Independence FFA feeds local farmers Submitted by Fusion Forward

On Oct. 15, Independence FFA Chapter delivered meals to area farmers harvesting in the field. They call this event “Fed in the Field.” Over 75 meals were delivered consisting of pulled pork sandwiches, fruit, baked beans, cookies, and chips. To receive meals the farmers had to be nominated by community members. Chapter President Tanner Erickson-Dale said, “I believe that Fed in the Field is a great

way to give back to some of our local farmers. Without their support of our FFA Chapter our program would not be as strong as it is. We as a chapter greatly appreciate what all farmers do for the world as a whole.” Fed in the Field has been one of the main events for the Independence FFA Chapter the last three years. This great tradition will continue on next year.

Understand Medicare Advantage as a choice for 2017 Iowans on Medicare are in the middle of the annual Medicare open enrollment period (Oct. 15- Dec. 7). One of the choices they have is enrolling in a Medicare Advantage plan for 2017. Before making this choice it is important to understand how these plans work. The first key to understanding Medicare Advantage plans is to know what they are not. They are not Medicare supplement insurance. They are a way to get Medicare Part A and B benefits from private insurance companies, rather than directly from the federal government. While Medicare Advantage plans must provide almost all of the benefits offered by “Original” Medicare, there are important differences to understand before deciding which option is best. Medicare Advantage plans must follow rules set by Medicare; however, they can charge different out-of-pocket costs. You cannot buy supplemental insurance to pay these out-of-pocket costs. Unlike Original Medicare they have an annual out-of-pocket maximum that limits potential costs for a year. Participants will continue to pay Part B premium along with any premium the Medicare Advantage plan may charge. Some plans offer additional benefits such as limited dental and vision coverage, annual physicals or health club memberships. Many include Medicare Part D drug coverage. Medicare Advantage plans use provider networks to manage care. It is important to know if medical

providers are in a plan’s network to assure getting the maximum benefit. If a doctor, other health care provider, facility or supplier doesn’t belong to the plan’s network, services may not be covered, or costs could be higher. Be sure to check that providers are “in-network” before enrolling in a plan. Providers can join or leave a plan’s network anytime during the year. Plans can also change the providers in their network anytime during the year. Medicare Advantage plans are available to anyone with Medicare Part A and Part B and does not have end stage renal disease. You cannot be turned down for coverage except for end-stage renal disease. Participants must live in the plan’s service area to enroll. Service areas are county based. Plans have a one year contract with Medicare. Participants can change plans or go back to Original Medicare each year during the annual open enrollment period. The plan chosen will be in effect for the next calendar year, with few exceptions.

diabetes and about one in three Iowa adults has prediabetes, a condition in which blood glucose (sugar) levels are high, but not high enough yet to be classified as type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes and people with this condition are at higher risk for heart disease, stroke, and serious diabetes-related complications. It’s important to know if one has prediabetes or diabetes. “Most people with prediabetes don’t know they have it,” said Katie Jones, Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) Diabetes Primary Prevention Coordinator. “About one in four people who already have diabetes are also unaware they have it and are at risk for severe diabetes-related complications.” November is National Diabetes Month. Those with diabetes are encouraged to work with a health care provider to manage the condition and prevent complications and attending a Diabetes Self-Management Education program. A list of Diabetes Self-Management Education Programs in Iowa is available at http://bit.ly/DSMEinIA. IDPH also encourages Iowans who do not have diabetes to take a quick one-minute risk test at http:// DoIHavePrediabetes.org to determine their prediabetes risk. For those with prediabetes, the National Diabetes Prevention Program can help prevent or delay type 2 diabetes. A list of National Diabetes Prevention Programs is available at http://bit.ly/NDPPinIA. Additional information about IDPH’s diabetes prevention and control efforts is available at http://idph. iowa.gov/diabetes.

Extension to brief ag retailers on crop production issues, management recommendations Submitted by ISU Extension

Seed, chemical and fertilizer dealers, agronomists, crop consultants and farm managers have the opportunity to hear the latest information on weed management for 2017, pest resistance, corn disease outlook and nitrogen recommendations at the 2016 Ag Chemical Dealer Update meeting in Iowa City on Nov. 22. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach specialists will provide the most up-to-date recommendations and address future crop production challenges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The vision of the ISU Extension and Outreach crops team is that crops will be grown in a manner that is economically profitable and environmentally responsible,â&#x20AC;? said Virgil Schmitt, field agronomist with ISU Extension and Outreach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal of the Ag Chemical Dealer Update is to provide the newest, unbiased, research-based education to the participants, so that they can better assist farmers in accomplishing this crops team vision.â&#x20AC;? While the Ag Chemical Dealer Update meeting in Iowa City covers weed, insect, disease and nutrient management, there will be a focus on weeds and diseases this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Herbicide management and Palmer amaranth will have a special focus this year, given the potential for new technology to be approved by the next growing season and the current issues with Palmer amaranth across the state,â&#x20AC;? said Meaghan Anderson, field agronomist with ISU Extension and Outreach. Last year, the Iowa City Ag Chemical Dealer Update meeting attracted approximately 120 ag retailers and agribusiness professionals across Iowa. The meeting qualifies for Certified Crop Adviser (CCA) continuing education credits, and recertification for Commercial Pesticide Applicators in categories 1A, 1B, 1C, and 10. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This event is an opportunity for ag retailers and farmers, who may be unable to attend the Integrated Crop Management Conference this year, to still hear new, research-based information and complete their commercial pesticide applicator recertification,â&#x20AC;? said Rebecca Vittetoe, field agronomist with ISU Extension and Outreach. Early registration is $70, if received by midnight Nov. 15, for the Iowa City location. Late or on-site registration is $85. If unable to attend the Iowa City event, a second meeting will take place Dec. 7 in Ames. For information, contact ISU Extension and Outreach Field Agronomists Virgil Schmitt at vschmitt@iastate.edu or 563-263-5701; Meaghan Anderson at mjanders@iastate.edu or 319-337-2145; or Rebecca Vittetoe at rka8@iastate.edu or 319-653-4811. For questions about registration, contact Brent Pringnitz, coordinator for ANR Program Services at 515-294-9487 or bpring@iastate.edu.

USDA: Baling cornstalks detrimental to soil and wallet

Iowa farmers who bale cornstalks for livestock bedding or sell it to other livestock producers are entering into a losing proposition due to the lost nutrient value and soil health benefits, according to officials with USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Based on current commodity prices and the value in each bale, Neil Sass, agronomist with NRCS in West Union, says farmers should leave crop residue in the field. “The plant residue left in the field after harvest is a valuable resource,” says Sass. “The value in cornstalks can be better used for reducing soil erosion, providing extra organic matter content in the soil, and contributing nutrients back to the soil.” One ton cornstalk bales are currently selling for $20-$30 per bale across Iowa. The latest estimates show that each one ton bale has a value of about $32 when considering the nutrients ($7/ton), custom raking ($3/ton), and custom baling ($22/ton). Sass says farmers should also consider the nutrient value of hay, given today’s prices. “Selling hay bales or cornstalk bales and removing them from the farm at current prices is equivalent to having a fertilizer sale,” he said. “Rather than selling them, farmers should consider using them for bedding.” Rick Bednarek, state soil scientist with NRCS, says plant residue contributes directly to soil performance through added organic matter. “The additional organic matter crop residue provides helps the soil’s nutrient availability, nutrient holding capacity, and water holding capacity,” he said. “Crop residue also protects the soil from the impact of raindrops, helping to maintain soil aggregate stability, which affects infiltration, aeration and drainage.” Farmers who decide to harvest crop residue are encouraged to: 1. Reduce or eliminate tillage operations. 2. Adjust crop rotations to minimize low residue crops. 3. Grow cover crops. 4. Add manure to fertility plan. For information about conservation planning and financial assistance programs, contact a local NRCS office or go online to www.ia.nrcs.usda.gov.

Let’s talk about Advance Directives What is an Advance Directive and why do I need it? Who will make decisions about my healthcare if I am unable to? What are the different types of Advance Directives? “Advance Directive” is the term used to describe a plan of action for medical providers to take in the event an individual needing treatment is no longer able to make his/her own decisions due to illness or injury. An Advance Directive can take the guess work out of making a difficult decision for family members who are faced with such extreme and stressful circumstances. In Iowa, the two primary types of Advance Directives are known as the Living Will and Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care. Iowa law also recognizes other tools to direct medical treatment for individuals facing end-of-life decisions or with life-limiting conditions including the “Out of Hospital Do Not Resuscitate Orders” and Iowa Physician Orders Scope of Treatment (IPOST) forms. A Living Will is a written statement that lets medical personnel know what kind of lifeprolonging medical care you want to receive if you become ill with no hope of recovery, if you are permanently unconscious, or if you are in a vegetative state and unable to make your own decisions. A Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care is a written document which names someone else to make your healthcare decisions if you become unable to make them. The person you designate as your Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA) should be someone you trust and who is willing to act in this capacity. It is important to discuss your wishes with this person. An Out of Hospital Do Not Resuscitate Order provides instructions for health care providers, including emergency medical service, telling them not to revive you. The Iowa Physician Orders for Scope of Treatment, known as IPOST is a document that allows a person to communicate their preferences for key life-sustaining treatments including resuscitation, general scope of treatment, and artificial nutrition. IPOST is appropriate for an individual who is frail and elderly, or who has a chronic, critical medical condition or terminal illness. It is appropriate for an individual with a life expectancy of less than a year. The IPOST form is a legal document and may be honored in any Iowa health care setting. For more information on Advance Directives or for assistance in completing one, contact Kelly Palmer at Buchanan County Health Center 319-332-0999.

At Monday night’s Independence City Council meeting, a hearing was held and bids were reviewed for the Airport Taxiway Widening project. Three bids were received for the estimated $66,203 project. Tschiggfrie Excavating submitted the winning bid at $51,737.66. The Iowa DOT will reimburse the city 85% of project costs, with the builder of the hangar paying the remaining 15%. The project will allow access from the private hangar to the airport runway. The hangar will house aircraft storage and limited Fixed Base Operator (FBO) services for Bachman Aviation, LLC; L. Bachman, LLC; and Paul and Leon, LLC. The general aviation permit allowing FBO services for Paul and Leon, LLC was approved at Monday night’s meeting. Story continues on page 4.
