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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The mid-June Congres-sional action on ag programsseems to confirm why Wash-ington, D.C.’s, streets featureroundabout upon round-about: moving left or right— a big deal on Capitol Hillnow — usually lands youback where you started.

For proof, look no furtherthan the House of Represen-tative’s 217-203 vote June16 to approve 2012 U.S.Department of Agriculturespending. Not one Demvoted with the majorityRepubs and only two Houseag committee Repubs, newcomer KristiNoem, S.D., and Steve King, Iowa,voted with the Dems. (Both wanteddeeper cuts.)

That means every other House GOPaggie, from Chairman Frank Lucas,Okla., to senior members like BobGoodlatte, Va., and Tim Johnson, Ill.,voted to slice $3 billion from USDA dis-cretionary funding, gut mandatory con-servation funding by $1 billion and cut$685 million from the Women, Infantand Children feeding program.

Prior to that let-the-poor-eat-nothingvote, members passed two biscuits tosome of their wealthiest constituents.First, the House defeated an amend-ment to cap annual program paymentsat $125,000 and, later, voted down aneffort to lower program eligibility tofarmers with yearly gross incomesunder $250,000, $500,000 if married.

Back-of-the-envelope math showsthat if the House bill becomes law, the10 percent of American farmers who

receive 74 percent of all pro-gram payments, accordingto the USDA, will pocket 7.7times more taxpayer cashthan the estimated 200,000to 350,000 women and chil-dren dropped from WIC bythe cuts would havereceived in food aid.

Does anyone believe cut-ting $685 million in food aidto the poor and politicallyweak while sending more

than $5 billion in farmprogram money to the bet-ter off and politically pow-

erful will balance the 2012federal budget?

No, but the emptiness of budget gim-micks like this has never stopped cam-era-ready politicians from pulling downthe powerless in order to stand talleramong the powerful. Shame, shame.

The entire bill, forwarded to thatgiant roundabout known as the U.S.Senate, is going nowhere because itsDemocratic leaders are loath toendorse any Republican action, letalone one that cuts food aid to the poor,takes a big bite out of soil and waterconservation and puts a knife in theheart of the farm bill’s ConservationSecurity Program.

But wait, there’s more roundaboutlegislating.

For example, the House bill ordersCongress not to pay $147 million to theBrazilian Cotton Institute as requiredby the World Trade Organization whenit ruled that U.S. cotton subsidies (inthe 2002 farm bill) violated WTO stan-

dards.Fine, don’t pay; but how do you

square that action with calls for morefree trade by nearly every House mem-ber every day? You can’t, so the anti-WTO vote is nothing but politicalhypocrisy by political hypocrites.

And then there’s ethanol.On June 14, the Senate, on a 40-59

vote, defeated an effort by OklahomaRepublican Tom Coburn to kill two ofethanol’s three government subsidies,the 45-cents-per-gallon blending creditand the 51-cents-per-gallon import tar-iff.

Two days later, however, the Senateoverwhelmingly approved nearly iden-tical legislation by a heavily bipartisan73-27 vote, only this time it was intro-duced by a Dem, Dianne Feinstein ofCalifornia.

Then it was sent to the House whereit will go ’round and ’round because,as noted by the June 17 Wall StreetJournal, “the House is expected toreject it and the White House opposesthe measure.”

So the House isn’t going to adopt theSenate’s ethanol bill and the Senatewon’t touch the House’s USDA fund-ing bill because all of the dancing isjust a prelude to the worst-kept secretin Washington: there will be a continu-ing budget resolution — not a budget— hopefully by December.

See what I mean about the Washing-ton, D.C. streets? Around and around ...

Within two weeks at three differentspeaking events various women askedme, “Have you read the book, ‘Heavenis for Real’?” A friend of a friend hadpassed the book on to me to read, butbecause I was preparing for the speak-ing events, I didn’t take time to crackits covers.

On a Sunday afternoon after thingshad simmered down a bit, the bookbecame my priority. After reading it, Iwish I had made the time for this spe-cial book sooner.

“Heaven is for Real” is a true storyby Todd Burpo about his son Colton,

who was 3 years and 10 months at timeof surgery when he experiencedheaven. The book’s subtitle tells it all:“A Little Boy’s Astounding Story of HisTrip to Heaven and Back.”

His story is exactly what the subtitlepromises it to be — astounding. Of allthe amazing parts of Colton’s must-read story, the part that revisits mymind most often is how Colton wouldtell his parents, “Jesus told me to tellyou, He really loves the children.”

He would remind his mom and dadmorning, noon and night of this mes-sage. It almost hinged on annoying to

them, but because of therepeated memo, they didn’tmiss its significance: Jesusloves children.

Had Hank Wessels, theAce of Spades, seen mysmall flower garden thisspring he would’ve beenhorrified. It contained adozen beautiful tulipswithin a grassy, weedymess. Between my crazy fullspring schedule and morerainy days thansunny ones, the smallflower patch was neg-lected. It was a disas-ter. Yet the tulipsbloomed.

Seeing tulips thrivein less-than-ideal con-ditions pointed me tothe God of hope wholoves children. Thereare children every-where living in less-than-ideal conditions.Some live in home sit-uations that are a dis-couraging, ugly mess.

• No spiritual guid-ance

• Severed, dysfunctional families• Abuse• Poverty• Neglect• Rejection• IsolationAnd yet, like tulips sur-

rounded by weeds, Godcan still cause childrento grow, bloom andthrive.

After talking toMary Jo, a dearfriend and wisewoman, about anugly home situa-tion that grievesmy heart, she sentan e-mail filled withencouragement. The day afterwe talked she said that she opened herBible to read the Old Testament selec-tion that she was up to and it was 1Samuel.

The child we spoke about togetherwas fresh on her mind, and as she readshe was filled with hope by the wayGod took care of Samuel in difficult cir-cumstances. She wrote, “I guess itstruck me that right after Hannahdropped Samuel off at the temple tolive with Eli, she sang a song of praiseand then the Bible describes how

wicked Eli’s sons were.Samuel did not have an easylife, but God took care ofhim.”

Even though Samuel wassurrounded by the wicked-ness of Eli’s sons Hophniand Phinehas, the Lord waswith Samuel as he grew up,and he let none of his wordsfall to the ground (1 Samuel3:19).

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

“For I know the plans Ihave for you,” declaresthe Lord, “plans to pros-per you and not to harmyou, plans to give youhope and a future. Thenyou will call upon meand come and pray tome, and I will listen toyou. You will seek meand find me when youseek me with all yourheart. I will be found byyou.” (Jeremiah 29:11-14a)

Think about the childin your neighborhood or your extendedfamily for whom your heart grievesmost. God will do His part in the life of

each and every child. Will we doours by praying for children,

loving them and doingall that we can to pro-vide safe, nurturing

environments for thechildren in our homes,

neighborhoods and acrossthe world?Albert Einstein said, “The

world is a dangerous place tolive. Not because of the people

who are evil, but because of thepeople who don’t do anything

about it.”Let’s daily resolve to be people

who do something about it. Wemust do all we can to weed evil out

of the lives of children and pointthem to the God of hope.

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

When we cook, we transform the gifts of the earthinto nourishment for our bodies.

The title of the new cookbook by First PresbyterianChurch of Hinckley, Minn., “Gifts Great and Small,”reminds us that although we are surrounded by“great” gifts — peace in our land, relative prosperity,sunshine, chocolate, gravity — we should delight insmaller everyday gifts as well. Homemade brownies,garden peas and those first ears of summer sweetcorn are all mouthwatering testaments to the won-ders of our world.

For those on restricted diets, the book containsmany recipes that are low in fat, gluten-free, egg-freeand dairy-free. Whether you’re looking for a few newentrée ideas or a special beverage for those hot sum-mer days, your search will be rewarded in “GiftsGreat and Small.”

So let’s cook then! Here are some recipes celebrat-ing the bounty of our American farmers (and theirinternational partners). Let us give thanks for thefertile soil, the bountiful food, the energy to cook itand the family that eats it.

Picnic season means potato salad, and here’s a recipe

salt). Let cool, then dice into 1/2- to 3/4-inch cubes.Add chopped onions and eggs. In a blender, mix the

remaining ingredients; blend until smooth and pourover the potatoes, onions and eggs. Fold all of the ingre-dients together. Cold milk or water may be added toachieve the desired consistency. Cover with film wrapand refrigerate for 12 hours. Makes 60 1-cup servings.

This dessert is reminiscent of a popular dish servedat a local hospital to its patients on holidays and tolucky staff members at special feasts. The sweet-and-

salty crunch of the pretzel crust, the creamy dairylayer and the strawberries-in-gelatin topping areexquisite to taste and beautiful to look at, but thisdessert doesn’t stay pretty long. People really dig in.Four out of four “yums” from the Johnsons.Strawberry Pretzel DessertSubmitted by Herb Sikkink

ESSAGE >>

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

Could sugar beetsbecome a majorplayer in the produc-tion of renewablefuels, specificallyethanol? That intrigu-ing prospect was pre-sented by MaynardHelgaas, partner in a West Fargo, N.D.,firm called Green Vision Group.

According to Helgaas, GreenVision’s ambition is to be the catalystin building 12 processing facilitiesusing “energy beets” grown in the irri-gated agricultural areas aroundJamestown, N.D.

Some specifics:• Each plant to be designed with a

20 million gallon ethanol productioncapacity.

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Based on this concept we think each

plant could be operational about sixweeks after delivery of component parts,”Helgaas said. A major partner, especiallyin the design of the processing equip-ment, is Heartland Renewable Energy, aMuscatine, Iowa, firm with considerableengineering and technical expertise.

“I worked at a corn ethanol plant for28 years. I realized early in the gamethat corn was not the perfect way tomake ethanol,” said Rick Whittaker,president of Heartland RenewableEnergy. “We learned that the best bangfor your buck was with beets.”

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

According to Helgaas, this “energybeet” is similar to the current sugarbeet but slightly larger and it couldcarry a few more “impurities.” Purityof beets grown for the sugar market iscritical because of the delicate slicingthat starts the sugar-making process

and the resulting food-grade product.Potentially there might be several cul-tivars of the energy beet with greateryield and higher sugar content.

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

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

Therein lies the rub. The GreenVision Group intends to first build asmall-scale demonstration plant toverify the various mechanics andchemistries of their project. This two-million-gallon “demo plant” will costabout $7 million. “Venture capital

The questionable world economy defi-nitely has become a bit of challenge,” Helgaas said.Even Fagan Construction, the Granite Falls, Minn.,firm that rapidly became the construction leader ofethanol plants across America is hesitant to get on-board with front-end money on this project.

Helgaas has hopes the state of North Dakota, sud-denly “rich” because of its ballooning oil industry, mightstep up to the plate with some start-up economic devel-opment dollars. He ventures, too, that both Syngentaand Betaseed might become sustaining members.

He also indicated that a German research firm isclose to developing the chemistry that would permitlong-term storage of both the unprocessed sugarbeets and the molasses extracted via a screw-pressdesign. Long-term storage of the harvested beetsand the sugar juice would be vital to keep the pro-cessing plant operational year-round. “We anticipateabout a one-month shut down for maintenance andcleanup work for each plant. Besides the energybeet, we’re also looking at sugar cane as a potentialfeedstock plus, of course, the extracted molasses.”

According to preliminary feasibility work, the pro-cessing of sugar beets for ethanol requires only about1 1/2 gallons of water per 1 gallon of ethanol. Cornprocessing takes upwards of six to seven gallons ofwater per gallon of ethanol. NDSU agronomists aresuggesting a four-year rotation for potential growerswith corn, soybeans and wheat in the mix.

Other potential pluses for adding sugar beets intothe crop mix:

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

• Beets are more tolerant to alkaline soils.• Roundup Ready beet seed reduces chemical costs

and helps maintain a cleaner environment.• Beet harvest conveniently fits in after harvest of

soybeans and before corn harvest.• About a 10-day harvest schedule is projected to

handle the 30,000 acres grown for each plant.According to Helgaas, about 50 percent of the desig-

nated growing area for these 12 plants is irrigatedland so drought doesn’t necessarily figure as a majorimpediment to growing the crop. “Based on compara-tive yields and today’s commodity prices,” he said, “themodel suggests energy beets for ethanol could produceabout twice the net income per acre of any other crop.”

Perhaps a bit of a driving force in favor of this newindustrial crop is that North Dakota has lots of“wanna-be” sugar beet growers. But the Red RiverValley sugar beet industry is strictly limited to anacreage allocation program with each grower growingonly the beet acres he has under contract. Becausegrowing beets for ethanol would have no such acreageallocation, Helgaas and his group think a consider-able number of North Dakota farmers might stronglyconsider becoming energy beet farmers.

Using beets instead of corn also sidesteps the con-troversy associated with using a food product forfuel. The company hopes to produce 240 million gal-lons of ethanol. North Dakota has a current capacityto produce about 350 million gallons of corn ethanol.

This “new crop” may not even be in conflict withexisting corn producers. Tom Lilja, executive direc-tor of the North Dakota Corn Growers Association,said the state’s corn growers “hope anybody thatcan make a profit in agriculture finds a way to doso. We certainly hope they can make it work.”

Admittedly both time and money are slowing theproject right now. Experience with the proposedtwo-million-gallon demo plant may be needed to“get all the ducks lined up.”

“But we know interest is building,” Helgaas said.“And if our Congress gets real serious about reduc-ing our dependency on imported oils, we thinkenergy beets could rapidly become a major player inour renewable fuels industry.”

ILKER’S MESSAGE >>


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

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

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

Each turbine has three 25-foot blades with hollowcore component resins. The direct-drive system ismanufactured in Ohio. The magnet generator is Ital-ian-made and has tremendous reliability as a dieselgenerator in many commercial applications. Theyalready have 50 of these direct-drive units “in theground” in Minnesota, with another 60-plus in theplanning and permit application process for 2011.

Their primary turbine into the small-wind marketis a 39.9 kW unit. This size qualifies for the Min-nesota net metering program, which permits “sur-plus” electricity to be metered back to the local util-ity at the average “selling price” of electricity by thatparticular utility. This retail rate is about twice thewholesale rate at which wind farms sell. Rates are

going up about 5.4 percent annually in Minnesota,according to Thorp .

Renewable Energy SD installs their turbines on a160-foot steel lattice tower, which positions the hubat 164 feet. “That gets you up into that more stablewind area. The typical blade will be 189 feet, justbelow the 200-foot FAA ceiling limit.”Power and pricetags

How much electricity do they produce? In produc-tive wind areas, the Polaris 39.9 will deliver 160,000to 190,000 kWs annually. Based on an averagestatewide consumption of approximately 7,900 kwhper home annually, a single unit powers 20 Min-nesota homes.

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

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

Nicollet-area pork producer Warren Krohn sharedinformation with The Land on two Polaris systemsjust installed on their home farm this spring. “We’vegot Serial No. 1 and Serial No. 3 so we obviouslyhave the very newest units of this design,” Krohnsaid. He, wife, Rachel, and sons Brent, 26, and Bryce,20, plus their business partner at their sow farm,raise about 40,000 pigs per year. Wind is now a

WIND, from pg. 8Amajor energy provider for this farmingoperation. They have six units at threelocations, all within a mile of eachother. The first two towers are 3-phase,the rest are single-phase.Early adopters

Looking toward the future, theKrohns realized wind energy was rap-idly becoming a growing force becauseof Minnesota’s net metering law whichallows Minnesota residents to put“small wind” electricity back onlineand get paid at the same rate as whattheir local utility charges. Also there isa federal government mandate that 25percent of the state’s energy (wind,solar, etc.) be renewable by 2025.According to Krohn, their local energyprovider is already 20 percent windgenerated, strongly driven by “UncleSam” paying 30 percent of the develop-ment costs.

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

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

The several confinement hog barnsin the Krohn operation are highenergy consumers, especially duringthe summer with dozens of exhaustfans in operation. “We use about$1,000 of electricity per month duringthat summer schedule but that dropsconsiderably into fall and winter. Weshould be doing some net meteringback to our local utility from Decemberto May,” Krohn said.

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

seven years these units should be paidfor,” Krohn said.

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

How did the Krohns zero in on thePolaris brand? “We found that othersare still gear-box driven. And based onresearch we did, plus conversationswith other wind users, the paybackjust wasn’t there with these olderstyles. Lots more maintenance pluswhen you go from a gear-driven to adirect-drive system there’s a 25 to 30percent savings in energy expended.Which is the same as saying it takesconsiderably less wind to generate thesame amount of electricity.

“Our generator spins at the samespeed as the blades, which is between50 and 67 rpm. But in gear-drivenunits, that gear box cranks up the gen-erator to 1,800 rpm on an equivalentwind basis. That’s why you’ve gotmaintenance issues, plus you lose‘horse power’ in the process. Our unitskick in at 6 mph. At 23 mph, it’s gener-ating at that 39.9 kW capacity. At 56mph winds, the system automaticallylocks up and stops.”

Could an influx of small wind genera-tors impact the cost of electricity? Thatconcern sparked some legislative dis-cussion about net metering, i.e.,whether it should even exist. But factsget distorted, and educating peopleabout the “whole story” to show themany benefits of new business in ruralMinnesota is important. For example,most of the “big wind” turbines sprout-ing across Iowa and southern and west-ern Minnesota are 2.2 mgw or larger.

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

“Plus you don’t need to rebuild thegrid to handle small wind. The moneythese little units like we have, all staysin Minnesota. ‘Big Wind’ often has out-of-state owners which certainly doesn’t

help the tax issues of Minnesota,”Krohn said.

If a small wind tower generates$10,000 revenue per year, it is in factalso generating about $800 tax rev-enue at the 8 percent tax rate. Andthat’s a deposit into the state revenuecoffers every year, year after year.

What tax revenue to Minnesota fromthe big towers? If the ownership is allout of state, you know the answer.

weatherSummer has finally arrived to the Upper Midwest.

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

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

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

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

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

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

ing June 24.CORN — A tsunami wave of fund selling this week

rolled over the corn market, joined by a stronger U.S.dollar, sharply lower energy markets, the absence ofa weather threat and mixed eco-nomic news pushed corn pricesto their lowest level since March.

The July and September con-tracts locked down the 30-centlimit mid-week on fund sellingand when earlier forecasts thatmentioned a possible high pres-sure ridge building in the Mid-west were toned down. Warmer,drier weather is anticipated forthe next week, but a blockingridge or dome is not expected todevelop.

The exit of money from com-modity markets in general was noticeable through-out the week. Persistent rumors circulated aboutChinese interest in the United States, but nothingconcrete surfaced during the week. Weekly ethanolproduction was up 2.4 percent as corn pricesplunged.

Weekly export sales were in-line with projectionsat 16 million bushels for old crop and 4.7 millionbushels for new crop. U.S. corn is competitive intosouthern China. There were rumors circling thetrade this week that China had bought U.S. corn,although there was never any confirmation. SouthKorea did buy one cargo of U.S. corn and passed onanother.

Crop conditions should hold steady this week as

Livestock AnglesJune positive for livestock

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

The cattle market has experienced a sharp rallycoming on the heels of short cov-ering in the futures market andaggressive buying by the pack-ers. The large discount thefutures were carrying createdhedges to be lifted as the basiswas at an unusual discount tothe current cash trade.

This blossomed into the pack-ers paying higher prices for liveinventory since their profit mar-gin was extremely positive.These events created the sharprally in both cash and futuresover the past few weeks.

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

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

NYSTROM, from pg. 10Athe benefits from sun in some areas are offset byheavy rains in others. Informa Economics is estimat-ing that only 8 percent of the U.S. corn crop will besilking by July 3 versus 12 percent on average.

The Greek government survived a vote of confi-dence last week, paving the way to receive their fullJuly bailout payment from the European Union andInternational Monetary Fund. The lenders still wantto see further austerity measures before fully com-mitting to the next payment. The weakness of theeuro has been supplying strength to the U.S. dollar.The Federal Open Market Com-mittee met this week (a part ofthe Federal Reserve).

In their released statements andpress conference, they said the economic recovery isoccurring at a slower pace than expected, interestrates will stay low for an extended period of time, noQE3 is currently planned and growth targets wererevised slightly lower.

OUTLOOK: July corn options expired as webrought the week to a close, pushing corn evenlower. Since June 10 when July corn hit the recordhigh of $7.99 3/4 to this week’s low of $6.39, Julycorn lost 20 percent of its value or $1.60 3/4 perbushel. For the December contract, from the June 9high at $7.22 3/4 to this week’s low of $6.20, the pricehas fallen 14.2 percent or $1.02 3/4 per bushel. Whilethis drop in value is more than the previous two

pullbacks, we need to see demand or fundbuying interest pick up to stifle

another tumble. Cash marketswere steady/better with a pipelinethat is extremely tight. July corn fell

another 30 1/4 cents this week to settle at $6.70 andthe December corn lost 28 cents at $6.32 per bushel.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans extended last week’slosses on improving crop conditions, money exitingand following corn’s lead. Weaker energy marketsand a stronger U.S. dollar also contributed to theweak price action. However, there was a small resur-facing of demand for new crop bushels.

China bought 120,000 metric tons of new crop, inaddition to rolling some old crop purchases to newcrop shipment. Weekly export sales for this yearwere a net negative 1.2 million bushels, droppingtotal sales commitments for the year down to 7 per-cent ahead of last year. New crop sales this weekwere 8.7 million bushels. In May, we crushed 128

million bushels of soy-beans. This was slightlyhigher than in April, butdown 3.7 percent fromlast year.

OUTLOOK: Weather isfront and center for soy-bean price direction.Without threateningforecasts, new crop soy-

beans could test the Maylow of $12.87 1/4 in the

November contract. For theweek, July beans were down

12 3/4 cents at $13.20 1/4 andNovember beans were 24 cents

lower at $13.09 1/4 per bushel. Soy-beans are playing second fiddle to both

corn and wheat, so we will look for them to play thefollower role until we see the June 30 stocks andacreage numbers.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the weekending June 24 — Minneapolis wheat crashed 711/4 cents lower, Kansas City wheat fell 56 cents andChicago wheat was down 36 1/2 cents. The Interna-tional Energy Agency this week surprisinglyannounced the release of 60 million barrels of crudeoil, 30 million of which will come from our StrategicPetroleum Reserves. This is only the third time thatthe IEA has done this, while there have been severaltimes the SPR has been tapped. Many were ques-tioning the timing of this action since the U.S. retailprice of gasoline has been falling daily for over thelast three weeks. For the week, WTI crude oil wasdown $2.24 at $91.16, Brent crude oil was down$7.69 at $105.52, heating oil was 23.3 cents lower,gasoline fell 17 cents and natural gas dropped 9.6cents.

MARKETING

TEALE, from pg. 10Athe rapid rally experienced by the cattle.

In recent weeks there has been fair demand forpork product, which has warranted packers aggres-sively accumulating product. The available numbersof hogs has been fairly consistent and, with therenewed interest for product and the strength in thecattle market, hogs began to follow higher.

A problem has begun to arise, though. As the porkcutout rose, the demand for product has once againslowed. This is, of course, a concern as to whether therecent rally can be sustained as we come into more

available inventories of live animals.Seasonal patterns would also suggest that we have

more than likely put in the late-spring high, so anextended rally would more than likely not be in thepicture in the weeks ahead.

From an economic standpoint, demand for porkproduct will also be in question as discretionaryincome is shrinking from inflation and high taxes,causing less money to be available for more expen-sive cuts of meat. This would suggest that producersbe extremely careful and protect inventories on thecurrent rally.

Be careful, protect inventories on rally

NEHER, from pg. 10Aold trading adage “buy the rumor, sell the fact” maybe at work. I do not believe that the volatility has leftthe markets and that there will be plenty of reaction.

There will be plenty of volatility in the basis aswell as the futures prices. The current hot spots forbasis bids are around the ethanol plants. Ethanolplants typically have less storage and must rely on asteady flow of grain from the country. The fact that itis difficult to fix ethanol prices for more than 30days, keeps more of their buying in the nearby mar-kets.

In their efforts to manage margins, they try to keeptheir input costs closely tied to the price of ethanol.

This creates some opportunity to capture somestrong basis moves that may only be available for ashort time. As we make our final old crop sales onecould capture a Grain Angle by checking around forbids in the market, more often than not.

As we wrap up our spraying and clean up ourequipment from the planting season, we have a littletime to enjoy the summer activities. Some like toplay golf, while others like to fish or go camping.Many in these parts of the country enjoy a familycabin.

It is a time for families to come together and enjoynature and the great outdoors. Let us take the timeto appreciate the relationships that we have withfriends and family during the next few weeks.

May milk production in the top 23dairy states hit 16 billion pounds,according to the U.S. Department ofAgriculture’s preliminary estimate, up1.5 percent from May 2010, and thehighest month on record, according toFC Stone dairy economist Bill Brooks.

May’s 50-state total was 17.3 billionpounds, up 1.3 percent from a year

ago. Revisions added 3 million poundsto the 23-state April estimate, puttingit at 15.5 billion, up 1.7 percent from ayear ago.

May cow numbers in the 23 majordairy states totaled 8.45 million head,up 15,000 from April, and 103,000more than a year ago. Output per cowaveraged 1,899 pounds, up 6 poundsfrom 2010.

California’s May milk production was

up 3.7 percent from a yearago, thanks to 17,000 morecows and a 55-pound gainper cow. Wisconsin wasdown 1.8 percent, on a 40-pound loss per cow, thoughcow numbers were up 5,000head. New York was down1.4 percent, due to a 25-pound loss per cow, whilecow numbers wereunchanged. Idaho was up5.4 percent, on 18,000more cows and a 40-pound gain per cow.Pennsylvania was off0.8 percent on a 20-pound loss per cow.Cow numbers were up 2,000 head.Minnesota was down 2.7 percent, on a50-pound loss per cow. Cow numberswere up a thousand head.

The biggest increase occurred inTexas, up 8.8 percent, thanks to 20,000more cows and a 70-pound gain percow. Colorado was next, up 6.7 percent,followed by Arizona, up 6.4 percent.The biggest decline was in Ohio, down5.9 percent, followed by Illinois at 4percent, and Missouri, down 3 percent.

The USDA’s latest Livestock Slaugh-ter report shows an estimated 220,000culled dairy cows were “retired” fromthe dairy industry in May, down about17,800 head from April, but 10,900more than May 2010. January-to-May2011 dairy cow slaughter was esti-mated at 1.24 million head, up 83,300from the same period in 2010. Com-pared to May 2010, culling increased inthe East, Southeast and Midwest, butdeclined in the Southwest.

The USDA’s weekly update reportsmilk production across the country is“at or on both sides of seasonal highlevels.” Hot humid weather, especiallyin the southern tier of states fromFlorida to Arizona, was significantlyinfluencing a down tick in milk volume.Further north, hot humid weathermoderated in some areas but milk vol-umes lost during the period were hav-ing difficulty recovering.

Triple-digit temperatures hit Califor-nia’s Central Valley and hotter-than-normal weather was expected toremain until the weekend, according tothe Chicago Mercantile Exchange’sDaily Dairy Report. Temperatures arefairly typical in the Upper Midwestand Northeast leaving cows in goodcondition, according to the DDR.Extremely hot, dry weather in Arizona,New Mexico and Texas was putting adent in productivity. Output is declin-

ing more quickly in Florida,where heat and humidity isimpacting cow comfort.

Class I demand is settlinginto “summer mode,” accord-ing to the USDA. Mostschools have closed for thesummer, thus bottling sched-ules are geared toward retailneeds which aren’t great.Cream market trends werefirming and butter prices

were trending slightlyhigher but that mayreverse with this week’s

drop in cash butter.Cream demand is showing gains fromice cream accounts, however, withincreasing interest noted. Offerings aremoderate to heavy for this time of theseason and holding up well.

Fluid milk sales continue to be a chal-lenge to the dairy industry. The USDAestimates that just over 4.4 billionpounds were sold in April, down 2.3 per-cent from April 2010 after being adjustedfor calendar composition. Estimatedsales of total conventional fluid milkproducts decreased 2.9 percent from2010 though total organic fluid milkproducts sales increased 19.9 percent.

The cash markets showed little reac-tion to the USDA’s Milk Productionreport Monday as it awaited Wednes-day’s Cold Storage data and showed lit-tle reaction to that. The block cheeseprice closed the last Friday of June at$2.13 per pound, up a penny on theweek, 72 cents above that week a yearago, and averaged $2.13 for the week,up from $2.1125 the previous week.

The barrels closed at $2.0775, also upa penny on the week, 68.25 cents abovea year ago and averaged $2.0695, downfrom $2.0725 the previous week. Onlyfour cars of block and none of barreltraded hands on the week. TheNational Agricultural Statistics Ser-vice-surveyed U.S. average block pricehit $1.9514, up 16.1 cents, while thebarrels averaged $1.9924, up 13.6 cents.

Spot butter closed at $2.06, down 8cents on the week, but 34 cents above ayear ago, and averaged $2.10 on theweek, down from $2.14 the previousweek. Nine cars sold on the week. NASSbutter averaged $2.1188, down 2.7 cents.

MIELKE MARKETWEEKLY

By Lee Mielke

MARKETING


June 7 was too windy— and too hot, at a blaz-ing 104 F — for aerialcrop work, so 27-yearveteran aerial applica-tor Rich Sigurdson ofOlivia, Minn., took afew minutes for aninterview with The Land.

“This spring brought in a little morework than normal,” he said, “and we’realready working different crops. This isthe latest for putting crops in the groundsince I’ve been in the business.”

So far this spring, most of his flyinghas been herbicide work on sugar beets,corn and soybeans. He’s also doing insec-ticide work on cutworms in sugar beetfields.

Sugar beets are a huge crop in his area, so withfields too wet for ground applications it’s airplanes tothe rescue. Piloting his Air Tractor (that’s the actualname) at 140 mph and with a 64-foot swath, he’s cov-ering 125 acres — even up to 200 acres — per hourdepending upon the product being applied and thecrop below his wings.

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

His Air Tractor 502B is turbine powered and has a500-gallon product tank. At a two-gallon applicationrate, that math works out to 250 acres per fill. That’simportant in aerial application work when time is

critical, especially considering the winds of Min-nesota. Generally, lower gallon rates apply to mostherbicides; higher rates (up to 5 gallon per acre) withsome of the fungicides.Expensive business

He’s one of almost 150 licensed aerial applicatorsin Minnesota. Sigurdson started as a 19-year-old.Two local college students are working with him thisseason. Their task is mixing the various products,precisely loading the right amount of each productfor each fill, keeping the loading pad clean andrestocking new chemicals as needed.

One of his employees will be enrolling in the two-year aerial applicators program at Crookston Com-munity College this fall. Sigurdson said, “Our aver-

age age is getting up there, probablyclose to 50 now. Used to be quite a fewyounger guys getting into this workbut the tremendous costs have slowedthat drastically.”

Spray planes are expensive. A newAir Tractor costs about $800,000. “Butsmaller and less costly airplanes arealso available,” he said. “It’s where Iwas several years back and that’s OKfor getting a start. Insurance is thebug-a-boo. Very expensive, like severalthousand dollars per year for my rig.And often a first-year pilot can’t evenget insurance.

“Today technology is big time, espe-cially with GPS providing preciseswath patterns plus guiding us fromfield to field and back to the hangar;also adjustable flow rates depending

on the product. Plus planes are simply stronger andbetter than they used to be.”Power and reliability

Sigurdson is big on turbine power. “When turbinescame into the market for us aerial applicators, itwas a huge step forward. The reliability factor is so

Rich Sigurdson

Rich Sigurdson’s AirTractor 502B sits parked in his “drive-through” hangar,grounded from spraying this day due to high winds and high temperatures.

PLANE, from pg. 13Amuch more than with a piston-pow-ered plane. I’ve flown Air Tractorsnow for about 20 years. I think theymake the best spray plane in the mar-ket. Plus they haul more; they get youto your target fields quicker. We allremember those earlier days withsmaller planes when we’d use thenearest road for reloading; only 65 to80 gallon tanks, too.”

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

“About every 1,200 hours we breakthe engine down and look at the com-ponents,” he said. “That’s called a ‘hot

section’ inspection and you replaceonly what is needed.”Time is money

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

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

Acknowledging the hazards of his

profession, Sigurdson admits to crash-landing twice due to engine failure.Fortunately he received no bodily dam-age from either incident.

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

The Minnesota Agricultural AircraftAssociation is the “governing board”for aerial applicators. A board of direc-tors is elected at each state conven-tion. Some considerations of theMAAA:

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

of chemicals.• Aerial applicators must have a

commercial pilot license as well as aletter of competency to work as anagricultural pilot.

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

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

• Aerial applicators are required bylaw to keep detailed records of everyapplication and make those recordsavailable to MDA inspectors as well asveterinarians and health professionalsthroughout the state.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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