Anoka County 4-H’er MichaelSymanski with hischicken Betty Louat the MinnesotaState Fair

As the new associate editor at TheLand, I was assigned a “Land Minds” col-umn. As a townie who lives in Mankato,Minn., I was fortunate that the first issueI got to work on was our 4-H issue.

My family is a member of the 4-HRiverbend Club of Blue Earth County. Myoldest daughter wanted to join, becauseshe had a friend in the club. I wasn’t surewe could fit in one more thing, but I’mglad we did.

As we enter our third year of 4-H (new-bies for sure), the monthly meetings andservice activities have become part ofour school year routine. The 4-H Campand Blue Earth County Fair bookendour summer.

During monthly meetings, 4-H youth conduct dem-ocratic meetings that follow the protocol used in cityhalls across the country. One service activity wasRake the Town in Mankato. Our kids got to help outand rake — a chore we don’t have in our neighbor-hood of young trees.

Above all, the 4-H philoso-phy of learning by doing is agood reminder in a worldwhere parents do too muchfor their kids. Many a time Ihave been guilty of doingchores that my kids shouldbe doing themselves: laun-dry, school lunches, dishesand more.

Often, it’s easier to do itmyself, but it’s more impor-tant to take the time andpatience to teach my threekids to load the dishwasher,make their bed and do thelaundry. Then I have to stand back and accept a jobmostly well done. In some areas, their standardsalready have exceeded mine.

As a parent, I have enjoyed watching 4-H demoday. Kids of all ages have shown me how to makepaper airplanes, French toast, oil paintings and Legocreations. My own children have demonstrated howto braid hair, draw comics and paint trees of cherryblossoms.

One of our favorite activities is the club supperwhen we take over a church basement and the kidscook for the club. Spaghetti was on the menu once.Under adult supervision, the kids made meatspaghetti sauce, boiled pasta, buttered garlic breadand mixed up a salad.

My husband, one of six siblings, told methat our kids should be cooking meals athome. He’s right. So for Mother’s Day, thekids made me a spaghetti dinner. I sat atthe counter and supervised while enjoyinga glass of wine. Thank you 4-H!

Learning by doing works for our family.Someday when the kids live on their own,they will have a pot of spaghetti, a sinkvoid of dirty dishes and a basket of cleanlaundry. The basics.Summer camp

The last two summers have begun with4-H sleepover camp at Camp Pattersonon Lake Washington. The girls packtheir bags and I check the packing list

until I drive them crazy. On the short ride to camp, Iask at least three times if they have their bathingsuits.

As I get them settled in their rustic cabins, theyquickly bid me goodbye so they can be on their own.Both years, they have looked up to their camp coun-

selors, who are 4-H teens.They look forward to one daybeing counselors themselves.

The campers spend thenext couple days doingcrafts, playing sports, swim-ming, canoeing, fishing andgathering around the bon-fire. No electronic devices areallowed. Entertainment issinging camp songs, whichmy girls sing at home andteach to their little brother.

When I pick them up fromcamp, they are tired, happyand filled with stories of newfriends and dining hall inci-

dents. Being early June, the weather can be cool andrainy. After the 2013 camp, my middle daughterboasted 27 mosquito bites.

The 4-H summer camp experience is timeless.County fair

Come August, my kids bring their projects to theBlue Earth County Fair 4-H building. They havebrought a painting of a cartoon character, a Legopyramid, a chocolate chip cookie experiment, photos,a self-portrait, a short story, and containers of mixedflowers that we managed to keep alive for threemonths before showing.

This summer, when we went to the fair for my

LAND MINDS, from pg. 2Adaughter to present a speech against mining in theBoundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, a goatwas on the loose in the 4-H building. We learnedthat you can’t chase a goat.

While we do not raise and show animals, we appreciatethe hard work and commitment by all the families whobring their animals to the fairgrounds and camp out forthe duration. My kids love to hold the baby chicks.

I feel the young showers’ pain when they have to

wear their boots and jeans in 90-degree heat. Andparents, I have seen the online forms you must com-plete when you show animals.

As a 4-H club, we work the Friday breakfast andlunch shift at the 4-H food stand. The kids takeorders, deliver traysof food and hand outbeverages. They alsowash tables, cleantrays and take outthe garbage. The highschool girls work themalt window.

Once again, 4-H ispreparing the kids forlife. The fast foodindustry providesmany jobs to first-time workers. Whilerestaurant work ishard work, it can alsobe fun, which is themain takeaway after ashift in the 4-H food stand.4-H for life

As 4-H members, we have formed and strength-ened friendships with club families as we volun-teered, raised money for the club, worked the foodstand or just had fun out at a member’s farm. We areall better for the experiences.

After all, 4-H values are values for life.“I pledge my head to clearer thinking, My heart to

greater loyalty, My hands to larger service, And myhealth to better living, For my club, my community,my country and my world.”

While we do notraise and showanimals, weappreciate thehard work andcommitment byall the familieswho bring theiranimals to thefairgrounds andcamp out for theduration.

The early morning wind rises with the sunfrom the east. Where I live, an east windblows change. There’s a meteorologicalexplanation for this, of course, but longbefore there was meteorology or meteorolo-gists, the east wind blew change.

The wind (it’s not a breeze) rattles the twoblack walnut trees in the far backyard andyellow leaves from the leaning pair whirl ina darting, up-and-down dance while I sipcoffee on the big wooden deck high abovethe yard.

I don’t know why walnut trees seem to bethe first to send up the yellow flags ofautumn around here but they always do,sometimes weeks before a hickory, maple,oak or linden catches the hint. In my native southernIllinois, that job was done by the cottonwoods andsycamores.

The big red oaks just to the left of my early morn-ing perch are, like last year, heavy with ripeningacorns. A lumpy carpet of green ones already littermy worn path to the mailbox. It wouldn’t be much ofa brag to say that this year’s acorn crop is, relativelyspeaking, as big as this year’s corn crop.

Lovely springs, wet Julys and mild Augusts will dothat for acorns. Corn, too.

And, this year, varmints.The three, 5-foot by 10-foot raised planting beds I

built near the woods this past spring have beenturned into late-night banquet tables for a suddensurge of tomato-eating groundhogs, rabbits, squir-rels, raccoons, opossum and deer. I now spot two par-tially-eaten Better Boys that have had their last bet-ter day.

The varmints are strict vegans, though, because

throughout the summer they have nottouched a record crop of plump, purpleeggplants.

This summer’s tomato raiders haveattracted another critter. Twice in thelast month, while slurping my morningcoffee, I’ve watched a red fox trot regallythrough my backyard on its early morn-ing rounds of what appears to be itsbackyard. Both times the small femalewalked so near to me that I see itswhiskers.

More leaves and more thoughts floatby.

I look around for Maggie, the oldfarmette dog, that shares these quiet

early mornings with me. She will not arrive. Shewent for her final, painful walk nearly two monthsago — I know, because I took her — but I’m still inthe habit of looking for her to sit with me to take ameasure, together, of each new day.

Like most farm-raised folk, I am not sentimentalabout livestock or pets. I am, however, not ready tolet go of Maggie’s 14 years of guarding jealously andloving generously the family that took her in. Inshort order, of course, it was she who took us in.

As I sit with coffee but no Maggie, a sparkling one-

liner by Mark Twain about dogs and their masterscomes to mind. “Heaven goes by favor,” Twain oncecracked, “if it went by merit, you would stay out andyour dog would go in.”

The wind builds and clouds begin to thicken in thesoutheast. More rain is coming.

This summer’s rain has made Illinois look like Ire-land. The only thing greener than the crabgrass inmy backyard is the alfalfa in my neighbor’s field. Hehas taken four cuttings already and a fifth — a rar-ity in this part of Illinois — is all but certain.

And, of course, given the good planting season anda near-perfect growing season, the corn and soybeancrops for miles and miles around me will be huge.Both are now turning the corner into harvest andthey, like my walnut trees, are showing September’scolors, not just June’s.

Only luck can bring a fall as mild and beautiful asthis summer, and winter is too far off to even careabout. But change is coming; you can feel it on thewind.

There’s a kind of farm that hascaught the imagination of the food-con-scious among us. It’s relatively small,and you know the farmer who runs it. It’s diverse,growing different kinds of crops and often incorpo-rating livestock. It may or may not be organic, but itincorporates practices — crop rotation, minimalpesticide use, composting — that are planet-friendly. Customers are local restaurants, local mar-kets and us: shoppers who buy into a farm share orvisit the farmers market.

There’s a lot to like about that kind of farm, andadvocates believe it’s the pattern for what our agri-culture ought to look like. The vision of small, diver-sified farms feeding the world, one community at atime, is a popular one. But is it a viable one?

I talked with a passel of people who either study(agricultural economist) or live (farmer) this issue,and there were a few ideas that generated enoughconsensus that I’m willing to call them facts.

1. Small, diversified farms are less efficient thanlarge ones. Which means that food grown on them ismore expensive. Marc Bellemare, an assistant pro-fessor in the University of Minnesota’s departmentof applied economics, calls farmers market produce“luxury goods,” and Tim Griffin, director of the Agri-culture, Food and Environment program at TuftsUniversity’s Friedman School of Nutrition Scienceand Policy, explains the dynamic simply: economy ofscale. “As the farms get larger, it’s easier to invest inlabor-saving machinery, technology and specializedmanagement, and production cost per unit goesdown,” he says. It’s Econ 101.

Even John Ikerd, professor emeritus of agricul-ture and applied economics at the University of

Missouri and an outspoken advocate ofthe idea that small organic farms ought

to feed the world — an idea Bellemarecalls “wishful thinking” — acknowledges that we’dneed many more farmers to make that happen, andthat food would be more expensive. How much moreexpensive is tough to estimate. Advocates of small-and-local tend to say not much(Ikerd guesses 6 to 8 percent), andskeptics tend to say quite a bit. Itwould undoubtedly vary signifi-cantly by region; areas that aredensely populated, where land isexpensive, or that have lousyweather, where food is hard togrow, would have higher prices.

2. Small, diversified farms bringbenefits to their communities. I’venever talked with anyone whothinks incorporating agricultureinto communities is a bad idea.Pretty much everyone seems to believe, as I do, thatthere’s value in having a place where people can takekids to pull a carrot out of the ground or come face toface with a pig. Local agriculture can contribute to asense of community and keep spaces open. It’s areminder to everyone that food doesn’t just appear,and that it’s only because somebody else is growingit that we’re freed up to be accountants or mechanicsor scientists. Or journalists.

3. Local’s market share is small. Very small. Under2 percent small. And the farmers market share isjust a fraction of that. Although farmers’ direct sales(through markets, farm stands and community-sup-ported agriculture programs, or CSAs) tripled from

1992 to 2007, from $404 million to $1.2 billion, theyleveled off afterward, growing to only $1.3 billionfrom 2007 to 2012 — despite a large increase in thenumber of farmers markets during that time, from4,685 in 2008 (there’s no 2007 data) to 7,864 in 2012.That’s 0.3 percent of total agricultural sales. Expand“local” to include sales that go through channels to

local restaurants and markets, andthe figure is larger: $4.8 billion in2007, the last year for which datais available, but still just over 1percent of total farm sales. (TheU.S. Department of Agriculture isplanning to release new data at theend of September, and I’ve seenindications that the number willincrease.)

4. Farmers selling directly totheir customers aren’t making aliving. The USDA defines “small” asa farm with gross sales under

$50,000, and 97 percent of the farms selling directlymeet that definition. But the overwhelming majority— 86 percent — don’t have even $10,000 in sales.These are clearly not operations that support farm-ers, and perhaps not the best pattern on which toplan the future of our agriculture.

5. Farms pollute, and large, chemical-intensivecommodity farms have damaged the environment.According to the Enivironmental Protection Agency,agriculture is the biggest source of pollution of lakesand rivers, and the recent shutdown of Toledo,Ohio’s, water supply because of toxins produced bybacteria is Exhibit A for agriculture’s environmentalimpact. That doesn’t mean that all large farms pol-lute, or that no small farm does, but when you havetens of thousands of acres of a two- or three-croprotation, with chemical fertilizers and pesticides asstandard operating procedure, there are bound to beproblems. (There are also animal welfare issues, butI’m leaving that important topic for another day andfocusing on crops.)

6. Large industrial farms grow primarily corn andsoy, which consumers buy as meat and processedfoods. And there’s a strong argument that thosefoods are making us fat and sick. But that’s not thefarmers’ fault. They grow what the market demands.If we want to fix that, and I think we should, we’d bebetter off talking to the government, which deter-mines subsidies; food manufacturers, who turn cropsinto what we actually eat; and consumers, who votewith their wallets.

Those are the major points, and although obviouslyeach is complicated, in aggregate, they boil down tothis: Small farms are inefficient but are more likelyto grow healthful foods and might be more environ-mentally friendly, while large farms are sometimesenvironmentally unfriendly but raise large amountsof food efficiently and affordably.

The idea that we should replace the large, pollut-ing farms with the small, diversified farms ignoreswhat might be the best solution: Get the large farmsto stop polluting.

There are some hopeful signs that it’s already hap-

COMMENTARY, from pg. 6Apening. Cover cropping and no-till farming, whichhelp improve soil health and reduce runoff, are onthe rise. Recent droughts have underscored theimportance of building up organic matter, which

retains water, in soil.The kind of farm that doesn’t get

talked about, and that may combine thebest of small and large, is what economists call “theag of the middle.” One of those farms, on 2,500 acres

in southern Minnesota, has been run byMatt Eischen’s family for generations.Eischen rotates sweet corn and peas,

which are contracted to become Birds Eye frozenvegetables, with field corn and soy. Growing peas,which go in early and mature in 60 days, sometimesallows him to double-crop his land. He samples 1.5-acre parcels and adds only the fertilizer that eachparcel needs to support the crop he’s intending togrow there. He practices no-till, and he plants grassstrips in low-lying areas, which act as a filter for anyrainwater running off the fields. In the fall, he putscattle out in the fields to eat the cornstalks, and heuses animal manure and crop residue to buildorganic matter in his soil. No, it’s not like the farmergrowing 10 acres of vegetables just outside town, butneither is it the stuff of Chipotle commercials.

As a small farmer, I see both sides of small. It’simmensely gratifying for my husband, Kevin, andme to bring people out to see our oysters, to showthem the different growth stages, to describe how webring them from pinheads to market size. Our visi-tors tell us that tasting an oyster right on the farm isa compelling, memorable experience.

But our size means that we do many jobs in a waythat is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Taketumbling, which we do to remove barnacles. Biggeroperations have stainless-steel tumblers that cancost thousands of dollars. We use a ’70s-era cementmixer Kevin found on Craigslist. And, like manysmall farmers, we drive a truck that’s well past thefirst blush of youth, and an 80-mile round trip in atruck that gets 14 miles to the gallon, all to drop off2,000 oysters at our wholesaler ... well, you do themath.

Small and large both have benefits. Saying weneed both isn’t some kind of namby-pamby, can’t-we-all-get-along compromise. It’s the optimal system,with each kind filling a different demand.

What if advocates on each side focused on gettingtheir own house in order? If you’re in the smallcamp, work on efficiency. Perhaps you can reconsiderorganic’s natural/synthetic line in the sand, whichincreases costs without benefiting either customer orenvironment. Down the line, think about incorporat-ing genetically modified crop varieties that are dis-ease- or drought-resistant. Find ways to cut back onwaste. And those in the large, why not make some ofthe basic organic-style practices, like cover croppingand no-till, standard? Consider a target level oforganic matter in the soil, to cut back on water use.How about strengthening the conservation practicesrequired for farms to receive federal dollars, evenlinking them to results like runoff reductions orincreased organic matter?

Ultimately, we all vote with our wallets, every day.The best way to get an environmentally sound sys-tem that grows healthful food is to buy healthfulfood from environmentally sound farms. And it does-n’t have to be farm stand kale. It could be frozenpeas.

The Youth Media Trip program, now in its thirdyear as a Minnesota State Fair event, has become agrowing attraction with 4-H’ers across the state,according to Anita Harris, University of MinnesotaExtension educator and manager of the media expe-rience program.

“This year 24 4-H’ers participated. Our goal is tohave at least one participant per county,” said Har-ris, explaining that the State 4-H Leadership Teamwanted to provide other opportunities for youthbeyond exhibiting at the State Fair livestock show.

Participants were briefed on the “5-W” fundamen-tals of journalism when developing a story: Who,What, Where, When and Why. Theyalso learned about the importanceof photography, developing a story’slead, how to conduct an interview,and making the story relevant tothe reader.

Each participant was writing aspecial story for their hometownnewspaper and providing State Fairphotos of their journalism adven-tures.

A big chore? “Well sort of, but creating a story

is fun and can be a very rewardingchallenge too,” said Emily Hack-barth, 15, from Silver Lake and aWright County 4-H’er.

Her story selection was educationand human interest.

“I will be interviewing 4-H’ers from my county. I’mlooking forward to the opportunity,” said Hackbarth.

She’s already a 10-year 4-H veteran with music edu-cation and communications in her collegiate future.She plans to attend Ridgewater Community Collegein Hutchinson before earning a bachelor’s degree.

These enterprising young journalists are notgraded on their writing skills. Instead, three experi-enced media presenters meet with the 24 youth thefirst day of the State Fair. They discuss the upcomingmedia trip each is about to embark on.

James Symanski, a 16-year-old from Coon Rapids,completed a few interviews prior to his visit with TheLand and was about to do more at the State Fair rab-bit show. His first day interviews were with coordina-tors of the livestock encampment for youth livestockexhibitors. He also planned to interview people whofeed the 4-H and FFA members, as well as some of the4-H participants in the livestock show. (Editor’s note:An excerpt from Symanski’s finished story, publishedin the Union Herald, appears on the following page.)

Symanski exhibited rabbits at the 2013 State Fair sohe is familiar with the hectic schedule of the youth show.Somewhat undecided about his education future, healready likes the idea of being a news reporter. Mediaand even becoming a meteorologist are of interest.

The following is an excerpt fromJames Symanski’s story, about hisbrother Michael, published in theUnion Herald, a Blaine-CoonRapids, Minn., weekly newspaper.Symanski participated in the 4-HYouth Media Trip at this year’sMinnesota State Fair.Anoka County youth competeat State Fair livestock show

The day started with a lightning storm atapproximately 5:55 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 21,2014, the first real day of the state fair. MichaelSymanski dragged himself out of bed, got dressedand went to go attend to his chickens, housed inthe poultry barn. At 6:15 am, he started off fromthe 4-H building and into the rain. All the birds inthe barn were making such a ruckus that it washard to hear anything over them. A quick cleanupof his chicken’s cage and Michael was alreadyheading back to the 4-H building where he relishedeating a delicious meal prepared by Dede Hardand her crew in the spacious cafeteria filled withmany other formerly famished 4-H’ers. ThenMichael went back to the barns to start preparingfor the day that would turn out to be beautiful.

Through lightning storms and humidity, beatingsun and heat, the 4-H state fair livestock encamp-ment never stopped. The encampment ran from

Aug. 19-24 at The Minnesota State Fair. Therewere 2,862 4-H’ers who spent four nights in thefairgrounds participating in a multitude of showsand competitions, learning and experiencing fromevents like the Dairy Showcase to the poultryshow. Youth compete at their county level in orderto win a trip to the state fair, where the stakes arehigher and the contenders tougher.

All types of livestock are shown at the fair duringthe encampment; there are dairy cows that producemilk, and beef cattle that are raised so that you canhave hamburgers for dinner. Swine and sheep areplentiful in all their different varieties and types.Goats, which also come in dairy and meat varieties,allowed eight youth to participate at the state level,from Anoka County. In total, Anoka County wasrepresented by 26 youth from all over the AnokaCounty area, ten of whom participated in either thepoultry or rabbit show.

The poultry show was the first show of the entirefair, where many different birds were presented.Ducks, turkeys, and geese were the larger fowl inthe show. There were also more uncommon poultrylike doves that seemed like they came straight froma fairytale and Guineas which are about the size of achicken, have a horn on their head, and make anoise much like a squeaky toy with a sore throat. Anendless number of different types of chickens, fromflashy show breeds with crowns of feathers on their

heads to birds bred and raised for eggs or meat,were the most common type of poultry in the barn.

Michael, a 14-year-old 4-H’er from Coon Rapids,won his trip with his brown egg laying set of BlackStars. A brown egg laying set is two hens that ide-ally are in the peak of their production and laybrown eggs. He won a blue ribbon with his chick-ens at the State Fair and received a callback forshowmanship.

“Which I wasn’t expecting,” Michael said afterthe show.

Showmanship is when youth are judged on theirknowledge of their animal. He didn’t get to go tothe round that would determine who would be thechampion and reserve champion, but he com-mented later that he got “a blue ribbon for mychickens that I am very grateful for because I wasscared to get a red.”

To prepare for the big show, Michael had to washhis chickens to ensure that they were nice andclean. He also had to administer Vaseline to the wat-tles and combs of his birds so that they would be inhealthy condition for the show. The wattles are thered fleshy protuberances on a chicken’s neck, andthe comb — as Michael described it is “a little dilli-tybob on the head that’s like … A little mohawk.”

Michael went on to the next round of showman-ship, but didn’t go any farther than that.

James Symanski

YOUTH MEDIA, from pg. 9AThanks to 4-H, Symanski is aware of the growing

importance and scope of agriculture. His ventureraising and showing rabbits at the 2013 State Fairhelped groom him for interviewing rabbit showexhibitors at the 2014 State Fair.

Symanski understands that curiosity is the startingpoint for conducting a good interview.

“I have some questions in my mind before I start.But when they answer a few of my questions thatusually generates more questions and more informa-tion. Often I’m asking what I would like to learnmyself,” said Symanski.

He’s excited about his State Fair journalism adven-ture since this was his first published article, alwaysa source of pride for aspiring writers. ❖

Questions in mind


As the saying goes, “What goesaround comes around.”

And so it did for Delta Air Lines pilotShawn Hokuf, a judge in the 4-H Aero-space Model Airplane/Rocketcompetition at the 2014 Min-nesota State Fair.

In the early 1980s, Hokufwas building his own modelairplane projects and won atrip to the 4-H State FairModel Airplane competition.Now he’s back judging in thevery same category, albeit acategory that has expanded to includea rocket competition.

“The judge when I was a State Fairexhibitor was a Northwest pilot. Hemade a big impression on me and alsoinvited our family out to Fleming Field(South St. Paul Municipal Airport) tosee the restoration projects they weredoing on WWII aircraft for CAF (Com-memorative Air Force),” said Hokuf, ofSt. Paul. “He also made an impressionon my younger brother who went on to

start Air Corps Aviation in Bemidji.They are now one of the world’s topWorld War II restoration companies.”

Sharing some background, Hokufreflected that previously this categoryat the State 4-H show simply involved

judging the appearance of eachproject. But it has evolved intomore of a learning experience,which is called ConferenceJudging. Rather than inter-viewing and judging each indi-vidual 4-H’er in this category,they have a large table at whichare seated all the 4-H entrantsin the Model Airplane/Rocketcompetition.

“This way we can all learn from eachother and get some practice in publicspeaking plus a learning experiencediscussing their projects. Both wejudges and the 4-H kids get somelearning. These are very bright youngpeople. They like being mentally chal-lenged,” said Hokuf, who noted thatover the years the number and work-manship of these projects has declined.

Pilot comes full circle as 4-H aerospace judge

Dick Hagen

Since Shawn Hokuf competed in the Model Airplane competition as a youth atthe Minnesota State Fair, the category has expanded to include model rocketryas well. A commercial airline pilot judged the competition then, inspiring Hokuf tobecome a pilot as an adult and give back to 4-H by becoming a judge himself.

See AEROSPACE, pg. 12A

AEROSPACE, from pg. 11AHokuf attributes this to fewer kids

being adept at creatively workingwith their hands. However, he indi-cated there is always a project or two

that is impressive with exceptionalworkmanship and creativity.

“The common thread seems to beparental involvement,” Hokuf said.

He sees 4-H having significant

impact in the lives of young people.“The fundamental premise of 4-H is

learning by doing,” he said. “Thatmeans building something or creatingsomething by yourself with your handsand your own mental skills. Plus youlearn the importance of record keep-ing, including both time and moneyspent on a particular project. All thoseskills play into the picture and help setthe stage for your success in life.”

Despite the stereotype, buildingmodel airplanes and rockets isn’texclusively the world of young men. Infact, Hokuf said that in recent yearshe’s often awarded a purple ribbonAward of Excellence to quite a fewyoung women excited about the worldof aviation.

As a 1990 graduate of Bemidji HighSchool, Hokuf was nominated by Con-gressman Arlan Stangeland to be acandidate for the U.S. Air Force Acad-emy in Colorado Springs, Colo., fromwhich he graduated in 1995. After afew years in the Air Force, Hokufentered commercial aviation. Today heis a Delta Air Lines pilot, flying a Boe-ing 767. He lives in St. Paul, but he isbased out of John F. Kennedy Interna-

tional Airport in New York, N.Y., fromwhence his many international flightsdepart.

Hokuf said that flying around theworld at 40,000 feet gives him a lot oftime to think. “Every time I fly to a for-eign country I realize how fortunate Iam to be an American,” he said.

Speaking of flying to foreign coun-tries, 10 years ago Hokuf and his wifeflew to Moscow. Their mission? Toadopt their daughter Anya, now 12years old, from an orphanage. ❖

In an era when kids are consumed by socialmedia and video games, the Minnesota State4-H program is holding its own based onattendance and participation in the Min-nesota State Fair.

“Numbers are constant from year to year,partly because we have a quota system onhow many kids we can accommodate here atthe State Fair,” said Brad Rug, State 4-H Superinten-dent.

This year 5,656 4-H members participated. Everycounty is represented, with delegations varying from10 per county to well over 100 4-H’ers from somecounties. These figures include livestock and generalencampment participants, he noted.

A total encampment of about 6,000 is likely to per-sist unless accommodations are increased. State Fair4-H participation is somewhat land-locked becauseof limited food and housing accommodations, whichincludes two University of Minnesota dormitories,available since classes haven’t yet started, said Rug.

Total State 4-H enrollment has hovered around32,000 for the past 4-5 years, he said.

Traditionally outstate Minnesota has higher par-ticipation at the State Fair, but strong livestockentries are also coming from metro area countiesincluding Dakota and Washington, said Rug. Most ofthe bigger numbers still come from livestock countiesincluding Freeborn, Steele, Goodhue and Stearns.

When it comes to general project areas,Anoka County often sends the most kids toState Fair. According to Rug, 4-H is definitelygrowing in the metro area, as well as specialaudiences.

“We now have a 4-H group working withinthe Somali community,” noted Rug.

With all volunteers screened, 4-H is able toattract capable leadership in the Twin Cities

area, he said.Perhaps a few more gals than guys are joining 4-H

each year with general encampment of State Fairattendees running about 60/40 male to female cur-rently.

In the livestock category, the gender ratio is closerto 50-50, said Rug. The unique exception is horseswith the big Minnesota 4-H Horse Show, also at theState Fair grounds.

“Because this show is heavily dominated by horsepeople from the Metro Area, about 90 percent of our4-H participants in this fall show are girls,” said Rug.

When it comes to livestock, poultry is a growingcategory.

“Quietly the poultry sector has seen the biggestincreases in recent years,” said Rug. “Enrollment hasgone up 20 percent, partly because there is a bigmovement to raising urban birds. Because statedairy herds have declined 40 percent in the last 13years, you’d expect significant declines in our 4-H

State 4-H program going strongGrowth in metro counties, poultry category


Brian Prchal, 17, a 4-H’er fromMontgomery, Minn., showed mar-ket poultry at the Minnesota StateFair. He had a pair of Cornish-Rockcross-bred birds, each weighingnine-and-a-half pounds.

Prchal admitted that normally youdon’t grow market poultry that big,but because the State Fair was in late August, theseJune 9 hatched birds had a longer growing period.

Prchal grinds his own grain, a 3-to-1 ratio of corn-to-protein concentrate. Normal market weight forthese birds would be 7-to-8 pounds for the heavy-weight class and 5-to-6 pounds for the lightweightclass. He sees a growing market for meat-type poul-try, especially in the fast food industry. He has 45birds back home soon ready for processing with themeat being shared amongst three families

“I’m seeing more chicken salads and chicken sand-wiches at our local fast food eateries. They’re raisingprices on their beef sandwiches so I see a strongdemand for chicken,” said Prchal.

Even though he’s raising market poultry, the SouthDakota School of Mines is high on his choice of col-lege because he wants to be a mechanical engineer.

He loved his State Fair experience of bringing hisbirds in on Aug. 20 and showing them the followingday. From Aug. 22-24, he had the opportunity to “justlook around and enjoy the Fair.”

Prchal got to bring his big birds to the State Fairbecause they were blue ribbon champions at his LeSueur County Fair. But the State Fair judge decidedhis birds were a bit too heavy so red ribbons resulted.

After the State Fair, Prchal was headed for Califor-nia because his science fair project — which involvedapplying waste water bio-solids to switchgrass plotsand bio-energy plots — earned him the trip.

“My idea was to see if wastewater bio-solids wouldmake switchgrass more productive by making itmore efficient,” he said. “I used 11 different varietiesof switchgrass in small containers and a bio-energyplot in the field called CT25, which is a mixture ofdifferent flowers, grasses and legumes. The wholeidea is to make a well-balanced ecosystem.”

His legumes did well due to the slow release of thenutrients from the bio-solid materials (a.k.a. com-post, or sludge), especially the slow release of nitro-gen, Prchal said. He also noted that it helped retainsoil moisture.

“All in all, I learned the bio-solids did help the soiland the plants. I’ve been doing science fair projects foreight years so this is a great reward,” Prchal said. ❖

GROWTH, from pg. 14Adairy program but we’re down just10.5 percent.”

Rug noted that metrokids are teaming upwith livestock farmersin breeding programs,but not so much in themarket livestock cate-gory.

“Our leased programwhich allows metro kidsto work with area live-stock farmers, eventhough the kids don’town the animal, is a bigprogram and growingeach year,” he said.

Because of the grow-ing disconnect between farm and non-farm folks, 4-H has tailored some StateFair events to address this issue.

“We call it our Livestock QualityAssurance and Ethics program andpart of that lesson includes what wecall ‘Speak up for Animal Agriculture’which gets to the very heart of this dis-connect issue,” said Rug.

For instance, at the State 4-H Live-stock Show, each species has a three-

hour segment with a focus on con-sumers. They set up fun and educa-tional activities in the livestock barnsso consumers can view the livestock

business up close.Porcine epidemic diar-

rhea virus, the dreadedswine disease, appar-ently did not impact 4-H pigs at the State Fair.

“Our swine numberswere down only 13 headof nearly 500 total,” Rugsaid. “But we also puttogether a good educa-tional campaign aroundthis disease issue. Pluswe had cash incentivesfor 4-H kids to do PEDdemonstrations at their

local level and here at the State Fair.“Pigs are hard to demonstrate

because they don’t have halters. Butyet our increase in swine demonstra-tions went up 1,000 percent. I give thekids credit — They don’t back awayeven though some demonstrationsrequire some pig handling they’venever done before.”

Rug said there is still big money forchampion livestock at the Minnesota

State Fair.“This year’s total auction dollars

totaled nearly $500,000,” he said. “Idon’t yet have final figures. About 110kids were involved with livestock for

that auction. Those dollars are a newrecord. Top market steer brought$20,000 as opposed to $17,000 lastyear. The champion market barrowdid $10,000.” ❖

Rumor has it that Sweet Martha’sCookie Jar chocolate chip cookies arethe Minnesota State Fair’s biggestseller year after year. But maybe...just maybe... Brad Ribar’s Corn Roaststand would be a close second.

Corn on the cob never tastes betterthan sweet corn from this State Fairvendor.

And sweet it is, indeed. The varietyhe serves — “Marai” — was developedin Japan. It does, in fact, have incred-ible sweetness. And equally impor-tant, it maintains its character afterbeing cooked on the propane-firedroasters at Ribar’s unique food stand.

His grower, Jerry Untiedt, a WrightCounty, Minn., corn grower, handpicks each day for delivery to the fair-grounds.

In a private interview with TheLand, Ribar said this was their 30thyear at the State Fair. He reflected, “Iwas working at the Fair and saw afood product that just blew me away.It was roasted corn, and once I tried itI had to do it.”

So how much corn on the cob getseaten at the State Fair? Last year itwas in the 180,000-ear range, accord-ing to Ribar. This year with a newState Fair record attendance, hisCorn Roast stand also set a newrecord — slightly over 200,000 ears.

“We were tremendously pleased,”

said Ribar in a Sept. 3 brief telephoneinterview. It was brief because he andhis family crew were heading toSpencer, Iowa, for the Clay CountyFair, billed as the world’s largestCounty Fair.

His menu for the crowds in Spencerwas a bit different — cheese curds andfresh-cut French fries from potatoesjust harvested.

Yep, it takes some labor to run a cornstand at the State Fair. Ribar said theyhire about 100 kids for the 12-day runwith about 55-60 working at one time.

This means lugging the bags of cornfrom a refrigerated truck to the cornroasting area; then shucking down tojust a couple of leaves are stillwrapped around each ear; then placingears into revolving trays of the eightupright roasters; then placing freshlyroasted ears from upright roasters tothe horizontal “tempering” grill.

The remaining leaves are thenshucked back, the roasted ear is butterdipped, and finally handed to eagercustomers with a paper napkinwrapped around the butt end of theear. The remaining corn husks providea bit of a handle for hungry fair-goers.It’s not exactly “on-a-stick” food, butyou get the idea.

Ribar’s clan includes his two daugh-ters, two local nephews, plus threemore nephews who come up from Ari-zona. So far nobody has gone on strike.

CORN ROAST, from pg. 16AYou sense a bit of joy amongst his crewof young laborers. In fact, occasionallythey even break into a chant about thejoys of sweet corn.

His biggest challenge when you’refeeding hundreds of thousands StateFair attendees? He hesitated a bitbefore answering, suggesting thatkeeping the crew happy, especiallywhen customers are lined up 100 feetfrom the serving counter, is a concern.

“But I’m always surprised andpleased how young people will worktogether to keep each other happy,” hesaid, “despite the heat and humiditythat so often is part of the environ-ment under our big tent.”

His price for arguably the world’sbest sweet corn? Three dollars per ear,the same, Ribar said, as he did nineyears ago. If you figure 24 ears perbushel, it adds up to a $72 bushel, a farcry from the price farmers can get fromthe corn in their grain bins.

“Granted, but not this corn,” saidRibar, smiling. “It’s something specialand no one complains.”

Looking back, he said their sweetcorn stand has far exceeded expecta-

tions when they got the okay by theState Fair Board to set up there.

“It’s become such a popular item,”Ribar said. “We’ve got corn roasting at8 a.m. The Fair officially opens eachday at 9 a.m. and we’ve got folks stop-ping by eating sweet corn for break-fast.”

They’re still selling corn at 11 p.m.when grandstand crowds are exiting —just one more bite of State Fair sweetcorn seems to work as people walk totheir bus stops and parking lots.

It seems likely that future genera-tions will continue to enjoy Ribar’sCorn Roast.

“My kids love it. This is part of theirlives,” he said. “They grew up here, soto speak, just like I did, so I imaginethe Minnesota State Fair will be onour agenda for a long time. Plus theobvious — it’s paying tuition for a lot ofour workers, too.”

He doesn’t expect many changes inthe future, other than always keepingan eye out for even tastier corn. “Noth-ing other than to keep looking for abetter variety. We’re extremely happywith this. But Jerry tells me the seed isextremely hard to get. It’s an expen-

sive seed. Jerry is always testing othervarieties.”

Ribar has tried to get into the IowaState Fair with his sweet corn offeringbut, surprisingly, the Iowa State FairBoard doesn’t it would be a big sellerthere.

Naturally, Ribar disagrees, suggest-ing that perhaps Iowa’s fair boardmembers should venture north to seefor themselves what happens at the

Minnesota State Fair.Despite the huge throngs of cus-

tomers at his Corn Roast stand, Ribarsaid sweet corn is a tough sell atsmaller county fairs and other events.

“Some people will stop for an ear ortwo, and then they’ve left,” he said.“So it’s unpredictable until you getentrenched like we are here at theState Fair. We get on their ‘shoppinglist’ just like other food stands.” ❖

If the Miracle of Birth center at the MinnesotaState Fair ranks No. 1 in popularity, very likely theButterfly House is No. 2.

Now in its 19th year, this spa-cious tent-like structure houses aflurry beautiful butterflies and is,in fact, the “birthing center” tothousands of new butterflies dur-ing the 12-day State Fair run.

David Bohlken created the origi-nal Butterfly House. He grew up ona farm that grew Christmas trees.They used a pesticide that killed everything but theChristmas trees and the milkweeds.

“On a warm July afternoon you could literallyhear the millions of butterflies eating the milk-weeds,” he said. “I saw a magazine article about but-terfly houses in Europe and thought, ‘Why not trythat in the United States?’”

So he did.Bohlken got permission from the Minnesota State

Fair Board to put up a temporary display housingbutterflies, the first such display in America.

“We try to have about 5,000 at any given time,” hesaid. “There are about 12 different varieties, thoughMonarch is the most popular and most dominant.Many look quite similar but they’re tough, big but-terflies that can take a little bit of handling.”

He said that introducing more native Americanspecies is their growing goal, and the U.S. govern-ment is helping him do just that. U.S. Departmentof Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced a

grant to propagate more native butterflies, includingthe Monarch.

“(On Aug. 25) a petition was launched to make theMonarch butterfly an endangered species, which Idon’t believe is going to happen,” said Bohlken, whonoted that the Monarch is still a species of very spe-cial concern.

He said the big migrations of this beautiful insectare pretty much history. Partly to blame, he said, isthe release of thousands of Conservation ReserveProgram acres back into cultivated crop production,as well as logging in Mexico, which has largely dev-

Approximately 5,000butterflies occupy theButterfly House at theMinnesota State Faireach year.

BUTTERFLIES, from pg. 18Aastated their winter grounds.

“It’s a very complicated issue,” saidBohlken.

These are short-lived creatures, nor-mally lasting only around 10-14 days,he said. In the Butterfly House at theState Fair, they live longer because hishelpers take good care of them, andpredators can’t get at them.

“This is the only butterfly house inthe world where we encourage the peo-ple to touch the butterflies,” Bohlkensaid. “This is an opportunity for urbanchildren to pickup up a ‘wild animal’for the first time in their life.”

He estimated they get about 65,000paid visitors, with another 240,000 to340,000 viewing through the hugescreened siding.

Bohlken sets up his unique displayat up to 20 large events, including theIowa State Fair, the Houston Rodeo,and several events in Canada andbeyond.

“In the winter season we are undercontract with the Dutch Bulb growerswhere we do their winter garden shows,”he said. “Plus this year we’re doing threeshows in Minnesota — here at the StateFair, a show at the Minnesota LandscapeArboretum, and also at the MinnesotaScience Museum in October.”

The new pro-pollinator emphasis bythe Minnesota Department of Agricul-ture is vitally important to the butter-

fly species, said Bohlken.“Butterflies, like bees, are an

extremely important pollinator,” hesaid. “One out of three bites of food youput in your mouth comes from a polli-nator directly. With the exception ofcertain grains which are air polli-nated, pollinators are going to be a big-ger and bigger issue as time moves on.Drought, climate change, urbanizationare factors much like pesticides in thisongoing challenges.”

These are complicated issues, saidBohlken; “We’re not yet smart enoughto figure out what to do.”

He said that nothing in the worldcomes close to matching the magni-tude of the Minnesota State Fair andthe great butterfly exhibit at this 12-day “Get-Together.” That’s sayingsomething in view of the fact that hedoes exhibits in Iceland, Dubai, Mexicoand elsewhere.

Bohlken said butterflies aren’timportant just as things of beauty andnecessary for pollination.

“They turn carbohydrates into proteinsand they will feed some of the other ani-mals that control some of the nuisancepests like aphids and other insects thatcan be a problem, even in vineyards,” hesaid. “But the one thing about butterfliesis that everybody loves them. I don’t losesight of the fact that they are insects, butthey are incredibly beautiful.”

And even though they may only live asbeautifully winged creatures for a cou-

ple of weeks, Bohlken noted that they dolive longer — just in different life stages,starting as an egg, then larvae stage,then cocoon and eventually a butterfly.

Butterflies may not have a value incorn production, but Bohlken sug-gested that as new genetics developnew crop species, they will be morefriendly to native wildlife.

What do the butterflies eat duringtheir brief State Fair romp?

“Visitors that come into the Butter-fly House are given Q-tips dipped inGatorade and bananas,” he said. “But-terfly junk food, we call it. That keepsthe butterflies hydrated, nourishedand keeps them in front of the peopleinstead of under their feet.”

So far no State Fair “butterfly-on-a-stick” food is available, but Bohlkenpointed out that “scorpion-on-a-stick”was being served right next door. ❖

Fall, to many, is a beautiful time of year as the num-ber of mosquitos and gnats decrease, however home-owners find unwanted bugs in or around their home.

The boxelder bugs begin to gather outside of somehomes in large numbers. Another unwanted guestthat congregates in and around the home are theAsian beetles. The Asian beetles are the multi-col-ored beetles often mistakenly called lady bugs.

Both of these insects are seeking out a site tooverwinter, and unfortunately many of them findtheir way into the home. These home invaders donot feed or reproduce in the home, but are definitelyan annoyance.

Boxelder bugs are easily identified by their blackand deep-orange or bright-red colors; their wingslay flat on their bodies. The adult boxelder bugs arecapable of flying several blocks and sometimes mayeven fly further than that. The boxelder bugs likesunny areas and are attracted to buildings with alot of southern exposure. As weather cools, theseinsects will push into cracks and enter houses nearthe foundations. Many crawl under shingles and getinto wall voids and attics. They also may enterthrough doors, windows, vent openings and otheraccessible areas.

Populations of the boxelder bug vary each yearand in each area. Environmental conditions oftenplay a role in population numbers, such as warm,dry summers seem to lead to larger populations ofboxelder bugs. The life cycle of this bug consists ofreproducing and feeding on boxelder, maple and ash

trees. During late summer andfall, boxelder bugs begin leavingthe trees to find protected areasfor the winter.

The multi-colored Asian ladybeetles have been a nuisance andannoyance for many years. Ini-tially introduced to be a biologicalcontrol of aphids, populationsappear to be more concentratednear agricultural fields. Unlikethe common lady beetle, or lady-bug, the multi-colored Asian ladybeetles like to overwinter in largenumbers in and around buildings.

Another advantage the Asian beetle has is onceinside the home they emit a chemical to attract oth-ers, which can lead to hundreds if not thousands ofunwanted visitors. Sometimes their presence isn’tdiscovered until the following spring when tempera-tures begin to warm up, though entry occurred theprevious fall.

Effective control begins outdoors. Carefully inspectand then seal up any potential entry points withcaulk, sealant, or screening. Both insects need only avery small opening to enter the home, so it is impor-tant to check all possible entry points and take thetime to seal them up.

If populations are too great for your level of toler-ance, residual insecticide can be used. Carefully readand follow all product directions before using aroundthe exterior of the home. Because the insects tend tolike the warm, sunny conditions focus your efforts onthe south and west sides of your home. The best timeto spray is when you first observe the insects cluster-

ing around the outside of yourhome or other building beforethey begin finding entry points.Effective insecticides that areavailable to the public includebifenthrin, cyfluthrin,cyhalothrin, deltramethrin, per-methrin and tralomethrin. Thereare many trade names for thesechemicals, simply read the“Active Ingredients” on the label.

Another option to control box-elder bugs with some effect isusing a soap mixture. Mix 1/2 cupof a liquid laundry detergent in a

gallon of water in a hand sprayer or squirt bottle. Itis important to test this mixture first on an incon-spicuous spot before applying it to the entire area,this will ensure the product won’t stain or discoloryour home. Apply a coarse spray directly on the bugsas often as necessary.

It is important to note that the soap mixtureaffects only those boxelder bugs that are sprayedand does not prevent other bugs from returning tothe site. Soap mixtures are not effective in control-ling multi-colored Asian lady beetles.

Unfortunately once these pests get inside, the onlypractical control is to remove them by hand or with avacuum cleaner. The use of insecticides indoors isnot effective and is not recommended.

Standing outside of a con-venience store, travelbrochures spread wide overthe back of our motorcycles,the goal was to make ournext stop a motel. While theguys made phone calls seek-ing rooms, and Melissa wentfor caffeine, I ignited smalltalk with a local. Surely shecould recommend a motel inRed Lodge, Montana.

She quickly rated the oneson our list and ended with awarning. “Be careful driving throughBeartooth Pass,” she said. “A motorcy-clist flipped over a guardrail today andwas airlifted to Billings.”

Did we need to know that? She reallycould’ve stopped her story after roomrates.

Once settled in at the motel, Mikeand Mitch sat outside soaking inscenery and making small talk withother bikers. “You have a good day?”Mike asked the guy to his left.

“Not so much,” the guy, who wasnamed Don, said. “My buddy hit theguardrail on Beartooth Pass today andwas flown to Billings.”

Seriously? Do we need this story veri-fied in the flesh?

Don’s friend would recover, but hiscycle was a mess, and he was sitting onthis news. Don was forbidden to tell hisbuddy’s wife, because the wife had for-

bidden her husband afterthe last accident to everride a motorcycle again.I’m thinking Don’s friendcould’ve saved himself aheap of hurt and bills hadhe listened to his wife. Justsaying.

Don went on to say thathe still rides, even thoughhe is an accident survivortoo.

You can’t make this stuffup.

Awhile back, Don was riding hismotorcycle in Minneapolis when a carstopped dead in front of him. Don’sfront wheel nailed the bumper, whichflipped him on top of the car roof. Hewas fine, but the driver freaked. Thecar swerved all over the road trying tolose whatever used its roof for a land-ing strip.

Although Don was white-knuckled tothe roof, the wind lifted his legs anddropped him into oncoming traffic. Helooked up, saw a car heading for hishead, and rolled safely in the ditch. Hisfirst thought? “I’m alive.”

Mike spoke his first thought. “Maybeyou should’ve taken that as a sign tostop riding motorcycles?”

Don laughed.I wondered, “After a made-for-movies

accident, is it insanity or bravery thattakes a guy back to his bike?”

In her book, “Let’s All Be Brave – Liv-ing Life with Everything You Have,”Annie Downs writes about her favoriteSteven Curtis Chapman song, “Burnthe Ships.” In the song, Chapmanretells the story about the Spaniardswho sailed for Mexico in 1519.Although they made it to the Mexicanshore, the hardships of the new placemade their hearts long for home.“Instead,” Downs writes, “they decidedto burn their ships. Stay there forever.

And figure out what that life wouldhold.

“Brave.”Being brave may look a bit different

for each of us. Sometimes it’s sayingyes and getting back in the driver’sseat after an accident. Sometimes it’ssaying no to what you want, to honorsomeone you love. Sometimes it’sbrave to call it quits and make a newbeginning, and other times the bravestmove is to stay planted in the hardspace you call home. Very often, it’slooking fear in the face, burning yourships, and doing the thing in your gutthat you know you’ve been called todo, no matter where it leads or howdifficult the journey.

If that sounds like your crossroads,take a deep breath of courage and dothis thing. Be brave.

The 2014 Minnesota duck huntingseason opener is just around the cor-ner, and one doesn’t have to be an oldtimer to remember a time when open-ing was as much a social event as anopportunity to hunt.

The traditional noon opener that hadbeen in effect for years meant therewas plenty of time to socialize, to travelto town to eat breakfast, kibitz withother hunters, before heading out to a

local duck haunt to claim of spot beforelegal shooting time rolled around.

But moving the legal shooting time inrecent years — first to 9 a.m. and morerecently to the existing half-hourbefore sunrise — has made such aleisurely, social approach just a pleas-ant memory.

Opening day now is pretty muchbusiness as usual, right out of the gate.

Certainly, one half-hour before sun-

rise is prime time for killingducks, particularly on open-ing day. But arguably, someof the more endearing socialaspects that came with anoon opener have been lost.

The Nicollet ConservationClub, always a hub of socialactivity among hunters inand out of season, hopes thisyear to restore a bit of thesocial aspect to opening day,albeit at the back end ratherthan the front end of the hunt.

The club will host a Hunt for Habitaton Sept. 27, the opener of Minnesota’sduck hunting season.

In a nutshell, pre-registered, two-man teams of hunters will hunt theirducks as usual.

Obviously, all stateand federal regula-tions must be fol-lowed with requiredlicenses and stampsin hand.

Otherwise, hunterscan hunt anywherethey choose.

Naturally, it can beSwan Lake, the10,000-acre water-fowl mecca foundright outside theNicollet Conserva-tion Club’s frontdoor.

But it also could beMiddle Lake, a nearby stream or river,even a private pond on the back 40.

The only requirement is regardless ofwhere hunters choose to hunt, they willneed to bring their birds back to theclub site west of Nicollet before 5 p.m.on the Saturday of the opener to be tal-lied by judges.

After all hunters’ bags are registered,a club member then will roll a die todetermine the point value of the vari-ous species.

For instance, if a six is rolled for teal,each teal will be worth six points; if afour turns up for mallards, then everymallard in a hunter’s bag will be worthfour points.

Depending on the roll of the die, val-ues of 1-6 will be awarded for the vari-ous duck species. Geese, coot or mer-gansers will not be scored.

The team with the highest totalpoints will be the winner. Ties will bedecided with a dice roll, high roll tak-ing the honors.

Club member MikeStevensen said inspirationfor the event came from anarticle he saw in DeltaWaterfowl’s quarterly maga-zine that highlighted asmall North Dakota commu-nity’s efforts to create asocial event out of a duckhunting opener.

“In that contest, huntersalso were drawn for huntingspots the night before, some-

thing that we obviously aren’t able todo around here,” he said.

The North Dakota event concludedwith an evening banquet hosting par-ticipating landowners and hunters.

While no such soiree is planned forthis tournament, the club still ought to

be a hub of socialactivity on the end ofopening day.

Plucking and wax-ing stations will beavailable to cleanbirds. Hunters areadvised to bringtheir own bags and,of course, abide byall bird dressingrequirements tolegally transportthem.

The entry fee is$40 per team with a60 percent paybackof all entry fees.

However, the real point of the Huntfor Habitat, besides a good time, is tobenefit waterfowl habitat.

The remainder of the money will beplowed back into habitat projects onSwan Lake, mainly for over-water nest-ing baskets.

“We’ve already got over 100 of themout there, and it’s unbelievable howducks have taken to them,” Stevensensaid. “Usage of them by waterfowl hasbeen in the high 90-percent-rate rightout of the gate.”

Registration can be done at the CabinBar in Nicollet or by calling Just AskRental, (507) 625-4500 and asking forTom Neubert or calling MikeStevensen at (507) 381-5778.

The deadline for registering for theevent is 9 p.m., Friday, Sept. 26.

Looking head to head witha sunflower can be an exhil-arating experience. One canclearly view the intricatespiraling patterns the seedsform. Most plants featuresuch spirals and they corre-spond exactly to mathemati-cal principals that havebeen captivating artists andphilosophers throughouthistory.

Fibonacci was a youngmath geek born in A.D.1170. (Yes, they had math geeks wayback then.) He made the discovery ofsequencing numbers and extendingthem in a series. In the case of thesunflower, its spiral of 34 seeds arch-ing in one direction and 55 in theother, or 55 followed by 89, or 89 fol-lowed by 144, are examples ofFibonacci numbers. And 144 dividedby 89 equals 1.6179775… . Helianthusis the genus of the sunflower. Helios isa Greek term for the sun, hence thename sunflower. A widely-held beliefis that sunflowers turn their heads tofollow the sun. This is not true. Their

heads droop down facingthe ground to facilitatetheir seeding capability.

The horticulture exhibitat the county fair is thefirst place I visit. The dis-play of sunflowers withtheir big heads almost tip-ping over their containersis fascinating. Colors rang-ing from yellow, gold, peach,red and burgundy are soruggedly beautiful, it is nowonder Van Gogh found

them a subject worthy for a painting.Park Seed Company offers a packet

named Van Gogh Mix Sunflower Seeds.Included in this mix are singles, dou-bles and a whole spectrum of differentcolors. Also available is an item namedSolar Babies Mix Sunflower Seeds.Since these babies only grow 2 feet tall,they are a good addition to your peren-nial border or a way to add some piz-zazz to your vegetable area.

A number of readers have asked forthe Parks Seed Company address. Hereit is: Park Seed Company, 1 Parkton

Avenue, Greenwood, SC 29647. Phonenumber is (800) 845-3369. The catalogis free.

Sunflowers provide food for humansas well as wildlife. Every year we gleanmy brother’s sunflower field after ithas been harvested, salvaging theheads on the ground that were missed.The birds love snacking on the seedstraight from the heads. I prop thehead in a crotch of a tree trunk, slathersome peanut butter on it and enjoy thevariety of avian friends that visit.

The seeds are large and easy for chil-dren to handle and plant. Our garden

club has regularly sponsored a sun-flower growing contest for kids in ele-mentary grades.

The specialness of Helianthus cannotbe overlooked. Fibonacci counted theseed spirals and Van Gogh painted theflowers. If we take the time to look upclose and personal at a giant sunflowerblossom, the beautiful face and eye-popping color will bring a smile.

Grain prices are effective cash close on Sept. 9. The price index chart compares an average of most recently reported local cash prices with the same average for a year ago.*Cash grain price change represents a two-week period.

Grain AnglesEveryone thinking

profit, loss Everyone is thinking about profit and loss situa-

tions for the 2014 and 2015 crop years withdepressed corn and soybean prices. Today we have awide range of cash grain and livestock operations;ranging from very mature, financially stable cashgrain and livestock operations to young start-upoperations that may be highlyleveraged with debt.

Whether you’re operating froma strong cash position or borrow-ing significant operating funds,everyone needs to be proactive inestablishing a sound game plangoing forward in this market.

• Complete 2014 “what if ”income and expense scenarios.When marketing 2014 crops,remember that your 2014 cropinsurance revenue guaranteeswill be set as of Oct. 31. Once wepass Oct. 31, the 2014 open graininventory is subject to additional loss if the marketmoves lower.

• It’s important for you to start your 2015 cashflow projections. Carefully analyze your numbersand determine corn and soybean break-evens.

• Think about lessons learned from the 2008-09negative margins in the livestock sector. In a diffi-cult market, limiting losses is critical.

• Be prepared to have in-depth discussions withyour lender. Be proactive and start a dialogue onkeeping your working capital in a good position.

Grain OutlookMonster crop

estimates aboundThe following market analysis is for the week end-

ing Sept. 5.CORN — The market wasted no time in resuming

the downtrend as traders returned from the longLabor Day holiday. December corn closed lower inthree of the four days in theshortened trading week, slicingthrough $3.50 per bushel to anew low of $3.43 3⁄4 per bushel.

Estimates for a monster cropcontinue to crowd into the mar-ket. In the boot heel of Missouri,a field of irrigated corn wasbeing harvested at 20-25 percentmoisture and yielding a whop-ping 280-300 bushels per acre.We’ve insinuated that the marketwill be low enough when we haveall the bearish news accountedfor, and apparently we don’t.

Even the crop rating as of Aug. 31 showed improve-ment. The corn crop good/excellent rating increased 1percent to 74 percent which is the highest rating forthis time of year since 1994. The Sept. 11 U.S.Department of Agriculture crop report is the nextgrasp at a rally. Most traders don’t expect the USDAto make any acreage changes until the Octoberreport when they reconcile Farm Service Agency cer-tification information.

Of note this week, the European Central Bankunexpectedly cut their main financing rate from 0.15percent to 0.05 percent and their deposit rate fromminus 0.1 percent to minus 0.2 percent. Traders hadbeen expecting they would leave the ratesunchanged. The ECB also indicated they will buy

Livestock AnglesMarkets open

more positivelyThe cattle and hog markets are starting the month

of September with more positive price outlooks. Bothmarkets have seen the discounts of futures to casheither go to futures over cash or significantly narrow.

The cattle market has seen a rapid rise in bothcash and futures prices in recentdays. Packers have had to scram-ble to find live inventories asnumbers have stayed tight forc-ing the higher prices in the cashtrade. Live prices moved backover $160 live and over $250dressed in the first week of Sep-tember. As a result, the futuresmarket has rallied ratherabruptly to try to close the gap onthe discount of the futures to cur-rent cash prices.

At the same time, the beefcutout has reversed and is nowmoving higher once again after being under pressurethrough most of August. This has changed the atti-tudes of market participants from slightly negativeto a more price-friendly outlook.

From an overview of the cattle market, it appearsthat the market is in a bubble situation. This bubblewill continue to see prices rise until the lack ofdemand finally breaks this trend. This fall, thedemand for beef will come from the retail level asconsumers finally resist the higher prices for beef.Until this happens, expect higher prices to be in thefuture. Producers should stay aware of market condi-tions and know that when the bubble bursts in thismarket, prices will begin to fall in dramatic fashion.Therefore, producers should protect their inventorieswhen needed.

Weekly ethanol production came in as expected at271 million gallons per week versus 268 million theprevious week. This was 12 percent higher than thesame week last year. Ethanol stocks rose 15 milliongallons to 742 million gallons, but they are still thesecond lowest of the last 14 weeks. The latest pre-diction for the 2014 Renewable Fuel Standard man-date to be released is early October. Ideas are lean-ing toward 13.6 billion gallons versus lastNovember’s ideas for 13.0 billion gallons.

For the last full week of the marketing year,weekly export sales were negative 300,000 bushelsfor 2013-14 and positive 20.7 million bushels for the2014-15 crop year. Total sales for 2013-14 are 1.915billion bushels. This compares to the USDA forecastfor 1.92 billion bushels. Total sales commitments for2014-15 stand at 412.4 million bushels, less thanthe 455.7 million bushels of sales on the books lastyear at this time. The USDA’s current 2014-15export projection is 1.725 billion bushels.

Late in the week, there was talk of a letter from Rus-sia’s Ag Ministry to the Russian Prime Minister dis-cussing a ban on grain exports as an alternative forbalancing their domestic grain sheets. The letter wasreported by the Russian Grain Union and both gov-

ernment offices denied the letter exists.OUTLOOK: This year may serve to

reinforce the old saying that big cropsget bigger. On the continuous corn chart, we aretrading at levels not experienced since June 2010.The old contract low in December corn at $3.58 willnow act as first resistance. In high-yielding years of1994 and 2004, the September to final U.S. corn yieldsurged 10-11 bu./acre higher. The next support in theDecember contract is $3.24 1⁄2, the low from June2010. Weather will dictate direction as we head intothe Sept. 11 crop report, but if no threat pops up,lower prices are still in the cards. December corn fell8 3⁄4 cents for the week to close at $3.56 per bushel.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans tried to reverse higherwhen trade resumed after Labor Day, but it was ashort-lived attempt. Take your pick of reasons for thecontinued sell-off: Tremendous yields, non-threaten-ing or good weather, technical selling, soaring U.S.dollar, talk of switching meal sales to Argentina, or acombination of any of the above. When the soybeanrating showed a two-percent improvement, sellersregained their confidence. The good/excellent cate-gory actually rose two percent to 72 percent, tied forthe highest rating for late August since 1985.Adding fuel to the negative fire was talk around thetrade that the arbitrage window to switch U.S. mealsales to Argentina is now open.

Informa Economics updated their 2014-15 balancesheets, increasing their bean yield estimate from44.5 bu./acre to 46.1 bu./acre. Their refreshed pro-duction number is 3.876 billion bushels. The USDAin August used 45.4 bu./acre for a crop of 3.816 bil-lion bushels. In 1994 and 2004, the September tofinal U.S. soybean yield increased 3-4 bu./acre.Reports of Sudden Death Syndrome are circulating,but it doesn’t seem to be widespread enough to put adent in this year’s gigantic crop.

Weekly export sales for the last week of the 2013-14 crop year were net negative 3.2 million bushelsand net positive for the 2014-15 crop year at 32 mil-lion bushels. This brings old crop sales to 1.688 bil-lion bushels versus USDA’s 1.64 billion bushel pro-jection. We have imported 71.2 million bushels ofsoybeans through July of this year. The USDA waspredicting total 2013-14 bean imports at 80 millionbushels. Sales for 2014-15 are up to 796.4 millionbushels, ahead of 755.1 million bushels last year atthis time. USDA is expecting 2014-15 export sales of1.675 billion bushels.

Argentina’s farmers have only sold 55 percent oftheir record crop this year, down from 64 percent lastyear at this time. They are holding commoditiesagainst inflation. The Argentine government usesthe 35 percent export tax to finance public spending.

OUTLOOK – Psychological support at $10 wasnearly breached this week and will be expected to bepenetrated this week ahead of the USDA balancesheets if weather remains favorable. The new con-tract low in November soybeans is $10.01 1⁄4 perbushel. Seasonally, the entire soy complex moveslower during the month of September. In eight of thelast 10 years, November beans have moved lowerfrom Sept. 2 to Oct. 2. November soybeans weredown just 2 3⁄4 cents for the week to settle at $10.211⁄2 per bushel. December meal was $1.60 lower andDecember bean oil gained 34 points.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the weekended Sept. 5: Chicago December wheat tumbled 281⁄4 cents, Minneapolis fell 18 1⁄4 cents and KansasCity dropped 14 1⁄4 cents per bushel. The energy mar-kets were a wild rollercoaster this week with sharpgains one day and steep losses the next. World eventsand varied economic reports, including a rallyingU.S. dollar, eventually led to weekly losses. ❖

TEALE, from pg. 25AThe hog market appears to have finally ended its

recent downtrend that has lasted since early July.Cash prices have firmed and the futures markethas rallied from being a discount to cash to a fairlylarge premium. The pork cutout has also firmedadding further optimism that the possibility isthere for prices to rally further in the weeks ahead.

Hog numbers could likely drop over the next fewmonths as the effects of the porcine epidemic diar-rhea virus could bring the tightest numbers duringthat time period. From a value standpoint alone,pork offers a much better value than its competitivemeats such as beef chicken and turkey.

All of these factors combined could further helphog prices to recover further in the near term. Thefact that the futures market has moved from a dis-count to a fairly large premium should alert theproducers to keep a close eye on the market condi-tions. This could provide an opportunity to lock ininventories at a positive basis if warranted. ❖

several years.• This may also be a time for operations to practice

good risk management by creating working capitalso they can:

° Weather the storm if profitability is limited formultiple years.

° For other operations rebalancing their balancesheet may create strong opportunities in a downmarket to capitalize on future profitable land rentalor purchase opportunities.

In addition to our farm operations understandingcurrent break-evens, it will be just as critical for landowners leasing property to understand their tenant’sbreak-even scenarios as well. Some important con-siderations for land owners include:

• Stay in communication with your tenant and con-tinue to build strong relationships by being knowl-edgeable of the current profit and loss situation.

• Understand the value of your property, the rela-tionship you have with your tenant and be preparedto be flexible and creative.

• Find the right rental rates for your farm. Thinkabout the production history of your farm and yoursoil types.

• Consider flexible leases. Be knowledgeable of thisoption and consider how this may benefit you andyour tenant if the market moves up dramatically.

Bottom line, we’ll need to work extra hard to protectour operations and keep them sustainable during thisvolatility. We’ll need to communicate openly and oftento stay abreast of the current market environmentand be prepared to stay flexible in our agreements.Volatility can be stressful if we don’t plan for thesedownturns; it can also offer positive returns when stillpracticing disciplined margin management.

Big picture — agriculture is a great field to beinvolved in and its long term future is bright. Long-term rewards will be gained by all that can weatherthe storm.

With Federal Crop Insur-ance, every year is different,and with the multiple optionsavailable to producers, thereare many variable resultsfrom crop insurance coverageat harvest time. Things will beno different in 2014, withsome producers choosing YieldProtection policies (yield only)versus Revenue Protectionpolicies (yield and price). Pro-ducers also have differences inthe level of coverage, and someproducers chose “optionalunits”, while other producers chose “enterprise units”for 2014. Even with all these differences, a largenumber of corn and soybean producers in Minnesotawith RP policies are likely to qualify for crop insur-ance indemnity payments in 2014.

In the Midwest,most corn and soy-bean producers inrecent years havetended to securesome level of rev-enue — RP — cropinsurance coverage,rather than stan-dard yield-only —YP — policies. Pro-ducers like the flexi-bility of the RP poli-cies that provideinsurance coverage for reduced yields, as well as ininstances where the harvest price drops below initialbase price. In 2014, corn and soybean crop insurancelosses with YP policies and RP policies will functiondifferently, due to the level of Chicago Board of Tradecorn and soybean prices being well below the 2014crop insurance base prices.

The established base prices for 2014 YP and RPcrop insurance policies were $4.62 per bushel forcorn and $11.36 per bushel for soybeans This will bethe payment rate for 2014 YP policies for corn andsoybeans, and at current CBOT price levels, will alsolikely serve as the final price to calculate revenueguarantees for calculating potential RP crop insur-ance indemnity payments for corn and soybeans. Thefinal harvest price for RP insurance policies withharvest price protection is based on the averageCBOT December corn futures and CBOT Novembersoybean futures during the month of October.

If the 2014 CBOT price in October is below the$4.62 per bushel base price for corn, and the $11.36per bushel base price for soybeans, which seemslikely, the initial base price is used to calculate theRP guarantees; otherwise, the October harvest pricewill be used. The CBOT average price for October isused to calculate the value of the actual harvestedbushels in 2014 for all RP insurance policies. As ofSept. 5, the CBOT futures prices were approximately$3.55 per bushel for December corn and $10.23 perbushel for November soybeans. If these averageCBOT prices stay at these levels, the base prices of$4.62 per bushel for corn and $11.36 per bushel for

soybeans will be usedto calculate the RPinsurance guarantees

for corn and soybeans in 2014.Corn and soybean producers had the option of

selecting crop insurance policies ranging from 60percent to 85 percent coverage levels. The level ofinsurance coverage can result in some producers

receiving crop insurance indemnity payments, whileother producers receive no indemnity payments,even though both producers had the same yieldguarantee and the same final yield.

For example, at a proven corn yield of 190 bushelsper acre, a producer with 85 percent coverage would

PROGRAMS, from pg. 27Ahave ayieldguar-antee of 161.5 bushel per acre, and arevenue guarantee of $746.13 per acre,while a producer with 75 percent cov-erage would have a yield guarantee of142.5 bushels per acre, and a revenueguarantee of $658.35 per acre. If theactual 2014 yield was 190 bushels peracre, with a $3.55 per bushel harvestprice, the producer with 85 percentcoverage would receive a gross indem-nity payment of $71.63 per acre, whilethe producer with 75 percent coveragewould receive no indemnity payment.

Some farm operators in Minnesotaand surrounding states will be facingreduced yields on some farm units in2014, due to the very late planting,excessive rainfall, and severe storms.Many growers purchased upgradedlevels of Revenue Protection cropinsurance for the 2014 growing sea-son, which included the higher “trend-adjusted” yields that were available.

ST. PAUL — In July, farm landowners received abase acre and yield commodity crop history summaryletter from their Farm Service Agency office. Thesummary letter lists the landowner’s FSA farmplanted acres for 2008 through 2012. Landownershave 60 days from the time they received the sum-mary letter to contact the FSA office if there are anydiscrepancies in thedata listed. Thisinformation is essen-tial to being able tosign up for the new2014 farm bill pro-grams.

There have beeninstances in whichthe summary lists nodata or the data isincorrect. If the datais missing or the datalisted in the sum-mary letter is incor-rect, the landownershould contact theFSA office in thecounty where theland is located. If thelandowner rents theland to a tenant, the tenant can contact the FSA officeon the landowner’s behalf. Once contacted, the FSAoffice staff can research and correct the base acreinformation for the specific FSA farm.

The 60-day deadline is required only if there areerrors in the base acres listed in the summary letter.If the data listed is correct, the landowner does nothave to do anything. The deadline has nothing to dowith the farm bill provision for reallocation of baseacres and updating FSA yields. Those decision dead-lines have not yet been announced.

“Producers and landowners will need to make aseries of decisions related to farm bill enrollment overthe next few months. This is a first step,” said GaryHachfeld, regional Extension educator.

If landowners have questions about the base acresummary letter they received, they should contactthe FSA office in the county where land is located.Staff will answer questions and assist with correctingany discrepancies that may exist in the base acredata. For additional information on the 2014 farm billand other farm management topics go to www.exten-sion.umn.edu/agriculture/business.

PROGRAMS, from pg. 28AThe lower CBOT corn and soybean

prices will also increase the likelihoodof crop insurance indemnity payments on manyUpper Midwestern farms, which have 80 percentand 85 percent RP insurance policies for 2014, evenat APH yields.RP crop loss example table

Please refer to the table on Page 28A for crop lossexamples for corn with an 80 percent RP coverageinsurance policy, and soybeans with 85 percent RPcoverage, with “enterprise units” and TA yieldsselected. The table also contains space for producersto put in their own APH yields, insurance coveragelevels, premium costs, projected yield and harvestprices, in order to make estimates for potential 2014crop insurance indemnity payments.Bottom line on calculating potential cropinsurance payments

Producers that have crop revenue losses in 2014,with potential crop insurance indemnity payments,should properly document yield losses for either“optional units” or “enterprise units.” A reputablecrop insurance agent is the best source of informa-tion to make estimates for potential 2014 crop insur-ance indemnity payments, and to find out about doc-umentation requirements for crop insurance losses.It is important for producers who are facing croplosses in 2014 to understand their crop insurancecoverage, and the calculations used to determinecrop insurance indemnity payments. The Universityof Illinois FarmDoc website contains some good cropinsurance information and spreadsheets to estimatecrop insurance payments.

Visit FarmDoc at http://www.farmdoc.uiuc.edu/Deferring 2014 crop insurance payments to2015

Producers that sold a largeamount of 2013 grain in 2014 mayhave questions regarding the poten-

tial for deferring 2014 crop insurance payments to2015 for income tax purposes. Here is a summaryfrom some tax experts on the deferral of crop insur-ance payments:

• Crop insurance proceeds received in 2014 for cropproduction losses, but not market price reductions,may qualify to be deferred until 2015, if the farmoperator’s normal business practice is to collect 50percent or more of the crop proceeds in the year afterharvest. This must be documented; otherwise, thecrop insurance proceeds must be claimed in 2014.

• The potential crop insurance deferral is for allcrops, and there is not a partial deferral. The 50percent means test for crop proceeds is for all crops(corn, soybeans, and other crops) in aggregate, evenif one crop (soybeans) is normally sold at harvest,and sales from another crop (corn) are usuallydelayed until the following year.

• If the crop insurance claim is filed late enough,and the crop insurance proceeds are not receiveduntil after Jan. 1, 2015, the crop insurance proceedswill be counted as 2015 income.

• If you delay your crop insurance proceeds until2015, those proceeds can not be transferred backinto 2014 for income tax calculations, and must becounted as 2015 income.

Producers that are expecting significant cropinsurance payments are encouraged to contact theirtax advisor before finalizing any crop insurancepayment deferral decisions.

Producers andlandowners willneed to make aseries of deci-sions related tofarm bill enroll-ment over thenext fewmonths. This isa first step.

— Gary Hachfeld

By MARK STEILMinnesota Public Radio News

LAMBERTON, Minn. — When RyanBatalden graduated from college, heworked for a time in a Twin Cities office.

But Batalden, who grew up on afarm, always felt the tug of the land.

“I was in a cubicle and I just could-n’t deal with it,” he said. “I didn’treally have any direction, but I knew Ihad to work outside.”

So about 12 years ago, he left theoffice job and went to work on his par-ents’ farm and looked for opportuni-ties to start his own. He managed torent 80 acres but that wasn’t enoughto support him and his family.

He couldn’t find any other affordableland to rent, and to buy land he wouldhave had to spend more than $3,000 anacre, which was out of reach.

As the nation’s farmers age, theaspiring young farmers who mightreplace them often find high land costs

impossible hurdles.Buying 100 acres ofgood farmland cancost $1 million, andthat amount of landoften is too little tosupport a family.

But one approachthat works for someyoung farmers is tofind a partner, asBatalden did. Anorganic farmer, he lives with his wifeand three children. They grow a vari-ety of crops and raise pigs, cows andchickens.

Batalden, 37, found his partnerseven years ago — just when it lookedlike full-time farming might remainjust a dream — when he responded toa life-changing email.

“Supposedly this guy was trying to getsome investors who wanted to invest infarmland linked up with organic andsustainable farmers,” he said.

The guy was RobertKarp, founder of NewSpirit Farmland Partner-ships, based in Milwau-kee. Karp rememberswhen he first called theyoung Minnesota farmer.

“Ryan was very appeal-ing because he’d alreadybeen farming for fiveyears,” Karp said. “He’dgrown up on an organic

farm, so he had a lot of experience. Andwe could just see that he was a youngman who knew what he was doing.”

Karp’s group had an investor whowanted to buy farmland and then rentit to an organic farmer. After a search,the investor was able to buy 160 acresnear Batalden.

Batalden leased the land in RedwoodCounty at a cost below the rental priceof neighboring property. A few yearslater, they took the same approachwith a second purchase, for 100 acres.Today, he farms 260 acres with theassistance of the program, enough tosupport his family, but still scratcheshis head at how long it took for him tobecome established.

“It’s really hard,” Batalden said. “Itshouldn’t be this difficult, to farm.”

Karp said he helped match five otherfarmers around the United States withinvestors.

“It’s a unique moment to have somany young people interested in agri-

culture and we should be trying to helpas many as them as we can find theirway into farming,” he said.

Karp said his effort works on a rela-tively small scale, and more needs tobe done.

Toward that end, other organizationsalso are working to help young farm-ers. Among them is the Minneapolis-based Land Stewardship Project.

It helps evaluate and instruct youngfarmers on what they need to do to getstarted, said Karen Stettler, who over-sees the organization’s Farm Begin-nings program.

“The farm beginnings program reallyhelps people to think about theirdeeply held values and beliefs, putthat into a goal, and then to also makesure to follow that goal up with help-ing them to assess finances and mar-keting strategies,” she said.

In the past 17 years about 600 peoplehave gone through the program, about60 percent are still farming, Stettlersaid.

Batalden said he was lucky to find thehelp he needed to expand his farmingoperation. But he said with the averageage of the U.S. farmer approaching 60,the nation needs to boost efforts to giveyoung farmers a start.

“I don’t know who we think is goingto farm all this land,” he said. “As thebaby boomers move off the land, we’regoing to need a lot more people.” ❖

As we enter the month of Septem-ber, we are approaching the optimumtime for planting winter wheat inMinnesota. The optimum planting date windows arebetween Sept. 1-15 in the area north of I-94, betweenSept. 10-30 south of I-94, and between Sept. 20 andOct. 10 in the part of the state south of I-90.

Performance of winter grains the next year can behurt if planted too early or too late. There’s a pre-ferred amount of growth you’d like to see in the fall,not too much, not too little. In recent research, theearly planted treatments have been more productivethan those planted later than the optimal dates,though the difference was not always large, depend-ing on the year and the variety grown. Getting somegrowth helps to hold some snow for insulation, ifthere is snow to hold.

Below are key points to establish winter wheatsuccessfully and give it the best chances to surviveMinnesota’s winter.Plant winter-hardy, adapted varieties

Use a winter hardy variety, especially if you arenot planting into residue or you are seeding past theoptimum planting window. Late planted seedlingswill be small as winter approaches and will be moreprone to winter injury, particularly if there is littlesnow cover. A winter hardy variety will help reducethe risk of injury and be more productive when con-

ditions are conducive to winter injury.Do a website search for “Minnesota

Extension winter wheat varieties” orcall your Extension office for more information.Plant winter wheat into standing stubble

Survival of winter wheat during the winter isenhanced when it is covered with snow during thecoldest months of the year. Standing crop residuescan effectively retain snow and help insulate the cropduring the winter. Abandoned stands of alfalfa thathave been killed with glyphosate can work well. Evenstanding soybean stubble is capable of trapping somesnow and reducing winterkill. Planting winter wheatinto wheat stubble is not ideal due to the increasedrisk from residue-borne diseases. However, if diseasemanagement is planned, planting into wheat stubbleis better than seeding into a clean tilled field, maybedepending on fall growth potential.Calculate the correct seeding rate

The MN Extension Variety Trial publication sug-gests 75-plus pounds per acre. An optimum stand forwinter wheat in the spring is 23 to 25 plants persquare foot (900,000 - 1,000,000 plants per acre). At14,500 seeds per pound, that’s 62 to 69 pounds peracre. Calculate a seeding rate based on known seedsper pound. A poor seedbed and planting past theoptimum window will mean a higher percent standloss and/or more winterkill. If planting is delayed orconditions exist that may delay germination and

emergence, the seeding rate can be increased byabout 150,000 to 200,000 seeds per acre. There is noadvantage to seeding more than 1.8 million seedsper acre.

Cropland cash rent up from 2013 in Iowa, Minnesota

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey com-mented on the latest Iowa crop progress and condi-tion report released by the USDA National Agricul-tural Statistical Service. The report is releasedweekly from April through October.

“Crops continue to mature as we move towardsharvest, with a few farmers starting to chop silagewhen the weather allows. Aerial seeding of covercrops is also taking place as an increasing number offarmers are starting to use cover crops,” Northeysaid.Crop report

Precipitation early in the week slowed fieldwork toonly 3.7 days suitable across Iowa during the weekending September 7, 2014, according to the USDA,National Agricultural Statistics Service. Averagetemperatures for the week were above normal aidingcrop development. Disease concerns were reported inboth corn and soybeans across parts of the State.Activities for the week included chopping silage, har-vesting hay, and seeding cover crops.

Recent precipitation increased soil moisture. Top-soil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 7 per-

cent short, 79 percent adequate, and 14 percent sur-plus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 2 percent veryshort, 12 percent short, 78 percent adequate, and 8percent surplus.

Almost all of Iowa’s corn crop was in the dough stageor beyond, and 72 percent had reached the dent stage,1 week ahead of the previous year but 3 days behindthe five-year average. Six percent of the corn acreagewas mature, slightly ahead of last year but almost 2weeks behind normal. Unchanged from last week, 76percent of the corn acreage was reported in good toexcellent condition. With almost the entire soybeancrop setting pods or beyond, 26 percent of soybeanleaves were turning color, 5 days ahead of the previousyear, but 4 days behind average. Seventy-three per-cent of the soybean acreage was in good to excellentcondition, equal to the previous week.

The third cutting of alfalfa hay was 64 percentcomplete, almost 2 weeks behind both last year andthe five-year average. Sixty-seven percent of all haywas rated in good to excellent condition. Pasture con-dition rated 63 percent good to excellent. Livestockconditions were reported as excellent with limitedheat and insect stress.

Northey: Cover crops on the rise

WHEAT, from pg. 31AApply phosphorus attime of planting

Phosphorus fertilization can help winter hardiness,especially if soil tests for P are low. Phosphorus helpsdevelop strong roots and crown tissue overwinter. Therate of P applied with the seed should be limited bythe amount of nitrogen in the fertilizer, since exces-sive N prior to freeze-up can reduce winter survival.In narrow rows, nitrogen should not exceed 15 poundsper acre with the seed, particularly if conditions aredry. I’d have to wonder how that plays out then withland where lots of manure has been applied.Plant 1 to 1.5 inches deep

Adequate moisture for establishing winter wheatis often a concern as the soil profile is usuallydepleted of moisture in the fall. If there is little or nomoisture in the soil’s surface, planting shallow (1 to1.5 inches deep) and waiting for rain is recom-mended. Furthermore, these relatively shallowplanting depths allow for faster emergence whentemperatures are rapidly declining.Avoid the “green bridge”

Avoid fall infections of Wheat Streak Mosaic virus,Barley Yellow Dwarf virus, Hessian Fly, and/or tanspot by not planting too early and ensuring theremoval of any volunteer wheat and grassy weeds atleast two weeks prior to planting.

Choose the correct planting date Noted above.

Consider treating seed with fungicides andpossibly an insecticide

If the seed is going to lay in the soil for an extendedperiod of time or if conditions favor disease develop-ment, a fungicide applied to the seed will help pro-tect it. An insecticide may be beneficial if wirewormsare likely to be present.

Rye is another crop that can be considered forfarmers who want straw and then to make the bestuse of feeding or selling the grain. For better grain

yields, winter rye would be planted Aug. 15 to Sept.10 in northern MN; and Sept. 5-30 in southern Min-nesota. Rye can be planted 2 to 8 weeks earlier ifyou’re looking for a fall grazing or hay crop. Rye hasless risk for winter injury. Plant ergot free seed.Triticale is a cross of wheat and rye.

This article was submitted by University of Min-nesota Extension Educator Dan Martens, and isbased largely on information provided by MinnesotaExtension small grain specialist Jochum Wiersmaand communications specialist Phyllis Bongard. ❖

Milker's MessageTHE LANDfrom

This column was written for themarketing week ending Sept. 5.

The U.S. Department of Agricultureannounced the August Federal orderClass III benchmark milk price Thurs-

day at $22.25 per hundredweight up 65cents from July, $4.34 above August2013, $2.29 above the comparable Cali-fornia 4b cheese milk price, andequates to about $1.91 per gallon.There’s more to come next month as

the September futures con-tract was trading late Fri-day morning at $24.25before heading back down inits seasonal descent. The2014 Class III average nowstands at $22.49, up from$17.72 at this time a yearago and $16.23 in 2012.

Looking beyond Septem-ber, the October contractwas trading late Fridaymorning at $22.53; Novem-ber, $20.41; and December, $19.37.That would result in a 2014 average of$22.21, up from $17.99 in 2013 and$17.44 in 2012. The August Class IVprice is a record high $23.89/cwt., up 11cents from July and$4.82 above a yearago. The Class IVeight-month averagenow stands at $23.28,up from $18.37 a yearago and $14.95 in2012.

The four-week,National Dairy Prod-ucts Sales Report-sur-veyed cheese priceaverage used to calcu-late this month’sClass prices was$2.1074 per pound, up5.9 cents from July.Butter averaged$2.5206, up 17.3 cents. Nonfat dry milkaveraged $1.7887, down 7.3 cents, anddry whey averaged 68.80 cents perpound, down fractionally.

The California Department of Foodand Agriculture announced the State’sAugust 4b cheese milk price Tuesdayat $19.96/cwt., up $1.27 from July and$3.64 above August 2013. That propelsthe 4b 2014 average to $20.30, up from$16.03 at this time a year ago and$14.34 in 2012.

The August 4a butter-powder milkprice is a record high $23.83/cwt., up 25cents from July and $5.13 above a yearago. The 4a average now stands at

$23.13, up from $18.12 ayear ago and $14.66 in 2012.

Meanwhile, milk priceswill remain strong forawhile as cash cheese pricesstrengthened in the short-ened Labor Day holidayweek, a sixth week of gainwhile cash butter set a newrecord high. The 40-poundblock Cheddar closed thatFriday at $2.35 per pound,up 2 cents on the week and

54 cents above a year ago. The 500-pound Cheddar barrels moved higheron Tuesday, plunged 6.25 centsWednesday, inched up a half-cent onThursday and another 2 cents on Fri-

day to close at$2.3250 per pound,down 2 cents on theweek but 52.5 centsabove a year ago.Only four cars of bar-rel traded hands onthe week. The laggingNDPSR-surveyedU.S. average blockprice hit $2.1618, up6.9 cents, and thebarrels averaged$2.2403, up 5.8 cents.

The state of theMidwest cheeseindustry is similar tolast week, according

to Dairy Market News, notwithstandingthe psychological dimension of havingjust completed the Labor Day holidayweekend. Most cheese plants are nearfull production and buyer demand ischaracterized as “hungry.”

As expected, with most cheese pro-duction schedules already so full beforethe holiday, little changed during theweekend. Milk supplies to cheeseplants remained on schedule to main-tain planned cheese production. Strongorders are keeping plants busy. In somecases, plants with any ability to handleslightly increased cheese production

Milk prices willremain strong forawhile as cashcheese pricesstrengthened in theshortened LaborDay holiday week,a sixth week ofgain while cashbutter set a newrecord high.

MIELKE, from pg. 34Aare diverting milk from nonfat drymilk production as a strategy to pro-duce more cheese.

Western cheese production is strong.Increased milk supplies are beingdirected to cheese to meet demand.Domestic demand is good with retailorders steady to strong and institu-tional food service demand is increas-ing as schools return. Export saleshave slowed as U.S.prices are above inter-national prices. Cheesestocks are tight for bar-rels. Blocks supplies areadequate for currentdemand.

Cash butter sustainedlast week’s rebound andthen some after settinga new record highThursday at $2.84 perpound, only to addanother half-cent onFriday and close at$2.8450 per pound, up 9cents on the week and$1.4150 per poundabove a year ago. Seven-teen cars were sold onthe week. NDPSR but-ter averaged $2.6682, up 13cents.

Butter production in the Centralregion icreased reflecting additionalmilk and cream supplies becomingavailable throughout the holiday week-end, according to DMN. Domesticdemand is keeping pace, despite thecurrent high prices. Some buyers notedlead times for new orders are growing.The Dutch and Global Dairy Trade but-ter markets were bearish, leaving newexport sales limited. Near-record U.S.prices are keeping many manufactur-ers from building butter stocks effec-tively for upcoming Fourth Quarterdemand.

Western butter production is good assome increased cream volumes becameavailable over the holiday weekend.Butter producers are increasingly con-centrating on filling retail orders forupcoming fall needs.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closedLabor Day week at $1.3325 per pound,up three-quarter cents on the week butstill at a two-year low. Only one carwas sold this week in the spot market.NDPSR powder averaged $1.7223,down 6.6 cents, and dry whey averaged68.74 cents per pound, up 1.3 cents.

July 2014 milk production hit 16.4billion pounds, according to USDA’s

preliminary data, up 4 percent com-pared to a year ago. USDA’s latestDairy Products report issued Thursdayshows where it went. Following a rarerevision in last month’s report, Julybutter production was pegged at 136million pounds, down 3 percent fromJune but 2.6 percent above July 2013.Nonfat dry milk output for humanconsumption totaled 166 millionpounds, up 12.1 percent from June and42.7 percent above a year ago.

American-typecheese output, at 378million pounds, was up0.9 percent from Juneand a whopping 9.5percent above a yearago. Italian-type, at409 million pounds,was up 0.6 percentfrom June and 4.4 per-cent above a year ago.Total cheese output inJuly came to 956 mil-lion pounds, up 1.2 per-cent from June and 7percent above a yearago.

Meanwhile the chal-lenge remains in fluidmilk. USDA reportsthat 3.8 billion poundsof packaged fluid milk

products are estimated to have beensold in the United States in June,down 2.2 percent from June 2013.

June sales of conventional products,at 3.58 billion pounds, were down 2.9percent from a year ago; organic prod-ucts, at 199 million lbs., were up 11.3percent. Organic represented about 5.3percent of total sales for the month.

January-June 2014 total packagedfluid milk sales, at 25.01 billionpounds, were down 2.5 percent fromthe same period a year earlier. Year-to-date sales of conventional products, at23.77 billion pounds, were down 3.1percent; organic products, at 1.24 bil-lion pounds, were up 12.2 percent.Organic represented about 4.95 per-cent of total sales. The figures repre-sent consumption of fluid milk prod-ucts in Federal milk order marketingareas and California, which accountfor approximately 92 percent of totalfluid milk sales in the United States

The world dairy market continues topull away from the U.S. dairy market,or is it the other way around? At anyrate, Tuesday’s GDT auction fed thebears. The weighted average for allproducts plunged 6.0 percent, follow-ing the 0.6 percent decline Aug. 19, 8.4percent loss Aug. 5, and 8.9 percent in

session before that. All offered productswere down. The price index has prettymuch seen declines since reaching itshigh on Feb. 4.

The downfall Tuesday was led by a

14.3 percent plunge in rennet casein,down just 0.8 percent in the lastevent, followed by buttermilk powder,down 12.9 percent, off 2.5 percent last

MIELKE, from pg. 35Atime. Skim milk powder fell 9.5 percent, following a6.5 percent fall in the last event. Anhydrous milkfatwas down 5.8 percent, after jumping 3.6 percent lasttime. Butter was next, down 5.6 percent Tuesday,following a 4.9 percent jump in the last event. Ched-dar cheese followed, down 4.9 percent after a 7.9percent drop last time, and whole milk powder wasoff 4.3 percent, following a 3.4 percent increase inthe last event.

FC Stone reports the average GDT butter priceequated to about $1.2489 per pound U.S., down from$1.3334 per pound in the Aug. 19 event ($1.2185 perpound on 80 percent butterfat, down from $1.3009per pound). Contrast that to Chicago MercantileExchange butter which closed Friday at a recordhigh $2.8450 per pound. The GDT Cheddar cheeseaverage was $1.4853 per pound U.S., down from$1.5664. The block Cheddar CME price closed Fri-day was at $2.35 per pound. GDT skim milk powder,at $1.1792 per pound U.S., is down from $1.3034and the whole milk powder average at $1.2122 perpound U.S., is down from $1.2720 in the last event.The CME Grade A nonfat dry milk price closed Fri-day at a two year low of $1.3325.

Cooperatives Working Together accepted 9 requestsfor export assistance this week to sell 2.26 millionpounds of cheese and 617,294 pounds of whole milkpowder to customers in Asia, the Middle East, NorthAfrica, South America and Oceania. The product willbe delivered through February 2015.

Year-to-date, CWT has assisted member coopera-tives in selling 84.3 million pounds of cheese, 48.188million pounds of butter and 20.494 million pounds ofwhole milk powder to 43 countries on six continents.These sales are the equivalent of 2.012 billion poundsof milk on a milkfat basis. Numbers are adjusted forcancellations that occurred during the month.

Speaking of exports, the U.S. Dairy Export Councilreports that U.S. dairy exports in July were the low-est in six months. The farmer-funded agencyreported that U.S. dairy exporters shipped 171,516tons of milk powders, cheese, butterfat, whey andlactose in July, down 9 percent from June (on a daily-average basis). Export sales slowed across the board,reflecting pricing disadvantages for U.S. suppliersand more competition from Oceania and the Euro-pean Union.

Compared with June, nonfat dry milk/skim milkpowder exports were down 17 percent, cheese was

down 8 percent, butterfat was off 10 percent, drywhey was down 14 percent and lactose was down 11percent.

Total exports were valued at $622.5 million in July,down 10 percent from June (daily-average basis), butup 2 percent from last year. That brings year-to-datesales to $4.54 billion, up 22 percent versus 2013.

Sales to the United States’ top two single markets— Mexico and China — held up fairly well in July,each slipping just 4 percent vs. June (by value, dailyaverage). And shipments to several other top cus-tomers, including Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Alge-ria, were above the prior month.

But U.S. exports slowed considerably in a numberof key markets, including South Korea (-25 percentvs. June), Japan (-22 percent), Vietnam (-19 percent),Malaysia (-57 percent), Thailand (-53 percent),Canada (-17 percent), Dominican Republic (-24 per-cent), Peru (-44 percent) and Morocco (-71 percent).Read the complete report at www.usdec.org.

FOLEY, Minn. — I stopped by theGregory family’s Mill Creek Dairy,north of Kimball, in August to look atsome alternative forage and covercrop plots that I planted there on June30.

I was most interested in watchingcrops that might produce forage feed.These crops were not much more thanout of the ground when we held theCentral Minnesota Forage tour thereon July 16.

On June 23, the Gregorys plantedcorn in this field where alfalfa hadbeen tilled up after a late first cuttingon this field. We suggest corn as agood crop to plant even through thefirst week of July for silage feed. Somecorn was planted later than that thisyear.

I planted plots on the edge of thisfield that are 6 feet wide by 20 feetlong. Looking from bottom to top inthe picture, they included tillageradish, berseem clover, spelt, forageoats, annual ryegrass, foxtail millet,Brown Midrib sorghum sudangrass,dwarf forage sorghum, and BMR for-age sorghum. Foxtail millet was alsoplanted along the right side of theplot, next to the road ditch.

The front edge of the plot got singedwith herbicide in turning a sprayer onthe edge of the field while sprayingthe corn. That’s easy to do with asmall plot on the edge of a field. I dugout one healthy tillage radish plantwhere the tuber was about 7 incheslong and an inch or so in diameter.

The berseem clover, annual rye-grass, and spelt were quite small yet.If they were a cover crop intermixedwith a crop, that might be good at thispoint in the season. The forage oatswas smaller than I expected, butlooked very healthy.

I was quite impressed with the fox-tail millet and sorghum crops. Mois-ture did not appear to be a limitingfactor at this point. Corn on somesandier soil in the neighborhood waswilting badly.

Foxtail millet is an annual grass haycrop that makes one cutting. It is usu-ally ready to harvest 50 to 60 daysafter planting when it is at or nearheading.

As with other hay crops, cutting ear-lier provides higher protein anddigestibility. It makes dry hay verysimilar to brome grass or less maturereed canary grass. I talked with sev-eral beef producers about foxtail mil-let as an annual hay crop where they

wanted something that could readilymake dry baled hay. It could be goodfor dairy dry cows and growing heifersalso when a late-planted crop isneeded that has potential for dry hay.

The foxtail millet was 20 to 24inches tall and quite leafy on Aug. 6. Iclipped a sample for testing. It tested19% protein at this point with AcidDetergent Fiber at 33, Neutral Deter-gent Fiber at 55, NDF digestibility at68 percent, Relative Feed Value at105, and Relative Feed Quality at 150.This is about what I’d expect for afairly immature, leafy grass.

The BMR sorghum sudangrassranged from about 30 to 48 inchestall, maybe a little taller than youmight cut it the first time. I clippedabout half the plot to see how well itwould regrow and to see what theremaining crop would do. It shouldregrow if cut above the lowest nodewith maybe a 6 inch stubble. Withadequate moisture it could be cutagain in about 30 days.

This forage lab test came back at 16percent protein, ADF at 36, NDF at60, NDF digestibility at 68 percent,RFV at 94, and RFQ at 142. So it wasnot a lot different than the foxtail mil-let; but more of it, with potential formore, with a second cutting.

I laid the cut material out in mydriveway, and it looks like making dryhay with this could be a challenge. Incutting a small amount, I did not tryto estimate yield.

Farmers who planted alternativeforage crops where they hope to takepartial or full prevented planting pay-ments should check with their insur-ance agents to make sure they stay in

compliance with rules related to whatthey do with these fields.

Farmers needing better quality feedmight also watch feed quality andcrop conditions and consider the valueof the feed related to the value of fullor partial prevented planting pay-ments.

This will be a year to see what wecan learn from some of these situa-tions; and I’d welcome opportunitiesto see and hear how some of thesethings turn out.

ST. CLOUD, Minn. — To reduce pain and negativeimpact, catching lameness early is important. Let’sreview locomotion scoring using the scale developedby Zinpro, which scores cattle 1 to 5.

• A score of 1 indicates a normal cow. She standsand walks with a level back, and makes long, confi-dent strides.

• A score of 2 is a cow that is mildly lame. Whenstanding, her back will be flat, but will arch when shewalks. Her gait will be slightly abnormal.

• A score of 3 is given to a moderately lame cow. Shestands and walks with an arched back and short strideswith one or more legs. Slight sinking of dew claws inlimb opposite to the affected limb may be evident.

• A score of 4 is a cow that is lame. When standingand walking, her back is arched. She’ll favor one ormore limbs, but can still bear some weight on them.Sinking of the dew claws is evident in the limb oppo-site of the affected limb.

• A score of 5 indicates a severely lame cow. Therewill be pronounced arching of the back, she will bereluctant to move, and will almost completely trans-fer weight off of the affected limbs.

Catching and treating lame cows early, before theyare 4s or 5s will improve animal welfare and preventlong-term problems. Learn how they walk so you cansee a problem more easily. Observe them heading tothe parlor, exiting the parlor, and as they wander inthe barn. The key to good management is early detec-tion and aggressive prevention.

We’re starting to get some questionsabout pricing corn silage. In somecases, livestock producers are short onfeed and some crop producers are longon corn that might not make goodmature grain — againthis year. Farmers whoare thinking about buy-ing or selling corn orcorn silage out of thefield should start dis-cussions early and con-sider a range of factorsthat are useful in thisconversation. Livestockproducers shouldinclude their nutritionadvisor in discussionsabout rations.

The price of other feedoptions can be a factor in how we thinkabout the price of a given feed like cornsilage. Corn silage might be thoughtabout as a combination of grainrelated to the amount of corn that isthere and grass forage related to cornstalks and leaves. Most grain and for-age markets are a little unsettled nowas we wait to see how the crop reallyturns out; and as we move from hayharvest to the winter hay market sea-son. Buyers and sellers need to thinkabout what makes sense to them.

Another approach is to consider thenet value of the corn crop if it wereharvested as grain and sold. The cropgrower’s net value is what they will getpaid at the elevator after moisture andquality adjustments are made minusany harvest, drying, hauling, and stor-age costs. If a livestock producer har-vests corn for silage, high moisturegrain or earlage, the grain farmer willnot have these costs. The fodder part ofthe corn can be considered for its valueas feed, bedding or returned to the soil.

One of the general guidelines forpricing corn silage that I and othershave talked about over the years isthat the price of a ton of normal cornsilage standing in the field might beworth 6 to 8 times the price of corn.Some value might be added for the for-age. Be careful with how you use this.This is based on field trials showingthat normal corn silage might have 6to 8 bushels of corn in a ton of cornsilage. Some articles offer ways tomake adjustments to this number ifthe crop is drought stressed or freezesbefore maturity and for other factorslike moisture.

Growers will usually considerwhether a price x yield will cover theirproduction costs and a return to laborand management — making a living.

Just as a lower price for grain cornmight not cover the cost of productionin some situations this year, the corre-sponding price for corn silage mightnot cover these costs. Some crop pro-

ducers will be workingwith crop insuranceadjusters this fall andeventually looking atprovisions in the 2014farm bill to see if theycan make up the differ-ence.

Wisconsin Extensionmonitored fields overseveral years. Withyields averaging from25 to 200 bushels peracre and moisture rang-ing from 60 to 70 per-

cent moisture, the averages rangedfrom 3.1 to 8.6 bushels per ton. Therange in individual fields was from 0 to12 bushels per ton.

Moisture content alone makes ahuge difference. The Wisconsin articlelists averages for bushels of corn perton of silage at different yield levels. Intheir data at 125 bushels per acre forexample, if chopped at 60 percentmoisture, they averaged 14.6 tons ofcorn silage per acre and 8.5 bushels ofcorn per ton. If chopped at 70 percentmoisture, they averaged 19.5 tons peracre and only 6.4 bushels per tonbecause of the weight of the extrawater.

It’s a good idea to test corn silagesamples to get a better idea of whatfeed quality is like. It can be challeng-ing to get a representative sample. Afeed test can be useful in consideringpricing as well as formulating rations.Moisture, protein, starch, sugar,energy, digestibility, milk per ton andnitrate-nitrogen are some numbersthat can be useful. Starch can be usedto calculate pounds or bushels of cornper ton. The fodder has value too. Cornsilage with very little corn can have 70to 90 percent of the feed value of nor-mal corn silage depending on variousfactors. A feed test can provide feedquality information.

You can do a website search for “Wis-consin Extension Corn Silage” to findarticles on these topics includingspreadsheets and worksheets. An Excelspreadsheet with input for feed values,grain harvest values, hauling costs,plow-down fertilizer values, and otherfactors is listed as “Corn Silage PricingDecision Aid.” Do some of you ownthinking about the assumptions youuse. A more general discussion is titled“Pricing Drought Stressed Corn Silage.”

Again, think about your own situation.You can guess and estimate as much

as you like, and you can consider whatmight be useful and practical to meas-ure, weigh and test.

You’re welcome to call your CountyExtension office for help in finding orgetting a copy of Minnesota or Wiscon-sin Extension Articles that might behelpful. In Stearns County, (320) 255-6169 or 800-450-6171; In Morrison

County, (320) 632-0161 or (866) 401-1111; in Benton County, (320) 968-5077 or (800) 964-4929. You can lookfor related information at the Univer-sity of Minnesota Extension website,www.extension.umn.edu. Make safetya priority in the fall harvest season. Itwill likely be a long one again in 2014.

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.

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondents Tim King (story) and Jan King (photo)As the water churns

TThere was a time when the sound of waterrushing over the dam on the Otter Tail Riverat Phelps, Minn., was drowned out by the

sound of human industry.One hundred years ago, during harvest, as many

as 35 wagons could be lined up at the wheat deliveryarea of the three-story Phelps Flour and Feed Mill.Farmers came from as far as Wadena to have theirwheat milled. So many came to trade that abunkhouse and stable for overnight stays was built.A general store was also built. At the same time asthe farmers were streaming into Phelps, wagons ofthe mill’s popular Bakers Choice and Gold Foil flourwere being carted from the mill to stores in the area.

At the end of the 19th century and the beginning

of the 20th, wheat, not corn, was the king of crops,and Minnesota hosted nearly 1,000 small mills likethe Phelps Mill. Prior to the full expansion of therailroads and the centralization of flour-making inMinneapolis, these mills were hubs of local industryand economy.

Today, almost all of those mills have disappeared.But thanks to local history advocates, The Friends ofPhelps Mill and the Otter Tail County HistoricalSociety, the 125-year-old Phelps Mill is sound andopen to the public for tours.

If you visit the mill today, you can walk through allthree stories and learn how flour was made fromwheat. On the first floor, there are five roller millsthat ground the flour and removed the bran. On the

second floor, the ground wheat was run through aseparator and three purifiers. The purifiers allowedfor the manufacture of white, or patent, flour. On thethird floor, flour was sifted and bleached and sentback to the first floor for bagging.

All of this was operated with belts and pulleyspowered by a 7,000-pound water turbine. The tur-bine is horizontal and completely submerged under5 feet of water. Visitors can see the water turbinehouses on the mill’s river side.

If you go to Phelps, you can tour the mill and thensit on the general store’s porch, eat your ice creamand watch the river slip over the dam. You can alsofish for catfish below the dam and picnic in the spa-cious county park next to the mill. ❖

Phelps Mill, Otter TailCounty,Minn.

By KRISTIN KVENOThe Land CorrespondentThe ThronsonsGary, Minn.

Jared Thronson’scrops got a little tooclose for comfort to ahail storm.Hail fell justfive or six miles south;he’s relieved none of itlanded on his farm.

As a matter of fact, not too much ofanything has fallen from the sky forquite some time. When The Landspoke with him on Sept. 3, Thronsonsaid they’d received about half an inchof rain the previous weekend.

Their corn “hasn’t changed a wholelot in the last two weeks” he said.Thronson said it’s “at least two orthree weeks behind .. but not bad forthe condition of the plants.”

He described the beans as “prettygood,” with early varieties “reallystarting to turn colors” and “most ofthe pods really full.” What little rainthey’ve gotten has been “enough mois-ture to fill out all the pods.”

Thronson’s wheat is not where he’d likeit to be moisture-wise.“I like to get it below20 percent before doing a lot,” and under18 percent is ideal.“That would get it drieddown relatively fast,” he said. He’s got 160acres to harvest, and is “hopeful that in aweek I’ll have my wheat combined.”

Meanwhile, he kept busy helping hisgirlfriend’s dad combine his wheat lastweek. Combining then may have beenan exception rather than the rule —“most of the wheat is still out therestanding in the fields.”

Thronson said he believes that not alot of corn will be combined beforeNovember — “it needs some moreheat” — and he predicts there’s a goodchance there may be a lot of corn stillstanding in fields until March or April.

With nights getting down into themid-40s, it’s beginning to feel like fall,but Thronson is “hoping for a warmer-than-average September.”

The WiltsesHerman, Minn.

“We don’t want any more rain this fall.”Dennis Wilts made this request

when The Land spoke to him Sept. 4.With between seven to 10 inches ofrain in the last three weeks, he said,“We’ve got enough.”

All that rain made the wheat harvest alate and drawn-out one. “It took us about

two-and-half weeks,”he said of the harvestwhich wrapped upSept. 3. Looking back,Wilts said he “can’tever remember com-bining wheat thislate.” He said the pro-tein was low, but theyield was good.

Meanwhile, “I think we’re going tohave a pretty good corn crop in somefields,” he said, “but if we get any frostin September it’s going to hurt theyield.” The corn is beginning to dent,said Wilts, who believes the corn needsanother 25 days to mature.

As for the beans, he said they “lookreal good. I think we should have afairly good bean crop.”

The sugar beets are also “growingpretty good right now; looking betterthan they did a month ago,” he noted.

Wilts will begin pre-lift on Sept. 23, ashe grows sugar beets for Minn-Dak. Forpre-lift harvest, it’s “just run on day-light hours,” he said. Regular harvestisn’t set yet, but he said it’s “usuallywhen it gets cool enough to store beets.”The date is typically around Oct. 5.

Wilts said his job now is to starttillage on his wheat ground, as well asget things ready for pre-lift.

“The crops are looking fairly good,”he said, but “we need a lot of timebefore frost.”

The HoffmansNew Ulm, Minn.

A little over three inches of rain hasfallen at Don Hoffman’s farm since

mid-August. WhenThe Land spoke withHoffman on Sept. 2,he commented on thefact that the “grass isas green as can be”and, overall, the“crops look great.”

He said the cornresembles sweet cornrather than silage corn, and predictedit would be “at least two weeks beforechopping.”

Corn isn’t the only crop that is a lit-tle behind; the beans are “as green asgrass.” They look good, he said, butthey need some time — there are “notints of yellow.” Hoffman said thatalmost everything’s going to be late.

“Pretty sure that we’ll need the dry-ers this fall,” he said. This will be “thefirst time in four years,” he said, “thatthe crop will have a chance to maturenormally.”

Hoffman’s alfalfa crop, however, has-n’t been behind all season. In fact,“We’ll take our fifth crop on Sunday orMonday, weather permitting,” said.

Meanwhile, Hoffman is getting otherparts of the farm ready for the fall andhe has “worked on where we’re goingto pump our manure.” He’ll do themanure application right after cornchopping is finished.

Hoffman hosted a Mycogen cornsilage plot day on Aug. 28; the weatherwas terrible, he said, but they had agood turnout. His son Brad mannedthe grill so “everybody ate good.” Thiswas his second year as a host, and henoted that the 25-30 people in atten-

dance was “a pretty nice group.”The mattresses for the dairy barn

have now been ordered. Once theyarrive, it will be a two-man job gettingthem in the barn and in place. “It willtake some time,” Hoffman said. “Thisweek we better get the equipment out.”

While harvest may not be soon, Hoff-man knows that from here on outthere are “not going to be any days off.”

“The crops are going to be betterthan we think in the area.” Hoffmansaid. “It will be a good crop. I don’tthink people will be too disappointedwhen the combines finish in the field.”

The HagensLake Mills, Iowa

It may not haveofficially been rain-ing cats and dogs atthe Hagen farm, butit may as well havebeen. When TheLand spoke withJim Hagen on Sept.2, he noted that nine inches of rainhad fallen in the previous two weeks.

Thankfully, though, “it all soakedin,” he said, and the forecast was clearfor the rest of the week. We’ve got“nice weather now,” said Hagen.

He said the corn was doing “realgood” and in the denting stage, and“some of the beans are turning now.”He predicted they’d be harvesting bythe end of the month, as the rain hadhelped “fill the beans out.” The aphidsseemed to have gotten the hint theyweren’t welcome in their fields andhave stayed away.

Hagen spent a little time off the farmattending the Farm Progress show inBoone, Iowa, on Aug. 29. Due to theexcessive rains, the show was canceledon the last day. The day Hagen went itwas raining but manageable to getaround the show. It was a “big crowd,”he said. Field demonstrations werecanceled because of the rain, he said,but overall the show was “way biggerthan it’s ever been, I think.”

They’re now “getting things readyfor harvest.” With the new combinethis year, he has to get the settingsjust so in time to make its maiden tripthrough the field.

He said he’s also “trying to figure outfall fertilizer prices,” although “mostplaces haven’t set their prices yet.”

Overall, Hagen said, it “should be agood crop.” Will it be a wet or dry har-vest? “Time will tell,” he said. ❖

Growers in southern Minnesota say this year’searly-season apples are ready to be picked.

Minnesota Public Radio News reports this year’sapple harvest is running a week late because of thelong winter and wet spring, but varieties like PaulaRed and Zestar apples are ready.

The Sekapp orchard near Rochester has about7,000 fruit trees with 25 apple varieties.

Owner Fred Kappauff says they’ve been fortunatethis season to be spared hail that hit parts of cen-tral Minnesota and wiped out apple crops.

Jim Luby, professor of horticultural science at theUniversity of Minnesota, says the crop looks verygood in some areas but spotty in others.

Minnesota’s roughly 150 apple growers areexpected to produce around 21 million pounds offruit this year.

Minnesota Department of Agriculture

Reasons to visit yourlocal apple orchard

• Many apple orchards also offer hayrides, corn mazes and other fun fallactivities for families.• An apple orchard makes for a greatfamily trip and it isn't far from home.• You are buying the freshest, locallygrown apples around. Many appleorchards also have apple baked goodsthat you can take home with you.• Apples are healthy for the entirefamily. They help protect bone healthand lower LDL cholesterol.

These are the most common questions asked bygardeners and consumers about apples.

Q: What is the most popularUniversity of Minnesota apple?

A: Without a doubt it is theHoneycrisp Apple. Explosivelycrisp, juicy, and with a sweet-tart taste, Honeycrisp is atrue favorite. This excep-tional apple has been hon-ored as a significant techno-logical discovery in the 2006Better World Report and is theMinnesota State Fruit. It’sworth waiting for HoneycrispApples that ripen late in Septem-ber to mid-October.

Q: What are the names of thenewest University of Minnesota apples?

A: Three new apples have been introduced inrecent years.

The Zestar! Apple has a sprightly sweet-tart tastewith a hint of brown sugar. It is an unusuallycrunchy, crisp and juicy early season apple.

The SnowSweet Apple has a delightful sweet taste,with a slight tart balance and rich overtones. Aunique characteristic is the fruit’s snowy white fleshis very slow to oxidize and turn brown after cutting.SnowSweet can be sliced for snacking or cut for sal-ads well in advance and the apple pieces still main-tain a white appetizing appearance. SnowSweetripens late in the season.

The Frostbite Apple was named by 8 Minnesota con-sumers in a 2008 contest. Frostbite is a unique, smallapple that is extremely sweet. It’s flavor has beenlikened to sugar cane and molasses. It is extremelycold hardy and is an exceptional apple for cross polli-nation. Frostbite will ripen in late September to mid-October, but because of its recent introduction, fruitwon’t be available to consumers for several years.

Q: Where can I buy a tree to plant?A: Your best bet for purchasing one or just a few

trees is to contact your favorite garden center andspecifically ask for the University of Minnesota vari-ety you want. In Minnesota, if you shop early, theUniversity of Minnesota Landscape ArboretumSummer House will have a selection of varieties.Plus, many retail nurseries and garden centers inMinnesota will begin carrying new Zestar! andSnowSweet Apple Trees in Spring 2008.

Q: What if I want to buy a number of appletrees?

A: Large quantities (typically a minimum of 100) ofpatented University of Minnesota varieties must beordered from a Licensed Wholesale Nursery.

Q: Do I need to have more than one apple tree?A: Yes. Apple trees need neighboring trees

to enhance pollination. Plus, you need atleast two different varieties.

Q: How far apart should I plantmy trees?

A: Trees should be planted nocloser than 15 feet apart and nofurther than 100 feet of eachother.

Q: Where should I plant mytrees and what do I need to do

Michael Ruhlman’s done it again with “Egg: ACulinary Exploration of the World’s Most VersatileIngredient” (Little, Brown & Co., 2014): He’s crafteda cookbook that’s an instant classic, one that’s a per-fectionist’s dream but also accessible to the “com-mon cook.”

The author of some of my all-time favorites suchas “Ratio: The Simple Codes Behind the Craft ofEveryday Cooking” and “Ad Hoc at Home,”Ruhlman infuses all his subjects with charm andgenius. His cookbooks are devoured by foodies, stud-ied by culinary students, honored by peers, commit-ted to memory, and passed around at parties. He’sthat good.

Why devote an entire cookbook to a single ingredi-ent? Ruhlman explains that eggs are like a Rosettastone, unlocking the secret language of the kitchen.Learn to use eggs properly, he reveals, and youbecome a far better all-around cook, because eggsmake food behave in spectacular ways.

Think “scrambled eggs and angel food cake andice cream and aioli and popovers and …,” he writes,and you’ll get the idea that eggs are multi-taskersto the max.

■

Pretty much every egg dish you could imagine, anddozens more you didn’t, are included in this book,including this one for a beautiful, fresh herb-stud-ded egg salad. Soaking the onion in salt water firstmellows out its “bite” and makes it sweeter. My fam-ily gave this egg salad four out of four “yums” when Iadded garden lettuce and tomatoes, taking thesesimple, wholesome sandwiches to soaring heights oflate-summer deliciousness.Egg Salad with Tarragon and Chives (serves 4)

3 tablespoons minced red onionSalt8 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and coarsely choppedFreshly ground black pepper1⁄2 cup Hellmann’s mayonnaise2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon2 tablespoons minced fresh chivesPut the red onion in a small bowl and sprinkle lib-

erally with salt, then cover with water for five to 10minutes. Put the eggs in a medium bowl. Give thema three- or four-finger dose of salt and a liberalapplication of freshly ground pepper. Add the may-onnaise. Strain the onion and add it, along with theherbs, and stir with a rubber spatula until all theingredients are uniformly combined.

■

Change up your usual weekend omelet with thepotato-friendly version from Italy called a frittata.Omelets and frittatas are very similar in ingredi-ents, but the frittata is started on the stove top, fin-ished under the broiler, and then inverted onto aplate and sliced up like a pizza. Buon appetito!Potato, Onion and Cheese Frittata (serves 4)

1 small potato, peeled and cut into small dice(about 1 cup)

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oilSalt1⁄2 onion, cut into small dice (about 1⁄2 cup)6 eggs, thoroughly blended

1⁄2 cup shredded cheddar cheeseFreshly ground black pepper2 avocados, peeled, pitted and diced (optional)Preheat the broiler. In a medium nonstick frying

pan, combine the potatoes and olive oil over medium-high heat and stir or toss them in the pan to coatthe potatoes with oil. Add athree-finger pinch of salt,just to coat the surface.When the potatoes arelightly browned, add theonions; add salt to coat theonions; and continue to cookuntil the onions are tender,stirring or tossing the potatoand onion.

Place the eggs in a mediumbowl and add the cheese, alongwith 1⁄2 teaspoon salt and sev-eral grinds of pepper, and stirto combine and disperse thecheese. Pour the egg mixtureover the potatoes and onionsand reduce the heat to medium,swirling the pan so that theeggs even out. Cook until theedges are set, a couple of min-utes depending on the heatlevel, checking to make sure theeggs aren’t sticking.

Place the pan underneath thebroiler until the eggs are just set,a minute or two depending onyour broiler. When the top is set,invert the frittata onto a cuttingboard, cover with the diced avocado, if using, and cutinto wedges.

■

Cool-as-your-grandmother’s-icebox Italian DropCookies are the perfect antidote to the dog days ofsummer. The butter and eggs add the richness whilethe lemon juice and zest add the zing, making thesecookies melt in your mouth. A simple, yet perfect,lemony glaze completes the picture.

Italian Drop Cookies with Lemon Glaze1⁄2 cup granulated sugar1⁄4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperatureZest and juice of 1⁄2 lemon3 eggs2 cups flour2 teaspoons baking powder1⁄4 teaspoon saltFor the glaze:2 1⁄2 cups confectioners’ sugar1⁄4 cup fresh lemon juiceZest of 1 lemonPreheat the oven to 350 F. Combine the sugar, but-

ter and lemon zest in a standing mixer and paddleon medium-high until thoroughly creamed, aboutfive minutes. Reduce the speed to medium and addthe eggs one by one while paddling, followed by thelemon juice.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour,baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients tothe egg-butter mixture while paddling, just until thedough comes together. The dough should be pale yel-low and sticky.

Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchmentpaper. Using two spoons to scrape the dough off each

other, drop the sticky cookiedough onto the lined bakingsheet. You can make thecookies teaspoon- or table-spoon-size. Leave about 2inches between the cook-ies; they will spread a bit.Bake until the cookies arelightly browned, 10 to 12minutes. Remove thecookies from the oven andtransfer them to a wirerack to cool.

To make the glaze, in asmall bowl, whisktogether the confection-ers’ sugar, lemon juiceand half of the zest untilthe sugar is completelydissolved. The icingshould be nearly a pastethat falls in ribbonswhen you lift the whiskfrom the bowl.

When the cookies arecool, hold each one bythe edges and dunkjust the very top in the

glaze. Once they’reglazed, place the cookies on a wire rack to allow anyexcess glaze to drip off. Garnish with the remainingzest while the glaze is still soft and not yet set.

Box 3169,Mankato, MN 56002. Please specify if you wish tohave the cookbook returned, and include informationon how readers may obtain a copy of the cookbook.
