The prospect of retirement makes thisgrowing season an emotional one for Bob Mehlhouse. Story on 1A

Annual inside this issue!

Peanut butter and jelly. Bacon and eggs.Martin and Lewis. Brooks and Dunn.Smith and Wesson.

Some things are just meant to betogether.

It appears that Congressional legislationwith farm policy and nutrition policy alsoneed to go together.

On July 11, the U.S. House of Represen-tatives broke that decades-old mold andpassed a true farm bill. H.R. 2642, FederalAgriculture Reform and Risk Manage-ment Act of 2013, pretty much followedparty lines — 216 Republicans voted forthe bill, while 196 Democrats votedagainst the bill, as did 12 Republicans. Eleven Con-gressmen did not vote — six Republicans, fiveDemocrats. To see how everybody voted, as if the pre-vious explanation left any questions, log on towww.govtrack.us/congress/votes/113-2013/h353.

It has long beenargued that the so-called farm bill con-tained far more foodthan farm, and it wasmerely a farm bill ingeneric title alone.

Well, July 11 changedall that; finally a farmbill that is just farm.

Apparently thatdoesn’t bode well foradoption. The website,Govtrack.us, gives a 5-percent chance thatthe bill will become lawas it stands on its own.

Compromise will be necessary for the completion ofa farm bill for the next five years; compromise issomething that appears to be foreign to our leadersin Washington, D.C.

“While we don’t yet know what the next steps willbe, we will be working with both sides of the aisleand both chambers of Congress to ensure passage ofa new five-year farm bill,” American Farm BureauFederation President Bob Stallman said in a pressrelease.

Other than language to repeal what’s known as“permanent law,” which triggers farm programs torevert to 1949 price levels if a new farm bill is notpassed, the House measure is similar to the 2013farm bill passed by the Senate in June, according tothe Farm Bureau release.

Both offer a basic, but broad risk man-agement platform supported by all typesof farmers and ranchers in all regions.Provisions included in both bills wouldmake significant changes in how commod-ity programs are structured whilestreamlining other programs, such asthose related to conservation, the FarmBureau release stated.

Many groups opposed splitting the farmbill into two measures, but with dissatis-faction over the Supplemental NutritionAssistance Program in a previously failed

House version of the “farm” bill, manysaw a split as the only way to get a truefarm bill passed. Republicans wanted to

see more than the $20 billion reduction to SNAP inthe legislation, while a lot of Democrats refused tomake any cuts to the program.

“The ‘marriage’ between nutrition and farm billcommunities and ourconstituencies indeveloping andadopting comprehen-sive farm legislationhas been an effective,balanced arrange-ment for decades thathas worked to ensureall Americans and thenation benefits,”Stallman wrote in aJuly 11 letter to theHouse.

For the time being,that marriage hasended in a divorce, orat least a separation.It sounds as though

food and farm will have to get back together to getany legislation passed.

It remains to be seen if the Senate will conferencewith the House on this “farm” bill, without a nutri-tion title.

As I write this, it is reported that the Senate is tak-ing a look at the House’s version of the bill.

The speed of the wheels in D.C. are unpredictable,so by the time you read this we could still be in aholding pattern. Or, all of this could be for naughtand we could have a new farm bill already.

I wouldn’t hold your breath, though.

After a 10-day cooling offperiod known as the Fourthof July recess, House andSenate members came backto steamy, hot Washington,D.C., July 9 to do exactlywhat most Americansexpected them to do: spewmore steamy, hot bilge ateach other.

These folks are, after all,seasoned professionalswhen it comes to contempt.Their default mode is deto-nate, not debate. Theythrow grenades at eachother, not ideas; they break,not build.

As such, Capitol Hill now reigns asthe global capital of crazy and the onlything that runs on any kind of a reli-able schedule there is the crazy train.Everything else — civility, compromise,citizenry — is swallowed whole by thecity’s growing population of puffed-upgasbags, preening show horses andbraying jackasses.

The biggest, most recent victim ofthis baloney-powered approach to gov-erning is, again, the farm bill. The July11 vote by the House to pass its Repub-licans-only, no-food-assistance versionwas a hypocrisy-dripping exercise ofugliness.

As the divisive bill was being written— without one hearing, witness or agcommittee vote — behind closed doorsby a handful of GOP leaders, 532 farmgroups swung into action to publiclynote their displeasure. Their big move?They wrote a letter to Speaker JohnBoehner asking him and his Republi-can buddies not to do it.

Egads! A letter! What’s next, the oldwet noodle smack-down?

House Republicans aredowsing farmers, ranchersand rural America — not tomention 47 million Ameri-cans currently receiving, onaverage, $4.39 per day inSupplemental NutritionAssistance Program benefits— in partisan bile and thebest Big, Small and In-Between Ag can do is send aletter to “urge” the Speakerto stop?

And make no mistake;House Republicans areresponsible for today’s

farm bill mess. MinorityDemocrats in the House couldn’t passthe time of day without Republicanvotes. That’s a fact; that’s reality.

There are more facts that lead to agreater reality.

For example, by tradition, HouseSpeakers rarely vote. Yet on both 2013House farm bill votes, SpeakerBoehner not only voted, he voted yeaeach time — first for the failed, com-prehensive bill brought forward by abipartisan coalition of ag committeemembers and, second, for the built-in-the-dark, GOP-only bill that excludesSNAP but includes more money forfarm programs.

Similarly, 40 of the 62 tea-tingedGOP House members who votedagainst the ag committee’s comprehen-sive, June bill because it was too expen-sive literally turned on their heels andvoted for the no-SNAP, more expensivefarm program bill in July.

Also, after the 216-208 party line voteJuly 11, several House Republicanssaid they voted for the no food aid billso Senate and House ag leaders mightbegin negotiations to marry each cham-

ber’s version before the start of amonth-long August recess.

That explanation quickly turned intoGrade A baloney, however, after it tookHouse leaders more than five days towalk their bill a few hundred feetacross the Rotunda to the Senate.

Moreover, on July 15, a day before theno-SNAP House bill finally arrived,Senate Ag Chair Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., wondered what to do with itwhen it did finally show up. Talking toreporters on a conference call,Stabenow predicted the narrow Housewinner would be a big Senate loser.

“First of all,” related Stabenow, “wecould not pass that (bill) through theSenate, nor would the president signthat kind of bill. It would be a major

mistake on policy, and it would be amajor mistake in getting a bill donebecause it wouldn’t get done.”

Two days later House Ag ChairFrank Lucas was again fumbling for away forward with the mess he helpedcreate by agreeing to the no-SNAPHouse bill. On July 16 he said thejoint Senate-House farm bill confer-ence was on; on July 17 he said itmight not be on.

Which confirms an earlier point: theonly thing on Capitol Hill that runs ontime anymore is the crazy train.

Glennon Doyle Melton writes, “Lifeis equal parts brutal and beautiful.And/Both. Life is brutiful.”

Brutiful. It’s a good word. Sort oflike ginormous (gigantic plus enor-mous), fantabulous (much more fab-ulous than the stripped down word,“fabulous”), and sketchy (somethingor someone that isn’t quite right).

Rhonda, a friend who teaches highschool English, tells me these aren’twords. I ain’t so sure. Whether youagree with the grammar or not, lifeis brutiful.

It’s in the news. The day I pennedthis, the three women who were heldin a Cleveland home for a decadethanked the public via a YouTubevideo for their encouragement andfinancial support. The ordeal wasbrutal — what one victim deemed“hell.” But beautiful was theirescape, reunions with family, andheartfelt thanks to all who reachedout to them with kindness.

The And/Both of brutal and beauti-ful is in the headlines and close tohome. Recently I experienced a week-

end of brutiful family cele-brations. First there waslunch on the lake withaunts and cousins, then areunion potluck with peo-ple who share my blood-line, but I couldn’t begin toidentify them all by name.There was great joy at thetable as we talked life andenjoyed the feast.

The sweet connectionsand laughter were beauti-ful. The brutal is the real-ity that one of our beloved aunts ison hospice, and seeing her pain,pains us all.

Most of the stories that wereshared at the 100-year celebration ofmy Grandpa and Grandma Wubbenand their seven children movingfrom Germany to the United Stateswere beyond my generation, but Ienjoyed them allthe same. WhenGerman wasinterjected intoa tale, my par-ents’ generationlaughed. I wasas clueless thenas I was as akid. MyGrandpa andGrandma typi-cally reservedtheir nativetongue for dis-putes andsecrets,although eventhe youngest inthe room knewhow to translate “dummkopf.”

At the reunion, things went fromlighthearted to heavy when a manfrom my father’s generation askedfor the mic again. The first timearound, he was humorous. His sec-ond time in the spotlight was withhurt. He asked that we pray for hisbrother who suffered from a combo ofchildhood polio/adult Parkinson’s andanother brother with Alzheimer’s.

It was a conversation changer. Wetransitioned from joy to pain, fromfunny to fatal. As my dad stood ourfamily took a collective breath. Hespoke about his oldest sister being onhospice, the need for prayer and theScripture that had brought him com-fort this week: I consider that ourpresent sufferings are not worth

comparing with the glorythat will be revealed in us(Romans 8:18).

His cousins followed upwith stories of their twosisters. One died on theEast Coast, and one on theWest. Although theirearthly homes were at adistance, their heavenlyhomecomings were closeon the calendar and ineach heart. One of thebrothers, the primary

emcee said, “Look around. Ten yearsfrom now, how many of us will stillbe here?”

My mother-in-law said the samequestion was asked at their classreunion. In their 70s, they lookedahead five years to their next gather-ing. Some wondered how manychanges would take place between

now and then.They weremindful not totake life forgranted.

The ultimateAnd/Both ofbrutal andbeautiful isdeath for thosewho die withJesus as theirLord. The bru-tal of the dyingand the good-byes turnsbeautifulbeyond descrip-tion for those

who pass from this life totrue life in the forever presence ofour Heavenly Father. That’s whatmakes Aunt Em’s cancer sentence sobrutiful.

As I cut out of the reunion beforecake and ice cream were served, Isaid goodbye to family, includingAunt Em. She shared her favoriteBible verse and hymn, “In ChristAlone.” Within minutes I learned thehymn is also a favorite of her sister,Aunt Caroline, who shares the samecancer. On the ride home I crankedthat precious song through my Jeep’sspeakers. It was brutiful indeed.

Checking the sale items at alocal nursery last month, Ispied a group of gangly plantswith unusual maroon-coloredleaves.They were labeled“Haight Ashbury” hibiscus.

I piled six of these bargainsin my cart, paid for them andheaded home. I pinched thesehalf-price bargains off to aboutone-third their height andplanted them in the back of anexisting perennial bed. In afew weeks they came to life and grew likeweeds, reaching a spectacular height ofover four feet.

Properly named hibiscus acetosella,“Haight Ashbury” is grown for its foliageand needs to be treated as an annual inour zones. (There are lots of hardy hibis-cus shrubs prized for their flowers butthis one is not winter-hardy here.) Deerresistance and heat tolerance are twomain attributes of this distinctive variety.No doubt it was named Haight Ashbury

because the leaves have ashape similar to the mari-juana plant associated withSan Francisco in the 1960s.

The foliage is simply amaz-ing. The maple-shaped leaveshave color variegations offiery red, pink and maroontones. These plants provide aburst of color rivaling that ofthe Japanese maple. Visitorsto our gardens, withoutexception, wanted more

information about them.This shrub-like annual plant blends

beautifully with most other flowers andcan be used as a single accent plant,massed in a bed or grown in a container.Given the somewhat infamous name asso-ciation, coupled with show-stopping goodlooks, Haight Ashbury hibiscus is a gar-den sensation that will turn heads andbring a smile if you remember the ’60s.Readers ask

Can I still divide my hostas?

Yes, hostas can be divided any time ofthe year and will thrive. Spring and fallare more ideal times to divide most peren-nial plants but hostas are tough. Be sureto water the clump thoroughly beforedividing it and continue to keep the newdivisions well-watered and shaded.

Why are so many of my plants leavesturning brown? I water them regularlywith a sprinkler attached to a hose.

One possible cause is the water is justtoo hot from the hose lying in the sun. It isscalding the plant leaves. On a hot day theinitial water from the hose can get up to100 degrees.Test the water on your handsbefore turning on the sprinkler and let itrun a minute or so until it cools down.

My hanging basket of petuniaslooked so good when I brought ithome but it is scraggly now. What

should I do? Doing three things will help keep

hanging baskets beautiful.• Feed them.They have such a small

amount of growing medium they need fer-tilizer regularly. I feed mine once a week.Some gardeners I know use a diluted, half-strength liquid fertilizer at every watering.

• Water often and thoroughly. Thismight mean twice a day or more ifexposed to full sun.

• Deadhead or prune weekly. Cut offsome of the longer stems every week.This form of regular selective pruningwill help to keep the plant growing vig-orously through the entire season.

‘Haight Ashbury’ hibiscus a garden show-stopper

IN THE GARDEN

By Sharon Quale

Mosquitoes are especially abundant thissummer because of heavy rainfall andincreased moisture in the environment.

University of Minnesota Extension ento-mologist Jeff Hahn explained mosquito lar-vae live in small pools of water. Increases inrainfall lead to more mosquito breedinggrounds. Although rain cannot be con-trolled, there are many steps you can taketo combat mosquitoes.

• Mosquitoes avoid direct sunlight. Theyare more common during early morningand evening as well as cloudy days. Try toavoid these times when possible.

• Draining small child pools, cloggedgutters and other small pools of waterprevents your yard from turning into amosquito breeding ground. “If you havesomething that collects water, dump itor drain it,” Hahn said.

• Put a thin layer of vegetable oil onwater that cannot be drained (like rainbuckets and bird baths) to suffocate the

larvae and stop mosquito breeding. Also,keep weeds and grasses from getting tall.

It is important to protect your skinwhen you are outside.

“Repellent is a good first line ofdefense,” said Hahn, who recommendsusing sprays, such as DEET orpicaridin on your body and clothes.Also, covering your skin with longsleeves and long pants is an effectivemethod of preventing bites.

Alternative and homemade methodsof mosquito prevention are minimallyeffective, if at all, Hahn said. Citronellacandles, ultrasound repellents, orinsect zappers will not reduce theamount of bites you get outside, even ifyou catch a few mosquitoes.

Noodles. Crackers.Mayo. Toaster pastries.Sauerkraut. Ranch dress-ing. Vanilla. Chickennuggets.

What do all these thingshave in common? Youprobably buy them allpremade in packages. Andyou can easily andcheaply make them athome.

Here’s why you should:Homemade food is health-ier for you. It tastes bet-ter. It costs less. It elimi-nates unnecessarypackaging. And it changesthe way you think aboutfood: “After making yourpickles, you will thinkvery differently about all pickles,” writes AlanaChernila, author of “The Homemade Pantry: 101Foods You Can Stop Buying and Start Making”(Clarkson Potter Publishers, 2012).

In other words, when you participate in the pick-ling process, even just once, you’ve expanded yourwhole world an inch or two. You cross over from igno-rance to enlightenment. Keep doing that and yourmind will never grow old.

The next recipe is what “curds and whey” are allabout. Use fresh ricotta in Italian recipes likelasagna, spread it on toast, or just eat it straight likecottage cheese (best drizzled with olive oil). Add theheavy cream if you want the full-fat (full-flavor) ver-sion; skip it if you’re watching calories. There’s also anifty trick for keeping your milk from scalding.Ricotta(Makes about 3/4 pound or 1 1/2 cups)

1/2 gallon whole milk1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (from 1 1/2 to 2 lemons)Optional: 1/2 cup heavy creamOptional: kosher or sea salt to tasteIce a large, heavy pot.* Add the milk and the lemon

juice, and the cream, if using, to the pot. Stir withouttouching the bottom of the pot for five seconds.

Place the pot over low heat and attach a candy orcheese thermometer to the inside of the pot. Heat themilk mixture to 175 F. This should take 40 to 50 min-utes, and you can stir once or twice over the course ofthis time.

Raise the heat to medium high and, without stir-ring, watch the pot until the temperature reaches205 F (three to five minutes). The surface of the milkshould look like it is about to erupt, but it shouldn’tboil. Remove the pot from the heat and let sit for 10minutes. Now you have curds and whey**.

Lay a fine-meshed sieve over a large bowl or jar,and line it with a double layer of damp cheesecloth.Using a large slotted spoon, scoop the curds into thecheesecloth. Let the cheese drain for 10 minutes, and

if you like, sprinkle salt over the top of the curds.Store in covered container in refrigerator three tofive days. Do not freeze.

* Icing your pot: To keep milk from scorching, meltan ice cube in your unheated pot and swirl the coldwater around to coat the bottom. Leave the meltedwater in the pot and add your ingredients. As long asyou don’t touch a metal spoon to the bottom of thepot, your milk will not scorch.

** Whey is that cloudy liquid that separates fromthe curds. It’s nutritious and tasty. Use it instead ofmilk or water in soups, breads, smoothies, etc. Itkeeps for up to two weeks in the fridge and can befrozen up to six months.

Being a mustard lover, I just had to try the follow-ing recipe. It makes a wonderfully spicy and fra-grant blend, and it was little work to prepare. I usedyellow seeds with excellent results, but I’m thinkingnext time I’ll try the brown and get a “rougher” mus-tard. Four out of four “yums” in the Johnson house-hold.Mustard(Makes 1 1/2 cups)

1/2 cup brown or yellow mustard seeds1/3 cup red wine vinegar2 garlic cloves, minced2 teaspoons salt3 tablespoons honey1/4 cup waterPour the mustard seeds into a medium bowl, and

cover with water three inches higher than theseeds. Cover the bowl and let it sit at room temper-ature for 12 hours.

Drain any remaining water from the seeds. Com-bine the soaked mustard seeds with the rest of theingredients in a blender, and blend until smooth.Transfer the mixture to a jar, cover and refrigerate.The mustard will be spicy the first few days, butwill mellow over time. It keeps for two months inthe fridge; do not freeze.

Vanilla extract isn’t exactly cheap inthose teensy grocery store bottles, butyou can make it by the quart for littlemoney using a skid row brand of boozeand some leftover vanilla beans. Plus

you’ll get points for being so sophisti-cated. (“Of course I make my ownvanilla, darling, doesn’t everybody?”)Vanilla Extract

Cheap vodka, enough to fill your jaror bottle

Spent vanilla beans, at least 3Fill a mason jar or bottle with vodka.

After you use the seeds of a vanillabean in a recipe, rinse off the vanillabean and put it in the vodka. You’llneed at least three vanilla beans inthere for at least three weeks to get agood extract going, but it’s fine to usemore beans, too. Your extract is readywhen it is a lovely brown color and itsmells like vanilla.

Either pour the extract into a newbottle and start over, or keep topping

off the working bottle with vodka andkeep shoving more vanilla beans intothe bottle. As long as you don’t let itget too empty, you can keep using theextract indefinitely even as you con-tinue to top it off. Store at room tem-perature; do not freeze.

The Minnesota Historical Society ispleased to offer additional hours at his-toric sites and museums, and increasedhours and improved service at the GaleFamily Library

After a number of years of flat ordeclining budgets, the Minnesota Leg-islature has increased funding for theMinnesota Historical Society’s operat-ing budget, which supports the Min-nesota History Center and Gale FamilyLibrary, 26 historic sites and museums,care of collections and general opera-tions, educational outreach and otheractivities.

As a result, the Society is improvingaccess to historic resources by addinghours at six historic sites around thestate beginning July 1, and new andexpanded services at the Gale FamilyLibrary at the Minnesota History Cen-ter, beginning this fall.

“The new state budget affirms thathistory matters to Minnesotans,” saidSteve Elliott, director and CEO.“Expanding our open hours at six his-toric sites and improving researchservices at our library at the HistoryCenter will enable more Minnesotansto explore history firsthand — whetherup north in Grand Rapids at the ForestHistory Center or on the southern Min-nesota prairies at Jeffers Petroglyphsor at the History Center in St. Paul.”

The new hours will affect Jeffers Pet-roglyphs Historic Site, HistoricForestville, Forest History Center,North West Co. Fur Post, Charles A.Lindbergh Historic Site and the OliverH. Kelley Farm. The funds will providefor additional Saturday hours in thespring and fall for the sites, the addi-

tion of Wednesday hours at Jeffers Pet-roglyphs Historic Site during the sum-mer, and additional days during theholiday season at the Forest HistoryCenter.

The Gale Family Library will alsoincrease hours and offer improvedservice. Following a survey ofresearchers and other library patrons,the library will expand hours on Tues-day mornings creating a longer day forusers, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. The library willalso be implementing new ways toincrease access to collections and pro-vide expanded reference services tobetter meet the needs of patronsthroughout Minnesota. The changeswill take effect this fall after staff andnew technologies are put into place.

The Gale Family Library is locatedinside the History Center at 345 Kel-logg Blvd. W. in St. Paul. Auxiliary aidsand services are available with noticeof five working days, call (651) 259-3300.

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

It was 10:30 a.m., July 3 andBob Mehlhouse was about tostart planting soybeans.

Sure, a bit late according tothe calendar, but not forMehlhouse because he wasdouble cropping after peas.This Renville County(Minn.) farmer has been a double-cropping advocatefor 20 years so this was not the challenge of newstrategies, new decisions or even new technologies.

But Mehlhouse was in a pensive mood this bright,beautiful morning.

Why? Because after 45 years of farming, this 70-acre field

was likely the last field this 70-year-old farmer will everplant. He’s hanging it up, so to speak. As he got ready tocrank up his 16-row planter you could almost sense hisreluctance in admitting this could be his last go-around.Which makes you wonder if retiring farmers acrossAmerica invariably hesitate about that final step intothe “no-longer-farming” category.

He admitted, “I’ve been thinking about retirement forsome time now. Most of my friends jokingly — I think —tell me I won’t be able to tell the difference. But thestress of farming gets to you as you get older. Plus I’vehad some health issues with my hips and shoulder.

“Even though technologies and modern equipment hasmade farming less physically demanding, the mentalchallenges are much more significant. Farming truly hasbecome a ‘high-tech’ industry. Decisions on seed, fertilizer,herbicide and fungicides, plus tillage and GPS technolo-gies have drastically changed the rules of farming.”

He readily admits his 17-year-old son Jacob is nowthe “technology hub” of Mehlhouse Farms.

A University of Minnesota graduate in1966, Mehlhouse hitched on with the old Tro-jan Seed Co. after college. But his father’shealth faltered in 1968 which opened the doorfor Bob to step into a full-time farming voca-tion which included cattle feeding.

With some hired help, this father-son teamgrew their crop farming into a 1,500-acre oper-ation plus a feedlot finishing about 350-headof Dakota-reared steers each year.

Mehlhouse has throttled down to about 900 acreswhich includes some ground rented to a neighboringsugar beet grower. Mycogen Seeds of Olivia, Minn.,also grows seed corn on about 140 acres of his land.

“My son now does virtually all the tillage and landprep work,” he said. “Today he’ll even be running theplanter on this last field of soybeans. He’s ready. He’sa good machinery guy and enjoys setting up ourfields for GPS technology. I’m proud of him. He’smiles ahead of me in technology. Will he eventuallybe a full-time farmer? That’s his ambitions today, butafter college who knows.”

An early RM02 soybean seed crop for RemingtonSeeds, also of Olivia, was going in the ground July 3.From experience, Mehlhouse said he needs a frost-free September and ideally two weeks of the same inearly October. He’s planted as late as July 16 andhe’s had some failures — that year’s efforts, forexample, resulted in just a two-bushel crop.

His yield data shows double-cropping after peashas been a profitable venture about 80 percent of the

time. Thanks to this year’s cool, wet spring Senecaharvested a 3,500-pound pea crop three days earlieron June 30.

His best soybean yields in double-cropping? He’sdone 40 bushels. Last year he had one field doing 26bushels; his second field needed more prep work sowas planted two weeks later and did only 12bushels.

What’s ahead for Mehlhouse? “Well, I could be thebest gopher-guy at the Round Table at the ChatterBox,” he said, referring to a regular morning coffeeshop in Olivia, “and we’ve already got some goodones as you can tell from the chatter each morning.Getting everything ready to plant anymore is a big-ger challenge than the actual planting.

“But agriculture is in my veins forever. It’s atremendous industry. I’ve enjoyed being a player inthis great game of farming. Some big financial chal-lenges ahead because of the tremendous capitalinputs of farming today, but the world populationkeeps growing, and people keep eating, so farmingwill always be the key player in this entire worldeconomy.”

He’s enjoyed farming and thinks it was a greatcareer choice. “You meet a lot of great people in thisbusiness. I’ve been on various boards and did someoverseas travels. Now it’s fun to see the young peo-ple take hold with new, adventurous ideas,”Mehlhouse said.

Will he or won’t he plant another crop next spring? “Iguess we’ll wait and see,” Mehlhouse said. ❖

Some large muskies callnorthern Iowa’s Clear Lakehome, so it’s always possiblethat finned lightning mightstrike an unsuspecting angler.

But since most anglers thereare targeting walleyes or yel-low bass with light line and noleaders, those encounters usu-ally are brief, ending with bite-offs when the sharp-toothedpredators inhale a bait.

But lightning like that doesn’t strikevery often, so after about the third orfourth time I and my brothers, Dan andRick, lost tackle while fishing thererecently, we began to wonder whatexactly was going on.

That question wasanswered when I reeledin one time to check mybait. Dangling from thehook was a cluster of fin-gernail-sized zebra mus-sels I somehow hadhooked and dislodgedfrom the submerged rockpile we were fishing.

Closer inspectionrevealed the cluster ofa half-dozen adultzebra mussels tightlybound together hadrazor-sharp edges. Rather than bite-offs, the Lindy-style sinkers we wereusing would lodge in the zebra mussel-encrusted rocks where the tight linewas easily cut by the sharp edges.

The popular boating and fishing des-tination seven miles west of MasonCity was discovered to have an infesta-tion of zebra mussels eight years ago.

We have fished the lake regularlysince then and except for the colonies

of zebra mussels visible ondock pilings, boat lifts, theartificial weed bed filamentsconstructed of heavymonofilament we wouldoccasionally snag, we hadn’tnoticed much of an impact.

Fishing remained — andremains — pretty good.

But evidently, the zebramussels now have reachedsufficient numbers now to

cover the rock piles we fished, easilyslicing through any monofilamentdragged across them.

In an effort to stem the furtherspread of zebra mussels, which also

have been detected inthe Iowa Great Lakes,laws that went intoeffect on July 1, thatlargely mirror Min-nesota’s efforts to slowthe spread of aquaticinvasive species — thedraining of live wells,removing drain plugsand bait disposal.

A pessimistic view ofsuch efforts is that thebattle already is lost.

A more optimistic takeis that such measures

can slow the spread of them, perhapsuntil some kind of effectivecontrol/eradication techniques aredevised. Two things are certain: Thebattle won’t end any time soon and anysuccess in stemming the tide will con-tinue to depend on the diligence ofboaters and anglers to do their part.

To that effect, the Minnesota Depart-ment of Natural Resources has rampedup education and enforcement efforts over

the last two years. By now, we all ought toknow to remove the drain-plug, drain livewells, not to transport minnows in lakewater and to clean off any clinging vegeta-tion from boat, motor and trailer.

Conservation officers no longer offerany forgiveness to those who don’t.Careless or forgetful boaters can beassured of receiving citations.

Boaters will have additionalreminders to practice due diligence incoming weeks when the DNR installs“clean-and-drain” areas at public lakeaccess sites around the state.

The areas will be convenient loca-tions at access sites where boaters willbe able to pull off and away from othertraffic to clean and drain their boats.

The plan is to have them in place atmore than 200 public access sitesaround the state.

Craig Beckman, DNR regional parksand trails supervisor at New Ulm,Minn., said area boaters can expect tosee the areas on several local lakes inthe coming weeks.

“We’re in the process of evaluating

what kind of lakes they will beinstalled at,” he said. “It will be basedon lakes with current invasive infesta-tions and the amount of boat traffic.”

Besides an area apart from access traf-fic, the clean-and-drain areas will includecompost bins in which anglers will be ableto discard unwanted minnows, leechesand other baits, along with any vegetationthey remove from their boats.

Historically, public lake access siteshave not been equipped with receptaclessince people other than boaters fre-quently are inclined to use them as per-sonal trash disposal facilities, he said.

The bottom line is that while revers-ing or halting the spread of aquaticinvasive species may not be possible,conscientious efforts by boaters can atleast slow it down.

And perhaps buy some time untilpermanent solutions are found.

The BrandtsAda, Minn.

Attention MotherNature: DannyBrandt wants you toknow that it “would-n’t hurt my feelingsto pick up an easyinch (of rain).”

But please make it easy.

The Land spoke to Brandt on July8 and it had been three weeks sincethe farm had received measurablerainfall. While rain would be wel-comed the “temperatures have beenpushing everything right along.”

Brandt is working on sprayingbeans for the second time and isdone spraying corn. The corn in oneof Brandt’s fields was over his head.The heat that is helping to make thecorn is making work in the shop a bitmore of a challenge. Brandt canwork in the shop until noon whenthe heat and dead air become morethan uncomfortable. Then it’s time tofind some outside work in the breeze.It’s “pretty sticky out,” Brandt said.

The next group of sows came to thefarm, each of the three with nice lit-ter sizes. “It’s been an interestingtime keeping the pigs cool,” Brandtsaid. He is currently using a sprayerand keeping them well-hydrated.This method has kept the sows andpiglets happy and cooler.

Brandt is “enjoying a little lullbefore harvest.” Next on his to-do listis that he had “better go look at thefall tillage equipment soon. ... Got tomake sure the tires can hold air,”Brandt said.

Harvest preparations can wait asthunderstorms are in the forecast forthe Brandt farm. With a little luck,maybe Mother Nature will giveBrandt an easy inch.

The JohnsonsStarbuck, Minn.

The planting/replanting season isofficially over forScott Johnson.

These spring activities aren’t some-thing Johnson ordinarily would beworking on in July, but this growingseason has been anything but ordi-nary.

When The Land spoke to Johnsonon July 8 he said that five days ear-lier “we replanted some soybeans,”though he wasn’t sure that theywould be able to get a crop out of thatreplant.

With getting over nine inches ofrain in three days a few weeks ago,Johnson believes that while the rainwas overwhelming in terms of sheeramount, not much actually soaked inthe ground.

The ground is already getting dryagain and a little gentle precipitationwould be welcome on the Johnsonfarm. Even with some moistureneeded, Johnson feels that “the cropdoes look a little bit better.” The once-yellow corn is getting greener andcatching up, Johnson said. The earliercorn (from May) is chest high.

Johnson is done spraying corn andwill be spraying beans this week.

Things are starting to “slow down”on the farm. “Unless we get niceweather in September, we are goingto have a later harvest,” Johnsonsaid. Even with the possibility of alate harvest, Johnson is beginning tolook toward the fall, “whenever weget time we’ll start harvest prep,”Johnson said.

Johnson needs to look no furtherthan his lawn to tell how the corncrop is doing as he believes that “mygrass is a good indication of the corncrop.” Here’s hoping for a lush lawn atthe Johnson residence.

The MessnersNorthfield, Minn.

Corn is growing inthe Northfield area,and growing quickly.Chris Messner hasseen corn tippingdue to some strongwinds in the area.

Rapid above-ground growth has leftthe corn plants susceptible to thehigh winds until the roots catch upand anchor down the plants. TheLand spoke to Messner on July 9 andhe said that the area hasn’t “had adecent rain in 10 days.”

The corn on the Messner farm iseverywhere from waist high to shoul-der high. In two weeks Messnerhopes corn will be tasseling. The corn“definitely made up a little ground,”Messner said. “Beans are coming, butstill short.”

The crops are still three weeksbehind, but Messner feels that “youcan get a lot of make-up time in thesummer.”

Messner has gotten everythingsprayed for the first time. He maystill spray the corn with fungicide

after the corn tassels. At the farm heis “getting caught up on everything,putting spring to rest.”

With a good forecast of tempera-tures in the 80s, including both sun-shine and rain, Messner is enjoyingthe weather and so are the crops.

For the most part the crops at theMessner farm are looking good,though “the end of the season willcome too soon.” But it’s “now gettingto that sit-and-watch part of the sea-son,” Messner said.

The LaubenthalsSwea City, Iowa

Charlie Lauben-thal has been enjoy-ing the “niceweather” but not hisview of the crops —they’re “nothing tolook at.” When The Land spoke toLaubenthal on July 8 he said there is“corn of every height” in his fields.

The corn is also experiencing nitro-gen loss due to the excess moisture.This is the “most bizarre year I haveever seen,” Laubenthal said.

Due to the replanting there hasbeen “plenty of work to do,” he said.“Seems like you’re doing everythingtwice this year.” Laubenthal knowsfarmers who have replanted twotimes in the same field this year.

Though many have just completedfinal replants, Laubenthal believes thatarea farmers are aware of what kind ofyields they can expect when harvestarrives, “everybody realizes what theyhave.” The weather as of late has been“decent” though there still remainssome standing water in some fields.

Laubenthal will plant seed oats inthe next week and finally put theplanter away for the year. As he fin-ishes the planting, he’ll start workingon machinery needed for harvestalong with finishing washing fieldcultivators and sprayers.

Looking toward harvest “we don’tneed an early frost,” Laubenthal said.With hope of a late frost and goodweather it’s still hard not to be dis-couraged as Laubenthal estimatesthat the majority of farmers in thearea would say this is the worst cropthey have ever seen. ❖

Grain AnglesWatch equipment

investmentsHave recent investments in your grain operation

made your business lop-sided? At times, it can be difficult to look at your opera-

tion objectively, but taking a look at all of the num-bers related to recent investments is vital in order toget a better idea of how youroperation is really sitting.

Recently, many grain farmershave invested large amounts ofmoney in updating equipmentand grain handling systems. Inthe past few years, it was com-mon for me to see that producershad an investment of $350 to$550 per acre in total machineryvalue on their farm.

I am seeing a larger number ofproducers recently with theequipment investment per acreratio significantly above the rec-ommended level of $500 per crop acre. The availabil-ity of cash, low interest rates, higher equipmentprices and tax considerations have made it easy foreven the most careful of producers to exceed thisguidance.

There are a few things you can do to bring this leveldown to a more sustainable range.

• Owning your own grain storage. There are manypractical reasons to have grain storage on your farm,but make sure it’s at least as cost effective as com-mercial alternatives. Including the handling charges,a producer might expect to pay 30 cents per bushelfor the storage in that year at a commercial facility.

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing July 19.

CORN — Weather once more dictated the action innew crop corn this week, as typically is the case thistime of year.

Forecasts are a moving target,but the areas to watch are cen-tered in the western Corn Belt,particularly Iowa at this time.The Des Moines airport is report-ing this July is so far the driestsince 1975.

Corn pollination is movingnorth, with most areas of thecountry expecting to see tasselsin the next week, with pollinationin full swing in two weeks. Cropconditions fell 2 percent to 66 per-cent good/excellent as of July 14and another decline is antici-pated for the July 21 report.

December corn closed lower just twice this week,but the losses outweighed the daily gains. Decembercorn closed at $5 3/4 per bushel, down 8 1/2 cents forthe week. The September contract was much moreindecisive as it waffled back and forth daily. Theinverse between the September and December con-tracts soared upward as old crop corn needs to beenticed out of growers’ hands and into the pipeline.

There doesn’t seem to be much consensus on whatthe number has to be for growers to part with theirremaining old crop bushels. September corn was onlydown 1 1/2 cents this week, closing at $5.44 perbushel. Basis levels improved to help encourage thatmovement, but mostly to no avail. As long as ethanol

Livestock AnglesLivestock looking

for directionIt almost appears that the livestock markets have

been on hold since the first of July.Obviously this will likely end up being a short-term

phenomenon and both the cattle and hog marketswill find direction and begin to move once again.

The cattle market has found arather-tight trading range inrecent weeks. There has also beena big change in the basis betweencash and futures. There is now apremium of futures over cashwhich has not been seen formonths. The cash sales have beenstruggling to stay near steady,but have actually declined inprice ever so slightly during thepast few weeks.

Cattle numbers are expected toincrease over the near term sincemost cattle being placed are heav-ier than normal going into the feedlots. The beefcutouts have been under pressure as of late withprices basis choice slipping to near $190 per hun-dredweight basis choice. The boxed beef movementcontinues to be slow and this continues to indicateweak demand for beef.

So couple the increasing supply of market-readycattle along with weak demand for beef and the out-look for prices appears to be on the soft side for cattlethrough the summer months. Producers should keepaware of the market conditions and use premiums totheir advantage to protect their inventories throughthe next several months.

The hog market has begun to falter above the$100/cwt. level after a good rally over the past sev-

NYSTROM, from pg. 15Amargins are attractive andselling is tight, basis shouldhold.

The United States missed out onnew crop export sales again this weekas South Korea sourced corn for Sep-tember and December from SouthAfrica and the Black Sea respectively.Reportedly, Black Sea corn for Decem-ber was 60 to 70 cents per bushelcheaper than U.S. corn. Weekly exportsales of 6 million bushels for old cropwere good, while 62.6 million bushelsfor new crop were excellent.

The new crop sales however wereexpected with last week’s sale toChina already accounted for.Argentina’s ag ministry revised theircorn crop estimate significantlyhigher to 32.1 million metric tonsfrom 26.1 mmt and compared to theU.S. Department of Agriculture’s 26.5mmt forecast. They cited an increasein planted acreage of 22 percent toaccount for the new estimate. If true,this makes for tougher export compe-tition for the United States; but manyeyebrows have been raised in ques-

tioning the newnumber.Weekly ethanol

production dropped 5,000 barrels to876,000 barrels, but is still 9 percenthigher than last year. Ethanol invento-ries were up 36 million gallons for theweek at 696 million gallons.

A report out of North Dakota’s FarmService Agency this week indicatedthat 4.4 million acres had beenenrolled in the prevented plant insur-ance program, with most of the acrescentered in the northern half of thestate.

OUTLOOK: Weather is king andnothing is in the works to dethrone it.This isn’t much different in thatregard than most other years. Pricedirection will ebb and tide with the lat-est, greatest forecasts. Until we arefurther along with pollination, the$4.90 support should hold on thedownside and $5.30 on the upside.

Last year December corn peaked inthe throes of a drought on Aug. 10, in2011 the summer rally didn’t end untilthe end of August. Funds reduced theirnet short corn position in corn by

110,000 contracts as of July 16 asreported on the commitment of tradersreport. The history and fund actionadds to the uncertainty of direction.

SOYBEANS — November soybeanstrended higher for the week, but werechoppy during the week.

November soybeans rose just 16 3/4cents for the week to settle at $12.74per bushel. A feature to this week’strading was the exploding August-November inverse. It traded as wide as$2.18 3/4 premium August. Basis lev-els fell as the board climbed. Mealinverses also stretched wider thisweek to as wide as $60 in the August-September and $95 August-October.

August soybean futures jumped 613/4 cents higher this week, closing at$14.90 3/4 per bushel. Fund length insoybeans continues to rise, up another8,000 contracts on the commitment oftraders’ report as of July 16.

Meal shipments on this week’sexport report were huge at 215,500 mt,which is a little unusual for this timeof year. This punctuated the sharpprice gains in nearby meal and soy-beans. New meal sales at 41,600 mtwere also high enough for traders tobelieve the USDA’s forecast is 200,000to 300,000 mt too low.

Soybean sales were 4.1 millionbushels for old crop and 21.7 millionbushels for new crop. The USDA alsoannounced a 165,000 mt new cropbean sale to China in their dailyreporting. There have been rumors ofArgentina meal making its way to theUnited States.

While economically it penciled thisweek, the timing and logistics makethis a remote alternative and no boatsare in the lineup bound for the UnitedStates. The June National OilseedProcessors Association crush this week

was announced at 119 million bushels,anywhere from 2 million to 4 millionbushels higher than projections. Thispace suggests that the yearly crushestimate may be 20 million to 25 mil-lion bushels too low based on theUSDA’s current 1.660 billion bushelforecast.

OUTLOOK: Soybean conditions fell2 percent last week to 65 percentgood/excellent and are expected to fallanother 1 to 2 percent as of July 21.

This keeps weather in the spotlightfor new crop direction. Old crop pricedirection is dependent on demand, andcrush margins are excellent. Novem-ber beans are a $12.25 to $13.25 mar-ket, all dependent on weather and howmuch support they garner from oldcrop tightness.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes forthe week ending July 19: Minneapoliswheat dropped 16 cents, Chicago fell 161/2 cents and Kansas City was onlydown 3 1/4 cents. Energies continuedtheir upswing with August crude oil up$2.10 at $108.05, ultra-low-sulfurdiesel up 6 cents, gasoline 1/2 centhigher and natural gas up 14 1/2cents. West Texas Intermediate crudeoil traded higher than nearby Brentcrude oil briefly and for the first timesince August 2010. For the week, theDollar Index was down 0.306 percentlate in the day July 19 and the Dowwas 136 points higher.

MARKETINGSoybeans trended higher, but were choppy along the way

TEALE, from pg. 15Aeral months. Good demand for porkwas the catalyst behind the recentstrength. However, as the pork cutoutadvanced over the $100/cwt. area,resistance to the higher prices began tosurface.

The result has been that packershave become a little more selective inthe bidding for live inventory and thuscash prices have slipped in recent days.This is creating the same fate as othermarkets for the hog market — thathigh prices are the cure for high prices.From a seasonal standpoint, it would

appear that our typical summer high isin the process of being built at thistime. This would normally result in hogprices declining into the fall beforefinding a bottom.

With economic conditions still weakand domestic disposable incomeshrinking, further growth in demandfor pork seems unlikely at these cur-rent price levels. The futures market isanticipating this change in directionand remains at a discount to cash in allcontracts, both nearby and deferred.Therefore, producers need to be pru-dent about market conditions and pro-tect their inventories where needed. ❖

Pork growth seems unlikely

WACHTLER, from pg. 15Afarm storage amortizes out to beroughly the same as commercial stor-age. Compare your return on storageover the past three to five years to the30 cents per bushel to make sure youcapture the basis improvement andfutures carry in the market to pay forthe storage.

• Invest in non-tangible assets. Con-sider your farm’s need for transitionand legal planning and accountingsystems. Have the investments inthese areas been proportionate to thetangible assets on your balance sheet?Ill-fated transition and legal plansgenerally are not a problem on thefarm until they become a large poten-tial problem for either you or your suc-cessors.

It may take several years to prop-erly position these plans and startingearlier will make the process easier.Investing in a meaningful amount oflife insurance should be part of almostevery farm. A good accounting systemwill let you have clarity when makingthe decisions on the farm. The benefitsof a quality accounting system includemaking growth of your business eas-ier to plan for and also add trans-parency for your bankers, partnersand successors.

• Finally, think safety. If you knowthere are areas on your farm wherepotential problems could occur, invest-ing in improving the safety of thoseareas will be money well spent if itsaves you or someone on your farmfrom injury or death.

Now is the time to start looking atother areas of your business. Makesure your farm has enough workingcapital for a rainy day. Plan to achievea healthy $300 per acre of cash, graininventory, prepaid expenses andaccounts receivable after all of yourcurrent liabilities are subtracted. Cur-rent liabilities can be payables, operat-ing loans and yearly payments. Look atbuilding your working capital to thislevel as an investment in your farm.Once you think objectively about all ofthese areas of your business, and actaccordingly, your grain operation willbe more well-rounded and well-posi-tioned for whatever the future maybring.

On July 11, the U.S. Houseof Representatives passed anew farm bill (HR-262) by amargin of 216-208, with allvoting Democratic HouseMembers and 12 RepublicanHouse members opposingthe legislation.

Last month, the U.S.House voted down anotherversion of the new farm billby a vote of 195-234. Theprevious version of the legis-lation had been passedby the U.S. House agri-culture committee, andwas supported by awide-range of farm organizations.

The so called “farm-only” version ofthe farm bill that was passed by theU.S. House proposes a big shift in farmbill policy, as it would eliminate theNutrition Title of the new farm bill,which funds food and nutrition pro-grams, specifically the SupplementalNutrition Assistance Program. The pro-posed House farm bill would also elimi-nate the permanent farm law of 1949and 1938, which is currently in place ifCongress does not act on a new farmbill, once the legislation for a currentfarm bill expires.

The proposed legislation would saveapproximately $19 billion on farm com-modity programs over the next 10years by eliminating direct paymentsand making other adjustments; how-ever, about $8.9 billion would be addedby the initiation of a new StackedIncome Protection Plan, or STAX, pro-gram for cotton and other crop insur-ance enhancements. Most other com-modity provisions in the House farmbill are similar the version of the farmbill that was defeated last month.

The U.S. Senate passed their versionof the new farm bill in mid-June by awide margin, with strong bipartisansupport. The Senate version of thefarm bill includes a Nutrition Title,which maintains future funding forSNAP, and also continues the 1949 and1938 permanent farm law. The Senateversion of the farm bill also has someother differences in dairy and cropinsurance policy from the House farmbill that was just passed.

The 2008 farm bill, which expired in2012, was extended earlier this year forone more year through Sept. 30.

The elimination of the Nutrition Titleand the SNAP in the House version of

the new farm bill is likely toresult in some interestingpolitical dynamics, if andwhen a Senate and HouseConference Committee isnamed and meets. It is notknown at this time if theU.S. House will now passseparate legislation to dealwith the SNAPs that are inthe current farm bill, andwhether or not that legisla-tion will get rolled into the

Conference Committee,or get considered sepa-rately.Regardless how these

dynamics play out in Conference Com-mittee, it will be challenging to get afinal version of a new farm bill that cangarner enough votes for support byboth the full U.S. Senate and the U.S.House. Once passed, the new farm billstill needs to be signed into law byPresident Obama.

Food stamps were added to the farmbill legislation 40 years ago in 1973,mainly because the food stamp pro-gram was considered part of the U.S.food security program, and food stampsare administered through the U.S.Department of Agriculture. Nearly 80percent of the proposed funding for theU.S. Senate version of the new farm billwill go to the SNAP, which includes thefood stamp program, the women,infants and children program, and theschool lunch program. The needs inSNAP have more than doubled since2008, due to the economic downturn inthe United States, higher food costsand an easing in eligibility require-ments for food stamps.

The new farm bill passed by the U.S.Senate would cut the spending onSNAP by about $4 billion over the next10 years, while SNAP funding wouldhave been cut by about $20 billion over10 years in the previous U.S. Housefarm bill that failed. Most of theSNAPs are governed by continuing leg-islation, so the SNAPs would continuewith few spending reductions, if theseprograms are not in the farm bill andthere is no new legislation passed byCongress.

The version of the new farm billpassed by the U.S. House proposes toreplace the current 1949 and 1938 per-manent farm law with a new Title I inthe farm bill. This new Title I would

PROGRAMS, from pg. 17Aprovide for continuing farmcommodity programs, in theevent that a new farm bill was not enacted by theexpiration date of the previous farm bill.

Many farm organizations feel that this will makeit much easier for Congress to totally eliminatefarm supports and “safety nets” in the future. Con-servation programs, rural development, trade pro-grams and other USDA programs would not be partof the proposed Title I in the House farm bill; how-ever, most of these programs are also not covered bythe current permanent farm law.Key questions remain in the political processfor a new farm bill

• Will the U.S. House now pass additional legisla-tion dealing with the Nutrition Title (SNAP) in thecurrent farm bill, which are included in the Senateversion of the farm bill?

• Will the U.S Senate be willing to go to Confer-ence Committee with the U.S. House on a new farmbill that does not include a Nutrition Title?

• Will removal of the 1949 and 1938 PermanentFarm Law, which is in the House farm bill, but notin the Senate farm bill, end up in the ConferenceCommittee farm bill?

• Will the Conference Committee be able toresolve differences on dairy policy, crop insuranceeligibility and other differences in the Senate andHouse versions of the new farm bill?

• If the Conference Committee were toreach agreement on either the Senate ver-

sion of the new farm bill, or the so-called“farm only” House farm bill, will there be enoughsupport in both the U.S. Senate and U.S. House togive final passage to a new farm bill?

• If the Conference Committee farm bill is passedby the U.S. Senate and U.S. House, will PresidentObama sign the new farm bill into law?

• If the Conference Committee cannot reach agree-ment on a new farm bill later this year, will the 2008farm bill be extended for yet another year through2014?Farm bill and ag policy at Farmfest forums

MIELKE, from pg. 20Akets related to weather and other fac-tors the second week of July, accordingto the DMN.

Hot weather across much of the west was causing con-cern over cream supplies and was making it difficult tomove it long distances. Central butter productionremains strong but “the rate of growth has slowed as icecream manufacturing is increasingly siphoning creamfrom the churns, according to the DMN.

Northeast cream cheese manufacturers are alreadydrawing cream to produce for fall orders and icecream manufacturers have increased cream interestas hotter weather has arrived. These factors leavebutter production down.

FAS reports exports of butter and milkfat for Janu-ary to May totaled 56.1 million pounds, down 2 per-cent or 0.9 million pounds from a year ago. Butterand milkfat exports accounted for 6.4 percent of totalU.S. butter production for the year.

■

The trade-weighted index of prices on the July 16GlobalDairyTrade jumped 4.9 percent, according toFC Stone’s eDairy Insider Closing Bell.

Whole milk powder led the gains, up an average 7.7 per-cent, including a 12.5 percent jump for September contractprices. Butter milk powder prices gained an average 4.8percent, including a 5.2 percent increase for September;anhydrous milk fat was up 3.6 percent; skim milk powderclimbed 3.3 percent; and cheddar added 2.1 percent. Onthe down side, average prices for rennet casein fell 5 per-cent and butter lost 0.3 percent.

GDT prices are over $2/lb. for cheese and skimmilk powder is making domestic end-users nervous,according to FC Stone Risk Management consultantRon O’Brien. “Inventory of cheese coming to theChicago Mercantile Exchange spot market is proba-bly not as available as it had been,” he said. “And, themarket gets to a point where shorts run out ofammunition. ... Hot weather also adds support.”

■

Meanwhile, May fluid milk sales were estimated at4.3 billion pounds, according to the USDA’s latestdata, down 1.2 percent from May 2012.

Conventional milk products wereoff 1.6 while organic sales were up 8percent from a year earlier.

Checking the milk supply; California output stabilizedthe week of July 8 as temperatures were more moderate,according to the USDA’s weekly update. Processingplants saw milk intakes down 8 to 15 percent during theheight of the heat wave.Arizona milk continues todecline as a direct result of the hot weather and theduration of the weather cycle.The forecast of increasinghumidity and the resulting “monsoon season” will likelyforeshadow additional milk declines.

Milk production in the Pacific Northwest hasimproved as cooler nighttime weather helped relieveheat stress on cows although some of that heatreturned the following week. Overall milk receiptsare off as cows slowly recover.

Idaho and Utah production was also lower from thehot weather though some recovery was being notedas the extreme weather abated.

Anecdotal reports from Central region milkhaulers indicate farm milk loads are decreasing involume as summer advances. Components in themilk are also dropping in step with the arrival of ris-ing daytime temperatures and humidity.

■

Pricewise, the August federal order Class I basemilk price was announced by the USDA this week at$18.88 per hundredweight, down 3 cents from July,but $2.33 above August 2012, and equates to about$1.62 per gallon.

The 2013 Class I average now stands at $18.39, upfrom $16.36 at this time a year ago and compares to$18.91 in 2011 and $14.74 in 2010.

The AMS-survey butter price used in calculatingthe base price averaged $1.4902/lb., down 6.9 centsfrom July. Nonfat dry milk averaged $1.7131, up 3.1

cents. Cheese averaged $1.7201, down 6.1 cents, anddry whey averaged 57.69 cents, up 0.6 cent.

■Looking “back to the futures,” second half federal

order 2013 Class III contracts portended an$18.48/cwt. average on June 14. That figure slippedto $18.34 June 21, $17.87 on June 28, $18.02 onJuly 5, $17.91 on July 12, and was trading around$18.29 late-morning July 19.

■Feed prices were projected to be lower next year in

this week’s Livestock, Dairy and Poultry Outlook butit warned that producers are likely to respondslowly as milk prices remain flat to down. Largestocks of cheese and butter will dampen prices.

Nonfat dry milk stocks are high as well, but the USDAsays strong exports will strengthen prices somewhat.

Corn prices for the 2012-13 year were unchangedin July at $6.75 to $7.15 per bushel. For the 2013-14year, corn prices were also unchanged from lastmonth at $4.40 to $5.20/bu.

The production forecast for the 2013 corn crop was low-ered based on lower expected harvested acreage.However,slightly higher imports and reduced feed and residual usemaintained prices.The soybean meal price forecastremained at $290 to $330 per ton where it was in June.

According to the most recent Agricultural Pricesreport, preliminary June alfalfa prices were$220/ton, fractionally lower than May but 10 per-cent above the June 2012 price.

“What a good life I have. I am a crop farmer and I makewhiskey.”

That’s Greg Farber (far left in photo) of Osakis, Minn., talking. Hefarms a bit north of town and makes whiskey at the 2-year-old PantherDistillery on the town’s edge.

Farber is part of a team of dis-tillers and distillery workers thatincludes Master Distiller BrettGrinager and owner Adrian Pan-ther (far right). Their first prod-uct, which was released thisspring, is White Water Whiskey.It’s an unaged, crystal clear, cornwhiskey that is being sold innumbered bottles in liquorstores. Thanks to a just-passedMinnesota law we were able tosample a shot from bottle num-ber 148. I was prepared for thebite that I associate withwhiskey. I’m still waiting.

“That’s really smooth,” my surprised wife said.Next we tried an apple whiskey that will be released when the

distillery receives the government’s green light.“We use fresh apple juice, real cinnamon sticks, and lots of brown

sugar,” Panther said. “What does it taste like?”Apples!“We use Minnesota-grown apple juice when we can get it,” Gri-

nager said.Minnesota grains are easier to come by than Minnesota apple

juice. Grinager points out the back door of the distillery to theOsakis Cooperative Creamery elevator.

“They bring us 10 tons of No. 2 yellow corn per week,” he said.“We also buy wheat and barley from local farmers.”

On a good day the Panther Distillery distills 300 gallons of high-quality alcohol. There are 15 500-gallon fermenting tanks bubblingaway at any one time. There are also three hard-working copperpot-bellied stills and a couple big stainless steel mash cookers.

“We get about 50 gallons of high-quality drinking alcohol per 500-gallon batch,” Grinager said.

What is drinkable alcohol is determined by the master distiller.“It’s important to have just one person tasting for quality,” Gri-

nager said. “That way you get a consistent product.”In a batch of distilled alcohol there are the head, the tail and the

heart. The tail goes to farmers for feed, the head is saved as a solu-tion to clean the equipment, and the heart goes directly into a bot-tle or into a barrel for aging.

You can find the heart from Panther Distillery at over 400 Min-nesota establishments from Jackson to Waskish. You can also stopby the distillery during business hours for a tour and a sample.

Perhaps sharing the “cau-tious optimism” of most porkproducers, Minnesotan KarenRichter, simply described theweather challenges of 2013 asjust another glitch followingthe unprecedented 2012drought across much of Amer-ica.

“We’re going from one extreme toanother,” Richter said. “This just putsmore emphasis on managementstrategies and the risks involved ineven daily decisions.”

Reflecting on her 20-plus years as aMontgomery, Minn., farm wife and hogproducer she recalled the challenges ofthe delayed planting season of 1991.“We worked our way through that oneand the rapid, sometimes unpre-dictable changes continue. Today con-tinual innovations and new technolo-gies in pork production have notslowed despite these economic chal-lenges of higher feed costs.”

Richter was recently elected as presi-

dent of the National Pork Board.Part of making the pork business

work today is the availability of sci-ence and new research. She creditsfunds from the pork checkoff programas the catalyst that helps drive thesenew initiatives.

“Often when I’m out talking withpork producers, and even the generalpublic, I hear the comment ‘I had no

idea there was so much scienceinvolved’,” Richter said.

Hopefully new science will rapidlyrescue pork producers from porcineepidemic diarrhea, a talking issue atthe recent World Pork Expo. Richtersaid this is a new disease to the UnitedStates but actually has been a healthissue for pork producers in other partsof the world for many decades.

She said the NPB quickly appropri-ated $450,000 to address the PEDissue. First identified in two states, itso far is mostly a Midwestern concern.She said Paul Sundberg, science andtechnology senior vice president of theNational Pork Board, is working withveterinary diagnostic labs across thehog belt to most rapidly develop strate-gies to control and cure the PED dis-ease. PED is a transmissible gastroen-teritis-like virus.

Commenting on the acquisition ofSmithfield Pork by a major Chinesefood entity, Richter spoke with cau-

tious optimism about this businesstransaction. “China is the largestpork-eating population in the world.As a producer I’m looking at this asan opportunity for more American-produced pork to enter into this rap-idly expanding marketplace. To methis creates additional production andmarketing opportunities industry-wide.”

She views business decisions aspart of the ongoing globalization ofthe swine industry. “You look at themarketing data over the years andany time the tonnage picks up thereseems to be benefits across the boardto producers, processors and mar-keters.”

The newly elected members to theNational Pork Board take office at theJuly meeting of the board at the Wis-consin Dells.

Richter was interviewed at theWorld Pork Expo in Des Moines inearly June. ❖

As farmers are so keenly aware,the politics of the new farm bill area constantly changing chess game.

A good example: a potentialagreement between the HumaneSociety of United States and theUnited Egg Producers emerged“behind the scenes” as a potentialmajor issue of proposed language in the new farmbill, according to Howard Hill, newly elected presi-dent of the National Pork Producers Council.

“If that proposal got into the farm bill it would set aprecedent for national legislation telling producershow to raise their animals. ... Even though the propo-nents say it doesn’t include other livestock, we justdon’t have confidence that it wouldn’t be the nextstep.”

Hill likely speaks for all pork producers and live-stock farmers in general when he said that theNPPC feels producers are the best judge of the rightway to raise their animals, rather than legislators inWashington, D.C.

As a veterinarian graduate from Iowa State Uni-versity and 13 years with Iowa Select Farms, the last10 as chief operations officer, Hill is well qualified tocomment regarding swine handling, especially whenit comes to the issue of farrowing stalls.

“Stalls will be with us for the foreseeable future.Stalls provide individual protection for sows andimmeasurably more comfort and protection for nurs-ing baby pigs,” Hill said in a visit with The Land atthe June World Pork Expo in Des Moines.

He cuts to the quick in a discussion of stalls versusopen pens. He said the position of the NPPC is that itshould be the producer’s choice, not some legislativemandate from Washington, D.C.

“It’s not the system; it’s the management of thesystem that makes the difference. We’re talkingabout the husbandry skills of the animal caretakerthat is most important in determining the comfort ofthose sows,” he said.

There’s a lot of different ways to house sows andwhatever an individual producer can best do is howhe/she should be allowed to do, Hill said.

He steps politely aside as to which part of the coun-try is best equipped for profitable hog production.

“I’ve got great production friends inNorth Carolina, for example, every bitas efficient as the best Iowa producers.But because they don’t grow enough oftheir own corn, they get socked with ahigher basis difference on corn andsoybean meal. In fact, more recentlysome of our North Carolina pork pro-ducers are bringing in corn fromBrazil because that’s a cheaper cornthan hauling it in from the Midwest,”Hill said.

The ethanol/feed cost issue is alwaysbubbling these days, especially aroundlunch counters at the WPE, andunderstandably so. In 2002, about 1 billion bushelsof U.S. corn was used in ethanol production; in 2012the figure was 5 billion bushels. Because of thenationwide drought in 2012, the supply-demandratios for corn and soybeans got bent a bit wildly,especially for producers having to buy the bulk oftheir feedstuffs. The pressure hasn’t lessened.

Hill acknowledged it’s a tough issue but stressesthat the NPPC has never opposed alternative energyambitions because future energy needs of the UnitedStates continue to increase. “But what we oppose arethe subsidies that are helping to finance theseenergy programs,” he said.

“There are no subsidies for pork. Pork producersare very willing to play on a level playing field withanyone else. But when you have subsidies, that dis-torts the market unfairly, we maintain. And nowwith the E-15 ethanol mandate being promotedwe’re talking 15 billion gallons eventually. We feelthat does create an artificial market.

“Ideally we’d like a system where when we have ashort crop such as last year, there would be somerelief valve so the ethanol industry would ‘idle back’on the amount of corn being used for ethanol. Wehave to have feedstuffs for our livestock. It’s not amatter of are we going to feed our livestock. We haveto feed them.”

Hill thinks the pork industry is already reacting tothe likelihood of higher feed prices going into thefourth quarter of 2013 and continuing into 2014.“Right now we’re seeing only moderate growth.Challenging feed costs is what’s driving this sce-nario. If feed costs stay high we simply won’t be see-ing hog numbers ramping up.”

Because of “currency issues” Canadian pork pro-

ducers aren’t moving nearly thevolume of feeder pigs down to U.S.producers like they used to. Coun-try of Origin Labeling is also anissue slowing movement of porkbetween these two nations.

“The language in the proposedCOOL regulations would be a dis-aster for pork producers,” Hill said.He explained that according to theproposal, where the pig was born,where it was raised and where itwas processed would all have to beidentified on the label. That wouldcreate a lot of extra labeling costs;

segregation in the packing plants. “We’re told thisproposal would cost U.S. pork producers about $100million.

“Now it goes back to the World Trade Organiza-tion. We’ll have to wait for their decision. Mostlikely they will find that proposal to not be compli-ant, meaning it wouldn’t be acceptable by WTO. Idoubt there’s a 50-50 chance of it being compliant.So a change will have to be made, otherwise we’ll beseeing penalties on a lot of products movingbetween the U.S., Mexico and Canada.”

Hill thinks the American consumer doesn’t differ-entiate when buying meat products so why go to allthis extra cost and the additional segregation ofproduct in the food chain? “Now if we’re talkingproducts coming in from a country where the Amer-ican consumer lacks confidence, that’s a differentstory. However we consider Canada a strategic part-ner in the U.S. pork industry and we just don’t thinkit makes any sense to have a complicated labelingsystem when we’re dealing with our Canadian part-ners,” Hill said.

He considers himself now mostly retired, devotingmost of his time to the NPPC. However he and hisson operate 2,700 acres of Iowa corn and soybeanacres, plus they have a purebred Angus cow herdand they operate their own sow farm. ❖

Veteran hog producerRandy Spronk of Edgerton,Minn., is the current presi-dent of the National PorkProducers Council. He’s akeen observer of the indus-try.

Ask Spronk what he viewsas the biggest change in thehog industry over the past 25years and his quick responseis “size and scale. From abiosecurity, cost-effective-ness and biological standpoint every-body has had to get bigger, or drop out.And there are often several playersinvolved. We, for instance, we workwithin the Pipestone System whichmeans working with other producersto own the sow farms but have ourown individual facilities back on ourfarms.”

He points out the industry strives tobe even more efficient in every dimen-sion of pork production. “Producerstoday are constantly juggling a lot ofballs be that genetics, nutrition, hous-ing, herd health, marketing and espe-cially public relations. And that’swhat’s so great about the World PorkExpo. You can come down here andvirtually get a short course in anyaspect of growing pork,” Spronk saidin an interview with The Land.

So does this onward trend in porkproduction drive even more concen-tration of the industry in the UpperMidwest? Is this becoming the pre-mier region in America for growingpork?

Spronk said it’s a matter of sustain-ability and sometimes that relates toheritage. “My grandfather emigratedfrom the Netherlands in 1925 becauseof lack of sustainability. It’s a smallcountry, too many people, not enoughland mass so they had to import mostof their feed. Soon they realized that ifyou can’t grow the grain, there’s noland to utilize the manure.

That is what is happening in Amer-ica. “The livestock are moving back tothe Upper Midwest. Livestock need tobe where the grain is grown.That’s whywe are sustainable.”

In view of weather patterns in 2012and again this year, does Minnesotahave a “weather advantage”? Spronkrealizes parts of southeast Minnesotathis spring faced the same wet fieldschallenges as did Iowa, Wisconsin, Illi-

nois, Missouri and Nebraska. Lastyear’s drought shaved his corn yieldsabout 25 percent. “When my father quitfarming in 1988 100-bushel yields werequite good. Last year even with one ofour driest seasons I still had 150-bushelcorn. Last year Minnesota was in thegarden spot, as was North Dakota.Some are saying we’re in the gardenspot again this year but it’s still early.For certain trucks and trains looking forAugust-September corn are mostly com-ing up to this country. Next year itmight be the inverse.”

So perhaps with higher corn pricesvirtually inevitable this fall, will thepork industry put on its brakes?Spronk credits hog producers with newthinking in this competitive meat mar-ket. “They know risk managementstrategies need to be part of their busi-ness plan. That’s why I think sharpproducers here at this Expo have somemethodology that shows when there’s aprofit in selling the pig, buying thecorn, buying the soybean meal andthey’re exercising those contracts. Iknow some producers already 12months out both on feed purchases andmarketing contracts. Because produc-ers have become much more sophisti-cated in the risk management abilitiesit allows them to weather some of thesevolatilities.”

Spronk is a practitioner of hispreaching. He said he had justcrunched some second quarter 2014marketing the day before coming tothe June 5-7 World Pork Expo.

Spronk reminds producers thattelling their story is an ongoing func-tion, maybe even more important inthis era of instant communications.“Telling what we do, why we do isnever ending. A fully informed con-sumer will make the right choice,” hesaid. He reminded that a lean tender-loin is comparable to a bonelesschicken breast — high in protein, vir-tually fat-free and delicious flavor.

“Yes, pork can indeed be that health-ful product especially in view of thegrowing obesity issue across Amer-ica.”

Spronk Brothers III LLP is a familyowned operation. They own their sowswhich are professionally managed inthe Pipestone System; they have theirown on-farm feed mill and they do far-row-to-finish, as well as grow much oftheir corn, fertilized with manurefrom their own swine operation.

Is the purchase of Smithfield Foodsby a Chinese business entity anendorsement of U.S. pork? He said that30 years back Japan was a rapidlygrowing market for U.S. pork. TodayChina is the No. 1 value export cus-tomer of U.S. pork purchasing over $2billion per year. So even more porkgoing into China, the biggest consumermarket in the world for U.S. pork willonly be accelerated with this businesstransaction. ❖

Inevitably farm shows get down to“bragging rights.” And invariably thatrelates to how many people attend aparticular event, as well as how manyexhibitors shows their wares.

Farmfest, doing its 23rd annualshow, is now the fourth largest agri-cultural show in the country. FarmProgress Shows, the biggest in Amer-ica, is at Decatur, Ill., this year, soattendance at Farmfest is likely toswell even more.

Farmfest 2013 is Aug. 6-8 at the Gil-fillan Estate in Redwood County,Minn.

“We’re excited. We’re very pleasedwith the growing number ofexhibitors that are now buying intoFarmfest. And our farm attendancehas been terrific. We modestly callthis the biggest three-day ‘fun at thefarm’ conference in America,” said

Ray Bianchi, vice president of CygnusExpositions, the firm that conductsfarm shows in Minnesota, SouthDakota, Texas and Illinois.

New at Farmfest this year is a newWicks building that replaces the for-mer “Forum Tent.” “This new centerwill be the location for all the educa-tion forums plus Lynn Ketelsen’s (Lin-der Farm Network) Noon Time Jam-boree radio shows. It’s a big redbuilding right in the middle of ourgrounds,” Bianchi said. This new facil-ity will be climatized so that winterevents can also be staged on the Farm-fest grounds.

Farmfest is “sold out” in terms ofadditional space for additionalexhibitors. Bianchi said they are 120percent sold out, meaning there iswaiting list of exhibitors.

FARMFEST, from pg. 2Fcoordinated by Kent Thiesseof MinnStar Bank inLake Crystal, Minn.,has even more varietyfor 2013, Bianchi said.For example the opening session on Aug. 6, is on grainmarketing. In view of concerning questions about theaccuracy of U.S. Department of Agriculture projec-tions for the 2013 crops, this will be a lively session.(See Page 22F for a schedule of forums.)

“Reaching an Endpoint on a New Farm Bill” on Aug.6 continues the unrest in agriculture with a paneldiscussion about the pending new farm bill. Panelmembers include U.S. Reps. Collin Peterson and TimWalz, Roger Johnson of the National Farmers Union,Dale Moore of American Farm Bureau Federationand Bob Worth, Minnesota grower and vice presidentof the American Soybean Association.

Bianchi said national media coverage plus all theTwin Cities TV channels will be on deck. “So thisshould be a very exciting session.”

The afternoon forum might also be filled with ver-bal fisticuffs since that session focuses on renewableenergy policies currently in place in America and newproposals to expand the role of renewable energy inAmerica, and perhaps elsewhere. U.S. Sen. AlFranken will provide major insights from a govern-mental point of view.

At 3 p.m. on Aug. 6 the interest and intensity is notlikely to lessen, with the forum “Enhancing Ag Pro-duction and Water Quality with Managed DrainageSystems.” Energy issues even continue into theevening of that first day with a biodiesel tractor pullscheduled at 6:30 p.m. at the Redwood County Fair-grounds.

The 10: 30 a.m. forum on Day 2 will deal with agri-culture from a media perspective.

Tom Rothman, former farm radio man and nowdirector of ag stakeholder outreach of the Universityof Minnesota College of Food, Agricultural and Nat-ural Resource Sciences, will moderate this forum. Theoverriding question: Is agriculture getting a fairbreak in the media?

That afternoon’s forum will look at “How We RaiseOur Livestock — Who Should Decide.” Speakers frompork, beef, poultry and milk producer groups willoffer their insight.

What’s ahead for students majoring in agriculture?An Aug. 8 session will present the nuts and bolts ofjust how big a future is ahead for students gettinginto agriculture.

At 1:30 p.m. Aug. 8, the Minnesota Farm Families ofthe Year will be honored.

Technology nerds should have a blast at this year’sFarmfest. Bianchi said more than 30 exhibitors willbe putting the focus on technology. All told over 1.3million square feet of exhibit space will be on parade.Two tractor companies are using Farmfest for the

Farm bill forum expectedto draw national crowd

By CAROLYN VAN LOHThe Land Correspondent

The story of Farmfest’s home at theGilfillan Estate began in 1882 whenCharles D. (C.D.) Gilfillan invested in13,000 acres west of Morgan, Minn.Born in New Hartford, N.Y., in 1831,C.D. was a prosperous St. Paul busi-nessman, attorney and political leader.

C.D.’s legacy to St. Paul was his lead-ership and financial support in build-ing the city’s first underground watersystem. His fiscal responsibilitiesincluded 37 years on the board ofdirectors of First National Bank, 17years as the bank’s vice president andfounder of the First Trust Co. of St.Paul.

Charles O. (C.O.) Gilfillan succeededhis father in managing the RedwoodCounty farm system after the elderGilfillan’s death in 1902 at the age of71. He and his wife, Anna, amassed afortune by building on the foundationlaid by C.D., but they generously gaveof their resources to area communitiesfor a hospital, park or museum.

C.O. died in 1962 at the age of 90.When Anna died in 1990 at the age of95, her will bequeathed the Gilfillanfarm site to the Redwood County His-torical Society in honor of C.O. to pre-serve the history of the estate and thesurrounding area.

The will stipulated that the historyshould be available to the public, sothe historical society began conductingtours in 1993. A number of volunteersorganized the Friends of Gilfillan, agroup that oversees maintenance andtours as well as private and publicevents.

Ten years after C.O.’s death whenVernon Center, Minn., hosted theworld plowing contest, the seeds ofFarmfest were planted. In 1977,Marlyn Buss bought Farmfest’s nameand records after the organizationwent bankrupt. In 1982, he organizeda Farmfest on his dad’s farm east ofLake Crystal, Minn. The summerevent stayed there for eight years

GILFILLAN, from pg. 31Fbefore moving to the Austin, Minn., area for fouryears.

Location and expenses presented major chal-lenges for Farmfest. The site was “bad from thestart,” Buss said.

After an interview by Brian Langeland of Red-

wood Falls KGLR radio the last day of Farmfest in1992, the two men were discussing the future of theshow. Marlyn mentioned he was looking for a newlocation.

“I asked him if he had ever considered the Red-wood Falls area because it was between the top twocorn and soybean producing counties of Minnesota

(Redwood and Renville counties),” Langeland said.The following week Langeland and radio station

manager Mike Neudecker guided Buss on a tour ofthe area. They also introduced him to Pete Iverson ofthe Redwood Area Development Corp. He connectedBuss with the Gilfillan Estate.

“Pete really stepped forward and helped us getestablished,” said Buss, who continued ownership forfour years.

The arrival of Farmfest in 1993 motivated Friendsof Gilfillan volunteers to erect a pavilion to servehomemade ice cream made the old-fashioned hand-crank way. Income from sales of the refreshing sum-mer treat and hot lunches goes back into improve-ments of the grounds and buildings which provide atranquil setting for weddings, family reunions andpublic events.

A two-cylinder engine club arranges for historicalexhibits and demonstrations during the three-dayfarm show.

Billed as one of the largest agricultural events inthe world, Farmfest currently functions underIDEAg, which also manages similar events in SouthDakota, Texas and Illinois. ❖

The 2013 Minnesota Pork Ambassadorwill be named at Farmfest with a programstarting at 1 p.m. Aug. 7 in the Wick Build-ings Farmfest Center.

Now, meet the candidates.Samantha Smith, Blue Earth County

Samantha Smith is an agribusiness pro-duction student in her second year atSouth Central College in North Mankato,Minn. Smith would like to work as a pro-motion director and promote agriculture.

She thinks that antibiotic use concernsare one of the biggest issues the swineindustry is battling right now. She is con-cerned that consumers do not understandthe “actual” way farmers use antibiotics ontheir farms. She believes education is thekey to dealing with this issue.

Smith’s part time job at Wakefield Porkhas had a big impact on her. She has learned a lotabout the industry and has gained skills that willcontinue to help her develop into the future. “I learnsomething new every day, it has been a valuableexperience for me,” she said.

Smith is involved in the Post Ag Secondary Stu-dents where she promotes agriculture around cam-pus and in the community. Along with this, she isactive in her church and helps out with the youthprogram.Emma Thurston, Blue Earth County

Emma Thurston completed her first year at theUniversity of Wisconsin, River Falls, where she isstudying animal science with a meat animal man-agement emphasis and a minor in food science.

Her goal is to pursue a career in swine production

AMBASSADORS, from pg. 36Fwith hopes to continually improve meat quality andgenetics.

Thurston believes the ambassador program is agreat way to become a leader and speak out aboutthe swine industry. She would like to learn more andshare her knowledge with the public by being thestate Pork Industry Ambassador.

“I think as producers, we need the public to trustwhat we are doing and why we are doing it,”Thurston said. “It is important for producers to taketime to speak with the public about common prac-tices used on farms.”

Thurston is active in 4-H, specifically in the swineproject. She loves showing her pigs at the county andstate level. She takes pride in educating the fairgo-ers when she is there. “I usually stand by my pigsand ask anybody walking by if they have any ques-tions.”

She thinks education is the single most importantthing to create trust between producer and con-sumer.Brett Stevermer, Faribault County

Brett Stevermer would like to be the state PorkIndustry Ambassador, because he wants to promotean industry that has been part of his life since dayone. He believes it would be a great way for him to beinvolved not only in the community he grew up in,but in his home state as well.

“I would have a positive attitude as the MinnesotaPork Industry Ambassador. I will work hard and bededicated to this great industry,” Stevermer said.

Stevermer will be attending the University of Min-nesota in the fall, majoring in engineering. He has astrong passion for automobiles and an interest inmaking vehicles more efficient. He would like tomake technology more accessible to those living in arural community.

Stevermer has held many leadership positions andpart-time jobs that have helped him obtain manybeneficial skills. He helps out at home on the farmand has learned many valuable lessons with that, aswell as being a member of 4-H, band, choir, studentgovernment and National Honor Society. “Theseexperiences have taught me commitment and perse-verance. I’ve learned the importance of time manage-ment and sticking to my word,” Stevermer said.Jacob Sorenson, Freeborn County

Jacob Sorenson believes he would be a good Min-nesota Pork Industry Ambassador because he has atrue passion for the swine industry. He enjoys talk-ing to consumers and producers about the industryand would like to better educate the public.

He wants to learn more about businessmanagement, economic management, precision farm-ing, marketing and agriculture engineering. “Myfuture excites me, there are many opportunities andcareers available in agriculture,” Sorenson said.

Animal care is of the utmost importance to Soren-son, and he believes that this will solve a lot of issueswithin the industry. Having zero-tolerance for inhu-mane treatment of pigs will build consumer trust.

In high school, Sorenson was involved in band,choir, plays, FFA, 4-H and was a two-sport athlete.He plans to stay active in 4-H and FFA throughoutcollege, as well as join clubs at SDSU. He also enjoyshelping out on his family’s farm.Andrew Praus, Goodhue County

He has a passion for the indus-try and would like to continue beinginvolved. “Attending the National FFAConvention and the National 4-HDairy Conference has had a greatimpact on me and has really encour-aged me to pursue a career in theagricultural industry,” Praus said.

Praus would like to be the Min-nesota Pork Industry Ambassadorbecause he thinks that pig farmershave a story to tell about current pro-duction practices and animal care. “Ithink that people should know wheretheir food comes from and know how itis responsibly raised,” Praus said.

Praus has worked at Rostad Farms forfour years.At the farm, he helps with thedairy, custom hog finishing and cropfarming.This job has helped him appreci-ate agriculture even more, as well asteach him valuable skills, such as: hardwork, organization and public relations.Adam Munstertieger, KanabecCounty

eral public learn more about the indus-try and what we do to ensure that ahigh-quality product makes it to theirdinner table” Adam Munstertiegersaid. He enjoys discussing the issueswithin the industry and what produc-ers are doing to fix them.

He is active and has held lead-ership positions in many clubs, includ-ing the Block and Bridle Club, GopherDairy Club and Delta Theta SigmaFraternity.

Munstertieger would like to be theMinnesota Pork Industry Ambassadorso that he can learn more about theindustry and become proactive in com-bating the issues the industry faces.

He has been active in 4-H, FFA andthe general livestock judging team. Hebelieves these programs have impactedhim the most and have helped him getto where he is today. “Living on a farm

has helped me learn a lot about theimportance of working hard,” he said.Miranda Schwartz, Le SueurCounty

Miranda Schwartz plans to attendthe University of Minnesota to studyagricultural education. She would liketo be the Minnesota Pork IndustryAmbassador because she could educatepeople in Minnesota about the impor-tance of pork and the farmers who areproducing it.

Schwartz believes the pork industrystruggles with the issue of consumermisconceptions. She believes talking tochildren at school is important, so thatthey learn about animals and agricul-ture while they are young. This willhelp minimize the misconceptions theyhave in their adult life.

Being in 4-H and working on thefarm with her father has had the great-est impact on her life. She has learneda lot about agriculture, especially thepork and crop industries. This hashelped her expand her knowledge andshare her passion with others.

AMBASSADORS, from pg. 38Fance and support so that they growinto people who are passionate aboutagriculture,” Schwartz said.Levi Becker, Martin County

Levi Becker would like to be theMinnesota Pork Industry Ambassadorbecause pigs have always been a partof his life. He has grown up aroundpigs and has learned a lot over theyears from his family. He feels confi-dent that he would be able to promoteand share his knowledge with con-sumers.

Becker is the fourth generation onhis family farm. When he completesschool he wants to return to the fam-ily farm to work alongside his dad,uncle and grandpa. “I look forward tofollowing the footsteps of my familybecause they have taught me a lot ofwhat I know,” he said.

Educating the future generationsand those removed from farms is oneof the biggest struggles the porkindustry faces. Many people do notunderstand why farms do what theydo. “Encouraging and supporting agri-cultural classes in school, FFA and 4-H will be most valuable in the future,”Becker said.

Becker was active in 4-H, FFA, base-ball, basketball and football in highschool. He also helps out on the farm.Emily Wagener, Martin County

Emily Wagener will be a senior atFairmont High School. She is active inher school and community and is amember of FFA and 4-H. These organ-izations have helped her find her pas-sion for agriculture and the swineindustry.

Wagener would like to be the Min-nesota Pork Industry Ambassadorbecause she likes to talk with peopleand promote the pork industry.Wagener believes there are a lot ofpositive aspects of agriculture thatneed to be shared.

One of the issues that Wagenerbelieves the swine industry is facing isthe price of feed. In order to reducesome costs on the farm, Wagener sug-gests a switch to wet-dry feeders toimprove feed efficiency. This is goingto be vital this year in Minnesota, dueto the weather that we have had.

4-H has had a great impact onWagener that will be helpful for herfuture. “Twelve years ago when Ishowed at my first livestock show, Iknew it was something I really lovedand was passionate about. This hasgiven me a passion that I will carry

into my future career,” Wagener said.Dillon Welter, Olmsted County

Dillon Welter plans to attend SDSUin the fall majoring in agriculturalsystems technology. Welter believeshis options will be wide open for acareer when he graduates, becausetechnology is always changing andimproving.

He wants to become active in theSwine Club, Block and Bridle Cluband many other campus activities.

One issue in the pork industry isconsumer confidence and trust. Welterbelieves that consumers do not likewhen they do not know where theirfood is coming from. He has helpedwith the effort to improve confidencein consumers by handing out samplesin grocery stores, and having conver-sations with people. He thinks this isa great way to gain trust and get con-sumers to consume more pork.

Raising and showing pigs at thecounty and state level have been Wel-ter’s favorite part of being in theswine industry. He has enjoyed beingable to raise all of his own show pigs,and it has taught him a lot aboutresponsibility. When it is time to show,he gets to see that all of his hard workpaid off.

In high school, Welter was an activemember of his FFA chapter, 4-H club,soccer, golf, band, choir, NationalHonor Society, BPA, pork producersand Farm Bureau. He also took partin many community and leadershipactivities.Jaden Carlson, Pipestone County

Jaden Carlson would enjoy being theMinnesota Pork Industry Ambassadorbecause she has been active in theagricultural industry.

Over the years, she has acquired apassion for the swine industry andwould like to spread a positive lightand communicate to the public aboutthis great industry.

“I know how to talk to consumersand spread a positive message to con-sumers,” Carlson said.

Carlson feels that one of the difficul-ties that the industry has encounteredis antibiotic use. “Educating con-sumers about the on-farm practiceswe have is going to help deal with thisissue,” she said. She enjoys workingwith consumers to develop an under-standing of how pork is raised.

Carlson is a student at NorthDakota State University, where she ispursuing a bachelor’s degree in micro-biology. Upon graduation, she will con-

tinue her education to pursue a mas-ter’s and doctorate in microbiology.She hopes to operate her own businessin animal vaccination research anddevelopment one day.Richard Breeggemann, ScottCounty

“I would like to be the MinnesotaPork Industry Ambassador so I can bean advocate for Minnesota porkfarms,” Breeggemann said. “I realizehow important it is that consumersknow the many benefits of pork.”

One of the issues that the swineindustry faces is the use of pork inschool lunches, he said. He believesthat we need to work to get pork backinto school lunch programs because itis a lean protein that is healthy forchildren to consume.

Breeggemann has been involved in4-H, FFA, football and church festival.In college he is active in Scott CountyPork Producer’s Burger Stand andPost Ag Secondary where he promotesagriculture to the local community.

She believes that there is a largedisconnection between the farmerand the consumer. If this problem isnot addressed, it will only continue toget worse. “Encouraging agriculturaleducation in schools would have apositive impact in bridging the gapbetween producers and consumers,”Wicker said.

At a young age, Wicker startedworking on her family farm, whereshe learned many skills and devel-oped her passion for agriculture andswine. She has learned the value ofhard work and honesty, as well as theimportance of agriculture.
