Aronia berries are an expandingcrop across the Midwest, thanksto the numerous health benefitsits growers swear uponStory on Page 5A

Dave Vander Werf (left)and Orlan Gulker loadbaskets of Aronia berriesnear Sioux Center, Iowa.

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 for agreat cover.

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 Agricultural

and Environmental Bill which he wason, Sen. Marty made a motion to takeout the provision eliminating the Citi-

zens’ Board. Sen. Hoffman voted for it. One moreSenate vote was needed but Sen. Sparks did not votefor it. If he had, that provision would have come outin Conference Committee during the regular 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 concurleading to the bill passing with this bad provisionincluded.

As a committee chair and conference committeemember, Sen. Sparks had a chance to keep this frompassing. His voting record indicates that he fullysupported this provision. I hope that Sen. Sparksplays an active role in seeing the MPCA Citizens’Board restored.Brad TromBlooming Prairie, Minn.

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. 11 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.

By car, Quebec City, Quebec, is 1,840miles from Bismarck, N.D. I knowbecause in the last two months I haveseen every mile of highway betweenNorth Dakota’s state capital on the

Missouri to Quebec’s provincial capitalon the St. Lawrence.

Interestingly, as you drive west toeast across arguably some of the NewWorld’s richest farm ground, cultural

ties to the Old World go inthe opposite direction: fromNorth Dakota’s Russian her-itage to Quebec’s devotion toFrance.

One feature that neverseems to change across thenearly 2,000 miles, however,is the crop mix. Outside ofdriving through major citieslike Minneapolis, Chicago,Toronto, and Montreal, youare never more than a fewmiles from endless acresof corn and soybeans.

In this vast corn-soya sea,of course, there are islands of springwheat in North Dakota, sugar beets inthe Red River Valley, and alfalfa inWisconsin. These areas, however, aresmall and getting smaller. For example,durum wheat acres in North Dakotahave plunged from 3.3 million in 2000to an estimated 1.1 million in 2015.

The trend towardless diversity isn’tnew; the speed atwhich it is happen-ing in the UnitedStates is, however,according to just-published researchby Kansas StateUniversity, NorthDakota State Uni-versity, and theU.S. Department ofAgriculture.

This “shifting tolower rather thanto higher cropdiversity,” notes the research, “… couldhave far-reaching consequences for pro-vision of ecosystem services… as wellas food system sustainability.”

The scientists who put the reporttogether found their evidence inUSDA’s every-five-years Ag Census.Beginning with the 1978 census, theteam examined regional crop acreageacross the United States through the2012 census. The study was the firstever to “quantify crop species diversity.”

What it found, though, was lessdiversity in America’s key farmingareas, especially the Midwest. Forexample, this area “… which is home to22 percent of U.S. farms” and 23 per-cent of all U.S. farm production, “hadthe lowest crop diversity” of all Ameri-can regions.

By contrast, the region we think of asnever changing, the Mississippi RiverDelta — where cotton has been kingsince America had a king — has seen

“significantly higher cropdiversity in 2012 than1978.”

The reasons behind theseopposing changes are manyand varied. Two key factorsare huge swings in U.S. agpolicy and breakthroughcrop technology, especiallythe rise of genetically modi-fied seeds. A new, fast-grow-ing reason, however, ispotentially catastrophic, cli-

mate change.When coupled, these

seemingly small changeshave brought massive change in crop-ping patterns. For example, 1978planted wheat acres totaled 62.5 mil-lion; last year’s harvested acres were46.4 million. In 1979, the United Statesgrew 14 million acres of cotton; lastyear it grew 11 million. In 1979, U.S.farmers planted record soybean acres,71.1 million; this year they again

planted a recordamount, 85.1 mil-lion acres. Cornacres balloonedfrom 81.6 millionin 1978 to 90 mil-lion this year.

This “homoge-nization” towardcorn and soybeans— and away fromwheat, cotton, andthe lesser feed-grains — note theresearchers, limitsthe benefits of

“diversity,” or how “crops in an areacould possibly work together to resist,address and adjust to potential wide-spread crop failures, including naturalproblems such as pests and diseases,weed pressures, droughts and floodevents.”

And that’s a grave mistake because“Just like in the natural landscape,areas with high diversity tend to bemore resilient to external pressuresthan are areas with low diversity.”

We know this; in fact, we’ve alwaysknown it because every farmer’s familytree includes the same mother, MotherNature, who remains diverse, resilient,and forever in charge. We seem, how-ever, determined to forget it so we canlearn it all over again.

SIOUX CENTER, Iowa — Fall is abusy time on the farm. Farmers arecutting corn for silage, combines can beseen harvesting in soybean fields, andapples are ripe at local orchards.

At Dave Vander Werf ’s farm west ofSioux Center, he was keeping one eyeon the dark clouds in the sky andanother eye on the work the mechani-cal harvester was doing on the ripeAronia berries.

Rain would shut down harvest on his20,000 plants that were at the perfectBrix level for harvest. The plants thathad been planted in 2012 were producinga bumper crop of superb quality berries.

It is a relatively new crop to the Mid-west, but one that is gaining in popular-ity. It wasn’t that many years ago thatthe berry was unknown to Vander Werf.

“Be careful what you pray for,”advised Vander Werf. “We were lookingfor another business investment afterselling a different business. I had ideasof just being a silent partner.”

Those ideas all changed when Van-der Werf met a man who had justplanted Aronia berries. The more theyvisited the more interesting itsounded. Never a farm boy, the idea offarming appealed to Vander Werf. He

ARONIA, from pg. 5Aresearched for two years, askingmany questions of those with experi-ence in growing Aronias.

He learned Aronia berries are nativeto the United States. Lewis and Clarkmentioned them in their writings, refer-ring to them as black chokeberries. Aro-nias are a dark purple almost blackberry that grows on bushes and arepacked full of antioxidants. It is a big

industry in Europe, especially Poland.“My wife and I never really thought it

could happen,” said Vander Werf. “Landin Sioux County is just too expensive.Then this piece came up for sale. It ispoor, lighter soil, that is not so good forcorn or soybeans.But perfect for Aronias.”

ARONIA, from pg. 6ARiver on the north side where it soonflows into the Big Sioux River. A verybusy highway is its south and westborder. It is on this land that the Van-der Werfs have built their home andplanted 20 acres to the Aronia berry.

Their farm is strategically situatedfor the family’s off-farm employment.Vander Werf has a full-time job atDordt College in Sioux Center. Hiswife, Becky, teaches at Sioux CenterChristian School. Their daughterSarah is enrolled in Sioux Center Com-munity Schools. Older children Abbyand Jonathan attend Hull WesternChristian High School in nearby Hull.

Aronias added a new and differentdimension to their lives.

“This is definitely a family project,” hesaid. “We couldn’t do it without each ofus working on it. There is weeding, mow-ing and harvesting. Soon the plants willneed pruning to manage height. We allenjoy being outside working together.”Market

Vander Werf chose the Galicjanka

variety because of its reputation forripening more evenly. The bushes with-stand the cold temperatures, growingwell in zones 3-8, they grow six to eightfeet tall, spreading five to eight feet.

While 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 aharvester 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 makesa difference, he said. If it is too humid

and 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, ofwhich he is a member. NAAC is a 70-member co-op begun in 2014. Membersare from Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri,Nebraska, South Dakota, Wisconsinand Quebec, Canada.

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

The berries are sold by the NAAC.Last year the berries went to anutraceutical company where the juicewas extracted. The resulting pumice

was ground and used in pills as a vita-min supplement.

“There is evidence that supports thecancer prevention properties of the Aro-nia berry,” said Vander Werf. “People tellme how it has helped control theirarthritic pain, and it has probioticsneeded for a healthy digestive system.”

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 the refrig-erator for a long time before spoiling.

“There are a million bushes in theground in the Midwest area,” saidVander Werf. “Aronia has a future; it isa viable industry. There is continuedgrowth, with new growers enteringand expansion by current growers.”

To learn more about Aronia berries,you may see Dave Vander Werf as oneof the planned speakers for the GlobalAg Summit to be held at Dordt Collegein Sioux Center, March 3 and 4, 2016.Visit http://agrisummit.org fordetails. ❖

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Gov. Mark Dayton hosted aTaiwanese delegation, agricultural trade event onSept. 21. Joined by Dayton, Taiwanese trade offi-cials and business leaders signed letters of intent topurchase billions of dollars of agricultural products

from farmers in Minnesota and other Midwesternstates over the next two years.

The Taiwanese delegation plans to purchase up to$2.49 billion of American corn and soybeans in 2016and 2017. Taiwan is Minnesota’s sixth-largest export

market, and a key trading partner for the state’scorn and soybean growers.

“Minnesota farmers produce the highest qualityagricultural products in the world,” said Dayton. “Ourtrade relations around the world, including Taiwan,are crucial to ensuring that our farmers can sell theirproducts in the global marketplace. I want to thankeveryone involved, especially the corn and soybeangrowers of Minnesota, for their efforts to promote ourstate and support strong business relationships.”

The Taiwanese delegation, led by Cheng-TaungWang, Deputy Minister of the Taiwan Council ofAgriculture, plans to purchase 197 million bushels ofU.S. corn and 500,000 metric tons of dried distillersgrains, valued at an estimated $1.23 billion. The dealalso includes the purchase of between 96 million and107 million bushels of U.S. soybeans valued at anestimated $1.26 billion.

“The U.S. remains one of Taiwan’s largest tradepartners for agricultural products, regularly supply-ing one-fourth of the island’s total food importneeds,” said Wang. “This visit will help to further-strengthen our bilateral trade relations.”

In January 2013, Minnesota Agriculture Commis-sioner Dave Frederickson led a trade mission to Tai-wan and personally extended an invitation to Tai-wanese trade officials to visit Minnesota and signletters of intent to purchase corn and soybeans. Thedelegation’s visit sustains this strong trade relation-ship, between these countries.

This article was submitted by the Office of Gov.Mark Dayton and Lt. Gov. Tina Smith. ❖

Taiwan to buy corn, beans from Midwest farmers

Minnesota Corn hosts farm visitNothing builds trust in Minnesota agricul-

ture like seeing a real Minnesota farm inaction.

The delegation from Taiwan visited the fam-ily farm of Roger Toquam near BloomingPrairie. Toquam is a fourth generation corn,soybean and hog farmer.

The visit, coordinated by the Minnesota CornGrowers Association, was an opportunity tohelp the Tiawanese develop a better under-standing of Minnesota agriculture and the careMinnesota farmers take in growing food, feed,fiber and fuel for an increasing world popula-tion.

“It was a great group with a lot of questions,”Toquam said. “it’s a good thing to have groupslike this on Minnesota farms.

At Toquam’s farm, the delegation asked ques-tions about planting, the upcoming harvest, fer-tilizer use and how the quality of the crop ismaintained during harvest and transportation.

Toqam and his family also led a walking tourof the farm and highlighted the many conserva-tion practices they employ. There was even timefor members of the delegation to take selfies inToquam’s corn and soybean fields.

DOON, Iowa — Mark and Nancy Kooima like togrow pumpkins, and people like to come out to thefarm, relax in the sunshine and fresh air, and enjoyfall weather — when it’s actually enjoyable. That’show the Kooimas began their pumpkin business.

“Five years ago, fall had only four sunshiny days;the rest were overcast, or overcast with rain,” saidMark. “We had been selling pumpkins from a flatbedfor three years. That year the dreary weatherhatched this idea of building a shed.”

With the shed, the Kooimas now had a permanentplace to continue vending vegetables beginning inSeptember and expand their pumpkins and squashvarieties to 2.5 acres of land and start a corn maze. Italso gave their business a name: Pumpkins onGarfield, which reflects their location on GarfieldAvenue, three miles south of Doon.

The Kooimas harvest all the pumpkins them-selves, bringing them into the shed. Hay and strawbales make the perfect backdrop for the many colorsof fall. Customers like to browse around the bright,

airy shed looking for the right pumpkins.There are many choices in color, shapes and types.

Peanut shells and knucklehead pumpkins are con-versation starters, and popular. Broom corn, orna-mental corn in many different colors and sizes makeselection difficult, but fun.

One of the most beloved items in the shed is the1953 Chevy pickup. Families enjoy taking picturesaround it. The pickup at one time belonged to Mark’sbrother’s father-in-law. He used it to haul feed to hiscustomers in Renville, Minn. After his death, thepickup moved to Iowa. The pumpkin shed seems tobe its permanent home now.

“I can’t get it started,” said Mark. “And I am notsure I want to as, if I remember right, the last timeI drove it the brakes didn’t work.”

The Kooimas have learned that many groupswant to enjoy a meal together on the picnic tablesoutdoors. They would bring taverns (or sloppy joe),chips and pop. This year, the Kooimas finished asmall indoor kitchen complete with counter spaceand electrical outlets for crock pots to meet theircustomers’ needs.Corn maze

The corn maze was added several years ago. Thisseason’s design is a combine harvesting corn.Kooima uses a GPS, map and mower to lay out themaze when the corn is about knee high. It needscutting twice, then is mowed several times through-out the summer, when the sunshine and rain pro-vide the right environment for weeds to grow.

The maze has 10 stations where the maze enthu-siasts obtain a punch on a card for locating eachstation. For an additional challenge, the Kooimas

GARFIELD, from pg. 9Ainclude 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 nightwhen 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 freez-ing apple pies and making saucesjes, the Dutch formof pigs in a blanket. The seasoned sausages arewrapped in a blanket of dough. Both are soldunbaked and frozen. Occasionally she does havebaked treats available. Jams, salsas and othercanned items from a commercial kitchen can be pur-chased.

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 germi-nation. Animals might dig up the seed to eat, orinsects may attack the new seedling. Often times

there is some replanting; that was not the case thisyear.

“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 insectpressure or plant diseases. Before 2012 corn root-worm beetles were a menace. They destroy the cropby chewing up the leaves and even eating the skin ofpumpkins.

“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 ofthe pumpkin field. They did draw bees and other pol-linators. It appears that once the sunflower blossomis finished the bees are looking for something new.They locate the pumpkin blossoms and get right towork.

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. ❖

Fill your car with treasuresNancy is often asked how to prepare a pumpkin forbaking. She offers this advice:1. Wash the pumpkin before cutting in half.2. Clean out the seeds and pulp.3. Place cut side down on baking pan with a tad bit of water.4. Bake at 350 F until tender, a fork easily pierces the skin.5. Remove the cooked pumpkin.6. Puree.7. Use immediately or freeze in two-cup amounts for later use.


Pumpkins abound, and jams and salsas from a licensed kitchen are taste pleasers at Pumpkins on Garfield.

Experts don’t know if highly path-ogenic avian influenza will be backthis fall, but the Minnesota Boardof Animal Health and Minnesotapoultry farmers are preparedshould the deadly virus return.

Bill Hartmann, BAH executivedirector and state veterinarian, has set a goal of 24to 48 hours to depopulate barns once the virus isdetected. In the spring, some barns were not depopu-lated for four to five days.

“The main thing is making sure we depopulate theflocks in 24 to 48 hours. That’s so crucial in stoppingthe production of this virus,” said Hartmann. “If thevirus is allowed to spread within the barn then therebecomes more virus in the environment. The air canbe exhausted from the barn through the fans andoutside.”

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 tough tokeep up with the depopulation process,” said Olson.

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

The late winter and spring avianinfluenza outbreak claimed over 9million birds across 108 farms and23 counties in Minnesota. Kandiy-ohi County reported 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 weredeployed for three-week details.

“Some people experienced as many as eight to 10case 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. Paullab to handle avian flu testing. The poultry-testinglab in Willmar will be expanded and is expected to becompleted 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.

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey issued astatement following the release of the federal plan.

“The USDA’s plan reinforces the efforts by ourdepartment and the poultry industry to focus onincreased surveillance for the disease and strength-ened biosecurity on farms,” said Northey.

“Preventing the disease through biosecurity andfinding it quickly if it does apper is critically impor-tant to preventing the spread we saw earlier thisyear. All partners are also committed to respondingquickly if a case does appear to deopopulate andlimit the amount of virus created.”

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 the

The Nuhn Lagoon Crawler is an amphibious vehicle

designed for agitating lagoons.

The wheels are able to drop down, giving the vehicle roughly 5 feet

of ground clearance. The unit then drives itself into a lagoon,

where it turns into an agitation boat.

When in the lagoon, the Lagoon Crawler is powered by a quad port, Nuhn

Header Series manure pump. 10000+GPM volumes are used to maneuver

the pontoon through the lagoon and agitate the solids from the bottom.

The Nuhn Lagoon Crawler does not need a priming system.

Once the lagoon is emptied, the four wheels are lowered and the

machine is able to drive itself out of the lagoon.

AVIAN FLU, from pg. 12Avaccine is used, it would likely be in astrategic manner such as within a con-trol area around an affected site. Usemust be approved by the USDA andstate.

“There’s a reluctance to use it, but ifit’s necessary to prevent outbreak itwould be considered,” said Hartmann.Recovery

Restocking of barns is nearly com-plete. At least 87 farms have beenrestocked or have a restocking agree-ment in place as of Sept. 21. The moodof turkey growers is a combination ofoptimism and apprehension.

“Optimism comes from getting backinto the business of raising birds oreggs,” said Olson. “There’s apprehensionbecause there’s a lot to learn about thisvirus, what it’s going to be like this fall.”

Biosecurity reviews are being con-ducted by veterinarians once barns arerestocked.

“The whole intent is to provide edu-cation to growers on the virus itselfand have a discussion on biosecurity,”said Olson. “The information we learnwill be available to everybody.”

Many growers have tightened bio-security this summer. They are proof-ing buildings against wild birds androdents and installing breezeways andcorridors to reduce outside contact.

Several are installing Danish EntrySystems, which is an entryway whereworkers take off boots and coverallsand replace with an indoor set of cover-alls and boots, explained Olson.

Some growers are dedicating equip-ment to each building if possible orimplementing systems to clean equip-ment. Others have limited the numberof times people and equipment go intoa barn.

“If we can keep the virus out of thebarns, we will win,” said Hartmann.

One grower testified to the Min-nesota Legislature that he is investingin automatic nests which have beddingbuilt into it, thus reducing the need tobring in bedding, said Olson.Economic impact

The economic impact of avian flu inlost turkey and egg production andprocessing has cost Minnesota’s econ-omy an estimated $647.2 million. Thisincludes $171.7 million of lost wages,salaries and benefits. Avian flu hasalso affected 2,500 jobs in some way.

The figures include losses of currentbirds and account for the downtimebefore restocking, as well as the time ittakes to bring layers up to full produc-tion of eggs.

These numbers were crunched byBrigid Tuck, University of MinnesotaExtension senior economic impact ana-lyst, who produced a report on the eco-nomic impact of the avian flu crisis inMay and an update in July.

“The takeaway is how devastating itwas for our producers and just howquickly we can have severe disruptionsin our economy,” she said.

Wholesale trade, trucking and grainfarming are among the top 10 indus-tries affected by avian flu. In the com-ing weeks, Tuck will be talking to eco-nomic developers to see how therecovery is going.

As for Thanksgiving, many turkeyswere frozen and put into cold storagein January and some growers will haveadditional flocks ready for the holiday.

“There should be plenty of turkeysavailable for Thanksgiving,” saidOlson.

Prices should be low as turkeys are aloss leader for grocery stores and Olsonexpects the same trend this year.Waterfowls

One way to better understand thevirus is wild bird surveillance.

Minnesota Department of NaturalResources has collected 4,000 avian flusamples. A chickadee in RamseyCounty and a Cooper’s hawk from Yel-low Medicine County are the only wildbirds to test positive for HPAI.

According to the DNR website,researchers plan to conduct expandedsurveillance this fall by testing ducksand geese in banding operations andsampling hunter-harvested waterfowl.

This summer, DNR researchers col-laborated in a blood sample researchproject looking for avian flu antibodiesin birds from a number of sites acrossNorth America. ❖

Bumper crops of corn andsoybean are putting both Min-nesota and Iowa at record-breaking levels for productionand yields, according to theSept. 11 Crop Productionreport from the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture NationalAgricultural Statistics Service.

Iowa and Minnesota agronomistsagreed that a stretch of warmweather starting the week of Sept. 14should finish off the crops nicely, bothin reaching maturity and corn drydown. Some corn had already reachedmaturity by that time.

Paul Kassel is a field agronomist forIowa State University Extension andOutreach. His region is north centralIowa and covers Dickinson, Emmet,Kossuth, Winnebago, Clay, Palo Alto,Hancock, Buena Vista, Pocahontasand Sac counties.

“For the most part, the crop has notsuffered at all this summer. Everyacre will be productive and we havegood yield potential because we weretimely and stress-free all summer,”Kassel said.

In addition, an early frost is notexpected. Last year, the growing sea-son ended with the frost on Sept. 14,reported the University of Minnesota

Southern Research and Outreach Cen-ter in Waseca.

In fact, the weekly weather reportfrom Sept. 10-16 from the SROC notedthat dry, warm and breezy conditionsaided crop drying. In trials, corn of 85-to 89-day maturity that was maturedropped eight points in moisture downto 21 to 25 percent. Soybean fieldswere nearing harvest.Corn

Minnesota corn production is fore-cast at 1.42 billion bushels, whichwould be the highest on record andthree percent above the previous highof 2012. If realized the yield will alsobe the highest on record at 183 bushelsper acre.

Jeffrey Coulter, University of Min-nesota Extension agronomist, special-izes in corn production and profitability.

“The biggest thing coming out of theyield report is that it’s one of the bestyears of all time in Minnesota,” saidCoulter.

Mother Nature played a starringrole.

“We’ve had fairly good soil moisturelevels with regards to timely precipita-tion,” said Coulter. “The temps havebeen on the cooler side which has lim-ited moisture use by the crop and lim-

ited stress on dry areas.”He added that nitrogen supply and

use was good as were conditions dur-ing pollination. Field conditions arefavorable for a timely harvest.

“It looks like there will be plenty oftime to get the work done,” said Coul-ter.

Iowa corn production is forecast at2.41 billion bushels, which if realizedwould tie 2009 for the highest onrecord. Yields are expected to average181 bu./acre and if realized will tie

In north central Iowa, reports of silage yield so farhave been good said Kassel of ISU Extension.

Planting was timely, no big rains caused drown-outs and crop development was good, said Kassel.

“The next thing to worry about is field dry downfor the corn crop. Since we are maturing a littleearly, that will help that too,” he said.Soybeans

Minnesota soybean production isforecast at 358 million bushels, whichif realized would surpass the previoushigh from 2010. The yield forecast is47 bushels per acre to surpass the2005 high of 45.5 bu./acre.

Seth Naeve, University of MinnesotaExtension soybean agronomist, hasbeen predicting a record yield all sea-son. A month ago, Naeve said hethought Minnesota would see 50bu./acre.

“Toward the end here, things arelooking a little bit ragged,” said Naeve.“I have come back off 50 bushels. Ithink something a little more realisticis much 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 groundgot hurt by iron chlorosis and soybean cyst nema-tode. Moving north, soybeans got dinged by droughtsin August.

“Usually we manage aphids really well,” saidNaeve. “This year they kind of hung on and we hadlate season infestation after farms quit scouting andthose 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 53

bu./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. The weekly Crop Progress and Condi-tion report is on page 21A. ❖

ST. PETER, Minn. — A self-drivingrobot may be one of the next toolsfarmers use to increase productivityand help water quality.

The Rowbot, just 22 inches wide, fitsbetween rows of corn, sowing rye grassand clover during a demonstration.

The grasses and clover are covercrops that reduce soil erosion. Theteam that designed the Rowbot envi-sions the potential to sow crops forbiodiesel and to fertilize crops insmaller, targeted amounts.

“We are driven by a triple win-win,”CEO Kent Cavender-Bares said. “Wecan save farmers money by reducingthe amount of nitrogen resources theyneed, increase the yield by using thesame resources and help farmers bebetter stewards of the land. It’s alldriven by stewardship.”

The rowbot uses sensors to staybetween the rows of corn and is pow-ered by diesel. It can spread seed ornitrogen fertilizer over four rows atonce. The idea is to use docking sta-tions to refill seed or fertilizer into oneor several Rowbots at work.

Rowbot Systems is three years old andCavender-Bares and Chris Reedy, vicepresident of business development,showed off its abilities, in part, to findfarmers to participate in trials over thou-sands of planted corn acres next year.

“We like the idea of using cover crops,so that part of the solution is for farm-ers to farm more,” Reedy said.

The demonstration was part of a fieldday organized by the Seven Mile CreekWatershed Partnership along CountyRoad 13 on Sept. 11. During the fieldday, about 30 farmers and other partic-ipants saw new methods of controlleddrainage and a woodchip bioreactor.

“The purpose of these types of events isto expose farmers in the watershed to thenewest and best for their farm opera-tions and to improve water quality at thesame time,” said Karen Galles, SevenMile Creek Watershed coordinator.

A new controlled drainage system wasinstalled on Chuck Peters’ land, similarto a terrace that helps stop erosion.

“We want to leave the land as good aswe can and if there are ways to reducedamage to the environment, we’regoing to try them,” Peters said.

The level of water held back in a field

can be adjusted based on crops or con-ditions. Galles said that drainage sys-tems are set up to get the water downto four feet below the surface, whichallows farmers dry and easy access.

“The rest of the time, it can be advan-tageous to hold water,” she said.

And with this system, farmers couldkeep the moisture in the fields.

The third method was a woodchipbioreactor to take nitrates out of thewater coming out of agricultural fields.The bioreactor is being built in a fieldnext to County Road 13 in a projectmanaged by Mark Origer at I&S Group.

Now, it’s just a long, deep pit with aplastic liner. It has the pipes to control

Chuck Brandel, senior civil engineer with I&SGroup, said the near future is a prime time toimprove a lot of drainage systems in the region.

“A lot of tile systems are being redone with theinfrastructure being about 100 years old,” he said.“This is a big opportunity. It could be incorporated ina lot of systems in southern Minnesota.”

The outdoor wood burning furnace marketis dictated by the Environmental ProtectionAgency. For the past decade, this expandingindustry, through voluntary collaborationamong manufacturers, has designed andbuilt their outdoor furnaces to the satisfac-tion of their customers.

While quality and emission issues wereguiding the industry, the EPA decided new stan-dards were needed to better regulate and control airquality issues.

Chad Bakke is director of operations of HeatmorOutdoor Furnaces of Warroad, Minn. Heatmor man-ufactures outdoor furnaces that are used to heathomes, hot water systems, shops, garages andgreenhouses. The furnace burns wood which heatswater that is then pumped underground to heathomes and outbuildings, often by hooking up to aforced air system. In-floor heating is also used.

“Voluntary standards within the industry hadworked for years, but environmentalists in somestates pressured the Federal government to estab-lish countrywide rules and regulations. So rathersuddenly EPA decided it was the logical rule maker.And that meant changes in our Heatmor units,”Bakke said.

“EPA uses a laboratory in Oregon for testing. Weintroduced two new models this fall but had to sendboth to this Oregon facility before putting these new

furnaces into the market.”Heatmor produces the conventional wood

burning outdoor furnaces but also providescoal burning units, used oil units, a pelletburning stove and even corn burning rigs.

Bakke said Heatmor furnaces have astainless steel firebox with water jacketwrapped around the firebox plus sand andfirebrick. Stainless steel provides longevity.

He indicated Heatmor has many units now 25 to30 years old and still running. A limited lifetimewarranty that is transferable should there be achange of ownership of a given furnace is also part ofthe marketing package.

The 35,000-square-foot Heatmor factory is heatedby two Heatmor 800 industrial units. And the pri-mary wood source for these northern Minnesota fur-naces are jackpine and tamarack.

Bakke points out there is significant differences inBTU content of various wood source and moisturecontent. Seasoned wood that has been cut about ayear earlier is his recommendation, but older woodobviously can work OK, too.

Because these outdoor furnaces can weigh up to aton, a concrete base pad is recommended. The Heat-mor units include an auger for cleaning the ashesfrom the firebox. Costs range from $10,000 and updepending upon the model. A new Heatmor 350 X,for example, will cost about $10,700 and will heat upto 8,000 square feet. You can have multiple hookupsfrom a single unit.

Insurance is recommended for outdoor furnaces.Your local insurance company may have rulesregarding distance between the furnace and yourresidence.

Heatmor markets through area dealers.“We’re in every state that burns wood,” said Bakke.He indicated market activity for outdoor furnaces

relates to the cost of other fuels. But Bakke is certainover the long haul an investor gets more for his buckgoing the route of wood-burning outdoor furnaces.

Mike Galusha, Heatmor dealer support/serviceand warranty, said that the outdoor furnaces arepopular with farm and rural customers because theyhave access to their own wood. Farmers find manyuses outside of the ususal home heating.

“Lots of greenhouses, turkey barns, hog facilities,even did a chicken coop. And farm shops are becom-ing quite common,” said Galusha. “The more func-tions off a given system, the quicker the payback.”

“Saving up to $400-$500 per month is common andwith additional hookups a $1,000 per month reduc-tion in your heating bill is easily doable,” said Bakke.

He said four- to five-year paybacks are the norm.He has his shop, his house and his hot water hookedup to his five-year-old unit.

Looking ahead, Bakke said research and develop-ment is a continual function with Heatmor. Forexample, Heatmor’s new EPA-qualified units areupdrafts which are easier to manage than conven-tional down draft furnaces.

“There’s more but I can’t share because this is acompetitive market,” he said.

A new product for Heatmor is gun safes. Bakkesaid they are all 3/16-inch body and up to a half-inchdoor. Fire rating is 1,200 F for 90 minutes. They arehefty, starting at 1,050 pounds. Prices start at $4,000for the gun safes which can be accessed atwww.Reedcustom.com.

With 20 years in the winemakingbusiness, Winehaven Winery in Chis-ago City, Minn., is one of the pioneersin the Minnesota wine industry whichcontinues its yearly growth.

Kyle Peterson, whose family ownsand operates Winehaven Winery,shared some history.

“This September starts our 20th sea-son. My family, prior to my time, hadbeen raising honey and fruits since the1960s. My granddad was farming andwas doing some wines mostly as ahobby because we had the naturalresources and access to the primeingredients,” he said. “People enjoyedour wines. We would give it away asgifts to our friends and family for theholidays. But it seemed wise to do wineas a business to create a value-addedproduct for things we already use.”

When Winehaven Winery opened in1995 all it had to offer was wine madefrom their own honey. The second yearthey added raspberry wine. In 1997,Winehaven had its first grape harvest

and additional wines.“We’ve always tried to be very local

in our wine offerings. Essentiallyeverything grown right here on ourown farm,” said Peterson.

“The reason we’ve maintained ourfruit and honey wines was in case wehad a bad winter and lost our grapevines we would still have something tosell,” he added.

As the business has grown, thePetersons have had to purchase some“outside” ingredients so their winesare now about 85 percent Minnesotagrown. Two California wines are nowpart of the wine listing of WinehavenWinery.

Using Minnesota-developed winterhardy varieties gives this winery andits customers a “tasting opportunity”to compare a Minnesota-grown Mar-quette, developed by the University ofMinnesota, with a California Merlot.He describes this as giving a baselineof comparison for their customers.

Peterson isn’t suggesting that hiscustomers have taste buds that can

distinguish flavor differences betweenthe two sources of wine.

“We tell our staff that it’s not about ahard sell of our Minnesota wines butrather it’s about giving people an expe-rience with Minnesota wines,” Peter-son said. “Their taste buds are going totell them their preferences.”

Like a proud parent, Peterson com-mented, “You’d be surprised how ourlocal varieties are really holding theirown against the West Coast varieties.”National market

Peterson is matter-of-fact about Min-nesota grape growers and winemakerscompeting in this national marketagainst the biggies — California, NewYork and Michigan.

“I do think our Minnesota wine busi-ness is in its infancy. My wife’s familyis from Germany, where she was born.I’ve gotten to know some of these Ger-man winemakers over the years on ourvisits to Germany. Those vineyardsstarted in the 1600s and 1700s,” hesaid. “I brought one of our bottles ofwine as gift to German winemaker. Heasked me when my winery started. I

told him 1995. He said, ‘1995,’ with aquizzical look on his face. He told methat his great-great-grandfatheralways used to say the first 100 yearsin the business are the most difficult;after that it gets much easier.”

Peterson pondered the winemaker’scomments on the way home.

“Here in Minnesota we started withsome of the French varieties in the1970s and 80s. They weren’t winterhardy so we’d take them off the trellisand bury them in the soil,” he said.“That’s how my family started grow-ing grapes in the ’90s but thankfullyour University developed winterhardy grapes and that has been oursalvation.”

In 2014, Winehaven Winery soldabout 60,000 bottles with about half ofthat volume being the honey wines andfruit wines (strawberry, rhubarb, rasp-berry) that were the original legacy ofthis fourth generation family farm.

Minnesota Farmers Union VicePresident Gary Wertish has singledout transportation as a major concernfor his organization.

“It’s a state and a federal issue,”said Wertish, who noted that whileCongress in July voted a few months’extension on the Federal Transporta-tion Bill, “That’s mostly just kicking

the can down the road without any-thing being done.”

He said people tell him that potholesin streets and highways are worsethan usual this season.

“It appears we are funding our trans-portation system with an outdatedmodel,” he said.

More funding seems the only logicalkickstart to upgrading our transporta-

tion structure.“The problem anymore is the

continuous gridlock in Con-gress,” said Wertish. “It seemswe can’t sit down and puteverything on the table andsee what works. Partisan bick-ering seems to put the stranglehold on this Congress.”

He acknowledged the gas tax fund-ing for transportation is a user tax.

“But the reality is we continue tofund our transportation road tax sys-tem with taxes dating back to whengasoline was $1 a gallon; diesel wasperhaps $1.50,” he said. “That arith-metic just doesn’t work anymore.”

His point being that if Congress isnot willing to raise the gas tax, whichhas been at 18.4 cents for severalyears, then we simply have to figureout another way.

“We support a modest increase in gastaxes because it’s fair and there reallyis no other way to solve this growingnational dilemma,” Wertish said. “Min-nesota has a formula for distributionof gas tax revenues which gives a fairshare to rural areas despite the lesserpopulations.”

Wertish again criticizes the lack ofaction in Washington, D.C.

“They really haven’t done anythingsince President Eisenhower signed thebill that launched our Federal Inter-state System,” he said.Property taxes

At the state level he said a rewritingof the property tax rules for rural Min-nesota is a high priority.

“Right now landowners carry anunfair burden of the costs of education.We’re struggling to keep small busi-nesses going in outstate areas,” hesaid. “Land has value so it seems thatis the quick and easy source of addi-tional tax revenue for local school dis-tricts. The state needs to pick up itsshare so that landowners are notoverly burdened.”Water quality

Water quality issues continue to be amajor topic for all. Wertish dismissesthe question if there ever will be com-mon sense across the board so thatfairness is transparent to any and all.

“We did come together on the bufferbill thanks to lots of collaborationamongst many farm and conservationgroups. Establishing accurate map-ping for these hundreds of miles ofdrainage ditches and meanderingstreams will be an ongoing hassle,” hesaid.

“The 16-and-a-half foot stripfor drainage ditches has beenin the books for some years.Most farmers are aware of it.But enforcement has becomesuch a challenge and with allthe redeterminations under-way, it likely will take consid-erable time before this is com-pleted. But we’ve speeded the

process. Time will tell if solutions andimprovements are forthcoming.

“Complaints will continue regardlessthe wording of the law. Unfortunatelycourts will be the final determiner onsome of these water issues.”

Wertish is very complimentary aboutthe land stewardship work being doneby most farmers, which can be seen intheir farming practices.

“We’ve changed how we till our soils,when and how we apply fertilizer andpesticides, even harvesting patterns tominimize soil packing,” he said. “Withlivestock farmers, there’s more strat-egy about when and where to applymanure.”

He notes one thing happening thatpresents new challenges — more bigweather events with exceptional rain-fall and longer periods of intense windleading to more soil erosion.

“It’s pretty hard to stop erosion whenyou get a six-inch downpour. Naturalsloughing of stream banks alwayskeeps happening,” he said. “These sud-den and intense thunder storms sim-ply accelerate that action.”Harvest

Wertish said he is encouraged by themostly positive comments by farmersabout the 2015 season.

Wertish acknowledged net farmincome will be down for all. But proba-bly less for the grains farmers thanoriginally projected with corn pricessomewhat strengthening, even in theface of record yields.

“The good yield prospects have some-what taken the edge off the low pricepain many were visualizing. A farmerthis morning told me he thinks he’llhave whole-farm yields of 200-plusbushels per acre on his corn crop yethe’ll still be losing money,” he said. “Soit varies from farmer to farmer.”

Wertish farms in Renville County.Like most farmers he admits his com-bine monitor tweaks the 250-bushelyield occasionally and this year thatshould happen more often.

Minnesota farmers took advantage of an average5.3 days suitable for fieldwork for the week endingSept. 20, with crop harvest progressing well ahead oflast year for most crops, according to U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statis-tics Service.

Harvest advanced for dry edible beans, corn forsilage, potatoes, and sugarbeets; and started for cornfor grain and soybeans. Farmers also harvestedsweet corn.

Topsoil moisture supplies were rated two percentvery short, 11 percent short, 83 percent adequate,and four percent surplus. Subsoil moisture supplieswere rated two percent very short, 12 percent short,83 percent adequate, and three percent surplus.

As for Minnesota’s corn acreage, 41 percent wasmature, seven days ahead of last year but equal tothe five-year average. Corn condition rated 88 per-cent good to excellent. Regarding the state’s corn forsilage crop, 30 percent was harvested during theweek, reaching 67 percent.

In soybean acreage, 72 percent was droppingleaves or beyond, eight days ahead of last year andfive days ahead of normal. Soybean harvest reached12 percent. Soybean condition rated 78 percent goodto excellent.

Dry edible bean fields were 77 percent harvested,only the third time in 20 years that three-quarters ofthe crop has been harvested by this date. As for thepotato crop, 50 percent has been harvested.

Regarding the sugarbeet crop, 15 percent has beenlifted, the most harvested by this date during thelast 50 years. Sugarbeet condition rated 85 percentgood to excellent. Sunflower condition rated 58 per-cent good to excellent.

A windy, warm, and mostly dry week in Iowa aidedcrop maturity for the week ending Sept. 20, accord-ing to the USDA, National Agricultural StatisticsService. Statewide there were 4.8 days suitable forfieldwork. Fieldwork for the week included harvest-ing seed corn, chopping silage, cutting hay, andreports of scattered corn for grain and soybean har-vest.

Farmers were also preparing farm equipment forthe upcoming harvest. Reports indicated seed cornharvest was wrapping up, and corn harvested forgrain has had widely varying moisture content.

Topsoil moisture levels rated zero percent veryshort, three percent short, 86 percent adequate and11 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels ratedzero percent very short, six percent short, 82 percentadequate and 12 percent surplus.

The corn crop is at 95 percent dent stage orbeyond, with 49 percent mature, five days ahead oflast year, but five days behind the five-year average.Corn condition rated 79 percent good to excellent.

Regarding soybeans, 83 percent were starting toturn color or beyond, while 48 percent of soybeans

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 begin-ning stocks the market seems tohave moved off of the August con-tract lows in December 2015 cornfutures.

You may have heard latelyabout technical analysis which is:reading commodity charts, identi-fying chart formations, and analyzing what tradingvolumes mean. The other more commonly knownmarket analysis approach uses fundamental analy-sis, which takes supply and demand factors intoaccount. Fundamental analysis is much easier formany to understand because supply and demand hasan influence on anything and everything that is ofvalue 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 in

Grain OutlookCorn ends

on soft noteThe following market analysis is for the week end-

ing Sept. 18.CORN — Corn jumped higher to start the week in

a continuation upswing from the September cropreport. The euphoria proved to be short-lived as cornretreated for four consecutivedays to end the week on a softnote. For the week, Decembercorn fell 9 3⁄4 cents to close at$3.77 1⁄4 per bushel. The Julycontract dropped 8 1⁄4 cents tosettle at $4.01 3⁄4 per bushel.

Expansion of harvest progresswas a factor in the decline, evenas some early yield reports wereless than expected. Steady cropconditions as of Sept. 13 at 68percent good/excellent was aslight surprise when seasonallywe begin to see conditionsdecline as the crop matures. As of Sept. 13, 35 per-cent of the crop was mature, just under the 40 per-cent average. Harvest was five percent completecompared to nine percent on average.

The release of the Farm Service Agency acreagereport was a bit of a snafu. The data was released,then it was discovered the numbers were last year’s.The correct numbers were then published. Cornacres entered into government programs werereported at 84.3 million acres, up 1.2 million acresfrom the August initial report. Prevented plantacres for corn were increased 51,000 acres to 2.35million acres. The U.S. Department of Agriculturereported planted corn acres on the September reportat 88.9 million acres. While there is a distinct differ-ence in the FSA and USDA acreage numbers, back

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 not seemto go down while the hogs werealways in a downward drift. Thismonth has started with a differ-ent venue. As hogs are still drift-ing lower, the cattle market isnow experiencing real downwardpressure 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.

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

NYSTROM, from pg. 22Ain 2014 there was an approximatelyfour-million-acre difference. Plantedacres on the October USDA report may be reduced,but it doesn’t mean the numbers have to match. Didthe report add anything to the market? Probably not.

The Federal Reserve met this past week anddecided to keep interest rates unchanged for thetime being. Initially, this was viewed as supportive toagricultural markets; however, upon review, one rea-son they weren’t raised was because global demandconcerns continue to be a dark cloud over economies.The Federal Reserve also wants to see moreimprovement in the U.S. labor market and be “rea-sonably confident” that inflation will increase beforeraising rates. They meet again in October andDecember.

Informa Economics refreshed their 2014-15 and2015-16 balance sheets this week after the FSAinformation was made available. The highlights onthe 2014-15 crop include a cut in non-ethanol usageto raise 2014-15 ending stocks to 1.747 billionbushels compared to the USDA’s 1.732 billion bushelcarryout. On the 2015-16 supply/demand forecast,they lowered 2015 planted acreage by 500,000 acresto 88.4 million acres versus USDA’s 88.9 million onthe September report, due to the new FSA numbers.They left the yield outlook at 167.5 bushels per acre.Informa’s carryout for 2015-16 is 1.590 billionbushels, in line with the UDSA’s 1.592 billion bushelprojection on the September report. However, mostexpect the USDA to lower the corn yield on the Octo-ber Supply/Demand report.

Looking ahead to the 2016 crop, Informa Econom-ics predicts planted corn acreage will increase to90.7 million acres, up 2.3 million acres from thisyear. Using a trendline-type yield of 168.9 bu./acre,they are forecasting 2016-17 carryout near 1.8 bil-lion bushels. Their average futures price outlook for2016-17 is $3.65 per bushel, down 30 cents fromInforma’s $3.95 futures 2015-16 price forecast.

Weekly export sales were a measly 21 millionbushels, keeping total commitments at a 10-year low

and 28 percent behind last year. Weneed to average nearly 30 millionbushels per week to hit the USDA’s bil-

lion bushels forecast. Total export commitments onthe books for this year have to be concerning.

There was trade chatter of Brazilian corn beingsold in the U.S. Southeast market. A grain inspectorsstrike in Brazil that began Sept. 17 may slow theircorn exports if it lasts very long. Brazil’s soybeanshipments are showing a seasonal slowdown, so thestrike may affect corn shipments more than soybeanshipments.

China cut their domestic price subsidy (price grow-ers receive subsidies to put bushels in state-ownedreserves) to their growers by 10 percent as they tryto get closer to world prices. The reduction stillleaves the price at nearly $8.00 per bushel which isabout double world prices and a third higher thanthe price of milo imports. The cut isn’t expected tokeep Chinese growers from going in to the reserve orcut imports of other feed grains. One Chinese groupestimates their ethanol imports will fall 13 percentto 4.5 million metric tons this year. COFCO also saidChina’s DDG imports could fall 15 percent year-on-year in 2015-16 to 4.5 mmt. Safras raised their 2015-16 Brazilian corn production forecast by 2.7 percentyear-on-year to 88.57 mmt.

Ethanol production for the week ending Sept. 18was 961,000 barrels per day, up 3,000 barrels perday from the previous week. Ethanol stocks fell 11million gallons week-on-week to 772 million gallons,the lowest of the year.

OUTLOOK: The grower sales pattern continues tobe slow after a small surge when prices rallied onthe September crop report. The producer is expectedto fill storage this fall based on their opinion of on-farm prices. This has occurred in the past, and theresult has limited basis declines and kept futuresspreads from going as wide as you might expect. Thecaveat to this moving forward may be changes in the2015-16 balance sheet on the October report. Basislevels were softer this week, not an unexpectedevent as harvest progress spreads. While the yieldoutlook is anticipated to decrease, many question

whether the demand side can escape downwardrevisions as well, keeping carryout steady. Fundshort covering on Monday gave corn its only higherclose of the week. Funds were net sellers the bal-ance of the week and were estimated by traders tobe net short just 16,400 contracts at the end of theweek. December corn’s first support is $3.64 3⁄4,then the contract low at $4.57 1⁄2 per bushel. Resis-tance lies at $3.95 per bushel, which was the highfor the week and near the 62 percent retracementfrom the July high to the August low. If harvestyield reports improve, a new contract low may stillbe seen.

SOYBEANS — November soybeans extended thecomeback seen on the September crop report day forthe first part of the week, but the plunge on Fridayerased the gains. November soybeans settled at$8.67 1⁄4 per bushel, down seven cents for the week.July soybeans were down 1⁄4 cent for the week at$8.82 3⁄4 per bushel. Yield reports have not beendisappointing on what little has been harvested andthe September crop report was bearish. It shouldn’tbe a surprise to see a pullback in prices. As of Sept.13, 35 percent of the soybean crop was droppingleaves.

A couple of reports this week, beginning with theAugust NOPA report. The 135.3 million bushelcrush was the biggest for the month since 2007 and

Corn contract low may not have hit bottom yet

TEALE, from pg. 22Aon 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. 22Ahow this type of trading influences price fluctua-tions, it’s extremely important if we want to get abetter understanding 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 help

better identify opportunities to sell grain. Majorcommodity 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.

NYSTROM, from pg. 23Ain-line with pre-report esti-mates. The FSA’s planted andfailed soybean acreage number was 80.7 millionacres, 1.2 million acres higher than the Augustnumber. The USDA’s last planted acreage numberwas 84.3 million acres. Prevented plant acreage was2.2 million acres, slightly higher than the Augustestimate of 2.17 million acres. Post-report chattersuggested the USDA may be over-stating plantedacreage in soybeans.

Weekly export sales were 33.5 million bushels,

keeping total commitments 33 percentbehind last year. We need 22 million perweek to hit the USDA’s 1.725 billion bushels

projection. According to reports, Brazil’s soybeansare $25 per ton cheaper than U.S. origin for the Feb-ruary-March slot. This difference could test China’spatience and keep them at a hand-to-mouth pace.Safras improved their 2015-16 Brazilian productionforecast to 100.5 mmt, up 5.3 percent year-on-yearand against USDA’s last forecast for 97 mmt.

In the coming week, China will make its annualtrade mission visit to the United States. During this

visit, they are expected to enter into the usual “frame”contract for soybeans. The non-binding agreementdoes not include price or specific delivery periods,rather it indicates what China will buy from theUnited States during the year. China’s purchases of2015-16 U.S. soybeans are 53 percent behind last year.This week, the USDA announced sales totaling496,500 metric tons of beans to China in their dailyreports. Taiwan signed letters of intent to buy $3 bil-lion worth of U.S. corn and corn by-products, soybeansand wheat by 2017 this past week. The agreement isnot binding and is considered a political gesture.

OUTLOOK: The sizeable loss to end the week setsthe market up for a test of the contract low at $8.531⁄4 per bushel. Soybean basis levels in general weremixed. Soybeans are the one commodity that theUnited States is competitive on the global stage.However, with a huge soybean crop ready to make itsway into the market channel, the bias is for lowerbasis numbers as the harvest pace accelerates.Funds were thought to be short 52,400 soybean con-tracts as of the close on Sept. 18. Their short positionmay increase if yield reports continue to be asexpected or better. Weather outlooks promote aspeedy harvest forecast. The next big report will beSept. 30 with the release of the Grain Stocks as ofSept. 1 report.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week end-ing Sept. 18: December Chicago wheat closed 1 3⁄4cents higher, Minneapolis fell 1⁄2 cent and KansasCity was unchanged. October crude oil was a nickelhigher, ultra-low-sulfur diesel plunged nearly sixcents lower, reformulated blendstock for oxygenateblending lost about 1 1⁄2 cents, and natural gasdropped 8 3⁄4 cents. ❖

This column was writtenfor the marketing week end-ing Sept. 18.

The National Milk Produc-ers Federation has askedU.S. Agriculture SecretaryTom Vilsack for an addi-tional two months for dairyproducers to decide theirrisk management optionsunder the new Margin Pro-tection Program.

NMPF said that “Theupcoming Sept. 30 dead-line to enroll in the MPPfor 2016 coincides with thefall harvest in many parts of the nation,as well as with the ARC/PLC enroll-ment deadline. Dairy farmers wouldbenefit from additional time to weightheir options for utilizing both crop

insurance and the MPP.”The U.S. Department of

Agriculture granted twosign-up extensions last yearfor farmers electing cover-age under the MPP, whichresulted in a last-minutesurge of participation forcalendar year 2015. Thoseextensions “greatly helpedto boost enrollment whilenot complicating the admin-

istrative workload ofcounty USDA offices.We believe a similar

extension this year, untillate November, will likewise enhanceparticipation in the MPP,” wrote NMPFPresident and CEO Jim Mulhern.

Milk production for most of the

United States continues the trendlower, primarily due to hot and/orhumid weather, according to DairyMarket News. Exceptions can be seenin Utah, Idaho, New Mexico, and theSoutheast, where cooler temperaturesare adding to milk output. Fluiddemand is active as bottling plants fillschool and university pipelines andNorthwest bottlers note an increase indemand for whole milk.

Speaking of fluid demand; DairyMarket News reports July packagedfluid milk sales totaled 3.92 billionpounds, down just 0.3 percent fromJuly 2014. Sales of conventional prod-ucts totaled 3.7 billion pounds, down0.2 percent from a year ago; organicproducts, at 202 million pounds, weredown 1.6 percent. Organic representedabout 5.2 percent of total fluid sales forthe month.

Looking at the January to Julyperiod, total packaged fluid sales, at28.5 billion pounds, were down 1.6percent from a year ago. July wholemilk sales limited the overall drop influid sales, totaling 1.2 million pounds,up 5.3 percent from a year ago, withyear to date sales totaling 7.9 millionpounds, up 3.6 percent.

MIELKE, from pg. 25Ain the national slaughter rate,Region 9, which includes California,Nevada, Arizona and Hawaii saw a 1,200-head (ninepercent) increase week over week to a total of14,600 head.

The year-to-date slaughter rate for these states isrunning at an estimated 10.7 percent increase com-pared to the same period last year while the Midweststates of Region 5 including Wisconsin and Michiganhave seen the year-to-date slaughter rate decline bynine percent. Kurzawski says “The inversion in theslaughter rates should be attributed to geographi-cally specific profitability, or lack thereof, in the cur-rent environment of depressed milk prices.”

■

The question on world dairy traders minds is:have global prices truly recovered or haveFonterra’s reduced offerings skewed things? Tues-day’s Global Dairy Trade auction saw the weightedaverage for all products climb for the third consecu-tive session, up 16.5 percent, following a 10.9 per-cent rise Sept. 1, and a 14.8 percent jump on Aug.18. The prior 10 events showed declines. Only oneproduct offered lost ground. Buttermilk powder wasdown 1.9 percent, after it skyrocketed 30 percent inthe last event. Leading the gains was whole milkpowder, up 20.6 percent, following a 12.1 percentjump last time.

FC Stone’s Dave Kurzawski notes that Fonterraannounced a steeper than anticipated 2-3 percentreduction in milk production for the 2015-16 season.The drop was attributed in part to increased cullingby producers seeking better financial returns from

beef sales and the potential impact ofEl Niño. Fonterra has twice reduced

its forecast offered volumes for theGDT auction for the next 12 months due to expecteddeclines in milk production and the shift away fromthe production of base milk powders.

Kurzawski also reports that EU milk collections for2015 continue to outstrip last year’s collections. TotalEU collections for July are estimated at 13.22 mil-lion metric tons, a three percent increase on thesame month last year, and seven percent ahead ofthe three year average. Cumulative milk collectionsfor the year to July stand at 89.67 million metrictons, up one percent on the same point last year.

Meanwhile Cooperatives Working Together acceptedseven requests for export assistance this week to sell315,261 pounds of cheese and 1.1 million pounds ofwhole milk powder to customers in Asia, the MiddleEast, Central and South America. The product will bedelivered through March 2016 and raised CWT’s 2015export sales to 44.1 million pounds of cheese, 19.4 mil-lion pounds of butter, and 33.8 million pounds ofwhole milk powder to 33 countries.

■

Chicago Mercantile Exchange cash cheese fell topressure as traders absorbed Tuesday’s GDT andawaited the Sept. 18 August Milk Production report.Cash block Cheddar plunged nine cents Wednesday tothe lowest level since July 20, but reversed gearsThursday and Friday, closing at $1.6925 per pound,down a quarter-cent on the week and 75.75 centsbelow a year ago when they made history, peaking at arecord high $2.45 per pound. The barrels finished theweek at $1.5425, down 4.75 cents, 88.75 cents below ayear ago, and an unsustainable 15 cents below the

blocks. Four cars of block and 27 of barrel traded handson the week.

Recent heat and humidity have reduced milk pro-duction in parts of the Midwest according to DairyMarket News. Some processors report being short afew loads of milk to run at full production. Althoughextra loads of milk are not as readily available asearlier in the summer, cheesemakers are able to buythe occasional load at about $1 over Class. Consumerdemand is strong and some cheesemakers note aslight uptick in sales since the Labor Day holiday.

Western cheese output is steady and shifting tonatural varieties. Manufacturers report milk intakesare a little lower, but components are beginning toincrease and help improve yields. Consumer demandis strong and sales are good for natural cheese. Con-tacts suggest inventories for barrels are long andseveral note a little tightness for blocks or at least awillingness by cheese producers to hold some inven-tories in advance of Fourth Quarter demand, saysDairy Market News.

Highground Dairy’s Eric Meyer said in Friday’sDairyLine it’s too early for the cheese market to fallapart as this tends to be the time of year whencheese demand is stronger while seasonal milk pro-duction comes to its low in October. He expects con-tinued price strength but he’s nervous about lateFourth Quarter when prices could set new lows forthe year as holiday demand drops off.

■

Cash butter keeps heading higher, closing Fridayat $2.7175, highest price since Oct. 10, 2014, up15.25 cents on the week but still 34.25 cents below ayear ago, when it also made history, peaking at therecord high $3.06 per pound. Twelve carloadsexchanged hands this week at the CME.

MIELKE, from pg. 26AButter production is mixed throughout the Cen-

tral region, says Dairy Market News. Churning islower in some plants as cream supplies continuetight. But, some manufacturers are producing but-ter at sufficient levels with comfortable cream sup-plies and some expect to increase production tomeet the high demand for Fourth Quarter.

Western butter makers report ade-quate cream supplies. The reductionof cream demand for ice cream andthe seasonal increase in skim milk bottling has cre-ated greater availability of cream for western buttermakers. Production is steady or increasing in manyplants. Consumer demand is strong.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk finished the week at

91 cents per pound, highest pricesince June 11, up four cents on theweek, but 44.5 cents below a year ago.

Five cars found new homes on the week.Dairy margins deteriorated sharply since the end

of August following an increase in feed costs whilemilk futures dropped to new lows, according to thelatest Margin Watch from Chicago-based Commodity& Ingredient Hedging LLC.

“Margins through First Quarter are now just abovebreakeven and close to average over a 10-year histor-ical perspective, while deferred margins in Secondand Third Quarter rest at higher historical levelsnear the 70th percentile,” reported Margin Watch.

■

USDA’s latest World Agricultural Supply andDemand Estimates report raised the 2015 milk pro-duction forecast based on a larger expected cow herdand more rapid growth in milk per cow. The 2016forecast was unchanged. Production and marketingsfor 2015 were reported at 208.9 billion pounds and207.9 billion, respectively, up 100 million poundsfrom last month’s report.

Other dreams,though, were challenging — somuch so that maybe theyhaven’t happened yet. And, as in thenew novel “The Hired Girl” by LauraAmy Schlitz, you’ll hang onto themuntil they do.

Miss Chandler knew that JoanSkraggs was special.

She never said that, exactly, but Joanknew her teacher thought so. MissChandler was always pressing newbooks into Joan’s willing hands, andthey conversed like good friends. Thatmeant the world to 14-year-old Joan. Itwas something she looked forward tovery much, until Father said she could-n’t go to school anymore, that she wasneeded on the farm.

It was 1911, Joan’s mother was dead,and Joan was the cooking-cleaning-washerwoman of the house. She barelyhad clothes to wear; her father clearlyhated her, but she didn’t know howmuch until the day he did somethingdespicable. And so, Joan ran away.

Once, Miss Chandler had accidentallygiven Joan a page of newspaper. That’swhere Joan saw help-wanted ads for aservant girl who could make $6 a weekdoing the things Joan did on the farmfor free. Being paid for her workseemed like a dream, but she didn’tknow where to start. She also didn’tknow where she would stay on her firstnight, which is how she ended up on aBaltimore park bench, sobbing.

She had so many dreams. This wasn’tthe way things were supposed to be.

She knew it wasn’t lady-like to speak

to strange menbut the one whoapproached herseemed kind.Thinking quickly,Joan changed hername to JanetLovelace, liedabout her age, andpoured out a half-

fabricated story between her tears. Andwhen the man, Solomon Rosenbach, saidhe knew of a safe place for her to go, andmaybe a job, he changed her life…

I’ll bet it took me 70 pages before Inoticed that “The Hired Girl” might bea book for young adults. That’s whereyou’ll probably find it in bookstores andlibraries, but you know what? It won’tmatter. You’ll eat this book right up.

How could you not, when this novel isled by a sassy, independent characterreminiscent of every classic literary hero-ine you’ve ever loved? Yes, that’s whatauthor Laura Amy Schlitz brings tothese pages in the form of a young girl’sdiary and vivid settings that will remindyou of Brontë and Dickinson works.

But that lusciousness of word isn’t allyou’ll find here. Schlitz also pulls argu-ments of the day into her story: anti-Irishsentiments, anti-Semitism, class wars,women’s rights, and even a bit of history.

So yes, this is a teen’s novel meantfor aged 12-and-up, but it’s one noadult should resist. If you’re looking forthe next classic novel to love, “TheHired Girl” is a dream to read.

Look for the reviewed book at a book-store or a library near you. You may alsofind the book at online book retailers.

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 where theaspirin bottle is (and some-times bottles with longnecks, holding the more pop-ular universal liquid problem solvers),and squeezing in all the have-to’s thatcome with daily living in rural Amer-ica.

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 to talkyield and moisture.

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

It was my night off from taking sup-per to the field, so since I had a littletime, I went to the grocery store. I wasgoing home right after that, so it wouldwork perfectly. I was making it count.

Driving home I spottedour neighbor combiningbeans across the road fromour place, so before I tookthe groceries home I droveinto the field and got morephoto selections for thepaper, and he invited me toride with him in the com-bine. It would only be a fewshort rounds, and I hadn’tvisited with our neighbor inquite some time.

It would be a nice time tocatch up and talk crops, family andimportant issues like stamping out toe-nail fungus once and for all.

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

garage, 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 onlya few hours away.

I’m not sure what did it, but I wokeup with a start at sunrise that nextmorning, realizing the groceries I’dpicked up that afternoon before werestill in the car. I’d forgotten all about

them in my excitement to ride my “fewrounds” in the combine with ourneighbor. They had been in the warmcar 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 abroken leg. I suppose we could be borna horse in the next life — and youknow what that means when it all hitsthe fan.

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

that one.Karen Schwaller brings “Table Talk”

Valley Veggies, west of Mankato, Minn.

Hummingbirds, bees and monarch butterflies pol-linate 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. ❖

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

& northern Iowa producersThe Pulks Wannaska, Minn.

The wheat harvest finish line is in sight for AndyPulk. When The Land spoke with him on Sept. 11he was happy to announce that “we will finishtoday.” The year’s harvest has been a slow processwith lots of starts and stops due to the weather.“It’s been an ongoing battle with moisture,” saidPulk, who noted that the good news is “quality isgood, yields are excellent.” With about 10 daysuntil they start harvesting soybeans he’s pleased

the crops “look pretty good.”The corn is at 75 percentmilk line, and the sunflowersare two weeks away fromharvest. “My goal is to try tohave all the tillage and stuffdone by deer hunting

season.” That time is closing in, as Pulk said he“did see some frost on the grass this morning.” Asfor the current crop conditions, he said he’s “veryhappy” but wishes “prices would rebound some.”

The Lees McIntosh, Minn.

Change was in the air when The Land spokewith Joan Lee on Sept. 10. She was watching thesteeple being removed from the church she andher family were once members of in McIntosh.Salem Lutheran celebrated its 125th anniversaryand then decided it was time to close the doors forgood. Saying goodbye to a beloved church is hard,she said, but with such a rich history, memories ofthe church will live on. Change is also evident in

the fields. Lee said she wouldbe “starting to chop corn nextweek,” estimating it will yieldabout 120 bushels per acre— “nothing fantastic but stillpretty good for us.” Thesoybeans are starting to turn,

and she said it will be a couple of weeks untilharvest. “It’s been a good growing season,” saidLee. “For the most part we got moisture when weneeded it. Hopefully the yields will be strong.”

The Haarstads Rothsay, Minn.

Soybean harvest is almosthere for John Haarstad and it’searlier than usual this year.“I’ll probably be harvesting bythe end of next week,” he toldThe Land on Sept. 10. The beans are “maturingahead of schedule,” said Haarstad, about twoweeks earlier than average. The corn is dryingdown, too, he added; there will be “some black

layered by the end of next week.” He says he’s“shooting for average” for corn yields this year.With little rain since early August the ground is“pretty dry now,” which has made tillage easier.“The bean crop is going to be better than we’rethinking,” said Haarstad. “Things are pretty muchready to go.”

The Filzens Renville, Minn.

The navy bean harvest was complete on theFilzen farm as of Sept. 5. When The Land spokewith Dale Filzen five days later he reported thatthe navy beans were “good quality.” The weathermade harvest a little challenging, however. “It wastough to get drying days last week with the heatand humidity.” The soybeans were still two weeksaway from being harvested which, according toFilzen, would be an average harvest date for them.

Meanwhile, “The corn isstarting to look like it’s dryingdown (and is) maturingrapidly,” he said. Untilsoybean harvest Filzen will becleaning out the bean bin,working on a corn dryer, and

checking on an auger. His prediciton for cropyields? “They’ll be good; not sure they’ll be asgood as some people thought a few months ago.”

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 weatherhelped push the beans — “the hot wind reallybrought things along faster.” Thorpe expects itwill take two week to finish bean harvest.Meanwhile, “The corn is really advancing fast; thehusks 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 harvest

weather.” Thorpe’s “favorite season of the year”has arrived, and he couldn’t be happier to get inhis combine and start rolling.

The PagelsWinthrop, Minn.

Kidney bean harvest is“about half-way done,” forDelayne Pagel. He wasfeeling good about the kidneyharvest thus far, when TheLand spoke with Pagel on Sept. 18. “I thinkthey’re doing good, yield-wise.” After kidney beanharvest he’ll focus on “getting the dryers going”and working on the combine. Pagel’s soybeans are

turning and should be ready to combine in abouttwo to three weeks. The corn may actually beatthe beans to harvest, though. “I’m thinking aboutcombining some corn before soybeans.” Pagelexpects some of his corn to be ready for harvestin a few weeks. While he is hopeful for goodyields this harvest, “I don’t know if the corn willbe as good as they say it is,” said Pagel. “Timewill 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 cornin a hurry.” He said the 100-day corn instantlystarted to dry down and husks opened up right at100 days. Although the crops are maturing, “itdoes not look good” to get in the fields soon.Once harvest begins, however, Marble will beready to go with his post-surgery wrist as he’s now“able to do just about everything.” He’s alsothinking positively about harvest: “We’re lookingat 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 combiningSept. 13. He said his cows have been enjoyingthe less-humid weather that arrived as much ashe has. The windy, hot conditions of the previousweek “really dried down” the corn. So far,

Heusinkveld’s crops areahead of schedule. “I thinkit’s going to be an early fallthe way the crops areprogressing,” 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.Such a start would make this year’s harvest righton time. “The corn looks good,” said Kemp,although he’s “a little less optimistic than I wasearlier in the summer.” He’s seeing “realvariability in ear size” and expects “a decent corn

crop, not a record corn crop.”With harvest equipment“pretty much ready to go”and the forecast for nextweek looking good, it’salmost “go-time” for Kemp.

The Froemmings Garfield, Minn.

“Things are going good nowthat we got rid of the highhumidity,” Rodney Froemmingtold The Land on Sept. 10.The break in the highhumidity that day allowed him to finish cuttingthird-crop hay. The soybeans are turning yellowand have lost most of their leaves, saidFroemming, who believes that he’ll be combining

in another week to week and a half. The corn “isstarting to dry back,” he said. Besides gettingready for his own bean harvest, Froemming willalso do some custom combining. Once beanharvest is complete, he plans on switching gearsimmediately and jumping into harvesting corn. Thecrops right now look “pretty good,” saidFroemming. “Overall, we’re a week ahead ofnormal.”

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,kittens, goats, llama or alpacas, a hen with babychickens, 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 avariety of jam, jellies, syrups, caramel corn, kettlecorn and, 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 at right.)

“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 winter squash.Altogether, the Huitinks have 101 different kinds ofpumpkin, squash and gourds growing on their 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 takesabout an hour to walk.

“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 school tours.Over 60 schools will come to their schoolhouse buildingto learn a bit about pumpkins. The demonstrations are

Spaghetti Squash AlfredoScoop out and discard seeds from a four-pound spaghettisquash, halved lengthwise. Prick outsides all over with a sharpknife; season insides with 1⁄4 tsp. each salt and pepper.Microwave, cut sides down, on large microwave-safe plate onhigh 10 minutes or until tender. Meanwhile, in small saucepan,heat 1 cup half-and-half and 3 Tbsp. butter to simmering onmedium-low; simmer 5 minutes or until reduced slightly, thenwhisk in 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese. With fork,scrape flesh of each squash half to separate into strands,leaving 1⁄2-inch border on sides; divide sauce among halvesand top each with 2 Tbsp. shredded mozzarella cheese. Broil 1to 2 minutes or until bubbly and browned in spots.

PUMPKINLAND, from pg. 4Bgeared for different ages. The instructor ends eachtour 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 har-vest last year washuge; much of it issold there on-site.

Local businessesoften plan outings fortheir employees’ fam-ilies. A trip to Pump-kinland is also a pop-ular event for churchyouth groups andBible Studies. Theycan use the school-house or one of twofire pits the Huitinks have available.

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

sunset; you never see that in town,’ they will add,” saidDave. “Perhaps there are things about farm life wetake for granted. Our visitors remind us of those.” ❖
