Field agronomist encourages producers to weigh natural dry-down against stalk condition by Gordon Wolf Issues with stalk rot and corn dry-down are major issues farmers are considering this fall. In a recent email interview, Iowa State University Extension Field Agronomist Clarke McGrath, who is based in Harlan, said, “These issues are tied together and we may have some tough decisions to make.” “Artificial drying can certainly test a grower’s patience. As energy prices (especially LP) climb and/or availability of LP becomes an issue, costs can really add up. All this makes us appreciate any natural drying that Mother Nature can provide.” He said leaving the corn in the field to dry naturally for too long may be problem-
“Most growers will have finished up the soybeans as soon as possible when it dries up so they don’t start to lose them to lodging and shatter.” ~ Clarke McGrath, Iowa State University Extension Field Agronomist
atic in areas for a couple reasons: “The stalk rot issues have only gotten worse. In scouting, field visits and putting in cover crop plots, I have spent a lot of time in corn fields recently with clients in their corn. Stalk rot and resultant standability issues are not hard to find, and seem to have gotten worse as we headed into mid-October.” “If you can scout your corn well and
find areas that have good stalk quality, then some field drying may be in order,” McGrath continued. “For fields with significant stalk rot and risk of lodging, the risk/reward tradeoff of field drying versus pulling it wet and artificial drying is worth a good look.” “Unfortunately, this time of year risk (lodging) escalates and reward (natural field drying) typically decreases. We have
had tough luck getting a lot of growing degree days (GDDs) for speeding along maturity and drying in the last month around 20 percent below average - and as we head into mid-October field drying usually slows even more.” McGrath also explained how growing degree days (GDD) affect the drying of corn in the field. He said it generally takes about 30 GDDs to lower corn moisture each point from 30 percent to 25 percent, and drying corn from 25 to 20 percent requires about 45 GDDs per point of moisture. If “average” conditions return for midOctober, he continued, the moisture could HARVEST, Page 7

Grand Junction family wins pork award by Dan Mundt Bruce and Jenny Wessling, of Grand Junction, have been chosen to be one of two families honored as 2014 Pork Industry Environmental Stewards. The award recognizes producers who take steps to safeguard the environment and also play a leading role in their local communities. The award is presented by the Pork Checkoff and cosponsored by National Hog Farmer magazine. According to Lynn Harrison, chairman of the National Pork Board environmental stewards selection committee, the award highlights producers who use new environmental technologies to help manage their programs. The nominees are rated on their production practices: manure and nutrient management, soil and water conservation programs, air quality management, wildlife habitat management and neighbor and community relations, explained Harrison. “Our farmers spend so much time and they’re so committed to doing things right that this is one way to recognize pork producers for what they do every day,” said Cindy Cunningham, National Pork Board assistant vice president of communications. “When the (environmental stewards award) program was first started there was quite a bit of controversy about hog production and the environment,” said Harrison. “The program was designed to highlight producers that are using good practices to help in their sustainability in the environment and be a showcase to show other producers that there are technologies that work.” The Wesslings are fourth generation farmers. Bruce, Jenny and their daughters, Jolee and Taylor, farm 4600 acres near Grand Junction. They finish 18,000 head of hogs per year in two 2,400-space buildings and two 1,250-space buildings. The Wesslings use a phytase-amended diet for their animals to reduce the phosphorus content in the manure produced by their operation. Wet-dry feeders in all their buildings reduce the amount of wasted water in their manure pits. They clean and disinfect their boots and work clothing
to prevent any health risks to livestock. They have also added 90-foot buffer strips around the creeks on their land to help filter runoff and prevent soil erosion. According to Harrison, use of these practices, as well as testing of manure nutrients and working with a nutrient consultant to make sure they apply the correct amount of manure to their ground, are a few of the reasons the Wesslings won the award. For Bruce and Jenny, taking care of the environment also includes paying attention to the appearance of their property. They have planted four rows of trees of various types around their production buildings. Bruce credits the Coalition to Support Iowa’s Farmers with giving him the idea to plant the trees. “They were kicking off their Green Farmstead Partner Program,” he said. “They aligned us with Trees Forever to help us to design our trees around the buildings to get the right measurements.” The tree arrangement is designed to cut down the snow load on the buildings and improve the air quality around the buildings, without affecting the airflow to the pigs. “The main thing is to help the environment, to make air quality better and make sure that nutrients are being used correctly,” said Bruce. “I also think that publicly it helps visually it to make your building site look better.” Their family has to prove what they are doing is what is best for their animals and their community, according to Jenny Wessling. “Our role is being responsible people, being involved in our community and being leaders,” she said. “We want to show that good things come out of what we do.” Concern for their community was something that stood out for the selection committee, according to Harrison. “Before they even built the barns that they have now, they went out to the community and explained what they were going to do and tried to be good neighbors,” he said. The Wesslings stay involved with their community in
a variety of ways. “Through the local Greene County Pork Producers, we do a lot of grilling and helping with community events,” said Bruce. They support their school district and local 4-H. Bruce and Jenny also supply the mowers for Jolee and Taylor to maintain a tree park on the edge of town. The local community is a big reason for the Wesslings’ success, according to Bruce. “As a farmer, and in pretty much any business, you’ve got to align yourself with good people,” he said. “That’s something we feel that we’ve done as an operation to help us do the right things.” For now, Bruce and Jenny plan to stay the course with their operation. “We’re pretty content where we are,” Bruce said. “We’ll probably just try to maintain our current operation and make it as efficient as we can with what we’re currently doing.” “When I think about my future and our farm here, I think about our daughter who is a senior,” said Jenny. “She’s interested in the ag industry and that’s where I see my future; making it viable for her.” Cunningham said, “They should be proud of what they’ve accomplished.” In March, the Wesslings will travel to the National Pork Industry Forum in San Antonio, Texas, where the award will be presented in front of about 400 pork producers, according to Cunningham. “What it means is that they’re doing things right on their farm and they are being recognized for the things they do on their farm every day,” she added. Jenny said, “I think that farmers getting awards like this might prove to some people that things are being done right.” Bruce added that many others are using the same practices he and his family use. “It was nice to be recognized,” said Bruce. “But I also feel the majority of livestock producers out there are doing the right things.”

When it comes to vertical tillage we were, so to say, a little late to jump on the bandwagon. We waited a few years after the fi rst VT tools were launched before we brought out our own. And our delay was not without good reason.

The entire idea of vertical tillage is to manage residue and prepare soils by lifting soil vertically instead of horizontally. Yet the fi rst generation of tools worked much like gangs of coulters simply A cutting residue loose to blow away and pile up.

The later versions weren’t much better. Tools with wavy blades C could lift soil but not very much. Others used smooth blades B with concavity to roll soil horizontally- exactly the condition vertical tillage is supposed to combat.

Volunteers are a key part of 4-H There’d be no 4-H clover without heads, hearts, hands and health. But the Iowa 4-H program itself would be hard pressed to continue without volunteers. National 4-H Week provided time to reflect on the many volunteers who guide Iowa 4-H’ers in becoming productive citizens, outstanding communicators, effective leaders and successful learners. More than 7,500 adult volunteers contribute their time, energy and expertise to engage Iowa youth in hands-on learning experiences in healthy living; science, technology, engineering and math; citizenship and leadership; and communication and the arts. “4-H needs volunteers who are
excited about sharing their skills and interests with the youth of Iowa,� said Chris Gleason, a 4-H program specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach. County extension offices need volunteers who want to have an impact on the future of Iowa, explained Gleason. “Training volunteers in positive youth development knowledge and skills helps them deliver a quality program to reach our outcomes with youth,� said Gleason. ISU Extension and Outreach 4-H Youth Development programs give youth opportunities to build their skills through short-term and longterm learning experiences. “Volunteers create fun, safe environments where lots of learning happens.
We make sure we are supporting the volunteers by giving them the training and resources they need to be confident and competent in their volunteer roles,� said Gleason. There are numerous ways to volunteer with 4-H. Volunteers lead 4-H clubs and special interest groups, work with after-school groups, guide youth committees, write newsletters in 4-H offices, chaperone, teach and much more. The hard work and commitment of 4-H volunteers gives 4-H the ability to strengthen and grow its programs. “Volunteers are the fundamental bedrock of 4-H,� said Gleason.

Projects and progress Last week, I was able to travel with mom to a quilt show in Kearney, Nebraska. After a long four-hour drive, we found our 20-foot blank canvas booth which we turned into a wonderful display of quilts she had designed, including our block of the month. Over the two days, I learned about the women and men who passed by our booth. Yes, men. Al-
though most of the attendees were women, a fair amount were men. I recognized two types wandering through the quilt show. The first were the men who appeared as though they were actually having a good time. The second walked around with a look on their face that can only be described as, “How the heck did I end up here, and how fast can I escape?”
I also noticed people never asked each other what they had completed but rather inquired, “What are you working on?” Even then, you didn’t get just one answer. The quilter usually responded with an ongoing list of all their halfdone projects, followed by another list of things they were considering. This was a good life lesson. Once you’ve complet-
ed something, put it behind you. Oh, you can take it out and remember the work you put into it. You can roll through the memories of the fun you had finishing it and be happy that it’s done. But then, you go back to the here and now, and work on your current projects. For example, mom had a few patterns that she has done in the past that we enjoyed showing people.
THE
FARMER’S WIFE By Christy Welch
However, we are very close to finishing her latest project, a book of quilts based on friendship stars. We’re almost done, and by the time you read this it should be at the printer.
When it’s finally a book, we’ll be off to the next project in true quilter form. Maybe it’ll be another quilt show, or another book. Whatever it is, I’m sure we’ll have fun.

HARVEST, from Page 1 drop a couple points per week through mid-October. That’s based on receiving five to 10 GDDs per day and a requirement for 45 GDDs to drop a point from 25 percent and lower. “As we look towards averages in late October and into early November, we may drop a point a week, and as we head into midto late November, field drying often slows to a crawl,” McGrath said. “Based on the above, corn that has 25 percent moisture today might be in the mid to upper teens by Halloween time, if we are lucky. It could be wetter or dryer; it depends mostly on the weather. We’re all, no doubt, on board with hoping for a warm, dry run that has us done before Halloween and patiently waiting for fall application of anhydrous ammonia to start.” McGrath cautioned that all the calculations listed are “ballpark” figures. Warm, windy days will pull more moisture from grain than the GDD estimates, and rainy, cloudy days may result in less drying than the accumulated GDDs would indicate. He added that husk and ear characteristics also affect the dry-down of corn. Ears with the following will allow for faster drying: fewer and thinner husk leaves, early husk leaf senescence, ears with tips that protrude beyond the husks, looser husk leaves, early ear drop from an upright position and thinner or more permeable pericarp. McGrath said, however, that in terms of natural drying of corn, a one-size-fits-all answer doesn’t exist. “Most growers will have to finish up the soybeans as soon as possible when it dries up so they don’t start to lose them to lodging and shatter,” he said. “By default, some of the corn will stand out there a while as bean harvest gets back in full swing and hopefully is stays upright and dries significantly.” “Some guys have corn that will stand well and will be able to leave it out there a while after the beans are done; some will have to rush out and harvest it as soon as possible as it starts to succumb to stalk rot and lodging,” he said. McGrath urged farmers to take a good look at each hybrid and each management system (corn on corn versus corn on beans, notill versus tilled, slopes versus bottom farms, and so on) to evaluate what can stand and what is at risk of going down.

Ogden restaurant wins award for “Best Breaded Pork Tenderloin” Brick Street’s Butler Café in Bondurant takes second place The Iowa Pork Producers Association has honored an Iowa pig farmer and restaurant owner with the Iowa’s Best Breaded Pork Tenderloin award for 2014. The Lucky Pig Pub & Grill in Ogden is the winner of the award. It is owned by Craig and Carol Christensen, who also farm and raise hogs near Ogden. The Christensens purchased the restaurant three years ago because it was dying and they believed the town needed a restaurant. “I’m very, very happy
the restaurant on October 15. Brick Street’s Butler Café in Bondurant came in second and will receive $250 and a plaque. Rounding out the top six finalists were TC’s Point After in Dewitt, B&S’s 529 in Carroll, Go Fish Marina Bar & Grill in Princeton, and Menlo Café in Menlo. The four restaurants will receive an honorable mention plaque to display in their restaurant. “Making the top six was no easy task,” says Kelsey Sutter with the Iowa Pork Producers Association. “This has been the most competitive competition we’ve seen; nearly 1,900 nominations came in last spring.” The best breaded pork tenderloin contest brings
pounded in-house and double coated in a batter and bread crumb mixture. It provides an ideal meatto-bun ratio and features a unique spice for a one-ofa-kind flavor profile. “Those of us who make up the final panel of judges didn’t know that the owner of the Lucky Pig Pub & Grill also raises pigs on a family farm in Ogden,” said Chef Phil Carey, final judge. “But it’s really no surprise that someone who raises the product also knows how to properly prepare it!” The Christensens will receive $500, a plaque and statewide publicity for winning IPPA’s 12th annual contest. IPPA’s Restaurant and Foodservice Committee made the official award presentation at
because our restaurant crew works really hard to make a great product, and it’s an excellent feeling to have all that hard work pay some dividends and know that people like what we’re doing,” said Craig Christensen. “Obviously, being a pork producer, I’ve traveled the state, the country and the world eating pork dishes, so my bar was set pretty high, and I challenged our crew to develop something that was top-notch.” The Lucky Pig’s tenderloin sandwich is hand-

a lot of attention to a Midwest favorite, but this year broke records. Ninety-eight tenderloin sandwiches were judged this summer compared to 42 in last year’s contest. The tenderloins were judged on the quality of the pork, taste, physical characteristics and eating experience. The contest recognizes Iowa dining establishments that support the swine industry by putting pork on their menu. All restaurants, cafes and taverns that serve breaded pork tenderloin sandwiches year round and list them on their daily menu can be nominated for the award. Nominations will be open for 2015 in May at www.iowapork.org.

Pork producers, consumers, face atypical market Effects of PEDV felt
by Gordon Wolf The ebb and flow of Iowa’s hog supply and market is, to say the least, complex and affected by a variety of factors. Hog and pig inventory in Iowa during the most recent quarters saw a rapid turn around. On September 1, 20.7 million hogs and pigs were on Iowa farms. The figure marked the third highest inventory on record, according to a USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Hog and Pigs report released on September 26. The September 26 NASS report represented a quick rebound from the report for the previous quarter. A NASS report said
Iowa’s 19.2 million hogs and pigs as of June 1 was the state’s lowest hog inventory since March 2011 and represented a three percent decrease from March 2014 and a four percent decrease from June 2013. The bottom line for producers and consumers is that this year is not typical. Dave Stender, Iowa State University Extension swine specialist for northwest Iowa counties, said the market cycle this year is behaving in a counter-cyclical fashion. One reason is a hole in the hog supply caused by the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), a disease that affects only pigs and does not pose a risk to other animals or humans and, in addition, poses no risk to food safety. The pork remains completely safe to eat. Stender said more than eight million pigs in the United States succumbed to PEDV last winter and spring. He added the effect of the disease can

be seen in a lack of weight increase trend this fall as weights have been relatively constant at a time when weights usually increase. The hole in the hog supply was further expanded by a normal decrease caused by the usual breeding problems that occur in the summer. “Normally, there is always a lack of summer pigs because the previous summer was hot, and sows are seasonal breeders,” Stender explained. He said because of this, hog prices are always higher in the summer than in the fall. “It’s just something that happens, but if you’re looking for bargains at the store, you can still find a few pork loins on sale, although maybe not as much as in other years,” Stender said. Stender said the hog and pig numbers rebounded for the June through August quarter and added that Iowa is going to

have rather of a sporadic supply of pork. He explained the number of PEDV cases significantly decreased in June but pointed out the market won’t see the effect caused by the number pigs that succumbed to the disease until six months later. Since PEDV is a cold-weather disease, the number of cases dropped in the warm months, production increased and the winter months will see more pork supply, Stender said. Anticipations are that pork production will also increase. “It takes a couple years to build sow units from scratch, but a lot of sow units were idle due to the high corn prices and the drought,” Stender said. “These are going back into production, so the sow numbers are up, breeding herds are up and farrowing intentions are up. This should fill in some of the pork supply.” This year is different than other years, however. Stender said normally, in the

fall, the supply of pork is greater than demand and the price usually drops. “This year we’ll see the normal increase in the farrowing units that did not get infected with PEDV, but we still have a hole from the units that did get infected,” he said. “The numbers are going to start improving in the fall.” Stender said a unique occurrence this year was that hog prices plummeted in the third week of August, but prices have nearly recovered. “It is almost a counter-season rally because of the remnants of the disease from last spring,” he said. A change in market weights is also adding a wrinkle to the supply picture for pork producers and consumers. Compared to two years ago, pigs have been much bigger this summer, about five percent bigger, Stender said. Offsetting the heavier weight is that market hog numbers were down about seven to eight percent during the summer. “This fall is interesting. Usually, through this time of the year, the weight of the pigs normally jumps four or five pounds because of the new corn and cooler weather, but this year the trend is sideways,” said Stender. “So what we’re retaining in numbers, we’re losing in weight.” He said part of the reason for the weight loss is more hogs per unit; it is easier to increase the weight of hogs with fewer per unit. “Now we have a whole bunch of pigs and the weight dropped,” Stender said.
“What this has caused is a counter-seasonal weight drop and a counter-seasonal market increase.” Another factor in the demand picture: exports dropped in August. Stender said the countries that import meat hoped for lower hog prices in the fall. “Lots of interesting dynamics are taking place,” he said. Stender said a big unknown in the market is how many farrowing sows will succumb to the PEDV virus this winter. “Last year more than eight million sows died, and PEDV is a virus that dies in the heat and lives a long, long time in cold weather, and it spreads everywhere when it’s cold,” he explained. One solution to counteract PEDV during the winter is to heat the transport trucks in order to kill the virus. This can reduce the risk of individuals spreading the disease by walking from the transport truck into farrowing houses. However, to kill PEDV, the transport trucks would have to be heated to 160 degrees for 10 minutes. “That’s hard to do in winter in Iowa,” said Stender. He added it is an expensive measure. Stender continued that even at truck washes with the ability to heat transport trailers to 160 degrees for 10 minutes, drivers have to be careful not to bring the virus into the cab with them. “What happens is all that virus gets washed onto the floor, and the driver has to make sure to not walk on the floor and

get the virus into the cab,” Stender said. He said that some truck washes are adding truck heaters to their operations, working to knock PEDV out of the transport trucks, but not enough heaters exist for the number of transport trucks. “The question for the market is if this winter half the sows that were infected last year will be infected again,” said Stender. “The answer is: probably not. But we could theoretically lose two or three million sows again this winter and face these market conditions all over again.” Stender said the PEDV vaccine is a great booster for the sows that have been infected and therefore have some immunity from the virus. However, sows not infected last year are potentially susceptible to the virus this year. He said PEDV is a difficult virus to fight against and pointed out that China has dealt with PEDV for five years, and every year the virus outbreak reoccurs. Summing up, Stender said the market cycle this year is the opposite from other years. “The bottom line is the pork industry was affected by a seasonal disease that put a tremendous hole in the inventory, and at the same time livestock producers were affected by four years of drought,” said Stender. He explained the drought affected the beef cow herd; those numbers are at a record low, similar to numbers that existed in the 1960s, and it might take until 2016

to get more beef onto the market. “The poultry industry usually responds in spades to lower beef and hog numbers, but their stock was old, and they sold stock to Mexico because of a disease problem in that country,” Stender explained. “All three meat groups have seen a decline in production.” He said for the consumer, long-term, once a new price level is reached, it usually doesn’t drop much. For the pork producer, a big concern now is that packing plants operate near capacity in the fall. “If the hog numbers expand, the potential exists for a backlog in supply,” said Stender. “Producers remember 1998.” According to the USDA, in December 1998, an oversupply of market-ready hogs collided with a limited slaughter capacity. Pork prices collapsed to their lowest level in 50 years. “There’s a little concern about that happening again, but even if producers build sow barns now, it won’t result in pigs until 15 months later,” Stender explained. But Stender added, “This kind of corn price and the market price for hogs signals expansion like no other time. We could come up with a cure for PEDV in the meantime and build a mountain of pork. That’s not likely, but it is possible. Then again, no one was thinking of $2 corn last year, and the American farmer has an amazing ability to expand upon market signals.”

Results of a consumer tracking study released by the Pork Checkoff found that more American consumers are reporting a newfound love for pork. Key research findings show more U.S. consumers rate their enjoyment of pork higher than in previous studies. Also, consumer buying habits measured by the U.S. Department of Agriculture also show more consumers are buying pork. “People are becoming more passionate about their consumption of pork,” said Iowa Pork Producers Association President-elect David Struthers, a hog farmer from Collins. “These studies confirm that consumers are eating more pork in recipes and as a menu item because of its value, flavor and versatility.” Consumers who took part in the Pork Checkoff study were asked to rate pork cuts on a 10-point scale, resulting in a demonstrated increase in the volume of consumers who rank pork as an eight or higher. The tracking study indicates the size of the Pork Checkoff’s consumer target market has grown to 43 percent of U.S. households, up seven points from 36 percent in May 2013. In 2010, the consumer target was just 27 percent of U.S. households. Growth in the target size is attributed to people rating pork cuts higher, as well as their confidence in cooking meat. The study also found that a majority of all fresh pork eaten - 84 percent at home and 80 percent away from home - is eaten by consumers in the Pork Checkoff’s target market. The total percent of pork eaten by the consumers grew significantly since the Pork Be Inspired® campaign was introduced in 2011. “The industry is beginning to see the impact of new marketing campaigns. We’re making a distinct difference in the marketplace and in how American consumers view and buy pork,” Struthers said. The consumer tracking study also asked pork eaters, “Other than price, what most influences your meat-purchasing decisions?” The top three drivers of meat purchases are quality (63 percent), followed by appearance (50 percent) and convenience (32 percent). The nationally-fielded tracking study is conducted by the Pork Checkoff twice each calendar year. Most recently in November 2013. Respondents are representative of the U.S. population for gender, age, ethnicity and income.

Iowa leader in pork exports With assets of corn, soybeans, farmers and packing capacity, Iowa is the ideal location for pork production. The “Tall Corn” state also needs plenty of fertilizer to produce the bushels of corn and soybeans fed to pigs. Approximately 10 finishing pigs from weaning to market provide the nutrient needs of an acre of Iowa cropland on a semiannual basis. Nutrients from one 2,400-head pig barn benefits a half-section of land (240 acres). One hog consumes approximately nine to 10 bushels of corn from birth to a market weight of 275 pounds. Iowa Pork Industry Facts: • At the end of 2012, Iowa had 6,266 hog operations
• A total of 40,290 Iowans are employed in day-to-day production of hogs • Of the Iowa hog farms, 39 percent (2,451 farms) have 1,000 pigs or less • At any one time, there are approximately 20 million pigs being raised in Iowa • Iowa producers marketed more than 49 million hogs in 2012 • Nearly one-third of the nation’s hogs are raised in Iowa • Iowa is the number one pork producing state in the U.S. and the top state for pork exports Iowa Pork Production Economic Contributions:
• Hog farming alone represents $7.5 billion in total economic activity for Iowa • Total cash receipts for hog production in Iowa topped $7.5 billion in 2013 • Total production value for Iowa hog farming exceeded $6.5 billion in 2013 • Several billion dollars are generated in the state each year from pork processing activities Statistics based on 2012 U.S. Census of Agriculture and analysis by Spencer Parkinson of Decision Innovation and Iowa State University

Kickstarting leadership Future pork industry leader already taking charge
by Dan Mundt Some college students might coast during the summer before their senior year. Not Amanda Outhouse. Even though she was not required to do an internship, she spent this past summer working as an intern for the Iowa Pork Producers Association (IPPA). This was her third summer internship. Outhouse said working with IPPA gave her a broad-spectrum view of the swine industry in Iowa. Communicating directly with pork producers across the state, making networking connections and meeting people from other commodity groups helped her see the big picture of the swine industry. The internship helped her better understand the resources and opportunities available to pork producers. “Right now, I’m looking for a career in the swine industry. I love every aspect of the industry,” she said. “Through all my different internships and other work experiences, I just know that’s the industry for me.” Based on reviews from one of her internship supervisors, the feeling is likely mutual. “We didn’t want to let her go at the end of the summer,” said Joyce Hoppes, IPPA

promotion director. “Her work ethic was unbelievable and she was dedicated and very knowledgeable of the pork industry.” Outhouse is studying animal science at Iowa State University. She grew up north of Defiance on her family’s farm. “The primary reason I was interested in animal science was because of 4-H and FFA and my parents giving me the opportunity to raise pigs as a 4-H project,” she said. “Showing them at the county fair really helped me understand livestock and got me interested in knowing more about the swine industry.” Outhouse was a student in the IKMManning School District. She credits her small-town roots with helping her develop management skills. “Going through a smaller school district helps you have more opportunities for leadership positions and involvement while you’re in middle school and high school,” she said. In addition to 4-H and FFA, she was involved in sports, student council, band and National Honor Society. “I think knowing that I could handle all of those things there helped me get involved on campus at Iowa State,” she said. Her management skills came in handy during her time with IPPA. A glance at her internship final report shows a wide range of duties and responsibilities. A sample of the many activities on the list shows that Outhouse: • filled 450 feed bags for Little Hands on the Farm

• created and organized the summer schedule for Iowa State Fair Royalty • ran the IPPA booth at the Ag Educators Trade Show • served breakfast at the Lifeblood blood drive • set up tables and displays for the Iowa Games But this kind of work was far from all she was given to do by the IPPA. The Plymouth County Pork Producers asked the IPPA to present a cooking show at the Plymouth County Fair. “I pretty much handed this one off to her,” said Hoppes. “The show is a longstanding tradition during their county fair and it pulls in hundreds of people,” she added. Outhouse wrote the script for the hourlong show, coordinated the participants and organized all the recipes, ingredients and cooking supplies. “Amanda planned it from start to finish and she did an excellent job,” Hoppes said. Outhouse also helped implement the IPPA presence at the Iowa State Fair. She helped coordinate displays and activities and also recruited pork producers to help. “She spent a lot of time talking to producers and lining up volunteers to help with those activities,” said Hoppes. “She basically lived there during the fair.” Outhouse was also given the task of teaching about how farmers raise pigs to a group of 3 and 4-year-old children at the Apple Tree Children’s Center in Des Moines. “They thought that would be a good project for me to take hold of.

storybooks for all the kids and I had them wear little pig ears,” Outhouse said. “I read them stories and showed them a little miniature model of a barn. It was a cool opportunity.” Outhouse is still trying to figure out exactly what she will do after graduation. “I would love to continue educating consumers about pork production,” she said. “A dream job would be to be a professor at a university, teaching about pork production in general, either meat science or swine science,” she added. “She’ll be an ideal employee for anyone,” said Hoppes. “She’ll be very successful wherever she goes.”

Pork Checkoff celebrates Hispanic traditions with Chef Garcia The flavor and versatility of pork makes it a favorite staple among Hispanic homes. To celebrate the love Latinos have for pork, the Pork Checkoff launched a Hispanic marketing campaign that includes a partnership with celebrity chef Lorena Garcia. Garcia, one of the country’s most popular Latina chefs, has a passion for creating juicy and delicious recipes in the kitchen. She also enjoys creating pork-inspired recipes with a unique Latin touch. “I am thrilled to share my culture and love of pork through these new recipes
that families may enjoy in everyday meals,” said Garcia, who is well known for numerous TV series such as Top Chef Masters. “I believe in keeping it simple but interesting.” Through the new collaboration, the Pork Checkoff is launching Sabrosos Momentos Con Chef Lorena Garcia (FlavorFilled Moments with Chef Lorena Garcia). The first of the two-part multimedia series will feature three delicious porkinspired video recipes and educational videos that showcase three popular pork cuts: tenderloin, ribs and shoulder. The
recipes will be Pulled Pork Scramble, Pork Tenderloin Sautéed and Pork-Back Ribs with Mango and Chile de Arbol. “The main inspiration for my cooking is to bring loved ones together to enjoy wonderful food,” Garcia said. “It is something that has always fulfilled me.” The Pork Checkoff also launched PorkTeInspira.com, a new Spanish-language website with corresponding social media channels on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. PorkTeInspira.com, a resource of information and culinary experiences with
pork, will engage consumers with recipes, nutritional content, choice pork cuts, health and pork safety content and cooking tips. “We are delighted to engage the Latino community in the United States with Chef Garcia and PorkTeInspira.com,” said Jose de Jesus, director of multicultural marketing for the Pork Checkoff.” “Pork has been part of our Latin culture for generations, and we want these new recipes by Chef Garcia to inspire creativity and offer new and healthy ideas to prepare our favorite pork dishes.”

The loader’s unique design turns tight but articulates less, for extra agility and higher tipping-load capacities. And because it’s designed with significant customer input, the 244J is loaded with enhancements. Like virtually unrestricted visibility and a comfortable, spacious cab to help you beat fatigue. And keep working until the cows come home. Contact us today.
