Story on Page 20A

We didn’t know it back then but every-one on the big southern Illinois dairy farmof my youth was a foodie.

Of course there was no one namedBittman or Pollan or Waters to tell us wewere foodies but there were people namedMom and Grandma and Aunt Nina whosefood knocked your socks off despite theircracking a cookbook about as often asthey wrote one — which was never.

Most of the ingredients these professionalamateurs used in our breakfasts, dinnersand suppers came either from our farm andgarden or were purchased — hogs, peaches,roasting hens, eggs, apples and such — from neighborswithin 10 miles of our kitchen table. So, in almost per-fect ignorance, we ate farm-to-table, our farm to ourtable, for decades. We were foodies, indeed, and “loca-vores” to boot, long before anyone on the East or WestCoast cooked up either word or concept.

If you grew up on a farm or a ranch two or more gen-erations ago, you, too, were a foodie and locavorebecause, back then, rural food leaned more on homebutchering and canning than grocery getting and buy-ing. Eating local was more about what you had on-hand,

not what you carried home from town.Besides, most “store-bought” food (the

name our farm’s hired men gave all goodspurchased in town) back then involved a lotmore novelty — Oreos, Coca-Cola, FrootLoops — than nutrition. “Real” food, thepork loin in the basement freezer or themilk from that morning’s chores in therefrigerator, easily beat the “goodness” of theFrench fries from that new little buildingwith yellow arches on the state highway.

Today, novelty dominates Americanfood. Those yellow arches are now goldenarches and we are now a nation addicted

to sugar, fat and drive-through windows. Food ismere fuel, and we eat more of it in our family carthan at our family table.

For proof, look how we — you and me — have changedour food patterns in the last 40 or so years. (Links toresearch at http://farmandfoodfile.com/in-the-news/.)

• In 1960, according to U.S. Department of Agricul-ture data, we spent 26 cents of our food dollar onrestaurant meals; in 2013 it was 50 percent.

Farm matriarchs were original foodies

Once again area corn producers areinvited to any of several meetings inform-ing them of a potential multi-million-dollarlawsuit against Syngenta, a Switzerland-based major chemical and seed corn firm.

The contention being that Syngentastarted marketing a genetically modifiedcorn prior to its approval by China. Thisparticular corn was no problem with othernations buying U.S. corn, only China. Thataction supposedly resulted in a drop in U.S.corn prices and thus negatively impactedall corn producers. Losses to farmerswere estimated to be at least $1 billion.More than 50 lawsuits have been filed in11 major corn-growing states. And appar-ently various law firms across the nation are signingon as associated plaintiffs in this mega lawsuit involv-ing the U.S. corn industry. The corn involved is MIR-162, a genetically modified trait approved in 19 coun-tries and marketed with the label of Agrisure Viptera.

I am merely an observer. However I do questionthe legitimacy of inferring that the marketing of thisparticular corn back in May 2013 caused suchincredible turmoil to Chinese markets of U.S. corn ...and the alleged crashing of corn prices.

China is a small player in the U.S. corn export mar-ket. Based on 2013 U.S. Department of Agriculturedata, Japan is the biggest, buying about 30 percentof U.S. corn exports. After that it’s Mexico, Korea,Taiwan, Egypt and then China at only about 2.4 per-cent. Argentina and Brazil are also major providersin the world export corn market so those two coun-tries definitely impact world corn prices, too. Domes-tically the two biggest users of U.S. corn are ethanolat 40 percent and feed at 40 percent. What happens

in these two markets has a far greaterimpact on U.S. corn markets day by daythan any action by China? Even thoughthe media (and now apparently a covey oflaw firms) seem to think that Syngentatainted the Chinese market for U.S. corn.

China routinely does this sort of hanker-ing with potential sellers because theyknow there’s more than enough corn to goaround. Contrary to what some legal mindsseem to think when you’re playing com-modity games with China, markets can and

do come back with the flip of a switch.Unpredictable China is always unpre-dictable China. Just last month China

had a change of mind, and now this Syn-genta corn product is okay in its market.

But corn markets continue to languish. Why? We’vejust got too much corn on our hands. Nonetheless,several law firms apparently are thinking they mightas well try to get a piece of this action. Intriguing isthat Cargill and ADM also are talking litigationagainst Syngenta. Now you’re talking with the “bigboys” in this very competitive agricultural marketingworld. And if the legal world doesn’t already know,they soon will learn that corporate names don’t muchmean a damn to rank and file farmers anymore.

Upfront, signing on to this massive legal effortcosts nothing for corn farmers. All expenses are paidby the legal firms as part of a 60/40 contingency feewith 60 percent of the award money going to farmerssigned into this agreement. Stay tuned. This pro-posed action, if it ever gets the OK of U.S. FederalCourts, likely will have some long legs.

FARM & FOOD FILE

By Alan Guebert

GUEBERT, from pg. 2A• In 1950, the standard

soft-drink bottle contained6.5 ounces; in 1960 it grew to 12 ounces and, in the1990s, 20 ounces became the norm.

• In 1970, according to numbers in a 2011 articlepublished by Grist, the United States “churned out2,168 calories per day per person, 402 of which camefrom added sugar and 410 from added fat … or, com-bined, about 37 percent of the total.”

• In 2008, the United States produced 2,673 caloriesper day person (“…powerful evidence that [America’s]cheap food policy … succeeded …”) of which “addedfats and sugars [grew] to 459 and 641 calories, respec-tively, a 35 percent jump over the 1970 level …”

• In 2013, according to Harvard University, Ameri-cans spent “an estimated $190 billion treating obe-sity-related health conditions.”

• Also, in 2013, U.S. organic sales (which USDAdoes not track) totaled an estimated $35.1 billion, an11.5 percent increase from 2012 but still only 18.4percent of the amount we spent to treat obesity-related health problems that year.

What’s it all mean, fellow former foodies?According to that brief survey, most of us ate less

sugar and less fat when we ate more fresh, morelocal food at home 40 or 50 years ago than what webuy and eat (mostly) in town today.

Also, most of us were skinnier and healthier (as

were our parents when compared to us today) andall of us had more neighbors and more community— local banks, medical care, grocery and clothingstores and the like — than almost any of us haveanywhere in rural America today.

In short, we had it very, very good — despiteGrandma pushing the pickle beets and lima beansevery chance she got. Little wonder, then, that anew food culture, a foodie culture, is taking rootacross the United States now.

These folks just want to eat like we used to.The Farm and Food File is published weekly

As a state legislator rep-resenting rural Minnesota,I believe that it’s importantwe articulate a future for rural Minnesota thatincludes a place for small and medium-sized familyfarms. Indeed, I think a key to a vibrant rural Min-nesota is creating policies that support and encour-age more small and medium-sized family farmers.These operations are the types of small businessesthat spend money on Main Street and that can helpattract young people back to rural Minnesota.

That’s why I was disappointed to read about Sen.Julie Rosen, at a meeting of the Senate Rural TaskForce, contrasting a 320-acre diversified crop andlivestock farm with an 8,000-cow dairy saying,“That’s not real ag, this is.” Dismissing a farmbecause they graze or use other sustainable farmingpractices is wrong. Holding up an 8,000-cow mega-dairy as what it means to be “real ag” sends thewrong signal to the many people wanting to beginfarming and those already farming. To put this issuein perspective, according to the University of Min-nesota there are 3,808 dairy farms in our state andonly 76 (two percent) of them are even larger than500 cows.

Holding up the biggest of the big as “real ag” anddemeaning average-sized family farms won’t lead tofarm policies that move rural Minnesota forward.The fact is we need more farmers on the land, notfewer. We must measure success not on how many

cows or hogs we have in rural Minnesota, but howmany farmers we have raising cows and hogs.

There are some very tough issues facing new farm-ers, including not just the cost of land, but access toany land at all. I’m committed to finding answers tothe tough questions facing our farmers, includinghow best to support our existing dairy farm families,especially when we have low milk prices, and how weuse the growing demand for local, sustainably raisedfoods to put more farmers on the land. I think findinganswers to these questions and others like them iskey to creating a vibrant rural Minnesota.

I’m talking with farmers and farm groups nowabout what polices we can implement at the statelevel to best support them. I welcome you to contactme with any ideas you may have at (800) 920-5882.

This commentary was submitted by David Bly,Minnesota State Representative, District 20B. Bly is amember of the House Committees on Agriculture Pol-icy and Agriculture Finance. ❖

Commentary: Small, medium-sizedfamily farms are state’s ‘real ag’

To the Editor: Today’s farmer is far and few between, their lifestyle

is one of very little time for family, friends and vaca-tion. Farmers used to be together, standing proud, onevoice to share their livelihood with the world. Due tothe lifestyle that farming brings to the individual whochooses farming as a career, farmers are a dying breed.

These thoughts bring me to a recent public hearingin the Dodge County (Minn.) Courthouse, where ayoung man walked in to defend his career of choiceagainst a band of people who had already temporarilystopped his operation to help feed this country andsupport his family. In this hearing, the facts about thisoperation were supposed to be heard and discussed.

What actually happened was very different — theelderly man in charge of this band of people turned apublic hearing into a high school name-calling anddown-grading brawl. Did this man let time and agediminish his memories of where he started, when he,too, was a young man with livestock? Or was it theintruding uninvolved parties from the Cities whoraise a ruckus and then go home, turning neighboragainst neighbor? They lose no sleep as they parktheir car in their suburb garage, yet our young maninvolved in this story is up all night trying to figureout how to pay his bills.

There are already in place many regulations, per-mits, inspections and a whole heap of red tape toabide by to even try to own or raise a small herd oflivestock in Dodge County. Why this band of peopleneed to leave their offices to come to our small com-munity and get trouble started, only they know. Allthe regulations are in place to keep the communityand the county safe. If a young man or woman wantsto start a livestock operation and the county agreesthat they have met all regulations of that particularcounty and/or state, the community should commendthem for taking on such a career.

As for our city slicker troublemakers, what will youdo when there is no more pork, beef, chicken, milk oreggs in your grocery stores for you to feast on, ormaybe the prices are too high for even you to afford?Because you have forced all of our livestock growersto close and scared off the next generation, like ouryoung man in this story.

Fortunately in this story, our young man had hispublic hearing and they saw through the band of peo-ple opposing his operation; Dodge County granted theyoung man permission to continue with his livestockoperation and now he, too, can sleep at night.Heather SchwingleKasson, Minn.

To the Editor: The Land staff writer

Dick Hagen loves to usethe “S” word in his columns. Just recently, in hisDec. 19 “Land Minds” column he once again tossedout his favorite verbal red herring. He said Bill Wil-son, a fellow he follows, wrote, “We have become asocialist state in dire financial condition.” Hagenthen proceeded to write: “To which I agree; the fig-ures pure and simple tell the story of the growingtravails of this great country of ours.”

According to his column there are 158.3 millionpeople receiving some form of government benefit.As a Social Security recipient, Hagen said he’s one ofthe myriad socialists feeding at the government wal-low. By including Social Security payments as one ofthe socialist projects bringing our great nation to itsarthritic knees, Hagen and Wilson just smoke me.

I am not a socialist. I am a card-carrying SocialSecurity recipient and a libertarian, small-govern-ment-loving, petty capitalist. And over the last 50years I’ve contributed some tens-of-thousands ofdollars to my retirement insurance fund. That thefund is managed by the government, and not Hagen

and Wilson’s buddies at Merrill Lynch, Enron orsome other failed government welfare cash cow forcorporate capitalist crooks, is good by me.

Thanks to the efficiency of the Social Security Admin-istration, I’m drawing money from my retirement insur-ance account just like Hagen is. Retirement insurance

just isn’t socialism and as somebody who has workedhard for over a half a century to build up my account Iresent his repeated claim that it is. Hagen should behappy to know the truth — he’s not a socialist.Tim King Long Prairie

OPINION

To the Editor: I have to laugh when I read Dick Hagen’s nonsense.

He writes for a farm magazine. No other part of societywith the wealth of farmers has their hand out lookingfor more. He writes about extreme challenges. The tax-payers are paying the lion’s share of the cost to coverfarmers for nearly any kind of loss they could have.

Does he have any idea what is going on? Land thatwas worth $1,000 an acre not that long ago is nowbringing $10,000. If you are a carpenter and youhave a bad year, you’re on your own. If you have twoor three bad years as some did, you lost your house!These farmers he’s feeling sorry for have left forFlorida for the winter. Their five months of work isdone. Who else lives like that?

I had an uncle from Iowa who built a million dol-lars’ worth of buildings on his farm — free. The tax-payers paid for them at the time with 26.5-cent stor-age payments that were paid to farmers by thegovernment in order to store corn. Yep, those peopleworking for the Walton family need to get going inlife if they are going to pay for millionaire farmers’winter vacations and increase the Walton’s wealthfrom the 40 percent on the bottom end that theyalready equal their wealth.

Yes, it’s a shame we have people like Senator Eliz-abeth Warren who really do care about people, caus-ing rich people a little heartburn.Tommy StilesHenning, Minn.

CLIVE, Iowa — The Iowa Pork Producers Associ-ation will hold the 2015 Iowa Pork Congress on Jan.28 and 29 at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines.

The nation’s largest winter swine tradeshow andconference will be held in Hy-Vee Hall with show

hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Jan. 28 and 9 a.m. to 4p.m. on Jan. 29.

“The Iowa Pork Producers Association works hardevery year to present the best show possible and thefact that it draws from such a wide area of the Mid-

west is a testament to the quality of the show,” saidIPPA President Jamie Schmidt, a Garner hogfarmer. “You’d be hard pressed to find what the IowaPork Congress offers anywhere else.”

At least 281 different companies covering all facetsof the pork industry will be represented at thetradeshow in more than 530 booth spaces. Iowa’s sta-tus as the leading pork producing state in the U.S. isrecognized by companies worldwide and theexhibitor list includes many international firms thatmarket productsand services ofinterest to porkproducers. Severalcompanies will beintroducing newofferings to themarketplace dur-ing the show.

IPPA will welcome attendees to the Pork Informa-tion Plaza on the north tradeshow floor where guestscan visit with Iowa’s producer leaders and represen-tatives from the National Pork Board, National PorkProducers Council and other affiliated organiza-tions.

Damian Mason, known as “Agriculture’s Profes-sional Funny Man,” will deliver the keynote presen-tation on Jan. 28 at 2 p.m. He will call on his sharpwit and intelligent humor in discussing modern agtrends, challenges and what lies ahead in tellingfarming’s story. Mason, the owner-operator of a beef,grain and hay farm, has addressed more than 1,600audiences in all 50 states and eight foreign countries.

Attendees will be able to expand their pork produc-ing knowledge at any of the several business semi-nars that will be offered at Pork Congress. Sessionson Iowa regulations and nuisance cases, Porcine Epi-demic Diarrhea virus, pit foaming, economic fore-casts, policy and more will be facilitated by some ofthe industry’s best sources.

IPPA has made arrangements to show AcademyAward-winning filmmaker James Moll’s featurelength documentary “Farmland” on Jan. 29. The filmtakes viewers inside the world of farming and thelives of six young farmers and ranchers in their 20s.

Hog farmers also will be able to obtain or renewtheir Pork Quality Assurance Plus and TransportQuality Assurance certifications, and a certificationsession for confinement site manure applicators isbeing offered.

IPPA is excited to host its 7th annual Youth SwineJudging Contest on Jan. 29 at the Iowa State Fair-grounds. Future Farmers of America and 4-H mem-bers from across Iowa are expected to journey to DesMoines to learn more about pork production, com-pete for scholarships and attend the tradeshow.

“Despite the industry’s disease challenges, 2014has been a pretty good year for most everyone asso-ciated with pork and we hope that producers canattend the show and get 2015 off to a great start,”Schmidt said.

Uprooting an elderly loved one and moving theminto your home is difficult enough, but add to thatthe resistance you may receive, and the caregivingbecomes an all-encompassing activity. Your lovedone’s natural tendency is to resist care and assis-tance, if only because they do not want to think ofthemselves as old or frail.

Often caregivers will become easily angered andirritated at the thought of a loved one refusing careand this conflict can be very damaging to the entirecaregiver-care recipient experience. Understandingthe stress and loss of independence your loved onefaces when they give up their home is the first stepin easing the tense situation.

Here are a few other ideas that may be helpful ifyou are experiencing any resistance in your dailycaregiving.

• Allow the loved one to have a part in the deci-sion making process surrounding their care andwell-being. Do not let them feel they have no part intheir future, and allow them the chance to voice

their view about the care they would like to receive.• The older adult may want to start a fight or bring

up past actions that occurred, but remain focused onthe matter of their care, and do not take part and sayanything you may regret later.

• Remember to think of your own needs, and setlimits in the amount of work you’re willing to takeon. Perhaps you provide the in-home care for them,but are unwilling to bathe them, yet your loved onerefuses to allow a home-care aide to assist you.Explaining your feelings to your relative and beinghonest with what you’re willing to help with canallow you the control of the situation.

• Be willing to work with the older adult in orderto find some kind of agreement. Whether they refusefull-time care and you disagree entirely, consideralternatives such as a weekly visit from a healthaide and Meals on Wheels service that may ease ten-sion and be agreed upon by both of you.

See CAREGIVING, pg. 14A

As the new year is born, today’s farmwife is not satisfied with the same old res-olutions made every year for us by weight-loss and wrinkle cream companies. Shewants to fill the self-improvement tankwith her own list that makes a lot moresense to her everyday life.

This year she promises not to howl whenshe brings supper to the field expectingsix or seven to feed, and finding more thana dozen hungry faces around her car. Shemay still panic and apologize for smallerportions, but she will resolve to cover it upby saying she wants everyone to try outthat whole Blue Zone thing. Then she will promptlyignore the looks she gets because those looks reallybelong to someone who should have told her howmany people she would be feeding.

She resolves to work on knowing all of the fieldnames when she delivers meals, manpower or equip-ment to said fields. She also will work on knowingwhere the field driveways are at night so the neigh-bors don’t think she’s a year-round nipper of theeggnog.

She promises not to swear out loud as she mendsthe pliers pockets of her husband’s blue jeans andinsulated coveralls. Oh, she’ll be swearing all right— she just resolves to do that under her breath thisyear. Resolving to keep it in perspective, it would bean even worse scenario if the pliers showed up miss-

ing someday because of an unrepaired hole, resultingin a marriage that also needs repairing. Those pliersare irreplaceable, you know.

She promises to try to understand her fault in itwhen the sheep or goats get into the garden. Badfences — or no fences — around the garden are justasking for trouble on a sheep and goat farm. Adam inthe Garden of Eden eventually realized he shouldnot have eaten the forbidden fruit from the Tree ofKnowledge. Sooner or later, the sheep and goats alsoeat the forbidden fruit — except they don’t knowanything more afterwards than they did before.

Pity.She promises to be grateful as she sweeps up the

hundred-thousandth pile of corn/soybeans/oats off ofthe basement floor. It means there was adequaterain and sunshine, and able-bodied people to help getit from the fields and into the house. I mean the bins.

She will remember, because of past experiences, towear a more heavy-duty kind of over-the-shoulder

unmentionable when she runs the disk ripper in thefall. Those bumpy fields are not for the weak ofspine nor the more generously endowed of thefemale persuasion. The right kind of support couldsave her from a lifetime of double vision.

She resolves to look at the enormous laundry pile(and the manure smells emanating from it) withpatience and understanding. After all, there aremany who have never been blessed with family tocreate such a wonderful consumer of time, waterand laundry soap.

She will remember that caring about weather andmarkets will do more for her marriage than thelocal beautician ever could. Beauty is fleeting —and the weather and markets often make sure thathappens. If you both get the same worry lines, whoreally cares about them?

She will resolve to take better care of her husbandby suggesting more firmly that he go to a doctorwhen necessary, then see to it that he extracts him-self from the farm to go to an appointment. Thefarm wife runs many errands, but since his teethand other samples they need are inside of him,there is only so much she can do about running thaterrand for him.

Finally, she resolves to stop making promises.Once when she did that she ended up having towash manure-laden clothing and deal with the mar-kets for the rest of her life.

Dang, that fine print.Karen Schwaller brings “Table Talk” to The Land

from her home near Milford, Iowa. She can bereached at [email protected]. ❖

CAREGIVING, from pg. 12A• Realize that they are more than likely not going

to be happy about the situation, and focus on main-taining the quality of care. They may not look forwardto having someone bathe them and cook for them, butyou can see a difference in their care and let the sen-ior in time grow accustomed to the change.

• Do not make the situation entirely about them,instead allow them to see it through your eyes to getan idea the work you put forth. Tell them the stressand workload you face and their understanding andwillingness to resist you in the future may be less-ened. They will look at it as an opportunity to helpyou in the process of them receiving the aid.

• Work up to changing your loved one’s life and donot suddenly start changing everything they havegrown accustomed to over the years. Alert them toany fears you may have, prepare them for anychanges, and be as calm and positive as possible toreassure them it is for the best.

• Plan ahead in case of a sudden decline in healthor hospitalization, because it is at these momentswhere you may face little resistance and can altertheir daily care in the manner you see appropriate.

You are the ruler of the roost.Your nest is feathered just the way

you want it, you’ve got a little nest egg,nobody’s henpecking you, you’re thecock of the walk at home, and now thatyou’re an empty-nester, you do whatyou want. Life is good.

And if anybody calls you a big chicken,you might want to thank them. See whyin “Why Did the Chicken Cross theWorld?” by Andrew Lawler.

Take every dog, cat, pig and cow onearth today, add in all the rats andwhat would you have? A big mess,that’s for sure, but that assemblage would still palein comparison to the worlds’ birds — and thatincludes some 20 billion chickens.

“... the chicken,” says Lawler, “is universal ...”So how did that happen? How did an ancient, wily

jungle fowl become common in barnyard, breakfast,and boasting?

The short answer is that scientists don’t exactlyknow. They’re not even sure which came first: thebird to us or us to the bird. They do know that thechicken crossed the world because “we took it withus” a long time ago but, though it can trace its ances-try back to the dinosaurs, the remains of ancientchicken dinners are rare.

Chickens can come in many shapes, sizes, and col-ors: You can get a palm-sized pet pullet or a giganticmonster-chicken to ruffle the neighbors’ feathers.Gallus Gallus Domesticus is on all continents (exceptAntarctica, where they’re banned) and in all coun-tries (except Vatican City, where there’s no place tokeep them). Wherever they’ve gone, they’ve adaptedquite well — so much so that scientists found chick-ens near Chernobyl that are able to shake off

radioactive toxicity.We, of course, eat chicken before it’s

born and after it’s dead. We use it inmedical treatments, fertilizer, crafts,and religion. We made the chickeninto an epithet, a riddle, a mania in bothLondon and America, and livestock that onceensured egg money for slave and housewife alike.

And its future? Well, let’s just say it could be out ofthis world ...

It may seem hard to believe but author AndrewLawler says that there are people today who’ve neverseen a chicken outside of a grocery store or restau-rant. This book may make them want to change allthat.

Indeed, “Why Did the Chicken Cross the World?” isa whole flock of fun. Lawler mixes science and his-tory with a good amount of barnyard peeks to showthat the lowly fowl is not so foul; in fact, researchershave proven that chickens are no dumb clucks.

Lawler also takes us on a trip to seewhere the bird has gone, then he inves-

tigates where it’s going by visitinglarge corporate processors. Thatmakes for a well-rounded, informa-tive, and highly enjoyable book.

Definitely, farmers and backyardcoopers will like this book and ifyou’re an animal lover or a bigchicken, you’ll want to bring it hometo roost. For you, “Why Did theChicken Cross the World?” is a bookyou’ll crow about.

Want more egg-selent books likethis? Then look for “ExtraordinaryGoats” by Janet Hurst, Dennis Pernu,Darwin Holstrom, Brad Kessler, Eliza-beth Noll and Steve Roth. It’s an easy-to-read, fun, sidebar-filled book about

goats in history, mythology, folklore, farms, and reli-gion. Bonus: pictures. Lots of ’em!

Also look for “The Call of the Farm” by RochelleBilow, the story of a woman who got “hooked” on aday in the life of a farm — so much so, that she leftbehind her big-city life in order to be a country girlfor a year. What she found, well ... read the book.

Look for the reviewed book at a bookstore or alibrary near you. You may also find the book atonline book retailers.

As 2014 came to a close, land valueshad stabilized from the double digitincreases of the past few years,according to Farmers National Com-pany, the nation’s leading farm andranch real estate company. Locationand quality of land continue to bemain drivers of prices for a given tractof land. The lower supply of land forsale and the continued demand foragricultural land is maintaining gen-eral stability of the land market.

“While lower grade land has seendrops in value near 15 percent fromrecent highs, top quality crop andgrazing land still bring solid prices asowner operators and investors seek toexpand their operations with the

most productive land,” said RandyDickhut, FNC vice president of realestate operations.

According to FNC, the supply of landfor sale is less than in the past few yearsas there is no tax policy change drivingsales and landowners remain tight hold-ers of the asset. “Land is viewed as along term asset and owners consideragricultural land a stable investment ina changing world,” said Dickhut.

Demand for cropland and grazingland from owner operators remainsgood, but buyers are being more realis-tic in what they will pay given lowergrain prices. Sellers are having to berealistic in evaluating the quality oftheir land and the expected selling

price in order to have a successful sale.Despite leveling or moderately

decreasing land values overall, FNChas seen strong prices paid for specificproperties within the last 60 daysbased on local competition and thedesire for quality. According to Dick-hut, farmland seldom comes up forsale in many locations, therefore localproducers are willing to pay top dollarto grow their operation and asset base.

Recent value adjustments in the landmarket still leave land values at histor-ically high levels in the longer termview. Price softening is happening, butat different rates depending on theregion, prices for major commodities inthat region, and quality of the land.Profitability from record crop incomessupported by insurance coverage, haskept farm operations in the black andproducers interested in adding land.

“Buyers are being more realistic whenconsidering land purchases which hasreduced the fervor of rapidly escalating

prices seen at land auctions in recentyears,” said Dickhut. “Owner operatorscontinue to be the main purchasers ofagricultural land comprising nearly 90percent of buyers in many areas.”

Investors are showing up in the mar-ket to purchase land, but are alsobeing realistic in the timing of theirpurchases and the long term outlookfor agricultural land.

Profitability in recent years has leftmany farm owners cash rich and opt-ing for land purchases for personal andbusiness investments. The tangibilityof land and the ability to grow theiroperation makes land a preferredinvestment for the owner operator.Producers are being more realisticwith their land purchases as they givemore attention to the economics of theasset and seek increased financing.

By TIM KING The Land Correspondent

MADISON, Minn. — Farm research in Min-nesota and research done at the University of Man-itoba at Winnipeg show that chopped alfalfa mulchcan be a source of nitrogen and other nutrients forcrops such as corn, barley, and wheat.

Carmen Fernholz, an organic farmer near here, nolonger has a livestock enterprise on his farm andthus has no on-farm produced manure to providenitrogen. He normally purchases manure from hisneighbor but four years ago he decided to see whatwould happen if he put some of the alfalfa that heraised back into the soil on his farm.

“In our current agricultural climate, many organicand conventional producers have operations with-out livestock,” Fernholz said. “Alfalfa is grown for itssoil-building attributes. However, when the alfalfais harvested as hay and sold off the farm, nutrientsessential to plant growth are also exported in thehay.”

In 2010, Fernholz received a two-year demonstra-tion grant from the Minnesota Department of Agri-culture’s Energy and Sustainable Agriculture Pro-gram. His idea was to see what kind of a nitrogenboost corn and barley ground would receive if heapplied hay mulch to the field.

“If the project is successful, it will go a long way inalleviating the growing issue of low fertility on myfarm,” Fernholz wrote in his grant application. “Thealfalfa mulch should also improve weed manage-

ment and enhance soil structure. On-farm produc-tion of fertility should reduce input costs andincrease income by allowing me to maintain my cer-tified organic status.”

“The concern that I had prior to establishing aworking relation with my neighbor on his livestockmanure was that I was exporting significantamounts of Phosphorous and potash off of the farmwhen selling the alfalfa as a cash crop instead ofbeing able to feed it to livestock,” he said recently.

In late August of 2010, following a winter wheatharvest, he used a side delivery hay processor toshred one ton round bales of alfalfa into a mulch. Ananalysis of the alfalfa when it was applied showedthat the mulch treatment provided 465 pounds ofnitrogen per acre.

Fernholz describes the layer of mulch as “reason-

ably even.” He incorporated the mulch with a chiselplow and in the spring planted barley.

Fernholz did get a boost in fertility and yields byapplying alfalfa mulch. In addition to the full rate ofapplication he also did a plot with half that quantityof mulch and another plot without any mulch. Inter-estingly, the half rate mulch plots saw the biggestboost in available nitrogen and phosphorouswhereas the full rate plots saw the largest increasein potassium.

“Due to a narrow window for harvest, no yield datawere collected from the barley plots in 2011,” Fern-holz said.

“However, visual differences in the plots were eas-ily observed prior to harvest. The full rate mulchplots were darker green, had fuller grain heads, andplants were fully six inches taller than the controlplots. The half rate mulch plots were visibly differentfrom both the full rate plots and the controls in bothheight and density.”

In 2011, following the barley harvest, Fernholzrepeated the alfalfa mulch application in the samemanner. He planted corn in the plots in 2012. It wasa dry year so corn yields were down somewhat. Theoverall field average was 141 bushels per acre.

“Yields were significantly higher where the mulchhad been applied,” he said. “The half rate and fullrate mulch yielded 149 and 153 bushels per acre,respectively.”

Alfalfa mulch shows potential as nitrogen source

ALFALFA, from pg. 18AUniversity research

Matthew Wiens, formerly of the Depart-ment of Plant Science at the University ofManitoba at Winnipeg, conducted a simi-lar project in 2001 and 2002.

“A strip farming system may be thebest way to deliver alfalfa mulch toorganic grain crops,” Wiens wrote in thepublication for the Organic AgricultureCentre of Canada in 2003.

“Alfalfa could be grown in strips acrossa field for three years to maximize itssoil-building benefits. Annual cropswould be grown between the alfalfastrips, to receive mulch harvested fromthe alfalfa strips. After three years, thealfalfa strips would be rotated with the cropped strips.Whether this system is feasible depends, in part, onhow the mulch affects the annual crops.”

Wiens established alfalfa strips between wheatstrips and then applied green chopped alfalfa inthree sets of plots at three different rates of applica-tion. Like Fernholz, he also had a control plot withno mulch. Plots were established at four of the Uni-versity of Manitoba’s research stations.

“N uptake and wheat yields increased as mulchapplication rates increased,” Wiens wrote. “Wheatreceiving the 2x mulch rates at both the early andlate application timings produced yields almosttwice that of the control (31.8 vs. 16.5 bushels peracre), equivalent to yields produced with 36 and 54pounds per acre of inorganic N fertilizer.”

Wiens noted that a light alfalfa mulch actuallystimulated weed germination whereas the heaviermulching rates seemed to depress weed germinationbut not wheat germination.

“If practical methods of field-scale application canbe developed, using alfalfa as mulch will be anavenue for "straight-grain" organic farmers toincrease alfalfa acreage in order to capture its soilbuilding benefits,” Wiens wrote.Farm decisions

Fernholz, who did have a field-scale applicationmethod, chose not to adapt the mulch-for-N systemafter his grant expired. He feels that the approachhas potential but that a system to apply the mulchmore evenly needs to be developed. He also believesthat the time required to harvest and apply thenitrogen-as-alfalfa is too great. Finally, with highalfalfa prices, the nitrogen obtained was fairlyexpensive.

“One can estimate that there are about 55 to 60pounds of nitrogen in a good ton of alfalfa,” he said.“As a result we are looking at lots of dry alfalfa tomeet the nitrogen needs. One can use green chopalfalfa which is much higher in protein but then theissue becomes all of the time, effort and equipmentnecessary to accomplish it. We need to address theoverall cost,” he said.

Researchers in the University of Minnesota’sAgronomy and Soil Science Departments have con-tinued the work Fernholz began on alfalfa mulch asa source of nitrogen. They did not respond torequests for information about their research. ❖

Organic farmingfocus of three-dayevent in La Crosse

University of Minnesota Extension

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

OLIVIA, Minn. — Ed Baum-gartner, 54-year-old president of3MG North, the Olivia-based seedfirm with the mission to reintro-duce new non-genetically modifiedcorn hybrids, is bucking the trend.Most seed companies have spentmillions over the past decade intro-ducing new GMO hybrids.

“My tendency is to go the oppositedirection of what everyone else isdoing. So if everyone was workingon trans-genes, we figured the non-GMO market was a good place andthat’s why we keep our focus on non-GMO, conven-tional breeding,” said Baumgartner.

Without disclosing customers, Baumgartner saidhis firm had 14 hybrids produced this season byvarious seed companies for sale into the 2015 grow-

ing season. And he hopes that mighttriple for the 2016 growing season.

“We think we’re on the vergewithin the next two years of signifi-cantly improving our presence inthe marketplace,” said Baumgart-ner.

The timing of 3MG (3rd Mille-nium Genetics) appears to beremarkable. Crashing commodityprices combined with expensivebiotech hybrids are creating agrowing interest in non-GMOhybrids. Conventional seed costsabout $100 less per bag (80,000

kernels).After 10 years of developing and launching new

conventional corn lines, Baumgartner said this trendis also consumer-driven.

“Whether we believe GMO traits in the food chain

are harmful or not is almost immaterial from our pointof view. Today it’s about consumer choice and if non-GMO foodstuffs are where they are heading, we wantto be able to provide just that,” he said.Field testing

Baumgartner operates a 900-acre research stationin Puerto Rico which permits up to three cycles oftesting observations per year. He employs upwardsof 300 local people who are trained to work with tem-perate crops.

“We are now approaching 30 crop cycles and areinto our third generation of breeding work onselected material,” said Baumgartner.

His firm also conducts grow-outs of hybrid poten-tials on a 40-acre research plot at his mother’s Oliviaarea farm and runs summer testing in North Dakotaand South Dakota.

“We collect different strains of corn from all overthe globe. Some corns native to the tropics have

NON-GMO, from pg. 20Asome interesting characteristics.We’re putting together good mate-rial on insect tolerance, heat toler-ance and building on grain quality,”said Baumgartner.

3MG is noting genetic toleranceto fall armyworm and corn earworm in some of their breedingmaterial. He pointed out that though European cornborer is still a pest, it’s not nearly as yield devastat-ing as armyworm, ear worm and Western bean cut-worm can be. His firm provides inbred materials forselected herbicide programs for non-GMO corns.

Baumgartner’sambition that3MG and theseed companies itservices will havesignificantamounts of non-GMO seed for the2016 crop year.

“If consumer demand for non-GMO foods contin-ues, the seed industry is capable of very sizeableincreases in seed production very rapidly,” predictedBaumgartner.

Baumgartner is aware of resistance in the seedindustry to maintain their biotech products whichhas been their moneymaker for several seasons.

Baumgartner makes occasional travels to Europeand notes that European nations are more tuned into the “healthy food” status of non-GMO grains.

“I don’t see any reversal of their acceptance ofGMO seeds any time soon. The policymakers maywant to change but the people won’t go for it,” saidBaumgartner.

Baumgartner smiled at the thought of what anideal corn plant will look like 10 years from now.

“If we find that ideal corn plant, I’m out of a job.I’ve been working towards that ‘ideal’ corn plant forover 30 years now. I visualize lower populationsrather than this continual trend of higher popula-tions. At this lower population, the ideal plant willput on larger ears or multiple ears in a variety ofmoisture and temperature environments. This new

corn will exhibit better fertilizer efficiency. That’s allpart of the strategy in building a sustainable cropeconomy,” said Baumgartner.

His logic is to improve the capacity of the factoryrather than putting more factories in the same space.

While pursuing the ideal corn plant is rewarding,Baumgartner’s greatest satisfaction comes fromsharing his accomplishments with his family. He

works with his wife, Deb, daughters Raechel andRebekah, and his mother.

“We’ve now worked enough crop cycles so we’rebeginning to see products from our nursery andtesting program evolving into usage within the seedindustry,” said Baumgartner.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Seven hundredand ninety-five Minnesota farmers andforest landowners have successfully re-enrolled in the Conservation Steward-ship Program for another five-yearperiod. The program provides opportu-nities for farmers who are alreadyestablished conservation stewards,helping them improve water quality,soil health and wildlife habitat.

“The strong interest in farmers re-enrolling in the program for anotherfive years comes as no surprise asthese were the first participants toenroll in the program back in 2010,”Minnesota National Resources Conser-vation Service Acting State Conserva-tionist Walter Albarran said.

For many farmers, CSP offers rewardand recognition for the conservation theyare already doing, plus a little extra incen-tive to try a few more or new practices.The average annual payment for re-enrollment in the program was $13,107per contract. Over $10.4 million in pay-ments will be made to those farm familieslater this year, and over $520 million overthe course of their five-year contracts.Apply now for 2015

Farmers interested in getting startedwith CSP may apply now for contractsbeginning in 2015. Applications will be

accepted at the NRCS office in USDAService Centers throughout Minnesota.

CSP was reauthorized in the 2014 farmbill, and is a voluntary program thatoffers payments to producers who exer-cise good land stewardship and agree tofurther improve their conservation per-formance. CSP is available to all produc-ers regardless of operation size, type,crops produced, or geographic location.

Total crop and pasture land acresenrolled in Minnesota to date is2,687,710 plus 11,237 acres of wood-land (non-industrial private forest-land) in 3947 active contracts. Averagepayment rates for contracts obligatedduring the last enrollment period were$21.20 per acre for cropland, $13.80per acre for pasture, and $5.13 per acrefor woodland. Payments are madeannually for each of the five years ofthe contract. CSP is open to small andlarge operations, with farms alreadyenrolled ranging from just a couple ofacres to over 7,400 acres of cropland.

What will happen to your farm when you die andhow your family will handle the farm in the event ofincapacity or death is not a pleasant thought, but it’sa reality that needs to be faced — before either eventhappens.

Attorney Scott Miller compares farm successionplans to puzzles and Miller, anexpert in tax law and estate plan-ning, is confident that his firm isvery good at putting all the piecestogether.

“The biggest problem withoutplanning is, in all likelihood, there’sgoing to be excess tax owed by thefamily and a lot of conflict, becauseyou will run into what’s in it forme? Nobody knows what the rules are,” said Miller.

Miller, managing and founding attorney of MillerLegal Strategic Planning Centers, with offices inTyler, Dawson and Rochester, Minn., has dedicatedhis firm to estate planning and 95 percent of thoseestates include farm succession plans.

“The legacy that allclients have whenthey’re gone is theirfamily. Nobody remem-bers how much taxesyou saved; all theyremember is the fam-ily,” said Miller. “Let’sfigure out all thehuman elements firstto make sure thisworks. And then wewill add in the taxes. Ifthe kids hate eachother, then it isn’t agood plan.”

The average age forestate planning is 50 tomid-70s. The kids areoften pushing theirparents to get theiraffairs in order, saidMiller.

“They need to start planning when they are emo-tionally ready to do it,” said Miller.

At Miller Legal, all clients begin by completing apersonal information form prior to the first meeting.The form is a very detailed balance sheet. Miller tellshis clients to think about their goals for their farmand family.

“We want them to think about in a perfect world, ifthey die today, what would they want to happen,”said Miller.

For many clients, the balance sheet is their FIN-PACK, a credit analysis software tool used by farm-ers and bankers. Many clients print their mostrecent FINPACK balance sheet for the meeting.Once clients identify their goals and provide a bal-ance sheet, the work is on Miller’s desk now.

“It’s the expert that should solve the problem,” said

Miller. “We engineer plans.”Nitty Gritty

In the event of incapacity and death, farmers needa plan that will transition the farm to their childrenwho farm and provide equitable settlements for the

children that do not farm. Plans are engineered tomeet Mom and Dad’s objectives first, and second tokeep family harmony, explained Miller.

Let’s figure outall the humanelements firstto make surethis works.And then wewill add in thetaxes. If thekids hate eachother, then itisn’t a goodplan.

— Scott Miller

PLANNING, from pg. 23A“To create a good succession plan to meet all goals,

it has to be customized,” said Miller.“Not every plan is the same — they have similar

issues, but they are so varied from one operation toanother,” said Miller. “They both may have trusts,but those trusts are designed very differently.”

Revocable living trusts are used 100 percent ofthe time and serve as the foundational estate plan-ning document, said Miller. Revocable trusts ensurethe estate will be kept out of probate.

In the event of incapacity, Miller looks at how thefarm can continue. He addresses land rental rates,equipment, agriculture buildings, upkeep, mainte-nance, seed inventory, debt and many more details.In the event of death, the succession plan outlineshow the farm and assets will be transferred. For

instance, is the equipment given or sold to the farm-ing son or daughter?

“There are usually concessions given to that kidwho stayed home to farm. Other than the last fiveyears, farming has been hard to sell at full value,”said Miller. “So much of the income is in the form ofequity.”

Miller advises that the farming son or daughterreceives the main building site and that co-owner-ship is not part of the equation.

“That farming kid needs to control that particularparcel. Should he or she want to expand, the non-farming kids will wonder what’s in it for me,” saidMiller.

Attorneys also protect the farm’s assets from unin-tended beneficiaries. Miller offered this example: adaughter is divorced from her husband. If the daugh-ter dies, the farm’s assets would go to her husbandand not her children. The plan needs to state thatthe assets will go to the grandchildren.

“We spend a lot of time in our planning to makesure assets get to the people you want them to getto,” said Miller.

Miller also looks closely at debt. The plan willdefine how the debt will be paid and in the event aparent enters a nursing home, the plan will definehow that bill will be paid as well.

One of the biggest issues in farm succession plansis land. That’s where option agreements come in toplay. These agreements can have a variety of termsto make the plan economically realistic for the non-

farming and the farming children, said Miller.For instance, the son or daughter who doesn’t farm

may have the first right of refusal to the land by sell-ing it to the sibling who farms. The price can be setat a percentage of the appraised value, but instead ofa cash sale, a contract for deed may be required,explained Miller.

Parents can even require that a non-farming sib-ling rent the land to the farming sibling. Then Millerwill draft a rental agreement that will stand the testof time by building in inflation and deflation.Telling the kids

Kids should not be involved in the planningprocess until the parents want them to be involved.

“We recommend that parents do the planningwithout the kids and tell them this is what we didand why we did it,” said Miller.

However, some farm succession plans are designedas an ongoing transition to their child or children asthe parents retire from the daily farm business.

“The hardest part is that as moms and dads, weare wired to please our kids. If the kids only careabout themselves, you can’t please all of them,” saidMiller.

Oftentimes, Miller will lead the meeting when hisclients inform their children of the plan. As an inde-pendent, unbiased party, Miller can best explain theterms of the plan.Maintaining your plan

“Your plan is not a one and done. It’s getting it com-pleted and then maintaining it. It’s just like a com-bine — you just don’t go out and buy it; you have tomaintain it, too,” said Miller.

Miller recommends at the very minimum to updateyour plan every three years. Laws change, as do cir-cumstances. Some clients see Miller every year.

“The plan you have at 44 may not be the same asthe plan you’ll have at 54. That’s where maintenancehelps to keep it on target because the target is mov-ing, your assets are changing,” said Miller.

Many farm operators, ag lenders andfarm business managers are now in theprocess of cash flow planning for the 2015crop year. At the same time, farm opera-tors are currently finalizing decisions forthe various options available in the newfarm program at local Farm ServiceAgency offices. The farm program choiceswill be in place for five years, for the2014-2018 crop years. Producers mustfinalize their farm program option deci-sion by March 31. Decisions on base acrereallocation and updating FSA paymentyields must be completed by Feb. 27 atFSA offices, and do require alandowner signature.

All potential payments in the various options of thenew farm program are based on the 12-month “mar-ket year average” price for a given crop. The 12-month marketing year for corn and soybeans beginson Sept. 1 in the year that a crop is harvested, andcontinues until Aug. 31 the following year. The 12-month MYA price for that crop year is then finalizedby Sept. 30 the following year. For wheat, oats, bar-ley, and small grain crops, the 12-month marketingyear begins on June 1 in the year of harvest, andcontinues until May 31 the following year, with theMYA price finalized by June 30.

As a result of the MYA calculations, any potentialfarm program payments, regardless of the farm pro-gram option that is selected, are not made untilOctober in the year following crop production. So,any potential payments for the 2014 crop year willnot occur until October 2015, and potential pay-ments for the 2015 crop year will not occur untilOctober 2016, etc. From a cash flow standpoint, thismeans that any estimated farm program paymentsfrom the previous year will need to be shown as an

accounts receivable on the Jan. 1 balancesheet, and as a payment received in Octo-ber of the following year.

Those currently involved in doing cashflow planning are currently wonderingwhat amount if any can be included in acash flow projection for estimated farmprogram payments from the 2014 cornand soybean crop, and possibly for the2015 crop year. There are many variablesthat factor in to the calculation of poten-tial farm program payments; however, byknowing a few of the basics, a person can

make a reasonable estimate of poten-tial payments for 2014, as well aspossibly for 2015.

Following are some key things a person needs toknow for farm program payment estimates:

• What is the number of base acres for each eligi-ble crop?

Potential payments for all farm program optionsare based on crop base acres, and the payment poten-tial varies considerably among the various crops.

• What is the payment yield ?The Price Loss Coverage program uses either the

established counter-cyclical yields or the updatedFSA payment yields. Ag Risk Coverage-County usesthe olympic average of the county average yield forthe past five years (2009-2013) for 2014 crop year asa benchmark yield. Ag Risk Coverage-Individualuses farm-level yields.

There is a big variation in the calcu-lation methods for each farm programoption, as well as in the potential farmprogram payment levels with eachoption in a given year.Cash flow considerations

PLC — The PLC program is theprice only farm program option, andpayments are only made when the 12-month MYA price falls below theestablished reference prices for agiven crop. The reference price for2014-18 for corn is $3.70 per bushel,and is $8.40 per bushel for soybeans.All potential PLC payments are madeon 85 percent (0.85) of eligible cropbase acres, and payments can occureven if that crop was not raised in aparticular year. PLC payments percrop base acre are calculated as fol-lows: Estimated PLC payment percrop base acre = payment yield xestimated payment rate x 0.85

ARC-CO — The ARC-CO programis based on actual county crop revenue(yield and price) for each crop in agiven year, which is compared to aver-age benchmark county crop revenuefor each crop, in order to determinepotential ARC-CO program paymentsfor each crop for that year. Benchmarkrevenues for each crop will be deter-mined by multiplying the olympicaverage county-level yield times theaverage MYA price for the most recentfive years The olympic average dropsthe highest and lowest yields andprices during the five year period, and

averages the other three. The countybenchmark yields, five-year averageMYA prices, and benchmark revenuesare adjusted each year.

The ARC-CO program guarantee fora given crop is 86 percent of the calcu-lated county benchmark revenue forthat year. ARC-CO payments for a

given crop will occur when the actualcounty revenue (county yield x MYAprice) for the year falls below theannual county revenue guarantee forthat crop. The maximum ARC-CO pay-ments are 10 percent of the countybenchmark revenue per acre for a crop.ARC-CO payments will be paid on 85percent of eligible crop base acres for agiven crop, and payments can occur foran eligible crop even if that crop wasnot raised in a particular year.

2014 benchmark prices for the ARC-CO program are $5.29 per bushel forcorn and $12.27 per bushel for soy-beans, which will also likely be theARC-CO benchmark prices for the

Additonal notes:• ARC-CO payment estimates assume final County average yield is same as benchmark yield. • If final Countyyields increase, payment estimates may be lowered, and if County yields decrease, payment estimated may behigher (if below the maximum). • Payment factor for both ARC-CO and PLC payments is 85 percent (0.85) ofbase acres. • Listed payments per base acre are estimates, and are not exact payment amounts.

THIESSE, from pg. 26A2015 crop year. Iffuture crop pricesremain at current lev-els or lower, the ARC-CO benchmark prices for cornand soybeans are likely to decline significantly in2016, 2017 and 2018.

ARC-IC — The ARC-IC program must include alleligible farm program crops on a FSA farm unit(s),with no option for either the PLC or ARC-CO pro-grams on specific crops. The ARC-IC program oper-ates very similar to the ARC-CO program, but isbased on farm-level crop yields, rather than countyaverage yields. The ARC-IC program combines thefive-year weighted revenue (actual farm yields xMYA) for the previous five years for all crops on FSAfarm units in a given state that are enrolled in ARC-IC, in order to calculate benchmark revenue for ARC-IC, rather than the crop-specific approach used inthe ARC-CO program. The weighting for the ARC-ICprogram is on the basis of the percentage of plantedcrop acres on the FSA farm units in the productionyear.

Potential ARC-IC payments are made on crop baseacres, and the maximum payment is 10 percent ofthe weighted benchmark revenue for the farm,rather than the crop specific method in the ARC-COprogram. Potential payments in the ARC-IC programare made on only 65 percent of crop base acres, ascompared to 85 percent of base acres with the ARC-CO program. Individual crops must be planted eachyear in order for that crop to be considered for ARC-IC calculations for a given year, which different fromthe PLC or ARC-CO program options.

Expected 2014 farm payments All potential farm program payments for the 2014

crop year for the PLC, ARC-CO, and ARC-IC pro-grams will be based on the 12-month 2014 MYAprice from Sept. 1, 2014, through Aug. 31, 2015. Thepotential ARC-CO and ARC-IC program paymentswill also be impacted, respectively, by the final levelof 2014 county and farm-level yields. Following is ananalysis of potential farm program payments for the2014 crop year:

PLC — Based on the most recent U.S. Departmentof Agriculture Supply and Demand Report, USDA isestimating the 2014 MYA price at $3.65 per bushelfor corn, and $10.20 per bushel for soybeans. Basedon these price levels, there would be a $.05 perbushel payment for corn, and no payment for soy-beans for the 2014 crop year. Based on the currentmarket trends, it would appear that we may get avery small 2014 PLC payment for corn, if any, and noPLC payment for soybeans.

ARC-CO — Based on the $3.65 per bushel price2014 MYA price estimate for corn, most producers inthe ARC-CO program will receive the maximumARC-CO payment level for 2014 (approx. $50-$80per corn base acre in most Minnesota counties). Ifthe 2014 MYA price ends at $4 per bushel or lower,producers will likely receive the maximum ARC-CO

This column was written for the mar-keting week ending Jan. 9.

There was more hope for a turnaroundin the international dairy market thisweek as the Global Dairy Trade auctionstarted 2015 on an up note. On Jan. 6,the weighted average for all productsjumped 3.6 percent, following a 2.4 per-cent gain in the Dec. 16 event. All of theproducts offered were up.

The uptick was led by butter, up 13.2percent, following a 10.4 percent boost inthe Dec. 16 event. Next was buttermilkpowder, up 10.5 percent, following a9.5 percent drop the last time. Anhy-drous milkfat was up 6.8 percent, fol-lowing a 10.8 percent gain last time. It was followedby rennet casein, up 4.2 percent, after a 4.5 percentgain last time. Cheddar cheese followed, up 3.2 per-cent, after it inched 0.6 percent lower last time.Skim milk power was up 2.8 percent, after a 3.2 per-cent drop last time, and whole milk powder broughtup the rear, up 1.6 percent, following a rise of 1.4percent last time.

FC Stone reports the average GDT butter priceequated to about $1.6141 per pound U.S. dollars, upfrom $1.4264 in the Dec. 16 event. Contrast that toChicago Mercantile Exchange butter which closed

Friday at $1.54 per pound. The GDT Ched-dar cheese average was $1.4015 per poundU.S. dollars, up from $1.3615. The U.S.block Cheddar CME price closed Friday at$1.59 per pound. GDT skim milk powder,at $1.0821 per pound U.S. dollars, was upfrom $1.0521, and the whole milk powderaverage at $1.0464 per pound U.S. dollars,was up from $1.0298 in the last event. TheCME Grade A nonfat dry milk price closedFriday at 98.75 cents per pound.

The Daily Dairy Report points out that“There is growing concern aboutOceania milk output falling at theend of the season as hot, dry weather

conditions continue to spread. Withthe 2012-13 drought still lingering in the minds ofbuyers, weather concerns and low prices could besparking purchases as insurance against what couldlie ahead.”

The U.S. Dairy Export Council reported in its latestGlobal Dairy Market Outlook that U.S. exportersfocused on the Western Hemisphere in November,helping to offset a continued slowdown in shipmentsto Asia. It reports that exports to Mexico were up 15percent from last year and shipments to SouthAmerica topped $30 million for the first time, led bygains in sales to Peru, Brazil and Colombia. Sales tothe Caribbean were the most in 18 months.

Exports to Southeast Asia and China were the low-est since early 2013 and shipments to the MiddleEast/North Africa region were down 66 percent.

In all, exporters shipped 147,879 tons of milk pow-ders, cheese, butterfat, whey and lactose in Novem-ber, down 7 percent from a year ago but down justone percent from October (on a daily-average basis).

THIESSE, from pg. 27Apayment amount, with 2014 county average yieldlevels that are at or below the county benchmarkyield. If the final MYA price level is between $4-$4.50 per bushel, ARC-CO payments would stilloccur, but at a gradually reduced basis. Therewould be very limited corn ARC-CO paymentslikely at MYA prices beyond $4.50 per bushel. If2014 county yields are above the benchmark aver-age yield, the price thresholds for ARC-CO pay-ments would be reduced slightly.

Based on the $10.20 per bushel price 2014 MYAprice estimate for soybeans, most producers in theARC-CO program will receive a partial ARC-COpayment level for 2014 (about $8-$5 per soybeanbase acre in most Minnesota counties). If the 2014MYA price ends at $9.30 per bushel or lower, produc-ers will likely receive the maximum ARC-CO pay-ment amount, with 2014 county average yield levelsthat are at or below the county benchmark yield.There would be very limited corn ARC-CO paymentslikely at MYA prices beyond $10.50 per bushel.

ARC-IC — These payment calculations are harderto estimate because they involve farm averageyields, and are based on annual planted acres; how-ever, ARC-IC payments do utilize the same MYAprices as the other programs. A good estimate forARC-IC payments is to take the ARC-CO paymentestimates at the same yield level and to reduce themby 25 percent, and then to prorate the ARC-IC pay-ments based on the percentage of planted acres in agiven year. The 25 percent reduction is due to theARC-IC payments only being made on 65 percent ofcrop base acres, rather than on 85 percent.

MIELKE MARKETWEEKLY

MARKETING

See MIELKE, pg. 29A

MIELKE, from pg. 28ATotal exports were valued at $500.5

million in November, down 14 percentfrom last year and about the same asOctober (daily-average). That broughtyear-to-date U.S. sales to $6.63 billion,up 9 percent versus 2013.

■

The National Milk Producers Federa-tion, U.S. Dairy Export Council andInternational Dairy Foods Associationjoined other food and agriculturalorganizations in support of additionalchanges in U.S. policy to facilitate U.S.dairy exports to Cuba and permit opentravel for all Americans to that nation.The dairy organizations are membersof the U.S. Agriculture Coalition forCuba, a coalition of more than 30 tradeassociations and companies champi-oning an end to the U.S. embargoagainst Cuba.

The dairy groups say one of thebiggest impediments to trade is thelack of financing to allow for paymentin a manner that it is commerciallyviable. They stressed the importance ofpolicy changes that would removecostly and unnecessary burdens on U.S.agricultural exporters by allowing pay-ment to pass from Cuba directly to U.S.banks in place of the current require-ment that payments be routed throughbanks in other countries.

NMPF’s Jim Mulhern urged membersof Congress to seek changes in policythat would remove travel restrictions

and reform financingrules for U.S. food prod-ucts destined for Cuba.

“NMPF believes that unilateral U.S.government actions should not hinderU.S. dairy exporters from selling theirproducts to any nation,” said Mulhern.“We look forward to expanding our abil-ity to more easily provide the Cubanpeople and those Americans wishing totravel to Cuba with the nutritious andsafe foods that we produce in suchabundance here in the U.S.”

USDEC’s Tom Suber said, “The U.S.has been forced to largely cede thisneighboring market to our competitors.Cuba has been importing approxi-mately $200 million worth of dairyproducts in recent years, but virtuallynone of that has come from ourexporters due to the restrictions theyface in trading with Cuba.”

You’ll recall that November 2014milk production totaled 15.5 billionpounds, according to preliminary data,up 3.5 percent from a year ago. U.S.Department of Agriculture’s DairyProducts report issued Jan. 6 showswhere it went and one place the extramilk didn’t go was the churn. Novem-ber butter output, at 136 millionpounds, was down 5.7 percent fromOctober and 4.7 percent below Novem-ber 2013.

A good share of it hit the dryer. Non-fat dry milk production totaled 151

million pounds, up 11.5percent from October

and up 48.9 percentfrom a year ago. Milk also flowed to thecheese vat. Italian production hit 410million pounds, down 3.7 percent fromOctober but was up 5.1 percent from ayear ago. American cheese output hit372 million pounds, down 2.9 percentfrom October but 4.5 percent above ayear ago. Total cheese output amountedto 949 million pounds, down 3.3 per-cent from October but 2.9 percentabove that of a year ago.

HighGround Dairy’s Eric Meyerviews the data as neutral for butterand bearish for the rest. He reportsthat butter production did show a 4.3million pound downward revision forOctober and November marking thefourth consecutive month runningbehind prior year levels. But with thechatter of cream availability in Decem-ber, the lack of export sales and whatappeared to be a normal drawdown instocks from the Cold Storage reportlast month, “we do not believe there isanything to get worried about with sig-

nificant upside risk on butter prices”That said Global Dairy Trade results

this week has butter priced in the low$1.60s per pound so there may be sup-port from dairy buyers that want toown product and build inventory atbelow average levels. It does not meanthere has been a change in the bearishtrend, according to Meyer.

Cheese production remained solidand inventories were strong inNovember signaling that current spotprices are fair. But there is nothing inthis report’s data that would suggest asharp move higher or lower fromtoday’s levels. However, after thelosses posted in December and duringthe first few days of 2015, it would notsurprise us to see last minute SuperBowl orders or end-users buildinginventory to cause a slight bounce inCME spot prices, Meyer said.

TheCheddar barrels finished at $1.5450,up a half-cent on the week and 61.50cents below a year ago when theyjumped 24 cents.

The laggingNational Dairy Products Sales ReportU.S. average block price hit $1.6111,down 2.3 cents, while the barrels aver-aged $1.5672, down 2.2 cents.

Dairy Market News says “With theholiday season over, Midwest cheese-makers are cautiously looking for-ward, wary of getting too far over thetips of their skis, but aware of the vol-ume of milk flowing behind themwhich must be reckoned with.”

The current situationis unusual for earlyJanuary. Milk volumeavailable to cheese remains unusuallyhigh. Cheese production is ahead oforders for many plants, due to higherthan typical milk production for Janu-ary. This week some milk spot loads inthe Midwest moved at $6-$6.50 belowclass, keeping cheese production veryhigh in many plants. Sales are mixed.

Dairy prices have fallen significantlyfrom record highs in September butholiday demand has prevented a cata-strophic freefall. We looked at the lat-est commercial disappearance datawith the Dairy and Food Market Ana-lyst’s Matt Gould in Friday’s Dairy-Line. I asked if there a silver lining oris it aluminum foil?

“I think we’ll have to go with the alu-

minum foil,” Gould replied and hebegan by detailing butter. Looking atthe three month numbers from Novem-ber backward, Gould reported butterdemand was down 15.5 percent from ayear ago, after trailing 16.7 percent inOctober. He said demand has fallenaway as retailers passed on the higherprices and butter exports were notmuch of a factor.

Looking at nonfat dry milk, Gouldstated that commercial disappearancewas up seven percent in November andthe fourth month in a row it was abovefive percent however, that’s not keepingup with the growth in nonfat produc-tion and American cheese has seen asimilar situation. It was up just 0.3 per-cent in November far from the 3.5 per-cent growth in American cheese output.

When asked about imports affectingthis scenario, Gould answered, “That’swhy there isn’t a silver lining.”

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondent Richard SiemersDutch treat

Do you have a Back Roads story suggestion? E-mail [email protected] or write to Editor, The Land, P.O. Box 3169, Mankato, MN 56002.

“Dutch treat” is a phrase often used topolitely suggest that everybody pays theirown bill when they eat out. In northwest

Iowa, home to many descendants of settlers from theNetherlands, the phrase has a much sweeter conno-tation.

One good example of that is a visit to Casey’s Bak-ery in Sioux Center. Now located in the Centre Mall,the bakery originated in downtown Sioux Center in1946. Casey and Ann De Groot opened the bakeryspecializing in some traditional Dutchrecipes. To this they added a tried and trueformula: Make everything from scratch + Usehigh quality ingredients = Satisfied cus-tomers that keep coming back.

Four of their popular Dutch items areAlmond Patties (a traditional Dutch puff pas-try filled with almond paste), Spice WindmillCookies (made with a cookie press), Rusk Buns(used for open face sandwiches), and RaisinBuns. There are other Dutch cookies and cakes

and anise candy, too.Glenda Mulder, head barista, said travelers often

stop to take home foods that they remember fromchildhood. And as if Casey’s didn’t offer enough oftheir own Dutch baked treats, they also haveimported Dutch foods and baking mixes, as well asDelft china.

A third generation of the De Groot family is nowinvolved in the management of a business that justkeeps growing. Their Centre Mall location has a

Kaffee Huis (coffee bar), deliand dining room in addi-

tion to the bakery andgift shop. The Baker’s

Pantry offers kitchen

tools. Their store fronts in this indoor mall have atraditional Dutch look, so you can pick up a bakerytreat, add a drink from the Kaffee Huis, sit at a tablein front of the store, and imagine you are lunchingon an Amsterdam street.

While Casey’s is a good place to sample a Dutchbaked treat, this is a full-line bakery with breads, cook-ies, decorated cakes, and other sweets. Mulder saidtheir highest volume item is the good old Americanhamburger bun, and their delivery trucks supply otherretailers in northwest Iowa and into South Dakota.

If you are heading to or through Sioux Center, it’sworth a stop. The Centre Mall is along Highway 75.Visit www.caseysbakery.com to learn more aboutCasey’s. ❖

Grain AnglesMarketing as risk

managementJust over three months ago commodity prices hit

lows not seen in years. Some advisers were suggest-ing producers hold onto corn and soybeans becausebetter prices were to come. Today corn futures are60 to 70 cents a bushel higher than March futureswere on Oct. 1, 2014.

We are definitely experiencing“better” corn prices, but have wemade any additional sales sinceOctober? Or do we simply keepmoving our targets up or down asmarkets continually fluctuate?This is one dilemma that many, ifnot most, producers face when awritten marketing plan is notcreated and executed.

If I sell 2014 or 2015 corn near $4today, do I want the market to goup or down? This question is diffi-cult for many, but it doesn’t have tobe. If I sell and the market declines I may feel greatabout my last sale, but what about the remainder ofmy production? Likewise if the market goes up after Isell, do I have additional bushels I can sell at an incre-mental profit? No matter how you look at it, it’s impor-tant to think of grain marketing as risk management.

How can I reduce my risk throughout the market-ing year and remain comfortable with my decisions?For example, if you do not have any of your 2015crop marketed today, you are likely under the opin-ion that prices will go up.

The next question is a challenging one: Are youwilling to bet 100 percent of your 2015 productionon that higher-priced assumption? If you decide thatmaybe you are only 70 percent sure prices will

Grain OutlookMoney flow amarket factor

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing Jan. 9.

CORN — Everyone was back in their offices thisweek as attention turned to the Jan. 12 U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture reports,which will include the final cropreport for 2014-15 and grainstocks as of Dec. 1. Money flowinto the market was also a factorin early- and late-week strength.Funds bought an estimated10,000 corn contracts to begin andclose out the week to manage aslightly higher close for the week.

Informa Economics’ updatedestimate for 2014-15 plantedcorn acreage was the same as thelast USDA number at 90.9 mil-lion acres, but they adjusted har-vested acres to 83.5 million acres, up from USDA’s83.1 million acres.

For yield, Informa pegged it at 172.7 bushels per acreversus USDA’s 173.4 bu./acre. This put production at14.425 billion bushels, 18 million bushels higher thanUSDA’s December figure. Their carryout forecast for2014-15 is 2.041 billion bushels compared to theDecember USDA forecast of 1.998 billion bushels.

The USDA has shown corn production increases onthe January report in seven of the last 11 years.Informa’s projections for the 2015-16 crop year are 88.0million planted acres, 165.9 bu./acre, production 13.393billion bushels and carryout of 1.744 billion bushels.

Weekly export inspections this week were 21.2 mil-lion bushels; down nearly three million bushels from

Livestock AnglesCattle skyrocket

to open 2015Well the livestock markets started off the new year

with some its own fireworks, especially in the cattlemarket. It seems the volatility that has been presentas of late will continue in the livestock markets. Thestruggle of supply versus demand is still an impor-tant factor in weeks ahead.

The best word to describe thecattle market is “explosive.” Thefirst week of January saw the cashmarket act extremely strong, withcattle trading as high as $172 —$4 higher than the previous week.At the same time the beef cutoutmade a very good advance, withthe boxed beef movement improv-ing from a lackluster holiday trade.

While these advances were takingplace, the futures market advancedinto previous resistance well belowthe current trade in the cash market. After strugglingfor several days at this resistance level, the futuresbegan to see some liquidation that drove the futuressharply lower. By Friday the market had come undersevere pressure finishing with limit losses in the nearbymonths. This put the futures contracts extremely dis-count to the latest cash prices at that point.

Several factors were noticed to create such a selloff. It appeared that funds were liquidating theirrecent long positions, and margin call selling ensuedas traders just wanted to vacate their long positions.The other factor ever-present is the fact that thefutures market is always anticipating the next moveinstead of the current market.

It would appear that some in the trade are afraidthat demand has at least equalized with the tight

NYSTROM, from pg. 1Bthe previous week and below estimates for 26.6 to31.5 million bushels. Approximately 34.7 millionbushels need to be shipped each week to hit theUSDA export forecast of 1.75 billion bushels. Ship-ments are running one percent behind last year andsales are 3 percent behind last year when theUSDA is projecting exports to be down 9 percentyear on year. On the export sales side, weeklyexport sales were 15.3 million bushels, a marketingyear low. We need sales of 21.3 million bushels perweek to hit the 1.75 billion bushel USDA exportforecast. Total sales commitments are 61 percent ofthe USDA prediction.

South Korea was a buyer of nearly 400,000 metrictons of U.S. and optional origin corn this week.There was trade chatter this week of Chinese inter-est in U.S. dried distillers grains, but this timeexporters are reportedly requiring a 25-35 percentdown payment to cover the risk of getting rejectedat delivery.

Weekly ethanol production fell 23,000 barrels perday to 949,000 barrels per day. Stocks at 18.5 mil-lion barrels are the highest since March 2013. Withthe price of gasoline and diesel at five-year lows,alternative fuel margins are taking a hit.

China auctioned five million metric tons of govern-ment-owned reserves this week, but only 1.79 mmtwere sold. Due to the poor participation, China maydelay issuing corn import allocations as they revisetheir reserve program. Conab increased their Brazil-ian corn production estimate to 79.1 mmt comparedto their December forecast of 78.7 mmt. The lastUSDA forecast was a 75.0 mmt Brazilian corn crop.

Average corn estimates for the Jan. 12 reports:stocks as of Dec. 1, 11.123 billion bushels versus10.453 billion last year; 2014-15 ending stocks 1.927billion bushels versus 1.998 billion on the Decemberreport; 2014-15 production 14.349 billion versus14.407 billion on the November balance sheet; yield173.3 bu./acre versus 173.4 bu./acre in November;harvested acres 82.765 million acres versus 83.097million on the last estimate; world stocks 191.19mmt versus 192.20 mmt on the December report;Brazilian production of 74.66 mmt versus 75.0 mmtlast month; Argentine production 22.49 mmt versus22.0 mmt in December.

OUTLOOK: The January crop report has given usbig moves in each of the last six years, ranging from22 to 54 cents, three years with a move higher (two ofthe last three years) and three years with a movelower. March corn’s recent range is $3.92 to $4.17 perbushel. For the week, March corn rallied 4 1⁄2 cents toclose at $4.00 1⁄4 per bushel and the December con-tract closed 2 cents higher at $4.21 1⁄2 per bushel. Thereport will provide direction for the next week. Thedaily trading limit for corn is 25 cents per bushel.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans saw a huge early weekgain inspired by a 233 tmt sale to China (plusanother 123 tmt for old crop and 120 tmt for newcrop announced on Tuesday), fund buying and talk ofareas of either too wet or too dry in Brazil. Someoneneeds to tell the Brazilian farmer though; he was abig seller of soybeans this week that pushed theirbasis levels lower. The sharp early-week rally was asurprise with no one single outstanding fundamen-tal reason behind the surge higher.

Conab raised their Brazilian bean production late inthe week to a record 95.9 mmt versus their previous

estimate of 95.8 mmt. The USDA is carrying them at94 mmt. Conab is pegging their soybean exports at49.6 mmt, while the USDA has them at 46.4 mmt. IfConab’s numbers are realized, U.S. exports would beexpected to see a sharp decrease in the last half of themarketing year. The Brazilian farmer is estimated tohave priced just 31 percent of their soybean crop ver-sus 43 percent last year, but selling was said to havepicked up this week. As for USDA’s Brazilian Januaryto final production forecasts, in four of the last eightyears it has risen, while the Argentine number hasbeen cut in each of the last four years.

Informa Economics updated their 2014-15 cropnumbers, their new bean production estimate is3.969 billion bushels, up 11 million bushels from theDecember USDA forecast. Informa’s yield was 47.6bu./acre versus USDA’s 47.5 bu./acre. They made nochanges to USDA’s acreage numbers. The Informa2014-15 carryout forecast is 333 million bushelscompared to the latest USDA 410 million bushel pro-jections. Informa’s 2015-16 balance sheet is as fol-lows: planted acreage of 88.8 million acres, yield of45.0 bu./acre production at 3.959 billion bushels andending stocks of 511 million bushels.

Export inspections were decent at 51.7 millionbushels compared to the 17.3 million bushels neededeach week to achieve the USDA export forecast of1.76 billion bushels of exports. Weekly export saleswere a five-week high at 33.5 million bushels. Salesare running 6 percent ahead of last year. The USDAis predicting a 7 percent increase in exports year onyear. Total export commitments are at 85 percent ofthe USDA forecast. We only need to average 5.6 mil-lion bushels per week in sales to achieve the USDA’s1.76 billion bushels export projection. China’s beanimports are estimated at 5.4 mmt for January com-pared to 7.3 mmt in December, according to the Chi-nese Ministry of Commerce.

Average soybean estimates for the Jan. 12 reports:stocks as of Dec. 1, 2.59 billion bushels versus 2.154billion last year; 2014-15 ending stocks 393 millionbushels versus 410 million on the December report;harvested acres 83.044 million acres versus 83.403million in November; yield 47.6 bu./acre versus 47.5bu./acre on the November balance sheet; production3.956 billion bushels versus 3.958 billion in Novem-ber; world stocks of 89.35 mmt versus 89.87 mmtlast month; Brazilian production 94.6 mmt versus94.0 mmt last month; Argentine production at 55.45mmt compared to 55.0 mmt in December. On sevenof the last nine January crop reports, U.S. soybeanproduction has shown an increase.

OUTLOOK: Unless the Jan. 12 report is bullish forsoybeans, a revisit to the December low of $9.91 perbushel may be expected. Interesting note, specula-tors have begun 2015 with their biggest net shortfutures and options position for this time of year inover 10 years. For the week, March soybeans jumped44 3⁄4 cents higher to settle at $10.52 1⁄4 per bushel.The new crop November contract closed at $10.19 1⁄2per bushel, up 26 1⁄4 cents. March soybean mealclimbed $8.70 per ton higher and bean oil rallied1.59 points. The daily trading limit for soybeans is 70cents per bushel. In the past six years on the day ofJanuary reports, March soybeans have closed highertwice and lower four times. ❖

TEALE, from pg. 1Bsupply of cattle and may further suffer as competitivemeat prices continue to drop. Regardless, it now wouldappear the cattle market may have made a major topback in the month of October. Therefore, producersshould become more cognizant of market conditionsand be prudent about protecting inventories.

On the other hand, the hog market almost seemsbenign in comparison. Cash prices have continuedtheir descent as the new year got under way andhave not yet ceased. The outlook continues to show afair amount of hogs; however the price decline hasslowed which may indicate there is increasing inter-

est by packers in acquiring inventory since their mar-gins are positive. The supply-demand scenario is justthe opposite for the hogs to the cattle. The supply ismore than adequate to meet the demand for pork.

One major problem for the demand for pork is theexport market in recent months. The strength in theU.S. dollar has slowed foreign buyers as the dollar hasincreased in value. However domestic demand has heldfairly well and could increase in the months aheadsince, from a value standpoint, pork is a good value incomparison to competitive meats. Producers shouldremain current and keep a watchful eye on market con-ditions and protect inventories as needed. ❖

LENSING, from pg. 1Bincrease, it may be reasonable to consider how youwill reduce or eliminate price risk on the other 30 per-cent of your production. Selling in increments willhelp mitigate risks. If you sell at current prices it maybe wise to hope that it is the worst sale you make.

Regardless of your opinion on the market direc-tion, most marketing professionals would advocatefor not only writing down a marketing plan, but alsoactually executing upon it. We have seen $1.20 rally

in soybean futures and 70-cent rally in corn futuresin the past few months. Will you “reward” the marketrally we’ve seen? If not now, at what price level willyou make your next sale, and what percentage ofconfidence do you have in achieving that goal?

The year 2014 will likely godown in history as one of thebest years for Minnesota dairy farm-ers, particularly for those who grewtheir own feed, according to Jim Salfer,University of Minnesota Extensiondairy specialist.

“We’ve had rather excellent milkprices,” he said. “Feed prices moderateda lot during the year.”

Looking at milk futures he’s predict-ing 2015 to be anaverage year.

“It might not feellike an averageyear after comingoff such a reallygood year as 2014,”Salfer said. “Butmilk prices looklike they’ll be inthe $16.50 to$17.50 brackethere in Minnesota.The national allmilk price is fore-cast at about $18for next year(2015).”

Just how good was 2014? Salfer saidmilk hit a record $22 to $23 per hun-dredweight price range even though itfell off significantly in November andDecember.

Exports contributed to the strongprices of 2014. Currently 15-18 percentof U.S. dairy production is exported,with China being the key sales driver.Since February, U.S. milk prices havebeen above the world market.

“When you’re above the world mar-ket the market goes to other sources tobuy their dairy products,” said Salfer.“We’ve got to get our pricing back inline because we can’t absorb that addi-

tional 15 percent into ourdomestic markets.”Dairy popularity

In view of obesity and otherhealth issues making waves inthe media, dairy products areenjoying a tremendousreawakening by the public.

“Right now dairy productsare sort of in vogue,” said Salfer. “Todaysaturated fats aren’t bad for you …that’s virtually an entirely newthought process. Also butter consump-tion is the highest it’s been for severaldecades. You’ve got Greek yogurt thathas really taken off. So dairy productsare shining.”

Salfer credits new research on obe-sity trends thatdisproves fat andsaturated fat asthe culprit.

“New data com-ing out shows car-bohydrates andrefined carbohy-drates are more ofa factor,” he said,“especially withconsumption ofthese foods goingup significantly. Sothere seems to be ageneral consensusthat our dairy

products that contain some fat aren’tgoing to kill you.”

Organic foods, especially organicmilk and dairy products, are on the riseas well.

“The demand for organic dairy prod-ucts continues to go up faster than con-ventional dairy products. And thisdemand is mostly for fluid milk pluswhat’s called grazing butter — mean-ing from grass-fed dairy cows,” Salfersaid.Production

Dairy cow numbers are staying rela-tively flat in Minnesota, but nationallythere is some increase.

Salfer to dairy farmers: Expect an ‘average’ 2015

“We’ve got to getour pricing backin line ...”


Waterbeds are coming back — notfor people, for cows. Dairy farmerswere talking about cow waterbedsat the Minnesota Dairy Expo in St.Cloud. Mark Misch, Midwest salesrepresentative for Dual ChamberWaterbeds, explained what’s so spe-cial about waterbeds for cows.

“Cows get a custom fit every time they lay down,”said Misch, who works out of DCC Waterbeds inReedsburg, Wis.

The water contained in each bed surrounds each ani-mal so a cow’s hocks aren’t sawing back and forth whichtends to happen when cows are laying on a flat surface.It’s on par with sand bedding without the continuousreplenishing that’s needed with sand, said Misch.

In 1999, Dean Throndsen, CEO of Advanced Com-fort Technology brought waterbeds for cows fromEurope to the North American dairy industry. Thelarge single bladder filled with water had potential,but Throndsen saw flaws in the design. In 2003, hepatented the dual chamber cow waterbed. Twochambers provides additional stability and comfort

for the knees and hocks.And this added comfort apparently adds to a cow’s

life. Misch showed data involving 100 fourth lacta-tion cows on waterbeds with about six percentimproved longevity.

“So you’d have six less cows to replace versus sandor flat mats,” said Misch.

DCC Waterbeds are sold with 10-year warrantiesbut Misch said the company’s waterbeds are 20years old in some Wisconsin barns.

“We’ve got hundreds of thousands of waterbeds outin over 30 countries around the world. Holland is ahuge market. So to is Taiwan, Indonesia, NewZealand ... wherever there are sizeable numbers ofdairy cattle,” he said.

A DCC Waterbed costs about $250 to $300 per cowdepending upon the installation. For example, a tiestall barn might be slightly higher because therewould be more posts to cut around and more totaltime doing the job.

Upon order, shipment and installation can begin inabout a week. DCC Waterbeds keeps an inventory of5,000 waterbeds on hand at their Mondovi, Wis., ware-house so beds could be shipped within a week withinstall starting just as soon as a crew is available.

“We like to have one of our installers go out and getthat farmer properly started. After that most farmerscan handle this job. They would need the special fillmeter from a local dealer. This device measures theright amount of water for each bladder,” he explained.

Cow waterbeds are not relegated to large dairy herds.Misch knows of Amish farmers in the Marshfield, Wis.,area putting in just three beds. They liked the results.

“They started installing 10 at a time until they hadtheir 70-cow barn totally equipped. I have a dealer inthat area who now has installed over 700 beds andmost of his customers are Amish farmers.

“We’re in the process of waterbeds for a 4,500-cowoperation in South Dakota. We’ve got an 800-waterbed barn in western Minnesota; a 1,200-bedinstall near Green Bay. So it’s been a good year. Obvi-ously stronger milk prices are spurring the adoptionof waterbeds,” said Misch.

Misch also recommends some sawdust or strawsprinkled over the waterbeds, but not sand; sandwould be abrasive.

“I suggest about a gallon of sawdust or straw orbean stubble on each waterbed,” said Misch.

SALFER, from pg. 3B“Perhaps the primary reason cow numbers stay

down is because cull cow prices are so high,” saidSalfer. “It they have any issues with particular cows,dairy farmers are moving them to market ratherquickly these days. And that may help temper some ofthese price drops in milk. It’s easy to sell a cow whenshe’s worth $1,500.”

Cheaper feed prices and more aggressive culling isalso slightly boosting milk productivity per cow.

Robotic systems arestill only on a smallpercentage of dairiesin Minnesota.

“I don’t have anexact figure. I’m say-ing 50 to 70 Min-nesota farms are nowrobotic but with 4,000dairy farms in thestate, it’s still a smallpercentage,” Salfersaid.

“But there continuesto be a tremendousamount of interest ingoing robotic, by botholder dairy farmersthinking they can coaxa few more years outof their own bodiesand by younger‘wanna-bes’ thinkingthis might be an eas-ier way to get into thismilk production busi-ness.”

Grabbing somerecent headlines is theannouncement of an8,000-cow dairy in

Kandiyohi County. This will be a business adjunct ofthe 20,000-cow River View Dairy southwest of Morris,Minn.

“They are a very good dairy business,” said Salfer.“Their dairy facilities gleam with cleanliness; they’regreat with neighbor relations; their stewardship isexemplary. I think they’ve been a role model of envi-ronmental cohesiveness. Their concerns about how towork with neighbors sets the stage for all of us. Theylisten to the concerns of neighbors’ and they addressthose concerns accordingly. They just do a great job.”

Despite a few of these “biggies” on the Minnesotalandscape, according to 2013 Minnesota AgriculturalStatistics, the Gopher State still ranks sixth nation-ally in number of milk cows. In order, the top fivestates are California, Wisconsin, New York, Idaho andPennsylvania. ❖

Duane and Louise Holker of Litch-field, Minn., are a bit unusual in theagricultural world. They’ve moved ninetimes since their start as dairy farm-ers. When a dairy farmer moves it’s notjust tractors and field implements butalso cows, calves and milking equip-ment.

“My dad sold his cows when I was inthe 8th grade,” said Duane.

But there were still four heifers onDuane’s family farm in Beardsley,Minn., on the South Dakota border.

“My dad said to me ‘If you want to bea dairy farmer, you can start with thosefour heifers.’ So I started milking fourcows when I was a freshman in highschool. By the time I graduated in 1980my herd was up to 18 cows.”

Vocational agriculture wasn’t avail-able, but there was a nice looking farmgal two miles north.

“I decided to start dating her. Webecame high school sweethearts andhave been together ever since,” saidDuane.

Louise hadn’t exactly been dreamingof marrying a dairy farmer.

“No, I didn’t. I wanted to marry afarmer. It was okay if he had cows butat that time I was scared of dairy cows.I soon got over that,” said Louise.

Duane and Louise married in 1981.Their second move was to a nearby

farm Duane’s dad had purchased fromhis mother.

“And again Dad said to me, ‘If youwant to get a start on your own, youcan move to that farm, fix that barn upand expand some more,’” said Duane.

He and his dad did some fixing. Theyset up that old barn to handle 40 cows.That was one year after graduatingfrom high school.

“So we were milking 40 cows on whatwas originally my father’s home farm.We were there from 1980 to 1995 andexpanded that farm up to 75 cows,”said Duane.

During that 15-year span, dairyingwasn’t exactly profitable; $10 milk wasfairly common but $12 milk did happenoccasionally. Making a buck wasn’t easy.

“Things were pretty tough. Still lotsof work needed to be done to that farm.We put more concrete down. We had tobuild a feed storage facility. We were

sort of struggling along,” said Duane.Expansion

A life-changing bit of advice from theHolkers’ local Land O’ Lakes advisorchanged all that. He told Duane that ifhe wanted to get anywhere in thisdairy industry he had to invest in alarger dairy business. That’s when hemet Greg Jans, dairy farmer at GroveCity, Minn.

“Louise and I made an agreementwith Greg and Nickie Jans to put ourdairy cows into his brand new facility.We moved our cows there in September1995. That was about a 100 mile movefor our herd and family,” said Duane.

Business in the third location workedout “fairly well,” said Duane.

“It was a drive-through six-row freestall barn with 200 free stalls and adouble-6 milking parlor which wasexpandable to a double-12. We had agreat deal of success. But we were fill-ing up with heifers so fast that we wererunning out of space,” he said.

Cow numbers were up to 270. Theywere on a 3X milking schedule. Theywere doing 26,000-plus pounds of milkper cow. It became obvious that thefacility would have to be expanded. ButDuane and Louise were having secondthoughts.

Instead they decided to venture out ontheir own again in move number four. InJune 1998, they found a farm to rentnear Paynesville, Minn.; signed a three-year lease; the barn built in 1970 had adouble-six parlor with pit underneath.

“It was decent, but we had some upsand downs with the facility. The stallswere a little small and a few issues likethat were sort of nagging at our herd.We weren’t able to get the productionwe had wanted to attain,” Duane said.

Things were prettytough. Still lots ofwork needed to bedone on that farm ...We had to build afeed storage facility.

— Duane Holker

Coming Jan. 28-29 ~ Make plans to attendMN Ag EXPO 2015Visit www.TheLandOnline.com for details

MOVE, pg. 6Binstructor suggested it was time forthem to buy into their own operation.This farm had a new barn with a step-up parlor from the old tie-stall barn.

“So we decided it was time to try astep-up parlor. We brought our 100cows, then bought another 60 cows,”said Duane.

Move number five occurred October13, 2000.

Unfortunately, the step-up parlordidn’t work out.

“We didn’t like it. It just wasn’t a con-venient operation to work in so wedecided to build our own milking par-lor,” said Duane.

Duane is a handy guy and his cousinand two friends went to work withhim. In about two weeks, this crewbuilt a double-7 herringbone parlorsuspended totally from the ceiling ofthe old barn.

“We enjoyed our new parlor verymuch. Had our office in the barn, rest-room in the barn, we had really nicefacilities. We were happy. We’d builtour herd up to 240 cows and builtanother free-stall barn,” said Duane.Barn fire

Disaster struck April 23, 2009, at8:30 p.m. A devastating fire ignited intheir adjacent farm shop. Strong windsquickly moved it to the barn and intothe stored hay. Even a 17-by-50 footblue silo with fiberglass roof, a SealStore silo, filled with high-moisturecorn, was on fire. Five fire departmentsresponded.

“It was a horrible mess. We still hadall the cows but no milking parlor. Wehad to find a home for 200 cows in fourhours time. Jason Maas, a dairyfarmer friend near Litchfield had justquit milking. He had a swing 10-cowparlor now sitting empty. He alwaysmilked around 120 cows. We took 170of our cows to his farm, the remainderto other friends. Now we had cows inthree locations and suddenly we got tomilk in another parlor,” said Duanewith a chuckle.

This was move number six.“God’s been good to us,” Louise said

quietly.Their two children, Albert and Mor-

gan Holker, now 28 and 26 respec-tively, were a huge help in this suddentransformation to yet another locationfor their parents’ dairy business.

“We had some neighbor kids thatwere milking with us. They really wereremarkable. When we moved our cows

they came over to this new locationand continued with their big help. Itwas a God-send that these youngerfolks and other neighbors were thereto help when we desperately neededhelp,” said Louise.

There were challenges, but one ofheaven’s angels decided to wrap itswings around the Holkers. A neighbor,Vernon Matheis who is a contractorsaid to Duane, “Let’s get you into aparlor.” Matheis and Holker went towork and again in two weeks therewas a new parlor.

“We put a double-7 parbone inside abuilding that measured 22 feet wideand 32 feet long. We built in a milkroom; even found space for a utilityroom. And we did an outside holdingpen. The building was a Lester’s CalfNursery originally,” said Duane.

That was move number seven.“We brought our cows home. Got

them used to our new little parlor. Wewere at about 200 cows then. We’d soldoff some cows because there wasn’tenough room anymore after the fire.We did that from 2009 until Septem-ber 2011. At that point, financescaught up with us. Corn was tooexpensive; milk was too cheap. We

MOVE, from pg. 7Bwere buying all our feed so the cardswere stacked,” said Duane.

So a total “sell out” in September2011. Again one of those Holker angelsintervened.

“Our veterinarian was running adairy and she asked if we would beinterested in managing her dairy. Sowe moved over there and managed her90-cow dairy. It was like a breathingspell for Louise and me after all ourvarious stresses the previous months.We were still in Meeker County so stillfelt at home.”

That was Move number eight.“We worked there for one year than a

friend at Danube, Minn., asked if wewanted to come down and join his gangfor a stint until we could get going onour own once again. We had knownOdie (Jansen) for several years. Heknew about our situation. It soundedlike an opportunity. We worked with

Odie and his crew for two years … hehad approximately 160-170 cow dairyand let us build up some of our owncow numbers again.

“But soon the same situation like weexperienced at the Greg Jans place …too many cows and not enough space,”said Duane.Starting over

The couple agreed it was time tomake another move back into a placeof their own. Meeker County farmer

Paul Schilling was looking for someoneto rent his dairy barn.

“We always longed to move back toMeeker County because we love thearea so much. Also our feed guy BrianCarlson wanted us to come back here,”said Duane.

That dreaded stray voltage chal-lenge flared up on the Schilling farm.Even after trying several correctivemeasures, he finally decided to call itquits. But those electrical issues werelater corrected when the local utilityput in a new power line to the farm.

Duane said that he, Schilling andCarlson together prayed about thisnext decision, which would be movenumber nine. Now the Holkers werelosing some amenities. This barn did-n’t have a parlor. They were back totie-stalls and pipeline milking.

“Back to how we started,” smiledLouise.

Schilling owns 40 cows; Duane and

Louise have 26 cows currently. Theyhave seven milking units. Lots ofbending and squatting and standingso lots of exercise for Duane, now 52,and Louise, 51. These milking nomadsnamed the farm Shuffle Dairy.

“We’re going to try to make thiswork out for us and Paul Schilling. Idon’t have any plans to move on, atleast not at this point,” said Duane.

His wife however noted, “Yes, therewill be one more move. We’re cur-rently living in an apartment inLitchfield. We’d like to be into a houseof our own.”

And that would be move number 10.“I’ve always had a passion for dairy

farming. We love our Lord. We followhim and he tells us where to go,” saidDuane.

Duane and Louise Holker wereinterviewed at the Minnesota DairyExpo, St. Cloud, Minn, in December. ❖
