“An exciting opportunity lies ahead of you.”I’m not a big fan of fortune cookies. Mostly

because, more often than not, they don’tactually contain ... you know ... fortunes.Instead, once you crack the cookie open,that little slip of paper will make somepointless observation like “Look before youleap” or “Plant more corn acres” or “Youreally shouldn’t have eaten all seven ofthose cream cheese wontons just now.”

Those are advice cookies. If I wantadvice, I’ll sit out in the car and listen toDave Ramsey’s radio show. But I don’t.Instead, what I want is to quietly digestmy pork fried rice and be told by acookie what my future holds.

Well, I finally got what I wanted a while back whenI was told my future was about to get “exciting.” Iknew exactly what my wise little pastry was hintingat: Getting to help my elder daughter buy her first car.

Before I go any further I shall note that, in thisparticular instance, “help” refers strictly to parentaladvice — no Chinese food purchase necessary —rather than financial aid. My spouse and I definitelywanted her to achieve the greater independence anautomobile brings, but insisted she be patient andearn it on her own. Although patience is not herforte, she worked very hard for a long time to save

up the big bucks. So kudos to her, despitewhat I’m about to say about her.

She was horrible to car shop with.Every vehicle she looked at had a deal-

breaking characteristic — too expensive,too beat up, too old, too far away, too manymiles, too low mileage, already sold — andsomehow (for the life of me I couldn’tfathom why) it was all my fault.

It took far too long, but A) I finallyremembered Rule No. 1 of Parenting:“Your child’s problem will soon become

your problem” — which should probablybe in a fortune cookie — and B) shefinally came around to accepting the

concept of compromise.That was the magical moment when she quit talk-

ing about needing a “sexy” car, and started seriouslylooking at listings for good but less-than-excitingvehicles such as station wagons and even (gasp!)minivans. And whad’ya know ... she found one.

Parked in our driveway right now is a fairlydecent, 12-year-old General Motors minivan. My kidhas her own wheels, and I didn’t have to pay for it.

March 8 was National Agriculture Day.Much has changed since University of Min-nesota grad Don Neth started this day tohonor agriculture more than 40 years ago.Back then, talk about agriculture focused on“the farm problem” and what to do with sur-pluses. Today the surpluses are gone, andsome are suggesting this might be theGolden Age of Agriculture.

We are living in a time of record landprices and good profits from agriculture.Today agriculture employs 14 percent ofthe U.S. workforce and agricultural graduates havemultiple job offers. There is an increased recognitionof the importance of farmers and food. Even BillGates, the second-richest person in the world, is nowdevoting his wealth toward improving agriculturalproductivity.

Polls show strong support for agriculture. Ninety-five percent of Americans say they believe it isimportant to grow food domestically. More than 80

percent of Minnesotans say they have a posi-tive view of agriculture in the state.

The temptation on National AgricultureDay is to sit back, decide things are goingwell and enjoy listening to the good thingsbeing said. The challenge is to appreciate thecompliments while continuing the hard workthat brought agriculture to where it is today.

One of those challenges is educatingconsumers. Many Minnesotans andmost Americans are three, four or five

generations away from a family connec-tion to a farm or a farmer. University of MinnesotaExtension educators working in farm-to-school pro-grams frequently discover students who know aboutfrench fries, but have no idea what a potato lookslike. Telling the story of how food is produced andwhat farmers do has never been more importantthan it is today.

Commentary: National Ag Day callsfor celebration, as well as reflection

OPINIONBev Durgan

See DURGAN, pg. 3A

The Minnesota Farm Bureau Federa-tion submitted comments on behalf ofFarm Bureau members from Minnesotato the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on theproposed Concentrated Animal Feeding Operationreporting rule.

In the comments, MFBF President Kevin Paapsaid that the proposed rule’s two primary options aresignificantly flawed because they exceed the EPA’sauthority under the Clean Water Act while creatingintense security, safety and privacy concerns forfarmers. There is ample public information alreadyavailable that the EPA can gather for CWA pur-poses. “We urge the EPA to pursue that approachinstead.”

Paap also said that the MFBF objects to the pro-posed rule’s two primary options for the followingfour reasons.

First, many of today’s livestock and poultry farms

are designed and ranso as not to have anydischarges. As no-dis-

charge facilities, they merit such apresumption under Section 308and should not be required toreport unless information applica-ble specifically to them indicatesotherwise.

Second, these two options would effectively createa publicly available “national registry” of the approx-imately 20,000 farms the EPA says would be subjectto this rule. This greatly raises the risk that thesefarms and many farm families will experience mali-cious acts of violence and intimidation by extremists.Two such unlawful and violent incidents took placein California recently.

Third, such a national registry also creates unac-ceptable national biosecurity risks inconsistent with

federal policy under the 2004presidential directive “Defense ofUnited States Agriculture andFood” and the 2007 NationalInfrastructure Protection Planthat treats livestock and poultryfacilities as critical infrastructureto be protected from terrorist acts.

Lastly, “when people come ontoour members’ farms unauthorized (even withoutmalicious intent) and fail to follow their animalhealth protocols, the risk of disease and death fortheir animals increases exponentially. Contact withpeople not following these practices is one of the topmethods for the transmission of animal diseasefrom farm to farm.”

Paap also said that the EPA’s third approachwould use information already publicly available.The MFBF does not oppose this approach, butwould oppose the EPA compiling that informationinto some kind of central registry because it toraises security and privacy concerns.

Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation representingfarmers, families, food is comprised of 78 local FarmBureau associations across Minnesota. Membersmake their views known to political leaders, state gov-ernment officials, special interest groups and the gen-eral public.

Programs for young farmers and ranchers developleadership skills and improve farm management.Promotion and Education Committee memberswork with programs such as Ag in the Classroomand safety education.

DURGAN, from pg. 2ANot only do we need to teach consumers about

farming, but those of us who work in agricultureneed to continually upgrade our knowledge. Foodproduction is a technology business today. Guidanceand GPS tools help put the crop in the field andmicro-controllers move food safely from the field tothe plate. One reason new agricultural graduates arein such high demand is they have science smarts andtechnology skills. They will learn that skill develop-ment does not stop at graduation.

Agricultural careers require continual updating ofskills and knowledge. That is one reason why we seesuch high participation in Extension programs thatbring the latest knowledge to farmers and agricul-

tural professionals. It is also the reason that the newagricultural research discoveries that solve problemsfor farmers are so important today.

National Agriculture Day is a day to celebrate thesuccess of American agriculture and reflect on whatwill be needed in the future. The University of Min-nesota is committed to providing the research-basedinformation farmers need to succeed — on NationalAgriculture Day as well as the other 364 days of theyear.

... many of today’slivestock and poultryfarms are designedand ran so as not tohave any discharges.

For over 20 years Jackie served as themain field hand on the big dairy farm ofmy youth. He was one tough piece of sun-baked leather who never weighed morethan 150 pounds when fully clothed,soaking wet and carrying a 10-poundsledge hammer.

He possessed a hired man’s respect fortalk; he talked only when talked to andthen, most times, in a collection of south-ern Illinois’ phrases that carried morecode than context.

For example, once my father asked himhow much plowing he had completed ina field on the farm’s far flank. Jackie’sreply was a perfectly vague, “Rightsmart.”

My father, not knowing what “right smart” meant,drove to the field to discover the 40-acre field wasnearly half plowed. That knowledge, however, onlyraised another question: Was “right smart” about 20acres or about halfway?

That head-shaker had another perfectly vague,often-used Jackie-ism: It’s a mystery. The sentencewas usually delivered with a noticeable cock of hishead to the right and with the operative wordsounding more like a two-syllable proper noun —Miss Tree — than a three-syllable common noun,mystery.

Two more things you won’t know about Jackieunless I tell you: he was illiterate and his given

name was Herbert. He could sign his legalname in a slow, shaky hand but he could-n’t read any sentence it might appear in.

Jackie comes to mind (as he might tolong-time readerswho may recall amention of himyears ago) moreand more as awarm winter andhot political seasonbrings a rightsmart amount of

vapor lock tomore brainsthan usual.

For example, commodity groups, farm organiza-tions, several state legislatures and many in the agpress are all aflutter over what they breathlesslywarn is a well-oiled vegetarian conspiracy to kill ani-mal agriculture.

Moreover, these worried carnivores — whose live-stock are, curiously, mostly vegan — brook no com-promise by any market-driven customer like McDon-ald’s and Chipotle whose diners say they willcontinue to happily enjoy eggs and chew bacon fromhens and hogs they believe are, well, happy.

What makes a hen or hog happy? It’s a mystery butI reckon it’s a very safe bet — a right smart bet, infact — that the 67 square inches that compose acaged laying hen’s entire world doesn’t hold a lotta’laughs.

In fact, doubling that space to 124 square inchesprobably doesn’t harbor a whole lot more but it hasto hold twice as many as something that goes by the

grim name “battery cage.”At least that’s what the United Egg Producers, a

nationwide farm cooperative that represents the own-ers of 95 percent of the laying hens in America,

believes. The UEP is workingwith the Humane Society of the

U.S. to codify federal regulationsit knows its customers knowthey want for its chickens.

And how do these customers— most of whom have nevermet a chicken, let alone ahappy chicken, in their lives —know? They know by where

and how they spend theirmoney; they are customers and they are always right.

Some in the Bacon Gang are getting smarter, too.McDonald’s announced in mid-February it would notpurchase bacon from any producer that “confinespregnant sows in gestation crates.”

Big Mac is a latecomer on the happy hog train.Already on it are Burger King, Winn-Dixie andWendy’s. Smithfield’s, the biggest bacon maker in theworld, has pledged to hop on by 2017 when all itsgestation crates will be gone.

Are these global food sellers anti-meat vegans orare they smart marketers who know their customersare always right?

My bet is they’re right smart marketers. Smarter,anyway, than anyone who insists they are right andtheir customers are wrong.

FARM & FOOD FILE

By Alan Guebert

Are these global food sellersanti-meat vegans or arethey smart marketers whoknow their customers arealways right?

By RICHARD SIEMERSThe Land Correspondent

It was minutes before the studentswould start arriving, and the fivewomen in the kitchen were movingfast, cutting Stromboli, pouring corninto warming containers, dollopingwhipped cream on the pumpkindessert, putting out plates.

They paused for a moment togather in a circle and say a prayer, and when the stu-dents started to line up, they were ready.

The students were greeted by name and with asmile, and asked how much they wanted of each itembeing placed on a colorful glass plate. Then eachchose a spot at tables already set with silverwareand cloth napkins. A “grandmother” came around tofill their glass cup with milk or water.

It was lunchtime at Marshall Area ChristianSchool, a kindergarten through eighth grade schoolin its 23rd year. The Daily Bread lunch program isnow in its fourth year.

Hot lunches at MACS were beingprepared and served by the Mar-shall public school kitchens untilthey no longer felt they could con-tinue. When MACS school boardsent an e-mail asking if anyone hadany ideas, “we started imagining,”said Julie Christensen.

Christensen and Melinda Meierwondered why they couldn’t do what

they were already doing at home, on a larger scale ina commercially equipped kitchen. They came up withThe Daily Bread Lunch Program.

“Our mission statement hasn’t changed since westarted out,” Christensen said.

That mission statement reads: “The Daily Breadprovides nutritious and economical lunches to Mar-shall Area Christian School students, staff and fami-lies, striving to honor and protect God’s creation.Locally grown and all natural ingredients are usedin food preparation, and reusable tableware, recy-cling and sharing excess are practiced.”

The Daily Bread serves two hot lunches each week,and is hoping to increase to three. (Students carrytheir lunch the other days.) It is operated by parentsand has its own budget, but works with the blessingand sometimes direction of the school board.

MACS has an enrollment of 75 students in firstthrough eighth grades. They serve about 90 percentof the student body at each meal, along with staffand parents who may come to eat.

Their first goal is to provide nutritious hot meals.To do that they have gotten to know local producers,and sought out organic sources when possible.Christensen said that the Land Stewardship Pro-ject was helpful at the beginning for locating localsources. They purchase as close to home as possible,but parents have driven some distance to pick upfood items at various Minnesota communities.

LUNCH, from pg. 5AVegetables come from Earthrise

Farm near Madison, meats from Min-nesota Valley Organics near Echo, andPastures-A-Plenty near Kerkhoven,berries from Hilltop Harvest nearVesta, grains from Whole Grain Millingat Welcome, eggs from Four SeasonsOrganic Farms near Ghent, and puremaple syrup from Kroll’s near LongPrairie. One of their longest drives wasto southeast Minnesota to purchasefrozen organic vegetables from Sno-Pac, a family run business.

One of their sec-ondary goals is toexpand the stu-dents’ food palettes.This is not so muchintroducing them toexotic flavors as itis acquaintingthem with fresh ingre-dients as opposed to theprocessed food so manyeat these days.

“Imagine tater tot hotdish with allorganic and local ingredients,” Chris-tensen said. “The same with our pan-cakes,” which are served with realwhipped cream and local strawberries.“Even our mac and cheese is madefrom scratch with organic ingredients.”

While their lunch program is not anew idea — it is done on a larger scalein places like California — it is uniqueto this area. They know of only oneschool in Wisconsin with a similarlunch program, though they would behappy to share experiences withanother program if there is one.

What may be unique is that they seethis not only as feeding their childrennutritious meals (the almost 20 volun-teers are mostly mothers of students), butalso as being stewards of God’s creation.The stewardship begins by caring fortheir bodies by eating healthy meals, andextends to supporting local farmers whogrow the food. (Most days a board tellsthe students where their food came from.)

That stewardship includes reusabletableware and cloth napkins, whichvolunteers wash. It also means havingminimal food waste.

“From all of these kids eating, we mayhave three cups at most of discardedfood,” Lori Skrien said. That is accom-plished by individualizing the portionsizes. If a student thinks they will notlike something, they are encouraged toat least take a taste and, if they like it,

they can come back for more.The leftover food from a meal is

shared. “When we do have excess,”Skrien said, “there are plenty of fami-lies in need. If there’s a family that weknow has chronic issues (like illness orunemployment), we will give them allof our excess for a month.”

They will even prepare extra so thereis food to share.

All of this is carried off without anygovernment commodities or support. Vol-unteers are a major part of the success.

Skrien is paid amodest salary tocoordinate thelunch program, butthe rest of the cooksand help are volun-teers. That salaryand the kitchenrent are covered byan annualfundraiser. The foodpurchases are cov-ered by the meal

costs, which this year for a MACS stu-dent is $2.85 with scholarships available.

Along with the healthy food, the healthyatmosphere is a big part of The DailyBread lunch program: smiles and greetingby name when students go through thelunch line, large colorful plates (there areno plastic trays) that are filled for the stu-dent to carry to a table already set, oldervolunteers who serve milk and water.

“It’s the total experience,” Skriensaid, “sitting down and eating like afamily, which is a luxury many familiesdon’t experience these days.”

Christensen and Skrien would tellyou that it hasn’t been easy, locatingsources and keeping costs down, but itis the successes they like to dwell on —360 people at their fundraising pan-cake breakfast last fall, a mother whoorganized a buying club to purchaseitems that cannot be purchased locally,parents who have started a year-roundgreenhouse. And, of course, theirenthusiasm for what they are doing.

As The Daily Bread goes through itsfourth year, the organizers are moreand more encouraged by its success.

“We feel it must be the right thing,”Skrien said, “because it has really beenblessed through the trials and tribula-tions.”

If you’re interested in learning more orsharing your experience, you may contactLori Skrien at [email protected] orJulie Christensen at [email protected]. ❖

Farmers shudder to think that many consumerstoday don’t understand where their food comesfrom. A visit to a coffee plantation and a nut pro-cessing company on the Big Island of Hawaii andthe Dole Plantation on Oahu would prove to main-land farmer/tourists that they sometimes fall intothe uneducated consumer category.

Phil Becker and his wife, Merle, operate the AikanePlantation and Coffee Co. begun by Merle’s greatgrandfather in 1894 near the Kilauea volcano on theBig Island. They have received numerous awards fortheir operation, and their coffee is the only Hawaiianbrand to receive the Hawaii seal of quality.

“We pick the coffee beans, or ‘cherries,’ by handfrom August through April,” said Angie, one of theplantation workers. “But because of this season, Ithink we’ll be picking until June.”

Trees continually produce cherries, so pickerscheck the trees frequently. Freshly picked berriesare covered with water overnight to ferment beforebeing power washed by hand the next day.

“We spread the cherries on screens so the sun candry them to 14-percent moisture,” Angie told thevisitors. “Next, we transfer them to wooden racks tocomplete the drying process” to 9 percent.

The dried beans are then bagged and transportedto the roasting plant. Corn and soybean farmersmight be surprised to learn that coffee farmers usethe DICKEY-john moisture tester on the plantation.

The average size of the 700 coffee plantations onthe island of Hawaii is 5 acres, but the Becker plan-tation boasts 10 acres, with plans to expand. Thelabor-intensive production process enlightens coffeelovers on the high price of quality coffee and explainswhy coffee plantations are so small.Minnesota connection

Visitors at the Hamakua Macadamia Nut Co. onthe northwest coast of Hawaii will discover a Min-nesota-Hawaii connection dating back to World War II. The military served Spam processed in Austin,

Minn., to troops during the war, but long after thetroops retreated, Spam remained.

Restaurant breakfast menus on the islands includeSpam as a meat option, and the large Spam-flavoredmacadamia nut display at the Hamakua visitor cen-ter confirms Spam’s continued popularity.

“Some companies import the raw nuts, but we useonly macadamia nuts grown in the HawaiianIslands,” said the clerk. “We have samples of most ofour flavored nuts. Help yourself and see which oneyou like best. Then take our self-guided tour.” A con-sumer wanting the healthiest cooking oil may wantto consider Macadamia nut oil because it rivals oliveoil’s benefits. The oil is 80-percent monounsaturated,has no trans fat or carbohydrates, and is the lowestof all food oils in Omega-6 fatty acids. The oil has ashelf life of two years and has a smoke point of 389degrees, twice that of extra-virgin olive oil.Dole assumption wrong

Consumers often assume pineapple comes from aDole plantation in Hawaii. At one time, that assump-tion was accurate, but several years ago, Dole movedmost of its operations to Thailand and the Philippinesbecause of labor costs. Today Dole’s Hawaiian pineap-ple is grown for local consumption and for touristswho want to ship a fresh pineapple to the mainland.

St. Augustine once said, “The world is a book andthose who do not travel read only one page.” A trip toHawaii enables the tourist to read a few more pagesand to become a more-educated consumer.

The author visited the plantation and coffee com-pany while in Hawaii for the American Farm Bureauannual meeting earlier this year. ❖

Hawaiian style: Uneducated consumer or savvy shopper?

It looks elementary.Electronic ear tags that precisely determine

how much feed a given gestation animal getsto eat during any 24-hour period. This isn’tnew technology; it’s already common in milk-ing parlors and robotic milking operations.

That said, Nedap Agri’s display at January’sMinnesota Pork Expo still generated questionsbecause with farrowing crates a diminishing strat-egy in modern swine production, stall feeding viaelectronics is being looked at.

Gary Wyse, representing Nedap at the Expo,explained his electronic sow feeding technology thisway: “With the ear tag in place, each animal walksinto a feed station which automatically locks behindthe animal, providing total security as it munchesthrough its daily ration. An antenna reads the eartag identifying the animal and then dispenses theexact amount of feed for that particular animal.”

If it’s a five-pound allotment for that particularsow, feed gets dropped in 3 1/2 to 4-ounce incrementsuntil the total allotment is reached. The system alsosimultaneously adds some water to the “feedingbowl” so she’s enjoying a mush meal, so to speak.“Sort of like getting milk with your crackers,” Wysesaid. It’s not enough water to drink but it certainlymakes dry feed more palatable.

Feeding time is adjustable. If the producer prefershis sows and gilts eating only during an 8 a.m. to 10a.m. period, so be it. However “chow time” can be anytime within a 24-hour time frame. Typically gestat-ing sows eat only once per day, but if a particularanimal prefers eating two or three times per day, shecan be ear tagged with information that triggers thefeeding stalls accordingly.

The number of stalls depends on herd size as wellas the cost efficiencies a particular producer is look-ing for. Wyse said, “with fewer sows and more spaceper sow, the higher the production on a piglet-per-sow-per-year basis up to about 24 square feet persow and 45 sows per station. In this scenario you cansee upwards of 30 piglets per sow per year. Moresows per feeding station and arithmetically you seea downward trend in piglets per sow per year.”

He said Nedap doesn’t have substantiatedresearch to verify anticipated production declines ifsows per feeding station get increased above thatsuggested 45-sow figure. “But you will see a declinein a sow’s piglet production as you increase up to 65animals per feeding station.”

Cost per feeding station as compared to a typicalstall barn is about $200 to $210 per sow space in thesystem. The electronics of this sophisticated systemare guaranteed for 30 months from date of manufac-ture. The systems are manufactured in Holland,long a leader in animal handling equipment. Eartags are warranted for five years. “If they getdumped into the manure pit, and you can find themsend us the damaged tag and we’ll send you a newone,” Wyse said.

Farm costs are about $10 per ear tag. Wyse admitsthat these tags are expensive but with a five-yearwarranty they can be reused multiple times, mean-ing if the “older sows” get marketed and the five-

year span hasn’t expired, the tags can be taken offthe departing sows and can be used on the gilts.

Labor savings with this automated system aredifficult to predict. “It depends so much on how aparticular producer sets up his overall housing andhandling for his gilts and sows. However with adynamic group it can be substantial. We have a1,000-sow producer in Manitoba that has only threeguys to run the entire operation,” Wyse said.

The system can do several automated jobs. Forexample, when you need to administer shots, if theyare spray marked with a different color, it can sortout and direct these individuals into a specific pen.And it can adjust to handle DDGs in the ration,even up to a 40-percent level.

“As long as it’s still a dry feed the system will han-dle such a ration,” Wyse said. “But you can adjusteach sow’s feed strategy by the parity of that sow.Also you can adjust by body condition scores of eachanimal. You have the opportunity to use up to 999feed strategies with this system.”

Note that this system is designed only for sowsand gilts during their gestation period. It is not alactation feeding system.

This technology dates back to 1982, and the cur-rent electronic system has been available since1996. “Today it’s just an easier system to work with.It’s very common in the western European nations.We have some installations in China, and some inEastern Europe,” Wyse said, and it’s now slowlyworking into the American swine industry. In West-ern Europe “open pen” gestation becomes manda-tory in 2013, so as sow stalls disappear, the Nedapsystem will become much more common.

Sort of like getting milk withyour crackers.

— Gary Wyse, speaking ofadding water to feeding bowl


The Minnesota Pork Congress is oneof the larger state pork shows inAmerica, with a broad agenda thatputs the emphasis on great speakersand challenging topics. This year’sagenda included a Manure Applica-tors Workshop, Pork Export Projec-tions, Energy Savings in Nurserieswith Reduced Nocturnal Temperatureand Alternative Feed Ingredients.

“The exhibitors obviously helpfinance these events and theexhibitors go where the pork produc-

ers are. Iowa and Minnesota are wherethe most producers are found,” saidMinnesota Pork Producers ExecutiveDirector Dave Preisler.

The Minnesota Pork Congress drawsfrom North Dakota, South Dakota,Canada, Wisconsin and northern Iowa.Even though there is consolidationwithin the support industry, exhibitornumbers keep increasing. “Almost 10more exhibitors this year than lastyear, which was also a record number,”Preisler said. This year’s list tallied150, with several out of Canada and afew even from Europe and Asia.

The beef industry talks of a reposi-tioning going on because of the severedrought through cattle country ofsouthwest United States. Is the porkindustry repositioning?

“Yes,” Preisler said, but it’s not aweather-related phenomena. The “peo-ple resources” and physical infrastruc-ture to better handle the pork industryhave shifted things to the Upper Mid-west. Perhaps not surprisingly, ourmanure handling capabilities are betterhere. “There’s tremendous demand fromother farmers,” he said, “plus we havethe cultivated crops for positioning ofour livestock manure. And because ofenvironmental issues that have becomea huge advantage for this area.”

So are the attendees at the Min-nesota Pork Congress more “tuned in”these days? Preisler thinks so, perhapsbecause many pork producers areyounger. They have an insatiable questfor information and new technologies.There’s simply more “action” at a pork

show than a crop show.“What I’m seeing are a lot more

younger guys and gals coming back tothe farm. A profitable industry thatalso offers a good lifestyle, especiallyfor young families, is making the differ-ence,” Preisler said. In addition, a lot oftoday’s hog operations are big enoughto support more than one family. Inessence, Dad now has the financialopportunity for his offspring to returnto the farm. “Meeting the next genera-tion of pork producers is a special treatfor me at our shows,” Preisler said.

Economist Steve Meyer predicts porkprofits for 2012 might parallel thestrong profits of the 2011 marketingyear, and Preisler agrees. Meyer wastalking upwards of $14 per head profitsfor 2012 and that about matches 2011profits for many producers.

“Historically that’s a good margin,”Preisler said. “Yes, revenues have

PORK, from pg. 10Aincreased significantly, but costs aredoing the same upward climb. So justlooking at percent return on invest-ment, this might not be as good assome of our better years, however a‘black ink’ year is good for everyone.”

Who owns the hog industry thesedays? Consolidation the past severalyears has drastically lowered the num-ber of producers, and in many areas ithas also skewed ownership. Preislersaid that in Minnesota it’s still a diver-sified industry, and it is still Min-nesota-owned.

“We have a lot of what I call verycompetitive mid-sized operations thathave gotten very good at raising porkand putting proven technology towork,” Preisler said, “and we still havemany Minnesota farmers who growcrops and hogs and that’s a very com-petitive model.

“We went so far and so fast into spe-cialization. Now we’re seeing diversifi-cation back on the scene and a majorreason is the big impact of manure uti-lization. You really can drop the cost ofcrop production by using your own hogmanure as the primary fertility ingre-dient for your corn crop.”

Pork exports are staying strong, cur-rently at about 27 percent of total U.S.production, Preisler said. That numberkeeps ramping up, especially becauseof the demand out of China, Korea andother Southeast Asia countries. Twoadvantages are driving this exportmarket: The “pig health” issue for hogsproduced in China and South Korea;plus livestock density is getting to be asignificant problem in China and otherAsian countries.

Interestingly, China still producesabout 10 times more pork than doesthe United States. Yet Meyer said theChinese farmer still lives in a “Com-munist command” society, so whatmotivates the Chinese pork farmer?

Preisler has traveled to China a fewtimes. He’s keenly aware of some ofwhat is happening in this country ofnearly 2 billion people. They’re not the“back yard” pig producers anymore.

“They’re making money,” he said,“and now there are a growing numberof private-public partnerships whichlessens the financial risk and helpsgenerate better-equipped hog produc-tion facilities. But they’re being chal-lenged by not having enough farmableland, and acute water supply prob-lems. The pig density in China is five

times the pig density of Iowa. That justcomplicates the disease issues for theChinese swine industry.”

Can the swine market get strongenough to ration consumption by theU.S. household? Potentially yes,Preisler said, noting that severaldynamics come into play. Perhaps No.1is that other white meat — the broiler

industry — which puts the cheapestprotein into the meat counter. How-ever both Preisler and Meyer predictbroiler prices, too, will climb simplybecause the broiler producer can’tmake a profit on $1 chicken breasts.

Preisler and Meyer spoke at the Min-nesota Pork Congress in Minneapolisin January. ❖

This column was written for the mar-keting week ending March 2.

Farm milk prices dropped for the sec-ond month in a row. The U.S. Departmentof Agriculture announced the Februaryfederal order benchmark Class III priceat $16.06 per hundredweight, down 99cents from January, 94 cents below Feb-ruary 2011, $2.64 above California’s com-parable 4b cheese milk price, and equatesto about $1.38 per gallon. Class IIIfutures show additional slippage aheadand were trading late Friday morningwith the March contract at $15.27;April, $14.97; May, $15.02; June,$15.46; with a peak of $16.40 in Octo-ber. The February Class IV price is $15.92, down 64cents from January and $2.48 below a year ago.

The four-week National Agricultural StatisticsService-surveyed cheese price averaged $1.5410 perpound, down 6.9 cents from January. Butter aver-aged $1.4712, down 11.9 cents. Nonfat dry milkaveraged $1.3792, down a penny and a half, and drywhey averaged 64 cents/lb., down 4.8 cents.

California’s corresponding 4b cheese milk price is$13.42, down 81 cents from January, and $3.50below a year ago The 4a butter-powder price is$15.51, down 67 cents from January and $2.37below a year ago.

There wasn’t a lot for the cash dairy markets to

chew on this week as far as governmentreports and awaited Friday afternoon’sJanuary Dairy Products report. The cheeseclosed March 2 on a down note but up onthe week, with the blocks at $1.48/lb., up1.25 cents on the week but 54 cents belowa year ago. The barrels also closed at$1.48, up a penny on the week and 50cents below a year ago. Twenty-one cars ofblock — 13 on Friday — and eight of bar-rel traded hands on the week. The NASSU.S. average block price fell to $1.4940,down 1.1 cent. The barrels averaged

$1.5143 also down 1.1 cent.Cheese production continues to be

active as increased milk supplies arearriving at manufacturing facilities, according to theUSDA’s weekly update. “Higher than anticipated milksupplies and favorable yields are adding to currentcheese production,” it said, but retailers are featuringincreased cheese ads in many parts of the country.“This is helping to clear inventories,” according to theUSDA, and increased pizza sales and retail featureshave combined to support Mozzarella sales. Buyerslooking to build stocks for aging programs are alsoshowing better interest. Excess production is beingoffered to the export market.

Dairy profitability took a hit in February, accordingto Dairy Profit Weekly, based the USDA’s latest AgPrices report which indicated some stark contrastsbetween the earning power of milk cows and thecash value of cull cows.

Higher corn, soybean and high prices, combinedwith lower U.S. average milk prices, sent the Febru-

ary 2012 milk-feed price ratio to its lowest level sinceJuly 2009, according to the DPW. The index, at just1.58, was down from January’s revised estimate of1.72, and February 2011’s 2.01. The index is based onthe current milk price in relationship to feed pricesfor a ration of 51 percent corn, 8 percent soybeansand 41 percent alfalfa hay. At $17.90/cwt., the aver-age milk price is the lowest in 13 months.

Compared to July 2009, the February 2012 indexgot this low in a slightly different manner, accordingto the DPW, markedly higher feed costs. In 2009, the1.57 index came about from a milk price of just$11.30/cwt.

Rising feed costs and declining milk prices areexpected to result in Milk Income Loss Contract pay-ments in 2012 according to the Chicago MercantileExchange’s Daily Dairy Report. It quoted estimatesfrom the University of Wisconsin’s Brian Gould, whosays MILC payments could range from 44 cents inMarch to almost $1/cwt. in June based upon esti-mated milk and feed costs.

Meanwhile, February cull cow (beef and dairy com-bined) prices rose above $80/cwt., likely the higheston record, according to the USDA’s preliminary esti-mates. February prices averaged $80.10/cwt., up$5.50 from January’s revised estimate of $74.60, and$7.60/cwt. higher than February 2011. The Februaryaverage puts the beef value of a 1,200-pound cull cowat $961 per head. The USDA also said replacementcows averaged $1,420 per head in 2011, up about $90from 2010.

Local Corn and Soybean Price Index

Grain AnglesUSDA economist:Everything’s rosesOn Feb. 22 and 23, the U.S. Department of Agricul-

ture held their annual Agricultural Forum.The USDA’s top economist, Joseph Glauber,

described a strong farm economy with bright prospectsof the next year. He said, “2011 was a very good yearfor much of U.S. agriculture; we saw record prices formany commodities, record agricul-tural exports and record farmincome. Not surprising, recordprices have prompted record pro-duction for many commodities andas we saw over the last half of2011, prices for grains, oilseeds andcotton have come down, reflectingstrong production levels.”

The USDA projected a 14.27 bil-lion bushel corn crop from 94 mil-lion acres planted. This would be arecord that’s enough to replenishstocks. If this were to occur it wouldput downward pressure on prices.The USDA is predicting farmers will receive an averageprice of $5 per bushel in the 2012-13 crop year. Thisprice is the average cash price received at the farm gate.

Soybean production is projected 6 percent higher at3.25 billion bushels due to increased harvested acreageand yield. Planting will be 75 million acres, but theaverage yield is projected at 43.9 bushels an acre, up 2.4percent from 2011. Soybean farm prices are expected todrop slightly to an average of $11.50 per bushel.

Wheat production in 2012 is expected to increasemore than 8 percent to 2.165 billion bushels due to ahike in acreage and yield. The national averagewheat yield is projected at 44.5 bushels per acre, up0.8 bushels from 2011. The stocks-to-use ratio for2012-13 is projected at 44 percent. The 2012-13 farmprices for all wheat are projected at $6.30 a bushel.

Cotton acreage is expected to decline about 10 per-

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing March 2.

CORN — The corn market fin-ished the week on a strong note.

For the week, the March contractwas up 18.25 cents and the Decem-ber contract was up 12 cents. Thenearby contract has now recoveredall the losses seen following theJanuary U.S. Department of Agri-culture report, closing at the high-est level of 2012 on March 2.

Cash markets have continuedto provide support, although themain strength this week was dueto spillover support from the soy-bean market. The 2012 crop insurance price levelswere finalized this week, coming in at $5.68 for cornand $12.55 for soybeans. That compares to $6.01 forcorn in 2011, and $13.51 for soybeans.

That means that the soybean-corn ratio has movedin favor of corn this year compared to 2011, but notnearly as much as it looked like it would prior to Feb-ruary. The ratio dipped below 2.0 in November, andspent much of December and early January below2.1, strongly favoring corn. In 2011, the ratio was2.25, and in 2012 it will be fairly close to that level at2.21. With many, if not most plans made prior to theend of February, rotations are not likely to changesignificantly due to the recent soybean rally, but soy-beans have certainly become more competitive onflex acres. Corn acreage will still be favored thisspring if the weather allows for timely planting.

Livestock AnglesOne market on fire;

one smolderingThe livestock markets are quite the interesting mar-

kets these days. One of the markets has been on fire,while the other seems to be content to just smolder. Thisbrings to mind that there might be some major changesin the weeks and months ahead in the livestock industry.

The firestorm has been in the cattle market whichhas continued to make new all-time highs in price on a seeminglyregular basis. The most commonreason given for the strength hasbeen the reduced numbers of cat-tle. This may have been the cata-lyst to get the market moving tothe higher prices, but the mostprominent reason since the firstof the year has been the influx ofspeculative money infused intothe futures market.

Price discovery has not been afunction of the current fundamen-tals, but rather the movement inthe futures prices that have dictated the price paid inthe cash market. The heavy concentration of this spec-ulative money has been to the long side of the marketand has overwhelmed the trade into believing that theonly direction is up for cattle prices. This is reminis-cent of other markets that have moved to extreme lev-els which are labeled bubble markets. The problemwith bubbles is they tend to burst when over-inflated.

The fundamentals are a concern at this juncture aspackers have been forced to pay higher prices for liveinventory, the beef cutouts have not kept up with thecosts of the raw product and the profit margin for thepacker has disappeared. Because the beef cutout hasmoved higher the domestic demand for beef hasshrunk accordingly. A typical “Catch-22.”

On Feb. 24 the U.S. Department of Agriculturereleased the Monthly Cattle on Feed Report. The

EMSLIE, from pg. 15AInforma Economics left

its estimate for Brazilianproduction unchanged this month at 61.5 millionmetric tons. Its estimate for Argentina was alsounchanged at 22.5 mmt. These are both 0.5 mmthigher than the February estimates from the USDA.

The president of Argentina said this week in apolitical speech that production would be 22 mmt.Weekly exports from the United States were fairlyroutine at 690,000 mt. The daily reporting systemreported a sale of 120,000 mt of optional origin cornto Mexico this week. Mexico takes almost exclu-sively U.S. corn, with the only small exceptionsbeing an occasional shipment of white corn.

Weekly ethanol production declined for a secondstraight week to 896,000 barrels per day, the lowestlevel since October. Ethanol stocks increased to arecord 22 million barrels. Ethanol production doesstill need to decline further based on the USDA’scorn use estimate given the pace so far. Blendingeconomics remain strong, and should put a floorunder production numbers. Ethanol futures endedthe week at a $1.02 discount to ReformulatedBlendstock for Oxygenate Blending gasoline.

OUTLOOK: The December contract has not shownthe strength of the nearby contracts during therecent rally. As noted earlier, the nearby contractclosed a new 2012 high this week, while the Decem-ber contract closed at $5.70, 20 cents off its highest2012 close set on the first trading day of the year.

The on-going tightness in old-crop and theprospect for 94 million to 95 million acres of new-

crop are the obvious reasons. Over the short tomedium term, the strength in the old-crop monthsand the still uncertain nature of new-crop acreageand production should allow for the December con-tract to work toward resistance at $5.81.

A close above that level opens the door for a test ofthe 2012 high of $5.97, also set on the first day of2012. Failure at the first resistance level would setup a test of support at $5.49. On the nearby contractchart, resistance is at $6.64, with support at $6.47.

SOYBEANS — The nearby soybean finished theweek with a string of 10 consecutive higher closes.

For the week, March beans were up 49.25 cents,and November beans were up 27.25 cents. Currentweather is not doing much further damage, but esti-mates of South American production continue to belowered. Some recent rains may have actuallyhelped the Argentine crop, but production estimatesare evaluating earlier damage.

Several groups from South America reduced theirestimates for Brazil and Paraguay this week. On Fri-day, Informa Economics reduced its estimate for Brazil-

ian production by 2 mmt to 68 mmt, and raised its esti-mate for Argentina by 1 mmt to 47.5 mmt. However,both estimates remain lower than the February USDAestimates of 72 mmt and 48 mmt, respectively.

Weekly export sales were somewhat weak at549,000 mt for old-crop, but new-crop sales addedanother 427,000 mt. Daily sales announcements onWednesday and Friday totaled 570,000 mt.

OUTLOOK: The rally since mid-December hasbeen quite orderly, with two corrections during Janu-ary and one in February.

Certainly the market is due for a correction after 10straight higher closes, but the 2012-13 balance sheetsdo support higher values if South American productionsinks another 5 mmt to 10 mmt from current USDAestimates. It looks like total world production for 2011-12 could drop about 20 mmt versus the previous year.Demand, and of course specifically Chinese demand, isunknown, but the prospect for record soybean exportsin 2012-13 from the United States is strong.

The nearby bean contract reached the highest levelsince September this week.The next major resistance isin the area of last summer’s strong resistance above $14.Support on a pullback would be expected at $12.75. ❖

TEALE, from pg. 15Afindings were as follows: on-feed, 102 percent; place-ments, 98 percent and marketed, 102 percent. Thereport was seen as slightly friendly because of themarketed number. Considering the ramifications ofthe report it will likely have little effect on the mar-ket, since it will depend more on the money flow intoor out of the futures in the weeks ahead. Producersshould approach the market with skepticism andprotect inventories when opportunity presents itself.

On the other hand, the hog market has quietly edgedhigher since the first of the year. Demand for pork hasincreased due in part to a good export market and anincreasing domestic demand. This increase in demandcould be the result of the high flying beef cutouts asconsumers look for better value in the meat arena.

Considering the slaughter rate over the past few

months coupled with the amount of pork in cold stor-age, this would back the idea that pork demand isgood. Slaughter of hogs is higher than a year ago,and at the same time we have seen only a minorincrease in the stocks of pork in storage.

Given this fact and that hog numbers are fairlystable, this should reflect on a fairly stable if not animproving outlook for hog prices. The hog markethas not seen the money flow into the futures as thecattle have experienced and therefore a much morebenign market and a market that is following moreclosely the underlying fundamentals.

If the beef prices move higher, look for pork prices tocontinue to firm as demand shifts away from beef intothe better value pork. Producers should continue tomonitor the hog market and protect inventories againstany adverse changes in the market conditions. ❖

NEHER, from pg. 15Acent in 2012 due to lower cotton prices relative to othercrops. Acreage for 2012 is projected at 13 million acres.Production however is projected to rise to 17 million bales.Prices are projected at 80 cents a pound for 2012-13.

Rice acreage is projected at 2.75 million acres, up 2percent from 2011. All of the gains will be in the long-grain rice Delta states. Rice is expected to have an aver-age price of $14.70 per hundredweight at the farm gate.

The USDA estimates assume average weather andthat most of the acreage idled by prevented-plantingclaims last spring will return to production.

Glauber ended his presentation addressing on-farmincome. He forecasts net cash income for 2012 to be at$96.3 billion, down 11.5 percent from 2011, but still the

second highest on record. He suggested that farm assetvalues are likely to increase 5 percent in the comingyear. Glauber said that land prices have appreciated by20 percent or more in different parts of the country,while farmers’ debt levels are set to rise 4 percent.

When I read all of these reports, I think that thesefolks are much smarter than I ever will become. It allmakes my head spin and I feel almost hopeless. Then Iremember the sage wisdom of my Grandpa. He wouldtell me, “Remember that high prices will take care ofhigh prices.” Followed by, “it is always a good idea to buyyour straw hats in January.” Then, “it generally doesn’twork to do this year, what I should have done last year.”

Frankly, I think those three Grain Angles tell me morethan the entire team of USDA economists put together.Or maybe I am just a country boy looking for an answer.❖

The U.S. Department ofAgriculture has announced aGeneral ConservationReserve Program sign-upfrom March 12 throughApril 6 at county Farm Ser-vice Agency offices through-out the country.

General CRP sign-upswere also held in 2011 when3.75 million acres wereaccepted into the CRP, andin 2010 when about 4.2million acres wereaccepted into the CRP.

In 2011, the CRP celebrated its 25thanniversary, and over two and a halfdecades of conservation success. TheCRP was originally established in the1985 farm bill, and today has over400,000 landowners participating, mostof who are farmers and ranchers, andcurrently has just under 29.7 millionacres under some type of CRP con-tracts.

The USDA has cited the CRP as thelargest and most important conserva-tion program in recent decades in thiscountry. The CRP continues to makemajor contributions to national effortsto improve water and air quality, pre-vent soil erosion, protect environmen-tally sensitive land and enhancewildlife populations. Some of the bene-fits of the CRP over the past two and ahalf decades cited by the USDAinclude:

• 450 million tons of soil erosionreduced annually.

• Each year, the CRP keeps morethan 600 million pounds of nitrogenand more than 100 million pounds ofphosphorus from flowing into rivers,streams and lakes in the UnitedStates.

• 2 million acres of wetlands andbuffers restored.

• 2 million acres of stream bank pro-tected along rivers and streams.

• Enhanced populations of ducks,pheasants, quail and other wildlifespecies.

• The CRP provides over $1.7 billionper year to private landowners, whichare dollars that help support local busi-nesses and the local economy.

• The CRP is the largest privatelands carbon sequestration program inthe United States. In 2010, the CRPresulted in carbon sequestration equalto taking almost 10 million cars off theroad.

• There are currently 43 Conserva-

tion Reserve EnhancementPrograms in 32 states intargeted watersheds, whichhas generated over $1 bil-lion in additional state andprivate funds for federalconservation efforts throughthe CRP.

The bids that are offeredinto the CRP for 2012 willbe evaluated, using the“environmental benefits

index.” The USDA plansto target the most envi-ronmentally sensitive

land with the 2012 CRPsign-up, in order to reduce soil erosion,protect water and air quality, and toenhance wildlife protection and carbonsequestration. There will continue to bespecial focus on buffer strips nearrivers and streams.

Following are the EBI factors used bythe FSA to evaluate the CRP contractoffers.

• Water quality benefits fromreduced erosion, runoff and leaching.

• Wildlife habitat benefits from landcovers on the CRP contract acreage.

• On-farm benefits from reduced soilerosion.

• Air quality benefits from reducedwind erosion.

• Benefits that will likely endurebeyond the CRP contract period.

• Cost per acre.Producers with existing CRP con-

tracts that are expiring in 2012 willhave no preferential status for keepingtheir land in the CRP this year, andmust re-submit a new CRP bid to be re-enrolled in the CRP. Land that is cur-rently not enrolled in CRP may also beoffered up for enrollment in the CRPfor 2012. The CRP contracts that areaccepted will become effective on Oct.1, with the first CRP payments in Sep-tember 2013.

The USDA continues to work withstate and local FSA offices to adjustannual rental rates for the CRP, basedon current local trends in land rentalrates. The CRP annual rental rates areavailable at county FSA offices. Thecurrent average CRP land rental in theUnited States is $57.29 per acre; how-ever, the CRP rental rates vary widelyfrom state-to-state. Most CRP annualland rental rates in southern Min-nesota and northern Iowa are consider-ably higher than the U.S. average rate.The USDA tries to keep the maximumCRP acreage in any given county at 25percent of the total tillable acres in

that county. However, the USDA doeshave the authority to exceed that limitto meet highly erodible land require-ments, and if there is deemed to be noadverse economic impacts from theadded CRP acreage in that county.

The USDA recently announced a sep-arate CRP enrollment in 2012 of750,000 acres that will target thenation’s most highly erodible crop land,which has a soil erodibility index of 20or greater. These acres will be offeredunder the continuous CRP, and will notbe part of the competitive EBI rankingprocess that will be utilized for the2012 General CRP sign-up. Soil surveyand geographical information systemdata will be used to determine eligibil-ity for this separate CRP enrollment.

As of Jan. 31, there was a total of justunder 29.7 million acres enrolled in theCRP, which is down from 31.1 millionacres on Sept. 30, 2009, and down 7.1million acres, from 36.8 million acres onSept. 30, 2007. Currently there are

approximately 24.4 million acres underGeneral CRP contracts, 4.0 millionacres under Continuous CRP contracts,and 1.3 million acres under CREP con-tracts. Sign-up for Continuous CRP ison-going, and will likely continue to beon-going under the new farm bill. Con-tinuous CRP targets the most sensitiveenvironmental land areas, such as fil-ter strips, buffers, wetlands, etc. TheCREP is a CRP partnership with stateconservation programs, which targetspecific watersheds.

In 2011, CRP contracts expired on 4.4million acres, but landowners offeredonly 3.75 million acres for enrollmentinto CRP during the General CRP sign-up period. Of that total, the USDAaccepted approximately 2.8 millionacres into the CRP, resulting in a netreduction of about 1.6 million acres.

PROGRAMS, from pg. 17Aalong with increasing cash rentalrates, probably discouraged somelandowners from re-enrolling somecrop land into the CRP in 2011. Con-tinued strong crop prices and furtherincreases in cash rental rates in 2012are likely to again affect the numberof expiring CRP acres that are offeredfor re-enrollment during the CRPsign-up period in 2012.

With over 6.5 million CRP acres setto expire in 2012, a CRP enrollmentsimilar to 2011 would reduce the totalCRP acreage to under 26 million acresby the end of 2012.

There is a lot of uncertainty regard-ing the level of acres that will beoffered or accepted for re-enrollmentinto the CRP during the 2012 sign-upperiod. Most experts feel that therewill not be enough acres offered in2012 to keep the CRP enrollment atthe current level of near 29.7 acresafter Sept. 30.

The current CRP acreage cap is 32million acres, which was set by the2008 farm bill, which was a reductionfrom the maximum CRP acreage in theUnited States of 39 million acres from2002-08. General CRP contracts areusually 10-year contracts that expireSept. 30 in a given year, while Continu-ous CRP contracts and CREP contractsare usually 10- to 15-year contracts.

Following are the expiring CRPacres on Sept. 30 each year for the

next four years.

• 2012: 6.5 million acres




About 75 percent of the CRPacres in the United States are in10 states, which are Texas,Kansas, Montana, NorthDakota, Colorado, Iowa, Min-nesota, Washington, Missouriand South Dakota. The percent-age of CRP acres expiring in2012 from these 10 states is sim-ilar, with North Dakota having 838,000expiring CRP acres, followed by Texaswith 828,000 acres. Minnesota has290,000 CRP acres expiring in 2012,while Iowa has 230,000 acres andSouth Dakota has 225,000 acres expir-ing. See the attached table for a listingin order of the top 10 CRP states, andthe number of CRP acres expiring onSept. 30 of this year and next.

For more information on the GeneralCRP sign-up, or the Continuous CRP,land owners should contact theircounty FSA office, or log on towww.fsa.usda.gov/crp.The future of CRP

The CRP is likely to be a key focalpoint during the development of thenext farm bill in the coming months.

In an era when the Congress and theadministration are looking to reducethe federal budget deficit, there will bepressure to reduce the current annualexpenditure of just under $2.0 billionon the CRP, including about $1.7 bil-lion on annual rental payments. Keep-ing CRP acres enrolled in future yearsin Midwestern states, where the aver-age land rental rates have increaseddramatically in recent years, will likelybe much more expensive for the USDA.

Others feel we need to reduce CRPacreage in the future due to the needfor expanded U.S. grain production tomeet the demand for world food needsand renewable energy production in

the United States. On the otherhand, the CRP remainsextremely popular with manyfarm, wildlife and environmen-tal organizations, as well aswith members of Congress. Mostexperts expect the maximumsize of the CRP to be reduced toaround 25 million acres in thenext farm bill, which would be areduction from the current max-imum level of 32 million acres.

The bottom-line is that theCRP has more than 25 years ofsuccess of protecting sensitiveenvironmental lands, reducingsoil erosion, improving waterquality and enhancing wildlife.The CRP is popular with farm-

ers, the general public and with policymakers, and the CRP will likely con-tinue to be a major USDA conservationprogram.

However, economic pressures, the needfor renewable energy and the worldwideneed for more food may lead to somechanges in the future for the CRP, ascompared to what the CRP has lookedlike in the past two and a half decades.

Cold weather in mid- to late-winterin means cattle are spending moretime in close proximity to each other.Any time producers bring cattletogether there’s an increased risk forlice to spread, said Purdue Extensionbeef specialist Ron Lemenager.

“Lice populations are fairly low in thesummer, but they tend to peak thistime of year,” he said. “Producers needto watch for obvious signs, such as rub-bing or scratching on objects, patches ofhair falling out, reddening of the skin oreven serum oozing from the hide.”

Cattle can take on a greasy appear-ance at a high level of infestation,Lemenager said.

The areas of the animal most com-monly affected are the brisket, dewlap,head, neck, shoulders, top line and tailhead. Producers need to keep an eye onthese areas of their animals for thepresence of lice or white, oblong eggs,also known as nits.

There are sucking and biting speciesof lice, and they can be treated with onetype of insecticide, said Ralph Williams,

Purdue Extension entomologist.“Pour-on treatments containing

pyrethroids will take care of both suck-ing and biting lice,” he said. “But, it’simportant to remember only to treat ifnecessary.”

Producers who find it necessary totreat their animals need to keep inmind that the entire herd will requiretreatment — not just those animalswith symptoms.

“An animal that is a carrier may havea low population and not show symp-toms, but when cattle are broughttogether during the winter, the licespread,” Lemenager said. “If you onlytreat those animals with symptoms,you might still have carriers that canrecontaminate the herd.”

Before treating, he said, producersneed to read the insecticide labels andif they have questions regardingproper treatment, consult with herdhealth providers.

The oxymoron of rush hour traffic isthat no one is going anywhere fast. Itwas in standstill rush hour traffic inLouisville that husband, Mike, soughtout a shortcut that took us under theinterstate bridge into a poverty-strickenpart of the city.

The houses were lined up like domi-noes with an arm length or less betweenthem. Broken windows were coveredwith cardboard. The streets were linedwith hopelessness. If the residents of thispart of town looked up from their sagging porches tothe interstate bridge above, they’d see cars worthmore than their homes and all they contained.“Probably not a place you want to walk alone atnight,” Mike said.

“Pretty sure I’d be nervous to walk here by myselfin daylight,” I said. “This makes my heart hurt.”

“Why?” Mike asked. “This place is a pit.”

“Not if you think about how many children callthis home,” I said.

Children. That’s Mike’s soft spot and the conversa-tion about poverty and how to be part of the solu-tion began.

In the Bible, the book of Proverbs has much to sayto the poor and about the poor. To those who chooselaziness instead of labor, God warns, A little sleep, alittle slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest —and poverty will come on you like a bandit andscarcity like an armed man (Proverbs 6:10-11). TheApostle Paul lived by the rule that he taught: Theone who is unwilling to work shall not eat (2 Thessa-lonians 3:10).

Farmers get that. The Midwest work ethic is aliveand well within farm families. There’s a great dealof pride and satisfaction in the sweat and toil thatgoes into a job well done. In rural communitiesthere’s rarely a vacant soapbox when the conversa-

tion links poverty to laziness.

If only it were that simple. The systemof poverty is multidimensional and lazi-ness is a single facet of the complex puz-zle. The book of Proverbs also acknowl-edges that being poor can stem frominjustice — Anunplowed field pro-duces food for thepoor, but injusticesweeps it away (13:23)— from oppression —

Whoever oppresses the poorshows contempt for their Maker,but whoever is kind to the needyhonors God (14:31) — or fromexploitation — Do not exploit the poor because theyare poor and do not crush the needy in court (22:22).

There’s a lot of finger pointing going on in theUnited States about the root of poverty. Some blamewelfare dependency and individual responsibility,others target inadequate education and employmentopportunities, and still others point to our financialand economic crisis.

Bryant L. Meyers who is quoted in the must-readbook, “When Helping Hurts: Alleviating Poverty With-out Hurting the Poor ... and Yourself,” points to severedrelationships. He says, “Poverty is the result of rela-tionships that do not work, that are not just, that arenot for life, that are not harmonious or enjoyable.Poverty is the absence of shalom in all its meanings.”

The root of the problem is not lack of education,lack of food, or lack of health care. The origin ofpoverty is broken relationships. At the heart ofpoverty is broken hearts.

As a child I learned the Chinese proverb, “Give aman a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a manto fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” I value thatwisdom yet today, but would add the needed elementof friendship to it. It’s in restoring relationships that

lives can be changed.

Brian Fikkert and Steve Corbett give this defini-tion to poverty alleviation: Poverty alleviation is theministry of reconciliation: moving people closer toglorifying God by living in right relationship withGod, with self, with others, and with the rest of cre-

ation.

Service projects, mission trips,humanitarian aid efforts anddonating to organizations like theSalvation Army, are some of thecountless, wonderful ways we canhelp the poor. But to alleviatepoverty it’s going to take morethan money or short-term trips to

third-world countries. True, sustainable poverty alle-viation happens one friendship at a time.

You don’t need a passport to befriend the poor.They’re here, in your rural area and mine. They’re inthe places where property values dropped, wherecrime increased and where children are growing upin circumstances they didn’t choose.

Will these friendships take us out of our comfortzones? In more ways than we can imagine. Will it beeasy? Not a chance. Will we be misunderstood andmisunderstand? Most likely. It’s been said that noth-ing really worthwhile ever comes easy. For the sakeof children we must eliminate our excuses, forgethrough obstacles and make every effort to do theworthwhile work of building relationships.

Here are our marching orders: Speak up for thosewho cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of allwho are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defendthe rights of the poor and needy (Proverbs 31:8-9).That’s the soapbox that will change this country, onefriendship at a time.

You spent a lot of time inyour old back yard.

For most of the kidsgrowing up in your neigh-borhood, it was where yougathered to do whatevereverybody agreed to dothat afternoon. You formedsecret clubs, shared comicbooks and fought amongyourselves, pretended to bespies, or played Cowboysand Indians. Good times,those.

But in reality, according to Ojibweauthor David Treuer, “most people willgo a lifetime without knowing anIndian or spending any time on anIndian reservation.” In his new book“Rez Life,” he writes about his child-hood, his people and his reservation.

No doubt about it, white America hashad an interesting relationship with itsnative brethren over the last 350 years.Any school child with a history bookcan recite a litany of wars, defeats,cheats and tales of Indians being set-tled on reservations.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs doesn’tkeep track of how many Indian reser-vations there are in the United States,

but Treuer says there are around 300of them in more than 30 states. Not allof the 564 federally-recognized tribeshave reservations; of those that do,reservations vary in size. Some appearlike checkerboards, due to several con-voluted laws, while others are wide-open prairies.

Until recently, the one thing most ofthem had in common was poverty.

Treuer’s mother remembers a rela-tively recent time when many homeson her northern Minnesota reservationconsisted of tar-paper and studs andfew had working toilets. The averagehousehold income on Treuer’s reserva-tion today is some $31,000 less than itis for the rest of America.

“On some reservations in the Dako-tas,” Treuer writes, “the median incomehovers just above $10,000… Life ishard for many on the rez.”

And it’s only slowly getting better.Indians are now U.S. citizens (which

didn’t happen until 1924). Drugs, alco-hol and crime are major problems onthe rez, but many reservations havepolice forces, as well as tribal courts.Casino money brings paved roads andit pays for legal teams to recover treatyrights (of which, Treuer says, “mostIndians didn’t know about ... for thefirst half of the 20th century”). AndIndian children are no longer routinelyremoved from their homes just becausethey’re Indians.

There are, I think, two different audi-ences for this book: Indians, for whom“Rez Life” will be validation of thetruth; and white readers, for whom thisbook will be an eye-opener.

Treuer plays with the emotions of the

latter audience. He shocks us, hemakes us laugh, then he lulls us withpoetry before he wallops us with his-tory. I loved that range in writing. Ialso loved this book for its harshbeauty, its honesty and for Treuer’sincredible talent at telling stories thatmean something.

For rez residents, there’s not much newhere, but I think this is an invaluablebook for anyone who’s curious or wholives near a reservation. For you, “RezLife” explains a lot about the people andculture right in your own back yard.

THE BOOKWORM SEZ

By Terri Schlichenmeyer

By SARAH JOHNSONThe Land Correspondent

“Country people” live all over the world, from theGreat Plains of North America to the steppes ofRussia, from South American cattle ranches toAfrican savannas. They all share the tradition ofgrowing and eating plants and animals that areadapted to local conditions. Each ethnic cuisinetakes the greatest advantage of whatever grain,bird, root, fish, berry or herbivore is at hand.

Of course, where once we all ate “locally” because wehad to, our modern food transportation systems makeit infinitely easier to eat a much broader spectrum offoodstuffs. That doesn’t matter to a lot of “countryfolks,” who merrily continue to eat what their ancestorshave been eating for generations, even millennia.

In France, food that has simple ingredients, per-fectly cooked and in season, using fresh herbs andancient recipes, is the ideal. Many of the fancy-schmancy classic French dishes are just hopped-upversions of down-home country cooking. Frenchcafes and bistros serve up this savory, hearty fare tothe general applause of a grateful nation. “TheFrench Country Table: Simple Recipes for BistroClassics” by Laura Washburn (Ryland Peters &Small, 2010) brings these meals to our Americancountry kitchens.

French onion soup is the dish that mademe love onions. The rich broth and silkenonions, the crusty crouton and gooeycheese … one bowl is a satisfying meal.It’s easy to make, too. There are manyvariations, but this one is straight fromthe country of origin.French Onion Soup

3 tablespoons unsalted butter1 tablespoon olive oil3 large onions (about 3 pounds), thinly

sliced2 garlic cloves, crushed1 tablespoon all-purpose flour1 quart beef, chicken or vegetable stock2 1/4 cups dry white wine1 fresh bay leaf2 sprigs of thyme1 baguette, sliced1 1/2 cups freshly grated Gruyere cheeseCoarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepperPut the butter and oil in a large saucepan and melt

over medium heat. Add the onions and cook over lowheat for 15 to 20 minutes, until soft. Add the garlicand flour and cook, stirring for about 1 minute. Addthe stock, wine, bay leaf and thyme. Season with saltand pepper and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute,then lower the heat and simmer gently for 20 min-

utes. Taste and adjust the seasoning. At this point,the soup will be cooked, but standing time willimprove the flavor — at least 30 minutes.

Before serving, preheat the broiler. Put thebaguette slices on a baking sheet and brown underthe broiler until lightly toasted. Set aside. Do notturn the broiler off.

To serve, ladle the soup into ovenproof bowls andtop with a few toasted baguette rounds. Sprinklegrated cheese over the top and cook under the still-hot broiler until browned and bubbling. Serve imme-diately. Serves 4-6.

COOKBOOK, from pg. 22A■

Take one pork roast, marinate in wine and herbs, thenroast until it crackles. So simple, yet so over-the-top deli-cious. Huge benefit: This makes lots of leftovers.Marinated Pork Roast

1 boneless pork loin roast, about 3 pounds1 large onion, sliced2 carrots, sliced1 celery rib, with leavesMarinade750-milliliter bottle dry white wine3 tablespoons white wine vinegar2 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced1 fresh bay leaf2-3 fresh sage leavesA sprig of thyme2 tablespoons coarse sea salt1 tablespoon sugar1 teaspoon black peppercornsTwo days before serving, mix all the ingredients for

the marinade together in a large, non-reactive bowl.Add the pork and vegetables, cover, and refrigeratefor two days, turning the pork regularly.

When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 400 F.Remove the pork from the marinade and put it in alarge roasting pan. Add the vegetables and flavoringsfrom the marinade. Cook in the preheated oven for 11/2 hours, basting occasionally with the marinating liq-uid. Serve in slices with the side dish of your choice.

Fresh green beans are a snap to prepare and diffi-cult to screw up. For these reasons, my family eats alot of them. With some beautiful beans and herbsfrom our local supermarket — yes, in the middle ofwinter. — my family devoured these beauties: Fourout of four “yums.” French Beans with Garlic can be

served hot or at room temperature. Try replacing thegreen beans with long, thin slices of steamed zucchinifor a change of pace.French Beans with Garlic

1 1/2 pounds fine green beans, trimmed2 tablespoons olive oil1 tablespoon unsalted butter2 garlic cloves, crushedA handful of flat-leaf parsley, chopped1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juiceSea salt and freshly ground black pepperBring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the

beans and cook for 3-4 minutes from the time thewater returns to a boil. Drain and refresh under coldrunning water. Set aside.

Heat the oil and butter in a sauté pan. Add the garlic,beans and salt, and cook on high for 1 minute, stirring.Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley and lemonjuice. Sprinkle with pepper and serve. Serves 4.

■

For a dessert lighter than chocolate or carrot cake(but more substantial than angel food), bake anorange-infused Yogurt Cake. The yogurt adds decadentmoisture, and the fresh-squeezed orange juice smellsheavenly and adds a citric sweetness. In a few monthswe could garnish this with fresh Minnesota berries.Yogurt Cake

1/2 cup plain yogurt1 cup sugar1 1/2 cups flour

2 eggs1 tablespoon safflower oil1 teaspoon baking sodaA pinch of saltFreshly squeezed juice of 1 orange1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar, to decoratePreheat the oven to 350 F. Empty the yogurt into

a large bowl; add the sugar, flour, eggs, oil, bakingsoda, salt and half the orange juice. Stir well.

Pour into a prepared cake pan (deep-sided, 9inches in diameter, greased) and bake in the pre-heated oven for 15-20 minutes, until a knifeinserted in the middle comes out clean. Removefrom the oven and pierce a few holes in the top witha fork. Pour over the remaining orange juice. Letcool slightly, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool.

To decorate, put the confectioners’ sugar into astrainer and hold it over the cake. Tap the edge ofthe strainer to release the sugar, moving around thesurface to coat. A light dusting is sufficient. Serve atroom temperature. Serves 8.

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

Not of this worldOne hundred and thirty-years

after the Estherville mete-orite crashed into farm fields nearthis northwest Iowa town, a pieceof the meteorite returned home.

That was in 2009.“We bought a piece of it from an

auction house in Scotland,” saidRenee Stowell, of the EsthervilleChamber of Commerce. “It’s fairlylarge. People can view it in theChamber office.”

The Estherville Chamber paid$11,000 for their piece of themeteorite. Rocks from heavenhave always been valuable. Onereason for that is that many ofthem have previously unknownminerals in them. The Esthervillemeteorite is made up of iron,nickel, phosphorus and sulfur.These are all common minerals.

But, if you visit the lower levelof the Estherville public library,you’ll see the sparkle ofEsthervillite. Under glass, andframed by wood, glitters a crosssection of a piece of the meteorite.Some of that silvery mineralimbedded in that rough-edgedcoal black rock is Esthervillite. Ithad never been seen by sciencebefore it came flaming to groundon May 10, 1879.

Esthervillite is not of thisEarth. Where did that mysterymineral come from? How longhas it been separated from its

mother asteroid before it enteredthe earth’s atmosphere, brokeinto three large boulder sizedpieces, and hit the earth with athump heard for miles around?Where is the mother asteroid?What else is on it that isunknown to us?

Estherville was lucky to get apiece of its meteorite back. Almostas soon as the rocks hit the ground,the scramble to market thisstrange manna began. The mete-orite broke into thousands of tinypieces and three large pieces of431, 151 and 106 pounds. AnEstherville lawyer gained posses-sion of the largest piece and sold itto the British Museum for a grandsum. The British in turn sold partsof it to French and Austrian muse-ums. Other parts of the meteoriteended up in museums across theUnited States, including a museumat the University of Minnesota.None remained in Estherville.

Then, in 1939 the U of Mloaned Estherville the slice that’sin the library.

In 1980, since Estherville didnot own its own piece of themeteorite, the Area Arts Councilcommissioned a sculpture. Theresulting sculpture, by TomGibbs of Dubuque, Iowa, showsthe meteorite fracturing intothose three pieces. The sculptureis in Library Square. ❖

His business card with usual name,e-mail address and phone numberalso has two questions: “What’s itworth?” and “Where can I find it?”

Machinery Pete, widely known toanyone buying or selling machinery,is otherwise known as Greg Peterson.

He graduated with an accountingdegree from Gustavus Adolphus Col-

lege in St. Peter, Minn., in 1988.His first job out of college was in

accounting. However his Dad, JerryPeterson, was a third generation farmimplement dealer at Benson, Minn., soGreg simply says, “I grew up aroundfarm machinery. But when I graduatedfrom Gustavus it didn’t feel right to gohome and join my Dad. Plus the ’80swere tough going for both farmers andimplement dealers.

“My wife, Jackie, also a Gustie grad-

uate, was a Rochester(Minn.) native andgot a teaching job inRochester. So wemoved to Rochesterin the fall of 1989. Ihad a two-monthwindow looking foran accounting job. Itwas during this win-dow that I talkedwith my dad and thisopportunity of aniche business com-piling auction pricescame into being.”

Peterson said itwas a banker in Mor-ris, Minn., whoalready had createdthe business of auc-tion pricing. “John,my banker friend atMorris, got a promotion and no longerhad time to handle his little sidelinebusiness of collecting auction prices.But my father used his auction pricebook; in fact literally wore the cover offit because my Dad always wanted to

know what the equipment was worthsitting on his own implement yard.

“John was ready to sell his business.My Dad with 34 years in the equip-ment business was telling me that this

Submitted

Greg Peterson, aka Machinery Pete, has been keeping aneye on the used farm machinery market for the past 22years.

PETE, from pg. 6Binformation is very helpful. So I listened tomy father and that was the start of compil-ing auction prices.”

For the first five years Peterson had twopart-time jobs to make this thing swing,but since 1995 this has been a full-time joband then some.

Business has been good for Machinery Pete. Hisstaff includes three people but he still keeps hisfinger on much of the auction pricing regardlessthe time frame. Like at 11 p.m., midnight or later he maybe scanning Facebook and drop in with a note “I just sawthis John Deere 4020 sell for such and such. So quiteoften at midnight I’m doing some Facebook correspon-ding. It’s been part of my life for 22 years now. The fun Ihave is interacting with people.”

So is “retail auction” still the better way to sellused equipment versus private treaty? He talksabout the changing scenario of farm auctions today.“It’s much like the celebration of a life. Quite oftenwe see tears at a farm auction, but tears of joy. Agood auctioneer can give that ‘forward lean’ to a sale;in essence he/she knows how to coax those extra dol-lars out of a given piece of equipment.

“There aren’t as many auctions these days. So knowwhen a sale does show up with really good qualityequipment you get more people attending and ready togo. Then the ‘auction dynamic’ kicks in and we push tothese high prices, currently often record highs over anyprevious sale for a particular piece of equipment.”

Quality equipment that has been prepped for thesale is the real determiner of value. He thinks farm-ers are in fact taking much better care of their equip-

ment, partly because it costs so much but alsobecause most farmers now have quality shops andsheds for the maintenance and storage of theirmachinery.

“The thing about a farmer selling his own equip-ment on his own farm is that you don’t have thedynamic of suddenly three or only two bidders at theend willing to be the last bidder,” Peterson said.

Online and internet action is making a huge dentin the auction business.

The price gap between traditional auctions and onlineauctions is narrowing considerably, Peterson said. “Asthese websites become more savvy and work in morevideo and pictures, they’re becoming a real growingmarketplace in the machinery world. Buyer’s premiumdepends upon each online auction firm with lots of dif-ferences from one to the next. Consistency is the keywith these firms developing online auctions.

“But I’m also seeing traditional auctions now bring-ing in online bidding so besides your local bidders youmight have bids from several different states. That’sbringing a new level of sophistication and competitivebidding into the auction world,” he said.

Relating to the growing world of collector machin-ery items he sees a new segment of people, oftenolder farmers and retired farmers wanting to addthat special 40-year-old tractor that was a primepower when they were active, but smaller farmers.“Powerful memories with a guy with a hunk of dis-posable income is where the premium money isbeing paid for these tractors.”

You would think the auction business was mostlyseasonal, mostly because of weather and the “farmingtime” of farmers.That used to be the routine with littleauction time during the St. Patrick’s Day to early fallperiod, then pick up until the end of the year and intoMarch. But today auctions are a year-round eventwith timing sometime a factor. “We’re seeing more nicefarm auctions close to the start of planting, especiallyif it’s good equipment. Also quite a few auction compa-nies now have their own indoor facility so year-roundauctions can work, regardless the challenges of theweather,” said Peterson, now 46 years old.

Because he loves what he’s doing he ventured thathopefully 30 years from now he’d still be quotingfarm equipment prices.

He wants as much total information to validatevalues. Like even pricing a set of 18.4-38 dualspriced at $1,200 he wants to know if its 60-percenttread or 80-percent tread. “As best we can, we wantto place the buyer at the auction and that means allthe detailed information we can give a potentialbuyer. And that’s really the fun of my work. We’reconstantly digging for info.”

Peterson can be contacted at (800) 381-0423,[email protected] or log on to MachineryPete.com. ❖

— Greg Peterson

Transitioning to organic farming can present financialuncertainty for farmers, but a special program is avail-able in Minnesota to help them accomplish their goals.

The “Tools for Transition” program, led by the Uni-versity of Minnesota, Minnesota Department of Agri-culture and other partners, provides scholarships cov-ering up to 90 percent of farm business managementtuition to qualifying farmers.

Now in its second year, Tools for Transition is aimedat helping farmers better understand the cost andprocess of transitioning to organic. Minnesota fieldcrop or dairy farmers who have any acres in transi-tion or who have been certified fewer than threeyears are eligible to apply, and the program’s leadersare eager to enroll more farmers this year.

Program participants get the chance to participatein special workshops and to receive a discount toattend the annual Minnesota Organic Conference.

To learn more about the scholarships, call adminis-trator Meg Moynihan at (651) 201-6616. ❖
