New applications of moderntechnologies — such as thosedescribed in Land staff writerDick Hagen’s crop sensor story onPage 10 — are revolutionizingagriculture by reducing farmers’fuel costs, time spent in the fieldand environmental impact on theland, water and air.
On a more intimate level, I’mhoping they will also revolution-ize my personal well-being byincreasing the time I spend onjogging and bike paths. Historymay not be on my side for acomplete healthiness overhaul,but I figure I’ve got a fighting chance this timebecause ... well, because I’m a serious stats geek.
If you can track it, map it, time it and graph it, I’mall over it. (I was a member of my high school trackand cross country teams as a proud, low-impact, clip-board-toting manager.) So when I learned about an“app” for my BlackBerry that utilizes its built-inGPS capabilities to monitor athletic activities, Iinstalled it on my smartphone almost immediately.
You select what kind of workout you’re doing —walking, running, cycling, whatever — then hit“start” and take off. When you hit “stop” the appautomatically uploads the data to a website whereyou can view statistics on that activity, includingduration, mile splits, elevation changes, caloriesburned and a map of your route. If you buy a littleattachment it’ll even track your heart rate.
My heart, of course, is of particular concern to mesince having a couple of fancy stents placed insideit nearly a year ago. Those high-tech devices savedmy life then, and perhaps my new device will helpextend it slightly by encouraging me to keep my
heart rate up.I went running this week for the first time
since before having those stents installed. Theprevious time I had tried, unsuccessfully, a month
or so before the procedure, the crushing feeling ofhelplessness I experienced was humbling. This timearound my heart felt strong and up to the challenge;the rest of my out-of-shape body, meanwhile, stronglyquestioned my choice of free-time activity and calledit a day after covering a mere 1.02 miles in 11 min-utes, 44 seconds.
While burning 125 calories. With 69 feet of totalelevation change.
I can e-mail you the route map from my phone ifyou’re interested.

LAND MINDS

OPINION
By KEVIN SCHULZThe Land Editor
Katie McNab and Andrew Mironhave a lot in common. Both graduatefrom high school this year, both areheading to college, both wererecently elected to Minnesota stateFFA office and both are winners ofThe Land scholarships this year.Katie McNab
Katie McNab was able to spend one year as aWaseca High School FFA member and chapter officerwith her big brother, Joe, 20, and that experiencespurred her further into her passion — FFA.
“When I was a freshman I knew that a goal of minewas to become a state FFA officer,” said the youngestdaughter of Dave and Pat McNab of Waseca. Katiealso has a half-sister, Pam Dietz, 27.
Katie is the third state officer to come out WasecaHigh School FFA in the 50 years of the chapter’sexistence.
The McNab family rents about 400 acres of corn,soybeans, peas and sweet corn. They also raise andshow horses and rabbits.
Back in 2004, Katie got her first pet rabbit. “Iwanted a pet bunny so my parents got me one forChristmas.” Well, as rabbits are known to do, theymultiplied. That first free buck Katie got seven years
ago came from some people lookingto liquidate their bunny operation,and thus Lone Oak Woolies wasborn. Katie is specific to the JerseyWooly breed, a small breed with longwool and small ears that is knownfor its easy disposition.
Katie raises the rabbits for show-ing and selling; she goes across thecountry to show her rabbits, with
her highlight coming at a 2008 national show inLouisville, Ky., where she brought home a best-of-breed award.
At one time she had as many as 140 rabbits in herherd, but that is slowly being whittled down to about40 for when she heads off to Iowa State Universitywhere she plans to major in ag education and minorin communications.
“When I get out of college, I want to work as a highschool ag teacher and FFA adviser,” she said. “Thenin time I would like to work with an agriculturalcompany or organization. ... I’ve thought about work-ing for National FFA.”Andrew Miron
Andrew Miron, the youngest of Fran and Mary AnnMiron’s six children, is merely following the paththat has been laid by those before him.

I was a member of my high schooltrack and cross country teams as aproud, low-impact, clipboard-totingmanager.
When you’re young andfarm born, May isn’t somuch a month as a carnival;a pleasant stretch that’s nolonger spring but not quitesummer, a time heavy withlittle other than possibilities.
On the southern Illinoisdairy farm of my youth, Maywas a corner-turner, theswing month of both the farmand my family’s year. Theeventual success of almostanything that mattered tous — from October cornyields to October baseballfor the St. Louis Cardinals — was usu-ally measured by that month’s yardstick.
Back then, a good May would bring atimely rain but no mud, a couple of BobGibson-pitched shutouts, a no-workSunday or two, and a meal of friedham, wilted garden lettuce and potatopancakes.
Almost 50 years later that would stillbe a good May.
I remember that the farm gainedtempo as the month gained days. Maybegan with corn planting and that beganwith my father saddling the farm’sbiggest tractor, an Oliver 1850, withplumbed-together, shop-built sprayertanks. The homely pair carried milkyatrazine for corn and egg-colored treflanfor beans in a pre-plant attack on thefarm’s impressive weed population.
The big rig — well, relatively so: thefield cultivator wasn’t as wide astoday’s bass boats are long and the1850 packed only half as much horse-power — preceded hired man Jackie
piloting a steady, slowOliver 770 and a six-row,ground-driven Oliverplanter.
The planter’s pace, nomore than 4 mph, suitedsteady, slow Jackie. The per-manently tanned, usuallyswearing man possessed theunique talent of lookingbusy — even sweating —while using 90 minutes todo 60 minutes of work. (His
younger brother, Orlie,however, didn’t own thesame gift.)
Planting also featured my two olderbrothers and me scrapping over whowould join Dad and Jackie in the field,assist herdsman Howard with theevening milking or help Mom in thegarden. The first two jobs paid 50-centsan hour, the latter nothing; the formertwo were exhilarating; the latter awful.Brothers Rich and Dave often rotatedbetween barn and field; I rotatedbetween hilling potatoes and hoeingpeas.
But late May always brought enoughfarm work to free me from vegetablepurgatory. There was corn to rotaryhoe, beans to finish planting, cows tomilk and 80 or so acres of lush, emer-ald green alfalfa to cut, crimp, rake,bale, haul and stack.
The work gave Rich, Dave and metwo great gifts: we spent all day withthe farm’s rough cut men and we eachpocketed a slick $6 or so for work weprobably would have done for free.
The only drawback to hay heaven
was that it often meant Memorial Daywas also Alfalfa Day. More times thannot, just as A.J. Foyt and MarioAndretti began their screaming drivesaround the big oval of the Indianapolis500, my brothers and I were slowly,slowly circling a big hayfield with slow,slow Jackie.
For a decade beginning in 1965, thelast week of May usually delivered a
grade school, high school or collegegraduation ceremony for one of mysiblings or me. A quick count suggestsI attended at least 10 (and maybe 12)of these events yet I can’t recall oneceremony, one speaker or one post-diploma party.
I do, however, remember that on myhigh school graduation day we seniorspracticed the ceremony in the morn-ing, then played the traditional senior-faculty softball game. I have no idea ofwho won, but I know I was home,rotary hoeing corn, by 2 p.m.
Dull boy? Probably, but I rememberit being such a fine May day that Iwanted just to be on the farm and inthe field.
Most May days, I still do.•••

FARM & FOOD FILE
By Alan Guebert
On the southern Illinoisdairy farm of my youth,May was a corner-turner,the swing month of boththe farm and my family’syear. The eventual suc-cess of almost anythingthat mattered to us ...was usually measured bythat month’s yardstick.
SCHOLARSHIP, from pg. 2He is the fourth state FFA officer in his family —
oldest brother Mike, 2000-01 treasurer; Ann, 2006-07 secretary; Katie, 2009-10 vice president. He isthe fourth Forest Lake FFAer in the last five yearsto be a state FFA officer (Erin Daninger, 2010-11secretary, was the other), and he became the 11thstate officer to come out of the Forest Lake FFAChapter.
“It’s quite an honor to be graduating in the 100thclass from Forest Lake High School and a state offi-
cer in the 75th year of Forest Lake FFA,” he said.
In addition to Mike, Ann and Katie, Andrew hastwo other brothers — Mark and Paul.
Obviously, FFA has been a big part of the youngMiron’s life, but he has done more than wear theblue corduroy throughout his high school career.
In addition to his helping on the Miron family cropand dairy farm, Andrew also wrestled, played base-ball and has been involved in 4-H. He said that afterFFA he received his greatest satisfaction from his
work with St. John the Baptist Church.“Church has been a big part of my life,” Andrew
said. “Mom and Dad always stressed the importanceof church.” Andrew has been a lector, Bible Schoolteacher, usher, fall festival volunteer, altar serverand has been a member of the church’s choir.
This fall, Andrew will be heading south to the Uni-versity of Minnesota, where he plans to major in ani-mal science and pre-veterinary medicine. “I plan ongetting my veterinary degree, then come home tofarm and then work as a vet, too.”

According to some, I am agiant agribusiness — theworst kind of factory farmer.
What qualifies me for this dubiousdistinction? Nothing except that,based on U.S. Department of Agricul-ture figures, my farm falls in thebiggest 6 percent of U.S. farms. Andthese farms account for the bulk of fed-eral farm policy support.
It sounds pretty damning, which is whyit is the top talking point used by oppo-nents of farm policy looking to dismantle asystem, they say, is too tilted to agribusi-nesses and oppresses small, family farms.
There’s a lot more to this story thana 10-second sound bite would let on.For example, the USDA considers any-one with sales of more than $1,000 tobe a farm, so that 6 percent figure is alittle misleading.
The weekend grower on the side ofthe road selling tomatoes from her gar-den would be a farmer in the govern-ment’s eyes. Ditto for the young retireetrying his hand at wine making.
Ironically, my business is probablymore in line with what most of us con-sider a farm. It is family-run. It waspassed down to me from my father andgrandfather. It is a full-time effort tosupport my wife and kids.
And, in order to make it my liveli-hood, it has sales exceeding $500,000.
Again, that figure can be spun tosound really bad, since most peopledon’t know the difference between rev-
enue and profit. Butremember, the $500,000represents gross sales,
not how much money the farm orfarmer is making.
A farmer may produce half-a-milliondollars worth of goods but might haveto spend just as much to grow the crop,making it a break-even propositionand sometimes a losing one.
Seems odd to call these farms corpo-rate titans, especially when you con-sider that the Small Business Admin-istration classifies most businesses as“small” if their gross sales are under$7 million a year.
How much profit could a “giant cor-porate farm” like mine hope to gener-ate? The USDA puts profit margins inagriculture at 10 to 15 percent.
So under favorable circumstances —Mother Nature cooperates, marketprices are fair, oil doesn’t spike andyou don’t run into any problems likeequipment breaking down and need-ing expensive repairs — that $500,000in sales could generate between$50,000 and $75,000 in profit a year,according to the USDA’s estimates.
No corporate executive in his or herright mind would get into such a riskybusiness with such little profit upside.That’s why 97 percent of U.S. farmsare still owned by families, not by cor-porations like Cargill or ADM or Kraft.
I recognize that some may construethis commentary as a complaint about
farm profits or an attack on smaller farmoperations, but that is not my intent.
Farm prices are way up right nowand near an all-time high — and as aresult, federal spending is way down. Iknow that if America is going to meettomorrow’s food and fiber needs it willtake farms of all shapes and sizes.
Smaller, organic growers are part ofthis puzzle, as are larger, conventionaloperations like mine, which supplymore than three-quarters of our coun-try’s food and fiber.
As Secretary of State Clinton said(recently), “We must redouble our com-mitment to sustainable agricultureand food security.”
She’s right. If this nation is going tokeep pace with an exploding global popu-lation, and if it’s going to do it in a sus-tainable way, then responsible farmers of
all sizes have to come together in sup-porting and encouraging technology andbest management practices.
In addition, America needs to urgethe next generation to get involved infarming, despite the low profit mar-gins and risk, to replace aging grow-ers who are retiring.
Our farmers and ranchers are a thingreen line standing between a pros-perous nation and a hungry world. It’stime to refocus on holding all parts ofthis thin green line instead of tearingit apart with manipulated numbersand disingenuous spin.

The soft gravel roads thisspring have brought a deepand literal meaning to thephrase stuck in a rut. A sen-ior saint from my churchshared that a sanitationtruck turned onto a muckyroad near her home and gotstuck up to its axles.
“I don’t know what he wasthinking,” she said. “Youcould see the road wasn’tfit.” Six hours after theypulled him out, I’m prettysure he wasn’t thinking anything good.
When ruts are deep cars bottom out,mud cakes vehicles and traffic slows.There’s nothing beautiful about beingstuck in a rut — whether it comes byway of roads or of life. At least that’swhat I used to think.
This past week a much-loved andwell-respected farmer in our commu-nity passed away in a farm accident.He was 77 years young and dedicatedhis life to his Lord, family and commu-nity. In a disposable world of heretoday and gone tomorrow, some wouldsay he was stuck in a rut.
When he did something, he didn’t doit for a year or two; he stuck with ituntil his dying day. He was married for
57 years and farmed forover 53 years. He was dedi-cated to jail ministry, andevery Sunday afternoon for26 years he went to the localjail to show Christian videosand talk about God’s love.
That’s not stuck in a rut.That’s sticking it out inevery season — drought,floods and sunshine, pros-perity and disaster, plus thegood days and the I’d-rather-forget-that-ever-happened
days. Delroy was a quiet man whose lifespoke volumes about faith and family,and whose example in a fleeting worlddemonstrated the value of endurance,longevity and perseverance.

Sue Peterson Johnson willbe taking a break from writ-ing her column “The Yield.”
Sue’s mother, Harriet G.Krosch, passed away May 18at Sunrise Cottage inMankato, Minn. She was 86.
A memorial service was May23 at North Mankato Mortu-ary-Northview Chapel, withRev. Monte Meyer officiating.A private family burial wasbefore the service. In lieu of flowers,memorials preferred to the ArthritisFoundation, the Alzheimer’s Association,or an organization of the donor’s choice.
Harriet Grace Krosch was born Jan. 8,1925, in Duluth, Minn., to Harry andAlice (Cleveland) Seitz. She graduatedfrom Duluth Central High School in
1943. On June 16, 1943, shemarried Ervin Krosch inDuluth. Harriet wasemployed as a receptionist ata dental office, worked for thePeace Corps, and for SightSavers, all in Hemet, Calif.,where she and Ervin residedfor 30 years. She was a mem-ber of St. Peter’s LutheranChurch in Vernon Center,Minn. In Hemet she was amember of St. John’s
Lutheran Church and the Lioness Club.She enjoyed reading, crossword puzzles,sewing and other needlework, and wasan excellent cook. Harriet believed all ofher children were her favorite.
Condolences may be sent to Sue at1010 East 5th St., Blue Earth, MN56013.
PORCH, from pg. 6little and we just grow tired.”
She’s right. Caring for a hundred differ-ent things is exhausting. It will wear youout and lead to temporary, fleeting serv-ice. One person cannot meet the need ofevery need in this world. There are somany: orphans, widows, the elderly, dis-abled, lonely, hurting, grieved, sick,imprisoned, children, poor, crisis pregnan-cies, human-trafficking, dying and more.
Can we all give 26 years of Sundayafternoons to each need this world holds?Impossible. Can we all find a place to
serve for 26 years that needs a person ofpassion and perseverance? You won’thave to drive down too many ruttedgravel roads to find neighbors, churchesand organizations that will warmly wel-come your helping hand today and in thesuccessive years to come.
Each of us is wired in a unique way,with special talents and abilities, dif-fering resources of time, energy, healthand finances, various life experiencesand individual passions. If all peoplewould do what they are wired to dobest, I believe we’d be covered. Eachneed could be met if we all do our part.
It’s kind of like a body. When eachpart does its part, it breathes andmoves and lives.
If you haven’t already, figure out whatyour unique bent is within you, and laceup your shoes. Not for a quick sprint, butfor a marathon — a 26-mile run.
Stick to the refrain that quitting isn’tan option even when things are moredifficult than they first appeared.Walking off the job is unthinkable evenwhen the wounded we serve are more
rude than grateful. With that kind ofstaying power and stamina put towork in our communities and beyond,lives will be changed and blessed.
It’s a deep-rutted influence thatcan’t be missed. If you’re looking for avisual of what that looks like inhearts, check out a gravel road.

A large brick church with an Ameri-can flag and a wide green expanse oflawn in front graces the cover of“Cooking With Harmony,” a fund-rais-ing cookbook from the Harmony StateLine United Methodist Women. Thechocolate-brown church with brightwhite details, flanked by toweringtrees, is sturdy, square and tall: aMidwestern icon on Main Street USA.
The equally sturdy, hard-cover, easy-clean cookbook has been done in a three-ring binder style and is quite the bargainat $15 (plus shipping) for almost 700recipes. Funds raised support the churchwomen’s never-ending projects and mis-sions. This is a great cookbook for begin-ners, since it has just about everything inevery category, but more experiencedcooks will enjoy leafing through it andfinding new treasures to try.
I have been unusually busy lately withfamily projects, so cooking time has beenlimited. Here are several recipes thatseemed “practical” to me. I am keepingthem myself for future time shortages.(Certainly not all the recipes in this cook-book are “quickies”; lots and lots of won-derful “slow food” is also featured.)
■
A hearty restaurant-style sauté,Easy Chicken Bistro makes you feellike a fancy chef with just a few simpleingredients and a half-hour, tops. Noneed to tell anyone how easy it was;
just mop your brow and enjoy theirhappy faces. I whipped this up oneevening, complemented with a baggedsalad, canned mandarin oranges andbuttered bread, and we called it a feast.I called it fast and fabulous. Four out offour “yums” from the Johnson clan.Easy Chicken BistroSubmitted by Holly Koliha Nelson

As I write this column I can seerhubarb tips peeking out of the mud inour miry backyard. I strongly feel thatyou cannot eat too much rhubarb. It’s
absolutely my favorite in jams, pies,breads and desserts. It’s pretty much freeand plentiful and easy to pluck. Earlysettlers called it the “pie plant” and musthave thought it was manna from heavenafter a “fruit-less” winter. If you don’thave a rhubarb patch, you know some-one who does (trust me) and you can taketheirs. Nobody wants this lovely rhubarbto go to waste. Here’s a novel recipe usingquite a bit of honey as a sweetener.Rhubarb Honey BreadSubmitted by Luanne Peterson

With 30-plus systems now positionedwith farmers, custom applicators andretailers in southern Minnesota sincehe first introduced the strategy in2006, Bernie Paulson of McPhersonCrop Management Inc., Janesville,Minn., is feeling confident that cropcanopy sensing can become a prof-itable tool for many farmers.
GreenSeeker is the marketing namefor this Trimble technology which incor-porates infrared scanning of corn leafsurfaces to give you on-the-go variablerate application of nitrogen. The mar-keting lingo describes this as a technol-ogy that allows you to apply the rightamount, in the right place, at the righttime. These applications are made inreal time as you travel across the field.$20-per-acre advantage
GreenSeeker users have conductedhundreds of side-by-side yield compar-isons with and without the technology,and generally users are coming homewith a $20-per-acre advantage over andabove the cost of application and thecost of nitrogen, Paulson said.
How much additional N does the sys-tem apply in these on-the-go applica-tions? “Generally we’re adding 10 to 15
pounds per acre on the low end and 30 to40 lbs./acre on the high end on most appli-cations,” Paulson said. For most farmersin southern Minnesota, the GreenSeekertreatment follows the application of 75 to80 percent of the total nitrogen require-ments via pre-plant and/or starter.
“The GreenSeeker program then comeson with a final ‘touch up’ on those areas ofthe field showing some nitrogen deficien-cies after corn has reached a minimum ofV5 growth stage right on up to shoulder-high corn if needed,” Paulson said.
Last year corn came on so fast in somefields that it was already near tassel bythe time of the GreenSeeker pass. Side-by-side yield comparisons in these lateapplications indicated up to 15 bushelsper acre yield responses, even at thislater stage in the season, Paulson said.
N source is typically 28 percent or 32percent solution but urea applied with ahigh clearance spinner spreader unit isalso an option. Paulson, a certified cropadviser, said the nitrogen source doesn’tmatter to the corn plant. Generally thenitrogen solution is applied between therows; the urea gets sprinkled over thetop of the corn and falls to the soil.

After seven seasons of “canopy work”with corn at the Southern Researchand Outreach Center in Wasesa,Minn., soil scientist Jeff Vetch believeslocation may be critical for the technol-ogy’s success. In the Central Corn Beltwhere the GreenSeeker was developed(Oklahoma State University) the cropcanopy technology is more positive.
“Hybrids in that area have a muchlonger grain fill period, and longer uptakeperiod,” Vetch said, “thus nitrogen ‘correc-tions’ during the V5 to V7 stage have alonger time frame to do their work.”
The Waseca studies involved using theGreenSeeker technology as a small plotdiagnostic tool. They used field plotswith fixed rates of nitrogen fertilizerwhich were then “sensed” at V7 and V9-V10 growth stages. They also sensed aslate as V12 and did some applicationsthat late also. The GreenSeeker wasused to see if it could identify N stress atany of these stages. Some sites it wassuccessful; others it wasn’t.
“I think in our high organic soils,especially in corn following soybeans,”he said, “there was enough mineraliza-tion of nitrogen in those early growthstages up even to V8 to meet the needsof the corn. So if you delayed yourapplication until what theGreenSeeker was sensing it was diffi-cult to measure differences betweenthe control strips and the referencestrips that had adequate fertilization.”
In corn-on-corn trials, however, thatdelineation was obvious and sometimesshowed early (V5), so nitrogen applica-tions based on sensing at that time wasnoticeable. But if application wasdelayed until corn plants showedstress, yield losses were unrecoverable.
“I think the challenge here in theNorthern Cornbelt is that our corn is ina jackrabbit race to the finish line,”Vetch said. “Any stress during that V5to V7 stage when those plants are set-ting yield potentials can reduce yieldpotentials throughout the growing sea-son, and any mid-season nitrogen cor-rections just don’t register.”

There are three crop sensor reflectance monitoring sys-tems commercially available to growers: GreenSeeker,OptRx and CropSpec. All three systems use active sensortechnology to measure crop reflectance. This measure-ment is used to assess canopy greenness and biomass todetermine crop nitrogen requirements.
Active sensors function by emitting their own source ofmodulated light onto the crop canopy and then measur-ing the percent of modulated light reflected from thecanopy back to the sensor. More specifically, theGreenSeeker and OptRx use light-emitting diodes andthe CropSpec uses laser diodes for emitting light;reflectance is measured by all sensors using photodiodes.
The reason sensors use modulated light is to distinguishnatural sunlight from their own emitted light.This uniquefeature, accomplished with electrical circuits, allows thesensors to function equally well in conditions ranging fromdarkness to full sunlight. Operationally, these sensors canbe mounted on N fertilizer applicators equipped with com-puter processing and variable rate controllers so that sens-ing and fertilization are done in one pass.

SENSORS, from pg. 10leaves but most of it gets to the ground surfacewhere it’s readily available for the corn.” Researchdocuments that N loss can happen with surfaceapplications, however these losses are limited to10 to 15 percent of total N applied up to two weeksafter application.One piece of the puzzle
Is crop canopy sensoring the next step toward 300-bushel corn yields? Paulson said this system can be acomponent of that 300-bushel strategy, though it’sonly one piece of an entire management system.
“If you haven’t taken care of your drainage,phosphorous, your potassium, sulfur and the bulkof your nitrogen requirements prior to theGreenSeeker application, it’s not going to fill thatvoid in your overall fertility program,” he said.
Prior to getting into crop canopy scanning, Paul-son suggested it wise to first do the proper soil sam-pling to implement the overall fertility program,even accounting for different soil types within agiven field. Then it’s a matter of continued cropscouting and side-dressing applications as needed.
Working with a custom applicator, he feels it impor-
tant that a grower and his agronomist establish abase plan even before the crop is planted. “Thatmeans, for example, starting with a variable-rate pre-plant and/or starter nitrogen,” Paulson said.“Perhapsthat grower is working with a manure maintenanceprogram also.The point being your custom applicatorwants to work with you on your total fertility strat-egy so that the GreenSeeker unit makes a passthrough your fields at precisely the right time.”
Any high-clearance sprayer unit can be fittedwith the sensors. “We have systems installed onRoGators, Miller Nitros, Hagie units, Case-IHPatriots, John Deere, virtually any high-clearanceunit,” he said. “We also have systems on manufac-tured tool bars, home-made tool bars and modifiedcultivators. It matters not the machinery as longas it works for that particular farmer.”Time and money
Application speed varies, of course, with the sizeof the unit, but Paulson suggested a 16-row unit(40-foot boom) traveling 8 mph would be coveringabout 40 acres an hour. A self-propelled sprayercould easily cover 100 acres an hour. This last“nitrogen touch up” practice certainly isn’t a seri-

SENSORS, from pg. 11ous time consumer as long as theproper support equipment is providing“refilling” as needed. These high-clear-ance sprayers with 90-foot and 120-footbooms plus 800- to 1,200-gallon tanksdoing five to 10 gallons per acre appli-cation rates can cover several hundredacres in a short period of time.
According to Paulson, depending ontoolbar or boom configuration, with
all required equipment, installationand training will run between $13,000to $22,000. “Figuring minimum $20per acre payback in saved N orincreased yield, 650 to 1,200 acres willpay for the cost of the system.”
Relating to the growing issue of farm-ers having to account for exactly where,when and how much fertility wasapplied to a given field, Paulson said thebest way to reduce N loss is to shortenthe time between when you apply it and
when the crop needs it. Crop canopysensing during the growing seasonmight be part of that strategy.
“With nitrogen costing 50 cents, 60cents and higher, the question becomeshow do we manage our inputs to get themost mileage out of every one of thosedollars going into producing the crop.We think the GreenSeeker system isone helpful step,” Paulson said. He indi-cated 75 percent of systems are goinginto the custom application market.Farmers who purchase for their own useoften are applying for neighbors also. Heventured that almost all systems aredoing some custom work.Big applicator
One of the biggest GreenSeeker cus-tom applicators in Minnesota is Crys-tal Valley Co-op of Lake Crystal. Thisseason the co-op will be running eightGreenSeeker units.
“As we move forward with higher yield-ing hybrids and yield goals, we see moreneed for split applications of nitrogen,”said Tony Jacobs, agronomy sales lead forthe co-op. “And if we can vary the N rateas we move across the landscape, canopy
technology came along as the best tool forhelping us get that job done. Plus it virtu-ally eliminates wasting nitrogen.”
They run the GreenSeeker throughfields starting at V6 to V8 growth stage.“That’s when nitrogen demand goesexponential in that plant but we’re run-ning even as late as V12 and still meas-uring N deficiencies.” They use 28 per-cent N applied in a concentratedhigh-pressure stream between each row.
Because of current economics andyield goals, Crystal Valley Co-op pro-motes three trips for nitrogen, espe-cially if in a corn-on-corn program.Preplant could be either fall anhy-drous or spring-applied urea plusstarter, plus the GreenSeeker applica-tion at the appropriate growth stage.
“We calibrate for target rates and mostlysuggest a 75 percent-25 percent applica-tion schedule. Typically we average eightto 12 gallons per acre for the 28 percent Nthrough the GreenSeeker system.”

Strange as it sounds, corn and soy-bean prices don’t always dominateMinnesota coffee shop chatter. Listenclosely and you’ll hear words likewaterhemp, lambsquarter, giant rag-weed and marestail drift into the con-versation — usually blistered withsome colorful adjectives, too.
Farmers have a new weed war ontheir hands. The problem is thatglyphosate, the “magical” herbicidethat made good crop farmers out of vir-tually every farmer, no longer wins allthe weed battles. Certain weeds arefighting back, and they’re winning.
Talk with the guys in the business ofscouting and spraying corn and soybeanfields and the consensus is that farmersdo indeed need to get serious aboutaddressing the issue of resistant weeds.
“It’s not yet an ava-lanche but we’re defi-nitely seeing moreresistance developingacross this area eachyear,” said Steve Muh-lenbruch, a certifiedcrop consultant withFarmers Co-op Co. inDows, Iowa, and win-ner of the Syngenta2010 ResistanceFighter of the Year.
In a telephone visitwith The Land hesaid, “Last year wesaw more than theprevious year, per-haps partly due to ourextreme rainfall last spring. We had 26inches in June so weeds got bigbecause we couldn’t do timely spray-ing. We increased rates and got most ofthe weed issues, but some escaped.”
He’s upfront in saying the resistant-weeds issue will only get worse if farm-ers don’t start changing their weedcontrol strategies. Is the tendency ofsome farmers to “cut rates” partly toblame? He pointed out that glyphosaterates are related to weed size and he’sa firm believer in the full-rate strategy.
“Yes, I know we do have guys that if itcalls for 22 ounces will cut to 16 ounces,”Muhlenbruch said. “When glyphosatewas more expensive I could understandtheir logic. But now we’re at about $4.50per acre so price is really not an issue.”
Maybe only 5 percent of soybeans in hisarea are having weed resistance prob-lems so far and even less in corn fields. Hementioned most farmers are now puttingdown “pres” (pre-emergence herbicides) to
try to hold down that weed bank. But sur-plus moisture at the wrong time and sud-denly that Roundup window has closed.“Because of that I did have a few cornfields where giant ragweed was standinga foot or two above the corn.”
Muhlenbruch doesn’t see resistantweeds any more of an issue for growersinto continuous corn. “Actually it’s eas-ier to keep the corn clean than it is thebeans. It’s been 10 to 12 years ofRoundup on the beans versus only
three to four yearswith heavy use on thecorn. Plus the cornguys seem more will-ing to go with a pre-emergence treatmenttoo.”
Typical pre-emergeproducts for his co-opare Prowl H20, Prefix,Boundary, Lexar andLumax. New post prod-ucts for tank mix usagewith glyphosate areWarrant (new Monsantopost-emergence prod-uct) and Flexstar GT.
This veteran cropconsultant sees combi-nations of pre and post
products as definitely being new strate-gies to stay ahead of the resistanceissue. “I’d say 85 percent of our beanacres this year will be combinationtreated one way or another; most often atank mix of two products,” Muhlenbruchsaid. That could be Pursuit, or most anyother product that works in tank mixusage.
Is soil type and drainage an issue inweed resistance symptoms? “Yes, certainsoil conditions seem more likely to be gen-erating resistant issues.Your heavier, claysoils will hold moisture longer and prob-lem weeds like waterhemp just seem togerminate better in these conditions.”
Going combo does increase costs, hesaid, especially in view of currentretail prices on glyphosate. “But onlyabout $10 to $12 for a pre package orabout the cost of one bushel of soy-beans. The slightly higher costs arereally not a factor for most producers.They seem to understand it’s better to
stay ahead of the issue, than to playcatch-up after you’ve got some seriousresistance issues,” Muhlenbruch said.
He’s encouraged by how rapidlyfarmers are picking up on this growingresistant weed issue and their under-standing that new strategies need tobe put to work.
Syngenta spokesman Chuck Fore-
man said glyphosate resistance wasfirst noted in 1998. Last year approxi-mately 11 million acres of croplandwere showing some evidence of weedresistance. In 2009, 54 percent of allcotton acres in Georgia had to behand-weeded following the use ofglyphosate-based herbicides. Syn-genta initiated the Resistance Fighterof the Year award in 2009 as a meansof drawing more attention to theglyphosate resistance issue.
The University of Minnesota Exten-sion offers a short video on scouting yourfields for glyphosate resistant weeds athttp://bit.ly/kNma7O. Another goodwebsite for information and research iswww.glyphosateweedscrops.org.

Time is running out for the United States to signfree trade agreements with Korea, Panama andColombia.
Our country’s system of approving trade agree-ments includes Congress as well as our president,and “politics” slows down the process of reachingagreements with other countries. As a result, coun-tries like Korea, Panama and Colombia becomeimpatient and sign trade agreements to importagricultural products from our competitor nations.
The Minnesota Farm Bureau delegation to Wash-ington, D.C., in early April learned the importanceof FTAs during their visit to the Colombian Govern-ment Trade Bureau. The same day, Colombian Pres-ident Juan Manuel Santos and President Obamareached a tentative agreement.
Andres de la Cadena, deputy director of the Colom-bian Government Trade Bureau, used his country toillustrate the urgency of the United States signingFTAs. Colombia’s imports nearly tripled from 2003-08.At the current pace, China, Colombia’s second largesttrading partner, will soon surpass the United States.
According to Cadena, inaction on the FTAapproved five years ago is costing America becauseother countries are actively procuring agreementswith Colombia. In 2008, U.S. farmers were the mainsuppliers of agriculture goods to Colombia; in 2009,Argentina passed the United States; last year theUnited States lost its preeminence in Columbia.
Cadena zeroed in on how a Colombian FTA couldaffect Minnesota agriculture. His country currentlyimports $4 billion in agricultural products, with thatnumber doubling every three years. He went on tosay that his country could absorb nearly all Min-nesota’s agriculture exports.
In May the White House announced that it wasready to begin free trade talks with Congress. TheKorean pact was signed in December, and theadministration settled the Panamanian agreementin April. Colombia’s agreement can now move for-ward since Bogota put into place regulations regard-ing violence against labor leaders and union mem-bers, a measure demanded by the United States.
The U.S. House of Representatives agriculture com-mittee held a hearing May 12. U.S. Department of Agri-culture Secretary Vilsack and U.S. Trade Representa-tive Ron Kirk encouraged passage of the three FTAs.
“American agriculture derives more success fromexport markets than do many other sectors,” Kirktestified.
American Farm Bureau Federation President BobStallman and representatives from four farm com-modity groups stressed “swift consideration,” asarticulated by Bill Donald, president of the NationCattlemen’s Beef Association.
Donald went on to say, “We cannot afford to waitany longer to implement them. It’s time. Not six
months from now. Right now.”Iowa pork farmer Sam Carney, speaking on behalf
of the National Pork Producers Council, told thecommittee that these FTAs will create more than10,200 jobs in the pork industry along.
Stallman also stressed the importance of movingquickly to approve the FTAs. “Due to the administra-tion and Congress’ inaction on these agreements, thedebate is no longer about generating potentialexport gains but about how to prevent the loss ofexisting export markets.”
National Farmers Union President Roger Johnsonstood alone in opposition to the agreements. Hereminded the committee that the NFU “has histori-cally opposed free trade agreements on the basis thatthe agreements were more likely to increase importsrather than open new markets to U.S. goods.” He wenton to say that U.S. agriculture usually does worseafter the government signs new trade agreements.
Johnson also said that the three agreements will“force thousands of Americans out of their jobs,result in the importation of products that could beproduced domestically, and displace our own familyfarmers, ranchers and fishermen.”
Farmers are encouraged to communicate their posi-tion on the FTAs to their lawmakers in Washington dur-ing the approval process. They must speak out at townhall meetings and invite lawmakers to their farms.
When Congress prepares to pass the FTAs, farmersneed to call or e-mail their representatives and senatorsso they will know farmers’ position on the agreements.

There’s an angel that is out to helpnew businesses in Minnesota.
The Minnesota Angel Network is aconsortium of private investors withpotential assistance from the Min-nesota Department of Employmentand Economic Development. Its pri-
mary purpose is to function as thefacilitator between potential investorsand potential new businesses.
Todd Leonard, MAN executive direc-tor officed in St. Louis Park, said, “theAngel investor is categorized as anindividual or group of investors whoinvest their own money in companiesor technologies that they are passion-
ate about. The concept of Angelinvestors is not new as evidenced byMinnesota’s many value-added cooper-atives. But we are finding numerouspockets around the state of individualsor groups of individuals, be it localLion’s Club members or other commu-nity-based networks that want toinvest in their communities.
“What we look for are those investorswho are driven with the ambition ofreinvesting in Minnesota,” Leonardsaid, emphasizing that the MinnesotaAngel Network is a non-profit organi-zation to assist the entrepreneur-
minded individuals or local communitygroups. “This does not mean develop-ing a business plan for a startup com-pany, but rather putting the focus onwhat it takes to get a new company oran expanding company ready forinvestors.”

It also supports start-upcompanies looking to start, grow or relocate to Min-nesota.”
The Worthington BioScience Center is one of thecurrent initiatives of the Angel Network. In Red-wood Falls, Leonard related to the Center for Excel-lence for Macro cycle Development. His agency isdoing woody mass projects in northern Minnesotaand prairie grass projects in west central Min-nesota.
“We help facilitate statewide initiatives, do theinitial research for the initiatives, and help startimplementing the process. A spin-off from the workof the BioBusiness Alliance is the BioBusinessResource Network, a group that helps companiesget started,” he said.
Over the past two years, this group has helpedmore than 193 companies. Almost half of those com-panies are located in Greater Minnesota.
One such company is Redwood Falls-based FreshEcoHarvest. Fresh EcoHarvest does platformgrowth of various plant life and is getting 10 to 14harvests per year from a normal vine crop such astomatoes that typically produces one crop each sea-son. It assisted Fresh EcoHarvest’s efforts by facili-tating introduction, identifying funding sources andproviding general business advisory and is oftenthe primary catalyst in the startup of many bio-science related companies.
“Minnesota has a number of unique bioscienceundertakings. Minnesota is noted for its creativeand entrepreneurial spirit. But there has neverbeen a place for an investor to look at statewidecompanies nor has there been a reliable and con-venient source for companies to find investors whoare interested in Minnesota. The Minnesota AngelNetwork provides those services to both parties,”Leonard said.
In practical terms, the Minnesota Angel Networkis the online portal that first qualifies companiesfor assistance and then introduces investors tothese various companies. Because of potential pri-vacy issues, a potential investor is never identifiedto a particular company, unless they wish to beidentified.
“Even inside the portal there is complete confi-dentiality so there is no exposure to others of anypotential business alliance,” Leonard said.

Ethanol now gobbles up nearly 40 per-cent of the annual U.S. corn crop. Approxi-mately 50 percent of U.S. soybeans aremarketed into foreign countries. Morethan 20 percent of U.S. pork gets sold over-seas. Even Middle East countries in themidst of political turmoil continue to bemajor buyers of U.S. agricultural products.Egypt, for example, is a huge buyer of U.S. wheat.About 60 percent of U.S. petroleum is still importedfrom foreign sources.
With all of that in mind, do the same rules stillapply for U.S. farmers working up their 2011 and
2012 marketing programs? The answer,according to University of Minnesota grainmarketing specialist Ed Usset, is “Yes.”
He acknowledged that U.S. agriculture hasbeen involved in world markets for manyyears for several commodities, both grain andlivestock. “The growth of ethanol is certainly anew player but the basics of marketinghaven’t changed. What has changed is thetremendous scope of some of these markets.
However the issues of marketing still tie to the pro-duction cycle of agriculture — spring planting, fallharvesting.
“I tell people don’t look outward to what’s going onin the world. Sure, it’s comfortable to know some ofthis but don’t forget in all your looking to lookinward at your own operation. Yes, pay attention towhat the markets are doing but check the mirroreach morning and ask, ‘What’s working best forme?’”
Is the “delayed spring” outlook yet impacting com-modity markets? Usset said it likely is a minor issue,but spring floods are a good example of a relatively“local issue” getting confused with the big picture ofan international market. But what about Australiawhere nearly one-third of the country was flooded?“Sure, because Australia is a major wheat producerand a major competitor of U.S. wheat sales intoSoutheast Asia.”
How does China, rapidly becoming a major buyerof agricultural products wherever it can get the best
deal, impact U.S. trade? “Now you’re talking about along-term player that seems to have no end to theirappetite for U.S. soybeans. China, in the big picture,is the big reason we’re looking at $13 to $14 soy-beans.”
Usset is well aware of yield trend lines in corn andsoybean production. He pointed out the urgency ofyield trends having to accelerate in view of escalat-ing populations of people with “new buying power” inboth China and Asia.
He’s been doing marketing sessions with Min-nesota farmers for over a decade now. “Farmers aregetting better at understanding the importance andthe intricacies of marketing,” he said, “but it’s a con-tinuous learning process. It takes a long time tobreak old habits. But very definitely more producersare exploring different ways to market; trying to getsmarter. And they need to do just that.
“The last two or three decades were mostly a pro-duction test for farmers, in essence learning how toproduce more per acre. This very competitive systemhas done away with those farmers who didn’t care tokeep up with production technologies, or were sim-ply unwilling to buy in with what needed to be done.
“However the next two or three decades the focuswill be on marketing. Everyone still standing nowknows how to produce a soybean or a corn crop. Thenext step is do you know how to manage the market-ing of that crop,” Usset said.
Usset spoke at an event hosted by Renville CountyCorn-Soybean Growers.
Usset: It’s a global economy, but market basics still rule

Brian Knochenmus, vice presidentof Ralco Nutrition Inc., said “govern-ment intrusion” keeps ramping upmore challenges for the livestock feedindustry.
“The biggest challenge facing usright now is the Food Safety Modern-ization Act signed by PresidentObama Jan. 4. It’s creating some newintricacies for the feed industry.”
He alluded that this new legislationdrives food safety to new levels withinthe feed industry. For many mills itwill even mean new machinery and inmost cases it means further definingprocesses and identifying critical con-trol points within the feed manufac-turing system.
“When energy is such a critical com-
ponent for the world,and more specificallyfor us in the feed busi-ness, we really haveto fine-tune our live-stock diets to stayfocused on energy,especially as some ofour feedstock ingredi-ents keep increasingin price,” Knochenmus said.
With critical amino acids being the“building blocks” of many feedstuffs,he said the industry today uses a lot ofcrystalline amino acids which permitfine-tuning of the diets and make bet-ter use of the energy within the sys-tem. Enzymes, too, are becoming newtechnology within the industry withsynthetics now becoming key sourcesin diet formulations.
“In the past many enzymes were
used just on top of diets in hopes thatperformance got better. Our scientists(Ralco employees 13 PhDs at its Mar-shall, Minn., headquarters) aredrilling into what will the enzymeunlock so that in essence we can ‘defor-mulate’ the diet yet maintain perform-ance and get better utilization out ofthe ingredients in the diet.”
Considerably different feed formula-tions down the road? “No doubt aboutthat. Ours is a constantly changingindustry with intense competition tokeep improving our products. To recog-nize that agriculture needs to producetwice as much food in 50 years simplymeans our feed products need to keepgetting better in terms of feed effi-ciency and rate of gain.”
If farmers in the future can grow cer-tain corn hybrids which produce morefeed value, will the feed industry bepaying a premium for these “nutrition-ally richer” corns?
“Yes, if we can define nutrientmatrixes that are more beneficial tothe animal nutrition industry,”Knochenmus said, adding that the keywill be getting those supplies to theanimals. “There are some things towork out but there’s no doubt that hasto be our goal.”
Will corn be purchased on the basisof amino acid content and overallenergy values? He simply said thatcorn will be a driving force in feedinglivestock as long as it is grown. Feedstuffs can and do vary considerablyfrom season to season, even from loadto load, for Ralco. “That keys into theimportance of new analytical tech-niques where we can drill into thenutrient matrix of the ingredient on areal-time basis,” Knochenmus said.
Higher corn costs continue to impactthe economics of feeding livestock, andin fact formulating feed products. “It’sbeen a struggle for the dairy, hog, poul-try, even the beef industry over thepast two to three years and it’s adaunting task to get things movingfavorably for all participants. We’redaily looking at ‘least cost’ formula-tions versus ‘best cost’ economics.”
Ralco Nutrition markets into 38states across America plus 13 differentcountries including much of Europe,the Middle East and Africa plus theAsian and Latin American markets.The firm produces feeds for the entirelivestock matrix.

Grain AnglesNo secrets
in the marketsThe rain falls, storms rage and rivers rise. This has
been the story of the 2011 planting season. The vastmajority of the corn crop has been planted, yet thereare areas that still struggle to put the seed in theground. The Mississippi River Valley continues to bechallenged as the flood gates are opened, puttinghundreds of thousands of acres offarmland under water.
Investment funds had liqui-dated many of their positions inthe commodity markets only torush back in to reestablish theirpositions. The corn market hasfactored into its price the loss of 1million to 3 million acres and aless-than-trend-line yield. That isthe function of the futures mar-kets — to factor in all the knowl-edge known into the price. Thereare no secrets in the markets, onlythe changing fundamentals andthe psychological reactions to them. These reactionscreate the volatility that is present in today’s markets.
Fundamentally, with fewer acres expected to beplanted and forecasted growing conditions, the cornsupplies will remain tight with the current demand.The rebuilding of stocks will be challenging barringsome significant destruction of demand. If plannedcorn acres are shifted to soybeans, this will add stocksto the record South American crop. The wheat crop onthe Plains is being challenged by drought. France andGermany, the major wheat-producing areas of WesternEurope, are also experiencing drought that threatenscrop production. World wheat stocks have been strong,but will be drawn down with smaller crop production.
The long-term fundamentals of supply and demandare expected to remain strong for the next severalyears. If this continues to support high grain prices,
Grain OutlookGlobal weatheron main stage
The following market analysis is for the week end-ing May 20.
CORN — Who poked the funds this week? Weatherwas main stage this week, but the return of moneyextended advances across the board. Funds wereestimated to be net buyers thisweek, Monday through Friday, ofup to 34,000 contracts of corn.This addition to fundamentalshelped broaden this week’s rally.
Wet conditions across the east-ern Corn Belt and northern Plainsonce again were a focus of funda-mental traders. It’s still too wet toget much of anything planted outEast, and the spring wheat plant-ing in the North is lagging. Cornplanting was 63 percent completelast week, pretty much in line withexpectations. This week, May 23,corn progress is expected to have advanced to nearly 80percent complete versus the five-year average of 87percent complete. Even at 80 percent done, that leavesover 18 million acres of corn to plant based on the orig-inal 92.2 million acre forecast.
Trade talk is circling the 1 million acres plus as thenumber for lost or prevented planted acres this year.Preventive plant dates are being eyed more aggres-sively this year than in other years it seems. Summergrowing conditions will ultimately determine theyield, but we need to get it in the ground — which weusually do.
The wheat market posted the most dramatic gainsthis week with Minneapolis wheat rocketing 99 1/2cents higher, Chicago jumping 78 3/4 cents andKansas City surging 63 3/4 cents. Dryness acrossWestern Europe and central China, plus the on-goingproblems in the U.S. western Plains, were cited as

under pressureSince the start of May the livestock markets have
been under some pressure, especially the cattle mar-ket. Shrinking demand due to the high cutout pricesand shrinking domestic disposable income were themajor contributing factors in the recent weakness.
Cattle have been on the slidesince the early days of April and asnumbers of ready cattle picked upin May, the drop in prices becamemore prominent. The fact that beefcutouts reached levels that retail-ers began to balk at the high pricesreflected the weakening demandfor beef. Weather has also had aninfluence on demand as the latespring has hurt the early grillingseason. As beef cutouts have comedown, there has been an increasein retail demand, especially for theMemorial Day weekend business.
The futures have seen a far more drastic fall thanthe cash market as hedge and index funds began toliquidate their long positions. This has put the futuresat a discount to cash and a favorable basis for feedlots.
On May 20 the U.S. Department of Agriculturereleased the Monthly Cattle on Feed Report. The resultsare as follows: on feed May 1, 107 percent; placed inApril, 110 percent; and marketed during April, 97 per-cent. The report was interpreted as bearish as place-ments were well higher than expected. This would leadone to believe that cattle prices may continue to remainon the defensive for the next several months because ofthe ample supplies. The fact that the market may beoversold at the present time, only presents the possibil-ity that a short-term rally might be possible. Producersshould be cognizant of the current market conditionsand use any strength to protect inventories.

NYSTROM, from pg. 22catalysts. To some extent, corn and soy-beans joined the rally-reversal from lastweek’s losses. The U.S. dollar ended the week on afirm note, but was still down 0.29 points for theweek. The dollar had a modicum of influences ondaily moves, but in general was not a major factorthis week in grains.
Livestock and ethanol margins were squeezed thisweek with the price recovery. Weekly export saleswere decent after last week’s setback, coming in at33.2 million bushels for old crop and 12.1 millionbushels for new crop. Old crop total commitmentsare now 3 percent behind last year.
The Chicago Mercantile Exchange will launchweekly grain options beginning May 23 for corn, soy-beans and Chicago wheat. With the introduction,there will be an option expiring every Friday that isnot the last trading day for a current standard orserial option. These short-dated options (approxi-mately 28 days) will work in the same manner asexisting standard and serial options. For more infor-mation, contact Country Hedging or log on to theCME website at www.cmegroup.com/weeklyags.
OUTLOOK: Funds were big buyers this week
which added to fundamentalstrength. Until the crop is better
established, setbacks are likely to bebought by end-users. Watch basis levels to leadstrength in the nearby markets. The next resistancelevel in the December contract is the contract high at$6.84 with support at last week’s low of $6.15 1/4 perbushel.
SOYBEANS — Soybeans were the weak sisterthis week, but still posted good overall gains. TheJuly soybean contract rolled 50 3/4 cents higher andthe November contract posted a 39 3/4-cent gain.China returned to the export arena this week bypurchasing 110,000 metric tons of new crop U.S. soy-beans. The weekly export number for last week’sactivity was neutral at only 6.1 million bushels andno new crop sales. Total export commitments for theyear fell to 8 percent ahead of last year.
Soybeans were pulled higher this week by weatherforecasts, corn and wheat action, and nearbydemand. We need all the pieces to slip into place thisyear to avoid smaller ending stocks for 2011-12 thanare already being forecasted. Any hitch in theprocess could spur new rallies. Soybean planting isexpected to advance to nearly 40 percent this coming
week, up from last week’s 22 percent. The five-yearaverage planting progress is 51 percent for thisdate.
OUTLOOK: South America is flush with soy-beans, China’s purchases have slowed, and weatherconditions may invite additional acres (in spite ofthe ratio favoring corn, planting dates will have aninfluence). All these factors combined to make it dif-ficult for soybeans to be the leader higher this week.
However, for now, the lagging planting pace isstaring us in the face and demanding attentionwhich makes weather forecasts an on-going marketforce to support gains. In their current follower role,the first resistance in November soybeans is $13.78with support near $13/bu.
Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the weekending May 20: Minneapolis wheat was 99 1/2 centshigher, Kansas City up 63 3/4 cents and Chicago 783/4 cents higher. July crude oil settled at $100.10 forthe week, down a measly 2 cents, heating oil down2.4 cents, gasoline fell 13.9 cents and natural gaslost 1.6 cents. The U.S. dollar index was 0.29 pointslower this week, gold rallied $19.90 and the Dowwas down 35 points. The weekly jobless report wasbetter than expected at 409,000 this week.

TEALE, from pg. 22cattle market, as prices have remained almoststeady to even higher. The futures market has suf-fered the most weakness during the past few weeks,narrowing the gap between futures and cash whichhad been abnormally wide.
During the early part of May the pork cutoutsreached record levels, but because of the higherprices domestic demand soon began to suffer. Theexport demand has continued to be a plus and,because of the disparity of pork prices in comparisonto other meats, should continue to remain fairly firm.
Obviously the delayed spring has also hurt domes-tic demand as the grilling season has not yet gotteninto full swing. Seasonally, we normally see a declinein hog prices into the fall and this year looks to benormal again. Producers should be aware of the sea-sonality of the market and use premiums and ralliesin the market to protect inventories.
Demand will dictate the future price movement inlivestock markets over the next few months, not nec-essarily the supply.
Demand in commandNEHER, from pg. 22continued inflation of land, inputs and machinerywill prevail. All of this will take place in an environ-ment of volatility that may challenge our mentalfortitude and management.
The current situation will create additional volatil-ity in both the futures markets and the cash markets.Grain in the Upper Midwest that was expected to beshipped in the nearby, will be backed up in thepipeline until the river system is cleared. This willtend to keep the basis bids soft until grain starts tomove efficiently. On the other side of the river in thesoutheastern United States, basis will remain stronguntil the supply line delivers much-needed inventory.
In my last column I stated that the commodity mar-
kets acted tired and were losing momentum. Sincethat time, we have seen investment money and end-users come back into the market, driving prices higher.As of this writing, the old highs have not been takenout and continue to hold. This has been a reflection ofthe continued planting struggle. As the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture planting progress and crop condi-tion reports roll out, the market will find reason to fur-ther challenge the old highs or test the downside.
Remember that “Where the markets will go,nobody knows” and “Where the money flows, themarkets will go.” Margin management continues toprovide the Grain Angle to help us build a warchest of working capital. This will be the “shockabsorber” that will help cushion a Black Swan land-ing.

This column was written for the mar-keting week ending May 20.
April milk production in the top 23 dairyproducing states hit 15.5 billion pounds,according to the U.S. Department of Agri-culture’s preliminary estimate, up 1.7 per-cent from April 2010. April output in the50-state total was 16.7 billion pounds, up1.5 percent. Revisions subtracted 6 millionpounds from the March estimate whichended up at 15.8 billion, up 2.4 percentfrom a year ago. The Chicago MercantileExchange’s Daily Dairy Report said the1.5 percent increase in April milk pro-duction was below most expectations.
April cow numbers in the 23 dairy states was 8.43million head, up 8,000 from March, and 97,000 morethan a year ago. Production per cow averaged 1,834pounds, up 9 pounds from a year ago.
California production was up 2.6 percent from ayear ago, thanks to 14,000 more cows in the herd, butoutput per cow was down 5 pounds. Wisconsin wasdown 0.1 percent on a 10-pound loss per cow. Cownumbers were up 5,000 head. New York was up 0.8percent, thanks to a 15-pound gain per cow. Cow num-bers were unchanged. Idaho was up 4.6 percent on19,000 more cows and a 20-pound gain per cow. Penn-sylvania was off 0.8 percent due to a 20-pound gainper cow. Cow numbers were up 2,000. Minnesota wasdown as well, off 1.9 percent on a 35-pound loss percow, though cow numbers were up a thousand head.
The biggest gain occurred in Arizona, up 8.2 per-cent despite a 20-pound loss per cow but that was off-set by an additional 16,000 cows. Colorado was next,up 7.8 percent, followed by Texas, up 7.2 percent. Tex-
ans saw a 60-pound gain per cow andmilked 16,000 more cows than a year ago.
The biggest decline was in Ohio, down 5percent, thanks to a 60-pound drop percow and 4,000 fewer of them. Missouriwas next, down 4.5 percent, followed byIllinois, down 2.4 percent.
Jerry Dryer, editor of the Dairy & FoodMarket Analyst, a weekly e-newsletter, saidthe report was bullish. “Output per cow isslipping and was below year-ago levels in sev-eral states during April. High feed prices and
feed quality seem to be the culprits.”■
Meanwhile, the USDA estimated237,800 culled dairy cows were slaughtered underfederal inspection in April 2011, down about 30,300head from March 2011, but 3,000 more than April2010. Compared to a month earlier, cow slaughterwas down in all reporting regions, with biggestdeclines in the West and Midwest. January to April2011 dairy cow slaughter was estimated at 1.019 mil-lion head, up 72,400 from the same period in 2010.
Cheese traders the third week of May were looking forsome direction following the previous week’s decline, thefirst in two weeks, mostly attributed to revisions inCME butter stocks which we reported on last week.Traders got that direction this week and it was up.
By the way, the CME is discontinuing that weeklyreport on butter storage and a similar report on nonfatdry milk. FC Stone dairy economist Bill Brooks said thereport provided data for traders of deliverable futures,but “the market has shifted to cash-settled butter con-tracts. ...The basis for data in the reports changed as dif-ferent warehouses and warehouse users participated.”
“Even though the butter report didn’t have a con-sistent relationship to USDA stocks data, the reportdid give a sense of the direction in stocks,” Brookssaid, but he also told me that the CME had floatedthe idea of ending these reports two to three monthsago, so last week’s occurrence was perhaps the
“straw that broke the camel’s back.”■
Checking the markets, CME cash block cheese closedFriday at $1.7075 per pound, up 8.5 cents on the week,and 20.75 cents above a year ago. Barrel closed at$1.71, up 6.75 cents on the week, and 23.25 centsabove a year ago. Sixteen cars of block and nine of bar-rel traded hands in the cash market on the week. TheNational Agricultural Statistics Service-surveyed U.S.average price on block cheese hit $1.6262, up 0.8 cent,while the barrels averaged $1.6493, up 3.1 cents.
The cheese market was “unsettled to weak,” accord-ing to USDA’s Dairy Market News, and “short-termprice resistance seems to have developed as buyersexpect cheese offerings to build as milk intakes andcheese production heads toward the spring peak.” Cur-rent interest is moderate and process orders are steadyto improved. Processors and packagers are shippingorders to retailers and summer vacation locations forMemorial Day weekend use, the report said.
Cash butter stole the show this week after plunging14.5 cents the previous week. The rebound started onthat Friday and shot up from there to close the fol-lowing Friday at $2.07, up 12 cents on the week, and49 cents above a year ago. Sixteen cars found newhomes. NASS butter averaged $2.0791, up 5.7 cents.
Churning schedules are increasing across the country,according to the USDA. Producers expected some inven-tory building, especially when the price fell below $2 inanticipation of prices returning to the $2 level later thissummer and fall, but here we are back at $2 already.Butter demand is mixed, USDA says, though the lowerprices increased interest from ice cream manufacturers.
It remained to be seen whether the additional but-ter reported in last week’s revision would show up inthe April Cold Storage report, which was releasedafter trading was completed on Friday. It was notexpected to mean much because the butter inventorylevel would still be below that of a year ago.
■On a brighter note, California’s Milk Producers

MIELKE, from pg. 26can only be filled from “NorthernHemisphere sources.” That means theUnited States because Europe’s pro-duction is expected to go to Russia,according to the MPC.
Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closedFriday at $1.62, down a penny on theweek. Extra Grade was down 2.5 cents,closing at $1.61. NASS powder averaged$1.6137, up 1.4 cents, and dry wheyaveraged 49.36 cents, up a half cent.
The USDA announced the June federalorder Class I base milk price Friday at$20.32 per hundredweight, up 57 centsfrom May, $5.04 above June 2010, andequates to about $1.75 per gallon.The 2011Class I average now stands at $18.14, upfrom $14.42 at this time a year ago.
The Class IV advanced pricing factorremained the “higher of” in driving theClass I value and the National MilkProducers Federation’s Roger Cryandoes not see a Milk Income Loss Con-
tract payment to pro-ducers.
The NASS-surveyed but-ter price averaged $2.0460/lb., up 5.9cents from May. Nonfat dry milk aver-aged $1.6065, up 3.7 cents. Cheese aver-aged $1.6413, down 3.6 cents, and drywhey averaged 49.15 cents, up 1.4 cents.
■Flooding along the Mississippi River
and the temporary halt in shipping mayor may not have an effect on dairy. Thatremains to be seen. Brooks said he does-n’t expect much impact long-term.
Fluid milk production is building to thepeak across most of the country, accord-ing to the USDA, with the southern tierof states at or past their peak in manycases. Hot weather and dry temperaturesare accelerating declines in the South.Transportation costs remain a significantfactor for surplus supplies. The centraland northern tier is seeing increasingmilk output albeit slowly as warmweather is slow to arrive.
The CooperativesWorking Together pro-
gram accepted fourrequests for export assistance thisweek from Dairy Farmers of America tosell a total of 1.76 million pounds ofCheddar cheese to customers inEurope, Asia and the Middle East. Theproduct will be delivered May throughOctober and raised CWT’s 2011 cheeseexport total to 31.9 million pounds to19 countries.
■Looking “back to the futures,” the
Class III contract’s average for the lasthalf of 2011 was $17.65/cwt. on April29, $17.64 on May 6, and $17.49 onMay 13.
The USDA warns in its latest Live-
stock, Dairy and Poultry Outlook thathigh feed prices this year and next willpressure producer profits. Cow numberswill show a slight decline into 2012, itsaid, but higher milk output per cowwill continue to boost production in boththe current year and next year.
■Finally, some wit for the week: All of
us could take a lesson from the weather;it pays no attention to criticism. If youhave some wit of your own to share,send it to me at [email protected].

Many farmers in the Upper Midwestare dealing with late planting condi-tions for corn and soybeans in 2011.
Some of these producers will soon befacing decisions on whether to plantcorn, the intended crop, at a later-than-normal planting date, switch toan alternative crop such as soybeans,or decide to collect prevented plantingcoverage on their 2011 corn crop.
For producers with Federal CropInsurance coverage on corn andsoybeans in 2011, the “PreventedPlanting” provisions of their cropinsurance policies could affect thelate planting decision. It is important forproducers to consult with their cropinsurance agent before finalizing anydecisions on planting a crop after thefinal planting deadline, or switchingcrops from corn to soybeans after May 31in Minnesota, Iowa and South Dakota.
According to the U.S.Department of Agri-culture Risk Management Agency,produc-ers have the following options with regardsto delayed or prevented planting later thanthe established final planting dates(Remember, these provisions are not appli-cable until after the final planting dates).
• Plant the insured crop during thelate planting period, which is typically
25 days followingthe established finalplanting date for agiven crop. (Exam-
ple: A finalplanting date ofMay 31 for corn
would result in alate planting period from June 1-25.)The crop insurance coverage is reducedby 1 percent for each day after the finalplanting date for the next 25 days.
• Plant the intended crop after the25-day Late Planting Period. Cropsthat are planted after the 25-day LatePlanting Period are insured at thesame level as the prevented plantinginsurance coverage, which is 60 percentof the original crop insurance guaran-tee for most corn and soybeans. (Exam-ple: An original revenue guaranteewith an 80 percent RP crop insurancepolicy of $800 per acre would result ina $480 prevented planting guarantee.)
• Leave the unplanted crop acreage idle(black dirt). Eligible producers can thenreceive the full prevented planting cover-age, typically 60 percent of the original cropinsurance guarantee for corn and soybeans.
• Plant a cover crop rather than theintended crop, and receive the full pre-vented planting payment (60 percent ofguarantee on the intended crop). Thecover crop can not be used for haying andgrazing until after Nov. 1 of the crop year,and cannot be harvested at any time.
• Plant another crop (second crop)after the late planting period hasended. In this situation, haying, graz-ing or harvesting of the second cropcould occur at any time before or afterNov. 1. The prevented planting pay-ment is reduced to 35 percent of theoriginal prevented planted payment.(Example: $800/acre original guaranteex 0.60 = $480/acre x 0.35 = $168/acre)
Note:The payment reductions (65 percentof the full prevented planting coverage) for
a second crop may not apply, if the pro-ducer meets the “double-cropping” specifi-cations in a crop insurance policy.Typi-cally this does not apply to corn andsoybean insurance policies in the Midwest.
Here are some additional points toconsider relative to late planting andprevented planting crop insurance cov-erage for corn and soybeans.Late planting insurance coverage
As mentioned earlier, the productionguarantee is reduced by 1 percent for eachday that corn or soybeans are planted afterthe Final Planting Date for the next 25days.The situation gets more complicatedif part of a crop insurance unit is plantedbefore the Final Planting Date, but the bal-ance of the acreage is planted on variousplanting dates after that date, which ismore likely to occur if the producer chose toinsure the 2011 corn and soybean crop uti-lizing “enterprise units.”

Crop insurance strategies to consider with late planting

PROGRAMS, from pg. 28intended crop by thefinal planting date,due to weather condi-tions or natural disasters, may choose not to plantthe crop at all.
In which case, the producer with a qualifying cropinsurance policy would qualify for prevented plantinginsurance coverage, which is 60 percent of the originalinsurance guarantee. Producers with group insurancecoverage policies (GRP or GRIP) are not eligible forprevented planting insurance coverage. Remember, if aproducer chooses to accept a full prevented plantingpayment on all or part of a crop insurance farm unit,they cannot plant and harvest a second crop, and can-not hay and graze a cover crop until after Nov. 1. Fail-ure to comply with this could result is loss of cropinsurance coverage for the 2011 crop year, as well aspotential other penalties.
If a second crop is planted instead of the intendedcrop after final planting date and before the end of thelate planting period ends, the crop insurance coverageon the second crop would replace the insurance cover-age on the first crop, provided the second crop is eligiblefor crop insurance coverage. If a second crop is plantedafter the late planting period ends, the producer couldreceive 35 percent of the prevented planting coverageon the intended crop, and would have reduced insur-ance coverage on the second crop. It is important thatproducers contact their crop insurance agent beforeplanting the second crop in order to maintain maxi-mum insurance coverage.
Check Example 2 (Page 30) to demonstrate thevariations in late planting insurance coverage.Minimum acreage for prevented planting
To qualify for prevented planting insurance coverageand payments, affected areas must be a minimum of 20acres in size, or 20 percent of the total insured acreage,
on farm units of less than 100 acres. Small areas ofland do not qualify for prevented planting coverage,which could be a factor on some smaller land tractswith optional unit insurance coverage.
Meeting the 20 percent threshold may be easierwith enterprise units, if most crop acres areaffected; however, it could become more difficult ifsome farms are affected, and some are not.
Key points on crop insurance cover-age with late and prevented planting
• All prevented planting crop insur-ance losses must be reported to the cropinsurance agent before the producerdoes any additional options regarding asecond crop or cover crop.
• Producers need to keep good recordsand documentation of all crop insurancelosses, and make sure that those lossesare verified by the crop insurance agent.
• Producers should review their cropinsurance policy or consult their cropinsurance agent to make sure that theyunderstand all requirements, restrictions,etc., relative to their crop insurance cover-age with late and prevented planting.

PROGRAMS, from pg. 29• Producers need to
remember that they are notforced to plant the intended cropafter the final planting date, and areeligible to receive a prevented plant-ing payment, which is 60 percent ofthe original crop insurance guaran-tee for corn and soybeans.
• Producers need to consult theircrop insurance agent before plantinga second crop, such as soybeans, onintended corn acres to make surethey understand all the crop insur-ance implications, and the potentialaffect on possible crop insuranceindemnity payments.
• Producers who are facing latecorn planting after the final plantingdate should analyze the overallfinancial implications of planting
corn late, plant-ing soybeans or
collecting a pre-vented planting crop insurancepayment.
• A producer’s crop insuranceagent is the best source of informa-tion on late and prevented plantingcrop insurance coverage. The fol-lowing websites also have somegood information on late and pre-vented planting insurance options.
Iowa State University AgDecision Maker website:www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm
USDA RMA website:www.rma.usda.govBottom line
Every producer’s situation is dif-ferent when it comes to late and
prevented planting situations. As aresult, the best option will vary con-siderably from farm-to-farm.
In addition to differences in produc-tion practices and yield potential,there are differences in level of insur-ance coverage, optional or enterpriseunits, and other crop insurance provi-sions. The choice that a producermakes could result in a difference ofthousands of dollars in the potential
insurance coverage that is available.That is why it is so critical for produc-ers to consult with their crop insur-ance agent before finalizing late andprevented planting crop decisions.

ESSAGE >>

Sixty-five of those Carnegielibraries were built in Minnesota.Many were built in small rural com-munities such as Browns Valley,Chatfield, Dawson, Fairmont,Graceville, Lake City, Madison,Ortonville, Zumbrota, Spring Valleyand Little Falls.
In their application to Carnegie toobtain money, communities had to
show that they had a need for alibrary, that they had publicly ownedland to build one on and that theywere willing to raise 10 percent of theconstruction cost, in taxes, each yearto pay for operating the library.
Carnegie was the epitome of theAmerican self-made man. He came toAmerica as a poor immigrant andeventually became one of his era’swealthiest men. He succeeded throughhard work, basic intelligence and acuriosity that was fed by books. InCarnegie’s time libraries were ofteneither private collections or subscrip-tion libraries. The idea of free tax-sup-ported libraries was just gaining trac-tion. Farmers and working people
generally didn’t have access tolibraries and some even thought theyshouldn’t. But Carnegie had a grandvision of a nation of self-made citizens.The energy, intelligence and motiva-tion would be provided by America’shuge immigrant population. Carnegiewould provide a home for the informa-tion they needed to succeed.
By the time Carnegie was donebuilding libraries he had built thou-sands of them, and farmers and work-ing people across the country had easyaccess to great literature, equipmentrepair manuals and the entire range ofinformation available from library.Many of those libraries still servetheir original purpose.
Little Falls received a $10,000Carnegie grant in 1902 and built theirlibrary in 1904. Like Carnegie librariesin most small towns, the Little Fallslibrary was one of the grandest buildingsin the community. Its exterior Craftsmandesign and interior architecture of finewoodwork and high ceilings were anappropriately inspirational setting forthe wealth of information it held. In 2000an addition was added and the buildingcontinues to serve the town as theirbranch to the Great River RegionalLibrary.
No one has measured the impact ofthat $10,000 grant to Little Falls andthe broader world; it would surely beimmeasurable.
