Exploring cattle feeding under roof by Emma Kirk Iowa is experiencing an emerging trend in cattle production toward finishing beef cattle under roof either in monoslope buildings – those enclosed on three sides with a single pitch to the roof and a curtain to aid cross-ventilation – hoop barns, and even slotted floor barns over a pit. Factors driving producers to adopt these systems, which may involve deep bedding, are varied and unique to each situation. For example, Bill Couser, Couser Cattle Company in Nevada, Story County in central Iowa, commented,
May 2012
“I wanted to continue to grow and felt it was time to be under roof for…the time in Iowa…and ‘regulational’ considerations,” Couser commented. He added that his cattle feeding operation is in a comparatively heavily populated area so in deciding what type of structure to build in 2009 he took in to consideration blending in with the community and being cognizant of his neighbors. Brent Lorimore operates a newly constructed monoslope cattle feeding facility near Farragut in Fremont County southwest Iowa with brother Steve. He said, “We started looking at it maybe even as far back as 10 years ago…but it has been in the forefront of our minds.” His prior feedlot housed 1,000 head but Lorimore expressed concern that the he was not capturing optimum value in cattle performance, particularly when the animals
were fighting snow and mud. Lorimore offered that he has heard other producers talk about regulations as a driving factor to construct buildings but for him it was capturing performance gains. He also noted that at this time there are financial incentives and programs available to assist with construction. Dan Olson, senior environmental specialist with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources field office #4 in Atlantic, also noted as producers consider moving lots or changing their configuration “it opens up opportunity. “There has been a fair amount of shift due to funding available through state revolving loan funds and NRCS,” he continued, which provide low interest loans that can act as an encouragement. Olson did not connect the trend towards finishing cattle under roof to any specific recent regulatory
changes. “From an environmental regulation side, regulations haven’t changed a great deal, but we’ve learned some things…Iowa has started to look at open lots differently.” Olson offered as an example the consideration of solid settling basins, which he said remove a good deal of the pollutant load but do not necessarily change the water chemistry of liquid coming out of a feedlot. Other measures must then be taken to treat water before discharging it to the environment such as ground infiltration, or post-settling treatment with vegetation. “We are learning things about how to more effectively protect the environment from runoff,” Olson stated. “Some producers realized this has put the industry in a spotlight and if the (feedlot) is under a roof, there is no runoff.” FEEDING CATTLE . . .

With checkoff funding, the industry has been tracking beef tenderness for 20 years through the National Beef Tenderness Survey. The Beef Checkoff Program evaluates the tenderness of beef cuts within the industry every five years, as tenderness is a critical component of beef’s palatability or taste which drives consumer enjoyment and demand for beef. Results of the 2010/2011 survey showed approximately 64 percent of all retail cuts are labeled with a store brand and aged an average of 20.5 days compared to 22.6 days in 2005/2006. The aging period for retail cuts ranged from 1 to 35.8 days. In retail, the top blade steak and ribeye steak were found to be the most tender, whereas the bottom and top round steaks were the least tender cuts. Comparing retail cuts, consumer sensory panelists rated the top blade steak, the boneless ribeye steak, the boneless top loin steak, and the bone-in top loin steak the highest for overall likeability.
For foodservice cuts, the average aging time remained relatively constant at 28.1 days compared to 30.1 in 2005/2006. The aging period for foodservice cuts ranged from nine to 67 days. The most tender and flavorful foodservice cuts included the Top Loin and Ribeye. Nearly all steaks evaluated in the 2010/2011 National Beef Tenderness Survey were considered tender or very tender, and very similar to the previous study. However, aging was less consistent in the current survey, particularly in retail. Because adequate aging is one of the industry’s most valuable tools for improving tenderness consistency, education should be focused on the benefits of aging beef a minimum of 14 days. The least tender cuts are those from the round, suggesting the need for improved aging for round cuts and increased consumer education focused on proper preparation and cooking techniques to enhance the eating experience of leaner, less tender round cuts.

ISU fills faculty position in economics of cooperatives An Iowa State University faculty member will fill a research and extension position focused on the economics of cooperatives and working with Iowa cooperatives to address emerging issues. Keri Jacobs, an assistant professor of economics, will begin serving in the position on August 15. Jacobs joined the ISU faculty in 2010 with interests in
economics related to agricultural business, land-use decisions and agricultural policy. The Iowa Institute for Cooperatives, which represents 150 cooperatives in the state, has expressed its commitment to support Jacobs’ research and extension program. The nonprofit association currently is undertaking a fundraising project with a goal of
$1 million. “This is one of the most exciting periods in history for Iowa agriculture,” said David Holm, executive director for the Iowa Institute for Cooperatives. “Cooperatives play a significant role in Iowa agriculture and we enthusiastically look forward to working with Dr. Jacobs to address our members’ needs today and in the fu-
ture.” The cooperatives economist position is similar to one held for 31 years by Roger Ginder, an ISU professor of economics who retired in 2010. Ginder was a nationally recognized expert in cooperative financial and strategic management. In her new position, Jacobs will develop research and extension activities on
the economics of cooperatives and related organizations, with an emphasis on the agribusiness sector. Areas of activity may include the role of cooperatives in the evolving industrial organization of agricultural markets; vertical integration; innovation and product development; contracting; ownership, control rights and governance structures; organizational strategies; finance and the equity structure of cooperative firms; regulation and taxation of cooperative entities; and risk and risk-sharing in commodity markets. Jacobs’ extension and outreach plans include professional development opportunities for cooperative members, boards of directors and other cooperative leaders. She also will teach an undergraduate course in cooperative economics. Since joining Iowa State, Jacobs has worked on research related to conserva-
Keri Jacobs tion, bioenergy production and distribution, environmental and feed availability concerns for pork producers and other areas. She has taught courses in agricultural finance, farm business management and applied economic optimization. Jacobs, a native of Monticello, Iowa, earned a doctorate in economics from North Carolina State University and bachelor’s degree in business administration and economics from Coe College.

Scholarships awarded by agricultural organizations The Iowa Farm Bureau Federation (IFBF) awarded $1,000 scholarships for tuition to 180 students who plan to study agriculture at their chosen colleges and universities, totaling $180,000 disbursed. In addition, Clayton Robison of Henry County was named the recipient of the Daniel Johnson Memorial Scholarship, a one-time $500 award for a student from one of eleven counties in southeast Iowa. The scholarship is awarded in honor of the late Daniel Johnson, a former Iowa Farm Bureau director, farmer, volunteer firefighter and school board president. “These scholarships help students pursue their dreams and so many of those career aspirations include agriculture or support jobs in rural communities. We’re honored to help these future leaders get a start in their academic pursuits and help them with their educational goals,” said IFBF Community Resources Director Barb Lykins. First-time applicants for IFBF scholarships were asked to write an essay indicating the contributions they expect to make to agriculture and the rural community. They also were selected based on their academic achievement, financial need, community and extracurricular involvement and letters of recommendation. The Iowa Soybean Association (ISA) announced this year’s winners of the ISA scholarship program for Iowa high school seniors who are pursuing a degree in an agriculture-related field, including 10-$1,500 ag scholarships and one culinary arts, food and nutrition or foodservice scholarship. ISA President Dean Coleman said, “By providing these scholarships, the Iowa Soybean Association shows it is looking to help provide agriculture a continuing pool of potential young leaders. It also shows that these young individuals, as well as the companies who help support our scholarship fund, believe in the future of agriculture in Iowa.” Adam Striegel was designated as the winner of the Keith and Virginia Smith Scholarship awarded annually by the Keith Smith and Virginia Smith Family Foundation. Dr. Keith Smith is a pioneer in soybean research who began his career in soybeans as the research director for the American Soybean Association. He has been responsible for much of the innovative applied science being conducted on soybeans throughout the United States. Although retired, Dr. Smith continues in directing soybean research for many of the soybean checkoff boards. In addition, a culinary arts, food and nutrition or foodservice scholarship in the amount of $1,000 will be awarded to Ashley Moyna from Elkader. The culinary arts, food and nutrition or food service scholarship is personally funded by Linda Funk, executive director of The Soyfood Council, who serves as a food industry liaison and resource for soyfoods. The Pork Checkoff and PIC have 15 scholarships to college students around the United States as part of their strategy to develop the pork industry's human capital for the future. The 15 student recipients hail from 11 universities and seven swine-related fields of study. Three Iowa high school seniors will receive scholarships from the Iowa Cattlemen’s Foundation. Winners Sara AlMazroa, Peru; Joshua Sterling, Hedrick; and Katelyn Warin, Maloy will each receive $1000 from the Youth Beef Team (YBT) scholarship program. In addition, Al-Mazroa and Sterling will receive an additional $500 because they completed an online course called Masters of Beef Advocacy (MBA). Each scholarship candidate provided a written applica-
tion, and took part in a personal interview and made a presentation on a beef industry issue during the final judging process in Ames on April 7. Scholarship judge Joanne Tupper of Ionia said “The applicants this year continued to raise the bar with their creativity and wealth of knowledge regarding the beef industry and all of its components.” The Iowa Cattlemen’s Foundation has awarded more than $54,500 in YBT Scholarship support since 1994.

Roofed feeding systems must be managed properly FEEDING CATTLE, from Page 1
Monoslope buildings to house cattle may be constructed with solid or slatted floors. Most use a deep bedded system. Corn stalks are frequently utilized for bedding either provided to cattle in bales or shredded before being blown into the building as shown here. On the cover: An overview of the monoslope building constructed at the Couser Cattle Company in Nevada, Story County in central Iowa, in 2009 shows cattle feeding at the bunk opposite a curtain open for ventilation. Photos courtesy the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association
Beth Doran, Iowa State University Extension beef field specialist, weighed in, “With increased water quality regulation, producers are concerned about runoff control… There is a reduced potential with monoslope buildings.” Another aspect Doran pointed out, “Producers realized, too, with any deep bedded facility, it takes typically less land than outside.” A dirt lot with a mound requires as much as 250 square feet of space per head while a building reduces the required amount of area to about 50 square feet, she stated. This is particularly important with high land prices as space that had been used for feedlots can be returned to production. The construction of monoslope buildings or other roofed cattle feeding structures “has been an increasing trend for at least the last five years, maybe the last 10 years,” Doran said. She recommended that producers considering the move towards this type of management system first examine the cost of the transition for their system
and the benefit they will derive. Benefits may be more seasonal than year-around, Doran added, as cattle under roof will be alleviated from having to contend with mud and snow. “We’ve been really happy,” Lorimore said about his new setup; the first cattle were moved into the building in December 2011. He noted that feeding cattle in the monoslope has required more management on a daily basis: handling manure and bedding. A positive trade-off is not
having to deal with mud and snow, Lorimore added. Although he has not yet closed out a pen, Lorimore stated cattle that have been weighed have demonstrated “real gains in feed efficiency.” In selecting a contractor to construct the monoslope building Lorimore said he toured existing structures to see what he wanted and sought out an experienced company. Couser explained that his monoslope building is constructed with a 26.5-degree pitch to the roof and the building is open to the
south so the cattle are shaded in the summer and the sun shines on them in the winter. In this way the environment inside the barn is typically cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter – by up to 20 degrees – than the outside air temperature. He concurred that it is up to the individual producer what type of building to construct but any roofed feeding system takes a lot of good management. Couser assumed management of an operation in 1977 that, when constructed in the mid-1960 was
The stocking density of cattle is greater when housed in deep bedded facilities including monoslope and hoop barns than compared to outside feedlots.

state-of-the-art, with two outdoor pens, a silo, and two barns that could house 200 head of cattle. In addition to cattle, Couser is involved in seed and crop production. He said “We’re now beyond trying to do the right thing with our farm and we’re taking a proactive approach to livestock.â€? The majority of the old buildings on Couser’s farm were removed to make way for a facility that now has capacity for 5,200 head, although the change has been a gradual, but steady, process of doubling every several years. The methodology of expansion has been to look to the future. “We’ve been out front trying to develop new technology,â€? Couser stated. “I don’t really care about today; today’s the past‌If you’re starting to fall behind you’re going to struggle to compete.â€? To obtain necessary information to stay competitive Couser said he goes to producer meetings, conventions and stays attuned “to what’s available on the internet.â€? A key resource for him has been networking with other producers and cattle workers in both the livestock and ethanol industries. It has been his observation that management with
the monoslope system “boils down to the weather conditions.� For example, during the first year after construction, Couser said he spent 90 percent of his time scraping outside the pens because of the terrible winter that dumped lots of snow. However, Couser can also share that he has seen improvement in feed conversion, which he attributes to a consistency in the cattle’s environment. Based on his experience with the monoslope system, he would recommend the buildings to other cattle producers looking to change or expand their operations. “Regulations and compliance are never going to get easier,� he remarked. “The investment (can) allow for adding the next generation.� An added benefit of a roofed finishing structure is that deep bedding systems are an outlet for cornstalks. By utilizing the corn stalks that need to come off fields, manure as a commodity, and further linking his feedlot into the ethanol supply and byproduct system as a user of distiller’s grains as a feedstuff, Couser takes advantage of his operation going “full circle.� Although not a revolutionary idea – the integra-

A feed bunk running the length of the building is accessible from a single alley. tion of multiple production systems within a farm – Couser has opened his up for examination and inquiry by outside agencies including John Deere and the NRCS studying residue management, the EPA looking at alternative feedlot design, and even “mommy bloggers� from the costs hosted on Midwest farm tours by the Iowa Corn Growers Association. Research is underway on deep bedded cattle feeding systems, Doran said. In fact, she is involved in a four-year study on the effect of different management strategies on air emissions and air quality.
Doran has also examined ammonia levels at the surface of the bedding pack and determined that ammonia release was most a function of where cattle had bedded down and just gotten up or recently urinated – basically a random effect. To reduce ammonia levels the bedding can be changed more frequently – completely removed after three weeks – but that contributed to the increase in presence of other more odorous compounds than the accumulation of a deep pack. Ultimately, Doran stated, air quality is a function of the management of cur-

tains to control air flow for ventilation. Many monoslope buildings have a split curtain; the top rolls down about two feet and a larger, second curtain opens the rest of the way. For producers seeking additional information, Doran remarked that because the roofed systems are comparatively new, limited materials are available. “There are still many things we don’t know,� she said. Producers can look forward to a publication now underway as a joint project between beef specialists at Iowa State University and Dr. Don Jones, professor emeritus of agricultural en-
gineering, along with additional contributors from Purdue University called “Cattle Feeding Buildings in the Midwest,� which will be available during the summer of 2012. A hardcopy of the approximately 20-page publication will be distributed through the MidWest Plan Service (MWPS) at Iowa State University, which is now taking pre-orders. MWPS will offer the publication for a small fee and also provides shipping for postage costs. For more information on how to obtain a copy of “Cattle Feeding Buildings in the Midwest� call 515-294-4337 or see www.mwps.org.

MAY 2012
“Trottin’ for Taylor” 2012 planned for June Cross-Iowa horseback ride raises awareness about Batten Disease, new donation opportunities available by Emma Kirk High school students at Charter OakUte recently received a message of inspiration to use their healthy bodies and ample abilities to set and achieve goals while offering kindness to others when they are able. Tammy Mohr, grandmother and owner of AK Corral in Ute, was the speaker and she was sharing her experiences on the 2011 “Trottin’ for Taylor” ride across Iowa to raise awareness about the debilitating degenerative condition afflicting her grandson for whom the ride was named. Taylor was diagnosed with Batten Disease four years ago; his struggle and to raise funds for medical research about his condition inspired Mohr to conduct the more than 300-mile ride, which she is reprising in June of 2012. “We both think what Tammy is doing is absolutely wonderful!” commented Ashley and Nathan Mohr, Taylor’s stepmom and dad, also parents to 20month-old William. Ashley continued that she and Nathan are hopeful that each year “Trottin’ for Taylor” will gain more attention and help people, even doctors, become more aware of this rare disease. This year’s trip will take Mohr and her support crew with a truck and horse trailer from the Mississippi River to the Missouri River in about two weeks. Also accompanying Mohr will be family members, friends, and W.D. Brooks owner and driver of a covered wagon. In addition to Brooks’ team, Mohr will travel with four horses and each day traverse an average of about 22 miles, which takes about six hours. Overnight stops are planned for fairgrounds, accommodating private lodgings, and even businesses with enough space for the people and animals along the way. Brooks and Mohr became acquainted during the first “Trottin’ for Taylor” ride in 2011, and in the fall he recommended Mohr to be an honorary member of the Ox Bow Company. Mohr explained simply, “Ox Bow is a group of folks that do charitable rides.” For the 2012 “Trottin’ for Taylor” ride the Ox Bow Company offered assistance with kick-off activities, which will commence in Muscatine on Saturday and Sunday, June 2 and 3. Saturday evening Ox Bow member and artist Bruce E. Brown is hosting a dance with admission proceeds to benefit Batten Disease research. The band performing that evening will be “Fifth of Country.” While in Muscatine, Mohr as well as her horses, family and friends accompanying her on the ride will be staying at the Agricultural Learning Center. Joel
Edge, manager of the center, is going to produce a benefit auction with the proceeds to benefit both the “Trottin’ for Taylor” effort and the non-profit Agricultural Learning Center. Mohr will accept donations to be auctioned and haul them to Muscatine as she travels to the ride’s starting location. “This year every place I’ve called, they’ve said, ‘Sure, you can stay here!’,” Mohr stated, with amazed relief. As Mohr and the others set out from Muscatine on June 4, Dr. Beverly Davidson, her daughter Erin, and two others who work with her in the lab, graduate student Mark Schultz and research scientist Luis Tecedor, will join the “Trottin’ for Taylor” ride. Another special event during the trip is time set aside to meet a family in Kalona whose son, a couple years younger than Taylor, is also diagnosed with Batten Disease. Dawson Telliho’s family and Taylor’s try to schedule trips to their Iowa City doctor at the same time, which helps build a community of support. Dawson is a couple years younger than Taylor and was diagnosed with the degenerative disorder at 10 months of age. Support for families affected by Batten disease is very important. “Our lives changed forever when this (Taylor’s diagnosis) happened,” Ashley and Nathan stated. “We’re reminded every day, not only of what we have to go through watching Taylor but the struggles he has to go through…you don’t realize until you go through something like this how the smallest things can make the biggest impact.” After Kalona, “Trottin’ for Taylor” will travel to South English. Through an Internet search of potential business contacts in the area Mohr became acquainted with Ken and Barb Harris, owners of a Peruvian Paso Fino horse farm, who offered their home and facilities for lodging during the overnight stop. Riders will stay two nights at the Knoxville fairgrounds, which is associated with the raceway. On Sunday, June 10, Brooks will host “cowboy church” and the group may coordinate an event with the New Virginia Saddle Club. Beginning in May and during the ride Crawford County and surrounding area participating businesses will have available for sale “Trottin’ for Taylor” horse shoes for $1 each. All proceeds from the sale will go towards Batten Disease research. Also available for purchase are “Trottin’ for Taylor” tshirts at a cost of $20 by contacting Mohr or at the AK Corral in Ute.
Batten Disease and Tyler Tammy Mohr, Ute grandmother, has watched her oldest grandson Taylor undergo a change from a vital toddler who loved to ride horses and four wheelers over the course of four years to an eightyear-old boy who no longer can speak, see, or move on his own. The family struggled to understand what was happening to Taylor as his development slowed and he began to undergo a transformation. Within 18 months, Taylor was diagnosed with Late Infantile Batten Disease at the age of four. “The one thing this disease has not robbed him of is his hearing. He loves to listen to music and movies,” Mohr said. Dr. Beverly L. Davidson, Ph.D., with the University of Iowa, who conducts research on Infantile and Late-Infantile Batten Disease along with other genetically inherited neurologically degenerative diseases, explained that Batten Disease is a recessive genetic disease, which means both parents have to be a carrier of the same genetic mutation that then has to be passed along to their child for the child to be affected by the disease. Carriers do not express any symptoms. Batten Disease is the most common neurodegenerative disease in children, she stated. Davidson illustrated that Batten Disease is caused by a protein deficiency in certain cells of the brain. The absent protein would be responsible for “garbage disposal in the cell.” Since it is not there, a back up of toxic “garbage” occurs in the cells that causes the cells to die. This cell death causes the loss of vision, seizures
and psychological development problems. “Generally, children do pretty well the first few years but as they become older, they become more debilitated,” Davidson stated. In Late-Infantile Batten Disease the life expectancy is just 10 to 15 years. Davidson called Batten Disease a “uniformly fatal disorder.” She explained that her interest in the disease was spurred by an invitation from the Batten Disease Support and Research Association in the late 1990s to consider researching the disorder. Until such a time as Davidson or other researchers develop a process to treat Batten Disease children affected by it only receive palliative care. She did note that genetic testing is available for parents to determine if they are potential carriers of the recessive genetic mutation responsible for causing Batten Disease. In the future it is hoped that Batten Disease will be among genetic diseases screened for in infants because if a treatment is developed, early diagnosis will be key to successful application of the treatment. Money raised through “Trottin’ for Taylor” – now in its second year – helps support Davidson’s ongoing research. Mohr will be accepting donations on behalf of the University of Iowa at 42883 – 270th Street, Ute, IA 51060. Alternatively, donations may be sent directly to the University of Iowa at P.O. Box 4550, Iowa City, IA 52244. Donations should be made payable to University of Iowa Batten Research (in honor of Taylor Mohr).
MAY 2012
One of the first speeches Mohr gave publicly was to a 4-H club in Red Oak during the 2011 “Trottin’ for Taylor” ride, the prospect of which made her very nervous, she remembered. Mohr shared the pep talk she gave herself: “Tammy, this is not about you, get over that and get out there and talk about (Batten) disease and Taylor; that’s what it’s about. Once I got past that, it was a lot easier.” Since the 2011 “Trottin’ for Taylor” presentations have included to the Emerald Club in Storm Lake and recently for students at the Charter Oak-Ute High School. “The one up in Storm Lake went wonderfully; talking to these kids – it’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done,” Mohr recalled with surprise. “My main purpose was for these kids to (realize) you have a healthy body. You can do and be anything. Taylor will never, ever, ever have that chance,” she said. “When you have a desire and a passion for something, set your mind to it, go after it, and you can achieve it, no matter how hard it is. My goal was to inspire these kids to do something with their lives, don’t just go idly through it.” Mohr added, “I also stressed for these kids, on my ride across Iowa, every single day there was an act of kindness. It doesn’t matter how small you think it is if you do this one little thing, it really does matter. If you’re ever given the opportunity to do something good for someone else, do it, because, you know what, it will bless you even more. Although, I don’t know how I could have had it any better than I had it last year…If I changed or inspired one kid, it was totally worth it.” Ashley and Nathan Mohr reiterated the importance of kind gestures, “We work every day to make sure Taylor has the best quality of life possible…a simple smile, a hello, or a hug goes a long way.” For more information about the ride – guest riders are welcome – contact Mohr at 712-269-1461.

Governor Terry E. Branstad will lead a trade mission to Brazil and Chile July 21 through 28, with the aim to expand trade opportunities for Iowa companies and products. The Iowa Economic Development Authority’s (IEDA) International Trade Office will coordinate the trip, and Iowa companies in all industry sectors are invited to participate in the mission. Brazil is Iowa’s sixth-largest trading partner, with exports exceeding $527 million in 2011 – a nearly 50 percent increase compared to 2010. Chile is Iowa’s 19th-largest export destination, with exports of more than $88 million in 2011. Branstad said the goal is to increase overall Iowa exports by 20 percent. "The trade mission will help build on Iowa's success in trading with Brazil and Chile and will continue to strengthen our partnership with these countries," said IEDA Director Debi Durham. "Both Brazil and Chile remain key destinations for many Iowa products so it is important that we continue to have a presence there." Visits to Sao Paulo and Porto Alegre, Brazil, and Santiago, Chile, are part of the Iowa delegation’s itinerary. Highlights will include meetings with government and industry association officials, briefings on each market, and “Growing Iowa’s Global Partnerships” events. Iowa companies will participate in meetings specific to their market entry or expansion needs. Companies interested in participating can learn more about the trade mission at www.iowaeconomicdevelopment.com/intlevents/downloads/BrazilChil e.pdf. The deadline for application is May 15, 2012.

Corn grows with rain, warmth by Emma Kirk With the majority of corn in the ground, Iowa was fortunate to receive rain to refill subsoil moisture and warmth to spur germination and emergence. As the 2012 growing season is underway Iowa State University Extension agronomists took some time to share their observations and recommendations. Contributing to this month’s survey: John Holmes: With Extension since 1977, Holmes specializes in corn & soybean management, pest identification & management (weed, insects, plant disease, soybean cyst nematode), soil fertility and soil survey use. He serves counties in north central Iowa including Worth, Cerro Gordo, Humboldt, Wright, Franklin, Webster, Hamilton, and Hardin. Paul Kassel: Serves northwest and north central Iowa including Dickinson, Emmett, Clay, Palo Alto, Kossuth, Winnebago, Hancock, Buena Vista, Pocahontas, and Sac counties. Kassel has made a few paper presentations at the North Central Weed Science Society and in 2011 was one of the authors of the peer-reviewed journal article “Using Ground Eggshells as a Liming Material in Corn and Soybean Production.” Mark Licht: Serves central Iowa out of his Nevada office including Carroll, Guthrie, Greene, Dallas, Boone, Warren, Polk, Story, Marion, Jasper, and Marshall counties. His areas of expertise include conducting educational programs for agronomic resource management with emphasis in conservation and land use, manure nutrient management, soil and water quality, soil fertility, soil survey use, and crop production.
Q
Please provide a planting update. Have any of the rain events in your areas been substantial enough to cause washing or standing water that will necessitate replanting? Holmes: Farmers in our area are about 70% finished planting corn. We have 10-15% of that corn has emerged. We’ve had scattered heavy rain across our area during last week. Some of those storms did leave standing water in fields. We did see sheet and rill erosion in fields with low residue levels. Re-planting won’t be necessary. Kassel: We have about 15% of the corn remaining to be planted. There will be some replant because of the heavy rains in northern Kossuth County. Crop emergence looks good. Licht: Planting progress on the corn side – factoring in today (May 9) – will be around 80% done with corn. Farmers have been out of fields for about two weeks, with the exceptions of last Saturday. Farmers felt that they needed the rain so there’s not been a lot of com-

plaining. They are well on their way to getting corn done and some have started planting soybeans, up to 20%. Very little to no replanting has been done, as too wet areas just weren’t planted yet. Rains for the most part have been good rains and no torrential downpours and tile systems have been able to keep up. We have had two or three erosive rainfall events. The other side of it is, last fall was really good – anyone who wanted to get fall tillage done, did. Also tiling was done over winter. Because of the mild winter, trees/timber were cleared out and areas are blacker than normal so susceptible to erosion. Some producers have expressed frustration with accumulated residue and implemented vertical tillage this year.
Q
How are weather related delays in corn planting going to effect decision making and prioritizing for the next few weeks of spring field work (fertilizer, herbicide, beans, etc.)? Holmes: I’ve just had one farmer ask about shifting away from corn to soybeans. These delays won’t affect the crops that are yet to be planted – the farmers will still plant corn in the fields they had planned for corn. Some farmers had wanted to apply pre-emergence herbicides using 32% liquid nitrogen as the carrier on fields planted earlier. Those fields are now emerged and have not been sprayed. They are now taking the herbicide or the liquid nitrogen out of the mix. Kassel: It looks like there will be five distinct corn planting dates in northwest Iowa. There was corn planted the week of April 2, the week of April 11, a lot of corn planted the week of April 23, and April 30. Even though a lot of farmers will finish up this week (by May 4), I am guessing with the predicted rain this weekend, some farmers will not finish until the week of May 7 (courtesy Kassel’s Crop Watch blog). Licht: Overall, no. I wouldn’t recommend changing management practices or hybrids at this stage of the game. With well adapted hybrids, producers can expect 95% of yield potential if planted before May 15. Everyone got a good jump on herbicides and fertilizers all got done.
Q
Just after planting commenced, we experienced a week or so of cool weather and now are back in a pattern of above normal temperatures. How is this affecting the crop so far? Holmes: Not at all – everything looks good. Licht: Corn planted prior to April 12 was in two and a half or three weeks and took a full 120 growing degree days to get out of the ground. Overall it emerged really

Q
Given the unusually warm temperatures – are noxious weeds going to be more prevalent, more difficult to control, etc.? Holmes: Emerged weeds are more of a problem this year. Farmers are needing to add a second herbicide to control some of the glyphosate resistant weeds. There are many excellent options, but of course, those cost more money. Kassel: There are some concerns on herbicide applications - pre-emergence corn herbicides - with windy rainy weather. But there are options. Concern with large lambs quarter, smartweed, etc., in corn and soybean fields. Some lambs quarters are six to eight inches tall already and may survive pre-plant tillage or may be difficult to control with a turndown or on no-till acres. Licht: Early planted fields’ weeds were fairly easily controlled. Fields being planted now and soybeans’ weeds are getting tall for control with burndown and residuals are no longer an option. But there are options available for control. Producers may consider reevalutating fields for a second treatment for escapes.
Q
Since that cattle is a topic of interest this month. How are pasture and hay fields looking in your area? Can you provide any type of outlook for productivity/profitability this season? Forage management recommendations? Holmes: Pastures look good although some of the low areas flooded during the recent heavy rains. Hay has recovered from the early frost injury; most is in bud stage and will be cut before long. The recent rains were really good news for hay producers. The subsoil moisture is nearly recharged and this will carry the hay crop during July and August when rainfall is short. Kassel: Hay and pasture looks good. Frost in April, on the 10th, 11th, and 12th, did not damage the alfalfa as badly as thought. Licht: Hay, alfalfa, grasses, and pastures are all ahead of schedule. Producers will get a little better feed value and carry through from pastures. Alfalfa was damaged by frost in April but overall recovered very well. However, where the crop was about four weeks ahead of average it is now been set back by about two weeks and is about two weeks ahead of schedule now.

well. This corn was reduced by one to two percent by seedling vigor issues. April 23 to 26 planted corn is starting to emerge and is looking really good. I don’t expect any problems with corn emerging planted after that unless it received a really heavy rain and there is soil crusting.

One face among thousands in the cattle industry Vetter faces challenge to increase efficiency, profit margin by Gordon Wolf As a life-long cattlefeeder, Rick Vetter of rural Westside knows how to raise beef efficiently and realizes the impact of cattle production on the local economy. He also knows the value of beef in people’s diet and the importance of personalizing the message of the cattlemen. “It’s important to be a member of the cattlemen’s organization and to promote beef,” said Vetter, a member of the Crawford County Cattlemen’s Association board. “We need people talking about beef and need faces of producers to go along with the information about the industry.” Vetter was raised in the cattle feeding industry. His grandfather, Herman, raised cattle on a farm a mile south of where Vetter lives and farms. His father, Harvey, also raised cattle on that farm and in 1955 purchased the farm where Vetter produces cattle and crops today. Vetter started farming on his own in 1980. It wasn’t a foregone conclusion that Vetter would raise cattle. But after attending Iowa State University and then Western Iowa Tech Community College, he said he just migrated back to farming. “I enjoy the freedom and working outside,” Vetter explained. He also faces each day’s challenges head-on, and today it seems as though more challenges are created off the farm than on. A recent off-the-farm challenge was the social media smear campaign against lean finely textured beef (LFTB), derisively called “pink slime.” LFTB is produced by using high-technology food processing equipment to separate lean meat from fat, according to information from the American Meat Institute (AMI). The AMI said use of technology to process LFTB prevents the waste of valuable, lean, nutritious, safe beef. VETTER . . . Page 6B

Workshop offers one-on-one help for farmers new to USDA Specialty crop farmers, organic producers and other farmers unfamiliar with working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and its partner agencies are invited to learn how USDA can help them protect their land and be more productive by attending a workshop on June 5 in Woodward. The workshop will include information about financial and technical assistance for farmers, presentations from participating farmers, requirements for participating in USDA programs as well as an opportunity to make future appointments or sign up for assistance. The workshop will run from 9 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. The Woodward meeting will take place at the Camp Mitigwa Boy Scout Camp, 1798 Magnolia Road. Lunch and the opportunity to apply for limited mileage reimbursement are available to those who preregister by May 21.
For more information or to register contact Carman Rosburg, 515232-0048, crosburg@prrcd.org “By attending these workshops farmers will learn about NRCS program opportunities such as the Conservation Stewardship Program, the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), and other programs and services. “Specialty crop and organic farmers will be especially interested in the financial assistance funds for high tunnels or organic farming practices offered through EQIP,” said Warren Johnson, executive director of the Iowa League of Resource Conservation and Development, which is sponsoring the workshop. To help staff provide the most useful information as possible, those who attend the workshop are asked to bring the location of their farm or acreage, with a map, if one is available.

Farmland rental rates show continued strength in 2012 Anyone who is involved with the rental market for Iowa farmland knows that rental rates have been pushed significantly higher by the favorable corn and soybean prices farmers have enjoyed since 2010. The trend continued in 2012. Results from the most recent Iowa State University Extension and Outreach rental rate survey estimated the 2012 average cash rent for Iowa corn and soybean land at $252 per acre, an increase of $38 per acre or 18 percent from last year. “This is the largest one-year increase since the statewide survey was started in 1994,” said William Edwards, ISU Extension economist. “Average rents were higher in all nine crop reporting districts, with increases ranging from $57 per acre in north central Iowa to $16 per acre in south central Iowa.” The $57 per acre increase in the north central district represents a 26 percent increase; the south central $16 per acre increase, a 9 percent increase. The 2012 increase tops the 2011 $30 per acre increase which now stands as the second largest increase recorded. High quality land showed the largest
increase in rents. Estimated rents for land in the high third of each county increased by an average of 20 percent, but estimated rents on low third quality row crop land increased by only 15 percent. “In many counties, respondents indicated that typical rents were $400 to $500 per acre or more for the higher quality land,” Edwards said. Typical rental rates for land growing oats and hay also were reported, as well as rental rates for grazing pasture and corn stalks. This year rental rates for allowing hunters on farmland also were included. The intent of the Iowa State survey is to report typical rents in force, not the highest nor the lowest values heard through informal sources. Rental values were estimated by asking more than 3,000 people familiar with the land market what they thought typical rates were in their county. The number of responses received this year was 1,419. Of the total responses, 37 percent came from farmers, 28 percent from landowners, 16 percent from professional farm managers, 16 percent from lenders and 3 percent from other professionals.

Two 4-H members named Iowa’s top youth volunteers Communities and youth across the state have benefited from Reach Out Iowa, a program that empowers youth to make a difference in their communities. This year, the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, a nationwide program honoring young people for outstanding acts of volunteerism, named Kayla De Weerd, 14 of Hull, and Hannah Jorgensen, 13 of Adair, Iowa’s top two youth volunteers for 2012. Both De Weerd and Jorgensen were part of their local 4-H clubs and are completing their projects with Reach Out Iowa. The Reach Out Iowa initiative uses service learning as a tool to help youth become involved in solving community problems. The goal of the program is to strengthen communities by empowering youth to step up and make a difference. Service learning involves more than traditional community service and has six components: conducting a community investigation, preparing for service, taking action, reflecting on experiences, demonstrating what was accomplished and celebrating success.
Kayla De Weerd, a 14year-old from Hull in Sioux County, developed a nutrition and physical activity program at her junior high school. Photos submitted
Hannah Jorgensen, a 13year-old from Adair in Adair and Guthrie counties, organized a campaign to make personal care kits and sew pillowcases for families in transition.
Youth, including De Weerd and Jorgensen, have followed these steps as they complete their projects. “This project confirms what we see in 4-H; when you give young people the opportunity to lead, they’ll step up and lead,” said Judy Levings, assistant director for Iowa State University Extension and Outreach 4-H Youth Development. “These youth are showing their communities that they are valuable citizens with voices to be heard.” De Weerd, a freshman
at Boyden-Hull High School, obtained a $1,500 grant to pilot a nutrition and physical activity program at her junior high school and gave presentations to educate others about how they could implement similar programs in their schools. She became interested in health issues after her older brother spoke in front of her fifth grade class about childhood obesity. “It is a very pressing health issue facing youth in our nation today,” she said. “By making healthy lifestyle choices now, youth can help eliminate
the consequences of unhealthy life choices that can follow into adulthood.” After she won the $1,500 grant from the Iowa Department of Education and ISU Extension and Outreach, she implemented a series of activities to encourage a healthy lifestyle among students. De Weerd now gives presentations about her program to professional and business people across the community, as well as to middle school students and teachers throughout the state. She applied for a $500 mini-grant last year, which enabled her to create a game that communicates her message about childhood obesity to elementary school students. “Volunteering is so important because it creates a better community, which creates a better state, which creates a better world,” said De Weerd. Jorgensen, a seventhgrader at Adair-Casey Junior-Senior High School, organized a campaign to make personal care kits and sew pillowcases for families in transition from a local homeless shelter to more permanent quarters. Her older brothers had volunteered at Micah
House, a homeless shelter for families, and told her about the children they encountered there. “I thought it would be cool to do something for the kids and families who live there,” she said. She began her project by interviewing officials at the shelter to learn more about the needs of the people it serves. She applied for and received a $700 grant to purchase kit items and material for the pillowcases. She placed boxes at her church, school and a local grocery store to collect donations from the public. After recruiting dozens of student and adult volunteers, she went to work. Just in time for Christmas, in 2011, she delivered 90 personal kits and 90 pillowcases to the shelter. Currently she is collecting books and clothes for the kids at the shelter. As state honorees, De Weerd and Jorgensen will each receive $1,000, an engraved silver medallion and a trip in early May to Washington, D.C., where they will join the top two honorees from each state and the District of Columbia for several days of national recognition events. Youth and adults who
want to become involved in the Reach Out Iowa program complete a service learning orientation and learn about the key components: how to conduct a community investigation, prepare for service, take action, reflect on experiences, demonstrate what was accomplished and celebrate success. ISU Extension and Outreach 4-H Youth Development directs Reach Out Iowa, through a grant from the Iowa Commission on Volunteer Service. The funding helps offset the direct costs of the service learning projects including supplies, transportation costs, journals, reflection tools and staffing costs. Levings explained that Reach Out Iowa’s longterm goal is to positively change community perceptions of youth. “We want community groups to involve young people in decision making,” she said. “We want young people to have a say in what happens in their communities.” The Reach Out Iowa program will continue until August 2012. For more information on how to get involved, contact Levings at jlevings@iastate.edu.

A wedding, a truck & a fish Knowing whom you’re going to marry when you are just a newly minted teenager is a relatively rare thing. My mom said she knew she was going to marry my dad when they were barely teenagers, as she watched him show a steer at the county fair. This year in August, they will have been married 44 years. Last weekend, our family traveled to Le Mars to witness the marriage of my husband’s cousin to her high school sweetheart, literally. They had been dating for nine years, through high school and college, ups and downs, and were ready to make a lifetime commitment to each other. The groom has been attending family events for years, even when my husband's cousin was at school or had to work. He’s been an unofficial member of the family for many years already. So it was with much happiness that we made the trip north ... in the pickup with a flatbed
trailer attached. I knew this was going to happen a few months in advance, and I was prepared for the ride. My husband had borrowed some equipment from his uncle, the bride’s father, and needed to return it. Since we don’t travel that direction often, the wedding seemed like an opportune time to drop it off. In the interest of saving gas, I approved of this plan. However, I had asked my husband to at least clean the pickup. He said he would. I might have wanted to be more specific. He and I have very different definitions of clean, which after being married for almost 18 years I should know. Let’s call it temporary stupidity on my part. As I climbed into the truck in my Sunday best wedding attire, the familiar mounds of “farmer stuff” were gone. The dirt and dust wasn’t. The log chains my feet normally navigate when I have to ride with him
weren’t on the floor of the passenger side. The half-inch of dust on the dashboard was still there. He hadn’t gotten to it, he said. The outside was just as dirty, too. I felt like the Clampett’s headin’ to a big city weddin’ with Jethro and Jethro. (I can’t say Elly May because we have two boys.) We dropped off the equipment-loaded trailer at his uncle’s house and went to the wedding. At the reception, the couple had placed on the tables flower vases with goldfish that guests could take home if they wished. The kids loved this idea. My youngest son promptly named the one at our table Fishbak, after the initials of the couple. Throughout the evening, he acquired a few more fish from empty tables, moving them around closer to the dance floor so he could keep and eye on them AND show them to the girls with whom he was dancing. At the end of the night, the fish had been switched
THE
FARMER’S WIFE By Christy Welch around so much that Fishbak was missing, and three other goldfish were found. After the reception, I made a point of thanking the groom for such a great idea. My son carefully transported them in his lap during the two hour drive home, speaking to them often and trying to make sure the fish water didn’t splash out of the container.
My husband and I decided that we couldn’t wait until the new couple has children so we can repay that great kindness when picking out gifts for their children. As of Tuesday one of the three fish my son came home with had already gone belly-up, though he’s convinced that it’s just sleeping because it doesn’t have any energy because the other two fish keep eating all the food. Right. And this is the child that wants to be a veterinarian. He had taken the fish out and put it in another container by himself with his own food to get stronger, which of course didn’t work. The resulting “burial at sea” didn’t go so well either. He now wants a replacement fish, and a bigger tank, which I’m not certain I’m entirely ready to purchase. Though, it could provide him with a distraction so as not to find a bride anytime soon. He is 9, after all.

Vetter adjusts to the challenges by increasing efficiency VETTER, from Page 1B The production of LFTB is regulated and inspected by the USDA, and in the two decades it has been produced, the product has an excellent safety record. “The LFTB scare impacted the market,” Vetter commented. “Somebody came out with misinformation, others jumped on the bandwagon and they didn’t look at the facts.” He stated the day after the smear campaign hit the social media, the cattle commodity market dropped a little, and as the campaign picked up momentum, the market lost $15 per hundred weight. Vetter said the LFTB smear campaign was devastating for some producers who did not have their cattle locked into a selling price. Soon after the LFTB smear campaign, the presence of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) was confirmed in a dairy cow in central California. The cow did not present a risk to food safety as it was not slaughtered for human consumption and was destroyed. “The media handled that better and stuck with the facts, and the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association did a good job of getting the facts out to the public,” said Vetter. Like all cattle producers, Vetter adjusts to the challenges presented by raising cattle and those off-the-farm challenges, like the LFTB smear campaign, by finding ways to increase production efficiency. Every year the margin of profit for cattle production gets a little smaller, he commented. As he has been feeding cattle on his own for more than 30 years, Vetter has witnessed the roller-coaster cycle of the markets many times. “My tax returns show the cattle cycle really well,” he quipped. Another challenge cattle producers are facing is the competition to purchase feeder cattle. “Way too much capacity exists for beef cattle in the United States and not enough feeder cattle are being raised,” Vetter stated. “A lot of people got out of raising cattle; ranchers don’t have any kids taking over the business, so they got out of it, plowed up the pasture and

planted crops.” He continued, though, that cattle producers are doing a better job of producing more beef with fewer animals. “We’re balancing the rations better and keeping the same amount of feed in front of the cattle every day,” Vetter stated, explaining that varying the amount of feed a cattle consumes will lower efficiency.
Vetter continued that feeding dry distiller’s grain and gluten helps reduce the cost of gain because these feed products cost less. “Gluten and corn create a synergy for a better rate of gain,” Vetter stated. Adding another edge to his profit margin are three buildings Vetter constructed on his farm within the past

three years. He built a mono-slope building and a hoop building three years ago, and on January 2 completed a traditional sloped-roof building. “These buildings work well. They get the cattle out of the mud and help me comply with Department of Natural Resource regulations for manure,” Vetter commented. He continued that having his cattle under a roof has increased their rate of gain and improved feed efficiency simply because the livestock is out of the mud. The buildings actually work better in the summer than in the winter because of the shade they provide, keeping the cattle cool and allowing them to gain weight more efficiently. Vetter has also found his buildings to be time-savers. After it rains or snow blows into the buildings, he can clean them out in a short amount of time because they are a fourth the area of a regular outside pen. If a shortage of time doesn’t allow for the immediate cleaning of the buildings, Vetter will use a bale processor to mix in more bedding until he can clean out the buildings. Vetter is able to raise the same amount of cattle that he had in an outside pen in the smaller area of his buildings because of the bedding. He continued that while he might have to haul a little more manure from the buildings than he did from an open pen, but he doesn’t have to haul dirt back into the yard. Vetter explained that in an open yard, cattle churn the ground and mix manure with the soil; the soil that is hauled away with the manure has to be replaced. Recently Vetter purchased 160 feeder calves from

southern Iowa, bringing his total herd count to a little more 400, which is his average. The 160 head of cattle will be sold in February at weights of 1,200 to 1,250 pounds. Along with 400 head of cattle, Vetter grows about 800 acres of corn and soybeans, mostly by himself. In the fall a son-in-law who lives by Carroll helps out and another son-in-law who lives in Kansas comes up when he can. Vetter also owns a combine with another producer, and at harvest time they share the equipment. For the short- and long-term, Vetter hopes the cattle market remains strong.
“In May, Beef Month, there is more demand for beef as people are grilling,” he stated. “People have to eat, and beef is the food of choice.” In his role as a cattle producer and a member of the Crawford County Cattlemen’s Association, Vetter is always ready to promote the value of beef. “Lean beef is a very nutritious product, low in fat and a good source of iron and vitamins,” he stated. Vetter commented that raising cattle is a good job and a good way of life. He added he will keep feeding cattle and that a couple sons-in-law have shown an interest in joining the ranks of the cattle producers.

He said putting cattle under a roof has helped with rate of gain and feed efficiency. Vetter spoke about a number of cattle industry issues, commenting that the industry needs faces of producers to go along with the information about beef and beef production. Photos by Gordon Wolf

Coon Bowl III wins Iowa’s Best Burger contest The Coon Bowl III, a diner and bowling alley in Coon Rapids, took home this year’s title of Iowa’s Best Burger, which is awarded by the Iowa Beef Industry Council and Iowa Cattlemen’s Association. Three generations of noted cooking skills have influenced the burgers, as has the ground beef that comes from the nearby Arcadia Locker. “One of the judges noted the juiciness of the burgers,” said Michelle Baumhover, the coordinator of the contest. “She said she was very appreciative of having the napkin holder right in front of her!” Co-managers of the Coon Bowl are Cindy Heydon and Dan George. George handles much of the grilling at the diner. He comes from a line of good family cooks. “My grandma (Viva Johnston) was known for the 10course meals she would serve threshing crews on the family farm,” he said. Johnston’s daughter (and Dan’s mother) ran Arlene’s, a Coon Rapids restaurant, for 11 years.
When she closed the restaurant, Dan headed to the Coon Bowl, and has been flipping burgers and preparing lots of other diner fare for the past 16 years. The Coon Bowl III uses an 80/20 blend of ground chuck, one of the most popular blends for tasty burgers. He says he doesn’t add any seasoning unless the customer requests it, so the beef flavor is predominant in the variations served at the diner. Customers are also in charge of asking for any extras, whether that’s “running the burger through a garden” or adding cheese, bacon,or mushrooms as toppings. Coon Bowl III was selected as a top 10 entry this year based on customer support. “Our customers were really involved in submitting nominations,” Heydon said. Road work crews, those from a nearby ethanol plant, and farmers who stopped in for a meal all filled out forms that were sitting on the counter. Also, Heydon’s daughter

takes place at state FFA leadership conference More than 1,200 Iowa FFA members joined Iowa Ag Secretary Bill Northey to package nearly 228,000 Meals from the Heartland (MftH) during the state FFA leadership conference April 22 and 23 in Ames. The event, sponsored by the Iowa Soybean Association (ISA) with the support of Cargill – Iowa Region, was among the largest, one-time food packaging efforts ever organized by Iowa-based MftH. The soy-based meals, packaged in less than eight hours, are being delivered to Haiti via the Convoy of Hope as part of “Special Delivery. Homes. Help. Hope. For Haiti.” The campaign, co-chaired by Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds and Secretary Northey, was launched last December by the Iowa Food & Family Project with the support of the ISA and Laurens-based Global Compassion Network (GCN). In addition to the soy-based food packets, the initiative seeks to raise donations to the GCN by June 1 for the purchase of 48 SafeTHomes manufactured by Sukup Manufacturing Co. of Sheffield. To date, the GCN has received contributions totaling 34 homes. An additional 15 dwellings have been pledged. “With leadership comes responsibility and Cargill is proud to partner with Iowa’s soybean growers in providing high-quality soy protein to assist people in need,” said Jim Reiff, general manger for Cargill, Inc. “We commend the leadership, dedication and volunteer spirit of the FFA members who stood shoulder to shoulder to make a difference for so many.”
