A frosty walk Dennis Bergstadt, rural Denison, makes a path to his beautiful red, arched-roof barn the morning of February 6. The original barn burned down in October of 1932. Friends and neighbors came to build the existing barn and Bergstadt’s folks milked their first cows in the new barn on Christmas Eve that year. A storm on February 4 brought the first significant snowfall to west central and southwest Iowa since December 3. State Climatologist Harry Hillaker said December 2011 and January 2012, the first twothirds of what is considered the winter season, were the eighth warmest in 139 years of statewide weather records. The last time the state had a warmer December and January was December 2001 and January 2002. Photo by Bruce A. Binning

IFAA offers Iowa youth $97,000 in scholarships
Iowa FFA chapters to observe National FFA Week Feb. 18-25 FFA chapters throughout Iowa will celebrate National FFA Week February 18 through 25. This year’s theme, I Believe, celebrates more than 80 years of FFA traditions while eagerly anticipating the organization’s future. FFA members are the innovators and leaders of tomorrow. Through agricultural education and hands-on learning, they prepare for the more than 300 career opportunities in the food, fiber and natural resources industry. National FFA Week is sponsored by Tractor Supply Company and Carhartt as a special project of the National FFA Foundation and annually encompasses February 22, George Washington’s birthday.
College-bound Iowa youth active in 4-H and/or FFA livestock projects and current undergraduate students may apply for $97,000 in scholarships available from the Iowa Foundation for Agricultural Advancement (IFAA). The scholarships are available to freshmen entering any Iowa two- or four-year post-secondary institution this fall or current undergraduates attending Iowa State University. Applicants must major in animal science or a curriculum in agriculture or human sciences that is related to the animal industry. The awards include: Š Three $5,500 one-year scholarships Š Four $5,000 one-year scholarships Š One $4,000 one-year scholarship Š One $3,000 one-year scholarship Š 13 $2,000 one-year scholarships Š Six $1,500 one-year scholarships Š 16 $1,000 one-year scholarships Š Five $500 one-year scholarships Applications and additional information are available by visiting the Sale of Champions section of the Iowa State
Fair’s web site (http://www.iowastatefair.org/competition/sale-of-champions/winners-circle-scholarships/) or by calling 515-291-3941. Selection will be based on level of 4-H/FFA involvement in livestock project work, livestock exhibition and/or judging, scholarship, leadership and career plans. Applications for current undergraduate students must be postmarked by April 1, 2012, and applications for incoming freshmen must be postmarked by May 1, 2012.

It is comprised of agricultural enthusiasts dedicated to encouraging 4-H and FFA livestock, poultry and agricultural project members to pursue ag-related careers. IFAA scholarship funds come from a percentage of Sale of Champions proceeds, as well as Winner’s Circle Club donations.
More than 16,000 connect with national FFA organization during campaign Thousands throughout the United States connected with FFA during a four-month campaign that shared today’s relevance of the 84-year-old organization and asked supporters to share their personal story about how FFA made a difference in their lives. Launched in August 2010, CONNECT! is a partnership between the National FFA Foundation, National FFA Organization and National FFA Alumni. The campaign’s goal
was to establish a connection between FFA with the estimated seven million people who have been members of the organization since its inception in 1928, supporters, friends and others. When the promotional portion of the campaign ended December 30, more than 16,000 people had established a new or renewed connection with FFA. “We received thousands of personal stories how FFA has
shaped lives and careers, turned quiet and shy students into committed and dedicated leaders and prepared young adults for life-long careers in the agriculture industry,� said National FFA Foundation executive director Rob Cooper. CONNECT! will continue to reach out to people who have been involved with FFA and anyone who is interested in learning more about FFA. To connect with FFA, visit www.FFA.org/Connect.

New online tool: Farmer Legal and Regulatory Guide The Iowa Soybean Association’s Environmental Programs and Services (ISA EPS) team announced a new, free online tool for farmers wanting to know what rules and regulations impact their operation. Organized in a question and answer format, the “Iowa Farmer’s Legal and Regulatory Guide to Environmental Issues” is intended to help farmers navigate issues to figure out what are their rights and responsibilities and where to find more information. Topics include: air quality, animal production, fertilizers, fuel storage, leasing, manure management, pesticide use, soil conservation programs, water quality and more. It also includes information about incentive programs provided in the law that farmers can benefit from. The website can be found at www.iasoybeans.com/environment/legal/ Funded by the soybean checkoff and Congressional allocations through the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the guide was compiled by the Drake Agricultural Law Center, under direction of Neil Hamilton, a leading authority on ag law. It fills a gap by making information available and un-
derstandable to nonlawyers, and pointing them in the direction of more information. Hamilton cautioned that the guide does not replace one’s own attorney. “We don’t know the facts of a particular situation, but the information we provide can probably tell enough for a farmer to know if they have an issue and need to contact an attorney,” he said. The website can be especially helpful for farmers involved in ISA’s CEMSA (Certified Environmental Management Systems for Agriculture). ISA Technical Assistance Manager Martha Zwonitzer and other trained CEMSA staff currently work with more than 250 participants to develop custom-fit management plans to measure soil, nutrient, pest and energy management, and improve farmers’ efficiency and profitability. One section of completing the CEMSA process requires farmers to address the legal and regulatory issues they face and show they are staying abreast of environmental issues. This website can help them do that. Whether a farmer is involved in CEMSA or not, the website offers a wealth of useful, easy-to-use information.

Supply and demand The Super Bowl has come and gone, and with it another round of multi-million dollar advertisements geared towards the bookend states. It’s not like I can’t appreciate some of the better commercials I saw. I can’t tell you the number of times I thought about slingshotting my children when they were in the jumper, but a grandma doing it to get bag of Doritos from a taunting older brother? Too much fun! And, really, who doesn’t want a dog that caters to the thirst of you and your friends? Here, Weego! Sadly, my 14-year-old son had to explain Audi’s vampire commercial at the beginning of the game. I know the big ad agencies that are located in the bookend states don’t give any thought to us in the flyover, but I really think it would be nice of we could get some agricultural com-
mercials going during the Super Bowl to educate the coasters about our contribution to their energy and food needs. For example, we do produce a good amount of both wind energy and ethanol. Imagine scenes of corn growing in the fields, then being trucked to the ethanol plant. Cut to a tanker truck leaving that same plant and showing up at a gas station, where a car is pumping ethanol. The final scene could be a Middle Eastern oil producer screaming, “Noooooo!” as he pulls up to his gas station and sees a sign for an ethanol pump, and the oil rigs in the background stop pumping. Here’s another idea. Start with a scene of the Statue of Liberty’s light going out, and one of the park service guys placing a call asking for more energy. Cut to a bunch of people in random California hot spots, like the Hollywood
sign and the Golden Gate Bridge, blowing towards the east. Cut to a shot of our wind turbines pumping at a pretty good chop, then the Statue of Liberty with her light on again, and the first guy wiping his forehead saying, “That was close.” We can even get PETA involved in the ads, maybe. How about a family settling down with a big plate of tofu with a little boy asking where it comes from. The parents look at each other, and head out for a vacation to an Iowa soybean field! The last scene can be the little boy looking longingly at the field of cattle. Of course, the next commercial would be extolling the virtues of eating beef. I never said I was a good PR person, but at least some of our industries could have been represented in the Super Bowl. California had their happy cow commercials a few years ago, after all.
THE
FARMER’S WIFE By Christy Welch One would think that Iowa could have their own commercials. Maybe some happy country sweet corn, taunting the city sweet corn and telling him he’s lost all flavor, since he doesn’t have fresh air in which to grow. What would you say to a
country pig longing for a life in the big city, only to find he’s over-heated because he has to stay clean, and … on a leash. He runs back to the country and jumps in a big mud puddle with a smile on his face. “Happy pigs make better pork.” Unfortunately, I don’t think we’ll be seeing any agricultural commercials anytime in the future. According to ESPN, the average cost of a 30-second commercial was $3.5 million this year. While the bookend states may think a couple million dollars for one commercial is worth the exposure, that’s more than our Midwest sensibilities will allow. Super Bowl commercials are still based on supply and demand. We may watch the football, but the coasters with the spending money watch the commercials. They demand, and the companies supply.

IOWA FARM & RANCH
FEBRUARY 2012
Conserve moisture with minimal tillage, take advantage of weather with early planting by Emma Kirk The mild 2011-2012 Iowa winter has enabled many farmers to get a head start on their spring fieldwork. Iowa State University Extension field agronomists from across the western half of the state shared their preplanting observations. Contributing to this month’s feature: John Holmes – With Extension since 1977, Holmes specializes in corn & soybean management, pest identification & management (weed, insects, plant disease, soybean cyst nematode), soil fertility and soil survey use. He serves counties in north central Iowa including Worth, Cerro Gordo, Humboldt, Wright, Franklin, Webster, Hamilton, and Hardin. Mark Licht – Serves central Iowa out of his Nevada office including Carroll, Guthrie, Greene, Dallas, Boone, Warren, Polk, Story, Marion, Jasper, and Marshall counties. His areas of expertise include conducting educational programs for agronomic resource management with emphasis in conservation and land use, manure nutrient management, soil and water quality, soil fertility, soil survey use, and crop production. Clarke McGrath – The Corn and Soybean Initiative
Partner Program Manager as well as an agronomist. McGrath works out of Harlan in Shelby County and has been with Extension since 2000. Aaron Saeugling – Works in southwest Iowa serving Pottawattamie, Cass, Adair, Madison, Mills, Montgomery, Adams, Union, Fremont, Page, Taylor, Ringgold, Shelby, Audubon, Clarke, and Decatur counties. Saeugling has his office at the Armstrong Research and Demonstration Farm, which was established by a donation of 40 acres and the sale of 360 acres to the foundation by Gail and Glendale Armstrong in 1993. The farm hosts soils and livestock research projects among other endeavors. Q. What spring tillage practices should farmers focus on this year? With the relatively unremarkable harvest last year and mild winter, to what extent is tillage completed or unnecessary? John Holmes: Remember that every tillage pass depletes about ¼-inch of moisture from the soil. Less will be more this year. I’d recommend expanding the use of no-till and strip-tillage to save moisture. Mark Licht: With the dry fall and mild winter, many

farmers got planned fall tillage done. Anhydrous ammonia, phosphorus, potassium and lime applications for the most part have been made except for individual cases where spring applications were desired. Needless to say, all planned fall field activities got done. Getting ready for spring planting may be as simple as a light field cultivation to level off chisel plowed fields. Or in some cases fertilizer applications where planting intentions have changed. At present, with drier than desired soils, it is recommended to minimize tillage activities in order to conserve topsoil moisture. Residue cover helps minimize evaporation and topsoil drying. Clarke McGrath: Every farmer and every field have a wide range of factors that determine what the “right” tillage for spring will be. In a perfect world, we would notill about everything so we could conserve moisture, time, fuel and soil. But as growers know, we don’t have a perfect environment in which to work. With all that said, there will likely be a little more tillage done this spring to address issues that growers have in a few fields. Most of the tillage that was going to happen got done last fall, but the extended time we have had for field work may allow a little more touch-up to hit high-

traffic areas or other spots that may have had some compaction issues. Aaron Saeugling: Farmers need to focus on normal tillage operation. If extremely dry conditions persist, minimize the amount of tillage operations to conserve moisture. Several farmers have taken advantage of the nice fall and did more fall tillage than normal here in southwest Iowa. Q. Are there particular seed or soil management techniques that will be important this spring? How does the potential deficit in soil moisture influence these decisions? Holmes: Farmers may want to reduce corn seeding rates slightly; use the lower end of recommended plant populations. I’d guess that farmers will plant slightly deeper than normal if surface soils are dry; don’t overdo-it! Plant corn no deeper than two inches. Soybeans should be planted no deeper than one and a half inches. Expect uneven stands if the surface soil is dry. Seed treatment with fungicides becomes less important under dry conditions. Licht: From the standpoint of drier soil conditions we are presently experiencing, minimizing tillage and maintaining residue cover could be a great benefit if this weather pattern persists into the growing season. In drier conditions, individuals often consider planting earlier adapted hybrids; this tends to be the wrong thing to do. Full-season hybrids and varieties tend to have a yield advantage. By switching to an earlier hybrid or reducing seeding rates the result is a loss in yield potential. Various crop models indicate that those tactics are only effective about 25 percent of the time. A couple things that could be of particular benefit if the moisture conditions remain low at planting are to ensure seed placement is at the two-inch soil depth and ensure row cleaners and down pressure springs provide uniform seeding depth across the field. These two things will help ensure uniform emergence. Drier conditions can make the consequences of uneven emergence more pronounced. McGrath: This is a big “if,” since we average more than nine inches of rain in April and May, but if it stays
IOWA FARM & RANCH
dry, we’ll want to take a look at a few things to help our crops have a better shot at a strong start. First, keep tillage to a minimum, since it can dry soils, particularly in the seed zone. Second, keep spring anhydrous ammonia application deep enough – around seven inches or deeper – to help limit fertilizer burn. Third, spray burndown and residual herbicides early enough to keep weed competition to a minimum. Last, be sure to plant crops on the deeper end of the recommended ranges to help reach moisture for germination. Fertilizer and seed treatments are managed about the same, since both are applied as part of an agronomic management package targeted at favorable yields. Herbicide programs and any post emergence disease management practices can be impacted by the weather, so good scouting as the crop progresses will help with those decisions. Saeugling: As always, proper seeding depth and seed to soil contact are critical to maximize yield. In low-soilmoisture conditions, managing residue will help conserve moisture in the spring. Shallow fertilizer placement in dry soil conditions may present some root pruning issues. Q. What weather factors coming out of the past winter are anticipated to most influence spring planting? What strategies can be used to work around challenges? Holmes: Farmers should watch weather patterns closely. If the weather pattern returns to an El Niña in March, expect more normal spring weather; if La Niña continues, expect drier than normal spring planting. Licht: I need to stress that there is time between now and the April 10th to recharge soil moisture to desired levels. At this point, I’m aware of drier conditions, but I won’t be concerned until the end of March as we get closer to planting. McGrath: This is always a tough call – if it stays dry, for the most part growers tell me they don’t plan on major acreage shifts from one crop to another, they will go ahead with the plans in place. If we end up with a wet spring that pushes some corn planting beyond mid-May, we can see a shift to more bean acres depending on how
PAGE 9A
late it gets. Saeugling: With dry conditions at the time of this writing (February 1), the ability to plant early and utilize limited tillage trips should help conserve moisture for later in the growing season. Q. Can you share recommendations for cost or time saving measures to consider for planting or preplanting planning? Holmes: I’m telling farmers to select soybean varieties with excellent soybean cyst nematode (SCN) resistance. SCN is a devastating problem in dry seasons. I am also telling farmers to consider using an early pre-plant weed control program to hedge against lack of rain. EPP programs apply herbicides very early – late March or early April – with hopes of catching a rain to activate the herbicide before weeds germinate. Pasture and hay producers need to think about contingency plans if the season is a dry one. Licht: The best recommendation I can give is to make sure to plant adapted hybrids/varieties. For the most part corn hybrids respond to the higher seeding rates and soybean varieties perform optimally at seeding rates between 125,000 and 140,000 seeds per acre. If drier conditions persist, soil-applied insecticides and seed treatments may be beneficial in controlling belowground pests that could prune roots. McGrath: With today’s equipment and ability to plant a lot of acres in a short time, there aren’t any real big secrets or tips. Having been a retail agronomy manager for nearly 10 years, my great insight is to have growers communicate with and work closely with their local supplier. This will help with product needs and shifts that may occur due to weather. In the event that we have a wet or late spring, dealers and growers can work together to source and manage fertilizers, seed and chemicals. Custom application also benefits from good communication between farmer and supplier. Saeugling: With weed control more of a challenge today, the utilization of pre-emergence or pre-planting applications will be important in effectively controlling weeds.

More than 3,300 acres auctioned for cash rent Average winning bid $485 an acre by Gordon Wolf Multiple cash rent auctions involving 3,350 acres of productive, privately-owned farm land in central Iowa February 1 through 4 has brought attention to this method of setting lease prices. Allan Hughes, the auctioneer for the 3,350 acres of farm land owned by Charles E. Lakin II, believes cash rent auctions could become more of a trend but it is all, of course, based on the market. Allan Hughes owns Al Hughes Auction Service, and his father, Jim Hughes, owns Jim Hughes Real Estate, in Glenwood. “In this situation, the Lakins were trying to negotiate 3,350 acres in 24 tracts. The auction way was a pretty clean way for them to handle things,” he stated. He continued, “My opinion is that, for the landowner, the auction way takes away the stress of selecting

a tenant. It also provides the potential for the land to reach fair market rent value.” Hughes stated that cash rents are being driven by the land values, and the commodity market seems to be the driving force behind land values. “It’s kind of a train,” he commented. He said his auction company had conducted five to 10 cash rent auctions prior to the auctions involving Lakin’s land. Hughes explained the leases for the Lakin land were structured to require good husbandry of the land. “The leases basically dictated how the tenants are to take care of the land,” he stated. Along with the requirements of the lease, representatives of the Lakin family conducted short postauction interviews with the successful bidders to verify that they will take good care of the land. At the February 4 auction at the Clarion Inn in Mason City, 300 to 400 individuals were in the room but only 100 registered for bid numbers, Hughes stated. The rest were local bankers, landlords, seed corn salesmen, crop insurance agents and others interested in the auction. He described the bidding climate as “active.” Hughes said the average bid on the 3,350 acres was $485 per acre. One tract, with a lower corn suitability rating, went for $325 an acre. The rest of the winning bids ranged from $400 to $530 per acre. He said the Lakin family members seemed satisfied with the results. Hughes pointed out that the Lakin family, which is involved in business enterprises, has used its money

to benefit others. In 2005, Charles E. Lakin II, along with his family, gave the Council Bluffs community a $10 million gift to help fund the construction of a $24 million human services campus. The Lakin family also helped sponsor a Central Iowa Honor Flight which transported World War II veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit the war memorials there and helped commission the production of a DVD, “None Less Than Heroes – The Honor Flight Story”. The proceeds from the DVD sales benefit the Central Iowa Honor Flight Fund to support future flights to Washington, D.C. Cash rent auctions put a spin on the usual process of pairing a landlord with a tenant, Hughes commented. It gives the tenant a chance to pick the landlord. He added, “It’s a good way for people to pick up land. There won’t be many more chances to pick up land for the 2012 crop year.” “With the cash rent auction, everything is out in the open,” Hughes continued. “It doesn’t necessarily take the tenant off the land. It still gives the tenant the opportunity to come to the auction and rent the land.” He explained, “Many times the existing tenant has proven yield on the farm and will typically be in a position to bid more than a new tenant, if they choose.” Bidding for cash rents is not a new concept, but more often the process has involved sealed bids. “Basically what we’re doing is publishing the bidding a little bit more and are pulling in bidders not only right from the area but also from a few miles away,” Hughes stated.

More cash rent auctions may be on the horizon Production costs, revenues justify land values by Gordon Wolf Cash rent auctions that took place last week in north central Iowa may have people wondering if a trend is developing. Dr. Michael Duffy, Iowa State University Extension economist, believes more auctions of cash rents will take place. “I was in Burlington last night (February 7) giving a talk about land values and this topic came up,” he stated. “I think a big part of it is almost like the land for sale – it is such an uncertain market. We will see more of these auctions.” Duffy believes some people who own farm land as rental property may choose cash rent auctions as a way to set the price. Setting cash rent prices by auction is a result of commodity prices driving land prices, and land values, in turn, driving the rent.
“People are uncertain where we’re going to end up,” he stated. “But when you look at one of the measurements, the ratio of rent divided by the value of land is the lowest it’s ever been.” One of Dr. Duffy’s jobs is to estimate the cost of production of corn, beans and hay, in addition to oats; figuring in cash rent values is a part of that estimate. “I look at three different yield levels and look at all the costs. One factor I use is a cash-rent equivalent; the idea is that even if a producer owns the land, he or she could rent it,” he stated. “I try to estimate ahead to give people an idea of the cost of production. The estimate I put out in late December for 2012 reflected a 20 percent increase in cash rent prices.” Duffy commented that some people have responded that his estimate is too high, while others have said the estimate is not high enough. But cash rents are driven by the income, he pointed out. The ultimate question is what will happen to farm income in the future. “Last night (in Burlington) people were asking if land is in a speculative bubble. But right now it’s solid – the income is there. But in the future, who knows?” Duffy said many factors enter into the forecast for farm income, among them economic, political and weather conditions around the globe. “Right now the United States exports approximately one-third of all ag production. Take that and couple it with corn going to ethanol, and you have a big chunk of
the demand,” Dr. Duffy stated. In studying farm profits over the past 50 years, 1973 was a boom year and 1981 was a bust year, he stated. “I was telling people in Burlington that I’m not some foolish optimist who believes this will continue forever. I worked with some of those people (in the 1980s),” he stated. But Dr. Duffy agreed, unlike the 1980s, farmers today are not leveraging their equity to purchase more land. He added other factors that differentiate today’s farming environment from that experienced in the 1980s are the overall inflation rate is low and interest rates are at an historic low.

Le Mars pork producer new president of IPPA
A frosty morning Frost clings to the structure of an old corn crib, a fence and grass along a country road in western Iowa on February 6. After the fog burned off in the morning, the contrast between a brilliant blue sky and the white frost created some impressive scenery. Photo by Bruce A. Binning
Purebred swine council selects top producer for 2011 The Iowa Purebred Swine Council named Robert Behnkendorf, Algona, as its Master Seedstock Award winner for 2011. He received the award at the 40th annual Iowa Pork Congress banquet in Des Moines on January 26. Behnkendorf has raised purebred swine for 35 years
under a variety of arrangements. He and his brother, Dennis, operated the original Behnkendorf Brothers herd from 1962 until 1967. Dispersal was required due to completion of college and military obligations. In 1982, Bob guided his sons into production of the Spots breed. They expanded

Bill Tentinger of Le Mars in Plymouth County was installed as the 2012 president of the Iowa Pork Producers Association at the conclusion of the IPPA annual meeting in Des Moines. Tentinger believes the industry’s most pressing challenge as he begins his presidency is maintaining the right to operate. “It is becoming increasingly more important for the pork industry to be open and vocal about what we do,” he said. “We need to not only tell the story about feeding the world and producing a safe product, but also that we can be good to the environment while we provide jobs for our communities.” One of Tentinger’s biggest concerns as a producer is increased government regulation. He hopes that 2012 will mean continued profitability for the industry and he’d like to see progress made toward managing or eradicating Porcine Reproductive and
Bill Tentiger
Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) from the herd. Tentinger is a long-time IPPA member and has served on the board for the past seven years, chairing and serving on numerous committees as well. He says the thought of now being the president of the state association is both exciting and sobering. “First of all, it is exciting to know that I am following in the footsteps of some of the most dedicated leaders in the pork industry in Iowa,” Tentinger said. “Secondly, it’s excit-
ing to be able to be a spokesman for and lead a very important segment of the rural economy of Iowa. It is sobering to realize that I am at the realm of an organization that is so well organized and staffed with great professionals.” His goals for the coming year are to “continue to have a board of directors that can work together, discuss issues brought before it and find common ground to better serve the pork industry in Iowa.” Tentinger has farmed and raised hogs in northwest Iowa for 43 years. He has 350 sows that produce 7,200 pigs each year. He also purchases an additional 3,000 iso pigs that he finishes to increase his total number marketed annually to 10,000. He also grows corn and soybeans and is a member of the state corn and soybean associations, as well as Farm Bureau. Tentinger succeeds Leon Sheets, a pork producer from Ionia in Chickasaw County, as IPPA president.

Iowa Pork Producers announce 2011 Master Pork Producer class Winners nominated by peers and neighbors The Iowa Pork Producers Association announced the 2011 class of Master Pork Producers on January 26. Nine new Master Pork Producers were recognized by their peers for excellence in pork production at the 2012 Iowa Pork Congress Banquet in Des Moines. Each producer was presented with the coveted brass belt buckle, emblematic of the award, and a certificate of achievement. All the award winners were nominated by their peers and neighbors and were recognized for their expertise in their segments of the production cycle and understanding of current industry issues, quality assurance, animal identification and well-being and their production efficiency. The 2011 Master Pork Producers are: Bernard and David Arnts, Alta, Buena Vista County
Randy and Deb Cooklin, Jefferson, Greene County Steve and LaVonne Flygstad, Ellsworth, Hamilton County David and Kim Friese, Washington, Washington County Ben and Janelle Johnson, Ireton, Plymouth County Joel and Faye Kooima, Rock Valley, Sioux County Dallas Muhlenbruch, Dows, Franklin County Tom Nicolaus, Whittemore, Kossuth County Allen Whiley, Iowa Falls, Hardin County The considerable diversity and specialization in pork production is evident in Iowa’s current 2011 class of Master Pork Producers. The majority of hog farming is still done primarily by farm families and the production diversity helps maintain the strength of the Iowa pork industry and enables Iowa producers to compete successfully in the domestic and international commodity and specialty markets. The Iowa Pork Producers Association and Iowa State University co-sponsor the Master Pork Producer program, which began in 1942, to demonstrate the character and breadth of Iowa pork production.

Restored tractor has memorable history by Bev Schwindt, Norfolk Daily News Members of the Cornhusker TwoCylinder Club displayed more than 30 John Deere tractors and other equipment over the weekend of January 28 and 29 at the Sunset Plaza in Norfolk, Nebraska. Among the green machines was a 1943 John Deere B restored by Mike Kroeger of Norfolk, under the guidance of Wayne Hansen and Gordie Kotrous. Hansen and his son, Dallas, also painted the tractor for Kroeger. Both Kroeger and Hansen are members of the two-cylinder club. Kroeger can remember when he was five and his grandfather, Albert Hofer Jr. of Brunswick, Nebraska, would take him to the orchard where the rusting "B" sat. There, the young Kroeger could play on it.
He remembered in his several trips that he couldn't understand why his grandfather wouldn't make the tractor go as he knew even then that his grandfather could fix about anything. Kroeger said it wasn't particularly John Deeres that he was interested in, just tractors in general. He looked forward to the days that he could ride and later drive those tractors. Later, Kroeger had his own children. His oldest son, Nathan, said "tractor" as his first word. Flash forward 25 years and Kroeger began mulling over a crazy thought. "Why not restore that tractor?" He knew the history of the tractor, that his mom, Bonnie (Hofer) Kroeger of Norfolk, and his three aunts had each taken turns driving the tractor as the "farm help" of the family. His first thought was to restore it
without his mother knowing. He borrowed a trailer, hauled it home and then to Hansen's shed to try to keep the secret. His mom knew something was up and he had to "fess up." Kroeger faced many challenges, such as bolts breaking and having to be drilled and tapped out. His uncle, Konrad Hofer of Brunswick, had informed him the tractor had been under water at least twice. Also, some of these tractors during the war times were built with inferior materials that rusted out. Kroeger said he has about $5,000 in new parts and tires. He began the project to surprise his mother, and he knew it would make his mom and her sisters cry emotional tears - not necessarily tears of joy, just tears of years gone by. Kroeger and Hansen were putting the
decals on the tractor the morning of the Creighton Berry Pepper parade. The tractor looked good, far better than it ever had. He had one more thing to do before the parade. He drove to the Brunswick cemetery, where his grandpa was buried. There he spun the flywheel and let that "B" sing out that "put," "put" "put." "I knew grandpa was smiling and remembering the days when I just wanted to drive that tractor," Kroeger said. There also were tears that day when he and his sons, Nathan and Nicholas, drove through the Creighton parade, as well as tears from his mom and aunts. He also drives his "B" in Norfolk and Creighton parades and shows with the Cornhusker Two-Cylinder Club. Hmmm. . . . maybe you can go home again.

by Emma Kirk The Governor’s assistant remembered the dog’s names from Terry Branstad’s visit to Crawford County in November for the annual Iowa Governor’s Pheasant Hunt, hosted by Pheasants Forever – Gunner and Lady – and inquired after them during a recent visit by KR Buck to the Iowa Capitol. “That’s the fun part,” Buck said, “and seeing the dogs with the kids.” Buck lent his dogs to the event - they flushed and retrieved birds for the day - and he guided the Governor’s pheasant hunting party. KR and wife Karla got their first lab, a chocolate colored male named Zach, in 1983. The couple was en-
February 2012
gaged to be married and had just secured an acreage near Carroll. KR, always an avid outdoorsman, had a shorthair named Magnum who succumbed to unfortunate circumstances shortly after the move. “My first bird dog when I was 10 or 12 was a Brittney. I’ve always bought a dog first as a hunting dog,” KR commented. He wanted a hunting dog and so the pair went together to Pella to pick Zach out of a litter that had been advertised in the Sunday paper. “I still remember the guy wanted $125 in 1983 (for the puppy) and he had two or three left from the litter,” KR said.

Wetlands Reserve Program applications due February 17 USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) announced February 17 as the next cutoff date to submit applications through the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) for Iowa landowners interested in restoring agricultural land to natural wetlands. WRP is a voluntary program that provides technical and financial assistance to eligible private landowners and Tribes to restore, protect, and enhance wetlands in exchange for retiring eligible land from agriculture. WRP is a continuous signup program, although NRCS periodically makes funding selections as program funding allows. February 17 is the second cutoff date for fiscal year 2012 funding. During fiscal year 2011, NRCS enrolled easements on more than 4,000 acres across Iowa at a value exceeding $15 million. Over the past 20 years, more than 156,000 acres have been restored or are in the process of being restored to wetlands in Iowa through WRP and similar federal programs. This fiscal year, NRCS in Iowa is setting aside 10 percent of its WRP allocation for beginning farmers, socially disadvantaged farmers, and limited resource producers. “We are committed to improving service to private landowners and enhancing outreach to historically underserved landowners,” said Monica Monk, easement program coordinator for NRCS in Iowa. Wetlands provide habitat for wildlife, including threatened and endangered species; improve water quality by filtering sediments and chemicals; reduce flooding; recharge groundwater; protect biological diversity; and provide opportunities for educational, scientific, and limited recreational activities. To apply or to find out more about WRP eligibility and enrollment options, visit your local USDA Service Center or go online to www.ia.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/WRP.html.

Soybean Association and ISU Extension publish Field Crop Insects The Iowa Soybean Association (ISA) and Iowa State University (ISU) Extension and Outreach have released a collaborative publication, Field Crop Insects, the latest in a series of practical and valuable reference tools for farmers. “Correct recognition and identification of insect pests is an important first step to making a proper management decision regarding any insects found in soybeans and corn,” said Erin Hodgson, ISU Extension entomologist and one of the publication’s authors. “Field Crop Insects is a comprehensive publication for farmers and ag professionals in a format they can easily use. In addition to help with identification, it provides useful information about sampling and treatment thresholds.” The 74-page publication is filled with vivid, full-color images and descriptions of insect pests and the damage they cause to soybeans and corn. Management options are provided as well as web addresses for access to more detailed insect control recommendations. David Wright, ISA director of contract research and
strategic initiatives, said, “Insect pests are becoming more prevalent in Iowa as environmental conditions and cropping systems change. Minimizing yield loss from insects is essential for sustainable and profitable soybean and corn production. The imagery in this publication is incredibly detailed so it is easy to accurately identify problem pests. This resource is a great tool to have in the pickup, tractor or home office.” The Iowa Soybean Association through the soybean checkoff and Iowa State University Extension and Outreach provided funding for printing and distribution of the publication. Printed copies of Field Crop Insects can be obtained by contacting the Iowa Soybean Association at (800) 3831423; they can also be ordered from the ISU Extension Online Store at http://store.extension.iastate.edu or by calling (515) 294-5247 and requesting publication CSI 0014.

ARE YOU PREPARED FOR $1000 NH3 AND $5 CORN? Is your legacy application system wasting your NH3 dollars?— Please read on Ever think what would happen if you put a different amount of nitrogen on each row? Some rows would not get enough and would yield poorly. Some would get so much that not all could be used; so part would be wasted.
It’s great that you don’t have that problem!
Or do you? A decade ago Mark Hanna at Iowa State proved that legacy manifolds have poor rowto-row distribution. Then, he was instrumental in the invention of the Impellicone manifold- which has proven to give excellent distribution. decade ago aNH3.Company learned that heat exchangers have “wild card” coolant lines with extreme diversions of ammonia flow to an individual row (or maybe two). Then, they invented the basic Equaply system which avoids the coolant line wilderness. A
Some simple math gives the following picture. Say that you apply 200# of N per acre on 1000 acres with a 12 row toolbar at 5 mph. $850 per ton for NH3, seems current, let’s use that price. Let’s pick 10% as the total amount of ammonia over-applied in the “good” rows, probably conservative. The coolant line for most heat exchangers currently in use typically passes 2 to 3 gpm of ammonia; we’ll pick 2 gpm. Put all this together and you get a total cost of anhydrous of about $103,200. Of this, you lost 24% or $24,700 due to poor manifold design and excessive coolant flow.

2012 Iowa Pork regional conferences slated for March 6-9 The Iowa Pork Producers Association has teamed up with the Iowa Pork Industry Center and Iowa State University Extension and Outreach swine specialists to host regional conferences at four Iowa locations March 6 through 9. “IPPA works hard to offer educational sessions that can assist producers in their day-to-day decision making,” said Tyler Bettin, IPPA producer education director. “We encourage anyone with a genuine interest in pork production to attend these conferences.” All sessions are hosted from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Conference dates and locations are as follows: Tuesday, March 6 – Carroll, Carroll County Extension Office Wednesday, March 7 – Sheldon, Northwest Iowa Community College, Building A, room 119 Thursday, March 8 – Nashua, Borlaug Learning Center Friday, March 9 – Iowa City, Johnson County Extension Office Conferences are free for those who pre-register or $5
at the door. Individuals can pre-register by calling IPPA at (800) 372-7675 or sending an e-mail to schristensen@iowapork.org. With the regulatory realm for agriculture constantly changing, it is critical for pork producers to stay well informed of compliance issues. Eldon McAfee, attorney for IPPA, will discuss practical aspects of compliance with state and federal regulations, provide an update of resent livestock nuisance cases and preface current regulatory rumblings at the state and federal level. It is critical for all in pork production to have a good understanding of contracts and liens to provide protection of their business. McAfee also will review contract terms, focusing on practical implication for both feeders and hog owners. He will discuss recent and pending court decisions and the implications these decisions pose for feed dealers, lenders, veterinarians and pork producers. Finally, he will explain the federal livestock contract requirements and what is required for compliance to prevent penalties against hog owners for failing to have required disclosures in contracts with contract feed-
ers. If you missed Eldon’s highly rated sessions at the 2012 Iowa Pork Congress, then this is your chance to catch up. Swine dysentery is an expensive and damaging disease that has re-emerged in the Midwest. Dr. Eric Burrough and Dr. Rodger Main will split duties at this year’s regional conferences to talk about the history and impact of the disease. They will provide information to help producers identify signs of dysentery and highlight strategies for prevention and elimination. Detailed production records are increasingly important in today’s pork industry to benchmark performance, improve efficiencies and modify practices. ISU Extension swine specialists will review how to keep adequate weanto-finish records, show where errors typically occur and provide actual examples of good records, gone bad. ISU swine specialists also will offer free PQA Plus training prior to each conference. Training will be hosted from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at each conference location. Contact Tyler Bettin at 800-372-7675 or tbettin@iowapork.org for more information or to pre-register.

HUNTING DOGS, from Page 1B “He was a really good dog.” Zach became the first in a family of hunting dogs for the Bucks. KR and Karla call the kennel Bucks Lucky Labs. Some of the best performing hunting dogs belong to the lineage of Gunner, a black lab, now in his prime. The Bucks also have Gunner’s mother – Star – from whom they have been fortunate to have several litters of puppies, as well as from Gunner’s daughter. Gunner’s dad, named Tar, was the first dog with which the Bucks endeavored to use artificial insemination. Breeding dogs is not new to the Bucks though. KR related that his dad raised coon dogs and coyote hounds and his grandfather raised coon dogs.
KR Buck, of Denison, breeds, raises, and hunts with Labradors. Tar, one of the patriarchs in the Bucks Lucky Labs lineage, had semen collected at Iowa State University Veterinary School three times in 2000. One of his offspring, Gunner, participated in the Governor’s Pheasant Hunt in Crawford County in 2011. Photo submitted
KR described Tar as “just an all around good dog; the kids rode him around like a horse.” In 2000 they learned he had cancer. With guidance from Dr. Kevin McKeown, Lincoln Highway Animal Hospital in Denison, the Bucks took Tar to Iowa State to have semen collected and preserved. Star was later inseminated with the preserved semen and Gunner was one of the puppies in her litter. Without that extra effort “we would have lost a generation,” KR said. The veterinarian also delivered a particularly large litter of puppies by cesarean; the dam had 14 puppies. Since the mother did not bond normally with the pups due to the surgical delivery, KR and Karla bottle fed the puppies and saved 12. The Bucks compared raising dogs to milking cows – “you

All About Labs
Benny, a six week old black lab, is from KR and Karla Buck’s kennel, Bucks Lucky Labs. KR said he tries to place pups with families where they will be pets that are hunting dogs. Even at this young age, Benny is learning to play with a hunting decoy. Photo submitted
dogs do not have to be out actually hunting, but do at least have them complete some exercises. “People need to realize when they’re buying a puppy it’s a 10 to 12 year investment at least,” he stated. “Go back and ask for references…make sure you are buying a dog from a background of what you want it to do. Ask questions.” On the cover: KR and Karla Buck, rural Denison, enjoy a late winter evening with dogs Gunner and Star. Bucks Lucky Labs has produced a predictable lineage of intelligent, motivated hunting dogs that are also devoted pets.
According to the American Kennel Club, a national registry for purebred dogs, the Labrador retriever is one of the most popular dog breeds in the United States. In addition to serving as hunting dogs, labs are prized as guide dogs for the blind, trained as part of search-and-rescue teams or in narcotics detection with law enforcement. The AKC shared that the sporting breed’s history can be traced to Newfoundland where the Labradors were initially bred to help fishermen pull in nets and catch fish. The dog was then crossed with other recognizable sporting breeds such as the Setter, Spaniel, and other retrievers to become the efficient game hunting dog of today. The AKC first recognized the breed in 1917. Recognizable characteristics of the Labrador retriever begin with its coat. Labs come in three colors: yellow, black and chocolate. Yellow labs, the AKC breed standard explains, “may range in color from fox-red to light cream, with variations in shading on the ears, back, and underparts of the dog.” The coat is short, dense and composed of two layers, which cause it to be water and weather resistant with proper regular grooming. Also concerning color, the nose of a black and yellow lab should be black, while the nose on a chocolate lab should be brown. Likewise, eye color in black and yellow labs tends to be darker shades of brown, while chocolate labs may have lighter brown or hazel eyes. The AKC describes a Labrador retriever as a “strongly built, medium-sized, short-coupled dog possessing a sound, athletic, (with) well-balanced conformation that enables it to function as a retrieving gun dog.” Another distinguishing characteristic of the breed is an “otter” tail that should be “thick at the base, gradually tapering toward the tip, (and) of medium length.” Just as important as the color and conformation of a lab is its temperament. The ideal disposition is described as “one of a kindly, outgoing, tractable nature; eager to please and non-aggressive towards man or animal.”

have to be with them all the time,” KR said. The couple exercises the dogs three times per day, every day. The dogs are not bred until they are at least three years old and have been screened for hip dysplasia. “We will never breed a female unless first she is a hunting dog,” he insisted. Then, KR added, a female only has two to three litters in her lifetime. Usually only one litter per year or 18 months comes from Bucks Lucky Labs. “When we sell puppies we always try to place them in a hunting home, although there’s a few that have just gone as pets,” he continued. “I try and keep track of the puppies, too (after they are sold).” Dogs have gone to homes as far away as California and North Carolina as well as throughout the Midwest. To ease the transfer of puppies to their new homes, Karla has seen and recommends families bring blankets along. “They take it (the blanket) and rub the mother and bring it along for the puppy so it has that scent,” she said. “I wish I would have taken pictures of all the people that have gotten puppies,” Karla added. Along with seeing people add a new puppy to their family, getting to hear from them through the years – cards and letters – “That’s the fun part,” KR stated. “And it’s fun to have good hunting dogs.” As far as the genetics and selection for traits such as behavior and intelligence, KR said, “You can breed things out of dogs, out of horses, out of sheep, out of cattle, but there’s some basic genetics that if you continue to be selective some of those traits will carry on. Labs in general tend to be more common sense, calmer; they’re disciplined.” KR sends the dogs he keeps for hunting to a professional trainer at about six months of age. The training process, he said, can take anywhere from three months to two years. “They teach everything from basic obedience through the handling drills like blind retrieves and retrieving the bird to hand,” KR explained. The Bucks’ son Casey also guides pheasant hunts in South Dakota and works the dogs there. From their nearly three decades of experience breeding, raising and hunting dogs, the Bucks shared some advice on selecting a puppy. KR said to look at the health of the puppy – particularly clearances for hip dysplasia and that their dew claws have been removed so they do not cause problems in the field. “If it’s a hunting dog, make sure you see both the parents, not just in person but in the field,” KR added.

Shenandoah bioprocess plant by Tess Gruber Nelson, The Shenandoah Valley News Shenandoah's BioProcess Algae LLC and Green Plains Renewable Energy (GPRE) broke ground February 1 on the construction of its five-acre production plant, located at GPRE in Shenandoah. The project's Grower Harvester bioreactors, or ponds, have been effectively running outdoors since late August 2011. The groundbreaking marked the third phase in the project to commercialize algae for feed and highvalue nutraceutical markets. Phase one of algae production launched in October 2009. "The incredible success of this project, from its conception in 2008, to this groundbreaking today, is a result of a combination of great partnerships, great science, great engineering and great leadership," remarked Shenandoah Chamber and Industry Executive Director Gregg Connell. "Moving forward into the five-acre production facility, we have successfully brought algae directly into the sunlight to increase growth rates," said Tim Burns, chief executive officer of BioProcess Algae. "Our vision is to build strategic partnerships with major companies in food, animal feed and pharmaceutical industries around the world." Burns added he could not have a better host community than Shenandoah. "Things work because we have good partnerships," said Burns. "I can not say enough about the people and the community of Shenandoah." Seth Riggs, a process engineer with Bioprocess Algae, explained algae needs two things to grow: sunlight and carbon dioxide. "Normally algae grow in a pool of water. When you get a thick growth of algae, then sunlight is blocked from above, so the algae underneath doesn't grow as well," explained Riggs. However, inside the ponds are circular cartridges to which algae stick. To help with its growth, the cartridges rotate, which provides them with all the sunlight they

need, Riggs said. However, algae also need moisture. "We use different methods right now to keep them wet. They can rotate through a bed of water underneath, and we have an irrigation system overhead that sprays down from up top." GPRE is a partner in this endeavor because it produces ethanol, and a product of fermented corn to produce ethanol is carbon dioxide. Instead of carbon dioxide being released into the air from GPRE, it is instead pumped into the ponds, which
helps the algae grow. "When corn ferments, one-third is ethanol, one-third is distillers grains, and one-third is carbon dioxide." In order to remove the algae from the cartridges, Riggs said it's either sprayed off or the cartridges are rotated at a faster speed so it pitches off. The ponds currently used in phase two are 12 feet wide and 80 feet long. However, the majority of the ponds that will be used in phase three will be 40 feet wide by 400 feet long, Riggs said.
