For most readers of The Land, every dayis Ag Day. But the Agriculture Council ofAmerica is setting aside March 15, 2016,as National Ag Day — a day to recognizeand celebrate the contributions of agricul-ture in America.

Recognizing agriculture’s contributionsshould be easy. From your morning cup ofcoffee (with cream) to the sheets you sleepon at the end of the day — and prettymuch everything in between — is madepossible through agriculture.

As with all good days of celebration,what better way to commemorate AgDay than a nice meal? Turkey dinnerwith all the trimmings is probably astretch on a work-day Tuesday. But pizza has all ofthe food groups in each slice.

Take a stroll through the aisles of any grocery storeand soak in everything our farmers have to offer.Toast agriculture with toast! Give thanks withfranks. Lettuce show our appreciation with fresh veg-etables and fruit. State your case at the dairy case.

Make that trip to the grocery store with your chil-dren (as grueling as the prospect can be). Our futureconsumers need to be aware milk doesn’t come fromtrucks. Good eggs can be brown. Healthy food can betasty and fun to eat — even if it isn’t on television.

When I was in grade school, some of our relativesfrom California came to see our farm. The visitors

who were my age had never before setfoot on a farm. They were literally in aweof the size of the cattle. They were takenaback by the tenacity of our old motherhen guarding her eggs. There were acresand acres of land with nary a parking lotin sight. Our most mundane chores werenew, unexplored adventures.

I think this scenario is more common-place today than it ever was and that doesnot bode well for the future of theprovider-consumer relationship. Knowl-edge is power. Tomorrow’s leaders need

that knowledge to make informed deci-sions concerning agricultural practicesand policies.

Farm kids are shrinking numbers; but you don’thave to be farm-raised to be farm-wise. There are ag-related occupations in horticulture, agronomy, educa-tion, science and research, engineering and veteri-nary medicine. Write stuff for an ag magazine.

It is in our best interests to make Ag Day a 365-day event. Make farms and/or businesses availablefor field trips by schools. Support 4-H, FFA and yourlocal county fairs. Speak up at your local caucus.Take your children to a local farmers market. Plant agarden.

And pass the pizza.Paul Malchow is the managing editor of The Land.

Ag Day your way

OPINION

LAND MINDS

By Paul Malchow

To the Editor:We appreciate Gov. Dayton’s

courage and persistence in callingout runoff from farm fields as aleading contributor to our state’spolluted waters. It is right for himto call on farmers to come up withsolutions that will work for farm-ers. The Governor’s Water Summitheld Feb. 27 was about bringingMinnesotans together to developsolutions to this problem. As farm-ers we have some ideas.

First, we must all acknowledgethat clean water is necessary forlife itself. It’s our obligation towork for clean water and govern-ment has a critical and appropri-ate role in ensuring our water isnot polluted. A large cause of farmrunoff is the result of so much offarmland being without covermost of the year. Corn and soy-beans are planted on 75 percent ofMinnesota farmland and aregreen for only 110 days of theyear. This creates a long brownseason, in which there are no liv-ing plants protecting the land’ssurface, and no living roots feed-

ing the soil’s biological life below.That leaves the land vulnerable tosoil erosion and runoff for most ofthe year.

We can change this by gettingmore living cover on our farms. Byusing more cover crops and peren-nial crops in our farming systemswe can have living cover on theland for most of the year. On afarm that has abundant green liv-ing cover on the land year round,water is stored in the soil and fil-tered through plant roots and liv-ing soil. More water stays on thefarm and water that leaves thefarm leaves clean.

Perennial crops include pasturefor livestock. The market forgrass-based meat and milk isstrong and growing. Incorporat-ing cover crops like winter rye,hairy vetch and tillage radish intorow crops can increase profits bydecreasing fertilizer inputs andsometimes increasing yields. Andat the University of Minnesota theresearch through Forever Green isdeveloping new cover and peren-nial crops and markets for these

crops.We know changing farming

practices is hard and that federalfarm policy often works againstfarmers using these practices.Current uses of cover crops isbelow 2 percent. We can do better.That’s why we encourage Gov.Dayton to set an ambitious goal of20 percent living cover on farm-land by 2020.

Gov. Dayton can direct the manystate agencies working on waterquality to develop a plan toachieve this 20 percent livingcover goal. These agencies (includ-ing the Department of NaturalResources, Department of Agricul-ture, Minnesota Pollution ControlAgency, Board of Soil and WaterResources, Department of Health)can put resources into getting thisdone, giving farmers the tools andincentives to be stewards. This isno small task, but if we don’t dothis we cannot clean our water.Ryan BataldenLamberton, Minn.Loretta JausGibbon, Minn.

Despite the bile pouring outthe nation’s capital, there stillare three daily events in Wash-ington, D.C. that every Ameri-can can count on: sunrise, sun-set, and U.S. farm groups’unwavering support for “free”trade.

In fact, most U.S. farm andcommodity groups support freetrade so reflexively that nearlyevery one gave the just-com-pleted Trans-Pacific Part-nership a full-throatedendorsement before the12-nation deal was madepublic or even signed.

That’s like buying a bull because it’s a bull; notbecause of its breed, pedigree or price.

TPP is like many recent trade deals — it’s mostlyabout reducing agricultural tariffs in targeted Amer-ican markets like Japan and Vietnam. “Tariff reduc-tions are a core element of the TPP,” declares theOffice of U.S. Trade Representative.

But tariff reductions will have little to no benefitfor U.S. farmers and ranchers if TPP nations countercheaper imports with higher subsidies to domesticproducers, as Japan recently announced.

“In a set of measures to cut the impact of trade lib-eralization under the planned Trans-Pacific Partner-ship accord,” reported The Japan Times on Nov. 15,“the ruling Liberal Democratic Party has includedstronger support for loss-making beef and pork farm-ers.” The support level “will be expanded to cover 90percent of the losses incurred…”

At least Japan is upfront about how it intends tobuild a non-tariff wall to protect its farmers anddomestic market from ... well ... us.

This lower tariffs/higher subsidies reality is not anew feature of U.S. trade deals. We’ve seen it in

almost every one since the early 1990s. It’s been ahuge benefit to Big Biz and Big Agbiz but far less sofor farmers and ranchers.

By PAUL MALCHOWThe Land Managing Editor

ST. PETER, Minn. — Minnesota’sCenter for Rural Policy and Develop-ment recently released its annualState of Minnesota Report. Each year,the Center assembles the latestdemographic and economic data onsubjects relating to population, house-hold income and farm earnings.

Since the 1990 census, the state’spopulation grew by about 1 millionpeople, to a population of 5.5 millionat the end of 2014. Not surprisingly,much of the growth occurred in theTwin Cities suburbs. Scott, Carverand Wright Counties more than dou-bled in population over that time. Thecentral lakes region of Minnesotaincluding Crow Wing, Cass, Hubbardand Beltrami counties also sawincreases of 30 percent or more.

On the other end of the spectrum,one-third of Minnesota’s counties lost

population over the same period oftime. The hardest-hit counties line thesouthern and western borders of thestate. Most counties in southwesternMinnesota saw a drop in population.The study shows these populationchanges are a continuing trend whichdates back to 1960. Conversely, since1960, the counties in a corridor from St.Cloud to Rochester have seen a cumula-tive population growth of 609 percent.

In 2014, Beltrami, Benton, BlueEarth, Clay, Lyon, Nicollet, Ramsey,Scott, Sherburne, Stearns and Winonacounties had the lowest median age inthe state — under 36 years of age. Itshould be noted many of these countiesare home to colleges and universitieswhich could affect these figures.

The core urban counties in the stateare expected to see a significantgrowth in senior (age 65-plus) popula-tion over the next 30 years. The 12counties surrounding the St. Cloud-St.

Paul corridor are projected to see a 90percent increase in senior populationby 2045. Other counties in that groupare Clay, Douglas, Nicollet and Olm-sted counties.

The study also states Minnesota’sestimated median household income in2014 was $61,473. The 23 counties inthe St. Cloud-to-Rochester corridorreported a median income of between$75,122 and $91,688. Scott Countyhad the highest at $91,688 while Mah-nomen County recorded the lowest at$39,926.

As a region, Minnesota’s north-cen-tral counties reported the lowestmedian income figures.

If you were to draw a diagonal linenorthwest to southeast across the Min-nesota map, you would roughly havethe dividing line for average farmearnings in 2014. Counties on the left

have markedly higher earnings thancounties on the right. Average earn-ings per farm worker in southern andsouthwestern counties typically fall inthe $65,000 to $157,000 range com-pared to under $14,000 for counties inthe north-northeast.

That same diagonal line delineatesthe farm workforce in Minnesota. Thestudy states about 2.2 percent of Min-nesota’s workforce is employed directlyin farming. However, that percentagejumps to 10 to 22 percent in northwest-ern, western and southern Minnesota.Marshall County had the highest per-centage of workforce working directly infarming at 22.4 percent.

To view the complete findings of thestudy, the report is available online athttp://www.ruralmn.org/publications/state-of-rural-minnesota. ❖

Center releases 2015 Rural Minnesota Report

GUEBERT, from pg. 3The handiest example is

Mexico: it made enormoustariff concessions to the United Statesunder the North American Free TradeAgreement. Since the deal was fullyimplemented in 1997 however, Mexicohas sold the U.S. $9.6 billion morefarm and food goods than U.S. farmersand ranchers sold Mexico.

Even with all the happy talk aboutlower tariffs, TPP’s overall projectedeconomic impact is so tiny it makesone wonder what all the fuss is about.And that’s only if the estimates areaccurate — a remote possibility atbest.

According to the Peterson Institutefor International Economics, (oftencited as the gold standard of economicforecasters) TPP will “increase real(U.S.) incomes by $131 billion (or 0.5percent of GDP), and annual exportsby $357 billion (or 9.1 percent of overbaseline projections) by 2030.” Bothnumbers, if even close to being accu-rate, are very modest indeed.

Worse, the Peterson Institute quicklyadds there’s no promise either forecastmight include a growing American agsector. It notes, rather glumly, TPP’s“agricultural provisions fall short ofdelivering ‘free trade’ on some sensi-tive commodities…”

In truth, calculates Dean Baker,economist and co-director of the Centerfor Economic and Policy Research, thetiny TPP projected income growth of

0.5 percent over the next14 years is akin to saying

“the country will be as richon January 1, 2030, as it would other-wise be on April 1, 2030.”

Whoever said economists have nosense of humor?

Neither number however, takes intoaccount TPP’s potential cost to Ameri-can food safety, suggests Steve Sup-pan, a senior policy analyst at theInstitute for Agriculture and TradePolicy.

“Only five of TPP’s 29 or so chaptersactually deal with trade issues,” herelates in a Feb. 18 telephone conver-sation. “The others deal largely withdismantling regulatory systems in theU.S. and elsewhere to facilitate widertrade.”

Little wonder Big Agbiz and its farmgroup allies fought to kill country oforigin labeling. It doesn’t “facilitatewider trade.”

Under the most optimistic TPPanalysis, say economist Dean Baker,wider trade will deliver benefits equalto what Americans will spend “on St.Patrick’s Days, over-the-counter teethwhiteners, and tattoos” between nowand 2030.

No word on how many bulls thatmight buy.

NORTH MANKATO, Minn. — In2014, the world economic output wasthe largest ever at $72 trillion and youmay have not heard this news — car-bon emissions were down slightly,according to the New York Magazine.Mother Nature sequesters carbon inoceans, trees and plants, and soils.Intensely managed corn and soybeancrops, using prescription agricultureand minimum inputs, are proven tosequester eight times more carbonthan Mother Nature.

“Gee, I think agriculture is probablypart of that, don’t you?” asked LowellCatlett to an auditorium of ag stu-dents and farmers attending the AgSymposium at South Central Collegeon Feb. 9 in North Mankato, Minn.

Catlett, known as a futurist, is deanof the College of Agricultural, Con-sumer and Environmental Sciences atNew Mexico State University.

Using humor and statistics, he cele-brated agriculture and brought a posi-tive message to students.

“It’s a fabulous time be alive. And it’sa fabulous time to be in agriculture,”said Catlett.

Catlett admits he’s “weird as hell,”but he related well to his audience ofall ages.

Dylan Harbitz, a first year ag busi-ness production major at SCC, willeventually take over his dad’s farmoutside of St. James. Catlett was hisfavorite speaker of the day.

“I really liked his personality. He wasa funny older guy,” said Harbitz. “Itgave me some more optimism aboutag.”

Harbitz was paying attention to thegrowing world population which willrely in part on U.S. agriculture. Catlettnoted the world population doubled to7.2 billion people since 1970. Thanks toagriculture, people are fed at 2,900daily calories for every man, womenand child.

“Agriculture is going to be highlydepended on in the future. I look veryforward to it,” said Harbitz.

World wealth is one reason thefuture is bright for agriculture.

“Beef consumption has doubled inIndia in the last decade. Enough Indi-ans got enough money, they go ‘Hell,we’re eating a cow,’” said Catlett.

In addition, agriculture now has themost differentiated market segmentson the planet.

Catlett offered many examples.Organic food wasn’t measured 20years ago and now organic represents4 percent of the food sector. And 10years ago, we didn’t measure glutenintolerance and today gluten-freeproducts are the fastest growing sectorin food. Take craft breweries — none in1970 and 4,000 today.

“We have the most critical shortageof hops ever,” said Catlett, who prefersCoors Light over a microbrew. “Youwanna make a fortune. Grow hops. It’sa weed.”

Then there’s the baby boomer gener-ation. According to Catlett, estimatesshow the net worth of 121 millionAmerican households is $87 trillion. Ofthat $87 trillion, 40 percent is realthings — such as buildings, land andequipment — and two thirds of thatnet worth is held by baby boomers.

“Get ready. You’re going to see in thenext decade the largest intergenera-tional transfer of wealth that’s everoccurred,” said Catlett.

While millennials get a bad rap forcell phone usage, Catlett said technol-ogy is second nature to them, whichhas the power to change the world.

For instance, Catlett said millennialsdon’t know the word taxi cab, becausethey use Uber via cell phones to getrides. This is called smart locationalservices and it connects people withneeds and wants with people that canprovide the products and services.Nobody’s better at it than millennials.

AG SYMPOSIUM, from pg. 5“We’re very technology dependent.

We need to use technology and cellphones to complement our career,”said Harbitz.

So you’ve got corn in the bins, whatabout a smart Uber system to sellyour grain to a dairy in the South-west, Catlett asked.

“What’s going to make more money?A smart overlay system or the oldway,” said Catlett. “Build those sys-tems because people will come.”Diversification

Emily Spear, who majors inagribusiness service and manage-ment at SCC, is 19 years old and grewup on a small hobby farm in GoodThunder. Her family had Black Anguscattle. She learned a lot at the AgSymposium. Based on statistics thatcaught her eye, Spear would like tohave a diversified operation withcrops and beef cattle.

“It’s looking like a good future forus,” said Spear.

In agreement with Spear is Moe Rus-sell, cofounder and president of Rus-sell Consulting Group, which providesmarketing and financial advice to cropand livestock producers. He was one ofthe speakers at the event.

“There’s more money to be madefarming than any other industry,” hesaid.

Russell recommends diversificationsuch as livestock, alternate crops,organic crops, non-genetically modifiedorganisms and natural meat. He notedthat the $34 billion organic industry isgrowing at double digit rates.

“You don’t have to be big to be prof-itable,” said Russell.

Trends are in place which will helpmake agriculture profitable again.Russell cited older farmers transition-ing out, cheaper used equipment, live-stock potential, slower growth in

global crop acres and technology. Infact, Russell is downright bullish onlivestock.

Russell explained agriculture iscyclical and he said he believes we arein the third year of a three-year cycle.He predicts $5 corn in the next 10years and that today’s prices will dis-courage corn acres.

Meanwhile, his advice is to differen-tiate your farm in animal comfort,water quality, nutrient managementand soil quality.

“I’ll guarantee you, you’ll get oppor-tunities five years from now thatyou’ve never dreamed of,” said Russell.

Savannah Zippel, a second year SCCagriculture education major in atten-

dance, aspires to teach agriculture inhigh school or for an extension service.

“It’s interesting to learn about diver-sification, increasing profits and bul-letproofing your assets,” said Zippel ofRussell’s presentation.

In the fall, Zippel will head to theUniversity of Minnesota-Crookston tocomplete her degree. Growing up inRosemount, Zippel showed and leasedanimals in 4-H.

Zippel was honored to introducespeaker Laura Daniels, an ag advocateand dairy farmer from HeartwoodFarm in Wisconsin. Daniels spreadspro-ag messages on social media eachday. Zippel witnessed how well Danielsconnects with the public. And Russellexplained just how important thefarmer-consumer connection is to anoperation’s bottom line. This is a lessonthat Zippel’s generation has receivedloud and clear.

The students also got a history les-son from Russell. He asked the audi-ence to raise their hands if theyfarmed in 1982-83. Many hands wentup and Russell congratulated them.

“You farmed in the toughest time inthe last 100 years and survived it,”said Russell. ❖

When it comes tothe Iowa wine andgrape industry, MikeWhite is creditedwith putting Iowa onthe map. He is theviticulture field spe-cialist at Iowa StateUniversity Extension and Outreach.But with trademark modesty, he says,“They mostly call me the grape guy.”

White credits the winter hardybreeding program of the University ofMinnesota as being the prime catalystfor Iowa vineyards and wineries.

“The cold climate viticulture devel-oped up here by our U of M friends hasgrown this upper Midwest industrytremendously. It’s growing faster uphere than the French wine business inCalifornia in the 1970s and ’80s,” saidWhite. “Canada is now onboard. East-ern Europe is getting into grapes andwines big time. And several of ournorthern states are now onboard.”

In Iowa, the industry is maturing.“We ramped up to about 100 winer-

ies five years ago and it’s flattened outtoday,” noted White.

But existing wineries have a biggerfootprint. They’re expanding by offer-ing events, music, wedding receptions,meetings, gift shops, distilleries andbed and breakfasts. Wineries arebecoming a destination for locals andtravelers. The beverage industryrelies on discretionary income andconsumers are willing to spend it onwine.

Iowans are having fun at their localwineries and that’s why this menu ofentertainment plus food and drink isbecoming the signature of more winer-ies, said White.

While the number of Iowa grape pro-ducers have declined, most remainingones are getting bigger.

“Acres are slightly higher,” he said.“That’s simply economy of scale work-ing.”

In-state promotion through favor-able legislation has been a driver.

“We didn’t have a cost-share pro-gram to help jump start the industry,”he said, “but we did have very openlaws for native wineries so it was veryeasy to start a winery in Iowa. Andonce that started happening the vine-yard fever started catching on fastsimply because now there were buyersfor the product just as soon as yourvineyard started coming into produc-

tion,” explained White.It’s a three-year process for vine-

yards to become productive.Blue ribbon

He gives Iowa vineyard operators ablue ribbon. They are producing qual-ity grapes which is the start of qualitywine. But it didn’t come quickly. Forinstance, he said in 2005, many peoplegot into winemaking as a hobby. Notso today.

“We’re producing fantastic winesjust like Minnesota is doing,” Whitesaid. “We’re winning internationalcompetitions. We go to California andwin competitions now.”

White said Iowa and Minnesotawines are competitive with any winesin the marketplace regardless of ori-gin.

So whose wine is better — Iowa orMinnesota?

White gave a tip of the hat to themore experienced winemakers inGopher country saying that the qual-ity of Minnesota wines is better thanIowa wines.

“Because your wine people haveworked with your cold hardy univer-sity-developed varieties, they’ve sim-ply had more time learning how tomake excellent wines,” he said. “AMinnesota Marquette or a MinnesotaLaCrescent — you can take them any-where in the world and win in compe-tition!”

In the national wine industry, 75-80percent of sales is sweet wines, saidWhite.

“Surprising to many, the number onewine grape in the Midwest is Concord.It’s become a popular blending wine,”said White.Politics

With the craft beer industry growingas rapidly as the wine industry, thereseems to be room for both in Iowa.White related that the mirobrewerybusiness is growing dramatically tothe tune of 73 microbreweries in hisstate. But Iowa law does not permit abrewery and winery to operatetogether under the same roof, heexplained.

“However, our resourceful legislatoris now writing up a law that says if awinery wants to also include a brew-ery, they can do that,” he said.

Is that politically wise? “One thing you learn fairly quickly

in this business is that the wineindustry and the alcohol business areall politics both at national and state

levels,” he said. “There are only aboutfive companies that pretty well controlthe alcohol industry in this world.They don’t like to see these small localwineries, or brewers or even these newdistilleries sprouting up all over.That’s directly taking their marketshare. So when you do try to influencelegislation for your particular niche,the big players will be there — Cali-fornia Wine Council, National Distrib-utors, Distillers Association, and such.They don’t want the native industry togrow.”

The good news, explained White, isthat the big alcohol lobbying compa-nies can’t get a foothold in Iowabecause they don’t have a major citylike Minneapolis and Chicago.

So why such significant growth ofthe wine industry, and now the micro-brewing industry in Iowa?

“In Iowa all politics are local,” hesaid. “So our state senators and repre-sentatives stay local; they make lawslocal. Because we have local politicswe get some pretty favorable legisla-tion to help us grow.”Leader

White did several years in ag retailmarketing seed corn and chemicals,

then joined the ISU Extension agron-omy department before gettinghooked on helping to develop theIowa grape and wine industry. Whitestarted working with grapes in 2000.In 2002, ISU decided they needed aviticulturist because of the highinterest in growing grapes.

“So I got to be the central Iowaagronomist and the state viticulturespecialist but with no increase in pay.By 2007 they could see the need for afull time viticulturist and here I am,”he said.

He enjoys the passion and willing-ness to seek and share informationgrape and wine people bring to theirwork.

“It’s such a welcoming group of peo-ple. I don’t see this in corn and soy-bean growers. The wine businessexists and grows because of discre-tionary spending,” he said. “They’rewilling to stick around, talk and befriends. That’s what’s neat about thisindustry.”

Mike White was interviewed at theMinnesota Grape Growers Associa-tion Cold Climate Conference on Feb.12 in Minneapolis. ❖

MINNEAPOLIS — Though not aheadline maker in the Minnesota ageconomy, Minnesota’s grape and win-ery business now includes over 1,500acres of vineyards and 70 licensedwineries. In an ancient industry, Min-nesota is making inroads.

Irv Geary, president of MinnesotaGrape Growers Association, growsgrapes in his North Branch vineyardand is a winemaker for Wild MountainWinery in Taylor Falls. At the ColdClimate Conference 2016, Feb. 11-13,MGGA celebrated its 40th year.

“It’s become a big industry in ourstate. It took us 25 years to figure outhow to grow high quality grapes andproduce high quality wines. We’vereached that pinnacle. We’re gettingnational and even international

recognition for high quality wines,”Geary said. “Our next step now is get-ting all Minnesotans aware of the factthat they can now buy and enjoysuperb wines produced right here inMinnesota.”

Market awareness is around the cor-ner as MGGA plans to launch an

advertising and promotion program inconcert with Minnesota Farm WineryAssociation that will raise awarenessof Minnesota-produced wines to allMinnesotans and beyond.

He told of a two-pronged programwith emphasis on education and avintner’s quality assurance program.In essence, a wine quality vetting pro-gram.

“Wineries can submit their wines fora quality assurance testing whichincludes special labeling on each bottleof Minnesota wine that meets thestandards. This has worked very wellin other states plus Canada,” saidGeary.Growing industry

Licensed wineries with public winetasting now number 45; but that num-ber expands yearly. MGGA member-ship now totals 550 including mem-bers from adjoining states plus someCanadian grape and wine aficionados.

“We have a lot of growers startingwith their half acre and 1 acre vine-yards. That has always been the pat-tern. But significant today is that weare seeing the launching of 40-acrevineyards. And very likely wine tast-ing and food tasting as part of thatbusiness complex once it’s opera-tional,” said Geary.

That’s exactly what the industryneeds to get established as a majorplayer in the Midwest economy andthis is what’s needed to fill the supplygap for locally-grown grapes to ourwineries he indicated.

“When one winery opens they need20 acres of grapes. Vineyards of thatsize are economically feasible and asvineyard size increases I think qualityof production tends to increase also.This makes the entire industry more

sustainable,” he said.Nursery stock is available, both in

Minnesota and some East Coast nurs-eries. Winterhaven Vineyard andNursery in Janesville is one source.With 14 white and red wine varietiesand two table grape varieties fromWinterhaven, grape growers have asubstantial number of choices. Choicesare dependent on soil type, topographyand location of the vineyard.

Cold hardy Marquette and Fron-tenac are two popular grape varietiesfrom the University of Minnesota.Geary suggested new growers mayhave gotten too bullish on Marquettewhen it was first released.

“It was advertised as being fully win-ter hardy in Zones 4A and better; butpeople were planting it in Zones 3Band 3A expecting it to survive. That iswhy the heavy winter kill in 2013-14,”said Geary. “Also Marquette is not aFrontenac. Frontenac is a work horse.Get it into the ground and it’s off to theraces. Marquette needs some coddlingand encouragement those first two tothree years. But you can’t plant it in3A and expect it to perform like it doesin 4B.”

His prospect for the 2016 season? “We had ideal fall conditions with

plenty of rain to get moisture into thevines. The winter has been relativelymild. The only concern is lack of snowin some areas but not an issue withmature vines. For the most part we’vehad a great fall and winter season,”said Geary. “Our vineyards shouldhave a great spring.”

Pesticide drift incidents areincreasing due to the growingnumber of vineyards sproutingacross the Minnesota land-scape.

Regina Wixon is director ofSouth Dakota AgriculturalLaboratories, Brookings, S.D.She explained pesticide drift hasalways been an issue with grape grow-ers, but the larger number has broughtthe issue to the forefront.

“Farmers aren’t always aware of thegrape growers,” she said. “That’s notnegligence on their part but rather sim-ply not keeping up with the ever-chang-ing landscape in our rural areas.”

She pointed out that pesticide drift isa problem in grape country even on dayswithout wind. Growth regulator herbi-cides including the phenoxy, benzoic andpyridine classes of compounds pose arisk because they can cause injury atfractions of typical application rates. Forinstance, 2,4-D can damage grapes at100 times lower than labeled rates.

Thanks to GPS technology,aerial applicators areextremely good at being on tar-get as they fly their crop fields.

“However even on no-winddays you can have volatiliza-tion of the chemicals beingapplied,” she noted.

Wixon indicated most chemi-cals for aerial application now haveadditives which reduce volitization butthat doesn’t infer there can’t be an issuewith such chemicals.

Glyphosate is widely used as adirected spray beneath vines because itis a non-volatile product.

She advises grape growers to know inadvance the chemical products beingused and learn precisely the applicationtechnologies — including weather,humidity, and wind conditions the dayof application.

”A good contact is the extensionservice in your locality or the agrono-mist at your local fertilizer-crop chemi-cal supplier. If that person is a certifiedcrop consultant, so much the better,”

she said.The Minnesota Department of Agri-

culture has a program called Drift-watch.

“It’s good to register your vineyardwith that program. And talk with yourneighboring farmers about when theymight be spraying their fields that arein the vicinity of your vineyard,” Wixonsaid.

Driftwatch is an online mapping reg-istry to promote communicationsbetween producers and pesticide appli-cators in support of ongoing steward-ship activities.

After a drift complaint is filed withMDA, an investigator will contact theproducer to obtain vegetation, soil,water, pollinator or other material sam-ples from the property for lab analysis.This also includes application records,

maps, photos, weather records, state-ments and labels of products used. Donot wait to file a complaint. To learnmore, visit https://mn.driftwatch.orgor www.fieldwatch.com.

Because of last season’s somewhatdry and extended fall harvest, residu-als of ag chemicals could be more of aproblem on dryer soils. The best proce-dure for a vine grower is to pull somesoil samples for testing to determinenot only soil nutrient content, butwhat residual issues might be presentfrom chemicals applied last season.

South Dakota Agricultural Laborato-ries charges $150 for pesticide residuetesting. Soil testing for nutrient valuesis $20 to $30 per sample, dependingupon the nutrients being measured.For pesticides residue sampling probes

DRIFT, from pg. 11of 3 to 6 inches deep and several probeswithin the hot area of a suspected loca-tion are suggested. But with a driftproblem, soil samples of zero to 3 inchesdeep are sufficient.

If you suspect pesticide drift, howsoon should you pull that sample?Immediately would be the correctanswer; but a more logical answer is assoon as possible, said Wixon. Cut a fewleaf samples into a freezer bag and sendfor overnight delivery to her SouthDakota lab. For other issues, workthrough your local extension contact ora local agronomist.

Turn-around time is a common com-

plaint when sending samples to ag test-ing laboratories. South Dakota Agricul-tural Laboratories, however, has anaverage turnaround time of seven days.

“We make a special effort to minimizethis time because it usually is of urgentimportance to the farmer or the grapegrower. Many labs doing pesticide worktake upwards of six months to get infor-mation back to the sender,” Wixon said.“We have it down to a science. We’veadopted elite manufacturing practiceswhich permit getting results outquickly and accurately.”

WILLMAR, Minn. — The Fed-eral Aviation Administration nowpermits companies to fly dronescommercially so agriculture dronescan gather data. Just as drones aretaking off, the Willmar and Litch-field area John Deere dealerlaunched Aerial Imagery Services.But Haug Implement is bucking the trend by usinga piloted aircraft to do aerial photography for itsprecision farming customers.

“It’s a matter of efficiency,” said Sam Romain,Haug’s integrated solutions consultant. Heexplained Haug Implement began its foray into aer-ial imagery services two years ago with battery-powered unmanned aerial vehicles. In 2015, Haugswitched to a pilot and Cessna 182 aircraft.

“With a manned aircraft and better camera, we’regetting 10-inch resolution. That is getting ratherprecise,” he said. “Using a drone, you drive to eachfield, unload the equipment, set it up, then fly thefield, hope you don’t crash, hope your battery powerlasts, then bring the drone back to your base, reloadthe equipment back into your vehicle, then drive tothe next field,” he said. “With this process you canonly do a limited number of acres each day.

“We have a Microsoft surface tablet set up as acomputer screen that we give to the pilot. Thisscreen tells him where to fly, what flight line to fly,

and each particular field over which to gather theimagery. We input all the fields into the tabletremotely. The pilot downloads that flight plan andthe computer tells him where to go. With our currentcamera, fields are flown at 1,000 feet to 3,000 feetelevation depending upon the mission.”

Jim Larson, a senior member of the Haug precisionfarming team, thinks this entry into aerial imagerywith a manned aircraft is exactly the right technol-ogy at the right time.

“I’ve noticed in recent years, farmers, both big andsmall, want to be more precise in everything they doon every piece of ground they have,” said Larson.“When the dealership started with precision farmingtechnology back in 1995 we made a commitment togrowers that we would teach them how to use it.Because of that commitment, a long-term relation-ship developed with growers.”

Larson also does some farming and noted that hehas 15 years of yield data sitting on a database.

“If I choose to use aerial photos and NVDI maps Imay need a little help integrating this new productinto my current database,” he said. “Now we’ve gotguys like Sam who can assist in that process.”Data analysis

Haug’s image processing server is AgPixel, whichoffers a 24/7 data-viewing portal available with alogin, explained Romain. A new server has the capa-bility to process up to 1 million acres per day.

“AgPixel is a great information server for thisentire precision farming arena. Previously wehaven’t been able to measure the performance of thecrop during the growing season other than by drive-by or manual scouting,” Romain said. “Now, throughthis mapping service, we can see precisely problemareas on every square foot of our fields. This givesgrowers the ability to measure the crop during thegrowing season and apply whatever remedial appli-cations might be needed to correct a deficiency.”

The number of acres per hour which can be coveredwith the aircraft depends on how close the fields areand how high you are flying.

On a good day they could do 15,000 acres or more.It’s important to get multiple images of fields, evendown to the same spot per field, explained Romain.

“How many pictures depends upon how big the

field and how low your flight paths. If you’re lower tothe ground, you have more pictures,” he said.

The imagery can help farmers identify and pin-point crop issues. The “bread and butter” of theimagery is normalized difference vegetation index,explained Romain.

“NDVI is really good at telling you where the planthas stress. It’s not going to say, ‘that’s a disease’,‘that’s a bug’, ‘that’s nitrogen deficiency’ but it willtell you where you have problems, even down to thesquare foot within your field,” said Romain. “So it’sup to the grower or his crop consultant to then gointo that field and visually determine what actuallyis the problem at each of these problem locations.

“When you or your crop consultant gets into thatparticular field we provide a map which details pre-cisely where to go to identify the issue.”

Since correction time can be vital, the time it takesfor the information to get in the hands of the farmeror crop consultant is vital as well.

“It could be the same day,” said Romain. “We have aseven day acquisition window because of particularweather disturbances that could impact our flyingresponse time. Last summer, Canada caught on fire.All that smoke drifted down to us and we couldn’t fly.But ideally we can get the necessary informationback to the grower the same day we fly his fields.From the time we fly a grower’s field to the time wehave that information on a web portal so the growercan log it on to his own computer, our goal is 48hours or less.”

Plant populations can also be counted, but Romainsaid that will mean flying lower and using a moreprecise camera and extra processing.

The aerial images can detect nutrient deficienciesthat can be remedied with foliar applications.

“The image will guide you to where you need to golook in your field,” said Romain. “Essentially if yousee green you are looking at healthy plants. If yousee red you are seeing issues. Then it’s a matter ofwhat particular corrective action needs to be taken.This is why a professional crop consultant is oftenneeded for definitive answers.”

Local Corn and Soybean Price Index

Grain AnglesLetter tolandlords

Farmland rental rates are in flux. Many clients Iwork with are negotiating rental rates for comingyears which are lower than where they’ve been inthe past few years.

How do you build a rapport and work together tocultivate a mutually beneficialrelationship with your landlord?The first thing is to establish aconnection and put a face to thefarm in any way you can. Aftertalking to many clients and hear-ing about the challenges they’refacing, I drafted an open letter tolandlords to give renters a jumpstart on communicating andnegotiating in good faith withtheir landlords.Dear Landlord,

There is a lot of volatility in vir-tually every agricultural com-modity market right now. And things don’t look likethey will improve any time soon. Have you consid-ered how the current economic climate in the agindustry affects farmers and landowners?

Regardless of the markets, my first priority hasalways been — and will continue to be — practicinggood stewardship of your land. This includesemploying appropriate farming practices, fertilityand conservation. My success depends on takingcare of your land and that will never change.

Agriculture is facing some serious challenges aswe move forward. The same emerging economieswhich created very good demand for all commoditiesin the early 2010s (including corn, soybeans, andproducts such as ethanol) are now struggling with

Grain OutlookEarly gains evaporate

The following marketing analysis is for the weekending Feb. 26.

CORN — A bounce higher on Monday on short-covering and a wet weekend in Argentina turned outto be a head fake, as Monday’s gain evaporated withfour consecutive lower closes intothe weekend. Positioning aheadof the U.S. Department of Agri-culture February Outlook Forumon Feb. 25 and 26, a lack of bull-ish news, weak demand and ahigher U.S. dollar pressuredChicago Board of Trade pricesinto the USDA OutlookForum. Michael Cordonnierraised his South American cornproduction estimates, takingArgentina up 1.4 million metrictons to 25.0 mmt and adding .8mmt to Brazil’s estimate to 84.0mmt.

Weekly export sales were neutral at 36.8 millionbushels. Sales will need to average 24 million bushelsper week to achieve the USDA’s forecast for 1.65 bil-lion bushels of exports. Total export commitmentsare down 24 percent from last year when the USDAis projecting a 12 percent year-on-year decline inexports. The sale of another 210 thousand metrictons of corn to Columbia will be included in nextweek’s numbers. U.S. corn is competitive with SouthAmerican origins through May. China’s Januarygrain imports fell for the fourth consecutive monthwith less than 2 mmt and the lowest since November2014. China’s January corn imports were just 8 tmt,the lowest since September 2013. U.S. ethanol pro-duction last week was up 19,000 barrels per day at

Livestock AnglesMarkets stabilize

As the month of February comes to a close, the live-stock markets have either rallied slightly or stabi-lized in a trading range. The volatility which hasbeen present for the past several months has alsorelaxed to some degree. However, the return to morevolatility in price movement inthe weeks ahead seems verylikely as the disparity in livestockprices continues.

The cattle market over the pastfew weeks has appeared to stabi-lize in a small price range in bothcash and futures. The battlebetween supply and demand con-tinues as reflected in the priceaction during this period. Showlists continue to reflect the lack ofavailable inventory of market-ready cattle, while the absence involume in the boxed beef reflectsa slow demand for beef. It is unlikely this pattern willchange drastically in the weeks ahead until more cat-tle are available for slaughter or the disparity inprice between the competitive meats substantiallyimproves.

On Feb. 19, the U.S. Department of Agriculturereleased the Monthly Cattle on Feed Report. Theresults were almost equal to the estimates and wereseen as neutral and should have little or no effect onthe overall price action in the weeks ahead. The maininfluence on price will continue to be the strugglebetween weak supply and weak demand.

Therefore producers should closely monitor condi-tions and protect inventories when warranted.

The hog prices have been on an extended climb

NYSTROM, from pg. 15994,000 bpd. Ethanolstocks were down modestlyat 23.1 million barrels, the firstdecline in four weeks.

At the USDA’s February OutlookForum, corn acreage for 2016-17 wasforecasted at 90 million acres, slightlyabove the trade estimate for 89.6 mil-lion acres. Last year, U.S. farmersplanted 88 million acres to corn. Inthe last seven years, the OutlookForum’s planted acreage number hasdeviated from the March 31 inten-tions number by more than 1 millionacres just one time.

On the Forum’s balance sheet for2016-17, they used a yield of 168.0bushels per acre for production of13.825 billion bushels. This would bethe third-highest production ever ifproven correct. Carryout is projectedat 1.977 billion bushels with a stocks-to-use ratio of 14.4 percent, the high-est ratio since 2005-06. If correct, thiswould be the largest ending stockssince 2004-05. The 2015-16 carryoutis estimated at 1.827 billion bushelswith a stocks to use ratio of 13.6 per-cent. The Forum’s on-farm averageprice for 2016-17 is $3.45 per bushelcompared to this year’s mid-pointestimate of $3.60 per bushels. ThisFebruary Forum estimate is not sur-vey-based We have to wait for March31 to see those numbers.

The Chicago Mercantile Exchangeannounced this week they will imme-diately publish vomitoxin levels onwheat shipping certificates for wheatdelivered against the CBOT futurescontract. New CME trading hours forlive cattle, feeder cattle and lean hogelectronic futures and options wentinto effect Feb. 29. New hours are

8:30 a.m. to 1:05p.m. central time,Monday through Fri-

day. Open outcry options trading hourswill be from 8:30 a.m. to 1:02 p.m. cen-tral time, Monday throughFriday.

OUTLOOK: For the week, May corntumbled 9.75 cents to $3.59.5 perbushel, July fell 9.5 cents to $3.64.25,and December was 8.25 cents lower at$3.78.25 per bushels. This contract lowin May corn is $3.54.25 and is likely tobe tested or taken out relatively soon.On the continuation chart, the 2014harvest low of $3.18.25 is the next sup-port. First resistance in the May con-tract is $3.73.5 per bushel. On theweekly May chart, a key reversal lowerwas posted this week which puts abearish spin on the market. MotherNature and/or the March 31 Prospec-tive Planting and Grain Stocks reportsmay be the next hope for a decent rally.Without some help from a weatherissue somewhere, we’re looking atincreasing year-on-year stocks. Watchfor any seasonal strength if you needto make sales.

SOYBEANS — The rally in soy-beans to begin the week was erased asthe week progressed. Weather in SouthAmerica may slightly hinder harvest;but in general, no significant problemhas developed. Brazil’s soybean har-vest was estimated at 35 percent com-plete vs. 21 percent on average as ofFeb. 26 by Safras. Monday’s uptickwas inspired by outside markets andshort covering by funds. There was nofollow-through on Tuesday and techni-cal selling emerged. Export basis alsocollapsed this week.

Brazil’s Abiove cut their soybean pro-duction estimate by 1 mmt to 98.5

mmt, compared to the USDA forecastfor 100 mmt. On the other hand,AgRural in Brazil raised their esti-mate from 99.2 mmt to 101.6mmt. China imported 5.7 mmt of soy-beans during January with 4.6 mmtfrom the U.S., 621 tmt from Brazil and188 tmt from Argentina.

The USDA’s Forum outlook for soy-bean acres this year was 82.5 millionacres vs. estimates for 83.3 millionacres. Last year, we planted 82.65 mil-lion acres to soybeans. In the previousfive years, the final soybean acreagenumber has been 3 to 4 million acreshigher than the February Outlook esti-mate. Using a yield of 46.7 bu./acre theUSDA is pegging 2016-17 productionat 3.81 billion bushels. Their new2016-17 balance sheet also shows thecarryout at 440 million bushels vs. thisyear’s 450 million bushel endingstocks. The 2016-17 stocks-to-use ratiois projected at 11.4 percent comparedto the 2015-16 stocks-to-use ratio of12.2 percent. The average farm pricefor 2016-17 was forecast at $8.50 perbushel, down from this year’s mid-point estimate of $8.80 per bushel.

Weekly soybean export sales were adisappointment this week at 12.1 mil-lion bushels, the second lowest of thecurrent marketing year. Sales need toaverage 6.6 million bushels per weekfor the balance of the marketing yearto hit the USDA outlook for 1.69 bil-lion bushels. Last year we only aver-aged 4.8 million bushels per week fromthis time through the end of theyear. We continue to run 11 percentbehind last year on total export com-mitments when the USDA is project-ing an 8.3 percent decline year-on-year.

OUTLOOK: May soybeans plum-meted 17.25 cents for the week to set-tle at $8.63.5 per bushel, July dropped15.25 cents to $8.70 and Novemberdeclined 12.5 cents to $8.76 perbushel. On the continuation chart,nearby soybeans closed at their lowestlevel since December 2008. Firstresistance in the May contract is $8.90per bushel, with support at $8.53.5 perbushel. Record South American beanproduction, sluggish U.S. export salesand a stronger U.S. dollar should limitany rally potential — unless a weatherproblem crops up somewhere toinspire buyers. As in corn, watch forany seasonal rally if you need to add tosales.

Nystrom’s Notes: Contract changesfor the week ending Feb. 26: MayChicago wheat plunged 14.5 centslower, Kansas City fell 12 cents andMinneapolis wheat dropped 7.75 cents.April crude oil rallied $1.03 to close at$32.78 per barrel, ULSD was 2.5 centshigher, RBOB jumped 8.75 centshigher and natural gas declined 7.5cents. The U.S. dollar index gained 1.6percent. ❖

Nystrom: Watch for seasonal strength to sell

TEALE, from pg. 15over the past several weeks as demandfor pork products and moderate num-bers of hogs has inspired the rally.

However, as the pork cutouts movedinto the mid $70 area, resistance hasbegun to surface. As a result, thepacker has backed away from being asaggressive in acquiring live inventory.This could result in the hog marketfinding a momentary peak and pricesweakening or at best stabilizing for aperiod of time.

Overall, pork remains one of the best

values for protein vs. other sources.This will continue to be an underlyingsupport of the hog market in the nearfuture.

Producers are urged to continue tomonitor market conditions and protectinventories on an as needed basis.

From an overall livestock marketoutlook, producers are to be aware ofthe outside markets which can directlyaffect the livestock price movement.Any negative price action in the finan-cial markets can quickly change theoutlook in the livestock markets andother ag-related markets. ❖

WACHTLER, from pg. 15problems created by unsoundinvestments in their owneconomies, overspending, monetarypolicy, and politics.

Closer to home, U.S. farmers continueto increase productivity and farm moreacres. The U.S. Department of Agricul-ture reports over one-third fewer acresin the Conservation Reserve Programsince 2007. Those acres are now usedprimarily for producing corn, soybeans,and other major commodities. Cornprices have experienced more than a 50percent drop from their highs of nearlyfive years ago.

While we have faced low crop pricesin the past, experts believe this timemay be more of a long-term cyclicaldownturn and have described the com-modity outlook as “lower for longer”.As I mentioned, nearly all commoditiesare going through the down cycle. theCommodity Research Bureau index isdown almost 60 percent in the lastfive-year time frame.

Demand for commodities wasencouraged by very low interest ratesalong with quantitative easing by ourgovernment and others. The supplyresponded to the new, increaseddemand. Now, after the monetary pol-icy has come and gone, we are left withan oversupply of most commodities.Plus there is a faltering demand fromother countries which are not able towithstand this rapidly changing envi-ronment.

The amount of expense allocated toowning and renting land is the largestline item expense in typical corn, soy-bean and other farming operations.Some expenses, such as fuel and fertil-izer have already dropped in price.

However, the sav-ings will not beenough to offset

the major cost of renting land.The Federal Reserve Bank in

Chicago has recently stated farmlandselling prices have dropped by a totalof 7.5 percent since the middle of 2013.At the same time, the Kansas CityFederal Reserve Bank reports cashrents decreasing by approximately 5percent last year and they expect thetrend to continue. Please see theattached chart.

I am in the process of reviewing myprojected budget and have outlinedsome proposed changes for our agree-ment, which I have attached. It isimportant to me to have the resourcesto continue to care for your land in aresponsible manner. I want to provideyou with a strong commitment thatyou will continue to be paid in a timelymanner. In addition, I am very respect-ful of any sacrifice which you also mayendure as part of the overall economicconditions.

Finally, please do not hesitate to con-tact me with any questions or con-cerns. I value your input.Sincerely, Tenant Farms

The following marketing analysis is forthe week ending Feb. 26.

The International Dairy Foods Associa-tion praised recent legislation proposed bySenate Agriculture Chairman Pat Robertswhich would “Create a national uniformstandard on biotechnology labeling, andcalled for urgent action to take up andpass the legislation.”

An IDFA press release stated “Ver-mont’s mandatory law requiring on-pack-age labels of foods containing ingredientsthat have been genetically modifiedtakes effect in July 2016. Unless Con-gress acts swiftly to provide a uniformstandard for food labeling, food companies will befaced with hefty implementation costs, confusionacross their supply chain and chaos marketing their

products.”“The implementation costs associated

with this law and other state-based label-ing laws would inevitably be passed on toconsumers via higher prices that would hitlower income families the hardest.” IDFAcharged. “The bill proposed by ChairmanRoberts provides a common-sense, nationalfood labeling standard that brings consis-tency and transparency to the market-place.”

U.S. milk production begins 2016 justbarely above that of a year ago and

provided a little fodder for the market“bulls.” The U.S. Department of Agriculture reportedpreliminary January output in the top 23 states at16.6 billion pounds, up 0.3 percent from January 2015.The 50-state output totaled 17.7 billion pounds, also up0.3 percent. Revisions added 19 million pounds to thepreliminary December estimate, now put at 15.6 bil-lion pounds, up 0.7 percent from 2014.

January cow numbers in the 23 states totaled 8.63million head, down 11,000 head from December andonly 6,000 above a year ago. The 50-state total at 9.31million head was down 2,000 from a year ago.

Output per cow averaged 1,923 pounds, up 4 poundsfrom a year ago and the highest January output percow since the series began in 2003.

USDA reports 2015 milk output totaled 209 billionpounds, up 1.3 percent from 2014 and reflects a 139million pound revision from month ago data. Outputper cow averaged 22,393 pounds, up 134 pounds from2014. The average annual rate of production per cowhas increased 12.6 percent from 2006.

California’s January output lagged its year ago pro-duction for the 13th consecutive month, down 2.7 per-cent, due to a 50 pound drop per cow and 4,000 fewercows. Dairy Market News’ weekly update says Califor-nia milk production is increasing, but at a slower ratethan expected.

Wisconsin again made up for California’s deficit —up 4.1 percent, thanks to a 70 pound gain per cow and

5,000 more cows. It was up 4.8 percent in December.South Dakota posted the biggest gain again, up

12.2 percent on 2,000 more cows. Michigan bulk tanksare also bulging — up 5.9 percent, thanks to 10,000more cows and a 70-pound gain per cow. Idaho was up0.7 percent on 7,000 more cows although output percow was off 10 pounds. Minnesota was up 3.4 percenton a 60-pound gain per cow.

The report also showed the number of licensed U.S.dairy farms in 2015 stood at 43,584, down 1,225 farmsor a drop of 2.7 percent from 2014. Arizona showed anincrease — up 10 farms, while the others were downor unchanged.

Farm Journal’s Jim Dickrell says, “With an esti-mated 9.317 million cows on farms, that suggests theaverage U.S. dairy farm now houses about 215cows.” He adds Wisconsin dipped below 10,000 farmsto 9,900 — a loss of 390 farms; but the number ofdairy cows in the Badger State was actually up inJanuary, to 1.28 million head.

Dairy cow culling was up from December but belowa year ago, according to USDA’s latest LivestockSlaughter report. An estimated 265,500 head wereslaughtered under Federal inspection in the month,up 10,100 head from December but 19,900 head fewerthan January 2015.

There’s plenty of butter in the cooler according tothe latest Cold Storage report, which sent a chill todairy traders. Jan. 31 butter stocks were pegged at196.1 million pounds, up 41 million pounds or 26 per-cent from December 2015; and 47.2 million pounds or32 percent above January 2015.

American cheese, at 716.5 million pounds, was up15.4 million or 2 percent from December and 80.5 mil-lion or 13 percent above a year ago. The total cheeseinventory stood at 1.18 billion pounds, 32.3 million or3 percent above December and 130.1 million or 12percent above a year ago.

MIELKE, from pg. 18last week of February at $1.48 perpound, down three-quarter cents on theweek and 6.5 cents below a year ago, as traders antici-pated Tuesday’s Global Dairy Trade. The barrelsclosed at $1.43, down a nickel on the week and 6.25cents a year ago. On the week, 11 cars of block tradedhands and six of barrel.

Relatively mild winter weather is keeping the milkflowing to Midwest cheese plants, reports Dairy Mar-ket News. “Cheese production is steady. Inventoriesare building, even with good demand from food serviceand retail. Western cheese makers are also activelyproducing cheese but some are finding milk intakes tobe a little short of needs to run at full production.Domestic cheese demand is still strong, especially forretail and cheese for pizza. Inventories for cheddarvarieties are trending steady to higher on lighterdemand and a weak export market.”

Speaking of pizza demand, CNN Money reportsDomino’s Pizza’s fourth quarter sales were up 10.7percent from a year ago and Papa John’s overall same-store sales are up 3.4 percent. Where would the dairyindustry be without pizza?

Tuesday’s Cold Storage report sure cooled butter’sresiliency, dropping it 8.5 cents the following day, andThursday it fell below $2 per pound for the first timesince August 2015. It finished Friday at $1.97.75,down 7.75 cents on the week and the lowest spot pricesince July 30, 2015. But it is still 28.25 cents above ayear ago. Ten cars traded hands on the week.

Churning remains active throughout the Centralregion, says Dairy Market News. “Butter sales intoretail is active as many club stores plan butter fea-tures ahead of the spring holidays. Bulk sales aresteady, but many manufacturers report they are lessconcerned about bulk inventories building at this timeof year. A larger concern is establishing stocks to with-stand second, third, and fourth quarter demand.

“Western butter makers say there is a good amountof cream available and butter production continues tobe active. Domestic sales continue strong in advanceof the spring holidays, but some contacts note demandis slightly slower as those orders are filled. Invento-ries are building, which is typical for this time of year.However, the large increase in January led some toquestion whether end users were storing butter forfuture needs or if the market was getting filled,”reports Dairy Market News.

■

Jerry Dryer, editor of the Dairy and Food MarketAnalyst newsletter, said in Friday’s DairyLine there’sgoing to be plenty of milk, and while the growth indairy product stocks was pretty typical, the invento-ries are record or near record highs for Jan. 31. Headds that they have been high for several months andthat is persisting. But, “it’s coming home to roost,” saidDryer, “especially in butter.”

Dryer believes falling prices will help kick-startexports; but people are telling him cheese could dip tothe $1.30s and butter to $1.65-$1.70. Butter is inpretty good demand and, with California butter out-put lagging (down 9 percent in January) “butter won’t

fall totally through the floor but it’sgoing to get down,” he concluded.Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed

Friday at 76 cents per pound, up 2 cents on the weekbut 32.5 cents below a year ago, with 12 carloads find-ing new homes on the week at the Chicago MercantileExchange.

Powder inventories are adequate for current

demand, says Dairy Market News, and “sources indi-cate a slight uptick in export interest, as global pricesexert pressure.”

That point was underscored in the Feb. 25 DailyDairy Report which stated, “For the past 18 months,Chinese demand for imported milk powder has beendiminished by improved domestic production and

Speaking of the global market, Ire-land’s Agriland reports Rabobank’s

dairy global strategist says “Europe needs a betterway to establish the world market milk price than fol-lowing New Zealand’s Global Dairy Trade auction.

“I think people here in Europe have been known toquote the GDT price and taking it for the world price.It’s just one factor that says something about worlddemand, but it is not the world price,” Netherlands-based Kevin Bellamy said.

“In 2008 the world’s largest dairy exporter, Fonterra,established the fortnightly GDT auctions with the aimof providing a ‘reliable, transparent, price discoveryplatform’ for globally-traded dairy commodities. How-ever, it traded less than one-third of its productsthrough the GDT auctions last year, with the balanceof dairy products sold direct to customer sales.”

“Bellamy rejected suggestions that Fonterra manip-ulates the GDT. ‘I think that is just how their businessworks. It is supply and demand, but there are someopaque bits as well.”

A jolt of brightcolor in the formof a bloomingplant serves as atonic duringthese short win-ter days. Gardencenters and gro-cery stores havesections blazingwith brightly col-ored plants justwaiting to betaken home tolift spirits andproclaim that spring is only a fewweeks away.

Cyclamen plants have flowers inshades of purple, red, pink or white.The entire plant when in flowerreaches about 10 inches high andrequires very little care.

They are perfectly suited to a coolwindow sill environment with a north-ern exposure. In fact, they prefer coldtemperatures (a warm room is deadly)and bright, but not direct sunlight. Anhour or so of direct sun is OK, but morethan that and the risk of having theplant suffer sunburn is increased.

Keep the soil moist by immersing in apan of water for a half hour and thendrain. It is best to avoid getting wateron the crown of the plant, which couldcause it to rot. Use your finger to checkthe moisture in the growing medium.They like relatively high humidity sosetting them in a tray filled with graveland water is a good idea.

Cyclamen bloom for many weeks at atime. Feed with a low nitrogen fertil-izer during the growing and bloomingwinter months and quit feeding andwatering when the plant begins its dor-mancy period.

Dormancy is usually in the summerand the plants take a siesta. During

dormancy keep cyclamen indoors in acool dark place or outdoors in a shadyspot. Repot with fresh soil and beginwatering around September foranother burst of bloom.

The word “cyclamen” comes from theGreek word meaning “circle” whichrefers to the shape of the tuber. Cycla-men persicum is usually referred to asthe florist’s cyclamen and it is the mostcommon species grown as a house-plant.

An apt description of our floweringcyclamen is: “It appears as though aflock of large, pink butterflies havelanded atop a green oasis of sturdy, sil-ver trimmed, heart shaped leaves.” It isuplifting to see such beauty inside thehouse in wintertime.

By SARAH JOHNSONThe Land correspondent

The title of this month’s cookbook selection— “How to Boil Water: Life Beyond Takeout”— took me back to the dinosaur days of mycollege years when I was stymied by all sortsof cooking situations. Teaching myself how tofry an egg, make a meatloaf or roast a chickenwas partly exciting, partly painful, andalways a lesson in humility.

I didn’t have a nice guide to gastronomylike Food Network Kitchens’ “How to BoilWater” published by Meredith Books in 2006.But I wish I had its thousand photo-filledrecipes to help me navigate my kitchen. Itprobably would have saved me all sorts ofburnt stuff, from food to fingers. Here aresome sophisticated sample recipes from themore advanced section to whet your appetite.

■

With this single recipe, a budding chef can learn toprepare a wide array of sandwich fillings, adaptableto the ingredients she or he has on hand. Theamount of mayo listed makes a nice, light salad; usemore if you like yours extra creamy. I tried my luckwith leftover turkey meat, spicy dills and greenonion. Four out of four “yums” from the Johnsonclan, but no leftovers! Next time I’ll have to doublethe recipe.Chicken or Turkey Salad Sandwiches Serves 4

1/2 rotisserie chicken, 2 cooked boneless skinlesschicken breasts, or about 12 ounces turkey breastmeat

Something crunchy: 1 rib celery, 1 small apple, 1/2

fennel bulb, 3 to 5 radishes, or 1/2 cup sweet or dillpickle slices

Something oniony: 1/4 small red or white onion, 2scallions or 1 large shallot

1/2 cup mayonnaise Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper 8 slices breadShred the chicken meat by hand, discarding any

skin or bones, and put in a large bowl. You’ll haveabout 1 1/2 cups meat. Chop the “somethingcrunchy” (you’ll have about 1/2 cup) and add to thebowl.

Chop whatever onion you choose; add to the mix.Add the mayonnaise, salt and black pepper to tasteand stir until evenly coated. Add more salt and blackpepper, if needed. Lay 4 slices of bread on thecounter; divide the salad evenly among them. Topeach with the remaining bread.

■

Just because you’re a new cook doesn’t meanyou can’t rock the kitchen with some gourmeteats. These “lacquered” ribs have a sweet, smoky,chewy bark on top of melt-in-your-mouth porkfor a restaurant experience in your own home.Chinese Lacquered Baby Back Ribs Serves 4

2 racks baby back ribs (about 2 pounds total) 1 (3-inch) piece fresh ginger 5 cloves garlic 1 cup rice vinegar 1/4 cup soy sauce 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 teaspoon five-spice powder (optional) 1/2 cup hoisin sauce 3 to 4 teaspoons Asian chili sauce, such as

sriracha or sambal oelek 1 tablespoon water 4 scallions, for garnish 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)Remove the inside membrane from ribs. Roughly

chop the ginger to get about 1/2 cup. Smash, peel androughly chop the garlic. Whisk the ginger, garlic,vinegar, soy sauce and sesame oil in a nonreactivedish (basically, any dish not made out of aluminum).Add the ribs, turning to coat evenly. Cover andrefrigerate for one hour.

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Remove the ribs fromthe marinade, brush off the ginger and garlic, anddiscard the marinade. Pat dry and season on allsides with salt, black pepper and five-spice powder, ifusing. Place the ribs, bone side up, on a rimmed bak-ing sheet and cover the sheet tightly with foil. Bake

The longer I live, the more I respect and adorebeans of all sizes, shapes and colors. I never saw ablack bean or a computer until I was in my teens, butI can’t imagine life without either of them now. Thelittle beauties shine in tacos, burritos, soups, saladsand all by themselves, like in the recipe below whichalso features a fabulous fresh topping.Baked Mexican Black Beans Serves 4 to 6

1 pound dried black beans 6 slices bacon 1 large onion 5 cloves garlic 2 teaspoons ground cumin 1 bay leaf 6 cups water, chicken broth, or a combination 1 jalapeno 2 teaspoons kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper 14-ounce can diced tomatoes 1 tablespoon cider vinegarTopping:1 red or yellow bell pepper 5 scallions 1 cup sour cream 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt Freshly ground black pepperPreheat the oven to 350 F. Rinse the beans in a

colander. Cut the bacon crosswise into thin strips.Cook in a medium Dutch oven (or a soup pot with atight-fitting lid that can go in the oven) over mediumheat until almost crisp, about 10 minutes. Roughlychop the onion. Smash, peel and chop the garlic. Stirthe onion, garlic, cumin and bay leaf into the bacon.Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender,about eight minutes.

Add the beans, water, whole jalapeno, salt andsome black pepper. Stir with a wooden spoon toscrape up any brown bits in the pan. Bring to a boil,cover, and bake for one hour. Uncover, add the toma-toes and their juices, and bake until the beans aretender and soupy, about 45 minutes to one hour. Stirin vinegar.

While the beans bake, make the topping: Cut thesides off the bell pepper, chop into small pieces, andput in a medium bowl. Trim the scallions, thinly slicethe white and green parts, and add to the bowl. Stirin the sour cream and season with 1/2 teaspoon saltand some black pepper.

Upgrade: Add 1 cup roughly chopped freshcilantro, either to the cooked beans when you stir inthe vinegar, or scattered over the fresh topping.

As a kid my favorite placein our farmhouse was thebay window in the livingroom. The seat was coveredin gold shag carpet thatmatched the floor. It was aplace to pose for Christmaspictures, provided extraseating when the house wasfull of company, and ithoused a few of Mom’shanging plants as well. Butfor me, its ultimate purposewas to serve as a book nook.

For as long as I can remember, bookshave been special treasures to me. Dur-ing our elementary school summervacations my younger brother and sis-ters would beg me to go outside andexplore groves and ditches with them.I’d stubbornly refuse, planting myself inthe bay window to read. Hence earningthe nickname “Houseplant” from mybrother.

The bay window is no more. It waseventually replaced in one of my par-ents’ remodeling projects. And whenMike and I took on a remodeling proj-

ect of our own, what mat-tered most to me was creat-ing a book nook. I wantedour grandkids to experiencewhat had powerfullyshaped my story.

As I showed the cabinet-maker a picture I hadpinned, I could tell he was-n’t seeing the necessity. “Areyou sure you need morebookshelves?” he politelyasked. A fair question sincehe built a wall of them in an

adjoining room a few years back. I nod-ded and cast the vision to countlesshours I would spend in this space read-ing to the grandkids.

He smiled and half-joked, “How areyou going to keep them in there withyou? Should I build doors to lock themin?”

When the nook was complete, thebooks in place, and the seat coveredwith cushions and pillows, I had Lan-don, age 5, sit on my right and Jackson,age 3, to my left and said with all seri-ousness, “Guys, do you see what I see?”

And I dramatically drew their atten-tion to the children’s books on theshelves that sandwiched us. Then Icontinued, “This is the coolest place inthe whole world to read.”

And wonder of wonders, they believedme. Not that they won’t outgrow it, butfor this precious sliver and slice of theirstories, they think there’s nothing bet-ter to do with Nana then plant them-selves in this spot to read.

When our front door opens, that’swhere they run. And when their dadsaid, “I bet you would’ve paid threetimes that amount for the nook if youknew it would actually work,” he wasright. Not that Mike would’ve agreed tothat plan.

Here’s the thing. We all have a thingthat has shaped us and made us whowe are. For me it’s books — primarilyones that cultivate my faith andincrease my love for God and people.

For you it may be farming, travel, cook-ing, quilting, sports, or some other pas-sion. And that thing that has shapedyou is the thing you get to enthusiasti-cally share with the next generation.

My cabinetmaker may not be a bookperson, but he still gets what it meansto pass on his passion to the next gen-eration. How do I know? Because thenook he designed for us was installedby his two sons.

As people age, it’s said they revertback to their childhood. Better still torecognize what was good and rightabout our childhood, and pay it forwardto the children entrusted into our care.

THE BACK PORCH

By Lenae Bulthuis

WASHINGTON, D.C. — AgricultureDeputy Secretary Krysta Hardenannounces the U.S. Department ofAgriculture will begin offering farmownership microloans, creating a newfinancing avenue for farmers to buyand improve property. Thesemicroloans will be especially helpful tobeginning or underserved farmers, U.S.veterans looking for a career in farm-ing, and those who have small andmid-sized farming operations.

“Many producers, especially new andunderserved farmers, tell us thataccess to land is one of the biggest chal-lenges they face in establishing andgrowing their own farming operation,“said Harden. “USDA is making it eas-ier for new farmers to hit the groundrunning and get access to the land thatthey need to establish their farms orimprove their property.“

The microloan program is in its third

year and has provided more than16,800 low-interest loans, totaling over$373 million to producers across thecountry.

Now, microloans will be available toalso help with farmland and buildingpurchases, and soil and water conser-vation improvements. The Farm Ser-vice Agency designed the expandedprogram to simplify the applicationprocess, expand eligibility require-ments and expedite smaller real estateloans.

Microloans provide up to $50,000 toqualified producers, and can be issuedto the applicant directly from the FSA.

To learn more about the FSAmicroloan program,visit www.fsa.usda.gov/microloans, orcontact your local FSA office.

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

Street hockey

Do you have a Back Roads story suggestion? E-mail editor@TheLandOnline.com or write to Editor, The Land, P.O. Box 3169, Mankato, MN 56002.

It’s Cold. It’s snowing. It’s a beautiful day in Eveleth, Minn., home of theHockey Museum Hall of Fame and the world’s largest free-standing, built-to-scale, authentic hockey stick.

We grew up playing baseball on the streets. So we’re going to believe the storythat this town raised spunky and tough kids with big hearts who learned toplay hockey on the streets and ended up with their stories and portraits in theHall of Fame and on the sports pages of newspapers around the world.

The Big Stick which commemorates and celebrates these remarkable players,championship teams, and the spirit of this iron mining town is very big. Itweighs 10,000 pounds and is 110 feet long. The Big Stick is forever poised toslap a 5-foot diameter, 20-inch high puck across Monroe Street into a net.

But this being Eveleth, that puck is not going to sail unopposed into the net.There is a 30 foot high by 80 foot wide goalie painted on the wall of the buildingacross the street. He looks capable of stopping even 700 pound pucks. For goodmeasure, a giant defensive player stands ready to assist.

The Big Stick has been in place at Hockey Plaza, at the intersection of Grant

and Monroe, since September of 1995. It was replaced in 2001 with a stronger,slightly more gargantuan stick.

In 2014, another mural was installed behind the stick. It’s called the MiracleMural and it is made up of paintings, photographs and text which tell the storyof Eveleth’s hockey history. There are mural sections for those Eveleth kids whowent on to national fame such as John E. Connie Pleban, Mike Karakas, FrankBrimsek, John Mariucci and Willard Ikola. There is a section for those heroeswho stayed close to home to show the kids how to be the best. Coaches SergioGambucci and Cliff Thompson are examples.

Visiting the Big Stick and Hockey Plaza in downtown Eveleth in the summeris a pleasant thing to do. Then the Plaza is easily accessible and is an agreeableplace to sit. In the winter there is no place to sit and it’s hard to get close to theMiracle Mural.

But, if you listen closely as the snowflakes fall and the cold bites your nose,you may hear the sound of skates swooshing and kids voices as they play outtheir dreams on Eveleth’s back streets. ❖
