Scarce supplies mean long lines at pipeline terminals — Cold temps

mean big bills for consumersStory on Page 7

Seven years ago, with the arrival of ourtwo incredible daughters, my wife’s fatherbecame a grandpa for the first time. Inabout two months I’ll become one, too.

Adoption has a way of compressing andrearranging your life like that.

My wife and I sometimes feel like we’velived a lifetime with our children — see-ing one grow from a little chubby-cheekedgirl to a statuesque high school beauty;the other from a defiant-at-any-cost teento a young woman finally growing com-fortable in her own skin — and we’veonly been a family since 2007.

Ours was very literally a planned parent-hood. Over-planned, really. We attended numerousclasses, signed endless paperwork, had our backgrounds(and those of close friends and relatives) checked by lawenforcement, had our homeinspected and critiqued, read hun-dreds of one- or two-paragraph fostercare system profiles of “hard toplace” older children whose pastswere heart-breaking and whosefutures were in doubt ... and still wedragged our feet for years.

Then we happened to receive ane-mail about two sisters and, with-out even knowing they were doingit, the girls reached into ourchests, grabbed tightly onto ourhearts, and instantly turned ourlives upside down, inside out, andevery which way.

I don’t know if I’ve ever — officially, to their faces — thanked my mom and dadfor everything they’ve done for me. Raising my fourolder siblings and me out in Iowa’s corn and soybeanboonies in the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s couldn’t have beeneasy. By the time I showed up they must have beenplum tired of parenting all of us yahoos.

Children are exhausting. Sometimes they have thenerve to not do what you tell them to, and their livesdon’t always immediately go in the direction you’vegot mapped out for them. This may be shocking newsto many of you.

Poor choices and head-scratching decisions? I’ve mademy share over the past 40-some years. But even thoughmy parents — and my wife’s parents — have undoubt-edly been disappointed in me on any number of occa-sions, I am at peace with where life’s roads havebrought me. I mean, a person shouldn’t go out of theirway to do stupid things, but you need to be free to makemistakes so that you can learn from them, and use

those lessons to become a better person.I have to remind myself to afford this

same grace to my own children.In the perfect world in my mind, my elder

daughter put a few more years betweenherself and her childhood before creating achild of her own, establishing a full-timecareer for herself, building up some savings,and being with her partner for, say, 25 or 30years just to make sure it was going to last.

In the perfect world in my mind, myyounger daughter enjoys discussing cur-

rent events, football and comic books asmuch as I do, and would rather listento Steely Dan than Ke$ha.

Selfishness is a big part of my problem, sure. I wasn’t at the hospital when they were born, didn’t

get to rock them to sleep in myarms, didn’t get to hug them out-side of school on their first day ofkindergarten, didn’t get to protectthem from the monsters undertheir beds, didn’t get to “mold”them before they became adultsand started their own lives withoutme — and that makes me jealous.I want to have had those experi-ences, both the special and the bor-ing everyday ones, that all of theother “regular” parents had withtheir children.

Yeah, I know that it’s not about“me.”

But maybe it’s not really aboutmy children, either. Maybe it’s about the generationafter them. Maybe it’s about the opportunities thatmy grandchildren will have because my wife and Iadopted two girls out of foster care and into a foreverfamily — a lifetime and seven years ago.

Looking back, I guess all it really took was a littlebit of love, faith and hope ... and I bet my family hasmore where that came from.

I’m looking forward to meeting that granddaughterof mine.

To the Editor:Much has been written about the

farm bill, or should I say potentialfarm bill. As far as the dairy portion,people are concerned that the perma-nent law will go in to effect. I believethe biggest difference between farmsin the late-1940s and now is profitabil-ity. In the late-’40s you could borrowmoney on character and pay for yourfarm in a few short years.

Right now, the price of milk is about

$18 per hundred-weight. If permanentlaw takes effect, theprice of milk goes toabout $38/cwt., an increase of $20/cwt.That $20 equals $1.66 a gallon. Somepeople are saying fluid milk would goto $7 or $8 a gallon. It may, but it doesnot have to.

The value of 100 pounds of raw milkdoes not change what can be manufac-tured from it, nor does it change thecost associated with manufacturing(which the processors have coveredwith a make allowance).

I do not know a dairy farmer who isnot overworked. A better milk pricecould ease that situation in manyways. Perhaps more hired labor, moreor newer equipment, or perhaps fewercows to hold that better price.

Use your imagination; many thingsare possible for organized farmers.

To the Editor:It seems there is not an end of the

relentless, unfounded assaults inagriculture in Todd County, Min-nesota. Much of this is due to NIM-BYs — Not In My Back Yarders.

Everyone demands the best foodwhile criticizing the practices of thosewho produce it for them. If everyonein this nation would produce morethan they consume, there would notbe a need for production agriculture.Anyone who does not feed themselvesdoes not have a basis for complaint.

We would appreciate the opportu-nity to provide the following informa-tion for the readers of your paper. Thisis not based in hysterical emotional-

ism. It is based on facts collected fromthe National Agricultural StatisticsService and other government agen-cies, presented at the Minnesota FarmBureau meeting, and other sources.

In 1960, there were 59 million pigs inthis country. It took six pounds of feedto produce one pound of pork. Today,there are 59.8 million pigs in thiscountry and it only takes three poundsof feed to produce one pound of pork.

In 1960, there were 96.2 million beef

cattle. The feed conversion was eightpounds of feed to produce one pound ofbeef. Today, there are 98.1 million cat-tle and the conversion ratio is 4-to-1.

In 1960, there were 19 million dairycows producing 123 billion pounds ofmilk. Today only 9.2 million cows pro-duce 189 billion pounds of milk. Thisarea alone reduces the carbon foot-print needed to produce milk andcheese for the world by 70 percent.

Today, mainly due to urban sprawl andthe unincorporated decimation of openspace, there are 50 million fewer cropacres as there were in 1930. That is 15percent fewer acres for food production.This is all occurring while the number ofpeople in the world has tripled since 1960.

In 2010, there was 87 percent morecorn produced in this nation than in1980 while applying 4 percent lessnutrients. In approximations, thatamounts to twice as much food withthe same amount of crop nutrients.

Do people realize about 17 percent ofthe arable land is irrigated while thesame produces well over 40 percent ofthe food? It is estimated over 90 per-cent of potatoes grown are irrigated. Ifone does not like irrigation, quit eatingfrench fries.

Unfortunately these facts seem to beirrelevant to some NIMBYs and, as aconsequence, it is becoming more andmore difficult for local food producersto stay in business.Roger ZastrowMinnesota Farm Bureau Todd County delegateLong Prairie, Minn.Roger DukowitzMinnesota Farm Bureau Policy Committee District4 RepresentativeBrowerville, Minn.

To the Editor:The letter to the editor

“Produce your own food, ordon’t complain” was thought provok-ing, to say the least. (Editor’s note:That letter, appearing in this issue onthe previous page, originally ran in theJan. 10 Northern Edition of The Land.)

I believe the attitude presented byRoger Zastrow and Roger Dukowitz isdamaging to the public perception of ourindustry. Certainly, we all should beproud of the productive advance of ourindustry and much should be said aboutthat major advance. Might I add thatmany of those wonderful achievementsare based on good science. I also decryurban sprawl. Most of those advanceswere during my tenure as a corn-soy-bean-hog farmer in southern Minnesota.

However, consumers have every rightto be concerned with what goes into theirbodies. Indeed, we are what we eat. Inour highly specialized economy, we all

should be concernedand, if necessary, criti-

cize the practices of thosewho produce any product for us all.

If it were not for watchdogs such asRachel Carson, for example, and hercrusade against DDT, we would nothave the majestic bald eagle. If it hadnot been for public pressure therewould not be state and federal meatinspectors. If it were not for concernover certain antibiotics being fed tohogs, those drugs would not have beenrecently withdrawn from use. If it werenot for public pressure and competi-tion from foreign auto makers wewould not have the vast improvementsin crash safety and gas mileage today.If it were not for the horrible DustBowl we would not have the Soil andWater Conservation Districts which, inmy opinion, have gone a long way inpreserving the productive lands wehave today. If it were not for good sci-

ence, diethylstilbestrol would not havebeen banned from use as a growth pro-motant in the cattle industry. Whatabout BHT? This list is almost endless.

And further, the present controversyover GMOs will possibly produce pres-sure to do good science rather then“emotionalism” in that area. (Yes, I amreserving an opinion on that issue.)

Just as farmers are consumers of thefarm equipment industry and the farmchemical and fertilizer industries, we

have every right to complain to theseindustries telling them of the problemswith their products. The food consumershave every right to be concerned. But,those concerns should be based on goodscience not emotional knee jerks.Remember, farm families also eat.

A strong public relations programwith a conciliatory and cooperativeattitude is much needed.Malcolm G. MaxwellMenahga, Minn.

OPINION

A Purdue University agriculturaleconomist is producing a series of pub-lications to help farmers, policymakersand taxpayers better understandchanging U.S. agricultural policy anddevelop informed opinions about them.

The Purdue Extension free publica-tions under the series title of “APEX,” anacronym for Ag Policy Explained, willdelve into public policy issues and howthey affect the agricultural economy.

The first publication, “The End of theDirect Payment Era in U.S. Farm Pol-icy,” explains why direct payments tofarmers likely will end with enactmentof a new five-year farm bill and how theelimination might affect the agricul-tural economy as other support pro-grams are created. Initial topics of theother publications also will focus onfarm bill issues, including agriculturalrisk and policy, farm bill budget andbaseline, farm bill eligibility and pay-

ment limits. The series later will coverother policy topics of importance to agri-culture such as immigration, renewablefuels, animal welfare and local issues.

Project leader and author RomanKeeney notes in “The End of the DirectPayment Era” that the idea of elimi-nating direct payments — governmentsubsidies provided to farmers regard-less of need — has near unanimoussupport among lawmakers as theynow debate a new farm bill.

All of the publications in the series willbe available online at Purdue Extension’sThe Education Store at www.the-educa-tion-store.com. “The End of the DirectPayment Era” can be found by searchingfor publication number EC-774-W or bythe name of the publication.

According to most CapitolHill sources, the once-2012,then-2013 and now 2014farm bill should clear itsfinal hurdle before the endof January so Congress —after three years of uglyfighting — finally canapprove a new farm law.

Passage brings no glory.Golly, Abraham Lincoln gothimself elected president,raised an army, built anavy, turned the tide inthe Civil War and passedthe Emancipation Procla-mation in less time than this Con-gress finally agreed on nothing morethreatening than how to spend $100billion a year for the next five years.

By any standard, that record holdsmore shame than achievement.

The failure to get a farm law beforethe old one expired in 2012 was tiedto the presidential election that year.The rump caucus of House Republi-cans wanted to deny the ObamaWhite House any legislative achieve-ment to crow about during its reelec-tion campaign.

And, it did. So a minority of theHouse majority sidetracked the farmbill and forced the nation to waitanother year.

The 2013 fight centered on howdeeply Congress would cut SNAP, thenation’s biggest food assistance pro-

gram, that had balloonedfrom 28.2 million recipientsand $34.6 billion in 2008 to46.6 million recipients and$74.6 billion in 2012.

The Senate and Houseboth agreed on multi-bil-lion-dollar cuts to, in part,finance an expansion offarmer-favored crop insur-ance. The Senate thought $8billion would do; the Housewanted $40 billion and it

voted to strip SNAP fromthe farm bill as proof ofits seriousness.

Today, however, the about-to-be-approved 2014 bill not only foldsSNAP back into the farm bill, theHouse’s deep, $40 billion cut itself wasdeeply cut to close to the Senate’s 2013figure of less than $10 billion.

So what was that year really allabout?

Was it an impressive show of muscleby the Tea Party wing of a split Repub-lican House majority or was it a dis-play of collective ag group weakness tostay out of the SNAP budget fight inorder to finance fatter governmentinsurance schemes?

Whatever the reason, most majorfarm and commodity organizations —excluding the National Farmers Union— stared at their belly buttons whenasked to take a stand against Housecuts to not feed Americans even as

they continued to lobby hard for moregovernment subsidies to “feed theworld.”

In the end, the restoration of SNAPto the farm bill and the likelihood ofjust $9 billion in SNAP cuts showsmore about the political reality of farmbills than the Congressional partisan-ship and farm group wimpmanshipthat goes into ’em.

According to the Nov. 29 Wall StreetJournal — view the story at http://far-mandfoodfile.com/in-the-news — sevenof the top 10 states with the highestpercentage of food stamp recipients (indescending order: Mississippi, Ten-nessee, Louisiana, Kentucky, Georgia,Alabama and West Virginia) “are some

of the reddest states on the electoralmap. Eleven of their 14 senators areRepublican and their House delega-tions are all Republican ...”

So, what was this years-long delayabout if Barack Obama was easilyreelected president and one out of fivecitizens in the most solidly Republicanstates “on the electoral map” are thebiggest beneficiaries of SNAP?

Part of it, so the story goes, was theadamant opposition by House SpeakerJohn Boehner to a proposed change indairy policy he described as “Soviet-style” supply management.

But even that dog has fleas becausethe speaker’s 2013 vote on that going-nowhere House farm bill, reported RollCall, the Capitol Hill newspaper, Jan.9, “was the first such vote he’s takenon the issue since 1996.”

So why did it take so long?

The biggest reason is that Congressno longer resembles America. A mid-November Gallup poll found that only9 percent of all Americans approved of“the way Congress did its job.”

Nine percent. What do those folkssee that you and I don’t?

Alan Guebert’s “Farm and Food File”is published weekly in more than 70newspapers in North America. Contacthim at [email protected] columns, news and events areposted at www.farmandfoodfile.com. ❖

What exactly was that farm bill battle about anyway?

Late last fall, a gallon ofpropane gas was about $1.50— a level it had long hoveredaround.

When the propane deliverytruck rolled up to TimGieseke’s rural New Ulm,Minn., residence a few daysago, the driver filled Gieseke’s tank with 224 gallonsof fuel and handed him the bill.

“It was $3.75 a gallon. Around $800,” Gieseke said.As it turns out, Gieseke got somewhat of a bargain.

On Jan. 24, local propane dealers were selling it foraround $5 a gallon.

For those who heat their homes with propane, theprice spiral — with no guarantee it won’t continueupward — is a financial burden. Most rural propanetanks are 500 gallons and are filled 80 percent full,or about 400 gallons. At $5 that’s a $2,000 bill.

How long a tank lasts varies widely. Someone heat-ing a home and maybe a larger shop could gothrough that tank in about a month. Gieseke is hop-ing he will be able to nurse his now full tank throughmuch of the rest of the winter.

“I mentioned to the family that we’re turning (theheat) down a notch,” he said.

The price spike,being felt nationwide, is caused by a cou-ple of things. Corn harvested by farmers across the Mid-west last fall contained more moisture than normal,meaning they used a lot of propane to heat burners thatdry the corn kernels before being stored inside grain bins.

Then bitter cold weather came quick and has per-sisted, increasing usage across the nation.

One area co-op manager, who didn’t want his nameused, said it’s become more and more difficult to getpropane.

Many of the area propane providers get product frompipelines near Eagle Lake, Minn., and Vernon Center,Minn. But little is available at Eagle Lake, and the Ver-non Center pipeline is being allocated, so each propanebusiness can only take a certain amount.

“We’ve been to Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas,” the co-opmanager said of the business’ pursuit of propane.“Next week we’re going to Texas.”

Truckers waiting at the Vernon Center terminalJan. 24 said they have up to a seven-hour wait inline. Other big terminals around the country havewaiting lines that stretch to 24 hours or more.

The cost of a tanker truck driving to Nebraska andback for propane can add around 90 cents a gallon tothe product’s cost.

“If the cold continues and the supply continues tobe tight, I don’t see prices coming down in the nearfuture,” said the co-op manager.

The reason he didn’t want his name used isbecause he hasn’t been a popular guy lately as cus-tomers take their frustrations out on him.

“That’s pretty much what my day consists of.”His problems of getting enough propane to Min-

nesota could become considerably worse later this year.

Minnesota will be losing a pipeline that carries 40percent of the state’s propane. The 1,900-mile Cochinpipeline — which runs through the Mankato area —carries propane from western Canada all the way tothe eastern United States.

Canada is producing less propane, so the companythat owns the pipeline, Kinder Morgan, will stoppropane shipments, reverse the pipeline’s flow, andsend light petroleum condensate from the UnitedStates for use by Canada’s booming oil industry.

Last year, Gov. Mark Dayton, the state commercecommissioner and propane wholesalers met to dis-cuss strategies to avoid supply problems when thepipeline stops sending propane this April.

Wholesalers said they are building and convertingterminals to take propane deliveries by train and

expanding propane storage, among other things.Those who live in towns and cities and heat with nat-

ural gas may be seeing some price increases as well.The cold weather has caused a jump in natural gasprices sold on exchanges, particularly in the northeast.

Consumers who use natural gas may not suffer asmuch, though. That’s because many big utilities areable to hedge natural gas prices by purchasingfutures contracts.

Still, natural gas prices have been depressed in recentyears because of a supply glut and relatively mild winters.But supplies have tightened a bit recently and some ana-lysts expect prices to move higher throughout the winter.

Started in 2003and a biodiesel refin-ing facility added in2005, the MinnesotaSoybean Processorscooperative at Brew-ster, Minn., is aboutto join the bigleagues.

Despite construction slowed by win-ter challenges, a new $8 million unit-train facility capable of 110 hopperbottom rail cars should be operationalin February, or early March at the lat-est. Each car can carry 100 tons ofsoybean meal.

Rob Hofstra, commercial managerof MSP, said the completion of theunit-train facility this spring will dra-matically improve both the quantity

and the time frame for moving prod-ucts from MSP to various destinationsacross America and other markets. Itwill take 500,000 bushels of processedsoybeans to fill one unit train. He’slooking at a three-day timeframe toload such a train.

A bigger bonus issimply logistics.Rail shipping is afragmented andoften unreliablebusiness these days.It sometimes isweeks, evenmonths, before MSPhopper cars getback to the Brew-ster facility. How-ever with its own110-car loadingfacility, MSP will beable to much better

control the movement of its leased railcars.

Soybean meal is the main product.But there’s also crude soybean oil, soy-bean hull pellets, biodiesel and crudeglycerin. Those soybean pellets, a high-fiber feedstuff, have a good area mar-ket with both dairy and beef produc-ers.

The bulk of soybean meal processedat MSP goes to domestic feed markets,feed mills and feed manufacturers inMinnesota and northwest Iowa. Thereare “lots of hog producers and a few bigpoultry and broiler operations innorthwest Iowa, so about 60 percent ofour meal goes into that Iowa market,”Hofstra said. Thanks to rail shipmentswhich now account for about 60 per-cent of MSP distribution, soybeanmeal gets shipped into 30 states.

Currently only about 3 percent ofMSP products go into the export mar-

ket. “That ramped up slightly this pastyear and we see an expanding marketbecause of the expanding pork andaquaculture industries developing inseveral of the Asian countries,” Hofstrasaid. Development of their unit-trainloading facility will also open up theMexico market.

“We’ll run 110-car unit trains to the(Mississippi) river; then barge ourmeal down the Mississippi to NewOrleans for ocean vessels delivering toforeign markets around the world,”Hofstra said. With the expanding fish,poultry and pork industry in Mexico,he sees this neighbor as potentiallybeing a big market for U.S. soybeanmeal, including MSP meal.

“Because Mexico is so dry, they can’tgrow all their own soybeans. They dohave some crushing facilities but thereal growth for them is bringing inmeal ready-to-use.

He said the added complexity of theMexican market is that they don’t allowjust a single train car but they do per-mit unit trains across their borders. “Sothis is a tremendous opportunity for usto grow our market share,” he said.Direct shipments on the Union Pacificis the shipping corridor for these unittrains from Brewster to Mexico.

MSP, from pg. 8Area livestock pro-

ducers are encouragedto buy direct at theplant, be that soy mealor the soy pellets. Hofs-tra said it’s always agood idea to call aheadso a particular load outramp is ready whenyour truck arrives.

The growing seasonclimate makes a dif-ference in the soy-bean processing busi-ness, too. “Last yearwe were blessed withwhat we call themagic bean. We had good yields, highprotein and excellent oil content. Thatall adds up to a profitable businessyear for MSP because we get paid onthe quality of that oil and the proteinqualities, also,” Hofstra said.

“As we go forward we hope to do aswell with the 2014 crop. Seed compa-nies have done a fantastic job in pro-viding great varieties to our growers.Considering some of the drought chal-lenges of recent years we’ve beenpleased that our growers have stillbeen able to provide quality soybeans.”

MSP doesn’t suggest spe-cific varieties to its coopera-tive grower-members.“We’ve got sharp growers.They pay attention to data,whether that be from theUniversity of Minnesota,plot data from individualseed companies, or resultsfrom their own farms. Andwe know this is a continu-ally changing recipe so itjust isn’t logical that wemake recommendations,”Hofstra said.

With markets in 30 statesand a growing opportunityin foreign countries, howdoes MSP find new markets?

Thanks to ever-expanding electronic andcyber technologies, markets today happenin multiple ways. “We get lots of action offour website; we go to trade shows to meetprospective buyers, we’re here at the Min-nesota Ag Expo to get more peopleinformed about us. But new markets alsospringboard from our existing customers.Plus the ‘tried and true’ way of phone calls,leg work, connecting the dots and talkingto new people.

“We’re always looking to expand ourmarkets into overall industry contacts.The

more people you can reach out and connectwith, the better you are,” Hofstra said.

With a factory design processing capac-ity of 100,000 bushels per 24-hour day,when the markets are good, the MSP peo-ple don’t mind “pushing the envelope.”“We’re doing about 105,000 bushels cur-rently with an ambition to increase to110,000 and 120,000 bushels as soon asmarkets dictate,” Hofstra said, adding“with our expanded rail capabilities we

hope to maximize the efficiencies withinthis plant and run it ‘full out.”’

Hofstra was interviewed at the MNAg Expo held early January inMankato, Minn.

Currently about 25percent of U.S. porkproduction is mar-keted overseas andabout 13 percent ofU.S. beef productionis exported. “And keyto this huge marketis that much of these carcass itemssold overseas have little or zero valuein our U.S. domestic market,” saidGreg Hanes, U.S. Meat Export Feder-ation assistant vice president in Den-ver, Colo.

Hanes said that these “low-value”variety meats are tongues, livers, theuteri, etc. “These items are sold inthe international market at substan-tially higher prices which of course isa net plus for the U.S. beef industry.”

The strength of the USMEF is itsnetwork of 18 offices around theglobe. “These offices cover about 120different countries. They are staffedby local people so they understandthe culture, the customs of eachcountry. So if someone in a particularcountry has a question about buyingU.S. meat products, a visit to theirmeat export office is often the start-ing point,” he said.

Pulling the American side togetherwith the foreign side is how thesepurchase agreements happen. “Edu-cation is the key thing. Any timeyou’re in a market situation, thatlocal buyer is going to think his prod-uct is the best. So we have to con-vince them on the safety, the quality,the consistency and the reasonableprices that the American livestockindustry can provide,” Hanes said.

A good example of the value of edu-cation is the Japanese market for U.S.

beef. With the single break a fewyears back of a single “mad cow” situ-ation in America, Japan suddenly quitbuying U.S. beef. “Thanks to a heavyeducational campaign, we’ve finallyrebuilt that market and Japan is nowagain the biggest buyer of U.S. beef,”he said, adding that Japan is also nowa huge market for U.S. pork.

He credits the Minnesota SoybeanGrowers Association and the Min-nesota Pork Producers Associationfor big help in introducing new porkcuts like back ribs into the Japanesemarket. Again thanks to an educationprocess on how to cut their carcasses,pork back ribs are now a popular con-sumer item in Japan, Hanes said.

Mexico continues to be a majormarket both for U.S. pork and beef,though Hanes describes the Mexicanmarket as more of a commodity mar-ket. “They’re more price sensitivewhereas Japan is more value-drivenso we get much higher premiums forgood quality products. However,Mexico buys a lot of those cuts whichare of little value in our domesticmarket.”

He credits the growing overseasmarket for U.S. meats to a couple ofthings happening. “Logically No. 1 is a

growing population worldwide, espe-cially in the Asian markets. Butequally vital is the growing ‘middleclass’ economies in some of thesecountries. As people have more dis-posable income the usual place forchange is in their diets. They want toeat better; they want more protein intheir foods and that’s why U.S. porkand beef is such a preferred food item.

“High-quality and reasonablypriced proteins for the world are thestrength of the U.S. livestock indus-try. Yes, the last few years have beena challenge for our meats because ofthe higher feed costs. Plus the supplyof beef cattle is now the lowest inrecent history. And now the PED dis-ease issue may be limiting the supplyof U.S. pork. So how we balance pric-ing of U.S. meats on the global mar-ket is always a challenge, even moreso right now,” Hanes said.

He added that those same factorscurrently impacting U.S. productionalso are impacting U.S. competitorsin this world meat market. But thisbidding “war” for U.S. meat productsversus meats from other countriesvaries from country to country. Hesaid that Japan, for example, with

higher incomes among its workingpeople, is willing to buy up for U.S.products because of the quality andthe dependability of U.S. meats.

Right now Brazil has recapturedthe title of being No. 1 in beefexports. However a big surprise toU.S. livestock producers is the factthat India is now No. 1 worldwide in“beef” exports.

“We’re talking water buffalo,”Hanes said. “They categorize it asbeef. They export almost all that theyraise. Their major markets are Chinaand other neighboring countries inSoutheast Asia. Perhaps theydeserve credit for developing newmarkets for beef, but we quibble withthe quality of their ‘beef’. This allowsus to come in and ‘up sell’ with U.S.beef as these markets evolve.”

Hanes said the potential of theexport business for U.S. meat prod-ucts will continue to rise despite theongoing competition from Brazil,Argentina and Australia.

Hanes was interviewed at therecent MN Ag Expo in Mankato,Minn. ❖

“PEDV Brings Its Worst.Pork Checkoff Brings Its Best.”

That was the boldface title ofa new booklet printed by theNational Pork Board andwidely distributed at the recentMinnesota Pork Congress.

This booklet is loaded withinformation about porcine epidemic diar-rhea virus, which reportedly has alreadykilled at least 3 million U.S. swine.

First confirmed by the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture May 17, 2013,PEDV has caused the swine industryto pull together like never before. Itprompted the NPB to fund more than$1 million for PEDV research in 2013to get results into producers’ hands asquickly as possible.

Interviewed at the Minnesota PorkCongress, Lori Stevermer, new presi-dent of the Minnesota Pork ProducersAssociation, said, “first and foremoston the agenda right now is the PEDVdisease. Unfortunately so far thereisn’t vaccine that seems to effectively

prevent the disease, eventhough the best minds in uni-versities and private industryare working on this suddenlyhuge issue.”

Losses from PEDV are begin-ning to impact swine marketssimply because there are fewerpigs being marketed. Becausemarket weights are up, due in

part to lower-priced corn, there so farappears to be no reduction in total porkinto the retail market, Stevermer said.

She also suggested there will likelybe bigger dips in butcher hog numbersthis spring as PEDV death losses keepramping up.

Despite consolidations continuingacross the entire swine belt, she said Min-nesota numbers are encouraging. “We’rein a good grain production area. Wehaven’t experienced some of the incredi-ble weather challenges of some heavyhog-producing states. The Minnesotapork industry is healthy, even expandingin total hog numbers produced, despite asmall dip in producer numbers.”

Stevermer is certainly concerned

about the challenges of younger peoplewanting to get into the industry, “but I’malso optimistic,” she said. “There are alot of bright young individuals out there.Some of these larger hog operationsoffer multiple opportunities that would-n’t have happened on smaller farms.And the service industry for swine pro-ducers keeps getting bigger also.”

The Stevermer farm, near Easton,Minn., is a 150-sow farrow-to-finishoperation. “Farrow-to-finish is almostatypical in swine operations thesedays but that’s what works well for myhusband and me,” she said. Most oftheir market pigs go to Compart Fam-ily Farms for use in Compart’s brandedpork products.

She’s encouraged about the competi-tiveness of pork in retail countersacross America. “Pork is showing somedomestic growth, partly because of itsfavorable price compared to beef.Today pork products are also very com-petitive with chicken and turkey. Aspeople learn more about how to pre-pare pork they are finding pork is avery flexible meat product. And thisdefinitely is moving pork into more

retail sales,” she said. She went on tosay pork is a versatile meat, a goodprotein source and is commended forits flavor and leanness.

Will so called “meatless” meats eventu-ally get into the market or is this mostlya research fantasy at this stage?

She chuckled, but said, “that ‘meatlessMonday’ did create some interest. Ithink there will always be those chal-lenges and we do have a consuming pub-lic that at times seems easily distractedwith new foods and new health tastes.That is why our pork checkoff program isso vital. Those funds enable us to do ourown promotions and to find new mar-kets for our products, both domesticallyand overseas where about 25 percent ofour pork products are now sold.”

She doesn’t dodge the fact that asmore of our population gets furtherremoved from agriculture, the “anti-ag” agenda seemingly gets moreappealing to more people. “That’s whytelling our own story is important. Weneed more producers involved intelling their story about pork. It’s a

PEDV challenge keeps expanding in U.S. herds

Excerpts from a story by MinnesotaPublic Radio News and Mankato FreePress Staff Writer Dan Linehan

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus wasfirst reported in Minnesota last May. Itdoesn’t make humans sick, but the dis-ease is shrinking herds and could meanhigher prices at the grocery story, Min-nesota Public Radio News reported.

The number of cases in Minnesotahas jumped by almost two-thirds inthe past month, and the disease hasbeen found in about 300 hog barnsaround the state, MPR reported.

Talk of the disease dominated therecent Minnesota Pork Congress atthe Minneapolis Convention Center,said David Preisler, executive directorof the Mankato-based Minnesota PorkProducers Association.

Preisler said the cold weather hasmade biosecurity more difficult

because the virus can survive wher-ever there is moisture, even if it’ssolid ice. Cleaning trucks and equip-ment is doable, but getting them com-pletely dry is much more difficult.

Paul FitzSimmons, a partner atMapleton-based Protein Sources, said ithas been difficult for employees to watchhelplessly as entire litters die. The pigsare born looking fine, but 10 hours laterthe infected piglets are facing euthana-sia to spare them from further suffering.

“In 40 years, I’ve never seen anythinglike it,” he said, in terms of how quicklyit spreads and how fatal the virus is forpiglets. While the disease can’t sickenhumans, it has taken an emotional toll.“It was devastating to the people on thefarm,” FitzSimmons said. “Those peoplecare about those animals.”

He said three of the company’s 15sow farms have been infected. ❖

PEDV, from pg. 12fascinating industry and no one knowsit better than us guys and gals out onthe farm raising pigs.”

For Stevermer that means almostweekly sessions with grade school stu-dent; high school students; even culinarygroups at colleges and universities. Sheadmits pork producers probably weretaking some things for granted expect-ing advertising, trade shows and publicrelations campaigns to move the productfrom farms to consumer tables.

“Now we realize we need to promoteourselves. It’s a tremendously competi-tive market out there when it comes tohow consumers spend their food dollar.Like true Minnesotans, we’re kind ofmodest and don’t like talking aboutourselves. But we do have a good storyto tell and most people appreciate get-ting that story directly from we produc-ers,” Stevermer said.

She noted the National Pork Board’s

Operation Main Street program worksdirectly with producers on becomingbetter speakers, better “story tellers”about pork production. She has partici-pated in Operation Main Street doingpresentations to civic groups, Chamberof Commerce organizations, etc. Shealso does some presentations whenworking with Hubbard Feeds in theirpublic relations work.

She and husband, Dale, have threechildren. Brett, the oldest is a fresh-man at the University of Minnesota.Adam is a high school junior anddaughter, Beth, is an eighth grader.

Lori isn’t the first female MPPA pres-ident, however her husband, Dale, waspresident of the Minnesota Pork Boardback in 2005. Lori chuckled, “maybethat makes us the first husband-and-wife tandem team.”

Are pig barns going “green”? Swine specialists and engineers

from four major Midwestern universi-ties are working on the blueprintsright now to help make this segmentof American agriculture more energyefficient.

At the recent Minnesota Pork Con-gress, an eye-catching display was a30-foot by 8-foot trailer labeled the “4-State Swine Ventilation Training”unit. Somewhat looking like a fancyMinnesota ice fishing house, thisportable facility was chock full of ven-tilation equipment components todemonstrate the technologies nowavailable to keep swine and workerscomfortable and free of obnoxiousfumes and odors.

“We’re targeting barn managers,operators of facilities and individualhog producers. Our goal is to trainand educate about how ventilationsystems should be working in confine-ment hog facilities,” said University ofMinnesota agricultural engineerLarry Jacobson.

Collaborators with the U of Minclude Iowa State University, South

Dakota State University and the Uni-versity of Nebraska. Their one-dayworkshops — Managing Your UnseenEmployee: The Ventilation System —utilize both an agricultural engineerand a swine specialist.

Major components of the programinclude:

• Animal environmental needs• Static pressure/inlet velocity rela-

tionship• Cooling systems• Basic components (fans, inlets, con-

trollers)• Troubleshooting systems• Hands-on time using the equip-

ment

Due to the detailed agenda, Jacobsonsaid these workshops are generallylimited to 30 to 35 people. The cost is$1,750 per workshop session, or about$50 per person, which includes lunchand materials for all participants,including a notebook containing spe-cific details on information presented.

“Morning presentation deals withthe fundamentals of ventilation andhow swine react to different environ-ments,” Jacobson said. “The p.m. ses-sions are a hands-on event with partic-ipants shown exactly how the differentventilation components built into thistraveling classroom work in an actualhog facility.”

The afternoon session demonstratesthe importance of a vacuum in yourhog barn to make air movement workproperly. It also explains how air inletsare set and other management tacticsto continuously provide good air

exchange. “Maintaining this good envi-ronment is important both for animalsand workers,” Jacobson said.

Modern ventilation systems can befairly sophisticated — with computer-ized controls, even daunting, he said, ifyou don’t have a good understanding ofthe importance of proper air move-ment within a livestock facility.

In view of the sophistication of mod-ern swine housing, Jacobson stressedthat built-in alarm systems have nowbecome a priority. “Either high temper-ature alarms or, in case of power fail-ure, an automatic alarm system ishigh priority,” he said, indicating astand-by generator as an importantpiece of equipment.

With power failure it can be a matterof only 30 minutes until animal deathsstart occurring, Jacobson said, even inthe winter season. Hazardous gaseslike ammonia, hydrogen sulfide,methane and other greenhouse gases(carbon dioxide) can be a quick concernif air movement within a hog facilitysuddenly cuts off.

Does this suggest that negativelycharged ionization of the air could be abenefit in reducing the impact of “badair” within a hog confinement system?

“Yes, I’ve become very much aware ofthe Clean Air system of Baumgartner

GREEN, from pg. 14Environics,” Jacobson said. “Their elec-trostatic system is one of the techniquesto control dust and odorous gasesattached to those particles. Their tech-nology is one of the mitigation methodsbeing looked at in this ongoing effort toimprove air quality for our livestock.”

He also noted biofilters which treatthe exhaust air as it leaves the build-ing, and additives added to either feedor manure pits as a means to lessendirty air issues.

“It’s difficult to make general state-ments as to which ‘system’ works bet-ter because the feeds, the water andanimal numbers within a building canbe different from one swine producerto the next,” Jacobson said. “But defi-nitely we now have systems and tech-niques today which can generate dras-tically cleaner air. And generally thatequates to better gains, reduced mor-talities and better working conditionsfor employees also.”

What’s next in further improving theoverall environment for swine? “We’renow working on what we call a ‘greenpig barn’ which offers some major sug-gestions in better pig comfort,” Jacob-son said. “For example not using indoorlagoons but storing pig manure outside.Also the ability to provide cooling insidethe structure; not air conditioning, butmaking structural changes so animalsdon’t get hot. This also would reducesome of the ventilation. Move less airand you reduce emissions.

“These concepts need to be built intothe total design of such a structure.South Dakota State is intending toemploy some of these air quality itemsdisplayed here at Pork Expo into atotally new ‘green’ pig barn that willbecome part of their educationalefforts with pork producers.”

This will still be a partially slattedfloor, sort of where we were when slatsfirst started coming into practice 40years ago, Jacobson said. Bad dunging

habits when it got warm was an issuewith partial slats but with this system,floors will be cooler and that shouldeliminate the dunging on the solidfloor area. Also in a “green” pig barnsome of the heat will be removed viaconduction through the floor ratherthan just through the air.

“We’re looking at other things to makebuildings tighter and better control thetotal air movement within the struc-ture,” he said. “It may not look that muchdifferent than conventional hog barnstoday but it may have some impact onthe perception that the industry projectsto the non-agricultural audience.”

Jacobson estimated that more than5,000 swine practitioners have partici-

pated in these workshops across Min-nesota, Iowa, South Dakota andNebraska since the traveling packagewas launched a few years back.

A more-intensive program called“The Real World of Ventilation” getseven deeper into the role of ventilationin modern swine production. Instruc-tors for this program are an Extensionagricultural engineer, and MikeBrumm, noted consultant on swinedisease, health and the environment.

Perhaps a sign of the times, the Minnesota Soy-bean Growers Association has added an attorney totheir staff.

“We see a major concern developing in this ‘free-dom-to-farm’ arena on legal issues dealing with theenvironment,” said Paul Simonsen, chairman of theMinnesota Soybean Research & Promotion Council,“and more specifically on water concerns dealingwith tiling and movement of water from our agricul-tural fields.

“As we’ve participated in some of these regionaland state meetings with the Department of NaturalResources, Environmental Protection Agency andother agencies, we’ve at times felt inadequately pre-pared to present our point of view, especially withthe legal talent these agencies bring to these meet-ings.”

Joe Smentek, a specialist in environmental law, isthe new hire for the Mankato-based MSGA.

“In view of the tremendous complexities of theenvironment, especially when it comes to waterquality issues,” said Simonsen, a Renville Countyproducer, “we council members decided we needed tohave more internal expertise for Minnesota soybeanproducers. But the reality is that Joe’s work will dealwith all commodity groups protecting their freedomto operate.”International trade

Interviewed at the recent MN Ag Expo inMankato, Simonsen also gave an update on thegrowing market for Minnesota soybeans and soy-bean products such as soy meal and soy oil. Tradi-tionally Minnesota-produced soybeans are a tadlower in protein content which often is an issue ininternational trade, especially into the constantlygrowing Asian markets.

But thanks to some extensive research and aminoacid profile nutrition work by University of Min-nesota scientists, Minnesota-grown soybeans have anutritional advantage on key amino acids which arethe building blocks of protein.

“Thanks to this research,” he said, “we’re findingthe protein quality of our beans is at least as good as,and often better than, soybeans grown in other partsof the U.S. soybean belt. So what used to be a tradedisadvantage has now become a trading advantagefor our soybeans.”

A freight advantage may also be emerging.

“Unit train shipments to the West Coast have comeon rapidly the past couple of years,” Simonsen said,adding that due to growing export markets in sev-eral Asian countries, more and more Minnesotabeans are moving by unit trains. “Our local co-op ele-vator is now doing almost weekly runs of unit trainsto the West Coast. Ports on the West Coast are thenloading Panamax ships which can haul 56,000 tonsof soybeans.”

He mentioned Vietnam took its first delivery of aPanamax load of soybeans last year. Vietnam hasalso built two new soybean crushing facilities. “Andthanks to their growing swine industry and theirhuge aquaculture industry,” Simonsen said, “Viet-nam looks to be a good and growing customer of U.S.soybeans with a good amount of that being Min-nesota-grown beans.”

Simonsen noted that Vietnam is now No. 3 in aqua-culture production and No. 5 in hog production. Cur-rently 56 percent of Minnesota soybeans move intoexport markets. China is still the No. 1 buyer, but henoted that combined sales of U.S. soybeans to Viet-nam and Indonesia the first week of Januaryapproximately equaled total sales to China.Better beans

Of interest is the fact that tempeh, a traditional

soy dish of the Indonesian people, is now using U.S.soybeans. U.S. soybeans are moving directly intothat market for human consumption and GMO ori-gin is not even an issue. Tempeh is made by a natu-ral culturing fermentation process that binds soy-beans into a cake form, similar to a firm vegetarianburger patty. The fermentation process also gives ita higher content of protein, dietary fiber and vita-mins.

“They prefer U.S. soybeans,” Simonsen said,“because the color of our soybeans is more uniform,more appealing to the Indonesia people. When wewere visiting Indonesia last year we were shownsoybeans shipped in from Argentina ... and noticedpurple beans, red soybeans and other assorted col-ors. Supposedly those were No. 1 soybeans. We shipNo. 2 soybeans and ours look better than the beansfrom Argentina.”

He firmly believes that thanks to trade missionsby Minnesota soybean farmers to these Asian coun-tries, many of their buyers who used to buy on pro-tein content are now understanding the superiornutritional value of Minnesota beans because of abetter amino acid profile.

Simonsen recalls a meeting in Davenport, Iowa,last year attended by various buyers from severalAsian countries. “At the table the guy from Thailandasked the guy from the Philippines, ‘Why do youbuy only U.S. soybeans?’ The Philippine guy said ‘Infeeding trials we find the U.S. soybeans always out-perform soybeans from South America.”

Anecdotal evidence such as this apparently con-vinced Thailand to initiate some of its own feedingtrials. Ever since, Simonsen said, sales of Minnesotasoybeans to Thailand have been increasing.

“This has been a process,” he said. “We’ve been toThailand every year for three or four years now,talking to major pork and aquaculture people; alsothe major buyers of their soybeans and soy meal.

“Cost is often an issue when selling againstBrazilian or Argentinean soybeans, but this fallwhen a Thailand group came over to visit us they, inessence, said ‘We’re going to buy your soybeans evenif they do cost more. We’re going to get some into ourpork and fish system so we can determine the nutri-tional bonus of your Minnesota beans.’”

Grain prices are effective cash close on Jan. 28. 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 Angles2014 playing quietmarket time, so farAs we head into February, the grain markets are

entering a time period that has traditionally beenpretty quiet. So far, 2014 seems to be starting thesame way.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture gave us a littlebit of a surprise on Jan. 10 when they lowered the2013 corn production by 1.6bushels per acre to 158.8 bushelsper acre for a national corn yield.Corn usage for the 2013-14 sea-son was also raised by 150 mil-lion bushels, providing a brief liftto the markets before retreating.

In the same report, the nationalsoybean yield was raised 0.3bushels per acre to 43.3 bushelsper acre. Soybean exports werealso increased, offsetting theincrease in yield. This left theending stocks for soybeansunchanged. Our winter monthscan provide more volatility to the soybean marketbecause of these exports.

South American growing conditions can also havean impact on the world supply and demand and thesoybean market this time of year. As expected, therehas been a little more price movement in soybeansthis year when comparing it to corn, but overallprices seem to be content staying within the latestrange that has developed.

The January USDA report is in the books. Typicallythere aren’t many high-impact events that move themarkets until the USDA planted acreage report atthe end of March. This quiet period gives you anopportunity to start planning your grain sales with-out being influenced by the short-term market

Grain OutlookCorn has quiet

gains, solid exportsEditor’s Note: Tim Emslie, CHS Hedging market

analyst, is sitting in this week for Phyllis Nystrom,the regular “Grain Outlook” columnist.

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing Jan. 24.

CORN — The corn marketshowed quiet gains this week,up 5.5 cents for the nearbyMarch contract and up just 0.25on the December contract.

Exports had a solid week at693,000 metric tons, and dailysales announcements that willbe reflected in the weekly totalnext week showed sales toJapan, Spain and Egypt. Rainsin Argentina over the previousweekend stabilized the cropthere. Ukraine is seeing increas-ing political unrest that some arewatching for any potential disruption in the exportprogram. Weekly ethanol production made a bigrebound this week to 905,000 barrels per day, up37,000 per day.

The National Grain and Feed Association and theNorth American Export Grain Association issued a jointstatement asking Syngenta to stop selling corn seedvarieties that lack approval for export to China. Thereare two traits at issue — one was responsible for theChinese rejections in the current marketing year andthe other is being launched commercially this year.

There is some talk about when China might considerapproval of new biotech traits. Policy meetings of therequisite committee of the Chinese ag ministry arescheduled in late-March and again in June, and U.S. offi-cials are pushing hard for Chinese approval of the traits.

Livestock AnglesCattle launch

fireworks so farWell it should be said that January in the livestock

markets was nothing more than an incredible fire-works show, particularly in the cattle market.

New all-time prices paid for cattle, feeder cattleand beef at the wholesale level. This all happeningwhile hog prices spun around like a pinwheel goingnowhere and remaining nearsteady as the month nears itsend.

Granted all the fireworks werein the cattle market over the pastfew months and these fireworkswill likely continue. However, thedirection of cattle prices maychange during the followingmonths. Like similar commoditymarkets in recent years, the cat-tle market has reached a pinnaclein prices that will undoubtedlyaffect the demand for beef in thefuture.

This will force the packers to be more frugal in theacquisition of live inventory to try to maintain theirmargins. Demand is now more than likely going toaffect the price of cattle rather than supply despitethe fact that cattle numbers will remain smallerthan last year. The disparity of beef to all other pro-tein sources is bound to hurt the demand and withthat the beef cutouts will more than likely move backinto line with these alternate sources, mainly chickenand pork.

On Jan. 24, the U.S. Department of Agriculturereleased a monthly Cattle-on-Feed report as of Jan.1. The results are: on-feed, 95 percent; placements,101 percent; and marketed 99 percent.

The report was seen as slightly negative as place-

FEB ’13 MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC JAN ’14

EMSLIE, from pg. 18The Chicago Mercantile Exchange is

considering adjusting its daily price limitsperiodically based on underlying pricestwice per year. The new limits would berounded to 6 percent of the recent underly-ing prices. For example, $4.50 corn wouldgenerate a 27-cent limit. This changewould require regulatory approval.

Live cattle futures set a record highon Thursday this week fueled byrecord high beef prices. It will be inter-esting to see how retail reacts to thehigher beef prices as this week’swholesale prices roll through the sys-tem. The Cattle-on-Feed report on Fri-day was negative for cattle prices sinceit showed more on-feed than expectedand fewer marketed. On the flip side,that’s a positive for corn demand.

OUTLOOK: On the charts, theMarch contract has essentially tradedsideways since its recovery from con-tract lows after the January cropreports. The March-to-May spread hasfirmed roughly two cents from where itwas prior to the January report whichindicates support for the market froma cash perspective.

Funds have trimmed their net-shortposition, but remain heavily short inthe absence of any technical momen-tum to the upside. The key resistancepoint for the March contract is theDecember high of $4.40 3/4.

SOYBEANS — Good rains fell inSouth America over what was a longweekend in the United States, sendingthe soybean market down sharply onthe first trading day of the week.

March soybeans traded mostly side-ways over the last three days of theweek to finish down 31.75 cents for the

week.Rumors that interest

in canceling U.S. book-ings in favor Brazilian origin picked upas prices declined. Official export salesdata continued to show strongincreases this week. Weekly exportsales for the week ending Jan. 16 were703,000 mt, putting total commit-ments at 104 percent of the U.S.Department of Agriculture’sprojected total for the year.

In this week’s break-down by country,there was a cancel-lation in theunknown cate-gory of 302,000mt and anincrease of296,000 mt forChina. TheChinese NewYear-GoldenWeek celebra-tion begins nextweek.

Argentina backedaway from its cur-rency interventionefforts this week due to lowforeign currency reserves, allow-ing its peso to decline against the dol-lar by 11 percent on Thursday. Theunderlying weak economy and highinflation finally reached the pointwhere intervention — buying pesoswith dollars to support the value of thepeso — couldn’t continue. That bringsthe official exchange rate closer to theblack market rate which opened thedoor for the government to relax someof its currency controls.

It’s hoped that the relaxation of the

currency controls willfunnel more dollars intothe country’s foreign

currency reserves through officialchannels instead of leaving the coun-try. Examples of the currency controlsbeing relaxed are a lower tax on dollarpurchases from outside the countryand fewer controls on foreign currencypurchases for travel abroad.

While the weaker peso mightmake exporters more com-

petitive, it will result inhigher inflation which

is running about 30percent per yearunofficially. It’sthat inflationthat is incen-tivizing theArgentinefarmer to storebeans. Inessence, hold-ing soybeans is

a way of holdingdollars rather

than pesos. In thelong run, a further

devaluation of thepeso and structural

reform that gets the economyon solid footing will make the

Argentine farmer more competitive.However, in the meantime the

weaker currency just means moreinflation and more incentive to holdsoybeans rather than Argentine pesos.The Brazilian real has also been weak,which with the greater overall stabil-ity in the economy makes Brazilianfarmers more competitive in worldmarkets.

OUTLOOK: The break toward wet-ter weather in South America sentthe March contract down to lows seenin early January, defining support atabout $12.70. Resistance is at theJanuary high near $13.30.

Tim’s tidbits: China reported fourthquarter Gross Domestic Product at 7.7percent year-on-year the beginning of theweek, just slightly ahead of expectations.It appears that the headline GDP num-ber has a good chance to remain fairlystable heading into early 2014 since adownturn last year gives a favorablebase for year-on-year comparisons. How-ever, we expect the tighter credit condi-tions to continue into 2014 which willput a damper on economic performance.

Adding to the weaker outlook was theflash manufacturing PMI number fromHSBC/Markit that showed a readingbelow the expansion-contraction line forthe first time in six months. The nervous-ness over the Chinese economy combinedwith the idea that the Fed could makeanother move to tighten at the JanuaryFOMC meeting next week made for arough week for emerging economies. TheS&P 500 was down 1 percent for the week.

The wheat market stabilized a bitthis week with an officially mixedweek. Minneapolis was down 4.75cents, Kansas City was up 4 cents andChicago was up 1.75 cents. There issome concern about the cold weatherthis week although most wheat is stillin dormancy. Weekly export sales werea bit improved at 421,000 mt.

Rains fall in South America, as does bean market

WACHTLER, from pg. 18“noise” that seems to always developduring more volatile times of the year.

Farmers feel the impact of the USDAprojections to their bottom line, and it isnot always welcomed or agreed with.How-ever, the USDA does provide a frameworkfor the markets and the widely used datashould be the foundation to start any plan.The range of corn price expected for the2013-14 crop based on the last report is$4.10 to $4.70 per bushel. The range ofexpected soybean price for the same mar-keting year is $11.75 to $13.25.

Objectively, it makes sense that youshould focus your sales starting from themiddle to the upper-end of this range. Ifyou have a strong market bias that themarket will move either direction, you

may choose to start to sell at the lower-or upper-end of the range, accordingly.

Each market is local to some degree.Keep in mind the growing conditionsthe crops in your area experiencedlast year. Growing conditions willaffect the local supply and demand,and should be a factor when evaluat-ing your price to start your sales.Then use this quiet time in the mar-kets, and the information at hand, tostart a plan if you haven’t already.

Focus on mid-, upper rangeTEALE, from pg. 18ments were higher than estimates andthe marketed number was lower thananticipated. With prices at all-time highsin live cattle, feeder cattle and beefcutouts, this report would suggest thatthese prices are vulnerable to some sort ofcorrection. Therefore producers should beaware of the current market conditionsand protect inventories as necessary.

In comparison to the cattle market,the hog market has been ratherbenign. Most of January has seen littleoverall price movement in the hog mar-ket. The cash trade has been range-bound for the most part until recentlywhich shows signs of strengthening.

The porcine epidemic diarrhea virus

has caused concern in the hog industryand has increased the interest that hognumbers are likely to decline in thefuture as a result of the disease. Thishas supported prices, especially in theearly spring and summer months.

The fact that from a seasonal basis,the hog market usually begins tostrengthen at this time of the year hasalso brought some interest into themarket. The only caveat at this junc-ture is the fact that the deferredfutures contract already has built inlarge premiums in anticipation of afirming market. Producers areexpected to stay aware of these premi-ums and use them to their advantagewhen opportunity presents itself. ❖

This column was written for the market-ing week ending Jan. 24.

December milk production in the top 23dairy producing states totaled 15.7 bil-lion pounds, according to preliminarydata in the U.S. Department of Agricul-ture’s latest Milk Production reportissued this week, up slightly from Decem-ber 2012.

The 50-state output, at 16.8 billionpounds, was down fractionally from ayear ago. Revisions subtracted 32 millionpounds from the original Novemberestimate, now put at 14.9 billion, upjust 0.1 percent from November2012. Total 2013 milk output in theUnited States hit 201.19 billion pounds, up from200.32 billion in 2012.

December 2013 cow numbers totaled 8.5 millionhead, up 1,000 head from November and 6,000 headabove a year ago. Output per cow averaged 1,846pounds, down 1 pound.

California output in December was up 1.6 percentfrom a year ago, thanks to a 30-pound gain per cowand 1,000 more cows in the herd. Wisconsin wasdown 1.9 percent, on a 35-pound loss per cow as thecold weather took its toll. Cow numbers were

unchanged. Idaho was down 1.1 percent,despite a 30-pound gain per cow but cownumbers were down 15,000 head. NewYork was up 1.6 percent on a 20-poundgain per cow and 3,000 more cows. Penn-sylvania was off 0.7 percent, due to 4,000fewer cows. Output per cow wasunchanged. Minnesota was down 2.5 per-cent on a 25-pound loss per cow and 5,000fewer cows.

Michigan was up 0.8 percent, on 4,000more cows, though output per cow was off5 pounds. New Mexico was down 1.8 per-

cent, due to a 50-pound loss per cow.Cow numbers were up 2,000. Texasinched 0.2 percent lower, thanks to a

35-pound loss per cow. Cow numberswere up 7,000 head. Washington state was up 1 per-cent on a 5-pound gain for cow and 2,000 more cowsin the herd.

Dairy product prices saw healthy gains at thisweek’s Global Dairy Trade auction as the weightedaverage for all products jumped 1.4 percent, led by a10.8 percent surge in butter and 10.4 percentincrease in Cheddar cheese. The only decline wasskim milk powder, off 0.5 percent, while whole milk

powder inched up 0.1 percent.The average butter price equated to about $2.1124

per pound, up from $1.9155 in the Jan. 7 event($2.0609/lb. on 80 percent, up from $1.8688). TheCheddar average was $2.3282/lb., up from $2.1119;skim milk powder, $2.1311, up from $2.1264, and thewhole milk powder average was $2.2419/lb., up from$2.2380 in the last event.

The bulls found plenty to feed on this week and thegains at the GDT helped fuel prices in Chicagowhere the Cheddar blocks closed Friday morning ata new record high of $2.31/lb., up 8 cents on the holi-day-shortened week, 66.5 cents above a year ago, andthe highest level since May 2008. The barrels closedat a record $2.2750, up 7.25 cents on the week and70.25 cents above a year ago.

Two cars of block traded hands Friday, the firstsale of block since Dec. 20, and then it was only onecar. Three cars of barrel were sold last week, two theweek before that, and none this week. The laggingNational Dairy Products Sales report shows the U.S.average block price at $2.0722/lb., up 6.8 cents, andbarrels at $2.0424, up 9.3 cents.

Cheese production levels continued to be mixed theweek of Jan. 13, according to the USDA’s Dairy Mar-ket News. Increased milk supplies were available forcheese makers. Sharply higher prices enticed someprocessors to raise production, while others worriedabout higher priced inventories.

Super Bowl orders are often the last big push forretail cheese demand. Good export orders for thefirst quarter of 2014 are also helping to clear inven-tories.

■

Many butter manufacturers are busy filling cur-rent export orders behind good sales, according tothe DMN. There are concerns about the increasedbutter prices possibly reducing export interest as theU.S. price converges to the GDT and Oceania prices.

The market tone is firm with inventories beingtighter than normal for this time of year. Moderateamounts of cream continue to find its way to thechurns resulting in higher production levels. Domes-tic demand is good in the Northeast and Central,while above expectations in the West.

■

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed at $2.05,down 4.75 cents on the week. Extra Grade, in its lastweek of trading, closed at $2.09, up a penny. Twentyfive loads of Grade A sold this week. The NDPSRaverage was $2.0362/lb., up 2 cents, and dry wheyaveraged 59.5 cents/lb., up 0.2 cent.

Nonfat dry milk prices are unchanged to higher ina firm market, according to the DMN. Productionlevels are mostly steady to higher. Domestic demandtrends are mixed and dry whey prices moved higherthis week across the nation.

■

Meanwhile, the USDA announced the Februaryfederal order Class I base milk price this week at arecord high $22.02 per hundredweight, up 54 centsfrom January, $3.81 above February 2013, the high-est since September 2011’s $21.78, and equates toabout $1.89 per gallon.

The Agricultural Marketing Service-surveyed but-ter price used in calculating the Class I value aver-aged $1.5939/lb., down 4.7 cents from January. Non-fat dry milk averaged $2.0270/lb., up 8.5 cents;cheese averaged $2.0308/lb.; up 17.3 cents; and drywhey averaged 59.39 cents/lb., up 2.7 cents.

December butter stocks slipped to 111.45 millionpounds, down 10.2 million pounds or 8 percent belowNovember and were down 41.6 million pounds or 27percent below December 2012, according to theUSDA’s preliminary data in this week’s Cold Storagereport.

MIELKE, from pg. 21Speaking of cold, Old

Man Winter made surehe’s not forgotten this week, bearing down again onthe Midwest and the Northeast in particular withsnow and bitter cold that may be around for sometime. Reports of thousands of canceled flights anddiscussions about “Polar Vortex” were commonplace.

Dairy farmers know all too well the stress thatcomes with that kind of weather. Pre-storm warn-ings generally spur fluid milk sales as residentshunker down at home.

■

Cooperatives Working Together accepted 13requests for export assistance this week to sell 2.03million pounds of cheese and 2.46 million pounds ofbutter to customers in Asia, Europe, the MiddleEast and North Africa. Product will be deliveredthrough June and raised the CWT’s 2014 cheeseexports to 2.74 million pounds, plus 2.99 millionpounds of butter to seven countries.

Milk production across the United States is trend-ing higher along the seasonal trend, according tothe USDA’s weekly update. Bottling demand hasimproved.

Milk production in Europe is increasing at accel-

erated levels, due to good milk pricesand margins, mild weather and

expanding herds in some countries.Milk production totals for Novembershowed year-over-year increases of 3.8percent for France and 19.7 percentfor Ireland. For December, the UnitedKingdom realized a 10.7-percentincrease. Producers in some countriesare going over quota levels and willingto pay the levy rather than reduceproduction.

Eastern European milk output isalso expanding with estimatedincreases of 2 to 3 percent. Weather isalso mild and supportive of produc-tion. Russian demand for butter, ched-dar cheese and whey is providingexport opportunities for Eastern man-ufacturers and Russia has begun tolift its ban on Lithuanian dairy products.

Australian milk production has begun to decline atan accelerated pace as Victoria, South Australia andportions of New South Wales are in the midst of anintense heat wave. Temperatures well over 100degrees Fahrenheit are lowering cow comfort andimpacting production.

New Zealand continues to show projected increasesof 6 percent or better over last year’s drought-short-ened production season. The focus continues to be onpowder production with some producers seeing thecombined margins for butter and skim milk powderequaling or surpassing those of whole milk powder.

■

Meanwhile, momentum is buildingtoward a federal order in California.Members of the California DairyTask Force met this week in Sacra-mento in an attempt to revitalize thedairy industry in the Golden State.

The task force is an informal groupof dairy producers, cooperatives andprocessors established by CaliforniaSecretary of Agriculture Karen Ross.Several issues were discussed includ-ing the quota system, investmentdecisions, risk management andalternative pricing to the Class 4markets.

“From the time the task forcestarted until now, we have seen adramatic increase in interest to gotoward a California federal order,”Rob Vandenheuvel, general managerof the Milk Producers Council, told

DairyLine.Dairymen are still waiting on details regarding a

federal order. The cooperatives have been workingdiligently in putting together a draft order to be sub-mitted to the USDA. The federal order process islengthy and there was some discussion by task forcemembers about what can be done in the interim.Text and audio of the complete interview is availableat www.dairyline.com.

After a brief temperature respite, we headed backinto the deep freeze.

A cold snap.That’s what we used to call it when the bottom

dropped out of the thermometer.But when entire cable channels now are devoted to

the weather, when snow storms now are adornedwith names, well, that term apparently isn’t sexyenough anymore.

The catch words this winter are polar and vortex.But a rose by any other name smells just as sweet.And by whatever name you choose, it is brutally

cold out there once again.I’m Minnesotan, born and raised. So’s my wife.The reason we returned to Minnesota after a brief

stint in comparatively balmy Kansas nearly 40 yearsago was that we both missed Minnesota winters.

How much did we miss them?We used the paltry amount of vacation we had accrued

at our jobs in the Sunflower State to return to Minnesotato witness firsthand the meteorological carnage left inthe wake of the Super Bowl Blizzard of 1975.

For those too young to remember, it was one hell ofa snowstorm. Snow began on Friday, Jan. 10, andcontinued unabated for the next two days, includingSuper Bowl Sunday.

As much as 27 inches of snow fell in some parts ofMinnesota and the Upper Midwest, accompanied bysustained winds of 30 to 50 mph, gusts up to 90 mphand sub-zero temperatures.

In the blizzard’s wake, 58 people and tens of thou-sands of farm animals died. Wildlife populations suf-fered similar catastrophic losses. Snow drifts as highas 20 feet stranded motorists in their cars for daysawaiting rescue in the wake of the storm that wascharacterized as an inland hurricane because of itsrecord-low barometric pressure.

We felt we had missed out on all of the excitement,so when the opportunity to return to live and workin Minnesota with its invigorating winter seasonpresented itself, we didn’t hesitate.

But now, I’m a little older, a lot wiser, and on morn-ings when the thermometer reads teens-below-zerothrough the frosty window, I wonder: What were wethinking?

But when I start feeling a little sorry, I remindmyself of just how easy we now have it compared to

people who enduredwinters long past.Certainly, winterwas an exception-ally tough time for homesteaders in the 1800s, fre-quently a matter of life and death as they huddled intheir sod huts when blizzards swept across theuntamed prairie.

But as recently as the 1930s and even the ’40s,when an arctic blast descended on the Midwest, lifestill wasn’t all that easy.

Prior to rural electrification, if you were a countrydweller, there was firewood or perhaps a tub of corn-cobs to stockpile if you were going to stay warm andthen only by hovering in the immediate vicinity ofthe stove.

A hot bath meant hand-pumping water and thenheating it on a stove. A trip to the bathroom, likelyas not, was a sprint through the snow to anunheated outhouse. That or a chamber pot.

City folks may have had it a bit easier, what withindoor plumbing. But they still probably had dustycoal to shovel into a furnace and then tend to if theywere going to stay warm.

Regardless of where you lived,just as recently as 20 years ago,a car that started without fail onsub-zero days was something tobrag about.

Today, we have efficient gas-fired furnaces that distributewonderful warmth evenlythrough our homes with thetouch of a thermostat, cars thatreliably roar to life with the turnof a key.

When we do venture into theelements, we are protected byhigh-tech outdoor wear.

So comparatively speaking,we’re living in the lap of luxury

when yet another one of these pesky polar vortexesplunges us into arctic conditions.

This latest round of bone-chilling cold might inspireeven the hardiest Minnesotan to complain, but in theend, we all know there’s not just a whole lot that canbe done except bundle up and deal with it.

The good news is that spring is just 48 days away.The bad news is that in Minnesota, we all know

that really doesn’t mean too much at all.John Cross is a Mankato (Minn.) Free Press staff

Editor’s note: This “Back Porch” columnwas originally published in March 2009.

In kindergarten my very favorite boardbook was “The Monster at the End of thisBook” starring lovable, furry old Groverfrom Sesame Street (Jon Stone, author;Michael Smollin, illustrator).

From the get-go Grover is stressed. Hisfirst words are, “On the cover, what didthat say? Did that say there will be a Mon-ster at the end of this book??? IT DID! Oh,I am so scared of Monsters!!”

Sickened at the thought of coming face toface with a monster, he begs and pleads the readersto stop turning pages. Of course, I always did, and bythe book’s end, was delighted to see Grover’s aston-ishment when he discovered that he was the monsterat the end of the book! Grover was so embarrassedthat he missed the obvious.

I’ve been guilty of missing the obvious on morethan one occasion. When then-First Lady of theUnited States Hillary Rodham Clinton released herbook, “It Takes a Village: And Other Lessons Chil-dren Teach Us,” I missed the obvious. Immediatelydismissing the title of the book with the policies ofher party that I didn’t respect, I missed the truththat raising kids takes families and communities —or in Hillary’s words — a village.

Wess Stafford, president and CEO of CompassionInternational, and author of the must-read book, “TooSmall to Ignore — Why Children Are the Next BigThing,” points out the difference in lifestyles betweenAmerica’s homesteaders and today’s citizens.

“Homesteaders once headed west in covered wag-ons, six or eight or 10 families in a cluster, each sup-porting one another, looking out for one another,defending one another against outside threats. Intime they settled into towns, and the spirit of com-munity that had helped them survive the perils ofthe wagon trail carried on as the backbone of society... for a while.”

Today we’ve become fiercely independent. All in all,front porches are more for decoration than for sittingon to talk with the neighbors and sip lemonade.Lengthy, get-beneath-the-surface conversations havediminished from face-to-face conversations, to tele-phone calls, and poorly punctuated text messages.

According to a new study from the Pew Internetand American Life Project today’s families are“building new kinds of connectedness built aroundcell phones and the internet.” Sounds cool ... a bitedgy ... certainly 21st century.

But is this a connectedness that will have the samestrength and backbone in its relationships as thegeneration of the wagon trains? For those of you whothink the answer is ditching technology, hold yourhorses. Computers and cell phones are here to stay,and quite frankly, I’m thankful for it. I’d be unem-ployed without mine and from health care to educa-tion to communication and more its benefits cer-tainly outweigh the damage done.

At a conference that I attended in Nashville lastmonth, a pastor was describing where he lived inKentucky. “I live right in the middle of ‘no’ and

‘where’,” he said.Identifying myself as a Minnesotan I

replied, “I’m familiar with that kind ofrural living, but in thenorthland we refer it toas living in theboonies.”

The boonies: it’s aplace where citydwellers go to slowdown and catch theirbreath. It’s a place andpace of life that holdsutopia and connected-

ness for some, and for others, notso much. For although the countyroads may host fewer rats than thefreeway, many living between “no” and “where” gotcaged in the rat race, too. And the repercussion ofthat race, for there are always consequences to ourchoices, is disconnectedness between the genera-tions, our neighbors and others within our “village”— a loss of multi-layered love, wise instruction androle modeling.

The faster the pace of life, the more fierce the inde-pendence and, Stafford believes, the more wealthy acountry’s citizens, “the more isolated and lonely itspeople become.” And it’s the very old and the veryyoung who are the village’s biggest losers. He writes,“we need community far more than we are willing toadmit.”

Driving in a small town that I wasn’t familiar withI watched a man sprint across a snow-filled parkinglot, slip on an ice patch, and catch himself on the

building’s front door handle. By theurgency of his run I wondered,“Where’s the fire?” As I passed what Ioriginally thought was a storagebuilding, I discovered that the build-ing he ran into was actually the placewhere they stored the city’s ambu-lance. Within minutes an ambulance,fire truck and two police cars raceddown the small town’s main street.

When emergencies hit, fierce inde-pendence converts into a fierce real-ization that we really do need oneanother. May the joy of those wholive on Sesame Street, the spirit of

community that was the backbone of homesteadersand the connectedness between the generationsthat’s always been the heart of small town living,never depart from the village that you call home.

It snowed overnight.You saw it first thing this morn-

ing, and you grumbled. You knowhow much extra work that stuff is:shoveling, brushing, scraping.Everything needs more time towarm up and get going — includ-ing you.

Sure, snow is pretty … for about10 minutes. Or, as you’ll see in“The Quiet Season” by Jerry Apps,it’s beautiful for a lifetime.

Born to a pair of farmers in the“midst of the Great Depression,”Jerry Apps says that, save but forhis time spent in the Army, he’snever missed a Wisconsin winter. For folks in snowyclimes, winter reminds us that “we are not incharge,” he says.

The winters of 1939-47 were particularly memo-rable for Apps. Electricity hadn’t yet come to hisparents’ farm — it didn’t arrive until the spring of’47 — which meant that milking cows and fetchingwater was all done by hand. Dinner was made on awood-burning stove that served both to prepare foodand to heat the kitchen. Homework for the threeApps boys was done by kerosene lamp.

Apps remembers how his father prepared for win-ter by “making wood” from dead oak trees and haul-ing it closer to the house. The family butchered ahog every fall because they “needed the meat if wewere going to survive the long winter.” Produce fromgarden and field was laid in for the season.

Even when there was a snowstorm, the three Apps

boys had to walk to school andthey tried not to miss a day.The season’s first snow wasespecially exciting; says Apps,he and his classmates were“running around like we werepossessed by first snowfalldemons.” As white stuff piledup, his teacher in the one-roomschoolhouse tapped one of thebigger children to shovel apath to the outhouses.

Apps recalls playing in thesnow, and wading throughwaist-high drifts. He remem-bers hunting in it, traveling bycar and on foot through it, and hoping that Santacould handle it. He recalls when neighbors took careof neighbors and dances were held in someone’s din-ing room. And he remembers the perfection of wintersome 70 years ago, its loveliness and its magic.

I’m not sure where it came from, but reading “The

Quiet Season” gave me adefinite sense of pulse-slowing calmness.

Maybe that’s becauseApps — who often men-tions his love of a goodstory — is himself theteller of tales that circlearound community in aTV-less, packed-calendar-free, horse-drawn buthard-working world thatfewer and fewer folksremember. They’re toldwith awe, gratitude,grace, more than a little

knee-slapping — and lots of lovefor the way things were, therotation of the seasons, thebounty of the land, and the per-severance of its people.

This is the kind of book thatelders will read and read again.It’s a book you’ll want to give toa whiner. It’s one you’ll be gladto curl up with because, thoughit’s mostly about winter, “TheQuiet Season” will leave youwarm.

Look for the reviewed book at abookstore or a library near you.You may also find the book at

online book retailers.The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Terri has

been reading since she was 3 years old and never goesanywhere without a book. She lives in Wisconsin withthree dogs and 10,000 books. ❖

Only a mailbox stuffed with gardenseed and plant catalogs can make meeager to venture out to get the mail inthis record-setting cold weather.

Winter is a gardener’s dream time. Acozy fire, a cup of coffee and a bunch ofnew garden catalogs to explore makefor a perfect afternoon. Now is the timeto think about and plan for thisspring’s dream garden.

Childhood memories surface when Ireminisce about my mother’s love ofgardening. She made extensive ordersfrom the seed catalogs and alwaysmarked the pictures of what she hadordered so she would know what toanticipate getting in the mail.

One year she grew — or rather triedto grow — both cotton and peanuts.The seeds were sown and although theplants didn’t mature because of ourshort growing season, we kidsdelighted in looking at the tips of thecotton plant where the bolls would bedeveloping and hoeing up the peanutroots to get a peak at the developinglegumes.

Gurney’s and Jung’s were two majorsources to order from back then andthose two companies are still goingstrong today. Gurney’s used to have achildren’s package of vegetable seedsthat would be included in any order foronly a penny more. I also recall chil-dren going door to door in the springselling seeds to earn a little money.

The plethora of catalogs availablenow is astounding. The slick pictures

and enticingdescriptions makesone want to orderone of everything. Itis fine in a veg-etable garden to have lots of differentvarieties but to achieve harmony in aflower garden it is best to have groupsof the same plant — at least three tofive or more of the same kind plantedtogether. Resist getting one of five dif-ferent flowering plants and get five ormore identical plants. The reward willbe a unified, harmonious garden thatmakes a statement.

Just for fun every year, I order a veg-etable and a flower that we haven’t hadin the garden before.

Last year the vegetable wasedamame (edible soybeans). They weredelicious with a nutty flavor and can beused like peas or lima beans. I will defi-nitely plant them again.

Pulmonaria was my choice for a flow-ering plant. It is a shade lover that

blends well with hostas and ferns. Itscommon name is Lungwort. With aname like that a plant needs someredeeming attributes. It shows off

pretty pink flowers that turn bluewith time. The leaves, however, arewhat are most prized. The plant getsabout 12 inches tall and 16 incheswide with dark green sword-likeleaves speckled with silver spots. Pul-monaria brightens shade gardens andtolerates dry conditions.

If you have access to the internet,just a few clicks can get you a free cat-alog sent your way, or even immediateseed shopping online. Gurney’s web-site is www.gurneys.com and Jung’s isat www.jungseed.com. You can also doa Google search for “seed catalogs” forhundreds of other sources. Get readyto spend many pleasant hours plan-ning your dream garden.

Do you have a Back Roads story suggestion? E-mail [email protected] or write to Editor, The Land, P.O. Box 3169, Mankato, MN 56002.

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondents Tim King (story) and Jan King (photo)Top off your coffee?The first things you see when you walk into Hats Off Coffee, on the

east end of Central Avenue in Long Prairie, Minn., are hats. Lotsof them.

There are homburgs for men and cloches for women. There arerespectable fedoras and adventuresome boonie hats, derbies, summerstraw hats for men and women, pork pies, safari and trail hats,women’s sun hats, Greek fisher-man hats, French berets, andfloppy hats with big flowers.

“We even have top hats,” pro-prietor Daiv Freeman said,pointing to two elegant itemshigh up on a back shelf. “Whatwould you like to drink?”

Freeman can serve you alatte, cappuccino, espresso, hotchocolate, Italian soda or anynumber of coffee shop drinks.You can sip your drink in peace,browse his natural historybookstore, or you can ask himabout hats.

“My best seller is the IndianaJones hat. You can crush it and itsprings back into shape,” he said,demonstrating the crushing andspringing back qualities of thisfamous adventurer’s hat. “It’s mybest selling hat. I ship it all over.”

The standard Indiana Joneshat is made from wool felt.There is a more expensive ver-sion made from rabbit fur felt. It’s not crushable.

Indiana Jones didn’t wear a pith helmet, but other adventuresometypes did. Freeman sells quite a few but they go to working stiffs whospend long hot days under the sun.

“The brim is nice and wide all around and the material is woven soheat can escape through the top,” he points out. “The inside is a littlelike a hard hat so it also provides some head protection on the job.”

Freeman will point out the merits of a pith helmet versus a baseballcap with a seed company logo on it and he’ll tell you the differencebetween a fedora and a homberg.

A fedora, whether made from felt, straw or any other material, has adeep valley down the middle, two indentations on either side in thefront and a turned down brim. The homberg has the valley but it doesnot have the indentations or the turned down front brim. On manyhombergs, such as the Godfather Homberg, the sides are turned slightlyup. Both styles often sport bright little feathers in their hatbands.

The Hats Off Coffee hat business is in a former bank building.“If you don’t see what you want I’ve got more in the vault,” Freeman said.You can learn more about the coffee and hat shop at
