Iowa swine inventory grows by Emma Struve The total swine inventory in Iowa is slightly ahead of the national trend as it is up by two percent according to the Quarterly Hogs and Pigs report released September 28 by the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service. The United States hog inventory is up one percent. Iowa inventory numbers for September 1, 2010, compared to the same date in 2011 are as follows: Breeding herd – 1.01 million in 2010, 1.02 million in 2011, up 1% Market hogs – 18.59 million in 2010, 18.98 million in 2011, up 2% Shortly after the report was released, the National Pork Board hosted a teleconference with market analysts who offered their comments on the data. Altin Kalo, an economist with Steiner Consulting, a Manchester, New Hampshire, firm, said that the numbers in the report essentially reflected what the market was expecting, but were perhaps a half-percent higher than pre-report estimates. He continued that the trend toward more than expected farrowings will likely continue through the next two quarters and when combined with the higher number of pigs per litter recently being experience in the industry, producers should expect a “markedly greater pig crop,” more than one percent higher. Kalo cautioned that if the U.S. dollar strengthens in the world market, pork exports may slow. Jim Robb, director of the Livestock Marketing Information Center in Lakewood, Colorado, concurred with the increased inventory projections through the first half of 2012. SWINE INVENTORY...Page 4A

NPPC claims victory with passage of Free Trade Agreements
40 Iowa counties among nation’s top hog-producing counties The map above shows the 40 Iowa counties that were among the nation’s top 100 hog-producing counties, according to the 2007 USDA Census of Agriculture, which is conducted every five years. Sioux County was Iowa’s top and the nation’s fourth highest hog-producing county with 1,094,268 head.
Pork’s economic impact on Iowa On average, approximately 30 million hogs are raised in Iowa each year. Iowa producers marketed more than 37 million hogs in 2008. Iowa is the number one pork producing state in the U.S. and the top state for pork exports. The Iowa pork industry generates nearly $950 million in household income for pork producers. More than 39,000 jobs are directly related to rais-
ing 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. Iowa pork exports reached an all-time high of $1.1 billion in 2010.

Calling it one of the “greatest victories ever for the U.S. pork industry,” the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) lauded the October 12 Congressional approval of the free trade agreements with Colombia, Panama and South Korea. “These trade agreements will be a boon for U.S. pork producers and for the U.S. economy and jobs,” said Doug Wolf, NPPC president and a pork producer from Lancaster, Wisconsin. “Passage of these FTAs is one of the greatest victories ever for the U.S. pork industry.” The deals with Colombia, Panama and South Korea, when fully implemented, will generate nearly $772 million in new pork sales, add more than $11 to the price producers receive for each hog marketed and create more than 10,000 pork industry jobs, according to Iowa State University economist Dermot Hayes. “It was extremely important that we approved these FTAs now,” Wolf said, “because while these deals have languished for more than four years, our competitors have negotiated their own trade agreements with Colombia, Panama and South Korea, and the United States has lost market share in those countries.” The U.S. pork industry was instrumental in getting the trade agreements approved, particularly the deal with South Korea. Last December when the United States and the Asian nation were at an impasse over trade in autos, the U.S. pork industry agreed to move back the effective date for when much of its exports enter Korea at a zero tariff rate. NPPC led the agricultural community in support of the FTAs. “America’s pork producers are grateful to the Obama administration’s trade team, including U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk, and to Congress for getting the trade agreements done,” Wolf said. “Now we call on the United States and these three FTA partners to get the agreements implemented ASAP. The longer it takes to implement, the more U.S. market share in these nations will be imperiled.” Exports are vital to the U.S. pork industry, which last year shipped nearly $4.8 billion of pork, an amount that added about $56 to the price producers received for each hog marketed.

SWINE INVENTORY, from Page 1A Right now, he said, “We have had profitability in the overall hog complex.” But Robb recommended producers be cautious going forward as the increased flow of pigs into the system will have an impact. Concerning the U.S. economic situation Dale Durcholz, senior analyst with AgriVisor Services in Bloomington, Illinois, remarked that people “usually still ate well even if they couldn’t by cars and freezers” but wondered if this lingering recession would prove to be different due to its duration and the extensiveness of unemployment. He also questioned what impact the recession would have on the domestic meat demand. The commentators also shared their observations on increased productivity and efficiency in the nation’s sow heard. Kalo said that the one percent overall increase was “significant, but maybe not terribly so” as the percentage was due to a numerical change of approximately 36,000 sows.
He noted that the gains in efficiency, observed in increasing pigs per litter during the past 15 years, appear to have plateaued since 2007. Robb countered that there was a two percent growth in pigs per litter and “each sow is putting out more pigs than its predecessor did; productivity growth compounds over time.” However, he expressed no immediate concern for barn space. In an interview with Iowa Farm & Ranch Iowa State University Department of Economics Livestock Marketing Extension Specialist Shane Ellis also said that the “futures market indicates high (hog) prices through the next year.” The caveat would be if the recession deepens. He also analyzed the effect of the contracting beef market on the swine industry. “Next year we’re going to have less beef produced,” Ellis commented. “There are cull cows coming out of drought stricken areas.” At the same time, exports of beef continue to increase and domestic demand remains high, which results in high beef prices.
OCTOBER 2011
Ellis continued that as beef prices are driven up, “Pork could benefit from the beef market. As beef prices go up, pork prices will go up…as long as the economy holds up.” He has also observed construction of swine buildings occurring regionally in the southern half of the state. The industry went through “tough times” in 2008 and 2009 but experienced a “return to profitability in 2010.” Despite high feed prices, 2011 has continued to be profitable for swine producers. “(Construction) has to do with where hogs are coming in and where they are going to be processed,” Ellis commented. Buildings are also being sited where they do not have to compete with ethanol processing facilities. He also cited increased efficiency – increased litter size – as an impetus to adding building capacity. Ellis’ take-away from the Quarterly Hogs and Pigs report: “Nothing was overly earth shattering, we were anticipating modest growth and the growth started with efficiency and now we’re adding a few sows.”

Gambling, projects, and puppies One of my friends is getting married this weekend, which is causing me to reflect on my wedding. When my husband and I were engaged, my dad asked me if I liked to gamble. While the activity is sometimes fun, I can really take it or leave it, which is what I told my dad. He responded by telling me that by marrying a farmer, I’ll be gambling for the rest of my life. Farming is gambling. You plant the seeds in the spring, then throw the weather dice. People say that farmers complain a lot, but I think
that’s just because so many things can go wrong once you stick those seeds in the ground. Too much water. Not enough water. Too many chemicals. Not enough fertilizer. Not warm enough. Too hot to grow. Hail. Wind. Tornadoes. Floods. Deer. Cows. The list is endless, and almost anything can happen to threaten the crop. Really, it’s a wonder farmers even have a smile on their faces most of the time.

In the fall, I often get asked how far along my husband is in the harvesting. My response always is that I never ask him. Sure, if he comes home and tells me that he’s done with beans or done with a certain field, I’ll listen. But, asking a farmer how much he’s harvested and when he’ll be done is akin to asking a pregnant lady when she’s going to have the baby. They both are done when they’re done. After 17 years, I don’t ask him anything in the fall, or the spring for that matter. We now have all of our
4-H steers picked out, and my son has named them Hannibal, BA, and Murdock. Last year’s calves were named after characters in Smokey and the Bandit; this year it’s The ATeam. We also got a new puppy that the boys have named Patch. He’s a farm dog, but for now we’re letting him sleep in the garage so the wild critters don’t get him. Oh, did I mention that the dog’s nickname is “Face” another A-Team reference. Unfortunately, the boys haven’t had good luck with dogs over the past few years that we’ve been on the
farm. We’ve adopted some from our shelter, but they seem to not understand that they can’t run after tractors, wander off or get stolen. This is the first puppy that we’ve gotten, so I had to take him in for a puppy physical and shots. When I told my husband about it, he said that he hoped that this one stayed around. For now, Patch has decided to stay around the farm. It’s a gamble. But, then again, so is showing calves and waking up each morning. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Field agronomists weigh in on harvest by Emma Struve Iowa State University Extension field agronomists from across western Iowa responded to a survey about the 2011 harvest, now nearing its end. Contributing to October’s crop progress analysis are: Paul Kassel – of Spencer, specializing in educational programs in crop production and protection and serving Dickinson, Emmett, Clay, Palo Alto, Kossuth, Winnebago, Hancock, Buena Vista, Pocahontas, and Sac counties in north central Iowa John Holmes – of Clarion, specializing in corn and soybean management, pest identification and management (weed, insects, plant disease, soybean cyst nematode), soil fertility, and soil survey use and serving Worth, Cerro Gordo, Humboldt, Wright, Franklin, Webster, Hamilton, and Hardin counties in north central Iowa Aaron Saeugling – of Lewis, specializing in educational programs in crop production and protection and serving Pottawattamie, Cass, Adair, Madison, Mills, Montgomery, Adams, Union, Fremont, Page, Taylor, Ringgold, Shelby,
Audubon, Clarke, and Decatur counties in southwest Iowa Mark Licht – of Carroll, specializing in educational programs for agronomic resource management with emphasis in: conservation and land use; manure nutrient management; soil and water quality; soil fertility; soil survey use; and crop production, and serving Carroll, Greene, Boone, Story, Marshall, Guthrie, Dallas, Polk, Jasper, Warren, and Marion counties in central Iowa Clarke McGrath – of Harlan, specializing in corn, soybean and forage production and protection, weed control program development, precision ag, fertility program development, field training/coaching of crop scouting skills and serving Harrison, Crawford, Shelby, and Audubon counties in west central Iowa. Q. Can you provide an estimate of the bean and corn harvest progress in your area? A. Kassel: I am figuring soybean harvest is essentially complete. Corn harvest is about 75 percent complete. A very rapid harvest pace.
A r e Yo u Charged and Ready?
Don’t let a bad batter y slow you down this winter
Holmes: Farmers are winding down on soybeans. I’d say that 90 to 95 percent of the soybeans have been harvested. Farmers are making great progress on corn. I’d say farmers have harvested 50 to 60 percent of the corn as of this writing (October 17). Saeugling: As of this writing (October 17) I would estimate soybeans to be about 90 percent complete and 30 percent of corn. Licht: As of today (October 17) I’d say that harvest is moving quickly, most of the soybeans in central Iowa are harvested – 98 percent – and a good majority of the corn has been harvested, maybe 85 percent. McGrath: Bean fields are about all wrapped up. Corn is around two-thirds done, but that varies a lot from area to area. Where we have a lot of corn that lodged, we are further behind. Q. Please share moisture and yield observations for the crops in your area. HARVEST...Page 7A

HARVEST, from 6A A. Kassel: Soybeans are too dry; soybeans harvested this week were 11 to 12 percent, last week’s were seven to eight percent. There’s not much you can do about it. Corn has been in the low teens for moisture. Holmes: Soybeans were really dry; most were harvested at around 10 percent or less. This affected yields by reducing them slightly. A bushel of 10 percent soybeans weight 58.2 pounds but the yield is calculated on a 60 pound basis. That’s a three percent reduction just because the soybeans were dryer than the standard moisture of 13 percent. Corn is similar—it’s really dry. Last week farmers were taking corn from the field at 15 to 16 percent. Many farmers report harvesting corn at moistures of 14 percent. Most farmers won’t dry corn this fall; any drying that will be done will be done by just running the fans. I would remind farmers to remember to cool their grain as temperatures drop. Farmers should cool grain by running fans long enough for the entire bin to cool to the outside temperature every time the average daily temperature drops by 10 degrees. A lot of this grain got put in the bin when temps were in the 70s. If the grain isn’t cooled, there is a potential for moisture to accumulate, temperatures to rise, and the grain will go out of condition. Saeugling: Soybean yields have ranged from 40 to 70 bushels per acre. Most soybeans came out of the field at 10 percent or lower, but yields were good. Corn has done well despite the hot temperatures. Yields range from below a hundred in hail and wind damaged areas to more than 200 in areas not affected by major weather issues. Most corn is dry and going in the bin or to local elevators. Corn quality looks to be very good. Licht: At the beginning of soybean harvest, many beans
PAGE 7A
were coming out at 15 to 16 percent moisture and they were tough to get harvested. Towards the end of bean harvest, they were coming out at seven or eight percent, which is way too dry. Corn dry-down went pretty quickly too; starting out at 20 to 25 percent and dropping to 14 to 16 percent now. Early corn was dried down using dryers, now most are able to put it in bins and run fans if additional drying is needed. Yields are doing better than I had expected considering the July and August heat wave, but still not seeing yields as high as past years. McGrath: Beans actually got a little too dry in some fields, but that is common in dry, windy and warm falls. Corn is typically drying well, and for the most part we haven’t had a lot of “wet” corn coming out of the fields. When corn naturally dries into the teens, it makes handling and storage much easier, so guys are generally happy about the moisture levels we have encountered. Yields have been all over the place, more so than in most years. In general, we are mildly disappointed in the soybean yields, and pleasantly surprised with the corn yields given the heat and dry weather we had. Given the extreme nature of the environment this year, the genetics held up really well. Where we had storm damage, those guys suffered dramatic yield losses, which slowed harvest and can irreparably damage cash flow. Also, the flooded ground will take years to bring back into production, so we have some growers and land owners facing huge challenges with those acres. Q. Are you observing or anticipating any storage or input shortages in your area? A. Kassel: I have not heard of fertilizer or fuel shortages. I have not heard of storage issues, but that may be an issue this week as farmers finish harvest.
Licht: Because yields are not as high as past years, storage is not as big of an issue either, unless individual growers made a switch from corn following soybeans to corn following corn. McGrath: NH3 (gas) is prone to have spot supply and transportation challenges when we have stretches of good fieldwork weather in the fall. I wouldn’t expect this fall to be any different if we have a good weather window for fall gas application. Q. Please share any recommendations or suggestions concerning fall tillage. A. Kassel: Soil conditions are dry so soil fracturing should work well for those who need to do tillage. Holmes: With soils as dry as they are, this will be a good year to V-rip or chisel plow. Soils will shatter well. Strip-tillage should also work very well. Saeugling: Long-term tillage studies in southwest Iowa show no advantage to soybean yields by using tillage. For corn yields, that depends on the weather next year. McGrath: If any tillage needs to be done, it is great to get on it while it is dry, which limits compaction and enhances the “shattering” action that deep fall tillage is designed to do. If there is no compelling agronomic reason for tillage, I promote no-till if the soil type is conducive to that system. Q. Any upcoming educational opportunities? A. Holmes: Pesticide applicator training schedules are being put together now. Farmers should watch the brochures in the next month. Saeugling: Look for the Crop Advantage series meeting January 18 at the Cass County Community Building in Atlantic (more information to follow in future issues).

Hog confinement windbreaks provide many benefits by Jason Johnson, Public Affairs Specialist, USDA-NRCS, Des Moines Financial and technical assistance may be available from USDA to eligible Iowa hog farmers for the installation of natural windbreaks to surround confinement buildings. Windbreaks provide energy savings and other environmental and aesthetic benefits. Through USDA’s Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), eligible Iowa landowners can receive $862 or more per acre to install a windbreak planted around farmsteads and building sites. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) administers EQIP for USDA. These types of windbreaks, also called shelterbelts, typically include a minimum of three rows of trees and/or shrubs – an inside row of shrubs for odor control and outside rows of hardwood and conifer trees. “Tree and shrub species selections depend on the soil type and the goal of the landowner,” said Becky Hanson, soil conservation technician with NRCS in Northwood. Besides improving air quality through odor reduction, windbreaks planted around building sites can be designed to: protect against northwest winds in the winter allow southern breeze in the summer provide a noise or visual screen manage snow deposition attract wildlife
This illustration shows a windbreak designed to protect two hog confinement buildings from northwest winds. For more information about windbreaks, visit your local NRCS office or visit the Iowa NRCS website at www.ia.nrcs.usda.gov. Graphic by Logan Phillips

Software helps producers track pork’s carbon footprint As part of the pork industry’s continuing commitment to protecting the environment, pork producers are utilizing the Carbon Footprint Calculator software provided by the Pork Checkoff. “The National Pork Board’s motivation for doing the Carbon Footprint Initiative was to help producers see where they could realize benefits from more efficient operations,” said Allan Stokes, director of environmental programs for the Pork Checkoff. “Also, this effort demonstrates producers’ commitment to doing the right thing, as outlined in the industry’s We Care initiative.” The initial release of the Carbon Footprint Calculator made its debut during the annual World Pork Expo in Des Moines on June 8. Many producers, with a variety of production systems, took their first step in discovering how to become more socially responsible during the event by picking up the tool. “The analysis helps us to understand the Green House Gas contribution of live-hog production relative to other portions of the overall pork chain,” Stokes said. Pork producers can use the tool to enter information specific to their farm, such as rations, manure management systems and types and sizes of animal housing. The tool accommodates a variety of production systems, from confinement systems with lagoons or deep pits to production systems with pasture-raised pigs. The tool, which was developed and refined with producer input, generates a report for the producer’s use only. “As we went through the literature review, I realized the complexity of the mathematical calculations behind the tool,” Spronk said. “Yet, when you run the tool and its 17 steps, it really is very easy to input the data and get results.” Using the Carbon Footprint Calculator validated Spronk’s decision to changeover all of the light bulbs in his facilities to the energy saving compact fluorescent light bulbs, he said. In addition, the tool can be used both proactively and retroactively. It can help producers make environmentally friendly and money saving decisions in the future as well as provide scientifically supported data for the decisions made in the past, according to Spronk. 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 40 cents for each $100 value of hogs sold. The Pork Checkoff funds national and state programs in advertising, consumer information, retail and foodservice marketing, export market promotion, production improvement, technology, swine health, pork safety and environmental management.

Pheasants Forever farm bill biologist now available in Crawford, Carroll counties by Emma Struve A Pheasants Forever farm bill biologist who is available to provide assistance to agriculture producers with conservation measures is now in place in Crawford County. The position is made possible through a partnership between the national organization and public entities. KR Buck, with the local Pheasants Forever chapter, and national PF representative John Linquist, presented the farm bill biologist plan to the Crawford County Board of Supervisors prior to establishing the fiscal year 2012 budget, in early 2011. At that time Buck said, “We are now going to have a professional to work with landowners.” He added that in addition to providing service to local landowners this position will also help the Crawford County Pheasants Forever chapter by increasing awareness about habitat and conservation. Linquist had said that the initial idea for the positions, which have now been “on the ground” in other parts of Iowa for more than a year, was observing a decline in habitat quantity and quality in the last 40 years, taken in conjunction with recent bad winters and floods. One result has been a precipitous decline in the pheasant population. “Soil and water quality are the two most precious commodities for ag and conservation,” Linquist added. The Board of Supervisors decided to aid in funding the local position at a rate of $7,000 this year. Dustin Farnsworth was hired to perform the duties of farm bill biologist in Crawford and Carroll counties. “I made up my mind fairly early in life that I was going to stay here and improve the landscape. What
better way to do that?” Farnsworth said about position he has undertaken. Farnsworth is originally from Jefferson and grew up hunting and fishing in Green and Guthrie counties. “My family is a farming family from way back,” he elaborated. Adding to Farnsworth’s practical background is an education obtained at Iowa State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in ecology and a Master of Science degree in wildlife biology in 2007 and 2009, respectively. “At ISU that was my niche…if I was going to go into conservation that was what I was going to do,” Farnsworth explained about his program of study. “I liked ecology because it gives you a broader view, a systems approach to conservation.” After college, he worked in Green and Boone counties in a position similar to the one he has recently undertaken but as a part-time federal employee aiding producers with conservation. Additionally, Farnsworth’s experience managing grasslands spans three different states and multiple agencies including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Missouri Department of Conservation, Natural Resource Conservation Service and Iowa State University. His past work experiences have included work as a biological and research technician surveying plants, seeding and mowing reconstructed prairies, spraying invasive species as a habitat management intern, wildland firefighter, and serving as a fire crew member in prescribed fire operations.
THERE IS ONLY ONE. THE ORIGINAL. SUNFLOWER.
“ S A B ER - S H A RP ”. A N D DES I G N E D TO S TAY T H AT WAY.
“Pheasants Forever is the habitat organization, their focus is to put more habitat on the ground,” Farnsworth stated. “This office (USDA NRCS/FSA), in Iowa, the conservation reserve program – CRP – most upland habitat, any kind of grassland habitat, that’s what it is – CRP.” He explained that his job is not just to get new acres but to improve acres that are already in the program. However, Farnsworth continued, he is very focused on helping producers meet their own goals, understanding that the agricultural atmosphere right now does not necessarily emphasize taking acres out of crop production. “When they come in and ask, ‘What can I do?’ I say, ‘What are your goals’?” Farnsworth commented. He added that “CRP is very stable and has a lot of benefits, not just monetarily. It can be, ‘Look what I’m doing for conservation and water quality.’ And guys do like to see pheasants out there.” Conservation measures do not have to be CRP but also include waterways and other initiatives, Farnsworth continued. “Every situation is different and certain programs fit better than others,” he said. “I try to match that producer or landowner with a practice.” He is one of seven PF farm bill biologist currently working in Iowa; another five are expected to be hired by the end of the year and many more are employed around the country. “It’s exploded, the farm bill biologist program…and they are adding more every two or three months,” Farnsworth said. Farnsworth stated that he is more than willing to meet with producers in the field to review their farm or they can stop in and see him at the office located at 3707 Timber Line Drive in Denison or the USDA office in Carroll at 1917 North U.S. Highway 71. To contact him call the USDA office in Denison at 712-263-4123 or in Carroll at 712-792-1212.

IOWA FARM & RANCH
OCTOBER 2011
Western Iowa farmer feels lucky to be able to harvest Friends lost homes and crops to summer floods
"The yields are strong enough and prices are good enough, record farm income looks like a foregone conclusion," Lubben said. "It's kind of a fun time to be driving a combine." Burgoin, who described his yields as "decent," said he feels lucky to be out in his combine. He has friends who lost their homes and crops in this summer's floods. "I have a friend who lives north of Council Bluffs, he won't even have to go to the field this fall," Burgoin said. "It's bothering him, big time." It's been a wild year, with floods drowning crops along the Missouri River and drought parching them in the southern plains. An early July hot spell hampered pollination, resulting in thin ears in some cornfields. Burgoin is among some western Iowa farmers who lost some of their crops to August hail storms. If that's not enough calamity, recent weeks of dry weather have increased the risk of fire in harvest-ready fields. Hamburg (Fremont County) farmer Glen Stenzel lost about 20 percent of his crop, 550 acres, to Missouri River flooding. Then he lost another 50 acres of soybeans to fire earlier this month. He said the fire was started by a motorist
by Leslie Reed, Omaha World-Herald News Service This time of year, Silver City (Mills County) farmer Bob Burgoin often sees the moon rise as he hustles to bring his grain out of the field before winter. "We very seldom quit before dark," he said, talking on his cell phone from the combine cab. "When it's time to harvest, you harvest. You put everything else on hold -- except the grandkids." It's a story told over and over in the Midlands. With recent fair weather and good prices, grain farmers are working hard and fast to bring in their crops. University of Nebraska-Lincoln agricultural economist Brad Lubben said the signs point to another year of record farm income, even though 2011 probably won't result in the bumper crops of the last few years. Prices are still at profitable levels, though they have weakened a bit from their summer time highs.
who flicked a cigarette out of a car window on U.S. 275. The recent weeks of mostly clear and dry weather have put Nebraska, Iowa and many of their corn-growing neighbors in the northern plains ahead of schedule with harvest. A U.S. Department of Agriculture report issued on October 17 showed Iowa's soybean harvest to be 87 percent complete and Nebraska's at 84 percent -- considerably ahead of schedule compared to the average of the past five years. Burgoin finished combining his soybeans Friday (October 14). He wanted to finish that crop first, because beans get tough and hard to combine in wet weather. He started picking corn on Saturday and said he has a couple weeks of work yet to harvest that crop. Many other Nebraska and Iowa farmers are using the same strategy. The USDA reported that Nebraska's corn harvest was 30 percent complete and Iowa's was 45 percent completed. Both states rank high with the quality of their corn crop, with 75 percent of Nebraska's crop rated in good to excellent condition and 61 percent of Iowa's crop in good to excellent condition.
Governors unite for more river control by David Hendee, Omaha World-Herald New Service In the aftermath of historic flooding this summer, governors from North Dakota to Missouri said they plan to take a more active role in managing the Missouri River. "We've all been hurt by the Missouri River," North Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymple said Monday, October 17, in Omaha. The governors waded into the issue by proposing that the Army Corps of Engineers lower Lake Sakakawea behind Garrison Dam in North Dakota by 2.5 feet this fall in preparation for the possibility of another year of heavy precipitation. Dalrymple said lowering the reservoir more than usual this fall would make more room for water during spring runoff. "Would it prevent something like that happened this year? Of course not," Dalrymple said, adding that it would be a significant small step. Nebraska Govenor Dave Heineman hosted Dalrymple and Governors Terry Branstad of Iowa, Sam Brownback of Kansas and Dennis Daugaard of South Dakota at a private meeting with Army Corps of Engineers at the Gallup campus on the riverfront. They discussed this year's devastating flood-
ing, levee and highway repairs, and the corps' plans for operating the river in 2012. "The number one priority that we're all concerned about is flood control," Heineman said afterward. "For most governors now, our concern is about next year." The corps, which under congressional authority manages the 2,341-mile-long river and six reservoirs, has been criticized by some for the unprecedented flooding that swept out of Montana and the Dakotas after historic volumes of rainfall in the northern Plains overwhelmed reservoirs. High water swept across the floodplains of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas. Corps General John McMahon and Col. Robert Ruch met with the governors. The corps plans to publicly unveil its draft plan for operating the river system next year at a series of public meetings beginning October 24 in Omaha. The current plan calls for no changes in how much capacity the corps will reserve in the reservoirs for flood control next year. Dalrymple said the corps indicated that it would consider his plan. The corps itself may develop alternative plans for managing the river this year, said Monique Farmer, a corps

spokeswoman. Dalrymple's plan faces a hurdle, she said. "The system must be managed as a system," Farmer said. That means the downstream impact of upstream decisions must be accounted for, she said. Lowering Lake Sakakawea an additional 2.5 feet would create 750,000 acre-feet of additional water storage capacity, without causing downstream damage this fall. He said the additional capacity could be achieved by increasing Garrison Dam releases by 10,000 cubic feet per second for 38 days. Garrison was discharging 26,000 cfs on Monday, October 17. The governors also signed a letter to Congress, stating they were committed to having more direct involvement in managing the river system. Branstad said the issue of governors taking a more direct role is delicate because the corps is ultimately in charge. He also said he supports a bill by Representative Steve King, R-Iowa, to require the corps to permanently lower its reservoirs to accommodate possible future flooding. But the governors don't want to wait on the sidelines. "We're not all that confident that Congress is going to act," Branstad said. This report contains material from the Associated Press.
Iowa Soybean Association, Taiwanese delegation sign letter of intent On September 30, under the unmistakable gold dome of the Iowa State Capitol, members of the Taiwan Agricultural Goodwill Mission and the Iowa Soybean Association (ISA) signed a letter of intent for the Taiwanese purchase of U.S. soy products. The ceremony, set in the Rotunda, opened with remarks from Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey, who welcomed and thanked everyone for attending. “It takes a lot to get corn and soybean farmers out of their combines,” Northey said. “That they’re here shows just how important they view this meeting and the opportunity to discuss our continuing business with Taiwan.” Dr. Bao-Ji Chen, head of the Taiwan delegation, said it was great seeing old friends from Iowa, especially Governor Terry Branstad, who built the sister-state relationship between Iowa and Taiwan back in 1989. “We take this opportunity to ensure Taiwan’s ability to get a reliable, quality supply of corn and soybeans,” Chen said. “Iowa is the last stop on our trip, and we saved the best for last.” A letter of intent was signed by ISA President Dean Coleman of Humboldt and Han-Yeh Wang, chairman of the Taiwan Vegetable Oil Manufacturers Association (TVOA), stating the intent for TVOA to purchase between 103 million and 110 million bushels of U.S. soybeans in 2012 and 2013. “We’re very glad to have the Taiwan delegation in town,” Coleman said. “They are an important trading partner. With this signing, they will buy 20 percent of our soybean production over the next two years.”

Extension swine specialist joins team in southwest Iowa by Emma Struve Matt Swantek began working with Iowa State University Extension in west central and southwest Iowa six months ago. He and his family, originally from the Midwest, have settled in Arcadia. “We’re in western Iowa; that’s where all the hogs are – that’s exciting,” Swantek stated. “I’m hoping to bring a lot of expertise (to producers) from the last 30 years.” Although he grew up on a farm, Swantek’s early aspirations included being a veterinarian. He obtained a bachelor’s degree in animal production from the University of Nebraska in 1982. He went on to pursue a master’s degree and Ph.D. in nutrition from North Dakota State University. In addition to his educational endeavors, Swantek worked in several areas of private industry including research and for several years in nutrition technical support. “I have experience in every phase of swine production: reproduction, lactation or the nursing pig, sows, grow/finish, body composition, computer modeling, environmen-
tal, nutrition management and practices,” Swantek elaborated. While working in the swine industry, he noted, it was important to focus on financial management and marketing strategies. Swantek began collecting production records, profiling pig performance and tracking costs. “If we know the cost of production we can do a break even and then we know where we need to be to get the pigs sold the day the pigs arrive, to cash flow,” he explained. Since joining ISU Extension Swantek has become certified as a Pork Quality Assurance Plus Advisor, as well as worked with a variety of swine feed and production software programs. A focus in working with producers looking into the future of the swine industry will have to be strategizing to opti-
mize returns while still recognizing that each producer is unique and may have specialties to take into account. Swantek brings to the table a familiarity with nutritional programs, especially alternative ingredient programs, and feasibility assessments that go beyond “what’s on paper.” “Each alternative ingredient,” he commented, “brings its own physical characteristics. Just because it’s a good deal on paper doesn’t mean its going to be a good deal getting it into the barn.” He also pointed out that to be profitable now, producers have to be very sharp marketers and very aggressive grain purchasers. Swantek joined a team of six swine specialist in the state of Iowa. “It’s not very many but it’s more than any other state,” he commented. “Iowa has made an effort to support livestock as an industry through Extension.” He said his goals for the future include working with all members of the state’s swine industry to help Iowa maintain its position as the leader in supplying pork to the world.

PQA Plus was developed by the Pork Industry Animal Care Coalition, to be a continuous improvement program. The coalition, made up of pork producers, packers/processors, restaurants and food retailers, dedicated itself to finding a food-industry solution that would give confidence to consumers that U.S. pork is produced in a way that respects animal well-being. PQA Plus merges the food safety and animal wellbeing concepts of the original PQA program into three steps: individual certification through education, farm site assessment and the opportunity for project verification that gives customer credibility.

Field fires plague 2011 harvest by Emma Struve Much of Iowa was without substantial rainfall for the first few weeks of the harvest season in September and field fires sparked across the state due to the dry conditions. The severity of the fires was exacerbated by high winds on many days. In north central Iowa, Iowa State University Extension Agronomist Paul Kassal commented, “Yes, we had many field fires – the worst, by far, that I can remember.” Although the fires primarily started during soybean harvest, standing corn was also burned. He suggested that this corn be harvested and stored separately from undamaged corn because grain buyers may not accept it. The corn damaged by fire may be able to be blended into cattle feed. “Cattle feeders have utilized damaged corn for a long time,” commented Russ Euken, ISU Extension beef field specialist who works out of Garner in north central Iowa. He specializes in nutrition, facilities, health, records, and budgeting as well as computer applications for livestock production. Euken mentioned that some fires, which affected his service area burned, the leaves and husks off corn plants but left the ears and stalks
intact. In these cases the corn may not be too different than that which has gotten hot in storage. The most important aspect of working it into a cattle feeding program, then, is determining the nutrient, and primarily energy, value of the corn. However, corn that is too black may pose palatability issues. He also recommended livestock producers ask, “Is it priced reasonably? And balance the information with potentially decreased performance.” Euken shared that a study was conducted at Iowa State University by Garland Dahlke and Mary Drewnoski on damaged corn to determine the generalize effect of heat on nutrient content. Their results were published as part of the 2011 ISU Animal Industry Report and a calculation tool is included in nutrition software distributed through ISU Extension. “The idea is to take a small sample and grade the corn,” Euken said. An appendix that accompanies the report includes photos. Producers can use this tool to estimate the nutritional content of corn they are considering including in feedlot rations. Feeding damaged corn, Euken stated, “is always an individual situation.” Dahlke explained that the impetus for initiat-
ing the study was the large, wet corn harvest of 2009, which was stored in piles and sustained damage. He worked with an eastern Iowa cattle feeder to separate kernels based on their relative color, or “blackness,” into seven levels from undamaged to “nothing left.” Dahlke echoed Euken’s explanation that with fire-damaged corn “provided there’s not just ash left, you can takes samples of the kernels” and compare them with results demonstrated by the study to determine the feeding value. He added that one of the biggest changes will be in digestibility. Dahlke also cautioned cattle producers considering grazing livestock in burned fields, “Be careful with grazing because a lot of corn is left.” John Holmes, an ISU extension agronomist in north central Iowa but further south and east, also mentioned serious fires. “We had a very serious one northeast of Webster City, another was located in northwest Webster County, and a third was north of Kanawha. They all burned considerable acreage,” Holmes reported. FIRES . . . Page 5B
Dry corn and bean stubble and high winds can combine to create large field fires, like the one above that happened last fall in west central Iowa. At least 100 firefighters and 25 firefighting vehicles were called to the fire. Farmers with tractors pulling disks were instrumental in creating fire breaks that slowed the fire’s progress across the countryside. Photo by Todd Danner

Lt. Gov. Reynolds attends Canton Trade Fair, meets Chinese Premier Wen China largest contributor to U.S. export growth
Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds attended the 110th Canton Trade Fair the weekend of October 14 in Guangzhou, China. The Canton Trade Fair, also known as the China Import and Export Fair, is conducted biannually and is the largest gathering of traders in China. Reynolds spoke to seven Chinese Vice Governors on the need for bilateral trade and the benefits of Iowa products. Reynolds highlighted Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agriculture quality, including Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pork, corn, soybeans, beef and other Iowa commodities. She also met with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabo at the Canton Trade Fair. Premier Wen is the sixth and current premier and party secretary of the State Council of the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Republic of Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head of government and leading its cabinet. Premier Wen is widely regarded as the leading figure
behind Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy. Reynolds was in China on an economic development trip with the National Lieutenant Governors Association. Delegates on the trip attended meetings in both Shanghai and Beijing. From 2000-2010, China was the largest contributor to the United Statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; export growth of any major trading partner. In that period, exports to China grew 468 percent while exports to the rest of the world grew at an average of 55 percent. In Shanghai and Beijing, the lieutenant governors met with Chinese leaders in foreign affairs, aviation and education. Specifically, attendees and Chinese officials were scheduled to discuss possibilities for trade and cooperation in aviation and approaches to science, technology and math education (STEM) at all educational levels.

Opportunity awaits junior and senior students at Beef Scholarship Extravaganza High school juniors and seniors interested in cattle and beef production will take home more than $7,500 in scholarships from the Beef Scholarship Extravaganza on December 16 in Ames. The event is organized and hosted by the Iowa Cat-
tlemen’s Foundation as an educational opportunity for high school students. Teams of two to three students compete at 10 different stations that will test skills and knowledge of specific cattle and beef issues. The teams with the highest combined scores
will qualify for scholarship dollars, which will then be matched by several Iowa colleges. “Simply put, the Beef Scholarship Extravaganza is the best contest any of my students participate in during their high school years,” said Maquoketa
FFA Advisor Gary Bruns. Bruns regularly brings teams to the Extravaganza. “Every part of the contest is related to real life and requires the student to learn and demonstrate skills they will use in high school, in college and most importantly, in life. Students al-
ways tell me it was well worth all the work,” he commented. Team registrations are due November 1. Students can organize teams based on high school, FFA, 4-H, county or beef breeds affiliation to compete for the scholarships. Any adult can

FIRES, from Page 1B “The corn was standing in all cases; however, some soybean fields in the affected areas were harvested – but not all.” He offered that another option for corn that may be recovered is to sell it at a discounted price to some ethanol plants. Holmes continued, “The main question we get…is what happens to (residue) nutrients: the nitrogen is gone. You do lose the contribution to organic matter from the crop residue but that is minimal in the long run. Phosphorus and potassium remain.” In addition to the nutrient concerns ISU Extension Agronomist Aaron Seugling cautioned, “Soil erosion would be a major concern where fires have occurred, so avoiding any tillage this fall would be necessary.” Clarke McGrath, Extension agronomist serving west central Iowa, noted that field fires have also “impacted standing crops, residue from harvested acres, and equipment – like high dollar combines! Being a firefighter and having worked many field fire scenes, they can be tense and dangerous when it is dry and windy.”

Cooperative Enterprises Build a Better World Cooperatives exist to serve their members, whether they are the customers, employees or the local community. What’s more, these members are the owners, with an equal say in what the cooperative does. So, as well as getting the products and services they need, members help shape the decisions their cooperative makes. Across the United States, cooperatives are owned by more than 130 million people — and these numbers are growing. COOPERATIVES SHARE THEIR PROFITS AMONG MEMBERS Cooperatives want to trade successfully — they are businesses, not charities, after all. Members, such as farmers or freelancers, tenants or taxi drivers, can often do better working together. And sharing the profit is a way to keep it fair and make it worthwhile. Rather than rewarding outside investors, a cooperative shares its profits among the members.

COOPERATIVES ARE A SUCCESS AROUND THE WORLD This mix of self-help and mutual aid has made cooperatives an international force for good. 100 million people around the world are employed by cooperatives, while 800 million are members. Kenyan farmers trade their coffee for a fair price only because they are members of cooperatives. In France, nine out of ten farmers maintain their livelihood by being part of a cooperative. In Spain, the fans of Barcelona have a say in their football club because it’s owned by them.

USDA funds will help groups promoting fruits, vegetables, nuts, and flowers in Iowa Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey announced that the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship will be awarding $260,549 in grants to Iowa organizations to help enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops grown in Iowa. The Department received $276,526.15 through the Specialty Crop Block Grant Program from the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service to support the program. “Specialty crops are a very important part of Iowa agriculture as they allow farmers to diversify and give customers access to locally grown products,” Northey said. “These federal funds will support food safety, research and marketing efforts that will encourage Iowans to choose fruits, vegetables, nuts and flowers that are produced right here in our state.” Iowa agricultural non-profit organizations, cooperatives, specialty crop industry associations or organizations and producer groups were eligible to apply for funding to enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops. The Department also invited public comment from specialty crop stakeholders to help identify priorities for the program and established a Review Committee to help review, evaluate, and make recommendations on which grant proposals submitted to the Department should receive funding.
The maximum grant award from the Department to sub-grantees is $24,000 and administrative and indirect costs are not allowed. Grant funds shall be used for projects that benefit and enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops industry as a whole, and cannot be for projects that directly benefit a particular product or provide a profit to a single organization, institution, or individual. “Specialty Crops” that are eligible under this program are fruits and vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits and horticulture and nursery crops, including floriculture. The funds not passed through to Iowa organizations will be used by the Department to administer the grant. The 12 grant recipients are: Iowa Nursery and Landscape Association $12,350 to expanding educational programming for Iowa's green industry professionals through a webinar series and accompanying on-line modules Golden Hills Resource Conservation and Development - $18,343 for building capacity for southwest Iowa local food producers to increase specialty crop competitiveness in the region Iowa State University (Dr. Gleason) - $23,784 for virtual field days to develop web-based resources to enhance competitiveness of Iowa fruit and vegetable growers
Iowa State University (Erin Hodgson) - $22,170 to support improving detection and management strategies for insects in Iowa grapes Iowa State University (Dr. Randall) - $23,805 for research on bio fumigation potential to promote woods grown American ginseng Iowa State University (Dr. Randall) - $20,077 to establishing standards for the fertilization of fir trees to assist Iowa Christmas tree growers Iowa Food Systems Council - $23,475 to study the feasibility of fruit and vegetable value-added processing in Iowa's congregate meal site kitchens Iowa Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association $4,000 for expanding Iowa's fruit and vegetable industry through grower education Southern Iowa Resource Conservation and Development - $24,000 for Farm to where you are: Creating and Enhancing Markets for Southern Iowa Specialty Crop Producers Iowa Nut Growers Association - $20,791 for Connecting Iowa Nut Growers: Past-Present-Future Iowa State University (Mark Honeyman) $12,700 for efforts to increase production of pear and peach with improved cultivars to increase profitability and consumption of Iowa specialty crops Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship - $55,054 to support connecting growers and schools through the Farm to School Program

CRP acres available to benefit grassland birds An estimated 3,300 acres is being accepted into the popular Conservation Reserve Program State Acres for Wildlife Enhancement (SAFE) (CP38) Gaining Ground for Wildlife project designed to restore native grasslands, wetlands and develop food plots where they will be most beneficial. “With such a limited number of acres available for the sign up, landowners should act soon if they want to get in,” said Todd Bogenschutz, upland wildlife research biologist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Landowners should visit their local Farm Service Agency (FSA) office or contact the Iowa DNR wildlife bureau for detailed information. Contact the Farm Service Agency to enroll. The rental rate payment schedule is based on maximum soil rental rate established for the three predominant soils. Contracts run 10 to 15 years. The standard FSA 50 percent cost share, 40 percent practice incentive payment to establish the practice, and a signing incentive payment of $100 per enrolled acre are authorized for eligible contracts. Iowa's SAFE is targeted around our public wildlife areas to benefit grassland birds both songbirds, and upland game birds. Land that is eligible was cropped or considered cropped four out of the six years from 2002 to 2007. Eligible cropland includes row crops, small grains and forage crops. Targeted portions of all Iowa counties, except Allamakee and Clayton, are eligible to participate. More information is available at www.fsa.usda.gov.

CRP advocates concerned about federal cuts by David Hendee, Omaha World-Herald News Service Much is at stake as Congress debates reductions in federal spending that put hunting land under the gun Hunters across the Midwest have had a taste of the good old days during the past 25 years. Habitat on millions of acres of farmland by the voluntary federal Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), which pays farmers to take marginal land out of production and return it to grassland, created habitat for ring-necked pheasants, quail, ducks, deer and wild turkeys. Despite tough weather from drought in Kansas to hard winters in the Dakotas this year, millions of ringnecks can still be flushed from the grasslands, fence rows and field edges in pheasant country this fall thanks to landowners who enrolled acres in the CPR years ago. But that habitat is under attack as Congress debates reductions in federal spending to balance the nation's budget. The integrity of CRP and its quarter-century history of growing rural economies, creating wildlife and protecting water is the number one concern of habitat organizations such as Pheasants Forever and Ducks Unlimited. "We're trying to celebrate what historically has been the U.S. Agriculture Department's most successful conservation program while it's still here," said Pheasant Forever's lobbyist Dave Nomsen of Garfield, Minnesota. "But we've got a great story to tell, and we're not going to give up without a heck of a fight." The firing line is not in the hunting fields across America but in Washington, D.C. Congress is debating reductions in federal spending to balance the nation's budget. Conservation and wildlife programs are a sliver of the federal budget, but early indications suggest conservation is taking it on the chin in budget talks. Conservation organizations say they should share in the nation's belt-tightening, but not bear the brunt of
congressional budget cuts. "It's important these cuts be made with a clear view of today and tomorrow's ledger," said Howard Vincent, president of Pheasants Forever. The CRP is the single biggest source of wildlife habitat across America's prairies, but it's not an issue for hunters alone, Vincent said. Examples given of other CRP benefits were: "Local economies: millions of hunters pump dollars in cafes, gas stations and hotels throughout the fall. The hunting industry creates tens of thousands of jobs across America. In South Dakota alone, CRP is the foundation of a $250 million dollar annual pheasanthunting industry. "Wildlife: pheasant numbers follow the path of CRP acres as closely as any species of wildlife. Five million fewer CRP acres exist this year than four years ago. During the next two years, federal contracts on 14 million acres of CRP habitat expire. Pheasant numbers have dropped by 50 percent or more across much of the pheasant range in recent years. "Water quality: CRP reduces nitrogen and phosphorous runoff into waterways, and buffers pesticides and herbicides from entering streams and rivers. "Flood prevention: CRP acres hold water during times of spring melts and heavy rains. "Soil erosion: since 1986, CRP has stopped more than 8 billion tons of soils from eroding off the land. Nebraska has about 1 million acres of land enrolled in CRP. Iowa has about 1.6 million acres. Vincent has asked pheasant hunters and others to fire an email to their U.S. senators and representatives in support of CRP, before they fire a shot in the field this month. Nomsen said that all federal spending will be hammered as the nation addresses its debt. "The challenge we've got is to hang on to some of the very successful programs so that at some point in time we can come back and build upon them once again," he said. "There's an awful lot at stake."

A movement for positive change
Iowa 4-H Center invites applicants for Extreme Iowa youth Cabin Makeovers Eight 4-H clubs participated in the Extreme Cabin Makeovers last spring, and now the Iowa 4-H Center is looking for more clubs to renovate cabins in a different village. The 2010-2011 Extreme Cabin Makeover was such as success that we are inviting 4-H clubs, youth and/or adult groups, corporate groups and families to join in helping the Iowa 4-H Center with a second season of Extreme Cabin Makeovers,” said 4-H Center Program Specialist Abbie Parker. “With the help of these clubs, we are able to provide the attention and renovation that our cabins need.” Parker encourages all types of clubs to apply to make over a cabin. Clubs will have the opportunity to design, implement and have fun with cabin improvements. According to Parker, the exact village has not been chosen yet as the center is waiting to see how many clubs sign up. Applications for the 2012 Extreme Cabin Makeover are due November 1. For applications and more information, contact Abbie Parker at 515-7953338.
are invited to join the 4-H Revolution of Responsibility
Youth in grade four through 12 can discover more about 4-H online at www.extension.iastate.ed u/4h/ or contact their Iowa State University Extension and Outreach county office. The 4-H Revolution of Responsibility is a national 4-H slogan, explained
Shelly Greving, marketing director with ISU Extension 4-H Youth Development. “4-H is a movement for positive change in every Iowa community and throughout American,” she stated. “4-H youth are a living, breathing, culture-changing revolution for doing the right thing, breaking through obstacles and pushing our country forward by making a measurable difference right where they live.” One in five Iowa schoolaged youth participates in ISU Extension 4-H Youth
Development programs, headquartered at the Iowa State University campus in Ames and available through ISU Extension and Outreach offices in all Iowa counties. In 4-H, youth build leadership, citizenship, communication and life skills, and they learn by doing, whether through 4-H clubs, special interest groups, school enrichment or other 4-H programs. “Children and youth learn best when they can ‘do’ – this is experimental education,” Greving stated. “4-H clubs can be gen-
eral interest or focus on specific topics such as robotics, photography, gardening, clothing, shooting sports, food and nutrition, or just about any topic that interests kids and teens.” The 4-H program is growing throughout Iowa, Greving said. Several counties were recognized for the growth in their local 4-H programs at the state 4-H youth development staff meeting in Ames earlier this month. Over the past three years, Chickasaw and West Pottawattamie counties each saw a 21 percent
increase in the number of youth participating in 4-H programs. Johnson County had a 28 percent increase, while Dickinson County’s 4-H enrollment increased 82 percent. The top 10 counties that grew their 4-H program this past year were Bremer, Dallas, Decatur, Dickinson, Guthrie, Lyon, Mahaska, Webster, West Pottawattamie and Winnebago. Seventy-nine counties have seen growth in their 4-H programs during the past three years, Greving said.
Iowa youth get Wired for Wind Iowa youth had the opportunity to learn about wind energy with 4-H's 2011 National Science Project, Wired for Wind. Young people across the country engaged in the engineering design process of renewable wind energy technology on Wednesday, October 5, as part of the national experiment. Wired for Wind offers youth a look at renewable energy technologies by focusing on renewable energy and engineering design. The hands-on experiment teaches young peo-
ple important lessons about engineering design, physics and energy. “The Iowa State University Extension and Outreach 4-H Youth Development program program continues to provide youth in Iowa great opportunities to explore science, engineering and technology,” said Holly Bignall, with ISU Extension Science, Engineering and Technology (E-SET). “Wired for Wind gives youth the opportunity to learn about the exciting technology of wind power, and just as important, to learn about the
engineering design process and experience the excitement and reward of discovery and innovation.” Several ISU Extension county offices bought Wired for Wind kits and gave them to teachers in their school districts. ISU Extension in Story County used the Wired for Wind kit for three activities. “When I visited Ames, the students I worked with on Tuesday (October 4) were coming from various elementary schools, so they wouldn’t necessarily know all the other
participants,” said Story County 4-H Youth Coordinator Mary Wilkins. “They started working together right away on their wind turbines. This was an excellent opportunity for students to think critically and get to know one another. On October 4, Wilkins worked with 15 Ames third, fourth and fifth graders at an after-school event. On Wednesday, October 5, 4-H National Youth Science Day, Wilkins went to the Ames Public Library and worked on the kits with youth there.
On Thursday, October 6, ISU Extension in Story County hosted an open house at their office and used the kits there as a hands-on activity for kids. “There’s a real connection with Wired for Wind and Story County because we have wind farms in this county,” Wilkins said. “When I saw Wired for Wind, I immediately saw the relevance of the activity to our county, and to many other Iowa counties. We wanted to help students make the connection.”

ICA Hall of Fame nominations due November 1 Nominations for the Iowa Cattlemen's Association Hall of Fame award are due November 1. The award annually honors a person who has contributed a great deal of time and effort in promoting the beef and cattle industry of Iowa. Iowa has long occupied a dominant position in the cattle industry. As a leading state in number of cattle fed and in beef cow numbers, the Iowa cattle industry has relied upon the dedication and foresight of many people. The Hall of Fame award recognizes them for their role of keeping cattle production viable in Iowa. The award will be presented at the ICA Annual Convention, December 12 through 14 at The Meadows Event and Conference Center in Altoona. “We would encourage ICA members to consider nominating anyone their county has recognized in the past three to five years,” said Trent Wellman, ICA’s membership communications manager. “What better way to honor a valued member then
to nominate them for the ICA Hall of Fame?” The selection committee will consider the nominees’ overall contribution to the cattle and beef industry on the local, state and national levels through their career. Also, activities and leadership in other groups or organizations will also be reviewed. Besides the nomination form, also include any photographs, newspaper clippings, letters of recommendation and other materials to support the nomination. Nominations from the past three years that were not selected are still in contention so they would not need to be nominated again. Nomination forms can be found on the ICA website, www.iacattlement.org; look under the Membership drop-down menu and click on Awards. Nomination forms can also be mailed out by calling the ICA offices at 515-296-2266. The most recent Hall of Fame recipient was Daryl Strohbehn of Boone.

ICA’s annual convention set for December 12-14 The Iowa Cattlemen’s Association (ICA) will conduct its annual convention Monday through Wednesday, December 12 through 14, at The Meadows Event & Conference Center in Altoona. The conference center is part of Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino. “The theme of this meeting is ‘What’s in Your Cards?’ and we are going to show our members and other attendees options they can play as ICA meets its mission to ‘Grow Iowa’s beef business through advocacy, leadership and education’,” said ICA President Ross Havens of Wiota. On Monday, December 12, a pre-convention event will include a Cattlemen’s College hosted by Pfizer Animal Health and will cover feed yard health and management issues. A feed yard tour of three farms in Story County will take place after the Cattlemen’s College to look at the various building options. The tour will include facilities with a hoop building; a modified hoop, or non-confined hoop with an open lot; and a monoslope and AT (alternative technology) system. The evening of the pre-convention event will include a presentation about the economics of feed yard production in buildings, along with a producer panel. The ICA Annual Convention will include several educational sessions, beginning at 10 a.m. Other activities that day include a trade show, awards luncheon, policy committee meetings. Early registration for the ICA Annual Convention will save attendees $35 per person. Registration will be $115 for those who register by November 28; after that the cost rises to $150. Registration fees includes four meals, the trade show,and all educational sessions. The pre-convention event is free of charge, but registration is required so meal numbers can be properly anticipated. Individuals can register for the conference at the ICA website, www.iacattlemen.org, or with the registration form included in the October, November and December issues of the Iowa Cattleman magazine.
