Aronia berries are an expandingcrop across the Midwest, thanksto the numerous health benefitsits growers swear uponStory on Page 8

I survived a full year as an ag reporterand editor. I began my job last Septemberand have come full circle from harvest2014 to harvest 2015. It’s been quite a year.

I have had the opportunity to covermany state and national issues — Watersof the United States, Minnesota’s bufferlaw, decline of the bee population, renew-able energy, solar power, biodiesel, Buythe Farm statute, an aging rural popula-tion, low commodity prices and avianinfluenza. Through it all, I had the privi-lege to speak with the people at the heartof the issues.

I met many corn and soybean farmersfacing the task of lowering their inputsand marketing their grain in a tough market. I talkedto farmers who are charged with installing buffers ontheir farmland. I made calls to Minnesota turkeygrowers who were on the front line of avian flu.

Farmers who installed wind turbines and solararrays offered tips to our readers who may be consid-ering doing the same. When a Morgan, Minn., farmerwon a case against the power company, he shared hisstory with us.

In the course of the year, I met a beekeeper, rode ina hopper truck and tread as lightly as possible in myhusband’s rubber boots through a muddy soybeanfield for a photo. I talked to manure handlers, hopsgrowers, FFA officers past and present, dairy farm-ers, climatologists, a barley grower, a migrant family,sheep breeders, state legislators and Minnesota andIowa Extension scientists and educators.

Reading and preparing Kent Thiesse’s columns forpublication, I got a crash course in the new farm pro-gram. What started as alphabet soup slowly began tomake sense. Still I didn’t envy farmers the task ofattending farm bill seminars and making the bestchoice for their families.

All of the people I met in agriculturethis year had one thing in common. Theywere passionate about what they do.Farmers are proud of their way of life and

determined to pass their farms and tra-ditions down to the next generation.The Extension scientists and educators

were committed to research and sharing the infor-mation with growers in order to make farming moreproductive while protecting natural resources.

Yes, I did make a few mistakes along the way. Theproblem in media is that our mistakes our public. Istill have much to learn about ag.

I also missed a very big story — Prince Farming.Prince Farming is Chris Soules, the Iowa farm boyfrom Arlington who became a reality star on ABC’s“The Bachelor.” He went on to compete in “DancingWith the Stars.” I was e-mailing his people trying toget an interview, but my timing was bad as Souleswas tied up in rehearsals and taping DWTS. Sincethen, he and bride-elect Whitney Bischoff endedtheir engagement.

Yet there is hope for the one that got away. Accord-ing to the official website of Chris Soules, he is com-mitted to being an ambassador for farming and shar-ing the American farmer’s story. I have contactedhim for an interview. The man would make a greatcover.

LAND MINDS

By Marie Wood

Farmers are proud of theirway of life and deter-mined to pass their farmsand traditions down tothe next generation.

To the Editor:I am glad to know that State Senator

Dan Sparks wants to see the MinnesotaPollution Control Agency Citizens’ Board restoredbut his voting record doesn’t indicate that he didanything to try and keep it from being abolished.

1. In Conference Committee on the Agriculturaland Environmental Bill which he was on, Sen. Martymade a motion to take out the provision eliminatingthe Citizens’ Board. Sen. Hoffman voted for it. Onemore Senate vote was needed but Sen. Sparks didnot vote for it. If he had, that provision would havecome out in Conference Committee during the regu-lar session.

2. Sen. Sparks then voted for the bill on the floorduring the regular session with this bad provisionincluded.

3. During the Special Session, the bill included theprovision to eliminate the Citizens’ Board. Sen.Sparks voted for the bill even though 29 of his DFLcolleagues didn’t. Even with his vote the bill stillfailed to pass.

4. The Senate then took out the provision eliminat-ing the Citizens’ Board and sent the bill to theHouse. The House reinserted that language and sentthe bill back to the Senate. We needed the Senate tovote not to concur and send the bill to conferencecommittee. However, Sen. Sparks voted to concur

leading to the bill passing with this badprovision included.As a committee chair and conference

committee member, Sen. Sparks had a chance tokeep this from passing. His voting record indicates

that he fully supported this provision. I hope thatSen. Sparks plays an active role in seeing theMPCA Citizens’ Board restored.Brad TromBlooming Prairie, Minn.

Letter: Bring back Pollution Control Citizens’ Board

To the Editor:I agree with all but one paragraph of The Land

Managing Editor Tom Royer’s “A matter of core val-ues” opinion column (“Land Minds,” Sept. 18 issue).

I do not think Kim Davis is a “courageous woman”for refusing to carry out her elected official duties.The courageous thing for her to do would be to resignher position in defense of her religion. Royer says shetook an oath on a Bible. Her oath is to “support theConstitution of the United States” and Kentucky andto “faithfully discharge the duties” of the Office ofClerk.

If she won’t fulfill her duties, she needs to resign.It’s hypocritical if her oath on the Bible means noth-ing.Nancy BarsnessCyrus, Minn.

A lashing, late afternoon thunderstormroared through Chicago on Friday, Sept.18 to power wash Northerly Island, atongue of land jutting into Lake Michiganjust east of the city’s Loop and site of the2015 Farm Aid concert. By noon Saturday,however, a bright sun danced with puffyclouds and the Windy City’s sweeping sky-line provided a spectacular backdrop forFarm Aid’s 10-hour, 15-act concert.

The founding Farm Aid trio, for the30th year in a row, was there: Willie Nel-son in his trademark braids, John Mel-lencamp endlessly punishing his chew-ing gum, and Neil Young, still afirewith 1969 indignation. Also presentwas Dave Matthews, a relative new-comer who joined Farm Aid in 2001, serene in hisquiet coolness.

Also there were 14 food vendors serving up“Detoxifying Spinach Salad” and “BBQ Bacon Burg-ers” and everything in between — ice cream sand-wiches, bratwurst, oatmeal cookies, baby back ribs,pizza, tacos, black bean burgers. Unlike most fairs,however, this fare was mostly organic, artisanaland/or pasture-raised.

And just like the music, it was devoured by thealmost 27,000 Farm Aid fans faster than an army offarmers and volunteers could prepare it. Indeed,there’s no music festival better known for its foodthan Farm Aid and no food festival more renown forits music than Farm Aid.

Its roots, of course, lie in more desperate times,the farm crisis of the early 1980s, when low com-modity prices, inflexible farm policy, and recordinterest rates combined to clip farmers large andsmall alike. On Sept. 22., 1985, more than 50 enter-tainers — from B.B. King to Debra Winger — gath-ered at the University of Illinois’ Memorial Stadiumin Champaign for a concert to spotlight the crisisand raise money to “benefit family farmers.”

Those times are long gone. In 1985, according toU.S. Department of Agriculture data, total farmequity stood at $605 billion, down from $816 billionin 1981. This year’s estimated total farm equity,while $120 billion less than a year ago, stands fourtimes greater than 30 years ago — $2.5 trillion.

Another change across three decades of Farm Aidis the near total absence of national farm and com-modity groups at recent concerts. There was a timewhen every farmer was in the same boat. Now, how-

ever, the boats are very different andwhile farm groups like the American

Farm Bureau Federation are invitedeach year, few choose to attend.

That growing disconnect highlightsone of American agriculture’s bigger failures of thelast generation: As farms have grown in size, wealth,and political power, they’ve become less trusted bytheir customers, American eaters.

Indeed, more and more U.S. farm groups spendmore and more millions of dollars each year to tapthe inherent trust most Americans have for “farm-ers” and “ranchers.”

And, yet, some of the biggest connections betweenfarmers and consumers today are, ironically, issuesthey strongly disagree on — genetically modifiedseeds, the industrialization of meat and poultry pro-duction, groundwater safety, growing taxpayer subsi-

dies for federal crop insurance programs, and thelike.

It’s a gap highlighted by the growing politicalpower on one side, Big Agbiz, and growing purchas-ing power on the other side, the explosive rise oforganic and “natural” food sales over the last 15years.

Indeed, this gap is clearly seen in two recent news-making events, Farm Aid’s 30th concert on Chicago’slakefront and a New York Times front page story thatdetailed how the “Food Industry Enlisted Academicsin G.M.O. Lobbying War” to influence U.S. farm andfood policy over the actions of consumers, voters, andCongress.

In one, Farm Aid, the music, food, and camaraderiewas spectacular. The other, the Times story and itsextensive documentation on how Big Ag used verywilling Land Grant professionals to promote com-mercial products widely distrusted by the public, wasequally spectacular.

One is heartwarming and people-centered; theother is chilling and profit-centered. Taken togetherthey showcase the widening gap between food andfarming and how many in American agricultureappear more ready to expand it than bridge it.

OPINION

By MARIE WOODThe Land Associate Editor

Bumper crops of corn and soy-bean are putting both Minnesotaand Iowa at record-breaking levelsfor production and yields, accordingto the Sept. 11 Crop Productionreport from the U.S. Department ofAgriculture National AgriculturalStatistics Service.

Iowa and Minnesota agronomists agreed that astretch of warm weather starting the week of Sept.14 should finish off the crops nicely, both in reachingmaturity and corn dry down. Some corn had alreadyreached maturity by that time.

Paul Kassel is a field agronomist for Iowa StateUniversity Extension and Outreach. His region isnorth central Iowa and covers Dickinson, Emmet,Kossuth, Winnebago, Clay, Palo Alto, Hancock,Buena Vista, Pocahontas and Sac counties.

“For the most part, the crop has not suffered at allthis summer. Every acre will be productive and wehave good yield potential because we were timelyand stress-free all summer,” Kassel said.

In addition, an early frost is not expected. Lastyear, the growing season ended with the frost onSept. 14, reported the University of MinnesotaSouthern Research and Outreach Center in Waseca.

In fact, the weekly weather report from Sept. 10-16from the SROC noted that dry, warm and breezy con-ditions aided crop drying. In trials, corn of 85- to 89-day maturity that was mature dropped eight pointsin moisture down to 21 to 25 percent. Soybean fieldswere nearing harvest. By Sept. 23, a few earlymaturing soybean fields were harvested at SROC.

By Sept. 28, soybean harvest was well underway infields south of Mankato, Minn.Corn

Minnesota corn production is forecast at 1.42 bil-lion bushels, which would be the highest on recordand three percent above the previous high of 2012. Ifrealized the yield will also be the highest on recordat 183 bushels per acre.

Jeffrey Coulter, University of Minnesota Extensionagronomist, specializes in corn production and prof-itability.

“The biggest thing coming out of the yield report isthat it’s one of the best years of all time in Min-nesota,” said Coulter.

Mother Nature played a starring role.“We’ve had fairly good soil moisture levels with

regards to timely precipitation,” said Coulter. “Thetemps have been on the cooler side which has limitedmoisture use by the crop and limited stress on dryareas.”

He added that nitrogen supply and use was good aswere conditions during pollination. Field conditionsare favorable for a timely harvest.

“It looks like there will be plenty of time to get thework done,” said Coulter.

Iowa corn production is forecast at 2.41 billionbushels, which if realized will tie 2004 and 2009 as

the highest on record.In north central Iowa, reports

of silage yield so far have beengood said Kassel of ISU Exten-sion.

Planting was timely, no bigrains caused drown-outs andcrop development was good, saidKassel.

“The next thing to worry about is field dry down forthe corn crop. Since we are maturing a little early,that will help that too,” he said.Soybeans

Minnesota soybean production is forecast at 358million bushels, which if realized would surpass theprevious high from 2010. The yield forecast is 47bushels per acre to surpass the 2005 high of 45.5bu./acre.

Seth Naeve, University of Minnesota Extensionsoybean agronomist, has been predicting a recordyield all season. A month ago, Naeve said he thoughtMinnesota would see 50 bu./acre.

“Toward the end here, things are looking a little bitragged,” said Naeve. “I have come back off 50bushels. I think something a little more realistic ismuch better for us.”

He thinks the USDA forecast of 47 bu./acre is agood number, but as an optimist he thinks we couldsee 47.5 or 48 bushels.

Naeve noted that aphids and white mold hurt ourbest yielding fields while some of our tougher ground

got hurt by iron chlorosis and soybean cyst nema-tode. Moving north, soybeans got dinged bydroughts in August.

“Usually we manage aphids really well,” saidNaeve. “This year they kind of hung on and we hadlate season infestation after farms quit scoutingand those will hurt.”

Iowa soybean production is forecast at 526 millionbushels. If realized, this would surpass the record525 million bushels of 2005. The forecast yield is 53bu./acre to surpass the 2005 soybean yield record by0.5 bushel.

Kassel noted that beans were nearing maturity.USDA crop production numbers are based on con-

ditions as of Sept. 1. Agronomists were interviewedSept. 14-15. ❖

Minnesota Farmers Union VicePresident Gary Wertish has singledout transportation as a major con-cern for his organization.

“It’s a state and a federal issue,”said Wertish, who noted that whileCongress in July voted a fewmonths’ extension on the FederalTransportation Bill, “That’s mostly just kicking thecan down the road without anything being done.”

He said people tell him that potholes in streets andhighways are worse than usual this season.

“It appears we are funding our transportation sys-tem with an outdated model,” he said.

More funding seems the only logical kickstart toupgrading our transportation structure.

“The problem anymore is the continuous gridlockin Congress,” said Wertish. “It seems we can’t sitdown and put everything on the table and see whatworks. Partisan bickering seems to put the stranglehold on this Congress.”

He acknowledged the gas tax funding for trans-portation is a user tax.

“But the reality is we continue to fund our trans-portation road tax system with taxes dating back towhen gasoline was $1 a gallon; diesel was perhaps$1.50,” he said. “That arithmetic just doesn’t workanymore.”

His point being that if Congress is not willing toraise the gas tax, which has been at 18.4 cents forseveral years, then we simply have to figure outanother way.

“We support a modest increase in gas taxesbecause it’s fair and there really is no other way tosolve this growing national dilemma,” Wertish said.“Minnesota has a formula for distribution of gas taxrevenues which gives a fair share to rural areasdespite the lesser populations.”

Wertish again criticizes the lack of action in Wash-ington, D.C.

“They really haven’t done anything since PresidentEisenhower signed the bill that launched our Fed-eral Interstate System,” he said.Property taxes

At the state level he said a rewriting of the prop-erty tax rules for rural Minnesota is a high priority.

“Right now landowners carry an unfair burden ofthe costs of education. We’re struggling to keep smallbusinesses going in outstate areas,” he said. “Landhas value so it seems that is the quick and easysource of additional tax revenue for local school dis-tricts. The state needs to pick up its share so thatlandowners are not overly burdened.”Water quality

Water quality issues continue to be a major topicfor all. Wertish dismisses the question if there everwill be common sense across the board so that fair-

ness is transparent to any and all.“We did come together on the buffer bill thanks to

lots of collaboration amongst many farm and conserva-tion groups. Establishing accurate mapping for thesehundreds of miles of drainage ditches and meanderingstreams will be an ongoing hassle,” he said.

“The 16-and-a-half foot strip for drainage ditcheshas been in the books for some years. Most farmersare aware of it. But enforcement has become such achallenge and with all the redeterminations under-way, it likely will take considerable time before this iscompleted. But we’ve speeded the process. Time willtell if solutions and improvements are forthcoming.

“Complaints will continue regardless the wordingof the law. Unfortunately courts will be the finaldeterminer on some of these water issues.”

Wertish is very complimentary about the landstewardship work being done by most farmers, whichcan be seen in their farming practices.

“We’ve changed how we till our soils, when and howwe apply fertilizer and pesticides, even harvestingpatterns to minimize soil packing,” he said. “Withlivestock farmers, there’s more strategy about whenand where to apply manure.”

He notes one thing happening that presents newchallenges — more big weather events with excep-tional rainfall and longer periods of intense windleading to more soil erosion.

“It’s pretty hard to stop erosion when you get a six-inch downpour. Natural sloughing of stream banksalways keeps happening,” he said. “These suddenand intense thunder storms simply accelerate thataction.”Harvest

Wertish said he is encouraged by the mostly posi-tive comments by farmers about the 2015 season.

Wertish acknowledged net farm income will bedown for all. But probably less for the grains farmersthan originally projected with corn prices somewhatstrengthening, even in the face of record yields.

“The good yield prospects have somewhat takenthe edge off the low price pain many were visualiz-ing. A farmer this morning told me he thinks he’llhave whole-farm yields of 200-plus bushels per acreon his corn crop yet he’ll still be losing money,” hesaid. “So it varies from farmer to farmer.”

Wertish farms in Renville County. Like most farm-ers he admits his combine monitor tweaks the 250-bushel yield occasionally and this year that shouldhappen more often.

Gary Wertish was interviewed at the MinnesotaState Fair. ❖

SIOUX CENTER, Iowa — Fall is a busy time onthe farm. Farmers are cutting corn for silage, com-bines can be seen harvesting in soybean fields, andapples are ripe at local orchards.

At Dave Vander Werf ’s farm west of Sioux Center,he was keeping one eye on the dark clouds in thesky and another eye on the work the mechanicalharvester was doing on the ripe Aronia berries.

Rain would shut down harvest on his 20,000plants that were at the perfect Brix level for har-vest. The plants that had been planted in 2012 wereproducing a bumper crop of superb quality berries.

It is a relatively new crop to the Midwest, but onethat is gaining in popularity. It wasn’t that manyyears ago that the berry was unknown to VanderWerf.

“Be careful what you pray for,” advised VanderWerf. “We were looking for another business invest-ment after selling a different business. I had ideasof just being a silent partner.”

Those ideas all changed when Vander Werf met aman who had just planted Aronia berries. The morethey visited the more interesting it sounded. Never afarm boy, the idea of farming appealed to VanderWerf. He researched for two years, asking many ques-tions of those with experience in growing Aronias.

He learned Aronia berries are native to the

ARONIA, from pg. 8United States. Lewis and Clark mentioned them intheir writings, referring to them as black chokeber-ries. Aronias are a dark purple almost black berrythat grows on bushes and are packed full of antioxi-dants. It is a big industry in Europe, especiallyPoland.

“My wife and I never really thought it could hap-pen,” said Vander Werf. “Land in Sioux County is justtoo expensive. Then this piece came up for sale. It ispoor, lighter soil, that is not so good for corn or soy-beans. But perfect for Aronias.”

The land on the very west edge of Sioux County, isbordered by the Rock River on the north side whereit soon flows into the Big Sioux River. A very busyhighway is its south and west border. It is on thisland that the Vander Werfs have built their homeand planted 20 acres to the Aronia berry.

Their farm is strategically situated for the family’soff-farm employment. Vander Werf has a full-time job

at Dordt College in Sioux Center. His wife, Becky,teaches at Sioux Center Christian School. Theirdaughter Sarah is enrolled in Sioux Center Commu-nity Schools. Older children Abby and Jonathanattend Hull Western Christian High School innearby Hull.

Aronias added a new and different dimension totheir lives.

“This is definitely a family project,” he said. “Wecouldn’t do it without each of us working on it. Thereis weeding, mowing and harvesting. Soon the plantswill need pruning to manage height. We all enjoybeing outside working together.”Market

Vander Werf chose the Galicjanka variety becauseof its reputation for ripening more evenly. Thebushes withstand the cold temperatures, growingwell in zones 3-8, they grow six to eight feet tall,spreading five to eight feet.

ARONIA, from pg. 9While they are considered a low-

maintenance plant, Vander Werf ismeticulous about controlling weedsand irrigating regularly with theunderground dripline irrigation sys-tem that is fed from the farm’s well.

The berries are harvested with a har-vester designed for blueberry, rasp-berry, currant and Aronia berries. Fornow Vander Werf hires the machineand operator and four other people tohelp at harvest time. He plans to pur-chase his own harvester someday. Aswith other crops, weather does makes adifference, he said. If it is too humidand wet, the plants do not release theberries from the plant during harvest.Typically harvesting begins around 10a.m. and a good day goes until dusk.

He sells his berries to the NorthAmerican Aronia Cooperative, of whichhe is a member. NAAC is a 70-memberco-op begun in 2014. Members are fromIowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska,South Dakota, Wisconsin and Quebec,Canada.

The two, possibly three, refrigeratedtrucks filled with his berries will go toMarshalltown, Iowa, where they arerun through a cleaner to separate moredebris from the fruit.

The berries are sold by the NAAC.Last year the berries went to anutraceutical company where the juicewas extracted. The resulting pumicewas ground and used in pills as a vita-min supplement.

“There is evidence that supports thecancer prevention properties of theAronia berry,” said Vander Werf. “Peo-ple tell me how it has helped controltheir arthritic pain, and it has probi-otics needed for a healthy digestivesystem.”

From his own experience, VanderWerf is sure that it boosts immune sys-tems. He has a smoothie every daymade with fresh or frozen Aroniaberries, yogurt and orange juice. TheAronia berry can be stored in therefrigerator for a long time beforespoiling.

“There are a million bushes in theground in the Midwest area,” said Van-der Werf. “Aronia has a future; it is aviable industry. There is continuedgrowth, with new growers entering andexpansion by current growers.”

To learn more about Aronia berries,you may see Dave Vander Werf as one ofthe planned speakers for the Global AgSummit to be held at Dordt College inSioux Center, March 3 and 4, 2016. Visithttp://agrisummit.org for details. ❖

With 20 years in the winemaking business, Wine-haven Winery in Chisago City, Minn., is one of thepioneers in the Minnesota wine industry which con-tinues its yearly growth.

Kyle Peterson, whose family owns and operatesWinehaven Winery, shared some history.

“This September starts our 20th season. My family,prior to my time, had been raising honey and fruitssince the 1960s. My granddad was farming and wasdoing some wines mostly as a hobby because we hadthe natural resources and access to the prime ingre-dients,” he said. “People enjoyed our wines. We wouldgive it away as gifts to our friends and family for theholidays. But it seemed wise to do wine as a businessto create a value-added product for things wealready use.”

When Winehaven Winery opened in 1995 all it hadto offer was wine made from their own honey. Thesecond year they added raspberry wine. In 1997,Winehaven had its first grape harvest and addi-tional wines.

“We’ve always tried to be very local in our wineofferings. Essentially everything grown right here onour own farm,” said Peterson.

“The reason we’ve maintained our fruit and honeywines was in case we had a bad winter and lost ourgrape vines we would still have something to sell,”he added.

As the business has grown, the Petersons have hadto purchase some “outside” ingredients so theirwines are now about 85 percent Minnesota grown.Two California wines are now part of the wine list-ing of Winehaven Winery.

Using Minnesota-developed winter hardy varietiesgives this winery and its customers a “tasting oppor-tunity” to compare a Minnesota-grown Marquette,developed by the University of Minnesota, with aCalifornia Merlot. He describes this as giving a base-line of comparison for their customers.

Peterson isn’t suggesting that his customers havetaste buds that can distinguish flavor differencesbetween the two sources of wine.

“We tell our staff that it’s not about a hard sell ofour Minnesota wines but rather it’s about givingpeople an experience with Minnesota wines,” Peter-son said. “Their taste buds are going to tell themtheir preferences.”

Like a proud parent, Peterson commented, “You’dbe surprised how our local varieties are really hold-ing their own against the West Coast varieties.”

Peterson is matter-of-fact about Minnesota grapegrowers and winemakers competing in this nationalmarket against the biggies — California, New Yorkand Michigan.

“I do think our Minnesota wine business is in itsinfancy. My wife’s family is from Germany, where shewas born. I’ve gotten to know some of these Germanwinemakers over the years on our visits to Germany.Those vineyards started in the 1600s and 1700s,” hesaid. “I brought one of our bottles of wine as gift toGerman winemaker. He asked me when my winery

started. I told him 1995. He said, ‘1995,’ with aquizzical look on his face. He told me that his great-great-grandfather always used to say the first 100years in the business are the most difficult; afterthat it gets much easier.”

In 2014, Winehaven Winery sold about 60,000 bot-tles from its fourth generation family farm. KylePeterson was interviewed at the Minnesota StateFair. Visit www.winehaven.com for more informa-tion. ❖

By MARIE WOODThe Land Associate Editor

Experts don’t know if highlypathogenic avian influenza will beback this fall, but the MinnesotaBoard of Animal Health and Min-nesota poultry farmers are pre-pared should the deadly virusreturn.

Bill Hartmann, BAH executive director and stateveterinarian, has set a goal of 24 to 48 hours todepopulate barns once the virus is detected. In thespring, some barns were not depopulated for four tofive days.

“The main thing is making sure we depopulatethe flocks in 24 to 48 hours. That’s so crucial in stop-ping the production of this virus,” said Hartmann.“If the virus is allowed to spread within the barnthen there becomes more virus in the environment.The air can be exhausted from the barn through thefans and outside.”

Steve Olson, executive director of the MinnesotaTurkey Growers Association, agreed that the No. 1lesson was to respond more quickly when this virusgets into a flock, but that no one was at fault for theresponse time.

“People worked well together. We had so manyflocks breaking at the same time that it was toughto keep up with the depopulation process,” saidOlson.

MTGA is working with the state to ensure thatemergency equipment and trained personnel are onhand.

The late winter and spring avian influenza out-

break claimed over 9 million birdsacross 108 farms and 23 counties inMinnesota. Kandiyohi Countyreported 40 virus sites.

Another big change will be theappointment of permanent casemanagers from the state to infectedfarms. During the spring outbreak,U.S. Department of Agriculture

case managers were deployed for three-week details.“Some people experienced as many as eight to 10

case managers during the time their farm was quar-antined,” said Hartmann. “That didn’t work verywell.”

The 2015 Minnesota Legislature appropriated$11.8 million to avian flu response and recovery andan additional $10 million for low-interest disasterloans. Long range, $18 million has been approved fora veterinary isolation lab in St. Paul and $8.5 millionfor the poultry testing lab in Willmar through the2015 bonding bill.

Hartmann has hired additional staff at the St.Paul lab to handle avian flu testing. The poultry-testing lab in Willmar will be expanded and isexpected to be completed by summer 2016.

The USDA issued its Fall 2015 HPAI Preparednessand Response Plan which states that the USDA Ani-mal and Plant Health Inspection Service is preparedto depopulate all affected flocks within 24 hours ofpreliminary diagnosis.

To that end, APHIS has increased its ability todeploy personnel to an outbreak, inventoried equip-ment and supplies and enhanced lab preparedness.

In addition, Hartmann reported that the USDA isworking on streamlining detection, appraisal andthe cleaning and disinfecting processes.

Applying for indemnity for depopulated birds andreimbursement for the costs of cleaning and disin-fecting from the USDA requires a lot of paperwork.Having a permanent case manager also will help.

“The farmer can go to that person and develop arelationship and get consistent answers,” said Olson.

While an HPAI vaccine has tested to be effective onchickens, there are countries that won’t accept theproduct, explained Hartmann. He said that if thevaccine is used, it would likely be in a strategic man-ner such as within a control area around an affectedsite. Use must be approved by the USDA and state.

“There’s a reluctance to use it, but if it’s necessaryto prevent outbreak it would be considered,” saidHartmann.Recovery

Restocking of barns is nearly complete. At least 87farms have been restocked or have a restockingagreement in place as of Sept. 21. The mood ofturkey growers is a combination of optimism andapprehension.

“Optimism comes from getting back into the busi-ness of raising birds or eggs,” said Olson. “There’sapprehension because there’s a lot to learn aboutthis virus, what it’s going to be like this fall.”

Biosecurity reviews are being conducted by veteri-

narians once barns are restocked.“The whole intent is to provide education to grow-

ers on the virus itself and have a discussion on biose-curity,” said Olson. “The information we learn will beavailable to everybody.”

Many growers have tightened bio-security thissummer. They are proofing buildings against wildbirds and rodents and installing breezeways and cor-ridors to reduce outside contact.

Several are installing Danish Entry Systems,which is an entryway where workers take off bootsand coveralls and replace with an indoor set of cover-alls and boots, explained Olson.

Some growers are dedicating equipment to eachbuilding if possible or implementing systems toclean equipment. Others have limited the number oftimes people and equipment go into a barn.

“If we can keep the virus out of the barns, we willwin,” said Hartmann.

One grower testified to the Minnesota Legislaturethat he is investing in automatic nests which havebedding built into it, thus reducing the need to bringin bedding, said Olson.Economic impact

The economic impact of avian flu in lost turkey andegg production and processing has cost Minnesota’seconomy an estimated $647.2 million. This includes$171.7 million of lost wages, salaries and benefits.Avian flu has also affected 2,500 jobs in some way.

The figures include losses of current birds andaccount for the downtime before restocking, as wellas the time it takes to bring layers up to full produc-tion of eggs.

These numbers were crunched by Brigid Tuck,University of Minnesota Extension senior economicimpact analyst, who produced a report on the eco-nomic impact of the avian flu crisis in May and anupdate in July.

“The takeaway is how devastating it was for ourproducers and just how quickly we can have severedisruptions in our economy,” she said.

Wholesale trade, trucking and grain farming areamong the top 10 industries affected by avian flu. Inthe coming weeks, Tuck will be talking to economicdevelopers to see how the recovery is going.

As for Thanksgiving, many turkeys were frozenand put into cold storage in January and some grow-ers will have additional flocks ready for the holiday.

“There should be plenty of turkeys available forThanksgiving,” said Olson.

Prices should be low as turkeys are a loss leaderfor grocery stores and Olson expects the same trendthis year. ❖

DOON, Iowa — Mark and NancyKooima like to grow pumpkins, andpeople like to come out to the farm,relax in the sunshine and fresh air, andenjoy fall weather — when it’s actuallyenjoyable. That’s how the Kooimasbegan their pumpkin business.

“Five years ago, fall had only foursunshiny days; the rest were overcast,or overcast with rain,” said Mark. “Wehad been selling pumpkins from aflatbed for three years. That year thedreary weather hatched this idea ofbuilding a shed.”

With the shed, the Kooimas now hada permanent place to continue vendingvegetables beginning in September andexpand their pumpkins and squashvarieties to 2.5 acres of land and start acorn maze. It also gave their business aname: Pumpkins on Garfield, whichreflects their location on GarfieldAvenue, three miles south of Doon.

The Kooimas harvest all the pumpkinsthemselves, bringing them into the shed.Hay and straw bales make the perfectbackdrop for the many colors of fall. Cus-tomers like to browse around the bright,airy shed looking for the right pumpkins.

There are many choices in color,shapes and types. Peanut shells andknucklehead pumpkins are conversationstarters, and popular. Broom corn, orna-mental corn in many different colors andsizes make selection difficult, but fun.

One of the most beloved items in theshed is the 1953 Chevy pickup. Familiesenjoy taking pictures around it. Thepickup at one time belonged to Mark’sbrother’s father-in-law. He used it tohaul feed to his customers in Renville,Minn. After his death, the pickupmoved to Iowa. The pumpkin shedseems to be its permanent home now.

Pumpkins on Garfield fun for the whole family

GARFIELD, from pg. 13“I can’t get it started,” said Mark. “And I am not

sure I want to as, if I remember right, the last time Idrove it the brakes didn’t work.”

The Kooimas have learned that many groups wantto enjoy a meal together on the picnic tables outdoors.They would bring taverns (or sloppy joe), chips andpop. This year, the Kooimas finished a small indoorkitchen complete with counter space and electricaloutlets for crock pots to meet their customers’ needs.Corn maze

The corn maze was added several years ago. Thisseason’s design is a combine harvesting corn. Kooimauses a GPS, map and mower to lay out the mazewhen the corn is about knee high. It needs cuttingtwice, then is mowed several times throughout thesummer, when the sunshine and rain provide theright environment for weeds to grow.

The maze has 10 stations where the maze enthusi-asts obtain a punch on a card for locating each sta-tion. For an additional challenge, the Kooimasinclude a hidden object that is not listed on the map.

“Yes, people do get lost,” said Mark. “Last year Ihad to come to the rescue twice.”

“Telephone numbers are included for that very pur-pose,” said Nancy. “People do go through the maze inthe daylight, such as school groups. It is at night

when it really is popular.”Family business

To say life is busy at the Kooima house would beexpected for parents of five children ages 1-13. Nowadd farming and Mark’s job as an agronomist at therecently merged CFE Cooperative Farmers Elevator.They also sell 1.5 acres of sweet corn and a full arrayof vegetables at two local towns.

School days are spent at Hull Protestant ReformedSchool for the older children. Then there’s canningand freezing food for the family’s winter use.

For Pumpkins on Garfield, Nancy has been freezingapple pies and making saucesjes, the Dutch form ofpigs in a blanket. The seasoned sausages are wrappedin a blanket of dough. Both are sold unbaked andfrozen. Occasionally she does have baked treats avail-able. Jams, salsas and other canned items from acommercial kitchen can be purchased.

Customers buy pumpkins for fall displays but alsoto make pies and breads. The Cinderella pumpkinseems to be a favorite with customers for that pur-pose. The Kooimas also grow pie pumpkins.

“All pumpkins will work to some extent,” saidNancy. “The larger ones are more watery.”Growing

Mark plants his pumpkin, gourd and squash seedsaround May 10. Cucurbits like warm soil, and sur-prisingly do very well if it is hot and dry.

There is more to it than putting the seed in theground. He watches carefully to see that all varietiesgerminate, as some can be touchy with their germina-tion. Animals might dig up the seed to eat, or insectsmay attack the new seedling. Often times there issome replanting; that was not the case this year.

“The battle with weeds begins almost immedi-ately,” said Mark. “A small tractor and cultivator do agood job first. Later the weed battle is fought with ahoe until the vines get too thick.”

Mark continues to monitor the plants for insect pres-sure or plant diseases. Before 2012 corn rootworm bee-tles were a menace. They destroy the crop by chewingup the leaves and even eating the skin of pumpkins.

“The winter of 2012 was cold and dry,” said Mark.“Since then we have not found many corn rootwormbeetles even feeding on corn roots.”

Concerned about the lack of bees in his pumpkinvines, he wondered how to change that. He noticedthe few sunflower plants growing always seemed toattract bees.

He planted a row of sunflowers along the edge of thepumpkin field. They did draw bees and other pollina-tors. It appears that once the sunflower blossom is fin-ished the bees are looking for something new. Theylocate the pumpkin blossoms and get right to work.

Pumpkins on Garfield is often on Mark’s mind.Once while on a family fishing vacation near Per-ham, Minn., he noticed some fall metalworks next toa store. He hastily got his wife from the resort,telling her, “You just gotta see these!”

The end result was a car filled with as many treas-ures as they could haul. The same might happen toyou at Pumpkins on Garfield.

ORANGE CITY, Iowa — A piece of paper writtenin pencil records the first sales of pumpkins 26 yearsago by the children of Dave and Helen Huitink.

“We never planned this,” said Helen. “It was just adisplay of pumpkins with a scarecrow that beganthis pumpkinland experience.”

Since then their Orange City farm has become adestination for families, college students and travel-ers. Each fall thousands of visitors will come to thefarm for many reasons.

“There are times I look out my window and see scoresof people walking around,” said Helen. “I ask myselfwhat is the draw, why do they enjoy it here so much?”

People enjoy that it is an authentic farm. TheHuitinks grow corn and soybeans and raise a sheepflock. They also have a mini-zoo of farm animals, kit-tens, goats, llama or alpacas, a hen with baby chick-ens, ducks, geese, a pony and peacocks.Harvest market

The shed, built in 1996, gives visitors a mini mallexperience with crafts from local vendors — oldfavorites such as handmade soaps and new ideas, somewhimsical, some practical. In a hurry or hungry, a tablefilled with baked treats such as cookies and pies by twolocal bakers tempt anyone. Last year over 2,000 deco-rated pumpkin-cutout cookies went out the door.

Pumpkinland has their own private label on a vari-ety of jam, jellies, syrups, caramel corn, kettle cornand, of course, pumpkin seeds.

“People do come for pumpkins and squash, too,”said Helen. “My favorite is the spaghetti squash, youjust got to try this recipe.” (See the Spaghetti SquashAlfredo recipe below.)

“No calories, at all,” said Phyllis De Haan, one oftheir valued employees.

“My favorite is the plain old butternut squash,”said Dave Huitink. “I really do like that old fash-ioned Thanksgiving dinner.”

Shoppers choose from 30 varieties of wintersquash. Altogether, the Huitinks have 101 differentkinds of pumpkin, squash and gourds growing ontheir farm.Corn maze

“The corn maze theme is Dutch Village,” saidHelen. “Our daughter Sherry Lang drew it out usingfive Dutch buildings from Orange City. We wanted todo something local; she did a fantastic job.”

Sherry’s husband Chris is instrumental in helpingcut the maze, along with the Huitinks’ three children.Huitink’s son Darren is the No. 1 person in charge ofmaking sure the maze design gets cut out correctly.Dave does the mowing following Darren’s directions.

Hidden in the seven acre corn maze are six sta-tions each with a paper punch so visitors can markthat the station has been found. The maze takes

“If every trail was walked,” said Dave. “It would beclose to a two-mile walk.”

A smaller maze in the shape of a tulip is free foryounger children.Experience

From the start Pumpkinland has offered schooltours. Over 60 schools will come to their school-house building to learn a bit about pumpkins. Thedemonstrations are geared for different ages. Theinstructor ends each tour by popping an ear of corn.

“So many kids don’t know much about where theirfood comes from,” said Dave. “It is fascinating tothem to see popcorn popped from an ear of corn.”

The popcorn harvest last year was huge; much ofit is sold there on-site.

Local businesses often plan outings for theiremployees’ families. A trip to Pumpkinland is also apopular event for church youth groups and BibleStudies. They can use the schoolhouse or one of twofire pits the Huitinks have available.

“One thing I especially like to see,” said Dave, “is

that on weekdays, moms will come out with theirchildren. While the children are playing at the play-ground, moms are visiting with each other. They arejust enjoying a fall day together.”

“Or we see families looking a bit hurried,” saidHelen. “They take a wagon out to the patch, fill it upwith pumpkins and come back smiling. It is a familytradition for many, they are creating good memories.”

Saturdays are especially busy, with special eventsplanned. BG’s Cakes N More from Hawarden, Iowa,opens her food mobile.

“Funnel cakes are a big thing,” said Helen. “Shedeep fat fries Oreo cookies and Twinkies. They are sogood. She plans to offer hot sandwiches this year.”

Double V Pony rides by Steve Vander Vliet areback again on Saturdays. Vander Vliet has a carouselof live ponies that young children can ride for a fee.

He will be at Pumpkinland on Saturdays only, 11a.m. to 2 p.m., through Oct. 10.

There are plenty of photo opportunities for fami-lies, inside and outside. Most have been designed,painted and made by daughter Sherry Lang.

“The best part is the people,” said Helen. “I enjoywho I get to work with here. And the customers.Some I only see once a year, when they come toPumpkinland. I love to visit with them all.”

Thank you notes come to the Huitinks. Often thesender will say “You have been a blessing.”

“I hear employees and customers say ‘what a beauti-ful sunset; you never see that in town,’ they will add,”said Dave. “Perhaps there are things about farm lifewe take for granted. Our visitors remind us of those.”

The outdoor wood burningfurnace market is dictated bythe Environmental ProtectionAgency. For the past decade,this expanding industry,through voluntary collabora-tion among manufacturers,has designed and built theiroutdoor furnaces to the satisfaction oftheir customers.

While quality and emission issueswere guiding the industry, the EPAdecided new standards were needed tobetter regulate and control air qualityissues.

Chad Bakke is director of operationsof Heatmor Outdoor Furnaces of War-road, Minn. Heatmor manufacturesoutdoor furnaces that are used to heathomes, hot water systems, shops,garages and greenhouses. The furnaceburns wood which heats water that isthen pumped under-ground to heat homesand outbuildings, oftenby hooking up to aforced air system. In-floor heating is alsoused.

“Voluntary standardswithin the industry hadworked for years, butenvironmentalists insome states pressuredthe Federal govern-ment to establish countrywide rulesand regulations. So rather suddenlyEPA decided it was the logical rulemaker. And that meant changes in ourHeatmor units,” Bakke said.

“EPA uses a laboratory in Oregon fortesting. We introduced two new modelsthis fall but had to send both to thisOregon facility before putting thesenew furnaces into the market.”

Heatmor produces the conventionalwood burning outdoor furnaces butalso provides coal burning units, usedoil units, a pellet burning stove andeven corn burning rigs.

Bakke said Heatmor furnaces have astainless steel firebox with waterjacket wrapped around the fireboxplus sand and firebrick. Stainless steelprovides longevity.

He indicated Heatmor has manyunits now 25 to 30 years old and stillrunning. A limited lifetime warrantythat is transferable should there be achange of ownership of a given furnaceis also part of the marketing package.

The 35,000-square-foot Heatmor fac-

tory is heated by two Heatmor800 industrial units. And theprimary wood source for thesenorthern Minnesota furnacesare jackpine and tamarack.

Bakke points out there is sig-nificant differences in BTUcontent of various wood sourceand moisture content. Sea-soned wood that has been cut

about a year earlier is his recommen-dation, but older wood obviously canwork OK, too.

Because these outdoor furnaces canweigh up to a ton, a concrete base padis recommended. The Heatmor unitsinclude an auger for cleaning the ashesfrom the firebox. Costs range from$10,000 and up depending upon themodel. A new Heatmor 350 X, forexample, will cost about $10,700 andwill heat up to 8,000 square feet. Youcan have multiple hookups from a sin-gle unit.

Insurance is recom-mended for outdoor fur-naces. Your local insur-ance company may haverules regarding distancebetween the furnaceand your residence.

Heatmor marketsthrough area dealers.

“We’re in every statethat burns wood,” saidBakke.

He indicated market activity for out-door furnaces relates to the cost ofother fuels. But Bakke is certain overthe long haul an investor gets more forhis buck going the route of wood-burn-ing outdoor furnaces.

Mike Galusha, Heatmor dealer sup-port/service and warranty, said thatthe outdoor furnaces are popular withfarm and rural customers becausethey have access to their own wood.Farmers find many uses outside of theususal home heating.

“Lots of greenhouses, turkey barns,hog facilities, even did a chicken coop.And farm shops are becoming quitecommon,” said Galusha. “The morefunctions off a given system, thequicker the payback.”

“Saving up to $400-$500 per monthis common and with additionalhookups a $1,000 per month reductionin your heating bill is easily doable,”said Bakke.

Bakke said four- to five-year pay-backs are the norm. He has his shop,his house and his hot water hooked upto his five-year-old unit.

Looking ahead, Bakke said researchand development is a continual func-tion with Heatmor. For example, Heat-mor’s new EPA-qualified units areupdrafts which are easier to managethan conventional down draft fur-naces.

“There’s more but I can’t sharebecause this is a competitive market,”he said.

A new product for Heatmor is gun

safes. Bakke said they are all 3/16-inch body and up to a half-inch door.Fire rating is 1,200 F for 90 minutes.They are hefty, starting at 1,050pounds. Prices start at $4,000 for thegun safes which can be accessed atwww.Reedcustom.com.

Grain prices are effective cash close on Sept. 29. The price index chart compares an average of most recently reported local cash prices with the same average for a year ago.*Cash grain price change represents a two-week period.

Grain AnglesTechnical or

fundamental?The U.S. Department of Agriculture Supply and

Demand reports released earlier in September con-firmed the USDA is reducing its expectations on cornyields this fall. The national average corn yield isestimated at 167.5 bushels per acre. Minnesota cornyields expectations continue to bea bright spot.

The USDA expects Minnesota’scorn yield at 183 bushels per acrewhich is even two bushels higherthan Iowa’s expected corn yield.With national corn yields slightlylowered along with lower beginningstocks the market seems to havemoved off of the August contractlows in December 2015 corn futures.

You may have heard latelyabout technical analysis which is:reading commodity charts, identi-fying chart formations, and ana-lyzing what trading volumes mean. The other morecommonly known market analysis approach uses fun-damental analysis, which takes supply and demandfactors into account. Fundamental analysis is mucheasier for many to understand because supply anddemand has an influence on anything and everythingthat is of value and exchanged between people.

Technical Analysis looks at historical price move-ments, and trade volumes along with trends in howthe markets are moving in order to predict futureprice direction. Common technical indicators are 50-and 100-day moving average prices, chart forma-tions, and relative strength volume indicators.

Although most of us have had no formal training inhow this type of trading influences price fluctuations,

Grain OutlookCombine paceaccelerating

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing Sept. 25.

CORN — Corn began the week on a strong techni-cal note with a key reversal higher and finished theweek with a surge higher that accounted for themajority of the week’s rally.

December corn closed out theweek at $3.89 per bushel, up 113⁄4 cents. The July corn contractwas up 11 cents for the week at$4.12 3⁄4 per bushel. Despite thepush higher, December cornremained in the $3.95 to $3.60range it has maintained sincethe Aug. 12 crop report. Harvestweather looks favorable for theweek of Sept. 28 with combinesaccelerating their pace. Dryingcosts, or income depending onwhich side of the spout you areon, are evaporating quickly.

Yield reports around the Corn Belt are varied, butexpectations are for a lower average U.S. yield onthe Oct. 9 crop report. Harvest as of Sept. 20 was 10percent complete versus 15 percent on average.Corn conditions were unchanged at 68 percentgood/excellent for the fourth consecutive week. Con-ditions have not fallen below 68 percent good/excel-lent this entire crop year.

Federal Reserve Chairman Janet Yellen hinted thatinterest rates may yet see an increase in this calen-dar year. This could be supportive to the U.S. dollarand a negative for commodity prices in general. How-ever, any increase is yet to be announced and mayhave already been factored into price forecasts.

Livestock AnglesCattle prices

fallingOne thing about markets that never seems to

change, is the changes that they continue to makeeach and every day.

The beginning of September has brought about areal contrast between the hog and cattle markets.For quite some time the cattlewas the market that did notseem to go down while the hogswere always in a downwarddrift. This month has startedwith a different venue. As hogsare still drifting lower, the cattlemarket is now experiencing realdownward pressure on prices.

By the middle of the month cat-tle prices were falling into thelows of the year because of con-cerns over demand for beef. Amajor change in the attitudetoward the cattle market has notbeen seen in quite some time. Despite the fact thatcattle numbers remain tight, the beef cutouts and theboxed beef movement suggest that beef prices weretoo high in comparison to other competitive meats.

One contributing factor was the large increase incattle weights which has been able to keep the beeftonnage higher than many analysts had projected.Another factor has been that the increased numbersin pork, chicken and turkey production has pushed theprices of each lower, making the competition of thesemeats more attractive to the consumers. While cattlenumbers are not expected to increase anytime soon,the relationship between all of the competitive meatswill be a major factor in the price discovery process.

On Sept. 18, the USDA released the Monthly Cattle

OCT’14 NOV DEC JAN’15 FEB MAR APR MAY JUNE JULY AUG SEP

NYSTROM, from pg. 18Export sales were less than

expected at 16.8 million bushels.Total sales are 30 percent behind last year. The U.S.Department of Agriculture’s outlook projects just a1.3 percent decline in year-on-year exports. Saleswill need to average a solid 30.8 million bushels perweek to hit the 1.85-billion-bushel export projection.Last year, exports averaged just 27.1 million bushelsper week from now through the crop year. Mexicostepped in this week to book 488 tmt of U.S. cornwhich gave the corn market its strong start on Mon-day. China’s corn imports in August at 607,000 mtwere up an astounding 354 percent from a year agowith Ukraine supplying 445 tmt of the total. Weeklyethanol production fell 23,000 barrels per day to938,000 bpd. Ethanol stocks were up 609,000 barrelsto 18.9 million barrels.

OUTLOOK: The average trade estimate for theSept. 30 release of the Grain Stocks as of Sept. 1 is1.739 billion bushels. The USDA’s number on theSeptember monthly crop report was 1.732 billionbushels. The next USDA balance sheets will be pub-lished Oct. 9 at 11 a.m. Central. The short-termrange for December corn is $3.75/$3.65 to$3.90/$3.95 per bushel; however, with so much ofharvest still ahead of us, a retreat to the $3.50 areais plausible. Yield reports are improving as more ofthe crop is harvested, but a cut in the average yieldis anticipated on the October update and may bealready accounted for in the current price level.

SOYBEANS — November soybeans pushed 22cents higher for the week to close at $8.89 1⁄4 perbushel, with 21 1⁄4 cents of that rally occurring onFriday. This was the highest weekly close in over amonth. July soybeans were up 21 cents to settle at$9.03 3⁄4 per bushel. November soybeans nextupside target is $8.94 1⁄2 per bushel, the double topfrom mid-September.

China signed a bigger-than-expected “frame” con-tract this week to buy 13.2 mmt of U.S. soybeansover the next two years. No basis level, futures price,or delivery time is associated with the contract, so inessence it’s a political gesture. That said, China didbuy a total of 544.5 tmt of U.S. beans this week for

the current marketing year. Another 553tmt of soybeans were sold to “unknown” dur-

ing the week. U.S. soybeans are competitivewith South American origin. So far, China hasbought 7.3 mmt of U.S. beans for the 2015-16 cropyear compared to 16.3 mmt last year at this time.

A supportive factor to U.S. prices came as the weekended when the Brazilian government stated “allinstruments are available for the central bank” tosupport the Real. Brazilian farmers have been experi-encing excellent prices, and rewarding the marketwith selling, due to the weakness of their currencyversus the U.S. dollar. The Real fell to an all-time highnear 4.25 versus the U.S. dollar during the week. Soy-bean planting is just beginning in Brazil, but acreageis projected to rise by three percent year-to-year andproduction may exceed the 100 mmt level. It has beendry in northern Brazil, limiting early planting.

The USDA will try again on Oct. 1 to release thefirst U.S.-wide official oilseed crush report. This reportwas halted four years ago due to budget cuts. It wassupposed to be reinstated in August, but a poor indus-try response for data pushed the release to October.The October report will include data from Maythrough August. Weekly export sales were better thanexpected at 48.4 million bushels. Total export commit-ments are down 35 percent from last year when theUSDA balance sheet shows a six percent decline inexports year on year. U.S. sales to China stand at 7.3mmt, down from 16.3 mmt on the books last year atthis juncture. This does not include this week’s Chi-nese purchases. U.S. sales need to average a strong21.9 million bushels per week to achieve the 1.725 bil-lion bushel export forecast. Last year, U.S. beanexports averaged 17 million bushels per week fromthis point to the end of the marketing year.

Soybean harvest as of Sept. 20 was at the average ofseven percent complete. Fifty-six percent of the cropwas dropping leaves versus 50 percent average. Yieldreports are amazing with a whisper of a monitor hit-ting 100 bushels per acre in Illinois. In general, even ifcorn yields in an area have been disappointing, thesoybean yield has not. Could we see another increasein the average yield on the Oct. 9 report? The USDA iscurrently carrying the yield at 47.1 bu./acre versus

47.8 bu./acre last year. Soybean ratings regained thetwo percent they lost the previous week, returning to63 percent good/excellent as of Sept. 20.

OUTLOOK: The next big report will be Sept. 30with the release of the Grain Stocks as of Sept. 1report, which coincides as usual with month andquarter end. The average trade guess for the report is205 million bushels. On the September crop report,the USDA was posting 210 million bushels in inven-tory as of the end of the crop year, so no big surprisesare expected on this report. The November soybeanfirst support level is the contact low of $8.53 1⁄4 perbushel with first resistance at $8.94 1⁄2 per bushel.

Early yield reports have been as expected or better.The latest USDA yield forecast was 47.1 bu./acre and,based on reports, we could possibly see an increase inthat number. We have just started harvest, the worldis well supplied, South America is expected toincrease acres, and U.S. growers are undersold. Thissets the table for a lower outlook ($8.25 under themicroscope?) until we get further along in harvest.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the weekending Sept. 25: December Chicago wheat rallied 21cents, Kansas City gained 18 cents, and Minneapoliswas up 11 3⁄4 cents. November crude oil was 68 centshigher for the week at $45.70, ultra-low-sulfur dieselmoved 3 1⁄4 cents higher, reformulated blendstockfor oxygenate blending rose just over four cents andnatural gas fell 4 1⁄2 cents. ❖

Early soybean yield reports better than expected

TEALE, from pg. 18on Feed report. The results are as follows; On FeedSept. 1, 103 percent; Placed in August, 95 percent; andMarketed in August, 94 percent. The report was seenas friendly which could halt the recent slide in prices.However the long-term outlook will still be deter-mined by the consumer demand for beef, not thesupply of beef. Producers should be wary of marketrallies and pay close attention to competitive meatmarkets and protect inventories as needed.

Overall, the hog market has seen little change inthe direction of the market in the past few weeks.The trend is still on a downward drift in cash priceswhile the futures market has rallied to close the dis-count to the cash price. Hog numbers are still ade-quate to meet the packers needs and are expected tocontinue that way in the weeks ahead.

Pork demand has remained fairly well domesti-cally but has suffered some in the export marketdue to a strong U.S. dollar. The demand for pork willcertainly be a key factor in price determination inthe upcoming months ahead. The USDA QuarterlyHogs and Pigs report due out Sept. 25 is expected toshow a steady expansion in hog numbers. If this is,in fact the case, it will likely continue to keep thecurrent trend of prices drifting lower intact.

Therefore, producers should continue to monitormarket conditions and protect inventories as war-ranted. ❖

Hog market seeslittle change

LENSING, from pg. 18it’s extremely important if we want to get a betterunderstanding of price movements.

For example, technical analysis is currently sug-gesting a low has been put in place for corn prices,(maybe short term). Also corn prices have ralliedabove the 100-day moving average prices. Funda-mental analysis has not changed drastically in thepast month or two, since harvest or production num-bers overall have only changed slightly.

If a farmer is looking to expand on his or her mar-keting or risk management understanding, learningsome basic technical analysis indicators will helpbetter identify opportunities to sell grain. Major

commodity traders use technical analysis, to helpcompete in today’s market. Finding a trusted advisorto help you avoid making emotional marketing deci-sions is another tool in your toolbox.

This column was written for the mar-keting week ending Sept. 25.

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vil-sack announced Sept. 22 that he isextending the sign-up deadline for thedairy Margin Protection Program untilNov. 20. Vilsack acknowledged that fall isa busy time for dairy producers, and thatthe additional seven weeks for sign-upwill help the decision-making process onusing the MPP in 2016.

The National Milk Producers Federa-tion, which called on Vilsack to makethe extension last week, praised theaction, stating that it is “consistentwith Congress’s goal in creating theprogram, a goal shared by NMPF, which is to maxi-mize the opportunity for dairy farmers to utilize

this crucial risk management tool.”But Dairy Today’s Jim Dickrell, writing

in his Dairy Talk blog, makes the point:“Left unstated is dairy farmer disgruntle-ment with the program, and its failure topay out indemnities even though milkprices fell some 30 percent last year.”Dickrell says “An extension to Nov. 30would allow farmers more time, obviously.But it would also give them a better readon futures markets, and the likelihood ofindemnities being paid. This is precisely

what Congress wanted to avoid when itpassed the 2014 farm bill.”

“The fear then,” he said, “was thatallowing farmers to sign up just weeks

before the next year’s program went into effect wouldallow farmers to milk the U.S.Treasury. There was real con-cern, since farms of all sizes cannow participate, that govern-ment payouts could reach bil-lions of dollars.”

Meanwhile; Bob Gray, editor ofthe Northeast Dairy FarmersCooperative’s newsletter, reportsthat 18 Northeast House mem-bers sent a letter to SecretaryVilsack and Farm ServiceAgency Administrator Val Dol-cini, expressing concern withUSDA’s feed price calculationsused in determining MPP mar-gin levels.

They suggest the Departmentconduct a state-by-state surveyof feed prices, noting that the feed price calculationsdon’t take into account the fact that Northeast dairyfarmers generally have higher feed costs.

■

The hearing process got underway Tuesday in Clo-vis, Cal., to explore the formation of a Federal MilkMarket Order in the nation’s No. 1 milk producer.Speaking in Friday’s DairyLine, the Milk ProducersCouncil’s Rob Vandenheuvel described the long slowprocess, which he says will likely take over a month.

USDA witnesses are entering various data into therecord, including economic modeling, which is subjectto questioning. Opening statements by proposal pro-ponents may happen by week’s end, he said, andthen the focus will be on the initial proposal made byCalifornia’s three largest dairy cooperatives. He addsthat anyone can testify for as long as they want andanyone can cross examine those witnesses so it’simpossible to know how long the process will take.

A post-hearing brief will then be issued and thosewho testified have two months to amplify or clarifytheir testimony. Once completed the hearing isclosed, USDA produces a Recommended Decision forthe industry to review and comment on, and thenUSDA produces a Final Decision for dairy producersto vote on. Vandenheuvel anticipates that the FinalDecision will be issued about a year after the hear-ing is closed.

August milk production in the top 23 producingstates totaled 16.3 billion pounds, according to theU.S. Department of Agriculture’s preliminary data,up 0.8 percent from August 2014. The 50-state out-put, at 17.37 billion pounds, was also up 0.8 percent.Revisions added five million pounds to the originalJuly 23-state tally, now put at 16.6 billion pounds, up1.3 percent from a year ago.

August cow numbers totaled 9.32 million head inthe 50 states, unchanged from July but 53,000 morethan a year ago. Output per cow averaged 1,863pounds, down 31 pounds from July and just 5 poundsabove August 2014.

California output remains depressed, down 3.4 per-cent from August 2014, which followed a 3.3 percentdecline in July, and hasn’t been in positive territory

since November 2014. TheAugust decline came on a 65pound drop per cow and 1,000fewer cows.

Wisconsin just about offsetthe drop in California, up 4.8percent, which follows a 5.6 per-cent gain in July. Output percow was up 75 pounds and theherd was up 9,000. Output percow surpassed California’s forthe second time in 57 years.Idaho was up 0.8 percent on6,000 more cows but output percow was off five pounds. NewYork was up 2.5 percent, thanksto a 35-pound gain per cow and4,000 more cows. Pennsylvaniawas up 0.3 percent, on a five-

pound gain per cow, and Minnesota was up 4.7 per-cent on an 80-pound gain per cow.

Michigan was up 4.1 percent, thanks to 15,000more cows and a five-pound gain per cow, while NewMexico went the other way, dropping 4.3 percent on a90-pound loss per cow. South Dakota continued tolead the increases, up 13.3 percent, on a 50-poundgain per cow and 10,000 more cows. Texas dropped1.4 percent, due to 8,000 fewer cows, though outputper cow was up five pounds. Washington State wasdown 0.4 percent on a 25-pound loss per cow. Cownumbers were up 2,000 head.

Analysts viewed the data as neutral to slightlybullish for the market. HighGround Dairy’s EricMeyer pointed out that U.S. milk production wasabove year ago levels for the 20th consecutive monthbut was at its slowest growth on a percentage basissince it was last negative in December 2013.

He also warned that “It is anticipated that milkcow growth will continue in the Upper Midwest as anumber of large dairy farms are set to expand or goonline in the coming months alongside declining feedcosts.”

Current U.S. milk output is down seasonally due tounfavorable weather and temperatures, reportsDairy Market News. High temperatures in the Mid-

Margin Protection sign-up deadline pushed to Nov. 20

MIELKE, from pg. 22west, New Mexico, Pacific Northwest,and rainy weather in Arizona and NewMexico are adversely affecting cow com-fort and prolonging harvest of crops.

Bottling demand is leveling as schoolpipelines are filled. Spot milk loads areless available. Manufacturers note thedecline in milk supplies but are com-fortable at current levels. Ice creamand other cream based products arepulling less cream and making suppliesavailable, even with the declines inmilk and components.

Dairy cow culling dropped in August,according to USDA’s latest LivestockSlaughter report. An estimated 225,400dairy cows were slaughtered underFederal inspection, down 13,200 fromJuly and 3,100 less than August 2014.

The first eight months of 2015 saw1.92 million cows head to Burger Kingand McDonald’s, up 69,300 or 3.7 per-cent from the same period a year ago.

■

Back to milk production; EU outputis still above a year ago. As the quota

system expired, manyfarmers expanded herdsizes. The increased pro-duction led to historic lows in farmprices and while they have many farm-ers protesting, they have no plans toslow down production, according toDairy Market News.

Dairy Market News says Australiahas been fairly dry after a cool, drywinter. Farmers are hoping for favor-able conditions as spring approaches.With the low farm level prices, farmersare in need of optimal grass growth,but the current cold, wet weatherseems to have put a damper on this.Milk production is up from year agolevels. Even with the low prices, outputdoes not seem to be slowing down.

New Zealand’s milk output forecast islower, which is pushing up the market.Some sources suggest production isslowing as cold, wet weather hasaffected cow comfort. Cow culling isincreasing but has not affected produc-tion rates and early calving seems to beaiding in this, says Dairy Market News.

New Zealand’s Fonterra Cooperative

lifted its forecast totalavailable for payout for

the 2015-16 season to$5.00-$5.10 kgMS due to an increase inthe forecast Farmgate Milk Price of 75cents. Farmer shareholders have alsobeen able to apply to receive a loan ofan additional 50 cents per share-backed kilogram of milk solids for pro-duction through to December.

Fonterra says the move was

prompted by the improved forecastFarmgate Milk Price reflected the liftin global prices since July with wholemilk powder increasing 44 percentand skim milk powder increasing 21percent.

For the farm family, thecoming of fall means thestreamlining of chores tomake them easier to do inthe rush of getting the cropin and the tillage done.

It means long days andshort nights, lunches to go,making time and gas countby doing several errands inone trip, knowing wherethe aspirin bottle is (andsometimes bottles withlong necks, holding themore popular universal liquid problemsolvers), and squeezing in all thehave-to’s that come with daily livingin rural America.

I remember a warm day last fallwhen I was trying to get it all done.When afternoon came, I took a breakfrom writing and set out to take someharvest photos in the area. I visitedwith farmers who were nice enough tostop their combines long enough totalk yield and moisture.

(When most women talk yield andmoisture, it’s a completely differentconversation.)

It was my night off fromtaking supper to the field, sosince I had a little time, Iwent to the grocery store. Iwas going home right afterthat, so it would work per-fectly. I was making it count.

Driving home I spotted our neighborcombining beans across the road fromour place, so before I took the grocerieshome I drove into the field and gotmore photo selections for the paper,and he invited me to ride with him inthe combine. It would only be a fewshort rounds, and I hadn’t visited withour neighbor in quite some time.

It would be a nice time to catch upand talk crops, family and importantissues like stamping out toenail fungusonce and for all.

I rode a few rounds and found theconversation to be both nostalgic and

refreshing. It reminded me once againof how special all of our neighbors are.

Afternoon turned into night, and stillwe talked, remembered, looked aheadand hooked up wagons together as hecontinued harvesting his soybeans.When it was time to part ways, I wasgrateful to be able to share that after-noon and evening with someone whohad taught my husband so much aboutfarming before he was able to do it onhis own. I was sorry we didn’t gettogether more often.

By now it was 8:30 p.m. I drove thecar across the road and into ourgarage, went into the house to makelunches for our guys for the next dayand start supper for our harvestingcrew for the next night. Everyone gothome late, showered the sweat awayfrom the warm day and went to bed,knowing the next day’s work was only

a few hours away.I’m not sure what did it, but I woke up

with a start at sunrise that next morn-ing, realizing the groceries I’d picked upthat afternoon before were still in thecar. I’d forgotten all about them in myexcitement to ride my “few rounds” inthe combine with our neighbor. Theyhad been in the warm car all that time.

If they had been items like cannedgoods or bread, no worries — but youmight know, most of it was milk andmeat. Everything was warm, with theexception of my husband, who was alittle hot under the collar when he dis-covered that my bad memory was nowcosting him money.

Good thing I wasn’t a horse with a bro-ken leg. I suppose we could be born ahorse in the next life — and you knowwhat that means when it all hits the fan.

You can just forget it.I’ve already gotten a head start on

that one.Karen Schwaller brings “Table Talk”

Ever since you were a child,you’ve had dreams to fulfill.

Some of them may have beeneasy: you wanted to visit a themepark, you hoped for a puppy, youwanted another no-school day.Other dreams, though, were chal-lenging — so much so thatmaybe they haven’t happenedyet. And, as in the new novel“The Hired Girl” by Laura AmySchlitz, you’ll hang onto themuntil they do.

Miss Chandler knew that JoanSkraggs was special.

She never said that, exactly,but Joan knew her teacher thought so. Miss Chan-dler was always pressing new books into Joan’s will-ing hands, and they conversed like good friends. Thatmeant the world to 14-year-old Joan. It was some-thing she looked forward to very much, until Fathersaid she couldn’t go to school anymore, that she wasneeded on the farm.

It was 1911, Joan’s mother was dead, and Joan wasthe cooking-cleaning-washerwoman of the house. Shebarely had clothes to wear; her father clearly hatedher, but she didn’t know how much until the day hedid something despicable. And so, Joan ran away.

Once, Miss Chandler had accidentally given Joan apage of newspaper. That’s where Joan saw help-wanted ads for a servant girl who could make $6 aweek doing the things Joan did on the farm for free.Being paid for her work seemed like a dream, butshe didn’t know where to start. She also didn’t knowwhere she would stay on her first night, which ishow she ended up on a Baltimore park bench, sob-bing.

She had so many dreams. This wasn’t the waythings were supposed to be.

She knew it wasn’t lady-like to speak to strangemen but the one who approached her seemed kind.Thinking quickly, Joan changed her name to JanetLovelace, lied about her age, and poured out a half-

fabricated story betweenher tears. And when theman, Solomon Rosenbach,said he knew of a safeplace for her to go, andmaybe a job, he changedher life…

I’ll bet it took me 70pages before I noticed that “The Hired Girl” might bea book for young adults. That’s where you’ll probablyfind it in bookstores and libraries, but you knowwhat? It won’t matter. You’ll eat this book right up.

How could you not, when this novel is led by asassy, independent character reminiscent of everyclassic literary heroine you’ve ever loved? Yes, that’swhat author Laura Amy Schlitz brings to thesepages in the form of a young girl’s diary and vividsettings that will remind you of Brontë and Dickin-son works.

But that lusciousness of word isn’t all you’ll findhere. Schlitz also pulls arguments of the day into herstory: anti-Irish sentiments, anti-Semitism, class

wars, women’s rights, and even a bit of his-tory.

So yes, this is a teen’s novel meant foraged 12-and-up, but it’s one no adult shouldresist. If you’re looking for the next classicnovel to love, “The Hired Girl” is a dream toread.

Look for the reviewed book at a bookstore or alibrary near you. You may also find the book atonline book retailers.

The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Terrihas been reading since she was three years oldand never goes anywhere without a book. Shelives in Wisconsin with three dogs and 10,000books. ❖

The latest full ‘From the Fields’ crop reports from our Minnesota

& northern Iowa producersThe Pulks Wannaska, Minn.

The yields may not be spectacular but at leastAndy Pulk is experiencing “beautiful conditions”for harvest. He was “just about done with mysoybeans” when The Land spoke with Pulk onSept. 25; the yield was “average to belowaverage.” Meanwhile, the sunflowers won’t beharvested for another 10 to 12 days. He’soptimistic about good corn yields — “There’s 40acres of corn that might be close to one of my

records.” With corn moisturecurrently between 28 to 30percent, Pulk would ideallylike to see that drop six toeight percent before hecombines. He expects he’ll beharvesting corn in 10 to 15

days. Pulk suspects that “wheat is going to be thehighlight of our year.” Many long days and nightsin the combine await, but pleasant harvestconditions will make the job a heck of a lot easier.

The Lees McIntosh, Minn.

The soybeans are ready to combine but JoanLee’s focus has been to get corn chopping done.The Land spoke to Lee on Sept. 24 as the cornchopping had just wrapped up, and there’s “someleft to combine.” Once bean harvest begins, Leeexpects that it will take four to five days tocomplete harvest. As for the corn, “it will be awhile before the rest of it is ready to combine.”When Lee was chopping she saw at least two ears

on each stalk — “they weregood sized and filled out.” Inthe midst of harvest, she’sfeeling positive so far. “It’sstill going good.”

The Haarstads Rothsay, Minn.

John Haarstad tookadvantage of good conditionsand got his soybean harvestcompleted in nine straightdays. When The Land spoke toHaarstad on Sept. 24, he was happy to report thatbean harvest was complete in record time. “Thebeans were good; a lot better than I thought.” Nowthoughts turn to corn. “We’re black layered,”

Haarstad said. He was going to put the corn headon and try to combine some corn on the 24th.While that’s historically early for Haarstad, it’s“not that early in terms of recent memory.” If thecorn isn’t ready then he’ll go get some tiling done.He said the forecast called for “pretty niceweather for the next week and a half.” Whetherit’s corn harvest or tile projects, Haarstad has somegood weather ahead to get the job done.

The Filzens Renville, Minn.

Soybean harvest is 60 percent complete for DaleFilzen and so far the “yields have been very good.”He reported to The Land Sept. 28 that in a couplemore days bean harvest would be done. Corn iscurrently at 20 to 25 percent moisture; it’s “dryingpretty good.” Filzen said he expected to “startpicking the end of this week. ... a little ahead ofnormal.” Meanwhile, the sugar beets’ sugar “hascome up nicely.” Full harvest for beets were to

start Friday. “I’ll be glad toget the beans out, thenconcentrate on corn andbeets,” he said. Even withthree different crops that heexpected to be harvesting thisweek, Filzen said that so far

“I feel we’re sitting pretty good.”

The ThorpesCanby, Minn.

Harvest season is about to commence on theThorpe farm. When The Land spoke with NathanThorpe on Sept. 18 he was anticipating beginningbean harvest the very next day. The weather helpedpush the beans — “the hot wind really broughtthings along faster.” Thorpe expects it will take twoweek to finish bean harvest. Meanwhile, “The cornis really advancing fast; the husks are brown.”There will be no breaks between combining this

fall. “When we get done withbeans, we’ll roll right intocorn,” Thorpe said. He isn’tplanning on having to dry anycorn as the forecast calls for“very favorable harvestweather.” Thorpe’s “favorite

season of the year” has arrived, and he couldn’t behappier to get in his combine and start rolling.

The PagelsWinthrop, Minn.

Kidney bean harvest is“about half-way done,” forDelayne Pagel. He was feelinggood about the kidney harvestthus far, when The Landspoke with Pagel on Sept. 18. “I think they’redoing good, yield-wise.” After kidney bean harvesthe’ll focus on “getting the dryers going” andworking on the combine. Pagel’s soybeans are

turning and should be ready to combine in abouttwo to three weeks. The corn may actually beat thebeans to harvest, though. “I’m thinking aboutcombining some corn before soybeans.” Pagelexpects some of his corn to be ready for harvest ina few weeks. While he is hopeful for good yieldsthis harvest, “I don’t know if the corn will be asgood as they say it is,” said Pagel. “Time will tell.”

The MarblesMapleton, Minn.

Light but persistent raincontinues to fall on HarlanMarble’s farm. “We’ve hadfour days of drizzle,” he toldThe Land on Sept. 18. Allthat rain resulted in “two rivers that are out oftheir banks.” The rain has also delayed soybeanharvest; Marble has two fields ready for harvestonce they dry out. The corn is “great, everything is

still standing well; hot nights are pushing corn in ahurry.” He said the 100-day corn instantly startedto dry down and husks opened up right at 100days. Although the crops are maturing, “it doesnot look good” to get in the fields soon. Onceharvest begins, however, Marble will be ready to gowith his post-surgery wrist as he’s now “able to dojust about everything.” He’s also thinking positivelyabout harvest: “We’re looking at a bumper crop.”

The HeusinkveldsWykoff, Minn.

Fourth crop hay harvest is complete for NateHeusinkveld; he told The Land on Sept. 18 that it“still yielded good” and he was happy with theresults. Heusinkveld is now half-way done withcorn silage harvest, having started combining Sept.13. He said his cows have been enjoying the less-humid weather that arrived as much as he has.The windy, hot conditions of the previous week“really dried down” the corn. So far, Heusinkveld’s

crops are ahead of schedule.“I think it’s going to be anearly fall the way the cropsare progressing,” he said.

The KempsSibley, Iowa

Soybean harvest is just around the corner forBrian Kemp. The Land spoke with Kemp on Sept.18 as he was hoping for cooperative weather thatwould let him start combining the next week. Sucha start would make this year’s harvest right ontime. “The corn looks good,” said Kemp, althoughhe’s “a little less optimistic than I was earlier inthe summer.” He’s seeing “real variability in earsize” and expects “a decent corn crop, not a

record corn crop.” Withharvest equipment “prettymuch ready to go” and theforecast for next week lookinggood, it’s almost “go-time” forKemp.

The Froemmings Garfield, Minn.

Some soybean harvests aregood; some are so bad that ithurts. This year’s crop forRodney Froemming wasneither of those — it wasgreat. When The Land spoke with Froemming onSept. 25, he was thrilled to report that this year’ssoybeans were “the best we’ve ever had in ourlives. ... Best I’ve ever had by eight to nine

bushels.” Some beans were yielding 60 bushelsper acre. What made this year’s beans yield so wellfor Froemming? It was a combination of “decentheat, good moisture,” he said. Once Froemmingcompletes his bean harvest he’ll start somesoybean custom combine work. He predicts thatcorn will be “an exceptional crop.” Things areshaping up to be an excellent harvest on theFroemming farm.

Valley Veggies, west of Mankato, Minn.

Hummingbirds, bees and monarch butterfliesvisit a cheerful you-pick zinnia patch at ValleyVeggies. The flowers, along with a you-pick herb

patch, will be here until it freezes.Valley Veggies is a roadside market on Scenic High-

way 68, just 5.5 miles west of Mankato. Hens, roostersand Chip the rescue dog greet visitors as they browsebushels of winter squash and pumpkins and load upmini straw bales for autumn decorations.

Known for locally grown vegetables that are chemicalfree and sustainably grown, Valley Veggies is farmed,owned and operated by Terri and John Anderson.

“I’ve never had a year like this before,” said Terri.“The harvest this year is fantastic.”

A colorful variety of hubbard, cushaw, buttercup,acorn, spaghetti, carnival, delicata, small wonder, but-ternut and red warty things are harvested and ready tocook and eat. They have cinderella and hulless pump-kins, which are edible meat pumpkins.

The Andersons start their plants in their greenhousein February-March and altogether plant 15 plus acresto sell. In the spring, they sell starter plants anddonate some to community gardens. Last year, theybuilt a new chicken coop and their Black Giant andAraucana hens offer farm fresh eggs.

“We are our own farmers market. We don’t sell any-place else,” said Terri.

“Our prices are cheaper because they drive out to us,”said John.

A fifth generation farmer, Terri’s roots run deep inthe Minnesota River Valley. She is a descendent ofLouis Seppmann, who in 1864 built the Seppmann Millthat is located in the nearby Minneopa State Park. In1929, the Seppmann family donated the mill to theBlue Earth County Historical Society, which deeded itto the state in 1931.

Terri’s parents farmed organically, so the ground hasbeen untouched by chemicals for 35 years. In 1997, thecouple started Valley Veggies with their four childrenby selling vegetables at the end of their driveway.These days, the kids are grown and so has the opera-tion. The family has about 30 volunteers who get firstdibs on produce.

Daughters Amanda Anderson and Rebecca Ehlkestill work long and hard at the farm and market. Thesedays, they are picking squash and creating autumn dis-plays that are different every year. This year visitorswill find a pumpkin maze. Ehlke, an artist who handpaints all of the charming signs, plays a key role in thisautumn showcase.

“Our form of art out here are our displays,” said Terri.If Amanda is there when you choose your squash, she

may share recipes that are “easy, convenient andwholesome.” All of her original recipes are posted ontheir website.

Valley Veggies is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays-Sat-urdays and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays May to Novemberweather permitting. Visit www.ValleyVeggiesMN.com tolearn more and view the list of vegetables currentlyavailable. ❖
