“Truth is generally the best vindicationagainst slander.” ~ Abraham Lincoln,letter to Secretary of War Edwin Stanton,July 18, 1864

Transparency is crucial in any relation-ship. A successful marriage requires thepartners be truthful. Trust is vitalbetween parents and children. Honesty isat the core of a good business partnership.

Farmers and the entire food industrymust be transparent in their relationshipwith consumers.

Genetic engineering, animal welfare,water quality, antibiotics and growthhormones, herbicides and pesticides,slaughterhouse procedures ... all are top-ics the public may have once chosen to cover its col-lective ears about and say “I don’t care how it gothere, just give me the cheeseburger, soda and fries.”

That just isn’t the case anymore. Today peoplewant to know what’s in their food, where it camefrom and how it was grown.

With more information, of course, comes both thegood and the bad. For example, it’s a fact there aresome poorly trained or just plain nasty people whoabuse animals in confinement facilities. It does agri-culture a disservice to cover up the issue by addingextra penalties for illicit videotaping. The problemisn’t that it gets caught — the problem is “it.”

Meanwhile, the science may not be quite as ready-for-prime-time as we’d like regarding the advancedag technologies used these days with animals andgrains. Backing truckloads of money into politicalpockets to influence legislation or approvals doesn’tmake you right, just louder.

Whether labels like organic, free-range, cage-free,natural, grass-fed, pasture-raised or humane makefood healthier or better in some way is up to the per-son pushing the grocery cart to decide for their ownfamily.

So let’s tell people what’s in their food, where itcame from, and how it was grown ... and educatethem about how that information does, or does not,impact their well-being.

Don’t patronize consumers by, essentially, pattingthem on the head and telling them not to worryabout what they’re putting in their bodies. As long asproducers and processors think they know better andwithhold the full truth about their products andmethods, conscientious consumers will understand-ably feel they are being denied information.

Distrust breeds contempt, and plummeting faith inthe entire food system. Such weaknesses are happilytaken advantage of by organizations with “anti-ag”agendas. If agriculture is under attack, don’t fling

slander and misdirection like your oppo-nents; fight back with fact.

Many farm groups, of course, are work-ing hard to get the “ag story” to the generalpublic, to show how most farmers are hon-est people who care about the grain theygrow, the meat they raise, the environmentwe all live in, and are proud of what theydo. One example can be found on Page 15of this very issue. Such efforts are valuableand important to the future of agriculture.

But without legislation or, preferably, self-imposed programs to bring transparencyto the entire food chain, such “ag story”efforts will be seen by a discriminating

public as nothing more than shallow PRstunts. Farmers must be outspoken, progressive andtransparent as they shine the light of truth all of theway up the food chain to the shopping cart.

LAND MINDS

By Tom Royer

To the Editor:We often think of our legacy as related

to our farm’s financial success. Ourlegacy will show how we were able toweather hard times — floods, droughts,hot weather, cool weather, low prices,pests, weeds, the farming crisis of the’80s, changes in production methods andother enormous challenges.

Our legacy will show that not onlydid our farm survive, it prospered.Maybe it even grew in number of acresor livestock.

These are all important parts of ourlegacies.

But, what is our legacy in relation toour community? What is our legacy inrelation to all of those pieces of ourcommunity that make it the place welove, and make it what it is?

What is the legacy we leave for those

who wish to move to or livein our area? What is thelegacy we want to leave forthe next generation of farmers?

We all want the next generation offarmers to succeed, just as the genera-tions previous to us wanted us to suc-ceed. Are we leaving them with theopportunity to do so? Can anyone whowants to farm have that opportunity?Shouldn’t someone who wants to farmhave that opportunity?

I was able to farm for two simple rea-sons. Reason No. 1 — my family sup-ported me. However, my parents did notfarm enough land to support two fami-lies. The other reason I was able to farmwas because of two landowners. Both val-ued helping a young farmer as much asthey valued “top dollar.” In return, I havetreated their land with the care andrespect I would as if I owned it. Because

of this, and because I raisecrops for specialty markets,

they have both beenrewarded financially as well.

As land ownership changes hands,are our values being accurately andhonestly reflected? When you see landchanging hands, does it show to otherswhat we truly value?

Without creative transition solu-tions, where will the next generation offarmers worship, shop and send theirkids to school? Will they be able tofarm at all?

What are some ways we can showour values and ensure our legacy —not just financially, but also in otherways — when we transition our farmto the next generation?

This question can be quite hard toanswer.

However, there is a large and con-tinually growing number of examplesof creative ways that retiring farmershave found to transition their land tonew farmers. There are all sorts of dif-ferent examples that have allowedretiring farmers to ensure that theirfarm’s financial, family and commu-nity legacy is preserved for the nextgeneration.

I know, without a doubt, that if welook hard enough, we can all findways to ensure our legacies in a waythat truly reflects our values.Ryan BataldenLamberton

Letter: What will be your farm’s community legacy?

The stroll to the U.S. Capitol isleisurely despite a soft winter sun andhard northwest breeze to encourage aquicker pace.

I resist the farm urge to hurry; I take mytime because this may be my last long walkin Washington, D.C., for a while and I wantto savor it. I also have special places andpeople to see and I’m in no hurry to seethem and certainly not in any hurry tomaybe not ever see ’em again.

I approach the high-crowned Capitolfrom the southeast, the same directionthat the non-White House side ofPennsylvania Avenue takes. This is theliving side of Capitol Hill; the other isthe working side.

This is also where daughter Grace and husband,Andrew, live. In five days they move back to theirnative Midwest and forward in their young lives.Their already packed boxes hold the clearest rea-sons why the lovely Catherine and I are unlikely toreturn to this city. Before they — and we with them— go, I must visit the friends.

The first stands where it’s stood for the more than30 years — and decades before then — that I’vebeen wandering the Capitol grounds. It’s an enor-mous red oak bearing a small plaque that notes in“Commemoration of Speaker Joseph G. Cannon.”

The tree is as strong and tall as “Uncle Joe” wassmall and wiry during his iron-fisted tenure as

Speaker of the House from 1903 to 1911.No one served longer until DennisHastert, a fellow Illinoisan and fellowRepublican, surpassed him in 2006. Can-non ran the House like a county court-house: nothing happened until he ruledon it.

Behind the red oak the Capitol shim-mers in creamy, January sunlight andbristles with guards, weapons and police,working on appointed jobs for the Presi-dential Inauguration ceremonies fourdays hence. I skirt all in a west arc

around the building’s House sidebecause just off its southwest corner isanother friend, a tall, thick-limbed

pecan tree, Carya illinoinensis.It is magnificent and reminds me of the massive

pecan trees on the southern Illinois farm of myyouth. They with-stood fire, droughtsand floods, theFrench, the Britishand the Gueberts.This tree, I hope,will stand long aftermy grandchildren’schildren walk theselovely grounds.

The cold windlicks my neck as I hot-foot across a traffic

round-about in front of the Capitol to see anothertransplanted Illinoisan. Here, high atop a pedestal ofstone in front of the Reflecting Pool, sits U.S. Grantastride his bronze steed whose frozen eyes are wideand watching its rider’s flank.

The power of the statue — the best, I think, in thecity — rests in Gen. Grant’s eyes, barely visibleunder a wide-brimmed hat. They are fixed due weston an unseen enemy. The look they convey is unmis-takable; weary, unyielding, unfailing.

Two blocks down Maryland Avenue naps anotherfriend. As I enter the National Museum of the Ameri-can Indian I see her again and she is heart-stoppinggorgeous. Every handmade Ojibwe birch bark canoeis. I never visit Washington without spending a fewmoments with this Northwood’s mistress, the perfectcombination of spruce, cedar, pitch and bark.

Next door is what all in D.C. call, simply, Air andSpace. It’s a huge museumcrowded with planes, jets,spacecraft and people. It alsoholds two World War II air-planes (in an aircraft carrier-like display) of the type thatJohn F. Watson, my long-gonefather-in-law, flew from 1943 to1945. One look at either alwaysmakes me shudder: what kindof courage must you have to flyeither into battle believing youwill return?

My return to Gracie’s is pre-ordained. It’s now dark and I’ve lingered too long tocomplete all my visits at other museums and parks. Imosey homeward, though, knowing that all these oldfriends will be here when, and if, I return becauselike me, most are — or soon will be — museumpieces.

Being a member of a cooperativegave Roger Pietron and his family anopportunity to get a better price forthe high-quality wild Alaska salmonthey catch each summer.

The Pietron family, who spend mostof the year near Little Falls, in Morri-son County, Minn., are co-founders ofUgashik Bay Salmon cooperative. Thecooperative is made up of a number offamilies who fish in Bristol Bay on thenorth side of the Alaska Peninsula.

Ugashik Bay is a bay within thelarger Bristol Bay. Both are part ofthe Bering Sea. The 42-mile longUgashik River empties out of the tun-dra and into Bristol Bay at UgashikBay. Roger said Ugashik Bay is adelta formed by the Ugashik and two

other rivers.The sea, bay and

river bring the Pietronfamily to fish campeach June and July tocapture the sockeyesalmon as the fishreturn to theUgashik, and otherrivers, to spawn.Pietron describesthe fish that comeout of the Bering’scold depths ascrowding arounda river’s mouth tosmell it. They want to findtheir birth river and go upstream, hesaid. Most years two to three millionsalmon make a run on the Ugashikand its spawning grounds. On very

good years up to five million fish willbe in the spawning run.

“Game and Fish(the Alaska Depart-ment of Fish andGame) monitor itvery carefully,” hesaid.To sustain the fish-

ery, the state’s biolo-gists monitor what iscalled the escapement.Those are the fish thataren’t caught and thatreach the river. Salmonlay enough eggs so thatonly about a third of therun needs to reach the

spawning grounds in the lake at theend of the river. The biologists andtheir assistants actually are on theriver monitoring the escapement whilethe Pietrons, and others, are out in thebay fishing. At times, during the sea-son, fishermen are told to pull in theirnets to let more fish through. Pietronsaid the annual escapement rangesbetween 500,000 to 1.2 million fish.

“Game and Fish announce the fish-ing hours for the day on the publicradio,” Pietron said. “The notice of theopening can be as short as a few hours.The average opening is about eighthours and then you have to pull yournets in and get off the water. Then yougo back in the next day or you mayhave to wait a couple days.”

Fishing and weather are variablewhile the fishermen are on the water.Sometimes the fish run heavy, in largeschools. As the crew pulls in the 300-foot long nets they remove salmon, andthe occasional flounder, from them.The fish are put into heavy waterproofbags filled with ice and seawater. Thebags are in the bottom of the open 24-foot long boats.

“They come out of the water at a lit-tle over 50 degrees,” Pietron said. “Weget them down below 40 as soon aspossible.”

When the boats fill with fish they areloaded onto the ships that transportthem to processors. These transport

See SALMON, pg. 7

SALMON, from pg. 6ships, known as tenders, are often crabbing shipsbeing put to use in their off-season. These tenderscan hold well over 100,000 of pounds of fish.

“Once you have a few thousand pounds in yourboat you have to deliver the fish to the tender ordirectly to the processing ship,” Pietron said. “Theyhave cranes to take your fish. They weigh them andtake their temperature. Then the fish are placed inrefrigerated water. If the weather is rough it can bepretty exciting to get your fish onto the tender orprocessor. You have to be careful and you have tokeep track of things.”

Weather on the bay can be calm but it is also vio-lent and often unpredictable. The Pietrons will quitfishing when wind speeds hit 45 miles an hour.Although they may be only a thousand feet off shore,quitting fishing for the day is no simple matter.Extremely high tides, commonly varying 20 feetbetween high and low tide, can make approachingshore difficult or impossible. A boat and its crew canget trapped in the water, with winds occasionally asintense as 80 miles per hour.

“It’s not like central Minnesota,” Pietron said. “It’soften overcast and you can’t see the weather coming.It can switch in just a few minutes. When thatweather does come you have to pull your nets in. Thatcan take an hour and a half. Then you have to deliveryour fish to the tender or processing ship. They areusually a couple of miles away in deep water.”

It is difficult and demanding work, but two genera-

tions of Pietrons have been fishing Bristol Bay forthree decades. In the early years their primarysalmon market were the canneries. Pietron wasnever quite happy with that arrangement.

“We were catching these beautiful premium qual-ity fish and sending them to canneries,” he said.“Going with the co-op allowed us to maintain topquality and to sell a premium filleted product.”

In 2010, the Pietrons formed their cooperative withnine other fishing families. Ugashik Bay Salmoncooperative then entered into a joint venture withSeattle-based seafood processors to form Cape GreigLLC. One result of the collaboration was the pur-chase of a 190-foot 1,134-ton floating processingship. The group renamed the ship the Cape Greig.Cape Greig is also a cape in Bristol Bay.

“They have a crew of up to 70 people,” Pietron said.“They clean the fish and freeze them quickly. Thenthe frozen fish are transported to Seattle by freezership. Processing them so close to where they werecaught maintains their high quality.”

The floating processor changed life on the bay forco-op members. The Cape Greig is also a floating gro-cery store. It brings food and fuel to the Pietrons’fishing camp, which is miles from any services. Italso provides precious ice for the fishermen to main-tain the high quality of their fish.

Although most of the Pietrons’ salmon is soldthrough the cooperative’s marketing arrangementwith Cape Greig LLC, Pietron brings some back toMinnesota to market. The salmon, as well as Alaska

cod, is available through a number of cooperativemarkets. Among them are numerous Twin Citiesfood co-ops and the Rochester, Brainerd andBemidji food co-ops. He also sells through WholeFarm Cooperative in Long Prairie.

When it comes to preparing salmon, Pietron lovesto grill it. He suggests just salt, pepper and a dab ofbutter. He said it’s also delicious with a teriyaki orbarbecue sauce or even with fresh salsa.

“We like to bake it too,” he said.Salmon from Bristol Bay comes from the pure clean

waters of the Bering Sea and is both nutritious anddelicious. The Bristol Bay commercial salmon fisherydates back to the late-19th century and the Pietronfamily is proud to be part of that history. With contin-ued careful management they will be able to bringWhole Farm Cooperative customers wild-caught Bris-tol Bay salmon for years to come.

In fact, sustainable management of Alaska’s fish-eries is actually part of the state’s constitution.Alaskans take that constitutional provision seri-ously and are recognized worldwide for their sus-tainable fisheries practices. As part of the top-to-bottom system of sustainable management thesalmon and cod from the Pietron family and theircooperative are certified sustainable by a third-party certifier.

Seldom is something simple to make, and at thesame time, impressive to serve.

Today’s recipe definitely qualifies, especially if youare a lover of fresh pesto.

Every spring we plant basil in a gardening potand place it on our deck. Keeping it wateredthroughout the summer will produce more basilthan you can imagine, but the key is to keep itwatered.

If you like pesto, put a potted basil plant on yourlist of “to-dos” for next spring. And there is a bonus.Pesto is awesome to freeze for the winter, giving youthat fresh taste of summer when the thermometertells you the cold season has set in for a while.

If you are interested in seeing a video I shotfor this dish, go to my YouTube channel atYouTube.com/BBQMyWay and place“pesto salmon” in the search field.Liz’s Pesto Recipe

3 to 4 cups of fresh basil leaves1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil1/2 cup pine nuts2 to 4 cloves of garlic (depends on

how garlicky you want your pesto)1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt1 1/2 tsp. black pepperCoarsely chop the basil and garlic.

Place all ingredients except the oil in afood processor or blender with the basiland garlic. Pulse for a minute, and thenslowly drizzle oil onto the dry ingredi-ents, as you continue pulsing the mixture.

Scrape down the sides and pulse again. Add addi-tional oil if needed until it reaches the consistencyyou desire. (It should not be runny, but more of apaste.)

Take two pounds of a boneless salmon fillet (withthe skin preferably) and slice into serving sizes.Lightly salt and pepper the fillets. Take a tablespoonor so of pesto and smear it directly on the flesh sideof the salmon.Grill preparation and cooking

Seafood is a bit tricky, but don’t let it scare you. Ifthis is your first time, it is really important to buysalmon with the skin on. Either way, set up the grill

with indirect heat, meaning there are hot coalsbunched on one side of the grill.

Sprinkle the coals with wood chips. Oncethe grate has been over the hot coals for acouple of minutes, aggressively clean the hotportion with a steel brush. Spin the gratearound and do the same thing with the other

side of the grate.Take a wad of paper towel and drizzle

olive oil on it. Wipe down both sides ofthe grate. Be careful, obviously the hot sidewill be very hot. The oil will help preventthe fish from sticking.Place the salmon skin-side down on the

cool side of the grill. Place the lid on the grilland allow to cook for 10 minutes or so. After10 minutes, move the salmon (with a high-

quality spatula) to the hot end of the grill, flesh sidedown. If flaming starts, place lid on grill. This willadd color and texture to the salmon. The key is tohandle the fish as little as possible until it is done.This final stage will take no more than five minutes.

Bring it inside and enjoy. Oh, and this recipe couldbe used with any fish you like to grill, so if salmonisn’t your favorite fish, use the same technique withyour fish of choice.

Even though economic strugglescontinue around the globe, the U.S.pork industry will still be a majorcompetitor in world meat produc-tion. “We’re as competitive as hogproducers anywhere in the world,”according to Neil Dierks, CEO of theNational Pork Producers Council.

Crumbling live markets and higher feed costs havesqueezed profits totally out of the picture for manyswine producers, however. Last season’s drought onlyexacerbated the situation, Dierks said, and if that con-tinues into the 2013 season it poses serious ramifica-tions, especially with competition likely from Brazil.

So what’s positive about the U.S. swine industry?Infrastructure is a big one. “We’ve got roads and a

highway system that quickly and effortlessly lets usmove production to markets. Brazil still doesn’t,”Dierks said. But he’s concerned about severe regula-tions possibly ramping up in the hog industry.Already individual sow housing is banned in Aus-tralia and the United Kingdom.

“That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do things right,but we need to guard against burdensome regula-tions,” he said. “We need to become more transparentto the American consumer contrary to biosecurityissues.”

He acknowledged that Brazil appears to be having agreat crop production year. That could mean anincreasing livestock industry, hogs included. But Brazilhas some disease challenges within their hog industrythat seems to be slowing their export abilities.

Dierks suggested U.S. producers think less aboutfeed delivery issues and more about what’s ahead in

world issues. He said that with 27 percent of U.S.pork now being exported, the next farm bill has toavoid cataclysmic occurrences in foreign trade. Thoseexports amounted to $55 per pig value.

That’s why elimination of duties on pork trucked toMexico was such a major achievement. Free tradeagreements with Korea, Mexico and perhaps a grow-ing number of Asian countries are on the NPPC’sagenda. Dierks said the Japanese prime ministerwants his country included in the pending Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement. Dierks sees theTPPA as the biggest export opportunity for the U.S.swine industry.

“We’ve got a world population spiking to 8 billionand soon 9 billion. A growing question is how do wefeed them? Does the U.S. have a moral responsibilityto feed the world?” Dierks asked. In 1972 the UnitedStates was the biggest supplier of soybeans intoworld trade. Also in 1970-75 the U.S. imported morepork than it exported. It wasn’t until 1995 that theU.S. pork industry became a net exporter.

Along with those free trade agreements is theimportance of being a dependable supplier. Plus foodsafety issues are now inherent in food exports of anykind, pork included, Dierks said. He also noted thatthe Japanese farm lobby is strong. “But you have toremember that Japan is now a country of 130 millionpeople. Food security is a big deal over there but Idon’t suggest that issue will lessen the ‘politicalpower’ of the Japanese farm sector.”

What’s the long-term impact of China on the U. S.swine industry? For several years China has beenthe largest pork producer in the world, and they dohave a stated goal of becoming self-sustaining inpork production for their huge population. But hethinks the challenge for China will be not enougharable land to fulfill this ambition.

“Multiply the U.S. population by four; then attemptto position all of the agricultural land in the U.S. intothe area east of the Mississippi River,” Dierks said.“That’s the density challenge already faced inChina.” He thinks China will continue to be a marketfor U.S. corn and soybeans but not so for U.S. pork.His logic says debone our pork carcasses at U.S. pack-ing plants and send container pork to China ratherthan bulk shipments of corn and soybeans.

“It’s somewhat a transportation efficiency issue,”Dierks said. Even with increasing incomes andmore diversified tastes in the eating habits of theChinese people, he doubts the United States will besupplying China with a quarter of their pork.“Remember China is five times the size of our porkindustry. So just a 1-percent increase in domesticconsumption of U. S. pork in China would require1/20th of all our U.S. production. Anytime you mul-tiply 1.3 billion (China’s population) by 1 percentit’s a big number.”

How does a stagnant world economy impact thefuture of meats? He said the slowness seems to behaving more impact in developed nations such asthe United States and Europe. But in less-devel-oped countries where incomes have been increas-ing, the first trend for those people is to improvetheir diet. “And that first improvement they typi-cally make is to increase protein in their diet, in theform of meat,” Dierks said.

He said that 2011 was a record year of U.S. porkexports, and that it looks like 2012 will set anotherrecord. “Tough going right now for pork producers,but long-term I’m optimistic,” Dierks said. “We’llhave international markets as long as some cata-clysmic event doesn’t happen.”

Dierks was interviewed at a December meeting ofMinnesota Pork Producers Association. ❖

In view of the “golden years” ofeconomic prosperity that much ofagriculture has enjoyed the pastthree years, will the new Min-nesota legislature be responsive tothe concerns of Minnesota agricul-ture this session?

Perhaps that’s a tough questionto throw at Minnesota’s Department of AgricultureCommissioner Dave Frederickson. But this sea-soned pro thrives on such challenges.

“Yes, these good times for agriculture logically doimpact the thinking of our elected officials whenthey get into discussions on ‘farm stuff,’” Frederick-son said, but he pointed out that the budget andprogram activities of the MDA aren’t tied to howwell or how poorly Minnesota farmers are doing.

“I’ve already had discussions with numerous mem-bers of the Legislature,” he said. “I’ve sat down withmost of the key committee chair people and I don’tanticipate any real issues as we budget the next twoyears of our MDA activities.”

Some programs might come under scrutinybecause we’re in a budget squeeze, Frederickson said— he suggested that all state departments shouldshed some skin if that’s what needed to generate abalanced state budget for the next biennium.Issue of water

When questioned about the issue of water qualityand water usage, Frederickson said that water islikely to be a contentious issue if/when new bills areintroduced this session. Water was a focal point atthe recent Minnesota Organic Conference, withnoted University of Minnesota Extension climatolo-gist Mark Seeley pointing out that organic growerstoday are operating in a climate disparity totally dif-

ferent than their predecessors.Frederickson suggested it’s going to be a challenge

to identify quantitatively the culprits involved inwater quality issues. “But that doesn’t mean wewon’t have those discussions,” he said. “The Min-nesota Department of Agriculture is engaged in aMinnesota Ag Water Quality Certification program.This cuts across all participants pulling together sothat we don’t see regulations come down hard onfarmers.

“This is going to be a voluntary program askingthat producers step up and collectively work withMDA. We will make every effort to meet the chal-lenge and in the process assure water quality for allMinnesotans. But for that certainty let’s focus onBMPs (best management practices) that will be goodnot only for this season but for future generations.”Growing conference

His take on the 2013 Minnesota Organic Confer-ence? “Well, it just gets bigger each year,” Frederick-son said. “I can’t tell you where we rank across the

Dave Frederickson

See FREDERICKSON, pg. 11

FREDERICKSON, from pg. 10nation. Each of the states has programs inorganic farming but it’s the nature of Min-nesota to be leading in organic agriculture.

So how big is organic farming in Min-nesota? Doug Hartwig, Minnesota Agri-cultural Statistics director, said thataccording to the U.S. Department of Agri-culture’s Economic Research Service thestate had 543 farms (133,393 acres) certi-fied for organic production in 2011.Nationwide USDA data shows 12,941organic farms. California leads the packwith 2,887 farms; second is Wisconsin with 1,016certified organic farms.

“Ten years ago this event was held in a local Motel6 but here we are in the beautiful River’s Edge Con-ference Center in St. Cloud. Over 70 exhibitors in thetrade show and speakers and people from across theMidwest. This is a very positive, very optimistic envi-ronment. You can tell more and more people are get-ting excited about the future of organic food produc-tion.”Rising tide

Frederickson said the mood of Minnesota farmersthese days is good. “There’s been a lot of new wealthcreated in rural Minnesota and you know that whenfarmers have ‘new money’ in their pockets, it gener-ally gets spent. But we also recognize with cautionwhat’s going on with land values, with input costsand the increasing complexities of farmland transi-tion from one generation to the next.”

As the MDA chief he’s concerned about the eco-nomic imbalance currently between crop farmersand the livestock industry. He’s of the “old school”that free markets determine where we should be, sohe’s hopeful that “the rising tide will lift all boats” —

meaning livestock prices will go up.He said that 25 years ago farmers were being criti-

cized for complaining about farm income. But that’swhen some farmers with vision and leadershipdecided that an ethanol industry was one way toprop up the corn industry. Minnesota rapidly becamethe focus of the value-added cooperative movementacross America.Increased exports

Frederickson also credits a strong and growingexport market for Minnesota agricultural products.

Today nearly half of all Minnesota soy-beans get sold overseas; with pork it’s nowabout 27 percent to foreign markets. Hespeaks of the three-legged stool of Min-nesota agriculture: ethanol, exports andlivestock. He’s visiting Taiwan soon, hop-ing to make the country more aware ofMinnesota agricultural and food products.

“This small country imports 90 percentof their food needs. They have a thrivingeconomy. They are a bright star in thisgrowing Southeast Asia economy. Sowe’re hoping they’ll come to Minnesotaand make a major announcement about

purchasing Minnesota commodities, be that cerealgrains, soybeans, pork or beef products.”Big business

Frederickson pointed out that besides the state’s81,000 farms, Minnesota has nearly 1,000 agricul-tural and food companies and the state has severalprivately held firms with an agricultural focus onForbes’ list of America’s largest private companies.

Dave Frederickson was interviewed at the Jan. 11-12 Minnesota Organic Conference in St. Cloud. ❖

There’s been a lot of new wealth created in rural Min-nesota and you know that when farmers have ‘newmoney’ in their pockets, it generally gets spent. Butwe also recognize with caution what’s going on withland values, with input costs and the increasing com-plexities of farmland transition from one generation tothe next.

— Dave Frederickson


With nearly 20 percent of Min-nesota’s landscape now owned by thestate’s Department of NaturalResources, it seems somewhat logicalthat cattlemen who are gettingsqueezed for pasture land, becausegrowing corn generates more bucks,should have greater access to DNRland for summer grazing.

The Grazing Lands ConservationAssociation had a booth at the recentMinnesota Organic Conference in St.Cloud. The Land talked with ClarenceCaraway, GLCA president.

Q: Is the DNR still acquiringland?

Caraway: Yes, as farmers get olderand decide to discontinue farming,turning land to DNR for conversion to“native prairie” is pretty appealing.And DNR pays pretty well.

Q: Any problems with this

trend?Caraway: Yes, we don’t have native

buffalos roaming the prairie anymore.You need livestock on this land to keepit healthy. I’m talking keeping the soilactive, growing and even helpful forthe deer.

Q: How does that work?Caraway: Every time a hoofed ani-

mal steps it makes an impression inthat soil. And that’s not compaction.

That’s bringing light and oxygen to adeeper part of the soil; not just the sur-face. This “churning up” of the soil putslife into the soil. You’ve created anatmosphere for the microbiological“bugs” in the soil to work better andthat in turn increases the vegetativegrowth. In essence, you’re increasingthe productivity of the soil.

Q: So how many acres have DNRnow permitted to livestock pro-ducers for grazing? What’s thecharge?

Caraway: It varies from area toarea. There’s no set policy nor is therea set rental rate. But I do know thatMark Hayek, the Natural ResourcesConservation Service grazing special-ist at Thief River Falls, Minn., hasabout 15,000 acres of DNR land nowfenced and into cattle grazing produc-tion. Rentals vary considerably but$30 to $60 per acre would likely cap-ture most.

Q: How does DNR qualify per-sons for “usage” of their land?

Caraway: DNR doesn’t want anyoneusing the land that sets the land back-wards. They want users who canincrease the production of this land.We’ve taken DNR land and established

paddocks, both grazed and ungrazedpaddocks, side by side, and then set upmotion cameras. What did the camerashow us? The wildlife followed the live-stock. The deer, the rabbits, the fowlfollowed the livestock. There was nowildlife in those paddocks that weren’tgrazed.

Q: And why is this happening?Caraway: Because the vegetation in

the non-grazed paddocks had no feedvalue. You’re talking weeds, buckbrush and rough vegetation that justdidn’t interest wildlife. Put cattle orsheep on these grounds and the “junkvegetation” disappears and you soonstart having productive soils growinggood-tasting forages.

Q: So why doesn’t DNR makemore land available for grazing?

Caraway: They are but it movesslowly. It’s easy to be overly protectivebut in the process ignore the real bene-fits. It’s somewhat true, too, that DNRhas so much land that they can’t moni-tor it properly. We’re making progress.We need to pool our collective knowl-edge and work together.

— Clarence Caraway


Ken Varland, Minnesota Department of NaturalResources regional wildlife manager at New Ulm,said that in his Southern DNR Region, CooperativeFarming Agreements in 2012 totaled 15 covering1,677 acres. He sees this number increasing in thenext several years.

Any cattleman interested in possible grazing on DNRlands should contact the area wildlife manager in theirvicinity. Names can be obtained via a PDF file on theDNR website —http://files.dnr.state.mn.us/contact/wildlife_managers.pdf— or log on to the main DNR website atwww.dnr.state.mn.us.

Rental rates for grazing? “We use a barter arrange-ment and there are currently no rental feeds for theagreement. Instead the cattle producer gets thegrass and DNR gets the habitat management bene-fits,” Varland said. He added that some areas use anag lease arrangement. Each agreement has its ownspecific requirements and in some cases cattle pro-ducers will have to supply fencing which generally istemporary electric.

Varland also said that the goal of grazing is tointroduce some disturbance to the grassland site toimprove wildlife habitat quality. Each site has agrazing plan geared to desired habitat outcomes fol-lowing the grazing (species composition, stand vigor,desired nesting and brood cover needs, etc.). Thehabitat outcomes dictate the timing, duration andintensity of the grazing. Often the grazing is done ina single year but may need to be repeated every fewyears.

“Grazing is one of the tools we use to managegrassland habitats,” Varland said. “We also use mow-ing, hay harvest and burning. The primary goal is tobenefit the wildlife habitat. If the cattle benefit also,that is great. A closely managed grazing regime can

be positive for everyone, especially the wild crittersand the sportsmen we are trying to benefit.

“Renowned conservationist Aldo Leopold wrotethat the five tools needed for conservation are ‘theax, the match, the cow, the plow and the gun.’” ❖

In addition the GLCA, MinnesotaChapter, has established a grassrootsmentoring system that connects expe-rienced livestock producers across thestate who have agreed to provide guid-ance and counsel to interested ranch-ers and agency personnel on grassland

management.These mentors are donating their

time but are willing to discuss grazingand forage management; fencing; live-stock watering systems; livestockmovement; objective/goal setting; andeconomics and record keeping. U.S.Department of Agriculture data indi-cates about 2.5 million acres of Min-nesota crop land is grazing land.

“When I started in the cattle busi-ness,” Caraway said, “$450 an acre wasthe most I could pay for pasture land tohave a cow pay for the cost. Now we’vegot pasture land and hunting land sell-

ing for $2,000 an acre. Your cash flowprojections on your cows just don’t work.

“With mentoring I can help a youngcattleman not make the same mistakesI made. I learned, for example, that byrotational grazing I can run 30 percentmore cattle on the same acres. DNRneeds to understand these issues.”

Cattlemen aren’t going to put upfences on this DNR land unless theyhave at least three-year leases. Someorganizations, such as the The NatureConservancy are putting up their ownfence so working with them is anoption.

Membership in GLCA is $20 per year.Contact Caraway at (507) 368-9437 [email protected], or GLCA secre-tary-treasurer Nathan Redalen at(507) 282-8051. NRCS grazing special-ist Mark Hayak can be reached [email protected] or (218)681-6600, Ext. 108. ❖

By CAROLYN VAN LOHThe Land Correspondent

People driving through the country-side of rural Minnesota have probablyseen a colorful billboard proclaiming“Minnesota Farmers Care.”

Ken Floren of Litchfield, Minn.,likens those billboards to “preaching tothe choir” because most of the peopletraveling state and county roads real-ize that Minnesota farmers are goodstewards of their land and take goodcare of their animals.

Floren worked full time in the metro-politan area until he retired. “I was aweekend farmer with my dad,” he said.“When I retired at 65 years of age, Ibegan farming full time.” He alsojoined the Meeker County FarmBureau and serves as the county’s pro-motion and education chairman.

Early in 2012 his county Farm Bureauboard was discussing ways to promoteagriculture by “preaching to the audi-ence.” While working in the Minneapo-lis-St. Paul area for many years, Florenremembered seeing metropolitan tran-sit buses moving around the city withadvertising banners on their sides. Hesuggested that putting an agriculturalmessage on buses would reach the audi-ence the board wanted to reach: metro-

politan consumers.“We started kind of late,” Floren said,

“but people at the Minnesota FarmBureau guided us to our goal.” A grantfrom the Minnesota Farm BureauFoundation and donations from 22county Farm Bureaus provided themoney needed. As a result, the “Min-nesota Farmers CARE” message trav-eled around Minneapolis and St. Paulon 33 to 49 buses for 16 weeks.

According to Titan Ad Agency of Min-neapolis, which carried out the project,the bus-based message reached “91.7percent of the population 9.1 times

with 17,482,400 impressions.”The program was one of 20 county

projects recognized by the AmericanFarm Bureau Federation at its Januaryannual meeting in Nashville. Florenand his wife, Adele, talked about theprogram during the AFBF meeting. ❖

Like all hunters, Sam Goreand Jack Zimmerman ofCleveland, Minn., ClaytonHoen of Madison Lake,Minn., and Jason McNa-mara, Luke Weinandt andMike McLaughlin ofMankato, Minn., share acommon bond in their loveof the outdoors.

But when the young mentraveled together to Ply-mouth, Mass., earlier thisyear to hunt sea ducks, they shared yetone more special bond: All of themreceived either combat-related or serv-ice-related injuries during their mili-tary service.

The six men, along with local guidesfrom the area, hunted for two days inthe area for brandt and eider.

“Eiders are about the size of a smallCanada goose but they’re fast,”McLaughlin said. “They’re so big itdoesn’t seem like they’re flying thatfast.”

Nevertheless, the Midwesternhunters soon caught on to the unfamil-iar waterfowl. Over two days of hunt-ing, everyone shot limits of both brandtand eiders.

They also did somesight-seeing along thecoast and dropped inat a local AmericanLegion post wherethey were invited bylocal vets to partici-pate in a weeklypoker tournament.

The group traveledto the Cape Cod Bayarea through theWounded Warriors

Guide Service, an organizationwith the mission of connectingwounded veterans with huntingand other outdoor activities.

A local chapter of WoundedWarriors was formed lastNovember by area veterans.

“There was a Wounded War-riors chapter in Bemidji and onein North Dakota,” McLaughlinsaid. “Some of us were invitedlast year to a group metro goosehunt by the Bemidji Chapter anddecided it would be a good thing toform a chapter down here.”

Sea duck hunting expedition a blast for Wounded Warriors

THE OUTDOORS

WOUNDED, from pg. 17duty in Iraq as a Marine and was diagnosed withpost traumatic stress syndrome, said spending timein a hunting blind is always special but sharing itother vets who have endured the same combatexperiences is particularly cathartic.

“It’s something where you really don’t need wordswhen you’re out there,” he said. “You don’t ask toomany questions, you know to ask just enough.Being out there is kind of a mental massage — youcome back refreshed.”

Zimmerman, who was severely wounded by animprovised explosive device in 2011 while servingin Afghanistan with the U.S. Army, echoedMcLaughlin’s sentiments about shared experiences.

“It’s about getting back to old hobbies and pas-sions you were no longer able to do,” he said. “Goingout with guys who have the same past experiences,you can tackle just about anything.”

Indeed, in spite of his wounds which included theloss of both legs and a severely damaged right hand,the avid hunter has participated in several huntsthrough Wounded Warriors and similar organiza-tions, including a trip out west where he bagged a

six-by-six bull elk.But he said the Wounded Warriors Guide Service

has offered some practical advantages, as well.“I met a guy through Wounded Warriors whose left

hand was damaged,” he said. “Now when I buy gloves, Isend him my right hands, he sends me his lefts.”

The East Coast hunt came about through connec-

tions that Mankato Chapter President LukeWeinandt made with local guides while visiting rela-tives about a year ago.

Now, after getting the groundwork completed tohold the inaugural hunt, plans are to make theadventure an annual event that can be offered toother area wounded veterans through the localWounded Warriors chapter.

Since it’s not just the veterans themselves who feelthe effects of combat injuries, he said that in thefuture, the group has plans for outdoor events tobring families together as well.

Grain prices are effective cash close on Jan. 29. The price index chart compares an average of most recently reported local cash prices with the same average for a year ago.*Cash grain price change represents a two-week period.

Grain AnglesKeep corn-on-cornyield drag in mindThe winter weather this year has been atypical for

Minnesota.The lack of significant snowfall for much of the

state has left many fields uncovered and subject tothe harsh winds. More concerning is the dry condi-tions that exist in many of the growing areas of thestate.

Informa, a private researchfirm, is forecasting that U.S.farmers will plant 99.303 millionacres of corn this spring. Addi-tionally, they are forecasting that78.777 million acres of soybeanswill be planted. We expect thatthe 76 million acres that were insoybeans last year will beplanted to corn. This leaves 23million acres that will have to betaken from other crops or plantedas corn-on-corn.

These continuous crop cornacres could be subject to a yield drag of 10 to 15bushels per acre. So if one is normally growing 185bu./acre corn, they could be looking at a yield of 175to 170 bu./acre yields. This yield drag at current newcrop prices would reduce revenue by $60 to $90/acre.

The cost of production would also be higher onthese acres as they would require more tillage, fer-tilizer and root worm protection. These extra costscould run from $60 to $90/acre more than the tradi-tional corn-soybean rotation. As margin manage-ment calculations are prepared, it’s important toaccount for these extra costs along with the lowerrevenue.

With the current dry soil conditions and the poten-

Grain OutlookCorn drifts to lower

end of rangeThe following market analysis is for the week end-

ing Jan. 25.CORN — After beginning the holiday-shortened

week on a bright note, corn drifted toward the lowerend of the recent trading range as it wrestled to findsomething to propel it to the next level.

It seemed most of the news wasjust a rehash confirmation thatcorn export demand is dismal,South American crops are not inthe bin yet, and something needsto happen to push us out of therecent range.

Weekly export sales need toaverage 15.6 million bushels perweek to attain the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture forecast for950 million bushels of exports.This week’s sales were a measly5.5 million bushels for old cropand 2 million for new crop. Thus far, weekly cornsales have only surpassed 10 million once in the lastsix weeks. Total commitments are down 50 percentyear on year when the USDA is showing a 38-percentdecline on the balance sheets.

Many will expect the USDA to trim the export cat-egory on their February report. This situation couldbe partially offset by any delay in South Americanshipments. Reportedly, Brazil’s corn boat lineup isrecord large for this time of year. The Rosario GrainExchange raised their corn production figure forArgentina from 24 million metric tons to 26.5 mmtand compared to the USDA’s 28 mmt estimate.

A leading ethanol company announced they willclose a 46-million-gallon Missouri plant at the end of

Livestock AnglesCattle marketerratic lately

It has been a rocky and erratic January in the live-stock trade.

Both cattle and hog markets have had their upsand downs in price movement. As Februaryapproaches, both of these markets will continue tosee a lot of volatility and price movement in bothdirections.

The cattle market has been par-ticularly erratic as of late. After afairly quick and large decline inprices, the market now appears tobe stabilizing. A drop in beefcutouts plus the closing of a beefpacking plant in Plainview,Texas, precipitated the rapiddecline in prices on both thefutures and cash.

However, on Jan. 25, the U.S.Department of Agriculturereleased a monthly Cattle-on-Feed Report which indicated the following as of Jan.1: on-feed, 94 percent; placed during December, 99percent; marketed in December, 98 percent. Thisreport was seen as friendly as placements werebelow pre-report guesses, while the marketed num-ber was above expectations.

The cash and futures had already begun to recoverfrom the recent sell-off before the report, but this willadd to the bullish sentiment. With the beef cutoutsnow below $190 per hundredweight, the questionwill become will demand resurface and eventuallypush prices higher. For the short term this is entirelypossible. However with the advent of the increase ofadditional taxes and the decline of disposableincome, the consumer will be squeezed making lesslikely that demand will substantially increase.

NYSTROM, from pg. 19the month due to a shortage of localcorn and negative margins. Weeklyethanol production was up 8,000 barrels per day to792,000 barrels/day this week, but we need to aver-age closer to 808,000 to reach the USDA forecast of4.5 billion bushels of corn for ethanol.

The Jan. 25 cattle-on-feed report will cast a shadowover corn with its less-than-expected on-feed numberof 94 percent versus 95 percent expected and place-ments of 99 percent versus 103 percent estimated. Onthe positive side, basis levels are beginning to firmwith extremely slow grower sales.

OUTLOOK: The recent trading range from $7.121/4 to $7.35 remains intact, ending the week in neu-tral. March corn was down 6 3/4 cents for the week,settling at $7.20 3/4 per bushel.

The December contract at $5.84 1/4 was off 6 1/4cents for the week. Dismal export activity, the possi-bility that more ethanol plants may curtail produc-tion, and the big Brazilian export line-up may limitthe near-term upside, but domestic demand andminimal producer sales should keep basis firm andblock any extreme sell-offs.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans managed to extend theuptrend after a choppy trading week.

The March contract traded to its highest level in amonth before retracing into the $14.08 to $14.60range. Underlying support to the soy complex con-tinues to be the strong export pace. Weekly export

sales were 14.1 million bushels oldcrop and 21.9 million new crop.Next week’s new crop sales will also be

unusually large after China bought 510,000 mt andunknown bought 113,000 mt of new crop soybeans. Chinaalso purchased 120,000 mt of optional origin new cropbeans. Is this protection against a possible replay of lastyear’s drought situation? Total export commitments arenow at the 90-percent level of the USDA’s yearly projection.Bean sales are up 27 percent year-on-year when the USDAhas a 1 percent decline penciled in the balance sheets.

Meal sales are up 43 percent from a year ago whenthe USDA is forecasting an 11-percent decline. Oilcommitments are the most impressive, up 270 per-cent from a year ago with the USDA predicting a 47-percent increase.

The status of South American weather will exertan increasing influence over price direction in thenext few months. Brazil’s current boat lineup isreportedly the largest ever for this time of year. Withrecord boat lineups in both corn and beans, logisticalproblems developing is likely.

And just to make things interesting, Brazil passeda new law restricting drivers to eight-hour workdays that could drive up the cost of shipping 50 per-cent during harvest. Early harvested beans fromnorthern Brazil are being counted on to fulfill thatdemand and if the rainy pattern continues, shippingdelays could push sales back to the United States.

The Mato Grosso region has harvested 7 percent of theirbean crop as compared to 6 percent on average and 3 per-

cent last year, with reports of yields running as expectedat 44.5 bushels per acre. Safras upped their Brazilian pro-duction number from 84.3 mmt to 84.7 mmt.

Argentina, wet too early in the season, is now fac-ing their fifth week of dryness. Warmer tempera-tures may also be coming into play. Oil World did cuttheir Argentine production estimate by 1 mmt to 52mmt (USDA is 54 mmt).

OUTLOOK: March soybeans gained 11 3/4 centsfor the week, closing at $14.41. November beans at$13.03 were 10 3/4 cents higher for the week.

How Brazil will be able to perform on their exportprogram, Argentina’s weather concerns, the possibil-ity of sales switching from South America back tothe United States, and firming basis levels give theedge to keeping a risk premium in the market.

The larger range for March beans is $14 to $15 perbushel.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week endingJan. 25: Minneapolis wheat fell 9 cents for the week,Chicago lost 14 3/4 cents and Kansas City declined 14 1/4cents. Nearby crude oil at $95.88 was down 16 cents, heat-ing oil was up almost a half cent,gasoline jumped up 7 1/2cents and natural gas dropped 12 1/4 cents. The U.S. dol-lar index was off 0.298 ticks at 79.738. The USDA’s firstideas on the 2013-14 crop year will be revealed at the AgOutlook Forum Feb. 21-22 in Washington, D.C.

TEALE, from pg. 19Producers should take heed in the fact that inven-

tories of cattle are on the decline, but at the sametime demand for beef is also on the decline. There-fore, price protection should not be overlooked whenopportunity presents itself.

The hog market has been a bit more stable than thecattle market of late. Hog prices have been improvingoverall since the low made in September. The hogsappear to be driven by a renewed demand for porkproducts, and packers have been fairly aggressive inbidding for live inventory over the past few months.

Pork cutouts have been stable to rising and the vol-ume in pork product has been extremely good reflect-

ing in the stronger prices since September. Hog num-bers seem to have declined during this period andwith the cold weather this has combined to reducethe available numbers ready for market.

Comparing beef cutouts to pork cutouts, it is no surprisethat the value in meat is slanted toward the pork products.Considering the slow economic conditions that exist, theretailer and the consumer have moved more toward thepork products to capture the better value pork. While theoutlook for hog prices looks relatively good, the fact thatdemand could shift once again to another protein sourcecould limit how far prices can advance.

Producers should remain aware of market condi-tions and protect inventories as warranted. ❖

NEHER, from pg. 19tial for another dry growing season, it’s important toconsider the drought tolerance of corn and soybeans.Would the yield drag be significantly larger on corn-on-corn acres in dry growing conditions, than itwould be with corn grown in the corn-soybean rota-tion? The answer is a resounding yes. The yield dragwould be significantly larger on corn grown continu-ously, year to year in a drought.

As I ran the numbers through my margin managercalculator, it always looked like the profitability wasin growing corn over soybeans. Yet, when I run theyield drag numbers and the higher cost of production

into my calculator the advantage to corn starts toslip away on these corn-on-corn acres. This is thecase even before I try to factor in the additional yielddrag in dry growing conditions.

So the question begs to be asked: will U.S. farmersreally plant 99.303 million acres of corn? If theymake their planting decisions by the numbers, theanswer may be no. Yet many make planting decisionsby what they like to grow and what worked last year.Farmers like to grow corn and they made a bundle ofmoney growing it last year. Crop insurance also pro-vides a sense of security in growing corn. Only timewill tell. ❖

Question: Just how much corn will be grown in ’13?

Meat value slanted toward pork products

This column was writtenfor the marketing week end-ing Jan. 25.

Two U.S. Department ofAgriculture reports fed thedairy market bears thisweek. Preliminary data inthe December Milk Produc-tion report put output in thetop 23 dairy states at 15.7billion pounds, up 800 mil-lion pounds from Novemberand a hefty 1.7 percentabove December 2011.

The 50-state output,at 16.8 billion pounds,was up 1.6 percent. Revisions added 31million pounds to the November datapushing output to 14.9 billion, up 1.3percent from a year ago.

The preliminary 2012 50-state milkproduction total came to 200.3 billionpounds, up 4 billion pounds or 2.1 per-cent from 2011. Cow numbers averaged9.23 million head, up 37,000. Output per

cow averaged 21,697 pounds,up 352 pounds. December cownumbers in the top 23 dairystates stood at 8.49 millionhead, up 16,000 from Novem-ber and 5,000 above a yearago. Output per cow averaged1,848 pounds, up 30 from ayear ago.

California output inDecember was down 2.3 per-cent due to a drop of 45

pounds per cow and 6,000fewer cows. But, Wis-consin was up 5.5 per-cent on a 90-pound gain

per cow and 5,000 more cows. Idahowas up 1 percent on a 20-pound gainper cow though cow numbers weresteady. New York was up 4.2 percent ona 75-pound gain per cow. Pennsylvaniawas up 1.2 percent thanks to a 35-pound gain per cow, but cow numbersdropped 5,000 head. Minnesota was up4.4 percent, thanks to a 70-pound gainper cow. Declines in state output were

small, the biggest occurring in Califor-nia, but the gains were strong.

Kansas had the biggest increase, up10 percent. Michigan was up 5.5 per-cent on a 70-pound gain per cow and7,000 more cows. New Mexico was off0.3 percent despite a 75-pound gain percow but cow numbers were down13,000. Texas was off 0.7 percent on adrop of 5 pounds per cow and 2,000fewer cows.

The USDA’s Livestock Slaughterreport showed an estimated 258,800culled dairy cows were slaughteredunder federal inspection in December,down 10,000 from November and 3,100less than December 2011. The total2012 dairy cow slaughter was esti-mated at 3.1 million head, up 187,500from 2011 and the highest since 1986,the year the USDA began differentiat-ing dairy cow slaughter from total cow

slaughter.■

The bears fed off the USDA’s latestCold Storage data which pegged Dec.31 butter holdings at 152.9 millionpounds, up 25.6 million pounds or 20percent from November and a whop-ping 46 million or 43 percent aboveDecember 2012.

American cheese, at 604.9 millionpounds, was up 4 percent fromNovember but 1 percent below a yearago. The total cheese inventory, at987.9 million pounds, was up 5 per-cent from November and unchangedfrom a year ago.

The cash block cheese price lost 4.25cents in the shortened Martin LutherKing Jr. Day holiday week, dipping to$1.6450 per pound, the lowest level

See MIELKE, pg. 23

MIELKE, from pg. 22expect U.S. dairy export value to Chinacould more than double by 2017.” Theissue dates back to early 2010 whenChina revised its dairy certificate aspart of sweeping efforts to upgradedomestic food safety, according to theUSDEC.

The National Milk Producers Federa-tion praised the resolution, calling it ameasure that “provides certainty toU.S. dairy exporters in order toenhance U.S.-China dairy trade,” andNMPF praised Senate Majority LeaderHarry Reid’s decision this week to putthe farm bill near the top of the list ofthings to do in 2013. An NMPF pressrelease called it “good news for Amer-ica’s dairy farmers, who need leaders inthe Senate and House to renew theirpush this year for a better farm bill.”

Sen. Reid introduced the 2013 farmbill as S. 10, making it part of a shortlist of priority pieces of legislation foraction in the Senate. The NMPF saidReid’s decision “recognizes that thedairy policy reforms contained in thebill, along with other provisions in themeasure, passed with overwhelming,bipartisan support last summer. Thebill’s Dairy Security Act will give farm-ers a better safety net while reducingtaxpayer costs at a time when Con-gress is searching for ways to trim fed-eral spending.”

■

DairyBusiness Updatereports that USDA’s Farm Ser-vice Agency released additional infor-mation regarding the Milk Income LossContract program, promising a “startmonth” relief period for dairy farmersproducing more milk than the MILCpayment cap of 2.985 million poundsper year. The length of the relief periodwill be announced later, according to anotice sent to state and county FSAoffices on Jan. 24.

Many of the details in the notice werealready anticipated. Under the Ameri-can Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, signedinto law by President Obama on Jan. 2,virtually all dates regarding MILCpayment calculations, price triggersand adjusters and payment caps werechanged from “2012” to “2013.”

As a result of legislative changes,retroactive MILC payments were trig-gered for September and October 2012.The September 2012 payment is 59.44cents per hundredweight. The Octoberpayment is 2.37 cents.

However, with the low October 2012payment, the first month of fiscal 2013,of just over 2 cents/cwt., most largerproducers would not have chosen tokeep October as their “start month,”especially with MILC payments fore-cast to be higher in 2013. Because pro-ducers were not able to make timely

“start month”selections for fis-

cal year 2013, theFSA will authorize a “relief period” (tobe announced), allowing MILC partici-pants to select any “start month” in fis-cal year 2013.

The DBU also reported that the bookon the “Southeast Milk” class actionantitrust lawsuit may finally be reach-ing its final chapter. On Jan. 21, theday before the trial was to begin, a$158.6 million settlement agreementwas reached between lawyers repre-senting dairy farmer plaintiffs andremaining defendants in the suit DairyFarmers of America; Mid-Am CapitalLLC; National Dairy Holdings LP; andGary Hanman, the former DFA CEO.

The U.S. District Court for the East-ern District of Tennessee approved thesettlement on Jan. 22. According to theagreement, defendants will pay $140million in a one-time cash settlement.Of that total, the DFA will pay $70 mil-

lion; $50 million will be paid byNational Dairy Holdings, which theDFA sold to Grupo LaLa in 2009; and$20 million will be paid by Mid-AmCapital, the DFA’s finance subsidiary.It was unclear whether Hanman willbe required to make personal pay-ments. The DFA admitted no wrongdo-ing in agreeing to the settlement,according to DBU.

An additional $9.3 million per yearfor two years will be placed in a fundto guarantee stronger Class I (fluidmilk) utilization in Appalachian (No.5) and Southeast (No. 7) federalorders. A “fairness hearing” on the set-tlement is scheduled for April 3, atwhich time dairy farmers can speakon the agreement, according to theDBU.

By SARAH JOHNSONThe Land Correspondent

Quick question: Who among usshould really eat more vegetables?

Answer: Probably all of us. Evenmany vegetarians don’t eat enoughvegetables. (After all, most junk foodis meatless.) It’s not that hard to do,but somehow we just don’t.

With those two facts in mind — weshould eat more veggies, but don’t — anew cookbook, “Eat Your Vegetables”by Arthur Potts Dawson (OctopusBooks), proposes to help us out by pre-senting simple, interesting and inspir-ing vegetable dishes we can all relateto. Most everything that comes out ofthe ground turns into comfort food inDawson’s capable hands, and veggiesoften become the stars of the plateinstead of being relegated to side-dishstatus.

Here are some samplerecipes to whet your appetiteand get you thinking aboutyour next grocery list.

■

Fancy steak houses oftenserve creamed spinach withtheir high-priced meals, andif you taste this next dish youwill see why. The slightly bit-ter flavor of spinach is mel-lowed by the cream sauce and season-ings, making a perfect pairing with redmeats, especially a really good steak.Creamed Spinach with Garlic andShallots

3 tablespoons olive oil2 shallots, finely chopped2 garlic cloves, finely chopped4 pounds 8 ounces raw spinachJuice of one lemon

1/2 teaspoon salt1 cup heavy creamPepperHeat the olive oil in a large saucepan,

and cook the shallots and garlic overmedium heat for 5 minutes, stirring fre-quently. Meanwhile, wash the spinachwell in cold water, drain and shake offthe excess water, then roughly chop.Add the spinach to the pan, increasethe heat and cook, stirring well, untilthe liquid has evaporated. The spinachwill be cooked at this stage.

Squeeze in the lemon juice, then addthe salt and cream. Season with pepperand cook for about 5 minutes, until thecream has slightly thickened. Servehot, but I’ve eaten this cold as a left-over, and it’s wicked that way, too.

■

The author suggests the next recipefor a variety of greens. I used spinachinstead of green curly kale for mar-velous results. Both the cooking methodand the strong seasonings temper thebitterness you may have experiencedwith leafy greens before. Next time I’m

going to throw in somediced bacon or smoked ham.Four out of four “yums” fromthe Johnson test kitchen.Braised Curly Kale withGarlic and Soy Sauce

1 pound 2 ounces greencurly kale

3 tablespoons virgin olive oil1 teaspoon chopped fresh

red chili1 garlic clove, chopped2 teaspoons light soy sauceSalt and pepperRemove any yellowing bits or tough

stalks from the kale, then reserve theleaves in cold water. Bring a largesaucepan of water to a boil and seasonwith salt. Drain the kale, add to thepan, and cook for 6 minutes. Drainagain and keep warm. Heat the olive oilin a skillet, add the chili and garlic, andfry gently for about 3 minutes, until thegarlic begins to brown. Immediately putthe cooked kale into the pan and stirwell. Season lightly with pepper andthe soy sauce, and cook for 4 minutes,stirring frequently. Serve warm.

■

The idea behind Kohl Slaw (which isjust like regular cole slaw but calls forkohlrabi instead of cabbage as the mainingredient) is to mix up a three-veg-etable-and-mayo slaw, then add what-ever accouterments you like. In thiscase, the author added his favorites:capers, pomegranate seeds and pine

Dawson’s Caesar Salad takes you intothe process of making authentic Caesarsalad dressing, which involves littlecanned fishes called anchovies that youprobably think you hate but you reallydon’t, especially when they’re mixedwith all sorts of other delicious things.The anchovies are what gives Caesardressing its signature tang, so just get acan and give them a shot. They areextremely salty, so if you test-taste one,be prepared.

Chicken Caesar SaladDressing4 anchovy fillets3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan

cheese2 egg yolks2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce1 garlic cloveJuice of 1 lemon3/4 cup olive oilSalt and pepperSalad2 chicken breastsOlive oil, for drizzling1 French baguette3 hard-boiled eggs2 heads of Romaine lettuce6 tablespoons salted capers, soaked in

cold water for 10 minutes, drained andsqueezed dry

4 ounces Parmesan cheese shavingsPreheat the oven to 375 F. For the

dressing, put all the ingredients exceptthe olive oil into a blender and blenduntil you have a smooth paste. With themotor still running, drizzle in the oil,not too much to start with, but addingit more rapidly as the mixture thickens.Check for seasoning and set aside.

Put the chicken breasts in a roastingpan, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinklewith salt and pepper. Roast for 25 min-utes. Cut the bread into 3/4-inchchunks, spread out on a baking sheet,and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 6-8minutes until golden brown, turningonce or twice during cooking, thenallow to cool. Shell the eggs and cutinto quarters. Separate the lettuce

leaves, trim, then wash and dry in asalad spinner. Place in large bowl. Cutthe chicken into large chunks and putinto lettuce bowl. Add the baguettecroutons, capers and eggs. Pour in mostof the dressing and delicately mixtogether. Plate the salad, sprinkle withthe Parmesan shavings and drizzlewith the last of the dressing.

As winter break comes to a close, numerous stu-dents find themselves back at home with a fridgefull of leftovers. For many pet owners,this means fewer trips to the store forpet food.

While sharing lunch with your four-legged friend is possible, owners shouldrealize that your pet has particulardietary restrictions it must follow to guar-antee that it stays happy and healthy.

“People enjoy sharing food with theirpets; it is part of the bonding process,”said Deb Zoran, doctor of veterinarymedicine, and associate professor atTexas A&M College of VeterinaryMedicine & Biomedical Sciences.“But proper control of the types andamounts of food pets are served iscrucial for its safety.

“For example, a diet consisting too high of fats canbe very dangerous for dogs, even causing such prob-

lems as diarrhea or in severe cases ofpancreatitis,” Zoran said. “The addi-

tional calories found in averagetable foods can also lead to

obesity problems in yourpet if not controlled.”These problems arise not

from the food itself, as wholefoods such as meat and pota-toes are nutritious and welldigested, but from the many

spices added and the food notbeing in the proper balance for

the pet.“The food itself is perfectly good for our

pets,” Zoran said. “If owners want to feed‘human food’, and are willing to follow pre-scribed recipes set up by a nutritionist, thenit is an excellent way to meet their nutri-

tional needs.”Choosing to feed your pet in this fashion also leaves

the owner with the responsibility formeeting their pet’s proper nutritionalneeds, which are different for dogsand cats. Chicken is an excellent andfrequently used meat source to feedpets, with the fat removed for dogsand left in place for cats.

“Generally high-fat things arepotentially very problematic fordogs, while cats don’t need carbs intheir diets at all,” Zoran said.“Spices and seasonings, especiallyonions, capsaicin and other addi-tives are all potentially problematicin your pet food as well.”

Generally high-fat things arepotentially veryproblematic fordogs, whilecats don’t needcarbs in theirdiets at all.

— Deb Zoran

Within a small group ofintroductions and privateconversation I learned thatGrace, a worship leaderthat I greatly admire, hasbeen leading worship withColleen since 1981. Withintheir 32 years of music min-istry these beautiful womenhave had seven children(collectively), 11 recordingsand countless wonderfulpraise and worship events.The longevity of their com-mitment is inspiring and, in a word,rare.

Grace acknowledged it by sayingthat words like perseverance,longevity and endurance are not popu-lar in our culture. She’s right. We livein an age that when the going getstough, the tough move on. They shopfor different neighborhoods, spouses,jobs and churches. If you’re unhappyyou get out of Dodge rather than stayput and make an unpleasant placebetter. If it looks greener on the otherside of the fence, you move instead ofrealizing that your circumstances aregreen pastures to someone else. Trulyit’s a sad commentary that we’re mod-eling for the next generation.

On the six-hour drive home after myconversation with Grace I gave ourwords deeper thought. One of theexceptions to the run-when-things-get-tough is farming. There are CenturyFarms when a single family continu-

ously owns a farm for 100years or more. Plus someregions have Sesquicenten-nial Farms (150 years) andBicentennial Farms (200years) programs. This islongevity. This is exemplaryin our transient culture.

Is there a time to moveon? There certainly is, but itshouldn’t be founded on ourdiscomfort level. Instead itshould be based on motives.Are we moving on because

we’re looking for escape or because weknow that we’re being nudged, calledand moved to the next thing withinthe story we’re writing with our lives?There’s a difference. Is the move forpersonal comfort or out of prayerful,thoughtful steps to the next phase ofour lives for the benefit and blessingof others?

In word pictures that farm familiescan easily identify with Dennis andBarbara Rainey wrote, “Pulling weedsand planting seeds. That’s the story oflife. We are individual lots on whicheither weeds of selfishness or fruit ofthe Holy Spirit grows and flourishes.”

When we make our choices to stay orto go, to invest or to bail, to stay put orget out of Dodge, what is our heartmotive? Are we selfishly seeking easystreet or are we looking at what’s bestfor others — especially the next gener-ation? Pastor and best selling authorRick Warren writes, “Don’t be wishing

you were someplace else or with some-one else. Where you are right now isGod’s place for you.”

If you can invest in more lives, domore good and bless more people bymaking a change in your life: Go!Those who are initially disappointedin your choice will support you intime. Even if they don’t, you’ll havepeace that you did what was rightbecause you’ll so clearly see it in thenew chapter that He writes with yourstory.

There is a time to plant seeds and a

time to uproot, a time to stay put anda time to leave. Seek wise counsel.Examine your heart and its motives.Think about the story your choice willwrite for this generation and thenext. And then choose. As has beenwisely said, “Nobody can go back andstart a new beginning, but anyonecan start today and make a new end-ing.”

After Super Bowl Sunday, your week-ends will suddenly be wide open andempty.

No more extra televisions in the livingroom. No more Sunday snack-binging.You’ve put away your make-up, yourlucky shirts and the hats that no teamcan win without.

It’s enough to make a grown (wo)mancry.

Yes, football season is over for you. Butfor 32 men, the end of one season signalsthe beginnings of another — that is, ifthey still have jobs. In the new book“Coaching Confidential” by Gary Myers,you’ll read about a very unique club.

It’s all about the Trophy.The Vince Lombardi Trophy, to be

exact: a big pieceof metal thatforces NFLcoaches to“(drag) theirfamilies fromcity to city asthey go from jobto job ...” sayssportswriterMyers.

The Trophy iswhy Sean Paytonworked his wayup the ranksfrom “scab” to coach of the ailing NewOrleans Saints, post-Katrina. That Tro-phy may have been why Payton thoughthe was “bullet-proof” after the Saints’Super Bowl win. His “arrogance” led NFL

commissionerRoger Goodellto suspendPayton, amongothers, for setting boun-ties on rival teams’ players.

Want for the Trophy is why a 33-year-old “abrasive” owner persuaded aretired coach to “save” the WashingtonRedskins. The coach, Joe Gibbs, had a lotto learn: he’d been away from the NFLfor over a decade, and rules had changed.

So had the world in general, which ledto one of the most difficult things Gibbsever endured.

The Lombardi Trophy is why a localman bought a team that few seemed tocare about, and hired a coach who likedto job-hop. It’s why that same coach isnotoriously rough on his team to getresults. It’s why nice guys reach out toplayers who’ve lost their way, why fanssuddenly idolize coaches they once com-plained about, why there are fireworks inthe locker room as well as out, and whythe rate of divorce among NFL coaches is

so high.“The coaching fraternity is small,”

Myers says. “Each year ... agroup picture is taken of the32 head coaches. There are

significant changes to thepicture every year.”So you say you’re passionate

about pigskin and your closet isfilled with bi-colored clothing.

Now you can read about the guysyou screamed at every weekend.With the kind of access fans can

only dream about, Myers goesbehind closed doors and inside meet-

ing rooms to bring readers a hardlook at the glory and the gloom that

comes with being an NFL coach.While this is a fan’s dream peek, it’s

not pretty. Myers gives his readers hardtruths about personal sacrifices, peccadil-loes and personality wars. Fans, I think,will enjoy knowing this info — but with atouch of discomfort.

Love your team’s coach or hate him, Ithink this book may open your eyes ifyou’re a football fanatic or if you just lovea good scandal. For you, “Coaching Confi-dential” will fill up an empty weekendrather nicely.

In the years that Mary and Gary Schultz have worked as ateam they have restored stained glass windows at

churches throughout Minnesota. Mary, who wanted to workwith stained glass since she wasa child, took her first class in1978, 35 years ago. Sincethen, she’s continued todevelop her skills workingwith leaded, fused and firedpainted glass. She now teachesher own classes in fused glassto interested groups.

Gary’s career as a glassworker hasn’t spanned quitethat many years. He and Marycame to Moran Township,between Browerville and Sta-ples, from northern Iowa. For17 years Gary milked cows andfarmed. Then, in 1996, the Schultzes sold their cows.

“Gary has been working on glass for 17 years,” Mary said.“That’s the same number of years that he milked cows.”

In 1996 the Schultzes began the process of converting thedairy barn into a spacious gallery that now displays beauti-ful fused glass projects where cows previously stood instanchions. At the far end of the alley, which used to befilled with straw and hay bales, pitchforks, silage carts andother milking paraphernalia, is the entry to the Schultzes’heated, spacious and well-lighted workshop. They call theirbusiness Genesis Stained Glass.

In mid-January they had windows from the FahlonLutheran Church, near Nelson, Minn., in Douglas County,spread out on their long workbenches. At one, Gary wascarefully removing the deteriorating old leading from theintricately made window.

“You see how it’s worn and pitted,” he points out. “Thelead lasts between 80 and 100 years.”

On another table a window is beginning to be reassem-bled. Compared to the somewhat muddy color of the glassin the window Gary is taking apart, the glass sparklesbrightly.

“Most people don’t see how dirty a window is,” Mary said.They do see the difference when the cleaned and restored

window is reinstalled.“We restored windows for a church in North Dakota,”

Gary said. “After we got it up the priest came and looked upat the window. He asked me if we had put something newin his window. I told him we had just cleaned what wasthere. He’d been there quite a few years and had never seenall of his window until then.”

Genesis Stained Glass does all aspects of stained glasswindow restoration, and can also create new windows. Theycan be reached at (320) 594-6585. ❖
