...keeps the beef cattle fed (with hay)By TIM KINGThe Land Correspondent

STAPLES, Minn. — Steve “Gilby”Gilbertson fed his last apples to feedercalves in early April.

“I ran out. I don’t have any more,” he said.Gilbertson operates a 200-acre beef

ranch and apple orchard south of Staples.The orchard has some 2,000 trees and theapples that aren’t sold for wholesale pur-poses are cut up, sun-dried, and stored inlarge coolers to feed to feeder calves.

“I wean them and keep them for anothermonth and then I sell them as 550- to600-pound feeders,” he said. “I don’t givethem too much. Just enough to give themthe extra sugar they need.”

Gilbertsons’ black baldy and blackAngus calves don’t get any grain.

“We don’t have any grain on the farm,”

he said. “They get what we have — applesand hay.”

The calves relish the apples and arehealthy and grow rapidly so Gilbertsonisn’t overly concerned that there isn’tmuch information available on the nutri-tional value of apples for them.

“I called the University of Minnesota acouple of times but they didn’t have any-body that could help me with this,” he said.“What I found out is that an apple hasabout 100 calories per apple. Basically theyare getting sugar. I saw some studies from awhile back and they fed some heifers andapples came up fairly identical to corn. Ifyou have extra apples you can replace corn.”

Gilbertson’s conclusions mirror those of astudy done with lactating dairy cows in India.In that study Indian researchers replaced athird of the corn ration with apple pomace.Pomace is what’s left after apple juice is

made. Overall production, as well as milk fat,was the same with cows on the apple-cornration as it was on the straight corn ration.

Another study, done at Michigan StateUniversity, fed pomace to beef cattle andanalyzed its nutrient value. The studyfound that total digestible nutrients forapples was 69.7, for pomace it was 63.4,corn silage was 72.0, and corn was 90.0.Fat was somewhat higher in the corn andsilage than in the apple products.

The Michigan study speculated that toomany apples could damage an animal’srumen but the researchers appear not tohave pursued that issue. When a visitorsees a dozen of Gilbertson’s bred cows comethundering up at high speed to get somefresh apple treats, it is apparent that theyhaven’t pursued the matter either.See APPLES, pg. 7B

Welcome to summer

Minnesota farmers and rural residents should bevery upset with Gov. Mark Dayton’s “50-foot bufferstrip” policy initiative. The proposed law would forcefarmers to take 50 feet of land out of productionalong the back slope of agricultural drainage ditches.

Fifty feet doesn’t sound like much but it couldequate to 5-10 percent of the acres in many fields.The proposed law started out as a way to increasepheasant habitat, but shifted to arguing that waterquality would benefit, when it was clear that forcingfarmers to provide habitat for pheasant hunterswouldn’t fly.

Dayton accused farmers of creating “cesspools.”Nothing could be farther from the truth and the Gov-ernor should apologize for this statement. Muchresearch done in Minnesota shows that water from

agricultural lands has equal or better water qualitythan before European settlement.

The impact of modern agriculture on water qualitycan best be demonstrated with a few historical com-parative examples. One is from a 2002 MinnesotaPollution Control Agency report of historical lakephosphorus levels. The phosphorus concentration oflakes is a standard indicator of water quality. Lowerlevels indicate less nutrient enrichment.

The MPCA identified lakes across Minnesota thatcould be used as “background” indicator lakes. Fivelakes in southern Minnesota were selected whichrepresented predominately agricultural watersheds.Cores from the lakes were age-dated and phosphorus

COMMENTARY, from pg. 2Aconcentrations for years 1750and 1990 were determined. Theaverage level for 1750 was 48 parts per billion,while the level for 1990 was 46 ppb. Water qualityrepresenting modern agriculture was slightly betterthan levels representing pre-European settlement.

A second example is provided by the Departmentof Natural Resources. Trout stream quality water isviewed as the pinnacle of good water quality. Troutare not native to the Minnesota River Basin,because the native waterquality would not supportreproducing populations oftrout. The DNR introducedEuropean Brown Trout tothe basin many years ago.Initially, they didn’t repro-duce because waterwarmed in the wetlandsthat fed the streams.

However, today there are reproducing populationsof Brown Trout in many streams within the basinfed by agricultural drainage ditches. Most of theseditches do not have the 50-foot “buffer” on the back-slope. The agricultural practices in these water-sheds are representative of modern agriculturethroughout the state.

The Governor’s perception that agriculture is pro-ducing “cesspools” is completely contradicted byfacts and the evidence. Agriculture is actuallyimproving water quality relative to the native con-ditions. Many other unbiased studies clearly showthat agriculture is good for water quality and farm-ers should be proud of their stewardship.

Some evidence actually indicates that the 50-footbuffer proposal could reduce water quality; as wellas, reduce duck nesting success. The Governor needsto ask his commissioners why he is being misin-formed.

The proposed buffer law comes with significantcost to individual farmers and will negativelyimpact rural economies. In Brown County about $25million of land will be taken out of production, withabout $50 million in Redwood and nearly $75 mil-lion in Renville counties. Statewide, about $1 billionin land will be confiscated from farmers. In addi-tion, the loss of production from this land couldhave an estimated $500 million annual negativeimpact on the rural economy.

Call Gov. Dayton — (800) 657-3717 — and your

legislators and tell them that farmers, theenvironment and rural Minnesota can’t afford

his buffer proposal. Also, tell the Governor heshould get his facts straight about agriculture andwater quality in the future.

This commentary was submitted by Greg Bartz, Pres-ident, Brown County Farm Bureau Board; Steven Com-merford, Policy Chair, Brown County Farm BureauBoard; and Richard Trebesch, President, Brown CountyCorn and Soybean Growers Association Board. ❖

Tell theGovernorhe shouldget his factsstraight ...

Sysco Corporation may not be a topic ofdinner conversation most evenings any-where in the United States but it is whatmany Americans are having for dinner —and lunch and breakfast — almost anyday everywhere in America.

Never heard of Sysco? Maybe not, butyou’ve seen ’em.

Ever pull up to a local fast or fastcasual restaurant, nearby hospital, hotel,nursing home, or school and see a long,gleaming semi-truck and trailer at thebuilding’s back door unloading cartloadsof boxed fresh, canned, and frozenfoods?

That’s Sysco, North America’s biggestdistributor of food and food-related products torestaurants, hotels, schools, healthcare facilities,and other foodservice providers.

And biggest means really big. According to 2014figures, Sysco sold $46.5 billion in food and servicesfrom 73 distribution centers to 425,000 customersaround the United States.

That’s another way you may know the company;its acre-gobbling distribution centers from Albany toAnchorage. Most resemble what they, in fact, are:massive deep freezers stuffed with mountains ofbasic food ingredients that go into many of the 500million meals eaten by Americans outside the homeevery day.

But being the biggest isn’t big enoughfor Sysco. In December 2013, it announcedits purchase of chief rival US Foods for$8.2 billion in cash and stock. US Foods,while a distant number two to Sysco infoodservice market share, isn’t tiny. In2013, it made $22 billion in sales to200,000 customers from 61 distributioncenters nationwide.

If done, according to the Federal TradeCommission, the new Sysco would be a$65 billion-a-year battleship commanding75 percent of all food sales to larger chain

restaurants, more than 50 percent of allfood sales in at least 32 cities nation-wide, and as much as 80 percent of all

restaurant food sales in a handful ofcities like Washington, D.C.

That’s power; that’s dominance. And that, said theFTC this past February, should not happen.

On a narrow 3-to-2 vote — three Democratic com-missioners for; two Republican commissionersagainst — the FTC asked a federal judge Feb. 19 toblock the Sysco-US Foods deal. In its 24-page, heav-ily redacted filing with the court, the FTC made itscase. Its operative facts arrive on pages 12 and 13where the Commission explains the market powerthe new firm will possess if the deal goes through.

“The Merger Guidelines and courts measure (mar-ket) concentration using the Herfindahl-HirschmanIndex ... Under the Merger Guidelines, a merger is

presumed likely to create or enhance market power— and is presumptively illegal — when the post-merger HHI exceeds 2,500 and the merger increasesthe HHI by more than 200 points.”

Should Sysco be permitted to buy US Foods“…post-Merger, the market would be substantiallymore highly concentrated than today. The Mergerwould result in a post-Merger HHI of 5,836 andincreases in concentration of 2,800 points, or 14times the increase necessary to establish a presump-tion of competitive harm.”

In the above-mentioned 32 markets where themerged Sysco and US Foods would not competehead-to-head as they do now, the deal would deliverHHIs of “between 2,997 and 10,000.”

In fact, notes the FTC report, “By eliminating vig-orous competition between Sysco and US Foods, theMerger would significantly reduce these benefits,harming businesses that offer food away from homeand, ultimately, their end consumers.”

So, slam dunk, no deal, right? After all, the FTCshows irrefutable data that clearly establishes mar-ket concentration will increase by an “illegal” factorfrom four to “14 times necessary to establish a pre-sumption of competitive harm.”

In a story published in the May 4 Wall Street Jour-nal — the day before Sysco and US Foods were tobegin a seven-day court hearing to refute the FTCfiling — “the companies call(ed) the FTC’s math‘pure fiction,’” and promised a hard fight for theirdeal.

No surprise. Too many rules, according to Sysco, iswhat ails business. The cure, it suggests, is anythingthat satisfies Big Biz’s big appetite.

Even, as in this case, it’s just pure baloney.The Farm and Food File is published weekly

OPINION

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

Lignin, the complex organiccompound that binds to cellu-lose fiber and hardens andstrengthens the cell walls ofplants, increases yields butmakes alfalfa and other foragegrass difficult for livestock todigest. Alforex Seeds’ solutionis Hi-Gest Alfalfa with reduced ligninand improved fiber digestibility.

Alforex Seeds introduced a dormantand semi-dormant variety in October2014. Kent Fabel, district sales man-ager for Alforex Seeds, explained thatthe dormant variety is for northern cli-mates where winter survival some-what depends upondormancy.

Fabel said that inmature plant tissuelignin increases yield,but negatively affectsforage quality andinterferes with animaldigestion. To minimizethis yield-versus-qual-ity dilemma, producershave traditionally har-vested at the late budstage or by one-tenthbloom to reach a com-promise of yield andquality.

Alforex Seeds addressed this conflictwith Hi-Gest Alfalfa, which provides asignificant reduction in plant ligninand improves fiber digestibility. Thesenew varieties are estimated to have aseven to 10 percent lignin reductiondepending on harvest maturity stageand management practices.

According to University of Wisconsindata, increasing neutral detergentfiber digestibility by one percent willincrease relative forage quality 2-3percent, increase milk per ton by 21pounds and increase milk per acre by167 pounds. Additionally, the studyshows that a 1 percent increase in for-age NDFD yields a 0.4 increase in drymatter intake and a 0.51-poundincrease in milk yield.

Low lignin technology benefits pro-ducers in that they do not need toadjust harvesting or feeding practices.

“They can produce dairy quality hayat their normal 28-day cutting sched-ules, or choose to increase yield out to35-days cuttings without sacrificingquality,” he said.Enchanted Dairy

Ron Miller, of Enchanted Dairy, Lit-tle Falls, Minn., is interested in low-

lignin alfalfa for his 1,800-cowdairy farm.

“We can’t do a four-cut har-vest very well because of tim-ing. We’d like to stay in our cur-rent three-cut system butincrease our quality compara-ble to that of a four-cut sys-tem,” said Miller.

Extending the period in between cut-tings without any sacrifice in quality,which low-lignin alfalfas apparentlycan provide, appeals to his businessstrategy.

“We don’t like cutting every 28 days. Itseems we’re always crowded in our workschedules. So if we can get into a 35-daycutting schedule, that simply works bet-

ter in our total opera-tion,” said Miller.

He’s looking forwardto switching all theiralfalfa stands to low-lignin as the seedbecomes available. Afour-year duration ofalfalfa seedings is thenorm at EnchantedDairy.

“If we let it go fiveyears the stand qualityis down as is the pro-ductivity,” said Miller.“Four years allows us to

get manure back on those fields andrebuild their nutrient levels. You go toolong and you’re holding back other acresthat really should be back into alfalfa.”Forage grasses

Forage grasses are increasing in pop-ularity — both in mixing in withalfalfa or growing straight foragegrasses.

“Better feed value, increased palata-bility, more variety for the animalswhich in turn promotes better healthand more longevity in your livestockare reasons farmers share with me,”Fabel said.

The forage grass seeds of Alforexinclude perennials, biennials, and afew summer annuals. Alfalfa, however,continues the No. 1 forage seed in itslineup. Nutritional value andlongevity is what continues to keepalfalfa the queen of forages, said Fabel.

As more producers get concernedabout soil health, deep-rooted alfalfa isbuilding soil nitrogen levels whileimproving soil texture.

Cover crops are also working theirway into Alforex products.

“More interest every year,” saidFabel. “Cover crops can be used for fall

and spring forage after harvest of awheat crop. Plus cover crops buildnutrient value in your soils by deeprooting and bringing up nutrients nat-urally occurring in your soils but atdeeper levels. A radish will punchroots down 3 feet or more to loosen uphardpan conditions. And a wintercover crop such as winter triticale orwinter rye or winter peas can providegood forage value early the nextspring, or as green manure in an

organic farming operation.”Low commodity prices may actually

have a positive impact on forage seedsales.

“In fact with less corn acres pre-dicted, some growers might be lookingfor alternative crops, especially if theyhave livestock and/or neighbors thatmight be needing additional foragefeeds,” he said. “There’s definitely moreinterest in building microbial activityin soils so I think there’s a good futurefor alfalfas and other forage crops,including selected cover crops.”

Alforex seeds was formed in Novem-ber, 2012 when Dow AgroSciencescombined the alfalfa and forage seedsbreeding programs of Cal West, Pro-ducer’s Choice and Grand Centralinto a single entity based in Wood-land, Cal.

BY MARIE WOODThe Land Associate Editor

MORGAN, Minn. — TheMinnesota Supreme Courtruled that when a Minnesotafarmer elects the Buy theFarm statute, utility compa-nies constructing power linesacross farmland must “buythe farm” instead of simplypurchasing easement rights.

This landmark court case was amatter of principle for retired farmerDale Tauer of Morgan, whose Buy theFarm request was challenged byGreat River Energy and its partnersin the CapX2020 project.

“It was more about principle thanpay,” he said. “The principle was they(utility companies) shouldn’t be ableto get away with this.”

Chief Justice Lorie S. Gildea upheldthe state district court decision andthe state court of appeals affirmationto order Great River Energy to buythe Tauer property, roughly 218 acres,in its entirety.

CapX2020, in cooperation with 11utility companies, is a project expand-ing the transmission grid and sup-porting renewable energy across Min-nesota, North Dakota, South Dakotaand Wisconsin.

Tim Carlsgaard, communicationsand public affairs manager forCapX2020 and Xcel Energy, said theychallenged because it wasn’t reason-able to buy 218 acres when only an8.86-acre easement was needed. Thechallenge was based on precedentsset by 1980 and 1984 Buy the Farmrulings, which brought up the issue ofreasonableness.

“We only needed a nine-acre ease-

ment, but even then it wasonly one structure on the prop-erty that was farmable,” saidCarlsgaard. “The other factorwe looked at is no house, nofarm building on the property.”

The judges didn’t see it thatway and the decision sets aprecedent for landowners’rights. Since the March ruling,

Tauer has received calls from otherfarmers excited about the decision.

Mike Rajkowski, of Quinlivan &Hughes in St. Cloud, is Tauer’s attor-ney and an experienced litigator inlandowners’ rights and CapX2020cases.

“For farmers it’s a huge case becauseit gives clarity to the Buy the Farmstatute,” said Rajkowski.

Farmers are eligible to make the Buythe Farm election in the case of highvoltage power lines of 200 kilovolts ormore as long as the land is commer-cially viable. They must do so within60 days of being served the petition.

The next step, likely in June, is theRedwood County Condemnation Com-mission. A panel of three commission-ers will listen to testimony, reviewappraisals from Tauer and a represen-tative from Great River Energy andset a price for the land.

“No one’s disputing the need for elec-tricity. It’s just a matter of being givena fair price for their land,” saidRajkowski.

Commissioners will look at what theentire property is worth before thepower line came through, he said.

“In the end,” said Carlsgaard, “theSupreme Court came down with thatdecision. We respect that decision. Wewill work to come up with a settlement

with the Tauers.”Eminent domain

In November 2012, CapX2020 utilitycompanies condemned the 8.86-acreeasement and then tookan additional 3.38 acresfor an access easement,according to supremecourt records. That’sroughly 12 acres alto-gether. While the matteris being settled in court,the power company,under quick take rules,can install power linesafter 90 days.

Two high voltagepower poles wereinstalled on the Tauer property in2013. A third power pole was con-structed on the corner of the plot, saidTauer.

Utility companies have the power ofeminent domain to take private prop-erties for public use. Landowner’srights are protected in the 5th Amend-ment by the clause: “nor shall privateproperty be taken for public use, with-out just compensation.”

In Minnesota, landowners also havethe Buy the Farm law. Buy the Farmwas passed in 1977 by the MinnesotaLegislature after farmer protests overa high-voltage power line from NorthDakota to the Twin Cities. The lawgives landowners the rights to makeutility companies buy the entire pieceof property.

Dale and Janet Tauer were first con-tacted in June 2012 by a CapX2020 rep-resentative with the easement request.Tauer wanted it in writing that he could

farm the easement andbuild and repair tilewithout permission fromthe power company.

“I really wanted a fewchanges made in thelanguage of the ease-ment,” said Tauer.“They weren’t willing todo that.”

Carlsgaard said thatCapX2020 has norecord that Tauer askedfor that language. He

said the structures consist of one poleon a cement foundation so farmers canfarm right up to the structure.

“You still own the property,” saidCarlsgaard. “The contract states thatyou can do anything in that easementas long as you don’t damage the pole.”

The CapX2020 appraisal value of theeasement was $30,100, Carlsgaardsaid. Negotiations began at $4,000 peracre. Tauer rejected the final, best offerof $56,000, which averaged about$6,300 an acre.

Adjacent land was $12,400 per acreat that time and Tauer said his landwould have appraised for over $10,000an acre. That’s one reason he electedBuy the Farm.

For famers it’s ahuge casebecause it givesclarity to theBuy the Farmstatute.

See BUY THE FARM, pg. 7A

BUY THE FARM, from pg. 6A“They felt ‘buy the farm’ meant buy

the 10 acres,” said Tauer. “I’m a littlestubborn.”

Tauer was renting out the RedwoodCounty field in 2012 and then his sonbegan farming the field in 2013.

“If he did not want to live next to thepower line, I understand it,” saidCarlsgaard. “But he didn’t live next tothe power line. We should be clearabout that. We went through thescrubland.”

Tauer exercised his right to take themoney and buy a different parcel offarmland without the complications.

In Jackson County, Tauer has farm-land with power poles erected byenXco, now called EDF RenewableEnergy based in California. Complica-tions from power poles on that prop-erty cost him $23,000 in tile repairs.CapX2020

While the CapX project is windingdown, the need for power and infra-structure will continue.

Since 2009, CapX2020 utility part-ners have been constructing transmis-sion lines that cover 800 miles and costan estimated $2 billion, according toits website. The vast majority of ease-ments have been purchased.

CapX has dealt with about 2,000landowners and only 100 have madeBuy the Farm elections, said Carls-gaard. Of those 100, the majority havebeen single family homes with one ortwo acres who did not want a structurein the backyard, he said.

Of the remaining 1,900 properties,he said most were farming and live-stock operations.

Carlsgaard said that CapX staff

were dedicated to satisfying landown-ers in the field during the construc-tion phase — repairing broken tilesand paying crop damages for up tothree years. They purchased 7,000mats to drive on to alleviate soil com-paction.

Tauer rejected utility’s final offer: ‘I’m a little stubborn’

By MARIE WOODThe Land Associate Editor

Minnesota turkey producerJohn Zimmerman is lucky,thankful but ever vigilant. Stillno cases of avian flu have beenidentified in Rice County as ofMay 13.

“We’re all on edge,” he said. “Idon’t know a turkey producerout there that’s not scared, frankly.”

Zimmerman, of P & J Products inNorthfield, Minn., operates a turkeyoperation with a capacity of 110,000birds, producing four million pounds ofturkey meat every year, with two full-time employees.

Turkey producers are posting onFacebook about avian flu — messagesof relief when they get a healthy flockto market. Zimmerman has felt thatrelief with his last two flocks.

All turkeys are tested at the process-ing plant so no infected turkeys willreach consumers. In avian flu controland surveillance zones, more testing isbeing done on-farm as well.

“The guys I’ve talked to that havehad an outbreak, it’s 10 dead, 100, thenthousands. It’s very quick. Within 48hours you’ve lost most of your flock,” hesaid. “It’s bad.”

Zimmerman, a board member of theMinnesota Turkey Growers Associa-tion, said they have been watching thehighly pathogenic avian influenzasince it came over from China.

“Popping out across Minnesota, ithasn’t followed a neat and clean trendfrom north to south,” he said. “We’re allon the lookout.”

Zimmerman describes his latest secu-rity measures as “a biosecurity bubble

on all of our barns; nothingfrom the outside of the barn in.”

Separate boots and coverallsare used for every barn, nounnecessary personnel areallowed in the barn, traffic flow isfrom younger to older birds, andall equipment is sanitized beforeit goes in the barn, he said.

Biosecurity used to focus onkeeping a virus from spreading betweenpoultry operations, but now producersare protecting their birds from the duckor goose that may be right outside thebarn door, said Zimmerman.

He estimated the downtime for aturkey farm hit by the virus is any-where from three to five months.

“It’s devastating to the individualfarms that get this disease,” Zimmer-man said. “My heart goes out to them.”

The response from the MinnesotaDepartment of Agriculture, Board ofAnimal Health and the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture has been tremen-dous, he said.

“The hope is that we can learn fromthis introduction in the spring and beeven more prepared for next fall,” hesaid.

While H5N2 is devastating for grow-ers and tough on the industry, this pro-ducer asked consumers to help keepthe market for turkeys strong. If thedemand for turkey tanks, it’s a “doublewhammy” for growers trying torecover, he said.

“Turkey is still safe to eat. Eat turkeyand help out the industry,” said Zim-merman. “We have to look toward thefuture, get back on our feet and hope-fully the demand is still there for ourproduct.” ❖

This column was writtenfor the marketing week end-ing May 8.

Just as California debatesthe merits of joining theFederal Milk Marketingorder program, comes wordthat the California Depart-ment of Food and Agricul-ture, on its own motion, iscalling a milk pricing hear-ing June 3 to consider pro-posed amendments to theClass 4b pricing formula.

Western United Dairymen praisedthe call and stated in a press releasethat it, “in joint effort with other dairytrade associations, has been committedto finding a way to bring change to theCalifornia milk pricing system thatcreates a fair pricing structure for thestate’s dairy producers.”

Rob Vandenheuvel, General Managerof California’s Milk Producers Council,talked about it at the first public out-reach meeting on creating a Federalorder held Monday in Fresno in Fri-day’s DairyLine. He said that propo-nents of the proposals that have beensubmitted were given the opportunityto defend their plan to USDA officialsand attendees. The proposals includethose offered by three of the majordairy cooperatives, the Dairy Instituteof California, representing the state’sdairy processors, plus two others.

He said the meeting in Fresno wasvery well attended and that there wasa lot of producer participation andinterest in what’s in these proposalsbut are united in the plan offered bythe three dairy cooperatives.

“We see some real challenges andproblems with the way the processorsof the Dairy Institute has crafted theiralternative proposal but that’s why wehave a hearing process and USDA staffacts as the judge and jury in weighingthe facts and the merits of the variousproposals and we’ll go through thatprocess, hopefully, later this year ifUSDA does deem a hearing necessary.”

With regard to CDFA’s callfor a public hearing onamending the 4b pricing for-mula, Vandenheuvel agreedthat we had been there anddone that in “trying to getlong term reform throughour state order.”

“What this hearing veryclearly is is stated in thenotice,” he said, “is that it’s atemporary measure.”

He said, “There’s recogni-tion that producers are moving towardthe Federal order as a long term optionfor how to regulate our milk pricinggoing forward, but between now and aFederal order, perhaps up to two yearsof hearings, recommended decisions,voting, and final decisions, SecretaryRoss is providing a hearing for us tomake a case why a, up to 24 month,adjustment to the Class 4b price calcu-lation is warranted.”

The Dairy Institute’s ExecutiveDirector, Rachel Kaldor, told Dairy-Business Update that "Dairy Instituteappreciates Secretary Ross' commit-ment to our industry. After findingsome common ground during last sum-mer's legislative push, we had hoped tomake progress with our industry part-ners to formulate both short- termremedies and long-term reform. Ourefforts were eclipsed by the pressure ofprice declines and drought, which areunderstandable reasons to call a hear-ing. We plan to fully participate. Thesubject of appropriate valuation ofwhey in regulated prices is of greatconcern to our members."

Meanwhile; Tuesday’s Global DairyTrade auction saw the weighted aver-age for all products offered drop 3.5percent, following a 3.6 percent declinein the April 15 event and a 10.8 per-cent drop April 1. This is the fourthconsecutive session of loss and the low-est level since 2009. Only one productoffered saw a gain. Cheddar cheese wasup 9.1 percent, which followed a 2.7percent jump last time.

Leading the declines was buttermilkpowder, down 14 percent, which was up2.1 percent in the last event. Rennetcasein was next, down 11 percent, fol-lowing a 0.6 percent slip last time, thenskim milk powder, down 7.5 percent,

Pasture is the primary source of forage for organicdairies, and organic livestock production regulationsrequire a minimum of 120 days grazing per animal.Profitability depends on pastures that provide a sea-son-long supply of high quality forage.

Compared to monocultures, diversity reduces risksassociated with loss of any single pasture species,provides for variable resource use within a field, sup-plies potentially more uniform biomass during thegrowing season, and improves soil health. Pasturediversity can be increased by adding grasses andforbs and by increasing numbers of species withingrasses and forbs.

An example is to grow nitrogen-fixing legumes withgrasses. Although legumes supply nitrogen to grassesand provide a higher energy feedstuff than grasses,legumes are generally less persistent and requirehigher levels of soil fertility than grasses. Increasesin diversity in a farm’s forage base can be achieved byplanting mixtures in individual pastures, and byplanting separate pastures with different species.

There are a lot of disagreements regarding the idealnumber of species to include in pasture mixtures.Most agronomic guidelines recommend the use of asmall number of species in grazed mixtures. Pastresearch in the Northeast United States found thatsix to nine grass species were more productive than awhite clover-orchardgrass mixture.

MIELKE, from pg. 13Acent loss last time, and butter roundedup the losses, down 0.8 percent, follow-ing a 6.6 percent drop last time.

FC Stone reports the average GDTbutter price equated to about $1.36 perpound U.S., down from $1.3727 in theApril 15 event. Contrast that toChicago Mercantile Exchange butterwhich closed Friday morning at$1.9850 per pound. The GDT Cheddarcheese average was $1.37 per poundU.S., up from $1.3099. The U.S. blockCheddar CME price closed Friday at$1.6125. GDT skim milk powder, at 93cents per pound U.S., is down from$1.0221, and the whole milk powderaverage at $1.08 per pound U.S., isdown from $1.1093 in the last event.The CME Grade A nonfat dry milkprice closed Friday at 95.75 cents perpound.

“U.S. dairy exports grow to ninemonth high,” according to the U.S.Dairy Export Council’s Alan Levitt inhis latest blog posting. Levitt states:“In March, U.S. dairy export volumesreached their highest level in ninemonths, led by record-high shipmentsof nonfat dry milk/skim milk powder toMexico and cheese to South Korea. Inaddition, global shipments of lactoseand whey protein isolate topped previ-ous highs.”

Overall volume and value improvedfrom previous months, though saleslagged year-ago levels. On a daily-aver-age basis, exports were up 19 percentby volume and 14 percent by value fromFebruary. However, compared with lastMarch, exports were down nine percentby volume and 24 percent by value.Comparisons with March 2014 look lessfavorable in part because U.S. exportslast March were the most ever.

Shipments of NDM/SMP were 55,022tons, up 40 percent from February(daily average) and up 7 percent fromlast year. Sales to Mexico were 26,213tons, the most ever and 68 percentmore than a year ago.

Cheese exports in March were 34,302tons, up five percent from February(daily average) but down 5 percentfrom a year ago. Suppliers sold 8,410tons to South Korea, up 48 percentfrom last year and a new high.

Cash dairy prices in Chicago seemunfazed by what’s going on in the restof the world. The block Cheddar held at$1.61 for 11 consecutive sessions beforeit inched up a quarter-cent Friday andclosed at $1.6125 per pound, up a quar-

ter-cent on the week but 43.25 centsbelow a year ago. It sets a new high for2015 and is at the highest level sinceDec. 22, 2014.

The Cheddar barrels had an interest-ing week, jumping six cents Mondayand dropping 6.25 the next day butclosed May 8 at $1.62, up a quarter-cent on the week, 40 cents below a yearago, and three-quarter cents above theblocks, a spread that typically runs 3-5cents below the blocks. Eleven cars ofeach traded hands on the week. TheNational Dairy Products Sales Report-surveyed U.S. average block priceclimbed to $1.6055 per pound, up 1.3cents. The barrels averaged $1.6655, up0.8 cent.

■

FC Stone dairy broker Dave Kurza-wski commented in Wednesday’s EarlyMorning Update on May 5 cheesesales: “The volume of eight trades wasthe largest single day volume goingback to the last week of 2014. On Dec.26 we traded nine loads of barrels.You’ve got to go all the way back toJuly to find a single day volumegreater than eight for the blocks.”

Dairy Market News states that“Although block cheese market priceshave been extremely stable, unchangedfor 11 trading days at the CME, thisweek's sharp up and down movementin barrel prices reflects the apparentcontinuing general tightness of barrelsupplies contrasted with the ability ofsellers to quickly respond to priceopportunity, notwithstanding overallsupply tightness.”

Far fewer cheese plants manufacturebarrels than blocks, so the ongoing dis-cussion of cheese manufacturing oftenfocuses less on barrels than blocks. Ofthe barrel manufacturers, many usemuch of their production for their ownpurposes but make occasional or lowvolume sales to customers. A smallernumber manufacture barrels primarilyfor sales to external customers. Most ofthem have committed production forweeks into the future. With demand forbarrels being seasonally strong, evenplentiful milk supplies and full produc-tion schedules leave uncommitted sup-plies in short supply.

While barrel seasonal demand isoften ascribed to demand for processcheese used in grilling, a factor some-times overlooked is the upward trendin demand for cheese curds from retailcustomers, restaurants, and farmer'smarket sales. Cheese curds are moreprofitable to manufacturers than bar-rels. Meeting the rising demand for

cheese curds reduces the output of bar-rels for plants in the cheese curd busi-ness, says Dairy Market News.

MIELKE, from pg. 15A2015 and is the highest level since Dec. 12, 2014.NDPSR butter averaged $1.8049, up 4.7 cents.

Butter demand is remaining steady, according toDairy Market News. Some manufacturers still wantto build inventory levels, but are unable to with thecurrent demand levels. This has some manufactur-ers concerned about Third Quarter obligations.Churning remains active. Some reports say surpluscream is going into butter manufacturing. The For-eign Agricultural Service reports that U.S. butterexports in the January to March 2015 period,totaled 17.1 million pounds, down 75 percent fromthe same period in 2014.

Butter manufacturing remains a mixed picture inthe West. Cream availability appears to be long insome areas, and tight in others. Some plants haveeased back on butter production and are sellingmore cream.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed the week at95.75 cents per pound, up two cents but 83 centsbelow a year ago. Fourteen cars traded hands thisweek at the CME. NDPSR powder averaged 95.06cents per pound, down 0.1 cent, and dry whey aver-

aged 46.49 cents per pound, up 0.8 cent.The dairy farmer-funded Cooperatives Working

Together accepted nine requests for export assis-tance Monday from Agri-Mark, Dairy Farmers ofAmerica, and Northwest Dairy Association(Darigold) who have contracts to sell 604,067 poundsof Cheddar, Colby and Monterey Jack cheese and1.102 million pounds of whole milk powder to cus-tomers in Asia and the Middle East. The product hasbeen contracted for delivery through October andraises CWT’s 2015 export sales to 29.485 millionpounds of cheese, 24.388 million pounds of butter,and 9.841 million pounds of whole milk powder to 28countries.

■

You’ll recall that March 2015 milk productiontotaled 16.9 billion pounds, according to USDA’s pre-liminary data, up just 1.1 percent compared to March2014. USDA’s latest Dairy Products report issuedTuesday shows where that milk went and didn’t.

Butter output totaled 162 million pounds, up 3.5percent from February but three percent belowMarch 2014. Nonfat dry milk totaled 182 millionpounds, up 21 percent from February and 8.7 percent

above a year ago.Italian-type cheese output amounted to 433 million

pounds, up 9.7 percent from February and 1.5 per-cent above a year ago, American-type, at 388 millionpounds, was up 10.5 percent from February and 1.7percent above March 2014. Total cheese productioncame to 987 million pounds, up 11.3 percent fromFebruary and 1.8 percent above a year ago.

The Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statis-tics reports that the March Consumer Price Index forall food was 246.0, up 2.3 percent from 2014, anddown 0.3 percent from February 2015. The dairyproducts index is 224.4, up 0.6 percent from a yearago, with fresh whole milk down 4.5 percent from ayear ago; ice cream up 3.1 percent, cheese, up 3.0percent; and butter, up 5.5 percent. The March CPIfor dairy was down 0.5 percent from February 2015,with fresh whole milk down 0.5 percent; ice creamdown 1.2 percent, cheese, up 0.8 percent; and butter,down 4.7 percent.

FORAGE, from pg. 14AWhen selecting pasture grass

species, producers should consideryield potential, palatability, and sur-vival of grasses. Producers need toselect species that are winter hardy,have good seasonal yield distribution,and are rust resistant. Quite possibly,variety is as important or more impor-tant than species.

At the West Central Research andOutreach Center in Morris, Minn., we

are measuring the performance ofdairy cows grazing two unique pasturesystems designed to maximize sea-sonal forage yield and quality andextend the grazing season. System 1will increase within-field species diver-sity targeting perennial cool season,polyculture pastures to enhance multi-seasonal productivity (spring, summerand fall). System 2 will increaseacross-landscape diversity achieved byadding a combination of perennial

polycultures and annual warm seasongrasses fertilized with livestockmanures. Regional differences in soilfertility and rainfall may favor differ-ent pasture species in other locations.

Grazing systems using these differ-ent approaches to achieve diversityrequire biological, environmental and

economic analysis. Pasture manage-ment and forage species selectionwithin a farm can influence the feedquality of forage for grazing animals.

The kids were unbelievably disap-pointed.

There isn’t much you could do,though, when a long-anticipated eventgets rained out. You can rant andshake your fist at the sky but youknow that’s energy wasted.

The best you can do is rent a movie,re-schedule your event – and read“Rain: A Natural and Cultural His-tory” by Cynthia Barnett.

Eons ago, just after earth becamemore than a bit of debris flung off inthe birth of the sun, water vapor gottrapped in our planet’s atmosphere.Eventually, earth’s surface cooledenough that moisture poured downand it rained for years. That’s a good thing: withoutit, there would be no life here.

Early civilizations came and went with the rains.Humans moved from forest to savannah and pickedup hoes, tamed livestock, and built boats. They cre-ated gods to explain where rain comes from andwho ruled lightning, and just about every culturepassed down a cataclysmic flood story.

Centuries ago, people learned to harness and savewater, yet they could do little but dance or pray for

rain to fall in times of drought.In the early 1400s, King Sejong

the Great of Korea understoodhow to measure what fell. In thelate 1500s, witches were blamedfor dry spells; barometers wereinvented a hundred years later,and a fad for weather-watchingcaptivated America and Europe.

By 1802, clouds were namedby a man whose father thoughtweather prediction was folly;later that century, rainmakerswere paid fortunes to make clouds form over dryfields.

Today, even though we have modern methods ofpredicting rain and there are thousands of local pre-cipitation reporters around the world, meteorologistssometimes still miss storms and showers.

Even if we could tell where it was going to comedown (or not), there are things about rain we tend tooverlook.

Doodlers get raindrop shapes all wrong, forinstance. We ignore that rain has changed elections,societies, and wars.

We mightn’t understand that pruny-wet fingers

could be an ancientrain adaptation, orthat “raining cats anddogs” isn’t what othercultures say. And wemay not know that therain falling on ourfaces today may havewet the faces of ourmost ancient ances-tors.

Maybe because it’sas refreshing as itstitle, or maybe becauseit reminded me ofspring, but “Rain: ANatural and Cultural

History” made me very happy.That stuff that falls from the

sky isn’t strictly what this bookis all about, though. AuthorCynthia Barnett also touchesupon history, biology, earth sci-ence, global warming and allkinds of tiny facets of culture.We’re sprinkled with delightfulsurprises, as well as terrifyingtales of droughts and floods,then introduced to majesty onone page and destruction twopages later. That, for sure, is notall wet.

This book practically screams for weather fans toown it. It’s filled with fascinating knowledge, no mat-ter where you live. Whether your pray for precipita-tion or curse it, “Rain: A Natural and Cultural His-tory” is awash with goodness.

You see them out and about now andthen, and when you do, you know it’s truethat doctors still do make house calls. Orin this case, barn calls.

In farm country, the local veterinarian iswell known. His truck is always recogniz-able — the truck bed lined with countlesscompartments, filled with all of the thingsan animal doctor needs to have as he goesabout his work. And there are times whenthe farmer is relieved to see the dust fly-ing from that truck coming down his road.

He sees his share of mud and manureduring muddy calving seasons. He vacci-nates, performs all kinds of procedures on the farm,and he has to know when to just get out of the wayin the name of livestock safety. And no matter whatspecie of farm animal he’s tending to, I’m certainthere are times when he wishes the farmer wouldhave called sooner.

Now and then he’ll be almost up to his shoulder inthe back end of a cow, trying to see with his handwhat’s going on in there. He’ll deliver good and badnews about diseases, advise farmers, vaccinate,examine dead animals to get the final analysis, andwill put a million country miles on his truck. Andjust like the farmer for whom he works — and for hisown family — there are days when there isn’tenough of him to go around.

There are things that a veterinarian and his familymust simply grin and bear in the name of his voca-tion. A veterinarian we know said that, especiallyduring calving season, he never tries to go to bedbefore 10:30 p.m., because he knows farmers are outchecking their cows, and knows someone might havea calving emergency that will require either hisadvice or his help. The SOS calls often do come.

The veterinarian’s family knows that heis not always theirs if someone needs hishelp. They must get by at home withouthim from time to time so he can helpsomeone else in theirtime of need. He, too,misses his children’sconcerts and gamesnow and then becausehe’s working on a sickanimal. It’s an ethicalissue for the vet, and acash-flow issue for the farmer. They bothhave a stake in what’s going on.

He’s one who has assisted in the miracle of life somany times that it becomes second nature. A veteri-narian we know once invited one of our sons toaccompany him on a cesarean section call. Whenthey were finishing up the job and the veterinarianwas skillfully sewing the cow’s innards back togetherlayer by layer, he asked our son which of the layerswas the most important to get sewed up correctly.

“Probably the muscle layer,” our son answered.“Nope — the hide. It’s the only layer the people can

see,” the veterinarian joked.You gotta love one with a sense of humor. And the

experience he offered our son was one that he — abeginning cattleman himself — will always remem-ber.

And yet, the veterinarian can’t always solve theproblems.

One vet we know told us he recently had to put hisown dog down, saying it was the second hardestthing he’s ever had to do.

“The first hardest thing was to put the dog downthat I grew up with,” he said as he looked away tohide the tears welling in his eyes. It’s still hard,even after all these years. Veterinarians do under-

stand what the farmer goesthrough with all animals on hisfarm that don’t make it, aftervaliant efforts to save them.

We took our own dog to the vetonce to have her put down becauseit was going to be the most humanefor her. The veterinarian was right

there after the farewells and in the midst of all thosetears, helping the farmer to teach his growing chil-dren that sometimes there is no more than can bedone, and that love takes a on different form at thatpoint in the life of a suffering animal. And so the callgoes painfully out to the veterinarian.

At that point, the veterinarian tends to the farmerand his family as much as he does to the animal. It’sa personal trust that can’t be explained, or evenreplaced.

Veterinarians have a special kind of compassion.Some scenarios have a happy ending, and somedon’t. But it’s in some of those worst-case scenariosthat the strongest bonds of trust are made betweena farmer and his colleague in agriculture, the coun-try veterinarian.

IIn 1994 the Iowa legislature designated Le Mars as the“Ice Cream Capital of the World.” The basis for that titleis that more ice cream (150 million gallons) is produced

by one company (Wells’ Dairy) in one place (Le Mars) thananywhere else in the world.

For ice cream lovers, the title may be attractive, but whatreally attracts is the Blue Bunny Ice Cream Parlor in down-town Le Mars. It is easily spotted by the huge ice cream sun-dae sculpture in front of the parlor and the neon “BlueBunny Ice Cream” sign projecting from the corner of thebuilding. The inte-rior of the historicstructure wasrebuilt to tell thestory of the Wellscompany.

The main floor icecream parlorincludes a marbleice cream bar,plenty of other seat-ing, and a glass-fronted counterthat will challengea person’s ability tochoose among mul-tiple flavors. Onecorner of the firstfloor is set apart asa gift shop.

A grand staircase leads to the second floor, a mezzaninestyle area which has additional seating and a museum,including a video history of the company. There is also a pri-vate meeting room for conferences and parties.

In 2013 Wells’ Dairy celebrated its 100th anniversary bypartnering with Make-a-Wish Foundation to grant 100wishes. Naturally, every wish granted came with ice cream.According to Lesley Bartholomew, corporate communicationsmanager for Wells’ Dairy, the venture was so satisfying thatthe company has continued the partnership, granting 20wishes a year.

It is evident as soon as you drive into town that Le Marsand ice cream are linked, as you begin to spot decorated icecream cone sculptures dotting the landscape. The connectionis even more obvious if you happen to be there during “IceCream Days,” their community celebration in June, whenplenty of ice cream is served. But any time of year you canstop at the Blue Bunny Ice Cream Parlor and taste it foryourself.

For more information, parlor hours, and the story of the“Blue Bunny” label, check out www.bluebunny.com. IceCream Days this year are June 17-20, with more informationat www.lemarsiowa.com. ❖

The Pulks Wannaska, Minn.

Rain is in demand on the Andy Pulkfarm.

“We are very, very dry,” said Pulk onMay 7. “(The ground is) short ontopsoil moisture.”

As for planting, he finished getting the wheat,corn and beans in the ground, but still needs toplant sunflowers.

“We’re two-thirds to three-fourths done,” he

said. Pulk received some bad news. “We got notified that all our rye grass

acres have failed,” he said. While not acomplete surprise, it was “definitelydisappointing.”

Trying to look on the bright side, Pulknoted that no rye grass crop means no rye grassharvest, so they should actually be able to enjoy“some family time at the end of July.”

The Haarstads Rothsay, Minn.

All the corn was in the ground forJohn Haarstad as of May 1, and hefinished planting soybeans on May 5.When The Land spoke with Haarstadon May 7, he said a little precipitationhad just fallen from the sky.

“Not a lot, but nice to know it can rain,” saidHaarstad.

He said he’ll spraying pre-emerge on the beansand corn, as well as “side-dress urea on our corn

fields” as soon as the conditions areright.

“We never complain about rain,”Haarstad said, because when it doescome, he just heads over to his otherbusiness, National Sign Reclaiming.

NSR takes traffic signs and uses ahigh pressure washer to strip the paint off, thencleans them and ships them back to the countiesand cities they came from.

Rain or shine, all signs point to Haarstadstaying busy this time of year.

The Froemmings Garfield, Minn.

Things are off and running on theFroemming farm. “The rye is already afoot tall,” said Rodney Froemming onMay 7; the corn was popping up, too.

“Last couple of days you are startingto see rows,” he said.

Meanwhile, Froemming beganplanting soybeans on May 2, but withthe rain that fell that week, he said “Itwill be a while before getting back inthe field.”

Once the planter is back at it,though, Froemming expects it will only

take “two good days and we’ll be done.”

The Lees McIntosh, Minn.

Rain was needed on the Lee farmwhen The Land spoke with Joan Lee onMay 7. A mere couple hundredths ofan inch had fallen the day before, and

it was still dry in the area. Lee hasplanted wheat, organic oats and organiccorn so far. “It’s mainly the beans wehave left,” she said.

The bottom line: Lee is “just hopingwe do get some rain.”

The Filzens Renville, Minn.

“Corn, soybeans and sugar beets areall in,” Dale Filzen said on May 7.“I’ve got navy beans to plant.”

Outside of a mere sprinkling, he saidhe hasn’t had “any rain to speak of”since planting. That dryness allowed Filzen to

finish planting soybeans on April 30. “I’ve never finished in April,” he said. Filzen plans to plant navy beans next

week if temperatures warm up. “Theydon’t like cool weather,” he said.

As for the corn, Filzen said it’s“starting to come up,” adding that they

“definitely need the rain for a little moreemergence.”

Despite only 4.0 days suitable forfieldwork, Minnesota farmers plantedsoybeans at a near record pace duringthe week ending May 10, according tothe U.S. Department of Agriculture’sNational Agricultural Statistics Ser-vice. Field activities for the weekincluded planting, as well as applyingfertilizer and herbicides.

Recent precipitation helped improvesoil moisture conditions. Topsoil mois-ture supplies were rated one percentvery short, 16 percent short, 81 percent

adequate, and two percent surplus.Subsoil moisture supplies were ratedfour percent very short, 32 percentshort, 64 percent adequate, and zeropercent surplus.

With Minnesota’s corn planting near-ing completion, 39 percent of the corncrop had emerged, the second most in30 years.

Over one-third of the soybeanacreage was planted during the week

Near-record pace for soybeans

See CROP PROGRESS, pg. 3B

The PagelsWinthrop, Minn.

The life of a farmer was all Delayne Pagelever knew. His father and grandfather werefarmers, and he grew up wanting to continuethat legacy. He has done that very thing since1983. Pagel and wife, Kay, raised their threechildren, David, Karl and Trevor, on their farm two and a quartermiles north of Winthrop.

While Pagel farms alone, he has some part-time hired help andsaid he “swaps equipment and labor” with a neighbor, somethinghe’s been doing for the past seven years.

Pagel grows corn, soybeans, wheat and kidney beans.This spring has been dry for much of the region, and the

Winthrop area is no exception. “It’s the first year that tile linesaren’t running yet,” he said.

Dry conditions allowed Pagel to get in the field early, starting toplant wheat on March 10. After dealing with some mechanicalbreakdowns, he was hoping to start on corn by April 15 — a typical

planting date for him. While pleased that the weather has cooperated to get the crop in,

Pagel expressed concerned that he’s “losing a bit of dirt from winderosion.”

He’s hoping to avoid last year’s disaster. In June of 2014, Pagelexperienced a seven-inch rainfall overnight, and “It just kind offlooded everything out,” he said. That resulted in a loss of a quarterof his corn to drown out.

This year with the lack of moisture he’s hopeful that prices mightbegin to rise due to the drought in some areas. Only time will tell.

With planting off and running on the farm, Pagel is busy. “It’sjust a rat race,” he said. “Kind of run around like your head’s cutoff.”

Once the crop is in the ground things will slow a little bit, andthen it will be time for Pagel to add a new title to his name:Grandpa. His first grandchild is expected in July.

New life in the plants sprouting from the ground, and a newgrandchild on the way. Lots to look forward to on the Pagel farm.

The ThorpesCanby, Minn.

Nathan Thorpe has been farming for 22years, and it’s been in his blood from day one.Even through the high school years when “itwasn’t the popular thing to do,” he said, heknew it was what he wanted to do.

“(In) 1994 I purchased my first piece of ground and I was in,”he said.

Thorpe grows corn and soybeans with his brother, Brian, sevenmiles northwest of Canby, Minn. He and his wife, Lisa, have threechildren — Andrew, 13; Levi, 11; and Leah, 4 — and he canalready see the love of farming taking root with Andrew.

“Last fall he started chisel plowing,” he said. Thorpe said that he believes that Andrew’s helping around the

farm is a “great confidence builder for him.”On April 10, Thorpe was hoping to tackle the field work “pretty

hard this week,” figuring he’d start planting by April 13. When planting is done, of course, depends on rain. “If we don’t have moisture,” he sad, “I think we’ll have our crops

in, in a couple weeks.” Even with the lack of winter snow, Thorpe said there should be

enough moisture to get the crop going. As far as predicting how the crop year will go, he said “I don’t

think it’s going to be a highly profitable year,” before quicklyadding, “There’ll be better years.”

For Thorpe, getting out in the planter and putting that seed inthe ground is as gratifying as watching the crops come off in thefall.

“Both are very rewarding,” he said.

The MarblesMapleton, Minn.

Harlan Marble of Mapleton, Minn. hasfigured out the key to longevity in farming.Leave town and head to Arizona from Nov. 1to April 1.

He’s farmed since 1964 so he figures abreak during the harsh Minnesota winter months to give hisarthritis a little dry heat treatment is much deserved.

Marble said he “never left the farm.” This fifth generationfarmer grows corn and soybeans, and finishes 15,000 hogs a yearfor Hormel. Son Allen farms alongside his dad. Raising hogs is inMarble’s DNA.

“When my forefathers came to Minnesota when the territory wassettled, they brought hogs with them,” he said, so his familyknows a thing or two.

Besides working with hogs, Marble also milked cows for 10years when he started farming. “I don’t miss the cows at all,” hesaid, noting that he didn’t have a modern facility so it wasextremely labor intensive.

Marble and wife, Elaine, have enjoyed 53 years of weddedbliss. They first met at the Minnesota State Fair when he was 15and she was 13. It was love at first sight, but she being a St.Paul girl and Marble a rural boy, they had to have a long distance,letter-only relationship for a while.

They married six years later and Elaine fit right in, out in thecountry.

“She couldn’t wait to get down to the farm,” he said. The couple has two daughters, Emily and Pamela, and two

sons, Allen and James.As of April 23, spring had been going well at the Marble place. “We’re half done with the corn,” he said. He predicted they would be done planting corn by April 24 and,

if conditions were right, would be planting beans in another week. “Depends on what Mother Nature gives,” he noted.If you farm for 51 years, you must really like what you’re doing,

and that’s exactly the case for Marble. “I’ve never hated Mondayor looked forward to Friday,” he said.

What does he enjoy the most about farming? “Everything,” he replied. The Kemps

Sibley, IowaWhile Brian Kemp didn’t grow up on a

farm, his father ran the horticulture researchstation for Iowa State University.

“I’ve been around agriculture in some formall my life,” he said. “The first 15 years ofmy career I was a county Extension agent.”

During that time Kemp helped his father-in-law farm on theweekends and holidays. Eventually he took over the farmingoperation three miles southeast of Sibley, Iowa.

“My wife and I operate the farm with seasonal help,” he said.Kemp and his wife, Cindy, have two children: Courtney, who livesin Burbank, Calif.; and Andrea, who lives at home.

Kemp grows soybeans and corn; he started planting his corn onApril 17, nearly a week ahead of most of his neighbors. “It’s beengoing well,” he said.

Planting this year has been “pretty typical,” said Kemp,although “maybe a tad bit later than I want to start.”

After he wraps up the corn he’s hopeful he can move right intobeans. Kemp said he is concerned that with so little snowfall thispast winter, the need for moisture is becoming great.

“Subsoil moisture is short,” he said. That said, he still has a positive outlook for 2015.“You’ve got to be an optimist,” said Kemp. “Even though it’s

dry, it’s better planting conditions than if there’s too muchmoisture.”

Precipitation this growing season will be critical. “We are going to have to have timely rains to produce a crop

this year,” he said.

The HeusinkveldsWykoff, Minn.

On the Heusinkveld farm seven miles southof Wykoff, Minn., cows reign supreme. NateHeusinkveld has a 350-cow dairy and alsogrows corn and alfalfa. The operationincludes his father, Jeff, who has beenfarming since 1973.

“I always liked farming,” said Heusinkveld, who followed in hisfather’s footsteps in 1996. “I knew the opportunity was therewhen I came home.”

Home now includes his wife, Misty, and children Lucas, 12,and Kensie, 9.

“It’s a normal spring for once,” he said. Barley and peas were planted on April 13, which Heusinkveld

said is a little earlier than usual. The four inches of rain that fellthe week before made sure the soil moisture was good, he said.

This fall Heusinkveld will be planting winter rye again. He hadbeen planting winter rye for five or six years but couldn’t last yeardue to late spring planting — which translated into late harvestingin 2014.

On the dairy side, he reported that prices had been down, butdrought in California had begun to move dairy prices up. Howhigh remains to be seen.

With good soil moisture, planters going, and weathercooperating, Heusinkveld is pleased with planting so far.

“I enjoy spring as long as it’s spaced out a bit,” he said.

Small grain seeding was almost complete. Barleywas 78 percent emerged, well ahead of last year whennone of the crop had emerged by this date and justover three weeks ahead of the five-year average. Sev-enty-seven percent of the oat acreage had emerged,just over three weeks ahead of last year. The first oatcondition rating of the year was estimated at zeropercent very poor, one percent poor, 16 percent fair, 70percent good, and 13 percent excellent.

Eighty-two percent of the spring wheat acreagewas emerged, 31 days ahead of the previous year.The first spring wheat condition was rated at zeropercent very poor, one percent fair, 38 percent fair, 51percent good, and 10 percent excellent.

payoutsIn 2014 revenue protection crop insurance prices

were projected at $4.62; however the harvest price ofcorn was $3.49 for this insurance policy. That meantlarge losses assumed by some states; Minnesota hadthe largest loss ratio at 3.01, according to the Univer-sity of Illinois.

This means that for every dol-lar of insurance premium paid inMinnesota there was 3.01 timesthat amount paid to the farmerfor losses caused by lower pricesor yields. The report goes on toshow that Iowa, too, had high lossratios at 2.21 for corn insurancepolicies.

Many states such as Illinois,Indiana and Ohio had record ornear-record yields resulting in lit-tle no losses on insurance poli-cies. In general, nationwide pay-outs on soybeans were 0.54, sothe payments made to farmers was about half of thetotal premium. Corn loss ratios on 69.9 million acresinsured were 1.04 nationwide which is essentiallythe goal, to keep loss ratios at the premium amount.The accompanying table shows how the revenueinsurance loss ratios were paid out by state.

After taking a look at the chart it’s evident thatcrop insurance continues to play an important role infarm safety nets. With volatility in prices, and unpre-dictable weather resulting in variable yields, cropinsurance will continue to be at the foundation offarmers’ risk management plans.

Given its important role, it is likely that attemptsto make changes to the Federal crop insurance pro-gram will continue. Be sure to contact your electedofficials and share your story about the importance of

Livestock AnglesGrills fire up,

sales riseThe month of May has brought an increased move-

ment in product for both beef and pork. Not only isgrilling season moving into full swing but the bird flu isreducing the poultry population at the same time. Therehas been a distinct increase in retail interest in accumu-lating inventory of pork and beef,but whether this improved interestholds is yet to be determined.

The cattle market has seen basi-cally the cash price paid for cattleremain fairly constant, while thebeef cutout has slipped slightlyover the past few weeks. It appearsthe main reason for the slightdecline in the beef cutout is the factthat the inventory over the pastfew months of beef in storage hasgrown and packers want to movethis excess inventory.

All of this, with continued tightsupplies of live cattle, has kept the live price paid for ani-mals steady with a firm undertone. On the other hand,the futures market is anticipating that the cattle marketwill remain on a slow descent in price into the summerand fall months. This continues to leave the disparity offutures well-discounted to the cash price paid for cattle.

The caveat still remains the large disparity betweenthe pork cutout and the beef cutout, which makes thepork a much better value than beef at the wholesaleand retail level. Obviously this is dependent on the con-sumer in the final sale. Therefore, the producer shouldcontinue to monitor market conditions and remain cog-nizant that discount in the futures are there for a rea-son, and protect inventories as warranted.

It finally appears that the hog market has estab-lished its typical spring low with the continuation ofthe recent rallies. While interest in pork remains

Minnesota was 83 percent com-plete versus 34 percent average.Planting progress is forecast to hit75-85 percent complete as of May10 versus the five-year average for that date of just 58percent complete. Corn emergence as of May 3 wasonly nine percent, three percent behind the average.

Basis levels were firm with grower selling extremelytight and export sales at the high end of expectations.Ethanol plants were pushing for May deliveries fromcommercials to be brought in while lines were shortand producer direct deliveries were light.

The Commitment of Traders report as of May 5 indi-cated that directional traders, to include managedmoney and large reportable traders, increased theirnet short position in corn over the previous week from29,000 contracts to net short 60,000 contracts.

NYSTROM, from pg. 4Bcommitments are 1.62 billionbushels, quickly approachingthe 1.8 billion bushels the U.S. Department of Agricul-ture is forecasting for this marketing year. We need14.1 million bushels per week to hit the projection.Last year we averaged 9.4 million bushels of exportsales from now until the end of the marketing year.

Weekly ethanol production dropped 34,000 barrelsper day to 887,000 barrels per day and stocks fell35,000 barrels to 20.76 million barrels. Production isrunning five percent ahead of last year, but is thelowest since October. China’s National Grain andOils Information Center is predicting a record 2015corn crop of 232 million metric tons. The USDA isforecasting China’s 2014 corn crop at 216 mmt.

The three-day hard red wheat tour took place thispast week. The Kansas wheat crop was estimated at35.9 bushels per acre compared to the five-year aver-age of 40.3 bu./acre. Their production forecast is288.5 million bushels versus the five-year average of331.6 million bushels.

OUTLOOK: The monthly USDA crop report will bereleased May 12 and we will get our first look at the2015-16 balance sheets. The average 2014-15 endingstocks projection is 1.864 billion bushels, up from1.827 billion on the balance sheet in April. The aver-age estimate for the 2015-16 crop year ending stocksis 1.752 billion bushels. The 2015-16 yield forecast atthe Outlook Conference in February was 166.8bu./acre. Many traders are not looking for a yieldincrease on this month’s initial report, although his-tory would suggest otherwise. Predictions are for

South American production to increase by 1mmt to 25 mmt and Brazil’s increase to 76.9

mmt from 75.0 mmt in April.The next level of support in the July contract is

$3.55 3⁄4 per bushel with resistance near $3.69 1⁄2per bushel; support lies at $3.72 1⁄4 in the Decembercontract and resistance at $3.85 per bushel. Weatherfactors, the USDA crop report, and money flow willhelp determine if enough premium has been takenout of the market for now. Unless the trade believesthe crop is being threatened, it may be difficult tosupport a significant rally.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans got off to a robust startthis week with prices climbing to mid-week beforecutting gains. For the week, July soybeans were up11 1⁄2 cents at $9.76 1⁄4 and November soybeanswere 11 1⁄4 cents higher at $9.52 per bushel.

The early rally saw heavy farmer selling in SouthAmerica, but very little in the United States asplanting progressed. Soybean loadings in Brazil areon pace for record loadings in May. Of the 2 mmtalready shipped this month from Brazil, 1.6 mmtwere bound for China. China’s October to April soy-bean imports were 39.6 mmt compared to last year’s39.5 mmt. The USDA is forecasting China’s soybeanimports to increase 5.1 percent year on year. If ship-ments from Brazil continue to be heavy, China’sMay-June imports may be at record levels. The possi-bility of a dockworkers and boat captain strike inArgentina lent underlying support to the soybeans,but as of this writing any vote has been postponeduntil May 14. Only a few processors in southernRosario have been affected. Soybean basis levels

were mostly steady for nearby delivery.Soybean planting was 13 percent complete as of

May 3 versus the average of nine percent complete.Minnesota was 32 percent complete versus sevenpercent on average. Planting as of May 10 is antici-pated to be wildly ahead of the average at between30-40 percent complete compared to the five-yearaverage of 20 percent complete.

Weekly export sales for old crop were at the highend of expectations at 12.5 million bushels. Totalsoybean exports sales now total 1.815 billionbushels, above the USDA estimate of 1.79 billionbushels of exports. Last year, 50 million bushels ofsales were rolled into new crop.

The April National Oilseed Processors Associationcrush report will be released May 15. This may giveus a hint of how the bird flu has affected mealdemand. May 7 was the first day since April 15 thatno new cases of bird flu were reported. The totalnumber of birds affected is 25.7 million. An earlyestimate for the crush report is 147-148 millionbushels versus last year’s 132.7 million bushels.

OUTLOOK: The average trade estimate for theMay 12 USDA crop report for 2014-15 ending stocksis 360 million bushels, down 10 million bushels fromthe April report. The first 2015-16 balance sheets areexpected to show ending stocks of 443 millionbushels. For South America, the average estimate forBrazil’s crop is 94.4 mmt and 58.5 mmt forArgentina, compared to 94.5 and 57.0 mmt respec-tively last month. Conab will also update its Brazil-ian production number on May 12. The United Statesis off to a zippy start on soybeans. The weather, theUSDA and Conab numbers, as well as the upcomingNOPA crush report, will be heavy influences on pricedirection. Short-term support in the July contract is$9.61 1⁄2 with resistance at $9.95 per bushel. TheNovember contract’s first short term support is $9.373⁄4 with resistance at $9.67 1⁄2 per bushel.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the weekending May 8: Minneapolis wheat rallied 6 1⁄2 cents,Chicago was 7 1⁄2 cents higher and Kansas Citygained eight cents per bushel. June crude oil was up24 cents at $59.39 per barrel,ultra-low-sulfur dieselfell nearly three cents and reformulated blendstockfor oxygenate blending dropped over 3 1/2 cents. ❖

TEALE, from pg. 4Bvery good, which has helped with improved cashprices, the inventory of market-ready hogs hasdecreased in the past month. This has sparked thecurrent rally in both the futures and the cash mar-kets to levels not seen for several months.

With the futures well out ahead of the cash priceand a daily technical reversal on May 1, the hog mar-ket may have hit a plateau for a moment, which

could take some of the premium out of the futuresprices. As long as demand remains firm and hognumbers do not increase substantially, the hog mar-ket could likely remain relatively firm into the sum-mer months. The futures market could become a lit-tle more erratic until the premium to cash hasnarrowed into the May contract expiration. Thiswould suggest that producers stay very aware ofmarket signals and protect inventories as needed. ❖

As part of the 2014 farmbill, the U.S. Department ofAgriculture was designatedto review and revise the“actively engaged” in farm-ing rules that determineindividuals that are eligibleto receive government farmprogram payments. Thecurrent actively engagedrequirements have been inplace for nearly threedecades.

In late March, USDAannounced some pro-posed revisions to therules that are designedto further clarify some of the defini-tions and rules surrounding therequirement for “management” in afarm operation. This could potentiallyrestrict certain individuals that cur-rently qualify for farm program pay-ments from having future farm pro-gram payment eligibility beginningwith the 2016 crop year.

The current regulation for farm pro-gram payment eligibility states that aperson may qualify for federal farmprogram payments if they are“actively engaged in farming,” whichmeans that the individual meets thefollowing criteria:

• Individual made a significant con-tribution of capital, equipment, orland;

• Individual provides personal laboror active personal management to thefarm operation.

In the past, the definition of man-agement under the current require-ments has been interpreted quitebroadly by the USDA, which hasallowed a large number of extra indi-viduals to qualify for farm programpayments. The controversy since thebeginning of the current activelyengaged requirement, which still con-tinues with the current farm bill, hasbeen that passive investors in farmoperations that invest in land or capi-tal have been able to qualify for farmprogram payments, due to claims ofproviding regular management to afarm operation.

By using this definition of the rule,farms that are organized as generalpartnerships or joint ventures havebeen able to increase total governmentpayments to a farm entity by havingmore than one individual in the entityqualified for farm program payments.Some of these entities have 10 or moreindividuals that qualify for farm pro-gram payments.

There are many legitimategeneral farm partnershipsand joint ventures, wheremultiple individuals deserveto qualify for farm programpayments, and USDA doesnot intend to affect thesetypes of operations by anyproposed changes to theactively engaged rules. Thisincludes husbands andwives, father and sons,brothers, other family mem-

bers and other legitimatefarming partners thatmeet the requirements.However, the U.S. Gov-

ernment Accountability Office filed arecent report that showed severalexamples of situations where the cur-rent regulations have been used toexpand farm program payment eligibil-ity well beyond theoriginal intent ofthe activelyengaged rule.

The GAO reportfound that generalpartnerships wereresponsible forapproximately 27percent of the totalfarm operationsthat received farmprogram paymentsin 2012, but thatthe individuals inthese general partnerships receivednearly half of the total payments. TheGAO report also showed that 27 per-cent of the individuals in general part-nerships qualified for farm programpayment eligibility on the basis ofmanagement alone, and only 3 percentqualified on the basis of only laboralone. The balance qualified on thebasis of some combination of manage-ment and labor.

The focus of the proposed changes isfor those individuals that qualifiedunder the management only criteria.The revisions in the actively engagedrules being proposed by the USDAwould add more eligibility require-ments for a farm entity wishing tohave multiple individuals qualify forfarm program payments. The new rulesare not intended to apply to farmingoperations that are comprised entirelyof spouses and other family members,or for legitimate partnerships whereboth partners are actively farming. Theproposed rules also would not affectprogram payment eligibility forlandowners that rent their farm landto a farm operator through a sharerental agreement. There are also no

proposed changes to current rules forcontributions of land, capital, equip-ment, or labor.

The primary focus of the activelyengaged revisions is defining contribu-tions to management of a farm opera-tion where multiple individuals desirefarm program payment eligibility. Thisdefinition is intended to apply to non-family members of a farm businessthat are using management, ratherthan labor, as their qualifying criteriafor farm program payment eligibility.

The proposed rule defines “active per-sonal management” as “those itemscritical to the profitability of the farm-ing operation.” It would divide the man-agement activities into separate cate-gories for farm capital, labor, andagronomics, and marketing. To qualify,a person must perform these manage-

ment duties on aregular and consis-tent basis, which isdefined as either25 percent of totalmanagement hoursrequired by thefarm operation, orat least 500 hoursof managementannually. Theserequirements arenot intended toapply to the first,or primary, farm

manager in a farming operation.Following are the new definitions for

the management activities listed underactive personal management:

• Capital, land and safety-net pro-grams — responsible to arrange financ-ing, manage capital, acquire equip-ment, negotiate land purchases andleases, and manage crop insurance orUSDA farm program decisions.

• Labor — Hire and manage farmlabor.

• Agronomics and marketing —Decide which crops to plant, purchasecrop inputs, manage growing crops, andmarket crops in cash or futures mar-kets.

The USDA also clarified that passivefarm management activities, such asattendance at board meetings, confer-ence calls or simply watching commod-ity or input markets, would not qualifyas providing significant managementto the farm.

Under the revised rules, no farmentity could have more than three per-sons qualify for farm program pay-ments as managers of the farm opera-

tion. If the farm entity seeks to qualifymore than one person as a managerthan each additional person would berequired to keep a record or log of theiradditional management activities,which would be required to be submit-ted to the Farm Service Agency office.Qualifying additional managers wouldnot be automatic, and would need to beapproved by the FSA.

A farm entity could qualify for oneextra person for farm program eligibil-ity through the management definitionbased on the size of the farming opera-tion. A crop farm of at least 2,500 acreswould meet this requirement, which isbased on farm management data show-ing that a full-time farm manager(2,040 hours per year) is capable ofmanaging 2,527 crop acres. The USDAwould allow for a variation in thisrequirement of up to 15 percent, or 375acres, depending on unique circum-stances in the farming operation. Asheep operation with more than 3,500ewes, or a honey bee operation withover 10,000 hives, would also qualify asa large farming operation. There areseparate farm program payments forboth wool and honey that fall underfarm program payment eligibilityrules.

A farm entity could also meet the cri-teria for one additional person to qual-ify for farm program eligibility as afarm manager, based on the complexityof the farming operation, which is a bitmore complicated. The complexity ofthe operation refers to multiple cropsbeing produced, other non-programfarming entities (livestock, canningcrops, etc.), and non-traditional mar-keting channels (export, organic, etc.).Evaluating the complexity of a farmingoperation is much more subjective thandetermining the size of a farm andwould require FSA review andapproval.

The proposed changes to activelyengaged rules would apply only to gen-eral partnerships and joint ventures,since these are the only type of farmentities that currently allow multipleindividuals to receive farm programpayments. Corporations or limited lia-bility corporations are currently noteligible for more than one paymentlimit, and this would not change underthe revised regulations. The farm pro-gram payment limit under the currentfarm bill is $125,000 per individual forpayments from all types of farm pro-grams. So, in a general farm partner-ship or joint venture that paymentlimit would increase to $250,000 for

APPLES, from pg. 1A“Once I sell the feeders I feed what ever

is left to the bred cows,” he said. “They eatthem out of my hands or out of the feederor however they can get them from me.They come running up to me to get theirapples and even the wild ones get tamerwith an apple. They all get them eitherchopped or sliced. You can’t risk one ofthem choking on a whole apple.”

Gilbertson invented a machine toslice whole apples. It operates on a onehorsepower electric motor and consistsof a chute leading to 18 table sawblades mounted on a shaft. Once theblades are spinning he dumps bucketsof apples into the machine and theslices fall into a bin. He can feed the

sliced apples directly, or sun and air-dry them before putting them in largeapple storage coolers for later use.

“I used to finish steers on the apple-hay ration but with the price of feedersI’d rather sell them,” he said. “They fin-ish out nice on the apples but carryingthem over for the extra year or moredoesn’t make sense.”Low capital

Gilbertson likes his location for rais-ing and marketing beef cattle. He iscentrally located between sales barnsin Motley, Pierz and Long Prairie.

“If I have a cow I need to cull I can takeher a few miles to Long Prairie Packingand get a good price for her,” he said.

Gilbertson also likes his low-capital,

low-rust style of farming. His rust pre-vention program involves not owningtillage equipment or grain plantingand harvesting equipment.

“All we have is equipment for hayingand a no-till drill,” he said. “With the no-till drill we don’t have to plow. Normally,I seed a pasture mix that has orchardgrass, timothy, brome, alfalfa and clover.I rotate the cows over our 200-acre farmfrom field to field and we also cut hay offthe fields. Every year we leave one fieldof 10 to 20 acres fallow and let it grow.At the end of the season I’ll put the cat-

tle on that. They don’t really care for itthat much, but it gives the soil extraorganic matter on top and in the roots.”

In the dozen years Gilbertson hasbeen on the farm all of the fields havebeen converted to hay and grass.

“I left the city and a job in comput-ers when I was 40,” he said. “I reallydidn’t know much about plowing ormanaging grain crops but haying isn’tthat hard. Besides, I didn’t want to tieup a lot of money in equipment and beequipment poor. This is a good way forthe average person to get into farmingwithout debt. Go out and buy someland and fund your own growth.”

Gilbertson fully expects the price forfeeders to drop in the not too distantfuture. When it does he’ll go back tofinishing steers on apples.

“I’ll get my premium by sellinggrass-fed and apple-finished beefdirectly to consumers,” he said. “Theyfatten and marble with apples reallynicely. They just go wild for apples.” ❖

The proposed USDA changes in theactively engaged ruleswould be implementedunder the current farmbill for the 2016-2018crop years, but would not affect farmprogram payments for the 2014 or2015 crop years. It has been estimatedthe proposed rule changes would affectapproximately 1,400 farm operationsin the United States, possibly resultingin a reduction of farm program pay-ments by as much as an estimated $50million over the three year period.However, since farm program pay-ments from both the new price losscoverage and agriculture risk coverageprograms are based on commoditymarket prices, actual federal dollarsavings may vary.

The proposed USDA changes to theactively engaged rules are currentlyunder a 60-day review period for publiccomment, which is scheduled to end onMay 26, unless the comment time isextended. The USDA also wants inputon their revised definition of “activepersonal management” of a farm oper-ation, and whether or not this is goodcriteria to utilize for farm programpayment eligibility. They are also won-dering if there should be additional cri-

teria or practices applied toward deter-mining farm program payment eligibil-ity, or if there are some activities notlisted that are unique to certain farm-ing enterprises. Even though, the

USDA has specificallystated that the pro-posed actively engaged

rule changes do not apply to familymembers in general partnerships andjoint ventures, they did not excludethis provision from being part of thecomment process.

Following the 60-day commentperiod, the USDA would be free toimplement the proposed changes inrequirements for future farm programpayment eligibility, beginning with the2016 crop year. If these proposedchanges become too controversial, or ifsome leaders in Congress get involved,the comment period could possibly beextended. These proposed rule changeswill likely be welcomed by some as pos-itive changes in farm program pay-ment eligibility, but will likely not beaccepted as well by the farm opera-tions that are directly affected, or bygroups that would like to see activelyengaged criteria be made even stricter.
