Looking back on 2010 Farmers face blizzards, record precip and early crop maturity Winter storms blanket western Iowa
Farmers deal with rainy spring
High heat indices in summer
Fall weather ideal for an early harvest
by Emma Struve While most agricultural producers have tabulated the effects of 2010’s wet growing season, the onset of cold weather harkens back to 2009’s long-lived snow cover. State Climatologist Harry Hillaker, with the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, recalled that “this time last year there was a ridiculous amount of snow cover that persisted into March.” The 2010 year began in an unseasonably cold weather pattern with poor prospects for spring
planting. As of March 1 Carroll still had 14 inches of snow on the ground, Jefferson 15 inches, Sac City 10 inches, and Atlantic 12 inches. Beneath the snow were saturated soils, Hillaker added, from a wet fall in 2009. He said farmers were thinking, “Is the snow ever going to melt, and if it does are we ever going to be able to do any field work?” Fortunately, rain fell the second week in March, which caused the snow to melt more quickly even than warm air could have. This also harkened the beginning of a warmer than

normal trend that would continue for nine months. The final snow event of the season occurred on March 19. Following the final snow, Iowa entered a dry weather pattern that allowed for a “really fabulous planting season that no one would have guessed,” Hillaker stated. In fact, he continued, April tied with 1981 as the fifth warmest on record in 138 years. Additionally, very little severe weather was experienced during the spring. Continued on Page 31

Social connections key to reaching women farm owners Nearly half of Iowa farmland is owned by women, who also have strong attitudes toward conservation because of their concern for future generations. However, reaching women with the education and tools they need to more actively manage farm operations has been a difficult task for service providers and agency personnel. The key is social support, according to an evaluation of Women, Land and Legacy, an outreach project that has touched the lives of an estimated 1,500 women landowners in Iowa since it began in 2002. An evaluation of 17 locally-led programs across 28 counties in Iowa was conducted by Corry Bregendahl, an assistant scientist at the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, lead author of the report and a WLL state team member. Lois Wright Morton, Leopold Center interim director and Iowa State sociology professor, said women bring unique perspectives to agriculture. “Social support is essential to the risk management strategies that women use to understand and validate their experiences, gather information and gain confidence. Our work with women landowners needs to strengthen the connections women have to each other, the land, their families, and the providers of resources that are available to them,” she said. The core of WLL is the local planning or coordinating team. Twenty-three teams covering 37 Iowa counties work with local leaders to host listening sessions with women farmland owners about their vision and goals for the land. These listening sessions then are used to develop facilitated learning sessions on topics identified as important to the women in each county or county cluster. The local planning teams are led by local women in cooperation with
“anchor partners” from the local USDA Farm Service Agency, Natural Resources Conservation Service, and ISU Extension offices. Evaluations were conducted in 2009 using surveys returned by 300 participants and local planning team members, and telephone interviews with service providers and agency personnel. The evaluation found monumental changes in attitude – by the women who participated in the learning sessions as well as the local agency service providers who worked with them. Many of the women said they began to view service providers with less hostility when they were able to establish trust and relationships with them. Local agency personnel said that they, too, felt more comfortable and open to serving women. After hosting a WLL program in their area, they reported seeing more office contacts with women associated with farming, more involvement of young women in food production, and a greater overall local interest among women in agriculture. WLL programs also empowered women in their farm’s management. Participants reported initiating conversations with families and consulting attorneys and financial planners to establish or update estate plans, draft or revise land contracts, create trusts and prepare wills and farm plans. In the process, participants said they gained confidence about their ability to make good decisions and navigate the local social landscape to help them in these efforts. NRCS state conservationist Richard Sims said he is pleased with the evaluation and that it’s another example of how “knowledge is power.” “Women play a very important role in directing the conservation stewardship on their own

land and they are change agents of future conservation stewardship activities on Iowa farmland,” Sims stated. “The survey results will be used by many people to provide the kind of information women landowners need to make sound and informed decisions.” A secondary benefit of WLL programs was the confidence among participants that led them to leadership opportunities. Participants reported that they were taking on new roles by serving on community-based committees, boards, civic organizations, producer associations and other assorted groups. They also reported a local change in attitudes, specifically, a new respect for their involvement in community affairs and farming. “FSA is supportive of the leadership that women contribute to today’s American agriculture and this outreach project certainly has had a positive impact,” said John Whitaker, state executive director of the Iowa Farm Service Agency. “Our agency has seen more women involved in their local county committee elections process as well as seeing more women making decisions for their farms. This leadership needs to continue to develop, so that these positive impacts and others can continue to help improve our land as well as rural communities.” Members of the WLL state team are Bregendahl; Beth Grabau, FSA public relations and outreach specialist; Tanya MeyerDideriksen, coordinator of the Iowa Valley RC&D; Tricia Mootz, NRCS human resources specialist; and Carol Richardson-Smith, process design consultant from Perry.

2011 ICA membership kickoff begins The November meeting of the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association Board of Directors included an overview of the 2011 Membership Drive. Membership Kickoff began December 1, which translates into a shorter drive and fewer mailings, said Trent Wellman, ICA membership communications manager. After paying their dues, members will receive benefit discounts at statewide retailers, a change that will allow more members to take advantage of those discounts. While member dues remain the same ($75/yr or $200/3 yrs), the optional Fair Share guidelines have changed to a standard 25¢ per head. In addition, members are being asked to complete a short survey to help ICA leaders and staff focus on issues most important to members. Also during the board meeting, directors were encouraged to submit comments on the proposed GIPSA rule. The comment period ended Monday, November 22. Tom Shipley, ICA director of issues management and policy implementation, reviewed the election results. He noted that of the candidates given ICA PAC money, 80 percent were successful in their election bids. He reminded board members that legislative and congressional districts will change in two years and that rural Iowa will continue to lose its representation. In order to be successful in providing input for change, it’s important for ICA members to stay engaged with legislators as well as rulemakers, board members were told. The board also heard a report from the Coalition to Support Iowa’s Farmers. Kent Mowrer, CSIF field specialist, said 75 percent of the calls they currently receive are from cattle producers who have questions about feedlot runoff and separation distances.

New reports highlight the importance of grocery stores in rural communities In November, the Center for Rural Affairs released two reports - the first examining the critical role grocery stores play in rural communities and challenges faced by those stores, and a follow-up report that examines models of rural grocery store ownership and how they deal with each of the challenges facing rural grocery stores. In the United States 803 counties are classified as "food deserts" - all the residents of a county are 10 or more miles away from a fullservice grocery store. The Great Plains has the highest concentration of "food desert" counties, with 418, and 98 percent of those counties are rural. "The growing phenomena of rural "food deserts" - the lack of outlets to purchase food - is affecting residents in many rural areas of the nation, no matter their age or income," said Jon Bailey, author of the reports and director of Rural Research and Analysis at the Center for Rural Affairs. According to Bailey, although rural grocery stores play a crucial role in rural communities, providing vital sources of nutrition, jobs and tax revenue that support the community, they are slowly disappearing across the nation. In Iowa, for example, the number of grocery stores with employees dropped by almost half from 1995 to 2005, from about 1,400 stores in 1995 to slightly more than 700 just 10 years later. Meanwhile, "supercenter" grocery stores (Wal-Mart and Target, for example) increased by 175 percent in the 10-year period. "Rural grocery stores are more than food retailers, however, they are also economic drivers, community builders, employers and meeting places," explained Bailey. "Unfortunately, many rural communities across the nation are losing local grocery stores, and residents are forced to leave their communities to purchase food, often at great expense due to great distance." Bailey's report further explains that the lack of a grocery store means residents have less access to healthy fresh fruits and vegetables, and the elderly and others without reliable transportation will tend to buy their food at convenience stores with more limited selections or go for longer periods of time between visits to the store. Also new residents and young families are unlikely to want to live in a community without a place to purchase food, and purchase patterns get set as people start and become accustomed to purchasing food in another community. Many reasons conspire to leave a community without a grocery store; declining populations, out-commuting - going to work and presumably shopping in other communities - and aging ownership and a lack of transfer opportunities may leave communities without a local store when owners retire or decide to leave the business.
1-IFR (bore welding_Midwest Bore Repair)MS
The first report, Rural Grocery Stores: Importance and Challenges, describes six general challenges facing rural grocery stores: competition with chain grocery stores, coping with high costs of energy, meeting minimum buying requirements, dealing with labor issues, dealing with community support, and models of ownership. The report also examines the importance of grocery stores to rural communities and the people who live there. In particular, rural counties defined as "food deserts" or with low-access to food face significant economic and health challenges. A survey of rural Iowa counties meeting the "food desert" criteria found that large segments of the population lacked adequate consumption of fruits, vegetables, dairy and protein. Studies have found that rural grocery stores have "limited variety of quality foods" and "tend to charge higher prices for those products." The Iowa survey found that when compared to superstores, however, many local grocery stores charged lower prices for basic food products important to a healthy diet and that local residents took advantage of the small local grocery stores in their community. "These findings demonstrate hope for local grocery stores in rural, low-access and food desert areas," said Bailey. Bailey's second report, Rural Grocery Stores: Ownership Models That Work for Rural Communities, offers solutions to the challenges discussed in the first report and examines models of rural grocery store ownership and how they deal with each of the challenges facing rural grocery stores. "Rural communities without a grocery store and seeking to develop one have four primary models of ownership open to them - independent retailer, community-owned, cooperative and school-based. The characteristics and circumstances of the community and its needs will determine which model will work best," said Bailey. Bailey added that the independent retailer model is the traditional model of ownership or rural grocery stores. However, these are precisely the retailers that are most in danger and who represent the vast majority of grocery stores leaving rural communities. "Many believe the futures of rural communities of this nation are very much in doubt, that the demographic and economic challenges faced by many rural communities are simply too great and deep-seated to overcome. The issues facing rural grocery stores are an example of those larger rural challenges," concluded Bailey. "But we believe the future of these communities holds abundant promise if new economic models are encouraged and implemented. The ownership models for rural grocery stores presented herein are examples of how rural communities can shape their own future."

I love being able to teach my son (and other kids) through the 4-H program. Though some people may think 4-H is just for farm kids, it’s not. Sure, having livestock can help teach a child responsiblity and a whole mess of other things. For example, my son has a beef project. We finally picked up my son’s third 4-H calf for this year, a black one that I had prenamed “Bandit� before we had even picked him out. My son had first picked a MaineTainer heifer that he named Annabelle. The second was a Maine and Charolais cross steer that I thought should be named Charlie. He disagreed and wanted to call him Smokey, due to his grey-tan coloring. Thus begain the great Charlie/ Smokey debate of September. Eventually, he won but only under the condition that the next one they found would be called Bandit. My son agreed, not knowing of my “Smokey and the Bandit� inside
joke. Each night after school my son goes down to spend some time with his calves and feed them. On the weekend, he does both the morning and evening chores with them. The calves know him and come right up to “talk� to him when he’s down there. By fair time in July, my son would have spent more than 300 hours with his calves, feeding them, walking them, and grooming them. Comparatively, he’ll spend about 1200 hours in school this year, learning about history, geography, math, science, writing, and reading. I’m sure he’ll spend another couple hundred hours next summer helping his dad with farm work, and quite a few hours with me learning and working on other 4-H exhibits for the fair. My son knows that his 4-H calves are his responsibility. Sure, my husband will feed them in the morning so he doesn’t have to go down before school to do his chores (none of the guys in my
house are good about waking up early in the morning). Yes, I’ll even feed and take care of the calves when they are both at Boy Scout camp in the summer, though it stresses me out beyond belief. (Remember, people, I did not grow up around livestock.) My husband will help him decide what and how much to feed the calves, and will teach him what other immunizations and medical attention the calves need during the year. Having the 4-H calves is a great opportunity for teaching the kids about farm management and business. As the year draws to a close, we will be working with the kids in our 4-H club to decide what their project goals will be for 2011. One member may want to learn what the difference is between baking powder and baking soda in a food and nutrition project. Another member may want to learn how to put together and launch a model
THE
FARMER’S WIFE By Christy Welch rocket. One might want to learn how to operate a sewing machine and stitch together something simple for his project. One of the sportsminded members might want to learn why it’s important to warm up before exercising through a health project. This year, our family purchased a GPS unit so we could go geocaching (a GPS scavenger hunt). We will learn about geocaching and my son
will put together an exhibit for the fair about it to teach others. The learning and teaching opportunities are endless, unlike the amount of quality time you can spend with a child as he is growing up. The 4-H program could provide some structure to that time. Though many of you are probably involved in 4-H in your communities, I urge you to reach out to the city kids and their parents in your community to talk to them about the benefits of 4-H. If your children are grown, I urge you to contact your local extension office to see what you can do to help the 4-H program in your county. Many parents are busier now more than ever, and would welcome a 4-H mentor for their child. Just because your children are out of the house does not mean that you are out of the 4-H program. Make a call. Get involved again. You won’t regret it!

Converting CRP land into a haven for wildlife by Gordon Wolf Forty-four acres of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land on the Marcia Bachmann/Richard Meyer farmland east of Denison has been enhanced to provide better habitat for wildlife. The 44 acres had been in bromegrass. It is now planted predominately to a five way grass and forb configuration, providing excellent roosting cover for pheasants and other birds. The enhanced planting also include several milo food plots. KR Buck, Denison contractor and Crawford County Pheasants Forever member, pointed out
that landowners can use existing CRP land or newly enrolled CRP to do the same thing that Bachmann and Meyer did. In addition to converting the CRP acres from bromegrass to grasses cover more conducive to wildlife, Bachmann and Meyer plan to install another CRP practice, filter-strips, adjacent to a pond on their land. The pond, built this spring, is one of the last detention ponds constructed for the East Boyer Watershed. Going north of their pond and the creek that feeds it, to their property line, another 15 acres is slated for CRP and wildlife grasses. According to the Pheasants Forever Web site,

buffers increase nesting success as they provide travel links and nesting areas between fragmented agricultural habitats. The enhanced plantings on the land are designed to sustain wildlife even in the harshest of winters. If the snow drifts higher than the grass, the vegetation will still be tall enough that birds can dig down to the seeds. The cover is good for all types of birds, said Buck. He added that the prairie grass provides excellent cover for birds as it is less dense than some other varieties of grasses, making it easier for birds to escape predators. If a stand of grass is too thick, birds have difficulty escaping. Seed for the planting was donated by the Crawford County Pheasants Forever chapter. Meyer said the CRP payments with the enhanced wildlife cover are equal to what was received when the acres were in bromegrass. Since the 44 acres were in an older CRP contract, none of the enhancements were cost-shared by the government, which made the Pheasants Forever support critical to the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;KR made it very easy for us to convert from brome to the wildlife cover,â&#x20AC;? Meyer stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He coordinated everything.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everythingâ&#x20AC;? included designing the plots, lining up the contractor to spray and kill the brome and plant the prairie grass and milo seed, and making sure the project was completed. Buck said the milo foodplots will stand for two years, then be tilled and planted again. The example set by Bachmann, Meyer and Buck has the potential to be replicated many times. Any CRP land that is part-way through a contract and was originally seeded to a grass that was not wildlife friendly could be enhanced, said Jay Ford, Crawford County District Conservationist. He said most of the newer CRP acres in Crawford County have been planted to native grasses, but there are still older contracts out there that have

Singles in Agriculture event planned for Iowa in March The Iowa/Wisconsin Chapter of Singles in Agriculture will host the 25th anniversary of the National Singles in Agriculture March 10 through 13, 2011, at the Clarion Inn in Williamsburg, (Little Amana). All singles with an agricultural related background are invited to attend all or part of the event. The event consists of tours of the Kinze Manufacturing Company, the seven villages of Amana, as well as a buffet dinner and dance on Friday and Saturday night. The idea of Singles in Agriculture (SIA) began with an article in Farm Journal written by Meg Gage on the difficulty of farmers meeting people and having a full social life. They received such an overwhelming response that they put out a directory. It became a huge task for the magazine and Iowan Marcella Spindler volunteered to handle correspondence among those interested in forming a singles organization.
By the summer of 1986, the idea officially became Singles in Agriculture and then the following October became a charter. The non-profit organization now has 11 state chapters and members from 41 states. Membership encompasses a broad range in ages 18 to 70+…never married, divorced, widowed and widowers. The purpose of Singles in Agriculture is to promote educational, recreational and social opportunities for singles who have an agricultural background or related occupation, or who are interested in agricultural. SIA events have taken place in Texas, Kentucky, West Virginia, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Iowa. The state chapters provide local events in their states that have included educational as well as fun tours, dancing, canoeing, water tank floats, kayaking, camping, wiener roasts, shopping, just a lot of fun-filled weekends of fellowship, laughter
and hugs. While SIA is not a dating site, many have met and married. They can then join the sister group called Singles no More. Because of the life-long friendships made, many of the Singles no More still attend the regular SIA events. One of the organizations sayings is “SIA where you’re only a stranger once….then you’re a friend forever!” Contacts for the 25th anniversary event are Jack Borkowski at 641-648-9689, Roberta Meierotto at 319-385-1114, Ferd Marie at 319-6534806, or Sandy Mclean at 319-232-6103. For more information on the Iowa/Wisconsin chapter of SIA contact Shirley Steele at 609 South Third, Washington, IA 52353, or at 319-653-2959. For more information about the National Singles in Agriculture or upcoming activities go to the Web site, www.singlesinagriculture.org.
2011 Iowa Pork Congress announced, registration now open The largest winter swine tradeshow and conference in the United States will take place in Des Moines January 26 and 27. The 2011 Iowa Pork Congress will be in Hy-Vee Hall at the Iowa Events Center, as well as the Polk County Convention Complex. Pork Congress hours will be 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on January 26, and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on January 27. The Iowa Pork Foundation’s annual Kickoff Reception and Auction will be at Hy-Vee Hall on January 25 and the IPPA Youth Swine Judging contest will be at the county convention complex on January 27. “This is one of the largest and best swine events of the year, and if you’re involved in pork production in any way, shape or form in Iowa or any other Midwest state, you really need to attend,” said IPPA President John Weber, a producer from Dysart. “The trade show has it all and the wide variety of seminars that are offered provides excellent educational opportunities. The social events, the youth activities and the networking possibilities make Iowa Pork Congress a can’tmiss event.”
While the tradeshow and its 300 exhibitors is a major draw for many of the nearly 5,000 annual attendees, the seminars that are offered at no additional cost also are a key attraction. “IPPA staff always tries to cover the most pressing issues in pork production by offering seminars that address those issues,” said IPPA Iowa Pork Congress Committee Chairman Don Toale, a pork producer from Independence. “We bring in the most knowledgeable speakers to facilitate these sessions because we feel it’s very important to keep those involved in the pork industry informed.” Some of the seminar topics include environmental regulations and nuisance cases, legislative issues, foreign trade, genetics and PRRS. Iowan Jolene Brown will present the keynote address titled “When Pigs Fly.” Producers also can attend PQA Plus and TQA certification sessions. Pork Congress offers something for everyone and pork producers, pig handlers, allied business representatives and high school and college students are encouraged to attend. Decision makers in farrowing, finishing and seedstock production,
production employees, veterinarians or anyone with an interest in the swine industry will gain valuable insight by attending the event. Registration is currently open for the 2011 Iowa Pork Congress. The pre-registration deadline is January 14, 2011, and IPPA members can attend the tradeshow and conference at no cost by registering early. Interested persons can register now at iowaporkcongress.org or by using the form in the November issue of the Iowa Pork Producer magazine. Non-IPPA members can save $5 off the normal $10 admission cost by registering online by the deadline. Registrations will be accepted after the deadline through each day of the show, but the cost will be $10. Those who pre-register can avoid lines and quickly pick up their pre-printed name badge and credentials at the Pre-registration desk the day of the show. For more information, contact IPPA at 800-3727675 or visit www.iowaporkcongress.org.

The information contained herein is gathered from sources we believe to be reliable but cannot be guaranteed. Opinions expressed are subject to change without notice. There is significan’t risk in trading futures.
Lean hog has been lower this week due to profit taking by market longs. The weekly net change is $1.90 lower on the February contract and April is down $2.17. Cash trade has been steady to lower this week. Packer margins have suffered this week due to a combination of sharply higher hog prices, and lower carcass values (which were mostly priced-into the futures already) The weekly cold storage report continues to indicate growing supplies. Belly in-movement last week was 5.748 million pounds which was nearly 3 million pounds more than 2009 levels. This should limit upside near-term, but market bulls argue that seasonal tendencies along with soaring feed costs should lead to diminishing heard sizes. With the firm cattle trade we look for hogs to find some support as we finish the week. Hedgers call with questions.

CATTLE 12/02/10 Live cattle trade has been higher this week due to chart buying and a supportive cutout trade. The weekly net change is $.55 higher on the February contract and April is up $.37. Cash trade was reported early this week at $104/$165, up $2 to $4 versus last week and up $7 to $10 above trade seen within the last month. The current positive cash action will limit downside near term, but cash trade has concluded for the week and its not uncommon to see a seasonal type high in the first or second
week of December . The cutout was higher on Wednesday with choice up 30 at $162.85 and select was up $1.28 at $153.06. On the continuous weekly chart, the trend is firmly up. Nearby resistance is up at the early July high which is about another $1 higher. Long-term support is down at $100. Hedgers call with questions. The break in corn prices the past several weeks is not partially erased but the fat prices are very good, so make sure you are evaluating your margins closely.

WHEAT 12/02/10
CORN 12/02/10
SOYBEANS 12/02/10
Wheat trade has been higher this week due to short covering, new chart buying and global weather concerns. The weekly net change is 53 higher on the March Chicago contract, KC is up 60, and Minneapolis is up 54. The KC exchange voted on some policy changes early this week. The most significant change was the increases in deliverable standards for protein content from 10 to 11%. This could negatively affect the supply of milling wheat given the already widespread quality concerns. The Canadian Wheat Board announced Tuesday that the recently harvested crop would have the highest percentage of feed wheat in the past 6 years due to quality problems. There are also quality concerns with Australia's wheat crop due to the excessive rains that have fallen their over the past 2 weeks. The weekly export sales were reported at 663,300 tons which inline with expectations. On the chart we are above all major moving averages, so a quick run to the early November highs should not be out of the question for the next several sessions. The market exploded on Wednesday with the chart breakout to finish around 50 cents higher on the day. The weekly condition report left wheat condition unchanged at 47% good to excellent; the reports should no longer be seen until late winter/early spring. Hedgers call with questions. The current upside momentum may give some selling opportunities within the next several sessions.
Corn trade appears to have found a short term bottom, profit taking by market shorts, outside market support and end user buying have all been behind the higher trade on the week. The weekly net change is 13 higher on both the December and March contracts heading into Thursday’s trade. China and Argentine signed trade protocols for beef, barley, and dairy on Wednesday; there was some speculation throughout the session that corn would be included as well. This may ultimately prove to be a buy the rumor sell the fact trade, but it was part of the reason corn was sharply higher at midweek. Russia was looking for corn which the market viewed as bullish. The uncertainty surrounding the extension of the blender's credit will likely prevent a move above our recent highs without further fundamental support. Ongoing concerns over European economic instability may also limit upside. Many analysts fear that more bailouts will be announced which will continue to support the dollar. On the March chart, it looks like the trade confirmed a short-term low on Wednesday; the trade posted a key reversal up and finished above the 20-day moving average. We could argue the export sector needs to improve before we should see another run to the $6+ area. The weekly export sales were reported at 758,100 tons which was inline with expectations. Some analysts have argued that the aggressive feed wheat exports from Canada have slowed US corn sales. So that is friendly for quality wheat trade, but not feed grains. This leads into our wheat comment, but this likely solidifies ideas that the upward trend in quality wheat prices should continue. Hedgers call with questions.
Soybean trade has been higher this week due to profit taking by market shorts. The weekly net change is 45 higher on January beans, January Meal is $9.40 higher and bean oil is 236 points higher. There has been renewed bullish enthusiasm in the marketplace following the announcement from China early this week that the large soybean import program would continue to increase. The focus will continue to be on South American weather. Some private analysts have reduced yield expectations already, but conditions in Argentina remain particularly dry. Additional reductions will likely be seen if significant rains do not fall there within another 2 weeks. The Argentine Grain Exchanges estimated bean production at 49.5 million tons which was off 5 million tons from 54.5 million last year. The exchanged noted that acres have expanded there, but late plantings are expected to slightly reduce yields while also limiting double crop efforts. Additional moisture could still improve yield prospects. On the January chart, market closed above 20-day moving average at midweek which should promote additional upside. Nearby resistance will range from $12.90 to $13. The weekly soybean sales were 1.341 million tons, which were above expectations. Meal sales were 133,800 tons, and oil sales were 32,100 tons. Demand remains good, so downside should be limited in the near term picture. The market needs to believe the South American crop is bigger than expected to justify any near term sell off back below our November lows. Hedgers call with questions.

Meetings, workshops and training sessions PQA Plus Advisor Recertification People who become certified as Pork Quality Assurance (PQA) Plus Advisors under the National Pork Board's PQA Plus program are required to recertify every three years. That means those certified during the initial training period in 2007 need to complete a recertification training and testing session in 2010. The Iowa Pork Industry Center (IPIC) at Iowa State University (ISU) has planned one such recertification session for December 9 in Ames. James McKean, IPIC associate director and ISU Extension swine veterinarian, said there a few spots remain in the session, which will be taught by ISU animal science and veterinary medicine faculty members who are certified PQA Plus trainers. The session is limited to the first 30 participants who pre-register and pay the recertification fee of $50 per person. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged to ensure the new PQA Plus materials will be available for each participant. The session is filled on a first received, first accepted basis. The pre-registration form is available online at http://www.ipic.iastate.edu/PQAPRecert1210.doc x. It also is available by fax by calling Jane Runneals at IPIC at 515-294-4103. The recertification session will be last from 8:30 a.m. to noon in the Ensminger Room in Kildee Hall on the ISU campus in Ames. The Iowa Board of Veterinary Medicine has approved 3.5 hours of continuing education credit for the recertification session. Organic grain and livestock outlook meetings Organic production has grown nationally at a rate of nearly 20 percent per year for the last seven years. Industry experts continue to forecast a slowing but steady growth for organic production. However, weather patterns and the volatility of organic markets and prices the past few years have affected both profitability and stability for organic growers. Five organic outlook meetings planned for midDecember are an excellent opportunity to learn more about market demand and managing risk in organic operations. The meetings are sponsored by the Iowa State University Extension Value Added Agriculture Program and the Iowa Organic Association. The meetings will include a presentation by Catherine Greene, USDA Economic Research Service, which offers a historic look at national organic markets and an outlook of organic markets for 2011 and beyond. The buyers' perspective will be shared by grain merchandising companies and organic cooperatives. Joe Ward, president of the Iowa Organic Association and a livestock nutritionist, will give an overview of the recent changes to the National Organic Program’s pasture rule and how it affects organ-
ic producers. At each meeting a producer panel will discuss how to manage risk with the use of enterprise mix, crop rotation, crop insurance and government programs. Panel members also will share their marketing strategies for organics. Meeting dates and locations are: • December 10: Bremer County Extension Office, 720 Seventh Avenue SW, Tripoli • December 13: Argiro Student Center, Festival Hall, second floor, Hwy # 1 and Dr. Keith Wallace Drive, Maharishi University of Management, Fairfield • December 14: Story County Extension Office, 4-H Hall, 220 H Avenue, Nevada • December 16: Cass County Extension Office, 805 West 10th Street, Atlantic • December 17: Buena Vista Extension Office, 824 Flindt Drive, Storm Lake All meetings are scheduled to last from 1 to 4 p.m. There is no charge for the meetings and preregistration is not required. For more information, contact Joe Ward at JWard722@aol.com, 319-447-1188 or 319-3613047, or Margaret Smith at mrgsmith@iastate.edu or 515-290-4456. Cattle risk and margin management workshops set for Iowa producers The Iowa Beef Center (IBC) at Iowa State University (ISU) invites cattle feeders to one of a series of risk and margin management workshops this winter. Locations in northwest, north central and northeast Iowa are set for December and locations in southern Iowa are being scheduled for early January. Producers will learn about risk management tools such as futures, options and livestock insurance, and how to use those tools in their operations. Participants will be guided in using actual market process from a two-year period to make marketing, feeder cattle and corn-purchase decisions. They will also be able to explore the concept of locking in a margin between the selling price of fed cattle and the cost of corn and feeder cattle. Each December workshop runs from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and is sponsored by IBC, Land O’Lakes Purina and local cooperatives. The $25 per person fee is payable at the door, but pre-registration is required to ensure adequate materials and resources for attendees. Each workshop location must have at least eight and no more than 26 pre-registrations. Preregister by contacting the appropriate person listed below for the site you will attend at least three days before the workshop date. Be sure to check the IBC Web site for updated information on workshop locations: http://www.iowabeefcenter.org/riskworkshops.ht ml. Following is the current list of dates, locations

Winter feeding decisions for the cow herd During most Iowa winters, hay is an adequate choice to meet nutritional needs of gestating beef cows when fed free choice. However, this summer’s continual rain caused over-mature or otherwise damaged hay, resulting in decreased feed value. Iowa State University (ISU) Extension beef specialist and Iowa Beef Center IBC) interim director Dan Loy said the problem is widespread. “Almost one-half of the forage samples submitted to date through our forage testing project are marginal in energy and nearly 20 percent are marginal in meeting the protein needs of a mature beef cow in late gestation,” Loy stated. “It’s important to know the nutritional value of your available forages so you can make good feed and feeding decisions this winter.” ISU Extension and IBC are hosting meetings in several Iowa locations this winter designed to help producers learn how to make these nutrition-based decisions. In addition to providing a current summary of the forage testing project and to-date results, ISU Extension beef program specialists will present information on allocating feed inventory, sample rations to meet cow nutrient needs and tools to control feed cost and waste.

Iowans attend Sustainable Beef Conference In November, Iowa Cattlemen’s Association member Dave Petty of Eldora and ICA CEO Duane Gangwish attended the Global Conference on Sustainable Beef in Denver, Colorado. The conference was designed to bring together diverse stakeholders in the beef system to discuss a global beef system with greater sustainability. Producers, supply chain managers, business leaders, practitioners, conservation experts, bankers, scientists and thought leaders engaged in constructive dialog on the full range of issues. Cattle producers from the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Canada,
Britain, Ireland and Argentina attended the conference and shared their successes in creating sustainability. More than 300 attendees from in excess of 140 companies representing more than 20 countries met for three days to talk about issues to improve industry sustainability. They explored and began clarifying the environmental, economic and social issues of a sustainable beef system. The key topics of discussion were water, energy, communities, business and labor, emissions, land management, and food, nutrition and safety. The conference highlighted the manner in which diverse interests can accomplish the goal
of producing safe, nutritious beef for a growing population in a profitable responsible manner. Major sponsors of the conference were World Wildlife Fund, Wal-Mart, McDonald’s, Intervet Schering-Plough Animal Health, JBS and Cargill. The purpose of the conference was simply to spur discussion and share differing points of view, but no specific goals or next steps were disclosed during the conference. “It’s important for cattle producers to be engaged in this conversation,” Gangwish said. “The price for ignoring issues and discussions like this is that someone else will define them for you.”
Alliance to Guard Agriculture formed Twenty farmer and rancher organizations met in October in St. Louis in what is recognized now as a historic meeting to form the U.S. Farmers & Ranchers Alliance (USFRA) to address the growing need for all of agriculture to coordinate their messages and reach out even further to the consuming public through consumer influencers and thought leaders as the majority of the U.S. public has become further and further removed from the farm. “We in production agriculture recognize the immediate need to build consumer trust in today’s U.S. food production system,” said newly-elected USFRA Chairman Bob Stallman, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation. “We also recognize the need to maintain and enhance the freedom of American farmers and ranchers to operate in an economical, sustainable and responsible manner. The sun rises today on a new, collaborative and coordinated effort by many segments of production agriculture to tell our great story as never before.” Stallman stated the Alliance’s vision is to enhance consumer trust in today’s U.S. food production system, to maintain and enhance the freedom of U.S. farmers and ranchers to operate in a responsible manner, and to strengthen collaboration with the food production, processing and distribution systems. According to Stallman, USFRA will focus its initial efforts on the following measurable goals: • Increase consumer, consumer influencer and thought leader trust and confidence in today’s agriculture. • Serve as a resource to food companies on the benefits of today’s agricultural production. • Work with leading health, environmental and dietary organizations to demonstrate the benefits of today’s agricultural production. • Increase the role of U.S. farmers and ranchers as the voice of animal and crop agriculture
on local, state and national food issues. “This is an exciting time for U.S. agriculture. It represents the first time all of production agriculture has come together for a common purpose,” said Stallman. “It won’t be easy. Changing consumer perceptions is a big challenge. We plan to use our strategic vision to focus our energies.” In 2011, Stallman indicated USFRA will continue to identify any current efforts to enhance public trust in today’s agriculture already undertaken by agriculture and food industry organizations that may fit strategically within USFRA’s vision and goals. USFRA recognizes that many of these current efforts have already made strides forward, and it anticipates future successes for them. However, USFRA also anticipates identifying gaps in the broad consumer education efforts that exist today. It will be imperative that USFRA closes those gaps and builds a public trust in today’s agriculture campaign that will allow its supporting organizations to operate as needed, while still pooling resources to maximize efficiencies and effectiveness of a consumer influencer and thought leader campaign, said Stallman. At this time, 24 different farmer- and rancher-led organizations – representing nearly all aspects of agriculture – have joined the alliance to pool resources. According to Stallman, these organizations are contributing to the greater good of agriculture, and are participating in an organization that will truly make a strong, positive impact on farmers and ranchers for years to come. They are American Egg Board (AEB), American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), American National CattleWomen (ANCW), American Sheep Industry (ASI), American Soybean Association (ASA), American Sugar Alliance, Beef Checkoff (CBB), Federation of State Beef Councils (FSBC), National We accept fence wire and animal feeders.

Iowa Farm and Ranch
December 2010
Soybeans…pearls from the farm by Emma Struve December, of course, brings to mind Christmas and gift exchanges. Agriculture and food – some would say gastronomically – inspired jewelry, hand-crafted in Iowa, is available at Ankeny-based Adornments & Ornaments online. Linda Funk and Jantina Wennerstrom have brought together a collection of items created by artisans that exemplifies the importance of the industries in Iowa. On a larger scale, Funk said, “Food is so popular today, even though it sounds silly to say.” What she meant is that there seems to have been a recent re-emergence of a focus on taste, quality, and goodness of food. The food-related accessories at www.adornments-ornaments.com may appeal to “culinary professionals and food-lovers” just as easily as
“those who grow soybeans.” The spoon- and fork-based pendants, earrings, and charm bracelets are made by an Iowa woman Funk originally met at the Iowa State Fair. She acquires much of the antique flatware used in production through estate sales. “It’s kind of a green business – it’s recycling,” Funk stated. The soybean jewelry is sterling silver set with freshwater pearls. Recently, Adornments & Ornaments expanded the online offering to include soy-based beauty products. Funk said she saw the items advertised in a neighborhood magazine and so she sat down with the woman selling the items. Over a cup of coffee they discussed how to forge a partnership to offer the moisturizing and lip products. Enhancing the promotion of soy is not a fleeting fancy for Funk. For more than 30 years she has
been in the food marketing industry and currently is the executive director of the Soyfoods Council as well as president of Flavorful Insight, a Linda Funk brought marketing firm for busitogether the product of Iowa nesses in the food artisans to offer unique jewindustry. elry and other products at The Soyfoods Council Adornments & Ornaments, is focused on developing many of which are soybean food marketing pro- themed. Photos submitted. grams such as chef training, promotional programs, working with manufacturers and their products, as well as developing food sponsorships for local and national food conferences. For additional information see thesoyfoodscouncil.com.
Adornments & Ornaments offers fine sterling jewelry featuring freshwater pearls inspired by one of Iowa’s bounties: the soybean. Jewelry – including pendants, watches and bracelets – made from recycled antique silverware may appeal to foodies or simply to those that appreciate unique wearables (just in time for Christmas…)

New publication helps farmers improve energy efficiency in hog buildings Wasted heating energy due to excessive ventilation is a costly problem for hog producers during the winter months. A new publication from Iowa State University Extension illustrates examples for evaluating minimum ventilation to improve energy efficiency in hog buildings. “Sizing Minimum Ventilation to Save Heating Energy in Swine Housing,” PM 2089J, is available to download from the Extension Online Store at www.extension.iastate.edu/store/. Eighty to ninety percent of heat loss in swine housing during the winter months is due to overventilation, according to Jay Harmon, ISU professor in Ag and Biosystems Engineering. “Unfortunately, over-ventilation during the winter months is more common than you would think,” said Harmon. “In particular, wean-to-finish buildings present one of the greatest challenges to efficient winter heating and proper ven-
tilation.” Proper sizing of minimum ventilation and use of variable speed fans can improve overall energy efficiency. The publication addresses recommendations regarding air flow, fan speed and wind protection. It also describes factors that affect fan performance. “Weather conditions this fall have allowed farmers to catch up on many outdoor projects that may have fallen through the cracks in years past,” said Dana Petersen, ISU Extension program coordinator. “Investing time to winterize livestock buildings can improve efficiency and conserve energy during the coming months.” The publication is part of a series of farm energy conservation and efficiency educational
materials being developed through the Farm Energy Conservation and Efficiency educational initiative. The purpose of the initiative is to increase farmers’ awareness of farm energy conservation practices. Sponsored by a grant from the Iowa Energy Center, it is also helping farmers explore alternatives to reduce farm energy demand and to improve their farms’ overall profitability in a rapidly changing energy environment. To find other publications in the series, go to the ISU Extension Online Store, www.extension.iastate.edu/store and search for farm energy.

CHANGE ANY CHISEL PLOW INTO A COULTER MACHINE Coulter Kits
Ask about Dakota Electric Grills
In Action
www. dakotagrills. com
Coulter Kit The coulter kits include: 18” 13 wave boron “earthenharden” coulter blades. (Using your existing shanks).
This is a less expensive way to make a coulter machine, using any chisel plow. With 4 Bearings to make it even more HEAVY DUTY. Works in wheat stubble and corn stocks, in the fall and spring. Cut up trash in the field or dry out the ground so you can plant days earlier.
Ron’s Manufacturing
Vertical Tillage Coulter Kit Attachment now stronger Ron’s Manufacturing has added two more bearings to their vertical tillage coulter kits, making the kits even more heavy duty. Coulter kits from Ron’s Manufacturing convert any chisel plow to a year-round tool to prepare fields. In the fall, it can be used to lightly till the soil, as well as incorporate and size residue. It is also a practical way to dry out wet soils. The Vertical Tillage Coulter Kit Attachment works well in no-till conservation tillage, as well as conventional tillage operations, extending the growing season and creating better planting conditions. Vertical tillage prepares the soil to warm more quickly in early spring, energizing the seedbed for maximum growth and yield potential.

The Vertical Tillage Coulter Kit Attachment is a smart investment in that it has multiple uses, which will ultimately produce savings in terms of time and money. It also has a low operating cost per acre and can be used in a wider range of conditions than most tillage tools. It operates at a relatively high speed of 6 to 12 MPH, which saves time. The Vertical Tillage Coulter Kit Attachment allows for quick mixing of manure and soil to prevent loss of nutrients and control odor. It can also be used for very shallow incorporation of fertilizer and select herbicides. The Vertical Tillage Coulter Kit Attachment is spaced on six inches. Coulter kits have a patent pending.

CONVERTING CRP LAND INTO A HAVEN FOR WILDLIFE Continued from page 10 been renewed from 10 or 20 years ago, which are still all or partially in bromegrass. “If landowners want to change their CRP acres to a more habitat-friendly cover, they have to do it on their own, unless Pheasants Forever (or another group) is assisting,” he stated. To convert grass cover to habitatfriendly cover, Round-Up is applied before the new seed is no-till planted. Seed could run from $50 to $250 an acre, depending on the variety of grasses, said Ford. The conversion process involves the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) updating the landowner’s conservation plan and then passing it on to the board at the
1-IFR(Tristatesgrain)TS
Farm Service Agency (FSA) office for approval. Ford recommended that landowners give the NRCS and FSA a little lead time as the process is something not frequently encountered. The Conservation Reserve Program, created in 1985, has been the single best tool for creating habitat for pheasants and other wildlife, according to the Pheasants Forever Web site. Pheasants Forever lists nesting cover as the most important limiting factor for pheasant populations and adds that food plots have a role in pheasant management because of the relationship between food, winter cover, movement and mortality.
Richard Meyer and Marcia Bachmann stand in a foodplot planted to milo on their farm land east of Denison. They converted Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land into a planting that provides a better habitat for wildlife. KR Buck from the Crawford County Pheasants Forever chapter assisted Bachmann and Meyer in converting the CRP land. Photo by Gordon Wolf

Looking back on 2010 Continued from page 1 Hillaker remarked that May was “almost unusually quiet” concerning severe weather; which was the only remarkable thing about the otherwise virtually statistically normal month. And then the rains came. In Iowa, on average, June 2010 was the wettest ever on record with 10.45 inches of rain falling across the state. Hillaker noted that there was substantial local variability. Guthrie Center, for example, experienced 14.92 inches of rain, which was a record rainfall month. Other areas that recorded record rainfall for any month in June included Cherokee at 13.11 inches and Rowan in Wright County, which was the wet spot in the state, at 20.81 inches. Also in June, Hillaker said, Osceola County, in far northwest Iowa, had an F4 tornado pass through. Though the tornado did not strike any towns, 10 injuries were reported. It was the strongest tornado recorded in Iowa since the F5 in Parkersburg in 2008. Hillaker said there were 33 tornadoes in the state in June. July was another record rainfall month, placing fifth. “For much of the summer, Iowa experienced high humidity,” Hillaker stated. Compounded with the above normal temperatures, heat indexes in excess of 110º were recorded across the state in July in August. Flooding also again became prevalent in July. The Lake Delhi dam, on the Maquoketa River in northeast Iowa, failed July 24 after three days of rain, which caused thousand to evacuate their homes and millions of dollars in property damages. Rathbun Lake in south central Iowa crested
just five inches below the all-time record. Heavy rains continued in August, but were focused on central Iowa; Urbandale, for example, recorded 16.07 inches, Hillaker relayed. Flooding on the Skunk River substantially affected Ames and areas downstream He noted, however, that far eastern and western parts of the state were dry. Overall, the 2010 summer was the second wettest on record – second only to 1993 – with a statewide average of 23.23 inches of rain recorded, which is 10.16 inches more than normal. Hillaker said he has been asked “why we didn’t see more flooding?” To which he replied, “The temperatures had a lot to do with that.” In 1993 and 2008, for example, temperatures were persistently cool so not much evaporation was going on between rain events, he explained The summer of 2010 was also the warmest since 1988, although there were no 100º days. The ground had some opportunity to dry because of the higher than normal temperatures. The agricultural effects of persistent rainfall and persistent heat were observed in yields. “Corn in particular, and to some degree soybeans, matured too quickly, even with adequate moisture. Ears weren’t filled out,” Hillaker explained. Livestock growers also noted mortalities and decreased weight gain in stock due to high heat indices, he added. Omaha and Council Bluffs recorded 112º and 114º heat indices in midAugust, which is “about as high as it gets in this state,” Hillaker stated.
No freezing temperatures were recorded in September, which was a little warmer than average and wetter, but had “started to settle down just a little bit. “October was just about as perfect a month as you could hope for, for a harvest,” Hillaker remarked. The first hard freeze in the state occurred on October 3 and 4 in the northwest two thirds, the majority of the state had experienced a freeze by the 21st or 22nd, and the far southeast was the last to freeze, which occurred on October 29, Hillaker said. He joked that November was virtually a “nonnews month because everything pretty much got done in October” but did note that the first major snow event of the season occurred on the 12th and 13th. Emmetsburg in Palo Alto County recorded the greatest amount of snow: 14 inches. “Now we are in a much colder weather pattern, which will persist for a week to a week in a half,” Hillaker observed. Overall in 2010, it has been the fifth wettest year considering precipitation in just the first 11 months during which time 43.54 inches have fallen; the ranking could change depending on precipitation in December, Hillaker stated. • #1 was 1993 with 48.22 inches • #2 was 1881 with 44.16 inches • #3 was 1902 with 44.04 inches • #4 was 2008 with 43.79 inches • #6 was 2007 with 43.35 inches A typical December yields approximately one inch of precipitation, while the record is about three inches, Hillaker shared on December 1 with Iowa Farm & Ranch.
2011 Winter Outlook State Climatologist Harry Hillaker, with the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, projected that the upcoming winter may include stronger storms and the potential for changeable weather. “The interesting thing right now (December 1) is the unusually widespread snow cover in the northern hemisphere,” he observed. Snow is present in nearly all of Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Montana and Canada, as well as many parts of Europe that do not see it so early in the

season. The snow pack holds down temperatures, which can result in more snow. Hillaker added, it is also very cold in Alaska and northern Asia, from -40º to -60º. While neither of these indicators guarantee “nasty weather” in Iowa, they do increase the odds, he remarked. The National Weather Service, Hillaker said, has issued a long range projection of near normal temperatures and precipitation. Additionally, Iowa is in a La Nina weather pattern.

explained that La Nina accentuates a pattern of higher contrast between warmer weather to the south of the United States and colder weather in the northern portion. This, in turn, results in a stronger jet stream. The consequence: potential for mixed winter weather “cold as you ever want to see” and “ridiculously mild.” But, Hillaker noted, these predictions are only “a best guess” and “each La Nina is different.”
