Story on Page 22A

To the Editor:I’d like to offer my congratulations to the Minnesota

House and Senate on a fine session. They finished ontime and made some major improvements in the func-tioning of the state government. Most important theymet the challenge of finding the resources without rais-ing taxes in these difficult times.

The only tax that is popular is the one someone else has topay. The governor and his party, nationwide, are trying to“tax the rich.” Unfortunately the rich are the ones who cre-ate the jobs and they simply move their business to anotherstate or country and the jobs go with them. In the last yearCamera Arts of Lewiston, Minn., Boynton Trucking of St.Charles, Minn., Filmor Trucking of Cannon Falls, Minn.,and many others have closed up or moved away from Min-nesota. I know of at least three hardware stores that closedtheir doors in our immediate vicinity. We need the jobs inMinnesota and yet the governor insists that taxing the busi-nesses is the way to go.

Back in the ’60s we had a bill before the tax committee thatwould have increased the estate tax on higher value estates.It sounds good to say we’re going to have the rich pay untilone individual pointed out that most higher income peoplehave a home down south as well as in Minnesota.You know,he said,they simply are going to change their domicile to theone down south and you won’t be getting any of their estatetaxes.The same thing will occur with a lot of businesses,andthe products will say,“made in Texas-China-India-etc.”

The governor proposed a budget and the House voted onit.Only one member of the House voted for his proposal,130voted against it. The governor is responsible for the specialsession and he has to call you back. I hope that you give hiscaucus the opportunity to vote on his proposals so the peopleback home know what they have done. All of us should becongratulating our legislature for the job well done.Al SchumannEyota, Minn.

As a kindergartner, I wanted to be a cowboy.In first grade, an artist. In second grade, I wasshooting for an artist/astronaut combo. Inthird grade, just a regular astronaut. But byfourth grade — the year I peaked athleticallywith a third-place finish in the boys 400 meterrelay on track and field day — I finally decidedwhat I truly wanted to be when I grew up.

I wanted to be a motorcycle trials rider.It all started in the summer of 1980,

when I went with my family to the WestPottawattamie (Iowa) County Fair, bet-ter known as Westfair. It had every-thing a farm kid could ever dream of:country music, cotton candy, barrel races, demolitionderbies, weird chickens ... you name it.

While walking outside the grandstand area, my eyesfell upon an unusual sight. An obstacle course of somesort had been set up with fences, walls and big rocks,and guys on goofy looking motorcycles were ever-so-slowly creeping their way over and around it all.

I had grown up riding motorcycles — everyone inmy family had one, and I learned to ride my tinySuzuki JR50 before I could pedal a bicycle — butthis slow-motion spectacle before me was completelyalien. These guys standing up on the pedals of theirskinny, no-seat, grunty bikes weren’t trying to go asfast as they could, but rather to be as balanced andprecise in their movements as possible.

What I had discovered was trials riding, also calledobserved trials. Observed, because as the riders slowlymake their way around the course, they are watched bya judge. Every time a rider puts a boot on the ground tobalance themselves, they are assessed a point. If theymake it all the way around without touching down atall — known as “cleaning the section” — they receivethe ideal zero points. If a rider can’t finish the course —a “fiasco” — they’re socked with five points. At the end

of several heats, the rider with the fewesttotal points is the victor.

This 9-year-old was instantly hooked bythe artistry of the sport, and I pleaded withmy dad that my next motorcycle had to bea trials bike. At some point during thatfourth grade year, he came through for me.I don’t know how he found it, but one dayDad came home with a used 1974 BultacoSherpa T 250. I wasn’t aware of its signifi-cance at the time, but the lightweight, two-

stroke, Spanish-made Bultaco Sherpahad popularized the sport of trials ridinga decade earlier in Europe, and even

managed to find mild success in the United States.For a couple of years I rode that beautiful orange

bike all across the farm, oh-so-slowly through thewoods and over creeks. I’d climb it up cliffs, navigatebetween equipment and fencelines, and — only rarely— really open it up to see how fast it’d go down ourmile-long gravel lane. (It could go fast, by the way.) Iwould picture myself standing on the world champi-onship podium in Barcelona, holding aloft a giantshining trophy, feeling even prouder than when Ibrought home that third-place relay ribbon.

As with most boyhood obsessions, however, my inter-est in trials riding eventually waned. By the time sixthgrade rolled around I decided once and for all that Iwas going to be a computer programmer; the Bultacoexiled to the old barn, touched for years only by spidersand sparrows. And yet, for a brief moment in a youngboy’s life, the inspiration of something altogether newand exciting brought a tremendous amount of joy.

What will inspire a child’s dreams at your countyfair this summer?

LAND MINDS

By Tom Royer

OPINION

You and I know that if weput the horse before the cartthe chances of going any-where are a million timesbetter than if we put thecart first.

This barnyard variant ofNewton’s Second Law iswell understood by the hun-dreds of thousands of cow-boys who are not membersof the National Cattlemen’sBeef Association: horsefirst, cart second, giddyup.

When it comes to who’sin charge of the national beefcheckoff, however, the NCBA is, again,attempting to flip the laws of physics— the cart, itself, first; the horse, thecheckoff ’s Cattlemen’s Beef Board, sec-ond; and then well, nothing.

Wrongheaded as that might be it’sunderstandable given the fact that $45million or so flows from the Beef Boardto the NCBA for checkoff work mostyears, making the NCBAthe biggest checkoff hiredhand by far.

But bucks don’t make itboss. That job, by law, lieswith the 106-memberCattlemen’s Beef Board,appointees of the U.S.Secretary of Agriculture.

That simple line ofauthority — the BeefBoard, the NCBA, gid-dyup — was establishedwhen the checkoff was chartered byCongress in 1985. Eleven years later,however, it became tangled when cattleand meat groups merged.

The result, a confusing structure ofstate and national groups organizedunder the NCBA’s umbrella, gave theNCBA dibs on most of the checkoff pie.In 2011, for example, the NCBA “wasawarded 93 percent of available (check-off) program funding,” according toChuck Kiker, a Texas cattleman whoserves on the Beef Board’s operatingand budget committees.

That the NCBA is the biggest bene-factor isn’t an accident; it hardwired itfrom the start.

According to federal legislation under-

pinning the checkoff, the BeefBoard must, as June 3 memofrom the NCBA to the U.S.Department of Agricultureexplains, “carry out programsthrough national nonprofitindustry-governed organiza-tions active and ongoing beforethe enactment of the 1985law.”

Golly, who might that be?And just so the USDA gotthe clear message as towho that isn’t, the June 3memo includes this head

slap: “... CBB (the checkoff ’sgoverning Beef Board) does not qualifyas such an organization because it didnot exist prior to enactment ...”

In fact, the eight-page, June 3 memoto the USDA from the USDA is a clas-sic exercise in overkill. (Find it, andother supporting documents, atwww.farmandfoodfile.com.) It was writ-ten in response to the Beef Board’s

March 2011, 20-pointproposal to stream-line and reformcheckoff spendingand accountability.

The reforms, Kikerexplained in a June14 telephone inter-view, “are not aboutNCBA because thecheckoff doesn’t workfor NCBA; NCBAworks for the check-off. The reforms are

for every cattleman because every cat-tleman pays the checkoff.”

That’s not how the NCBA sees ’em; itcalls the reforms “dangerous,” “unwork-able” and “vague.”

What it doesn’t call ’em is overdue —especially after an audit of just 1 per-cent of NCBA checkoff contracts for2008, 2009 and part of 2010 forced theNCBA to repay the nearly $217,000 ofmisspent checkoff money last January.(The amount has since grown; repay-ment now totals $305,365 and “twoareas of billing issues” remain.)

The NCBA’s continued refusal toacknowledge needed reforms shouldsend a clear signal to the USDA that

the beef checkoff, as currently consti-tuted, is corrupt. What else would youcall a scheme where:

• the chief contractor has no competi-tion for millions in annual contracts;

• a “national” organization-contractorthat has fewer than one in 32 cattle-men nationally as members;

• a sledge-hammer lobbyist that sur-vives largely through non-lobbyingfunds, checkoff dollars, to underwrite

its lobbying and• an organization that continues to

repay misallocated checkoff funds.Call it want you will, but the NCBA

isn’t in charge of the checkoff. It’s the cart,and without the horse — the Cattlemen’sBeef Board — there’s no giddyup.

Correction

OPINION

The result, a confus-ing structure ofstate and nationalgroups organizedunder the NCBA’sumbrella, gave theNCBA dibs on mostof the checkoff pie.

U.S. Energy prices have risen to more than 6 per-cent of consumer spending — which may be a his-toric “tipping point.” Our food prices, meanwhile,have had their steepest increase in a generation, toabout 6.5 percent of spending. That’s a doublewhammy consumers haven’t suffered since JimmyCarter’s infamous “stagflation,” a painful mix ofweak economic growth, high unemployment andrising inflation in the late-1970s.

Both the high oilprices and the highfood prices tracedirectly back to the Obama administration. Oil hasgotten no scarcer during the Obama years, but the dol-lar has weakened by about 17 percent. The price of oilis denominated in U.S. dollars, so the dollar declinealmost exactly matches the rise in America’s oil prices.Meanwhile, the president has engineered a stop-stall

on domestic energy production, from Alaska to theGulf, making even our own oil more costly.

Some months ago I sat at an energy roundtablewith Congressman Markey of Massachusetts (ofWaxman-Markey cap-and-trade fame), the presidentof Duke Power, and the former director of PresidentClinton’s Council on Environmental Quality. Thesympathy at the table was for rigging higher naturalgas prices so the huge federal subsidies for wind tur-bines and solar panels would seem less a drain onour economic growth.

Recently, moreover, the Congressional ResearchService reported the United States has more fossilenergy than any other nation when we total our coal,oil, natural gas and our new shale gas and oilreserves. Far from having “just 2 percent of theworld’s oil reserves” we have centuries worth of fossilfuels — which the Obama administration is commit-ted to not using.

The food inflation too is now Obama’s. Under bothBush and Obama, the federal government has cheer-fully diverted huge amounts of grain to auto fuel,creating an artificial food shortage. That’s triggeredfood price inflation for the poorest around the world.Corn ethanol may be “renewable,” but the subsidiesmake it expensive to use.

Why not remove the federal subsidy and letethanol compete? Mainly because ethanol isn’t com-petitive or effective. And it is down right disastrousfor the environment. Right now, farm woodlots arebeing drained in the Corn Belt, and tropical forest isbeing cleared for more corn and palm oil in South-east Asia, responding to high crop prices. This is nota sustainable solution.

Last year, Stanford University praised NormanBorlaug’s Green Revolution for saving about 7 mil-lion square miles of wildlife habitat from beingplowed for more low-yield crops. Without the highercrop yields, we’d have gassed off soil carbon — asnitrous oxide — equal to one-third of the world’sindustrial emissions since 1850. The Stanford mes-sage is clear: don’t clear wildlife habitat for trivialpurposes. And this seems a trivial purpose —whether or not you believe in man-made globalwarming. Ethanol won’t make much difference.

Why not clean-burn coal, gas and oil to make the elec-tricity we need and admit the “green” solutions so farjust don’t work. Trillions of taxpayer dollars are pouredinto wind, solar and ethanol and none has proved to bean effective means of producing energy.

If the goal is to reduce CO2 the effort has not onlyfailed, but the need is appearing less and less valid.Thus far, the computer models have been wrong. ThePacific Ocean, our largest heat sink, has entered acool phase, and the tree rings and coral samples tellus it will probably last for the next 25 years.

Within two weeks at threedifferent speaking events vari-ous women asked me, “Haveyou read the book, ‘Heaven isfor Real’?” A friend of a friendhad passed the book on to meto read, but because I waspreparing for the speakingevents, I didn’t take time tocrack its covers.

On a Sunday afternoon afterthings had simmered down abit, the book became my prior-ity. After reading it, I wish Ihad made the time for this special book sooner.

“Heaven is for Real” is a true story by Todd Burpoabout his son Colton, who was 3 years and 10months at time of surgery when he experiencedheaven. The book’s subtitle tells it all: “A LittleBoy’s Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven andBack.”

His story is exactly what the subtitle promises itto be — astounding. Of all the amazing parts ofColton’s must-read story, the part that revisits mymind most often is how Colton would tell his par-ents, “Jesus told me to tell you, He really loves thechildren.”

He would remind his mom and dad morning, noonand night of this message. It almost hinged onannoying to them, but because of the repeatedmemo, they didn’t miss its significance: Jesus loveschildren.

Had Hank Wessels, the Ace of Spades, seen mysmall flower garden this spring he would’ve beenhorrified. It contained a dozen beautiful tulipswithin a grassy, weedy mess. Between my crazy fullspring schedule and more rainy days than sunnyones, the small flower patch was neglected. It was adisaster. Yet the tulips bloomed.

Seeing tulips thrive in less-than-ideal conditionspointed me to the God of hope who loves children.There are children everywhere living in less-than-ideal conditions. Some live in home situations thatare a discouraging, ugly mess.

• No spiritual guidance• Severed, dysfunctional families• Abuse• Poverty• Neglect• Rejection• IsolationAnd yet, like tulips surrounded by weeds, God can

still cause children to grow, bloom and thrive.After talking to Mary Jo, a dear friend and wise

woman, about an ugly home situation that grievesmy heart, she sent an e-mail filled with encourage-ment. The day after we talked she said that sheopened her Bible to read the Old Testament selec-tion that she was up to and it was 1 Samuel.

The child we spoke about together was fresh onher mind, and as she read she was filled with hopeby the way God took care of Samuel in difficult cir-cumstances. She wrote, “I guess it struck me thatright after Hannah dropped Samuel off at the tem-

ple to live with Eli, she sang a song of praise andthen the Bible describes how wicked Eli’s sonswere. Samuel did not have an easy life, but Godtook care of him.”

Even though Samuel was surrounded by thewickedness of Eli’s sons Hophni and Phinehas, theLord was with Samuel as he grew up, and he letnone of his words fall to the ground (1 Samuel3:19).

What was true for the prophet Jeremiah is truefor each and every child:

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares theLord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you,plans to give you hope and a future. Then you willcall upon me and come and pray to me, and I willlisten to you. You will seek me and find me whenyou seek me with all your heart. I will be found byyou.” (Jeremiah 29:11-14a)

Think about the child in your neighborhood oryour extended family for whom your heart grievesmost. God will do His part in the life of each and

every child. Will we doours by praying for chil-dren, loving them anddoing all that we can toprovide safe, nurturingenvironments for thechildren in our homes,neighborhoods and

across the world?Albert Einstein said, “The

world is a dangerous place to live. Not because ofthe people who are evil, but because of the peoplewho don’t do anything about it.”

Let’s daily resolve to be people who do somethingabout it. We must do all we can to weed evil out ofthe lives of children and point them to the God ofhope.

There are children everywhere. This summeryou’ll see them on the street, playing at the pool orin the park, at the mall or in your home. And Jesusloves them all.

“Hey, Dad, Jesus told me to tell you, He reallyloves the children.”

“Remember, Jesus really loves the children.”“Hey, Daddy, don’t forget, Jesus really, really

loves the children!”•••

This dessert is reminiscent of a popular dish servedat a local hospital to its patients on holidays and tolucky staff members at special feasts. The sweet-and-salty crunch of the pretzel crust, the creamy dairylayer and the strawberries-in-gelatin topping areexquisite to taste and beautiful to look at, but thisdessert doesn’t stay pretty long.

Who doesn’t like dumping things ina trash bag and shaking it all upand then eating it? Needless to say,kids can’t get enough of this item,and most adults will mow it down,too.

Many anglers regard freshwater drum— most of us know them as sheepshead— as pesky bait-stealers.

While they certainly can be an annoy-ance, they sometimes offer a pleasantdiversion on an otherwise eventless fish-ing excursion.

And besides, they sometimes keeppretty good company.

Chances are that if you’re findingsheepshead, then you’re at least in theright neighborhood to snag a walleye.Naturally, a walleye commands a bit more respectthan a croaker when you finally have it boatside.

Neither the walleyes nor the crappies were offer-ing much action on an area lake last week, but thesheepshead were certainly on a furious bite. And itmay seem a bit oxymoronic to say so but some “nice”ones gave a pretty good accounting of themselves onthe light tackle.

After catching several of them and little else, arecipe for the lowly sheepshead — charitably named“poor man’s lobster” — came to mind.

Like the recipes I somehow have acquired over theyears for such delicacies as coots and opossum, it isa dish that remains unsampled.

I’m not a fish snob.If it’s got fins and swims, I’m game to catch ’em.

The lone exception to this is the dogfish which, in

spite of its fighting spirit, is truly a plug-ugly (and a bit scary) creature.

I’ll even admit to an admiration forthose fish sporting whiskers and skin.

If not for bullheads, there are some forwhom the tug on a line would be a rareopportunity. And while a bullhead doesn’tput up much of a tussle, it does eat prettywell, right down to its crispy-fried tail.

And catfish are not only quite tasty, buton the end of a line give an account ofthemselves that can put many other

gamefish to shame.A long time ago, I did a brief stint at a paper in

Kansas, a state where bass, crappies and the occa-sional walleye are pursued with varying degrees ofpassion. But catfish remain the undisputed king.

Order a freshwater fish entree in most any Kansaseatery and it will be channel catfish, probably not toofar removed from a catfish farm.

Not to imply that there is anything untowardabout catfish farms but they are typically a series ofshallow manmade ponds that resemble the settlingponds found at sewage treatment plants.

Except that they’re teeming with catfish — hungryones.

Some farms allow sport fishing on their ponds on aper-pound basis.

I was visiting one such place when the owner said“watch this” and rang a bell that hung on a pedestalat the edge of a long pond.

Instantly, hundreds of Vs cut across the water andin a minute or two, a school of hungry catfish wasswirling at our feet along the shoreline, a piscatorialversion of Pavlov’s dog, awaiting a hand-out.

The bite, though not too sporting, was fast and furi-ous and it would have been easy to fish one’s self intobankruptcy.

A far more interesting way to catch them, however,was with a trotline. Trotlines are long lines bristlingwith dozens, even hundreds of hooks. It can be ahighly effective way of quickly catching a mess offish, probably one of the reasons the practice willearn you a ticket from a conservation officer if youtry it in Minnesota.

Each hook is baited and the line stretched ortossed into a catfish haunt and then anchored to afloating plastic jug or a nearby tree limb.

After a suitable length of time, frequently meas-ured by number of beers, the line is retrieved, hope-fully with several channel catfish firmly attached.

From there, it is just a short trip from the cleaningboard to a pan bubbling with hot oil to a riverbanklunch, frequently washed down with a few morebeers.

We Minnesotans like to crow about the culinaryvirtues of our beloved walleye but a fresh catfish fil-let, where properly cooked, can give our state fish arun for the money.

But a sheepshead is not a catfish.The sheepshead recipe I recalled is simple enough:

Cut the skinless backstrap into bite-sized chunksand place them in boiling water for a minute or so.

Then a quick run through some melted butter andvoila — poor man’s lobster.

Any takers out there?•••

THE OUTDOORS

By John Cross

For good health, eat a colorful diet,said Sarah Francis, an Iowa State Uni-versity assistant professor and ISUExtension nutrition specialist.

New dietary guidelines emphasize aplant-based diet accompanied bywhole grains, low fat, fat-free dairyand lean protein sources, Francis said.“The color of fruits and vegetables pro-vides a clue to their health benefit.”

The pigments in fruits and vegeta-bles contain many health-promoting

phytochemicals, Francis said. Thedarker the color, the more phytochemi-cal the plant food provides. Phyto-chemicals have been shown to reducethe risk of many chronic diseasesincluding cancer, heart disease andmacular degeneration, she said.

“For example, the red color of toma-toes comes from lycopene, which maylower the risk of prostate cancer,” Fran-cis said. “The beta-carotene that givessweet potatoes their orange color helps

keep our immune system healthy, andthe green of spinach is rich in lutein,which helps decrease the risk of macu-lar degeneration. By eating a colorfulmix of fruits and vegetables, youincrease the likelihood of consuming alarger amount of phytochemicals.”

A relatively easy to way to eat a color-ful, plant-based diet is the healthy platemethod. “Envision your dinner plate:one-half should be fruits and vegetables,one quarter should be lean protein and

the remaining quarter should be wholegrains. Be careful though. As our por-tions have grown, so have our plates.The typical plate is 12 inches wide, butthe healthy plate method is based on a9-inch plate. But you don’t need to buynew dishes; just leave space around theoutside,” Francis said.

In our hurried world, we canbe intrigued or frustrated bythe pace of a box turtle. Mostof us have seen this reptilemaking its way across a countryroad or paved highway. You canstop and help it cross the roador, take it home for a pet.Question is, “Which is thebetter choice?”

“Turtles are some of the old-est reptiles on the earth,” saidJ. Jill Heatley, clinical associ-ate professor at the Texas A&M Collegeof Veterinary Medicine & BiomedicalSciences. “They are slow-moving, butthese creatures have survived virtuallyunchanged for thousands of years.”

“The box turtle is a land animal thatcan also swim well,” Heatley said. “Itspends its life around water, marshesor wetlands. It is an air-breathing ani-mal, toothless and reproduces by layingeggs. Generally, you can distinguishmale from female box turtles based onthe color of their eyes. Males havebright orange to reddish iris color whilefemales have brown to tan iris color.”

The box turtle is characterized by ahigh domed shell that hinges so theturtle can enclose itself, thus the fittingname of box turtle, Heatley said. Boxturtles eat vegetation as well asinsects, slugs, snails and dead flesh.

Will this terrestrial creature survive

the fast paced world of today?Can it “out-pace” today’shuman desires for exotic pets,

run-ins with automobiles andloss of habitat?

“Turtles can make good pets,but taking a turtle from the wild

and placing it in your homemay lead to a slow death forthe animal,” cautioned Heat-

ley. “Like any pet, turtlesrequire daily attention, care

and have specific nutritionaland environmental needs.”

“Relocating the native turtle to yourhome can be detrimental to the animal.Turtles establish home ranges andthey will try to return to their hometerritory. If removed from it, they maytravel long distances looking for famil-iar grounds. This is sometimes called‘homing.’ In the process they may comein contact with predators, unsuitablehabitat, or they may lose the race whiletrying to cross the highway.”

Heatley said the most common ques-tion she gets asked is, “What do I do if Isee a turtle crossing the road?” She rec-ommends pulling your vehicle safely tothe side of the road and put on yourhazard lights. When you can safelyapproach the turtle based on traffic,pick the turtle up by the back of theshell and place it off the road in thesame direction that it was headed.

Resist the temptation to “adopt” a tur-tle from the wild. The box turtle confinesits activities to a small area (severalacres) for its home range and breedingground. Once removed from this terri-tory, many displaced turtles fail to estab-lish a new home range and few find theirway back to their original home range.

Since the box turtle is long-lived with alife span of 20 years or more, they expe-rience delayed sexual maturity (any-where from 7 to 10 years). This turtlespecies requires a long life span andhigh population density to increase itspopulation. A box turtle must survivelawn mowers, farm machinery, predatorsand crossing roads during its growthyears before it can add to the species.

The box turtle is also threatened bythe pet trade, Heatley said. As more peo-ple collect box turtles as pets or to sell toothers as pets, the turtle’s populationdensity would be expected to decline. Iflevels get too low, box turtles will not beable to sustain their numbers.

“Since box turtles take a long time toreach sexual maturity, live in a limitedhome range and produce a small num-ber of eggs in each clutch, this animalis hard pressed when additional pres-sures are encountered,” Heatley said.“It is for these reasons that harvestingadult box turtles from the wild forpets is a concern.”

In our hurried and fast-paced world,if you make the time to look for the boxturtle, may you continue to find themin their natural setting, may you mar-vel at this centuries-old creature whois trying to survive in an ever-chang-ing world. Remember that it is best toleave box turtles on their home range.

With the engineering attributes of a large windturbine, several direct-drive small wind units arespringing up on both farm and non-farm installa-tions. Permanent magnet, variable resistant directdrive systems describes the Polaris turbine which ismarketed by Renewable Energy SD, an Excelsior,Minn., firm.

These Polaris units sold into the Minnesota mar-ket have a 50 kW capacity but are turned back to the39.9 kW level to meet current Minnesota net meter-ing laws. Net metering apparently varies from stateto state. Iowa, for example, has a 50 kW net meteringallowance; in Wisconsin the cap is 100 kW. New Jer-sey has no limit.

Two Polaris turbines mounted on 160-foot towerswere erected in April on the Warren and RachelKrohn farm northwest of Nicollet, Minn. Said DaveThorp, Renewable Energy sales technician, “becausethere is no gearbox, direct-drive technology consider-ably reduces yearly maintenance. It also extendsfunctional life span. These units have only threegrease points needing service once a year.”

Each turbine has three 25-foot blades with hollow

See WIND, pg. 14A

Aerial view of the “small wind”turbines at Warren and Rachel

Krohn’s farm near Nicollet, Minn.

WIND, from pg. 13Acore component resins. The direct-drive system ismanufactured in Ohio. The magnet generator is Ital-ian-made and has tremendous reliability as a dieselgenerator in many commercial applications. Theyalready have 50 of these direct-drive units “in theground” in Minnesota, with another 60-plus in theplanning and permit application process for 2011.

Their primary turbine into the small-wind marketis a 39.9 kW unit. This size qualifies for the Min-nesota net metering program, which permits “sur-plus” electricity to be metered back to the local util-ity at the average “selling price” of electricity bythat particular utility. This retail rate is about twicethe wholesale rate at which wind farms sell. Ratesare going up about 5.4 percent annually in Min-nesota, according to Thorp .

Renewable Energy SD installs their turbines on a

160-foot steel latticetower, which positions thehub at 164 feet. “That getsyou up into that more sta-ble wind area. The typicalblade will be 189 feet, justbelow the 200-foot FAAceiling limit.”Power and pricetags

How much electricity dothey produce? In produc-tive wind areas, thePolaris 39.9 will deliver160,000 to 190,000 kWsannually. Based on anaverage statewide con-sumption of approxi-mately 7,900 kwh perhome annually, a singleunit powers 20 Minnesotahomes.

Turnkey cost for this Polaris 39.9 kW system is$268,000, which includes the 39.9 kW turbine/gener-ator, 160-foot tower, permits, internal connections,etc. Federal grant money covers 30 percent of theproject cost. State monies are also available forsmaller wind turbines of 35 kW or less, with a maxi-mum award value of $10,000 for residential connec-tions and $25,000 for commercial. The turbine needsto be rated under 35 kW for this fund. Thorp clientshave obtained over $200,000 of these funds used onthe 34 kW Enertech turbine.

Small wind systems also qualify for rapid deprecia-tion schedules, 85 percent over the first five years ofoperation. “Obviously the government is paying alarge portion of that investment cost to help developsmall-wind energy,” Thorp said.

Nicollet-area pork producer Warren Krohn shared

information with The Land on two Polaris systemsjust installed on their home farm this spring. “We’vegot Serial No. 1 and Serial No. 3 so we obviouslyhave the very newest units of this design,” Krohnsaid. He, wife, Rachel, and sons Brent, 26, and Bryce,20, plus their business partner at their sow farm,raise about 40,000 pigs per year. Wind is now amajor energy provider for this farming operation.They have six units at three locations, all within amile of each other. The first two towers are 3-phase,the rest are single-phase.Early adopters

Looking toward the future, the Krohns realizedwind energy was rapidly becoming a growing forcebecause of Minnesota’s net metering law whichallows Minnesota residents to put “small wind” elec-tricity back online and get paid at the same rate as

WIND, from pg. 14Awhat their local utility charges. Alsothere is a federal government mandatethat 25 percent of the state’s energy(wind, solar, etc.) be renewable by2025. According to Krohn, their localenergy provider is already 20 percentwind generated, strongly driven by“Uncle Sam” paying 30 percent of thedevelopment costs.

“So our thinking is that it’s a gooddeal if you get into wind energy now,”Krohn said, “because if you wait, thosestate and federal dollars might not bethere.” There’s another 25 percentREAP federal grant package available,and sweetening the pot is that 85 per-cent depreciation opportunity. “You cantake all of that the first year if youwant, just like you can with a newcombine or tractor.”

The arithmetic is intriguing. Start-ing with that $268,000 initial cost,that first 30 percent grant moneyreduction drops the cost to $187,600.Subtract that 25 percent federal REAPmoney puts the project at $140,700.And if that 85 percent depreciationwrite-down is applied the first year,net investment cost of a Polaris 39.9kW system is $21,105.

The several confinement hog barnsin the Krohn operation are highenergy consumers, especially duringthe summer with dozens of exhaust

fans in operation. “We use about$1,000 of electricity per month duringthat summer schedule but that dropsconsiderably into fall and winter. Weshould be doing some net meteringback to our local utility from Decemberto May,” Krohn said.

With electrical rates of about 8 to 8.5cents/kw, rapid depreciation options,and 30 percent “up front” grant money,when does the Krohn spreadsheetshow a positive cash flow for thisinvestment? “It sort of depends uponwhich grants you get, and which youdon’t. It looks like everyone will get the30 percent grant. If we get both the 30percent and the 25 percent, in six orseven years these units should be paidfor,” Krohn said.

How long will the “up front” frostingbe available? Krohn can only specu-late. “The more people learn aboutthese incentives, the more traffic therewill be and if the pot stays the samesize, it means fewer dollars for latearrivals. That was a reason we pushednow because that grant money seemsmore a certainty today that it will betwo years from now.”Big and small

How did the Krohns zero in on thePolaris brand? “We found that othersare still gear-box driven. And based onresearch we did, plus conversationswith other wind users, the payback

just wasn’t there with these olderstyles. Lots more maintenance pluswhen you go from a gear-driven to adirect-drive system there’s a 25 to 30percent savings in energy expended.Which is the same as saying it takesconsiderably less wind to generate thesame amount of electricity.

“Our generator spins at the samespeed as the blades, which is between50 and 67 rpm. But in gear-drivenunits, that gear box cranks up thegenerator to 1,800 rpm on an equiva-lent wind basis. That’s why you’ve gotmaintenance issues, plus you lose

WIND, from pg. 15A‘horse power’ in the process. Our unitskick in at 6 mph. At 23 mph, it’s gener-ating at that 39.9 kW capacity. At 56mph winds, the system automaticallylocks up and stops.”

Could an influx of small wind genera-tors impact the cost of electricity? Thatconcern sparked some legislative discus-sion about net metering, i.e., whether itshould even exist. But facts get dis-torted, and educating people about the“whole story” to show the many benefitsof new business in rural Minnesota isimportant. For example, most of the “bigwind” turbines sprouting across Iowaand southern and western Minnesotaare 2.2 mgw or larger.

“One big 2 mgw generator is the sameas 50 of these 39.9 kW units. Andthere’s only 60 or so of these small windturbines in the state right now, andeven if there’s going to be another 100of these little ones, that’s like only twomore of the big tower units. Today theseoutfits put up 75 towers in just one areaso one shouldn’t worry about smallwind driving up the cost of electricity.

“Plus you don’t need to rebuild thegrid to handle small wind. The moneythese little units like we have, all stays

in Minnesota. ‘Big Wind’ often has out-of-state owners which certainly doesn’thelp the tax issues of Minnesota,”Krohn said.

If a small wind tower generates$10,000 revenue per year, it is in factalso generating about $800 tax rev-enue at the 8 percent tax rate. Andthat’s a deposit into the state revenuecoffers every year, year after year.What tax revenue to Minnesota fromthe big towers? If the ownership is allout of state, you know the answer.20-year lifespan

Shawn Dooling, president of Renew-able Energy SD, said the projected lifeof the Polaris turbine is 20 years andthat after financing through one of

their affiliated lenders, a 100-percentpay back in seven to nine years can beexpected, often even less. At that pointthe turbine could be completelyremanufactured back to factory speci-fications to run another 20 years at afraction of the initial project cost.

“Delivering 160,000 to 190,000 kWsannually,” Dooling said, “these efficien-cies are why wind energy has been notedby energy experts as the second-mostcost efficient, next to nuclear, and whywe are seeing a great momentum andinterest to learn more, get involved andsave tons of money for years to come.”

The core focus of Renewable EnergySD is to educate, consult andsell/install mid-class wind turbine sys-

tems to farms, schools, commercialbusinesses and municipalities. Theirtarget market is Minnesota, Wiscon-sin and Iowa. The firm has approxi-mately 96 projects in place in variousstages of pre-construction to finaliza-tion and commissioning.

Founded in 2009, the firm now has31 full-time employees and generatedsales revenue of $16.27 million in2010, with projections of $64 millionfor 2011. In the first quarter of 2011 ithad $8.05 million in sales.

The money these littleunits like we have, allstays in Minnesota. ‘BigWind’ often has out-of-state owners which cer-tainly doesn’t help thetax issues of Minnesota.

— Warren Krohn


Could sugar beets become a majorplayer in the production of renewablefuels, specifically ethanol? That intrigu-ing prospect was presented by MaynardHelgaas, partner in a West Fargo, N.D.,firm called Green Vision Group.

According to Helgaas, Green Vision’sambition is to be the catalyst in building12 processing facilities using “energybeets” grown in the irrigated agricul-tural areas around Jamestown, N.D.

Some specifics:• Each plant to be designed with a

20 million gallon ethanol productioncapacity.

• This would require 30,000 acres ofsugar beets per plant.

• Anticipated production is 26.4 gal-lons of ethanol per ton of sugar beets.

• On a comparative basis, sugarbeets can produce about twice asmuch ethanol per acre as corn.

• The ash byproduct would providefuel to power the plant or be marketedas a field fertilizer.

• Each plant has a projected cost of $53million and would employee 23 workers.

A unique construction strategy is thatthe components of each plant would bepre-manufactured, then shipped to thedesignated locations of these 12 pro-posed processing facilities, and assem-bled into the finished product.

“Based on this concept we think eachplant could be operational about sixweeks after delivery of componentparts,” Helgaas said. A major partner,especially in the design of the processingequipment, is Heartland RenewableEnergy, a Muscatine, Iowa, firm withconsiderable engineering and technicalexpertise.

“I worked at a corn ethanol plant for28 years. I realized early in the gamethat corn was not the perfect way tomake ethanol,” said Rick Whittaker,president of Heartland Renewable

Energy. “We learned that the best bangfor your buck was with beets.”

Helgaas said his firm began a seriousstudy of the project in 2007. Both Heart-land Energy and North Dakota StateUniversity experts in chemistry, agron-omy and engineering continue to exploreall aspects of this potentially huge newendeavor. The firm also has major sup-port of Syngenta and Betaseed, bothmajor players in the European seedindustry and each with a history ofgenetic research on sugar beets.

According to Helgaas, this “energy beet”is similar to the current sugar beet butslightly larger and it could carry a fewmore “impurities.” Purity of beets grownfor the sugar market is critical because of

the delicate slicing that starts the sugar-making process and the resulting food-grade product. Potentially there might beseveral cultivars of the energy beet withgreater yield and higher sugar content.

“Our NDSU biofuels technology con-sultants have had field trials growingthe beets, plus they’ve run sugar contentand essay tests on the pulp material andthe extracted juices. We’ll know a lotabout this crop before we start signingup growers,” Helgaas said. Sugar beetsfor renewable fuels is already common-place in much of the beet growing areasof Germany and France so the GreenVision Group is not dealing in newchemistry or new technologies.

BEETS, from pg. 18A“It would seem we could just adopt

their techniques in our own work, butUSDA and other licensing agencies don’ttake kindly to that logic. They insist theagronomic and mechanical processing ofthe beets has to first be certified here inthe United States,” Helgaas said.

Therein lies the rub. The Green VisionGroup intends to first build a small-scaledemonstration plant to verify the vari-ous mechanics and chemistries of theirproject. This two-million-gallon “demoplant” will cost about $7 million. “Ven-ture capital today is hard to find. AndUSDA grants are even more difficult.The questionable world economy defi-nitely has become a bit of challenge,”Helgaas said. Even Fagan Construction,the Granite Falls, Minn., firm that rap-idly became the construction leader ofethanol plants across America is hesi-tant to get on-board with front-endmoney on this project.

Helgaas has hopes the state of NorthDakota, suddenly “rich” because of itsballooning oil industry, might step up tothe plate with some start-up economicdevelopment dollars. He ventures, too,that both Syngenta and Betaseed mightbecome sustaining members.

He also indicated that a Germanresearch firm is close to developing thechemistry that would permit long-termstorage of both the unprocessed sugarbeets and the molasses extracted via ascrew-press design. Long-term storage ofthe harvested beets and the sugar juice

would be vital to keep the processing plantoperational year-round. “We anticipateabout a one-month shut down for mainte-nance and cleanup work for each plant.Besides the energy beet,we’re also lookingat sugar cane as a potential feedstockplus, of course, the extracted molasses.”

According to preliminary feasibilitywork, the processing of sugar beets forethanol requires only about 1 1/2 gal-lons of water per 1 gallon of ethanol.Corn processing takes upwards of six toseven gallons of water per gallon ofethanol. NDSU agronomists are sug-gesting a four-year rotation for potentialgrowers with corn, soybeans and wheatin the mix.

Other potential pluses for addingsugar beets into the crop mix:

• Because of its deep root (up to 8feet), beets act as a mop in utilizingdeep soil nutrients.

• Beets are more tolerant to alkalinesoils.

• Roundup Ready beet seed reduceschemical costs and helps maintain acleaner environment.

• Beet harvest conveniently fits inafter harvest of soybeans and beforecorn harvest.

• About a 10-day harvest schedule isprojected to handle the 30,000 acresgrown for each plant.

According to Helgaas, about 50 percentof the designated growing area for these 12plants is irrigated land so drought doesn’t

necessarily figure as a major impedimentto growing the crop. “Based on compara-tive yields and today’s commodity prices,”he said, “the model suggests energy beetsfor ethanol could produce about twice thenet income per acre of any other crop.”

Perhaps a bit of a driving force in favorof this new industrial crop is that NorthDakota has lots of “wanna-be” sugarbeet growers. But the Red River Valleysugar beet industry is strictly limited toan acreage allocation program witheach grower growing only the beet acreshe has under contract. Because growingbeets for ethanol would have no suchacreage allocation, Helgaas and hisgroup think a considerable number ofNorth Dakota farmers might stronglyconsider becoming energy beet farmers.

Using beets instead of corn also side-steps the controversy associated withusing a food product for fuel. The com-pany hopes to produce 240 million gal-lons of ethanol. North Dakota has acurrent capacity to produce about 350

million gallons of corn ethanol. This“new crop” may not even be in conflictwith existing corn producers. TomLilja, executive director of the NorthDakota Corn Growers Association,said the state’s corn growers “hopeanybody that can make a profit inagriculture finds a way to do so. Wecertainly hope they can make it work.”

Admittedly both time and moneyare slowing the project right now.Experience with the proposed two-million-gallon demo plant may beneeded to “get all the ducks lined up.”

“But we know interest is building,”Helgaas said. “And if our Congressgets real serious about reducing ourdependency on imported oils, wethink energy beets could rapidlybecome a major player in our renew-able fuels industry.”

The Pork Checkoff recently announced the releaseof a new software tool for pork producers: the LiveSwine Carbon Footprint Calculator. Developed withthe technical expertise of the University ofArkansas’ Applied Sustainability Center, the user-friendly application allows producers to input theiron-farm data from the sow or grow-finish side ofproduction to compute the carbon footprint of anentire barn of pigs from breeding to market.

Roy Henry, a pork producer from Longford, Kan.,and member of the National Pork Board, said,“America’s pork producers are among the most envi-ronmentally and socially responsible food producersin the world. The unveiling of the new carbon foot-print calculator demonstrates this fact once again.”

Henry explained that the calculator will create abenchmark of a barn’s carbon footprint that produc-ers can then use to help make production decisions toimprove efficiencies and achieve a lower overall foot-print. “This tool truly offers us an innovation that canhelp guide our management practices,” Henry said.

National Pork Board President, Everett Forkner,a producer from Richards, Mo., sees the new tool asa breakthrough. “It’s a great day for everyone onand off the farm when we can bring a new tool suchas this to U.S. producers,” Forkner said. “It reflectsproducers’ ongoing dedication to invest in new toolsthat help improve upon their long history of protect-ing the environment.”

Randy Spronk, a producer from Edgerton, Minn.,who serves on the Checkoff’s environmental commit-tee, was one of the first to test the carbon footprintcalculator. He was impressed by its ease of use andstraightforward output. “With your production dataavailable to enter into the calculator, it only takes afew minutes to determine your barn’s carbon foot-print and to visually see what the biggest contribu-tors to it are,” Spronk said. “From there, you can begin

thinking how you might make changes to increase on-farm efficiencies and reduce your baseline footprint.”

Spronk said the tool clearly shows how inputs,such as feed, energy use, manure and pig perform-ance, are all related to the carbon footprint of a barn.“It’s an eye-opener to see how this all interrelates,”Spronk said. “It drives home how we, as producers

from operations of all sizes, can continue to takeadditional steps to be environmentally, socially andeconomically sustainable.”

Pork producers can order a free copy of the LiveSwine Carbon Footprint Calculator atwww.pork.org/sustainability or by calling (800) 456-7675.

June 7 was too windy — and too hot, at a blazing104 F — for aerial crop work, so 27-year veteranaerial applicator Rich Sigurdson ofOlivia, Minn., took a few minutesfor an interview with The Land.

“This spring brought in a littlemore work than normal,” he said,“and we’re already working differ-ent crops. This is the latest for put-ting crops in the ground since I’vebeen in the business.”

So far this spring, most of his fly-ing has been herbicide work on sugar beets, cornand soybeans. He’s also doing insecticide work oncutworms in sugar beet fields.

Sugar beets are a huge crop in his area, so withfields too wet for ground applications it’s airplanesto the rescue. Piloting his Air Tractor (that’s theactual name) at 140 mph and with a 64-foot swath,he’s covering 125 acres — even up to 200 acres —per hour depending upon the product being appliedand the crop below his wings.

Like all aerial applicators, Sigurdson is a quickread of trends in crop spraying, like the growing useof fungicides as a “protectant” product. “We’re see-ing a big interest in fungicides on corn over the lastcouple of years,” he said. “We’ve been pretty steadyon soybean aphids the past half-dozen or so years.”

His Air Tractor 502B is turbine powered and has a

500-gallon product tank. At a two-gallon applicationrate, that math works out to 250 acres per fill. That’simportant in aerial application work when time iscritical, especially considering the winds of Min-nesota. Generally, lower gallon rates apply to mostherbicides; higher rates (up to 5 gallon per acre) withsome of the fungicides.

Expensive businessHe’s one of almost 150 licensed aerial applicators

in Minnesota. Sigurdson started as a 19-year-old.Two local college students are working with him thisseason. Their task is mixing the various products,precisely loading the right amount of each productfor each fill, keeping the loading pad clean andrestocking new chemicals as needed.

One of his employees will be enrolling in the two-year aerial applicators program at Crookston Com-munity College this fall. Sigurdson said, “Our aver-age age is getting up there, probably close to 50 now.

Rich Sigurdson

Dick Hagen

Rich Sigurdson’s AirTractor 502Bsits parked in his “drive-through”hangar, grounded from sprayingthis day due to high winds andhigh temperatures.

PLANE, from pg. 22AUsed to be quite a few younger guys get-ting into this work but the tremendouscosts have slowed that drastically.”

Spray planes are expensive. A new AirTractor costs about $800,000. “Butsmaller and less costly airplanes are alsoavailable,” he said. “It’s where I was sev-eral years back and that’s OK for gettinga start. Insurance is the bug-a-boo. Veryexpensive, like several thousand dollarsper year for my rig. And often a first-yearpilot can’t even get insurance.

“Today technology is big time, espe-cially with GPS providing precise swathpatterns plus guiding us from field tofield and back to the hangar; alsoadjustable flow rates depending on theproduct. Plus planes are simply strongerand better than they used to be.”Power and reliability

Sigurdson is big on turbine power.“When turbines came into the marketfor us aerial applicators, it was a hugestep forward. The reliability factor isso much more than with a piston-pow-ered plane. I’ve flown Air Tractors nowfor about 20 years. I think they makethe best spray plane in the market.Plus they haul more; they get you toyour target fields quicker. We all

remember those earlier days withsmaller planes when we’d use thenearest road for reloading; only 65 to80 gallon tanks, too.”

Another advantage of the turbine isless frequent downtime and no setschedule for “majors.”

“About every 1,200 hours we breakthe engine down and look at the com-ponents,” he said. “That’s called a ‘hotsection’ inspection and you replaceonly what is needed.”Time is money

Sigurdson’s operation has a new 60-foot by 80-foot “taxi-through” hangar,featuring 65-foot-wide bi-fold doors onboth ends.

“It’s a matter of time,” he said. “Whencoming in for a refill, I taxi directlyinto the hangar through the west door.My guys do the refill in three minutesor less. I taxi out the east door and amairborne again in about five minutes.That was the reason for bi-folds onboth ends. In essence I’ve got a drive-through load facility.”

Acknowledging the hazards of hisprofession, Sigurdson admits to crash-landing twice due to engine failure.Fortunately he received no bodily dam-age from either incident.

His take on 2011 crop season?“Tremendously sporadic so far but thattoo should level out,” Sigurdson said.“When things get in late some farmersget reluctant to do the crop workbecause they reason there’ll be a lessercrop so they think ‘spend less money.’ Iread that just the opposite. If you thinkyou’ll have a shorter crop then do what-ever is needed to maximize that crop.”

The Minnesota Agricultural AircraftAssociation is the “governing board” foraerial applicators. A board of directors iselected at each state convention. Someconsiderations of the MAAA:

• An aerial applicator must meet fed-eral and state requirements both forflying skills and for the safe handlingof chemicals.

• Aerial applicators must have acommercial pilot license as well as a

letter of competency to work as anagricultural pilot.

• Overseen by the MinnesotaDepartment of Agriculture, the statehas some of the strongest laws in thenation governing agricultural avia-tion.

• A licensed applicator must attend12 hours of continuing educationclasses each year to stay current onnew products, application usage ofthese products plus any new rulesand regulations.

• Aerial applicators are required bylaw to keep detailed records of everyapplication and make those recordsavailable to MDA inspectors as wellas veterinarians and health profes-sionals throughout the state.

Grain AnglesIt’s all about the weather

Summer has finally arrived to the Upper Midwest.Heat units and rain are kicking the row crops intogear. As the young crops set roots, the ear size willsoon be established for corn. Without much stress onthe crop, the potential for large ears becomes a realpossibility.

As the pollination window hasbeen pushed back due to laterplanting, the weather in the lat-ter part of July will become morecritical. It is all about weather forthe next 60 days.

Commodity markets have expe-rienced some significant retrace-ments. Crude oil has lost $21since its high on May 2. Corn lost$1 in six trading days afternearly topping the $8 mark.Wheat has lost over $1.50 sincelate May. Soybeans have lan-guished in a sideways tradingrange, with most traders focusing on the corn mar-ket. The Dow Jones Industrial Index has lost morethan 500 points as traders fear a double dip reces-sion.

Have we been seeing the beginning of a bear mar-ket or is this just a correction? Have the fundamen-tals of supply and demand changed?

I am of the opinion that they have not changed. Weare still looking at a tight stocks-to-use ratio in corn.I do think that some of the market’s perceptions havechanged. It has been said that the “reaction of mar-kets to news is more important than the news itself.”

It appears that some of the fear that was pricedinto the markets has diminished. It appears that the

Grain OutlookBig reversal ingrain markets

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing June 17.

CORN — What a reversal this week in the grainmarkets. After a jump to new contract highs lastweek after the U.S. Department of Agriculture Junecrop report, an improvingweather picture and sharplyhigher U.S. dollar pushed moneyout of commodities in astonish-ing volume. July corn topped outat an all-time high of $7.99 3/4last week before crashing to alow this week of $6.91 1/4 perbushel (a plummet of $1.08 1/2or 13.6 percent of value). Cornclosed lower every day this week.

The concern that Greece mayhave a financial default pushedmoney back into the U.S. dollar. IfGreece defaults, the spillovereffect of decreasing demand forcommodities could spread into Europe and beyond.

While it took us awhile to get the crop in theground, now that it’s there the weather has beencooperating for good crop development. It’s too earlyto say the crop is made, but the concern that we won’thave a crop is fading. Reports of ethanol plants clos-ing or curtailing production have picked up with acorresponding pullback in corn basis at mostly east-ern locations.

U.S. corn is competitive in the export market whichcould help balance a portion of any lost domesticdemand. The weekly export report didn’t lend sup-port to this thought this week. Export sales were justin line with expectations at 11.7 million bushels forold crop and 23.6 million for new crop. The old crop

Livestock AnglesJune positive for livestock

June is proving to be a positive month for livestockprices. Both cattle and hog prices have improvedsince the start of the month on the increase in domes-tic demand, as the weather improved.

The cattle market has experienced a sharp rallycoming on the heels of short cov-ering in the futures market andaggressive buying by the packers.The large discount the futureswere carrying created hedges tobe lifted as the basis was at anunusual discount to the currentcash trade.

This blossomed into the pack-ers paying higher prices for liveinventory since their profit mar-gin was extremely positive. Theseevents created the sharp rally inboth cash and futures over thepast few weeks.

On June 17, the U.S. Department of Agriculturereleased the Monthly Cattle on Feed Report. Theresults are: cattle on feed as of June 1, 104 percent;placed during May, 89 percent; marketed in May, 107percent. This report was seen as bullish by the tradeas the lower placement number and the higher mar-keting figure were a positive. This will likely keep themarket on the recent rally into the following week.

As we pass the Fourth of July holiday buying,demand will once again become a question markwith the faltering economy. Therefore, producersshould continue to monitor the market and considerprotecting inventories as the market heads into the$114 area.

The hog market has been creeping higher, unlike

NYSTROM, from pg. 26Anumber is below what weneed to achieve the USDAforecast.

Ethanol production was down thisweek, but that could be attributed tolocalized flooding hindering inboundcorn and outbound ethanol shipments.

Politics reared its head in theethanol arena this week. A vote to“immediately” end the 45-cent ethanolblenders’ credit and the 54-cent pergallon ethanol import tax failed in thefirst half of the week.

When it was attached to a differentbill later in the week, it passed 73-27in the Senate. The entire bill must stillmake its way through the House andget the president’s signature, whichappears unlikely according to reports.Is this just a shot across the bow thatthe credit will be allowed to expire atthe end of the year?

In the meantime, nothing has reallychanged. Last week we mentioned thatthere was talk about switching or com-bining feed wheat with corn forethanol production. Since then theword is that it is not an easy switchand at current prices we won’t see ithappen.

On the wheat substitution in feedrations issue, Pilgrim’s Pride (No. 2U.S. chicken producer) and Tyson (No.1) confirmed they are both using smallamounts of wheat in their feed rations.

Informa Economics updated theiracreage forecast to 90.6 million cornacres. This is in line with last week’sUSDA 90.7 million acres figure. TheUSDA announced this week that 2.8million Conservation Reserve Programacres had been put back into produc-

tion. No statementas to what crop it

went to.Informa is pegging the corn yield at a

spiffy 163.8 bushels per acre versusthe USDA’s 158.7 and last year’s 152.8bu./acre. The condition report as ofMay 12 pegged 69 percent of the cropas good/excellent, only 2 percentbehind the five-year average. Condi-tions are expected to show improve-ment again this week.

OUTLOOK: July corn closed 86 1/4cents lower for the week at $7 1/4. TheDecember contract “only” lost 52 1/2cents to settle at $6.60/bu. It appearsrationing has begun to take place withthe nosedive in prices and narrowingof the old crop-new crop price inverse.

While the crop has a long way to gobefore it’s in the bin and old crop sup-plies are still tight, the bloom is off therose. The stage is set for more wide-range trading with the next support inthe December contract at $6.30 1/2and resistance close to $6.90/bu.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans main-tained their follower role again thisweek, but questions linger over howmany acres are being lost to flooding,how many acres were switched tobeans, and how the high heat in theDelta is affecting that area’s yieldpotential.

China also raised their bank reserverate 50 basis points after their infla-tion rate climbed to 5.5 percent. Chinahas been absent from the U.S. market,which was expected with plentiful sup-plies available from South America.

In their latest release, Informa Eco-nomics predicted that 76.4 millionacres were planted to soybeans. Thiscorresponds to the June USDA esti-

mate of 76.6 million planted acres.Informa is pegging the yield at 44.1bu./acre versus the USDA’s 43.4bu./acre and last year’s 43.5 bu./acreyield. Soybean planting was 87 percentcomplete as of May 12, just 2 percentbehind the five-year average.

Emergence was 64 percent comparedto 76 percent on average. In the year’sfirst condition report, 67 percent of thebean crop was rated good/excellent,better than the 65 percent average.Soybean conditions should show amodest improvement on the reportJune 20.

The monthly National OilseedProcessors Association soybean crushwas neutral at 120.3 million bushels,in line with estimates but lower thanthe previous month. Weekly exportsales of 6.6 million bushels for old crop,but only 200,000 bushels for new crop,were considered neutral.

OUTLOOK: In addition to thestronger dollar and improving

weather, sharply lower energy mar-kets also lent pressure this week. Julysoybeans dropped 54 1/4 cents to closeat $13.33 on June 17; Novemberbeans were 48 1/2 cents lower at$13.33 1/4 per bushel.

Until we see the Planting and Quar-terly Grain Stocks reports on June 30,look for soybeans to maintain theirfollower role in the $13 to $14 area.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes forthe week ended June 17: Minneapoliswheat crashed $1.02 3/4 lower,Chicago declined 87 cents, and KansasCity dipped 63 1/2 cents lower. Julycrude oil fell to four month lows, losing$6.28 per barrel to close at $93.01;heating oil fell 12.18 cents; gasolineeroded 7.17 cents, natural gas wasdown 43.2 cents. At mid-afternoon onJune 17, the U.S. dollar index was up0.33 points, gold had gained $8.70, andthe Dow was up 55 points for the week.

TEALE, from pg. 26Athe rapid rally experienced by the cat-tle.

In recent weeks there has been fairdemand for pork product, which haswarranted packers aggressively accu-mulating product. The available num-bers of hogs has been fairly consistentand, with the renewed interest forproduct and the strength in the cattlemarket, hogs began to follow higher.

A problem has begun to arise,though. As the pork cutout rose, thedemand for product has once againslowed. This is, of course, a concern asto whether the recent rally can be sus-

tained as we come into more availableinventories of live animals.

Seasonal patterns would also sug-gest that we have more than likely putin the late-spring high, so an extendedrally would more than likely not be inthe picture in the weeks ahead.

From an economic standpoint,demand for pork product will also be inquestion as discretionary income isshrinking from inflation and hightaxes, causing less money to be avail-able for more expensive cuts of meat.This would suggest that producers beextremely careful and protect invento-ries on the current rally.

Hogs are creeping higher

The median net farmincome among cropfarmers more than dou-bled, and livestock farmers movedtheir median net farm income backinto the black in 2010, a joint reportby the Minnesota State Colleges andUniversities and the University ofMinnesota shows.

Overall, median net farm incomewas $119,915 among about 2,500 Min-nesota farms in 2010, up from $33,417in 2009 when net farm incomes weredepressed by low profits in the live-stock sector and increased productioncosts, the analysis shows. Median netfarm income means half of the produc-ers earned more and half earned less.

“Most Minnesota producers had agood year in 2010,” said RichardJoerger, system director for agricul-ture and business at the Minnesota

State College and Uni-versities system. “How-

ever, these resultsoccurred in an extremely risky andvolatile environment.”

“The biggest change in 2010 was thereturn to profitability of hog farms,which tend to be larger in gross salesthan other Minnesota farms,” saidDale Nordquist, Extension economistwith the University of Minnesota’sCenter for Farm Financial Manage-ment. In 2010, hog farms earnedmedian profits of more than $250,000compared to losses of $73,000 in 2009.

The report analyzed results from 2,362participants in the Minnesota State Col-leges and Universities farm businessmanagement education programs and97 members of the Southwest MinnesotaFarm Business Management Associa-tion. Net farm income is used for living

expenses, income taxes, retirement andbusiness reinvestment.

For crop farms, the median net farmincome increased to $161,441 in 2010,up from $60,128 in 2009, Nordquistsaid. Increased profitability wasdriven largely by the run-up in cropprices at year-end. Prices received onsales were actually down.

“Most of the increase in crop farmearnings was reflected in increasedvalues in inventory on producers’ bal-ance sheets at the end of the year. Pro-ducers have to sell those crops at prof-itable prices to realize these profits,but they certainly have had thatopportunity,” Nordquist said.

“Dairy producers made some come-back in profitability. Yet many still pro-duced milk at breakeven prices or at aloss,” Nordquist said. The mediandairy farm made a net farm income of$57,853 in 2010 compared to just over$2,000 in 2009.

“Agriculture is one bright spot for theMinnesota economy,” Joerger said.“The farms that participate in ourfarm business management educationprograms contribute $1.4 billion torural Minnesota’s economy.” Theanalysis also showed:

• As usual, there was wide variation inreturns.The 20 percent of the farms withthe highest incomes earned a median netfarm income of $462,348; the median forthe low 20 percent was $7,443.

• Profits for crop farmers were up169 percent after a down year in 2009.Average prices received for major com-modities were: corn, $3.67, down from$3.81 in 2009; soybeans, $9.66, down

from $9.84; and spring wheat, $5.03,down from $5.81.

• For the 423 dairy farms, median netfarm income was $57,823, compared to$2,193 in 2009. The average pricereceived for milk was $16.26 per hun-dred pounds, up from $13.56 in 2009.Production costs increased to $16.19 perhundredweight, leaving a profit of onlypennies per hundred pounds of milk.

• The median hog producer earned anet farm income of $265,649 comparedto a loss of $73,525 in 2009. The price-per-hundred pounds sold increasedfrom $43.30 to $54.63.

• Beef farm profits improved butwere lower than other operations. Themedian beef producer generated netfarm income of $34,451 compared to anet loss of $13,138 in 2009.

• Corn yields were virtuallyunchanged from 2009 at 181 bushelsper acre. Soybeans yields averaged 45.5bushels per acre, up from 42 bushels,while spring wheat yielded 60 bushelscompared to 62 bushels in 2009.

• Average cost of production for anacre of corn decreased by 6 percent duemostly to lower fertilizer costs. Seedcost increased 9 percent, fertilizerdecreased by 27 percent, and land rentincreased by 5 percent.

• Overall, the average farm earned a12.5 percent rate of return on assets,up from 3.1 percent in 2009.

NEHER, from pg. 26Aold trading adage: “Buy the rumor, sellthe fact” may be at work. I do notbelieve that the volatility has left themarkets and that there will be plentyof reaction.

There will be plenty of volatility inthe basis as well as the futures prices.The current hot spots for basis bids arearound the ethanol plants. Ethanolplants typically have less storage andmust rely on a steady flow of grainfrom the country. The fact that it is dif-ficult to fix ethanol prices for morethan 30 days, keeps more of their buy-ing in the nearby markets.

In their efforts to manage margins,they try to keep their input costsclosely tied to the price of ethanol. Thiscreates some opportunity to capture

some strong basis moves that may onlybe available for a short time. As wemake our final old crop sales one couldcapture a Grain Angle by checkingaround for bids in the market, moreoften than not.

As we wrap up our spraying andclean up our equipment from theplanting season, we have a little timeto enjoy the summer activities. Somelike to play golf, while others like tofish or go camping. Many in theseparts of the country enjoy a familycabin.

It is a time for families to cometogether and enjoy nature and thegreat outdoors. Let us take the time toappreciate the relationships that wehave with friends and family duringthe next few weeks.

Time to enjoy friends, family

This column was written for the market-ing week ending June 17.

The fallout is still settling over theHilmar cheese withhold and the cashcheese market may be viewed with adegree of skepticism, not knowing howmuch of the $2-plus-per-pound level wastriggered by the unusual situation. Thebig questions are, will prices slip back to“reality” — and what is “reality?”

You’ll recall that Texas cheese manufac-turer Hilmar put a hold on about 15 mil-lion pounds of cheese due to “plasticcontamination.” Kate Sander, editor ofCheese Market News, said thatHilmar officials told her the plasticwas likely from the disintegration of a salt vent fil-ter. She emphasized that, while the cheese was deliv-ered to customers, it never hit store shelves butthere’s no answer as to what was being done withthe cheese or exactly how much was involved.

Hilmar’s Denise Skidmore told me that they standby their original statement last week, which Iincluded in this column, and would not comment onthe amount of cheese involved or what would be donewith it.

Sander said, “it’s anybody’s guess as to whethercheese prices will slip back but it depends on whatthey do with that cheese.” One insider told her thatperhaps the plastic could be filtered out and thecheese made into processed, which could in turndrive down the barrel market.

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange cash blockcheese price closed Friday at $2.12 per pound, up apenny on the week, 71.5 cents above a year ago, andthe highest it’s been since June 2008. Barrel, afterinching a penny higher earlier in the week, gave itback Friday, the first decline in 24 sessions, andclosed at $2.0675, unchanged on the week, and 68.25cents above a year ago. Only one car of block and fiveof barrel traded hands on the week. The NationalAgricultural Statistics Service-surveyed U.S. averageblock price hit $1.7901, up 8.4 cents, while the bar-

rels averaged $1.8565, up 9.7 centsThe CME’s Daily Dairy Report points

out that the run-up in cheese prices putthe U.S. price above the Oceania price forthe first time since the fall of 2009 andthat, prior to that, it had been runningabout 32 cents below the Oceania price.

Cash butter closed at $2.14, up a pennyon the week, and 50.5 cents above a yearago. Five cars were sold on the week. NASSbutter averaged $2.1453, up 2.1 cents. Thebutter price has slipped a little in the last

two weeks but inventories are low forthis time of year and exports havebeen good, according to eDairy broker

Dave Kurzawski. “The market has amixed tone,” he said. “Product is making its way to theexchange, but there seems to be a good mix of buyersand sellers at the current price level.”

■

A lot of eyes were on this week’s Global DairyTrade auction where weighted average prices onmost contracts were down. Anhydrous milk fat fell5.9 percent and the adjusted butter price for 80 per-cent butterfat in New Zealand is now $1.96, 18 centsbelow the U.S. price. Milk protein concentrate (70)was down 0.3 percent; rennet casein, down 2.4 per-cent; and skim milk powder, was down 7.1 percent.Only whole milk powder increased, up 2.6 percent.

Cash CME Grade A nonfat dry milk closed theweek at $1.6525, up a quarter-cent. Extra Gradeheld at $1.61. NASS powder averaged $1.6524, up1.4 cents, and dry whey averaged 52.39 cents, up 0.8cent.

California’s July Class I milk price was announcedat $22.38 per hundredweight for the North and$22.65 for the South. Both prices are up 97 centsfrom June, $5.23 above July 2010, and equate toabout $1.92 and $1.95 per gallon respectively. Thenorthern price average is now $19.85, up from$16.24 a year ago. The southern price average is$20.12, up from $16.51 a year ago.

The July Federal order Class I base milk price is$21.03, up 71 cents from June, $5.37 above a yearago, the highest since November 2007, and equatesto about $1.81 per gallon. Its 2011 average nowstands at $18.55, up from $14.60 a year ago, andcompares to $11.08 in 2009.

The National Milk Producers Federation’s RogerCryan does not project an Milk Income Loss Con-tract payment to producers. Feed prices would haveto go up quite a bit for the target to reach theannounced price, he said, and “would take some-thing like $10 corn and $16 soybeans.”

The NASS-surveyed butter price averaged$2.1343/lb., up 8.8 cents from the previous month.Nonfat dry milk averaged $1.6462, up 4 cents.Cheese averaged $1.7934, up 15.2 cents and drywhey averaged 52.01 cents, up 2.9 cents.

MIELKE MARKETWEEKLY

See MIELKE, pg. 30A

MIELKE, from pg. 29AThe $2 cheese price is good news for

farm milk checks but what will itmean for retail sales? eDairy econo-mist Bill Brooks reports that interna-tional demand for cheese is slowing so,if that means more product stays inthe United States, prices will slip,though California’s Milk ProducersCouncil newsletter says CooperativesWorking Together reports that it hasmore approved subsidies for ship-

ments through August.The CWT announced

this week that it accepted11 requests for export assistance fromDairy Farmers of America and Darigoldto sell a total of 3.5 million pounds ofCheddar and Monterey Jack to cus-tomers in Asia, the Middle East, NorthAfrica and Central America. Cheeseexports for 2011 now total 43.1 millionpounds.

USDA’s latest Live-stock, Dairy and Poul-

try Outlook predictsmilk production will continue to rise.Continued herd expansion is aidingthis year’s production, the report said,but next year’s forecast productionincrease will come from higher produc-tion per cow while herd size is expectedto contract fractionally.

High feed prices will continue to affectthe livestock sector and dairy in particu-lar, for the balance of 2011 and into 2012.The season-average corn price is forecastat $5.20 to $5.50/bu. for 2010-11 and $6 to$7/bu. in 2011-12. The forecast is anincrease from last month’s projections aswetness has delayed planting in majorparts of the United States and may ulti-mately curtailplanted acreagefrom earlier indi-cated intentions.

Soybean mealprice forecasts wereraised to $350 a tonfor 2010-11 and to$375 to $405 in2011-12. Hay pricesare up sharply andreflect concernsabout supplies in theface of disappointingweather patterns inmany parts of thecountry. The price ofother feedstuffs may affect hay pricesmore this year than in the recent past,according to the Outlook.

The feed price outlook is expected toimpact dairy herd size this year andnext. Although cow numbers are pro-jected to rise in 2011, the year-over-yearrise of 0.7 percent, to 9.18 million head,is small, according to the USDA, and fol-lows herd reductions in 2009 and 2010.Herd size in 2012 is forecast to dip frac-tionally, to 9.16 million head, as higherfeed prices impact producer returns.

Milk per cow is expected to climb to21,305 pounds in 2011 and is the small-est year-over-year increase in a numberof years. Next year, yield per cow is fore-cast at 21,685 pounds about the samerate as 2011 on a per-day basis. Highfeed prices will act to limit productivitygains, while herd freshening, which likelyhas been underway the last year or so,will ultimately increase output per cow.

■

Meanwhile, the U.S. Department ofAgriculture proposed a rule this weekmandating electronic dairy product pricereporting. Dairy Profit Weekly editor DaveNatzke said in Friday’s DairyLine that,

“with wholesale prices for cheese, butterand other products used in complex fed-eral milk marketing order formulas whichset minimum milk prices paid to farmers,accurate and timely information is neces-sary. For years, that has meant processorsfiled weekly paper reports.”

Electronic reporting was required bythe 2008 farm bill, but only when theUSDA was able to come up with themoney to implement the program. Lastyear, Congress passed the MandatoryPrice Reporting Act, setting a one-yeardeadline for the USDA to implementelectronic reporting.

The plan introduced by the USDA does-n’t change the frequency or numbers ofdairy products that must be reported,

Natzke said, and itexempts processorsmarketing less than1 million pounds ofproducts a year. Theplan requires theUSDA to publishweekly price reportsummaries everyWednesday, insteadof the current Fri-day morning report.The USDA isaccepting publiccomments untilAug. 9, and willissue a final rulesometime this fall.

IDFA has voiced support for the plan.Natzke also reported on another bill

introduced this week that would impactfarmers and also has to do with electronicreporting but deals with the system thattracks workers in the United States.

Under the “Legal Workforce Act,” intro-duced by Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas,use of the federal government’s “E-Ver-ify” system would become mandatory forall U.S. employers within two years.Designed to identify illegal immigrantsin the U.S. workforce, the bill repeals thecurrent “I-9” paper-based system, andrequires businesses to verify the immi-gration status of all new employees on afederal electronic database. The billoffers a one-year extension to agriculturemaking use of E-Verify mandatorywithin three years, Natzke said.

The Senate, by a 40 to 59 vote,rejected an amendment that wouldhave eliminated the current ethanol taxincentive. Growing numbers questionconverting corn into gasoline, believingthe practice is driving up feed costs fordairy, beef, pork and poultry farmers,thereby driving up consumer food costs.

MIELKE, from pg. 30A■

And, in anotherpolitical hot potato;the debate wears on over future dairy policy. TheMilk Producers Council’s Rob Vandenheuvel wrote intheir weekly newsletter that the NMPF’s “Founda-tion for the Future” proposal is close to being intro-duced in the House in the next week or two.

Rep. Colin Peterson, D-Minn., the ranking Democ-rat on the House ag committee, stated that “a just-completed Congressional Budget Office scoringshows the proposal would cost taxpayers less thanexisting dairy policy and therefore would not add tothe budget deficit, thus satisfying a key demand ofRepublicans.”

Speaking in Wednesday’s DairyLine, Vandenheuvelsaid there’s as many opinions on how to change dairypolicy as there are dairy farmers but the key ques-tion is how to get it through Congress. He said thatthe NMPF “has the infrastructure and the resourcesto make that kind of a legislative push.”

Other groups, including the MPC, have formed var-ious proposals the past couple years, he admitted,and “may be the best proposal in the world but ifthey can’t get the votes in the House and the Senatethey’re essentially worthless.”

“Producers have very little ability to collectivelyrespond to market conditions,” he argued, and hecited 2009 as a prime example, calling it the worstmarket condition any dairyman today has ever seenand yet milk production was down less than 1 per-cent for the year.

“You’re dealing with live animals and bills thathave to be paid,” Vandenheuval said. “You have tokeep cash flowing and every dairyman, even whentimes are bad, has an inherent incentive to continueproducing as much as they can.”

He said it seemed like it had to “get so bad for solong to get the supply correction that we need,” but“the Foundation proposal enables that to happenmore quickly and unite the 60,000 dairy farmers inthe country to pull back production temporarilywhen we have those market imbalances and that’svery empowering to the dairy farmers and scary forthe processors because processors have been enjoy-ing the status quo for quite some time.”

“The status quo has protected them (processors) overthe last number of years,” he said, “and as the dairyindustry has been going through a downturn, it’s beenthe producers that carry all that risk, not the proces-sors. Under Foundation that would begin to change.”

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

Soda jerks If you have just one malt this summerat The MinneSODA Fountain on Main

Avenue in downtown Park Rapids, youwill remember it through the followingfall, the long dark winter, spring’s hope-fulness, until finally, you can once againmake a summer pilgrimage to this 90-year-old icon of sweetened dairy products.

So, it’s just a malt, the uninitiated skep-tic may say. I say you can have a malt inany one of hundreds of Minnesota cafeswith back-to-the-’50s decor and it justisn’t the same. A malt is not a maltbecause the waitress wears bobby socks,there are James Dean photos on the wall,and Coca-Cola are in even the rest rooms.That’s decor.

Don’t get me wrong. Since The Min-neSODA Fountain was actually around inthe ’50s, there’s decor. But malts requiremore than decoration. It’s the malt pow-der. And something else. Whatever themagic is you will taste the difference inMinneSODA’s chocolate, cherry, vanilla,marshmallow, blueberry, root beer, butter-scotch and 11 other flavors of malts. Andyou’ll remember.

Beth Belfiori and her staff at The Min-neSODA call themselves soda jerks. NowI know what a soda jerk does because I’mold enough to have been served by a gen-uine 1950s soda jerk named BunnyEifert. It was at Schenk’s Drug Store. Idon’t know why Mr. Eifert was called ajerk, however.

“It’s because you jerked the handle ofthe fountain back to get charged water inthe phosphate drinks,” Belfiori said.

The original fountain is visible, but idle,at MinneSODA so there’s no actual soda-jerking going on. I suppose that’s decor.But staff does serve up real phosphatesin cherry, strawberry, vanilla, chocolate,lime, lemon and green river. Bunny Eifertmade something with all the flavors com-bined that he called The Suicide. Belfiorisays she’s never made one but would beglad to try.

MinneSODA serves other concoctionsthat regulars at Schenk’s Drug Store wouldremember. There are orange floats, browncows (an ice cream soda with chocolatesyrup and a touch of root beer), banana orhot fudge splits and banana slides. There isalso a line-up of 10 different sundaes,including four named after candy bars.

Since milk and sugar do not provide allthe nutrients necessary to sustain life,MinneSODA serves 17 different sand-wiches. I’d recommend the Chicago StyleHot Dog. Think of it as sort of a vitaminsupplement.
