Arlington City Council votes 4-1 to
have water tower exterior painted
By Kurt Menk
Editor
The Arlington City Council, during its regular meeting
on Monday night, April 18,
voted 4-1 and approved a motion to approve a contract
with McGuire Iron, Inc.,
Sioux Falls, S.D., to paint the
exterior of the water tower
for $80,750. Included in the
total cost is $10,000 to again
paint the baseball logo on the
water tower.
As part of the motion, the
City of Arlington will seek
donations from civic organizations to help cover the cost
for the painting of the baseball logo.
City Council members
Michelle Battcher, James
Jaszewski, Jim Heiland and
Jennifer Nuesse all voted in
favor of the motion.
City Council member
Galen Wills voted against the
motion. Wills believes the donations from the civic organizations should be guaranteed
before the City Council votes
on the contract.
If the weather cooperates,
the painting will be completed sometime this fall. If the
weather does not cooperate,
the task will be finished in
2017.
Welcome Signs
The City Council also
voted 4-1 and approved a motion to authorize the purchase
of two new Welcome to Arlington signs from Scenic
Signs for a total of $13,890.
The motion included the
partnership of the Arlington
Area Chamber of Commerce
who will pay one half of the
total cost.
Battcher, Jaszewski, Heiland and Nuesse all voted in
favor of the motion.
Wills voted against the motion. He believes the size of
the baseball water tower logo
was too large on the sign
which makes the Arlington
name too small. Wills also
questioned if the baseball
water tower logo had to be
included on the welcome sign
since people could just look
up and see the actual water
tower itself.
SE Site Plan
The City Council unanimously adopted a resolution
to approve a site plan for the
Sibley East Public Schools
Renovation Project at 202
Third Avenue Northwest in
Arlington.
Under a condition of the
resolution, the Sibley East
Public Schools must cover all
costs to relocate any water
and sewer lines located on the
property in conjunction with
the renovation project.
Wendel Architects, on behalf of the Sibley East Public
Schools, submitted plans for
the demolition of a portion of
the existing structures and a
71,387 square foot addition to
the facility.
City staff and consultants
have reviewed the site plan
and forwarded comments and
recommendations to the City
Council.
The Planning and Zoning
Commission, earlier this
month, reviewed the request
and recommended conditional approval of the site plan to
the City Council.
The Arlington City Council
will hold its next regular
meeting at 6:30 p.m. Monday,
May 2.
By Amy Newsom
Correspondent
Preston Euerle, President
and CEO of RA Morton
Construction Managers,
presented the Sibley East
School with the results of
the April 14 bid opening for
the Arlington school site.
During the regular
monthly meeting on Monday night, April 18, Euerle
reported that the “bid coverage was adequate, however the number of bids received was less than anticipated.” Euerle felt that
many contractors did not
bid because they already
had projects lined up and
could not bid on the school
project. $24,579,065 is the
amount of project funds
available. However, with
the bids in, the total project
came in at $24,870,157 or
$291,092 over budget.
School Board members
approved the lowest qualified bids, but decided to
table a majority of the alternate bids to see if Euerle
could do some value engineering on the project to
make the numbers within
budget.
Euerle mentioned that
some of the stonework
could be changed to larger
stones to save on labor
costs. Other materials may
also be changed to save on
costs.
The School Board approved the FACS remodeling and accepted part of the
skylights/borrowed lights
bid, but tabled the other alternates.
The School Board will
look at the numbers again
during a special meeting in
Room 149 at the Arlington
campus at 6:30 p.m. Monday, April 25.
Tuition
Increase
The School Board voted
to increase the tuition for
the PALS and Discovery
programs by $10 per month
and leave the busing costs
at their currents rates.
The 2016-2017 tuition
for the PALS program,
which is the three day per
week program for fouryear-olds, at $80 per month
plus $30 per month for
transportation fees. The
two day per week Discovery program tuition for
three-year-olds was set at
$60 per month with $20 for
transportation.
Amy Sell shared program
costs at neighboring
schools and recommended
increasing the costs $10 to
$15 per month to contend
with those neighboring
schools. Sell pointed out
that tuition prices have not
increased since 2011.
Salary
Increases
The School Board voted
to increase the business
manager ’s annual salary
from $61,565 to $63,412 in
2015-2016 and to $65,314
in 2016-2017.
The School Board also
increased the salary of the
human resource/payroll
clerk three percent from
$45,000 to $46,350 in
2015-2016 to $47,741 in
2016-2017. The human resource/payroll clerk requested an increase to
$55,000 stating an increase
in responsibilities due to
the Affordable Care Act,
but the School Board opted
for a three percent increase.
Superintendent Jim Amsden would like to contact
Region 5 to complete a
work flow analysis and see
if some job responsibilities
need to be shifted around.
The School Board also
made some changes to the
non-certified confidential
employee contract language. They rejected
changing the contribution
to $6,000 to the married
couples’ HSA.
They
changed the clause that
states the School District
continues to pay health
coverage after an employee
reaches a combined 70
years work and age experience to match the language
of the teachers’ contract,
and they approved reimbursement of professional
fees.
Music Trip
The School Board received information on the
proposed 2017 music trip.
The possible locations include Washington DC/New
York City, New York City,
Washington DC, Boston,
San Francisco, Memphis/Nashville, Seattle, or Orlando. Eligible students in
this year’s grades 9-11 will
vote for the destination of
their choice. The proposed
time will be March 30
through April 8, 2017.
After students have voted
on a destination they will
need to commit with a $300
down payment. The 2017
trips are all by air because
the students wanted to
spend more time at their
destination and less time on
bus travel.
Resignations
The School Board accepted the resignations of
Kiley Puetz, fourth grade
teacher at the Gaylord site;
Lorraine Lieske, Arlington
cook; Linda Meyer, Gaylord head cook; Joan Budahn, Arlington head cook;
Danielle Frauendienst,
paraprofessional in Gaylord; and Anastacio Aranda,
paraprofessional in Gaylord.
The School Board approved maternity leave for
Laura Zender beginning on
or about July 16 through
January 1, 2017.
City Council approves seal coating plan
By Kurt Menk
Editor
The Arlington City Council, during its regular meeting
on Monday night, April 18,
unanimously approved a motion to approve the 2016 seal
coating plan and authorize
the advertisement of bids.
City Council members
Michelle Battcher, James
Jaszewski, Jim Heiland, Jennifer Nuesse and Galen Wills
all voted in favor of the motion.
Arlington seal coats onefifth of the town each year.
The streets that were seal
coated in 2012 are up again
in 2016. These streets include
West Chandler Street, Chestnut Drive, Mary Lane, Sheila
Drive, Shamrock Drive, West
Alden Street, Fourth Avenue
Northwest, Third Avenue
Northwest, Second Avenue
Northwest, First Avenue
Northwest, West and East
Adams Streets, West Baker
Street, Fourth Avenue Southwest, Third Avenue Southwest and Second Avenue
Southwest.
Streets Supervisor Tony
Voigt anticipates that the bids
will come in below budget
and therefore added the Community Center parking lots to
the project.
The bids for the project are
due Tuesday, May 10. The
City Council will act upon
the bids during its regular
meeting at 6:30 p.m. Monday,
May 16.
In other action, the City
Council unanimously adopted
a resolution to approve the
2016-2020 Capital Improvement Plan.
Battcher stressed that the
document is a plan, but not a
budget. The plan, she added,
will be used as a guideline
and offer the City Council
some flexibility.
In other news, the City
Council held the first reading
of Ordinance 306 which is An
Ordinance Amending the
2014 Arlington Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
Map and Section 4, Subdivision 2 (Official Zoning Map)
of Ordinance 169, The Zoning Ordinance.
The Arlington City Council
will hold its next regular
meeting at 6:30 p.m. Monday,
May 2.

News Briefs
Man jumps from bridge
Law enforcement officials responded to community
calls of a man jumping from the Highway 93 bridge in
Le Sueur on Thursday evening, April 14, according to
an article in the Le Sueur News Herald. However, no
rescue was needed as a Wisconsin man swam to safety
and was eventually brought to detox for evaluation.
Le Sueur Police Chief Bruce Kelly said witnesses
called in the report and the Minnesota State Patrol responded.
“He didn’t have to be rescued," Kelly said. “It doesn't
sound like he was suicidal. He was drunk and decided to
jump in the river.”
Two Le Sueur Police Department officers also assisted on the scene and talked to the man as he returned to
the bridge and eventually placed in a squad car. Traffic
on the bridge did not have to be re-routed.
“He was cited for disorderly conduct,” Kelly noted,
then transported for evaluation and brought to a detox
center.
The man’s name or permanent address has not yet
been released.

Sibley East Junior High School ranks high
By Steve Harter
SE Junior High Principal
Starting this week (week of
April 18), the students at Sibley East Schools will start the
“next” season at the school.
What I am referring to is the
“testing season”; all public
schools in Minnesota must
participate in this through the
administration of standardized tests. The particular test
that the Minnesota Department of Education requires us
to use is the Minnesota Comprehensive
Assessment
(MCA). The question of
“why do we take the tests” is
often asked. In short, the
Minnesota Department of Education says that the reason
for the tests is to see what
percentage of students can
meet or exceed the achievement standards that have
been established by both the
MDE and Minnesota educators. The MDE also says that
this allows the comparison
between schools and the state
wide average. Recently,
however, the MDE has started to focus more on the
growth of students and
schools in general than on
just what their yearly passing
percentages are in the categories of math, reading and
science. Because of this, a
new scoring system (MMR)
has been developed. The
MDE website defines MMR
as follows:
The Multiple Measurement
Rating (MMR) as a measurement of school performance
used
for holding schools
accountable under Minnesota's approved No Child Left
Behind waiver. The MMR

Krueger vehicular homicide
case is delayed until May 24
The vehicular homicide
case against Joshua Krueger,
Henderson, has been delayed
until Tuesday, May 24, according to an article in the Le
Sueur News Herald.
Assistant Sibley County
Attorney Donald Lannoye
said Krueger’s attorney, Peter
Timmons, disclosed an additional expert witness in the
case which was originally set
for trial March 29. Lannoye
believed the late disclosure
did not allow prosecution
enough time to prepare.
Therefore, it was the Sibley
County attorney’s decision to
request the two-month delay.
The case stems from a single car crash on Highway 19
just outside Henderson which
killed Le Sueur-Henderson
High School graduate Brendan Kroehler, 20, on Sept. 27,
2014.
Krueger, now 21, faces
three felony counts of criminal vehicular homicide, as
well as driving while intoxicated, driving after license
revocation and underage consumption.
The criminal complaint
against Krueger was filed in
Sibley County District Court
in Gaylord on May 18, 2015.
Timmons filed four motions last June and asked the
court to suppress some investigative materials and dismiss
all charges on the basis of evidence proving Krueger was
the driver of the vehicle was
insufficient.
District Court Judge Timothy Looby, however, denied
those motions and ordered
the case to jury trial.
A Minnesota State Patrol
reconstruction report on the
crash concluded Krueger
drove the vehicle based on
witness accounts and the nature of Krueger’s injuries,
which were consistent with
injuries a driver would sustain from striking the steering
wheel in a crash.
Judge Looby also ruled
previously that two conversations at hospitals two days
following the accident between Krueger and investigators did not require Miranda
warnings as Krueger was not
considered to be in custody.
Those hospital discussions
occurred at the Minnesota
Valley Health Center in Le
Sueur and the Hennepin
County Medical Center in
Minneapolis.
In a third conversation at
Krueger’s home in Henderson home on Dec. 4, 2014,
officers read a Miranda warning prior to their discussion.
A scheduled settlement
conference for Feb. 18, 2016,
did not produce an agreement
so a jury trial was scheduled.
Lannoye does not expect
any further delays and is
preparing for the court date
and trial on Tuesday, May 24.

Maverick Automotive open for business
By Kurt Menk
Editor
Maverick Automotive,
under the ownership of Peter
and Latosha Tuma, is open for
business at the corner of West
Main Street and Highway 5 in
downtown Arlington.
The couple purchased the
business, formerly known as
Quast Oil, from Wayne and
Louise Quast on Thursday
morning, March 31.
Peter, a 2006 graduate of St.
Peter High School, graduated
from Minnesota State University, Mankato, where he received a degree in Automotive
Engineering Technology in
2011.
While in college, Peter
worked at Tires Plus and
Adam’s Auto Service in
Mankato. He completed his
service engineer internship at
the Ford Motor Company in
Dearborn, Mich., in 2010.
Prior to the business purchase in Arlington, Peter was
employed as a senior service
engineer at Cummins Power
Generation in Fridley for five
years.
Latosha, a 2005 graduate of
the Le Sueur-Henderson,
graduated from the University
of Minnesota where she
earned a Bachelor of Science
Degree in Sociology. She later
obtained her Associate of Arts
Degree at Minnesota State
University, Mankato.
Latosha is fluent in American sign language.
The husband and wife team
at Maverick Automotive will
offer various repairs and
maintenance services includ-
ing alignments, brakes, tires,
diagnostics, repair work, air
conditioning, oil changes,
transmission flush and coolant
flush.
The business will be getting
new fuel dispensers installed
sometime in May that will
offer 24/7 pay at the pump.
“We will continue to offer
Regular 87 octane oxygenated
and Premium 91 octane nonoxygenated fuel, but will no
longer be offering mid-grade
fuel, as we will be replacing it
with diesel fuel underground
so it can be sold 24/7 at the
dispensers,” said Peter and
Latosha.
The couple currently lives
near Norseland and plans to
move to the Arlington area.

Caucus Night 2016 was
both a success and nightmare
Our View: It is time for Minnesota to
become a presidential primary state
Caucus Night 2016, which was held a little less than two
months ago, was both a success and a nightmare for the
same reason.
It was a success because there was a high turnout as over
300,000 people attended caucuses and became involved in
the political process across Minnesota.
It was also a nightmare because large groups of people
were unable to fit into small classrooms across the state.
Traffic and parking were also an issue for some caucus goers
while some locations ran out of registration forms and ballots. The current system is simply not designed to handle big
crowds. In addition, the current system which is held at night
discriminates against couples who have young kids and are
unable to leave their house and people who work evenings.
In the past, Caucus Night has worked well when fewer
Minnesotans were involved. In reality, the night is designed
for party loyalists at most caucus sites.
However, that has changed in the past eight years. Turnout
has increased sharply in 2008, 2012 and now this year, according to the Minnesota Secretary of State Office.
It is now time for Minnesota to change from a caucus state
to a presidential primary state.
Most people do not have the time or do not want to sit in a
small classroom and debate resolutions, shape platforms, select delegates and cast a ballot. A majority of people simply
want to stop at a polling place and vote for the presidential
candidate of their choice.
Minnesotans want to matter and the best way for voters to
have a say is for polls to be open all day just like General
Election Day.
Under a new presidential primary state system, party loyalists can still debate their resolutions, shape their platforms
and select their delegates at county conventions. Delegates
could then be designated proportionately and be committed
to the presidential candidate that people have supported at
least on the first convention ballot.
Changing to a presidential primary state would simplify
the system and more than likely increase voter participation
even more.

Question: What do you do if your
dog eats your pen?
Answer: Use a pencil instead.
*****
A man ran into a drug store and
asked the druggist if he knew how to
stop hiccups. Without warning the
druggist slapped him in the face.
“Hey! What did you do that for?”
asked the angry man.
“Well, you don’t have the hiccups
now do you?” replied the druggist.
“No, but my wife out in the car
still does,” answered the angry
man.

After an hour of “just a little more
white, two squirts of blue, a dash of
black and perhaps a tad more white,”
the paint clerk got the gallon of paint
to the exact shade the woman wanted. With a sigh of relief, he pounded
the lid on.
“Now what should I do if I need
more paint?” the woman asked.
“Please don’t come back here,”
the paint clerk begged.

Letter To The Editor
Gruenhagen speaks out on proposed bill
To The Editor,
This last Tuesday, April 12, the
Individual’s Right to Privacy and
Safety in Public Accommodations
Act was heard in the Civil Law
Committee. During this hearing,
several facts became evident from
the public testimony. I have outlined
these points below.
Legal testimony made it clear that
at a state and federal level there is
no legislation or court rulings that
require businesses or schools to permit the use of public facilities (such
as showers, locker rooms, or restrooms) by individuals of the opposite sex.
In fact, the existing precedent is
quite the opposite. There are numerous federal and state rulings that
clearly protect the constitutional
right of privacy and safety for all
Minnesotans, regardless of age, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
There is no legal basis to suggest
that requiring separate public facilities based on biological sex is discrimination. Instead, well-defined
legal decisions, and statutes requiring the separate use of public facilities based on biological sex, outline
a constitutional right to privacy and
public safety (see MN Supreme
Court decision: Goins v West
Group).
The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) is promoting “gender inclusive” policies to school
boards using a false narrative in
dealing with schools when they
claim that there are federal and state
laws or legal decisions that require
the adoption of such a policy. OutFront MN, in conjunction with
MDE, is promoting a “gender fluidity” curriculum to public elementary
schools, even at the kindergarten
level, that instructs children that
they must decide whether they identify as a boy or a girl. Experts op-
posing this curriculum claim that it
is a form of child abuse to confuse
children by promoting this false
choice. Also, teachers are being instructed in their continuing education classes to refer to children in
gender-neutral terms, such as
“friends” or “children” instead of
boys and girls.
This bill ensures the privacy and
safety of all Minnesotans, regardless
of sexual orientation, gender identity, or age, based on the only objective measure we have: biological
sex. It is a matter of human rights,
and I believe this clarification in
Minnesota’s Human Rights Act
statutes will benefit all citizens.
Thank you to everyone who has
contacted me in support of this legislation. Your encouragement is
much appreciated.

There’s too much secrecy in government
By Lee H. Hamilton
We have a secrecy problem. This
may seem odd to say during an era in
which the most intimate details of individuals’ lives are on display. Yet
government is moving behind closed
doors, and this is definitely the
wrong direction.
In fact, I’m dismayed by how often
public officials fight not to do the
public’s business in public. And I’m
not just talking about the federal government.
City and town councils regularly
go into executive session to discuss
“personnel issues” that might or
might not truly need to be carried on
outside public view. And let’s not
even talk about what can go on behind closed doors when it comes to
contracting.
At the state level, lawmakers exempt themselves from public records
laws, underfund public watchdogs,
and exempt lobbying expenditures
from sunshine laws. “While every
state in the nation has open records
and meetings laws, they’re typically
shot through with holes and exemptions,” the Center for Public Integrity
reported last year. “In most states, at
least one entire branch of government or agency claims exemptions
from the laws.”
In case you’re wondering whether
this has an impact on real people’s
lives, it’s worth remembering that
thousands of emails released in the
wake of Flint, Michigan’s water crisis revealed “what appears to be an
active effort by state employees to
avoid disclosure of public records
under [freedom of information
laws],” according to Governing magazine.
Meanwhile, there’s no shortage of
efforts to keep the public from learn-

ing all sorts of details about how the
federal government conducts business.
Campaign contributors increasingly manage to avoid disclosure of
their political activities. Government
contractors are not subject to most of
the transparency rules that affect federal agencies — even as more and
more business is being done through
contractors.
The 72 federal inspectors general
who are appointed to ensure the efficiency and accountability of the
agencies they oversee face constant
efforts to limit their access to
records. Routine information is classified and kept secret; members of
Congress joke that what they’ve just
read in a top-secret document was
taken from the front page of the New
York Times. Yet they themselves increasingly rely on omnibus spending
bills — which are put together behind closed doors by a handful of
leaders and congressional staff with
no public scrutiny.
Most notably, of course, secrecy
extends to national security issues.
There are some government secrets
that are necessary to protect, and a
balance has to be struck between protecting national security and openness. But the presumption should be
in favor of openness. Those who
favor secrecy should make their case
in public and not rely on the old
adage, “Trust me.”
Take the question of the U.S.
drone program. The overall program
may be necessary, and technical
means, operational details, intelligence methods are all rightfully classified. But that should not be an excuse for hiding information from the
American people about what we’re
doing with drones. Do we want our

resources spent on targeted killing

killed? What’s the evidence on which
we base who gets killed? How many
innocent people have been killed?
The American people have a right to
know what’s going on. But we’re
being kept in the dark.
Openness is not a panacea, but it
makes good government more likely.
Representative democracy depends
on our ability to know what’s being
done in our name. We cannot exercise the discriminating judgment required of citizens about politics, policies and politicians if we do not
know what they’re doing. Nor is it
possible to maintain the checks and
balances required under our Constitution without openness and transparency. We have to shine a bright
light on the actions of public officials
so that it’s more likely they’ll act
with integrity. Justice Louis Brandeis
gave perhaps the most famous formulation of this requirement in his
1913 statement, “[S]unlight is said to
be the best disinfectant.”
But Judge Damon Keith of the
Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals put an
exclamation point on the idea in a
2002 ruling that the government
could not carry out secret deportation
hearings without proving the need
for secrecy. “Democracies,” he
wrote, “die behind closed doors.”

Gary Moeller, 80, Arlington
“Your Dad went to Heaven
last night.” The exact words
during a phone call from
Mom that
will always
be
engrained to
m e m o r y.
As sad as
this is, it’s
the
best
news ever “Dad is in
Heaven!”
Gary L. Gary Moeller
Moeller passed away from a
heart attack on Monday,
March 7. Earlier that day,
Gary had been enjoying life
to the fullest. He was living
in Harlingen, Texas, celebrating his 57-year wedding anniversary with his wife, Marlene (Tonjes) Moeller. The
weather was fabulous in the
RV park they call “home”
during the winter months
(during the warmer months
home is Arlington, Minnesota). Gary’s younger brother
(Wayne) and sister-in-law
(Kay) have their RV parked
right next door. The four of
them are connected at the hip.
The celebration ended quite
abruptly following their dinner outing at Logan’s Roadhouse Restaurant. God just
had other plans for Gary unbeknownst to them. He called
Gary home.
Gary was born to Eugene
and Wilma (Sasse) Moeller in
Snyder, Neb., on Feb. 23,
1936. Gary was big brother to
Rodney (Jan), Natalie
(Dwaine) Nau and Wayne
(Kay). During those 57 years
together, Gary and Marlene
had three children, Wendy
(Brian) Bruers, Gail (Greg)
Thomes
and
Michael
(Angie). Then came those
very special grandchildren,
Brian (Liz) Klancke, Dan
(friend Teresa) Klancke,
Stephanie (Mitch) Koller,
Melissa (fiance Nathan)
Thomes and Sawyer Moeller.
Gary had an even softer spot
for his great-grandchildren,
12 in all to love and cherish.
The celebration was sure to
continue up in Heaven as
Gary was welcomed by his
parents; his brother, Rodney
and Michael’s son, Sawyer.
In reality, aren’t we all waiting for this phone call?
Gary was always proud of
the fact that he served in the
U.S. Army ((1955-1958).
We’re proud of him, too!
“March 7th,” in general
was busy for Gary’s family. It
was Gary and Marlene’s anniversary, the day Gary died
and also the day Gary’s dad
died...46 years earlier (at age
57).
A memorial service will be
held at St. Paul’s Lutheran
Church in Green Isle on
Thursday evening, May 5.
The family would like you to
join them at 6 p.m. for a meal
and at 7 p.m. the church service will take place. That is
correct. We will eat first in
the fellowship hall followed
by the church service.

History
85 Years Ago
April 16. 1931
Louis Kill, Editor
Mrs. Fred Mueller, highly respected and well known pioneer
woman, passed away at the family home in this village yesterday morning at 3 o’clock after
an illness of a week or more
with pneumonia. She reached
the age of 75 years and 12 days.
Mrs. Mueller bore the distinction of being the first white child
born in Arlington township, and

Warm weather conditions favor rapid
planting, guidelines for corn planting
Warm and dry conditions
allowed Minnesota farmers to
begin planting in earnest,
with significant progress in
planting small grain acreage
during the week ending April
17, 2016, according to
USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Over
one-half of the sugarbeet
acreage was planted during
the week, resulting in the
largest percent of the crop
planted by this date on
record. There were 5.1 days
suitable for fieldwork.
Thirteen percent of Minnesota’s expected corn
acreage has been planted, 8
days ahead of the 5-year average and 3 days ahead of last
year. Twenty-three percent of
the spring wheat acreage has
been planted, which is equal
to the 5-year average, but 5
days behind last year.
Maximum corn yield in
Minnesota is generally obtained when planting occurs
in late April or early May. In
years when spring arrives
early, a mid-April planting
date can produce similar
yield if young plants are not
damaged by a freeze in May.
In years when few growing
degree days are accumulated
during late April and the first
half of May, maximum corn
yield also can be obtained
when planting occurs in midMay. Dr. Jeff Coulter, University of Minnesota Extension
Corn Specialist provides the
following guidelines for successful corn establishment
this spring:
Achieve good seed-to-soil
contact and root
development
A firm seedbed at planting
is critical for good seed-tosoil contact and establishment
of the nodal roots which develop near the soil surface. A
seedbed can be considered
too loose if one sinks greater
than one inch when walking
through the field, but this can
vary with planting equipment. At the same time, avoid
excessive pre-plant tillage,
which can result in surface
crusting and emergence problems if heavy rainfall occurs
prior to emergence. Excessive
pre-plant tillage also enhances the risk of wind erosion and sandblasting to corn
seedlings.
A planting depth of 2 inches is optimal for corn in most
situations in Minnesota. Shallow placement of seed increases the risk of poor nodal
root establishment. High
planting speeds that result in
bounce of planter units
should be avoided, as this can
result in shallow placement
of some seeds and variable
emergence.
Avoid tillage when
soils are wet
In general, a field is ready
for seedbed preparation when
soil in the depth of tillage
crumbles when squeezed.
Pre-plant tillage when soils
are wet can create a cloddy
seedbed that reduces seed-tosoil contact. Achieving excellent seed-to-soil contact is
important for rapid and uniform imbibition of moisture
by seeds. Tillage when soils
are wet also can create a zone
of compaction just below the
depth of tillage that can restrict root development.
Sidewall compaction can
occur when planter disc
openers cut through wet finetextured soil, resulting in
compacted soil around the
seed that is difficult for nodal
roots to penetrate. In addition, seed furrows can open
following planting in such
conditions, resulting in poor
seed-to-soil contact and poor
stand establishment.
Optimize planting rate
Optimal corn planting rates
vary somewhat with hybrid,
soil productivity, and expected yield. However, planting
rates of 34,000 to 36,000
seeds/acre generally maximize economic return in most
fields in Minnesota.

Drive in Arlington at 7 p.m.
Thursday, April 21.
Founded in 1994, this
group of men has brought
their unique talents and min-

country. God has used a combined musical experience of
over 100 years to mold and
form the group into exactly
what He needed.
The Lord has blessed Still
Water in many ways and has
taken them many miles to deliver the message of Jesus
Christ. A Still Water concert
is far more than just rich vocals and wonderful arrangements; it is a time of spirit
filled ministry. Their blend of
traditional Southern Gospel
styling with modern harmonies has had an impact on
audiences in just about every
setting one could imagine.
