VINTAGE AIRCRAFT TAKE TO THE SKIES AT WORLD WAR II AIRSHOW IN GRANITE FALLS, MINN. — STORY ON PAGE 6

I just returned from a wonderful familyadventure to the Badlands and BlackHills of South Dakota, which culminatedwith a family wedding in Denver.

We loaded up the minivan with tents,sleeping bags, cooking gear, tarps, dufflebags, backpacks, coolers, hiking boots,bathing suits, charcoal and a little Webergrill which, thanks to my husband, Dan,was the source of delicious dinners.

Our trip showed us an American experi-ence we will never forget.

The corn and soybean fields of Min-nesota gave way to the cattle and graz-ing land of South Dakota.

We camped in Badlands National Park. Ourevening hike gave us amazing views of a terrain thatlooked like the moon with its rocky crags and peaks.

We settled into our tent only to be awoken aroundmidnight to a spectacular thunderstorm that lastedinto the early morning hours. The kids slept on. I gota glimpse of lightning crack over the Badlands asDan climbed out to better secure the rain fly.

The sun shone in the AM and we headed to acampground just outside of Custer State Park. Wemet many families camping and seeing the sites.

We visited Mount Rushmore, where we watchedNative American hoop dancers. We saw four of ourgreatest presidents carved into stone: George Wash-ington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt andAbraham Lincoln. The memorial honors the found-ing, expansion, preservation and unification of theUnited States.

Next we headed to the Crazy Horse Memorial,where Korczak Ziolkowski began his carving ofLakota leader Crazy Horse in 1947. We learned thatcarving mountains really means blowing up the rockwith dynamite. Ziolkowski had 10 kids, and the fiveboys worked alongside their father on the mountain.To this day, his family carries on his life’s work.

The memorial includes The Indian Museum ofNorth America, where we marveled at artifacts thatshowed how America’s original people hunted,cooked, dressed, lived and worshipped. The commit-ment of a white man to preserve this culture isinspiring.

In Custer State Park, we hiked up Little Devil’sTower. The Black Hills spread out all around us.During the climb, my daughter pointed out a vein of

rose quartz. As she grabbed it, she said,“You are lucky you are here and won’t everbe mined.”

Thank you Teddy Roosevelt for teachingus to preserve our treasures for futuregenerations.

We drove the Wildlife Loop at Custer,where we saw herds of bison — bulls head-butting, cows nursing calves and allmunching on prarie grass. We imaginedwhat the land looked like to pioneers.

As we left Custer State Park for Denver,we were slowed by a bison herd crossingthe road. We ate a trucker’s breakfastand drove through cowboy country in

Wyoming. Pronghorns and cattle roamed.By 5 p.m., we arrived in Denver, where a Colorado

Rockies baseball game was letting out. Our driveended in a snarled traffic jam.

Bison, cowboys, presidents, chiefs, hot dogs,s’mores, camping, farms, ranches, baseball, cities,truck stops, mountains and fields of grain — is this agreat country or what?

LAND MINDS

By Marie Wood

OPINION

To the Editor: This refers to the letter to the editor “Farm groups’

buffer talk ‘silly,’ ‘hookey’” in The Land’s June 12issue.

The letter writer wrote that farmers are squealingthat there is too much government oversight and notenough government help.

When you run out of food, will you then squeal forthe farmer to put food on your table?

Will there be any farmers left on the farm to evenraise your food?

We do not make that much wealth on the farm thatwe can pass our farms on easily to the next genera-tion. The average age of farmers is the late ’50s.Dolores McClernon Tintah, Minn.

Letter: When you runout of food, will yousqueal for the farmer?

To the Editor:I hope I’ve not been

wrong all this timeabout Paul Harvey’stribute to the farmer.For me as a farmer I’vealways thought it’sabout everyone wholoves, respects, and usestheir talents for our giftof life.

Personally in recent weeks it’s abouta couple of black guys I had the gift oftalking to for a short time in life’stravels. One at a continental breakfastand the other at a church, both times afew years ago. They grew up in big citypoverty and when old enough to be ontheir own worked their way out. Atask we can’t comprehend and to nothave hatred or look at the Confederateflag or slavery with anger but as thepast and excitement for the sunrise.

I think it’s about my farmer cousinfrom Pine City who jumped from a per-

fectly good plane overNormandy so hopefullywe wouldn’t mess it upand I could write thisseveral years later.

As a farm wife youknow the work andpressures a farmerfaces and the overpow-ering demand timeplays. Four of the great

words — have to wait lunch — tell ofthe respect for the great value of oth-ers in our life. Those words about thewife are at the end of the day’s workand hunger, and says how importanther role is that all should stop whileshe does something as unimportant tothe farm as feeding visiting ladies.

Paul’s tribute fits everyone no matterwhat your walk in life is, if you fit theway of the farmer’s honor in the tribute.Lester RydeenMarine, Minn.

Letter: Harvey tributelauds farm wives’ role

To the Editor:Every farm woman

knows operating a familyfarm is complex, but tremendouslyrewarding. It is no secret that womenplay a huge role on farms. There are somany challenges facing families inagriculture, from financial decisionmaking on the farm to estate planning.

Annie’s Project is a nationwide pro-gram that strives to empower womento become improved business partnersthrough networks by managing andorganizing critical information. Thissix-week course aims to educatewomen in the areas of risk of produc-tion, financial, marketing, legal andhuman resources; every rural womanshould consider attending.

As a past participant, I can say Annie’sProject gave me the tools to start conver-sations with my family about what wedo on our farm. I was able to learn aboutseveral topics in short periods of time,which allowed me have a further under-

standing of what we do. Iam very proud of all the

participants in Annie’s Pro-ject for taking the time out of their verybusy lives to collaborate and sharewhat life is really like when you farm.There has not been a day that has goneby that I regret the time I put intoAnnie’s Project. It has given me thebaseline understanding of general farmproduction topics, something I feel isimportant to continue farming the landjust as my family has done for many,many generations.

If you’re a woman in agricultureand want a comfortable setting toexpand your knowledge base of thefarm, please consider attending anAnnie’s Project workshop. Course willtake place Tuesdays from July 28through September, from 12-3 p.m. inMankato, Minn. Registration is avail-able at agstar.com/anniesproject.Angela GuentzelMankato, Minn.

“I just read your column,” noted an Illi-nois critic of an early May piece that out-lined a proposed, multi-billion dollarmerger between the key players in theprepared foods sector.

“I have just one question,” the e-mailerwent on, “what makes you an expert inthe Sysco attempt to buy US Foods?”

Ah, blessed readers; they are heart-warming and hazardous, professionaland profane, loving and loathing. With-out them, I’m out of business; with them,I’m often hearing their business.Together, hand-in-hand and pen-in-hand, we march into the future oneword, one e-mail, and one week at atime.

Take a March e-mail from Lowell who managed tooffer me both warm compliments and cold chastise-ments in almost every sentence of a 250-word noteon a column that questioned the fairness of Amer-ica’s key ag policy initiative: federal crop insurance.“Your recent column on crop insurance describingthe upside-down nature of the federal crop insur-ance program only covered one aspect of the upside-down nature of this program,” Lowell wrote (I pre-sume) while upright. Fact is, “This insanity hastruly granted the wealthiest and largest the mostincome-enhancing competitive advantage ever oversmaller competitors.”

Hmm, Lowell sounds like an expert.

Then there’s Mike from Texas, a faithfulreplier to any mention of climate changein any manner in any column. A Februaryletter from him began, “The morons under(President Obama’s) control who came upwith the phrase ‘climate change’… haveneither studied history or read the Bible.There has been climate change ever sinceGod created the Earth.”

Thank you, Mike, for what sounds likean almost-expert observation on climatechange. One question though: where didyou get your info on the reading habits of

the Obama Administration?Similarly, Gerald from Iowa wanted to

know where I had gotten my informa-tion in February to impugn Senate Republicans, butnot Senate Democrats, for farm policy failures. “Bothsides loaded the current farm bill with ‘gifts’ butmore blame goes to (former U.S. Sen.) Tom (Harkinof Iowa) and the Dems than the GOP.”

“You know it, I know it,” Gerald went on, “BUT youdid not call them out. Yet you sure would have calledout the Senate GOP if they had written the bill. Let’sbe fair!!!”

Well, Gerald, you may know it but I do not know it.In fact, I’m having serious doubts about what I knowabout, well, ag biz mergers, climate change, and theBible.

Not all of 2015’s correspondents offered their lowopinions of my weekly opinions. Some — most, in

fact — were kind and complimentary like Karen whowrote in mid-April, “Wow. Just wow. Each essay ishard-hitting and well written and researched. Whenare you running for President?”

Probably when I become an expert in something,Karen. Thanks for the vote of confidence though.

Another e-mail, this one sent by Bob from Ohio,wasn’t as effusive but contained more insight. “Youseem to be sensible. Trouble is the populous, on or offthe farm, doesn’t have much interest in sensible.”

Richard, an e-mailer from either on or off the farmin central Illinois, is the sensible exception to theabove rule. “Just a follow-up to your most recent arti-cle: I use up many of my free articles a month onlinejust reading your column. How do you find suchinteresting material?”

No real secret, Richard. I use many of my free,online articles each month to read this and that.Nothing, mind you, that might require any realexpertise though.

Another recent e-mailer, Ken, who identifies him-self as someone with “over 40 years of federal serviceas a research scientist,” is equally levelheaded. “Youmust be correct in your assessments,” he writes,“because I am usually in full agreement with you.”

Finally, an expert! The Farm and Food File is published weekly

through the United States and Canada. Pastcolumns, events and contact information are postedat www.farmandfoodfile.com. ❖

GRANITE FALLS, Minn. — Thepopulation of Minnesota’s westernprairie community of Granite Fallsswelled from 2,760 to nearly 15,000on June 20. The extra visitors camefor the Ray Fagen Memorial Airshowand witnessed “History in the Sky” asWorld War II-era planes took to theskies.

Hosted by the Fagen Fighters WWIIMuseum and Ron Fagen and associ-ates at the Lenzen-Roe Memorial Air-port, the air show was a tribute to allmilitary veterans and a special trib-ute to Ray Fagen, a WWII infantryman who stormed the beaches of Nor-mandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944.

“This is an absolutely tremendousturnout,” Ron Fagen said. “I’m told atleast 12,000 people with hundredsshuttled from the Casino to the airfield because we simply ran out ofroom. We’ve got aviators from acrossthe country who flew in with their spe-cial aircraft. The weather is about per-fect. We are indeed blessed.”

Fagen, CEO of Fagen Inc., anindustry leader in the con-struction of ethanol plants, isRay’s son. He noted that everyplane in the air show was pow-ered with ethanol fuels.

World War II aircraft includeda B-25J Billy Mitchell twinengine bomber called LadyLuck, a B-25J called Maid in theShade from the Arizona Wing ofthe Commemorative Air Force,and a PV-2 Harpoon Navybomber. The fighter groupincluded three P-51 Mustangs, aBell P-63 Kingcobra, two FM-2Wildcats, an F4U Corsair and aJapanese Zero. To demonstratethe Pacific Theater, the Japan-ese Zero engaged in a dogfightwith the Corsair and lost.

The Japanese Zero is afighter plane with amazingagility in the skies. WarrenPietsch piloted the Zero at theair show, but before the showPete Blood was sittingbeneath the wing and sharedthis bit of history on the Zero.

“They built them very lightweight,”said Blood. “They skipped on the self-sealing fuel tanks and armor plate.Thatlightened the plane giving it more agility.But just get hit by a couple of rounds andthe Zero exploded in a fireball.”

Like many of these World War II

birds, this particular Zero was a wreckwhen Pietsch and his two partnersfound it. Pietsch operates Pietsch Air-craft Restoration and Repair and co-founded the Minot Aero Center inNorth Dakota. This Zero, however,along with the F4U Corsair, is part ofthe Texas Flying Legends group.

Blood said maintenance is impor-tant on these older birds.

“After a show we pop the tins off theengine, check for oil leaks, etc.,” hesaid. “It’s still a high intensity fightereven though it’s now 70 years sincethat era of aerial dog fighting.”Flying legends

A B-17, known as the Flying Fortress,took to the skies. The legendary WWIIbomber was there courtesy of the

Experimental Aircraft Associa-tion of Oshkosh, Wis.

“Our B-17, named Alu-minum Overcast, was built in1945,” said pilot Sean Elliott.“A total of 12,731 B-17s werebuilt. There’s about 13 leftworldwide that are airworthy;only eight in the UnitedStates that still fly.”

The B-17 handles like a45,000-pound Piper J-3 Cub, asimple light aircraft builtbetween 1937 and 1947, knownfor its yellow color, Elliott said.

“It’s got great handling quali-ties but it’s all old school,” hesaid. “There are no hydraulicboosts; everything is musclepower and upper bodystrength. There’s no humanfactor in terms of how the con-trols are laid out. Because it’san old school machine the oper-ator has to really know veryprecisely how to fly it well.”

With 8,500 hours of pilottime, Elliott has been flyingsince 1983, soloing on his 16th

birthday. Lucky for him, this old birdis extremely reliable and capable.

“In wartime, the B-17 grossed out atalmost 70,000 pounds with bomb loadand extra fuel,” Elliot said. “The warbirds had two exterior fuels tankscalled Tokyo Tanks which would

Visitors to the Ray Fagen Memorial Air-show crowd around a B-17 FlyingFortress called Aluminum Overcast. Anestimated 12,000 people flocked toGranite Falls, Minn., on June 20 to viewspectacular WWII-era aircraft.

AIRSHOW, from pg. 6increase total fuel capacity to 2,800 gallons. Thatwould provide at least 10 to 12 hours flying time.”

Fuel consumption on this B-17 is about 200 gal-lons per hour. The four engines have been turbo-charged so the plane can fly up to 30,000 feet. Atthat altitude, the plane cruises at 280 mph, but atlower elevations it hits 210 mph.

Flying the big bird coast-to-coast, from air show toair show, is expensive. Break-even funding comesfrom the sale of Living History Flights.

Elliott noted that the B-17 doesn’t like cross windsso the runway at this field is “barely enough” andjoshed that the 4,300-foot long runway is a sidewalk

for this plane.A P-51 Mustang was flown in by Tony Buechler of

Milwaukee. He bought his plane 30 years ago in Cali-fornia. At that time, the plane had just been restoredbut Buechler recently did another complete restoration.He said he’ll keep his bird around as long as he can stillclimb up the wing and hoist his legs into the cockpit.

Buechler’s career as an anesthesiologist at a Mil-waukee hospital helps finance his hobby.

“I couldn’t afford one of these birds today,” he said.“Thirty years ago they were much less expensive.The P-51 had not yet become a prized possession.”

Buechler did some formation flying with the othertwo P-51s at the air show.

“The P-51 helped turn the tide of air supremacyover Europe during World War II so it’s got aremarkable history,” he said.

MELROSE, Minn. – Rosie Spanierowns about 100 acres in Belgrade,Minn. She has 60 acres of woods, fruittrees and thousands of flowers. Withher late husband, Urban, a long-timeboard member of the Stearns CountyConservation Board, she raised sixchildren on their roughly 600-acrefarm.

“I ended up doing all the farming inmy coveralls,” said Spanier. “I was aborn farmer and will always be afarmer.”

Spanier was one of eight womenwho attended the Women Caring forthe Land workshop in Melrose on

May 21. The workshop, sponsored bythe Women, Food and Agriculture Net-work and Renewing the Countryside,was hosted by Stearns County Soil andWater Conservation District and otheragencies.

Spanier, who rents 40 acres of crop-land to a farmer who gets chemicals onher fruit trees, came to learn how toconvince her renter to stop spraying.

In the workshop, women landownerslearned about soil health and conser-vation practices. They also connectedwith local resources and each other.LessonsCarol Schutte of WFAN and col-

league Jean Eells led the session.“What we’ve been neglecting for the

last 30 to 40 years is the absolute vital-ness of the structure of the soil and thebiology of the soil,” said Schutte.

Improved soil structure helpsincrease yields while also preventingsoil and nutrient runoff. One way to dothis is cover crops.

“Living roots, they glue that soil backtogether,” said Eells. “You can build thesoil back up.”

Participant Barb Niehaus, who has a30-acre farm east of Sauk Centre,Minn., raises calves. She noticed thefarmland is disced and has little pastcrop residue.

“I wonder if there are any worms inthat ground,” said Niehaus.

The answer is not likely. Here’s why.“When we till we break up the fungi

and worms. We have compacted thesoil so much that there’s no room forthem,” Schutte said.

By reducing tillage and plantingcover crops, dead residue and plantsalso wick water into the soil.

“It drains better, but also holds on towater that is plant available in themost critical time of the year whenyour yield is being set. It holds ontowater and gives it up to your crops inAugust when your plants are fillingout,” Eells said. “That’s when you aregoing to make money or not.”Nutrient loss

One pound of phosphorous equals500 pounds of algae in our waters.

“I love the land,” said LindaWenker. “I see water qualitygoing down. The grasslandsare so important.”

Linda and daughterMelissa Wenker came tolearn how to care for the fam-ily’s 80 acres in Melrose andwaterfront property on Morri-son Lake.

So Jill Sackett, Universityof Minnesota Extension edu-cator, talked cover crops.

For farmers new to covercrops, Sackett recommendsoats because they die in win-ter so come spring farmers donot need to spray and kill itbefore they plant their cashcrops.

“The use of cover crops affect every-thing,” said Sackett. “Start small onyour own farm.”Field trip

In the afternoon, the group took abus to nearby Conservation ReservePrgram land. A large pit was dug inorder to view the soil profile. Univer-sity of Minnesota Extension soil spe-cialist Jodi DeJong-Hughes jumped in.

“You can’t change the sand, silt andclay, but you can change the organicmatter in your soil. This is the IQ ofyour soil,” said DeJong-Hughes.

When we plant corn or soybeans, weare opening a big wound in the landand deep tillage creates a biggerwound, said DeJong-Hughes.

The group also held soil from a cornfield. The soil fell apart in their hands.

Women landowners can make a dif-ference in changing the landscape,especially if they have tenant farmers.Schutte suggested a long-term leasewith the condition to try cover cropsalong with cost sharing of cover cropseeds in the first two years.

“There are many renters out therewho will rent the way you want themto,” said DeJong-Hughes. “You havechoices.”

The latest full ‘From the Fields’ crop reports from our Minnesota

& northern Iowa producersThe Pulks Wannaska, Minn.

Canadian forest fires were 500-600 miles awayfrom Andy Pulk’s farm but smoke could be seenand smelled from there. When The Land spokewith Pulk on July 2, he said there hadn’t beenrain on the farm in two weeks. Despite the lack ofprecipiation, “The crops are pretty close tooptimum on moisture,” he said. Overall, Pulk’ssunflowers are average to excellent, even though“We ended up zeroing out some of the sunflowers

due to emergence issues.”The corn “looks average” andthe soybeans “look good,” hesaid. Half of the wheat hasbeen sprayed with fungicide.“We have the potential forabove-average wheat.” Pulk

is half-way done cutting hay. The crop is “lessthan we would hope for yield-wise, (but) quality isgood.”

The Lees McIntosh, Minn.

Things are starting to heat up on the Lee farm,and that bump in temperature is helping thecrops come around. The Land spoke with JoanLee on July 2 as she reported that the while thecorn wasn’t going to be knee-high by the Fourthof July, she believed that in some spots “it couldbe fairly close to that.” Meanwhile, “Thesoybeans are looking really nice; the stand looksreally good,” Lee said. Over in the small grains,

the wheat “looks prettygood,” but “the organic oatsfield isn’t looking as good asin the past,” she said. Leeand her husband Mark aregetting away from the farmand heading west to Wyoming

on a four-wheel adventure in mid-July. Time spentenjoying nature’s scenery is all the sweeter whenyou can report that for the most part your cropsare in good shape.

The Haarstads Rothsay, Minn.

Good news to report on thecorn crop for John Haarstad.When The Land spoke withHaarstad on July 2 he waspleased to announce “Thecorn looks 100 percent better than when I lasttalked to you.” The soybeans also “look reallygood,” and Haarstad plans on “spraying aphids inanother week or two.” He said the weather has

been nice, with temperatures in the 80s. Thingshave slowed down a bit on the farm so Haarstadsaid he has been “cleaning signs at our signshop.” He was also looking forward to spendingsometime at the lake with his family over theFourth of July weekend. Haarstad said he ispleased with the crops — “We’ve caught up afterbeing behind.”

The Filzens Renville, Minn.

The crops on the Filzen farm seem to goingthrough a huge growth spurt and Dale Filzen isenjoying watching them take off. The Land spokewith Filzen on July 3 and he was happy with thewarm weather that was sticking around the farm.“It’s good growing conditions,” he said. “The cornlooks really excellent; it’s grown tremendously.”The corn is chest high and Filzen said that “inabout a week we’ll see some tasseling.” The sugar

beets “are pretty muchcanopied,” he said, and thenavy beans are “lookingexcellent.” Meanwhile, thesoybeans “look alright;(there’s) a fair amount ofchlorosis.” Overall Filzen’s

crop report is “very good, for the most part.”

The ThorpesCanby, Minn.

Nathan Thorpe is back from his Canada fishingexcursion and reported that “the bugs were bad(but the) fishing was good.” He got back in timeto witness two to five inches of rain fall in anhour and a half on the farm. When The Landspoke with Thorpe on June 25, he was happy thatthe crops are doing well in spite all that moisture.“The corn is between knee high and waist high;It’s beautiful,” he said. The soybeans were

sprayed before the rain, andThorpe said he’s “very happywith what I see; good color.”Meanwhile, he is cutting hayas well as getting equipmentready for fall. Withtemperatures in the 80s the

weather is “pretty ideal for here,” Thorpe said.“We’re about in as good as conditions as you canget.”

The PagelsWinthrop, Minn.

Everything seems to begrowing well on the Pagelfarm — unfortunately thatincludes the weeds. TheLand spoke with DelaynePagel on June 26 as he was “spraying a secondshot of Liberty” and said he is “thinking aboutspraying beans three times.” The soybeans aren’tbad, he said, but they do have “lots of iron

chlorosis.” The wheat took some heavy rain andfell down, but is coming back up now. Meanwhile,the corn is “waist high,” and kidney beans are“coming along real good.” Pagel said he just gotdone spraying those for leafhoppers. Wheatharvest is just around the corner; he’s gettingequipment ready to go. He’s also getting ready fora vacation to Michigan for the Fourth of July aswell as eagerly awaiting the birth of his firstgrandchild, due any day now.

The MarblesMapleton, Minn.

On June 22, HarlanMarble’s crops took a beatingin a havoc-wreaking storm.“We had winds up to 70miles per hour,” he said.When The Land caught up with Marble three dayslater, he reported that he had “80 acres of cornflat on the ground” and the soybeans “all tooksome wind damage.” Marble said it felt like déjà

vu — a June 23, 1981 storm “took everything wehad” — but fortunately this time the storm didfar less damage. The farm sustained two inchesof rain in less than two hours, with hail sprinkledin there as well. The ground is too wet to spray,so for now Marble is looking ahead to harvest:“We got the combine out this morning, washed itall off. This Blue Earth County farmer is lookingto brighter days ahead for the crops. “I’moptimistic,” he said.

The HeusinkveldsWykoff, Minn.

“Moisture is really good.” That was NateHeusinkveld’s report when The Land spoke withhim on June 28. “Got our peas and barley done(on June 21)” he said, and “started on secondcrop.” The corn is looking “really good,” saidHeusinkveld, evident by the dark green/blueleaves. “It’s waist high.” The soybeans are“starting to take off,” he said, thanks to the cropsfinally getting some heat. Besides finishing

cutting the hay crop, he’sworking on “someconstruction projects here;working on some calf barns.”For Heusinkveld, “It’s kind ofbeen a perfect growingseason to say the least. I

can’t complain.”

The KempsSibley, Iowa

A little snapped corn isn’t keeping Brian Kempdown. The Land spoke with Kemp on June 26after a storm that went through on the 22ndsnapped off a little of his corn. That damageaside, the “crops look good.” In fact, the corn is“growing like crazy,” said Kemp, and thesoybeans are also looking good. He’ll be scoutinghis crops the next two weeks, “monitoring what’sgoing on.” Kemp is thankful for the moisture that

has fallen. “We’ve hadadequate rain to keep thecrop going.”

The Froemmings Garfield, Minn.

“We got a little over threeinches of rain” in the last twoweeks, Rodney Froemmingtold The Land on July 2, buthe wasn’t going to let therain slow him down. “We’re still working on hay;got a lot of custom stuff.” Meanwhile, “the cornis about chest high,” he said, and “our rye isreally starting to turn now.” Froemming believes

that the crop is about a couple weeks away fromharvest. “The wheat is starting to turn,” and thesoybeans are “looking really good, pretty muchcanopying now,” said Froemming. He estimatesthat the beans are eight to 10 inches tall. Thecrops are growing and the haying is slowly butsurely getting done on the Froemming farm.

Let’s be honest. Corn is big business.And it doesn’t even matter what kind

of corn you’re talking about — field corn,sweetcorn, candy corn, acorns, popcorn,corn chips, corn silage, corn-based fuel,corn sweeteners, DDGs, corn-based plas-tics and fibers — even the corns on ourfeet are big business for someone.

I love the tongue-in-cheek joke aboutthe vegetable industry crying over thefact that it didn’t further pursue thecandy industry’s notion to make a sweetconfection named and designed after ker-nels of corn. Even so, I wonder what kid(or even grown-up) would purposely consume candybroccoli?

I’m sure there’s a reason that never caught on.Whether the consumers of corn have two legs or

four, it seems there’s a certain amount of appealthat corn holds to them, because corn affects ourlives in a lot of ways.

For the farmer it’s a livelihood and a way of life topass on to children. It’s the miracle of new life hap-pening in plant fashion — and when those plantsbegin to emerge from the black gold that is richIowa soil, there is great pride in seeing those just-visible rows of green that hold the future of the

farm family within its new and very ten-der roots. Dreams take shape as the corn

grows, and financial decisions are made as the com-bine rolls across fields of gold.

For a young farm kid, a little corn can produce avast amount of entertainment. Toy wagons are filledwith it via toy elevators, which dump the golden ker-nels into the wagons below while they watch“Sesame Street.” It’s good experience for children,who will most likely do the real thing someday, withelevators powered by more than a hand crank.

I remember playing in the corn when we weregrowing up. Back then we didn’t know or understandthe dangers of playing in grain bins or wagons, andwe did it all the time. Thank God for today’s knowl-edge of the safety issues related to playing in grain— especially flowing grain.

We used to head out to the corn crib on a hot sum-mer afternoon, climb that very tall, straight-up-and-

down ladder that took us to the overhead bins, andjump into that waiting pool of wonderfully cool cornthat was up there. You could burrow in up to yourneck if you wanted. Only a farm kid can know howmuch fun that could be. It was a great way to cool offin a dry way when you lived out in no-man’s land,many miles from a municipal swimming pool.

It’s a wonder we survived growing up in the 1960sand ’70s with little adult supervision. Parents justknew we were out playing somewhere on the farm. Iguess we were the original “Children of the Corn.”

In 1989, Hollywood created the story of an Iowafarmer who kept hearing a whispered voice saying,“If you build it, he will come.” He not only heard thevoice distinctly, but pursued it against the wishes ofhis bankers — and with judgmental looks from hispeers, family members and people in his community.

Most all farmers follow the very same logic — if hebuilds it (the farm and the dream), there’s a chancethat his children will follow him. His quiet whisper-ing is there for the hearing — if only his childrenwill pursue it.

By the end of the movie we understood the majestythat an Iowa corn field is, when one of the moviecharacters asked, “Is this heaven?” And the farmerreplied, “No. It’s Iowa.”

How does Hollywood get off comparing being in anIowa corn field to being in heaven? Just ask any cornfarmer. They’ll tell you it’s real.

Now that’s big.Karen Schwaller brings “Table Talk” to The Land

from her home near Milford, Iowa. She can bereached at [email protected]. ❖

That’s some fancy footwork.You see a bug, and you do a

two-step on its torso. A beetlegets the Bossanova and youperform a little do-si-do onany drainflies you might see.But bed bugs? Ugh, theycould bow to your corner andyou’d never know — until youstart to scratch. So what canyou do about unwanted visi-tors this summer? Read“Infested” by Brooke Boreland “House Guests HousePests” by Richard Jones andknow what’s afoot.

Come on over, you’ve toldyour friends. Your familyknows that the welcome matis out any time. You’ll open your dooraplenty all season long but, unfortu-nately, that could mean a few visitorsthat didn’t get invited.

In this, you’re not alone. Says BrookeBorel, the pharaohs in Egypt battledbed bugs; in fact, it seems that the bugshave “shadowed us throughout history.”They’ve adapted to our physiology, too:a bed bug’s mouth is eight micrometersacross, while our red blood cells areseven-point-two in diameter. We’ve evenhelped them out by becoming “an effi-cient vehicle to spread” the bug around.

The same, says Richard Jones, hap-pened with fleas because our ancestors“returned, night after night, to sleep inthe same shelter.” That gave fleas areason for “a human-based flea commu-nity” we could share with otherhearths. Ick.

Overall, the reason we have little visi-tors we don’t want is because our homesoffer four things: shelter, warmth, food,and protection from the pest’s naturalenemies. This goes for six and eight-legged nasties, as well as those of thefour-legged variety. (No word on the two-legged pests. That’s another book ...)

So what can you do about such

unpleasant com-pany? Says Borel,it’s tempting to use“whatever meanspossible” againstbedbugs but movecautiously andremember that bedbugs are disgustingbut no “experiments over the past cen-tury [have] successfully linked bed bugsto illness …”

Jones advises to “Identify the visitor;”keep things clean; use barrier methods,natural repellents or man-made traps;and if all else fails, “make a decisionabout whether it is acceptable or not toshare your home …”

“We do love nature,” he says, “and wedo want to see it up close, but not thatclose.”

Are you squirming yet? Scratchingyour neck, or the back of your arm? Youwill be, once you’re done reading“House Guests House Pests” and“Infested.”

Thanks to an investigator’s mien(Borel) and mean curiosity (Jones),there’s plenty to learn about varmintsin these two books, including where

they could have possiblycome from and how to getthem to go. Both authorstouch upon natural methodsof ridding your home of pests(and the lack thereof, inBorel’s case), and both booksinclude a handy appendix orguide to answer any quick,(and, quite possibly, panicky)questions you might have.

Beetles and bed bugs andflies! Oh, my! Whetheryou’re a homeowner or anapartment dweller you need“House Guests House Pests”and “Infested.” Get ’em now.And step on it.

Look for the reviewed bookat a bookstore or a library nearyou. You may also find the book atonline book retailers.

Grain AnglesAssessing your

team’s advantageI was a volunteer youth basketball coach for nearly

two decades while my children and their friends weregrowing up. I enjoyed this because of my passion forthe sport and I had great kids to coach. Each year,after a few practices, I would assess my team’s com-petitive advantages.

If I had some long and fairlyfast athletes, I tried to speed thegame up by pressing and trap-ping. With teams that did nothave as many athletes (not-so-quick and small), I emphasizedslowing the game down with apatient half-court offense —keeping the amount of turnoversto a minimum so that we could“stay in the game,” giving us thebest possible chance for success.

I think there are some similari-ties when we assess our competi-tive advantages as grain producers, especially as we tryto “stay in the game” with very tight profit margins.When I assess a grain producer for their competitiveadvantages, these are the management areas I consider:

• Are they a low-cost producer? What does it costyou to produce a bushel of corn or soybeans comparedto your peers? In order for a producer to know thisthey have to have a good set of records. Good finan-cial management is also a competitive advantage.

• Production ability as measured by actual produc-tion history — If you can’t produce good yields prof-itably, there is a need to investigate this further.

• Overall land costs per crop acre — Depending onyour APH, how competitive is this? If your corn APHis greater than 185 bushels per acre, is your overallland cost less than $250 per acre? At what land costlevel are you no longer profitable?

Grain OutlookHuge sales ofold, new corn

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing July 3.

CORN — Don’t you just love a holiday-shortened,big U.S. Department of Agriculture report week? Youshould if you still had old crop bushels left to sell orneeded to play catch up on newcrop sales. Price action inresponse to weather concernsand the Planted Acreage andGrain Stocks reports was unex-pected and almost shocking.

Beginning with weather, cornconditions fell once again in theweek that ended June 28 due towet, cool conditions experiencedover much of the Corn Belt. Cornratings fell three percent to 68percent good-to-excellent com-pared to 75 percent good-to-excel-lent last year. The largest declineswere in the East with Ohio down 19 percent, Indianaoff 10 percent and Illinois eight percent lower.

Turning to the USDA Grain Stocks as of June 1report, corn stock of 4.447 billion bushels werebelow the trade estimate of 4.555 billion bushels.On-farm stocks make up the majority of the stocksat 51 percent of the total stocks. Minnesota on June1 had 471 million bushels in inventory, of which 69percent were being held on-farm.

In post-report trading, growers were huge sellersof both old and new crop bushels.

The corn Planted Acreage report was also belowtrade expectations at 88.9 million acres compared tothe 89.29 million acre forecast and less than the89.20 million acres the USDA has been using on therecent balance sheets. The refreshed number is 1.7million acres less than last year’s 90.60 million

Livestock AnglesBeef prices

lower demand The month of June has not produced a very positive

atmosphere for livestock prices. The month has seenboth cattle and hog prices slump, in futures and in cash.

The cattle market has seen another rejection at thehighs of the trading range that this market has beenentrapped in for months. Bothcash and futures markets arenow testing the lows of thisrange once again.

There has been a battle going allspring between the short supplyof cattle and the demand for beef.So far it has been nothing morethan a standoff in the market-place. This standoff between sup-ply and demand may be coming toa conclusion in the weeks ahead.

The economic conditions willlikely be the catalyst to break thistrading range that has been inplace so long.The disparity in price between beef and allother competitive meats is way too wide for contractingdisposable incomes to bear. As a result the demand forbeef will continue to suffer. This has been an ongoingstruggle for months as beef cutouts have increased theboxed beef movement contracts indicating a continuedreluctance by the consumer because of price.

With ample supplies of these competitive meatswhich have a lower cost per pound, the value is nowpointing away from beef. So despite the fact thatnumbers are likely to remain tight in the monthsahead, prices are not likely to follow the supply asmuch as they follow the demand.

Producers would be wise to follow these marketconditions and protect inventories as needed.

The hog market has continued to slide throughoutthe month of June. Current numbers have been more

NYSTROM, from pg. 14planted acres. The total of all cropacres is 315.4 million acres, 700,000acres higher than the forecast inMarch. These reports were enough tokick start a rally that pushed corn upthe 30-cent daily trading limit in Sep-tember corn and set an all-time recordvolume corn day on the Chicago Boardof Trade. Funds were buyers of an esti-mated 40,000 corn contracts on reportday, but they still held a net short posi-tion as we moved into July.

Informa Economics updated theircrop outlook as we headed into theweekend. They are using harvestedcorn acres of 81.1 million versusUSDA’s June number of 81.7 millionand a yield of 165.4 bushels per acreversus USDA’s 166.8 bu./acre. Theirproduction figure comes in at 13.412billion bushels, which is 218 millionbushels less than USDA’s 13.63 billionbushel June forecast.

Weekly export sales were better thananticipated this week at 23.4 millionbushels, cutting the amount we’redown from last year from four percentto three percent. The USDA is predict-ing a 4.8 percent year-to-year exportdecline. New crop sales were 9.4 mil-lion bushels, where with 120.8 millionbushels committed we’re still behindlast year’s 152.5 million bushels com-mitted. Weekly ethanol productiondropped 26,000 barrels per day to 968million barrels per day, the secondlargest weekly decline since January.Ethanol stocks were 300,000 barrelslower at 19.5 million barrels.

OUTLOOK: As expected, basis levelsmoved lower as bushels were attractedinto the pipeline. Weather will con-tinue to drive direction. Record vol-umes were seen on June 30 in corn andsoybeans on the Chicago Board ofTrade. The next target for the Decem-ber contract is the high set in back inDecember at $4.40 per bushel. If that

is erased, the $4.65area will be the nextresistance.

The high this week was $4.39 3⁄4 perbushel. First support is this week’s lowat $4.00 1⁄4 per bushel. For the week,September corn was 36 cents higher at$4.28 1⁄2 and the December corn ral-lied 35 1⁄4 cents to settle at $4.37 1⁄4per bushel. Setbacks will likely beviewed in the coming week as buyingopportunities. A possible area of grow-ing concern to watch is westernEurope where hot, dry conditions arehurting crops.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans fell justslightly to begin the week, but theUSDA reports on Tuesday sent pricesto their highest levels since Decemberand set a new record for volume in theprocess. Weather issues remain withsoybean ratings falling two percent to63 percent good-to-excellent as of June28. As in corn, the largest drops werein the eastern Corn Belt with Ohiodown 11 percent, Indiana nine percentlower and Illinois eight percent lower.Missouri’s soybeans were only 33 per-cent good-to-excellent after fallinganother one percent. There was stillsix percent of the U.S. soybean crop tobe planted with Missouri only 62 per-cent completed and Illinois with sevenpercent to be planted. In terms ofacreage, Missouri was estimated tohave 2.1 million acres left to plant, Illi-nois with 700,000 acres and Kansaswith 530,000 acres.

In an interesting sidebar, 2010 wasthe second wettest May-June-Julyperiod in Illinois; 2010 Illinois beanyield was a record that year (now thesecond-best behind last year). In Iowa,2010 was also the second wettest May-June-July on record and soybeanyields in Iowa that year were in linewith both 2009 and 2011. Augustweather will determine what the finalyield is, just like always.

The kicker this weekwas the bullish USDA

reports released on June30. Soybean acres at a record 85.14 mil-lion acres were in line with the 85.17million estimate and 500,000 acresabove the March USDA projection of84.635 million acres. Last year’s plantedsoybean acreage was 83.7 million acres.Minnesota acreage was pegged at 7.7million acres, up 200,000 acres from theMarch report and 350,000 higher thanlast year’s bean acres.

As of June 1, there were 625 millionbushels of soybean stocks, with 39 per-cent of the stocks on-farm. This per-centage is a significant jump from lastyear’s 27 percent June 1 stocks on-farm. Minnesota had 55 millionbushels in inventory on June 1 with 53percent on the farm. The implication isthat the USDA may have overesti-mated the 2014 soybean crop by 50 mil-lion bushels. November soybeansstaged a 57 1⁄4 cent gain the day of thereports. We’ll see how everything worksthrough the USDA balance sheets onthe July 10 monthly crop report.

An updated production outlook fromInforma Economics used harvestedacres of 84.449 million acres comparedto USDA’s June 83.7 million acres andtheir yield of 45.1 bu./acre is downfrom the USDA’s 46.0 bu./acre. Their2015 production forecast is 3.808 bil-lion bushels, down 42 million bushelsfrom the USDA’s 3.85 billion bushelprojection.

Weekly export sales for old crop soy-beans were negative 400,000 bushels,below trade expectations. New cropsales were 4.7 million bushels, alsobelow trade estimates. Total old cropcommitments are still above theUSDA outlook for 1.81 billionbushels; however, new crop sales con-tinue to fall behind last year. Soybeanexport commitments for 2015 are225.7 million bushels compared to the411.4 million bushels we had on thebooks last year at this time or down45 percent. South America continuesto cut into our fall business. Focus ison our production, but at some pointdemand may command additionalattention.

OUTLOOK: Basis levels movedsharply lower on heavy farmer sell-ing. On report day, funds were esti-mated to have bought 25,000 con-tracts, adding to their net longposition established just last week.The November soybean contracttraded through last December’s highof $10.39 3⁄4 per bushel when ittraded as high as $10.40 per bushel.The next resistance level is the mid-November high of $10.56 3⁄4 perbushel with first support near thenine-day moving average at $9.91 1⁄2,then this week’s low at $9.71 1⁄4 perbushel. August soybeans were 40 1⁄2cents higher for the week at $10.381⁄4 while the November soybeanswere up 44 1⁄4 cents at $10.30 1⁄4 perbushel. ❖

LARSON, from pg. 14• Land debt per crop acre — Depend-

ing on the quality of the land, less than$2,000 land debt per crop acre could beconsidered a competitive advantage,giving you the potential to grow yourbusiness should more land come avail-able at a competitive price.

• Machinery and vehicle investmentper crop acre — Less than $575 peracre. The thriftier you are here, thebetter return on your investment. Canyou out-farm someone who is atgreater than $1,000 machinery andvehicle investment per crop acre?

• Working capital position — Grainproducers who have working capital peradjusted gross income greater than 30percent or greater than $500 of actualworking capital per crop acre have acompetitive advantage over producerswith limited liquidity who cannotweather multiple years of crop losses.

• Marketing — It doesn’t have to bea complicated plan to get good results,but in order to be competitive you doneed a written thought-out plan.

• Risk management — Not only canyou sleep better at night knowingyour crop and business are protected,it also allows you to potentially mar-ket at higher levels.

TEALE, from pg. 14than adequate to offset the fairlydecent demand for pork. This has giventhe packer the luxury of being selectivein the pricing of live inventory.

On June 26, the USDA released aQuarterly Hogs and Pigs Report whichstated that all hogs and pigs as of June1 was 109 percent. This was on thehigh side or estimates prior to thereport. The kept for breeding numberwas 101 percent which was lower thananticipated, while the kept for market-

ing number was 109 percent in linewith the pre-report estimates.

Overall the report was seen as neutralto slightly negative in the short termand neutral in the long term. Thereforethe short term outlook appears to bedetermined more by the supply of hogsand longer term by the demand for pork.

Producers should monitor marketconditions closely and protect invento-ries when the opportunities presentthemselves. ❖

Farm operators in Min-nesota, Iowa and other Mid-western states overwhelm-ingly selected the AgriculturalRisk Coverage-County farmprogram choice for corn andsoybeans for the 2014-18 cropyears. The other farm pro-gram choices were the PriceLoss Coverage or AgriculturalRisk Coverage-IndividualCoverage programs.

The U.S. Department ofAgriculture recentlyreleased the resultsof farm programsign-up, which endedon March 31. It appears that the higherlikelihood of corn and soybean ARC-COpayments for the 2014 and 2015 cropyears in many states probably leanedthe choice toward the ARC-CO

program.Farm program sign-up results

Following are the results of the newfarm program sign-up for the entireUnited States, listing the total numberfarms enrolled, total base acresenrolled, and percentage of crop base

acres enrolled in each farm programoption:• Corn — 1,363,342 farms;96,768,447 base acres; 93 percent ARC-CO; 7 percent PLC; less than one per-cent ARC-IC• Soybeans — 1,062,142 farms;54,514,972 base acres; 97 percent ARC-CO; 3 percent PLC; less than one per-cent ARC-IC• Wheat — 802,482 farms;63,699,144 base acres; 56 percent ARC-CO; 42 percent PLC; two percent ARC-IC• Grain Sorghum — 230,382 farms;8,979,430 base acres; 66 percent ARC-CO; 33 percent PLC; less than one per-cent ARC-IC• Barley — 111,277 farms; 5,185,717base acres; 22 percent ARC-CO; 75 per-cent PLC; four percent ARC-IC• Oats — 49,356 farms; 2,020,243base acres; 32 percent ARC-CO, 67 per-cent PLC; one percent ARC-IC

The farm program enrollment formost of the major corn and soybeanproducing states in the United Statesis listed in this column’s accompanyingtables. The first table lists the number

of farms enrolled in the new farm pro-gram in each state, and the total num-ber of crop base acres enrolled, as wellas the 2014 change in base acres, ascompared to the 2013 crop base acres.The second table lists the farm pro-gram enrollment choice (PLC, ARC-COor ARC-IC) for 2014-18 for corn andsoybeans in each state. Complete farmprogram enrollment data for all cropsand all states can be found on the fol-lowing U.S. Department of Agriculturewebsite: http://goo.gl/kvAr7KEnrollment data observations

The 2014 benchmark price for theARC-CO program is $5.29 per bushelfor corn, which will also likely be theARC-CO benchmark price for the 2015crop year. As a result, there was a veryhigh likelihood for significant ARC-COpayments for the 2014 crop year inMinnesota, Iowa, South Dakota andportions of other states that had aver-age or below-average corn yields in2014. If corn prices remain at currentlevels or lower, there is also a high like-lihood for significant ARC-CO pay-ments again for the 2015 crop year,depending on the final county average

Corn, soybean growers overwhelmingly choose ARC-CO

THIESSE, from pg. 18yields. The result was a very highenrollment rate in the ARC-CO pro-gram for corn, especially in the Mid-western states. If lower price levels con-tinue, the ARC-CO benchmark pricesfor corn will likely decline significantlyfor the 2016, 2017 and 2018 crop years,lowering the ARC-CO guarantees, andthe likelihood of ARC-CO payments.

Benchmark price for the ARC-CO pro-gram for 2014 is $12.27 per bushel forsoybeans, which will also likely be theARC-CO benchmark price for the 2015crop year. ARC-CO payments for soy-beans for the 2014 crop year will bemuch more variable than with corn, andwill occur primarily in areas of theUpper Midwest that experienced belowaverage soybean yields in 2014. SoybeanARC-CO payments for the 2015 cropyear could be much more prevalent, ifsoybean prices stay at current levels ordrop even lower. Similar to corn, theenrollment rate in the ARC-CO programfor soybeans was extremely high. Justas with corn, it should be noted that theARC-CO benchmark prices and guaran-tees could decline in future years, if soy-bean prices remain low.

The market year average price that isused to calculate potential PLC, ARC-CO and ARC-IC for corn and soybeansis calculated from Sept. 1 in the year ofcrop harvest until Aug. 31 the followingyear. Actual farm program paymentsare made in the year following the yearthat the crop was produced. (Example:Any ARC-CO or PLC payments for the2014 crop year for corn and soybeanswill be made in October 2015.)

The current USDA estimate for the2014 MYA price for corn is $3.65 perbushel. Based on that estimate, therewould be a small 2014 PLC payment($0.05 per bushel, or approx. $5.00-$8.00 per corn base acre in Minnesota).The estimated 2014 ARC-CO paymentfor corn in Minnesota ranges from$55.00-$80.00 per corn base acre, withthe higher payment levels in the south-ern portion of the state. USDA has apreliminary MYA estimate of $3.20-$3.80 per bushel for the 2015 crop year,or an average of $3.50 per bushel. Atthat MYA price level, the potential forreceiving a partial or maximum ARC-CO payment for 2015 would again bequite high, as well as potential for anincreased 2015 PLC payment.

The current USDA estimate for the2014 MYA price for soybeans is $10.05per bushel. Based on that estimate,there will not be a 2014 PLC paymentfor soybeans. The estimated 2014 ARC-CO payment for soybeans in Minnesotaranges from zero to $50.00 per soybean

base acre, with abouttwo-thirds of the countiesgetting either a partial ormaximum payment,depending on the 2014average county soybeanyield compared to thefive-year average yield.USDA has a preliminaryMYA estimate of $8.25-$9.75 per bushel for the2015 crop year, or anaverage of $9.00 perbushel. At that MYA price level, thepotential for receiving a partial or max-imum ARC-CO payment for 2015 wouldagain be quite high; however, the MYAprice would need to drop below $8.40per bushel before any 2015 PLC pay-ments would be earned for soybeans.

It appears that most farm operatorsin major corn and soybean producingstates opted for the “most sure thing”with the new farm program choices —that for many included fairly substan-tial 2014 ARC-CO payments for corn,as well as 2014 ARC-CO soybean pay-ments for some producers, togetherwith a high likelihood of substantialARC-CO corn and soybean paymentsagain for the 2015 crop year. It does notappear that producers widely bought-into the concept of taking the PLC pro-gram on some of their corn and soy-bean acres as a risk protection toolagainst the really low commodityprices, or to sign-up for PLC in order toaccess the Supplemental Crop Optioninsurance coverage. For farm operatorsalready utilizing 80 percent or 85 per-cent crop revenue insurance policies, asmany corn and soybean producers do,the SCO option was not that attractive.

It appears that the PLC programchoice was a bit more popular withcrops other than corn and soybeans, andin other areas of the United States, out-side of the Corn Belt. Total PLC enroll-ment in the United States was at 42percent for wheat, 75 percent for barley,32 percent for oats, 33 percent for grainsorghum, 97 percent for canola, andnearly 100 percent for peanuts. Thelikelihood of PLC payments in the nextfew years for some of these crops washigher with the PLC program than withARC-CO. For wheat, it kind of dependedon location, average yields and priceexpectations, when making the choicebetween PLC and ARC-CO.

The ARC-IC program did not attractmuch interest as a farm programoption, with most major crops havingone percent or less enrolled in the

ARC-IC program. Some felt that usingfarm-level yields with ARC-IC wouldbe attractive, compared to the county-level yields used to calculate ARC-COpayments. However, the fact that ARC-CO payments are made on 85 percentof crop base acres, and ARC-IC pay-ments are made on only 65 percent of

crop base acres, was probably a bigfactor in the low enrollment in ARC-IC. The ARC-IC program also requiredfarm-level yield documentation, andcalculated payments based on produc-tion and price levels for all program

THIESSE, from pg. 19crops together, rather than for individ-ual crops.

It appears that many farm operatorsmaximized their corn base acres,based on their planted corn acres from2009-12, rather than gearing theircrop base acres to more closely match

their likely crop production acres forthe coming years. Nationally, the cornbase acres increased by over 12.8 mil-lion acres from 2013 to 2014, which isan increase of approximately 15 per-cent. Soybean base acres increased bynearly 4.7 million acres from 2013 to2014, for an increase of about 9 per-

cent. Wheat base acresdropped by nearly 9.9million acres 2013 to2014, barley base acres dropped byover 3.5 million acres, grain sorghumbase dropped by over 2.6 million acres,and oats base dropped by almost 1 mil-lion acres. The reason that producersopted to maximize their corn baseacres, at the expense other crop baseacres, was that corn base had a higherfarm program payment potential, espe-cially for the 2014 and 2015 crop years.

Another interesting point from theUSDA farm program enrollment sum-mary was the number of producers whochose to update their farm programpayment yields, when there was anadvantage to do so. The farm programpayment yields are used to calculatePLC payments, but are not used to cal-culate ARC-CO payments; however,farm program yields were updated ontwo-thirds of the corn base acres thatwere entered into the ARC-CO pro-gram. The average increase in the farmprogram corn yield from 2013 to 2014was just over 27 percent. Most produc-ers enrolled in the ARC-CO programupdated the farm program yields forlater use, in case future farm programpayments are based on the farm pro-gram yields.

Bottom lineThe high level of

national and statewideenrollment in the ARC-CO program forcorn and soybeans in the new farm pro-gram (2014-18) exceeded even thehighest estimates projected by thefarm program analysts. This high levelof ARC-CO enrollment, especially inthe Midwest, suggests that many pro-ducers did their “homework,” studiedthe options, and made the best choicefor their farms. It also suggests thatcash flow levels in corn and soybeanproduction are very tight in manyareas, and that having the likelihood offairly substantial ARC-CO payments in2015 (2014 crop year) and 2016 (2015year) looked very attractive to reducethe financial risk. The much higherthan expected enrollment in the ARC-CO program for corn, together with thesubstantial increase in corn base acres,could increase farm program spendingbeyond the current Federal budget tar-gets, which could create some issues inthe future.

This column was written for the market-ing week ending July 3.

Dairy farmers can now enroll in the U.S.Department of Agriculture’s Margin Pro-tection Program for coverage in 2016. Thevoluntary program, established by the2014 farm bill, provides financial assis-tance to participating dairy operationswhen the margin, the difference betweenthe price of milk and feed costs, fallsbelow the coverage level selected by thefarmer. Agriculture Deputy SecretaryKrysta Harden made the announce-ment while visiting a farm and dairyschool in Freeport, Maine.

“More than half of our nation’s dairyproducers enrolled in the 2015 program, whichexceeded our expectations for the first year of theprogram,” Harden said. “We are confident that dairyfarmers across the country will again take advan-tage of this safety net program for 2016. USDA willcontinue outreach efforts, including partnering withcooperative extension services, to ensure dairy pro-ducers are fully informed about the protections thatthis safety net program can provide during periods ofmarket downturns.”

The MPP gives participating dairy producers theflexibility to select coverage levels best suited fortheir operation. Enrollment begins July 1 and endson Sept. 30 for coverage in 2016. Participating farm-ers will remain in the program through 2018 and paya $100 administrative fee each year. Producers alsohave the option of selecting a different coverage levelduring open enrollment each year. MPP payments arebased on an operation’s historical production.

An operation’s historical production will increaseby 2.61 percent in 2016 if the operation participatedin 2015, providing a stronger safety net.

“We commend the President for signing Trade Pro-motion Authority into law and thank the entireadministration for its collaboration with Congress inpassing the TPA-2015 bill,” said Connie Tipton, pres-ident and CEO of IDFA. “We now look forward toworking both with the administration and Congressto ensure the U.S. dairy industry receives the best

deals from two trade agreements cur-rently undergoing negotiations – theTrans-Pacific Partnership and theTransatlantic Trade and Investment Part-nership,” Tipton said. “A lot is at stake forU.S. dairy producers, manufacturers, sup-pliers and marketers as our dairy exportscontinue to be a major success story forindustry growth,” Tipton said. “Theseagreements will allow the U.S. dairyindustry to grow and prosper withincreased trade opportunities.”

Dairy producers start the monthwith a 53 cent increase in the June

Federal order Class III milk price.USDA announced the benchmark price July 1 at$16.72 per hundredweight, up 53 cents from May but$4.64 below June 2014, and equates to about $1.44per gallon, up 5 cents from May. The six month ClassIII average stands at $15.99, down from $22.68 atthis time a year ago, and compares to $17.74 in 2013.

Looking ahead, the July Class III futures contractwas trading late Thursday morning at $16.11/cwt.,which would be a drop of 61 cents from June. Augustwas at $16.50; September, $16.59; October, $16.64;November, $16.74; and December was at $16.72.

The June Class IV price is $13.90/cwt., down apenny from May and $9.23 below a year ago. The 2015Class IV average now stands at $13.70, down from$23.09 a year ago and compares to $18.17 in 2013.

Chicago Mercantile Exchange cash cheese and non-fat dry milk prices headed south. The Cheddarblocks closed the Fourth of July holiday-shortenedweek at $1.62 per pound, down two cents on theweek and 34.75 cents short of last year’s level. TheCheddar barrels closed Thursday at $1.5825, down4.25 cents on the week and 40.25 cents below a yearago. Eleven cars of block and 29 of barrel tradedhands on the week.

■

Dairy Market News reports that “Strong cheesesales have been normal in the Midwest for some timeand that is contributing to some manufacturers play-

ing more hardball in price negotiations. There wereearly week calls to some manufacturers seekingloads of cheese which manufacturers had available,but opted to hold for later sale when buyers wouldnot meet seller’s current price expectations.”

■

Cash butter is moving higher, closing Thursday at$1.94 per pound, up 2.5 cents on the week but 45cents below a year ago. Eight cars found new homeson the week and the National Dairy Products SalesReport average climbed to $1.9037, up 1.7 cents.

“Churn rates are declining as cream levelstighten,” says Dairy Market News. “Some manufac-turers are selling excess cream instead of churningdue to current pricing. Retail butter demand issteady to lower. Export interest remains weak.

The June 26 Dairy and Food Market Analyst givessome insight into the up and down butter situation.It reports that “By all accounts, domestic butterdemand is well-ahead of year ago levels meaning aboost in butter production (not a contraction indemand) probably caused the inventory build (ColdStorage data).”

■

In the USDA Ag Prices report, the May U.S. aver-age all-milk price jumped to $16.70/cwt., up 20cents from April but $7.50 below May 2014.

Don’t look for much export improvement any timesoon, according to the U.S. Dairy Export Council’sAlan Levitt. Writing in his latest blog, Levitt says“At the halfway point of the year, the global dairymarkets are in their weakest position since 2009.Furthermore, with the slow rebalancing of worldsupply and demand, most observers are coming tothe realization that the chance of the markets stillrebounding this year is getting slimmer and slim-mer. Analysts are pushing out their timetable forany kind of sustained improvement in prices tosomewhere in 2016.”

Festival of kitesThis week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondent Richard Siemers

This summer was the 25th Indepen-dence Day that kites speckled the skyabove Independence Park in Mar-

shall, Minn. For a quarter of a century alarge intergenerational crowd has gatheredin the 51-acre park for the Festival of Kites.

While other activities come and go, twostaple activities have anchored the commu-nity’s Fourth of July celebration — fire-works filling the sky after dark, and kitesfilling the sky in the afternoon.

Why kites?“Because the wind always blows,” said

Doug Goodmund, Assistant Director forCommunity Services in Marshall.

Goodmund said that the Marshall Hy-Veehad already been sponsoring a fireworksdisplay when the city joined with them tocreate a community celebration in the thennewly-developed Independence Park. Formany years, Goodmund and fellow staffersand their families put on the celebration. Inrecent years the Marshall Kiwanis Clubhas provided the workforce. Hy-Vee is still amajor sponsor.

The goal was a family-friendly celebrationwith free activities, so they decided to havea community kite fly. They purchased 500kites and handed them out.

People are encouraged to bring their ownkites, but the nucleus of the Festival ofKites is still the 500 free kites that are dis-tributed. They begin handing them out at aspecified time. Folks assemble the kites andlet the wind carry them aloft. Goodmundsaid the record time for handing out 500kites is eleven minutes.

The trees in the park were young andsmall for the first Festival of Kites. Theyhave grown to full-sized trees over 25 years,but the park is still utilized for the festival.

For the first 10 years they brought kiteexpert Bob Klein to demonstrate his “phe-nomenal kites,” as Goodmund describedthem. There are other activities each year,too, along with food vendors and a commu-nity band concert.

“F” is a failing grade in school, but this issummertime. On the Fourth of July in Mar-shall, “F” is a superior mark standing forFamily Fun, Food, a Festival of Kites, andFireworks. ❖
