Flower breeder Karol Emmerich of Jordan, Minn., is merging the beauty of southern daylilies with a little bit of northern hardiness See her story (and flowers) on Page 8

As I write this on the morning of April20, it’s cold and very windy ... again. So Icaution that “perfect spring” talk dependsupon where you live.

Certainly spring 2015 is one of the dri-est. Locals with a better memory tell mespring 1976 was very similar. Fortunatelythere was some moisture on the agendafor our area this week but much more isneeded to get subsoils recharged to “com-fort” levels. Yes, lots of dust swirlingacross the landscape, too, but excellentseed bed conditions are being reported.

The week of April 13 might have beenrecord-setting for many farmers. Andwhen you farmers get at it, you reallyget at it. Thanks to big iron, experts who pay atten-tion say Minnesota farmers — when the weather isright — can plant upwards of one million acres perday. With a projected eight million acres corn, sevenmillion acres soybeans, and a half-million acres inthe crop mix of sugar beets, sweet corn, edible beansand potatoes, about 18 days of Mother Nature behav-ing and this 2015 crop is in the ground.

My Olivia, Minn., coffee shop friends told me thismorning that here in Renville County 100 percent ofthe sugar beet crop, 80 percent of the corn crop and“a good hunk” of the soybean crop is now planted.That likely would be earliest ever for our countywhich will do about 260,000 acres corn, 170,000acres soybeans, nearly 20,000 acres sugar beets plusa few thousand acres of sweet corn, peas and ediblebeans.

Also, about eight or nine semi rigs were lined up atthe local elevator this morning. Perhaps some 2014crop is still coming in but mostly these rigs werebeing loaded with soybeans and/or corn for deliveryto various ethanol plants or the big CHS soybeanprocessing plant at Mankato. Thanks to huge on-farm bin construction the past two-three years, thereis still lots of old crop corn and beans in those bins.A donnybrook with the government

Elsewhere in this issue you will read the ratheramazing story of Jean and Pat Fiedler, veteran con-servation farmers in the Sauk Centre, Minn., area.Their brush with a local Department of NaturalResources officer cascaded into a major donnybrook.Thanks to their relentless pursuit of honesty and

facts, however, plus perhaps securing theservices of noted St. Cloud attorney KurtDeter, justice prevailed. The presidingStearns County judge dismissed the casein 10 minutes.

This dismissal of an erroneous DNRchallenge reminds me of comments fromPresident Ronald Reagan on government.Said Reagan, “We have long since discov-ered that nothing lasts longer than a tem-porary government. Government is notthe solution to our problems; governmentis the problem. It is rather to make gov-

ernment work with us, not over us; tostand by our side, not ride on our back.Government can and must provide

opportunity, not smother it; foster productivity, notstifle it.”

When it came to budget matters, Reagan alsoshared a few choice words: “The size of the federalbudget is not an appropriate barometer of social con-science or charitable concern. Balancing a budget isa little like protecting your virtue: you just have tolearn to say ‘no.’ Government is like a baby. An ali-mentary canal with a big appetite at one end and nosense of responsibility at the other.”

Which leads me to say that our U.S. Congress con-tinues to be an insult to us taxpayers, and too often asource of embarrassment to our friends and allies inother parts of the world. Hearing or viewing reallygood substantial news on major networks is at bestan occasional happening. We are struggling, and so isthe rest of the world.

America is still an amazing democracy, but we cando better. Shades of socialism started disrupting ourvision years back. Each entitlement provision fur-ther clouds our future; for certain the future of ourchildren and grandchildren. Transfers of benefits toindividuals through social welfare programs haveincreased from less than one federal dollar in four(24 percent) in 1963 to almost three out of five (59percent) in 2013, according to columnist George Will.

In 1963, entitlement transfers were less than $1out of every $15; by 2012, they were more than $1out of every $6. Again a good spot to share some Rea-gan comments — On values: “We make a living by

Confession time: Over thelast three years I often havereferred to the 113th and114th Congress as either “donothing” or “doing less thannothing.”

This is wrong because eachpassing day of continued Con-gressional nothingness clearlyshows House and Senate leaders,then as now, busy as bees plan-ning and implementing detailedaction plans for inaction.

And why not; doing nothinghas been a winning strategy for House and SenateRepublicans. They’ve beaten, or at least fought to astandstill, their hated foe, big government, by goingsmall. Really small — as in nothing.

Even when Congress does something it manages todo next to nothing. For example, from 2011 through2013, the House Ag Committee held 10 hearings onhow the Commodity Futures Trading Commissionwould implement the futures market reformsincluded in the sweeping, 2010 Dodd-Frank financialreform law. At the same time, the committee beganto stitch together a comprehensive reauthorizationbill that both gave the agency five more years of lifewhile folding in the hotly debated Dodd-Frankreforms. That bill finally cleared the full House onJune 24, 2014, which was a not-surprising ninemonths after the CFTC’s statutory authority expiredSept. 30, 2013.

Once the Republican-dominated CFTC bill hit theDemocratically-controlled Senate, however, the gla-cial pace of reauthorization froze. Senate Ag Com-mittee boss Debbie Stabenow of Michigan said theHouse bill lacked a more permanent “funding mecha-nism” and added “new layers of administrative bur-dens” intended to hamstring Dodd-Frank reformsnecessary to “effectively regulate these markets.”

Unhappy with the House bill but unable to musterSenate votes to pass its own version, Stabenow founda classic Capitol Hill way out: she did nothing. Thebill died when the 113th Congress adjourned earlylast winter.

And it remains dead, 19 months after the CFTC’s

authority to regulate the U.S.futures market, estimated at$25 trillion per year, ended.

(The CFTC continues to operate under “implied”authority because Congress continues to fund it.)

The global derivatives market, however, couldn’tbe more alive. The CFTC estimates that the“notional,” or theoretical, value of all derivatives

Congress playing ‘kick the can’ with CFTC reauthorization

HAGEN, from pg. 2what we get; we make a life by what we give.” Onhumor: “A government bureau is the nearest thingwe’ll ever see to eternal life on this earth. The gov-ernment’s view of the economy can be summed up ina few short phrases. If it moves, tax it. If it keepsmoving, regulate it. If it stops moving, subsidize it.”

And perhaps Reagan’s strongest comment: “Myoptimism comes not just from my strong faith inGod, but from my strong and enduring faith in man.”

So despite the squeezing economy, have a greatyear, farmers. It’s your success that primes the pumpfor the rest of us.

GUEBERT, from pg. 3traded in 2013 was $223 trillion, dou-ble the amount traded in 2010.

Worse, as a rolling series of market scandals —2008’s global financial crisis, 2012 London inter-bank rate price fixing, the foreign currency marketfraud of the same year — show, these volatile,mostly unregulated markets impact everythingfrom home mortgage rates in Des Moines to bondprices in Athens.

Closer to farm and ranch country, the ebb and flowof massive amounts of unmonitored, unregulatedmoney into U.S. futures markets has affected farmand food prices, also.

A February 2015 research paper published byGrowmark, a $10-billion, Illinois-based regionalfarm cooperative, explained the effect this way: “…the driver of ever higher prices is large sums of

money entering commodity marketsfrom outside institutions and other

financial markets. Though money flowsare not part of commodity basics, they are most defi-nitely part of the fundamentals — probably the mostimportant part.”

These new “flows” are “the embodiment of addi-tional demand” but this new demand “is monetary,not physical.” And since these flows are purely finan-cial — completely unrelated to either supply ordemand hedging or hedgers — they “move pricesregardless of what the news is or whether there isany news at all.”

What and who are behind all this?In an April 7 “Thinking Forward” blog post, our

good friend Steve Suppan at the Institute for Agri-culture and Trade Policy lays the blame on “financialspeculators” who “chronically exceed position limits”

which then “distort prices for commercial hedgers,often to a degree where they fail to manage theirprice risks.”

That failure, writes Suppan, “if prolonged, can bedevastating at every point of a commodity supplychain from producer to consumer.”

How long is prolonged?Don’t ask Congress. It has had four years to incor-

porate Dodd-Frank into derivative regulations andnearly two years to reauthorize the CFTC and it’sstill no closer to finding an answer.

Meanwhile, the next financial scandal gets closerevery day.

BeanThere

DoneThat

The Haarstads — Rothsay, Minn. John Haarstad jokingly describes

himself as a “lazy farmer,” growing cornand soybeans on a farm six milessoutheast of Rothsay, Minn.

While growing “just” corn and beansprobably doesn’t qualify a producer as“lazy,” livestock was once an integral partof his family farm.

“Grandpa quit cows in the early ’50s,” he said.From then on the farm was strictly a cash cropoperation. Growing up on the farm Haarstad said hewas pretty sure he wanted to farm. In high school healready had a few of his own acres.

After high school, Haarstad got the opportunity togo to Australia for nine weeks and take part infarming “Down Under.” After that there was noturning back

“I’ve been farming since ’94,” he said. Haarstad and his father, Michael, are in their

fourth year of farming together. His brother, Paul,works off the farm but is becoming a larger part ofthe operation. The brothers do the planting eachspring.

Haarstad and his wife, Angela, have two sons,Kaden and Isaac, and a daughter, Hailey.

Kaden is 10 and “really interested” in farming,said Haarstad. Unfortunately in this age ofbig, expensive machinery, he said there’s“no small jobs that I would trust a 10-year-old with.” Still, Kaden helps outwhen he can.

Already in the field as of April 13,Haarstad is choosing to be optimisticabout this growing season. “It’s a new year

and you never know what can happen,” he said.Unfortunately with this new year comes the fact

that soil moisture is very low, partly due to a lack ofsnow this past winter.

“We are really dry here,” he said. “I don’t know ifwe had six inches of snow this year.”

Haarstad is holding off planting until the windsettles some, as he doesn’t want to lose precioustopsoil. Once conditions are right, he’ll be plantingwith a 60-foot planter this year, with the goal to haveall the corn planted in five or six days.

While wind, rain, or the lack thereof, can all because for a chaotic spring, Haarstad said, “I enjoythe stress of spring work.”

Nothing beats the smell of freshly turned dirt, hesaid.

Simple things for a not-so-lazy farmer.

The Froemmings — Garfield, Minn. Even though Rodney Froemming grew

up on a farm, that didn’t mean farmingwas going to be his only occupation.

“I tried a bunch of other things too,” hesaid.

From working as a mortician for 10years to a John Deere mechanic for 19,Froemming has enjoyed working both onand off the farm.

He has now been farming five miles north ofGarfield, Minn., since 1975, growing corn,soybeans, wheat, alfalfa and rye.

Froemming and wife, Mary, have two children —Patty, who lives in Sioux Falls, S.D., and Janelle,who lives in Alexandria, Minn.

Besides farming his own land, he also does “a fairamount of custom work.” That includes custom

combining and haying.This spring has been a dry one on the

Froemming farm. As of mid-April, “Wehaven’t had any rain this spring,” he said.

The lack of rain allowed Froemming tofinish planting corn on April 17; he alsohad all his wheat planted by April 10. Hewas hoping to plant less corn this spring,but instead he “had to go with more corn

this year to keep our rotation up.” He will wait until ground temperatures warm up to

plant soybeans. So far, compared to last year, he’sahead of schedule.

Froemming said he looks “forward to spring;always optimistic.” He’ll need that optimism, as themoisture situation has become critical.

Rain or no rain, he said, “Field conditions arepretty good, and work conditions are excellent.”

Meet the “Southern” five FTF’ers in your next issue!

The Lees — McIntosh, Minn. Last September ushered in change on the Lee

farm in rural McIntosh, Minn. Joan Lee and herhusband, Mark, sold their organic dairyoperation. Their youngest child, Samantha,graduated from high school in 2012 and afterthat it was hard to find help — plus Lee saidthere are “other things we want to do.”

The Lees wanted to keep the herd together and remain organic. Shehad a friend who knew someone who wanted an organic herd. All ofthe buyer’s guidelines fit Lee’s and it ended up being the perfect fitfor all involved.

She isn’t sitting on a porch swing taking in the scenery all day.Besides being a Polk County Commissioner, Lee grows organic hay,corn, oats and possibly soybeans this year, as well as conventionalwheat and beans.

Lee was born and raised on a dairy farm near Princeton, Minn. Itwas through an agricultural magazine that Lee met Mark, even though“I was one of those that said I was never going to marry a farmer.”

The publication put out a farm dating book and some of Lee’s co-workers encouraged her to put her information in the book.

“I started receiving letters from different guys. Mark wrote in

September 1985 and I wrote back,” she said. Mark proposed the following April and they got married in October

1986. They live on Mark’s parents’ farm.Lee and Mark have three children: Rebecca, who works in

Minneapolis at Gander Mountain corporate office; Joseph, who worksat Polaris in Wyoming, Minn.; and Samantha, a junior at the Universityof Minnesota.

Spring work was in full swing on the Lee farm as of April 14. “Mark has been working up some land,” Lee said. They are getting

fertilizer from one of their neighbors who has pigs. Mark is alsoplowing up some hay ground.

As planting is about to begin, “Moisture is definitely going to be aconcern,” she said.

Though this spring may not be so hectic with the absence of thedairy herd, Lee is hoping she will not feel like she is being pulled in somany directions. She and Mark “still haven’t figured our new normalyet.”

Lee relishes spring on the farm. “I love that smell when the dirt first gets turned over,” she said. If the weather cooperates it shouldn’t be long until that fragrant

smell will be in the air. Lee knows, though, that planting is “definitelyat the mercy of Mother Nature.”

The Pulks — Wannaska, Minn. A southern Minnesota guy and his family

take a chance and move to far northernMinnesota to live his dream of farming.Doesn’t sound like the typical Minnesota farmproducer story but it is Andy Pulk’s story.

Raised in New Prague, Pulk was alwayshelping his grandfather on his farm. It wasn’t until after collegethat he started doing Conservation Reserve Program managementthat led to custom farming in the New Prague area.

An opportunity to farm near Wannaska, Minn., arose, so Pulk,his wife Heidi and young family headed north.

Getting used to a new area, different ground, even differentcrops was all part of the learning experience for him. With fiveyears of farming in northern Minnesota under his belt, he’s readyto take spring planting head on.

Pulk grows corn, soybeans, spring wheat with grass seed underseeded and sunflowers.

“Last year was my first year of grass seeding,” he said. He has found that “grass seeds are proving very good for us up

here.” Currently the grass seed is dormant in the ground, Pulk saidhe is hoping for “for no winter kill on the seed.” Only time will tell.

The couple has five little future farmers: Sarah, 6; Madi, 3;Emily, 2; and twin boys Henry and John who will turn 1 in July.While the kids may not be able to help farm yet, Pulk’s brother-in-law comes from the Twin Cities every spring to help with planting,as well as two high school kids and one full-time employee.

Pulk has found that the temperature in Wannaska is usually 10degrees cooler than his old stomping grounds down south. Evenwith cooler temperatures Wannaska is now home.

“The community up here is similar to New Prague when I grewup,” he said. “There’s lots of young families here.”

Pulk is involved in the local community and served on theNorthwest Grain board of directors for the last two years, which hasbeen a learning experience.

“I’m one of the younger board members. We have a nice mix ofages on our boards,” he said.

On April 13, Pulk said he was still two weeks out from “reallygetting rolling” in the field. Until then, he said he will be feeling“the anxiety of scheduling and planning.”

Pulk knows that there’s just nothing better than “when the seedsare popping out of the ground.”

The Filzens — Renville, Minn. Dale Filzen has been farming on his own

since 1991, six miles south of Renville, Minn.He grew up on a farm just two miles down theroad. He knew that farming was in his future.

“None of the older brothers did it, so Ithought I better,” he said.

Filzen’s farming operation consists of corn, soybeans, sugar beetsand navy beans. He’s been growing those same crops for at least 10years.

Besides farming his own ground, Filzen also does customplanting and harvesting.

“I’ve done some custom work for 10 years,” he said. Filzen isalso a Mycogen Seed dealer, something he’s been doing for 18years.

Despite the consistency of his operation, each year is a littledifferent on the farm, and this spring is no exception.

As of April 14, Filzen reported “There’s a fair amount of sugarbeets and corn going in.”

Conditions have been favorable for planting. “It’s probably theearliest I’ve started,” he said. He likes to get corn planted by April20.

A seasoned producer like Filzen knows that “We could see quitea bit of snow yet.” So for now, he said he has put a couple fields inand will see how that goes.

His forecast for this year’s growing season? “I would have to saytoday there’s potential for a good crop.”

Filzen expects to get the crops planted within a two-week span.During that time he will be taking in the wonderment that is springplanting.

“I like getting out there and smelling the freshly worked dirt,” hesaid.

Filzen and wife, Tina, have three daughters — Emily, Katie andMelody.

Springwood Gardens is a daylily paradise thatsits atop a bluff overlooking the Minnesota Rivervalley. These are not public gardens that you canjust drive into and look around, although there aretours by appointment. It is the home of Karol andDick Emmerich.

It is also where Karol Emmerichis carrying out her passion to bringbeauty to our northern world, devel-oping northern-hardy daylilies.

But, you may think, we alreadyhave daylilies that grow profuselyin our climate, and you’re right,especially if you like yellow andorange blooms. Emmerich, how-ever, had bigger ideas.

“I wanted to do something that no one has seenbefore,” she said. “I wanted to have really, reallyfancy things like you saw in the South, so I mixedthe things I like from the North with the thingsfrom the South. I had a lot of misses, but I was ableto bring a couple things to the North, which is thevery frilly edges and instant rebloom.”

The frilly edges are technically called teeth.Rebloom means the plant grows a second stalk orscape. Emmerich’s are what she calls “instantrebloom,” meaning the second scape is emergingwhile the first one is blooming. One that rebloomslater in the season is not as workable in Min-nesota’s short growing season.

“All of my hybrids do instant rebloom in other(warmer) parts of the country; probably 60 percentdo it here in Minnesota,” she said.

Along with a fancier bloom, Emmerich has bred awhole palette of colors into her daylilies, and mostof her blooms are color combinations.

She currently has 25,000 plants growing in thegarden. She starts her new hybrids in the green-house and in the spring they are moved outdoors.

“I have seven or eight kids who strip the green-house in a couple of days and plant as fast as wecan,” she said. “I used to do 5,500 new seedlings ayear, now I’m just doing 3,000. I’m getting tired;running out of room.”Record keeper

Emmerich has been at this for about 20 years, andat her present location near Jordan, Minn., for 15years. She was in her mid-40s and at the pinnacle ofher profession as a vice president and treasurer ofthe then Dayton-Hudson Corporation, when sheretired because she “needed more color in my lifeinstead of just black and white.”

Instead of studying spreadsheets, she offered freecoaching for executive directors of faith-based non-profits. She did part of the coaching at her Edina,Minn., home, where her garden had grown to twoacres. Many folks stopped by to see it, and many vis-itors would ask about the names of the flowers, notall of which seemed that inspired to her.

She had friends who suggested she breed flowers,because then she could name then. Emmerich

thought, “Oh, yeah, and name them after my girl-friends. I wanted to have serious names.”

She decided to take up the challenge, although shehad no background in horticulture. In fact, she didn’tlike biology, which is why she majored in math andfinance.

“I have no interest at all in the science of this(breeding),” she said. “I apprenticed back in 1998-99a few months a year with someone who knew whatthey were doing. It’s not that hard. It’s a lot of recordkeeping, and I’m a master record keeper.”

Her studies and career had given her training inkeeping good records and in logic, and one reasonbuyers turn to Springwood hybrids is because thegenetics can be precisely traced.

“More than half of my plants go to other breeders,because of my record keeping,” she said. “I know whatplants do and can do. I have one with good teeth calledGnashing of Teeth, so people who are looking to doteeth with good color, they know I’ve already run itthrough its paces. Or one looking for blue eyes will getmy Desire of Nations. Ones who want really deep sat-urated purple will get one I call Sola Deo Gloria. Oneof my earliest ones was called Heartbeat of Heaven,and that would put ruffles on anything in the north,give it instant rebloom and good branching.”Blooming market

The breeders who buy her plants are often hobby-ists, backyard breeders who want to create some-thing unique in their garden. But they are serioushobbyists, because her plants average $100 a piece.The buyers often recoup that expense by selling theextra plants they breed, often through an online auc-

tion sponsored by the American Hemerocallis Soci-ety, also called the American Daylily Society.

She doesn’t sell directly from her website becauseshe wants to make certain her buyers have a goodexperience. They can send an e-mail and tell herwhat they want, and she will work with them todetermine the best selection.

Emmerich feels she and her husband were blessedin that they both selected careers in finance, whichat the time was as good a career as any, but over timebecame one of the highest paying. They were able tosave their money and retire early.

She seems to be having too much fun to retire fromdaylily breeding any time soon. “I push the envelopea lot,” she said. Mixing tender Southern genetics toget the fanciness and Minnesota genetics to get har-diness, there are more varieties yet to blossom.

You may have noticed that many of the namesEmmerich has given to her blooms have a biblicalconnotation.

“Yes, the names are the reason I started hybridiz-ing,” she said with a smile. “I wanted people to thinkabout them when they looked at the name tags intheir garden, and be inspired.”

More of Karol Emmerich’s philosophy and goals, aswell as history and photos of Springwood Gardens,are at www.springwoodgardens.com. She talks abouthow to breed flowers on a segment of Prairie Yardand Garden, a Pioneer Public Television production,which can be viewed on YouTube by searching for“Prairie Yard & Garden: Daylilies,” or simply typing“Karol Emmerich.” The American Hemerocallis Soci-ety website is www.daylilies.org. ❖

By TIM KINGThe Land Correspondent

AMES, Iowa — Ajay Nair, assistant professor ofsustainable vegetable production at Iowa State Uni-versity, is convinced that sweet potatoes can begrown in Iowa and parts of Minnesota — and he hasthe data to prove it.

Sweet potatoes are a tropical plant and in theUnited States they are associated with warm localesthat have long growing seasons, like Georgia, Missis-sippi and Louisiana, but not Iowa or Minnesota.

Fortunately for gardeners and adventurous farm-ers, Nair’s research and variety trials in recent yearshave put the conventional wisdom about sweetpotato production in the North Country to rest.

In 2012 Nair and his research staff harvested justover 18,000 pounds per acre of Grade 1 Evangelinesweet potato tubers. Grade 1 sweet potatoes arethree to nine inches long and 2.25 to 3.5 inches indiameter. Evangeline, which Nair describes as hav-ing light rose skin and intense deep orange coloredflesh, also yielded a remarkable 3,929 pounds ofJumbo tubers.

The Beauregard variety, which looks quite similarto Evangeline, yielded 14,661 pounds of Grade 1tubers and 3,428 pounds of Jumbo tubers. Nair andhis team also trialed Covington, Diane and Hernan-dez, of which Diane and Hernandez did not performwell. Interestingly, Beauregard significantly outper-formed Evangeline in Grade 1 and Jumbo tubers in2014 trials. However, Beauregard had the least

sugar of any of the varieties that the Nair teamtried.

Yields similar to Nair’s could cause a farmer pleas-ant problems.

“If you’re growing half an acre, or let’s say one-

fourth of an acre, you have 5,000 pounds,” he said.“So, before growing, find a market.”Growing methods

The methods that Nair used to obtain those yieldswere somewhat different than would have beenused in sweet potato fields in the Mississippi Delta.

“We used raised beds for better drainage, quicker

SWEET POTATOES, from pg. 9warming of the soil, and increased soil tem-perature which we absolutely needed,” Nairsaid.

Sweet potatoes in the Delta often usetrench irrigation or overhead sprinklers.Nair’s team used drip irrigation, which wasplaced on top of the raised bed and underblack plastic mulch. The plastic mulch alsohelped raise soil temperatures. Beds were raised,drip hose laid, and plastic put down in one pass ofthe tractor.

“The plastic mulch laying machine that we have isalso a raised bed maker,” Nair said.

In 2014, Nair experimented with different colorsof plastic mulch. He found little difference in sweetpotato yields on black, red or olive plastic. Greenmulch treatments yielded slightly lower yields ofGrade 1 tubers. Sweet potatoes on white plastic andon bare ground did not yield well.

Many commercial growers plant tuber pieces in amanner similar to planting Irish potatoes. Nair’steam planted sweet potato slips. Slips are a rootedpiece of stem with a few leaves on them. They areplanted like a tomato or green pepper transplant.

In 2012, Nair’s team planted the slips throughholes in the plastic mulch on June 1. They plantedon May 23 in 2014.

Conventional wisdom has it that sweet potatoplants should be planted a foot apart.

“The experiment we conducted evaluatedfour in-row spacings: 6, 9, 12 and 15 inches,”Nair said. “We wanted to capture the wholespectrum to see how spacing affects yieldsand the quality of the tuberous root. Lastyear I used both 9 and 12 inches for my stud-ies as it correlates well with quality and theoverall look of the final product.”

“In our studies both 9- and 12-inch spacingproduced statistically similar root yields of

Grade 1 tuberous roots,” Nair said. “There were morejumbo-sized tubers in 12-inch spacing than in 9-inchspacing. Jumbo tuberous roots might be good for pro-cessing or fries in restaurants but not for direct-to-market consumers.”

Nair harvested the potatoes in mid-September byfirst mowing the vines and then digging them with atractor-mounted tool called an undercutter.

“The undercutter cuts under the sweet potatoplants and gently lifts them up,” he said. “We then goand pick them up by hand with minimal resistance.The person driving the tractor with the undercutterhas to keep straight or else it could slice the tuber-ous roots.”

The University of Georgia suggests using a one-bottom plow with the tip removed to dig sweet pota-toes. Gardeners can use a spading fork but, like thetractor driver, must be careful. Sweet potato tubersare often deeper than Irish potatoes.Curing

Short of selling or eating your sweet potatoes, cur-

ing is the final step in growing them.“It is important to cure sweet potatoes for longer

storage,” Nair said. “Ideal curing needs 10 to 14 daysat 85 F and about 90 percent relative humidity andthen stored at about 55 F. This will provide five to sixmonths of storage.”

Most gardeners and small farmers will find it diffi-cult to provide ideal storage conditions in mid-Sep-tember. The primary purpose of curing is to heal har-vest injuries so that the sweet potatoes remain ingood condition for winter storage, according to theUniversity of Georgia. Harvest nicks and scratcheswill heal somewhat below 85 F but not at all below55 F, according to the university.

Glenn Drownes, who has been growing sweet pota-toes near Calamus, Iowa, for 30 years, has someinteresting tips about curing at his Sandhill Preser-vation Center website.

“The best way to cure them is to dig and do notwash,” he writes. “Then carefully lay them out in awarm area for a week or so to cure. Next, place themin the storage container. Do not just toss them in asthat will cause bruising and they won’t keep as well.We use plastic tubs and place them in a location thatis above 60 F. If you store them in a place cooler than55 F the fungi go wild and thrive on the sugary roots.”

Drownes, who recommends late planting, has alarge variety of unusual and early season sweetpotato varieties available for purchase at sandhillp-reservation.com. Beauregard and Evangeline areavailable in a number of seed catalogues. Garden-sized drip irrigation and plastic mulch tools areavailable from Johnny’s Select Seeds and other gar-den supply companies. ❖

A Stearns County, Minn., farm couple hada court case brought against them by theMinnesota Department of NaturalResources and Stearns County Environ-mental Services Department dismissedafter being wrongly charged for violating awetland on their property.

Sauk Centre farmers Jean and PatFiedler found themselves — and neighbor HowardMarthaler, who had stopped to help repair drain tile— as defendants in a criminal case. Jean Fiedlerand Marthaler were repairing 66 feet of drain tile ina 120-foot-wide buffer on Nov. 9, 2014, when a DNRofficer stopped by and told Fiedler his buffer was acertified wetland.Charged

Ten days later, the Fiedlers and Marthaler werecharged with being in violation of a certified wet-land, despite a federal permit that stated he did nothave a wetland on his farm. By the time the casewas dismissed in a 10-minute hearing on March 18,the Fiedlers had incurred $7,138 in legal fees andcourt costs.

“Charging my neighbor with a crime did not sitwell with me,” said Fiedler, “especially becausethere was a 12-inch snow storm pending and he hadonly stopped to help. So from the day this started Iwas not going to let the DNR use power to abuse myfriend and neighbor.”

It all started on July 14, 2014, when Fiedlerapplied for a 1026 Natural Resources ConservationService permit for permission to clean a portion ofthe ditch and repair drain tile. On Aug. 27 hereceived a new federal approved wetland determi-nation stating there are no wetlands on his farm.Federal permission was granted to complete thework.

While finishing the tile repair with his neighbor’sassistance, a DNR officer drove by, stopped and

declared to Fiedler that all grass ditch buffers withwater running in tile lines across them are now con-sidered to be a new wetland, regardless what docu-mentation or permits a landowner may have. TheDNR officer cited recent training and experience.

“I was surprised to learn that DNR now had comeup with a new wetland determination method thatclassifies tile lines as wetlands if there is water run-ning in them,” said Fiedler. “He also told me myneighbor had no right to help me unless he firstapplied for special permit from the county. He thensaid he was going to write up a criminal citation forthis assumed violation with my neighbor HowardMarthaler named as the person committing theassumed crime.”

Fiedler said the young DNR officer did not under-stand federal or state laws regarding wetlands anddrainage. Fiedler told the officer that he has anNRCS permit and the federal wetland determinationthat there were no wetlands on his farm.

“This officer then told me the grass bufferappeared to be a wetland and he would be askingGreg Bechtold, Stearns County Environmental Ser-vices Director, to review his conclusion so he couldissue a citation,” said Fiedler. “With less than oneyear’s experience this DNR officer basically statedhe does his own wetland determinations and did notwant to know the facts.”

Throughout the next week, the DNR officer refusedto meet with Fiedler. Fiedler learned that DNR andthe County Environmental Services Departmentstaff were on the same page, but Fiedler said theydid not even have copies of NRCS and MinnesotaBoard of Water and Soil Resources rules.

“They have no respect for the landowner; not even

bothering to give me a call,” said Fiedler.In a conversation with Stearns County Environ-

mental Services, Fiedler was told that the county isrequired to convert grass buffers that have not beenfarmed in over 10 years into wetlands and add themto the National Wetland inventory. Fiedler offered tosend his permits and maps to county staff.

“They told me my federal determinations and per-mits do not mean anything to them,” he said. “I thenasked that they send me a copy of the new maps theyhave created and mark the location of my violation.Staff sent the map but refused to mark where theviolations were.”

Upon seeing the maps, Fiedler said he realizedStearns County had no idea what they were doing;that it appeared that both the county and DNRchose to ignore the documents; and the county didnot get along with NRCS. The end result was a crim-inal citation for violating a wetland.

“I was completely shocked,” said Fiedler. “I did notrealize Stearns County could create their own set ofrules and ignore federal and state law. I am very dis-appointed to now realize county staff is not there tohelp Stearns County residents with fair treatment.Their goal is to side with the DNR.”Legal battle

Fiedler hired St. Cloud, Minn., attorney KurtDeter, an expert in land and water cases. Deteradvised Fiedler to plead not guilty and requested aDemand of Disclosure which requires all communi-cations to be made available to the defendant.

Stearns County Environmental Services wrote toFiedler informing him that its office had no controlover ticketing. However, the DNR cannot write acitation without county recommendation, explainedFiedler.

On Dec. 12, Fiedler reported that the DNR beganmaking harassing phone calls and making visits toneighbors.

Later that month, Fiedler met with legislators atthe state Capitol. He talked to Rep. Paul Anderson,chairman of the House Ag Committee; Rep. Denny

See DISMISSED, pg. 13

I did not realize StearnsCounty could create theirown set of rules and ignorefederal and state law.

DISMISSED, from pg. 12McNamara, chairman of Environmen-tal Services Committee; John Jaschke,executive director of the MinnesotaBWSR; and Major Greg Salo, enforce-ment chief for Minnesota DNR.

In January, Fiedler requested copiesof the rules between BWSR and NRCSfrom Stearns County staff, who wroteback stating they were not aware ofany rules. So Fiedler sent the rules toStearns staff and then met with Envi-ronmental Services staff to point outmistakes. On Jan. 20, Fiedler saidcounty staff acknowledged the work hewas doing on 66 feet of tile in a bufferdid meet a Wetland Conservation Actexemption.

“I asked ‘Where were these ruleswhen this first started? And why wasthe DNR officer not informed of thisexemption on day one?’” said Fiedler.“But another big surprise, after send-ing me the exemption in writing, theDNR decided to continue pursuingcriminal charges.”

A pretrial was set for Jan. 26, butthat morning the county attempted aplea bargain and a reduction from$280 to $50 fine, and criminal chargesto a petty misdemeanor.

“That would have required me toplead guilty,” said Fiedler. “I refused toplead guilty and wanted a trial. I had-n’t broken any laws. The wrong peoplewere being put on trial. The countystaff were the ones not following thelaw.”

A new trial date was set for March18. Fiedler reviewed the evidence thecounty provided the court.

“The field map they were using tocharge me was black and white, andtotally unreadable and encompasses320 acres,” said Fiedler.

He requested a map with a zoom onthe 10-acre area involved and said hewas shocked at the staff response thatthe data was not “in our field, and wearen’t the ‘responsible authority’ forthat data.”

“How absurd,” Fiedler said, “afterover four months they now said theydid not even know where I was diggingand did not have any information intheir file. In my mind there was noquestion they had the information,knew it is wrong, so refused to help.”

Next, Fiedler copied from the inter-net larger-scale maps showing thelocation and marked their mistakes.

“Knowing staff would not agree withmy interpretation, I also sent larger

clean unmarked maps and asked themto mark on the maps what they hadbeen charging me with,” he said. “Theyrefused to identify anything on thelarger maps. Seemed to me that as thecover up got worse they had no place toturn and hide.”

The county responded with a letterfrom its attorney.

“Their attorney called me a criminala number of times in his letter to me,”said Fiedler, “and said the county didnot need to provide me with any infor-mation.”

On March 18, in Stearns CountyJudge Vicki Landwehr’s courtroom,Stearns County Environmental Ser-vices and DNR requested a continu-ance. Landwehr denied the requestand dismissed the case.

“These people have been trustedwith great power and chose to oversteptheir bounds,” Fiedler said. “Fairnesswithin our legal system has been tiltedso far away from the individual thatmost people have no chance. ... I felt itwas finally necessary for the good of allMinnesota farmers for someone to stepup and stop the DNR’s abuse of power.”Buffer Initiative

Fiedler voiced concerns regardingGov. Dayton’s Buffer Initiative, espe-cially if the DNR is the law enforcer.He said that given his recent experi-ence with the department, it will be asad day for Minnesota citizens if theinitiative becomes law. Fiedler said hisgoal is to get government back insidethe lines.

Ironically, in 1988 the Fiedlersreceived the Outstanding Conserva-tion Farmers Award from the StearnsCounty Soil and Water ConservationDistrict. In 1989, this farm couple wasthe Minnesota state winner of theNational Endowment Soil & WaterConservation program.

They noted soil moisture and erosionproblems on their 1,600-acre farmabout 10 years earlier, and switchedfrom standard moldboard plowing to a

deep tillage system providing betterabsorption of rainfall, virtually zerorun-off of soil and nutrients, withresulting higher corn yields andgreater net profits.

Today Fiedler Farms is a 3,500-acrebusiness. Daughter Pam and husbandBob Gierke along with son Paul and

wife Steph Fiedler raise 90,000 hogs.Wildlife hasn’t been forgotten

either. Field wind breaks, wildlife foodplots and wetland restoration projectsare now part of their farming land-scape which also includes the produc-tion of several thousand hogs eachyear. ❖

on succession and transition planning, with ideas oneverything from laying the foundation throughimplementing the different phases. The first columndiscussed a holistic approach. This column addresseshow to approach the economics of transition plan-ning.

The grain industry has enjoyedfavorable economics the past fewyears. Currently, compressedmargins are creating a challeng-ing economic environment, forc-ing businesses to scrutinize theiroperation’s financial decisionsmore carefully.

Relative to succession and tran-sition planning the economicsand financial decision makingcauses businesses to pause andtake a look at what makes senselong-term.

At the industry level, grain industry economics typ-ically tend to ebb and flow. Transition planning mustconsider impacts of poor years and position the oper-ation for making sound decisions and leveraginghigher profitability in good years.

At the personal level, a clear understanding of thebusinesses historical financial records provides thefoundation for planning for the future. Transparentconversations between the generations will allowknowledge transfer and shared decisions. Criticalquestions must be addressed to design a transitionplan that everyone believes will provide the bestchances of being successful for the long haul.

The average corn plantingpace for April 26 is 25 percentcomplete, but estimates are running 17-19 percentdue to wet conditions in the mid-South and cooltemperatures around the Corn Belt. We need to seecontinued planting progress to avoid sharpening ofpencils to cut acreage. The next six to 10 day fore-casts look warmer and drier which should pushplanting along. Traders expect corn planting tocatch up to average by the first week of May.

Corn production estimates for South America con-tinue to climb which casts a shadow on demand forU.S. supplies. Argentina added another 3.5 millionmetric tons of corn export licenses to a surplus worldmarket. The Ag Ministry in Argentina is forecastingtheir corn crop at 30 mmt, unchanged from theirprevious projection. The U.S. Department of Agricul-ture is carrying them at 24 mmt.

Livestock AnglesMeat complex

rebuildingThere comes a time when the division between

hogs and cattle as separate markets must be droppedand looked at as the entire meat complex. This wouldalso include the poultry side of the meat productionto make a full assessment of the condition of theentire industry.

After months of tight cattlesupplies, as well as disease-reduced hog supplies and con-tractions in poultry productiondue to high input costs, theentire meat production is now inthe process of rebuilding itsinventories in all areas.

With feeding costs slowlyimproving, the expansion in allfacets is beginning to accelerate.This will likely increase the totalproduction of meat, whether it bered meat or poultry, in themonths ahead. This will give the consumer morechoices at more than likely different price levels.Therefore the reduction in meat supplies looks to beon the decline during the upcoming months.

Looking at the demand side of the meat complex,there is an interesting scenario building that coulddominate the consumers’ preferences in the monthsahead. This not only will affect the domestic marketbut also the export market.

On the domestic side, the disposable income avail-able in this country has been shrinking over the pastfew years. This will greatly affect what the averagefamily can spend on any given item, including whatis purchased at the grocery store. There is a verylarge disparity in the wholesale price as well as the

NYSTROM, from pg. 14The Buenos Aires Grain Exchange

projects Argentine corn harvest at 26percent complete versus 23 percentlast year and 41 percent on average.They are carrying production at 23mmt, unchanged from their previousforecast.

The International Grain Councilincreased their 2015-16 world cornproduction number from 941 mmt to951 mmt. Last year’s world productionwas 994 mmt. The IGC’s ending stocksnumber of 181 mmt is 10 mmt higherthan the previous estimate.

China is expecting its corn acreage toclimb 3 percent this year. China’sdomestic corn prices are running 30percent higher than world prices dueto their program to support farmers.Their state reserves are estimated at150 mmt, which equates to over eightmonths of usage.

Weekly export sales at 34.2 millionbushels (a nine-week high) were abovethe 16 million bushels per week neededto accomplish the USDA’s 1.8 billionbushel export forecast. Total sales aredown 8 percent compared to a year ago,but the export forecast from the USDAindicates a 6 percent decline.

Weekly ethanol production was upslightly to 273 million gallons. Thisimplies 98 million bushels of corn usedwhich is below what is needed on a perweek basis to satisfy the 5.2 billionbushel corn for ethanol category on thecorn balance sheet. Ethanol stockswere up 29 million gallons at 896 mil-lion gallons.

Corn in general took a hit this week,closing at levels not seen since lastOctober. For the week, May corn wasdown 15 1⁄4 cents at $3.64 1⁄2, July fell17 cents to $3.69 3⁄4 and Decembercorn dropped 15 cents to close at $3.881⁄4 per bushel.

OUTLOOK: Corn fell into prices notseen since last fall. Weather will be thekey to short-term direction. In Maycorn, the next support level isn’t untilcloser to $3.55 3⁄4 per bushel. For Julycorn, first support comes in at $3.63 3⁄4per bushel, then $3.47 per bushel.Resistance in the July contract is thisweek’s high at $3.88 1⁄2 per bushel.December corn support is $3.81, then$3.64 per bushel; resistance is thisweek’s high at $4.04 3⁄4 per bushel.Basis was firm this week on extremelyslow grower selling. Late in the week,there did seem to be interest in thesummer months from end users. Thenew daily trading limit for corn, effec-tive May 1, will rise from 25 cents to 30cents per bushel. The new limit will bein effect until Nov. 1, when it will bereevaluated.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans began theweek by extending last week’s rally,but were unable to extend those gainsuntil the latter half of the week. Thereport from Iowa where 5.3 millionchickens were infected with bird flu,the largest outbreak so far, helpedlimit upside potential. This brings thetotal number of broilers and turkeysinfected to 7.3 million nationwide.

Last year, the United States pro-duced 9.2 billion chickens and 235 mil-lion turkeys. Based on last year’s pro-duction and the number affected so far,less than one tenth of 1 percent hasbeen impacted. Iowa is the biggest eggproducing state in the United Stateswith 58.5 million layers. The UnitedStates has 205 million layers as ofMarch 1, 2015. Laying chickens con-sume 1.5 pounds of feed per week,turkeys four to five pounds of feed perweek per bird. All in, it has been esti-mated that less than 2.5 millionbushels of soybean use and under 7million bushels of corn use have beenlost due to the bird flu outbreak. Min-nesota and Wisconsin each declared a

state of emergency due to reportedbird flu cases. Poultry accounts for 35percent of corn used for feed.

Argentine growers were holding soy-beans off the market in hopes that theOctober presidential elections will leadto a devaluation of the peso. Thiswould make their exportable cropmore valuable. This week, however,saw soybean sales increase with har-vest approaching half done.

The Buenos Aires Grain Exchangehas Argentina’s bean production at58.5 mmt with harvest 46 percentcomplete, which compares to 48 per-cent complete on average. The Argen-tine Ag Ministry has production at 59mmt and the USDA is at 57 mmt.Brazilian truckers went on strike April24 with 17 blockades reported. Thestrike in March saw 100-plus road-blocks. This strike is a result of thefailure of the government and truckersto strike an accord for freight ratesand diesel prices. The trucker strikeneeds to last at least a week to be ofany significance, but ports reportedlyhave four weeks of supply.

China last weekend lowered theamount of cash reserve banks musthold with the intention to spark morelending and support their economy.Soybean acreage in China this year isanticipated to fall by the highest per-centage in decades with estimates run-ning at 10 percent to 15 percent. Chinaproduced just 12.4 mmt of soybeans

last year.The IGC upped their world 2015-16

world soybean production by 3 mmt to317 mmt and ending stocks up 3 mmtto 47 mmt. China only has 6.8 millionbushels left to take from the UnitedStates and these are expected to berolled into next year or canceled. Thisdoes not include any sales in theunknown category. Weekly exportsales were 3.8 million bushels. Weneed 2.7 million bushels per week ofsales to reach the USDA forecast of1.79 billion bushels of exports.

First official soybean planting willbe reported this coming week. Lastyear 3 percent of the soybean wasplanted by April 28 and this year theyare expecting 1 to 2 percent complete.

OUTLOOK: Support in the Maycontract is unchanged at $9.45 to$9.50 with resistance at $9.90 perbushel. Support in July soybeans is$9.49 with resistance at $9.97 1⁄2 perbushel. Support in November soy-beans is the contract low at $9.27 1⁄2per bushel with resistance at $9.78per bushel. Basis was slightly lowerdespite minimal sales from thefarmer. Fund short covering wasnoted this week which helped supportthe market. They were holding arecord short position according to theApril 17 Commitment of Tradersreport. The daily trading limit forsoybeans effective May 1 was leftunchanged at 70 cents per bushel. ❖

Avian flu in Iowa limited soybean price potential

TEALE, from pg. 14consumer price in the meat counter.The gap between beef prices and therest of the meat complex is at thewidest level in many years. This hasalready hurt beef sales in recentmonths and will likely continue untilthis wide gap narrows.

The advantage on the consumer levelat this time would lean toward thepork and poultry, which seem to bemaintaining a better consumerdemand for their products than beef.

In the export picture the strong U.S.dollar has reduced demand by foreignbuyers in all meats over the pastmonths, and will likely only return ifand when the U.S. dollar contractsfrom current levels.

As a result, the months ahead shouldbring about many changes in theprices in all meats including beef, porkand poultry. Producers in all sectors ofmeat production should keep attune toany change in developments in themarketplace and protect inventoriesas needed. ❖

U.S. milk production con-tinues to top year ago levelsbut may be slowing. Prelim-inary data in this week’sMarch Milk Productionreport shows output in thetop 23 producing states at16.9 billion pounds, up 1.1percent from March 2014.

March cow numbers inthe 23 states, at 8.62million head, were down4,000 head from Febru-ary but 86,000 more than a year ago.

HighGround Dairy’s Eric Meyersays: “While the United States as awhole is still pumping out more milk,and a lot more in some states, overallgrowth has diminished and the milk-ing herd is worth watching as itdecreased versus the prior month forthe first time since November 2013.”

March output per cow in the23 states averaged 1,959pounds, up just two poundsfrom March 2014, and thehighest production per cow forthe month of March since the23 State series began in 2003.

Meanwhile dairy cowculling picked up in March,according to U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture’s Live-stock Slaughter report

which showed an esti-mated 260,700 dairycows were slaughteredunder Federal inspec-

tion in the month, up 18,400 head fromFebruary and 15,000 head more, or 6.1percent more than March 2014. Thefirst quarter saw 778,400 dairy cowsmake their way to hamburger heaven,up 25,900 head from the same period ayear ago.

■

Preliminary data in the March Cold

Storage report issued April 22 showsbutter stocks at 184.3 million pounds,up 6.9 million pounds or 4 percent fromFebruary but 7.5 million pounds or fourpercent below March 2014.

American-type cheese, at 629.5 mil-lion pounds, was down 12.8 millionpounds or two percent from Februaryand 9.6 million pounds or two percentbelow a year ago. The total cheeseinventory on March 31 stood at 1.06billion pounds, virtually unchangedfrom February but 44.4 million poundsor four percent above a year ago.

Dairy traders had to weigh thisweek’s Milk Production and Cold Stor-age reports in view of current demand.The cash Cheddar blocks ended theweek at $1.61 per pound, highest levelsince Dec. 22, up 3.5 cents on the week,ending two weeks of small declines, butstill 60 cents below a year ago whenthey dropped seven cents to $2.21. Thebarrels closed Friday at $1.62, down ahalf centson the week after reachingthe highest level seen since Dec. 1, end-ing four weeks of gain, and are 56 centsbelow a year ago and a penny abovethe blocks, a spread that normallyaverages 3-5 cents below the blocks.

Seven cars of block and only one ofbarrel traded hands this week at theChicago Mercantile Exchange. The lag-ging National Dairy Products SalesReport-surveyed U.S. average blockprice hit $1.5798, up 0.4 cent. The bar-rels averaged $1.6396, up 2.7 cents.

■

Barrel cheese has been “surprisinglytight in the Midwest,” reports DairyMarket News, and has led to somemanufacturers scheduling additionalbarrel production to take advantage ofthe inverted prices. Some Midwestcheese plants are receiving sufficientlyincreased milk volumes to reduce theneed for surplus milk purchases formaintaining desired production levels.

Spot milk is available at $2.00 underclass, says Dairy Market News, andmilk components are seasonally good,providing solid yields.

Cash butter had a good week, finish-ing at $1.83 per pound, up 2.25 centson the week and the highest level sinceFeb. 5, but still 8 cents below a yearago. Nothing sold all week.

NDPSR butter averaged $1.7351,down 0.7 cent. There’s reason for strongbutter prices. While butter demand ismixed, according to Dairy Market News,“most contacts report strong demand.”Some manufacturers are saying salesare down as retail advertisements aredown. Inventories are mixed. Somemanufacturers are building inventoriesfor future obligations and others areunable to as all production is meetingcurrent commitments.

Cream supplies are also mixed, withsome manufacturers reporting thatinstead of selling extra cream, they arechurning butter. Cream demandremains strong from Western butterplants. Increasing milk flow in manyareas has not generated enough creamto satisfy demand at some butterplants. Competing interest from icecream manufacturers is also a factor,according to Dairy Market News.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk evensaw a little strength this week, closingat 93 cents per pound, up a half-cent onthe week but a whopping 92.75 centsbelow a year ago and the lowest spotlevel since August 2009. Seven carstraded hands this week at the CME.NDPSR powder averaged 96.65 centsper pound, down 0.9 cent, and drywhey averaged 45.62 cents per pound,down 0.8 cents.

The sexiest hardy perennialin existence, would likely be anOriental poppy. No otherflower exhibits such pure gor-geousness. Immense, silkyflowers with coal-black centerscome into bloom in early sum-mer and steal the garden scenefor a few weeks.

The huge buds about the sizeof golf balls open so energeti-cally it is like watching a slowmotion scene. Last summer wewatched as the bloom emergedand saw the new crinkled tissue paper like blossomunfold and the bud cups drop off. It was magical.

Oriental poppies come in the familiar scarlet coloras well as orange, pink, plum, salmon and white. Wehave a pink cultivar named Watermelon that hasbeen thriving in our garden for 20 years. They don’tlike to have their roots disturbed so select a plantingsite with care.

Care and Culture:• Family: Papaveracea (poppy)• Origin: northeastern Turkey to northwestern Iran• Height: 24 to 48 inches• Soil and water: well-drained soil – drought tolerant• Propagation: by root cuttings or seed• Bloom period: late May through June • Hardiness: USDA Zones 3-9

QUALE, from pg. 17Many artists were attracted to poppies as a subject

for painting. Famous artist Georgia O’Keeffe used pop-pies as one of her favorite images. Her painting Orien-tal Poppies is part of a collection at the University ofMinnesota Art Museum in Minneapolis. She believedthat due to the fast-paced lives people live, they justglance at flowers and never take the time to examine

their exquisiteness. She wished to give rushing peoplean experience of seeing the true beauty of flowersthrough her paintings.

Using the huge blossoms in flower arrangements ispossible, but the stems need to be cauterized bysingeing with a match or lighter to seal in the milkysap. Pick them early in the morning, singe the stemand harden them off in a bucket of water for several

hours before making your arrangement. The seedpods are also beautiful left on the plant or picked touse as dried material.

Oriental poppies do have a flaw because after theirblooming they go into a dormancy and lose theirfoliage. It is good to plant late emerging perennialslike gypsophilia or grasses near by so the barenessleft by the poppies will be covered. Tall annuals arealso effective in covering the empty spot near thepoppies. Planting them in the back of the border isalso a good idea so that the temporary gap of nofoliage is less noticeable.

Patty’s Plum is a newer cultivar high on my list ofperennials to have. It sports plum-purple blooms upto 6 inches across with central blotches in shades ofblackberry jelly to lavender-grey. That descriptionalone makes me recognize the reason Oriental pop-pies are considered by many to be the sexiest of allhardy perennials.

Hereare just a few highlights from “FamilyFavorites Farm Rescue Cookbook.”

■

If you want to try cooking withSriracha, the bright-red “rooster” saucethat’s, ahem, “hot” right now, but are alittle afraid of the heat, here’s a greatrecipe that’s sweet and not too spicy —you can add more tableside if you want.Sweet and Spicy Sriracha Baked Salmon

2 pounds salmon, skin removed andcut into 4-6 fillets

2 limes, zested and juiced3 teaspoons Sriracha2 tablespoons brown sugar1 teaspoon sea saltChopped scallions, for garnishPlace fillets of fish on parchment-

■

Salads are refreshing, delicious andhealthy, but they can also be a bit run-of-the-mill. Spice things up a couple ofnotches with this hearty chopped saladwith a bright-green fresh-cilantrodressing that’ll really wake up yourtastebuds.Southwestern Chopped Salad withCilantro Dressing

1 large head romaine lettuce1 large orange bell pepper1 pint cherry tomatoes5 green onions1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed

Barley is a sadly underutilized grainthat’s nutty and delicious but also fab-ulously healthy as well. While boneless,skinless chicken breasts can cook up alittle dry sometimes, baking them withthis fragrant barley pilaf guaranteesthey’ll be moist and fork-tender. Thisrecipe takes a little extra time to cook,but your efforts will not go unappreci-ated. Four out of four “yums” from theJohnson clan!Baked Chicken with Apples and Barley

In the spring you can stand on the deck of Joyce LaVoie’s tree-house, some 15 to 20 feet above ground, and look up throughthe three strong oaks that support the little six-sided structure

and see the returning wood ducks thread their way at high speedthrough the tips of the branches.

In the summer you can bask in the green glow of the oaks,maples and ash and listen to the screechy call of the tanagerabove and the sweet song of the wood thrush below you. In the fallyou will be bathed in the light from the now golden leaves and

may see a turkey troopparade through the for-est below.

And in the winter youcan go inside this bed &breakfast in the trees,light a fire in the silverand black potbelly stove,curl up in the cozy bedwith the Amish quilt,and read bear stories. Oryou can lay on your back,listen to the stove click-ing as it warms, andstudy the patterns of theknotty pine paneling asyou gently slip in and outof sleep and the snowfalls silently past yourwindow.

In spring, summer, fall or winter you will likely be woken by thesound of LaVoie’s footsteps on the stairs as she brings you steam-ing tea, chocolate or coffee and a tasty breakfast of fruit, muffinsand cereal.

Guests from near and as far away as France have discovered theLaVoie’s treehouse above the Long Prairie River valley west of thetown named after the river.

“People like to come to our drive-in theater in town and thenstay the night here,” she said.

If guests do come in after the usual double feature at the LongDrive-in they will find the wide winding trail to the tree house litby flickering candles, solar lights and perhaps a few fireflies.

During the night forest creatures may visit. One couple waswatched over by a protective owl outside a window.

“One boy came with his grandparents. They had left their foodon the deck,” LaVoie said. “He told me that he heard a noise andhe got up to look out a window. It was a raccoon and he had a ricecrispy bar! The child was delighted!”
