With new year’s resolutions now safelytucked aside, perhaps it’s time for a bit ofdéjà vu. I’m writing this Dec. 28 with anew farm bill and fiscal cliff still hangingin limbo. Regardless, I think we’ll bedealing in uncertainty forever in Amer-ica. Common sense took a hike long ago.Now it’s egos and power strokes that con-tinue this downward spiral of govern-ment.

So what’s ahead? You be the judge.Even without a farm bill I think Amer-ica’s farmers will still be OK. That so-called “protective belt” of Washington,D.C., is becoming more illusionary toeveryone. And with so many new facesin D.C., St. Paul and Des Moines, there certainlywon’t be shirt tails carrying the next legislativerequests from our “ag belt.”

The reality is that more politicians don’t knowbecause they don’t listen. And unfortunately a goodlynumber don’t care because it might jeopardize theirreelection efforts the next time around. Even AgChief Tom Vilsack is a bit pessimistic about ruralAmerica. “It’s becomingless and less relevant,” hesaid in a Dec. 10 speech ata forum sponsored byFarm Journal magazine.Vilsack said that ruralAmerica’s biggest assets— food production, recre-ational areas, energy —are being overlooked asthe U.S. population con-tinues shifting to cities,suburbs and exurbs.Explaining why we don’thave a farm bill, Vilsack said the shrinking popula-tion of rural America is making agriculture andfarmers less important in the political mainstream ofAmerica.

I’m recalling an interview I had a year ago withJohn Baize, a veteran international traveler andrenowned spokesman for the American SoybeanAssociation. That day I asked him, “Is America wellon its way to becoming a socialistic society becausevoters keep voting for the source of their entitle-ments?”

Baize responded that America is on a troublingtrend. He reflected that lots of people are still hurt-ing financially. That means people are open to any-body who offers a lifeline. But the flip side is thatmillions of younger people who got fired up aboutCandidate Obama in 2008 are now disenchantedwith what they see.

What troubles Baize is that we’ve become a coun-try of two nations: those with wealth and those with-

out. He acknowledges that too muchincome disparity is a problem. But hepointed out last January that 47 percent ofour population now pays zero income tax.Apparently Candidate Romney overplayedthat bit of reality. Baize questions our U.S.tax policy. With the richer already paying ahuge portion of our total taxes why stick itto them even more, he wondered.

Just maybe Congressman Boehner is onthe right track in his reluctance to increasetaxes on the super rich. Their contributionsto most major charities across America are

also huge, incidentally. Baize bluntlysays America has been living beyond itsmeans a long time and now we’re push-

ing a $16 trillion national debt. We’ve alreadypushed up wage rates beyond our ability to competein a global market. We have unemployment benefitsextending out to 99 weeks which obviously hasbecame a strong disincentive to go looking for a job.

Baize has no answer for how or when Americacomes out of this mess. It’s not a simple “spend less,tax more” solution. But he did comment that unless

some miracle happens weare continually lowering thestandard of living in Amer-ica. And that should be trou-bling the conscience ofeveryone.

The miracle is simply arude awakening that Amer-ica is going broke. Whenincomes no longer are sus-tainable, then you have thepossibility of riots and totalindifference to law and

order. We’re seeing those “break outs” in severalEuropean countries almost on a regular basis. Andwith 47 percent of Americans not paying incometaxes, Baize observed that it’s now the norm inAmerica that the vote goes to whomever makes thebigger promises. That was again evident in theNovember 2012 election.

So is the glimmer lessening for America’s “GoldenAge of Agriculture” which started ramping up in2008? Last January Baize said very definitely. I’mcertain he’ll say much the same this January whenhe speaks at the Linder Marketing/Management ses-sions in a few weeks. He pointed out that althoughthe United States is only 3 percent of the world’spopulation, we’re subject to whatever happens else-where in the world. And today lots of farmers inother countries are gearing up their production tohopefully also enjoy better times. That means morecompetition. He noted that U.S. agriculture is doingabout $100 billion in profits but water, worldwide

LAND MINDS

By Dick Hagen

Baize has no answer for how orwhen America comes out of thismess. ... But he did comment thatunless some miracle happens, weare continually lowering thestandard of living in America.And that should be troubling theconscience of everyone.

See LAND MINDS, pg. 4

In an almost endless streamof post-vote analyses Jan. 2,Capitol Hill pundits focusedmostly on who the politicalwinners and losers were inthe Christmas-to-New Year’sGrinch-vs.-Grinch brawl to“save” the nation from a “fis-cal cliff.”

That’s to be expected becauseit’s a lot more fun to read aboutsandbox fights between 7-year-olds than reason-drivendebates between well-edu-cated adults. Lost in the holi-day ugliness, however, wasthe failure of Congress to passa 2012 farm bill.

Sure, America was saved from the“dairy cliff” but you and I should nothave been on any cliff to begin with. Wewere placed there by politicians play-ing a can’t-win game of I-win, you-losepolitics. How this played out for farm-ers and ranchers is both informativeand instructive.

Farm bills used to be simple; not so in2012. When the House ag committee,the historic leader in farm bill writing,blew through 2011 without action, itscounterpart, the Senate ag committee,took over. To its members’ credit, a“reform” farm bill — that contained lit-tle real reform — passed the Senate ina bipartisan 64-35 late-June vote.

That vote, however, held trouble. FourSenate Republican ag committee mem-bers were among the 35 nays. South-

erners all, they preferred abill titled more toward riceand cotton than the cur-rently favored corn andsoybeans.

That geographic splitwas — is — common infarm bills. What wasuncommon about thesefour, however, was that onewas — is — Kentucky’sMitch McConnell, the Sen-ate’s Republican leader. A

few eyebrows were raisedwhen the party’s bossvoted against a clearly

bipartisan farm bill.House ag committee members com-

pleted their bill in late July; it, too,packed trouble despite a commanding35-11 bipartisan committee vote. Thattrouble became evident when Speakerof the House John Boehner slipped thecommittee’s bill into his suit jacket andwent home. He later returned; the billnever did.

Boehner’s refusal to bring the farmbill to the floor for an up-or-down votehas been explained several ways. Themost common is that the bill’s $16.5billion cut in 10-year food stamp spend-ing wasn’t enough for many in hisparty’s tea-drinking wing so he simplysat on the bill while waiting for a bet-ter path for it to pass.

The explanation has merit. After all,cutting $16.5 billion out of more than$750 billion of food assistance spending

in the coming decade hardly seems likeany cut.

Another explanation is that the bill’sdairy reforms, also contained in theSenate bill, rankled Boehner. No oneknows if this son of greater Cincinnatiunderstands dairy policy — it’d benews if he did — but everyone on Capi-tol Hill knows that dairy processorshated the changes. Boehner, in turn,took to calling the pending dairy policy“socialism” and “Soviet-style centralplanning.”

Boehner and McConnell’s differenceswith each bill would hardly be notewor-thy if not for the key role each wouldplay in the fiscal cliff talks.

Boehner’s hard effort to meet White

House demands stumbled when hewent back to his Republican caucus totake their temperature on a nearly-completed “big deal” the week beforeChristmas. He got his head handed tohim when GOP tea party members heldtheir hard line against any new taxes.

Poetically, perhaps, most of those no-new-tax House members were thevery same rural and ag committeemembers who earlier had demanded avote on a farm bill. Speaker Boehnerhad denied them because he thoughtit far-too-rich. Now they denied him.

That put the burden of negotiatingany fiscal cliff deal on Senate Republi-can leader McConnell. Recall he hadvoted openly, almost happily, againstthe Senate farm bill in June because itlacked cotton and rice price protection.

With that same bill as the workingmodel for any fiscal cliff-farm bill-NewYear’s deal and McConnell as the chiefGOP negotiator, no 2012 farm bill wasthe likely outcome and, to no one’ssurprise, no 2012 farm bill it now is.

Why any of this is surprise, however,is, well, a surprise. When the bottomline to any Congressional deal mustinclude a political I-win, you-losescore, you and I will always losebecause we’re not politicians.

FARM & FOOD FILE

By Alan Guebert

Sure, America wassaved from the ‘dairycliff’ but you and Ishould not have beenon any cliff to beginwith. We were placedthere by politiciansplaying a can’t-wingame of I-win, you-lose politics. How thisplayed out for farmersand ranchers is bothinformative andinstructive.

LAND MINDS, from pg. 2water, may soon become the biggestissue. With rising world populations,water demand is skyrocketing. Already lack ofwater is becoming a limiting factor in food pro-duction in many parts of the world. We becamedangerously close across much of our “farm belt”this past year. It could be worse for 2013.

Encouraging from Baize was his comment thatAmerican farmers will always be a major playerbecause of the continually rising world popula-tion. He says agriculture will always be thebedrock industry but leaner times are likely. LastJanuary he was speculating that land prices willfall back. Cash rents will need to be adjusted.And just maybe U.S. agriculture can survive in afree market economy if all nations play by thesame rules. However fat chance with China,home of the world’s largest agriculture, pretty

much calling the shots.At a November Agri-Growth con-

ference, Wells Fargo economistMichael Swanson shared a comment by economistJohn Keynes who said, “the market can stay stu-pid longer than you can stay solvent.” Swansoncautioned his audience that while one could recog-nize an opportunity where the market is out ofadjustment and bet against it, the market can alsodo something even more stupid and blow out yourinvestment. He cautioned that when the marketeventually corrects itself we won’t be able to pre-dict the cause, and that might be a panic situationfor which you should prepare.

My closing comment: Be prepared, and a blessed2013 for you and your family.

OPINION

To the Editor:“What’s ahead for America?” by Staff Writer Dick

Hagen (“Land Minds,” Nov. 30 issue) was an outstandingopinion. It showed the impossible thinking our country isdoing. We will need to sharpen our wits if we are to sur-vive our overwhelming government in our lives. We haveto quit overspending and overtaxing our people to surviveand flourish. Middle-income people will be paying a lot ifwe don’t wake up on taxes and spending. Soaking the richonly happens once and is not the answer. It is only classenvy being promoted. It is also destructive to destory so-called rich, as you don’t get a job from a poor person.Dolores McClernonTintah, Minn.

“I’m not going to tell a farmer how tomanage his site.He tells me how he wantsto manage it and I will engineer aroundthat.”That candid response was from CrisSkonard, PhD., P.E., and senior engineerwith Bollig Inc., an engineering and envi-ronmental firm at Willmar, Minn., whenasked how his firm works with farmers.

His firm exhibited at the Decemberannual conference of the Minnesota

State Cattlemen Association in Alexan-dria. He said a key issue when workingwith consulting engineers is that farm-ers understand each project is different.“We’re not going to be there every day sogetting it to work for that particularclient is what our business is all about.”

Bollig Inc. provides services acrossthe board to municipalities, manufac-turing facilities, business firms andmore recently a growing business inthe agricultural world. Cattle feedlots,

manure facilities for hogs and cattle,soil erosion issues plus a bucketful of“little fixes” where the Minnesota Pol-lution Control Agency has identified apollution problem is the daily agenda.

“My approach is to look for common-sense solutions that will protect theenvironment without infringing on thestrategic operation of that particularclient,” Skonard said.

As slat-floored confinement structuresbecome more commonplace, livestockproducers often ask about animal safetyand comfort. “Livestock people know thatconcrete can chew up hooves, sometimescausing lameness, even downers. Andthat is why we’re seeing rubber matsbeing used more and more on concreteslats. It’s a matter of comfort,” he said.

Lagoons are sometimes still part ofthe engineering process. “And that’ssimply because a lagoon is often themost cost-effective way of handling live-stock manure. But each site is unique,”Skonard said, “and sometimes countyregulations don’t permit lagoons.”

Bollig Inc. starts with a site evalua-tion to get a handle on what type ofservices will be needed. Then prelimi-nary cost estimates would likely bedone on a “lump-sum” basis that identi-

fies individual key components.Hourly charges, however, are morecommon if there are weather condi-tions or contractor issues that can’t becontrolled by Bollig Inc.

Is the strong economy of agriculturecreating more interest in engineeringservices?

“Yes, we see farmers more frequentlyasking if and how they can better man-age the environment of their particu-lar farming operation. A common ques-tion is what will it take to get theminto compliance and what will it cost.Yes, I see a definite concern from farm-ers about how they can become betterstewards of the land,” Skonard said.

This means constant study andunderstanding by engineering firms ofrules and regulations as they pertainto livestock and crop production. Hesaid he’s on the telephone weekly tovarious feedlot engineers in variouscounties. “I explain what I think needsto happen on this particular farm. Iask, ‘What are you saying?’ Sometimescompromise is the solution. They’vebeen real good working with us onthese issues,” Skonard said. ❖

The National Buffalo Foundation isexcited to announce the launch of itsnew website and a fund drive for anupcoming research project. Both proj-ects are the result of a November 2011survey to bison producers and support-ers focusing on education and research.

The www.nationalbuffalofoundation.orgwebsite went live Dec. 3, and featuresbasic information about the foundation aswell as listing ways to give to the Founda-tion. The site also includes overviews ofFoundation-supported projects and part-ner testimonials. A special section is dedi-cated to a fundraising campaign to sup-port a TB testing research study also justlaunched by the Foundation.

The National Buffalo Foundation isproud to support efforts to conduct aone-time through TB testing and isexcited to take the lead role in fundingthis research project. Our November2011 survey to National Bison Associa-tion members promised to utilize theinformation gathered to guide theNational Buffalo Foundation in fund-ing future projects. This is a directresult of that promise. One-timethrough TB ranked in the top fiveresearch project suggestions.

There’s nothing like higher feed costs to driveinterest in new additives that potentially increasefeed efficiency in your livestock.

Ben Holland, technical services specialist withMerck Animal Health, said, “the higher costs ofcommodity feedstuffs have definitely created anincentive amongst cattle feeders to become moreefficient, both economically and environmentally inusage of their resources.”

A good example is Merck’s Zilmax, a beta agonistagent that acts directly on the muscle cell causing itto increase in size. “Zilmax binds to each muscle cellwith the net result of more carcass weight in thefinished animal without requiring any additionalfeed, water or other resources,” Holland said.

He said that in all muscles there is an ongoingbuildup and breakdown of muscle tissue; it’s a con-stant cycle in all livestock — humans, too. The addi-tion of Zilmax in the finishing ration alters and slowsthat process so the ratio of what’s being deposited isgreater than what’s being broken down. “And the netresult is an increase in muscle mass,” Holland said.

Additives obviously have a cost-effectiveness con-sideration. A plus for Zilmax is that it producesresults with only a 20-day usage in the finishingration. However the product has Food and DrugAdministration clearance for usage the last 20 to 40days, with a three-day withdrawal prior to marketing.

Marketed as a feed additive, the label indicates6.8 grams per ton of ration in a Total Mixed Daily

Ration program.The product’s cost is adjusted monthly based on live

carcass price values. “This gives a continual return tothe feeder at a 2-to-1 ratio. If cattle prices go up, thecost of Zilmax goes up and vice versa with decliningcattle prices,” Holland said. Based on current cattleprices, the product costs a feeder $26 to $28 per headfor a 20-day feeding period.

More than 50,000 head of cattle have been studiedwith Zilmax in more than 20 different locations toverify performance data, both from a biologicalstandpoint and a performance standpoint.

When “altering” muscle structure of a beef critter,are you altering taste and flavor? Not so, Hollandsaid, noting consumer taste panels involving morethan 3,000 people with no taste difference from beeffinished with the Zilmax additive, versus no Zilmax.

The product has been in the U.S. market since2007; globally since the late-1990s. Holland said theproduct continues to enjoy a growing market. He esti-mated over 6 million head of U.S. beef will be market-ing with Zilmax in the finishing ration this year.

Tom Revier, of Revier Cattle Co. near Olivia,Minn., pays extreme attention to feeding costs. Thefirm markets over 15,000 head of cattle yearly fromboth confinement (on slats) and open feedlots.

“(Zilmax is) a fabulous product,” he said. “Our onlyissue is that it slightly lowers the grade of the fin-ished carcass. But the big plus is that it adds size tothe highest valued portions of the carcass, the loinsand the rib section. ... And for an industry that mightsoon be short of beef for the consumer market, thisadded tonnage might take on significant impact.”

Holland was interviewed at a Dec. 13 MinnesotaCattle Feeders Day event at Tracy, Minn. ❖

Ron Fagen is a Granite Falls, Minn.,entrepreneur whose name became anindustrial legend during the construc-tion boom days of the U.S. ethanolindustry. During that exploding era —late-1990s until the mid-2000s — hisfirm was building about 80 percent ofall the new ethanol plants being con-structed in the United States, morethan 100 in all.

Fagen Construction is still goingstrong in the energy world, includingerecting towers for wind farms acrossthe north central states, building afull-scale cellulosic (corn stover)ethanol plant in Iowa, and expandingglobally with European projects.

Ron Fagen has completed anentirely different and personal projectto show off these days — a new WorldWar II Fighter Plane Museum whichofficially opened Sept. 29 at the Gran-ite Falls airport. This structure hasalready captured the fancy of aviationenthusiasts across America.

Built as a tribute to his late father,Raymond, who participated in theJune 6, 1944, D-Day Utah Beachinvasion of Europe, this museum is 90feet wide, 200 feet long and 28 feettall. Steel framed and steel rafter con-struction, this tremendously spatialinterior is now a world-class showcaseof pristine World War II fighter andtrainer air planes.

The WWII-era planes on displayinside this museum include a P-51Mustang monogrammed as “SweetRevenge,” a Lockheed P-38 Lightning“Ruff Stuff,” a P-40 Flying Tigerlabeled “Desert Shark” and a BT-13trainer. This same hangar also housesGeneral Omar Bradley’s D-Day Willy

Jeep, a Harley Davidson WLA escortmotorcycle and a D-Day veteran WC-54 Dodge ambulance.

This structure also has an upstairslibrary with books, photos, posters,WWII newspaper stories and other lit-erature about the era. On both of themain walls of this 18,000-square-footstructure are several interactive touchvideo screens, plus a huge mural byNebraska artist Dave Reiser depictingthe Allied invasion of Normandy.

MUSEUM, from pg. 10were nighttime missions to quietlytransport troops into enemy territoryacross the English Channel. Thisgallery also houses reconstructed Armytraining planes including a PT-19, aPT-22 and a PT-26. Other hardwarehere includes an anti-aircraft halftrack, a CCKWX troop carrier (betterknown as a Deuceand a half truck), aCushman Model 32scooter and an unre-stored 1943 HarleyDavidson WLA cycle.

A significant non-aviation highlight ofFagen’s museum is athree-dimensional UtahBeach invasion scenefeaturing life-sized bronze sculpturesof U.S. Army G.I.s exiting a U.S. land-ing craft as it hits the French shore-line.

The sculpture of Fagen’s father is thelead soldier departing from the landingdraft as it hits the French shoreline. Atotal of 160,000 Allied troops were partof this assault on the beaches of Nor-mandy. Adding to the historical accu-racy is the fact that actual sand fromthat very beach was transported to

Granite Falls for this beachfront depic-tion.

If you’re wondering how all of theseplanes and other items gained accessto Fagen’s museum, that would becourtesy of a 70-foot by 18-foot bifolddoor manufactured by Schweiss Doorsof Fairfax, Minn. Weighing 22,000pounds, with special steel sheeting and

inside insulation, thisworkhorse hangardoor is powered bythree 5-hp electricmotors; 20 straps dothe heavy lifting ofthis monster doorwhich is built towithstand 190 mphwinds.

Two additionalhangars, a WWII Quonset depicting aflight operations center and a WWIIcontrol tower, make up the complex.

The museum is located at the Lenzen-Roe-Memorial Airport in Granite Falls,Minn. Guided tours are available forgroups of 10 or more. Call (320) 564-6644 and ask for Greg Gibson, directorof the WWII museum.

Since 1905, Janesville, a small WasecaCounty, Minn., town with big heart, hasbeen keeping the community spirit alivewith its annual Hay Daze celebration,complete with parade, pageant, beertent and Sunday morning worship serv-ice (also in the beer tent, perhaps toremind sinners of recent misdeeds).

Keeping this thing going year afteryear is no easy task, and it doesn’t payfor itself, either. So organizers are hop-ing to get some extra revenue from thesale of a community cookbook, “What’sCooking in Janesville,” full of recipesthat Janesvillers love, and so will you.The cookbook is beautifully bound andfeatures both up-to-the-minute recipesas well as old family favorites. It wasproduced by the Chamber of Com-merce and is available at local mer-chants. Here are a few sample recipes.

The mailboxes in our churchnarthex are an easy and con-venient way to receive churchnews and for people to blessone another with cards. It’s anespecially popular, postage-free option at Christmas.

On a mild Friday afternoonin December as I was insertingChristmas cards in the mail-boxes I worked alongside threeothers who were doing thesame.

“I wonder what you have todo to get a plate of treats?” I said, noticing that anumber of people had small plates of yummy Christ-mas goodies in their boxes.

“You don’t want to be on that list,” said one of themen standing there. His wife nodded in agreement.“Those are for the elderly widows and widowers.”

I don’t know the demographics of your congrega-tion, but for us that’s a lot of plates. “Wow!” I said,thinking through how much time that must’vetaken. I assumed the youth group or a women’s Biblestudy made them. When I asked if they knew the giftgivers, the gentleman pointed to his wife and gavethe order not to tell anyone. They wanted their gift toremain anonymous. I found their act doubly inspir-ing — the labor of love in making the goodies andthe motive of the heart in keeping themselves name-less.

Their obscurity flies in the face of a culture thatthrives in self-importance. We track how manyfriends we have on Facebook, followers on Twitter,how many people send us birthday cards, or recog-nize us and our achievements within our community.Deep within our souls, whether we verbalize it ornot, we want to be known for something. We want tomake a mark on this world.

Within his book, “Embracing Obscurity — Becom-ing nothing in light of God’s everything,” the authorAnonymous (how’s that for walking the talk?),writes, “we’re intoxicated with a desire to be known,recognized, appreciated and respected. We crave tobe a ‘somebody’ and do notable things, to achieve ourdreams and gain the admiration of others. To besomething — anything — other than nothing.”

It’s a book that teaches true humility and chal-lenges readers to evaluate their motives for doingwhat they do.

When we volunteer or make a donation is it out oftrue care and concern for the ones we’re serving orare we hoping for some recognition and approvalfrom others? Do we purchase what we purchasebecause we need it or because we’re hoping toimpress people? It’s a convicting read.

It’s what made the anonymous gifts of goodiesespecially sweet. I thought of all the nameless facesacross our landscape who care for children, whoscoop snow in subzero weather for the elderly, whovolunteer behind the scenes at schools and churches,who give generously without recognition, who putthe needs of others before themselves, who spendhours in prayer for people without ever telling

another soul about the amount of time they spendeach day on their knees.

These people will probably never be named Time’sPerson of the Year, or make national headlines, orreceive awards or accolades from the international

community. That’s OK.Pastor and author RickWarren puts it in perspec-tive when he says, “Beingimportant isn’t important.Be loving.”

Loving, humble acts ofservice matter. This world,

this year, will be a better placewhen we care less about being

recognized and more about recognizing how manypeople need us to reach out to them in love.

Grain prices are effective cash close on Jan. 8. The price index chart compares an average of most recently reported local cash prices with the same average for a year ago.*Cash grain price change represents a two-week period.

Grain Angles Demand-driven

markets strongerAs we look toward the 2013 crop year, we see that

many questions remain unanswered. We have talkedabout the need for an above-average crop coming outof the southern hemisphere. We have talked about thefears of a back-to-back drought and how that couldaffect prices. We keep focusing on the supply side ofthe equation, but we must remem-ber that the heart and core of thismarket has been the RenewableFuels Standard passed in 2005.This political action created ademand-driven market.

As we know, demand-drivenmarkets are much stronger andlast longer than supply-drivenmarkets. As we have watched thepolitical powers grinding away ingridlock on the “fiscal cliff” debate,the larger markets have tradedlower while deleveraging their riskin the markets. This is anotherexample of how the political climate can impact prices.The political action that created the RFS could bechanged with the stroke of a pen.

The political element is just one thing that couldimpact demand for corn. The greatest impact could beif we were to have a production problem in 2013 andprices take run to the upside. This could crack thedemand bubble, with greater long-term damage tograin demand than the political risk could inflict.When true demand from livestock feeders and ourexport customers is damaged, it takes longer to recoverthan many producers with high land costs may endure.

If we look at the long-term global demand projec-tion for 2012-13 corn, we see the first decrease in 19years. This decrease of 15.25 million metric tonsincludes a projected drop in U.S. demand of 24.57mmt. When we compare this to an increase in

Grain Outlook Market drifting,

uninspiredThe following market analysis is for the week end-

ing Jan. 4.CORN — Corn continued to suffer from liquidation

trading and a lack of demand as we stepped into 2013.Without something to inspire buyers to re-enter the

market, the market may drift intothe Jan. 11 U.S. Department ofAgriculture report stuck in itsrecent trading range. Open inter-est increased during the pricedecline, indicating fresh short posi-tions being established. Funda-mentally, the balance sheet is tightand may get tighter when updatedtables are released by the USDA onJan. 11. Production may be loweredslightly more than exports are cutto reinforce a situation that therelikely is more rationing to be donebefore the 2013 harvest.

The Buenos Aires Cereals Exchange lowered theircorn production estimate to 26 million metric tons to27 mmt as opposed to the current USDA 27.5 mmtforecast. Corn planting there is 82 percent complete,just 2 percent behind last year.

Informa Economics updated their crop estimates asthe Jan. 11 final USDA production report approaches.They pegged the 2012 corn crop at 10.8 billion bushels,75 million bushels higher than the USDA’s last estimateof 10.725 billion bushels. Informa cut harvested acres to87.6 million, down 150,000 from the USDA, whileincreasing the yield to 123.3 bushels per acre, up 1bushel from USDA. Informa Economics did not releaseupdated balance sheets at this time. The news pushedMarch corn to fill the gap at $6.83 1/2 left from July.Thisweek’s low was $6.79 1/2 per bushel. March corn closedout the week at $6.80 1/4, down 13 3/4 and the Decem-ber was 28 cents lower at $5.71 3/4 per bushel.

Livestock Angles Cattle end 2012

near record highsAt the end of 2012, cattle prices were near their all-

time highs, while hog prices were in the mid-range oftheir entire year’s range. As we move into the newyear, the prognosticators will be guessing at how cattleand hog prices will be through the entire upcomingyear based upon what happened last year. The prob-lem being that some new factorswill effect the markets over thenext 12 months, which will bemainly economic factors that willhave a direct bearing on demandfor meat products.

The cattle market has been in along-term upward trend for most ofthe year. This trend has beenfueled by the supply of cattle whichhas been on a downward trend foryears. At the same time the domes-tic demand for beef has also beenon a downward trend, although ata slower decline than the supply ofcattle. Export business has improved over the past yearwhich appears to be the underlying strength to the mar-ket rather than the softening domestic demand. Cattlenumbers are expected to remain smaller through theyear, which should keep the supply bulls satisfied.

From the demand standpoint, with advent of aseries of new taxes on the American public, disposableincome will undoubtedly shrink the demand for beef,when compared to the less expensive meats and meatalternatives. Overall, it would appear that the cattlemarket will continue to remain at price levels that arein the upper half of the price over the past severalyears. Producers should continue to monitor the mar-ket and protect inventories as events warrant.

The hog market, in difference to the cattle market,has had no supply problems as numbers of hogs hasremained at fairly stable levels. In fact the latest U.S.

balance sheets will also beaccompanied by the Dec. 1 grain stocksreport. The corn stocks number isexpected to imply feeding levels belowlast year and possibly at a multi-yearlow. In three out of the last four yearspre-report estimates of Dec. 1 grainstocks were less than the actual figure by225 million to 275 million bushels.

Weekly export sales were a disap-pointment once again at only 1.9 mil-lion bushels. We need to average 20.6million bushels per week in sales tohave any chance to achieve the USDAforecast and we’ve only had one weekso far in this marketing year thatwe’ve done that. Weekly ethanol pro-duction was down 27,000 barrels to807,000 barrels per day. For the year,the annualized average productionequivalent is 4.538 billion bushels ofcorn. Ethanol stocks fell slightly to20.2 million barrels.

OUTLOOK: The gapin March corn was

filled and yet Marchcorn continued to struggle for traction.The December contract is feeling pres-sure from increased attention now thatwe’re into 2013 and forecasts for plantedacreage and new crop prices are begin-ning to surface. March corn has tradedthe limit in each of the last six years onthe day of the January report, settlingat the limit except in 2011. In 2007 and2008 it settled up the 20-cent limit; in2009 and 2010 it closed down the 30-cent limit; in 2011 in closed up 24 centsafter trading limit higher; in 2012 itclosed down the 40-cent limit. ForDecember, corn was down 6.7 percentand for the year it was up 8 percent.

SOYBEANS — Yeah, they say weavoided the fiscal cliff, but did we really?

Spending cuts haven’t been dis-cussed, but will need to be in the nexttwo months. Beans opened sharplyhigher when the opening bell rang to

start 2013, only to quickly fall off theirown cliff and trade to six-week lows.What about that pesky debt ceilingissue? As part of the Washingtonannouncement, the farm bill wasextended for another year. The $1 taxcredit for biodiesel was reinstatedretroactively for 2012. This shouldsupply support for the oil market.

Another round of Chinese soybean can-celations punctuated the week when theUSDA announced a 315,000 mt cancella-tion. Additionally, the USDA announceda sale of 140,000 mt of beans tounknown. Popular theory suggests theChinese cancellations are being replacedwith cheaper Brazilian soybeans. Indexrebalancing was also thought to bebehind a portion of this week’s setback.According to estimates, funds need to sell35,000 bean contracts, buy 55,000 mealcontracts and sell 12,000 oil contracts.

Brazil’s soybean planting was peggedat 85 percent complete, on pace withlast year. Rain is in the forecast for thedry northern regions of Brazil, but ingeneral crops are in good shape. TheU.S. attaché in Brazil raised their esti-mate from 82 mmt to 83 mmt and com-pared to the current USDA 81 mmtforecast. Others cautioned againstjumping on the high end of estimatessince the crop is nowhere near in thebin and there have been pockets of dry-ness. Brazil is poised to overtake theUnited States as the largest exporter ofsoybeans in the world with 39 mmt ofexports, leaving the United States insecond place with 36.6 mmt.

Informa Economics’ latest updateincluded raising 2012 production by65 million bushels over the USDA’slast projection to 3.04 billion bushels.This was accomplished by increasingyield from the USDA’s 39.3 bu./acre to40.1 bu./acre. How this will pan out onthe Informa Economics’ balance sheetending stocks will be interesting.Exports and possibly crush shouldshow an increase to at least partiallyoffset the additional production.

Weekly export sales for beans wereabove expectations at 16 millionbushels of old crop and 2.3 million fornew crop. This keeps old crop sales 28percent ahead of last year. Weekly saleswould only need to average 8.2 millionbushels per week to hit the currentUSDA forecast. Some traders are antic-ipating that weekly soybean sales willsharply decline once South Americansupplies start to flow, but not everyoneis on board with that assumption.

They say we avoided the cliff, but did we really?MARKETING

TEALE, from pg. 22Department of Agriculture QuarterlyHogs and Pigs Report released on Dec.28, indicated that the hog inventory wasequal with the previous year. Theresults were as follows: All hogs andpigs as of Dec. 1, 100 percent; Kept forbreeding, 100 percent; and Kept formarketing, 100 percent. This report wasseen as slightly negative as pre-reportestimates suggested that the overallinventory would be on the decline.

The outlook for hog prices would suggestthat the price range of 2012 will be close to

the price range for 2013. The interestingpoint is that demand for pork productshas been on the increase throughout theyear, both export and domestic. Thisincrease in interest appears to be theresult of the price for pork products beinga better value than its competitive meatsources. Should this trend continue, thiswould be supportive to prices in the longterm. Producers are urged to keep abreastof market conditions and protect invento-ries when opportunities arise.

I would like to wish everyone a veryhappy and prosperous new year. ❖

Pork demand up through 2012

NEHER, from pg. 22demand from foreign countries of 9.31mmt, we have to conclude that the threatto the demand market in corn comes fromthe United States and not from the devel-oping countries.

In the United States the projected feeddemand is down to 4.15 billion bushels,the lowest since 1988-89, while exportdemand of 1.15 billion bushels is thelowest since 1974-75. Could it be thatour global competitors are waiting to fillany disruption in the U.S. supply chain?

We see the early projections for the2013 corn acres planted increasing tonearly 98 million acres, up from 96.9million acres planted in 2012. If we usea below trend line yield of 150 bushelsper acre and assume that 91.5 percentof the planted acres is harvested it

would produce a 13.4 billion bushelcorn crop. This would be a new recordcrop for the United States.

As I said at the beginning of this col-umn, there are many questions stillunanswered. The markets will keep aclose eye on production in South Amer-ica and the growing conditions in theUnited States will be monitored on aregular basis. There will be many daysof volatility yet ahead of us to leverage.

With the markets trading lower to side-ways at best, we must wonder what isbeing priced into the market. Could it bethe impact of crumbling demand? I havemet few bears in this market lately and itis starting to remind me of some advicethat my Grandpa shared with me manyyears ago: “Beware when everyone runsto the same side of the boat.” ❖

It is not too early to startplanning crop insurancestrategies for the 2013 cropyear, even though the cropinsurance enrollment dead-line for corn, soybeans andspring wheat in the UpperMidwest is not until March15. The coming crop yearwill likely feature a highlevel of grain price volatility,along with considerabledrought risk in many areasof the Upper Mid-west.

The Trend-AdjustedActual Production History — TA-APH for short —yield endorsement for corn and soybeans was intro-duced for the 2012 crop year in several states, andwill be continued for 2013, with wheat being addedin selected areas of the region. Crop insurance pre-miums were adjusted downward for many UpperMidwest crop producers in 2012, and will again beadjusted downward for the 2013 crop year.

The combination of the TA-APH yield endorse-ment, along with lower premium rates, allows pro-ducers the opportunity to enhance their insurancecoverage for 2013, with only minimal extra pre-mium investment. Producers should contact theircrop insurance agent early to find out all the cropinsurance options that are available for 2013 beforefinalizing their risk management strategies.Trend-adjusted APH yield endorsement

For the 2013 crop year, producers purchasing fed-eral crop insurance for corn and soybeans will againhave the option to use the TA-APH yield endorse-ment on their crop insurance policies, rather thanthe standard Actual Production History. The TA-APH option was initiated by the U.S. Department ofAgriculture Risk Management Agency for corn andsoybeans in 2012, and will be available in 2013 on acounty basis in parts of numerous states, includinglarge portions of Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, NorthDakota and South Dakota, and encompassing mostmajor corn and soybean producing counties in the

region.New for 2013: Wheat producers in most of west

central and northwest Minnesota, northeast SouthDakota and most of North Dakota will also be eligi-ble for the TA-APH endorsement for wheat. The TA-APH will likely be quite attractive to many Midwestcorn and soybean producers, as well as wheat pro-ducers in those selected areas. The decision regard-ing the TA-APH endorsement must be made by the2013 crop insurance enrollment deadline, which isMarch 15, for corn, soybeans and spring wheat in theUpper Midwest.

The APH yields have been used for many years todetermine crop insurance guarantees for both YieldProtection and Revenue Protection policies. The APHyield is determined by a minimum of four years, andup to a maximum of 10 years, of actual yield history

on a crop insurance “unit.” If there are more than 10years of yield history, the most recent 10 years areused to determine the APH. If there are less thanfour years of APH yields, then pre-set T-yields areused until there is a four-year history.

For many years, corn, soybean and wheat produc-ers in high production areas have felt that the 10-year average APH yields used for crop insuranceguarantees were not reflective of current yield poten-tial that exists due to enhanced seed genetics andimproved production practices.

Producers also felt that there was sometimes a“yield penalty” on farm units with a longer yield his-tory, due to the more recent yield increases. The TA-APH was developed by the RMA to help improve

PROGRAMS, from pg. 24these issues on selected corn, soybean,and wheat crop insurance policies.TA-APH yield adjustments

The TA-APH yield adjustment factors are made ona county basis, based on historical annual increasesin county-average corn, soybean and wheat yields, ascalculated by the National Agricultural StatisticsService. Most counties in south central and south-western Minnesota had a TA-APH yield adjustmentfactor of 2.2 to 2.5 bushels per acre for corn, and 0.35to 0.50 bushels per acre for soybeans in 2012.

Producers should check with their crop insuranceagent for the TA-APH yield adjustment factors for2013 in their county. A producer’s actual APH yields(four to 10 years) are then used with the county TA-APH adjustment factors to arrive at a final TA-APHyield.

The TA-APH yield adjustment factor is added foreach year of production history, up to a maximum of10 years. For example, if the yield adjustment factorfor corn is 2.5 bushels per acre, then 2.5 bu./acre isadded for the most recent year (2012), 5.0 bu./acre isadded for the preceding year (2011), and 7.5 bu./acrefor the year before that (2010), etc. The maximumyield adjustment for year 10 (2003) would be 25bu./acre (2.5 bu./acre x 10 years). See Table 1 for aTA-APH example for corn, and Table 2 for a TA-APHexample for soybeans.

The TA-APH yield does have a yearly maximum or“cap” for any given year during the four to 10 yearsthat are used to calculate the final TA-APH. Theyield “cap” for any year is the highest reported yearlyyield during the four to 10 years plus the yield

adjustment factor. For example, if thehighest reported corn yield on a farm

unit was 190 bu./acre, and the yieldadjustment factor was 2.5 bu./acre, the “cap” yield forany year, after adjustments, would be 192.5 bu./acre.In the TA-APH example for corn in Table 1, the high-est yield was 194 bu./acre in 2011, so the “cap” yieldis 196.5 bu./acre.

Based on the TA-APH formula, the yield adjust-ment for 2011 would be 5.0 bu./acre; however, sincethat would exceed the “cap” yield, an adjustment of2.5 bu./acre was used to arrive at a final maximumyield of 196.5 bu./acre.

This situation will likely affect 2013 TA-APH cal-culations for many corn and soybean producers inparts of the Upper Midwest, due to 2012 yields beinglower than 2010 and 2011 yields, as a result of the2012 drought.Other details on the TA-APH yield endorsement

• The TA-APH yield endorsement is available forboth Yield Protection and Revenue Protection poli-cies for corn and soybeans in 2013 at all coveragelevels, except the catastrophic level of 50 percent.Group crop insurance policies, such as GRIP or GRP,also utilize TA-APH yields for policy guarantees.

• The decision on whether to use the TA-APH yieldendorsement for the coming year must be made bythe crop insurance sales closing date, which is March15 for corn, soybeans and spring wheat in mostUpper Midwest states.

• To be eligible for the TA-APH yield endorsementfor corn, soybeans or wheat in 2013, the farm unitmust be in a county that is eligible for the TA-APHendorsement.

• The decision to utilize the TA-APH yieldendorsement is crop specific, and is on a countybasis. So, a producer could choose to use TA-APH forcorn and not for soybeans, or they could use TA-APH in one county, but not in another county.

• The TA-APH yield endorsement is a continuousinsurance policy, and will continue in effect unlessthe producer chooses to drop the endorsement, orunless RMA ends the TA-APH endorsement. If aproducer switches crop insurance companies, theywill need to re-select the TA-APH endorsement tohave it continue.

• A producer must have at least one actualreported yield for a crop from a farm unit in thepast four years for that crop and farm unit to be eli-gible for the TA-APH endorsement, which must bean actual yield, and not a T-yield that was used.

• There must be a minimum of four reportedannual yields in past 12 years for a crop insurancefarm unit to be eligible for the full TA-APH yieldadjustment; otherwise the yield adjustment factorswill be reduced as follows:

PROGRAMS, from pg. 25• 100 percent adjustment for four or moreyears of reported yields in the past 12 years.• 75 percent adjustment for three years ofreported yields.• 50 percent adjustment for two years ofreported yields.• 25 percent for one year with a reportedyield.

• The use of the TA-APH yield endorsement willnot directly affect crop insurance premiums, as thepremiums are based on the level of coverage anddollar guarantee.Impacts of selecting the TA-AYP endorsement

For producers with four or more years of actualproduction history for corn and soybeans on a farmunit, which has shown increasing yields over thatperiod, there should be a noticeable yield increasewith the TA-APH yield endorsement. The yieldimprovement will vary depending on the actualyield history on the farm unit, the number of yearsof production history, and the county yield adjust-ment factor.

Based on the TA-APH example for corn shown inTable 1, there was a yield improvement of 13.5bu./acre, from 173.5 bu./acre with the standard APH

to 187.0 bu./acre with TA-APH. TheTA-APH example for soybeans inTable 2 showed an increase of 2.2bu./acre, from an APH yield of 46.0 bu./acre to 48.2bushels per acre with TA-APH.

Insurance Coverage Example from Table 1 for an80 percent RP Policy (corn):

• 173.5 bu./acre APH yield x $6/bushel = $1,041 x0.80 = $832.80/acre guarantee

• 187.0 bu./acre TA-APH yield x $6/bu. = $1,122 x0.80 = $897.60/acre guarantee

• Increased guarantee with the TA-APH endorse-ment = $64.80/acreCrop insurance premisum reductions for 2013

Crop insurance premiums for corn, soybeans andwheat in 2013 will be adjusted for the 2013 crop yearin most areas of the Upper Midwest. These premiumadjustments are based on updated RMA crop insur-ance actuarial data for several years. The crop insur-ance premium adjustments for 2013 will also applyto cotton, rice and grain sorghum in other areas ofthe United States.

The reason for the premium adjustments is thatthe total crop insurance loss ratio in the UnitedStates from 1995-2011 averaged 0.84, meaning that84 cents was paid out in crop insurance losses forevery dollar paid in to the crop insurance programfrom producer premiums and federal subsidies.

The crop insurance premium adjustments for 2013will be on a state-by-state basis. States with cropinsurance loss ratios lower than the U.S. average lossratio will receive larger crop insurance premiumreductions for 2013, while states with higher lossratios will see premium increases in 2013. Cropinsurance premiums for 2013 on comparable insur-ance coverage for corn are expected to drop by anaverage of 3 percent in Minnesota and 6 percent in

Iowa, while increasing by 15 percentin South Dakota and 11 percent in

North Dakota. Soybean premiums in2013 on comparable insurance coverage are expectedto decrease by an average of 4 percent in Minnesotaand 9 percent in Iowa, while increasing by 2 percentin both North Dakota and South Dakota. This year’swheat premiums should be about 10 percent lower inMinnesota, and slightly higher in North Dakota andSouth Dakota. Actual crop insurance premiumadjustments will vary by county, and will depend onthe insurance coverage level selected.Bottom line

The TA-AHP yield endorsement looks to be anattractive option for many producers on their 2013crop insurance policies. The combination of the TA-APH endorsement, along with the reductions in cropinsurance premiums at comparable coverage levelsfor most producers, will allow many producers toenhance their crop insurance revenue guarantees forcorn, soybeans and wheat in 2013. This should allowcrop producers to be more aggressive in forward pric-ing a higher percentage of their anticipated 2013crop production during these times of highly volatilemarket prices.

Producers are encouraged to contact their cropinsurance agent well ahead of the March 15 deadlinefor 2013 crop insurance enrollment to find out moredetails about the TA-APH yield endorsement. Thereis a lot of variation with the TA-APH endorsementfrom county to county, farm unit to farm unit, andbetween corn, soybeans and wheat. Crop insuranceagents can help producers analyze the various sce-narios with the TA-APH endorsement, and to look atthe best crop insurance strategies for 2013.

This column was written for the market-ing week ending Jan. 4.

Lawmakers have extended the farm billfor another year, including the DairyPrice Support program and the MilkIncome Loss Contract program. But, as ofJan. 2, while resumption of the MILC isassured, Dairy Business Update (formerlyDairy Profit Weekly) reports that severalquestions remain regarding its implemen-tation and administration.

A last-minute amendment by Sen. PatLeahy, D-Vt., reportedly extended theMILC program at the pre-September2012 level, 45 percent of the differ-ence between the federal order Class Ibase price trigger for Boston, Mass., ($16.94 per hun-dredweight) and the actual Class I price, withadjustments made based on national average feedcosts. Leahy’s amendment keeps the feed costadjuster at the lower $7.35/cwt. level; and annualpayments are capped at 2.985 million pounds of milkproduction, as they were pre-September 2012.

Based on this formula, University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Brian Gould forecasts a small retroactivepayment for October, with higher payments starting inFebruary 2013. With the potential for a small retroac-tive payment for last October (the first month of fiscalyear 2013), it’s unclear how the MILC payment “startmonth” for some larger producers, subject to the milkproduction cap, will be affected, says the DBU.

In the past, a producer’s previous “start month” wason file with the Farm Service Agency, and remainedthe same in the subsequent year, unless the producerdid the proper paperwork to change months. Therewere no MILC payments made in October 2011, soit’s likely few if any larger producers had October asa “start month.” Presumably, those producers wouldhave selected start months of July, August or June2012, when payments were the highest.

However, once a payment to an individual producerhad been initiated, “start months” could not be changed.If an October 2012 retroactive payment is made, wouldthat impact the “start month” for some producers? Or,would those larger producers be eligible to declare aFebruary 2013 MILC start month by Jan. 14, 2013? Asthey often say, “the devil is in the details.” Stay tuned.

■

The National Milk Producers Federation said itwill continue its push in the 113th Congress for afive-year farm bill that includes the Dairy SecurityAct. NMPF President and CEO Jerry Kozak chargedthat “we need to spend the coming months figuringout how to move farm policy forward. The status quois not an acceptable outcome, either for farmers ortaxpayers. The renewal of current programs doesn’toffer dairy farmers a meaningful safety net.”

As the Senate and House agriculture committeesbegin work next month on a full, five-year farm bill,Kozak said that dairy farmers would “reiterate thevalue of the Dairy Security Act, which eliminates thedairy product price support program, direct pay-ments and export subsidies, and establishes a volun-tary risk management tool for farmers that saves thegovernment money.”

Kozak expressed satisfaction that theoverall fiscal cliff deal prevents the estatetax from returning at punitively high levelsin 2013. The package includes a 40-percentrate on estates valued at more than $5 mil-lion, up from the previous 35-percent rate,but far less than the 55-percent top rate on$1 million estates that could have becomepermanently absent in the new package.

The International Dairy Foods Associa-tion applauded the extension of the farmbill. An IDFA press release stated “we

appreciate that the bill includes provi-sions that will avoid the resurrectionof dairy policies from more than 50years ago. This agreement allows

Congress time to fully and openly consider futurereforms to our nation’s dairy policies.”

“Dairy manufacturers are an important segment ofour nation’s economy, and we are committed to work-ing with Congress this year as formulation of the 2013farm bill begins. The interdependence of this industryfrom farmer to consumer is critical, and our nation’sdairy policies deserve to be updated and supported.We commend the bipartisan effort of Reps. Bob Good-

latte, R-Va., and David Scott, D-Ga., in proposing amargin insurance program, a safety net, for dairyfarmers that does not impose new government rulesand conditions on milk production. This approach hasbroad support from consumer and taxpayer groups,from farm organizations and from across the foodmanufacturing and retail industry.”

Farm milk prices continue their descent, with theDecember federal order Class III benchmark plunging$2.17, to $18.66/cwt., 11 cents below December 2011,but $2.36 above California’s 4b price, and equates toabout $1.60 per gallon.

The AMS-surveyed U.S.average block price fell to $1.7648,down 1.9 cents. Barrel slipped a penny,to $1.7046.

Cheese production was higher Christ-mas week as increased volumes of milkwere offered to plants, according toUSDA’s Dairy Market News. Lower ClassI usage combined with some plants shut-tered for the holidays increased the vol-ume of milk for manufacturing.

Cheese demand is lackluster, accord-ing to the DMN, and buyers are “takinga wait-and-see attitude in many casesuntil they feel prices have bottomed”and “export buyers are watching pricemovement.”

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

Everybody’s Market Cooperative, Long Prairie, Minn.

Last year was the International Year of the Coop-erative, 168 years after the first modern coopera-

tive started on Toad Lane in Rochdale, in the UnitedKingdom, back in 1844.

At that time the Rochdale Society of Equitable Pio-neers had a vision. They envisioned a cooperativeorganization. Their organization would serve themembership and the membership would own theorganization and receive its profit. Membershipwould be open, voluntary and democratic. These neworganizations would serve members economicallyand educationally.

The Rochdale Pioneers laid out these ideas andlived by them. Their cooperatives were successfuland their principles became the guiding principlesfor the international cooperative movement for gen-erations.

Minnesota has always had a strong cooperativemovement. In the 1860s and 1870s farmers, tired ofpoor treatment from private storeowners, formed theirown cooperative stores across Minnesota’s farm coun-try.

A hundred years later, rural and urban Min-nesotans, who were looking for an alternative toincreasingly processed food turned again to thecooperative model founded by those British pioneers.

“Next year will be our 35th year,” said KayBradlich, of Everybody’s Market Cooperative inLong Prairie. “I don’t know if we were the first butwe were one of the first cooperatives to start backthen. A lot of us started in the 1970s.”

In the 1970s young people were looking for simplefoods such as whole-wheat flour, oatmeal and driedfruits in bulk produced without chemicals. Thosepeople also found the idealism of the Rochdale Pio-neers and the Minnesota immigrant farmers appeal-ing.

Today, many of the products that were sold by thecooperatives in the 1970s are now labeled organicand have become part of the huge organic industry.

“We were out in front on that,” Bradlich said. “Wewere also way ahead on the local foods movement.Co-ops have always supported buying from localfarmers and craftsman.”

The cooperative movement comes, goes, and comesback again. Many of those 1970s co-ops are gone butothers, like those in Windom, Ortonville, Blue Earth,Hackensack and Ely have prospered.

Organic bulk foods are still central to the businessof those co-ops. But so are other things like cannedand frozen organic foods, vitamin supplements,locally produced maple syrup, gluten-free flour anddrinks made without high fructose corn syrup,Bradlich said.

But continued membership involvement in a cooper-ative is as important as the products it sells, she said.Do you have a Back Roads story suggestion? E-mail [email protected] or write to Editor, The Land, P.O. Box 3169, Mankato, MN 56002.
