CATTLEMEN’S STEAK FRY SHOWS OFF

THE POWER OF BEEF — SEE PAGE 5

One could talk about the weather, butwhat’s new?

The obvious, you crops guys are two tothree weeks behind last year. In 2010most of you had already put your plant-ing equipment back in the shed by now.Even lots of soybeans got April plantedlast year.

This year it’s a May planting rush forMinnesota’s 15.5 million acres of cornand soybeans. But not until May 15 doyou have real concerns about changing toearlier maturities. So just go with it andenjoy. The good Lord didn’t do wrongwith you last year. Not likely to happenthis year either as long as you do all the“right things” on your end.

But before you do anything else, even reading therest of this column, do this: turn on your computer,go to Google.com and type in “One Hungry Planet.”

It’s a four-minute run. It’s all about you, and it’s atremendous message. Now send the same request toall your non-agricultural friends and neighbors,including your banker and pastor. This four-minuteshot packs more information than any four-minuteexperience in my life.Making sense of political talk

So now what? Political talk is always on someone’sagenda, especially at our morning “intelligence ses-sions” at the Round Table at the Chatterbox Café inOlivia.

In St. Paul, DesMoines and Washing-ton, D.C., (and at theRound Table) the hag-gling continues on howand who pays the bill.

Since higher taxesaren’t going to work, itshould be obvious thatspending less is still theonly “common sense” objec-tive to making budget bat-tles work. We’ve gottenlazy with entitlements forjust about every categoryof person.

Let’s do some trimming. $4 gas will trim lots ofunnecessary travel. Getting used to a tighter belt isuncomfortable but only for a short time. Most of usseniors could coast along with a bit less of just abouteverything, except friendship and love.

If most government agencies, counties, towns,cities, even schools have to make do with fewer dol-lars, so be it.

Pointing fingers is OK too. Just remem-ber four more are pointing back at you.Here’s a few words from a recent column ofCharley Reese, a retired reporter for theOrlando Sentinel. He’s been a journalistfor 49 years, seen it all, wrote about every-thing but always the eye for human dig-nity. In this recent column “545 People,” hepointed fingers. Some of Reese’s comments:

Politicians are the only people in theworld who create problems and then cam-paign against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both Democ-rats and Republicans are againstdeficits, why do we have deficits?Have you ever wondered, if all politi-

cians are against inflation and high taxes, why do wehave inflation and high taxes?

You and I don’t propose the federal budget. Thepresident does.

You and I don’t have the Constitutional authority tovote on appropriations. The House of Representativesdoes.

You and I don’t write the tax code, Congress does.You and I don’t set fiscal policy, Congress does.You and I don’t control monetary policy, the Federal

Reserve Bank does.One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one presi-

dent and nine Supreme Court justicesequates to 545 human beings out of thenation’s 300 million. Yet it’s these 545who are directly, legally morally andindividually responsible for everydomestic problem that plagues thiscountry.

I excluded all the special interestsand lobbyists for a sound reason. Theyhave no legal authority. They have noability to coerce a senator, a congress-man or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don’t care if they offer apolitician $1 million in cash. Thepolitician has the power to accept it orreject it. No matter what the lobbyistpromises, it is the legislator’s responsi-

bility to determine how he votes.Those 545 human beings spend much of their

energy convincing you that what they did is not theirfault. They cooperate in this common con regardlessof party. What separates a politician from a normalhuman being is an excessive amount of gall. No nor-mal human being would have the gall of the House

LAND MINDS

By Dick Hagen

See MINDS, pg. 3

Let’s do some trimming. $4gas will trim lots of unnec-essary travel. Getting usedto a tighter belt is uncom-fortable but only for ashort time. Most of us sen-iors could coast along witha bit less of just abouteverything, except friend-ship and love.

While unresolved budget battleshave dominated the 2011 legislativesession, Gov. Mark Dayton and Min-nesota legislators recently agreedon a biennial funding package forthe Minnesota Department of Agri-culture, the Board of AnimalHealth, the Agricultural UtilizationResearch Institute and other agri-culture-related activities.

Historically, agriculturebudget discussions tend to beless divisive and partisan thandiscussions over other budget areas. Iwant to thank House agriculture com-mittee chair Rod Hamilton, Senateagriculture committee chair DougMagnus and the other members oftheir committees for upholding that

tradition of cooperation.I have known Rep.

Hamilton and Sen. Mag-nus for years, and I appre-ciate the way they workedwith us to come up with abudget bill that we allcould live with.

I also want to thankGov. Dayton for sign-ing the budget bill

even as he continuesto engage in difficult negotiations overother budget issues. As the governornoted after signing the bill, perhapsthis legislation can serve as a modelfor how leaders can work together andcompromise to find a solution that

works for us all.As expected, the budget bill features

significant spending reductions for theMDA and other areas of the ag budget.However, even in our time of financialconstraint, this legislation offersimportant benefits for Minnesota.

• New retail food inspectors will behired and trained, increasing the fre-quency of inspections and helpingensure a safe food supply in Minnesota;

• The state’s anhydrous ammoniainspection and compliance activitieswill increase. This will make the stor-age and use of this fertilizer safer, thusprotecting farmers, fertilizer applica-tors and the rural communities wherestorage tanks are located;

• Agriculture literacy will beimproved through the developmentand dissemination of new curriculathat incorporate agriculture into coresubject areas for grades K-12; and

• New research and development

will enhance the state’s biofuelsindustry, stepping up Minnesota’sparticipation in the alternativeenergy economy. Gas prices rising tonear $4 per gallon this month under-score the importance of breaking ouraddiction to foreign fossil fuels.

This agreement is good news forMinnesota’s farmers and ranchers,and for our state as a whole. Theagreement is also an encouragingreminder that despite vigorous dis-agreements elsewhere in public life,leaders from across the political spec-trum understand the vital role agri-culture plays in supporting Min-nesota’s economy and quality of life.

That makes sense.After all, regardless of our political

convictions, we all need to eat.•••

This commentary was submitted byMinnesota Department of AgricultureCommissioner Dave Frederickson.

OPINION

MINDS, from pg. 2Speaker, Pelosi, who stood up and criti-cized the president for creating deficits.The president can only propose a budget.He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

It seems inconceivable to me that anation of 300 million cannot replace 545people who stand convicted — by presentfacts — of incompetence and irresponsi-bility. I can’t think of a single domesticproblem that is not traceable directly tothose 545 people. When you fully graspthe plain truth that 545 people exercisethe power of the federal government, thenit must follow that what exists is whatthey want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it’s becausethey want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it’s becausethey want it in the red.

If the Army and Marines are in Iraqand Afghanistan it’s because they wantthem in Iraq and Afghanistan.

If they do not receive social securitybut are on an elite retirement plan notavailable to the people, it’s because theywant it that way.

Do not let these 545 people shift theblame to bureaucrats, whom they hireand whose jobs they can abolish; to lob-byists, whose gifts and advice they canreject; to regulators, to whom they givethe power to regulate and from whomthey can take their power. Above all, donot let them con you into the belief thatthere exists disembodied mystical forceslike “the economy”, “inflation” or “poli-tics” that prevent them from doing whatthey take an oath to do.

These 545 people and they alone, areresponsible.

Reese then listed 78 taxes includingthese poetic phrases : Tax his coffin, tax hisgrave, tax the sod in which he’s laid. Putthese words upon his tomb,Taxes drove meto my doom.When he’s gone, do not relax,It’s time to apply the inheritance tax.

He concluded, Still think this isfunny? Not one of these taxes existed100 years ago and our nation was themost prosperous in the world. We hadno national debt, we had the largestmiddle class in the world, and momstayed home to raise kids!Solid advice

And now a bit of Old Farmer’s advice:Keep skunks and bankers at a dis-tance. Life is simpler when you plowaround the stump. A bumble bee is con-siderably faster than a John Deeretractor. Forgive your enemies; it messesup their heads. Do not corner some-thing that you know is meaner thanyou. If you find yourself in a hole, thefirst thing to do is stop digging. Livesimply, love generously, care deeply,speak kindly and leave the rest to God.Growing bubble

Finally this closing thought on theWashington bubble that keeps gettingbigger and bigger: Total lobbyingspending in 2000 was $1.6 billion. In2010, it was $3.5 billion. And thebiggest spender: Finance, insuranceand real estate with $473 million spenton lobbying in 2010.

Just a coincidence that billions of“stimulus funds” to revive our economymostly went to this very same sector?Not likely.

Sometimes coincidencesare just too coincidental.

For example, in a Jan. 27conference call with WallStreet analysts, WilliamDoyle, the president andCEO of Potash Corp. ofSaskatchewan, the world’sleading supplier of potash,was asked where “the pointof price elasticity is forpotash in internationalmarkets ... the $550 (perton) ... that you’re going tobe seeing effective March1 ... or that $800 levelthat they pushed price to,or tried, in 2008?”

Skipping the reference to “they” —whomever “they” are — Doyle couldn’toffer “an exact number” where potashprices might nick demand. He suggested,

however, the analysts look tofarm prices for insight.

“(J)ust look at the percent-age of fertilizer cost as part ofthe return,” he urged. “Imean, it’s miniscule. Sothere’s a hell of a lot moreroom with $14 soybeans and$6.50 corn and $8 wheat ...and cotton at $1.50 plus. Imean, you start looking at theincentive here (and) we’re along way from any type of

demand destruction.”Just as Doyle hinted in

January, potash prices,according to April 20 University of Illi-nois data, have “increased from $488 to$565 per ton at the beginning of theyear, an increase of $77 per ton.”

Confirming the trend, DTN reported

on April 26 that per-ton potash pricesnow stand at $599, nearly $100 higherthan in April 2010.

Coincidence?If so, it’s a very coincidental coinci-

dence, says C. Robert Taylor, the AlfaEminent Scholar of Ag Policy atAuburn University. According toresearch by Taylor, Doyle made a simi-lar observation in 2008 when potashprices soared from less than $400 perton to a record $850 per ton for theyear.

“A $100 per ton increase is worth only$0.03 to a corn farmer in the Midwest ofthe United States,” Doyle observed backthen. “So you start doing the leverage onthat, while it’s huge for us ... it’s not a bigdeal to the corn farmer ...

“But if you’re adding $500,” Doyleobserved, “you’re only adding $0.15 tothe cost of production of a bushel ofcorn. So you can see, we’ve got a lot ofpricing room going forward and wedon’t see a peak in our business.”

That any businessperson — be theypeddling potash, potatoes or baloney —can predict, then pull off, such priceincreases suggests to Taylor that theglobal fertilizer market is rife with“tacit and explicit agreements on pricesand market shares between producers.”

Rife may be an understatementbecause the global fertilizer industry isdominated by just three forces,explains Taylor, “and the first is thecombined power of two governmentcartels, Canpotex and PhosChem.”

Next, he adds, is OCP, “a privatemonopoly sanctioned by Morocco;” and,third, is “a cabal of three potash compa-nies in the former Soviet Union.”

(To read more about global fertilizerfirms go to www.farmandfoodfile.com.)

The first among equals, however, areCanpotex and PhosChem. Canpotex,Taylor says, is “a potash cartel sanc-tioned by the Canadian government”with only three members — PotashCorp., Mosaic, controlled (and about tobe divested) by Cargill, and Agrium.

Likewise, PhosChem is a phosphoruscartel — with “coincidentally,” remarksTaylor, “only two members, Mosaic andPotash Corp.” — that operates openlyunder something called the Webb-Pomerene Act, a 1918 U.S. lawdesigned to promote cooperationbetween “small American” firms.

Potash Corp., of course, is neithersmall nor American and Mosaic-Cargillis $100 billion-big. So what gives?

To Taylor, the answer is obvious: “Thered flags of market manipulation areflying everywhere and the flags of gov-ernment are seen nowhere.”

This unquestioned “supra-competi-tion” has cost U.S. farmers “on theorder of $1 billion to $4 billion and inthe tens of billions annually world-wide,” Taylor estimates.

All is old news. This space outlinedthese government-blessed, never-inves-tigated cartels last August. Back thenpotash was $475 per ton; today it’s$600 and headed higher.

Perfectly grilled sirloins weren’t theonly topic of discussion at the recentsteak fry hosted by the West Central(Minn.) Cattlemen’s Association inMorris (see story at left).

High on the priority list for cattlemenright now is the opening up of bothstate and federal grasslands for grazingrights. “We’re making good progresswith both,” said Morris-area cattlefeeder David Wulf. “They realize theircosts of maintaining these lands keepsgoing up. They’ve had a couple yearsnow on a ‘trial basis’ so to speak, and atthis point it sounds very promising.”

Grazing privileges work like this:The state or federal folks provide the

fencing materials and stake out theboundaries. The cattleman or group ofcattlemen do the fencing. The cost is apre-agreed-to fee of so much per cowper month.

Benefits to the state and federalagencies are a significant reduction inyearly expenses, much better controlof noxious weeds, cleaning up ofundergrowth so much better nestingconditions for birds, plus eliminatingthe costly controlled burns whichdestroys nesting cover.

“With more concerns about feedingthe world, this simply is using stateand federal lands to help producefood,” Wulf said. “Plus grazing cattle


There are steak fries, and then thereis the annual outing put on bythe West Central (Minn.) Cat-tlemen’s Association.

This ambitious group thriveson promoting the “King of Pro-tein” — a sizzling, tasty, USDASelect sirloin steak. Theevening of April 9, 1,600 folksgathered at the Ranch HouseRestaurant in Morris for thistaste of royalty. And the cost?The outrageous price of $5 per plate.

“Our goal is not to make a profit butto show that beef is a super nutritionalvalue,” said Dave Wulf, Morris-areacattle feeder and a director of theWCCA. If theymake a few dollars,fine. The group rou-tinely donates toarea 4-H and FFAchapters. If theybreak even, that’sOK too. Even ifthey lose a few dol-lars, this cattlemen’sassociation knows thereal value is educatingthe public about thenutritional punch ofbeef.

“We want them to know that beef isnutrient-rich and relatively inexpen-sive compared to the nutrient values ofmost foods,” Wulf said. Folks at thisbig-time steak fry really do get edu-cated thanks to a sizzling display ofeye-popping information set up by Con-rad Kvamme of the Minnesota BeefCouncil.

“Besides the recipes and other hand-outs, Conrad roams the audience withhis wireless mic quizzing the crowdand getting them all riled up aboutbeef. It’s fun. It’s entertaining. And it’sa delicious meal.”$5 protein punch

This year Kvamme’s line to the steakeaters was that nowhere in the worldcould folks sit down to a meal with thismuch nutrition, this much protein, andthis much power for $5.

“Kvamme made them realize they

are very honored people to enjoy a siz-zling sirloin grown by the area farmersand grilled by these same cattle pro-ducers,” Wulf said.

Wulf knows enough of west centralMinnesota that he recognized peoplecoming from 40 to 50 miles away forthis picnic. “I’m amazed people willdrive that far for a $5 steak but they

know a bargain. And yep, peo-ple can go through the servingline twice, however that secondsteak will cost another $5.These 8-ounce steaks are sogood that a few hungry, heartysouls do make a second pass.”

It takes three big grills tohandle the 1,600 steaks. Thecattlemen do the grilling. TheRanch House prepared the

mashed potatoes and gravy plus thelettuce salad with two dressing choices.The feast also included dinner biscuits,coffee, milk and water. “We get thesteaks in a little early, put some ‘aging’

on them to makethem even moretender,” Wulf said.“Then we tumblethem with season-ing to add a littlemore juiciness andflavor.”

This steak fry isall done with vol-unteer help, about40 according toWulf. The cattle-men recruit localFFA chapters to

provide 15 to 20 members to help out,many of them wearing “Beef is what’sfor dinner” t-shirts.

The Ranch House Restaurant canhandle about 420 people per sitting. Sohow do they squeeze 1,600 “throughthe chutes” so to speak? By starting thefirst feeding at 3:30 p.m. and continu-ing on until 7:30.

The WCCA is the largest of thestate’s cattlemen’s groups with a cur-rent membership of about 100, bothcow-calf operations and feeders.According to the Minnesota Depart-ment of Agriculture, there are approxi-mately 80,000 head of cattle (includingdairy) in Stevens, Grant, Big Stone,Traverse and Swift counties. Cattle onfeed in the feedlot in August 2010 wasapproximately 11,000 head or approxi-mately 20,000 head fed annually inthose five Minnesota counties.

GRAZING, from pg. 5are good for building soil fertility andwildlife actually thrive in the presenceof cattle.”

Like any production group, the cat-tlemen have other issues. Big in thenews these days is the growing concernabout the Environmental ProtectionAgency over-extending itself into pro-duction agriculture. Perhaps the mostannoying, andlaughable at thisstage, is the matterof dust control.

“So this dustissue, feedlot runoffand animal welfareissues are alwayson the front burner.We’re constantly work-ing with fellow cattle-men so we don’t havethese issues. Minimiz-ing these issues is anongoing effort withinour various cattlemen’sgroups but unfortu-nately one bad apple can spoil the bas-ket. We’re all in this business together.We know the general public has highregard for farmers and what we do butthe naysayers too often get the head-lines,” Wulf said.Lowest beef numbers in 60 years

Wulf acknowledged that cattle num-bers are down, heading to the lowestnumbers since 1951 based on informa-tion shared at a recent meeting heattended.

“That’s a bit misleading because ourcarcass weights are at all-time highs sototal beef tonnage isn’t as low as it was60 years ago. To rebuild we need to beholding back replacements out in thecow-calf country but that doesn’t

appear to be happening. Because ofhigh cattle prices ranchers keep liqui-dating, especially if bankers are press-ing them to rebuild their equity.”

There are about 3,200 head in thefeedlots of the Wulf Brothers operation.They also run a “grower yard” atMcLaughlin, S.D., which has about a10,000-head capacity. “We do some fin-ishing out there depending upon crop

harvesting, butmostly it serves asa convenientgrower yard for thewrap-up finishingwe do here athome.”

He’s very awareof energy issuespertaining to agri-culture, includingmethane digestersharvesting feedlotmanure for electri-cal generation.Wulf questions theeconomics of these

systems with beef feedlots. He saidthere aren’t many beef cattle raisedstrictly in slatted-floor facilities and forbest results the product going into thedigester needs to be uniform from dayto day. “It would mean a totally newdesign for handling manure. Most pitsare engineered for extended storageand being pumped only once or twice ayear.”

Is he encouraged about the future ofthe beef industry? With beef pricesstrong and exports getting stronger,optimism has to prevail. “Keeping thelid on feed costs is the challenge. Assoon as somebody shows us how togrow 300-bushel corn we’ll probably beOK on feed costs too,” Wulf said.

Animal agriculturecontinues in the cross-hairs of a variety ofanimal rights groupsacross the nation.Because of thesegroups’ tactics, morestate legislatures aredrafting legislation to protect the busi-ness rights of livestock farmers.

Minnesota has a proposed livestocktampering bill (HF1369 and SF1118)that would:

• Impose additional penalties fortampering (e.g. disrupt, damage,destroy, steal, introduce disease) withlivestock facilities.

• Criminalize “interference” whichwould include producing unauthorizedaudio or video recordings and trespassing.

• Criminalize “fraud” which wouldinclude obtaining access to facilities orgaining employment under false pretenses.

The opponents have focused theircriticisms on making it illegal to obtainundercover footage. They believe thispractice should be legal and protectedunder “whistle-blower” statutes.

Animal rights groups are swinginghard in their relentless attempts to dis-rupt U.S. agriculture, particularly withtheir smears of factory farms by pro-claiming there is money to be made byabusing these animals. They continueto generate nationwide press coverageon some of these alleged abuses,regardless the circumstances. Checkthe website of the Human Society ofthe United States. The listing of mediacoverage rambles week after week.

The HSUS political pressure can behuge. In 2002, Florida voters passedAmendment 10 to phase out the caging ofsows in gestation crates.In 2010,the HSUSrequested the Minnesota State Legislatureto ban tail-docking in dairy cattle. BobLefebvre, executive director of the Min-nesota Milk Producers Association, said,the “HSUS doesn’t stop at one item. Theyuse anything as a wedge issue to get in andthen they try to stop livestock agriculture.”

The HSUS has had success in ballot ini-tiative in states like California, Arizonaand Florida. “We’re not an initiative statebut their practices have changed lately,”Lefebvre said. “I think they feel empow-ered; they apparently can raise money onvirtually any issue relating to making animpact on animal agriculture.”

Perhaps to help stem future harass-ment of Minnesota livestock producerslegislation was introduced in the Min-

nesota LegislatureApril 5 that wouldmake it illegal to pro-duce or distributeinformation about ani-mal mistreatment oragricultural pollution.

“This legislation isaimed at people who areharassing and sabotag-

ing these operations,” said Sen. DougMagnus, R-Slayton and chairman of theSenate agricultural committee. “Thesepeople who go undercover aren’t beingtruthful about what they are doing.”

Most livestock farms today have Codeof Conduct regulations in place. In simpleterms, an employee on a livestock farm issubject to immediate dismissal if he/sheis guilty of animal abuse. If an employeenotices animal abuse by other employeesand doesn’t report this action, job dis-missal again is the penalty. In essence,livestock producers are OK about “whis-tle blowers” within their own ranks butthe illegal, trespassing nature of outsideundercover “agents” of the HSUS andother such groups is unacceptable.

Howard Goldman, Minnesota direc-tor of the HSUS, called the bill, “anattempt to criminalize whistle-blowingat a time when we need more trans-parency about animal welfare. It goesafter people with a really broad brush.”

Rep. Rod Hamilton, R-MountainLake and House sponsor of the legisla-tion said such concerns are “absolutelywrong”. He contends that people whodocument animal abuse would be“guilty of abuse” if they don’t report itimmediately to an operation’s owner,management or law enforcement.

The Minnesota Foundation forResponsible Animal Care is not anadvocacy-based organization so it doesnot take positions on legislation orengage in lobbying activities. HoweverJoe Martin, its executive director,listed these bullet points.

• The proposed legislation raisesimportant questions and deserves tobe discussed.

• In order to protect the integrity ofthe food supply, it’s critical that penal-ties are harsh enough to deter individ-uals who fraudulently gain access tolivestock farms to do harm.

• From our viewpoint, the opponentsof the legislation have focused theircriticism on making it illegal to obtainundercover footage. They believe thispractice should be legal and be pro-tected under “whistle blower” statutes.

• The proponents of the legislation

have focused their arguments thatpenalties should be increased for indi-viduals who fraudulently representthemselves to gain entrance onto afarm or facility and stage negative por-trayals of agriculture.

• From the MNFRAC’s perspective,true “whistleblowers” would notify theappropriate authorities and/or takeimmediate steps to end witnessedabuse, rather than to hold the footageand orchestrate elaborate media andfundraising campaigns.

A springboard for the Minnesota leg-islation was the Minnesota Agri-Growth Council which became awareof Iowa’s similar legislation. Min-nesota Farm Bureau Federation Public

Policy Director Chris Radatz pointedout that as the proposed legislationwinds its way through various com-mittees amendments get attachedand the process simply slows.

Inevitable is the barrage of e-mailbeing directed to both Hamilton andMagnus with virtually all of it on behalfof animal rights. “They’re well organ-ized.They create an audience real quickand the internet obviously has becometheir communications network.

“If you want to see what’s going onin a facility, tell the owner straight upbut don’t engage in outright lies,”Magnus said. As of mid-April, hear-ings had not yet been scheduled in theMinnesota House or Senate.

The Civil Warimpacted Minnesotaagriculture two ways.

First, many Min-nesota farmers lefttheir farms and familiesbehind to fight with theUnion forces. Second, the popula-tion increased from 172,000 residentsin 1860 to 248,000 five years later.Farmers and veterans lured by thepromise of productive farm landaccounted for some of the swelling pop-ulation.

New York farmer Willard Thayer, hiswife of five years and their childrenLucius and Sarah traveled by ox team,boat and train from Ohio to settle inLe Sueur County, Minn., near Cleve-land in 1856. Thayer farmed 80 acresuntil 1889 when he moved into Cleve-land.

The son of a War of 1812 veteran,Thayer interrupted his farming to jointhe 2nd Minnesota Volunteer Infantrywhen the call went out for morerecruits in 1864. He served in theUnion army and participated in Sher-man’s march to the sea. Thayer wasamong the victorious soldiers who par-ticipated in the grand review in Wash-ington, D.C.

After a fulfilling life as a Minnesotafarmer, Thayer, recognized as astaunch Democrat, died a few weeksshort of his 100th birthday while living

with Lucius in Lady-smith, Wis.

Charles H. Hop-kins, the grand-son of a Revolu-tionary War

soldier, was amongthose arriving in

Minnesota after the war.Born in New York in 1844, he

moved to Wisconsin with his family in1861. Hopkins enlisted with the 13thWisconsin Volunteer Infantry in 1863.

He fought valiantly and refused afurlough when he contracted blackmeasles. After the war ended, Hopkinsreturned to Wisconsin where heworked in a dairy and as a clerk.

Hopkins moved to Minnesota in 1869and homesteaded 160 acres in RenvilleCounty near Fairfax. Three years laterhe married Susan Cushman, thegranddaughter of a War of 1812 vet-eran. They raised three children ontheir farm.

Hopkins was a political leader, firstas a Republican and later as a Pop-ulist. He also served on the schoolboard and as a justice of the peace for21 years.

Although he didn’t see action in Min-nesota during the Sioux War, Hopkinsplayed a prominent role in erecting theFort Ridgley Monument in 1896. Hop-kins’ daughter never married, and histwo sons moved farther west.

Like Hopkins, Christian Stolt, moved

to Minnesota after the war. He was 14years old when his family emigratedfrom Germany in 1856 to settle inCook County Illinois. He joined the2nd Illinois Cavalry in 1861 and sawaction in many major battles, includ-ing Shiloh, Vicksburg and Nashville.Stolt took a minie ball through hisright lung and later had it cut outthrough his back.

In 1867 Stolt claimed 160 acres inSection 8 in Nicollet Township, south-west of the town of Nicollet, Minn.,dubbed one of the best farms in thearea. He later acquired 60 acres oflumber land as well as 240 acres ofgood farmland south of Madelia in

Watonwan County, Minn.Stolt and his first wife, Johanna,

had two daughters; he and his secondwife, Augusta, raised eight children.An 1897 account of Stolt illustrateshis success as a farmer by describingtheir building site and the two-storybrick home built in 1881. The housewith a “pretty yard in front, the grove,orchard, barn and other farm build-ings, modern windmill etc., are wellkept and give evidence of the prosper-ity which has attended the well-directed efforts of the owner.”

Stolt was active in local politics,served as justice of the peace, schoolclerk, township supervisor and countycommissioner. He died in 1917, but anumber of Stolts still live in the Nicol-let area.

These men represent thousandswho sacrificed their lives for thepreservation of their nation, thenturned their attention to establishingsuccessful farms and becoming lead-ers in their growing communities.

During a recent ice-breaker game at awomen’s retreat, we wereeach asked to share some-thing we were passionateabout outside of our faithand family. Sharon saidthat she was passionateabout reality TV.

“You understand realityTV isn’t really reality,right?” she was asked. Shesaid that she got that, butthere was just somethingabout seeing how people respond todifficult circumstances that fasci-nated her.

Everyone has a story, whether it’spart of a supposed reality televisionseries or the story that each one of uswrites within the place that we callhome. Whether we’re conscious of itor not, our choices, circumstances andcharacter tell a story. Our lives arebooks that are being read by co-work-

ers, neighbors, family andfriends.

What story are you tellingwith your life? Is it messyor meaningful? Is it draineddry with disappointment oroverflowing with hope?

Maybe you wish someparts weren’t true or wouldlike to rip out pages ormaybe chapters of your lifeand do a rewrite. Some-times our stories aren’t ofour doing. Sometimes they

are. The consequences of bad choicesstalk us. Regrets stain and tear pages.At times we may wonder if our storywill ever be beautiful or worth noting.

At other times our stories are so fullof celebration and joy, we knock onwood as if that will stop our storyfrom ever containing a tsunami-likechapter. At other times our story maybe misunderstood. We may think we’reliving out one storyline, but our read-

ers are seeing something completelydifferent within the novel of our lives.

Within seven days I had the privi-lege of gathering together with womenboth near and far at a conference,ladies’ tea and a mother-daughterbanquet. At each event I heard storiesthat brought laughter, stories thatinspired and stories of heartache.

There is a proverb that reads, “Asiron sharpens iron, so one personsharpens another.” That is especiallytrue in edifying like-gender relation-ships when one generation teachesand models to the next generationwhat it means to be a person of love,integrity and purity.

It’s a grand thingto hear about mengathering togetherwithin families orvolunteer positionswithin boys clubsin their man caves,on fishing tripsand sportingevents to build eachother up. It’s a pre-cious thing whenwomen of each genera-tion gather aroundcups of tea, punch,espresso and anythingchocolate to encourageone another withwords of support andhope.

As iron sharpens iron, so one personsharpens another. I experienced thatsharpening through Wendy, a wife andmother whose bone cancer is in remis-sion. Because of her treatments she’ssix inches shorter than she used to be,but stands tall in faith and fervency.

She boldly tells others that there isno time to waste; that we must reachout to the children in our community,making a difference, planting seeds ofhope in youthful hearts that knowtremendous despair.

“I sense an urgency in you, Wendy,” Isaid. She responded, “Until I have noenergy and no breath left in this body,I will give my all to God.” Her words,her example and her understandingthat each day is a gift encouraged allwho heard her story.

As iron sharpens iron, so one personsharpens another. I experienced thatsharpening through Geraldine, whoseson is in the final season of HunterSyndrome, a metabolic disorder thataffects every part of his body and willeventually take his young life. Whileother moms would be prone to curl in

a corner in the fetal position, Geral-dine continues to smile through tears,give her talents and dispense wordsthat encourage others in their strug-gles.

As I thanked her for the beautifulhandmade gift that she crafted duringher son’s most recent hospital visit, Itold her she shouldn’t have. Sheresponded, “I need to, right? Helpingothers is an outlet to my grief. Helpingothers helps me.” Her smile and spiritencouraged all who heard her story.

As iron sharpens iron, so one personsharpens another. I experienced thatsharpening through Linda whoseenthusiasm for mentoring girls is con-

tagious. As shestood on the stageand shared herstory she nearlybounced off theplatform in herexcitement. Womenwere laughing andleaning forwardwanting to drawcloser to a womanwho was changingthe lives of chil-dren by gettinginvolved in theirstories.

The lady stand-ing next to herrubbed shoulder toshoulder with this

advocate for children as if somehowthat passion for little people wouldrub into her own soul and priorities.Linda’s insatiable desire to make theworld a better place by loving andmentoring the children that follow inher footsteps motivated all who heardher story.

What story are you telling with yourlife? As iron sharpens iron, seek towrite a story that’s worth telling,repeating and imitating.

Donald Miller wrote, “Once you livea good story, you get a taste for a kindof meaning in life, and you can’t goback to being normal; you can’t goback to meaningless scenes stitchedtogether by the forgettable thread ofwasted time.”

Think on it. What story do you wantto write? If you’re not already writinga meaningful story, now’s the time topick up your pen and begin.

THE BACK PORCH

By Lenae Bulthuis

Once you live a goodstory, you get a tastefor a kind of meaningin life, and you can’t goback to being normal;you can’t go back tomeaningless scenesstitched together by theforgettable thread ofwasted time.

— Donald Miller

When you were 15 or 18 or 20 years old,you wanted to make a difference.

You and your generation would set theworld on fire. You were going to fix whatyour parents had broken: you’d stop thewar, gain equality, save the planet, endpoverty, live gently. You were aflame withthe passion that comes with a youthfulinnocence you wish you still had.

Now, you don’t have that kind of energy.But somewhere beneath your surface,

that passion still simmers. It never leftyou, and what you do with it — as you’llsee in the new memoir “Arms Wide Open” by PatriciaHarman — may look comfortingly familiar.

No electricity, no central heat and miles from townwith no vehicle. It sounds like a reality show plot,but that’s the way Harman lived 40 years ago. Har-man and her then-partner Stacy had purchasedeight acres in northern Minnesota and repurposed acrumbling cabin, hoping friends and former com-mune members might join them and their baby sonin living off the land.

For Stacy, sustainable farming was a dream, butHarman was restless. She’d tried several times to setup birthing classes for other “hippie chicks”, butwhen winter set in, travel was almost impossible andit was difficult, at best, to reach the main communehouse. Isolated and unhappy, Harman packed a fewmeager possessions and said goodbye to the man sheloved and their child. She left under power of thumb.

Six years later, after having traveled through sev-eral states, Harman settled down on a communalfarm in Ohio. She met her husband, Tom, at thatcommune and when they moved to a small farm inWest Virginia, Harman started teaching childbirthclasses almost immediately. A mother again, shequickly became known as a good midwife but times,they were a-changing.

Fast forward 30 years.

The Harmans both went backto college: he, for an MD and she,for an RN. The parents of threegrown sons, they had opened aclinic for women in the northernAppalachians, specializing in maternity and pelvicpain. The days of commune living over, the Harmanshad two homes, both with modern conveniences.

But with modern times come modern problems,both professional and personal. Was it possible toreach back to the past to heal the future?

Did you ever read a book that lulled you into sucha wonderful state of mind that you werealmost heartbroken when it ended? Yep,that’s exactly what it’s like to read “ArmsWide Open.”Through decades-old personal journals, Har-

man gives readers an inside peek at hippie cul-ture and the ’70s through the eyes of a freshand idealistic young woman who wanted tochange the world, and the woman she became. Iloved this wistful, wonderful story of the birth ofa birth-helper, and I think you will, too.If you’re looking for a gracious, grateful

memoir or if you get nostalgic over the not-so-distant past, read this book. “Arms WideOpen” will surely warm your heart.

Grain Angles Wheat stocks

being impactedAs we wait for spring to arrive, Mother Nature

tests our patience once again. When comparing ourplanting conditions today with last year, we see a pic-ture of contrast. While much of the corn crop wasplanted by this time last year, we struggle to see fieldwork begin.

Grain markets have taken noteof the late planting and the battlefor corn and soybean acres. Thedry weather in the Plains hashad a dramatic impact on thewinter wheat crop. This is remi-niscent of the drought that theBlack Sea area experienced lastyear.

While we have ample stocks ofwheat in storage, the soft wheatprices will compete with corn inmany of the livestock feedingareas of the southeastern UnitedStates. This could draw down existing inventory aswheat is substituted for corn in livestock feedrations.

These volatile market conditions are reflected inthe prices being traded for grain. If one only looks atthe current prices, they would conclude that thegrain producers are all selling grain at these currentlevels. Yet, this is not the case for the vast majority ofgrain producers.

Much of the grain has been priced at lower pricesthan the market shows today.

With last year’s early planting in almost perfectconditions, the grain markets were expecting a “binbuster” crop and the prevailing sentiment was thatprices would be much lower at harvest. Much of last

Grain OutlookPlanting still

falling behindEditor’s Note: Tim Emslie, Country Hedging market

analyst, is sitting in this week for Phyllis Nystrom,the regular “Grain Outlook” columnist.

■

This market analysis was written for the marketingweek ending April 29.

CORN — This is the time ofyear when planting weather isalways top of mind, but volatilitythis week in the form of two 30-plus-cent moves didn’t seem tohave much relationship to anychanges in the weather fore-casts.

A broader sell-off in commoditymarkets spilled over into thefund liquidation seen during theinitial limit down move on Thurs-day. Open interest declined as theprice was going down, indicatingliquidation of existing long positions. Nearby cornfutures hit the lowest price since March, whichallowed some end-users to see value in the market.

The week ended with a mirror image of the limitdown move the previous day. For the week, nearbyfutures were up 16 3/4 cents. The December contractwas a bit quieter, finishing up just 4 cents for theweek.

Planting progress continues to fall behind the aver-age pace. The five-year average as of May 8 is 59 per-cent. We are hearing of progress in parts of the west-ern Corn Belt, but we don’t expect to see muchhappen during the week of May 1-7 in Easternstates, specifically Indiana. Missouri did get a sub-stantial portion of the crop planted prior to the heavy

Livestock AnglesDomestic slips,exports surge

The livestock markets continued their recent rallyinto the Easter holiday.

Exports have been the catalyst behind the contin-ued rally as domestic demand seems to be faltering.The main reason behind the shift from domestic con-sumption to the export marketseems to be the weakening U.S.dollar. This is making domesticprices rise curbing the demand,while the cost to import U.S.meat products becomes cheaper.

The cattle market has slippedoff its high in recent weeks asnumbers of market-ready cattlehave been on the increase.Slaughter is ahead of a year ago,causing beef production to beclearly ahead of last year. Thecold storage reports have contin-ued to indicate beef is still mov-ing into storage for the past several months.

Beef cutouts look as if they have found the areawhere they have met resistance from the retail buy-ers. Above the $190 per hundredweight area basischoice has proven to be the soft spot and prices havedropped rapidly from this level as packers realize tomove the product they are going to have to discount.

On April 21, the U.S. Department of Agriculturereleased a Monthly Cattle on Feed Report. Theresults were: On feed as of April 1, 105 percent of theprevious year; placed during March, 103 percent; andmarketed during March, 104 percent. The report isseen as neutral as it fell close to pre-report estimates.The fact that there is 5 percent more cattle on feedcoupled with a larger supply of beef in cold storage

EMSLIE, from pg. 12rains, and may need to do somereplanting. The wet conditions areraising the possibility of fewer cornacres, but we haven’t reached the mostcritical planting dates yet.

Both Purdue University and IowaState University came out this weekurging growers to refrain from switch-ing hybrids until sometime well intothe second half of May. We are hearingthat seed companies are telling farmersthe same thing because corn plants willdo some amount of adjusting the grow-

ing stages to account for the later plant-ing. There is a yield drag associatedwith later planting, but it is only one ofmany factors that influence yield.

Ethanol production reboundedstrongly this week to 883,000 barrelsper day, up 3.2 percent from the previ-ous week. It appears that the drop theprevious week was the anomaly basedpossibly on plant maintenance ratherthan margin considerations. Ethanol’sdiscount to Reformulated Blendstock forOxygenate Blending gasoline reachedthe highest level since June 2008 this

week, closing at 82 cents.Blending incentive ishigh, and we’ve heardthat Arizona blenders intend to incorpo-rate ethanol into their summer blendsfor the first time this summer.

Weekly export sales were quite poorat 13.7 million bushels for the 2010-11marketing year. One possible reason isthe disruption in supply being causedby high water levels on the nation’sriver systems, preventing exportersfrom being able to ensure supply. Wehave seen processor basis levels showsome firmness despite the lack of com-pletion from the river/export bids.

OUTLOOK: The price incentives arein place for farmers to plant theintended 92.2 million acres shown inMarch, but the question is whether con-ditions will allow. One key area to watchis North Dakota and South Dakota,because such a large piece of theintended increase in corn acres was inthose states. Resistance for the Decem-ber contract is at the high of $6.84. If itappears that farmers will be able toplant 92 million acres, look for a pull-back to support at $6, with a potentialtest of the high on hold until anothergrowing season threat emerges.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans ralliedjust 12 1/4 cents in the nearby contractlast week, while the new-crop beanslost 8 1/4. The main issue has been theabsence from the market of the largestbuyer — China. Supplies at crushershave been backing up with help from

the releases from thegovernment stockpilesthat are aimed at

reducing food inflation.China barely registered in this

week’s weekly export sales totals. Theweekly total was an anemic 5.3 mil-lion bushels for 2010-11. Chineseimports for March were 3.51 millionmetric tons, down from 4 mmt inMarch 2010.

The March Census crush totalreleased on Thursday came in justabove expectations at 140.3 millionbushels. However, expectations werelow because of the National OilseedProcessors Association industryreport earlier in the month, and 140.3million bushels for March does notsuggest that the crush pace is exceed-ing expectations. We have seen mealbasis improve slightly due to theslowing crush. Farmer selling hasbeen minimal of late.

OUTLOOK: National plantingprogress was to be released for thefirst time in 2011 on May 2.

Chinese oversupply and the threatof acreage being shifted to soybeanshave kept pressure on the soybeanmarket. It remains possible that theChinese supply situation will dimin-ish by early summer. As for the 2011production issues, weather will dic-tate as usual. Look for resistance inthe November contract at the recenthigh of $14.11, with support at$13.22.

TEALE, from pg. 12will make it difficult for prices toadvance considering the suppliesavailable.

With seasonal tendencies for the cat-tle market to top in the late-spring, themarket seems vulnerable to furtherweakness in the weeks ahead. There-fore producers should seek some pro-tection for late-spring and summerinventories.

The hog market has continued to beon a price advance as packers havebeen actively seeking live inventory.The demand for pork product has beenactive, especially in the export arenawith fairly steady domestic demand

which has supported the recentstrength in the market. The cold stor-age reports continue to show plenty ofpork product in storage.

As we approach the summer season,the seasonal tendencies usually pointtoward a top in the hog market. Thisyear should prove to be no differentthan in previous years and a top shouldbe in place by the end of summer. Con-sidering the huge premiums the futuresmarket is reflecting at this point, thereis likely to be a divergence between thecash price and the futures in the weeksahead.This should be an opportunity forproducers to consider a cautiousapproach and take advantage of theselarge premiums and protect inventories.

Go with hog tendencies

NEHER, from pg. 12year’s and some this year’s crops werepriced earlier in the crop year as thecrops looked stellar.

Marketing moves that looked likegood margin management decisions,lead to frustration as prices reacted tothe nutrient and heat challenges inmuch of the Midwest growing areas.

The early selling of crops has driventhe market prices higher as there isless grain for sale as buyers enter thebidding process. When a buyer wantsto buy grain they present a bid that iscountered by an offer from the seller. Ifthere are fewer sellers with grain tosell, the buyers have to bid a higherprice to attract a willing seller. Withless grain to sell, there are fewer sell-ers who are willing to accept the lowerbids of the buyers.

The current market conditions havelead to the runaway land prices thatthreaten the profitability that isassumed by the investor or landownercommunity. This market mentality is

dangerous for those looking to acquireadditional land to produce grain.

Under these conditions, it is easy toconclude that positive profit marginswill prevail. Grain prices may remainhigh, yet the prices of land, seed, fertil-izer and steel can squeeze marginsnevertheless. Given these tendencies,margin management is still the mostpowerful “Grain Angle” in the tool box.

As the cool, wet spring continues totest our patience; I can still remembermy Grandmother. She was a strongwoman who raised her family duringthe Dust Bowl and the Depression. Yet,Grandmother was prone to worry.

When the weather began to get thebest of her, we all felt her anxiety. Itwas during these times that I canremember my Grandpa telling her;“Mommy, I guess we will have to dolike we used to, we will just take whatwe get.”

This never seemed to comfort her, yetthe rest of us knew this was wisdom inpractice.

The Average Crop RevenueElection program was imple-mented by the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture for the2009 crop year, as part of the“Food, Conservation, andEnergy Act of 2008” (the2008 farm bill), and contin-ued for the 2010 crop year.

In 2011, eligible farmerswill again have the option toenroll in the ACRE program,as an alternative to thecurrent Counter-Cycli-cal Payment programthat was initiated in2003 as part of the last farm bill. TheACRE program will offer the potentialof “revenue-based” payments, based onyield and price, as compared to current“price-only” CCP calculations.

The official ACRE program informa-tion is available at county Farm Ser-vice Agency offices and on the USDAFSA website at www.fsa.usda.gov/FSA.2010 ACRE crop payment potential

Following is a summary of thepotential for ACRE payments for 2010

corn, soybeans and wheat inMinnesota as of April 1.

CornThe 2010 ACRE bench-

mark state yield for corn inMinnesota was 166 bushelsper acre, and the NationalAgricultural Statistics Ser-vice benchmark price was$3.81 per bushel, resulting inan estimated statewideACRE revenue guarantee for

2010 of $569.21 per acre.(166 bu./acre x

$3.81/bu. x 0.90 =$569.21/acre)

According to the latest projections,USDA estimated the 2010 statewidecorn yield at 177 bu./acre and the 12-month national average corn marketprice for 2010 is estimated $5.40/bu.

Based on the current USDA num-bers, there would not be a 2010 ACREpayment for corn in Minnesota. Therewas also no ACRE payment in 2009.

SoybeansThe 2010 ACRE benchmark state

yield for soybeans inMinnesota was 42bu./acre and the NASSbenchmark price was$9.78/bu., resulting in anestimated statewideACRE revenue guaran-tee of $369.68/acre. (42bu./acre x $9.78/bu. x0.90 = $369.68/acre)

According to the latestUSDA projections, theestimated 2010 statewidesoybean yield was 45bu./acre and the 12-month national averagesoybean price for 2010 isestimated at $11.50/bu.

Based on the currentUSDA numbers, therewould not be a 2010ACRE payment for soy-beans in Minnesota. Therewas also no soybeanACRE payment in 2009.

WheatThe 2010 ACRE benchmark state

yield for wheat in Minnesota was 49.3bu./acre and the NASS benchmarkprice was $5.83/bu., resulting in anestimated statewide ACRE revenueguarantee of $262.35/acre.

(50 bu./acre x $5.83/bu. x 0.90 =$267.98/acre)

According to the latest USDA projec-tions, the estimated 12-month nationalaverage wheat price for 2010 is at$5.60/bu.

Based on the current USDA num-bers, there would not be a 2010 ACREpayment for wheat in Minnesota. Therewas a 2009 ACRE payment for wheatin Minnesota for most producers, withan average payment of approximately$32/acre on qualifying farm units.2011 ACRE program details

Producers who previously enrolled inthe ACRE for the 2009 or 2010 crop yearwill be enrolled in ACRE for 2011 and2012, provided they annually sign-up forthe farm program at county FSA offices,and meet all other program criteria.Other producers can enroll in ACRE for2011 when they sign-up for the 2011farm program at anytime until June 1.

Producers may sign-up for the 2011Direct and Counter-Cyclical farm pro-gram at any time at their county FSAoffice, and wait until a later date, upuntil June 1, to decide on enrollment inthe ACRE program. Only about 8 percentof crop producers nationwide, and about13 percent of the total eligible acres, wereenrolled in ACRE for the 2009 crop year,

with a few more farms and acres beingadded to the program for 2010.Direct payment and CCC loanrates with ACRE

Direct payments will be reduced by20 percent (approximately $3 to$5/acre), and national and county Com-modity Credit Corp. loan rates will bereduced by 30 percent on farmsenrolled in the ACRE program for 2011.

The national loan rates will drop from$1.95/bu. to $1.37/bu. for corn; from$5/bu. to $3.50/bu. for soybeans; andfrom $2.94/bu. to $2.06/bu. for wheat.Price guarantees with ACRE

The ACRE price guarantee for allcrops is the national average price ofthe previous two years, which is basedon the 12-month marketing period forcorn and soybeans from Sept. 1 in theyear of harvest until Aug. 31 the follow-ing year, and June 1 to May 31 forwheat and other small grain crops.

The 2010 price guarantees werebased on the national average price for2008 and 2009, while the 2011 priceguarantees will be based on thenational average price for 2009 and2010. The final ACRE price guaranteesfor 2009 and 2010 crop years, as well asthe preliminary USDA guarantee priceestimate (as of April 1) for the 2011crop year, are shown in Table 1; how-ever, 2011 prices for corn and soybeanswill not be finalized until Oct. 1.Yield guarantees with ACRE

PROGRAMS, from pg. 14the past five years (2006-10), with the highestand lowest yield being dropped, and the threeremaining yields being averaged.

(Example:Corn yields of161, 146, 164,174 and 177, with the 177 and 146 beingdropped, and a resulting average yield of 166bu./acre, which is the same as 2010.) The aver-age state yields for a given year are based onthe NASS.

The farm-level yield guarantee will be the “Olympicaverage” actual or “proven” farm yield for the past fiveyears (2006-10), with the highest and lowest yield beingdropped, and the three remaining yields being aver-aged. For each year that the program crop was notraised (2006-10), or that the yield cannot be proven, a“Plug Yield” equal to 95 percent of the county averageyield (from NASS) will be used.

(Example: County average corn yield of 170bu./acre x 0.95 = 161.5 bu./acre)Revenue guarantees with ACRE

State revenue guarantee = “Olympic average” stateyield x 2-year average price x 0.90

(Corn example (2010): 166 bu./acre x $3.81/bu. x0.90 = $569.21/acre)

Farm-level guarantee = Average farm yield x 2-year average price + 2010 crop insurance premium

(Corn example (2010): 178 bu./acre x $3.81/bu. +$30/acre = $708.18/acre)Future yield, price, and revenue guaranteeswith ACRE

Both state and farm level guarantees will be recal-culated each year (2011-12), based on changing aver-age yields and prices. ACRE revenue guaranteescannot vary up or down by more than 10 percentfrom one year to the next.Revenue triggers with ACRE

There are two “revenue triggers” that must be metbefore ACRE payments will be made, one based onactual state revenue for a given crop in a particularyear, and the other based on actual farm-level rev-enue for that crop in the same year.

In order for a producer to receive a payment underthe ACRE program, the “actual revenue” for both thestate and farm level must be lower than the corre-sponding established revenue guarantees for a givenyear. The actual revenue is based on the actual 12-month average price (Sept. 1 through Aug. 31 forcorn and soybeans) for a crop in the year of produc-tion, times the actual state average yield, and actualfarm yield, respectively.

If both “revenue triggers” are reached, the ACREpayment will be made for that crop on that FSAfarm number for the given year.Calculating ACRE payments

ACRE program payments will be the higher of dif-ference between the state guarantee and the actualstate revenue, times 83.3 percent (0.833), times theproducer adjustment. The total ACRE payment can-not exceed 25 percent of the state revenue guaranteefor a given crop. The ACRE payment will be paid on

83.3 percent of crop base acres (same as for directpayments). The final ACRE payment to eligible pro-ducers can be adjusted upward, based on farm-levelyields.

(Example: Farm-level yield guarantee of 178bu./acre, state yield guarantee of 166 bu./acre, wouldresult in the ACRE payment being factored upwardby 7 percent (x 1.07).ACRE decision summary for 2011

Remember that farm owners and operators haveuntil June 1 to finalize their decision on enrollmentin the ACRE program for 2011.

ACRE enrollment does require a signature fromlandlords on cash rental farm units. Producers areencouraged to analyze situations and scenarios thatare more favorable for ACRE enrollment for 2011, aswell as situations where the best option may be con-tinuing with the traditional DCP farm program.

Table No. 2 shows the 2011 estimated national

average price needed (Sept. 1 to Aug. 31,2012) to reach the threshold for ACRE pay-ments for the 2011 crop year for corn andsoybeans, at average statewide yield, 10-percent yield decrease and a 10-percentyield increase.

Even though the ACRE program did notpay out in 2009 for corn and soybeans inMinnesota, and will likely not result in anACRE payment in 2010, producers shouldnot automatically “write-off” ACRE programenrollment for the 2011 crop year.

The likely increase in the ACRE priceguarantees for 2011, will lead to higher revenueguarantees for the 2011 ACRE program.

This increases the likelihood of ACRE paymentsfor the 2011 and 2012 crop years for corn and soy-beans, as compared to the 2009 and 2010 crop years.However, current Chicago Board of Trade futuresprices for corn and soybeans suggest that the poten-tial for an ACRE payment in corn and soybeans in2011 may be limited, unless there are reducedstatewide yields for 2011.

This column was written for themarketing week ending April 29.

“What goes up, must come down,” soit’s said, and so true of milk prices.The U.S. Department of Agricultureannounced the April Federal orderClass III benchmark price April 29 at$16.87 per hundredweight, down$2.53 from March but still $3.95 aboveApril 2010. That pulled the 2011 aver-age to $16.67, up from $13.62 at thistime a year ago, and compares to ameager $10.33 in 2009.

Looking ahead, the ChicagoMercantile Exchange’s May ClassIII contract was trading late Fri-day morning at $16.39;June, $17.20; July, $17.55;August, $17.78; September, $17.97; October, $17.73;November, $17.29 and December, $16.91.

The April Class IV price is $19.78, up 37 centsfrom March, $6.05 above a year ago and $2.91 abovethe Class III price.

The four-week, National Agricultural StatisticsService-surveyed cheese price averaged $1.6983 per

pound, down 27.4 cents from March. Butteraveraged $1.9975, down 6.2 cents. Nonfat drymilk averaged $1.5680, up 7.4 cents, and drywhey averaged 48.08 cents, up 2.3 cents.

The cash cheese market saw some strengththe last week of April. The 40-pound blocksclosed the week at $1.6125/lb., up a penny anda quarter, and 24.5 cents above a year ago. The500-pound barrels closed at $1.6025, up 2.25cents on the week and 22.25 cents above a yearago. Nineteen cars of block and 20 of barreltraded hands on the week. The NASS-surveyed

U.S. average block price lost 2.5 cents, slip-ping to $1.6202, while the barrels aver-aged $1.6222, up 0.1 cent.Eyes were particularly on butter as many

expected it to slip with Easter behind us, but it closed Fri-day at $2.0750, up 7.5 cents on the week and 45.5 centsabove a year ago.Twenty cars traded hands on the week.NASS butter averaged $1.9878, up a penny and a half.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed at $1.6450,up 3.5 cents on the week, while Extra Grade held allweek at $1.80. NASS powder averaged $1.5716,down a half-cent, and dry whey averaged 48.07cents, down 0.3 cent.

In some dairy “housekeeping” news, the National Con-ference on Interstate Milk Shipments is consideringsome major changes to the Pasteurized Milk Ordinancewhich sets standards for “Grade A” milk production, pro-cessing and packaging, from the farm to the consumer.

Both the National Milk Producers Federation andthe National Mastitis Council proposed lowering thenational somatic cell count standard incrementally

in 2012 and 2013, reaching 400,000 cells per milli-liter in 2014. The current standard is 750,000 cells,established back in 1993.

The NCIMS has rejected numerous attempts totighten standards over the past two decades, saidDairy Profit Weekly editor Dave Natzke, but last yearthe European Union tightened guidelines for milkand dairy ingredients used in any foods it imports,and failure to meet those standards could have anegative impact on U.S. dairy exports.

■

Meanwhile, another undercover video has surfaceddepicting blatant animal cruelty on a Texas cattleranch. The National Milk Producers Federation’sChris Galen said the video came from the animalrights group “Mercy for Animals,” a group that pro-duced videos last year from dairy farms in New Yorkand Ohio, a veal operation, and now this ranch inwest Texas that raises dairy and beef calves.

“The scenes were disgusting and very deeply dis-turbing,” Galen said, “and another example of thefact that we always have to be vigilant about whathappens on everyone’s operation because this isanother case of a bad apple potentially spoiling thewhole barrel.”

Galen said “it’s a wakeup call for the entire indus-try again that we need to have good training pro-grams in place for everyone on these farms becauseit only takes a few people who don’t understandwhat proper animal care rules are to besmirch andto despoil the image of the entire livestock sector.”

He said that this is a “deeply disturbing practice”illustrated in the video and he reminded listenersthat the National Dairy Farm program, developed bythe NMPF, is “very clear that they don’t allow for thetypes of euthanasia that apparently was practiced onthis farm and don’t allow animals to be struck ordragged or the variety of things certainly not accept-able that were depicted on the video.”

“More importantly than just having the guidelinesin place,” he said, “they need to be followed by every-one working on these operations.”

http://bit.ly/landfestivals

By SARAH JOHNSONThe Land Correspondent

Talented Brainerd Dispatch food writer DianeHoglin has published a cookbook, “Kitchen Keepsakesby Diane’s Delights,” and delightful it certainly is.

An attractive hardcover with 250 homestylerecipes using readily available ingredients, “KitchenKeepsakes” has recipes for real people with realkitchens and real schedules and real families. It fea-tures a larger typeface so it’s easier to read — andlarge type is a godsend when you’re up to yourelbows in some sort of mess and craning your neck tosee what the recipe says.

Hoglin grew up in a family of seven children andsays they never ate out: If Mom was sick of cooking,Dad took over. Her recipes and anecdotes reflect thisentwined love of food and family. Northern Minnesotais just a little warmer with cooks like Hoglin around.Here are some of my favorites from the book, althoughit was hard to choose from among so many gems.

■

A ragout is a beef and vegetable stew that’s usuallyseasoned with wine and herbs and simmered on thestovetop instead of in the oven. Hoglin’s recipe fea-tures not only the obligatory potatoes and carrots butalso their delicious cousins — parsnips, rutabaga,turnips and sweet potato.Larry’s Vegetable and Beef Ragout

4 tablespoons olive oil2 pounds chuck roast beef, cubed2 cloves garlic, minced3 tablespoons flour1 cup chicken broth1 cup dry white wine2 large carrots, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces2 parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch rounds1 rutabaga, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces2 turnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper1/4 teaspoon salt1 bay leafHeat oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy

bottomed-skillet. Brown beef in several batches,removing to a separate dish as they are done. Reduceheat to medium. Add garlic to pan juices and sautéuntil soft. Remove with a slotted spoon. Whisk flourinto remaining pan juices. Stir constantly, scrapingthe bottom of the pan gently, until flour is golden.Gradually whisk in broth and wine until blended.Add browned beef, garlic and vegetables to pan.Sprinkle with seasonings; mix well. Bring to a boil.Reduce heat; cover and simmer gently 1 1/2 hoursuntil beef and vegetables are fork tender.

■

An easy-to-assemble salad that’s an edible work ofart, Craisin Cashew Salad is meant to be sharedwith a group, so clip this recipe for the next time youare hosting a family gathering or potluck.Craisin Cashew Salad

1 bag romaine lettuce1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded1 cup craisins1 cup cashews

1 apple, chopped2 pears, chopped1/4 cup sugar1/8 cup orange juice1 tablespoon onion, finely diced1/2 teaspoon salt1/3 cup oil1 1/2 tablespoon poppy seedsCombine the lettuce, cheese, craisins, cashews,

apple and pears in a large salad bowl. Toss gently.For dressing, combine the sugar, orange juice, onion,salt, oil and poppy seeds; pour over lettuce mixture,toss gently and serve.

■

Color, color and more color! Snappy vegetables,tangy seasonings and a touch of sweetness make thisbean dip recipe anything but boring. Go ahead andspoon it up thick: It’s actually good for you. Teenybop-pers and old folks alike chowed it down at our house:four out of four yums. (My sons do add that they wouldhave added diced jalapeño, but I like it without.)Mary Jo’s Requested Bean Dip

1 can pinto beans, rinsed and drained2 cans black eyed peas, drained1 can whole kernel corn, drained1 small jar pimento1 small purple onion, diced1 medium red or green pepper, diced3/4 cup cider vinegar1 tablespoon water1/4 cup olive oil1 tablespoon salt1/2 teaspoon pepper1 cup sugar or SplendaCombine the first four ingredients. Add the purple

onion and red or green pepper; set aside. Combinethe vinegar, water, olive oil, salt, pepper and sugar orSplenda. Bring to a boil and cool. Pour the mixtureover the ingredients in the bowl; mix and marinadeovernight. Serve with tostada or corn chips.

■

Loaded with robust seasonings and rich cream, I’veincluded Hoglin’s mushroom soup recipe in the hopesthat some readers are finding morels this spring. Anykind of mushroom will do.Well Accepted Mushroom Soup

1 quart beef stock8 tablespoons butter, divided

1 cup onion, chopped1 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced1/2 teaspoon salt3 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced1 tablespoon dill weed1 tablespoon paprika1/8 teaspoon white pepper1/2 cup flour2 cups heavy whipping cream3 tablespoons sour cream1 tablespoon lemon juice1 tablespoon soy sauceFor an easy beef stock, heat 1 quart of water over high

heat in medium saucepan; add 2 tablespoons beef base,2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce and 1/4 teaspoonTabasco sauce. Stir to dissolve base and set aside.

In a large saucepan, sauté onion, garlic and salt in4 tablespoons butter until onion is tender. Stir inmushrooms, dill weed, paprika and white pepper.Add half of the beef stock. Cover and simmer overlow heat for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in another saucepan, melt theremaining 4 tablespoons butter over low heat.Whisk in flour and cook until smooth, stirring con-stantly, about 1 minute. Add cream and continue tocook over low heat, stirring frequently, for 8-10 min-utes. Add this cream and the remaining beef stockto mushroom mixture. Stir in sour cream, lemonjuice and soy sauce. Heat through.

■

Spring is the best (only?) time for asparagus, andAsparagus Egg Bake takes it to sublime heights witha creamy, cheesy white sauce, toothsome hard-boiledeggs and a butter crumb topping. Serve for brunch —but any time of the day or night would be fine by me.Asparagus Egg Bake

18 asparagus spears1/4 cup butter or margarine1/4 cup flour3/4 teaspoon salt1 1/2 cups milk1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded1/8 teaspoon red pepper4 hard-cooked eggs, sliced1/4 melted butter or margarine3/4 cup cracker crumbsCook asparagus spears in boiling salted water for

10-20 minutes, or until just tender. In a saucepan,melted 1/4 cup butter and stir in flour and salt.Blend in enough milk to make a smooth paste. Stirin remainder of milk and cook over medium heatuntil white sauce is thick, stirring constantly. Whilewhite sauce is hot, stir in shredded cheese and redpepper. Stir until cheese is melted.

In a greased 1 1/2-quart baking dish, layer half ofasparagus, sliced eggs and white sauce. Repeatingredients to make a second layer. Top withcracker crumbs mixed with 1/4 cup butter. Bake at350 F or 30 minutes, or until mixture bubbles. Placeunder broiler for two minutes to brown top.

When Juan Carlos Mejia worked in thebig meat packing plants in Nebraska

he dreamed of the day when he would ownhis own grocery store, meat market andeven a little taqueria or cafe.

Now, more than a decade after he left IBPto come to Long Prairie, he has the storeand meat market. They are called LaMichoacana, which signifies a person fromthe Mexican state of Michoacan. A littleover a year ago he opened the taqueria.

The food is cooked by his mother and ahelper and includes a carryout menu of bur-ritos, quesadillas, chile rellonos, tortas orMexican sandwiches, gorditas and a num-ber of items your average non-Mexican isunfamiliar with. The taqueria is open Fri-day, Saturday and Sunday in order to bestserve the Spanish-speaking factory andfarm workers of the area.

Courthouse office workers have also begunto find their way down the narrow aisles tothe taqueria in the back of the store for Fri-day lunch. Mejia knows that for many of theoffice workers, walking down those aisles islike going into a different country. He knowsbecause he feels the same way in some of theother stores in town. He’s talked about waysto overcome those feelings for his customers.But, for now, the English-speaking customershave to settle for his mother’s excellent cook-ing and the colorful murals.

The murals were part of the dream. OneSunday a couple of years ago, Mejia met anitinerant artist in church. He invited him tovisit La Michoacana. Then, over a year’s time,the two created a gallery of colorful images.Their inspiration was the pages of a Mexicancalendar, as well as their own imaginations.On one wall of the taqueria visitors will dis-cover the pyramid of the sun and of the moonalong with Aztec deities. On the opposite wallis a river rushing through a Mexican townsurrounded by orchards.

The murals are not limited to the taque-ria, however. There are bright red roses anda green fearsome soccer-playing eagle overdoorways and shelves in the store. Somepaintings are tucked in corners of the storewhere only adventuresome customers go. Ifyou don’t have the time or money to go toMexico but do have the inclination, visit LaMichoacan in downtown Long Prairie.

Good food, colorful paintings and a memo-rable experience will reward you.
