“Truth is generally the best vindicationagainst slander.” ~ Abraham Lincoln,letter to Secretary of War Edwin Stanton,July 18, 1864

Transparency is crucial in any relation-ship. A successful marriage requires thepartners be truthful. Trust is vitalbetween parents and children. Honesty isat the core of a good business partnership.

Farmers and the entire food industrymust be transparent in their relationshipwith consumers.

Genetic engineering, animal welfare,water quality, antibiotics and growthhormones, herbicides and pesticides,slaughterhouse procedures ... all are top-ics the public may have once chosen to cover its col-lective ears about and say “I don’t care how it gothere, just give me the cheeseburger, soda and fries.”

That just isn’t the case anymore. Today peoplewant to know what’s in their food, where it camefrom and how it was grown.

With more information, of course, comes both thegood and the bad. For example, it’s a fact there aresome poorly trained or just plain nasty people whoabuse animals in confinement facilities. It does agri-culture a disservice to cover up the issue by addingextra penalties for illicit videotaping. The problemisn’t that it gets caught — the problem is “it.”

Meanwhile, the science may not be quite as ready-for-prime-time as we’d like regarding the advancedag technologies used these days with animals andgrains. Backing truckloads of money into politicalpockets to influence legislation or approvals doesn’tmake you right, just louder.

Whether labels like organic, free-range, cage-free,natural, grass-fed, pasture-raised or humane makefood healthier or better in some way is up to the per-son pushing the grocery cart to decide for their ownfamily.

So let’s tell people what’s in their food, where itcame from, and how it was grown ... and educatethem about how that information does, or does not,impact their well-being.

Don’t patronize consumers by, essentially, pattingthem on the head and telling them not to worryabout what they’re putting in their bodies. As long asproducers and processors think they know better andwithhold the full truth about their products andmethods, conscientious consumers will understand-ably feel they are being denied information.

Distrust breeds contempt, and plummeting faith inthe entire food system. Such weaknesses are happilytaken advantage of by organizations with “anti-ag”agendas. If agriculture is under attack, don’t fling

slander and misdirection like your oppo-nents; fight back with fact.

Many farm groups, of course, are work-ing hard to get the “ag story” to the generalpublic, to show how most farmers are hon-est people who care about the grain theygrow, the meat they raise, the environmentwe all live in, and are proud of what theydo. One example can be found on Page 9 ofthis very issue. Such efforts are valuableand important to the future of agriculture.

But without legislation or, preferably, self-imposed programs to bring transparencyto the entire food chain, such “ag story”efforts will be seen by a discriminating

public as nothing more than shallow PRstunts. Farmers must be outspoken, progressive andtransparent as they shine the light of truth all of theway up the food chain to the shopping cart.

LAND MINDS

By Tom Royer

To the Editor:We often think of our

legacy as related to ourfarm’s financial success. Our legacy will show how wewere able to weather hard times — floods, droughts,hot weather, cool weather, low prices, pests, weeds,the farming crisis of the ’80s, changes in productionmethods and other enormous challenges.

Our legacy will show that not only did our farm sur-vive, it prospered. Maybe it even grew in number ofacres or livestock.

These are all important parts of our legacies.But, what is our legacy in relation to our commu-

nity? What is our legacy in relation to all of thosepieces of our community that make it the place welove, and make it what it is?

What is the legacy we leave for those who wish tomove to or live in our area? What is the legacy wewant to leave for the next generation of farmers?

We all want the next generation of farmers to succeed, justas the generations previous to us wanted us to succeed.Arewe leaving them with the opportunity to do so? Can anyonewho wants to farm have that opportunity? Shouldn’t some-one who wants to farm have that opportunity?

I was able to farm for two simple reasons. Reason No. 1— my family supported me. However, my parents did notfarm enough land to support two families. The other rea-son I was able to farm was because of two landowners.Both valued helping a young farmer as much as they val-ued “top dollar.” In return, I have treated their land withthe care and respect I would as if I owned it. Because ofthis, and because I raise crops for specialty markets, theyhave both been rewarded financially as well.

As land ownership changes hands, are our valuesbeing accurately and honestly reflected? When yousee land changing hands, does it show to others whatwe truly value?

Without creative transition solutions, where will thenext generation of farmers worship, shop and send theirkids to school? Will they be able to farm at all?

What are some ways we can show our values andensure our legacy — not just financially, but also inother ways — when we transition our farm to thenext generation?

This question can be quite hard to answer.However, there is a large and continually growing

number of examples of creative ways that retiringfarmers have found to transition their land to newfarmers. There are all sorts of different examples thathave allowed retiring farmers to ensure that theirfarm’s financial, family and community legacy is pre-served for the next generation.

I know, without a doubt, that if we look hardenough, we can all find ways to ensure our legacies ina way that truly reflects our values.Ryan BataldenLamberton, Minn.

For all last year’s talk about completing a farmbill before this year’s spring planting, the operativemessage from Congress to farmers now appears tobe “Take two aspirins and we’ll call you in June.”

The first part of the message, take two aspirins, isgood advice for anyone attempting to sort outtoday’s federal budget process and what it likelymeans for any farm bill.

Here’s how one of Capitol Hill’s keenest ag eyes,Ferd Hoefner, policy director of the National Sus-tainable Agriculture Coalition, described the upcom-ing Congressional budget round-robin in a Januaryblog post — http://bit.ly/UveJUe — after HouseRepublican leaders announced their plan to raisethe federal debt ceiling through mid-May:

“If the new plan succeeds” — it has: the WhiteHouse and Senate Democrats agreed to it after

Hoefner posted this analysis —“there would be a February debateand decision over sequestration,(the across-the-board cuts agreedto the August 2011 budget deal) aMarch debate and decision overthe second half of Fiscal Year 2013funding, an April and May debateand decision over a Fiscal Year2014 budget resolution” and“another need to raise the debtceiling” shortly thereafter.

If you’re keeping score, that’s onesequestration, two fiscal years’budgets, three debates, threebudget agreements and one“need” to raise the debt limit againby Memorial Day.

Gee, what could go wrong with that plan?Yet this is the legislative tango, noted Hoefner, who

has watched farm bill sausage-fests for 35 years, atthe top of the Congressional dance card.

These intricate steps promise a “continuing processof governing by manufactured crisis after manufac-

tured crisis,” he wrote, that will put off any“mark-up of a new farm bill” to “late-May or Juneat the earliest.”

Of course, little of the debt dance has anythingto do with finding new ways to make governmentmore effective — let alone write a farm bill —when nearly everyone involved in the searchwants political victory first and budget reformsecond.

House Republican leaders want it, too; that’swhy they adopted the debt ceiling delay. Theywound up as potted plants in the New Year’s fis-cal cliff deal when caucus members balked at the

speaker’s ideas. Now they’re back, breathingfire.But this tactic, three more months of gun-bar-

rel talks, rests almost entirely on the idea that amajority of American voters want every federalagency, program and farm subsidy cut without fail orfavor.

Do they? Do you?

See GUEBERT, pg. 5

South Central College’s Foundationis providing a one-day professionaldevelopment opportunity to assist areafarm families with keeping a finger onthe pulse of their dynamic industry.“New Tools for New Rules” Agricul-tural Symposium is a regional profes-sional development opportunitydesigned for all agricultural producers.New Tools brings world-class speakersto the campus of South Central Collegefor a day of cutting-edge presentationsand discussion. The event is scheduledfor 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Feb. 25.

South Central College, located at1920 Lee Boulevard in NorthMankato, Minn., will host all activitiesin its John Votca Conference Center.

Scheduled to appear are MichaelSwanson, Rick Dusek and David Kohl.

All are experts in their respectivefield and will introduce conference

attendees to the “new rules” facing21st century ag producers. They willalso be providing attendees with “newtools” to address these challenges,making them more productive andprofitable farm managers.

The principal sponsorship for “NewTools for New Rules” is provided byCHS and CHS Foundation.

Cost for the one-day symposium is$119 ($99 if you register by Feb. 15).All proceeds from “New Tools for NewRules” go toward agribusiness schol-arships and program advancement,as well as general support for thenon-profit SCC Foundation. Lunch isincluded in the ticket price.

For more information, contact TamiReuter, SCC Foundation executivedirector at (507) 389-7342. Log on towww.southcentral.edu/agsymposiumfor tickets. ❖

GUEBERT, from pg. 4You had better be

because, if House Republi-can leaders are to be taken at theirword, that’s the way they see thisthree-step, three-month battle ending.

Moreover, to make certain they haveyour attention, House GOP leadersalso announced they would approve a10-year balanced budget bill.

If that, too, is to be taken seriously,that means other tough nuts — likeSocial Security reform, Medicare cuts,the Pentagon budget, more farm pro-gram spending — will be on thebutcher block even as Congress fightsit out in current budget and debt limittalks.

One thing that won’t be cut in theseknife fights is crop insurance. It some-how (no one remembers exactly how)received White House protection inthe August 2011 budget deal.

Direct payment schemes and conser-vation programs, however, would likelyget sliced $4 billion and $2.4 billion,respectively, in a new 10-year farm bill.

House leaders had togulp, though, when Sen-

ate Democrats and theWhite House quickly agreed to thedebt extension deal.

They agreed because they knew thatnot even the tiniest element of theGOP’s big plans would survive a fullHouse vote without Democratic votes.As such, they, not GOP bosses, holdthe key to any final deal.

What that means is that rather thanwork out any debt-budget-entitlementreform package — and, possibly, afarm bill, too — this month, Congresswill waste another three months danc-ing around “manufactured crisis aftermanufactured crisis.”

And that carries the very real possi-bility of no 2013 farm bill in July, butanother 2008 farm bill extension inSeptember.

By TIM KINGThe Land Correspondent

Being a member of a cooperativegave Roger Pietron and his family anopportunity to get a better price forthe high-quality wild Alaska salmonthey catch each summer.

The Pietron family, who spend mostof the year near Little Falls, in Morri-son County, Minn., are co-founders ofUgashik Bay Salmon cooperative. Thecooperative is made up of a number offamilies who fish in Bristol Bay on thenorth side of the Alaska Peninsula.

Ugashik Bay is a bay within thelarger Bristol Bay. Both are part of theBering Sea. The 42-mile long UgashikRiver empties out of the tundra andinto Bristol Bay at Ugashik Bay. Rogersaid Ugashik Bay is a delta formed bythe Ugashik and two other rivers.

The sea, bay and river bring the

Pietron family to fish camp each Juneand July to capture the sockeye salmonas the fish return to the Ugashik, andother rivers, to spawn. Pietrondescribes the fish that come out of theBering’s cold depths as crowdingaround a river’s mouth to smell it. Theywant to find their birth river and goupstream, he said. Most years two tothree million salmon make a run onthe Ugashik and its spawning grounds.On very good years up to five millionfish will be in the spawning run.

“Game and Fish (the Alaska Depart-ment of Fish and Game) monitor itvery carefully,” he said.

To sustain the fishery, the state’s biolo-gists monitor what is called the escape-ment. Those are the fish that aren’tcaught and that reach the river. Salmonlay enough eggs so that only about athird of the run needs to reach the

spawning grounds in the lake at the endof the river.The biologists and their assis-tants actually are on the river monitor-ing the escapement while the Pietrons,and others, are out in thebay fishing. At times,during the season, fish-ermen are told to pull intheir nets to let morefish through. Pietronsaid the annualescapement rangesbetween 500,000 to1.2 million fish.

“Game and Fishannounce the fish-ing hours for theday on the publicradio,” Pietronsaid. “The notice ofthe opening can be as shortas a few hours. The average opening isabout eight hours and then you have topull your nets in and get off the water.Then you go back in the next day oryou may have to wait a couple days.”

Fishing and weather are variablewhile the fishermen are on the water.Sometimes the fish run heavy, in largeschools. As the crew pulls in the 300-footlong nets they remove salmon, and theoccasional flounder, from them. The fishare put into heavy waterproof bags filledwith ice and seawater. The bags are inthe bottom of the open 24-foot long boats.

“They come out of the water at a little

over 50 degrees,” Pietron said. “We getthem down below 40 as soon as possible.”

When the boats fill with fish they areloaded onto the ships that transportthem to processors. These transport

ships, known as tenders, areoften crabbing shipsbeing put to use intheir off-season.These tenders canhold well over 100,000of pounds of fish.“Once you have a

few thousand poundsin your boat you haveto deliver the fish to thetender or directly to theprocessing ship,” Pietronsaid. “They have cranesto take your fish. Theyweigh them and taketheir temperature. Then

the fish are placed in refrigerated water.If the weather is rough it can be prettyexciting to get your fish onto the tenderor processor. You have to be careful andyou have to keep track of things.”

Weather on the bay can be calm butit is also violent and often unpre-dictable. The Pietrons will quit fishingwhen wind speeds hit 45 miles anhour. Although they may be only athousand feet off shore, quitting fish-ing for the day is no simple matter.

See SALMON, pg 7

SALMON, from pg. 6Extremely high tides, commonly vary-ing 20 feet between high and low tide,can make approaching shore difficult orimpossible. A boat and its crew can gettrapped in the water, with winds occa-sionally as intense as 80 miles per hour.

“It’s not like central Minnesota,”Pietronsaid. “It’s often overcast and you can’t seethe weather coming. It can switch in justa few minutes. When that weather doescome you have to pull your nets in. Thatcan take an hour and a half. Then youhave to deliver your fish to the tender orprocessing ship.They are usually a coupleof miles away in deep water.”

It is difficult and demanding work,but two generations of Pietrons havebeen fishing Bristol Bay for threedecades. In the early years their pri-mary salmon market were the canner-ies. Pietron was never quite happywith that arrangement.

“We were catching these beautifulpremium quality fish and sendingthem to canneries,” he said. “Goingwith the co-op allowed us to maintaintop quality and to sell a premium fil-leted product.”

In 2010, the Pietrons formed theircooperative with nine other fishingfamilies. Ugashik Bay Salmon cooper-ative then entered into a joint venturewith Seattle-based seafood processorsto form Cape Greig LLC. One result ofthe collaboration was the purchase of a190-foot 1,134-ton floating processingship. The group renamed the ship the

Cape Greig. Cape Greig is also a capein Bristol Bay.

“They have a crew of up to 70 peo-ple,” Pietron said. “They clean the fishand freeze them quickly. Then thefrozen fish are transported to Seattleby freezer ship. Processing them soclose to where they were caught main-tains their high quality.”

The floating processor changed lifeon the bay for co-op members. TheCape Greig is also a floating grocerystore. It brings food and fuel to thePietrons’ fishing camp, which is milesfrom any services. It also provides pre-cious ice for the fishermen to maintainthe high quality of their fish.

Although most of the Pietrons’

salmon is sold through the coopera-tive’s marketing arrangement withCape Greig LLC, Pietron brings someback to Minnesota to market. Thesalmon, as well as Alaska cod, isavailable through a number of cooper-ative markets. Among them arenumerous Twin Cities food co-ops andthe Rochester, Brainerd and Bemidjifood co-ops. He also sells throughWhole Farm Cooperative in LongPrairie.

Salmon from Bristol Bay comesfrom the pure clean waters of theBering Sea and is both nutritious anddelicious. The Bristol Bay commercialsalmon fishery dates back to the late-19th century and the Pietron familyis proud to be part of that history.With continued careful managementthey will be able to bring Whole FarmCooperative customers wild-caughtBristol Bay salmon for years to come.

In fact, sustainable management ofAlaska’s fisheries is actually part ofthe state’s constitution. Alaskans takethat constitutional provision seri-ously and are recognized worldwidefor their sustainable fisheries prac-tices. As part of the top-to-bottom sys-tem of sustainable management thesalmon and cod from the Pietron fam-ily and their cooperative are certifiedsustainable by a third-party certifier.

Liz’s Pesto Recipe3 to 4 cups of fresh basil leaves1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil1/2 cup pine nuts2 to 4 cloves of garlic (depends on how garlicky

you want your pesto)1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt1 1/2 tsp. black pepperCoarsely chop the basil and garlic. Place all

ingredients except the oil in a food processor orblender with the basil and garlic. Pulse for aminute, and then slowly drizzle oil onto the dryingredients, as you continue pulsing the mixture.

Scrape down the sides and pulse again. Addadditional oil if needed until it reaches theconsistency you desire. (It should not be runny,but more of a paste.)

Take two pounds of a boneless salmon fillet(with the skin preferably) and slice into servingsizes. Lightly salt and pepper the fillets. Take atablespoon or so of pesto and smear it directly onthe flesh side of the salmon.

Grill preparation and cookingSeafood is a bit tricky, but don’t let it scare you.

If this is your first time, it is really important tobuy salmon with the skin on. Either way, set upthe grill with indirect heat, meaning there are hot

coals bunched on one side of the grill.Sprinkle the coals with wood chips. Once the

grate has been over the hot coals for a couple ofminutes, aggressively clean the hot portion with asteel brush. Spin the grate around and do thesame thing with the other side of the grate.

Take a wad of paper towel and drizzle olive oilon it. Wipe down both sides of the grate. Becareful, obviously the hot side will be very hot.The oil will help prevent the fish from sticking.

Place the salmon skin-side down on the coolside of the grill. Place the lid on the grill andallow to cook for 10 minutes or so. After 10minutes, move the salmon (with a high-qualityspatula) to the hot end of the grill, flesh sidedown. If flaming starts, place lid on grill. This willadd color and texture to the salmon. The key is tohandle the fish as little as possible until it isdone. This final stage will take no more than fiveminutes.

People driving throughthe countryside of ruralMinnesota have probablyseen a colorful billboardproclaiming “MinnesotaFarmers Care.”

Ken Floren of Litch-field, Minn., likens thosebillboards to “preachingto the choir” becausemost of the people travel-ing state and countyroads realize that Min-nesota farmers are goodstewards of their landand take good care oftheir animals.

Floren worked fulltime in the metropolitan area until heretired. “I was a weekend farmer withmy dad,” he said. “When I retired at 65years of age, I began farming fulltime.” He also joined the MeekerCounty Farm Bureau and serves asthe county’s promotion and educationchairman.

Early in 2012 his county FarmBureau board was discussing ways topromote agriculture by “preaching tothe audience.” While working in the

Minneapolis-St. Paul area for manyyears, Floren remembered seeing met-ropolitan transit buses moving aroundthe city with advertising banners ontheir sides. He suggested that puttingan agricultural message on buseswould reach the audience the boardwanted to reach: metropolitan con-sumers.

“We started kind of late,” Floren said,“but people at the Minnesota FarmBureau guided us to our goal.” A grant

from the Minnesota Farm BureauFoundation and donations from 22county Farm Bureaus provided themoney needed. As a result, the “Min-nesota Farmers CARE” message trav-

eled around Minneapolis and St. Paulon 33 to 49 buses for 16 weeks.

According to Titan Ad Agency ofMinneapolis, which carried out theproject, the bus-based messagereached “91.7 percent of the popula-tion 9.1 times with 17,482,400impressions.”

The program was one of 20 countyprojects recognized by the AmericanFarm Bureau Federation at its Janu-ary annual meeting in Nashville. Flo-ren and his wife, Adele, talked aboutthe program during the AFBF meet-ing. ❖

Even though economic strugglescontinue around the globe, the U.S.pork industry will still be a majorcompetitor in world meat production.“We’re as competitive as hog produc-

ers anywhere in the world,” accordingto Neil Dierks, CEO of the NationalPork Producers Council.

Crumbling live markets and higherfeed costs have squeezed profits totallyout of the picture for many swine produc-ers, however. Last season’s drought only

exacerbated the situation, Dierkssaid, and if that continues intothe 2013 season it poses seriousramifications, especially withcompetition likely from Brazil.

So what’s positive about theU.S. swine industry?

Infrastructure is a big one.“We’ve got roads and a highwaysystem that quickly and effortlessly letsus move production to markets. Brazilstill doesn’t,” Dierks said. But he’s con-cerned about severe regulations possiblyramping up in the hog industry. Alreadyindividual sow housing is banned inAustralia and the United Kingdom.

“That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t dothings right, but we need to guardagainst burdensome regulations,” hesaid. “We need to become more trans-parent to the American consumer con-trary to biosecurity issues.”

He acknowledged that Brazil appearsto be having a great crop productionyear. That could mean an increasinglivestock industry, hogs included. ButBrazil has some disease challengeswithin their hog industry that seems tobe slowing their export abilities.

Dierks suggested U.S. producersthink less about feed delivery issuesand more about what’s ahead in worldissues. He said that with 27 percent ofU.S. pork now being exported, the nextfarm bill has to avoid cataclysmicoccurrences in foreign trade. Thoseexports amounted to $55 per pig value.

That’s why elimination of duties onpork trucked to Mexico was such amajor achievement. Free trade agree-ments with Korea, Mexico and perhapsa growing number of Asian countriesare on the NPPC’s agenda. Dierks saidthe Japanese prime minister wants hiscountry included in the pending Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement. Dierkssees the TPPA as the biggest exportopportunity for the U.S. swine industry.

“We’ve got a world population spiking to8 billion and soon 9 billion. A growingquestion is how do we feed them? Does theU.S. have a moral responsibility to feedthe world?” Dierks asked. In 1972 theUnited States was the biggest supplier ofsoybeans into world trade.Also in 1970-75the U.S. imported more pork than itexported. It wasn’t until 1995 that the U.S.pork industry became a net exporter.

Along with those free trade agreementsis the importance of being a dependablesupplier. Plus food safety issues are nowinherent in food exports of any kind, porkincluded, Dierks said. He also noted thatthe Japanese farm lobby is strong. “But

you have to remember thatJapan is now a country of 130million people. Food security is abig deal over there but I don’tsuggest that issue will lessen the‘political power’ of the Japanesefarm sector.”

What’s the long-term impactof China on the U. S. swineindustry? For several years

China has been the largest pork pro-ducer in the world, and they do have astated goal of becoming self-sustainingin pork production for their huge popu-lation. But he thinks the challenge forChina will be not enough arable landto fulfill this ambition.

“Multiply the U.S. population byfour; then attempt to position all of theagricultural land in the U.S. into thearea east of the Mississippi River,”Dierks said. “That’s the density chal-lenge already faced in China.” Hethinks China will continue to be amarket for U.S. corn and soybeans butnot so for U.S. pork. His logic saysdebone our pork carcasses at U.S.packing plants and send containerpork to China rather than bulk ship-ments of corn and soybeans.

“It’s somewhat a transportation effi-ciency issue,” Dierks said. Even withincreasing incomes and more diversifiedtastes in the eating habits of the Chinesepeople,he doubts the United States will besupplying China with a quarter of theirpork. “Remember China is five times thesize of our pork industry. So just a 1-per-cent increase in domestic consumption ofU.S.pork in China would require 1/20th ofall our U.S. production. Anytime you mul-tiply 1.3 billion (China’s population) by 1percent it’s a big number.”

How does a stagnant world economyimpact the future of meats? He said theslowness seems to be having moreimpact in developed nations such as theUnited States and Europe. But in less-developed countries where incomeshave been increasing, the first trend forthose people is to improve their diet.“And that first improvement they typi-cally make is to increase protein in theirdiet, in the form of meat,” Dierks said.

He said that 2011 was a record yearof U.S. pork exports, and that it lookslike 2012 will set another record.“Tough going right now for pork pro-ducers, but long-term I’m optimistic,”Dierks said. “We’ll have internationalmarkets as long as some cataclysmicevent doesn’t happen.”

Dierks was interviewed at a Decem-ber meeting of the Minnesota Pork Pro-ducers Association. ❖

In view of the “golden years”of economic prosperity thatmuch of agriculture hasenjoyed the past three years,will the new Minnesota legis-lature be responsive to theconcerns of Minnesota agricul-ture this session?

Perhaps that’s a tough question tothrow at Minnesota’s Department ofAgriculture Commissioner Dave Fred-erickson. But this seasoned pro thriveson such challenges.

“Yes, these good times for agriculturelogically do impact the thinking of ourelected officials when they get into dis-cussions on ‘farm stuff,’” Fredericksonsaid, but he pointed out that the

budget and program activitiesof the MDA aren’t tied to howwell or how poorly Minnesotafarmers are doing.

“I’ve already had discussionswith numerous members of theLegislature,” he said. “I’ve satdown with most of the keycommittee chair people and Idon’t anticipate any real issues

as we budget the next two years of ourMDA activities.”

Some programs might come underscrutiny because we’re in a budgetsqueeze, Frederickson said — he sug-gested that all state departmentsshould shed some skin if that’s whatneeded to generate a balanced statebudget for the next biennium.

Issue of waterWhen questioned about the issue of

water quality and water usage, Freder-ickson said that water is likely to be acontentious issue if/when new bills areintroduced this session.Water was a focalpoint at the recent Minnesota OrganicConference, with noted University ofMinnesota Extension climatologist MarkSeeley pointing out that organic growerstoday are operating in a climate disparitytotally different than their predecessors.

Frederickson suggested it’s going to bea challenge to identify quantitativelythe culprits involved in water qualityissues. “But that doesn’t mean we won’thave those discussions,” he said. “TheMinnesota Department of Agriculture isengaged in a Minnesota Ag Water Qual-ity Certification program. This cuts

across all participants pulling togetherso that we don’t see regulations comedown hard on farmers.

“This is going to be a voluntary pro-gram asking that producers step upand collectively work with MDA. Wewill make every effort to meet thechallenge and in the process assurewater quality for all Minnesotans.But for that certainty let’s focus onBMPs (best management practices)that will be good not only for this sea-son but for future generations.”Growing conference

His take on the 2013 MinnesotaOrganic Conference? “Well, it justgets bigger each year,” Fredericksonsaid. “I can’t tell you where we rank

FREDERICKSON, from pg. 11across the nation. Each of the stateshas programs in organic farming butit’s the nature of Minnesota to beleading in organic agriculture.

So how big is organic farming inMinnesota? Doug Hartwig, MinnesotaAgricultural Statistics director, saidthat according to the U.S. Departmentof Agriculture’s Economic ResearchService the state had 543 farms(133,393 acres) certified for organicproduction in 2011. NationwideUSDA data shows 12,941 organicfarms. California leads the pack with2,887 farms; second is Wisconsin with1,016 certified organic farms.

“Ten years ago this event was held ina local Motel 6 but here we are in thebeautiful River’s Edge ConferenceCenter in St. Cloud. Over 70 exhibitors

in the trade show and speakers andpeople from across the Midwest. This isa very positive, very optimistic environ-ment. You can tell more and more peo-ple are getting excited about the futureof organic food production.”Rising tide

Frederickson said the mood of Min-nesota farmers these days is good.“There’s been a lot of new wealth cre-ated in rural Minnesota and you knowthat when farmers have ‘new money’

in their pockets, it generally getsspent. But we also recognize with cau-tion what’s going on with land values,with input costs and the increasingcomplexities of farmland transitionfrom one generation to the next.”

As the MDA chief he’s concernedabout the economic imbalance cur-rently between crop farmers and thelivestock industry. He’s of the “oldschool” that free markets determinewhere we should be, so he’s hopefulthat “the rising tide will lift all boats”— meaning livestock prices will go up.

He said that 25 years ago farmerswere being criticized for complainingabout farm income. But that’s whensome farmers with vision and leader-ship decided that an ethanol industrywas one way to prop up the corn indus-try. Minnesota rapidly became thefocus of the value-added cooperativemovement across America.

Increased exportsFrederickson also credits a strong and

growing export market for Minnesotaagricultural products. Today nearly halfof all Minnesota soybeans get sold over-seas; with pork it’s now about 27 percentto foreign markets. He speaks of thethree-legged stool of Minnesota agricul-ture: ethanol, exports and livestock. He’svisiting Taiwan soon, hoping to makethe country more aware of Minnesotaagricultural and food products.

“This small country imports 90 per-cent of their food needs. They have athriving economy. They are a brightstar in this growing Southeast Asiaeconomy. So we’re hoping they’ll cometo Minnesota and make a majorannouncement about purchasing Min-nesota commodities, be that cerealgrains, soybeans, pork or beef products.”Big business

Frederickson pointed out thatbesides the state’s 81,000 farms, Min-nesota has nearly 1,000 agriculturaland food companies and the state hasseveral privately held firms with anagricultural focus on Forbes’ list ofAmerica’s largest private companies.

Frederickson was interviewed at theJan. 11-12 Minnesota Organic Confer-ence in St. Cloud. ❖

(We) recognize with caution what’s going on with landvalues, with input costs and the increasing complexitiesof farmland transition from one generation to the next.

— Dave Frederickson

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

With nearly 20 percent of Minnesota’s landscapenow owned by the state’s Department of NaturalResources, it seems somewhat logical that cattlemen— who are getting squeezed for pasture land, becausegrowing corn generates more bucks — should havegreater access to DNR land for summer grazing.

The Grazing Lands Conservation Association hada booth at the recent Minnesota Organic Conferencein St. Cloud. The Land talked with GLCA presidentClarence Caraway.

Q: Is the DNR still acquiring land?Caraway: Yes, as farmers get older and decide to

discontinue farming, turning land to DNR for con-version to “native prairie” is pretty appealing. AndDNR pays pretty well.

Q: Any problems with this trend?Caraway: Yes, we don’t have native buffalos roam-

ing the prairie anymore. You need livestock on thisland to keep it healthy. I’m talking keeping the soilactive, growing and even helpful for the deer.

Q: How does that work?Caraway: Every time a hoofed animal steps it

makes an impression in that soil. And that’s not com-paction. That’s bringing light and oxygen to a deeperpart of the soil; not just the surface. This “churningup” of the soil puts life into the soil. You’ve created anatmosphere for the microbiological “bugs” in the soilto work better and that in turn increases the vegeta-tive growth. In essence, you’re increasing the produc-tivity of the soil.

Q: So how many acres have DNR now permit-ted to livestock producers for grazing? What’sthe charge?

Caraway: It varies from area to area. There’s noset policy nor is there a set rental rate. But I do knowthat Mark Hayek, the Natural Resources Conserva-tion Service grazing specialist at Thief River Falls,Minn., has about 15,000 acres of DNR land now

fenced and into cattle grazing production. Rentalsvary considerably but $30 to $60 per acre wouldlikely capture most.

Q: How does DNR qualify persons for “usage”of their land?

Caraway: DNR doesn’t want anyone using theland that sets the land backwards. They want userswho can increase the production of this land. We’vetaken DNR land and established paddocks, bothgrazed and ungrazed paddocks, side by side, andthen set up motion cameras. What did the camerashow us? The wildlife followed the livestock. Thedeer, the rabbits, the fowl followed the livestock.There was no wildlife in those paddocks that weren’tgrazed.

Q: And why is this happening?Caraway: Because the vegetation in the non-

grazed paddocks had no feed value. You’re talkingweeds, buck brush and rough vegetation that justdidn’t interest wildlife. Put cattle or sheep on thesegrounds and the “junk vegetation” disappears andyou soon start having productive soils growing good-tasting forages.

Q: So why doesn’t DNR make more land avail-able for grazing?

Caraway: They are but it moves slowly. It’s easy tobe overly protective but in the process ignore the realbenefits. It’s somewhat true, too, that DNR has somuch land that they can’t monitor it properly. We’remaking progress. We need to pool our collectiveknowledge and work together.

Local Corn and Soybean Price Index

Grain AnglesKeep corn-on-cornyield drag in mind

The winter weather this year has been atypical forMinnesota.

The lack of significant snowfall for much of thestate has left many fields uncovered and subject tothe harsh winds. More concerning is the dry condi-tions that exist in many of thegrowing areas of the state.

Informa, a private researchfirm, is forecasting that U.S.farmers will plant 99.303 millionacres of corn this spring. Addi-tionally, they are forecasting that78.777 million acres of soybeanswill be planted. We expect thatthe 76 million acres that were insoybeans last year will be plantedto corn. This leaves 23 millionacres that will have to be takenfrom other crops or planted ascorn-on-corn.

These continuous crop corn acres could be subjectto a yield drag of 10 to 15 bushels per acre. So if oneis normally growing 185 bu./acre corn, they could belooking at a yield of 175 to 170 bu./acre yields. Thisyield drag at current new crop prices would reducerevenue by $60 to $90/acre.

The cost of production would also be higher onthese acres as they would require more tillage, fer-tilizer and root worm protection. These extra costscould run from $60 to $90/acre more than the tradi-tional corn-soybean rotation. As margin manage-ment calculations are prepared, it’s important toaccount for these extra costs along with the lowerrevenue.

With the current dry soil conditions and the poten-

Grain OutlookCorn rallies on South

American cropThe following market analysis is for the week end-

ing Feb. 1.CORN — Corn clicked higher four straight days

before seeing a little profit-taking heading into theweekend.

March corn broke through theshort term $7.35 resistance mid-week as rain forecasts forArgentina and southern Brazilwere curtailed. The perceptionthat the corn crop in SouthAmerica may still be shrinkingand the on-going increase inopen interest in a rising marketwere contributors to the rally.

Informa Economics this weekpegged Brazilian corn productionat 70.3 million metric tons, anincrease of 4.1 mmt from their pre-vious report and versus the U.S.Department of Agriculture’s 71 mmt. For Argentina,they are expecting a 25 mmt crop, a decrease of 2 mmtfrom their last number and compared to the USDA’s 28mmt forecast. Argentina’s corn harvest is projected tobe 5 percent complete by March 1.

Although the Environmental Protection Agency wassupposed to release the 2013 Renewable Fuels Standardmandate back in November, they finally got around to itthis week.They have opened a 45-day comment period onthe new proposed volumes which included total renew-able fuels at 16.55 billion gallons (15.22 billion last year),2.75 billion gallons of advanced biofuels, biomass-baseddiesel of 1.28 billion and cellulosic biofuels at 14 milliongallons. Conventional biofuel, usually ethanol made fromcorn, would be mandated at 13.8 billion gallons.

Livestock AnglesCattle market erratic lately

It has been a rocky and erratic January in the live-stock trade.

Both cattle and hog markets have had their upsand downs in price movement. As Februaryapproaches, both of these markets will continue tosee a lot of volatility and pricemovement in both directions.

The cattle market has been par-ticularly erratic as of late. After afairly quick and large decline inprices, the market now appearsto be stabilizing. A drop in beefcutouts plus the closing of a beefpacking plant in Plainview,Texas, precipitated the rapiddecline in prices on both thefutures and cash.

However, on Jan. 25, the U.S.Department of Agriculturereleased a monthly Cattle-on-Feed Report which indicated the following as of Jan.1: on-feed, 94 percent; placed during December, 99percent; marketed in December, 98 percent. Thisreport was seen as friendly as placements were belowpre-report guesses, while the marketed number wasabove expectations.

The cash and futures had already begun to recoverfrom the recent sell-off before the report, but this willadd to the bullish sentiment. With the beef cutoutsnow below $190 per hundredweight, the question willbecome will demand resurface and eventually pushprices higher. For the short term this is entirely pos-sible. However with the advent of the increase ofadditional taxes and the decline of disposableincome, the consumer will be squeezed making less

NYSTROM, from pg. 15Weekly ethanol production once again

set a record low at 770,000 barrels perday, down 22,000 from a week ago. Thanks to decliningproduction, implied ethanol margins were a dime in theblack this week, the highest level since September.

Weekly corn sales held no surprises at 7.4 millionbushels or 187,000 mt when we need almost 16 millionbushels per week to achieve the USDA forecast.We haveonly sold the average needed three out of 21 weeks ofthis marketing year. New crop sales were 2.6 millionbushels. Corn continues to be a domestic-oriented mar-ket with exports less than half of last year at this pointin the marketing year. The USDA is projecting yearlyexports to be down 38 percent at 950 million bushels.

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange Groupannounced this week that trading hours on theChicago Board of Trade will be shortened inresponse to complaints the longer hours diluted thevolume and made the market subject to highervolatility. They also suggested they are open to halt-ing trade around USDA reports, if all exchangeswould follow suit. The IntercontintentalExchangehas stated they have no desire to do so.

A little bit of history for new crop: December cornhas traded higher than its January high in 19 out ofthe last 20 years. December’s high in January thisyear was $5.95 per bushel.

OUTLOOK: Corn added more South Americanweather premium into the market as it moved into ahigher bracket this week with March corn settling at

$7.36, up 15 1/4 cents for the week afterhitting a new high for the move at $7.46

1/4; December corn was up 8 1/4 cents at$5.92 1/2 per bushel. The $7.35 resistance now becomessupport with $7.65/$7.67 the next upside target area.

For the month of January, corn was up 6.2 percentof value. Bottom line — South American weather,technical strength and increasing open interest asnew buyers enter the market are factors to keep aneye on any signals the uptrend is being threatened.If corn begins to falter, a revisit to the low $7.20swouldn’t be out of line.

SOYBEANS — The soybean rally this week wasdirected by continuing concern over the size ofArgentina’s soybean crop.

Amounts and coverage during the last week of Feb-ruary were disappointing. It seems like every timewe get to the time frame for rain, it moves fartherout, like the carrot in front of the horse.

March soybeans closed at $14.74 1/4, a gain of 331/4 cents for the week; November beans were up 291/2 cents at $13.32 1/2 per bushel. In January, Marchsoybeans were up 3.5 percent of value.

China continued to buy new crop U.S. soybeans,purchasing 615,000 mt this week. Weekly exportsales were 14.2 million bushels or 386,000 mt for oldcrop and 31.8 million bushels for new crop. Nextweek’s new crop sales should also be impressivebased on China’s purchases this past week.

We now have sold 91 percent of what the USDA sayswe will ship this year and only need to sell 6.2 millionper week to hit the USDA target.Total bean sales are up27 percent over last year versus the USDA’s forecastthat exports will be down 1 percent year on year.

Brazil’s bean crop was estimated by Informa Econom-ics at 84 mmt, up 1.1 mmt from their previous projec-tion and versus the USDA’s estimate of 82.5 mmt.

Brazil’s harvest has begun in a few regions of the coun-try (3 percent complete by Jan. 25 this year versus 4percent normally complete by Feb. 1), but most areasare in the pod setting and pod-filling stage.

Chatter about damage caused by too much rain innorthern Brazil surfaced during the week, but thus farhasn’t been widespread. They cut Argentina’s produc-tion by 3.9 mmt to 54.5 mmt when the USDA is fore-casting 54 mmt. Argentina’s harvest usually starts inearly March with 15 percent harvested by April 1.

Logistics in Brazil are already commanding a lengthywait time for loading.There were 126 vessels waiting to beloaded with either corn or soybeans, when only 72 werewaiting last year at this time and 47 were in line two yearsago.There is the possibility that the situation could extendthe time frame for U.S. bean export sales since the waittime to load in Brazil is already 35 days at the Port of San-tos, the country’s biggest port. Harvest-delaying rain innorthern Brazil may increase logistical problems.

OUTLOOK: South American weather conditionswill be closely watched for direction, as well aswhen/if export demand begins to taper off. We need aseamless transition to the South American shippingseason and no further concerns with their produc-tion since the United States has an extremely tightcarryout situation. This scenario suggests setbackswill be well supported.

Short-term support in March soybeans is $14.44,then $14.08 3/4; resistance is $15.01 1/4, then $15.45per bushel; the uptrend is intact.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week end-ing Feb. 1: Minneapolis wheat fell 13 1/4 cents,Chicago wheat dropped 11 1/2 cents and Kansas Citywheat was down 6 1/4 cents. March crude oil rose$1.89 to $97.77, heating oil was up over 11 cents, gaso-line jumped 16 1/4 cents higher, and natural gas fell19 1/2 cents. The U.S. dollar was down 0.621 for theweek at 79.127. The Dow traded over 14,000 this weekfor the first time since October 2007. The next USDAreport will be released Feb. 8 with the Ag OutlookForum following on Feb. 21-22 in Washington, D.C.

TEALE, from pg. 15likely that demandwill substantiallyincrease.

Producers shouldtake heed in the factthat inventories ofcattle are on thedecline, but at thesame time demandfor beef is also on thedecline. Therefore,price protection should not be over-looked when opportunity presentsitself.

The hog market has been a bit morestable than the cattle market of late.

Hog prices havebeen improvingoverall since thelow made in Sep-tember. The hogsappear to bedriven by arenewed demandfor pork prod-ucts, and packershave been fairlyaggressive inbidding for live

inventory over the past few months.Pork cutouts have been stable to ris-

ing and the volume in pork producthas been extremely good reflecting inthe stronger prices since September.

Hog numbers seem tohave declined duringthis period and with thecold weather this has combined toreduce the available numbers readyfor market.

Comparing beef cutouts to porkcutouts, it is no surprise that the valuein meat is slanted toward the porkproducts. Considering the slow eco-nomic conditions that exist, theretailer and the consumer have moved

more toward the porkproducts to capture thebetter value pork.

While the outlook for hog prices looksrelatively good, the fact that demandcould shift once again to another pro-tein source could limit how far pricescan advance.

Producers should remain aware ofmarket conditions and protect inven-tories as warranted. ❖

NEHER, from pg. 15tial for another dry growing season, it’simportant to consider the drought tol-erance of corn and soybeans. Would theyield drag be significantly larger oncorn-on-corn acres in dry growing con-ditions, than it would be with corngrown in the corn-soybean rotation?The answer is a resounding “yes.” Theyield drag would be significantly largeron corn grown continuously, year-to-year in a drought.

As I ran the numbers through mymargin manager calculator, it alwayslooked like the profitability was ingrowing corn over soybeans. Yet, whenI run the yield drag numbers and the

higher cost of production into my calcu-lator the advantage to corn starts toslip away on these corn-on-corn acres.This is the case even before I try to fac-tor in the additional yield drag in drygrowing conditions.

So the question begs to be asked: willU.S. farmers really plant 99.303 mil-lion acres of corn? If they make theirplanting decisions by the numbers, theanswer may be no. Yet many makeplanting decisions by what they like togrow and what worked last year. Farm-ers like to grow corn and they made abundle of money growing it last year.Crop insurance also provides a sense ofsecurity in growing corn. Only timewill tell. ❖

The January federal order Class IIImilk price begins 2013 on a down notealthough it’s the highest January pricein five years. The U.S. Department ofAgriculture announced the benchmarkprice at $18.14 per hundredweight,down 52 cents from December but$1.09 above January 2012, equates toabout $1.56 per gallon, and $2.30above California’s comparable 4b price.The FO Class IV price is $17.63, down20 cents from December, $1.07 above ayear ago, and appears to be the highestJanuary Class IV price ever.

The four-week, Agricultural Market-ing Service-surveyed cheese price usedin calculating the FO prices averaged$1.7485 per pound, down 4.4 cents fromDecember. Butter averaged $1.5066,down 9.2 cents. Nonfat dry milk aver-

aged $1.5601, up 2.2 cents,and dry whey averaged 65.03cents, down 1.1 cents.

California’s 4b price wasannounced by the CaliforniaDepartment of Food and Agri-culture at $15.84/cwt., down46 cents from December but$1.61 above a year ago.The 4abutter-powder price is $17.08,down 39 cents from Decemberand 90 cents above a year ago.The prices do not includethe state’s temporaryincrease in milk pricesbecause the increase onlyruns February through May.

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange cashcheese prices portend further milk pricedeclines ahead although the block priceclosed Feb. 1 at $1.6450/lb., unchanged onthe week. It has lost 11.5 cents since Jan. 1

but is still 16 cents above ayear ago.The barrels lost moreground this week but recov-ered some of the loss, closingFriday at $1.5425, down 3cents on the week, 4.75 centsabove a year ago, down 16.75cents on the year, and 10.25below the blocks. One car ofblock and 12 of barrel weresold on the week.The AMS-surveyed U.S. average blockprice slipped to $1.7353, down

0.9 cent, while the barrelsaveraged $1.7081, down1.9 cents.

Increased milk supplies in the Midwestand East have pushed cheese plants toraise production schedules, according tothe Dairy Market News. But, theincreased supplies and lower prices areattracting attention from export buyers.

Spot butter closed the week at$1.5550, up a nickel on the week and

6.25 cents above a year ago. Twelvecars found new homes on the week andthe AMS surveyed butter averagegained 2.2 cents, hitting $1.5011.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closedat $1.52, down a penny on the week,and Extra Grade remained at $1.56.AMS powder averaged $1.5492, down2.2 cents, and dry whey averaged 65.39cents, up a penny.

Butter manufacturers indicate cream isstill ample, the DMN reports. Internallygenerated cream as well as cream comingfrom Class II operations is moving throughthe churns and into bulk butter invento-ries. Central region churning is especiallyactive as spot loads from the East and theWest are clearing through the Midwest.Retail demand is light, the DMN said.

MIELKE MARKETWEEKLY

By Lee Mielke

See MIELKE, pg. 19

MIELKE, from pg. 18December but 5.5 percenthigher than January 2012.The January all milk price of $20/cwt. was down 90cents from last month but $1 higher than a year ago.The corn price, at $6.98 per bushel, was 11 centshigher than last month and 91 cents above a year ago.The all hay price, at $191 per ton, was down $1 fromDecember but $19 higher than last January.

Cooperatives Working Together accepted 30requests for export assistance this week to sell 7.6million pounds of cheese, 1.2 million pounds of butterand 44,092 pounds of whole milk powder to cus-tomers in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, NorthAfrica and Oceania. The product will be deliveredthrough June and put CWT’s year-to-date cheeseexports at 14.6 million pounds, 9.8 million pounds ofbutter and 88,185 pounds of whole milk powder.

In dairy politics, dairy processors met in Orlandothis week for their 28th annual Dairy Forum. ConnieTipton, president and CEO of the International DairyFoods Association, said the dairy industry “stands onthe verge of a new era filled with enormous opportu-nity and unlimited potential.” Saying that future suc-cess hinges on all stakeholders taking steps together,Tipton called for industry collaboration on renewedefforts to phase out federal milk pricing regulationsand new legislation that would change the federalstandards of identity for dairy products.

She warned that changes in administration policyare unlikely and told attendees to expect more regu-lations for the food industry, more rules for schoolmeals, more labeling requirements and possiblyrestrictions on marketing to children.

Tipton called innovation the industry’s “lifeblood”and warned that, for innovation and growth to con-tinue, the industry needs an abundant supply of farmmilk. She warned, however, that the combination ofvolatile dairy feed costs, farm milk prices, the U.S.biofuel policy and a major drought have caused a“quadruple whammy. ... Going forward, one thing isfor sure. The conventional thinking that milk willalways be there when we want it has to change.”

Another area requiring change, Tipton said, is gov-ernment regulations that “continue to hinder industry’sefforts to innovate and grow.” She charged that “federalmilk pricing regulations, food standards and otherlaws, some of which date back to the 1930s, have notkept pace with the times.” She proposed “workingtogether as an industry to provide greater product flexi-bility and innovation and collaborating on ways toremove ‘the shackles’ of milk pricing regulation.”

■

Dairy Business Update’s Dave Natzke reported inhis Feb. 1 DairyLine report that the USDA’s FarmService Agency announced additional details regard-ing the so-called “start month relief period” for largerdairy producers. He said that those producers, as wellas any new dairy farmers who wish to enroll in theMilk Income Loss Contract, should contact their localFSA office before Feb. 28 to do the appropriate paper-work. The FSA also announced that retroactive MILCpayments for September 2012 milk marketings, atapproximately 59 cents/cwt., will be sent to dairy

farmers beginning about Feb. 5.■

Back on the national scene, “U.S. milk produc-tion in 2012 was marked by distinct growth and con-traction periods and regional differences,” said DailyDairy Report editor Mary Ledman. Ledman wroteabout it in her Jan. 25 issue and reported details onher website’s Daily Dairy Discussion.

She said DDR analysts used national and stateincome-over-feed calculations to “shed light on thetrends seen this past year and what may come in 2013.”She pointed to the income-over-feed calculation, basedon the USDA’s milk-feed price ratio, subtracting the perhundredweight value of a feed ration that consists of 51percent corn, 41 percent alfalfa and 8 percent soybeans

from the All Milk Price. Based on USDA’s AgriculturalPrices, which reflect prices received by farmers for corn,soybeans, and alfalfa; Second Quarter 2012 was thelowest income-over-feed period of the year at$4.47/cwt., followed by Third Quarter at $5.44.

Correspondingly, the greatest contraction in theU.S. dairy herd occurred between March and Sep-tember when cow numbers fell 71,000. In retrospect,Fourth Quarter 2012 provided the most favorableincome-over-feed level at $8.90/cwt., with each of thesurveyed states also having their best showing.

Within a small group ofintroductions and privateconversation I learned thatGrace, a worship leader thatI greatly admire, has beenleading worship with Colleensince 1981. Within their 32years of music ministry thesebeautiful women have hadseven children (collectively),11 recordings and countlesswonderful praise and wor-ship events. The longevity oftheir commitment is inspir-ing and, in a word, rare.

Grace acknowledged it by saying thatwords like perseverance, longevity andendurance are not popular in our cul-ture. She’s right. We live in an age thatwhen the goinggets tough, thetough move on.They shop for dif-ferent neighbor-hoods, spouses,jobs and churches.If you’re unhappyyou get out ofDodge rather thanstay put and make an unpleasant placebetter. If it looks greener on the otherside of the fence, you move instead ofrealizing that your circumstances aregreen pastures to someone else. Trulyit’s a sad commentary that we’re mod-eling for the next generation.

On the six-hour drive home after myconversation with Grace I gave ourwords deeper thought. One of the excep-tions to the run-when-things-get-toughis farming. There are Century Farmswhen a single family continuously ownsa farm for 100 years or more. Plus someregions have Sesquicentennial Farms(150 years) and Bicentennial Farms (200years) programs. This is longevity. Thisis exemplary in our transient culture.

Is there a time to move on? There cer-tainly is, but it shouldn’t be founded onour discomfort level. Instead it shouldbe based on motives. Are we moving onbecause we’re looking for escape orbecause we know that we’re beingnudged, called and moved to the nextthing within the story we’re writing

with our lives? There’s adifference. Is the move forpersonal comfort or out ofprayerful, thoughtful stepsto the next phase of ourlives for the benefit andblessing of others?

In word pictures that farmfamilies can easily identifywith Dennis and BarbaraRainey wrote, “Pullingweeds and planting seeds.That’s the story of life. Weare individual lots on which

either weeds of selfishness or fruit of theHoly Spirit grows and flourishes.”

When we make our choices to stay orto go, to invest or to bail, to stay put orget out of Dodge, what is our heart

motive? Are weselfishly seekingeasy street or arewe looking atwhat’s best for oth-ers — especiallythe next genera-tion? Pastor andbest selling authorRick Warren

writes, “Don’t be wishing you were some-place else or with someone else. Whereyou are right now is God’s place for you.”

If you can invest in more lives, domore good and bless more people bymaking a change in your life: Go! Thosewho are initially disappointed in yourchoice will support you in time. Even ifthey don’t, you’ll have peace that youdid what was right because you’ll soclearly see it in the new chapter thatHe writes with your story.

There is a time to plant seeds and atime to uproot, a time to stay put and atime to leave. Seek wise counsel. Exam-ine your heart and its motives. Thinkabout the story your choice will writefor this generation and the next. Andthen choose. As has been wisely said,“Nobody can go back and start a newbeginning, but anyone can start todayand make a new ending.”

Like all hunters, SamGore and Jack Zimmermanof Cleveland, Minn., ClaytonHoen of Madison Lake,Minn., and Jason McNa-mara, Luke Weinandt andMike McLaughlin ofMankato, Minn., share acommon bond in their loveof the outdoors.

But when the young mentraveled together to Ply-mouth, Mass., earlier thisyear to hunt sea ducks, they shared yetone more special bond: All of themreceived either combat-related or serv-ice-related injuries during their mili-tary service.

The six men, along with local guidesfrom the area, hunted for two days inthe area for brandt and eider.

“Eiders are about the size of a smallCanada goose but they’re fast,”McLaughlin said. “They’re so big itdoesn’t seem like they’re flying thatfast.”

Nevertheless, the Midwesternhunters soon caught on to the unfamil-iar waterfowl. Over two days of hunt-ing, everyone shot limits of both brandtand eiders.

They also did some sight-seeing along

the coast and dropped in ata local American Legion postwhere they were invited bylocal vets to participate in aweekly poker tournament.

The group traveled to theCape Cod Bay area throughthe Wounded WarriorsGuide Service, an organiza-tion with the mission of con-necting wounded veteranswith hunting and other out-door activities.

A local chapter of Wounded Warriorswas formed last November by area vet-erans.

“There was a Wounded Warriorschapter in Bemidji andon one in North Dakota,”McLaughlin said. “Someof us were invited lastyear to a group metrogoose hunt by theBemidji Chapter anddecided it would be agood thing to form achapter down here.”

McLaughlin, whoserved two tours of dutyin Iraq as a Marine andwas diagnosed with posttraumatic stress syn-drome, said spendingtime in a hunting blindis always special butsharing it other vets whohave endured the samecombat experiences isparticularly cathartic.

“It’s something whereyou really don’t needwords when you’re outthere,” he said. “Youdon’t ask too many ques-tions, you know to askjust enough. Being outthere is kind of a mentalmassage — you come

back refreshed.”Zimmerman, who was severely

wounded by an improvised explosivedevice in 2011 while serving inAfghanistan with the U.S. Army,echoed McLaughlin’s sentiments aboutshared experiences.

“It’s about getting back to old hobbiesand passions you were no longer ableto do,” he said. “Going out with guyswho have the same past experiences,you can tackle just about anything.”

Quick question: Who among usshould really eat more vegetables?

Answer: Probably all of us. Evenmany vegetarians don’t eat enoughvegetables. (After all, most junk foodis meatless.) It’s not that hard to do,but somehow we just don’t.

With those two facts in mind — weshould eat more veggies, but don’t — anew cookbook, “Eat Your Vegetables”by Arthur Potts Dawson (OctopusBooks), proposes to help us out by pre-senting simple, interesting and inspir-ing vegetable dishes we can all relateto. Most everything that comes out ofthe ground turns into comfort food in

Dawson’s capable hands,and veggies often becomethe stars of the plateinstead of being rele-gated to side-dish status.

Here are some samplerecipes to whet yourappetite and get youthinking about your nextgrocery list.

Fancy steak housesoften serve creamedspinach with their high-priced meals, and if youtaste this next dish youwill see why. The slightlybitter flavor of spinach is mellowed by the cream sauce and sea-

sonings, making a perfect pairing withred meats, especially a really goodsteak.Creamed Spinach with Garlic andShallots

3 tablespoons olive oil2 shallots, finely chopped2 garlic cloves, finely chopped4 pounds 8 ounces raw spinachJuice of one lemon1/2 teaspoon salt1 cup heavy creamPepperHeat the olive oil in a large saucepan,

and cook the shallots and garlic overmedium heat for 5 minutes, stirringfrequently. Meanwhile, wash thespinach well in cold water, drain andshake off the excess water, then

roughly chop. Add the spinachto the pan, increase the heatand cook, stirring well, until theliquid has evaporated. Thespinach will be cooked at thisstage.

Squeeze in the lemon juice,then add the salt and cream.Season with pepper and cookfor about 5 minutes, until thecream has slightly thickened.Serve hot, but I’ve eaten thiscold as a leftover, and it’swicked that way, too.

■

The author suggests the nextrecipe for a variety of greens. Iused spinach instead of green

curly kale for marvelous results. Boththe cooking method and the strong sea-sonings temper the bitterness you mayhave experienced with leafy greensbefore. Next time I’m going to throw insome diced bacon or smoked ham. Fourout of four “yums” from the Johnson testkitchen.Braised Curly Kale with Garlic and SoySauce

1 pound 2 ounces green curly kale3 tablespoons virgin olive oil1 teaspoon chopped fresh red chili1 garlic clove, chopped2 teaspoons light soy sauceSalt and pepperRemove any yellowing bits or tough

stalks from the kale, then reserve the

COOKBOOK, from p. 24leaves in cold water. Bring a large saucepan of waterto a boil and season with salt. Drain the kale, add tothe pan, and cook for 6 minutes. Drain again andkeep warm. Heat the olive oil in a skillet, add thechili and garlic, and fry gently for about 3 minutes,until the garlic begins to brown. Immediately put thecooked kale into the pan and stir well. Season lightlywith pepper and the soy sauce, and cook for 4 min-utes, stirring frequently. Serve warm.

The idea behind Kohl Slaw (which is just like regu-lar cole slaw but calls for kohlrabi instead of cabbageas the main ingredient) is to mix up a three-veg-etable-and-mayo slaw, then add whatever accouter-ments you like. In this case, the author added hisfavorites: capers, pomegranate seeds and pine nuts.Use whatever combination of salty, sour, sweet andnutty you desire.Kohl Slaw

14 ounces kohlrabi7 ounces carrots7 ounces white cabbage6 tablespoons mayonnaise2 tablespoons capers in vinegar, drained4 tablespoons pomegranate seeds2 tablespoons pine nutsSalt and pepperSlice the kohlrabi and carrots into very thin match-

sticks. Slice the cabbage very thinly, too. Put all thevegetables into a mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise,

season with salt and pepper, and mix together well.Sprinkle in half the capers, pomegranate seeds andpine nuts and mix again, taking care not to crush thepomegranate seeds. Divide the kohl slaw betweenserving dishes, then sprinkle with the remainingcapers, seeds and nuts.

Dawson’s Caesar Salad takes you into the processof making authentic Caesar salad dressing, whichinvolves little canned fishes called anchovies that youprobably think you hate but you really don’t, espe-cially when they’re mixed with all sorts of other deli-cious things. The anchovies are what gives Caesardressing its signature tang, so just get a can and givethem a shot. They are extremely salty, so if you test-taste one, be prepared.Chicken Caesar Salad

Dressing4 anchovy fillets3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese2 egg yolks2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce1 garlic cloveJuice of 1 lemon3/4 cup olive oilSalt and pepperSalad2 chicken breastsOlive oil, for drizzling1 French baguette3 hard-boiled eggs2 heads of Romaine lettuce

6 tablespoons salted capers, soaked in cold waterfor 10 minutes, drained and squeezed dry

4 ounces Parmesan cheese shavingsPreheat the oven to 375 F. For the dressing, put all

the ingredients except the olive oil into a blenderand blend until you have a smooth paste. With themotor still running, drizzle in the oil, not too muchto start with, but adding it more rapidly as the mix-ture thickens. Check for seasoning and set aside.

Put the chicken breasts in a roasting pan, drizzlewith olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.Roast for 25 minutes. Cut the bread into 3/4-inchchunks, spread out on a baking sheet, and drizzlewith olive oil. Bake for 6-8 minutes until goldenbrown, turning once or twice during cooking, thenallow to cool. Shell the eggs and cut into quarters.Separate the lettuce leaves, trim, then wash and dryin a salad spinner. Place in large bowl. Cut thechicken into large chunks and put into lettuce bowl.Add the baguette croutons, capers and eggs. Pour inmost of the dressing and delicately mix together.Plate the salad, sprinkle with the Parmesan shav-ings and drizzle with the last of the dressing.

WOUNDED, from pg. 23Indeed, in spite of his wounds which included the loss

of both legs and a severely damaged right hand, the avidhunter has participated in several hunts throughWounded Warriors and similar organizations, includinga trip out west where he bagged a six-by-six bull elk.

But he said the Wounded Warriors Guide Servicehas offered some practical advantages, as well.

“I met a guy through Wounded Warriors whose lefthand was damaged,” he said. “Now when I buy gloves,I send him my right hands, he sends me his lefts.”

The East Coast hunt came about through connec-tions that Mankato Chapter President LukeWeinandt made with local guides while visiting rela-tives about a year ago.

Now, after getting the groundwork completed tohold the inaugural hunt, plans are to make theadventure an annual event that can be offered toother area wounded veterans through the localWounded Warriors chapter.

Since it’s not just the veterans themselves who feelthe effects of combat injuries, he said that in thefuture, the group has plans for outdoor events tobring families together as well.

After Super Bowl Sunday, your weekends are sud-denly wide open and empty.

No more extra televisions in the living room. No moreSunday snack-binging. You’ve put away your make-up,your lucky shirts and the hats that no team can winwithout. It’s enough to make a grown (wo)man cry.

Yes, football season is over for you. But for 32men, the end of one season signals the beginnings ofanother — that is, if they still have jobs. In the newbook “Coaching Confidential” by Gary Myers, you’llread about a very unique club.

It’s all about the Trophy.The Vince Lombardi Trophy, to be exact: a big

piece of metal that forces NFL coaches to “(drag)their families from city to city as they go from job tojob ...” says sportswriter Myers.

The Trophy is why Sean Payton worked his way upthe ranks from “scab” to coach of the ailing NewOrleans Saints, post-Katrina. That Trophy may havebeen why Payton thought he was “bullet-proof” afterthe Saints’ Super Bowl win. His “arrogance” led NFLcommissioner Roger Goodell to suspend Payton, amongothers, for setting bounties on rival teams’ players.

Want for the Trophy is why a 33-year-old “abrasive” owner persuaded aretired coach to “save” the WashingtonRedskins. The coach, Joe Gibbs, had alot to learn: he’d been away from the NFL forover a decade, and rules had changed.

So had the world in general, which led to one of themost difficult things Gibbs ever endured.

The Lombardi Trophy is why a local man bought ateam that few seemed to care about, and hired acoach who liked to job-hop. It’s why that same coach

is notoriously rough on his team to get results. It’swhy nice guys reach out to players who’ve lost theirway, why fans suddenly idolize coaches they oncecomplained about, why there are fireworks in the

locker room as well as out, and why the rateof divorce among NFL coaches is so high.

“The coaching fraternity is small,” Myerssays. “Each year ... a group picture is takenof the 32 head coaches. There are signifi-cant changes to the picture every year.”

So you say you’re passionate aboutpigskin and your closet is filled with bi-col-ored clothing. Now you can read about theguys you screamed at every weekend.

With the kind of access fans can onlydream about, Myers goes behind closed doorsand inside meeting rooms to bring readers ahard look at the glory and the gloom that

comes with being an NFL coach.While this is a fan’s dream peek, it’s not pretty.

Myers gives his readers hard truths about personalsacrifices, peccadilloes and personality wars. Fans, Ithink, will enjoy knowing this info — but with atouch of discomfort.

Love your team’s coach or hate him, I think this bookmay open your eyes if you’re a football fanatic or if youjust love a good scandal. For you, “Coaching Confiden-tial” will fill up an empty weekend rather nicely.

Look for the reviewed book at a bookstore or alibrary near you. You may also find the book at onlinebook retailers. The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer.Terri has been reading since she was 3 years old andnever goes anywhere without a book. She lives in Wis-consin with three dogs and 10,000 books. ❖

IIn the years that Mary and Gary Schultz have worked asa team they have restored stained glass windows atchurches throughout Minnesota. Mary, who wanted to

work with stained glass sinceshe was a child, took her firstclass in 1978, 35 years ago.Since then, she’s continued todevelop her skills workingwith leaded, fused and firedpainted glass. She now teachesher own classes in fused glassto interested groups.

Gary’s career as a glassworker hasn’t spanned quitethat many years. He and Marycame to Moran Township,between Browerville and Sta-ples, from northern Iowa. For17 years Gary milked cows andfarmed. Then, in 1996, the Schultzes sold their cows.

“Gary has been working on glass for 17 years,” Mary said.“That’s the same number of years that he milked cows.”

In 1996 the Schultzes began the process of converting thedairy barn into a spacious gallery that now displays beauti-ful fused glass projects where cows previously stood instanchions. At the far end of the alley, which used to befilled with straw and hay bales, pitchforks, silage carts andother milking paraphernalia, is the entry to the Schultzes’heated, spacious and well-lighted workshop. They call theirbusiness Genesis Stained Glass.

In mid-January they had windows from the FahlonLutheran Church, near Nelson, Minn., in Douglas County,spread out on their long workbenches. At one, Gary wascarefully removing the deteriorating old leading from theintricately made window.

“You see how it’s worn and pitted,” he points out. “Thelead lasts between 80 and 100 years.”

On another table a window is beginning to be reassem-bled. Compared to the somewhat muddy color of the glassin the window Gary is taking apart, the glass sparklesbrightly.

“Most people don’t see how dirty a window is,” Mary said.They do see the difference when the cleaned and restored

window is reinstalled.“We restored windows for a church in North Dakota,”

Gary said. “After we got it up the priest came and looked upat the window. He asked me if we had put something newin his window. I told him we had just cleaned what wasthere. He’d been there quite a few years and had never seenall of his window until then.”

Genesis Stained Glass does all aspects of stained glasswindow restoration, and can also create new windows. Theycan be reached at (320) 594-6585. ❖
