The News & The Guide

The Birth of 4-H Programs Since 4-H began more than 100 years ago, it has become the nation’s largest youth development organization. The 4-H idea is simple: help young people and their families gain the skills needed to be proactive forces in their communities’ and develop ideas for a more innovative economy. 4-H opened the door for young people to learn leadership skills and revolutionized how youth connected to practical, hands-on learning experiences outside the classroom. Late 1800’s: Making Connections In the late 1800’s, researchers discovered adults in the farming community did not readily accept new agricultural developments on university campuses, but found that young people were open to new thinking and would experiment with new ideas and share their experiences with adults. In this way, rural youth programs introduced new agriculture technology to communities. The idea of practical and “hands-on” learning came from the desire to connect public school education to country life. Building community clubs to help solve agricultural challenges was a first step toward youth learning more about the industries in their community. 1902: Youth Clubs are Formed A. B. Graham started a youth program in Clark County, Ohio, in 1902, which is considered the birth of 4-H in the United States. The first club was called “The Tomato Club” or

the “Corn Growing Club”. T.A. Erickson of Douglas County, Minnesota, started local agricultural after-school clubs and fairs that same year. Jessie Field Shambaugh developed the clover pin with an H on each leaf in 1910, and by 1912 they were called 4-H clubs. 1914: Cooperative Extension System is Created The passage of the SmithLever Act in 1914 created the Cooperative Extension System at USDA and nationalized 4-H. By 1924, 4-H clubs were formed and the clover emblem was adopted. The Cooperative Extension System is a partnership of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) within the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the 110 land-grant universities and more than 3,000 county offices across the nation. Cooperative Extension combines the expertise and resources of federal, state, and local governments and is designed to meet the need for research, knowledge and educational programs.

Buchanan County Youth celebrate National 4-H Week October 4-10 is National 4-H Week, and Buchanan County is celebrating the 4-H youth who have made an impact on the community and are stepping up to the challenges of a complex and changing world. Throughout the week Buchanan County 4-H members, Clover Kids, family members and friends of 4-H are encouraged to wear 4-H apparel to show support for Buchanan County 4-H. Also during 4-H week the Buchanan County Extension office will be hosting a 4-H find out night on Oct. 6 at Heartland Acres Great Spaces from 4-6 PM. It will be a fun time to learn more about what 4-H offers, decorating pumpkins, conducting a science experiment and more! For more than 100 years, the Iowa 4-H Program has been engaging youth in activities that help develop skills for a lifetime. 4-H is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship and life skills as they work in partnership with caring adults. Regardless of the skill learned, the benefits gathered from a young person participating in the 4-H Program are priceless. The 4-H Program is a nationwide youth development program that has more than 6.5 million youth involved in it annually. In Iowa 4-H serves youth in all 99 counties in the state through a network of County Extension and Outreach offices. 4-H is managed jointly by both professional and volunteer staff. In Buchanan County, there are around 300 4-H & Clover Kid members and several volunteers who work together to deliver different project areas, opportunities and events offered annually through the program. 4-H youth are a living breathing, culture-changing revolution for doing the right thing, breaking through obstacles and pushing our country forward by making a measurable difference right where they live. Learn how you can 4-H by contacting Alexia Hamlett, County Youth Coordinator, Buchanan County Iowa State University Extension and Outreach at 319-334-7161 or ahamlett@iastate.edu.

4-H helps our young people reach their full potential. Studies show youth who participate in 4-H do better in school, are more motivated to help others, feel safe to try new things, achieve a sense of self esteem, and develop lasting friendships. Join the 4-H community as a member or volunteer leader today. For more information contact your local 4-H program at 319-334-7161.

Iowa Crop Report Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service. “Combines have started to roll and 5 percent of corn and 7 percent of soybeans have already been harvested. That will likely increase significantly this week as crops continue to dry down. Unfortunately, some areas of Southwest Iowa could be delayed another week or more following heavy rains last week,” Northey said. Wet conditions in western Iowa kept farmers out of the fields, while warm and dry conditions in the rest of the State marked the beginning of harvest activities for many during the week end-

ing September 27, 2015, according the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Statewide there were 4.8 days suitable for fieldwork, though conditions varied from only 2.5 days suitable in Southwest Iowa to 6.7 days in Southeast Iowa. Fieldwork for the week included cutting hay, chopping silage, harvesting seed corn, corn for grain and soybeans. There was also some tillage of harvested fields. Scattered reports indicate that cover crops are off to a good start, with some emerging. Topsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 4 percent short, 84 percent adequate and 12 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, 5 percent short, 83 percent ad-

equate and 11 percent surplus. Seventy-one percent of the corn crop was percent mature, 6 days ahead of last year, but 3 days behind the 5-year average. Five percent of the corn crop for grain has been harvested, a week ahead of last year, but 13 days behind average. Moisture content of all corn being harvested was at 24 percent. Corn condition rated 80 percent good to excellent. Ninety-two percent of soybeans were turning color or beyond, while 72 percent of soybeans were dropping leaves, 4 days ahead of 2014, and 2 days ahead of normal. Seven percent of the soybean crop has been harvested. Soybean condition rated 77 percent good to excellent. The third cutting of alfalfa hay is 29 percent complete, 2 days behind last year and 8 days behind the average. Pasture condition rated 66 percent good to excellent. Livestock conditions were reported as good.

Schoenjahn listening post about local impact of Gov. Branstad’s Medicaid changes to be held Oct. 9

State Senator Brian Schoenjahn of Arlington is organizing a listening post in Independence to hear health care concerns raised by Governor Branstad’s impending privatization of Medicaid. The meeting will take place at 10 AM Friday, Oct. 9, at the meeting room of the Falcon Civic Center at 1305 5th Ave. NE in Independence. Senate President Pam Jochum of Dubuque, committee member of Human Resources, will also take part. “Governor Branstad’s is pushing to privatize Medicaid services faster and more completely than in any other state,” Schoenjahn said. “I’m concerned that people in our communities will be denied critical medical services and that local providers will not be adequately reimbursed for the medical care of Medicaid patients.” Many Iowa health care leaders are concerned that the Branstad Administration’s goals are unrealistic and could threaten the health care of Iowans. By Jan. 1, 2016, the health care of more than a half million Iowans will be turned over to four managed care companies. Under the Branstad Administration’s proposed contracts, administrative costs will jump from 3-15%, reaching a new total of $600 million. At the same time, the overall cost to the State of Iowa is supposed to fall by $100 million a year. “We all need to work together to make sure quality health care services remain available to local seniors, people with physical and mental disabilities, and mothers and children,” said Schoenjahn.

The last day to ﬁle Nov. 3 election nomination papers with the Buchanan County Clerk’s Ofﬁce for open mayor and city council positions was 5 PM on Sept. 17. Anyone who may have had objections to nominations or signatures and those who may have reconsidered and withdrawn a nomination had to do so by 5 PM on Sept. 22. As of press time, there had been no objections or withdrawals.
