by Emma Struve

To overcome the varied and complex economicchallenges facing independent dairy operations, aBuffalo Center businessman and farmer hasinitiated an innovative marketing strategy.

Bruce Meinders robotically collects milk fromthe cows on his farm, processes it through his on-farm, federally-licensed dairy, and is planning todeliver products including milk, cream and butterto Iowa consumers by way of specially designedand manufactured vending machines in additionto local groceries.

“By taking the product from alfalfa to thegrocery, the goal is being more consistently prof-itable,” Meinders remarked.

Meinders started rearing Holstein bottle calvesmore than three years ago.

“At the time it was good money and Holsteinsare a nice animal to work with,” he stated. “It’s toobad they aren’t a little more durable; they canreally be challenged by bad weather, for example.”

The idea to begin milking the heifers graduallyemerged and he considered purchasing a robot todo the work. Meinders, along with wife Stacie,

three-year-old daughter Ava and new son Ben allreside on the farm where the dairy is located.

The Astronaut robot milking system by Lely, aNetherlands-based company, allows the cow todecide when she would like to be milked,Meinders explained.

“The cows are loose housed so they come and goto the robot as they please. At night it’s reallybusy,” he elaborated.

The average is 3.2 milkings per day but somecows will go up to six times. Each cow wears acollar that contains a transponder. Thetransponder communicates with the robot torecord at what time the cow is milked, how muchmilk is collected by quarter, and the weight of theanimal. This data is used by the milking system tosupply the cow with an appropriate amount of apelleted feed while in the milking stall. Thisprotein-rich feed supplements the bulky forage-based diet fed at the bunk, Meinders explained.He added that feed consistency is one of the keycomponents to milk quality. His cows eat a typicalbovine dairy diet based on pelleted feed, hay andsilage.

The transponder also communicates with therobot which animal is in the machine. The

computer has stored each cow’s “teat coordinates”so that when the arm with the teat cups comes upto the udder they can be placed very quickly.

“We don’t get a lot of large milkings – 40 or 45pounds of milk at a time – like dairies that milktwice a day. We get maybe 20 to 25 pounds of milk,but we get more of them,” Meinders commented.

Within the robot is a scale that has weightsensors at each corner. In addition to capturingthe weight of the cow at each milking to assesshealth, the scale also tracks the movement of theanimal while she is in the milking stall. Therobotic arm with the milking equipment can thenmove with the cow. Each milk cup works inde-

Current Iowa cash rent rates quickly respondedto the fall 2010 increase in corn and soybeanprices caused by tight grain supplies andincreased demand worldwide, according toWilliam Edwards, Iowa State UniversityExtension economist.

As those involved with the Iowa farmland rentalmarket know, rental rates were pushed signifi-cantly higher by the favorable corn and soybeanprices in 2007 and early 2008. That was followedby lower prices in late 2008 and 2009, which tookmuch of the steam out of the land market. Cashrent for farmland in 2010 saw significantincreases.

Results of the 2011 cash rental rate survey forIowa , conducted by Edwards and his staff,estimate that the average cash rent for corn andsoybean land in the state for 2011 is $214 per acre,an increase of $30 per acre or 16 percent from ayear earlier.

“This is the largest one-year increase since thestatewide survey was started in 1994,” saidEdwards. “Even more interesting was the range oftypical rents reported.”

The range represents the highest and lowestestimates for typical rents in each countysubmitted by survey respondents, not rents forindividual farms. In most counties, the lower endof the range was about the same as in 2010, butthe high end of the range was as much as $50 to$100 an acre above the previous year.

Average rents were higher in all nine cropreporting districts, with increases ranging from$23 per acre (12 percent) in east central Iowa to$37 per acre (21 percent) in southwest Iowa.

“Individual farm rents that were set before theSeptember 1, 2010, termination deadline probablychanged very little,” Edwards said. “Rents thatwere negotiated later likely reflected the highercorn and soybean prices being offered then.”

The intent of the Iowa State survey is to reporttypical rents in force, not the highest or lowestvalues heard through informal sources. Rentalvalues were estimated by asking more than 3,000people familiar with the land market what theythought were typical rates in their county forhigh, medium and low quality row crop land, aswell as for oats, hay and pasture acres.

The number of responses received this year was1,567, an increase of 25 percent compared to lastyear. Of these, 33 percent came from farmers, 24percent from landowners, 22 percent from profes-sional farm managers, 14 percent from lendersand 7 percent from other professionals.

The Cash Rental Rates for Iowa 2011 Survey isavailable online as a downloadable document fromthe Ag Decision Maker website, www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm/wholefarm/pdf/c2-10.pdf, andfrom the ISU Extension online store, www.extension.iastate.edu/Publications/FM1851.pdf.

USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) announcedthat the nomination period for this year’s CountyCommittee election begins on June 15.

John R Whitaker, State Executive Director forIowa stated, “County Committees operate underofficial regulations for federal farm programs.Committee members apply their judgment, expe-rience, and knowledge when making localdecisions.”

Individuals who serve on local FSA CountyCommittee make decisions regarding producer’sappeals; commodity price support loans andpayments; conservation programs; employingcounty executive directors; incentive, indemnity,and disaster payments for commodities; as well asfor other farm disaster assistance.

“The committee election process is designed togive all producers a better chance of having theiropinions and ideas expressed in the community,throughout FSA and the nation. Therefore, it is

vital that we have a diverse committee, not only inthe physical make up of the committee, butmaking sure we have representative from allforms of agriculture,” added Whitaker.

USDA is committed to increasing the partici-pation of all farmers on the FSA CountyCommittees, with an emphasis on women andminority farmers. Beginning farmers are alsohighly encouraged to become involved.

Some of the requirements for becoming acandidate to serve on a County Committeeinclude:

• Be of legal voting age• Live in the LAA holding an election• Participate or cooperate in a program admin-

istered by FSAIndividuals may nominate themselves or others

as candidates. Additionally, organizations repre-senting minorities and women may nominatecandidates.

All nominees must sign nomination form FSA-669A, which includes a statement that thenominee agrees to serve if elected. Form FSA-669A is available at USDA Service Centers andonline at: http://www.fsa.usda.gov/elections. Allnomination forms for the 2011 election must bepostmarked or received in the local USDA ServiceCenter by close of business on Augist 1, 2011.

The county committee nomination period beginsJune 15; voting will take place in the fall. Ballotswill be mailed to eligible voters by November 4.The final day to return voted ballots to a localUSDA Service Center is December 5. Newlyelected county committee members take officeJanuary 1, 2012.

The Iowa Soybean Association (ISA) and IowaState University (ISU) have released a collabo-rative publication, the Soybean Field Guide,which is a revision and update of the popularSoybean Disease and Pest Management FieldGuide.

Daren Mueller, ISU Extension specialist andone of the guide’s authors, said the durable andweather-resistant publication has been expandedfrom 52 to 68 pages and now features five sectionson production, integrated pest management(IPM), diseases, insects and disorders. It includes

several additional insects that impact soybeanproduction, as well as disorders like hail damageand nutrient problems.

David Wright, ISA director of contract researchand strategic initiatives, stated, “Soybeandiseases and insects are the farmers’ number oneconcern in profitable soybean production. Thisfield guide has been designed to enable farmers’easy identification of problem yield robbers, aswell as providing valuable production infor-mation.”

Funding for printing and distribution of theguide was provided by the Iowa soybean checkoffand ISU Extension.

Printed copies of the Soybean Field Guide can beobtained by contacting the Iowa SoybeanAssociation at 800- 383-1423; they can also beordered from the ISU Extension DistributionStore at www.extension.iastate.edu/store/ or bycalling 515-294-5247.

We Are Axle Bending Specialists.

Denny Kasparbauer and son Randy of ruralManning are investing one acre of land betweentwo terraces to experiment growing GiantMiscanthus grass. They want to learn if this 10-foot tall Asian grass can be grown in west centralIowa soils and climate, and how it will yield. Theyare starting an experiment that will last two yearsand possibly much longer.

Giant Miscanthus grass is a huge biomassproducer in many parts of the world, producingfrom 10 to 20 tons of dry matter per acre after it ismature. This is twice as much as the nativeswitchgrass, which has been the leading grassbiomass grass producer to date. Miscanthus is along term perennial but starts slowly, so it takesat least two years to reach maturity. The firstyear, there is no biomass harvest at all as the rootsystems are developing.

The Kasparbauers hope to produce four tons peracre of dry grass at the end of 2012, and 10 tons atthe end of 2013. In future years as the rootsexpand and become deeper, the Kasparbauershope to reach 20 tons per acre. Smaller Illinoistest plots have reached 24 tons per acre.

This grass is a sterile hybrid that does notproduce seed. It is planted by burying three inchrhizomes in the ground at two inches deep. Thegrass stems are surrounded by long leaves thatdrop each fall. Then the bamboos like stalks areharvested.

The tall grass stalks can be utilized in two ways.First, they can be biomass fuel, similar to coal,and burned for electrical energy production. Thisis its common use in Europe. Second, it is possibleto convert Miscanthus grasses to ethanol bycellulosic conversion. This process is being studiednow with corn cobs at the Poet Biorefinery ethanolplant near Emmetsburg.

Because Giant Miscanthus loses its leavesbefore fall harvest, that organic matter providesthe protective cover plant residue for the fields toprevent erosion. That is very important, asfarmers on sloping ground must maintain a givenpercentage of residue cover to meet their farmconservation plans. It is anticipated that thisgrass will be likely grown on sloping lands that

need perennial grass protection and are lessfavorable for row crops.

The Kasparbauers have divided their one-acretest site into three 30-foot wide strips, each 500feet long. The first strip has high plant density of24,000 rhizomes planted per acre. That is roughlysix inches apart in the 40-inch spaced rows. Thesecond strip has a medium density of 16,000rhizomes planted 12 inches apart. The final striphas a low density of 8,000 rhizomes planted 18inches apart. They will study how fast the plantsends out new rhizomes and fills in betweenplants and also between rows. They planted onMay 18 into a row crop field that was soybeans in2010.

To plant the three-inch long stick-like rhizomes,they fashioned their own planter using an old two-row corn planter from the 1930s. While leavingthe soil openers virtually the same, they took offthe seed boxes and substituted four-inch PVCdrop tubes. They then mounted a table around thetubes to hold the rhizomes, and a bench to seattwo people. Finally they installed a packing wheelbehind the tubes to pack the soil around the newlyplanted rhizomes. As the tractor moves throughthe field, the people riding the planter drop therhizomes down the tubes. For low density rows,that was fairly easy. For the high density rows,they had to work like mad. They admit that thissystem was fine for one acre, but for largerplantings, a better system is needed. Commercialplanters for rhizomes exist, of course, but for thistest plot, this was adequate.

Even at one acre, this experiment is the largestin size in the state of Iowa for biomass productionof Giant Miscanthus. Iowa State University andthe Southern Iowa Resource Conservation andDevelopment Inc. have smaller test plots of manydifferent varieties of Miscanthus, but no plot ismore than 12 feet by 12 feet. There are no othertest fields in northwest Iowa.

Because of its form and height, GiantMiscanthus can produce twice as much biomass asnative switchgrass. Giant Miscanthus grass hasbeen growing for 22 years in Denmark and has notspread beyond five feet from its original plantingsite. This is important to avoid non-native plants

that become invasive over time. Because seeds aresterile, only movement of the rhizomes can spreadthe plant.

Farm emergencies and Scout trainingJune 2011 Iowa Farm and Ranch Page 5

I’m sure when a personmarries a doctor or afireman, that person iswell aware that planscan change quickly anddealing with emer-gencies will be part ofthe deal.

Society pretty muchexpects that doctors,nurses and firemenshould be on hand24/7/365 to deal with life-threatening situations.Therefore, even thosewho didn’t grow up in ahouse with someone inthose professions knowwhat is expected of them.

I didn’t get that memowhen I married a farmer.

Sure, I was used to dadleaving in the middle ofthe night to tackle a firewhen I was growing up.

We had the occasionalemergency call from afarmer who ran out offeed on a Sunday orholiday, or who had abreakdown during themiddle of planting orharvest and needed apart.

But no one gave me thehandbook on how to beprepared for emergencieson the farm.

On Monday night, wehad one such emergency.

Right after both kidscame in, showered andwere in the process ofeating supper, myhusband called needingthe four-wheeler, whichmy son had driven up tothe house. He said agroup of cows hadcongregated and were

being awfully loud in thepasture and he needed togo investigate.

So my oldest sonchanged back to his otherclothes, and ran the four-wheeler down.

About 15 minutes later, I received a veryloud call from my sonthat they needed help.The only words I couldmake out were “silo” and“four-wheeler,” whichcaused me more than abit of panic.

I tried to get him tocalm down, take a deepbreath, and tell meslowly what was goingon. I was alreadythrowing on my shoes,telling the little boy tostay in the house, andwalking down the halland out the door to help.

I next hear from myhusband, who told me todrive down to the siloand find them. That’s allI could get out of him,other then it was anemergency and they weretrying to save a calf.

Now I knew we weredealing with a possiblevet emergency instead ofan ambulanceemergency.

Once I got to the silo,they were nowhere to befound, so I had to callagain. I was instructed tolook to the pasture in thewest, find the four-wheeler and walktowards it. Then, I wouldfind them.

When I got to the four-wheeler, I found my

husband, son and a 300-pound calf in a cementbox culvert. The difficultpart was they needed thefour-wheeler to bebacked up very closely tothe creek so we could tieon the rope halter lead inan effort to help get thecalf up and out of it.

I got the vehiclebacked up on one side,grabbed the lead, anddid a couple quick ties.Then, I turned aroundand helped my son out ofthe culvert, which wasabout five and a half feetdeep.

While I still had a holdof the lead, I told my sonto tie it off using a knotthat wouldn’t come aparteasily.

My Star-ranked Scoutdid an awesome job oftying the rope off andhopped on the four-wheeler.

With one hand on therope, and one hand onthe four-wheeler, my sonslowly edged forwardwhile my husband triedto push up the calf.

That didn’t work.We untied the lead and

my son drove to the otherside of the creek in aneffort to try to get the calfout the other way. Hebacked up with the backtwo tires in the creek,jumped off, and I threwthe lead to him to tie itoff again.

Since there was someslack, I told him to use aknot that could be easilytightened when I let go.

He tied another knotthat was able to take upthe slack as soon as I letgo to jump over to theother side of the creek.

After the sameprocedure, we finallypulled out the calf thatwas more then a littleticked off that the ropehalter was still on him.My husband and son stillhave bruises on theirlegs from where the calfkicked them.

I was so proud of theway my son remainedcalm while tying his BoyScout knots and runningthe four-wheeler to pullthe calf out.

I wish more boys couldhave the opportunity tobe trained to be calm inemergency situations.

This week, two of the

boys in our Troop tookpart in the NationalYouth LeadershipTraining at Little SiouxScout Ranch.

Three years ago, onJune 11, 2008, a tornadoripped through the campduring the same trainingthat occurred this week.

Our Scout Council callsthe training “PohawkPride.”

The boys wereprepared when thattornado hit.

They had taken part inemergency trainingearlier in the week andknew what to do,including immediatelysetting up a triage area.

In just a few weeks, myyoungest son will attenda Cub Scout camp atLittle Sioux, which afterbeing rebuilt is probablyone of the safest campsin the United States toattend.

Scout training defi-nitely helped our familyon the farm this week,and will continue to do soin the future.

I hope that my oldestson will be able to attendPohawk Pride in thefuture, which willprovide him with evenmore emergency andleadership training.

Luckily, we areprepared for emergencieslike this on the farm.

But someone at somepoint really should havegiven me the memoregarding them before Igot married.

Today, the dairy industry faces numerous issuesand concerns. Milk prices fall while feed costs andland prices rise, product quality is questioned attimes and farmers face scrutiny for their manureuse and disposal.

All these issues lead to doubt in a dairy farmer’smind at some point. But in order to perseverethrough tough times, optimism, and care for landand the industry, are important.

“We’re very optimistic,” said Wayne Dykshorn,president of the Iowa State Dairy Association. “Wealways have to look for the future.”

Feed costs have caused a major profit problemand take up the majority of production costs. Milkprices have been at all time lows, but Dykshorn,who operates a dairy farm near Ireton with hissons, stays confident.

He stated that after low prices in 2009 and 2010,milk prices have risen and dairies are now prof-itable again, even though expenses remain high.

Dykshorn explained that milk sales alone do notresult in profit, but with exports and cull cows -milk cows that have dried out and are sold forslaughter - sales will lead to a profitable year in2011.

Even though rising feed costs is a major issue,Dykshorn’s concerns ran deeper than money.When asked the biggest issue facing dairyfarmers, Dykshorn mentioned individualswanting to have the sale of raw milk approved.

“Food safety is a huge concern here,” Dykshornsaid.

Dykshorn has joined and led the fight againstthe movement strictly out of concern for the dairyfarmer’s reputation. He has worked to get regu-lations passed to prevent sales of raw milk andprotect farmers.

Although not directly involved, Dykshorn hasclosely followed the development of theFoundation for the Future presented to Congressby The National Milk Producers Federation. The

Foundation for the Future is a package ofproposed dairy policy programs that woulddramatically improve the traditional approach todairy policy and would foster a more economically-viable and secure future for dairy producers. TheFoundation for the Future includes riskmanagement insurance, production increases byway of a Federal Milk Marketing Order Reform,which would aid those that market products, andcontrol costs to keep expenditures as low aspossible.

Dykshorn hopes the Foundation for the Futurewill educate co-ops and dairies of improvements tobe made and generate support for the Foundation.

Christine Mondak, Iowa State UniversityExtension dairy specialist, emphasized how noissue overshadows the importance of health in thecows.

“Of course we have the issues that keep us up atnight. But cow comfort is day-to-day the numberone priority,” she stated.

Dairy farming can be a trying profession. Pricesand costs change all the time. But Dykshorn andMondak emphasized care and concern for theindustry and livestock comes first. Dykshorn evenmentioned family living before feed costs andtaxes when asked about production costs.

As temperatures heat up during thesummer, cattle producers need to assess theheat stress that their cattle are under.

Compared to other animals, cattle rely onrespiration more than sweating to dissipatetheir heat load. Since cattle do not dissipateheat effectively they accumulate a heat loadduring the day and dissipate heat at nightwhen it is cooler.

During extreme weather conditions withinsufficient environmental cooling at night,cattle will accumulate heat that they cannotdisperse.

Typically physiological factors such as hidecolor, weight and animal health predisposecattle to heat stress during the summermonths.

To minimize heat stress, cattle producerscan start initiating measures now in theiroperation to assist cattle in managing periodsof hot, humid weather.

Critical• Make sure cattle have access to excess

water capacity. This means getting extrawater tanks into pens filled with fresh water.During the heat of the day (noon throughsundown) cattle may increase their waterdemand to two gallons per 100 lbs of bodyweight.

• Do not handle or process cattle past 9 a.m.

Encouraged• Shift feeding to provide 70 percent of the

day’s feed delivered after sundown.• Provide shade; a minimum of 20 square

feet per head of shade is recommended.• Remove restrictions to air flow, such as

wind breaks.• Provide mounds for cattle to make use of

what little breeze may be available.• Grind light-colored bedding, such as

straw or grass hay, into the pens. This willprovide a cooler surface to rest on than thedark-colored pen surface.

Emergency• When heavy, black-hided cattle show

signs of severe heat stress such as continuous,open-mouthed panting, get these cattle to ashaded area, and cool these cattle with a hose,including their head and body. Either a streamof water or of large droplets which willpenetrate through the hair coat to the skin iscritical to provide evaporative cooling.

In addition to management practices, cattleproducers can monitor forecasted heat stressevents at http://www.ars.usda.gov/Main/docs.htm?docid=20426. For more informationon preventing heat stress in cattle go tohttp://vetmed.iastate.edu/ and type “heatstress cattle” in the search box.

The Iowa Renewable Fuels Association(IRFA) announced that E85 sales in Iowaincreased by 27 percent during the firstquarter of 2011 compared to the fourthquarter of 2010.

According to the Iowa Department ofRevenue, sales of E85 by Iowa retailersreached 2,645,038 gallons during the firstthree months of this year. Compared to thefirst quarter of 2010, E85 sales were up 64percent in 2011.

“Consumers have increasingly sought outE85 as an affordable, homegrown alternativewith gasoline prices approaching $4 pergallon,” stated IRFA Executive DirectorMonte Shaw. “It was especially exciting to seeE85 sales increase robustly even as the IowaE85 retailer tax credit was cut by half on thefirst of January.”

Since January 1, 2006, Iowa retailers havereceived a tax credit for each gallon of E85sold. Under the 2006 law, the E85 tax creditwas reduced from 20 cents per gallon to 10cents per gallon on January 1, 2011.

Iowa currently has 142 retail outletsoffering E85. A list of all the E85 stations canbe found at www.iowarfa.org/ethanol_e85refueling.php.

The Iowa Farm Service Agency (FSA) isreminding producers to submit their annualacreage report to their local FSA county office byJune 30, 2011, to meet FSA program eligibilityrequirements.

"Producers must file their reports accuratelyand timely for all crops and land uses, includingprevented and failed acreage, to ensure theyreceive the maximum FSA program benefitspossible," said John R. Whitaker, state executivedirector for the Iowa Farm Service Agency.

Accurate acreage reports are necessary todetermine and maintain eligibility for thefollowing programs, but are not limited to: Directand Counter-cyclical Program, ConservationReserve Program (CRP), Price Support, and newerprograms authorized in the 2008 Farm Bill.Programs include the Supplemental RevenueAssistance Payments Program (SURE), AverageCrop Revenue Election Program (ACRE),Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP), TreeAssistance Program (TAP), and EmergencyAssistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and FarmRaised Fish Program (ELAP).

“Producers should be prepared to have plantingdates on all crops including forage crops and thosethat are grazed when reporting crops to ouroffices,” said Whitaker. “With many of our newdisaster crops, such as SURE, it has becomecrucial that producers report the correct year ofseeding establishment for their different foragecrops.”

Acreage reports are considered timely filedwhen completed by the applicable final cropreporting deadline of June 30, 2011. Prevented

acreage must be reported within 15 calendar daysafter the final planting date. Failed acreage mustbe reported before the disposition of the crop. NAPcrops that are harvested prior to June 30 mustreport by the earlier of June 30, 2011, or 15calendar days before the onset of harvest orgrazing. Producers should contact their countyFSA office if they are uncertain about reportingdeadlines.

Late-filed provisions may be available toproducers who are unable to meet the reportingdeadline as required. Reports filed after the estab-lished deadline must meet certain requirements tobe accepted and may be charged late fees. Aminimum $46 fee per farm is assessed for latefiled certifications.

Producers should visit their county FSA office tocomplete acreage reporting. For questions on thisor any FSA program, including specific cropreporting deadlines and planting dates, producersshould contact their county FSA office. More infor-mation on FSA programs is at: www.fsa.usda.gov.

FSA reminds producers to file annual report of acreage by June 30

An Iowa State University animal scientist isleading a research project to understand the phys-iological impacts of heat stress on pigs.

“The primary objectives are to evaluate why andhow heat stress reduces swine productivity,” saidLance Baumgard, Iowa State associate professorand the Norman L. Jacobson Endowed Professorof Nutritional Physiology.

“Heat stress is the costliest issue for Americananimal agriculture and is even more economicallydevastating in the developing world. If climatechange continues as predicted, the negative effectsof environmental heat stress on pig productionwill become more severe,” he said.

Having a clear understanding of the biologicalmechanisms responsible for reduced productivityduring heat stress is needed to develop strategiesto improve suboptimal production during thewarm summer months, Baumgard added.

Baumgard is heading a team of animalscientists from Iowa State, the University ofArizona, the University of Missouri and VirginiaTech University. They will study how heat affectsswine in several areas including nutrition, repro-duction, muscle biology and immunology.

The $2.5 million research project is funded forfive years by a grant from the U.S. Department ofAgriculture’s National Institute of Food andAgriculture (NIFA).

Lean hog trade has been higher this week dueto short covering and chart buying. The June20-day is at 9070 which was Wednesday’s dailyhigh; this area will serve as resistance again onThursday which we are now challenging. Cashtrade is expected to develop steady to $.50higher on Thursday following the move higherin carcass value over the past two sessions.Rumors have surfaced this week which indicatethat greater pork export demand is in thepipeline. It will be important to confirm addi-tional shipments soon or the trade may giveback most of yesterday’s premium. The weeklycold storage report indicated in movement of407,000 pounds versus net out movement of967,000 pounds at this time a year ago. Thisindicates still struggling retail demand.

WHEAT 06/09/11Wheat trade has been lower this week due to

follow-through chart selling after the lower movelast week. After three days of trade, the weekly netchange is 25 lower on the July Chicago contract,KC is down 29, and Minneapolis is down 40. Thecrop report had old crop wheat carryover at 809million bushels, down from the 842 millionexpected. But the new crop carryover was at 687million versus the 659 million bushel numberexpected. Total winter wheat production was at1.45 billion versus the expected 1.392 and totalwheat production was at 2.058 billion versus the2.009 billion average trade guess. The trade willquestion the numbers and expect them to comedown next month. The world ending stocks wereactually increased to 184.26 which should limitupside in wheat. With harvest pressure expectedmoving forward we may have already printed ourhighs in winter wheat this year. Spring wheatprice action is still up for debate. The weeklyprogress report was mixed on Monday but hasbeen supportive this week. Winter Wheat Headingwas listed as 79% complete versus 83% last yearand the 85% 5-year average. Winter wheat harvestwas estimated at 10% complete versus 5% lastyear and the 6% 5-year average. Winter wheatconditions were reported at 34% good to excellentwhich was up 1% from last week. Poor to very poorratings were unchanged at 44%. Spring wheatplantings were listed at 79% complete versus 97%last year and the 98% 5-year average. Springwheat emergence came in at 57% versus 89% lastyear and the 92% 5-year average. The weekly saleswere reported at 477,700 tons which was aboveexpectations. Hedgers call with questions.

CATTLE 06/09/11Live cattle trade has been higher this week

due to short covering. Cash trade was reportedat $106 in the South and $108 in the North onWednesday which was $1 to $2 higher versuslast week. Attractive basis opportunities werenoted for the strength along with short boughtpackers. Volume was large yesterday, so thebulk of the cash trade should be concluded forthe week. The cutout finished lower yesterdaywith choice down $1.26 at $174.15 and selectwas down $.91 at $168.18. The high gas prices

and weaker stock market action this monthshould limit optimism above our chartresistance.

CORN 06/09/11Corn trade has been higher early this week due

to position squaring ahead of the USDA Supplyand Demand report. After three days of trade, theweekly net change is 10 higher on the Julycontract and December is up 7. The USDA Supplyand Demand report has been the feature thisweek. The old crop carryover was raised to 730million versus the average trade guess of 706million but new crop carryover was reduced to 695versus the 771 million average trade guess and900 million number last month. The new cropusage was reduced by 100 million tons in the feedcategory, so there was a usage decline. With pricesdouble where they were last year, the questionremains as to whether or not usage will slip more.The world balance sheet was reduced to 111.89million tons versus 129.14 million last month.Beginning stocks were reduced 5 million tons andusage increased by 11 million. World productionwas only reduced by 1 million tons. On the weeklyreport, corn planting was reported at 94%complete which was down from 99% last year andthe 98% 5-year average. After this week anyfurther corn plantings will be rare. Emergence waslisted at 79% versus 93% last year. Corn conditionwas estimated at 67% good to excellent which wasdown from 76% good to excellent at this time lastyear. The weekly sales were 320,300 tons of oldcrop and 29,900 tons of new which was belowexpectations. Hedgers call with questions.

SOYBEANS 06/09/11Soybean trade was mixed in active trade early

in the week, but we then had an upside chartbreakout late in the week. After three days oftrade, the weekly net change is 13 lower on Julybeans. Meal is $4.40 higher and oil is down 79points. The acreage questions should supporttrade and not allow any huge break this month,but the market needs to now figure in a fewmillion potential lost acres due to the MissouriRiver Flooding that is mostly yet to be seen overthe next week to two weeks. Acreagediscussions should be a close second to weatherin regard to news that gives us movement thismonth. The USDA report was released onThursday morning. The old crop soybeancarryover was reported at 180 million bushelswhich was up from 170 million last month andthe average trade guess of 176 million. The newcrop carryover was reported at 190 millionbushels which was up from 160 million in May.Old crop world ending stocks came in at 61.59million which was down from 61.85 million inMay. New crop world stocks were 64.53 milliontons which was up from 63.81 million in May.Onthe weekly report, bean plantings were reportedat 68% complete versus 83% last year and the82% 5-year average. The USDA listed soybeanemergence at 44% versus 63% last year and the61% 5-year average. The weekly soybean saleswere disappointing with only 120,500 tons ofold crop and 100 tons of new. Meal sales came inat 60,500 tons of old and bean oil sales were10,100 tons crop. Hedgers call with questions.

pendently so when a quarter of the udder has beenmilked completely, that cup will stop, which alsocontributes to a comfortable milking experiencefor the cow.

Cows have to be trained to the machine, whichMeinders stated takes the cows from about twoweeks to a few months depending on the animals.

“Some of them go right in,” he said, “some ofthem train so easily. Some you battle for 60 or 90days or give up. They are not all alike.”

CEO of Lely, Alexander van der Lely, shared onthe company’s website the desire is to “build asystem around the cow to make sure that cowslike to be milked within a low-threshold system.He said, ‘Contrary to what seems to be the currentmarket trend, we strongly believe this is the wayforward in automating dairy farms in an animalfriendly way’.” The Lely company has beendesigning and offering the robotic milkingsystems for two decades.

The Astronaut milking robot Meinders uses alsoautomatically senses milk quality. The milk fromeach cow is held in a large, glass reservoir juguntil the milking is completed. If a problem isdetected, the milk is discarded and the system isflushed. Without any problems, the system auto-matically flushes itself twice per day.

Meinders has been milking with the LelyAstronaut for two years. During the first year ofmilking Meinders sold his calves but he has nowadded a feedlot and raises his own bottle calves.He also breeds and retains his own replacementheifers.

Cow comfort, Meinders continued, is a priorityon his farm. The building in which the cows arehoused was originally constructed to contain morethan four times the 60 head of Holstein cows itcurrently confines; the curtain sided barn is 200feet long by 98 feet wide and ventilated by fans. Toimprove the cows’ leg comfort and longevity, theyare housed on a deep bedding pack. The cows alsohave periodic access to a small pasture. While it isnot sufficient in size for real nutritional benefit,Meinders remarked, it does offer the benefit ofexercise.

Another feature of Meinders’ dairy barn is anautomatically-rotating stiff-bristled brush; thecows lean or press against it and it spins to relieveitches.

Meinders broke ground on the creamery inAugust of 2010 and it was enclosed by Christmasof the same year. The federally inspected facilityproduces whole milk, 2%, 1%, skim milk, chocolatemilk, butter and ice cream. Milk is bottled by thegallon and soon, half gallon. It has been inoperation regularly for about two months.

In planning how to lay out the necessaryequipment in the creamery, Meinders visited more

than 10 on-farm creameries as well as the dairyprocessing department at South Dakota StateUniversity. One of Meinders two employees, MikeDunn, is a recent dairy production and manufac-turing graduate from the university. Dunn hasbeen working with Meinders part time for sixmonths and started full time in May. The otherregular worker at Meinders Farm Fresh Dairy isJay Mayland.

Once milk is collected from the cow it travelsthrough rigid stainless-steel tubing – arequirement for flushing and cleaning – to achilled bulk tank. It enters the creamery just priorto being processed. The first step is cream sepa-ration. Depending on the product to be bottled, theproper amount of cream is added back into theskim fraction of the milk. Whole milk, forexample, is 3.25 percent fat, while “whole milk”straight out of the cow is about 3.9 percent milkfat. The milk then travels to a vat pasteurizerwhere it is brought to a temperature of 145° F andheld for 30 minutes.

“It’s a slower, softer way to pasteurize the milk,”Meinders commented, as compared to flashpasteurization, which is for a shorter time but ahigher temperature.

It is then homogenized and cooled to 40° F andplaced in a holding tank, ready for bottling.

Preparation for bottling can take as long asthree hours, processing the milk takes less thanan hour, and bottling the milk takes about twohours. Following bottling are two to three addi-tional hours of clean-up work, Meinderscommented.

“The first time we did it, mercy! We had plasticjugs flying everywhere,” he recalled, laughing.“It’s getting much smoother now.”

The Meinders dairy products are then offeredfor sale at surrounding hometown grocery stores.

The creamery on his farm has more capacitythan what his cows have milk at this time. Anopportunity exists to work with other independentproducers.

A stainless steel butter churn does not stand outin the creamery amidst all the other stainlesssteel equipment but it has its own interestingstory, Meinders related. While visitingcreameries, investigating how to arrange his own,Meinders came into contact with a gentleman hedescribed as “an old Amish guy in Idaho who runs80 cows.” The man had a butter churn the designof which Meinders really liked so he inquiredabout it. Meinders had to call and leave a messagewith another person as the Amish man did nothave a phone but eventually they made contactand Meinders shared that he would like a churnwith a 10 gallon capacity. Some weeks later atruck showed up at his Iowa farm and delivered

the hand-made, stainless-steel churn with a billtaped inside on which was written “Please Pay.”To review the Meinders Farm Fresh DairyFacebook page, it is clear the butter produced bythe churn is very popular!

Meinders’, who has a bachelor’s degree in agri-culture mechanization from Iowa State Universityand a master’s degree in agriculture economics,newest project has been the development of dairyvending machines.

“It took three months just to find a company towork with me,” he said. Once the Californiavending machine company was on board with theidea, the partners went to work designing amachine that could store half-gallon sizecontainers for milk, accept an order for dairyproducts on a touch screen, and then deliver therelatively delicate product packages by conveyorsystem to the customers, all in a vending machineapproximately the same size and shape as atypical pop machine. The machine also had tohave a reliable cooling system (and automaticallyshut down if the system failed), run on a single110V outlet and be able to communicate inventoryinformation wirelessly to Meinders’ computer. Thefinal product was a year in development.

As of writing this article, Meinders’ firstmachines were on a semi being shipped fromCalifornia to Iowa for installation in towns thatlack ready access to fresh dairy products.

“In this area we have a lot of small towns thatmight have 150 to 250 or 300 people. In thoselittle towns you can’t buy milk. There is no grocerystore; there is no convenience store,” Meindersobserved.

He hopes the idea will appeal to consumersseeking a connection to the producers of theirfood, as well. After all, those that want to drive byand see the cows that produce the milk are able todo so.

“I know I’ve got a good quality product,”Meinders stated. “I’m hoping I get enoughcustomer loyalty out of it that (customers) get tothe point where they may be 60 miles awaystocking up on groceries but decide, ‘I’m not goingto buy milk, I’ll get that on the way home becauseI need milk in that vending machine on days whenI need milk in it’.”

Meinders is still undecided where the bestplaces to locate the machines will be.

Stocking the machines will also be a bit of anexperiment, Meinders speculated, since thegenerally accepted shelf life of fresh milk is 16days.

If towns are interested in a machine, he invitedthem to contact him at 515-341-2222.

Iowa’s farm crisis ended more than 20 years ago,but a University of Iowa (UI) analyst said lastyear’s census data shows its impact still rumblesthrough the state.

Jeff Schott, director of the UI Institute of PublicAffairs, said Iowa’s rural-to-urban populationshift is even more pronounced in a deeper exami-nation of the 2010 U.S. census data.

“When you look back to 1980, the shift isdramatic, and it’s not slowing down,” said Schott,who analyzed the data for the Iowa League ofCities. “It shows how badly Iowa was clobberedeconomically in the 1980s and how long-lasting itsaffects have been. The impacts have lasted for ageneration now.”

As a result of the crisis, more and more of Iowa’spopulation live in cities. That number was 79percent in 2010, up from the 74.6 percent wholived in incorporated cities in 1980, before thecrisis began. Schott said the rural-to-urban trendis evident in almost every part of the state. In 76of Iowa’s 99 counties, the percentage of residentsliving in cities increased in 2010 compared to2000.

Schott noted that the eight counties with apopulation of more than 50,000 people had a

combined overall population increase of 10.9percent between 2000 and 2010. In contrast, popu-lation in the other 91 counties dropped by 1.8percent. Of the 129 cities registering the largestpopulation decline during the past decade, all butone were smaller than 1,000 residents.

He said the longer-term perspective is evenmore striking. Since 1980, the population of theeight largest counties has increased by 22.5percent, while the population of the other 91counties has declined by 8.7 percent. In 2010, 49.7percent of Iowa’s total population resided in theeight most populous counties, compared to 42.4percent in 1980.

Only six counties have gained population inevery census since 1980: Dallas, Marion, Polk,Story and Warren, all in the Des Moines-Amesarea, and Johnson, home to Iowa City and theUniversity of Iowa. At the same time, 42 countieshave lost population in every census, and 53counties have shed 10 percent or more of theirpopulation in the past 30 years.

Schott’s analysis found that between 2000 and2010, the number of people living in cities with apopulation greater than 10,000 grew by 11percent. The fastest growing cities in the group

were those with a population between 10,000 and20,000, most of them in the booming Des Moinesand Cedar Rapids-Iowa City areas, such asWaukee, Johnston and North Liberty. Cities inthat population range grew by 46.7 percent duringthe decade.

Central Iowa continues to emerge as the state’sdominant population center, as Polk County andits adjacent counties now make up 23.9 percent ofthe state’s population. In 1980, the regionaccounted for only 18.3 percent of the overallpopulation.

Schott said those numbers are important forpolicy makers as they plan for the future of ruralIowa.

“Planning for population decline is a lotdifferent than planning for growth,” he said. “It’sgoing to be a challenge for local governments tomeet the challenges they have to face, especiallyas their population ages and there are fewerresources to pay for the services that will beneeded.”

UI analyst says farm crisis still reverberates in Iowa’s latest census data

Changes in EPAregulations mean manytanks will no longer be able to store pesticides

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey high-lighted a new recycling program for mini-bulktanks that are used by many pesticide dealers tostore chemicals before they are used on the farm.

Changes by EPA to the Pesticide Container andContainment Rule that go into effect on August16, 2011, will render many plastic pesticide mini-bulk containers unusable.

The deadline to register for participation in theprogram is July 15, 2011.

“We hope this program will allow dealers toremove unwanted, damaged or non-compliantmini-bulks from their inventory,” Northey said.

“Due to the strong support we have received forthis program, the recycling fee per tank is only$15 and we have done our best to make it easy forbusinesses to participate.”

The program is available to recycle stand-aloneand/or caged pesticide mini-bulk tanks of 85 to350 gallons capacity. Steel and fiberglasscontainers will not be accepted.

To participate, owners of eligible mini-bulkcontainer need to complete an inventory regis-tration form and return the completed form toTRI-Rinse, the company operating the recycleprogram. Forms can be found atwww.IowaAgriculture.gov.

When completing the form be sure to include thechemical name (common name or trade name),chemical manufacturer, and tank size for eachtank.

The form and payment can then be mailed,emailed or faxed to TRI-Rinse. The directions onhow to make the payment of $15 per tank can befound on the inventory registration form.

TRI-Rinse will then provide detailedinstructions to dealers on how to prepare thetanks for recycling. Steps will include the removalof metal, cleaning tanks according to the manu-facturer’s cleanout instructions, and removingcaps, valves and vents.

Collections will begin in late summer or earlyfall. TRI-Rinse, Inc. will either shred tanks on-siteor transport them back to St. Louis, Missouri, forshredding.

Questions about the recycling program can bedirected to Mark Lohafer with the IowaDepartment of Agriculture and Land Stewardshipby calling 515-281-8506.

The program is the result of a joint effortbetween the Iowa Department of Agriculture andLand Stewardship, the Agribusiness Associationof Iowa, the Iowa Institute for Cooperatives, andIowa State University Extension PestManagement and the Environment Program.

The dairy industry is one of great importance toIowa and the Midwest. But with rising gas pricesand feed costs, profitability is more difficult toachieve.

“Our dairy farmers are extremely efficient, butunfortunately we need them to be more efficientjust to keep up,” said Larry Tranel, Iowa StateUniversity Extension dairy field specialist.

Tranel, who is based in the Extension office inDubuque County, voiced a concern about feedcosts outweighing milk prices. The cost of feed

alone has risen from a previous level of 50 percentof the total production costs to around 65 percent.

“Rising costs really make us question howsustainable dairy can be,” Tranel said.

Tranel continued to express the importance ofstable feed costs to the survival of dairy farms. Ifprices continue to grow, Tranel feels that dairyfarms in Iowa may become more of a rarity.

“More and more dairies continue to die,” Tranelsaid. “It’s a harsh reality but that’s the way it is.”

Aside from rising costs, the instability of milkprices also leads to losses. Dr. Christine Mondak,Iowa State University Extension dairy specialist,

explained how the constant rise and fall of milkprices makes it difficult to predict production.

“Milk prices are so volatile, leading to ups anddowns. You can’t be guaranteed it will stay thesame,” commented Mondak, who serves 23counties in northwest and western Iowa.

She stated that milk prices “do not provide muchbuffer” when comparing milk prices to feed costs.

“Farmers,” Mondak said, “may see prices dropeven lower.” She also explained that eventually,farmers may be paid below the necessary price forproduct.

Rising feed costs impact dairy profitsProducers also battle volatile milk prices

TWELVE IOWA HIGH SCHOOL... Continued from page 9

Garner cattle farmer Ed Greiman said hisexperience on Iowa’s South Korea/China TradeMission the week of June 5 taught him thatSouth Korean consumers have the very sameconcerns as U.S. consumers.

“They are very concerned about food safety andfood quality. That’s no different than the expec-tations of U.S. consumers,” Greiman said.

“The South Korean market is phenomenal. Ienvisioned it as under-developed, but the countryis full of young people who are well-educated andhave good jobs. Walking around downtown Seoulis no different than walking around Chicago orNew York City,” he stated.

“These are people looking to add protein totheir diets. We know they are looking for beefbecause it’s the Cadillac of meats,” Greiman said.

He continued that South Korea just can’tprovide that for their population, so the countrywill need to import beef.

Greiman, who is president-elect of the IowaCattlemen’s Association, is also a board memberof the Iowa Beef Industry Council, which isfunding the trip. Greiman joined 40 other Iowanson the mission that includes government,business and industry, and farm representatives.Greiman only participated in the leg of the tripthat visits South Korea.

In a meeting with the Mr. Jae-Soo Kim, the #1Vice Minister from the Ministry of Food,Agriculture, Forestry & Fisheries, the Iowanstalked about the pending Free Trade Agreement(FTA) with South Korea. That agreement hasbeen on hold for nearly five years, and theObama Administration is readying it to presentto Congress.

That trade agreement is critical to Iowa andthe United States, said Iowa Secretary ofAgriculture and Land Stewardship Bill Northey,who is also on the trip. Currently, for every $100of U.S. beef sold, a tariff – or tax – of $40 must bepaid to South Korea. If the FTA passes Congress,it will eventually eliminate that tariff. For Iowaalone, the impact of passing the bill will increaseits sales to South Korea by $1 billion, Northeysaid.

Other beef-producing countries are aggres-sively going after the market in South Koreanbecause it has the 12th largest economy in theworld.

Besides passage of the FTA, Greiman stressedthat Iowa cattle farmers need to remember theyare producing food.

He stated, “We’re not just selling cattle to apacker and that’s the end of it. Packers are justthe middlemen that get our food to the U.S.consumer and the people in South Korea.”
