Farmers in western Iowa have had to harvest between days of rainfall and drying weather. Yields throughout western Iowa have been variable. High-yielding fields were planted under favorable conditions and weathered a dry growing season in good condition. Photo by Bruce A. Binning
Reports show harvest behind but yields satisfactory in some areas
by Greg Forbes The crop season is near the end as harvest efforts are in full force throughout Iowa. Harvest may come as a welcome sight to many as inclement weather wreaked havoc on operations from beginning to end, with snow in May and heavy windstorms in early October. Weather affected parts of Iowa differently. Some regions received far too much rain in the spring while others received hardly any during the summer months. Field agronomists with Iowa State University Extension took time to fill out questionnaires for The Iowa Farm and Ranch in order to illustrate harvest progression and the weather’s effect on
“The tale that is you plant between rains, you’ll harvest between rains has definitely been true this year.” ~ ISU Extension Field Agronomist Mark Licht
yields in western Iowa. Following are the questions and their answers: How is the harvest progressing? Mark Licht, service area in central Iowa including Carroll, Guthrie, Greene, Dallas
and Boone counties: Licht said soybean harvest in his area is nearly complete as farmers pushed to remove soybeans from fields prior to forecasted rainfall. He added, “Corn harvest is progressing slowly between rains but generally
speaking, I’d say central Iowa is about 60 percent complete.” Clarke McGrath, service area in west central Iowa: McGrath also said soybean harvest is all but finished and corn is between 60 to 70 percent harvested. “We’d be further along but the wet grain and drying challenges have bottlenecked things quite a bit,” he explained. Joel DeJong, service area in northwest Iowa including Lyon, Sioux, Woodbury and Cherokee counties: DeJong estimated corn to be 50 percent harvested in his area. HARVEST, Page 14A

December 1 new seeding deadline for winter hardy cover crops Extended due to field conditions, requests from Iowa farmers
Due to field conditions and requests from Iowa farmers, USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is further extending its deadline for seeding winter hardy cover crops to December 1. “The extension applies to winter hardy cover crops, like winter rye, winter triticale and winter wheat, where the primary purpose for the practice is erosion control,” said Barb Stewart, NRCS
state agronomist. “To be eligible for federal financial assistance, the cover crop needs to be no-till drilled into the existing crop residue.” The extension also applies to statefunded cover crops, such as those funded through the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy. Along with erosion control benefits, Jim Gillespie, division director for the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship-Division of Soil Conservation, said winter hardy cover crops will help keep phosphorus that may be attached to the soil out of nearby water bodies. “We can benefit by keeping the
soil protected and also protecting the water,” said Gillespie. Farmers have also asked about using fall tillage to terminate prevented planted cover crops. “If the prevented planting cover crop was planted using state or federal funding, tillage is not allowed this fall,” said Stewart. “If financial assistance was not received, NRCS still does not recommend tillage to destroy cover crops this fall because of the increased erosion risk.” For more information about cover crops, erosion control and other conservation issues, contact your local NRCS office.
Women Managing Cattle program offered in November Iowa State University Extension and Outreach will offer a series of sessions, Women Managing Cattle, from 6 to 9 p.m. on November 12, 19 and 26, at the Coon Rapids Public Library basement, 123 Third Avenue South. The cost is $50, which includes meals and support materials. For questions or to register by phone, call 712-792-2364. Registrations are due November 11. Women Managing Cattle gives farm women an opportunity to interact with others who face the same challenges in bringing cattle to market. Sessions will provide education and support materials for costs of production, marketing alternatives, pasture management, and pasture watering options.

Four rural electric cooperatives file appeal with FEMA Ask for reversal of decision to deny federal disaster aid Lyon Rural Electric Cooperative, Iowa Lakes Electric Cooperative, Osceola Rural Electric Cooperative and Sanborn Municipal Utilities have filed a formal appeal with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) asking that the agency reverse their decision to deny federal disaster aid to Iowa following devastating storms, a decision that could also force the repayment of millions in previously awarded aid. “Our top priority is providing member-consumers in rural Iowa with reliable and affordable power. In order to do that, it’s important that FEMA honor its commitment and their well-established practices,” said Marion Denger, president of the Iowa Association of Electric Cooperatives. “During the appeal process we will continue to make a strong case showing this decision is an unprecedented reversal of FEMA’s disaster aid policy. With winter storm season approaching, it’s vital that we resolve this issue and give our members the assurance that the federal government will follow their established policy.” Following a late winter snow, ice and wind storm
in April, a federally declared Major Disaster included Lyon, Osceola, Dickinson, Sioux and O’Brien counties. Three of Iowa’s electric cooperatives, a generation and transmission cooperative and one municipal utility suffered damage. In response to past disaster-related damage, FEMA has followed a policy where visually observable criteria were used to determine if power lines had been damaged beyond the point of repair. FEMA reversed this long-standing policy and denied disaster aid applications following the April storm. For the first time in the nation, FEMA has stated that disaster aid could not be issued because the affected electric utilities did not conduct comprehensive laboratory testing on every mile of wire on an annual basis. This test is not performed as a matter of industry practice or required to meet any industry or engineering standard. It is also not required by the Iowa Utilities Board, which regulates Iowa’s electric utilities and required them to submit reliability plans and inspection and maintenance plans.

coalition of Iowa agriculture, business, and utility organizations had previously requested that FEMA meet with the utilities to discuss the disaster aid denial. Additionally, the governor’s office and the Iowa Department of Homeland Security have raised questions about the agency’s decision. “The commitment of such a broad group of elected officials and organizations underscores the importance of reversing this decision. It’s the right thing to do for rural Iowa and our member-consumers across the state,” added Denger. In an article published in the September 24 Denison Bulletin, Jeff Bean, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Western Iowa Power Cooperative (WIPCO), explained the criteria required by FEMA is testing of three, 20 feet splices of wire per mile throughout the system. He said the cost of the testing was estimated at approximately $20 million per year for Western Iowa Power Cooperative alone. Bean also said that if cooperatives are forced to expend the money on tests demanded by FEMA criteria, the burden will be felt by its members.

The Preheater plugs into any 120 or 240 volt outlet and consists of a thin silicone fiberglass pad containing a metal grid.

October’s rainfall a little above normal More rainfall needed to reduce drought conditions October had slightly above normal rainfall - 2.79 inches compared to normal October precipitation of 2.61 inches. However, more months of consistently above normal rainfall are needed to reduce drought conditions before the 2014 growing season, according to the October water summary issued on November 1. The most significant groundwater concerns are in a band through the middle of the state with the driest areas in Boone, Calhoun and Webster counties. The low-
est streamflow conditions are in the Skunk and Chariton River watersheds. For a more thorough review of Iowa’s water resource trends from October 1 to 31, go to http://www.iowadnr.gov/watersummaryupdate. The report is prepared by the technical staff from the Iowa DNR, the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, and the USGS, in collaboration with the Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division.

HARVEST, from Page 1A Note: According to the Iowa Department of Agriculture’s monthly crop report released November 4, 75 percent of Iowa’s corn has been harvested and 95 percent of soybeans had been harvested, both ahead of schedule compared to normal this time of year. How does the current progression compare to “normalâ€? years? Licht: “The tale that is you plant between rains, you’ll harvest between rains has definitely been true this year. The planting season was drawn out to four to eight weeks longer than normal and harvest is being drawn out as well.â€? He added that despite the delay in the growing season, the crop was able to mature as the killing frost arrived later than normal. McGrath: The end of November is usually the goal for the conclusion of harvest in order to begin fall tillage and NH3 applications. “So we are a week or two behind schedule right now, depending on what the rainfall does next week,â€? he said. DeJong: Farmers will benefit from good weather and can expect to be close to normal should the weather cooperate. “We are a little behind what would be considered normal on the corn harvest,â€? he said. “With good weather, we should be okay.â€? Is harvest delayed in your area? If so, why and is it a concern? Licht: The harvest has been delayed in his area mostly due to the recent weather and because grain elevators and on-farm drying systems are having difficulty keeping up with the demand for grain drying. “This just says we have a wetter crop this year than previous years and farmers have a tremendous capacity to work quickly,â€? he said. He added that the delay in harvest was not a concern as long as crops are out of the fields before the first significant and lasting snow falls. McGrath: The harvest was delayed by both the late planting season and recent weather. Some areas, such as northwest Crawford County received little rainfall whereas areas around Harlan received accumulation of an inch or more, which inhibited harvest. McGrath listed the following as concerns of a late harvest season: • Will crops be removed before rain, snow, ice, wind and other weather issues damage crops?
Giant Rubber Water Tanks The only Lifetime Guaranteed, Insulated Stock Tank
• Will farmers have enough time to get any fall field work done such as soil sampling, dry fertilizer application and ditch repair? DeJong: Crops in DeJong’s area were planted only slightly later than normal but conditions following planting led to delayed maturity and drying. “Our crop, even with early planting, was a little later than normal maturing and since October was rather cool, our dry down after maturity has been slow,â€? he said. “We could use more sunny, dry days.â€? What are you seeing from early harvest reports and how do they compare to planting expectations as well as recent forecasts? Licht: “Corn and soybean yields are the most variable that I have ever seen.â€? In his area, whole field corn yields have ranged from 25 bushels an acre to 210 bushels an acre with soybeans ranging from 20 bushels an acre to 60 bushels an acre. “Having said this, I generally am hearing that farmers are being pleasantly surprised with corn yields,â€? he said. “Soybean yields are about what was expected.â€? He added that forecasts at planting time are usually tough to predict. “I won’t say yield reports are falling short of planting season expectations because yield estimates at planting are just a shot in the dark because of the complications of the growing season to come,â€? he said. “But the planting season really did set a tone. Throughout the summer, I repeatedly heard farmers say they didn’t want to spend more on a crop that was not going to perform.â€? McGrath: Yields in some fields have fluctuated due to the drought, wind storms and even hail damage. “Some of those fields had beans yielding in the upper 20s (bushels per acre) into the mid 30s and corn in the 120 to 140 range,â€? he said. Other producers in his area, however, reported soybeans in excess of 60 bushels per acre and corn at more than 200 bushels per acre. “It was just a function of getting a decent planting window,â€? he said. He said farmers in his region as a whole are experiencing positive yields and expects them to exceed Iowa forecasts. DeJong: Corn yields in his area typically range from 175 bushels per acre to as high as 215. “There are areas and fields above that, and a few below that,â€? he said. He added that recent yield reports have been ahead of forecasts and yields as a whole are faring far better than planting expectations. “Most of the counties I serve are probably going to

average out as one of the better crops,� he said. How do early numbers compare to last year? Licht: “Early numbers are much more variable than last year.� Licht credited the variability to the planting conditions as well as the cool wet spring that transitioned to a dry, hot summer. “Because of that, yields are slightly less than last year,� he said. McGrath: Variability is common in his area, too. “It seems like corn and soybeans are better than last year for the most part, with some guys missing showers and seeing similar or lower yields (than last year) unfortunately.� DeJong: “We are somewhat better in neighborhoods to a lot better in some that were hit harder by drought last year,� he said. When do you expect harvest to conclude? Licht: “Weather permitting, harvest will be completed or near completion during the first week of November, maybe into the second week.� McGrath: “Hopefully most guys will wrap up in the next 10 days or so. We’d probably be done sooner if it stayed dry but wet corn and drying and transportation issues are slowing things down for a lot of guys.� DeJong: “It all depends on the weather. If good for an extended period, one good week would get us close. Two would be better.� Due to the summer drought, is precipitation important now? Licht: Fields in his area would benefit greatly from precipitation due to the drought, especially if it falls before temperatures drop below freezing for the winter. “Another four to six inches of a gentle rainfall before the soils freeze would be beneficial but at the same point, it would be ideal if that would happen after harvest has wrapped up,� he said. Licht added that ideally, precipitation would fall after harvest is complete. McGrath: He would like to see precipitation wait until after harvest, however moisture is necessary to recharge depleted moisture levels. “While the deficit varies a lot around the area, a guess would be that to get our soils back to full capacity for next season, we’ll need another three to six inches of precipitation,� he said. DeJong: Precipitation isn’t a concern now, “But before the crops need it by next June, some replenishment would be great.�

A farm bill in 2013? Iowa’s conferees tell what it will take
by Gordon Wolf Two of Iowa’s elected officials, Congressman Steve King (R-4th District) and Senator Tom Harkin (Democrat) are among the panel of 41 conferees working to reconcile differences between the House and Senate versions of the farm bill. Senator Harkin indicated the burden for reconciling differences and quickly passing a bill falls on the House Republicans, who, he said, need to move from their position of “slashing modest nutrition assistance.” Congressman King said differences between the House and Senate farm bills in the proposed reduction to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will be the biggest issue. The current farm bill – the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 – was enacted to be in effect through 2012, when the House and Senate were to craft another five-year farm bill. But that didn’t happen, and most of the provisions of the 2008 farm bill were extended through the end of the 2013 fiscal year, crop year, or calendar year, by virtue of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (ATRA). The nutrition program (SNAP), formerly referred to as food stamps, makes up 75 percent of the total budget for the farm bill, according to the USDA’s “SNAP to Health” website (http://www.snaptohealth.org/farm-bill-usda/ snap-in-the-farm-bill/). The nutrition program is one of 15 titles included in the farm bill. The U.S. Senate passed its version of the farm bill in June. The House version, passed in July, was an agriculture-only program that excluded SNAP, which was addressed later by the House. No Democrats voted for the House version of the agriculture-only bill. The nutrition program has been a part of the farm bill since the early 1970s. The House wants to cut $39 billion over 10 years from the projected 10-year $800 billion spending for the nutrition program. The Senate, which is led by Democrats, wants to cut $4.5 billion over 10 years. Senator Harkin’s viewpoints In response to questions emailed from Iowa Farm and Ranch, Senator Harkin provided the following viewpoints on what it will take to pass a farm bill before the end of 2013. Senator Harkin is a senior member and former chairman of the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry. This is the eighth farm bill he has worked on since coming to Congress in 1975. He chaired the committee during passage of the 2002 and 2008 bills. Senator Harkin wrote, “I hope that the Senate-House conference committee on the farm bill sparks the discussion needed to find bipartisan consensus for a new farm bill. “There is no denying the differences between the two bills - particularly in the House’s extreme cuts to nutrition assistance - but there are key reasons why a new bill is needed. In particular: - “A new bill would devote funding to several programs whose funding from the 2008 farm bill has run out. These are progressive, forward-looking initiatives supporting rural energy, conservation, local foods, rural development, beginning farmers, and fruit and vegetable initiatives to name just a few. - “A new farm bill would enact reforms - most notably in ending the direct payments program and replacing them with a stronger system of farm income protection. Our Senate bill adopts a revenue-based income protection system based on the Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program in the 2008 bill. Both the Senate and House bills also strengthen the crop insurance protection farmers can obtain for the premium dollars they pay. - “And a new farm bill is important because the lack of one perpetuates a high level of uncertainty in the agriculture sector and in the local economies where agriculture is so important. One of the uncertainties is that if a new farm bill is not completed, the direct payments might very well be terminated in some other spending measure, but with none of the savings applied to farm bill programs.”
He continued that to enact a new farm bill, it will be necessary for those who have been pushing the most extreme and harsh views to come to the table and be part of the solution. “Keep in mind, the instigators of the House’s radical moves are against farm programs, too, not just against nutrition assistance,” Senator Harkin wrote. “Bipartisan farm policy is within our reach. The burden is not on the Senate to produce a bipartisan bill - we have twice produced such a bill,” he said. “The question is whether House Republicans will continue to hold the farm bill hostage because of their focus on slashing modest nutrition assistance. If House Republicans can move from that position, we can come to an agreement relatively quickly.” Congressman King’s viewpoints Following the opening of the farm bill conference on October 30, work on resolving differences in the bill have been ongoing, said Congressman King in a phone interview with Iowa Farm and Ranch. He said a lot of the work now is staff-to-staff and members of the conference committee talking to each other. “The staff is working to remove as many contentious issues as possible,” he commented. He believes two to four big issues will remain for conferees to resolve. Of the largest issue, SNAP, Congressman King said the House and Senate versions of the farm bill are $36 billion apart in the amount of reductions. “That’s going to be the hardest one to resolve,” he said. He commented the quicker the least contentious issues can be resolved, the quicker the conferees can get to the balance of the issues. “It will shake down to two or three or four big issues as the end,” Congressman King said. “Hopefully we’ll look at this and say let logic and good policy prevail.” Congressman King said he is optimistic that a farm bill can be passed by the end of the year. “We’re all well aware that the extension (of the 2008 farm bill) expired on September 30,” he said. He continued that adding to the pressure to get a farm bill passed this year is the expiration of the milk price support. Some reports have said when the current milk price supports expire, it will cause supports to revert to the 1949 level and force the government to buy milk at higher-than-market prices, which will increase the price per gallon to consumers. “That’s how I understand the interpretation of the language,” said Congressman King. “We’ll see prices go up and the cost to the taxpayer. “It’s something we’re not going to let happen. That becomes the pressure to get this resolved. We can’t just kick the can into 2014,” he said. Addressing Country of Origin Labeling (COOL), Congressman King said he wants to see how prominent that issue becomes in the conference committee. “I think it will be one that is certainly open to discussion,” he said. Congressman King continued, “My own position is that we negotiated over COOL the last time (for the 2008 farm bill). This time it has been through the court and if it is going to affect the NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement), we’ll deal with COOL another way.” He added later that COOL regulations as revised by the USDA made the law more complicated. Congressman King also commented on his amendment, the Protect Interstate Commerce Amendment, more often referred to as the King Amendment. It is included in the House version of the farm bill. He said his amendment recognizes that states have attempted to regulate the production and manufacturing of agricultural products from other states. California is one state that has attempted this, he said. Congressman King said several years ago a referendum was passed in California that said any eggs produced in that state had to come from hens housed in cages of a size defined by the Human Society of the United States (HSUS). “That was fine and it didn’t trouble the rest of us,” he said. He said the California legislature was then pressured by the egg producers in California who saw they would be at a competitive disadvantage, so the legislature passed
a law that said all eggs sold in California had to be from hens housed in cages of the size specified in the earlier legislation. Congressman King said that legislation became a trade protection issue. “No state can control production in other states,” Congressman King said. “They are free to do it in their own state. It (the amendment) is a reassertion of the commerce clause in the U.S. Constitution.” Congressman King also commented on the following components of the farm bill: Direct payments: “We all agreed we will be eliminating them in the farm bill, by agreement of ag producers, the Farm Bureau, the corn and bean (organizations) and others (farm groups).” Crop insurance subsidies: “My position is producers need a good risk-management program, and at the heart of it is a good crop insurance program.” Background information from Senator Harkin’s staff Senator Harkin’s staff also provided answers to some specific questions about the farm bill posed by Iowa Farm and Ranch. Q: How important is the Dairy Security Act? A: It would be a significant reform of the dairy program designed to strengthen income protection. Q: Does COOL (Country of Origin Labeling) need to be repealed or revised, and how does this issue figure into the Farm Bill negotiations? A: Senator Harkin does not believe that COOL ought to be repealed or changed by Congress in the farm bill. He believes that USDA has enough leeway and flexibility under the current law to make COOL work and to meet international trade rules. Q: How do you balance a repeal or revision of COOL against consumer groups that believe COOL helps consumers make more informed decisions? A: That is a key point. COOL does help consumers make more informed decisions. If they prefer a U.S. product they are able to identify and purchase it. That is why Senator Harkin has long supported COOL, which he included in both the 2002 and 2008 farm bills, when he chaired the Senate Agriculture Committee. Q: Have you received any feedback from businesses and industries on COOL, and was the feedback favorable or unfavorable toward COOL? A: There are many strong supporters of COOL and there are also opponents. Senator Harkin has heard from both sides, but has received many more expressions of support for COOL and for rejecting attempts to repeal or negate it. Q: Can you comment on what you believe will be done and should be done with the following components of the farm bill: The milk price support? Would it really expire, causing supports to revert to the 1949 level and force the government to buy milk at higher than market price, which will increase the price per gallon at the supermarket? A: If a new farm bill is enacted, there would be no worries about returning to the high support price in permanent agricultural law. The dairy program in the new farm bill would supersede and suspend the operation of permanent law. The Livestock Indemnity Program A: It should be reinstated and extended for the full length of the new farm bill. Direct payments A: The direct payments should be terminated and replaced with a more effective and responsible system of farm income protection that takes into account the fluctuations in farm commodity prices, production, and farm income. The direct payments were too little when farmers truly needed help yet very hard to defend when prices, production, and farm income were good. Crop insurance subsidies A: Senator Harkin has long supported the federal crop insurance program, and it has a solid record of success. Any program ought to be reviewed to see if and how it might be improved. In this farm bill, it is important to reinstate requirements for conservation of soil and wetlands as a condition of receiving federal crop insurance premium subsidies. The vast majority of farmers are already meeting these requirements anyway. It just seems reasonable and fair that farmers would meet conservation requirements as part of the arrangement that subsidizes crop insurance premiums and thus lowers their costs.

Powered by the sun
The Alan and Maureen Jensen farm recently turned to two rows of solar panels to provide a cleaner, more affordable source of energy.

Exira farming operation utilizes solar power by Greg Forbes Soaking up the sun’s rays is a year round event for one Iowa farm. When electricity bills on their farm in Exira started costing Alan and Maureen Jensen more than $1,000 a month, they knew the time had come to find an alternate power source. “We were trying to figure out some way we could reduce the cost of power,” said Alan. “We use a lot of electricity and the rates kept going up and up.” Alan and Maureen considered their options. First was a wind turbine, but price and labor discouraged the Jensens from that investment. “They are expensive. We would need several to get enough power,” Alan said. “And they are way up in the air and need maintenance.” The Jensens needed an energy source that was cheaper, reliable and could power the operation that consists of approximately 2,400 crop aces and 9,000 head of pigs. Enter solar energy.
“It’s a win-win if you use a lot of power.” ~ Exira farmer Alan Jensen, commenting on the solar energy system that powers his entire farm.
The Jensens opted for two rows with 169 solar panels that sit just four inches off the ground. The system was installed by Wind and Solar Specialists, a division of Anemometry Specialists of Alta. In order to qualify for the tax credit and depreciation by the end of the fiscal year, the solar grid had to be installed and operating by June 1. In that short time, Alan said the Jensen farm has experienced a significant
change in energy efficiency. “We’re producing more than we are using,” he said. He added that until about three years ago, wind energy was the cheapest source of green power and solar energy technology was far too expensive. However, solar energy has become more practical in recent years. In just four months, Alan predicted that the grid has produced more than 22,000 kilowatt hours. The Jensen operation uses, on average, more than 4,000 kilowatt hours per month. “We’re ahead of schedule from what the company has predicted,” Alan explained. The energy the farm produces but does not use is stored in the Nishnabotna Valley REC grid and can be withdrawn as the farm needs. Alan said the built-up energy will come in handy shortly, as he expects the operation’s energy expenditure to increase substantially following harvest. SOLAR, Page 3B
Ribbon cutting ceremony for renewable energy system near Dow City The green energy movement in agriculture is picking up steam. In November, Wind and Solar Specialists, a division of Anemometry Specialists in Alta, is hosting a ribbon cutting ceremony for a recently installed wind turbine and solar array near Dow City at the Dan and Carla Head farmstead. The open house is scheduled for Tuesday, November 19, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at the Head property at 1630 Q Avenue in Dow City. During the event, representatives of Wind and Solar Specialists will recognize Dan and Carla for their investment in renewable energy and explain and answer questions in regards to the new system.

SOLAR, from Page 1B “Going into grain drying season, we’re expecting to use some of the credits because those fans tend to take a lot of power,” he said. “They will run 24 hours a day.” A wireless transmitter provides the Jensens with an accurate, regular reading on how much power they are producing as well as using. “We can see how much power we produce today, how much we produced last month and can even look over total years,” Alan said. Although they do not produce power at night, the solar panels operate 24 hours a day and even function on cloudy days, though not as much when conditions are clear. The grid produces electricity for virtually everything on the farm. ”It powers the whole farm including the house,” Alan said. “The hog houses, the fans, our house and whatever we have in the house…the grain bin. Everything.” Aside from energy savings and increased efficiency, Alan said the solar panels leave no physical impact on his land or the air. “It’s a green technology,” he said. “There is absolutely no pollution to it.” He continued that the panels were installed simply with eight inch diameter poles that screw into the ground. If need be, the Jensens can easily remove the panels and farm on the land. “We didn’t ruin anything with concrete footings or anything like that,” he said. Alan said he believed solar technology has not caught on due to the cost, as some systems may carry a price tag of hundreds of thousands of dollars. But Alan has seen a growth in use recently as systems have become more practical in part to incentives offered to those who

install solar panels. “There are great tax incentives,” he said. “There are also grants you can apply for. That’s what makes it affordable. It’s a win-win if you use a lot of power.” He added that he encouraged farmers who have a similar energy output as his operation to consider the technology. “If you’re using a lot of electricity, just
try it,” he said. Alan explained he had never considered himself one to jump at new technology. As precision agriculture evolved, he was generally one to gauge its practicality before jumping at new equipment. “When it came to precision technology with the tractors and combines and all that, I let my neighbors try that for a few
years before I would,” he said. But new technologies in energy savings and renewable energy appealed to Alan’s curiosity. “I’ve been studying renewable energy for quite a few years by researching wind turbines and solar power,” he said. “I’ve been researching it for quite some time now.”

Taxable value on ag property decreases in this year’s rollback The taxable value for agricultural property in this year’s Assessment Limitations Order, or rollback, issued by the Iowa Department of Revenue, is 43.3997 percent of the assessed value, a decrease from the 2012 level of 59.9334 percent. The rollback, issued on November 1, adjusts the property values used by local governments to compute property taxes for agricultural, residential, commercial, and industrial property. While the department issues an Assessment Limitations Order each year, this year’s Order is notable in that it implements the first phase of Governor Terry Branstad’s 2013 Commercial Property Tax Reform package, 2013 Iowa Acts Senate File 295. Prior to the 2013 legislation, state law allowed no more than a four percent increase from year to year in the taxable values for agricultural, residential, commercial, and industrial property classifications. Effective with the 2013 Assessment Limitations Order, the increase in taxable values for the agricultural and residential property classifications is limited to three percent. Additionally, the 2013 law removed the assessment limitation for commercial, industrial, and railroad properties and replaced it with a five percent reduction in the taxable value, from 100 percent to 95 percent. In 2014, the taxable value will be reduced another five percent, from 95 percent to 90 percent. The rollback set the other taxable values: • The taxable value for residential property is 54.4002% of the assessed value. This is an increase from the 2012 level of 52.8166 %. Residential property includes farm dwellings. • The taxable value for commercial, industrial and railroad properties is 95% of the assessed value. This is a decrease from the 2012 level of 100%. • No adjustment was ordered for utility property because its assessed value did not increase enough to qualify for reduction. Utility property is limited to an 8% annual growth. County auditors will apply the adjustments to each property classification to compute the taxable values used to establish property taxes. Tax liabilities based on the 2013 taxable values are payable in fiscal year 201415 and will not be determined until local taxing bodies establish their property tax needs early next year. Additional information about the property tax rollback is available on the department’s website at: http://www. state.ia.us/tax/locgov/propequalroll.html.

Song and dance My dad forgot my momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday for 10 years in a row. In his defense after the 10th time, he said it fell at an inconvenient time of the year. He worked at a farm supply business and June 1st was a busy time of the year. In order to prevent the premature death of dad, my sisters and I called to remind him of momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday for the next few years. Now that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retired from the business, he does a pretty good job of remembering it on his own. He was touch and go for a few years, though. I feel sorry for all of the farm kids whose birthdays fall in the middle of planting and harvest seasons, the inconvenient times of the year for farmers. The little kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11th birthday is November 1st, which may or may not fall in the middle of harvest. On one hand, I sometimes feel he gets the short end of the birthday candle, but on the other hand he understands the crops need to come out, too. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family birthday party for him was at the farm so my husband was able to harvest until lunch, then come in for a couple hours while we ate lunch, had cake, and opened pres-
ents. Then he was off to farm again while we played more games with the kids, and they had some cousin time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fine line that farm families walk between making sure the work gets done and still allowing the farm kids to be able to have the same life experiences as other kids. Luckily, farming is more advanced now than when my dad was a kid. Now during football season, he laments that he always wanted to play football but had to be in the fields instead. He watched the football lights go on and off in the distance while he was in the field harvesting. And he walked for miles to school in the snow uphill, both ways. With the advancements in machinery, my boys are able to participate in all the school activities they can without having to worry about the farm work getting done. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so thankful they can have their feet in both worlds and have so many experiences as they grow up. By the way, important safety tip: when you have a small child who calls himself Father Nature and wants to be a veterinarian, do not purchase a piĂąata

first grade for a speaking part, but never seemed to make it. Every year he came home disappointed. This year he was jumping up and down with excitement. He only made it two steps into the house before yelling that he was Santa to his brother and dad. Yeah, he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to Disneylandâ&#x20AC;? happy! (Note to kids: We are not planning a trip to Disneyland. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an expression.) My oldest son has been consumed by the high school musical. Besides rehearsals almost every night until 10 p.m., heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been
going in on Saturdays to work on the set. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s constructed a door, a wood toilet, a rolling ladder, and other things. This weekend the show finally goes on, and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait! My husband and I have tickets for both days. I know from being in high school musicals and plays, the show will be a bit different from night to night. Plus, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to miss a moment of my kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives. We only get 18 years before theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re off to college. Show choir practices also started for the big kid last week, so heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been going to school at 7 a.m. three days each week We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen him very much lately. I see him in the morning when I wake him up, and at night when he comes in after musical practice. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the in-between times where the little kid and I miss him being home with us on the rare nights that we are actually home. Next week, the kids and I will actually get to eat supper all together at the same time! Luckily, all of the little kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rehearsals are in the morning before school. And his musical is during the first week in December, which isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t inconvenient at all!

in the shape of an animal. He was not happy when the monkey was being hit by the rest of the kids. He stayed inside the house. I will not be making that mistake again. Bad mom! The next piĂąata I purchase (if I ever recover enough to be willing to get another one) will be a ball, or a box, or anything but an animal. There were tears, people! Tears! During a birthday party. All was right in the end, though because my sister grabbed some duct tape and reassembled the monkey with a fashionable pair of purple shorts and gold shirt. The kid is now a happy camper. After everyone left mom and dad stayed a little extra, which was a bonus for us because we were able to move all the trucks, tractors, and combine to one of the far-away fields. With dad and my husband both driving, it took us half the time to move everything. Getting the farmer back in the field faster made for another happy camper in the family. Speaking of happy campers, the little one came home a few weeks ago to let us know that he had been cast as Santa in the fifth grade musical this year. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been trying out every year since

Research results available for five completed Leopold Center projects Includes IWCC Dream to Farm program Five research and demonstration projects funded by the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture have completed work and summaries of the findings are now available. Two of the five projects were in the Leopold Center’s Cross-Cutting Initiative and focused on energy. The University of Northern Iowa’s Center for Energy and Environmental Education reported that its four-year-old Farm Energy Working Group has nearly 200 members, hosts quarterly meetings and field days and has developed a popular website with resources for farmers including case studies of their members who are using alternative energy on their farms.
The other grant helped launch a team approach to develop local and renewable sources of fuel to burn in the University of Iowa power plant. The working group has considered industrial by-products such as oat hulls as well as timber stand improvement and dedicated energy crops like prairie grasses and miscanthus. The goal is to source these new fuels within 50 miles of Iowa City, and meet the University of Iowa’s goal of 40 percent renewable energy by 2020. In the Leopold Center’s Marketing and Food Systems Initiative, a grant to Iowa Western Community College in Council Bluffs supported a successful new Dream to Farm program, with a majority of its graduates entering the local food sector in southwest Iowa. Another project helped launch the Iowa Valley Food Coop, an online food buying club that serves Iowa City and Cedar Rapids in eastern Iowa. The group also produced
a guide for other groups to follow in setting up their own cooperative. In the Leopold Center Policy Initiative, a one-year grant funded in-depth interviews with farmers, farm services providers and other groups about the benefits of and barriers to widespread adoption of prairie conservation strips in Iowa. The project titles are: • Iowa Farm Energy Working Group • The University of Iowa Biomass Partnership Project • Micro-Farming: Reducing rural and urban food deserts through job training • Research and development of an online local foods buying club cooperative • Investigating opportunities for enhancing farmer adoption of a strategically targeted prairie strips in Iowa The project summaries and links to related sources are available at www.leopold.iastate.edu/news/results.

Official animal ID necessary for interstate exhibition As exhibitors and their families prepare for two upcoming national livestock shows, Chris Clark, beef specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, reminded everyone of the new USDA rule requiring official identification for all interstate commerce. “The final rule for animal disease traceability went into effect March 11, 2013. It requires official identification and an official certificate of veterinary inspection for nearly all livestock crossing state lines,” Clark said. “This includes all livestock, including cattle and bison less than 18 months of age, moving across state lines for exhibitions, rodeos, shows and similar events.” Generally, beef cattle and bison under 18 months of age are exempt and do not require official ID at this time, but Clark said this general exemption does not apply to livestock traveling for exhibition. “All cattle and bison traveling across state lines for exhibitions, rodeos and other recreational events require official ID, regardless of age,” he said. With the North American International Livestock Exhibition in Louisville, Kentucky, set for November 9 through 22, it is vital that those intending to exhibit at the show make sure they have all proper show and USDA required identification and other forms now. The same will be true for future regional and national livestock exhibitions like the Fort Worth Stock Show and the National Western Stock Show. Clark said official identification is spe-
cifically defined for each species and it is imperative that exhibitors and their families understand what constitutes official identification for the species they intend to exhibit. “On the Iowa Beef Center website, we’ve posted a summary of official identification information that includes resources to help explain the various acceptable forms of identification,” Clark said. “In addition, livestock owners should be aware that 4-H and FFA tags do not count as official identification.” The two-page animal disease traceability summary resource can be seen at www. iowabeefcenter.org/information/AnimalDiseaseTraceabilityInfo.pdf. Cattle and bison can be officially identified by brands or registration tattoos when this is agreed upon by the state of origin and the state of destination, Clark added. “In these situations, brands must be registered with brand inspection and accompanied by an official brand inspection certificate and registration tattoos must be accompanied by a certificate of breed registration,” he said. Because the USDA rule is separate from the show requirements for each individual show, show entry forms and catalogs may or may not describe this official identification as a requirement. But without official identification, it is very possible that an animal could be deemed ineligible for exhibition. Exhibitors should plan ahead and use all available resources to ensure compliance with the official ID requirements.

Cattle industry convention in December a mix of education, networking and policy work The 2013 Iowa Cattle Industry Convention, “Grab Reality by the Horns”, is a mix of education, social activities and, for those who are members of the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association, policy work on key issues. The convention will be December 9 through 11 at the Prairie Meadows Events Center in Altoona. “Although we topped 10,000 in our membership drive this past year, we know there are cattle producers in the state who are not ICA members,” said ICA CEO Matt Deppe. “We’re reaching out with an invitation to all Iowa cattle producers to come for a few days of education, inspiration and networking.” Deppe said the theme is a nod to the challenging weather and pricing issues
for all cattle producers this past year. “While cattle producers acknowledge regular challenges in their business, the convention in December will encourage them to grab those issues and bring them under control,” he said. December 9 A keynote speaker, CattleFax market analyst Lance Zimmerman, will talk about cattle and corn market outlooks and strategies, and how developments with both through the fall months will drive profit opportunities through next year. Other speakers at Cattlemen’s College will talk about cattle handling facilities and fencing, new feeding rules and pre-harvest technology, heifer development strategies, the use of
high density profile DNA for seedstock, Tyson Foods’ FarmCheck Program, the breeding herd health issue Trichomoniasis, and hedging and other market tools. The first day wraps up with a President’s Reception and entertainment by Iowa’s own Jason Brown Band. December 10 A second keynote speaker, Bob Fields, the senior director of meat and gourmet foods at Sam’s Club, will outline for the consumer view for producers. With more than 600 store locations world-wide, Sam’s Club stores are well-tuned to the interests of their customers, who also happen to be customers of Iowa’s beef cattle producers. Educational sessions will again cover all aspects of
cattle production in Iowa. A panel of cow-calf producers will talk about their pasture management, feeders can learn about a feedyard benchmark study and what information they can apply to their facility, and seedstock producers can learn about many different ways to market their genetics. Additionally, Stephen Koontz from Colorado State University will talk about alternative marketing methods and how they impact cash prices for cattle producers. And for those county cattlemen active in grilling activities, an educational session on SafeBeef will earn them a wallet card certificate. The evening will wrap with a trade show social with the more than 50 vendors registered for

Beef facilities conference November 21
Your helping hand in the field
Beef barns of all types are becoming more common place in the upper Midwest. “But, we are still learning a lot about these barns,” said Beth Doran, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach beef specialist. A one-day “Beef Facilities Conference” will be on November 21 to share current research findings and discuss building management and cattle performance. The conference, a cooperative effort of ISU Extension and Outreach, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension, South Dakota State University (SDSU), USDA Agricultural Research Service and the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture, will be at the Best Western Plus Ramkota Hotel and Conference Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. “The purpose of the conference is two-fold,” said Doran. “Morning sessions feature environmental research with these facilities; afternoon sessions focus on
building management and cattle performance.” The morning session includes results of the twoyear air emissions study in mono-slope barns, air quality regulations and how to capture, manage and use nutrients produced in beef barns. The two-year air emissions study looked at the emissions of gases and dust and is one of the first studies looking at air quality in these barns. Morning presenters are Erin Cortus, assistant professor at SDSU; Mindy Spiehs, research animal scientist at USDA, ARS, U.S. Meat Animal Research Center; Rick Stowell, associate professor at UNL; Kris Kohl, ISU Extension and Outreach ag engineering program specialist; and Angie Rieck-Hinz, extension program specialist at Iowa State. Afternoon sessions involve two panels – a producer panel discussing building management in different style barns and a university panel discussing cattle performance.

The university panel includes Robbi Pritchard, distinguished professor at SDSU; Dan Loy, director of the Iowa Beef Center at Iowa State; Shawn Shouse, ISU Extension and Outreach ag engineering program specialist; and Russ Euken, ISU Extension and Outreach livestock program specialist. The conference is tailored to feedlot producers, beef consultants, building contractors, engineers and consultants, state and federal agency staff, and extension and university professionals.
