Story on Page 6A
Stearns County,Minn., farmerJim Anderson
You’re undoubtedly aware of the ongo-ing story of Kim Davis, the county clerkfrom Kentucky.
After the U.S. Supreme Court’s rulingon June 26 that denial of marriagelicenses to same-sex couples is in viola-tion of the 14th Amendment’s DueProcess and Equal Protection clauses, theRowan County clerk refused to comply,citing her Christian faith.
A district court judge eventuallyordered Davis to issue the licenses, andthe Supreme Court declined to hear herappeal. Continuing to ignore judicialrulings, she was found in contempt ofcourt and sent to jail Sept. 3. Davis wasreleased Sept. 8 under the condition that she notinterfere with the issuing of marriage licenses by herdeputies to all legal couples, same-sex or otherwise.
“This has never been a gay or lesbian issue for me,”she said prior to her brief incarceration. “This is aboutupholding the word of God. ... This is a heaven or hellissue for me and for every other Christian that believes.”
A great number of Davis’ detractors (courtesy ofinternet anonymity) are saying very ugly thingsabout her, and attempting to shout down those whocome to her defense. But who are any of us to belittlesomeone for standing up for themselves? What kindof message does such cruel behavior teach our chil-dren? Life is far too short for such hate.
I think Kim Davis is a courageous woman. I amenvious of her steadfastness in defense of her beliefs.Although she has been accused of opportunism, I’veread enough truly despicable attacks upon her faith,her appearance, her personal history, etc., that,frankly, if she’s actually able to make a few bucks offof her fame once all of this is over, I say good for her.
I also happen to think her stance is dia-metrically opposed to core values uponwhich this nation was founded.
Davis, her lawyers, and supporters arguethat she is being persecuted for her faith.Among her most vocal backers are presi-dential hopefuls Mike Huckabee — “Wemust end the criminalization of Christian-ity!” — and Ted Cruz — “Those who arepersecuting Kim Davis believe that Chris-tians should not serve in public office!”
Through their incendiary words, politi-cians such as Huckabee and Cruz do agreat disservice to their country, fan-ning flames of rage when what would
better serve is calm and reasoned reflec-tion upon the place of religion in government.(Rhetorical question: Would either man be in Ken-tucky defending religious liberty if Davis were aMuslim clerk attempting to impose Sharia law uponthe good people Rowan County?)
Where persecution and conspiracy is claimed, thetruth is much simpler: Davis was sent to jail notbecause she is a Christian, but because she refusedto obey the law. Muslim, Jewish, Hindu or atheistcounty clerks would have been held in contempt justas quickly — possibly more so — had they failed toperform their duties as elected government officials.
Christians are not being prevented from serving inpublic office. Christians (and everyone else) arebeing told that if they are elected to, or hired for, agovernment job, they are expected to perform theduties of that job — and if they find themselvesunable to perform those duties for any reason, reli-gious or otherwise, they must either step aside to leta co-worker do it, or step down.
A matter of core values

ROYER, from pg. 2ADavis refused to issue marriage licenses
that are legal in all 50 states, refused toallow her deputies to issue them, andrefused to resign from her position. Faithis not the issue here; the issue is insubor-dination. She is not a victim, andcertainly not a martyr. (Davissupporters want to compare herto Rosa Parks, but the differencebetween them is clear: One went to jail seeking toexpand civil rights, the other to deny them.)
“If I left, resigned or chose to retire,” said Davis, “Iwould have no voice for God’s word.”
I have tried but failed to understand why shebelieves her job as Rowan County clerk is a religiousposition. She swore an oath on a Bible to uphold theConstitution, not the other way around.
I’ve seen it argued that Davis’ refusal to issue mar-riage licenses to same-sex couples is of no concern,because any of them could have just driven onecounty over and gotten a license there. But what ifthat county’s clerk refuses? And the next one? Howfar should a citizen of the United States be expectedto travel to have the nation’s laws applied?
There are cooler heads, even among socially conser-vative politicians, who say there must be room for
compromise — that accommodations should bemade to allow the lawful work of government to
continue without sacrificing an individual’s faith.I agree. Rowan County could have issued those mar-
riage licenses without Davis being found in contempt.All she had to do was let someone else do her job forher. Offered a reasonable alternative, she instead choseto treat her government-issued desk as a bully pulpit.
The U.S. Constitution protects the right of citizensto follow their faith of choice, while also prohibitingthe government from forcing a particular religionupon them. Davis’ actions amount to her office forc-ing her specific belief system upon the people ofRowan County, Ky. Not only is this a violation of theConstitution, but a dramatic leap from evangelismtoward flat-out coercion.
Some friends had a heated religious discussion onlinethe other day, spurred by the Kim Davis situation. Oneman, a very conservative Christian, took another, a very
liberal Christian, to task for “picking andchoosing” what parts of the Bible he uses tobuttress his opinions, calling it “a shakyfoundation for determining morality.”
This was written by the man withoutthe faintest hint of self-awareness.
Could he truly have been blind to thefact that he himself, and every other
Christian, regardless of political leaning, does theexact same thing every single day? Even if there wasbut one translation of the Bible — instead of themore than 100 available to choose from — Christian-ity would still be split by numerous denominations,each emphasizing one verse over another. Eachclaiming ownership of the “correct” interpretation.
Whose interpretation will form the basis of the Chris-tian theocracy so many seem to wish upon this nation?
Yours, or that guy’s you’ve never met, next countyover?
“Though we cannot think alike, may we not love alike?May we not be of one heart, though we are not of oneopinion? Without all doubt, we may,” wrote the notedsinner John Wesley. “Herein all the children of God mayunite, notwithstanding these smaller differences.”

To hear most of the 2016Republican presidentialcandidates tell it, thenation’s biggest problem isillegal immigration.
That’s right; it’s not theincendiary Middle East, theever-on-edge global finan-cial markets, ballooningoverpopulation, rapid cli-mate change, or terrorismeither here or abroad. It’sillegal immigration.
It’s so bad, shouts poll-climbing billionaire Don-ald Trump, that the onlysolution to this problem is that“They’ve got to go!”
“They,” noted conservative columnistGeorge Will in late August, are“approximately 11.3 million illegalimmigrants.” If all were gathered to bedeported, he said of the Trumpster’sbig-sweep plan, the group would be“94 times larger than the wartime
internment of 117,000 per-sons of Japanese descent.”
No one in U.S. agriculturehas a hard count on howmany undocumented work-ers are employed in Ameri-can food production. Recentestimates, however, suggestroughly 70 percent of the1.2 million employed byAmerican farms have nolegal right be in the UnitedStates.
If accurate, estimatedthe American Farm
Bureau Federation in 2012,the last time such a mass deportationstrategy was discussed (and, not coinci-dentally, the last presidential electionyear), the exodus would bring “laborshortages (that) will result in losses ofup to $9 billion” to American agricul-ture.
Ironically, however, many U.S. farm-ers don’t see expanding legal immigra-
tion as a good solution to agriculture’schronic labor shortage, according to aFeb. 2015, National Public Radio reportby Dan Charles.
Instead, Charles discovered, farmers’loyalties are deeply split; they openlylook the other way when they hire will-ing farmworkers they suspect areundocumented because the farmersneed the laborers. Besides, one growertold him, “They’re just trying to feedtheir families.”
But, the grower added, “giving morelegal rights to those workers is proba-bly bad for his business. He believesthat (if) some of the workers… workingin agriculture… gain legal status(then) ‘the pressure is off. Now they cango to the cities and look for construc-tion jobs, or manufacturing jobs.’”
While there’s little data to back upthat belief, Charles explained, a keyreason undocumented workers do flockto U.S. farms is that rural America is “agood place to hide from the authori-ties.”
The hiding, of course, carries a price;there is little job safety and even fewerjob benefits for undocumented workersand their families.
You and I, however, profit from this
not-so-hidden labor force. Undocu-mented workers — including womenand children — pick most of thenation’s fruit and vegetables, slaughtermost of our livestock, milk a growingnumber of our cows, and mow millionsof acres of our lawns. They are the keysource of cheap American labor for ourfood system and losing any portion of itwill cost us dearly.
In 2012, the U.S. Department of Agri-culture put a number on what that losswould be if, as some of the presidentialcandidates that year proposed, wepatched our national sieve to keepthese mostly brown hands away fromour farms and out of our cities.
According to USDA, if the UnitedStates cut the number of undocu-mented workers within our borders byhalf, or 5.8 million, “Fruit, tree nuts,vegetables, and nursery production(would experience) long-run relativedeclines of 2.0 to 5.4 percent in outputand from 2.5 to 9.3 percent inexports…”
And, “real wages would rise, on aver-age from 3.9 to 9.9 percent” because ofan unmet, and ever-growing, farmlabor shortage.
If, however, today’s temporary non-immigrant ag worker programs wereexpanded by just 156,000 people, thesame four ag sectors would see produc-tion rise, imports increase, and —because of an ample, guaranteed sup-ply of workers — labor costs fall.
So, the GOP candidates are right inone sense; the United States undoubt-edly has an undocumented workerproblem. Their proposed fix, however, isa disaster for everyone — you, me and“they.”

BELGRADE, Minn. — People on the secondannual bus tour of the Irrigators Association ofMinnesota had the opportunity to witness an his-toric event on Aug. 20.
“This is the earliest we’ve ever harvested sugarbeets,” Todd Geselius of the Southern MinnesotaBeet Sugar Cooperative told tour participants asthey watched tons of beets tumble from a twelve-row harvester into a semi-truck trailer at theAnderson family farm near Belgrade in StearnsCounty. “We are ten days early this year.”
Not only were the beets early, they were predictedto be above average in yield.
“We usually average 26 to 27 tons per acre,”Geselius said. “This year we are predicting a yield of31 tons per acre.”
Geselius said the coopera-tive had 4,000 acres ofsugar beets under irriga-tion in the Bonanza Valley.The Valley includes partsof western Stearns, Pope,Kandiyohi, and DouglasCounties. It generally hassandy or gravelly soils thatwere laid down by giantglacial melt water rivers.
“We like irrigation. Itprovides consistency,”Geselius said. “They havehigh-quality beets here.”
The consistency andhigh quality of irrigatedcrops were termsrepeated a number oftimes throughout thetour, which included vis-its to Mycogen seed corn research fields, field cornfields, RD Offut potato fields, dry bean fields, and avariety of vegetable fields under contract to Lake-side Foods of Brooten.
“We have 5,200 acres of peas and 6,200 acres ofsweet corn under irrigation in the area,” Jeff Haugenof Lakeside Foods said. “We also have some carrotsand table beets under irrigation.”
A visit to a sweet corn field in Kandiyohi Countyshowed that crop to be in excellent condition also.
“The corn looks very good but with all the rain weare worried about the nitrogen leaching away,” Hau-gen said. “We don’t want to load the soil with N.”

See IRRIGATION, pg. 7A
We have 5,200acres of peasand 6,200 acresof sweet cornunder irrigationin the area. Wealso have somecarrots andtable beetsunder irrigation.
— Jeff Haugen
IRRIGATION, from pg. 6AEfficiency
Although the season has required very little cropirrigation, farmers who irrigate in the Bonanza Val-ley continue to be concerned about both water qual-ity and quantity, tour host Jim Anderson said.Anderson hosted a University of Minnesota nitrogenefficiency fertigation study a few years ago.
“We are concerned about nitrogen,” he said. “Wespoon-feed it and control it carefully.”
Anderson, who farms 6,000 acres and operates 65center pivot irrigators with his brother and threesons, demonstrated computerized technology on acenter pivot irrigator.
“Using GPS technology and mapping we can dovariable rate irrigation on one center pivot,” he said.“We can put more water on the high dry sectionsthat the center pit passes over and less on the lowerareas with heavier soils. We can even turn a portionof the pivot off when it passes over a conservationwetland area.”
“These variable rate irrigation systems can reducewater usage by up to 13 percent,” said Josh Stamper,an Irrigation Specialist with the University of Min-nesota’s Department of Soil, Water, and Climate.“They can be a powerful conservation tool.”
Over the years irrigation technology has beenincreasingly focused on using water more efficiently,Jerry Wright, the Membership Secretary of the Irri-gation Association of Minnesota told tour partici-pants.
“When I started in irrigation most of the systemsused traveling gun irrigation systems,” Wright said.“Traveling guns required high pressure and did notapply the water that consistently. Over the yearsirrigators have adapted more efficient wells, gone to
center pivot irrigators, and more recently adapteddrop tubes with low-pressure sprinklers. With allthose improvements they can irrigate with pressureas low as 15 pounds. When you reduce pressure youreduce costs.”Fen
Another stop on the Association’s tour was RegalMeadow Calcareous Fen and Observation Wells inKandiyohi County. The 675-acre Nature Conser-vancy-owned preserve contains a section of uplandprairie that drops down into the fen. Calcareous fensare one of Minnesota’s rarest habitats and they arevery susceptible to pressures from agriculture andother human activities.
“A calcareous fen is a rare wetland characterizedby non-acidic peat fed by cold oxygen poor groundwater rich in calcium and magnesium bicarbonates,”said Megan Benage of the Minnesota Department ofNatural Resources. “There are only three in Kandiy-ohi County and 200 in Minnesota. They are usuallysmall and they often contain rare and threatenedspecies.”
Calcareous fens are regulated by Minnesota’s Wet-land Conservation Act and the DNR is responsible
for protecting them. As part of its effortto protect the Regal Meadow Fen, theDNR has recently established two mon-itoring wells on the property. One well
monitors a shallow ground wateraquifer and a second monitors amid-range aquifer. The observationwells were drilled in 2014 and todate the DNR monitoring data hasnot indicated any negative effecton the fen from irrigation.
Recently the DNR worked with alandowner that wanted to drill anirrigation well 1,000 feet from thefen.
“We believed that a well that close would have anegative effect on the fen,” DNR hydrologist EthanJenzen said. “We encouraged him to drill the wellinto a third, deeper, aquifer. He did that and wedon’t believe that will affect the water supply to thefen.”
Alan Peterson, a Clear Lake area farmer, irriga-tor, and the president of the 480-member IrrigationAssociation of Minnesota, said he felt this year’s bustour was a success.
“The bus tour started last year at my farm wherewe invited (Minnesota Department of Agriculture)commissioner Fredrickson and his staff to tour anirrigated farm,” Peterson said. “We were hoping hewould start to be an advocate of irrigated agricul-ture. This year we decided it would be a good time tohost the DNR for the same type of tour.”
Peterson said about 75 people attended the tourincluding State Representatives Jeff Howe, DaveBaker and Paul Anderson, as well as State SenatorMichele Fishbach. ❖

The latest full ‘From the Fields’ crop reports from our Minnesota
& northern Iowa producersThe Pulks Wannaska, Minn.
For Andy Pulk the wheat harvest is about halfdone. Rain showers had kept the combines out ofthe fields and slowed up harvest, Pulk told TheLand on Aug. 28. “Hopefully by the middle of nextweek, we’ll be finished,” he said, noting that“quality is excellent, yield is great. ... It gets to bea fun time of year at harvest.” Meanwhile, “thesunflowers are through blooming; now are filling,”and “the soybean fields look really good.” Pulk
said the corn should reachmaturity this fall, whichdoesn’t necessarily happenevery year for corn that farnorth. “It’s started to dent,”he said. Pulk noted that withthe crops doing well, it means
that “I’m pretty sure I can feed my family thisyear.”
The Lees McIntosh, Minn.
Back from her international travels, Joan Leewas happy to report that the trip was “wonderful... (Ireland is) probably one of the friendliestcountries.” The Land spoke with Lee on Aug. 28as she was getting back into the swing of thingson the farm. She and her husband, Mark, had justfinished baling straw the day before. She has morehay to cut down with her third crop — a relativelynew notion for Lee. “I only remember one other
year, doing third crop,” shesaid. Meanwhile, the corn is“kind of starting to dry,” andthe soybeans are “reallystarting to turn.” Lee expectedit would be a couple of weeksbefore the beans were ready
for harvest. “For the most part we’ve had a goodyear so far for weather,” she said. “Overall, it’sbeen a good year.”
The Haarstads Rothsay, Minn.
The calm before theharvesting storm is upon theHaarstad farm. John Haarstadreported the farm was “kind ofin a holding pattern,” when hespoke with The Land on Aug. 28. The focus rightnow is looking ahead to harvest and gettingequipment ready. As far as corn quality and yieldgoes, Haarstad said it’s looking like “average to
above average is attainable.” The soybeans are“really good ... just starting to turn with onevariety (and have) lots of pods.” Haarstadestimated it would be three weeks until harvest. Inthe meantime, he said, they’re “starting to get thebin site up and ready to go.” He said that crop-wise, “we’re sitting as good as we can be. Ourbiggest enemy right now would be the frost.”
The Filzens Renville, Minn.
Navy bean harvest will soon be underway forDale Filzen. The Land spoke with Filzen on Aug.28 as he was “getting ready to combine navys.”He planned on starting either Aug. 29 or 30 — “alittle on the early side.” Filzen’s happy with howthe navy beans look and expects that “they’ll bereal good.” The soybeans “got a fair amount ofwhite mold after the rain,” although the two inchesthat fell the previous weekend were certainly
needed. “Some of thesoybeans are starting to turn,”said Filzen. He expects it willbe three weeks until harvest.“The corn looks pretty good,”he said, observing that “someearly corn is starting to dent
— it’s coming along good.” Filzen said the sugarbeets are doing quite well, also. He said he’spleased they “got some moisture to finish (thecrops) off.”
The ThorpesCanby, Minn.
The humidity isn’t Nathan Thorpe’s friend. “It’sbeen a real pain to work in,” he told The LandSept. 6. He was more than ready for cooler, less-humid temperatures to arrive in the next day. “Theearlier beans are really turning,” Thorpe said. Heestimates that he will start combining soybeans inabout three weeks. The corn is “excellent” Thorpesaid, noting that “we’re seeing green stocks withthe husk starting to turn colors.” He is looking
ahead to a promising cornharvest — “This is the bestcorn crop our area has had;it’s very good.”
The PagelsWinthrop, Minn.
“The crops are reallymaturing.” When The Landspoke with Delayne Pagel onSept. 6 he reported that he’dbegun kidney bean harvest onthe first of the month. So far, Pagel said he likeswhat he sees — “It looks like it’s going to be agood crop.” As for the corn, Pagel said that he“can’t complain.” Meanwhile, the soybeans are
“turning colors; looking OK.” Overall, Pagel ishappy with the crops thus far, and calls them“above average.”
The MarblesMapleton, Minn.
With his wrist surgerybehind him and only a weekand a half left of arm liftingrestrictions, Harlan Marble islooking forward to being apart of harvest. When The Land spoke with Marbleon Sept. 4 he reported that they’ve got threesoybean fields that are turning, he said, and theleaves are starting to come off already; one field of
corn is doing the same. The other corn fields are“pretty green yet.” Marble said he heard that thissummer will go down on record as the third-greatest summer in Minnesota history, and hedoesn’t disagree. “The crops in southernMinnesota reflect that,” he said. Marble is lookingforward to seeing the yield numbers — “I think forour area they’re going to come up with some veryhigh corn yields.” As for his crops in general,Marble is “thrilled” with how they look.
The HeusinkveldsWykoff, Minn.
Less humidity and some dry days would be justfine for Nate Heusinkveld and his hay. The Landspoke with Heusinkveld on Sept. 6 as he was“going to start on fourth-crop hay.” After he getsdone with that he’ll be starting on corn silage. Thecrop is “starting to turn but is still holding abunch of moisture.” The silage corn is currently inthe dough stage. As far as the grain corn goes, “Ithink it will be a pretty good crop.” The cows
aren’t big fans of all thishumidity either, Heusinkveldsaid — “They backed off alittle on milk.” With cooler,more seasonable weatherahead, he’s hopeful the nextfew weeks will result in a
good hay and corn silage harvest.
The KempsSibley, Iowa
“Everything is progressing nicely,” according toBrian Kemp. When The Land spoke with Kemp onSept. 6, he talked about the changes he wasseeing in the soybean crop. “We got a fewvarieties of soybeans turning yellow.” Kempbelieves it will be a couple of weeks before beanharvest begins. Meanwhile, “the corn is lookinggood (and) starting to show signs of maturity.” Themilk line is “about 50 percent,” and he is seeing
“some die-back in the tops.”With harvest coming soonKemp is about to get thecombine ready to go to thefield. It isn’t just harvest thathe’s looking forward to,however; the Clay County Fair
in Spencer, Iowa, begins on Sept. 12. Kemp callsit “the agricultural event in northwest Iowa.” Whatbetter way to end the summer and bring on thefall?
The Froemmings Garfield, Minn.
Most folks are talking aboutharvesting, but a littleplanting was also on RodneyFroemming’s mind. When TheLand spoke with Froemmingon Aug. 28 he reported “we’re starting to get readyto start planting rye.” He was looking to possiblystart his third hay crop on Aug. 29. “Last week wegot 1.3 inches, then we got another sixth-tenths
over two other rains.” Froemming said the cornlooks good, with early day corn 100 percentdented, and 92-day corn half dented. Thesoybeans will be ready to harvest after rye plantingis complete, he said, as “some of the earlysoybeans are starting to turn yellow.” Froemmingpredicts that “by the middle of September we’ll berolling.”

When 13-year-old Elizabeth Thiesen,of Alden, Iowa, takes her sheep to thefair, she knows exactly what the judgesare looking for in breeding and show-manship. She has the purple and blueribbons to prove it.
“They’re looking for the wool quality,that it’s good,” she said. “A sheep that islong and has a straight back. Most of thejudges like a sheep that is tall. A lot will take intoconsideration how their mouth is, that they don’thave an underbite or overbite.”
Elizabeth, a member of Franklin County 4-H Tri-LClub, competed at the Iowa State Fair in the breed-ing sheep division, other wool breeds class. She wasawarded Champion Columbia yearling ewe andReserve Champion Columbia ewe lamb. Her youngerbrother, Colby Thiesen, received a blue ribbon inbreeding sheep.
Elizabeth isn’t the only champion in the family.Her cousins Mauren and Maesyn Thiesen live inSauk Centre, Minn., and are members of StearnsCounty 4-H Pelican Peak Club. They earned purpleribbons at the Minnesota State Fair this year. In thebreeding sheep division, 15-year-old Maesyn wasawarded Champion Columbia ewe lamb and 18-year-old Mauren was awarded Champion Columbia year-ling ewe. Maesyn was Reserve Champion in breedingsheep senior showmanship while Mauren placedfourth in advanced showmanship.
They all get their sheep from Grandpa’s farm,which supports a flock of roughly 35 ewes. Theirgrandpa, Leland Thiesen, breeds sheep and operates
Thiesen Family Columbias in Windom,Minn. He gets help from his three sons —Brian, Ken and Stephen Thiesen.
“My dad has been the leader of thewhole organization and he reallyinstalled a joy in all three of his sons forbeing involved in 4-H and sheep projectsand also the showing side,” said Ken,Mauren and Maesyn’s dad.
In April, Elizabeth, her dad, Brian, andyounger brothers Colby and Jackson head to
Grandpa’s place to choose the sheep they will showthat year. Mauren, Maesyn and younger brotherMacoy do the same with their dad, Ken.
“We all go and divvy them up between all of usgrandchildren,” said Mauren.
“My dad and his brothers make suggestions,” saidElizabeth, “but for the most part we get to choose.”
“It’s always an exciting time when they decide whichones each are going to show for the year,” said Leland.
At 75 years old, Leland has been in the sheep busi-ness for 40 years and keeps the sheep primarily forthe grandkids to show. Still the operation remainsprofitable as they sell breeding stock and wool. Herelies on four things to turn out champion sheep:“Good breeding, good feeding, good preparation, andgood showing.”
“We’ve established a good ewe base and try toselect top rams to go with them,” he said.
Leland attends county and state fairs to watch hisgrandchildren show.
“That’s part of being a grandpa.”

THIESENS, from pg. 10AChores
The real work begins when Eliza-beth gets the sheep home. She feedsthe sheep the same feed that Grandpauses — a mix of corn and protein witha little oats and molasses. They alsoget alfalfa hay.
“We work with them a lot,” she said.“We clip them all once or twice byhand before every show.”
The first time Elizabeth puts sheepon the stand for trimming can betough, but they calm down. In fact,she works with them for many hoursto get them to be “pretty calm” in theshow ring.
“We walk them around a lot sothey’re calm. We have to go out and dochores,” said Elizabeth.
Her father, Brian, said he is proud ofhis daughter and how well she’sdoing.
“She gets up every morning, doesthe chores, ties them up and leadsthem around,” he said.
Mauren has been showing sheepsince she was 5. At 18 years old, she isa freshman at the University of Min-nesota-Morris.
“I think it’s taught me a lot of goodskills — one is to communicate withother people in the breed and helpteach the public about different posi-tives of livestock and what we’redoing and why we’re doing it,” saidMauren.
Showing sheep has also taught herpatience and that you have to workhard and put in your time to learn thebest possible way to showcase your-self and the animal. From hergrandpa, she learned about breedingand the importance of enjoying whatyou’re doing.
“He wants to create that love andpassion for all of us in the sheep,”Mauren said. “Loving what you’redoing and enjoying every secondaround the sheep and the people.”
ShowtimeRight before the show, Elizabeth
walks her sheep around to calm itsnerves. When she shows her sheep, sheholds the head up and sets the frontand back legs square.
“In the back, if they dip down, youcan scratch their belly to bring thatup,” she explained.
Then the judge will have the sheepwalk around and they look at how theywalk, said Elizabeth.
Elizabeth enjoyed her time at theIowa State Fair. She went down earlywith her family for the open classbefore competing in the 4-H sheepshow.
“I just like walking around and see-ing all the different animals and justshowing sheep,” she said. “I like thecompetition that everyone else bringsto the show ring.”
Elizabeth also took home a blue rib-bon in showmanship with her Colum-
bia ewe lamb at the Iowa State Fair. Inshowmanship, the judges are lookingat how you are presenting your sheeprather than the sheep’s characteris-tics, she explained.
“I make eye contact with the judge.When he messes with the wool, Ismooth it back out,” she said. “I alwaysmake sure the sheep is between meand the judge so I change sides. I makesure that my sheep is set up in theright position and set up quickly.”
“You want to make yourself as leastnoticeable as possible,” said Mauren.Breeder shows
Besides 4-H, the Thiesen familyshows in open class and breeder showsincluding the Columbia Sheep Breed-ers National Show and Sale.
“The most fun as a parent is to seethe connections they’ve made and thepeople they’ve gotten to know by beinginvolved with the sheep and the show-ing side of it,” said Ken.
In November, Elizabeth will head tothe North American InternationalLivestock Exposition Sheep Show inLouisville, Ky. She has already chosenher sheep for that show. Her ewe lambwill be the same one, but she will showa different ram lamb and yearling ewe.
Grandpa and Dad took Elizabeth tothe show last year.
“It was definitely a lot bigger thanwhat I expected it to be,” she said. “Ithought it was really nice, all the dif-ferent sheep that were there.”
Even so, Elizabeth didn’t come acrossany sheep breeds that she didn’t know.
Leland said he doesn’t give advice onshowing to his granddaughters thesedays.
“They pretty well all know what todo or they wouldn’t be doing as well asthey are,” said Leland.
Elizabeth said Grandpa can still becounted on for encouragement — a“good job” or “keep it up.” ❖

This column was written for themarketing week ending Sept. 4.
“Fat is back,” says the Daily DairyReport. “After years of being banishedfrom the American diet, butter andwhole milk are gaining favor. Cooking
shows promote butter as a delicious,natural alternative to highly processedoils. Some medical journals are nowtouting the health benefits of milkfat.In fact, studies have linked consump-tion of milkfat with lower rates of heart
disease and obesity.”Sales of whole milk in the
United States have grown ona year-over-year basis ineach of the last sevenmonths, according to theDaily Dairy Report, andmanufacturers have steppedup whole milk bottling, leav-ing less cream for otherusers. The Daily DairyReport warned: “If sales ofwhole milk continue toclimb, cream is likely to remain tight.”
Add to that, CNBC reported thisweek that McDonald’s is now using“real butter to cook breakfast items onthe grill and to spread on toasted itemslike English muffins, biscuits, andbagels. A number of locations acrossthe country have already started usingthe dairy product and two sources tellCNBC that a full rollout would occuronce locations deplete the supply of liq-uid margarine.”
What a contrast to the intense attackagainst dairy products not that manyyears ago but, thanks in part to check-off sponsored medical research, dairy’shealthy reputation is being restored.
Meanwhile; Dairy and Food MarketAnalyst editor Jerry Dryer points outthat U.S. dairy exports are holding upbetter than most expected. Speaking inFriday’s DairyLine, Dryer said we’vealso had a steady stream of news out ofNew Zealand that has helped supportthe market but stopped short of credit-ing McDonald’s butter announcementfor driving spot butter higher.
“It contributes,” Dryer said. “Theyneed to fill the pipeline to start usingbutter,” but he adds that there alreadywas a strong demand for butterfat,whole milk, whole milk powder, andbutter has a lot of support from a lot ofangles right now.”
When asked if McDonald’s decisionwill prompt other fast food chains to dothe same, Dryer said “It’s likely to asbutter has a nice halo around it rightnow.”

USDA’s Farm Service Agencyannounced a July 2015 MPP margin of$7.44659/cwt. MPP margins must bebelow coverage levels during a two-month pay period to trigger payments.The July calculation is the first half ofthe next MPP pay period, covering Julyand August. If the margin holds inAugust, farmers insured at the $7.50/cwt.level would see a small payment. So farin 2015, only farmers insured at the $8level have received payments, says DHM.

restored. The barrels rolled out the week at $1.67, up 7cents, but also 65.5 cents below a year ago. Nine cars ofblock and three of barrel traded hands on the week.
Midwest milk production is in a slow, late-summerdecline, says Dairy Market News. The current heat
wave and bottling demand are pushing milk intakesslightly lower but manufacturers report availablemilk is adequate. Western milk intakes are reduced,due to increases in bottling demand and the seasonaldecline in milk production, but manufacturers reportcheese production has remained active. Exportopportunities for cheese are down but domesticdemand is good and is keeping inventories from get-ting out of control, says Dairy Market News.
Cash butter finished Friday at $2.4525, up 11.25cents on the week but 39.25 cents below a year agowhen it was trading at $2.8450 and on its way to seta record high that topped $3 a pound. Thirteen carstraded hands in the week before Labor Day.
Butter production in the Central region is steady,according to Dairy Market News. Milk intakes andbutterfat components are trending lower, but somechurners are curtailing cream spot sales to help fillchurning schedules. National butter holdings areabove a year ago however market participants citeconcern over how much butter is actually uncommit-ted and available to meet upcoming needs, especiallysince the McDonald’s announcement regarding thetransition to butter.
Spot Grade A nonfat dry milk also had a good week,closing Friday at 90 cents per pound, up 13 cents onthe week and the highest spot price since June 11, butstill 43.25 cents below a year ago. Thirteen cars tradedhands this week at the CME.

July total cheese output hit 988.4 mil-lion pounds, up 2.5 percent from June,up 3.1 percent from a year ago, and year-to-date production, at 6.8 billion pounds,
was up 2.3 percent from a year ago.Italian cheese output hit 422.3 mil-
lion pounds, up 1.1 percent from June,up 3.2 percent from a year ago, withyear-to-date at 2.9 billion pounds, up2.3 percent. Mozzarella, at 331.7 mil-lion pounds, was up 1.3 percent from ayear ago and year-to-date totaled 2.3billion pounds, up 1.0 percent. Ameri-can-type cheese production totaled393.2 million pounds, up 2.4 percentfrom June, up 3.4 percent from a year

HighGround Dairy’s Eric Meyerreports that “Total cheese productionsaw the slightest percentage declinefrom June in history (based on dailyaverage basis). While July has more
days of the month than June, U.S. dailyaverage cheese production has a springpeak in April and begins decliningthrough September. July only had pro-duction drop 248,000 pounds per dayversus June. However, we do not countthis as extremely bearish yet as inven-tories only rose by 20 million pounds onan extra 24 million pounds produced.”
Butter totaled 133.3 million pounds,

MIELKE, from pg. 17Adown 6.2 percent from June, and 3.2percent below a year ago, bringingyear-to-date output, to 1.1 billionpounds, down 1.7 percent.
Meyer says “Butter production rolledbelow last year for the first time inthree months. Counter-intuitive tobasic supply and demand, extremelyhigh butter prices does not translate to
stronger production. There seems to bea bit of panic in the air with memoriesof last year fresh in buyers’ minds, butthere is little evidence to suggest pricescan hold at these historic levels for asecond straight season once holidaydemand has been fulfilled andimported fat begins making its way toshore in Fourth Quarter.”
Nonfat dry milk totaled 155.1 millionpounds, down 6.9 percent, with year-to-date output hitting 1.2 billion pounds, up8.5 percent. Skim milk powder totaled35.1 million pounds in July, up 23.0 per-cent, with year-to-date output at 255.4million pounds, down 22.9 percent from2014. The report pegged July 31 NFDMstocks at 269.7 million pounds, up 7.4million pounds or 2.8 percent from Juneand 8.5 percent above a year ago.
You’ll recall that I reported last weekthat June fluid milk sales were up forthe first time in five months. Interest-ingly, the Aug. 28 Daily Dairy Reportadds that whole milk sales propelledthe increase as whole milk sales totaled1.122 billion pounds, up 74 millionpounds, or 7.1 percent from a year ago.

In politics; the National Milk Produc-ers Federation urged the Obamaadministration to hold off nationalenforcement of the new “Waters of theU.S.” regulation, in response to a courtdecision last week suspending the reg-ulation in some states.
Last Thursday the U.S. District Courtfor the District of North Dakota halted
implementation of the water regulation,granting a temporary injunction in favorof 13 states that brought suit in NorthDakota against the Environmental Pro-tection Agency and the Army Corps ofEngineers. The EPA said after the courtruling that it would not implement therule in the 13 states that were part ofthe suit: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Col-orado, Idaho, Missouri, Montana,Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, NorthDakota, South Dakota and Wyoming.
In light of the potential for confusionand inconsistent application of the reg-ulation following the ruling, NMPFsaid in a letter sent Monday to the EPAand the Army that the governmentshould suspend enforcement of theWOTUS nationwide.
“The EPA implementation schedulefor the Clean Water Rule now treatsdairy farmers differently nationwide,and clearly falls short of the EPA’s goalsof ‘greater clarity, consistency, and pre-dictability when making jurisdictionaldeterminations,’” NMPF President andCEO Jim Mulhern said in the letter.
“Therefore, we ask that EPA and theCorps of Engineers use their enforce-ment discretion and cease applicationof the recent WOTUS rule in all 50states, until such time as it can beevenly applied in every state.”

MANKATO, Minn. — “You guys are our partnersin the field,” said Ray Hart to a room full of Min-nesota soybean growers at the Biodiesel and BioheatForum hosted by the Minnesota Soybean Researchand Promotion Council in August.
Hart’s new tagline isn’t a reality yet, but there ispotential.
Hart is the owner of Hart Home Comfort, a family-owned heating oil business in Long Island, N.Y. In1998, he took a big risk and bought an oil terminaland made the major capital investment to blendbiodiesel with heating oil, known as Bioheat.
Hart, an early provider of Bioheat, began deliver-ing the blend to customers in 2007. Today, he offers
Ecoblend — a blend of 20 percent biodiesel with con-ventional heating oil. Bioheat is often blended at fivepercent biodiesel to heating oil.
Hart would not be able to charge more for thegreen product, but providing a cleaner, domesticallyproduced product was important to him.
“Financially, it made absolutely no sense to us,” hesaid, “but in my heart, I just knew it was somethingwe had to do.”
John Luepke, a director of the Minnesota SoybeanProcessors, brought up the challenge of shippingbiodiesel by rail to the Northeast. Hart’s biodieselcomes from the United States and Canada via rail.
Meanwhile, most biodiesel comes into the New

The Nuhn Lagoon Crawler is an amphibious vehicle
designed for agitating lagoons.
The wheels are able to drop down, giving the vehicle roughly 5 feet
of ground clearance. The unit then drives itself into a lagoon,
where it turns into an agitation boat.
When in the lagoon, the Lagoon Crawler is powered by a quad port, Nuhn
Header Series manure pump. 10000+GPM volumes are used to maneuver
the pontoon through the lagoon and agitate the solids from the bottom.
The Nuhn Lagoon Crawler does not need a priming system.
Once the lagoon is emptied, the four wheels are lowered and the
machine is able to drive itself out of the lagoon.

BIOHEAT, from pg. 19AYork harbor by barge. According to PaulNazzaro, of Nazzaro Group and petro-leum liaison to the National BiodieselBoard, many of those barges come fromArgentina. Nazarro recognized the chal-lenge for Minnesota farmers to getbiodiesel into the New England market.
“We will work on it with them,” saidNazzaro. “There are as many chal-lenges as opportunities.”
Future goals for Bioheat are to increasethe biodiesel content to 20 percent andB6 to B20 biodiesel blends have beenapproved. With an increase in demandfor biodiesel, Bioheat could be an emerg-ing market for Minnesota biodiesel.
In addition, the Northeast needsbiodiesel at a time when Minnesotacuts back on biodiesel use in trucks,Nazzaro said.
BiodieselBiodiesel and Bioheat markets have
a ripple effect on the soybean marketin making the beans and oil more valu-able while keeping the cost of soymealdown for livestock producers andglobal hunger programs.
Osakis, Minn., farmer Tom Grund-man, a director in the Minnesota Soy-bean Growers Association, said theevent showed just how importantbiodiesel is to our industry.
Soybean oil, a major feedstock inbiodiesel production, has a 50 percentshare in the market.
“In the ’90s we were spraying thatsoybean oil on the roads. It was awaste,” said Grundman. “Informa Eco-nomics did a study and said it’s(biodiesel) putting 70 cents to 90 centsa bushel in our pockets.”
Mike Youngerberg, senior director of
field services for the Minnesota SoybeanGrowers Association, received theBiodiesel Award of Excellence at theforum. Youngerberg got involved inbiodiesel in 1999 when he worked on theMinnesota biodiesel mandate — a B2mandate which took effect in 2005. Thatmeans biodiesel made from vegetable oils— often soybean oil — must be blendedat a two percent ratio with diesel fuel.
Youngerberg continued his involve-ment through the current mandate forB10 in the summer months, revertingto B5 in the winter months. In 2018,the mandate is scheduled to jump toB20 in the summer months.
Minnesota has three biodiesel plantswith a combined production of 63 mil-lion gallons, according to the MinnesotaDepartment of Agriculture. The MDAestimates current production capacitywill cover almost all of the demand forB20 for trucks and diesel engines.
Vernon Pooch, a Farwell, Minn., con-tract soybean seed producer and direc-
tor in the MSR&PC, is quick to pro-mote the homegrown renewable fuel.
“It’s absolutely excellent for thefarmers to have Bioheat,” he said. “Ifwe didn’t have biodiesel, how cheapwould beans be? I’m glad to hear thatthey’re using Bioheat because it helpsclean up the air a lot.”
Increasing the capacity to producebiodiesel in Minnesota may be neces-sary to serve the Bioheat market.
When it comes to the biodiesel taxcredit, Luepke of Minnesota SoybeanProcessors would like to see a produc-tion credit instead of a blender’s credit.
The American Soybean Association sup-ports shifting the tax credit from ablender’s credit to a domestic producer’scredit. This would promote domestic pro-duction and eliminate the ability of for-eign-produced biodiesel to claim the credit.
“The producer’s credit would help outour industry, state and soybean farm-ers,” Luepke said. ❖

LE SUEUR, Minn. — Theannual Le Sueur County PioneerPower Show, the largest in thecountry, is all about enthusiastsshowing all manner of steam-,gas- and diesel-powered equip-ment. On display are the firstsnowblowers and riding mowersmanufactured, steam enginesthat powered everything fromsaw mills to metal fabricators,threshers, and hundreds of oldtractors.
While those displaying and run-ning the machines during thelate-August event share anenthusiasm for the old stuff, theyoften have a burning pride in theparticular make of theirmachines: John Deere, Allis, Far-mall, Case, Oliver and a variety ofothers. And get a bunch of guystogether with their prized posses-sions and there’s a constantundertow of friendly rivalry overwhich brand is best.
“They say, ‘you John Deere guys arestuck up,’” said Derik Boucher, of BellePlaine. “But sometimes I think theyare,” he said with a smile.
Boucher said there is a collector ofCase tractors who every year makes apoint of towing a little John Deeretractor behind his Case to taunt theDeere aficionados.
“I love all kinds of tractors. Mygrandpa bought whatever was thecheapest at the auction, so we hadeverything on the farm.”
Boucher, an aviation engineer withSun Country Airlines, grew up on aNorth Dakota farm and got into col-lecting tractors — Model A JohnDeere’s are his current passion —about a decade ago.
He had early 1934 and 1935 modelson display — rusted, save for a fewfaint patches of John Deere green.
Like all of those showing machinery,he’s happy to share a wealth of knowl-edge about the history of old equip-ment: John Deere started his companyin 1837, building implements, but nottractors. “He created the best steelplow,” Boucher said. Then, pausing...“Well some might debate that.” Still, itwas clear he didn’t believe anydoubters of the great John Deere.
Boucher said the quest for parts torestore old farm machinery is gettingmore difficult as time goes by. An origi-nal, old magneto for his Model A canfetch $800. A paper gasket $50.
“When you’re doing this, knowledgeis a dangerous thing because when youfind what you know are rare parts it’sbad for your pocketbook.”
While tractors, threshers and old gasand steam engines dominate the show,one of the most popular places at thepower show is the miniature train thatslowly carries riders along a miniaturetrack that winds through the woods onthe edge of the property.
John Barklow and his late dad, alsonamed John, started the MiniatureLand building at the show in 1980, fea-turing models of everything from air-planes to machinery and small steamengines.
“My dad and I always went to
threshing shows and joined here in’79. In ’95 we put in a small loop oftrack and did a small railroad.”
At each show, about 2,000 peopleride the little trains through thewoods. “It’s mostly for the little kids,they just love it,” Barklow said.
A group of helpers, including rail-road engineers, power plant steamengineers and enthusiasts keep thetrains running each year. The trainsare pulled by a mix of electric, gas andsteam engines. While many of those

Mike Platzer takes a picture of his sons Victor,5, and Roland, 8, in the wheel of a MasseyHarris tractor at the Pioneer Power Show inLe Sueur, Minn.
POWER SHOW, from pg. 21Aworking the show are elderly — often farm-ers who grew up with the old equipment —there is also a mix of middle-age and youngenthusiasts coming on board.
Barklow already has his eye on a potentialsuccessor to help run the miniature railroad.
“There’s this little fourth grade guy,Finnegan, who’s come from Wisconsin thelast four years. He’s wearing his striped bibsand engineer hat. He’s very serious about it.I’m training him in.”
Betty Sticha has been involved in organiz-ing and running the power show since theearly 1980s and said interest is still strong,with 8,000 to 12,000 people attending theevent. Another 10,000 attend a swap meeteach spring, in which collectors from acrossthe country and Canada bring parts andequipment to sell or trade.
“The show started small and now it’s thebiggest power show in the country,” Stichasaid. “They come from every state and Canada.”
The event is traced back to 1974 when DavePreuhs held the first threshing bee on his farm withthe help of friends, neighbors and relatives. It con-tinued to be held on the Preuhs farm with the
exception of 1975 when it was held on the neighbor-ing Ed Reddemann farm.
In 1979 the Le Sueur County Pioneer Power Asso-ciation bought 80 acres of land for the show, whichhas grown to 120 acres.
During the summer the grounds are some-times used for reunions, graduation parties andweddings inside the old white, wooden churchthat was moved to the site a few years ago.
Sticha said the Power Show itself is like abig reunion each year.
“It’s not just the show. You meet so manywonderful people each year.”
The Power Show had a special event thisyear, dedicating a sign on one of the buildingsfor John Klaseus and John Hiniker of NorthMankato. The men, both deceased, were long-time members and supporters of the show,said Lorraine Klaseus, who was John’s wife.
In the 1980s the two men removed an oldsteam engine the city of Le Sueur was gettingrid of from its power plant and brought it tothe power show. “They dismantled it andbrought it to the show and built a buildingaround it,” she said.
Later, they got another big steam enginefrom the city of Lake Crystal and added onto
the building, which now bears their name.Tim Krohn is a reporter for The Free Press of
Mankato, Minn., a sister paper to The Land underThe Free Press Media. Krohn can be reached [email protected]. ❖

A pair of John Deere tractor drivers bring their machines to life duringthe Pioneer Power Show near Le Sueur, Minn.
By SARAH JOHNSONThe Land Correspondent
Looking for recipes in “The Minnesota Table:Recipes for Savoring Local Food Throughoutthe Year” (Voyageur Press) is like falling downa rabbit hole: The recipes are entirely sur-rounded by tempting stories, photos and origi-nal art that capture your eye and imagination.Hours later you remember you were hungryand start searching again … only to fall downanother rabbit hole. But procrastination neverfelt, or tasted, so good.
Readers get to meet nuns who bake com-munion wafers, yak farmers, apple growers,sausage makers and a host of other colorfulcharacters providing food for the Minnesotatable. There are sections on freezing berries,making the perfect pot of tea, and dryingherbs. It’s not just a cookbook; it’s a sit-down-and-read-it book offering lessons in cooking,eating and life in general.
■
I finally chose the Kale and Walnut Sauté, a decep-tively simple dish made stellar by a blend of flavorfulsesame and olive oils and a dash of rice vinegar. As aside dish for the carnivores and an entrée for thevegan, it was a tasty success, although kale is not onthe top of anybody’s list except for the vegan (go fig-ure). Four out of four “yums” from the Johnson clan.Kale and Walnut SautéServes 4 to 6
2 tablespoons sesame oil2 tablespoon olive oil4 cup chopped raw kale, ribs removed
1/3 cup toasted walnuts1 tablespoon soy sauce1⁄4 teaspoon black rice vinegarHeat sesame and olive oils over medium heat and
sauté kale until limp but still bright green. Toss withtoasted walnuts, season with soy sauce and vinegar,and serve.
■
Bacon and just a dash of cayenne pepper liven upthese deviled eggs. Better double the recipe if youwant to get any yourself.
Nick’s Devilish EggsServes 6
1 dozen large chicken eggs1⁄2 cup prepared mayonnaise1⁄2 cup full-fat sour cream1⁄2 teaspoon dried mustard1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper for sea-
soning, plus a sprinkle for garnishKosher or coarse sea salt, to taste1⁄4 pound bacon, crisp-cooked and
crumbled1⁄4 cup parsley leaves, finely minced
Fill a large saucepan with enough cold water tocover the dozen eggs. Add a pinch of salt, place theuncovered pan over high heat, and bring to a boil.Once the water begins to boil, remove the pan fromthe heat, cover, and let sit for 12-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, driedmustard, cayenne pepper and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Add crumbled bacon and minced pars-ley; set aside. Prepare an ice-water bath in a largebowl.

COOKBOOK, from pg. 23ADrain the hard-boiled eggs and immediately place
in the ice-water bath for 5-10 minutes. Once cooled,drain again. Roll the eggs in a kitchen towel to crackthe shells; they should peel off cleanly and easily.Cut the eggs in half lengthwise, scoop the yolks intoa bowl, and arrange the whites on the kitchen towel,cut side up.
Mash the eggs yolks in a large bowl with the backof a fork (or push through a ricer). Fold in the pre-pared dressing, taste for seasoning, and adjust. Placeegg yolk mixture in a pastry bag fitted with a largestar tip (or in a gallon-sized zip-top bag, snipping offone corner after filling); pipe into the cooked eggwhites. Garnish with cayenne pepper.

Grain AnglesChina ethanol
imports upLately news headlines about China have been less
than positive when it comes to U.S. agriculturalexports going to China. With China’s currencydevaluation putting a strain on U.S. agriculturalexports, and the stock market on the decline, anincrease in Chinese ethanolimports is one of the bright spots.
Recently COFCO, the state-rungrain trading company in China,has started importing sugar canebased ethanol out of Brazil fromNoble, a company which wasacquired earlier this past spring.This is thought to be the firstethanol shipped from Brazil toChina since 2012.
At the same time COFCO hasincreased ethanol imports fromthe United States. The U.S.ethanol industry is the largest inthe world, with over 14.3 billion gallons producedlast year. The majority of our ethanol is used domes-tically in gasoline blends. With ethanol blend ratesstuck at 10 percent, the industry is looking for addi-tional marketing channels until domestic gasolineblend levels potentially increase.
Increasing exports have been a priority for theindustry. In the past couple years ethanol exportshave accounted for roughly 4.5 percent to six percentof production. In 2015, year-to-date exports have sur-passed 2014 levels due to an influx in Chinese pur-chases.
Corn, the primary feedstock for U.S. ethanol pro-duction, costs about one third the price of heavilysubsidized corn prices in China. Therefore ethanol
Grain OutlookEarly frost talk
disappearsThe following market analysis is for the week end-
ing Sept. 4.CORN — December corn slid 12 cents lower last
week to close at $3.63 per bushel as it moves closerto the $3.57 1⁄2 contract low. Nearly ideal weatherwill finish off the crop in goodfashion and any talk about anearly frost disappeared. So goesChinese economic news, so goesour commodity markets. Thedemise last week began withChina’s Purchasing Managers’Index for August which fell to49.7 and indicates a contractingeconomy. This was their lowestrating since August 2012.China’s equity market wasclosed for their Victory Day thelast two trading days of theweek, allowing markets andplayers to position into the longLabor Day weekend.
Corn conditions fell just one percent to 68 percentgood/excellent as of Aug. 30, which was expected asthe growing season winds down. The coming weekwill likely see another decline. Sixty percent of thecrop was dented with nine percent of the cropmature versus 15 percent on average. The harvestpercentage won’t be reported for probably anothertwo weeks; but in the states’ individual reports, Illi-nois reported one percent of the crop had been har-vested versus three percent on average, Missouri attwo percent versus 11 percent average, Texas 50percent vs. 52 percent average, Louisiana 92 percentvs. 85 percent average and Mississippi 68 percentvs. 57 percent average.
Livestock AnglesCattle struggle,
drift lowerIt has been a very uneven past couple of weeks in
the livestock markets. The cattle market is strug-gling and drifting lower, while the hog market after arally in prices is beginning to turn lower. The eco-nomic conditions around the world seem to be domi-nating all markets these days.
Cattle prices have slipped thepast several weeks as demand forbeef has been very slow. Theweights of cattle have increaseddramatically over the past fewmonths which has offset to a cer-tain degree the lack of animalsavailable for slaughter. This hasweakened the position of the cat-tle feeder for the most part in theprice discovery process for thepast several weeks.
As a result prices have declinedto levels not seen for months. Itwould appear that if demand does not pick up signif-icantly in the very near future, cattle prices may con-tinue to slip lower.
One obstacle in the way of increased demand wouldbe the strength in the U.S. dollar which has madeexport business significantly more expensive forthose countries that import U.S. beef. Another impor-tant factor in the demand for beef is the fact that thecompetitive meats are of better value to the con-sumer than beef in poor economic conditions. Sodespite the fact that cattle numbers are expected toremain tight for some time, the demand has becomethe dominant feature in the price discovery process.
Producers should be aware of market conditionsand protect inventories as needed.

LENSING, from 26Aprices are also inflated in China. Theaccompanying chart is provided by theRenewable Fuels Association andshows U.S. production vs. demand.
The question remains, is this influxof Chinese ethanol buying a new trendthat’sbeendrivenby lower corn prices? Or, are the Chi-nese simply looking to fill inventoriesat today’s prices?
If ethanol exports were to increaseby 50 percent this year it would beequivalent to increasing corn demandby 150 million bushels. The ethanoltax credit has been discontinued sinceJanuary of 2012, however ethanol pro-ducers continue to provide the domes-tic and export markets with competi-tively priced fuel.

TEALE, from pg. 26AThe hog prices have also begun to
drift lower over the past few days asnumbers continue to be a little more than adequateto meet packer’s needs. Thus the slip in cash pricesthe past several days. The futures market has beenrallying despite the weakness in cash to close thegap in the large discount the futures have been
maintaining since the August con-tract expired.However, the outlook for a continued
fair supply of hogs and the questionable economicconditions, the anticipation of the market would stillsuggest further weakness lies ahead. The futuresmarket has anticipated the growing hog supply andare currently at a deep discount to cash. This dis-
count with futures will continue to shrink as cashand futures come together over time.
The positive news for pork is that it continues to bethe best value for meat protein at this time. This willnot likely create any major rallies in hog prices, butwill keep packers active in selecting live inventory.
Producers are urged to stay attuned to market con-ditions and stay current and protect inventories ifthe opportunity arises. ❖

NYSTROM, from pg. 26AInforma Economics updated their
crop estimates this week, pegging har-vested acres at 80.786 million acres, yield at 168.8bushels per acre for a total crop of 13.633 billionbushels. Minnesota’s yield was forecasted at 184bu./acre, Illinois at 180 bu./acre, Iowa 183 bu./acre,Indiana 160 bu./acre, Nebraska 184 bu./acre, NorthDakota 127 bu./acre and South Dakota at 155bu./acre.
Weekly export sales as a whole were a disappoint-ment with old crop sales of 4.4 million bushels bring-ing total old crop commitments to 1.866 billionbushels. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s lastforecast was for 1.85 billion bushels, so it looks likeexport sales will be on target. However, new cropsales were less than expected at 12.9 millionbushels.
Total 2015-16 export sales are just 274.3 millionbushels when last year we had 412.4 million bushelscommitted. As we begin the 2015-16 crop year,export sales are the lowest in 10 years.
Brazil’s August corn exports were a record 4.5 mmtwith another 5.4 mmt in the line-up. In that line-up,there were 50,000 metric tons nominated for Mexico.The 2012-13 crop year was the last time Brazil soldMexico corn. Also keep in mind, China implementednew stricter regulations Sept. 1 for permitting dis-tiller’s dried grains, sorghum, and barley imports.Trade talk also included hints that China may cutthe minimum corn support price paid to farmers by20 percent. U.S. corn export prices were runningabout $10 per ton higher than Brazilian origin lastweek. All of this is not friendly for U.S. corn prices.
Weekly ethanol production dropped4,000 barrels per day to 948,000 bpd
last week. Ethanol inventoriesincreased by 374,000 barrels to 19 million barrels.The relatively new USDA/NASS Grain Crush reportfor July indicated 448 million bushels of corn wereused for ethanol, on pace to achieve the forecast for5.2 billion bushels. Virginia’s only ethanol plant isclosing due to poor margins as they must pay to orig-
inate corn outside their deficit area.OUTLOOK: Traders will be eyeing the Sept. 11
USDA crop report as they return for a holidayshortened trading week. The corn trend is lowerand expectations will be for the trend to continueinto the World Agriculture Supply and DemandEstimates report. Speculators cut their net long

NYSTROM, from pg. 29Aposition by 2,717 contracts to a netlong position of 15,929 contracts as ofSept. 1, according to the latest Commitment ofTraders report. First support will be the contractlow at $3.57 1⁄2, then $3.46 3⁄4 per bushel. Resis-tance in the December contract lies at $3.75 3⁄4 perbushel.Corn basis for the week was mixed with processorsenjoying good margins and paying up for corn,while the export corridor was weaker on higher
barge freight. The nearby corn spreadwidened as corn deliveries againstthe September contract were heavy.
This pattern supports ideas the December/Marchspread may also weaken. December corn has fallenduring the month of September in 10 of the last 15years.
SOYBEANS — November soybeans tumbled 19cents lower in the week prior to the Labor Day holi-day. Without fresh bullish news, soybean prices areleaning toward the contract low of $8.55 per bushel.
Recent weather has allowed for a good finish to thecrop and supported ideas for excellent yields. Har-vest has begun in Minnesota and North Dakota, butearly news has been scarce. Soybean ratings as ofAug. 30 were steady for the fifth straight week at 63percent good/excellent. Usually we would begin tosee conditions decline as we go into September andthis year should not be an exception. Soybeans drop-ping leaves were nine percent on the last report com-pared to seven percent on average.
Informa Economics refreshed crop outlook put har-vested acres at 82.544 million acres, yield at 47.0bu./acre and production at 3.873 billion bushels.
Weekly export sales for old crop were a negative2.2 million bushels for a total 1.858 billion bushelscommitted as of Aug. 27. The USDA projection for2014-15 is 1.825 billion bushels. Export sales on theSeptember crop report could be expected to be raised15-20 million bushels. New crop sales at 56.3 millionbushels were better than anticipated, but broughttotal commitments to only 494.2 million bushels.Last year we had 796.4 million bushels booked.Export commitments for the 2015-16 crop year arethe second lowest in the last seven years. This weekwe did see some new crop sales with 773,000 metrictons to unknown and 110,000 metric tons to China.The pace needs to kick into gear if we expect toachieve the USDA 1.825 billion bushel export fore-cast for 2015-16.

MARKETINGThe pace needs to kick into gearif we expect to achieve the USDA1.825 billion bushel export fore-cast for 2015-16.
NYSTROM, from pg. 30AThe Brazilian real traded 70 per-
cent weaker versus the U.S. dollarthan a year ago. This makes Brazilian exports moreattractive than U.S. origin and is leading to outlooksthat include higher Brazilian soybean acreage in thecoming crop year. Informa’s fresh projection forBrazil’s 2015 soybean production is 99 mmt, anincrease of 1.5 mmt from last month.
Brazil’s soybeanplanting should beginin about two weeksand Argentina’s in amonth. AgRural esti-mated new cropBrazilian farmer sales at30 percent, much higherthan last year’s 10 per-cent pace. A strong ElNiño may also influenceArgentine and Brazilianplantings. Heavier rainearly in the season couldsupport ideas of switch-ing from corn to soybeans.
Interesting stats from the 2014 Tenure Ownershipand Transition of Agricultural Land survey, of the911 million acres of land in farms in the lower 48states, 61 percent is operated by the land owner,eight percent is rented from other farm operators,and 31 percent is rented from non-operating land-lords.
OUTLOOK: According to the latest COT report asof Sept. 1, speculators added 1,427 contracts to theirnet short position to put them at net short 38,298contracts. Soybean basis was generally lower thisweek as new crop bushels become available. Harvestis quickly approaching and without a significant
pick-up in demand the lower trend islikely to remain intact. Support in the
November soybean contract is the con-tract low at $8.55 with first resistance at $8.88 3⁄4per bushel. November soybeans during Septemberhave fallen in 11 of the last 15 years.
Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week end-ing Sept. 4: December Chicago wheat closed 16 cents
lower, Minneapolis wheat down 8 1⁄4 cents andKansas City wheat fell 3⁄4 cents per bushel. Crude oilvolatility was high for the week, but when it was allsaid and done prices were only up 83 cents at $46.05per barrel.The ultra-low-sulfur diesel contract showedonly a half-cent increase for the week, reformulatedblendstock for oxygenate blending rallied nearly 2 1⁄4cents, and natural gas retreated six cents. ❖

Paul Bunyan and Babe have seena lot since they moved to Bemidjisome 80 years ago. Recently, dur-
ing the summer of 2015, constructionworkers and machines buzzed aboutthem as they worked on a park reno-vation project.
As you may know, Paul and Babewere invited there by the businesscommunity to boost tourism. Eversince, the two heroes have posed forphotos with generations of lovely anduncomplaining children. Then thefamilies have happily patronizedBemidji businesses. It has been a suc-cessful partnership.
In the winter of 1971 my brother andI had the opportunity to dine with agentleman who worked with Mr. Bun-yan in the forests of North Dakotashortly before Bunyan’s retirement.We lived in the woods outside of Elyand were off our luck. Our choiceswere to get on food stamps or becomeloggers for the renowned Harry Honer.
In ’71 the snow was deep and no onewanted woods work. The food stampapplication line snaked down Sheri-dan Street, along the Fernberg Road,across Moose Lake to the Canadianborder. A few applicants got in line onthe border’s north side and werepicked up by the Royal CanadianMounted Police and incarcerated inAtikokan. They ate well. That’s whenthe term Canadian Food Stampsstarted.
We didn’t have enough gas in the vanto get to Moose Lake so we headed upthe Echo Trail to work for Mr. Honer.
“You boys *#%? better do it right,” hegrowled.
Once we turned off the trail Mr.Honer’s crews had excavated tunnelsthrough the snow and we drovethrough them to the logging site.There a fellow handed us shovels.
“Trees is that way,” he pointed.We started digging. Pretty soon my
brother struck a tree trunk. He sawedit off at the stump. It couldn’t fall over
so I tunneled up it, swamping off thelimbs as I climbed. Near the top Ibroke through the surface of the snow.I cut the top off, climbed back downthe tunnel I’d made, and we dug ourway to the next big spruce.
We did 31 trees by lunch and werepretty hungry. We walked down thetunnel until we saw a light at the end.
Joe Logger’s shack was there. He waseating moose and spruce grouse stew.He shared it. We shared our wild haresandwiches with him.
That’s when he told us about work-ing with Mr. Bunyan on Teddy Roo-sevelt’s logging crew along the LittleMissouri in western Dakota.
“Skeeters was bad,” he began. ❖

S E C T I O N BTHE LAND September 11, 2015
KYLA MAUKHometown: Howard Lake, Minn.Status: Sophomore at South Dakota State University, majoring in Ag EducationFactoid: Recently named 2015 Princess Kay of the Milky Way
What is your role as Princess Kay? “I’ll be visiting throughout the state wherever I can be a voice for theMinnesota dairy industry.”What got you interested in the Princess Kay competition?“When I was little we’d come to the State Fair. I would see the buttersculptures of the dairy princess candidates and I thought ‘that would bereally cool to have my head carved out of butter.’ As I got older I realizedmore and more what the Princess Kay program is all about. In essence, itis communicating with people what dairy farming and milk production isall about and the hard work and dedication it demands. That’s truly why Igot involved.”How can being a college student and being Princess Kay work out — Howcan you do both? “Last year I was the Minnesota State FFA Officer so I learned how tojuggle that with being a full time SDSU student. It’s all about timemanagement. I enjoy talking with my college professors. They alwayswork with me and my schedule as Princess Kay. I think everything will gowell.”

DANIEL ROKERHometown: Bird Island, Minn.Status: Freshman at South Dakota State University, majoring in Animal ScienceFactoid: This is Daniel’s 13th year as a 4-H member doing swine
You’re about to show your registered spot barrow. What do you learn from doing this?“Responsibility, a good work ethic, how to develop your own skills. and very likely this issomething I can do in the future. I’m learning how to run a business and it is a good learningexperience.” Your barrow weighs 281 lbs. What might this pig bring you if it is the champion? “Anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000.”
KAREN ROKERStatus: Mom to Daniel and his big sister, Lisa
How many 4-H’ers from your county are at the State Fair this year? “I’m not certain but we have six kids showing in the swine project. Lots of others are showing invarious livestock categories. So I would estimate there are 15 or 20 Renville County kids herethis year. There would have been even more if the poultry division had not been cancelled.”How many State Fairs have you attended? (Laughing) “Probably 30 or 40. Many of them as a 4-H member and later years working inExtension, and now having my own kids here, too. The State Fair is a tremendous experience for4-H kids wherever they live.”

For me, it’s the best week ofthe year. Yet within its sevendays it literally reeked. On oneof the first nights of our familyvacation up north, it started.
When youngest daughterMelanie and I entered ourvacation home on Monday eveI said, “The good news is that Imissed the deer. The bad newsis that I nixed a skunk.” Wecarried its residue into thehome and no one doubted ourreport.
A few sleeps later on our first night back at thefarm we had a problem no one wants or wishes for.Something went awry with the septic system thatwrenched the strongest stomach. Whether outside orinside the home there was no masking the foul. Can-dles tried; time won.
Two days later on a way to an appointment wherewe would mix in the midst of town folks mostly iso-lated from country odor, Mike and I stopped to talkto manure haulers. Mike lowered the window and Imasked how it took my breath away. Yet one of theguys asked, “Did you bring pop and cookies?”
Are you kidding me? In the smell he’s wondering ifwe brought snacks?
As if once, instead of thrice, wasn’t enough for theconvincing, I thought, “ You get used to the stench.”In all three scenarios what was initially an unbeliev-able stink, in time became tolerable — nearly unno-ticeable.
And it caused me to think on my mom’s commen-tary of a childhood sitcom, “Three’s Company.” I saidit was funny; she did not. In a show revolving aroundthree single roommates — two girls and one guy, thebasis of the show stank with innuendos. No need toshow and tell, the context was enough for her to say,“No go.” And when Mom said no, no meant no. At thetime, I disagreed.
In today’s world “Three’s Company” would not be acrowd, but part of the crowd and culture. It’s nowtame in the name of entertainment. As a show it’smild for the morning, and in the eve may even lulllittle ones to sleep.
What happened? And how did this happen? Ibelieve we got used to the stench. What used to because for alarm is now status quo. Trash talk becametrendy, the shocking is standard, and the amissacceptable.
Some say, “If you can’t beat them, join them.” Wecan nod and shrug in agreement or we can stand up,speak up, and live in the light.
Moving our youngest daughter into downtownChicago for the fall semester was a step of faith by

BULTHUIS, from pg. 2BMike and me. Although it may not be abig deal for city folk, it was hard for us.We love country roads where we recog-nize people by pickups and greet folkson the street by name.
But this is what she wanted and herheart’s desire lined up with ours. She’sworking with an organization thatinspires “motivated individuals tobreak the cycle of homelessness andpoverty, transform their lives,strengthen their communities, andforge paths to real and lasting success.”
She was almost apologetic to be
moved into a gigantic community thatis served by a seemingly minusculeministry that helps the hurting. “It’s asmall organization,” she said.
I quickly corrected her, as moms canreadily do.
“The size of the organization doesn’tmatter,” I said. “What makes the differ-
ence is what is done in relationship.”If you want to change the world, it
happens one person at a time.Got something gone wrong in your
community or your side of the tracks orsection? Instead of talking about it,speak face to face with the ones in themidst of it. Within conversation you’llmore readily understand theirthoughts and choices. Build a relation-ship, and you could change the trajec-
tory of their lives.Replace stench with friendship.And
within that friendship you may experi-ence hope and peace that changes theworld with the sweet aroma of God’s love.

Dahlias are magnificentstars of the late summergarden. They take a longtime to produce their blos-soms from spring plantingof the tubers, to bud devel-opment, and then to the pro-lific display of flowers justwaiting to be admired or cutand used in floral bouquets.
A standout in our gardenis a huge white dahlianamed “My Love.” It has awhite inflorescence and acream colored center. It literally begsto be included in an arrangement andlooks lovely paired with mauve andmaroon hues.
Tips on growing dahlias: Plant in asunny location that gets five to eighthours of sun each day. Stake plantsthat are three feet or taller. Water twice
a week for 30 minutes witha sprinkler. Dahlias love lotsof water. Fertilize with a lownitrogen fertilizer such as a5-10-10 product.
Weeding should be doneby hand. The plants arevery sensitive to herbicides.Most products that are safeto use on vegetable cropscan be used on dahlias.Slugs love eating newsprouts as well as maturefoliage so use a slug bait
after planting and as needed through-out the summer. For bushier plantswith larger blooms, pinch or cut thecenter just above the third set of leaveswhen the plant is about two feet tall.
Tips on dividing and storing tubers:After the first frost has nipped thefoliage it is time to dig and store the
tubers. Carefully lift with a fork andhose off the dirt. Let the tubers dry in ashady place for about three days.
Divide the clump by cutting each oneoff being sure to include at least oneeye. The eyes are on the top where thetuber joins the stem.
I usually store the tubers in their bigclump and divide them in the springjust before planting. Pack the tubers inpeat moss or vermiculite in cardboardboxes lined with newspaper and storein cool temperature of 40-50 F. Most
basements work well forwinter storage.
Check periodically dur-ing storage to see ifthere are any issueswith dryness or rot andremove affected tubers.
Tips on using dahliasas cut flowers: The besttime to cut your flowersis in the cool early morn-ing. Place the cut dahliastems in 2-3 inches ofvery hot water (160-180F) and allow to cool forabout an hour. This hotwater treatment willmake the blossoms lastfrom four to six days in
the house.A source for purchasing dahlias that
has the largest selection of varieties inthe United States is Swan IslandDahlias in Oregon. Their websiteaddress is www.dahlias.com and thenew 2016 catalog can be requested bycalling (800) 410-6540.
