Meet Colleen Van Berkum (above) and others as they take visitors back in time at Sioux Center, Iowa’s, Harvest Festival ~ Story on Page 28A

October is set aside each year to promoteand honor that wonderful meat productfrom hogs — pork.

Pork, the meat formerly known as theOther White Meat, is now prompting con-sumers to “Be Inspired” with the flexibilityof cooking with chops, bacon, loins, ham —whatever porcine cut suits your fancy. Justgrab some meat and get creative in thekitchen.

If you need a little kick-start, just turn to9A for some recipes from theNational Pork Board. Try these and thenbranch out on your own, and remember,we here at The Land are always open tosampling.

Obviously pork wouldn’t get to the consumers’tables if it weren’t for the hogs. And the hogs would-n’t make it to market in good shape without the hardwork and care of the many men and women workingin the hog barns and lots.

Minnesota and Iowaboast some of the bestoperations at produc-ing hogs, not only inthe United States, butthe entire world. Notonly are they the bestat what they do, butthey also kick out alot of pork.

Iowa hog farms had19 million hogs andpigs on hand Dec. 1, 2010, while Gopher State hogproducers had an inventory of 7.7 million hogs andpigs on the same date.

Thus, every October we also honor those men andwomen who toil to provide the meat to inspire cooksaround the globe.

In this issue, we offer some stories to help produc-ers along their way. Are you looking for hogs that areless aggressive? Then you will want to turn to Page24A to see research behind hogs that are raised in

group farrowing situations.Watching input costs is important in

any farming operation, and when youdeal with livestock, feed costs are thelargest input. With corn and soybeanprices remaining strong, livestock pro-ducers have been looking at other feed-stuffs.

One feedstuff getting a lot of interest isdried distillers grains with solubles, abyproduct of ethanol plants.

Turn to Pages 2B and 4B for insight asto how this byproduct fits into swine

rations and your operation.If harvest is at a lull, and you want to

learn more about yourself and your oper-ation, and ways to improve both, turn to Page 24A tosee why you should venture to Mankato, Minn., onOct. 18.

“Swine Farms: A Great Place to Work” is the title ofthis year’s WorkforceDevelopment Semi-nar sponsored by theMinnesota PorkBoard. In addition toinformative presenta-tions, producers canalso gather informa-tion at the TrainingTool Shed. Educa-tional materials onswine managementand production,

worker safety, employee training, biosecurity andmore will be available throughout the day.

All of this information is designed to help you be abetter producer, to produce a better-quality productto help consumers be pork-inspired in the kitchen.

And remember, we welcome samples.•••

LAND MINDS

By Kevin Schulz

Minnesota and Iowa boast some of thebest operations at producing hogs, notonly in the United States, but the entireworld. Not only are they the best at whatthey do, but they also kick out a lot ofpork.

The usual six-mile drivehome from Sunday churchtook a pleasant turn someweeks ago. As I headedback to the farmette formore coffee and more news-papers, my mind went a dif-ferent way and, without oneturn of any wheel, I was onmy way to the southern Illi-nois dairy farm of myyouth.

Back then most Sundaydrives home from churchfeatured three elements:a well-scrubbed Ford sta-tion wagon with at leastfive kids and no seatbelts in its backseat; the car radio relaying the tape-recorded highlights of the St. LouisCardinals’ past week and the pene-trating smell of my father’s slow-burn-ing Camel cigarette.

If it was summer, all the windows ofthe big-fendered boat would be downso we could enjoy what was sure to bethe closest thing to air conditioningwe’d feel all week.

Winter delivered the opposite: win-dows tightly closed so the rolling ovenwould (we vainly hoped) roast us well-done so we’d remain warm for sevendays.

And spring, summer, fall or winterwe boys — Rich, David, me and Perry— sat like straight-backed little sin-ners all in a row, felt hats atop no-smile faces made stiff by starched col-lars, narrow ties and real fear of anangry God.

Or so it seemed. Back then the pre-war Lutherans — pre-World War I,that is — were long on Law and shorton Love. When a young ministerarrived in the mid-1960s and began toteach the New Testament as much asthe Old, mild grumbles about too-littleLaw and too-much Gospel filteredthrough after-service visits in thechurchyard.

My parents, to their eternal credit,never passed on the gripes. Theyfound little fault in their new shep-herd’s preaching and no fault whatso-ever in his perfect, dairy-county name:Pastor Holstein.

True; I couldn’t make that up.Nobody could make that up.

In the 100 or so drives to and fromchurch each year, the after-churchdrives during the fall were best.

In almost half of those1960s Septembers andOctobers, the Cardinalswere either fighting for apennant or a World Seriesring. That made the Sundayradio replays like a victorylap; we knew how theyended so we’d cheer beforeJack Buck or Harry Careyjoyously announced a BobGibson strikeout or LouBrock stolen base.

Wow, we loved thoseteams. Still do.

A curious little irony ofthe drive home, however,

was that we Lutherans spent most ofit on St. Leo’s Road, a meanderingblacktop named after a middle-of-nowhere Catholic church that com-manded the high bluffs overlookingour farm.

St. Leo’s, its rectory, social hall,empty one-room school and buryingground seemed both misplaced andperfectly placed. Misplaced becausefew farms and fewer people werenearby; well-placed because from theshade of its broad maples you couldsee the confluence of the KaskaskiaRiver with the Mississippi miles away.

A second lovely irony each week wasthat on our way to church we usuallychugged through this little outpost ofRome just as the Papists were lettingout. That meant we had to toss a weakwave or smile at our oh-so-heathenneighbors while my father wouldsmile and acknowledge the men folk— “Hey, Gary” — through his openwindow.

We’d slowly putter through, thenhead for the Lutheran bastion fartherup the road and, hopefully way, wayup the road, heaven. Three hourslater, heaven and hell were left behindand 18 or so miles to home beckoned.

Recently, it beckoned again. Maybeit was the crackling blue sky that finemorning or maybe it was the smell ofharvest, thin and drought-starvedthough it is this fall.

Or maybe it was just a graying farm-boy, having just heard the Word, look-ing homeward.

FARM & FOOD FILE

By Alan Guebert

As a shy child scared of cows grazingin my own yard, no one would haveguessed the path I would take in life.That is because the friends, familytime and lessons I learned in 4-Hshaped me into the person I am today.

My grandpa instilled a love of agricul-ture in me at a young age. Following himaround the barn helping with dailychores, I learned early on what it meantto be dedicated to something — tofind something that you are pas-sionate about and succeed at doingit. I found what I wanted to be pas-sionate about through University ofMinnesota Extension’s 4-H pro-gram.

I joined my cousins in 4-H whenI was in first grade. As I grew, 4-Hvolunteers and projects helped mefind my nicheand focus onmy strengths.I developed alove of leader-ship, planningand, oddlyenough, publicspeaking, allwhile becom-ing more con-fident.

My favorite 4-H projects involvedlivestock. While caring for my ani-mals, I learned dedication, hard work,responsibility and determination. Ialso learned about financial manage-ment, how to deal with situationswhen things don’t go as planned andhow to deal with life and death —important lessons that can’t belearned in a classroom.

I studied veterinary medicine at theUniversity of Minnesota, which I hadbeen introduced to through 4-H. Look-ing for ways to stay involved in 4-H, Ijoined the livestock judging team and

took an internship coordinating 4-Hlivestock shows at the MinnesotaState Fair. Through these experi-ences, I discovered new ways to beinvolved in the agriculture industry,and decided to explore agriculturalbusiness.

Following graduation, I was hiredby AgStar Financial

Services, a proudsupporter of the 4-

H program. Theskills learnedthrough 4-H

helped me build astrong resumeand earn a jobwith a company

that is a strongadvocate for 4-H

and agriculture. Irealized my life experi-

ences were coming full circlewhen I decided to volunteer for4-H to help give today’s youththe same opportunities I had.

Oct. 2-8 is National 4-H Week.4-H youth, volunteers and othersupporters throughout Min-nesota will be celebrating how4-H is making a difference intheir lives and communities.

If you aren’t familiar with 4-H inyour area, I encourage you to find outabout it. Start by logging on towww.extension.umn.edu/youth/mn4-H.You’ll discover a youth developmentprogram that offers learning opportu-nities in science and technology, cre-ative arts, leadership and much more.

“Organic” has long been one of thosebuzzwords floating around health-and food-conscious communities. Mostgrocery stores devote at least an aisle— if not several — to organic foods.Restaurants and bakeries are evenmaking a point to use chemical-freeingredients.

The U.S. Department of Agriculturesets the rules and certifies whether afarm or facility is officially producing organicfoods — and the rules are specific.

According to a statement on the USDA website,“organic is a labeling term that indicates that thefood or other agricultural product has been pro-duced through approved methods that integratecultural, biological and mechanical practices thatfoster cycling of resources, promote ecological bal-ance and conserve biodiversity. Synthetic fertiliz-ers, sewage sludge, irradiation and genetic engi-neering may not be used.”

There’s a natural assumption that organicmeans healthy, and why not? Pesticides, hormonesand antibiotics just don’t seem like the sort ofthings one wants to pump into their body, if notnecessary.

The fact is, though, not a lot of studies actuallyconfirm that people who eat organic food are morehealthy than those who don’t.

Naheed Ali-Sayeed, chief clinical dietitian atKenmore Mercy Hospital in Tonawanda, N.Y., said

the articles she’s read are not scientific based.Ali-Sayeed points out that in the end, eating

more fruits and vegetables, regardless of whetherthey’re organic, is what’s really important.

“I think it’s just the perception that it’s better. Itmay be, but all people cannot afford to buy every-thing organic. We still want you to eat a well-bal-anced diet and if it’s not organic it can still benutritious for you to consume,” she said.

Catherine Stack, a doctor of naturopathy andcertified nurse midwife in Niagara Falls, N.Y.,agrees. “Organic is important to me, but gettingpeople to eat healthy in the first place is the firststep.”

Stack does say, however, that eating organicallyis the healthier option.

“If we took hormones in abundance, we’d havelarger breasts and more body fat. What we’ve seenacross the board is young girls with benign breasttumors and we feel that there’s a link between thehormones in milk, poultry and beef,” Stack said.

The USDA stopped just short of say-ing organic is better for the human bodyin a recent interview. Soo Kim, of theUSDA, says that organic practices areimportant for the health of soil, plantsand animals and that it promotes sus-tainability, but agrees that currentindustry research is limited or ambigu-

ous based on what products are being com-pared in studies on human health.

“If you’re talking about whether organicallygrown foods contain more or better nutrients,research is not conclusive,” Kim said.

For those looking to replace just a few items inthe kitchen with the organic equivalent, the Envi-ronmental Working Group — an organization dedi-cated to protecting public health through dissemi-nating information — provides a list of the “DirtyDozen” fruits and vegetables to avoid because oftypically higher levels of pesticides.

Apples, celery and strawberries top the list, fol-lowed by peaches, spinach, nectarines, grapes,sweet bell peppers, potatoes, blueberries, lettuceand kale/collard greens.

On the other end of the spectrum is the “CleanFifteen:” onions, sweet corn, pineapples, avocado,asparagus, sweet peas, mangoes, eggplant, can-taloupe, kiwi, cabbage, watermelon, sweet pota-toes, grapefruit and mushrooms. These items aretypically grown with fewer contaminants.

— Soo KimOPINION

To the Editor:In response to comments concerning township

governments in the Sept. 23 issue (Ed. note: Readthem online at http://bit.ly/theland2011-0923/7 —“Letter: Most township boards more advanced”) it isunfortunate a township officer would be appalled atanother township doing things their own way.

For a township officer to think local governmentneeds the state to do its bookwork, etc., is ridicu-lous. In a way, her letter describes how the govern-ments of this state and nation are in the financialmess which we are in. It is unfortunate that peoplethink state government is the answer.

To me, it is quite rewarding to attend the meet-ings (as a citizen) and observe township business inits entirety, without relying on “Big Brother.” Ifneeded, I will purchase a box of inkpens and donateto the township.Roger DukowitzBrowerville, Minn.

Letter: State aidnot necessary fortownship business

By DON McNAYCNHI News Service

I’ve spent my adult life advising peopleabout their money. I’m knowledgeable about trustsand estate planning and have strong working rela-tionships with experts in both fields.

I should be the last person to be involved in anestate-planning nightmare. But I was when mymother and sister died.

Mom died unexpectedly in 2006. She never had awill, and no one worried about it. Her only asset wasour childhood home, and my sister and I were heronly children. We would split the ownership of thehouse equally.

Things got a lot more complicated after Mom’sdeath.

My sister was living in the house when Mom died.My sister was coming off a period of unemploymentas a single mother. She didn’t even have a bankaccount. My sister and I worked out a deal on how todivide mom’s assets.

We never wrote anything down, but we trustedeach other, and it seemed like a good plan. And it was— until my sister died six months after mom did.She did not have a will, either.

I knew she had a minor daughter and an adult son.What I didn’t know was that she still had a husband.

She had been married for several years, and heryounger child was his. However, she had told us shehad divorced several years earlier. They didn’t livetogether. She had lived in California and he hadlived in Cincinnati.

Her ex came to her funeral, which I had arrangedand paid for, but we didn’t really talk.

Two days later, he had a lawyer file papers askingthat he be named the estate administrator.

It turned out my sister and her husband never

filed for divorce. Thus, he was entitledto half of my sister’s estate.Since Mom’s estate had not settled, it

also meant that her estranged husband and hislawyer suddenly became involved in decisionsregarding my mother’s estate. Also, my niece was aminor, and a guardian ad litem had to be appointedto protect her interest. The guardian ad litem alsohad to sign off on decisions about Mom’s estate.

It was a tedious and expensive mess.The only solution was to put my childhood home on

the market. I advanced a chunk of money to get itfixed for sale. Since the real estate market was drop-ping, the house was slow to sell, and every time wewanted to change the price, it had to go through theround of lawyers and interested parties.

It caused a riff in the family over little money. Bythe time the lawyers and expenses were paid, myshare of my mother’s estate was a small sum and mysister’s estate received the same. I ate some expendi-tures and lost money on the overall process.

The person who got the most money from mymother’s estate was my former brother-in-law. Mysister’s estate received half of Mom’s money, and hereceived half of my sister’s estate.

My mother doted on her grandchildren, especiallymy sister’s children, who had lived with her for partof their childhoods. She would not have wanted mybrother-in-law to get money instead of her grandchil-dren. Preventing that from happening would havebeen easy and inexpensive.

My family’s series of events was unusual, butunusual things happen every day.

Involving a lawyer would have solved most of theproblems. If my sister and my mother had had sim-ple wills, the money would have gone to the rightpeople. If my sister had actually gotten divorcedinstead of working out an informal agreement, it

would have prevented our post-funeral surprise.I suspect people don’t have wills because they

don’t want to think about death. According to a sur-vey by Findlaw.com, a popular legal website, morethan 60 percent of Americans don’t have wills.

People may think that wills and attorneys areexpensive. In the overall scheme of things, theyreally aren’t. I gladly would have paid 10 times theaverage cost for my mother and sister to have hadwills. And everyone (except for my brother-in-lawand the attorneys) would have come out way ahead.

In June 2010, the U.S. government provided somesimple clarifications to the law that governs the rela-tionship between livestock producers and the meat-packers and processors who buy their animals. TheGrain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Adminis-tration rule would help to ensure fairness for individ-ual producers and restore competition to agriculturalmarkets.

It protects the basic rights of family farmers. Therule prevents packers and processors from drivingfarmers and ranchers out of business one at a time,and it protects producers who speak out againstunfair business practices. Farmers, ranchers andconsumers overwhelmingly support the rule, as dothe two largest general farm organizations in thecountry (National Farmers Union being one ofthem).

What does this mean to you, the consumer? One

recent example is the salmonella outbreak in eggsthat occurred in 2010. Those eggs were marketedunder at least 16 different brands that all originatedfrom two factory farms owned by the same individ-ual. If packers and processors successfully kill theGIPSA rule, you can look forward to more productionbeing concentrated in the hands of a few mega-farmsand the increased possibility that you may somedaybe eating tainted food from the same farm as school-children in California or a family in Maine.

I leave it to you to decide who to believe: the largestmeatpackers in the country, who made billions inprofits last year, or two million American familyfarmers and ranchers?

They said you were worth-less. You’d never amount toanything.

No good. Not worth thetime.

Just like that, you werewritten off, completely andirrevocably dismissed.

Discouraging? Yes, butscenes like this tend to fanthe spark of defiance insideeach of us, compelling us toboldly prove the naysayerswrong, thus ultimately creating fist-shakingly strong human beings.

As you’ll see in the new book “TheEighty-Dollar Champion” by ElizabethLetts, such discouraging words alsowork for horses.

By the time he left Holland, boundfor America, Harry de Leyer had seenplenty.

As the eldest of his parents’ dozenchildren, he’d braved the Nazis andrisked his life for family and neigh-bors. He’d met hardship. So when heemmigrated to America with his wife,a trunkful of possessions and $160, hewas eager for opportunity. And hefound it: by the mid-1950s, the de Ley-

ers had succeeded enough to buy asmall farm on Long Island.

A horseman at birth, Harry was theriding instructor at a posh girls’ schoolnear his home when, in early 1956 andlate to a horse sale, he spotted a raggedgray gelding on its way to slaughter.He was always looking for gentlesteeds for his students. Something inthe animal’s demeanor made Harrypull out his bankroll.

Cleaned up, the horse was ratherpretty; “fleabitten,” as horsemen wouldsay. He’d seen the harness of a plow,but he was friendly, easy-going andsteady, a willing pupil. Snowman, asHarry’s children named him, would beperfect for Harry’s students. The ani-mal’s $80 cost was money well-spent.

At the end of theschool year, withno room at hisown stable,Harry soldSnowman to anearby doctor,but Snowmanhad otherideas. Like afaithfulmutt, thehorse kept return-ing to Harry’s barn, leap-ing several fences to get there.

Then one day, in Harry’s mind, every-thing clicked: this horse was a jumper!With a little work, he might be able towin a few competitions. With training,Snowman might, in some small way,fulfill one of Harry’s dreams.

Letts says that in the late-1950s,when Snowman rocked the horse worldand word spread like wildfire, peopleneeded a hero. Even now, we love anunderdog story. But “The Eighty DollarChampion” jumps well over that.

It’s difficult, if not impossible, toavoid wanting to cheer while reading

this book. Though we can surmise byits cover what happens, Letts lends a

definite edge-of-your-seat feeling tothe story of de Leyer and his

unlikely dream-maker,and she does it

by pullingreadersback to mid-

last-century:the times, the

newsmakers,fashions and

myriad reasonswhy the nation

held its breath asan aging gray plow

horse flew overnearly-inconceivably

high barriers.I don’t think you

THE BOOKWORM SEZ

By Terri Schlichenmeyer

“Hey, Dale,” I yelled to my hunting part-ner, Dale VanThuyne. “I think I’m in awhole lot of trouble here.”

We had finished picking up the decoysafter the Saturday morning hunt, and Iwas making onelast attempt toretrieve a mallard Ihad knocked downearlier.

It had enoughlife left after hit-ting the water towalk up to an iso-lated clump ofcattails sur-rounded by amuddy flat.

An earlierattempt by VanThuyne to retrieve theduck was thwarted by an expansive,thigh-deep mud flat.

And now, I was making one last tryby taking the long way around, hopingthat standing cattails would offerenough support to get to the spot.

But just a dozen yards away from mydestination, the cattails thinned outleaving me to sink thigh-deep in theprimordial muck. I was stuck fast.

The mud sucked at my boots andlegs.

Worse, as I struggled, I was sinkingdeeper and deeper.

What a difference a couple monthscan make.

Back in late-June, the owner of thehome where we were staying waspulling up water-logged carpet aftercopious rains flooded his basement, thefirst time in 30 years he’d had a drop ofwater.

The succession of storms and heavyrain in spring and early summerwashed away pheasant nests and filledwetlands in southern Minnesota to thebrim.

But Sept. 24, all of that was historyafter an extended dry period evapo-rated all but the deepest wetlands.

We plowed a muddy furrow in thepre-dawn in the outboard in the shal-low lake south of Worthington, Minn.,we planned to hunt.

When we ran out of water, we climbedout and walked alongside the boat, slid-ing the last 100 yards or so across aninch of water and two feet of mud to thesame place we had easily motored up toa year earlier.

An hour before sunrise, we struggledthrough the mud to set up the decoys,

optimistic over the prospects of somegood shooting as Minnesota’s waterfowlseason was set to begin.

For the first time in recent memory,legal shooting time on opening day wasgoing to be a half-hour before sunrise— the magical witching hour for duckhunters — instead of the customary 9a.m. shooting time of years past.

Minutes after the first shots rang outon a nearby slough to herald legalshooting time, a flock of wood ducksbuzzed over head. Our reflexes a bitrusty, we missed them cleanly.

Over the course of the morning, weenjoyed steady but hardly spectacularaction.

By 10 a.m., empty skies prompted usto pack it in. Our bag consisted of awood duck, a blue-winged teal, twomallards, a widgeon, a (blush) spoonbill, a Canada goose and, of course, theyet-to-be-retrieved mallard.

For the first 100 yards or so, the cat-tails gave me enough support.

But then, as the last few densestands of cattails thinned out, themuck got deeper and deeper — so deepI could go no further.

Worse, I was unable to move, to turnaround, to get the muck to release itsgrip on waders. Tired, I considered myoptions. I was in no danger of drowningbut I imagined the embarrassingprospect of a 911 call to busy conserva-

tion officers if I wasn’t able to extractmyself.

I imagined the headline in the Wor-thington Daily Globe: “Foolish 59-year-old duck hunter rescued frommud.”

VanThuyne asked if I needed help.“Not yet.” We certainly didn’t need twopeople stuck in the mud.

I grabbed my left leg with bothhands and pulled. My foot slid out ofthe wader boot, which was still stuckfast. Balanced on one leg, I reachedinto the mud and grabbed the waderand pulled. It reluctantly came free.

Then the next leg, same procedure.Eventually, I was able to get turned

around and make my way to a denserstand of cattails where the vegetationoffered some support and eventuallyto where VanThuyne waited at theboat.

Oh, we’re back out here again thismorning.

But this time in a place wherethere’s more water than there is mud.

Depending on where area hunters set out theirdecoys the morning of Sept. 24 for the opener of the2011 Minnesota Waterfowl Season, success rangedfrom fair to excellent.

Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Con-servation Officer Bob Geving said hunters hechecked on Rice Lake in Faribault County did “awe-some.”

“Mostly, I saw limits of teal and woodies with asmattering of mallards,” he said.

The fly in the ointment is that hunters there weregreeted with low water conditions which made it dif-ficult to access the lake.

“Water conditions were terrible — hunters reallyhad to battle to get out on the lake,” he said. “A lot of

the guys said they weren’t going to go out thereagain on Sunday.”

Other conservation officers reported varying suc-cess on other area lakes.

On Buffalo Lake in Waseca County, hunters aver-aged one or two ducks each. “But it was a great vari-ety — canvasbacks, pintails, gadwall and widgeon,”Geving said.

Hunters checked onMinnesota Lake did-n’t have much action.Conservation officerGreg Abrahamchecked hunters inthe Swan Lake area.

“It was better than Iexpected — I’d sayfair,” he said. “But thennothing today is reallygood if you rememberthe really good olddays of duck hunting.”

Abraham said hesaw a mixture ofducks in hunters’bags.

“I probably saw asmany green-winged teal as I did blue-winged teal, somespoonbills, and it seemed like every body I checked hadat least one hen mallard,” he said. Abraham saw twoindividual limits and several groups that had a singlelimit between two or three hunters.

While he didn’t work Swan Lake proper on Sept. 24,Abraham said some hunters reported having lots ofshooting while others didn’t do quite as well on thatpopular duck hunting lake.

Apparently hunters were playing mostly by the book.Geving said the only complaint he had to check washunters rattling birdshot off of nearby residents’ homes.

Abraham said he encountered the usual violations— operating a motorboat with uncased and loadedguns, a few issues with stamps and licenses.

“But with the early opening shooting hours, Ireally didn’t hear much for early shooting,” he said.

Geving had two incidents of wayward huntingdogs. On Rice Lake, hunters thought they had a bigbeaver swimming through their decoys in the earlymorning darkness.

“Turns out it was a dog that swam all the wayacross the lake,” he said.

And then a hunting party on Minnesota reported that aLabrador swam up to their boat and climbed aboard,uninvited.

“They were well-fed so they belong to somebody,”Geving said.

The duck hunting season in the south duck zoneended Sept. 24. It will resume Oct. 1 and continuethrough Nov. 27.

In the north duck zone, the season will remain open,continuing through Nov. 22.

In December of 2006,Stan and I were married.

Stan brought Gracie intoour marriage and I broughtSam, a beautiful black Lab-Rottweiler. Sam looked likea Rottweiler, acted like ablack Lab. He was the bestwatchdog ever. We wonderedif the miniature Sheltiecould survive Sam. Herpetite size and quiet waymade their friendship possible. His joy inhaving a friend was another benefit.

She burst on the scene a gentle femi-nine; a real little lady. She had my loveand affection right away. A sable andwhite haired dog with a white beard anda black under coat, she looked gorgeous.

She wanted nothing to do with bathsor showers. I did the best I could tokeep her clean and pretty. Stan was herprotector. She felt safe with him. So,when I tried to brush her hair, I was avillain. The knotting of hair behind herears was painful to her and to me.

Finally, I knew I needed help. So didshe. I couldn’t brush her any more. Yes,she broke my heart and she was toowarm with her long shaggy coat to stayindoors. On the farm, Sam slept with theanimals outside until the cold wintercame, then he stayed in the warm house.

“Gracie” I said, “we have had enough

battle of wills. You are notcomfortable with this longcoat.” We would take her toBarking Beauties, a place ofmiracles where lovelyunkempt farm dogs aretransformed into the beauti-ful animals God created themto be. “There they are fit tolive in the house with people.”

It was welcoming at Bark-ing Beauties. The dogs were

calm and comfortable and Gracie nolonger needed or depended on us forher grooming care. We hurried backto get her when the telephone rang.“She was a very good girl”, thegroomer complimented as she stoopeddown to let Gracie run straight intoStan’s arms. She ran down the longhalls, all the way keeping her stridesoft and lady-like. Stan bent down toswoop her up with resounding reas-surance — “Good Girl!”

Hair of the dog: Dealingwith a doggie drama A gentle nudge, an inquisi-

tive sniff — your dog or cat’snose can be used to commu-nicate as well as inquire.But what other telltalesigns can your pet’s noseconvey?

“Some cat caregivers worryabout black spots on the noseof their cat,” said AdamPatterson, clinical assis-tant professor at the TexasA&M College of VeterinaryMedicine & Biomedical Sci-ences.

“The concern is if these black spotsare cancerous, but in reality the spotsare a normal finding in young orangecats,” Patterson said. “These blackspots can appear on your cat’s nose aswell as lips, eyemargins, gums andmouth.”

“Usually orangetabbies are moreprone to theseblack spots whichis a conditionknown as lentigo sim-plex,” Patterson said.“These spots are some-what comparable to freckles in humansand are not itchy or painful. However,there should be concern if you findraised or inflamed spots that causesoreness and pain. Always have thesetypes of spots examined by your veteri-narian.”

Dogs can lose pigment on their nose,Patterson said. This is not much of aconcern as long as the surface of thenose retains its cobblestone appear-ance. If the nose begins to crack, scabor smooth over, then veterinary assis-tance should be sought.

Nutritional disorders, autoimmunediseases and cancer cause these typesof signs and often warrant a biopsy ofthe nose to make a diagnosis.

“Cats and dogs are prone to sunburn

and subsequent skin cancer on noses,ears and around the eyes,” Pat-

terson said. “Fair-skinnedanimals with light-colored

hair coats are at the mostrisk. Limiting sun exposurebetween 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.during the summertime ... canreduce the risk for solar dam-age.”

Your pet’s runny nose mayindicate other medical con-

ditions are lingering, Patter-son said. Respiratory infec-tions may manifest

themselves as nasal discharge,sneezing, coughing and difficultbreathing. Foreign bodies or tumors inthe nasal passages may cause thesesame signs. If your pet exhibits any of

these health prob-lems, it should beseen by your vet-erinarian as soonas possible.

“Remember thatwet or dry nosesare not a sign of ill-ness per se,” Pat-terson said.“Whether yourpet’s nose is dry or

wet is largely related to the tempera-ture and humidity in their environ-ment. Lethargy, little or no appetite,weight loss, vomiting, diarrhea andinappropriate urination are some signsthat better reflect illness.”

So, know the nose of your pet. It canbe a messenger as to the health of yourcat or dog in addition to a wet andwarm greeting.

Grain prices are effective cash close on Oct. 4. The price index chart compares an average of most recently reported local cash prices with the same average for a year ago.*Cash grain price change represents a two-week period.

Grain AnglesGrains tumble as

money exitsGrain prices continue to tumble as the investor

money runs for the exits.December corn has lost $1.40 and November soy-

beans have lost $2 from their late-summer highprices. The crops are getting smaller, yet the pricescontinue to decline. There is a clear disconnectbetween grain prices and the fun-damentals of supply-and-demandin the markets.

The investment community isclearly spooked by the instabilityin the world economy. Investorshave developed a fear of holdingstocks and commodities in theirportfolios. They are keeping theircapital in “cash” or U.S. Trea-suries that are paying little inter-est. We are seeing the impact ofthe investors leaving the com-modity markets. We can see theimpact they had on prices whenthey were buying commodities. We may be findingthe fundamental value of grain as they leave themarkets.

The other day I was visiting with a friend who feedscattle. He asked me what I thought the corn marketwas going to do. He needed to buy some corn and hegenerally likes to buy corn at harvest time.

We visited about the investor money coming out ofthe markets and the smaller crop. We talked aboutthe significant erosion in the price. I told him that Ithought there was still going to be plenty of volatilityin the markets as we still have several crop reports tocome out this fall and demand would remain strong.We agreed that he should probably take some cover-age for the next quarter of the year.

When we look at the economics of growing corn

Grain OutlookJaws drop on

grain stocks reportThe following market analysis is for the week end-

ing Sept. 30.CORN — We closed out the week with many

traders picking their jaws up off the floor after thevery surprising Grain Stocks as of Sept. 1 reportreleased on Sept. 30. Anything that happened priorto the report has been overshad-owed by the fresh numbers.

In this report, the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture said therewas 1.128 billion bushels of cornon hand as we closed out the2010-11 marketing year. Thiswas 78 million bushels greaterthan even the highest trade esti-mate. The September USDA bal-ance sheet was carrying a 920million bushel carryout. Of thenew total, 72 percent of the cornstocks were held off-farm.

At first blush, you would think the higher cornstocks implies less feeding, with wheat feed demandpicking up the slack. However, on this report thewheat stocks number was also higher than antici-pated and reportedly implies wheat feeding wasdown over 15 percent from last year in the quarter.Calculations infer that fourth quarter corn feedingis the lowest in over 60 years, at 460 million bushels.

When cattle on feed numbers June-August werethe fourth highest in 15 years, the stocks number ispuzzling. With the larger ending stocks for 2010-11,we now have some breathing room carried forwardto the 2011-12 balance sheet. Prior to the report,December corn was only off 6 cents for the week.When the dust settled December corn was down 46cents for the week, closing down the new 40 centlimit at $5.92 1/2 per bushel.

Livestock AnglesOutside markets

have inside impactThe livestock markets have seen some volatile days

during the first half of September. Most of thisvolatility has been in response to the outside mar-kets, particularly the financial markets. One shouldexpect this type of market behavior as long as theworld economic situation remains on questionableground.

The cattle market was espe-cially influenced by the shakyworld economy as commodityfunds exited their long positionsover the past several weeks. Thisliquidation caused the futures tobe under pressure and forced thefeedlots to move inventory atlower prices to maintain a posi-tive basis.

The other major factor thatpressured the market was thefact that when the beef cutoutsreached the $185 per hundred-weight area basis choice retailers backed away,reflecting consumer resistance to the higher prices.At the same time the packers had paid in excess ofthese cutout levels on a live basis and profit marginsdisappeared, forcing their bids to be less aggressive.

On Sept. 23 the U.S. Department of Agriculturereleased a Monthly Cattle on Feed Report. Theresults were: Cattle on feed as of Sept. 1 105 percent;placed in August; 99 percent; marketed in August,107 percent. The report was seen as bullish since theplacement number was lower than trade guesses, aswell as the total number on feed and the marketednumber greater than anticipated.

The recent cold storage report by the USDA indi-cated building stocks of beef which would reflect theresistance to the higher beef prices. Nevertheless, it

NYSTROM, from pg. 16AExport sales this week were good,

indicating prices were attracting buyerinterest. Corn sales were 31 millionbushels, bringing total commitmentsto 622.8 million bushels and maintain-ing the 9 percent less than last yearpercentage. Weekly ethanol productionwas only 841,000 barrels per day ascompared to 871,000 barrels per daythe previous week. This was the slow-est week in the past year.

OUTLOOK: After the end-of-monthreports, we have elbow room on thesupply-demand sheets. This takes theburden off the rationing process andlowers expectations for the upside aswe move through harvest. Will theUSDA lower acreage numbers on the

Oct. 12 crop report? IsChina ready to step uptheir buying program?These may be in the back of traders’minds as we move through harvest.Grower selling has been turned offwith room to store the crop and littleinclination to sell $1.87 lower (Decem-ber futures) than the high set inAugust. The next support level on thechart would be the spike low set backin July at $5.75 1/2 per bushel.

SOYBEANS — If soybeans werestanding alone, the September stocksreport would have been supportivewith stocks at 214 million bushels ver-sus 225 million estimated. This is 10million bushels lower than the Sep-tember balance sheet indicated.

However, in light ofthe heavy selling incorn and wheat, plus

weak economics, soybeans were alsopulled sharply lower in post-reporttrading. Higher-than-expected yieldreports and good harvestweather cast a shadow overthe soybean sector goinginto the weekend. If soy-bean yield onlyimproves a bushelfrom the September41.8 bu./acre USDAforecast, it wouldtranslate into 75 mil-lion additional bushelsbased on the currentacreage figure.

Weekly soybeans saleswere excellent this week atnearly 38 million bushels. Totalcommitments are running 24 percentbehind last year at 592 millionbushels. Total export sales are esti-mated to decline 5.3 percent this year.

OUTLOOK: Soybeans this week fellunder the umbrella of overall commod-ity selling and better than expectedyield reports. November soybeanstumbled 79 cents to $11.79 per bushelfor the week. The low this week at

$11.75 is the lowest level of this cal-endar year for the November con-tract. The next level of technical sup-port would be the 100-day movingaverage on the weekly chart at $11.50per bushel, then the psychological

level of $11.00 per bushel.Stay in tune with yield

reports since harvestweather looks clear forthe next week.

Nystrom’s notes:Contract changes forthe week ended Sept.30: MinneapolisDecember wheat

gained 41 1/2 centswhile the Chicago con-

tract fell 31 1/2 centsand Kansas City dropped

27 1/4 cents. Novembercrude oil lost 65 cents to settle at

$79.20 per barrel, heating oil wasdown 2.66 cents, gasoline gained 1.37cents, and natural gas was a dimelower. As of mid-afternoon Sept. 30,the Dow was up 230 points for theweek, the U.S. dollar was 0.05 pointshigher, and gold was down $20.50 at$1617.20 per ounce. The next USDAreport is the monthly crop report onOct. 12.

TEALE, from pg. 16Ais highly likely we will see anotherattempt to push prices higher. If thereis little change in the world financialproblems, then the rally will likely fail.Producers should be cognizant of mar-ket conditions and use excessivestrength to protect inventories.

The hog market has faired a littlebetter through all the market uneasi-ness over the past few weeks. Withpork cutouts at half the price of beefcutouts the retailers are moving moreto pork featuring rather than the beef.This kept the live price fairly steady to

higher as the packers continued toshow interest in acquiring inventory.

The only deterrent to much higherprices would be the fact that the USDACold Storage Report indicated that thestocks of pork in cold storage has beenon the increase. With the dollar gain-ing ground against most other curren-cies, the export market has slowed.Couple this with the financial uneasi-ness and a sustained rally seems notlikely at this time. Producers are urgedto be patient and use any excessivestrength in the market to protectinventories.

Teale: Pork producersurged to practice patience

NEHER, from pg. 16Anext year, we can make the case forsignificantly more acres to be planted.Even with corn having a significantlyhigher cost of production than soy-beans; it remains more profitable togrow corn with today’s prices.

This could encourage many moreacres to be planted to corn next spring.Many in the trade are estimating that91 million to 94 million acres may beplanted to corn in the United Statesfor the 2012-13 crop. Brazil andArgentina are also expected to plantmore acres of corn this fall. With aver-age yields, this could help rebuildworld corn stocks.

Given the significant costs (risk)

incurred with growing corn, it will beimportant to manage the riskinvolved. It may be prudent to laysome of the risk off onto the market, byselling enough 2012 corn to cover thefixed cost of land, machinery, prepaidseed, fertilizer and family living. If wewere to see $4 corn next year,unhedged risk could be financiallydamaging.

The longer that I am involved withthese markets, the more that I know Idon’t know. When my friend asked meabout the corn market, I should havesaid; “I have no idea.” I do know thatwe are looking at some profitableopportunities. Managing the marginswill be our “Grain Angle.”

Neher: Unhedged riskcould be damaging

MARKETING

Balancing the federal budget and makingbudget reductions have been receiving majorattention in recent months.

Major developments have included thedebt ceiling-deficit reduction bill passed byCongress this past summer, the current 12-member Congressional Super Committeethat was named to develop an adjustmentplan for the federal budget deficit and therelease of President Obama’s plan for deficitreduction.

If the Congressional Super Committeecannot reach an agreement, the adminis-tration will be authorized to makeacross-the board cuts in nearly all fed-eral programs.

As Congress and others look for places to cut thefederal budget, U.S. Department of Agriculturespending that is authorized under the farm bill isoften mentioned. The current farm bill, the “Food,Conservation and Energy Act of 2008,” will governfarm commodity, conservation, food and nutrition,and other USDA administered programs throughSept. 30, 2012, which will be the final crop yearunder the current farm bill.

Funding allocations under the current farm billare based on a 10-year cycle (2008-17).

Currently, the Supplemental Nutri-tion Assistance Program, whichincludes food stamps, the school lunchprogram, women, infants and childrennutrition program, etc., accounts for 74percent of all USDA annual spending.Federal spending on farm commodityprograms, including dairy, crop insur-ance support, conservation programsand other farm-related programs isapproximately 18 percent of the totalannual USDA budget. The other 8 per-cent of annual USDA spending is for

all other programs, including agresearch, rural development,energy and forestry.The next farm bill that governs

all USDA programs will likely be written by Con-gress in the next 12 to 18 months, with a “largeshadow” being cast bythe ongoing efforts toreduce the federalbudget deficit. Everyonefrom congressional lead-ers to presidential candi-dates, from farm organi-zations to consumergroups, from environ-mentalists to the tax-payer groups, are offer-ing ideas andsuggestions for the nextfarm bill, and future USDA spending.

President Obama’s “Plan for Economic Growth andDeficit Reduction,” which was recently released,included some specific recommendations on federalspending on government farm programs, which couldlikely impact the writing of the next farm bill. TheObama administration released a fact sheet on pro-posals to reduce the budget deficit, while still sup-porting rural communities. Following are some of theadministration’s proposals.

• Eliminate unnecessary direct payments.• Modernize the crop insurance program to reduce

cost and improve efficiency.• Better target agricultural conservation assis-

tance.• Extend mandatory disaster assistance to

strengthen the “safety net” for farmers.Let’s take a closer look at the Obama administra-

tion proposals, along with the current discussions inCongress regarding some of the most common andvisible current USDA programs, and analyze whatthe likelihood is for future cuts in federal spending.Eliminate unnecessary direct payments

When it comes to reducing USDA spending forfarm programs, the most commonly mentioned pro-posal is to cut or eliminate payments to farmers.

Direct payments became part of government farmprograms with the so-called “Freedom-to-Farm” farmbill in 1996. The direct payments were to replace themore “open-ended” farm program payments, whichexisted prior to the 1996 legislation.

Direct payments are “fixed” payments per crop

base acre, and are paid to eligible farmers each year,regardless of the actual crop yields, crop prices orfarm income. The direct payment levels and formulashave been modified slightly by the 2002 and 2008farm bills.

The administration wants to eliminate $30 billionin spending on direct payments over the next 10years, or about $3 billion per year. Estimated currentannual federal spending on direct payments isapproximately $4.9 billion per year.

The average crop revenue (ACRE) program alter-native was added in the 2008 farm bill as a “safetynet” alternative for crop producers. However, the pro-gram is quite complicated, and enrollment has beenrelatively low. Total federal spending for the currentfiscal year for direct and ACRE payments is esti-mated at $4.71 billion. Total farm program paymentsto producers for 2011, including dairy and livestock

payments, are estimatedat $10.2 billion, which isdown nearly 18 percentfrom 2010 spending lev-els, and is the lowestUSDA outlay for farmprogram payments since1997.

There is a big differ-ence in the amount ofdirect payments produc-ers receive for variousfarm crops. Southern

rice producers receive an average of $96 per cropbase acre and cotton growers receive approximately$34 per base acre in direct payments annually, com-pared to an average of about $24 per acre for Mid-west corn producers.

Farmers in the South received an average 30 to 40percent of their net income in 2010 from governmentfarm program payments, while Midwest farmersaveraged less than 20 percent of net income fromthose payments. This accounts for some of theregional differences regarding the need for continua-tion of direct payments.

Some farm organizations, including the NationalCorn Growers Association, have called for elimina-tion of direct payments in the next farm bill, withsome of the funding being used for an improved“safety-net” program that would replace the currentACRE program.

Some members of Congress want to totally elimi-nate direct payments, ACRE and all program sup-ports for farmers, citing the current high levels of netfarm income. Program reductions or elimination ofdirect payments are likely to happen in the nextfarm bill, if not earlier during other legislationrelated to the federal budget deficit; however, sometype of “safety-net” program will likely be continued.Modernize crop insurance program to reducecost and improve efficiency

Most farmers, ag lenders and ag organizations arequite adamant about maintaining support for thefederal crop insurance program, which is currentlyutilized as a “safety-net” on approximately 83 per-cent of the eligible U.S. crop acres to guard against

See PROGRAMS, pg. 19A

President Obama’s ‘Plan for EconomicGrowth and Deficit Reduction,’ whichwas recently released, included somespecific recommendations on federalspending on government farm pro-grams, which could likely impact thewriting of the next farm bill.

PROGRAMS, from pg. 18Areduced crop yields and crop revenues.

The federal government subsidizes crop insuranceto keep insurance premium levels more affordablefor farmers. The programs have been expanded inrecent years to offer similar “safety-net” programs tolivestock producers.

The Obama administration wants to streamlinethe administrative costs for crop insurance, cut theadministrative support to private crop insuranceagents and reduce thepremium subsidies onmost levels of cropinsurance coverage. Thetarget is to save about$8 billion in federalspending over the next10 years on crop insur-ance programs.

Some observers feelthat the federal govern-ment may be movingcloser to taking overtotal administration of thecrop insurance program, rather than the partnershipwith private insurance companies that currentlyexists.

In 2010, Congress cut approximately $6 billion inexpected future crop insurance expenditures. Federalexpenditures on crop insurance vary from year-to-year depending on total losses in a given year. Manymembers of Congress continue to advocate for con-tinued federal support for a strong crop insuranceprogram, and to keep premiums for upgraded croprevenue insurance coverage at affordable levels formost crop producers.

While there may be some reductions in the futurepremium subsidies and administration costs, federalsupport for crop insurance is not likely to be totallyeliminated, and the crop insurance program willlikely continue to be administered by private compa-nies.Better target agricultural conservation assis-tance

The Obama administration is proposing to reducefederal spending on conservation programs by $2 bil-lion over the next 10 years. This would be accom-plished by better targeting conservation funding tothe most cost-effective and environmentally friendlyprograms and practices.

While there are few specifics on what the proposedcuts in conservation spending would include, manyobservers expect the cuts to come through combiningand streamlining some existing conservation pro-grams, such as the Environmental Quality Assur-ance Program and the Conservation Security Pro-gram.

Under the Obama Plan, there would still be $60billion in federal spending allotted over the nextdecade for conservation programs. The best-knownpopular federal conservation program is the Conser-vation Reserve Program, which allows land ownersto place environmentally sensitive farm land intolong-term land set-aside program. CRP participants

receive annual CRP rental paymentson the farm land that is idled.

For fiscal year 2011, there are cur-rently about 31.2 million acres under some type ofCRP contract in the United States, resulting in anannual total budget outlay of approximately $1.85billion. Current CRP contracts were to expire on 4.4million acres on Sept. 30, 2011, with another 6.5 mil-lion acres set to expire in 2012, and 3.3 million acresin 2013.

Some see reducing the total acres in CRP, alongwith more restrictions onacres that are eligible forCRP, as a way to reducefederal spending; how-ever, a strong CRP willlikely be maintained inthe future.Extend mandatorydisaster assistance tostrengthen the “safetynet” for farmers

The Obama adminis-tration recommended

extending $8 billion in federal spending over thenext 10 years for a mandatory disaster program forfarmers, which would extend the funding for thoseprograms for the 2012-16 crop years. Funding for theSupplemental Revenue Assistance program willexpire after the 2011 fiscal year, meaning the SUREprogram will no longer be available after the 2011crop year, unless funding is extended.

The SURE program, or permanent disaster pro-gram, was initiated as part of the 2008 farm bill,with bipartisan support from many members of Con-gress from rural states. The SURE program providesfarmers with approximately an extra 15 percent rev-enue coverage above their crop insurance coverageon eligible crops raised during a given crop year.

Many farm groups have complained that the SUREprogram involves complicated payment formulas,which do not allow for potential SURE payments tobe made until a year after a crop disaster actuallyoccurs. Originally, the SURE program was intendedto replace the continual need for ad-hoc federal dis-aster programs for farmers, following natural disas-ters across the United States. Even with the SUREprogram in existence, Congressional requests for ad-hoc disaster assistance has continued in recentyears.Reductions in SNAP programs

Even though the SNAP program utilizes nearlythree-fourths of the USDA spending, the Obamaadministration did not propose any cuts or revisionsto that program.

In the debt ceiling legislation that was passed thispast summer by Congress, food stamps, along withSocial Security and Medicare, were protected fromspending cuts. Many observers feel that the 12-mem-ber federal budget committee will not propose cuts tomost nutrition programs under the SNAP program.However, if there is no budget agreement, and man-dated spending cuts are implemented, some SNAPprograms could be affected. In the past, strongUSDA spending on food and nutrition programs has

been used as a tool for farm-state law-makers to garner enough broad-basedCongressional support to pass farm

bills.Most likely, we will not see major reductions in

the future federal budget outlay for SNAP programsin the next farm bill.Bottom line

One of the Obama administration proposalsrelated to rural America was to “pursue balanceddeficit reduction to prevent drastic cuts.” They refer-ence the need to address federal income tax struc-ture, in addition to making the proposed by budgetadjustments in federal spending for future farm-related programs.

The Obama administration has proposed over $40billion in federal spending on direct payments, cropinsurance and conservation programs over the next10 years, while adding back about $8 billion for con-tinued funding of the SURE program for the nextfive years (2012-16).

Overall, the Obama administration proposed $3.6trillion in spending reductions over the next 10years, with the goal of balancing the federal budget.Of that amount, approximately $1.5 trillion will besaved from troop removals out of Iraq andAfghanistan, and $1.5 trillion will come from tax-related initiatives, leaving $600 billion in savingsfrom all other federal government program spend-ing.

Of that amount, a cut of $32.3 billion over 10years would come from direct payments, crop insur-ance and conservation programs, which would rep-resent 5.5 percent of the total proposed cuts.

Current annual spending on those three programsrepresents only 0.4 percent of total federal spend-ing. This has caused some farm groups and othersto question the balance and fairness of the cuts toagricultural programs that are being proposed.

This column was written for the mar-keting week ending Sept. 30.

Farm gate milk prices are headingdown. The U.S. Department of Agricul-ture announced the September Federalorder Class III milk price at $19.07 perhundredweight, down $2.60 from August,but still $2.81 above September 2010,and equates to about $1.64 per gallon.That pulls the 2011 Class III average to$18.28, up from $14.07 at this time ayear ago and $10.49 in 2009.

Class III futures settled Friday asfollows: October $17.44, November$16.41, and December at $16.35.Looking “back to the futures” nowcombined with the announced Class III prices, theFederal order Class III contract’s average for thelast half of 2011 was at $19.63 on Sept. 2, $19.36 onSept. 9, $19.49 on Sept. 16, $19.21 on Sept. 23, and$18.72 on Sept. 29.

The September Class IV price is $19.53, down 61cents from August, but $2.77 above a year ago. Cali-fornia’s comparable September 4a and 4b prices arescheduled to be announced Oct. 3.

■

The four week National Agricultural StatisticsService-surveyed cheese price averaged $1.8592 perpound, down 28.1 cents from August. Butter aver-aged $1.9886, down 8.1 cents. Nonfat dry milk aver-aged $1.5439, down 3 cents, and dry whey averaged59.26 cents, up 2.4 cents.

Cash cheese lost a little more ground the lastweek in September though some positive movementoccurred in the week. The 40-pound Cheddar blocksclosed Friday at $1.72 per pound, down three quar-ter-cents on the week, and 4 cents below that weeka year ago.

The 500-pound barrels closed at $1.64, down 6.75cents on the week, and 9.5 cents below a year ago.Ten cars of block and 18 of barrel traded hands onthe week in the spot market.

The NASS U.S. average block price fell to $1.8005,down a penny and a half from the previous week,

and the barrels averaged $1.7694, down1.2 cents.

FC Stone dairy broker Dave Kurzawskiwrote in his Sept. 26 Insider Opening Bellthat, “As long as domestic spot cheeseprices stay in the $1.70 range with inter-national prices about a dime higher,export demand isn’t likely to changeenough to lift domestic prices.”

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange’sDaily Dairy Report says USDA confirmedthe slowdown in cheese usage this summer,

reporting that disappearance of Ameri-can cheese was down 1.9 percent from2010 in the May-July period anddown 9.6 percent in July alone.

■

Growth in butter move-ment slowed as well, dueto a decline in exports.Overall butter disappear-ance was up 2.7 percent inMay-July; domestic usewas up 4.1 percent, whileexports were down 8.7percent, according toUSDA numbers.

The cash butter marketclosed September 30 at $1.76,down a penny on the week,and 47.5 cents below a year ago when it peaked for2010 at $2.2350. Only four cars were sold this week.NASS butter averaged $1.8911, down 4.8 cents.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk held all week at$1.49, while the Extra Grade remained at $1.58.NASS powder closed at $1.5413, up a half-cent, anddry whey averaged 60.04 cents, up a penny.

Milk production across the country is settling intofall trends, according to USDA’s weekly update.Weather patterns and temperatures are basicallyconducive to late-season milk output, although milkvolumes are declining to the point that balancingplants and surplus operations are greatly reducingprocessing schedules. Schools are now back in ses-sion, thus the school bottling pipeline is full and milkvolumes are less stressed to maintain capacities.

The fall harvest is well underway in many regions ofthe country for corn silage, although many corn andsoybean fields still need drying time before combining.In some northern areas, a killing frost recentlyoccurred which came earlier than crops in the regionwere ready for. Speculation is that the frost willreduce yields and crop maturity will be challenged.

Cream markets are unsettled as cream volumesbuild and buyers are hesitant to purchase. The sharpdrops in daily pricing and falling weekly price aver-ages of CME butter, are affecting the basing pointsused for most cream sales. Cream buyers are negoti-ating for the lowest basing point. As pricing multi-ples and basing prices continue to fluctuate, butterproducers are very cautious with their additionalcream purchases and churning schedules.

Butter producers are often limiting their creampurchases to contractual commitments. Class II

cream demand has eased as ice cream productiondeclines seasonally, although other cream based prod-uct production (cream cheese, sour cream, and bottledcream) is seasonally active, according to USDA.

■

Farm profitability declined in September, accordingto the USDA’s latest Ag Prices report issued Sept. 29.The September All-Milk price was estimated at$20.90/cwt., down $1.10 from the August record high.

The cost of feed to produce 100 pounds of milk was$11.88, up 24 cents from last month, according to theDDR. Corn decreased 19 cents, to $6.69/bu., alfalfahay was up $5, to $196 per ton, and soybeans weredown 30 cents, to $13.10/bu. The DDR reports the“Income over feed cost” came to $9.03/cwt., down$1.33 from August. Over the last 10 years, it hasaveraged $9.09.

■

In politics, National MilkProducers Federation CEOand president Jerry Kozakreported in a Sept. 26 tele-conference that additionalsponsors in the House aresigning on to its Founda-tion for the Future dairypolicy reform proposal.The Dairy Security Act of2011 (HR 3062) was intro-duced by Reps. Collin

Peterson, D-Minn., and Mike Simpson, R-Idaho.Other sponsors included Democrats Jim Costa,

Calif.; Joe Courtney, Conn.; Rick Larsen, Wash.; KurtSchrader, Ore.; and Peter Welch, Vt. Rep. Billy Long,Mo., was the only Republican to join Simpson.

Additional co-sponsors are being sought, accordingto Kozak, who added that the list of co-sponsors rep-resented bipartisan, regionally diverse support forthe bill, including representatives from several majordairy states and he urged dairy farmers to contacttheir elected officials to encourage their support.

Kozak said the Congressional Budget Office hasscored the legislation and stated the measure wouldreduce government expenditures by $167 billion overthe next five years and $131 billion over 10 years,based on a 60 percent enrollment of U.S. milk inFFTF’s supply management program. The bill hasbeen referred to the House ag committee.

■

Meanwhile, NMPF’s Cooperatives WorkingTogether program accepted 12 requests for exportassistance this week from Darigold, Dairy Farmersof America, and United Dairymen of Arizona to sell atotal of 6.78 million pounds of Cheddar and Mon-terey Jack cheese to customers in Asia, North Africaand the Middle East. The product will be deliveredOctober through March and raised CWT’s 2011cheese exports to 72.3 million pounds to 20 countries,the equivalent of 723 million pounds of milk.

MIELKE, from pg. 20Aand an animal advocacy group, fileda lawsuit against several dairy organ-izations, alleging the dairy groups used the CWTprogram to “fix” milk prices.

Hagens Berman, on behalf of consumers, includingCompassion Over Killingmembers, filed a class-action lawsuit that vari-ous dairy companies andtrade groups, includingNational Milk, DairyFarmers of America, LandO’Lakes, Inc. and Agri-Mark, Inc. formed CWTin order to fix the price ofmilk in the United States.

The lawsuit, filed in theU.S. District Court for theNorthern District of California on Sept. 26, 2011,alleges that between 2003 and 2010, more than500,000 cows were slaughtered under CWT’s dairyherd retirement program.

The complaint alleges the program was a concertedeffort to reduce the supply of milk and inflate pricesnationally. The increased price allowed CWT mem-bers to earn more than $9 billion in additional rev-enue, according to the complaint.

Dairy Profit Weekly editor Dave Natzke reported in

Friday’s DairyLine that, if the lawsuitmoves forward, the suit seeks estab-

lishment of a class representing milkconsumers, and seeks financial damages on theirbehalf for dairy products purchased since 2004.

Jim Tillison, CWT chief operating officer, defendedthe program, saying it wasa self-help initiative toassist family dairy farmersand dairy cooperativeswho were losing moneyproducing milk, Natzkereported. Tillison said theprogram was designed andoperated consistent withU.S. anti-trust laws, thelawsuit was without merit,and that National Milkwould vigorously defendits actions.

Finally, a salute to World Dairy Expo in Madisonwhich I will be attending for the 26th or 27th time,but who is keeping track. It’s a great show, enjoyableand educational.

Major state milk production up from 2010

As we start whatwe hope is a bounti-ful harvest and near-record high prices, many farmers may struggle withmanaging the volume of dollars that you are nowdealing with.

For most farmers, especially those who area little more seasoned, trying to figureout what to do with the “extra” dollarshas not been the norm. In a typi-cal year at this time you wouldbe prioritizing your needsto see what you couldafford to purchase thisyear. For many crop farmsyou now have the ability to takesome of those items off the wish listand put them to work on your farm.

The question is: What capital purchases can youmake that help you manage your business from allangles? You want to do some tax management whileat the same time allow your farm business to handlea few more acres, or at least make it easier for theacres you currently farm. Here are a some manage-ment practices to think about during these times.

Improving the efficiency of your operation byinvesting in cost-saving technology might be a start.Automatic guidance systems and seed shut-offssave money in the long run.

Another option may be to reduce debt by lookingfor the highest interest rate loans and paying themoff. If the fee or penalty charge is minimal, fix inter-est rates on anything that you can.

Improve your grain han-dling facilities that allowyou to be more efficient

during those crunchtimes.

Invest in goodlabor on the farm. Ifyou have employees

who do a good job andyou would like tokeep them aroundand interested inyour farm, givethem a raise or abonus. It makes ita lot easier forthem to stay tunedinto the details,

which equates to better production for you.Perhaps the most important factor while managing

all of this is to make some changes or capital pur-chases without accumulating debt that you cannotafford during normal times. If you cannot afford thecash expenditure with $3 corn, then do not spend themoney when corn is $7.

For more information on managing your farmfinances, you can find a farm management instructorat www.fbm.mnscu.edu.

You are able to get one free copy of your creditreport per year from each of the three main services:Equifax, TransUnion and Experian.

You can request all three at one time, or you mayget one now, another about four months from nowand the last one four months later so that you canoccasionally keep an eye on your credit during theyear. All three services may or may not have theexact same information about you.

There is only one truly free site to request yourcredit reports — www.annualcreditreport.com. Youcan see and print your credit report within a fewminutes, after verifying your identity. There areother offers on the internet of a free credit report,but they typically require you to sign up for other,often expensive, programs.

You will not get your FICO score as part of thesereports, but for less than $10 you can get a creditscore that is not the official FICO score. For a higheramount, you may be able to purchase your FICOscore. The FICO score is what your lender will mostlikely be using. You may be able to get your FICOscore by asking your lender. When requesting yourcredit report, you will also be asked if you want toenroll in other services, but will not be pushed toaccept them.

Each person will have their own credit reports, soyou and your spouse should each request your ownreports. You will not have a joint report in bothnames. The credit reporting services do not know-ingly keep any information on minor children.

You can also request your reports by phone at(877) 322-8228. You will go through a verificationprocess over the phone. Your reports will come bymail in two to three weeks. Reports can also berequested by mail, but you must print a requestform from the internet site, so if you have internetaccess, you might as well get it over the internet, orelse by phone.

Discovering how genetic selection and breedingimpact performance and carcass traits is a criticalstep in preparing for today’s value-based beef mar-ket. The Minnesota CarcassMerit Program provides cattleproducers an opportunity toobserve, understand and, ifnecessary, re-direct geneticselection and breeding effortsin their cow herds to producehigher quality calves.

This program is open to cat-tle producers wishing to testthe performance potential andcarcass merit of their feedercalves. University of Min-nesota Extension Beef Teammembers provide each partici-pant with detailed informationon the live performance andcarcass characteristics of eachof their calves entered into the pro-gram.

The program is held at the RosemountResearch and Outreach Center at UMorePark in Rosemount, Minn. The producer is responsi-ble for transport of cattle.

Advantages of entering your cattle in the Min-nesota Carcass Merit Program:

• Discovery of the feedlot performance and carcassvalue of your calves

• Use of feed intake, weight gain and efficiency,and carcass data to determine effects of geneticselection

• Test concept of retained ownership to enhance

profitability of cow herd• Commingling of cattle into larger groups to

improve marketability• Alternative outlet for your calf cropCosts to the producer:

• $30 per head entry fee• $0.25 per head daily

yardage fee• Feed at current costs

plus adjustment for shrink• Any veterinary and

medicine costsThe feed delivery fee,

yardage and veterinaryfee are all charged

against the final sellingprice of calves. Therefore,the only out-of-pocket costfor producers is the $30 per

head entry fee. More detailedrequirements for entry into theprogram are available on theBeef Team website at

www.extension.umn.edu/beef.The registration deadline for entry into the pro-

gram is Oct. 14. Cattle delivery will occur on Nov. 1-2 at the feedlot in Rosemount.

For more information on this program, contactGrant Crawford at (320) 234-0441 [email protected].

Much of Minnesota’s corn crop was damaged byfrost on the morning of Sept. 15, according to Univer-sity of Minnesota Extension corn agronomist JeffCoulter.

For corn, a killing freeze occurs when tempera-tures are 32 degrees Fahrenheit for four hours or 28F for just minutes. But according to Coulter, “A frostor killing freeze can still occur above 32 degrees,especially in low and unprotected areas when thereis no wind.”Symptoms of frost damaged corn

Corn leaves are more easily damaged by frost thanstalks. In addition, leaves above the ears are moresusceptible than leaves below the ear. Leaves dam-aged by frost initially have a water-soaked appear-

ance, are light green to gray afterdrying, and later turn brown. A blacklayer will form prematurely whenkernels are killed before maturing.

“Wait a few days before scouting fields to assessthe impact of frost,” Coulter said. “If the frost is notsevere enough to cause premature formation of thekernel black layer, the kernels will continue to accu-mulate dry matter.”Yield, moisture and quality

Frost damage to corn reduces grain and silageyields, grain test weight and silage quality. However,yield and quality reductions depend on the cropstage when frost occurs and the severity of the frost.

If leaves above the ear are damaged by frost butleaves below the ear are unharmed, then yield lossesare expected to be reduced. See Extension’s CropNews article for tables that provide more detail atwww.extension.umn.edu/go/1079.

The dry conditions that occurred during the lastfour to six weeks in much of Minnesota acceleratedcrop maturity. Most of the corn that was planted dur-ing the first three weeks of May was beyond the half-

milk kernel stage (R5.5) when dam-aged, and therefore grain yield lossesin these fields are expected to be low.

However, in regions where corn was planted in lateMay or early June, the corn was around the R5.75stage (25 percent milk) when damaged.

Corn that is severely damaged by frost often haskernels that are more susceptible to cracking, grainthat is less digestible and silage that has lessenergy (starch) and more fiber than normal. Grainwith severe frost damage and light test weightshould be monitored for mycotoxins before feedingto livestock.

Typical in-field dry-down rates for corn grain inMinnesota are available from the related CropNews article found atwww.extension.umn.edu/go/1079.

Frost damage depends on corn growth stage, frost severity

When corn harvesting conditions allow optimaltime for in-field drying, taking full advantage canreduce on-farm energy consumption. A new publica-tion from Iowa State University Extension and Out-reach explains the basic principles of energy manage-ment for grain drying.

“Improving Corn Drying Efficiency” (PM 2089Q) isavailable to download from the Extension OnlineStore, https://store.extension.iastate.edu.

This publication explains corn moisture content,plant physiology and the fundamental principles ofdrying corn following harvest. Topics include in-fielddrying, considerations for selecting earlier maturinghybrids and recommendations for holding corn “wetand cold” through the winter. When conditions allow,implementing some or all of these techniques canhelp growers reduce fuel bills for grain drying.

“Both over-drying and under-drying corn can lead towasted energy and lost grain quality,” said ShawnShouse, ISU Extension agricultural engineer. “Con-sider options to reduce your drying needs and man-age your drying system closely during changingweather and grain conditions to reduce energy useand maintain grain quality.”

For more tips on energy efficiency around the farm-stead, log on to http://farmenergy.exnet.iastate.edu orfollow @ISU_Farm_Energy on Twitter.

The Farm Energy publications are part of a series offarm energy conservation and efficiency educationalmaterials being developed through the ISU FarmEnergy Initiative. The purpose is to increase farmers’awareness of opportunities for improving efficient useof farm energy. The initiative also will help farmersand utility providers to explore opportunities toreduce farm energy demand and to improve overallprofitability in a rapidly changing energy environ-ment.

Farmers do what they do becausethey love it, and most of them couldn’tsee themselves doinganything else.

Outside forces oftentake some of the shineoff of their profession,but sometimes it takesan outsider to tell youjust how good you haveit and to give you a paton the back.

The Minnesota PorkBoard and the PorkCheckoff is providingpork producers with aWorkforce Develop-ment Seminar — Swine Farms, AGreat Place to Work — to reinforcethe job that producers do. The sixthannual WDS is slated for 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Oct. 18 at the Country Inn& Suites in Mankato, Minn.

“This is designed to provide valu-able training for producers, man-agers, herdsmen, anyone in the pro-duction cycle,” said Jeremy Geske,Minnesota Pork Board assistant exec-utive director. Though this seminar isprovided by the MPB and the PorkCheckoff, it is open to anyone involvedin livestock care and agriculture,regardless where they call home.

Bruce Vincent will kick off the semi-nar with the keynote address “So, YouWant to Date My Daughter.” The syn-opsis of this talk states “We operateonly with the consent of the public.

Understanding society’s concernsabout environmental issues and ani-mal husbandry issues (they LOVE theenvironment and animals …) is criti-

cal in positively engag-ing that public body.”

Vincent is a third-gen-eration Montana loggerwho speaks throughoutthe United States and theworld to groups includingresource, recreation,banking and businessassociations, legislativebodies, university cam-puses, and “anyone elsewho would like to hearabout our rural cultures.”

Vincent will also closethe day’s agenda “With Vision, There isHope: How Not to be the Career of LastChoice.” The description of this presenta-tion explains “An entire generation of stu-dents has been taught that career choicesthat include ‘getting your hands dirty’ aresomehow less than fulfilling — at least foranyone with intelligence. This wrong-headed thought process is especially dan-gerous for the producers who feed, clotheand shelter humanity. This must changeif we want a healthy economy, protectedplanet and competent work force.”

In between Vincent’s presentationswill be John Deen with the Universityof Minnesota talking about euthanasiatraining, Darwin Reicks of the SwineVet Center in St. Peter, Minn., dis-cussing working in a filtered barn, andDonna Rae Scheffert presenting lead-ership tools in “Fight, Flight or Engage:

Employee Conflict Management.”In addition to these presentations,

producers will be able to visit the“Training Tool Shed” to gather resourcesfor employee training and development,all free of charge to pork producers.

User-friendly applicationprovides barn-specificresults, insights

The Pork Checkoff announces the release of a newsoftware tool for pork producers — the Live SwineCarbon Footprint Calculator.

Developed with the technical expertise of the Uni-versity of Arkansas’ Applied Sustainability Center,the user-friendly application allows producers toinput their on-farm data from the sow or grow-finishside of production to compute the carbon footprint ofan entire barn of pigs from breeding to market.

Roy Henry, a pork producer from Longford, Kan.,and member of the National Pork Board, said,“America’s pork producers are among the most envi-ronmentally and socially responsible food producersin the world. The unveiling of the new carbon foot-print calculator demonstrates this fact once again.”

Henry said that the calculator will create a bench-mark of a barn’s carbon footprint that producers canthen use to help make production decisions toimprove efficiencies and achieve a lower overall foot-print. “This tool truly offers us an innovation that canhelp guide our management practices,” Henry said.

National Pork Board President Everett Forkner, aproducer from Richards, Mo., sees the new tool as abreakthrough. “It’s a great day for everyone on andoff the farm when we can bring a new tool such asthis to U.S. producers,” Forkner said. “It reflects pro-ducers’ ongoing dedication to invest in new tools thathelp improve upon their long history of protectingthe environment.”

Randy Spronk, a producer from Edgerton, Minn.,who serves on the Checkoff ’s environmental commit-tee, was one of the first to test the carbon footprintcalculator. He was impressed by its ease of use andstraightforward output. “With your production dataavailable to enter into the calculator, it only takes afew minutes to determine your barn’s carbon foot-

print and to visually see what the biggest contribu-tors to it are,” Spronk said. “From there, you canbegin thinking how you might make changes toincrease on-farm efficiencies and reduce your base-line footprint.”

Spronk said the tool clearly shows how inputs,such as feed, energy use, manure and pig perform-ance, are all related to the carbon footprint of a barn.“It’s an eye-opener to see how this all interrelates,”Spronk said. “It drives home how we, as producersfrom operations of all sizes, can continue to takeadditional steps to be environmentally, socially andeconomically sustainable.”

Pork producers can order a free copy of the LiveSwine Carbon Footprint Calculator atwww.pork.org/sustainability or by calling (800) 456-7675.

If you surmise thatpiglets emerging intothe world in deeplybedded group-farrow-ing pens are more“docile” than pigletsthat are confinementborn in a farrowing crate — you surmisecorrectly. And they pretty much remainless agonistic in later life, even whenmixed with young pigs that started inthe farrowing crate environment.

Reporting at the Sept. 20-21 MinnesotaNutrition Conference in Owatonna,behavioral scientist Yuzhi Li with theWest Central Research and OutreachCenter, at Morris, Minn., reported on herstudy of “social interaction” of pigs com-paring the two farrowing systems.

“Pigs started in group farrowing wereless aggressive when mingled into largergroups in the grow-finish barn. We had atotal of 216 pigs, 108 group farrowed and108 crate farrowed. The pigs from cratefarrowing were less sociable when

weaned (five weeks) and that lessersocial ability continued throughout thefinishing period,” Li said.

Aggressive interactions among pigs ineach of the previous housing systemswere video-recorded immediately aftermixing for 24 hours. The videos wereviewed continuously to register all fight-ing events, including duration and fre-quency of fighting among familiar andunfamiliar pigs. Fighting occurred atfeeders, drinkers and open areas of a pen.

Her data showed that approximately95 percent of the fights occurredamong unfamiliar pigs, with 65 per-cent, 30 percent and 5 percent of totalfights being observed in open areas, atfeeders and at drinkers, respectively,regardless of previous housing system.

“These results suggest that pigsreared in the group-farrowing systemmaintained the ability to discriminatebetween pen mates and non-penmates, and were more tolerant of unfa-miliar pigs when mixed in smallgroups compared to pigs reared in theconfinement system,” Li said.

With combines now rolling, the bigquestion is what’s the quality of the2011 harvest?

The Sept. 15 frost which slitheredacross much of Minnesota,South Dakota and NorthDakota only exacerbatedthe issue. Most observersare already suggesting thiscould be a repeat of the2009 harvest when wetcorn, low test weight corn,mycotoxin-infested cornand other quality issueswere challenging both farmers and ele-vators.

“Some of these fields never matured.I know we’ll be seeing 47-pound testweights, maybe even lower and soybean fields thatmay not even be worth harvesting,” said DaveAmundson, sales-customer service technician forStearns DHIA Laboratories in Sauk Centre, Minn.“Leave some of this stuff for late-winter, earlyspring combining and who knows what you’ll findout there.”

He said they already are getting an inordinatenumber of phone calls, e-mails and visits by farmersand feed processors about quality issues of the 2011crop. “This thing is so diverse in its geography,spreading all the way from North Dakota to south-ern Minnesota. It’s just a wide open scenario. Andwhere there was also hail and/or insect damagethere likely will be some mold and aflatoxin issuesalso.”

Nutrient value will be the big question on cornthis year simply because so much of the crop didn’treach black layer prior to that Sept. 15 frost. “We’regetting lots of corn samples brought to the lab bygrowers and grain handlers who simply are con-cerned about the feed value of that corn. Proteinvalues aren’t likely to be affected but certainly car-bohydrate (energy) content will be decreased, some-times dramatically because of the low test weight,”Amundson said.

Relating to the ethanol industry he said his labo-

ratories are getting “a lot ofwhat I call strange byprod-ucts from some of these pro-cessing facilities, especiallythe ethanol industry. Many ofthese byproducts were simplydiscarded but now people arereally trying to find out whatvalue some of these productsmight have. There are someweird things coming in. Wejust received a tofu byprod-uct.

“The guy called me andasked ‘Can you test this?’ Itold him that we could run itthrough our wet chemistrylab and see what the energynumbers were. The pointbeing that with $7 corn, peo-

ple are looking for other sources of energy or askingthemselves ‘do I feed corn, or don’t I feed corn?’”

The majority of lab work by Stearns DHIA is dairyrelated. Their lab has a “chipper-shredder” machinewhich quickly gives moisture readings on corn stalksbrought in from the field. Amundson said that earson these stalks brought in this fall are much smallerthan last season. Also alfalfa tonnage and quality issuffering the same consequences. “There weren’t anyfive cuts this year; many settled for only three alfalfaharvests but thanks to a couple weeks of Septembersunshine some fourth cutting alfalfa turned outrespectably good.”

Stearns DHIA also tests manure for nutrient qual-ity and he suspects that with poorer quality feedcrops this fall there will be even more interest intesting nutrient values of manure. “Because they’relikely going to spend more money buying feed stuffs,they want to know even more the nutrient value ofthe manure they are spreading back on their fieldsbecause that directly equates to whether they haveto buy more or less commercial fertilizer.”

Looking at all the complications of this difficultcropping season, Amundson said, “It’s a Catch 22 sit-uation and it’s not a good situation for anybody.”

Amundson was interviewed at the recent MinnesotaNutrition Conference in Owatonna, Minn.

Amundson: Many grain qualityissues to look at for 2011 crop

This thing is sodiverse in its geog-raphy, spreading allthe way from NorthDakota to southernMinnesota. It’s just awide open scenario.And where therewas also hail and/orinsect damage therelikely will be somemold and aflatoxinissues also.

By RENAE B. VANDER SCHAAFThe Land Correspondent

SIOUX CENTER, Iowa — Corn earsdrying on racks and a wagon filled withfall vegetables that were a staple inearly pioneering living greeted hun-dreds of visitors to Sioux Center, Iowa’s,Harvest Festival Sept. 16 and 17.

“Friday is our big day,” said Larry TeGrotenhuis, chairman of the HeritageBoard. “This year 750 students from 18schools in northwest Iowa and southernMinnesota and home school studentsvisited on Friday. On Saturday, we seemore of the community in attendance,especially as many of these students areanxious to share the fun with their par-ents.”

Volunteers bring history to life forthese students and others who trulyenjoyed the step back in time. That isexactly what Te Grotenhuis wants tohave happen.

“The purpose of the Harvest Festivalis to make available a historical, educa-tional opportunity,” he said. “We want tobring to life the history of this area. Sothat these students can get a glimpse ofthe hardships their ancestors had toendure and what they had to do just tolive.”

Grace Klein of Sioux Center brings tolife the sewing machine that her grand-parents brought with them from TheNetherlands in 1913. Her mother’s babyclothes were sewn with it. The power for

the machine is supplied by Klein’s righthand as she demonstrates how pioneerwomen would take scraps of materialand sew them into quilts that wereneeded on the cold winter nights. Sheuses a nine-square block pattern for thequilt.

Denny Hoekstra and Syne Wynia, bothof rural Sioux County, said they hadshelled a lot of corn in their lives.Together they showed festival visitorsthe work that was a regular endeavor onpractically every farm.

Shelling corn at the festival occurred atregular intervals both days of the festi-val. Wynia owns the 1920s JD cornsheller that was used. When he bought it15 years ago, it was in great disrepair.

“I bought it because it was old,” he said.Wynia, who owns other older antiquemachinery, restored it to like-new condi-tion. He enjoys demonstrating at the fes-tival as he said the youth really like see-ing this older machinery in action.

Gary Vander Hart of Sioux Center canmake music out of anything, or so itseemed to Erika Schenk, age 10, of SiouxCenter. “One of the instruments heplayed was a wash tub that used a broomstick and sheep intestine,” Schenk said.“Amazing!”

“That was called a cheap man’s baseviolin,” Vander Hart said. He has beendisplaying his collection of folk instru-ments for the last five years at the Her-itage Village. His skillful fingers bring

beautiful music to life on the 15 differentinstruments that he brought that day.Vander Hart also handcrafted many ofthem.

“The most unusual one I have is thecorn stalk fiddle,” he said. “Music wasimportant on the prairie, they learned tomake their own instruments using whatmaterial they had available.” He demon-strated an Aeolian harp with a fan, butnormally the wind harp would be placedin a window or hung outdoors in a tree.

For 12 years now Colleen Van Berkumof Sioux Center has been cooking overthe open fires. On the first day of the fes-tival she was preparing ham and pota-toes, beans and bread in her cast ironpans to complement cabbage, appledessert and egg coffee. This normal earlysettler meal she served to the HeritageBoard and Threshermen Association thatnight for supper.

“The egg coffee is something I learnedfrom the older women who would visitand reminisce,” she said. “The groundsare just thrown into the pot with abeaten egg, the coffee can set on the backof the stove all day, stay hot and never getbitter.”

“Once you taste her cooking done out-doors,” Mark Goesch said, “no other cook-ing will satisfy,”

Stan and Linda Prins operate the elec-tric sawmill, formerly the GerritsmaSawmill, a well-known area business.

Each year there seems to be a projectthat someone wants done. This yearLinda said they were cutting up logs forbenches.

At the blacksmith shop, 17-year-oldMatthew Fedders feels right at home.His enthusiasm for blacksmithingencouraged his parents Mark and AlethaFedders to build a forge right on theirOrange City, Iowa, farm for him. Thatday he took a great deal of pride in shar-ing knowledge with the students andothers who visited the Harvest Festival.

Andrew Van Grouw, fourth grader fromthe Orange City Christian School, reallyappreciated the work that Fedders andWynia did.

“My favorite thing was the blacksmithshop because the flames, metal tools andhammers were so cool,” Van Grouw said.“I also liked how they could make ropejust by turning the crank. I like thesawmill because it makes wood and has ahuge blade.”

Plans are already being made toincrease the historical displays for nextyear. Smaller gas engines were addedthis year and Te Grotenhuis hopes thatincreases next year. He also wants to seemore in the culinary area. A big projectthe Heritage Village has undertaken is tocreate a general store just as it was inearly Sioux Center.

“History doesn’t have to be boring,” TeGrotenhuis said.

* If you desire to tie the tenderloin,cotton kitchen twine (also calledbutcher’s twine) is handy to have onhand for a number of chores, especiallytying tenderloin to help them keeptheir shape during cooking. If you don’thave it, use unwaxed and unflavoreddental floss.

*Roasted red pepper spread or sun-dried tomato pesto, in addition to orsubstituting for the olive spread, alsowork well in this recipe.

Yield: Makes 8 servings, 3 bruschettaeach

Serving suggestions:Sun-dried tomato pesto or eggplant or

red pepper spread can be used insteadof, or in addition to, the black or greenolive spreads. The more spreads, themerrier! This is a versatile appetizerthat goes well with either red or whitewine. Go Italian with Chianti or PinotGrigio, or serve Italian-style cocktails,such as Negronis or Campari andsodas.Nutritional information per serving:Calories: 350Fat: 7gSaturated Fat: 1gCholesterol: 45mgSodium: 730mgCarbohydrates: 44gProtein: 23gFiber: 2g

RECIPES, from pg. 30APork Roast with Yams, Pears andRosemary

1 3 1/2-pound bone-in, center cut loinroast, excess fat trimmed to thin layer*

1 tablespoon olive oil1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary,

plus more for serving (or 1 teaspoon ofdried rosemary)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper2 1/2 pounds (6 medium) yams

(orange sweet potatoes), peeled, andcut lengthwise into sixths

3 firm-ripe Bosc pears, cut length-wise into quarters, cored

1 12-ounce bottle hard cider*Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Rub

pork all over with oil. Mix rosemary, 3/4teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepperin small bowl. Rub all over pork.

Place pork, bone side down, in largeflameproof roasting pan. Roast 15 min-utes. Reduce oven temperature to 350degrees F. Roast 15 minutes more. Addyams and pears to pan, stir gently tocoat with pan juices, and spread asevenly as possible around roast. Sea-son with salt and pepper.

Roast, occasionally stirring yam mix-ture, until instant-read food ther-mometer inserted in center of roastreads 145 degrees F and the potatoesand pears are tender, about 1 hourmore. Transfer pork to carving board.Transfer yam mixture to ovenproofbowl, tent with aluminum foil, andkeep warm in turned-off oven. (Ifneeded, increase oven temperature to400 degrees F, and continue roastingyam mixture until tender, up to 15minutes longer.)

Let pork stand for 10 to 15 minutes.Heat roasting pan over high heat.

Add cider, bring to a boil, scraping upbrowned bits in pan with woodenspoon, and boil until reduced to 3/4 cup,

about 5 minutes. Pour into sauceboat.Carve pork. Transfer to serving plat-

ter, surround with yam mixture, driz-zle with 3 tablespoons of cider sauce,and sprinkle with rosemary. Serve withremaining sauce on the side.

*Tip: If you desire to tie the roast, cot-ton kitchen twine (also called butcher’stwine) is handy to have on hand for anumber of chores, especially tyingroasts to help them keep their shapeduring cooking. If you don’t have it, useunwaxed and unflavored dental floss.

Memorial Park, Marshall, Minn.

“It’s been a phenomenal journey,” said Marc Klaith, Marshall, Minn.,Fire Chief and one of the leaders in bringing about the Memorial

Park that was dedicated on the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attackson Sept. 11. “We’ve had the beam for nine years.”

“The beam” is an eight-foot section of steel from the World Trade Centerthat Craig Schafer saw on a visit to the WTC recovery for the MinnesotaPollution Control Agency. Returning to Marshall he asked Klaith, “If weget one of these beams, can we do something with it?” They envisionedbuilding a memorial at the fire station. Schafer returned to New Yorkwith his pickup and trailer to get a beam.

Community leaders thought the memorial should be more visible. Plan-ning began anew in 2004 with landscape architect Gene Ernst, and thispast Sept. 11, Memorial Park was dedicated in downtown Marshall at thecity’s busiest intersection, U.S. Highway 59 and Minnesota Highway 19.

The memorial met thevision of Klaith andSchafer. They wantedthe beam where peoplecan touch it for personalcontact with the tragedy,but surrounded withgreenery and flowers toshow the continuance oflife after the tragedy,and they wanted a placewhere people can sit andreflect.

Ernst put muchthought and symbolisminto the design. Thebeam leans slightlytoward New York City.There are 10 limestoneblocks and the sculptureof a firefighter that spi-ral around the beam, 11elements for the 11thday of September. A totalof 3,000 paving stoneswith stars honor those who lost their lives that day — 61 blue stars forpolice, 343 red stars for firefighters, 2,596 black stars for civilians.

Two-thirds of the $400,000 cost was funded by corporate sponsors andindividual donations. The city of Marshall came up with the rest. Theacknowledgment of donors is separated from the actual memorial by awalking bridge over the Redwood River, which flows through the park.

Schafer and Klaith’s originally small vision grew into a memorial park.Why such a memorial in Marshall?

“We needed to show respect to the people in New York” and other 9/11sites, Klaith said. “What happened to them could have happened anyplace in the country. It shows we do care out here.”

It is also about telling the story to future generations, he said. Welearned about Pearl Harbor in school. This memorial will be a way to edu-cate children about a day in history that changed our nation.

ST. PETER, Minn. — NicolletCounty sheriff ’s investigator MarcChadderdon knew he was dealing withno ordinary theft case when newsmedia calls began coming from hitherand yon.

Iowa, England, the New York Times— they all wanted apiece of the Great PigPurloin involving hun-dreds of southern Min-nesota market-weighthogs boldly pilfered byrustlers in recentweeks.

The widespread pub-licity also resulted in aslew of tips, some goofy.

“One lady up in Orrwas walking her dognear a cabin and shesaw a black pig with herpiglets and called me.She said, ‘Is this one of theones that was stolen fromthere?’”

No, ma’am, butthank you for yourconcern.

At this pointauthorities andthose in the hogindustry can onlyspeculate about thethieves and howthey’re working thesales logistics of theircrimes.

On Ryan Bode’s Lafayette hogfarm 150 pigs worth $30,000 werestolen, and a few weeks earlier 594valued at more than $100,000 werefilched in nearby Kandiyohi County.Another 200 hogs were taken recentlyfrom three farms in northern Iowa.

“Hot” hogs must be sold swiftly formaximum profit because it wouldn’t beproductive for thieves to lay low andfeed 250-pound animals.

That said, hogs can be driven about12 hours without water, which wouldallow them to be transported afar to besold.

Midwest packers and pig auctionhouses have been given a heads-up tobe wary, but in an industry in whichidentification markings on hogs aren’troutinely applied, ferreting out stolenanimals brought to market becomes

problematic.Bode’s theory is the prevailing one:“It almost has to be somebody who

works in the industry and knows whatthey’re doing to get pigs to market.”

He suggests it could be a farmer des-perate to fulfill a contract to a hogbuyer, or a hog producer simply out to

criminally supplementhis profits.

Nicollet hog producerand Minnesota PorkProducers AssociationPresident Tim Compartthinks the guilty party’sdays are numbered.

“They’ll eventuallyget caught. They’ll tripup some way,” saidCompart, adding thatthe rural communitycan also help by keep-ing tabs on activity atand around hog barns

that typically are isolatedand unstaffed.

“Watch out for yourneighbor. If somethingdoesn’t look right,ask about it.”

Bode, whose fam-ily business raises60,000 pigs annu-ally, said he’s beefed

up security by addingmore alarms to his

facilities and installingheavy wire mesh panels

to backstop the ventilationcurtains the thieves slit to gain

entry.Some producers are installing cam-

eras, and Courtland farmer TimWaibel said he’s augmenting hismotion-sensor barn alarms with someold-fashioned security — locking thedoors.

Chadderdon said his investigationhas included a crash course in themachinations of raising and marketinghogs, which last year sold for about$125 but now fetch about $200. He’salso getting a handle on the types ofpeople who pig rustle.

He said a couple of men werearrested in Iowa awhile back for tryingto sell a trailer-load of pigs at an auc-tion barn that didn’t require contracts.

“One of the guys sent to prison was aproducer, and probably not a very good

one,” Chadderdon said.As for all the media attention, Chad-

derdon said he’s found some of itamusing for all the wry reasons.

The New York Times reporter sent torural Minnesota had never even beenon a gravel road, he said. And her firstexperience with the pungent aroma ofa hog barn left her reeling.

Which may be as good an excuse asany for erroneously reporting one of

Bode’s quotes.Bode told her his stolen pigs by now

are probably “bacon and pork chops.”In the initial version of the Times

article it was written as “baking inpork chops.”

Perhaps greatly driven by increas-ing efforts to reduce feed costs, drieddistillers grains with solubles defi-nitely keep increasing in swinerations.

Because pigs are forgiving animalsthat perform well on many differentfeed combinations, challenges fornutritionists are to identify co-prod-ucts from the corn processing industrythat most economically meet the nutri-tional and energetic needs of swine.

The above comments by Hans Stein, aDanish swine nutritionist now at theUniversity of Illinois, were among sev-eral “take home” points he presented atthe Sept. 20-21 Minnesota NutritionConference in Owatonna. With consider-able interest and emphasis on the“energy content” of feedstuffs, he pointedout that energy is not a nutrient.

When talking corn co-products fedto swine he listed six classes of nutri-ents: protein, carbohydrates, vita-mins, minerals, lipids and water.

“During the production of ethanol,sugars and most of the starch are fer-mented but not the protein, lipids,fiber and the ash in corn,” Stein said.

“These nutrients are instead left in theco-products. The part of the corn ker-nel that is not fermented is often par-tially dehydrated via centrifugationand then split into a distilled grainsfraction and a soluble fraction.”

Dried distillers grains and DDGScontain 9 percent to 14 percent crudefat and between 25 and 30 percentcrude protein. Stein pointed out, how-ever, that a major challenge in feedingDDGS is that it may result in soft bellyand back fat, so reducing the level ofDDGS during the final three to fourweeks prior to slaughter should beconsidered. If the fat concentration inDDGS is less than 9 percent, theenergy value will be reduced whichreduces product value.

Other co-products include high pro-tein distillers drain grain (40 to 42 per-

cent protein), corn germ and corngluten meal. In diets fed to growingpigs, at least 40 percent high proteinDDG can be used and in diets to finish-ing pigs, high protein DDG may replaceall the soybean meal. Also at least 30percent corn germ in diets can be fed togrowing-finishing pigs without impact-ing performance, and corn germ may beincluded with the addition of DDGS.

Stein pointed out that DDGS may beincluded in diets fed to all groups ofpigs and energy values of the diets willnot change, but reductions in dical-cium phosphate or monocalcium phos-phate may be reduced because of thehigh concentrations of digestible phos-phorous in DDGS.

Among Stein’s observations:• DDGS may be up to 30 percent of

diets of all pigs. However for growing

pigs and gestating sows’ diets of45 to 50 percent DDGS respec-tively can be fed without major

changes in animal performance.• DDGS contains 0.7 to 0.9 percent

phosphorus, which has high digestibil-ity.

• High protein DDG may be includedin diets fed to growing pigs by at least40 percent and may replace all the soy-bean meal.

• Corn gluten meal is a high-proteiningredient with high digestibility butsynthetic amino acids (lysine and tryp-tophan) are recommended.

• Feed efficiency may be reduced if corngluten feed or corn germ meal is usedbecause of the low concentration of metab-olizable energy in these ingredients.

“Take the oil out of DDGS and youhave less energy. So increasing thedigestibility of these fibers is the issuefacing nutritionists,” Stein said. “Phy-tase, for example, increases thedigestibility of phosphorous in cornbut has little increase when added toDDGS. However it’s OK to be aggres-sive with DDGS in swine rations if it’seconomical. Based on today’s pricing,30 percent DDGS in the ration equatesto $10 more profit per pig.”

Stein: Up to 50 percent DDGS in swine rations OKHigh ratio only for growing pigs, gestating sows; 30 percent max for others

... it’s OK to be aggressivewith DDGS in swine rationsif it’s economical. Based ontoday’s pricing, 30 percent DDGSin the ration equates to $10 more profit per pig.

— Hans Stein


Michael Brumm says that betterunderstanding how to use the co-products of ethanol manufacturingis a key challenge to the academicworld, feed manufacturers andlivestock producers in their ongo-ing battle to get more value out ofeach dollar spent on feed.

Brumm, as a retired University of Nebraska live-stock nutritionist who now operates NorthMankato, Minn.,-based Brumm Swine ConsultancyInc., has a good idea what he’s talking about.

“Where we’re at today is how can we extract just alittle bit more from every piece of fiber we feed,” hesaid. “And we don’t yet know these answers. Is itmore process engineering by ethanol plants, moreresearch by universities and feed companies, moregenetic manipulation by seed geneticists? Thismuch is obvious, however: with oil prices at $100per barrel, ethanol plants make good money sellingthe ethanol. If oil prices come down, then ethanolplants have to find ways to transfer more income tothe sale of DDGs and other co-products.”

As more co-products are extracted during this fab-rication process, such as “de-oiling” the DDGs, thevalue of the remaining product for the monogastric

animal decreases. You end up with more of thesehigher fiber products from which the pig has a moredifficult time extracting value.

Does this suggest further processing of these DDGfeedstuffs is a way to enhance their value? Brummsaid it depends upon whether the improved perform-ance gains offset the costs of the additional process-ing; and do you increase digestibility enough tomake it worthwhile?

“When you receive the product from the ethanolplant, how processed is it already?” he asked. He saidtremendous variation on DDG feed values still existswithin the ethanol industry, and this often dependsupon what is the “feed” market for a particularethanol plant.

“If the big portion of their DDGs are going into pigdiets, that plant is conscious of that requirement andadjusts its processing accordingly. If it’s going intoruminant diets, dairy or feedlot, then you’re looking

for different quality stan-dards,” Brumm said.

What’s ahead in the cornethanol processing pic-ture? Brumm said they allare investigating removalof corn oil and that’s sim-ply a matter of following

the money.“The fat market today for corn oil, soybean oil, cot-

ton seed oil, peanut oil and vegetable oils of any kindis about 55-cents a pound,” he said. “And with worlddemand constantly increasing for these products, theprice will drive it. So I think they will keep attempt-ing to extract more value at the ethanol plant whichmeans the livestock industry will need to keepadjusting to these variable nutrient values of theDDG feedstuffs.”

He said that the feed business was started by pack-ing plants owning their own feed companies —Hormel Feeds, Morrill, Rath, etc. — because theyhad tremendous amounts of meat and bone meal tohandle. They began selling those products as live-stock supplements, and now it’s the ethanol industrygenerating a new feed industry.

“We’re doing history again with a different feedingredient. And this time it’s the ethanol industrythat has become the new grandfather,” Brumm said.

Ethanol has created a new feed industry — DDGs

Mike Brumm

If the big portion of (an ethanol plant’s) DDGs aregoing into pig diets, that plant is conscious of thatrequirement and adjusts its processing accordingly.

Moderating a morning session of the Sept. 20-21Minnesota Nutrition Conference, Minnesota CornGrowers Association Director Bruce Peterson said,“We believe in the power of research.”

Topics for the morning agenda were the future ofcorn production in the Upper Midwest, obtainingoptimum utilization of dried distillers grains infeedlot diets, corn silage fiber digestibility and useof corn co-products in swine diets.

“With a challenge of producing 70 percent morefood production by 2050 and doing this on less arableland, less water and perhaps less fertilizer, we’vesimply got to embrace technology. We need moreanswers on how to produce more per acre,” he said.

Peterson noted the ongoing changes within theethanol processing industry and how that, in turn,presents some new co-products as feedstuffs for thelivestock industry. “These changes affect our opera-tion personally since we finish out several thousandhogs each year, plus we grow corn and we’re share-holders in an area ethanol plant. So we’re in the fullcycle of corn production, corn processing and cornfeeding.”

His operation near Northfield, Minn., currentlyutilizes DDGS at the 30 percent level in their swinefinishing ration but based on reports shared at thisnutrition conference he’s wondering about higherDDG levels both in finishing and especially for thegestation/lactation periods of the sow operation thatprovides his feeder pigs.

Peterson said the addition of phytase into theDDGS feedstuffs has increased the digestibility ofthe phosphorous ingredient. “We’re seeing a reducedlevel of phosphorous in the hog manure. From anagronomic viewpoint I wouldn’t mind seeing a littlemore phosphorous in the manure, but from an envi-ronmental and water quality issue it’s important. Sothis higher conversion of phosphorous in our swinediets is significant.”

Because of the improved genetics in the swineworld, market weights of 275-plus pounds are fairly

routine these days. “That somewhat depends uponthe packer buyer of your products,” he said, “butthere’s no doubt hogs are finishing leaner and heav-ier than just a few years back. We market to Hormeland finish to their ‘red box’ criteria but some pack-ers do permit a wider range.

“Reflecting on my 4-H and FFA years in the late-’70s, if you had a 280-pound pig it certainly didn’thave the muscular structure and lean backfat oftoday’s hogs. Today’s genetics play a big role.”

That’s verified in better birth weights, biggerweaning numbers per sow, more pigs farrowed persow and significantly better feed efficiency and dailygains. “Granted that all counts,” Peterson said, “butmanagement also has come along big time. Whetherit be a dairy farmer, a cattle feeder, or a hog producerwe’re all just a bit better than we used to be.

“We’ve learned a lot over the past few years how toadopt DDGS into our feeding programs. And at thisyear’s conference we’re also learning more about theadditional co-products of ethanol refining and howthese change the composition of the DDGS. It’s anongoing learning curve that hopefully presentsmore opportunities to save on feed costs as we learnhow to incorporate some of these new ingredientsinto our rations.”

With recent drops in the hog market some of those“black ink” margins were getting squeezed onceagain. Peterson noted the price of corn also droppingso there’s been some realignment of the profit pic-ture for producing pork.

Reflecting on the financial challenges of the pastthree to four years, he doubts the recent profitability

will generate any significant expansion of hog num-bers. “Running a farrowing facility is somewhat likerunning a small factory. You’ve got a certain amountof overhead expense whether you are at full capac-ity, or something less. We may not be seeing newhog finishing barns being built for awhile, but goingforward there’s still going to be a strong demand forpork, if not domestically, then certainly in otherparts of the world where people are seeing betterincomes and wanting to eat better.

“I think there’s big potential for world demand formeat to keep increasing. We’re a protein-hungryworld and meat products can help fill that demand.We’re exporting around 25 percent of our U.S. porkproduction. I know the Asian markets — particu-larly Japan, Korea and China — are key customersfor U.S. pork. China is still the No.1 pork producingcountry in the world but they can’t meet their owndemand anymore.”

Peterson said ethanol gets an unfair rap fromthose people who don’t think a feed grain should beused to provide fuel. “But these folks don’t know, ordon’t care to acknowledge, that a huge portion ofthat corn going into the ethanol market also pro-vides feedstuffs for the U.S. livestock industry.

“On a per-weight basis, about one-third of all thatcorn going to ethanol mills comes back to the farmsas feed products for livestock. And that, in turn,then displaces millions of bushels of corn thatwould otherwise be fed directly into the livestockindustry. So when you include the tonnage ofDDGS feed usage is still easily the No. 1 usage forcorn.”

Finishing barns are on a 19-week turn in theiroperation, somewhat depending upon both farrow-ing and finishing schedules within the variousbarns. But weather and growth rates are also prob-lematic at times. That means seven to 10 days aretypical for clean-out time before barns are refilled.

Four families make a full-time living off thePeterson hog and crop farming operations. They’rerunning about 6,000 acres with about three-fourthsof those acres now growing corn as a hedge againsthigher feed costs.

Whether it be a dairyfarmer, a cattle feeder,or a hog producer,we’re all just a bit bet-ter than we used to be.

Bruce Peterson


With 29 presenters covering nutri-tional issues of all livestock species,including horses, the Sept. 20-21 Min-nesota Nutrition Conference, pre-sented by the University of Min-nesota Department of Animal Scienceand the Minnesota Extension Service,did indeed touch many bases.

Speakers from across North Amer-ica shared their latest concepts on

livestock feeding to an audience of feedindustry professionals. The growingrole of dried distillers grain feedstuffs,

with questions about the digestibilityof co-products of the ethanol industry,captured lots of attention.

Perhaps complicating nutritionissues this fall are growing concernsabout the variability of feed quality. Isthe nutrient quality of DDG feedschanging over time as ethanol proces-sors capture more of the various ingre-dients of that kernel of corn?

“Yes, it’s changing over time becauseethanol plants are now extracting dif-ferent fractions from the corn,” saidLee Johnston, research nutritionist atWest Central Research and OutreachCenter at Morris, Minn. He indicatedit’s incumbent upon the producer toknow what product he is feeding.

“A DDG is not necessarily a DDG,”Johnston said. “These values differfrom ethanol plant to ethanol plant, sobest procedure is to get nutrient analy-ses from each plant that you buy prod-uct from. The product may carry thesame label from each plant but thenutrient content often differs.

“Perhaps it’s good to work with feedcompanies to get their data ondigestible amino acid contents, fat con-tent and other key ingredients for var-ious DDGS providers. As a livestockproducer, your primary goal with anyfeedstuffs is to get the best value out ofthat product.”

Johnston is concerned about poten-tial issues with grain quality this fall.“There’s always variation in feedstuffsbut extra effort may be needed to man-age around the variables of feed qual-ity this fall. As we get into harvest,farmers will be seeing tremendousvariation even within the same field.So the first issue I’d be concernedabout is what’s the mycotoxin loadgoing to be. Will we get a good, dryquick harvest or will it be a wet,drawn-out harvest which simply opensthe door to more quality issues?

“We will be concerned about thenutrient value in terms of proteinquality, amino acid quality and con-tent. It likely means a great amount oflab analysis to find out exactly whatyou have. The variation will be wide-spread; hopefully there are enough

good spots in these fields to balanceout the problem areas. But samplingthis year becomes even more criticalbecause of these extremes.

“You just can’t go out there and graba couple samples and expect that tofairly represent the real world. That’sparticularly critical when testing formycotoxins. So multiple samplingusing good procedures will be vital andthat means sub-sampling and blend-ing to get a true measure.”

With sow lactation diets he’s per-fectly OK with DDGs now making up30 percent, or even more, of the totalration. But if mycotoxins are an issue,then careful screening including aneffective binder and reducing the DDGportion is advisable.

In finishing rations it used to be astretch to talk 20 percent DDGs in thediet. “But today nobody even blinkstheir eye at 30 percent levels, even 40percent and higher,” Johnston said,“depending upon the economics of thattotal ration formulation. That’s start-ing to stretch the envelope because ofimpact on fat quality.”

Johnston indicated research to dateshows high DDG levels don’t impacttaste, marbling or color. “But our con-cern is with the firmness of the fat. Getreally high distillers levels, you getsofter fat. The more distillers we put inafter reaching that 20 percent level,it’s a straight line increase in softerfat. Some packers are raising someconcerns about this issue.”

So what to do to firm up that pork faton high distillers diets? Lessen theDDG content in the ration in late fin-ishing stage (three to four weeks) isthe more practical. But producers hesi-tate to make that move because itlessens the economic advantage. Hissuggestion would be that if you’re inthat 35 to 40 percent DDG of totalration, drop down to 20 percent forthose last three to four weeks of thatfinishing period. He indicated differentethanol plants could offer DDG oflower fat content because they arefractionating some of that extra cornoil out of the kernel.

“What you are trying to do is reducethe unsaturated fat content (corn oil)in the late finishing period,” Johnstonsaid. “There are some other productssuch as CLA that improve fat firm-ness; even crude glycerol mightimprove fat firmness. So there aresome tools to work with on managingthis fat firmness. Reducing iodine val-ues of carcass fat is the objective.”

DDG nutrient content a greater concern this yearTH

Lime Spreading“Have you checked your soil PH lately”

Advantages we offer:• We unload directly from the trucks to a floater

(Terra Gator) without stockpiling material.This gives us a more uniform spread with nofoliage to plug up the spreader.

• With direct loading there is no stockpile, nowasted lime or mess in your field.

• We use a floater (Terra Gator) to spread sowe have less compaction.

• We are equipped to spread variable rate usingGPS mapping.

• We service Minnesota and northern Iowa.Why apply Aglime:• A soil ph level of 5.5 nitrogen efficiency is only

77 percent.• A soil ph level of 6.0 nitrogen efficiency still is

only 89 percent.• At a soil ph level of 7.0 fertilizer efficiency is

100 percent.Woodford Ag
