I grew up on a farm, but I’m definitelynot a farmer. My friends and family knowI’m no where near smart enough, skilledenough or tough enough to be a farmer.Thus, I’m in journalism.

When I need an extra dose of smarts, orhumility, I head back to the home farm.My most recent visit — a six-day, seven-night vacation to the beautiful, rollingLoess Hills of western Iowa — coincidedwith the tail end of corn harvest.

At harvest time, hired hands who meetmodest competency requirements get putbehind the wheel of a tractor and grain cart. As Idrove that cart here and there and everywhere, Ikept a small spiral notebook to jot down the sage bitsof wisdom I picked up on.

The following is what I learned.Rule No. 1: The combine operator is alwaysright

My brother Jeff (the combine operator) made thisknown from the start. Without a clearly establishedchain of command, and absolute fealty to the com-mander, there is chaos. That’s what Jeff said, any-way.Rule No. 2: Put the corn in the truck, not on theground

This is the only rule that is actually somewhatflexible. My dad informed me that if preferred, I wascertainly welcome to grab a shovel and hand-scoopeach cart-full of corn off the ground and into thetruck.Rule No. 3: The early bird gets the push-buttontransmission, tape deck and cup holder

It can be tough to force yourself out of bed on acrisp autumn morning. But when the alternativemeans you’re stuck all day in a tractor withoutaccess to even the basics of modern comfort, you’llsoon realize the importance of such extra effort.Rule No. 4: Don’t try to guess where the com-bine operator wants you to be; you will bewrong

A common rookie mistake. The young grain cartoperator thinks to him/herself, “The combine is justfinishing that row, so that means he’ll come backaround on the next terrace down and I should meethim there.”

Wrong.Did you plant this field? Did you spray

this field? Do you know precisely the layof every acre in this field? No? Then Iguarantee you, you will not be in the rightspot.Rule No. 5: Hurry up and wait

This lesson is not unique to grain cartoperators, or even farming, but that does-n’t make it any less important. Foolish ishe who does not bring a novel, or maga-zine, or sudoku puzzle book, or iPod, orsmartphone. You will need to bring the

cart here. NOW. And yet you may need to sit therepatiently for half an hour as the combine navigatesthe rows. That’s just the way it is.Rule No. 6: Being fired is not an option

This is also known as the “the beatings will con-tinue until morale improves” rule. Some disgruntledgrain cart operators may get the big idea that if theyscrew something up with precisely the right amountof faux-incompetence, they’ll be taken off the graincart crew and given a more ... intellectually stimulat-ing role. This does not work. If you make a mess, youwill clean it up and be sent right back out again. Donot try to fight this rule; you’ll only make thingstougher for yourself later.Rule No. 7: Never leave your lunch in the othertractor

Let nothing tear you asunder from your lunchsack. Carry a backpack with you all day long if youhave to, but do not let your lunch out of your sight.Rule No. 8: Something doesn’t work? Turn itoff, turn it back on. Still broke? Do it again.

The Diagnostics for Dummies rule. There will betimes when you are in the southwest 40 acres, andthe combine operator (a.k.a. boss) is in the northeast40, and something goes wrong with your machine.Do not panic. Just turn everything off, wait 30 sec-onds, then turn it all back on again.

If this does not work after three or so repetitions,you probably seriously wrecked something andyou’re about to be fired.

The U.S. Grains Coun-cil salutes Congress onfinal passage of the long-stalled free trade agreements withPanama, Colombia and South Korea.

These agreements provide significantbenefits for U.S. agricultural trade andthe U.S. economy by leveling the playingfield in markets where U.S. producershave been laboring under an unfair

competitive disadvantage.Ratification of the agree-ments provides for immedi-

ate duty-free access for most U.S. goods,creating opportunities for increases inU.S. agricultural exports which will gen-erate economic growth and U.S. jobs. Theagreements are expected to generateroughly $13 billion in additional exportrevenue, with approximately $11 billion

of the total flowing to South Korea.“This is great news,” said USGC Chair-

man Wendell Shauman. “Our farmerleaders have been working hard withCongressional members to demonstratethe benefits of U.S. agricultural trade.Their hard work has paid off.”

Shauman and Thomas C. Dorr, USGCpresident and CEO, will travel to Colom-bia and Panama in the near future formeetings with private sector and govern-mental leaders aimed at regaining U.S.grain exports to the region. U.S. agricul-tural exports have lost market share inboth countries in recent years becauseother exporting countries have negoti-ated their own free-trade agreements,excluding the United States, while theU.S. trade agreements remained stalled.

In 2007, for example, Colombiaimported 3 million tons of corn with theUnited States enjoying a 95 percent mar-ket share. In 2010, however, imports fellto 700,000 metric tons and U.S. marketshare shrunk to less than 20 percent.

“With a level playing field, the UnitedStates has an excellent chance of winningback these markets,” Shauman said. Wehave a shipping advantage from the Gulfports, and we have historically been atrusted partner and preferred provider forgrain exports in the Caribbean Basin. It’sgreat to be back in the game.”

This commentary was submitted bythe U.S. Grains Council.

Agriculture Secretary TomVilsack made the followingstatement on PresidentObama signing into law threetrade agreements and work-ers’ assistance expected tosupport tens of thousands ofAmerican jobs.

“Today, President Obamasigned a major piece of hisjobs agenda into law: new trade agree-ments with South Korea, Colombiaand Panama. These agreements willsupport tens of thousands of jobs hereat home, put unemployed Americansback to work, and open new opportu-nities for American businesses. ForAmerica’s farmers and ranchers, thetrade agreements are an opportunityto strengthen U.S. agriculture, alreadya bright spot in our economy.

“Farm exports help support morethan 1 million American jobs. This

year and next, U.S. agriculturalexports are on track to reachnew highs, leading to a tradesurplus of over $42 billion,eight times greater than fiveyears ago. When implemented,these three agreements willincrease farm exports by anadditional $2.3 billion — sup-porting nearly 20,000 Ameri-

can jobs — by eliminating tariffs,removing barriers to trade and levelingthe playing field for U.S. producers.

“Overall, these agreements are a winfor the American economy — theymean higher incomes for farmers andranchers, more opportunities for smallbusiness owners and jobs for folks whopackage, ship and market agriculturalproducts.”

•••This statement was submitted by the

U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The Minnesota Farm Bureau Federa-tion is pleased that Congress passedthe three bilateral free-trade agree-ments between the United States andKorea, Colombia and Panama, as wellas, Trade Adjustment Assistance.

“The free trade agreements withKorea, Colombia and Panama havebeen stalled for several years causingmajor trading opportunities to dimin-ish. Swift implementation is critical sowe can restore a level playing field forU.S. farm exports to these threenations,” said MFBF President KevinPaap. “We thank the members of Min-

nesota’s Congressional delegation whovoted for the passage of these threetrade agreements.”

Paap said that economic analysisperformed by the U.S. Department ofAgriculture’s Economic Research Ser-vice estimates that annual direct U.S.agricultural exports to Korea, Colom-bia and Panama will increase by nearly$2.5 billion per year upon full imple-mentation of the agreements.

In total, the agreements are expectedto increase direct exports from Min-nesota by more than $99 million per

year. The agreements willparticularly increasetrade for pork, beef, soy-beans, corn, dairy andprocessed food and fish,resulting in nearly 900additional jobs in Min-nesota.

“The economic growthgenerated from the agree-ments is important tofarmers and ranchers,and it is important for jobcreation in Minnesotaand throughout theUnited States,” Paap said.

The American SoybeanAssociation is celebratingCongressional passage ofthe U.S. Free Trade Agreements withSouth Korea, Colombia and Panamathat represent nearly $3 billion ofadditional agriculture exports to thesetrading partners.

ASA applauds President BarackObama and Congress for workingtogether to reach a final vote andurges the administration to ensurethat these FTAs enter into force byJan. 1, 2012.

“ASA has been working for a numberof years toward passage of these tradeagreements, which contain significantexport gains for U.S. agriculture.” saidASA President Alan Kemper, a soy-bean producer from Lafayette, Ind.

“Increased exports ofU.S. soy and soy-fed meatand poultry will benefit

soybean farmers and rural economies.After nearly five years of delays andloss of U.S. market share, soybeanfarmers look forward to realizing theopportunities these FTAs provide forAmerica’s economic growth.”

The Korea FTA offers immediateduty-free access to U.S. soybeans forcrushing and to U.S. soybean meal. Italso opens up South Korea’s food-grade soybean imports to the privatesector.

The agreement will increase exportsof the major grain, oilseed, fiber, fruitand vegetable, and livestock productsby $1.8 billion annually, according toeconomic forecasts by the American

Farm Bureau Federation.The Colombia FTA will create new

opportunities for U.S. soybean farmersin the Colombian market by immedi-ately eliminating tariffs ranging from5 to 20 percent on soybeans, soybeanmeal and soybean flour, and phasing-out the 24 percent tariffs for crude soy-bean oil and refined soybean oil overfive years.

“Most exports from Colombia alreadyenter the U.S. duty-free, and this FTAwill correct the current tariff imbalance

in agricultural trade between our coun-tries,” Kemper said.

The Panama FTA will benefit soy-bean farmers by immediately remov-ing the tariffs on U.S. soybeans, soy-bean meal and crude vegetable oils.

•••This commentary was submitted by

the American Soybean Association,representing all U.S. soybean farmerson domestic and international issuesof importance to the soybean industry.

ASA: Korea FTA means instant duty-free access

The National Corn Growers Associa-tion praised passage of the free tradeagreements in the House and Senate.

“The three free trade agreementswith Korea, Colombia and Panamaprovide great opportunities for Amer-ica’s farmers,” said NCGA PresidentGarry Niemeyer, a corn farmer fromAuburn, Ill. “Passage by Congressensures our industry continues to leadthe nation in economic growth andinternational competitiveness. In addi-tion, this action shows members ofCongress understand the importanceof the FTAs to rural America.”

Statistics show passage of the threeFTAs could create 250,000 Americanjobs and add an additional $13 billionannually in exports. The United Statescontinues to be the largest producerand exporter of corn in the world,exporting 50.4 million metric tons lastyear.

Since the EU-Korea trade agreementwent into effect July 1, Europeanexports to Korea have increased 36percent from a year earlier.

U.S. farmers have already lost morethan $1 billion in sales to Colombia inthe two years since that country imple-mented a trade deal with Argentinaand Brazil. The Colombia-Canada FreeTrade Agreement that took effect Aug.15 has also put U.S. workers and farm-ers at a disadvantage.

“Prior to Congress’ passage of theFTAs, farmers watched as othernations received access to marketsover the United States,” Niemeyersaid. “We need to keep and create jobsin America. The FTAs will help usachieve that.”

Some serious outdoor carpentry thisfall quickly proved, again, the enor-mous amount of woodworking skills Idid not acquire on the southern Illi-nois dairy farm of my youth.

It’s easy to peg the origins of thisdeficiency: Working with wood on ourfarm usually meant picking up theremains of a gate or fence that failedto withstand the tractor drivinghabits of a hired man or older brother.

Truth be told, two events dominatedour farm woodcraft.

The first was a firewood-makingsession in some distant pastureafter a summer storm toppled a century-old pecantree. The massive job required my father operatinga balky chainsaw, the hired men hand-splitting thepieces with axes, and my brothers and me toting thestraight-grained wedges to a wagon for hauling.

The pecan, when seasoned, warmed the home oftwo hired men, brothers Howard and Jackie, wholived with their mother, Clara, and younger brother,Orlie, in a two-story house supplied by the farm.

Howard, the oldest brother, was a maestro of thewood stove; he could make the family’s Warm Morn-ing stove radiate heat like the summer sun. A goodsense of smell revealed his trick — a shovelful ofsouthern Illinois coal on top of a bed of pecanembers turned the home’s parlor into a Floridabeach.

Well, a Florida beach where someone wasalways frying pork.

The remaining trunk of the fallen tree washauled to a neighboring sawyer who cut itinto piles of heavy, five-quarter two-by-sixes.The nearly indestructible boards went intofences around the dairy barn.The year’s other wood-centered event was

gathering the remnants of once-working fences,gates and other implements to heat three butcheringkettles each February. That we had enough splin-tered kindling to keep three kettles bubbling witheither water, lard or head cheese for two days wasgrim testament to our farm crew’s destructive ability.

Yet our collective wood skills weren’t all destruc-tive; sometimes they were constructive.

For example, in the late-1950s or early ’60s, I recallmy mother’s father, a talented woodworker by trade,helping my father build a 40-by-60 or so loafing shedfor the farm’s dry cows. It stands still, strong andsquare.

We built other farm items from wood, too, like allour hay wagon beds and the boxes of our first silage

wagons. Each was constructed bymy father under the big mapletree next to our house from vari-ous stacks of knotty yellow pine.

Dad’s carpentry tools were few— a set of sawbucks, foldingruler, hammer, square, goodhandsaw, nail apron and an elec-

tric circular saw — but, miraculously, a couple ofdays of measuring, sawing and hammering alwaysyielded a wagon of some sort. Wow.

Good as my father was as a wagon builder, mymother’s father was a true craftsman. So talentedwas he that a farming life gave way to a career incarpentry, then to furniture building, then to pureart. Self-taught, Grandpa spent long, quiet days inhis basement shop shaping, sanding and gluingtogether tables, chairs and, on occasion, churchlecterns and pulpits.

This small man of big ability, however, died youngand most of what I remember of him and that base-ment is the earthy mixture of red oak and his sweatas he made another dining room chair or rockingchair that my grandmother later upholstered orcaned. My mother prizes one his rockers and stilltreasures a small box of his favorite hand tools.

I, however, have none of his tools or talent. I dohave a piece of furniture he and Grandma collabo-rated on and its tight tenons and walnut glow holdsecrets I long to know and likely never will.

FARM & FOOD FILE

By Alan Guebert

Working with wood on our farm usuallymeant picking up the remains of a gate orfence that failed to withstand the tractor driv-ing habits of a hired man or older brother.

OPINION

To the Editor: The Oct. 3 Bluff Country Reader

points out one of the problems that live-stock men in Houston County, Minn., have with thePollution Control Agency.

I was a member of the legislature when the PCAwas created back in the 1960s. While the bill wasbeing considered primarily to handle human waste,it also would be applied to animal waste. It gave thestate agency tremendous powers which, if incor-rectly applied to animal waste would destroy theindustry.

Manure is an excellent organic fertilizer, as is car-

bon dioxide, and many other trace ele-ments found in the soil. So we wrote into

the Minnesota Law, chapter 106.06, aprovision that excluded manure from the law bydefining it as fertilizer.

The problem is that since 1967 the government haspassed another bill, the Clean Water Act. Under theClean Water Act the agency simply goes out anddeclares a stream, no matter how small, as degradedand they are going to make it cleaner than it hasever been. They come out to a farm with livestockand make rules so expensive that many farmers areforced to sell the cows and get out of business.

Good stewardship of the land many times requiresgrass or legumes in the rotation and they can only beconverted to food through livestock. A stream ofwater is a living thing. Mother Nature has for mil-lions of years recycled the life-giving nutrients that

may start with the growing grass which is food forthe cow whose droppings are food for the fish andthe grass. The fish, grass, milk and beef are food forhumans, other animals etc. It is an endless cycle oflife.

The government (who is here to help us) underthreat of heavy fines will force us to change our lifeso that no more organic fertilizer goes into thecreek. Very seldom do individuals drink directlyfrom the creek. Is the water any different thanwhen the huge herds of buffalo roamed the area?

One problem — telling the deer, coon and otheranimals that they can’t use the water for a bath-room. The biggest problem of all, where will a fishfind a place to go? When are we going to get back tocommon sense? Al SchumannEyota, Minn.

The Minnesota Pork Board donated1,860 pounds of ground pork to SecondHarvest Heartland, the Upper Mid-west’s largest hunger relief organiza-tion, to help feed families in needacross the state. Both the MPB andSecond Harvest Heartland are Min-nesota-based organizations that takepride in helping families in need.

“Second Harvest Heartland extendsour sincere gratitude to the MinnesotaPork Board for their generous gift,”said Rob Zeaske, Second HarvestHeartland executive director. “Dona-tions of proteins like pork are tremen-dously valuable, as they are some ofthe most costly to buy for our neigh-bors in need. Thanks to the MinnesotaPork Board, so many families will beable to enjoy this filling, nutritiousfood.”

This summer, the MPB hosted eventsthroughout the Twin Cities. Eventsran May through August as part of theOink Outings campaign, which con-nects consumers in the cities withMinnesota farmers who help ensurefamilies can put safe, nutritious porkon the dinner table. Through activitiesat these events, participants were ableto activate a donation from the MPB toSecond Harvest Heartland of 1,860pounds of ground pork in less thanthree months.

“This donation is one way for porkfarmers to give back to the commu-nity,” said Dave Preisler, MPB execu-tive director. “An added benefit of thiseffort was the opportunity to engageconsumers and farmers in a dialogueabout how their food is raised.”

“It’s great to see two local organiza-tions working together to better ourcommunity,” said Dave Frederickson,Minnesota Department of Agriculturecommissioner. “Our mission is toenhance Minnesotans’ quality of life byensuring the integrity of our food sup-ply, the health of our environment andthe strength of our agricultural econ-omy. This donation helps to fulfill sev-eral parts of that mission.”About the Minnesota Pork Board

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

I hit a milestone this week, turning 60. I’mbeing fitted for a walker next week (just kid-ding). It’s amazing how young 60 lookswhen it appeared so old in my 20s. Age isindeed a number and I love the messagefrom a preacher I recently heard on theradio. He had walked through a cemeteryand noticed the dates on the headstones; theyear of birth and the year of death. But, hesaid the most important part is left blankand that is what went on in “the dash,”the years between the two dates. Heasked, “What are you doing with yourdash?” That’s profound and I challengeyou today with that question as well.

■

Back to business. All eyes remain on dairy productprices which continue to keep pundits gainfullyemployed trying to figure out what they mean. The cashCheddar block cheese price closed the last week of Octo-ber at $1.7725 per pound, up 5.25 cents on the week,and 13.25 cents above a year ago. Barrel, which traded afew days above the blocks, closed at $1.7675, up 7.75cents on the week, and 10.25 above a year ago. Sevencars of block and 11 of barrel found new homes on theweek. The National Agricultural Statistics Service-sur-veyed U.S. average block price hit $1.7271, down apenny, and the barrels averaged $1.7417, up 1.9 cents.

Butter closed Friday at $1.88, up 2 cents on the week,but 30.5 cents below a year ago. Thirteen cars weresold. NASS butter averaged $1.8039, up 5.1 cents.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk lost 6 cents on theweek, closing Friday at $1.43. Extra Grade held all weekat $1.58. NASS powder averaged $1.4969, down 2.6cents, and dry whey averaged 62.08 cents, up 0.2 cent.

Checking the cupboard; the latest Cold Storagereport shows September butter stocks at 151.1 mil-lion pounds, down 9 percent from August, but 16 per-cent above September 2010.

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s Daily DairyReport says the decline was the smallest for the monthin 10 years and barely half the historical rate. U.S.Department of Agriculture’s Dairy Market News says“Butter producers and handlers are indicating thatorders remain strong for upcoming holiday needs.”

American-type cheese stood at 632.6 million pounds,down 2 percent from August, and 1 percent below a yearago. The total cheese inventory stood at 1.04 billionpounds, down 2 percent from August and a year ago.

The data suggests “little improvement in cheesesales in September as the total inventory is 15 per-cent above the five-year average for that date andAmerican stocks are 10 percent above the five yearaverage,” according to the DDR.

■

FC Stone dairy economist Bill Brooks said in Tuesday’sDairyLine that the drawdown in stocks wasn’t as muchas he thought it would be but the American type cheeseinventory decline was between the five- and 10-yearaverage and a little stronger than the five-year averagebut overall “pretty typical” for September. He doesn’t see

that having much impact on the market.Cheese has been “bouncing around

some” since prices came off the $2 pluslevel, he said, but he doesn’t believe any-one is overly comfortable with whereprices are at. “Buyers would like to seethem a little bit lower, sellers would like tosee them a bit higher,” he said, “but there’sa fair amount of selling taking place.”

The high price had buyers purchasinghand-to-mouth, anticipating that the pricewould come down, he said, and now that the

price has fallen there’s more demand andlikely some rebuilding of inventories.

The relatively strong milk produc-tion is resulting in making more cheese

than we otherwise would have, given where pricesare and where producer’s profitability is at, Brookssaid, so even though the Dairy Products reportshowed cheese production has slipped some “it was-n’t enough to offset the slowdown in demand andthat kept inventories from growing a great deal.They bounced around and didn’t go in any one direc-tion, Brooks said, “and now sellers have product theywant to get rid of and buyers are willing to buy it.”

■

Jerry Dryer’s Oct. 21 Dairy and Food Market Ana-lyst predicted that cheese would “bop around $1.70until cheese supplies simply overwhelm orders.” Hereported that order takers in the cheese business“might as well be on holiday.”

“July felt like October, now October feels like July,”according to an Upper Midwestern broker. He wasreferring to the fast pace of orders in July and theextremely slow pace this month. Dryer said, “just thereverse of a typical year.”

Retail cheese sales were down about 4 percent inJuly, August and September, Dryer said, and Kraft’ssales were off 16 percent, based on Nielsen data.Most other brands were in positive sales territory, hesaid, but beverage milk sales were also down 4 per-cent in the same period.

The DDR reported that American cheese use in theJune-to-August period was down 3.1 percent, whiledisappearance of other cheese varieties was up just1.5 percent, according to USDA data. That left totalcheese disappearance down 0.4 percent in the three-month stretch, the first decline in total cheese use intwo-and-a-half years. Cheese export growth slowed toplus-4.2 percent and domestic use was off 0.6 percentin the three-month period, according to the DDR.

■

Looking “back to the futures” combined with theannounced federal order Class III prices, the ClassIII contract’s average for the last half of 2011 was at$18.72 on Sept. 29, $19.16 on Oct. 7, $18.97 on Oct.14, $19.12 on Oct. 21, and was hovering around$19.34 at our deadline on Oct. 28.

MIELKE, from pg. 18Aof Arizona to sell a total of 3.92 millionpounds of Cheddar and Monterey Jackcheese to customers in Asia, NorthAfrica, and the Middle East.

The product will be deliveredthrough March 2012 and raised theCWT’s 2011 cheese export total to 78.9million pounds. FC Stone’s e-DairyInsider reminds us that Mexico haslifted its retaliatory tariffs followingresolution of a U.S.-Mexico truckingdispute, opening prospects forincreased exports to that country.

Meanwhile, farm milk production issteady in the Northeast and Centralregions and some states in the South-west, according to the USDA. Idahoand Utah milk supplies are decreas-ing. Florida and California milk issteadily trending higher.

Weather hadn’t takena toll on production theweek of Oct. 17 but man-ufacturing milk supplies continued tobe lessened by fluid milk demand.Cream demand from ice cream accountssoftened but interest in cream for sourcream, dips, cream cheese and otherholiday-related items is increasing.

■

Cost of production is one of the topconcerns for farmers, especially thoseregularly purchasing feed inputs.Alfalfa hay supplies are tight. During2011, domestic buyers are increasinglycompeting with offshore buyers for hay.

Foreign Agricultural Service reportsfor January to August had U.S. exportsof alfalfa hay, at 1.1 million tons, up 13percent from the same months of 2010.FAS reports Japan and United Arab

Emirates lead inimporting alfalfa hay.Milk supplies also are

heavy in New Zealand and Argentina as Ireported last week, however the DailyDairy Report says a natural gas pipelineleak on New Zealand’s north island thisweek resulted in the closure of 15 Fonterradryer plants and subsequent dumping ofan estimated 30 million liters of milk perday. Some plants were soon back on linewith back-up gas supplies. Estimates vary,the DDR said, but as much as a third ofNew Zealand’s milk production was report-edly withheld from the market on Oct. 25.

■

In politics, the International DairyFoods Association gave a thumbs-downto the Institute of Medicine’s front-of-pack nutrition labeling rating and sym-bols recommendations, saying it uses a“flawed formula that could confuse con-sumers seeking information on thenutrient content of food and beverages.”

“According to the proposed labeling sys-tem, low-fat dairy products,which are rec-ommended as nutrient-rich foods to encour-age in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans,would receive a rating of two stars whileproducts devoid of positive nutrients such asa diet soft drink could qualify for threestars,” said Cary Frye, IDFA vice presidentof regulatory and scientific affairs.

“A labeling system that focuses oncalories and ‘nutrients to avoid’ does notprovide consumers with the full range ofinformation needed to make healthyand nutritious choices,” IDFA said. Thecall was made for a simplified labelsymbol that would go on the front of allfood packages and highlight the number

of calories per serving. The symbolwould also use a zero to three star, orpoint, system to indicate how healthfula food is based on eligibility criteria andqualifying levels of saturated fat andtrans-fat, sodium and added sugars.

“Providing a complete picture of theproduct, including nutrients to encour-age and others to limit, in an easy-to-understand, consistent labeling formatwould be much more helpful than thisover-simplified approach,” Frye said.

■

The continuing slide in fluid milksales remains a disappointment for thedairy industry and some questionwhether fluid milk promotion is“spending good money after bad.” DairyManagement Inc.’s Joe Bavido told mein an interview at World Dairy Expothat the DMI’s board has had similarthoughts after spending $50 million to$70 million per year in the ’90s on the“Got Milk” and “Milk Mustache” cam-paigns and yet sales continued to fall.

That led to changes, Bavido said, andthe DMI totally eliminated the genericadvertising of milk as they felt theycould gain more with partnerships withfast food outlets like McDonald’s.Bavido said fluid sales have grownthere and the DMI concentrated ondoing a better marketing job of milk inschools, offering a product “the way kidswanted it and where they wanted it.”

Grain AnglesRisk management

key to survivalAs we wrap up harvest and prepare for winter, we

look back on an amazing year in the markets.Clearly, there was no lack of drama and more than

enough volatility to cause sleepless nights. Every-where that we look, we see risk and opportunity. Itseems to be human nature tofocus on one of these sets of cir-cumstances more than the other.If we are bullish, we tend to focuson the opportunities.

While, if we are bearish, therisks are all that we can see. Ittakes a great deal of discipline tomaintain a healthy balance inthis current market environment.

Risk is defined as the “potentialthat a chosen action or activity(including the choice of inaction)will lead to a loss (an undesirableoutcome).” The last several yearsthe grain markets have rewarded those who acceptedthe risk of “inaction.” Those that did nothing in theway of proactive, pre-harvest marketing and simplyheld on to their grain unpriced until after harvest;were rewarded with higher prices.

This is unusual market behavior and there is littlehistorical evidence to support this as a profitable,ongoing practice.

The power of regret (and anticipation of regret) canplay a significant part in decision-making. We lookback on what marketing strategies we should haveused the last couple of years and we feel a sense ofregret about lost opportunities.

The emotional components are oddly human. We feelworse about selling $6 corn and watching it trade to $7;

Grain OutlookCorn harvest well ahead

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing Oct. 28.

CORN — As we pushed into the final stage of har-vest, corn traded entirely within last week’s range.This consolidation was accompanied by improvingnews from the European com-munity on how they plan to fixtheir debt crisis, which in turnpushed the U.S. dollar to its low-est level since early September.

There was one bump in theroad this week when a meeting ofEuropean financial leaders wascanceled, although the leader-ship meeting went on as planned.European leaders announced apackage that included banks tak-ing a 50 percent haircut on thevalue of Greek debt, increasingthe bailout fund to $1 trillionEuros, and raising the capital ratio of EU banks. Thirdquarter Gross Domestic Product in the United Statesat 2.5 percent was as expected, but nearly double thegrowth seen in the second quarter. The U.S. dollar wassubstantially weaker and gold higher as a result oftraders’ reactions to the EU announcement.

Corn harvest at 65 percent as of Oct. 23 was furtheralong than the market expected, meaning not asmany bushels were left to come into the pipeline. Theaverage harvest pace for this time frame is 51 per-cent complete. The Eastern Corn Belt is lagging dueto rain and would like to see a dry period. Ohio cornharvest was only 14 percent complete versus 41 per-cent average. Both Illinois and Minnesota were 79percent complete. Basis levels continued tostrengthen domestically with export numbers

Livestock AnglesCattle acting

erratically latelyAs we end October, the livestock markets seem to have

lost some of their volatility. However given the state ofthe markets in general it is likely we will see that volatil-ity return in the weeks ahead. This could lead to somesharp and quick moves to both cattle and hogs.

The cattle market has seen somepretty erratic price moves in thepast several weeks. Cash cattleprices have advanced then declinedonly to return back higher again.During this time the futures led thecash markets to these sharp movesand eventually closing higher.

The small problem that haseffected the cattle market in thepast is still the problem today.The beef cutout reaches the $185per hundredweight area and thevolume in the boxed beef beginsto drop. This continues to reflectdomestic retail resistance at these higher levels.

With competitive meats at much lower wholesaleprices, it will be hard for the beef market to make anysignificant advances without the meats makingadvances in prices also. Demand will continue to bethe key for price direction in the weeks ahead.

On the supply side, the U.S. Department of Agricul-ture on Oct. 21, released the Monthly Cattle on FeedReport. The results were as follows: On-feed, 105 per-cent; placements, 100 percent; marketed, 101 per-cent, all as in comparison to last year. The report wasseen as slightly negative as placements and on-feednumbers were higher than estimates.

With the economy still in a poor state, and thepackers in a poor margin situation, it seems unlikely

NYSTROM, from pg. 22Aslightly lower. Farmers are in nohurry to sell at these levels which iskeeping pipelines tight and leaving it to the basisand futures markets to attract bushels.

China announced this week they expect to import5 million metric tons of corn this year. The U.S.Department of Agriculture has them dialed in for 2mmt. The USDA also announced a corn sale of100,000 mt to unknown. Ethanol production for theweek ending Oct. 21 was 909,000 barrels per day, up1,000 from the previous week and 3 percent higherthan last year. This is the largest weekly numbersince June.

Weekly export sales were dismal at only 13.2 mil-lion bushels. This dropped total commitments to 4percent higher than last year versus 5 percent lastweek. The biggest buyer was Japan, followed byMexico. This week also saw Japan purchasing acargo of Ukrainian corn, the first time Japan hassourced corn there in over a year, and Taiwan boughta corn cargo each from Brazil and Ukraine. TheInternational Grains Council refreshed their world

corn production up by 10 mmt to arecord 855 mmt.OUTLOOK: Outside markets con-

tinue to exert directional influence, but post-harvestSouth American weather should gain in importance.The next fundamental push should come from theNov. 9 USDA crop report. By most accounts, theUSDA needs to increase China’s import line by 50million bushels. Later corn yields were also in theslightly disappointing category in many areas. Couldwe see smaller yield and carryout numbers inNovember? December corn was up 5 3/4 cents thisweek to settle at $6.55 per bushel. The short-termrange for corn is $6.65/$6.80 to $6.25/bu.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans were well on their wayto play catch-up on corn this week, inspired byimproved manufacturing growth in China in Octoberfor the first time in four months and a weaker dollar,before falling victim to end of month/positionevening/pre-weekend selling. January soybeanswere up 5 1⁄4 cents this week, closing at $12.26bu.,but closed the week on a weak note.

Harvest in the United States was 80 percent com-

plete versus the 71 percent average. This was inline with expectations. South American productionestimates for this coming year are running in the 73mmt to 76 mmt range for Brazil and 52 mmt to 54mmt for Argentina. The USDA’s last numbers were73.5 mmt and 53 mmt, respectively. La Nina usu-ally produces drier conditions for southern Braziland Argentina in late spring to early summer.Extended weather forecasts need to be monitored.

China is estimating their soybean imports at 56mmt, close to the USDA’s 56.5 mmt forecast.China’s September soybean imports were 4.1 mmt,bringing 2010-11 crop year imports to 52.3 mmt.

Export sales this week were disappointing at 8.3million bushels with Mexico and China the leadingbuyers. Total export commitments are running 33percent behind last year.

OUTLOOK: A strong basis market is still beingseen in the country with grower selling nearly non-existent as harvest is virtually over. Once the bindoors slam shut, the market is going to have a moredifficult time in attracting bushels into the domesticpipeline. January soybeans should find first supportnear $12.07 and first resistance just over $12.50/bu.The weather situation in South America and thepace of U.S. exports are currently bearish, but domes-tic demand is friendly as well as recent developmentswith Europe’s economic situation.

MARKETING

TEALE, from pg. 22Athat a sustained rally in the cattle market is in thepicture at this time. Producers should consider usingthe current strength to protect some inventory.

Hogs have recently run into resistance and priceshave fallen back as supplies of hogs have expandedsince the first of October. At the same time porkcutout advanced over the $100/cwt. level and the vol-ume in pork product declined again reflecting adomestic resistance to higher-priced meat.

Export business has remained good, however with

the U.S. dollar remaining firm against most foreigncurrencies, expanding exports may be difficult.

On Oct. 21, the USDA released a Cold Storage Reportthat indicated a fairly large increase in total pork sup-plies in storage over the past month and last year. Thiswould also indicate that demand is the major influenceon hog and pork prices. With increasing numbers ofhogs and building supplies of pork, the hog marketshould have a difficult time in sustaining a rally at thistime. Therefore producers should consider protectinginventory through the remainder of the year.

Hogs run into resistance; prices fall back

NEHER, from pg. 22Athan when we sell $6 corn after seeing trade at $7. It isall the same money, yet we strangely feel better sellinginto a “down” market than selling into a rally market.

If risk and opportunities are “flip sides of the samecoin,” then regret and overconfidence are likewise. Inthese profitable times for grain producers, every-thing that we do seems to make money. This tends tolead to complacency and overconfidence. This canlead to taking on poorly managed risk and losingsight of the financial hazards along the way. Riskmanagement will be the key to our ability to leveragethe opportunities ahead.

Risk management is the “identification, assess-ment and prioritization of risks followed by coordi-nated and economical application of resources tominimize, monitor and control the probability and/orimpact of unfortunate events.”

It is easy to make the conclusion that the elimina-tion of risk is the key to success. If this is one’s goal,very little money will be made in our operations. Onemust take some risk, in order to leverage the oppor-tunities in the marketplace.

The key is to find a balance between acceptingsome risks and mitigating others with risk manage-ment tools and management practices.

The practice of “laying risk off onto others,” is oneto be mastered. The use of a “risk ledger” is helpfulfor monitoring and controlling the “probabilityand/or impact of unfortunate events.”

On one side of the ledger, list all of the identifiedrisks. As the risk is mitigated, it is moved to the otherside of the ledger. An example of unpriced grain, beingat risk of being sold into a falling market, is moved tothe mitigated side of the ledger when it is priced.

We in production agriculture are risk takers. If wedid not take the risk of putting the seed into theground, we would never have a crop to harvest. Thereis always weather risk and other production risk. Mar-gin risk is ever present in this market environment.

We must learn how to give the risk to others when-ever possible. We give up some of the “upside” opportu-nity when we do this, yet we eliminate the “downside”consequence. When this can be accomplished, whilelocking-in a profit, we position ourselves for success.

Find balance in handling risk

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

Appropriately titled “Let’s Growwith Two Plus,” a special media eventat the Jeremy and Tracy Geske farm-stead Oct. 12 featured six Minnesotasheep producers and Burton Pfliger, aveteran North Dakota sheep man whoalso is secretary-treasurer of theAmerican Sheep Industry. The ambi-tious goals of the ASI as presented bythis team are:

Goal 1 — In smaller flocks, increaseat least two ewes per flock; in eweflocks of 100 ewes or more increasetwo ewes per 100 head.

Goal 2 — Increase the averagebirth rate to two lambs per ewe.Nationally the figure is only about 1.5lambs per ewe today.

Goal 3 — Increase the harvestedlamb crop by 2 percent, which wouldbe an increase of 67,500 lambs mar-

keted.The projected deadline for these

goals is 2014. If the goals are met, itwould mean an additional 175,000ewes and an additional 254,000 lambs.An expansion of the U.S. sheep indus-try couldn’t happen at a better time.The industry is experiencing recordhigh demand for both wool and meatwith a net result of historically highlamb prices

“Nationwide these increases wouldresult in a sheep inventory of 315,000more lambs. At today’s market pricesthat equates to $71 million more dol-lars in the bank account of America’ssheep producers. Plus there would bean additional 2 million more pounds ofwool with a market value of $3 millionmore dollars in the hands of produc-ers,” Pfliger said.

He also noted that for every 1,000ewes there are an additional 18 jobs

created. These increasesprojected in the sheepinventory would create orsave more than 6,700jobs. A major objective ofthe “Let’s Grow” initiativeof ASI is to encourage newproducers into the indus-try.

“We’ve teamed up witha network of state associ-ations which will serve asmentors working withthese new producers,” hesaid mentioning the web-sitewww.growourflock.org asbeing an excellent sourceat your fingertips for thelatest in managementand marketing information. The ASIwebsite, www.sheepusa.org, provides astate-by-state breakdown of sheepnumbers, plus a listing of the variousbreed associations and resources onauction barns, feeder lamb sources andmarketing outlets for marketing bothlambs and older sheep.

The Bismarck, N.D., producer told ofhis dad starting their flock in 1967.“Apparently sheep didn’t have a posi-tive financial reputation so when myDad went to the bank for a sheep loan,they turned him down but did loanhim money to buy a new pickup. Hedidn’t buy the pickup but insteadbought sheep. I was about 4 years oldat the time,” Pfliger said.

Today he runs a commercial opera-tion of 300 to 350 ewes but thatincludes 40 head of registered Hamp-shire and 40 head of registered Suffolkthat he uses to produce both terminalrams for himself and other producersin his region.

Record high prices for market lambswould suggest heavier lambs beingprocessed these days. But not neces-sarily so. Like any livestock enterprise,feed prices are the challenge. He buysmost of his corn. This year with cornpushing $7 he sold most of his lambsat 110 pounds because it didn’t pay toput on more weight. He did take somelambs to 140 pounds but they nettedonly $11 more per lamb than the 110-pounders.

His take on the growth of the sheepindustry, especially in view of thehigher feed costs and pasture costs? “Ithink it will grow. These markets areexciting and creating new interest. Ata sale just recently, I saw farmers whohad been in the business years back

but sold out in the early 2000s whenfat lambs were down to about 50-centsa pound. But these guys were back atthe sale barn buying ewes again.

“At this sale I saw some of these guysgoing through the pens of ewe lambspicking out lambs to be auctioned offseparately. So today there is a tremen-dous demand for replacement ewes.And perhaps a goodly number offeeder lambs will in fact get sorted outwith good females kept for the replace-ment market.”

He doubts that feed costs impactthese decisions because sheep typicallycan utilize some of these non-tradi-tional feedstuffs. Both commercialsheep people and “hobby” farmers arein the market with yearling ewesbringing up to $400 at a recent Bow-man, N.D., sale.

Pfliger controls costs through hisrotation pasture program whichinvolves four native-grass pastures.Each pasture gets three weeks of restin between each grazing. “Helps tobreak that worm cycle and it rejuve-nates the grass so it grows longer intothe season. It’s a mix of blue gamma,side oats and needle grass. I call it thegood stuff that God put out there eonsago.”

Dan Persons, a Kensington, Minn.,commercial producer is only 10 yearsinto the sheep business starting with50 ewes. Today he runs a 1,000-eweflock and markets about 1,300 lambseach year. He lambs both the tradi-tional January-May period but alsobreeds several ewes for an Octoberlambing. That fall lambing is basicallyto lessen the January-May load.

See SHEEP, pg. 25A

SHEEP, from pg. 24APersons is past president of the Min-

nesota Lamb and Wool ProducersAssociation. He’s encouraged with thenew optimism that he senses amongestablished sheep producers plus thestrong interest by hobby farmers whosee a small ewe flock as a niche mar-keting opportunity.

“We plan to increase our flock by 5 to10 percent per year for the next sev-eral years. Every time we think wehave reached the limit on our facilitiesand labor, we re-evaluate and findways to be more efficient with both,”said Persons who uses select cullingand building with elite ewe lambs.

He said it is imperative that industrymembers take the increased demandfor more lamb seriously and he encour-ages sheep producers to increase theirnumbers. He said membership in theMLWPA as well as information fromthe Pipestone Sheep Program and thePipestone Veterinary Clinic can betremendously helpful especially fornewbies in the sheep business.Kroger and Walmart want morelamb

Lamb processors are clamoring for agreat supply of lamb. In 2011, Kroger,one of America’s largest grocery storechains, launched an American lambbranded campaign to sell more Ameri-can-grown product. Walmart alsomade a commitment to exclusivelycarry American lamb in its stores.

Glenwood, Minn., producer RandyKinney is a state director of theMLWPA. He used to live in St. Paulbut now has an 83-acre hobby farmthat houses his 80-ewe flock. “Thisstarted as a hobby. I still have my day-time job but really do enjoy workingwith the sheep. The investment waslow. We use an old dairy barn for lamb-ing and feeding.”

Kinney uses the Polypay breed,noted for their prolificacy. “Not thebest quality wool but lots of lambs. A200-percent lamb crop is quite doablewith this breed. And my feeding pro-gram is basically what I can find inleftover residue, be that from a localsweet corn plant, or culled potatoes, orDDGs from an area ethanol plant. I’mglad we chose sheep for our hobbyfarm.”

John Dvorak, a Webster, Minn., pro-ducer with purebred Hampshire andDorset, used to be a 40-cow dairyfarmer but lean times in the milkingbusiness prompted him to sell the cowsand get a day-time job. “But the kidswere devastated when we sold the

cows. So we soon bought some sheepand it seemed we were in the rabbitbusiness, the numbers went up sofast.”

The sheep were great for family lifewith he and his children showingsheep at various fairs. He was soonproviding six to seven processed lambsto a local store specializing in locallygrown food products, especially farm-reared lamb.

Because of his personal health, Dvo-rak has cut back to 40 ewes with mostsold into the breeding market. “Sheepare a good niche-farming enterprise.You can get by with minimal equip-ment costs and space. We need to buildour industry because it’s pretty obvi-ous the market is growing. And if wedon’t provide the product, importedlamb from Australia and elsewherewill be there.”

Don Adelmann, of Cologne, Minn.,labels himself as a small commercialsheep producer. “We only have 40 ewes.I started with one lamb and one goat.Today I sell some of my lambs into theethnic market. And because I’m closeto the Twin Cities that can sometimesbe a good outlet.”

He told of four men who stopped athis farm. “They didn’t have even a spe-cial knife so I borrowed my knife tothem and they butchered 13 that day.”

Breeding sheep for the seedstockmarket is the practice of Rex Quam,Wanamingo, Minn., seedstock pro-ducer of both Suffolk and Hampshirebreeding stock. He does some falllambing and lambs out about 100 ofhis ewes each spring. He’s generatingpremium prices for his product bydoing embryo-transfer work and thenselling that seedstock via the internet,Facebook and other electronic tech-nologies.

“This year we’ve sold seedstock into14 states via the internet and alwayswith a premium price,” Quam said. Hetook online courses with the PipestoneVeterinary Clinic to get into thehands-on process of embryo transferwork. He also attends various sheepindustry shows to build his network ofpotential buyers. Quam is now on theNational Suffolk Sheep Board of Direc-tors.

Starting as a 9-year-old 4-H’er,Geske shared how his dad let him picktwo ewes which eventually became theseedstock for his purebred Suffolkoperation. He mostly sells breedingstock with many of his rams sold asterminal sires to western range pro-ducers.

“Ram prices have been good. At arecent sale in western South Dakota,breeding rams averaged nearly $1,000per animal,” Geske said.

The Geske family moved to his NewPrague farmstead in 2010. The ratherpretentious building that is now hissheep barn used to be a boutique shop.

The building still features specialdirectional ceiling lighting fixtures,varnished walls, designer windows,even ceiling fans.

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

Renville County, Minn., sheep producer Brad Myershosted 215 fifth grade students at his farm in mid-October as part of a four-farm visit sponsored by theRenville County HRA/Ag Energy committee. Therewere five bus loads arriving about every hour.

“These visits are as rewarding for me as they arefor the students. They’ve asked some very intelli-gent questions. It recharges me. I’m excited thatthey are interested in agriculture. Anymore therearen’t enough young people caring about farmingand agriculture,” Myers said.

“In my industry I go west to buy my breeding stock andmy feeder lambs.At these sale barns I see the seats filledwith 65- to 75-year old farmers and ranchers.That scaresthe dickens out of me.We need these younger kids to getexcited about agriculture. I think it’s up to us older peopleto help generate this interest.”

Myers and his son Dusty operate Middle CreekSheep Farm which involves 900-acres crop farming, an800-ewe lambing operation and a 3,500-head yearlyfeeder lamb business. Despite record prices in thesheep business he talked of three limitations.

“There’s an attitude in this country that doesn’t likethe hard work that’s part of the sheep business. They’drather do the 9-to-5 jobs with weekends off. Plus theydon’t like dealing with snow storms in their feedlotsand muddy yards in the spring. Last winter just aboutbrought us to our knees here at our farm. Also thepredator issue is a major thing. We struggle with ithere and I know producers in other parts of the country

also struggle with pred-ators.” Middle CreekSheep Farm sits on thenorth edge of the Min-nesota River.

“And the third challenge anymore is access tomarkets. The two closest processors for our lambsare now either Denver or Detroit. Some of my cus-tomers say to me, ‘If you weren’t in business Iwouldn’t be in business either’ because there arejust fewer options for marketing your animals,”Myers said.

He told the visiting students that his feederlambs produce three to four pounds of wool at 4to 5 months of age; the ewes shear about 10pounds of wool but that’s a full year’s growth.His shearing crew comes from three states anddoes 110 to 150 sheep per day.

The students learned that his feeder lambs gettrucked in from out West in loads of about 500 lambs pertruck. And they stay intact in the same finishing pens

where they are started slowly on grain. “These lambsare just weaned off their mother’s milk so eating grain is

SHEEP, from pg. 25Aewes last year to more than 40 currently with plansfor more.

“Management is the key to success in this industry.Thanks to the Pipestone program and good help fromgrowers within our own association there are lots ofeducational opportunities for potential producers,”Geske said.

According to U.S. Department of Agriculture data,Minnesota has about 2,500 sheep producers withover half being flocks of 25 ewes or less. In SouthDakota over half the flocks total 100 ewes or more.State ranking of the total number of sheep and

lambs as of Jan 1, 2011, showed Texas No. 1 with880,000 head and California No. 2 at 610,000 head.South Dakota ranked sixth with 275,000 head; Min-nesota No. 12 with 130,000 head.

Total U.S. sheep numbers last Jan. 1 were 5.53 mil-lion head. Sheep are produced in all 50 states. In2010 there were 81,000 sheep farms and ranches.

Sheep are indeed a dual purpose animal valued forboth its meat and its wool. Sheep are also raised forproducing milk, most of which is processed intocheese. The price of sheep milk is 75 to 85 cents perpound, four times higher than the price of dairy milk.In 2008 there were 1.1 billion head of sheep in theworld with China No. 1 at 136.4 million; AustraliaNo. 2 at 79.9 million and India No. 3 at 64.98 millionhead.

MYERS, from pg. 26Aa new experience. It’s about three weeks before I havethem on full feed,” he said.

A big dog came loping into the yard as Myers talked withthe students. He told them this is the dog that guards hissheep. It’s a Great Pyrenees (up to 120 pounds matureweight) that he purchased 12 years ago. He told the stu-dents, “coyotes used to kill our lambs and ewes right inthese pens even after we installed yard lights for each pen.One night a single coyote killed 34 lambs in one pen. Sincewe got our dog,we haven’t lost a single sheep to coyotes.”

Because of coyotes, it doesn’t work to pasture hisewes on the farm. Instead he rents pasture in NorthDakota, about 25 miles west of Bismarck. Last seasonhe shipped 428 ewes to North Dakota and brought 422back to the farm (about 425 miles one way).

Middle Creek Farm lambs one group in January; thenext group in February; the third group in March. “Wewant to be done by April so we can plant corn,” Myerssaid, but with an ultimate goal of 1,000 ewes theyalready are making plans to increase the size of theircurrent lambing barn (to handle 300 ewes at one time).They drop about 180 lambs per 100 ewes with a mar-keting goal of 170 to 175 lambs per 100 ewes.

He acknowledges a 200-percent lamb crop isdoable but it lessens the longevity of his ewes, “andyou’re working with more prolific breeds which tendto bring down your wool quality. Plus you’re oftendealing with orphan lambs, bottle-fed lambs andother nuances. It’s a time thing with us.”

Most of his feeder lambs are purchased from Dakota,Montana and Wyoming ranchers. “Anymore it’s nearlyimpossible to buy a load of feeder lambs out of Texas.The ethnic trade is taking nearly all the lambs downthere. But we still buy some lambs out of California,even Oregon. Freight has become a bigger issue andbecause a lot of our competitors have their feedlots in

northern Colorado it’s cost prohibitive to buy feederlambs in California, truck them to Minnesota, then shipthem back to Colorado to be slaughtered.”

The 150-pound market weight is their benchmark sincethat weight fits well with the genetics they purchase. “But

probably more important is the packer that buys our fedlambs.Their customers prefer that stronger weight lamb.”

The majority of Middle Creek Farm lambs go toJBS at Greeley, Colo., with 300 to 330 per load, non-stop 747 miles to the packing house.

Chuck Mooty, new owner of the Faribault (Minn.)Woolen Mills, indicated his facility is a steady market forMinnesota-produced wool. The firm has a major contractwith the U.S. Army to supply much of the clothing forU.S. military personnel wherever they are stationed.

Until purchased by Mooty and his cousin, this his-toric business had been shut down for several years.“Now we’ve got 177,000 square feet of floor space;we’ve mended and repaired all the equipment. Todaywe are the only totally integrated fabric mill in theUnited States,” Mooty said.

Depending upon the availability, price and quality,the firm uses both domestic and imported wool. Excit-ing for them and the Minnesota wool industry is thefact that Faribault Woolen will be opening a “Made inAmerica” shop in the Mall of America in November.

“We’re making every effort to bring back the textileindustry to America that had pretty much gone off-shore in recent years,” Mooty said.

HINCKLEY, Minn. — JanetMcNally of Tamarack Lamb & Wool hasbeen working toward a goal these lastthree decades or more.That goal is whatshe calls a complete sheep. The result isthat she has developed a well-muscled,growthy sheep that averages 2.8 lambs.

“Our goal has been to select for anumber of traits,” said McNally, whohas focused on developing a meat ani-

mal. “We are working for a balancedanimal that is high in growth, muscle,milk, numbers born and numbersweaned. Our objective is to have ramsthat are superior all across the board.It takes a long time. It took me 10 yearsto get just one ram that was positive inall traits. It’s a slow, tedious process butyou are rewarded when you have ani-mals with all those traits.”

It actually took longer than 10 yearsto develop that ram. Before McNally

could begin using the technology thathas brought her close to her goal shehad to adjust her thinking.

“I set out as a 20-something college stu-dent to put together a performance-basedseedstock-type flock,” said McNally, whohas bachelor’s of science degree in animalscience and dairy science and advancedstudies in animal breeding. “I was alwaysvery commercially oriented but I wasalso showing Dorsets in the late-’70s anda judge took me aside. He told me I had todecide which way to go. He said that theshow ring is a totally different worldthan the commercial world.”

“That was the best piece of advice I evergot. It gave me focus and I gave up on theidea that you can have a show animal anda performance animal. From there it wasjust following the technology.”

While McNally was trying to followtechnology that was itself changing,the sheep industry was changing too.

“We had polled Dorsets in the ’70s,”she said. “I used them for acceleratedlambing and fall laming. I felt it was agreat sheep but was not prolificenough. It had a lot of milk but notenough lambs to utilize it well.”

She tried some of the Finn-Dorset-Ram-boulliet crosses but they didn’t do verywell on her pasture-based system. At thetime McNally was experimenting withraising lambs largely on pasture. Sincethen she has refined and improved onwhat she was learning in the ’70s and ’80s.

“I began pasture lambing and rear-ing lambs on pasture without any sup-plemental feed in 1991,” she said. “By2003 I had eliminated grain feeding ofany kind altogether.”

When the Finnsheep crosses failed todo well on pasture McNally lookedDown Under. She had heard about theBooroola genetics, which originatedfrom an Australian ranch of thatname, and she thought they couldimprove her Dorsets.

“I purchased some Booroola-Merinosemen,” she said. “I bred my ewes to theBooroola-Merino rams but I back-crossed to Dorsets. My goal was to havea Dorset with a Booroola gene in it.”

“It was successful. We have ewes thatcarry this gene and produce 2.8 lambs.With some good early advice I selectedfor heavy milk production. As a result Ibelieve today we may have one of theheaviest milking meat type sheep inthe country. I’m not comparing them toa dairy breed but for a meat breed Ihave data that show we may have theheaviest milking ewes there are.”

But, as is often the case, when oneproblem is successfully addressed twomore present themselves. McNally hasbeen breeding to eliminate the Merinotraits and strengthen the Dorsettraits. Neither project has been easy.

“So I’ve been selecting for pounds perlamb weaned and I was quite happywith the results,” she said. “But theDorset industry has changed a lot sincethe ’70s. It has been increasingly difficultto find a real Dorset any more. By a realDorset I mean that heavy-muscled,medium-sized sheep that thrives on pas-ture. I became discouraged and even quitregistering my ewes because I couldn’tfind rams that were really Dorsets.”

See TAMARACK, pg. 29A

Linda McNally’s quest for the complete sheep resulted in the Tamarack that aver-ages 2.8 lambs per ewe.

TAMARACK, from pg. 28A Sheep Improvement Program. Her objective was toconduct objective performance testing to furtherimprove her flock.

“NSIP quit for a short while in 1995 so, not want-ing to stop the performance testing, I went withLambPlan in Australia in 1996,” McNally said.“We’ve been on a BLUP, which is best linear unbi-ased prediction, since then. It’s an objective way topull out the environment from your weights andmeasures. I can determine which animals are genet-ically superior for growth, for milk, and for carcasstraits like loin eye depth and fat depth. I’ve beenusing this technology since 1991 and it’s been anincredibly powerful tool.”

“I take measurements on all the usual stuff, thebirth date, the dam, sire, whether it’s a single, twin,or triplet,” she said. “Most people take that. Then Itake a 100-day weight. That’s my weaning weight.Then we take a 150-day weight as a post-weaningweight. At 150 days we also measure the loin eye andfat depth through ultra-sound scanning.”

“It’s also important to have the location that thelamb was reared in,” McNally said. “If you have anumber of pens in the barn it’s important to recordwhich one it was reared in.” She also keeps track ofthe multiple pasture locations as well.

“If you want to enroll in LambPlan they’ll set youup with a software program that you enter your datathat you’ve been keeping into and then send it tothem. Within two weeks to a month you’ll get areport,” McNally said.

“It’s all managed in your software,” she said. “I canget up to 30 different reports. I can rank my animalsby my own index which I’ve had developed for me orI can have them ranked by other indexes such as theself-replacing carcass index. There are also woolindexes and indexes for dual-purpose sheep. I canrank your animals according to the index and thengo out to the paddock, run them through a chute, andpick out your top producing animals.”

As McNally has worked to develop her completesheep, which she calls a Tamarack, the industry hascontinued to change. In 2010, NSIP signed a contractto have LambPlan analyze their data. Shortly afterthe NSIP/LambPlan agreement took place McNallysigned up to have her data compared to all the U.S.sheep in the NSIP pool.

“What joining the NSIP pool does is that it makesour numbers more meaningful to a potential buyer,”she said. “When they look at a rating number forgrowth, for example, they can take that number andcompare it to another flock. I feel it’s a better serviceto my buyers for them to know how we stand com-pared to the other flocks.”

McNally encourages others who are breeding seed-stock to use NSIP and LambPlan as one of the tools intheir herd improvement plan. “With 150 breeding ewesit’s costing me around $700 to $800 per year,” she said.

“If you’re selling seedstock your buyers should behappy to compensate you for that. With a strictlycommercial flock it’s a little harder to say whetheryou should use it or just buy rams where the tech-nology has been used.”

McNally encourages newcomers to the technology tomentor with an experienced BLUP user. It will helpensure data quality and the usefulness of their results.She said that owners of small flocks may be able to entera number of years’ data at one time when they enroll.

Quality and quantity of data help ensure that a breedercan move toward their improvement goals, she said.

At age 5, Jason Troendle’s fathergave him his first fishing pole and thetwo set out for a day on the banks.

He concentrated on his three-foot-long Snoopy fishing pole with match-ing Snoopy bobber and pulled in sun-fish after sunfish. Not liking to touchanything slimy, Troendle would havehis father take each fish off the lineand then bait his hook for his next bigcatch.

“The day my dad gave me my firstfishing pole, he epitomized lovethrough not just words and encour-agement but in his actions as hebaited my hook over and over and

removed everything Icaught,” he said. “As yearshave passed, I realize thatlesson of love taught me thatsharing love with those whosurround me is a deepresponsibility.”

When his first day of fish-ing came to an end, Troen-dle’s father told him that ifhe were going to fish in thefuture, he’d have to bait his own hookand remove his own fish. “It wasn’tlong before I learned that touchingworms and fish wasn’t horrible at all,”he said. “I have learned so much

through my love of fishing.“Love and learning. Fishing helped

to define two core values that wouldguide me through my journey of life.”

Troendle recently took another stepon his journey of life. As a conclusion tothe 84th National FFA Convention inIndianapolis, Troendle was electedNational FFA secretary for 2011-12.

Joining Troendle to serve as nationalFFA officers for 2011-12 are Ryan W.Best of New Mexico as National FFApresident, Kenneth D. Quick Jr. of NewYork as Eastern Region vice president,Alicia Hodnik of Wisconsin as CentralRegion vice president, Cain Thurmondof Georgia as Southern Region vicepresident and Seth Pratt of Idaho asWestern Region vice president.

Originally from St. Charles, Minn.,Troendle is currently a freshman atBethel University majoring in econom-ics and environmental studies. He isthe son of Fred and Sandra Troendleand a member of the St. Charles HighSchool FFA Chapter led by advisers

Craig Will and WillieLubahn.

“Through FFA and agricul-tural education, I have beenable to learn many things,”he said. “I’ve learned it isvital to set short- and long-term goals that can guide mewhere I want to go and whatI want to do. I’ve learned thatdoing the right things, being

committed to myself and others andtaking responsibility for my actions arethe only ways I will succeed.”

For the next year, Troendle and hisnational officer peers will be the faceand spirit of FFA. Collectively, they’lltravel more than 100,000 milesthroughout the country as they engagetop leaders in business, governmentand education and lead a host of per-sonal growth and leadership trainingseminars for FFA members.

The team will also help set policiesthat will shape the future of theNational FFA Organization and pro-mote agricultural literacy in general.

Shortly after my mom’sdeath, I felt scared and verylow. All day long I would goabout mourning as thePsalmist writes, “I ambowed down and broughtlow; all day long I go aboutmourning.” Psalm 38:6

My body began to shake,and try to bring me downwith a reminder “You arecarrying recent deaths inyour life; your mother, yourdad, your husband, yourmother-in-law, your two bachelorneighbors who farmed near our land.Both children, now married and movedaway, are also losses.”

I cannot keep my thoughts straight toexpress myself as I want to. I wondersometimes where God is, did He desertme? People don’t know what to say tome, so I feel deserted and alone some-times. Crying is difficult for me, eventhough it is a natural, cleansing, part

of mourning. Perhaps it is avital part of moving on fromgrief. How often have I beenunable to comfort friendsand relatives who weremourning? I know it is agood thing to be supportiveand hug those who aremourning, and have wordsof comfort for them. It seemsthat events in my own lifecrowd out my ability to be ofmuch help to others.

The Lord has blessed mewith loving people, mourners who havewalked a similar path, prayer warriors,friends, and especially Stan. While allof these have been very supportive, Iknow that much of what I am nowgoing through I must work through onmy own. My plan is to, with God’s help,go back and revisit the losses. Only thistime, to work through them, so that Ican find the peace I know God wantsme to have.

I have felt vulnerable over the years,but there seemed to be those ahead of meto be taken by death. Now I am in thegeneration soon to be taken. Am I afraid?Yes, I guess it is only natural to be afraidto die. We do have the promises of God tocomfort us as his children, but theunknown can be frightening. Perhapsthis is the ultimate test of our faith.

I was young and am now old, yet Ihave never seen the righteous forsaken,or their children begging for bread.

Psalm 37:25

I wonder if my children are ready toface the losses to come in their lives.

Wykoff Cemetery, Wykoff, Minn.

Sometimes a picture, a scene or even a statue can make everythingclick into place.

That’s what happened when Pat Jones Doering was traveling north onHighway 52 last year — and in this case, it was a statue of a soldier.

“After Charles passed, and I couldn’t decide what I wanted for a head-stone,” she said. “On that day, on the left, there was a statue of a soldierstanding there and it just clicked.”

She drove into the business but decided they wanted too much moneybut decided not to give up the quest since her husband of 14 years hadserved in the U.S. Army during 1966 and 1967 during the Vietnam War.Charles R. Doering died Nov. 26, 2008.

A statue would be perfect not only to honor her husband’s service to thecountry but also to all the 19 veterans resting at the Wykoff, Minn.,Cemetery, south onCounty Road 5.

Doering found a 1,300pound statue at SV & JLawn Ornaments onHighway 42 betweenPlainview and Kellogg.With the discount, itended up to be $1 perpound.

With the help of a fork-lift and her family, it wasloaded onto her pickup,only to be hauled aroundfor three days as sheneeded to talk to thecemetery board to makesure it would be OK tohave the statue placedat her husband’s grave.“My brothers Dennisand Bob (Voeltz ) got itall put up for me,” shesaid.

For some four years,Doering’s brother, Dennis has had a similar statue standing in his frontyard in Lanesboro, Minn., right across from the Lanesboro High School —and others have followed suit including a church or two throughout Fill-more County.

With all the detailing of the gun, the face, the boots and all the nuts andbolts, it looks so real, Doering said. She talked of a sealer that will beeventually applied to the statue.

Dennis served as a U.S. Marine at the tail end of the same war (1972 to1974). Another brother Richard served as a Marine for four years, from1962 to 1966, with a tour of duty in Vietnam from 1965 to 1966.

The statue is for all the veterans in the cemetery, she said. “With all therows of veterans behind it, look how the statue is like a sentry.” Thestatue has been manning its post since Oct. 17, 2010.

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.Woodford Ag
