Rule Sheep Company grows in Hawarden

by Emma Struve While the Rules have one of the largest sheep operations in Iowa, the family’s livestock experience began more than 50 years ago in Colorado.

Third-generation herdsman Tyson Rule shared the history that culminated at the modern hoopbarn based lambing facility near Hawarden (in Sioux County), home to nearly 2,000 ewes he currently manages with the help of few employees outside the Rule family.

“I got involved in sheep because my family was involved with sheep,” he simply stated.

The family patriarch Larry Rule realized he could not support his growing family that included three children in 1955, working Hereford cattle in a feedlot near Eagle, Colorado.

He moved to Brighton, near Denver, and with a partner started a sheep feedlot to grow 60,000 head of lambs at a time.

To process that capacity, the two also owned and operated a packing plant in Denver, Colorado, in the 1970s.

Though in the early 1980s the Rules discovered it was cheaper to ship the lambs to Iowa for processing.

Within the last three decades the Rule family started two more Colorado feedlots and developed packing facilities in Hawarden to replace the plant in Denver.

At nearly the same time the packing plant was established, the Rules also purchased a vacant farm implement dealership. The large building that used to house the office and shop was converted into a winter lambing barn and is still used to shelter the annual crop of club lambs more than 20 years later.

The family has also invested in show quality genetics and captures the benefits of technologies like artificial insemination and embryo transfer in their show flock.

“My involvement in the business started when I was six,” Tyson said. His job was to help unload, sort, weigh and count sheep at the Hawarden sale barn, part of the packing plant.

Though, he recalled, the family always had ewes and Tyson and his sister, Jennifer, both had lamb and sheep projects in 4-H and FFA. Tyson obtained an animal science degree from Iowa State University in 2002. Experience gained selling office software, printing equipment, and workflow services allowed Tyson to learn about sales, marketing and procurement; he compared it to going through an “on the job MBA program.”

“I enjoyed learning about my customers’ busi-

nesses. If I could find a way to make their business run more efficient with our products and services, then they would look to me for new ways to help impact their business,” Tyson noted.

He returned to the family business after the sojourn in the corporate world, and in 2008 construction began on the new 240-acre site, which now includes a modern lambing barn with slatted floors and two hoop barns to house gestating and lactating ewes as well as lambs, each more than 600 feet long.

“I was tired of the 9 to 5,” Tyson said.

He also recalled that when he was young, he could go to work with his dad on the farm every day. His kids seemed to be missing out.

Getting back into the stock business allows him to spend more time with his two daughters, sevenyear-old Madison and Mackenzie, soon to be two, Tyson added.

Hoop barns, 36 by 620 feet, house 2,000 sheep on the Rule’s farm in Sioux County. They are constructed with eight foot concrete sidewalls, poured floors and curtained side walls. Photo by Emma Struve Madison already has a job on the farm. She is in charge of washing, drying and folding the towels used in the lambing barn.

Wife Amber, Tyson said, is also involved in the family business. Tyson commended her patience and work ethic.

“She is a lot better at teaching (lambs) to eat than me,” he said.

Tyson’s dad Rob puts in a lot of hours also during lambing season and helps teach the new employees the skills needed to successfully take care of the ewes and baby lambs during lambing time.

Between December and May this year, the Rules will lamb 2,000 ewes in three batches, about a quarter of which are black faced ewes producing club lambs. This is the first season of full production at the new site.

An online sale ended in March and the next Ring of Success online ewe lamb sale will be April 19 and 20 at www.rulesheep.com. The approximately 60 lambs offered for sale can be viewed online.

During lambing, the Rules employ up to five people but during the rest of the year the chores are completed by family members and usually take about a half a day.

The efficiency of the work is directly related to the site layout.

Ewes about to lamb are brought to the lambing barn and put in “drop pens.” Once the lambs are born they join their mother in individual pens where they can be monitored for health and to make sure they are eating. After just two to three days, the lambs and ewes are moved into group pens in the lambing barn, and then a week later moved out to the hoop barn.

Advantages of keeping the sheep under roof include avoiding predators common on pasture as well as being able to closely observe the animals for health. It also keeps vulnerable lambs out of the mud and cold in the early spring.

Pens are equipped with lamb creep areas where they are started on pellets and corn. Lambs are weaned at about 50 days of age. It takes substantially less than a year to finish the lambs.

Feeding all 2,000 sheep takes about two hours per day. Feed is mixed on site from a feed shed equipped with six bays; each can hold a semi-load of feed. The ration is composed of forage, including ground alfalfa and grass hay, soy hulls, dried distillers grains, corn produced on site, and another corn processing byproduct, distiller’s syrup.

“I like processes,” Tyson said.

He devised the routines so the workers do chores in the morning and the afternoons are reserved for special projects. This keeps the tasks from getting repetitive.

The objective is to expand production to 4,000 head at the site over the next decade.

Lactating ewes and their lambs are kept in large hoop buildings, bedded Rule Sheep Company’s ewes and newborn lambs are housed in this new lambing barn that even has slatted floors, helpful for sanitation.

Bringing in the herd

New border collie trainee, Nikki, is shown getting one of her first sheep experiences. Trainer Curtis Dukes starts training herding dogs in a round pen.

When dogs are first introduced to livestock their herding instinct immediately kicks in. It’s this instinct the trainer hones so that the dog will eventually herd the sheep in a productive fashion.

The round pen is useful, Dukes said, because it makes for “less dog chasing.”

The first skills a puppy learns are to circle the sheep in one direction, stop, and turn the sheep to circle in the opposite direction.

He then moves the dog and sheep into progressively larger enclosures and pastures.

The experienced dogs on Dukes’ farm are even used together; for example, when moving cattle from one pasture to another across open area or roads. Photo

Working dogs ease farmers’ burdens

By Emma Struve To drive by Curtis Dukes’ farm, it doesn’t look much out of the ordinary: a few sheds grace both sides of the road nearby an old, white farm house surrounded by cropland and flanked by a modest feedlot full of home grown calves.

Once you pull in the drive and step out of your truck, though, the first hint that the Dukes’ operation is unique comes in the form of a chorus of barks and greetings from a fluffy, young border collie named Tuff.

Tuff is the most recent addition to Dukes’ farm, located in Adams County near Lenox. He has had border collies as herding dogs for 20 years.

The dogs work hard on the farm and are a hobby for Dukes as he demonstrates their skills at field trials.

Dukes’ border collies dogs produce puppies that are used by other stockmen.

“I pick out a pup I think I’m going to like,” Dukes explained when asked how to select a herding dog at such a young age. Those that are outgoing when compared to their siblings are good candidates. It is also helpful to see the parents work, he added.

The potential of a puppy to one day become a herding dog is protected during the first weeks

Spring 2010 forage outlook: Still early to determine winter damage . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Page 9

and months of his life.

“Let the pups be pups until they are six to eight months old,” Dukes said.

During this time it is important for the handler to bond with the puppy and establish good recall: puppies should be able to recognize their name and come when they are called.

Dukes said he doesn’t put young dogs in with livestock yet because a bad interaction, such as getting kicked, could hurt a small dog and “put the dog off work,” in that they would become fearful of the stock and not be able to productively interact later on. Getting kicked by livestock could even kill a small dog.

By the age of eight to 10 months, dogs can begin to be introduced to stock.

“I never had sheep until I had dogs,” Dukes quipped.

Dukes starts training pups with “dog broke sheep.” Because dogs are the natural predator of sheep, stock takes time to become accustomed to being handled by dogs.

Border collies will also herd cattle.

“Most dogs will work one or the other (sheep or cattle) better than the other,” Dukes noted.

Herding commands Curtis Dukes, 20-year veteran border collie handler, uses both verbal commands and a series of whistles to give his herding dogs instructions in the field.

• “Come by.” A low pitch blast followed by a high pitched one. The dog flanks the livestock, sheep or cattle, and turns them in a clockwise direction.

• “Away to me.” A high pitch whistle followed by a low pitched blast. The dog flanks the stock and turns them in a counter clockwise direction.

• “There.” One high-pitched blast on the whistle. The dog stops whatever it is doing and lays down.

• “Walk up.” Two short, low-pitched blasts on the whistle. The dog drives the stock, as a group, away from the handler. This is one of the hardest skills to teach a border collie because it goes against their instinct to gather stock together and toward the handler.

• “That’ll do.” This gently spoken command is one that may be unique to Dukes. He tells his dogs this after their training session is over.

“It takes the load off,” Dukes explained.

4-H taps text giving for new fundraising effort On Thursday, April 1, the National 4-H Council kicked off the 4-H Give2Vote Challenge, a fundraiser to benefit state 4-H programs using mobile and online technology.

Reported to be the first national youth development organization to test mobile giving, the National 4-H Council aims to rally 4-H’s legion of more than 88,000 Facebook “fans” in a friendly giving competition to support their state.

The month-long campaign is not limited to Facebook however; anyone who wishes to support the six million 4-H members across the United States can text CLOVER to 50555 to donate $10.

What makes the Challenge unique is that the state 4-H program receiving the most donations by mobile phone or by giving online at 4-H.org will receive a bonus $5,000. Each donation counts as one vote.

The $5,000 bonus, generously provided by campaign sponsor JCPenney, is an added incentive to encourage states to spread the word. Participating wireless carriers include AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint and Nextel. The state donation designation will be determined by the area code of the mobile subscriber.

“New mobile technologies have allowed us to break exciting new ground and offer an easy way

for people to support the 4-H movement,” said Donald T. Floyd, Jr., president and CEO of the National 4-H Council. “Donations received via text provide an innovative new stream of funding to 4-H programs, creating even more opportunities for youth.”

4-H has been proven to have a positive impact on youth. According to longitudinal research conducted by the Institute for Applied Research in Youth Development at Tufts University, if a child is in 4-H, he or she is: • Nearly two times more likely to get better grades in school • Nearly two times more likely to plan to go to college • 41 percent less likely to engage in risky behaviors • 25 percent more likely to positively contribute to their families and communities In addition, The 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development found that when compared to other youth, young people involved in 4-H perform better in science, engineering and technology subjects and are more likely to pursue science careers.

The Challenge’s mobile fundraising capability is powered by Mobile Accord/mGive. “mGive is very

excited to partner with an organization that plays such an important role in developing America’s youth. We look forward to helping 4-H expand their donor base through the mobile giving channel,” said mGive Co-Founder and CEO Tony Aiello.

With an estimated 285.6 million US Wireless subscribers and 152.7 billion text messages sent per month, according to CTIA-The Wireless Association, 4-H is ready to take advantage of this 21st Century technology to advance the 108 year old organization’s positive youth development message and mission among this growing audience.

A one-time donation of $10 will be added to your mobile phone bill or deducted from your prepaid balance. You will also receive up to one message per day from National 4-H Council Alerts.

Message and data rates may apply. All charges are billed by and payable to your mobile service provider. Service is available on most carriers.

Donations are collected for the benefit of National 4-H Council by the mGive Foundation and subject to the terms found at www.mGive.com/A. To unsubscribe text STOP to 50555, for help text HELP to 50555. Privacy policy available at http://mgive.com/PrivacyPolicy.aspx.

Labor from late harvest carries over to spring

by Emma Struve As crop producers in Iowa ready equipment to head to the fields for planting, Iowa State University Extension field agronomists share with Iowa Farm & Ranch some advice on how to prioritize a potential backlog of field work left over from a late and wet fall in 2009.

Of unanimous concern is that soil be allowed to sufficiently dry before any field work is attempted.

R. Aaron Saeugling, field agronomist from Creston, said, “When considering tillage for this spring, growers need to have patience to let soils dry…Tillage in wet soils does little to break compaction zones.

“Also, growers need to delay anhydrous ammonia application until dry soils are present to avoid poor sealing and loss of ammonia,” he added.

Waiting to plant until soils are drier also improves seed to soil contact and helps to “avoid side wall compaction, uneven planting depth and crusting,” Saeugling noted.

He covers Pottawattamie, Cass, Adair, Madison, Mills, Montgomery, Adams, Union, Clarke, Fremont, Page, Taylor, Ringgold and Decatur counties in southwest Iowa.

Joel DeJong, the field agronomist who advises farmers in Lyon, Osceola, Sioux, O'Brien, Plymouth, Cherokee, Woodbury and Ida counties in west central Iowa added, “I think we caused some compaction last fall, and we didn’t remove much with frost this winter due to the good insu-

lating blanket the snow provided.”

He said that it is tough, to impossible, to remove compaction from wet soils. In the very moist soils this spring producers can do more damage than good with inappropriate tillage depth.

Field Agronomist Mark Licht advised, “Spring tillage practices should be limited to the minimum amount needed to ensure a uniform seedbed.

“Weather necessitated contingencies would be to get the N, P and K fertilizers applied,” he added.

Additional priorities include the application of pre-emergence herbicide.

Licht works in Sac, Calhoun, Monona, Crawford, Carroll, Greene, Harrison, Shelby, Audubon, and Guthrie counties. He commented that “fungicidal seed treatments will be of benefit because of the high potential for wet soil conditions” this spring.

Licht also offered the following link, which can be used to check four-inch soil temperatures across the state: http://extension.agron.iastate.edu/NPKnowledge/ soiltemphistory.html.

DeJong noted that this type of seed treatment will be especially important in poorly drained soils. He cautioned producers to be aware of

potential nitrogen losses due to fields with excessive moisture, both last fall and this spring.

Licht stated, “There is the potential that fallapplied nitrogen movement and lack of uniform soil conditions this spring will result in uneven corn emergence and growth. It will be extremely important to plant in warm, dry soil conditions to minimize the chances of sidewall compaction.”

As far as spring fertilizer application goes, Saeugling cautioned, “Mistakes early in the season have a way of haunting us all season long…Proper anhydrous application is critical to maintain optimum use of nitrogen by corn later in the growing season.”

He suggested, “Consider no-till farming operations to avoid the crunch of making tillage passes under wet conditions to prepare soil for planting.”

Given the changeable Iowa spring weather, DeJong advised producers, “Before the season starts, put together two game plans for the planting season. One, what you will do if the spring gives you good windows of opportunity to get the work done. The second is if we get wet and late; what are we going to do with our system to save time and get it done quicker?”

Animal science alumnus returns to ISU as swine farms manager For some, college graduation means the end of being on campus amidst faculty, staff and fellow students. For Jay Lampe, college graduation led to a private industry job that led him back to Iowa State University (ISU) as an employee, and he couldn’t be happier.

On January 25, he began work as swine farms manager overseeing the ISU swine teaching, nutrition and research farms.

“The opportunity to get back to work with students was the key reason I was interested in this job,” Lampe said. “My focus is to have good students involved in these farms, just as I was.”

Lampe earned his B.S. and M.S. degrees in animal science at ISU, and worked on most of the ISU animal science department’s farms. He was a lab instructor as a grad student and he said he enjoys being around people who are enthusiastic about learning.

In his professional career at Swine Graphics, he had both research and production responsibilities. His research work included collaborative efforts with ISU College of Veterinary Medicine and the USDA-ARS office on campus.

As production manager, he oversaw half of the company's wean-to-finish pig system and at any one time was responsible for 130,000 head of pigs.

“During the past two years, I worked in the grow-finish side of the business, which will help me in streamlining the ISU farms to potential-

ly create less waste,” he said. “Also during that time of financial downturn, the commercial industry learned to become creative in order to stay in business. I expect that experience to help me deal with budget cuts and decreased funding that the university is facing.”

His student work experience has given him a real leg up as swine farms manager, especially considering his new position replaces three individual swine farm management positions.

“It’s been a huge benefit to me to be familiar with the farms. Otherwise I’d be totally lost trying to keep up with the farms themselves and the researchers and their work,” Lampe said.

“Following in the footsteps of those who were here for such a long time is definitely inspiring and reassuring at the same time. In times of doubt, it helps me remember that it’s worth struggling through the tough times in order to see the good times.”

Although he has definite goals (the farms will be financially more sound and production will be representative of commercial industry), Lampe said he remains firmly committed to strong traditions such as showing truckloads at the National Barrow Show. And, he said, he expects to continue having the farms open to visitors from within and outside of the university, such as livestock judging teams, elementary schools and international visitors.

Increasing Iowa's Farm to School opportunities Discover ways to serve healthy and fresh food to students Two-thirds of school children eat a National School Lunch Program lunch and consume about one-third of their total calories from this meal; and that food travels between 2,500 and 4,000 miles before reaching their plates.

Moreover, over one-quarter of Iowa children age 10-17 are either overweight or obese, according to a 2007 study compiled by the National Survey of Children's Health.

"These stats make clear the need for and immediate value of Farm to School programs. Farm to School not only provides healthy food choices for our children but also create economic opportunities for local farmers. Gardens make great outdoor classrooms and farmers enjoy the opportunity to welcome students to their farms," said Adele Phillips of the Center for Rural Affairs.

According to Phillips, excellent resources are increasingly available for food service directors to connect with local farmers and learn new ways to serve fresh and healthy food to students. One such resource, an educational workshop sponsored in part by the Center for Rural Affairs, will show how food service directors can serve healthy, fresh food to students through a farm-to-school food program.

The workshop is designed for food-service directors, farmers, community members and interested individuals, and will be from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Thursday, April 15, at the University of Northern Iowa's Malcolm Price Lab School.

"This training will provide resources to help food-service directors throughout the region conContinued on Page 7

Cardinals and cattle

For the last couple weeks, I’ve been awakened by the sound of cardinals “fighting” with my bedroom window. The birds sit on the branches of the trees right outside the window, see their reflections and pick fights.

While I realize they are territorial birds and don’t have control over their behavior, I also want that extra half hour of sleep I could get without the tapping.

I researched the behavior on a bird watching site on the internet to make sure I didn’t have “crazy” birds. (I didn’t. It’s a natural behavior.)

I came across the site, w i l d - b i r d watching.com, which suggests decreasing the reflectivity of the windows or putting a physical barrier on the outside of the windows. Or, you can just wait until the end of nesting season when the behavior decreases.

I may be crazy by then.

I do enjoy the bright red cardinals flying around the farm, though, so I guess I’ll tolerate it for awhile longer.

I keep telling people that I have tons of worthless knowledge and information in my

head. I found another little piece of information while researching cardinals crashing into windows.

A website called flap.com listed the top killers of birds each year.

Glass windows kill an estimated 100 to 900 million birds each year.

Someone actually did a study over a 20-year period to support this statistic. I wonder how the data was collected, and if he stood at the bottom of tall skyscrapers waiting for birds to drop so he could count them.

The U.S. Fish and Wildife Service estimates that up to 175 million birds die from colliding with electrical transmission lines.

An “unknown” number of birds die each year from inadvertently drowning in livestock water tanks. I didn’t know my herd of cattle were murderers, but stranger things have happened.

A couple weeks ago, I was flipping through the channels and came across a new HBO movie called “Temple Grandin” that caught my interest.

It was billed as dramatized documentary of the life of a woman named Temple Grandin, played by the lovely Claire Danes.

Usually I like to watch action movies, with my rating system akin to the amount of explosives the producers had to use during the filming of the movie.

But, the teaser line caught my eye: A women becomes a advocate for autism and humane cattle handling. I wondered how these two things could come together. A couple hours later I knew.

I wanted my husband to watch the movie too.

The next night, I said I found a movie about the handling of cattle that I thought he would like.

For the first half hour, while we watched Temple growing up and adapting to her autism in the school system, I kept getting the “what were you thinking when you said I would like this movie” look. Once Temple started working with cattle, he became more interested.

Temple Grandin went to college about the same time as my dad, beginning in 1966, so the movie was a great resource for me to see how animals used to be handled, and seeing how that is different today.

Now we know that cattle that are stressed do not produce as good beef as cattle who are calm when they are slaughtered.

THE

FARMER’S WIFE

By Christy Welch I wish the PETA people could watch this movie and understand that, for the most part, farmers take care of their animals and care about how they are being raised.

One of the things Temple said in the movie while she is explaining her design for a more humane slaughter facility was, “We owe them some respect. I touched the first cow that was being stunned. In a few seconds it was going to be

just another piece of beef, but in that moment it was still an individual. It was calm and then it was gone. I became aware of how precious life was.”

Indeed.

Despite her autism, which was virtually unknown 60 years ago (they defined it as a form of schizophrenia early in the movie), Temple Grandin now holds three degrees, including a Ph.D in Animal Science. She is a professor, author, and public speaker.

When Temple started her journey of listening to the mooing sounds of cattle and watching their behavior, she was laughed at by the “old boys’ club” who wouldn’t listen to her.

Now, almost half of the cattle in North America are handled in a center track restrainer system that she designed for meat plants.

By looking at the world from the animal’s point of view, she helped change the cattle industry.

A case could be made that she helped improve the quality of the beef we eat today.

Now, if I could just get into the minds of those cardinals.

Manning’s Kienast family named Wergin Good Farm Neighbor The Bary and Karen Kienast family, which farms near Manning in Carroll County, were the winners of the March “Gary Wergin Good Farm Neighbor Award.”

The award was presented to the Kienast by Iowa Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Karey Claghorn at the Hausbarn/Heritage Park in Manning on Monday, March 29.

“The Kienast family has demonstrated a longstanding commitment to caring for the land, their animals, and also their neighbors,” said Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey. “Like other farmers throughout the state they exemplify the care for the land and concern for their neighbors that this award was designed to recognize. It’s second nature for them to give back to their neighbors and community.”

Bary and Karen Kienast own and operate a custom beef and row crop farm south of Manning. They have two children and have also had a number of foster children.

The Kienast family was nominated by Kevin Boyle from Templeton Savings Bank. In his nomination he said, “The Kienasts have a reputation for going far beyond the norm of a regular neighbor. Bary and Karen are very well known in the

community for their volunteerism and are some of the first people called upon when someone needs a favor.”

Besides their work on the farm, the Kienasts are also active in the community. Bary is a member of Carroll County Extension and both are active with the Manning Heritage Foundation.

The Wergin Good Farm Neighbor award, made possible through the financial support of The Coalition to Support Iowa’s Farmers, recognizes Iowa livestock farmers who care for their farms, neighbors, and the environment. It is named in memory of Gary Wergin, a long-time WHO Radio farm broadcaster who helped create the award.

WHO Radio’s Big Show broadcast live from the Hausbarn/Heritage Park in Manning on Monday, March 29.

Anyone interested in nominating their neighbor for the award should write a letter or e-mail explaining why their neighbor should receive this designation. Applications may be submitted to the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, Attn: Wergin Good Farm Neighbor Award, Henry A. Wallace Building, Des Moines, IA 50319 or emailed to Communications@iowa Agriculture.gov.

"The transition to sourcing cafeteria foods locally won't happen overnight, but it does need to happen. We at CEEE are more than happy to lend our expertise to this effort."

According to Geary, Bertrand Weber, director of wellness, nutrition and culinary standards for Taher, Inc., a food-services management company in Minnesota, will give the keynote address. Taher, Inc. provides K-12 school lunch management and other food services to clients in 10 states. Weber formerly managed numerous hotels and resorts and has worked with many school districts to make their school lunch programs healthier.

"At this meeting, Iowa farmers and food service directors have a great opportunity to observe and learn from success stories out of Minnesota and from around Iowa. And they can bring back ideas on how to engender a passion in their students for healthy eating and an even greater understanding of the importance of food and farming in Iowa," said Phillips.

The event is open to the public. The cost to participate is $30. The registration fee covers lunch and material costs.

More distant landowners less involved, research shows More than half of Iowa’s farmland is owned by people who do not farm it, and the further they live from the land, the less involved they are in its management, according to data from the 2009 Iowa Farm and Rural Life Poll.

This has implications regarding who makes decisions about Iowa land, farm operators’ ability to earn a living through farming and whether the land is well cared for or exploited.

“Farmland owners ultimately are responsible for decisions about who farms their land and how it’s farmed,” said Iowa State University Extension Sociologist J. Gordon Arbuckle Jr., who co-directs the annual survey with ISU Extension Sociologist Paul Lasley. “Their decisions regarding who has access to that land and how it is farmed can influence the social, economic and environmental outcomes of family farming.”

Very little research has examined issues related to rented farmland, Arbuckle noted; this report begins to address that gap.

A complete analysis of the Iowa Farm and Rural Life Poll data related to rented land in Iowa has been published in a new ISU Extension publication, “Rented Land in Iowa: Social and Environmental Dimensions,” PMR 1006. It’s available from the ISU Extension Online Store (www.extension.iastate.edu/store/) and Extension Sociology (www.soc.iastate.edu/extension/farmpoll.html).

Access to land, whether through ownership or leasing arrangements, is critical to success in farming, Arbuckle said.

“This is an important way that agriculture differs from other sectors. For example, manufacturers can get the raw materials they need for production from around the world, and they can often substitute materials for one another in times of relative scarcity,” he stated.

But in agriculture, there’s only so much farmland available in a given area, Arbuckle said. “If farmers don’t have access to sufficient land within a certain distance of their homes, they can’t farm. Having secure access to enough acreage to make a living, or at least contribute to household income, is key to success in farming.”

Arbuckle’s research shows that on the whole, Iowa’s farmers feel that their relationships with

their landlords are secure. Farmers have been leasing from the same landlords for 18 years on average, and 78 percent believe that their landlords are committed to their continuation as tenants. Tenants communicate with their landlords about farming about eight times a year.

Relationships appear to deteriorate with distance, however. The ISU Extension survey found that nearly half of Iowa non-operator landowners live outside of the county where their land is located, and 21 percent live out of state. Landlord communication about farming and conservation, commitment to relationships with tenants and perceived land stewardship ethics all decline the further away a landlord lives.

“Most Iowa farm landlords are former farmers or spouses of former farmers, and they tend to live in the county where there farmland is located,” Arbuckle staed. Heirs of farm estates, on the other hand, tend to live out of state. As more former farmers pass their farms on to heirs, the average distance between landlords and their land is likely to increase, and any related impacts will likely intensify too.”

Land ownership also can play a role in determining the environmental impact of farming, Arbuckle continued. The sociologist said research has consistently shown that implementation of conservation practices - especially those that require major changes to the land and have longer-term benefit horizons such as terraces and riparian buffers - is positively related to ownership.

“Because such a high proportion of Iowa farmland is rented, we need to think about strategies to reach out to non-operator landowners and help them to ensure that their land has adequate conservation measures in place,” Arbuckle said.

About the Iowa Farm and Rural Life Poll More than 1,200 farmers participated in the 2009 Iowa Farm and Rural Life Poll. On average, they were 64 years old and had been farming for 39 years. Copies of the rented land report, as well as the 2009 summary report, PM 2093, and reports from previous years are available from the ISU Extension Online Store (www.extension.iastate.edu/store/) and Extension Sociology (www.soc.iastate.edu/extension/farmpoll.html).

Spring 2010 forage outlook: Still early to determine winter damage

by Gordon Wolf With the arrival of spring, livestock producers begin to think of pastures and alfalfa fields, and how these valuable sources of forage survived the winter.

So far, Dr. Stephen K. Barnhart, professor of agronomy at Iowa State University, has not heard of any winter damage to alfalfa fields and pastures as of an April 2 interview with the Iowa Farm & Ranch. He added that it is too early to know if there has been any widespread damage.

But he sounded optimistic about pastures and alfalfa fields surviving the winter well. The ground had a good cover of snow, and other than some extremely cold days, the winter was mild.

Also, not much mid-winter thawing occurred to threaten the condition of pastures and alfalfa fields.

Barnhart is responsible for the ISU Extension program in forage production and management and also tracks hay prices.

Land for pastures and alfalfa got a good, quick start this spring with warm temperatures.

Barnhart said if temperatures stay average or above average, it will benefit pastures and alfalfa fields.

At the same time, cattle producers want to get their livestock out of muddy lots and onto pastures as quickly as possible.

“It’s a little too early for much grass or grazing value out there,” Barnhart said, “so producers will have to supplement feed to their cattle.”

He explained that producers usually have to make compromises when deciding when to move livestock to pasture in the spring. Sending cattle out onto pasture land causes concerns of compaction and hoof damage if soil conditions are still wet.

One thing leads to another

Firmer contact leads to uniform emergence leads to 1,000 more ears per acre Uneven germination and emergence sap yields. Plants coming up even a little late can’t compete with their neighbors for resources and, at pollination, they’re vulnerable to heat pressure and insects.

By setting the seed at the right depth and creating consistent seed-to-soil contact, Keeton Seed Firmers produce uniform emergence and eliminate the nubbins.

Now imagine replacing all your nubbins with healthy ears, and you’ll understand how you can recover an average of 1,000 more ears – six bushels – per acre.

There’s a Keeton Seed Firmer for just about every planter, drill and operation. Seed tube or bracket mounted, dual tube, low-pro¿le, split-stream and more.

SPRING 2010 FORAGE OUTLOOK: Contined from page 9

From April 5, 2010 “Crop Connections”

by Mark Licht, Extension Field Agronomist, Carroll

“We need to also consider what the pasture forages need,” he stated. “The grass is just now recovering from winter dormancy, and its spring regrowth is initially coming from the sugars it stored up over the winter. Grazing early and removing needed early leaf area causes concerns.”

Producers have historically applied nitrogen fertilizer to their pastures and grass hay fields early in the spring, Barnhart continued.

“With our commonly used cool-season forages, we typically have an early spring forage surplus.

Spreading nitrogen on pastures early in the spring may not be economically efficient, because it just grows more excess,” said Barnhart.

“Delaying nitrogen application until early May to the latter part of May may help spread out some of the spring growth, and make it more uniformly available,” he continued.

From a farm management standpoint, Barnhart explained delaying pasture fertilization until later in May often conflicts with rowcrop activity.

In Iowa, the ideal growing season for hay and pasture would be a mild winter, no winter injury,

no late freezes, timely rains, no drought, not too hot and a good long fall lasting until mid to late October, before a good hard freeze, he stated.

Farmers used more stored hay this year than in the past as livestock couldn’t graze on corn stalks as long as normal, said Barnhart. Some hay growers sold out earlier than normal this winter.

“I’ve talked to some producers who had to buy hay,” he stated. “Each farm is going to be different as far as surpluses and carry-over.”

As with last year, there will be pressure from western states to sell more hay in California because more irrigation water is being pulled from hay producers there, Barnhart commented.

That pressure may have an effect on Midwest states.

“Last year the long-term cash hay growers moved a lot of hay early,” said Barnhart. “I don’t know if that was in anticipation of the demand from California.

With similar national market conditions, and lower local on-farm hay inventories, it may be pointing to a tighter hay supply this season.”

SPRAY WITH PRECISION

It’s almost time to check alfalfa stands for winter injury. It’s possible to check now for winter kill, but keep in mind that plants that are experiencing winter injury are slow to green up in the spring.

The best time to check for winter kill or injury is when growth is four inches. Keep in mind that stand reductions should be expected each year.

Winter temperatures, snow cover and ice sheets can impact stand reductions, but other factors such as stand age, fertility, pH, harvesting frequency and grazing can cause stand to be more susceptible to winter damage.

Here’s how to assess: • For young stands; count the number of plants per square foot. Greater than 12 plants for the first production year and greater than eight plants for the second production year is a good stand.

• For older stands, count the number of stems per square foot. More than 54 stems will not limit yields; if there are fewer than 40 stems, replanting should be considered.

Don’t stop at counting plants or stems. Dig taproots and evaluate the health. Firm, white tissue is excellent and soft, brown tissue is dead. Yellow tissues indicates a dying root.

Here are two great resources with more detail: “Evaluating Hay and Pasture Stands for Winter Injury” from ICM News and “Alfalfa Stand Assessment: Is This Stand Good Enough to Keep?” from the University of Wisconsin.

USDA clarifies prescribed burn plan rules for CRP contract holders Landowners needing to conduct prescribed burns to meet mid-contract management requirements of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) contracts may utilize a variety of sources for writing prescribed burn plans.

“Prescribed burn plans may be written by the landowner, volunteer fire departments, Technical Service Providers, local County Conservation Boards, non-government organizations, state agency personnel or other knowledgeable person,” said NRCS State Conservationist Rich Sims of the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Iowa. “In Iowa, no formal certified training is required to write burn plans.”

Although NRCS employees cannot write burn plans, the agency has provided a Prescribed Burn job sheet for landowners to use as a planning tool.

Copies are available at ftp://ftpfc.sc.egov.usda.gov/IA/technical/PrescribedBurnin g2009.pdf.

John Myers, NRCS state resource conservation-

ist, highlights some key considerations when conducting prescribed burns: • Always notify your local fire department before the burn.

• Landowners are liable for damages caused by the burn.

• Monitor wind conditions to reduce chances of fire spreading from planned burn area.

• Be aware of how smoke may affect visibility on nearby roads and conditions at nearby facilities like hospitals.

Landowners may not conduct burns between May 15 and August 1 which is the primary nesting season for birds. This would result in CRP contract termination, according to Farm Service Agency (FSA) rules.

Financial assistance is not available for writing a prescribed burn plan. But it is available to eligible landowners for the costs associated with conducting the burn. Contact your local FSA office for more information.

There is significan’t risk in trading futures.

Lean hog trade has remained firm following our upside push last week due to the friendly Quarterly March Hogs and Pigs. Now spill over support from cattle, firm cash trade and chart buying have all been behind the support. After three days of trade this week we have the weekly net changes at $3.05 higher on the April contract and June is up over $1.22.

The cash market has jumped about $10 from the levels seen about two weeks ago. This has been especially supportive to the April futures, which have now rallied over $8. The cattle strength has been more impressive to me, which continues to be a supportive factor for pork, but demand needs to be there to support higher trade and support the higher prices.

Demand should be good near term, but as we move into the summer we need to watch to see if the hog numbers are indeed smaller as the Hog and Pig numbers suggested. We have been favoring using the previous high side of the range as an area to secure protection, at least via options. . We now have October up

in the $74-76 area which historically is very good and profitable level. Hedgers call with questions, the recent drop in corn and meal price along with the higher hog price has our margins looking very good.

We should start to look forward to later 2010 numbers soon.

CATTLE 4/8/10 Live cattle trade has maintained the firm tone this week with cash trade moving to $100 /cwt. The weekly net changes after three days of trade are $2.80 higher on April Live Cattle, which did see a new contract high.

June futures are up $1.22 and August feeders are up $2.12. Feeder cattle have also jumped to new highs.

Cash trade jumped to $100/$162, which was mostly $4 to $5 higher than the trade the past few weeks. The higher trade was mostly priced-in to the futures. The feeder cattle movement continues to reflect good placement interest as well as interest in buying calves to background. The third and fourth quarter feeder price movement, to the $115 level, is a good level to start looking at some futures or options for protection on fall/win-

ter calf sales. The cutout values have remained firm but no big jump occurred, so the higher cash trade does hurt packer margins. Wednesday’s cutout trade had choice at 164.62 and select at $163.55; if the cutout can hold these gains it does support cash trade in the $96-100 area.

The chart momentum remains up, so more shorts could get squeezed out to give us an even further upside move.

Hedgers call with questions. Make sure your focus remains on profitability and not ownership of expensive calves or exiting profitable hedges because it could have been or could be better. There is a risk of a brisk set back that will occur before we can talk about any type of confirmation of a top.

WHEAT 4/8/10

CORN 4/8/10

SOYBEANS 4/8/10

Wheat trade has bounced from oversold conditions this week and there is some light positive momentum still in place. The weekly July contract net changes after three days of trade are 17 higher in Minneapolis, 20 higher in Chicago and 21 higher in Kansas City. There were a few quality and weather items this week which helped the market bounce along with an absence of fresh sellers. We could argue the sellers were all in the market already and it’s natural to see a market bounce after big sell offs. The Chicago May futures did slip $1.40 from the early January high to the low this past week, and the market was down $1.69, or nearly 30%, from the high printed around Thanksgiving. The first aggregate USDA weekly winter wheat condition report showed good to excellent ratings at 65% versus 43% last year, which was negative. The expectations for colder temperatures have been one weather item which has helped the market bounce, but we are not fearful of much damage at this juncture. The weekly export sales were reported at 323,700 tons of old crop and 209,700 tons of new which combined were at the high side of expectations. The monthly USDA report on Friday is expected to show the 2009-10 carryover at 1 billion, the range of estimates is 971 million to 1.1 billion. Hedgers call with questions, continue to look forward at the carry in the futures, the carry is a good hedge asset at this time.

Corn trade has been mostly flat this week, but we saw a bounce on Wednesday due to oversold conditions; this has the May contract 12 higher on the week after three days of trade and December is up 11 cents. The lower prices last week did find some demand with ethanol scale down buying and some bigger export business. We do not believe end users will chase a rally here, but the uncertainty ahead of the planting season has kept sellers away amid the buying. There may be some additional buying nearterm, but the expected big USDA ending stocks number on Friday should limit buying. The April Monthly USDA World Agriculture Supply and Demand Estimates will be seen Friday morning. The average trade guess for the new 2009-10 ending stocks according to the DTN posted survey is 1.91 billion bushels versus 1.799 a month ago; the range of trade guesses is 1.72 to 2.15 billion. The USDA Quarterly Stocks report seen last week would suggest the carryover should be at 2 billion bushels. The lower livestock numbers have also been a bearish item in the market along with the expected 89 million acres of corn.

Supportive news this week has come from optimism in the export market due to talk of China buying corn. Granted China has been a big buyer of DDGs and will likely source any initial imports from closer origins such as Malaysia. Only if bigger issues arise in this growing season should we expect China to become a buyer of any big quantity of U.S. corn. The weather has slowed some field work this past week but we do not see the weather as a supportive item looking further into April. The weekly export sales report was an illustration of the recent demand at new lows. The weekly total was at 1.357 million tons, and there was a light net reduction for new crop. The major buyers were South Korea, over 600,000, and Japan, 280,000 tons. Hedgers call with questions; this is a nice little bounce to catch up on a few sales and to get a floor under production to lock-in a close to breakeven type number. Although we obviously have our growing season to get through, the supply side equation is big and could give us unfriendly prices later in the year.

Soybean trade is higher on the week heading into Thursday with May beans up 11 cents, meal is around steady and bean oil is up 102 points.

November new crop beans are up 15 cents on the week; of the negative USDA numbers last week planted 2010 soybean acres was not one of them.

The soybean planting intentions number was lightly lower than expected, so the flat to firm tone there was not a surprise. The weekly gains were mostly printed on Wednesday with the exception of soybean oil which broke out to the upside on Tuesday. In the big picture we remain concerned of the downside. The crude trade has been a positive influence for the soy complex, but it needs to hold strength. The weekly soybean export sales numbers were 205,700 tons of old crop and 238,100 tons of new; this was within expectations. Meal sales were good at 211,900 and bean oil sales low at 6,800 tons. The USDA report on Friday is expected to have the 2009-10 carryover up to 210 million versus the 190 million last month due to lower usage shown on the Quarterly Stocks report last week. The range of estimates is 170 to 242 million. Our expectation is for a 225 number. There were some heavy rains in South America which helped limit downside this week. Also there was a crowd looking for pressure this week; short covering showed up on Wednesday when it did not occur.

Hedgers we believe you should get caught up on desired sales levels if you have not and call us to discuss your individual situation.

Spring ovine parasite primer

by Dr. Dan Morrical, Iowa State University Extension Shepherd As we consider all the items that make raising sheep a challenge, internal parasites (worms) are right up there towards the top of the list.

A few facts on parasites will help us realize how important a strategic attack is for combating these organisms.

Since it spring, we need to realize that our pastures are not parasite larvae free. About 25 percent of the worm eggs shed last fall survived the winter and will hatch and develop into infective larvae as the weather continues to warm up. Under ideal conditions it takes 21 to 35 days from the time eggs are shed in the feces and deposited on the pasture until the larvae reach infective stage. The warmer the weather the faster they develop to reach infectivity stage.

Larvae also have enough nutrients that they can exist for one to two months in this infective stage.

The warmer the weather the faster they use up their food source and perish.

Lastly, some worms hibernate over winter in the sheep’s gut and become active egg layers in the spring. So ewes may have some worm load in the spring even though they have not consumed any larvae for six months.

Other new facts on the parasite issue: • Twenty percent of the ewes shed 80 percent of the eggs. Routinely treating the whole flock to treat 20 percent is not good use of anthelmintic and may lead to more rapid build up of resistance to the anthelmintic.

• We generally do not want to rotate anthelmintics. The exception to this is if we need to control tape worms.

• Sheep maintained in drylot should not have to be de-wormed.

• Winter born lambs that are pushed hard and kept in confinement should also not need to be dewormed.

The best times to de-worm ewes are just prior to or at lambing. The hormonal changes associated with lambing sends a message to the internal parasites and they become active and start laying eggs.

It is good to remove this worm burden so as to minimize the stress on the ewes and insure all her consumed nutrients can go to making milk for feeding her lambs rather than to mount an immune response to fighting internal parasites.

The second most important time to treat for internal parasites is just prior to pasture turnout.

Dry ewes on good pasture may not need to be treated again the remainder of the grazing season.

Lactating ewes and young lambs are much more susceptible to internal parasites.

Lactating ewes are more susceptible because their immune system is compromised by the high nutritional demands for lactation.

Young lambs have not developed any resistance to internal parasites so they are at a huge risk.

Additionally young lambs are trying to grow so that they have a higher nutritional requirement.

To improve the productivity of lactating ewes one needs to insure high quality feed from the pasture.

This can be done by managing the plants so that they are vegetative and highly palatable resulting in maximum intake.

Incorporating legumes also improves the nutritional status with a more energy and protein dense forage. Another advantage legumes offer is increased productivity in the hot summer months.

This matches the needs of the grazing flock because lambs start to compete with their dams for dry matter intake under short pasture condition.

Some producers have successfully used self fed soyhulls as a means of supplementing ewes and lambs on pasture.

The greatest challenge to parasite control is having clean pastures that we can move the ewes and lambs onto once we treat for internal parasites.

As discussed earlier larvae can be viable for 2-3 months on pasture. Additionally, with some eggs overwintering and hatching the next spring we cannot count on old man winter to make clean pastures every spring. Pastures that have not had sheep grazing for six months would be considered safe.

The six month down time is from January through June or July through December. Most operations cannot leave half their pasture acres lay idle to make them parasite free.

One option is to rotate between hay harvest and grazing. This technique is restricted to those areas which are flat enough for equipment.

The other option for rougher ground is to rotate animal species. Cows could graze for the first half the year and sheep for the last half of the year.

Around the first of July cows and sheep could be switched to the others pasture.

The last means of getting clean grass would be to stock pile forages starting in August and not graze

FAMANCHA is patented system of comparing a standard eyeball pictures with varying degrees of anemia to the ewe or lamb. This system has been heavily implemented in areas of the country that are seeing resistance to anthelmintics but only addresses haemonchous contortus (barber pole worm). This is the most prevalent parasite in Iowa. Only those animals which show symptoms of anemia are treated.

The FAMANCHA system requires lots of work as all sheep need to be caught and evaluated every two weeks. One needs to realize that FAMANCHA. The haemonchous feeds on blood over time causing anemia that will end in death.

Bottle jaw is an accumulation of fluids under the chin of severely infected sheep.

Generally, haemonchous does not result in diarrhea and dirty butts on lambs. For more reading on alternative parasite control see Dr. Ray Kaplan’s Web site http://www.scsrpc.org/SCSRPC/Participants/ka plan.htm. FAMACHA training will again be offered at this year’s Iowa Lamb and Wool Festival in Adel. See ISIA Web page for details.

them until November after the ground freezes. Very few eggs would be shed in November and most would not survive the winter. However, stock piling a pasture means we have to have more pasture land than the grazing herd needs. This is seldom the case in August and early September.

The biggest mistake all producers make is assuming all thin sheep are wormy.

For a true evaluation of the parasite load in the flock one needs to run fecal analysis. Your local veterinarian should be able to provide you with fecal egg counts. Generally, counts below 300 eggs per gram would not indicate the need for treatment.

Sioux Center acreage home to quality herd of Boer goats

by Emma Struve A cross country trip from an almond farm in Modesto, California, with an 11-head group of Boer goat does marked the beginning of Just Kiddin’ Boer Goats.

Adam and Robin Fedders met, married, and worked at Robin’s family’s orchard in California, though Adam is originally from Sioux Center.

When they first acquired goats they grazed in the retired almond orchard once the trees were removed. It is the natural preference of goats to eat brush, along with grass and grain, Robin explained.

They entered two of the “catch-able” goats in an open class show there, just for fun one weekend, and took second and third place.

The Fedders moved to Iowa in 2005 and took part of the herd with them. Adam’s family farms just five or six miles from their acreage.

They moved, Adam said, “To have a little place like this, an acreage, near a small town to raise our family.”

Adam and Robin have three sons, Jasper, age eight, four-year-old Everett, and Stetsen, who is three.

From that time, they have added breeding stock purchased in Iowa and Texas from well-known, and historically important breeder Don Smith. He was among those that imported the first Boer goats into this country from New Zealand.

“It felt like we had a little heritage getting those goats,” Robin commented.

The does are bred once a year, timed to kid in January and February so the kids will be weaned and of the appropriate size for sale as club projects.

Others are sold for meat; chevon is especially popular around Easter.

Adam, in addition to breeding and selling show goats, conducts clinics for those interested in learning about goat production and how to select and prepare a goat for showing.

Goats are bathed and clipped before shows.

Since goats can be kind of hyper, Robin said, the handler also needs to practice walking the goat on

a leash. It takes at least a week for the goats to get used to this.

The Fedders learned about goats and showing from attending shows and talking to other breeders and competitors.

Adam said, “In Boer goats, you are looking for meat and power.”

Robin elaborated that the goat’s conformation should include a Roman nose that is in a smooth curve from the nose through the horns, which arch back over the head. Boer goats typically have a red head and a white body. They should have a wide, flat back and sturdy, straight legs and feet, she added.

The American Boer Goat Association sanctions shows conducted in Iowa and additional information about breed standards are available at the organization’s Web site, www.abga.org.

For example, the Never Boering open show takes place at the Sioux County fairgrounds July 9 and 10. This is the fourth year of the show and more than 300 head are expected to be shown.

It has grown from just 10 head in the first year, Adam stated.

The annual Northwest Iowa Club Sale and Clinic that takes place in April each year draws buyers from the tri-state area.

In addition to raising goats, Adam is the president of the Iowa Meat Goat Association and Goat Superintendent for the Sioux County Youth Fair; he also works as a building inspector for Sioux Center.

As their kids get older - Jasper will be in his first year of 4-H this year - the Fedders plan to participate in additional shows.

“We’ll probably slowly build the herd up with top quality Boer goats,” Adam said.

They have saved back a couple does from last year’s kid crop and will breed them for the first time this year. Robin said the does are usually bred once they are at least a year of age.

and reduce drift. There is a fine line, however, between droplets that are too small (causing excessive drift) and too large (providing insufficient coverage). Look to your nozzle manufacturer for guidance on the recommended pressure. Lowdrift nozzles typically require a higher pressure to operate properly.

2. GAUGE THE WEATHER. Environmental factors can be critical to the control of spray drift.

Klein cites wind speed as one important example. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When wind speed increases, so does the potential for drift downwind of the sprayer,â&#x20AC;? Klein said.

Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ultrasonic weather sensors can help. A far cry from yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rudimentary weather vanes, sensors measure air temperature, humidity, dew point, barometric pressure, wind chill, wind direction and wind speed. The units are extremely compact and can be mounted inside a sprayer cab.

That means the applicator has continuous, up-todate weather data and can apply herbicides when they are least likely to drift.

3. CONTROL THE FLOW. Modulated flow controls reduce drift by rapidly pulsing each spray nozzle on and off. This allows pressure and droplet size to remain constant as the sprayer moves across the field at various speeds.

4. REV UP THE AIR SPEED. Air-assisted sprayers emit a high-velocity, downward air stream that pushes the spray droplets directly onto the targeted weeds or treatment area. As a result, they can reduce drift if used properly.

5. CREATE A BUFFER. Untreated zones around fields can serve as buffers that keep drift away from off-target sites.

6. ADD DRIFT RETARDANTS. If you use a traditional sprayer, special additives can be used to reduce the number of fine droplets. Make certain, though, that you select an additive especially designed for the type of nozzle and herbicide you use. Certain additives can be a minus when used with the wrong nozzle tip.

7. HOOD YOUR SPRAYER. By mounting hoods around the nozzles on a sprayer boom, you can create a physical barrier that reduces spray drift.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a simple but effective technique.

8. MONITOR THE BOOM HEIGHT. Extension specialists recommend keeping booms close to your weed target in order to decrease the possibility of downwind drift. But be careful to follow the manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instructions so you maintain the uniform spray pattern and coverage needed to control weeds effectively. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each of these approaches has its strong points,â&#x20AC;?

Klein said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In order to make sure weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using the optimal combination of techniques for each scenario, it is important for scientists, applicators, farmers and manufacturers to communicate closely and share best practices. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the strengths of WSSA. The organization brings everyone together to share research and explore the best science-based approaches for managing drift.â&#x20AC;?

What to expect in April

by Brian Hoops, President, Midwest Market Solutions, Inc. (Report as of April 5) Corn: The month of March, was a bearish month for corn as corn lost 44 cents from the previous month’s close.

In the prospective plantings report, the USDA estimated U.S. producers would increase 2010 corn by 2.298 million from last year to 88.798 million acres. This will be the second largest seeded acres estimate in history, trailing only the year 1946.

With the lower input values of corn, the profitability of corn will encourage additional acres of corn to be seeded this spring, providing a wet spring would prevent additional plantings.

Like the month of March, April will have commercial and seasonal traders buying weakness for a potential summer weather rally as the record large demand base will have end users very nervous about weather and this year’s growing season.

U.S. producers will begin seeding corn acres by mid-April and weather will become very important to pricing by May. If the month of April is wet and hampers producers planting efforts, look for December corn to rally in an effort to entice producers to plant corn later, rather than switch acres to soybeans.

Currently, the United States is experiencing a pattern of hot and dry weather; however this weather pattern is forecast to change to a cool and wet pattern the last week of April.

Soybeans: The month of March was bearish for soybeans as futures closed 20 cents lower in March compared to February.

In the prospective plantings report, the USDA estimated U.S. producers will need to plant

598,000 more acres in 2010. Producers do not appear willing to increase seedings more than this as profitability of soybeans versus corn favors corn at this time.

The quarterly stocks report and world ending stocks ensure the world has an adequate supply of soybeans, and the market is not signaling to producers to increase seeded acres in 2010.

In the month of April, the soybean market has one simple job, to rebound and compete again with corn this spring so it does not lose any acres.

In the acreage report, the USDA estimated the 2010 soybean acres at 78.098 million. This acreage forecast is the largest in history.

In April, soybeans should find support from an effort to return to profitability to encourage farmers to not switch from corn to soybeans. Also, a planting season that is slowed by heavy rains will encourage farmers to switch plantings of corn over to soybeans, therefore look for soybeans to maintain their premium to corn to ensure adequate supplies of soybean stocks.

Wheat: It was a lower month for wheat prices in March as Chicago wheat closed the month 68 3/4 cents lower than the previous month.

April is the month that the United States winter wheat crop is now in the key yield development time frame. Wheat has broken dormancy and will grow into the winter wheat harvest which starts in June.

April and May are the months where winter wheat yields will be made or lost. As in any key yield development timeframe, if April brings little moisture, prices will soar. If there is plenty of rain, prices will fall.

Our winter crop is about 70 percent of our total U.S. production, and goes mainly to the export market. Improved quality because of ample rain-

fall means better export business after harvest ends.

Crop ratings are above average for early April with Kansas at 70 percent good to excellent and Oklahoma at 66 percent good to excellent. Kansas and Oklahoma are our two largest winter wheat states. Texas has a rating of 60 percent good to excellent.

Our spring wheat crop is currently being seeded and producers will finish in May. Spring wheat represents about one third of our U.S. production, and mainly goes to U.S. millers for domestic use.

As recently as 1996-97, U.S. producers seeded approximately 19 million acres of spring wheat.

For 2010, the USDA is forecasting U.S. producers to seed 13.906 million acres this spring, up 4.8 percent from one year ago.

The large world ending stocks will be a limiting factor for wheat prices this spring as any loss of yield is made up for by the huge carryout levels.

BRINGING IN THE HERD Contined from page 8 It takes more finesse when working with sheep, he added. Dogs that work with cattle, especially stubborn cows, are trained to â&#x20AC;&#x153;gripâ&#x20AC;? them to establish a respectful relationship. The dog â&#x20AC;&#x153;gripsâ&#x20AC;? the stockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nose with its teeth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can tell on a dog when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to work or not,â&#x20AC;? he stated. Training begins anywhere from six months to a year of age, depending on the personality of the dog. The dogsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; temperament also determines how much time the handler has to spend with them, sometimes on a daily basis - especially in the early stages of training - and how long it takes before the dog is useable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Work to these dogs is just like play to any other dog,â&#x20AC;? stated Dukes.

When more experienced dogs come in proximity to livestock, their attention and concentration is focused on the animal, with just enough reserved to follow the handlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s directions.

Dukes called this â&#x20AC;&#x153;eye.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stress that natural ability enough,â&#x20AC;? he said. The innate skill is what helps the dogs to work out of the sight line of the handler.â&#x20AC;?

Though, he noted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to move, a border collie is going to herd.â&#x20AC;?

For this reason, it is important for the dogs to be contained when they are not working, he said.

It is an instruction Dukes gives to all those who get pups from him.

His dogs live in a converted hog house. One of his first collies even helped herd the hogs in and out of the pens and load them on trucks.

Dukes recalled having â&#x20AC;&#x153;brand Xâ&#x20AC;? dogs before he acquired his first border collie in 1990. He had a town job and in 1975 began farming.

Border collies, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;are so much smarter than any other dogâ&#x20AC;Śtheyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got an instinct to gather stock to you. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish I would have gotten into these things 20 years earlier than I did.â&#x20AC;?

Other herding dogs include heelers, also known as Australian cattle dogs, and Australian shepherds.

Dukes noted a big difference between border collies and heelers is that heelers instinctively drive stock away from the handler. The training, then, is undertaken in an almost opposite fashion, though both types of dogs can be taught to bring livestock towards and away from the handler.

The inspiration to get a herding dog, Dukes recalled, came after heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d spent at least an hour running around a feed lot, yelling. After that experience, he said he was all tired out but the calves really hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gone where he wanted them to anyhow. He figured there must be a better way.

With his first dog, Dukes learned training techniques from an experienced handler. He insisted this is the best way for a novice handler to learn workable, proven methods.

To learn more about dog training, Dukes joined the Nebraska Stock Dog Association and the Iowa Herding Dog Association; both organizations had clinics and training videos available.

In addition to organizational events, Dukes soon began participating in field trials and demonstrations. These field events take place across United States. Dukes attends trials primarily in Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri.

The trials involve either sheep or cattle and consist of a course with tasks such as driving the stock through a gate, around cones, into a pen, or into a chute. Depending on the level of compewww.iowafarmandranch.com www.iowafarmandranch.com www.iowafarmandranch.com www.iowafarmandranch.com

tition, novice to open (expert) classes, the dogs may also be required to separate the stock into two groups, called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;shed.â&#x20AC;?

The trials ask a little more of a dog than what they are needed for on the farm, Dukes said.

Dukesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dog Drew was the 2009 National Western Stock (which takes place in Denver, Colorado) Show Reserve Grand Champion and finished that course within two seconds of the grand champion. Points are also awarded to the tasks.

He commented, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When people give compliments on the dogs, it means more than all the trials you could win.â&#x20AC;?

At these field events, Dukes said he observes dogs to discover those that have capabilities he has not yet developed in his own and then he visits with the other handlers so is constantly learning.

Dukes also offers demonstrations with his dogs, for example at the local schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ag day, Living History Farms, and the Farm Progress Show.

He is the herding dog trial coordinator for the competition at the Adair County Fair; the trial takes place on July 25 Dukes even takes in dogs to train for other people. Within one to two months, he said, you can have a fairly useable herding dog.

While Dukes and his wife Audrey live on the family homestead, one of their daughters lives just across the section. Another daughter lives in Waterloo. The Dukes have four grandkids.
