Scaled down history

Wayne Kirchhoff, Atlantic, carefully guides his saw through a piece of wood. For the last 27 years, he has dedicated his time and talents to creating replicas of past and present buildings around the United States. Photos by Greg Forbes

Atlantic man crafts replicas of rural America buildings

The “#1 and 1985” signify the first building that Wayne Kirchhoff constructed. He volunteered to build a replica of his father’s century farm for a toy show in 1985 and has continued to make replicas of barns and buildings ever since.

by Greg Forbes Every item in a collection has sentimental value, whether it is received as a gift, found at a bargain store or passed down from generation to generation. But for one Atlantic man, his collection is entirely handmade to preserve the architectural history of United States agriculture. Wayne Kirchhoff, a lifelong farmer, began constructing replica farm-

houses, barns and small town buildings in April 1985 when three of his friends wanted to host a farm toy show and asked if he had anything he could contribute. So Kirchhoff used his interest in woodworking to develop a replica of the century farm his father grew up on. The model included the farmhouse, the barn, the corncrib, a garage and the cattle shed. When the show rolled

around in September, Kirchhoff presented the carefully crafted display that paid homage to his family’s agricultural background. Now, more than a quarter of a century later, Kirchhoff’s wood shop and shed are crammed wall to wall with saws, wood, future projects and finished barns. Each building in his portfolio was designed to scale from past and pres-

ent structures around the United States. His favorite model, a giant red barn, sits high on a shelf above the rest glowing in fluorescent lighting. The inspiration, constructed in 1876, sits in a field in Illinois. Kirchhoff said the owner listed the barn as 90 feet long and 50 feet wide with nearly every inch covered in vivid red paint.

IOWA FARM & RANCH: STATEWIDE EDITION

Iowa Power Farming Show in Des Moines January 29-31

Greg Lear of Spencer installed as new IPPA president Pork producer Greg Lear, of Spencer, was installed as the new president of the Iowa Pork Producers Association (IPPA). Lear began his one-year term at the conclusion of the January 22 IPPA annual meeting in Des Moines. Lear has been on the IPPA board of directors since 2006 and served as president-elect in 2012. "We have a good, diverse group of people on the board and we are losing some retiring members who will be missed," Lear said. "Their years of experience will be difficult to replace." Lear takes the leadership role at a time of uncertainty for the pork industry, especially as it relates to the current predominant sow housing system, and it concerns him. "Our industry is under constant attack from different directions and our way of life is being threatened. We're going to take our industry back using the same tactics as our opponents: one consumer at a time," said Lear. "IPPA is a grassroots organization and we're the ones who need to tell our story the way it needs to be told."

PAGE 3

The pork industry is opposed to new USDA rules governing school lunches and is working to have rules changed to permit more pork and other protein to be served to school children. Lear is passionate about making this happen. "We have a major issue with the calorie count, but especially the protein content of the new lunch rules. A growing mind and a growing body do not need to be shorted protein, Lear said. "We need to get Washington, D.C.'s attention, or maybe Mrs. Obama's, in this case." The use of antibiotics in livestock production is being brought into question and Lear added the truth needs to be told on the antibiotic issue. At the state level, Lear lauded the recently launched Iowa Farm Animal Care program. "This is going to be a wonderful service for people who have questions or concerns,” he commented. In addition to co-owning Spencer Ag Center, Lear owns a separate wean-to-finish hog business in Clay County. Bill Tentinger, a pork producer from Le Mars, was IPPA president in 2012.

The 2013 Iowa Power Farming Show will take place January 29-31 at the Iowa Events Center located in Des Moines. Dates and times are Tuesday and Wednesday, January 29 and 30, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Thursday, January 31, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is $6 for adults and free for children 14 years of age and younger. More than 750 ag-related companies will be on hand to receive the expected 20,000 visitors in the heart of farm country. Knowledgeable sales staff at 1,840 engaging exhibitor booths will display the latest in farm equipment and precision ag electronics. The Iowa Power Farming Show is owned and managed by the Iowa-Nebraska Equipment Dealers Association, which represents more than 400 agricultural and outdoor power equipment dealers throughout Iowa and Nebraska. Show organizers from the Iowa-Nebraska Equipment Dealers Association (I-NEDA) unveiled a new logo and newly redesigned website to complement the show’s new “More Power to You” theme. The new logo will be featured heavily in the all of the show’s promotions and communications, including the annual 40-page show program and digital platforms like the new website, e-newsletter, and social media profiles on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. The Iowa Power Farming Show is the third largest indoor farm show in North America.

Tickets and logistics As I write this, my family and I are preparing to take a heifer to the Denver Stock show. I’m not really sure if the big kid or the even bigger kid (my husband) wanted to go there more, but nonetheless, they’ll be making the trip west to the great state of Colorado with a heifer in tow behind them. Since the fun experience of driving to and from Ohio last year, I really didn’t want to drive in a truck for an entire day -- through Nebraska -- to go to Denver. Since my son was showing I thought I should at least make an appearance. The airfares from Omaha to Denver looked pretty cheap, so I thought I could just fly out on Thursday, see him show on Friday, then fly back on Saturday. This, of course, would leave the 10-yearold home with grandparents. Then my husband said it. You know, one of the things that husbands shouldn’t really say without consulting with their wives. He told the little kid that he would be able to fly with me to Denver. Great.

Don’t get me wrong. I love my child. But he doesn’t stop talking. Ever. I really don’t know where he gets it from, because I’m such a quiet reserved person. (Pause for laughter here from my family and friends.) I’m hoping we make it through security, or that at least they’re fast this time around. The boy has been practicing “quiet” but the most he’s lasted so far has been about 72 seconds. Security might last a bit longer than that. So, now we’re up to two tickets, and one more day. Since all four of us would be there, why not stay one more day and come back Sunday so we can see some things. It made sense at the time. Then, since we all were going, and the airfare was so cheap, my parents decided they wanted to go as well. I say the more the merrier. I always loved vacationing with my grandparents, and loved the memories. I’m happy to jump at any chance that my kids can have those same experiences. Four tickets, flying out

Thursday and coming back Sunday were purchased. Then, life laughed at us. Maybe it was karma, or maybe it was just shear dumb luck. My son decided to participate in large group speech this year as a freshman, and is in the one-act play group. This was not a problem, since the contest was last Saturday, the 19th. It didn’t interfere with anything. Then, we found out that the home show for the public was on Sunday. This Sunday. The day we were flying and driving back from Denver. Changing tickets was way beyond my capabilities, so I stopped into my travel agent’s office. She managed to switch the return tickets for mom and me from Sunday to Saturday, and switch the little kid’s ticket into the big kid’s name flying back Saturday with us. The little kid, my dad, and my husband will then drive the heifer back on Sunday. Phew. Yes, I’m still confused by all the logistics of it as well. My travel agent deserves a

THE

FARMER’S WIFE By Christy Welch trophy for the scheduling acrobatics she had to do to make this happen! (Always visit your local travel agent when scheduling trips. They are truly modern-day miracle workers!) I know my mom, my son and I will make it back alive. We’re all pretty laid back when it comes to traveling. At this point, I’m not really sure if all of the other three are going to make it back to Iowa alive.

Somehow, my husband’s attitude towards life has morphed into my father’s attitude. And the little guy has consumed his grandfather’s attitude as well. I blame all the weeks in the summer he gets to spend with grandpa working the hot dog cart. Nonetheless, all three of them will be stuck together in a truck, with a trailer, through Nebraska, in the middle of winter. I can’t be certain, but I’m not entirely sure they are all going to make it back into the truck when they stop to eat or stop for gas. I’ll say a few prayers for them, but my mom and I will be watching all of the good performances by our school’s speech department. And, just for fun, after that we’ll head over to our church where the kids will be performing their puppet show. Isn’t there some honorary degree I can get in family logistics? If one doesn’t exist I think we farmer’s wives should get together and create one. Or at least a free trip to someplace warm. Without cattle.

New staff member at ICA to focus on public policy initiatives The Iowa Cattlemen’s Association has added a new staff member who will be a resource for ICA members on grassroots and public policy issues. Justine Stevenson, a Jones County native, joined the ICA staff on January 14 as the director of government relations and public policy. In that role, Stevenson will have a priority focus on assisting ICA members Justine Stevenson on local, state and national issues, whether in the legislative arena or with agency relationships. “Justine will enhance the connection between ICA membership and government entities by using member input to outline policy focus. She will also provide avenues for membership to voice input on topics impacting the cattle and beef businesses of Iowa,” said Matt Deppe, ICA’s chief executive officer. Stevenson grew up on a farm near Cascade that included a beef feedyard, and is now involved in a cowcalf operation near Knoxville. She received a bachelors degree in animal science at Iowa State University, and recently earned a Masters of Science degree in meat science from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. “Justine has spent her life talking to cattle producers. She understands their production challenges and is ready to tell their story to legislators and agency decision-makers,” Deppe said.

BUILDING, from Page 1 “I said ‘That must have taken a lot of paint.’ He said it took 200 gallons,” Kirchhoff explained. “That one is my favorite but a lot of people’s favorite one is over here,” he said as he pointed to a shelf with a few beat-up looking buildings on it. The weathered look of the barn, corncrib and house was intentional. Kirchhoff mentioned that he was told all of his buildings looked like they did when they were first constructed and his architecture was missing a common element that spots the cornfields of rural Iowa. “Someone said, ‘you should make one that we see every day,’” Kirchhoff said, and that is what he did. With the use of old barn boards with faded paint, Kirchhoff constructed a miniature barn bearing the look of neglect. Its paint is faded, the roof sunken and the windows hang on by a screw. The slanted roof of the corncrib and the downtrodden appearance of the house display the scars of a common Iowa summer occurrence. “These were hit by a tornado,” Kirchhoff said. Those particular buildings were not designed from a model or pictures, just the inspiration from the crumbling structures as common on Iowa highways as corn. For his other creations, however, he receives pictures or takes a field trip to observe the buildings himself. He viewed the giant red barn in person in Woodhall, Illinois – about 30 miles south of Moline. Stories of an eight-sided corncrib brought him to Wilcox, Missouri. Kirchhoff estimated that he has visited about half of his creations. Kirchhoff also has a personal connection to some of his creations. A model of the country school he attended in grade school sits on the floor. Amid a collection of multisided barns stands a miniature monolith; a replica of his old high school in Lewis he constructed for his 50th high school class reunion. The building is complete with metal plates above the two doors that read “Lewis School”. The bricks are appropriately textured. Kirchhoff explained that he began with the base paint as the color of the mortar and rolled the brick sheets onto the building and added a texture layer that he then sealed with polyurethane to stick to the walls. Believably so, when Kirchhoff unveiled his creation at the reunion, his classmates were stunned. “They could not believe it,” he said. He not only travels to visit the buildings, but also relocates his models around the country at toy shows, museums and any other location looking for a throwback splash of history. One tour with his nephew’s seed company brought him and his exhibits to Redwood Falls, Minnesota, Mitchell, South Dakota and the South Dakota State Fair in Huron. Following the tour, he traveled to Spencer to exhibit his creations at the Clay County Fair and then ventured to Grand Island, Nebraska, for the Husker Harvest Days for four days. His journey ended at the Farm Progress Show in Amana. In all, Kirchhoff was gone for 24 straight days. He’s proudly displayed his work at Fremont, Nebraska, South Sioux City, throughout Kansas and in Des Moines. “I’ve been to toy shows all over,” he said. He was also selected to attend the National Farm Toy Show in Dyersville where he displayed a different sort of

model. This time, Kirchhoff proudly displayed his replica tractors, also hand carved in his shop. Over three days in Dyersville, 16,000 people passed Kirchhoff’s tractors. And each day, Kirchhoff heard the stories of farmers and arguments as to why or why not the big brothers of his creations were actually fit for fieldwork. “It was fun just hearing the stories from all the farmers that stopped by,’ he said. Although woodworking has led him to create cabinets, toy tractors and various carvings, his true passion remains small-scale architecture, particularly barns. “I would sooner do a barn than a house,” Kirchhoff explained. “I see something I want to do and I do it.” Not once in his 27 years of constructing replicas has he considered accepting money for his creations. Although the glue, nails, wood and paint cost him a healthy sum of money, he continues to make his buildings strictly to preserve the life of rural America’s past. “I’ve never considered selling my buildings. I had a chance to but my nieces and nephews said ‘No! Don’t sell them,’” said Kirchhoff. He was commissioned to create just one structure; the Manning Hausbarn, which was returned to him eventually. The shelves and floors in the front room of his shop are packed with his finished creations. Most finished works have the name of the building, the date the original structure was erected, its location and the date Kirchhoff put

the finishing touches on the scale model. He does not consider his shop to be a museum but the dedication to his craft has drawn attention from the media and public. Television stations, newspapers and tour buses have made the trip down the dirt road south of Atlantic to see the buildings. “I have people stop quite often,” Kirchhoff said. He added that one day in the near future, he plans to have a museum in Griswold for his work. Kirchhoff mentioned he had no formal training in woodworking but years of cutting and gluing have helped sharpen his skills. He does not look at a new or unusual style as a task but more as a challenge. “My woodworking was self taught but shop class was a favorite of mine in high school,” he stated. “I like to see how close I can get it to look like the real thing.” His attempt to perfect the craft has led to a close relationship with his saws and workman’s bench. Woodworking provides solace and an opportunity to display his talents. “This gives me something to show what I’ve done with my time. I’m not married, I don’t go to bars and I can’t golf,” Kirchhoff said. “I spend a lot of time down here. I come here to work and to get my mind off of stuff.” While he enjoys escaping from the stress of the real world on occasion, he jumps at the opportunity to show his work and talk to people. He expressed that his shop is open for tours upon request. “All you have to do is ask,” he said.

Online tool offers cover crop possibilities for Iowa growers Iowa farmers are encouraged to check out a new online tool that will help them select the right cover crop for their operations. The Cover Crop Decision Tool was developed by the Midwest Cover Crops Council to help farmers select cover crop species based on their main crops, available planting windows and what they needed from the cover crop such as stopping erosion, livestock forage or to control weeds. Last year, for example, farmers throughout the Midwest were urged to plant fall cover crops as a way to keep nitrogen in the soil that was not used by crops during the drought-stressed growing season. New data updates the Cover Crop Decision Tool so that it can be used for Iowa crops and conditions. “This tool should be a big help for farmers planning, considering or just thinking about how and where they

might use cover crops,” said Tom Kaspar, USDA plant physiologist involved with the Iowa Cover Crops Working Group that helped develop the tool. “The planting window for each species is adjusted for each county in all participating states, a unique aspect of this resource.” Kaspar said the tool is specific to region, soil drainage class and includes information about a variety of cover crop species: non-legumes such as oats, buckwheat, barley, triticale and winter wheat; brassicas such as radish, oilseed and turnip; legumes including alfalfa, red clover and cowpeas; and five mixes. The tool suggests cover crop species and potential planting date windows that usually provide good establishment and growth, based on 30-year average frost dates in the user’s county. To find the Cover Crop Decision Tool, go to www.mccc.msu.edu/selectorINTRO.html.

IOWA FARM & RANCH: STATEWIDE EDITION

21 soybean farmers on ISA Farm and Food Ambassador team

Farmers National Company projects short supply, higher values in 2013 for farm land

Twenty-one Iowa soybean farmers have stepped forward as volunteer spokespeople on the Iowa Soybean Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (ISAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) Farm and Food Ambassador team. The goal of the program is to empower ISA members to share messages and issues that are important to their organization and farming. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ambassadors are Roger Wuthrich, Bloomfield; Roger Van Ersvelde, Brooklyn; Jim Fitkin, Cedar Falls; Kyle Maas, Duncombe; Justin and Jennifer Dammann, Essex; Dan Roeder and Jolene Riessen, Ida Grove; Tom Wall, Iowa City; David Ausberger, Jefferson; Adam Schmidt, Kanawha; Lindsay Greiner, Keota; Andrew Yoder, Leon; Barry Christensen, Lime Springs; Tim Couser, Nevada; Pat Swanson, Ottumwa; Julianne Johnston, Parkersburg; Tom Vincent, Perry; Randy Souder, Rockwell City; Chuck White, Spencer; and John Askew, . Ambassadors share their message in many ways, including hosting farm tours, submitting letters to the editor and visiting with consumers at the Iowa State Fair and Iowa Games events. In addition to talking to consumers, the ambassador team also communicates with state legislators and industry leaders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people are two generations or more removed from the farm, and this holds true at the statehouse,â&#x20AC;? said Jolene Riessen of Ida Grove. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my job as an Iowa farmer to visit with legislators and help them understand the impact of the legislation they write on my farming operation. I believe these folks need to understand the importance of agriculture to Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy,â&#x20AC;? she added.

Economic uncertainty had some non-operating farmland owners rushing to sell, which was evident in the last three months of the 2012, according to Farmers National Company, the largest farmland and ranchland real estate company in the country. Overall for 2012, Farmers National Company reported that sales activity was up 40 percent compared 2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We anticipated another record year in 2012, but what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen has exceeded our expectations,â&#x20AC;? said Derrick Volchoff, ALC, vice president of real estate operations at Farmers National Company. The company said projected changes in tax laws prompted many landowners who were planning to sell in the next two years to act before new rules took effect. The high level of activity is likely to lead to a short supply of available land in 2013, which could drive values even higher, according to Volchoff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pure economics should dictate that values rise if the supply of available land tightens,â&#x20AC;? he stated. The fact that values have stayed strong over the past few years has prompted landowners to sell while the market remains positive. Several market forces such as economic uncertainty in Europe and China, as well as the widespread drought, have not negatively impacted land values to date. Buyers in the current market are farmers looking to expand their operations, said Volchoff. Non-operating land owners are driving activity, as many sellers are looking to sell inherited or transferred land. High profitability from strong commodity prices in recent years has put many farmers in a strong cash position, reducing purchase risk as debt ratios have been held down. Very few investors are looking to sell at this

PAGE 13

point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buyers feel they will still get returns on land well into 2013 as projections for continued profitability are strong,â&#x20AC;? said Volchoff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farm operators feel very comfortable in their situations. They have significant cash and are investing it in their operations buying land and equipment.â&#x20AC;? The future of the market, while unforeseen, is not risky, according to Volchoff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The farm land market has not been highly leveraged, as residential housing markets were when prices skyrocketed. This is not a speculative market and we do not foresee any type of abrupt downturn. People still see land as a safe, tangible investment and are willing to keep their money there over the long term.â&#x20AC;? Demand for quality land continues to be very strong in the North Central Region including Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota and South Dakota, according to Sam Kain, area sales manager for Farmers National Company in Iowa and Minnesota. Auction numbers in the region were up in 2012, prompting sellers to net top sales prices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farmers National Company completed more than 175 auctions in this region during 2012, which is up 35 percent over the prior year,â&#x20AC;? said Kain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Demand is still outpacing the number of properties available, and quality is definitely king.â&#x20AC;? Despite higher cash rents and input costs narrowing farmer profits, the majority of buyers in the North Central Region continue to be farmers. In Iowa, top quality land is selling at more than $12,500 per acre, Minnesota values are reaching $9,500 per acre, and values in eastern South Dakota have reached $8,000 plus in many areas.

IOWA FARM & RANCH: STATEWIDE EDITION

JANUARY 2013

Unusual crop provides tasty benefits to livestock, farmers by Greg Forbes Throughout the Midwest, unusual plants have been utilized as cover crops. Small amounts of farmers have turned to turnips and radishes as the winter cover. Mark Licht, a field agronomist with Iowa State University stationed in Nevada, said the crops provide an added bonus to farmers with livestock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We see some people use tillage radishes or purple top turnips and intermix those with winter rye. The radishes and turnips provide a grazing value,â&#x20AC;? Licht said. While winter rye and even fall oats dominates crop cover planting due to a lower price tag, Licht said farmers with livestock would save money in feed costs by planting

ed in nearby states such as Illinois and Michigan than in Iowa. Turnip acres continue to be scarce due to the price of feed as well as the ecological benefits. Winter rye provides more of a soil benefit to farmers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farmers get better soil conservation and water quality benefits from winter rye,â&#x20AC;? Licht stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From a soil standpoint, growers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to get much help from turnips.â&#x20AC;? In fact, Licht said he has seen an increase in winter rye planting in the last few years for a number of reasons. He commented, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is it attributed to the high profile of soil and water quality issues or the state of the agriculture industry? I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say attribute it to one cause but a combination of issues has lead to an increased adoption rate.â&#x20AC;?

turnips and radishes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (radishes and turnips) are being used the most in grazing. In a round about way, farmers plant them for monetary value,â&#x20AC;? he stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (farmers) get a return on the cost from the feed value they are gaining.â&#x20AC;? Cattle prefer the large, nutrient-laden fruit compared to regular feed. Therefore, farmers can accumulate a surplus of hay in current less-than-ideal conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I encourage planting turnips for livestock, especially if we had a situation like last summer where we were low on hay and forage,â&#x20AC;? Licht said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helps farmers stretch their hay crop out longer, helps them make sure they keep their livestock fed and keeps feed costs down.â&#x20AC;? Licht said he believes more turnip acres have been plant-
