A rapidly maturing crop Farmers face challenges as they harvest drought-damaged corn by Gordon Wolf Farmers are rapidly harvesting a drought-damaged corn crop that has reached maturity early, aided by warm and dry weather conditions in late August. Reports from Iowa State University Extension field agronomists said producers are seeing a wide range of yields, depending on soil conditions and which fields or in some cases, parts of fields, received timely rains. According to the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Iowa Field Office, 50 per-
cent of the corn crop is mature, a stage that is ahead of both last year and the five-year average of 11 percent. The NASS report was issued September 4. The corn condition was reported at 23 percent very poor, 32 percent poor, 32 percent fair, 13 percent good and zero percent excellent. Fifty-one percent of the soybean crop is turning color, according to the NASS report, and seven percent of the plants were dropping leaves, one week
ahead of last year. The soybean condition was reported at 13 percent very poor, 24 percent poor, 40 percent fair, 21 percent good, and two percent excellent. Corn yields are all over the chart, according to information from Iowa State University Extension field agronomists. Extension Field Agronomist Joel DeJong, who serves Sioux, Lyon, Osceola, O'Brien, Cherokee, Ply-
mouth, Woodbury, Ida and Monona counties, has heard of fields that were appraised at or near zero yield and has heard reports of fields that approach 200 in different neighborhoods. “I have also observed yield monitors in the same field and the same round go from the 40s to hitting 260 (for a few yards), so even in the same round there can be a huge variation,” DeJong stated.
Extension Field Agronomist Clarke McGrath, who is the crops team co-lead and spends most of his time in Shelby, Audubon, Crawford, Harrison and East and West Pottawattamie counties, pointed out that without the strong genetics, the variability in yields would have been much less, which would have meant worse yields. “We would have seen yields from 0 to maybe 100 bushels per acre,” he stated.
“Modern genetics have allowed our corn (and as we will hopefully soon see, our beans) to produce grain in conditions that even 10 years ago may have led to barren plants.” The drought, of course, is the reason for the wide swings in yields, McGrath added. DeJong added that water and the water holding capacity of the soil are the main reasons for the variability in yields. “Some soils hold water well, others don't. Some neighborhoods didn't have enough rain and in storage in the soil to supply enough for the crop,” DeJong explained. “And the long-term heat reduced yields, too.” CORN . . . Page 3

CORN, from Page 1 The field agronomists responded to the following additional questions. Q: What is the stage of the corn and soybean harvest in the counties you serve? DeJong: The southern counties (Monona, Ida, etc.) look to have a better start on the corn harvest. But, probably less than 10 percent harvested so far. That is still earlier than I can remember. Just a few soybeans have been harvested as of today (September 5). McGrath: The corn harvest is now pretty much in full swing. Very few soybeans have been started yet, but maybe towards the end of this week (week of September 2-8) or the start of next week. Right now we are more worried about getting some of the corn out that has lodged or is going to be lodging shortly with the weak stalks we have in many fields. Q: Do you know of any farmers in the counties you serve who have or will har-
vest corn early and then have fields that will have to be harvested later? Will these farmers have to make any adjustments between the two harvest times? DeJong: Some (producers) are harvesting early because stalk and ear shank integrity is poor, and the fear is that the corn will be on the ground if they wait too long. This corn might be higher in moisture than fields where they can wait for it to field dry. So yes, combine settings need to be different. The bigger challenge is that some will have that in the same field; they could be combining big, wet ears in the same field, or even (the same) round, then some very small ears that are quite dry. That creates real challenges on getting the combine set right without more than normal losses. McGrath: There will be a lot of that; some areas of fields are dry and need to be harvested ASAP to reduce stalk lodging and the nightmare of harvesting a lot of down corn. Growers will
have to watch the wetter corn that is still out there to see how it will stand up while they take out the drier and less stable areas of fields. Q: Will farmers have to adjust their equipment to more efficiently harvest drought-damaged crops? DeJong: Yes. That has been a hot topic of discussion. McGrath: To a degree. Luckily, today's machines are a little easier to get set up to harvest the smaller and lighter grains that drought can produce. Right now, fire safety is a larger concern. Read my blog entry on that www.iowafarmertoday.com/ app/blog/?p=2050. Q: Has the drought or other factors created any health concerns for farmers or for the animals that will consume the grain in the form of feed? Is aflatoxin a concern in your area? DeJong: I have observed fields with the fungus, Aspergillus Flavus, on some ears and kernels. This can potentially develop into afla-
toxin. So far there haven't been a lot of positive tests from what I have heard, but it needs to be watched. ISU Extension has some great information on our drought web page on this topic: http://www.extension.iastate.edu/topic/recoveringdisasters. McGrath: From a worker safety standpoint, the mold and dust from this year's crop means taking extra precautions. Consider a dust mask or respirator when working in the dusty conditions. Fire safety is a must. Watch for aflatoxins and manage corn accordingly. Aflatoxin issues and levels have been sporadic, but there have been a few issues here and there. It is hard to say what will happen as we get deeper into the fields in the next week or so. Q: Will there be any animal health-related concerns with baled corn stalks and bean stubble? DeJong: It is possible that there could be some nitrate toxicity issues with baled cornstalks from fields that

had little corn produced. Stalks in well fertilized fields that produced very little corn have more risk. Lower stalks hold more nitrates than upper stalks. But, it is something to consider. McGrath: There could be some nitrate issues with corn stalk bales. The only way to be sure is to test. Q: As farmers are harvesting their crops, what should they keep in mind that may help in planning for next year's crop? Has the drought had any impact on the soil that would necessitate farmers to take extra precautions as they harvest in order to prevent problems in the future? DeJong: I always like to remind producers that leaving residue on the surface helps reduce erosion risk to this wonderful soil resource we have in this part of the world. An early harvest might tempt some to do more fall tillage than normal - or than is really needed with less residue on our surface this year. Don't yield to that temptation just because
it is early when we are done with the harvest. Also, if it remains dry, know that our harvest fire danger is higher than normal. Keep equipment as clean of dust and residue build-up as possible. And note that those windy, dry days create the biggest fire risk. McGrath: Keep tillage to a minimum and preserve the crop residues to help with water infiltration and reduce soil erosion as much as possible. Watch crop removal and fertilizer replacement rates, with the goal to be in the "optimum" soil test ranges. Q: Other concerns or advice? DeJong: This is the time of year when slow moving equipment is traveling down the road. Crop farmers need to do a safety check each day to be certain all wagons and other equipment is well lit and identified as slow-moving. Others need to be certain they schedule more time so they can patiently deal with slower traffic going down our roads.

Pheasant numbers projected to flourish amidst drought Birds and habitat benefited from a floodless summer by Greg Forbes Despite the severe drought throughout Iowa, pheasant numbers are up from 2011. Early roadside counts conducted by Department of Natural Resources officers have revealed that the pheasant population has grown significantly. John Linquist, Pheasants Forever’s western Iowa representative, said the drought has actually provided a break for birds this year. Severe flooding over the past couple of summers destroyed habitat and dropped population numbers significantly. Bird numbers also rose with help from the early and dry spring. Less habitat and birds were destroyed by deep snowfall and extreme temperatures. Linquist and the Crawford County Farm Bill biologist Chad Hotlen, however, both said that pheasant habitat may suffer this season because of drought-related early grazing. Farmers and producers were allowed to put their livestock in CRP and public fields to graze due to the severe conditions of pastures. Hotlen explained that the grazing potentially de-

stroyed necessary shelter for pheasants during the hunting season. Birds use tall grass as shelter and protection from snow and predators. “If there are going to be effects from the drought, it will be this winter,” Hotlen said. “If it’s a mild winter, the drought won’t be that big of a deal but if it’s a wild one, it could have a dramatic effect on bird numbers.” Linquist said the drought destroyed some necessary habitat for small bugs, such as mosquitoes, which serve as an important food source for chicks. The dryness also killed the tall grass cover hens use to raise chicks in their nests. “It’s as simple as if we don’t have bugs and don’t have habitat, we don’t
have birds,” Linquist explained. If the drought subsides by next year, Linquist said he expects to see a drastic increase in pheasant numbers. Preliminary counts have revealed a 125,000 bird harvest is possible for the first time in years. Although that number is not at the glory days of more than a million birds, it is on its way to drawing hunters back to the state of Iowa. Linquist explained that Pheasants Forever has worked tirelessly this past year to get hunters enthused about Iowa pheasant season again. They have sponsored more youth hunting and shooting sports programs, conducted 800 events and saw
their youth involvement increase from 8,000 to 40,000 in 2012. “Shooting sports are growing big time. But people are migrating to shooting sports and hunter numbers are not increasing,” Linquist said. Linquist explained that hunter numbers have decreased because there is no longer an emphasis on hunting as a family event. He said Pheasants Forever and other conservation programs have begun to take a family-first approach to hunter promotion and sponsored fatherson and whole family hunts. “Hunting is really stagnant right now,” Linquist said. “We need to get those family numbers up and back out in the fields.”

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources’ (DNR) 2012 August Upland Wildlife Roadside Survey shows the statewide pheasant population has increased 16 percent when compared to last year. The average birds counted per 30-mile route statewide increased from 6.8 birds to 8 birds in 2012. The highest pheasant counts per route are in the northwest region, with 16; central region, with 13; and north central region with 10. The survey also showed an increase in the number of partridge and quail, while cottontail numbers were unchanged. While the pheasant recovery is not as large as predicted, it is a step in the right direction and hunters should see a few more birds while hunting this fall. The 2012 pheasant hunting season runs from October 27 through January 10, 2013. “Well managed habitat is also critical for recovery,” said Todd Bogenschutz, upland wildlife research biologist for the DNR. “The DNR has worked with private landowners to improve wildlife habitat on more than 7,000 acres of private lands in exchange for access for hunters.” He added that the DNR has been working with Pheasants Forever to expand the cooperative partnership working with private landowners to improve habitat. An important part of this effort is the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and this effort is critical for pheasant to recovery in Iowa. Department of Agriculture information shows 288 square miles of CRP fields expire next year in Iowa. The full roadside report can be downloaded from the department’s webpage at www.iowadnr.gov/Hunting/PheasantSmallGame/AugustRoadsideSurveyData.aspx.

Butterflies and branding We’ve been branded as an Iowa State family. I started my life at Iowa State. My parents were living in Pammel Court during my father’s senior year, and I was born in Ames the summer after my dad graduated from Iowa State. Looking back, I don’t think I really had a choice of where I’d go to college. Ames felt like home to me. In fact, when my sisters were applying and being accepted at various colleges, one of them asked my mom why I was only accepted to Iowa State. She said Iowa State was the only college to which I applied. After attending so many conferences and seminars there, including State 4-H Conference for four years, Ames was home. Sure, I went through my black and gold phase, most-
ly to irritate my dad, but I returned to the lovely crimson and gold before I graduated high school. My sisters graduated from Iowa State. My husband and his father also attended Iowa State. So, it’s been my dream to be able to send my boys there too. I played the ISU fight song repeatedly when I was pregnant with them both, and we talk about the college a lot. Generally, about going to college after graduating high school, and specifically about attending Iowa State. On Monday, my family all congregated in Ames to visit Reiman Gardens. Besides the beautiful gardens, they now have several displays of LEGO art scattered throughout the grounds. We first visited the butterfly enclosure, which was

beautiful. However, if you’re at all skittish about bugs landing on you or buzzing in front of your head, this is not where you want to be. Hundreds of butterflies were flitting about the area. I would have liked to take some pictures. However, my high schooler stole my camera. He has an assignment for FFA to turn in a photograph by sometime in late September. He also takes photographs to the fair with the 4-H program. As we walked through the gardens, the kids saw giant LEGO lily pads on the pond, a LEGO fox chasing a LEGO rabbit, and a LEGO bison standing out on a hill. Towards the back of the gardens were several birdhouses strung up throughout the trees. The LEGO exhibit runs

through October 28th, and I recommend you take your kids or grandkids. They will be delighted as were the seven kids I toured the gardens with on Monday! Unfortunately, our time was cut short by a downpour, which was a welcome relief from the heat. I’ll have to take the boys back soon to see some of the other exhibits that we missed. After lunch, we drove through campus so I could show the boys some of the buildings, and to stop by the Memorial Union. Our high school has been painting driveways with a giant “M” for Monarchs, and I had been joking around with the kids about not stepping on it lest they suffer the same consequence as stepping on the Memorial Union’s zodiac. Reading about the bronze
THE
FARMER’S WIFE By Christy Welch signs of the zodiac that were placed into the entrance of the floor is one thing. Actually experiencing it is
something completely different. We had talked about how the designer, William T. Proudfoot, had raised the bronze figures a little above the floor thinking when students walked across they would eventually wear down. However, students decided that walking across the zodiac would invoke a curse whereupon you would flunk your next text. So the boys saw that after more than 90 years the bronze zodiac is still raised up above the floor. I think they enjoyed our little trip to Ames, and I hope it’s just one step closer to entice them to go there when they graduate from high school.

Iowa hosts trade team from Central America, Mexico A reciprocal visit from a group of seven meat industry sales representatives from Panama, Guatemala and Mexico allowed a first-hand look at production, processing and merchandising in the U.S beef and pork industries. With the recent passage of the Panama Free Trade Agreement (FTA), potential exists to increase exports of high quality beef to Panama and other Central American countries. In February, a group of Iowa beef, pork and corn producers visited Guatemala and Panama on a meat trade mission to explore trade with Iowa and the United States. The visit to Iowa began with a tour of Couser Cattle Company, owned and operated by Bill and Nancy Couser, Nevada, where the team saw a cattle feedlot and learned about feeding co-products and the Couser family’s efforts to protect the environment. A tour of Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine showed how livestock producers work with their veterinarians to protect against disease and assure herd health and meat quality. Dr. Daryl Strohbehn, seedstock producer from Boone and treasurer of the Iowa Beef Industry Council, gave a short course on cattle genetics and beef grading. Additional activities for the trip included a visit to Pine Ridge Farms pork processing plant in Des Moines, Farmland Foods in Denison and a meeting with Iowa meat sales representatives. An afternoon at the Iowa State Fair found the group splitting up between visits to the animal barns and a tour of all the unique state fair foods. The trade team visit was funded by the Iowa Beef Industry Council, Iowa Pork Producers Association and Iowa Corn Promotion Board and coordinated by the U. S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF). Through June, this year’s beef export volume was down 11 percent to 550,462 metric tons while export value was up four percent to $2.66 billion. The most recent export figures show that 12 percent of U.S. beef was exported in June worth a value of $203.90 per head of fed cattle. The major export countries in volume are Canada, Japan, Mexico, the Middle East and South Korea. New market potential exists in Central and South America with Columbia’s FTA opening May 15 and Panama’s FTA targeted for October 15. According to USMEF, the Central and South America region is this year’s fastest-growing region for U.S. beef exports with volume (17,187 metric tons) through June up 34 percent and value ($64 million) up 82 percent over last year’s record pace.

Tour B will visit JBS in Marshalltown, the National Center for Animal Health in Ames and Lincolnway Energy in Nevada. The evening will conclude with dinner at Couser Cattle Company, which was started in 1977 with 24 cows and today is permitted for 5,200 head of finishing fed cattle. The farming operation consists of many acres of seed production for
Monsanto, and commercial corn, beans and hay. The Couser’s were awarded the 2011 National Environmental Stewardship Award for their work to help improve environmental standards in the feeding industry. Their new state-of-the-art feedlot includes alternative technology systems and monoslope deep bedded cattle barns. Saturday, September 15: tours showcasing Iowa agriculture. NASDA participants will visit Kemin Industries, John Deere Des Moines Works and Firestone Farm Tires. Sunday, September 16: president’s dinner, Des Moines. Loren Kruse, retiring editor-in-chief of Successful Farming magazine, will address NASDA members and NASDA honor awards will be presented. NASDA is a nonprofit, nonpartisan association that represents the commissioners, secretaries, and directors of the state departments of agriculture in all 50 states and four U.S. territories. As regulators of significant aspects of the nation’s agriculture industry, NASDA members are actively involved in ensuring the safety of an abundant food supply, protection of animal and plant health, stewardship of our environment, and promoting the vitality of our rural communities.

Grass at DMU well field baled to benefit fair association About 120 acres of grass at the Denison Municipal Utilities (DMU) well field along Highway 39 north of Denison was windrowed and baled by Crawford County Fair Association volunteers. The grass was donated by DMU to the fair association so the hay could be sold to farmers due to this year’s drought-depleted supply of forage. DMU couldn’t sell the hay as it could adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the well field property. Some of the grass and grain stalks were untouched so that the seed can be harvested by Pheasants Forever. The hay was sold at auction on September 6. Proceeds from the auction benefited the Crawford County Fair Association. Photos by Bruce A. Binning

Meeting allows producers to put faces with names of EPA officials Fly-overs a topic at Arcadia gathering by Gordon Wolf Fly-overs conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the EPA inspection process and typical compliance issues with confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) were topics discussed during a gathering hosted by EPA Region 7 at the American Legion Hall in Arcadia on August 30. The meeting was part of the EPA’s outreach to cattle producers in northwest Iowa, said Kris Lancaster, public affairs specialist with the EPA. “We wanted to provide producers an opportunity to meet inspectors and learn more about the steps they can take to comply with the Clean Water Act and to make any necessary improvements to protect the water quality in northwest Iowa,” he stated. Stephen Pollard, CAFO compliance and enforcement coordinator, and Trevor Urban, senior CAFO inspector, with EPA Region 7, were the main speakers. The EPA has been using fly-overs in Iowa since 2010. Before that, maps were used. Pollard is the individual who operates the camera from a plane contracted through a memorandum of agreement the U.S. Department of the Interior. Asked if he plans flights around weather events, Pollard responded, “Not necessarily. We try to fly the wetter periods of the year, typically in the spring right at the thaw through June and pick up a little bit in the fall. It’s not like we’re watching the radar or weather.” Pollard said he processes and analyzes the photos when he is back on the ground and then asks for a follow-up, if needed. “Any enforcement or compliance issue we would issue to a facility, we would not do that without an on-theground inspection,” he stated, adding he has received this question a lot from individuals in Iowa, Nebraska and other states. He commented he sees a lot of facilities in compliance. “That’s one of the benefits of the flights,” Pollard said. “It allows us to focus on the facilities we think have the issues and allows those we think are, for the most part, running an adequate operation, to not bother them with an on-the-ground inspection.” Urban stated that he and the two other inspectors from Region 7 are consistent; they conduct the same type of inspections, ask the same questions and fill out the same check list. “Our goal on every inspection is, quite frankly, environmental protection to prevent discharges into creeks and streams,” he explained. Urban said he and other inspectors receive complaints that they nit-pick when they point out everything that is not in compliance. “I base things in three criteria. You have permit violations, maintenance issues and housekeeping issues,” he explained. “The maintenance and housekeeping issues can turn into a permit violation if you don’t do what need to do. “I’m going to look at everything and talk to you because if I walk away and it comes up later, I’ll be asked why I didn’t say something.” Urban stated he calls the producer usually the afternoon of the day before the inspection to make sure the right person will be at the facility when he arrives. “We try to work with the producer; we know it’s an inconvenience. You are busy,” he said. “We want to see the facility as it’s operated on a day-to day-basis.” Urban explained that inspectors always do a close-out conference. “We have a check list so we do it consistently and check everything off. I don’t want to have to come back and waste any more of the producer’s time,” he stated. He continued that the producer will know what the inspector knows when they leave a facility and that producers have an opportunity to clarify anything. Reports on the inspection are written up in the following 30 to 60 days. Urban said producers can call the inspectors at any time as long as they need or want to.
He added later that the location, the layout of the facility and the availability of complete records are factors in how long an inspection lasts. “We try to work with the producer,” Urban said. “You are still working and have people coming to your facility. If you need to step away and make a phone call, that’s okay. If you’re too busy to show us around, maybe you can have another person show us.”
Producers present at the meeting asked questions specific to their operations, wondering if they are in compliance or not. In one case, a producer was concerned about his pasture but was told his pasture wouldn’t meet the definition of a confinement area if there’s still grass on it. Urban added that everybody’s pasture is looking the same, with little vegetation, because of the drought.

Despite concerns, black mold in corn fields poses little danger by Greg Forbes Farmers out in the fields this harvest season may notice something a little out of the ordinary. Black mold has been seen in abundance in fields throughout Iowa in the late summer. Dr. Alison Robertson, an assistant professor in the department of plant pathology and microbiology at Iowa State University, said the mold is not new to the area. The black mold is usually seen in fields around late September and October. It is a fungi that grows on the dead tissue of corn plants. The mold has shown up earlier this year because of the harsh summer conditions. Corn plants started to die
earlier than usual this summer due to the severe drought that swept throughout the Midwest. The rain in late August and early September, combined with ongoing extreme temperatures, has provided ideal conditions for the mold to grow earlier than usual. “It’s around because we had premature death and had all the dead tissue sitting out there,” Robertson said. “These warm, wet conditions favor the rapid growth of fungi and that’s why there has been so much of it. Robertson explained that, while the fungi’s early appearance has startled many crop growers, it poses no hazards to living plants.
We Service All of Iowa ... Over
The fungi is also toxin-free, which means the harvested grain should be relatively clean and safe to feed to animals. The only hazard black mold poses is to people with respiratory conditions or allergies. Robertson advised anyone with those conditions to wear a dust mask when out in the fields. The mold has also caused some concern because strains of fungi producing aflatoxins, which can be carcinogenic in humans and animals, have been seen throughout Iowa. However, this specific strain of black mold is saprophytic and does not produce toxins.

Case IH Robo-Sharpener: The World's First Field Service Robot for Sharpening Wavy Tillage Blades
WE SELL CARPORTS OF ALL SIZES
Ask for Carlin Copenhaver President/CEO
It’s an age-old problem in agriculture: ground-engaging tools – disks, coulters and wavy blades that penetrate soil and cut crop residues – eventually go dull. Until now, there was no way to realistically sharpen a wavy-bladed implement with dull blades. "It is with great excitement that Case IH announces the Robo-Sharpener™," says Rob Zemenchik, Sales and Marketing Manager, Case IH Tillage Products. “It’s the world’s first manually supervised ‘field-service robot’ for sharpening wavy or regular tillage blades on the Case IH True-Tandem 330 Turbo.”

IOWA FARM & RANCH
SEPTEMBER 2012
Western Iowa farmers recognized for conservation efforts by Greg Forbes Governor Terry Branstad, Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds, Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources teamed up recently to acknowledge Iowa farmers that have provided leadership and commitment to healthy soil and improved water quality. Sixty-seven farmers from the state of Iowa were named winners of the Iowa Farm Environmental Leaders Award. All award winners were recognized at a ceremony at the Iowa State Fair on Friday, August 17, at the Susan Knapp Amphitheater. “This award seeks to recognize the exemplary voluntary actions of farmers that improve or protect the environment…while also encouraging other farmers to follow in their footsteps by building success upon success,” said the ceremony’s program. Among the 67 winners, 37 are based in western Iowa.
input” farmer. Johnson’s farm features grass waterways, terraces and headlines. He currently has his sheep on a ninepaddock rotation. “We are 100 percent notill and use contour farming,” said Johnson. Aside from farming, Johnson has displayed care for the environment through 12 years of service on the National Resource Conservation Board and multiple years as a member of Iowa Farm Bureau. Johnson said a local FFA director in his area nominated him for the award, which gave Johnson a feeling of appreciation. “I was surprised. You work out in the fields and the community all the time and kind of think that nobody notices. But there are a couple of people that look over your shoulder and think ‘This guy is doing a good job,’” Johnson explained. “I spent a lot of capital on the environment features of my farm so I feel like this is a great recognition.”
Johnson Kurt Johnson, who operates a 1,700-acre plot of row crops and manages a 250-head ewe flock of sheep in Audubon County, was given the award for his efforts as a “reduce the
Dial Dwight Dial, of Lake City in Calhoun County, was recognized for his dedication to environmental protection through his involvement in the Conservation Security Program,
the Iowa Soy Bean Association and Agren, an agriculture conservation program based in Carroll. He currently farms around 640 acres of a 5050 soybean and corn rotation on completely till-free land. He also custom feeds hogs and manages a sheep flock of 100 commercial ewes. Through Agren, he and his fellow “classmates” helped encourage landowners to reach out to farmers that grow crops and raise livestock with attention to conservation. “Our main premise was to try and get owners of property to rent to people that will farm in correct fashion,” Dial said. His time and involvement with conservation led to his nomination for the award courtesy of the Iowa Soybean Association. While he knew the Iowa Soybean Association was nominating him, the recognition came as a surprise. “I got a phone call from the Iowa Department of Agriculture and thought, ‘What did I do now?’” Dial said. “It was the culmination of a lot of years trying to prove we can do farming this way. It’s like saying ‘thank you’ for taking care of Iowa’s soil and air quality.”
Dwight Dial and his family, of Lake City in Calhoun County, center, were named a recipient of the 2012 Iowa Farm Environmental Leader award. All winners were honored at a ceremony at the Iowa State Fair on August 17. There to present the award were, from left; Monsanto representative Mike Naig, Governor Terry Branstad, Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey, Iowa Department of Natural Resources Director Chuck Gipp and EPA Region 7 Administrator Karl Brooks.
Gaesser For more than 20 years, Ray Gaesser has experimented with terracing and tile drainage. His farm, eight miles southeast of Corning, has been strictly no-till for 30 years. “Our first concern is soil erosion,” Gaesser said, who operates the farm with the full-time help of his son, Chris. He has also been in-
volved with several environmental conservation programs through the Iowa Soybean Association and has joined groups that keep farmers up to date on agriculture conservation technology. Gaesser explained that his dedication to soil and land conservation extends beyond his career. He said his efforts always keep his children, grandchildren and even
great-grandchildren in mind. “There are a lot of us in agriculture that are concerned about the environment and keeping farming the best we can for the next generations,” Gaesser stated. “Farmers really are conservationists. We do care for the land because it’s important to us that have a passion and purpose to feed the people.”

IOWA FARM & RANCH
SEPTEMBER 2012
Producers urged to take Iowa Department precautions when of Agriculture feeding drought-damaged to require testing corn as silage When a corn plant is stunted, or not growing normally, nitrates can build up in the plant. Typically, nitrogen that is taken up by the corn plant is converted to amino acids - the building blocks of protein - but in the stressed plant this conversion does not occur. And that’s why producers need to know how to handle and feed droughtdamaged corn in silage form, according to Steve Ensley, of Iowa State University’s Veterinary Diagnostic and Production Animal Medicine (VDPAM) department. “The nitrate level can be high enough in stunted plants that if harvested as silage the nitrate can be toxic to livestock that consume the silage,” Ensley said. “The most common problem is when drought stressed corn is green chopped and fed to livestock without going through ensiling.” Ensiling will lower the amount of nitrate in the plant. Nitrogen availability to the plant, which will depend on recent rain, fertilizer applied and other factors, will affect the level of nitrate in the
nitrate. Availability of this screening test varies. In some cases, the screening test may be a part of drought meetings where the beef or dairy field specialists are present. Other options include getting a representative sample of several stalks and performing a strip test, which can help determine the concentration of nitrate by sending in a sample. ISU Extension beef and dairy specialists also will have capability for this, but due to the time required to prepare the sample for analysis the availability will be more limited than the screening test. Samples also can be sent to commercial feed analysis labs, or a local veterinarian can send samples to the Iowa State veterinary diagnostic lab. For more information on nitrate toxicity in drought damage corn silage, see the fact sheet “Nitrate Toxicity” on the Iowa Beef Center website. Other drought-related information is available on the Extension and Outreach Dealing with Drought website and the Iowa Beef Center website.
plant. If producers are planning on making silage from drought damaged corn, the only way they can be sure about the level of nitrate is do some sampling and testing of the corn silage before feeding. “Producers have several options to help determine whether nitrate toxicity might be a problem,” Ensley said. “Assess the corn field that will be harvested to determine how much of the field has stunted corn that’s not developing a normal ear. Take samples either by taking grab samples of silage cut by a forage chopper or by cutting several entire plants by hand that represent the various types of corn in the field.” A quick test that will screen for the presence of nitrates in stalks without having to chop the stalk can be done by ISU Extension beef and dairy specialists. A drop of diphenylamine in sulfuric acid on the surface of a stalk split in two will turn a blueblack color if nitrate is present. However, this does not provide a concentration of

Corn with 200 ppb or less can be used with finishing swine greater than 100 pounds in weight and corn with 300 ppb or less can be used in finishing beef cattle. On August 15 the Iowa Department of Agriculture submitted a request to FDA to allow corn containing more than 20 ppb of aflatoxin to be blended with non-aflatoxin containing corn for animal feed. The FDA has granted a similar request in previous years when aflatoxin has been present in Iowa. More information about aflatoxin in corn can be found on the ISU Extension and Outreach “Dealing with Disasters” page at www.extension.iastate.ed u/topic/recovering-disasters.
ISU Extension schedules town hall meetings Iowa State University Extension and Outreach wants to hear from Iowans about how Iowa State in partnership with counties can best serve citizens. Town hall meetings have been scheduled across the state. Following are two in western Iowa. Monday, September 10, 10:30 a.m., Atlantic: Cass County ISU Extension and Outreach Office, 805 West 10th Street Monday, September 17,
10:30 a.m., Storm Lake: Prairie Lakes AEA Conference Room, 824 Flindt Drive Cathann Kress, ISU Extension and Outreach vice president, and Terry Maloy, Iowa Association of County Extension Councils executive director, will participate in the important conversations with Iowans. ISU College of Design Dean Luis Rico-Gutierrez will attend the Storm Lake meeting. “We are committed to listening to Iowans as we carry
out our mission. We want to gather feedback about what we are doing well, where we need to improve, and what needs to be addressed,” said Kress. “All Iowans – citizens, community leaders, decision makers, partners, staff and extension council members – are welcome.” For more information about the town hall meetings or specific location details, contact a county extension office.

issue this year due to the historic drought conditions,” Northey said. “Now that farmers are starting to harvest silage, and corn in some cases, it is appropriate to begin this screening process to make sure our milk supply remains safe.” The Department is also instituting a state-wide corn sampling program. The FDA has established guidelines for acceptable aflatoxin levels in corn based on its intended use. Corn containing aflatoxin in concentrations of greater than 20 ppb cannot be used for human consumption and cannot be used for feed for dairy animals or for immature livestock of others species. Corn containing aflatoxin at 100 ppb or less can be used in breeding cattle and swine and mature poultry.

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey on August 28 announced that the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship will require aflatoxin screening and testing of milk received in Iowa beginning August 31, and continuing indefinitely. The order requires milk processors to screen all Grade A and Grade B farm bulk milk pickup tankers and farm can milk loads for aflatoxin on a weekly basis. Aflatoxin can sometimes be found in droughtstressed corn. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has established action levels for aflatoxin in milk and feed. “We were well aware that aflatoxin could be an

DURING THIS HARVEST SEASON Tips for keeping yourself safe overhead loading grain into a bin is not leaving a safe amount of clearance under power lines. Many mishaps occur when an auger hits a low hanging power line. This occurs because an operator did not take the right steps in lowering the auger or he was just not reminded or forgot the proper procedure when approaching power lines.
by Greg Forbes As the harvest season approaches, several opportunities exist for mistakes to be made. Those mistakes can lead to injuries. Charles Schwab, an agricultural instructor at Iowa State University specializing in agriculture safety and health offered a few areas of caution as well as steps to avoid hazards.

Schwab explained the easiest way to avoid mistakes threatening one. is to be aware of surroundings at all times and go through a checklist to ensure preventative steps are Children Schwab explained that children working should not being taken. be dictated by age, but by ability level. “Assign good tasks and know their abilities,” Machines on the road Farmers need ways to access their fields. They too, Schwab said, in regards to farmers requesting the servuse popular roads in order to reach point A from point ices of their kids. “Make sure appropriate supervision is given. Letting a kid work is less about age and more B. Heavy machinery may create traffic hazards. Motor vehicle drivers are encouraged to increase about ability level.” He continued that extremely young children, howbraking distances when approaching a machine. Also, motor vehicle operators should be aware whether or ever, should be left at home with another adult. “Very young children should not be engaged at all. not a machine is turning left before trying to pass. Again, being alert is key to avoiding machine traffic- They need constant supervision, and when a farmer is supervising his kids, he isn’t concentrating on what related injuries. he’s doing in the field,” Schwab mentioned. “Either way, somebody is going to be shorted of atGrain bins Schwab explained that a common mistake when tention.”

Hunters enjoying Iowa’s second dove season by Joe Wilkinson Iowa Department of Natural Resources The threat of rain did not hold up hunters, heading into the field for Iowa’s 2012 mourning dove season, Saturday, September 1. Most of those 30,000 expected hunters learned that early is better, as they pursue the state’s newest game species. The migrating doves focus on food plots, as they move through Iowa. Most public wildlife areas had worked food plots into their management plans. And crowds of hunters responded. “It was great. We had a real good morning of hunting. We were done about a quarter after 8 or so,” said Chad Rotter, of Amana. He and Mike Chismar, of Cedar Rapids, camped near
their hunting area on Hawkeye Wildlife Area in northern Johnson County. By dawn, they had rolled out of their bunks and had their set up ready to go. In this second season of mourning dove hunting in Iowa, wingshooters are embracing the new opportunity. Part of that challenge is learning to pattern the diving, ducking feathered ‘missiles’ as they pass by. “They’re tricky, flying birds. It requires a pretty good shot. You’re not going to get one every time you shoot. It’s quite a challenge. Quite a sport,” admitted Chismar. “It was a heck of a lot better than my first time out last year. It was three or four days after the season opened. It was great to be out here opening day. Lotta birds.”
Wildlife biologists and hunters who have pursued doves in other states expect the biggest concentration of birds in the first couple weeks of the season. Hunters are also learning to work in a crowd. Many public areas had five, eight, even a dozen ve-
hicles parked in the lots or along road shoulders. Spread up and down the line of mowed sunflower fields, for instance, hunter safety…and etiquette…are foremost. “Talk to the people in your groups. Give them a zone of fire that they will have. If
Additional facility in Pottawattamie County under quarantine for CWD Five deer at a breeding facility in Pottawattamie County have tested positive for chronic wasting disease (CWD) placing that operation under quarantine, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Iowa Department of Agriculture announced on September 4. Three of the five deer in Pottawattamie County along with a single white-tail deer at a hunting preserve in Davis County – Iowa’s first confirmed positive CWD sample – have been traced back to a breeding facility in Cerro Gordo County. In addition, 14 deer from the breeding facility in Cerro Gordo County have been sampled for CWD with one yielding a positive result for CWD. The Cerro Gordo facility is also currently under quarantine meaning live animals are not allowed to come or go from the operation. After the first positive sample of the deer in Davis County was confirmed in July, both the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS) have been working to trace back deer that have moved to and from the Cerro Gordo County facility. Once the initial positive detection of CWD was found in Davis County, the DNR worked with several other states that had clients of the facility to determine which deer was the carrier of the disease. Through DNA testing, it was determined that the affected deer had originated from the Cerro Gordo County facility. The DNR has regulatory authority on hunting preserves while IDALS regulates captive breeding herds. “It’s important for us to gather as much information as possible as to where these deer have come from and gone to if we are going to be successful in containing the spread
of CWD. Our primary concern is to keep CWD from spreading to the wild herd,” said Bruce Trautman, deputy director of the DNR. The 330-acre Davis County facility is currently surrounded by an eight-foot high fence and routine inspections are being conducted by the DNR to ensure the integrity of the fencing system so that no deer are coming or going from the area. The DNR will increase testing of wild deer in the area by working with hunters and landowners to collect samples from hunter harvested deer beginning this fall. A goal of 300 samples within a five-mile radius of the Davis County facility has been established. There is no evidence that CWD can spread to humans, pets or domestic livestock such as pork, beef, dairy, poultry, sheep or goats. Iowa has tested 42,557 wild deer and more than 4,000 captive deer and elk as part of the surveillance program since 2002 when CWD was found in Wisconsin. CWD is a neurological disease that only affects deer, elk and moose. It is caused by an abnormal protein, called a prion, which affects the brains of infected animals, causing them to lose weight, display abnormal behavior and lose bodily functions. Signs include excessive salivation, thirst and urination, loss of appetite, progressive weight loss, listlessness and drooping ears and head. The prions can attach to soil and spread the disease among deer. Chronic wasting disease was first identified in captive mule deer at a research facility in Colorado in 1967. Prior to the positive detection in Iowa, CWD had been detected in every bordering state.
they don’t have the shot, they need to leave it to the next person,” emphasized DNR conservation officer Aric Sloterdyk. “If it’s not there, it goes to the next group. Wait for the next bird to come.” Sloterdyk, who worked Benton and Linn counties on
opening day, said hunters were pretty successful; some limits, others with 4, 5 or 10 birds (the daily limit is 15 mourning doves). “The birds were coming in on the mowed sunflower fields. Hunters were taking shorter shots. They’re just not used to it yet. Overall, they had pretty good success,” Sloterdyk said. Hunters still need to gauge those shots. Many packed in a couple boxes of shotgun shells (25 each) but had to head back to the truck for more before they were done for the day. “There weren’t as many going out as last year (though),” estimated Sloterdyk. “They may be getting the hang of it.” Iowa’s mourning dove season extends through November 9.
Jim Farrell to present Deal lecture at Iowa State Sept. 20 Jim Farrell, president and CEO of Farmers National Company, will present the 2012 William K. Deal Endowed Leadership Lecture Sept. 20 at Iowa State University. He will present "The Changing Role of Leaders in a Bullish Farmland Market" at 7 p.m. in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union on campus. The event is free and open to the public. Farrell, who grew up on an Iowa farm, is a graduate of Iowa State (’76 speech communications) and began his career with Farmers National Company in 1986. His talk will include an overview of the drivers and potential risks of the current land market, the changing face of farmland management and offer insight to today’s farmland owners and challenges they face. “Today, Farmers National Company is responsible for 2.5 million acres of farmland in 25 states,” Farrell said. "Its success is driven in part by the demographics of aging farm owners and investor interest in U.S. farmland.” Farrell has served in numerous professional and civic leadership roles. In 2009 he was appointed to the board of directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City's Omaha Branch where he serves as chair. William K. Deal, an Iowa State alum with a degree in agricultural education, established the lectureseries to help prepare future leaders and innovators in agriculture. The lecture is organized by the Department of Agricultural Education and Studies in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and co-sponsored by the Committee on Lectures funded by the Government of the Student Body.
