On Sept. 30, 1976, The Land began com-ing to the homes of southern Minnesotafarmers. While many things have changedin the last 40 years — commodity prices,land values, the size and number offarms, technology, equipment, seed —many things have stayed the same.

Farmers still talk about prices andweather. They still wear seed caps to keepthe sun and rain off their face. So a shoutout to all those seed companies that giveaway free ball caps. They are much appre-ciated.

From the Farm Crisis to the SuperCycle, The Land has been a trustednews source. The Land staff hasstayed true to our mission to bringyou informative and entertainingnews about agriculture and rural liv-ing. Thanks to our readers and adver-tisers, we’re still doing that today.We’ve expanded to cover all of Min-nesota and northern Iowa and ournational ag coverage includes theglobal marketplace.

But let’s take a look back. In 1976,our readers were selling equipment inour Farmer’s Market pages for $1.50 foreight lines. I checked out our July 7,1977, issue to see what was going onthen. Editor Susan Torgerson reportedthat U.S. commodity exchanges wereexpected to reach a trillion dollars intrade volume. Torgerson asked expertson the Minneapolis Grain Exchangewhat share of that goes to farmers. Price projectionsfrom Market Outlook were $1.90 to $2 for corn and$7-$8 for soybeans.

The issues affecting farms in 1977 were similar totoday: armyworms, chlorosis, mastitis. The Univer-sity of Minnesota Southern Research and OutreachCenter was known as an experiment station andhosted a crops and soils field day on June 28, 1977.About 1,500 gathered to learn from U of M scientistsand test plots.

In the summer of 1977, Crystal Gayleplayed the Faribault County Fair and theNora Free Church in rural Hanska hosteda summer solstice festival. A CottonwoodCounty family was featured for using acomputer as a key management andrecord-keeping tool in their hog operation.The Land wrote that the computer hadbecome a farm implement.

Yes, our lives and how we operate ourbusinesses have changed exponentially in40 years. Back in 1976, we asked readers

to join us in making The Land a “livelypublication.” That hasn’t changed.

We still want your comments and sto-ries. That’s why we’re getting the con-versation going with photos from ourarchives. For “Blasts from the Past,”visit www.TheLandOnline.com orsearch TheLandOnline on Facebook.This week’s Blast from the Past is thePischner family of Lake Crystal,Minn., with their 8-foot-8-inch corn

stalk which shot up in an early growthspurt. Daryl and Harold Pischner werefeatured in our July 7, 1977, issue.

It’s hard to think of sum-mer without thinking of themany neighbors we sharedthe southern Illinois heat,humidity, and mosquitoeswith on the dairy farm of myyouth.

Back then, in the mid-1960s, we’d often see neigh-bors across the table-flatMississippi river bottoms asthey cultivated corn or soy-beans and we baled straw orraked hay.

One set of neighbors, thebachelor brothers ofWoodrow, Elvin, and Tanny L., owned land on eitherside of our farm. So six days a week, one of the menwould ka-push, ka-push past our house on theirJohnny Popper A. If Elvin was at its wheel, he’d waveto my brothers and me like a long-gone uncle utterlydelighted to meet his newly-discovered nephews.

Since we milked 100 Holsteins, we’d see manyneighbors during their evening trips to the dairy barnto buy our 50-cents-a-gallon milk. The price neverchanged; the neighbors rarely did. Most arrived just intime to visit while we milked the last couple of cows.

Those visits leaned more towards local news thanlocal gossip. Felix V. could be counted on to tell us ifthe morels were up. Young John O. (there was an OldJohn O.), who was the deckhand on the nearby Mis-sissippi River ferry, always knew if the river was ris-ing, falling or, as he liked to say, “on a stand.” IvanM., who worked at a local grain elevator, offered theweek’s price for wheat, corn, and soybeans.

Sometimes a neighbor came to the dairy barn toarrange an equipment or manpower swap. For exam-ple, my father often borrowed Gary K.’s three-point,two-row John Deere planter to plant the many rowsour six-row Oliver planter, the world’s worst, hadskipped due to its faulty engineering and our faultyattention.

In return, Dad would combine Gary’s red clover orloan him our baler on a June day when it wasn’t thedusty center of his sons’ sweaty universe.

No one on either side of those transactions evertalked money. We were neighbors and neighborswere neighborly.

Money did change hands however, when we boughtfood from each other. We always bought our butcherhogs from a neighbor — usually Elmer B. Also, everyweek we purchased four dozen eggs from Mrs. M.with the same dollar bill her son Ivan, the elevatorman, had given us a couple of days earlier on hisweekly, two-gallon milk run.

Two months ago, on a perfect spring day, I visitedmost of those old neighbors atop the nearby bluffduring a slow meander through St. Leo’s CatholicChurch Cemetery. I saw, for the first time in decades,Elvin’s hearty wave, Mrs. M.’s lipsticked smile, andGary’s deeply creased grin.

Far below in the blue distance lay the lovely, fertilebottoms where they had spent their entire lives,often together, making a living and enjoying life.

None ever had much money by today’s never-enoughstandards. But they had something money can neverbuy — the rarely-mentioned respect and the never-mentioned love of their neighbors.

Today that respect and love — that neighborliness

— seems to end at the property line or courthousesteps. For example, on June 14, voters in NorthDakota rejected, by a resounding 3-1 margin, their

Is farm ‘neighborliness’ a long-gone value of the past?

OPINION

I’ve come to understand, after all theseyears on the farm, that even the mostvaliant effort to get things done willoften remain just that — an effort.

Even the farm wife who has it alltogether will run into this phenomenonnow and then — like when she goes toclean the mud room or garage in latewinter and early spring.

The scoop shovel isn’t sitting outsideher front door just because it looks soelegant there.

When a push broom won’t do the trickanymore, she can be found on the business end ofthe shovel, scraping and scooping out dirt and pilesof grime that the car and pickup drag in from late-winter, quagmire-like gravel roads. She may alsodiscover a dehydrated hot dog that strayed from its

bun at last summer’s family picnic, andmaybe even some sheep’s wool that clungonly temporarily to someone’s shoes orclothing on shearing day.

Now that our children are grown, I’mdone finding lamb’s tails in the garageand on the basement floor. They used tobe brought in by much smaller (but justas dirty) hands that were ‘helping’ theirDad on the farm — hands that had comeacross such irreplaceable treasures thathad to be clutched carefully and broughtto the house to be preserved in specialhiding places.

She knows that during lambing and calving sea-son, the effects of her work of scooping out and fumi-gating the mud room or garage will be short-lived,lasting until everyone comes in from chores. At thatpoint, the aroma and unavoidable hint of a naturalfertilizer deposit is enough to send her nose hairsretreating.

Some of the bank deposits she’s made over years oflivestock market dives have smelled just as bad.

Sometimes staying focused on just one project isthe biggest trick for the woman of the house, whooften finds herself being the web that binds allfacets of the farm family together.

Just this week one day I sat down at the computerto get some writing done, when my husband asked ifI had time to help with sheep chores before he leftfor the morning. The sheep were lambing and choresare more labor-intense at that time, so I set my writ-ing aside until I could come back in and get a good

start.Shortly after I returned to the office he asked if I

knew where some Farm Service Agency papers werethat he needed for one of his morning errands. Irounded them up, changed laundry loads and gotstarted on my writing, and soon it was time to meetour daughter for lunch.

When I got home, I put supper in the oven andwas gathering some thoughts for my writing assign-ment, when my husband said he was going to thebank and wondered what our immediate financeslooked like. Of course I hadn’t balanced the check-book yet, so I put my writing aside and worked onthat so he could go to the bank a more informed bor-rower.

I’d been back at it a short time before our soncame in asking if he could have a haircut before hewas to leave the next day for an event.

By the end of the day, by the time their needs weremet, the laundry was done and put away, supperwas over and the kitchen was cleaned up; but beforeit was time to check the impending sheep and cowmothers before we went to bed, my family hadeverything they needed to keep themselves going.But my writing was in only slightly better shapethan it was when the day began. I made the valianteffort, but it fell short of success.

Wait until the cows find out what it’s really like tobe a mom on the farm.

They’ll need all four stomachs.Karen Schwaller brings “Table Talk” to The Land

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Senate Agricul-ture Committee Chairman Pat Roberts(R-Kansas) and Ranking Member Deb-bie Stabenow (D-Michigan) announced compromiselegislation on biotech labeling on June 23. The Min-nesota AgriGrowth Council supports the legislation,which would create a national standard for labelingfood that contains gentically modified organisms.

AgriGrowth Executive Director Perry Aasnessreleased the following statement:

“We strongly support the GMO labeling legislationdrafted by Chairman Roberts and Ranking MemberStabenow, because it will help avoid the economiccosts and confusion that would result if we allowed apatchwork of state laws to go into effect.

“Biotechnology in agriculture has provided numer-ous benefits, including increased crop yields,decreased use of pesticides and it is absolutely safefor consumers. A national standard for labelingbiotech food that will also prevent confusing andcostly state-by-state GMO labeling requirements is

crucial for farmers, food producers andfor consumers. We thank ChairmanRoberts and Ranking Member Stabenow

for their leadership on this issue, and we urge theSenate to pass the biotech labeling agreement assoon as possible.”

The Senate takes up the bill the week of June 27.The bill needs 60 votes to pass the Senate followedby House approval of the legislation. Last July, theHouse passed a bill that established a voluntarylabeling system and banned states from makingtheir own labeling laws. The national legislation is inresponse to a Vermont labeling law requiring labelson food containing genetically modified ingredients.The Vermont law goes into effect July 1.

This article was submitted by Minnesota Agri-Growth Council.

GUEBERT, from pg. 3legislature’s loosening of the state’s corporate farm-ing law.

That overwhelming defeat, however, will not deterthe North Dakota Farm Bureau from pursuing itsfederal court suit to have the century-old state lawdeclared unconstitutional. After the vote, NDFB’spresident, Daryl Lies, said the suit must continuebecause “Our court system is the only appropriateplace to settle this question without the issue beingderailed by emotion.”

Not true. Lies’ neighbors from every city, village

and farm in North Dakota calmly and democratically“settled” the “question” by a perfectly clear 75-to-25percent margin.

In rejecting that outcome, though, the NDFB againproved what a growing segment of the Americanpublic now firmly believes: Farmers love to talk toconsumers; they just don’t want to listen to ‘em.

FOLLOWING THE2016 GROWING SEASON

By KRISTIN KVENO The Land Correspondent

Andy Pulk, Roseau, Minn.June 15The weather in Andy Pulk’s neck of the woods has been “more of thesame.” That includes rain, just enough sun to start to dry out thefield, then rain some more. The Land spoke with Pulk on June 15. Hesaid he has been “spraying on and off between rain showers.” Cornand rye grass have been sprayed but Pulk has some soybeans andwheat left to finish.

Pulk has been spending some quality time in the sprayer including 175 acres of wheaton June 14. It wasn’t smooth sailing spraying the wheat; Pulk said he was “fightingsome mud with the sprayer.” Though wheat overall “looks pretty darn good,” he noted. The corn hasn’t yet hit its big growth spurt as it’s currently 6 to 10 inches high. Pulk willbe either side dressing his corn with anhydrous or top dressing with urea. “If the weathercooperates we’ll try to do both,” he said. Pulk is happy to report that “We’re ahead ofgrowing degree days for corn by quite a bit.” There’s a warming trend forecasted for theweekend, which would definitely help move the corn along. Warm weather is nice butPulk is “praying for dry weather.” The field conditions are “definitely wetter than wewould like to be.”Overall, Pulk is “very pleased” with the crops this growing season. They look far betterso far then the crops on the Pulk farm the last few years. All that is needed now is thesun to dry out the fields and really give these crops a boost.

Kent Moser, Rock Rapids, IowaJune 24Spraying, spraying and more spraying. While Kent Moser isn’t donewith the sprayer, his focus has shifted as he’s “concentrating moreon soybean spraying and finishing up corn.” The Land spoke withMoser on June 24 as he was viewing the crops with greateroptimism than in the past few weeks.The corn looks “overall, very well,” Moser reported. There was some

strong wind and hail that went through the area a few weeks ago that “root logged thecorn a little bit,” he said. Fortunately the corn was able to bounce back. After that:“Corn has really taken off,” he said. Soil testing that Moser has done has shown lowerlevels of nitrogen in the soil. The result: “Lots of interest in side dressing. With therain that we had we may have lost more nitrogen than we thought,” he said. Moserplans to begin side dressing nitrogen in the corn. Next up, Moser expects to soon be“scouting fields for root worm issues that may pop up.”The soybeans are “excellent,” he said. The bean “fields are staying fairly clean.”Moser has seen no big issues yet. He has however, seen more of a range inbean growth due to the various planting dates.“I’m optimistic in the progress that we’ve made,” Moser said. The timely rains have allowed for “good root development.” This has resulted in thecrops doing “a lot better.”

John Nielsen, Albert Lea, Minn. June 23After a wet period including some bouts of hail, the Nielsen farmhas been missing the recent heavy rains. So much in fact, thatthey could actually use a little moisture now. The Land spoke withJohn Nielsen on June 23 as he reported that the corn has takenoff after the rain. Knee high by the fourth of July? Try shoulderhigh by June 23 in some of Nielsen’s fields.

“The corn is generally good to excellent,” he said. However, there are some yellowstreaks. “I don’t know if it’s from too much rain or compaction problems,” Nielsensaid. Side dressing of corn was completed on May 18.Nielsen finished spraying his soybeans on May 21 and now they’re starting to reallygrow. “They look relatively good, even the ones that got nicked by hail,” he reported. Now that spraying is complete: “We’re set here until the aphids come,” he said.Nielsen expects that to happen in about six weeks.Nielsen continues to work on projects on the farm including “preparing a site fornew bins this week.” He is quick to point out that there’s “always a lot to do” on thefarm.While there’s always work to be done, a little fun is also necessary. Nielsen openedup his pool for the summer on June 22. The grandkids are enjoying the time in thewater and Nielsen is enjoying the beautiful summer evenings, even more so withoutthe annoyance of mosquitoes so far. “Not many mosquitoes here yet,” he said. Crops are looking good; fantastic memories are being made with grandkids andalmost no mosquitoes. Now that’s a great start to the summer.

Joan Lee, McIntosh, Minn.June 16The weather finally cooperated enough on the Leefarm to start chopping hay. The Land spoke withJoan Lee on June 16 as she reported: “We hadchopped what we wanted to for first crop hay.”There were over 30 loads of hay that filled up halfthe silo. In addition, “We did market round bales,”

she said. Lee may have to wet bale the remaining crop. Lee startedcutting on June 5 and she said they still have a little they haven’tcut down.The corn needs some warmer days to really get it going; the lack ofheat has “hurt the germination a bit.” The oats “look really good.”Lee observed a “definite line in the field from where Mark (Lee’shusband) hauled manure and where he didn’t.” The manure side,she said is a more vibrant green. The soybeans for the most partare doing “pretty well.” Meanwhile, the wheat is “coming up reallywell,” she said. Lee will be busy the next few weeks. “Hopefully finishing up withhay crop,” she said. “Continuing cultivating the organic corn andbean crop.” The conventional wheat and beans will be sprayed.The rain seems to be a constant on the Lee farm this spring andearly summer. Lee voiced concern that the crops are going to showa little more stress with the moisture if the rain continues. “The moisture is creating a little more of a challenge right now,”Lee said.

The rain — or lack thereof — justabout destroyed your crops a year orthree ago.

Seems the weather’s always wrong,prices are lower than they need to be,and there’s always a hole in some fencesomewhere. Still, you’d never have itany other way, so read “Dear CountyAgent Guy” by Jerry Nelson. You mightas well laugh, right?

More than three generations ago,when Jerry Nelson’s great-grandparentsbegan farming on “the open prairies ofeastern South Dakota,” they had no ideathat they were leaving a legacy. Fromthem, Nelson inherited a love of theland, a career, a ramshackle ancestral cottage and,presumably, a good sense of humor.

For a few years after high school, Nelson farmednear the old homestead and eventually co-farmedwith his father. That was after he decided that lifewould be better with a little “female companionship,”and he took a wife.

The two sons that came afterward were a nice com-plement to the wife thing, although having themwasn’t like getting a new calf. With sons, there was ahospital involved and a lot of huffing and puffing.Having been through all this birthing stuff before,Nelson kindly offered his calf-puller, noting that hav-ing a baby was easy for a cow so why was it such abig deal to his wife’s midwife?

Kidding aside though, a farm is a great place toraise a family. Nelson’s great-grandparents did it.

His grandparents raised their childrenon a farm, as did his parents and that’swhere Nelson’s boys grew up. It’s wherethe old family cabin moldered until it fell apart, andwhere Nelson found a letter from his father datedlong before Nelson was born. It’s where silage doesn’ttaste very good (but the cows sure love it); where aman with a pickup is everybody’s friend; and wherefavorite foods are served, even if one’s wife must holdher nose.

The farm is where pastures hold memories of timesspent with Dad. It’s where lessons are learned thatstick with a boy long after he becomes a man. It’swhere cows are pets, snow is no excuse to stay home,and where lives change because accidents happen.

Maybe it’s just me, but I couldswear I smelled fresh countryair while reading “Dear CountyAgent Guy.”

Yep, this book reminded me ofwarm spring afternoons, whenyou’re driving on a dirt road andyou stop to jaw a minute with aneighbor on a dusty tractor. It’slike finally finding that newborncalf in the woods and it’s a heifer!There are loving-the-farmmoments, wrapped inside hating-the-losses chapters. And yes, thereare times when reading this bookis like watching someone pratfallin a fresh cow-pat because authorJerry Nelson sprinkles good-natured, genuine humor all overhis essays here.

I laughed out loud more than once at this book,and I think you’ll like it, too especially if you under-stand its very title. For you then, grab “DearCounty Agent Guy” and plant yourself down.

Look for the reviewed book at a bookstore or alibrary near you. You may also find the book atonline book retailers.

Author Margaret Guthrie notes, inher 1987 classic cookbook “BestRecipes of Minnesota Inns andRestaurants”, that “painters, sculp-tors, musicians and writers, by theirvery creativity, live on. What a chefcreates is eaten up. No evidence is leftof her or his genius, except an emptyplate.”

And so began her quest to documentsample recipes from some of the greatdining establishments across Min-nesota before they were lost forever.From Wabasha’s Anderson House toNorthfield’s Archer House, on towardsDuluth’s Fitzger’s Inn and throughBrainerd’s Kavanaugh’s Restaurant,Stillwater’s Lowell Inn and the Nani-boujou Lodge in Grand Marais,Guthrie found her precious recipes.

Here are a few to savor for yourself.■

Black pepper: the reason Columbusset sail for China and bumped into theAmericas instead, where he ended upbecoming a tyrant and dying an awfuldeath. In this recipe, the black pepperplays a happier role, covering thesteak with its spicy love and gettingseared in deep.Pepper SteakMichael’s Restaurant, Rochester

1 (8 ounce) sirloin steak, 2 inchesthick

Cracked black pepperKosher saltGarlic saltSeasoning saltGround black pepper

1/4 cup butter1/4 cup lemon juice1/3 cup dry white winePress coarsely ground black pepper

into both sides of steak. Sprinkle bothsides with kosher salt, garlic salt, sea-soning salt and ground black pepper.In a heavy skillet, melt butter over hotfire, add lemon juice and sear steakson both sides. Cook until desireddegree of doneness. Transfer meat to aserving platter. Heat white wine inskillet with beef juices. Swirl the panover the flame and pour the juices overthe steak.

Finally, a great new way to fixchicken breasts! Exquisitely tender andmoist, with a delicately sweet glaze,Champagne Chicken is my new go-tochicken dish. It’s easy and light andgoes with any kind of meal — from a

Notice how wine and butter are com-mon features in these restaurantrecipes? That’s because those things are

the delicious “secret” ingredients atmany a fine restaurant: tons of butterand booze. The next recipe however, is abit more countrified with the additionof beer instead of wine.Pork Medallions in Mushroom BeerGravyThe Palmer House, Sauk Centre

NEW ULM, Minn. — It is difficult to know whichis a more interesting story to tell, the one about chil-dren’s author Wanda Gag, or the one about the fanci-ful house in which she grew up that was designed byher father, Anton Gag. Since Ms. Gag (rhymes withfog) achieved her greatest success after she left Min-nesota, we’ll concentrate on her childhood home inNew Ulm, which has been lovingly restored.

While the artistic value of the house can be cred-ited to her father, it is of historic interest becauseWanda Gag grew up here, so first a bit of her story.

Wanda was the first of seven children born toAnton and Lissi Gag. When she was a year old,Anton designed a two-and-one-half story house thatwas built on what was then the edge of New Ulm.Anton was a painter and photographer. He and Lissiwere Bohemians, who encouraged their children inall things related to music and the arts.

Gag was 15 when her father died in 1908.“She immediately started writing stories, doing

illustrations, and sending them to publications tomake money,” said Sharon Glotzbach, president ofthe Wanda Gag House Association.

After high school, Gag taught country school for ayear and then received an offer to attend art schoolin Minneapolis.

“New Ulm people were really unhappy that Wandawent off to art school,” Glotzbach said. “They thoughtshe should have stayed in New Ulm and worked tohelp the family.”

Gag was however, working and earning moneywith her art and writing. She eventually went toNew York to further her career. While there, in 1928,she wrote and illustrated “Millions of Cats”.

“This is what put Wanda on the map,” Glotzbachsaid. “It has never been out of print since 1928 — thelongest in-print picture book in the United States.She printed it horizontally rather than vertically —spreading illustrations across two pages, which hadnever been done before.”

After her mother died in 1917, Gag’s siblings hadjoined her in Minneapolis. Some of them followed herto New York, and then to her home in Connecticut,

which she built afterher success. Her litho-graphs, paintings, andbooks led to a com-fortable life, whichended with her deathat the age of 63 in1946.Wanda Gag House

When all of the Gagchildren had movedfrom the New Ulm house, it became a boardinghouse for rural high school students. The ownersadded a porch to the front and made other changes.

“They covered up some windows. There were 27windows — which were a lot of windows for the day— to make it more accommodating for the board-ers,” Glotzbach said.

Open turret porches were enclosed, and in timefinials were removed from the roof and it got differ-ent siding. For many years, the only indication ithad been the home of a famous author was a littlesign designating it as the Gag house. The sign wasput up by University of Minnesota Women manyyears ago.

Today, that has all changed. By simply driving by,you would know it was no ordinary house. It took 10years, $250,000, and thousands of volunteer hoursto restore the house to its original condition.

GAG HOUSE, from pg. 9“Charlotte and Hobart Anderson were the

couple that were instrumental in startingthe restoration and completing it,” Glotzbachsaid. “They were the drivers of the restora-tion.”

In 1988, the house came up for sale, and“people didn’t realize what a gem there wasunder all of that siding,” she said. Fortu-nately, a group of people who had just fin-ished the renovation of the John Lind housewere looking for another project. The WandaGag House Association was formed and theybought the house for $24,000 and began therestoration, which was completed in 2008.

Anton Gag used all of his artistic ability indesigning the house. He used that ability todecorate the inside with stencils, paintings,and the like.

“The Gags did not have a lot of money, sohe built a house to look like a rich person’shouse,” Glotzbach said. “It had seven differ-ent colors of paint on the outside. It had 27windows in seven different shapes. If you think howthis house was on the outskirts of New Ulm whenhe built it, it was a pretty amazing house going upkind of in the middle of nowhere.”

Seven seemed to be a number Anton wasattracted to. The house had seven rooms. There areseven walls in the main room downstairs. There areseven areas of stencil in the house, seven exterior

colors, and seven different shapes of the 27 windows(a number divisible by seven). Anton even died atage 49, which is divisible by seven.

Of all the changes made by previous owners, noneof them were structural, such as moving a wall. Withthe aid of some glass negatives, which showed theoriginal structure with the finials on the roof and allthe different kinds of windows, WGHA painstakingly

restored the house as close as possible to itsoriginal 1894 look.

“Every room has a piece of the wallpaperthat was here when the restoration started,”Glotzbach said. “Under the wallpaper theyfound the stencils and painted them in. Thewalls are original color. (The restorers) tookwallpaper off and did not do anything to thewalls after the wallpaper was off.”

There was no attempt to furnish the house,since no original furniture would be available.But WGHA has obtained some original litho-graphs and art work by Wanda which hang onthe walls. Also displayed is work by her sisterFlavia (also an artist and author) and brotherHoward (a musician by trade who hand-let-tered Wanda’s children’s books), as well aspaintings by Anton.

Anton moved his photography studio fromdowntown New Ulm to the top floor of thehouse until having seven children (yes,another number seven) required the space fora bedroom. Glotzbach said he then concen-

trated on painting, doing murals in homes andchurches. His murals can be seen in the Cathedral ofthe Holy Trinity in New Ulm. He had a paintinghanging in Minnesota’s capitol building, but his artusually did not go beyond New Ulm.

This summer, the house has a display of originalworks by Wanda Gag. Gag’s works are also on dis-play at the Brown County Museum in New Ulm. ❖

BALATON, Minn. — The school inBalaton, a small Lyon County town,has closed its doors to students. Thebuilding still looks like a school fromthe outside. The entry and hallwaysare reminiscent of a school. The gym-nasium is still a hub of activity. Ath-letic teams from nearby Tracy use thefacility as an extra practice site, and itis an ideal place for a variety of com-munity events, including weddings.

But the Ralco company’s tru ShrimpSystems has converted the metal,wood and welding classrooms into alaboratory where research is beingconducted to bring shrimp farming tothe area. The former school library hasbeen transformed into a Ralco officesuite, and the industry is outgrowingthe space.

To get the full picture of a shrimpfarm near Balaton, step into a timecapsule and travel back to 1971. BobGalbraith turned his garage into awarehouse to store animal feed whichhe sold under the Ralco trademark.Fast forward to 2026. Galbraith’sgrandson, Brian Knochenmus, is presi-dent of Ralco while his father, Jon, ispresident emeritus and adviser.

“Customer and consumer safety hasalways been and will remain at theforefront of decision making at Ralco,”said Brian Knochenmus.

The family-owned business in Mar-shall works toward “enhancing the

vitality of plants andanimals for a safeand abundant globalfood supply.” Ralco’sproducts are distrib-uted in over 30 coun-tries. When the com-pany wanted toexpand into raisinglivestock, it looked to

aquaculture so they wouldn’t be com-peting with customers. Land-basedshrimp farming is the perfect fit.

Robert Gervais is operations mangerof tru Shrimp Systems, the division of

Ralco which is gearing up to growshrimp near Balaton. Tru ShrimpSystems conveys the concept of a gen-uine, clean, pure process for raisingshrimp.

“Our shrimp is a quality grade,” saidGervias. “There is no need to bread it.”

Gervais noted much of the shrimpimported from around the world con-tains chemicals banned in the UnitedStates.Growing shrimp

SHRIMP, from pg. 11father/son Knochenmus team trav-eled to Texas A & M University tolearn how to raise shrimp in an aqua-culture setting. Addison Lawrence,now retired, had been the lead scien-tist in the university’s MaricultureLab for Shrimp Research.

In December that year, Ralcoreceived the exclusive license in theUnited States for raising shrimp withthe “tidal basin” system devised byLawrence.

Many of the new industry’s termsare consumer friendly and oceanbased. For example, the tank design iscalled the tidal basin and the farm isreferred to as a harbor.

Before shrimp farming begins,research must be completed on threelevels. First, animal health and waterquality must be monitored. The nextstep is the feed laboratory. Some ofthe feed is purchased commercially,

but tru Shrimp Systems wants todevelop the best food for shrimp.

The final step is researching the bestconditions in which to raise theshrimp. When the baby shrimp arrivefrom a supplier in Texas or Florida asPL 12 (post-larvae 12 days old), theyare placed in a shrimp nursery wherethey mature in about four months.

After the research lab in Balatonestablishes results of a study, samplesare sent to another lab for verification.

For someone who prefers shrimpbreaded and deep fried, seeing a lively,jumping shrimp on a counter is memo-rable. Shrimp are, by nature, white.But the lab shrimp have a blue tinge— a result of their chameleon nature.In their ocean habitat they blend inwith the dark bottom of the sea.

Tru Shrimp Systems is on target tobuild its first farm in the Balaton areain 2017. The company’s goal is to haveshrimp from conception to consumption.

Shrimp are small creatures whichdon’t need much space, right? Wrong!Twenty acres of land will be needed foran environmentally-friendly opera-tion. The 390,000 square-foot buildingwill cover 6 acres. Production requiresabout 14 million gallons of water, sotreatment plants are necessary toclean up the water before it can bereused.

There will be a central processingfacility nearby.

“We will have our own frozen brandof shrimp,” said Gervais. “Tru ShrimpSystems is the engine to get us there.”

Shrimp grown under a controlledsetting is consumer-friendly because of

traceability. Consumers will be able totrack from which harbor, which tidalbasin, or which reef the Minnesotashrimp originated. It brings a wholenew meaning to “locally grown.”

Now back to the community of Bala-ton and the economic impact of thenew farm product. In addition to the15 Ralco tru Shrimp Systems employ-ees who work in the former school, ashrimp harbor will employ about 50workers, while the central processingplant could employ 100 more. Con-struction workers will be needed to getthe buildings up and running.

Local farmers may be affected by aripple effect because one-third of ashrimp’s feed is soybean meal. ❖

Shrimp farm, plant could employ 150 people next year

LAMBERTON, Minn. — Wrapping up its 50thyear, the Beef Royale attracts cattle producers fromMinnesota, Iowa and South Dakota, and the public.This popular live show for market beef animalsoffers educational events, judging, youth and adultdivisions. The Cottonwood Cattle Producers hostedthe show at the Lamberton Stockyards on June 14.

The event began with a morning weigh-in of com-petition animals, followed by judging team practicein the afternoon and a spectator contest at 5 p.m.The show wrapped up with viewing of cattle, awardsand a ribeye steak supper. Prize money is awardedfor the top three animals in steer and heifer divi-sions; pen-of-three; carcass.

Payouts in the steer and heifer divisions are $250for first place, $150 for second and $75 for third inboth categories. In the pen-of-three competition(steers and heifers combined) prize money is $500,$250 and $100 for first, second, and third. The car-cass competition has payouts of $500, $250, and$100 (steers and heifers combined).

Dave Hansen is Lamberton Stockyard field repre-sentative and hands-on coordinator of the show. Agreat staff at the stockyard and dependable volun-teers help sort the cattle and get the job done eachyear. This is the third year at Lamberton Stockyards.

“We’re a non-profit event so we have a $35 entryfee for an individual animal; $100 for pen-of-three,”said Hansen. “Thanks to some great sponsors, wecan offer some good payouts to winning individualsand pens. Besides pride in winning, good prizemoney makes this an attractive show to cattlemen.”Cattleman

At 61, Glen Graff, long-time Sanborn-area cattlefeeder, is a yearly participant in the show and formerpresident of the Minnesota Cattle Producers. He

said that education is a primary purpose of the show.“We’ll have Minnesota cattle feeders plus a few

Iowa and South Dakota feeders bringing animals forthis show. There isn’t another beef show like theRoyale, so we’re proud of what we have,” said Graff.“We get a goodly number of young folks, both 4-Hand FFA, that get involved. And surprisingly, thatspectator contest attracts both farm and non-farmpeople.”

“We want everyone to better understand the Min-nesota beef industry,” said Graff. “Our Royale is oneway to do just that. And when you combine it withcarcass competition, then you definitely are doingsome teaching to everyone.”

Graff Feedlots runs two separate feedlots. Thehome farm (a century farm) is permitted for 1,500animal units. The feedlot where his daughter Hilaryand husband Troy Paplow live has a county permitfor 850 cattle.

Graff is a long-time feeder of Western cattle buthe will source a few Kentucky and West Virginiafeeders during the summer because Western cattlearen’t available at that time. Black Angus predomi-nates in Graff feedlots simply because, “the Blackshave more market options.”

For this year’s Beef Royale, he trucked in nine ani-mals for both pen-of-three competitions plus indi-viduals in the steer and heifer on foot divisionwhich he hoped might qualify for individual carcasscompetition.Lamberton Stockyards

Darvin Voge, with brother Arlon Voge, is theowner of Lamberton Stockyards, which handlesabout 50,000 head of feeder cattle each season.

“We get feeder cattle from Minnesota and somecattle shipped in nationwide. But Western cattle,the Dakotas, Montana, and Wyoming are the pri-mary sources,” said Voge. “We’ll deal with any breed,

ROYALE, from pg. 13but the majority these daysare Black Angus. They’veimproved their genetics sothey have a bigger frame andthat lets a feeder grow thembigger.”

At the end of the day, con-sumers have the biggest say,said Voge.

“They like lean beef but withenough marbling to give lots of flavorand tenderness. More consistent car-cass quality is the image of the BlackAngus and that is why they domi-nate,” said Voge.

Voge joined his brother in 1980 who

owned the Stockyards for fiveyears previously. His brothermoved West to buy more cattle.

“That was some 40 years agoand it’s still a good business,despite the volatility in mar-kets,” said Voge.

The biggest change he’s wit-nessed in 40 years is online

buying and selling of cattle. “We’ve gota network of buyers, so the large per-centage of our cattle is first viewed byour buyers,” said Voge. “We keep lots ofrecords so we do lots of sourcing fromthe same producers year after year.”

He also noted feeder cattle are biggerthan they used to be when they comein off the range.

“Now our fall calves are weighing600 to 700 pounds,” Voge said. “Yearsback they were 450 to 500 pounds.Yearling these days are in the 800 to1,000 pound category. ”

The number of cattle feeders keepsdeclining; but not the number of cattle.

“We’re seeing more on slats; but themonoslope barns have really changedthe feeding in our area, southwestMinnesota and northwest Iowa,” Vogesaid. “Anymore you can’t get a permitto feed cattle unless you have a coverover your feedlot. But the advent of themono barns also became a way for theyounger guys to get into cattle feeding.They couldn’t afford to buy farmland;but getting into the cattle businesswith a monoslope barn was working.Most of these barns are second-genera-tion cattlemen.”

Lamberton Stockyards features 15pens with a handling capacity of 800 to1,000 head. But most cattle sourced bythe stockyards go direct to the farmerfeeder. Some farmers want to see thefeeders at the stockyards which thendoes the vaccinations and any otherprep work as a customer convenience.Lamberton Stockyards will also truckthe cattle direct to the farmer’s yard.

Good service generates loyalty.“It’s sort of humbling to see cattle

feeders who have never bought a hoofanyplace else but right here,” saidVoge.

Voge sees the cattle industry movingout of the Southwest into the upperMidwest where feed supplies aredependable and so are cattle feeders.

“The advent of the ethanol industrywas a big boost for cattle feeders inthis area because of all the new feedstocks,” he said. “The DDGs (dried dis-tillers grains) cut feeding costs signifi-cantly.”

Live show winners at the 2016 Royalewere: Steers — Jackson Kids (Carlie,Cole and Jake Jackson), Sanborn (firstplace); second place, Minnesota SupremeFeeders, Lamberton; and third, GraffFeedlots, Sanborn; Heifers — Matt andLarry Evans, Russell (first place); sec-ond, David Englin, Comfrey; and third,Matt and Larry Evans, Russell.

After the show, the cattle were takendirectly to Tyson Foods, Dakota City,Neb., for harvesting and collecting car-cass data. Carcass winners will beannounced at the Beef Royale banqueton Nov. 12. ❖

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

LAMBERTON, Minn. — Farm-ers with non-genetically modifiedorganism corn must be on the look-out for pests.

Bruce Potter is University of Min-nesota integrated pest managementspecialist at Southwest Researchand Outreach Center in Lamberton.

“I don’t yet know if we have more issues with non-GMO corn, but it’s more critical to pay attention tothings like corn borer,” said Potter.

On June 14, Potter reported that these pesky mothswere flying. At that time, farmers should have beenscouting their conventional corn. He advised checkingthe whorl of the tallest non-BT-corn for little shotholes, a sign of a corn borer.

“Right now,” Potter said, “when moths are still in thewhorl, rain showers significantly disrupt theiragenda. The moths like warm, humid weather to fly.We’ve had some good nights for moth activity. But asof June 14, we’ve trapped very few in the light traphere at Lamberton and that’s a good sign the popula-tion hasn’t built up yet.”

And what if corn borer activity ramps up?“There’s still some time for that second in-star lar-

vae to get into the stalk, so insecticide treatments canstill control the borer,” Potter stated. “As long as theselarvae are still feeding in the whorl, insecticides cando the job. But timing is critical.”

Potter pointed to a more crucial issue with cropsacross much of southwest Minnesota where wet soilshave tremendously slowed root development of corn.

“With corn, it’s important to get that root systembefore tassel time,” Potter explained. “If it stays wetthat long and then dries off, the corn crop is in trouble.There just won’t be enough root structure to both pro-duce a yield and support the corn plants very well.”

Potter also noted root rot symptoms in soybeans anda bit in corn too.

“Those wet feet we’ve had for a few weeks haven’tbeen good for corn especially,” he said. “Just a coupleweeks of dry weather and warmer temps will pull usout of this condition.”

An issue with soybean aphids is still too early to callin this June visit with Potter. But he chuckled,

“Since I’ve got a brain as small as an aphid I can

sort of think like them. We set up an experiment tosimulate volunteer soybeans. The aphids are doingreal well in those volunteer beans. But in the bulkfields that were planted later, we’ve got very little col-onization at this point,” he said. “But as these wingedaphids move out of these founding colonies, they don’tlike real wet conditions. They have to process moresap. Plus, they don’t like hot, dry weather either. Wejust simply have to wait and see. They didn’t goextinct.”

Potter also shared his view on seed treatments forthe 2016 growing season.

“We’re getting various reports this spring where wehave seedling disease,” he said, “with and withoutseed treatment. So they aren’t effective on every fun-gus out there. The other issue is that these treatmentsdon’t last season-long. So as the beans get older andwe still have wet conditions, you can still have diseaseattack.

“Saturated soils after planting are prone to dampingoff by fungi like Pythium. Some fields have a historyof seedling disease,” he said. Those are the best fields

on which to use fungicide seed treatment expendi-tures.”

There are a number of new seed-applied fungicidesthat target sudden death syndrome and other spe-cific pathogens. In the future, growers may havemore options to manage problem fields.

“On the insecticide treatments, they’re really notmuch benefit for soybean aphids,” said Potter. “Thereare some other insects like bean leaf beetle wherewe’ve got some efficacy, also seed corn maggot, thripsand those sorts of pests encountered less frequentlyat economic levels.”

Can a tillage system minimize disease and pestissues in the soil profile?

“Relating to pathogens, it helps in two ways,” Pottersaid. “It will help dry that soil out in the spring, andit will bury some of that crop residue so the inoculumisn’t right there at the surface. You can manage acrop with reduced tillage; but you’re going to have topay closer attention when selecting genetics andscouting and you still may have some issues.” ❖

Weather is key driver in crop pests, problems

SPENCER, Iowa — The second-annual FarmGadget Show is now accepting entries, The show isheld at the 2016 Clay County Fair which takes placeSept 10-18 in Spencer, Iowa. During the nine days ofthe Fair, these unique gadgets can be found in andaround the Innovation Pavilion in the southwest cor-ner of the fairgrounds.

“All entries should be something that can be usedon the farm," said Karen Schwaller, superintendentof the Farm Gadget department. “Farmers are someof the most creative people I know.”

Often farmers are unable to buy or find the “righttool for the job,” leading them to make a new andimproved gadget to get the job done. Any of theseunique innovations can be entered as an exhibit.

Schwaller also said that anything a person wants tofinish up in time for the show can be shown at thefair.

Along with the gadget, all entries need to have aplastic-protected description, its intended use, andsafety qualities. Entries will be judged on work-manship, design, usefulness, appearance, safetyand creative use of resources.

Preregistration is required for this departmentand must be postmarked on or before August 15.Entry forms and more information are availableonline at www.claycountyfair.com or at the ClayCounty Fair administration building.

The following marketing analysis is forthe week ending June 24.

History was made this week and theramifications are unknown. The UnitedKingdom voted to leave the EuropeanUnion by a margin of 51.9 to 48.1 per-cent. The “Brexit” vote prompted PrimeMinister David Cameron to resign hisoffice.

HighGround Dairy reported, “Theunexpected result has caused a kneejerkreaction in financial and commoditymarkets across the globe. In particu-lar, market participants have flockedto the U.S. dollar, Japanese Yen andprecious metals, causing a sharpdecline in global equity markets, foreign currenciesand in kind, commodities priced in U.S. dollars.”

Dairy futures were down June 24, the Euro Cur-rency was down 2.5 percent, the British pound off7.5 percent, and “important to U.S. nonfat dry milksellers, the Mexican peso was down 4 percent — allwith enhanced volatility and unprecedented tradingranges.” HighGround Dairy warned, “A strongerU.S. dollar makes commodities priced in its denomi-nation more expensive to importing countries.”

■

U.S. May milk production in the top 23producing states hit 17.5 billion pounds,which is up 1.2 percent from May 2015,according to U.S. Department of Agricul-ture’s preliminary data. The 50-statetotal, at 18.6 billion pounds, was also up1.2 percent. Revisions reduced the Aprilestimate by 13 million pounds, now put at16.8 billion, up 1.1 percent from a yearago. Most analysts view the report as“neutral.”

Cow numbers in the 23 states totaled8.64 million head, unchanged fromApril, but 11,000 more than a yearago. Output per cow averaged 2,019

pounds, which is up 21 pounds from ayear ago and the highest for May since the seriesbegan in 2003.

HighGround Dairy points out that “USDA revisedthe April milking herd down by 4,000 head. Whichmeans there has been zero growth in the overallherd since March.”

California was down 2.8 percent from 2015, due to6,000 fewer cows and 50 pounds less per cow. This isthe 18th consecutive month output in the nation’sbiggest milk producer was below a year ago. Wiscon-sin made up the shortfall, up 4.2 percent, despite aloss of 1,000 cows. But output per cow was up 85pounds.

Minnesota was up 2.2 percent on a 40-pound gainper cow.

■

U.S. dairy farmers culled fewer cows in May thanApril, but more than a year ago, according to USDA’slatest Livestock Slaughter report. An estimated214,000 head were slaughtered under federal inspec-tion in the month. This is down 12,400 head fromApril, but 600 head or 0.3 percent more than April2015. Culling in the first five months of 2016 totaled1,225,700 head, which is down 9,500 from 2015.

More cows mean more milk, according to the latestLivestock, Dairy, and Poultry Outlook. The reportstates, “Recent data suggest a larger supply of milkcows for 2016 than forecast last month. Accordingly,the milk cow forecast has been increased to 9.325million head, which is 5,000 more than forecast lastmonth. The milk per cow forecast was unchanged.With milk cow numbers higher than expected, theforecast for milk production for the year has beenincreased from 212.4 to 212.6 billion pounds.”

Looking to 2017, the Outlook states, “With a moregradual decline in cow numbers expected for 2017,the milk production forecast for 2017 is increasedfrom 215.2 billion pounds to 215.3 billion pounds.However, the impact of higher expected feed priceson producer margins during 2016 is expected to tem-per the increase in milk production.”

Cash butter and cheese prices weakened some thefourth week of June Dairy Month as tradersabsorbed the May Milk Production report, antici-pated the June 24 May Cold Storage data, and con-templated fallout from the Brexit vote.

Block cheddar closed June 24 at $1.5125 perpound, down a quarter-cent on the week and 12.75cents below a year ago. Barrel cheddar finished at$1.5350, which is down a penny on the week and 9cents below a year ago. Only two cars of blockexchanged hands on the week at the Chicago Mer-cantile Exchange and none of barrel.

Cheese production in the Midwest has not waveredwith the rising temperatures seen across the centralregion, according to Dairy Market News. Spot loadsof milk are reportedly harder to come by, but milkintakes remain high. Some manufacturers are choos-ing to slow production in an effort to manage inven-tory. Stocks in the central region remain long, accord-ing to Dairy Market News, but strong sales haveaided efforts to relieve inventory pressures.

Midwest cheese sales were reportedly increasingthis week. Specific varieties, including mozzarellaand provolone, are moving well into both food serviceand retail outlets.

Some participants feel buyers are building stocksas they anticipate prices to continue to climb on theCME. There is light international interest in U.S.cheese, Dairy Market News warns, and “the marketundertone is mixed.”

With milk generally readily available, Dairy Mar-ket News says many western cheese makers reportactive cheese production. There are however, someareas in the West which are beginning to see a slightdownturn in output as milk intakes slow seasonally.

MIELKE, from pg. 16Dairy promotions have helped main-tain strong domestic retail demand forcheese. International markets for U.S.cheese are still a little weak but“export assistance has helped at leastmaintain a foothold in export markets.”

However, “Even with assistance andpromotions, industry contacts say thereis a lot of cheese available in storage.Enough so, some end users are sur-prised prices in various marketexchanges have strengthened over thelast few weeks. A few cheese buyers saythey are willing to buy cheese, but onlywhen they can find a deal. They wouldrather work through existing invento-ries. There are also a few contacts thatare speculating there is an inventorysqueeze in play, with fresh blocks andbarrels a little tight, and stocks ofcheese with some age being long.”

Cash butter closed June 24 at

$2.3450 per pound,down 2.25 cents on theweek but 43 cents abovea year ago, with 13 cars finding newhomes on the week.

“Stable prices have contributed togrowing year-over-year commercial dis-appearance of butter,” according to theDaily Dairy Report’s MaryLedman. Writing in the June 17 MilkProducers Council newsletter, Ledmansays, “In 2014, domestic butter demandincreased 1.2 percent to 1.734 billionpounds, followed by a 3 percent gain in2015. Through April 2016, domesticbutter demand is up 7.8 percent, or 41million pounds.”

“Fortunately,” says Ledman, “Butterproduction and stocks are also higher.Through April 2016, U.S. butter pro-duction of 703 million pounds was 6percent, or 40 million pounds, abovelast year’s level. Month-ending Aprilbutter stocks of 298 million poundswere up nearly 66 million pounds from

last year and the secondhighest April butter

stock level posted duringthe past decade.”

Interestingly, Bloomberg Newsreported this week that it took McDon-alds six months to switch from mar-garine to butter in its Egg McMuffins.

Dairy Market News reports that Cen-tral butter manufacturers vary in pro-duction schedules, cream is tightening,and spot loads are harder to come by.Producers unwilling to pay premiumsfor cream are cutting back production.Demand for bulk butter is high, butcontacts report obstacles trying to findfresh bulk butter on the spot market.Sales of print butter into retail andfood service outlets are steady; thoughinternational interest is light.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk hit90.25 cents per pound June 22, thehighest price since October 2015. Buton June 24, the price closed at 90cents per pound, which is up 5.75cents on the week and 5.75 centsabove a year ago. On the week, 25 carswere sold at the CME, 14 on June 24alone.

Dairy margins improved signifi-cantly since the end of May in nearbyperiods. A strong rally in milk morethan offset the impact of higher feedcosts, while deferred periods in 2017held steady over the first half of June.That’s according to the latest MarginWatch from Chicago-based Commodityand Ingredient Hedging.

Grain AnglesDecision

time There are many decisions grain producers make on

a regular basis. Many are typical day-to-day deci-sions which are made automatically without giving itmuch thought. Those decisions come very easy to theproducer who has been working in the business for anumber of years. Other decisions may not come aseasily and take more thought andenergy. How a producerapproaches decision-makingcould impact the business and/orfamily for years to come.

It has been my experience thatwhen people have more challeng-ing or thought-provoking deci-sions to make, their thinkingoften becomes circular in nature.Taking a linear approach usuallyproduces faster results with moreconfidence.

Grain OutlookMarkets eye

weather The following marketing analysis is for the week

ending June 24.CORN — Last week, December corn hovered

around the $4.40 area looking at hot and dry fore-casts. This week, we saw a sharp reversal on achanging pattern in theweather. The forecasts not onlytook out the heat but ushered ina wide area of below-normaltemperatures. Across much ofthe corn belt, there areincreased precipitation chancesand the driest areas in south-west Iowa and northern Mis-souri are scheduled to pick upsome rain in the short-rangeforecasts. The corn market wasdown every single day this weekand ended up losing 53.25 centsin the July contract.

Corn inspections were very good again this week,posting the fourth-highest level of the marketingyear at 1.2 million tons. Twelve of the past 13 weekshave seen inspections top 1 million tons. Old cropexport sales are starting to transition to new crop aswe have 10 weeks left in the marketing year. Exportsales continue to be very strong with the June 23combined number totaling 1.42 million tons. Weeklyethanol data was a very bearish input for the cornmarket this week.

After touching an all-time record high productionlevel last week at 1.013 million barrels per day, pro-duction had the second-largest week decline ever(51,000 barrels). This pattern is exactly what wesaw in November 2015 when we touched the then-record high production at 1.008 million barrels and

Livestock AnglesBeef prices

go downVolatility and the livestock markets seem to go

hand in hand these days and the outlook remainspretty much the same. This volatility remains astruggle between supply and demand which is likelyto continue for the near term. This could continue tobring big swings from week to week in livestockprices.

The cattle market closed theweek ending June 24 at the low-est level in many months. Thefutures lead option is at the low-est level since September 2011and cash prices are lowest levelsince December 2015. The majorfactor affecting these lower pricesappears to be a weakeningdemand for beef which has deteri-orated over the past few years.The competition for meat proteinhas been about value which hasfavored the poultry and pork sec-tor of the market because of price per pound.

On June 24, the U.S. Department of Agriculturereleased the Monthly Cattle on Feed Report whichindicated that the number of cattle on feed was stillexpanding. The USDA also released the MonthlyCold Storage Report which showed a decrease in theamount of beef in storage from the previous month.

Historically, this report shows the lowest amount ofbeef in storage during the summer months and thenbegins to expand again in to the fall. Therefore, oneconclusion would be with increasing supplies andweak demand, the overall direction in prices for thelong term would be lower. This does not preclude thefact that prices may not rise due to changes fromtime to time in either short-term supplies or short-

LARDY, from pg. 18followed it up with the biggest pro-duction drop ever (52,000 barrels).

OUTLOOK: The Brexit vote, where the UK isleaving the EU, put widespread pressure across allcommodity markets on June 24. Since this is anunprecedented event, it is hard to know how long ofan effect it will have on world markets. I think thegrain markets will adjust quickly and turn its atten-tion to the upcoming planting report on June 30.Corn acreage has a range from 92 million to 94.005million. I believe that the number is on the low endof that range as many producers made a switch tosoybeans. The price direction looks to be heavilyinfluenced by the U.S. Department of Agriculturenumbers as the weather appears to be moderating atouch.

SOYBEANS — The soybean market was on a slowgrind lower this week, closing down four out of thefive days. The July contract lost 56.5 cents to settleat $11.03. The Brexit vote results really pushed allcommodities lower on June 24 and it’s hard to tellhow long the hangover will last. The changingweather forecasts are bringing some pretty good

growing conditions to the Midwest.The crop condition scores for soybeansare record high. The good/excellent

rating this week was at 73 percent which is 7.5 per-cent better than the five-year average. Conditionsare expected to hold steady again next week.

Export inspections continue to be very low. Thisshouldn’t be a big surprise as it is the gut slot ofshipments for South America. Our inspectionsshould pick up again in September. Export saleshave picked up a little bit. Concerns over productionlevels in South America have benefitted U.S. busi-ness. Total commitments are way above the USDA’scurrent export figure. Total commitments are at1.834 billion bushels and the USDA has exports at1.76 billion. So I think there will be a big revision toexports in the July World Agriculture Supply andDemand Estimates report. The Commitment ofTraders report showed that speculators finallystarted to do some selling as they approached a near-record spec long position. This week specs sold21,000 contracts and the net long position nowstands at 194,000 contracts.

OUTLOOK: Uncertainty from the Brexit vote

looks to keep a bearish tone on the markets. Nextweek we will see the June plantings report and thatwill be a key driver for prices for the next month.The range of estimates for soybean acreage rangesbetween 82.1 and 85.7 million. The average is 83.8which is still 1.6 million acres more than theUSDA’s current figure of 82.2 million. With a muchless threatening weather outlook, the bulls willneed to find something in the USDA to rally prices.The 10 and 20-day moving averages had been pro-viding good support levels. But since they have bothbeen pierced, the next key resistance level couldcome at the 50-day average at $10.60 in the Novem-ber beans.

Additional comments: Contract changes for weekending June 24: December wheat lost 28.25 cents onthe week. Crude oil was down only 92 cents for theweek, but early gains were erased with the Brexitresult dropping crude 5 percent on June 24. The dol-lar index was up massively on June 24 as it startedthe day at 93.5 and closed at 95.527.

Editor’s Note: Joe Lardy, CHS Hedging marketanalyst, is sitting in this week for Phyllis Nystrom,the regular “Grain Outlook” columnist. ❖

Markets grind lower; Brexit lends bearish tone

OLSON, from pg. 183. Collaboratively share information4. Gather ideas 5. Create a model and try it6. Respond and redesignHere’s one linear approach to making decisions.Define the decision criteria (goal): Whether it

is marketing decisions, strategic decisions, or long-range planning decisions, producers should begin byidentifying their decision criteria. In other words,determine what factors need to go into the decisions.The criteria help keep the decision makers focusedon what they are trying to accomplish through thisdecision. For example, marketing decision criteriamay be cash flow driven to provide funds at criticalpoints of time.

Cascading decisions: There are times when aprimary decision will have multiple cascading orperipheral decisions. The cascading decisions maycause an individual to feel overwhelmed and simplyavoid making decisions. Long-range planning deci-sions such as a business transition is an example of adecision which has cascading decisions. There will bedecisions around economics, tax impacts, legal docu-mentation, governance, and timeframe for example,that will be made while considering the primarydecision to begin business transition.

Determining what is needed in order to makethe decision: Making the day-to-day decisionscomes naturally because producers typically havethe information they need to make that decision. Forexample, deciding which field to plant in the springis determined by soil, weather and other conditionsfamiliar to the producer. The decisions which takemore energy, often have unknowns which cause

apprehension and may result in the individual put-ting off the decision.

In the example of making a marketing decision,the individual may have identified goals such as tim-ing based upon cash flow needs. However, theunknowns related to marketing are complex and theapprehension may cause the individual to becomestuck and avoid making any decision. Determinewhat information is needed in order to make thedecision. Grain producers will need to know theircost of production. They need to understand theirdebt structure in order to manage cash flow. Theyneed to know funds needed for personal living andfactor that into the overall cash flow.

When making long-range planning decisions suchas business transition, there is a laundry list ofinformation needed in order to move forward. Infor-mation will come from multiple resources includingprofessional advisors for financial, tax, legal, andinsurance considerations. Include the lender andothers to gather information needed for the cascad-ing decisions that surround the primary decision tobegin a business transition plan.

Identify who needs to be informed orincluded in the decision process: The decisionsthat impact others takes time and energy. The com-munication takes extra efforts and for those who arereluctant communicators, the apprehension mayprevent them from taking action. Begin the deci-sion-making process by identifying who is impactedby the decision. Ascertain the level of communicationwhich is needed with each of the individualsimpacted. Determine if they will be informed of thedecision or if they need to be a part of the decision-making process. For those who will need to beinformed of the decision, outline when and how theyget their information. For those who need to be

included in the decision, get them involved early-onso all who are involved can get aligned on the goalsand objectives.

Avoid second-guessing your decisions: Thedecision maker will often reflect on whether theyare making the right decision. At the onset, whenthe decision criteria are being considered and iden-tified, be sure to address the “what if ’s” of the deci-sion. Consider the question, “what is the worst thatcan happen?” as a part of the decision-makingprocess. In some situations, a flexible plan can helpwith the second-guessing aspect of the decision-making process. Building flexibility into a decisionallows plans to be adjusted periodically if needed.

However, not all decisions can be flexible. In thosesituations, if the decision maker believes the deci-sion did not produce the results they wanted, viewit as a good learning opportunity. Ask questions,such as: what could be done differently next time; orwhat additional information would have been bene-ficial? Compare the results to the decision criteria.Being OK with your decision and not second-guess-ing is an important factor in preparing to tackle thenext challenging decision.

Get started: If you are contemplating a decision,take the steps necessary to generate optimalresults. Identify the goals you are trying to accom-plish, involve and inform the appropriate people,consider the “what if” scenarios, and take action.

TEALE, from pg. 18term increases in demand. Producersshould consider the market conse-quences if this scenario plays out andprotect inventories as needed.

From a historical standpoint, thistime of year seasonally finds a top inthe hog market. It would appear thisonce again might be a case that a top inprices is not too far off. Despite the pastseveral months that has seen a verynice rally in prices due to very gooddemand for pork, the hog market isapproaching price levels of past resist-ance.

One factor which might greatly influ-ence the market was the release of theUSDA Quarterly Hogs and Pigs reporton June 24. The report estimates over-

all hog numbers have increased morethan the trade had anticipated. This,coupled with the USDA Cold Storagereport, (which indicated a slight reduc-tion in pork supplies from previousreports) would still indicate the sup-plies are more than adequate to meetthe current demand for pork. Becausethe U.S. dollar has recently made arebound in value against most othercurrencies, the export market of porkmay suffer some from this advance.

Producers should take a cautiousapproach toward the hog market atthis time as the futures market hasquickly moved from a premium to adiscount to the current hog index. Thiscould be a signal the hog market pricesare getting tired and ready for a set-back from current levels. ❖

Hog market signaling peak

MIELKE, from pg. 17the fact that evenrecent strength in milkprices leaves them below breakeven.”

“Milk prices have moved sharplyhigher following a jump in both spotcheddar and butter prices at the CMEas demand is strong for dairy prod-ucts,” the Margin Watch states. “Recenthot weather across the U.S. Midwestand Northeast is also impacting cowcomfort and seasonally reducing milkproduction which likewise is offeringsupport to the market.”

University of Wisconsin’s MarkStephenson and Bob Cropp believe thatmilk prices have hit the bottom and areon the way back up. But they warn,“there are inventories to work downthat may make the recovery slowerthan the futures markets are currentlythinking.”

■

The USDA announced the July Fed-eral order Class I base milk price at$13.70 per hundredweight. This is up56 cents from June, but $2.83 belowJuly 2015 and the lowest July Class Isince 2009. It equates to about $1.18per gallon, which is up from $1.13 lastmonth. The seven month Class I aver-age stands at $13.96, which is downfrom $16.34 at this time a year ago and$23.02 in 2014.

In politics, the Chairman of the Sen-ate Agriculture Committee Pat Roberts

(R-Kan.) and its Rank-ing Member Debbie

Stabenow (D-Mich.)reached agreement this week on GMOlegislation to deal with geneticallymodified ingredients in food. Thiscomes after months of negotiations bythe two senators.

The Senate is expected to take up thebill the week of June 27. It will take 60votes to bring it to the Senate floor,according to Bob Gray, editor of theNortheast Dairy Farmers Cooperative’snewsletter. Gray adds that the House isout of session and will not be back untilJuly 5. Until the federal legislation ispassed, Vermont's state labeling lawwill be the “de facto national standard.”

The bill pre-empts all state GMOlabeling laws at the time of enactment.Consumers can determine if a foodproduct contains genetically engi-neered ingredients by accessing anelectronic code on the food package orby following the instructions on a sym-bol contained on a food package. Meatproducts produced from bio tech feedare not subject to public disclosure,says Gray.

National Milk praised the bill as“sound and workable” in a June 23press release.

Celebrating our country’s independence on theFourth of July is nothing new in Minnesota. Butthe folks in North Morristown have been doing it

longer than anyone else. This year, the small band of vol-unteers will host the 124th annual July Fourth Celebra-tion.

Tucked away in the rolling pastures and fields of RiceCounty, North Morristown is a church, a school and a cou-ple of houses. The church and school have quite a historyof their own.

Trinity Lutheran Church began conducting services ina log structure in the 1860s. A wood-frame church wasbuilt at the current site in 1888 and the school waserected 10 years later. Lightning struck the churchsteeple in March of 1938 and the structure burned to theground. While the new (and current) church was beingbuilt, services took place in the school.

“There was a lot of discussion about building the newchurch,” said Carl Krueger whose farm place is next doorto the church. “Some wanted the new church to be justlike the old one. But it was decided the new church wouldbe a no-steeple church so it wouldn’t get struck again.”

Trinity School is still operating today with 11 kinder-garten through eighth-grade students. A library was builtin 1974, connecting the church and the school.

Across the road from Trinity is the grounds for theFourth of July celebration. A handful of buildings and asmall stage are surrounded by mature shade trees andlush grass. On July 4 this pastoral setting will be filledwith literally thousands of revelers.

Many of the 160 Trinity parishioners join together inproducing the celebration along with neigh-bors, friends and folks who just want tohelp.

The day kicks off with a Firecracker 5krun/walk and the parade gets underway at10 a.m. Following the parade is a patrioticprogram. This year’s program salutes theKorean War veterans.

Throughout the day there is music, food,volleyball and horseshoe tourna-ments, bingo and children’s rides.There will be a silent auction andbuttons for sale. All the moneyraised during the day is used tohelp fund the Trinity school. Fire-works conclude the celebration at10 p.m.
