away in theglove box of his pick-up truck. One timewhen I was riding with him I askedhim about the cookies, because I knewthat Grandmother would not be toohappy about that because she was ahealth food enthusiast long before itwas popular.

Planting season coming;battle for acres beginning

The U.S. Department of Agriculturerecently announced a general Conser-vation Reserve Program sign-up in2013 from May 20 through June 14 atlocal Farm Service Agency officesthroughout the country.

General CRP sign-ups were alsoheld in 2012 when 3.6 million acreswere accepted into CRP, in 2011 with3.75 million acres accepted, and in2010 when about 4.2 million acreswere accepted. In 2013, the CRP is cel-ebrating its 27th anniversary, andover two and a half decades of conser-vation success. The CRP was origi-

nally established in the 1985 farm bill,and today has over 700,000 CRP con-tracts on over 390,000 farms, with justover 27.0 million acres under some-type of CRP contracts.

The USDA has cited the CRP as thelargest and most important conserva-tion program in recent decades in thiscountry. The CRP continues to makemajor contributions to national effortsto improve water and air quality, pre-vent soil erosion, protect environmen-tally sensitive land and enhancewildlife populations. Some of the bene-fits of the CRP cited by USDA include:

• 450 million tons of soilerosion reduced annually.

• Each year, the CRPkeeps more than 600 millionpounds of nitrogen and morethan 100 million pounds ofphosphorus from flowinginto rivers, streams andlakes in the United States.

• 2 million acres of wet-lands and buffers restored.

• 2 million acres of streambank protected alongrivers and streams.

• Enhanced popula-tions of ducks, pheas-ants, quail and other wildlife species.

• The CRP provides over $1.8 billionper year to private landowners, whichare dollars that help support local busi-nesses and the local economy.

• The CRP is the largest privatelands carbon sequestration program inthe United States. In 2012, the CRPresulted in carbon sequestration equalto taking almost 9 million cars off theroad.

• There are currently 45Conservation ReserveEnhancement Programs in33 states in targeted water-sheds, which has generatedover $ 1 billion in additionalstate and private funds forfederal conservation effortsthrough the CRP.

The bids that are offeredinto the CRP for 2013 willbe evaluated, using the“environmental benefits

index.” The USDA plansto target the most envi-ronmentally sensitive

land with the 2013 CRPsign-up, in order to reduce soil erosion,protect water and air quality, and toenhance wildlife protection and carbonsequestration. There will continue to bespecial focus on buffer strips nearrivers and streams. Following are theEBI factors used by the FSA to evalu-ate CRP contract offers.

• Water quality benefits fromreduced erosion, runoff and leaching.

PROGRAMS, from pg. 22• Wildlife habitat benefits

from land covers on the CRPcontract acreage.

• On-farm benefits from reduced soil erosion.• Air quality benefits from reduced wind erosion.• Benefits that will likely endure beyond the CRP

contract period.• Cost per acre for the CRP rental contract.Producers with existing CRP contracts that are

expiring in 2013 will have no preferential status forkeeping their land in the CRP after this year, andmust re-submit a new CRP bid to be re-enrolled inthe CRP. Land that is currently not enrolled in theCRP may also be offered up for enrollment in theCRP for 2013. The CRP contracts that are acceptedwill become effective on Oct. 1, with the first CRPpayments in September 2014.

The USDA adjusts the maximum annual CRPrental rates for CRP sign-up each year on a county-by-county basis. The maximum rental rates arebased on the relative productivity of the soils withineach county, and on the average dry land cash rental

rate for each county, based on the NationalAgriculture Statistics Service annual land

rental analysis. Landowners are provided themaximum allowable CRP rental rate prior to thedecision for CRP sign-up. They may offer land for apotential CRP contract at that rental rate, or maychoose to lower the rental rate that is offered. Lower-ing the acceptable rental rate below the maximumallowable rental rate may increase the likelihood ofacceptance of the CRP offering, since land cost is oneof the factors considered by the USDA in approvingCRP contracts.

The current average CRP land rental in the UnitedStates is $60.84 per acre; however, the CRP rentalrates vary widely from state-to-state, and within dif-

ferent regions of a given state. The current averageCRP rental rate in Minnesota is $75.73/acre; how-ever, most CRP annual land rental rates in south-ern Minnesota are considerably higher than thestate average rate. Some other current average CRPrental rates for Midwestern states are Iowa at$140.54/acre, South Dakota at $66.03/acre andNorth Dakota at $41.18/acre.

The USDA tries to keep the maximum CRPacreage in any given county at 25 percent of thetotal tillable acres in that county, but the USDAdoes have the authority to exceed that limit to meethighly erodible land requirements, and if there is

PROGRAMS, from pg. 23deemed to be no adverse eco-nomic impacts from the addedCRP acreage in that county.

As of February, there was a total ofjust over 27.0 million acres enrolledin the CRP, which is down from 31.1million acres on Sept. 30, 2009, anddown 27 percent, or 9.8 million acres,from 36.8 million acres on Sept. 30,2007. Currently there are approxi-mately 21.5 million acres under gen-eral CRP contracts, 3.9 million acresunder continuous CRP contracts, 1.3million acres under CREP contracts,and 340,000 acres in the FarmableWetland program. Sign-up for thecontinuous CRP is on-going, and islikely to continue for the foreseeablefuture, with or without a new farmbill.

The continuous CRP targets themost-sensitive environmental landareas, such as filter strips, buffers,wetlands, etc. The CREP is a CRP

partnershipwith state con-servation pro-

grams, which target specific water-sheds.

In 2012, CRP contracts expired on6.5 million acres, but landownersoffered only 4.5 million acres forenrollment into the CRP during thegeneral CRP sign-up period. Of thattotal, the USDA accepted approxi-mately 3.9 million acres into the CRP,resulting in a net reduction of about2.1 million acres. Strong crop pricesand net farm incomes from crop pro-duction in 2011 and 2012, along withincreasing cash rental rates, probablydiscouraged some landowners from re-enrolling some crop land into the CRPin 2012. Continued strong crop pricesand further increases in cash rentalrates in 2013 are likely to again affectthe number of expiring CRP acresthat are offered for re-enrollment dur-ing the CRP sign-up period in 2013.With about 3.3 million CRP acres set

to expire in 2013, a CRP enrollmentsimilar to 2012 would reduce the totalCRP acreage to under 26 million acresby the end of 2013.

There is a lot of uncertainty regard-ing the level of acres will be offered oraccepted for re-enrollment into theCRP during the 2013 sign-up period.The current CRP acreage cap is 32million acres, which was set by the2008 farm bill, which was a reductionfrom the maximum CRP acreage inthe United States of 39 million acresfrom 2002-08. The 32 million acreCRP cap was maintained for 2013,due to the farm bill extension thatwas passed by Congress earlier thisyear, and signed by President Obama.Both the U.S. Senate and U.S. Houseagriculture committee versions of anew farm bill that were passed in2012 called for the maximum level ofCRP acreage to be reduced down to 25million acres for the next five years.

Most likely, when the next farm bill

is reconsidered later this year, themaximum CRP acreage will stay near25 million acres.

General CRP contracts are usually10-year contracts that expire Sept. 30in a given year, while continuous CRPcontracts and CREP contracts areusually 10- to 15-year contracts alsoexpiring on Sept. 30 of a given year.Following are the expiring CRP acreson Sept. 30 each year for the next fiveyears.

PROGRAMS, from pg. 24percentage of acres from expiring CRPcontracts have been returned back toproduction in the Upper Midwest andPlains states, compared to other areasof the United States.

In 2012, over 3.2 million acres ofexpiring CRP land was returned backto crop production, with over with over10 million acres being returned to cropproduction since 2009. See the tablebelow for a listing in order of the top 11CRP states, and the number of CRPacres expiring on Sept. 30, 2013, andSept. 30, 2014.

For more information on the generalCRP sign-up, or the continuous CRP,land owners should contact their localFSA office, or log on to the USDA CRPwebsite, www.fsa.usda.gov/crp.The future of CRP

The CRP is likely to be a key focal

point during the devel-opment of the next farmbill in the comingmonths.

In an era when the Congress and theadministration are looking to reducethe federal budget deficit, there will bepressure to reduce the current annualexpenditure of just over $2.0 billion onthe CRP, including about $1.7 billionon annual rental payments. KeepingCRP acres enrolled in future years inMidwestern states, where the averageland rental rates have increased dra-matically in recent years, will likely bemuch more expensive for the USDA.

Others feel that we need to reduceCRP acreage in the future due to theneed for expanded U.S. grain produc-tion to meet the demand for world foodneeds and renewable energy produc-tion.

The CRP remainsextremely popular with

many farm, wildlife andenvironmental organizations, as wellas with members of Congress. The bot-tomline is that the CRP has 27 years ofsuccess in protecting sensitive environ-mental lands, reducing soil erosion,improving water quality and enhancing

wildlife. The CRP will likely continueto be a major USDA conservation pro-gram for many years to come.

Allyson Stanek of Hay-ward, Minn., has earnedthe National JuniorAngus Association’sBronze award, accordingto Robin Ruff, junioractivities director of the AmericanAngus Association in Saint Joseph, Mo.

The 12-year-old daughter of Mikeand Laurie Stanek attends SouthwestMiddle School. Stanek is a member ofthe NJAA and Minnesota JuniorAngus Association.

She has participated in local,regional, state and national shows andshowmanship competitions. At theNational Junior Angus Show, she hasparticipated in the photo and postercontests.

Stanek has submitted cattle to theAngus Herd Improvement Records.

The Bronze award is thefirst of three levels of theNJAA Recognition Pro-gram that began in1972. Junior Angusbreeders must apply for

the awards, then meet point require-ments in many areas of participationbefore receiving the honors.

Applicants are evaluated in areas ofjunior Angus association activities andleadership, participation in showman-ship, contests and shows, using per-formance testing to improve their herdand their progress in producing andmerchandising Angus cattle.

The NJAA promotes the involvementof young people in raising Angus cattle,while also providing leadership andself-development opportunities for thenearly 6,000 active members nation-wide. ❖

Minnesota youth earns Junior Bronze Award

There’s an awful lot of pride out here in thenation’s heartland.

Part of that comes from the fact that, in order tolive in the heartland, you first have to have a lot ofheart; and if you have a shred of work ethic to pairit with, then you’ll fit in without even being noticed.That’s just the way I think rural people are.

When I think of the word “rural,” it creates a lot of

visual images. I think of the mailbox at the end of afarm driveway. I think of the noon-time meal of “din-ner,” and the evening meal of “supper.” I see sweatypeople stacking bales on a hay rack.

I think of a barn — and a basketball hoop in the haymow; silos, grain bins, and a yellow school bus comingdown the road at 7 a.m. to pick up kids who may havealready been out to do their chores. I see row crops, a

tire swing hanging from an oldcottonwood tree and semi truckson the county fairgrounds,backed up to the show arena onlivestock sale day ... and 4-H andFFA kids of all ages showingtheir animals that day withheavy hearts and even throughoutright tears.

Yes, the rural life is a richand layered one, indeed.

I did a very unofficial surveyrecently, asking other peoplewhat the word “rural” meantto them. Their answers were better than anything Icould have come up with.

• Grandparents’ farms, with ponds at which to gofishing, and hearing the farm animals bellering andbirds singing; neighbors pulling together to helpeach other out;

• Seeing God in all things that grow; rejoicing inhaving such a great place to raise children;

• Meeting a farmer driving an old tractor on theroad (gravel flying behind it), and receiving the “offi-cial farmer’s wave” of the index finger being liftedfrom the steering wheel;

By Karen Schwaller

See SCHWALLER, pg. 27

SCHWALLER, from pg. 26• The different colors of the fields throughout the

seasons — the black of late winter/early spring; thegreen of spring and summer; the harvest-gold colorof fall, and the white of winter, covering the groundlike a blanket and once again, letting it rest;

• One grown-up “city kid” said she loved it whenshe visited her farm cousins on vacation when shewas growing up because of how basic their lives were— from food, to work, to family;

• Little farming towns, large, old wooden barns;farmers who love what they do and teach the samelove of the land and animals to their own children;the farmer’s hat; watching beautiful sunrises andsunsets over land filled with growing crops;

• Late-night suppers, close-knit relationships whereneighbors are like extended family members; workinghard and long hours, but having fun doing that work;

• The amazing feeling of accomplishment when fin-ishing a field or raising livestock and knowing it willhelp feed America; a life that brings family andfriends closer, and the special bond you have withpeople in small town communities; fair time andshowing livestock with your friends, and missing thepeople from your hometown once you move away;

• Hard work; the quiet; and friends who under-stand what your life is like;

• Being in tune with nature; understanding theconnection to the land that can’t be explained, butmust be felt; sitting on the front porch and hearingthe crickets and watching the stars;

• Being able to walk downtown (alone) at age 7,because everyone looked out for everyone; when the6 p.m. whistle blew, you knew it was time to go hometo eat supper; neighborhood baseball games, churchpotluck dinners, and baking Christmas goodies andtaking them to elderly shut-ins;

• A strong work ethic, determination to make a betterlife for all the people they care about; early mornings, latenights, working together; trusting your neighbors and notexpecting payment for helping them; making do; home-cooked meals enjoyed as a family (sometimes at oddhours) on a daily basis; prayers, Sunday morning churchservice, and supporting kids’ school activities; trusting thatwhen you help your neighbors and friends, that they willbe there to help you in your hour of need also.

And so I ask you, what does “rural” mean to you?

One of my Iowa respondents concluded, “Where elsebut in rural America would these things happen?Thank God we were born and raised in rural Iowa.”

Lime Spreading“Have you checked your soil PH lately”

Advantages we offer:• We unload directly from the trucks to a floater

(Terra Gator) without stockpiling material.This gives us a more uniform spread with nofoliage to plug up the spreader.

• With direct loading there is no stockpile, nowasted lime or mess in your field.

• We use a floater (Terra Gator) to spread sowe have less compaction.

• We are equipped to spread variable rate usingGPS mapping.

• We service Minnesota and northern Iowa.Why apply Aglime:• A soil ph level of 5.5 nitrogen efficiency is only

77 percent.• A soil ph level of 6.0 nitrogen efficiency still is

only 89 percent.• At a soil ph level of 7.0 fertilizer efficiency is

100 percent.

Tiny furniture

On 2nd Thought,Lake Benton, Minn.

EEvery day, thousands of pieces offurniture are being thrownaway. At least that is the case if

you have the creative minds of LeAnnWinship and Jeanine Fricke.

This mother-and-daughter teamwork together to furnish doll houses —and all of their furniture, lamps, acces-sories and utensils are made fromrecycled and repurposed items, alongwith scraps of wood and fabric.

In their imaginative eyes, lipsticktubes become trash cans, lamp shadesand umbrella stands. Microwave din-ner trays are bathtubs, watches and

wood scraps make grandfather clocks,and plastic medicine vials end up asphones and vacuum cleaners.

Years ago LeAnn made doll furniturefor her daughters, and a while back Jea-nine furnished a doll house for her grand-daughters. Both have been craft makersand sellers for many years, and in the lastfour years moved with their husbands toa home near Lake Benton, Minn.

“We decided this would be a fun thingwe could do together,” Jeanine said.

They will sell rooms of furniture orcompletely furnished doll houses. Dan

Fricke builds and wires the house.Miles Winship chips in by cutting outfurniture pieces. Right now they buildand furnish five different houses —Rustic, English Country, Victorian,Traditional and Modern. They also cus-tom build and decorate.

Their work room and closet are fullof containers with buttons, pieces ofjewelry, golf tees, small boxes, spicejars, compact cases, corks, etc., theyhave saved or collected from friends.No small item gets thrown away.

“We’ll hold it up and ask, ‘What canwe use it for?’” LeAnn said.

Both boys and girls love to reach intotheir doll houses and move furniture, setthe table with a bowl of fruit and glassesof milk, or fry a pan of bacon and eggs.

For both children and adults, half thefun is recognizing what you’re lookingat. Oh, yes, that floor radio was a saltshaker. That spoon is a clasp from anearring. And what do you suppose thatfireplace once was?
