Conformation traits are all well and good, according to Fairfax, Minn., dairy producer Brad Nosbush,but when it comes down to it, milk in the tank is what pays the bills. Story on Page 22
With an E. coli outbreak in Germanyhaving sickened more than 2,500, afflicted650 or so with acute kidney failure and, asof June 8, killed 25, now might be a goodtime for the blinkered show horses on theHouse appropriation committee to recon-sider their deep cuts to the nation’s foodsafety budget.
Sure, budget-busting will make for goodtheater in upcoming Fourth of Julyspeeches back home, but it’s dumb publicpolicy to lower the nation’s food safety netin search of a few political applause lines.
The appropriation cuts hammer theFood and Drug Administration. Underthe committee plan, FDA’s fiscal year2012 food safety budget is axed from $955 million to$750 million, a 21 percent hit in the face and a 10percent cut to 2011’s $837 million budget.
House appropriators don’t stop there; the FDA’soverall FY 2012 discretionary funding is cut $284million, or 11.5 percent.
The GOP-led committee then turns to the U.S.Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspec-tion Service. The May 31 committee-passed bill saws$39 million from FY 2012 FSIS funding, dropping itto $972 million, or $34 million less than this year.
Next on the butcher block is the U.S. Departmentof Agriculture’s Animal and Plant and HealthInspection Service. The 2012 APHIS budget is sliced$73.6 million, or 8.5 percent.
The cuts to food safety budgets at both regulators— the USDA’s jurisdiction covers red meat, poultryand eggs; FDA’s almost all other foods — suggeststhe nation’s food safety problems are lessening.Almost every measure, however, proves the oppositetrue.
In fact, a random check of annual food recalls,safety alerts and “market withdrawals” by the FDAand the USDA shows both agencies busier now than— pick a year — before. For example, the FDA’s food-related actions rose from 241 in 2004 to 282 in 2010.Likewise, the USDA’s food recalls totaled 50 in 2004and 58 in 2010.
(Log on to www.farmandfoodfile.com for links tosupporting documents from the USDA, the FDA andthe House appropriations committee.)
Moreover, according to a Centers for Disease Con-
trol and Prevention report released June7, the number of rare E. coli-caused ill-nesses in the United States topped thosecaused by the more common E. coli0157:H7 for the first time in 2010. TheseE. coli, labeled non-0157s, are related tothe virulent strain fingered in the deadly,German E. coli outbreak.
Why more now? Two reasons, accordingto the CDC.
First, the government began looking for’em.
That’s a good thing because finding’em means we’re more able to preventfood panics like the one now sweeping
Europe where, in addition to death andcritical illness, farmers face an estimated $610 mil-lion-a-week drop in fruit and vegetable sales.
Second, “Pathogens evolve,” Dr. Elizabeth Hagen,USDA’s undersecretary for food safety, told the NewYork Times June 7. As such, she added, “I don’t thinkwe can afford to stand still while the pathogens areevolving around us.”
But the USDA and the FDA won’t be standing stillif House appropriators have their way. Both agencieswill be marching safety efforts backwards.
And when — not if — the next E. coli or salmonellaor other pathogen-fueled food scare occurs, the cutswill seem foolish, even stupid, in comparison to thepublic, personal and business cost of sickness, deathand lost markets.
It makes even less sense to cut food safety budgetsjust six months after Congress approved the mostsweeping food safety update since 1938, the FoodSafety Modernization Act, to tackle new, threateningpathogens in the global food chain.
Wait a minute. Is that what this is about: HouseRepublicans overwhelmingly voted against theFSMA last December and now, back in the majority,look to suffocate it by not funding it? This is politicsover public safety — elections and not E coli?
That’s really sick.

OPINION
FARM & FOOD FILE
By Alan Guebert
Like many of you,Memorial Day 2011 wasobserved in solemn andthankful gratitude forwhat this Americannational holiday is allabout. I’m certain everyreader has family, orfriends, or neighbors witha very personal connectionto this day which in vari-ous ways provokes us allto simply reflect.
Every communityacross Minnesota, acrossAmerica pays homage toits fallen warriors. Even if only for abrief 30-minute event, we are remindedof the price of freedom.
Inevitably it means sacrifice. Thenumbers are staggering.
At the Olivia National Guard ArmoryMay 30, the Olivia (Minn.) LegionChaplain, Dan Knight, presented the“roll call” of casualty numbers of U.S.military personnel for all the principalwars in which the United States hasparticipated. As Knight shared the
numbers, Olivia Girl Scoutsplaced a wreath of poppyflowers on wooden crossescommemorating each war.
I’m sharing these numbers with yousimply because we too readily, too eas-ily take freedom for granted. Check thenumbers above and I suspect you willhave a rude awakening as to how costlyAmerica’s battles have been.
To these shocking numbers we needto include the ongoing conflicts in Iraqand Afghanistan which collectivelyhave claimed nearly 6,000 U.S. militarypersonnel with more casualties contin-uing almost on a daily basis..
An equally grim reminder is theDepartment of Defense data listingprisoners of war and those missing inaction. According to the DOD, this cate-gory accounts for 83,609 additionalmilitary personnel; 73,792 of thoseoccurring in WWII; 8,001 in the KoreanWar, and 1,689 during the VietnamConflict.
Civil War data is for Union Forcesonly. According to the DOD, authorita-tive statistics for the Confederateforces are not available. Estimates of
the number served range from600,000 to 1,500,000.
The final report of the Provost Mar-shal General, 1863-65, indicated133,821 Confederate battle deathswith an estimated 26,000 to 31,000Confederate personnel died in Unionprisons. Thus the combined deathcount for the Civil War was an incredi-ble 498,332.
One should also include the assigna-tion of President Abe Lincoln as a “vic-tim” of this effort to preserve the unityof America.
Lincoln’s epic Gettysburg Addresshas only four paragraphs. But thosefew words of this great president con-tinue to resonate in the minds ofAmericans, both veterans and non-vet-erans. His concluding comments inessence clearly sum up Memorial Day.Lincoln said: “It is for us, the living,rather to be dedicated here to the

MINDS, from pg. 3unfinished workwhich they have, thusfar, so nobly carriedon. It is rather for usto be here dedicated tothe great task remain-ing before us — thatfrom these honoreddead we takeincreased devotion tothat cause for which they here gave thelast full measure of devotion — that wehere highly resolve that these deadshall not have died in vain; that thisnation shall have a new birth of free-dom; and that this government of thepeople, by the people, for the people,shall not perish from the earth.”
With casualties still occurring both inIraq and Afghanistan, the ugly truth isthat since 1775 more than 1.2 millionAmerican service personnel haveshared the ultimate on behalf of free-dom for the United States of America.

Like most of you, graduation recep-tions dominated late May, early June
weekendsfor my wifeand I. Andthe weathermen finallyunderstood, greatweather prevailed.
As expected after afew brief commentswith proud parents anda congratulatory wordor two to the new grad-
uates, conversation directly zeroed inon planting progress. Stress, futility,urgency, prevent planting, and from afew those strange words “We’re alldone, corn and soybeans.”
Perhaps this stressful season hasreawakened the virtues of neighborli-ness.
A farm wife said to me that it seemsthis challenging season has producednew camaraderie. “We’re all in thismess this year, some more so than oth-ers. I sensed a renewed willingness towork together if that’s what’s needed toget the job done,” said Jan Simonson,rural Fairfax, Minn. Her husband,Paul, a board member of the Minnesota
Soybean Growers couldn’tmake this particular Sun-
day graduation ceremonywhere I chatted with Jan. Paul washome planting soybeans.
Attend any graduation event and mynotebook often comes home a bit moreenriched. Like at our luncheon table(more like a full-meal dinner) June 5, aretired Hector area farmer who shallremain nameless but winters in theMesa, Ariz. area and always gets backfor the “fun of watching farming” inMinnesota asked me if I had anyfavorite paraprosdokians.
What? I asked.He told me the definition of that
weird word is “a figure of speech inwhich the latter part of a sentence orphrase is surprising, unexpected andfrequently turned with a bit of good
humor.”He pulled out a piece of paper and
simply said, “Here’s a few.” And sothey are:
• Do not argue with an idiot. He willdrag you down to his level and beatyou with experience.
• The last thing I want to do is hurtyou. But it’s still on my list.
• Where there’s a will, I want to bein it.
• Light travels faster than sound.That is why some people appearbright until you hear them speak.
• If I agree with you, we’d both bewrong.•••

In Gov. Mark Dayton’s State of the Stateaddress back in February, he spoke of a newemphasis on working with the state’s busi-ness leaders to create more good jobs forMinnesotans.
As we celebrate Dairy Month this year, it’sworth pointing out that in addition to pro-viding quality food for Minnesotans, ourdairy sector is also answering the gover-nor’s call by providing quality jobs andeconomic activity for the state.
Nearly 4,500 farm families producemilk and other dairy products in Minnesota.Together, these family farms provide us with morethan 1 billion gallons of milk and other dairy prod-ucts each year. Those numbers are impressiveenough, but when you factor in the related economicimpacts and activity generated by this milk produc-tion, the true impact of Minnesota dairy farmerscomes into focus.
When all impacts are factored in, Minnesota’sdairy sector supports 40,000 jobs around the state.The dairy sector also generates an amazing $11.5billion in total economic impact for the state.
Breaking it down a bit more, the average dairycow in Minnesota has a total economic impact ofnearly $25,000. That’s a lot of impact for any ani-mal, even one that can weigh more than a thousandpounds.
This economic impact isn’t just about Main Street.Dairy production also benefits other farmers by pro-
viding a steady market for locally grown cornand other feed. This creates stronger demandand higher values for Minnesota crops.
I am proud of our dairy industry, and I amproud that the Minnesota Department ofAgriculture plays a significant role in sup-porting our dairy industry in the state. Forexample:
• Our livestock development team helpsdairy farmers with issues such as facil-ity siting and permitting;• Our ag marketing services team pro-
motes Minnesota dairy products at home andabroad;
• Our Minnesota Farmer Assistance Network pro-gram and the Farm Advocate Program provide sup-port and assistance to dairy farmers facing financialand personal difficulties;
• Our Dairy and Food Inspection Division helpsprotect consumer confidence by providing effectiveand fair inspection and regulation of dairy farms,processors and retailers; and
• The state’s Rural Finance Authority, housedwithin the MDA, provides low-interest loans tobeginning dairy farmers and other farmers eager tobe a part of the state’s bright future.
If Minnesota is to have a healthy economy goingforward, it’s going to take a team effort. Building astronger state economy can’t just be a priority forGov. Dayton, legislators and other government offi-
cials. It must be a priority for all of us — farmers,teachers, Main Street business owners, Fortune 500CEOs, public and private sector employees, con-sumers and voters.
While we all have an important role to play, duringDairy Month I hope Minnesotans will join me inthanking our dairy farmers for the super-sized con-tribution they make to our economy and our qualityof life.

Sometimes, you just want to beleft alone.
Sometimes, you don’t needhelp or comfort, and you cer-tainly don’t need company. Youwant to think, solo, withoutanother body nearby. Or youwant to sulk, and it’s hard tosulk with a group.
Everybody clear out. You wantto be left alone.
In the new novel “The WindKnot” by John Galligan, Ned “Dog” Oglivie thoughthe was unaccompanied on his trip back to New Eng-land for his son’s birthday.
And then he found the corpse.Dog was done with fishing. He was done living in
his RV, done trying to run away from hurt, doneregretting. With a thousand bucks stashed away —payment from Dolf Cook for a fish that Dolf didn’tcatch — Dog was heading home. In three days, itwould be Eamon’s birthday.
Or would have been, except Eamon drowned in abathtub six years before. Heartbroken still, Dogtorched his fishing gear and quit. It was time toleave Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, through Wiscon-sin, and head to Massachusetts.
But somewhere near Chicago, Dog smelled it:nasty, like muddy body odor coming from his bunk.
“It” was Dolf ’sbrother, Heimo Kock,self-described “Gover-nor of the U.P.”,swollen and purple-bruised, with fly linewrapped tightlyaround his neck.
In a Tang-and-vodka-fueled panic, Dog turned theRV back toward Duluth. Somewhere in the North-woods, there had to be a place to drop Kock’s body...
Esofea Maria Smithback absolutely adored thebook “Pippi Longstocking”. So when she saw a manroll a body into the Two Hearted River, she wonderedWWPD? Surely, Pippi wouldn’t have allowed somevarmint-face to get away with murder? SurelyEsofea’s boyfriend-ex-boyfriend Danny Tervo wasinvolved.
Deputy Margarite DuCharme had all kinds of trou-bles. She’d tried to keep her personal life secret buther lover, Julia, got drunk at the community picnicand now everybody knew. Then there was her friend-ship with Sheriff Bruce Lodge, which was in questionbecause he thought she lied to him.
But the biggest problem was that just about every-body in Marquette County hated Heimo Kock. Andmany of them used the same kind of fly line thatkilled him.
Part romp, part mystery, part high-brow literature,
it could be argued that “The Wind Knot” can be hardto follow. One could say that it’s got an awful lot ofcharacters to keep track of. But, contentions asideand overall, it’s hard to argue with a hero like theDog, even though — surprisingly — Dog doesn’thave much to do in this book.
Galligan’s main hero is on the periphery this time,surrounded by eccentrics and scofflaws, still smart-ing from old pain. Those story keys lend a certainhumanity to the unlikely, grizzled fisherman-cum-detective: Dog is flawed, which makes it easy to lovehim and easy to love this novel.
For mystery fans who don’t mind a little literary-ness in their novels, “The Wind Knot” is a goodcatch. Reel in this book, and you won’t be able toleave it alone.

Summer appears tohave finally arrived herein the Upper Midwest,and with it, the challengesof managing livestock tominimize heat stress.
Pigs, in particular, canbe a real challenge, sincethey do not have func-tional sweat glands likemany other livestockspecies to assist them inefficiently removingbody heat.
Although most pigstoday are raised in modern facilitiesthat provide some control over thethermal environment, we are still lim-ited in most facilities with our abilityto cool pigs during extreme heat, andtherefore all possible options shouldbe considered.
Pigs naturally remove body heatduring periods of heat stress througha combination of accelerated respira-
tion, decreased feed intake,increased water consumptionand adjustments in physicalactivity and movement.
Respiration, the pigs’ pri-mary mode of heat dissipa-
tion, is increased byincreasing the respira-tory rate, thus allowingincreased heat loss
through evaporation from the lungs.Pigs breathing at rates greater than 50respirations per minute while restingwould indicate that heat stress isoccurring, and is the most effective wayto determine if pigs are overheated.
Voluntary feed intake is also reducedduring periods of heat stress. Thedigestion process involves an increasein heat production, and thus, reducing
feed intake results inless internal body heatbeing produced — how-ever, reduced feed intakealso results in reducedanimal performance and
production.Water consumption is increased as
much as six times over normal duringperiods of high heat, allowing the ani-mal to account for increased water lossdue to respiration and increased uri-nary excretion.
Similar to feed intake, animal move-ment is decreased during hot weatherin order to minimize heat productiondue to muscular contractions. Pigs willspread themselves out and lie apart,maximizing contact with concrete ormetal flooring or areas with moisturein order to optimize heat transfer fromthe body.
The presence of bedding material,such as straw, however, minimizes theability to remove body heat, furtherincreasing heat stress. As noted inTable 1, the thermoneutral range(range of temperatures where an ani-mal is most comfortable) is affected notonly by flooring type but also bodyweight, with larger animals not tolerat-ing higher temperatures as well.
How can pork producers minimizethe negative impact of hot weather ontheir animals?Preparation and maintenance ofcooling systems
Prior to extreme summer temps, cool-ing systems need to be checked toensure proper function. Ensure ther-mostats, fans, air inlets, drip coolers,sprinklers, cool cells and any other

PROFESSOR, from pg. 10related equipment are oper-ating correctly and are setfor summer usage.
The use of sprinklers along with fanscan reduce the effective temperature inbarns as long as the sprinklers are setcorrectly — sprinklers that produce afine mist will increase humidity levelsin the barn, reducing the effectivenessof minimizing heat transfer via evapo-ration and respiration, and thereforeshould be avoided. Similarly, cool cellswill be much more effective at lowerhumidity levels, and therefore ventila-tion systems should be adjusted toensure excess moisture is removedfrom buildings.Adjust the feeding program
Since pigs will reduce their voluntaryfeed intake during periods of high tem-peratures, increase the nutritional den-sity of the diet for growing pigs andlactating sows. Increasing the caloricdensity by including increased fat lev-els in the diet also reduces the amountof heat liberated by the pig whendigesting the feed, thus additionally
reducing the heatload.However, if other
nutrient levels are not also increasedaccordingly, animal performance willstill suffer due to deficiencies in thelevels of some nutrients.Modify procedures during load-outand transportation of pigs
Perhaps the most stressful time forpigs in periods of heat is during trans-portation.
Fast pigs that are going to market 12to 18 hours prior (remove feed, but notwater) — this will decrease gut fill inthe pigs during loading and transport,minimizing the heat of digestion whilealso reducing transport sickness.
Provide extra space in transportationtrailers by loading fewer pigs — airmovement is the main method of cool-ing pigs during transportation, soallowing extra space for air movementaround pigs is key along with keepingtransportation vehicles/trailers in con-stant motion along with opening up allvents and slats.
Also, try to avoid moving pigs during
the heat of the day, and allow moretime for loading of pigs. Pigs are muchmore apt to become fatigued during hotweather, and therefore additional timeand patience is required to effectivelyload pigs while minimizing stress, bothon the pig as well as the handler.

Grain AnglesPlanting struggles;
price volatilityAs we struggle to get the last, straggling acres
planted on the flood-challenged fields, the marketsroll in volatility.
If there ever was a year when the growing condi-tions will be critical, it is this year. Many expect thatcorn producers will take pre-vented planting crop insuranceon acres that were not planted byMay 31, because to profit oppor-tunities are so great. Yet, much ofthis will be determined by theweather that these acres receive.
The long-range forecast predictsU.S. Midwest weather conditions tobe wet and cool during the summer.June weather is seen as somewhatsimilar to what we experienced inMay. July and August are seen to bea transition from a wet and coolbias to more-normal weather.
The abundance of subsoil moisture and the gradualdrying will prevent a true drought from developingin the Corn Belt. Yet, significant dryness will remainin the southern Plains and the interior southeasternstates. The threat of LaNina returning this wintercould propel the southern drought into the Corn Beltfor the 2012 growing season.
As mentioned above, much of this year’s crop poten-tial will be determined by the weather that the late-planted acres receive. If the late-planted corn canavoid an early frost, with cool, wet growing condi-tions; large yields could develop.
In this event we will likely be struggling to drydown the crop for suitable storage. We would get thechance to try out all of the new grain drying setupsthat we installed last year and didn’t need to stresstest. We may want to start looking at securing drying
Grain OutlookSomething for
everybodyThe following market analysis is for the week end-
ing June 10.CORN — Corn was the headliner this week as it
had something for everyone. Improving weather andcrop prospects in the United States and Europe, aswell as a stronger U.S. dollar andprofit-taking, resulted in heavyselling to start the week. Russiaalso announced that they mayhave more grain to export thanpreviously expected, maybe anadditional 236 million bushels.
The “official” start to the fundroll began on Tuesday (fifth busi-ness day of the month proceedingdelivery). This usually involvesselling long nearby positions andbuying deferred months. Theresult was lower markets and anarrowing of the inverse betweennew crop and old crop months.The fund rolling however wasn’t able to keep themarket down when the U.S. dollar lost momentumand the pipeline of nearby corn slowed to a trickle.Basis levels around the Midwest, particularly in theEast, jumped higher to attract bushels. It was inter-esting that there was some talk that an easternethanol plant was exploring using soft red winterwheat instead of corn to produce ethanol due to price.
Demand popped back on the radar on the heels ofrecord heat across the Midwest to prompt a returnof buyers into the market the day before the U.S.Department of Agriculture report. Ethanol produc-tion last week was at its highest level since Januaryand the second highest in history. We also haven’tseen any cancellations of corn into the southeasternU.S. markets in favor of feed wheat, keeping thecompetition for corn hot. Watch corn exports since
Livestock AnglesSupply, demandbit out of sorts
As we move into June, the livestock markets aretrying to recover from a fairly sharp sell-off.
Supply and demand seem to be a bit out of sortscausing the recent weakness: plenty of supply and awaning demand picture for both cattle and hogs.
Cattle have had a rathersevere drop in price over the past30 days, all precipitated by theincrease in market-ready cattleand softening demand for beef.The number of cattle on feed iswell above year-ago levels givingthe packer plenty of inventory toselect from particularly in thesouthern feeding areas.
Export business has slippedduring this period and with theinclement weather here in thestates, grilling season is off to aslow start hurting domesticdemand. As we move through June and the weatherbecomes more cooperative, expect the seasonal demandfor beef to increase as the cookout season gets into fullswing. This should bring about a stabilization of cattleprices and a recovery for a short period of time.
The fact that our economic situation is still weakdoes not bode well for a long-lasting upward move inprices. Therefore, a brief recovery is in order followedmore than likely with a stagnation of prices and thepossibility of further weakness later this summer.
Producers are urged to keep abreast of market con-ditions and use rallies to protect summer and fallinventories.
Likewise, the hog market has seen prices tumbleover the past 30 days, but not quite as severe as thecattle. Supplies of market-ready hogs remains ade-quate to meet current demand and packers have

NYSTROM, from pg. 12Australian feed wheat isestimated to be $60-$90 perton cheaper into Asian markets than U.S. corn. Mex-ico entered the buying arena this week with pur-chases for both the 2011-12 and 2012-13 crop years,549 thousand metric tons and 274 tmt respectively.
The June USDA report left the 2010-11 balance sheettotally unchanged. Ending stocks were steady at 730million bushels when expectations were for a drop to706 million bushels. The 2011-12 balance sheet changeswere: Acreage cut from 92.2 to 90.7 million acres, yieldunchanged at 158.7 bushels per acre, production down305 million to 13.2 billion, feed usage down 100, endingstocks 695 million vs. 900 last month and 771 esti-mated. The ending stocks-to-use ratio is a tight 5.2 per-cent vs. 6.7 percent estimated last month and this year’s5.4 percent. Tight world supplies added to the bullishsentiment that has prevailed in the markets when end-ing stocks were cut by 17.25 mmt to 111.89 mmt for newcrop. This would be the smallest world ending stocksnumber since 2006-07’s 110 mmt figure.
The June USDA crop production report propelledall corn contracts to new contract highs the day ofthe report, although the market was slightly disap-pointed when they couldn’t reach the 30-cent dailylimit. July corn this week hit $7.99 3⁄4, the highestlevel ever for a spot month.
OUTLOOK: In spite of a larger-than-expected car-ryout this year, the cash market is telling us thatthere is not enough corn moving into the pipeline.
Basis levels continue to scream higher and oldcrop prices rallied in spite of the increased
forecast for this year’s ending stocks. New cropshould have limited downside until we see the June30 planted acreage report and are closer to the Julyweather forecasts. Be prepared for when the getscomfortable with balance sheets and decides to de-risk. Until then, we wait for the June 30 reports. Willacreage on the June 30 report be higher or lowerthan on this week’s report? This week, July corn wasup 33 cents at $7.87 and the December contract was26 1⁄4 cents higher at $7.12 1⁄2. Although there arealways setbacks in bull markets, the trend is higher.
SOYBEANS — When July soybeans failed topunch through $14.00 early in the week, pricesplunged on the same news that influenced corn —improving weather, weak outside markets, and profittaking. Post-report trading erased much of the earlylosses, but not all, as beans were pulled back by astrong corn market and fund buyers.
The June USDA crop production report was mod-estly bearish to soybeans with ending stocks for bothold and new crop larger than expected. On the 2010-11 balance sheet, exports were cut 10 million bushelsfor a resulting increase in ending stocks from 170million to 180 million bushels, but near expectations.The 2011-12 balance sheet lowered exports by 20 mil-lion bushels to push ending stocks from 160 to 190million bushels. This was much larger than the pre-report estimate of 170 million bushels. There were nochanges to the 76.6 million planted acres and 43.4
bu./acre forecasts for the 2011/2012 crop.South American supplies are readily available to
buyers and production there may reach record levels.China’s crush margins are failing. Soybean demandis being supported by reduced crushing caused bysome plant closing/reduced production due to flood-ing along the Missouri River. U.S. soybean plantingas of June 5 was 68 percent complete versus the 5-year average of 84 percent complete. Emergence was44 percent (versus 61 percent average), so we maysee our first condition report on June 12.
OUTLOOK: Any soybean upside will be hinderedby improving planting/development weather, limiteddemand, ample U.S. and world supplies, and a bal-ance sheet with a bearish bias. Downside will be lim-ited until the June 30 planted acreage report whenthe market can better assess how many acres wereswitched to beans and how many were flooded out inthe Delta and along the Missouri River. A well-sup-ported corn market may also limit the downside insoybeans for the time being. July soybeans weredown 27 1⁄4 cents this week at $13.87 1⁄4 and theNovember contract was off 15 1⁄4 cents at $13.81 3⁄4per bushel. Soybeans will probably be draggedhigher by corn; keep an eye on weather and demand.

TEALE, from pg. 12been at times reluctant to be aggressive in biddinghigher for inventory. The overall supply of hogsappears to remain fairly steady and withoutrenewed demand for pork, rapid or long-term ralliesdo not appear to be in the future.
Export business has softened in recent weeks addingto the weakness in hog prices during the period.Because of the competitive situation between meats,
look for pork to command more interest by the con-sumer as prices are well discounted to other meats.
In the short term, further weakness could beexpected as the market searches for a summer low.This will likely be followed by a short-term rally intothe later summer months. With domestic discre-tionary spending continuing to shrink, another roundof weaker prices will likely come again into the falland producers are suggested to use this strength tolock-in inventories through the end of the year.

These types of conditions drive the markets crazyand wear everyone out who find their livelihood tied tothem. People lose sleep over making marketing deci-sions, for so much money rides on each move that wemake in buying or selling our grain. If there ever was atime to become students of our businesses; it is now.
Becoming a student of our business entails study-ing and using the best production practices on atimely basis. It involves knowing our cost of produc-tion and finding ways to lower them without compro-mising production. It involves taking that cost ofproduction and coupling it with market intelligenceto discover sound marketing strategies and opportu-nities. It involves generating and maintaining thehighest standards of accounting and record keeping.
In the competitive, volatile environment that wefind ourselves in today, the use of the best accountingand record keeping practices is a Grain Angle thatwill separate the winners from the losers. I knowthat this statement sounds harsh, but it is what willgive one the edge when it comes to growing andmaintaining the financial health of your business.
Those with the best records and reports will havethe edge when it comes to acquiring new land to farm.This edge will also be found when it comes to securingfinancial support from lenders, investors or partners.
Given all of the volatility and uncertainty that weexperience in our lives and businesses today, wemust remember that we cannot control everything.We in farm country know this all too well. Yet we dohave control over many of our managerial practicesand this will be an angle that can lead to success.

Cash cheese prices at theChicago Mercantile Exchangesaw a fourth week of gain,jumping almost 50 cents in theperiod, and reached levels notseen since June 2008. The 40-pound blocks closed the secondFriday of June Dairy Month at$2.11 per pound, up 6 cents onthe week, and 74 centsabove a year ago. The500-pound barrelsclosed at $2.0675, up10.75 cents on the week, and 73.75 cents above ayear ago. Seven cars of block and none of barreltraded hands on the week. The National AgriculturalStatistics Service-surveyed U.S. average block pricehit $1.7083, up 5.1 cents from the previous weekwhile the barrels averaged $1.76, up 7.2 cents.
The run-up in cheese prices was triggered in partby a problem with a Dalhart, Texas, cheese maker,Hilmar Cheese. The company put a hold on about 15million pounds of product which was produced fromApril 19 to May 4 because of “plastic contamination.”Once the dust settles, prices will likely ease back.
Bill Van Dam, of the Alliance of Western Milk Pro-ducers, reported in his weekly newsletter that rumorhad it that range of dates was extended and that asmuch as 30 million pounds might be involved, and aHilmar letter informing its customers was datedMay 28, so Van Dam said “It’s likely the marketknew something was amiss at the beginning of theweek,” and “because this is a very significant volumeto suddenly disappear from the fresh cheese market,buyers quite understandably started bidding forcheese,” though only one sale of block took place.
Repeated calls to Hilmar resulted in the followingstatement: “Hilmar Cheese Company, Incorporatedidentified and corrected a production issue affectingspecific 40-pound block cheese manufactured in ourDalhart, Texas, facility. Dalhart production of 40-pound blocks from May 18th forward is clear.”
“We are working through the situation coopera-tively with our customers. All other production inDalhart and all production in our Hilmar, Calif.,facility were not affected. Early reports significantlyexaggerated the volume involved. We have andalways will act with an overabundance of cautionwith regard to the integrity of the products we pro-vide to our customers.”
Dairy media was frustrated in trying to obtaininformation that could have been reported days ago,rumors quenched, and perhaps averted an unneces-sary run up in the market.

Cash butter, after dropping almost 4cents the previous week, continued tohead down this week, though it rallied3 cents Thursday, and closed Friday at$2.13, down 1.25 cents on the week, butstill 52 cents above a year ago. Four-teen cars were sold on the week. NASSbutter averaged $2.1244, up 7.8 cents.
Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closedFriday at $1.65, up three-quarter cents,and Extra Grade held all week at$1.61. NASS powder averaged $1.6381,up 1.2 cents, and dry whey averaged51.56 cents, also up 1.2 cents.
Whey added about 10 percent to theMay Class III value, according to theUniversity of Wisconsin’s Dr. BrianGould in Tuesday’s DairyLine broad-
cast. The May wheyvalue was almost 50
cents, he said, up fromthe typical 25 to 35 cents and histori-cally contributes 5 percent or less tothe Class III price, he said.
The CME’s Daily Dairy Report says“International whey prices have firmedin the last two months, providing sup-port to U.S. markets” and that “spotand futures prices have risen despitegrowing production and inventories.”
In the first four months of the year,U.S. dry whey output was up 12.3 per-cent from two years ago, according tothe DDR, and dry whey stocks on April30 were 56.3 million lbs., up 35 percentin five months, the highest figure forthat date since 1999, according to U.S.Department of Agriculture data.
Looking “back to the futures;” theClass III contract’s average for the lasthalf of 2011 was $17.64 per hundred-weight on May 6, $17.49 on May 13,$18.22 on May 20, $18.39 on May 27,and $18.72 on June 3.

MIELKE, from pg. 15feed costs will impact profitability andthe dairy cow inventory is expected todecline in 2012. Tighter feed supplieswill also likely impact the rate of
increase of milk percow. As a result, themilk production forecastfor 2012 is reduced 200 million poundsfrom last month, to 198.5 billion.
Commercial exportswere forecast higher for
2011 largely due tostronger expected cheese exports. But,imports of cheese and milk proteins havebeen stronger than expected so the importforecasts for 2011 and 2012 were raised.
Dairy product price forecasts wereraised from last month. “Butter suppliesare tight and demand for cheese, nonfatdry milk, and whey are expected to sup-port product prices,” according to USDA.

In the fall of 2010, SheilaBair, chair of the FederalDeposit Insurance Corp.,raised a few eyebrows whenshe suggested that we couldbe headed for a “farmlandfinancial bubble” due to therapid increase in farmlandvalues in recent years.
The FDIC oversees thefinancial health of many ofthe community banks thatare involved in agriculturallending. Since that time,the Kansas City Fed-eral Reserve Bank hasalso raised similar con-cerns, which raises the question: Arewe headed for a “financial bubble” inland values?
Average farmland values across theUnited States nearly doubled in actualdollar value in the decade from 2000 to2010, and increased by approximately58 percent on an inflation-adjustedbasis. Average land values in Iowaincreased by 16 percent in 2010, com-pared to a year earlier, and nearly dou-bled from 2003 to 2006, before showinga slight decline in 2009.
More recent land sales data showedthat Iowa’s average farmland value
increased by nearly 20 per-cent in a six-month periodfrom September 2010 toMarch 2011. Land valueshave also been increasing inother Midwestern states,though not quite as dra-matic as the land valueincreases in Iowa. SouthernMinnesota land values havealso increased considerablyin the past few years, with amajority of sales in the past
12 months for high-qual-ity, tillable farmlandbeing in a range of
$4,500 to $6,000 peracre, or higher.
Both the FDIC and the FederalReserve Bank raised concerns thatfarmland values may have risen toofast, based on the rapid increase incommodity prices in recent years andthe low interest rates to finance realestate. They are concerned that a sud-den drop in commodity prices, alongwith an increase in interest rates,could result in a major downwardadjustment in land values. Some havesuggested that a significant increase inag real estate interest rates couldcause average land values to drop by as
much as one-third, which could resultin financial challenges for some of thenearly 1,600 banks that are heavilyinvolved in agricultural lending.
In the late-1990s, we saw “asset bub-bles” in the technology industry andthe stock market, which was repeatedin recent years in the U.S. housingmarket, both of which led to significanteconomic recessions in the UnitedStates. However, even the most pes-simistic analysts agree that any adjust-ment in farmland values is not likely tohave the national impact that the“housing market bubble” of the past
few years has had on the economy. Thetotal U.S. value of housing assets isabout $16 trillion, compared to abouta total $2 trillion in farmland assets.The economic impact of a significantdrop in farmland values would likelybe more regionalized in areas of thecountry with a strong agriculturalcomponent.
Some of the FDIC analysts havedrawn comparisons to the rapid rise inland values in the 1970s, followed bythe farm financial collapse in the1980s. The early 1970s were domi-

PROGRAMS, from pg. 17nated by high inflation rates, relatively low interestrates and a sharp decline in the value of the dollarcompared to other currencies, which lead to a rapidincrease in agricultural exports. Crop pricesreceived by farmers tripled from 1970 to 1975, andaverage net farm incomes in the 1970s were nearlydouble the average net farm incomes of the 1960s.
Average farmland values in theUnited States increased by 350 per-cent from 1970 to 1982, while at thesame time, farmers added bigger machinery and newtechnologies, allowing them to farm more acres in amore efficient manner, in the same amount of time.Much of the increase in land values, as well as theaddition of capital assets, on U.S. farms during thatperiod was through rapidly increasing farm debt.
Total farm debt in the United Statesincreased from $52 billion in 1970 to
over $207 billion in 1983.Almost unlimited credit was available to farmers
in the late-1970s and early 1980s from a variety ofag lenders. Most lenders based farm real estatefinance decisions on the collateral value of the farm-land, which was increasing at a phenomenal rateeach year, and paid little attention to debt repay-ment capacity or cash flow ability. By the end of the1970s, the Federal Reserve Bank switched its mone-tary policies to control inflation, and began raisinginterest rates. By 1981, the prime interest ratereached an almost unthinkable rate of 21.5 percent,resulting in high interest rates for farmers who hadbuilt up a significant amount of term debt during thelate-1970s and early 1980s.
The impact was almost immediate on highly lever-aged farmers, and average values of farmlanddropped by 50 percent in the mid-1980s from thepeak land values in 1981. This was the beginning ofthe “1980s farm crisis” which resulted in thousandsof farm foreclosures across the Midwest, and lead tothe failure of 3,000 banks during the 1980s, mostlyin rural areas.
Currently, most people associated with agricultureare “bullish” about commodity prices, land valuesand the overall agriculture economy, which is similarto the late-1970s. Usually, when everyone is thinkingone direction is when things change, and sometimesthose changes can occur quite rapidly. Just look whathappen to the home real estate market across theUnited States in the last three years. Even with thestrong agriculture economy that currently exists, onewonders how many farmers are adequately preparedfor a sudden reduction in grain exports, resulting ina rapid drop in grain prices, along with lower farmprofits and potentially higher interest rates. Hereare some “yellow caution flags” to think about withtoday’s agriculture economy.

PROGRAMS, from pg. 18ble the cost of productionfive to six years ago.
• Land rental rates are also starting to rise quitedramatically in many areas, with increases of 30 to50 percent in the past two to three years in somelocations.
• The increased cost of production, combined withthe higher land rents in most areas, means that formost producers the break-even price for corn produc-tion is now near $4 per bushel, and $9.50/bu. for soy-beans. These figures could rise even higher in 2011in areas with reduced yields due to late planting andpoor growing conditions. Something to keep in mindif the grain prices start to drop rapidly.
• What will happen to grain prices if export mar-kets start to soften in the next couple of years, or ifthere is reduced grain demand for livestock produc-tion or renewable fuel production, due to high grainprices or limited grain supplies?
• What would be the impact on grain prices, landvalues, the farm economy, etc., of some worldwideevent, such as a terrorist attack, disease outbreak,etc., in the next 12 to 24 months?
• If land is purchased at today’s prices, will thatland purchase still be economically viable at$3.50/bu. corn prices and $8.50/bu. soybean prices?
• Are farm businesses adequately prepared from arisk management standpoint to withstand a majordownturn in the agriculture economy in the next oneto two years?
• Are farmers paying adequate attention to overallfarm debt levels and the repayment capacity forterm loans that have been added in recent years forpurchases of land and other capital assets?
Does the current strong commodity prices andexcellent average net farm incomes in recent years,along with the rapid increase in farmland values,automatically mean that we are headed for a repeatof the “1980s farm crisis”? Not necessarily, as there
are a lot of differences in the financial manage-ment of farmers now, compared to the 1970sand 1980s. Many farmers are in a much
sounder financial position today than they were inthe early 1980s, and most ag lenders have taken amuch more strategic approach on their lending prin-ciples, as compared to a few decades ago.
Following are some key reasons why farm busi-nesses and ag lenders might be in a stronger positiontoday on financing agricultural real estate than theywere in the 1980s.
• There is a good chance that ag commodity priceswill face volatility over the next few years, and willincur some periods of lower prices; however, pricesare not likely to stay extremely low over severalyears, given the strong world demand for grain thatexists.
• The average farm debt-to-asset ratio in theUnited States has declined considerably in recentyears, and is now only 10 percent, which is wellbelow average farm debt levels in the 1980s.
• Much of the farmland today is being purchasedby well-established farmers, who are combining thiswith other owned and rented land, limiting the over-all cash flow impact.
• Many farmers are paying 50 percent or moredown on the land parcels that they purchase, andthus are only financing 50 percent or less of the pur-chase price, as compared to financing 75 to 80 per-cent in the 1980s.
• Most ag lenders are limiting how much they willborrow on farmland purchases, both in terms of per-cent of purchase cost, as well as total dollars peracre, which provides some room for a downwardadjustment in land values.
• Most ag lenders are looking at debt repaymentcapacity and cash flow ability of farm businesses
before they finalize loans for farmland purchases,and are factoring in potential downturns in landvalues and commodity prices.Bottom line
Prospects look good for 2011 and 2012 from a farmprofitability standpoint, especially in the crop sec-tor, as well as for the overall ag economy in theUnited States, and interest rates will likely remainlow for both farm operating loans and longer-termloans. This scenario is likely to result in continuedstrong demand and prices for Midwest farmlandduring the next couple of years.
However, producers, ag lenders and others con-nected to the agriculture industry need to heed thewarnings issued by the FDIC and the FederalReserve Bank, and be wary of the “yellow cautionflags” that things could be changing in regards tofarm profitability and loan repayment ability, thusaffecting farmland purchase decisions.
Overall, farm businesses and ag lenders may bebetter positioned today than in the early 1980s towithstand a downturn in the agriculture economy,but there are still many farmers who could be quitevulnerable to sudden changes in farm profitability.
Farmers need to work with their farm manage-ment advisers and ag lenders to develop sound riskmanagement and financial management strategiesto protect the financial stability of their farm busi-nesses when considering land purchases.

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer
Conformation is OK but milk in thetank pays the bills.
That, in a nutshell, is the businessphilosophy of Brad Nosbush, 47, as hedescribed the economics of NosbushDairy, a 650-cow dairy operation inFairfax, Minn.
“We have always chosen very heavyon production and economic traits,less so on conformation traits,” Nos-bush said of his family operation, runwith his brothers David and Leroy.“Our emphasis is on profitability soeconomic traits are the single mostimportant criteria in our entire breed-ing and selection process.”
They use a variety of genetic lines toavoid inbreeding, however the empha-sis is for elite sires expressing strongeconomic traits. The results areimpressive.
• Their herd right now has the No. 8genomic-tested cow in the world.
• Those 650 cows average slightlyover 29,000 pounds of milk per cow.
• Those 650 cows are also averaging1,184 pounds of fat and 919 pounds ofprotein.
• They are now selling short-bredheifers overseas into Turkey.
• Fertilized embryos may soonbecome another marketing opportunity.
Owning the No. 8 ranked genomic-tested cow in the world puts specialemphasis on embryo transfer possibil-ities. “Getting more offspring out ofthis animal is the goal,” Nosbush said.
He said the U.S. Department ofAgriculture, in cooperationwith major bull studs, hasmapped the bovine genome(inheritance genes) and thanksto some remarkable technology,scientists can determine anincredible amount of informa-tion from a single hair samplepulled from a cow’s switch.
“This used to take years andyears as you waited for thatcow’s daughters and sons to beproven. Now from offspring atone-day of age you can pull ahair sample and identify eliteindividuals easier, cheaper,obviously much quicker andwith greater accuracy.”
He’s somewhat cautiousabout the future of the fertil-ized embryo business, however.“There’s potential but withgenetics you’re dealing withthe bell-shaped curve and youneed to find that individual atthe extreme right side withmultiple standard deviationsabove her parent’s average,”said Nosbush, who was pursuing a doc-torate degree at the University of Wis-consin until deciding on a career inmilk production with his two brothers.
“Sure, if you get the luck-of-the draw,there could be some profit potential inthe embryo business. But we wouldnever be able to sell embryos to largesegments of the market because somany segments are conformation ori-ented,” Nosbush said. He added thatmilk will always be 90 percent of theirgross income even though they may be
able to tack on a few additional“income points” here and there.
He’s not putting down conformationbecause it’s part of sustainability inthe dairy business. “There is so muchselection on udder conformation thatwe don’t worry about that issue.Instead we concentrate on the eco-nomic traits of sire selection.”
Their three-times-a-day milkingschedule also greatly lessens udder con-cerns. “You have considerably lessstress on the udder simply because itnever gets as many pounds at any giventime. For us our 3X schedule improvesboth udder quality and milk quality.
“Also, I’m not so big on feet andlegs because the rest of the indus-try puts so much effort on thatcategory. Instead we put moreemphasis on productive life.Udder traits and foot and legtraits are indirect measurementsof a cow’s longevity. Productive lifeis a very measurable direct trait.And it’s milk in the tank each daythat keys the productive life ofeach animal,” Nosbush said.
They average about four lacta-tions per cow. Having too manyfemales is an ongoing issue butbecause of high productivity thishas become a marketing plus.“We’re always selling females,either heifers or cows, generallyto other producers.
“Because of high feed costs it’sa huge advantage to have mod-erate-sized, trouble-free cowsthat are good milk producersrather than having a big, beauti-ful cow that doesn’t give enoughmilk to feed the cats but eats alot,” Nosbush said.Market angles
Does the strengthening of milk andcheese prices suggest some sustain-ability in marketing?
“When you look at futures today theylook good,” he said. “Subtract out feedcosts, however, and milk prices are cer-tainly not excessive. Futures are levelright now but in reality I don’t antici-pate that our ‘pay price’ will be level.We’ll do some hedging to assure that weget to be in the game again next year.”

NOSBUSH, from pg. 22bypassing potential opportunities?Nosbush said they are lightly hedgedcurrently but do have some price pro-tection through their livestock grossmargin insurance. “We’re contemplat-ing some more hedging,” he said. “It’salways difficult locking in a pricebecause you might be wrong.”
But the flip side is locking in enoughprofit to keep you in the game. Headmits to “betting wrong” in 2008, butin 2009, “we were right by a whole lot.While other people couldn’t sleep we gotto keep enjoying being dairy producers.”
Livestock gross margin insurance isa USDA offering somewhat compara-ble to crop insurance. In essence youare protecting a dollar amount of yourmilk price which keeps the bottomfrom falling out should milk prices fall.Feed issues
Being a 29,000-pound herd means lotsof feed consumption. “Our rations arevery basic with corn silage and haylage.
Our 3X schedule is important. But otherthings like sand bedding and having across-ventilated barn and parlor are bigfactors. Also grouping strategies (bysize) permits different feeding levels.
“Special attention that first monthafter calving is another reason. If shestays healthy, she’ll do well. But let afew things slip through the cracks rightafter calving and it’s a battle that entirelactation. We put a lot of effort keepingthem healthy rather than curing themafter they are sick,” Nosbush said.
Their herd is divided into fourgroups, with a specific ration mixed foreach group. Because of improvementsin the nutrition modeling programsdairy producers have been able toratchet down crude protein by balanc-ing carbohydrate and protein frac-tions. “Our crude protein levels are 1 to2 percent lower than they were 10years ago and we’re feeding only two-thirds as much phosphorous. Thatmeans lower phosphorous levels in the
manure which means lower phospho-rous levels in our fields which is sim-ply better for the environment.”Manure management
Manure storage is in clay-linedearthen basins and field applied eachfall plus some spring pumping to alle-viate uncertainty about storage capac-ity. Spring applications are done with adrag hose to nearby fields for directinjection; fall application to more dis-tant fields is transported via manure
tankers or semi transports.There is a ready market to neigh-
boring farmers for some of theirmanure but currently their own fieldsof corn and alfalfa consume virtuallyevery gallon produced. “We realizethat manure is valuable. We’ve hadrequests for manure. We are slowlyincreasing our land base to match upwith our manure capacity.”

NOSBUSH, from pg. 23They are cognizant of the importance of good
records, especially when it comes to manure man-agement. Their 16-page manure management docu-ment details application dates for every field, evenincluding application rates.
Dried distillers grains (from the ethanol industry)have been in their ration for several years, plus beetpulp in season. “But right now DDGs are out of theration because of price. I think that’s a short-termphenomenon. But today it’s a whole new worldwhen it comes to feeding. We watch our rationsclosely. That’s the No. 1 expense of making milk. Weused to feed a cow for $2.30 a day, but now it’s about$5 a day. Needless to say, we’re always looking atrations,” Nosbush said.
Expansion and/or upgrades with new equipment,new technologies have been yearly experiences dat-ing back to 1994, the year of their first expansionwhich was their first free-stall barn. Evolutionseems inevitable in the dairy business these days.
“We’re probably not done building; we’re just done atthis site.”Good people
Labor is frequently an issue in the dairy businessbut start with good people, compensate fairly includ-ing special benefits and labor issues are minimal.
“Some of our employees have been with us 15years,” Nosbush said. “They’re dependable. We paythem very well for that performance. As an example,the last two months we have been under 100 somaticcell count. That generates a good premium and is atremendous indicator of cow health, especially udderhealth. All our employees to a tremendous job.”
Besides more production, that 3X schedule alsogives milkers more flexibility. For example, two milk-ers do the morning milk six days a week (six, six-hour shifts per week); the other milkers doing boththe noon and night-time milking work four, 11-hourshifts each week. Milking is in a 32-cow parlor, with16 cows each side.
“Our milkers establish a routine and they make itlook effortless,” he said. “I’ve had to step in a time ortwo to help out and they just put me to shame withtheir speed and efficiencies. I used to think I was a
pretty fast milker, but I can’t keep up with the guysand gals we’ve got on the milk lines today. They getso proficient at this task. And if you are calm andquiet, so too are the cows calm and quiet, and thenit’s a much easier job.
“Good cow care and proper cow handling is a bigpart of success in dairy farming. ... We typically runhigher components and since we’re paid on pounds offat and pounds of protein, we do put lots of emphasison cow care and nutrition.”
The benefits of super attention are obvious. For 13consecutive years, Nosbush Dairy has won the Qual-ity Achievement Award from 1st District at Litch-field, Minn., receiver of the approximately 6,000 gal-lons of milk produced each day by this dairyoperation. The herd averages 85 to low-90 pounds ofmilk per cow per day. “We don’t have extended lacta-tions followed with 150 dry days. Generally we’remilking 90 percent of our cows each day.”
■

When asked why she’s a fan ofrobotic milking, Clare Palmquistsimply said, “I’m not a big fan of get-ting up at 5 o’clock!”
Actually 5 a.m. is still her usualwake up time but now it’s a stress-free occurrence.
Why? Because two new DeLaval robotic systems now
occupy the west end of their new 82-foot by 232-foot,143-cow free-stall dairy barn on their MorrisonCounty, Minn., farm, 3 miles south and 1 3/4 mileseast of Pierz.
With robotic milkers, cows set their own scheduleas to when they wish to be milked, and how often.You don’t even need to be on the scene. Howeverrobotic milking has brought much more into thelives of Dean Marshik and Clare Palmquist.
“Perhaps the biggest plus is the reduction in phys-ical stress on our bodies. And it has made our sched-ules much more flexible. If we’re invited to a wed-ding we don’t have to run home at 4 p.m. to milk thecows,” Palmquist said. “It’s just a different manage-ment style. Instead of milking, we’re managing.”Still learning
Into their new system only since Feb. 1, bothMarshik and Palmquist admit the learning curve isstill steep for them, and apparently same of theircows. “We still have some older cows that we have to‘escort’ to the milking gate but once it opens they’reperfectly relaxed. Just like us older people, oldercows are slow to change theirhabits,” said Marshik, 50,who started milking when hewas 9 years old.
Talk about remarkabletechnology. When they travel,their laptop travels withthem. “We can check theentire operation via computer.We spent Easter with mybrother and his wife. Once when checking our com-puter, I noticed that the cows in one VMS (voluntarymilking system, the ‘assembly area’ prior to access-ing the robotic) weren’t getting milked correctly. Itold the computer to have the camera cleaned, andthen the issue stopped.
“Apparently the camera lens collected some smearcausing a malfunction of some of the prep details,”Palmquist said. Indeed one has to see a robotic sys-tem function to comprehend the multiple tasks beingperformed as part of each milking operation.
It works about like this: A computer scans an IDcollar tag to properly identify each cow upon entryinto the milking chamber. Then an exact amount ofgrain or “cow candy” is dispensed to match therequirements of that particular cow. Next the systemdisinfects and washes the teats, then it fastens thecups starting with the right/rear quarter teat.
Because each quarter produces a different amountof milk, the robot in essence milks each quarter sep-
arately, and teat cups drop offsequentially. Once cups are off, therobot moves them aside and theudder is again disinfected prior tothat cow being discharged back tothe free-stall area where foragefeeds, water and two automaticback scratchers are available.Change is good
Reflecting on their change fromtie-stall and pipeline milking, Marshik said, “we’regetting into that age where we’ll soon be looking atretirement. So in essence we had two options: a)stick with the old barn and milk it out ’til there’snothing left and then selleverything off, or b) Iwant this to be a dairyfarm into the future soyou build somethingshould a family memberwant to take over, orsomeone else can pur-chase. Anything making aprofit is salable.”
Their oldest son, Daniel,27, is currently in the Navy but after “seeing theworld” is expressing interest in coming back to Min-nesota and milking cows. Daughter Rachael Maus,24, attends Minnesota School of Business and ismarried to a dairy farmer. Tony, 21, attends the Uni-versity of North Dakota majoring in chemical engi-neering and pre-law so he isn’t a likely dairy farmercandidate. Jessica, 21, is a criminal law major at St.Cloud State University.
Their older barn handled only 81 cows so the tran-sition to robotics included adding
several “new faces” into themilking lineup. Robot sys-tems can accommodate about70 cows but right now theirsystem is doing 61 cows perrobot. “We won’t ramp up to70 cows until all cows, espe-cially the older ladies, arerelaxed about the system.”
Information overload“There is so much information in the system that
we have not yet gotten a full handle on how to totallymanage what it offers. But we’re getting better, dayby day, and so are the cows. For our younger family,this is a second language. For Dean and me it’s a lit-tle bit slower,” she said.
An indicator of progress is that somatic cell countis about 160,000 to 170,000, Marshik said, downfrom 270,000 to 300,000 in the older setup. He’s alsonoting that for their cow size, stalls are just a bit toolong and too wide so messy stalls occasionally arehappening.
Milking frequency, still in a transitional mode forsome cows, averages about 2.1 milkings per 24hours. “We have some going through three times aday; a couple are in there four times a day but there’sstill a lot of them getting used to the system, and thefrequency that best fits them. We still have about 20cows that need some assistance. They stand in frontof the robot gate and just a nudge from us and they’ll
go on through,” Marshik said.Palmquist said, “We were told by other robotic
farmers that there are some cows that are so used tohuman interaction that they have some difficultyadjusting to the robotic system. Some of our cowssimply are friendlier. They sort of want us to ‘holdtheir hands’ ’til they get used to this new technology.”
Getting back to that “cow candy” mentioned ear-lier, right now it’s mostly linseed meal, soy hulls,carmel flavoring; sort of an appetizer menu to drawthem into the parlor. Higher producing cows get upto 8.9 pounds of cow candy per day (equally dis-pensed each milking) with a 5-pound base regard-
less of production.Rubber mattresses and
chopped straw providesleeping comfort for eachcow. A mechanical scrapercleans concrete floorsbehind the free stallstwice daily. Bedding ischanged every third daywith dehydrated lime alsothen applied.
Marshik admits that milk production has slippedslightly during this adjustment period to just under22,000 pounds per cow currently. “The late lactationand mid-lactation cows were most affected,” he said,but indicated that it’s still too early to make predic-tions.Big investment
Robotic systems aren’t cheap costing about$250,000 per system (70-cow maximum capacity).However, the couple’s investment was significantlymore because they permitted and built the manuresystem for future expansion of another 140 cows.Everything, even runoff control from open lots, wasbuilt to accommodate a doubling of their currentnumbers. That even includes a larger “viewingarea” because they visualize visitors would be fre-quent, and often in bus load groups.
“These additional cost items project to about a 15-year payback,” said Marshik, now a fifth-generationfarmer on this Century Farm. Between rented andowned ground they farm about 550 acres with 380acres corn, 140 acres alfalfa plus some pasture.Alfalfa gets both bagged and big baled.
The couple shares early reflections on this dra-matic change. Marshik simply said, “Yes, I’m gladwe made the decision.”
Palmquist, perhaps more accurately, said, “I wishwe would have done it when I was a few yearsyounger!” Learning wasn’t easy, or comfortable.“The first two months we actually lived in this barnbecause it was sub-zero weather and we didn’t wantto walk back and forth to the house. We have heat, asmall kitchenette with microwave, refrigerator, abathroom, even a futon that pulls out to a sleepingunit. We knew we had to commit to 24/7 when thecows were learning how to adjust to this new envi-ronment.” she said.

If you wish to be touched by an angel,drive on Minnesota State Highway 91.I was doing that one day, and just north
of Chandler, Minn., my foot suddenly leftthe accelerator and found the brake. Myeyes had been caught by a beautifulangel, kneeling on a pedestal, holding aninfant in its hands.
That has been the experience of manytravelers according to Marcia Carrera.The statue is the work of her mother,renowned Venezuelan artist Primi Manteiga.
Carrera and her family had lived in Chandler aboutsix years when her mother joined them in December2008. Manteiga does not speak English, and her daugh-ter relayed the story.
In Venezuela, Manteiga is well-known for her sculp-tures, paintings, stained glass windows and as a teacherof art. She has designed several series of Venezuelanpostage stamps. Her last set was historical paintings.Successful as she was, the political situation made lifedifficult. When the government not only wanted to usethe paintings for stamps, but actually take possession ofthe paintings, Manteiga decided to leave.
Born in Spain, she moved to Venezuela when she was17. Leaving Venezuela, she packed up all of her paint-ings and statuary in large crates, shipped them to theUnited States, and moved to Minnesota to join herdaughter’s family. (Her husband remains in Venezuelalooking after his restaurant business.)
Manteiga likes angels. They are part of her currentproject, making a tabernacle for a Catholic church inWorthington. She intended “Los Arcangeles” to be asmall statue in front of the Chandler house, but it grewto larger than life-size. When the family moved to anacreage outside of town for more space, it was placednear the highway so travelers could see it.
Manteiga continues her artistic endeavors in a studioat her new home. A bookshe illustrated on the 47Indian tribes that live inVenezuela has been pub-lished, and hopefully willbe translated into Eng-lish. But “Los Arcange-les” needs no translation.It speaks directly to theheart.
The statue is alongState Highway 91, abouttwo-and-a-half milessouth of the junctionwith State Highway 30, alittle north of Chandler.
