New applications of moderntechnologies — such as thosedescribed in Land staff writerDick Hagen’s crop sensor story onPage 10 — are revolutionizingagriculture by reducing farmers’fuel costs, time spent in the fieldand environmental impact on theland, water and air.

On a more intimate level, I’mhoping they will also revolution-ize my personal well-being byincreasing the time I spend onjogging and bike paths. Historymay not be on my side for acomplete healthiness overhaul,but I figure I’ve got a fighting chance this timebecause ... well, because I’m a serious stats geek.

If you can track it, map it, time it and graph it, I’mall over it. (I was a member of my high school trackand cross country teams as a proud, low-impact, clip-board-toting manager.) So when I learned about an“app” for my BlackBerry that utilizes its built-inGPS capabilities to monitor athletic activities, Iinstalled it on my smartphone almost immediately.

You select what kind of workout you’re doing —walking, running, cycling, whatever — then hit“start” and take off. When you hit “stop” the appautomatically uploads the data to a website where

you can view statistics on that activity, includingduration, mile splits, elevation changes, caloriesburned and a map of your route. If you buy a littleattachment it’ll even track your heart rate.

My heart, of course, is of particular concern to mesince having a couple of fancy stents placed inside itnearly a year ago.Those high-tech devices saved mylife then, and perhaps my new device will help extendit slightly by encouraging me to keep my heart rate up.

I went running last week for the first time sincebefore having those stents installed. The previoustime I had tried, unsuccessfully, a month or so

before the procedure, the crushing feeling ofhelplessness I experienced was humbling. Thistime around my heart felt strong and up to the

challenge; the rest of my out-of-shape body, mean-while, strongly questioned my choice of free-timeactivity and called it a day after covering a mere 1.02miles in 11 minutes, 44 seconds.

While burning 125 calories. With 69 feet of totalelevation change.

I can e-mail you the route map from my phone ifyou’re interested.

OPINION

By KEVIN SCHULZThe Land Editor

Katie McNab and Andrew Mironhave a lot in common. Both graduatefrom high school this year, both areheading to college, both wererecently elected to Minnesota stateFFA office and both are winners ofThe Land scholarships this year.Katie McNab

Katie McNab was able to spend one year as aWaseca High School FFA member and chapter officerwith her big brother, Joe, 20, and that experiencespurred her further into her passion — FFA.

“When I was a freshman I knew that a goal of minewas to become a state FFA officer,” said the youngestdaughter of Dave and Pat McNab of Waseca. Katiealso has a half-sister, Pam Dietz, 27. Katie is thethird state officer to come out Waseca High SchoolFFA in the 50 years of the chapter’s existence.

The McNab family rents about 400 acres of corn,soybeans, peas and sweet corn. They also raise andshow horses and rabbits.

Back in 2004, Katie got her first pet rabbit. “Iwanted a pet bunny so my parents got me one forChristmas.” Well, as rabbits are known to do, theymultiplied. That first free buck Katie got seven yearsago came from some people looking to liquidate theirbunny operation, and thus Lone Oak Woolies wasborn. Katie is specific to the Jersey Wooly breed, asmall breed with long wool and small ears that isknown for its easy disposition.

Katie raises the rabbits for showingand selling; she goes across the coun-try to show her rabbits, with herhighlight coming at a 2008 nationalshow in Louisville, Ky., where shebrought home a best-of-breed award.

At one time she had as many as 140rabbits in her herd, but that is slowlybeing whittled down to about 40 forwhen she heads off to Iowa State

University where she plans to major in ag educationand minor in communications.

“When I get out of college, I want to work as a highschool ag teacher and FFA adviser,” she said. “Thenin time I would like to work with an agriculturalcompany or organization. ... I’ve thought about work-ing for National FFA.”Andrew Miron

Andrew Miron, the youngest of Fran and Mary AnnMiron’s six children, is merely following the paththat has been laid by those before him.

He is the fourth state FFA officer in his family —oldest brother Mike, 2000-01 treasurer; Ann, 2006-07secretary; Katie, 2009-10 vice president. He is thefourth Forest Lake FFAer in the last five years to bea state FFA officer (Erin Daninger, 2010-11 secre-tary, was the other), and he became the 11th stateofficer to come out of the Forest Lake FFA Chapter.

“It’s quite an honor to be graduating in the 100thclass from Forest Lake High School and a state officerin the 75th year of Forest Lake FFA,” he said.

Scholarship winners have common bond

See SCHOLARSHIP, pg. 3

On Nov. 10, 1918, Tobey Farmer, a corpo-ral in the 365th Infantry Regiment, 92ndDivision of the U.S. Army, died while serv-ing his nation, and freedom, in St. Mihiel,France. Farmer, from Illinois, died just afew hours before the armistice to endWorld War I began at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11.

Like many of his fallen comrades,Farmer was buried in France and can befound at Plot B, Row 15, Grave 16 in theSt. Mihiel American Cemetery and Memo-rial near Thiaucourt. Around him lie 4,152other doughboys who died while retakingthe Verdun-St. Mihiel-Pont-a-Moussonsalient late in the war.

That’s all I know about the Illinois boynow resting forever amid the 40-acre cemetery inwhat had been the center of a German bulge thatbrave Americans like Farmer smashed to hasten anend to the war that was to end all wars.

Well, that’s not entirely accurate.I know it’s a near-certainty that no one remem-

bered him on the day we say we remember our wardead. His name, never recorded in any of the solemnpoems read by solemn people on solemn occasionslike Memorial Day, was not spoken nor were hisdeeds and sacrifice mentioned.

And I know he was not the only one forgotten. Fewof the estimated 1,317,700 American military womenand men who died in wars declared and remembered(the Civil War: 623,026 dead) or undeclared and for-gotten (The Haiti Occupation, 1915-34: 146 dead)were mentioned on Memorial Day.

But their collective sacrifice, what President AbrahamLincoln in the Gettysburg Address called “their last fullmeasure of devotion,” should never be forgotten.

We must remember, Lincoln suggested a moment

earlier, because “we cannot consecrate, wecannot hallow this ground. The bravemen, living and dead, who struggle here,have consecrated it far above our poorpower to add or detract.”

Lincoln finished his 278-word psalm toGettysburg’s dead with a challenge to allAmericans suffering through a war thatthreatened the young nation’s very sur-vival. His challenge still resonates a cen-tury and half later this Memorial Day.

“It is for us the living,” Lincolnreminded his audience, “to be dedicatedhere to the unfinished work which theywho fought here have thus so nobly

advanced.” The “great task remainingbefore us,” said the Great Emancipator, was clear:

“That we here highly resolve that these dead shallnot have died in vain; that this nation, under God,shall have a new birth of freedom, and that govern-ment of the people, by the people, for the people,shall not perish from the earth.”

Lincoln’s belief in “the people” was unshakabledespite a yet-undecided war that was ripping thenation apart. A government of, by and for the people

could surmount the carnage, he said, if “this nation”had the resolve to do so.

People like Tobey Farmer had that resolve; he leftsafe, sleepy Illinois to fight European militarism in war-torn France where, one day shy of a future, he died.

He did not die so special interests could take thisnation to the edge of financial ruin.

He did not die so billion-dollar corporate jugger-nauts, like global meatpackers, could buy favors thatfit their interests and filled their bank accounts.

He did not die for politicians to ride to power onoceans of campaign cash and then, standing in theshadow of the flag, boldly and falsely claim theirindependence of its influence.

He and all 1,317,700 war-dead did, however, givetheir last full measure so that government of, byand for the people would remain paramount to rich,powerful and corrosive special interests.

If you couldn’t remember Tobey Farmer thisMemorial Day, at least remember that.

SCHOLARSHIP, from pg. 2In addition to Mike, Ann and Katie, Andrew has two

other brothers — Mark and Paul.Obviously, FFA has been a big part of the young

Miron’s life, but he has done more than wear the bluecorduroy throughout his high school career.

In addition to his helping on the Miron family cropand dairy farm, Andrew also wrestled, played base-ball and has been involved in 4-H. He said that afterFFA he received his greatest satisfaction from hiswork with St. John the Baptist Church.

“Church has been a big part of my life,” Andrewsaid. “Mom and Dad always stressed the importanceof church.” Andrew has been a lector, Bible Schoolteacher, usher, fall festival volunteer, altar server andhas been a member of the church’s choir.

This fall, Andrew will be heading south to the Uni-versity of Minnesota, where he plans to major in ani-mal science and pre-veterinary medicine. “I plan ongetting my veterinary degree, then come home tofarm and then work as a vet, too.”

OPINION

By SARAH JOHNSONThe Land Correspondent

A large brick churchwith an American flagand a wide green expanseof lawn in front graces thecover of “Cooking WithHarmony,” a fund-raisingcookbook from the Har-mony State Line UnitedMethodist Women. Thechocolate-brown churchwith bright white details,flanked by towering trees,is sturdy, square and tall:a Midwestern icon onMain Street USA.

The equally sturdy,hard-cover, easy-clean cookbook has beendone in a three-ring binder style and isquite the bargain at $15 (plus shipping)for almost 700 recipes. Funds raised sup-port the church women’s never-endingprojects and missions. This is a greatcookbook for beginners, since it has justabout everything in every category, but

more experienced cooks will enjoy leafingthrough it and finding new treasures totry.

I have been unusually busy lately withfamily projects, so cooking time has beenlimited. Here are several recipes thatseemed “practical” to me. I am keepingthem myself for future time shortages.

(Certainly not all the recipes inthis cookbook are “quickies”; lotsand lots of wonderful “slow food” isalso featured.)

■A hearty restaurant-style sauté,

Easy Chicken Bistro makes you feellike a fancy chef with just a few sim-ple ingredients and a half-hour,tops. No need to tell anyone howeasy it was; just mop your brow andenjoy their happy faces. I whippedthis up one evening, complementedwith a bagged salad, canned man-darin oranges and buttered bread,and we called it a feast. I called itfast and fabulous. Four out of four“yums” from the Johnson clan.

Easy Chicken BistroSubmitted by Holly Koliha Nelson

2 teaspoons oil3 cups sliced mushrooms1 onion, chopped1 can stewed tomatoes, undrained1/4 cup Italian dressing3 tablespoons tomato paste4 boneless chicken breasts1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded2 sliced cooked bacon, crumbledHeat oil in pan; add mushrooms and

onions. Cook 5 minutes; add stewedtomatoes, Italian dressing and tomatopaste. Add chicken; cover. Simmer for 12minutes or until chicken is done. Topwith cheese and bacon; simmer, uncov-ered, 5 minutes until cheese is melted.

■As I write this column I can see rhubarb

tips peeking out of the mud in our mirybackyard. I strongly feel that you cannoteat too much rhubarb. It’s absolutely myfavorite in jams, pies, breads and desserts.It’s pretty much free and plentiful andeasy to pluck. Early settlers called it the“pie plant” and must have thought it wasmanna from heaven after a “fruit-less”winter. If you don’t have a rhubarb patch,you know someone who does (trust me)and you can take theirs. Nobody wantsthis lovely rhubarb to go to waste. Here’s anovel recipe using quite a bit of honey as asweetener.Rhubarb Honey BreadSubmitted by Luanne Peterson

3 beaten eggs1 cup oil1 1/2 cups honey1 teaspoon vanilla2 cups rhubarb, cooked and sweet-

ened with 1/4 cup honey3 cups whole wheat flour1 teaspoon salt2 teaspoons baking soda1/4 teaspoon cinnamon1/2 teaspoon nutmegStir together eggs, oil, honey, vanilla

and rhubarb. Slowly add the dry ingre-dients. Divide into two loaf pans andbake at 350 F for 50 minutes. Coverwith foil the last 20 minutes.

■Three ingredients and five minutes of

prep time will have you enjoying a hot-out-of-the-oven honest-to-gosh fruit cobbler. Theavailability and variety of high-qualityfrozen fruits is remarkable these days; anadded bonus is that someone else has doneall the gathering, peeling, coring and chop-ping for you.The Dole Co., for instance, sellsfrozen blackberries, blueberries, mangoes,raspberries, strawberries, mixed berries,mixed fruits, mixed tropical fruits, cherries,pineapples and peaches.Easy Fruit CobblerSubmitted by Dennis Christianson

2 (16-ounce) bags frozen fruit (about6 cups)

1 box yellow cake mix (NO puddingin the mix)

2 cups diet lemon-lime sodaPreheat oven to 375 F. Spray a 9x15-

inch pan with nonstick pan spray. Pourboth bags of frozen fruit on the bottom ofthe pan. Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenlyover the top of the fruit, making surethere are no clumps. Pour the diet sodaover all. Do not stir! Cover with alu-minum foil and bake 20 minutes.Uncover and continue to bake another 45minutes or until nice and brown on top.Can serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

■Occasionally I need just a small cake,

one layer perhaps, to go with my lovelyfresh strawberry sauce as shortcake or touse in a parfait or for some other reason.I’ll keep the following recipe (love thename!) for just such situations where awhole cake is entirely too much.8x8-Inch One-Egg CakeSubmitted by Rita Ross

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour1/2 teaspoon salt1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder3/4 cup sugar1/4 cup shortening1/2 teaspoon vanilla1/2 cup milk1 eggSift dry ingredients. Add rest of

ingredients and mix together. Bake inan 8x8-inch pan at 350 F until “tooth-pick test” done. Makes good shortcake.

The soft gravel roads thisspring have brought a deepand literal meaning to thephrase stuck in a rut. A sen-ior saint from my churchshared that a sanitationtruck turned onto a muckyroad near her home and gotstuck up to its axles.

“I don’t know what he wasthinking,” she said. “Youcould see the road wasn’tfit.” Six hours after theypulled him out, I’m prettysure he wasn’t thinking anything good.

When ruts are deep, cars bottom out,mud cakes vehicles and traffic slows.There’s nothing beautiful about beingstuck in a rut — whether it comes byway of roads or of life. At least that’swhat I used to think.

This past week a much-loved andwell-respected farmer in our commu-nity passed away in a farm accident.He was 77 years young and dedicatedhis life to his Lord, family and commu-nity. In a disposable world of heretoday and gone tomorrow, some wouldsay he was stuck in a rut.

When he did something, he didn’t doit for a year or two; he stuck with ituntil his dying day. He was married for57 years and farmed for over 53 years.He was dedicated to jail ministry, andevery Sunday afternoon for 26 yearshe went to the local jail to show Chris-tian videos and talk about God’s love.

That’s not stuck in a rut. That’ssticking it out in every season —drought, floods and sunshine, prosper-ity and disaster, plus the good daysand the I’d-rather-forget-that-ever-happened days. Delroy was a quietman whose life spoke volumes aboutfaith and family, and whose example ina fleeting world demonstrated thevalue of endurance, longevity and per-severance.

On her blog, The Extraordinary Ordi-nary, Heather wrote:

“empathy, sympathy, compassiona passion for helpingand then ...empathy and sympathy and compas-

sionfatigue.It’s a dichotomy, isn’t it? Being

human. We care deeply for a whileabout a hundred different things andsooner or later there’s too much or toolittle and we just grow tired.”

She’s right. Caring for ahundred different things isexhausting. It will wear youout and lead to temporary,fleeting service. One personcannot meet the need ofevery need in this world.There are so many: orphans,widows, the elderly, dis-abled, lonely, hurting,grieved, sick, imprisoned,children, poor, crisis preg-nancies, human-trafficking,dying and more.

Can we all give 26 years of Sundayafternoons to each need this worldholds? Impossible. Can we all find aplace to serve for 26 years that needs aperson of passion and perseverance?You won’t have to drive down too manyrutted gravel roads to find neighbors,churches and organizations that willwarmly welcome your helping handtoday and in the successive years tocome.

Each of us is wired in a unique way,with special talents and abilities, dif-fering resources of time, energy, healthand finances, various life experiencesand individual passions. If all peoplewould do what they are wired to dobest, I believe we’d be covered. Eachneed could be met if we all do our part.

It’s kind of like a body. When eachpart does its part, it breathes andmoves and lives.

If you haven’t already, figure outwhat your unique bent is within you,and lace up your shoes. Not for a quicksprint, but for a marathon — a 26-milerun.

Stick to the refrain that quitting isn’tan option even when things are moredifficult than they first appeared.Walking off the job is unthinkableeven when the wounded we serve aremore rude than grateful. With thatkind of staying power and stamina putto work in our communities andbeyond, lives will be changed andblessed.

It’s a deep-rutted influence that can’tbe missed. If you’re looking for a visualof what that looks like in hearts, checkout a gravel road.

ILKER’S MESSAGE >>

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

Ethanol now gobbles up nearly 40 percent of theannual U.S. corn crop. Approximately 50 percent ofU.S. soybeans are marketed into foreign countries.More than 20 percent of U.S. pork gets sold over-seas.

Even Middle East countries in the midst of politi-cal turmoil continue to be major buyers of U.S. agri-cultural products. Egypt, for example, is a hugebuyer of U.S. wheat. About 60 percent of U.S. petro-leum is still imported from foreign sources.

With all of that in mind, do the same rules stillapply for U.S. farmers working up their 2011 and2012 marketing programs? The answer, accordingto University of Minnesota grain marketing special-ist Ed Usset, is “Yes.”

He acknowledged that U.S. agri-culture has been involved in worldmarkets for many years for severalcommodities, both grain and live-stock. “The growth of ethanol is cer-tainly a new player but the basics ofmarketing haven’t changed. Whathas changed is the tremendousscope of some of these markets.However the issues of marketing

still tie to the production cycle of agriculture —spring planting, fall harvesting.

“I tell people don’t look outward to what’s going onin the world. Sure, it’s comfortable to know some ofthis but don’t forget in all your looking to lookinward at your own operation. Yes, pay attention towhat the markets are doing but check the mirroreach morning and ask, ‘What’s working best forme?’”

Is the “delayed spring” outlook yet impacting com-modity markets? Usset said it likely is a minor issue,but spring floods are a good example of a relatively“local issue” getting confused with the big picture ofan international market. But what about Australiawhere nearly one-third of the country was flooded?

“Sure, because Australia is a major wheat producerand a major competitor of U.S. wheat sales intoSoutheast Asia.”

How does China, rapidly becoming a major buyerof agricultural products wherever it can get the bestdeal, impact U.S. trade? “Now you’re talking about along-term player that seems to have no end to theirappetite for U.S. soybeans. China, in the big picture,is the big reason we’re looking at $13 to $14 soy-beans.”

Usset is well aware of yield trend lines in corn andsoybean production. He pointed out the urgency ofyield trends having to accelerate in view of escalat-ing populations of people with “new buying power” inboth China and Asia.

He’s been doing marketing sessions with Min-nesota farmers for over a decade now. “Farmers aregetting better at understanding the importance andthe intricacies of marketing,” he said, “but it’s a con-tinuous learning process. It takes a long time tobreak old habits. But very definitely more producersare exploring different ways to market; trying to getsmarter. And they need to do just that.

“The last two or three decades were mostly a pro-duction test for farmers, in essence learning how toproduce more per acre. This very competitive systemhas done away with those farmers who didn’t care tokeep up with production technologies, or were sim-ply unwilling to buy in with what needed to be done.

“However the next two or three decades the focuswill be on marketing. Everyone still standing nowknows how to produce a soybean or a corn crop. Thenext step is do you know how to manage the market-ing of that crop,” Usset said.

Usset spoke at an event hosted by Renville CountyCorn-Soybean Growers.

Strange as it sounds, corn andsoybean prices don’t always domi-nate Minnesota coffee shop chat-ter.

Listen closely and you’ll hearwords like waterhemp, lambsquar-ter, giant ragweed and marestaildrift into the conversation — usu-ally blistered with some colorfuladjectives, too.

Farmers have a new weed war ontheir hands. The problem is thatglyphosate, the “magical” herbicidethat made good crop farmers out ofvirtually every farmer, no longerwins all the weed battles.

Certain weeds are fighting back,and they’re winning.

Talk with the guysin the business ofscouting and spray-ing corn and soy-bean fields and theconsensus is thatfarmers do indeedneed to get seriousabout addressing theissue of resistantweeds.

“It’s not yet an ava-lanche but we’re def-initely seeing moreresistance develop-ing across this areaeach year,” saidSteve Muhlenbruch,a certified crop consultant withFarmers Co-op Co. in Dows, Iowa,and winner of the Syngenta 2010Resistance Fighter of the Year.

In a telephone visit with The Landhe said, “Last year we saw morethan the previous year, perhapspartly due to our extreme rainfalllast spring. We had 26 inches inJune so weeds got big because wecouldn’t do timely spraying. Weincreased rates and got most of theweed issues, but some escaped.”

He’s upfront in saying the resist-ant-weeds issue will only get worseif farmers don’t start changing theirweed control strategies. Is the ten-dency of some farmers to “cut rates”partly to blame?

He pointed out that glyphosaterates are related to weed size andhe’s a firm believer in the full-ratestrategy.

“Yes, I know we do have guys thatif it calls for 22 ounces will cut to 16ounces,” Muhlenbruch said. “Whenglyphosate was more expensive Icould understand their logic. Butnow we’re at about $4.50 per acre soprice is really not an issue.”

Maybe only 5 percent of soybeansin his area are having weed resist-ance problems so far and even lessin corn fields. He mentioned most

farmers are now put-ting down “pres”(pre-emergence her-bicides) to try to holddown that weedbank. But surplusmoisture at thewrong time and sud-denly that Roundupwindow has closed.

“Because of that Idid have a few cornfields where giantragweed was stand-ing a foot or twoabove the corn.”

Muhlenbruch does-n’t see resistant

weeds any more of an issue forgrowers into continuous corn. “Actu-ally it’s easier to keep the corn cleanthan it is the beans. It’s been 10 to12 years of Roundup on the beansversus only three to four years withheavy use on the corn. Plus the cornguys seem more willing to go with apre-emergence treatment too.”

Typical pre-emerge products forhis co-op are Prowl H20, Prefix,Boundary, Lexar and Lumax. Newpost products for tank mix usagewith glyphosate are Warrant (newMonsanto post-emergence product)and Flexstar GT.

This veteran crop consultant seescombinations of pre and post prod-ucts as definitely being new strate-gies to stay ahead of the resistanceissue. “I’d say 85 percent of our beanacres this year will be combinationtreated one way or another; mostoften a tank mix of two products,”Muhlenbruch said. That could be

Pursuit, or most any other productthat works in tank mix usage.

Is soil type and drainage an issuein weed resistance symptoms? “Yes,certain soil conditions seem morelikely to be generating resistantissues. Your heavier, clay soils willhold moisture longer and problemweeds like waterhemp just seem togerminate better in these condi-tions.”

Going combo does increase costs,he said, especially in view of currentretail prices on glyphosate.

“But only about $10 to $12 for apre package or about the cost of onebushel of soybeans. The slightlyhigher costs are really not a factor

for most producers. They seem tounderstand it’s better to stayahead of the issue, than to playcatch-up after you’ve got some seri-ous resistance issues,” Muhlen-bruch said.

He’s encouraged by how rapidlyfarmers are picking up on thisgrowing resistant weed issue andtheir understanding that newstrategies need to be put to work.

Syngenta spokesman ChuckForeman said glyphosate resist-ance was first noted in 1998. Lastyear approximately 11 millionacres of cropland were showingsome evidence of weed resistance.

In 2009, 54 percent of all cottonacres in Georgia had to be hand-weeded following the use ofglyphosate-based herbicides.

Syngenta initiated the ResistanceFighter of the Year award in 2009as a means of drawing more atten-tion to the glyphosate resistanceissue.

Giant ragweed Marestail

By CAROLYN VAN LOHThe Land Correspondent

Time is running out for the UnitedStates to sign free trade agreementswith Korea, Panama and Colombia.

Our country’s system of approvingtrade agreements includes Congress aswell as our president, and “politics” slowsdown the process of reaching agreementswith other countries. As a result, coun-tries like Korea, Panama and Colombia

become impatient andsign trade agreementsto import agriculturalproducts from our com-petitor nations.

The Minnesota FarmBureau delegation toWashington, D.C., inearly April learnedthe importance ofFTAs during their visit to the Colom-bian Government Trade Bureau. Thesame day, Colombian President JuanManuel Santos and President Obamareached a tentative agreement.

Andres de la Cadena, deputy directorof the Colombian Government TradeBureau, used hiscountry to illustratethe urgency of theUnited States sign-ing FTAs. Colom-bia’s imports nearlytripled from 2003-08. At the current pace,China, Colombia’s sec-ond largest tradingpartner, will soon sur-pass the United States.

According to Cadena,inaction on the FTAapproved five years agois costing Americabecause other countries are activelyprocuring agreements with Colombia.In 2008, U.S. farmers were the mainsuppliers of agriculture goods to Colom-bia; in 2009, Argentina passed theUnited States; last year the UnitedStates lost its preeminence in Columbia.

Cadena zeroed in on how a Colom-bian FTA could affect Minnesota agri-culture. His country currently imports$4 billion in agricultural products,with that number doubling every threeyears. He went on to say that his coun-try could absorb nearly all Minnesota’sagriculture exports.

In May the White House announcedthat it was ready to begin free trade talkswith Congress. The Korean pact wassigned in December, and the administra-tion settled the Panamanian agreementin April. Colombia’s agreement can nowmove forward since Bogota put into placeregulations regarding violence againstlabor leaders and union members, ameasure demanded by the United States.

The U.S. House of Representativesagriculture committee held a hearingMay 12. U.S. Department of Agricul-ture Secretary Vilsack and U.S. TradeRepresentative Ron Kirk encouragedpassage of the three FTAs.

“American agriculture derives more

success from exportmarkets than do manyother sectors,” Kirktestified.

American FarmBureau FederationPresident Bob Stall-man and representa-tives from four farmcommodity groups

stressed “swift consideration,” as artic-ulated by Bill Donald, president of theNation Cattlemen’s Beef Association.

Donald went on to say, “We cannotafford to wait any longer to implementthem. It’s time. Not six months fromnow. Right now.”

Iowa porkfarmer Sam Car-ney, speaking onbehalf of theNational PorkProducers Coun-cil, told the com-mittee that theseFTAs will createmore than 10,200jobs in the porkindustry along.

Stallman alsostressed the impor-tance of moving

quickly to approve the FTAs. “Due to theadministration and Congress’ inactionon these agreements, the debate is nolonger about generating potential exportgains but about how to prevent the lossof existing export markets.”

National Farmers Union PresidentRoger Johnson stood alone in opposi-tion to the agreements. He remindedthe committee that the NFU “has his-torically opposed free trade agreementson the basis that the agreements weremore likely to increase imports ratherthan open new markets to U.S. goods.”He went on to say that U.S. agricultureusually does worse after the govern-ment signs new trade agreements.

Johnson also said that the three agree-ments will “force thousands of Ameri-cans out of their jobs, result in the impor-tation of products that could be produceddomestically, and displace our own fam-ily farmers, ranchers and fishermen.”

Farmers are encouraged to commu-nicate their position on the FTAs totheir lawmakers in Washington duringthe approval process. They must speakout at town hall meetings and invitelawmakers to their farms.

When Congress prepares to pass theFTAs, farmers need to call or e-mailtheir representatives and senators sothey will know farmers’ position.

Bob Stallman Roger Johnson

(FTAs will) force thou-sands of Americans outof their jobs, result in theimportation of productsthat could be produceddomestically, and dis-place our own familyfarmers, ranchers andfishermen.

— Roger Johnson


Brian Knochenmus, vicepresident of Ralco NutritionInc. said “government intru-sion” keeps ramping up morechallenges for the livestockfeed industry, too.

“The biggest challenge facingus right now,” he said, “is theFood Safety Modernization Act signedby President Obama Jan. 4. It’s creat-ing some new intricacies for the feedindustry. In essence it means theequivalent of HACCP (Hazard Analy-sis and Critical Control Point) ratingsin all of our feed mills.”

Knochenmus alluded that this wouldbe a daunting task to get that accom-plished and this new legislation drivesfood safety to new levels within thefeed industry. For many mills it willeven mean new machinery and in mostcases it means further definingprocesses and identifying critical con-trol points within the feed manufac-turing system.

“When energy is such a critical com-ponent for the world, and more specifi-cally for us in the feed business, wereally have to fine-tune our livestockdiets to stay focused on energy, espe-cially as some of our feedstock ingredi-ents keep increasing in price,”Knochenmus said.

With critical amino acidsbeing the “building blocks” ofmany feedstuffs, he said theindustry today uses a lot ofcrystalline amino acids whichpermit fine-tuning of the dietsand make better use of theenergy within the system.Enzymes too are becomingnew technology within the

industry with synthetics now becom-ing key sources in diet formulations.

“In the past many enzymes wereused just on top of diets in hopes thatperformance got better. Our scientists(Ralco employees 13 PhDs at its Mar-shall, Minn., headquarters) aredrilling into what will the enzymeunlock so that in essence we can ‘defor-mulate’ the diet yet maintain perform-ance and get better utilization out ofthe ingredients in the diet.”

Will there be considerably differentfeed formulations down the road? “Nodoubt about that. Ours is a constantlychanging industry with intense compe-tition to keep improving our products.To recognize that agriculture needs toproduce twice as much food in 50 yearssimply means our feed products needto keep getting better in terms of feedefficiency and rate of gain.”

If farmers in the future can grow cer-tain corn hybrids which produce morefeed value, will the feed industry be

paying a premium for these “nutrition-ally richer” corns?

“Yes, if we can define nutrientmatrixes that are more beneficial tothe animal nutrition industry,”Knochenmus said, adding that the keywill be getting those supplies to theanimals. “There are some things towork out but there’s no doubt that hasto be our goal.”

Will corn be purchased on the basisof amino acid content and overallenergy values? He simply said thatcorn will be a driving force in feedinglivestock as long as it is grown. Feedstuffs can and do vary considerablyfrom season to season, even from loadto load for Ralco. “That keys into theimportance of new analytical tech-niques where we can drill into thenutrient matrix of the ingredient on areal-time basis,” Knochenmus said.

Higher corn costs continue toimpact the economics of feeding live-stock, and in fact formulating feedproducts.

“It’s been a struggle for the dairy,hog, poultry, even the beef industryover the past two to three years andit’s a daunting task to get things mov-ing favorably for all participants. We’redaily looking at ‘least cost’ formula-tions versus ‘best cost’ economics.”

Ralco Nutrition markets into 38states across America plus 13 differ-ent countries including much ofEurope, the Middle East and Africaplus the Asian and Latin Americanmarkets. The firm produces feeds forthe entire livestock matrix.

Knochenmus was interviewed at aBioscience Conference held in April inWorthington, Minn.

With 30-plus systems now posi-tioned with farmers, custom applica-tors and retailers in southern Min-nesota since he first introduced thestrategy in 2006, Bernie Paulson ofMcPherson Crop Management Inc.,Janesville, Minn., is feeling confident

that crop canopy sensing can become aprofitable tool for many farmers.

GreenSeeker is the marketing namefor this Trimble technology whichincorporates infrared scanning of cornleaf surfaces to give you on-the-govariable rate application of nitrogen.The marketing lingo describes this as

a technology that allows you to applythe right amount, in the right place, atthe right time. These applications aremade in real time as you travel acrossthe field.$20-per-acre advantage

GreenSeeker users have conductedhundreds of side-by-side yield compar-isons with and without the technology,and generally users are coming homewith a $20-per-acre advantage overand above the cost of application andthe cost of nitrogen, Paulson said.

How much additional N does the sys-tem apply in these on-the-go applica-tions? “Generally we’re adding 10 to 15pounds per acre on the low end and 30to 40 lbs./acre on the high end on mostapplications,” Paulson said. For mostfarmers in southern Minnesota, theGreenSeeker treatment follows theapplication of 75 to 80 percent of the

total nitrogen requirements via pre-plant and/or starter.

“The GreenSeeker program thencomes on with a final ‘touch up’ onthose areas of the field showing somenitrogen deficiencies after corn hasreached a minimum of V5 growthstage right on up to shoulder-high cornif needed,” Paulson said.

Last year corn came on so fast insome fields that it was already neartassel by the time of the GreenSeekerpass. Side-by-side yield comparisons inthese late applications indicated up to15 bushels per acre yield responses,even at this later stage in the season,Paulson said.

N source is typically 28 percent or 32percent solution but urea applied witha high clearance spinner spreader unit

There are three crop sensorreflectance monitoring systems com-mercially available to growers:GreenSeeker, OptRx and CropSpec. Allthree systems use active sensor tech-nology to measure crop reflectance.This measurement is used to assesscanopy greenness and biomass todetermine crop nitrogen requirements.

Active sensors function by emittingtheir own source of modulated light ontothe crop canopy and then measuring thepercent of modulated light reflectedfrom the canopy back to the sensor.More specifically, the GreenSeeker andOptRx use light-emitting diodes and the

CropSpec uses laser diodes for emittinglight; reflectance is measured by allsensors using photodiodes.

The reason sensors use modulatedlight is to distinguish natural sunlightfrom their own emitted light. Thisunique feature, accomplished with elec-trical circuits, allows the sensors tofunction equally well in conditionsranging from darkness to full sunlight.Operationally, these sensors can bemounted on N fertilizer applicatorsequipped with computer processing andvariable rate controllers so that sensingand fertilization are done in one pass.

SENSORS, from pg. 10is also an option. Paulson, a certifiedcrop adviser, said the nitrogen sourcedoesn’t matter to the corn plant. Gen-erally the nitrogen solution is appliedbetween the rows; the urea gets sprin-kled over the top of the corn and fallsto the soil.

“You get a few burn specks on theleaves but most of it gets to the groundsurface where it’s readily available forthe corn.” Research documents that Nloss can happen with surface applica-tions, however these losses are limitedto 10 to 15 percent of total N appliedup to two weeks after application.One piece of the puzzle

Is crop canopy sensoring the nextstep toward 300-bushel corn yields?Paulson said this system can be a com-ponent of that 300-bushel strategy,though it’s only one piece of an entiremanagement system.

“If you haven’t taken care of yourdrainage, phosphorous, your potas-sium, sulfur and the bulk of your nitro-gen requirements prior to theGreenSeeker application, it’s not goingto fill that void in your overall fertilityprogram,” he said.

Prior to getting into crop canopy

scanning, Paulson suggested it wise tofirst do the proper soil sampling toimplement the overall fertility pro-gram, even accounting for different soiltypes within a given field. Then it’s amatter of continued crop scouting andside-dressing applications as needed.

Working with a custom applicator, hefeels it important that a grower andhis agronomist establish a base planeven before the crop is planted. “Thatmeans, for example, starting with avariable-rate pre-plant and/or starternitrogen,” Paulson said. “Perhaps thatgrower is working with a manuremaintenance program also. The pointbeing your custom applicator wants towork with you on your total fertilitystrategy so that the GreenSeeker unitmakes a pass through your fields atprecisely the right time.”

Any high-clearance sprayer unit canbe fitted with the sensors. “We have sys-tems installed on RoGators, MillerNitros, Hagie units, Case-IH Patriots,John Deere, virtually any high-clear-ance unit,” he said. “We also have sys-tems on manufactured tool bars, home-made tool bars and modified cultivators.It matters not the machinery as long asit works for that particular farmer.”

System part of yield strategy

See SENSORS, pg. 12


After seven seasons of “canopywork” with corn at the SouthernResearch and Outreach Center inWasesa, Minn., soil scientist JeffVetch believes location may be criticalfor the technology’s success. In theCentral Corn Belt where theGreenSeeker was developed (Okla-homa State University) the cropcanopy technology is more positive.

“Hybrids in that area have a muchlonger grain fill period, and longeruptake period,” Vetch said, “thus nitro-gen ‘corrections’ during the V5 to V7stage have a longer time frame to dotheir work.”

The Waseca studies involved usingthe GreenSeeker technology as a smallplot diagnostic tool. They used fieldplots with fixed rates of nitrogen fertil-izer which were then “sensed” at V7 andV9-V10 growth stages. They also sensed

as late as V12 and did some applica-tions that late also. The GreenSeekerwas used to see if it could identify Nstress at any of these stages. Some sitesit was successful; others it wasn’t.

“I think in our high organic soils,especially in corn following soybeans,”he said, “there was enough mineraliza-tion of nitrogen in those early growthstages up even to V8 to meet the needsof the corn. So if you delayed yourapplication until what theGreenSeeker was sensing it was diffi-cult to measure differences betweenthe control strips and the referencestrips that had adequate fertilization.”

In corn-on-corn trials, however, thatdelineation was obvious and some-times showed early (V5), so nitrogenapplications based on sensing at thattime was noticeable. But if applicationwas delayed until corn plants showedstress, yield losses were unrecoverable.

“I think the challenge here in theNorthern Cornbelt is that our corn isin a jackrabbit race to the finish line,”Vetch said. “Any stress during that V5to V7 stage when those plants are set-ting yield potentials can reduce yieldpotentials throughout the growing sea-son, and any mid-season nitrogen cor-rections just don’t register.”

SENSORS, from pg. 11Time and money

Application speed varies, of course,with the size of the unit, but Paulsonsuggested a 16-row unit (40-foot boom)traveling 8 mph would be coveringabout 40 acres an hour. A self-propelledsprayer could easily cover 100 acres anhour. This last “nitrogen touch up”practice certainly isn’t a serious timeconsumer as long as the proper supportequipment is providing “refilling” asneeded. These high-clearance sprayerswith 90-foot and 120-foot booms plus800- to 1,200-gallon tanks doing five to10 gallons per acre application ratescan cover several hundred acres in ashort period of time.

According to Paulson, depending ontoolbar or boom configuration, with allrequired equipment, installation andtraining will run between $13,000 to$22,000. “Figuring minimum $20 peracre payback in saved N or increasedyield, 650 to 1,200 acres will pay for thecost of the system.”

Relating to the growing issue of farm-ers having to account for exactly where,when and how much fertility wasapplied to a given field, Paulson said thebest way to reduce N loss is to shortenthe time between when you apply it andwhen the crop needs it. Crop canopysensing during the growing seasonmight be part of that strategy.

“With nitrogen costing 50 cents, 60cents and higher, the question becomeshow do we manage our inputs to getthe most mileage out of every one ofthose dollars going into producing thecrop. We think the GreenSeeker sys-tem is one helpful step,” Paulson said.He indicated 75 percent of systems aregoing into the custom application mar-ket. Farmers who purchase for theirown use often are applying for neigh-

bors also. He ventured that almost allsystems are doing some custom work.Big applicator

One of the biggest GreenSeeker cus-tom applicators in Minnesota is Crys-tal Valley Co-op of Lake Crystal. Thisseason the co-op will be running eightGreenSeeker units.

“As we move forward with higheryielding hybrids and yield goals, we seemore need for split applications ofnitrogen,” said Tony Jacobs, agronomysales lead for the co-op. “And if we canvary the N rate as we move across thelandscape, canopy technology camealong as the best tool for helping us getthat job done. Plus it virtually elimi-nates wasting nitrogen.”

They run the GreenSeeker throughfields starting at V6 to V8 growth stage.“That’s when nitrogen demand goesexponential in that plant but we’re run-ning even as late as V12 and still meas-uring N deficiencies.” They use 28 per-cent N applied in a concentratedhigh-pressure stream between each row.

Because of current economics andyield goals, Crystal Valley Co-op pro-motes three trips for nitrogen, espe-cially if in a corn-on-corn program. Pre-plant could be either fall anhydrous orspring-applied urea plus starter, plusthe GreenSeeker application at theappropriate growth stage.

“We calibrate for target rates andmostly suggest a 75 percent-25 percentapplication schedule. Typically weaverage eight to 12 gallons per acre forthe 28 percent N through theGreenSeeker system.”

There’s an angel that is out tohelp new businesses in Minnesota.

The Minnesota Angel Network isa consortium of private investorswith potential assistance from theMinnesota Department of Employ-ment and Economic Development.Its primary purpose is to functionas the facilitator between potentialinvestors and potential new busi-nesses.

Todd Leonard, MAN executivedirector officed in St. Louis Park,said, “the Angel investor is catego-rized as an individual or group ofinvestors who invest their ownmoney in companies or technologiesthat they are passionate about. Theconcept of Angel investors is notnew as evidenced by Minnesota’smany value-added cooperatives. Butwe are finding numerous pocketsaround the state of individuals or

groups of individuals, be it localLion’s Club members or other com-munity-based networks that want toinvest in their communities.

“What we look for are thoseinvestors who are driven with theambition of reinvesting in Min-nesota,” Leonard said, emphasizingthat the Minnesota Angel Network isa non-profit organization to assistthe entrepreneur-minded individu-als or local community groups. “Thisdoes not mean developing a businessplan for a startup company, butrather putting the focus on what ittakes to get a new company or anexpanding company ready forinvestors.”

Some questions explored: What arethe projected returns? How do youprotect the initial investors? What isthe exit strategy? How will you for-mulate your company so that yourstock is set up for success should you

need multiple rounds of stock offer-ings? Even something as basic ashow do you talk to an investor?

The Minnesota Angel Network ispart of The BioBusiness Alliance ofMinnesota’s Full Spectrum Fundinginitiative that is focused on improv-ing the funding environment forstart-up companies, statewide. “TheBioBusiness Alliance helps facilitatestatewide initiatives. It also sup-ports start-up companies looking tostart, grow or relocate to Minnesota.”

The Worthington BioScience Cen-ter is one of the current initiatives ofthe Angel Network. In RedwoodFalls, Leonard related to the Centerfor Excellence for Macro cycle Devel-opment. His agency is doing woodymass projects in northern Minnesotaand prairie grass projects in westcentral Minnesota. “We help facili-tate statewide initiatives, do the ini-tial research for the initiatives, andhelp start implementing the process.A spin-off from the work of theBioBusiness Alliance is the BioBusi-ness Resource Network, a group thathelps companies get started.”

Over the past two years, this grouphas helped more than 193 compa-nies. Almost half of those companiesare located in Greater Minnesota.

One such company is RedwoodFalls-based Fresh EcoHarvest. FreshEcoHarvest does platform growth ofvarious plant life and is getting 10 to14 harvests per year from a normalvine crop such as tomatoes that typi-cally produces one crop each season.

It assisted Fresh EcoHarvest’sefforts by facilitating introduction,identifying funding sources and pro-viding general business advisory andis often the primary catalyst in thestartup of many bioscience relatedcompanies.

“Minnesota has a number ofunique bioscience undertakings.Minnesota is noted for its creativeand entrepreneurial spirit. But therehas never been a place for aninvestor to look at statewide compa-nies nor has there been a reliableand convenient source for companiesto find investors who are interestedin Minnesota. The Minnesota AngelNetwork provides those services toboth parties,” Leonard said.

In practical terms, the MinnesotaAngel Network is the online portalthat first qualifies companies forassistance and then introducesinvestors to these various compa-nies. Because of potential privacyissues, a potential investor is neveridentified to a particular company,unless they wish to be identified.“Even inside the portal there is com-plete confidentiality so there is noexposure to others of any potentialbusiness alliance,” Leonard said.

Grain AnglesNo secrets

in the marketsThe rain falls, storms rage and rivers rise. This

has been the story of the 2011 planting season. Thevast majority of the corn crop has been planted, yetthere are areas that still struggle to put the seed inthe ground. The Mississippi River Valley continuesto be challenged as the flood gates are opened, put-ting hundreds of thousands ofacres of farmland under water.

Investment funds had liqui-dated many of their positions inthe commodity markets only torush back in to reestablish theirpositions. The corn market hasfactored into its price the loss of 1million to 3 million acres and aless-than-trend-line yield. That isthe function of the futures mar-kets — to factor in all the knowl-edge known into the price. Thereare no secrets in the markets,only the changing fundamentalsand the psychological reactions to them. These reac-tions create the volatility that is present in today’smarkets.

Fundamentally, with fewer acres expected to beplanted and forecasted growing conditions, the cornsupplies will remain tight with the current demand.The rebuilding of stocks will be challenging barringsome significant destruction of demand. If plannedcorn acres are shifted to soybeans, this will addstocks to the record South American crop. Thewheat crop on the Plains is being challenged bydrought. France and Germany, the major wheat-pro-ducing areas of Western Europe, are also experienc-ing drought that threatens crop production. Worldwheat stocks have been strong, but will be drawn

Grain OutlookWeather hogging

the headlinesThe following market analysis is for the week end-

ing May 27.CORN — Weather maintained its place on the

front page this week as growers struggled to finishup corn planting and push on to soybeans.

Corn planting last week at 79percent was about as expected,but still behind the average.Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Michi-gan and North Dakota were allat least 25 percent behind theirfive-year average. For the comingweek, May 30 corn planting isestimated to be 85 percent to 90percent complete versus the five-year average of 94 percent com-plete.

We may see our first crop condi-tion report this coming week ifemergence is above 50 percent.The eastern Corn Belt continues to receive nearlydaily rain, although the six- to 10-day NationalWeather Service forecast for June 1-5 is forecastingwarmer and drier conditions. The Upper Midwest forthe same time frame warms up, but with above aver-age rainfall.

The market was counting on everyone’s productionthis year to avoid declining year-on-year endingstocks. This looks unlikely to happen with the wetareas (particularly Ohio and North Dakota) strug-gling. Final production will also hinge on how manyextra acres went to corn in the western Corn Beltwhere they had minimal planting delays.

Major questions that won’t be answered for awhileare how many corn acres will be switched to another

Livestock AnglesCattle market

under pressureSince the start of May the livestock markets have

been under some pressure, especially the cattle mar-ket. Shrinking demand due to the high cutout pricesand shrinking domestic disposable income were themajor contributing factors in the recent weakness.

Cattle have been on the slidesince the early days of April andas numbers of ready cattle pickedup in May, the drop in pricesbecame more prominent. The factthat beef cutouts reached levelsthat retailers began to balk at thehigh prices reflected the weaken-ing demand for beef. Weather hasalso had an influence on demandas the late spring has hurt theearly grilling season. As beefcutouts have come down, therehas been an increase in retaildemand, especially for the Memo-rial Day weekend business.

The futures have seen a far more drastic fall thanthe cash market as hedge and index funds began toliquidate their long positions. This has put thefutures at a discount to cash and a favorable basis forfeedlots.

On May 20 the U.S. Department of Agriculturereleased the Monthly Cattle on Feed Report. Theresults are as follows: on feed May 1, 107 percent;placed in April, 110 percent; and marketed duringApril, 97 percent. The report was interpreted as bear-ish as placements were well higher than expected.This would lead one to believe that cattle prices maycontinue to remain on the defensive for the next sev-eral months because of the ample supplies. The factthat the market may be oversold at the present time,

NYSTROM, from pg. 15crop, how many will just beplanted late, and how manygrowers will take the prevented plant option andnot plant those acres at all. May 25 was the finalplanting date in part of North Dakota and June 5 isthe date for Ohio and Indiana.

Trade talk is circulating that the corn acreagenumber may begin with an 8 instead of a 9 thisyear. A Reuters survey indicates the average tradeguess for planted acreage is 90.35 (92.2 U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture) million acres of corn and 76.76(76.6 USDA) million acres of soybeans.

The weaker U.S. dollar also lent good support tocommodities in general during the week. The dollarhas fallen to support as the week ended and thetrend has turned lower after last week’s key rever-sal higher. Renewed concerns about European debtand non-stellar U.S. economic reports were the cata-lysts for the dipping dollar.

Fund rolls will begin next week and continue forabout two weeks.This could put additional pressure onthe July contract while lending support to new crop.

Ethanol margins are in the black and productionwas up 2,000 barrels per day for the week endingMay 20. At least one chicken company is talkingabout cutting production after July 4 if marginsdon’t improve, but we haven’t heard that yet fromthe ethanol industry.

Weekly export sales were as expected at 28.6 millionbushels for old crop and 2.1 million for new crop.

OUTLOOK: Planting progress, weather, crop con-ditions and demand point upward, but with a newcontract high this week in the December contract at$6.84 3/4, you may want to consider how you protectagainst downside moves if next week’s weather isconducive to widespread corn planting.

World weather forecasts look bettergoing into the weekend, but dryness inFrance, Germany, China and Russia needs

to be watched.Old crop basis levels are strong which suggests fur-

ther upside until we ration. July corn was down apenny this week at $7.58 1/2 and the December wasup 17 1/2 cents at $6.84 per bushel.

SOYBEANS — Fundamentally, soybeans have abearish tone; however, technically, they are holding theirown in old crop and showing an uptrend in new crop.

Demand for soybeans is fading with mostimporters looking to source South American soy-beans. Celeres out of Brazil reported that farmershad sold 65 percent of their bean crop, right on theaverage for this time of year.

China also announced sales of 2.1 million metrictons of reserve beans to their processors at belowmarket prices. This was part of 3 mmt announcedearlier in the month. China has more than 2 mmt ofunshipped U.S. soybeans for this year still on thebooks. An agency in China lowered their import fore-cast from 54 mmt to 53 mmt (USDA is at 54.5 mmt).

Soybean basis was flat to lower this week in the

U.S. and Brazilian basis was lower.Soybean planting is anticipated to reach 54 percent

complete on Memorial Day versus the five-year averageof 71 percent and up from last week’s 41 percent com-plete. Bean planting is running up against the sameweather as corn, but there could be more soybean acresthan originally planned due to the delays in corn plant-ings. For now, it could be a wash of more bean acres fromcorn versus bean acres that can’t get planted.

Export sales were neutral at 6 million bushels for oldcrop and a negative 200,000 bushels for new crop. TheApril crush report was in line with estimates at 128million bushels, but was still the lowest April crush inseven years. The implied meal usage was down 8.5percent year on year and the lowest since 1997.

OUTLOOK: It will most likely take a weather eventor general commodity strength to propel soybeans intonew highs. South America may well end up withrecord ending stocks this year, U.S. bean acreage has adecent chance to increase, and China is conspicuouslyabsent, which makes soybeans a follower.

July soybeans were down 1/2 cent at the close at$13.79 3/4 while the November contract was up 18cents at $13.68 1/2 per bushel.

TEALE, from pg. 15only presents the possibility that a short-term rallymight be possible. Producers should be cognizant ofthe current market conditions and use any strengthto protect inventories.

Hogs have not really suffered the same fate as thecattle market, as prices have remained almoststeady to even higher. The futures market has suf-fered the most weakness during the past few weeks,narrowing the gap between futures and cash whichhad been abnormally wide.

During the early part of May the pork cutoutsreached record levels, but because of the higher

prices domestic demand soon began to suffer. Theexport demand has continued to be a plus and,because of the disparity of pork prices in comparisonto other meats, should continue to remain fairly firm.

Obviously the delayed spring has also hurt domes-tic demand as the grilling season has not yet gotteninto full swing. Seasonally, we normally see a declinein hog prices into the fall and this year looks to benormal again. Producers should be aware of the sea-sonality of the market and use premiums and ralliesin the market to protect inventories.

Demand will dictate the future price movement inlivestock markets over the next few months, not nec-essarily the supply.

NEHER, from pg. 15down with smaller crop production.

The long-term fundamentals of supply and demandare expected to remain strong for the next severalyears. If this continues to support high grain prices,continued inflation of land, inputs and machinerywill prevail. All of this will take place in an environ-ment of volatility that may challenge our mental for-titude and management.

The current situation will create additional volatil-ity in both the futures markets and the cash mar-kets. Grain in the Upper Midwest that was expectedto be shipped in the nearby, will be backed up in thepipeline until the river system is cleared. This willtend to keep the basis bids soft until grain starts tomove efficiently.

On the other side of the river in the southeasternUnited States, basis will remain strong until the sup-

ply line delivers much-needed inventory.

In my last column I stated that the commoditymarkets acted tired and were losing momentum.Since that time, we have seen investment money andend-users come back into the market, driving priceshigher. As of this writing, the old highs have not beentaken out and continue to hold.

This has been a reflection of the continued plantingstruggle. As the U.S. Department of Agricultureplanting progress and crop condition reports roll out,the market will find reason to further challenge theold highs or test the downside.

Remember that “Where the markets will go,nobody knows” and “Where the money flows, themarkets will go.” Margin management continues toprovide the Grain Angle to help us build a war chestof working capital. This will be the “shock absorber”that will help cushion a Black Swan landing.

Investors, end-users back in the market

Many farmers in the UpperMidwest are dealing with lateplanting conditions for cornand soybeans in 2011.

Some of these producers willsoon be facing decisions onwhether to plant corn, theintended crop, at a later-than-normal planting date, switchto an alternative crop such assoybeans, or decide to collectprevented planting coverageon their 2011 corn crop.

For producers with Fed-eral Crop Insurance cover-age on corn and soybeans in2011, the “Prevented Planting” provisionsof their crop insurance policies couldaffect the late planting decision. It isimportant for producers to consult withtheir crop insurance agent before finaliz-ing any decisions on planting a crop afterthe final planting deadline, or switchingcrops from corn to soybeans after May 31in Minnesota, Iowa and South Dakota.

According to the U.S. Department ofAgriculture Risk Management Agency,producers have the following optionswith regards to delayed or preventedplanting later than the establishedfinal planting dates (Remember, theseprovisions are not applicable until afterthe final planting dates).

• Plant the insured crop during thelate planting period, which is typically25 days following the established finalplanting date for a given crop. (Exam-ple: A final planting date of May 31 forcorn would result in a late plantingperiod from June 1-25.) The crop insur-ance coverage is reduced by 1 percentfor each day after the final plantingdate for the next 25 days.

• Plant the intended crop after the 25-day Late Planting Period. Crops that areplanted after the 25-day Late PlantingPeriod are insured at the same level asthe prevented planting insurance cover-age, which is60 percent ofthe originalcrop insur-ance guaran-tee for mostcorn and soy-beans. (Exam-ple: An origi-nal revenueguaranteewith an 80percent RPcrop insur-ance policy of$800 per acrewould resultin a $480 pre-

vented planting guarantee.)• Leave the unplanted

crop acreage idle (blackdirt). Eligible producerscan then receive the full

prevented plantingcoverage, typically 60percent of the original

crop insurance guaran-tee for corn and soybeans.

• Plant a cover crop rather than theintended crop, and receive the full pre-vented planting payment (60 percent ofguarantee on the intended crop). Thecover crop can not be used for haying andgrazing until after Nov. 1 of the crop year,and cannot be harvested at any time.

• Plant another crop (second crop)after the late planting period hasended. In this situation, haying, graz-ing or harvesting of the second cropcould occur at any time before or afterNov. 1. The prevented planting pay-ment is reduced to 35 percent of theoriginal prevented planted payment.(Example: $800/acre original guaranteex 0.60 = $480/acre x 0.35 = $168/acre)

Note:The payment reductions (65 per-cent of the full prevented planting cover-age) for a second crop may not apply, if theproducer meets the “double-cropping” spec-ifications in a crop insurance policy.Typi-cally this does not apply to corn and soy-bean insurance policies in the Midwest.

Here are some additional points to con-sider relative to late planting and pre-vented planting crop insurance coveragefor corn and soybeans.Late planting insurance coverage

As mentioned earlier, the productionguarantee is reduced by 1 percent for

each day that corn or soybeans areplanted after the Final Planting Datefor the next 25 days. The situation getsmore complicated if part of a cropinsurance unit is planted before theFinal Planting Date, but the balance ofthe acreage is planted on variousplanting dates after that date, which is

more likely to occur if the producerchose to insure the 2011 corn and soy-bean crop utilizing “enterprise units”.

Check out Example 1 to demon-strate the variations in late plantinginsurance coverage.Prevented planting insurancecoverage

As mentioned earlier, producers ofeligible crops who are not able to planttheir intended crop by the final plant-ing date, due to weather conditions ornatural disasters, may choose not to

PROGRAMS, from pg. 17plant the crop at all.

In which case, the producer with a qualifying cropinsurance policy would qualify for prevented plant-ing insurance coverage, which is 60 percent of theoriginal insurance guarantee. Producers with groupinsurance coverage policies (GRP or GRIP) are noteligible for prevented planting insurance coverage.Remember, if a producer chooses to accept a full pre-vented planting payment on all or part of a cropinsurance farm unit, they cannot plant and harvesta second crop, and cannot hay and graze a cover cropuntil after Nov. 1. Failure to comply with this couldresult is loss of crop insurance coverage for the 2011crop year, as well as potential other penalties.

If a second crop is planted instead of the intendedcrop after final planting date and before the end of thelate planting period ends, the crop insurance coverageon the second crop would replace the insurance cover-age on the first crop, provided the second crop is eligiblefor crop insurance coverage. If a second crop is plantedafter the late planting period ends, the producer couldreceive 35 percent of the prevented planting coverageon the intended crop, and would have reduced insur-ance coverage on the second crop. It is important that

producers contacttheir crop insur-

ance agent beforeplanting the second cropin order to maintainmaximum insurancecoverage.

Check Example 2 todemonstrate the varia-tions in late plantinginsurance coverage.Minimum acreage forprevented planting

To qualify for pre-vented planting insur-ance coverage and pay-ments, affected areasmust be a minimum of20 acres in size, or 20percent of the totalinsured acreage, onfarm units of less than100 acres. Small areasof land do not qualifyfor prevented planting coverage, which could be afactor on some smaller land tracts with optional unitinsurance coverage.

Meeting the 20 percent threshold may be easierwith enterprise units, if most crop acres are affected;however, it could become more difficult if some farmsare affected, and some are not.Key points on crop insurance coverage withlate and prevented planting

• All prevented planting crop insurance lossesmust be reported to the crop insurance agent before

the producer does any additional options regarding asecond crop or cover crop.

• Producers need to keep good records and documen-tation of all crop insurance losses, and make sure thatthose losses are verified by the crop insurance agent.

• Producers should review their crop insurancepolicy or consult their crop insurance agent to makesure that they understand all requirements, restric-tions, etc., relative to their crop insurance coveragewith late and prevented planting.

• Producers need to remember that they are notforced to plant the intended crop after the final

Happy Dairy Month.I know it will be a happy Dairy Month for con-

sumers because there’ll be no shortage of safe, whole-some dairy products to enjoy but will it be a happyDairy Month for farmers? That’s another issue.

On the bright side for farmers, dairy product prices

continued to move higher going into theMemorial Day weekend. Cash block

cheese, after posting 11 consecutive gains,closed that Friday at $1.81 per pound, up 10.25 centson the week and 34.5 cents above a year ago.

Barrel closed at $1.8175, up 10.75 cents on theweek, 38.75 cents above a year ago, and three-quar-ters above the blocks. One car of block was the onlycash cheese traded on the week, the gains all came on

• Producers need to consult their crop insuranceagent before planting a second crop, such as soy-beans, on intended corn acres to make sure theyunderstand all the crop insurance implications, andthe potential affect on possible crop insuranceindemnity payments.

• Producers who are facing late corn planting afterthe final planting date should analyze the overallfinancial implications of planting corn late, plantingsoybeans or collecting a prevented planting cropinsurance payment.

• A producer’s crop insurance agent is the bestsource of information on late and prevented plantingcrop insurance coverage. The following websites alsohave some good information on late and preventedplanting insurance options.

Iowa State University Ag Decision Maker website:www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm

USDA RMA website: www.rma.usda.govBottom line

Every producer’s situation is different when it comes tolate and prevented planting situations.As a result, thebest option will vary considerably from farm-to-farm.

In addition to differences in production practicesand yield potential, there are differences in level ofinsurance coverage, optional or enterprise units, andother crop insurance provisions. The choice that a pro-ducer makes could result in a difference of thousandsof dollars in the potential insurance coverage that isavailable. That is why it is so critical for producers toconsult with their crop insurance agent before finaliz-ing late and prevented planting crop decisions.

<< MILKER’S M

ESSAGE >>

MIELKE, from pg. 19Dryer told me that the gossip last weekwas that the price would be at thatlevel by the end of June and, while itmay not happen quite that fast, Dryersaid cheese could hit $2.30 or close to itthis fall for a number of reasons.

Milk production in a lot of the primecheese making regions of the countrywas below a year ago or production percow was down, according to the U.S.Department of Agriculture’s latest

Milk Production report,and that portends lessmilk ahead. Dryer addsthat high butter prices are pulling milkaway from the vat and high nonfat drymilk prices are limiting cheese vat forti-fications so yields will slip.

European cheese seems to be headed toRussia, he said, and New Zealand milkseems to be going to whole milk powderfor China. U.S. cheese is filling some ofthose export voids, going to numerous

locations around theworld, and the U.S. econ-

omy continues to recoverand cheese demand continues to grow.

Ditto on butter. Prices could go evenhigher than $2.30, Dryer said. A coupleof manufacturers told him that $2.30will be the lowest price this fall thoughhe’s not totally convinced of that yet.He admitted, however, that 2011 buttersales remained strong despite the pricebeing at or close to $2.

In the past, food manufacturers whoused butter as an ingredient would oftenswitch to alternatives when butter pricesgot too high, but Dryer points out there’sa different paradigm in place nowbecause it’s much more difficult to switch.

“They have proclaimed on theirmenus and in their recipes that theyare transfat free,” Dryer said, “andtherefore can’t use a lot of the substi-tutes for butter that are on the market.They have to stick with butter.”

Furthermore, the prices of most ofthose alternatives are also quite high,he said.

■

The House appropriations committeethis week released a subcommitteedraft of the fiscal year 2012 agricultureappropriations bill.

Dairy Profit Weekly Editor DaveNatzke said in Friday’s DairyLinebroadcast that the draft is light ondairy specifics but may offer someinsights.

“With Republicans representing themajority on all House committees, theoverriding theme is reduced spending,”Natzke said. The proposal was sched-uled to be marked up in the agriculturesubcommittee this week, he said, and

according to the draft, overall spendingfor agencies and programs coveringagriculture will receive about $126 bil-lion in discretionary and mandatoryfunding in FY 2012, down about $2.7billion from this year, and $7 billionless than President Obama requestedin his budget proposal.

Undoubtedly, dairy will face its shareof cuts, he said. For example, the pro-posal reduces the USDA’s Risk Man-agement Agency budget, which couldnegatively impact the Livestock GrossMargin-Dairy income margin insur-ance program, which ran out of moneyjust half-way through this year.

Government feeding and nutritionprograms make up nearly three-quar-ters of the USDA’s budget, and thoseare also cut, which could impact dairy.Dairy products are included in foodand nutrition programs and cuts couldreduce dairy product sales.

Secondly, support of food and nutri-tion programs has traditionally createda congressional coalition in support offarm policy and “that coalition couldfracture under the pressure of intensebudget fighting,” Natzke said, “as foodand farm interests reach for the samepiece of budget pie.”

■

Finally, some wit for the week: In the’60s, people took acid to make the worldweird. Now the world is weird and peo-ple take Prozac to make it “normal.”

ESSAGE >>

Over a period of roughly 30 years,at the end of the 19th and begin-

ning of the 20th centuries, the Scot-tish-born industrialist AndrewCarnegie provided grants for commu-nities around the world to constructwhat were then called free libraries.

Sixty-five of those Carnegielibraries were built in Minnesota.Many were built in small rural com-munities such as Browns Valley,Chatfield, Dawson, Fairmont,Graceville, Lake City, Madison,Ortonville, Zumbrota, Spring Valleyand Little Falls.

In their application to Carnegie toobtain money, communities had to

show that they had a need for alibrary, that they had publicly ownedland to build one on and that theywere willing to raise 10 percent of theconstruction cost, in taxes, each yearto pay for operating the library.

Carnegie was the epitome of theAmerican self-made man. He came toAmerica as a poor immigrant andeventually became one of his era’swealthiest men. He succeeded throughhard work, basic intelligence and acuriosity that was fed by books. InCarnegie’s time libraries were ofteneither private collections or subscrip-tion libraries. The idea of free tax-sup-ported libraries was just gaining trac-tion. Farmers and working people

generally didn’t have access tolibraries and some even thought theyshouldn’t. But Carnegie had a grandvision of a nation of self-made citizens.The energy, intelligence and motiva-tion would be provided by America’shuge immigrant population. Carnegiewould provide a home for the informa-tion they needed to succeed.

By the time Carnegie was donebuilding libraries he had built thou-sands of them, and farmers and work-ing people across the country had easyaccess to great literature, equipmentrepair manuals and the entire range ofinformation available from library.Many of those libraries still servetheir original purpose.

Little Falls received a $10,000Carnegie grant in 1902 and built theirlibrary in 1904. Like Carnegie librariesin most small towns, the Little Fallslibrary was one of the grandest buildingsin the community. Its exterior Craftsmandesign and interior architecture of finewoodwork and high ceilings were anappropriately inspirational setting forthe wealth of information it held. In 2000an addition was added and the buildingcontinues to serve the town as theirbranch to the Great River RegionalLibrary.

No one has measured the impact ofthat $10,000 grant to Little Falls andthe broader world; it would surely beimmeasurable.
