Who should be heldaccountable for our

water quality problems— cities or farms?

Supporters of bothsides made their caseat a recent meeting in

Mankato, Minn.

Story on Page 5

A traditional bookmark of the end of theharvest season in Minnesota (perhapsnorthern Iowa too?) are lutefisk suppers.With its strong Scandinavian history,Minnesota probably ranks No. 1 in lute-fisk suppers. I’ve never seen evidence tosupport my theory, or disprove it. But it’smy story and I’m sticking with it.

Why? Because Election Day, Nov. 3, wasthe annual lutefisk supper — we say sup-per rather than dinner so excuse my eti-quette — at Vinje Lutheran Church ofWillmar, Minn. Still no boycotts of the fes-tival event; this was their 38th.

All I can say is that it was spectacu-larly good. Perhaps I’m bending theKing’s English, but spectacular it was. Ufda — we’reeven talking repeat servings on lutefisk! Plus ofcourse delicious meatballs (for those too timid toeven nibble a bite of lutefisk), boiled potatoes, corn,cranberry relish, and lots of lefse with brown sugarfor added flavor.

At Vinje the men traditionally take most of thecredit for this amazing smorgasbord, and rightly so.To minimize the potential of “lingering odors” in thechurch kitchen, these men even have their own spe-cially equipped kitchen on wheels — a revamped,enclosed trailer parked conveniently adjacent to thechurch kitchen. Women and children were importanthelpers. This magnificent feed came at a cost of $14.I trust a goodly number of you readers also had theopportunity to indulge in a few church suppers thismonth — and even some lutefisk of your own!Thanks but no thanks?

There is much to be thankful for this season.Incredible yields are old chatter by now. Back onAug. 28 my “Land Minds” lead paragraph read:“Record yields appear to be in the making across theboard for corn, soybeans and sugar beets.” And so ithappened. I also boasted Minnesota’s average stateyield this year would eclipse Iowa. I commented “Ibelieve 185 bu./acre or better could happen thisyear.” It will be a while before official U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture data tell the real story.

Unfortunately record yields don’t generate recordrevenue. Our cash grain guys are getting clipped thehardest. There’s lots of equity getting chewed up,putting farm lenders in a predicament, too. And the

discontent is likely to be a two- or three-year malaise according to farm econo-mists. There are some respectable profitsto be found for cattle feeders and hog pro-ducers, thanks mostly to considerablycheaper feed costs. Dairy farmers tell meit’s a so-so situation on milk profits thesedays — sure, cheaper feed costs butcheaper milk prices, too. So the crystalball is telling us “least cost” producers arethe likely survivors. That’s really nothingnew.

But it seems to me there has to be somereality with land owners, too. I’m talk-ing a reduction in land rental prices, orat least a flexible rental package that

adjusts with commodity prices and net revenue.Back in October 2014, I wrote a story that asked

the question: Is corn a loser? It was based on thereality that $3.50 corn and $7.50 soybeans wouldn’tbe paying off much of the 2015 debt load. That cer-tainly now appears to be the outlook for 2016, too.

A Clay County (Iowa) Fair visit last year with DanYegge of Ag Performance Inc., Buffalo Center, Iowa,triggered that story. Said Yegge: “We’ve got a lot ofconcerned farmers. Looking at 2015, even with $3.50corn we’re looking at negative cash flows of $150 to$200 per acre.” And look where we are right now.

So what to do? Cheaper production costs are thequick answer. That always triggers lots of ideas,especially trimming land and input costs. Well, goodluck. So far lower fertilizer prices aren’t leading theparade. And based on what I’m hearing, land rentsaren’t free falling either. But one item stirring upeven more conversation this fall is cheaper seed,which leads to talk about non-GMO seed.

I’m told conventional corn is about $75 an acrecheaper than biotech corn. Many of you using biotechare likely using insecticides anyway, and perhapseven at least one herbicide, to better protect againstthose “resistant weed breaks” that keep popping up.

Corn guys who know tell me the challenge in goingconventional is finding the genetics that will deliveras good or better yields than biotech seeds. Who winsthat argument I don’t know, but some tell me genet-ics of both conventional and biotech corn are essen-

By Dick Hagen

See HAGEN, pg. 3

HAGEN, from pg. 2tially the same. It’s those“trait” accessories thatramp up the cost — and hopefully provide the pro-tection. Stay tuned. I think the seed industry is in areal struggle these days on conventional versusbiotech.It’s the law

I’ll wrap up with a few laws many of us encounter...• Law of Mechanical Repair: After your hands

become coated with grease, your nose will begin toitch.

• Law of Probability: The probability of beingwatched is directly proportional to the stupidity ofyour act.

• Law of Bathing: After the body is fully immersedin warm soothing water, the telephone rings.

• Law of Close Encounters: The probability ofmeeting someone you know increases when you arewith someone you don’t want to be seen with.

• Law of Logical Argument: Anything is possible ifyou don’t know what you are talking about. (Thatlaw comes into play routinely with my morning cof-fee crew.)

My wish is that Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26, will bea wonderful event for you and your family. Remem-ber blessed are they who can laugh at themselves forthey shall never cease to be amused. And here’s afortune cookie for you: It’s not only important to add

years to your life but to also add life to your years!Finally, my kudos to Managing Editor Tom Royer

in last issue of The Land for his honesty about hisdays “playing farmer” with his brother in westernIowa, and for the tender words describing the

absence of his dear father who died earlier this sea-son. Choice memories, Tom, that will always be withyou. Thank you for sharing.

Hagen: ‘Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves’

It’s time to shut down the party in your cornfi eld. If tough broadleaf weeds like giant ragweed, waterhemp and Palmer

amaranth are laughing away at your current corn herbicide, it’s time to make a switch. This year load the sprayer with Acuron,® the new corn herbicide from Syngenta.

OPINION

To the Editor: Now is the time for an Al-Corn exit plan for retire-

ment-age owner members. The ethanol cooperative’sboard can come up with an exit plan that pays equi-table value for the shares of those retirement-agemembers who borrowed money to build the plantmore than 20 years ago.

Taking such action will leave a majority of memberswho will support a new plant. This action by ourboard would make it work for both sides.

The Al-Corn Board of Directors should show us itcan take action on this matter.John SteeleHayfield, Minn.

The gray dullness of November finallymade it to Illinois a couple of weeks late.

The morning of its arrival began likealmost every morning since Labor Day,warm and with a breeze. By noon, how-ever, a sharp wind was blowing from theeast and the low groan of thunder prom-ised both a rain and a nap and nothingcould be done to stop either.

Should all of November stay gray, fewin farm and ranch country could com-plain after the stunning weather we’veenjoyed this September and October.

It was more than stunning; it wasspectacular. Only one day of rainslowed combines during the whole ofharvest in my neighborhood. No one, not even theoldtimers, could recall such a perfect fall.

Despite this year’s luxurious delay, winterweather — even November weather — will arrivesoon enough. Forty years ago, 1975, a relativelymild central Illinois fall ended with a sledgeham-mer of a snowstorm the night before Thanksgiving.

I remember it well because, as both a student andfarmhand at the University of Illinois that year, Ispent Thanksgiving Day milking Holsteins andpushing snow off the cow lots of the university’sSouth Farms.

I had stayed on campus for two good reasons.First, I had a choice on where I would milk cows

that Thanksgiving: I could either milk theuniversity’s cows in central Illinois for$2.10 an hour or I could go home to thesouthern Illinois dairy farm of my youthand milk my father’s less-pedigreed cowsfor $1 an hour.

Right, I saved the 10 hours of car traveland pocketed the double dollars.

The second reason was equally straight-forward. A girlfriend had invited me toher family’s home for a big party the dayafter Thanksgiving. There was a catch,however; the bash was 90 miles from the

campus cows and I, like every collegestudent in 1975, had no car.Right, I bought my first-ever bus ticket.

Yes, a bus ticket. Back then, buses were everywhereand went everywhere so bus it was because bus ithad to be.

The ticket completed my holiday week planning:class Monday through Wednesday (mostly); cowsevery morning plus all Thanksgiving Thursday; thena Friday bus trip to a new town, new people, and newfun.

Even better, I had Thanksgiving dinner plans. Thedormitory kitchen boss where I washed dinnerdishes every evening invited me to her house for theholiday meal with, she explained, other “odd ducksand lost geese” that she knew were on campus. Din-ner was at 7 at her house and I was told to be there.Mrs. H. was my boss; so I went.

When I returned to my boarding house after shar-ing turkey with ducks and geese, a note taped to themy door informed me that “I need you to milk inmorning. Pick U up at 4. Will get you to bus in time.Wayne.”

Wayne, too, was my boss, he managed the univer-sity’s dairy, so at 4 am the next day I was on theporch waiting for my ride to milk cows for anotherfour hours.

True to his word, though, Wayne had me home intime to shower and change clothes, then drive me tothe bus station to catch my ride. (He also fell asleepon my sofa — cow-enhanced coveralls and all — ashe waited for me to get ready.)

An hour later my girlfriend and her chaperonebrother (oh, brother) met me at the end of the line totake me to their hometown and the big party. Hereyes sparkled brighter than the snow that blanketedthe Illinois prairie that day and her smile warmedme like no fire ever could or ever would.

That was 40 years ago this week and the lovelyCatherine, she of the sparkling eyes and heart-melt-ing smile, and I — cows and snowstorms and anoccasional bus ride notwithstanding — have spentevery Thanksgiving together since.

Lucky, thankful me.The Farm and Food File is published weekly

“My state is in a water qual-ity crisis,” said Bill Stowe.

Stowe, the CEO and generalmanager of Des Moines WaterWorks, is on a mission todecrease nitrates comingdownstream into his city’sdrinking water.

The public utility has filed afederal complaint against the Iowa counties of BuenaVista, Calhoun and Sac, and 10 drainage districtsthey represent. The lawsuit claims the drainage dis-tricts are discharging nitrate pollutants into the Rac-coon River, the city’s source water,and should be required to get a per-mit.

Hosted by the Freshwater Society,Stowe gave a free public lecture inMankato, Minn., on Nov. 4.

Stowe said agriculture must beheld accountable for water quality,noting that it’s extremely impor-tant in both Minnesota and Iowa.To Stowe, that means the days ofvoluntary water quality effortsshould end and drainage districtsin agricultural land should bepoint sources that require a per-mit under the Clean Water Act.

“This isn’t about being againstagriculture, or lawyer versusfarmer,” said Stowe.

The lawsuit is in the discovery period of deposi-tions and evidence gathering and slated for federalcourt in August 2016. Stowe expects the loser to filean appeal, predicting that litigation could take 10years.

Should the public utility win, the drainage districtswill need a National Pollutant Discharge Elimina-tion System permit to discharge water through tilingsystems, explained Stowe.

“Those drainage tiles are point source polluters inour view,” he said.

The next step would be a regulatory process thatStowe is confident will include people in ag, publichealth and environment.

Des Moines draws water from 10,000 square milesof watersheds in the landform called the Des MoinesLobe, relying on the Raccoon and Des Moines riversfor its drinking water. With 30-some counties tochoose from, DMWW chose Sac County while BuenaVista and Calhoun got pulled in due to topography,said Stowe. A U.S. Geological Survey monitoring sta-tion in the area gave the utility a public access pointto sample water from tile outlets.

Des Moines has arguably theworld’s largest nitrate removalfacility, to treat water from theDes Moines and Raccoonrivers. In 2015, the facility ran148 days.

“That’s a record for us,” saidStowe.

The Environmental Protec-tion Agency has set the maxi-mum level of nitrate in drink-

ing water at 10 mg per liter or 10 parts per million.Rates higher than that can cause blue baby syn-drome in which infants under six months old can diefrom a lack of oxygen in their blood.

“This (water) is a commodity that’s very importantto us both commercially andin public health,” Stowe said.

In addition, he noted arecord number of beach clo-sures in 2015. Polluted Iowawaterways are up 15 percent,and 60 cities in Iowa havereported high nitrate levels,said Stowe.

The Gulf of Mexico’s “deadzone” was measured at 6,474square miles this summer.Excessive amounts of nutrientslike nitrogen and phosphorus inMississippi River water enterthe gulf, causing huge algaeblooms which then die and sinkto the ocean floor. Bacteria then

decompose the dead algae, removing dissolved oxy-gen from the water; this lack of oxygen kills fish andother organisms.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrationscientists believe this summer’s larger dead zone sizeis due to heavy June rains in the Mississippi Riverbasin. The average size of the dead zone over thepast five years has been about 5,500 square miles.Controversy

Many farmers, commodity and ag groups disagreethat agricultural drainage tiles are point sources ofpollution that require a permit. Stowe is being criti-cized for pitting urban vs. rural, Iowan vs. Iowan inthis lawsuit.

Stowe contends that storm water, wastewater andwater utilities are heavily regulated while ag produc-ers get a free pass. The City of Des Moines tests itswater for 200 different things a day and reports it, hesaid.

Dennis Mikkelson, a Lake Crystal, Minn., farmerin attendance, questioned Stowe on the detentionstandard in Des Moines. Stowe answered that ifthere is more than one inch of rain, the commercial

COVER STORY, from pg. 5property owner has to store the water for 24 hoursbefore releasing it.

Mikkelson further questioned the fact that as anag producer, he can only release half inch of waterper day while the City of Mankato can release twoinches of rain per hour through its storm drainage.

“Mankato dumps more water in the MinnesotaRiver in one hour than the rest of the county does,”said Mikkelson.

“In a high flow situation,” Stowe responded.An audience member noted that Mankato has 99

storm water ponds to collect water to be released onlow release rates.

Mikkelson said that only three to four inches godown the river each year from his tiling system. Heholds a permit for a tiling system designed torelease only a half-inch of water per day.

“When you put in the tile system, you have toabide by the laws,” he said.Economics

Des Moines provides drinking water for 500,000

consumers from surface waters in agriculturalwatersheds. The more difficult and costly waterissues to treat are nutrient related — nitrate, phos-phorus and ammonia.

“Our consumers are paying to clean the waterthat’s a cost of production upstream,” said Stowe.

Stowe said he understands tiling is necessary tomake agricultural land productive. The consequenceis that tiling in Iowa is increasing water quantitywhile reducing water quality, and the result is thattiling is bringing more water, more quickly and lat-erally into surface waters in the state, he said.

The water released by the drainage districts citedin the lawsuit only have an agricultural source — nosuburban lawns, golf courses or geese to skewresults, Stowe said. Intensive testing for a year

showed that outlets were discharging water in 20 to40 parts per million on a regular basis, with a couple70 parts per million, he noted.

“We have every intent of holding them accountablefor downstream consequences,” said Stowe.

The cost, he said, is being pushed downstream. Thecost to run the nitrate removal facility in 2014-15was $1,500,000 compared to $908,700 in 2013. Theprice tag for a new facility is $76 to $183 million.

Mikkelson said he plans to follow up with DesMoines Water Works to better learn where the wateris being sampled and how it is being tested. He saidthat he is also testing the water coming out of hisown tile system.

“Our tiles aren’t that bad of water,” said Mikkel-son. “We’re running at four parts per million. I don’tthink our city sewer is doing that well.”

After the nitrogen is removed from drinking water,the utility has a permit to dump the nitrogen backinto the river downstream. Mikkelson noted that hehad read the utility dumps 25,000 tons of nitrogenper year back into the river. Stowe said that numbermay well be accurate.

“We are seeing millions of tons coming by us,” saidStowe.

According to a document on the Des Moinesnitrate removal facility, returning the nitrate to theriver does not impact the nitrate load. As an exam-ple, the daily nitrate load in the Raccoon River canapproach 700 tons; of this amount, less than 0.1 per-cent would pass through the nitrate removal facilityand be returned to the river. The bigger problem,according to Stowe, is the salt that goes into thewatershed as salt is used in the nitrate removalprocess and salt is hard on aquatic systems.Water quality efforts

COVER STORY, from pg. 6Moines watershed are due to corn andsoybeans, said Stowe. Iowa has 13 mil-lion acres of corn, 9.7 million acres ofsoybeans and 21 million hogs, com-pared to three million humans. Stowesaid there is little local control overlivestock operators in Iowa.

The Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strat-egy as a voluntary process is not get-ting the job done. Prompted by theEPA Gulf Hypoxia Action plan, thestrategy is based on science that 92percent of the nitrate problem is fromunregulated ag sources and eight per-cent is from wastewater treatmentplants and factories, said Stowe.

“Science excellent, policy horrible,”he said. “It’s not resourced, it’s notmeasured, there are no time frames,there are no requirements.”

The strategy calls for the reductionof 45 percent of nutrient loads goinginto Iowa waters, the Mississippi Riverand to the Gulf of Mexico. Practices toreduce nutrient runoff such as satu-rated buffer strips, crop rotation, nitro-

gen stabilizers, cover crops, con-structed wetlands and bioreactors areboth expensive and voluntary.

“The idea that a public health con-cern should be voluntary to me is notpractical,” said Stowe.

Based on a study from Iowa StateUniversity, reducing 45 percent ofnutrient loads will take a long-terminvestment of $1 to $1.5 billion eachyear over 20 years, Stowe said.

To implement the Nutrient Reduc-tion Plan, the Iowa Water Quality Ini-tiative was established in 2013. InJuly, Gov. Terry Branstad and the IowaLegislature committed $9.6 million tothe initiative. Plus, the Iowa Depart-ment of Agriculture and Land Stew-ardship received $6.75 million for con-servation cost share projects. ISUreceived $1.35 million for its NutrientResearch Center and $1.23 million fora three-year pilot project to quantifyinfield activities focused on improvingwater quality.

Gov. Branstad and Iowa Secretary ofAgriculture Bill Northey said the con-

servation practices will take time towork.

“In my business of providing day-to-day drinking water, we don’t havetime,” said Stowe.Minnesota

The Minnesota Department of Agri-culture’s Nitrogen Fertilizer Manage-ment Plan has been revised. The planis the blueprint to prevent or minimizerisks of nitrogen pollutants in Min-nesota groundwater. Larry Gunderson,MDA agriculture unit supervisor,explained that the department is test-ing private wells in townships. If highnitrate levels are found, farmers canimplement best management practicesto reduce levels.

“The first three years are volun-tary,” said Gunderson. “Then if farm-ers are not following the BMPs andthose nitrate levels are high — that’swhen it becomes regulatory.”

So MDA is writing the NitrogenFertilizer Rule to support the plan.The rule will have two parts: Restrictapplication of nitrogen fertilizer inthe fall in vulnerable groundwaterareas; and requirements to meet theBMPs if nitrate levels are high afterthree years.

By TIM KINGThe Land Correspondent

ST. PAUL — Field pennycress hasthe potential to be an economically andenvironmentally valuable bridgebetween the fall harvest and the plant-ing of corn and soybeans the next year.

Field pennycress is a member of themustard family of plants and comes toMinnesota and the Midwest fromEurasia. Although FPC is widely con-sidered a weed, it is recognized as hav-ing potential for biodiesel, aviationfuel, and even edible oil. In that senseit is similar to its plant relative canola.

FPC can seed itself, or be seeded, inthe late summer. It will grow under thecool conditions of autumn and survivethe winter to start growing again in thespring before many other plants germi-nate.

Because field pennycress is a winterannual it has the potential to act like acover crop. That means it can preventsoil erosion and keep excess nitrogenand phosphorous in place rather thanin ground and surface waters. Butbecause it has the potential for oil pro-duction, it is more than a cover crop.Researchers like Don Wyse, professorat the University of Minnesota, arecalling it a bridge crop.

“A bridge crop is a crop that isplanted in the fall in a harvested orstanding crop and grows until anothercrop is planted into the bridge crop orimmediately after the bridge crop isharvested,” Wyse said. “The differencebetween a cover crop and a bridge cropis that a cover crop is not harvestedwhile a bridge crop is harvested forgrain or biomass.”

Along with other scientists from theU of M’s Department of Agronomy &Plant Genetics and Department ofPlant Biology, as well as scientistsfrom USDA’s Agricultural ResearchService, Wyse been working to developimproved lines of field pennycress forabout a decade.

“For years we’ve been asking farm-ers, ‘Why don’t you grow cover crops?’”Wyse said. “They always ask us, ‘Whatdo you want us to grow and what’s themarket for it?’ It became evident to methat farmers didn’t have any options.The land grant universities, with theirpublic investment, developed theannual crops that we have today.

“Now the challenge is for those univer-sities to develop the next generation ofcrops that are perennial or winterannual and that provide ecological serv-ices as well as economic opportunitiesfor rural Minnesota. Farmers won’t

have these options unless someonesteps forward and develops them andalso develops the enterprises that makethem economically viable.”Forever Green

FPC is one of a number of crops beingdeveloped by the U of M’s Center forIntegrated Resources and AgriculturalManagement under the auspices of theForever Green Agriculture Initiative.Wyse is co-director of the center.

Development of FPC is further alongthan other crops because it has a sim-ple genome that is related to the previ-ous genome mapping of Arabidopsis,another member of the mustard family.

“The FPC program now has thou-sands of new lines that have beendeveloped in the breeding program,”he said. “Since we have sequenced thegenome of pennycress it means wehave the ability to compare it to theArabidopsis genome in which all of thefunctional genes have been identified.So we now know all of the genes inpennycress that control floweringtime, dormancy, oil, etc.

“This allows the breeders to deter-

mine which crosses contain the traitsof interest without planting them outin the field. This speeds up the devel-opment of the new improved varieties.The breeding program is focused ontraits regarding seed dormancy, oilcontent, early maturity, rapid emer-gence, yield, short stature, and non-lodging, among other things.”

Late this summer the FPC develop-ment team overseeded a variety into15 acres of standing corn. They used ahighboy-style tractor to get above thecorn and dragged heavy chains behindthe tractor to ensure germination.

“We’ve found that to get consistentgermination you need some form ofsoil disturbance,” Wyse said.

The FPC germinated before harvestand will continue growing after har-vest until freeze-up. As it grows it willact like a conventional cover crop inthat it will capture nitrate nitrogenand hold the soil in place. It will alsobuild organic matter. When growthstarts again it will continue to providethose services.

PENNYCRESS, from pg. 9“In Minnesota the period between April and June

is when we get most of our rain,” Wyse said. “If youdon’t have living material the residual nitrate nitro-gen will leach down into tile lines or streams. If youkeep the field green that nitrate nitrogen will beheld in place. It will also provide a living cover tohold the soil and phosphorous in place.”

The Forever Green team is currently working on aresearch project to determine just how much N isheld in place by the living pennycress. Wyse believespart of that N will be captured when the pennycress

is harvested. Since the FPC harvest will likely be inearly to mid-June Wyse expects that soybeans will beseeded into the standing FPC in May.

“We call that a relay crop system and we believethat will work best in our shorter growing season,”he said.

Since the FPC has been growing since the previousautumn, Wyse anticipates almost complete suppres-sion of weeds.

“We’re really excited about that,” he said. “We’lldramatically reduce herbicide inputs.”

MarketSelecting field pennycress varieties that will excel

in this cropping system is only part of what needs tobe done if the crop is to be successful and accepted byfarmers. This fall the U of M, in collaboration withthe Agricultural Utilization Research Institute,pressed their first small batch of oil from FPC grownby the project. The researchers will conduct livestockand poultry feeding trials with the protein remain-ing after oil extraction.

“With the pennycress we’re building the end-usecomponent as much or more than we are developingthe genomics,” said Wyse.

Developing new crops along with a processing andmarketing infrastructure takes a long time and isfraught with risks and pitfalls. Both field pennycressdevelopment and the larger Forever Green Agricul-ture Initiative will take years of hard work and con-tinued public investment before they reach theambitious goals established for them, Wyse said.

> The Forever Green Agricultural Initiativeintends to use the most advanced plant breedingtechnology to improve farmers’ incomes, protectthe state’s water and soil, and increase the quan-tity and quality of wildlife habitat in rural Min-nesota.

Using techniques developed by the publicly-funded human genome project, University of Min-nesota plant breeding teams are rapidly and inex-pensively mapping the genomes of plants that canserve as both cover crops and sources of additionalfarm income.

“A billion dollars was invested in mapping thehuman genome,” University of Minnesota Depart-ment of Agronomy and Plant Genetics professorDon Wyse said. “With what we learned from thatwe can map a genome for $75,000. It has revolu-tionized plant breeding. Five years ago the tech-nology was there but now the cost has come downdramatically. My team mapped the field penny-cress genome on a laptop computer for $75,000.”

Mapping a genome allows plant breeders todetermine if a plant has the traits that they areseeking. That helps eliminate a lot of trial anderror that previously had to be done in trial plotsin the field.

“You can look at the DNA and determine if theone you’re looking at has the trait that you’re look-ing for,” said Wyse. “You do have to trial the onethat has the trait to see how it performs in thefield but it really speeds things up. Not only canyou look at individual traits, but with the genomemap you can look at the full array of traits thatyou want.”

In addition to developing field pennycress, For-ever Green researchers are looking at another oilseed plant called camelina. They are also workingon intermediate wheatgrass, perennial sunflowersand hazelnuts. —Tim King

The seed industry is moreintense today resulting in bet-ter product tomorrow. Thisobservation comes from BobThurston, who foundedThurston Genetics in 1993,after earlier years with Tro-jan Seed and RBA Seeds.

“In past years we in the U.S. seedindustry felt we had a corner on tech-

nologies,” said Thurston. “Buttechnology is a moving phe-nomenon anymore. It floatsinto other corners of the worldwhich in a matter of just a fewyears has made the world seedindustry more intense.”

Since 2001, Thurston Genet-ics has been part of BASFPlant Science.

Thurston noted South Americancountries have gotten into new sys-

tems, technologies and breeding torapidly upgrade their overall impactinto world seed markets.

“Europe still lags in accepting manyof these technologies and that is whygetting some of these new seed prod-ucts into the European market is notyet happening,” he said.

Thurston said he thinks the Europeanreluctance is political and cultural.

“There’s nothing scientific that saysthey should stay where they’re at onthese genetic issues. The EU appar-ently both culturally and politicallyspeaking has chosen this path of notaccepting bio-technology. That’s theirchoice but we see no evidence to sup-port that mind frame,” he said.

In regards to China’s flip-flop behav-ior on genetically modified organism vs.non-GMO grains, Thurston chuckled.

“That nation has a most unpre-dictable mind set,” he said. “Yet to sus-tain their huge population they haveto import some of their foods andgrains. World stocks of seeds andgrains have built up considerably thepast few years so the supply anddemand equation is working againstU.S. products right now, as is thestronger value of our U.S. dollar.”Traits

In view of differing public opinionson GMO hybrids, Thurston said hedoubts the industry will stop develop-ing new traits.

“From a crop protection standpointwe’ve done extremely well in the plantscience world on all crops, but thatdoesn’t mean we rest on our laurels.There’s always room for improve-ments,” he said. “The engines havebeen built; now it’s a matter of improv-ing on them.

“You’ve got to come up with differenttraits primarily because MotherNature is always challenging us. Thatsaid, I think there will be some totallynew traits, like ‘energy traits’ thatincrease the feedstock value of thecrop for new uses we don’t yet visual-ize. Or more feed value traits such asconcentrating on higher proteins, orspecific amino acids, or perhaps evencertain pharmaceutical values whichpotentially might lessen the need fordrugs and medicine.”

The challenge in introducing newtraits is maintaining the productivityof the crop when planted in a farmer’sfield, explained Thurston. Farmersalso consider identity preservation inchoosing seeds. IP is the production,handling and marketing practices

that maintain the integrity and purityof ag commodities.

“It’s a lot to ask of a farmer manag-ing a lot of acres,” he said. “However,that doesn’t mean we give up onincreasing feed values, whether forlivestock feed or human usage.”

With rising seed prices and morepublic discussions on non-GMO foods,Thurston sees a growing market in thedevelopment of non-GMO seeds espe-cially if depressed commodity marketprices remain.

“Growers are continually assessinghow they can reduce their total pro-duction costs on a unit basis. Theselower priced, non-GMO hybrids can beone alternative,” he said. “We’re seeingan increased demand for conventionalcorn hybrids. We don’t see this as amajor trend line but we recognize it forwhat it is and will position ourselvesin the market accordingly.”

Thurston pointed out the challengesof going into non-GMO crop production.

“It simply takes more total manage-ment. You’ll need a specific insecticideprogram; also weed control issues willbe more of a challenge. Basically you’lljust have to do a better job day by dayof observing and managing that cornand soybean crop,” he said.

Farmers are tremendously good atwhat they do these days and dronesand aerial imagery will make themeven better, explained Thurston.

“But I think most sharp growers willagree the traits that come with theirseed purchases are the umbrella theyneed for any potential slips in theirown strategies,” Thurston said.Global market

Thurston doubts an increase in U.S.corn acres for the 2016 season, mostlydue to efficiencies of scale. Some of thesedecisions are removed from growers.

“It’s what’s happening globally, espe-cially as it relates to exports of U.S.corn and soybeans. Energy too is a bigplayer,” he said.

Government intrusions in the seedindustry is relative, said Thurston,who travels the world.

“Compared with other countries,we’re blessed in the United States,”said Thurston. “Our government workswith producers, with scientists, withus in the genetic world, with educationand academics. I consider ourselvesfortunate and don’t foresee any hur-dles that we can’t overcome.”

One of the first things afarm family learns is thatthey need to stockpile thecash reserves — if there areany — whenever they can.Sooner or later we all findout that livestock and grainprices can fall. They can fallhard and they can fall fast.

We first experienced thecrunch in the 1990s whenhog prices went through thefloor. When examining thebills and the checkbook,there was no questioning that we hadto cut back. One of the first things thathad to go was haircuts in town.

I had never cut anyone’s hair. The verythought of doing it myself was a littlehair-raising, but I figured if my husbandwasn’t afraid of looking like Lyle Lovettdid back then, I should not fear theprocess either. And so I plowed ahead.

I took our two toddler sons to town toget their last paid hair cut from a profes-sional. I brought bags of fruit snackswith me because, of course, they neededsomething to occupy themselves since

they couldn’t pretend to befarming while they were sit-ting in the chair.

The barber clipped and vis-ited while I watched what hewas doing. I paid the man,said good-bye and left therefor the last time, hoping Ihad it figured out.

Our boys were smallenough that their first hair-cuts were in booster chairson top of the kitchen table.A towel and clothespin

served as the haircut apron, and apackage of fruit snacks deemed themoblivious to what was really going on.

Of course our sons, being very youngfarm children, loved to talk about thefarm. One of them, in his very younghome haircut days, watched as I putthe clipper head on the clipper and toldme, “That looks like a corn head.”

Well, of course it did. Right from themind of a farm kid; to this day when Iput it on the clipper, I always think ofit looking like a corn head.

The home haircuts continued over

the years and they moved off of thekitchen table. A few years later whenthat same son got a little older and itwas time for prom, he once again foundhimself in the home barber’s chair. Wewere chatting and catching up on hislife — when I dropped the clippers ontothe cement floor.

“That thing better still work,” he saidfirmly, imagining having to face hisprom date with half of a haircut.

Luckily for all of us, it did keep work-ing.

The years have passed, and I havevisited with all of our guys about thefarm and their dreams; I’ve heard andtalked about their problems, andlaughed and listened to their jokes andlife stories they have shared with me. Ilook forward to that one-on-one timespent together.

Recently our sons came over for their

post-harvest ’do. The back door poppedopen and I heard a familiar voiceyelling, “Mom? Is the barber shopopen?”

It’s the one good thing I can attrib-ute to the hog market decline of the1990s. Lack of funding made me honea new skill and, in exchange, it gaveback to me more than I ever imaginedin terms of cultivating important rela-tionships. It happened 20 minutes at atime and all it cost us was a hair clip-per. I have been truly grateful. Thereare lessons in hard times.

These days I spend time hoping theirhaircuts don’t look like a corn headactually did the job. Maybe it’s whythey all wear their caps so faithfully.

Livestock AnglesMeat prices

volatileThe one thing you can say about the livestock mar-

kets lately is there is no doubt that there is plenty ofvolatility in the price movement. For several weeksnow both hog and cattle prices have been all over theplace with an overall emphasis toward lower levels.There is no reason at this point to think that thisvolatility will not remain for theforeseeable future.

The cattle market is still in afierce battle between supply anddemand. At this juncture it wouldappear that the demand is theevident factor in the direction ofthe market. Demand for beef con-tinues to be weak despite the factthat the beef cutouts havedropped well off their highs. All ofthis price weakness despite thefact that cattle numbers are rela-tively tight.

It would seem that several factors will need tochange for the cattle market to become more stable.One thing is weights need to come down since theexcessive weights continue to keep beef productiontoo high which keeps the supply of beef more thanadequate for the weak demand. With the competitivemeats such as pork and chicken prices declining, thebeef prices need to come down to stay competitive inthis economic environment.

Therefore, producers should remain cognizant ofmarket factors and stay current as possible until thecattle market stabilizes.

The hog market has continued to slide basicallysince the May highs to lows not seen for severalyears. The problem has been that numbers of hogs

Grain AnglesHigher yields,lower prices

U.S. Department of Agriculture reports werereleased Nov. 10. As always, these reports helpshape farmers’, end users’, and commodity traders’opinions on the market price of corn and othergrains or oilseeds. Corn yield across the UnitedStates rose 1.3 bushels, to 169.3. This is the second-highest yield on record, and thethird highest total U.S. corn pro-duction. Soybeans, at just underfour billion bushels, are also at arecord level of production for theUnited States.

Every producer likes to see bigyield numbers, however, the largeyield expectations have gener-ated lower prices. The USDA low-ered its corn farm price to $3.65on corn and $8.90 on soybeans forthe 2015 marketing year. Theseprices have caused some concernas the cost of production in manycases is much higher, resulting in losses.

We’ve been hearing a number of marketing profes-sionals talk about our cost of production. Why all thetalk?

To remain competitive in today’s market, under-standing how your costs stack up to the competitionmay help you make better management decisions.When we look at an individual’s farm cost, it’simportant to look at them on a field-by-field basis or,at least, by enterprise. If we do not know whichfields or enterprises are making us money, how canwe make decisions on what to grow or what price wecan afford to pay for rent?

Fortunately, many farmers’ cost of production waslowered by an increase in yields. For example, if

in tight rangeThe following market analysis is for the week

ending Nov. 20.CORN — December corn eased higher last week,

but traded in a tight range from $3.57 1⁄4 to $3.66 1⁄2per bushel. It closed a nickel higher for the week at$3.63 1⁄4 per bushel. The July contract moved 3 3⁄4cents higher to settle at $3.80 3⁄4and the December 2016 contractwas 3 1⁄2 cents higher at $3.911⁄4 per bushel. In general, it wasan extremely dull week withfresh news at a premium. TheDecember contract continues totrade in the range that was seton the day of the Nov. 10 cropreport.

U.S. corn is becoming more com-petitive on the export side. Offersout of Brazil are non-existent,January forward and Ukrainiannumbers have been declining.Mexico stepped in to buy 952,000 metric tons of U.S.corn for this marketing year and 488,000 metric tonsfor the 2016-17 marketing year. The large purchasewas thought to be one end user covering their needsfor the year at a price they found attractive.

Weekly export sales were the highest since thestart of the marketing year at 30.7 million bushels.This was the first week this year that the weeklynumber met what is needed to meet the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture projection. Total export commit-ments are still running 30 percent behind last yearwhen the USDA’s projection is for a three percentdecline year-on-year. Weekly sales need to averagealmost 31 million bushels per week to hit the USDAtarget of 1.8 billion bushels.

NYSTROM, from pg. 15Brazil’s corn vessel export line-up

is a record 7.6 million metric tonsafter rain delays at a couple of ports. This line-upneeds to get addressed so the ports can gear up forthe January/February soybean export program.

U.S. barge freight slipped below 300 percent to itslowest level since the spring of 2013 on waningdemand. On the Illinois River, the 270 percent levelis thought to be the breaking point where bargeswill begin to be tied off. The cheaper freight hasresulted in slightly higher basis levels and will tem-per any ideas of deliveries against the Decembercontract when first notice day rolls around on Dec. 1.

Weekly ethanol production fell 7,000 barrels perday to 975,000 bpd. Ethanol production will usuallyincrease into December before trending lowerthrough the winter and into the spring. Ethanolstocks rose from 792 million gallons to 809 milliongallons with zero exports for the week. This was thehighest level of stocks since July. Since the start ofthe marketing year, the annualized grind has beenat a rate for 5.235 billion bushels compared to theUSDA forecast for 5.175 billion bushels. The Envi-ronmental Protection Agency is expected to releasethe 2014-16 blending levels under the RenewableFuels Standard by the end of the month.

The October Cattle on Feed report was neutral.The number on feed was 102 percent of last year,placements were 96 percent and marketings were97 percent of last year. The Commitment of Tradersreport as of Nov. 17 showed a bearish slant withlarge traders net long shrinking and the managedmoney and large reportable traders going from net

long to net short. The InternationalGrains Council cut their world corn

production by 2.4 mmt to 967.3 mmtwhich is 4.5 percent lower than last year’s record.

OUTLOOK: The first line of support in the Decem-ber contract is the contract low at $3.56 per bushel,then $3.46 3⁄4 per bushel based on the continuouschart. Resistance lies at $3.75 1⁄2 per bushel. Manyquestion whether we can see futures above $4.00this winter. The question to ask is, why should we?Something significant may need to happen for pricesto revisit that level, i.e. weather in South America,something on the geopolitical scene, or a surprisepop in demand. The increasing fund short mayprompt a degree of short covering, but a pop higherwould likely be met with grower selling. The mar-kets will be closed on Nov. 26 for Thanksgiving andreopen on Friday, Nov. 27. The Chicago Board ofTrade will close at 12:05 p.m. central time on Friday.

SOYBEANS — January soybeans played in asmall 16 1⁄4 cent range for the week with China’spurchase of 180,000 metric tons of U.S. beans givingthe market a boost to begin the week. January soy-beans closed up 2 1⁄4 cents at $8.57 1⁄2 per bushel forthe week. This was the first higher weekly close afterfour lower weekly closes and like the December corn,it continues to trade in the range set the day of theNov. 10 crop report. The deferred contracts fared alittle better with the July contract rallying 4 1⁄4cents to $8.72 1⁄2 and the November 2016 beans up 41⁄2 cents at $8.78 1⁄2 per bushel.

Weekly export sales were 66 million bushels, muchhigher than estimates and the best in three weeks.Total export commitments are 17 percent behindlast year. The USDA’s latest forecast calls for a sevenpercent reduction in exports year on year. Sales needto average 14.8 million bushels per week to achievethe USDA’s outlook for 1.715 billion bushels. Chinastepped in to buy 180,000 metric tons of U.S. beansthis week and unknown bought 12,000 metric tonsthat will show up in next week’s report.

The October National Oilseed Processors Associa-tion crush report was a record at 158.9 millionbushels, but slightly less than expectations for 161million bushels. Of interest locally on the report,crushing in the Minn./S.D./N.D. region jumped the oldrecord by 9.4 percent to a record monthly crush of 17.6million bushels. National Agricultural Statistics Ser-vice’s monthly crush report will be released Dec. 1.

The Buenos Aires Grain Exchange put Argentine

soybean planting at 31 percent complete withacreage forecast at 19.8 million hectares. The AgMinistry is pegging acreage at 20.6 million hectaresand the USDA is using 20 million hectares. SouthAmerican weather for now is moot, although someare concerned with pockets in Brazil that are eithertoo wet or too dry. At present, there is no majorthreat to the crop in South America. Looking aheadto the 2016-17 growing season in the United States,it’s too early to forecast below average trend yieldsbased on this year’s strong El Nino. According toweather analysts, in three of the last five strong ElNino years, the following growing season did not pro-duce severely hot and dry conditions. But again, con-ditions can change quickly and it’s just too early tohave confidence in growing season outlooks.

OUTLOOK: Soybean action was slow this weekahead of the presidential election in Argentina Nov.22 and the upcoming short Thanksgiving tradingweek. The question whether the market has alreadybuilt in an increase in Argentine selling, will beanswered when the ballots are counted. Will thecampaign promises be delivered? If yes, how quickly?Will Argentine farmers respond with a surge in sell-ing? The new President won’t take office until Dec.10, so no changes will happen until then. The marketis due for some degree of upside correction with firstresistance at $8.72 per bushel. Next support is seenin the $8.25 per bushel area, but lower prices arepossible with ample world supplies and questionabledemand.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week end-ing Nov. 20: December Chicago wheat fell 7 1⁄4 centsto $4.88 1⁄2, Minneapolis rallied 5 1⁄4 cents to $5.091⁄2 and Kansas City dropped 8 1⁄2 cents to $4.57 perbushel. December crude oil was 35 cents lower at$40.39 per barrel, ultra-low-sulfur diesel declined apenny, reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blend-ing gained over five cents and natural gas dovenearly 22 cents lower. The U.S. dollar index pushed0.567 higher for the week. ❖

LENSING, from pg. 15your APH is 180 and your costs of producing onebushel of corn is $4.15 a bushel or $747 per acre,what happens in a year like 2015 where you mightaverage 200-bushel corn? Assuming costs are still$747 per acre and 200 bushels, your new cost of pro-duction is $3.74.

TEALE, from pg. 15were more than adequate to meet the packersdemand.

With the profit margins expanding to very widelevels, the packers increased the kills to takeadvantage of the profitable situation. This putexcessive pork available and live prices began todecline. With the increased supply of pork available,there was no where to go but to lower prices paid forlive inventory by the packers.

However, as hog numbers available for slaughterdecline, and with pork prices at lower levels in thesupermarket as compared to beef prices, one wouldsurmise that demand for pork will remain verygood. With profit margins narrowing for producers,one would suspect that the expansion of hog num-bers will tighten in the months ahead.

The major problem for any long-term, sustainedrallies will be the underlying economy. This couldretard any major rallies in the hog market in theyear ahead.

Producers should remain cognizant of marketconditions and protect inventories as needed. ❖

Most farm operators havereceived their checks fromthe U.S. Department of Agri-culture Farm ServiceAgency for the 2014 County-based Agricultural RiskCoverage farm program.Farm operators that haveland in multiple counties,but handle all of their FSAwork administrativelythrough one county, mayhave an additional decisionto make by Feb. 1, 2016.This decision will likelyonly affect a small per-centage of producers;however, it could be a very importantdecision for those that are affected.

A few years ago, FSA allowed farmoperators that had farm units withFSA crop bases in multiple counties todo all of their FSA administrative workin one county, rather than in two ormore counties. Additionally, somecounty FSA offices have been closed inrecent years, requiring a shift in thedesignation of FSA administrativecounties for some producers. When the2014 and 2015 farm programs wererolled out, the decision was made thatall potential farm program paymentswould be made on the basis of the FSAadministrative county, rather than onthe basis of the county where the FSAfarm unit and crop base acres arelocated.

The decision to administer farm pro-gram payments on the basis of a FSAadministrative county has createdsome issues for affected farm opera-tors, due to the fact that 2014 ARC-COpayments are based on county-level2014 corn and soybean yields, com-pared to county benchmark yields.Every county has an independent cal-culation for determining potentialARC-CO payments. This same scenariowill exist for the 2015-18 crop years aswell. In the United States, 93 percentof the corn base acres and 97 percent ofthe soybean base acres are enrolled inthe ARC-CO program option

Farm operators who have had their2014 ARC-CO payments negativelyaffected by the choice of their FSAadministrative county, have until Feb.1, 2016, to request FSA re-calculatetheir 2014 FSA payments on the basisof the physical location of each FSAfarm unit. These requests will be madethrough local FSA offices. Producerscan also request a change in calcula-tion for the 2015 crop year, and anypotential 2015 ARC-CO payments,which will be paid in October 2016.

Following are details toconsider regarding potentialre-calculation of ARC-COpayments.Only a small percentageof farm operators areaffected by this change.

The only producers thatare affected by this changein FSA policy for 2014 arethose that have FSA farmunits in multiple countiesunder a single FSA adminis-

trative county, wherethere was a differencein the 2014 ARC-CO

payment among theaffected counties.

The following farm operators wouldnot be affected by this change:

• Producers with all of their FSAfarm units in one county.

• Producers with farm units in multi-ple counties and separate FSA admin-istrative offices.

In addition, there would be no advan-tage to farm operators with FSA farmunits in multiple counties to re-calcu-late the 2014 ARC-CO payments, if thechosen FSA administrative countyalready had the highest payment rate,which was applied to all the acres of aspecific crop.Situations that may be beneficialfor 2014 FSA ARC-CO re-calcula-tions:

• Variation in ARC-CO paymentsfrom county to county based on 2014yields.

This will be the most common situa-tion where a re-calculation of ARC-COpayments would be requested, whereone county is receiving a fairly large2014 ARC-CO payment, while theneighboring county is receiving little orno 2014 ARC-CO payment. The countylevel ARC-CO payments are deter-mined by price and yield variation. Theprice variation is calculated on anational basis, based on the 2014 mar-ket year average price, which is com-pared to five-year benchmark price,and is the same in all counties in theUnited States. The yield variation iscalculated on a county-specific basis,based on how the actual 2014 Countyyield, compared to the five-year countybenchmark yield, which leads to thevariation in ARC-CO payments fromcounty to county.

Minnesota or Iowa soybean example:County A: Benchmark yield of 47

bu./acre; 2014 yield of 43 bu./acre; 91

percent of benchmark yield — Result-ing 2014 ARC-CO payment = $46 persoybean base acre

County B: Benchmark yield of 47bu./acre; 2014 yield of 52 bu./acre;121 percent of benchmark yield —Resulting 2014 ARC-CO payment = $0

If a farm operator had 300 soybeanbase acres in each county, and hadCounty A as a FSA administrativecounty, they would have received the$46 per soybean base acre 2014 ARC-CO payment on all 600 soybean baseacres; however, if they had County Bas an administrative county, theywould have received no 2014 ARC-CO

Farm operators whohave had their 2014ARC-CO paymentsnegatively affected bythe choice of their FSAadministrative county,have until Feb. 1,2016, to request FSArecalculate their 2014FSA payments on thebasis of the physicallocation of each FSAfarm unit.

THIESSE, from pg. 17payment on any soybean base acres. If the farm oper-ator had County B as an administrative county,

requesting FSA to re-calculate the 2014ARC-CO payments,

would allow that farm operator to receive the 2014soybean ARC-CO on the soybean base acres inCounty A, or $13,800. There would still be no ARC-CO payments on soybean base acres in County B.

This example is not likely to affect corn paymentsas much as soybean payments in Minnesota andother parts of the Upper Midwest, since most coun-ties received the maximum 2014 ARC-CO payment.This example will likely affect corn payments inNebraska, Illinois, Indiana, and other Eastern CornBelt states, where 2014 corn yields where higher andmore variable.

• Variation in maximum payment levels fromcounty to county.

As mentioned, farm operators in many counties inMinnesota and other Upper Midwest states receivedthe maximum level of ARC-CO payments on theircorn base acres for 2014; however, there was a differ-ence in what the maximum payment level was fromcounty to county, which could affect the total ARC-CO payments that a producer received.

Assume that County A received $75 per corn baseacre 2014 ARC-CO payment, while County B (neigh-boring county) received $67 per corn base acre. If thefarm operator had 500 acres of corn base acres ineach county, and had County A as an administrativecounty, they would have received $75 per corn baseacre on all 1,000 acres. However, if they had CountyB as an administrative county, they received $67 percorn base acre on the entire 1,000 acres. If the farmoperator had County B as an administrative county,requesting FSA to re-calculate the 2014 ARC-COpayments, would allow that farm operator to receivean additional $8 per corn base acre on the base acresin County A, or a total of $4,000. There would be noadditional corn ARC-CO payments in County B.The decision will be for all crops and for allaffected FSA farm units.

Farm operators cannot select certain crops or cer-tain FSA farm units for re-calculation of 2014 ARC-CO payments. If a producer has corn, soybean, andwheat base acres, all crops will be affected. It isimportant to keep that in mind when calculating thepotential benefits from the re-calculation of farmprogram payments. There could be a gain of pay-ments for one crop and a loss of payments foranother crop.Farm operators cannot switch their FSAadministrative county or change farm units.

The only choice that a farm operator can make is tohave the 2014 and 2015 ARC-CO payments re-calcu-lated based on the physical location of the individualfarm units. They cannot switch administrative coun-ties, and they cannot reconstitute (split apart) their

THIESSE, from pg. 18farm units. These choices can bemade for the 2016-18 crop years atcertain times that are specified by FSA offices.The 2014 decision to re-calculate ARC-CO pay-ments is separate and independent from the2015 decision.

Farm operators could decide to have their 2014ARC-CO payments re-calculated, but not their 2015ARC-CO payments, or vice versa. The situations for2014 and 2015 ARC-CO payments are somewhat dif-ferent, so farm operators should analyze the situa-tion quite carefully.The decision to re-calculate potential 2015ARC-CO payments is much more variable.

Similar to the 2014crop year, there willlikely be significantcorn and soybeanARC-CO payments inmany areas of theUnited States, due tothe expected lower2015 MYA prices,compared to the 2015corn and soybean bench-mark prices, which willbe the same as 2014.Once again for 2015,there will likely be a bigdifference from county tocounty in the level ofpotential 2015 ARC-CO payments for corn and soy-beans, depending on the final 2015 actual yieldscompared to the five-year benchmark yields.

The problem is that we will not know the final2015 county average yields until late February orearly March, 2016, which is after the Feb. 1, 2016,deadline to request re-calculation of the 2015 ARC-CO payments.

A producer can find out the 2015 benchmark yieldsfor corn and soybeans, which will be used to calcu-late 2015 ARC-CO payments, and will be used todetermine maximum payment levels. The safestchoice for 2015 is probably to request that the cropbase acres be re-calculated based on the physicallocation of the land, unless a farm operator is fairlycertain that the administrative county will have alower 2015 yield than the other counties that haveFSA crop base acres.All eligible persons receiving farm programpayments must agree to the decision to re-cal-culate ARC-CO payments on FSA farm units.

In most cases, this will not be an issue for 2014ARC-CO payments, since the advantage of re-calcu-

lating the payments is fairly straight-forward. The decision could be a bit

more tricky for 2015 ARC-CO pay-ments where there is significantly more uncertainty.

The bottom line is that the decision to re-calculate2014 and 2015 ARC-CO payments will not affect alarge percentage of farm operators. However, forthose producers that are affected, it is a very impor-

tant decision that could have a significant financialimpact, especially on 2014 ARC-CO payments. Farmoperators are encouraged to contact their local FSAoffice for more details.

This column was written for themarketing week ending Nov. 20.

Falling fluid sales are the least ofdairy farmer woes. Besides falling milk prices, thecourts are being readied again. You’ll recall that,

earlier this year, a Federal judge inWashington state handed down a rul-

ing that will have ramifications foragriculture across the country that involved severalYakima Valley dairy operations that were sued

under the Resource Conserva-tion and Recovery Act.

The judge ruled that anyapplied manure not taken upby plants would be considered“illegal dumping” and includedtheoretic leakage of lagoons.Those dairies settled out ofcourt but this issue is far fromover.

I talked about it in Friday’sDairyLine with Gerald Baronof Bellingham, Wash., who is a

consultant and executive director of Whatcom Fam-ily Farmers, a group formed in Whatcom County,located 100 miles north of Seattle and one of thecountry’s top 20 milk producing counties.

Baron reported that the same attorneys whopressed the case in eastern Washington have turnedtheir attention to Whatcom County and plan legalfilings against dairy operations there.

The attorneys “have an agenda that is very muchagainst dairy farming,” Baron charged, and hequoted from a transcript from the lead attorney whowarned “We are going to put the facts before thiscourt that is going to change the way that business isdone in this country because this industry is killingthis country in many different ways. It’s affectingpublic health. I don’t want to overstate that it’skilling but it’s affecting public health and sometimesdoes cause spontaneous abortions in pregnantwomen and in their own cattle if those nitrates areingested and it causes a significant impact to theenvironment.”

Baron said anyone who is in farming knows thatthere’s an impact on the environment but “in What-com County in particular, farmers have done an out-standing job following the 1998 Dairy Nutrient Man-agement Act, with careful stewardship of theenvironment and protecting water and it’s reallyupsetting to see this kind of attack on dairy.”

Baron says the group wants farmers and the agri-culture industry to watch what is happening inWhatcom County and to “help combat this very seri-ous threat.” He said that all local farmers areinvolved in this effort — dairy, berry, and potatofarmers — to “help protect farming and to help pre-serve a future for farming.” For more details, visitwww.whatcomfamilyfarmers.org.

On a brighter note, there’s more good news fromMcDonald's, which recently announced the switchfrom margarine to butter. The fast food giant willbegin offering mozzarella sticks nation-wide begin-ning in 2016. The Dairy and Food Market Analystsuggests that could mean the franchise will buy anadditional 15-25 million pounds of mozzarella cheesein the coming year.

No word yet of any other chain switching to butter.That will likely take time to accomplish and theymight not want to appear like they’re following theleader, but might others make the change and justpromote it on their menus.

MIELKE, from pg. 22U.S. milk production continues above year ago lev-

els though not bymuch but you’d haveto go back to March2013 to find a decline. The U.S. Department of Agri-culture reported October 2015 output in the top 23states at 16.0 billion pounds, up just 0.1 percentfrom October 2014. Revisions added 12 millionpounds to the preliminary September total, now putat 15.6 billion, up 0.5 percent. The October 50-stateoutput totaled 17.1 billion pounds, up 0.1 percent.

October cow numbers in the 23 states totaled 8.63million head, down 1,000 from September but38,000 head above a year ago. Output per cow aver-aged 1,857 pounds, down seven pounds from a yearago. Minnesota was up 1.8 percent on a 30-poundgain per cow.

HighGround Dairy’s Eric Meyer wrote: “Con-strained by very strong milk production last Octo-ber (up 3.7 percent vs. October 2013), the herd andmilk per cow declines this past month are cause fora bit of concern, particularly the acceleration ofWestern state production decreases. Therefore,HighGround is calling October’s Milk Productionreport bullish versus expectations.”

Cash cheese prices came under pressure the weekbefore Thanksgiving pulling Class III futures lower,to levels below $16 per hundredweight until July2016. Block cheese fell to $1.56 per pound Wednes-day, lowest level since March 27, but inched back upa penny Friday to close at $1.57, down a nickel onthe week and 16 cents below a year ago when theyplunged 21.25 cents after losing 25.75 cents theweek before that. The Cheddar barrels fell to$1.4150 Thursday, lowest level since Jan. 10, 2011,but rallied Friday, jumping 8.75 cents, and closed at$1.5025, up 3.5 cents on the week, but is 23.75 centsbelow a year ago. Seven cars of block traded handsthis week at the CME and 21 of barrel.

The weakening cheese prices are increasinglyhanging over Central cheese production schedulingdecisions, says Dairy Market News. “The ever-pres-ent factor of spot milk is at the core of the calcula-tions, especially with long holiday weekends aheadthis month and next. Milk availability has tight-ened, with some sellers being more aggressive inprice negotiations than is typical but sellers willhave more milk to move as the holidays approach.Negotiations are underway for holiday spot milk,with some cheese manufacturers countering milkseller offers of $2.00 to $3.00 under class, with $5.00under class.”

Cash butter held for a second straight week at$2.8850 per pound, 88.5 cents above a year ago,with two unfilled bids being the only activity. Cen-tral region butter production is steady, according toDairy Market News. Manufacturers' inventories arelight to moderate, with most indicating inventoriesare not worrisome. A number of Western processorssay their butter inventories are committed for therest of the year and most of the Thanksgiving butterdemand has passed.

Minneopa State Park,Mankato, Minn.

America bison once roamedacross most of Minnesota.According to the Minnesota

Department of Natural Resources,bison herds numbered between 30and 60 million head in NorthAmerica. Hunted to near extinc-tion by the late 1800s, the lastwild bison observed in Minnesotawas in Norman County in 1880.

Now you can see the magnificentbeasts once again at MinneopaState Park in Blue Earth County.On Sept. 25, 11 genetically rarebison were released into the parkin an effort to expand the Min-nesota Conservation Bison Herd.

Minnesota DNR and the Min-nesota Zoo are working together topreserve the American bison. Theherd will be grown from the 90-bison herd at Blue Mounds StatePark near Luverne, Minn., wherebison were reintroduced in 1961,to 500 head.

These bison are consideredgenetically rare because testingshows they are free of geneticmaterial from cross-breeding withcattle. Of the more than 500,000bison in North America, less than30,000 fit in this category.

The bison at Minneopa StatePark include cow-calf pairs andyearling bison heifers; some of thecows are bred and will calve nextspring. Eventually the herd willgrow to 30-40 bison, according tothe DNR.

Minneopa State Park is locatedoff U.S. Highway 169 and StateHighway 68, five miles west ofMankato. You can drive throughthe bison range to view the bison.Bison Drive winter hours are 9a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday-Sun-day or as staffing allows. BisonDrive will be closed on winter holi-days and during weather eventslike heavy rain or snowfall. Gatesclose daily at 3:30 p.m. sharp.
