EXPERT ANALYSIS

David Kohl onthe wild world ofglobal economics

When David Kohl talks “the wild world ofglobal economics” everyone listens.

A retired 25-year veteran of agfinance and small businessmangement, Kohl said global eco-

nomics the past decade has positioned agriculture andag lending with many opportunities. On the flip side, ithas also created risks and more opportunities to fail.

“The stakes are high today. Agriculture hasbecome extremely capital intensive. The rewardshave been and continue to be potentially great, andexciting. But with greater rewards come greaterrisks,” Kohl said.

He indicated the Return on Assets for America’s top20 percent of producers has been greater than 10 per-cent for the last 15years. But are theresome “black swans”lurking out there?Oil and Middle Eastunrest is the biggestblack swan. Oil hit-ting $200 and $6gasoline could hap-pen. U.S. public debtissues cloud the hori-zon. So too the Eurosector and its grow-ing linkage withChina. And don’tignore terrorists, dis-eases and naturaldisasters.BRICS ahead

What’s ahead? “BRICS” is the nomenclature andit represents the emerging nations of Brazil, Rus-sia, India, China and South Africa. Currently thesefive countries represent 20 percent of the worldeconomy but 50 percent of world growth into thenext decade. Ten years back China ranked seventhin the world’s economy; today China is second.Brazil went from 14th to sixth.

“Food, fuel and fiber are what these emergingnations demand. And the market goes to whomevercan be the most competitive supplier. That continuesto be the United States. China continues at an amaz-ing 8 percent growth rate. If/when that drops to 5percent, the market price of U.S. farm commoditiestakes a beating. If growth drops to 3 percent, then $3corn, $6 beans and $50 oil are very likely,” Kohl said.

— David Kohl

Connecting with theconsumer has been amantra for producers oflate. Getting the nextgeneration in tune withwhere their food origi-nates is important, butalso may be daunting.

The May issue of Pio-neer Hi-Bred’s Grow-ingPoint magazine tooka look at what tomor-row’s voters and con-sumers know aboutagriculture. Theyasked third-grade students fromMaryland, Missouri, New York andIowa a series of questions aboutfarming and agriculture.

Pioneer posed 17 questions tothe third graders. Having a third-grade teacher in my household, Ithought it would be interesting topose some of the same questions toher Mankato, Minn., class. Theseeight questions were simplyhanded to the students, withoutany previous lesson or priming, toget a true first impression fromthe youth.

Following are a sample of theresponses from the Mankato thirdgraders, as well as a smatteringfrom the Pioneer quiz.

Keep in mind, this was an unsci-entific survey, but the answers areinteresting, entertaining andsomewhat eye-opening.Where does meat come from?

For the most part the youthnailed this one.

Europe. A call for country of ori-gin labeling?

Chicken.From farms.Chicken, cow.Cows, pigs.Cow, chicken, horse, pigs.Cow, chicken, rooster, goat.Male cow.Pigs and cows.Animals.

How big is a farm?Initial perceptions are as varied

as those of people who have beenaround the agricultural world for

quite some time.5 miles.8 feet.20 yards.Too big.3 acres.Very big.About 4 or 5 yards.I don’t know exactly,

but I am guessing a cou-ple acres.

30 feet.Big as a school.20 yards on each

side.Like a little house.Really big.Really big, 18 feet I think.As big as Walmart.30 feet.

What does a tractor do?Water the corn.It sucks corn in.Plow.I don’t know.Drives and other things.Mow the grass.Gets the weeds out.A tractor can pull hay and it can

plow.Pulls a plow.They plow the field.Plant seeds and harvest plants.Cut grass.Haul and plow things down.Lines up your corn fields.Puts seeds in the farm garden.I do not know.

What does corn need to grow?The basic concept is understood.Grain.Water.Corn needs water to grow.Water, sun.Seeds.Sunlight and water.Sunlight, warmth and water.Corn.Sunlight.Rain and sun.

Where does milk come from?Most all of the Mankato students

knows where moo-juice comesfrom, except for when the animaldoesn’t actually moo.

Cows.Cow, goat.

Female cow.What does a farm look like?

Just like the question on farmsize, perception varies on what afarm looks like.

It looks like a square with lots ofcorn.

Red.Farm is where chickens and cows

are.Big.He wears a hat and has a lot of

work to do.They’re red or white.A farm has a lot of animals, a

barn and maybe a farm house.Big red.There is a field and they keep

the animals in the barn.A farm has lots of animals, has

sheep, cows, etc.Red and white.In the country and have barns

and animals.Has chickens and pigs and some-

times horses.Food, house.Big and with animals and

plants.What is a bushel?

Most knew a grain such as cornwas involved somehow.

Bags of corn.A lot of corn.Acre.Hay.I have no idea; I don’t really

know anything about a farm.A bunch.A bushel is a middle-sized bunch

or a big bunch of something likehay.

Like corn.A pack of corn.The outside that’s green of corn.A basket of corn.Pack.Ear.A basket.

How much does a bushel ofcorn cost?

We’ve all seen market jumps, butnot like some of these guesses.

$15.$2.

The 2012 legislative session will godown in history as the Vikings sta-dium session, but you may be surprisedto know how much got done in St. Paulwhen it comes to farm and food issues.

At the end of April, Gov. Mark Daytonsigned into law the 2012 OmnibusAgriculture Policy bill. The legislation,which received broad bipartisan sup-port, streamlined and modernizedstatutes covering food safety enforce-ment, grain trade and renewable fuels.

Among other things, the billupdated the statutory language gov-erning the Minnesota Department ofAgriculture’s Dairy and Food Inspec-tion Division by consolidatingenforcement provisions and creating

one chapterthat clearly

described theenforcement options for food productcategories overseen by the MDA.

The bill also updated state grainstatutes for the 21st century, repealingnearly 150 statutes and rules whilemodernizing the remaining statutes toreflect today’s marketplace. Languagewas changed to eliminate multiplereporting requirements, eliminatemultiple bond types and streamlinelicensing processes.

Another section of the bill fine-tunedthe course of biofuels in Minnesota byextending Minnesota’s E20 mandatefor two years and directing agencies to

develop recommendations for incorpo-rating biofuels other than ethanol intothe mandate. The bill also extendedexceptions onto the state’s biodieselrequirement for three more years,while directing the MDA to developproposals for evaluating the excep-tions with an eye toward ending them.

I was pleased that the omnibus ag billalso made two smart investments in thefuture of Minnesota agriculture. First, thebill extended the Agricultural Growth,Research and Innovation funding to June2015. This AGRI fund was created in 2009as the state’s ethanol payments were wind-ing down, and the program goal is to pro-mote the advancement of the state’s agri-cultural and renewable energy industries.The second wise investment the bill makesis the creation of a Dairy Research, Teach-ing and Consumer Education Authority.This public-private entity was proposed bythe Minnesota Milk Producers Associationto raise money from the private sector toinvigorate our dairy sector.

The state made an additional invest-ment in agriculture during the session’s

closing days, when Gov. Dayton and law-makers agreed to a bonding bill thatincluded $33 million for the RuralFinance Authority. This money will beused to help local ag lenders make creditavailable to beginning farmers as well asestablished farmers looking to make on-farm improvements to boost productiv-ity, profitability and conservation.

It’s easy to be jaded about governmentand politics these days, but we can beproud that agriculture remains an areaof public policy where both parties canwork together. A big portion of the creditfor this goes to the chairs of the Houseand Senate agriculture committees.That’s why I was sorry to see Senate agcommittee Chair Doug Magnus retire.Magnus is a good friend who always didwhat he knew to be best for Minnesotafarmers. I wish him the best in his retire-ment, and I will always be thankful forhis partnership and friendship.

Since you speak English aswell as anyone, perhaps youunderstand the workingparagraph of a May 19Washington Post columnthat explains the tradingstrategy employed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. to, ah,hedge its market risk. Itreads:

“It is this exemption thatwould allow (J.P. Morganexecutive, Ina) Drew andher team to hedge thecredit on the bank’sunusually large portfolio ofcorporate bonds by purchasing a ‘syn-thetic’ derivatives instrument whosevalue would go up when a widely-traded index of more than 120-blue-chip corporate bonds went down — orvice versa. But it was also broadenough that it would make it possiblefor them to later hedge their originalhedge and move aggressively to takethe other side of the bet.”

See what I mean?Three “hedges,” a “vice versa” and “a

‘synthetic’ derivatives instrument”and I’m a puddle of muddle. You wantto take a guess?

What is quite clear, how-ever, is that Morgan’s so-called hedge wasn’t a hedgethat any farmer or rancher— here or anywhere —would recognize. Therewasn’t one kernel of corn orone thread of honestyunderlying it. Pure andsimple, it was a naked bet,raw speculation, andhedges, by definition in anylanguage, are exactly the

opposite.The Post article — link

to it and other documentsat www.farmandfoodfile.com — wasone the few pieces of journalism torecognize this difference and to callthis fat slab of pork a pig: “It all hasvery little to do with hedging and a lotto do with gambling.”

By pure coincidence, just as the Mor-gan Mess was again wobbling both theglobal financial markets and theknees of Washington regulators, thefutures market — the place whereactual hedges are placed — was againexpanding its trading hours.

On May 20, trading in the ChicagoMercantile Exchange Groups’ key ag

contracts moved to 21 hours per day,from 5 p.m. one day until 2 p.m., Cen-tral Time, the following day.

The expanded hours, explains theCME, will give market “customers ...greater access to the unparalleled liq-uidity, depth and product choice ofCBOT,” the old Chicago Board ofTrade, “Grain, oilseed and ethanolfutures and options markets ...”

It also will give farmers and ranch-ers unparalleled heartburn on dayswhen key U.S. Department of Agricul-ture acreage, production, storage andlivestock reports are released becausemarkets impacted by the reports willbe trading as the numbers are madeknown.

As such, the very markets that aremeant to protect producers from beingburned by volatility could becomeinstant bonfires and — what’s wrongwith this picture? — the governmentwill be bringing the gasoline.

Facing enormous risks on reportdays, country elevators, ethanol plantsand other grain market participantsare expected to either widen the basis,the gap, between futures and cashprices to limit market exposure or juststop buying grain until the market

“trades” the report and establishes amore-firm view of price.

Worse yet, none of this is aboutmaking markets more efficient orprice discovery more transparent.Indeed, the hours of the Chicago agmarkets were expanded as a competi-tive response to the threat of anothercommodity exchange, the Interconti-nental (which loves to be known asthe ICE; get it, ICE?), thatannounced in April it would begintrading ags in May.

So, less than four years and nearly$500 billion of taxpayer money to savethe banking system from the bankers,six months after MF Global torchedcommodity markets, farmers andranchers for $1.5 billion in an implosivebankruptcy and a month after Morganadmitted it fell into a black hole of itsown making, commodity markets arenow offering “unparalleled liquidity,depth and product choice.”

Gee, I wonder how that’s going toturn out.

By SARAH JOHNSONThe Land Correspondent

“97 Orchard” was theaddress of a real NewYork City tenement,filled with the bodies anddreams of immigrantsfrom an astounding vari-ety of places over thecourse of its lifetime.

Author Jane Ziegel-man, a Brooklynite whoruns the city’s TenementMuseum, chose this building as the back-drop for a fascinating study into theimmigrants’ eating habits, in her book “97Orchard:An Edible History of Five Immi-grant Families in One New York Tene-ment.”By examining what and how thesefolks ate, readers get an education aboutAmerica’s past in bite-sized pieces.

The author introduces us to 97Orchard with the first family, the Glock-ners, hardworking immigrants fromGermany who eventually build (and livein) the tenement itself among theirmostly German neighbors.

Following waves of immigration fromvarious parts of Europe, the tenement isreborn again and again with a new set offaces, languages and cuisines: first Irish,then German Jews, then Lithuanian

Jews,and finally, Italians.Each immigrantgroup brought new flavors to the Americanstew pot, and we follow the characters ontheir journeys to bring the best of the OldWorld food traditions to the New.

While German in origin, sauerkrautwas consumed in America by everyone,cutting across ethnic and economicboundaries. Rich or poor, young or old,everybody loved sauerkraut. It was theGerman-American homes and eatingestablishments that were responsible forproviding this item, and they took it seri-ously. Sauerkraut preparations started inearly winter and lasted several weeks,creating quite a pungent atmosphere inthe close quarters of the tenement.

Chopping a year’s worth of cabbage wastoo much work for most mere mortals, so

housewives depended on the neighbor-hood cabbage shaver, who carried a man-dolin-like tool from door to door, shavingcabbage into threads for a penny a head.The cabbage was then put in a barrelwith brine and tended religiously until itwas ready to eat. Sauerkraut making wasa stinky but beloved chore in those days.The first taste of a new batch of kraut wasoccasion for joy and thankfulness.

A popular street figure was once the“sauerkraut man,” a walking version oftoday’s hot-dog cart who offered hotsausages with (of course) kraut andpotato salad from a large, metallic, strap-on box. Eventually companies like Heinzstarted commercially producing sauer-kraut, and the days of shaving and brin-ing cabbage at home came to an end.

■

Simmering sauerkraut in wine andpeppercorns tenderizes and sweetens thissimple cabbage concoction called BoiledSauerkraut. It pairs nicely with mashedpotatoes and lots of good summer foodslike grilled brats, steaks or pork chops.Boiled Sauerkraut

Bring to a boil one cup water and onecup white wine. Add the sauerkraut,roughly 3 cups, a few peppercorns and alittle salt. Simmer until tender. Shortlybefore serving, pour off the broth and stirin a few tablespoons butter. Serve as aside dish alongside mashed potatoes.

■

The German Jewish Gumpertz familywas the model family of another section,filled with reminisces of kosher kitchenssimilar to, but also different from, theLithuanian Jews like the Rogarshevskys,who fled Europe’s devastating poverty andanti-Semitism. They remembered EllisIsland mostly as a place of wondrous foodsserved in mountainous proportions. In the1940s, health-conscious New Yorkersflocked to what were called “dairy restau-rants,” which served all sorts of fancydishes with meat substitutes, including awide variety of traditional Jewish foodslike faux chopped liver and chicken giblets.Here is a classic recipe from that era; sur-prisingly, the “liver” flavor comes from themashed peas. It’s delicious if you like thingslike pate or braunschweiger, which meant Ihad to go outside my family to find reliabletaste testers. Four out of four “yums” fromthe Johnson neighbors.Vegetarian Chopped Liver

3 medium-sized onions, chopped3 tablespoons vegetable oil1 large can sweet peas, drained1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts2 hard-boiled eggs, choppedSauté the onion in the oil until they are

soft and golden. Mash peas with the back

of a fork. Combine onion and peas withremaining ingredients and chop by handuntil you have the desired consistency. Ifyou like, you can use a food processor, butbe careful not to over-process. Seasonwith salt and a generous dose of freshlyground black pepper.

■

The final immigrant group at 97Orchard was the Italians, represented bythe Baldizzi family. Italian cookery is uber-familiar to most Americans today, and it’sbecause these immigrants flat-out refusedto give up their garlic, tomato sauce andpastas. I personally want to thank them fortheir stubbornness. Fine desserts, too, wereon the menu, such as this almond brittlethat’s got just a hint of lemon.Croccante (Almond Brittle)

3 cups blanched sliced almonds2 cups sugar1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil1 lemon, cut in halfPreheat oven to 400 F. Liberally grease a

baking tray with the vegetable oil and setaside. Spread almonds on a second trayand toast in hot oven, until golden, about 5minutes. Heat sugar in a heavy-bottomedsaucepan and cook until sugar has com-pletely melted.Add almonds and stir. Pourhot mixture onto greased baking tray,using the cut side of the lemon to spreadevenly.Allow to cool and break into pieces.

■

Even though the Irish were the secondimmigrant group to move into 97Orchard, I saved them for last in thisreview because their story seems particu-larly sad. Having survived starvationconditions for generations, the Irishimmigrants did not possess many culi-nary skills or old family recipes. If hiredas kitchen help — and many were — theIrish domestics had to be taught from theground up. In Ireland they had used out-door peat fires to cook on, and knew fewtechniques beyond boiling, so their edu-cation included the use of stoves and thepreparation of everything besides pota-toes and oatmeal.

The point being: You can’t have a greatculinary tradition if there’s nothing to eat.This book leaves your mind as well asyour mouth with something to chew on.

The woman who was check-ing out ahead of me in a localmart, swiped her credit card,looked at me and asked, “Doyou have the day off?”

She asked me as if she knewwho I was. This happens to mefrequently and not just in Min-nesota. There’s a waitress inCalifornia who thinks the guywho works at the corner videostore is my twin, and there’s awoman from Alberta, a gal fromNew Jersey, and another woman who I met in an air-port who at first thought they knew me and then won-dered if I was a sister or cousin to people I don’t know.Before you think my parents were fooling around, theyweren’t. I’ve decided I must have a common face.Unless directly asked, I go with the flow and chitchatwith strangers who think we’re long lost friends.

“I do have the day off,” I said. “How about you?”She was flushed. “No, I’m trying to run as many

errands as I can during my lunch hour so I can rushhome after work.”

The woman was obviously rattled. I said, “Take deepbreaths as you drive back to work. You’ll feel better.”

She didn’t wait until she got in her car. As she puther credit card in her handbag and her bags in thecart, she took two cleansing breaths. “Thank you,”she said. “That feels better already.”

Although Mother’s Day 2012 is now history, I’mstill thinking on it. At mother-daughter banquets

and similar gather-ings, I’ve learnedsome of the beautifulthings that have beenpassed down fromgeneration to genera-tion — a love of read-ing, a green thumb,quilting, baking,organization, andmost importantly,faith. That’s family atits best — lovinglyand intentionallypassing the baton offaith, creativity, workethic and values tothe next generation.

It’s with Mother’sDay cards on my errand list that I talked to the breath-less woman in front of me and again realized that noteverything we model and pass on is good. If I asked thiswoman if she wanted her children to grow up frazzledand drained, always feeling two steps behind, I believeshe’d have given me an emphatic no. I could see shedidn’t want it for herself, she certainly didn’t desire itfor her children and future grandchildren.

Some weeks are breathless. Things happen that wedidn’t plan on. People get sick and die, they move, orcelebrate monumental milestones that require extraplanning. Some seasons of life are fuller than others.Farm families know the unique timetable demands

to planting and harvesting.The danger comes when overload isn’t limited to a

season; it’s a way of life. No matter who you are we allneed space to breathe and to just be instead of to do.

Claude Debussy said, “Music is the space between the

notes.” With space, music is a symphony instead ofcacophony. The same is true for the space in our souls.

THE BACK PORCH

By Lenae Bulthuis

The dangercomes whenoverload isn’tlimited to aseason; it’s away of life. Nomatter whoyou are we allneed space tobreathe and tojust be insteadof to do.

GLOBAL, from pg. 1He’s not bashful telling his audience

that the economic growth of BRICS isprimarily what’s fueling the unprece-dented richness of American agricul-ture. He reminded that some thinkthe U.S. economy is faltering. “But doyou realize that in just one hourAmerica generates more economicproductivity (dollars), than 25 percentof the world’s countries generate in anentire year!”

The United States today has a $15trillion economy; China, the secondbiggest economy in the world is at $6

trillion.“The long term viability of these

nations will be defined by the way theyhandle adversity,” Kohl said. He alsocautions about the growing entitle-ment mentality of developed nations.He credits the Marshall Plan afterWorld War II that jump-started thewar-torn economies of Germany andJapan as being the stepping stone ofan entitlement society. With an agingpopulation worldwide, demands arelikely to get greater.Super cycle

“America is just coming off a nine-

year ‘super cycle’.” He speaks ofthe Upper Midwest andCanada as “islands of prosper-ity” and still benefiting fromthe tailwinds of Asia/Chinaexports, ethanol, the low valueof the dollar, mostly favorableweather, “bullish” land valuesand low interest rates.

Since 1910, Kohl said Amer-ica has had four super cycles in agri-culture with each of three- to four-yearduration. This current cycle now intoits 10th year is brewing a potentialissue. “We’re getting complacentbecause we’re getting long into thecycle and the outlook is still encourag-ing.”

Ethanol will continue an importantenergy source, especially with Brazilnow a major buyer ofU.S. ethanol. WhyBrazil, which used tobe the world’s No. 1ethanol producer fromsugar cane? Becausesugar rapidly hasbecome in big demandin both China andIndia so Brazil nolonger uses sugar caneto make ethanol.Instead cane sugarexports to these twoeconomies havebecome huge forBrazil.

After this fall’s elec-tion Kohl said there couldbe some hard changes especially if theBush tax program is dropped. Agricul-ture and property taxes on U.S. farm-land could rapidly get in the bull’s eyeof a Congress desperately trying tolessen its huge debt load.

Yes, these are the best of times forU.S. agriculture, but they can’t lastKohl reminded. With interest ratescontinuing in the 3.25 percent range,he admitted the natural inclination toborrow more and buy more, especiallybe that land. But if interest shouldspike to 6 1/2 to 7 percent it would sud-denly add $450 billion to the federaldebt. And U.S. exports would go into aswan’s dive.

Is agriculture into a credit bubble?Kohl suggested that the financialworld thinks so. Yet in 2011, the actualdebt-to-income ratio for U.S. farmerswas 2.26 to 1. Anything less than 5 to 1is considered good, to very good. Hereminded that in the farm crisis of the1980s that ratio was about $14 debt to$1 net income.

Young taking a punchHe cautioned younger farm-

ers that “you’re going to take apunch in the next five years. ...What is your parachute whenthings converge negatively?”

He repeated that the U.S.economy is struggling at onlyabout 1.5 percent growth whenwe’d like to be at 4 percent.

But Europe is only at 0.3 percentgrowth, and Japan is still a negativefigure. However the five BRICSnations combined are at 8.1 percentcurrently.

“When they’re above 8 percent, U.S.agriculture does well. Even the U.S.manufacturing industry is growingquite well. Why? Because the cost oflabor in China, Japan, Korea and a few

other Asian countrieshas gone up so muchthat it is now cheaperfor U.S. manufacturersto build in America,”Kohl said.

Kohl too stilladdresses oil as “blackgold” saying that six ofeight recessions thepast 50 years were dueto oil. “With a strongerdollar, oil prices getlower. But the cheaperdollar today is defi-nitely part of the causeof escalating oil prices,despite the concernsabout Iran and other

trouble spots.“Meanwhile $5 gas is creating a

tremendously expanding market fornatural gas. In Pennsylvania they’retalking 2,000 new wells drilled thisyear producing a 75-year supply. In theUtica Shell into Ohio, natural gasreserves could last 500 years. You’ll seethe U.S. trucking industry rapidly con-verting to natural gas once the infra-structure gets in place,” Kohl said.

He said the continuous spiking ofU.S. farmland is dangerous. Today $9of every $10 of agricultural assets istied up in land. Since the end of WorldWar II, there have been 63 years offarmland values increasing, only eightyears of decline.Family strength tested

Relating to booming farm land pricesKohl chuckled, “Eighty percent of eco-nomics is behavioral, the follow-the-herd pattern. Old-timers tell me that ifit grows too fast, it’s a weed. That sort

Eighty percent ofeconomics isbehavioral, thefollow-the-herdpattern. Old-timers tell me thatif it grows toofast, it’s a weed.That sort of fitsthe explosion infarmland today.

— David Kohl

GLOBAL, from pg. 8of fits the explosion in farmland today.I think we’ll see many hot familyissues the next 10 years in the UpperMidwest mostly triggered by the pros-perity of agriculture. Unless transitionplans are in place there will be angryfeelings about who gets what, whotakes care of the old parents, what’s afair rental rate when some familymember rents the home farm, etc.”

His advice to older farmers is simplyphase down slowly but keep the motorrunning. He cited Joe Paterno, thelong-time Penn State football coachwho recently died just a couple monthsafter being dismissed as head coach.By all means have a transition plan inplace, more important now than everbefore simply because of the tremen-dous capitalization of farmers today.

“Today 21 percent of farm businessesdon’t have a “next gen” member totransition into. But that also says a lotof farmland will continue into the mar-ketplace year after year.”

Kohl puts tremendous emphasis onhaving a written business planreviewed annually or more often ifneeded, and definitely present yourwritten business plan to your lender.

“Lenders are under tremendous com-pliance these days. They’re becomingmore restrictive on farm real estateloans simply because the risk is somuch higher, especially after the deba-cle in the housing industry.”

Your business plan should detailyour vision, both long-term (three tofive years) and short-term (one year orless). Include your operational plan, inessence what to do to make it work.List your marketing strategies, andyour risk management plan (cropinsurance, etc.). If Plan A doesn’t work,what is your Plan B. Conclude with atransition plan that involves everymember of your family.

Agriculture is hugely challengingbut handsomely rewarding if the right

choices are made at the right times.“Understand that you are farming in aworld of technology convergence. Butvery definitely one size does not fit all.Transition is a continuous happening.About 60 percent of all farmland turnsover the next 20 years. Enjoy the factthat you are making a difference byfeeding the world. And never forgetthat the best crop you raise is yourchildren,” Kohl said.Water, technology are key

Can world agriculture double pro-duction to feed 9-plus billion people by2050? He thinks a much more aggres-sive use of technology, especially inmany parts of the world where tech-nology has yet to make an imprint, willincrease world food production.

“Yes, the United States will still bethe major player but the SouthernHemisphere of the world will also be amajor player. We have the landresources but water may be the criticalvariable. Through ongoing seed tech-nology, we’ll have crops producingmore with less water. But I thinkwater shortages and water qualityissues are inevitable,” Kohl said.

He considers Canada as a major ally toUnited States if water shortages becomecritical issues. He said Canada is only 1

percent of the globe yet holds 7 percentof the world’s water. He also sees Africa,especially South Africa, as becoming amuch larger food resource but he cau-tions that it takes 30 to 40 years to ironout the political and cultural issues andbuild the infrastructure to get a sus-tainable agriculture in place.

Now retired, for 25 years Kohl wasprofessor of agricultural finance andsmall business management and entre-preneurship in the Department of Agri-cultural and Applied Economics at Vir-ginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va. He hastraveled over 8 million miles and con-ducted more than 6,000 workshops andseminars for agricultural groups. Hehas received 11 major teaching awardsfrom Virginia Tech, Cornell Universityand other state and national organiza-tions. He received the governor’s awardfor distinguished service to Virginiaagriculture. He is also business coachand part owner of Homestead Cream-ery, a value-added dairy business in theBlue Ridge Mountains.

Kohl spoke to 420 agricultural stu-dents of Ridgewater Community Col-lege, Willmar, Minn., plus several areafarmers and agricultural finance peo-ple at the Kandi Entertainment Cen-ter in Willmar on March 1. ❖

When corn, soybean, wheat andsorghum farmers met at the 2012 Com-modity Classic in Nashville, it was atime to recognize the accomplishmentsof the previous year, learn about thelatest products and trends in agricul-ture, and then look to the future. Whilethere, three Min-nesotans receivedspecial recogni-tion for theiraccomplishmentsfrom the Ameri-can Soybean Asso-ciation.Robert Nelsen

Nelsen, a West-brook-areafarmer, receivedan award for signing up the most mem-bers in an ASA Division I state. The119 members he signed in 2011 beathis personal record of 106 members in2010, and also earned him the distinc-tion of signing more members thananyone in the nation. Nelsen hasachieved this award four years in arow, and each year he has surpassedhis previous record.

“I began farming in August 1961after I returned home from the U.S.Army. Dad had the 240 acres planted,and I got the crop when we harvested,”said Nelsen, a fourth-generation Min-nesota farmer.

For a number of years he farmedwith his brother Marlowe, severalbrothers-in-law and his dad, but laterhe struck out on his own. Today,Nelsen’s daughter Elizabeth, her hus-band, Casey Johnson, and their sonTheo farm the land in eastern MurrayCounty.

Nelsen is an at-large member of theMinnesota Soybean Board. He alsoserves on the South Dakota SoybeanProcessors board in Volga, S.D. In addi-tion to corn and soybean organizationresponsibilities, Nelsen is active in hischurch and community groups.

“I believe in organizations. Numbersare a big thing. If you believe, belong,”he said, citing the slogan of the ASA.Dana and Katy Blume

Farm organizations need the wisdomand experience of older members likeNelsen, but to succeed and move for-ward, they also require the energy andperspective of the younger generation,

such as the Blumes. Young farmersfrom Elbow Lake, they were recognizedat the ASA banquet for completing theASA/DuPont Young Leaders trainingwith 26 other couples.

“I became interested in the youngleader program after reading the appli-cation in a farm magazine,” Dana said.“We are already very active in our com-

munity with theschool board, agcenter board andchurch board, aswell as secretaryfor our volunteerfire department. Ithought theremight be someskills I could learnthat would help uswith what we

were doing. Plus I was excited to meetand talk to other growers from aroundthe country, which was the best partabout the experience.”

The Blumes and the other couples inthe program met for four days in Iowaduring December. There they learnedthe importance of sharing their posi-tive agriculture story through socialnetworking and verbal communica-tions. They met again for four daysduring the Commodity Classic, wherethey learned trends in agriculture andcontinued their communication train-ing.

Blume learned how important theASA and National Corn Growers Asso-ciation are in the legislative processwhen shaping farm policy. “Many peo-ple probably don’t understand theimportance of this side of things andhow much time is involved in getting itdone right. That was probably thebiggest eye opener to me,” he said.

“One thing I want to try is to getmore locals involved in the policy sideof things, and try to get my generationto realize the importance of gettingmore involved,” Blume said.

Dana is also a fourth-generationfarmer who farms with his parents ontheir 2,800-acre farm. They growmainly corn and sugar beets, but alsosoybeans. Katy, who grew up on a dairyfarm near Little Falls, Minn., workspart time as an office manager for alocal seed company/farm. The couplehas four young children, so there areprospects for a fifth-generation farmerin the family. ❖

The next farm bill should be“dependable and understandable,affordable and defensible to taxpay-ers, and direct payments shouldstay in Title 1 of the legislation.”

Those are the thoughts of ErikYounggren of Hallock, Minn.,elected as the 50th president of theNational Association of Wheat Growers at thisyear’s Commodity Classic in Nashville, Tenn.

A graduate in finance from Minnesota State Uni-versity, Moorhead, the 41-year-old Younggren nowfarms in a partnership with two cousins, producingwheat, sugar beets and soybeans. For a relativelyyoung producer he already is knee-deep in experi-ence in the wheat industry.Wheat industry veteran

Prior to becoming a NAWG officer in 2009, Young-gren represented the Minnesota Wheat Growers onthe national association’s board, serving as a mem-ber of NAWG’s domestic and trade policy, opera-tions and budget committees. He also participatedin special committees examining crop insurancepolicy. He’s also had a special interest in the upcom-ing renovation of the Wheat Growers Buildingwhich is owned by the NAWG Foundation.

Younggren is an alumnus of the wheat industry’straining programs, the Wheat Industry Leaders ofTomorrow, the Wheat Organization Leaders of theFuture program and the Syngenta Leadership atIts Best program.

He’s gotten to know Washington, D.C., well, so

much so that he’s lost track of his several visits tothe nation’s capital. His answer to the No. 1 chal-lenge going forward? “This year we need to get a newfarm bill. Extending the current farm bill isn’t theanswer because there are so many programs expir-ing this year that need to be renewed. Obviouslythere is a huge money problem which isn’t going toget any better.

“Agriculture issues vary somewhat simply becauseof location. The guys down south are going through ahuge drought. They’ve got (Actual Production His-tory) problems so their insurance coverage is goingdown but premiums are staying the same. For wheatit seems what goes around comes around. My (March12) testimony ... centered on the scab years in Min-nesota and how both our APH and insurance cover-age went down. The only way out of that situation isto have some really good years of production andgood prices.”

Younggren also sees research as a big topic.“Yes, we are getting more money into wheat

research but are still very dependent on the publicsector. Scab is still a problem; we’ve got rust issues.Those are big problems which need long-term moneyfor researching yet budgets appear to be getting cut.”Wheat, corn gaining acres

There were about 6 million acres of prevent plant-ing in North Dakota last year. What crop mostly cap-tures those acres in 2012? Younggren said wheat willgain some of those acres; also prevent planted acresin Texas got some wheat. He speculates some expir-ing Conservation Reserve Program contracts will getwheat, at least initially. However in the easternstates, which normally do quite a little winter wheat,too much moisture last fall curtailed wheat acreswhich likely will be corn this year.

Because of the strong pricing on corn, corn likelywill pick up many western crop acres that normallywould have gone to wheat.

U.S. Department of Agriculture projections indi-cated 56.6 million acres wheat and 95 million acres

corn with soybeans at 74.6 million acres. Prelimi-nary Canadian data has 23.9 million acres wheat, up23 percent from 2011 when extremely wet weathercurtailed wheat seeding.Farm bill urgency

Speculating on initial USDA budget figures, hethinks the $33 billion figure will be the startingpoint for Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and the Senate agcommittee. But a more realistic figure of $23 billionis more likely, Younggren said, reinforcing theurgency of getting a new farm bill done this year.

He acknowledges that the Title 1 Direct Paymentprogram will take some cuts but emphasizes thatagriculture needs a strong safety net, with the Fed-eral Crop Insurance program being a better choicefor most.

This year Younggren and his cousins will havearound 3,000 acres of wheat and about 1,300 acres ofsoybeans. Wheat grows well in his area but diseasecontinues to be a challenge, and quality issues are aconstant.

Younggren has served as a member of his church’sBoard of Deacons, on the board of his county eco-nomic development committee and is also on a localcurling club. In his spare time, he also assisted in thestartup of a high-speed internet service for theirimmediate area. “Like many things in my life I juststarted asking questions, and my question was sim-ply ‘why not internet broadband service?’ Our phoneservice was inadequate to handle this additionaltask. However we have some smart partners andthese guys figured out how to go wireless by posi-tioning antennas on the several elevators in ourarea.”

He and his wife, Angela, who runs a pet groomingand kennel business, have a 15-month-old daughter,Annika.

“Serving the nation’s wheat growers is an honorand privilege. Active participation on the nationallevel is more important than ever before,” Younggrensaid. ❖

Agricultural research scientistssometimes live in a jungle, seldomknowing exactly what will hatch asthey tinker with seed stocks of variousfeed grains. Here’s excerpts from a fewinterviewed this past year.

Gordon Selling with the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture’s AgriculturalResearch Service in Peoria, Ill., speaksmatter of fact, “A kernel of corn needsto be looked at in the same fashion as abarrel of crude oil. To maximize profits,oil companies use every bit of oil theyextract. Similarly, every bit of materialpresent in a kernel of corn needs to beutilized to maximize revenue for thevarious businesses in the corn productstream.”

A kernel of corn has four main prod-ucts: corn starch (used in bio-ethanolproduction), corn oil, corn protein andcorn fiber. These in turn can be sub-divided into smaller parts, each withunique market values. Selling and hisARS team deal mainly with corn pro-tein which subdivides into two broadtypes — the corn germ proteins andthe endosperm proteins. The corngerm proteins have value as a compo-nent in adhesives, such as plywoodglue. With additional research, futureformulations could mean strongerglues and use less non-renewablematerials.

The main endosperm protein is zein,historically used in the production oftextile fibers and coatings. Howeverthe zein was cross-linked withformaldehyde, a suspected carcinogen.New research has identified reagentsthat appear to be safer than formalde-hyde and provide products with supe-rior properties. Thanks to new extru-sion techniques, the number ofcompanies that could utilize zein toproduce products that can replacepetroleum-based materials increasesdramatically.

Research breakthroughs alwaysmake news in the seed industry eventhough the business plan hinges oncontinually improving germplasm. Forexample Steve Petersen, end-use prod-uct manager for Monsanto, said Mon-santo breeds corn for three purposes:yield, yield and yield. “But we screenmany things from these very intensiveresearch and development efforts suchas our food-grade corns, our waxycorns and our specialty products,” hesaid.

That screening process has alreadyproduced corns with better adaptabil-

ity for usage in corn chips. “We do a lotof work with Frito Lay, Cargill andother people that do food processing.As consumer needs evolve we’re tryingto do things to make certain our prod-ucts meet these new criteria,” Petersensaid.

Forthcoming is a calcium oxide prod-uct produced by Monsanto which whenadded to corn stover and/or distiller’scoproduct creates a chemical reactionwhich substantially improves thenutritional value of this residue feed-stock. “It changes the carbohydratestructure within the stover to producesignificantly higher digestibility,”Petersen said, indicating this is a jointproject with Archer Daniels Midlandand John Deere.

As corn yields increase, residue prob-lems also increase. “So if farmers couldharvest a sustainable portion of thisstover to replace a portion of the cornin the cattle diet, we think this poten-tially does several good things for thelife cycle of corn, plus further enrich-ing the ‘wet mash’ and/or DDGs of theethanol industry,” Petersen said.

In simple terms, this is Monsanto’sefforts to turn corn stover from abyproduct into a coproduct and in theprocess lessen the “residue issue” thattrait-protected 200-plus bushel corn isleaving in Corn Belt fields.

As the seed industry moves into sec-ond and third generation traits,Petersen said newer traits would havemuch broader impact. For exampleDrought Tolerant 2 will touch morebases than Drought Tolerant 1. He alsosuggested future corn traits will likelybe more specific for soils and climates.

Todd Frank, BASF corn breeder atOlivia, Minn., said improvedgermplasm always continues as themajor objective in the seed industry.“However more nutrient-rich hybridsalso are in our breeding pipeline. We’redoing this by improving the amino acidprofiles. And we’re concerned aboutenvironmental issues which is whywe’re also concentrating on low-phy-tate hybrids,” Frank said.

Low-phytate corn means lower phos-phorous content which in turn meansless phosphorous in hog manure. “Theobjective here is simply to lessen phos-phorous runoff from manured fieldsinto tile lines and drainage ditches. Welabel this as our ‘cleanermanure/cleaner water’ campaign,”Frank said.

He also mentioned a major ricebreeding effort of BASF Plant Sciencecentered on improving the Vitamin A

content of rice.Not yet ready for public sharing are

Nature Works LLC, a Minnetonka,Minn.,-based firm specializing in theproduction of Ingeo polymer, a plasticmade from plants (corn dextrose cur-rently the primary feedstock), justannounced the future construction inAsia of its second manufacturing facil-ity. It currently manufactures in Blair,Neb.

Marketing Director Steve Daviessaid making Ingeo is an entirely newand innovative process. “Our technol-ogy is found nowhere else in the worldand provides an eco-friendly option.

We’re in the business of turninggreenhouse gases, namely CO2, in toperformance plastics.”

He describes the process as fer-menting the plant’s sugars to makelactic acid. Next they polymerize theacid into a performance plastic calledIngeo. And this new crop usage posesno threat to future food issues. At fullcapacity, their Nebraska plant usesless than 1/20th of 1 percent of theavailable global corn crop.

Multiple feed stocks and multipleplant locations are the business planof this ambitious new venture makingplastics from plants rather thanpetroleum products. Products madefrom Ingeo polymer include apparel,bottles, cards, film, cartons, food pack-aging materials and the list keepsexpanding as petroleum prices keepdriving up the cost of traditional plas-tics. ❖

The only thing that stands between the UnitedStates and an invasion of cattle-killing screwwormsis a daily flight of airplanes flooding a 100-mile-wide section of the Isthmus of Panama with malescrewworm flies raised in a laboratory and steril-ized with radiation in Panama.

The screwworm infestations of the past wouldprobably come back if the releases stopped for acouple of months or so, said Dan Strickman, Agri-cultural Research Service national program leaderfor veterinary and medical entomology.

“This is a great example of agricultural researchchanging the history of this country, and it’s a cut-ting-edge example of integrated pest management,”Strickman said.

This year marks the U.S. Department of Agricul-ture’s 150th anniversary, making it a particularlyappropriate time to look at this and other examplesof history in the making.

The screwworm was wiped out of the UnitedStates by 1966 and Mexico by 1991. The purgingcontinued south to include Central America untilthe “barrier” reached across the entire narrow Isth-mus of Panama, and the screwworm was declarederadicated from Central and North America.

Before the USDA eradicated the species from theUnited States, the screwworm — larvae of which eatliving tissue of people and other animals — had plaguedthe Southwest, all of Florida, and parts of Georgia.

In 1937, the late Edward F. Knipling, then at aUSDA laboratory in Menard, Texas, got the idea offlooding areas with sexually sterilized male screw-worm flies. He believed that by releasing largenumbers of sterile male flies, they would mate withnonsterile female screwworm flies and that the

resulting “unsuccessful” mating would decrease thepopulation over time, driving the flies to extinction.

When Knipling came up with the idea, there wasno known way of sterilizing the male flies. Then oneday he read an article by the Nobel Prize-winninggeneticist Hermann Joseph Muller in ScientificAmerican showing that X-rays sterilized male fruitflies without interfering with their normal functions.

Knipling wrote to Muller to see whether X-rays couldbe used to sterilize screwworm flies. Muller wrote back

immediately, indicating his interest in the idea.That exchange — and subsequent experiments

demonstrating that the idea worked, includingresearch by colleague Raymond Bushland showingthat sterile male screwworms could be raised in alaboratory and function normally after release,including mating with nonsterile females — led tothe historic screwworm eradication program.

The sterile insect technique has been used to eradi-cate screwworms elsewhere, including north Africa— where they were accidentally introduced — in the1990s and most recently from Aruba. The techniquehas proved useful in controlling other pests as well,such as the Mediterranean fruit fly and the tsetse fly.

USDA screwworm research began under the aus-pices of the department’s Bureau of Entomology andPlant Quarantine, which was transferred to the Agri-cultural Research Administration (which became theAgricultural Research Service by the end of 1953).The laboratory at Menard was incorporated into theU.S. Livestock Insect Laboratory in 1946, which, in1988, was renamed the Knipling-Bushland U.S. Live-stock Insects Research Laboratory in honor of the twopioneering scientists. The facility, located in Kerrville,Texas, works on cattle fever ticks, horn flies, stableflies and other livestock pests. Live screwworms arenot allowed in the United States, however, so the labcan only work with DNA from the screwworm. Thelive-screwworm work is performed at the ScrewwormResearch Unit in Pacora, Panama, the site of a hugefactory that produces sterile males for release. TheKerrville lab continues to research effective, lessexpensive methods to control insect pests of livestock.Keeping soil where it belongs

Another example of USDA research changing his-tory occurred in 1938, when the USDA Soil Conserva-tion Service — now the Natural Resources Conserva-tion Service — and the Texas Agricultural ExperimentStation created a laboratory in Bushland, Texas, in thewake of a dramatic wind erosion event. Poor agricul-tural practices for years, coupled with severe drought,left the soil of extensive U.S. farmland exposed. Theresult was a multiyear period of severe dust storms inthe 1930s. Known as the “Dust Bowl,” it was character-ized by thick, black clouds of dirt and dust stretchingacross several states and millions of acres.

The Bushland lab’s charge was to prevent theintolerable conditions of another potential DustBowl and to minimize wind erosion, working withother state experiment stations — such as those inKansas and Ohio — and other USDA labs.

They developed stubble mulch tillage, leaving theresidue of harvested crops on the land over winter tokeep soil from blowing away and to save precious soilmoisture. This was the forerunner of the highly suc-cessful practice of no-till and other forms of conserva-tion tillage that drastically reduced erosion, whetherby wind, rain or snowmelt. ARS research was spurredfurther by the drought of the 1950s. At the time,there were limitations to stubble mulch, mainlylower yields, so ARS set out to overcome those limita-tions and, in time, succeeded in making conservationtillage an NRCS-recommended “best practice.”

Theycontinue research on waterconservation, taking advan-tage of the latest technology.Today, that means gettinginformation on soil moisturefrom satellites.

It is unlikely that the GreatPlains will suffer anotherDust Bowl as severe as the one in the 1930s. Isolated yetsignificant storms are inevitable, but the conservationtillage and crop residue management techniques devel-oped from ARS research will certainly reduce the sever-ity of dust storms in agricultural regions.The war effort and beyond

ARS researchers started shaping history immedi-ately, and their efforts supported the United Statesand allies in World War II. In 1940, ARS chemists inPeoria, Ill. — at the request of Great Britain — founda way to produce penicillin, discovered in 1928, as apowder suitable for medicine. Then they found a wayto produce the drug in quantity, using their expertisein growing molds in large fermentation vats. By theend of 1942, 17 U.S. firms were making penicillin pills.

Peoria researchers found a superior, more produc-tive Penicillium strain on a moldy cantaloupe from alocal market. They gave that mold to the drug com-panies, and the companies produced enough peni-cillin to treat allied soldiers wounded on D-Day.

The Peoria lab’s expertise and techniques havebeen used in developing many other products —including the food thickener xanthan gum, biobasedfuels and other biobased products — and in moderngenetic research.

As part of the U.S. Emergency Rubber Project dur-ing World War II — aimed at finding domestic rub-ber sources — research at Wyndmoor, Penn., andother USDA labs helped improve the production ofsynthetic rubber. Their research was essential to theAllied victory, and remains useful to this day for pro-ducing domestic rubber.

ARS researchers developed DEET to repel mosqui-toes and other pests during wartime while lookingfor alternatives to citronella — which was in shortsupply at the time. ARS also came up with tech-niques for making military clothing resistant to bit-ing insects, mildew, rot and oil-based liquid chemicalweapons. Other wartime discoveries included betterbandages, dextran (a blood plasma substitute madefrom sugar beet pulp and sugarcane), and MRE(Meals Ready to Eat) food items for the military.

Many of ARS’s discoveries and techniques devel-oped during wartime have led to peacetime uses thathave extended to today.Abundant, safe food

ARS research has always had an internationalaspect. Perhaps the best example is the work leadingup to the Green Revolution — a period of increased

worldwide agricultural production. In 1946, an ARSagronomist collected seeds of short-statured wheatsin Japan. These seeds were later distributed to vari-ous U.S. wheat breeders, including a team led byARS breeder Orville Vogel, in Pullman, Wash. Thegroup developed high-yielding, semi-dwarf wheatvarieties that were further improved by the late Nor-man Borlaug, of the International Maize and WheatImprovement Center, to avert famines worldwide.

Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle,” an exposé of meat-pro-cessing practices of the past, resulted in the MeatInspection Act of 1906 and the beginnings of a formalfood safety agency at the USDA. Although USDA-ARSresearch has always had a food safety aspect, a formalnational research program was created in 1997 withthe Food Safety Initiative under President Bill Clinton.

Today, ARS’s food safety research includes roboticinspections of poultry and goes beyond meat toinclude all foods. A good example is an effort over the

past decade by ARS researchers at Clay Center,Neb., and their colleagues. These scientists havebeen sequencing genes to find those that can beused as markers for serotypes of escherichia colithat produce shiga toxin. Through this work, theyhave worked with industry partners to developassays for shiga toxin-producing E. coli, includingE. coli O157:H7, which causes foodborne illness.

This food safety program traces back to earlierresearch:A USDA chemist in 1882 was one of the first toanalyze the bacterium that causes tuberculosis. USDAscientists over the years also showed the value of pas-teurizing milk and determined the cooking temperatureneeded to kill the pathogen that causes trichinosis.

On April 26, the U.S. Senate agricul-ture committee passed the AgricultureReform, Food, and Jobs Act of 2012 (2012farm bill) on a bipartisan vote of 12-5,with four Southern Senators opposingthe legislation (see later discussion).

The proposed farm bill is somewhatsimilar to the new farm bill proposalgenerated in the fall of 2011, as part ofthe federal budget reduction efforts bythe Congressional Super Committee,which ultimately fell apart. The newfarm bill passed by the Senate ag com-mittee would make major changes tothe “safety net” features of futurefarm programs. The controversialdirect payments would be eliminatedfor all program crops, as would the Average CropRevenue Election and Supplemental Revenue Assis-tance programs, as well as potential counter-cyclicalpayments.

The proposed farm bill would keep Federal CropInsurance as the “centerpiece” of a reformed riskmanagement program for crop producers, withrevised federal subsidies for crop insurance, as wellas some other new insurance options for producers.Farmers would also have the option to participate ina new Agriculture Risk Coverage program (dis-cussed later), which will replace the current pro-grams that are being eliminated.

The new farm bill will also consolidate the current23 conservation related programs into 13 programs,

and will cut the maximum level of acreagein the Conservation Reserve Program infuture years. The proposed legislationwould also make reforms in dairy policy,

would fund more research for organiccrops, and would make some adjust-ments in food and nutrition programs.

The Congressional Budget Office estimated thatthe new farm bill proposed by the U.S. Senate agcommittee would result in savings of $24.7 billionover 10 years, which exceeded the budget reductiontarget of $23 billion over 10 years. About 70 percentof the savings will come from the revised commoditytitle of the legislation, which includes elimination ofguaranteed direct payments, a savings of approxi-mately $4.9 billion per year. The new farm bill wouldalso reduce total conservation spending by about $6billion over 10 years, primarily through reductions inCRP acreage. The food and nutrition programs,which account for 75 percent of total U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture funding, would see only minoradjustments in funding under the new farm bill.

Payment limits for producers under the proposedfarm bill would be tightened considerably, comparedto current payment limits. Under the proposed legis-lation, farmers would have a $50,000 payment limitper individual for the new ARC program, and a$100,000 limit for a married couple. The currentfarm bill has a payment limit of $40,000 per individ-ual for direct payments, and a $65,000 per individualpayment limit for potential ACRE and counter-cycli-cal payments. This resulted in a maximum paymentlimit of $105,000 per individual, or $210,000 permarried couple. In addition, producers could earnanother $100,000 maximum from the permanent dis-aster (SURE) program.

The proposed farm billalso reduces the adjustedgross income maximumlevel to $750,000 per yearfor active farmers to beeligible for farm programpayments, from the cur-rent AGI maximum levelof $1 million, and contin-ues the maximum level of

$500,000 per year from off-farm income. There wereno limits proposed for crop insurance payments orsubsidy levels, as was sought by some members ofCongress. The commodity title of the proposed newfarm bill will have three major components.

• Federal Crop Insurance Program, with a new“Supplemental Coverage Option.”

• A new ARC shallow-loss program to complimentcrop insurance coverage.

• A marketing loan program similar to the currentCommodity Credit Corp. loan program, with com-modity loan rates set at 2012 levels, except for cottonloan rates.Supplemental Coverage Option for crop insurance coverage

• SCO allows individual crop insurance coverage tobe supplemented with county insurance coverage tocover all or part of the insurance deductible.

• The type of coverage under SCO would match theindividual crop insurance protection selected (yield-only or revenue protection).

• SCO payments would be determined based oncounty crop insurance loss procedures.

• The SCO coverage for individual farms would betriggered by a 10-percent loss level and would coverlosses up to the farm’s insurance deductible, whichwould be adjusted a 21-percent loss trigger for farmsthat are enrolled in the proposed ARC program.

• Total insurance payments on an individual farmcould not exceed the total crop losses on that farm(no “double-dipping”).

• SCO insurance premiums would be set accordingly.

The controversial direct payments would beeliminated for all program crops, as would theAverage Crop Revenue Election and Supplemen-tal Revenue Assistance programs, as well aspotential counter-cyclical payments.

May Wes announced the release of its latest combineStalk Stomper design that is universally compatibleacross all model years of the John Deere 600 Serieshead, including the newest version. Additionally, theMay Wes engineers made design improvements toincrease the clearance. This universal design for theJohn Deere 600 heads is available in the popular quickdisconnect and the standard combine Stalk Stompers.

The May Wes Stalk Stomper shoes come standard witha 1/4-inch thick Ultra High Molecular Weight Poly linerover thick metal. The poly finish provides an advantagecompared to a metal finish for its non-stick surface andresistance to abrasion. The Stalk Stomper design hasoptimized the strength-to-weight ratio so that it is nottoo heavy, rather, it is right-sized for doing the job.

PROGRAMS, from pg. 16• Would make enterprise units permanent. (Devel-

oped as a “pilot” in the 2008 farm bill.)• Would add a 10-percent additional crop insur-

ance premium subsidy for beginning farmers.Proposed ARC Program details

• Producers would make a one-time irrevocabledecision to elect either a “County ARC” or an “Indi-vidual Farm ARC”.

• Crops eligible for ARC include corn, soybeans,wheat, sorghum, barley, oats, rice, peanuts, pulsecrops and other oilseeds. Cotton is not included andwould have its own program.

• ARC program payments would be crop specific.• The ARC program selection, either county or

farm, would be applied to all acres under operationalcontrol of the producer on a county basis, includingacres added in subsequent years, and would not bebased on individual “farm units” similar to past farmprograms.

• For a covered crop, the ARC acres would includeall planted and prevented planted acres; however, afarm’s total ARC acres cannot exceed its averageacres planted to all crops.

• A benchmark revenue level (yield x price) foreach crop would be determined at either the countyor farm level.

• The benchmark revenue levels (yield x price)would be set using a five-year “Olympic average”(removes the high and low) for the county or farm.

•• County: County average yield for the pastfive years.

•• Farm: Average reported yield for the pastfive years for farms operated by a producer in agiven county.

•• Price: The “national average price” for vari-ous crops for the past five 12-month marketingyears. (Sept. 1 to Aug. 31 for corn and soybeans.)

• Actual revenue levels for a crop year would becalculated as follows.

•• County: Final National Agricultural Statis-tics Service county yield per acre times the U.S. aver-age price for the first five months of the crop market-ing year (Sept. 1 to Jan. 31 for corn and soybeans).

•• Farm: Verified final farm yield per acre forall acres of a given crop in a given county on thefarm times the U.S. average price for the first fivemonths of the crop marketing year.

• ARC payments would be made for an individualcrop in the following situations.

•• County: If the actual county revenue is lessthan 89 percent of the benchmark county revenue.

•• Farm: If the actual farm revenue in a givencounty is less than 89 percent of the farm bench-mark revenue in that county.

• ARC payments per acre would be the smaller of...

•• 89 percent of the benchmark revenue(county or farm) minus the actual revenue; or

•• 10 percent times the benchmark revenue

(maximum payment level).• Final ARC payment levels

•• County: County payment per acre times 80percent of eligible planted acres.

•• Farm: Farm payment per acre in a countytimes 65 percent of eligible planted acres.

•• Prevented planted acres: Payment per acretimes 45 percent of eligible acres for both county andfarm ARC programs.

• ARC example for cornBase revenue: 180 bushels per acre x $4.50/bushel

= $810/acreActual revenue: 170 bu./acre x $4/bu. = $680/acre

(84 percent of base revenue)ARC payment: $810 x 0.89 = $720.90 - $680 =

$40.90/acre•• County: $40.90/acre x 0.80 = $32.72/acre

final payment•• Farm: $40.90/acre x 0.65 = $26.59/acre

final paymentBottom line

Many commodity groups have supported the elimi-nation of direct payments, as well as the ACRE andSURE programs, and replacing those programs withsome type of “shallow loss” safety net program thatwould supplement the Federal Crop Insurance pro-gram. Most farm organizations and commoditygroups support maintaining a strong Federal CropInsurance program, with some level of premium sub-sidization by the federal government. The proposedARC program, along with the potential SCO, appearto meet many of those farm bill objectives.

However, a considerable amount of concern has beenraised by Southern farm leaders and members of Con-gress that the proposed programs in the new farm billdo not treat crops like peanuts and rice fairly. Thosetwo crops were major benefactors of the current directpayments, and the target price program.

The proposal passed by the U.S. Senate agriculturecommittee is the first step in writing a new farm bill.That proposal now goes to the full Senate floor fordebate, possible adjustments and potentially forapproval. The U.S. House will then pass their versionof a new farm bill, which may or may not be similarto the Senate version. Then a conference committee

will work out differences in the twoversions of the new farm bill, beforeit is passed and ultimately goes to

the president for final approval.The current farm bill expires at the end of the cur-

rent federal fiscal year on Sept. 30, and the 2012crop year is the final year covered by the currentfarm bill. There will likely be many changes andadjustments made before a new farm bill is final-ized, and that may not occur until Congress con-venes in 2013.

However, it appears likely that the newly proposedARC program, or something similar, is likely to replacedirect payments, ACRE and SURE for eligible programcrops for the 2013 crop year and beyond.

faint-of-heartWith news of a drought-stricken and winter-killed

wheat crop in Russia, a short wheat crop in Australiaand excessive heat on the U.S. Plains, the wheatprices have taken off to the upside.

As wheat is competing with old crop corn in thefeed rations, corn prices tagged along for the ride.With the expected record corncrop coming into the pipeline thisfall, wheat may not be the driverfor long. This window of opportu-nity may only last for the next sixweeks. It is hard to believe, thatthe first of July which is a tradi-tional summertime high, is justahead.

Many in the corn market arestarting to question the assump-tion of an average trendline yieldof 166 bushels per acre, giventhat many of the expansion acresare in marginal growing areas.Obviously, it is too early to make any conclusions, yetthe debate will rage on in the marketplace until wesee more certain yield expectations. These marketdynamics will make for a volatile basis environmentas well as flat price.

The unusually strong basis is reflective of the tight-ness in the local supply and demand. The fact thatthis crop was planted unusually early this year, sug-gests that harvest will likely begin much earlier thannormal. This early harvest could drive the basis totumble, sooner than usually occurs.

The impact of an early harvest weakening the cornbasis will make the marketing of the remainder ofthe old crop corn more volatile this year. Any old cropcorn held un-priced after the first of July will be

Settlement prices are based onthe close of pit trading at 1:15p.m. for the CME contracts, forthe time being. A new settlementprocedure will take effect June 25which will incorporate pit andelectronic volume weighted pricesfrom 1:14-1:15 p.m. CT. While thetrade is talking about moving thepit close to 2 p.m., there has notbeen any announcement from the CME on that issue.The U.S. Department of Agriculture is expected totake comments soon on the possibility of releasingreports to “mid-session” of the trading day.

livestock prices. After several months of weakness inboth cattle and hogs, a recovery has begun with bothpork and beef cutouts showing firmness on a sea-sonal basis.

The cattle market rallied on the support fromrenewed buying interest in thebeef products. The beef cutoutshave rallied after taking a longslide in price over the past fewmonths. The seasonal patternseems to have taken hold as thebarbecue season gets into fullswing as we approach the Memo-rial Day weekend.

The futures market which hasbeen the recipient of fund sellingover the past month or so, hasseen a reversal by the funds backto the long side in recent days.This action has taken the deepdiscount out of the futures and narrowed the basisover the past few weeks.

On May 18, the U.S. Department of Agriculturereleased the Monthly Cattle on Feed Report. Thefindings were: On feed May 1, 99 percent; placed dur-ing April, 85 percent; and marketed in April, 100 per-cent. All were in comparison to year-ago levels. Thereport was seen as friendly to bullish as placementswere smaller than anticipated. As a result, look forthe basis of futures to cash to continue to narrow inthe weeks ahead as the futures should find continuedbuying.

The question is whether consumer demand willresist the higher cutouts and thus the higher beefprices at the retail level. If the economy stays in the

NYSTROM, from pg. 18find another reason to retracelosses; if rain is absent, thescene would be set for a rebound to the May highs.

For the second week in a row, weekly corn exportsales were a disappointment at 6.1 million bushelsfor old crop and 12.8 million bushels for new crop.Old crop sales were the second-lowest of the market-ing year. Trade rumors about China canceling orrolling U.S. corn purchases circled the markets thisweek, but nothing has been announced or confirmed.This helped push buyers to the sidelines. Braziliancorn for the second half of summer is competitivewith the United States.

There is talk that China and Argentina are close toresolving the phyto-sanitary issues that has pre-vented China from importing Argentine corn. TheBuenos Aires Cereals Exchange lowered their cornestimate from 19.8 million metric tons to 19.3 mmtwith harvest half complete. The USDA’s last forecastwas 21.5 mmt. The International Grains Council thisweek increased their global production forecast by13 mmt to 913 mmt.

Weekly ethanol production was 270 million gallonsthis week, the largest grind since February. Ethanolstocks rose to 899 million gallons. The CN-CZ spreadcollapsed to under 60 this week as weather sup-

ported the December contract and nearbyexport basis softened. Domestic corn basis(ethanol plants) is steady, firm. Farmer selling

has been extremely slow for the last two weeks. Anyadditional summer business could send this spreadwider again.

OUTLOOK: Declining cash basis levels, crummyexport sales, and the possibility China could buyArgentina corn were behind this week’s spread col-lapse while weather uncertainty limited the fall ofnew crop prices. The first crop condition report of theyear as of May 20 pegged the crop at 77 percentgood/excellent, the third highest in the last 20 years.

In the two years of better initial conditions, we sawone record yield year (1994), while the other yearsaw a yield decline of more than 2 percent belowtrendline (2007), telling us anything can happen.December corn is a $5 to $5.50 trading affair for now.For the week, July corn plummeted 57 cents and theDecember contract fell 15 1/2 cents.

SOYBEANS — Old crop soybeans put in a mirrorperformance to last week’s action, this week plum-meting lower early in the week only to find profittaking buying and good export sales bringing pricesback from new lows for the move. New crop soybeansdove lower after soybean cancellations by Chinawere rumored, but denied by China. Profit taking

ahead of the Memorial Day weekend was apparentas the U.S. dollar strengthened and ongoing uncer-tainty in Europe’s financial circles lent support.

If rain doesn’t develop in the first part of June,soybeans’ tight carryout projection may exaggerateprice reaction to the upside. The Buenos Aires Cere-als Exchange cut their soybean projection from 41mmt to 39.9 mmt and compared to the USDA’s 42.5mmt estimate.

Weekly export sales were 29.4 million for old cropand 5.6 million of new crop bushels. Total old cropsales now surpass the total 2011-12 USDA projec-tion of 1.315 billion bushels. With 14 weeks left inthe marketing year we’ll be looking for the exportline to increase on the June 12 crop productionreport. China’s total soybean imports for May at7.23 mmt were over 2 mmt more than expectations.China was only able to sell a portion of the 600,000mt of reserve beans they offered this week. Theywill offer a like amount next week.

Outside influences also will continue to impactoverall commodity moves. The U.S. dollar surgedhigher this week as the Greek financial situationremained unsettled and with new elections to beheld there June 17. Will Greece remain in the Euro-pean Union?

OUTLOOK: Weather, weather, weather; ’Tis theseason. New crop bean direction will hinge onwhether the eastern Corn Belt conditions improvein the first half of June. Old crop beans will bedependent on on-going business, notably China. Forthe week, July soybeans were down 23 cents andNovember soybeans gained 1 1/2 cents. Basis levelshave been fairly flat on all fronts, regardless ofdecent export sales.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the weekending May 25: Minneapolis wheat down 11 3/4cents, Chicago off 15 1/4 and Kansas City a nickellower. July crude oil at $90.86 was down 94 cents forthe week, heating oil down 1/4 cent, gasoline up justover a penny and natural gas dropped 19 1/2 cents.As of mid-afternoon May 25, the U.S. dollar indexwas over a full point higher for the week, the Dowwas up 73 points and gold was $19.60 lower at$1,572.30 per ounce. ❖

TEALE, from pg. 18doldrums or even worsens, it will be hard for cattleto sustain a long-term rally. For now look for furtherstrength in the market as producers use the cattle-on-feed information to their advantage. Producersshould still remain skeptical of the long-term trendand protect inventories when the opportunity arises.

The hog market has finally turned the corner aftermonths of downward pressure. The main catalystbehind the recent rally has been the movement ofpork product.

It appears that retailers have decided that there isgood value in pork versus the other meats. The

movement of pork products picked up as the cutoutvalue dipped well below half the cutout value of beef.The recent cold storage report suggested that porkwas moving out of storage at a far better rate thananticipated supporting the idea of the better value inpork.

Despite the fact that hog prices have recoveredfairly nice, there is still plenty of resistance at higherprices. With the dollar currently on the upswing,export business could falter a bit, but the overall out-look continues to look fairly positive. Producersshould continue to monitor the market and protectinventories when those opportunities arise. ❖

Hogs turn corner on product movement

NEHER, from pg. 18priced off of the September futures contract. Cur-rently the September contract is trading $0.89 underthe July contract. New crop corn could start to enterthe pipeline in August due to early planting and thiswill pressure the basis bids. All of this could occur ina short period of time. This will test the marketingmanagement of the best merchandisers.

The big unknown yet to be determined will be theweather and how it affects the growing crops thissummer. This is always the case this time of yearand is no different than years past. The differencethis year is that ending stocks in corn are so tight,with little room for a yield reduction.

Soon, the markets will react to the six- to 10-dayforecasts that can change within the day. This is nota market for the “faint-of-heart.” As always, with

volatility there is the chance for failure and opportu-nity. Margin management will be the key to captur-ing the opportunities and avoiding failure.

To this day, I fondly remember how much myGrandpa loved cookies. Grandmother always madesome great homemade cookies, yet I remember find-ing a stash of “store-bought” cookies in the glove boxof his pick-up truck.

I asked him about them one time and he sheep-ishly grinned. After a short pause, he replied, “Onething that I have learned over the years is that whenthey pass the plate of cookies around, you had bettertake a few.”

Looking back to that day, I think he was giving mea Grain Angle that relates to markets like we havetoday. ❖

This column was written for themarketing week ending May 25.

April milk production in the top 23dairy states hit 15.98 billion pounds,up 3.3 percent from April 2011,according to preliminary data in theU.S. Department of Agriculture’s lat-est Milk Production report.

Revisions lowered the initial Marchestimate to 16.4 billion, still 4.3 abovea year ago. The April 50-state total was

17.19 billion pounds, up 3.2 percent.

April cow numbers in the top 23 dairystates, at 8.53 million head, were up 4,000from March and 94,000 head more than ayear ago. Output per cow averaged 1,875pounds, up 40 from a year ago.

California was up 3.1 percent from ayear ago on 23,000 more cows and a 35-pound per cow gain. Wisconsin was up3.5 percent on a 55-pound gain per cow,thanks to the weather and 4,000 more

cows. New York was up 3.6percent on a 65-pound gainper cow. Cow numbers wereunchanged from a year ago.Idaho was up 2.9 percent ona 50-pound gain per cow and1,000 more cows. Pennsylva-nia was the only state show-ing a decline, down 1 percenton 5,000 fewer cows. Outputper cow was unchanged. Min-nesota was up 1.3 percentthanks to a 35-pound gainper cow but cow numberswere down 4,000 head.

Checking a few otherplayers: Michigan was up 6.2 percent on14,000 more cows and a 5-pound gainper cow. New Mexico was up 3.6 percenton 11,000 more cows and a 5-pound gainper cow. Texas was up 3.3 percent on a14,000 cow increase. Output per cowwas unchanged, and Washington statewas up 4.1 percent on 7,000 more cowsand a 25-pound per cow increase.

Mary Ledman, editor of the newDaily Dairy Report, believes the datawill be read with some relief by thecash markets and will give them someunderlining strength because someexpected the gain to be closer to 4 per-cent. Add to that, the fact that the pre-vious month’s gain was over 4 percent.

More importantly, Ledman said, isthat “the tide has turned in the West.”Key states like California, Washingtonand Idaho, regionally, saw milk outputinch 0.6 percent lower than March, “sosupply-management programs there aretaking hold,” and the peak of the milkproduction season has been reached asit has in the Southwest, Arizona, Texasand New Mexico, down 0.1 percent.

Looking forward, Ledman said milk pro-duction in the Northeast and the Midwestlikely has another month of incrementalgain before heading lower seasonally. How-ever, on a bearish note, she warned thatthe U.S. dairy herd continues to expand.

The good news is that the gain inApril was only half that of the previousmonth and she says we could seeincreased slaughter in May and intoJune and predicts the U.S. dairy herdwill be trending lower by midyear. For aweekly recap of the dairy markets and asneak into the following week’s listen tothe new audio file of the Daily DairyReport at www.dailydairyreport.com.

■

The latest Livestock Slaughter reportissued Friday morning shows an esti-mated 239,800 culled dairy cows wereslaughtered under federal inspection inApril, down 38,200 from the 278,000

culled in March but 2,000more than April 2011.

Dairy Profit Weekly pointsout that, based on April’sMilk Production report, theApril culling rate repre-sented about 2.6 percent ofthe nation’s herd. Throughthe first four months of 2012,cull cow slaughter totaled1.043 million, up 24,200 fromthe same period in 2011.

Cash block cheeseclosed the week of May21 at $1.57 per pound,

up 7 cents on the week(most of it coming on Friday) but still 24cents below a year ago when the blocksjumped 10.25 cents to $1.81. Barrelclosed at $1.47, up a penny on the weekand 34.75 cents below a year ago. Fourcars of block traded hands on the week.The Agricultural Marketing Service-sur-veyed block price averaged $1.5271,down slightly, while the barrels aver-aged $1.4887, down a half-cent.

■

Milk supplies across the UnitedStates remain above year-ago levelsand much of that milk is finding itsway to cheese plants, according to theUSDA’s Dairy Market News.

Discounts are being offered to plants toencourage higher production but cheesestocks are up, as evidenced in April ColdStorage data. Plants are keeping a closeeye on inventories as demand is “moder-ate,” according to the USDA. Increasedfeatures in retail advertising are helpingto move additional supplies and exportsare being aided by the CooperativesWorking Together.

The CWT accepted 24 requests forexport assistance this week to sell atotal of 3.578 million pounds of cheeseand 1.642 million pounds of butter tocustomers in Asia, Africa, CentralAmerica and the Middle East. TheCWT’s 2012 cheese exports now standat 53.8 million pounds plus 44.4 mil-lion of butter and anhydrous milk fat.

April 30 American cheese stockstotaled 628.4 million pounds, up 1 per-cent from March and 1 percent aboveApril 2011, according to the latest ColdStorage data. The total cheese inven-tory, at 1.02 billion pounds, was up 2percent from March but down 1 per-cent from a year ago.

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

King of Fish

Garrison, Minn.

The walleye is Minnesota’s King of Fish.Like kings of olden times, our King Fish

has two capitals. Baudette, in the FarNorth, is the Walleye Capital of the World.So, one would imagine, the Walleye Kingrules the walleye world from Baudettewhen he is in residence in that fair town onthe banks of Lake of the Woods. However,Garrison, on the shores of Mille Lacs, isalso the Walleye Capital of the World.

Humans in both towns have erected stat-ues to the Walleye King. A plaque below thewalleye icon at Garrison says that PaulBunyan caught this walleye. That’s nottrue. Don’t be taken in. Both sculptures aregifts to the humans from the Walleye King.

Each year the Walleye King also givesMinnesotans the gift of 3.8 million poundsof his smaller cousins. Minnesotans eatmore of this flaky white-meated fish, whichis actually a perch and not a pike, than thepeople of any other state in this U.S. of A.

Most of these cousins are caught in thestate’s big walleye factory lakes of MilleLacs, Lake of the Woods and Win-nibigoshish. Those lakes have the perfectcombination of depth and habitat to pro-duce millions of pounds of wild walleye.

If you wish to reap some of the WalleyeKing’s bounty, the basics are fairly simple. It’sall about the eyes. Walleye’s whitish eyes aredesigned to see in limited light or somewhatmurky water. So, at night, they move intofairly shallow waters to feed. During the daythey go dimmer and deeper — to 15 to 25 feetor more, depending on the water clarity.Windy, choppy days are good walleye fishingbecause the waves filter the bright light andallow the light-sensitive fish to rise from thedepths.

Everybody loves catching a stringer ofwalleye. Everybody dreams of landing a tro-phy. Minnesota’s record whopper walleyewas pulled from the Seagull River where itenters Saganaga Lake on the edge of theBoundary Waters wilderness. It weighed 17pounds, 8 ounces and measured 35.8 incheslong. That’s a big fish! But the biggest-everwalleye weighed 25 pounds. It was caughtin Tennessee waters. Saskatchewan claimsthe walleye as its Provincial Fish and hasan 18.3-pound record walleye.

If Minnesota intends to keep two WalleyeCapitals of the World, our fishermen shouldstop eating so much and start catchingsomething big.
