Upwards of 70percent of

Minnesota landown-ers have no idea what

the buffer law says andwhat they need to do about

it, according to farm drainageattorney Kurt Deter, of Rinke-

Noonan in St. Cloud, Minn.Deter has been traveling the state

talking buffers to offer some clarity.“It’s the law,” he said. “We need to

deal with it and hopefully make itsomething of a positive.”While Deter expects litigation to better

define the law and make minor changes, hesaid the law isn’t going away. The clock isticking, however, with buffers required onpublic waters by November 2017 and publicditches by November 2018.

On Aug. 13, nearly 200 landowners, county com-missioners, watershed districts, farmers and environ-mentalists attended an agricultural drainage workshop

in Mankato, Minn. The meeting was sponsored in part bythe I+S Group, a Mankato-based engineering, architecture

and environmental planning firm.Both landowners and representatives from watershed districts

expressed concern over the implementation, which is a work in progress.“It’s all a good idea, but to get it to work is

the problem,” said Lee Johnson of St. Peter,Minn., a field representative for MinnesotaFarmers Union.

There’s much chatter these days aboutour crops. Record yields appear to be in themaking across the board for corn, soybeansand sugar beets. That was already accom-plished with the sweet corn and peas.

Even though I’m an Iowa immigrant Ibelieve Minnesota’s bushel-per-acre yieldwill eclipse our neighbors to the south thisyear. It happened once before — back in2006 Minnesota’s average yield was 174bu./acre; Iowa’s was 173 bu./acre. I believe185 bu./acre or better could happen this year.

This truly has been an incredible sum-mer. The “super summer” talk was pre-dominant at small town celebrationsacross rural Minnesota and Iowa nearlyevery weekend. About 3,200 folks showed up for thefree sweet corn feed at Olivia, Minn.’s July 25 CornCapital Days. Free sweet corn courtesy of MinnesotaCorn Growers and Farm Bureau’s free breakfastattracted hundreds to Farmfest Aug. 4-6.

Our thanks to the many who stopped to say hello atThe Land booth there.As I talked with exhibitors, themoney squeeze in agriculture was very evident this year.

Here in my neck of the woods, there was a greatretirement event Aug. 11 for one of the guys thathelped make Olivia the Corn Capital. Jim Boersma— “Mr. Pioneer” for the past 35 years across south-ern Minnesota — officially retired. Knowing Jim as Ido, however, very likely he’ll still be handling ques-

tions from his corn friends.And now the state’s great 10-day get-

together has begun. The Minnesota StateFair started Aug. 27; hope you can attendand enjoy.

Have you noticed that “poop power” ismaking news? We’re talking about anaero-bic digesters processing livestock manureto produce methane, and a few morebyproducts of value. I’m not suggestingthat with 20-plus candidates vying to

become the next President of the UnitedStates we’re likely viewing considerablepoop power the next several months.

Being respectable should be inherent when presiden-tial candidates are on display. However, politics byits very nature does not always deal in respectability.

This following letter struck me as being particu-larly relevant. Simon Black is the writer. He dwellsin the investment world. He’s directly to-the-point onissues facing America.

Johnny Cash never played Farmfest, saysMarlyn Buss. Responding to Marie Wood’s Aug. 21“Land Minds” column in which a reader reportedonce seeing The Man in Black at the famous farmshow. Buss called baloney.

If anyboy would know, it’s Buss, who owned andoperated Farmfest for 16 years. He purchased theFarmfest name in 1977 and revived the event onhis father’s farm east of Lake Crystal in 1982,transforming it into an ag trade show. Buss soldFarmfest in 1997.

In an e-mail to The Land, he noted that he

exhibited at the 1972 and 1976 events. Bussclaims that from 1982 to the present year, he hasonly missed one day of Farmfest. “Otherwise, Ihave been to every one, each day,” he wrote.

Buss said he understands that memory fails so hechecked the Johnny Cash website — Farmfest wasnot on his list of live performances, although he didplay the Minnesota State Fair in ’76. Buss isabsolutely certain the country music legend (whodied in 2003) hadn’t performed at Farmfest under hiswatch because he never wrote a check out to Cash.

Rare is the day any newspaper isprinted without a mistake. All strive forperfection; few ever achieve it.

Newspapers, of course, don’t make mis-takes; newspaper reporters and editorsmake mistakes. Last week, one of thosereporters was me.

In a column outlining the newly rein-stated lawsuit challenging how theNational Pork Board paid the NationalPork Producers Council a staggering $60million for the slogan Pork. The OtherWhite Meat, I noted, “The Board’s bossat the time, Steve Meyer, wrote that theincrease would ‘allow the NPPC to getthe money they need for the next fouryears.’”

According to the lawsuit, the Board’s boss did sayexactly that. The suit also makes clear that theboss’s name was Steve Murphy, not Steve Meyer.

Meyer isn’t Murphy, so the mistake is all mine andthe aggrieved Steve Meyer let me know it. “Mr. Gue-bert,” he e-mailed within a day of the column beingpublished in Iowa, “I was never CEO of the NationalPork Board. As with a lot of things you write, youdon’t have your facts straight.”

The first point is, of course, fair; the latter, how-

ever, gratuitous. Mistakes happen; rub-bing them doesn’t correct them. We cor-rect our mistakes.

The, if you recall, column outlined a 2012 lawsuitfiled by the Humane Society of the United Statesagainst Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack. In it,HSUS alleges “unlawful expenditures” of federalcheckoff dollars paid by the National Pork Board —overseen by the U.S. Department of Agriculture — tothe National Pork Producers Council, a former keyBoard contractor and pork’s top lobbying group.

Specifically, HSUS claims USDA OKed the Board’sspending $60 million in pork checkoff funds to buy

Mr. Guebert, I was neverCEO of the National PorkBoard. As with a lot ofthings you write, youdon’t have your factsstraight.

— Steve MeyerFARM & FOOD FILE

By Alan Guebert

OPINION

HAGEN, from pg. 2gasoline alone was responsible for over15 percent of their 1933 tax revenue.

What’s curious is that the Senate Finance Commit-tee issued a report the following year stating that thefederal gasoline tax should be repealed. But thatnever happened. Instead it went up.

Under President Eisenhower, the tax increased tothree cents per gallon. Under Reagan, nine cents. It’srisen steadily through the years to a level of 18.4cents for every gallon of unleaded fuel, and 24.4 centsper gallon of diesel.

All of this tax revenue is supposed to go to the Fed-eral Highway Trust Fund, something establishedback in the 1950s to finance the care and mainte-nance of the nation’s highways. And now it, too, isinsolvent.

Earlier I told you about Social Security’s DisabilityInsurance Trust Fund, which will become insolventin a matter of months. The DI problem (just like therest of Social Security) has been a long time coming.

But rather than form some meaningful solution,Congress instead opted to commit financial fraud bycommingling DI monies together with the otherSocial Security funds. Now comes the Highway TrustFund. The difference between DI and the HighwayTrust fund is that this one won’t be insolvent in a

matter of years or months. Their owndata shows that it may

very well be toast… today.Once again, Congress to the rescue.

Having waited until literally the lastminute, their solution is... keep onwaiting... kick the can down the road.Congress July 31 passed a 90-daystay of execution for the HighwayTrust Fund, which only delays theinevitable.

Over the next three months they’ll sitdown to the task of figuring out whoto steal from. They’re either going toraise taxes on you. Or they’ll raisetaxes on someone else, the costs ofwhich will ultimately be passed on toyou. Or simply default on their obliga-tions to the residents of the UnitedStates to maintain the federal high-way system.

None of this should come as a surprise. This is whathappens when nations go bankrupt: one by one, itsmajor institutions fall into insolvency. Today it’s theHighway Fund. Tomorrow it’ll be the Pension BenefitGuarantee Corporation and the United States PostalService. Then it’ll be Social Security and Medicare.Then the Federal Reserve. And eventually it’ll be the

United States government itself.The signs are everywhere — every

single one of these hallowed institu-tions is flat broke. It’s no longer somewild assertion to say that. Their ownfinancial statements show thatthey’re insolvent. And it’s not hard tofigure out what happens down theroad.

Bankrupt governments invariablyresort to plundering the wealth oftheir citizens. Inflation. Higher taxes.Confiscation of assets. Indebtingunborn generations. And defaultingon the benefits promises they made tovoters.

Until tomorrow, Simon Black,Founder, SovereignMan.com

Tough language from Mr. Black.Those of us in the senior citizen cat-

egory very likely agree. Our concern is about ourgrandchildren. With an $18 trillion debt alreadyhanging on each of us what is the reality of Amer-ica’s future? Very likely our great country’s presi-dential candidates will share some answers. Butthere is a significant difference between answersand solutions.

Even though you’re not enjoying your commodityprices, do enjoy your harvest. For many your com-bine monitors will be displaying yield data the high-est you’ve ever seen.

GUEBERT, from pg. 4Pork. The Other White Meat (which the suit abbrevi-ates PTOWM) slogan from NPPC because the lobbygroup had trademarked it “contrary to law.”

That action, claims HSUS, “allow(ed) the Boardand NPPC to evade federal restrictions against theuse of pork checkoff dollars for purposes of influenc-ing legislation and government policy” — lobbying.

How that $60 million deal came about, according toHSUS, involves both Murphy and Meyer. It began“…in 2004 [when] the Board entered a new agree-ment with NPPC relating to the annual license forPTOWM.”

“Under the new license, the Board increased itsannual payment to NPPC from one dollar to$818,000. In its message to the president of the PorkBoard about the agreement, Board CEO Steve Mur-phy wrote that the increase in the annual licenserate… would ‘allow the NPPC to get the money theyneed for the next four years.’”

But, explains the lawsuit, the $818,000 was morethan two times the amount the Board’s own consult-ant figured the slogan was worth.

“Although Steve Meyer, an agricultural economistand consultant to the Board on the valuation ofPTOWM, had previously prepared a report recom-mending that the Board should pay no more than$375,000 annually to license the mark, the Boardagreed to this new fee rate of more than double thatvaluation.”

So, explains the lawsuit, Steve Murphy’s grouphired Steve Meyer. Murphy’s group, however, puntedon Meyer’s professional advice to pay no more than$375,000 annual license fee and, instead, paid$818,000. Why?

Two years later, in 2006, the suit continues, thecost exploded — to $60 million, or $3 million per yearfor 20 years — when the Board agreed to buyPTOWM.

Prior to that deal, too, explains HSUS, “Dr. SteveMeyer” again “... advised the Board that… therewould have been little market other than the Boardto purchase the generic slogan… (and) that it wouldbe politically difficult for the NPPC to sell the markthat was built with producer funds to any individualcompany.”

So, why did the checkoff Board pay even a nickel —let alone $60 million — for Pork. The Other WhiteMeat campaign when, according to the lawsuit, ithad already paid “$500,000,000 in checkoff fundspromoting PTOWM in its advertising programs”?

The answer, HSUS alleges, is to illegally use check-off funds to finance NPPC lobbying. If so, that was ahuge mistake.

Hey, mistakes happen. I know.The Farm and Food File is published weekly

through the United States and Canada. Pastcolumns, events and contact information are postedat www.farmandfoodfile.com. ❖

Guebert: Why did Pork Board overpayfor ‘Other White Meat’ slogan?

They’re goingto raise taxeson you. Orthey’ll raisetaxes on some-one else, thecosts of whichwill ultimatelybe passed on toyou.

BUFFERS, from pg. 1Buffer law

Scientific research shows buffers improve waterquality, said John Jaschke, executive director of theMinnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources.

The law requires a 50-foot average buffer widthwith a 30-foot minimum on public waters and a 16.5foot (one rod) width on public ditches.

Public ditches run through private farm land.Considerable discussion went into the size of bufferstrips.

“You want to use the smallest amount of land youcan to do the most public benefit,” Jaschke said.

Buffers must be perennial vegetation, Jaschkenoted, but they can be hayed, grazed or driven on.

The one-rod requirement will also take effect onprivate ditches that are within the benefited area ofa public drainage system, said Deter.

Soil and Water Conservation Districts will stillplay a prominent role in working with landownersto get buffers installed. Landowners also maychoose an alternative practice from a list on theBWSR website, said Jaschke.

“Buffers are an important water quality practice,”said Jaschke. “They aren’t the only one.”

Both Jaschke and Deter said the timeline andresponsibility falls on landowners.

Pat Duncanson, a corn, soybean and livestock pro-ducer from Mapleton, Minn., is involved in the Le

Sueur River Watershed Network. He questionedwhether the state would see a measurable impact onwater quality after so much private and publicmoney and effort has been put into buffer strips, at atime when ag producers are feeling pressure fromconsumers regarding farming practices.

“We have a window in the next five years to dothings that we know really have an impact on ourriver,” said Duncanson. “The local watersheds arewhere the rubber hits the road. It’s one of those localissues that becomes global.”

Jaschke’s advice to local watershed districts: “If abuffer isn’t the right practice for that place, then dosomething that’s better or equivalent to, and then Ithink we will see measurable gains.”

Jaschke said he would take the suggestion to putmechanisms in place to measure water qualityprogress.Map

The first step is that by July 2016 the MinnesotaDepartment of Natural Resources plans to complete

an analysis and prepare a map of where buffers arerequired. In some places these lines are clear, but notso in other places, said Jaschke.

“A lot of landowners don’t know where buffers arerequired on their property,” he said.

DNR may need help from drainage authorities andSWCDs to map out the benefited area of a publicdrainage system, he noted.

“Whatever it takes so the DNR can have a clearline of where that benefited area is,” said Jaschke,“because then the ditches within it, both public andprivate, are going to be subject to that one rod.”

As a ditch lawyer, Deter said his No. 1 piece ofadvice for landowners is to review the DNR map.

“When the DNR map comes out, you need to studythat map,” he said. “Those private ditches will bepart of this map.”

In addition, SWCDs can identify waters that needbuffers or alternative practices.

As far as financial assistance for buffers, Jaschkesaid the best bet is still the Conservation ReserveProgram and Continuous CRP, as well as Reinvest inMinnesota buffer easements. According to the BWSRwebsite, landowners may be eligible for compensa-tion from the drainage authority.

Exemptions to the buffer law include land alreadyenrolled in CRP, roads and other activities. Buffers arenot required on waterfront property to allow access,which Deter said he understands within reason.

“To want to buffer everything and then put fertil-izer right down to the lake so you can have a greengrass,” said Deter. “That’s eventually going to have tobe addressed.”

Deter presented a list of possible impacts of thelaw, which include increased tiling to replace smallerditches, redistribution of property taxes and redeter-mination of benefits.Compliance

The SWCD is responsible for notifying the countyor watershed district if a landowner is not in compli-ance. Then the county or watershed district mustprovide the landowner with a list of correctiveactions and a timeline to meet the requirements,said Deter.

“They (SWCDs) are not the enforcement, they aresimply the reporters,” said Deter.

If the landowner doesn’t comply, then a fine of $500may be issued. The landowner will still have toinstall the buffer.

Jaschke cautioned that the fine can be reissuedmultiple times and Deter advised compliance overpaying the fine.

While enforcing the law is local, the state maywithhold funding from SWCDs, counties or water-shed districts should they fail to enforce compliance,explained Deter. ❖

Shiny grain bins dot the landscape of rural Amer-ica. They represent the bounty of a good harvest butthey can quickly become a tomb when a farmer does-n’t take proper safety precautions before entering abin.

The very nature of farming — working under pres-sure in potentially hazardous situations — has madethe industry one of themost dangerous in thenation. Even well-trained, conscientiousworkers can fall victim tograin bin hazards.

Studies have deter-mined that an adult in abin of grain can beengulfed in just five sec-onds, and completelysubmerged in flowinggrain in 60 seconds. More than half of grain engulf-ments result in death.

A Purdue University study revealed that a recordnumber of 51 grain entrapments occurred in 2010,but the number declined slightly over the next twoyears. Volunteer fire and rescue units, often the firstand only line of defense, respond quickly when theurgent call comes to them. Unless they have properequipment, however, and advanced training to usethe equipment, they may waste costly time or evenfail to save the trapped individual.

Since they are often manned by volunteers, fireand rescue squads depend on outside resources toprovide funds for the equipment necessary to facili-tate the rescue. Agriculture-related businesses fre-quently have moneys available for safety equipment.Grants

DuPont Pioneer, producer of hybrid corn since1926, has established a grant program to benefit itscustomers’ communities. First responders and fire

department rescue squads work through sales repsfor grant money to purchase needed equipment suchas grain rescue tubes and augers.

“We have given close to $100,000 in the Midwest tofire departments for rescue equipment,” said JoeMartin, communications manager with DuPont Pio-neer in Mankato, Minn.

Martin listed rescue accessories including ropes,

grass fire equipment and water rescue equipmentpurchased with Pioneer grant funds by workingwith a local Pioneer seed representative and thecontact individual for the fire department.

After the rescue department completes a ques-tionnaire, the seed dealer submits the document tothe appropriate office.

RESCUE, from pg. 7Meadowland, a southwestern Min-

nesota elevator co-op, is also willing toprovide funds to purchase fire/rescueequipment.

“In the past few years we’ve helpedthe majority of towns around us,” saidJohn Valentin, Meadowland managerin Lamberton.

He went on to say that the co-opdonates to area hospitals, schools, andambulances as well as fire depart-ments.

“They’re important to our mem-bers,” Valentin said.

Since 2001, the AgStar Fund forRural America has donated more

than $5 million to improvements inour rural areas. Grant recipients canreceive up to $10,000 for projects thatfulfill the fund’s mission.

In a press release, John Monson,chair of the AgStar Fund’s Board ofDirectors, noted that “through theFund for Rural America, we are able tofulfill our mission of enhancing life inagriculture and rural America by pro-

viding funds to those who need itmost.”

The Emergency Equipment GrantProgram enables rural volunteer firedepartments or ambulance teams inan AgStar service area to apply forgrant money to purchase emergencyrescue equipment. Since the inceptionof this program, $713,245 has beengiven to this equipment fund.Rescue equipment

Grain bin rescue tubes must be light-weight, and easy to put together anddismantle. The Westbrook, Minn., firedepartment purchased a rescue tubefrom Gingway Products with a Pioneergrant through local seed dealer MikeHaas.

Having the rescue tube and augerpacked in the rescue vehicle is similarto an insurance policy — you’re glad tohave it, but you hope it’s never used.

The Westbrook squad plans to useMeadowland funds to purchase neces-sary accessories for the rescue tube,such as a harness, ropes and otherequipment to facilitate a bin rescue.

Another bin rescue system, the RES-Q Tube, is available through GSI, thelargest manufacturer of commercialgrain bins. This device is lightweightand simple to use by keeping the grainfrom applying too much pressure onthe trapped person.

In the ag industry, it’s important tomany companies to protect their cus-tomers and clients. One way to achievethat goal is to fund fire and rescueteams who are on call when an acci-dent occurs on an area farm.

Grain handling safety tips from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture

• Lock entrances to grain handling areas. • Install ladders inside bins. • Do not enter grain bins that are being loaded or unloaded. Flowing grain can trap andsuffocate you in seconds. • If it is necessary to enter a bin, shut off and lockout power before entering. Use asafety harness and safety line. Have several people outisde the bin to lift you out in caseof emergency. • Wear proper dust-filtering respirators when working in and around grain handling areas.

Inviting the public out to the farmis a popular way to show people howfood is grown and produced. That’swhy on Aug. 1, an agritourism lawwent into effect in Minnesota. Thelaw provides liability protection forfarmers who host Breakfast on theFarm, grape stomps, dairy days,you-pick-fruit, pumpkin patches,farm-to-table events and more.

With more people visiting farms,farmers assume more risk and thepossibility of lawsuits for injuries.For example, walking on farm landcan cause a minor injury such as atwisted ankle, or a major injurysuch as a broken hip.

The new statute states that an agritourism profes-sional is not liable for injury, damage, or death of aparticipant resulting from the inherent dangers offarming, ranching, winemaking and other agri-tourism activities.

Minnesota State Senator Vicki Jensen, DFL-Owa-tonna, was a co-author on the Senate bill. She is also anindependent insurance agent. She explained that farm-ers can purchase extra coverage when they hold events.

“This is that protection that you don’t need extrainsurance to participate in an agritourism activity,”Jensen said.

This is a signal to the agricultural community thatwe want them to let people experience what happenson a farm firsthand, she said — the way they growcrops and care for their animals.

“The hope for it is that it lessens the anxiety forlandowners if they want to participate,” said Jensen.

Farmers still need liability insurance, she said, andthe agritourism law will not offer protection in inci-dents of gross negligence or willful or wanton disre-gard for safety.

Farmers also will not be protected if they haveknowledge of a dangerous condition or animal or ifthey intentionally injure a participant.

Farm groups across Minnesota supported the bill —Renewing the Countryside, Minnesota Grown, Min-

nesota Farm Bureau Federation and Minnesota Farm-ers Union. The Minnesota Department of Agricultureand the commodity groups were in favor, as well.

Wisconsin, North Dakota and South Dakotaalready have agritourism liability laws on the books.Signs

To be protected from lawsuits, farmers must post awarning sign so visitors understand the risks of agri-tourism. The exact verbage is not mandated.

Thom Petersen, government relations director ofMinnesota Farmers Union, is spreading the wordabout the new law and covering the topic in countymeetings. Members have been asking questionsabout the signs.

The signs need to warn people that they are on afarm and there are risks to a working farm, he said.

Petersen expects the agritourism sign to be similarto the one he posts on the barn door of his horsefarm. The signs identifies Minnesota Statute604A.12 stating that sponsors of livestock activitiesare not liable for the injury or death of a participantor spectator arising from the inherent risk of live-stock activities. The inherent risks, including kick-ing, biting or spooking, are listed.

Eventually signs like this for agritourism will beavailable through a farm group or other entity, he said.

Even with the law, Petersen advised discussing lia-

bility insurance for on-farm events with your insur-ance agent.

“Keep your insurance agent in the loop,” he said.“The last thing a lot of people do is check with theirinsurance company.”

Going forward, the agritourism law should helpreduce the price of event coverage because farmershave shown a regard for safety, posted a sign andfollowed the law, said Petersen.Dairies

Bob Lefebvre, executive director of the MinnesotaMilk Producers Association, supported the bill for acouple reasons.

“From a dairy farmer’s perspective,” he said, “welike to bring people on the farm so they can see howwe care for the animal and the environment whilewe produce wholesome quality milk. It helps toeliminate one of the barriers for on-farm value-added enterprises.”

One such value-added enterprise is RedheadCreamery in Brooten, Minn. Alise and LucasSjostrom, with Alise’s parents, own the creamerywhere Alise makes artisan cheese. The creamery islocated on the family dairy called Jer-Lindy Farms.

“I was glad to see it pass,” Lucas Sjostrom said.“Every extra piece of protection for a business likeours is great.”Opens the barn door

Child safety tips from Minnesota Department of Agriculture

• Check your farm on a regular basis for hazards that caninjure children on your farm. Deal with obvious hazardsimmediately. • Children who are physically able to be involved in farmwork should be assigned age-appropriate tasks andcontinually train to perform them. They should beconstantly supervised. • Equip all barns, farm shops, chemical storage areas,livestock pens, with latches that can be locked or securedso that children cannot enter. • Always turn equipment off, lower hydraulics and removethe key before leaving equipment unattended.

AGRITOURISM, from pg. 9Lanning supported the agritourism bill even

though the law doesn’t directly help her operation.“Any time you help a farmer diversify, it’s going to

help their bottom line,” said Lanning. “This bill washuge in making it easier for farmers to do that.”

Lanning also plans to create community sus-tained agriculture on her property. To sell shares,marketing is focused on inviting people out to thefarm. You-pick events are one popular way to mar-ket CSAs.

Indirectly, the new law could help Lanning inaccessing funding for her ranch. While horses arelarge livestock, her stable is not considered a farm.The U.S. Department of Agriculture defines farmsas raising anything that you can eat, she explained.

“It opens the door to recognition of services as anagricultural product,” said Lanning. “It’s setting aprecedent.”

Lanning reasoned that if ag-related services arebeing recognized then more funding programs may be

offered through the USDA and Farm Service Agency.Lanning doesn’t agree with the argument that

horses aren’t part of the ag community. She goesthrough 750 pounds of feed per week bought fromthe local grain elevator, 800 pounds of hay per daybought from local farmers, and 60 pounds of beef perday bought from local farmers.

“We support it,” she said, “but we are not part ofthe ag community?”

Also, the equine liability law in Minnesota onlycovers non-profits. However, the new agritourismlaw protects for-profit businesses, said Lanning.

So next year, the horse industry can lobby tochange the equine liability law to cover for-profitbusinesses the way the new agritourism law does,she said. ❖

Liability law may ‘open barn door’ for others in agDawn Lanning of Hastings, Minn., is hopeful theprecedent set by Minnesota’s new agritourism lawmay soon help her horse and husky operation.

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

The annual Minnesota StateCattlemen’s Summer Beef tourincluded a stop at one of thestate’s best-known beef produc-ers — Schiefelbein Farms inKimball, Minn.

This family operation wasstarted in 1955 by FrankSchiefelbein. Now 60 years later withthe addition of nine sons, eight daugh-ters-in-law, 32 grandchildren, andmultiple great-grandchildren, theoperation continues to grow.

Today Schiefelbein Farms runs morethan 1,000 registered females, farms4,600 acres and feeds out 7,500 head ofcattle. Here’s a Q & A session withfamily elder, Don Schiefelbein.

Q: From where did your familyoriginate?

Schiefelbein: From the Prussiaarea of Europe dating back to whenthe Catholics were trying to get awayto avoid being persecuted. TheSchiefelbein clan came to America atthe turn of the century. They foundvarious locations across America tostart their new lives. My grandfather,for example, was from Oklahoma Citybefore heading up here to Minnesota.

Q: You are four generations deepin beef production. What’s yourtake on the beef industry today?

Schiefelbein: These are relativelygood times. However as you looktowards the future, you can see usbecoming a smaller and smallerminority. As legislators make laws andagencies write rules and regulations,my concern is that we won’t be pro-active enough to maintain our stake inthis industry.

Q: But as you get fewer produc-ers you tend to get bigger, so is themarket being threatened?

Schiefelbein: No, but what is hap-pening is that the “big farmer” imageis being created amongst the city peo-

ple. With that image comestheir concern for regulatingthese big boys. If they knewour business perhaps regula-tions could be fair and tolera-ble, but unfortunately they arewriting rules about an indus-try they know little or nothingabout.

Q: Are legislators tryingto stay informed about beefissues?

Schiefelbein: Per-haps a few. We hadtwo state legislatorsplus the ag rep forSenator Al Frankenon the previous busthat stopped thismorning. Theypulled me aside andsaid, “Don, we needto get urban legisla-tors out here. If theysaw this they wouldhave a much differ-ent opinion abouthow agriculturereally works.”

Q: You getaccused of becom-ing one of those“big boys” in this business. How doyou handle that charge?

Schiefelbein: We’re getting bigger,and proudly so. But we’re also gettingmore and more Schiefelbeins involvedin this total operation, so we need toget bigger. We have no hired help. Weare completely family farmed. We’reright at 60 family members currently.

Q: Do you see Schiefelbein Farmscontinuing to grow?

Schiefelbein: Well, we’re goodCatholics so perhaps that would be asafe prediction. So far we’ve proven tocreate enough new Schiefelbeins tokeep up with the growing cattle busi-ness.

Q: What’s your take on Country

of Origin Labeling?Schiefelbein: I think this is good,

but it needs to be done by the privatesector. I think any time we mandategovernment involvement we ask forsomething that the end result may dis-appoint us. I believe there is value inknowing where your food comes from.That’s now a steady message from con-sumers. But let enterprising individu-als figure out how to brand it, how to

merchandise it andhow to label it. Andwhere that hap-pens is where thedollars makesense. We knowthat if the localretailer believesAmerican beef hasvalue, they will doit. That’s what cap-italism is all about.We just want tomake certain therearen’t constraintsso people can dowhat is in the bestinterests of mer-chandising theirproducts.

Q: You have awell-known meat

retailer right here in Kimball. IsCOOL even an issue with KimballMeats?

Schiefelbein: No, it’s not. Whatthey promote is the locally grown mar-ket and that’s the trend that’s pickingup momentum, not only across Min-nesota but across the nation. So we’rearguing about something that’s almostalready antiquated in terms of wherethe industry is heading.

Q: Let’s talk genetics. Schiefel-bein Farms is big on traits thatimpact your bottom line. What’sahead?

Schiefelbein: The progress beingmade in beef genetics is incredible.Now we are producing follicles out of

animals as young as three months ofage. The Polzin Embryo Center, one ofthe stops on this year’s tour, is doingtechnology so when heifers are onlyone year old, they’re having calves.This rapid generation turnover isallowing us to make improvements atdramatic increases from formertimes.

Q: What’s the impact for the con-sumer who buys your product?

Schiefelbein: It should meanimprovements in all areas of carcassquality, whether it be taste, tender-ness, palatability, healthfulness —and of course important to the cattlefeeder is faster growth and improvedfeed efficiency, too. Plus healthier crit-ters in the feed lots.

Q: What’s the turnover rate offemales in your cow herd?

Schiefelbein: We get six to eightcalves per cow but because the newergenetics are so much more impres-sive, right now our turnover is evenquicker. We have a simple philosophywhen it comes to our cows. Theyeither work for us or they work forMcDonald’s. We do not tolerate opencows, cows with an attitude, cows thatdon’t raise a calf every year or cowsthat don’t wean a high percentage oftheir weight. It’s as simple as that. Ilook at my dad’s hobby of antiquefarm equipment and the Claus foragechopper we use today as an exampleof the amazing progress both in farmequipment and beef genetics now tak-ing place.

Q: So you’re not bashful aboutculling?

Schiefelbein: With today’s geneticsrapid culling is the new ballgame.Extreme genetic diversity like easy-calving heifers that produce superfast growing offspring, or animalswith incredible amounts of internalmarbling but very little outside fat —these are the genetic antagonism

Schiefelbein Farms may be big, but it’s all family

SCHIEFELBEIN, from pg. 11we’re breaking like never before.

We’re working with Polzin Embryo Center virtu-ally on a day-by-day basis. Embryo transfer isalready big in the beef industry and will only get big-ger. We just purchased a facility that Polzins areleasing from us to take their operation to the nextlevel. They mostly deal in females; the male part ofthis business we do through established studs wherethey buy our genetics (our young bulls) and propa-gate them in mass quantities. Everything we do isabout genetic improvement in genes.

There used to be a time when we sold beef cattle,then we switched into selling only Angus beef cattle,now we’re selling GenX. We’re selling genes — theoutcomes of what we expect things to do.

Q: So black critters won’t necessarily domi-nate the cattle business?

Schiefelbein: It’s all about genes. If they have thegenetic makeup to compete with what the Blacks aredoing today, they will win regardless the color oftheir hair coat or their hide. In our game, our concernis with customers one, two and three. We don’t carethe color or the label. We want to provide the genesthat will make them the most money. We have astrong contingency of SimAngus cattle that we mer-chandise. We’re selling about 100 bulls yearly fromthat blood line. Sometimes the Simmental brings the

genetics we need to make the Angus even better. WeDNA test every young animal. In essence what thatdoes is give us a proof as if that animal has alreadyhad 10 to 12 calves. What we are doing is sellingyoung animals with incredible genetic makeup thathave the accuracy of an old animal.

Q: Is the genetics or the fed cattle the keydriver in your business?

Schiefelbein: The core of our business is seedstock but our gross revenue is much larger on thefeeder side. To make the fed cattle operation work forus, however, is buying feeder calves from cattle thatalready have our genetics. So we know what the feed-lot performance will be when we restock each yearand that’s what makes fed cattle profitable.

Q: Rubber-covered slats are getting the bigpush these days. Any rubber on slats in theSchiefelbein operation?

Schiefelbein: We have a couple of test pens thatnow have rubber. We’re like a lot of folks — we haveto see it with our own eyes. If it makes enough differ-ence to cover the significant cost of putting in rubber,then it could happen. If animals are more comfort-able they do better. That’s always been my talk withanimal rights people. Cattle comfort is the startingpoint when you’re in the beef business.

The Associated PressSTERLING, N.D. — The grain ele-

vator that towers over this smallprairie town has been humming withworkers loading crops onto rail carsdestined for domestic and worldwidemarkets.

It’s a welcome sight in Sterling andacross the upper Great Plains, wherein the past two years grain elevatorsoverflowed and mountains of wheat,corn, soybeans and other crops lay inpiles, awaiting rail cars that seemedto never come.

Just in time for what the U.S. Agri-culture Department expects to benear-record corn and soybean har-vests, grain train cars are in abun-dance. The reversal is attributed tounprecedented spending on trackupgrades, political pressure frompoliticians in agriculture-rich statesand a drastic decrease in trains haul-ing crude and freight to and fromwestern North Dakota’s oil-producingregion.

“There had been some uncertaintiesbut it has gradually gotten better,”said Josh Mardikian, grain managerat the South Central Grain Coopera-tive elevator in Sterling. As he spoke,

a train was being loaded with 24 mil-lion pounds of spring wheat, much ofwhich would be used for a nationalpizza chain’s dough. Grain trains hadbeen running late by as much as 45days in the past 18 months, Mardikiansaid, but in the past week, mile-long,110-car trains had shown up some fourdays earlier than expected.

Oil activity in North Dakota waspartly to blame for the widespreadshortage and backlog of rail cars fromNorth Dakota and Montana down toKansas and east into Illinois, NationalFarmers Union President Roger John-son said. “It doesn’t take too muchmore on the tracks to really get thingssnarled up,” he said.

The long delays added to costs forgrain elevators and agricultural pro-ducers, but whether the costs trickleddown to consumers depends on thefood product manufacturer, said EdUsset, a grain marketing economist atthe University of Minnesota.

“It’s conceivable that every bakery inthe world could have tried to passthose costs along but oftentimes com-panies just ride it out until things getbetter,” he said.

Frustrations with grain shippingmade it all the way to Washington,where politicians last year called on

the Surface Transportation Board topress the railroads, which it oversees,for plans to address the backlog.

BNSF Railway Co. said it hasinvested billions of dollars in upgradesacross its rail network since 2013,including $1 billion in North Dakotaalone. The railroad is now shipping allfreight “faster, more predictable andmore consistent,” according to JohnMiller, a vice president who overseesthe Fort Worth, Texas-based company’sgrain-related business.

“We put the pressure on the rail-roads and were willing to be a pain tothem but we are also willing to givethem credit that they’ve owned up tothis problem and appear to have fixedit,” said U.S. Rep. Kevin Cramer, aRepublican from North Dakota whowas one of the politicians who pressedfor solutions. “We’ll see.”

Lochiel Edwards, a grain farmer whorepresents Montana’s Grain GrowersAssociation on rail issues, said the“only logical solution was to build abigger rail network.”

Also contributing to the turnaroundis a slowdown in drilling activity inwestern North Dakota’s oil patch dueto depressed oil prices. While thestate’s oil production has remainedstable at about 1.2 million barrels amonth, the percentage of crudeshipped by rail has dropped below 50percent due to increased refiningcapacity and additional pipelines.

“I hope we don’t have to put up withthe crap we had to in the past,” Min-nesota Farmers Union President DougPeterson said, especially in a yearwhen his state is seeing bumper crops.

Johnson, the National FarmersUnion leader, remains optimistic.

“Almost no one is talking about it,”he said. “That’s the best indicatorthings have eased up.” ❖

comparisonsAs you prepare for what is hopefully a great har-

vest, you may want to take some time to compareyour numbers to a benchmark in order to achieve apotential competitive advantage.

Three years ago AgStar began putting together anAnnual Grain Benchmark Reportwhich allows our grain producerclients to compare themselves vs.other AgStar grain producerclients. The table on the nextpage are some select grain indus-try factors showing the bench-mark averages for 2013 and2014. Also shown are AgStar’sLong-term Sustainable targets.We use these during discussionswith our grain producer clients(representing an operation withat least 185 bu./acre actual pro-duction history and 165 bu./acreAPH).

In a review of the data, what conclusions can wemake? Firstly, the grain industry factors shown donot necessarily guarantee profitability. All of thesegrain factors do, however, translate into howhealthy your operation might be.

Working capital per acre is showing a drop (for thesecond consecutive year) in part due to lower grainprices. You might be getting tired of hearing lendersdiscuss the need for having enough working capital,but having a higher working capital per acre doesallow you the freedom to take advantage of businessopportunities as they arise and enables you toweather periods of lower prices or lower yields. The2015 long-term sustainable target suggests a mini-mum of $250 working capital/acre. Even with the

Grain OutlookDeciphering theequity markets

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing Aug. 28.

CORN — When the dust settled on the corn mar-ket for the week, we hadn’t moved much despite afairly wide weekly trading range. China’s stock mar-ket plummeted 8.5 percent tobegin the week and the DowJones Industrial Averageplunged 1,100 points at onepoint! It was not surprising whenagricultural markets also spikedlower. The range for the week inDecember corn was from $3.651⁄2 to $3.86 3⁄4 per bushel. Forthe week, December corn wasdown 2 1⁄4 cents at $3.75 perbushel.

The main market mover wasthe action in world equity mar-kets. Corn spiked lower as wereturned from the weekend, but by the end of tradingon Aug. 24, prices had turned higher. The balance ofthe week was sideways to lower as the market triedto decipher world equity markets. A plunge in theU.S. dollar was ignored on Aug. 24, but it helped tolimit the upside in commodities as it rallied throughthe balance of the week. The dollar index tumbled toits lowest level since January before recovering.

Crude oil dropped to $37.75 before regaining trac-tion in short-covering. Corn conditions wereunchanged this week at 69 percent good/excellent,but there was a one percent switch from good toexcellent. Conditions should begin to decline as thecrop matures, but the fact the rating has held sug-gests yield estimates may not be as low as earlierthought. As of Aug. 23, 85 percent of the corn crop

Livestock AnglesCattle, hogs finish lower

The third week in August was not a very good weekfor livestock prices. Cattle, hogs and feeder cattle allfinished lower and near the week’s lows. Most of thisweakness will be pointed at the Chinese as theydevalued their currency at the beginning of the week.But it appears that was only thecatalyst to start the concern overthe prices for all commodities.

In reality all things point to aslowing global economy which inpart is our own U.S. economy.This is having a direct effect onthe demand for all economies andis in danger of continuing unlessthere is a turnaround in the eco-nomic outlook in all globaleconomies.

Both the futures and the cashcattle markets suffered a sell-offas a result of the Chinese news,losing any positive momentum they had in previousweeks. The supplies of cattle remain rather tight;however, it would now appear that demand willbecome the more important factor in price discovery.With cattle weights well above a year-ago levels, thebeef production is at or near last year’s levels, thesupply of beef has not suffered as much as one wouldhave anticipated. This would help explain the pastseveral cold storage reports that showed more beef instorage than expected.

On Aug. 21, the U.S. Department of Agriculturereleased the Monthly Cattle on Feed Report. Theresults are as follows: On feed 103 percent; Placed inJuly 100 percent; Marketed in July 97 percent. Thereport was interpreted as neutral by the trade. Look-ing forward, more emphasis will be put on demand

NYSTROM, from pg. 15was in the dough stageversus 81 percent on aver-age. In the same report, 39 percent ofthe crop was dented versus 43 percenton average. Harvest has begun in theSouth with Texas 47 percent completeas of Aug. 23; Louisiana 87 percent;Mississippi 52 percent; Georgia 62percent; and Arkansas 25 percentcomplete.

Weekly export sales for old cropwere a negative 5.2 million bushelswhile new crop sales were very goodat 53.5 million bushels. This was thelargest weekly new crop sales of themarketing year. This still leaves newcrop sales commitments at 261 mil-lion bushels versus 392 millionbushels last year, a 10-year low.

Brazil is on pace to export a recordamount of corn for August. It’s predictedthey will ship 4.5 million metric tons forthe month compared to the record forany month of 3.9 mmt. It’s expected theywill remain competitive in the worldexport market into January.

Weekly ethanolproduction was down13,000 barrels per

day for the week at 965,000 barrels perday. Stocks were unchanged at 18.6million barrels.

OUTLOOK: This week’s low at $3.651⁄2 per bushel will act as first supportwith secondary support at the contractlow of $3.57 1⁄2 per bushel. Resistancelies near $3.80 per bushel. Grower sell-ing increased with a late week rally asproducers prepare space for the newcrop harvest. Overall our marketsdirection was dictated by what hap-pened in China’s stock market thisweek. Next week we’ll see private cropestimates in preparation for the Sept.11 USDA crop report.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans gappedlower to begin the week, which wasbarely filled on Aug. 25, and ended theweek with a four-cent loss in theNovember contract that settled at$8.85 1⁄2 per bushel. November soy-beans made a new contract low of$8.55 per bushel to begin the weekbefore trading as high as $8.89 1⁄2 per

bushel on the same day. A sharp sell-off in China’s Shanghai Composite of8.5 percent caused prices to spikelower on Aug. 24 and then spent therest of the week recovering. The soy-bean market is very dependent onChina’s economy so any disruptionthere in demand will spill over to ourmarkets.

Soybeans and corn were able to stagesome rebound when China’s centralbank announced the lowering of theirlending and deposit rates by 25 basispoints each to 4.6 percent and 1.75percent respectively and cut the banks’reserve requirement ratio by 50 basispoints to 18 percent. This came astheir equity market lost another 7.6percent on Tuesday. We did see a pick-up in announced new crop sales thisweek of 460,000 metric tons tounknown for the 2015-16 crop year.

Argentina’s farmers held a five-daystrike this week to protest export poli-cies they say have stymied profits. Thestrike did not disrupt shipments sinceports had enough stocks to continue toship. More protests could be expectedas the Oct. 25 presidential electiondraws near. Growers would like to seeexport limits on wheat and corn lifted,as well as the 35 percent export tax onsoybeans.

Weekly export sales for soybeans also

showed net cancellations of 4.8 millionbushels. New crop sales were very goodat 53.5 million bushels. New crop salescommitments are the second lowest inthe last seven years at 438 millionbushels compared to 765 millionbushels last year at this time. China’sportion of the new crop sales are only4.9 mmt versus 12 mmt last year.

Soybean crop conditions wereunchanged at 63 percent good/excel-lent for the fourth week in a row.Recent rainfall around the Midwestlends better confidence that yieldsmay not slip much, if any, from theJuly 46.9 bu./acre forecast. As of Aug.23, 96 percent of the soybeans wereblooming compared to 98 percent onaverage and 87 percent were settingpods versus 88 percent on average.

OUTLOOK: China, China, China! Asgoes China’s economic scene, so goesthe U.S. soybean market. At least thatwas the case this week. First supportfor November soybeans is the new con-tract low at $8.55 per bushel withresistance at $8.89 1⁄2/$8.92 1⁄2 perbushel. Beans are beginning to turnand warmer weather in the comingweek should push that process along.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes forthe week ending Aug. 28: DecemberChicago wheat plunged 20 1⁄4 centslower, Minneapolis only lost 6 1⁄2 centsand Kansas City dropped 9 1⁄4 centsper bushel. Crude oil stage a signifi-cant rally, up $4.77 at $45.22 per bar-rel, ultra-low-sulfur diesel rallied 113⁄4 cents, reformulated blendstock foroxygenate blending only managed a 11⁄4 cent gain and natural gas was up 13⁄4 cents. The U.S. dollar index up1.119 higher for the week at 96.127 (asof Friday afternoon) after falling aslow as 92.621 to start the week. ❖

As goes China’s economy, so go U.S. soybeansMARKETING

LARSON, from pg. 15potential for great yields, if prices staylow, will you have enough workingcapital to make it through the leanyears ahead? I am encouraging farm-ers to take the opportunity now torebuild working capital for the future.

A lower land cost per acre doestranslate into profitability. Drivingthis overall cost down continues to bethe No. 1 activity most grain produc-ers are working on for 2016, eitherthrough negotiating land rents orrestructuring land debt to improveworking capital and possibly cashflow. The 2014 average shows theaverage land cost at $233/acre whichis under the sustainable target. Nodoubt there is more work to be donehere. Noting where your total landdebt per owned crop acre is and whereyou and your lender’s comfort level isshould always be a consideration.

One grain industry factor to keep

your eye on is intermediate principal,interest, and equipment lease per acre.There is a correlation between this fac-tor and machinery and vehicle invest-ment per acre. Grain producers haveincreased their investment in machin-ery possibly due to tax management,better technology, and/or lower overalllabor costs, but in the end, the higherinvestment does have an impact onprofitability.

Reviewing your numbers with yourAgStar financial services officer isalways a good idea to determine whereyour competitive advantage is.

TEALE, from pg. 15while supplies remain relatively tight.Producers should take market actionunder consideration and protect inven-tories when the opportunity presents.

The hog market seemed to getcaught up in the international eventsthese past few weeks. The export mar-ket has the possibility of slowing dueto the currency events that have takenplace. Not only the devaluation of theChinese currency but also the strengthin the U.S. dollar could have a signifi-cant influence on the export of pork.

With an increasing hog herd andslower demand, this could spell troubleahead for hog prices. The fact that porkis one of the best values in the meatcomplex could aid in keeping the mar-ket from a severe price slide. Demandversus the supply of pork will be thedominant feature in the price discov-ery in the weeks and months ahead.

Because the future market is alreadyat a large discount, producers shouldbe cognizant of this situation and pro-tect inventories as warranted. ❖

Pork exports could slowdue to currency events

The soybean market isvery dependent onChina’s economy soany disruption there indemand will spill overto our markets.

Cool temperatures and dry weather across most ofMinnesota allowed farmers 5.3 days suitable forfieldwork during the week ending Aug. 30, accordingto U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agri-cultural Statistics Service. Only extreme southernand northern parts of Minnesota received significantrainfall throughout the week. Other field activitiesfor the week included harvesting hay and choppingcorn for silage.

Sixty-five percent of Minnesota’s corn acreage wasin or beyond the dent stage, 10 days ahead of lastyear and six days ahead of the five-year average.Corn condition rated 88 percent good to excellent.Corn harvested for silage was five percent complete,over one week behind normal. Twenty-seven percentof the soybean acreage was turning color or beyond,nine days ahead of last year and four days ahead ofaverage. Soybean condition rated 79 percent good toexcellent, with small portions of the crop starting todrop leaves.

Small grain harvest was over 95 percent complete,well ahead of both last year and normal. With 81percent of the dry edible bean crop turning color orbeyond, 44 percent of the crop was dropping leavesor beyond, nine days ahead of average. Dry ediblebean condition rated 72 percent good to excellent.Twenty-four percent of the potato crop was har-vested, with 92 percent of the acreage rated in goodto excellent condition. Sunflower condition rated 62

percent good to excellent. Sugarbeet harvest was sixpercent complete, two weeks ahead of average. Sug-arbeet condition rated 85 percent good to excellent.

The third cutting of alfalfa hay was 75 percentcomplete, eight days ahead of last year. Pasture con-

dition rated 73 percent good to excellent, up slightlyfrom last week. Livestock were comfortable with thecooler than normal temperatures.

It appears highly likelythat many crop producersin Minnesota and northernIowa that are enrolled inthe county yield-based AgRisk Coverage farm pro-gram choice on their cornbase acres will earn a sig-nificant farm program pay-ment for the 2014 crop year.In addition, farm operatorsin some counties may alsoearn an ARC-CO paymenton soybean base acresfor the 2014 crop year.

At current estimatedmarket year averageprices, it is not likely that producersthat enrolled in the Price Loss Cover-age program will earn a farm programpayment for either corn or soybeansfor the 2014 crop year.

All farm program payments for the2014 crop year will be paid after Oct. 1.

As of Aug. 1, the currentU.S. Department of Agricul-ture estimate for the 2014MYA price for corn is $3.70per bushel. Based on thatMYA price estimate, theprojected 2014 ARC-CO pay-ment for corn in most Min-nesota and Northern Iowacounties would be at themaximum payment level.Estimated maximum ARC-CO payment rates in vari-

ous counties are from$70 to just over $80 percorn base acre in south-

ern Minnesota andnorthern Iowa, from $60 to $70 percorn base acre in central Minnesota,and slightly less than that amount innorthern Minnesota.

As of Aug. 1, the current USDA esti-mate for the 2014 MYA price for soy-beans is $10.05 per bushel. Based onthat MYA price estimate, the projected

2014 ARC-CO payment on soybeanbase acres in Minnesota and northernIowa would range from zero to $50 persoybean base acre. Approximately halfof the counties would likely get either apartial or maximum payment for 2014,depending on the 2014 average countysoybean yield, compared to the five-year average county yield. As a result,producers in one county may receive asignificant 2014 ARC-CO payment ontheir soybean base acres, while produc-ers in the neighboring county mayreceive no payment.

Based on the current 2014 MYA priceestimates of $3.70 per bushel for cornand $10.05 per bushel for soybeans,there would not be a 2014 PLC farm pro-gram payment for either corn or soy-beans. If the final corn MYA price onSept. 30, 2015, drops below $3.70 perbushel, there would be a very small 2014PLC payment on corn base acres Thesoybean MYA price needs to be below$8.40 per bushel before any PLC pay-

ment would occur on soybean base acres.MYA price

The MYA price for a given crop yearis used to calculate any potential pay-ments for the PLC, ARC-CO and ARC-IC programs. The historical MYA pricesare also used to determine the “bench-mark revenues” for both the ARC-COand ARC-IC program options. The MYAprice for a given commodity is notbased on the Chicago Board of Tradecommodity prices, or any specific localor terminal grain prices. The MYAprice is the 12-month national averageprice for a commodity, based on theaverage market price received at thefirst point of sale by farm operatorsacross the United States.

The USDA National AgriculturalStatistics Service collects grain salesdata on a monthly basis, which is then“weighted” at the end of the year, basedon the volume of bushels sold in each

THIESSE, from pg. 18in the year that a crop is harvested, and con-tinues until Aug. 31 the following year. For the2014 crop year, the 12-month marketingperiod to determine the final MYA price wasfrom Sept. 1, 2014 through Aug. 31, 2015, withthe MYA price finalized on Sept. 30, 2015.

USDA publishes monthly and sea-son-average estimated market pricesfor various commodities, which areavailable on the FSA farm programwebsite. These average prices are also updated eachmonth in the USDA Supply and Demand Report,which is usually released around the middle of eachmonth. Some universities also update projected MYAprices on a monthly basis for selected crops. KansasState University offers one of the best monthlyupdates of MYA prices for corn, soybeans, and wheat.The website is at www.agmanager.info/crops/ insurance/risk_mgt2015 crop year

The 2014 benchmark price for the ARC-CO pro-gram is $5.29 per bushel for corn, which will alsolikely be the ARC-CO benchmark price for the 2015crop year. As of Aug. 1, USDA has a preliminaryMYA price estimate of $3.35-$3.95 per bushel for the2015 crop year, or an average of $3.65 per bushel. Ifcorn prices are at that level or lower, there is poten-tial for significant ARC-CO payments again for the2015 crop year. The crop marketing year for the 2015crop year for corn and soybeans is Sept. 1, 2015 toAug. 31, 2016.

The big difference with corn base acres for the2015 crop year, compared to 2014, will likely be thefinal 2015 average county yields in Minnesota andnorthern Iowa, which will not be finalized untilaround March 1, 2016. Similar to soybean base acresfor the 2014 crop year, final 2015 ARC-CO paymentscould be highly variable from county to county. Thepayment level will likely depend on how the 2015county average yield compares to the five-year aver-age benchmark yield. Many county corn BM yieldsfor 2015 will be lower than 2014 BM yields, due tothe low county average corn yields in 2014. Many ofthose same counties are currently expecting 2015corn yields that are well above “trend-line” yields.

The 2014 benchmark price for the ARC-CO pro-gram is $12.27 per bushel for soybeans, which willalso likely be the ARC-CO benchmark price for the2015 crop year. As of Aug. 1, USDA has a preliminaryMYA price estimate of $8.40-$9.90 per bushel for the2015 crop year, or an average of $9.15 per bushel. Atthat MYA price level, the potential for receiving apartial or maximum ARC-CO payment on soybeanbase acres for the 2015 crop year would be higherthan for the 2014 crop year. Once again, the finalaverage county soybean yield for 2015, compared tothe five-year BM yield, will be a big factor in poten-tial 2015 ARC-CO payments on soybean base acres.Calculating 2014 ARC-CO payments

I have prepared an information sheet titled “Esti-mating 2014 Corn and Soybean ARC-CO Payments,”which looks at estimating the likelihood of 2014ARC-CO payments for corn and soybeans at various2014 MYA price levels, and various county 2014

NASS yield levels, expressed as a“percentage of BM yield”. The infor-

mation sheet also includes charts thatlist the 2014 BM yield, the 2014 NASS yield, and the“percentage of BM yield” for most counties in Min-nesota and northern Iowa. This Information Sheethelps explain the difference from county to countyfor estimated 2014 ARC-CO payments on soybeanbase acres, and could provide some early insight onpotential 2015 ARC-CO payments. To receive a freecopy of this information sheet, contact Kent Thiesseat [email protected].

The University of Illinois FarmDoc website hasprepared 2014 ARC-CO corn and soybean paymentestimates for nearly every county in the UnitedStates, at various MYA price levels. Following arethe links to that data:

Enrollment required by Sept. 30Farm operators are facing one more important

deadline for the ARC/PLC Farm Program for the2014 and 2015 crop years. They need to enroll in thefarm program for 2014 and 2015 at their local FarmService Agency office by Sept. 30, in order to be eligi-ble for farm program payments for those two years.Failure to enroll in the farm program by Sept. 30could cost producers thousands of dollars in lostfarm program payments.

The deadline for farm operators to selecttheir five-year (2014-18) farm program choicewas March 31. The farm program choices werethe PLC program, the ARC-CO program basedon county yields, and the ARC-IC programbased on individual farm yields.Many producers thought that this was thefinal farm program enrollment time, and that

this sign-up would automatically enroll them in theUSDA commodity farm programs for the 2014-18crop years. However, enrollment in the farm pro-gram at local FSA offices is required on an annualbasis, in order to be eligible for potential farm pro-gram payments.

When farm operators enroll in the farm programfor a given year, they will not be able to change oradjust the five-year farm program option that theyselected for the 2014-18 crop years for a given crop.For example, if they selected the ARC-CO programfor corn and the PLC program for soybeans on afarm unit, they are required to keep those farm pro-gram choices each year from 2014 to 2018. However,they must enroll in the farm program at their localFSA office each year in order to be eligible for farmprogram payments. In addition, producers can notadjust crop base acres or FSA payment yields at thetime of annual farm program enrollment. The baseacres and payment yields were set for the 2014-18crop years during the original farm program sign-upperiod, earlier in 2015.

This column was written for themarketing week ending Aug. 28.

Cash dairy product prices were on aroller coaster the last week of August. After all, thisis fair season. The bearish July Milk Production andCold Storage reports provided the downward ride,demand was the uplifting force.

Block Cheddar cheese lost 8.25 cents by Thursday

but regained 4.25 on Friday to closeat $1.70, down four cents on the weekand 63 cents below a year ago. The

barrels finished at $1.60, down 9.5 cents on theweek, 74.5 cents below a year ago, and an unsustain-able 10 cents below the blocks. Product is making itsway to Chicago, particularly barrel, as 10 cars ofblock and 31 of barrel traded hands on the week. Thelagging National Dairy Products Sales Report-sur-

veyed U.S. average block pricegained 2.7 cents, hitting$1.7365, while the barrelsaveraged $1.7471, up a penny.

Some Central cheese manu-facturers report milk intakesare down slightly, due to theseasonal decline and theincreased bottling demand forschools, reports Dairy marketNews. A short stretch of hot,humid days created a little dipin milk production, but with

cooler temperatures and the good cross-ventilation ofnewer cow barns, the impact has been minimal, saysDairy Market News.

Cheese production is active with little extra capac-ity available. Cheese makers are buying occasionalloads of milk to fill capacity, but only when they canbe purchased at or below Class. Cheese demand con-tinues to be good.

Western cheese output is steady. The beginning ofschool terms and increase in bottling has pulledsome milk away from processing, but the impact hasbeen minimal. Manufacturers report a slow seasonaldecline in milk production but an adequate supplyfor processing. Domestic cheese demand and retailsales have been strong throughout the summer,according to Dairy Market News.

Spot butter, after skyrocketing 30.5 cents lastweek, shed almost eight cents this week in reactionto Friday’s Cold Storage data, and dropped to$2.2925 per pound. It regained a nickel Thursday,slipped a quarter-cent Friday, and closed at $2.34,down three cents on the week and 41.5 cents below ayear ago. Four cars were sold this week. NDPSR but-ter averaged $2.0210 per pound, up 3.8 cents.

Cream availability for churning is tight as butter-fat content in milk remains low, says Dairy MarketNews. Some processors prefer to sell cream asdemand and multiples remain strong. Consequently,butter production is marginally lower. At this point,the market tone is unsettled but some manufactur-ers expect an increase in production this fall to meetthe seasonal Fourth Quarter high demand.

Looking westward, Dairy Market News reports thatbutter demand is steady, but the increased drawdown of butter supplies normally seen in late sum-mer has not fully started. Some manufacturers arebeginning to see retail orders build for the holidays.Current production is steady to lower depending onthe strategies of cream use.

Ice cream production is slowing somewhat, butprocessors trying to build or maintain retail freezerspace are still creating demand for cream. Theincrease in school milk bottling is also making moremilk fat available for butter or ice cream.

MIELKE, from pg. 22below a year ago. Awhopping 33 cars tradedhands at the Chicago MercantileExchange this week, “the market oflast resort.” NDPSR-powder averaged73.55 cents per pound, down 2.2 cents,and dry whey averaged 29.96 cents perpound, down 4.2 cents. California’s lat-est surveyed nonfat dry milk price was74.6 cents per pound, down 3.7 cents onthe week.

The aforementioned Cold Storagereport showed July butter stocks at254.5 million pounds, down just 1.55million pounds or one percent fromJune but, surprise, stocks were up 73.6million pounds or 41 percent from July,2014, and revisions added 1.3 millionpounds of butter to the original Juneestimate.

American-type cheese, at 698.3 mil-lion pounds, was up 12.55 millionpounds or two percent from June and37.9 million pounds or six percentabove a year ago as shrinking exportsresult in more product going to storage.The total cheese inventory on July 31stood at 1.16 billion pounds, up 20.2million pounds or two percent fromJune and 107.5 million or 10 percentabove a year ago. The report adds morebearishness to the markets, especiallyon butter, and the highest butter pricein the world has resulted in a magnetand banner year for imports.

It was a rocky road this week for WallStreet due to, what the Drudge Reportcalled, “the Great Fall of China,” andCME dairy prices came under pressurein reaction to last week’s bearish JulyMilk Production report and the Aug. 28bearish Cold Storage data. EU Milkproduction was up 3.9 percent in Juneand Mexico was up 2.5 percent.

■

HighGround Dairy broker, EricMeyer, speaking in Friday’s DairyLine,stated “There’s certainly a lot of volatil-ity,” but he pointed back to the Aug. 18Global Dairy Trade auction which hesaid, “caused a bit of angst in the dairyindustry.” He admitted that the previ-ously mentioned factors have also hada negative impact on the U.S. cheesemarket and, while butter and nonfatdry milk have seen a bit of a lift, Meyerviewed that as “temporary and sea-sonal.”

The 1.2 percent increase in July milkdoesn’t sound like much, he reasoned,but it was above expectations andneeds to be viewed against the 3.5 per-cent growth in the second half of 2014.

The Cold Storage datafor both cheese and but-ter were “disappointing

for dairy farmers,” according to Meyer,“as stocks rose instead of contractingas is sometimes seen this time of yearand that put a damper to the market.”

He viewed Thursday’s rally in butteras “seasonal and fleeting” and said thegain in the nonfat dry milk price is“somewhat temporary as we feel theglobal market is still on the skids andstill could have room to float. Thoseprices don’t translate well into an AllMilk price for U.S. farmers,” he said.

Meyer is concerned about the cheesemarket heading into the end of theyear and advised dairy producers to“view the international markets andthe volatility there as something to bevery cautious over as they could bringour prices down by the end of the yearand the first half of 2016.” And, whenasked how low they’d go, Meyer saidhe’s nervous that cheese could fall to$1.30 to $1.40 by year-end and holdthere through First Quarter “as we tryand reshuffle.”

“Our milk production is just notfalling at a rate that it needs to,” heconcluded.

■

On a brighter note, June 2015 pack-aged fluid milk sales totaled 3.8 billionpounds, up 1.4 percent from June 2014,according to U.S. Department of Agri-culture tracking, first increase sinceDecember, 2014. June sales of conven-tional products totaled 3.6 billionpounds, up 1.5 percent from a year ago,while organic products, at 199 millionpounds, were unchanged. Organic rep-resented about 5.2 percent of totalsales for the month.

Looking at January to June, totalpackaged fluid sales, at 24.6 billionpounds, were down 1.8 percent fromthe same period a year earlier.

Year-to-date sales of conventionalproducts, at 23.4 billion pounds, weredown 1.8 percent; organic products, at1.2 billion pounds, were down 1.6 per-cent. Organic represented about 4.96percent of total fluid milk sales in thefirst six months of 2015.

The USDA latest National Milk Cost ofProduction report shows June’s total costswere down from May and well belowJune 2014. Total feed costs averaged$11.40 per hundredweight, down 26 centsfrom May, down 48 cents from April, and$1.95 below June 2014. Purchased feedcosts, at $5.94/cwt., were up three centsfrom May, down 19 cents from April, and

87 cents below June 2014.Total costs, including feed, bedding,

marketing, fuel, repairs, hired labor,taxes, etc., at $22.70/cwt., were down14 cents from May, 35 cents belowApril, and $2.05 below a year ago. Feedcosts made up 50.2 percent of totalcosts in June, compared to 51.1 percentthe month before and 53.9 percent ayear ago.

Milk production is lower across the

country, according to Dairy MarketNews. Bottling orders are increasingas most public schools reopened or willbe in the next few weeks. Manufactur-ing milk supplies are fairly strong inthe Northeast and Mid-Atlantic,steady in the Northwest, and lower inthe rest of the regions. Cream demandfor churning is good. Inventories aremostly tight throughout the country.

MIELKE, from pg. 23The USDA issued a report Aug. 25

that projected U.S. farm income willdecline by 36 percent this year, lowestlevel in the past nine years, accordingto Bob Gray, editor of the NortheastDairy Farmers Cooperatives newsletter.

“This drop in farm income reflectscontinued lower crop prices for corn,wheat and soybeans, along withreduced dairy and hog prices. USDAprojects that dairy receipts willdecline by over 29 percent in 2015compared to last year.”

The Wall Street Jour-nal says net farmincome will drop to$58.3 billion from $91.1 billion in 2014,according to Gray, as “The reduction inprices for corn and soybeans in particu-lar has been the result of bumper cropsin the past two years”

He warned that “The projecteddecline in farm income will have a rip-ple effect in the rest of the agriculturesector. For example, John Deerereported that its profits in the thirdquarter, which ended in July, tumbled40 percent. The decline in income, will

also likely affect landvalues in the Midwestin particular.”

Gray also alerted the industry Fridaythat Federal U.S. District Court JudgeRalph Erickson issued an injunctionlate Aug. 27 blocking the implementa-tion of the Waters of the U.S. Rule thatwas scheduled to go into effect Aug. 28.

Gray wrote that “The judge madeseveral points as to why the WOTUSRule, as written, should not be allowedto be put in place.”

He stated among other items that“EPA and the Corps of Engineers vio-lated its grant of authority by Congresswhen it promulgated the Rule and thatthe agencies did not properly follow theFederal Administrative Procedures Actwhen it published the Rule andsolicited public comments. He alsoadded that the Rule is ‘likely arbitraryand capricious.’”

However, EPA has taken a defiantstand on the court’s ruling saying itwill enforce the Rule in all other 37states that were not party to the law-

suit brought before the Federal DistrictCourt in North Dakota. The 13 statesbringing the case included Alaska, Ari-zona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Mis-souri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada,New Mexico, North Dakota, SouthDakota and Wyoming.

The narrow interpretation by EPA onthe scope of state coverage in theinjunction blocking implementation ofthe Rule will have to be sorted out bythe courts.

The latest full ‘From the Fields’ crop reports from our Minnesota

& northern Iowa producersThe Pulks Wannaska, Minn.

For Andy Pulk the wheat harvest is about halfdone. Rain showers had kept the combines out ofthe fields and slowed up harvest, Pulk told TheLand on Aug. 28. “Hopefully by the middle of nextweek, we’ll be finished,” he said, noting that“quality is excellent, yield is great. ... It gets to bea fun time of year at harvest.” Meanwhile, “thesunflowers are through blooming; now are filling,”and “the soybean fields look really good.” Pulk

said the corn should reachmaturity this fall, whichdoesn’t necessarily happenevery year for corn that farnorth. “It’s started to dent,”he said. Pulk noted that withthe crops doing well, it means

that “I’m pretty sure I can feed my family thisyear.”

The Lees McIntosh, Minn.

Back from her international travels, Joan Leewas happy to report that the trip was “wonderful... (Ireland is) probably one of the friendliestcountries.” The Land spoke with Lee on Aug. 28as she was getting back into the swing of thingson the farm. She and her husband, Mark, had justfinished baling straw the day before. She has morehay to cut down with her third crop — a relativelynew notion for Lee. “I only remember one other

year, doing third crop,” shesaid. Meanwhile, the corn is“kind of starting to dry,” andthe soybeans are “reallystarting to turn.” Lee expectedit would be a couple of weeksbefore the beans were ready

for harvest. “For the most part we’ve had a goodyear so far for weather,” she said. “Overall, it’sbeen a good year.”

The Haarstads Rothsay, Minn.

The calm before theharvesting storm is upon theHaarstad farm. John Haarstadreported the farm was “kind ofin a holding pattern,” when hespoke with The Land on Aug. 28. The focus rightnow is looking ahead to harvest and gettingequipment ready. As far as corn quality and yieldgoes, Haarstad said it’s looking like “average to

above average is attainable.” The soybeans are“really good ... just starting to turn with onevariety (and have) lots of pods.” Haarstadestimated it would be three weeks until harvest. Inthe meantime, he said, they’re “starting to get thebin site up and ready to go.” He said that crop-wise, “we’re sitting as good as we can be. Ourbiggest enemy right now would be the frost.”

The Filzens Renville, Minn.

Navy bean harvest will soon be underway forDale Filzen. The Land spoke with Filzen on Aug.28 as he was “getting ready to combine navys.”He planned on starting either Aug. 29 or 30 — “alittle on the early side.” Filzen’s happy with howthe navy beans look and expects that “they’ll bereal good.” The soybeans “got a fair amount ofwhite mold after the rain,” although the two inchesthat fell the previous weekend were certainly

needed. “Some of thesoybeans are starting to turn,”said Filzen. He expects it willbe three weeks until harvest.“The corn looks pretty good,”he said, observing that “someearly corn is starting to dent

— it’s coming along good.” Filzen said the sugarbeets are doing quite well, also. He said he’spleased they “got some moisture to finish (thecrops) off.”

The ThorpesCanby, Minn.

Five inches of rain fall at Nathan Thorpe’s farmAug. 18. “We are really wet,” he told The Landthree days later. But even with the abundance ofrain, he said both the corn and soybeans lookexcellent. “This corn and bean crop is made atthis point,” said Thorpe. His main thought now:“If the rain keeps coming, think how much funwe’ll have at harvest.” He’s also thinking harvestequipment, and is happy to report that it’s getting

close to being ready to go.Harvest is just around thecorner and Thorpe is happyto “have a great crop.”

The PagelsWinthrop, Minn.

The crops are in “prettygood shape” in terms ofmoisture on Delayne Pagel’sfarm. The Land spoke withPagel on Aug. 21; hereported that two inches of rain had fallen in thepast week. Before the rain, the heat was a factor:“It did a little damage to the corn. I think we gota little bit of ear tip back but not much,” he said.

The moisture had “pretty good timing for thebeans,” Pagel said; after the rains they were “anice dark green again.” Meanwhile, the kidneybeans are turning colors and Pagel said that“maybe in two weeks we’ll start harvesting.” Untilthen he’ll be cleaning out bins getting them readyfor corn. Pagel predicts that “it’s going to be anormal fall” for harvest.

The MarblesMapleton, Minn.

“The crops all look great,”Harlan Marble told The Landon Aug. 23, but he washoping that summer wouldmake a reappearance in theforecast. “We need some heat to bring this cornalong further,” he said. The corn has started toslowly dent and “we’ve got relatively good ears.”The soybeans are still setting pods, and Marble is

somewhat concerned that the crop is growing uprather than filling out. Overall, however, he saidhe has “no concerns with the crops whatsoever.”Marble will be taking a break from the farm tohave surgery on his wrist on Aug. 28, then on tophysical therapy. He is bound and determined toget all healed up and “be back in good shape todrive the combine.”

The HeusinkveldsWykoff, Minn.

Nate Heusinkveld’s crops are doing “real good”on the moisture front, with two inches of rain inthe past week. The Land spoke with HeusinkveldAug. 21 as he was gearing up for corn silageharvest — most likely the second weekend ofSeptember. He finished up his third crop haywhich “yielded really good,” and in about 10 days,the fourth crop hay will be ready for harvest. Thecorn is maturing, Heusinkveld said: “A lot of it,

the milk’s gone out of.” Hereported that the MowerCounty Fair went well, withone of his heifers moving onto the Minnesota State Fair.“The kids did good.” Now it’stime to get ready for harvest.

“We’ll go through the chopper, get the corn headready.” He likes what he sees out in the fields:“There’s going to be a lot of 200-bushel-an-acrecorn. The only thing left to worry about is a frost.”

The KempsSibley, Iowa

“The crops are looking good,” Brian Kemp toldThe Land on Aug. 23. He was happy to report thecrops aren’t showing any signs of heat stress, andwith two and a half inches rain in the last twoweeks they are doing well for moisture. “We’rebehind in heat units,” he said, although warmerweather was in the forecast. Kemp said the cornis “just starting to dent,” and he’s pleased thatthe ears are filled to the tip — something he

attributes to “good growingconditions and a lack ofstress” this growing season.Meanwhile, he said thesoybeans are doing well, too.Kemp did not have to sprayfor aphids this year, as they

seemed to mostly keep their distance from hisneighborhood. Overall, he said, “Prospects aregood for a decent crop.”

The Froemmings Garfield, Minn.

Most folks are talking aboutharvesting, but a littleplanting was also on RodneyFroemming’s mind. When TheLand spoke with Froemmingon Aug. 28 he reported “we’re starting to get readyto start planting rye.” He was looking to possiblystart his third hay crop on Aug. 29. “Last week wegot 1.3 inches, then we got another sixth-tenths

over two other rains.” Froemming said the cornlooks good, with early day corn 100 percentdented, and 92-day corn half dented. Thesoybeans will be ready to harvest after rye plantingis complete, he said, as “some of the earlysoybeans are starting to turn yellow.” Froemmingpredicts that “by the middle of September we’ll berolling.”

I really should have talkedto my mother before Iagreed to marry a farm boy.

My mother would havebeen able to tell me what lifewas like on the other side ofthe field — where the homeand family came togethereach day. And that gettingthe farmer away from thefarm was comparable toremoving stubborn toenailfungus from the toenail.

Actually, my parents didpile everyone in the family roadster ahandful of times to get away. We were afamily of nine heading out to Yellow-stone National Park, the Black Hillsand to eastern Iowa once to see thatpart of the only state my dad evercalled ‘home.’

I’m sure there was a tranquilizer bot-tle somewhere in the glove box on eachoccasion.

But those trips didn’t happen often.When you live with a farmer, there areonly certain times of the year whenvacations are possible. Of course, theschool year is taken, so that leavessummer time. If we were going on vaca-tion we’d have to wait until the cropwas planted and cultivated, the beanswalked and the hay baled for us and allthe neighbors.

There were mechanical breakdownsand buildings that needed attention,and livestock that needed to be tended— especially when the sows were hav-ing pigs. The sweetcorn needed to befrozen, chickens had to be cleaned, gar-den produce preserved and cowsneeded to be milked.

No wonder the word “vacation”needed to be dusted off when we heardrumors of it.

But if there’s one thing that’s trueabout farm kids, it’s that they know

how to make their own fun— because friends, andtown, are a long way fromthe farm. Thank God forrural siblings — there wasalways someone to playwith. I remember endlessgames of “Annie Annie Overthe House,” kick-over-the-wire, croquet, catch, andbadminton played over aclothesline — which, with afamily of nine — was usu-ally full of clothes.

Our mother must have loved havingsome summer afternoons to herselfwhile we dipped ourselves in the cop-per canner kettles and slurped coldwatermelon with reckless abandon.But I also bet she needed those tran-quilizers again when we came in cov-ered with mud from playing in thebackyard all afternoon in the water,and seeing that her Lilies of the Valleyhad fallen victim to muddy conditions,childhood antics and young clumsiness.

Sometimes Dad would grab a bat andball and hit some out for us to catch.How we loved it when he did that. Thefarm took all of his time.

Fast-forward to our own kids, wholoved growing up on the farm — evenwhen they had to help load hogs beforethey got on the bus. When our sonswere in second grade, they came homefrom school one day telling us that kidsin their classes said they smelled likepigs.

They spoke those words with grins —they didn’t even care because theyloved the work, though I’m sure it tooka while for everyone’s nose hairs togrow back in again. A mother can onlydo so much to help ensure an adequateshowering process between an early-morning hog-loading date, breakfastand the arrival of the school bus. I’msure the bus driver wondered what

went on around here.I guess that’s how it all starts with

farmers. They get the next generationof themselves hooked on the lifestyle,and so they, too, don’t mind if they

never see canyons of concrete andsteel, as John Denver sings. It doesn’tseem like work to them at such ayoung age — it already seems likemore fun than they could imagine —especially with a donut waiting forthem at the local convenience store onthe way to the hog buying station.Happiness abounds at that point.

With fun like that to look forward toon the farm, what kid really needs avacation? It’s probably just as well —there’s no time, and it’s less trouble toremove that toenail fungus anyway.

TABLE TALK

By Karen Schwaller

If we were going onvacation we’d have towait until the crop wasplanted and cultivated,the beans walked andthe hay baled for usand all the neighbors.

You are hungry.It’s been a long time since you’ve

eaten and you’re ready to recruit thefamily, march to the oven, draft a cou-ple recipes, and attack your plate. Andwhatever it is you’ll chow on, you canbet the U.S. military had a hand in it,as you’ll learn in “Combat-ReadyKitchen” by Anastacia Marx de Sal-cedo.

What’s inside the food you eat?As a “passionate home cook” who

devoured cookbooks “like novels,”Anastacia Marx de Salcedo wondered.With two school-age children, she nat-urally wanted to feed them the mostnutritious breakfasts and pack forthem the healthiest lunches possible— but while doing some research, shewas handed “an unpleasant surprise.”

It should come as no big news thatthe U.S. military has a lot of mouths tofeed. In order to do that, an entiredepartment has been toiling fordecades to create meals that are nutri-tious but efficient. What de Salcedolearned was that the government’smethods for making those meals have

affected what goes on your table.Thanks to the military, for instance,

we consume granola bars (meant togive soldiers an easily-toted energyboost) by the ton. We know what foodsremain tasty, packed in (and stored foryears in) tin cans. We enjoy freeze-dried produce at breakfast, but not onour sandwiches; researchers tried tofreeze-dry meat but soldiers hated it.

Because the military saw thatmicrowaves worked well to heat food,

those appli-ances areubiquitous inour kitchens.Uncle Samfinessedmethods formoving meatto far-flungeaters, which affects the way we buyour pork chops and steaks. Our bread,chips, snacks, “practically every bag,box, can, bottle, jar, and carton we buy”has been tinkered with by the U.S. mil-itary because it needs commercial foodproducers to be ready and able to rampup production quickly in times of war.

In other words, says de Salcedo, youand your children are “chowing downlike special ops,” just in case. And that,she believes, isn’t the healthiest ideawe’ve ever deployed…

Certainly, you love to eat. You mighteven enjoy making said meal, but willthat which you read in “Combat-Ready

Kitchen” put you at ease?Possibly not, because some

of what author AnastaciaMarx de Salcedo shares israther disturbing but sur-prisingly… not surprising.Using that conundrum, deSalcedo takes readers backto ancient times, helpfullyexplaining how the feedingof Roman troops hasevolved into the grab-and-go we enlist at home. Indescribing somewhat of ahistorical timeline mixedwith an untangling of mod-ern technology, de Salcedoeventually leads us to herconclusion of why militarymessing isn’t good for civil-ians — even though it’salmost necessary — and thenshe peeks into the future.

Be aware that this book isfilled with everything you for-

got from high school science class, andit’s a mess of acronyms. My advice,therefore — and especially if you loveto eat and like to know where your foodcomes from — is to try “Combat-ReadyKitchen,” but take it in small bites.

Look for the reviewed book at a book-store or a library near you. You may alsofind the book at online book retailers.

A new eight-part series of fact sheetson farming and agricultural legalissues is now available online.

The new topics cover entity selectionand restrictions, trusts, landowner lia-bility, water rights and drainage, miti-gating counter-party risk, labor lawand the Affordable Care Act. The factsheets are from the University of Min-nesota Extension Agricultural Busi-ness Management team and attorneyPhillip L. Kunkel and others from theGray Plant Mooty law firm.

The eight new fact sheets are part ofa 24-part farm legal series aimed atprotecting business viability and regu-latory compliance for farmers.

“The new fact sheets cover topics thatproducers have been asking questionsabout...” said Bob Craven, University of

Minnesota Extension economist. “Theupdates to the existing fact sheetsassure the series is current withchanges in Minnesota and federal law.”

Sixteen existing online resources inthe series have been updated to reflectregulatory changes. The revised factsheets cover topics including farmleases, agricultural production andmarketing contracts, financing thefarm operations, mortgages and con-tracts for deed, tax considerations ofliquidations and reorganizations, andbankruptcy.

The complete series of fact sheets canbe found at http://www.extension.umn.edu/agriculture/business/taxation/ orcall Gary Hachfeld at (507) 389-6722.

It has been decades since most people would go totown on Saturday night and listen to a commu-nity band concert. But the sound of the commu-

nity band has not died away completely. Some smalltowns still boast a band that stirs its listeners.

The Tracy Community Band celebrated its 25thanniversary this year under the leadership of ClintPeterson. Peterson was the local high school banddirector from 1960-1986. Many of the approximately35 members played under Peterson in high school,while some are current high school band members.

In 1990, Tracy held an all-school reunion, andPeterson directed a 100-piece alumni band for theoccasion. After the reunion, Peterson said, “a groupdecided to stay together and play.”

First trombone player Harold Hewitt is a retired

farmer who still helps his son on the farm. Hepointed out a number of men and women who comein from the farm for the weekly rehearsal and toplay at special occasions and in parades.

The oldest member is 79-year-old ChaunceyMuedeking who still farms because “I’m still havingfun,” he said. He has also been playing taps at veter-ans’ funerals for over 60 years.

The band plays at fundraisers and special events,and in local parades. They left the area once to go toWashington, D.C., when they were invited to repre-sent Minnesota at the National Festival of the States.

They make good music, but they have good fun, too.Joking around before an outdoor concert on a beauti-ful summer evening, one woman remarked thatwhen she raised her hand to keep a band going after

the reunion, “I thought we were voting for pizza.”Asked if they march in parades or ride a bandwagon,

there was a ripple of laughter. “We play or we march,” amember said. “We don’t have breath to do both.”

Their program of marches, hymn tune arrange-ments, and other band music brings back memoriesfor listeners who once sat at a bandshell andenjoyed a concert. Playing in the band is also memo-rable for some of its older members.

“Clint was the high school band director,” onemember said. “I feel like I never left school.”

The Tracy Community Band’s last performance ofthe summer season will be at the town’s Box CarDays parade on Labor Day. For more information onBox Car Days, visit www.tracymn.org. ❖
