Wall Lake family hitched to the love of horses After nearly 30 years, Belgians continue to be a passion for Determann family by Greg Forbes The first glance in the living room of their Wall Lake home tells a fair amount about the passion of the Determann family. Cabinets and shelves are lined with miniature horse figurines from around the world, and in a separate room, a mantle displays a horse team wagon complete with a replica horse hitch. The collection of wooden, ceramic and stone horses stems from the Determanns’ history as horse trainers. Glen Determann’s father sparked Glen’s passion for horses.

“My father lived in times when they used horses for farming,” Glen said. “So I’ve been around ponies and horses my whole life.” Glen, his wife, Janice, and his kids have raised blonde Belgian horses since 1983. “I chose Belgians because they are very docile and I like the color,” Glen said. While Glen’s father used horses in his farming career, Glen explained that land today is too expensive to farm with horses. However, every horse on the Determann ranch will or has farmed at some point. Glen sends his horses to an Amish farm where they break the horse by utilizing its strength and en-

ergy for daily farm operation purposes. Throughout the lifetime of the Belgian horse operation, the Determanns have raised and trained horses to pull wagons as part of a hitch team. Glen, his family and their Belgians have participated in parades all over the country, including the Circus Parade in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. One parade, in particular, sticks out in Glen’s mind. The Determanns were asked to drive a hitch in the Frontier Days Parade. Western singer Michael Martin Murphey was supposed to join the Determanns in the wagon and perform but declined because of the weather. So, Glen and members of his family would sing songs as they passed crowds. “Everybody thought it was actually him singing as we went by,” Glen said. Glen, now retired from the banking and insurance

business, has made horse breeding his full-time job. On an average day, he will leave his house in Wall Lake to tend to his horses and return to the house between 5 and 6 p.m. But even during his career, the horses would have Glen’s undivided attention on the weekends. His efforts as a breeder earned a few of his horses national recognition. “We breed our horses so they are top wherever they are at,” Glen stated. One horse from the Determann ranch, in particular, stands out among the rest. “Justin was the lead horse of the best hitch at the National Western Stock Show,” Glen said of the Belgian he raised and then sold when it was four years old. According to Glen, Justin had perfect size and form but intimidated trainers with his sometimes stubborn demeanor. Determann . . . Page 3

Determann, from Page 1 One trainer wanted to get rid of the horse because of his rough attitude. But the trainer was replaced with a different one that appreciated Justin’s natural grace, beauty and style. “You just couldn’t match that horse,” Glen said. Nearly 10 years ago, the National Belgian Review reported that Dettermanns’ registered the most Belgians in the United States. Glen and Janice explained that, while the accolades are flattering, their Belgian ranch does not exist for awards and money but as a way for the entire family to stay connected with each other. “Had we not been doing this and as far away as the kids are now, we would not be as close a family,” Janice said. She explained that every Determann child has driven a hitch in the Clay County Fair in Spencer. Although the amount of parades the Determann family enters per year has decreased, the horses remain a reason for the kids to come home. The Belgians have also become a part of another generation of Determanns. Glen and

Glen and Janice Determann, of Wall Lake, along with the rest of the Determann family, have bred and raised blonde Belgian horses for nearly 30 years. Glen displays a photo book that chronicles the decades of Determann Belgians while Janice holds a picture of Justin, the prized Belgian raised by the Determanns until he was four years old. Photos by Greg Forbes

Janice showed pictures of every grandchild on the back of the wagon as Glen drove it. “If you really want a good family deal, get into horsing,” Glen advised and explained that when he feels he cannot continue to raise and maintain the horses, he hopes one of his children buy a part of the operation. Today, Glen manages about 20 head of horses but at one time looked over as many as 40 animals. He explained that with feed prices, his age and his chil-

dren being away from home, he has had to scale down on size. Glen acknowledged that nearly 30 years of experience has made the breeding business run like clockwork but he still reads one breeding magazine after another. However, his reading and studying is not the main source of the Determanns’ continued success. “You couldn’t do well in this business if you didn’t like it,” Glen said. “I think it should be love, not ‘like’,” Janice replied.

Glen, pictured with a pony born in June, said the Determanns’ Belgian operation is not about money or fame; it’s strictly about family bonding. Every Determann child has driven a team of horses in the Clay County Fair parade in Spencer. Today, the Determann children share their childhood experiences with their own children.

Strikes and demands Over the years, I’ve witnessed strikes and walkouts of many different groups of people around the United States. Some felt they weren’t being paid enough. Some felt they weren’t given enough perks in their job. Some felt as though their work was being taken for granted. The recent strike by the Chicago teachers made me think about farming families. What if the nation’s farmers went on strike? Yes, yes, I know this is virtually impossible. Cattle, hogs, sheep, chickens and other farm animals need to be fed and cared for. Crops need to be planted and harvested at a certain time. A lot of farm work is time sensitive, the results of which are not seen until days or even months later. If a farmer suddenly stopped working, it would take a while for that action to affect the marketplace. It’s all a game of supply and demand. Teachers, factory workers and even Hollywood writers can strike because the effect

of their actions is immediate. Students do not get taught and are at home with their parents or out on the streets getting into trouble. Cars, machinery and other products stop being produced and companies start to lose money. Actors, crew members and other people associated with television and film products stop working, and therefore quit their nonnecessary spending, also affecting the economy. Sometimes the workers on strike get their demands met; sometimes they don’t. But, it almost always causes bad feelings with everyone associated, with each “side” talking about how the other “side” doesn’t understand them. I’m not certain it’s worth it. What would be the immediate affect if farmers went on strike? Nothing. Nada. Zip. The general public wouldn’t be immediately affected. Farming is a longgame. But, in a “wouldn’t it be nice” dream, here are a few

demands from farm families who are striking in the land of make believe. First, the working hours suck. If you have animals. you have to care for them or hire someone else to care for them every day. You don’t have time off for vacations to just leave for a week or two, then come back to start working again. Also, most farmers are up early in the morning, sometimes before the sun comes up, and out working until the sun goes down. Maybe not in winter, but you get my drift. At many jobs, you get more vacation time the longer you work there. So, could farmers strike for a set number of vacation days? Would that mean that my husband who has been farming for more than 30 years would have a few weeks off? Probably not. Second, let’s talk about pay. There’s not a set reliable paycheck in farming. You plant your crops and feed your animals and collect payment based on that day’s market demand when the crops are harvested or the animals are sent to be slaughtered. And even

THE

FARMER’S WIFE By Christy Welch then, you don’t get to keep that entire amount. It has to be invested in the next crop or the next group of animals to be fed out. In the land of make believe, farmers could strike for more money for the products of their labor, but then the cost of feed, seed, fertilizer, and other inputs would also rise. So, probably best not to strike on those terms either. Third, let’s talk about working conditions. Farm-

ers have to work no matter what the weather, and usually come in dirty and smelly. Animals need to be fed and checked every day, during blizzards, rainstorms, high wind. Maybe not during tornados, but you get my drift. It wouldn’t do any good to strike, as it seems that even weathermen can’t do anything about the weather. Last, how about other benefits like insurance? Some farm families where one spouse doesn’t work outside of the home pay higher single-unit insurance premiums instead of being able to purchase insurance as a group. Wouldn’t it be great to get lower premiums on health insurance for farm families? The only people who would lose money if farmers went on strike are the farm families themselves. Most of the farmers that I know, even though they complain about it at length while drinking coffee some days, love what they do and wouldn’t change careers. Wouldn’t be great if everyone had the same attitude?

This allows the corn to be safely fed to livestock pursuant to the FDA’s long-standing guidelines. Before doing any blending of corn containing aflatoxin, the grain dealers and the Department must sign a compliance agreement. A memorandum outlining the application process and a copy of the compliance agreement will be sent to all grain dealers licensed by the Department and can also be found on the Depart-

ment’s website at www.IowaAgriculture.go v under “Hot Topics.” The compliance agreement outlines the requirements for grain dealers that will be blending corn containing aflatoxin. The requirements including that the blended product is below the appropriate aflatoxin action level in corn used as or in animal feed as outlined in FDA Guidance Document, Compliance Policy Guide- Section 683.100, “Action Levels for Aflatoxin in Animal Feeds.” FDA granted Iowa a similar request during droughts in 2003 and 2005 when aflatoxin was found in the state. Also, each batch of blended corn must be analyzed to determine the aflatoxin level. The analysis must be performed using approved sampling and analysis protocols and testing

procedures outlined by the USDA Grain Inspection, Packers & Stockyards Administration (GIPSA). These results must be provided to the purchaser of the blended corn. The purchaser must also provide written assurance that the corn will be used for feed consistent with FDA guidance. Finally, the blended corn must be clearly identified and labeled for animal feed use only and corn containing aflatoxin levels greater than 500 ppb cannot be blended. On August 15, the Department submitted a request to FDA to allow corn containing more than 20 ppb of aflatoxin to be blended with nonaflatoxin containing corn for animal feed. The Department also started requiring the testing of all milk for aflatoxin starting on August 31. The FDA has estab-

lished 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. Corn with 200 ppb or less can be used with finishing swine greater than 100 lbs. in weight and corn with 300 ppb or less can be used in finishing beef cattle. More information about aflatoxin in corn can be found on the ISU Extension and Outreach “Dealing with Disasters” page at www.extension.iastate.e du/topic/recovering-disasters.

Earliest harvest ever continues Mostly dry conditions coupled with cooler temperatures during the week of September 9 through 15 aided harvest of Iowa’s crops, according to USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, Iowa Field Office. A few reports have been received of farmers completing corn harvest and moving to soybean harvest. One reporter mentioned, “This is the earliest harvest I have observed in my career.” The week’s activities included row crop harvesting, fall tillage, haying CRP acres, and hauling water for livestock. The week had six days suitable for fieldwork statewide. Topsoil moisture level was rated at 42 percent very short, 42 percent short, 16 percent adequate, and 0 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture was rated at 59 percent very short, 34 percent short, 7 percent adequate, and 0 percent surplus. Eighty-eight percent of the corn crop was mature, well ahead of last year’s 52 percent and the five-year average of 44 percent. Twenty-two percent of the corn crop had been harvested for grain or seed, more than three weeks ahead of normal. In fact, the corn harvest is more advanced than it has been on September 16 since the NASS Iowa Field Office began keeping records. Moisture content of all corn in the field was estimated at 23 percent while the moisture content of corn being harvested was estimated at 19 percent. Corn lodging was rated at 60 percent none, 22 percent light, 13 percent moderate, and 5 percent heavy. Ear droppage was rated at 68 percent none, 22 percent light, 9 percent moderate, and 1 percent heavy. The corn condition improved slightly and was rated at 20 percent very poor, 28 percent poor, 34 percent fair, 17 percent good, and 1 percent excellent. Ninety percent of the soybean crop was turning color, ahead of last year’s 67 percent and the five-year average of 75 percent. Fifty-four percent of Iowa’s soybean fields were dropping leaves, a 28 percentage point increase from the previous week. Six percent of the state’s soybean crop had been harvested with northwest Iowa leading the way with 12 percent. Soybean condition improved slightly and was rated at 12 percent very poor, 22 percent poor, 39 percent fair, 25 percent good, and 2 percent excellent.

SEPTEMBER 2012

A vibrant Deere on the road Ute dealership buys, sells and trades vintage tractors worldwide by Greg Forbes The best way to find the junction of Highway 141 and Highway 183 in Ute isn’t by looking for a highway or mileage marker. Just look for the bright green and yellow building on the side of the road. That vibrant building belongs to Larry Folk, owner of Folk and Sons Antique Tractors, a vintage and antique John Deere dealership. Folk became interested in antique tractors nearly 25 years ago and began selling tractors full-time nine years ago. He moved the business from Dunlap to Ute last year after what he called a split decision. “We unexpectedly sold the acreage the old shop was on and found this shop. We thought the location would be awesome,” Folk said. “Highway 141 is a major route from Sioux City to Des Moines and we get a lot of stop-in traffic I didn’t have in Dunlap.” Folk, with help from his business partner, Otto Kunze and a couple of their sons, buy, sell and trade old John Deere tractors from around the Unit-

ed States and Canada. From September 1 to 11 alone, Folk and Kunze, bought tractors from Kansas, Wisconsin, Indiana and Oklahoma and sold to Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, North Carolina, Nebraska and Indiana, among other states.

Folk explained that he has even shipped tractors to Australia, Belgium, Italy and Sweden. Unfortunately for Folk, he can’t accompany international shipments. “I would love to but I just can’t get away long enough,” he said.

If a customer desires a tractor out of stock at Folk and Sons, Folk and Kunze will travel anywhere in the country to fulfill the customer’s request. “We’ll go wherever we can find them. It’s good business and there’s a standing feeling among

Deere hunters that half the fun is in the search,” Folk said. He continued that searching for a customer’s needs often leads to a new pipeline for antique tractors. It creates another opportunity to meet people with a common interest,

which Folk described as the most enjoyable aspect of his antique tractor career. “I love the people, and selling and talking to them. I was at an auction in Indiana and was talking to some of my buddies I had met before and it felt

like a family reunion,” Folk said. The ties made at sales trips to auctions as well as ventures to far and away states have led to rare tractors landing on Folk’s lot. Recently, he sold a John Deere BNH that was just one of 53 ever made. Outside of auctions, Folk explained that the amount of traffic passing through Ute on Highway 141 generates widespread networking within the walls of his store. Some visitors stop in to buy a tractor, others pop in for a visit out of curiosity. After all, a bright green and yellow shop with tractors around its premises tends to illuminate a drab autumn sky like a neon light. Folk’s goal with the paint was to not only attract customers, but to give the shop the appearance of a vintage John Deere dealer. The dozens of antique tractors in the front provide a similar effect. The collection for sale changes constantly due to

demand. Folk explained that the longest a tractor from the current stock has been on sale was for less than six weeks. Collectors provide a big portion of Folk’s in-store sales. Some customers are retired farmers that see a tractor their father used while others plan to utilize the machine in the field. Whatever the reason for purchase, the inventory moves quickly. In 2012 alone, Folk and Sons has sold more than 200 tractors, mostly John Deere. “I tell people we are 99 percent green,” Folk chuckled and explained that Kunze was currently delivering an International 806 to Wisconsin. When Folk informed Kunze that he had purchased the International, Kunze agreed but suggested Folk put a tarp over it on the ride back to Ute. Folk mentioned that the “and Sons” portion of the business is on the signs of the shop for a reason. His

sons have helped with the store and worked as mechanics for several years. His son, Colin, recently returned from his fourth tour in Afghanistan and opened a second, smaller location in Hiawatha, Kansas.

Folk couldn’t explain how his love for John Deere began but he did, however, know the value of the John Deere name. “They are the most collectible tractors. And I really like the looks and sound of a classic two-

cylinder John Deere,” Folk said. Without a formal background in farming and the use of John Deere tractors, Folk has spent the last 25 years studying and continues to learn something every day. But he admitted

that Kunze has helped him more than any book or magazine. “His (Kunze’s) knowledge is nothing but a huge help to me. He’s probably forgotten more about John Deere tractors than I even know,” Folk said.

SEPTEMBER 2012

Organic farming organization wants support to continue in new farm bill by Gordon Wolf The Midwest Organic/Sustainable Education Service (MOSES) had a presence at the Farm Progress Show in Boone at the end of August. MOSES helps farmers that produce organic products, educates them about the market opportunities and serves as an educational resource. A focus of the organization was to raise awareness of the need to continue measures that support organic farming in the new farm bill. Joe Pedretti, organic education specialist with MOSES, said the current farm bill has been good for organic farming. Producers are compensated for putting land toward certification and the money provided for the conservation program has benefited organic farmers. “We would like to see some of those incentives continue in the next farm bill, certainly in the conservation areas,” Pedretti stated. The current farm bill will expire on September 30. In the past, farm bills have been extended if a new one hasn’t been passed. “The last (current) farm bill is the first time we saw very nice considerations for organic agriculture,” Pedretti said. “The complaint before that was organic farming was not represented very well. “We are definitely concerned what the new bill will contain. A lot of austerity is going on along with a need to cut. Of course, everybody wants to make sure their part isn’t cut,” he stated. Pedretti continued that this year’s drought served a bit of a double hit on organic farming as shortage situation already existed. He said organic farming saw a downswing in 2009 and lost some acreage due to that. In 2010 and 2011 organic farming saw double-digit growth rates and demand was up. However, it takes three years to transition land to organic production. In the meantime, the demand for organic products to be on the shelves is immediate. “We were in a shortage and high-price situation before the drought. Now with the drought on top of that, the real issue is availability (of organic products),” Pedretti explained. He said without the availability of organic feed, pro-

ducers of organic dairy, poultry and hogs would cull herds. “It is a troubling time, but we’re doing what we can,” Pedretti said. He continued because the drought came on the heels of a low point in production, organic corn is about $17 a bushel and organic soybeans are about $28 per bushel. Barley and other small grains will be the first products substituted for corn, Pedretti said, adding that small grains and alfalfa can be brought out of Canada to supply U.S. organic producers. Pedretti stated in the short-term, prices are going to go up on all livestock products and shortages of some products will exist. He added, though, that pasture is still available for grazing and organic producers still have stores of feed. The shortage will become evident when the middle of winter and then spring arrive. The dairy supply will drop because dairy producers will typically reduce their herd size, feed less grain and substitute more hay and forage. That results in lower production and higher prices. Pedretti provided details about converting land that has been in conventional production to organic production. “Put simply, in order to convert land that was in conventional production it takes 36 months from the last time something that was applied that is considered prohibited (for organic farming),” he explained. For livestock the main rule is that they are fed organic certified feed. They can not be given antibiotics and hormones. Pedretti said this is based on a list of materials that can and cannot be used. Organic farming also involves managing land for longterm sustainability and environmental considerations for animal standards, stated Pedretti, adding that organic farming involves building the soil and creating long-term fertility. He continued it takes a lot of work and time and involves a new system of farm management. Consumers are willing to pay a premium for organically grown products, Pedretti said. It is not uncommon for an organic dairy producer to receive $24 to $28 per hundred weight for milk. Organically grown corn, beans and

alfalfa all receive a very strong premium. In addition, growth has occurred in organic vegetable farming. “Organic food farmers are meeting the demand. Their return is a higher premium that helps sustain them. That’s what this is about – economic sustainability and environmental sustainability,” said Pedretti. He continued that organic farming isn’t for everybody, but said it is something to consider. The resources for organic farmers have never been better and marketing companies do a lot of work to help farmers transition from conventional to organic production, Pedretti stated. Organic farming has made some inroads especially in the last few years as prices have risen, he said. But organic farming still competes against conventional crop prices. Organic farming is at a bit of a disadvantage because corn and soybeans cannot be raised in a continual rotation. Rotation can take place for only two years before the land has to be planted to alfalfa or a small grain, Pedretti explained. The lower value crops break up pest problems and build the soil. “That does put organic farming in somewhat of a disadvantage and we have seen that be a barrier to some,” said Pedretti. With high prices for conventional farm products it is more difficult to convince farmers to transition to organic production. Pedretti said more interest in organic farming occurs when prices for conventional products are lower, but his advice is to transition into organic farming when the conventional prices are higher. “It is human nature to see the conventional price drop, see a bigger gap between that and organic prices and to get more interest. That’s the wrong time to convert,” he explained. “It is better to convert when conventional prices are higher. The higher conventional prices will help offset the three-year transition period, learning new management systems and absorbing new labor costs.” Pedretti pointed out a misconception exists that one has to convert all their acres to organic production all at once. “You can designate one part of the farm to convert to organic and leave the other part conventional,” he stated. “You can do it on a level that works for you.”

IOWA FARM & RANCH: STATEWIDE EDITION

Linn County retailer first in Iowa to offer E15

New federal biodiesel targets for 2013 applauded by Iowa Soybean Association

History was made September 17 when the first gallon of E15 was sold in Iowa. Drivers owning a 2001 or newer vehicle, SUV or light-duty truck now have access to the new EPA-approved fuel. Linn Co-op Oil Company located in Marion is the state’s first retailer to give customers this renewable fuel option. “The Iowa Renewable Fuels Association (IRFA) salutes Linn Co-op Oil Company for their initiative to be among the first retailers in the country to offer clean, green E15,” said Lucy Norton, IRFA managing director. “Motorists now have another high-octane, low-cost ethanol option that supports local jobs and contributes to the state’s economy.” To introduce E15 to Marion residents, the IRFA, Iowa Corn and the Iowa Power Fund Community Grant Program are sponsoring a media campaign that includes radio and print ads, billboards and direct mail. The campaign will run throughout September. This type of campaign is available to any Iowa retailer who offers E15 for 2001 and newer vehicle owners, noted Norton. Retailers preparing to offer E15 in the future are urged to contact the IRFA for promotional assistance. Iowa is the leader in renewable fuels production. Iowa has 41 ethanol refineries capable of producing nearly 3.7 billion gallons annually. In addition, Iowa has 13 biodiesel facilities with the capacity to produce 320 million gallons annually.

The Iowa Soybean Association applauded an announced increase in new federal biodiesel targets for 2013, saying the move will benefit grain and livestock farmers, environmental quality and a nation working to increase its reliance on domestic energy sources. The comments coincided with the Obama Administration’s approval of an Environmental Protection Agency recommendation to increase the production and use of biodiesel next year from 1 billion gallons to 1.28 billion gallons. The announcement was made by U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack at a news conference in Sioux City on September 14. “This is a great day for Iowa soybean growers and a great day for the biodiesel industry and other supporters of American-made fuel,” said Rolland Schnell, Iowa Soybean Association Secretary. “The announcement signals the continued growth in the biodiesel industry that started two decades ago through support from soybean growers and their soybean checkoff.” Biodiesel is the only feedstock-diverse, EPA-desig-

SEPTEMBER 2012

nated advanced biofuel produced on a commercial scale across the country. Its production reduces America’s dependence on imported petroleum, strengthens domestic energy security, creates jobs and reduces tailpipe pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Schnell, who farms near Newton, said Iowa’s leadership in soy biodiesel and livestock production work well together. “Biodiesel uses only oil from soybean crops and none of the meal,” he stated. “Biodiesel also creates demand for animal fats, increasing the per-head value of livestock. In addition, the protein meal from soy – a staple in animal diets – is less expensive today because of biodiesel demand.” Iowa also stands to gain more jobs and economic growth from the policy. The Iowa Biodiesel Board reports that new biodiesel production will create and support green manufacturing jobs at Iowa’s 13 biodiesel plants instead of sending money overseas for oil.

$14 million available for value-added producer grants The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently announced that October 15, 2012, is the deadline to apply for the Value-Added Producer Grant (VAPG) program. $14 million is available for this round. Again this year, 10 percent of that is reserved specifically for beginning farmers and ranchers and socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers. "Farmers or ranchers who need planning or working capital funds to move their value-added ideas forward should check out the Value-Added Producer Grants program," said Traci Bruckner, assistant director of policy at the Center for Rural Affairs. “In particular, we urge beginning or socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers to consider accessing these grants,” added Bruckner. “The 10 percent of funding reserved for these potential applicants makes applying a very attractive possibility.” Agricultural producers, businesses majority-owned by agricultural producers, and organizations representing agricultural producers are eligible to apply for Value Added Producer Grants for business planning or working capital

expenses associated with marketing value-added agricultural products. Agricultural producers include farmers, ranchers, loggers, agricultural harvesters and fishermen that engage in the production or harvesting of an agricultural commodity. Farmers and ranchers can find a working proposal template for the Value Added Producer Grant Program at the following link: www.rurdev.usda.gov/supportdocuments/BCP_VAPGApplicationTemplate2012.pdf, Additionally, in an effort to assist farmers and ranchers applying for a grant, the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition just released a Farmers’ Guide to Value-Added Producer Grant Funding. The guide (available free at sustainableagriculture.net/publications/) includes clear information on new program rules and contains a step-by-step description of the application and ranking processes, with helpful hints to improve a producer’s chances of obtaining funding from the highly competitive program. It also describes the program priorities for small and medium-sized family farms, beginning farmers and ranchers, socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers, and mid-tier value

chains (regional supply networks with active farmer participation). Applicants are encouraged to contact their state USDA RD offices well in advance of the deadline to discuss their projects and ask any questions about the application process. Bruckner said the Center for Rural Affairs continues to offer as much help to producers as possible during the application period by operating a Farm Bill Helpline where producers can call 402-687-2100 and ask for the Farm Bill Helpline to receive assistance in understanding the Value Added Producer Grants Program. Potential applicants can also contact the Farm Bill Helpline via email by sending an email with "Farm Bill Helpline" in the subject line to tracib@cfra.org. Assistance is also available for the Conservation Stewardship Program, the Environmental Quality Incentives Program Organic Initiative and a host of Beginning Farmer and Rancher provisions. The Center for Rural Affairs has also created Value Added Fact Sheets and other additional information, which can be accessed at www.cfra.org/node/2672. For more information visit: www.cfra.org

IOWA FARM & RANCH: STATEWIDE EDITION

SEPTEMBER 2012

Real farmers, real food the feature attractions in “Talkin’ Farming at the Shed” on September 29 A Midwest landmark known for its down-home cooking served family style is partnering with a purpose-driven ag awareness initiative launched by the Iowa Soybean Association to bring farming to life for people who enjoy great food and friendly conversation. The combination of real farmers and real food is the idea behind “Talkin’ Farming at the Shed,”

sponsored by the Machine Shed Restaurant and Iowa Food & Family Project. It will debut Saturday, September 29, 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Shed’s Urbandale location. Lindsay Greiner, a grain and hog farmer from Keota, will be the featured guest throughout dinner. He’ll meet and greet those who enjoy great food but rarely have an opportunity to visit with the people

who grow it. Contests and activities, including chances to win a four-pack of tickets to the Iowa State-Oklahoma football game or one of two overnight stays at the Comfort Suites at Living History Farms, will take place throughout the evening, and a special entrée featuring soy will be added to the menu. “There’s a true renaissance of interest in food

LivestockMixing Mixing & & Feeding Feeding Equipment Equipment Livestock Commercial Manure Spreaders • Electronic Scales Scales Commercial Manure Spreaders • Electronic Tom Pullen Bill Pullen Sales Representative

and we think that’s great,” said Mike Whalen, who founded the Machine Shed Restaurant in 1978. “We’re all about serving some of the best slowcooked comfort food that would make Mom proud and paying tribute to the American farmer. “Our dedication to the Iowa farmer is our fiveword constitution, and we want others to share our passion for food and farming,” Whalen added. “We can’t think of a better way to do that than for folks to meet some of Iowa’s hardworking and dedicated farmers and to have a celebration.” “Talkin’ Farming at the Shed” will be conducted periodically throughout the year. Each event will

showcase a different farmer and commodity. Greiner, wife Shelley and sons Keaton, Kalen and Kolton grow soybeans and corn and raise hogs in southeast Iowa. He’s a member of the Iowa Soybean Association and participates in the ISA’s Farm & Food Ambassador Team. The 15farmer group seeks opportunities to rub elbows with those who don’t farm to talk about shared areas of interest. “I’m not a writer and I don’t do interviews, but I do like to talk,” stated Greiner. “I love to share what I do and to hear people’s perceptions about today’s farmers. At the end of the day, we’re real people always looking to do

things better in a way that’s good for our land, our neighbors and communities.” The Iowa Food & Family Project (www.facebook. com/ foodnfamilies) is a purpose-driven initiative created by the Iowa Soybean Association and dedicated to inspiring greater awareness, understanding and trust between consumers and farmers through personal engagement and advocacy. It serves as presenting sponsor of the Iowa Games and supporter of Live Healthy Iowa and is backed by more than 30 partners including the Iowa Pork Producers Association, Farm Credit Services of America, Hy-Vee and Iowa Beef Industry Council.
