Farmfest, taking place Aug. 2-4, is loom-ing closer here at The Land. Like the sen-ior prom, preparations have been under-way for a while; but with the actual dateclosing in, last-minute details are stillbeing addressed.

This will be my first Farmfest and I feellike I’m being prepped for surgery. Peoplewho have had the surgery before, gener-ally fall into two camps. The “piece ofcake” folks say Farmfest is a walk in thepark. Nothing to worry about. You’ll loveit. Then there is the “doom and gloom”camp. It’s hot. The days are long. You’llwalk for miles.

I suspect the truth will lie somewherein between and I am actually looking forward to theevent. But the truth be told, Farmfest seems insignif-icant right at this moment.

The dog days of summer are not yet upon us, but theheat is on. Racial tensions are teetering. Death andsenseless killing continues to rock this country and arecent chapter hit pretty close to home. During a July6 traffic stop in Falcon Heights, Minn., PhilandoCastile was fatally shot by a St. Anthony police officer.The occurrence came on the heels of a July 5 incidentin Baton Rouge, La. where Alton Sterling was killedby a police officer outside of a convenience store. OnJuly 7, five Dallas police officers were killed by asniper during a rally protesting the above two events.

All three of these incidents were accompanied bydisturbing video — either of the events themselves, orin the Castile case, provided by a witness directlyafter the shooting. But while a picture tells a thou-sand words, the videos do not tell the whole story. Thepublic can never be certain what words wereexchanged, how those words were delivered, or thescores of minute details which presented themselvesin rapid-fire succession during a moment of intensity.

Void of reason, we seem to be scrambling to makesense of the insanity. Gov. Mark Dayton quickly metbefore the media and said police wouldn’t have shotCastile if he had been white. Given the timing andthe mood of the black community, Dayton’s state-ment was surprising and quite un-governor-like. Iwould expect Donald Trump to say something ofthose lines, but not milquetoast Mark.

Protestors shut down about five miles of InterstateHighway 94 on Saturday, marching and shoutinginto the night — symbolically and literally headingin no particular direction.

To make matters worse, marchers protested theviolence with violence; 27 police officers and trooperswere injured by thrown rocks, bottles and fireworks.One officer suffered a broken vertibrae when some-

one dropped a cinder block on him froman overpass.

Blame the people, blame the guns,blame society — there is plenty of blameto be found and distribute. Blame is apoor salve for wounds which will not heal.

Is daily death our new reality? Let’stake July 8, 2016 as an example. Min-neapolis: A 2-year-old child is killed aftertwo groups exchanged gunfire in the mid-dle of the day. San Bernardino, Calif.: Twomen and a 9-year-old boy were killed by a

gunman outside of a liquor store. Beebe,Ark.: An 18-month-old died of a gunshotwound in his home.

These are children, folks. There’s no racial motive,no revenge factor, no Taliban, no Isis. It is senselesskilling and it has to stop.

But how? Gun supporters and gun haters canargue all day about freedom and constitutionalrights. Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.Make guns illegal and only the criminals will haveguns. Sound familiar?

Can new laws turn our country around when thecurrent laws are routinely ignored? Has the chasmbetween law enforcement and the public become toowide to bridge? Will we continue to slide down achute of fear to the point where we can no longerwalk the street in broad daylight or go to a movie orrestaurant?

It might be tempting in our rural setting to look atthese incidents as “big city problems”. But it is notthe acts themselves which are the danger.

“It’s impossible to see that (Castile) video and notbe shocked and disturbed,” said Minnesota StateRepresentative Keith Ellison, “but unfortunately, Ihave seen this horrific scene too many times to bethoroughly shocked.”

Maybe Ellison hit the nail on the head. Can wesustain outrage over fatal violence for weeks,months, years? Can we continue to be distraught bya cafeteria supervisor being shot to death in his carduring a traffic stop when a few miles away a 2-year-old is killed in crossfire three days later? I’m wor-ried. How numb can we get?

Perhaps this is the new phase of society. We lock ourdoors at night. There are surveillance cameras at thefeed mill. We use attorneys instead of handshakes.Your neighborhood police officer walking the beat nowwears a helmet, Kevlar armor and is heavily armed.

INSIDE THIS ISSUE

LAND MINDS

By Paul Malchow

For years, we Americans have been per-fecting the art of non-action action. Itbegan about a generation ago with thenon-apology apology: “If I offended you, Iapologize.” Later we moved on to the non-committal commitment: “I’ll be thereunless I get a better offer.”

Now, courtesy of Congress, our non-leg-islating legislature, we might soon be buy-ing non-label labeled food.

Congress reached this state of highernon-ness by carefully noting what theAmerican public overwhelmingly andrepeatedly has said it wants: country oforigin labeling for meat and poultry andthe labeling of all food that containsingredients derived from genetically modi-fied organisms before choosing to do just the oppo-site.

In 2015, the U.S. House of Representatives tackledthe public’s GMO labeling demand by punting. Itvoted 275-to-150 in favor of voluntary GMO labeling.In the Land of Non, voluntary labeling means, ofcourse, almost everyone will voluntarily not labelfood that contains GMOs.

Not to be outdone by the non-labeling labelers inthe House, the U.S. Senate finally awakened to act

on June 29 when it easily approved (68-to-29) a procedural vote to move its compli-cated GMO labeling bill to a full Senatevote.

Unlike the House’s voluntary non-labeling standard though, the Senate

bill contains a mandatory labeling stan-dard — albeit one with more dodges in it than a usedcar lot. The shiniest clunker is something the Senatechose to call the “bioengineered food disclosure sys-tem.”

The name alone is certain evidence that Big Food’slawyers and Big Ag’s lobbyists have already washed,rinsed, and waxed the pending bill to ensure it con-tains the highest possible level of effective ineffec-tiveness. With this outside help, anti-governmentgovernment insiders reshaped the Senate bill intopure shapelessness.

For example, under the Senate language, largefood companies have three options to label anyGMO ingredients contained in their products.

First, explains the National Sustainable Agricul-ture Coalition, the companies can place a “barcodeor QR code” (a quick response code) on its foodlabels. Those codes however, “require consumers (to)use a smartphone to find more information about aproduct.”

So no smart phone, no food info. That’s so dumb,it’s clever.

Second, a company can use “a symbol on the pack-age” to denote its contents are GMO. What symbol?The one “to be created by U.S. Department of Agri-culture.” That shouldn’t take long, eh?

Or, third, the food company can place “an actualon-package statement that the product containsGMOs.” A simple, uncomplicated label? Brilliant!

Critics of the Senate bill quickly point out how-ever, that most food companies will choose the firsttwo, less transparent labeling loopholes for non-labeling labels; and few, if any, would choose toopenly label.

The Food and Drug Administration also sees trou-ble in the Senate bill because it gives new food

Senate GMO legislation enacts ‘non-label labeled food’

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota farmers nowhave access to a new program which makes tractorsafety equipment more affordable and simple toorder. The Minnesota Department of Agriculturekicked off its ROPS Rebate Program.

The program reimburses farmers and schools atleast 70 percent of the cost of purchasing, shipping,and installing a rollover protection kit — a roll barand seatbelt — limiting applicants’ cost per tractorto no more than $500. It also provides help to farm-

ers with identifying and pricing the appropriaterollover kits for their tractors.

According to U.S. Department of Labor statistics,tractor overturns remain the leading cause of farmerfatalities. Meanwhile roll bars and seat belts are 99percent effective in preventing death and seriousinjury in the event of a rollover says New York Cen-ter for Agricultural Medicine and Health.

“This new ROPS Rebate program will save lives

and reduce serious injuries in Minnesota as farmersstep forward to participate in the program,” saidMinnesota Agriculture Commissioner Dave Freder-ickson.

The program is the result of a public private part-nership with the state contributing $250,000 andprivate donations provided by Cargill, CHS, Inc.,ADM, and Land O’Lakes.

Call toll-free (877) 767-7748 for more informationor to register for a rollover kit.

Rebates available for tractor roll bars, seatbelts

GUEBERT, from pg. 3labeling authority to the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture “that is otherwiseunder FDA’s sole regulatory jurisdiction…”

For example, explains a FDA “Technical Assis-tance memo” that dissects the Senate Bill, “We notethat (a) provision to allow information regardingthe GE,” or genetically engineered, “content of foodto be present only in an electronically accessibleform (the barcode and QR code exceptions in thebill) and not on the package label would be in ten-

sion with FDA’s statute and regulations,which require disclosures on foodlabels.”

Tension, indeed.Also, notes the FDA memo, “The definition of ‘bio-

engineering” used in the Senate bill “would be some-what narrow” and likely mean that many foods fromGE sources will not be subject to this bill…”

That’s not an accident. It is, in fact, exactly whatyou would do if you want to write a non-labeling

label law that, first, doesn’t conform to current lawand, second, will likely never become law.

But that’s the trick in running a non-legislatinglegislature, right? If you actually do anything, itmust — by definition — end up doing exactly noth-ing.

Weeds weekevent focuseson resistance To the Editor:

Genetically modified organisms label-ing, like most everything man comes upwith, is half right and half wrong. That is whatallows us to exist. It seems to be a good topic for themedia and a good unsolvable topic for politics to talkabout avoiding real life problems. I think I'm GMOas my dad was Swede and my mom was French.

For some, the label would be important to avoidthe food, and for others, it would be a blessing assome of the chemicals we used to use we no longeruse or a lot less. That ends the reaction some get

from the chemicals we used to use.Labeling is a very small problem in the

whole scope of GMO.I've read that it is possible now for science to fer-

tilize the eggs in a dish and check the DNA, allow-ing the end to a deadly or crippling inherited prob-lem forever. To me what to do goes back to the Billof Rights and the Ten Comandments. It's not thewords or action that's important, it is the responsi-bility and respect with those words or actions.Lester RydeenMarine on St. Croix, Minn.

Iowa’s Governor wants people to read the Bibleevery day until the Lord comes, which he wroteabout in his “Land Minds” column published in theJune 17 issue.

I would suggest that the world may be better offwithout all the hell these Bible-thumpers have

brought to this earth if they held their breath untilthe Lord comes.

One thing I do agree with Mr. Hagen on is, I hopeour young people do turn out to vote. It’s perfectlyobvious who would be president if they had theirway. And it wouldn’t be some Bible-thumper.Tommy StilesHenning, Minn.

The New Richland Care Center in Min-nesota opened its doors in 1975, and in1981 the residents and staff put out a littlered cookbook to “celebrate the traditions ofthe good ole days, which remain a strongpart of this community”. Judy Tweetenprovided custom artwork, and the resultwas a perfect small-town time capsule ofwhat folks were “into” eating back then.Here’s a few favorites from the “New Rich-land Care Center Cookbook” rescued fromNorth Mankato’s New 2 You Thrift Shop.

Midwestern coffee cakes helped powergenerations of farm folk and other hardtoilers, and sweetened the coffee breaks ofuntold numbers of office workers. Thisrecipe is “down pat” as they say. If you likeyours with fruit, add it between layers.Baking Powder Coffee CakeSubmitted by Norelle Wood

1 cup sugar1/2 cup shortening1 teaspoon vanilla2 eggs, beaten1 cup milk2 cups flour3 teaspoons baking powder1/4 teaspoon saltTopping:Mix together:1 cup brown sugar2 tablespoons flour

1 teaspoon cinnamon2 tablespoons melted butter1/2 cup chopped walnutsCream shortening, sugar and vanilla, then add

eggs and beat thoroughly. Add dry ingredients alter-nately with milk. Spread half of batter in 9x13-inchpan. Cover with half of topping. Add remaining bat-ter and cover with remaining topping. Bake at 350 Ffor 25 to 30 minutes.

■

Although the recipe for Deep Dish Chicken Pie callsfor sautéing fresh veggies, as it says at the end, this isreally a nice method to use up leftovers. So if you haveleftover vegetables, by all means use them instead.But fresh veggies are quite nice as well. So either wayis good.

Deep Dish Chicken PieSubmitted by Renae Berg

1 cup chopped carrots1 cup chopped onion1 cup chopped celery1 cup chopped green pepper1/2 cup pimiento (optional)Sauté vegetables in 4 tablespoons butter

on low heat in a covered pan. When tender,remove from heat and add:

4 cups cooked turkey or chicken (cubed)2 cans cream of chicken soup1 cup peasPour into a 9x13-inch pan.Top with crust:Combine 3 cups Bisquick and enough milk

to make a stiff dough. May roll out on flouredboard, or take small amount of dough at atime and flatten with hand. Place on top ofchicken mixture. You may top crust with onebeaten egg and 1 tablespoon water andsprinkle with 2-3 tablespoons of sesame

seeds.Bake at 375 F for 30 to 40 minutes or until crust is

golden and filling bubbles. This recipe is a good wayto use leftover chicken or turkey and vegetables.

Today is July 5. Boats aretrailered home, the candyfavorites from the paradestash have been consumed,and all things IndependenceDay are on clearance. And Iwonder if the lengthy week-end provided more thanmemories for you and yours.

Our small town is big oncelebrating the Fourth. Andone of the annual traditionsis a patriotic program. Thisyear’s gathering includedconversations with a panel of veteransfrom WWII (via a video), Vietnam Warand recent wars. And as they sharedslivers of their vast experiences, I waswashed fresh with gratitude for ourservice men, women, and their families.

They sacrificed much. Some gave all.The sights, sounds and smells of warare woven into the fabric of their lifeand memories. Part of their service wasroutine, even mundane. Other seg-ments were too hard to put to words,and even if they could, they may stillchoose silence.

The panel of veterans testified whatbrought them through was faith in

God, the prayers of the com-munity, and a fierce loyaltyto their country and theirunit. They had oneanother’s backs and ours,too.

There are times we get it.We get a lump in our throatwhen fireworks light up thesky to the sounds of “TheStar-spangled Banner,”“America the Beautiful,”and “God Bless America.”We see color guard walking

in precision and pride. We meet Ameri-can heroes and our hearts swell withgratitude for freedom and this greatland.

And other times we are clueless. Forsome, this Fourth of July was nothingmore than a party day and an extendedweekend from the workplace. And yetmen and women on our soil and acrossthe ocean still have our backs. Regard-less of the support military personnelmay or may not receive, they are will-ing to lay down their lives so otherscan have life in this land.

We don’t have to search long or far tosee apathy and indifference toward our

nation’s freedom or division and hatewithin our borders. But for those whohave eyes to see the brokenness, wehave a choice. And I can’t think of abetter choice than to pray.

If you’re looking for words to do justthat, Michael Card’s song, “Heal OurLand” is a good place to begin. Onestanza sings, “Unite our hearts in oneaccord and make us hungry for Yourpeace and burdened for the poor. Andgrant us hope that we might see, thefuture for the land, our life, our liberty.”

Grain AnglesRevenue Protection

The June 30 U.S. Department of Agriculture sup-ply-demand reports, acreage reports and weekly cropprogress reports certainly build a case for plentifulsupplies of new crop corn. The USDA raised itsplanted acres of corn estimates to 94.1 million acresand increased the supply of old crop corn to nearly200 million bushels more thanexpected. The weekly crop rat-ings also show very few reasonsto be bullish on corn at this time.The market has been looking atimproving weather forecasts andhas punished the corn price sincemid-June — inflicting a nearly 20percent drop.

Soybean increased to 83.7 mil-lion acres, which is slightly lessthan the trade expected. Thequarterly stocks, similar to corn,showed an increase of nearly 36million bushels. Soybean volatil-ity continues as the trade weighs fundamental news,bullish enthusiasm from currency fluctuations andLa Niña-related weather concerns from the UnitedStates and South America.New Crop Corn

December corn futures prices recently have been 5to 10 percent lower than our established spring cropinsurance price in the upper Midwest. Differentstrategies for hedging are needed, depending onwhere you believe the outcome of your final yield willbe. The spring price was set at $3.85 per bushelunder the revenue protection plan of the multi-perilcrop insurance policy. For producers with high levelsof crop coverage and average or below average yields,they are approaching this guaranteed revenue. In

Grain OutlookNew contract lows in corn

The following marketing analysis is for the weekending July 8.

CORN — New contract lows in the corn marketwere set this week as funds exited long positionswhen weather was not perceived to be a threat tothe crop. Heat is forecasted toreturn in the last half of Julyand timely rains are also in theoutlooks. Moisture over the pastweek has been beneficial andgave the crop and market somebreathing room for anythingunexpected. December corn mayhave left $4.00 in the rearviewmirror for the balance of thesummer, unless the water shutsoff and a ridge develops to traphigh temperatures over the crop.The crash in prices shut offgrower sales, but domestic basislevels have firmed.

Conab, the government supply agency in Brazil,dropped its safrinha crop estimate from 50 millionmetric tons to 43 mmt! Conab’s total corn crop esti-mate fell to 69.14 mmt from 76.22 mmt. Conab’snumber is based on yield reports from growers andis not survey-based. The U.S. Department of Agricul-ture last month was at 77.5 mmt. A news service’ssurvey showed expectations for first crop cornacreage in Brazil to increase 3.5 percent this fall,the first increase in five years. Safrinha acreage isforecasted to rise 7.5 percent, slightly higher thanthe five-year average.

Weekly export sales, released a day late due to theFourth of July holiday, were below expectations andthe lowest since January at 14.6 million bushels for

Livestock AnglesMarket favorslower prices

It seems that nothing much has changed over thepast several weeks in the livestock markets. Both thecattle and hogs struggle to maintain their currentprice levels but it appears the momentum is continu-ing to favor lower prices in the weeks ahead.

For example, in the cattle mar-ket, prices had moved higher fora week again only to drop backthe following week. A patternwhich has been repeated severaltimes this spring. This indicatesthe continuing struggle betweensupply and demand is still aliveand well. The fact that more cat-tle will be available as weprogress through the year doesnot bode well from a supply pointof view.

The continued slow movementof beef is of great concern to theprospect of higher cattle prices into the fall months.For example, the week following the Fourth of Julyweekend, beef movement was extremely light consid-ering this is a popular grilling weekend — indicatingslow demand for beef products. Once again the com-petition for animal protein appears to follow theretail price of the product; which at this time favorsthe chicken, pork and turkey on a dollar per poundbasis. Until this disparity in price between the com-petitive meats is resolved, it would suggest that cat-tle prices will be hard to maintain any significantlong-term rallies in price.

Producers are recommended to monitor marketconditions and protect inventories when available.

The hog market now appears to be in the process of

NYSTROM, from pg. 8old crop and 17.5 million bushels fornew crop. Total sales commitments forold crop are 1.86 billion bushels, which is above theUSDA’s forecast for 1.825 billion bushels. Keep inmind it is normal for some old crop sales to getpushed into new crop. Total commitments for newcrop are 216 million bushels compared to 126.7 mil-lion on the books last year at this time. Weeklyethanol production tumbled 19,000 barrels per dayto 984,000 bpd, but stocks grew by 400,000 barrels to21.6 million barrels. Since the beginning of the mar-keting year, annualized corn grind has been 5.190billion bushels. The USDA is predicting 5.25 billionbushels. We may not see the USDA reduce theethanol line on the July report, but it looks like itshould be.

The ending stocks trade estimates for the July12 World Agricultural Supply and Demand Esti-mates report: 2015-16 1.807 billion bushels vs. 1.708billion last month and 2016-17 at 2.213 billionbushels vs. 2.008 billion estimated last month. Thepre-report trade estimate for 2016 production is14.523 billion bushels using a yield of 168 bushelsper acre. Corn this year is off to a great start. As ofJuly 3, it has maintained its 75 percent good/excel-lent rating for five weeks in a row. This is the secondbest rating in the last 12 years for this time in thegrowing season.

OUTLOOK: December corn has collapsed from itsrecent high on June 17 at $4.49 to this week’s newcontract low of $3.46 per bushel, a $1.03 decline in12 trading sessions. The bottom of the gap left whentraders returned from watching the fireworks at$3.65.75 will act as resistance. Next support lies atthe contract low at $3.46 with next support at $3.33

per bushel, the recent low on the con-tinuous chart. For the week, Septem-

ber corn fell a nickel to $3.55 perbushels and the December contract declined 4.5cents to close at $3.62.5 per bushel. To sum up themarket, watch the weather forecasts for price direc-tion.

SOYBEANS — The soybean market collapsed thisweek without an overhanging weather threat andfund selling ensued. Last week’s stocks and acreagereport had been perceived as slightly friendly sincethe numbers were slightly different than tradeexpectations, and the market rallied. As reality setin and the numbers were reviewed, it could be thatperception was reconsidered. In post-holiday trad-ing, meal closed limit down, which meant the entiresoy complex had expanded limits on July 6. Theexpanded limits went untested.

We will see how the market reacts when the Julybalance sheets are released on July 12. The averageestimate for 2015-16 ending stocks is 357 millionbushels vs. 370 million last month; 2016-17 endingstocks at 295 million bushels compared to 260 mil-lion on last month’s report. The trade estimate forthis year’s crop is 3.876 billion bushels using a 46.75bushels per acre yield. As of July 3, beans were rated70 percent good/excellent. While down 2 percent forthe week, it was still the second highest rating in 13years for this week.

Weekly export sales were at the upper end of pre-report estimates with 23.4 million bushels of oldcrop sales and 21.5 million bushels for new crop. Oldcrop total commitments at 1.995 billion bushels arewell above the USDA’s 1.76 billion bushel projection.However, outstanding old crop soybean sales are 366million bushels, an obscene amount with only nine

weeks left in the marketing year. Going back 35years, the largest unshipped number at this point inthe marketing year was only 186 million bushels.Shipments of late have only been enough to assumewe’ll meet the USDA projection. New crop commit-ments now total 279.2 million bushels compared to233.1 million last year.

OUTLOOK: The fall from grace in soybeans hasbeen spectacular. From the high of $11.86.5 on June13 to this week’s low of $10.21, November soybeanslost $1.65.25 per bushel. The gap left from July 1 toJuly 5 from $11.36.25 to $11.20 will act as resist-ance. First support is the 10-day moving averagewhich coincides with psychological support at$10.00 per bushel. This week, November soybeanswere down 79.75 cents to settle at $10.57.75 perbushel. The June National Oilseed Processors Asso-ciation crush report will be released July 15.

Nystrom’s Notes: Contract changes for the weekending July 8: September Chicago wheat was 4.75cents higher, Minneapolis was up a penny andKansas City rallied 9.75 cents. The energy marketswere sharply lower with crude oil down $3.76 at$45.41, ULSD down 10.75 cents, RBOB 15 centslower and natural gas off 18.75 cents. The U.S. dol-lar as of July 8 was up .632. ❖

Soybean market collapses; fund selling follows

WACHTLER, from pg. 8this case, a flexible marketing plan that allows forlifting hedges below the insurance guarantee may bepreferable to aggressive cash sales.

For producers who are anticipating a very largecrop on their farm, or have a lower insurance level,there is still some work to be done in order to hedgeyour price. Options strategies may work and stilllead to some up-side potential and a chance to beprofitable. Cash forward contracts can reduce therisk of lower prices and widening basis in areaswhere large yields are common. Be sure to keep inmind your insurance guarantee and your potentialyield in the field when making your decisions. Theremay be an opportunity to lock in some of the gainsfrom options, if prices turn lower than your cropinsurance guarantee.New Crop Soybeans

Soybean prices have surprised almost everyonethis marketing year. Higher prices were needed toencourage producers to plant acres. South Americanyield concerns, currency fluctuations and the threatof La Niña add to the volatility in soybeans. Localsoybean prices for the October new crop are gener-ally above break-even levels with average yields.

The trade will be watching weather closely asAugust approaches, which is regarded as the “makeor break” month for U.S. soybean yields. Prices forsoybeans are nearing $2 above our spring crop insur-ance price of $8.86 per bushel. Producers with cropinsurance losses may receive a higher fall price for

those insurable bushels lost, but realistically, theinsurance is not providing a strong safety net basedon price alone. Look for basis opportunities or usesmall price rallies to lock in new crop cash sales asthe trade is waiting to assess the new crop yields.Small fluctuations in final yield may lead to rela-tively large swings in price. At this point, it will bevery difficult to out-guess the market. Being neitherright nor wrong about the upcoming market meansa hedger should have a significant portion of newcrop soybeans sold as we approach August.

Always remember to make the best use of yourrevenue protection plan when marketing. Currenthedging opportunities will mean you should neverhave to take less than the total crop insurance guar-antee for your farm.

The following marketing analysis isfor the week ending July 8.

The National Milk Producers Feder-ation updated its Margin ProtectionProgram website. Dairy producersmay visit www.futurefordairy.com fornew materials to assist them in con-sidering enrollment in the third yearof the federal dairy safety net pro-gram. The enrollment period officiallyopened July 1 and ends Sept. 30, 2016,for coverage in calendar year 2017.Farmers already participating in theprogram can also change their cover-age level during this three-month win-dow.

The MPP provides financial assis-tance to participating producers whenthe margin, the difference between theprice of milk and feed costs, fallsbelow a coverage level selected by theproducer. Dairy farmers can insuretheir farms on a sliding scale between$4 and $8 per hundredweight, decid-ing both how much of their productionhistory to cover, and the level of mar-gin to protect. The program, created inthe 2014 farm bill, “offers more exten-sive coverage for low-margin condi-

tions than previous pro-grams,” NMPF says.

NMPF president and CEOJim Mulhern stated; “Thepoor margins in the firsthalf of 2016 demonstratethat the Margin ProtectionProgram can play an impor-tant role in helping Amer-ica’s dairy farmers managetheir financial risks. Whilewe continue to examineways to improve the pro-gram in the future,farmers need to care-fully consider their riskmanagement coverage options in 2017.”

■

The Senate, by a vote of 63 to 30,approved the Roberts-Stabenow foodbiotechnology labeling bill, whichNMPF says will “help preserve theability of farmers to use safe, provenagricultural biotechnology tools whileproviding consumers more informationabout their food.”

“This compromise measure will helpresolve the marketplace confusion thathas already erupted as a result of the

Vermont law, with thou-sands of products set to dis-appear from store shelvesbecause companies no longerwish to do business in thatstate,” NMPF said in a pressrelease. The InternationalDairy Foods Association alsopraised the bill which mustbe quickly reconciled withthe House bill passed lastyear, or the House agrees to

the Senate bill, and thePresident signs it. Con-gress begins a seven-week recess starting

July 15.■

Global dairy hopes received a setbackthis week as the Global Dairy Tradeauction saw the weighted average forall products offered inch back 0.4 per-cent after holding steady on June 15and jumping 3.4 percent on June 1 and2.6 percent May 17.

Central region cheese production waspicking up in the Fourth of July weekaccording to USDA’s Dairy MarketNews. Several manufacturers tookadvantage of the holiday weekend andbrought in additional milk. Those notlooking to fill schedules are seeing adrop in milk production for their con-tracted loads, but still feel milk intakesare sufficient for the level of productionthey are at.

Dairy Market News adds that compo-nents are beginning to drop as temper-atures and humidity rise; but proces-sors have yet to see a change in yields.Some cheese manufacturers were “opti-mistic this week, showing less reserva-tion about running full productionschedules. This may be attributed toreports of growing sales following theholiday weekend. Numerous manufac-turers report increased calls from buy-ers seeking additional loads of cheese.However, a few of these producers donot have the additional cheese stocksto sell and are having to turn downpotential sales.” Other participantscontinue to manage long inventories ofaged cheese varieties, according toDairy Market News, and cheese curdsales are seeing seasonal growth insales.

Milk in the west region remains plen-tiful, keeping cheese production stableand strong, according to Dairy MarketNews. “The current cheese level in coldstorage continues to be heavy. Invento-ries are mixed. Some manufacturerslowered stocks when market priceswere lower. However, available storage

Hog numbers appear tobe increasing and pork cut outs havereached a level where pork movementhas shown signs of resistance by theretailers to these higher prices. Sincethe beginning of July, the Lean HogIndex has been lower each day — sug-gesting the packer margins weretightening and numbers of availablehogs were increasing.

With adequate cold storage suppliesand a strong U.S. dollar, the outlookfor increased sales in the United

States and abroad would appear to bedecreasing, leaving a potential over-supply problem. With this in mind, theprospects for continued strength in hogmarket seems to be waning. Thus thepossibility of further advancement of alarge magnitude seems remote at thistime. The fact that the futures marketnow reflects weakness ahead by thepresent discounts in all the contractsreflects the trades feelings of the out-look for hog prices.

MIELKE, from pg. 10space for additional cheese is becom-ing harder to find. Older commoditycheese is becoming more difficult to move, especiallywith the growing inventory.”

Dairy Market News adds that “The decent demandfor fresh commodity cheese from buyers is making iteconomically feasible to keep production stable.There is good domestic demand for readily consum-able cheese. Prices have increased heading into thethird quarter, and some producers are assuming thedomestic demand will hold and carry on into the fallseason. Foreign inquiries are weak as the value ofthe U.S. dollar grows, making cheese exports lessattractive.”

Cash butter headed south this week, closing July 8at $2.2825 per pound. This is down 6.75 cents on theweek, but still 36.25 cents above a year ago. Only onecarload traded hands on the week at the CME.

Midwest butter production varied this week,according to Dairy Market News. “Several manufac-turers chose to capitalize on more readily-availablecream over the holiday weekend and kept theirchurns running full schedules through the weekend.A few producers running full schedules report thedesire to slow production some, but are not in theposition to do so based on current cream intakes.Butter manufacturers are taking into considerationwhat they anticipate to be a strong decrease incream availability in the upcoming weeks whenplanning their churn production schedules.”

Butter sales were steady this week, says DairyMarket News, as manufacturers and brokers reportconsistent calls from buyers. However, they expresslight interest in moving butter in the current mar-ket. Many inventories in the central region arereportedly already spoken for. Those with inventoriesnot currently committed are confident in their abilityto move butter in the upcoming months. Demand forfresh bulk butter is high, but supply is tight andoffers from sellers are rare.”

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed July 8 at 89cents per pound, 5.5 cents above the previous weekand 7 cents above a year ago, with 21 cars sold onthe week.

Dairy margins continued to strengthen the lasthalf of June due to a combination of higher milkprices and sharply lower feed costs, according to the

latest Margin Watch from Chicago-based Commodity and IngredientHedging LLC.

“In a reversal of fortune,” the Margin Watchstated, “margins are now projected positive from neg-ative readings earlier in the month for the spot thirdquarter period through the first half of 2017, withsecond quarter margins for next year above the 80thpercentile of the previous 10 years.

“Strength in the spot cheese market further bol-stered milk prices, with both blocks and barrels trad-ing higher over the past two weeks. Ongoing con-cerns over recent heat impacting cow comfort andmilk production remain supportive.”

The Margin Watch adds that USDA released theQuarterly Grain Stocks and June acreage reports atthe end of the month. “Both figures were consideredvery bearish for corn. Planted area was revised up547,000 acres from the March Planting Intentions to94.148 million, which was nearly 1.4 million acresabove the average trade guess and outside the rangeof estimates. June 1 corn stocks were pegged at 4.722billion bushels — almost 200 million above the aver-age trade forecast and again outside the range ofestimates,” the Margin Watch concludes.

USDA’s latest National Milk Cost of Productionreport shows May total milk production costs wereup slightly from April but still below 2015. Total feedcosts averaged $10.58/cwt. This is down 7 cents fromMarch, up 7 cents from April, and $1.08 below May2015. Purchased feed, at $5.90/cwt., were unchanged

from March, up 33 cents from April, and a pennybelow May 2015.

Total costs, including feed, bedding, marketing,fuel, repairs, hired labor, taxes, etc., at $21.71/cwt.,were down 20 cents from March, up 7 cents fromApril, but $1.1.13 below a year ago.

FOLLOWING THE2016 GROWING SEASON

By KRISTIN KVENO The Land Correspondent

Andy Pulk, Roseau, Minn.June 30There are some thirsty fields in parts of Minnesota and some fields that havemore than enough moisture, too much in fact. Andy Pulk’s fields fall in thelatter. The Land spoke with Pulk on June 30 as he reported: “We can’t miss arainstorm.” June has been a wet month on the Pulk farm with 9 inches of rainso far for the month. On Father’s Day, between an inch and an inch and aquarter-sized hail fell. Pulk said he was thankful that it “didn’t do much

damage.”It’s been so rainy that Pulk said it’s the “first time I’ve ever sprayed where I chased ducks out andwas followed by seagulls.”The corn is getting close to canopying, with an average of 8 to 10 inches in height. There has been“good weed control.” The corn “is starting to get dark green again.” With a break in the rain thisweek, Pulk noted that “It’s not as stressed as it was last week.” The beans are “fair to a littlebetter” and are currently 4 to 6 inches tall.The wheat is “all starting to head out.” Pulk said he feels like it’s “on par for at least an averagewheat crop.”The rye grass is currently “average to above average.” All the rain doesn’t seem to have negativelyaffected this crop.The forecast calls for chances of rain next week with the temperature warming up. Today’stemperature was only in the 50s. Pulk said he is “hoping we get back into the upper 70s.”Overall, Pulk is “not super concerned” about the crops. Though warmer weather and a break in therain would be a great way to kick off the month of July and give Pulk’s crops the boost they need.

Kent Moser, Rock Rapids, IowaJuly 7Some much needed rain arrived on July 6, while it brought some“strong winds, it was nothing too terrible,” said Kent Moser. TheLand spoke with Moser on July 7 as he estimated that between ahalf-inch to an inch of rain fell. The storm caused some of the cornto lean, though that's something Moser is “not worried about.”According to Moser, the timing of the rain was perfect.

Before the rain came: “It's been warm and dry in the last two weeks,” Moser reported.That allowed Moser to get a lot of side dressing of corn done. Moser is experimentingwith late season side dressing. The corn “has really shot out ahead of normal.” A fewfields are tasseled out, with most corn shoulder to head high.Moser has finished spraying soybeans. He sprayed his last field last week and said thebeans “look excellent.”Overall, the crops “still have to contend with unevenness,” he said. In terms of weedcontrol: “There's been the usual battles with waterhemp and marestail,” Moser said.With the rain giving the crops the moisture they needed, Moser said “Stuff looksgood.”

John Nielsen, Albert Lea, Minn. July 7“Last night that thunder was unbelievable — better than anyFourth of July stuff,”said John Nielsen. The Land spoke withNielsen on July 7 as he reported that the storm caused minimaldamage, mainly a few downed branches. With one more night ofsevere weather in the forecast for the week, July so far continuesto be “warm and wet,” he said.

The soybeans seem to be enjoying the weather as they currently are “as pretty asthey can be,” reported Nielsen. The plants are starting to bloom and are “very closeto closing the rows.” Nielsen said that the corn has “really improved.” It's “on theverge of tasseling” and has “good dark green color.” The crop has taken off asNielsen said it's now “2 to 3 feet above your head."In Nielsen's seed business, he's “got most of the returns done.” He can crosshauling corn off his to-do list: “I got corn hauled last week.” Nielsen has startedpreparations for the Freeborn Fair which begins Aug. 2. He has the Hog Johns porkchop stand that he calls a “family-neighbor affair.” The stand, which Nielsen hasrun for at least 10 years, is “a lot of work and a lot of fun.” He's also gettinglivestock ready for the fair. “Quite a few pigs go there for my grandkids andneighbors,” he said. It's been a busy summer so far for Nielsen and with the fair right around the corner,it doesn't seem like it will be slowing down anytime soon. The crops don't seem tobe slowing down either, which is making Nielsen a very satisfied producer. The cropsare “next to being excellent,” he said.

Joan Lee, McIntosh, Minn.June 30Rain has been in short supply on the Lee farm. The Landspoke with Joan Lee on June 30 as she reported:“We coulduse some (rain).” Many fields in the area are “showingstress” due to the lack of moisture. Lee’s crops are doingOK thanks to being planted in heavier soil. The forecastcalls for a chance of rain this weekend and Lee was

optimistic a little moisture would make a welcome appearance.The corn is “so-so.” “Some of the places just didn’t germinatem,” she said.All the corn has been cultivated. The crop is “definitely above the knee, abovewaist high in certain spots.”Now that the corn is cultivated, Lee’s husband, Mark, has switched his focusto cultivating the soybeans. All of the organic beans are on former ConservationReserve Program ground. “One of the fields definitely seems to be ahead ofthe other field,” she said. Lee said she believes that is due to the one fieldbeing on lower ground. “I imagine moisture was more of an issue,” she said.Lee reported that the oats are “starting to turn color a little bit” and the heads“look fairly thick, quite a bit of kernels on it.”The first hay crop was finished on June 24. In the last two days, Mark hasbeen moving bales home from the field — 140 bales had to be moved. Thesecond crop should be ready in a couple weeks.Over the next two weeks the Lee farm, they will finish cultivating the beansand enjoy “a little lull” in farm work.At this point in the growing season some of the things Lee sees out in the field“are positive, some are negative.” There seems to be a lot of variation in thecrop progress depending on the field itself. All the fields though have onething in common: they are more than ready for some vital moisture.

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

Bob Streit, an independent consultant inAmes, Iowa, spent 20 years as a seedindustry regional agronomist. Headdresses biological pest managementproducts in a Q & A with The Land.

Q: What’s driving this strong interestin biological pest management?

Streit: I think we have a lot more maturity in thecompanies getting involved in this field. Becausewe’re seeing some significant and economic benefitsfrom these products, we’re suddenly getting moremainstream buy-in by some university people —especially from those forward-thinking researcherswho are willing to think outside the box. They’rerealizing these are not hocus pocus products. Theyactually do work and they have a scientific back-ground in their development.

Q: Are American farmers quick to pick up onthese new technologies?

Streit: Anything but! In other countries, notablyBrazil and Argentina, farmers are way ahead of us onthe adoption of biological pest management strate-gies. Why? I see them as more intense producers.Their agronomists perhaps are also better trained inthis area because their teachers and professors domore hands-on teaching. They’re much more in thefield, working with farmers and product specialistsrather than sitting behind their desks. Also, our SouthAmerican farmers are much more willing to scouttheir fields and visually spot the adjustments to makein their management practices.

I put out a plot in early July with a northern Iowaproducer for a Belgium micronutrient firm. Thisfarmer has a direct injection, twin-tank Hagie high-clearance sprayer. He also has two Brazilian agrono-mists working for him this cropping season. Thesetwo cannot believe that U.S. farmers do not get outinto their fields inspecting on a weekly basis; evenmore frequently if field conditions demand. InBrazil, farmers and agronomists are in their fieldsuntil 7 o’clock Saturday night! They’re much morewilling to jump off their tractors, dig in their soilsand actually figure out what is making their cropgrow either good or bad.

Q: Do biological pest management strategiesneed to be adopted worldwide to feed 9 billionpeople by 2050?

Streit: I recently sat with a guy who took no-till

farming from Europe to Brazil. I asked himif Malthus would eventually be proven cor-rect. The Malthus theory was simply thatworld population would eventually exceedworld food production. He said ‘Yes, mostdefinitely, unless we find some new formu-las for getting much more production fromeach parcel of land.’

Jerry Hatfield, former head of the USDASoil Tilth Center, says ‘Traits are nice, traits

are fancy; but if we’re going to feed this world in thefuture it’s because we finally decided to pay muchmore attention to the soil.’ That means making oursoils considerably richer in biological activity whilealso increasing the organic matter and CEC (carbonequivalent capacity) so the soils hold more of themoisture that falls early in the season until it isneeded later in the summer.

Q: Might these biological products make ourcrops more efficient during hot, dry seasons?

Streit: There’s only one piece of research so far onthat question. That was done in Dr. Bob Kremer’slab, University of Missouri (also USDA) by a post-graduate Ph.D student (Zobiole who now lives inBrazil). Dr. Zobiole, in lab work, found that certaintraits bred into corn hybrids actually double the rateof water usage by the plant. And when we’re workingon better water utilization by our corn hybrids, that’sabsolutely the wrong direction. Unfortunately, virtu-ally all university researchers are ‘forbidden’ to testthat sort of question. Why? Because it might reflectbadly on some of the genetic engineering traitsalready bred into the system.

Q: Because corn and wheat are major foodcrops worldwide, are they best suited for theadoption of biological strategies?

Streit: Yes, most logically because that is wheremost of the work has been done so far. Cost-effectiveand measurable results are key to acceptance. Andthis is what’s happening. The Missouri soybeanfarmer getting 160-bushel yields uses a host of dif-ferent inputs, different strategies. Timely applica-tion of certain biological products are part of his suc-cess.

These new products coming out will definitely behuge in significant yield increases down the road.I’m talking biologically-based hormonal productsthat will trigger biological response in the targetedcrop. Biological science will become increasinglyimportant in feeding the world; maybe even more sothan genetic and trait engineering.

Q: Are U.S. Department of Agriculture andEnvironmental Protection Agency policiesencouraging the continued growth of biologi-cal pest management for American agricul-ture?

Streit: Yes. If a new herbicide or pesticide comesalong and it is biologically-based, EPA will ‘fasttrack’ that development. So much so, that if thecompany with the new product asks for a label onthree crops, EPA might grant a label for 20 crops.That’s how much EPA and USDA are on board ingetting these new strategies into American cropproduction. And that is basically because these newproducts present little or no challenge to the envi-ronment and the soils which grow our crops.

Part of the current problem is we don’t haveenough scientists and university researchers work-ing in this area partly because these are not highprofile projects. That means they don’t generate asmuch grant money. And the reality is, that grantmoney is absolutely needed to fund some of theseprojects. ❖

By RICHARD SIEMERSThe Land Correspondent

REDWOOD COUNTY, Minn. — Ifa weed is a plant that grows prolifi-cally where it hasn’t been planted,and resists being controlled like atenacious 2 year old, then the whitemulberry tree lives up to its “reputa-tion as a weed,” as described by theUniversity of Minnesota Extensionwebsite.

But if you enjoy the fruit as much asHarvey and Marlene Pedersen do, it’sa weed you can tolerate.

When Harvey retired as a full-timeparish pastor (though you wouldn’tknow that from his preaching sched-ule), the couple moved to Marlene’schildhood homeplace. She recalls thatwhen she was in high school, theypicked berries from a tree a half-mileaway. Not anymore.

The windbreaks on the north andwest sides of the farmsite have rowsof mulberry trees. They need walk

only to the edge of the yard to munchon berries or gather them for thekitchen.

The Pedersens aren’t the only oneswith mulberries in this area south ofWalnut Grove and Lamberton. Go to achurch potluck and there will beplenty of fruit pies and coffee cakeswith mulberries.

They are so prolific that some farm-

ers try to get rid of them,“especially in fence lines,”Harvey said. Marlene saidthat a farmer told them aboutan expensive spray that willget rid of them. They haven’ttried it.

“We have eliminated severaltrees,” Harvey said, “whenthey’re in key positions likefence corners. But it’s quite ajob to get rid of them becausethey grow up so quickly. Theysend shoots back up out of theroots and pretty soon there’s abig bush. You have to cut them yearafter year, and about the fourth yearthey give up.”

They aren’t interested in eliminatingall of them.

“We like having the birds around,”Marlene said.

They also like mulberry jam and thesweet treats she uses them in.

The season for picking mulberries isshort, and they don’t have a long shelflife. Marlene picks and freezes themright away. She simply picks themover, puts them in a plastic bag andplaces them in the freezer.

Marlene has her own way of picking.“They say to put down a white sheet

and shake the tree,” she said, “but thenyou get sticks and ticks and every kindof bug you can imagine. You have to gothrough and sort them out.”

She finds it more convenient to pickthem one at a time — leaving sticks,bugs and unusable berries behind. Sheuses a large pan she calls the “popcorn

pan.”“Mother would pop popcorn and

bring it in the big pan to our countryschool as a treat.” Marlene said.

The pan has two handles. She hastied a cord through those handles andhangs the pan around her neck, leav-ing both hands free to pick.

Their many trees produce way moreberries than they can use so there areplenty to go around for the birds.Skunks and raccoons eat those thatfall to the ground. When deer nibblethe ends of branches and hinder theirgrowth, it still doesn’t cut into theabundance.

So maybe there is something to besaid for having a weed which producesa luscious fruit. It means there isenough to share with wildlife and youdon’t have to keep telling the kids tostay out of the cookie jar.

Marlene said neighboring mothersoften know what their kids have beenup to without asking. They come inwith wide mulberry grins. ❖

GLENCOE, Minn. — Archer Daniels Midland hasbeen around since 1902, a major player in the devel-opment of the U.S. ethanol industry in the 1990s,employing 32,300 employees in 160 countries. With280 plants and 39 innovation centers, ADM caters tothe food and feed business worldwide.

On a local level, ADM hosted an open house eventat its new animal nutrition facility in Glencoe onJune 1. Farmers call these facilities a feed mill. Theold feed mill was built in 1948.

With a production capacity of 100,000 tons peryear, this high-tech mill is geared for the future.That’s a four-fold increase!

Plant Manager Lyle Highland, is going on 26 yearsat this Glencoe facility. “At this facility we’re now upto 250 to 300 different formulas and it grows everyyear,” he said. “You name it; we make it.”

Highland said the plant provides feed for swine,dairy, beef, horses, and poultry. But also on the menuis game-bird feed, deer and elk feed, bear feed, waxworm feed, llama, sheep, rabbits, goats, and more.

But this wax worm feed needs an explanation.“This is the worm for fishermen,” Highland

explained. “We have a couple of producers who spe-cialize in raising wax worms.”

Swine is the No. 1 feed product at this facility. Feedfrom the plant travels to Wisconsin, North and SouthDakota, northern Iowa and all of Minnesota.

He said 21 bulk ingredients are used in the 250-plus formulas. Soybeans, corn and wheat are the bigthree ingredients. But bakery byproducts, Red Dogwheat and flax seed meal from South Dakota aresome of the newer ingredients.

ADM feeds get sold direct by salesmen who call onlivestock producers and dealers the five-state area.The sales force also are ADM marketers. The Glen-coe facility operates its own truck fleet so all prod-ucts are delivered direct to customers and dealers.

Highland operates the Glencoe facility with 16hourly workers and seven salaried employees. Due toefficiency and plant improvements, that same workforce will handle the stepped-up production. As mar-keting demands, there may be staff additions.

Highland, a 1983 graduate from the University ofMinnesota with an agronomy-soil science major, firstworked with International Multi-Foods and itsSuper Sweet feeds. Due to consolidations in the feedindustry, AGP and Consolidated Nutrition was hisnext company until ADM purchased AGP in theearly 2000s.

“I’ve been in the feed business for 32 years,” High-land said. “It’s a constantly changing industry. Asfood needs keep increasing and new foods keepappearing, it’s a given we’ll be doing several totallynew feeds in the future.”

Currently, the plant offers 50 percent bulk and 50percent bagged feeds.

“We added a lot more capacity in bulk bins becausebulk handling is the direction of the industry, drivenmostly by what our customers want,” said Highland.

Spend a little time at the facility and you get anidea of efficiency in this new mill. Highland claims itcan do 15 bags of feed per minute or 900 bags perhour. Outside of monitoring the electronic functionsof this new plant, hand labor is virtually non-exis-tent. Robots and mechanics were installed by Brat-ney Companies, who are long-time innovators in feedhandling systems headquartered in Des Moines,Iowa.

“A state-of-the-art robotic system quickly moveseach bag from conveyor onto stacking pellets,” High-land explained. “We program the robot for multiplestack configurations. It’s an amazing system — defi-nitely on the cutting edge of packaging.”

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration visits onoccasion, generally unannounced. The inspectionsare part and parcel of the feed industry. Occupa-tional Safety and Health Administration require-ments are strictly enforced.

“Safety and quality are paramount with ADM,”Highland said. ❖

ADM opens new feed mill tomeet demand for livestock feed

As food needs keep increasingand new foods keep appearing,it’s a given we’ll be doing severaltotally new feeds in the future.

— Lyle Highland


OLIVIA, Minn. — After 28 years of providingsweet corn to hundreds of families within a 50-mileradius of Olivia, Tony and Connie Schmoll are pass-ing the reins to a new generation of sweet cornproviders. Accepting the challenge are Bird Islandarea farmers Keith and Sara McNamara and theirtwo children, Jerson, 13, and Juliana, 11.

“This is a huge undertaking for us. But it’s a busi-ness venture that’s been in my mind for severalyears. To have this unique opportunity to take overfrom Tony and Connie is really the best of bothworlds,” said Keith. “Schmoll’s Sweetcorn is leg-endary. The market they have established is leg-endary too. Once consumers identify with a certainprovider, Tony tells me they are incredibly loyal cus-tomers.”

So too were the young people wanting to becomepart of the sweet corn family each season.

“Those first years we had to do some talking to gethelpers with the picking and the selling. But soonthey were calling me, or stopping at the farm, oreven sending a text message saying we want towork for you,” said Tony.

The sweet corn harvest is hard work, especiallywhen humidity, bugs and muddy fields are on tap.Each and every ear of sweet corn is hand-harvested.Workers walk the rows of sweet corn, snapping offeach ear from the sweet corn plant into a bucketwhich is then gently dumped into a trailer or pickupor flatbed. When the vehicle is filled, it is on theroad to a Schmoll marketing location — a roadsidestop in any of four communities.

The familiar orange Schmoll marker helps sweetcorn buyers find their favorite summer delicacy. Sowhat can sweet corn lovers expect this season?

“About the only change is our new sign,” Sara said.“Ours says, Green Leaf Sweet Corn with threebright, beautiful ears of sweet corn. Plus, that well-known Schmoll orange decal is part of our sign.Blending the old image with the new image we thinkwill work perfectly.”

The McNamaras will be marketing in the samecommunities that nourished the Schmoll enterprise:Olivia, Redwood Falls, Spicer and Willmar. Eventssuch as Olivia Corn Capital Days are a boost. Theevent feeds over 2,000 people. A number of privateand corporate picnics now feature fresh sweet corn.Roots

Tony Schmoll, age 62, is ready for this transition.He’s had a pestering back problem. Being a sweetcorn farmer is not good therapy with the bending,lifting, twisting and turning that’s part of harvest.But he eagerly shared memories and sweet rewards.

All four of the Schmoll children are college gradu-ates. The couple estimates at least 40 of their youngworkers went on to become college graduates withpart of their education paid with money earned in

sweet corn. An elderly Spicer man came every day tobuy from the kids. He bought a dozen ears and left adollar tip for their college fund.

Schmoll’s sweet corn farming started on a smallpatch of ground in a grove that didn’t grow much ofanything. Connie had the idea of planting sweet cornin this one-acre patch. When the sweet corn wasready their kids would pick a few dozen and take itto the edge of Highway 71 to sell.

“They would sell maybe six to 10 dozen ears of corn aday; and 20 to 30 dozen a day on Friday and Saturday.That was a big deal for our kids at $2 a dozen,” saidTony. “But with sweet corn, location is everything.

“We could see people really liked our corn, so wemoved to a Dairy Queen in Spicer. That was phenom-enal — 80 dozen a day was common. The Franzens,who owned the DQ, knew how to market. Theyadvised us on how and where to display our corn,what size sign we’d need, and putting ‘Olivia Grown’because people preferred buying local grown ratherthan sweet corn imported from southern states. Theyeven suggested where to park our vehicle — an older,rusty Suburban.”

That Suburban was backed down the rows as thekids did the harvesting. It held 75 dozen ears of corn.Then it traveled the 40 miles from field to Spicer.But that old rig did the job, even with a few largesigns blocking the view. Soon the Schmolls gradu-ated to a pickup and trailer for harvest and delivery.Now they were up to 250-350 dozen a day! Kids wereloving it, even though it meant getting up early andwalking the field by 6 a.m.Transition

The Schmolls used four to five varieties of sweetcorn, but about 75 percent is “peaches and cream”variety. Virtually all 26 acres of sweet corn theMcNamaras are selling this first year is on groundfarmed by Schmoll. They vary planting dates to helpassure a longer harvest and selling season. Keithpredicts a July 15 date of first harvest while Sarathinks it could be a couple days earlier.

The Schmolls averaged eight to 12 pickers and sell-ers a day. The McNamaras already have a harvest-ing crew of 12.

“Giving kids new opportunities is the next step intheir lives,” said Keith. “We’re expecting this willhelp finance college for our kids and a few others,just like it did for the Schmoll family.”

Their son, 13 year-old Jerson, said it will be alearning experience.

“I know I will learn a lot more about interactingwith others,” said Jerson. “My mom has reminded methat a big smile and a generous ‘thank you’ is per-haps the biggest part of selling sweet corn.”

And the baker’s dozen will continue.“This new venture very definitely fits the number-

one objective in my business thinking — growing andselling a real product directly into the consumer mar-ket,” said Keith. “I don’t believe in just growing andselling everything into the bulk market. Sweet cornis a perfect example of one-on-one merchandising.”

Fire and Ice Hydrangeawill never cease to be anamazing shrub that haschameleon-like abilities tochange color every fewweeks. In early spring theblooms begin as a creamywhite color and the first flow-ers are similar to large whitefour-leaved clovers. Theystart to turn into pink blos-soms toward the middle ofsummer and the entire plantlooks like cotton candy.

Beginning in the late days of summerand into the fall, the inflorescence willmagically change and burst into shadesof magenta and burgundy. These color-ful panicles can be cut, hung upsidedown to dry and used in dried floralarrangements.

We have two Fire and Ice Hydrangeasand can attest to their exquisite beautyand ease of cultivation. They are 12years old now and have grown to aheight of 5 feet and a horizontal spreadof about 4 feet. They will tolerate thecold as well as the hottest and mosthumid temperatures of the season. Par-tial shade is where they will do theirbest and if grown in full sun they willrequire more watering.

Pruning panicle hydrangeas is easy.You can choose to let the attractiveflower heads remain through the win-ter and snip them off in early spring.Other pruning can be done in earlyspring if you wish to shape the shrub acertain way or if you need to controlthe size. Severely pruning one third ofthe stems one year, one third the nextyear and one third the following yearwill allow you to control the size with-out resorting to the method of cuttingit all back to about 4 inches from theground. (That method of ground level

pruning will rejuvenateshrubs but takes severalgrowing seasons beforethey look attractive again.)

The number ofhydrangeas available forpurchase has increaseddramatically these past 10years. There are mop heads,dwarfs, panicle, tree formsand ones that can blossomwith a true blue color byadjusting the pH of the soilthey are growing in. Other

colors range from white to palestcream, pink, chartreuse and deep bur-gundy.

Hydrangeas can be used as hedges,as a background border in a garden orfor an individual specimen in a yard.Cut flowers can last for weeks indoors.A few choice panicles in a vase make alovely table centerpiece as well as apeaceful sight to behold resting on anightstand by the bed.

■

Readers ask, “What do you recom-mend using to fill old cream cans whenusing them for planters?” I filled minewith garden soil mixed with compostand used a commercial potting soil forthe top 12 inches of the can. The topnarrows so much that the soil mixturesettles and needs to be well wateredand topped off again before planting.Crushed soda cans could be placed inthe bottom half of the can and thenfilled to the top with good potting mixbefore planting flowers.

Give a talented quilter a few fat quar-ters of fabric and a challenge to cre-ate something original and you have

a quilting challenge.That’s one of the many activities that the

Quilts Along the Trail planning committee isorganizing for quilters in preparation for its2016 quilt extravaganza to be held in Osakis,Minn., on Sept. 10.

“Each fat quarter pack of fabric is the same,” saidCarol Mihalchick, an event organizer and co-founder of the 13-year-old Quilts Along the Trailsaid. “It’s wonderful to see the different designs thatpeople come up with.”

If you’re up for a quilting challenge, you can pur-chase your own fat quarter pack for $6 from theQAT store in Osakis in the lower level of Just LikeGrandma’s Bed and Breakfast. You’ve got untilSept. 9 to enter your creation.

Quilts Along the Trail, which will have hundredsof quilts on display along the Central Lakes bicycle

trail, will have a special display devoted to theChallenge Quilts. They will also have a section ded-icated to quilts made from various patterns such asthe Log Cabin, Basket, or Christmas Tree. Therewill also be a section for old quilts as well as Quiltsof Valor. Quilts of Valor are made by volunteers anddonated to military service members who have beenaffected by war.

The Quilts Along the Trail planning committee isalso bringing back the popular bed-turning demon-stration this year.

“Quilts always have a story to go with them,“Mihalchick said. “At the bed-turning, the quilterswill tell the stories behind some of the quilts.”

Quilts Along the Trail is a great place for quilters

to go to learn from other quilters. But the colorfuldisplay is for non-quilters as well.

“Quilting is an art and the quilt show is like goingto a big art show,” Mihalchick said. “You don’t haveto be an artist to enjoy beautiful art.”

Walking along the bicycle trail with a fresh breezeoff Lake Osakis, the September sun warming yourback, the smell of food booths in the distance, and arainbow of colored quilts for your eyes to feast oncan be appreciated by those who might not even beinclined to go to a conventional art show.

Quilts Along the Trail will be held in conjunctionwith Panther Distillery’s Moonshine Madness festi-val. Quilts Along the Trail has a Facebook site atfacebook.com/Quilts-Along-the-Trail. ❖
