Iowa students and teachers are starting another school year. Unfortunately, this year our educators and students face even bigger challenges as they try to do more with less.

We’ve got amazing teachers and school leaders striving to do what’s best for our kids, but the Governor’s veto of education funding and the funding delays from Iowa House Republican leadership have made it extremely difficult to keep class sizes low and keep updated textbooks and technology in the classroom.

As a result of the veto, 500,000 Iowa K-12 students will notice outdated textbooks, old technology, and fewer teachers this year. About half of Iowa’s school districts will also be raising property taxes this year to make up the funding shortfall.

Thousands of Iowans are also attending one of Iowa’s 15 community colleges this fall. We know these local colleges play a critical role in building Iowa’s skilled workforce by helping people of all ages get the skills they need to land a good job. However, community college tuition rose again this year and the Governor vetoed additional money approved by the Legislature to keep tuition low.

For the first time in three years, Iowa students attending University of Northern Iowa, Iowa State University, or University of Iowa will be facing higher tuition in January. After lawmakers worked out a deal to freeze tuition for another year, the Governor vetoed the compromise without warning and took away $6 million. Iowa students already carry some of the highest debt in the country so the Governor’s veto means it will take them even longer to pay off their student loans.

It was my honor and a humbling experience to be the State Representative. I appreciate the messages and correspondence I receive from people in the district. You can contact me anytime at bruce.bearinger@legis.iowa.gov or call at 515-281-3221.

Farm to Fork Harvest Celebration – a self-guided farm tour

Scarecrow Contest at Art Under the Oaks

By Ashley Sherrets Ag/Hort Program Coordinator Buchanan Co. ISU Extension

By Roxanne Fuller, Executive Director Buchanan County ISU Extension

The Buchanan County Food Work Team is excited to host the first annual Farm to Fork Harvest Celebration from 1-5 PM on Sept. 27.

While on the self-guided tour you will visit vegetable, poultry and livestock operations, and an apple orchard. The first of the five stops begins in Southeast Buchanan County and includes stops at TD N’ Guy Garden Oasis, Timeless Prairie Orchard, Short Brothers farm, and Winthrop Locker.

The final location is Independence Jr./Sr. High School. A local foods dinner will be served at the Jr./Sr. high beginning at 4 PM and the last meal will be served at 4:30. The school greenhouse and garden will be on display as well.

The Food Work Team is comprised of members from Buchanan Co. ISU Extension and Outreach, Independence Farmers Market, ICSD Farm to School and FFA programs, Buchanan Co. Health Center, Terrance Holub of TD N’ Guy Garden Oasis, and University of Northern Iowa Center for Energy & Environmental Education. The team has worked hard to support local foods programming and activities.

This tour being one of the activities.

So why should you attend? Farm to Fork Harvest Celebration is a chance to see where local food is produced and then taste those delicious foods grown right here in Buchanan County.

The Buchanan County Food Work Team is dedicated to the promotion of buying your food locally. We feed the world, but we forget that we can feed ourselves through local producers.

In 2013, $13,035,445 was the total local foods sales by farmers in Iowa, according to a survey by Regional Food Systems Working Group, a statewide network of 15 local food coordinators. This same survey stated that at least 171 new jobs have been created in Iowa as a result of the local foods sector. More than one-third are full-time jobs. Positions were created in farming, sales and marketing, farm labor, processing, distribution, nutrition education, horticultural education, and culinary arts. Local foods is good for Iowans.

Each location on the tour will provide educational demonstrations on their operations and have fun activities for the family! Pre-registration is requested and there is a small fee of $15 per person, $25 per couple, or $30 per family.

For information and to purchase tickets contact Extension at 319-334-7161 or visit www.extension.iastate.edu/buchanan

Buchanan County Master Gardeners will sponsor a Design a Scarecrow event to draw event-goers to view the Victorian Gardens of the Lee Mansion, a Buchanan Co. Master Gardener project.

Visitors may vote for their favorite scarecrow and a $30 Independence Chamber Dollar prize will be awarded for the one with the highest votes.

3. Scarecrow must be delivered to Lee Mansion Gardens between 8-9 AM Sept. 26 to be set up.

4. The morning of the event, one 4-foot steel fencepost will be provided to support each scarecrow. If your design requires more sophisticated support systems, you are responsible for providing that support system and collecting it at the end of the event.

Living Well with Buchanan County Health Center Control your Cholesterol

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 102 million American adults have a total cholesterol at or above a healthy level (200 mg/dL). What are your cholesterol numbers? September is National Cholesterol Education Month, making it a great time to visit your physician and learn the facts on your cholesterol health.

Cholesterol is a soft, fat-like substance found in your bloodstream and cells.

Your liver produces it naturally in small quantities. Cholesterol often gets a bad name, but a limited amount is essential for maintaining good health. Its main function is the production of cell membranes and certain hormones.

Although most of your cholesterol is produced by your body, we also add cholesterol by the foods that we eat. Meat, poultry, eggs, fish and dairy products are a few of the main contributors of cholesterol in our diets. When the cholesterol we eat is added to what our body produces, the total is often more than what our body needs.

According to the American Heart Association, aim for your total blood cholesterol to be less than 200 mg/dL. Your

HDL cholesterol should be above 40 mg/dL and optimally above 60 mg/dL. Since this is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;goodâ&#x20AC;? cholesterol, the higher the number the better. For the average healthy person, LDL cholesterol (the â&#x20AC;&#x153;badâ&#x20AC;? cholesterolâ&#x20AC;?) should be less than 130 mg/dL. Shoot for that number to be even lower (less than 100 mg/dL) if you are at high risk for heart disease or a heart attack. Lastly, your triglyceride levels should be less than 150 mg/dL to be considered in the normal range.

Control your cholesterol. Although some of your cholesterol numbers can be blamed on genetics, there are many things that you can do to be proactive about lowering your total cholesterol levels. One of your biggest defenses against high cholesterol is to make changes in your diet and exercise regimen. Choose products that are low in saturated fat and are trans fat-free, low in cholesterol, and foods that are good sources of fiber.

Maintain a healthy weight and get plenty of exercise. Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. Also, talk to your doctor about getting regularly scheduled cholesterol screenings.

Iowa Crop Report

Already saturated fields along with heavy rains on Friday limited fieldwork in the State to 3.9 days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending August 30, 2015, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Activities for the week included cutting hay and silage, as well as harvesting oats. Scattered reports of sudden death syndrome and white mold in soybean fields were received.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 6 percent short, 78 percent adequate and 16 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, 7 percent short, 78 percent adequate and 14 percent surplus. Heavy rains in central Iowa raised topsoil and subsoil surplus moisture levels up 13 and 12 percentage points to 28 and 30 percent, respectively.

Ninety-five percent of the corn crop reached the dough stage or beyond, with 57 percent dented or beyond, 3 days ahead of last year, but 3 days behind the 5-year average. Three percent of the corn crop was reported as being mature. Corn condition rated 81 percent good to excellent. Ninety-five percent of soybeans were setting pods or beyond, while 11 percent of soybeans were turning color, 2 days ahead of 2014, but 2 days behind normal. Soybeans dropping leaves were also reported this week by a few reporters. Soybean condition rated 76 percent good to excellent. Oats harvested for grain or seed was virtually complete this week.

The second cutting of alfalfa hay was nearing completion, while the third cutting of alfalfa hay was 67 percent complete, 5 days behind average. Pasture condition rated 66 per-

cent good to excellent. Livestock conditions were reported as generally good, although muddy lots were reported in some areas.

WEATHER SUMMARY It was an unseasonably cool week across Iowa with highly variable rainfall amounts. There was a gradual warming trend during the week with a few locations edging slightly above normal on Thursday (27th) and Sunday (30th). Temperature extremes for the week ranged from Tuesday (25th) morning lows of 40 degrees at Spencer and Sheldon to a Sunday (30th) afternoon high of 85 degrees at Donnellson. The statewide average temperature for the week was 5.9 degrees below normal. Dry weather prevailed statewide from Sunday (23rd) morning through Wednesday (26th) night. Showers and thunderstorms brought rain to all but far southeastern Iowa between Thursday (27th) morning and Saturday (29th) morning. Very heavy rain fell Friday (28th) along and just south of U.S. Highway 20 from Fort Dodge east to Waterloo with four to six inch amounts common. Weekly rain totals varied from only sprinkles at Bloomfield, Fairfield, Mount Pleasant, Burlington, Fort Madison and Keokuk to 6.59 inches at Steamboat Rock in Hardin County. However, unofficial rain totals between 9 and 10 inches were received from southeast Webster and southern Hamilton counties.
