The News & The Guide

Although southeast Iowa had 6.4 days suitable for fieldwork, statewide there were just 3.6 days suitable for week ending Sept.

25, according to the USDA,. Above normal precipitation with localized heavy rains led to reports of fields with standing water. Activities for the week included chopping corn for silage, and some corn and soybean harvest. Excessive rains have raised concerns about crop damage and pasture condition in certain parts of the State.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 1 % very short, 2 % short, 67 % adequate and 30 % surplus.

Subsoil moisture levels rated 1 % very short, 4 % short, 73 % adequate and 22 % surplus.

Seventy-two percent of corn crop was mature or beyond, 3 days ahead of last year, and 2 days ahead of five-year average. Corn harvest slowed due to wet conditions, but there were scattered reports of corn for grain being harvested. Corn condition rated 82 % good to excellent. Ninety-three percent of soybeans were turning color or beyond, 3 days ahead of last year’s pace. Sixty-eight percent of soybeans were dropping leaves or beyond, 3 days ahead of average. Soybean harvest has begun where field conditions were dry enough. Soybean condition rated 81% good to excellent.

The third cutting of alfalfa hay advanced one percentage point, to 96 %, due to the rain.

Pasture condition rated 65 % good to excellent.

While above normal temperatures were beneficial for livestock, grazing livestock had to move to higher ground as lowland pastures flooded .

WEATHER SUMMARY It was another very wet week across much of Iowa. Scattered thunderstorms brought rain from south central to northeast Iowa on Monday (19th) and over the extreme northeast corner of

the state on Wednesday (21st) morning. Rain was widespread over the northern one-half of Iowa from Wednesday afternoon to Thursday (22nd) morning with torrential downpours in north central into northeast Iowa with record flooding along the Shell Rock River.

Thunderstorms were again widespread over the northern two-thirds of the state Thursday afternoon into Friday (23rd) morning with heaviest rains centered upon Buchanan and Delaware counties. Finally, another episode of widespread rain impacted the western twothirds of Iowa from Saturday (24th) afternoon into Sunday (25th) morning with heaviest rains in southwestern portions of the state.

Rain totals for the week were exceptionally variable with no rain falling over the southeast portion of Iowa at such locations as Albia, Ottumwa, Fairfield and Burlington while Nora Springs reported 11.07 inches and Nashua 9.76 inches in Floyd County. Statewide average precipitation was 1.95 inches while normal for the week is 0.77 inches. The statewide average rainfall thus far in September has averaged 6.29 inches, the highest September average since 1986. However, once again, the rain totals this month vary widely from only 0.90 inches at Fairfield to 17.25 inches at Nora Springs.

Meanwhile it was a warm and humid week across the state. Temperatures averaged from nine degrees above normal across the northeast to as much as 14 degrees above normal in the south with a statewide average of 12.1 degrees above normal. Temperature extremes varied from a Tuesday (20th) morning low of 47 degrees at Cresco to Wednesday (21st) afternoon highs of 94 degrees at Atlantic, Algona, Clarion and Indianola.

Iowa Farm Bureau members push for expanded trade while visiting with lawmakers in Washington DC

Winthrop: THE NEWS Office at 225 W. Madison, McElroy’s Foods and Speede Shop Independence: Fareway, S&K Collectibles, Hartig Drug, The Music Station, Casey’s General Stores Manchester: Widner Drug

Submitted by Buchanan Co. Farm Bureau

Twenty-one Farm Bureau members representing Iowa Farm Bureau’s Ag Leaders Institute visited Washington DC, Sept. 13-15, to share concerns with elected officials and various agricultural department leaders. The Farm Bureau leaders urged lawmakers to support bringing the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) forward for a vote, and noted the TPP deal would raise farm income by $4.4 billion annually, which would provide a huge boost to Iowa farm families during a downturned ag economy.

“Any new export markets we can get are definitely going to help sell more product and raise prices,” Barry Christensen, a Howard County Farm Bureau member, told Congressman Rod Blum. Christensen also told Blum that corn prices at elevators in Iowa were more than $1 per bushel below the cost of production for many farmers, which has far-reaching effects on Iowa’s ag economy.

The members also emphasized the importance of basing regulatory decision on sound science, which the farmers said the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is ignoring in a proposal to ban atrazine use and implement the controversial Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) rule.

The leaders spoke with all four of Iowa’s U.S. congressmen, Iowa’s two senators, Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst, and representatives from various federal agencies and organizations including the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Those participating in the trip included Andrea Svoboda of Winthrop and Randall Francois of Manchester.

In addition to discussing the importance of trade and concerns with EPA regulations, the Iowa farmers urged members of Congress to protect the crop insurance programs that so many farmers rely on to stay sustainable. As Congress begins their discussions regarding the next farm bill,

KEEP DREAMING. WE’LL BE THERE. members shared the importance of crop insurance, especially for young farmers with less equity in their operations.

“I don’t have enough cash on hand to buy inputs,” said Francois. “My banker knows I have crop insurance, so he is comfortable lending to me, knowing that I use it as an important risk management tool on my farm. Without it, I wouldn’t even know where to start.”

The Ag Leaders Institute is a year-long program offered to select Farm Bureau members around the state. The 19-yearold program provides cutting-edge information about agricultural issues while developing individual leadership skills and working to create a network of leaders across Iowa. The Institute culminates with a trip to Washington DC, and graduation at the Iowa Farm Bureau annual meeting, Dec. 6-7 in Des Moines. The Institute has prepared over 400 agricultural leaders since 1998.

Sixty day harvest weight limit exemption begins

Governor Terry Branstad signed a proclamation granting a temporary 60-day weight limit exemption for trucks on Iowa roads, effective for 60 days beginning Sept. 20. The proclamation specifically increases the weight allowable for shipment of corn, soybeans, hay, straw and stover, by 12.5% per axle (up to a maximum of 90,000 pounds) without the need for an oversize/overweight permit.

The 2016 proclamation again applies to loads transported on all highways within Iowa, excluding the interstate system. Trucks cannot exceed the truck’s regular maximum by more than 12.5% per axle and must obey the posted limits on all roads and bridges.

The proclamation directs the Iowa Department of Transportation to monitor the operation of the proclamation, assure the public’s safety and facilitate the movement of the trucks involved. Farmers who are transporting grain are also required to follow their vehicle safety standards on axle weights.

Iowa’s solar industry is taking off Iowa’s solar industry is growing with the help of successful policies that create jobs, promote installation and expand businesses. Utilities are constructing solar energy systems, and homeowners and businesses are investing in solar to lower their utility bills.

As of 2015, Iowa had 29 megawatts (MW) of solar energy capacity – enough to power 3,000 homes – and 52 companies in the solar industry.

Enacted in 2012, Iowa’s solar tax incentive offsets up to 15% of the cost of a solar system for businesses and residences, and provides a 50% match to the federal tax incentive. Combined, the state and federal tax credits can cut the cost of a solar system by as much as 45%.

Because of the success and popularity of the program, the Legislature increased solar tax credits in 2015, which have helped finance the installation of solar systems in 92 of Iowa’s 99 counties. Residences qualify for up to $5,000 in tax incentives and businesses for up to $20,000.

We’ve also made available 20 MW of renewable energy production tax credits to promote utility owned solar facilities, and now allow rural cooperatives and municipal solar projects to increase the number of solar facilities they own.

Other state policies are also boosting solar energy in Iowa, including: • Net metering, which allows a solar system owner to sell electricity to their utility.

• Third-party financing agreements that allow customers to lease solar equipment in exchange for the power generated by the system.

These policies help make solar energy systems viable options for homeowners, farmers and businesses that want clean, locally produced energy, while also boosting Iowa’s economy and creating good jobs.

Flood-submerged grain pose management problems

Birdnow

Submitted by Buchanan Co. ISU Extension

According to Dr. Charles R. Hurburgh, Iowa State University professor of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering and professor in charge of the Iowa Grain Quality Initiative, recently flooded fields pose significant problems upon harvest.

Grain submerged by uncontrolled flood waters is considered adulterated under the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act. This policy dates to 2008 when grain storages in Cedar Rapids were inundated, and has been applied to several situations since then. Adulterated material cannot be put in commercial facilities of any type, where there would be a chance of entering human or animal food.

There are flooded (over the grain height) fields in northeast Iowa in 2016.

Possible disposition strategy that does not involve a commercial facility: Corn: 1. Make a 3rd party documentation of the affected area (GPS, photo documentation of water depth). This would probably be done by a crop insurance adjuster, and would have to be done before harvest to preserve insurance coverage.

2. Harvest the grain as soon as possible, to limit further spoilage. Dry immediately to below 14% moisture with as little wet holding time as possible. Isolate both wet and dry grain from other grain.

3. This grain should not be taken to a commercial elevator, warehouse or feed mill.

4. Clean combines, wagons, and handling equipment as completely as possible.

5. Feed in a documented on-farm livestock feeding plan approved by a veterinarian. Test for potential hazards (e.g.: mycotoxins, heavy metals, PCBs, pathogens) appropriate for the species to be fed based knowledge of the flooding situation. Test result documentation and feeding records should be retained.

6. If testing is done, submit at least 10 pounds (shelled) collected from multiple locations across the area of grain that was submerged. Veterinarians have access to the Iowa State University Vet Diagnostic Lab, but there are also commercial laboratories that can analyze for these factors.

Refrigerate the samples and submit as quickly as possible.

Judging for Buchanan Co. Natural Areas Photo Contest is Oct. 10

Kip Ladage of Bremer County will be the judge for the Buchanan County Natural Areas Photo Contest this year. He has authored several books including The Wild Side of Iowa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Collection of Images and Essays. His photos have appeared in Nature Photographer and other magazines. Landscapes, mammals, insects, snakes and birds are among his favorite subjects.

Judging will take place 6:30 PM Monday, Oct. 10 at the lower level of Fontana Park Nature Center, near Hazleton. Everyone is welcome to attend the judging to learn photography tips and hear Kipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s critiques of the entries.

7. This grain should never be fed to dairy animals or laying hens.

8. If an on-farm feeding plan meeting these conditions is not possible, the grain should be destroyed in field or after harvest, using methods accepted by FDA and local health officials.

9. Hay and silage is normally fed on farm; the same testing and feeding plan criteria apply as for corn. Flooded hay should not be baled and taken to a hay auction.

Soybeans: 1. Soybeans have very few direct feed uses. Flooded soybeans should not be taken to an elevator or processing plant.

2. Flooded soybeans should be destroyed unless there is an on-farm operation that could meet the criteria for on farm feeding of corn.

Residents dealing with flood aftermath Northeast Iowa residents are dealing with the aftermath of extreme flooding this week. In addition to the larger cities of Waterloo/Cedar Falls and Cedar Rapids, residents in Buchanan and Delaware Counties were affected.

According to Buchanan County Emergency Manager Rick Wulfekuhle, the assessment of damages in Buchanan County is ongoing. Residents are asked to report damage not yet reported, including name, telephone number and address of damage to their city hall if within city limits and to Buchanan County Emergency Management at 319-334-6411 if outside of city limits.

For information on dealing with flood cleanup, visit http://www.extension.iastate. edu/content/dealing-with-flooding or pick up the guide at Buchanan County Extension (Heartland Acres) or Independence Fire Station.

Flood clean-up kits and bleach are available from the Independence Fire Station. Supplies are limited and will be replenished as donations are available. For those who do not have clean water in their home, check with the Independence Fire Station regarding bottled water.

Do not drink the well water if the well is located in an area flood waters reached or in an area where the groundwater can be influenced by flood waters. Your well should be viewed as unsafe until it has been inspected, shock chlorinated, and tested. Check the Buchanan County Environmental Health website at http://tinyurl.com/BuchananEH or the Emergency Management Flood Cleanup website at http://buchanancountyiowa. org/flood_clean-up_2016.php for further instructions along with a list of certified well contractors. After the well has been shock chlorinated, call Buchanan County Environmental Health at 319-334-2873 to schedule a free well test.

For more information visit Buchanan County Emergency Management website at ww.buchanancountyiowa.org/ema People are often concerned about disease during a flood and subsequent clean-up. Enteric disease, or diseases of the gut that cause vomiting and diarrhea, can be avoided by thoroughly washing hands with soap and running water before eating and at the end of the clean-up day. Do not use contaminated water to clean, wash dishes, prepare food, or make ice and throw away any contaminated or potentially contaminated food. Decrease risk of mosquito and other insect bites by wearing long sleeves and pants and using insect repellent.

Tetanus and hepatitis are two vaccines often questioned during this time. Increases in cases of tetanus and hepatitis have not been associated with flooding. However, floods serve as a good reminder to check immunization records. Tetanus and hepatitis immunizations are routinely recommended for children and adults.

Buchanan County Public Health does not provide adult tetanus vaccines. It is recommended to contact a family healthcare provider if you feel a tetanus booster vaccine is needed. The department provides immunizations for children through the age of 18 if health insurance does not pay for vaccine or the child does not have health insurance.

Call Buchanan County Public Health Department at 319-332-0860 to set up an appointment if your child qualifies.

Amy Marlow, Director of the Buchanan County Public Health Department emphasizes, “Please keep disease in mind during the flood and subsequent clean-up by using practical ways to keep you and your family safe.”
