Rabbits add variety to 4-H’er Oliver Leafblad’s life

Story on 0A

Twelve thousand, five hundred andforty-nine people stopped by the Min-nesota House of Representatives booth atthe Minnesota State Fair this year andfilled out a 13-question survey.

Twelve thousand, four hundred andninety-six of them made it all the way tothe final question: “Do you know who yourstate representative is?”

Eleven thousand and twenty-six politi-cally aware people — the vast majority —answered in the affirmative.

One thousand, three hundred andfifty-four less knowledgeable, yet hon-est, folks admitted they did not.

One hundred and sixteen were undecided.Think about that last number for a second. It was-

n’t that those 116 people didn’t know their state rep;they didn’t know if they didn’t know their state rep.Some might describe those people as having a condi-tion known as “rocks for brains.”

If my snide negativity depresses you, and you’dprefer a more upbeat spin on things, I can cheerfullyreport that statistics indicate less than 1 percent ofall participants in the Minnesota House of Represen-tatives’ State Fair poll have rocks for brains.

That is, unless you are in favor of the state consti-tution being amended to define marriage as only aunion of one man and one woman (Question No. 2),in which case you most likely think that 66.5 percentof those surveyed have craniums full of pebbles.

According to survey results, a similar two-out-of-three majority of numbskulls also believe that:

• If the governor and legislators cannot agree on astate budget for an upcoming biennium, the currentlevel of funding should remain in effect to prevent agovernment shutdown. (Question No. 1)

• The state constitution should not be changed toallow the Legislature to call itself into special ses-sion. (Question No. 7)

• The state’s sales tax should not be expanded toincluding clothing purchases. (Question No. 3)

• Local governments should not be permitted toimpose a sales tax without legislative authorization.(Question No. 6)

• Students should be required to stay in schoolthrough age 18 or graduation, whichever comes first.(Question No. 5)

• There should be publicly funded preschool for all

children. (Question No. 10)• and it should be illegal to use a cellu-

lar phone while driving, except for anemergency. (Question No. 11)

On the remaining four survey questions,the brick-head to non-brick-head ratiowas basically 50-50:

• Half don’t want warm-weather anglersto be able to use two lines; Half are infavor or don’t care. (Question No. 4)

• Half want to require voters to show acurrent, government-issued picture ID

before casting a ballot; Half do not.(Question No. 8) • Half want an expansion of gambling

to provide additional state revenue; Half do not ordon’t care. (Question No. 9)

• Half would support a law that says workers arenot required to join a union as a condition of employ-ment; Half would not or don’t care. (Question No. 12)

I’ll let you decide for yourself what any of thatmeans. I’d try to be fair and balanced about it, butI’m a bit of a rock-for-brains myself.

Speaking of politics, I recently read that U.S. Rep.Tim Walz, D-Minn., is among a small number ofHouse lawmakers who have been giving portions oftheir Congressional paychecks back to the govern-ment as a token of their desire to reduce the nationaldebt. Walz, for instance, has been returning about$2,200 each quarter, equal to the salary increaseshe’s received since joining Congress in 2007. (Myapologies if this is old news to you; I never got thememo.)

Freshman U.S. Rep. Chris Gibson, R-N.Y., a retiredArmy colonel, upped the ante considerably recentlyby tapping his military pension. In the second quar-ter of 2011 Gibson returned nearly $20,000, to beginmaking good on a campaign pledge that he wouldpay back his $68,000 annual pension while servinghis country in his new political role.

In 2010, members of Congress were paid $174,000,so Walz’ move is effectively a self-imposed 5 percentpay cut, while Gibson’s equates to a 28 percent cut.Both men’s efforts are largely symbolic — their$76,000 total payback, which would be a far-aboveaverage salary for most Americans, is not even ascratch in the national debt. But it is important that

Can you repeat the question?

To the Editor: When you have a problem

is it more important to find aperson to blame, or to find a solution?

In our current recession PresidentObama and the Democrats blamedPresident Bush and the Republicans,which is considered good politics —always blame the other party for thebad things, and take credit for thegood. Next it was the insuranceindustry, the banks, business, richpeople, the Tea Party, drug companies,low taxes, Congress, etc.

I’m reminded aboutthe story of the wild

pigs in the forest.

The villagers loved to catch them;they were delicious. The only problemwas that the pigs were wily and youcould never get near them. But a fel-low came along and told the villagersthat he could get them all if they gavehim a little time. He took some cornout into the forest and just threw it outonto the ground. It didn’t take long forthe pigs to find the corn and every dayhe took more out to them.

He put up a few fence posts aroundthe area, then gradually a fence —adding an open gate. He waited untilthose trusting pigs were eating theirfree corn and closed the gate. The vil-lagers said the pigs were very tasty.

For many years now the federal gov-ernment paid 56 percent of the cost ofwelfare for the states while the stateand local governments shared theother 44 percent.

The Fed sets the standards andrules. The federal government pays abig portion of highway constructioncosts, but they set the rules and pre-vailing wages. If a local governmentwants a new building or project theFeds will pay part of the costs, but theyset the rules. Our medical bills are nowgoing to be paid by the federal govern-

ment, but they set the rules.

The federal government is now bor-rowing 40 percent of the money thatthey are “giving” to us. This is a mort-gage on every person in the country formany years to come. The dollars thatmany of us have put away for ourretirement will not buy very much inthe years to come.

Republicans, Tea Party members andmany conservative Democrats are com-ing to understand that nothing is free.

It’s hard for many of us to listen tothe president when in one speech hesays “there is nothing that we can’t doif we all get together” and in the nexthe is adding a new group as enemies.

OPINION

LAND MINDS, from pg. 2A“regular” folk who are struggling withtheir own pay cuts, salary freezes, fur-loughs and layoffs see that their Rep-resentatives acknowledge those strug-gles.

Every U.S. Representative and Sena-tor should join Walz and Gibson.

■

Finally, I note the passing of KatyOlson of rural Sherburn, Minn., onAug. 14 at the age of 82. Many long-time readers of The Land will remem-ber Katy’s service to farmers and ruralMinnesota as a state representative.

From her obituary:“Katy spent her life being a champion

for rural education and the agricultureindustry, an advocate for all children, asupporter of women and a strongDemocrat. ...

“In 1986 Katy ran for and was electedto the Minnesota House of Representa-tives for District 28B, the first womanto have been elected from her district.Katy was one of only six women in theHouse that year, but she was proud tohave 27 other women serving in theHouse with her in her last term, thelargest class of women in the legislativehistory of Minnesota. ...

“Katy was a strong advocate for farm-ers and rural education and authoredand helped pass many bills to that end.Katy was held in high esteem by hercolleagues, regardless of their politicalparty, and was greatly missed by allwhen she retired in 1994.”

And from the book “Minnesota

Women in Politics” by Billie Young andNancy Ankeny, regarding Katy’s initialconfrontation with the Good Ol’ BoysClub upon entering the Statehouse:

“Her interest, based on her 10 yearsas a school board member, was in edu-cation, and she soon found herself onthe education committee. As she haddone on the school board, she madesure she knew the issues. She was alsoplaced on the agriculture committee, arather ‘low-priority assignment.’

“It was immediately apparent to Katythat she was the ‘token woman’ on thecommittee. The other members talkedaround her and generally ignored herpresence. Only when she began speak-ing of ridge-tilling farm practices, thehorsepower of tractors and fertilizerapplications, did the men tumble to thefact they had a lifetime farmer in theirmidst.

“As she said, ‘They had a hard timestumping me.’”

My own connection to Katy Olsonwas through marriage; she had justretired from politics when I first mether. She was easily the most colorful,strong-willed and wonderfully memo-rable character in a sprawlingextended family full of such characters.While there is loss in Katy’s passing,even more so there is joy in knowingshe continues to inspire so many — toserve with passion, work withintegrity, and delight in fellowship.

A few weeks back, I was talkingwith an old friend from a town inwestern Minnesota. He was tellingme about an odd problem facingone of the companies in his county.

It seems the company was hav-ing difficulty finding enough quali-fied candidates for the multipleopen positions they had at theirmanufacturing facility.

The conversation came just a fewdays after the latest round of negativenews stories about the nation’s stub-bornly high unemployment rate, andit got me thinking. In the past, the

assumption across muchof the rural Midwest wasthat if you lost your job,your best strategy forfinding a new job involvedpulling up stakes andrelocating to a larger met-

ropolitan area.This mindset helped drive a decades-

long population drain from the GreatPlains, and helped fuel the growth ofurban areas like Minneapolis-St. Paul.

However, as the economy has contin-ued to evolve, the jobs landscape seemsto have evolved along with it. One of thedevelopments we are now seeing is that,thanks to the sustained strong demandfor American food and other farm prod-ucts, we are now finding more employ-ment opportunities outside our cities, inareas dominated by agriculture.

A recent survey of 13,000 Minnesotafirms by the Minnesota Department ofEmployment and Economic Develop-ment found that during the secondquarter of 2011, the number of jobvacancies in greater Minnesotaexpanded almost twice as fast as thenumber of job vacancies in the TwinCities. The survey also found thatgreater Minnesota had a job vacancyrate of 2.6 percent compared to a TwinCities rate of 2.0 percent.

Another number that jumps out in thesurvey is the percentage change in num-ber of job vacancies by industry.Whereasall of Minnesota saw a 32-percentincrease in job vacancies from secondquarter 2010 to second quarter 2011, onecategory — the one labeled “Agriculture”— increased by 590.5 percent.

Economists will caution us not toplace too much weight on a singlequarterly report, but I think this is an

interesting development — especiallygiven long-standing expectationsmany people have had about futureemployment opportunities clusteringin our major cities. Those of us who areinvolved in our farm and food economyshould be proud of the nearly 350,000Minnesota jobs created and sustainedby agriculture and food.

As summer turns to fall, we’ll behearing a lot more about how we cankick-start job creation and economicgrowth. Gov. Dayton, for example, isleading a trade delegation to SouthKorea at the end of September in anattempt to raise Minnesota’s economicreach in that important export market.

He is also traveling around the statethis fall talking about the jobs issue,and what the state needs to do to makesure we get more of our fellow Min-nesotans back to work.

There are many good ideas out there,and the governor and I recognize thatone of the best ideas is to build on thepositive momentum in our cornerstoneagriculture and food industry.

OPINION

So corn is rockin’ north of $7, beansare toyin’ with $14, cattle look to beheaded to who-knows-where, wheatprices for almost every variety aretall to really tall, and hogs, well,bacon is sellin’ for what steak used to.

Wow, huh? And here are two moresweet words: land values.

Second quarter 2011 farmland val-ues in the Seventh Federal ReserveDistrict, the buckle of the Midwest’sCorn Belt that includes all of Iowa andmost of Illinois and Indiana, rose anastonishing 17 percent over a year ago.

And, yes, that was the largest year-to-year quar-terly rise since the 1970s.

What? What did I say?Oh, the 1970s. Sorry, what do I know?Probably not much because 36 percent of the Sev-

enth District’s ag bankers think farmland values willcontinue to increase while “just 2 percent ... expectfarmland values to fall in the third quarter of 2011,”noted the Chicago Fed’s August AgLetter.

That’s 18 bulls to every one bear and bankers arerarely wrong, right?

So don’t worry; be happy.Besides, scolds like me will do the handwringing

over little things that might tarnish the golden har-vest of September and October. Little things like, say,jobs because — just guessin’ here — it’s hard to sell$13 ribeyes to people without paychecks.

Even worse (but don’t worry, I’m on the case), theU.S. economy continues to shed well-paying jobs.Indeed, between January 2001 and January 2010,the number of American manufacturing jobs fell 32percent, from 17.5 million to 11.7 million.

During that same decade, the U.S. tradedeficit for manufactured goods, according toCommerce Department data, climbed — readyfor this? — an almost perfectly coincidental 30percent.

The big winner in that job and money migrationwas China. It not only got many of those 5.5 millionformer U.S. factory jobs, our annual trade deficit tothe once-Red, now-barely pink nation soared from$84 billion in 2001 to $275 billion in 2011.

The simplest, nearly universal solution to thesedebilitating trends requires political action: theAmerican government must force a yuan re-evalua-tion that drains China of its huge — and hugely sub-sidized — market advantage here.

Such a move, or even talk of such a move, is notgood for you, U.S. farm prices, U.S. land values andany Chinese person who happens to eat. But it’shard to see any U.S. job push without a similar pushfor Chinese currency reform and ...

Well, let me worry about that for you.While I’m at it, let me worry about Europe, too. I

know you know that several of the Continent’snational treasuries are under water. For example,Ireland’s national debt to gross domestic productratio is, whoa, 119 percent and Greece’s is — ooh —158 percent.

Those bad numbers likely will get worse becausethe European Union’s economic growth is as sick asours. Last quarter, U.S. GDP grew 0.3 percent whileFrance’s didn’t grow at all and Germany’s burpedupwards a tiny 0.1 percent.

Interestingly, lovely old Belgium, without a gov-ernment for 17 months, was the Euro-zone winnerlast quarter as GDP there grew 0.7 percent.

The lesson, cheekily wrote John Lanchester in theSept. 8 London Review of Books, is that “(F)rom aneconomic point of view, in the current crisis, no gov-ernment is better than any government.”

Maybe for Belgium but not so for America, one-fourth the world’s economy. More political stalematehere means more economic trouble both here and inEurope, a quarter of the world economy, also. Assuch, if one-half of the global economy continues tosputter, how long can $7 corn and 17 percentincreases in land values hold?

Relax, beans are headed to $14 and cows to themoon. What could possibly go wrong? Besides, I got it.

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

Walking the livestock and poultry barns at theMinnesota State Fair is truly a hands-on learningexperience.

“Incredible” best describes the various species andthe multitudes of breeds within each species. Startchecking the hundreds of ribbons on display andyou also recognize the incredible number of differ-ent 4-H competitions. Like behind Oliver Leafblad’srabbit pens at the State Fair was a huge banner andribbon proclaiming Reigning Division I, RabbitHerdsmanship, third place. Herdsmanship competi-tion even in showing rabbits? Absolutely.

Leafblad, 12, already has six years in the rabbitbusiness. His Meeker County 4-H’ers earned theHerdsmanship honors last year.

State Fair competition makes the rabbit businesseven more intriguing for Leafblad, now a three-yearState Fair veteran. This year he showed bothChampagne and Mini Rex rabbit breeds.

He credits his aunt for getting him started in therabbit business. She was raising Champagne, ameat-type rabbit that is now becoming a successfullivestock enterprise for young Leafblad. Matureweights of 10 to 12 pounds in eight months accountfor the growing popularity of this breed. Mini Rexon the other hand is a small, furry rabbit for showsand as pets.

“The Mini Rex is a popular pet because it’s smalland cute. I sell them right from our house locally

but they are popular everywhere,” Leafblad said. Ifyour Mini Rex qualifies for the State Fair it becomesa $70 to $80 animal, he said.

As everyone knows rabbits are prolific, with only a30- to 32-day gestation that often produces six toeight kits (baby rabbits). “If you want you can havesix to seven litters per year which quickly adds up to30+ rabbits from a single doe in one year,” said Leaf-blad, who suggests that perhaps rabbit meat ishealthier too. “Leaner meat with less fat makes theChampagne a terrific protein food item, especially ifslow cooked.”

He markets his Champagne rabbits to Hoppin’Fresh, a specialty meat store in Hector that special-

izes in rabbit meat. His buyer prefers a six- to seven-pound liveweight which provides a four- to five-pound carcass that is more affordable and perhaps atad more tender. “I’m selling for $1.50 per poundliveweight. At this lighter weight we call them fry-ers,” said Leafblad whose rabbits have qualified forthe State Fair three consecutive years. But it’s thosesix years of 4-H competition at the Meeker CountyFair that has groomed him into being a championexhibitor at the State Fair.

His future in the rabbit business? “I’ll see how farit takes me,” he said.

Brandon Severns’ turkeys have different ways ofgoing about their lives.

Some of his 60 or so birds are alphas that domi-nate their fellow poultry, while others are calm andwill let themselves be pet. Still others are shy andfly away when a person comes near.

But the 15-year-old from Good Thunder, Minn.,learned early you can’t get attached to animals des-tined for the dinner plate.

“Me and my sister cried the first few years,” hesaid. “Now, as you get older, you learn it’s their pur-pose in life.”

Severns got introduced to turkeys on his parents’hobby farm, and decided to raise them six years agowhen he joined 4-H, a program that gets youthinvolved in agriculture. The choice, as well as hishard work, would pay off.

On Sept. 4, Severns was named the prince of poul-try in a competition sponsored by 4-H and St.Cloud-based chicken producer Gold’n Plump. Thetitle comes with a $1,000 scholarship and someresponsibilities to be an ambassador for the poultryindustry.

He’s been doing plenty of that, having been inter-viewed by four television stations.

The Maple River High School sophomore said hedoesn’t mind, given the topic.

Despite his hard-earned turkey expertise, thisyear’s 4-H competition at the State Fair could’vebeen a disaster.

“I accidentally turned one of my birds purplewith a special kind of shampoo,” he said. Purpleis the color of champion ribbons for 4-H — as wellas the princely cape he wore for his coronation —but it is not a color for turkeys. The temporaryslip-up before the fair didn’t stop him, though.

He walked away with two purple ribbons for hisshow turkeys this year, one for the best marketturkeys (the kind you might buy for Thanksgiv-ing) and one for best showmanship. His youngersister won the showmanship prize for her agegroup.

The competition for prince includes an inter-view, a test on showmanship and a cooking con-test. The reigning poultry princess is Amy Ander-son of Isanti County. A portrait of the pair wasalso painted and their likenesses will appear onthe side of Gold’n Plump-sponsored fair trolleysnext summer.

The competition, in its second year, is about“rewarding the best and brightest of poultry tobecome ambassadors for the industry,” said RoryBidinger, brand advocacy and marketing managerfor Gold’n Plump.

Customers are more and more interested in howfood comes from the barn to the plate, he said.

Severns said he’s thinking about using that schol-

arship for one of two careers — turkey production ormedicine, perhaps as a surgeon.

Hayden Kerkaert was pretty high the night ofAug. 27.

He was high in a good way, and who could blame him?He and his grand champion hog, Tex, had just broughtin a record swine bid of $9,250 in the 4-H Purple RibbonLivestock Auction at the Minnesota State Fair.

“This is just awesome,” the Pipestone Area Schoolssophomore said. A group of supporters lead byHormel Foods, Pioneer Hi-Bred International andfriends of Pipestone County made the record bid.

The record-setting auction is the culmination of ahog show season that almost wasn’t.

The young Kerkaert and his dad, Barry, went to asale where Mark Hurd of Cleghorn, Iowa, brought

his hogs to be sold to 4-H’ers. “I hadseen Tex before at Mark’s farm, andwhen we got to the sale, I told myDad that I wanted that one,” Hay-den said. “But at the sale, he (Tex)was just kind of laying there and hedidn’t look too well.”

Tex’s appearance at the sale wasenough to make others pass on tak-ing him home, but Kerkaert knew

how he looked and how he moved.“I figured that if we got him home, Dad (who is a

veterinarian) would be able to nurse him back tohealth,” he said. “But we got him home and we neverhad to give him anything. ... he just didn’t take theride to the sale well.”

Other hogs came home that day, but it was Tex thatrose to the top as a show hog, and that was a com-mon place for him. “This barrow was unbeaten thisyear,” he said. “This is just the best.”

The young Kerkaert truly takes his 4-H responsi-bility seriously.

“I do all the work with him,” he said. In addition tofeeding and general care, that also includes 40-minute walks, both day and night, and oiling Texthree times a day.

“If I’m gone and someone else takes care of thehogs, I’m very picky how they cared for the hogs,” hesaid. “I prefer to take care of them myself.”

This show business is nothing new to Kerkaert, ashe was only 6 years old when he showed the reservechampion in the Minnesota State Fair open class.“That was the hook.”

Showing is a lineage in the Kerkaert family. Bothhis parents showed, as did his grandfather andgreat-grandfather. Hayden is hoping this show“drug” will also hook his two younger sisters: Jenna,a fifth grader, and Aubrey, a second grader.

Kerkaert also showed sheep at the county fair, tak-ing a grand champion, but he knew all along that itwould be Tex coming Falcon Heights with him.

“He’s just so good in the ring. I trust him and hetrusts me.”

While other high school boys are playing football,cross country or soccer this time of year, Kerkaert gavethat up for livestock. “I tried football, but I had to missa lot of practices for showing,” he said. “So I decidedlivestock in the fall, sports in the spring,” joining thehigh school baseball team. He is also an FFA member,and he enjoys the mix that FFA, baseball and 4-H givehim, but he admits 4-H is the tops in his eyes.

So what is next for a 4-H’er who achieved so much so earlyin his showing career? “Well, come back next year withanother hog,or maybe I’ll have a real good sheep again.”

Further down the road, he sees himself either fol-lowing in his Dad’s footsteps to become a vet, or inthe path of other role models. “I’d like to be a ‘showpig farmer.’ I’ve got to know a lot of them, and theyreally seem to love what they do.”

He said that Mark Hurd has become a good rolemodel for him. He also sees that as a way he couldpossibly give something back to future hog showmen.

Love of 4-H, show hogs fuels Kerkaert’s fireTH

Hayden Kerkaert


In 1967, Ron Eustice was a 21-yearold student majoring in agriculturejournalism at the University of Min-nesota.

However, that year something signif-icant happened to Eustice. He and fel-low Minnesotan Bonita Halfmann ofStephens, Minn., were selected by theMinnesota 4-H Foundation to partici-pate in the International Farm YouthExchange, a six-month experience thatputs 4-H Club alumnae in variouscountries around the world.

Eustice and Halfmann went toUruguay, a small South Americancountry nestled adjacent to theAtlantic Ocean between Brazil andArgentina. Eustice was hosted by eightdifferent families during that six-month stay, each involved in varioussegments of agriculture including beefproduction, dairy farming, fruit farm-ing and commercial truck farming.

“These were families of modestmeans and very typical of the ruralpopulation of Uruguay of that time,”said Eustice in a telephone interviewwith The Land. He stayed three weekswith each host family, directly enteringinto the life and work of each familyplus their rural youth organizationMovimiento de la Juventud Agraria.

Today, Eustice is executive directorof the Minnesota Beef Council. In Julyhe spent two weeks in Uruguay wherehe spoke at an International FoodSafety Conference, sponsored andfunded by the United Nations, in thecapital city of Montevideo.

The trip also included his reconnect-ing with three of eight of his “hostfarm” families he lived with during his1967 IFYE experience. Over the past44 years Eustice has corresponded andvisited with each of these families atvarious times.

“But what great pleasure to recon-nect in person,” Eustice said. “One ofmy host brothers and his daughtercame to the conference. He’s a formerdairy farmer who sold his dairy farmand is now doing custom forage har-vesting with a John Deere swather.The first thing we did when arriving athis farm home, after enjoying a greatmeal, was to go out into the country.He showed me silage that was being

stored in the horizontal plastic silosthat now also dominate the Minnesotadairy and beef scene.

“When I was there 44 years ago therewas no effort being made to providewinter feed for cattle and sheep. Theiragriculture simply wasn’t veryadvanced to the winter feeding of theirbeef and dairy animals. Their winterclimate, though not as harsh as Min-nesota, gets cold enough so there is lit-tle vegetative growth in their pastures.They were losing cattle and sheep fromlack of nutrition that winter. We dis-cussed how to go about storing somehay and silage for winter nutrition.

“My host farmer remembered thatdiscussion and today runs a customharvesting business with the whiteplastic silos dominating the country-side. It is personally very satisfying tolearn that our discussion 44 years agogot him into silage production.”

Eustice describes agriculture todayin Uruguay as being advanced withthe latest in farm equipment, technol-ogy abounding, GPS directional sys-tems, and modern feeds and feedingstrategies for their livestock. “They doeverything we do, from AI work to thelatest in seeds, feeds and fertilizer.”

He tells of a son of one of his hostfamilies who traveled to Chicago topurchase a John Deere tractor andcombine. This particular 33-year-oldfarmer today farms 6,000 acres. “Ilived with his father and aunt 44 yearsago when they were in their earlyteens.”

Eustice related that in 1967, some ofhis host families had electricity, butnot all. He doesn’t recall television

Ron Eustice was invited bythe United Nation’s Interna-tional Atomic Energy Agencyto speak at an InternationalFood Safety Conference hostedin Montevideo, the capital cityof Uruguay. The mission of thisconference was to inform andeducate the Uruguayan food industryabout the benefits of irradiation formedical products and food, whichEustice has been spearheading in Min-nesota for several years.

Uruguay this past year inaugurateda pilot irradiation project. Both Braziland Argentina have established irradi-ation industries dealing with all types

of food and medical products.“Argentina is extremelyadvanced in regards to theimportance and benefits of irra-diation. Brazil has one of thelargest volumes of irradiatedfood in the world,” Eustice said.

He related that events inEurope with close to 4,000cases of foodborne illness lead-

ing to 50 deaths, plus about 1,000 casesof hemolytic uremic syndrome whichshuts down kidney function, has pre-cipitated intense worldwide interest inirradiation. “Foodborne illness can beeasily prevented with irradiation.”

Food processors, meat industry rep-resentatives, fruit and vegetable grow-ers associations and meat processors,

plus university and privileged indus-try scientists and government agencypeople were in attendance. “It was amost encouraging conference. Foodindustry safety concerns are drivingthe issue. This was a follow-up to anintroductory conference on irradiationthat I spoke at in 2004.”

His take on the current status of foodirradiation in the Minnesota and U.S.food industry? “The use of food irradia-tion has expanded globally during thepast decade and is gaining renewedmomentum as a steadily increasingamount of irradiated food enters com-mercial channels in the United Statesand worldwide.”

“Today approximately 15 million to18 million pounds of irradiated groundbeef and poultry are marketed in theUnited States annually. Schwan’s andOmaha Steaks have chosen to irradi-ate 100 percent of their raw groundbeef. Ground beef sales at OmahaSteaks have doubled. Wegman’s, aRochester, N.Y.,-based retailer withover 80 stores in New York, Pennsylva-nia and Maryland, has offered freshirradiated ground beef as a value-

added product since 2000.Eustice said that while the volume of

irradiated meat and poultry sold is hold-ing steady, the amount of irradiated pro-duce is growing rapidly. Estimates arethat in 2010 about 15,000 metric tons(35 million pounds) of irradiated freshproduce was consumed in the UnitedStates. This volume includes papaya,longans, lychees and Okinawa sweetpotatoes from Hawaii, mangoes, guavasand boniato sweet potatoes from thesoutheastern United States, mangoesfrom India and Mexico, guavas fromMexico, dragon fruit from Vietnam andother items. Australia has become aleader in food irradiation and has seenexports of irradiated mangoes to NewZealand triple in the past three years.

It is estimated that one-third of com-mercial spices, approximately 175 mil-lion pounds, are irradiated and con-sumed in the United States. Thisvolume will grow because of recentfood safety concerns involving contam-inated spices. Rapid worldwide growthis also occurring in the irradiation ofpet treats and animal feed because ofsalmonella concerns.

EUSTICE, from pg. 15Aanywhere and no one had telephones.Plus when he was there the post officewas on strike. “Today everyone is onthe internet, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Ihear from them on a regular basis. Myhost families come from modest back-grounds but have become very success-ful in their agricultural businesses. Iwas very pleased with what I saw.”

Eustice feels the International 4-HYouth Exchange program was a won-derful experience for himself as well asa direct benefit for his host familiesand others. The mission of the IFYEprogram is to create cultural under-standing and goodwill.

“Not only did we generate newfriendships and understanding butthere was a transfer of technology thatcontinues to impact agriculture andthe Uruguayan economy. TodayUruguay’s economy is one of thestrongest in South America.”A few facts about Uruguay

• It is small, about the size of NorthDakota, with a population of 3.5 mil-lion people.

• The climate is similar to NorthCarolina.

• Only about 5 percent unemploy-ment.

• They export beef to 100 countries.

• They have 9 million cattle, com-pared with 100 million in the UnitedStates.

• Their dairy industry marketsthrough a cooperative (Conaprole)handling both domestic and overseasmarketing.

• Their beef industry is all natural.Grass-fed beef is the rule and antibi-otics are used as needed for healthpurposes. The use of implants is out-lawed by national law.

• Animal identification is mandatorywith two ear tags per animal, one anelectronic ID marker, the other a metalor plastic ear tag.

As an indicator of their concern forfood safety, Eustice mentioned thatbeef from Uruguay sent to Japan car-ries bar-code identification. “TheJapanese consumer who buys beeffrom Uruguay, can scan that bar codeand see a picture of the ranch and thefarmer that raised that beef. I visitedseveral ranches and was extremelyimpressed with what I saw. Quality istheir reputation and they’re doing atremendous job.”

‘A wonderful experience’

Goats are big in the life of 14-year-old Karly Davenport, a five-year 4-Hmember from the Fergus Falls, Minn.,area.

She showed nine goats at the OtterTail County Fair and her yearlinggoat, Hershey, was a purple ribbonshowmanship winner at the Min-nesota State Fair. She placed thirdout of 25 4-H’ers competing in thegoat showmanship category.

How did Davenport get into the goatbusiness? “Well that was because theyare so cute,” she said when inter-viewed at the State Fair.

She describedshowmanshipas the art ofdressing up hergoat, makingsure she isclipped andclean, plus howwell she pres-ents her goatand herself tothe judge in thering. Competingagainst 24 other4-H’ers also in the same show ring isindeed a “marketing” challenge.

“You have to keep your eye on the

judge at all times. And I also have tokeep positioning Hershey so the judgecan clearly see her regardless of all theother goats in the ring,” said thisyoung “veteran” of livestock competi-tions.

Judges also ask questions of the par-ticipants such as birth date of theiranimal, the breed registry, variousparts of the goat’s body conformation,etc. Sometimes a judge stumps the 4-H’er. “Yesterday I got asked a questionthat I couldn’t answer. It was about apart of the anatomy but I don’t think itcost me any points,” she said.

Hershey became Davenport’s State

Fair goat basically because Hersheywas the friendliest and easiest to workwith. Hershey’s background is a combi-nation of three different dairy breeds— Alpine, Oberhasli and Saanen. Do aGoogle search online and you will findthere are 70 different dairy breeds,over 50 meat breeds, plus several fiberbreeds and goatskin breeds. There iseven a category of pets and companiongoats which are miniatures, dwarfsand pygmy breeds. There are over 300distinct breeds of goats worldwide.

Growing goat business starts with the ‘cute’ factor

See GOATS, pg. 19A

Goats are one of the oldest domesticated species on Earth, with evidencedating back at least 10,000 years.

Though the U.S. goat population numbers only about 3.1 million animals,goats are big in other parts of the world. Asia leads with about 511.3 milliongoats raised annually, next is Africa with about 294.5 million annual goatproduction. China by itself raises about 150 million goats per year.

Goats have a 15- to 18-year life expectancy. The domestic goat (Capra aegar-gus hircus) is a subspecies of a goat domesticated from the wild goat of south-west Asia and eastern Europe. The goat is a member of the Bovidae familyand is closely related to sheep as both are in the goat-antelope subfamilyCarina. Goats are used for their milk, meat, hair and skins. Goats are alsogaining popularity as pets.

Karly Davenport and Hershey show their stuff in thering at the Minnesota State Fair.

Candy-themedgoat namesGOATS, from pg. 18Abirthing numbers but triplets, even quintuplets, dooccur.

Dairy goats produce six to eight pounds of milk perday. During a 10-month lactation, total milk produc-tion for a dairy goat ranges from 1,500 to 4,000pounds.

Why the name Hershey? “I’m using a candy themeto name my goats. Plus I like Hershey candy bars,”she smiled.

A ninth grader this fall, Davenport intends to be anactive 4-H’er even into college as time permits. She’sthinking of a medical career, either as a veterinarianor a nurse.

What’s the fun of showing goats at the State Fair?“Meeting new 4-H’ers and seeing who you are compet-

ing against plus the fun and challenge of competing inthe show ring,” Davenport said. She credits 4-H for mak-ing her more self-confident and willing to be a volunteerfor special community projects. Also, her 4-H goat proj-ects are teaching her a bit about running a business.Goats plus dairy cows, chickens and crops are the farm-ing operations of her parents, Mark and Paula Daven-port, often with a goat herd up to 75 animals.

“So we’re selling some goats year-around, afterthey’ve had some kids. So I’ll be selling Hershey aftershe has had a few lactations,” Davenport said, notingthat two goats at this year’s State Fair originated atthe Davenport farm.

Dodge County, Minn., soybean farmer and presidentof the Dodge County Corn and Soybean Growers,Bruce Schmoll, and his wife, Tarrie, hosted three porkbuyers and a director from major grocery stores inJapan on their farm in early August.

The group, which also included a Japanese transla-tor, traveled over 8,000 miles for a seven-day tourthroughout the Midwest to learn about U.S. pork andsoybean production, feed mills, meat processing andto exchange ideas with U.S. crop and livestock farm-ers. They visited the Schmoll family farm near Clare-mont before touring Interstate Mills in Hayfield,Minn.

The Minnesota Soybean Research & PromotionCouncil works with the U.S. Meat Export Federationto organize farm tours so that international tradeteams can learn about farming, planting, swine feed,soybeans and the biotechnology advancements in theUnited States.

“MN Soybean is probably one of the premier stateorganizations in setting up events like this. Theseteam members can meet with five to 10 farmers andleave with a good feel-ing that their soybeansand pork are comingfrom reliable and sus-tainable farmers,” saidGreg Olwig, U.S. Soy-bean Export Councilmarketing manager.

The trade team’s firststop of the day was theMinnesota Pork Produc-ers Council office inMankato, where theylearned more about U.S.swine care, genetics andproduction. They alsolearned that what makesU.S. pork such a high-quality protein is, inpart, the quality soy-beans that go into thehog feed. One of everyfour hogs is destined forthe export market. InJapan, U.S. pork is 30percent cheaper to pur-chase than Japanese pork, so the buyers recognizethat U.S. pork is equal in quality and great competi-tion. Moreover, after the USMEF introduced high-value cuts of pork in Japan at the 2009 FoodEx tradeshow, more than 1,500 Japanese retail outlets startedselling pork back ribs imported from the UnitedStates.

Livestock is ourNo. 1 customer assoybean farmers,and the more wecan promote thelivestock industryin the U.S. andwork together astwo industries tosell a value-added product tocustomers inJapan, it’s justbetter for oureconomy. It’s bet-ter foragriculture.

— Bruce Schmoll

JAPANESE, from pg. 20A“Livestock is our No. 1 customer as soybean farm-

ers, and the more we can promote the livestock indus-try in the U.S. and work together as two industries tosell a value-added product to customers in Japan, it’sjust better for our economy. It’s better for agricul-ture,” Schmoll said.

The Japanese team members had seen barns andsoybean fields before, but being on the Schmoll farmallowed them to walk through the fields, touch theplants, sit in the field equipment and look in thebarns to fully experience agriculture. “It’s a privilegefor us to host the Japanese pork buyers at our farm, itgives us an opportunity to learn more about theirbuying interests and culture, and it helps them learnmore about the quality feed ingredients that we growin our fields to produce healthy, nutritious protein fortheir customers back in Japan.”

But these trade team visits are more than just edu-cational, they allow buyers to connect with, and trust,Minnesota farmers.

“Team members are very interested in learningabout our families, our children and our lifestyle,”said Joel Schreurs, International Marketing Commit-tee chairman of the MSR&PC and Lincoln County,Minn., farmer. “The trust and appreciation that webuild through these meetings is priceless; it not onlyhelps our nation’s export market, it allows us to shareour culture and values with one another.”

Also included in the week-long trip to the Midwestwere stops at the Indiana Packers Corp., the Depart-ment of Animal Science at Iowa State University,Iowa Select Farms, JBS, Triumph Foods and Tyson.

The U.S. Meat Export Federation is a nonprofittrade association working to create new opportunitiesand develop existing international markets for U.S.beef, pork, lamb and veal. Through its worldwide net-work of offices, the USMEF has forged a series ofpartnerships, which have enabled U.S. companies andU.S. products to become integral parts of interna-tional red meat markets. An extensive internationalpresence enables USMEF to have a finger on thepulse of vital markets around the world.

The Dodge County Corn and Soybean GrowersAssociation is affiliated with the Minnesota SoybeanGrowers Association, a non-profit, farmer-controlledmembership organization working to assure prof-itable soybean farming by monitoring governmentpolicies, educating the public about agriculture andsupporting research and market development activi-ties. The organization works with the Minnesota Soy-bean Research & Promotion Council to share theR.E.A.L. Story (Responsible, Ethical Agriculture forLife).

This fall, farmers will be diligentlyharvesting their crops: corn, soy-beans, sugar beets and ... tourists.

Tourists? Yes. Families, motor coachtour groups, couples out for a week-end drive and grandparents withgrandchildren will be discovering avariety of new experiences on thefarm.

According to the 2009 Census ofAgriculture, 367 Minnesota farmswere involved in “agritourism andrecreational services.” Those farmsgenerated approximately $8 millionin income from their tourism efforts.

A 2009 survey of farmers conductedby the University of MinnesotaTourism Center found that 30 percentalready have some type of agritourismbusiness. Funded by the CarlsonTravel, Tourism and Hospitality Chair,the survey also found that another 30percent of farmers are planning for anagritourism operation as part of theirfarm business by 2014.

While producers view their agri-tourism operations as a way to supple-ment their farm incomes, they also seeit as a means of educating the publicabout the importance of agriculture

and as a way to build relationshipsbetween rural and urban communities.

Agritourism encompasses a varietyof activities such as farm stays, birdwatching, farm festivals, pumpkinpatches, school tours, corn mazes andwine trails. While many agritourismenterprises are associated withsmaller operations, learning tours oflarger farm operations and agricul-tural processing plants can also beincluded.

One area of agritourism that hasgained recognition in Minnesota dur-ing the last few years is wine-relatedtourism. The development of four dif-ferent cold hardy grape varieties bythe University of Minnesota has led toincreasing numbers of vineyards andwineries in the state, with 35 licensedwineries at last count.

Concentrated in the central andsouthern areas of the state, Minnesotawineries are becoming known for theirquality. In 2008, grape production,wine production and wine tourismaccounted for a total economic impactof $36 million. Besides tastings and

product sales, wineries offer a varietyof music, art, vineyard tours and spe-cial events which provide opportunitiesfor other sectors of the local tourismindustry to build upon, such as lodging,restaurants and attractions.

Minnesota agritourism operatorsprovide a variety of experiences thatwill inform and entertain visitorswhile providing income for their farms.

The University of MinnesotaTourism Center is a collaboration ofUniversity of Minnesota Extensionand the College of Food, Agriculturaland Natural Resource Sciences.

To many people, Oktoberfest symbolizes beer andnot much else. But those who want to enjoy Oktober-fest to the fullest should not only hoist a favoritebeer, but participate in the following traditions aswell.

• Dress the part. Perhaps the only thing associatedwith Oktoberfest as much as beer is the extraordi-nary outfits worn by Oktoberfest performers andstaff.

Men traditionally wear lederhosen, which consistsof a pair of shorts or three-quarter length pants, aswell as a drop-front flap with leather suspenderswith a front cross strap. This outfit is accessorizedwith a white shirt, long socks and boots. And menshouldn’t forget their Trachten hats, which is a Ger-man-style hiking hat typically adorned with a tuft ofgoat hair.

For the women, a dirndl is a full wide skirt with a

tight waistband. This outfitalso consists of a bodice, blouseand apron. When women tie

their bow on the left, that meansthey’re single, while the oppo-site side means they arealready taken.• Indulge in the cuisine.

Another great tradition of Okto-berfest is the great food. The beerconsumed at Oktoberfest tends to

be somewhat heavy and potent, sorevelers often consume largeamounts of food.

Hendl is a favorite dish and consists of wholechickens grilled on a spit and often sold in halves. Inaddition, another favorite dish is Weisswuerste,which includes steamed white veal sausages served

with sweet mustard, sauerkraut and some bread.Those who aren’t squeamish about what they eatmight want to try Haxn, which are also known aspork knuckles.

• Do the Chicken Dance. Want to make your Okto-berfest as authentic as the one in Germany? Thenyou might be surprised to learn that an Oktoberfestsimply isn’t an Oktoberfest without the ChickenDance. Dancers make chicken beaks with theirhand and open and close them to the music. Howauthentic your chicken dance becomes is up to you,but keep in mind you will have to put your beerdown to dance.

• Turn up the music. Oktoberfest is a raucousparty, and no raucous party is complete withoutmusic. Yodeling, polkas and brass bands are staplesof Oktoberfest, but once the beer gets flowing, revel-ers have been known to sing along to John Denver’s“Country Roads.” Before each song, bands typicallyoffer up “ein Prosit der Gemuetlichkeit,” a toast tocontentment and relaxation.

“As a kid I wanted to farm in theworst way and that’s what I’m nowdoing: farming in the worst way,”joked Clarence Caraway, who, as pres-ident of the Grazing Lands Conserva-tion Association’s Minnesota chapter,talks enthusiastically about grass-land management.

He’s already a few years into rota-tional grazing. “The more paddocksthe better,” he said. “We run 60 fall-calving cows on 60 acres divided intofour paddocks. Those 60 cows get oneto three weeks per paddock, depend-ing upon fall weather.

“We’re getting one-third more cowson half the acres. And now I’m lookingat ‘mob grazing.’ That’s like two tothree times the critters per acre. Theyliterally trample the forage into theground as they’re grazing but alsodoing your soils a tremendous favorwith all that manure also being

tramped into the topsoil.”Interviewed at the July 28 Grazing

Workshop and Pasture Tour at theScott and Deb Thooft farm in ruralLynd, Minn., Caraway pointed out theMinnesota Grazing Lands chapter hasbeen around about 15 years; this is histhird year heading up the organiza-tion.

“We’re a grassroots non-profit grouporganized to promote the health andsustainability of Minnesota’s 2.5 mil-lion acres of grazing lands,” he said.“We’re such a diverse state, so we’vedivided the state somewhat based on

the location of our NRCS (NaturalResources Conservation Service) graz-ing specialists.” Those specialists arewhich are Mark Hayek, Thief RiverFalls; Jeff Duchene, Perham; LanceSmith, Marshall; Tom Gervais, Duluth;John Zinn, Rochester; and DeanThomas, Preston.”

He said that Don Balloun, Minnesotastate conservation chief, is concernedthat there is becoming too much rowcrop farming at the expense of grazinglands.

A concern of Caraway is the increas-ing acres of Minnesota land getting

under the jurisdiction of the Min-nesota Department of NaturalResources. That varies widely fromarea to area, but he points out thatabout 10,000 acres of DNR land is nowunder contract to grazers — Min-nesota livestock farmers.

“DNR visualizes this land as returningto its natural prairie status,” he said, “butthere are no more buffalo runs. Buffaloherds used to stir up these soils makingthem beneficial to wildlife. But you checkout land that’s been DNR controlled forseveral years and you just don’t findmuch wildlife. It’s become a somewhatstagnant environment.

“But where we have grazing contractson this DNR land you see activity. Yousee a more-vibrant environment whenwildlife and cattle are sharing the sameground. Cattle are fertilizing the soils asthey graze; they’re putting more oxygenback into the soil.”

A new U.S. Department of Agricul-ture study looked at how quicklynative grasslands are being convertedto cropland use varied by grasslandtype and region. Compared with otherregions, producers in the NorthernPlains were more likely to convertgrassland to cropland, or retain landin crops rather than returning it tograss.

In the Northern Plains, about 1 per-cent or roughly 770,000 acres of 1997rangeland has been converted to cropproduction by 2007. Meanwhile onlyabout 100,000 acres were convertedfrom cropland to rangeland.

Also between 1997 and 2007, therewas a net shift in the United States ofapproximately 10 million acres from

cultivated cropland to hay or pasture.In the Northern Plains, the net shiftof cropland to hay and pasture wasvirtually zero.

The 2008 farm bill included a sod-saver provision which would deny forthe first five years, crop insurancecoverage on land that had been con-verted from native grasslands to cropproduction. The provision would beimplemented on a state-by-statebasis, but only at the request of thatstate’s governor. The sodsaver provi-sion is limited to the Prairie Potholestates of Iowa, Minnesota, Montana,North Dakota and South Dakota. Asof June 2011, none of the governorshad requested implementation of thesodsaver provision.

As the hot days of summer give way to cool falltemperatures, alfalfa growers are encouraged to con-sider winter injury risk when thinking about fallcutting.

“Growers really need to assess the risk versus thegain when it comes to fall cutting of alfalfa,” saidCharles Scovill, Syngenta field agronomist. “While itmay be tempting to take a final cutting late in thefall, you could be ultimately risking winter standinjury.”

To increase their potential for winter survival,alfalfa plants should get five to six weeks of growthto accumulate root carbohydrates and proteinsbefore going dormant for the winter. A killing freeze,or the temperature that will stop further top growthfor the season, normally occurs between Sept. 1 andOct. 15 in northern states, later in southern states.Therefore, it is important to manage fall harvests togive the plants the best chance for strong winter sur-vival.

When considering fall cutting, Scovill suggests thefollowing management tips.

• Select winter-tolerant varieties. Work with yourlocal Syngenta agronomist to determine what vari-eties have strong winter survival and persistenceratings and are best for your region and field.

• Know your field and your soil. Soil fertility man-agement is vitally important for maintaining pro-ductive alfalfa stands. Potassium (potash) is particu-larly important for developing plants that have goodwinter survival.

• Assess need for feed. Growers should weigh theneed for additional hay against the risk of winterdamage. If forage is needed, prolong cutting untilafter hard frost so stored energy is not lost withalfalfa regrowth.

“Growers should always try to allow at least five tosix weeks of uninterrupted growth in September andOctober,” Scovill said. “There needs to be a period ofcontinued cool temperatures for stands to developresistance to cold temperatures and to store energy

for the winter.”Keep in mind, even with the best management

practices, acts of nature can impact your alfalfa crop.Sudden changes from warm to cold will reduce hard-ening, excessively wet soil in the fall predisposes

alfalfa to winter injury, and mid-winter thaws maybreak dormancy and make plants more vulnerable.

Much like the improved skills oftoday’s corn and soybean farmers,grazers are also doing a better job,according to Lance Smith, a Nat-ural Resources Conservation Ser-vice grazing specialist at the Mar-shall, Minn., NRCS office.

Speaking at a July 28 GrazingWorkshop at the Thooft Farm nearLynd, Minn., Smith credited pasture walks such asthat event plus workshops and greater concern byland-owners themselves on how to generate moreproductivity per acre from their grasslands.

“Plus the cost-share program through NRCS andthe EQIP Program (Environmental Quality IncentiveProgram) are great incentives for farmers and ranch-ers to implement some new technologies,” said Smith,who works 25 southwest Minnesota counties. Anexample would be the internal cross fencing to set up arotational grazing program, plus water developmentprojects such as pipelines, tanks, even new wells.

He cites the benefits of cattle grazing to revitalizeDepartment of Natural Resources land, or any land

that just “sits idle”.“These lands weren’t developed historically by sit-

ting idle,” he said. “The thousands of buffalos onthese prairie soils, plus the frequent fire runs overthese lands, were a constant source of regenerativeactivity on these soils. But let this land sit idle and itbecomes root-bound, sod-bound, weed-infested, tiedup by tree encroachment ... all of which are not doingthe soils of that land any favor.”

Grazing capacities on side hills, draws, etc., run about2 acres per cow-calf pair in southwest Minnesota. Eventhough much of Minnesota grasslands were favoredwith cool and wet weather during the spring season,the July heat stalled out summer growth. But in total

he predicted 2011 would be a most favorable grazingyear for Minnesota grazers. “Fall moisture can make adifference, particularly in restocking soil moistures forthe next season,” he said.

Native grassland species still dominate in much ofsouthwest Minnesota, Smith said, and if incorporatedinto a rotational program, these native grasses pro-duce good forage yields. Bearded wheat grass, bigbluestem, little bluestem and Indian grass are a few ofthe common warm-season grasses. Into the wetlandareas, Reed’s canary grass flourishes. He said variousprivate contractors provide both the grassland speciesand the necessary equipment for seeding new stands.

Smith is one of six NRCS grazing specialists acrossMinnesota available to work with ranchers andfarmers on grassland habitat. First contact for alocal farmer would be at their local SCS/NRCS office,usually part of the county Farm Service Center.

Smith said he doesn’t see any particular trend tofall calving but he sees a definite trend away fromJanuary-February winter calving to April-May-Junecalving when the weather permits outdoor calvingon pasture. Wolves aren’t a problem for southwestMinnesota cow-calf operators, but Smith said thereare occasional reports of coyote issues.

GRAZING, from pg. 26AHe describes this as a natural

process of interaction of soils, wildlifeand cattle. Relating to when buffalodid, in fact, roam across Minnesotaprairies, Caraway said that after a big“buffalo run” that soil looked like it hadjust been challenged by a giant chiselplow. “But the next few years, that wasthe best grazing areas,” he said. “We’vedone some trials with both cattle andsheep on DNR land to get a measure ofthe benefits. Where we did nothingweeds were taking control, trees weresprouting up everywhere. But wherewe grazed, the grassland soils weremuch healthier. We didn’t have weeds.And wildlife was thriving. The pointbeing cattle and wildlife both thrive inthe same grassland environment.”

Caraway’s beef cow operation isnorthwest of Lake Benton, Minn.,pretty much right on top of the BuffaloRidge. Besides the 60 head of fall-calv-ing cows, they also run 35 to 40 head ofspring-calving cows. He’s had arthritisissues and six back surgeries a fewyears back, so he did a herd dispersalin 1999. But his wife wanted them tostay in the cattle business so they keptback some of the fall-calved calves andstarted rebuilding.

“With the fall calving on pasture I canjust drive out there in my pickup, tag thenew calves and get back into my pickup.With January-February calving you’vegot to have them inside and it’s just more

labor intensive,” Caraway said.With the DNR realizing the dual ben-

efits of contract grazing, cattlemenhave the options of “timed grazing”contracts or per head/season grazing.That is somewhat based on the grassforages and acres available in anygiven area. “Rotational grazing is thekey to these DNR contracts as well asyour own pasture lands. Our four-pad-dock system gives us about six weeks‘recovery time’ for each paddock so cat-tle are always grazing fresher forages.”

Rental of this DNR land varieswidely, simply because of the variety ofthe land and the forages available.Grazers ask if the DNR shouldn’t, infact, pay farmers to graze their landbecause it saves money for the DNR bynot having to periodically burn theselands and they don’t have to do weedcontrol. “This argument works betterin northwest Minnesota where much ofthe DNR land really wouldn’t befarmable anyway,” Caraway said.

Membership in the Minnesota GLCA is$20 per year and includes area grazingworkshops where both NRCS specialistsplus grassland mentors share informa-tion and experiences. Mentors are them-selves grassland managers, often withbeef and/or dairy cattle, who have agreedto provide guidance and assistance totheir own colleagues. Membership checksare payable to Minnesota GLCA andmailed to Nathan Redalen, 7618 CR 19SE, Rochester, MN 55901.

The old adage of “seeing is believing” certainlyrings true for any livestock operator attending aMinnesota Grazing Lands Conservation Associationworkshop. A good example was the July 28 eventhosted by Scott and Deb Thooft at their Lynd, Minn.,cattle and crop farming operation.

Check out the morning agenda in the Thooft farmshop.

• “Have bugs been a problem in your alfalfa?” byJohn Wiese, Hefty Seed Co.

• “The values of good weed control” by BrianRogers, Dow AgroSciences

• “Utilizing your forages for profit,” by GeraldStokka, North Dakota veterinarian, Pfizer AnimalHealth

• “Establishing pastures for your unique situation”by Justin Fruechte,Millborn Seeds.

After a tasty noonlunch featuring bar-becued beef sand-wiches, participantsin this workshop thenboarded a flatbedtrailer for “pasturediscussions” led byLance Smith, an areaNatural ResourcesConservation Servicegrazing specialist.

“Our family enjoyshosting these work-shops. It’s good for your young family and invariablywe learn a few new things about grazing innova-tions,” said Deb Thooft, mother of Tanner, 15, Tayor,13, Tara, 10 and Tucker, 8.

She thinks agriculture gets more exciting year byyear but she’s concerned about the growing “discon-nect” between consumers and the farmers who pro-duce their food. “Most people just don’t know muchabout how farmers grow crops and raise livestock. Ithink we as farmers need to find ways to better com-municate the story of American food production. It’san amazing story,” she said.

Indicative of the draws, creeks and hillside runs oftheir area, the Thooft farm has eight different pas-tures ranging from 11.5 acres up to a 49.3-acre hill-top field with a small, wooded creek meanderingthrough its eastern landscape.

“We run a 125-head cow-calf operation with prima-rily bronco black/white-faced cows. I use Charolaisbulls. The reason for eight pastures is because myDad always did rotational grazing and about fiveyears ago my NRCS contact suggested a cost-sharingproject with a tire waterer in one of the back pas-tures. That then let me make three paddocks out ofone so I could better utilize the grass, ” Scott Thooftsaid.

That tire waterer is about a 2,000-gallon tub fash-ioned from an older industrial tire with concrete

THOOFT, from pg. 29Abase and water hydrant that is floatcontrolled. On an aerial photo of thefarm which outlined all pastures plusrow-crop fields, Scott pointed out aparticular pasture — called the gravelpit pasture — as the paddock wherethe calving process starts each spring.

He said, “Because it’s high groundwith little grass, that 12-acre paddockfor 110 cows works good to start thecalving process. We check that gravelpit pasture three to four times dailyduring calving. Just as soon as wefind a new-born, we tag that calf androtate that cow and calf into the nextpasture.

“After we get 15 to 20 head in thatpasture, then we rotate those cowsdown to another pasture and bringmore newborns into the previous pas-ture. We do this several times duringthe calving season so these 15 to 20cow-calf groups just automatically getgrouped by age. Just do this randomly

without regard for age of the calves andyou get an older calf breaking withscours or some health issue and it justsnowballs right on down the line. So bykeeping them grouped within three tofour days of age we get a health benefitfor the young calves also.”

Bulls are turned out on about theFourth of July so first calving is aboutApril 10. Until then cows are dry-lot-ted in the yard and run cornstalks.Once cows get moved to the “gravelpasture” for the start of calving, theyget fed hay sweetened with a liquidproduct.

Is there extra work in all this rota-

tional grazing? “The cows learn thesystem pretty fast,” Scott chuckled. “IfI show up on my 4-wheeler, they knowI’m just checking. But if I show up inthe pickup, then they meet me at thegate. They seem to know I’ll be grab-bing the creep feeder and they appar-ently also know, ‘that means we nowget new grass!’”

He said that occasionally the cowshead to the wrong gate, but as soon ashe drives his pickup with creep feederinto the next pasture, they follow rightbehind. High-tensile electric fencingworks great for his rotational pasture.He also admits to being a bit old fash-ioned; he uses either three- or four-wire barbed wire fencing. The samefencing works for his gates.

After all cows are calved, they getmoved from these various smaller pad-docks up to the barn for vaccinations.Then rotational grazing on the biggerpastures, especially three pastures withplenty of trees and shading starts aboutthe Fourth of July. “So we have ourshaded pastures for the breeding seasonto help on conception rates. Into Augustwe’re rotating back again into thesmaller calving paddocks. Sometimesthis is only three to four days grazingbefore they get rotated again,” Scott said.

Pasture mix on most of the Thooftfarm is native grasses. Pastures claimabout 250 acres, with corn and soy-beans doing about 500 acres. Scott is a

third-generation member of the Thooftclan and was born on the farm thathosted the workshop.

On the disconnect between farmersand consumers, Scott doesn’t ventureany particular solution but did say, “Wejust try to do the best that we can do.There are a lot of misconceptions outthere. Last month at a wedding recep-tion my wife and I were attending inthe Cities, I met a lady who told me shehad turned vegetarian at age 11.

“I told her how we raise our cattle onpasture and she was in awe reflecting onsome of the stuff she sees on TV whereanimals aren’t being treated properly.Seems like my wife and I visited withthis gal for a couple hours. She seemedgoofy to me early in our conversation butshe was a totally different person whenwe left. She sort of whispered, ‘I did trysome beef last year. It’s really good.’”

Cattle and corn aren’t the only focusof the Thooft Farm. They also do anisowean (10- to 12-pound piglets) to fin-ish hog operation. Every eight weeksanother 1,050 isoweans are delivered,which equates to 6,500 to 7,000 pigsper year. Facilities for the hog opera-tion include a nursery barn and twofinishing barns. Those two finishingbarns provide enough fertilizer to takecare of virtually all the crop acres. Thenursery manure, which isn’t as “nutri-ent-rich” as manure from the two fin-ishing barns, gets used as top dressingon the pastures and the alfalfa ground.

Scott, 40, admits to not being anysort of computer guru, and says a bigchallenge for him is to stay on top offuture computer-assisted farmingstrategies. Fortunately, he said, 15-year-old Tanner is already teaching hisdad how to handle the global position-ing-assisted machines.

There are 1,785 townships in Minnesota, accordingto the Minnesota Association of Townships. Those

townships have nearly 9,000 elected supervisors,clerks and township treasurers.

For the most part, they meet monthly to make deci-sions regarding the more than 62,000 miles of town-ship roads and 6,000 township bridges in Minnesota.They maintain relationships with neighboring town-ships, with county officials, and even the local policeand fire departments. Seventeen and a half percentof Minnesota’s residents live in incorporated town-ships. That’s 930,972 people.

If the Leslie Township Board, in southwestern ToddCounty, is any example for the rest of the state, thosepeople are served with a quality of public service thatis lacking at other levels of government in this coun-try. A Leslie Township board meeting is conductedprofessionally and courteously and the members ofthe board are enthusiastic about public service.

A typical Leslie Township meeting is called toorder by the chairman at 8 p.m. The first order ofbusiness is the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag by thethree supervisors, clerk, treasurer and any guests.Then the chairman asks that the clerk read the min-utes. The three supervisors vote to approve themwith corrections, if necessary. Then the treasurerpasses the financial report to the chairman whothanks the treasurer and reads the report.

Township finances are important, but small. LeslieTownship’s most recent tax levy was $172,000. That$172,000 is divided into accounts for roads andbridges, snow removal, fire protection, 911 emer-gency telephone and a general fund. Roads andbridges take up $100,000 of the budget, according toChairman Doug Kaiser.

Kaiser takes pride in the high-quality townshiproads. Dennis Miller, another supervisor, takes pridein the fact that township government is truly demo-cratic.

“At the annual meeting in March the citizens canmake motions and vote on them,” he said. “It isgrassroots democracy.”

Michael Berry, whose father served on the Leslietown board for more than 20 years, shares Miller andKaiser’s concern that taxpayer money be spent care-fully. Ray Gabler has been treasurer for more than 40years. He keeps careful accounts in long hand in abook that is open to all township residents. Clerk BillTomford quietly and efficiently takes the minutes.

Perhaps it is here, at the town halls across Min-nesota, that American government is at its best. It iscourteous, non-partisan, service-oriented, and con-servative with a small c.

Local Corn and Soybean Price Index

Grain prices are effective cash close on Sept. 12. The price index chart compares an average of most recently reported local cash prices with the same average for a year ago.*Cash grain price change represents a two-week period.

Grain Angles Smell of autumn

in the airAs the corn loses its luster and the soybean leaves

turn yellow, the smell of autumn is in the air. Com-bines, stalk choppers and grain carts become read-ied for action as the crop comes into maturity. Thisis one of my favorite times of theyear. Growing up in Kansas, thiswas when we finally enjoyed abreak from the summer heat.Here in Minnesota, we start tothink that winter is just aroundthe corner. Yet, we aim to com-plete harvest before the snowstarts to fall.

The U.S. Department of Agri-culture, Pro Farmer, Informa andother crop analysts release theirestimates of 2011 yields, har-vested acres and final crop size.Some are starting to talk about2012 planted acres and demand for the grain. Itbecomes a “guessing game” until we finally completethe harvest. My Grandpa used to remind me that,“It’s not a crop until it’s in the bin.” With this beingsaid, we still expect favorable financial returns forgrain producers.

The USDA’s Economic Research Service forecastsrecord net farm income this year, surpassing $100billion for the first time. They estimate farmexpenses to also set a new record. The sheer amountof money crossing farm desks is staggering. Netfarm income is forecast at $103.6 billion for 2011, up$24.5 billion for a rise of 31 percent from 2010. Thisfollows a 28-percent increase last year. The 2011forecast of net farm income is the highest inflation-adjusted value recorded since 1974.

Grain Outlook The bulls went

hungryThe following market analysis is for the week end-

ing Sept. 9.CORN — It was a rough week for corn in the holi-

day-shortened trading week as the bulls went hun-gry. The market had already fac-tored in at least a 150 bushelsper acre corn yield, the U.S. dol-lar strengthened on poor worldeconomics and fresh news waslimited throughout the week aswe awaited the Sept. 12 U.S.Department of Agriculturemonthly crop report.

Early yield reports have beenall across the board, making itdifficult to even come up with anearly average. Many of the com-ments on yields from April-Mayplanted corn have been “betterthan expected,” however, the later planted corn isexpected to be worse since it pollinated during thehigh-heat, low-water time period in July.

Informa Economics got the week started with anupdated corn yield estimate of 151 bu./acre and pro-duction of 12.711 billion bushels. This compares withthe August USDA figures of 153 bu./acre and 12.914billion bushels. The average trade estimates for Sept.12 are 149.086 bu./acre, production of 12.519 billionbushels and ending stocks for 2011-12 of 636 millionbushels (August USDA 714 million). Ending stocksfor 2010-11 are pegged at 956 million bushels(August USDA 940 million). For comparison, thebiggest August-to-September yield reduction in thelast 15 years has been 2.7 bu./acre.

Livestock Angles Cattle, hogs on

reboundAfter a period of selling off to lower price levels,

both the cattle and hog markets have reboundedquickly in the first part of September. It wouldappear for all intents and purposes that these mar-kets have found their seasonallows.

The cattle market has seen con-siderable short covering in thefutures market since the first ofthe month, which has increasedthe premium to cash by an abnor-mal basis. The fact that the com-modity funds had acquired ashort position in the futures andwith the market becoming over-sold technically, this left thefutures vulnerable to profit tak-ing by the short and forced thefunds to liquidate their shortpositions and begin to reverse their position to thelong side.

This turnaround has been done in the face of weak-ening beef cutouts and virtually no cash trade to sup-port this rally. The volume in the beef trade hadslowed as the cutouts exceeded the $180 per hun-dredweight level and forced the packers to discountto move the product.

The volume is once again beginning to increase asthe cutout price has fallen, however for the packersto maintain a positive margin they will have to stayat steady prices and not follow the recent rally infutures. Therefore we could see a standoff betweenthe packers and the feedlots until one side gives in.

NYSTROM, from pg. 1BWeekly export sales were in line with

expectations at 32.3 million bushels.There were 2.796 million metrictons of old crop unshipped salesrolled into the new marketingyear. Weekly ethanol produc-tion was slightly higherthan last week at 896,000barrels per day.

China’s grain buyinggroup this week said theydon’t plan on buying U.S.corn due to the high costand that their corn importsfor the coming year will beunder many outside projec-tions. India announced thisweek that they may export up to2 mmt of wheat this year. Weak-ness in wheat may also pressure corn.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminis-tration this week predicted better chances forabove-average temperatures for the Midwest andabove-average rainfall across the Pacific Northwestfor the September-to-November period due to thereturn of La Nina.

OUTLOOK: Whatever is printed before the 7:30a.m. Sept. 12 USDA report will be moot by 7:31 a.m.Everything will be reevaluated for believabilitypost-release. Suffice it to say the trading range is $7to $8 for December corn. Watch outside influences,particularly the U.S. dollar. There are rumors thatGreece may default in the next few days whichwould support the dollar and depress demand forcommodities. Weather forecasts are toying withfrost next week in the northern Midwest. There’s noconfidence yet that it will do any real damage, but it

warrants monitoring. For the week, December cornwas down 23 1/2 cents at $7.36 1/2 per bushel.

around the Midwest are still per-ceived to be beneficial to produc-tion, and that’s what we had as webegan a new month. Novembersoybeans this week were down 19cents to settle at $14.26 3/4 perbushel.

South American soybean sales toChina are on-going. China com-

mented this week that longer termthey expect their bean demand will

be higher in 2012 than in 2011.Informa Economics revised crop esti-

mates included a soybean yield of 41.5bu./acre and production at 3.061 billion

bushels. The average trade projections for the Sep-tember USDA report are 41.039 bu./acre, production3.032 billion bushels, 2011-12 carryout of 151 millionbushels (August USDA 168 million), and 2010-11carryout of 226 million bushels (August USDA 218million).

Weekly export sales were neutral at 16.3 millionbushels. However, there was an announcement onFriday that China canceled 240,000 mt of U.S. beansfor 2011-12. There were 2.282 mmt of U.S. beans thatwere sold, but unshipped, at the end of the 2010-11marketing year that were rolled over into the newyear.

OUTLOOK: Soybeans are in the same boat as cornwhen it comes to pegging a direction ahead of theSeptember report. A bearish report could push pricesto the lower end of the range at $13.50 to $14 perbushel. A bullish report raises expectations to $14.50to $15 per bushel. Yield reports will have the abilityto sway price direction on a daily basis once we reachharvest.

Nystrom’s notes: The next USDA crop productionreport is Sept. 12. Contract changes for the week end-ing Sept. 9: Minneapolis wheat fell 35 1/2 cents,Kansas City dropped 47 1/2 cents and Chicagodeclined 45 3/4 cents per bushel. October crude oilgained 79 cents for the week, heating oil edged 1.16cents lower, gasoline fell 6.86 cents and natural gasgained 4.3 cents. As of mid-afternoon Sept. 9, the Dowwas down 287 points for the week, gold was $16.70lower and the U.S. dollar index jumped up 2.32points.

TEALE, from pg. 1Bhave resisted the higher beef cutouts and with thesame economic situation, it is hard to foresee achange in this situation. Because of the generouspremiums now offered, it would be prudent for pro-ducers to protect their inventories when opportuni-ties present themselves.

The hog market seems to have finally found thatseasonal low that seems to come every fall. It may beearlier than normal this year, but after the size ofthe decline in prices over the past month, most pro-ducers would welcome the early low. A similar situa-tion occurred with the pork cutouts as with the beefcutouts. Once they reached levels well above$100/cwt., the retailers backed away from buying

pork product and down came the volume and thusthe price followed.

Like the cattle the commodity funds moved to theshort side of the futures and once the market beganto show signs of turning higher, the funds began toexit the short side and a quick short-covering rallyensued. It appears the pork cutouts have now begunto stabilize in the $90/cwt. area, and with that thecash side has also begun to find some stability.

Because of the economy, it would appear that it willremain hard to maintain any sustained rallies untilthere is improvement in consumer income. Produc-ers are therefore encouraged to use caution in theiroptimism and protect their inventories when giventhe opportunity.

Hogs finally finding seasonal low

NEHER, from pg. 1BThe ERS estimates double-digit increases in crop

and livestock cash receipts. Crop receipts areexpected to raise $33.6 billion, or more than 19 per-cent, as large increases are expected across a num-ber of crop categories. Total expenses are forecast toincrease by $32.5 billion, exceeding $300 billion forthe first time. That is an increase of 11.4 percentfrom 2010. Every expense category is expected to beup in 2011. Expenses are expected to continue toinflate at a similar rate in 2012.

With higher prices and expenses, the amount ofmoney that we manage today has vastly increasedover the last five years. With this increased invest-ment comes increased risk that must be managed.This can be managed or mismanaged, with outcomes

to follow. The progressive manager will always belooking for ways to grow. They will become studentsof their business, looking to grow personally and inbusiness practices. They will strive to grow in knowl-edge and expertise. This will be in production andfinancial management.

As we remember the lives lost 10 years ago and thesubsequent changes in our country, we mourn theloss as a nation. We have been at war for a decade,which has challenged our economy and our percep-tion of security. The events of Sept. 11, 2001, havechanged this country forever. Yet, we are a countrythat was built by immigrants who brought diversityand strength to the fabric of this nation. This fabricgets stretched and strained, but it is strong andresilient. For all of this we give thanks.

Farm income, expenses rocket

This column was writtenfor the marketing week end-ing Sept. 9.

The latest employmentdata, showing no job cre-ation in August and declin-ing consumer confidence,doesn’t bode well for thedairy industry, according tothe University of Wiscon-sin’s Brian Gould.

Speaking in Tuesday’sDairyLine, Gould said con-sumers are not willing topurchase food away fromhome (restaurants). Hecited the August consumer confidenceindex which declined from 59.2 to 44.5.That’s about a 20-percent drop, he said.

When asked about cheese prices,Gould pointed to existing stocks rela-tive to production and said “they’repretty high.” Case in point is the ratioof American cheese stocks to Americancheese production in July, which wasthe highest since 1987.

“So we have a lot of stocks out thererelative to production,” he said, warn-ing that he’s not optimistic there’ll be arebound in prices in the near future.

Futures prices on cheese are prettystable, Gould said, right around $1.70,plus or minus five cents. “So right nowthe indicators are not looking for sub-stantial changes on the upside or evenon the downside.”

■

By the way, the July Consumer PriceIndex for all food was 228.3, up 4.2 per-cent from July 2010, according to theU.S. Department of Agriculture.

The dairy products index was 214.8, up7.9 percent. Fresh whole milk was up 10.2percent, cheese was up 8.1 percent andbutter was up 21 percent from a year ago.

■

Prices were mixed in Tuesday’sGlobal Dairy Trade (Fonterra) auction,according to the Chicago MercantileExchange’s Daily Dairy Report. Theweighted average price for skim milkpowder was $1.56 per pound, up 0.3percent from the Aug. 16 trading. Thewhole milk powder price, at $1.50/lb.,was down 1.6 percent.

The anhydrous milkfat price was$1.97, up 2 percent, and the Cheddarcheese for industrial use price receivedan average winning bid of $1.84/lb.,down 4.7 percent from the prior auc-tion. The trade-weighted average for allproducts was down 1.4 percent fromthe prior event, and down 25.8 percent

from the peak levels estab-lished in early March,according to the DDR.

Traders and handlershave mixed opinions onwhat direction price

will trend, according tothe USDA. Some feel that weaknesswill continue, while others indicate therecent weakening trend will cease andprices will possibly firm.

As a matter of interest, eDairy econo-mist Bill Brooks said that Europeanbutter prices are near $2.59/lb. whileOceania prices are just below $1.95.

U.S. butter has plunged to the lowestlevel since May, closing the second Fri-day of September at $1.9125/lb., down9.25 cents on the Labor Day holiday-shortened week, down 18 cents in twoweeks and 31 cents below a year ago.No butter was sold on the week.

The lagging National AgriculturalStatistics Service-surveyed butter priceaveraged $2.0596 across the UnitedStates, up 0.9 cent from the previousweek.

Grade A nonfat dry milk closed Fri-day at $1.49, down 2 cents, while ExtraGrade held all week at $1.61. NASSpowder averaged $1.5424, down 2.4cents.

Block cheese closed Friday at$1.7850, down a half-cent on the week,but a nickel above a year ago. Barrelclosed at $1.72, down 4 cents on theweek and a penny and a half above ayear ago. Six carloads of block and 13of barrel traded hands on the week.The NASS U.S. average block price fell10.9 cents, to $1.9843, while the barrelsaveraged $1.8964, down 18.1 cents.

■

Checking the milk supply side, thefull impact and damage caused by Hur-ricane Irene and Tropical Storm Leeare still being assessed.

EmpireStateNews.net reports thatfarmers who were forced to dump milkmay be eligible for USDA payments tocompensate them. Meanwhile, theUSDA reports that milk production inthe Southeast and Florida were mostlysteady at reduced levels. Milk intakesin the Midwest were fairly steady.

California and New Mexico milk pro-duction is steady to lower with Arizonatrending lower. Production in thePacific Northwest is at expected vol-umes, while Utah and Idaho milk sup-plies are above year-ago levels.

Class I orders are fair to good to fillneeds for schools resuming classes.Cream markets are unsettled to weak.Demand ahead of the Labor Day holi-day weekend slowed and buying inter-est was light. Cream volume moving tochurns was expected to increase over

the holiday period.Weather throughout most

of Europe has been quitemild for much of the cur-rent milk production sea-son. Outside of dry condi-tions earlier this summer,producers and handlers

indicate that the season hasbeen quite favorable for milk output.

Stocks of European manufactureddairy products are generally availablefor both domestic and internationalbuyer interest. Sales activity hasremained quite good from both.Traders and handlers were surprisedat the level of sales activity in recentweeks and traders are indicating thatskim milk powder is moving bothdomestically and internationally, but

MIELKE, from pg. 3Bwhole milk powder sales are more limited, probablydue to price. Traders feel that now that the summervacation season is coming to a close and Ramadanis over, more buyers will be returning to the mar-ketplace for upcoming fall and winter needs.

Early spring weather patterns are being reportedin the Oceania region. The snow storm in NewZealand a few weeks ago is history andweather patterns are showing moresigns of spring versus late winter.

Most producers and handlers indicate the snow-fall did little to negatively impact the dairy indus-try. Milk production trends remain in line withrecent projections, with New Zealand 2 to 4 percenthigher and Australia in the 1 to 2 percent increaserange.

A favorable end to the most recent production sea-son in Oceania is causing producers in both coun-tries to consider expansions, according to the USDA.

Australian milk producers are indicating thatmilk production growth during the upcoming yearwill be restrained by herd growth but anticipatethat production will potentially be more noticeablein the 2012-13 year. Having experienced a numberof years of negative or minimal growth, it will takea number of years to turn this trend around, espe-cially for Australian producers.

Back on the home front, California’s October ClassI milk price is $21.50 per hundredweight for thenorth and $21.77 for the south, down $2.06 and$2.07 respectively from September, but are both$3.06 above October 2010.

The northern price average for 2011 is $20.72, upfrom $16.66 at this time a year ago. The southernprice average is $20.99, up from $16.93 a year ago.

The federal order Class I baseprice is announced by the USDA on Sept. 23.

In other milk price news and looking “back to thefutures” combined with the announced Class IIIprices for July and August, the federal order ClassIII contract’s average for the last half of 2011 was$19.75 on Aug. 5; $19.42 on Aug. 12; $19.18 on Aug.19; $19.36 on Aug. 26; $19.63 on Sept. 2; and wasrunning $19.35 at the close of spot trading on Sept.9.

In dairy politics, the International Dairy FoodsAssociation’s Peggy Armstrong addressed fallingfluid milk sales in Wednesday’s DairyLine, blastingefforts that would result in higher milk prices to con-sumers.

She reiterated how milk provides nine essentialnutrients Americans need, including calcium, vita-min D and potassium and that, according to the 2010Dietary Guidelines, “these nutrients are especiallyimportant for growing children.”

She warned that milk is “losing ground” in “a com-petitive beverage environment,” reporting USDAdata that per capita milk consumption has continueda slow and steady decline at a rate of about 1 percenta year for the past 35 years. A recent statistic sug-

gests the decline might be escalating, however.U.S. fluid milk product sales declined 1.4 percent in

2010, the largest annual decline in more than adecade, she said. “This trend has continued into2011, with U.S. fluid milk product sales down 1.6percent through June.”

She said “it’s important to note that according tothe Bureau of Labor Statistics, the retail price ofmilk has been higher during most of this period thanthe same month a year earlier, so it appears that in atight economy and a competitive marketplace, con-sumers are increasingly looking to beverages otherthan milk.”

“That is why the last thing the U.S. dairy industryneeds is a change to the Federal Milk Market Ordersystem that would result in higher Class I prices,”she said, pointing to the plan proposed by Rep. CollinPeterson of Minnesota which is based on theNational Milk Producers Federation’s “Foundationfor the Future.”

“NMPF’s own analysis estimates that the mini-mum fluid milk price would have averaged 51 centshigher in recent years under the proposed federalorder changes in the draft legislation,” Armstrongsaid. “Everyone in the U.S. dairy industry should payclose attention to dairy policy reforms that couldhurt demand. That especially applies to proposedlegislation that will increase the cost of fluid milkproducts. We cannot afford to lose any more groundand Americans cannot afford to lose the health bene-fits of drinking milk.”

Congress has plenty on its plate to deal with, pri-marily the economy and budget issues, according tothe NMPF’s Chris Galen in his Thursday DairyLinetalk. He said the nation awaited President Obama’splan to help the economy and deal with high unem-ployment. Coincidentally Thursday was also the firstmeeting of the so-called Congressional “super com-mittee” whose mandate is to identify an additional$1.5 trillion in budget savings over the next decade.

... the last thing the U.S. dairyindustry needs is a change to theFederal Milk Market Order systemthat would result in higher Class Iprices.

— Peggy ArmstrongMARKETING

MIELKE, from pg. 4B“A lot of what’s going to drive the process here this

fall in Washington is to reconcile those two issues,”Galen said. “How to stimulate the economy formallyor informally and help put peopleback to work and, at the sametime, identify ways to cut govern-ment spending.”

The committee is supposed tocomplete its work around Thanks-giving, he said, and present recom-mendations for Congress to voteon. Many expect farm programs to betargeted for cuts, he said, so thegroundwork may be in the works forthe next farm bill.

The House Agriculture Livestock, Poultry andDairy Subcommittee also held a dairy policy hearingThursday. Witnesses included USDA officials fromthe Farm Service Agency and Agriculture MarketingService.

After attending the hearing, NMPF President andCEO Jerry Kozak said in a press release that thegeneral tone of the questions at the hearing from thecommittee members indicated “a concern that currentdairy programs are not up to the task of providing ameaningful farm-level safety net.” He added that the“NMPF shares that concern, and that’s what hasdriven the creation of Foundation for the Future. Webelieve we have the best answer to the bottom linequestion of what should come next for dairy policy.”

Friday’s DairyLine asked the question, “Is supplymanagement a solution for the future or a problemfrom the past?”

Wisconsin dairy producer John Pagel, who hasestablished a “Risk Management Not Supply Man-agement” website, said he doesn’t believe supply

management is the answer for theMidwest or for the U.S. dairy indus-try. He argued that there are somany foreign countries that need dairy products and

the Midwest is “sitting in the driver’s seatin being able to supply those products.”

Pagel agrees that the dairy industryneeds a safety net but not supply man-agement. The free market allows farm-ers to produce as much as they like, hesaid, “the better job that you can do onyour farm and the more efficient youcan be, creates profit on the bottomline and it’s up to the rest of the indus-try to help us export products and do

the best job that we can to make sure our dairyindustry stays strong.”

He admits there’ll be ups and downs like any otherbusiness but doesn’t believe it’s in farmers’ best interestto “slow down production and reduce possible opportu-nities for feeding the rest of the world,” as he put it.

He praised the NMPF’s efforts to put together aprogram that would help the dairy industry, but sup-ply management is one part he and others do notagree with. He admitted there are regional differ-ences that present challenges in putting a plantogether but, with the Midwest having a largeamount of processing capacity, “we don’t want some-

one telling us how much milk we canproduce” and therefore favors riskmanagement as opposed to supply

management.More details and a petition are available to sign at

A new study, underwritten by thePork Checkoff and conducted byIowa State University, estimates thatporcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome con-tinues to be a major drag on the U.S. pork industry— costing the pork industry $641 million per year.

This translates into $1.8 million per day or$114.71 per sow annually. The previous economicstudy in 2005 calculated PRRS losses at $560 mil-lion annually.

National Pork Board President Everett Forkner, aproducer from Richards, Mo., said, “this checkoff-funded work offers producers, veterinarians andevery part of the pork chain a new and valuableinsight into the economic impact of PRRS and

underscores why we’ve leverageddomestic and international govern-

ment funds to offer producers tools forregional control of this virus.”

The 2011 study differed most significantly fromthe 2005 study in the allocation of losses betweenthe breeding and the growing pig herds. Specifically,losses in the growing pig herd accounted for 88 per-cent of the total cost of PRRS in the 2005 study com-pared with 55 percent in the current analysis.

Iowa State University veterinarian DeraldHoltkamp and agricultural economist Jim Klieben-stein collaborated on the study with others in acade-mia, swine veterinarians in private practice and theU.S. Department of Agriculture. They found that dif-ferences between the 2005 and the 2011 studies maybe attributed to several key factors, includingchanges in the prevalence of the PRRS virus andincidence of outbreaks, production and animalhealth management practices, inflation (accounts for40 percent of the increase) and other pathogens thathave emerged since 2005, such as porcine circovirus.

The report summary stated, “since the 2005 study,pig production and health strategies have evolved,PRRS virus control/elimination strategies haveimproved and structural adjustments have occurredin the industry. Because of these developments, itwas reasonable to question whether the incidence,severity and/or impact of PRRS outbreaks on pighealth and productivity in the U.S. herd may havechanged since the 2005 study was conducted.”

The new study collected much of its data fromcooperating producers and veterinarians across theUnited States in late 2010. While not benchmarkedin 2005, additional PRRS-related costs that produc-ers must contend with, such as veterinary and biose-curity measures, were collected in this study.Researchers found these costs added $477.79 millionannually to total PRRS costs, putting the cumulativecost of the disease at more than $1 billion per yearwhen added to production-related losses.

Based upon a survey of swine veterinarians fromacross the United States, the study’s researcherswere able to estimate additional PRRS statistics.They found that 28 percent of sows and gilts used forbreeding in the United States were PRRS virus-freeand 60 percent of weaned pigs were PRRS-negativeat placement.

“This study also confirmed conventional wisdomthat says outbreaks in PRRS virus-free herds aremore severe than outbreaks in PRRS virus-infectedherds,” Holtkamp said. “When comparing elimina-tion methods, we found that the time required forherds to provide a return on investment was still rel-atively short with herd closure and rollover. How-ever, we found that complete depopulation/repopula-tion appears to make economic sense only if thereare other reasons to depopulate the herd or for high-value genetics herds.”

According to Lisa Becton, Checkoff ’s director ofswine health, the complete checkoff-funded researchstudy on PRRS will serve as a valuable resource forproducers, veterinarians and the entire industry foryears to come as more of its data is analyzed. Shesaid the full report is expected to be available incoming months and will be available on pork.org.

For information on checkoff-funded programs, porkproducers can call the Pork Checkoff Service Centerat (800) 456-7675 or go to pork.org.

Ordinarily a livestock farmer doesn’t argue muchwhen it comes to spreading manure. It’s a chorethat needs to be done regardless of the weather andregulations. But get into larger livestock operations— hog, beef, dairy, turkey — and manure-spreadingtime becomes an issue, especially with wet ground.

So does the idea of 20 tons in two minutes havesome appeal? That’s the capacity of two new unitsbeing used by Revier Cattle Co. near Olivia, Minn.“Time is a factor,” said Tom Revier when describingthe new Artex Vertical Spreaders mounted on a cou-ple of their heavy-duty truck chassis.

“We have a strict manure management programdictated by county and (Minnesota Pollution ControlAgency) rules that govern when we can spread, whatslopes and drainage limits, what tillage incorpora-tion after spreading, even provisions regulating loadlimits on certain township roads. So when it’s spreadtime a bigger, faster unit helps greatly,” he said.

Conveniently for them, Artex Spreaders areassembled just 18 miles down the road at RedwoodFalls. Chett Bisel, manager of Redwood MetalWorks, a division of Farms Union Industries, saidthey’re now producing a variety of Artex units, bothpull-type and truck-mounted.

“Many of our wagons are combination boxes capa-ble of handling a variety of products. You need thatflexibility to justify the costs of these units,” Biselsaid. “It’s hard to sell a manure spreader these daysto just spread manure when you can offer units thathandle silage, stock pile manure, and even offer an

attachment for hauling grain in these boxes.”Artex is a new name to Minnesota agriculture but

dates back about 30 years ago to Abbotsford, BritishColumbia. “The product has stood the test of timeand they have continued to improve with new engi-neering, new refinements and additional attach-ments,” Bisel said.

For example, he said, “we’ve come up with a truckthat we think is set for the future. It’s got a six-pointweigh scale Digit Star NT460 that will read everyload, the spreading rate per acre and per ton, alldownloadable onto your home computer. Thismachine has the Air Boss which permits deflatingyour 60 psi road pressure down to 14-16 psi in thefield which greatly reduces soil compaction leaving avirtual ‘zero imprint’ on the soil. As machinery gets

bigger, we’re seeing more evidence of field com-paction, especially in headlands. So tire pressureand tire size on these big manure units is reallyimportant.”

Revier is running a 22-foot box with high sidewallsthat carries 20-plus tons per fill. Field speeds whenspreading are in that 14 to 18 mph category andspreading about 10 tons per acre.The Reviers match upload size to field size so the truck is empty at the end ofeach run. The axles on that rig are rated at 25 tons peraxle giving a 50,000 pound per axle road rating.

Costs of these innovative Artex boxes vary widelydepending upon the model, and the innovationoptions. Bisel said they tested the vertical spreaderdesign on turkey and poultry litter first knowingthat if it handled those products, other livestockmanure would not be an issue.

Interviewed at the Min-nesota State Fair themorning after the crown-ing of the new PrincessKay of the Milky Way, PatLunemann, president ofthe Minnesota Milk Pro-ducers Association said,“every year we have somefantastic young ladies off the farm whohave poise, elegance and great charm.The average GPA of the 2011 candi-dates was 3.83. So these girls arealready achievers. At the coronationlast night each had a great message.We’re very proud of them.”

Minnesota’s new Princess Kay of theMilky Way is Mary Zahurones of Mor-rison County,replacing KatieMiron of Washing-ton County.

Started in 1954,each year thereare nearly 100princesses vyingfor this honor. For40 years Linda Chris-tensen has delicatelycarved butter sculp-tures of each of theprincess finalists.

In addition to the quality of PrincessKay candidates, dairy farmers alsohave more to be happy about. Reflect-ing on the relatively good prices formilk and cheese this summer, Lune-mann said July-August milk futures of$20+ were welcomed by all dairy pro-ducers even though futures prices arealready beginning to slip.

“We’re hoping this is just a tempo-rary downward blip. But prices are farbetter than what we experienced in2009 and 2010. And exports are the keyreason dairy markets are strong,” saidLunemann, dairy producer fromClarissa, Minn. According to the U.S.

Department of Agriculture, the 2011Class IV price is expected to range$19.05 to $19.35 this fall. The 2012average was put at $16.45 to $17.55. In2010, that price was $15.09; in 2009 itwas $10.89.

The value of the U.S. dollar plusexpanding demand by populations inoverseas countries that are demandinga better diet is the stimulus behind

this “new prosper-ity” in the dairyindustry. “About 13percent of ourdairy products arenow beingexported. Theworld is looking formore protein intheir diets. Fortu-nately dairy prod-ucts are a conven-ient and verynutritious source

of protein.”He acknowledges that dairy farm

numbers continue to decline in Min-nesota, but at a much slower pace.However he’s also noting new levels ofenthusiasm and positive attitudesabout being a Minnesota dairy farmer.Parlors replacing tie stalls, robotic sys-tems replacing hand labor, even thegrazing phenomena of organic produc-ers are key factors for this revivedenvironment, Lunemann said.

He also noted the steady growth of“commercial-sized” dairies of severalhundred to a few thousand cows are

New beauty and energy inMinnesota dairy industry

Pat Lunemann

See DAIRY, pg. 10B

... prices are far betterthan what we experi-enced in 2009 and 2010.And exports are the keyreason dairy markets arestrong.

— Pat Lunemann

DAIRY, from pg. 9Bdefinitely growing in the Minnesotadairy landscape. “We now even have in-state cheese processors like First Dis-trict Association that are expandingtheir capacities to keep up with grow-ing consumer demand both domesti-cally and in foreign markets.”

Lunemann sees these expansions bydairy processors also keying an expan-sion of cow numbers in Minnesota.Current milk cow numbers for Min-nesota are right at 475,000, the thirdconsecutive year of increase. Stearns,Winona, Morrison and Wabasha coun-ties rank highest in dairy cows. How-ever Minnesota ranks No. 6 behindCalifornia, Wisconsin, New York, Idahoand Pennsylva-nia in nationalmilk cow num-bers.

“Because ofwhat’s happeningto dairy proces-sors in our state,we do need somerenovation, evensome new producersto meet this increas-ing demand,” saidLunemann who currently milks about600 cows after starting out with 50 “atthe beginning of my career” just over30 years ago.

“We have some plans to get to 700,and maybe more. It somewhat dependsupon my children should they want tocome back and reinvigorate the dairyfarm.”

He practices both free-stall housingand a compost barn, with a secondcompost barn soon to happen basicallyfor the cow comfort provided. Milkingis with a double nine-parallel parlorinstalled in 1996. He admits to work-ing that double-nine parlor prettyhard. The current herd average pro-duction is at about 27,400 pounds.

Though not yet using sand beddinghe told of a recent University of Min-nesota tour that focused on new bed-ding strategies, especially deep bed-ding materials for dairy cows. “We’reusing organic bedding (saw dust)which we recycle out of the compostbarn and reuse in our free stalls. Wecultivate the stalls three times daily,each time after the cows go up to bemilked. We mix some dry saw dustmixed in with the recycled product so

we can manage the amount of moisturein the bedding. That’s critical in havinggood success with recycled compostbedding.”

The Lunemann operation is on athree-times-a-day milking scheduleand has 15 employees besides familyhelp. He uses both Hispanic familiesand local labor. “Right now we think wehave the best crew we’ve ever had.Everyone gets along well with one shifthandling the night time milking on aregular basis.”

On the political scene, Lunemannmentioned “a discussion piece” beingproposed by Congressman Collin Peter-son that simply would bring key spokes-people together for a revaluation and

overall updatingof the U.S. dairyindustry.

“Collin looksback at 2009 andsays ‘dairy farm-ers, you don’twant to go backthrough that eco-nomic chaosagain.’ The indus-try needs somechanges in legis-

lation,” Lunemann said, adding thatthe discussion so far is pretty muchbased on proposals of the NationalMilk Producers Federation.

“We (Minnesota Milk Producers Asso-ciation) have issues with certain seg-ments of this discussion piece. We’ve satdown with Collin. There are good thingsthat he has introduced; we’ve suggestedbetter ideas on a few issues such as thesupply management agenda. When welook at other geographic areas we see amature dairy industry that has grownabout as large as it can be in terms ofherd size ... We feel that Minnesota isright at a turning point. We feel thesmall- to medium-sized dairy farmswould be most affected by a supplymanagement program. Just as they arethinking of expanding because of a sonand/or daughter returning home, theywould be restricted.

“We believe there needs to be someexceptions, or changes, cognizant withwhat’s actually happening within thestate. Every region wants to have theirown exceptions, of course, including us,but we’ve told Collin that we want tomake certain our every-day, family pro-ducer isn’t impacted negatively byfuture farm bill legislation,” he said.

Dairy industry needschanges in legislation

Because of what’s happen-ing to dairy processors inour state, we do needsome renovation, evensome new producers tomeet this increasingdemand.

When a cookbook stands up to thetest of time — both in my own kitchenand on the sales lists of the world —you know it’s filled not only withrecipes you love but also somethingelse: techniques, tips, photographs, sto-ries and a certain personality.

One of my all-time favorite cook-books to peruse over and over again ismy camp cooking bible: “Recipes forRoughing It Easy” by consummatecamper Dian Thomas.

Thomas is a veteran Girl Scoutin’campaholic who delights in unusualcooking methods as well as preparingsurprising dishes for trailside eating.Whether you’re a tent camper, an RVeror a backyard bushwhacker, you’ll findfun and useful information on everypage. (This is the only cookbook I’veever seen that has directions for cook-ing hamburgers on your car manifold,or roasting a whole chicken in yourbackpack while you’re hiking.)

Thomas oozes enthusiasm and know-how as she recalls her quest for theultimate camp cooking experience.

Everyone likes to play with fire, andthe more things we can shove on a stickand roast over coals, the happier every-one will be. You’ve tried marshmallowsand hot dogs, but how about adding afresh, hot breadstick to your repertoire?And no need to dirty a mixing bowl:The Bisquick box works just fine.Bread on a Stick

1 dowel or roasting stick per person1 box Bisquick mix (number served

determines the size)1 cup water, in a bottle1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine1 cup honey or jamWith the end of the stick, make a lit-

tle well in the open box of Bisquick.Pour about a tablespoon of water intothe well. Place the stick in the well andbegin stirring until a small ball ofdough forms around the stick. Lift thestick out of the box and press thedough firmly around the end of thestick. Pass the box and water bottle tothe next person to repeat.

Grill the dough over a bed of hotcoals and turn often. When it is goldenbrown and cooked throughout, slide itoff the stick. Butter and slather withhoney or jam. A large box of Bisquickserves over 20.

For a radical riff on bacon and eggs,try Breakfast Cooked in a Paper Bag.The bacon provides enough fat and fla-

vor to cook the egg without sticking,while the paper bag sops up any extragrease. You can add more bacon andeggs and adjust the cooking times,depending on your appetite.Breakfast Cooked in a Paper Bag

To cook bacon and eggs for breakfast,cut a strip of bacon in half. Spread it onthe bottom of a new lunch-sized papersack. Break an egg and drop it on topof the bacon inside the sack. To makescrambled eggs, open and fold downthe top of the bag. Crack the shell, holdit high over the bag, and release theegg. When it hits the bottom of the bag,it will be scrambled.

Beginning at the top, roll the sack downin one-inch folds until you reach the mid-dle of the sack. Poke a stick through therolled folds at the top of the sack and holdit over a bed of coals, or set it on a piece offoil above a bed of hot coals. Grease willappear along the bottom of the bag as thefood cooks.The bacon and egg will cook inabout 10 minutes.

Cast-iron Dutch ovens are traditionalcamping cookware that are worth theirsubstantial weight on a camping trip.The Dutch oven is placed on top ofsome coals; then more coals are placedon top of the oven. You can use Dutchovens to cook desserts, breads, entreesand side dishes right in your campfireor on top of your grill. The book evencontains a chart for figuring out howmany charcoal briquettes it takes tocook your meal to perfection.Dump Cake (for charcoal Dutch oven)

1 (29-ounce) can sliced peaches withjuice

1 (18.25-ounce) white or yellow cakemix

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or mar-garine, cold

Into a 12-inch Dutch oven, pourpeaches and juice. On the top of thepeaches, evenly spread the dry cake mix;stir slightly to moisten. Dot the top with

butter or margarine.Heat the Dutch oven

over nine hot coals. Coverwith Dutch oven lid andplace 15 hot coals on thetop to create a 325 F oven.Bake, covered, 30-40 min-utes, or until top is goldenbrown and a toothpickinserted in the centercomes out clean. Serves 8to 10.

Tips: Canned pineap-ple, cherries, apples andother fruits or unthick-ened pie filling may be

substituted for peaches. If you use thick-ened pie filling, add 1 can of lemon-limesoda pop. Chopped nuts also can be sprin-kled over the top. The flavor of the cakemay also be varied by selecting a differentmix and fruit. Cherry pie filling is deli-cious with chocolate cake. The Dutch ovencan be lined with heavy-duty aluminumfoil for easy cleaning.

Using young, tender dandelion leavesfrom plants that haven’t flowered yet isthe secret to enjoying dandelion greens.The ones in your backyard will do justfine as long as they haven’t beensprayed. It’s late in the season to findyoung dandelions, but we did manageto bag a few and added them to thissimple main-dish salad. High-qualityham is more expensive, but since it’smore flavorful, you need less, so it’s awash. Four out of four Johnson yums.

Dandelion Greens with Smoked Ham3 cups dandelion greens or mixed

salad greens1/2 red onion, sliced1/2 cup smoked ham, cubed1 cup bleu cheese or Roquefort

dressingWash greens thoroughly and pat dry

with paper towels. In a salad bowl,tear greens into bite-sized pieces andcombine with onion, smoked ham anddressing, as desired. Serves 4 to 6.

Tips: When the “troops” run out ofthings to do, send them out to pickdandelions. Use the flowers for a cen-terpiece and the greens for this salad.In the woods, dandelions probablyhaven’t been sprayed with chemicals;however, avoid using those in youryard that might have been sprayed.

Daylight is diminishing. When Istart mowing the lawn after supper, Ican no longer get it finished beforedark. Blackness has also pushed myearly morning trek down the gravelroad into a later hour. After seeing theshadowed profile of a coyote crossingthe road, I needed no further convinc-ing that although the early bird mayget the worm, the runner who waitsfor sunup saves her limbs.

We mark the passage of time as chil-

dren go back to school and farmers reapthe harvest of spring’s planting. “Thesummer went by too fast,” we hear andsay. “I can’t believe it’s fall already.”

The writer of Psalm 90 asks God toteach him to number his days. We knowwhat it is to number things — whetherit’s the number of bushels we’ve presold,the number of pills left in the bottlebefore the next trip to the pharmacy, orthe number of pizzas we need in thefreezer to feed teenagers this weekend.

When is the last time youand I have thought aboutnumbering our days?Granted, only God knowsthe accurate count of thedays and hours we have lefton this earth. Thinking real-istically, how many years doyou think you have left? Ifyou were going to mark yourlife with an expiration date,what year would you guessfor your shelf life?

That may sound morbidand depressing, but the reality is thatnone of us are going to live forever. “TheBucket List,” a 2007 comedy-dramafilm, starring Jack Nicholson and Mor-gan Freeman, popularized the wisdomof numbering our days. The main plottrails two terminally ill men who go ona road trip with theirwish lists — the thingsthey want to do beforethey “kick the bucket.”

Bucket lists are asdiverse as the peoplewho pen them. Whetherthe lists are put topaper or written in ourminds’ “someday list” —we all have things we’dlike to do or accomplishbefore breathing ourlast. It’s what inspiresroad trips and new hob-bies, business expansionand weight loss. It motivates 70-year-olds to buy motorcycles and 40-some-things to jump out of airplanes.

This summer, when we askedyoungest daughter, Melanie, what she’dlike for her 18th birthday, we receivedher typical response that she doesn’tneed anything. We pressed further andlearned a surprising PS to the conver-sation. “I’d really like to go skydiving.”

“Skydiving?” her father asked. “Areyou nuts?”

Long story short, we scheduled herskydiving adventure for the afternoonof her first day of her senior year ofhigh school. She was gracious enoughto let me join in her crazy escapade.

On jump day, after we sat through aninformational video, initialed andsigned our rights away on a clipboardfull of legal documents, and rode out tothe drop zone to wait for our plane,Mike was still shaking his head at thecrazy women he calls family. We were alittle leery ourselves when one of theground instructors took off in his golfcart punctuating his “Cut-away!” crieswith a few expletives.

I didn’t need a skydivingtutorial to tell me that cut-away meant trouble. We sawthe solo jumper’s parachutepredicament as she discon-nected the main chute, reliedon her reserve parachute,and landed in a cornfield. Ilooked at Melanie andnoticed that her face was los-ing color. I turned towardMike who probably noted thesame thing about me. All Iknew for sure is that if thatjumper was injured or dead,

this G Force gig was over.“Is she OK?” I asked the instructors

who were taking Melanie and I tandem.“No problem,” we were assured as

they pushed us toward the plane beforewe had too much time to think about

what we had just eye-witnessed. “That’s whythere are two para-chutes!” As our planegained altitude, I won-dered about the two-parachute regulation. Iftwo chutes were good,wouldn’t three be better?

As we gained eleva-tion, the instructorsjoked around with usand pointed out the“cut-away” skydiver whowas walking back to thehanger. I prayed. The

instructors secured our harnesses andgave final instructions on how we weregoing to exit the aircraft. I prayed. Wewaddled like ducks to the open door,and when I saw just how far 13,000feet in the air really is, I wondered ifMike wasn’t right about my needing tohave my head examined.

What happened next is too amazingfor words. The 120 mph freefall lastedfor nearly a minute, the parachuteopened with a powerful jolt that shotus back in the air for a few seconds,and then the instructor maneuveredthe chute while I savored the beauty ofthis world from a new angle.

Melanie glided into a picture-perfecttouchdown. I landed less gracefully, fill-ing my pants with the drop zone’sfreshly mown grass. Mike took picturesof his crazy women as we celebratedand savored the experience.

As daylight diminished on our jumpday, I gratefully crossed an item off mybucket list. Truth be told, jumping outof an airplane is one of the easier

THE BACK PORCH

By Lenae Bulthuis

As our planegained altitude,I wonderedabout the two-parachute regu-lation. If twochutes weregood, wouldn’tthree be better?

See PORCH, pg. 16B

The winter of 2010-11 was atough one for even the hardi-est Minnesotan to endure.

It was an even tougherwinter for Minnesota’spheasant population.

The Minnesota Depart-ment of Natural Resource’sannual August roadside sur-vey released recentlyshowed a near-record 64-percent decline in thepheasant index.

That’s the lowest since 1986 and thesecond lowest since the survey wasstandardized in 1955.

“A hard winter, a wet spring — that’salways bad news,” said Kurt Haroldson ofthe DNR’s Farmland Wildlife PopulationsResearch Unit near Madelia, Minn.,adding that while he expected a decline,he wasn’t expecting one quite as dra-matic.

The 2011 pheasant index, which sug-gests the relative abundance of birdsacross Minnesota’s pheasant range,was 23 birds per 100 miles, down froma 2010 figure of 64 birds/100 miles.

In the west central region, numbersdeclined 62 percent from 74.2 birds/100miles to 28.2 birds/100 miles.

In the central region, 76.4 birds/100 mileswere tallied compared to 18.9 birds/100miles this year, a 75 percent decline.

Birds in the south central regionwere down 59 percent, from 56.5birds/100 miles last year to 23.1birds/100 miles.

The southeast region saw a decline of39 percent, from 8.6 birds/100 miles to5.3 birds.

The southwest region,where the best hunting hasbeen found in recent years,posted the most dramaticdecline — from 104.2birds/100 miles to 19.2 birds— a fall of 82 percent.

Only the east centralregion, where winter condi-tions were not as severe,held its own. In 2010, theindex was 49.8 birds/100miles. This year, it was 50.8,

a marginal increase of slightly lessthan 2 percent.

Minnesota wasn’t the only state tochart bad news in the pheasant depart-ment, Haroldson said.

In South Dakota, the numbers sug-gest a decline of 46 percent statewideand an even more dramatic fall in theeastern part of the state.

In Iowa, pheasant numbers are down40 percent. While the final numbers forNorth Dakota are not yet compiled,spring counts didn’t offer much reasonfor optimism.

Of course, there is always the possibil-ity of late nesting success that wouldn’tshow up in the wildlife census.

Haroldson said the observed ratio ofhens to roosters during the roadsidesurveys conducted in early August leftthe possibility that hens still may havebeen nesting or tending to broods.

Unfortunately, it also could havemeant that many more hens were vic-tims of the severe winter.

“Anecdotal reports suggest a latenesting effort but those numbers

Rough winter put chillon pheasant numbers

PORCH, from pg. 14Bthings to do on anyone’s list. It’s much more difficult tolove unconditionally, forgive freely and serveunselfishly. A life lived well is not determined by whatwe’ve accomplished or done for ourselves; it’s aboutwho we’ve loved and how we’ve served.

Mother Teresa wisely said,“At the end of life we will not bejudged by how many diplomas we have received, how muchmoney we have made, how many great things we have done.We will be judged by, ‘I was hungry, and you gave me some-thing to eat. I was naked and you clothed me. I was home-less, and you took me in.’ Hungry not only for bread, but hun-gry for love. Naked not only for clothing, but naked of humandignity and respect. Homeless not only for want of a home ofbricks, but homeless because of rejection.”

That’s what it means to not only number our days,but to make sure they really count as well.

CROSS, from pg. 15Balways are hard to quantify,” he said.

When the last feathers of the 2011 Minnesota Pheas-ant Season settle, Haroldson expects about 249,000roosters, comparable to the 2001 harvest level.

Ringnecks have proved to be a resilient lot andHaroldson said that given some decent weather andsuitable habitat, numbers could rebound quickly.

“In 2001, hunters harvested 267,000 pheasantsbut just two years later, they harvested 511,000, sothey can recover quickly,” he said.

Not surprisingly, the 25-year-old ConservationReserve Program factors heavily into the habitatequation.

Unfortunately, with Congress wrestling withbudget issues, signs coming from Washington,D.C., about the future of the CRP, its relatively lowcost and high popularity with taxpayers notwith-standing, aren’t particularly encouraging rightnow as they write the 2012 farm bill.

This year, the loss of CRP acres in Minnesota’spheasant range during the past year were offsetby gains in Reinvest In Minnesota-WetlandReserve acres and acquisition of Wildlife Manage-ment Areas and Waterfowl Production areas.

“The Heritage Fund money is really starting tokick in,” Haroldson said. However, he cautionedthat in spite of the accelerated acquisition of grass-lands through state programs, federal farm pro-grams such as the CRP remain the most importantcomponent in providing wildlife habitat.

By all counts, it looks like we all are going tohave plenty of time this fall between flushes.

Time, perhaps, for composing a letter to our law-makers in support of the inclusion of the CRP inthe 2012 farm bill.
