American humorist Will Rogers once notedthat he “wasn’t a member of any organizedpolitical party” because “I am a Democrat.”The crack is dead-on funny because it’sbulls-eye true. Just ask any Democrat.

Ag Republicans on Capitol Hill, however,are working feverishly to take the titlefrom Rogers’ Dems. Earlier this month,festering differences between the party’sright wing and never wrong (just ask ’em)wing over ag policy broke into the open.The heated fight featured mud, tea andinvective but no resolution.

The fight has been a long time coming.Tough-minded GOP tea party members tied up the2012 farm bill until it became the 2014 farm bill. TheHeritage Foundation, the influential conservativethink-tank that aided the tea partiers, however,refused to surrender.

On May 5, Heritage issued a 10-point broadside itdescribed as “alternatives … beyond the status quoof central planning and subsidies” for U.S. ag policy.

See links to documents at http://farmandfoodfile.com/in-the-news.

The report’s points hit most farmer andrancher hot buttons — free trade, propertyrights, over-regulation — and all of the teaparty’s really hot buttons: free trade, prop-erty rights and over-regulation.

Heritage’s hotter buttons, however, glowwhite by what it sees as the hypocrisy at thecenter of almost every federal farm policy.

For example, while most farmers andranchers believe they operate in a “freemarket,” Heritage explains, government

“loans, price and revenue guarantees … import bar-riers, payments to idle land, marketing orders andsubsidized crop insurance” have nothing to do withfree markets and everything to do with “Depression-era relics ground in central planning philosophies.”

Worse, it says, free markets have nothing in com-mon with things named “the sugar program and the

Little do you realize that in just a fewyears it will be your decisions shaping thedestiny of your communities, your state,even your nation. We’re presenting youwith an incredible challenge and a “bank-ruptcy legacy” that will continue to hauntindefinitely.

We continue to accept a growing entitle-ment society that only feeds upon itself.Yet in another 30 years this world willhave ballooned from 7 1/2 billion per-sons to 9 billion.

The biggest growth will be among theunder-privileged of China, India, Africa, even Brazil,that rapidly are moving into better incomes, betterdiets, a desire for a better education for their kids, anda free market economy for their farmers. What then?

Graduates of 2014, it will be your ballgame. Takecharge. You can’t mess up any more than we have.

Memorial Day weekend signals the start of sum-mer vacation time. More importantly it is our specialprivilege to honor America’s veterans. We still haveseveral thousand young men and women stationedin various countries around the world doing theirduty of protecting other people.

Sometimes it seems our government oversteps

those boundaries. But soldiers continuetheir duty because when they strap onthat uniform they carry on regardless thecalling.

Ponder for a moment these words by A.Lawrence Vaincourt: “Should you findyourself in danger, with your enemiesat your hand, would you really want a

politician with his ever-shifting stand? Or would youprefer a soldier, who has sworn to defend his home,his kin and country and would fight until the end?

“He was just a common soldier, and his ranks aregrowing thin, but his presence should remind us wemay need his like again. For when countries are inconflict, then we find the soldier’s part is to clean upall the troubles that the politicians start.

“If we cannot do him honor while he’s here to hearthe praise, then at least let’s give him homage at theending of his days. Perhaps just a simple headline ina paper that would say: ‘Our country is in mourning,a soldier died today’.”

GUEBERT, from pg. 2Renewable Fuels Standard.” Ouch.

While Heritage and ranchers andfarmers can agree on broad topics likethe loss of free markets and the rise ofgovernment red tape, the niceties endwhen specifics — say, crop insurancesubsidies and ethanol mandates —are mentioned.

And all talking will stop when talkturns to the idea that “governmentshould not intervene … to ensure thatfarmers are profitable, as through the‘shallow loss’ program’ that protectsfarmers from even minor losses.”

The very idea that the heavilyRepublican, deeply conservative Her-itage Foundation would attack federal

farm programs devised,endorsed and used by themostly Republican, largelyconservative farm and ranch folk isunheard of.

And it didn’t go unanswered.On May 16, an ag lobby named Farm

Policy Facts fired back. The Heritagereport, it noted on its website, “departsfrom the respected analysis Heritagewas once known for in favor of whatappears to be the talking point ofdonors.”

It’s part of a clear pattern Heritagenow practices, asserted the group thatincludes the American Sugar Alliance,National Crop Insurance Services,National Association of Wheat Grow-

ers, National CottonCouncil and the USA RiceFederation among others.

“Heritage increasingly starts withthe answer to any policy question theywant and then cherry pick (sic) infor-mation in order to arrive at theirdesired conclusion.” Most of those con-clusions, it offered, are “unworthy of athink tank that years ago … was credi-ble.”

Unworthy or not, the central questionHeritage raises isn’t about ethanolmandates or crop insurance subsidies.

Instead it’s about the future of themodern welfare state, the dominantfeature of today’s government, and howspecial interests — from banks to mili-

tary contractors to academia and toeven, yes, farmers and ranchers — per-sonally benefit from “public” policy asmuch as the public. That’s a fightworth having and one we will havesooner or later.

But don’t expect it soon because asWill Rogers also noted, “There arethree kinds of men: the ones that learnby reading, the few who learn by obser-vation and the rest who have to touchan electric fence.”

Declining bee populations are agrowing concern everywhere.

Why? Because honey bees are theunpaid transporters of pollen, thatmiraculous stuff that generates newgrowth of innumerable plant species.

Honey on your morning toast would-n’t be a reality with-out the tenaciousbuzzing of literallymillions of honey beesacross our prairielandscape — espe-cially if the right mix-ture of clovers andflowering gardens arepart of that land-scape.

But what if there simply aren’tenough of these food sources?

Improving the habitat for pollinatorbees starts right outside your frontporch. “When you plant flowers eachspring, plant flowers that the bees willlike,” suggested Carmelita Nelson,Minnesota Department of NaturalResources Prairie Grassland coordina-tor.

She said that native bees are espe-cially attracted to native flowers. Yourlocal greenhouse, even your favoritehardware store, can be a good source ofboth seeds and suggestions.

A good source for bee-attractive flow-ers is the University of Minnesota’sBee Lab — online atwww.beelab.umn.edu — or the Min-nesota DNR, at www.mndnr.gov.

As you might expect honey produc-tion varies from hive to hive and from

year to year. Bee keepers talk in termsof 75 to 100 pounds of honey per hive,which takes a hive of 50,000 to 65,000bees during peak summer. One queenbee is the boss and runs the show.

Perhaps surprising is the fact thatMinnesota is the home to more than300 species of bees. “Right now bumblebees are a big concern,” Nelson said,

indicating severalspecies of bumblebees are now in that“endangered species”category.

Bumble bees areexcellent pollinators— “the vibration oftheir wings helpsthem pollinate toma-toes and other veg-etables even better

than honey bees,” Nelson said.Pollinators — wild insects and

domesticated honey bees — help 70percent of the world’s wild and culti-vated flowering plants to reproduce.Every third bite of our food is a result,directory or indirectly, of an insecttransporting pollen. Pollinators havebeen called a “keystone group thatother organisms rely on.”

That keystone group is on thedecline.

Aerial spraying of Minnesota crops isone of the likely culprits, Nelson said,but with honey bees a multitude ofthings are happening. Road ditch mow-ing of wild flowers and parasitic mites,for example, are becoming an issue.

Time will tell if 2013-14’s harsh win-ter was detrimental to the bee popu-

Help pollinators byplanting native flowers

When you plantflowers each spring,plant flowers thatthe bees will like.

POLLINATORS, from pg. 5lace. Nelson said bees can keep warmenough with their vibration, but someadditional supplemental feeding wasa good idea this winter.

She also said that organic farming isa great enhancementto the Minnesota beepopulation. “Organicfarming not onlybenefits bees butalso birds and otherwildlife. I’ve talkedto many organicfarmers who tell meabout all the birdssinging in theiryards.”

Other suggestionsfor rebuilding beepopulations: Townswith unusedpark/recreation space can plant nativeprairie, with an emphasis on wildflowers in that space. Volunteer gar-deners and Master Gardeners canwork up soil in certain park/recre-ation areas and maintain butterfly,hummingbird and bee gardens.

Nesting habitat can be improved forall species of bees. Even a small plant-

ing of native prairie is a start. Somebees like to burrow into the ground fortheir nesting sites.

“If we leave a few areas bare andopen, these bees might burrow downinto the soil there,” said Jon Wogen, anOlivia, Minn.-area wildlife-outdoor

writer. “Old stumpsand brush and woodpiles are good nestingplaces, as native beesmay use cracks orworm holes in thewood for nesting bur-rows.”

Wogen said artifi-cial nesting stationscan be built for sev-eral species, espe-cially orchard bees,which sometimes arecalled mason bees or

leaf-cutting bees. Many of the nativespecies of bees are friendly and non-aggressive; they won’t bother peopleunless they are grabbed or squeezed.

Education and research may be thekey to keeping pollinators in good num-bers so they can do their job and pro-vide us with fruit and vegetable cropsthat feed and nourish us, Wogen said. ❖

Old stumps andbrush and woodpiles are good nest-ing places, as nativebees may use cracksor worm holes in thewood for nestingburrows.

— Jon Wogen

Wildlife-outdoorwriter Jon Wogen offerstips on how to build a“bee box.”

Most native bees likea six-inch deep holedrilled into a log orfour-by-six post. Onecan screw two-by-fourstogether. The holesshould go all the waythrough as it will bemounted on a two-by-four post so it will close the back ends of the holes.

This facilitates cleanout, which should occur every two years after thespring bees have hatched out. The box can be removed from the two-by-four back, and the holes can be cleaned out.

In case you don’t want to miss any bees coming to lay eggs in the brooderhouse, you should have another house on hand to replace the one you are

cleaning. A brushor drill can cleanout the house.This preventsdisease of theyoung bees grow-ing in the house.

It is best to usepine or fir, andnot treated wood.

An examplehouse made oftwo-by-fours can

be a foot tall and have about 24 holes drilled. Each hole is five-sixteenths-inch in diameter. A roof can be put on the house to provide shade and toprevent rain from coming into the holes. The bees like the nest box to facethe morning sun.

A yearly survey of bee-keepers, released May 15,shows fewer colony lossesoccurred in the UnitedStates over the winter of2013-14 than in recentyears, but beekeeperssay losses remainhigher than the level thatthey consider to be sustain-able.

According to survey results,total losses of managed honey beecolonies from all causes were 23.2percent nationwide. That number isabove the 18.9 percent level of lossthat beekeepers say is acceptable fortheir economic sustainability, but is amarked improvement over the 30.5percent loss reported for the winter of2012-13, and over the eight-year aver-age loss of 29.6 percent.

More than three-fourths of theworld’s flowering plants rely on polli-nators, such as bees, to reproduce,meaning pollinators help produce oneout of every three bites of food Ameri-cans eat.

“Pollinators, such as bees, birds andother insects are essential partnersfor farmers and ranchers and helpproduce much of our food supply.

Healthy pollinator populations arecritical to the continued economic well-being of agricultural producers,” saidU.S. Department of Agriculture Secre-tary Tom Vilsack. “While we’re glad tosee improvement this year, losses arestill too high and there is still muchmore work to be done to stabilize beepopulations.”

There is no way to tell why the beesdid better this year, according to bothJeff Pettis and Dennis vanEngelsdorp.

Pettis is a research leader of theAgricultural Research Service BeeResearch Laboratory in Beltsville, Md.ARS is the USDA’s chief intramuralscientific research agency. VanEngels-dorp is a University of Maryland assis-

tant professor who is the leader of thesurvey and director of the BeeInformed Partnership.

Although the survey, conducted bythe USDA and the University of Mary-land Bee Informed Partnership showsimprovement, losses remain above thelevel that beekeepers consider to beeconomically sustainable. This year,almost two-thirds of the beekeepersresponding reported losses greaterthan the 18.9 percent threshold.

“Yearly fluctuations in the rate oflosses like these only demonstrate howcomplicated the whole issue of honey beeheath has become, with factors such asviruses and other pathogens, parasiteslike varroa mites, problems of nutrition

from lack of diversity in pollen sources,and even sub-lethal effects of pesticidescombining to weaken and kill beecolonies,” Pettis said.

The winter losses survey covers theperiod from October 2013 throughApril. About 7,200 beekeepersresponded to the voluntary survey.

A complete analysis of the bee surveydata will be published later this year.The summary of the analysis is athttp://goo.gl/Ywzx4s.

The USDA also announced that itwill hold a summit this fall aimed ataddressing the nutrition and forageneeds of pollinators. The summit willtake place in Washington, D.C., Oct.20-21 and will be attended by a consor-tium of public, private and non-govern-mental organizations. Attendees willdiscuss the most recent researchrelated to pollinator loss and work toidentify solutions.

Additionally, the USDA launched thePeople’s Garden Apiary bee cam at theUSDA headquarters in Washington,D.C., as an additional effort to increasepublic awareness about the reductionof bee populations and to inform Amer-icans about actions they can take to

It’s been nearly 21 yearsand I can still picture thewater fountain where shewent missing.

It was our family’s firstouting since Melanie wasborn. She was a coupleweeks old; her sisters Eliza-beth and Stephanie were 6and 4, respectively.

The girls were giddy. Whatchild isn’t over a county fair?Carnival rides, cotton candy,animals and more. Thing is,we didn’t see any of those things thistrip. We spent more time in the fairparking lot unbuckling children, re-buckling sandals, setting up thestroller and arranging the diaper bagthan we had time within the gates andour first pit stop.

Stephanie needed a drink. Not sureif she was actually parched or if it sim-ply looked liked a cool fountain, butshe wanted a drink. While she sippedwe scanned the grounds to determinewhere we should go first. One secondshe was there, the next one she wasmissing.

It is a parent’s nightmare. Mikeraced to the fair headquarters to haveit announced via the loud speaker thatthere was a missing child. I made cir-cles around the water fountain withthe stroller gripped in one hand andElizabeth’s small palm in the other.And we prayed.

After alerting the fair personnel,Mike sprinted to the entrance gate. Atthe time there were stories of acreeper in a van who trailed children.

When the first vehicle hesaw at the gate was a van,there was no polite proto-col. He whipped open its

side door like a federal agent andcame face to face with the family hehad just terrorized. With a quick,“Sorry!” he slammed the door shut andran to the next gate. And we prayed.

Within a timespan that was shorterthan it seemed, Stephanie was trans-ported to the fair headquarters on theshoulders of a gentle grandpa. Heheard the announcement and from thelooks of the scared little girl withinarm’s reach, he figured she had to bethe one. He hoisted her high so we’dsee her sooner rather than later, andthe reunion was sweet.

I don’t know his name, but I’m for-ever grateful. Together again, Mikeasked, “Do you want to stay?”

“I want to go home,” I said. The girlsdid, too. We were never so happy totuck them safely in bed, as we werethat night.

Not all missing children’s reportsend happily ever after. Not all missingchildren have someone who caresenough to hoist them to his shouldersand do whatever it takes to bring

them safely home.As I write there are 276 missing

girls who were kidnapped from aboarding school in Nigeria. The kid-nappers plans are to sell these deargirls for about $12 each to potential“husbands.”

Praise God, governments and peoplearound the world have taken noticethis time. #Bringbackourgirls is therally cry. And as some nations joinours in the search, we pray.

But what about all the children —especially the girls — who go missingwithout anyone’s notice? What aboutthe ones in other parts of Africa, Asia,South and Central America, and evenon the soil we call home? There aremore in need. So many more!

In their book “Half the Sky: Turning

Oppression into Opportu-nity for Women World-wide,” Nicholas D. Kristofand Sheryl WuDunn write,“more girls were killed inthe last 50 years — pre-cisely because they weregirls — than men killed inall the wars in the 20thcentury.”

Ann Voskamp writes, “Does anyonesee the girls, care about the girls, dowhatever it takes to bring the girlsback to hope?”

There are some. But more areneeded. So many more!

But what do we do? There is noquick-fix to this worldwide epidemicof injustice.

What I know is what we experi-enced firsthand. When you reallyvalue and care for the one who is lost,you’ll do whatever it takes for as longit takes to bring her home. And wepray.

Created in 2010, the People’sGarden Apiary is home to two bee hives. The bees areItalian queens, the most common bee stock and thesame used in many honey bee colonies throughoutthe United States.

In March, Vilsack created a Pollinator WorkingGroup, under the leadership of Deputy SecretaryKrysta Harden, to better coordinate efforts, leverageresources and increase focus on pollinator issuesacross USDA agencies.

USDA personnel from 10 department agencies(Agricultural Research Service, National Institute ofFood and Agriculture, Farm Services Agency, NaturalResources Conservation Service, Animal and PlantHealth Inspection Service, Economic Research Ser-vice, Forest Service, Agricultural Marketing Service,Risk Management Agency and Rural Development)meet regularly to coordinate and evaluate efforts asthe USDA strives toward improving pollinator healthand ensuring our pollinators continuing contribu-tions to our nation’s environment and food security.

Earlier this year, the USDA made $3 million avail-able to help agriculture producers in five states(North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsinand Michigan) provide floral forage habitats to bene-fit pollinating species on working lands. The HoneyBee Pollinator Effort is intended to encourage farm-ers and ranchers to grow alfalfa, clover and otherflowering habitat for bees and other pollinators.

The president’s fiscal year 2015 budget proposalprovides $71 million for pollinator health activitiesthrough multiple USDA agencies. This includes anincrease of $40 million in combined mandatory anddiscretionary funds to advance efforts, in consultationwith the Environmental Protection Agency and otherfederal partners, to respond to the decline in honeybee health and ensure their recovery.

This coordinated effort is focused on targetedresearch that addresses multifactorial stressors, theirinteraction, and identification and implementation ofmeasures to improve and increase habitat availableto pollinators on federal and private lands.

In addition, this initiative will help prevent intro-ductions of invasive bees, bee diseases and parasites;document the status of honey bee health factors asso-ciated with bee losses and honey bee production; andwork with stakeholders on best management prac-tices.

A coordinated communication strategy, includingoutreach and education, will engage the public to helpsolve this important challenge. ❖

Clematis are often called thequeen of all vines.

That description suits thismember of the Ranunculaceabotanical family. I would loveto have more of the severalhundred varieties availablebut some restraint must beshown in this hobby of garden-ing. Larry and I grow eight cul-tivars of clematis and two areheirloom varieties that rankhigh on our list of favorites.

Henryi is one of the finest pure whites with blooms 6to 8 inches across and coffee colored anthers. Its heavi-est flush of flowering is early in the season with smallerdisplays of bloom throughout the summer. If you havean all white garden or want a plant for evening interest,Henryi is unequaled. The pure white flowers sparkleand glow at dusk and in moon light.

Nelly Moser is a trusted heirloom variety that displayspink petals set off by darker bars.The blooms are hugeand the flowers prolific.The seed pods are exotic lookingwhorls, and provide added interest after the plant hasfinished blooming. Nelly Moser and other pastel coloredvarieties keep their color best when planted where theyget some afternoon shade.

Plant these vines in early spring. Soak the rootballs for 20 minutes. Dig a hole at least 18 inchesdeep and 18 inches wide and work some compost intoit. Set the plant so at least two leaf nodes are below

the soil level and water well.

All clematis like their heads in the sun and theirfeet in the shade. A good 3-inch layer of mulch or aground cover will keep their feet shaded. It will takeabout two years for the plants to become establishedand produce large flower displays.

Pruning clematis sounds complicated; however,there are only three bloom times that affect pruning.

• Early flowering varieties don’t need any pruningexcept removal of dead material.

• Mid-summer bloomers can be pruned to a desiredshape when dormant.

• Late-flowering species can be pruned to 4 to 6 inchesfrom the ground in early spring. A garden diary indicat-ing when the plant was purchased and its care workswell to keep pruning information available from year to

year. In our climate Mother Nature some-times does all the pruning for us and weonly need to remove the dead areas ofplant material.

Some say Klem-uh-tiss and some sayClem-at-tis. Klem-uh-tiss is consideredthe correct pronunciation. I think it isnever wise or necessary to correct anyonewhen talking about names of plants —we gardeners all know what plants weare describing and sometimes the namesare not pronounced like they wouldsound phonetically.

If you are not sure of the pronunciation,say your version with conviction.All but the most seriousminded plant people will likely think you are saying thename correctly.

Our gardening season is off to a late start thisspring and once again there are too many tasks toaccomplish in too short of a time. I did manage tocheck and trim all the clematis vines.

Nothing pleases the eye as much as one of these beauti-ful climbers in full bloom, reaching 10 feet or more on atrellis, meandering over a fence or climbing an old stump.

“Most memories are made whenpeople are gathered together enjoyinggreat food.”

It’s a simple sentence that sums upthe essence of “Serve the Lord WithGladness,” a collection of 600 recipesfrom Holy Cross Lutheran Church ofPrior Lake, Minn., in honor of their 25thanniversary this June. Serving God andserving food just seem to go together,strengthening faith and creating life-long memories at the same time.

By KRISTIN KVENOThe Land CorrespondentThe ThronsonsGary, Minn.

For Jared Thron-son planting isfinally underway.

The number ofacres planted so farmay not be impres-sive but at least it’sa start to getting the crops in theground. The Land spoke with Thron-son May 13 as he was waiting out therain and anxious to get back in thefield. “Only got 35 acres planted,” hesaid. He was happy to report, how-ever, that he had no planter issuesand planting went well.

The forecast was for “sunny andwarmer” temperatures, just what thefields need to be ready. “Hopefully byFriday or Saturday we can do somemore planting,” Thronson said.

The delay in getting corn in theground has made him change to someearly corn varieties. He will be plant-ing mostly 75- to 80-day corn. This isthe first time Thronson has had tochange to earlier varieties due to lateplanting.

“The 25th of May is the crop insur-ance deadline (for corn),” Thronsonsaid. If the corn isn’t in the ground bythen, Thronson will switch to eithersoybeans or wheat. With 280 acres ofcorn to plant, he believes that with“two good days” the corn should all bein. His plan is for this dad, Lloyd, torun the planter during the day andThronson will take the nighttimeshift — keeping the planter going 24hours a day until the crops are all in.

“Hopefully all the crops will beseeded in two weeks,” Thronson said.He believes that “shouldn’t be a prob-lem if we can get going by this week-end.”

Some people have big plans for Fri-day and Saturday nights; Thronson'sbig weekend plans include a planter, afield and, most importantly, no rain.

The WiltsesHerman, Minn.

In the past two weeks “we gotanother two-and-a-half days in thefield,” Dennis Wilts reported to The

Land on May 12.Though the field

conditions were“plenty wet when westarted, we got somecorn and sugar beetsin,” Wilts said. Withalmost three-quar-ters of an inch of rainsince May 7, he has-

n’t been able to get back in the field.The planting conditions so far this

season “haven’t been ideal but still alittle better than we thought it wouldbe,” Wilts said. With more rain and cooltemperatures expected for the nextcouple of days, “it just isn’t going towarm up.” When the weather doesturn around, he estimates that “in 10days we’d have it all done.”

Wilts said that they’ve had enoughmoisture; now they need sunshine andwarm weather.

“In another week if we don’t get thewheat in we’ll have to change toanother crop,” he said. “It’s gettingtime to get something done.” Theweather must not have heard thatspring should be here as Wiltsreported that there was “frost on theroof on Saturday.” This lack of heatisn’t welcome as the ground needs todry out and dry out fast.

Wilts hopes that things turn aroundand the crops will be in, the sun will beshining, and the frost will be a long-forgotten word around his farm.

The HoffmansNew Ulm, Minn.

Rain is back andplanting is on hold.

That about sums upthe planting progressfor Don Hoffman.When The Land spokewith Hoffman on May12, he reported that since May 7 thefarm had received three-and-a-halfinches of rain. With more moisture onthe way — “I think today and tomor-row it’s rain” — planting will have towait.

Hoffman was last in the field on May7 when they planted 50 acres of cornand 30 acres of beans. On that day the“ground conditions were excellent.”With 250 acres of corn left, he hopesthat he needs just “two good days” toget planting done.

Hoffman can’t be picky at this pointin the season and will begin to plantaround wet spots in the fields.

“I would’ve liked to have had all thecorn in,” he said. With the amount ofmoisture that fell, planting delayswere imminent. If Hoffman isn’t ableto get the crop in another week to 10days, “I’d be concerned.”

On the dairy side everything is going“very steady, very stable. The way welike it,” he said. But that doesn’t meanthere isn’t work to be done while wait-ing to plant. Hoffman will be “getting

the haybine out this weekend for thefirst crop of hay.”

He is also working on trimming treesalong the field and getting some repairjobs finished on the farm.

“We need this moisture, the timing isterrible,” he said. Hoffman does pointout that this moisture could becomevaluable to the crop this July andAugust.

The HagensLake Mills, Iowa

“It’s just cold andwet.” Not exactlyperfect planting con-ditions for JimHagen, but he hopesthat’s about tochange.

When The Land spoke with Hagenon May 14 he found the fields to stillbe wet from “another two inches ofrain last weekend.” The corn plantingfinished last week for Hagen. He waspleased that he had “good conditions”for getting the corn in the ground.

While he’s waiting for the fields todry up before starting to plant soy-beans, Hagen has been busy haulingcorn to the ethanol plant. He’s alsoworking on getting the sprayer readyto go as he’ll be putting down pre-emergent herbicide for the soybeans.

Hagen estimates that he just “needsfour good days” to get the beans in theground. He’s not panicking yet aboutnot having the beans in, but if they’renot in by the end of the month it willbe a different story. The ground “justhas to dry up,” he said.

“There’s no drought here,” saidHagen. “The tiles are all running.” Hecredits the drain tiles for the reasonthat he’s done with planting corn andfeels the “tiling is proving its worth.”According to Hagen, only half the cornis planted around the area.

Hagen doesn’t expect to be in thefield for at least two more days. He islooking forward to getting back in theplanter and utilizing his new “rowshut-off system; that means no over-lapping, hopefully,” Hagen said.

No planting overlaps, sunny skiesand warm weather all sound likeingredients for some great soybeanplanting conditions. ❖

Local Corn and Soybean Price Index

Grain AnglesDon’t neglect your

bookkeepingFor some areas of Minnesota and Wisconsin, pro-

ducers are once again finding it challenging to getseed in the ground.

Spring is the favorite time of year for most produc-ers because it starts the cycle of growth and it bringshope of a bountiful crop. Usually,the production side of agricultureis where the producer gets hispleasure, but equally important isthe business side of your farmingoperation, including your finan-cial reporting, bookkeeping,records and all of the other day-to-day tasks involved in runninga business.

Most producers perform recordkeeping for two reasons: to have theproper information to file incometaxes, and to have the records fortheir lender so they can continue toget loans. Those are definitely goodreasons, but I challenge you to utilize those records tomake your business better.

As producers grow their operations, they get big-ger equipment, upgrade facilities and add necessarylabor. As lenders, we see the biggest hurdle for a pro-ducer’s growth is upgrading their record keeping tofit the size of their operation. As the size of yourcredit package grows your lender will require morecomplete and accurate records.

To ensure your records are where they need to be, youcan hire a firm to perform the record keeping duties orinvest in software that allows you to create a robustfinancial reporting system. It’s also important that youuse the accrual method of accounting, which providesan accurate reflection of the current period of incomeand expenses. The accrual method of accounting allowsproducers to understand their business’ level of prof-

Grain OutlookPlanting progress

slows slightlyEditor’s note: Tim Emslie, CHS Hedging market

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

❖

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing May 23.

CORN — Corn prices edgedlower this week, holding rela-tively stable compared to therally in soybeans and the sell-offin wheat. For the week, the Julycontract was down 5.5 cents, andthe December contract was down5.75 cents.

After catching up to the five-year average the previous week,planting progress slowed slightlyto come in 3 points below the five-year average at 73 percent com-plete as of May 18. Northern tierstates such as North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsinand Michigan remain behind their respective five-year averages. The U.S. Department of Agricultureindicated that it does not expect to report conditionsin the coming week, which means the first conditionsreport of the season is likely to be out on June 2.

Weekly export sales increased this week to 508,000metric tons. The ethanol production rate reported ona weekly basis rose 3,000 barrels per day to 925,000.Summertime gasoline demand should easily main-tain enough ethanol demand to keep corn use forethanol on track to meet the USDA projection for themarketing year.

The opposite directions of the corn and soybeanmarkets this week sent the new-crop bean-corn ratiosoaring to new heights. The ratio rallied from 2.54 to2.66 this week, eclipsing the previous high made in

Livestock AnglesCattle, hogs

fickle as of lateIt seems as if the livestock markets are fickle as of

late. Both the cattle and hog cash prices haveslumped recently, while the futures markets of bothhave either remained steady or have slightlyimproved. This indicates a lot of indecision on thefuture price of both cattle and hogs.

The cattle market has seen cashprices drift lower in recent days aspackers seem to be more discretein the accumulation of live inven-tory. The futures market, on theother hand, seems to be driven bythe smaller supply of animals andthe anticipation that prices mustrise because of that situation.

The interesting dilemma is thatdemand has been slowed due tothe higher prices at the retaillevel and in the export market.This has caused the movement ofbeef to slow, which is offsetting the smaller suppliesof cattle. It appears that each time the beef cutoutreaches $235 per hundredweight or greater, demandfor beef contracts — and as the cutout drops, themovement increases, but not to the levels seen a yearago. This appears to be the culprit causing the stand-off in the cattle market which is holding prices in adistinct trading range.

On May 16, the U.S. Department of Agriculture releasedthe Monthly Cattle on Feed report the results are as fol-lows:On-feed,99 percent;placements,95 percent and mar-keted, 98 percent. The report was seen as neutral toslightly friendly since the placement number was less thanexpected. The key will still remain in the demand for beefsince the demand side of the equation is more elastic thanthe supply side.Therefore, producers should stay aware ofcurrent market conditions and protect inventories whenthe opportunity arises.

EMSLIE, from pg. 15December. It’s late in the planting sea-son, but it could make the decision toswitch away from corn in the northerntier states mentioned earlier easier.

OUTLOOK: Markets will hinge oncrop development issues as alwaysthis time of year, but more specificallyin 2014 the two main questions areacreage across the northern tier, andthe initial condition report expectedin early June. In the four northernstates mentioned above, there werenearly 11 million acres unplanted asof May 18. The five-year average forthe initial good/excellent rating is 67percent. Last year, the initial ratingwas 63 percent. On the chart, theDecember contract moved down tosupport at $4.70 this week, with thedownside momentum that followedthe May USDA report still intact.

SOYBEANS — Soybean pricesclimbed to new contract highs in boththe July and November contracts thisweek. For the week, the July contractwas up 50.5 cents, and the Novembercontract was up 41.5 cents. Exportsales reported on Thursday were theimpetus for part of the rally, coming

in at 164,000 metrictons for the currentmarketing year.

That was the largest total since mid-March, and pushed the total commit-ments number to 1.649 billion bushels,now 49 million bushels more than thecurrent USDA estimate of 1.6 billionbushels for the year. That’s not quite asbad as it sounds since the commit-ments total at the end of the market-ing year always includes some out-standing sales that end up being rolledover to the next marketing year. How-ever, the final export total is clearly ona pace to exceed 1.6 billion bushels.

The meal and oil export totals wereimpressive as well at 186,000 metrictons for meal and 41,000 metric tonsfor oil, respectively. There was talk thisweek of planned imports of Argentinemeal being canceled because of poorprotein content. Domestic processorcash markets were firm over the firstpart of the week, but backed off afterthe futures rally.

Some of the additional crush neededwill have to come from imported soy-beans because of the tight balancesheet. The United States imported

23.3 million bushelsthrough March. Official

April data is released inearly June. To achieve the USDA’s pro-jection of 90 million bushels for themarketing year, monthly import totalswill need to average 13.3 millionbushels from April to August. LastJuly, the United States imported about12 million bushels during the month,the most in any one month.

Harvest activity in Argentina isbeing slowed by wet weather. Accord-ing to the Buenos Aires GrainExchange, harvest advanced 3 per-centage points on the week to 70 per-cent complete. Soybeans harvested wetare more likely to move directly intomarketing channels rather than bestored.

OUTLOOK: June 4 is an importantdate for the old-crop soybean balancesheet. That’s the date the officialimports for April are reported. Thenew highs registered this week indi-cate the market is still looking to seehow the tight stocks situation will beresolved. On the chart, the next objec-tive for the November contract is theJune 2013 high of $13.

Tim’s tidbits: Russia and Chinasigned a 30-year natural gas supplyagreement this week that was manyyears in the works. The recent tensionbetween Russian and Europe probablygave the Russians just enough addi-tional incentive to find an alternativecustomer to conclude the deal. The dealprovides the capital needed to developgas fields in eastern Siberia, alongwith the pipeline needed to carry thegas to China.

The amount of gas provided each daybeginning in 2018 is the equivalent of aquarter of Russia’s current exports toEurope. The long-term implications ofthis agreement are likely to be signifi-cant, not only in the current Russia-Ukraine-Europe tensions, but also on

the longer-term geo-political structureof the globe. For example, the Russiansand Chinese intentionally withheldany details of what currency paymentswould be made in, although the totalsize of the deal was broadly reported inU.S. dollar terms. It seems likely thatboth sides would like to move awayfrom the U.S. dollar.

This would be a blow to the U.S. dol-lar’s reserve currency status, a statusthat among other things allows theUnited States to borrow inexpensively.Pricing in Chinese yuan is not feasibletoday, but this is likely a significantstep toward the yuan’s move towardgreater convertibility in world markets.

The flash manufacturing PurchasingManagers’ Index for China reboundedfrom 48.1 in April to 49.7 this month,indicating that the slowdown in Chinais easing. In the United States, newhome sales gave the equity markets alate-week boost at a 433,000 annual-ized rate in April, up from a revised407,000 in March. That provided fur-ther evidence that we’ll see a niceweather-related bounce in Q2 GrossDomestic Product. The S&P was upmore than 1 percent for the week, fin-ishing near the record high.

Wheat prices fell for a second week inall three contracts. The week beganwith winter wheat conditions fallinganother point to 29 percent good-excel-lent, but ended with the nicest rains ofthe season for much of the southernplains. The rain came too late to help inmost of Texas and Oklahoma, but willgive a boost further north. For theweek, Kansas City wheat was down22.75 cents, Minneapolis wheat wasdown 14 cents and Chicago wheat wasdown 21.75 cents.

If your expense statement is doneproperly using the accrual method,your income and expense statementshould match the gain or loss thatwould show on your annual balancesheet. This is what we call reconciling.If you can produce a reconciled profit-and-loss statement to the balancesheet, your lender will feel comfort-able in your ability to understandyour complete financial picture.

This also gives you confidence toknow that your finances are in orderand you can rely on them to makesound decisions for the operation.

If your operation continues to grow,you may be asked for reviewed oraudited financial reports. So, youmight be wondering, what does thatreally mean? Many people think thattheir tax returns are reviewed by theiraccountant and that should be consid-ered reviewed, but that is not the case.

A reviewed financial report is done bya tax firm and is considered independ-

ent. They must understand the entitythey are reviewing, review the account-ing practices you are using to prepareyour financials and they also performanalytics on the operation. If you growto the size where an audit is required,all of the items done while reviewingyour financials is done as well as observ-ing your inventories (check your bins toverify bushels), gaining an understand-ing of your internal controls and anassessment of your fraud risks. An auditgives everyone the confidence in theinformation as it is verified.

So, are your records keeping pacewith your production? If your futureplans include growth and you want tobe prepared so investing in your finan-cial records is important. Make theinvestment now and utilize the infor-mation to make good business deci-sions and allow your lender to haveconfidence in the information pro-vided, so they can grow with you.

TEALE, from pg. 15Hog prices have again slipped during

the past few weeks, reflecting the lack ofdemand for pork at the higher prices.The porcine epidemic diarrhea virus isstill a main factor in the trade’s mindand has dominated the futures marketwhile the cash market is more in tunewith the immediate market conditions.Hog numbers have be more than ade-quate to meet the packers’ kill needsand with weights high the total porkproduction has remained enough to

meet current demand.Considering that the PEDv is still a

major factor and that numbers arelikely smaller because of the death lossdue to the virus, a firming tone to pricesinto the summer months may not be outof the question. The only caveat to thatscenario would be if demand once againdecreases because of higher prices.Because of the large premiums in thefutures market, producers should takeadvantage of the wide basis and protectinventories when necessary. ❖

For the second year in a rowsome farmers in portions ofMinnesota and Iowa are deal-ing with wet field conditionsand delayed crop planting.

Unless conditions improvesoon, some producers couldbe forced to consider notplanting a portion of theircrops in 2014. As weapproach June 1, producersin the affected areas willbe evaluating their cropinsurance options forlate-planting or pre-vented-planting coverage.

The final planting date for corn in thesouthern two-thirds of Minnesota, aswell as in all of Iowa and Wisconsin, isMay 31, in order to receive full cropinsurance coverage for 2014. The late-planting period for corn is June 1-25,with a reduction in the insurance cover-age level of 1 percent for each day thatcorn planting is delayed past May 31.

In northern Minnesota, the final date forcorn planting with full insurance coverageis May 25. For soybeans, the final plantingdate is June 10 in Minnesota and thenorthern two-thirds of Wisconsin, and June15 in Iowa and the southern one-third ofWisconsin, with the final planting date

extending for 25 days untilJuly 5 in Minnesota and north-ern Wisconsin, and until July10 in Iowa and southern Wis-consin.

Once the final plantingdate for corn or soybeanshas been reached for corn orsoybeans, farmers can opt totake the prevented plantinginsurance coverage, if they

have that coverageoption, rather thanplanting the crop.

A large majority of producers in theUpper Midwest carry Revenue Protectioncrop insurance with prevented-plantingcoverage on their corn and soybeans. Ifthey choose the prevented planting cover-age, they will receive 60 percent of theiroriginal crop insurance guarantee for thatcrop on a specific farm unit.

Every farm situation is different when itcomes to making a decision on whether toutilize the prevented planting option, so itis important for producers to make individ-ualized decisions for each farm unit.

Crop producers will have different yieldpotential, crop expenses, land costs, etc., onvarious farm units, as well as differences intheir level of crop insurance coverage and

revenue guarantees on various farms.All ofthese factors become important when eval-uating prevented-planting crop insurancedecisions. It is also important to note thatthe guaranteed payments for preventedplanting with corn and soybeans are con-siderably less in 2014, as compared to2013, due to lower levels of crop insurance

base prices in 2014.The decision that yourneighbor makes regarding preventedplanting may not necessarily be the bestdecision on your farm, depending on thesituation and the factors involved.

Producers should contact their cropinsurance agent for more details on finalplanting dates and prevented plantingoptions with various crop insurance poli-cies, before making a final decision on pre-vented planting.The prevented-plantedacres need to be reported to their cropinsurance agent.The U.S.Department ofAgriculture Risk Management Agency hassome good crop insurance fact sheets avail-able on their website,www.rma.usda.gov/aboutrma/fields/mn_rso.Late, prevented planting crop insurance options

Assuming that producers have an eligi-ble RP or Yield Protection crop insurancepolicy, they would have the followingoptions with regards to delayed or pre-vented planting later than the establishedfinal planting dates (May 31 for corn andJune 10 for soybeans in Minnesota).

A large majority of pro-ducers in the UpperMidwest carry RevenueProtection crop insur-ance with prevented-planting coverage ontheir corn and soy-beans. If they choosethe prevented plantingcoverage, they willreceive 60 percent oftheir original cropinsurance guarantee forthat crop on a specificfarm unit.

PROGRAMS, from pg. 17late-planting period, which is typi-cally 25 days following the estab-lished final planting date for a given crop.

(Example:A final planting date of May 31 for cornwould result in a late-planting period from June 1-25.)

The crop insurance coverage is reduced by 1 percent foreach day after the final planting date for the next 25days. For crops planted after the final dates for the lateplanting period (June 25 for corn), crop insurance cover-age is set at a maximum of 60 percent of the originalinsurance guarantee, which is the same as the prevented-planting insurance coverage.

• Plant another crop (second crop) after the final plant-ing date. For example, soybeans could be planted onintended corn acres after May 31. In that case, therewould be no prevented-planting coverage for the cornacres, and the soybeans would be treated as insurable

soybean acres. If the soybeans are plantedafter the final planting date (June 10),they would be considered “Late Planted,”

with a 1 percent per day reduction in the revenue guaran-tee for 25 days.

• File a prevented-planting crop insurance claim on thequalifying original unplanted acres, after May 31 for cornand June 10 for soybeans.

The producer will receive a prevented-planting paymentper eligible acre equal to the original revenue guaranteetimes 60 percent.The original revenue guarantee was theAPH yield times the crop insurance base price ($4.62/bu. forcorn and $11.36/bu. for soybeans) times the level of RP cov-erage level.

(Corn example: 190 bushels per acre x $4.62/bu. x 0.80= $702.24 x 0.60 = $421.34 prevent-plant amount)

(Soybean example: 52 bu./acre x $11.36/bu. x 0.80= $472.58 x 0.60 = $283.55 prevent-plant amount)

There is no HarvestPrice option with pre-vented planting insur-ance coverage, so even ifthe harvest price ishigher than the cropbase price, the amountof the prevented-plant-ing payment will not beincreased. Prevented-planting payments aremade on the base price.

A producer who files aprevented-plantinginsurance claim afterthe final planting datecannot plant anothercrop on those acres dur-ing the 25-day late-planting period, or they will lose theirprevented-planting insurance payment.After the late-planting period (June 25 for corn and July 5 or 10 for soy-beans), a producer has the following options on thoseacres.• Leave the unplanted acres idle and control theweeds.• Plant an approved cover crop on the pre-vented-planted acres, with no reduction in the pre-vented-planting insurance payment. The cover cropcannot be harvested in 2014. Haying and grazing ofthose acres is permitted after Nov. 1.• Plant another crop (second crop) after the lateplanting period (June 25 for corn) has ended, withthe intent of harvesting that crop. In this case theprevented-planting payment is reduced to 35 percentof the original prevented planted payment.

(Example: $702.24/acre original guarantee x 0.60 =$421.34/acre x 0.35 = $147.47/acre adjusted pre-vent-plant payment) This may be an option for dairyand beef producers who are short of feed and haysupplies.Minimum acreage for prevented planting

To qualify for prevented-planting insurance cover-age and payments, affected areas must be the lowerof 20 acres or 20 percent of the total eligible insuredacreage in a farm unit. Small areas of land do notqualify for prevented-planting coverage, which couldbe a factor on some smaller land tracts with optionalunit insurance coverage.

Meeting the 20-percent threshold will likely be eas-ier with enterprise units than with optional units.However, there is lot of variation from farm-to-farm,so producers need to check with their crop insuranceagent.

(Example: 500 acres of corn; 400 acres planted withfull crop insurance coverage; 100 acres (20 percent) pre-vented-planting paid at 60 percent of the original insur-ance guarantee per acre.)Economics of the prevented-planting decision

Every producer and every farm unit has a differentsituation as it relates to the economics of the prevented-planting crop insurance decision. Refer to the tables onPage 19 showing a comparison of normal corn and soy-bean production and returns, a late-planting scenario

PROGRAMS, from pg. 18with reduced yields and cropinsurance coverage, and a sce-nario using prevented-plantingcoverage.

Again, the situation for pro-ducers on individual farmunits may be different thanthis example.Additional preventedplanting crop insuranceconsiderations

• Prevented-planting notifi-cation. Crop insurance policyholders are required to notifytheir insurance agent within72 hours after the final plant-ing date, if they plan to file aprevented-planting insuranceclaim. The same 72-hourdeadline is in place duringthe 25-day late-plantingperiod, if a producerdecides to discontinueplanting, and proceed witha prevented-planting claim.

• Minimum planting with enterprise units. A pro-ducer filing a prevented-planting claim, who originallysigned up with enterprise units, must have planted thelower of 20 acres or 20 percent of the insured crop acresin at least two sections to be eligible for the lowerinsurance premiums with enterprise units.

Otherwise, the farmunit will still receivethe appropriate pre-vented-planting pay-ment on that farmunit, but will becharged the insur-ance premiums forthe higher of basic oroptional units. Thiswould be the situa-tion if no acres wereplanted.

• Impact of pre-vented-planting onfuture APH yields. Gen-erally, prevented-planted acres will notimpact the future APHyields, unless a secondcrop is planted, as only the planted acres are used todetermine the crop year yield on a farm unit. If a secondcrop is planted, the prevented-planted acres will beassigned a yield equal to 60 percent times the APH on

the farm unit. If no insured crop acres are planted ona farm unit, that crop year will not be considered in the

future APH calculation, unless a second crop wasplanted.Bottom line

Every producer’s situation is different when it comes tolate- and prevented-planting situations; as a result, thebest option will vary considerably from farm to farm. Inaddition to differences in production practices and yieldpotential, there are differences in level of insurance cover-age, optional or enterprise units, and other crop insur-ance provisions.The choice that a producer makes couldresult in a difference of thousands of dollars in the poten-tial insurance coverage that is available.That is why it is

extremely critical for producers to consult with theircrop insurance agent before finalizing late- and pre-vented-planting crop decisions.

This column was written for the market-ing week ending May 23.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’spreliminary data issued Monday in itslatest Milk Production report, shows Apriloutput in the top 23 dairy producingstates at 16.3 billion pounds, up 1.2 per-cent from April 2013. The 50-state total,at 17.43 billion pounds, was up 1.0 per-cent. Revisions added 6 million pounds tothe original March 23-state estimate, nowreported at 16.7 billion pounds, up 1.1percent from a year ago.

April cow numbers in the 23 dairystates, at 8.53 million head, were up10,000 from March. Year-ago data wasnot available due to the sequester. April output percow in the 23 dairy states averaged 1,911 pounds,down from 1,958 pounds in March, but the highestproduction per cow for April since the 23-state seriesbegan in 2003. Again, year-ago data was not avail-able due to the sequester.

California was up 1.5 percent from a year ago, Wis-consin was down 0.3 percent. New York was up 0.3percent; Idaho, up 1.1 percent; Pennsylvania, up 0.1percent; and Minnesota was down 2.7 percent.

Other key players included Michigan, up 2.6 per-cent; New Mexico, down 1.4 percent; Texas, up 8.7percent; and Washington, up 3.4 percent. Output percow and cow number data is not available, due to thesequester.

The USDA’s latest Livestock Slaughter reportshows an estimated 229,800 dairy cows took earlyretirement from the dairy business in April, down16,000 head from March and 38,000 head belowApril 2013. The report said 982,000 culled dairy cat-tle were slaughtered under federal inspection in theJanuary-to-April period, down 117,000 head from thesame period a year ago.

■

HighGround Dairy’s Eric Meyer said there aresome encouraging signs in April’s Milk Productionreport that strong on-farm margins are promotingherd expansion. After making revisions to lastmonth’s data, the USDA is estimating U.S. milk cowshave grown by 29,000 head since the start of theyear. But when looking at overall milk productiongrowth, the upward trajectory has been muted withjust 1 percent year-over-year growth in 2014, cer-tainly not the kind of increase expected with recordhigh prices.

While nearby milk and dairy commodity pricesmay still endure short-term weakness, Meyer viewedMonday’s report as slightly bullish versus expecta-tions and may provide underlying support once theNorthern Hemisphere’s seasonal peak has passed.

The dairy industry’s challenges continue regardingfalling fluid milk consumption. March packaged fluidmilk sales totaled 4.30 billion pounds, down 2 percentfrom March 2013, according to the USDA’s latestdata. March sales of conventional products, at 4.09billion pounds, were down 2.7 percent from a yearago; organic products, at 212 million pounds, were up14.3 percent. Organic represented about 5.2 percent

of total sales for the month.First quarter, January to March, total

packaged fluid milk sales, at 12.89 billionpounds, were down 1.5 percent from thesame period a year earlier. Year-to-datesales of conventional products, at 12.27billion, were down 2.2 percent; organicproducts, at 623 million pounds, were up15.6 percent. Organic represented about5.1 percent of total sales.

Speaking of fluid milk, the USDAannounced the June federal order Class I

base milk price at $22.86 per hundred-weight, down $1.61 from the record highMay price, but still $3.93 above June

2013, and the highest June Class I pricesince June 2011. It equates to about $1.97 per gallon.That puts the six-month Class I average at $23.02, upfrom $18.22 at this time a year ago, $16.48 in 2012, and$18.14 in 2011.

The two-week, National Dairy Products SalesReport-surveyed butter price used in calculatingtoday’s price was $2.0176 per pound, up 4.7 centsfrom May. Nonfat dry milk averaged $1.8768, down12.7 cents. Cheese averaged $2.2029, down 16.7cents, and dry whey averaged 67.24 cents, down frac-tionally from May.

Preliminary data in the USDA’s Cold Storagereport issued Thursday shows April butter stocks at174.15 million pounds, down 5.9 million pounds or 3percent from March but a whopping 135.6 millionpounds or 44 percent below April 2013.

American-type cheese, at 648.1 million pounds, wasup 9 million pounds or 1 percent from March but50.6 million or 7 percent below a year ago. The totalcheese inventory stood at 1.037 billion pounds, up18.3 million pounds or 2 percent from March but84.7 million or 8 percent below a year ago.

The USDA’s latest Crop Progress report issuedTuesday afternoon showed 73 percent of thenation’s corn has been planted, up from 59 percentthe previous week, up from 65 percent on this weeka year ago, but 3 percent behind of the five-yearaverage. Seventeen states show corn emerged, or 34percent, up from 18 percent the previous week, upfrom 17 percent a year ago, but lags the five-yearaverage by 8 percent.

The blocks closed Friday at $2.02/lb., up2.25 cents on the week and 26.75 cents above a yearago. Barrel closed at $2.02 as well, up 6 cents on theweek and 29.75 cents above a year ago. Ten cars ofblock and two of barrel traded hands on the week.The lagging NDPSR-surveyed U.S. average blockprice dropped 5.2 cents, to $2.1602. The barrels aver-aged $2.1651, down 6.5 cents.

Cheese production across the United States ismixed, according to the USDA’s Dairy Market News.Some of the southern regions are past peak milk pro-duction. Milk availability is varied sometimes withinregions. The northern edge of the central region isslow to show a spring flush this year, while much ofthe Midwest is experiencing increasing volumes. Thisis allowing plants that want to increase production,the ability to find additional milk at increasinglyfavorable prices on the spot market. The lower priceshave some buyers looking to increase orders andbuild their own stocks. Export demand has slowed as

international prices are more compet-itive to our market.

Cash butter saw a small rally Tues-day, slipped a half-cent Wednesday, then inched upthree-quarters Thursday, and gained a penny Fridayto close at $2.18/lb., up 2 cents on the week, 63 centsabove a year ago, and the highest spot butter pricesince May 26, 2011. Thirty-eight carloads tradedhands on the week. NDPSR butter averaged $2.0544,up 6.5 cents.

U.S. butter prices have surpassed most interna-tional markets, slowing export demand. The DMNreports the market tone is mixed. Domestic printbuyers are purchasing in a “hand-to-mouth” fashionwhile bulk purchasers are actively seeking supplieswith rebuilding stocks in mind. Production rates aremixed with variances in milk supplies and creamavailability. Inventories are tight.

Cash nonfat dry milk saw some strength this week,closing Friday at $1.7925, up three-quarter cents onthe week. One car was sold. NDPSR powder aver-aged $1.8556, down 4.3 cents, and dry whey aver-aged 67.27 cents, up 0.1 cent.

The tone of dry dairy products varies by commodityin the market, the DMN said. Prices in the nonfatdry milk market are trending lower throughout theregions. Most spot market buyers are still hesitant todevelop transactions beyond immediate needs,although interests are improving.

Milk production is active in the East, Central andWest regions with higher milk intakes for most dryingoperations. Farm-level production volumes are seeingdifferent developments across the country, accordingto the DMN. Eastern milk production has leveled insome areas of the region while seeing declines in oth-ers; however, manufacturing supplies remain heavy.Output rates in the Midwest are steady to slightlyhigher, but lower than expected. As a result, some

cheese makers are looking for extraloads to meet current orders andrebuild inventories. Milk volumes are

decreasing in California and New Mexico. Some loadsin New Mexico required clearing to distant processorsdue post-peak maintenance projects.

Utah, Idaho and the Pacific Northwest milk produc-tion continues to increase, as favorable temperaturesprevail. Expectations are that the approaching alfalfaharvest will extend production. Bottling demandthroughout the country is steady to lower as semes-ters end at most educational institutions. Creammarkets are mixed. Some churning operations havechosen to scale back on butter production, as manu-facturers shift cream supplies to other dairy classes.

This week’s Global Dairy Trade auction saw theweighted average for all products drop 1.8 percent,following the 1.1-percent drop in the May 6 eventand a 2.6-percent decline in the April 15 event. Theprice index has seen seven consecutive declines sincereaching its recent high Feb. 4.

The downfall Tuesday was led by a 3.8-percent dropin butter (down 1.5 percent in the last event), a 3.5-percent decline in skim milk powder (down 2.3 per-cent in the last event), a 2.1-percent drop in Cheddarcheese (down 1.8 percent last time), and a 1.9-percentdrop in buttermilk powder (down 1.2 percent in thelast auction). Whole milk powder was down 1.1 per-cent, (down 1.7 percent in the May 6 event).

Increases were seen in rennet casein, up 4.6 per-cent (up 6.8 percent in the last event), and a 1.9-per-cent increase in anhydrous milkfat (up 2.4 percent inthe last event).

FC Stone reports the average butter price equated toabout $1.6631/lb. U.S., down from $1.7652 in the May 6event ($1.6225/lb. on 80-percent butterfat, down from$1.7222/lb.). Chicago Mercantile Exchange butter closedFriday at $2.18. The GDT Cheddar cheese average was$1.8635/lb. U.S., down from $1.9029. The U.S. block priceFriday was at $2.02. Skim milk powder, at $1.6933/lb.U.S., is down from $1.7568, and the whole milk powderaverage at $1.7586/lb. U.S., is down from $1.7819 in thelast event. The CME Grade A nonfat dry milk price Fri-day stood at $1.7925/lb.

GRANT, Minn. (AP) — InJerry Linser’s apiary rehabclinic, he holds one of his clientsbetween his fingers.

“I know where you’vebeen,” murmurs Linser to ahoneybee, as he gently liftsit to the bee screen aroundhis face. “You have a honey-tummy full of stuff, I can see it.”

Linser was tending to one ofthe 150,000 residents of his BeeRanch in Grant, checking to see howthey survived the harsh winter. In aneffort to reverse declines in bee popu-lations, Linser is among the hundredsof Minnesotans who have jumped ontothe beekeeping bandwagon.

One sign of the buzz aroundbeekeeping is the success ofthe Stillwater Honey Bee

Club, which has jumpedfrom four members to160 in 14 months.

The University ofMinnesota Extension

Service has seen an increasein beekeeping interest, andBob Sitko, who teaches at

Century College, said his bee-keeping classes are “overflowing.” Theirmission: saving mankind’s best friend inthe insect world.

WHISPERER, from pg. 2315 percent of bee hives in the United Statesdied over the winter. In the past severalyears, the die-off has soared to 40 to 80 per-cent.

Why all the buzz kill?Bee mites, pesticides and lack of food are

three big reasons.The mites, tiny parasites that attack bees,

are widespread. “It’s the wood tick of honey-bees,” Linser told the St. Paul Pioneer Press.(See http://bit.ly/1nH2U8a)

Common pesticides are suspect, includingneonicotinoids. These are among the mostpopular insecticides in the world, spreadwidely on commodity crops and available ingarden centers.

Linser said the neonicotinoids appear inpollen, where bees can pick it up and take itback to their hives.

Bees’ food sources are disappearing. Beesdepend on nectar from flowers, but as sub-urbia sprawls into natural areas, anothersource of pollen vanishes.

A neatly mowed lawn? “That is like theSahara Desert to a honeybee,” Linser said.

The so-called bee-pocalypse is alarmingbecause bees are natural gardeners. As theyfly from flower to flower, they transferpollen — which fertilizes plants and allowsthem to reproduce.

“Without bees, there would be no melons,no berries, no nuts,” said Sitko, one of thefounders of the Stillwater club. Bees areresponsible, he said, for about a third of theworld’s food production.

Bees are so valuable that they havebecome immigrant farm workers. Roughlyhalf of the nation’s domesticated bees areannually trucked into California, wherethey are essential to fertilize the state’salmond crop.

Recently, Linser suited up for his chores, donning awhite bee smock, complete with a built-in zip-up hel-met.

He loaded some green grass into his smoker, whichis like a coffee can with a bellows to fan the flamesinside.

Carrying a bucket of tools, he entered the bee pen,about the size of a double garage. He passed throughthe electric fence, which keeps bears and other crit-ters away.

With the steady monotone buzz of thousands ofbees in his ears, he began to check each of the 19hives. He already had ordered 18,000 replacementbees, about six pounds of insects, to make up for thebees lost over the winter. The box, sent from Califor-nia, included tinier boxes, like thrones, for thequeens.

By each hive, Linser squirted a few puffs of smoketo calm the bees. He noted with satisfaction that oneexperiment had worked — a hive he insulated last

fall survived the winter with few casualties.Speaking from inside the bee helmet, he explained

that he is doing genetic engineering of his own. Hepicks out which bees to breed, looking for bees thatare disease-free, docile, tough enough to survive win-ter and good honey producers.

At one hive, Linser suddenly stood up straight.“Oooh,” he said. He held up an index finger with abee hanging on, stinging him. The finger swelled uplike a bratwurst.

Other people might have reacted by, say, putting ongloves. But not Linser.

His relationship with bees is not just about busi-ness. Even with a swollen finger, he continued topick them up and feel them wiggling — almost affec-tionately. He wanted to encourage them, feed them,comfort them and talk to them.

He tenderly held up a small worker bee. “Why, justlook at you,” he said proudly, “all covered withpollen.” ❖

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

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondents Tim King (story) and Jan King (photo)Umpah & the newsMy father-in-law said that if you don’t

listen to the local radio station youwon’t know when your neighbor’s

barn burns. He also said that his Holsteinswere calmed by old-time music. If you listento KEYL 1400 AM in Long Prairie you willhear local news and old-time music.

“We took the music off the air for a while butwe were swamped with letters asking us toput it back,” said Clif Cline, who has been themorning show host since 1998. “Older peopletell me that they wake up, turn the radio on,and lay in bed and listen to the accordions.”

Cline comes on the air at 5:30 a.m. with aweather report and the umpah of tubas.

“I learned in radio school that you talk tothe microphone like you’re talking to just oneperson,” he said. “You want to give them somenews and put a smile on their face.” From 6to 7, Cline links his show up with KEYL’s sis-ter FM station, KXDL. For an hour he broad-casts the farm news to the community as itstarts another day.

“I love what I do,” this self-proclaimed Mas-ter of the Bad Joke said. “I wouldn’t want todo it otherwise.

The bad jokes really start coming whenAllen Bailey joins Cline at 7:30. Bailey tellsCline that the news wires are carrying a storyabout a KFC restaurant refusing to serve ateenager because he wasn’t 18 years old.

“They said they were afraid he would start afood fight,” Bailey reports in absolute mock awe.

The KFC story turns into a 15-second dis-cussion about the carbon footprint of Amishhorse-drawn buggies on local roads, and thenClif reads the “Be Nice To” List.

The “Be Nice To” List consists of called-inbirthdays and wedding anniversaries. Theidea is that if your name is on it your friendswill remember and call you. It definitely puta smile on my father-in-law’s face.

Next come garage sales, funeral announce-ments, local news and sports, national newsand Open Mike. On Open Mike an elderlycouple can pitch their new health supple-ments or the superintendent of schools canrecap last night’s school board meeting.

This is truly local radio and Cline is proudto be a part of it.

“I want to keep doing this until I’m at least70,” he said. ❖
