The dynamics of food production Iowa Land Investment Expo explores factors

by Emma Struve Expert presenters at the Iowa Land Investment Expo looked to the future to predict the weather, to fathom the depths of complicated geopolitical situations influencing international food security, to probe legislators at multiple levels about the future of taxation, even to most efficiently manage capital in competitive markets and for investment. Investors attending the January 21 event at the West Des Moines Sheraton, in turn, looked to the diverse group of individuals plucked from academia, the financial industry, commodity groups, legal consultancy firms and real estate to answer a simple question: how can I make money?

The reality of investing in agricultural land in Iowa is that the profitability of the investment can be influenced by the weather here or in South America, Australia, or Eastern Europe; the ability to transfer the investment to the next generation with equitable inheritance provisions, or to operate within state laws mandating business characteristics for ownership, usage and leasing of ag land; and reasonably responsive commodity markets. Following are just a few of the nearly 20 presentation offered during the 2011 Iowa Land With snow and ice covering Iowa’s farm ground, Investment Expo. winter provides an ideal time for farmers to contemplate factors that impact food production, including weather and land prices. These topics Continued on Page 11 and others were analyzed at the Iowa Land Investment Expo. Photo by Bruce A. Binning

RECORD LAND SALE: Land near Harlan sells for $8,900 an acre Randy Pryor said over his 35 years of selling land, farmers often comment they pay too much for their land, but the opposite is true. Today all those same farms appear to be a great buy. According to ISU Extension, the highest average farmland value in 2010 was in O'Brien County at $7,148 in northwest Iowa (county seat is Primghar), statewide the average is $5,064. Randy Pryor Real Estate and Auction Co. released closing sale information noting 154.4 taxable acres sold at $8,900 per acre for total of $1,374,160; which was $9,100 per crop acres and $141 per CSR point per tillable acre. The sale of the Shelby County land broke Pryor's personal land sale record of $7,300 in Buena Vista County in 2010.

Iowa corn and soybean farmers launch CommonGround In a uniquely mom-driven campaign, farm women from across the country are talking to other women about food production, food safety and farm life. Iowa is a pilot state for CommonGround, a joint project of the National Corn Growers Association and the United Soybean Board that showcases what farm families and the consumers of the food they grow have in common. The Iowa Corn Growers Association and Iowa Soybean Association are working together to coordinate the pilot project. Iowa’s three volunteer spokeswomen are Suzanne Shirbroun from northeast Iowa, Jill Vander Veen of northwest Iowa and Sara Ross of southwest Iowa.

The Iowa outreach effort officially launched Saturday, February 5, at West Lakes Hy-Vee in West Des Moines. The farm women talked to shoppers and answered questions about today’s food production. “We were asked very diverse questions by shoppers during our launch, and I’m impressed by the knowledge consumers have about their food, and their willingness to take a few moments from their day to ask questions,� said Shirbroun. Each of Iowa’s spokeswomen will develop their own outreach program in their area of the state that will include social media, grocery store promotions, speaking to civic organizations and other events.

“The goal of the program is to share that, thanks to today’s American farmers like us, consumers enjoy the safest, healthiest and most affordable food choices in the world,� said Vander Veen. "Information is reaching the consumer, but it’s not always the whole story and farmers are concerned about that,� stated Ross. "We’re not out to change anyone’s mind about the food they eat, but we do want consumers to know the food we grow is safe." The other pilot states are Nebraska, South Dakota, Kentucky and Indiana. For more information about Iowa’s CommonGround project, visit http://findourcommonground.com/.

Iowa Pork Congress speaker discusses genomics Dr. Max Rothschild, with the Department of Animal Science at Iowa State University, presented a research-based discussion of genetics and genomics. Dr. Rothschild has been integrally involved in mapping the swine genome and determining economic uses for the genetic information unlocked.

Iowa State student from Greene County crowned 2011 Iowa Pork Queen The Iowa Pork Producers Association (IPPA) selected an Iowa State University (ISU) student as the 2011 Iowa Pork Queen. The Iowa Pork Queen, Iowa Pork Princess and Iowa Premier Pork Youth Ambassador were announced Wednesday night, January 26, at the 39th annual Iowa Pork Congress Banquet in Des Moines. Iowa Pork Queen Cheyenne McNichols is the daughter of Mike McNichols and Shawneene Kenan from Rippey in Greene County. McNichols is majoring in agriculture education at ISU with emphasis on obtaining teacher certification. She is minoring in animal science and also working

toward certification in Swine Science Online, a joint ISU and IPPA program. The 2011 Iowa Pork Princess is Chelsey Branderhorst of Prairie City in Jasper County.

Vacations and veterans A few weeks ago, my husband and I took our son on a vacation to Washington, D.C. Before I go any further, I would like to clarify that I do know farmers are supposed to take winter vacations to warm venues such as Florida, Hawaii, California and even Mexico. However, D.C. was one of the few places I could take the almost teen son and feel good about pulling him out of school for a few days because the trip would be educational. I had been to D.C. when I was in high school for a citizenship trip with the 4-H program, but this was my husband’s and son’s first time there. Now, the main argument leading up to the trip was how to get from the airport to the hotel. My husband and son were firmly in the Metro camp – the Metro is the subway in D.C. While I really didn’t mind riding the Metro, I didn’t want to do it with all of our baggage, so I argued for a cab. Luckily, a friend who lives in D.C. rode to my rescue and gave us a private tour of the D.C. area

and got us to the hotel. They were expecting snow, so we were treated with watching how our nation’s capital deals with an incoming blizzard – a forecast of 1 to 3 inches, that is. You’re going to love this. First, they load their highway trucks with the sand/ice mixture and have groups of three sit by the side of the interstate waiting for the snow to arrive so they can combat it immediately. I’m not kidding here, and I wish I would have taken a picture because we saw at least three groups of these trucks waiting on the interstate around D.C. Second, and this may be the best, they coat their streets with salt BEFORE the snow starts. The ratio must have been 1 inch of salt to every 2 inches of forecast snow, because the roads looked green from the colored coating. My husband called it Astroturf. The snow came, a measly inch or so, but none of it stayed on the streets. My friend said that town shuts down at a few inches of snow because they

don’t know how to handle it. I wonder how much money is lost pre-coating the streets with salt. The next day we began our travels riding the Metro. I must be a bit jaded because for me it was as simple as buying the ticket, going through the gate and getting on the train. My husband was amazed at the technology used to carve out the tunnels and build the system. Every time we descended into the Metro’s maze, my son and I were treated with my husband’s speeches on how much of a modern wonder it was to him. We were able to see so many monuments, museums, and memorials on our trip, most of them on our last day as we walked from the Lincoln Memorial to the W a s h i n g t o n Monument then to the White House. Before that, we had visited Ford’s Theatre, where President Lincoln was assassinated. My son and husband were able to see the gun that was used, and the pillow where President Lincoln’s head laid as he died

FARMER’S WIFE By Christy Welch hours later. They were able to experience history first hand, instead of reading it in a book. Later that day, I watched as they looked for a “Welch” in the books near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, wondering if the Welch they found from Iowa was a relative. I followed them as they looked at the names on the wall, finally finding the one they had discovered in the book. Later, we walked through the World War II Memorial, seeing all the stars

that each represented 100 men and women who died in the service of our country during that war. Walking towards the Washington Monument, we saw the bronze depictions of several scenes of that war, the most moving of which for me was the liberation of the concentration camps at the end of the war. We had walked through the Holocaust Museum earlier in the week, learning about the experiences of a boy named Daniel as he was sent first to a ghetto, then to a concentration camp. I wish each person in this nation was able to experience what we were blessed with during our time in D.C. Because, I know no one who, upon seeing what we had the privilege to visit that week, would still not support our men and women who each day put their lives in peril to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. Though we may all have different standards of dealing with life – and with snowstorms – we are all in this together.

4-H Camp financial aid available to youth The Iowa 4-H Foundation is offering financial assistance to potential 4-H campers. Financial aid applications are available to youth otherwise financially unable to attend a day or residential camp at the Iowa 4-H Center. The awards are open to all youth; applicants do not need to be 4-H club members to qualify. “Every young person should have the opportunity to attend a camp at the Iowa 4-H Center,” said Abbie Parker, Iowa 4-H Center program specialist, “Camp is a unique experience that teaches independence, enhances skills and provides youth with a caring adult role model. The

Iowa 4-H Foundation awards give us the opportunity to welcome youth that we might otherwise not be able to meet.” The application form is due March 1 and must include a written statement from the camper about why he or she wants to attend 4-H camp. A second statement from a parent, guardian, 4-H leader or Extension staff member must explain the financial circumstance of the family. A copy of the completed Camp Registration Form is required along with the financial assistance application and the two statements.

The Camp Registration Form includes prices for each camp session, payment information and camp discount possibilities. The original copy of this form must be sent with a deposit to the Iowa 4-H Center by April 1. Visit the 4-H Web site to view more information about summer camps or to print copies of the Financial Assistance Application and Camp Registration Form. The forms also are available at county ISU Extension offices. Financial awards will be announced by March 25, which provides a minimum of one week for families to send their camp registrations.

THE DYNAMICS OF FOOD PRODUCTION Continued from Page 1 Weather DTN Chief Meteorologist Bryce Anderson predicted that the La Nina weather pattern that began in June 2010 will likely persist into May of 2011. “We know weather is going to be very important all the way through the growing season,” Anderson stated. A La Nina pattern is established when the water temperature in the Pacific Ocean is cooler than normal and causes prevailing winds to draw moisture away from the western hemisphere into the eastern hemisphere. In parts of North and South America, besides Iowa, the effect has been to cause the southern United States to be dry and a decreased wheat harvest, Anderson remarked. In Brazil and Argentina, it hurt the corn crop but affected the soybean crop to a lesser extent. Another player in the weather is “blocking high pressure,” which Anderson called a “wild card.” Typically this type of pattern “shoves cooler temperatures further south” and “generates more active weather,” he remarked. In Iowa, the effect may be a potentially dry spring with the possibility for higher than normal temperatures. Specifically Anderson predicted slower soil warming than in 2010; possible wet weather issues north of Highway 20 in the northern third of Iowa, in Minnesota and the Dakotas; a transition zone from Highway 20 south; and areas west of Des Moines may experience dryness out of the western plains. Food security, land investment opportunities in Africa Susan Payne, CEO of Emergent Asset Management, a firm straddling two continents with offices in London and Monument Park, Pretoria, South Africa, spoke to the ongoing need to address food security. A solution proposed by her organization is to invest in the development of technologically competitive, ecologically and economically sound, as well as socially responsible farming ventures in Africa.

This is to be done in a sustainable fashion, Payne continued. She defined sustainability as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the future’s ability to meet their needs.” Payne highlighted geopolitical situations necessitating a re-evaluation of the emerging global agricultural economy: the evolution of power – moving from west to east – as China develops; climate change that may be responsible for desertification and increasing incidences of natural disasters; and another theory, which she called “Stages of Empire.” One of the primary tenets of Stages of Empire is that in developing and emerging nations such as those in Africa, Latin America and Asia, a bulk of the population is young and the population is growing quickly. For example in sub-Saharan Africa more than half the population is under the age of 18, in Latin America 50 percent is less than 25 years old, and in Asia the age is 30. Europe, Payne continued was in a stage of “legacy,” the United States in a stage of “over extension,” and China was in a stage of “ascent to empire.” A result of increasing populations in emerging nations is an increasing demand for and consumption of protein, both soy and meatbased, which has already been seen in China and is likely to be seen in India and Africa, she said. Land Jim Knuth, senior vice president of Farm Credit Services of America, reviewed the fourth quarter of 2010, which saw soaring land prices in Iowa and other grain-producing areas, and commodity prices also rose. Going forward he advised investors to know their land cost per acre, taking into account total debt service, rental agreements and, of course, the number of acres farmed. He reminded landowners that “an asset is worth the income it will generate” and asked them to recall the land value situation in the 1980s when rapidly rising asset values did not replay loans.

While short term moves of grain prices may seem to indicate a lack of stability, Knuth stated that they would likely normalize over time. A take-home kernel of knowledge Knuth offered the gathered crowd: “a two percent move in interest equals a $60 to $70 difference per acre in land cost.” He also shared the observations indicating that land is a solid investment, such as the fact that it does not wear out like machinery, it is relatively low maintenance as compared to a house, there is a low risk of fraud as compared to a business, and it is becoming internationally attractive. Soybeans CEO of the Iowa Soybean Association Kirk Leeds stated that while the domestic demand for soybeans has remained constant, since 2000 the U.S. soy production has increased steadily. A parallel price increase accompanied the increased production. So where are the beans going? They are being exported; 58 percent of soybeans produced are now exported whereas 46 percent were exported in 2000. Due to exports, “the value of the Iowa soy crop has doubled in the last decade,” Leeds said. He called the past 10 years the “Decade of Agriculture.” Leeds noted, “India’s population is one of the largest and is growing the fastest in the world.” The country has historically been a net exporter of soybean meal but with the population growth, the gap between production and demand is narrowing. This could be an emerging market for U.S. – and Iowa – product. A problem that will need to be addressed for the United States to remain competitive is the shipping infrastructure. “The challenge in the United States is that the port infrastructure will not be able to compete globally,” he remarked.

“Peace Through Corn” depicts dialogue between Khrushchev and Roswell Garst The Bluffs Arts Council will present a 50-minute one-act play written by Iowa playwright Cynthia Mercati commemorating the 50th anniversary of a meeting between Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev and Iowa farmer Roswell Garst. Half a century ago, America’s most feared and hated ideological enemy paid a house visit to his farmer friend Garst in Coon Rapids. “Peace through Corn” tells the story of the unlikely friendship between Khrushchev and Garst through a staged dialogue between the two men, based on actual language from their letters, memoirs and historic press coverage.

The performance shows the power of agriculture and citizen diplomacy to reach across ideological and cultural barriers and promote peace. The play will be performed at the Council Bluffs Public Library on Monday, February 28, at 7 p.m. The performance is produced by Creating Great Places and the content is suitable for all ages. Audience discussion will take place. There is no cost to attend but a freewill offering will be taken. For more information, please contact the Bluffs Arts Council at 712.328.4992.

“Peace Through Corn”, which depicts a dialogue between Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev and Iowa farmer Roswell Garst, will be performed February 28 in Council Bluffs. Above are the actors portraying Garst and Khrushchev. Photo submitted

Lean hog trade has been mixed this week due to continued chart buying and light profit taking by market longs. The weekly net change is $.40 lower on the April contract and June is up $.07. Cash trade is called steady to $.50 higher for the remainder of the week. The USDA adjusted demand items higher on Wednesday; they raised export expectations by 60 million pounds, which was mostly in response to the recent culling of Korean herds. Processing margins have declined recently, but the firm feed trade should support ideas of lower production moving forward. On the April chart we are strongly sideways and pricing in another $5-$7 rise in cash prices versus the current market. Nearby support is down at $89.32 which is the 20-day. Call with questions.

CATTLE 02/10/11 Live cattle trade has been lower this week due to long profit taking. The weekly net change is $1.75 lower on the April contract and June is down $1.35.. Packers are rumored to short-bought which could lead to higher cash prices the rest of the week. The bull trend appears tired on the chart, but the market is still holding a sideways to higher trend at this time. Cutout values were mixed on Wednesday with choice 5 lower at 169.77 and select was 1.48 higher at 168.81. The USDA adjusted the

beef supply and demand table on Wednesday which should continue to support trade; 2011 imports were lowered by 60 million pounds and 2011 exports were raised by 45 million. Cash trade should direct trade the rest of the week. Feeders should slip more if corn tests the upside any further. Hedgers call with questions.

Wheat trade was higher this past week due to supportive winter weather and expectations of improving global demand items. The weekly net change on the March is 33 higher on the March Chicago contract, KC is up 46, and Minneapolis is up 39 cents. Renewed discussion surrounding global quality issues has surfaced this week. Australia announced on Monday that 6.9 million tons of wheat out of the 18.21 million tons currently in storage does not meet milling grade standards. They also stated that exports since October are up 47% year on year. Japan announced early this week that they will be lowering protein specifications for their wheat tender by .3%. China also announced that they will grant a $1 billion boost to irrigation subsides this year in an attempt to fight current winter drought conditions. These facts reinforce the mentality surrounding the tight global wheat situation and should help limit downside. Market bears argue that this is priced-in that any fresh demand items stemming from the Egyptian scenario would be more significant. The USDA wheat numbers were neutral on Wednesday. The USDA wheat carryover was unchanged at 818 million bushels and the world carryover was down .22 to 177.77 million tons. The weekly export sales were reported at 391,300 tons for the 10/11 year and 11/12 sales came in at 116,000 tons. Combined, this was toward the low side of expectations. Hedgers call with questions.

Corn trade has been higher this week due to chart buying and a supportive USDA report. The weekly net change is 20 higher on the March contract and December is up 13. China returned from their New Year celebrations this week; they also announced on Monday that they had raised bank lending rates by .25%. This created some early weakness, but position squaring ahead of the USDA report was noted for increased volatility. As a review, the USDA reported the 2010-11 carryover at 675 million bushels versus an average trade guess of 736 and down from the 745 million January number. The main usage increase was a 50 million bump in ethanol usage. The USDA lowered Argentine corn production bringing the world carryover down to 122.51 million tons versus 127 million last month. There was over a 2 million ton drop in the carry-in stocks due to a revised Brazilian number. The USDA will hold their annual outlook meeting later this month, so we will get our first acre estimates at that time; this should promote active mixed trade nearby. I believe the market now will find a new range; based on the USDA data we have not rationed usage yet. We are due for a correction, but expect good buying on breaks without evidence of demand rationing. The March contract 20-day moving average is at $6.58. The weekly export sales were reported at 1.1.107 million tons for the 10/11 year and 11/12 sales came in at 104,500 tons. Combined, they were above expectations. Hedgers call with questions.

Soybean trade has been higher this week due to continued fund buying and spillover support from corn market. The weekly net change is 18 higher on the March bean contract. March meal is $5.40 higher and oil was up 76 points. South American weather forecasts call for warming and drying weather over the next 10 days, which should continue to limit downside. Rains are expected to return in the 11 to 14 day time-frame; it will be important that we avoid prolonged dryness there over the next 3 weeks. The USDA domestic carryover was unchanged from last month at 140 million bushels and the world carryover was virtually steady as well. On the world numbers the Brazilian production number was up a million tons to 68.5 and Argentina down 1 million to 49.5. US biodiesel production for December was reported last Friday at 18.6 million gallons; only 7.5 million gallons were derived from soy products, which was a multi-year low. This reinforces ideas that the market is starting to see demand rationing at these prices. On the other hand, the weekly soybean sales were good at 20,800 tons for the 10/11 year and 950,300 tons for the 11/12 year. Combined, this was toward the high side of expectations. Meal sales were above expectations 182,700 tons and oil sales came in at 38,400 tons which was also higher than expected. Hedgers call with questions.

Iowa Pork Regional Conference set for early March Iowa pork producers are invited to learn more about pig health and growth numbers, and get updates on ventilation management and disease research projects at the 2011 Iowa Pork Regional Conferences scheduled for early March. The Iowa Pork Industry Center (IPIC), Iowa Pork Producers Association (IPPA) and Iowa State University (ISU) Extension co-sponsor this annual series at different sites around the state. IPIC extension program specialist Colin Johnson said that while the conference will offer information for owners and operators, others in the industry can benefit from attending. “This is a conference that will offer a lot of useful information for lots of folks,” he said. “Veterinarians, swine industry stakeholders, production employees and contract growers all will find knowledge they can use.” Johnson said James McKean, ISU Extension swine veterinarian and IPIC associate director, will speak on two topics: “PRRS Control Strategies

and Regional Projects” and “Pig Production after the Removal of Growth Promotion Drugs.” The presentation on PRRS will include tools to reduce impacts, eliminate the virus and minimize opportunities for re-infection. McKean will also talk about Draft Compliance Policy Guide 209 and potential impacts on pork production, and offer suggestions and strategies for reducing impacts of losing growth promotants. Other speakers are Ron Ketchum of Swine Management Services, speaking on “Benchmarking Sows and the Post-Weaned Pig,” and local ISU Extension swine program specialists who will present timely information on ventilation management and the scheduling of a ventilation trailer for on-site training workshops. This year’s dates of March 8 through 11 follow the same schedule and will be at the same respective locations as in 2010, and all sessions run from 1 to 4:30 p.m.

There is no cost for those pre-registered at least two business days prior to each location date. Walk-in registration is $5 per person, payable at the door. More information, including a link to the program brochure, is available on the IPIC Web site at www.ipic.iastate.edu/events.html. To pre-register, people should call IPPA at 800372-7675 or 515-225-7675. Program dates and locations are as follows: • Tuesday, March 8, Sheldon, Northwest Iowa Community College, 603 West Park Street, Building C Auditorium • Wednesday, March 9, Carroll, Carrollton Inn, 1205 West U.S. Highway 30, Suite C • Thursday, March 10, Nashua, Borlaug Learning Center, 3327 290th Street • Friday, March 11, Ainsworth, Marr Park, Highway 92

Spencer chef wins annual Iowa Pork Taste of Elegance contest Chef Jeremy Neppl of La Chiesa in Spencer was named Chef Par Excellence in the Iowa Pork Producers Association’s 24th annual Taste of Elegance competition January 24 in Des Moines. The Taste of Elegance is a Pork Checkoff-funded culinary competition designed to inspire innovative and exciting ways to menu pork. The event brings together 12 talented chefs from across Iowa for an elegant occasion that highlights pork and its popularity as a menu favorite. Neppl won the $1,000 top prize in the competition with his “Pork Belly and Apples Two Ways” entrée. He will represent Iowa at the National Taste of Elegance event at the Culinary Institute of America in St. Helena, California, this spring. Chef Joseph Weisz of The Iowa Stater in Ames was named Superior Chef as the runner-up. He won $500 with an entrée he called the “Iowa Pork Special: Espresso Pork Tender, Bacon Truffle Polenta & Prosciutto-wrapped Asparagus and Chipotle Vanilla Bean Nage.” Third place – Premier Chef – and a $250 cash prize went to Chef Kevin Moore of The Cellar in Fort Dodge for his “Stuffed Pork Paupilette with an Apricot Gastrique on a Bed of Risotto Duxelle” entrée. Moore also won the “People’s Choice” Award and an additional $250. Each of the 12 competing chefs was required to use a fresh pork cut in an original entrée. The winning pork dishes were selected on the basis of taste, appearance and originality by a panel of judges. The 2011 IPPA Taste of Elegance competition took place at the Des Moines Marriott and preceded the 39th annual Iowa Pork Congress at the Iowa Events Center.

Applications sought for Century and Heritage Farms program Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey is encouraging eligible farm owners to apply for the 2011 Century and Heritage Farm Program. The program is sponsored by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and the Iowa Farm Bureau and recognizes families that have owned their farm for 100 years in case of Century Farms and 150 years for Heritage Farms. “These awards are an opportunity to recognize the hard work and commitment by these families that is necessary to keep a farm in the same family for 100 or 150 years,” Northey said. “If you consider all the challenges and unexpected obstacles each of would have had to overcome during their life on the farm, it gives you a greater

appreciation of the dedication and perseverance of these families.” Farm families seeking to qualify for the Century or Heritage Farms Program must submit an application no later than June 1, 2011. Applications are available on the Department’s Web site at www.IowaAgriculture.gov by clicking on the Century Farm or Heritage Farm link under “Hot Topics.” Applications may also be requested from Linda Rosky, coordinator of the Century and Heritage Farm Program, by phone at 515-281-3645, e-mail at Linda.Rosky@IowaAgriculture.gov, or by writing to Century or Heritage Farms Program, Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, Henry A. Wallace Building, 502 East Ninth Street, Des Moines, IA 50319.

Applications must be postmarked no later than June 1. The ceremony to recognize the 2011 Century and Heritage Farms will take place at the Iowa State Fair and is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, August 16. The Century Farm program began in 1976 as part of the Nation’s Bicentennial Celebration and nearly 17,000 farms from across the state have received this recognition. The Heritage Farm program was started in 2006, on the 30th anniversary of the Century Farm program, and more than 450 farms have been recognized. Last year 346 Century Farms and 66 Heritage Farms were recognized.

Iowa cattle family brings home national environmental award Nevada, Iowa farmers Bill and Nancy Couser are the national 2011 winners of the Environmental Stewardship Award Program (ESAP) organized by the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA). Three generations of their family received the award February 3 at the 50-yard line of Invesco Field at Mile High Stadium in Denver, Colorado. The awards ceremony was part of the NCBA’s annual meeting that continues through February 5. Couser Cattle Co. is a second- and thirdgeneration multi-faceted farm. The Cousers annually feed and finish 5,000 to 6,000 head of cattle and grow both corn and soybeans. The family business philosophy centers on working to ensure that both profit opportunities and environmental performance are present in cattle and farming operations. Through the years, Bill Couser has actively partnered with environmental agencies and universities to use his farm for a number of sustainability-related research and pilot projects. Examples of this are: • Cousers partnered with NRCS, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Iowa State University and the U.S. EPA to develop a pilot system that would use a series of vegetative treatment areas (VTAs) to treat feedlot runoff to an acceptable standard. After study and monitoring, the VTAs have reduced the mass of total solids, nitrogen and phosphorous by at least 75 percent, or more. • In 2009, again partnering with DNR and ISU, Cousers built a mono-slope style feeding building that directs rainfall away from a new pen and allows more feeding capacity without compromising the VTA system. Runoff is eliminated and the value of manure for fertilizer is preserved. • By working with other groups to test new biomass harvesters, the Cousers transformed corn

stalks and cobs into new forms of feed, fuel and bedding. The Environmental Stewardship Award recognizes cattle producers whose natural resource stewardship practices protect the environment and contribute to productivity and profitability. The goal of the program is to demonstrate sound environmental practices that are successful production practices. Award recipients are chosen based upon the systems, methods and approaches used to enhance the environment. Examples include: increasing pasture stocking rates, controlling feedlot runoff, beneficial utilization of manure and effluent, erosion control practices, increasing and maintaining wildlife habitat, or other enhancements to the air, land, and water resources.

The Cousers are the third Iowa family to be selected as national winners in the 20-year-old program. In 2000, the Craig Utesch family (Triple U Ranch) of Correctionville received the award, and they were followed in 2001 by Dave and Diane Petty (Iowa River Ranch) of Eldora. All three families were nominated by their commodity group, the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association. Bill Couser said just competing for the top spot was an honor. “We’ve been able to meet several times with the six other nominees from around the country, and each has an interesting story about the way their families have used conservation and environmental practices on their farms,” he stated. The ESAP award is sponsored by Dow AgroSciences; USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS); the National Cattlemen’s Foundation (NCF); and NCBA.

more detailed disease information and outlines management options once you identify the disease using the field guide.” The publication was written by Mueller with ISU Extension colleagues Alison Robertson, plant pathologist; Greg Tylka, nematologist; and Adam Sisson with the ISU Corn and Soybean Initiative. Funding was supplied by the Iowa soybean checkoff, ISA and ISU Extension. For more information, contact Mueller at dsmuelle@iastate.edu or 515-460-8000.

Iowa Soybean Association to award up to $15,000 in scholarships The Iowa Soybean Association (ISA) is looking for qualified candidates to apply for its agriculture scholarships. ISA will award up to $15,000 this year through the ISA Ag Scholarship Program; it will be presented in as many as 10 $1,500 scholarships to capable high school seniors pursuing a degree in agriculture or an agriculture-related field. “Being able to provide graduating high school students with these scholarships shows that the Iowa Soybean Association is looking at providing agriculture a continuing pool of potential young leaders,” said Curt Sindergard, chairman of the ISA Ag Scholarship Committee. “It also shows that those individuals and companies who help support our scholarship fund believe in the future of agriculture in Iowa.” High school seniors interested in applying for an ISA scholarship must be Iowa residents and be attending any ag-related college or university. Other criteria include: a cumulative GPA of at

least 3.0, community involvement, leadership, future plans in agriculture, a short essay regarding the student’s role in the future of agriculture, and three letters of recommendation. Preference will be given to those applicants whose parents or grandparents are or become policy dues-paying members of ISA. Those students who would like to apply should contact their guidance counselors for more information or log on to ISA’s Web site at www.iasoybeans.com for a downloadable scholarship application and complete list of criteria. ISA Ag Scholarship Program applications must be postmarked no later than March 15. Scholarship winners will be notified by April 30. Completed applications can be mailed to Mary Whitcomb, Iowa Soybean Association, 1255 SW Prairie Trail Parkway, Ankeny, IA 50023.

Estrus synchronization planner available to beef producers at no charge Due to financial support from a multi-state extension group, beef producers are now able to get the Bovine Estrus Synchronization Planner at no charge. Garland Dahlke of the Iowa Beef Center (IBC) at Iowa State University (ISU) said the Beef Reproduction Task Force decided that providing the spreadsheet tool for free was a good way to share expertise with producers and be better able to offer assistance and updates. Access and additional information are available through the IBC Web site. “We know that this is a popular tool among producers and we want them to have the most up to date breeding and scheduling information,” Dahlke said. “In addition to the most current version, we also provide a wealth of supporting documents so people can get the most from the product. We at IBC appreciate being asked to host this data and spreadsheet

access and look forward to working with producers everywhere.” The Beef Reproduction Task Force comprises extension beef and other specialists from eight universities: ISU, Kansas State University, University of Nebraska, South Dakota State University, University of Missouri, University of Illinois and University of Florida. The group’s objectives include improving understanding of physiological processes of the estrous cycle, procedures available to synchronize estrus and proper application of these systems. T he Estrus Synchronization Planner is one result of this collaboration designed specifically for use by cattle producers. “Those who’d like to download the planner are asked to register with their name, address and e-mail address,” Dahlke said. “This is primarily for us to be able to provide updates to

those we know are using this tool. Your information will not be shared outside the task force and is not available for other purposes by anyone else.” To learn more about the Estrus Synchronization Planner and to register for access to the spreadsheet itself, visit the IBC Web site at http://www.iowabeefcenter.org/estrus_synch.ht ml. IBC was established in 1996 with the goal of supporting the growth and vitality of the state’s beef cattle industry. It comprises faculty and staff from ISU Extension, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and College of Veterinary Medicine, and works to develop and deliver the latest research-based information regarding the beef cattle industry.

Grassley, Leahy ask for next steps on agriculture competition Senator Chuck Grassley, along with Senator Patrick Leahy, on February 9 asked for the next steps planned for agricultural competition issues by the Departments of Justice and Agriculture. The two agencies conducted joint workshops over the last year to learn about the key competition issues facing the agriculture industry. Grassley and Leahy are respectively Ranking Member and Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which has jurisdiction over federal

antitrust policy. Both senators are also members of the Senate Agriculture Committee which has jurisdiction over the Packers and Stockyards Administration. "The agriculture industry has consolidated to the point where family farmers, independent producers and other smaller market participants do not have equal access to fair and competitive markets,” Grassley stated. “Increased concentration in agriculture will lead to fewer product

choices and higher product prices for the American consumer.” He added, “The workshops offered a chance for people involved in the ag industry to voice their concerns and provide comment. It was a strong signal that the two agencies were communicating about this important issue. Now, it’s time to take another step forward. I look forward to hearing what the Justice Department and Agriculture Department have in mind.”

Monoslope building eliminates manure runoff for Shelby County beef producer by Jason Johnson, Public Affairs Specialist, USDA-NRCS Replacing an open feedlot with a more environmentally-friendly, deep-bedded total containment building is paying dividends for Shelby County cattleman Clint Sonderman. His new 20,000 square foot facility totally eliminates manure runoff, allows for better manure utilization, and is resulting in healthier, more productive cattle. Three years ago Sonderman sought help from the USDA to reduce the amount of manure runoff from his 20-acre, 500-head cattle open feedlot during early spring snowmelt. “I was thinking (of installing) a settling basin,” he said, “something to keep the manure from running off the feedlot and into the ditch.” But Soil Conservation Technician Luke Zaiger of USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) presented a few total containment options, such as a hoop or monoslope building. “Sediment basins don’t provide 100 percent trap efficiency (of liquid manure), like total containment facilities,” said Zaiger. Sonderman, who farms near Earling, chose to install a monoslope building, which was finished in October 2008. He said he made the right decision. “It has completely eliminated my manure runoff issue,” said Sonderman. “Managed properly, nothing runs out of this building.” The new building includes three pens, and allows about 40 square feet per animal. Sonderman uses cornstalk bales for bedding. He stated he uses a little more than one round bale per head per year.

USDA-NRCS provided Sonderman financial assistance through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) to help pay for the building. EQIP is a voluntary conservation program that promotes agricultural production and environmental quality. The program offers financial and technical assistance to install or implement structural, vegetative and management practices to treat resource concerns on eligible agricultural land. Sonderman was also able to obtain financial assistance through the State Revolving Fund (SRF) Low-Interest Loan Program for the remaining cost of the monoslope building. The low-interest loan program makes loans available to Iowa farmers for a variety of conservation practices that help improve water quality. Compared to his open feedlot, Sonderman said his new building is allowing him to better utilize manure on his 600 acres of cropland. “I know it’s all pure manure now,” he said. “Scraping feedlots you might get one-quarter dirt. I never really knew the manure content.” Clint and his brother, Corey, scrape the manure weekly into a holding facility. Sonderman’s EQIP contract required a Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan (CNMP) that provided helpful manure test results. Sonderman stated these test results indicated he could cut back on commercial fertilizer. “I can tell the nutrient value of the manure better now,” he said. “Where I spread manure I have cut my nitrogen application rates in half and yields are exceptional.” Sonderman recently purchased a side slinger manure spreader for more even manure distribution. As a proud no-tiller, he stated, “I’ve

been no-tilling right through that and it’s been working well.” The new deep-bedded facility is also helping Sonderman produce healthier, more productive cattle. He is thankful for the covered building following consecutive cold, snowy winters and rainy summers. “I’ve got fewer sick cattle just because they are out of the rough weather conditions,” said Sonderman. Although Iowa State University research indicates no significant improvement in feed efficiency or rate of gain in open feedlots versus a total containment facility, Sonderman stated he has seen a rate of gain improvement in his cattle. “During the winter months we would hope livestock weight would remain steady,” he said. “Now we are continuing to see steady rate of gain throughout the year.” Zaiger said Sonderman’s monoslope building is the first of its kind in Shelby County. Last July, Sonderman hosted a field day to show off the new building. “Since that day we have received a lot of interest from local producers,” said Zaiger. “I know of several producers in Shelby County who would benefit from this type of structure.” For more information about manure management on farms, contact a local NRCS field office.

Iowa Learning Farms’ February webinar offers information on Iowa rainfall “Will the rain ever stop?” is the title of the Iowa Learning Farms (ILF) February webinar set for Wednesday, February 16 at noon. ILF is hosting a series of webinars on the third Wednesday of each month. The webinars will be conducted over the noon hour through Adobe Connect. All that is needed is a computer with Internet access Christopher J. Anderson, assistant director of the Climate Science Program at Iowa State University, is this month’s presenter. He will present information and discuss the increasing Iowa rainfall amounts and the implications this has on the agricultural industry. The Climate Science Program, headed up by Eugene Takle, explores the discipline of meteorology, but emphasizes climate as opposed to weather. Climate science is the study of aggregate weather events over certain time periods, whereas meteorology is the study of individual events. The Climate Science Program works with regional climate change data and then transforms it into information that decision-makers can use. Decision-makers include people working with U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Army

Corp of Engineers—virtually anyone dealing with soil and water and are affected by climate. Anderson said a clear trend in the United States is the frequency and intensity of heavy precipitation in the Northeastern and Central states. How is the agricultural industry adapting to these trends? Seed genetics, implement design, planting and harvesting schedules, and more, are being modified to withstand higher precipitation. The long-term impact all of this has on the farming community is crucial. Farm management will need to adapt. “Grandchildren will run the farm very differently than it is being run today,” stated Anderson. “The farms will still be there, but may look very different.” To connect to the webinars, go to: http://connect.extension.iastate.edu/ilf/.

ISU releases list of SDS-resistant varieties for Iowa For many Iowa farmers, the damage done by sudden death syndrome (SDS) in 2010 is all too fresh a memory. “In 2010 we had the perfect weather conditions for an SDS outbreak,” stated Iowa State University (ISU) Plant Pathologist Leonor Leandro. “There has been a gradual buildup of the SDS pathogen in Iowa soils over the past 10 years, and the unique weather conditions in 2010 were ideal for severe disease development.” Regarding the outlook for SDS in 2011, Leandro said it all depends on the weather. “If we get a dry year, we will not see SDS. But after last year, SDS is near the top of farmers’ list of challenges to manage.” Iowa Soybean Association (ISA) Director of Contract Research David Wright stated, “The best management tactic for SDS is to select varieties with resistance to SDS, especially since there are no seed treatments or

fungicides that we know will manage the disease.” A new publication, Sudden Death SyndromeResistant Soybean Varieties for Iowa – PM 3009, has been produced by ISU and ISA and is now available to the public. The publication lists more than 300 commercial soybean varieties resistant to SDS in maturity groups I, II and III. “The soybean varieties in the publication were submitted by seed companies and fall into the top several categories of SDS-resistant varieties available from those companies,” ISU Extension Pathologist Daren Mueller stated. He noted that the information provided by seed companies has not been verified by ISU. Companies’ ratings vary, so not all “resistant” lines are equal. ISU does not guarantee or endorse any specific varieties listed. In addition to listing resistant varieties, the publication also reviews other factors to consider in the selection process.

“Yield potential is an essential consideration in the decision process,” Mueller said. “A variety may have high resistance ratings and low yield potential. It is important to select the best resistant varieties with the highest yield potential to ensure maximum soybean production in the fall.” Resistance to other pests should also be considered. "Because soybean cyst nematode may increase SDS severity, varieties with resistance to both SDS and SCN should be selected," Leandro stated. "And in another growing season, conditions may be right for other diseases so it is important to select varieties with resistance to several diseases.” The publication is available as a downloadable PDF from ISU Extension’s online store at www.extension.iastate.edu/store or from ISA’s Production Research Library at www.iasoybeans.com/productionresearch/produ ctiontech.html.

National Singles in Agriculture celebrates 25 years The Iowa/Wisconsin Chapter of Singles in Agriculture will be hosting the 25th anniversary of the National Singles in Agriculture March 10 through 13 at the Clarion Inn in Williamsburg, Little Amana. All singles with an agricultural related background are invited to attend all or part of the event. The event consists of tours of the Kinze Manufacturing Company, the seven villages of Amana, as well as a buffet dinner and dance on Friday and Saturday night. The idea of Singles in Agriculture (SIA) began with an article in Farm Journal written by Meg Gage on the difficulty of farmers meeting people and having a full social life. They had such an overwhelming response that they put out a directory. It became a huge task for the magazine, and Iowan Marcella Spindler volunteered to handle correspondence among those interested in forming a singles organization. By the summer of 1986, the idea officially became Singles in Agriculture and then the following October became a charter. The non-profit organization now has 11 state chapters and members from 41 states. Membership encompasses a broad range in ages 18 to over 70…never married, divorced, widowed and widowers. The purpose of Singles in Agriculture is to promote educational, recreational, and social opportunities for singles who have an agricultural background or related occupation, or who are interested in agriculture. Building new friendships and enjoying new tomorrows is what Singles in Agriculture is all about. SIA events have taken participants to places in Texas, Kentucky, West Virginia, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Iowa. The state chapters provide local events in their states that have included educational as well as fun tours, dancing, canoeing, water tank floats, kayaking, camping, wiener roasts and shopping for a lot of fun-filled weekends of fellowship, laughter and hugs. While SIA is not a dating site, many have met and married. They can then join the sister group called Singles no More. Because of the life-long friendships made, many of the Singles no More still attend the regular SIA events. SIA is a good way to meet new friends from across the United States and travel and do things individuals wouldn’t ordinarily do by themselves. One of the organization’s sayings is “SIA, where you’re only a stranger once…then you’re a friend forever!” Contact people for the 25th Anniversary event are: Jack at 641-648-9689, Roberta at 319-3851114, Ferd at 319-653-4806 and Sandy at 319232-6103. The contact person for information on the Iowa/Wisconsin Chapter is Shirley at 319-6532959 Other upcoming Iowa events include “Spring Fling” in Ankeny and a “Summer Dance Party” in Mason City/Clear Lake.

A scene repeated throughout western Iowa this winter – a snow-covered farm drive leading up to pretty red out-buildings surrounded by snow-covered trees. Snow depth for much of northwest Iowa was more than a foot and in some cases approaching two feet in early February. A snow depth of 21 inches was reported for Sanborn (O’Brien County) on February 9.

Spray Polyurethane Foam Roofing & Insulation System Urethane foam roof insulation produces energy cost savings with the highest R-values. This protection against temperature extremes reduces the possibility of substrate cracking. Because it’s seamless, there are no laps or joints to leak, crack or tear. It’s lightweight, which means less of a load on your roof structure. In addition, foam adds to structural strength.

Before

After

Spray Polyurethane Foam Interior Insulation Systems The superior R-value and unique sealing characteristics of our products reduce temperature variances and convective looping. The foam seals penestrations throughout the building framework such as electrical outlets and plumbing fixtures, for complete coverage impossible with other kinds of insulation. The exceptional thermal and structural characteris- We also apply aestetically appealing sprayed insulatics will save you on the high cost of tion and finishes which provide acoustics, condensation, and fire control. They are effective, economenergy.

Foam Injection Systems Foam Injection is a great solution to updating and improving your home’s insulation, even if you have pre-existing fiberglass inside your walls. A simple, usually one-day application of foam through small holes in the exterior of the structure, frame or block construction, fills in the spaces to form a complete barrier to outdoor temperature variations. In addition to the superior insulation value of foam insulation the product is also non-flammable, which adds safety and value to your home. It also helps provide a barrier against insects and animals coming in from the outside, while it keeps you comfortable inside. Unlike blown-in cellulose or fiberglass, injected foam will not settle over time. This means that your insulation stays in place, particularly at the top of walls where it is most needed. Non-toxic and completely safe, our injected foam products produce no fumes, gases or emissions that may be created by other types of insulation products.
