After another year of persistently wet weatherduring the crop growing season, farmers evalu-ate land improvements following an efficientharvest.

Contractors, landowners, and industry expertsweigh in on the subject of ag land drainage.

“Poor drainage was a major factor in lower cornand soybean yields,” Aaron Saeugling, ISU fieldagronomist in southwest Iowa, stated. “Tile paidbig dividends this year.”

In northwest Iowa, poorly drained fieldsshowed reduced soybean yields while the well-drained hillsides seemed to yield the best, headded. The wet conditions led to more SuddenDeath Syndrome, too.

Producers continue to improve drainage and

add tile, Joel DeJong, ISU field agronomist whoserves the area, stated, “The yield monitors havebeen showing the benefits.”

Tiling contractor Kevin Kasperbauer, ofKasperbauer Service, Inc., has noticed an up-tickin business the last four years. Farmers havebeen calling, and saying, “I have a wet spot; comeand fix it.”

Kasperbauer attributes the renewed focus onfield drainage improvements to the comparative-ly wetter weather and greater profitability expe-rienced in the recent past.

However, with the advent of yield monitoringequipment and increased prevalence of the tech-nology, educating producers is becoming moreimportant in Kasperbauer’s business. He hasknown for many years that installing tile in poorproducing areas of fields, including side hills, can

increase yields but now has the objective evi-dence to support the observation.

“Yield monitors show weak spots that willincrease yields 40 to 100 bushels,” Kasperbauerstated, once field drainage tile is installed.

He continued that farmers are already addingthe inputs – fertilizer, seed, and other soilamendments – so why not make the ground pro-duce better?

Kasperbauer retired from farming to focus onKasperbauer Services, Inc., full-time 11 yearsago. He insisted, though, “I’m still a farmer atheart; that’s why I like to do it – for the yield.”

ISU Extension Agriculture Engineering FieldSpecialist Kris Kohl explained, in detail, whydrainage tile works.

Farmers seek balance of investment and profit with tiling

The 2010 harvest proceeded at a near break-neck rate, far ahead of last year’s and the aver-age pace. Iowa State University Extensionagronomists from across western Iowa com-mented on yields, post-harvest priorities, andthe measurable effects of summer flooding.

Aaron Saeugling, who works inPottawattamie, Cass, Adair, Madison, Mills,Montgomery, Adams, Union, Fremont, Page,Taylor, and Ringgold counties, commented that“the biggest thing to be concerned about (now)is not jumping the gun on applying ammonia.”Soil temperatures must be below 50 degrees,and falling, Saeugling insisted. A reliablesource for soil temperatures isextension.agron.iastate.edu/NPKnowledge/soil-temhistory.html.

In the southwest Iowa area he serves,Saeugling has observed soybean yields “fromthe 40s to upper 60s, for the most part.”

He continued, “Corn is variable, as we expect-ed, from field averages of 100 bushels per acreto 200 bushels per acre.”

Considering tillage, Saeugling noted thatduring the past growing season tilled fieldsproduced well but that difference was likelydue to the weather experienced and no twoyears’ weather are the same.

Interestingly, he noted, “The Armstrongresearch farm at Lewis, Iowa, had record rain-fall in October of 2009. For the fall of October2010, it has been the driest October on record.”

Saeugling’s office is located at the CassCounty Extension office in Lewis.

In northwest Iowa Joel DeJong commented,“In my part of the world we have a lot of fieldsthat are highly erodible, and they are not theheavy wet soils that can be found in other partsof Iowa. So, doing tillage just because theweather is good is not always a good idea.” Heasked, “Do we need the tillage? What erosionrisks are we increasing? Can we manage with-out it?”

DeJong, who serves Lyon, Osceola, Sioux,O'Brien, Plymouth, Cherokee, Woodbury, Ida,Monona, and Harrison counties, advised con-sidering each field separately for its needsbecause each field is different.

“I recently read that half of Iowa’s topsoil hasdisappeared in the last 100 years – we need tokeep the remaining half,” DeJong stated. “Wehave improved (tillage practices), over time butthere is still room for more improvement.”

DeJong said that “beans came in dry – almosttoo dry, with reports down to eight percent.”The dryness caused shatter and field loss. Beanyield reports were in the upper 40s in the“heavier soil areas to low 70s in well drainedand manured areas” the majority were in theupper 50s and 60s.

Corn has been coming out of the field withmoisture in the lower teens so almost no drying

has been needed this season. DeJong continuedthat corn yields varied as much as soybeanyields dependent upon soil type from 150 to 220bushels per acre with an overall average in the180s.

John Holmes reminded crop producers thatthe 50 degree soil temperature guidelineapplies to not only anhydrous ammonia butalso liquid hog manure and poultry litter.

Holmes works in Worth, Mitchell, CerroGordo, Floyd, Humboldt, Wright, Franklin,Butler, Webster, Hamilton, Hardin, Grundy,and Story counties in north central Iowa. Forthe next phase of fall field work he “encouragedfarmers not to till entire soybean fields.”

Rather, Holmes continued, “Till ends andareas where ponds developed, but don’t till theentire field. Tilled soybean fields have thepotential to have both wind and water erosion.”

Some crops in Holmes’ coverage area weredamaged by hail; others suffered damage fromstanding water. Those damaged areas yielded40 bushels per acre for soybeans and 140bushels per acre for corn. Better producingareas, typically those with less rain, north ofHighway 18 and south of Highway 20, had soy-bean yields of 55 to 60 and corn yields of 185 to190.

Mark Licht, agronomist in Sac, Calhoun,Crawford, Carroll, Greene, Boone, Shelby,Audubon, Guthrie, Dallas, and Polk counties,noted, “The ground is very hard with nearlyfour weeks of no rainfall…keep in mind the dryconditions may require more attention astillage and anhydrous is applied this fall tomake sure the equipment is handling the hard-er conditions better.”

Since anhydrous will soon be applied, produc-ers should keep in mind that anhydrous willvolatilize with open injection slot.

Licht elaborated that the 50 degree tempera-ture recommendation is so the anhydrous doesnot convert to nitrate and have an increasedpotential for loss.

He has observed “most corn was harvestedwith little need for drying. I heard a fair num-ber of growers who were harvesting corn as lowas 10 percent moisture, up to 17 percent mois-ture. Yields overall are running 10 to 50bushels per acre less than last year for cornand five to 20 bushels per acre less for soy-

beans.“It was the earliest harvested corn that came

out that needed a bit of drying,” Licht added.“But even that was dryer than most corn har-vested last year.”

Concerning storage and input shortages theagronomists stated:

• Saeugling – “The challenge will be if pro-ducers wait until the last minute to purchaseinputs; transportation in a timely mannercould be an issue come spring.”

• DeJong – “There are beans on the groundat some elevators and corn, too, of course. Ihave not heard of input shortages…maybe a lit-tle problem with getting what is needed to theright place on the right day.”

• Holmes – Noted corn piles at local eleva-tors, but added, “Storage is not limited.”

• Licht – “Storage is not as much of an issueas past years, partly because yields are lowerthan past years. Also, with high commodityprices there is a fair amount of corn that hasbeen sold at harvest even though the basis islikely higher than other times in the year.”

The biggest weather effect observed in north-west Iowa, Saeugling reported, is a lack of goodweed control in some fields. “Poor drainage wasa major factor in lower corn and soybeanyields,” he continued. “Tile paid big dividendsthis year.”

DeJong shared, “Lots of fields have erosionrills in them from the heavy rains from 2010.Additionally, we know that areas near severalrivers flooded and crops were lost.”

In northwest Iowa, poorly drained fieldsshowed reduced soybean yields while the welldrained hillsides seemed to yield the best, headded. The wet conditions led to more SuddenDeath Syndrome, too.

Producers continue to improve drainage andadd tile, DeJong stated, “The yield monitorshave been showing the benefits.”

In west central Iowa, Licht noted, “Yieldswere more variable than normal this year.” Healso noted the prevalence of Sudden DeathSyndrome in soybeans but said that his cover-age area was not as affected by the disease ascentral and southeastern Iowa.

“This pathogen (SDS) does well in wet condi-tions, especially from germination to the firstTri-foliate. Foliar fungicides and seed treat-ment are not effective control measures. Thebest course of action is to look for varieties thatshow the most tolerance,” Licht advised.

According to the USDA National AgriculturalStatistics Service, as of October 31, statewide,94 percent of corn had been harvested in Iowa;the five year average is 71 percent and only 17percent had been harvest as of the same time in2009.

The soybean harvest was 99 percent completeas of Sunday; the statewide five year average is86 percent and 53 percent of soybeans wereharvested as of Halloween in 2009.

Harvest for many done way early

“Poor drainage was amajor factor in lowercorn and soybeanyields.”

IDED grant serves as incentive

By Marlys Barker, Nevada Journal

Big news from the Iowa Department ofEconomic Development (IDED) was announcedOctober 2l, and the news included Nevada.

Nevada was one of seven Iowa communitiesthat will receive awards from the IDED to sup-port eight companies that are proposing plansto come to the state or to expand current Iowafacilities.

Proposed for Nevada is a cellulosic ethanolbio-refinery that would be built by DuPont-Danisco Cellulosic Ethanol. If the companyfinalizes plans to come to Nevada, it will receive$5 million in direct financial assistance fromthe value-added agricultural component of theGrow Iowa Values Financial AssistanceProgram.

Nevada Economic Development DirectorLaVon Schiltz said the proposed project hasbeen in the works for about four months, butthat she has been working under a tight confi-dentiality agreement which occurs when work-ing with IDED.

"This particular project is a perfect fit forwhat I call the ’15-mile renewable energy corri-dor’ reaching from Iowa State University's NewCentury Farm to ISU in Ames to the BECONresearch center in Nevada's West IndustrialPark and finally to Lincolnway Energy ethanolplant,” Schiltz said. “Lincolnway Energy hasdrawn much positive attention to theNevada/Story County area regarding successfulrenewable energy technology. LincolnwayEnergy has been, from its inception, one of themost premier, productive, efficient and wellmanaged ethanol facilities in the nation.”

She stated that the DuPont Danisco projectwas sponsored by Nevada in seeking IDEDfunds.

If it locates in Nevada, DuPont DaniscoCellulosic Ethanol would expect to create 65jobs and help retain two current jobs. Initially,the facility is expected to produce 25 to 50 mil-lion gallons of cellulosic ethanol each year.

DuPont Danisco Cellulosic Ethanol wasformed in 2008 as a joint venture of DuPont andDanisco's Genencor division and aims to be theworld's leading cellulosic ethanol company.

Schiltz noted that Nevada is in competitionwith several other Midwest sites. Final sitedecision should come before the end of the year.

"We are extremely pleased that Nevada isunder consideration for this "Next Generation

energy" technology project,” she stated.

Other seven projects listedThe following are the other seven projects

approved for the IDED awards:• $450,000 in direct assistance through the

Grow Iowa Values Financial AssistanceProgram to Marsh Inc., a subsidiary of Seabury& Smith, for an expansion that would add 150new employees in Newton. The company is theworld's largest insurance broker and risk advis-er, serving clients in more than 100 countries.Subsidiary, Marsh U.S. Consumer, has Iowafacilities in Urbandale, Des Moines and Newtonwith approximately 1,200 employees. The proj-ect represents a $1.3 million capital invest-ment.

• $1 million in direct financial assistancethrough the Grow Iowa Values FinancialAssistance Program to nutritional food and feedingredient manufacturer Kemin Industries foran expansion of its Des Moines operations. Thecompany plans a $29.6 million capital invest-ment that includes a new worldwide headquar-ters office, six manufacturing buildings,research and development buildings, and green-houses. A total of 98 jobs are expected to be cre-ated, 58 of which are supported by state incen-tives. Kemin Industries makes a variety ofproducts, including mold inhibitors, syntheticand natural antioxidants, antimicrobials, fla-vors, minerals and lutein. The company's prod-ucts are used in markets such as animal agri-culture, food ingredients, pharmaceuticals,nutraceuticals, and pet food. The IDED boardalso awarded tax benefits through theEnterprise Zone program.

• $500,000 in direct financial assistance fromthe Grow Iowa Values Financial AssistanceProgram to Genencor, a division of Danisco A/S,to expand its Cedar Rapids operations. Thecompany plans a $37.9 million capital invest-ment that includes two building additions,adding and updating machinery, equipment andinfrastructure to increase production capacityfor new product demand. Plans also includebringing on line the latest technology platformsto boost the competitive position of the CedarRapids plant. The project is expected to create13 new jobs and support 25 current positions.The IDED board also approved Enterprise Zonetax incentives for the project.

• $250,000 royalty agreement, from the entre-preneurial component of the Grow Iowa ValuesFinancial Assistance Program, to softwaredeveloper Fastek International for its ElectricalPower Management System. This $100,000 cap-ital investment will support the creation of 11new jobs. The company has identified a busi-

ness opportunity in the U.S. military and secu-rity forces' need for an "on-board universalpower source" on government vehicles. Thosepower sources are used to power aircraft, heli-copters and data and command centers in thefield. Currently, a cart is rolled behind a utilityvehicle to support the need for power. Fastek'spower management system can deliver twicethe power of the current power system, reducethe weight requirement and eliminate the needfor trailers.

• $150,000 in direct financial assistancethrough the Grow Iowa Values FinancialAssistance Program to General EnvironmentalCompanies to open a facility in Oskaloosa thatprocesses cracked eggshells. The award willsupport the creation of 11 new jobs. Plans callfor the company to lease a building and obtain asingle-pass cyclone turbine technology systemto process the eggshells. Membrane obtainedfrom the process can be used for cosmeticcreams and vitamin products. Calcium carbon-ate powder from the eggshells is sold for manyindustrial, health and environmental uses. Theaward comes from the Grow Iowa ValuesFinancial Assistance Program’s Value-AddedAgriculture Component. The IDED board alsoawarded tax benefits through the EnterpriseZone program to support this $1.2 million capi-tal investment.

• $50,000 in direct financial assistancethrough the Grow Iowa Values FinancialAssistance Program to Maharishi AyurvedaProducts International to relocate its Coloradowarehouse, distribution and management oper-ations to Fairfield. A total of 19 jobs will be cre-ated or retained, nine of which will be support-ed by this award. The project includes retro-fitting an existing building and represents a$1.5 million capital investment. The research,manufacturing and global distribution companyspecializes in ayurvedic herbal supplements,tea, gourmet food items, therapeutic aroma oils,personal care products and organic clothing.The IDED board also approved Enterprise Zonetax benefits for the project.

• PathoVacs, Inc., a startup technology firmlocated in Ames, was approved for $75,000 ofsupport from the Iowa Demonstration Fund.PathoVacs is based on a vaccine developmenttechnology referred to as PELS (Proteomics-based Expression Library Screening). PELSreduces the cost and timeframe of antigen dis-covery - the crucial and first major component ofvaccine development. This Demonstration Fundaward will assist the company in advancing theexperimental vaccine through clinical trials,manufacturing and distribution.

I knew it was a badidea when my familytalked me into it. Whatcould go wrong with mein the combine, my dadin the catch wagon, andmy husband doing thetrucking? The fact thatwe’re ALL wound just alittle tighter than thegeneral population mayhave had a bit to dowith it. Or it could havebeen that my dad wasan only child, and myhusband and I were theoldest children, so weare all pretty used togetting our own ways?

I tried to get out of it.Really.

I said I had to stay bythe house and take careof our children. Mymom volunteered totake them for the week-end.

I said I had a lot ofdishes to do, and that Ineeded to clean thekitchen. Dad woke up atthe crack of dawn, andhad nearly all of thedishes done by the timeI woke up thatSaturday.

I had nothing else.No more game.I had to suck it up and

jump in the combine.The boys went to thefield first, and I was toget there a bit later.When I arrived, my dadwas dumping the catch

wagon into the graintruck so I hitched a rideto the combine with himso my husband could“teach” me once againhow to run the combine.

It’s not like it’s brainsurgery. I’ve run it a lit-tle bit every coupleyears. It’s like riding abike, right? Once youknow how, you can jumpright in. Each time, Ihumor him so he can“teach” me again.

His other issue waswith me being able toopen a new path in thefield, which he didn’tthink I could do. Again,it’s not rocket science.Count it, look at it, andfind the right one.

Here are a couple tid-bits I gleaned from dadon the drive to the com-bine. First, my husbandwashed all the windowsin the combine so itwouldn’t be dusty forme. Before you all col-lectively let a lovesicksigh out, wait. Second,he removed two – yesTWO – bags of trashfrom inside the com-bine. Two. How can oneperson have that muchtrash in such a small,confined space?

“She’s not going tolike this,” he told dad ashe bagged up the trash.

Once I got to the com-bine, we had to do a cou-

ple laps so he could“teach” me how to runit. Again. I also madehim cut a new path sohe would be happy thatit would be done right.Then, he left to truckthe grain back to thebins on the farm.

First, I found theradio didn’t work verywell, or the air condi-tioning. To top it off, thetwo-way radio also hada bit of a glitch, so Icouldn’t use that! Thiswas going to be a longday!

The first couple laps,I was able to dump onthe go with dad, until Idiscovered a glitch inmy husband’s countingability. It was a row off.So, I was a little madthat I couldn’t dump onthe go, thus wastingtime to dump becausethe end two rows werespaced a little closertogether.

(Remember when Isaid we’re wound a littletighter? Think of a TypeA personality, and windit a bit more. We canmake the regular TypeA people look like C’s.)

Of course, I called himon it, and then left theextra row in the field fora few laps because I wasjust mad that it was off.

After a couple hours ofwork, he called to ask

what I wanted forlunch. My options were:a tenderloin, a tender-loin, or a tenderloin.Guess what I picked? Itold him I wanted mayo,mustard and pickles onit. When he brought itout to the field, it hadketchup. Who putsketchup on a tender-loin? He said they didn’thave mustard, so hesubstituted ketchup.Yuck! No substitutions!

Since he had anotherhelper in the field, I leftin search of a betterlunch and left the extraketchup-ruined tender-

loin to the boys to fightover.

Dad thought this wasoh, so funny, as he toldmy mom that I leftbecause I had ketchupon my sandwich.

The next day, Iplanned ahead and bor-rowed my son’s MP3player so I could listento music. Let’s face it.Driving a piece ofmachinery back andforth through the fieldis boring. I found thatlistening to the CharlieDaniels Band actuallymakes the time gofaster.

As I turned around atthe end of the field tocome back, I saw mydad and husband stand-ing in the field talkingto each other. What? Ithought I was supposedto be helping, not be theonly one doing the work.Perhaps we shouldrethink this wholething.

I know I’ll have tohelp again in the future,so I’d like a fewupgrades to the com-bine, including a cupholder, surround sound,a DVD player, a mini-fridge, and maybe amassaging chair.

A girl’s gotta have alittle bit of comfort,right?

USDA’s Natural Resources ConservationService (NRCS) provided more than $41 million infinancial assistance in fiscal year 2010 to Iowafarmers through two of USDA’s most popular 2008Farm Bill financial assistance programs – theEnvironmental Quality Incentives Program(EQIP) and the Conservation StewardshipProgram (CSP).

EQIP is a voluntary conservation program thatpromotes agricultural production and environ-mental quality. Iowa NRCS obligated more than$20.8 million through 1,267 contracts covering79,374 acres to farmers in all 99 counties throughEQIP. This program offers financial and technicalassistance to install or implement structural, veg-etative and management practices on eligibleagricultural land. Examples of conservation prac-tices typically eligible through EQIP include ter-races, residue management (no-till), grassedwaterways, waste storage facilities, prescribedgrazing, and nutrient and pest management.

Winneshiek County in northeast Iowa led thestate in EQIP funding with more than $1.2 millionin financial aid through 37 contracts covering2,385 acres. Next was neighboring AllamakeeCounty with $666,963 through 25 contracts on1,208 acres. Union County in southwest Iowa wasthird in EQIP funding with $582,325 through 15contracts on 1,578 acres. Other notable accom-plishments include Plymouth County with 4,819acres contracted and Wayne County with 41 totalEQIP contracts.

CSP is a voluntary conservation program thatencourages producers to address resource con-cerns in a comprehensive manner by undertaking

additional conservation activities and improving,maintaining, and managing existing conservationactivities. CSP pays participants for conservationperformance – the higher the performance, thehigher the payment. Iowa NRCS obligated morethan $20.2 million through 1,480 contracts cover-ing 797,605 acres through CSP in fiscal year 2010.

Winneshiek County also led in CSP for 2010with more than $1.5 million in financial assis-tance through 108 contracts on more than 43,000acres. Webster County finished with more than$1.1 million in aid through 59 contracts on morethan 35,000 acres. Pocahontas was third in IowaCSP funding with $739,853 in 52 contracts onmore than 27,000 acres.

The Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program(WHIP) is a voluntary program that providesfinancial assistance to private and publiclandowners to establish wildlife habitat. ThroughWHIP, Iowa NRCS provided more than $700,000in financial assistance through 106 contracts cov-ering 3,464 acres to Iowans. NRCS works to devel-op a wildlife habitat management plan with eachlandowner. Projects focused on establishing habi-tat for threatened and endangered species ordeclining species receive a higher priority.

Allamakee County led the state in WHIP fund-ing with $78,618 in assistance through nine con-tracts on 113 acres. Plymouth County led the statein acres with 653 contracted acres worth $69,346of assistance through six contracts. MonroeCounty finished with $64,235 in funding throughfive contracts that cover 535 acres.

NRCS announces Farm Bill financial assistance program 2010 results

More than 1,300 farmers participated in the2010 Iowa Farm and Rural Life Poll, offeringtheir views on community and economic devel-opment issues affecting rural communitiesacross Iowa and the Midwest.

The 2010 Summary Report, PM 3007, can bedownloaded at no cost from the Iowa StateUniversity Extension Online Store, www.exten-sion.iastate.edu/store/.

On average, the participating farmers were64 years old, and 48 percent earned more thanhalf of their income from farming, said ISUExtension Sociologist J. Gordon Arbuckle Jr.,who co-directs the survey with ISU ExtensionSociologist Paul Lasley.

Much of the 2010 survey focused on communi-ty and economic development issues, Arbucklesaid. The summary report presents data onchanges in perceptions about rural communitylife over time, including trends in quality oflife, neighboring, access to services and com-merce, and population change. The 2010 surveyalso examines farmers’ perspectives on Iowaprospects for agritourism, a potential source ofeconomic development.

Conducted every year since its establishmentin 1982, the Farm Poll is the longest-running

survey of its kind in the nation, Arbuckle said.ISU Extension, the Iowa Agriculture and HomeEconomics Experiment Station, the IowaDepartment of Agriculture and LandStewardship, and the Iowa AgriculturalStatistics Service are all partners in the FarmPoll effort.

One of the unique and important characteris-tics of the Farm Poll is that its longevity allowsfor tracking changes over time, Arbuckle said.“This year we looked back to assess howresponses regarding community life and neigh-boring have changed over the years. We hadasked the same sets of questions in 1984, 1990,1996, 2006 and 2010. This year we analyzedsome of the changes over time.”

Results were mixed in 2010, as well as whenviewed over the past three decades, Arbucklesaid. “Most of the declines appear to be relatedto changes in the social fabric of rural commu-nities, whether from population loss or aninflux of new residents as people have moved torural areas to live on acreages or seek employ-ment. Both population loss and the arrival ofnew residents can change the ways that neigh-bors relate to each other.”

However, Arbuckle also noted positive trends.In 2010, farmers indicated they had slightlymore time to visit with their neighbors and tobe active in community affairs. While not majorshifts, the trends suggest that farmers perceivemodest improvements over the last threedecades.

“Assessments of quality of life were alsoencouraging,” Arbuckle noted. “Eighty-threepercent of farmers reported that their qualityof life had either remained the same orimproved over the last five years, and 79 per-cent indicated that their quality of life wouldeither stay the same or improve over the nextfive years. Despite the deep recession and somedifficult weather-related events, Iowa farmersfeel like they and their families maintainedtheir quality of life and are optimistic about thefuture.”

The 2010 Iowa Farm and Rural Life Poll sum-mary report, as well as previous summary andtopical reports are available to download fromthe ISU Extension Online Store (www.exten-sion.iastate.edu/store/) and ExtensionSociology (www.soc.iastate.edu/extension/farm-poll.html).

What is the most critical problem facing today’sorganic grower? The USDA’s Invasive WeedManagement Unit says the answer is weeds. Theyrob fields of moisture, compete with crops fornutrients, reduce yields and drive up costs.

But a number of innovative research projectsare underway to improve tried and true weed con-trol strategies and to explore new alternativesthat can benefit organic crops.

A few examples: The Global Change andPhotosynthesis Research Unit of USDA’sAgricultural Research Service is exploring practi-cal ways to reduce the persistence of weed seeds –a long-standing goal for weed scientists.Researchers at Ohio State and Purdue universi-ties are also exploring ways to reduce the weedseed bank, while the University of Maine isexploring how to control weeds through improvedcrop rotation techniques. Researchers at the sameuniversities are working with the University ofCalifornia at Davis and Wageningen University inThe Netherlands on a USDA-sponsored project toredesign extension programming for organic weedmanagement. They are developing a best practicesmodel that integrates scientific knowledge with

the indigenous knowledge of experienced organicfarmers.

One particularly innovative project underway inCalifornia involves a prototype cultivation devicethat uses “machine vision” to attack weeds grow-ing in the crop row. According to Steve Fennimore,extension vegetable weed specialist with theUniversity of California at Davis, a video cameramounted on the front of a specially designed culti-vator captures images of the crop row and passesthem to a computer for precise alignment. Theblades of the cultivator can then pass down therow and precisely remove weeds without causingdamage to the crop.

“The prototype is expensive, so it requires a bitof a leap of faith,” Fennimore said. “But we’vebeen able to reduce hand weeding in lettuce,tomato and celery crops by as much as 40 per-cent.”

Fennimore is quick to point out that the sameinnovative technology holds potential for conven-tional growers as well.

“Other than herbicides, the toolbox of availableweed management practices is the same for allgrowers,” he stated. “Effective weed controlrequires an integrated approach based on knowl-edge of each crop and the weeds that threaten it.”

In a survey conducted online by researchers atRodale Institute, 85 percent of the organic grow-ers responding use at least three weed manage-

ment strategies – and most use six. The top sixpractices are hand weeding, mechanical control,mulches, cover crops, crop rotation and denseplanting. These practices remove weeds, preventthem from being competitive or, in the case of croprotation, inhibit weeds that prefer the growingconditions associated with certain crops.

But some of these techniques also have draw-backs. Farmers who rely on hand-weeding know itis a labor-intensive process. And the disadvan-tages of extensive mechanical control (tillage) arewell-documented in some types of crops and fields.Tillage can promote soil erosion and rob the soil ofmoisture. According to the National SustainableAgriculture Information Service (ATTRA), it alsocan disturb soil biology, increase runoff, decreasewater infiltration, damage soil structure and eveninvite weeds by exposing bare ground. Such draw-backs heighten the need for scientific researchfocused on sustainable weed management alter-natives.

“Research that advances our knowledge of thebiology, ecology and management of weeds is fun-damental to success on any farm, and it is vitalthat we do more of it,” Fennimore said. “Scientificinvestigation gives us a broader base of tools thatcan be used successfully — regardless of the sizeof the operation or whether a farmer chooses con-ventional or organic growing practices.”

Scientists pursue sustainable weed control alternatives in organic production

Sunco has been building planter attachmentsfor more than 25 years. The goal at Sunco isand always has been producing equipment tomake farming more efficient, cost effective andprofitable.

Over the years we have seen many changesand improvements to farming practices andfarm implements. Sunco planter attachmentshave been part of these improvements. This isevident with the introduction of the Nutri Mate3.

Like the NutriMate II, the NutriMate 3 unitis designed to be mounted to the row unit of theplanter. The parallel links of the planter let theNutriMate 3 float and the row unit gaugewheels provide depth control so nutrients areprecisely placed in relation to the seed.

The unique frame design allows the discs tobe pulled through the field instead of beingpushed, and the discs are allowed to pivotslightly to the left or right to keep the fertiliz-er opener discs trailing properly on curves andcontours. This feature improves planter track-

ing, reduces bearing and disc fatigue, pluseliminates stress on the planter parallel link-age.

With the introduction of the new NutriMate3, producers can take advantage of theseimprovements; a diaphragm check valve,stronger and redesigned pivot point, easieradjustments and enhanced fertilizer place-ment, and the ability to place fertilizer on bothsides of the seed. Distance choices are 2", 27/8", 3 3/4" from the seed and depth 1/2" above,1/2" below, and 1 1/2" below the seed.

The Sunco NutriMate 3 can be mounted onJohn Deere, Case IH, White, Kinze, GreatPlains, and some Monosem planters, and worksin conventional, minimum till, strip till and no-till farming.

Lean hog trade has been higher this week due toprofit taking by market shorts. The weekly netchange is $.57 higher on the December contractand February is up $.62. Cash prices have beenmostly steady this week after falling below $60last week, but pork carcass values have jumpedmore than $3 in the last two sessions. Processingmargins remain adequate, but fundamental itemsremain bearish; the combination of large seasonalhog supplies and poor demand was reflected in theweekly cold storage numbers. Weekly belly in-movement totaled nearly 5 million pounds, whichis almost 4 times more than the amount stored lastyear. The trade was oversold yesterday and thatmay have been responsible for the sharply higherfutures.Hedgers call with questions.

WHEAT 11/04/10Wheat trade has been lower this week due

profit taking by market longs and limited freshsupportive information. Range bound tradeseems likely ahead of next Tuesday’s USDASupply and Demand Report. The Russian AgMinistry announced on Wednesday that harvestis 98% complete and only 63.4 million tons ofgrain have been harvested this year versusnearly 100 million tons last year. Of the 63.4million tons, the wheat crop is estimated to beabout 43.2 million tons. The Ministry alsoannounced that winter grain plantings havetotaled 14.6 million hectares, down 3 millionfrom last year. Some private analysts thereestimated last week that exports of all grainsnext year will not exceed 7 million tons due toreduced production and the need to replace gov-ernment stocks. The trade has been discussingthis information for months now, so this shouldbe priced-in. Wheat will need to see consistentdemand in order to continue upward. Theweekly export sales were reported at 565,500tons, which was within expectations. Theprogress report listed 92% of the winter wheatcrop planted versus the 88% 5-year average.The crop conditions came in at 46% good toexcellent versus 47% last week and 64% a yearago. Hedgers call with questions.

CATTLE 11/04/10Live cattle trade has been lower this week

due to long liquidation and lower cash trade.The weekly net change was $1.12 lower on theDecember contract and February is down $1.Cash trade has developed at $98 this week,which is $2 lower versus last week. The bulk ofthe trade is still expected to develop byThursday. The cutout finished higher on loweron Wednesday with choice down $.38 at $159.87and select was down$.02 at $153.16. On theDecember chart, the 100-day moving average

should serve as major support area, it is downat 9745. Hedgers call with questions.

CORN 11/04/10Corn trade has been mixed this week due to posi-

tion squaring ahead of next week’s USDA Supplyand Demand report. China’s Quarantine Bureaurejected a cargo of US corn early this week after itwas suspected to contain trace amounts of GMOmaterial not approved there. This created someearly selling interest, but chart buying and outsidemarket support have forced trade to rebound atmidweek. The November USDA Supply andDemand Report will be released next Tuesday;position squaring should continue to direct tradethis week. FC Stone released their updated yieldprojection at 154.1 bushels per acre on Monday.Informa estimated production at 155 bushels peracre on Tuesday which was down .8 bushels fromthe current USDA number and down 5.3 bushelsfrom their previous estimate. Outside marketinfluence should continue to direct trade near-term, but the long-term focus will remain on theUSDA and their upcoming November yield esti-mates, South American weather, and Chineseimport activity. The Monday afternoon progressreport listed the corn harvest at 91% complete ver-sus the 61% 5-year average and only 24% last year.The weekly export sales were reported at 46,600tons for the 2010/2011 year. The sales were withinexpectations, but the data to date suggests our cur-rent USDA export number is overstated. Thethought at this time though, is that the poor qual-ity world wheat is fulfilling world feed demandalong with DDGs and corn sales will pick up as wemove forward. Hedgers call with questions.

SOYBEANS 11/04/10Soybean trade has been mixed this week. The week-

ly net change is 1 higher on November beans.December meal is up $1.20 and oil is 60 points high-er. China released positive updated economic dataearlier this week which should continue to promote aweaker US dollar. This will help sustain the bullishimport pace for US grains there. In fact, China’sCommerce ministry announced on Tuesday that soy-bean imports will likely top 4.5 million tons thismonth which is up from the previous estimate of 4.1million tons. Chinese customs data also showed lastweekend that Chinese soybean imports have totaled40.16 million tons for the year, which is up 24% fromlast year. The FED announced after the close onWednesday that interest rates will remain unchangedfor the foreseeable future. The Fed also announcedadditional plans for quantitative easing of an addi-tional $600 billion by the middle of next year.Additional quantitative easing likely means arenewed emphasis on buying hard assets, which couldlead to additional fund buying in grains, metals, ener-gies et all. This announcement also pushed the dollarsharply lower overnight which will only continue tosupport the bullish sentiment surrounding Chineseimport activity. The weekly export sales were report-ed at 1.59 million tons which was within expectations.Meal sales came in at 165,600, and oil sales saw netcancelations of 32,600 tons. Meal sales were withinexpectations while oil sales were certainly disappoint-ing.. Demand trends remain friendly but soybeanyields are expected to increase on the Novemberreport. FC stone raised their bean estimate Mondayafternoon to 44.9 bushels per acre which was up fromthe current USDA estimate of 44.4 bushels per acre.Informa’s estimate was released Tuesday at 44.6bushels per acre. The progress report listed the soy-bean harvest at 96% complete versus the 79% 5-yearaverage and 50% number a year ago. Hedgers callwith questions.

Results of the 2010 Iowa Crop PerformanceTests for corn and soybeans are now availableon the web at http://www.croptesting.iastate.edu.

Administered jointly by Iowa StateUniversity and the Iowa Crop ImprovementAssociation (ICIA), the program providesdirect, unbiased comparisons among hundredsof corn hybrids and soybean varieties grown indozens of environments. The tests contain abroad sampling of traits, seed treatments,maturity ranges, and elite germplasm frommultiple sources.

“There is no other way to get this data withthis degree of high quality plot management,statistical integrity and timely access to infor-

mation,” said Jim Rouse, executive director ofICIA. “For nearly a century, these trials havehelped Iowa farmers conduct their seed selec-tion homework.”

Growers use the data to make hybrid andvariety selection decisions. The tests containthe widest range of options available to grow-ers, making the reports one of the very fewplaces to get head-to-head comparisons of somany different hybrids and varieties.

Rouse noted that the Iowa Crop PerformanceTests are backed by an extensive history of per-formance testing, and the credibility offered bythe ICIA, Iowa State University Extension andIowa State University.

ICIA is the official seed-certifying agency of

Iowa, and is closely affiliated with theDepartment of Agronomy at Iowa StateUniversity. The mission of ICIA is to provide anunbiased source of service and education inproduction and quality assurance for Iowa agri-cultural crops. ICIA has provided seed certifi-cation services for more than 100 years, andcrop performance testing services for over 90years. The association’s membership is com-posed of farmers, seed producers and othersinterested in crop improvement. ICIA is a mem-ber of the Association of Official SeedCertifying Agencies, a worldwide network ofservice organizations dedicated to serving theneeds of the global agricultural industry.

Subsurface drainage, commonly known as agtile systems, is an important part of agricultur-al systems in Iowa.

A drainage workshop planned for Decemberwill examine various aspects of farmlanddrainage, according to Iowa State Universityengineers who will conduct the workshop.

The 2010 Drainage Workshop will cover thebasics of planning a new drainage system orretrofitting an existing system. Economic andlong-term benefits of tiling of interest to pro-ducers, drainage contractors, landowners andothers interested in farmland drainage alsowill be discussed.

“To function most efficiently, all componentsof a subsurface drainage system should bedesigned to work together for optimum efficien-cy,” said Kapil Arora, ISU Extension agricultur-al engineer. “While the economic benefits of

tiling are well recognized, there are also envi-ronmental impacts from drainage.”

New technologies that may be useful in mini-mizing environmental impacts will be dis-cussed at the workshop, Arora added.

A morning session will focus on drainage con-cepts, economics and long term benefits oftiling. The afternoon session will include dis-cussions on implications of drainage watermanagement, compliance with USDA-NRCSrequirements, discussions on controlleddrainage, bioreactors, and managing drainagewater quality with wetlands.

The same workshop will be offered at threelocations. All programs begin at 9 a.m. andadjourn at 3:30 p.m. The dates and locationsaree:

• December 7, Comfort Inn & Suites, 910West 16th Street, Pella

• December 8, Clover Hall, Greene CountyFairgrounds, East Lincoln Way, Jefferson

• December 10, The Northeast Iowa DairyFoundation, 1527 Highway 150 South, Calmar

The program is sponsored by Iowa StateUniversity Extension, industry partners andUnited States Department of Agriculture –Natural Resources Conservation Service.

The pre-registration fee, including lunch andrefreshments, is $35 for those registered byDecember 1. Registrations after the pre-regis-tration deadline will be $45. Walk-in registra-tions will be accepted only if space is available.

Registration information is available onlineat www.extension.iastate.edu/story or by call-ing ISU Extension – Story County Office at515- 382-6551.

FARMERS SEEK BALANCE OF INVESTMENT...Continued from page 1

Kasperbauer Service, Inc., is a family businesswhich provides tiling service in the spring and fallaround Vail and Manning. Theresa Kasperbauerdrives a tractor hauling a roll of tile, DennyKasparbauer and son-in-law Aaron Kautzky beginpreparing the tile for installation. KasperbauerService, Inc., also provides plumbing, heating, andelectrical contracting services. Photos by EmmaStruve.

Kevin Kasperbauer and Aaron Kautzky, withKasperbauer Service, Inc., drive two tractors toinstall drainage tile in a field in central CrawfordCounty. In areas like this one, where the grade isvirtually flat, the contractors utilize a laser guid-ance system on the plow to ensure proper fall in thetile. The tractors are hooked together as power fromboth is required to make it through the muck.

Kevin Kasperbauer sets up a laser guidance systembefore installing tile. The system sets a line for theplow to follow and then guides the hydraulics of theimplement installing the tile. To begin, Kasperbauersets the start and end point and verifies the grade. Hehas been offering tiling services for 20 years, andthrough Kasperbauer Service for 11.

Running 4,500 feet of drainage tile through low-lying ground on Keith Eck’s farm in CrawfordCounty, contractor Kevin Kasperbauer endeavors tomake the ground cultivatable

Mike Welch hired a contractor to install drainagetile in a virtually flat field near Dow City inCrawford County. Due to standing water in thefield in 2010, approximately 15 acres of the cropwere lost. Photo submitted

“In this area of Iowa we roughly get eight inch-es of excess moisture per year,” he began. “Abouthalf goes off the top as surface water.” The remain-ing four inches have to be removed through seep-age into the soil.

“Plants have to breathe,” Kohl continued. Plantroots standing in saturated soil for as little asthree to four days will be dead. Additionally, if theroots are not completely killed off, but only par-tially, before the area drains, should the plantneed water in the future it may not have an ade-quate root system. The plant can then die ofdrought in an area that was just recently floodedor saturated.

Installing tile gives a place for the excess waterin saturated soil to go.

“The drain doesn’t have to remove very muchwater, but allows air to be pulled into the groundso plants don’t die,” Kohl stated.

Kohl conceded that installation of ag-landdrainage tile is going to change Iowa’s hydrology.Where it is installed “the soils are no longer hydric(lacking oxygen),” Kohl stated.

However, he continued, “I can’t think of any-thing, from a production side, as an advantagefrom having them (swampy areas).”

In early November, Kasperbauer and his crew ofthree others in the family business were at theKeith Eck farm between Vail and Denison inCrawford County.

Here, Kasperbauer and Eck were attempting todrain a nearly flat, five-acre portion of virgingrassland.

“It has never been farmed all the way to thecreek,” Eck stated, after again contemplating thelay of the land the day of the project.

Eck will resume farming this portion of theground owned by his folks, that had been rentedthis year, which provided part of the incentive.

He explained that additional incentive to tile itnow is that with $5 per bushel corn, and an antic-ipated yield approaching 200 bushels per acre, theproject will pay for itself in three years.

The irregular parcel will also be easier to man-age when the wet area is dried and squared off.

Likewise Mike Welch, grain and livestockfarmer in western Crawford County, is forecastingthat a tiling project installed on a farm near DowCity will yield a return on investment in about thesame time period.

The drainage project, a first for Welch, wasinstalled this fall on a flat piece of ground thatencompassed about 15 acres where rainwaterpooled and damaged crops in previous years. The

tile is expected to more rapidly drain the subsoilbefore crop damage results when excess precipita-tion accumulates, he explained.

“It costs the same amount for inputs with orwithout getting a crop off,” Welch noted.

The recently-improved farmland has been in theWelch family since 1991. The impetus to installdrainage tile now came because Welch, as manyfarmers are doing, is looking to either purchase orrent more acres to farm. However, the acres arehard to come by and renting produces slim mar-gins.

Welch focuses, instead, on increasing productiv-ity of acres currently in operation. The recentincreased grain prices provide opportunity forincreased return on investment, too.

He insists that this first tiling experience is atrial and he consulted with other conservative-minded neighbors before making the investment.Welch started with ground that typically yieldsmore than 200 bushels per acre. If the project pro-duces as anticipated, he expects to make futureinvestments on high producing ground, followedby lesser producing ground

Ag drainage has become a complicated issueremarked Bruce Atherton, agricultural engi-neer with the USDA Natural ResourceConservation Service.

Historically, producers tiled fields toimprove spring trafficability for earlier plant-ing, a virtually undisputable benefit.

Critics of the practice, Atherton related, say“A lot of people think (tiling) increases flood-ing.”

But, he continued, “It doesn’t necessarily dothat.”

For example, tile installed in a flat field willtypically reduce surface run-off, instead itsimply changes how water gets to a stream.

While there is a whole list of benefits toinstalling ag drainage tile, an emerging con-cern is the transport of soluble nutrients,such as nitrogen, into Iowa waterways.

Several options are available to mitigatenitrogen infiltration, Atherton explained:

• Installation of drainage water man-agement structures. These structures areinstalled in the tile and block the main tileline during certain times of the year whendrainage is not essential. This strategyreduces nitrogen run-off by 30-40%.

• Run tile-line outflow through a deni-trifying bioreactor. This emerging strategy isbeing intensely researched by the IowaSoybean Association and Iowa StateUniversity. According to an Iowa StateUniversity publication, “A bioreactor is alarge trench through which water from under-ground drainage tiles passes before leavingthe field. This trench is filled with organicmatter high in carbon, in this case a mix ofchips from various hardwoods that act as a

strainer for the water coming from the tile.The wood chips “strain-off” nitrogen (appear-ing as nitrates) in the water by growing bac-teria that digest the nitrates before the waterflows out of the field and into nearby streams”(“Leopold Center Project EvaluatesDenitrifying Bioreactors, 7-16-09). Thismethod is between 50 and 70% effective.

• Run tile-line outflow through a treat-ment wetland. Working by essentially thesame principle as a bioreactor, a wetlandremoves nitrogen by filtering it from theeffluent with plants.

Atherton added that EQUIP, an NRCS pro-gram, has cost sharing available for drainagewater management and bioreactor installa-tion. The Farm Service Agency, through CRP,has cost share assistance available for wetlands installation.

Applying nitrogen fertilizer to corn at recom-mended rates can improve energy conservationon the farm. A new publication from Iowa StateUniversity Extension explains the energy con-sumed when producing, transporting andapplying nitrogen fertilizer for corn production.

“Energy Conservation in Corn NitrogenFertilization,” PM 2089I, is available to down-load from the Extension Online Store atwww.extension.iastate.edu/store/.

This publication illustrates the energy con-sumed during the production of nitrogen (N)fertilizer versus phosphorus and potassium fer-tilizers. It also provides resources to determinerecommended N application rates for corn, suchas the online Corn Nitrogen Rate Calculatorfrom the ISU Department of Agronomy.

“Nitrogen fertilizer has a significant impacton energy use for corn production,” said JohnSawyer, ISU Extension soil fertility specialistand professor of agronomy. “Applying nitrogenfertilizer to corn at recommended rates is criti-cal to maximize economic returns, minimizeenvironmental losses and conserve energy.”

The publication is part of a series of farmenergy conservation and efficiency educationalmaterials being developed through the FarmEnergy Conservation and Efficiency education-al initiative. The purpose of the initiative is toincrease farmers’ awareness of farm energyconservation practices.

Sponsored by a grant from the Iowa EnergyCenter, it is also helping farmers explore alter-natives to reduce farm energy demand and to

improve their farms’ overall profitability in arapidly changing energy environment.

Iowa State University Extension received agrant from the Iowa Energy Center to carry outthe initiative. ISU Extension and the IowaEnergy Center are cooperating with Iowa FarmBureau Federation, the Office of EnergyIndependence, USDA Rural Development,Consumers Energy, Central Iowa PowerCooperative (CIPCO), the Iowa Association ofElectric Cooperatives, Alliant Energy andMidAmerican Energy in the effort.

To find other publications in the series, go tothe ISU Extension Online Store, www.exten-sion.iastate.edu/store, and search for farmenergy.

The Iowa State University Integrated CropManagement Conference will take placeDecember 1 and 2 on the Iowa State University(ISU) campus.

Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. onWednesday, December 1, in the SchemanBuilding and the program concludes at 4 p.m.on December 2.

Conference attendees can choose from 36workshops that offer the latest information oncrop production and protection technology inIowa and surrounding states.

Workshops are offered by ISU faculty andstaff and invited speakers from around theMidwest. The conference is hosted by ISUExtension and the College of Agriculture andLife Sciences.

A popular feature of the conference is thevariety of guest speakers on the program.

“Each year ISU specialists invite colleaguesin their field to share their research activitieswith conference attendees. This provides an

opportunity to hear expertise and opinionsfrom across the region and country at one loca-tion,” said Brent Pringnitz, conference coordi-nator with ISU’s Corn and Soybean Initiative.

Invited speakers this year include:• Bill Northey, Secretary of Agriculture,

State of Iowa, speaking on the Iowa statewidenutrient reduction initiative

• Peter Thomison, Ohio State University, onselecting corn hybrids for performance andprofit

• Richard Fawcett, Fawcett Consulting, pre-senting on 50 years of atrazine and its bene-fits, impacts and current status

• Paul Fixen, International Plant NutritionInstitute, discussing the 4R nutrient steward-ship program

• Robert Mullen, Ohio State University,speaking about nitrogen additives, what theyare and do they work

• Dorivar Ruiz Diaz, Kansas StateUniversity, on managing poultry manure nitro-

gen for optimum corn yields• Paul Jasa, University of Nebraska, speak-

ing on no-tillage and water issuesIn recent years the conference has filled to

capacity with nearly 1,000 producers andagribusiness people in attendance. “

The conference is fortunate to have a loyalfollowing of people that attend each year.While filling to capacity is a good problem tohave, we hate to turn people away. We encour-age people to register early,” Pringnitz said.

Attendees can obtain Certified Crop Advisercredits as well as recertification forCommercial Pesticide Applicators in categories1A, 1B, 1C, 4 and 10.

The USDA has announced additional disasterpayments for the 2009 crop year via the CropAssistance Program (CAP).

Payments will be made to producers of rice,upland cotton, sweet potatoes and soybeans incounties that received Secretarial disaster desig-nations in 2009 for excessive moisture or relatedconditions. In Iowa, 30 counties qualify for thepayments; see the list of counties below.

“In order for producers to qualify for payments,they must have suffered a five percent crop loss in2009 from excessive moisture or related condi-tions,” said Chad Hart, ISU grain marketing econ-omist. “The five percent crop loss requirement isbased on a comparison of the producer’s 2009actual yield to the higher of the producer’s cropinsurance APH yield or the county expected yieldas determined by the Farm Service Agency (FSA)State Committee.”

The payment is based on a flat dollar per acreamount; $15.62 for soybeans. If the total pay-ments under the CAP exceed $550 million, thenthe payment rate will be prorated to cap paymentsat $550 million. A qualified producer will receivethe payment on all 2009 planted acres for the eli-gible crops on land that is physically located inone of the Secretarially declared disaster counties.

“Producers will initially receive 75 percent oftheir expected payment, with the remainingamount being paid when sign-up is complete andthe final payment rates are determined,” Hartsaid. “There is a payment limit of $100,000 perproducer in this program.”

The payments will be considered as revenueunder the Supplemental Revenue AssistancePayments (SURE) program for 2009.

The CAP payments are being administered bythe FSA. To sign up, visit the local FSA office.

Sign-up for the payments began October 25, 2010,and continues through Thursday, December 9,2010.

Producers will self-certify the crop losses, butshould have documentation to support the croploss claim. Acreage will be certified from FSAacreage reports. CAP is being funded from astanding USDA program that allows the Secretaryof Agriculture to reestablish the purchasing powerof agricultural producers.

Eligible counties in Iowa include Allamakee,Benton, Bremer, Butler, Calhoun, Chickasaw,Clarke, Clay, Clayton, Decatur, Delaware,Fayette, Grundy, Hamilton,

Hardin, Howard, Ida, Iowa, Jackson, Jefferson,Keokuk, Lucas, Mahaska, Sac, Van Buren,Wapello, Wayne, Webster, Winneshiek andWoodbury.

A long-time member of the Iowa StateUniversity animal science faculty is now in theMeat Industry Hall of Fame. Robert Rust was oneof 12 new members inducted October 30 during aceremony in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Also in the group were the founders of threefast-food restaurants – McDonald’s, KentuckyFried Chicken and Wendy’s – as well as execu-tives, scientists and association leaders from allsectors of the meat industry.

“We are delighted to include 12 of the legendarynames in our industry this year,” said DanMurphy, executive director and co-founder of theHall of Fame. “These people are credited with fos-tering much of the profound change, remarkableprogress and success of our North American meatindustry.”

Rust, now an emeritus professor in the animalscience department, came to Iowa State in 1959 asthe university’s first extension meat specialist,following five years in a similar position atMichigan State University.

“Bob was a pioneer in bringing technology to themeat processing industry,” said MaynardHogberg, animal science department chair. “Hewas the father of the meat science short courses atIowa State. He was an innovator, and an out-standing extension specialist to the meat scienceindustry.”

Rust said he is pleased to be recognized in thisway. “This coming from the clientele I was serving

says I must have done something right,” he said.“When I started, a typical meat science extensionprogram was home butchering, meat animal car-cass evaluation and some consumer information.There was very little going on with the meatindustry.”

Rust said there was a lot of scientific work beingdone on meat processing, but no interface with theindustry. That prompted him to begin a series ofshort courses, making Iowa State the first univer-sity to offer formal classes for the meat processingindustry.

The popular Sausage and Processed Meats shortcourse, which began in 1979, is an example of theclass offerings Rust initiated that continues today.“If I had made a prediction back then, I wouldhave said we would probably run out of an audi-ence in five to 10 years,” Rust said. “But interestremains strong, with participants coming eachyear from around the world.”

Rust retired in 1994 but continues to be a pre-senter at some of the short courses offered in theISU Meat Lab.

Being named to the Meat Industry Hall of Fameis the latest in a long list of awards and honors forRust. He was the first person to receive both theextension award and the meat processing awardfrom the American Meat Science Association. Healso was named a fellow of both the Institute ofFood Technologists and the American Society ofAnimal Science.

Rust has served as a consultant to meat proces-sors in the United States and more than 30 othercountries. He has been part of a number of inter-national educational programs for meat proces-sors, particularly in Latin America.

He has been the co-author of more than 55 arti-cles in scientific journals, 35 extension publica-tions, plus over 200 technical and semi-technicalpublications, nine chapters in reference books,one textbook on meat processing and co-editor of abook on thermal processing.

In addition, Rust has been involved in numerousresearch projects related to meat processing, mar-keting product quality and safety. He was a men-tor to many students at both the graduate andundergraduate levels.

Following retirement he and his wife, Dorothy,established a scholarship fund to encourage andsupport students interested in a career in meatprocessing.

“I hope Iowa State continues to be in the fore-front of research, teaching and extension pro-grams in meat processing,” Rust said. “Meat pro-cessing is the last link between the livestockindustry and the consumer. Any ripple effect back-wards could have a negative impact on the live-stock industry.”

Rust earned his bachelor’s degree from theUniversity of Wisconsin, Madison, and a master’sdegree at Michigan State University.

Loren Lown manages parks and green spaces andBruce Carney raises cattle. Typically their paths wouldnot cross, but at the Chichaqua Bottoms Greenbelt nearMaxwell in Polk County, they work together in a public-private partnership that uses farm animals to restoreand rejuvenate prairies and oak savanna along theSkunk River.

"I just thought it was an interesting project because ofthe collaboration between county agencies and a localfarmer. I guess I’m just trying to get along and see howwe can meet each other’s needs and show that grazingcan be a part of conservation as well,” said Carney, whoowns a cow-calf operation south of Maxwell.

A multi-year project funded by a competitive grantfrom the Ecology Initiative of the Leopold Center forSustainable Agriculture teams public agencies with Iowafarmers who own goat and cattle herds. The goats eatinvasive plants and shrubs which cause problems onpublic land, while the cattle provide native grass man-agement. This allows herd owners time to interseed,stockpile forage or hay, build new fences or rest theirhome pastures for optimum grazing conditions.

These concepts and other opportunities are discussedon three new videos about the project, On the Groundwith the Leopold Center. The short videos can be foundon the Leopold Center Web site at: http://www.leopold.iastate.edu/research/eco_files/ground.html.

Lown is natural resource specialist for the Polk CountyConservation Board, which manages a 7,300-acre green-belt along the Skunk River. The area has a small camp-ground, but changes in land use and logging for railroadtimber has destroyed the area’s historical wetland, wood-land and oak savanna habitats. Invasive species such asbuckthorn, reed canary and switch grass need to be con-trolled in order for other species to compete.

"Our project boils down to this question: 'Can we grazeand browse cattle and goats on natural areas and restorethem to a more natural state while providing quality for-age for domestic animals?'” Lown explained.

The Chichaqua project involves about 460 acres thathave been grazed during the past two summers. Theherd of 31 goats is owned by Deb and Eric Finch of StateCenter; the 100 cow-calf pairs are owned by Carney andhis neighbor Jeff Boyd. The goats primarily browse,which means they eat most everything including twigsand branches, which also helps to clean up the land. Thecattle graze on non-native grass species in the recon-structed prairie, which allows other types of plantgrowth and forage production. "By bringing them [thegoats] down here it's been a benefit. We can get them onbrowse and get them off of those pastures that we've hadtroubles with, and those pastures can sit and can rest,”said Deb Finch.

Goats are valuable because they eat almost every inva-sive plant species. So when the invasive plants are gone,native plants can flourish and complete a natural lifecycle.

The project also helps farmers by giving them access toadditional land that can be grazed while they grow alate-season stockpile or hay crop on their own land forwinter feed. “We're losing a lot of pasture acres to cornproduction, so we really need to find new areas for pas-ture,” Carney said.

Jeri Neal, who works with the Leopold Center’sEcology Initiative, said land management and access tograzing land are critical issues for both public land man-agers and farmers trying to integrate livestock into theiroperations.

“We want to create a win-win situation for all part-ners,” she said. “This project is important to Iowansbecause it explores an innovative way to bring togetherpublic and private interests while providing benefits forboth people and the environment.”

The Leopold Center grant was awarded to IowaHeartland Resource Conservation and Development, alocally-led nonprofit affiliated with the USDA NaturalResources Conservation Service. Other partners includePractical Farmers of Iowa, which helped with a field dayin August; Iowa NRCS, for partial funding of fence mate-rials; two Drake University scientists researching theimpact on diversity; and Iowa State UniversityExtension and NRCS specialists, for grazing and live-stock management assistance.

Leopold Center project adds biodiversity to publiclands, options for farmers


The tallgrass prairies that once covered Iowacontributed to the state’s fertile soil, but IowaState University researchers say this endangeredecosystem offers many other benefits to landown-ers.

A prairie can reduce soil erosion and nutrientpollution, help stabilize the hydrology of a water-shed, increase the number of beneficial insects,and be used to graze livestock or grow biomass forrenewable energy production.

A prairie also provides habitat for many wildlifespecies and songbirds, and it can store carbonfrom the atmosphere to reduce greenhouse gases.

These are some of the benefits outlined in a newpublication, Incorporating Prairies intoMultifunctional Landscapes, PMR 1007. The pub-lication was written by Meghann Jarchow, a Ph.D.candidate in the ISU Department of Agronomy,and her advisor, Matt Liebman, ISU’s Henry A.Wallace Endowed Chair of SustainableAgriculture. Both are members of a research teamsupported by the Leopold Center for SustainableAgriculture.

The research team is developing multi-yearcropping systems for Iowa that integrate annualsand perennials. Their work also is motivated by aconcern to evaluate both the productivity andenvironmental impacts of cropping systems.

“Within the next few decades it is likely that theconditions surrounding agricultural productionwill have changed,” Jarchow explained. “As thesechanges occur, other types of cropping systemsthat are less reliant on stable weather, govern-ment subsidies and low fossil fuel costs than cornand soybean are likely to become more desirablecropping system options. Prairies are one of thoseother types of cropping systems, which is why it isimportant for farmers and landowners to be famil-iar with these alternatives.”

Tallgrass prairies developed in Iowa more that10,000 years ago. Before European settlement,prairies covered most of the central United States.Today nearly all of Iowa’s prairies have disap-peared because of the growth of agricultural pro-

duction, according to the USDA’s NaturalResources Conservation Service. It is estimatedthat less than 0.1 percent of Iowa’s native prairiesremain.

The publication looks at ways that prairies canbe incorporated into farms, how they affect near-by crops and resources to establish a person’s ownprairie. Jarchow, whose background is in plantecology, provided many of the full-color photo-graphs in the publication.

The publication was sponsored by the NorthCentral Region Sustainable Agriculture Researchand Education program, Leopold Center and ISUAgriculture and Natural Resource Extension.Incorporating Prairies into MultifunctionalLandscapes, PMR 1007, is available from the ISUExtension Online Store at www.extension.ias-tate.edu/store/.

-30- Forage Testing is Good Insurance for Cow Herd

For less than $7 per forage sample tested, cow-calf producers may be able to stave off a variety ofpotential problems in their cowherd. That’s theamount a producer will pay for a sample tested aspart of a forage testing project spearheaded by theIowa Beef Center (IBC) at Iowa State University(ISU).

ISU Extension beef program specialist BethDoran said the project offers producers a 50-per-cent cost share per sample for up to three foragesamples, and encourages people to participate.Producers interested in participating in the foragetesting project or who have questions should con-tact their local county extension office or ISU beefprogram specialist.

“This may be the cheapest insurance you’ll everbuy,” Doran said. “This project focuses on haysand silages that have been hampered by wetweather this summer.”

ISU Extension beef veterinarian Grant Dewellsaid the project was designed to assist producersin managing rain-affected forages when develop-ing cow rations. Appropriate rations can, in turn,help prevent or lessen the incidence of calving

problems. For example, research indicates thatcows eating hay with less than 10 percent crudeprotein during the final 60 days of pregnancyaveraged 8.5 percent weak calves.

“Energy in the cow diet is important becausecalves born to thin cows are at higher risk of weakcalf syndrome,” Dewell said. “Last spring, the ISUVeterinary Diagnostic Laboratory noted weak calfsyndrome. This refers to a newborn calf that’sweak, and unable or slow to rise, stand or nurse.”

Less than desirable rations can lead to problemsfor calves and cows, Doran said.

“Calves born to thin cows take longer to stand,and calves born to protein-deficient cows cannotgenerate body heat as well after birth,” she said.“Colostrum production in a thin cow is reduced,and immunoglobulins, which play a big role in theimmunity of the calf, are reduced. In addition,thin cows may not conceive or are slow to re-breedand wean a calf seven to eight months later.”

The forage testing project will provide both pro-tein and energy analyses.

“We want to help producers have their cows andheifers in body condition scores of 5 and 6, respec-tively, at calving,” Doran said. “The goal is a live,healthy calf.”

The forage testing project is cooperatively spon-sored by IBC, the Grass Based Livestock WorkingGroup from the Leopold Center for SustainableAgriculture, Iowa Forage and Grassland Council,and the Southern Iowa Forage and LivestockCommittee.

IBC was established in 1996 with the goal ofsupporting the growth and vitality of the state’sbeef cattle industry. It comprises faculty and stafffrom ISU Extension, College of Agriculture andLife Sciences and College of Veterinary Medicine,and works to develop and deliver the latestresearch-based information regarding the beefcattle industry.

New publication touts benefits of prairies in Iowa

Superior Farms, a national lamb packer head-quartered in Davis, California, announced in anOctober 22 release that it has entered an agree-ment to purchase Iowa Lamb Corporation to helpincrease efficiencies in the sheep industry.

Spence Rule, an owner of Iowa LambCorporation said, “We’re excited about this. It’s anopportunity to go back to doing what we’ve donefor years, and that’s feeding. We were feeders longbefore we were packers and this will help us getback to concentrating on the feeding business.”

He, along with his brother, sister and fatherhave owned the packing house since 1983.

While only approximately one percent of allfresh meat sales, the sheep industry contributes$1.4 billion annually to the U.S. economy with$768 million contributed to the sale of lamb andlamb products. Lamb farms and ranches in everystate total 82,000.

However, according to the American SheepIndustry Association, demand for lamb was down

10 percent in 2009 as livestock costs and subse-quent retail prices increased.

Supply is currently a concern. In 1990, U.S.ranchers had 11.1 million head of sheep. InJanuary this year it had dropped to 5.6 million.Supply, along with grain and feed pricing, hascaused prices for the protein to steadily increase.

Superior Farms’ CEO Ed Jenks said, “For quitesome time, our feeling has been that there are alot of packing houses that are trying to operatewith minimal schedules in the United States forlamb production. We saw a definite cultural matchbetween Iowa Lamb and Superior. Ultimately itmeans that the packing side of the business willbe more efficient and it is our sincere hope that wecreate operational economies of scale that allow usto keep our plant costs down and continue toencourage a consumer demand at affordableprices.”

Iowa Lamb Corporation’s consumer brand,Summit Creek, and foodservice brand, Grove

Meats, will be integrated into the Superior Farmsdivisions. Jenks said that other than switchinglogos, there are no immediate plans to changeanything operationally with the company.

“From a producer’s prospective, this gives theentire industry better assurance that they willhave packing houses that they can rely on to tradetheir lambs with,” he stated.

Larry Rule began his career in 1950 in the live-stock business. What was once a beef plant con-structed in 1963, the Rule family purchased toextend its feeding and lamb processing businessin 1983. They then renovated the facility in 2006.

Superior Farms was founded in Ellensburg,Washington, in 1963. With four facilities in theUnited States, it is employee-owned and recentlywon the 2011 ESOP California/Western StatesChapter Company of the Year.

“This transition is a win-win-win,” said Jenks,“for the great tradition that was Iowa Lamb,Superior Farms and for the whole industry.”
