Harvest behind but solid yields ahead
Forecasted yields better than expected despite bad weather by greg Forbes A rocky planting and growing season included an early October storm that saw some fields in western Iowa flattened by tornadoes and strong winds. Farmers have begun to put the raucous weather behind them and salvage what’s left of crops but for the most part, harvest may yield a pleasant surprise. “I would say that the corn, even though it is wetter and being harvested later than usual, yields seem to be slightly larger than expected,” said Steven Johnson, farm management specialist with Iowa State University Extension. “The eastern Corn Belt is where we have record yields in states like Indiana and Ohio. That’s why we have a “4” in front of the price and not a “7” like last year.” He commented that the last USDA report issued in September forecasted a lower yield than that
estimated in August’s report. Although the USDA has not issued an October report due to the partial shutdown of the federal government, Johnson said private reports and local farmers have given reason to believe statewide yields will average 162 bushels of corn per acre and 43 bushels of soybeans per acre. Although the projected yields fall below the 30year trend line for both corn and soybeans, Johnson said the forecast is a welcome sight after last year’s average yield to date stumbled to just 137 bushels per acre. Johnson credited the improvement to the weather, especially to corn planted later than desired. “This was probably the latest planted crop since, I believe 1993,” he said. “The corn likely pollinated late and was susceptible to an early frost but thankfully the weather went hot and dry. That helped with maturity.” The wet field conditions during the planting season led to extreme variability in corn acres planted in April compared to May. Johnson said the corn planted in April will yield more favorably compared to the late planted seeds. Fortunately for the delayed plants, the annual “killing frost” is also late on arrival. “Iowa planted the corn crop exceptionally late and there was a lot of concern that an early frost could damage the crop,” he said. “Well, we haven’t had a killing frost yet. We will probably have a later than normal killing frost, which bodes well for production.” HARVEST, Page 4A
The shutdown’s impact on crop farmers The federal government shut down on the first of October due to an expiration of funding. One entity that had to temporarily discontinue services was the USDA. Dr. Chad Hart, associate professor of economics and a crop markets specialist with Iowa State University, said the shutdown poses an inconvenience to farmers as monthly crop reports are not available but does not directly affect production. “That information is missing, which is a good size toll,” Hart said. “It doesn’t impact production yet but the idea that it’s information they’ve (farmers) always had but don’t have now.” The CRP program is also not issuing checks during this time and the Farm Service Agencies and National Resource Conservation Services are unavailable at this time as well. Heavy storms in early October have also exposed an area in which the shutdown may impact farmers. Storm damage requires that farmers who are covered from damages file a claim with their insurance agents. SHUTDOWN, Page 4A

OCTOBER 2013
Harvest slightly delayed in western Iowa HARVEST, from Page 1A “Typically, we would’ve had that freeze a week and a half ago,” said Dr. Chad Hart, associate professor of economics and a crop markets specialist with Iowa State University. “We had a warmer fall and that has helped crops continue to mature and reach higher yields than they would’ve with a normal freeze time.” The late frost trends well with the late planting season, as harvest has also been delayed due to the weather carousel of 2013. Johnson estimated that just 65 percent of soybeans and 30 percent of corn has been harvested to date compared to 95 percent of soybeans and 85 percent of corn harvested
at this time last year. He continued that farmers are still waiting for corn to dry, as most plants have 22 to 24 percent moisture. The desirable amount is normally 18 percent. “Corn is drying in the field very slowly. The forecast is now cool and dry, which will help harvest but you’ll se a lot of farmers reluctant to harvest now because of the high cost of drying,” he said. “We’ll see a lot of corn still standing in November.” Johnson said he expects most soybeans to be out of the fields by the last week of October and the majority of corn harvested two weeks into November. “We’re two weeks behind right now,” he said. “Usually, we’re done with soybeans by
now and corn is done by the end of October.” When the corn and soybeans are completely pulled from the field, Johnson said estimates have shown final harvest yields of 13.5 million bushels of corn and 9.4 million bushels of soybeans. Both numbers fall behind other states in the Midwest. “Iowa will likely be the second largest soybean harvest but will fall to Illinois,” he said. “We planted 80,000 more acres but they will out produce us by 20 to 25 million bushels.” Johnson said in the time of the shutdown without USDA reports, farmers can track estimated numbers as well as other news at Iowa State University’s integrated crop management web page at www.estension. iastate.edu/CropNews/
Cover Photo: In a field in western Iowa, the corn harvest is underway. The long, curvy corn rows run downhill to a colorful farm.
SHUTDOWN, from Page 1A Hart said eventually, government officials have a hand in the crop insurance program which could slow payments if the shutdown continues. “The crop insurance program will continue to run up to a point but eventually, they will need a government official,” he said. He added that in the meantime, farmers should continue normal storm damage practices such as speaking with the insurance agent and preserve information. Most instances require a check strip where a part of the field is left un-harvested so an agent and the necessary officials can determine if a loss did indeed occur.

Farmers impacted by severe weather reminded to contact crop insurance agent The Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Department and the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship reminded farmers impacted by recent severe weather to contact their crop insurance agent to file a claim before harvesting or destroying any impacted crops. In addition to filing a claim, taking photos of damaged crops and buildings can help farmers document the damage.
It is import that farmers do not harvest, destroy or physically alter the damaged acres until crop insurance has adjusted the claim. When USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) offices reopen following the federal shutdown, farmers should follow the usual damage-reporting process and contact their local FSA office for any disaster loans or debris removal assistance that may be available.

Crop damage assessment delayed by shutdown The partial federal government shutdown is preventing farmers in northwest Iowa from getting needed assessments of crop damage from last week’s tornadoes. As many as nine storms crisscrossed the region Oct. 4, flattening thousands of acres of corn and soybeans in Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota. Workers in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency have
been idled by the partial federal government shutdown. A damage assessment by the FSA is one of the first steps for farmers who sustained losses to qualify for low-interest emergency loans or debris-removal assistance. Iowa state officials say farmers should contact their local FCA offices and follow the usual damage-reporting process once the government re-opens.

Turning the pages of agriculture Iowa farmer recalls changes through a lifetime of farming
Elven Steenbock, age 92, has had a hand in his family farm operation in Persia since he was just nine years old.
Photo submitted
by Greg Forbes Much the same this year as decades past, Elven Steenbock planted corn and soybeans on an acreage near Persia his family has possessed since the 1930s. As the combine once again rolls out amongst the fields of gold set against the gloomy October skies, Steenbock, 92, watches the final year of his career managing the family farmstead come to an end and reflects on a lifetime dedicated to agriculture. “I have a crop of corn that looks like it will be one of my best,” he said. The large combine, guided through his hundreds of

acres of no-till land planted with hybrid seeds is a stunning contrast to the practices he knew as a child helping his father manage the same operation more than 80 years ago. “As a kid, everything was done with horses,” he recalled. “There were hardly any tractors.” A team of six horses pulled moldboard plows, another team of four to six pulled harrows while four to six horses pulled disks. “It was all very crude machinery,” said Steenbock. Crude is also an accurate word for the open-pollinated seed corn his father used, compared to modern hybrid species. Following the growing season, Steenbock’s father would collect the best ears of corn available and hang them in the attic to dry. When the time came, Steenbock and his family would pick the uniform kernels off the cob to be planted the next season. In 1947, Steenbock, along with his wife, took over the full-time operation of the farm as his
mother and father moved to Persia. At that point, the evolution of farming started to emerge. “The first planting I did was done with a team of horses and a John Deere 999 corn planter,” he said. Corn was planted in square fields, spaced out in rows by a check row planter. As the wire hit a button, a seed was dropped, then corn was cultivated in three directions. Eventually, efficiency improved as Steenbock utilized a four row planter pulled by a tractor and purchased a four-row cultivator. And soon, hybrid seeds hit the agriculture scene. “They started coming in with certain hybrids and then we didn’t have to pick corn for seed the next year. We could just buy seeds,” he said. “That became an improvement over openpollinated corn.” The advancements allowed Steenbock to divide more of his attention to his livestock, which mainly featured swine and cattle. As the pages of the calendar turned, he continued to adapt and adopt new
practices as they came and went. In 1955, Steenbock and his neighbor purchased a small combine to pull with a tractor. “That machine was small compared to those nowadays,” he commented. Changes in machinery kept coming from small adjustments to major breakthroughs and Steenbock accepted most changes as they arrived. “From there on, things really began to develop because people started putting lights on tractors and some would farm day and night,” he said. “Selfpropelled combines began to come in and eventually, the combines had corn heads to gather corn to go through the combine and have shell corn to go into the bin.” Although technological advances provided new challenges, Steenbock remained undeterred and was determined to learn the practices and improve on the industry that had been the bedrock of Iowa for decades. “In a way, they (advancements) did (surprise

me),” he said. “But so did when they landed on the moon. Whoever would’ve thought we would do that? “Things began to develop pretty fast,” he continued. “I was always able to see the change and make the change.” All during his years managing his childhood farm, he and his wife lived in the same house in

which he grew up. Steenbock recalled that life in the house, too, was also primitive compared to today’s standards. Because the property was without wired electricity, Steenbock’s father purchased an 80 foot tall wind-generated charger that would charge 16, two-volt batteries. “That’s what we had for
electricity,” he said. “And when the wind didn’t blow, you had to really ration your electricity so the batteries wouldn’t run dry.” Eventually, innovations reached the Steenbock house and the family soon had constant, reliable electricity. Much like they bring technological advancements, the years also bring unreliable weather. “There were always some good years and always some bad. There is no such thing as everything being constant,” he said. “Some years, the weather was so dry, you didn’t get much crop and those were some hard years to get through.” As hybrids and technology improved, crops became more resistant to undesirable weather. Steenbock said last year’s crop, raised amid a severe drought, was among the best he had seen and this year, the last before he turns over his acres to a renter, looks to be even better. “That’s a nice way to bow out,” he said.

Advances in soil-testing research led Iowa State University Extension and Outreach agronomists to revise recommendations for phosphorus, potassium and lime. “Field research is conducted continuously to assure that nutrient management suggestions are up to date,” said Antonio Mallarino, an extension agronomist and professor of agronomy. “This research has indicated some recommendations should not be changed, but other recommendations needed significant change to optimize nutrient management in order to improve the profitability and sustainability of crop production.” He and John Sawyer, agronomy professor and extension agronomist, have updated the extension publication “A General Guide for Crop Nutrient and Limestone Recommendations in Iowa” (PM 1688). It is available to download at no charge from the Extension Online Store https://store.extension.iastate.edu/. Mallarino said the most significant changes are: w Include interpretations for the new moist- and slurry-based test for potassium (K) w Changes to soil-test interpretations categories for K using dried soil samples w Adjustments to both crop nutrient concentrations and default crop yields needed to estimate nutrient removal for maintaining soil-test levels in the optimum category
w Discontinued using the P and K subsoil categories for interpretations He indicated recent research showed the moist- and slurry-test for K is more reliable at assessing K fertilization needs of crops than the commonly used test based on dried soil samples, even with the improved interpretations for the dry test. The agronomists maintained many of the current recommendations farmers use to determine soil fertility, including: w The general concept of phosphorus (P) and K recommendations are for long-term profitability and reduced risk of yield loss, by emphasizing crop response-based applications for the very low and low soil test classes, and removal-based maintenance based on estimated crop removal with harvest for the optimum soil test class. w Interpretation categories for current tests, such as Bray-P1, the colorimetric version of the Mehlich-3 test, and the ICP (inductively-coupled plasma). w Amounts of P and K recommended for grain production in the very low and low soil test interpretation categories. w The soil pH considered sufficient for crops. w Interpretations for micronutrients, which currently include only recommendations for zinc (Zn) in corn or sorghum. Ongoing research studying several micronutrients for corn and soybean has not been completed.

After the storm
Farmers in Woodbury County consider harvesting options after tornado flattens crops by Gordon Wolf After enduring drought conditions in the 2012 growing season, a wet spring this year that delayed planting in some instances and more drought conditions this summer, the weather dealt some Woodbury County farmers yet another blow on October 4 when a tornado flattened corn and bean plants; destroyed livestock buildings; killed hogs, cattle and at least one horse; and damaged houses and other buildings. The EF4 tornado traveled 25 miles long from just southwest of Climbing Hill in Woodbury County to just west of Washta in southwestern Cherokee County and cut mile-anda-half swath at its maximum width, according to State Climatologist Harry Hillaker with the Iowa Department of Agriculture. He said that tornado was one of nine that touched down in Iowa on October 4. Six were identified and three were just reported but probably not investigated.
Joel DeJong, Iowa State University Extension field agronomist in northwest Iowa, said the farmers whose crops were hit by the tornado are going to try to salvage all the grain they can. “Number one is to clean all the debris out of the fields, and then some farmers are going to try to combine,” he said. DeJong added that a few of the farmers impacted by the tornado said they will try to negotiate with an individual from Nebraska who uses a power rake and then runs through the field with a combine outfitted with a pick-up head. Crops in some other fields are probably lost, he continued. “Not only were the corn stalks broken over, the ears have been knocked free,” DeJong said. “If a large enough percentage of ears are on the grounds, farmers will try to experiment with the pick-up head. But first they will have to talk to their crop insurance agents to see what they can do.”
“If a large enough percentage of ears are on the grounds, farmers will try to experiment with the pick-up head. But first they will have to talk to their crop insurance agents to see what they can do.” ~ Joel DeJong, Iowa State University Extension field agronomist
DeJong explained that the idea for using the power rake and the combine with a pick-up head came from Brown County, Nebraska, where 70 mileper-hour winds blew for two days and flattened crops last year. DeJong said some of the soybean plants hung onto their bean pods better than he thought they would. Some pods were knocked free. “The first problem is you
have to clean the fields of debris so it will be tough to get in to do that,” he said. DeJong is concerned that bean pods are bruised and in those cases that the soybeans will stay in the pods. Communities have been responding to the needs of farmers who have debris in their unharvested acres. Students from several school districts, including Hinton, Woodbury Central, Kingsley-Pierson,
Lawton Bronson and others, have picked up debris. But getting to the debris in the fields is difficult right now. The storm system on October 4 dropped a couple inches of rain on the area and the area received another two inches earlier this week (the week of October 13-19). That makes it difficult to get into the fields to pick up debris, especially if larger equipment is needed to assist in the clean up, DeJong said, adding that a drying front is needed. “The hitch is this is at the time of the year when farmers need to harvest their crops but they have the additional problem of cleaning up, too,” he said. Farmers in northwest Iowa outside of the areas hit by the October 4 storm systems and those who received timely rains on their crops are seeing good yields. DeJong said about 90 percent of the bean harvest is done in the northwest Iowa counties he covers and some yields he’s heard of are 60 bushes per acre or more, some fields
yielding in the 70s. “Farmers received good August rains in a lot of the counties I serve, but not everybody got that rain,” he said. He’s also heard soybean yields in the 50s. Farther east in region he serves was dryer during the growing season and the yields are correspondingly less. DeJong has heard of good corn yields in his area, ranging from 175 to 230s. Again some fields received good rainfalls in August, to help boost the yields. Concerning the other tornadoes on October 4, Hillaker said one traveled 25 miles from the eastern part of Nebraska, went just west of Sloan and ended east of the Sioux City airport. However, the EF2 tornado was much smaller than the EF4 in western Woodbury County as it was only 250 yards wide at its maximum width. Another tornado traveled much the same path, traveling just over one mile near Sloan and was 100 yards wide at the

Farm damage was apparent on Woodbury County road L25 just north of the intersection with Highway 20. A tornado that hit the area on Friday, October 4, destroyed livestock buildings, damaged houses and other structures, damaged or destroyed trees and flattened crops. Before farmers can attempt to salvage any corn or soybeans, they must first remove the storm debris from the fields so their harvesting equipment is not damaged.
maximum width. It was rated as an EF1. A fourth tornado started two miles north of Jackson, Nebraska, and ended three miles southeast of Jefferson, South Dakota, which Hillaker said would put it just in Iowa. Yet another tornado traveled for five and a half miles in Buena Vista County and was 300 yards wide at its maximum width. This tornado, which touched down at 8:32 p.m., about two hours later than the earlier tornadoes, damaged the high school building in Alta. Hillaker said the October 4 tornadoes were the first late-season tornadoes since three tornadoes touched down within three minutes of each other on November 12, 2005. One of those tornadoes caused the evacuation of fans and players at Jack Trice Stadium at Iowa State University in Ames. The state climatologist said tornadoes that touch down later than the June and July severe weather season tend to occur more in the southeastern part of Iowa. He said Iowa experiences out-of-season tornadoes about once in every three years. The biggest out-of-season tornado that occurred was an EF5 at Belmond in north central Iowa on October 14, 1966.

Pork goes global Record exports recorded in 2012 as pork sees an increase in popularity on U.S. soils as well by Greg Forbes In the face of two historic, consecutive summer droughts and despite a late winter this year, the pork industry has managed to thrive. Dr. Matt Swantek, swine field specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, explained that the biggest impact of inclement weather, specifically the droughts, was the reduction in home-grown grains. But Swantek added, “Others (producers) may not have experienced any reductions in corn and soybeans. It was a more regional situation.” Southeast Iowa experienced nearly no decline in yields but areas in western Iowa, according to Swantek, may have shut down operation late in 2012 to avoid purchasing high priced corn. Despite the possible decrease in grain availability, a report issued by the Pork Checkoff stated that pork exports set records in value and volume in 2012. Last year, United States producers exported more than 2.2 million metric tons of pork for a total of $6.3 billion dollars. Back home, the increase in popularity of bacon and other pork products in every day consumption has allowed the demand in the market to rise. Swantek said normally, during the summer months, consumers purchase more pork for the grilling season but demand tapers off as fall approaches. However, the strength of the current market has not reflected the arrival of fall. “With the current markets, there tends to be less of a decline in the non-summer months than we have historically seen when one compares futures prices,” Swantek said. As of now, however, inventory and future estimates are not available as they are typically reported by the USDA. Swantek said that with the local and international demand of pork, he expects the sales and inventory to continue to increase. “I believe pork is the number one meat consumed in the world now,” he said. “I see nothing but positives for pork production and the pork usage by consumers.” Ensuring the pork industry maintains its upward trajectory requires not only demand by consumers but care by the producers. “Safety is the number one concern for both caretakers and animals each and every day,” Swantek said. At the 2013 World Pork Expo in Des Moines, the National Pork Board unveiled updated safety guidelines in its Pork Quality Assurance Plus (PQA Plus) program. According to a release issued by the National Pork Board in regards to the PQA Plus changes, adjustments now require participating farmers to devise a corrective action plan should they be found to be in violation of a regulation. Producers must also take a test to ensure they are following the 10 Good Production Practices. Confinement fires earlier this year and last winter created some concerns throughout Iowa and posed a large safety issue to pork producers.

Swantek said he has not heard of many recent confinement fires and believed the silence in reports could be credited to increased efforts to maximize ventilation and also to install start-up protocols and shut-down procedures when confinements are vacant. “The basics (of a shutdown) being shutdown of electricity and heating fuels with proper ventilation to try and eliminate any pit gas build up and potential igniters of those gases,” he said. “Again, safety first.” Producers have also jump-started additional efforts to combat the Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea (PED) virus. PED is transferred through feces, where it can survive for a
lengthy period of time, states a release issued by the National Pork Producers Council. In order to combat the relatively new disease, discovered in May, pork producers met at a regional meeting in August to discuss bio-security as well as ways to prevent the spread of the disease. Guidelines include monitoring the transfer of manure as well as cleaning all equipment and clothing that come into contact with feces. Documents containing recommendations for containment as well as manure application practices can be found at www.pork.org/Research/2641/ResearchLatestNews.aspx.

OCTOBER 2013
Bred for the best Taylor County pork producer offers high-end pork from unique breed by Greg Forbes Pork’s popularity has increased tremendously in recent years and products may now be found in drinks, ice cream and much more. Demand required more products from consumers and better products from chefs and butchers. One Iowa pork producer was more than happy to oblige. Steve Kerns, who runs a family farm operation in Clearfield that has adopted mix and specialty breeds, heard that Japanese grocery stores had an interest in a pork product similar in quality to Kobe beef. Kerns knew of a producer from Washington State that raised Mangalitsa, a breed that originated in Hungary and Austria known for its thick fat and dark red meat. Kerns purchased a few of the breeding stock of the producer’s herd nearly three years ago and the demand from high-end chefs for the fatty delicacy became apparent. “It takes an excellent chef to know
how to work with them,” Kerns said. Chefs desire the pig’s fat, which is used for lard and spreads and is rendered down into shortening. “It’s mono-saturated and has a low melting point,” he said. “Chefs don’t want the pigs unless they have two or three inches of fat, which is contrary to the pork industry standards.” Recently, Kerns butchered and sold his first purebred pig just two weeks ago. Kerns said the pipeline for his high quality product has opened up to white tablecloth restaurants in large cities such as Chicago and Denver and major cities on either coast. He mentioned that, at about 40 sows, his operation is now building a constant supply to harvest approximately 20 pigs per month. “We’re going to keep it about at that level for a while,” he said. “You start supplying too much, then your prices may go down.” Kerns also mentioned that the pigs take some time to process as they mature at 11 to 12 months old. He feeds them a special diet of corn and soybean meal and then switches to barley or wheat towards the end. This process allows the pigs to develop the savory fat. “If they grow too quickly, they aren’t as tender and fat,” he said. Because the pigs originated in Hungary, they were housed outside, which allows the “wooly pig” to adapt to the Iowa winters.
Recently, Kerns had the opportunity to sample his product at a dinner in Orient prepared by chef Katie Routh. “She was one of the first chefs in Iowa to use Mangalitsa,” he said. “She did an excellent job with them.” He noted that other chefs and restaurants throughout Iowa have also inquired about his product, which pleased him. “It’s been surprising to find some local markets in Iowa,” he said. Demand for his pigs varies from cut to cut on the animal. Some chefs request whole carcasses and while others request specific portions. A processor in North Carolina that won a national ham contest a few years ago using Mangalitsa recently requested hams from Kerns. “They wanted our product, which is good because sometimes the hams are the hardest things to move,” Kerns said. Although purebred Mangalitsa are highest end and most demanded product by top quality chefs, the Kerns operation has also experimented with crossbreeding the Mangalitsas with Berkshires, another unique and quality breed. He said the crossbreeds, dubbed “Mangbos”, are increasing in popularity and produce a less fatty cut. “We provide the Mangbos for the people that don’t want the extreme fat but want the marbling, coloring and flavor,” he said.
Mt. Pleasant eatery has best breaded pork tenderloin in Iowa The Iowa Pork Producers Association selected River Rock Café in Mt. Pleasant in southeast Iowa as the winner of the 2013 Best Breaded Pork Tenderloin contest. River Rock Café will receive $500, a plaque and statewide publicity for winning IPPA’s 11th annual contest. IPPA’s Restaurant and Foodservice Committee made the official award presentation at the café on October 16. “I am just so amazed to have won,” said owner Butch Bittle. “I have been working toward this award since we opened and it’s such an honor for both me and my staff.” River Rock Café double coats its handpounded pork tenderloins in a cracker and bread crumb mixture daily and serves roughly 500 a week. 209 Main in Paton came in a close second and will receive $250 and a plaque. Rounding out the top five finalists was the Hard Luck Café in Kalona, Doosky’s Pizza & Patio Restaurant in Hinton and Malarky’s Pub in Storm Lake. These three restaurants will receive an honorable mention plaque to display in their restaurant. Everyone who nominated River Rock was put in a drawing for $100 from IPPA. The winner is Jordan Ross of Mt. Pleasant. The best breaded pork tenderloin contest continues to be a highlight for many Iowans. The contest attracted 373 nominations this year and 42 restaurants received the required three or more nominations. All restaurants, cafes and taverns that serve breaded pork tenderloin sandwiches can be nominated for the award each year.

Pork popularity grows as health Iowa’s pork industry benefits become apparent By the numbers
by Greg Forbes Although grill season is near the end doesn’t mean pork can’t still be enjoyed. When the leaves change colors and temperatures cool, pork consumers tend to trade charcoal and propane for indoor appliances. “As the season becomes cooler, cooking outside, like grilling with chops and ribs, becomes less prominent and the oven becomes a more popular cooking method, with roasts for example,” said Adria Sheil-Brown, dietitian for the National Pork Board. Sheil-Brown said regardless of a consumer’s preferred cooking method, cuts such as pork chops, roasts and tenderloins should be prepared with internal temperatures between 145 degrees (medium rare) and 160 degrees (medium). Ground pork should be cooked to 160 degrees. The presence of pork in a regular diet provides a source of high protein as well as several essential vitamins and minerals including zinc, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12. Sheil-Brown said most of today’s cuts have 16 percent less total fat and 27 percent less saturated fat compared to 20 years ago. “Cuts of pork that come from the loin – including chops and roasts – and 96 percent lean ground pork are the leanest
cuts of pork available,” she said. She added that higher protein diets, featuring lean pork cuts, can contribute to weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight by helping decrease intake. “Recent research found that when obese and overweight individuals switched to a high-protein diet consisting of 25 percent of total calories coming from lean pork and other proteins, they reported an increased feeling of fullness throughout the day,” she said. An improvement in pork quality and nutrition and the revealed health benefits have seen pork sales rise to an all time high. Sheil-Brown said domestic sales for the fiscal year, ending June 30, 2013, were up 1.7 percent total dollar sales compared to last year. Dr. Matt Swantek, swine field specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, said the versatility of pork can also be credited to its sudden increase in popularity. “Pork is such a diverse product, it can be used in homes and restaurants, from salads and sandwiches, entrees and even desserts and drinks,” Swantek said. “Bacon, in particular, has become an excellent addition to many sandwiches and other food, such as ice cream.”
Sheil-Brown explained that meat counters in grocery stores nationwide were given a makeover to cater to pork’s growing popularity. Many cuts received new names, which Sheil-Brown said was due to confusion by similarly named cuts of meat. “Subsequently, consumers did not know what to do with or how to cook a variety of cuts,” she said. “As a solution, the National Pork Board simplified the pork cut names and included basic usage and preparation information on the package.” She said consumers can soon expect to find the new names at retailers. Following are the new and former names of the revamped pork cuts: Porterhouse Pork Chop (Previous name: Loin Chop) Ribeye Pork Chop, Bone-In (Previous name: Rib Chop Center) Ribeye Pork Chop (Previous name: Rib Chop) New York Pork Chop (Previous name: Top Loin Chop) When shopping for pork, along with the new names, customers are advised to use their eyes before putting meat on the grill or in the oven. “Color of product is important. The darker coloring over lighter coloring is going to provide a more tender, juicy and flavorful product,” she said.
• At the end of 2008, Iowa had 8,300 hog operations. • At any one time, there are approximately 19 million pigs being raised in Iowa. • Approximately 30 million hogs are raised in Iowa each year. • Iowa producers marketed more than 37 million hogs in 2008. • The U.S. pork industry marketed more than 121 million hogs in 2008. • Iowa is the number one pork producing state in the U.S. and the top state for pork exports. Source: National Pork Board, Iowa Agriculture Statistics Service www.nass.usda.gov/ia/ Iowa Pork Production Economic Contributions: • The Iowa pork industry generates nearly $950 million in household income for pork producers. • More than 39,000 jobs are directly related to raising and caring for hogs in Iowa. • Iowa pork production alone contributes nearly $5 billion to the Iowa economy. • Several billion dollars are generated in the state each year from pork processing activities. • The total value added by Iowa pork producers to the state is more than $2.5 billion. Statistics based on 2007 U.S. Census of Agriculture and analysis by Spencer Parkinson of Decision Innovation and Iowa State University. Note: results of the 2012 Census of Agriculture are scheduled to be released early in 2014.

IOWA FARM & RANCH
Driving and waiting I spent three hours in my vehicle last weekend and never left our county. Saturday morning was spent ferrying my husband back and forth from our farm to one of our fields across town. U n f o r t u n a t e l y, I couldn’t help him get everything back to the farm after he was done harvesting the soybeans because I had a full day at work on Monday. Thankfully my mother-in-law helped him out that day instead. In our area of the state, hills abound and the flat land is few and far between. Right before we were married, my husband snapped up some of the flat land about 7 miles away from where our farm is located. He and his parents had also grabbed a field around 9 miles the other
direction years ago as well. This means that in the spring and fall I “get” to spend half a day helping move all the equipment needed to farm those acres. The spring isn’t so bad, as all he really needs is the tractor/planter and the truck with the seed in the back of it. One trip to plant the corn and another to plant the soybeans and we’re done. The fall is where we really get hung up on the driving for hours and going nowhere. We have to move the combine, the pickup with the corn or soybean head on the trailer behind it, and two grain trucks. But wait, there’s more. When he comes back over to do corn, we have to add another tractor and grain cart to the mix.
So, we have four trips for soybeans and five trips for corn. Then, we have a total of four and five more trips when he’s done with the field to move everything back. Take that multiplied by two fields in opposite directions. That’s 36 trips in the fall for those of you who don’t want to do the math. Yay. Unfortunately, it’s a series of constantly driving, picking up, dropping off, and driving some more, so I have little free time to read or do anything else. In the time it takes to move everything, I could have driven to Des Moines and half way back. However, the crops on it yield far better than the hilly land so it’s a good trade-off. The big kid turns 16 in January. I hope that next

non-existent because the big kid can take over with the picking up and dropping off. I don’t think I’ll be that lucky. The one thing I don’t have to do this year is waiting to pick up the big kid at school events. I’ve never been so happy that he has a school permit, and that I can trust him to drive responsibly. He’s in so many after school and evening activities that I would have probably spent most of this fall ferrying him back and forth to the farm at night. Unfortunately, in a couple years the little one will be at an age where he is going to require ferrying as well. But until that time, I’m going to enjoy my free evening once or twice a week.

excited about sharing their skills and interests with the youth of Iowa,â&#x20AC;? 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Training volunteers in positive youth development knowledge and skills helps them deliver a quality program to reach our outcomes with youth,â&#x20AC;? 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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,â&#x20AC;? 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Volunteers are the fundamental bedrock of 4-H,â&#x20AC;? said Gleason.

Volunteers are a key part of 4-H Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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-Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;4-H needs volunteers who are

Pork producers connect farm to fork October became known as Pork Month because it marked the time of year when hogs were traditionally marketed. Today, it serves as a celebration to thank pork producers and share their stories with consumers. “If you eat, you have a connection to a farmer every day,” said Karen Richter, National Pork Board President and Montgomery, Minnesota, pork producer. “October Pork Month is an opportunity to refresh the connection consumers have with farmers. We are committed to continuous improvement on our farms and to providing high-quality pork products for families across the United States and around the world.” In 2008, pork producers adopted the six ethical principles at National Pork Industry Forum. The pork industry follows the six guiding ethical principles of the We Care initiative to maintain a safe, high-quality food supply of pork. Producers are committed to: • Producing safe food; • Safeguarding natural resources in all industry practices; • Providing a work environment that is safe and consistent with the industry’s other ethical principles; • Contributing to a better quality of life in communities; • Protecting and promoting animal well-being; and • Ensuring practices to protect public health. “These ethical principles define our values and who we are,” said Richter. “Consumers can be confident that the pork they eat was raised using these ethical principles.” Pork is the world’s most widely eaten meat repre-
senting 42 percent of the meat consumed, according to the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service. Some 81 percent of the population consumes pork in-home at least once in an average two-week period. The top five most popular pork products include ham, sausage, bacon, lunchmeat (excluding ham) and pork chops. Of pork products consumed at home, ham accounts for 31.1 percent, sausage represents 19.6 percent, bacon totals 18.1 percent, lunchmeat accounts for 10.3 percent and pork chops round out the top five with 10.2 percent of pork consumed in-home. “Consumers recognize the versatility of serving pork in their homes,” Richter said. “Cooking to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s recommended internal temperature of 145° F will ensure flavorful and tender pork on the plate.” The National Pork Board has responsibility for Checkoff-funded research, promotion and consumer information projects and for communicating with pork producers and the public. Through a legislative national Pork Checkoff, pork producers invest $0.40 for each $100 value of hogs sold. Pork importers also invest a comparable amount. The Pork Checkoff funds national and state programs in advertising, consumer information, retail and foodservice marketing, export market promotion, production improvement, technology, swine health and pork safety. For information on Checkoff-funded programs, pork producers can call the Pork Checkoff Service Center at 800-456-PORK or check the Internet at www.pork. org.
Consider needs when buying pork products Before purchasing pork, take a moment to consider your needs. Ask yourself a couple of quick questions: How many people are you planning to feed? The average serving size for pork is three ounces of cooked meat. Start with four ounces of boneless, raw pork to yield three ounces of cooked pork. A three-ounce serving is about the size of a deck of cards. If time is limited for a weeknight meal, select smaller quick-cooking cuts such as pork chops, cutlets, cubes or strips. If you’re entertaining for a holiday meal and have several other dishes to prepare, consider choosing larger, slow-cooking cuts such as roasts that cook several hours and require little attention. Modern-day production has reduced pork’s fat content. In fact, pork is a major contender in the lean meat category and many cuts of pork are as lean or leaner than chicken. For example, pork tenderloin is just as lean as a skinless chicken breast with 2.98 grams of fat per three-ounce serving and meets the government guidelines for “extra lean.” For the leanest cuts of pork, look for the words “loin” on the label. Reading the meat label Type of meat: listed first on every label, this indicates whether the cut is pork, beef, lamb or veal. Primal/wholesale cut: this specifies which section of the animal the meat comes from. It is a good indicator of the relative tenderness of the cut and can help the shopper decide which method of cookery to use when preparing the cut. This part of the label may read shoulder, loin, leg, etc. Retail cut: this gives the shopper the specific name of the smaller cut taken from the primal cut. This part of the label may read blade roast, rib chop, sirloin roast, etc. Cost: to get the most for your money, calculate the cost per serving. Some boneless cuts may seem more expensive, but actually are a better buy because you are not paying for the bone. Cost per serving = Cost per pound / number of servings per pound.

we can help you SAVE $$$ on your NH3 cost. Ammonia recommendations are based on past history going back to the 50â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Since rates have always been uneven because of primitive distribution methods, those recommendations include an insurance amount to offset losses on rows getting the least ammonia. With equality of rows, you can avoid that insurance amount and you will save 10% or more on your anhydrous cost.
