“An exciting opportunity lies ahead of you.”I’m not a big fan of fortune cookies. Mostly

because, more often than not, they don’tactually contain ... you know ... fortunes.Instead, once you crack the cookie open,that little slip of paper will make somepointless observation like “Look before youleap” or “Plant more corn acres” or “Youreally shouldn’t have eaten all seven ofthose cream cheese wontons just now.”

Those are advice cookies. If I wantadvice, I’ll sit out in the car and listen toDave Ramsey’s radio show. But I don’t.Instead, what I want is to quietly digestmy pork fried rice and be told by acookie what my future holds.

Well, I finally got what I wanted a while back whenI was told my future was about to get “exciting.” Iknew exactly what my wise little pastry was hintingat: Getting to help my elder daughter buy her first car.

Before I go any further I shall note that, in thisparticular instance, “help” refers strictly to parentaladvice — no Chinese food purchase necessary —rather than financial aid. My spouse and I definitelywanted her to achieve the greater independence anautomobile brings, but insisted she be patient andearn it on her own. Although patience is not herforte, she worked very hard for a long time to save

up the big bucks. So kudos to her, despitewhat I’m about to say about her.

She was horrible to car shop with.Every vehicle she looked at had a deal-

breaking characteristic — too expensive,too beat up, too old, too far away, too manymiles, too low mileage, already sold — andsomehow (for the life of me I couldn’tfathom why) it was all my fault.

It took far too long, but A) I finallyremembered Rule No. 1 of Parenting:“Your child’s problem will soon become

your problem” — which should probablybe in a fortune cookie — and B) shefinally came around to accepting the

concept of compromise.That was the magical moment when she quit talk-

ing about needing a “sexy” car, and started seriouslylooking at listings for good but less-than-excitingvehicles such as station wagons and even (gasp!)minivans. And whad’ya know ... she found one.

Parked in our driveway right now is a fairlydecent, 12-year-old General Motors minivan. My kidhas her own wheels, and I didn’t have to pay for it.

How exciting is that?!Tom Royer is assistant editor of The Land. He may

To the Editor:Most people in Dodge County, Minn., will be sur-

prised to know that one of the first bills taken up atthe State Capitol this year would weaken townshiplocal control. What is worse is that my legislator,Rep. Duane Quam, is a co-author of the bill.

House File 389 would give outside corporate intereststhe upper hand when they want to push unexpectedand harmful developments into our communities. Itweakens the right of townships, counties and cities tosay “no” to projects that could harm the community.

As a lifelong Dodge County resident, I know thatmy community is better off with strong local control.When a New Jersey investor wanted to build anindustrial mega-dairy in Ripley Township, my neigh-bors and I were concerned.

We knew it would be bad for the community.Because we had strong local control our township hada say. We put an interim ordinance in place and thenenacted a common sense limit on how large a feedlot

can be in our township. But Rep. Quam’s bill wouldhave prevented our townships from having a say.

His bill says if a project submits a permit applica-tion then it is exempt from the interim ordinance.The problem is neighbors and township officialsoften don’t even learn about a project until the per-mit is submitted. So if Rep. Quam’s bill passes by thetime the community learns about a project it will betoo late to do anything.

That is wrong! Minnesotans value strong local democracy that

favors community rights over corporate rights. Wedidn’t send legislators up to the Capitol to weakenlocal control and push legislation for corporate spe-cial interests. The issue is simple. Minnesotans valuestrong township rights and Rep. Quam should too.He should drop his support of House File 389.Lois Nash Land Of A Thousand Winds Dodge Center, Minn.

The Minnesota Farm Bureau Feder-ation submitted comments on behalfof Farm Bureau members from Min-nesota to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencyon the proposed Concentrated Animal FeedingOperation reporting rule.

In the comments, MFBF President Kevin Paapsaid that the proposed rule’s two primary optionsare significantly flawed because they exceed theEPA’s authority under the Clean Water Act whilecreating intense security, safety and privacy con-cerns for farmers. There is ample public informa-tion already available that the EPA can gather forCWA purposes. “We urge the EPA to pursue thatapproach instead.”

Paap also said that the MFBF objects to the pro-posed rule’s two primary options for the followingfour reasons.

First, many of today’s livestock and poultry farmsare designed and ran so as not to have any dis-charges. As no-discharge facilities, they merit sucha presumption under Section 308 and should not berequired to report unless information applicablespecifically to them indicates otherwise.

Second, these two options would effectively createa publicly available “national registry” of theapproximately 20,000 farms the EPA says would besubject to this rule. This greatly raises the risk thatthese farms and many farm families will experiencemalicious acts of violence and intimidation byextremists. Two such unlawful and violent incidents

took place in California recently.Third, such a national registry also cre-

ates unacceptable national biosecurityrisks inconsistent with federal policy under the 2004presidential directive “Defense of United StatesAgriculture and Food” and the 2007 National Infra-structure Protection Plan that treats livestock andpoultry facilities as critical infrastructure to be pro-tected from terrorist acts.

Lastly, “when people come onto our members’farms unauthorized (even without malicious intent)and fail to follow their animal health protocols, therisk of disease and death for their animals increasesexponentially. Contact with people not followingthese practices is one of the top methods for thetransmission of animal disease from farm to farm.”

Paap also said that the EPA’s third approach would

use information already publicly available. TheMFBF does not oppose this approach, but wouldoppose the EPA compiling that information intosome kind of central registry because it to raisessecurity and privacy concerns.

Commentary: Proposed CAFO rules ‘significantly flawed’

To the Editor:Five-hundred-foot wind towers, silica sand quarries on

our river valleys,public hearings,newspaper stories, argu-ments about free enterprises and home owner’s rights.

Some folks worry about what the fuss is. Soon itwill be over.

Rep. Dan Quam and others are pushing bills HF389 and SF 270 through the House and Senate thatwill prevent local yokels from getting involved in bigbusiness.

Counties and townships won’t be able to hold

moratoriums on permit applications that are alreadymade. In other words, strangers with big plans canget in with only state approval.

Quam gets his ideas from a Texas education andrefuses to go to township or county meetings to arguehis position or meet his victims. This in a time whenall of us are sick and tired of “Crony Capitalism,” hewants to give the bad actors more tools.

Only a governor’s veto again will stop these billsfrom becoming laws. This is a taking of your localgovernment and is an insult to our intelligence andour freedoms.Mike NobleKenyon, Minn.

As corn and soybeans cash prices flutteraround their post-harvest highs, a farmertelephones with a question: How do Feb-ruary’s stronger prices compare to 2010season average prices for corn, soybeans,wheat and cotton?

Well, let’s see. According to U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture data, the nationalaverage cash price for 2010 corn was$6.38 per bushel, soybeans averaged$12.97, Kansas City wheat clocked in at$7.55 and cotton at a plump $1.40 perhundredweight.

Not surprisingly, 2010 average futuresprices were stronger, according to num-bers compiled by Bloomberg News.Chicago corn, for example, averaged $6.79/bu. in2010, “the highest ever and twice the level of the pre-vious decade.” Whoa.

Likewise, the news service continues, soybeansaveraged “a record $13.21, 72 percent above the 10previous years, while wheat’s average of $7.24 wasthe second-highest ever and 57 percent more thanthe past decade.”

We like those numbers for no other reason than if2010 prices are, as some suggest, the “new normal,”there’s everything new and nothing normal aboutany of ’em.

Moreover, alone or as a group, they make an inter-esting yardstick to measure today’s prices which, forcorn and soybeans — $6.20 or so and $12.50 in cen-tral Illinois — aren’t too shabby by comparison.

These tall numbers draw us to another set of eventaller numbers: anticipated 2012 planted acreage.Since the definitive acre counter, the USDA, will notmake public its Prospective Plantings report untilMarch 30, numbers in today’s market are best

guesses from non-government sources.Most, however, see corn acres soaring,bean acres stable and wheat regainingacres lost to conservation.

For example, one early February pollestimated 2012 corn acres at 94.3 million,the most since 1944, beans at 75.3 millionand wheat at 57.2 mil-lion. The total for thethree, according to thisfirm, is a staggering226.8 million, the mostsince 1984.

Total production— given goodweather — would be

equally staggering: nearly 14 bil-lion bushels for corn, 3.3 billionbushels for beans and 2 billion-plus for wheat.

The increased 2012 acres arecoming from two chief sources,those not planted, washed out orfried by last year’s rains, floodsand droughts and long-fallow,now-getting-planted Conserva-tion Reserve Program acres.

While you can’t change the weather,Congress changed the CRP in the about-to-expire2008 farm bill. Those changes and today’s sky-highgrain prices have drawn nearly 5 million acres fromthe program in the last three years.

An even bigger amount comes this fall when con-tracts on a whopping 6.5 million CRP acres expire.How many will not renew? Hard to say but as DTNreported in January, nearly 75 percent of those expir-ing acres, or 4.85 million, are in “states (that) suf-

fered major federal disaster declarations in 2011.”Starting to figure out why most commodity groups

are pushing to expand today’s already generous fed-eral crop insurance programs to cover nearly everyproduction and market risk — and maybe thefarm’s lilac bush — in the 2012 farm bill?

On the crop insurance front, here’s two more num-bers that reveal its large pres-ence in today’s federal farm pol-icy. First, despite 2011 crop andlivestock sales that totaled $363billion, a record, and net farmincome of $99.1 billion, anotherrecord, crop insurers paid atleast $9.1 billion in claims, itselfa record.

Second, according to Februaryestimates released by the Con-gressional Budget Office, thecumulative cost of federal cropinsurance is forecast to be $89billion over the next 10 years.That’s one-third more than the$65 billion CBO reckons allUSDA conservation programswill cost over the same period.

The White House has its ownnumber for federal crop insur-

ance; it suggests the heavily subsidized program begiven a $7.6 billion haircut over the coming decade.

We’d give you hard numbers on the long odds ofthat happening but it’s just easier to say that pigswill fly first.

OPINION

Starting to figure outwhy most commoditygroups are pushing toexpand today’salready generous fed-eral crop insuranceprograms to covernearly every produc-tion and market risk —and maybe the farm’slilac bush — in the2012 farm bill?

March 8 is National Agriculture Day.Much has changed since University ofMinnesota grad Don Neth started thisday to honor agriculture more than 40years ago. Back then, talk about agri-culture focused on “the farm problem”and what to do with surpluses.Today the surpluses are gone,and some are suggesting thismight be the Golden Age ofAgriculture.

We are living in a time ofrecord land prices and goodprofits from agriculture. Todayagriculture employs 14 percentof the U.S. workforce andagricultural graduateshave multiple job offers.There is an increased recog-nition of the importance of farmers andfood. Even Bill Gates, the second-rich-est person in the world, is now devot-ing his wealth toward improving agri-cultural productivity.

Polls show strong support for agricul-ture. Ninety-five percent of Americanssay they believe it is important to growfood domestically. More than 80 per-cent of Minnesotans say they have apositive view of agriculture in thestate.

The temptation on National Agricul-ture Day is to sit back, decide thingsare going well and enjoy listening tothe good things being said. The chal-lenge is to appreciate the complimentswhile continuing the hard work thatbrought agriculture to where it istoday.

One of those challenges is educatingconsumers. Many Minnesotans andmost Americans are three, four or fivegenerations away from a family con-nection to a farm or a farmer. Univer-sity of Minnesota Extension educatorsworking in farm-to-school programsfrequently discover students who knowabout french fries, but have no idea

what a potato looks like. Telling thestory of how food is produced and whatfarmers do has never been more impor-tant than it is today.

Not only do we need to teach con-sumers about farming, butthose of us who work in agricul-ture need to continuallyupgrade our knowledge. Foodproduction is a technology busi-ness today. Guidance and GPStools help put the crop in thefield and micro-controllersmove food safely from the fieldto the plate. One reason new

agricultural graduates arein such high demand isthey have science smarts

and technology skills. Theywill learn that skill development doesnot stop at graduation.

Agricultural careers require contin-ual updating of skills and knowledge.That is one reason why we see suchhigh participation in Extension pro-grams that bring the latest knowledgeto farmers and agricultural profession-als. It is also the reason that the newagricultural research discoveries thatsolve problems for farmers are soimportant today.

National Agriculture Day on March 8is a day to celebrate the success ofAmerican agriculture and reflect onwhat will be needed in the future. TheUniversity of Minnesota is committedto providing the research-based infor-mation farmers need to succeed — onNational Agriculture Day as well asthe other 364 days of the year.

If you are looking for an easy, delicious lunch orsupper try our “It’s a Meal Strata”. This meal is easyon the pocketbook and the waistline. I like it becauseit is packed with vegetables, which lowers the calo-ries, and it does not have much bread. I like to servehot whole-wheat bread with it.

You can use any vegetable that you want for thestrata. I usually use onions, mushrooms, green or redpeppers and zucchini. You can also add leftover corn,peas and broccoli. I have made it with and withoutthe ham and once substituted cooked turkey.

When I can, I try to sauté the vegetables and cutup the ham and bread ahead of time. Then once I amready to prepare the meal I stir everything togetherand bake. While the strata is in the oven I can get afruit tray cut, the table set and the milk poured.

It’s a Meal StrataServes: 4Serving size: 4-inch x 4-inch pieceCost per serving: $0.88

1 teaspoon vegetable or canola oil3 cups sliced or chopped vegetables1 clove garlic, minced or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder1 3-ounce package (or 1/2 of 8-ounce package) light

cream cheese (also called Neufchatel), softened3 eggs1 cup cubed day-old bread (about 1 slice)1/3 cup cubed cooked ham1/8 teaspoon pepper1/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 F. Cut the vegetables so theyare about the same size. In a large skillet, heat oilover medium-high heat. Add the vegetables and gar-lic and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetablesare tender. Turn off heat and pat the vegetables withpaper towels to remove the moisture. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese untilsmooth. Add eggs and beat well. Stir in vegetables,bread, cubed ham and pepper.

Pour into a greased 8-inch x 8-inch baking dish or

small casserole dish. Bake, uncovered, for 10 to 15minutes or until the egg mixture doesn’t jiggle.Remove from heat, sprinkle on the cheese and letstand for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

By SARAH JOHNSONThe Land Correspondent

“Country people” live all over theworld, from the Great Plains of NorthAmerica to the steppes of Russia,from South American cattle ranchesto African savannahs. They all sharethe tradition of growing and eatingplants and animals that are adaptedto local conditions. Each ethnic cui-sine takes the greatest advantage ofwhatever grain, bird, root, fish, berryor herbivore is at hand.

Of course, where once we all ate“locally” because we had to, our mod-ern food transportation systems makeit infinitely easier to eat a muchbroader spectrum of foodstuffs. Thatdoesn’t matter to a lot of “countryfolks,” who merrily continue to eatwhat their ancestors have been eatingfor generations, even millennia.

In France, food that has simpleingredients, perfectly cooked and inseason, using fresh herbs and ancient

recipes, is the ideal. Many of the fancy-schmancy classic French dishes arejust hopped-up versions of down-homecountry cooking. French cafes andbistros serve up this savory, heartyfare to the general applause of a grate-ful nation. “The French Country Table:Simple Recipes for Bistro Classics” byLaura Washburn (Ryland Peters &Small, 2010) brings these meals to ourAmerican country kitchens.

■

French onion soup is the dish thatmade me love onions. The rich brothand silken onions, the crusty croutonand gooey cheese … one bowl is a satis-fying meal. It’s easy to make, too. Thereare many variations, but this one isstraight from the country of origin.French Onion Soup

3 tablespoons unsalted butter1 tablespoon olive oil3 large onions (about 3 pounds),

thinly sliced2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour1 quart beef, chicken or vegetable

stock2 1/4 cups dry white wine1 fresh bay leaf2 sprigs of thyme1 baguette, sliced1 1/2 cups freshly grated Gruyere

cheeseCoarse sea salt and freshly ground

black pepperPut the butter and oil in a large

saucepan and melt over medium heat.Add the onions and cook over low heatfor 15 to 20 minutes, until soft. Add thegarlic and flour and cook, stirring forabout 1 minute. Add the stock, wine,bay leaf and thyme. Season with saltand pepper and bring to a boil. Boil for1 minute, then lower the heat and sim-mer gently for 20 minutes. Taste and

adjust the seasoning. At this point, thesoup will be cooked, but standing timewill improve the flavor — at least 30minutes.

Before serving, preheat the broiler.Put the baguette slices on a bakingsheet and brown under the broileruntil lightly toasted. Set aside. Do notturn the broiler off.

To serve, ladle the soup into oven-proof bowls and top with a few toastedbaguette rounds. Sprinkle gratedcheese over the top and cook under thestill-hot broiler until browned andbubbling. Serve immediately. Serves 4-6.

COOKBOOK, from pg. 8Awine and herbs, then roast until it crackles. So sim-ple, yet so over-the-top delicious. Huge benefit: Thismakes lots of leftovers.Marinated Pork Roast

1 boneless pork loin roast, about 3 pounds1 large onion, sliced2 carrots, sliced1 celery rib, with leavesMarinade:750-milliliter bottle dry white wine3 tablespoons white wine vinegar2 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced1 fresh bay leaf2-3 fresh sage leavesA sprig of thyme2 tablespoons coarse sea salt1 tablespoon sugar1 teaspoon black peppercornsTwo days before serving, mix all the ingredients for

the marinade together in a large, non-reactive bowl.Add the pork and vegetables, cover, and refrigeratefor two days, turning the pork regularly.

When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 400 F.Remove the pork from the marinade and put it in alarge roasting pan. Add the vegetables and flavoringsfrom the marinade. Cook in the preheated oven for 11/2 hours, basting occasionally with the marinating liq-uid. Serve in slices with the side dish of your choice.

Fresh green beans are a snap to prepare and diffi-cult to screw up. For these reasons, my family eats alot of them. With some beautiful beans and herbsfrom our local supermarket — yes, in the middle ofwinter. — my family devoured these beauties: Fourout of four “yums.” French Beans with Garlic can beserved hot or at room temperature. Try replacing the

green beans with long, thin slices of steamed zucchinifor a change of pace.French Beans with Garlic

1 1/2 pounds fine green beans, trimmed2 tablespoons olive oil1 tablespoon unsalted butter2 garlic cloves, crushedA handful of flat-leaf parsley, chopped1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juiceSea salt and freshly ground black pepperBring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the

beans and cook for 3-4 minutes from the time thewater returns to a boil. Drain and refresh under coldrunning water. Set aside.

Heat the oil and butter in a sauté pan. Add the gar-lic, beans and salt, and cook on high for 1 minute,stirring. Remove from the heat and stir in the pars-ley and lemon juice. Sprinkle with pepper and serve.Serves 4.

For a dessert lighter than chocolate or carrot cake (butmore substantial than angel food), bake an orange-infused Yogurt Cake. The yogurt adds decadent mois-ture, and the fresh-squeezed orange juice smells heav-enly and adds a citric sweetness. In a few months wecould garnish this with fresh Minnesota berries.Yogurt Cake

1/2 cup plain yogurt1 cup sugar1 1/2 cups flour

2 eggs1 tablespoon safflower oil1 teaspoon baking sodaA pinch of saltFreshly squeezed juice of 1 orange1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar, to decoratePreheat the oven to 350 F. Empty the yogurt into

a large bowl; add the sugar, flour, eggs, oil, bakingsoda, salt and half the orange juice. Stir well.

Pour into a prepared cake pan (deep-sided, 9inches in diameter, greased) and bake in the pre-heated oven for 15-20 minutes, until a knifeinserted in the middle comes out clean. Removefrom the oven and pierce a few holes in the top witha fork. Pour over the remaining orange juice. Letcool slightly, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool.

To decorate, put the confectioners’ sugar into astrainer and hold it over the cake. Tap the edge ofthe strainer to release the sugar, moving around thesurface to coat. A light dusting is sufficient. Serve atroom temperature. Serves 8.

You spent a lot of timein your old back yard.

For most of the kidsgrowing up in your neigh-borhood, it was whereyou gathered to do what-ever everybody agreed todo that afternoon. Youformed secret clubs,shared comic books andfought among yourselves,pretended to be spies, orplayed Cowboys and Indi-ans. Good times, those.

But in reality, according to Ojibweauthor David Treuer, “most people willgo a lifetime without knowing anIndian or spending any time on anIndian reservation.” In his new book“Rez Life,” he writes about his child-hood, his people and his reservation.

No doubt about it, white Americahas had an interesting relationshipwith its native brethren over the last

350 years. Any school childwith a history book can recitea litany of wars, defeats,cheats and tales of Indiansbeing settled on reservations.

The Bureau of IndianAffairs doesn’t keep track of how manyIndian reservations there are in theUnited States, but Treuer says thereare around 300 of them in more than

30 states. Not all of the 564 federally-recognized tribes have reservations; ofthose that do, reservations vary in size.

Some appear like checker-boards, due to sev-eral convolutedlaws, while othersare wide-openprairies.

Until recently, theone thing most ofthem had in com-mon was poverty.

Treuer’s motherremembers a rela-tively recent timewhen many homes onher northern Min-nesota reservationconsisted of tar-paperand studs and fewhad working toilets.

The average household income onTreuer’s reservation today is some$31,000 less than it is for the rest ofAmerica.

“On some reservations in the Dako-tas,” Treuer writes, “the median incomehovers just above $10,000… Life ishard for many on the rez.”

And it’s only slowly getting better.Indians are now U.S. citizens (which

didn’t happen until 1924). Drugs, alco-hol and crime are major problems onthe rez, but many reservations havepolice forces, as well as tribal courts.Casino money brings paved roads andit pays for legal teams to recover treaty

rights (of which, Treuer says, “mostIndians didn’t know about ... for thefirst half of the 20th century”). AndIndian children are no longer routinelyremoved from their homes just becausethey’re Indians.

There are, I think, two different audi-ences for this book: Indians, for whom“Rez Life” will be validation of thetruth; and white readers, for whom thisbook will be an eye-opener.

Treuer plays with the emotions of thelatter audience. He shocks us, hemakes us laugh, then he lulls us withpoetry before he wallops us with his-tory. I loved that range in writing. Ialso loved this book for its harshbeauty, its honesty and for Treuer’sincredible talent at telling stories thatmean something.

For rez residents, there’s not muchnew here, but I think this is an invalu-able book for anyone who’s curious orwho lives near a reservation. For you,“Rez Life” explains a lot about the peopleand culture right in your own back yard.

Responding to the needs of a growing populationof farmers and ranchers living with a disability, theU.S. Department of Agriculture awarded 23 grantsto organizations to help thousands of people withdisabilities continue their chosen agricultural pro-fessions. The USDA’s National Institute of Food andAgriculture awarded the grants, totaling $4.1 mil-lion, through the AgrAbility program.

The University of Minnesota in Minneapolisreceived $180,000.

“Thanks to the hard work and dedication of allAmericans devoted to agriculture, U.S. agriculture isa bright spot in our economy and provides a liveli-hood for one in 12 Americans,” said CatherineWoteki, USDA chief scientist and under secretaryfor Research, Education and Economics. “Nearly 2million individuals working in agriculture in theUnited States live with a disability that affects theirwork and daily life. The AgrAbility program providesthese producers with the training and resourcesthey need to remain profitable, to maintain theirquality of life, and to continue to contribute to ournation’s supply of food, feed, fiber and fuel.”

NIFA awarded the funds to land-grant universitiesthat have joined with nonprofit disability organiza-

tions to address the specialized needs of Americanfarmers and ranchers with disabilities. Projectsinclude educating professionals on how to assistthose with disabilities and directly training disabledagricultural workers. Past AgrAbility projects haveimproved customers’ financial stability, access to lifeactivities and the ability of states and regions todeliver timely services to those with disabilities.

Since initial funding in 1991, NIFA has awardedgrants to more than 35 states resulting in on-farmassistance to more than 15,000 farmers while edu-cating thousands of professionals on how to accom-modate those with disabilities in agriculture. Thetypical award provides up to $180,000 per year forup to four years to qualifying universities.

In addition to the state project grants, onenational grant provides additional support for aNational AgrAbility Project, which is directedjointly by Purdue University and Goodwill Indus-tries. These national partners joined to providetechnical assistance and professional training forthe state projects, produce resource materials anddistribute information related to the project.

If you are having trouble repaying student loans, it isimportant to act quickly — before you are in default.

The government can garnish your wages or offsetyour income tax refunds if you fail to make paymentson federal loans for nine to 12 months. Private loansare turned over to a collection agency which cancause long-term damage to your credit.

Your lender can explain possible solutions before youdefault.A deferment of payments may be available if youare still in school, are unemployed or are going through ahardship. You may qualify for a forbearance which willallow for a temporary postponement or reduction of pay-ments for a period of time. Income-based caps can cappayments on federal loans based on income.

If you are having a problem with your federal stu-dent loan, contact the FSA Ombudsman at the U.S.Department of Education. The FSA Ombudsman isdedicated to helping students and parents resolve dis-putes and other problems with federal education loans.

The FSA Ombudsman will research your problem inan impartial and objective manner and will try todevelop a fair solution. Even though the FSAOmbudsman does not have the authority to impose asolution, many students have found the FSA Ombuds-man to be helpful in resolving disputes with lenders.

You can contact the FSA Ombudsman by phone at(877) 557-2575, by fax at (202) 275-0549, by mail atU.S. Department of Education, FSA Ombudsman, 830First Street, NE, Fourth Floor, Washington, DC 20202-5144, or by e-mail at [email protected].

The oxymoron of rush hour traffic is that no one isgoing anywhere fast. It was in standstill rush hourtraffic in Louisville that husband, Mike, sought outa shortcut that took us under the interstate bridgeinto a poverty-stricken part of the city.

The houses were lined up like dominoes with anarm length or less between them. Broken windowswere covered with cardboard. The streets were linedwith hopelessness. If the residents of this part oftown looked up from their sagging porches to theinterstate bridge above, they’d see cars worth more

than their homes and all they contained.“Probably not a place you want to walkalone at night,” Mike said.

“Pretty sure I’d be nervous to walk hereby myself in daylight,” I said. “This makesmy heart hurt.”

“Why?” Mike asked. “This place is a pit.”“Not if you think about how many chil-

dren call this home,” I said.Children. That’s Mike’s soft spot and the

conversation about poverty and how to bepart of the solution began.

In the Bible, the book of Proverbs hasmuch to say to the poor and about the poor. To thosewho choose laziness instead of labor, God warns, Alittle sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of thehands to rest — and poverty will come on you like abandit and scarcity like an armed man (Proverbs6:10-11). The Apostle Paul lived by the rule that hetaught: The one who is unwilling to work shall noteat (2 Thessalonians 3:10).

Farmers get that. The Midwest work ethic is aliveand well within farm families. There’s a great deal ofpride and satisfaction in the sweat and toil that goesinto a job well done. In rural communities there’srarely a vacant soapbox when the conversation linkspoverty to laziness.

If only it were that simple. The system of poverty ismultidimensional and laziness is a single facet of thecomplex puzzle. The book of Proverbs also acknowl-edges that being poor can stem from injustice — Anunplowed field produces food for the poor, but injus-tice sweeps it away (13:23) — from oppression —Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their

Maker, but whoever is kind to the needyhonors God (14:31) — or from exploitation— Do not exploit the poor because they arepoor and do not crush the needy in court(22:22).

There’s a lot of finger pointing going onin the United States about the root ofpoverty. Some blame welfare dependencyand individual responsibility, others tar-get inadequate education and employ-ment opportunities, and still others pointto our financial and economic crisis.

Bryant L. Meyers who is quoted in themust-read book, “When Helping Hurts:

Alleviating Poverty Without Hurting the Poor ... andYourself,” points to severed relationships. He says,“Poverty is the result of relationships that do notwork, that are not just, that are not for life, that arenot harmonious or enjoyable. Poverty is the absenceof shalom in all its meanings.”

The root of the problem is not lack of education,lack of food, or lack of health care. The origin ofpoverty is broken relationships. At the heart ofpoverty is broken hearts.

As a child I learned the Chinese proverb, “Give aman a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a manto fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” I value thatwisdom yet today, but would add the needed elementof friendship to it. It’s in restoring relationships thatlives can be changed.

Brian Fikkert and Steve Corbett give this defini-tion to poverty alleviation: Poverty alleviation is theministry of reconciliation: moving people closer to

PORCH, from pg. 12Aglorifying God by living in right relationship withGod, with self, with others, and with the rest of cre-ation.

Service projects, mission trips, humanitarian aidefforts and donating to organizations like the Salva-tion Army, are some of the countless, wonderful wayswe can help the poor. But to alleviate poverty it’sgoing to take more than money or short-term trips tothird-world countries. True, sustainable poverty alle-viation happens one friendship at a time.

You don’t need a passport to befriend the poor.They’re here, in your rural area and mine. They’re inthe places where property values dropped, wherecrime increased and where children are growing upin circumstances they didn’t choose.

Will these friendships take us out of our comfortzones? In more ways than we can imagine. Will it beeasy? Not a chance. Will we be misunderstood andmisunderstand? Most likely. It’s been said that noth-ing really worthwhile ever comes easy. For the sakeof children we must eliminate our excuses, forgethrough obstacles and make every effort to do theworthwhile work of building relationships.

Here are our marching orders: Speak up for thosewho cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of allwho are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defendthe rights of the poor and needy (Proverbs 31:8-9).That’s the soapbox that will change this country, onefriendship at a time.

Spring weather will soon be headingour way.

It is best to prune apple trees, includ-ing flowering crabapples, mountainash, hawthorns and shrub cotoneastersin late winter from February to earlyApril.

Spring or summer pruning increaseschances for infection and spread of thebacterial disease fireblight. Autumn orearly winter pruning is more likely toresult in drying and die-back at prun-ing sites. Oaks, ash and elm trees canalso be pruned this time of year.

Pruning approaches include crownthinning, crown raising and crownreduction. Crown thinning is primarilyused in hardwoods to increase theamount of room for light and air topenetrate the tree. You still will wantto maintain the trees natural shapeand form.

Another form of crown thinning is tomake sure there is only one dominantleader instead of two or more co-domi-nate leaders on the tree. Crown raisingis cutting off some of the bottombranches to permit travel underneaththe tree. This could be for lawn mow-ers, people and vehicles. Be sure not toraise the crown of the tree too high toavoid an excessively high crown.

Crown reduction is another approachto pruning. This method should be usedonly in a last resort when the tree hasoutgrown its permitted space. Thisapproach should not be used on trees

with a pyramidal growth form.Topping and tipping pruning prac-

tices do more harm to trees than theyhelp. Topping is pruning large uprightbranches between the nodes and issometimes done to reduce the height ofthe tree. Tipping is pruning lateralbranches between nodes to reduce thecrown width. These practices result insprouts and dead branches that willreduce the life of the tree. Use thecrown reduction method as a lastresort and avoid topping and tipping.

What about treating the wounds?Most of the time the tree sap, gums andresins naturally work to decreasepathogens invading the trees. There-fore, there are few circumstances whenwound dressings are needed for prun-ing cuts. Often, they create more prob-lems than they avoid.

The University of Minnesota Exten-sion website contains a vast amount ofinformation. The website has furtherinformation pertaining to pruningother types of trees. Log on towww.extension.umn.edu. On the top ofthe webpage, click on the garden linkand search for pruning trees andshrubs. Get the information to do thejob right instead of making mistakesthat can’t be fixed.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture released thenew version of its Plant Hardiness Zone Map,updating a useful tool for gardeners andresearchers for the first time since 1990 withgreater accuracy and detail.

The new map — jointly developed by the USDA’sAgricultural Research Service and Oregon StateUniversity’s PRISM Climate Group — is availableonline at www.planthardiness.ars.usda.gov. ARS isthe chief intramural scientific research agency ofUSDA.

For the first time, the new map offers a Geo-graphic Information System-based interactive for-mat and is specifically designed to be internet-friendly. The map website also incorporates a “findyour zone by ZIP code” function. Static images ofnational, regional and state maps have also beenincluded to ensure the map is readily accessible tothose who lack broadband internet access.

“This is the most sophisticated Plant HardinessZone Map yet for the United States,” said CatherineWoteki, USDA under secretary for Research, Edu-cation and Economics. “The increases in accuracyand detail that this map represents will be

extremely useful for gardeners and researchers.”Plant hardiness zone designations represent the

average annual extreme minimum temperatures ata given location during a particular time period.They do not reflect the coldest it has ever been orever will be at a specific location, but simply theaverage lowest winter temperature for the locationover a specified time. Low temperature during thewinter is a crucial factor in the survival of plants atspecific locations.

The new version of the map includes 13 zones, withthe addition for the first time of zones 12 (50 to 60 F)and 13 (60 to 70 F). Each zone is a 10-degree Fahren-heit band, further divided into A and B five-degreeFahrenheit zones.

To help develop the new map, the USDA and OSUrequested that horticultural and climatic expertsreview the zones in their geographic area, and trialversions of the new map were revised, based on theirexpert input.

Compared to the 1990 version, zone boundaries inthis edition of the map have shifted in many areas.The new map is generally one five-degree Fahren-heit half-zone warmer than the previous mapthroughout much of the United States. This ismostly a result of using temperature data from alonger and more recent time period; the new mapuses data measured at weather stations during the30-year period 1976-2005. In contrast, the 1990 mapwas based on temperature data from only a 13-yearperiod of 1974-86.

Some of the changes in the zones, however, are aresult of new, more sophisticated methods for map-ping zones between weather stations. These includealgorithms that considered for the first time suchfactors as changes in elevation, nearness to largebodies of water, and position on the terrain, such as

valley bottoms and ridge tops.Also, the new map used temperature data from

many more stations than did the 1990 map. Theseadvances greatly improved the accuracy and detailof the map, especially in mountainous regions of thewestern United States. In some cases, advancesresulted in changes to cooler, rather than warmer,zones.

While about 80 million American gardeners, aswell as those who grow and breed plants, are thelargest users of the USDA Plant Hardiness ZoneMap, many others need this hardiness zone informa-tion.

For example, the USDA Risk Management Agencyuses the USDA plant hardiness zone designations toset some crop insurance standards. Scientists usethe plant hardiness zones as a data layer in manyresearch models such as modeling the spread ofexotic weeds and insects.

Although a poster-sized version of this map willnot be available for purchase from the USDA, as inthe past, anyone may download the map free ofcharge from the internet onto their personal com-puter and print copies of the map as needed.

As the USDA’s chief scientific research agency,ARS is leading America toward a better futurethrough agricultural research and information. ARSconducts research to develop and transfer solutionsto help answer agricultural questions that impactAmericans every day. ARS work helps to:

• ensure high-quality, safe food and other agricul-tural products;

• assess the nutritional needs of Americans;• sustain a competitive agricultural economy;• enhance the natural resource base and the envi-

ronment; and• provide economic opportunities for rural citizens,

communities and society as a whole. ❖

The flower and vegetable plantsthat I start indoors get tall andspindly. Why?

Tall, spindly growth is a commonproblem when growing transplantsindoors. Poor (insufficient) light, exces-sive watering, high temperatures,excessive fertilization and crowdedconditions are factors that contributeto spindly growth.

Proper growing conditions shouldproduce short, stocky transplants.Immediately after germination, movethe seedlings to an area with a temper-ature of 60 to 70 F and place themunder fluorescent lights (a sunny win-dow usually doesn’t provide sufficientlight). A standard fluorescent shop fix-ture containing two 40-watt tubes (onecool white and one warm white) worksfine.

Position the fluorescent lights nomore than four to six inches above theseedlings. Leave the lights on for 12 to14 hours a day. Thoroughly water theseedlings when the soil surfacebecomes dry to the touch.

Fertilize every two weeks with adilute fertilizer solution. Seedlingsgrowing in flats should be trans-planted into individual pots or cell

packs when the first “true” leavesappear.

Some of the seedlings that I startindoors collapse and die shortlyafter germination. Why?

Damping-off is probably responsiblefor the collapse and death of yourseedlings. Damping-off is caused byseveral different fungi. Environmentalconditions associated with damping-offare poorly drained potting soil, over-crowding and excessive watering.

Damping-off can be prevented byusing clean containers, a sterile, well-drained potting mix and by followinggood cultural practices. Wash previ-ously used containers in soapy water,then disinfect by dipping them in asolution containing one part chlorinebleach and nine parts water.

Sow seeds thinly to avoid overcrowd-ing. Flower and vegetable seeds needan evenly moist potting mix for goodgermination. After germination, allowthe potting soil to dry somewhatbetween waterings.

I’ve started flower and vegetableseedlings in peat pots. A whitishmold has recently appeared on thesurface of the peat pots. Will themold harm the seedlings?

The whitish or brown molds thatgrow on the surface of peat pots andother organic materials are unsightly,but will not harm healthy seedlings.However, the presence of molds mayindicate excessive moisture levels.

Overwatering may lead to damping-off and other serious problems. Toavoid problems associated with over-watering, allow the potting soil to drysomewhat between waterings. Properwatering also will minimize thegrowth of molds on the surface of thepeat pots.

The seedlings that I have startedindoors are yellow-green in color.What should I do?

The yellow-green color is likely due

to a nutrient deficiency. Nitrogen andphosphorus deficiencies sometimesoccur when flower and vegetableseedlings are started indoors. Symp-toms of a nitrogen deficiency includeyellow-green foliage and stuntedplant growth. Phosphorus-deficientplants have purplish leaves.

Applying diluted fertilizer solutiononce every two weeks should helpsupply adequate nutrients to theseedlings.

Paying bills and balancing the fam-ily checkbook with a bank’s onlinesoftware program saves time, but fewpeople plan for handling the accountsif there is an unexpected illness oreven a death in the family.

“Typically, one person in the house-hold takes responsibility for paying

the bills online or managing the onlinebanking account,” said BrendaSchmitt, Iowa State University Exten-sion Family Finance field specialist.“However, if something happens tothat person, the whole family’sfinances can be in jeopardy.”

Many online banking accounts are

tied to a person’s e-mail address andspecific username and password thatthe user created. Usually there aresecurity questions the bank uses toverify that the correct person is access-ing the bank account.

For example, consider a wife whopays all of the bills online and trans-fers money between savings andchecking to cover the expenses. Herhusband has no idea how to find thebank’s website, let alone what theusername and password are.

If something happens to the wife, thehusband will face an uphill battleaccessing the information, especially ifhe doesn’t know the username andpassword to log onto the account andhe cannot answer the security ques-tions.

Even when the surviving spouse hasa legal right to access the account,proper documentation likely will berequired, such as death certificate.

Another common online activity thatmany people do not think about isphoto storage. Many upload familyphotos to websites, such as Walmart,Walgreens, Kodak and Shutterfly.Users may not realize that picturescan be lost to their family forever iftheir next-of-kin cannot access theaccount through the username andpassword option or the e-mail resetoption.

It is important that online passwords

be treated in the same manner as fam-ily heirlooms. Consider listing theusername-password combinations in alegal document or placing them on filewith the family financial planner. Or,consider giving a trusted family mem-ber a copy of the usernames and pass-words for safekeeping.

Never keep usernames and pass-words on a computer. If the computercontracts a virus or is hacked, thepasswords become fair game. Addition-ally, knowledgeable computer userscould retrieve the information from oldcomputers and access the account.

Another option for password safety isusing a password manager softwarelike KeePass — http://keepass.info —or 1Password —http://agilebits.com/products/1Password.Online password protection pro-grams keep track of all passwords sousers only have to remember oneusername and password. After log-ging in with that username andpassword, they will have access toall other account information.

For more information about manag-ing family finances, contact BrendaSchmitt at (641) 512-0650 or e-mail [email protected].

An ounce of prevention may beworth a pound of cure, but when itcomes to Spot or Fluffy’s health,practicing good dental hygienemay make a ton of difference.

“In fact, an animal’s teeth maybe more important to its overallhealth than most pet ownersrealize,” said J.R. “Bert” Dodd,clinical associate professor atthe Texas A&M College of VeterinaryMedicine & Biomedical Sciences.

“Human dentists have done a reallygood job of educating people on practic-ing good preventive dental health, butoften we do not think about preventivedental health for our pets,” Dodd said.

Overall, dental health can be an indi-cator of current or future health chal-lenges for humans and pets.

“As goes the mouth, so goes the health.Taking care of your pet’s mouth and keep-ing it nice and healthy should help theanimal live longer,” Dodd said. Preventivedental care includes regularly brushingyour pet’s teeth and getting an oral evalu-ation and dental cleaning at least annu-ally by your veterinarian.

Some pet owners may question theimportance of dental health mainte-nance for pets based on their own expe-

rience with childhood pets, butveterinary medicine has come along way over the past 20 years.“It used to be that most of our

pets died at younger ages, so peri-odontal disease did not have a

chance to impact their health andcause damage to their kidneys, liv-ers or other vital organs. Veteri-

nary medicine has advanced suchthat we are now better able to treat thesediseases and our animals are livinglonger, healthier lives,” Dodd said.

Dental therapy for pets includes manyof the same procedures that help humansmaintain healthy teeth, gums andmouths. Available treatments include oralsurgery, periodontics, endodontics,restorations and even orthodontics onfurry patients as needed. Some of theseprocedures may be offered by your familyveterinarian or you may be referred to aboard certified veterinary dentist.

Dodd said it is important that pet own-ers become aware of the serious conse-quences of ignoring a pet’s dental health.

“Periodontal disease is a disease of neglect.If preventative dental health is not practicedand periodontal therapy is ignored,otherhealth complications may follow,”Dodd said.

Teeth, gum or mouth problems can

cause infections and disease, or theycan be symptoms of serious illness inveterinary patients.

“The teeth are 42 little patients in a dog’smouth, so they need to be well taken care ofand treated with respect,” Dodd said.

“It is best to begin home care when yourpuppy or kitten is between 8 and 12weeks old; however, it is never too late tostart,” he said. “The first step is to trainyour pet to accept brushing of the teethand the best way to approach that is toestablish a routine of brushing your pet’steeth with gauze around your finger. Itmay be helpful to use beef or chickenbroth with dogs or tuna water with cats toget them accustomed to the routineinstead of using cleaning agents.”

Once a pet is familiar with the daily rou-tine, you can switch out the gauze for a fin-ger brush or a very soft toothbrush.Thenyou can incorporate using pet toothpaste.Do not use toothpaste intended for peoplebecause the ingredients can cause stomachissues in your pet if ingested.

Between the age of 4 months and 7months all of the “baby” teeth should fallout and be replaced with adult teeth. It isimportant to monitor this process andmake sure that the “baby” teeth do in factfall out and not stay in the mouth when

the adult teeth erupt. These persistentteeth can lead to malocclusion andsevere periodontal disease due to crowd-ing and rotating of the erupting teeth.Prompt veterinary attention can helpprevent these problems.

Contrary to some beliefs, it is impor-tant not to give pets bones from left-over food to chew on. In addition togastrointestinal issues, bones cancause teeth to break which leads toadditional visits to the veterinarianand further medical problems.

More and more pet owners are recog-nizing the connection between healthyteeth and their animal’s overall wellbeing, Dodd said.When you make a den-tal appointment for yourself, it might be agood idea to make a veterinary appoint-ment to have Spot and Fluffy’s teethcleaned and checked also.An ounce ofdental prevention could lead to a longer,healthier life for you and your pet.

It was minutes before the studentswould start arriving, and the fivewomen in the kitchen were movingfast, cutting Stromboli, pouring corninto warming containers, dollopingwhipped cream on the pumpkindessert, putting out plates.

They paused for a moment togather in a circle and say a prayer, and when thestudents started to line up, they were ready.

The students were greeted by name and with asmile, and asked how much they wanted of eachitem being placed on a colorful glass plate. Theneach chose a spot at tables already set with silver-ware and cloth napkins. A “grandmother” camearound to fill their glass cup with milk or water.

It was lunchtime at Marshall Area ChristianSchool, a kindergarten through eighth grade schoolin its 23rd year. The Daily Bread lunch program isnow in its fourth year.

Hot lunches at MACS were being prepared andserved by the Marshall public school kitchens untilthey no longer felt they could continue. When MACSschool board sent an e-mail asking if anyone had anyideas, “we started imagining,” said Julie Christensen.

Christensen and Melinda Meier wondered why

they couldn’t do what they werealready doing at home, on a largerscale in a commercially equippedkitchen. They came up with TheDaily Bread Lunch Program.

“Our mission statement hasn’tchanged since we started out,”Christensen said.

That mission statement reads:“The Daily Bread provides nutri-

tious and economical lunches to Marshall AreaChristian School students, staff and families, striv-ing to honor and protect God’s creation. Locallygrown and all natural ingredients are used in foodpreparation, and reusable tableware, recycling andsharing excess are practiced.”

The Daily Bread serves two hot lunches each week,and is hoping to increase to three. (Students carrytheir lunch the other days.) It is operated by parentsand has its own budget, but works with the blessingand sometimes direction of the school board.

MACS has an enrollment of 75 students in firstthrough eighth grades. They serve about 90 percentof the student body at each meal, along with staffand parents who may come to eat.

Their first goal is to provide nutritious hot meals.To dothat they have gotten to know local producers,and soughtout organic sources when possible. Christensen said that

the Land Stewardship Project was helpful at the begin-ning for locating local sources. They purchase as close tohome as possible, but parents have driven some distanceto pick up food items at various Minnesota communities.

Vegetables come from Earthrise Farm near Madison,meats from Minnesota Valley Organics near Echo, andPastures-A-Plenty near Kerkhoven, berries from Hill-top Harvest near Vesta, grains from Whole GrainMilling at Welcome, eggs from Four Seasons OrganicFarms near Ghent, and pure maple syrup from Kroll’snear Long Prairie. One of their longest drives was tosoutheast Minnesota to purchase frozen organic veg-etables from Sno-Pac, a family run business.

One of their secondary goals is to expand the stu-dents’ food palettes. This is not so much introducingthem to exotic flavors as it is acquainting them withfresh ingredients as opposed to the processed food somany eat these days.

“Imagine tater tot hotdish with all organic and localingredients,” Christensen said. “The same with ourpancakes,” which are served with real whipped creamand local strawberries. “Even our mac and cheese ismade from scratch with organic ingredients.”

While their lunch program is not a new idea — it isdone on a larger scale in places like California — it isunique to this area. They know of only one school inWisconsin with a similar lunch program, thoughthey would be happy to share experiences withanother program if there is one.

What may be unique is that they see this not onlyas feeding their children nutritious meals (thealmost 20 volunteers are mostly mothers of stu-dents), but also as being stewards of God’s creation.The stewardship begins by caring for their bodies by

LUNCH, from pg. 20Aeating healthy meals, and extends tosupporting local farmers who grow thefood. (Most days a boardtells the students wheretheir food came from.)

That stewardshipincludes reusable table-ware and cloth napkins,which volunteers wash.It also means havingminimal food waste.

“From all of these kidseating, we may havethree cups at most ofdiscarded food,” LoriSkrien said. That isaccomplished by individ-ualizing the portionsizes. If a student thinksthey will not like some-thing, they are encour-aged to at least take a taste and, if theylike it, they can come back for more.

The leftover food from a meal is shared.“When we do have excess,” Skrien

said, “there are plenty of families inneed. If there’s a family that we know

has chronic issues (like illness orunemployment), we will give them allof our excess for a month.”

They will even pre-pare extra so there isfood to share.

All of this is carried offwithout any governmentcommodities or support.Volunteers are a majorpart of the success.Skrien is paid a modestsalary to coordinate thelunch program, but therest of the cooks andhelp are volunteers.That salary and thekitchen rent are coveredby an annual fundraiser.The food purchases arecovered by the mealcosts, which this year fora MACS student is

$2.85 with scholarships available.Along with the healthy food, the

healthy atmosphere is a big part ofThe Daily Bread lunch program:smiles and greeting by name whenstudents go through the lunch line,

large colorful plates (there are no plas-tic trays) that are filled for the studentto carry to a table already set, oldervolunteers who serve milk and water.

“It’s the total experience,” Skriensaid, “sitting down and eating like afamily, which is a luxury many fami-lies don’t experience these days.”

Christensen and Skrien would tellyou that it hasn’t been easy, locatingsources and keeping costs down, but itis the successes they like to dwell on —360 people at their fundraising pancakebreakfast last fall, a mother who organ-ized a buying club to purchase items

that cannot be purchased locally, par-ents who have started a year-roundgreenhouse. And, of course, theirenthusiasm for what they are doing.

As The Daily Bread goes through itsfourth year, the organizers are moreand more encouraged by its success.

“We feel it must be the right thing,”Skrien said, “because it has reallybeen blessed through the trials andtribulations.”

If you’re interested in learning more orsharing your experience, you may contactLori Skrien at [email protected] orJulie Christensen at [email protected]. ❖

Skrien: Eating together as a family a luxury for many

Farmers shudder to think thatmany consumers today don’t under-stand where their food comes from. Avisit to a coffee plantation and a nutprocessing company on the Big Islandof Hawaii and the Dole Plantation onOahu would prove to mainlandfarmer/tourists that they sometimesfall into the uneducated consumercategory.

Phil Becker and his wife, Merle,operate the Aikane Plantation andCoffee Co. begun by Merle’s greatgrandfather in 1894 near the Kilaueavolcano on the Big Island. They havereceived numerous awards for theiroperation, and their coffee is the onlyHawaiian brand to receive the Hawaiiseal of quality.

“We pick the coffee beans, or ‘cher-ries,’ by hand from August throughApril,” said Angie, one of the planta-tion workers. “But because of this sea-son, I think we’ll be picking untilJune.”

HAWAII, from pg. 22A

Nut Co. on the northwest coast ofHawaii will discover a Minnesota-Hawaii connection dating back toWorld War II.

The military served Spam processedin Austin, Minn., to troops during thewar, but long after the troopsretreated, Spam remained.

Restaurant breakfast menus on theislands include Spam as a meatoption, and the large Spam-flavoredmacadamia nut display at theHamakua visitor center confirmsSpam’s continued popularity.

“Some companies import the rawnuts, but we use only macadamia nutsgrown in the Hawaiian Islands,” saidthe clerk. “We have samples of most ofour flavored nuts. Help yourself andsee which one you like best. Then takeour self-guided tour.”

A consumer wanting the healthiestcooking oil may want to considerMacadamia nut oil because it rivalsolive oil’s benefits. The oil is 80-per-cent monounsaturated, has no transfat or carbohydrates, and is the lowestof all food oils in Omega-6 fatty acids.The oil has a shelf life of two years

and has a smoke point of389 degrees, twice that ofextra-virgin olive oil.

Dole assumptionwrong

Consumers oftenassume pineapple comesfrom a Dole plantation inHawaii. At one time, thatassumption was accurate,but several years ago, Dolemoved most of its opera-tions to Thailand and thePhilippines because oflabor costs.

Today Dole’s Hawaiian pineapple isgrown for local consumption and fortourists who want to ship a freshpineapple to the mainland.

St. Augustine once said, “The worldis a book and those who do not travelread only one page.” A trip to Hawaiienables the tourist to read a few morepages and to become a more-educatedconsumer.

The author visited the plantationand coffee company while in Hawaiifor the American Farm Bureau annualmeeting earlier this year. ❖

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

The Minnesota Pork Congress is oneof the larger state pork shows inAmerica, with a broad agenda thatputs the emphasis on great speakersand challenging topics. This year’sagenda included a Manure Applica-tors Workshop, Pork Export Projec-tions, Energy Savings in Nurserieswith Reduced Nocturnal Temperatureand Alternative Feed Ingredients.

“The exhibitors obviously helpfinance these events and theexhibitors go where the pork produc-ers are. Iowa and Minnesota arewhere the most producers are found,”said Minnesota Pork Producers Exec-utive Director Dave Preisler.

The Minnesota Pork Congressdraws from North Dakota, SouthDakota, Canada, Wisconsin andnorthern Iowa. Even though there isconsolidation within the supportindustry, exhibitor numbers keepincreasing. “Almost 10 moreexhibitors this year than last year,which was also a record number,”Preisler said. This year’s list tallied150, with several out of Canada and afew even from Europe and Asia.

The beef industry talks of a reposi-tioning going on because of the severedrought through cattle country ofsouthwest United States. Is the porkindustry repositioning?

“Yes,” Preisler said, but it’s not aweather-related phenomena. The “peo-ple resources” and physical infrastruc-ture to better handle the pork industryhave shifted things to the Upper Mid-west. Perhaps not surprisingly, ourmanure handling capabilities are betterhere. “There’s tremendous demandfrom other farmers,” he said, “plus we

have the cultivated crops for positioningof our livestock manure. And because ofenvironmental issues that have becomea huge advantage for this area.”

So are the attendees at the Min-nesota Pork Congress more “tuned in”these days? Preisler thinks so, perhapsbecause many pork producers areyounger. They have an insatiable questfor information and new technologies.There’s simply more “action” at a porkshow than a crop show.

“What I’m seeing are a lot moreyounger guys and gals coming back tothe farm. A profitable industry thatalso offers a good lifestyle, especiallyfor young families, is making the differ-ence,” Preisler said. In addition, a lot oftoday’s hog operations are big enoughto support more than one family. In

essence, Dad now has the financialopportunity for his offspring to returnto the farm. “Meeting the next genera-tion of pork producers is a special treatfor me at our shows,” Preisler said.

Economist Steve Meyerpredicts pork profits for2012 might parallel thestrong profits of the 2011marketing year, andPreisler agrees. Meyerwas talking upwards of$14 per head profits for2012 and that aboutmatches 2011 profits formany producers.

“Historically that’s agood margin,” Preislersaid. “Yes, revenues haveincreased significantly, butcosts are doing the sameupward climb. So just looking at percentreturn on investment, this might not beas good as some of our better years, how-ever a ‘black ink’ year is good for every-one.”

Who owns the hog industry thesedays? Consolidation the past severalyears has drastically lowered the num-ber of producers, and in many areas ithas also skewed ownership. Preislersaid that in Minnesota it’s still a diver-sified industry, and it is still Min-nesota-owned.

“We have a lot of what I call verycompetitive mid-sized operations thathave gotten very good at raising porkand putting proven technology towork,” Preisler said, “and we still havemany Minnesota farmers who grow

crops and hogs and that’s a very com-petitive model. We went so far and sofast into specialization. Now we’re see-ing diversification back on the sceneand a major reason is the big impact ofmanure utilization. You really can dropthe cost of crop production by usingyour own hog manure as the primaryfertility ingredient for your corn crop.”

Pork exports are staying strong, cur-rently at about 27 percent of total U.S.production, Preisler said. That numberkeeps ramping up, especially becauseof the demand out of China, Korea andother Southeast Asia countries. Twoadvantages are driving this exportmarket: The “pig health” issue for hogsproduced in China and South Korea;plus livestock density is getting to be asignificant problem in China and otherAsian countries.

Interestingly, China still producesabout 10 times more pork than does theUnited States. Yet Meyer said the Chi-nese farmer still lives in a “Communistcommand” society, so what motivatesthe Chinese pork farmer?

Preisler has traveled to China a fewtimes. He’s keenly aware of some of whatis happening in this country of nearly 2billion people. They’re not the “back

yard” pig producersanymore. “They’re mak-ing money and nowthere are a growingnumber of private-pub-lic partnerships whichlessens the financialrisk and helps generatebetter-equipped hogproduction facilities.But they’re being chal-lenged by not havingenough farmable land,and acute water supplyproblems. The pig den-sity in China is five

times the pig density of Iowa. That justcomplicates the disease issues for theChinese swine industry.”

Can the swine market get strongenough to ration consumption by theU.S. household? Potentially yes,Preisler said, noting that severaldynamics come into play. Perhaps No.1is that other white meat — the broilerindustry — which puts the cheapestprotein into the meat counter. How-ever both Preisler and Meyer predictbroiler prices, too, will climb simplybecause the broiler producer can’tmake a profit on $1 chicken breasts.

Preisler and Meyer spoke at the Min-nesota Pork Congress in Minneapolisin January. ❖

Coming in 2012: Another ‘black ink’ year for pork

... This mightnot be as goodas some of ourbetter years,however a‘black ink’ yearis good foreveryone.

It looks elementary.

Electronic ear tags that precisely determinehow much feed a given gestation animal getsto eat during any 24-hour period. This isn’tnew technology; it’s already common in milk-ing parlors and robotic milking operations.

That said, Nedap Agri’s display at January’sMinnesota Pork Expo still generated questionsbecause with farrowing crates a diminishing strat-egy in modern swine production, stall feeding viaelectronics is being looked at.

Gary Wyse, representing Nedap at the Expo,explained his electronic sow feeding technology thisway: “With the ear tag in place, each animal walksinto a feed station which automatically locks behindthe animal, providing total security as it munchesthrough its daily ration. An antenna reads the eartag identifying the animal and then dispenses theexact amount of feed for that particular animal.”

If it’s a five-pound allotment for that particularsow, feed gets dropped in 3 1/2 to 4-ounce incrementsuntil the total allotment is reached. The system alsosimultaneously adds some water to the “feedingbowl” so she’s enjoying a mush meal, so to speak.“Sort of like getting milk with your crackers,” Wysesaid. It’s not enough water to drink but it certainlymakes dry feed more palatable.

Feeding time is adjustable. If the producer prefershis sows and gilts eating only during an 8 a.m. to 10a.m. period, so be it. However “chow time” can be anytime within a 24-hour time frame. Typically gestat-ing sows eat only once per day, but if a particularanimal prefers eating two or three times per day, shecan be ear tagged with information that triggers thefeeding stalls accordingly.

The number of stalls depends on herd size as wellas the cost efficiencies a particular producer is look-

ing for. Wyse said, “with fewer sows and more spaceper sow, the higher the production on a piglet-per-sow-per-year basis up to about 24 square feet persow and 45 sows per station. In this scenario you cansee upwards of 30 piglets per sow per year. Moresows per feeding station and arithmetically you seea downward trend in piglets per sow per year.”

He said Nedap doesn’t have substantiatedresearch to verify anticipated production declines ifsows per feeding station get increased above thatsuggested 45-sow figure. “But you will see a declinein a sow’s piglet production as you increase up to 65animals per feeding station.”

Cost per feeding station as compared to a typicalstall barn is about $200 to $210 per sow space in thesystem. The electronics of this sophisticated systemare guaranteed for 30 months from date of manufac-ture. The systems are manufactured in Holland,long a leader in animal handling equipment. Eartags are warranted for five years. “If they getdumped into the manure pit, and you can find themsend us the damaged tag and we’ll send you a newone,” Wyse said.

Farm costs are about $10 per ear tag. Wyse admitsthat these tags are expensive but with a five-yearwarranty they can be reused multiple times, mean-ing if the “older sows” get marketed and the five-year span hasn’t expired, the tags can be taken off

the departing sows and can be used on the gilts.

Labor savings with this automated system aredifficult to predict. “It depends so much on how aparticular producer sets up his overall housing andhandling for his gilts and sows. However with adynamic group it can be substantial. We have a1,000-sow producer in Manitoba that has only threeguys to run the entire operation,” Wyse said.

The system can do several automated jobs. Forexample, when you need to administer shots, if theyare spray marked with a different color, it can sortout and direct these individuals into a specific pen.And it can adjust to handle DDGs in the ration,even up to a 40-percent level.

“As long as it’s still a dry feed the system will han-dle such a ration,” Wyse said. “But you can adjusteach sow’s feed strategy by the parity of that sow.Also you can adjust by body condition scores of eachanimal. You have the opportunity to use up to 999feed strategies with this system.”

Note that this system is designed only for sowsand gilts during their gestation period. It is not alactation feeding system.

This technology dates back to 1982, and the cur-rent electronic system has been available since1996. “Today it’s just an easier system to work with.It’s very common in the western European nations.We have some installations in China, and some inEastern Europe,” Wyse said, and it’s now slowlyworking into the American swine industry. In West-ern Europe “open pen” gestation becomes manda-tory in 2013, so as sow stalls disappear, the Nedapsystem will become much more common.

His business card with usual name,e-mail address and phone numberalso has two questions: “What’s itworth?” and “Where can I find it?”

Machinery Pete, widely known toanyone buying or selling machinery,is otherwise known as Greg Peterson.

He graduated with an accountingdegree from Gustavus Adolphus Col-lege in St. Peter, Minn., in 1988.

His first job out of college was inaccounting. However his Dad, JerryPeterson, was a third generation farmimplement dealer at Benson, Minn.,so Greg simply says, “I grew uparound farm machinery. But when Igraduated from Gustavus it didn’tfeel right to go home and join my Dad.Plus the ’80s were tough going forboth farmers and implement dealers.

“My wife, Jackie, also a Gustie grad-uate, was a Rochester (Minn.) nativeand got a teaching job in Rochester. Sowe moved to Rochester in the fall of1989. I had a two-month window look-ing for an accounting job. It was dur-ing this window that I talked with mydad and this opportunity of a nichebusiness compiling auction prices

came into being.”Peterson said it was a banker in Mor-

ris, Minn., who already had createdthe business of auction pricing. “John,my banker friend at Morris, got a pro-motion and no longer had time to han-dle his little sideline business of col-lecting auction prices. But my fatherused his auction price book; in fact lit-erally wore the cover off it because myDad always wanted to know what theequipment was worth sitting on hisown implement yard.

“John was ready to sell his business.My Dad with 34 years in the equip-ment business was telling me that thisinformation is very helpful. So I lis-tened to my father and that was thestart of compiling auction prices.”

For the first five years Peterson hadtwo part-time jobs to make this thingswing, but since 1995 this has been afull-time job and then some.

Business has been good for Machin-ery Pete. His staff includes three peo-ple but he still keeps his finger onmuch of the auction pricing regardlessthe time frame. Like at 11 p.m., mid-night or later he may be scanning

PETE, from pg. 26AFacebook and drop in with a note “Ijust saw this John Deere 4020 sell forsuch and such. So quite often at mid-night I’m doing some Facebook corre-sponding. It’s been part of my life for22 years now. The fun I have is inter-acting with people.”

So is “retail auction” still the betterway to sell used equipment versus pri-vate treaty? He talks about the chang-ing scenario of farm auctions today.“It’s much like the celebration of a life.Quite often we see tears at a farm auc-tion, but tears of joy. A good auctioneercan give that ‘forward lean’ to a sale; inessence he/she knows how to coaxthose extra dollars out of a given pieceof equipment.

“There aren’t as many auctions thesedays. So know when a sale does showup with really good quality equipmentyou get more people attending andready to go. Then the ‘auction dynamic’kicks in and we push to these highprices, currently often record highsover any previous sale for a particularpiece of equipment.”

Quality equipment that has beenprepped for the sale is the real deter-miner of value. He thinks farmers arein fact taking much better care of theirequipment, partly because it costs somuch but also because most farmersnow have quality shops and sheds forthe maintenance and storage of theirmachinery.

“The thing about a farmer selling hisown equipment on his own farm is thatyou don’t have the dynamic of sud-denly three or only two bidders at theend willing to be the last bidder,”Peterson said.

Online action is making a dent in theauction business.

The price gap between traditionalauctions and online auctions is nar-rowing considerably, Peterson said. “Asthese websites become more savvy andwork in more video and pictures,they’re becoming a real growing mar-ketplace in the machinery world.Buyer’s premium depends upon eachonline auction firm with lots of differ-ences from one to the next. Consis-tency is the key with these firms devel-

oping online auctions.“But I’m also seeing traditional auc-

tions now bringing in online bidding sobesides your local bidders you mighthave bids from several different states.That’s bringing a new level of sophisti-cation, and competitive bidding intothe auction world,” he said.

Relating to the growing world of col-lector machinery items he sees a newsegment of people, often older farmersand retired farmers wanting to addthat special 40-year-old tractor thatwas a prime power when they wereactive, but smaller farmers. “Powerfulmemories with a guy with a hunk ofdisposable income is where the pre-mium money is being paid for thesetractors.”

You would think the auction busi-ness was mostly seasonal, mostlybecause of weather and the “farmingtime” of farmers. That used to be theroutine with little auction time duringthe St. Patrick’s Day to early fallperiod, then pick up until the end ofthe year and into March. But todayauctions are a year-round event with

timing sometime a factor. “We’re see-ing more nice farm auctions close tothe start of planting, especially if it’sgood equipment. Also quite a few auc-tion companies now have their ownindoor facility so year-round auctionscan work, regardless the challenges ofthe weather,” said Peterson, now 46years old.

Because he loves what he’s doing heventured that hopefully 30 years fromnow he’d still be quoting farm equip-ment prices.

He wants as much total informationto validate values. Like even pricing aset of 18.4-38 duals priced at $1,200he wants to know if its 60-percenttread or 80-percent tread. “As best wecan, we want to place the buyer at theauction and that means all thedetailed information we can give apotential buyer. And that’s really thefun of my work. We’re constantly dig-ging for info.”

Sale nominations and trade show booth exhibitorsare being sought for the first annual MinnesotaBeef Showcase Sale and Agribition.

The three-day event will be held March 29-31 atthe Red Horse Ranch Arena in Fergus Falls, Minn.The Minnesota Beef Showcase features an allbreeds beef consignment sale, industry trade showand educational seminars.

“The Minnesota Beef Showcase Sale and Agribi-tion is a new yearly opportunity for all involved inthe beef industry to come together in one location.Cow-calf producers will be able to select from sev-eral breeds and reputable breeders to purchasetheir herd’s next genetics through the sale. Theywill also be able to participate in educational semi-nars and interact with exhibitors during the tradeshow,” said Jim Scharpe, executive secretary for theMinnesota Angus Association.

The sale will feature consignments from some ofthe most progressive cattle breeders in Minnesotaand surrounding states. The Minnesota Beef Show-case will host the annual state sales of the Min-nesota Angus Association, Minnesota GelbviehAssociation, Minnesota Maine Anjou Association

and Minnesota Limousin Association, as well as rep-resentation from other breeds.

Consignments include bulls, open heifer, bredheifers and cow-calf pairs, sold as individual lots orpens of three. The sale will also include selectembryo lots from desirable genetic matings.

Sale cattle will be available for viewing all dayMarch 30 and the morning of March 31. Sales willbegin at 1 p.m. on March 31, with all breeds sellingconcurrently. Consignment information can be foundat www.mn-angus.com. The sale catalog may also beviewed at this web address or at www.conoverauction.com, prior to the sale.

The trade show will be open all day on March 30-31. Trade show booth rental space is available andmay be reserved by contacting Scharpe at (507) 380-3431 or [email protected].

“The trade show allows for interaction betweencattlemen and cattlewomen and businesses andvenders marketing a wide-range of agriculture andhousehold products,” Scharpe said.

The University of Minnesota Beef Team and Igen-ity representative Zac Hall will lead the educational

seminars at 1 p.m. March 30. One topic that will beaddress is “DNA Enhanced EPDs — What theymean to the breeder’s bottom line when purchasingbreeding stock.”

The Minnesota Beef Showcase Sale and Agribitionis also pleased to announce the partnership withAgCountry Farm Credit Services of Fargo, N.D., as amajor sponsor of the Minnesota Beef Showcase.AgCountry Farm Credit Services provides credit andfinancial services to farmers and ranchers in easternNorth Dakota and northwest and west central Min-nesota, and to agribusinesses across the country.

“Although the Minnesota Angus Association hastaken a lead role in getting the first Minnesota BeefShowcase off the ground, it is very much a multi-breed association effort. The goal going forward is tohave a representative for each breed associationinvolved serve as the organization and planningcommittee. This is a non-profit event and will high-light the Minnesota beef industry,” Scharpe said.

A record attendance in excess of3,300 people saw the close of the 2012Midwest Organic and SustainableEducation Service Organic FarmingConference, the largest organic farm-ing conference in the United States.The event ran Feb. 23-25 in La Crosse,Wis.

According to MOSES ExecutiveDirector Faye Jones, the 2012 confer-ence was marked by an emphasis onyouth. “It was satisfying to see thenumber of young people who want tofarm. It is a diverse group, which iskey since the average age of an Ameri-can farmer is 57 years. This bodes wellfor our country’s agricultural future.”

The Young Organic Stewards playeda key role at the conference. MOSESand Renewing the Countryside coordi-nate the YOS project, with partialfunding provided by the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture Beginning Farmerand Rancher Development Program.Youth will be served, as evidenced by

the large number of Tweets being con-stantly posted on Twitter, which alsowere posted in real-time feed on theMOSES website,www.mosesorganic.org.

Feb. 25’s keynote speaker, award-winning filmmaker Curt Ellis, dis-cussed an initiative he’s leading calledFood Corps, aimed at improving nutri-tion education for our youth, encourag-ing school gardens and bringing high-quality local food into public schools.More on Food Corps at www.foodcorps.org.

Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis., made anappearance at the conference andexpressed his views on organic farm-ing. “I believe really strongly inorganic farming, I think it represents agreat movement in our country and inour state.” As Kohl has announced hisintent not to run for reelection, hequipped, “Maybe I’ll be an organicfarmer.” To watch the video interviewwith Kohl, log on to

This column was writtenfor the marketing week end-ing Feb. 24.

January milk productionin the top 23 dairy statestotaled 15.8 billion pounds,according to the U.S.Department of Agriculture’spreliminary data, up 3.7percent from January 2011.

Revisions added a millionpounds to the Decemberestimate and put total2011 production at196.2 billion pounds,up 1.8 percent from2010. Cow numbers in 2011 totaled9.19 million head, up 0.8 percent from2010, and milk per cow averaged21,345 pounds, up 197 pounds from2010. The USDA pointed out that theaverage output per cow has risen 14.7percent since 2002. January output inthe 50 states totaled 16.9 billionpounds, up 3.4 percent.

January cow numbers inthe 23 major dairy statestotaled 8.5 million head, up13,000 from December and93,000 above a year ago.Output per cow averaged1,857 pounds, up 46 from ayear ago.

California was up a whop-ping 6.6 percent from a yearago, thanks to 29,000 morecows and a 95-pound gainper cow. Wisconsin was up

3.7 percent, on a 65-pound gain per cow butcow numbers were

unchanged. Idaho was up 4.7 percenton 8,000 more cows and 60 poundsmore each. New York was up just 0.3percent on a 5-pound gain per cow butcow numbers were unchanged. Penn-sylvania was up 0.6 percent on a 20-pound gain per cow but cow numberswere down 3,000. Minnesota was up ahalf percent, thanks to a 25-pound gainper cow but cow numbers were down

5,000 head.The biggest gains were again in the

west. Arizona was up 7 percent on an85-pound gain per cow and 5,000 morecows. Texas was up 3.8 percent on a 25-pound gain per cow and 10,000 morecows. Washington state saw a 5.4 per-cent increase on 11,000 more cows anda 20-pound gain per cow.

Vermont was the only state in the top23 showing a decline, off a half percent,but New Mexico’s rate of gain slowed inJanuary despite a 12,000-cow increase,up just 0.7 percent. Output per cowplunged 60 pounds.

The USDA’s Live-stock Slaughterreport estimated263,800 culled dairycows were slaugh-tered under federalinspection in January,up just 1,900 fromDecember, and virtu-ally unchanged fromthe 263,900 in Janu-ary 2011.

FC Stone dairy economist Bill Brookscalled the Milk Production report “bear-ish” on butter but indicates strong pizzasales on the cheese side. Cash blockcheese closed Feb. 24 at $1.4675 perpound, down 2 cents on the President’sDay holiday-shortened week, and 52cents below a year ago when it wasflirting with the $2 level. Barrel closedat $1.47, down a penny on the week and48 cents below a year ago. Nineteencars of block and five of barrel tradedhands on the week. The National Agri-cultural Statistics Service-surveyedU.S. average block price fell to $1.5046,down 2.7 cents, while the barrels aver-aged $1.5251, down 0.4 cent.

The USDA’s Dairy Market Newsreports that cheese production remainsabove expected levels as increased milksupplies are available and offered atdiscounts in some cases. Buyers areattempting to determine if this is the“bottom” for the near-term andwhether to increase orders or wait forlower prices. This wait-and-see attitudeis increasing inventories at somecheese plants.

Butter closed at $1.4175, up a quar-ter-cent on the week, but 60.25 centsbelow a year ago. Nine cars found newhomes on the week. The NASS averagefell to $1.4417, down 5.7 cents. NASSnonfat dry milk averaged $1.3637,down 4 cents, and dry whey averaged63.95 cents, down 0.2 cent.

Churning schedules across the coun-try remain seasonally strong as creamremains readily available, according tothe USDA, and continues to move fromone region to another to find churningcapacity or willing buyers. Often,churning activity is surpassingdemand, thus clearances to inventorycontinue.

Speaking of inventory, the USDA’slatest Cold Storage report showed Jan-uary butter stocks soared 60 percentfrom December and hit 171.2 millionpounds, up 44 percent from January2011.

American-typecheese, at 612.5 mil-lion pounds, wasunchanged fromDecember but 4 per-cent below a yearago. Total cheesestocks declined 1 per-cent during January,to 977.8 millionpounds, 7 percentbelow a year ago.

■

Milk production across the country isgenerally more enhanced this yearthan in previous years for this time ofthe season, according to the USDA’sweekly update. As pointed out lastweek, much of that is attributed to afairly mild winter, and the increasingvolumes are being met with challengesas some milk and components are hav-ing a hard time finding available pro-cessing capacity.

Class I sales are typical for this timeof the month although some strongerdemand occurred in the Central regionwhere late-winter storms sent con-sumers to stores for bottled milk andfood staples.

Last week I reported that the North-west Dairy Association is implement-ing a “base” program for April throughSeptember. Its processor arm, Darigold,experienced a major fire this week inone of its two dryers at its Lynden,Wash., plant. Capacity was reduced to60 percent at an operation that dries 4million pounds of milk per day. Repairswill take three to five months, accord-ing to Darigold officials, and the causeof the blaze is still under investigation.

On a brighter note, Dairy ProfitWeekly Dave Natzke reported in Fri-day’s DairyLine broadcast that theFood and Drug Administration’s

MIELKE, from pg. 30Aannual report on milk drug residue test-ing had some good news. The number ofmilk samples testing “positive” for drugresidues was a record low in 2011. Ofnearly 3.8 million milk samples ana-lyzed, just 1,079 (28 one-thousandthof 1 percent) tested positive andnone of those positives were foundin pasteurized milk and dairy prod-ucts headed to consumers.

On the down side, he said that consumers are get-ting less milk in fluid form. Based on government esti-mates, less than 28 percent of all milk marketed in2011 was sold in gallon jugs and other packaged fluidproducts. “With dairy consumption inching upward,that means U.S. consumers are purchasing morecheese, butter, yogurt, dairy protein foods and otherdairy products,” Natzke said.

■

Looking “back to the futures,” the average Class IIImilk price for the first six months of 2012 stood at$17.60 per hundredweight on Jan. 6; $17.28 on Jan.13; $16.81 on Jan. 20; $16.85 on Jan. 27; $16.35 onFeb. 3, (after factoring in the announced JanuaryClass III milk price) $16.19 on Feb. 10; $16.08 onFeb. 17 and was hovering around $15.71 late morn-ing Feb. 24.

■

Speaking of milk prices, Dairy Profit Weeklyreports that Vermont’s congressional delegation hasintroduced legislation to extend the Milk IncomeLoss Contract program beyond its expiration date atthe end of fiscal year 2012. The MILC ContinuationAct of 2012 would extend MILC for one year at cur-rent levels.

You’ll recall that the MILC payments are triggered

when the Class I price in Boston falls below$16.94/cwt. Currently, the base payment rate is anypositive difference between $16.94 and the Class Imilk price at Boston, times 45 percent. There is alsoa “feed cost adjuster,” increasing the payment whenthe price of a hundredweight of dairy feed risesabove its target of $7.35.

Set to expire Sept. 30, the potential payment totalalso takes a significant hit in its final month, whenpayments drop to 34 percent of the difference in the$16.94/cwt. trigger and the actual Boston Class Iprice. Payments under the program are limited byproduction. Currently, producers are eligible toreceive payments on up to 2.985 million pounds perfiscal year.

Meanwhile, the University of Wisconsin’s BrianGould updated his MILC payment projections. Basedon Feb. 17 futures and Class I base price announce-ments, he projects producer payments of 8 cents/cwt.for February; 44.1 cents for March; 76.5 cents forApril; 83.9 cents for May; 72.4 cents for June; 68.9cents for July; 45.5 cents for August; 22 cents forSeptember; 8.8 cents for October; 1.3 cents forNovember and none for December.

■

Cooperatives Working Together accepted 17requests for export assistance this week to sell atotal of 1.3 million pounds of cheese and just under 1

million pounds of butter to customers inAsia, Central America, the Middle Eastand North Africa. That raised 2012 CWTcheese sales to 24.5 million pounds and19.9 million of butter to 16 countries.

In dairy politics, California’s Milk Pro-ducers Council took IDFA’s Connie Tiptonto task in its Feb. 17 newsletter for com-ments she made last week on Capitol Hill

and which I reported on here last week. MPC’s RobVandenheuvel wrote that he agreed with Tipton that“our pricing system addresses a problem that existedmany years ago but disagrees with anyone that triesto argue that our fundamental problem no longerexists.”

The problem, Vandenheuvel said, is that dairyfarmers “produce a highly-perishable product thatmust be sold every day to a group of buyers (proces-sors) that don’t have to buy every day and don’t

‘Dairy farmers at disadvantage at negotiating table’

See MIELKE, pg. 33A

MIELKE, from pg. 31Ahave to buy from any specificdairy. ... That fundamental realitystill impacts our dairy farms just as it did 100 yearsago and puts our dairy farmers at an immediate dis-advantage when coming to the negotiating table.”

“In response to this fundamental imbalance, ourindustry has enlisted the government, whether that’sthe federal government (federal orders) or a state gov-ernment (such as California) to act as a “referee” inestablishing at least a minimum price that those buy-ers of milk (including IDFA’s members) must pay forthe milk they purchase,” he wrote, “And it’s that govern-ment function that IDFA is trying to eliminate.”

■

Finally, the National Milk Producers Federation isexpressing concern over a new report on the “anti-com-petitive practices pervasive in the New Zealand dairyindustry.” The report “highlights why the U.S. dairyfarmer sector is so concerned with including U.S.-NewZealand dairy trade in a potential Trans-Pacific Part-nership free trade agreement,” a federation pressrelease explained, and the issue is one NMPF has com-municated to the Obama administration.

The report was prepared by the U.S.Dairy Export Council. An accompanying

letter notes that “New Zealand’s largestcompany has been provided special privileges by thegovernment that enables it to maintain a roughly 90percent market share of the milk produced in NewZealand. This advantageous position has given this sin-gle dairy company direct control of more than one-thirdof world dairy trade without even accounting for the

additional sales controlled through its many productionand distributor relationships around the world,”USDEC said. Details are posted at www.nmpf.org.

NMPF: ‘Anti-competitive practices’ in New ZealandMARKETING

Transitioning to organic farming can present financialuncertainty for farmers, but a special program is avail-able in Minnesota to help them accomplish their goals.

The “Tools for Transition” program, led by the Uni-versity of Minnesota, Minnesota Department of Agri-culture and other partners, provides scholarships cov-ering up to 90 percent of farm business managementtuition to qualifying farmers.

Now in its second year, Tools for Transition is aimedat helping farmers better understand the cost andprocess of transitioning to organic. Minnesota fieldcrop or dairy farmers who have any acres in transi-tion or who have been certified fewer than threeyears are eligible to apply, and the program’s leadersare eager to enroll more farmers this year.

Participating farmers are giving Tools for Transi-tion the thumbs up. One of the 32 farmers enrolled inthe program said farm business management educa-tion has helped him understand costs, productionpossibilities and marginal returns that can make orbreak a farmer in today’s markets.

Farmers in Tools for Transition work directly with afarm business management instructor on a person-ally designed program to help them understand andbetter manage their own cost of production, prof-itability and other financial measures. UMN agricul-tural economists analyze the data to look for patternsand trends, while carefully protecting the privacy ofall participants’ financial information.

Program participants get the chance to participatein special workshops and to receive a discount toattend the annual Minnesota Organic Conference.

To learn more about the scholarships, call adminis-trator Meg Moynihan at (651) 201-6616. ❖

Grain AnglesUSDA economist: Everything’s roses

On Feb. 22 and 23, the U.S. Department of Agricul-ture held their annual Agricultural Forum.

The USDA’s top economist, Joseph Glauber, described astrong farm economy with bright prospects of the nextyear. He said,“2011 was a very good year for much of U.S.agriculture; we saw record prices for many commodities,record agricultural exports andrecord farm income. Not surprising,record prices have prompted recordproduction for many commoditiesand as we saw over the last half of2011, prices for grains, oilseeds andcotton have come down, reflectingstrong production levels.”

The USDA projected a 14.27billion bushel corn crop from 94million acres planted. This wouldbe a record that’s enough toreplenish stocks. If this were tooccur it would put downwardpressure on prices. The USDA ispredicting farmers will receive an average price of $5per bushel in the 2012-13 crop year. This price is theaverage cash price received at the farm gate.

Soybean production is projected 6 percent higher at3.25 billion bushels due to increased harvested acreageand yield. Planting will be 75 million acres, but theaverage yield is projected at 43.9 bushels an acre, up 2.4percent from 2011. Soybean farm prices are expected todrop slightly to an average of $11.50 per bushel.

Wheat production in 2012 is expected to increasemore than 8 percent to 2.165 billion bushels due to ahike in acreage and yield. The national averagewheat yield is projected at 44.5 bushels per acre, up0.8 bushels from 2011. The stocks-to-use ratio for2012-13 is projected at 44 percent. The 2012-13 farmprices for all wheat are projected at $6.30 a bushel.

Grain OutlookWeather talk creeping in

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing Feb. 24.

CORN — After yet another Monday holiday, cornwas relatively quiet this week with demand providingunderlying support and the expectation of a bigincrease in acreage from the U.S. Department of Agri-culture Outlook Forum keepingthe lid on the upside. March corntraded entirely within last week’srange, while the December con-tract traded to five-week lows.

There was significant corn-bean spreading early in theweek, one day favoring sellcorn/buy beans, and the next justthe opposite. The USDA releasednon-survey based 10-year balancesheets at their annual OutlookConference on Feb. 24.The surveybased 2012-13 Prospective Planti-ngs report will be released onMarch 31. The conference’s 2012 corn acreage forecastwas 94 million acres, up 2.1 percent from this year’s91.9 million planted acres and unchanged from thebaseline projection. If realized, this will be the biggestcorn acreage planted in over 70 years.

Using their 164-bushel-per-acre yield estimate(based on a 1990-2010 trendline), production wouldtotal 14.27 billion bushels. The 164 bu./acre yieldwould be the second-highest yield in U.S. history. Forthat to happen, we will need nearly ideal weather.

Corn used for ethanol is forecast to drop 50 millionbushels next year to 4.95 billion bushels. Endingstocks for 2012-13 were projected at 1.616 billionbushels, over double this year’s expected carryout.The average farm-gate price for next year waspegged at $5 per bushel. This is much lower than thisyear’s latest projection of $5.80 to $6.60 per bushel.

Livestock AnglesOne market on fire;

one smolderingThe livestock markets are quite the interesting mar-

kets these days. One of the markets has been on fire,while the other seems to be content to just smolder. Thisbrings to mind that there might be some major changesin the weeks and months ahead in the livestock industry.

The firestorm has been in the cattle market whichhas continued to make new all-time highs in price on a seeminglyregular basis. The most commonreason given for the strength hasbeen the reduced numbers of cat-tle. This may have been the cata-lyst to get the market moving tothe higher prices, but the mostprominent reason since the firstof the year has been the influx ofspeculative money infused intothe futures market.

Price discovery has not been afunction of the current fundamen-tals, but rather the movement inthe futures prices that have dictated the price paid inthe cash market. The heavy concentration of this spec-ulative money has been to the long side of the marketand has overwhelmed the trade into believing that theonly direction is up for cattle prices. This is reminis-cent of other markets that have moved to extreme lev-els which are labeled bubble markets. The problemwith bubbles is they tend to burst when over-inflated.

The fundamentals are a concern at this juncture aspackers have been forced to pay higher prices for liveinventory, the beef cutouts have not kept up with thecosts of the raw product and the profit margin for thepacker has disappeared. Because the beef cutout hasmoved higher the domestic demand for beef hasshrunk accordingly. A typical “Catch-22.”

NYSTROM, from pg. 34AChina purchased 120,000 metric tons of U.S. corn

this week for delivery in the current marketing year,with speculation that the 110,000 mt of corn sold tounknown destination for this year will also go toChina. If the 110,000 mt was China, that wouldbring China’s purchases of U.S. corn for this year to3.88 mmt, only slightly less than the USDA 4.0 mmtforecast. China announced this week they were eas-ing their monetary policy by lowering reserverequirements for banks. Easier access to money maylead to on-going imports. Argentina’s RosarioExchange lowered its corn production to “no morethan 20 mmt” when they were predicting 21.4 mmtpreviously. The last USDA estimate was 22 mmt.

Weekly export sales were 33 million bushels for oldcrop, nothing for new crop. Total export commit-ments are 8 percent behind last year and roughly onpace to meet the USDA number. Cold weather hasseverely restricted Ukrainian export shipments,likely pushing up interest in U.S. corn, especiallyfrom Japan. It was rumored that Japan bought 1.8mmt of basis corn out of the United States for the

April to June time slot. Weeklyethanol production was down 9,000barrels per day to 919,000 barrels perday, which was better than expected.

OUTLOOK: Demand for old crop corn is providinga floor to prices. The uncertainty over how muchChina may purchase should limit downside ideas.For new crop, weather talk is creeping into everydayconversations and how current snowfall will benefitthe soil moisture profile. This winter has been warmand dry, which should lead to early planting, butmany areas will need rain once the crop is in.

Early planting normally means corn can miss thehottest temperatures when it pollinates, giving it abetter shot at higher yields. But I’m not telling youanything you don’t know. New crop will feed offweather and the moving target of soybean carryout.For the week, March corn was down a penny at $6.403/4 and the December contract was 10 1/4 centslower at $5.58 per bushel.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans continued their trek to$12.90 to $13 this week on good demand and disap-pointing rainfall in Brazil’s Rio Grande do Sul

region. Trade chatter contained talkthat Brazilian production may fall to66 mmt to 68 mmt and Argentina to

45 mmt to 47 mmt. The Rosario Exchange cut theirsoybean production estimate for Argentina from49.5 mmt to 44.5 mmt due to dry weather. Truckersin Argentina are threatening to strike March 19,which could slow exports. Export line-ups in Brazilalso continue to grow.

Taking in the problems in South America, wecould expect some demand to be pushed back to theUnited States and could last through the summer.This may also spread to new crop since we’ll need toattract additional acres to soybeans to meetdemand. The new crop corn-bean ratio is currentlyat 2.28.

Weekly export sales were a marketing year highof 42.6 million bushels for old crop and 105.5 mil-lion bushels for new crop. Total export commit-ments are running 27 percent behind last year.

The USDA Conference’s 75 million soybeanacreage projection was supportive to the market incombination of lower South American productionfigures. The conference’s acreage estimate would beunchanged from 2011-12, but was 1 million acresover the baseline projection. Total production of3.25 billion bushels is 200 million higher than thisyear. Yield was pegged at 43.9 bu./acre versus thisyear’s 41.5 bu./acre yield. Forecasted ending stocksof 205 million are well below this year’s 275 millionbushels. Their average farmer price for 2012-13 was$11.50 per bushel versus this year’s $11.10 to$12.30 per bushel estimate.

OUTLOOK: Good demand, concern over finalyields in South America, and March soybeans wereup 11 1/2 cents this week at $12.79 with theNovember contract up 8 3/4 cents at $12.70 3/4 perbushel. Farmer selling did pick up when soybeanprices made new highs for the move which resultedin a slight pull back in basis as we went home forthe weekend. Fund buying has contributed to therun-up, keeping a strong uptrend in place. Look forsome pull backs, but they should be conservative forthe time being. March soybeans closed higher nineout of the last 10 sessions as of Feb. 24.

Farmer selling picks up as beans hit new highs

TEALE, from pg. 34Afindings were as follows: on-feed, 102 percent; place-ments, 98 percent and marketed, 102 percent. Thereport was seen as slightly friendly because of the mar-keted number. Considering the ramifications of thereport it will likely have little effect on the market, sinceit will depend more on the money flow into or out of thefutures in the weeks ahead. Producers should approachthe market with skepticism and protect inventorieswhen opportunity presents itself.

On the other hand, the hog market has quietly edgedhigher since the first of the year. Demand for pork hasincreased due in part to a good export market and anincreasing domestic demand. This increase in demandcould be the result of the high flying beef cutouts as con-sumers look for better value in the meat arena.

Considering the slaughter rate over the past few

months coupled with the amount of pork in cold stor-age, this would back the idea that pork demand isgood. Slaughter of hogs is higher than a year ago,and at the same time we have seen only a minorincrease in the stocks of pork in storage.

Given this fact and that hog numbers are fairlystable, this should reflect on a fairly stable if not animproving outlook for hog prices. The hog markethas not seen the money flow into the futures as thecattle have experienced and therefore a much morebenign market and a market that is following moreclosely the underlying fundamentals.

If the beef prices move higher, look for pork prices tocontinue to firm as demand shifts away from beef intothe better value pork. Producers should continue tomonitor the hog market and protect inventories againstany adverse changes in the market conditions. ❖

Hog market stable, if not improving

NEHER, from pg. 34ACotton acreage is expected to decline about 10 percent

in 2012 due to lower cotton prices relative to other crops.Acreage for 2012 is projected at 13 million acres. Pro-duction however is projected to rise to 17 million bales.Prices are projected at 80 cents a pound for 2012-13.

Rice acreage is projected at 2.75 million acres, up 2percent from 2011. All of the gains will be in thelong-grain rice Delta states. Rice is expected to havean average price of $14.70 per hundredweight at thefarm gate.

The USDA estimates assume average weather andthat most of the acreage idled by prevented-plantingclaims last spring will return to production.

Glauber ended his presentation addressing on-farmincome. He forecasts net cash income for 2012 to be at$96.3 billion, down 11.5 percent from 2011, but still the

second highest on record. He suggested that farm assetvalues are likely to increase 5 percent in the comingyear. Glauber said that land prices have appreciated by20 percent or more in different parts of the country,while farmers’ debt levels are set to rise 4 percent.

When I read all of these reports, I think that these folksare much smarter than I ever will become. It all makesmy head spin and I feel almost hopeless. Then I remem-ber the sage wisdom of my Grandpa. He would tell me,“Remember that high prices will take care of high prices.”Followed by, “it is always a good idea to buy your strawhats in January.” Then, “it generally doesn’t work to dothis year, what I should have done last year.”

Frankly, I think those three Grain Angles tell memore than the entire team of USDA economists puttogether. Or maybe I am just a country boy lookingfor an answer. ❖

The U.S. Department of Agriculture hasannounced a General ConservationReserve Program sign-up from March 12through April 6 at county Farm ServiceAgency offices throughout the country.

General CRP sign-ups were also held in2011 when 3.75 million acres wereaccepted into the CRP, and in 2010 whenabout 4.2 million acres were acceptedinto the CRP.

In 2011, the CRP celebrated its 25thanniversary, and over two and a halfdecades of conservation success. TheCRP was originally established inthe 1985 farm bill, and today hasover 400,000 landownersparticipating, most of whoare farmers and ranchers,and currently has just under29.7 million acres undersome type of CRP contracts.

The USDA has cited theCRP as the largest and mostimportant conservation programin recent decades in this coun-try. The CRP continues to makemajor contributions to nationalefforts to improve water and airquality, prevent soil erosion, pro-tect environmentally sensitive land and enhancewildlife populations. Some of the benefits of theCRP over the past two and a half decades cited by

the USDA include:• 450 million tons of soil erosion

reduced annually.• Each year, the CRP keeps more than

600 million pounds of nitrogen and morethan 100 million pounds of phosphorusfrom flowing into rivers, streams andlakes in the United States.

• 2 million acres of wetlands andbuffers restored.

• 2 million acres of stream bank pro-tected along rivers and streams.

• Enhanced populations of ducks,pheasants, quail and other wildlife

species.• The CRP provides over

$1.7 billion per year to pri-vate landowners, which aredollars that help supportlocal businesses and the localeconomy.

• The CRP is the largestprivate lands carbon seques-tration program in theUnited States. In 2010, theCRP resulted in carbonsequestration equal to taking

almost 10 million cars off the road.• There are currently 43 Conservation Reserve

Enhancement Programs in 32 states in targetedwatersheds, which has generated over $1 billion inadditional state and private funds for federal conser-vation efforts through the CRP.

The bids that are offered into the CRP for 2012 willbe evaluated, using the “environmental benefitsindex.” The USDA plans to target the most environ-

mentally sensitive land with the 2012 CRP sign-up,in order to reduce soil erosion, protect water and airquality, and to enhance wildlife protection and car-bon sequestration. There will continue to be specialfocus on buffer strips near rivers and streams.

Following are the EBI factors used by the FSA toevaluate the CRP contract offers.

• Water quality benefits from reduced erosion,runoff and leaching.

• Wildlife habitat benefits from land covers on theCRP contract acreage.

• On-farm benefits from reduced soil erosion.• Air quality benefits from reduced wind erosion.• Benefits that will likely endure beyond the CRP

contract period.• Cost per acre.Producers with existing CRP contracts that are

expiring in 2012 will have no preferential status forkeeping their land in the CRP this year, and must re-submit a new CRP bid to be re-enrolled in the CRP.

The USDA plans to target themost environmentally sensi-tive land with the 2012 CRPsign-up, in order to reducesoil erosion, protect waterand air quality, and toenhance wildlife protectionand carbon sequestration.

PROGRAMS, from pg. 36ALand that is currently notenrolled in CRP may also beoffered up for enrollment in the CRPfor 2012. The CRP contracts that areaccepted will become effective on Oct.1, with the first CRP payments in Sep-tember 2013.

The USDA continues to work withstate and local FSA offices to adjustannual rental rates for the CRP, basedon current local trends in land rentalrates. The CRP annual rental rates areavailable at county FSA offices. Thecurrent average CRP land rental in theUnited States is $57.29 per acre; how-ever, the CRP rental rates vary widelyfrom state-to-state. Most CRP annualland rental rates in southern Min-nesota and northern Iowa are consider-ably higher than the U.S. average rate.The USDA tries to keep the maximumCRP acreage in any given county at 25percent of the total tillable acres inthat county. However, the USDA doeshave the authority to exceed that limitto meet highly erodible land require-ments, and if there is deemed to be noadverse economicimpacts from theadded CRP acreagein that county.

The USDA recentlyannounced a sepa-rate CRP enrollmentin 2012 of 750,000acres that will targetthe nation’s most highlyerodible crop land, whichhas a soil erodibilityindex of 20 or greater.These acres will beoffered under the contin-uous CRP, and will notbe part of the competi-tive EBI ranking processthat will be utilized forthe 2012 General CRPsign-up. Soil survey andgeographical informationsystem data will be usedto determine eligibilityfor this separate CRPenrollment.

As of Jan. 31, there was a total of justunder 29.7 million acres enrolled in theCRP, which is down from 31.1 millionacres on Sept. 30, 2009, and down 7.1million acres, from 36.8 million acreson Sept. 30, 2007. Currently there areapproximately 24.4 million acres underGeneral CRP contracts, 4.0 millionacres under Continuous CRP contracts,and 1.3 million acres under CREP con-tracts. Sign-up for Continuous CRP ison-going, and will likely continue to be

on-going underthe new farm

bill. ContinuousCRP targets the most sensitive envi-ronmental land areas, such as filterstrips, buffers, wetlands, etc. The CREPis a CRP partnership with state conser-vation programs, which target specificwatersheds.

In 2011, CRP contracts expired on 4.4million acres, but landowners offeredonly 3.75 million acres for enrollmentinto CRP during the General CRP sign-up period. Of that total, the USDAaccepted approximately 2.8 millionacres into the CRP, resulting in a netreduction of about 1.6 million acres.

Strong crop prices and net farmincomes from crop production in 2011,along with increasing cash rental rates,probably discouraged some landownersfrom re-enrolling some crop land intothe CRP in 2011. Continued strongcrop prices and further increases incash rental rates in 2012 are likely toagain affect the number of expiringCRP acres that are offered for re-enrollment during the CRP sign-up

period in 2012.With over 6.5 mil-

lion CRP acres set toexpire in 2012, aCRP enrollment sim-ilar to 2011 wouldreduce the total CRPacreage to under 26million acres by theend of 2012.

There is a lot ofuncertainty regard-ing the level of acresthat will be offeredor accepted for re-enrollment into theCRP during the 2012sign-up period. Mostexperts feel thatthere will not beenough acres offeredin 2012 to keep theCRP enrollment atthe current level ofnear 29.7 acres after

Sept. 30.The current CRP acreage cap is 32

million acres, which was set by the2008 farm bill, which was a reductionfrom the maximum CRP acreage in theUnited States of 39 million acres from2002-08. General CRP contracts areusually 10-year contracts that expireSept. 30 in a given year, while Continu-ous CRP contracts and CREP contractsare usually 10- to 15-year contracts.

Following are the expiring CRP acreson Sept. 30 each year for the next four

years.• 2012: 6.5 million acres • 2013: 3.3 million acres • 2014: 2.0 million acres • 2015: 1.7 million acresAbout 75 percent of the CRP acres in

the United States are in 10 states,which are Texas, Kansas, Montana,North Dakota, Colorado, Iowa, Min-nesota, Washington, Missouri andSouth Dakota. The percentage of CRP

acres expiring in 2012 from these 10states is similar, with North Dakotahaving 838,000 expiring CRP acres,followed by Texas with 828,000 acres.Minnesota has 290,000 CRP acresexpiring in 2012, while Iowa has230,000 acres and South Dakota has225,000 acres expiring.

The future of CRP The CRP is likely to be a key focal point during

the development of the next farm bill in the comingmonths.

In an era when the Congress and the administra-tion are looking to reduce the federal budget deficit,there will be pressure to reduce the current annualexpenditure of just under $2.0 billion on the CRP,including about $1.7 billion on annual rental pay-ments. Keeping CRP acres enrolled in future yearsin Midwestern states, where the average land rentalrates have increased dramatically in recent years,will likely be much more expensive for the USDA.

Others feel we need to reduce CRP acreage in thefuture due to the need for expanded U.S. grain pro-duction to meet the demand for world food needsand renewable energy production in the United

States. On the other hand, the CRPremains extremely popular with

many farm, wildlife and environmen-tal organizations, as well as with members of Con-gress. Most experts expect the maximum size of theCRP to be reduced to around 25 million acres in thenext farm bill, which would be a reduction from thecurrent maximum level of 32 million acres.

The bottom-line is that the CRP has more than 25years of success of protecting sensitive environmen-tal lands, reducing soil erosion, improving waterquality and enhancing wildlife. The CRP is popularwith farmers, the general public and with policymakers, and the CRP will likely continue to be amajor USDA conservation program.

However, economic pressures, the need for renew-able energy and the worldwide need for more foodmay lead to some changes in the future for the CRP,as compared to what the CRP has looked like in thepast two and a half decades.

Minnesota farmers can apply for low-interest loans tohelp them adopt practices that will lead them to a moresustainable system.The Minnesota Department of Agricul-ture’s Sustainable Agriculture Loan Program providesloans for capital purchases to help farmers diversify theiroperations or implement environmentally sound practices.

Individual farmers are eligible to receive up to$40,000 in loans for the purchase of new or usedequipment and/or facilities. For joint projects, eachindividual is eligible for $40,000 with a maximum of$160,000 per project. The interest rate for the loan is3 percent over a five- or seven-year period.

MDA’s Sustainable Ag Loan Program spokesman,Wayne Monsen, said the program has issued morethan $3.6 million in loans to more than 340 Min-nesota farmers since it began in 1989.

Eligible purchases or improvements may include equip-ment needed to transition to or expand organic produc-tion; fencing and water systems for rotational grazing;manure handling; improvements to livestock facilities;hoop buildings or other low-cost livestock facilities;and on-farm value-added processing. A technical review commit-tee evaluates the applications based on their potential toincrease farm profitability and benefit the environment.

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

Not of this worldOne hundred and thirty-years

after the Estherville mete-orite crashed into farm fields nearthis northwest Iowa town, a pieceof the meteorite returned home.

That was in 2009.“We bought a piece of it from an

auction house in Scotland,” saidRenee Stowell, of the EsthervilleChamber of Commerce. “It’s fairlylarge. People can view it in theChamber office.”

The Estherville Chamber paid$11,000 for their piece of themeteorite. Rocks from heavenhave always been valuable. Onereason for that is that many ofthem have previously unknownminerals in them. The Esthervillemeteorite is made up of iron,nickel, phosphorus and sulfur.These are all common minerals.

But, if you visit the lower levelof the Estherville public library,you’ll see the sparkle ofEsthervillite. Under glass, andframed by wood, glitters a crosssection of a piece of the meteorite.Some of that silvery mineralimbedded in that rough-edgedcoal black rock is Esthervillite. Ithad never been seen by sciencebefore it came flaming to groundon May 10, 1879.

Esthervillite is not of thisEarth. Where did that mysterymineral come from? How longhas it been separated from its

mother asteroid before it enteredthe earth’s atmosphere, brokeinto three large boulder sizedpieces, and hit the earth with athump heard for miles around?Where is the mother asteroid?What else is on it that isunknown to us?

Estherville was lucky to get apiece of its meteorite back. Almostas soon as the rocks hit the ground,the scramble to market thisstrange manna began. The mete-orite broke into thousands of tinypieces and three large pieces of431, 151 and 106 pounds. AnEstherville lawyer gained posses-sion of the largest piece and sold itto the British Museum for a grandsum. The British in turn sold partsof it to French and Austrian muse-ums. Other parts of the meteoriteended up in museums across theUnited States, including a museumat the University of Minnesota.None remained in Estherville.

Then, in 1939 the U of Mloaned Estherville the slice that’sin the library.

In 1980, since Estherville didnot own its own piece of themeteorite, the Area Arts Councilcommissioned a sculpture. Theresulting sculpture, by TomGibbs of Dubuque, Iowa, showsthe meteorite fracturing intothose three pieces. The sculptureis in Library Square. ❖
