Entering the harvest High wind, Goss’s wilt widespread across western Iowa in 2011
by Emma Struve Farmers are likely nearing the end of silage harvest, in the thick of high-moisture corn harvest and beginning to consider harvesting soybeans as the days get shorter and cooler. In western Iowa, farmers had to contend with divergent weather - hot and dry conditions, flooding, hail and wind. Iowa State University Extension Field Agronomists shared with Iowa Farm & Ranch their observations from the 2011 growing season as we enter fall. Turn to Pages 14 and 15

Heat, drought and Goss’s Wilt can affect corn yields in Iowa Since its initial identification in United States corn fields more than 40 years ago, Goss’s Wilt hasn’t been a serious problem for most Iowa locations. In the past few years, however, the disease has become more common. This year the bacterial disease was identified in the state much earlier than in past years, prompting some concern among those whose fields previously had not been affected. Goss’s Wilt is caused by the bacterium Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. nebraskensis, which enters the plant through wounds that can be caused by rain, wind, hail, or insect damage. Drought stressed plants may be more susceptible to such wounds, and subsequent bacterial infection, but Steve Ensley of Iowa State University’s (ISU) Veterinary Diagnostic and Production Animal Medicine department said drought stress presents a much bigger potential problem than Goss’s Wilt for livestock producers. “Nitrate concentration or cyanide concentration in drought-stressed corn can be a serious threat to livestock use,” Ensley said. “Nitrate is converted to nitrite in the rumen, and nitrite converts blood hemoglobin to methemoglobin, which cannot transport oxygen to body tissues. Cyanide concentration, also known as prussic acid poisoning, works in a similar manner. In both cases, animals often die because of lack of oxygen.” ISU scientists and others said there are no reported issues with feeding Goss’s-infected corn grain, stalks, or silage to cattle, and there is no scientific evidence supporting harm to cattle caused by this bacterium. Because the Goss’s Wilt bacteria can overwinter in crop residue for several months, continuous corn acres and low- or no-till fields are at higher risk for developing Goss’s Wilt. In a recent article for ISU’s Integrated Crop Management newsletter, ISU plant
Attention, Farmers and Truckers Let Ampride's 22 Years of Alignment Experience Align Your Heavy Duty Trucks!
pathologist Alison Robertson said there are steps farmers can take to reduce the survival rate of the responsible bacterium in future years. “Research has shown that pure cultures of the bacterium survive less than two months in soil. However, bacteria found on surface crop residue can survive for at least 10 months,” she said. “Some conservation tillage methods including partially burying infected residue should reduce the survival rates. However, soil conservation measures should always be considered. Also, heat, competition with other microbes and low pH reduce the survivability of the bacterium.” These websites offer additional information: Nitrate Toxicity by Nolan Hartwig, ISU Extension Veterinarian, www.extension.iastate.edu/ag/drought/NitrateToxicity.pdf Reduce Risk of Mycotoxin Contamination by Scouting Fields for Ear Rot by Alison Robertson, ISU Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology; and Charles Hurburgh, Iowa Grain Quality Initiative, www.extension.iastate.edu/CropNews/2011/0825robertsonhurburgh.htm Goss’s Bacterial Wilt and Leaf Blight by Tamra Jackson, University of Nebraska—Lincoln, pdc.unl.edu/agriculturecrops/corn/gosswilt Potential for High Nitrate Levels in Drought-Stressed Corn Silage by Ron Heininger and Jim Dunphy, North Carolina Extension, www.ces.ncsu.edu/plymouth/cropsci/docs/nitrate_silage.pdf Preventing Nitrate Problems in Drought-Damaged Corn by S.D.

Reservations taken for ICA’s bull and heifer evaluation program Iowa beef cattle producers of seedstock can enroll now both bulls and heifers in the evaluation program managed by the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association. Each year, progressive breeders in the Midwest enter more than 400 bulls and 70 open heifers into the program for comparison and benchmarking. “The value of the ICA evaluation program is producers can compare their genetics to other producers through a program that has been in operation for 28 years,” said Kellie Carolan, ICA’s seedstock manager. “This is an excellent opportunity to get important performance information on your seedstock without having to tie up lot space.” The superior genetics that come from this program are then offered to commercial cattle producers at three sales across Iowa in the spring. Carolan stated those sales will be at auction barns in Bloomfield on March 19, in Dunlap on March 30, and in Tama on May 4. Both consignment and private reservations for fall-born and spring-born bulls will be taken through September 30, or until pens are full. Heifer reservations can be made through November 14, or until pens are full. The fall bulls will be fed and evaluated at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, while the spring bulls and open heifers will be delivered to the Van Meter Feedyard near Guthrie Center. Bulls and heifers will be evaluated through the feeding period, and need to meet strict selection criteria to be eligible for an ICA sale and be worthy of the ICA “Symbol of Excellence.” “As an ICA bull consignor, you have the opportunity to open another market for your seedstock,” Carolan said. “The ICA bull program has a long reputation of offering elite genetics to commercial breeders and other purebred producers.” “Using the private reservations may be best for smaller producers interested in a costeffective way of gathering ultrasound and performance data on their herd, while reserving the right to take their stock home after the evaluation,” Carolan stated. Details for program requirements can be found at the ICA website, www.iabeef.org. Look for Bull and Heifer Program under the ICA Programs tab. Individuals can also contact Carolan for more information at Kellie@iabeef.org, or by calling 515-296-2266.

Shortcuts, stress and shows My poor husband has had to deal with my irrational fear of the word “shortcut” since before we were married. It’s not his fault; he’s a victim of my father’s bad judgment and curse in the shortcut arena. Dad’s shortcuts usually took us miles out of the way and lasted an eternity. They also resulted in mom being a little stressed as well, which is completely understandable. On one vacation, dad’s shortcut through Wyoming darn near left us stranded on a gravel road in the middle of ranching pasture with no house or town to be seen for miles. (The gravel “shortcut” was just a fraction of an inch on the map. Who knew we would still be on gravel two hours later?) Did I mention that we three kids were all elementary school age? Mom had a right to be a bit stressed when dad mentioned the word shortcut. I really don’t have cause for worry when my husband says he has a shortcut, since most of the time they turn out as actually saving us time.
Shocking! I can only think of once in the past several years where taking the shortcut didn’t save us time, at the Iowa State Fair this year. Having had the experience of showing at the County Fair and our local Four County Fair last year, my husband and son decided that they wanted to take the breeding heifer to the state fair this year. None of us had shown an animal at the state fair before, so the experience was new for all of us. There were lessons to be learned. Lesson 1. When the state fair book says to check in and pick up a number at some arbitrary place outside the fairgrounds before you can take your animal and gear into the fair, you do have to get the number before you can unload. The problem was that the location stated was not the actual location for the procurement of numbers. The stated location was a barren wasteland with nothing. So, we went to the gate anyway and were told that we had to turn around and go to a different place to get
the number. Good times. Yes, hauling a trailer through the side streets of Des Moines is good fun, and yes, I’m being snarky by saying that it’s fun. It’s not. Nonetheless, we found the actual location, got a number and loaded in the animal and all the gear. In all fairness, we weren’t the only ones who tried the shortcut without a number. The gatekeeper said most of the exhibitors had to loop around to find the magical land of entrance numbers. Lesson 2. Get a weigh-in number the night you load in, so you don’t get stuck with number 258 when you come in the next morning to weigh and check-in your calf. This will alleviate the stress of sitting and waiting for you number block to be called. Lesson 3. If you have a breeding heifer, and the breed starts with the first few letters of the alphabet, you will be waking up before the sun to get to the fairgrounds so you can wash your calf. However, you will be one of the
THE
FARMER’S WIFE By Christy Welch first ones done (if you don’t place in the top two) and will have the rest of the day to yourself. Lessons were learned, and the experience was worth the trouble. The boys want to take animals to the state fair again next year. Last weekend, my father, husband and son were again on the hunt for heifers and steers to be purchased for 4-H projects for next year’s fairs and shows.
At about 5 pm, we were told about another calf we should go see, about 30 minutes away, so we all piled into the vehicle to go check it out. As my husband pulled onto the gravel road, he mentioned something about this being the shortcut. I sighed, knowing that with him driving and not my dad (who was sitting behind me), we had a better then 50/50 shot at the shortcut actually working. Dad apologized to Mike for my attitude towards shortcuts, focusing the blame squarely on his own shoulders. As we laughed about some of the more dire shortcuts -- 30 years later -- we came across a sign that said, “Road Closed Ahead”. I just rolled my eyes and shook my head. “Of course,” I said, as I was expecting something to hinder us. It seems dad doesn’t have to be driving for his shortcut curse to be inflicted. Luckily, we were able to get through to look at the calf, despite the closed road. Sometimes the journey is more fun with a little stress.

The NRCS administers CIG as part of the Environmental Quality Incentives Program. Through CIG, NRCS is investing nearly $22.5 million in conservation technologies and approaches that address a broad array of existing and emerging natural resource issues across the nation. NRCS Chief Dave White said, “Conservation Innovation Grants allow our partners to demonstrate innovative approaches to address some of the nation’s most compelling natural resource concerns such as soil erosion, water and air quality, and energy.

ties to address natural resource concerns on their property.” Vilsack added, “Everyone who relies upon the sustainability of our nation’s natural resources for clean water, food and fiber or their way of life will benefit from these grants.” Regarding the grant administered by ISA EPS, White said, “The Mississippi River Basin is home to some of our nation’s most productive agricultural land. Through this partnership, we can develop more and better approaches and technologies to benefit farmers and help them balance critical conservation work with productive agricultural operations.” The grant will be used to refine operational recommendations for denitrifying bioreactors to maximize their life expectancy and effectiveness in removing nitrate from tile drainage water, minimize generation of possible undesirable byproducts during the denitrification process, and accelerate farmer awareness and implementation of bioreactors and other conservation drainage systems. Lessons learned from the project will be transferred to farmers, watershed coordinators, NRCS personnel and drainage contractors through new interim EQIP standards in Illinois and Minnesota, refinements to Iowa’s current interim standard, development and production of a bioreactor management guide and a conservation drainage tool, as well as through informational meetings. ISA EPS Watershed Management Specialist Keegan Kult is the staff lead in bioreactor demonstration projects funded by partnership with Agriculture’s Clean Water Alliance/Sand County Foundation and the Walton Family Foundation. He is among the researchers and demonstration project implementers who have led the way on the bioreactor practice in the Upper Midwest and who will be collaborating in this project. Other experts leading the project include Dr. Richard Cooke and Dr. Robert Hudson, University of Illinois

Urbana-Champaign (UIUC); Mark Dittrich, planner, Minnesota Department of Agriculture, coordinating a team from the University of Minnesota and other state and federal agencies and conservation groups. Kult said this grant will increase awareness of the bioreactor practice. “The intent of the grant is to make resource professionals, such as NRCS personnel, watershed coordinators and drainage contractors comfortable with recommending a bioreactor to farmers,” Kult commented. “We will do this by developing protocols for placement, design and optimal management of a bioreactor. The grant will allow us to investigate the optimal management of a bioreactor to get the most cost-effective nitrate reduction while minimizing production of undesirable anaerobic by-products such as methyl-mercury, dissolved organic carbon and nitrous oxide.” Minnesota partner Mark Dittrich stated, “This grant is great news, along with the opportunity to work with NRCS, university scientists, the drainage industry and soybean growers. "The timing is important, in light of recent reports of a measured increase in nitrate load from the Upper Mississippi River Basin,” Dittrich said. “There is a growing interest among farmers and conservation staff in nextgeneration woodchip bioreactor designs to reduce biogas and methyl mercury, as well as a high level of interest with Minnesota scientists and agency staff who are studying the discovery of woodchip bioreactors’ ability to filter-out soluble phosophorus discharge in tile lines...even under snow melt conditions. These findings, thanks to dedicated university staff regarding the reduction in phosphorus, may be as or more important as the discovery of nitrate removal with woodchip bioreactors. We look forward to getting started working with our partners on the project." To learn more about bioreactors as a conservation practice, visit www.iasoybeans.com/environment/.

COOK’S CORNER Apple Sweet and Sour Brats
Beef Pupusas & Curtido Slaw Ingredients 1½ lbs beef flank steak ¼ c fresh cilantro, chopped (optional) Marinade: ¾ c fresh cilantro, chopped ½ c chopped fresh mango ½ c chopped fresh pineapple ½ c fresh lime juice 1/3 c olive oil 2 tbsp achiote paste 2 cloves garlic, chopped ¼ tsp pepper
Ingredients 1 32-oz jar sauerkraut, rinsed & well drained 12 bratwurst 1 cup applesauce ½ cup apple juice 1 onion, sliced
Slaw: 1 pkg (16 oz) coleslaw mix (about 7½ c) 1½ c chopped fresh mangoes 1 tablespoon butter 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 large apple, cored and cubed 1 teaspoon cinnamon salt & black pepper, to taste
Instructions 1. In a large saucepan, simmer sauerkraut with applesauce and apple juice for 20 minutes. 2. In a large deep skillet, heat butter over medium heat; add onions and sauté, stirring frequently, until very soft, about 10 minutes. Add brown sugar, and cook for 5 more minutes. The onions should be caramelized. Add apple pieces and sauté for 5 more minutes until apples are just tender. Add to sauerkraut along with cinnamon, salt and pepper. Keep warm until ready to serve. 3. Prepare a medium-hot fire in grill. Grill bratwurst directly over fire, turning, until evenly browned, about 5-7 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F. 4. Remove bratwurst from grill and serve with sauerkraut.
Pupusas: 2 c instant corn masa ½ tsp salt 1 c shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 small red onion, thinly sliced 1½ c chopped fresh pineapple
1½ c warm water, divided ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions 1. Place marinade ingredients in food processor or blender container and process until almost smooth. Cover and refrigerate ¾ cup for dressing. Place beef steak and remaining marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn steak to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 hours or overnight, turning occasionally. 2. Combine slaw ingredients and reserved ¾ cup marinade in large bowl; toss to coat. Season with salt, as desired. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. 3. Prepare pupusas. Combine corn masa, 1¼ cups water, salt and pepper in large bowl until soft dough forms. Gradually add more water, if necessary. Divide dough into 6 equal balls. Make indentation in center of each ball; fill with about 2½ tablespoons cheese. Push dough up and around cheese to completely enclose. Flatten balls with hands or rolling pin into 5½ to 6-inch discs, making sure dough stays sealed. Cover with damp paper towels until ready to cook. Spray large skillet or griddle with nonstick cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat until hot. Place pupusas in skillet in batches; cook 2 to 4 minutes or until lightly browned, turning once. Keep warm. 4. Meanwhile, remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Place steak on rack of broiler pan so surface of beef is 2 to 3 inches from heat. Broil 13 to 18 minutes for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning once. Remove; let stand 5 to 10 minutes. Carve steak across the grain into thin slices. Season with salt, as desired. 5. Place 1 pupusa on each serving plate. Top with slaw and beef. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.

Farm safety depends on community support It takes a community to ensure farmers and their families stay safe. No one knows this better than a farmer. Not only do farmers depend on skilled first responders in case of an accident, but they, too, fight fires, rescue neighbors and respond to medical emergencies. These efforts require continual training that can cost thousands of dollars. To encourage farm safety community partnerships, the National Education Center for Agricultural Safety (NECAS), chose “Safety Counts: Your Community Depends On It” as the theme for National Farm Safety & Health Week, September 18 through 24. “Farmers wear many hats. They know and value the importance of having first responders in their communities who are trained to handle farm incidents,” said Sheri Bane, COUNTRY Financial director of commercial agribusiness and product development. “We’ve been providing farm safety grants to county Farm Bureaus for seven years. We were pleased to give $3,500 to county Farm Bureaus last year to help train firefighters and emergency medical technicians.” Scott Etheridge, Princeton (Illinois) Fire Department lieutenant and part-time farmer, noted that a COUNTRY farm safety grant to Bureau County Farm Bureau helped train 50
a 15-year firefighting veteran. In 2009, 42 percent of people entrapped in grain died, according to the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers. From 1964 to 2005, 74 percent of grain entrapments resulted in death. The society noted that more people are surviving grain bin incidents due to added emphasis on safer procedures, improved first responder training and grain rescue tubes. Grain bin rescue tubes, metal cylinders that relieve pressure and prevent grain from completely engulfing a trapped victim, can cost $5,000. First responders can hammer metal panels of the tubes into loose grain around a trapped person. After clasping together the panels, responders scoop out grain until the trapped person can climb free or be pulled out of the grain. Many fire departments have become proactive in their efforts to keep local farmers safe. For example, Etheridge said the fire department sponsors public farm safety radio announcements during harvest firefighters and first responders last year. “Our county Farm Bureau is a huge asset in helping steer us in the right direction. They help us get people involved in safety training who have a vested interest. You have to create local partnerships to make this happen,” said Etheridge,
season. “We would be happy if we never used our rescue equipment,” said Etheridge. “Farm safety is paramount to us because we serve farmers and our firefighters are farmers. Farm safety is truly a community effort.”

DNR’s pheasant season forecast: small gain in southern Iowa, fewer birds in northern Iowa Results of Iowa’s statewide survey of upland game are in and show a small gain in pheasant numbers in southern Iowa and fewer birds across northern Iowa, according to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Overall, pheasant hunters will continue to find better hunting in Iowa’s pheasant belt – northwest, central and northcentral Iowa, and a few more birds in south central and southwest Iowa. The Iowa pheasant population has fallen to a new all-time low with a statewide average of seven birds counted for each 30 mile route driven, after a fifth winter in a row with above normal snowfall, followed by a wet nesting season. The 2010 statewide average was 11 birds per route. This drop in pheasant numbers is not restricted to Iowa. South Dakota pheasant population is down 46 percent; Minneso-
ta was down 64 percent and Nebraska counted 20 percent few birds than last year. “The last five years have been really frustrating for Iowa hunters and for the department,” said Todd Bogenschutz, upland wildlife research biologist for the DNR. “Plain and simple, we have lost hens and nests consecutively each of the last five years because of unprecedented weather patterns for Iowa.” Parts of the northwest, north central, central and east central regions reported some fair bird counts in 2011, but small areas with better pheasant numbers may also be found in other regions. The 2011 pheasant hunting season runs from October 29 through January 10, 2012.

New habitat access program enrolls 1,366 acres for hunting Iowa’s new hunting access program has enrolled 10 sites in nine counties opening 1,366 acres of private land to hunters, starting on September 1. The program is part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture farm bill. The Iowa DNR was awarded a $1.5 million grant by the USDA to test a pilot program. The program provides funding to landowners who voluntarily sign up to install wildlife habitat or habitat improvements on their land. In turn, the landowner allows hunters access to their land. “Landowners are interested in this program and based on the response during this first year, we are optimistic that we could increase the number of sites and acres enrolled each year,” said Kelly Smith, Iowa Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Bureau, who is leading the new program. Hunters who choose to hunt on these areas must obey hunting laws and must remain only on the land enrolled in the program. “Hunters will need to familiarize themselves with the property and not stray off onto private land not enrolled in the program,” Smith said. “They should consider themselves guests and act accordingly. Pick
up after yourself, identify your target and what is behind your target before taking a shot and respect private property.” Smith said maps are online that will identify property boundaries, including downloadable GPS files, at http://www.iowadnr.gov/Hunting/PlacestoHuntShoot.aspx then click on Habitat and Access Program. Land enrolled in the program will have signs identifying it, similar to signs that identify other public hunting areas. “Of all the hunter surveys we do, one of the top issues is access to areas to hunt so we are interested in finding out what kind of use these sites receive this fall,” Smith said. “We hope we continue to have landowner interest in the program that will allow us to install or improve habitat on the ground and provide access to new areas to hunt.” Counties with property enrolled in the program and the acres enrolled per site are listed below.

SEPTEMBER 2011
Iowa State Extension agronomists: ENTERING THE HARVEST, from Page 1 Contributing to September’s growing report wrap-up and harvest preview are: Mark Licht – stationed in Nevada, serves Sac, Calhoun, Crawford, Carroll, Greene, Boone, Shelby, Audubon, Guthrie, Dallas, and Polk counties in central Iowa, has been with ISU Extension since 2002. J o e l D e J o n g – works in Lyon, Osceola, Sioux, O’Brien, Plymouth, Cherokee, Woodbury, Ida, Monona, Harrison, and Crawford counties in western Iowa, from Le Mars, has been with ISU Extension since 1981. Clarke McGrath – a Corn and Soybean Initiative Partner Program Manager and agronomist in Harlan with statewide duties along with assisting agronomists in Crawford, Harrison, Shelby and Audubon counties, joined ISU Extension in 2000. John Holmes – stationed in Clarion, serves Worth, Cerro Gordo, Humboldt, Wright, Franklin, Webster, Hamilton, and Hardin counties in north central Iowa, has been with ISU Extension since 1977. Q. How has the divergent weather across the state this growing season affected your region? A. Licht : The weather in central and west central Iowa has - maybe - been better than other parts of the state. The heat hit statewide in July. West central Iowa seemed to be on the edge of some storm systems that went to the north or to the south, but from about Wall Lake east through the northern parts of central Iowa, it has been dry throughout August. Those dry conditions combined with the heat stress in July will definitely impact corn and soybean yields; particularly because the crop matured so much quicker than it would have under normal conditions. I should mention that the eastern part of central Iowa experienced a derecho (high-velocity, straight-line windstorm) on July 11. Everything in the path laid flat for a day and then came back. The worst hit fields did experience pollination issues. Estimates have put about 200,000 to 300,000 acres affected in central Iowa alone. DeJong : I have some of the counties that border the Missouri River. I don’t know how many acres have been lost, but that (flooding) has been a total disaster for those in that area. Not only did they lose a crop from this year, but they have debris to get rid of, sediment added to the top of their fields, and other problems (to solve) before they can even think of planning for a crop next year. In the area I serve, that is the worst problem for 2011. Additionally, we have had areas with hail damage, flat corn from wind, more than the normal amount of acres lost to standing water early in the season, and parts of the area that received very little rain from early July until today (August 31). With limited rain and the heat from July, we have reduced our corn yields from past and recent yield levels. McGrath : We had a range of events, from the floods, to wind damage, to hail and combinations of wind and hail. It’s really hard to estimate acres impacted…probably a couple hundred thousand in west and southwest Iowa. Of course, not all were impacted to the same degree. We had some fields that never got planted from the floods, and then the wind and hail varied from complete crop loss to some areas where losses will be minimal. Holmes : We’ve had high winds in several areas of the counties I serve. Those winds lodged corn and soybeans. The earliest winds were in early August and we have had storms regularly since. Most recently we had a sever storm that went across our area last week (August 22-27) and really lodged corn. Q. How are crops progressing in your area? A. Licht : I’d guess that some areas of central and west central Iowa may see soybean harvest starting in the next two to three weeks. Leaves are starting to change color and drop now. Corn is being harvested for silage now, high moisture corn will likely start in the next week or two. Seed corn production fields are starting to be harvested in central Iowa this past week. As you might guess, the corn and soybean crop have both matured quicker this year than normal due to a combination of heat and dry conditions. Some might add the corn crop is maturing more quickly due to the amount of Goss’s wilt speeding things up. DeJong : The silage harvest has started; a few are already done. I think in two weeks those that harvest high moisture corn will start, but most fields are at ¼ to
½ milk line in corn right now, maybe two to three weeks from maturity; then we have to dry it down to a harvest moisture. If we have hot, windy weather we will move that time period up closer. Soybeans are closer to the R6 stage, when pods at the tops are getting pretty full-sized. I even observed a couple of fields starting to show that color change. The first fields might be harvested in mid-September. I think the third week might get more activity – but we will see how the weather between now and then moves it towards maturity and dry-down. McGrath : We will likely hit black layer in the next week or two in many fields, so harvest will start shortly after that, probably hit big time the last week of September unless it stays warm and dry, we could start earlier. Of course, if it gets cool and wet, it will delay harvest. We will see some shorter season hybrids start to come out first, it is possible that we could see guys get started the second week in September on some of those fields, maybe even a little sooner depending on weather. Holmes : Early soybean varieties are turning and beginning to drop leaves. I’d say we have 50 to 60 percent of soybean fields that are more yellow than green and dropping leaves. The remaining fields will be turning late this week or early next (week of September 5). Corn is about two weeks away from physiological maturity, black layer. Many farmers expect to be harvesting corn by September 20. Q. How is silage harvest progressing? A. Licht : Silage harvest is starting. I’m not the best at estimating tonnage and haven’t heard any numbers yet this year. My guess is that tonnage is probably going to be down slightly due to less than ideal growing conditions during the second half of the season. DeJong : Silage harvest has started; no tonnage reports yet. McGrath : We just don’t have a lot of silage around here, so not a huge point of reference, a few guys have started already. Holmes : Silage harvest is done in most instances; I did not hear yields. Q. What have been the outstanding pest issues this year? A. Licht : Pests have been an issue, but not the pests that one might think. In corn that have been issues with some corn rootworm trait failures. The first two I know about in western Iowa were detected this year: one in southern Sac County and one in southern Carroll County. The other corn insect this year was aphids in corn. The two that were most commonly found were corn leaf aphids and bird cherry oat aphids. They came in and populated fields the first part of August. Most fields were in the dent stage, but some were in the dough stage. Early corn diseases included gray leaf spot, northern corn leaf blight and Goss’s wilt. As the heat kicked in, gray leaf spot and northern corn leaf blight slowed in development. Goss’s wilt continued to progress at a good pace. On the soybean pest side of things, this year was better than last year. Bean leaf beetles and soybean aphids did not present the problems they have in the past. Japanese beetles were probably the most common soybean pest question this year. They have been progressing from eastern to western Iowa. Questions kept coming from mid-June through July across central Iowa. On the disease side, sudden death syndrome was present in central and west central Iowa, but was infrequent and isolated to low wet areas and compacted areas of infected fields. This was a drastic improvement compared to previous years. White mold was not as much of a problem this year as in past years, either. We did have fields that had fair pressure from frogeye leaf spot; even a couple that were sprayed with a fungicide to provide some control. DeJong : Soybean aphids in northern counties were heavy. Not all fields were treated – but most. Corn aphids in mid-August became an issue, too. Goss’s wilt in certain corn hybrids is very noticeable in much of the area I cover. I think that will be a real focus in hybrid selection for 2012, particularly in corn after corn. It is causing significant yield losses in some fields. McGrath : Corn aphids caused some trouble in parts of western Iowa, a lot of acres were treated in mid-August. Other than that, a few cutworms early in the season, a few spider mites in beans in late July and early August, and some diseases in both crops. Some fungicide applications went on for the diseases, mostly in corn. Holmes : Concerning weeds—control of glyphosate resistant weeds, such as water-

operate safely during harvest hemp and giant ragweed, farmers will need to use a more complete approach to weed management rather than just using glyphosate. Bean leaf beetle or soybean aphids were not a problem except for a few fields. Aphids in corn were a problem late in the season We also have seen some resurgence of corn rootworm pressures. Goss’s wilt in corn was the major disease concern. Many fields had Goss’s wilt present and at fairly severe levels. This was the first time that most growers had to deal with this disease. We also had significant gray leaf spot pressure in corn; there was more than I’ve ever seen in fields in our area. Soybeans really did not have disease problems in 2011.
hoods quite good, others disappointing. McGrath : A good friend of mind coined the term “beauty is only end-row deep” this year. And that is very true. We see a lot of great looking corn with large ears on field borders…and then as you head into the field, the beauty fades and reality sets in. The yield monitors will show a lot more 140 to 160 bushel areas this year than the 220 to 240 bushel areas we have seen the last few years in many fields. All the prognosticators have differing opinions of what is out there, it’s hard to know what to believe. Beans are always harder to estimate than corn, so I hate to even hazard a guess at them. Holmes : Soybean yields will likely be above normal. Corn yields will be more normal or more typical. We had very hot weather during pollination and this affected total kernel set. We’ve also seen lots of “tip back” where the tips of ears are barren.
Q. Preliminary yield estimates? A. Licht: The early August USDA estimates pegged the Iowa corn average at 177 bushels per acre and the Iowa soybean Q. What suggestions do average at 52 bushels per y o u have for producers as acre. Estimates for central t h e y head to the fields for Iowa were 182 and 54; h a r vest? estimates for west central A .

Rules can help children recognize dangerous behaviors of farm animals Working with animals on a farm setting can be a very dangerous task, especially for children. In order to keep kids safe in rural, farm or ranch settings, it is important for adults to teach children of the dangers animals pose and how to safely interact with animals. “The best piece of advice is to teach your children to stay away from farm animals completely unless they have adult supervision. Farm animals can be very unpredictable and can often engage in dangerous behavior, putting you and your child at risk,” said Bernard Geschke, program specialist with the Progressive Agriculture Foundation (PAF). Geschke offers the following rules parents can share with their children: Stay away from mothers with young offspring. It is a normal instinct for a mother to protect her baby, and if startled or threatened, a mother animal could move to protect her baby, becoming very dangerous. Be quiet and calm. When you are around farm animals, be calm, move slowly, avoid making sudden jerks or movement, and always approach them from the front so they can see what you are doing. Don’t scream or run around them because it will upset them. Do not interrupt animals that are eating. Animals may become aggressive if they feel that their food supply is being threatened. Stay away from farm animals. They can be unpredictable and should be treated with caution at all times. Watch out for animals with raised or pinned ears, bared teeth, raised hair on the back or tail or those that are pawing at the ground, stomping or snorting. These are signs that the animal is in an aggressive or upset state, and it is best to stay away from them during those times. The mission of the Progressive Agriculture Foundation is to provide education and training to make farm, ranch and rural life safer and healthier for children and their communities.

PARTS
A series of farm fatalities in Iowa this summer prompted a University of Iowa College of Public Health program to issue a hazard alert warning Iowa farmers about the risk of injury and death associated with the overturn of older tractors. The Iowa Fatality Assessment Control and Evaluation (Iowa FACE) program is investigating four fatal injuries involving tractor overturns that occurred in Iowa during June and July. All four accidents involved farm workers over 70 years of age. “On Iowa farms, many of the older tractors in use today are not equipped with rollover protection structures,” said John Lundell, deputy director of the Injury Prevention Resource Center in the UI College of Public Health. “These tractors can be quite unsafe to operate, and as a result, tractor overturn is the leading cause of farm worker deaths.” From 2003 through 2010, 74 farm operators and workers in Iowa died from tractor-related injuries. Most of these fatalities were associated with tractors that did not have rollover protection structures to prevent the operator from being pinned under or thrown from the tractor. “Rollover protective structures do not prevent rollovers from occurring,” Lundell continued. “But when installed and used properly with a seatbelt, these devices are 99 percent effective in preventing injury or death.” To help minimize the risks associated with a tractor overturn, the Iowa FACE program recommends that anyone operating a tractor without rollover protection structures should contact a local implement dealer to install the device and seat belts in the vehicle. In addition, farmers must be aware of terrain characteristics that may increase the risk of a rollover, including ditches, holes, slopes and unstable ground near roadways. The Iowa FACE program is conducted by the Injury Prevention Research Center at the UI in conjunction with the Iowa Department of Public Health and its Office of the State Medical Examiner. The Iowa FACE Program collects basic information on all occupational fatalities in the state of Iowa. Additionally, it collects in-depth information on select fatal injuries, occasionally conducting detailed on-site investigations. Iowa FACE alerts employers, employees and those who are self-employed, such as farmers, making recommendations and program suggestions to help prevent similar fatalities.

ISU researchers earn USDA grant to compare bioenergy cropping systems
Straight-line wind damages corn in
Iowa State University researchers are comparing the economic potential and environmental impacts of bioenergy cropping systems to help policymakers and producers make informed land management decisions. The project received a three-year, $725,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture - National Institute of Food and Agriculture to compare four feedstock production systems. Feedstock production systems included in the largescale study are continuous corn, with and without a winter cover crop; reconstructed multi-species prairie plants, with and without fertilizer; and a conventional corn-soybean cash grain system for baseline comparison. Specifically, researchers will be comparing and cataloging each system’s potential for biomass production, fossil-fuel replacement, and net energy returns; reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and increased belowground carbon storage; maintenance of soil quality and reduction of water-quality impacts of nutrient exports; and net economic return to biomass producers and the environment. Results will be used to make predictions about the long-term economic and environmental sustainability of each feedstock production system on a landscape and regional scale.

Grassley believes direct payments will be reduced in new farm bill by Gordon Wolf As Congress goes back to work after the Labor Day holiday, some initial work may be done on a new farm bill that will see a reduction in expenditures. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack indicated a reduction is imminent. In a May 26 speech to the members of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, Vilsack stated, “I have no doubts that the next Farm Bill will be smaller than the one agreed to in 2008. In acknowledging that reality, I hope that this committee will give serious thought to your priorities for American agriculture – your priorities for USDA – and to the values of the American people.”
He continued that the USDA is prepared to do as much as it can with fewer resources but added that cuts will have real impacts for American agriculture and the American people. While visiting Denison on August 29 to conduct a town hall meeting, U.S. Senator Charles Grassley, a member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, believes some work will be done to rewrite the Farm Bill this fall. “I don’t know how you can get a comprehensive rewrite this fall, but between now and October 15, if the Agriculture Committee wants to be involved in the deficit reduction, we have to give some ideas to the super debt reduction committee that was set up a month ago,” the
Republican Senator from Iowa stated. “I hope they are willing to listen to us and I hope we are willing to put forth something.” Grassley explained a total rewrite of the Farm Bill has to be completed before 2013 or else the present Farm Bill has to be extended. He said normally it takes six months to rewrite the bill. Grassley believes the new Farm Bill will have some reduction in direct payments but that other safety nets will stay in place. He added that some people want to look at changing crop insurance, but said, “Farmers I’ve talked to believe if we won’t do anything else, we ought to keep a very active, robust crop insurance program.”
“Fair” lease provides best option Similar to flex lease but without as many variables The big questions this year is either “How much can I get for my farm’s cash rent? “ or “What is a fair cash rent for my land?” With Iowa farmland reaching historic values it is crucial that landowners throughout the state work with their tenants to ensure that they reach a fair or market rental rate. Most landowners have not kept their rates up to date with current market values since the commodity market has changed dramatically over the last year. Market rents are a function of income expectations less production costs. Tenants can only pay so much but also some tenants have a better ability to produce and production costs can vary also. In many cases, landowners are hesitant to ask higher rates because they have been working with the same tenant for many years and might even be related. These interactions between landowners and tenants may be uncomfortable but are necessary part of keeping up with the value of their lease. If you are a landowner that wishes to maintain your current tenant, one of the best options for you is a “Fair” lease. A “Fair” lease is a spinoff of a flex lease option but without as many variables. A big problem with a flex lease is the complexity and many options for setting the base rent and figuring the flex payment. A Fair

Lease option is similar, but takes a much more standardized approach to determine a fair market cash rental rate. If you can verify the yield then the Fair Lease option offered by US Farm Lease (www.usfarmlease.com) does the calculations for you based upon standard tenant outof-pocket costs and local average market rates. In 2011 the flex payment may add another $100 to $200/acre above ISU average cash rent rates. Tenants are normally open to flex or fair leases since they have a lower upfront cost. This really appeals to young or beginning farmers where they can compete with the larger operators in the open market with this lease method. A growing number of landowners have either recently inherited land or are unable to continue operating the farm on their own. These landowners are looking to start a leasing arrangement with a new tenant. One of the questions asked the most by landowners is “How much is my land worth?” This question is a difficult one to answer because a number of factors ultimately influence a farm’s value. The one true way to determine what a piece of land is worth is through a bidding process. A common problem that occurs too often is that tenants are not aware of land that is available to rent. An open bidding process with an application process with references alleviates this problem by making the land up for lease available to all potential tenants and the owner can chose their tenant on merits other than the highest cash rent. It also solves the problem of ensuring the owner they can see the true market rental rate for their property. The foundation for determining and receiving a fair rental rate is being able to understand and know as much as possible about your land. This can be accomplished
by maintaining current and accurate records. Most landowners currently on cash rent have no reliable information on their farm’s yields, fertility, conservation plan, drainage tile or other valuable information. These factors affect the income your tenant and you can attain from the land and split accordingly. It is imperative that over time an owner or operator is able to look back at the farm’s information and determine its rental value. A significant issue in maintaining records over time is the storage of these records. With technology playing such a major role in everyday life, this problem is quickly going away. Now it is efficient, effective and simple to maintain, edit, view and store all records to a database online. This way records are easily viewable by all parties, including landowners and tenants. These types of record-keeping systems remove the problem of losing and misplacing important records over time. An example of a company on the brink of this technology is US Farm Records (www.usfarmrecords.com). When dealing with farmland it is important to think of your property and rental arrangements as a business. In order to be successful, it is critical that you are receiving fair market value for your land and that you have access to all information regarding that land. The current market is one that has rarely been seen before. Now more than ever both landowners and tenants have the opportunity and resources available to make sure the profits are known and shared accordingly. When it’s all said and done, reasonable landowners and tenants are partners and need each other to be successful.

New terrace design for Iowa’s gentle slopes A new type of terrace is lining the southern Iowa landscape. Grass Front Farmable Back Slope terraces are a growing trend on gently sloping cropland (1 to 6 percent slopes). These types of terraces are becoming more popular because they are less expensive to construct than broad base terraces and easier to farm around than narrow base or grass back slope terraces. The first grass front farmable back slope terraces in Iowa were constructed just more than a decade ago in Keokuk and Jefferson counties. Also called reverse grass back slope terraces, they allow farming right up to the edge of a gentle slope of vegetation that helps reduce the rate of runoff and reduce soil erosion. State Technician Scott Shifflett with the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship - Division of Soil Conservation (IDALS-DSC) reported that about 75 percent of the terraces they construct in Keokuk County are grass front farmable back slope. The terraces are considered storage terraces, much like a traditional grassed back slope terrace, where water is collected and stored until it can infiltrate into the ground or is released through a stable outlet. Doug Morningstar, area engineer with USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Williamsburg, said they originally designed grass front farmable back slope terraces as a modified broad base terrace. Broad base terraces, which are farmed on all sides, are terraces built on flatter ground. Following are other benefits of grass front farmable back slope terraces: Intake is against the front slope. The location of the intake makes navigating a tractor much easier, and causes less damage to equipment. “The intakes are much easier to avoid while picking corn,” said Bill Bolinger, soil conservation technician for NRCS in Creston. “We have been offsetting the intake upwards five to seven feet of the channel. There will be slight deviation in row pattern on both sides of the terrace instead of one larger deviation on the bottom side.” Less ground out of production. Compared to narrow base terraces where a farmer may need to swerve as much as 20 feet with a planter, grass front farmable back slope terraces allow for a much straighter pass. Reduced damage from heavy rain events. Farmers with grass front farmable back slope terraces are reporting less damage following heavy rains than farmers with other types of terraces. For example, when narrow base terraces overtop, they will generally blow out clear to the bottom – a repair that requires a bulldozer to fix. “If grass front farmable back slope terraces overtop, they will most
The intake is much closer to the base of the terrace than in other types of terraces, allowing more farmable area.
A benefit of grass front farmable back slope terraces is less cropland taken out of production than other types of terraces, while still attaining conservation benefits of reduced runoff, erosion protection and wildlife habitat. Photos submitted
often have sheet erosion where there are a lot of small areas along the backside that need filled in and repaired,” said Phoebe Wiley, soil conservation technician with NRCS in Fairfield. “In a lot of cases this can be fixed much easier by the farmer, using a tractor with a loader bucket or a small scraper.” Less maintenance. The farmable backside of these terraces reduces the grassed slope, which has a tendency to grow up in trees and weeds if not maintained properly. “A farmable slope is also less attractive to varmints that like to dig holes in terraces,” said Wiley. Less expensive than broad base terraces. On gentle slopes, where grass front farmable back slope terraces are appropriate, there is a cost savings compared to the cubic yards of soil needed to build a broad base terrace. On the average, these types of terraces cost about $.50 less per linear foot to construct than broad base terraces. Contractors like them. Dirt movers prefer grass front farmable back slope terraces over broad base terraces, due to reduced yardage. “This helps to reduce the problem of damaging existing shallow lines in the borrow area,” said Bolinger. A potential problem with all terraces is keeping proper vegetation established. With grass front farmable back slope terraces, killing the vegetation on the grass front
slope with the sprayer is a common problem. “We encourage contractors to seed right behind the dozer,” said Wiley, “where the tracks make for a good, firm seedbed. Once the seeding is established we struggle with commercial sprayer applications, in particular, spraying the front side killing the seeding.” Wiley said leaving the front bare is an issue because the front toe will show signs of erosion after heavy rains. “Most of that soil sloughs off and falls around the intake, potentially affecting the entire function of the terrace,” she stated. If a producer receives funding for terraces through one of the federal, state or local financial assistance programs, a maintenance agreement holds the producer accountable to reseed a bare slope as soon as possible. NRCS offers financial and technical assistance for terraces through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). In fiscal year 2011, NRCS offered farmers a payment of $1.85 per linear foot to construct grass front farmable back slope terraces. IDALS-DSC and local soil and water conservation districts may also have programs available that help finance the cost of building terraces. For more information about terraces, visit a local NRCS office located in the USDA Service Center.
The main problem with grass front farmable back slope terraces is commercial sprayers killing the grass vegetation, leaving the terrace front bare of vegetation and susceptible to erosion.
