The author’sson, Colin King

If cotton is the fabric of our lives, thenwool is the heritage of our lives. Irishsweaters, red-and-black plaid lumberjackshirts, Army blankets, Navy pea coats,kilts and Nordic sweaters. Chances are ifyou’re male, you were married in a woolsuit or tuxedo. Many a wool suit hangs inthe back of men’s closets awaiting wed-dings and funerals.

Before synthetic polar fleece took holdin the 1990s, it was wool mittens, socks,hats and scarves that kept us warm anddry in our Midwest winters. Those tat-tered relics hold the memories of snowdays, outdoor skating rinks, pondhockey, school bus stops, snowmen andsledding. I can taste the hotcocoa now.

The Land has dedicated thisissue to the world’s oldestorganized industry — sheepproduction. Sheep weredomesticated 10,000 years agoin Central Asia, but it wasn’tuntil 3,500 B.C. that manlearned to spin wool, postedSusan Shoeian, sheep andgoat specialist at the Univer-sity of Maryland WesternMaryland Research andExtension Center.

Shoeian created the Sheep101 website for 4-H and FFAmembers, beginning shepherds and the general pub-lic. For many families, raising sheep is a way tointroduce their children to livestock and instillresponsibility.

But did you know that we owe it to sheep for mak-ing the spread of civilization possible? Wool was thefirst commodity of sufficient value for internationaltrade, according to Sheep 101.

By biblical times, sheep production was well-estab-lished as evidenced in references in both the Old andNew Testaments. Shepherds, informed by angels,were the first visitors of Baby Jesus. Unlike theThree Kings, the lowly shepherds were punctual.

Sheep even played a role in the discovery of thenew world. Queen Isabella of Spain financed Christo-pher Columbus with money from the wool industryand his ships were loaded with sheep as a walkingfood supply, posted Sheep 101.

According to Harvest Public Media,sheep production has declined sharply inthe last 20 years in the United States,with a domestic sheep herd that is one-tenth of the size it was during World WarII.

Still shepherds persevere. There were88,338 sheep farms in the United Statesas reported in the 2012 Census of Agricul-ture. Sheep 101 pointed out that smallproducers owning less than 100 sheepcomprise the majority of sheep operations,

but own only 17 percent of the sheep.While Minnesota isn’t in the top 10

sheep-producing states, it does have itsshare of sheep ranchers.Philip Berg, of Pipestone,Minn., breeds purebred sheepwhich he sells to commercialproducers. Berg is also a lamband wool instructor for thePipestone Lamb and Wool Pro-gram at Minnesota West Com-munity and Technical College,Pipestone.

The Pipestone Lamb andWool program started in 1972as a pilot program called thePipestone Sheep Project toboost sheep production in thearea. The program offerssheep production courses andworks with 60 to 70 producers

to deliver on-farm education and workshops. Lambmeat is the economic driver of the industry due toreasonable feed prices combined with the demand forprotein foods, said Berg.

“There’s a lot of opportunity in the area of sheepproduction for people interested and willing to pur-sue it as an enterprise,” he said.

Meanwhile wool and fiber is enjoying cottageindustry status, said Berg.

This winter, you can cuddle up in a soft wool blan-ket and learn to be a shepherd online. The PipestoneLamb and Wool Program of Minnesota West Commu-nity and Technical College offers online classes forsheep enthusiasts and producers. The most popularclass is Introduction to Sheep Management, whichprovides an overview of yearlong sheep manage-

In a series of toughly-worded articles published inChoices, the quarterly journalof the Agricultural & AppliedEconomics Association, nearlyevery major element of the2014 farm bill — from itsexpanded crop insurance pro-gram to its impact on globaltrade negotiations — comesunder fire as either “perverse,”“false,” “vacuous,” “absurd,”“failing,” or “wasteful.”

The seven articles, over-seen by Vincent H. Smith,a professor of ag economicsat Montana State Univer-sity, are a “careful, thoughtful examina-tion of the economics behind the 2014law,” explained Smith in a telephoneinterview Oct. 21. “Too often there hasbeen a serious lack of critical attentiongiven to farm bills by the ag economicscommunity.”

Not anymore.Smith and 10 other Land

Grant ag economists —most of who are AAEA “Dis-

tinguished Fellows” —take a hard, unob-structed look at the $100-

billion-per-year 2014 law and comeaway deeply unimpressed. (A link to allis posted http://farmandfoodfile.com/in-the-news/.) A quick sample shows justhow unimpressed.

• On the overall “potential economicbenefits and costs” of the law, Smith

and Barry Goodwin, a professor of agand resource economics at North Car-olina State University, write that the“standard pro-farm policy rhetoric ...typically claims that subsidies areneeded to save small family farms” andare “important rural developmentmechanisms.”

Facts show, however, that “the con-ventional wisdom is based on a para-digm that is, at best, a relic of historyand the assertions that are often putforward to argue for billions of dollarsin taxpayer subsidies are false inalmost every case.”

• In his explanation of the near-cen-tury old “resiliency of farm programs,”Iowa State’s Bruce Babcock, a pioneer ofthe 2014 law’s key element, crop insur-ance, writes, “The disconnect between alack of actual economic rationale forfarm subsidies and their continued exis-tence demonstrates that farm programsexist not because of a need to enhancesocial welfare but rather to meet thepolitical objective of members of Con-gress to care for a constituency thatlends them political cover.”

• That political back-scratching,explains Brian Davern Wright, an ageconomist from the University of Cali-fornia, delivered a 2014 law even morereliant on “crop insurance and disasterprograms (that) are themselves disas-trous” because each “reduces the incen-tive for farmers to manage farm risksand environmental problems” while it“increases their wealth, which farexceeds the average wealth of non-farmfamilies and continues to rise.”

• The story is equally upside downwhen looking at the international food

aid provisions of the 2014 law, claimErin Lentz of the University of Texasand Christopher Barrett of Cornell. Ifjust one restriction of the food aid for-mula, the requirement that 50 percentof all U.S. food aid be sent abroad onAmerican-flagged ships — which “onlyaffect(s) six to 11 mainly outdated ves-sels” — was removed, “4-10 millionacutely malnourished people … wouldreceive food aid…”

Or, “In other words, roughly 10,000additional hungry people are notbeing fed for each domestic shippingjob protected” in the bill.

• Moreover, the global trade implica-tions of the law, writes Colin Carter,an ag economist at UC-Davis, are inclear conflict with what farmersrepeatedly claim they want, free trade.

“The 2014 farm bill … may well costthe United States any credibility infuture agricultural trade negotiationsin the Doha Round. Perhaps evenmore importantly, the (law) has under-mined U.S. credibility in regionaltrade negotiations…” such as the now-bogged down trans-Pacific trade talks.

Two other articles dive into the farmbill’s impact on ag research and “U.S.Agri-Environmental Policy.” Both areequally blunt and equally unimpressedby the long-in-the-making, short-in-reality policies the law dictates.

Smith, who describes himself as “farmore liberal” than the right-leaningAmerican Enterprise Institute, theWashington, D.C. think tank where heserves as a “Visiting Scholar,” says “theempirical evidence that underpins theentire series of articles is rock solid.”

So will be the lumps of limestone,granite and coal thrown at him andhis ag econ colleagues by all the bene-ficiaries of the 2014 farm bill.

Every now and then humor takes aholiday, and the realities of life settle in.

While it’s not an unusual occurrence,sometimes the teachers of those realitiesare what take us by surprise. It’s beensaid that, while we try to teach our chil-dren all about life, our children teach uswhat life is all about.

Our son learned such a lesson not longago.

He had just returned home from a dayof corn chopping. When he came throughthe doorway of our home, I asked him howit went. He sighed, sat down and said quite factually,“It was an emotionally tough day.”

He had been hauling with a truck, and the cornbelonged to the friend of a friend, who had died ear-lier that week. A few friends had gathered together

to harvest his corn silage on the day afterhe was buried. Others there knew theman who had died; our son did not — butfelt good about helping with such animportant harvest.

Awhile into it, he saw a young girl (about10 years old) in the yard. She approachedhis truck and asked if she could ride withhim. Happy to have company, he invitedher in.

Turns out, she was the oldest child ofthe man whose corn he was helping toharvest.

She told him her name, and followed that a littlelater with, “My dad died on Monday.”

Our son found himself face to face with a younggirl who had experienced so much in her short timeon earth, understood the brevity of this life, and who

had to find a way towork through herfather’s illness anddeath. And possibly,find someone to talkto about it.

She chose our son.He discovered

there were threeyounger siblings,whom he learnedabout during thecourse of their timetogether. He alsolearned about some wonderful things the father didfor her and their family before he had to leave thembehind. Among them, she was especially proud thathe built the children a chicken house for their poul-try projects, and he bought her a calf to show at thefair.

Our son loves cows and calves and could relate tohow special that calf must be to her.

As they visited, she said, “God must have reallyliked my dad to take him so early.”

Our son said he was trying to think of somethingcomforting to say, but most of all, was trying to holdhis own emotions together for the sake of the younggirl, who had been dealing with her own emotionsabout this for as long as she had known about herfather’s illness. She was doing well, it seemed. Shewas leading that conversation.

I wiped away quiet tears of my own as he wastelling me this amazing story of a young girl whoreached out to a total stranger and introduced him toher father in the only way she could do that now. Andwhat a job she did. It gave his job there even morespecial meaning.

I thought of all the amazing people she must have inher life helping her through something that is so diffi-cult even for adults to understand. Of all of the man’schildren, she would remember him the most. Ithought about the tremendous gift that will be for her.

For one day, farmers banded together with equip-ment and manpower to harvest a silage crop for afriend. They may not say it, but farmers all know thebrotherhood they share, strangers or not. They don’teven have to say it. And in someone’s hour of need,they’re there — even if only to be a sounding board,giving a child a chance to let someone get to knowher dad.

Perhaps that was the most important job of all thatday.

TABLE TALK

By Karen Schwaller

Of all the man’schildren, shewould rememberhim the most. Ithought aboutwhat a tremen-dous gift thatwould be to her.

www.TheLandOnline.comtwitter.com/thelandonlinefacebook.com/thelandonline

You could just cry.Nothing’s going right. You’re frus-

trated, out of patience, options, andenergy. The camel’s back is broken.You’re about done.

Yeah, you’d sit down and cry, exceptit won’t help anything. Besides, youknow it could be worse so maybe, asin the new novel by Lorna Landvik,it’s just “Best to Laugh.”

Candy Pekkala was mortified.Not long after her father died, she

pulled a half-hearted, stupid stuntand now she needed a fresh start, faraway from Minnesota and embar-rassment. As it turned out, hercousin needed someone to sublet a Hollywood apart-ment. The timing was perfect — and so were theaccommodations.

Just off the Sunset Strip, near the Hollywood Walkof Fame, Peyton Hall was a rental complex filledwith people Candy quickly got to know.

There was Maeve, a rather plain-looking femalebodybuilder whose mother was a beautiful soap star;Ed, part-time teacher and full-time serial dater;Madame Pepper, a Romanian fortune teller whoseemed to know all the stars’ secrets; and FrancisFlover, a dapper former nightclub owner who lovedsharing his memories of Old Hollywood.

Yes, Peyton Hall was the right place to be in thelate 1970s, and its residents were the right people tomeet — especially for a girl trying out a dream thatbegan almost when she was born: Candy’s mother, a

Korean War bride, was a funnywoman who passed her sense ofhumor on to her daughter. JongOh died when Candy was small,but memories of her mom’sfavorite advice — “Best tolaugh!”— gave Candy strengthto pursue her goal of being astand-up comic.

Still, it wasn’t easy. Shewrote and re-wrote her jokes,accepted advice and practiced,quit, then returned to L.A.’ssmallest stages. She alternately bombed and thenkilled on-stage with the support of her temp-job co-workers, her long-distance grandma, and the newfriends she was beginning to think of as family.

It was a time for Candy that was increasingly

sweet — until something hap-pened at Peyton Hall that wasno laughing matter.

Even though I’m a fan fromway back, I have to admit thatthis new kinda-sorta-semi-autobiographical novel byauthor Lorna Landvik ini-tially didn’t impress me much.

There’s a lot going on at thebeginning of “Best to Laugh”and too many charactersthrown in a mix. To say that Iwas lost is an understate-ment.

Happily, even though theplot extended and even more char-acters showed up, it all started tomake sense after a (short) while,becoming the kind of book Landvikreaders love.

We get the wonderfully nice Mid-western girl we crave in these kindsof books, a host of quirky folks whoare also fun to know, a dream in themaking, and an ending that mightfind you reaching for tissues.

“Best” indeed.I’ve no doubt that you’ll want to

mention this to your book club when you’re donereading it. You’ll want to pass it to friends becausethey like books like this, too, and “Best to Laugh” isbest to read. ❖

More than 30 years ago — in 1980 to beexact — I innocently volunteered to my edi-tor, now long departed, that I’d be willing towrite a column relating to the outdoors forThe Free Press in Mankato, Minn.

Thirty-four years later, that’s a whole lot ofwater having flowed beneath the bridge.

In those days, lead shot still was legal forwaterfowling, not a single wild turkey calledthe Minnesota River Valley home, andmeaningful conservation programs like theConservation Reserve and Reinvest in Min-nesota were little more than wishful thinking.

More than three decades later, steel shot isthe law of the land for waterfowling, and bynow, most of us have even stopped whining about it.

There probably are more wild turkeys to be foundnowadays in the river valley than there are pheas-ants in all of Blue Earth, Le Sueur and Nicolletcounties combined.

While the best days of CRP seem to be behind us,the RIM program, along with several others such asthe Wetland Reserve, are still chugging along. Anadded bonus, the Legacy Fund now exists to ensurethe preservation of clean water, wildlife habitat andoutdoor recreational opportunities.

What began as a bi-weekly column quicklybecame a weekly piece since there seemed to be somany stories out there to be told. Conservatively, I’dguess that since 1980, I have written some 1,700columns for this space.

It is only an estimate, however, since I have neversaved any of them, figuring that each column just

might be my last. Now, so many years later, I regretnot having taken the time to clip them and slip theminto a folder.

I’d like to think that some of them were very good.Some, I am quite sure, I now would be embarrassedto claim. But the beauty of a daily newspaper hasalways been that there is a next edition, an opportu-nity for improvement.

Most of the time, I was preaching to a choir of folkswho shared my enthusiasm for the outdoors. It waseasy to connect with those kindred spirits. Huntersand anglers generally are an affable lot, easy toplease.

But perhaps more rewarding were those times Iheard from readers who had little or no interest inwild things wearing fur, feathers or fins, but stillfound what I had written something entertaining,enlightening or interesting.

I was privileged to have frequent opportunities tointerview fish and wildlife professionals from thevarious agencies and organizations who, to a person,were dedicated and passionate about their work.

Some people might assume that as the outdoor guyat The Free Press, I was living the dream, havingonly to hunt and fish all week, then write about theexperience for the Sunday paper.

Oh, if only that were so.

Metro papers might employ full-time outdoorscribes whose sole jobs are to regale readers withtheir exploits, frequently in some far-off place. My

real job at The Free Press was and continues tobe as a photographer. The outdoor beat alwayshas been a labor of love sandwiched betweenother duties.

With a few notable exceptions and occasionalmileage reimbursements, my outdoor pursuits— licenses, gear, lodging and more — all havebeen on my time, my dime.

But all things eventually come to an end.Today marks the last time I will be featured inthis space.

My passion still remains for the outdoors, foropening days, of following a favorite bird doginto a familiar pheasant haunt, of listening tothe calls of a passing flock of honkers, the foot-

falls of a whitetail’s hooves in the frosty grass.

But I no longer will need to break away fromfriends and family on those special days at noon toproduce 20 inches of copy for the next day’s outdoorpage. Nor will I miss those occasional sleeplessnights when I pondered just exactly where the nextweek’s story might come from.

And the evolving newspaper landscape in recentyears has made it increasingly difficult to devote thetime and effort to this beat that it really deserves.

But for as much as the newspaper business haschanged since I first walked through the doors of TheFree Press, it is still about telling stories.

It’s been a privilege to bring those stories of theoutdoors to readers for the past 34 years, but now I’dlike to reclaim a few of those special days on thewater, in the duck blind, the turkey woods, onceagain as my own.

So don’t look for me in The Free Press.

Let’s meet out there — on the water or in thewoods — instead.

THE OUTDOORS

By John Cross

Like more than 400,000 others, I am anxiouslyawaiting Saturday, Nov. 8, when Minnesota’sfirearms deer hunting season begins.

There’s nothing like it. The days of advance scout-ing. The physical struggle of putting up the newstands. The straining for vision and sound in the pre-dawn light of opening day. Anticipation is in fullswing for weeks, and then it is upon us.

As I prepare for this year’s hunt, I am fully awarethat I, like many other hunters, am less likely to baga deer than in recent years. In fact, the lowest deerharvest in decades is expected under a harvest plandesigned to rebuild the herd. We are conserving deer— does in particular — this season to improve deer

numbers in the future.

Overall, most hunters in the state will be able toharvest only one deer. In much of northeastern Min-nesota, where two consecutive severe winters took atoll on deer, hunters will only be able to shoot bucks.For me, someone who loves to eat venison, it will betough to let a big doe go by. But the deer herd canrebound quickly, and passing on the doe this yearwill contribute to a much larger herd next year.

By KRISTIN KVENOThe Land CorrespondentThe ThronsonsGary, Minn.

The soybeans aredone for Jared Thron-son. The Land spokewith him Oct. 13 ashe reflected on howthis year’s bean har-vest went.

“Didn’t have too much trouble orbreakdowns,” he said.

Thronson called the crop “average”and is happy that he was able to get itharvested so quickly, thanks to cooper-ation from Mother Nature. He finishedup on Oct. 9.

Thronson has been working ontillage and ditching since then. “Dad’sbeen chisel plowing,” he said, while hehimself has a “few days left of ditch-ing.” He also said he plans to “spreadsome fertilizer where I’m going toplant wheat next year.”

Thronson said the corn crop is “com-ing along,” believing that harvest is“two weeks away still.” The crop itselfis “looking pretty good still.”

With “pretty nice drying weather”forecasted, Thronson is hopeful thecorn can dry out quickly. He has 160acres of corn.

“Fields are all dry everywhere,” hesaid.

“Pretty much all of it will be going inthe bin,” he said. “I didn’t sell any rightoff the field.”

He’ll start hauling corn in December.With weather and equipment cooper-

ating, the 2014 harvest to date hasbeen a good one.

“The best part is getting everythingdone,” he said.

Just 160 acres to the finish line andThronson can see the end in sight.

The WiltsesHerman, Minn.

Dennis Wilts wasgrateful to have theweather cooperate forhis soybean andsugar beat harvest.

“Perfect fallweather,” he said.

You can’t ask for much more when itcomes to good harvest conditions. Wilts

spoke about his harvest with The Landon Oct. 15.

The sugar beet harvest was “verygood,” he said. With wonderfulweather, he “never had to shut down.”

“Got it done in a little over ninedays,” said Wilts.

The yield “was probably a little belowaverage,” he said. The yield varieddepending on when the beets wereplanted. He finished beet harvest at4:30 a.m. on Oct. 10.

Wilts said the beans yields were“above average,” though they “varied alot.” He added that he was “kind of sur-prised they did that good.”

The harvest “went pretty good”though it did take a while as bean har-vest had to be put on hold to start onthe beets. Wilts finished harvestingbeans on Oct. 8.

Six days later, he started on the corn.“It’s running a little on the wet side

yet,” he said. “Thought it would be alittle dryer.”

Corn was at 23 percent moisture.“Things are going really good this

fall,” Wilts said.He expects the weather is “going to

start cooling down now.” Fall hasarrived and with that harvest is wrap-ping up. Wilts said he believes it willtake two to two-and-a-half weeks tofinish the corn.

“It’s been about an ideal harvest,” hesaid.

The HoffmansNew Ulm, Minn.

Don Hoffman fin-ished chopping ear-lage on Oct. 2 and isappreciating thebounty.

“It looks like beauti-ful feed,” he said.

The Land spoke to Hoffman on Oct.14 as he was reflecting on his first yearof chopping earlage.

“It might catch on around here,” hesaid.

Hoffman started pumping thelagoons last Thursday. The annualprocess takes about two weeks. Theequipment is holding up “so far, sogood,” he said

“Yesterday we shut down for threehours to service everything.” said Hoff-man.

One-third of the manure is used onHoffman’s fields while the other two-thirds are sold to neighbors.

“It’s a dirty job but someone’s got todo it,” he said.

“We did combine our beans on Satur-day,” Hoffman said.

The soybeans were yielding in themid-50s; that particular field usuallyhas between 60 to 65 bushels peracres.

“They looked better than theyyielded,” he said.

Hoffman’s brothers were just start-ing to combine corn on the 14th. Mean-

while Hoffman was going to make“another 500 bales of corn stalks.”

“Every day is a working day now,”he said.

Hoffman said he “gets up at 5 andruns until 10:30-11 at night.”

He’s not complaining, but he iscounting down the days until deeropener. He said some quiet time in adeer stand awaiting the perfect 10-pointer sounds nice right about now.

The HagensLake Mills, Iowa

“Lots of long days,”Jim Hagen said ashe summarized har-vest time.

The Land spokewith Hagen on Oct.13.

“We got another day and of half ofbeans left,” he said.

Hagen said the soybean harvest isgoing well with yields that vary fromfield to field, but overall “pretty good.”

He said he did have “trouble withthe bean head last night.” One of theprojects on his to-do list was “to get adifferent bean head today.”

“We’ll probably start corn the mid-dle of this week,” he said.

Hagen said he needs a day to get thedryer and everything going, but thenit’s corn harvest time.

“Corn is pretty wet yet. Wetter thanwe’d like,” he said, adding that theweather has been “cooler than nor-mal” with a “killing frost Friday.”

“We’re not getting the heat,” he said.The feeling of fall is upon the Hagen

farm. Leaves are turning and he saidthe “corn’s all brown.”

Besides the harvest, Hagen is hav-ing some tiling done now. He also hada chance to attend his niece’s weddingin Des Moines on Oct. 11. It was anopportunity to get out of the combineand celebrate.

Corn harvest will be “about thesame time we started last year,”Hagen said.

Harvest is happening right onschedule and that’s music to Hagen’sears. It’s going “smooth,” he said, figur-ing that it will take between twoweeks to 20 days to finish the corn. ❖

By RICHARD SIEMERSThe Land Correspondent

Travis and Chelsea Kleine can givea number of good reasons for raisingIcelandic sheep. “They’re hardy,” wasTravis’ immediate response.

Chelsea, whom you might call thesheepherder, added her own list ofattractive characteristics: “Low main-tenance. They’re pretty much ongrass. They get hardly any grain.They’re supposed to be parasite free.They don’t require a lot of attention.”

Icelandic sheep are known for theirtriple usefulness — wool, meat, andmilk. Spinners and felters like theunique long wool. It’s a “niche” mar-ket, Chelsea said.

“It goes for a good price if it’s cleanedup a bit but not washed, so you don’twant to just sell it at commercial priceto the shearer,” said Chelsea.

With all these advantages, why havethe Kleines cut back from a flock of 30sheep to just nine? They have foundwhat many other farmers who havetried ag enterprises have found — youcan have a good idea and a great prod-uct, but you still need a market.

There is a market for the lamb, butmost of that is in the Twin Cities,Travis said, which is quite a distancefrom their Westbrook farm in south-western Minnesota.

“We set up a stand at the SlaytonAutumn Boutique,” Travis said. “A guycame by our booth who was interestedin the lamb, but we didn’t haveenough at that time and he never gotback to us, so we (downsized our flock)a little more until we find someonewho is interested in them.”Target market

Deborah Pikovsky also raises Ice-landic sheep. Even after sending therams to market, she still has over 300in her flock. She uses the milk formaking cheese.

Deborah’s Star Thrower Farm ismore conveniently located near theurban area, at Glencoe, just east of theTwin Cities. While the location is anadvantage for farmers markets, shesaid she has an even greater advan-tage.

Deborah’s husband, Scott Pikovsky,owns a business called Great Ciao.

“It’s a specialty food business,” shesaid. “He looks for real high quality,small production products to sell tochefs as ingredients. He gave me guid-ance on what cheeses to make, and hetold me if the quality of the cheese ishigh enough, he will carry it. I have

the advantage of all his establishedconnections.”

Deborah said she started farming“on a dare.” After commentingabout small imported cheeses at afood show she attended with herhusband, he mentioned to somecolleagues that his wife was goingto make cheese. She determined tomake that comment a reality.

“I had no idea I would be doingthis. I knew nothing,” she said.

She had worked in marketing forover 30 years. For two years sheresearched sheep and cheese mak-ing, and worked alongside of sheepdairy farmers. Just before her 58thbirthday, she left the corporateworld and became a full-timefarmer. They had purchased theland in 2006, the sheep came in2007, and she started milking in2008.

She chose the Icelandic breedbecause she “wanted a pasture-based system.”

“We keep the sheep out on pas-ture year-round. We use (portable)shade shelters so they can get outof the sun,” Deborah said.

Those shelters also provide pro-tection during a blizzard, thoughheat is harder on this purebred Ice-landic breed than the cold weather.

The sheep are rotationally grazedon 100 acres, with 60 acres used forraising hay. After weaning, the ewelambs and ram lambs are on sepa-rate pastures. When the pasturesdie back, all the sheep are fed hay,with the rams eventually going tomarket, providing meat and pelts.

Having recently sent the adultrams to market, this fall Deborahhas a dairy flock of about 70 ewesin one pasture, around 100 year-ling ewes in a second pasture and150 weaned lambs.

Icelandic sheep are indeed triple-purpose — milk, meat, and wool.

Deborah uses the milk to makecheese. Since sheep milk can befrozen, she freezes enough duringmilking season for winter cheese-making.

“If it was a fluid milk system, theeconomics are not there on ourfarm,” Deborah said. “These girlsare stingy with their milk. I’vebeen doing genetic selectionthrough seven breedings, and mygoal has been three pounds per

She has a shorter milking seasonthan some because she lets thelambs stay with their mothersfor four to six weeks.

“They can be independentgrazers at that point in time,and then the mom goes intothe parlor to be milked,” Debo-rah said.

The top revenue stream isthe value-added cheese, whichis sold through her husband’sbusiness and at the Mill City FarmersMarket in Minneapolis.

Second is the meat, provided by themales. Scott also sells most of the lambthrough his business.

Third is the pelts, also from themales, which Deborah sells at thefarmers market and through directcustomer contact.

Having a spouse who can distributeyour quality product is an advantagemost folks like the Kleines don’t have.Just being closer to a large market likethe Twin Cities is also helpful.First-rate sheep

While Icelandic sheep are not a

major part of their farming these days,the Kleines like the Icelandic breed,and will keep a small flock as they lookto the future. Travis manages 5,000head of nursery pigs for a hog raiser,

and they are starting a herd ofcalves.

“We are building our hoopbarn now, which will hold 100head of bottle calves,” Travissaid. “Once we are up and run-ning we will have about 250head of calves on the placeyear round”

The Kleines also breed GreatPyranees dogs, raise chickens

for meat and eggs and sell mini-bales.The sheep play a lesser role right now.

“We plan on keeping the sheeparound for yard maintenance, until anopportunity arises for us to expandthem,” Travis said.

Due to the advantages of a hardy,triple-use sheep like the Icelandicbreed, this breed has become the sheepof choice for the Kleines and DeborahPikovsky.

By TIM KINGThe Land Correspondent

UNDERWOOD, Minn. — KarenAakre is a fiber artist and teacher whoraises Icelandic sheep, llamas, andAngora goats with her husband JimAakre on an 80-acre farm in the rollinghills near here.

Aakre has been a shepherd almost aslong as she has been a fiber artist. As ashepherd she didn’t start with sheepfor fleeces, however.

“My husband Jim brought home 10sheep one day,” she said. “They turnedout to be East Friesian so we went intothe sheep milk business for awhile.”

East Friesians are a breed that origi-nated in northern Germany and areone of the most productive breeds formilk production. There are a numberof other Friesian breeds, including theZeeland Milk Sheep.

“We set up a parlor where we couldmilk five sheep at a time,” Aakre said.“We were able to sell our milk.”

Aakre said that she and her husbandalso milked Romanov sheep.Romanovs are known for lambingrates of 300 to 400 percent and theewes give a lot of milk as a conse-quence, Aakre said.

Due to her interest in the Nordic her-itage of the area of Otter Tail Countythat she lives in and her passion forfiber arts, Aakre eventually transi-tioned to raising Icelandic sheep. TheNorwegian Vikings brought Icelandicsheep to Iceland 1,000 years ago. Thecouple has had Icelandics since 1994.

“We currently have 20 Icelandic ewesand an Icelandic ram,” Aakre said.

Icelandic fleece is very versatile. As ahand spinner, Aakre can get a range ofyarns from a single four- to five-poundfleece. Icelandic fleece has a long outercoat, called a tog, and a fine inner coatcalled a thel. This double coat is whatallows Icelandics to thrive in harshcold climates.

The tog is a medium wool that iswavy and has little or no crimp.According to hand spinners, thatmakes it excellent for worsted spin-ning.

The thel is three to four inches longwith an irregular crimp. It is fine, lus-trous, and as soft as cashmere. It makesa luxurious warm woolen yarn whenused for next-to-the-skin garments.

Aakre hand spins some of her wool.She also has some made into roving oryarn at woolen mills. She also sells anoccasional raw fleece.

Icelandic fleeces grow rapidly andcan produce as much as 18 inches ofwool in a year. As a result, there oftenis a fall and a spring shearing ratherthan just one shearing per year. Aakrehas struggled to find a good shearerthat is willing to shear her small flock.

“I’ve had people from around thestate come and shear,” she said. “Youhave to make sure they don’t do a dou-ble cut on the wool. That makes it tooshort.”

A fleece from an adult Icelandicsheep can weigh from three to sevenpounds. They come in a wide range ofcolors including many shades of white,gray, black, and a variety of browns.Some are even spotted. In manyfleeces the thel and tog are colored dif-ferently.Spinning wool

On shearing day Aakre will often setup a skirting station for each fleece.This allows her to clean the fleeces byremoving dirty or short wool. Aakre, aretired art teacher, has also usedshearing day to educate youth.

“Shearing day is an opportunity toteach children about sheep,” she said.“We can show them how to label thefleece bags and we can do a tasting oflamb. We can even do some spinningand make yarn.”

Aakre says she can sell her Icelandicfleeces, but she generally saves themfor more valuable projects.

“I’d rather save them, hand spinthem, and then use the yarn for artprojects,” she said. “Sometimes I blendthe Angora or llama fleece with thesheep’s wool.”

Aakre does not sell hand spun yarnbut has sold mill spun yarn.

“You can’t get a price that would payfor all the work you have in hand spunyarn,” she said.

Sometimes the finished product fromthe mill has been less than satisfactory.

“One mill sent me my beautiful yarnback on cones and not skeins,” shesaid. “The fiber looked hard and dead. Iwas devastated and didn’t know whatto do.”

But she did do something.“I put it in vinegar and water and

heated it to 200 degrees in the oven,”she said. “That softened it up andbrought it back to life. Jim wonderedwhat we were having for dinner,though.”

Aakre has also been experimentingwith using the hides of her Icelandicsheep. A few years ago she traveled toNorway to learn the art of makingshinnfelders. A shinnfelder is a num-ber of sheep skins sewn together tomake a blanket. The fleece is not

sheared before the animal is slaugh-tered and skinned. Then the skin istanned.

“Brain tanning is best,” Aakre said.“It makes the skin very soft. I havenot found anybody in the U.S. thatknows how to do that.”

Once the skins are tanned and sewntogether the skin side is decorated.Aakre’s finished skins have been dis-played in art museums in New YorkMills, Fergus Falls, and NorthDakota.

Aakre gives workshops and one-on-one lessons in natural dying of wool,spinning, and other fiber arts toadults and children. She is also gladto show visitors the two restored logcabins on the farm.

“I’m passionate about history; espe-cially old spinning wheels and looms,”she said. “I have 18 old spinningwheels and 12 looms in various statesof repair.” ❖

Courageous guard dog whose sizealone helps scare predators awayfrom sheep, or big white cuddly pet?It appears the Great Pyrenees dogcan fill either role.

For the Chelsea and Travis Kleinefamily of rural Westbrook, Minn.,the Pyrs (as they are sometimescalled) started as pets. They had thedogs before they had sheep.

“I had one growing up and I likedthe breed,” Chelsea said. “Wedecided we needed some sheep forthem to guard.”

With their flock of Icelandic sheepdown to nine, the dogs don’t have alot of guard work, but the Kleinesbreed their Great Pyrenees and sellthe puppies.

According to dog breed websites, itis characteristic of Great Pyreneesto be very loyal and devoted to theirfamily, which causes them to be ter-ritorial and protective. Not all are sowelcoming to strangers as theKleines’ Pyrenees, which tend to thegentle side.

“Our dogs are quite laid back,” Chelsea said. “Iknow some Pyrs like family only. If you’re a

stranger, you better beware. But people have saidthey’ve never seen a puppy so laid back as ours.”

That’s a disposition that the Kleines seek todevelop in their dogs, since many of them are pur-chased as pets. The five puppies in their last litterwere all purchased by local people looking for a pet.They said that it is typical that when a pup is pur-chased by someone from a greater distance, it is usu-ally for work as a guard dog.

Their puppies are all American Kennel Club regis-trable, and they handle the full or limited registra-tion for those who want it. They recommend full reg-istration if the buyer is planning on using the dog forshowing or breeding. Those who purchase for petsusually forgo that added expense.

Large as the Great Pyrenees dogs are, they aregentle and the Kleines’ young children play withthem like with some large stuffed animal. But theGreat Pyrenees was bred primarily to guard sheep.

According to DogBreedInfo.com, the breed origi-nated in Central Asia or Siberia, and worked its wayto the mountains of Europe, taking its name fromthe Pyrenees. It developed a thick, double coat whichwithstands the cold. In addition to guarding sheep, ithas been used as an avalanche rescue dog, and indomestic ways pulling carts or sleds.Loyal guardians

Bob and Sarah Lea of Cokato, Minn., also breedGreat Pyrenees on their Milk and Honey Farm, andit was as guard dogs that they purchased their firstpair. In an e-mail interview, Bob Lea said that whenthey moved to the country and purchased somechickens and sheep, they knew their neighbors hadtrouble with feral dog packs, rats, and raccoonskilling their cattle and poultry.

“We had met a couple of adult Great Pyrenees at a

friend’s farm and were impressed byhow well they keep the farm — and theneighborhood — free from predators,”Lea wrote. “Proactively, we bought twoGreat Pyrenees to keep our place preda-tor free.”

Their decision has paid off.“In 18 years out in the country, we

have not lost a sheep, duck or chicken toa four-legged predator,” he said. “We get feedbackfrom our customers on the great job the Pyrs do asguardians.”

About 40 percent of their customers purchase thepups primarily for guardians and about 60 percentgo to families as pets. While most of the sales are inMinnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin, they’ve had peoplecome from almost every state, even Alaska.

Lea said the Great Pyrenees has a wide range oftemperaments, just as people do, but overall hedescribes them as “regal, independent, gentle andloyal.”

“They seem to have all the character traits thatyou wish a best friend has,” he said.

In the end, these “friends” have guardianship bredinto them. The Leas have been talking to a shepherdwho has donkey guardians, and is still losing a lot oflambs.

“He wouldn’t be losing any with Pyr guardians,”Lea said. “If people have trouble with bears, wolvesor cougars, we advise them to get two Pyrs. One willdie defending, but two will drive off any predator.”

Their loyalty and guarding ability may never beput to that great of a test, but Lea admires theireveryday usefulness just as much.

“Great Pyrenees are the best guardians if you havechildren, or have strangers coming on your place,” hesaid.

Both the Leas and the Kleines can be contactedthrough their websites. They not only want their cus-tomers to know what they are getting, they want tobe certain their pups are getting good homes.

By TIM KING The Land Correspondent

Editor’s note: Please enjoy this rarefirst-person account from The Land,about how correspondent Tim King’sson Colin introduced Cheviot lambs totheir family’s farm.

CLOTHO, Minn. — After nearlythree decades of fruit and vegetableproduction this farm is now also rais-ing a small flock of feeder lambs.

Since 1985, our family has had acommercial garden and orchard on our10 acres of tillable land. We’ve also hada bee yard and have bartered 4 or 5acres of pasture in exchange formanure which we compost. The bee-keeper barters land rental for honeywith us.

We had experience with livestock of asort in the 1980s. For three years wetried having a gaggle of geese forweeding our strawberries. It didn’t gowell. Between owls and seeminglyincurable and deadly eye diseases, wedecided we didn’t really care to raiseanimals. Perhaps it was the sight ofone of our Chinese geese flying overthe neighbor’s flagpole that finally con-vinced us that we didn’t like them andthey didn’t like us. We made a resolu-tion: No more farm animals at MapleHill Garden.

So, why then, is there a flock of adozen Cheviot lambs grazing aroundthe bee hives and the second batch of150 or so broiler chickens grazing inthe orchard this summer?

The reason is that we are in the thirdyear of an evolving experiment. Theinitial experiment was for my sonColin to determine if he could raisesheep and chickens on the farm. Hehad no experience with either of theseenterprises and no one he knew hadany more than second-hand experi-ence. My wife and I were generallyopposed. We had known farmyardgeese can’t fly over flagpoles and we’dheard that sheep can’t either. But we’dbeen wrong before.

However, the young have a way ofshifting the status quo. In 2012, therewere three Cheviot lambs, purchasedfrom the beekeeper, on grass on ourfarm. In 2013, there were six. This sea-son there are 12 and there are tenta-tive discussions about a 50 percentincrease next year. The chicken flockhas grown at a similar rate.

Now, the experiment seems to be howmuch can this little 10 acre plot produce.

“I am at about a 50,000 pound peracre stocking rate in the paddocks thatI’m on now,” Colin told us the other

morning. “This spring I was shootingfor about 35,000 pounds.”

The paddocks that Colin has hissheep in now are sandwiched betweenthe field road and the area that theneighbor grazes fifteen or so cow-calfpairs for four or five weeks a year. Ihad always seen this little sandwichspace as wasteland on the farm. Butafter three seasons of carefully man-aged intensive grazing by sheep andchickens, the grass is richer andthicker than it has ever been. Thewasteland is now an opportunity toput some pounds on Colin’s grass-fedand pasture-finished lambs.

“Grazing really improved the pas-ture,” Colin said. “There is more grassand there are more species of plants inthe paddocks.”

“The pasture is even better wherethe mobile chicken pens have been,” hesaid. “The object of management inten-sive grazing is to use the livestock totrample about half or a little more ofthe standing forage. This tramplingcreates a thick mulch which providesmoisture retention and builds organicmatter in the pasture.”

By exploiting every square foot ofunused land in the garden, orchard,bee yard, and cow pasture area, Colinhas more than enough grass for thisyear’s flock of twelve. But this year,with all the rain, is unusual.

Last year the grass in paddocks wentdormant before Colin was ready tosend his lambs to be butchered. He feda small amount of hay, but the lambsalso prospered on box elder and golden

rod leaves.“Golden rod is an acquired taste,” he

told us. “It takes them a little while tolearn to enjoy it. They like milkweedand they really like goat’s beard. Theydidn’t like ash leaves early in the sum-mer but they ate them later. Thisyear’s group of lambs is the first thatI’ve seen eat poison ivy leaves.”

In the fall the sheep also graze oatsthat were seeded in early August inthe fallow areas of the garden. Theyalso enjoy time in our sweet corn andsquash patches.

Fall oats were originally seeded as agreen manure crop in the garden’s fal-low areas. Our idea was that bareground is not good. Now the sheepgraze and manure the oats after thefirst few frosts. They enjoy the milkyseeds and sweet leaves but they leaveplenty of stubble to cover the groundduring the winter. This year Colin

expanded the fall oats project byplowing, summer fallowing, and seed-ing a third of an acre in the cow-calfpasture.

The farm’s 10 acres was in alfalfawhen we came here thirty years ago.Over the years the land that wasn’tused for garden, orchard, pasture, andbee yard has had trees and shrubsencroach on it. Colin has found all theold field borders and dead furrows andput up a perimeter fence using steel t-posts and electrified high tensile alu-minum wire. Then, using electric poly-wire and step-in fiberglass posts he’screated a series of small paddocks thathe is constantly moving.

“Paddock size is between 500-1,000square feet, depending on grazingconditions,” he said.

“The quick grazing and tramplinghas significantly improved pastureperformance over the three seasonsthat I've been grazing. I’ve been ableto more than double my stocking rateand my forage stands at well over fivefeet tall by the end of June. Prior tousing rotational grazing, grass heightin my pasture would not have reachedpast my knee. Management intensivegrazing and rotational grazingrequires more labor and fencing, butgreatly improves the health of ourfarm and our profits.”

When we started gardening in theold alfalfa field in 1985, the sandyloam soil was hard and pretty muchwithout life. Since then, throughgreen manures and compost, we’vebuilt a soil that is soft, full of life, andvery productive.

Now Colin is expanding upon thatby building the health of the soil inthe grassy and brushy areas.

The question is: How much valuecan 10 acres produce when they areintensively and carefully managed?And, of course, do sheep fly? ❖

U.S. dairy farmers got the message. Therecord high milk prices and low feedcosts, signaled them to, pardon the pun,“milk ’em for all their worth.” They addedcows and got more out of every one.

Preliminary data in the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture’s latest Milk Produc-tion report shows September output inthe top 23 producing states at 15.49 bil-lion pounds, up 4.1 percent from August2013 and the ninth consecutive monththat output was above a year ago. The 50-statetotal, at 16.47 billion pounds, was up 4.0 percentfrom a year ago. Revisions reduced the original Aug.23 state estimate by 3 million pounds, now put at16.2 billion pounds, up 2.6 percent from a year ago.

August cow numbers in the 23 states, at 8.59 mil-lion head, were up 4,000 head from August and78,000 more than a year ago. The 50-State count, at9.27 million head, is up 2,000 from July and 59,000more than a year ago.

August output per cow in the 23 states averaged1,804 pounds, up 56 pounds from September 2013,and the highest production per cow for the month ofSeptember since the 23-state series began in 2003.

Minnesota was up 1.5 percent, despite aloss of 3,000 cows, but output per cow wasup 35 pounds.

Meanwhile, dairy cow culling increasedsome in September, according to USDA’slatest Livestock Slaughter report, but thehigh milk prices and low feed prices keptthe numbers well below a year ago. Anestimated 238,000 dairy cows wereslaughtered under Federal inspection, up9,000 head from August but 21,000 belowSeptember 2013. Looking at the first ninemonths of 2014, USDA estimates that

2.09 million head were “retired” from the dairy busi-ness, 253,000 head less or 12 percent below the sameperiod a year ago.

HighGround Dairy’s Eric Meyer, in his analysis ofthe Milk Production report predicts continued outputabove a year ago. He points out that Septembershowed the largest annual growth in a single monthsince March 2012.

His initial call was that the report was “neutralsince it met expectations but since we believe this isthe start of a number of 4 percent plus expansionmonths, it likely has bearish overtones to the U.S.spot and futures markets in the near future.”

He explains that two key bearish factors havetaken control of the U.S. milk production engine:Cheaper/higher quality feed and favorable weatherthroughout most of the country. This has led toexceptional growth in production per cow over thepast few months and is expected to continue in thecoming months. He believes the conditions are ripefor very strong U.S. milk production through theremainder of the year. To read the complete report,write Eric at [email protected].

The bearish Milk Production report was offset a bitby a somewhat bullish Cold Storage report. Septem-ber butter stocks totaled 146.1 million pounds onSept. 30, down 18.9 million pounds or 11 percentfrom August and 86.9 million pounds or 37 percentbelow September 2013, according to preliminarydata issued Oct. 22.

American-type cheese, at 631.3 million pounds, wasdown 16.6 million pounds or 3 percent from Augustand 29.8 million or 5 percent below a year ago. How-ever, revisions reduced the original August inventorynumber by 14.5 million pounds.

Total cheese stocks on Sept. 30 stood at 1.0 billionpounds, down 27.3 million pounds or 3 percent fromAugust and 57.4 million pounds or 5 percent below ayear ago.

Cash cheese butter prices plunged the week of Oct.20. The block Cheddar ended two weeks of “recovery,”closing Friday at $2.14 per pound, down 14.75 centson the week but 26.50 cents above a year ago. TheCheddar barrels saw a fifth week of decline, finishingat $1.9225, also down 14.75 cents on the week, 10.25cents above a year ago, but a much larger than normal2.75 cents below the blocks, a spread that normallyranges 3-5 cents. This is the first time since July 31,2014 that the barrels are below $2 per pound.

The blocks have plunged 31 cents from their recentrecord high and barrels have lost 56.75 cents. Gener-ally, a penny movement on cheese equates to about adime on the milk price. Only two cars of block and 15of the once-tight barrel traded hands on the week. TheNational Dairy Products Sales Report-surveyed U.S.average block price fell to $2.2638, down 7.9 cents,while the barrels averaged $2.2149, down 11.5 cents.

Milk production remains strong in much of theupper Midwest, but less so in Minnesota, according toDairy Market News. Nevertheless, milk continues toflow into Minnesota cheese plants from surroundingstates and is available in needed volumes. Cheeseplants in other Midwest states generally have ade-quate milk available. Some cheese manufacturersbelieve cheese inventory levels are "decent" while oth-ers note inventory levels being worked lower.

Opinions about sales are mixed, with some cheeseplants being sold out for much of this year, somereporting good sales, while some note customers arestill purchasing hand to mouth while hoping for aprice decline. Midwest demand for Italian cheeseremains particularly strong and is expected toremain strong for a couple of more weeks. Halloweenis regarded as one of the strongest food service day ofthe year for pizza sales, with frozen pizza sales alsostrong.

■

Cash butter appeared to have rounded the cornerin its steep four-week descent when it inched backup a penny and a half on Monday and 1.75 centsTuesday but the bleeding started again on Wednes-day and fell below $2 per pound for the first timesince April 30, 2014. It closed Friday at $1.81 down19 cents on the week, 33.50 cents above a year ago,and down $1.25 from its recent record high. Fortycarloads traded hands on the week. NDPSR butteraveraged $2.7366, down 18.50 cents.

Holiday orders are picking up, spurred by recentdeclining wholesale butter prices, according to DairyMarket News, but the market tone still has someuncertainty as to where prices will stabilize. Centralproduction rates vary, but are generally higher asmanufacturers look to fill seasonally increasingsales. Interest from both retail and food serviceaccounts strengthened. U.S. prices are converging tocompeting global markets.

Cream demand is weak as churn operators workcurrent inventories lower. Manufacturers' suppliesrange from light to moderate. Some buyers note afew trucking challenges for large volume orders.

■

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed Friday at$1.2450, down 13.50 cents on the week, and the low-est level since July 11, 2012. Five cars were sold inthe spot market this week. NDPSR powder averaged$1.5147, up 1.9 cents, and dry whey averaged 65.23cents per pound, down 1.4 cents.

Local Corn and Soybean Price Index

Grain AnglesTransportation

strained Grain producers faced spring planting challenges,

extreme commodity price declines, and now they’relooking at challenges with transporting a projectedrecord production.

We learn price is the equilibrium of supply anddemand in “Economics 101.” Thisis true if we have an efficienttransportation link between abuyer and seller. Today, basisnumbers indicate that trans-portation in parts of the countryremain extremely strained.

For example, at the time of thiswriting some North Dakota cornbids are $3.00 a bushel less thancorn bids in Herford, Texas.

When looking at transportationof grains and oilseeds, two majormodes play an important role inmoving the increased productionof corn and soybean crops due to yield gains: rail,and the lock and dam system.

There has been a lot of talk of the needed invest-ments in additional rail crews, equipment, andtrack; however, nothing is happening as fast as theincreased demand for railroads to move morefreight.

Additionally, the lock and dam system, which wasmostly built in the 1930s, requires improvements toensure timely and efficient transportation to domes-tic and export markets.

A major transportation logjam started during lastyear’s harvest, and we have seen delays that willcontinue into the current harvest. We have abouttwo months left until the upper Mississippi River

Grain OutlookWeather keeping

producers in fieldsThe following market analysis is for the week end-

ing Oct. 24.CORN — Corn pushed to new highs this week, hit-

ting $3.65 per bushel on spillover strength from the soycomplex that prompted fund buying. Open weatherthrough at least the end of themonth will keep producers in thefield with the expectation thathedge pressure should increasefrom extremely low levels.

Growers did reward the rallythis week with sales, but don’tdiscount the fact that everyspace will get filled before har-vest is complete. The intermittentstoppages of harvest have givenproducers and elevators aliketime to catch up on drying andfind a home for the crop.

Harvest progress as of Oct. 19was only 32 percent complete. Export sales were atthe high end of expectations at 40.6 million bushels.Total export commitments are running four percentlower than last year, but the U.S. Department of Agri-culture is forecasting exports to be nine percentlower year-on-year. Total sales commitments stand at41 percent of the USDA’s forecast.

A new factor in the market this week was the chat-ter about two European feed wheat cargoes headedto the Southeast feeder market. This reinforces thefact there is a plentiful supply of world feed wheatavailable. Freight problems in the eastern marketare another issue that makes imports attractive.

The December corn chart this month is similar to2011 when corn rallied from an Oct. 3 low of $5.72 1⁄4

Livestock AnglesLivestock markets

remain uneasyThe volatility is still present in the livestock mar-

kets, as well as the continual change of direction.It’s more prevalent in the cattle market than the

hogs but it still remains as markets are very uneasy.This uneasiness has developed because of the worldevents taking place, such as theEbola outbreak, the ISIS situa-tion in the Middle East, and thefaltering economies worldwide.

The cattle market has beenvery erratic of late, as the futuresmarket has run into resistanceand fallen back despite the factthat the supply of cattle is astight as it will be all year.

This is a definite indication thatdemand is beginning to slowbecause of the high price of beefin comparison to other competi-tive meats. This is evident by thebeef cutout that has been improving while the vol-ume in the boxed beef trade has slowed in responseto the higher prices.

With pork, chicken and turkey prices drifting lower,beef could have a difficult time maintaining any pricestrength despite the tighter supplies. With packermargins already in the red and facing these tightsupplies, the battle will ensue as what level packerscan pay if demand continues to falter.

The possibility still exists for cash prices to gohigher as packers try to accumulate inventory. How-ever the futures market may lag in price as it looksbeyond the supply problems and looks at demanddeclining affecting future prices. The fourth quartershould be seen by the producer as the opportunity to

NYSTROM, from pg. 15to $6.65 1⁄2 on Oct. 21, then movedsideways to Nov. 9 when it broke to aDecember low of $5.70 per bushel. Ifyield reports continue on pace, a fur-ther pullback should be in the cards.The expiration of the Novemberoptions this week may also take a legof support away from the market.Keep in mind that we probably won’thave half the crop harvested by Oct.26. Harvest progress is predicted tobe just 45 percent complete as of Oct.26 versus 65 percent complete onaverage.

On the commitment of tradersreport as of Oct. 21, non-commercialtraders increased their net long posi-tion by 32,000 contracts to net long58,000 contracts. With most of thelength assumed to be in the Decembercontract, the roll forward or liquida-tion should lend pressure on the con-tract. The cattle on feed report wasneutral with on feed 99 percent of last

year, placement 101percent and marketing99 percent. All the num-bers were within one percent of theestimates.

Weekly ethanol production was up11,000 barrels to 896,000 barrels perday. Stocks were 416,000 barrels lowerat 7.9 million barrels. In February, theUSDA will begin issuing a newmonthly report that will include U.S.ethanol production, individual feed-stocks used and by-products produced.Reporting by the industry will bemandatory.

Effective Nov. 2, the Chicago Mercan-tile Exchange will implement newdaily trading limits for the agriculturesector. This is part of the new proce-dure established earlier this year. Thedaily trading limit for corn will dropfrom 35 cents to 25 cents, soybeanswill be cut from $1.00 to 70 cents,Chicago Board of Trade wheat willdecline a dime to 35 cents, Kansas City

Board of Trade wheatwill fall a dime to 40

cents, bean oil will gofrom three cents per pound to 2 1/2cents, meal will decrease from $30 perton to $25 per ton, and oatsremain at 25 cents perbushel.

OUTLOOK: Decem-ber corn managed anickel gain for theweek, closing at$3.53 per bushel.This week’s highat $3.65 will actas first resistancewith the firstreally heavy weekof harvest foreveryone at thesame time ahead ofus. We just haven’t feltany urgency to harvestthis record crop. Fund buyingand the upswing in meal and soybeanstook corn along for the ride. The focusshould return to a record corn harvestin the coming weeks. The CME is cut-ting electronic trading hours in live-stock futures and options effective Oct.27. The new hours in central time are:Monday 9:05 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Tuesday toThursday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Friday 8a.m. to 1:55 p.m. Open-outcry hourswill remain the same.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans were thestar of the show this week as traderspositioned ahead of the Oct. 24 expira-tion of the November options. A jump-ing meal market pulled beans higheras technical buying, slow grower sell-ing, a lack of hedge pressure, andincreased demand offset more favor-able crop conditions in Brazil.Although nothing has been confirmed,it’s also thought that up to six mealcargoes were switched from the UnitedStates to Argentina origin or canceledthis week. November soybeans hit anew high for the move at $10.02 perbushel on Friday before reversinglower into the weekend.

Oil World floated the expectationthat South American soybean acreagecould be lower than last year as pricessqueeze margins. However, they seemto be the only ones anticipating adecline rather than a 3-4 percentincrease in bean acreage at theexpense of corn acreage. Weekly export

sales were an astonishing 79.6 millionbushels. The surprising part was therewere no daily announcements duringthe week.

Total soybean sales commitmentsare already at 71 percent of

the USDA forecast. Totalsales are running 7 per-

cent ahead of last yearwhen the USDA isprojecting sales toincrease 3 1/2 per-cent year on year.In comments, theUSDA said that alarge portion ofthe sales wereswitched from

optional origin andanother big portion

should have beenannounced on the daily

reports. They stated thatthe USDA records “misreport-

ing” and does remind exporters of theirresponsibilities regarding reporting.Meal sales were dismal at just 23,000metric tons compared to pre-reportestimates for at least 150,000 mt.

Soybean harvest in the northern beltwill finish up in many areas by Oct. 28and progress should accelerate in theEast as conditions dry. November soy-beans were 25 3⁄4 cents higher thisweek at $9.77 1⁄2 per bushel, Januarysoybeans rallied 23 1⁄2 cents to $9.831⁄4, December meal raced $19.70higher and December soy oil was 37points higher. Non-commercial traderscut their net short soybean positionsas of Oct. 21 by 9,600 contracts to netshort 51,000 contracts, according tothe latest commitment of tradersreport.

OUTLOOK: Growers should enjoyclear weather this coming week asthey finish up the last 25-30 percent ofsoybean harvest. Harvest is usually 75percent complete as of this week. Theweak close for the week may set themarket up for further downside. ABloomberg survey indicated that of the26 traders participating 15 were bear-ish, six were bullish and five were neu-tral for price direction in the last weekof October. First support in the Janu-ary contract is the 14-day movingaverage at $9.62 1⁄4 per bushel andresistance at the Oct. 24 high of $10.083⁄4 per bushel. ❖

Nystrom: Jumping meal market pulls beans higherMARKETING

TEALE, from pg. 15take advantage of these high pricesfor finished and feeder cattle.

The hog market appears to havetopped out as cash prices have slippedduring the middle of October. Numbersappear to be increasing and thereforesupplies are on the increase. This isallowing the packer to be more selec-tive in the pricing of live inventory.

The effects of the porcine epidemicdiarrhea virus appear to be lesseningand therefore we should see morehogs available for market. Thefutures market has anticipated thisas discounts are deep in all contracts

at present. Obviously these discountswill disappear in time as the futuresand cash come together at the futurescontract expiration.

The fact that hog numbers areincreasing, it is more than likely thecash market will continue to weakenin the latter part of the year. At thesame time the futures market couldmaintain near current levels as thecash market slides.

All things considered, the hog mar-ket is still at multi-year highs and pro-ducers should take advantage of thesehigh prices and the good hog/corn ratioat present. ❖

Hogs have topped out

LENSING, from pg. 15lock and dam system is closed for theseason. Today we are seeing bargefreight rates increase as shippers tryto get the harvest moving as quicklyas possible.

Rail freight or rail cars used to haulgrain has also been climbing as the2014 harvest is off to an excellentstart. Just as some expected, easterncorn belt states that are a bit furtheralong in harvest are already experi-encing delays in transportation (somelocations are rumored to have NO railbids) causing storage shortages.

It’s only a matter of time as harvestprogresses to the north and west,

before we have strain added to ourtransportation system here.

In the coming months and yearsexpect to hear more about how the bil-lions of dollars invested in rail andriver logistics will benefit farmers, inmaintaining the United States’ com-petitive edge, the ability to efficientlytransport and export grain to demandsources around the globe.

By MARIE WOOD The Land Associate Editor

The banner reads “Para Los Ninos”(for the children) and hangs outsidethe Migrant and Seasonal Head Startand Early Head Start center housed inthe old grade school in Elysian, Minn.

Inside, migrant children, six weeksto age 5, are getting kindergartenready as they learn, play, eat and nap.Most of the parents work at the peaand corn packing plants in Waseca andMontgomery, Minn.

One of the biggest challenges formigrant children is the disruption oftheir education. That’s why thenational Migrant Education Program,provides educational and support serv-ices to eligible migrant childrenbetween the ages of 3-21 each year.Head Start and Early Head Startserves pregnant women and childrenthrough age 5.

Isabel Ramirez and Eric Silva ofFaribault, Minn., have three childrenthat are bussed to and from theElysian center, which provides HeadStart services from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.weekdays. The couple worked firstshift at Birds Eye Foods in Waseca,packing peas in June and July andthen rolled into corn packing throughSeptember.

“This is a really great place for allthe children and for usas parents, becausewe’re not worried. Theytake care of them good.They eat well and learna lot,” said Eric througha translator.

The children seemhappy and at homehere. Marilyn, 2, andDamien, 4, played withthe dollhouse in thepreschool room. Sofia,at 9 months, followedsuit until her attentionwas captivated by tak-ing colorful toys in andout of a box. NextDamien turned to Dup-los and counting. Mari-lyn served up food fromthe play kitchen stockedwith multi-cultural foodfrom sliced bread to tortillas andbeans.

“They learn to speak English andSpanish, how to play with other kids.They help them get potty trained,” saidIsabel. “Marilyn has learned a lot sinceshe’s been there. They’re very kindhere.”

Education, health servicesThe Elysian Migrant and Seasonal

Head Start and Early Head Start Cen-ter is one of 14 centers in Minnesotaoperated by Tri-Valley OpportunityCouncil. The centers combine educa-

tion with support serv-ices to assist familiesfrom May throughDecember.

“We offer early child-hood education, healthservices, we make surethey are up-to-date ontheir shots and offerresources for medicaland dental treatments,”said Laura Elfert, cen-ter manager.

Eric and Isabel’s isone of the lucky fami-lies, because they aren’tmoving at the end of theseason. Last year, theyreturned to Wisconsin,where they lived withIsabel’s mom. Thatmeans their eldest

daughter, Briana, 10, won’t have tochange schools this year. They arestaying in their rented home in Farib-ault and working in a Mexican restau-rant until their packing jobs resumenext June.

Many migrant families from theElysian center have returned to theirhome state of Texas. In 2014, the cen-

ter served 63 children and pregnantwomen and will continue providingservices into December.

Isabel, originally from Guadalajara,Mexico, grew up in Wisconsin on adairy farm owned by her parents. Inthe summer of 2013, Eric and Isabelbrought their family to Minnesota toapply for jobs at the Birds Eye plant.Isabel had worked for Birds Eye Foods

in Wisconsin. That summer, Isabelsaw a flyer for the center and called.Liz Zamora, Tri-Valley OpportunityCouncil recruiter and family advo-cate, helped the family find a rentalhouse and enrolled them for services.The family is grateful for the excel-lent care and resources. For instance,the family received car seats and

Eric Silva, daughters Sofia and Marilyn,wife Isabel Ramirez and son Damien areenrolled in Migrant and Seasonal HeadStart and Early Head Start in Elysian,Minn. Eric and Isabel’s children attendthe center from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. week-days.

EDUCATION, from pg. 25learned how to use the seats properly.

“They (car seats) are very expensive and we can’tafford it,” said Isabel.

At Head Start parent meetings, Isabel has madefriends — most of whom she won’t see again untilnext summer. Already a lovingmom, the meetings taught herabout child care and developmentto improve her parenting.

“I learned how important it is tobrush their teeth,” said Isabel.

Isabel and Eric are looking totheir children’s future. Eric gradu-ated from high school in Guana-joato, Mexico, but Isabel nevergraduated from high school. WhileIsabel wants to earn her GED, shehas higher aspirations for her chil-dren. Isabel’s dream for them is “tostudy, be happy and healthy, and togo to college.”Serving migrant families

The Migrant and Seasonal HeadStart and Early Head Start mis-sion is to cultivate lifelong learningin children and families, while the short-term goalis kindergarten readiness. To that end, children arescreened for development.

If delays are diagnosed, family advocates connectthe families with services such as speech or physi-cal therapy. Sometimes family advocates or the cen-ter nurse will transport the children to medicalappointments. Throughout the process, Zamora sees

the parents grow and learn about their child’s devel-opment.

To identify families in need of migrant services,Tri-Valley’s recruiters and family advocates meetwith human resources and managers at packingplants, as well as with farmers and orchard growers.Sometimes the plant managers are not interested,said Melanie Wolff, recruiter and family advocate atthe Elysian center. Many managers are grateful sothe recruiters go to break rooms to talk to workers.All the recruiters and family advocates speak Span-ish and English.

“We work to form partnerships with workplacesand farmers, as well as local community resourcesincluding food banks, churches and landlords inorder to meet the needs of families,” said Elfert.

For three summers, Zamora has been helpingmigrant families in southern Minnesota. The threebiggest needs are clothing, food and housing. One ofZamora’s families needed a table where they couldeat their family suppers. Most are in need of warmclothes, hats and sweaters for their children.

“They don’t come prepared for this weather,” saidZamora.

Support services can also include helping parentsget scholarships to obtain their GEDs.

Zamora’s heart goes out to her families that packup and head back to Texas and other states every

October. With each family, Zamora sets goals andmakes a plan to transition them to the next schooldistrict.

“It’s hard for school-aged children because theyjust get started at school,” she said.

In Minnesota, Tri-Valley Opportunity Councilidentified 1,767 migrant children in 2012-13. Onaverage, 1,300 children age 3 to 21 are served annu-ally in the Migrant Education Program.

IIt’s the middle of fall harvest season, in the middleof farm country, but all is quiet. Even farmersneed rest.

Early on a late-October morning, driving north outof Albert Lea, Minn., on Highway 13, there are plentyof combines, tractors, grain carts and semi trucks inhalf-harvested fields, but they’re parked, and cold.

Scanning the landscape in all directions, the onlymovement is the slow rotation of a wind farm’s mas-sive turbine blades. The air is heavy and almost still,dampening the barely-audible ‘whoosh’.

The farmers aren’t sleeping in, of course. Most havealready been up for hours, drinking coffee, eatingbreakfast, checking the news, planning out the day.

Soon enough the boots and overalls will be on, all ofthe combines’ Zerks greased, and the countryside willbe bustling with activity until long after the sun setsonce again.

But for now, for the moment ... silence. ❖
