Some people are born adven-turers — constantly seekingthrilling new experiences inexotic and often dangerouslocales, thriving upon thehair’s breadth between senseand nonsense.

I have a friend, also namedTom, who is such an adven-turer. Practically any countryyou can think of that has beenravaged by war, natural disas-ter or political instability inthe past 15 years,Tom haslived there, working withvarious humanitarian organi-zations to directly aid the people there.

He takes his work very seriously, puts in tremen-dous hours, and when he gets a brief respite, heseeks thrilling new experiences in exotic non-dan-gerous locales. My goal in life is to be just like Tom ...except to skip all of that unpleasantness described inthe first two paragraphs above.

One step toward my goal came very recently, as Ifound myself fortunate enough to travel to NewZealand (see this week’s Back Roads on Page 40 forone example out of hundreds of amazing highlights)with my wife and another couple.

What struck me was that while New Zealand wascertainly very exotic, I still absolutely felt a comfortwhich put a scaredy cat like me at ease. Other thana brief visit to Vancouver, British Columbia, a decadeago, I’d never before left the comfort of the UnitedStates. (Apologies to my friend Tom, but his homeand native land don’t really count.)

When you look beyond the obvious and superficialdifferences — driving on the left side of the road, thecolorful cash, the even more colorful accents — NewZealand actually has much in common with theUpper Midwest.

Sure, we saw tremendous mountains, glaciers andoceans you won’t find here, but the beautiful rollinghills and green plains reminded me greatly of west-ern Iowa and southern Minnesota. Livestock domi-nates, and with it great pastures and freshly cut hayfields, the smell of which brought me back home,though I was 26 hours worth of plane rides away.

Another key, I think, was New Zealand’s friendlypeople. People talk about “Minnesota Nice” but theKiwis may have that beat. Over the course of twoweeks, every local within earshot (and you can defi-nitely hear who’s a local) was smiling, chatty andincredibly personable. When everyone makes youfeel at home, you sort of forget that you aren’t.

Not real adventurous, I know, but I think I already

have enough nonsense in my life, thank you. I have ateenage daughter.

Other observations from our trip:• We had layovers in Los Angeles each way. LAX is

absolutely massive. Our shuttle between terminals tookabout as long as the flight from there to Minneapolis.

• The Virgin Australia flight across the Pacific waspainfully long — nearly 14 hours — but at least they tryto make it tolerable, with super swanky video touchscreens for each seat, plus seat-to-seat texting, and won-derful food. My butt was still numb regardless.

• I completely missed Thursday, Dec. 6, for allintents and purposes, departing Minneapolis on the5th and flying forward across the International DateLine to the 7th. Conversely, I got to experience Dec.19 twice. Weird.

• File this under Too Much Information if you like,but my track record of never using an airplane bath-room continues, despite the lengthy trans-oceanicflights. My body should be carefully researched by

MINDS, from pg. 2the medical community.

• Customs is a giant pain in thekiester.

• A guidebook we read about NewZealand said that tipping is not donethere. I hope that’s true, because ifnot, we made a ton of waiters andwaitresses angry over there.

• We took a north island scenic trainfrom Auckland down to Wellington,and then a three-hour ferry ride to thesouth island. The place we stopped atfor lunch was playing Johnny Cashspirituals record. Ordered the hotlamb sandwich; “Yeah yeah, very Kiwichoice,” said the waitress.

• Driving on the left side of the roadisn’t the tough part. The tough part isremembering which lever is the turnsignal and which is the wipers.

• You can buy many fine NewZealand-made beers, and a greatassortment of imports as well, but not

once in any restaurant orgrocery did I come across

an American-made brew.Are New Zealanders that snobby, or areAmerican beers that bad? (Note: I con-sumed many fine NZ-made beers.Exclusively for research purposes.)

• You might have read in this issuean ag tourism story about a farm bedand breakfast we tried to stay at, butthere was no one around despite all ofthe doors and windows being open anda vehicle sitting out front. This is boththeir and your loss; it looked like a veryinteresting place. (The motel we stayedat instead wasn’t anything to writehome about, by the way.)

• Glaciers are cool.• Hour-long moutain drives on

treacherous one-lane gravel roads withon-coming traffic are not cool.

• New Zealand is known for itssheep, of course, and if you’re a readerof Lee Mielke’s “Mielke Market

Weekly” column in The Land you knowit’s got quite a few dairy cattle, too. Thethird-largest type of livestock produc-tion appeared to be deer,which is ironic becausepigs are also popular —for hunting. There are atleast three magazinespublished in NewZealand dedicated tohunting swine. (Huntersof wild pigs are a bitmore sporting than theirdeer-hunting brethrenhere — the prey arealways taken down byknife, not bullet.)

• There are McDon-ald’s everywhere, butthe menu is slightly dif-ferent — they have a lamb burger, andthey love putting beets on everything. Ialso saw several Pizza Hut, Subwayand KFC establishments, and even aKmart, but no Walmarts.

• The kiwi bird has a very long beakand, unusually, nostrils at the very tipof it. Seeing as how they search for foodby poking their beak into the dirt touncover worms and whatnot, they arefrequently heard sniffing and snortingas they try to blow the dirt out of theirnoses. True story.

• I watched some rugby, and I wouldlike to learn more about it. I watchedsome cricket, and I do not want to learnmore about it.

• Was surprised to see corn being

grown in New Zealand; in fact, wedrove past a Pioneer Maize ResearchCenter on the south island. Who knew?

• You have to lookclosely in the imple-ment dealers’ trade-inslot, but it’s possible tocome across an occa-sional John Deere orInternational Har-vester tractor or com-bine. Quite a fewMassey Fergusons inNew Zealand, however.Most of the “new” stuffI saw was Claas.

• The city ofChristchurch and theentire Canterburyregion continues to

recover from devastating earthquakesin 2010 and 2011. We saw blocks ofrubble, roads still in tatters and count-less abandoned homes.

At the same time, we saw inspira-tional artwork and a vibrant commu-nity determined to not just return towhat they were, but become a bettercity from the ground up. It is a tremen-dous story of destruction and rebirth,and I hope to return someday to seetheir next chapter.

• You need to add New Zealand toyour “bucket list.” I need to write itback onto mine.

To the Editor:Dick Hagen’s column, “What’s ahead for America?”

was certainly his most stimulating column since hisfamous “I want a divorce” column. In his column, heexpresses worry about thenext four years. Let meease Mr. Hagen’s mind.

Here is what is going to happen in the next fouryears.

• The economy will slowly improve. There will berapid improvement if the Republicans cooperate.

• We will be out of Afghanistan, ending the “BushWars.”

• The federal deficit will be greatly reduced.• There will be significant immigration reform.• The nation will begin to improve its education

system and infrastructure.Here is what happened in the last election. The

twin strategies of the evil genius, Karl Rove, of votersuppression and flooding the air waves with attackads failed. Of the candidates Karl Rove supportedwith hundreds of millions of dollars, 94 percent werenot elected.

Voters were willing to stand in lines as long as 12hours to make their votes count. The courts ruledthat many of the voter suppression rules, passed bythe Republicans were unconstitutional.

Joe Klein, the Republican columnist, stated that“What we’ve decided in this election is that most peo-ple are comfortable with a regulated free-enterprisesystem in which the government helps provide edu-cation and health care for everyone and financialsupport for those who need it moist, especially theelderly.”

Dennis Dalman, another columnist, writes “Foryears, I’ve told good, rational Republican acquain-tances they’d better stop courting the Looney-Tuneextreme right or they’ll lose elections. And that isexactly what Romney did. He catered all too often toextremists, fear-mongers and demagogues. In reject-ing Romney, a healthy majority of Americans alsorejected right-wing radicalism.”

Here is the good news, Mr. Hagen. Contrary towhat the Republican Party says, the vast majority ofAmericans are not leeches. They are hard-working,honest people who want to hold good jobs or haveprofitable businesses and provide for their families.These Americans include the black, yellow, brown,women, old, young, homosexual, poor and middleclass portions of our population that the RepublicanParty considers worthless.

For the Republican Party it is all about money, avery unChristian attitude.

As Hubert Humphrey once told me, “I know thereare some welfare mothers who are taking advantageof the system, but anything they steal is peanutscompared to what the big boys steal.”Marv JensenKensington, Minn.

Soundoff!

The Christmas tree was ascrub cedar hacked fromthe edge of the woods thatbordered the farm. Big-bulbed lights, strung inbarber pole fashion, gener-ated almost as much heatas the nearby wood stove.Yellowed Christmas cards,saved over the years andperched like doves in theuntrimmed branches,served as ornaments.

“I believe this is theprettiest tree I’ve ever had,”Howard proclaimed as we stood in itsglow. “And its smells good, too.”

The only scent evident to me was amixture of wood smoke and theremains of a fried pork supper. But Ilied and said, “Sure does.”

Howard beckoned me to sit. We hadshared this Christmas Day in the dairybarn and it was his request that weshare a bit of the night, also. He knew Iwas alone because my family, hisemployer, was visiting relatives. I knewhe was alone because he was alwaysalone, a bachelor for nearly 40 years.

“I’ll get us some Christmas cheer,” heoffered as I sank into the sofa. In

untied work shoes he shuf-fled toward the kitchen. Aminute later, he returnedwith two water glasses filledwith rhubarb wine. Weraised them to the day.

“It’s been a good Christ-mas, ain’t it Allie-Boy,” heasked as he sat in a ladder-back chair by the stove.

He had called me AllieBoy for as long as I couldremember. I had taken to

call him Hoard the Dairy-man, after the title of a farm magazinemy father subscribed to.

I nodded. It had been a good day. Twowobbly newborn calves greeted uswhen we arrived at the dairy barn 16hours earlier. Wet and shivering, wedried them with the past summer’sstraw before showing them how to findbreakfast at their mamas’ side. Onewas a bull, the other a heifer.

“We ought to name ’em Mary andJoseph,” Howard now said as werehashed the day, “on account of thembeing born today.”

Mary and Joseph? Generally, Howardhad only one name for all cows: Suc-cum. None of us knew what it meant or

where it came from, but from the timehe arrived on the farm in 1965 everycow was always Succum and everyheifer was always Little Succum. Agroup of cows or calves were simply BigSuccums or Baby Succums.

“Mary and Joseph they will be,” I saidapprovingly.

Silence hung in the stale air. I reck-oned that if you had bached it for 40years, silence wasn’t a void that alwaysneeded to be filled. So I worked on mywine and said nothing. Howardreached for his pipe and the big red canof Velvet that had been my Christmasgift to him that morning.

“You want to roll yourself a smoke,Allie? I got some papers here.”

I shook off the offer.“Yep,” Howard said as if to himself,

“that’s the prettiest tree I’ve ever had.And this is shaping up to be the nicestChristmas I’ve ever had because youcame by.”

I looked at the tree and then at theold man ringed in tobacco smoke star-ing at it and I felt sad. Not for him. Ifelt sad for me. I had agreed to come tohis house to accommodate him, a favorfor a hired man.

But he had not wanted a favor. All hehad wanted was the chance to share hisChristmas good fortune with me. He hadsome new wine, a warm fire, his bestChristmas tree ever and a week’s worthof tobacco. He was happy and he wantedto give me some of that happiness.

As I stared at the silhouette of Hoardthe Dairyman in the glow of the Christ-mas lights I saw a man of great warmth,vast wealth and pure honesty. He didn’thave a checking account or credit cardbut he was far richer than the conde-scending college boy on his sofa.

“Well Hoard,” I said a very quietminute later, “I better go. We both havegot to be at the barn early tomorrow.”

He led me to the back door. “Don’t for-get,” he said as I headed for the truck,“we’ll call those calves Mary andJoseph.”

Almost 40 Christmas Nights later, Ihave not forgotten two calves namedMary and Joseph and Howard’s price-less gift, simple giving.

FARM & FOOD FILE

By Alan Guebert

To the Editor:The release of the new

movie “Lincoln,” remindsus that there was a time that political, economic andsocial strains tore our nation apart. It was thearrival of The Land and Dick Hagen’s editorial onNov. 30, that reminds us that our nation is onceagain being tested.

There is much that Mr. Hagen says that bears morethan a shadow of the truth. There is more of it, how-ever, that is unfair and sees the world through thewrong end of a telescope.

We live in a nation in which some claim we are los-ing our liberty and yet support a candidate for presi-dent who said about contraceptives: “It’s not OK. It’sa license to do things in a sexual realm that iscounter to how things are supposed to be.” Not sup-posed to? Mr. Santo-rum brings to life thefictional novel “1984”.

As for the claim ofnot being able to prayin school, personalprayer in school isalways acceptable. Wejust cannot makeeveryone pray as wethink they should.

Notwithstandingarguments of socialissues, I would sug-gest that the founda-tion for our problemsis that much of thedecision-making inWashington is basedon the values of thosewho purchased that government. I for one am first inline to seek welfare reform.

However, that is only part of the problem.There is no doubt that there are a variety of causes

to the financial crisis, many linked. Two large andcostly wars and a prescription drug program cannotbe ignored. Defense is imperative, but overspendinghas sapped the life of this country. Justified or not, thecost of the wars initiated since 2001 is in the trillions.

Mr. Hagen often refers to those who seek handouts.It is easy to highlight the excesses of others. It wasmy job in D.C. to work on behalf of agricultural inter-ests, but perspective reminds us that over 97 percentof the population of this country does not understandagricultural policy and many refer to farm programpayments as “handouts.” The Environmental Work-ing Group website showing government paymentsreceives a great deal of traffic.

In another matter of taxpayer dollars, consider fur-ther the New York Times article of Dec. 2, “As Compa-nies Seek Tax Deals, Governments Pay High Price”

PARTISAN, from pg. 7with startling evidence that govern-ment — national, state and local —provide benefits for corporations thatresults in little benefit.

The board and CEOclaim to be worth millionsof dollars in salary andbenefits and pay employ-ees little, requiring themto turn to the governmentfor assistance. If you do astatewide search you willfind that Walmart benefitsfrom such programs. These are“handouts” larger than we can imag-ine.

Congress is owned by corporations,and members are beholden to benefac-tors. Consider the excesses of WallStreet, exorbitant bonuses and unbe-lievable salaries. Taxpayer moneyhelped stabilize the economy whileexecutives who put this nation in jeop-ardy, awarded themselves largesalaries and bonuses.

There is little desire to cooperate andcompromise in Washington. We live in

a nation where the minority leader ofthe Senate announced that it was hisgoal to make the president a one-termpresident. Now in 2012, will he be more

conciliatory? I think not.We are in great danger of

being torn apart in a rapidlychanging world if we cannotwork together. Among otherthings, that means jettison-ing the “birther” thing.

There is enough fault to goaround. While President

Obama has apparently rec-ognized the problem of banking

policies and Wall Street excesses, whathas been done to provide any sem-blance of justice? Any statistic can beskewed to serve a political intent.

There has been some of that on bothsides of the political spectrum. We can-not maintain ground if we continue tothrow mud. We must take control of theelection process, making it fair, under-stand what controls Washington, andlet go of blind partisanship.Patricia BuschetteRenville, Minn.

Little desire to cooperate

By CAROLYN VAN LOHThe Land Correspondent

An interest in practicing law inhis hometown brought PatrickCostello back to southwestern Min-nesota.

Motivated by his surroundings,Costello has devoted much of hiscareer to issues facing today’s agri-cultural producers.

The American Agricultural Law Associationrecently elected Costello as its president for 2014-15.

Costello grew up in Lakefield, Minn., a communityjust north of Interstate 90 in Jackson County.Although he wasn’t a “farm kid,” his uncle was afarmer. He earned a bachelor of arts degree fromHamline University before receiving a law degreefrom Creighton University School of Law. A courseon agricultural law planted a seed that grew into alaw career involved with agriculture.

When asked about the decision to return to theLakefield area, Costello said, “I’ll have to say, yes, Iwas always interested in practicing in my home-town.” After graduating from Creighton in 1977, hejoined the law firm of Costello, Carlson and Butzon.He continues working for the firm with offices inJackson, Lakefield and Heron Lake.

Costello presided over more than 100 bankruptcycases in the early 1980s. The economic condition ofagriculture at that time motivated him to help formthe Agricultural Law Section of the Minnesota BarAssociation. Researching a federal estate tax issuefor a case led him to join the AALA. Costello haspresented several papers at AALA annual confer-ences and served a three-year term on the board ofdirectors.

Many members of the AALA are land grant uni-versity professors and researchers. The organiza-tion studies and analyzes agricultural laws thataffect farmers and ranchers. Annual conferences areoften the first time members hear about breakingnews in agriculture.

Costello’s major responsibility as president-electis selecting topics for the 2013 conference.

“They’re expecting a more practical, rather thantheoretical, program,” Costello said since he is apracticing attorney and not a member of academia.“Some issues never go away, like the environmentand pollution.”

Anti-trust issues in the meat industry seem to begoing nowhere, but Costello sees the geneticallymodified organism labeling debate shifting to Wash-ington after the recent defeat of Proposition 37 inCalifornia.

“The content of food labeling is another issuewhere certain vocal consumers demonstrate thatwhen it comes to what we eat, emotions can outrunscience,” Costello said.

He is optimistic about the future status of estatetaxes. “I think there is a very high likelihood thatthe current exemption of $5 million and portability

with spouse will become the law for descendantsdying after 2012, once Congress addresses the issueof the exemption going down to $1 million on Jan. 1,2013. If Congressional action is delayed, retroactiv-ity of the higher exemption would be expected.”

The emerging issue of farming sub-Sahara Africawith modern techniques to make production equalto that of Brazil is another potential topic. The fact

that China, Japan and Saudi Arabia are buying“huge chunks” of land in Africa needs to beresearched in relation to American agriculture.

During the planning process, time slots will beleft open to address new issues. “There will be sometopics that we haven’t even thought of yet,”Costello said. Discussion of a new food-borne ill-ness epidemic could fill one of those slots. ❖

Called BinTrac, it’s a technology sys-tem featuring loadcells on jacksmounted on each leg of a feed bin.

What happens? You have instantreadouts on feed levels of every bin soequipped. Designed and marketed byHerdstar LLC of Mankato, Minn., thesignature BinTrac product digitally andremotely measures and tracks feed binweight and feed consumption. It canalso alert producers of low feed levelsand potential feed line malfunctions.

Bin legs are equipped with patented,screw jack-like brackets that lift binshalf an inch to weigh them and imme-diately sends the data to a website.

“It’s an amazing system. With thepork industry being this tight rightnow it’s tough justifying the expense ofa BinTrac system yet perhaps that iseven more reason to do BinTrac,” saidDan Berkner, feed mill manager of Pro-tein Sources in Mapleton, Minn.

He said this bin monitoring technol-ogy brings tremendous safety into feedhandling. It also precisely providesdata on feed consumption per hour, oreven more frequently. And you neverrun the risk of suddenly being out offeed at noon Saturday, with no feeddelivery from the local mill until Mon-

day morning. “Those are just a few ofthe benefits I’m seeing since weinstalled BinTrac into our feed han-dling system,” Berkner said in a tele-phone visit with The Land.

Protein Sources installed their firstBinTrac units about three years ago ona couple of test barns. “Getting awayfrom climbing bins was the immediateattraction. Plus the accuracy and fore-casting we can now do on feed needsreally improves our overall efficiency,”he said.

He uses a web-based monitoring sys-tem (www.BinTrac.com). “Our produc-ers can log in for instant informationon their feed inventories. And I canalso log in to any of the sites we deliverfeed to and know precisely when andwhere the next batch of feed goes. Alsothe precise amount of feed to be on thattruck for that particular delivery. Soit’s a tremendous assist for good andtimely operational management.”

Protein Sources currently delivers toa sow farm with BinTrac equippedbins, plus two finishing sites also withBinTrac units. “If you have 12 bins on asite you can monitor all 12 bins if youhave scales attached to the legs of eachbin,” he said.

The technology is amazingly trouble

Dan Berkner of Protein Sources in Mapleton, Minn., can keep tabs on the levels offeed bins without leaving the comfort of his office at the feed mill.

Call Kevin at 507-327-7629 • LeSueur, [email protected] • www.hewittdrainageequipment.com

BINTRAC, from pg. 10free. Perhaps the only error might be with ice pilingup on the bin roof but the first sunny day usuallytakes care of that issue.

Most bins on the Protein Source route are seven-tonbins adjacent to swine finishing barns but there’s also12-ton and 15-ton bins on the sow farm. “You’re notlimited to bin size. The bigger the bin, the more legsand thus the more weight units,” he said.

When you’re dealing in the world of electronic tech-nology there can be maintenance issues. However,only a few loadcells have gone out for Berkner. “But aphone call and their service technician has taken careof the issue. We have an active contract with themwhich provides service as needed.”

Cost per bin for the BinTrac system depends uponthe number of bin legs but figure about $1,000 for afour-leg bin, Berkner said. “Yes, that might be a bitexpensive on first call. But the safety issue is soimportant, especially during the winter when icebuilds up on the climbing ladder rungs. So I’d cer-tainly recommend that this technology is something

to look at.“The reporting and

forecasting is impor-tant for me as a feedmill manager. I canlog in to each bin siteand find out, forexample, that Bin 10shouldn’t run out ’til 8a.m. on Wednesday. Iteliminates shortloads. The monitorstell us that Bin 10 isusing 1.1 ton per daybut as pigs get biggerthat floats up to 1.3tons or 1.4 tons perday. This forecastinglets us be very precisein our delivery sched-ules and tonnages per

delivery,” he said, adding that his feed truck driversalso appreciate the accurate information they havegoing out on each feed delivery route.

“It’s an impressive system. When it becomes moreaffordable the cost-effectiveness of BinTrac will bethat much better,” he said.

Roger Matejka, a Martin County, Minn., hog pro-ducer already has nearly five years experience withBinTrac monitoring systems. With finishing barns atthree different sites, the 600-head barns each havetwo, seven-ton bulk bins. A central site has three,1,000-head barns each equipped with tandem, 16-tonbulk bins.

“I’ve been real pleased. The system is directlyhooked into the web-based monitoring system ofFarmers Co-op Association at Jackson, which is myfeed provider. They monitor every bin in my opera-tion. They know exactly the feed levels in each bin sothey can do full-load deliveries every visit to my farm.I don’t make any feed calls anymore. The co-op does itall,” Matejka said in a telephone visit Dec. 11.

His operation is equipped with a “cell phone”

BINTRAC, from pg. 11antenna at his central site. The othertwo sites, each about a quarter-milefrom the central site, transmit to thecentral site with hourly updates onthe feed levels in each of the 12 bins.Each of the three barns at the centralsite is equipped with a readout moni-tor that does up to four bins withreadouts recycling frequently.

Matejka can check monitors on eachbin as he does his chores, however,because his local co-op has a websiteand he has an access code so that sitehe can check feed status of his bulkbins on the internet from his homeoffice. But the real pudding in hissetup is that his local co-op is con-stantly monitoring his entire feedingsystem. Thus this unusual commentfrom Matejka, “actually I haven’tordered feed for about four years. Theco-op is reading my bulk bin weightsand delivering feed as necessary. Italk with Jeremy or David at the co-op maybe once a week just to check onmedications in the feed. But feedscheduling to my place is strictly upto the co-op.”

The biggest benefit from Matejka’spoint of view is complete eliminationof the chance of interruption of feed

supply. “Before this system gettingcrops planted each spring andharvested each fall sometimes tookpriority over getting a call into the co-op for feed delivery,” he said.

Talk about “peek ahead” informationprovided by BinTrac. His websiteinformation shows each bin site indi-vidually and the feed weights of thatparticular bin at that particular hour.Then based on feed usage in each bulkbin, the website provides an estimatedtime when that bin will be empty.Matejka said, for example, it will tellyou that Bulk Bin 10 is estimated to beempty Monday at 8 a.m. The feed millbased on usage that week can thendetermine if they need to bring outfeed or can they wait until Mondaymorning.

The feed mill at the co-op has someadvantages, too. If it’s a “slow day” atthe mill they can quickly check feedsupplies at Matejka’s farm and runsome feed out to him even though he

would have been OK until next week.“It lets us use our equipment and labormore efficiently,” said Jeremy Ebeling,feed operations manager.

Because Matejka did the BinTracinstallations when the units werefairly new in the market, he thinks hegot a bit of a deal. He recalls between$6,000 and $7,000 for all eight bins.Because some research and develop-ment was still in progress when hissystem was installed he reasons thatmight have favored a lower cost also.

He worked with Moore Automationof Trimont, Minn., for the actualinstallation of the screw jack bracketsand positioning of the load cells oneach bin leg. With 10 bins (40 loadcells) Matejka said only about twoloadcells per year have to be replacedcosting about $250 for installation.

His system is setup on a six-hourtimeframe. If there hasn’t been anychange in feed weights of a particularbin in six hours, that tells him and theco-op that feed is bridged in that bin orthere has been some malfunction. TheBinTrac website then sends a textmessage “alerting me like ‘No feedusage in Bulk Bin 3 since 6 p.m.’ I’llget another text message at 12 hours ifthe problem hasn’t been remedied; and

another in 18 hours if the issue stillpersists. So that’s some terrific supportregardless the day, regardless thehour,” Matejka said.

Moore Automation also provideselectronic monitoring of feed lines. “Ican push two buttons and get actualrun time on a particular feed line forthe past 24 hours. Right now the feedline is running for two hours and 10minutes every 24 hours; on anotherbarn it’s at two hours and 20 minutes.So this also tells you if you have a feedline problem. The two systems ofMoore Automation and Herdstar arevery complimentary to each other,”Matejka said.Mike Jaeger, Mapleton,Minn., area corn and hog producer hasBinTrac units on four, 4 1/2-ton bins onhis farm. He’s a pig finisher doing acouple thousand pigs per year in onefinishing barn. Feed gets deliveredweekly once pigs get some size. Butwith BinTrac, he’s no longer climbingany of his four bins.

Perhaps a greater value for Jaeger isthat the monitors quickly let him knowwhen a pen of pigs goes off feed. Hismonitor is scanning each of the four binson a prescribed schedule. For a quickerlook he can push buttons and get rightto each bin. Because the units arerecording feed consumption on a dailybasis, Jaeger said he can readily graphthe performance of each batch of pigs.

It lets us use our equipment and labor more efficiently.

Perhaps it was inevitable. Somebody is now steal-ing hay.

With small bales now in the $15 range and bigbales $150 and up, truck-mounted hydraulic hoistson 18-wheelers are ramping up truck load thieveryof baled hay rather frequently in California, Texasand a few other areas where drought virtually elimi-nated the hay harvest for livestock producers.

Donald Kieffer, National Hay Association execu-tive director, reports hay thievery is especially ram-pant in the agriculturally rich California ImperialValley. “Producers who stack their hay bales alongroadsides make it especially easy for these ‘afterdark’ marauders to park their semis, reach across tothe pile of bales and fairly quickly snatch a load. Orthey toss 20 to 25 bales in their pickup and theyhave a $300 heist,” Kieffer said.

So what can/should producers be doing with thiscommodity that today has considerable value? Kief-fer suggested electric lighting around the hay piles,or a better location with 24-hour visibility. Or per-haps technology to the rescue, electronic sensingdevices appropriately located around a hay stackdetect motion and send an immediate audio alarm tothe producer’s house.

Meanwhile, how critical is the hay shortage acrossAmerica?

Veteran hay producer Harlan Anderson, ruralCokato, Minn., said quality hay is in short supplyeverywhere. “Ditch hay in some areas is more thanadequate but consider the quality,” he said.

Who’s buying hay? Perhaps because the Minnesotalandscape during the 2012 growing season gotblessed with a bit more rain than other areas, Min-nesota has hay and most of it is leaving the state,Anderson said. Does Minnesota hay mostly travel tothe drought-damaged states of Texas, Oklahoma,Kansas and Nebraska? “I find the most interest inIndiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and Texas,” hesaid.

Is the growing hay shortage strictly a function ofwidespread drought? Not so said Anderson whoclaims farmers grow less hay because there’s moremoney growing corn and soybeans. “The hay short-age was developing because of public policy towardcorn and soybeans but the significant droughtstepped up the process by at least five years.”

Obviously Minnesota farmers too are respondingto public policy and plowing up their alfalfa fields toplant corn, soybeans and wheat. This year Andersonsaid a lot of Minnesota hay was sold off the field.“Ask yourself, who was willing to harvest hay andtake the time and space to store it for an opportunityto dig it out this winter?” he asked. “Not a lot ofyounger farmers are interest in raising hay nor aretheir bankers. Older farmers with old paid-for equip-ment enjoy making hay and many may still havesome hay available.”

So are we mostly talking “grassland hay” or isthere good-quality alfalfa on the market today?Anderson said, “good quality hay needs to be raisedon the same ground that can raise good quality corn

or soybeans. Good quality hay is therefore in shortersupply.”

He mentioned going to a hay auction in Litchfield,Minn., in mid-November and said hay was up over$100 per ton compared with just a few months ear-lier. The top lot of alfalfa hay at Litchfield that daywas $330/ton; two weeks earlier the top lot at SaukCentre was $340/ton.

Hay auctions are also regular weekly events at

Hutchinson, Minn., and other areas with salesbarns.

So with perhaps even more corn and soybeanacres next year what happens to hay production? “Ithink the real question is who is going to plant theiracres to alfalfa when $350 to $400 cash rents arecommon versus corn acres potentially grossingmore than $1,500 per acre,” Anderson said. He’s aveteran alfalfa producer so five-plus tons per acre(five cuttings) are old hat for him.

He claims alfalfa acres need to be rotated forlongevity and maximum production. But he asksthe stubborn question, “when that alfalfa field getstoo old and is plowed what is the farmer going toreplant?” He answers his own question by asking“What would the price of alfalfa hay have to be toconvince a corn and soybean farmer to say to him-self, ‘I think I would rather plant hay than corn orsoybeans’?”

Kieffer can be reached at (800) 707-0014. Ander-son’s e-mail address is [email protected]. ❖

Ask professional engineer Alan Larsen with AnezConsulting Inc. in Willmar, Minn., why new tech-nologies keep popping up in agriculture and hesaid, “cost of production is the primary driver.Farmers have become keen businessmen. They’requick to note the potential of a new strategy butdon’t always have the analytical resources to makebest decisions.”

Larsen said that manure management falls intothat category. Anez specializes in environmentalcompliance and crop consulting.

“A growing business for us is working with live-stock producers assisting them to get maximumnutrient value out of their livestock manure.Equally importantly today is the positioning of thatmanure according to crop potentials, soil types andespecially landscapes of those fields so that nutri-ent loss is negligible or even non-existent,” saidLarsen, a University of Minnesota civil engineeringgraduate “several years ago.”

He said this is somewhat of a moving target sub-ject to current county and state regulations andsometimes even projecting what future rules mightcome into being regarding soil conservation andnutrient management. That also suggests soil sam-ples and soil analyses perhaps need to be done on amore-frequent basis.

How often should manure be analyzed whenbeing pumped from open lagoons or pits beneathslat-floored livestock facilities? That’s a tough callbecause it’s more a function of how well the manureis agitated prior to pumping, Larsen said.

Is this suggesting further processing of manurevia anaerobic digesters will be happening to har-vest even more product value? Yes, there is a trendline getting established partly due to governmentincentives for bio waste energy production. Larsencautions that these same incentives for cogenera-tion of electricity and hot water also generate emis-sion issues and air quality permitting issues.

“This rapidly can get expensive and whether itsEPA or MPCA there isn’t yet enough data or knowl-

edge to validate decisions being made. So the verydevelopment of these technologies and marketingstrategies at the farm level is also discouraged bypotential air-quality issues,” Larsen said.

Obviously costs of electricity are part of the eco-nomic analysis of the role of bio digesters in live-stock operations. So too are the availability ofincentives, be that through the local utility or stateand/or federal sources. He said that Vermont, forexample, offers incentives to its livestock producersto go the manure digester route.

“We don’t yet have state incentives in Minnesotabut who knows what’s ahead. You need some scaleto justify these investments. At a recent Syracuse,N.Y., conference a 1,000-cow dairy was establishedas the starting point,” he said.

What’s ahead for on-farm wind power? In Min-nesota it’s the 39 Kw “net metering” law, Larsensaid. Net metering refers to selling the electricalenergy produced by your wind turbine back to yourlocal utility.

This issue gets discussed at each legislative ses-sion but so far no change, partly due to the persua-sive power of Minnesota’s extensive cooperativeutility structure. In essence increasing the netmetering standards decreases potential revenuestreams of each local utility.

What mostly drives the agenda of Anez Consult-ing? Primarily their nutrient management servicesto both crop and livestock producers. And, perhapsthe added carrot is the simple reality that this firmprovides consulting without having anything tosell, other than advice. “And that often gets us into‘writing prescriptions,’ so to speak, on combinations

of manure and commercial fertilizer. We also dopest scouting and prescribe treatments for pestcontrol,” Larsen said.

With this growing professionalism in agricultureare manure nuisances becoming less an issue?Larsen thinks so, partly due to farmers showingmuch more concern about their neighbors. Also thesimple fact that farmers are getting smarter andtechnologies are getting better.

“We’re getting a track record on favorableresults. Farmers are open and often willing todemonstrate what they are doing to facilitate theenvironment. It’s fun being in this business whenyou’re working with winners,” Larsen said.

His firm is a primary consultant with Wayne andLaura Dahl, Lac qui Parle County recently hon-ored as National Environmental Winners in porkproduction.

From his perspective the ongoing disagreementsbetween livestock producers and regulatory agen-cies, such as the Minnesota Pollution ControlAgency and the Minnesota Department of Agricul-ture, is just part of the rule-writing process intoday’s bureaucracy. He said that language some-times may not be rule-driven but instead comesfrom someone within an agency that is agenda-driven. “That’s a part of the beast we live with,” hesaid.

Larsen was interviewed at the recent MidwestDairy Expo in St. Cloud, Minn. ❖

Minnesota’s Department of Agricul-ture may not have a reputation for beingoverly generous during an economicsqueeze, but thanks to some unusedmonies from the ethanol assistance pro-gram dating back a few years, somebucks are still available to assist Minnesotalivestock producers. On top of that, this isgrant money, meaning it does not need to be repaid.

The program is called the Livestock InvestmentGrant, and livestock producers can apply for up to10 percent of the eligible expenses.

“Size of operation isn’t any issue so any type ofbuilding (be that new or remodeled), site prepara-tion expenses, a new milking parlor, even new live-stock fencing and forage handling equipment can beconsidered. Manure handling expenses is also eligi-ble. So it’s really anything that pertains to livestockoperations in the state,” said Curt Zimmerman,MDA’s Livestock Development team supervisor.

First funded in 2008, 89 grant recipients haveinvested an estimated $31 million in their livestockoperations.

“The Livestock Investment Grant program helpsencourage long-term development in Minnesota’s$7 billion livestock sector,” said Dave Frederickson,

MDA commissioner.How do you score high enough to get a grant? Zim-

merman said first considerations are given to younger,beginning farmers or older livestock farmers who aretransitioning to a son or daughter operation. Equallyimportant in the evaluation is whether this particularexpense is beneficial to the environment in any way.

He pointed out that virtually any livestock equip-ment purchase has some impact on the environmenteven the big capacity manure spreaders. “Fewertrips across the fields, less fuel being used, perhapsbetter applications which permit better use by thesoils of the manure,” Zimmerman said.

His point being that virtually anything a livestockproducer does to improve production also helps theenvironment. Because this program involves theusage of state dollars there has to be a positiveimpact for all concerns. He also said that the Min-nesota livestock industry is a huge contributor to theoverall state economy so these Livestock InvestmentGrants are using state money in proper fashion.

A maximum of $50,000 is set, “caps” per year by the

MDA have been in the $25,000 to $30,000range. However, a livestock producer canapply in multiple years until reachingthat $50,000 plateau.A minimum invest-ment of $4,000 starts the process.

The program applies to any speciesof livestock production. It also mightprovide funds for those unintended ornatural disasters disrupting a live-stock operation.

“We’ve had some areas of the state impacted bymajor weather events that have resulted in improve-ments having to be made to afflicted livestock farms.Even a major health issue such as a TB break areunintended consequences which can qualify forassistance through the program. Also includedwould be livestock losses due to incredible heatwhich happened in 2011,” Zimmerman said.

This program is unique to livestock farmers andthe MDA applauds Gov. Mark Dayton and the Min-nesota legislature for this “extra concern” for theMinnesota livestock industry.

Zimmerman said the application requests informa-tion on an individual’s livestock operation, theimprovements desired, dollar amount of the expendi-ture and information from the producer on how thisparticular grant request benefits the environment ofthe producer and his/her immediate neighborhood.

Quickest access to the application form is throughthe MDA website, www.mda.state.mn.us. Applica-tions can be filled out and submitted online directlyback to the MDA. The deadline for applications isJan. 14 in the MDA office in St. Paul. Contact Zim-merman at (651) 201-6150. ❖

Size of operation isn’t any issue so any type of building,site preparation expenses, a new milking parlor, evennew livestock fencing and forage handling equipmentcan be considered.

— Curt Zimmerman

OK, you’ve just stepped out ofyour still-smoking, soot-coveredtime machine after travelingfrom 1962 to 2012.

And you want to go ice fishing.Undoubtedly, you brought

along your ice spud or handauger, a pail to sit on and a jig-ging stick. We understandthings were simpler back then.

But as long as you’ve arrivedwell into the new millennium,you may as well equip yourself with some of the lat-est and greatest ice angling equipment.

Call us all softies, but comfort, convenience andtechnology are the watchwords of today’s ice-anglers.

Good, old-fashioned muscle power sometimesworks for drilling holes early on but when the icegets thick, mobile ice fisherman now look to poweredaugers to stay on fish.

Until recently, that meant smoky, smelly and oftencantankerous two-cycle engines.

But a couple years ago, Jiffy introduced a propane-powered unit. New this year in the Strikemaster lineis a four-stroke unit auger powered by a reliableHonda power head.

And for anglers who really want to go green, theIon is a lithium battery-powered electric unit thatmanufacturers claim will drill 40 holes through two-foot-thick ice before needing a charge, and all withnary a whiff of exhaust fumes. About $500 for any ofthe aforementioned models.

Portable, fabric-sided shelters have been popularfor anglers for the last 25 years and have beenrefined for greater convenience, comfort and mobility.Most manufacturers now offer the standard flip-overand hub-and-frame designs.

But the big trend with the major shelter players —Clam, Otter, Frabill and Eskimo — is some type ofthermal insulation fabric. In theory, at least, theinsulated models will minimize interior condensationand keep occupants more comfortable. Ring up about$300 for a one-man model and $600 or so if you wantto fish with a friend.

And speaking of comfort, nowadays, we like to staywarm while staring at that hole in the ice. Sun-flower-style propane-fueled heaters will keep youtoasty on even the coldest days. Just be sure to haveadequate ventilation.

A heater purported to be safer, equipped with ashut-off mode if oxygen levels fall to dangerous lev-els, is the Buddy heater. About $35 for the former,$80 to $130 for the latter, depending on the model.Propane not included, naturally.

Underwater cameras have become commonplace inareas where water is clear enough to use them. Earlymodels offered black-and-white cameras and withthe exception of the Aqua-Vu Z Series systems thatutilized a projection system, relied on conventionalcathode ray picture tubes for viewing.

But just as tube-based televisions have fallen outof favor in homes, underwater viewing systems have

made the conversion to flat-panel, LED/LCD technol-ogy, frequently in color.

What’s more, present systems are designed to bemore user-friendly and self-contained.

Marcum and Aqua-Vu, the primary players in theunderwater viewing system market offer a variety ofmodels. Perhaps one of the niftiest is Aqua-Vu’sMicro, a viewing system which features a walnut-

sized camera and a color monitor about the size of asmart phone. Plan on forking over $300 to $600.

Most ice anglers would argue that fishing withouta flasher is akin to fishing blind and for years, Vexi-lar and Marcum have been familiar names. Morerecently, Humminbird, a name traditionally associ-ated with open water fishing, has expanded into a

It was no trashy gift. Well, maybe itwas kind of trashy. Either way, it wasa highly unusual way to expressChristmas love, and peace and good-will among men.

Or among husbands and wives.

Gift-giving can be tricky, indeed.When I was growing up on the farm,there were seven kids to buy for atChristmas time. Surely, it was quite atime-consuming task (not to mention

an expense) to orchestrate. My mother— always the thinker — decided itwould help if she could narrow it downto three gifts per kid. We got somethingwe needed, something we wanted andone surprise.

That was Christmas morning, timesseven.

Now that I’m all grown up with kidsof my own (who are also grown), I havecome to appreciate that notion all the

more. Do we really need togive our kids more thanthree things on Christmasmorning as they’re growingup? … as we try to teachthem the real meaning ofChristmas? … as we work tolive within our means? …and because of that, as wetry to teach our kids what itmeans to “live happy?”

I think about that everyyear as I prepare my Christ-mas list. I think about howsimple times were back then, and howappreciative people were of those sim-ple things. I think of how it has helpedme to appreciate living simply, andbeing happy with what I have, insteadof wishing for what I don’t have. Afterall, there will always be others withmore than I, no matter how much Ihave.

It’s kind of like that saying, “Home iswhere you make it.”

A couple of years ago, my husbandsurprised me with a most unusualChristmas gift. It wasn’t like the timehe gave me a garbage disposal, and letme find later on that he had tucked abeautiful pair of earrings inside of it.

Good save ... and a fun thing for ourchildren to witness.

I’ve heard women say that if theyhave to plug it in, or if it can bededucted on their farmer-husband’staxes, they don’t really want it. I guessthis means that women are not allpractical, and like to be spoiled a littlebit now and then.

This is where my husband’s trashygift enters the picture.

As a farmer, he can’t help but bepractical in nature. It’s part of who heis, and it’s really one thing that is sogreat about almost all farmers. Theylike gifts that make life easier — inboth giving and receiving. Really,what’s not to like?

We all got up that Christmas morn-ing — a little later than we used to getup when our children were small. Ourrule back then was, “No one is upbefore 7 a.m.” After all, with a verybusy Christmas Eve schedule, it gotlate before the children could get tobed, and before Santa was able toarrive. (Even Santa was dragging

pretty good by that time ofnight.) But back then, 7 a.m.took an eternity to arrive ifyou were a Schwaller kid.Not so anymore.

We gathered in the livingroom to have our first gan-der at all the gifts wrappedin beautiful paper and rib-bon. We got breakfast in theoven so it could be readylater, and were all makingour way into the living roomwhen I stopped at the

kitchen sink to get a drink of water. Itwas then that I spotted it.

When I looked out the window, Icould see long, red ribbons billowingfrom a tall pipe out in the grove. It washooked onto something that looked likea very large barrel with a lid. As mymind was paging through ideas of whatthat could be out there, my husbandsaw me looking, smiled, and said, “Hey!You’re not supposed to be looking outthere yet!”

Turns out, he had made me a verylarge trash barrel, complete with a lidthat hinges open and shut, and a pipeso that the trash will burn even whenthe lid is closed.

It was a farm wife’s dream. It seemsthat those trash barrels fill up soquickly, even when you recycle as muchas you think you can. Burning thetrash becomes a very time-consumingchore. This one was huge, and seemedquite handy.

Many a wife — and possibly, many afarm wife — probably would havethought this to be less than what shehad hoped for in regard to a Christmasgift. But I loved it, not only because ofthe fact that it would make my life(and maybe his) a little easier, but hemade it himself, which was also prettyspecial. “Trashy” gift or not, it was agreat one, even if my husband coulddeduct it from our taxes. It was part ofliving simply.

However, you can believe that Iexamined the interior for a beautifulpair of earrings before I ignited myfirst batch of trash in it.

CROSS, from pg. 17line of flashers aimed at the ice fishing market. Depend-ing on the features, expect to shell out $300 to $600.

Combination units by Marcum and Vexilar thatfeature underwater systems and depth sounders in asingle unit also are available for anglers with deeppockets. Ka-ching! $1,200.

That jigging stick you brought along will still catchfish but anglers long ago discovered that conven-tional spinning reels and compact rods work great forice fishing. But the latest item touted in ice anglingcircles is the in-line reel.

Resembling a down-sized, single action fly-reel, theadvantage is claimed to be no line twist which canimpart a spinning motion to baits, a turn-off forfinicky fish. $25 to $50 for reels only; $40 to $80 forrod-reel combos.

Of course, a new reel will need line. You can spoolup a conventional warm-weather line. But you willbe better served to spring for a line specially engi-neered to provide enhanced sensitivity and remainflexible in a cold water environment. Expect to shellout $3 to $4 for a 110-yard spool of monofilament

upwards to $10 for a 60-yard spool of the braidedversions.

Finally, there’s the tackle. Forget about just dan-gling a minnow beneath a bare hook. That can workat times, but nowadays, we like plastic, lures thatswim or make noise. Figure on blowing through a C-note in no time at all.

Using conservative numbers, let’s just figure you’lldrop a cool $1,500 minimum to get up to speed withthe present-day ice fisherman.

And that’s before you spend a dime on live bait.Hope you brought a credit card.John Cross is a Mankato (Minn.) Free Press staff

So much for falling milk production.November output in the top 23 statestotaled 14.9 billion pounds, up 1.1 per-cent from November 2011, accordingto the U.S. Department of Agricul-ture’s preliminary data. Output in the50 states, at 15.97 billion, was up 1percent. Revisions added a millionpounds to the original October esti-mate, now put at 15.2 billion, down

slightly from a year ago.November cow numbers, at 8.47 mil-

lion, were up 8,000 from October but3,000 less than a year ago. Output percow averaged 1,758 pounds, up 19 from2011.

Wisconsin was up 4.7 percent thanksto a 70-pound gain per cow and 6,000more cows. California was down 2.3percent despite 2,000 more cows buthigh feed costs dropped output per cowby 45 pounds. That was evident in Ari-

zona as well where outputper cow plunged 85 pounds,cow numbers dropped12,000 head, resulting in thestate’s output being down 2percent from a year ago.

Idaho was up 2.3 percentdespite a 40-pound drop percow but cow numbersremained the same. NewYork was up 3.2 percentthanks to a 55-pound gainper cow. Pennsylvaniainched 0.4 percenthigher on a 20-poundgain per cow but cownumbers were off 5,000head. Minnesota was up 4.5 percentthanks to a 70-pound gain per cow. Cownumbers were unchanged.

Dairy Profit Weekly says,based on weekly and

monthly data, 2012dairy cow slaughter ison pace to surpass 3

million, the highest totalin 17 years. USDA began differentiat-ing dairy cow slaughter from total cowslaughter in 1986. Since 1986, dairycow slaughter has topped 3 milliononly twice, in 1986, at 3.595 million (ayear influenced by the federal wholeherd buy-out program) and 1996, at3.037 million.

MIELKE MARKETWEEKLY

By Lee Mielke

See MIELKE, pg. 23

MIELKE, from pg. 22facturers are seeing steady to slowlyincreasing volumes. Better thanexpected component levels are addingto cheese yields.

The Foreign Agricultural Servicereported quota imports of cheese for Jan-uary-November totaled 160.5 millionpounds, up 6.6 percent from a year ago.Exports of cheese for January-Octobertotaled 486.6 million pounds, up 20 per-cent from a year ago and exports accountfor 5.4 percent of U.S. production.

Cooperatives Working Togetheraccepted 41 requests for export assistancethis week to sell 7.547 million pounds ofcheese and 1.318 million pounds of butterto customers in Asia, the Middle East andNorth Africa. The product will be deliv-ered through June and raised CWT’s2012 cheese exports to 123.2 millionpounds, 72.4 million of butter, 127,868pounds of anhydrous milk fat and171,961 pounds of whole milk powder to36 countries on four continents.

Speaking ofworld trade, theU.S. DairyExport Council says President Obama’sDec. 14 signing of legislation grantingpermanent normal trade relations toRussia represents a major step towardreopening business with one of theworld’s largest dairy buyers. U.S. dairysuppliers have been shut out of theRussian market since September 2010.

The president’s action followed suc-cessful bipartisan votes by the Houseand Senate in the lame-duck session ofCongress that began Nov. 13. TheNational Milk Producers Federationand USDEC actively supported PNTRfor Russia and applauded the govern-ment’s actions to put the bill into law.

“Twas the week before Christmasand all through the market, cheese didmove higher but did not rocket.” Theblock price closed that Friday at $1.74per pound, up a penny and a half onthe week and 17.75 cents above a year

ago. The barrels closed at$1.6550, up 3 cents on the week,

9.5 cents above a year ago, but8.5 cents below the blocks. A lot ofcheese was brought to Chicago thisweek; six cars of block and 32 of barrel.The Agricultural Marketing Service-surveyed block price fell to $1.8141,down a nickel. The barrels averaged$1.7546, down 4.6 cents.

Butter erased the previous week’shalf-cent advance, closing Friday at$1.5375, down 5.75 cents on the weekand 5.75 cents below a year ago. Ninecars found new homes on the week.AMS butter averaged $1.5944, down4.1 cents. AMS powder averaged$1.5456, up 0.3 cent, and dry wheyaveraged 65.41 cents, down 0.9 cent.

Butter production is active throughoutthe country, according to DMN, as creamuse for ice cream, sour cream, dips, andother holiday related items declines.

The Federal order Class I base milkprice kicks off 2013 on a down note.

The Ag Department announced theJanuary mover at $18.97 per hundred-weight, down $2.42 from Decemberbut 17 cents above January 2012 andequates to about $1.63 per gallon.

The AMS butter price averaged$1.6126 a pound, down 27.3 centsfrom December. Nonfat dry milk aver-aged $1.5442, up 3.3 cents. Cheeseaveraged $1.8250, down 24.7 cents,and dry whey averaged 65.88 cents, up1.4 cents.

Looking “back to the futures;” firsthalf 2013 Class III contracts portendedan $18.26 per hundredweight averageon Dec. 7, down from $18.74 the weekbefore, $18.47 on Dec. 14, and was trad-ing around $18. 39 late morning Dec.21. First half 2012 averaged $15.90,just in case you were wondering.

Local Corn and Soybean Price Index

Grain AnglesBullish, but nottoo enthused

Currently the grain markets are fundamentallybullish, yet lacking much enthusiasm.

The soybean market saw a $3.70 slide from thesummer high mark and is now trying to stage a rallyto buy some acres to be planted in the spring. Thecorn market has drifted lower aswell, yet has established a side-ways trading range, that lacks asolid trend. The wheat marketshave been in a solid trading rangesince summer harvest and areshowing a test to support levels.

All of this dreary price action ina tight supply and demand envi-ronment is counter intuitive tosay the least.

The futures spreads give us agood indication of the commercialoutlook on market fundamentals.Corn and soybeans continue toshow an inverse, meaning nearby contracts arehigher priced than deferred contracts. The strongerthe inverse of price between the contracts, the morethe market could recover from its sell-off.

Price instability and volatility will likely remainthe name of the game in 2013. The biggest gamechanger could be the South American weather. Somehave made long-term bearish price forecasts basedon incredible production in both Brazil andArgentina. Yet, the same was expected to occur inthe United States in 2012 and never materializedbecause of the drought in the Midwestern Corn Belt.

The same could happen in South America in 2013,thus many traders will remain tentative sellersuntil the crop is well on its way to the bin.

The market impact of the South Americanweather is not the only factors playing into this list-

bean pit, long liquidation, improving conditions inBrazil, and uncertainty of the U.S. budget all con-tributed to the collapse this weekas March corn closed at $7.02,down 28 3⁄4 cents for the week.

March corn partially filled thegap left on the chart from back inJuly from $6.83 1⁄2 to $6.90 1⁄2,reaching $6.87 1⁄2 per bushel.During the week, March cornclosed under $7.00 for the firsttime since July. The gap areacoincides closely with the 200-daymoving average at $6.79 perbushel which we haven’t tradedunder since June. After closinglower in 10 out of the last 11 ses-sions, corn staged a modest bounce into the weekend.

December 2013 corn had the added negativity ofInforma Economics’ huge 2013-14 corn acreage num-ber of 99.0 million acres, the highest since 1936. Thisis an increase over last year of 2.1 million acres with2.7 million acres from Conservation Reserve Programincluded in the total. Using a yield of 161.8 bushelsper acre, they are anticipating a crop of 14.833 billionbushels. December 2013 corn was down 21 1⁄4 centsfor the week at $6.06 3⁄4 per bushel.

Weekly export sales were dismal once more at only4.5 million bushels, less than half of last week’s total.Total export sales commitments are the lowest forthis point in the marketing year since 1987, whenweekly export sales reporting began. Weekly ethanolproduction was 2,000 bpd lower this week at 822,000bpd and down 13 percent from last year. At this point

Livestock AnglesMore of the same,

yet differentIt seems that the livestock markets are the same

each week but at the same time different.The start of December has brought the same

behavior as we have seen all fall. The cattle and hogmarkets making sharp and erratic moves and bothmoving to lower prices.

The cattle market has seen pricesdeteriorate to some degree over thepast few weeks due mainly to a lackof demand for beef. Beef cutoutshave begun to drift lower because ofthe lack of interest in the retail andexport market. This has put thepacker in a position to try toacquire live inventory at lowerprices to try to maintain margins.

On the opposite side, theexpected lower cattle numbershave bolstered the speculators tomove heavily into the futures mar-ket in anticipation of the decreased supplies forcing thefutures prices higher. Despite the fact there are fewercattle anticipated, with cattle weights at all-time lev-els, beef production has not dropped off that drastically.

With demand continuing to shrink, the likelihoodof a dramatic move to a lot higher levels at this timeseem remote. The fact that speculative money is flow-ing into the futures market on the long side on tech-nical ideas, leaves the market vulnerable to some set-backs because of fundamental reasons. Thestumbling economy leaves a big question on what liesahead on the demand side of the market which willlikely be the catalyst of the future price direction.Therefore, producers are encouraged to monitor themarket and protect inventories when necessary.

The hog market appears to be stumbling a bit aftera nice recovery from the sharp downturn this fall.

NYSTROM, from pg. 25in the marketing year, the annual-ized corn grind is running at 4.585 bil-lion bushels versus the U.S. Department of Agricul-ture projection for 4.5 billion bushels. Ethanolstocks are at their largest since June.

Winter storms across the Midwest have eased someof the worry about spring moisture levels and shouldhelp with river levels as well. Moving rocks in theThebes area on the Mississippi River is proving effec-tive and the Corps of Engineers have been able todelay using explosives. Navigation in the area closesfor 16 hours per day, but no significant delays areanticipated with movement seasonally slow.

The Dec. 21 cattle on feed report was friendly forcorn with on feed and placements above expecta-tions and marketings slightly less than anticipated.Argentina indicated this week that their cornacreage will be down to 4.6 million hectares from4.7 million previously estimated.

OUTLOOK: Year-end liquidation and oversold con-ditions are making the market cautious about beingshort at these levels since this year’s ending stocksare tight and it’s uncertain how South America willhandle an extremely busy shipping season. Wintermoisture, however, may limit the upside for the timebeing for the December 2013 contract. While we arestill facing very tight stocks this year, it may takesome time for the market to re-engage. New Year’sprice history in March corn: the day before New Year’sit has closed unchanged or higher in each of the lastten years. The first day after New Year’s, it has closedunchanged or higher eight out of the last ten years.

SOYBEANS — As I write, the calendar is flippedto Dec. 21, the day the Mayan calendar said theworld would end. While the world hasn’t come to anend yet, it may seem that way to anyone with longsoybean positions.

Soybeans came under heavy pres-sure this week as China canceled a

total of 840 thousand metric tons ofU.S. purchases, and another 120 tmt to unknown des-tinations was also canceled (about 35 million bushelstotal). With demand curtailed and possibly switchingto South America, at least for now, sellers stepped inand buyers backed away. Here’s the rub concerningthe Chinese cancellations: chatter is that the cancella-tions could just be an adjustment to a frame contract.

A frame contract or “in principle only” contract usu-ally doesn’t have any pricing associated with it, butthe commitment to buy is what has been reduced.The Chinese signed one back in February with theUnited States for 13.4 mmt. Along with the cancella-tions is talk that China is still in the market to buybeans. In the weekly export sales report, it was notedthat 474.2 tmt of beans had been sold to China.

From the high on Monday in the January contractof $15.08 3⁄4 to the Thursday low of $14.02 3⁄4, beanswere off $1.06 high to low. While Christmas season-als are strongly positive, this setback puts that his-tory at risk. January beans have been higher the daybefore Christmas nine out of the last ten years andhigher the day after eight out of the last ten years.

Weekly export sales were ho-hum in beans at 22.8million bushels and less than the trade expected. Totalexport commitments for the year are 1.114 billion

bushels as compared to the USDA forecast for 1.345 bil-lion bushels. Informa Economics updated 2013 acreageestimate for U.S. soybeans is 78.96 million acres. This isup 1.8 million acres from last year.A crop of 3.411 billionbushels is arrived at by using a 43.8 bu./acre yield.There has been market chatter that Brazil’s bean cropcould be as large as 84-86 mmt on improved conditions.The USDA’s November estimate was 81 mmt.

OUTLOOK: A bounce ended the week and thestring of 3 consecutive lower closes. January soy-beans were down 65 1⁄4 cents for the week, settling at$14.30 3⁄4 and November 2013 was down 17 cents at$13.00 1⁄2 per bushel. The post-harvest low at $13.721⁄4 set in November is the next support for Januarysoybeans. March soybeans have closed higher the daybefore New Year’s for the last four years, and haveclosed higher the day before nine out of the last tenyears. The day after New Year’s, it has closedunchanged or higher in seven of the last ten years.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the weekended Dec. 21: March Minneapolis wheat was down22 1⁄4 cents with Chicago and Kansas City each 22cents lower. Crude oil gained $1.41 to close at $88.66,heating oil was up over 3 1⁄4 cents, gasoline was 5 1⁄2cents higher, and natural gas rose 12 1⁄2 cents. TheU.S. dollar was virtually unchanged for the week. Thenext USDA report is Jan. 11, which for the first timewill be released at 11:00 am CT. ❖

MARKETING

TEALE, from pg. 25Pork cutouts have eased back along with cash prices paidby the packers as their margins tightened once again.The positive for the hog market has been the gooddemand for pork over the past 30 days.This helped in therecovery of the cash prices paid by the packing industry.

Because of the disparity between pork and othermeats, consumers and exporters seem to have gaineda larger appetite for pork because of value. Season-ally, the hog market usually does not fair well during

December since the holiday buying is usually com-plete. As with the cattle, the economic situation willplay a major role in the demand for pork as well asthe other meat products.

In comparison to these other meats, pork is probablythe better value which should help in keeping hogprices from any dramatic price declines into next year.The futures market is at a premium at this timewhich indicates the trade is optimistic about futureprices. Producers should remain cognizant of marketconditions and protect inventories if warranted. ❖

Hogs are stumbling after recovery

NEHER, from pg. 25less weather market. The U.S. government weatherexperts say 2012 is “virtually certain” to go into therecord books at the warmest year on records back to1895. That projection comes as the National Oceanicand Atmospheric Administration said the January-to-November period in the contiguous United Stateswas the warmest ever for the first 11 months, at anaverage of 57.1 degrees Fahrenheit, 3.3 degreesabove the 20th century average and 1 degree abovethe previous record set in 1934.

History tells us that 1934 was also a very dry yearin the United States. One group of traders absentfrom the grain markets has been the investmentcrowd. As we know, they have a huge impact on howfar and how fast markets will move. As I have saidbefore, “the markets go where the money flows.” Thisgroup doesn’t like uncertainty, and they may stay onthe sidelines until the United States has either gone

over or avoided the “fiscal cliff” at the end of 2012.After that, investors may become more interested

in commodity markets.Around our house the preparations for the holiday

season are in full swing. I have been told that I can berather a “grump” when it comes to this type of activ-ity. I admit it, I do like the Thanksgiving season morethan the commercial crush of the Christmas holidays.

I know that I am rather “old school” when it comesto these types of things in my life. I remember sittingaround the kitchen table in the farm house makingpeanut brittle on cold winter nights before Christ-mas. We would sit there with bowls of unshelledpeanuts making a mess as the brittle was stirred onthe stove. As it was spread and cooled, seasoned witha light sprinkle of salt, I could taste the simple pleas-ures of being home for Christmas.

Take a moment this year to remember “the reasonfor the season.” ❖

There are back roads, and then there areback roads.

This one you’ll probably need a plane toget to. Oh, and also your passport.

On New Zealand’s south island, along ashort stretch of beautiful Pacific Oceanbeach a few hours south of Christchurch,are a collection of rocks unlike any you willfind anywhere else in the world. They arelarge, and they are nearly perfectly spheri-cal.

The largest one is nearly six feet in diam-eter — most are closer to two or three feet— and practically without flaw. Othershave lengthy fissures filled with tinyshelled creatures, or substantially brokenapart. One in particular is missing its tophalf, with its exposed hollow core a self-con-tained tide pool of sea life.

Where the boulders came from depends onyour perspective. The native Maori people’straditions tell of a giant canoe becomingwaterlogged and sinking at a point furtherdown shore. The crew and cargo werethrown to the sea, later washing ashore atMoeraki Beach. The large boulders aremassive gourds, while the smaller rocks aresweet potatoes, or kumara, from that fate-ful voyage.

Scientists explain the geological oddities— known as concretions — as having begunto form around 55 million years ago as limedeposits formed slowly and evenly aroundshells and pebbles on a quiet sea floor. Overmillions of years the region lifted, and thesoft cliff walls eroded, revealing the uniquestones to human eyes.

Either way, if you’re fortunate enough tofly to New Zealand and visit the Moerakiboulders as part of your trip, make sure toplan ahead — they’re only visible duringlow tide.

We’d hate for you to renew your passportfor nothing. ❖
