The frost is leaving the ground, thesnow is melting (again?) from the land-scape, and farmers are gearing up foranother growing season.

Successful farmers use the too-shortwinter lull preparing detailed plans ofagricultural attack, despite knowingthere’s a good chance those plans will bethrown right out the tractor cab windowupon the whims of Mother Nature.

But the potential — the “what if?” — ofswift sowing of seeds, of great greenfields, of carts filled with golden grain isnearly irresistable.

It’s a story that’s been going on forthousands of years, and it continues to this very day.

Is it your story?The Land invites you to share it with us as part of

our 2015 “From the Fields” series. Every year, fromspring planting through fall harvest, we keep intouch with farmers from all corners of our reader-ship area to follow their ups and downs and howthey’re dealing with ol’ Mother Nature.

Last season The Land correspondent Kristin Kveno

followed the stories of four gentlemen: JaredThronson, a corn, soybean and wheat pro-ducer from Gary, Minn.; Dennis Wilts, a corn,soybean, wheat and sugar beet grower fromHerman, Minn.; Don Hoffman, dairy cattle,corn, soybean and alfalfa producer from NewUlm, Minn.; and Jim Hagen, a corn and soy-bean grower from Lake Mills, Iowa.

For 2015 we’ll be expanding the numberof farmers we follow, while making eachreport more of a “quick hit” so that Kvenodoesn’t take up too much of anyone’s timeon the phone — she knows full well how

busy y’all are.All you need to be a “From the Fields”

farmer is, well, to be a farmer. Big or lit-tle, conventional or organic, grain or livestock, maleor female — The Land serves you all, and we wantyou to share your story with our good readers.

Don’t be shy, and don’t wait. Drop me an e-mail atthe address below or call us at (800) 657-4665 rightaway to share some basic information about you andyour farming operation, and we’ll be in touch!

Wanted: Your farming story

Here’s what everybody knows aboutPaul Krugman: The openly partisan,twice-weekly columnist for The New YorkTimes won the 2008 Nobel Memorial Prizein Economic Sciences.

Here’s what hardly anyone knows aboutPaul Krugman: The fiercely liberal Demo-crat and an unrepentant Keynesian is anavowed supporter of free trade.

No way, right? Oh yeah, way.In fact, some of Krugman’s most biting

commentary has been aimed at “publicintellectuals” who “somehow find this par-ticular idea impossible to grasp.”

To him, opponents of free trade choose to remainignorant of its irrefutable truth because they “refuseto sit still for the 10 minutes it takes to explainRicardo,” the political economist David Ricardo, aBritish contemporary of Adam Smith, who developedfree trade’s core theory, comparative advantage.

It’s a classic Krugman put-down because, of course,

all economists studied Ricardo and com-parative advantage; to him they justmight be too dense to get it. One, DavidHenderson, however, probably explainedit better than Krugman or Ricardo everdid when writing a tribute to Krugman onhis 2008 Nobel award.

“For example,” explained Henderson,“though you can rake leaves faster thanthe teenager next door, it still makessense to hire him because you have a com-parative advantage in writing softwareprograms.”

So comparative advantage — and freetrade — is simple, right? In Ricardo’s 1820s Londonit certainly was and, as Krugman has argued loudand long since the early 1990s, so it has remained.

Big Ag and almost every American farmer andrancher would agree. To them free trade is both assimple and divine as an American flag aflutter on a

GUEBERT, from pg. 2Fourth of July breeze.

Given today’s global economy, poisonous politicsand trans-national interests, however, many of BigAg’s biggest trade backers don’t see as simple ordivine. In fact, free trade’s newest star, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, may never rise (like thecomatose, 14-year-old Doha trade talks) because ofdeep political and legal concerns both here andabroad.

For example, the highly integrated, corporatelystructured U.S. hogindustry wants Japan,the world’s biggestpork importer, toslash pork import tar-iffs from about $2 perpound to zero as part ofany TPP deal between the12 nations now negotiat-ing the pact. Japanesefarmers offer cuts of $1per pound but no lower.

Can Japanese PrimeMinister Shinzo Abedefend the high-but-not-as-high tariffs demanded by his farmers in TPPtalks? Will the White House accept the 50 percentpork tariff cut in return for deeper tariff cuts byJapan in, say, imported rice or cars? Will U.S. hogtitans oppose the TPP if Japanese pork tariffs aren’tcut bone deep?

All are important questions as TPP talks staggertoward a finishing line. Not one, however, offers evena wink or nod to comparative advantage.

In fact, all are far more political and corporatethan economic. As such, trade deals like the TPP(Doha, too) transform Ricardo’s theory into some-thing almost rustic or quaint when inserted intotoday’s 24/7 trans-national pursuit of profit.

Long-time free trader Krugman acknowledged asmuch in a February 2014 Times column titled “NoBig Deal.” In it, the free-trading, liberal economistdeclared that he’d be “undismayed and even a bitrelieved if the T.P.P. just fades away” because “thereisn’t a compelling case for this deal, from either aglobal or national point of view.”

Indeed, what the TPP does, he explains, “isincrease the ability of certain corporations to assertcontrol over intellectual property … Is this a goodthing from a global point of view? Doubtful. The kindof property rights we’re talking about here can alter-natively be described as legal monopolies.”

And legal monopolies, dressed up as “free trade”deals but still smelling like lard, are a long way fromhiring the neighbor kid to rake leaves.

Growing up, my brothercalled me a houseplant.

While he wanted a partnerto snag crayfish from theditch, do crazy stunts on thethree-wheeler, and forge thegrove for treasures, Iplanted myself in the housewith books.

The stacks of reads camefrom the Bookmobile, churchand local libraries, and mymom’s bulging shelves. Andoften I’d get hooked on aseries or subject.

One summer most of my booksfocused on girls and horses, and Iwanted in on the adventure. So Ibegged my parents for a horse.

Scott laughed. Dad said no.Although I vowed I would take goodcare of it, dad shook his head. Heknew better. My dad is a wise man.

Horse people are a breed of theirown. A lot like book nerds, I suppose.And although I would rather readabout horses then ride them, I appre-

ciate those who do, whichgets to the heart of this col-umn.

Anita Beckman, a readerof The Land and a womanof faith who connected withme through this column,asked if we could tell peo-ple about Cowboy Church.The Land’s “Equine Issue”seems like a perfect time todo just that.

Cowboy Church: Monthly Sundayservice precedes the horses in the salebarn ring

“Say so with your voice, say so withyour horse, say so with your violin,”Gary Froiland told the couple dozencongregants gathered in the sale ringbleachers at Jackson Livestock Co.

Sunday.Froiland was referencing verse two of

Psalm 107 from the Bible — “Let theredeemed of the Lord say so” — duringhis sermon at Cowboy Church, a non-denominational Christian servicehosted every month in Jackson beforethe Sunday horse sale.

“I figured it would be a help to peoplethat wanted to go to church, butwanted to come to the sale,” said JudyWeidemeier, president of the Minn-Iowa Cowboys for Christ, which organ-izes the service.

Cowboys for Christ was founded in1970 and has chapters across theUnited States. Its main focus is toshare the gospel with those drawn tothe cowboy image and way of life. Dif-ferent chapters have been hosting“Cowboy Church” for more than 40years.

Weidemeier said she often missed thehorse sale in Jackson herself becauseshe didn’t want to miss church. Nowshe can attend both.

“We just want to get Jesus to peoplein different places,” said Kim Olson,another member of the Minn-IowaCowboys for Christ. “Some people thinkyou only hear about Him in church.”

Each month, the service starts at 8a.m., featuring music, often in a coun-try bluegrass style, followed by a ser-mon based on the Bible. There are noformal scripture readings or commun-ion.

At Sunday’s Cowboy Church, Froi-land, a gifted musician from Stew-artville, led worship. Between playing aguitar and two different banjos andsinging, he sermonized.

“Pray as though it’s all up to God,

and then work as though it’s all up toyou,” Froiland said.

Former Jackson Livestock Exchangeowners Trent and Kathy Kolander wel-comed the idea of Cowboy Church, “andit’s something I kind of tried to justkeep on with, because there is a follow-ing of people for it,” said K.C. Kolander,who now owns the sale barn.

While its name and location are tiedto those who deal with livestock, Cow-boy Church is open to anyone. Nextmonth will mark one year since thefirst service took place in Jackson,shortly after the Minn-Iowa Cowboysfor Christ was organized by Weide-meier, a massage therapist by tradewho owns several horses and lives nearBuffalo Center, Iowa.

She said God gave her the desire tostart the local chapter and have a serv-ice to bring the gospel to people whowon’t necessarily hear it in a church.

“(Jesus) was out in the countryside; Iguess we’ll be out in the countrysidetoo,” said Olson, who lives near AlbertLea and owns several horses, “a lot ofcats” and a couple chickens. During theweek, she works as a para-educator forAlbert Lea Area Schools.

Currently, Jackson is the only regu-larly scheduled Cowboy Church theMinn-Iowa chapter members organize.They also do outreach at trail rides,fairs and horse expos in the area andare hoping to add more regular serv-ices at different locations in the future.

Globe thistle is a perennialplant that has a stunning per-sonality and makes a grandstatement in any garden.

Its scientific name isEchinops ritro and it pro-duces steely blue globeflower heads the size of golfballs. The blooms begin inmid-summer and continuefor weeks attracting beesand butterflies.

Plant height is two to fourfeet and the foliage is glossygreen with silver grey undersides. Theunusual color and shape add textureand contrast to a garden. The flowersare hermaphrodite — having both maleand female organs — and are polli-nated by insects.

Select a planting site in full sun thatyou won’t have to disturb becausethese plants have long tap roots. Thetap roots make it a good choice for dryareas and like the true thistles alongthe roadsides, globe thistles flourish inpoor and dry soils. Another attribute isdeer don’t find them tasty.

We started globe thistles from seedfifteen years ago and they still arethriving in our border. The blue globeblossoms are great cut flowers for bou-quets and they also dry very nicely foruse in dried arrangements. They will

re-seed readily if theweather conditions are justright. To keep them in con-trol, dead head the flowers

when their color starts to fade.If you are looking for an enchanting,

trouble-free perennial that bees andbutterflies find irresistible, deer don’teat, and once established are remark-ably carefree, I highly recommendEchinops. Plant these blue globe this-tles with yellow or white flowers andyou will have a show-stopping area inyour garden.Readers ask:

• “How often should I have mysoil tested?” Take a soil test of newgardens as soon as the ground thaws.Retest the soil in established gardensevery three to five years.

• “Where can I get my soiltested?” Your local University Exten-sion Office will give you information

about how to take a sample and whereto send it for analysis. It will take alittle over a week to get the results.There is a nominal fee for soil testing.

• “Why should I get my soiltested?” Using chemical fertilizersevery year can increase pollution aswell as waste money so it is wise toknow what nutrients your soil has andwhat might be used to improve it.Testing eliminates guesswork.

• “Can I test the soil myself withone of the soil testing kits I see forsale?” I don’t have experience usingone of these kits. I recommend usingthe University for soil testing. TheSoil Testing and Research AnalyticalLaboratory at the University of Min-nesota provides a high level of analyti-cal precision, quality and accuracywith timely results.

For a wide variety of reasons —from healthwise to ethical — peopleare “eating vegan” more and more.But what does that mean? And howcan a regular Jane or Joe fit veganisminto their lifestyle?

Turns out eating vegan is easierthan it seems, and you don’t have todo it full time to get many of the bene-fits. Loads of foods you already enjoyare already vegan, from your morningcereal to your evening snack of chipsand salsa, and many more can becomevegan with simple tweaks.

Eating vegan simply means avoid-ing any food from an animal source:meat and dairy products. “Livingvegan” means also avoiding other ani-mal products like leather, wool andhoney.

Cookbooks abound to give instruc-tion and inspiration, and one of thebest in the genre is Chloe Coscarelli,author of “Chloe’s Kitchen,” “Chloe’sVegan Desserts” and now, “Chloe’sVegan Italian Kitchen” (Simon andSchuster, 2014).

She uses a neat trick in her BakedItalian Onion Rings to keep the batterfrom getting too “clumpy.” The John-sons loved these much lighter versions

of the usual greasy onion rings — aswell as the flavor of the Italian breadcrumbs — and bequeath four out offour “yums” to this recipe.Baked Italian Onion Rings

2 cups Italian bread crumbs2 teaspoons sea salt1 teaspoon crushed red pepper

(optional)1 cup all-purpose flour

1 1⁄4 cups water1 large onion, sliced into 1⁄2-inch

ringsOlive oil for brushingSauce of choice for dippingPreheat the oven to 450 F. Gener-

ously grease one or two large bakingsheets. In a large bowl, combine breadcrumbs, salt and red pepper, if using.Mix thoroughly until combined, thendivide the mixture into two smallbowls and set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk flour andwater until a thick batter forms. Sepa-rate onion rings. Dip each onion ring intothe batter, letting any excess drip off.Using one of your bowls of bread crumbsfirst, dip the onion ring into the breadcrumb mixture, coating completely, and

place on prepared baking sheet.Repeat with remaining onion. About

halfway through the process, whenyour bowl of bread crumb mixture getstoo clumpy, discard the first bowl, andmove on to the second bowl of breadcrumb mixture.

Then, using a pastry brush, dab eachonion ring with oil. Do this by dippingthe brush in oil and patting each onionring, rather than brushing. Bake forabout seven minutes until nicelygolden, turn over each onion ring, andbake for four to five minutes moreuntil golden. Season with salt andserve.

When Mike Berthiaume was a boy growingup in Wright County, Minn., his dad used drafthorses to farm. He recalled that his dad prac-ticed crop rotation, and fertilizer was manurefrom their 50 cows.

“If I could do it, I would go back and do it thatway,” said the 68-year-old Berthiaume, who stilllives in Wright County today.

Berthiaume and his friends are keeping theold ways alive with the draft horse and equip-ment presentations at the 2015 MinnesotaHorse Expo. Draft horses and drivers will showhow farm work was done in the early 1900s atthe Minnesota State Fairgrounds’ AgStarArena, April 24 and 25 at 1:30 p.m.

This is the first year that the Expo has offereda draft horse and vintage farm equipmentshow, said Glen Eaton, Minnesota Horse Expopresident.

“I used to work that type of equipment when I wasa kid. That’s something to see,” said Eaton, whogrew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin.

Berthiaume, a farrier who has bred, raised andshown Belgian draft horses for 35 years, hasbrought two draft horse clubs together — Northern

Minnesota Draft Horse Association and MinnesotaHorse Breeders Association. The result is a showthat features 19 teams of horses pulling a wide vari-ety of equipment: a manure spreader, plows, digger,sulky plows, corn planter, grain drill, corn binder,stone boat and more.

Draft horse teams range from single horses tothree and four abreast, along with a six-horse hitchwith two teams of three horses.

“We have 26 units total that will be demonstratedthat day,” said Berthiaume.

Draft horses and equipment will be on displaybefore and after both shows. Most of the horse-drawn farm equipment dates back to the early1900s. Brands include John Deere, McCormick, Pio-neer, Minnesota and International.

“Some of these plows will be back in the era of the late1920s up to maybe about the early ’40s. Most of theequipment was made in that era,” Berthiaume said.

For the grand finale, the draft horse teams will beground driven to line up in front of the crowd.Draft horses

Belgians, Percherons, Clydesdales, Shires and Nor-wegian Fjords will be pulling equipment. These drafthorses have long histories. The Shire can be traced to12th century England where it was first used as awar horse. The Belgian, believed to be the mostdirect descendant of the “Great Horse” of medievaltimes, carried knights onto the battlefield.

DRAFT, from pg. 8The draft horses coming to the Min-

nesota State Fairgrounds are magnifi-cent animals weighing around 1,600 to1,800 pounds. At about 16 to 17 hands,these horses aren’t the largest of thethe draft horses, said Berthiaume.

Show horses, such as the famousBudweiser Clydesdales, are even big-ger versions. Bigger isn’t always bet-ter, though, when it comes to workinghorses.

“The farm horses that we use herearen’t those gigantic horses,” he said.“Some drafters are around 18 hands,but most guys don’t like them that bigbecause they don’t have as much stam-ina in the field. Not as athletic.”

Berthiaume and his colleagues con-dition their horses by driving sleighrides in the winter and haulingmanure in the spring. For most, farm-ing with horses is a hobby, but they dopractice in the fields once the groundthaws. He rents most of his land outfor cash crops, but has land set aside towork with his Belgians.

“If we’re going out and start springfield work, you can only work a fewhours the first few days. As you condi-

tion, you extend their work time untilthey are physically fit,” Berthiaumesaid.

He has seen a renewed interest indraft horses for farming. NorthernMinnesota’s Draft Horse Field Dayslast fall was their largest ever, with120 horses, 2 mules, four oxen and over1,200 spectators. The demonstrationtakes place in a field so the audiencecan see how the ground is worked bythe different equipment.

The demos inspire oohs, aahs andapplause from the crowd.

“We do all kinds of tillage work, plow-ing, discing, cutting corn, hauling to theshredder, picking corn, threshinggrain,” Berthiaume said. “There are somany different activities going on.”

A growing Amish community insouthern Minnesota is still making aliving with farm horses. In fact, aBlooming Prairie man makes modernhorse-drawn farm equipment. Berthi-aume demonstrated a culti-mulcherfrom him.

He has also seen renewed interest indriving horses. As people are gettingolder they get into driving, and not justthe heavy breeds — light breeds and

cross breeds are becoming popular, too.“You can sit in a cart or buggy and

drive instead of being on top of thehorse. It’s slower paced and morepleasurable and something new that

they can still do,” said Berthiaume.Riding in a horse and buggy is new

Like the idea of picking rocks fromthe seat of your all-terrain vehicle?Like it even better when those rocksare gathered into a 10-gauge steel rockbox with mesh floor that hydraulicallydumps them when and where youwish?

And all the while, you’re still ridingin comfort on your ATV.

Such a beast is now on the market.Called the Marshall Picker because itwas invented and now manufacturedin Marshall, Minn., Doug Andersondescribes his unique tool and how itcame about.

“People are picking rock by hand andoften using their ATVs to transportthem across their fields,” said Ander-son. “So I thought, why not a contrap-tion that lets them do that very jobwithout getting on and off their ATV.”

His stone picker weighs 680 poundsand can haul up to 1,700 pounds offield rock. With a self-contained 12vhydraulic power unit tapped into anon-board deep cycle battery, the trailer

mounted on a heavy duty rubber tiredhub measures about 3 foot by 3 footand can fit 15-, 22- or 30-inch row

spacing.Two sets of revolving teeth flip

stones into the rock box. Heavy duty,steel-hardened teeth can be reversedfor longer useful life in this cumber-some chore of cleaning fields.

Just launched this past November,Anderson said he’s getting lots of goodcomments because this system canreally take the chore out of cleaning afield of rocks, even rocks weighing upto a couple hundred pounds.

“Just eliminating the getting on andoff your ATV should cut your time by50 percent to 70 percent. And it’s aone-man operation instead of two orthree which a farmer often deploys ifhe can find the rock pickers,” saidAnderson.

The Marshall Picker is being mar-keted wherever field rocks are a prob-lem. He already has distributors inSouth Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa andMinnesota. Purchase price is $5,500,complete with deep cycle battery andtwo-inch coupler connecting hitch.The machines are black and powdercoated.

For more information, call MarshallMachine Shop at (866) 262-4418. ❖

In mid-March, with temperatures climbing intothe 60s from East Grand Forks, Minn., toEstherville, Iowa, the winter’s frost was rapidlycoming out of the ground.

“The first two to four inches of top soil thawed onMarch 10, and I expect that by the end of the fore-casted warm period frost should be out down toeight to 10 inches,” said Jeff Vetsch of the Univer-sity of Minnesota’s Southern Research and Out-reach Center at Waseca.

Vetsch said that the 25-inch frost depth at Wasecameasured on March 9 was about average and that itwas similar to last year’s maximum frost depth.March 9 was the last day downward movement offrost was measured anywhere in the region.

Frost did not penetrate as deeply at the Univer-sity of Minnesota’s research station at Lambertonthis year as it did last year. This year, on March 9,the frost depth at the Southwest Research and Out-reach Center at Lamberton recorded frost at 37inches on bare ground. Frost on ground with sod onit was at 19 inches at the SWROC on March 9. Ayear earlier, on March 17, 2014, bare ground frostwas at 54 inches.

“Last winter’s frost was unusually deep,” said BrucePotter, assistant Extension professor for integratedpest management at SWROC. “This winter we did nothave the prolonged extreme cold temperatures.”

Based on weather forecasts, Potter said hebelieves the frost will be out before fieldwork beginsin southwestern Minnesota this year. That wasn’tnecessarily the case last year.

“In parts of Minnesota last year, the upper soilthawed and dried deep enough to plant corn but therewas still some frost lower in the profile,” Potter said.

The Research and Outreach Centers at Lambertonand Waseca are part of a network of weather sta-tions that, among other things, report frost depth tothe National Weather Service’s Northwest RiverForecast Center. Frost depths are measured usingtubes that go 5 to 6 feet into the earth.

In Long Prairie, which is the most northerly frosttube station in the state outside of Duluth andGrand Forks N.D., the frost just kept getting deeperthis year. On March 9, Steve and Nancy Potter, whooperate the weather station, measured frost at 40inches. Their frost tube is on soil covered with vege-tation and not in an open field.

“In the middle of March of 2014 the frost depth was11 inches,” Nancy Potter said. “It did not go below 12inches last year.”

The frost tube at Grand Forks measured frost at 46inches and Duluth was at 39 inches, on March 9.South of Duluth, in northwestern Wisconsin, frostwas at 57 inches. Other frost depth measuring sitesin Minnesota include Morris at 30 inches, Montev-ideo at 42 inches, Blue Earth County at 23 inches andthe University of Minnesota at St. Paul at 32 inches.

The River Forecast Center does not have frost tubestations reporting to it in northern Iowa but a tubein the area of Prairie du Chien, Wis., across the Mis-sissippi from Iowa, measured frost at 27 inches. Atube at Sioux Falls, S.D., had frost at 15 inches.Soil temps

Most areas don’t have frost tubes to measure frostdepth so estimating frost depth is a guessing game.

“I don’t know of official deep soil temperatureslocally,” said Dan Martens, University of MinnesotaExtension educator for Stearns, Benton, and Morri-son Counties. “Reports from well drillers, plumbers,grave diggers are as good as it gets. And I’d guess itvaries widely across the landscape.”

Martens’ colleague Beth Berlin, an Extension edu-cator for horticulture, said she’s heard informalreports of frost as deep as 60 inches or more.

“In regards to the impact on perennial plants,depth of the frost is not as big of a factor as tempera-tures near the soil surface where the roots for mostof the plants are concentrated,” Berlin said. “Due tothe lack of snow, it is concerning how hardy theperennials will be. Those who insulated their gar-dens with mulch such as leaves, straw, or pine nee-dles, will likely have less loss, but for those who wererelying on snow cover, plant loss is possible.”

Martens and Vetsch both agree with Berlin thatit’s the temperatures near the soil surface that putplants at risk. Vetsch recalls that last year, fromMarch 10 to 22, temperatures reached the mid-30s tomid-40s. That caused alfalfa to break dormancy.Then temperatures plummeted to 10 to 11 F. Thatdamaged the new growth on the alfalfa, Vetsch said.

“Generally if the soil temperature around thecrown drops below 15 degrees, there can be damageto the alfalfa crown,” Martens said. “Under thoseconditions we could have concern for winter wheatand rye as well. Rye is more durable than winterwheat.”

“The frost is down five inches from top and oneinch at bottom,” Nancy Potter said of conditions inLong Prairie on March 14. “Only 34 inches to go.”

Minnesota Gov. Dayton’s 50-foot buffer strips proposal isnow a state initiative andbipartisan legislation in boththe House and Senate. Asexpected, the riparian bufferbills have picked up bothadvocates and adversaries.

Dayton introduced his proposal for50-foot buffer strips along the state’sstreams, drainage ditches and riversat the annual Minnesota Departmentof Natural Resources Roundtable. Tak-ing the environmental and agriculturecamps by surprise, he said the bufferstrips would improve water qualityand provide an estimated 125,000acres of potential habitat cover.

Minnesota State RepresentativePaul Torkelson, R-Hanska, is a farmerwho co-authored and introduced thebuffer bill, House File 1534, in its firstHouse hearing on March 9. HoweverTorkelson, according to an article fromThe Free Press of Mankato, Minn.,doesn’t support the bill as proposed.

Torkelson said 50-foot buffer strips onall waterways is too simple of a solu-tion to a complicated problem.

Torkelson also expressed doubts thatthe bill will get out of committee, not-ing that he was asked to introduce theproposal on behalf of Denny McNa-mara, R-Hastings, who chairs theHouse Environment and NaturalResources Policy and Finance Commit-tee.

“It just doesn’t have the legs to standon,” said Torkelson. “We can’t expectland owners and farmers to be O.K.with this legislation unless there iscombined assistance on the manyissues that are part of water quality.”

Meanwhile, in the Minnesota Sen-

ate, Senator John Marty, DFL-Roseville, co-authored and introducedthe senate bill, Senate File 1537, to theEnvironment and Energy Committee,which he chairs. The Committeepassed the bill and referred it to theJobs, Agriculture and Rural Develop-ment Committee.

If the bills pass, land owners haveuntil Sept. 1, 2016, to install 50-footbuffers of perennial vegetation alongstate waters that have flows during themajority of the growing season. Soil andWater Conservation Districts willimplement the policy and provide assis-tance to landowners to install buffers.Cost-sharing provisions for the imple-mentation of buffers is not yet deter-mined.

Existing law calls for one-rod (16.5foot) wide buffers alongside all man-made drainage ditches, but this onlyapplies to ditches dug after 1977 or onsubsequent re-determinations of ditchcleanouts. In some cases, 50-footbuffers are already required. Enforce-ment is under criticism by Gov. Dayton.

The legislation allows for exemp-

tions, such as situations where a 50-foot buffer would not protect orimprove water quality. The draftstates that landowners are not lim-ited in their usage of these bufferstrips which suggests they could beharvested as hay or grazed with live-stock.

DNR would be charged with estab-lishing and maintaining county mapsof all waters subject to buffer require-ments; correcting violations; andwithholding funds to soil and waterconservation districts for failing toimplement the requirements.Farmers on both sides

Farmers are on both sides of thefence when it comes to buffer strips.

Both the Minnesota Corn GrowersAssociation and the Minnesota Soy-bean Growers Association are voicingconcerns. So, too, the Minnesota FarmBureau.

In its March newsletter, the Min-nesota Farmers Union stated it doesnot support buffer strips in a one-size-

BUFFER, from pg. 13fits-all manner. MFU passed a spe-cial order requesting the Legisla-ture to direct a buffer issue studydue back to the 2016 Legislature.

In a press release from the Min-nesota Corn Growers Association,Bruce Peterson, a Northfield-areafarmer and president of MCGA,questioned if a political debate dur-ing the few weeks remaining of this 2015 legislativesession can adequately address all the issues.

“Therefore, we do not support the governor’s one-size fits-all proposal,” said Peterson.

The press release stated that MCGA supports theuse of buffers as one of several best managementpractices farmers use to protect water quality.

“We also support existing buffer laws and their vigor-ous local enforcement, which allows farmers and localauthorities to work together to seek water quality solu-tions that take into account the diversity of Min-nesota’s farmland,” Peterson said in the press release.

One reason water quality is a heated issue datesback to the Clean Water Act of 1972 which exemptedagriculture.

“The agricultural industry is the only industry thatdoes not need to regulate its discharge water andtherein lies much of the problems of today,” said long-time conservation advocate Tom Kalahar, RenvilleCounty Soil and Water Conservation District.

“What’s needed is common sense language that isfair to land owners,” said Kalahar. “We have farmerslined up out the door to put buffers on their land.Farmers have been ready for this for years. It’s the

politicians and thebureaucrats thatcan’t get it donebecause of their loy-alty to ‘Big Ag.’”

Kalahar talked with Renville County producers,including Swede Elfering and Myron Macik, aboutbuffer strips.

“Swede’s exact words to me: ‘It’s about time. Weshould have done this 20 years ago.’ Last year wehad 26 applications totaling 177,000 linear feet ofdrainage ditch buffers that went unfunded,” saidKalahar.

“This is not an issue that farmers won’t do,” hesaid. “They know the value of their land resources.They want to protect that resource. This is an issuethe state commodity groups don’t want to do. Plusyour talking heads of other farmer organizationsincluding Farm Bureau don’t do.”

According to a recent analysis from the Board ofWater and Soil Resources, 64 percent of all waters inthe southern and western regions of Minnesota are notsubject to any buffer requirements under current law.

Buffers serve a dual purpose. They “drink up” someof the pollutants such as nitrates from fertilizer thatmight wash off farm fields into waterways. They alsohelp keep stream banks and riverbanks in place.After intense rains, sloughing of soils in sharp cor-ners of waterways often happens with resultingbuild ups of soil in the basin bottoms.

Minnesota Department of Natural Resources hascreated the Governor’s Buffer Initiative website. Visitwww.dnr.state.mn.us/buffers/index.html to learnmore about buffer strips. ❖

Grain OutlookSelling focus on old crop

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing March 27.

CORN — Corn benefited from a pre-U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture report rally to close 6 centshigher for the week at $3.91 perbushel and 5 1⁄2 cents higher inthe December contract at $4.143⁄4 per bushel.

Grower selling was flat withany selling interest concen-trated in old crop. Wet weatherhas slowed corn planting in theDelta and the South and alongwith it new crop sales have beenfairly stagnant.

The main event for the agricul-tural commodities is the March31 USDA reports that includethe March 1 Grain Stocks and Prospective Plantingreport. The USDA does not release supply/demandbalance sheets next week, saving that for the April 9monthly crop report. The importance of the grainstocks is the implied feed usage.

On the Dec. 1 report, the trade was disappointedwhen usage indicated a 4 percent decrease from ayear earlier. Increasing animal numbers implies thatsecond quarter feed usage will rise as a result. In fiveof the last seven years, there has been a tendency forMarch 1 corn stocks to be below pre-report tradedprojections.

Safras raised their Brazilian corn production pro-jection to 75.9 million metric tons from 74.7 mmt.Argentina’s corn harvest was estimated at 7.5 per-cent complete versus 10.2 percent complete last year.

Livestock AnglesCattle market fast, erratic

The livestock markets continue to amaze with theirvolatility and erratic tendencies. The past fewmonths have seen just about everything there is tooffer as far as price movement in trading livestockcontracts. The thought at thispoint is that little is likely tochange in the near future.

The cattle market has proven tobe the fast mover with erraticprice movement since the Novem-ber price high was established.This has been caused by whatseems to be the struggle betweena short supply of cattle and adecreasing demand for beef. Asthe beef cutout has fluctuated, sohas the sentiment toward theprice direction, causing a veryerratic price development in thelive market and the futures.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture released theMonthly Cattle on Feed Report on March 20. Theresults were as follows: on feed 99 percent, placements92 percent, and marketed 98 percent. This report wasseen as friendly as the placement number was a littleless than expected and the marketing number was alittle higher than anticipated by the trade.

This continues to confirm that cattle numbers aretight, and this should continue to support the bullsapproach towards higher prices. Because the futurescontinues to remain at a discount to the cash trade,one would suspect that this discount should narrowin the near term.

This will test the demand side of the market ascompetitive meats continue to slump in price, mak-ing competitive meats more attractive at the retail

Grain AnglesProjected corn,bean estimates

On March 31, the U.S. Department of Agriculturewill publish the Prospective Plantings Report,which is a survey-based estimate of the number ofacres expected to be planted of each crop.

Preliminary estimates pub-lished by private analyst/consult-ing companies projected slightreductions in corn and wheatacres and a rather large increasein soybean acres. The USDA Out-look Conference held last monthhad much smaller changes in thecorn and soybean acres, withestimates for 2015 at 83.5 millionacres of soybeans and corn at 89million acres.

The USDA Outlook Conferenceacre estimates are from econo-mists on the USDA staff versusthe farmer surveys used in the USDA’s MarchProspective Planting Report.

Private analysts expect corn acres dropping to 88to 90 million acres, and soybeans acres increasing to84 to 88 million acres. These 2015 acre estimateswould have soybean acres at or near record highsand corn acres the lowest since 2010 when therewere less than 90 million acres planted.Impact on ratios

If South American soybean production is indeed350 to 400 million bushels larger than last year’srecord, and large increases of soybean acres areplanted in the United States next year, the corn-to-soybean price ratio may be strained further.

The soybean-to-corn price ratio has traded over2.90 times the price of corn futures in 2013 and 2014to as low as 1.90 times the price of corn in 2011. If

NYSTROM, from pg. 15tations at 17.1 million bushels. Totalexport commitments fell to 8 percentbehind last year when the USDA is calling for 6 per-cent decline in sales year on year.Sales need to average 17.6 million bushels per weekto hit the UDSA’s export forecast. We haven’t aver-aged sales over 16.7 million per week from thispoint through the end of the marketing in any of thelast four years. Will exports see a cut on future bal-ance sheets?

Ethanol production last week was up 6,000 bar-rels per day to 953,000 barrels per day. Ethanolstocks were up 497,000 barrels to 21.32 million bar-rels.

The hogs and pigs report as of March 1 indicatedall hogs and pigs at 107.2 percent of a year ago, keptfor breeding at 102.2 percent and kept for market-ing at 107.7 percent. It was mixed report with allhogs and pigs slightly higher than estimates, thebreeding number was lower than expectations andmarketings slightly higher.

OUTLOOK: The average trade guesses for theMarch 31 USDA reports are as follows: March 1corn stocks at 7.609 billion bushels, range 7.459-7.8billion bushels, and compared to last year’s stocksat 7.008 billion bushels; prospective corn plantingat 88.731 million acres, range 87-89.7 million acres,

and 90.597 million acres last year. Iwould expect the stocks report to

carry more overall weight for directionas it will come down to yields as the biggest influ-ence on the new crop size.

The USDA extended the deadline to sign upfor either the Agricultural Risk Coverageor the Price Loss Coverage until April7. Technically, corn established akey reversal lower on March 26,breaking a four-day streak ofhigh closes. The reversal lowercould be extended if the USDAdoesn’t provide a reason totest $4 again.

Grain markets will beclosed April 3 for Good Fri-day.

SOYBEANS — A lateweek sell-off pushed soybeansinto the red after an unevent-ful news week. May soybeansfinished the week 6 1⁄2 centslower at $9.67 1⁄4 per bushel andthe November contract dropped 71⁄2 cents to $9.48 3⁄4 per bushel.

Brazilian truckers met with the govern-ment this week with little information comingfrom the meeting. Is no news, good news? There waschatter that if the government did not make conces-sions or step in to promote minimum freight rates,independent trucks would go on strike April 23. WithBrazilian soybean harvest over 70 percent complete,the window for affecting harvest logistics is shrink-ing weekly.

How this would affect switching soybean cargoesfrom Brazil to the United States would depend onhow quickly China needs the soybeans they havebought from Brazil. AgroConsult upped their Brazil-ian bean production forecast to 95.8 mmt from 94.7mmt. USDA’s last figure for Brazil was 94.5 mmt.

Argentina is scheduled for a one-day transporta-tion strike on March 31, but is not expected to havean impact on exports with their bean harvest onlyaround five percent complete. Argentina’s early beanyields have been reported at 59-67 bushels per acreversus 53.5 bu./acre last year.

Soybean weekly export sales were the best in six

weeks at 18.6 million bushels and brought total com-mitments to nine percent ahead of last year at 1.781billion bushels. The USDA’s last estimates peggedexports to be up 8.6 percent year on year. We onlyneed 2.5 million bushels per week to hit the USDA’s

target. New crop sales were 8.1 million bushels.New crop sales are running less than

half of last year.OUTLOOK: Soybeans fadedthis week in preparation for the

USDA reports as they closedlower for four consecutivesessions heading into theweekend. Soybean acreageis expected to jump fromlast year and basis levelswere firmer as farmerselling dried up in theinterior and crush mar-gins over 75 cents perbushel on the board and

80-95 cents per bushel onthe cash side, depending on

location.If the USDA reports don’t pro-

vide the fodder for a higher mar-ket, the next support level for May

soybeans is closer to $9.50 per bushel.The average trade forecasts for the March 31

USDA reports: March 1 soybean stocks at 1.346 bil-lion bushels, range 1.273-1.404 billion bushels andcompared to last year’s 994 million bushels; prospec-tive planting at 85.919 million acres, range 83.1-88million acres, and 83.701 million planted acres in2014.

In five of the last seven years, March 1 stocks havecome in above trade forecasts. In five of the last sixyears, prospective plantings have come in less thanexpected.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week end-ing March 27: Chicago wheat fell 22 1⁄4 cents, Min-neapolis dropped 14 1⁄2 cents and Kansas City was16 1⁄2 cents lower. Wheat losses came at the hands ofbetter crop conditions as of March 22 and scatteredrains in the Plains. May crude oil rallied $2.30 to$48.87 per barrel, ultra-low-sulfur diesel and refor-mulated blendstock for oxygenate blending wereessentially unchanged, and natural gas slipped 191⁄2 cents lower. ❖

Late-week sell-off pushes soybeans into redMARKETING

LENSING, from pg. 15we see over 84 million acres of soybeans plantedalong with less than 90 million acres of corn, it will bea five-year low on corn acres and record number ofsoybean acres. Commodity marketing and risk man-agement is and will be as important as ever this year.

There’s little doubt about it — grain producers aregoing to feel the pressure. Now is the time to positionyour operation for a compressed margin environ-ment. In addition to managing risk and margins,taking a close look at expenses including family liv-ing expenses, along with building adequate working

capital and liquidity will be critical for success.It will be interesting to see if we actually see a sig-

nificant drop in planted acres in 2015, especiallysince Conservation Reserve Program acres look to bedecreasing by 2.5 million acres from 2014 to the2015 growing season. Visit www.agstar.com/edge formore industry expertise.

Grain producers to feel pressure

TEALE, from pg. 15level. This could restrict how high the cattle pricescan go before meeting resistance from the prospec-tive buyers at all levels. Thus far little has changedin the overall market conditions; therefore look for acontinuation of sharp and erratic moves in cattleprices in the weeks ahead.

The hog market has been the more steady-as-she-goes market. That steadiness has been in the formof a decline in price for weeks on end, and shows lit-tle sign of ending. Once again, like the cattle, this isclassic supply versus demand. However, in thisinstance in the hog market, it is the big supply ver-sus a moderate demand.

The strong U.S. dollar has slowed export businesswhich has obviously hurt demand for pork in anincreasing supply of product. There may be a lightat the end of this tunnel, however, as it appears thata possible top has come to the U.S. dollar in the mid-dle of March.

Expectations for the USDA All Hogs and PigsReport on March 27 are for an increase in the hogherd, which if true will cast a further negative toneto the hog market. With the hog futures marketvery oversold and discount the lean index, a shortcovering rally might occur as we approach theQuarterly Hogs and Pigs Report.

Nevertheless, producers should continue toapproach the market with caution and protectinventories as needed. ❖

Due to the high cost of investment infarm machinery, an ever-increasing num-ber of farm operators are hiring otherfarm operators to provide some or all oftheir machinery resources for their farmoperation. This is especially true withnew and younger farm operators, andwith children who decide to start farmingwith their parents.

Some land investors are choosing tooperate a farm themselves rather thancash renting the land to another farmoperator. In that case, the landowner isgenerally hiring a farm operator toprovide necessary tillage, plantingand harvesting crop operations undera custom farming agreement.

Some farm operators also hire specific farm opera-tions through a custom arrangement with anotherfarm operator, such as combining or hay baling.Many farm operators negotiate these types of cus-tom rate and custom farming arrangements in thespring of the year.Custom rates increasing

As has been the trend in recent years, average2015 custom rates for farm work are likely to showa small increase, compared to 2014 custom rates.Most custom rates for tillage, planting, and harvestoperations in 2015 are listed at two percent to fivepercent above the rates for similar operations in2014, with an average increase of about 3.5 percent.Fuel costs have declined slightly from 2014 levels;however, increasing cost for new and used machin-ery, along with rising repair and labor expenses, arealso factors in the higher custom rates.

These results are based on the annual “Iowa FarmCustom Rate Survey” that is coordinated and ana-lyzed by Iowa State University. The survey sampled

166 custom operators and farm managers on whatthey expected 2015 custom farm rates to be for vari-ous farm operations. The survey summary lists theaverage custom rate and the range for varioustillage, planting, fertilizer and chemical application,grain harvesting, and forage harvesting functions onthe farm. The survey also includes many miscella-neous farming practices, lists average machinerental rates for some equipment, and includes a for-mula for estimating average machinery rental rates.The survey also lists average custom farming ratesfor corn, soybeans, and wheat. Over the years, theaverage custom rates for farm operations in south-ern and western Minnesota has been very close tothe average Iowa custom rates.2015 custom rates

Average 2015 farm custom rates for some typicaltillage, planting, and harvesting practices, as well ascustom farming rates, are listed in the table on Page19.

The complete 2015 “Iowa Farm Custom Rate Sur-vey” for all farming practices is available online atthe following website: www.extension.iastate.edu andsearch Iowa Farm Custom Rate Survey.

All listed custom rates in the Iowa Survey resultsinclude fuel, labor, repairs, depreciation, insurance,and interest, unless listed as rental rates or other-

wise specified. The average price for diesel fuel wasassumed to be $2.94 per gallon. A fuel price increaseof 50 cents per gallon would cause most custom ratesto increase by approximately 5 percent. These aver-age rates are only meant to be a guide for customrates, as actual custom rates charged may varydepending on continued increase in fuel costs, avail-ability of custom operators, timeliness, field size, etc.Custom farming agreements

An alternative to leasing farmland is a CustomFarming Agreement. In a typical Custom FarmingAgreement, the custom operator agrees to perform allthe machine operations on the owner’s land inexchange for a set fee or rate. (Note: Average CustomFarming Rates for 2015 are listed in the 2015 CustomRate Survey Table on Page 19.) The landowner paysfor all seed, fertilizer, chemicals, crop insurance, andother input costs; receives all grain produced, as wellas all eligible farm program payments on the land;and is responsible to store and market the grain.

One obvious advantage to the custom operator isthat a Custom Farming Agreement provides someextra farm income, with little or no additional operat-ing capital or farm machinery investment. Fuel,lubrication, and repairs are usually the only addedcosts. In addition, custom farming offers a fixedreturn per acre to the custom operator, and althoughthere is some possibility of higher repair bills, this isminor compared with the price and yield risks typi-cally faced by a farm operator in a normal cash rentalcontract. Of course, in a good year, profits from a Cus-tom Farming Agreement will be lower than undermost cash rental leases; however, in this era of muchhigher land rental rates there is much more risk tothe farm operator with a cash lease, as compared to acustom agreement with a landowner.

Landowners also find several advantages to a Cus-tom Farming Agreement. Landowners with smallacreages can make most of the crop production andgrain marketing decisions without the investmentinto a full-line of farm machinery. The landownerdoes not have to negotiate land rental rates, or worryabout collecting lease payments, since the owner

THIESSE, from pg. 18receives all of the cropproceeds. The landownerdoes have to pay the farm operator anagreed upon per-acre fee for the cus-tom farming services by specifieddates. The landowner is considered tobe the material participant for incometax purposes, and the landowner istypically entitled to all governmentfarm program payments, crop insur-ance indemnity payments, etc.

Key issuesAlthough the concept of a Custom

Farming Agreement is simple, closecommunication between the customoperator and the landowner is essen-tial. A written contract for the Custom

Farming Agreementshould definitely be

prepared that specifiesthe amount of payment by thelandowner to the custom operator, andall other pertinent details. Followingare some points to consider for a Cus-tom Farming Agreement:

• The Custom Farming Agreementshould specify the payment amount peracre that the landowner will pay thecustom operator, and should list thepayment dates.

• There needs to be an accurate counton the number of acres that will beunder the Custom Farming Agreementfor payment purposes, and so that thefarm operator can accurately plan

tillage, planting, and harvesting sched-ules.

• The normal field practices to beincluded under a Custom FarmingAgreement should be listed (includingtillage, planting, weed control, harvest-ing, hauling grain, etc.). Typically, theseagreed upon practices are part of theper acre custom farming payment thatis negotiated between the custom oper-ator and the farm owner.

• Additional tillage trips or replant-ing due to weather conditions, or addedspraying applications of pesticides tocontrol weeds, insects or diseases,which are provided by the custom oper-ator, are usually charged to thelandowner at a custom rate per acre,which is over and above the base cus-tom farming rate.

• Timing of planting and harvestingoperations should be discussed andnegotiated between the custom opera-tor and the landowner prior to thegrowing season, and possibly beincluded in the written contract. Thiscan become a tenuous issue, especiallyin years with challenging weather con-ditions.

• The custom operator may be askedfor advice by landowner regarding theseed corn hybrid or soybean variety toplant, fertilizer rates, chemical applica-tions, levels of crop insurance, farm

program sign-up choice, or grain mar-keting decisions. However, the finaldecisions on these type of items liewith the farm owner/operator, and thecustom operator needs to be careful notto take responsibility for the finalauthority on those decisions.

• Typically, the harvested grain of thelandowner is delivered by the customoperator to a farm storage facility thatis owned or rented by the landowner, orto an agreed upon area grain elevator,as part of the Custom Farming Agree-ment. Any grain deliveries beyond thelocal area usually result in thelandowner paying an extra custom ratecharge for grain hauling. Also, if thelandowner uses the custom operatorsgrain drying and handling facilities,there is typically an added charge forthese services.

The annual Prospective Plantingsreport published by the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture’s National Agricul-tural Statistics Service is based on thevoluntary responses from nearly 2,000Minnesota producers. This report pro-vides an indication of the acres farmersintend to plant in the 2015 crop year.Actual plantings will depend uponweather, economic conditions and theavailability of production inputs at thetime producers must make their finalplanting decisions.

Minnesota farmers intend to plant8.5 million acres of corn for all pur-poses in 2015, 300,000 acres more thanlast year’s actual planted acres. If real-ized, this would be the third largest

corn acreage planted on record,250,000 less than the record of 8.75million planted in 2012, according tothe NASS Prospective Plantingsreport.

Farmers in Minnesota intend toplant 7.5 million acres of soybeans, up2 percent from 2014. If realized, thiswould tie the previous record high setin 2003.

Spring wheat producers intend toplant 1.26 million acres, up 40,000acres from last year and 60,000 acresabove 2013.

Stocks last year werealso up 20 percent fromJanuary but were 31 per-cent below those inFebruary 2013.

The dairy industry’s fluid milk woescontinue. January packaged fluid milk

sales totaled 4.41 billionpounds, down 3.1 percentfrom January 2014, accord-ing to USDA’s Dairy MarketNews. January sales of con-ventional products totaled4.21 billion pounds, down3.0 percent from a year ago;organic products, at 205 mil-lion pounds, were down 5.3percent, the first organicdecline in well over a year.

Organic represented about4.6 percent of total salesfor the month.Looking back, January-

Midwest cheese manufacturers aremaintaining busy schedules to accom-modate increasing volumes of milk,according to Dairy Market News. Thismay sound like repetition of recentweeks, but this week’s conditions con-tinue to repeat the recent past. Curi-ously, the sameness of conditions forseveral weeks is causing some nervous-ness, precisely because extended gen-eral equilibrium conditions seem aber-rant. Nevertheless, significant volumesof milk are being trucked from dairyfarms and cheese continues to be aprofitable outlet among dairy process-ing options.

Domestic cheese demand in theUnited States is still strong both in the

retail and foodservice segments. SomeMidwest cheese manufacturers notethat cheese orders are up and invento-ries are decreasing. Buyers and sellerseach seem comfortable with inventorylevels.

Western output is steady to higher ona week-to-week basis. The impact of sea-sonally increasing milk supplies andoffers of surplus milk are keeping asmuch milk into cheese making asdesired. In addition, nonfat dry milk andcondensed skim are available and afford-able to fortify/standardize cheese vats.

Theamounts of butter in these sales arethe equivalent of 737.991 millionpounds of milk on a milkfat basis,according to CWT.

U.S. dairy exports took us to recordhigh prices last year and now the dropin those exports is plunging prices wellbelow those of a year ago. Lookingahead, there are a lot of challenges theUnited States faces in the global dairymarket, including the strength of theU.S. dollar in relation to other curren-cies, EU quotas ending, New Zealandhas formed a trade agreement withSouth Korea, which is one of our valu-able trading partners.

I asked FC Stone dairy broker DaveKurzawski in Friday’s DairyLine; willthe United States be a major dairyexporter again and when?

“Yes, we will,” Kurzawski answered,“but not any time real soon.” Heacknowledged that 2015 dairy exports,so far, have actually been a little betterthan expected but are still down about

40 percent, as of theJanuary data. Kurza-wski says we exported

about 17.5 percent in January 2014and that figure is closer to 11 percentthis year.

He agrees the challenges will makeexporting difficult and he doesn’t seemuch of a change in that dynamic inthe second half of the year. “The dollarwill continue to provide a headwind toexports,” he said, but while the majordiscussion is over exports, he empha-sized how good domestic demand fordairy products is right now.

We also discussed the Russianembargo, which Kurzawski said couldchange this year. His ear to the railsays sanctions will be lifted in Augustbut that’s not assured however “itwould be a big game changer for prod-uct that is now competing with U.S.product out of Europe.”

“There is the possibility that the sec-ond half bears better export fruit than

the first half,” he said, “But some ofthese issues that we’re dealing withwill keep a lid on exports at leastthrough Third Quarter of this year.”

As to the free trade agreementbetween New Zealand and SouthKorea, Kurzawski said it is a factorhowever the United States is not theonly country with a trade agreementwith South Korea, many countries do.New Zealand’s entry is really “late incoming,” he said, and you have to lookat the product mix. The United Statespredominately exports cheese to SouthKorea and New Zealand would likelyexport powder, but we’ll have to waitto see what the outcome of this will bebut he doesn’t see this changing U.S.dynamics substantially.

MIELKE, from pg. 23increase consumer food prices whiledriving smaller farms out of business,according to Vermont dairy farmer Joanna Lidback,who said that the use of GMO crops is important toher farm’s economic sustainability.

In testimony presented March 24 before the HouseAgriculture Committee, Lidback, who farms in West-more, Vermont, with her husband and two sons, saidthat building an economically viable small familybusiness has led them to “fully embrace using tech-nology to farm better and with less impact on oursurroundings,” and part of that entails using GMOseed varieties that grow best in New England.

“We would want the choice of the best seed regard-less of breeding technology; genetic engineering offersthe best options,” she said, explaining that their 200acre farm in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom has ashorter growing season that limits the variety of cropsthey can grow. If marketplace demands were to forcethem to use non-GMO feed grains, most of whichwould be certified organic, the farm’s feed bill wouldmore than double each month, from $5,328 to $12,000.

“I do not see how we could profitably farm in thelong term with those increased feed costs,” Lidbacksaid. “I also believe that biotechnology enables us tolessen the environmental impact that growing canhave because less fertilizer and pesticides are usedto grow an abundant crop.”

Lidback testified on behalf of Agri-Mark Dairy Coop-

erative, which is a member of both theNational Council of Farmer Coopera-

tives and the National Milk ProducersFederation. Lidback keeps a blog documenting herfamily’s life on the farm, at www.farmlifelove.com.

National Milk reported in a March 24 press releasethat the Departments of Health and Human Ser-vices, and Agriculture, held a public meeting in

Bethesda, Md., to receive public oral comments onthe Scientific Report of the 2015 Dietary GuidelinesAdvisory Committee. National Milk is one of 70organizations offering input on the draft report.

When Ed Krugmire opensthe gates to start theunderwater turbines that

drive the grain milling process, thehydraulic force is awesome.

“There are thousands of gallonsof water racing through everyminute,” said Krugmire, whosefamily has owned Schech’s Millnear Caledonia, Minn., for about130 years.

Krugmire said he believesSchech’s Mill is the oldest water-powered grain mill in Minnesotathat is operating with its originalequipment. He did some mainte-nance on the mill’s turbines notlong ago.

“The new turbine was installedin 1924,” he said proudly.

The other two turbines wereinstalled in 1876, when the millwas built. Krugmire’s family, on hismother’s side, bought the mill a fewyears later. The original underwa-ter bearings on the 1876 turbineare still in place.

“Those self-lubricating bearingsare made from a dense SouthAmerican wood that doesn’t float,”he said.

The turbines turn the hugestones that grind wheat, corn,buckwheat, and hulless oats intoflour.

Schech’s Mill has always had acommercial function for the family.However flour production halted temporarily in the1940s.

“They ground livestock feed at that time,” Krug-mire said.

In the 1970s, the family started giving mill tours.Visitors that take tours can watch the flour-makingprocess at a water-powered mill from grain elevatorto mill wheel to bag. Krugmire even shows themhow flour is sifted and screened.

“You can sift it down through finer screens so it isalmost a white flour,” he said, “but the whole wheatis more nutritious.”

Visitors get to watch Krugmire make corn meal asthe water rushes through the turbines as well.

“Everybody leaves with a bag of flour or cornmeal,” he said. “They can also buy flour bags fromthe ’30s and ’40s. Some of those had elaboratedesigns and people collect them.”

There are also old photos to look at and old millingand farming equipment. Krugmire even has awater-powered corn sheller that he demonstrates.

“People are free to look around,” he said. “They canalso have a picnic along the mill stream and go troutfishing if they want. It’s a great family outing andit’s near Beaver Creek State Park.”

Tours of Schech’s Mill are available Friday throughSunday from May until October. The cost for adults is$5, and $1 for children. Learn more by visitingwww.schechsmill.com or calling (651) 245-5566. ❖
