A Grade A facilityNew chicken hatchery in Goldfield features state of the art technology

by Greg ForbesAfter nearly three years of preparation, a new industry

has hatched in Wright County.Centurion Poultry Inc. (CPI), based in Lexington, Georgia,

opened the new hatchery in Goldfield.According to Steve Hilleson, project manager, the CPI-

Prairie Gold Hatchery will have the capacity to produce 18million – 175,000 twice per week – pullet hen chicks annu-ally when production reaches its peak.

Hilleson explained Goldfield was chosen as the site due toits proximity to CPI-Clarion Breeder Farm in nearby Clarion.

“The number one reason for choosing Goldfield was thatthe breeder farm that supplies the eggs is seven miles awayso the eggs don’t have to be transported far,” he stated.

The 35,000 square foot facility will replace an old Centu-rion hatchery in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin.

The hatchery was designed to feature state-of-the-art as

well as energy efficient technology. “The hatchers we are putting in are technologically ad-

vanced and are controllable from a main computer or evena cell phone,” Hilleson stated.

When the eggs arrive from the Clarion breeder farm, themachines begin their work by placing each egg from the pal-lets onto trays where the eggs are stored until it’s time for in-cubation.

Guests of Centurion Poultry, Inc.’s (CPI), open house to commemorate the opening of CPI-Prairie Gold Hatchery in Gold-field, were able to observe the step by step process that will eventually send 175,000 pullet hen chicks throughout the na-tion twice per week. Photo submitted

Before the eggs are placed into one of two incubators, theymust be disinfected.

The Goldfield hatchery features two incubation rooms.The first room houses 14 incubators, each with a capacity of115,000 eggs while the other also has 14 incubators eachwith a capacity of 77,000.

Each incubator is monitored by a computer system thatmaintains an ideal environment for the eggs based on theirhatching stage.

“The hatchers we have installed are very, very energy ef-ficient,” Hilleson said. “They use both hot and cold water toprovide an idea climate. The incubators have different zonesthat have different temperatures, humidity and CO2 levels.”

He continued that stages of the hatching process is mon-itored solely from a computer. A “profile” is designed to ac-commodate each step of the egg. When a profile is designedto include specific temperature, humidity levels and otherfactors, it is programmed in to a computer and may be as-signed to either incubator.

“Once we get the eggs in (to the incubator), we push a but-ton and let it (profile) do the rest,” Hilleson said.

The incubators, manufactured by Netherlands-based PasReform, are considered the most energy efficient yet topquality systems.

After precisely 18 days in the incubator, the eggs sit in aspecialized hatching room. When the eggs finally crack andthe chicks emerge, they are sent to the processing roomwhere a group of handlers gender check each newborn chick.

The females are vaccinated and shipped to clients. Themales, however, are, as Hilleson explained, “humanely dis-posed.” The remains of the male chicks are processed intoanimal feed.

Each aspect of the hatchery was designed to ensure pro-

duction ran as efficiently as possible. In order to develop thebest facility in the world, Hilleson and the development crewgathered ideas from more than a dozen hatcheries.

“When we were in the process of evaluating and decidingon a provider, I visited 14 different hatcheries in the UnitedStates, Canada and the Netherlands. We learned a lot,” Hille-son said. “This is as good as it gets both machine wise andproduction wise.”

While the facility will be the largest Centurion hatcherywhen fully operational, a few additions must be made. Untilthe facility is complete, the hatchery will produce small orderhatches.

Hilleson said in nearly six months, the hatchery will be atfull production and will staff 40 employees.

“We do have people hired here that live in the Goldfieldcommunity,” he said. “Currently, we do have 12 active em-ployees but we will be hiring more.”

Positions will include hatchery and maintenance man-agers, people to oversee the transfer of eggs and other var-ious employees to serve throughout the hatching process.When the chicks hatch, however, Hilleson said position sta-tus becomes irrelevant.

“We will have some supervisors but everyone will be in-volved in chick processing when they hatch.”

The CPI-Prairie Gold Hatchery of Goldfield opened for partial operation in February. At full capacity, the facility will beable to produce approximately 18 million pullet hen chicks annually. Gijs Schimmel, president of Centurion, as well assite managers and other Centurion officials, hosted an open house on February 17 for customers and guests. Bill Northey(in front, center), Iowa Secretary of Agriculture, listens as a Centurion executive explains the process of transporting eggsfrom the shipment trucks to the incubator rooms.

A student culinary teamfrom Iowa Western Commu-nity College in Council Bluffsprepared the winning entréein the Iowa Pork ProducersAssociation’s 11th annualStudent Taste of Elegancecompetition on March 4 atthe Des Moines Area Com-munity College Culinary In-stitute in Ankeny.

The Iowa Western team ofAdrianne Kessenich, Mag-dalena Francisco and JennaDunn prepared GrilledHoney Jalapeno Loin Chopswith Sauté Spaghetti Squashand Grilled Asparagus withBlue Cheese Reduction andwon the event’s top prize.IPPA presented each win-ning team member with$100 cash and $1,000 fortheir school to use for schol-arships or educational costs.

“We would like to thankthe Iowa Pork Producers As-sociation for their hard workin putting this competitiontogether and the Des MoinesArea Community College forhosting this event eachyear,” said Karen Hander, anIowa Western CommunityCollege culinary instructor.

“We are so humbled totake home first place. Thegirls worked hard and I am

so proud of their accom-plishments.”

A record 18 teams fromculinary programs at IowaWestern, DMACC, Iowa Cen-tral Community College,Iowa State University andScott Community College en-tered the IPPA competition.

A Scott Community Col-lege team was second andan ISU team took third.Members of the top threeteams each received a cer-tificate from IPPA and eachparticipating school wasgiven $500 for expenses.

The purpose of the event

is to inspire innovative andexciting ways for culinaryarts students to use pork intheir menus and to measuretheir progress. The studentswere required to prepare amain pork entrée using anyfresh pork cut.

A team of three profes-sional Iowa chefs judged theentrees on taste, appearanceand design. A fourth chefserved as a critic and metwith each team after judgingto provide professional ad-vice and answer questions.

“Pork is such a versatileproduct and we love provid-

ing the opportunity for stu-dents to be creative with it.We had 18 teams this year –the most we’ve ever had – sowe were pleased to see somany students show upeager to compete,” saidLinda Madison of the IPPARestaurant & FoodserviceCommittee.

“The judges were tough,but I think the studentslearned a lot about elegantfood preparation.”

The IPPA Student Taste ofElegance is open to any Iowacollege that has a culinaryarts program.

Farmers can check soil moisture levels around the statewhen Iowa State University’s Department of Agronomy up-grades weather stations at several research and demon-stration farms. With drought conditions continuing acrossIowa, ISU Extension agronomist Elwynn Taylor said the sta-tions offer a risk management tool for crop producers.

“The updated stations provide information on the soilmoisture resource and the actual crop water consumption,”Taylor said. “Farmers will be able to know the yield limitsbeing placed on crop yield by water stress as the season pro-gresses.”

The new stations replace ones that have been monitoringweather data at the farms for more than 30 years. Taylor saidthe original units made up the world’s first nonmilitary net-work of automatic reporting weather stations.

They were networked, as the new ones will be, so theirreadings can be monitored on the Mesonet weather web site(mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/). Moisture sensors are placeda foot, two feet and four feet deep in the soil next to the sta-tion. Readings are taken every 15 minutes and sent by cel-lular phone text messages to the network. The weather sta-tions also measure rainfall, air and soil temperature, hu-midity, sunlight, wind speed and direction. A solar collectorpowers the units.

Taylor said the first of the new units was placed next tothe previous model at the Northwest Research and Demon-stration Farm near Sutherland. Another seven will be in-stalled on research farms as weather permits. He said twofarmers have paid for a station to be placed on their farmsand a cooperative has ordered three stations.

“The goal is, with cooperators, to have one in every coun-ty,” he said. It costs about $12,000 each for the equipmentand installation. Campbell Scientific of Logan, Utah, pro-duced the original units and the new ones.

“Twelve thousand dollars sounds like a lot of money, butthese days when you consider the cost of farm equipmentthat’s not out of anybody’s reach, especially when you real-ize the payoff on it if you use it,” he said. “People have tobe trained to use it, so they know what it means for theiryield and what it means for their soil. The payoff will be justas great for any piece of farm equipment.”

USDA to surveyfarmers about 2013 planting intentions

Over the next severalweeks, the U.S. Departmentof Agriculture’s NationalAgricultural Statistics Ser-vice (NASS) will survey tensof thousands of growersabout their 2013 plantingintentions.

The results of this surveywill help all participants inthe agriculture sector deter-mine what to expect thisgrowing season after adrought-hampered 2012season.

In addition to grain grow-ers, NASS will also surveythousands of pork produc-ers about their hog and piginventories and spring far-rowing intentions.

“The information we col-lect from producers during

the first two weeks of Marchestablishes a trend thatwe’re likely to see in the en-tire growing season,” saidBob Bass, NASS’ NationalOperations Division director.“This year, after a weather-plagued 2012 season, it’smore important than ever tounderstand planting inten-tions for this year.”

Most survey participantsshould have received theirquestionnaires in the mail inlate February and can nowrespond via NASS’s securewebsite or by filling out andmailing the forms back.

Trained NASS interview-ers will visit those who donot respond to answer anyquestions they may haveand to help them fill out their

survey forms.“These surveys require a

pretty quick turnaround sothat the information is ascurrent as possible,” addedBass. “Not only do we pub-lish the Prospective Planti-ngs and Quarterly Hogs andPigs reports on March 28,but we also recognize thatfarmers have a very busytime ahead of them and wewant to let them get back tothe task at hand as soon aspossible.”

As with all of its surveys,NASS keeps all individualresponses confidential. Thepublished reports will in-clude only national and stateaggregate data, ensuringthat no individual operationscan be identified.

Money available to supportenvironmental projects

Iowa Secretary of Agri-culture Bill Northey an-nounced the State SoilConservation CommitteeResearch and Demonstra-tion Fund has assistanceavailable to support re-search oreducation/demonstrationprojects that explore sus-tainable agriculture andprojects focused on reduc-ing nonpoint pollution.Funds are available to col-laborative teams of scien-tists, farmers, institutions,soil and water conserva-tion districts and educa-tors.

Applications must besubmitted to the State SoilConservation Committeeby April 3, 2013 and fund-ing decisions will be madein July.

“These funds are de-signed to help generatenew techniques and con-servation practices thatcan help landowners asthey continue their work tobetter protect our soil andwater,” Northey said.

“Landowners have manyconservation tools avail-able and this program isdesigned to help generateeven more practices to re-duce erosion and protectwater quality.”

Proposals must addressissues of nonpoint pollu-tion control. Successfulprojects should be focusedon sustaining and improv-ing environmental qualityor the natural resourcebase on which agriculturedepends. Applicationsshould also explain howthe projects would en-hance the quality of life forfarmers, rural communi-ties, and society as awhole.

Proposals should clearlyexplain expected outcomesfor the project and howthey will assist in workingtoward these objectives,how project outcomes willbe evaluated, and the im-pact of projects.

“We are looking for proj-ects that make a contribu-tion to the greater good

and help us continue to-wards our goal of bettersoil and water protection,”said Jean Eells, a memberof the State Soil Conserva-tion Committee.

Funding level for thegrant program is estab-lished by the State SoilConservation Committeeand it is anticipated that$250,000 will be availablethis year.

Individual grants cannotexceed $75,000 total overa two year period. Supportfor these projects comesfrom the EnvironmentFirst Fund.

High tunnel production workshopoffered March 26 in Logan

Current commercial fruit or vegetablegrowers and traditional farmers inter-ested in diversifying can learn moreabout high tunnel production at aMarch 26 workshop at the Iowa StateUniversity Extension and Outreach,Harrison County office in Logan.

“Like all farmers, fruit and vegetablegrowers attempt to get the greatestyields of high quality crops from theirland,” said Linda Naeve, program co-

ordinator with Iowa State UniversityExtension's Value Added Agricultureprogram.

“This requires careful planning andusing the right tools and strategies.Producing high value crops in high tun-nels is one way growers can increasetheir production in a limited space.”

High tunnels are inexpensive, sim-ple, passive-solar greenhouses inwhich crops are grown directly in the

soil. They allow growers to extend the

season and produce high yields ofquality produce earlier than field-grown crops, thus commanding a high-er price at market.

Topics to be covered at the workshopinclude site and high tunnel selection,construction, soil management, irriga-tion, pest management, bed design andcropping systems and business plan

development.The workshop will take place from 9

a.m. to 4 p.m., with registration begin-ning at 8:30 a.m.

Pre-registration is required by callingJoe Hannan at 515-993-4281 or e-mailing at [email protected].

Fees for the workshop are $55/per-son or $90/couple, which includes atraining manual/workbook, resourceguide, lunch and refreshments.

Highlights of the USDAAgricultural Outlook Forum 2013

by David FialaThe February USDA Agricultural Out-

look Forum 2013 (on February 21) washighlighted by a big focus on the 2012drought.

Emphasized were the many effects ofthe drought already known, along withsome still anticipated, and then of coursethe big question in regard to the weatheroutlook. There is a concern of the residualeffects into 2013, but the standard for theforum is to look at the year projectingtrend line yields, assuming normal weath-er. This resulted in bearish USDA projec-tions for 2013 new crop corn and soybeanprices.

The retail food price outlook for 2013was generally expected to see a three per-cent to four percent rise as a historicalresidual effect of the higher commodityprices in 2012 and early 2013. Highlight-ed by Richard Volpe, economist with theUSDA Economic Research Service, werethe smaller retail food price effects of bigcommodity price volatility, including theaddition of the big corn usage for ethanolover the past eight years.

This is a topic that critics of corn usedto produce ethanol have made, along withsome myth media stories that retail foodprices have soared or will soar. Interesting

to note, vegetable prices were down in2012 as an aggregate and are not pro-jected to be up in 2013. The USDA Pro-grams emphasizing nutrition were part ofthe displays at the forum, so they receivedan economic boost as well as the food sci-ence health boost.

The future of our new and bigger ageconomy was one of the themes through-out the many forum sessions. Ag Secre-tary Tom Vilsack, Deputy Secretary Kath-leen Merrigan and Chief Economist JoeGlauber started out the conference, withTom Daschle as the distinguished guestspeaker. Highlighted was the point thateveryone in ag needs to work together fora better future. The ingenuity and tech-nology advancements in U.S. Agricultureare having and will continue to have glob-al effects to improve life.

This remains a positive time for ag,even though we have seen this devastat-ing drought year domestically. The U.S.role in world agriculture has never beenmore important. Secretary Vilsack didmention the sequestering as an item thatlikely will affect timely USDA vital items,but did not elaborate on his managementof this potential and real challenge.

U.S. Energy Information AdministratorAdam Sieminski was the evening dinner

speaker on Thursday (February 21). Itwas a personable and open talk about thebig changes in technology increasing U.S.natural gas and oil production to a pointwhere exporting liquid natural gas is nowpossible.

As far as the expansion to E85 and E15blended gas, there did not appear to bemuch of an agenda, which was disap-pointing to the ag community.

Jokingly-serious, there were a fewquestions about why gas prices are "sodarn high" in the dinner crowd. Adminis-trator Sieminski noted that our gas pricesbetween $3 and $4 are good compared toEurope and Japan. The tone in the agcommunity at this time is that moreshould be done to lower gas prices, in-cluding making ethanol and biodieselmore accessible to the public, especiallycurrently when it would effectively lowerfuel prices domestically. The infrastruc-ture to make that happen is extensive anddid not appear to be a near term empha-sis.

Bryan Durkin, COO of the CME Group,David Baudler, Cargill AGHorizons presi-dent, and Scott H. Irwin, ag marketingPh.D. at the University of Illinois, took onsome market and futures industry hottopics consisting of a focus on the in-

tegrity of the markets and the science ofthe markets needed for them to work. Theneed for newly interpreted Dodd-Frankregulation that has been discussed in theindustry did not hold water in regard toany evidence of harm that needs to befixed.

The MFGlobal Inc. and PFG mess wasbriefly brought up as an item that stillneeds to be properly addressed, but newregulation on smaller firms or increasedcapitol for the public, like farmers, wouldbe a problem, not a solution. The JusticeDepartment is 16 months into the MF-Global Inc. investigation, and the indus-try still has hope justice will be done andthe public will have their money returned.

In regards to price protection for farm-ers, crop insurance is the main answer.There is comfort by the USDA and thepublic that insurance is doing the job.

Incidentally, the new crop February av-erage for crop revenue insurance to datefor corn is $5.69 and $12.96 for beans.And still bad news for the western cornbelt and western U.S., where the weatheroutlook for the spring calls for persistentdrought.

USDA to simplify guaranteed farm loans by setting thresholds on interest rates

The U.S. Department of Agriculture(USDA) announced on March 1 an inter-im rule that sets thresholds on the inter-est rates charged by lenders on guaran-teed farm ownership and operating loans.

The changes will amend guidelines forinterest rates and establish new policiesthat clearly set the maximum interest ratelenders may charge to borrowers.

"By providing clear thresholds on inter-est rates for federally-guaranteed farmloans, USDA is ensuring greater certain-ty to producers, making compliance easi-er for our lenders and ensuring greaterbenefits for all farmers and ranchers," saidAgriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "It isimportant that American agriculture con-tinues to play a key role in driving eco-nomic growth and creating good-payingjobs across the American middle class. By

setting thresholds on interest rates, USDAwill strengthen access to farm credit."

USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA)guaranteed loans reduce the risk of loss tolenders (banks, farm credit institutionsand credit unions) by guaranteeing up to95 percent of the loss of principal and in-terest on a loan. By reducing a lender'srisk, borrowers benefit from a lower rate.

The USDA said the interim rule on max-imum interest rates for FSA-guaranteedloans will benefit lenders and producersalike. Lenders have expressed a desire tosee greater clarity in FSA's interest ratepolicy. At the same time, FSA seeksgreater consistency with industry stan-dards and other government agencies thatadminister similar programs. The im-provements in the new rule will makecredit pricing procedures easier to follow

and improve compliance for lenders. At this time, FSA is also requesting ad-

ditional comments on the interim policiesin the rule, aiming to assure that thebenchmark rates required of lenders donot prevent farmers and ranchers fromobtaining guaranteed loans. USDA isseeking comments through June 3, 2013.

The interim rule is part of USDA's workto expand credit opportunities for Ameri-ca's farmers and ranchers. In January,USDA announced a new microloan pro-gram to help small and family operations,and beginning and socially disadvantagedfarmers secure loans under $35,000. Thenew microloan program is aimed at bol-stering the progress of producers throughtheir start-up years by providing neededresources and helping to increase equityso that farmers may eventually graduate

to commercial credit and expand their op-erations. The interest rate for microloanschanges monthly and is currently 1.25percent.

While USDA continues to introduce newproducts that are more responsive to thecredit needs of its diverse customer base,the Department continues to expand itstraditional farms loans. In fact, since 2009USDA has made a record amount of farmloans - more than 134,000 loans totalingnearly $18 billion. USDA has increasedthe number of loans to beginning farmersand ranchers from 11,000 loans in 2008to 15,000 loans in 2011. More than 40percent of USDA's farm loans now go tobeginning farmers. In addition, USDA hasincreased its lending to socially-disad-vantaged producers by nearly 50 percentsince 2008.

by Gordon WolfLooking at the week ahead, State

Climatologist Harry Hillaker with theIowa Department of Agriculture andLand Stewardship stated onWednesday (March 6) the forecastis for colder weather than usual, apattern that has persisted for theprevious two weeks.

He pointed out the cooler weatherwill be more of a benefit this year,following a drought, than the above-normal temperatures experienced inMarch 2012.

Temperatures in March 2012 werephenomenal, Hillaker commented in

his weather summer for that month.Temperatures averaged 51.1 degrees– 15.2 degrees above normal, and itwas the warmest March in 140 yearsof Iowa weather records.

The warm temperatures occurredin the final 26 days of the month,and every day from March 10through the end of the month aver-aged at least 10 degrees above nor-mal.

The record weather awoke vege-tation from dormancy and sentfarmers into the fields earlier thannormal to prepare the ground forplanting later on.

Looking ahead in March 2013,Hillaker stated, “Generally, we’relooking at a cool pattern continuingfor a while, which for the most partis a pretty good thing. Less evapo-ration will occur and the perennialvegetation isn’t going to come out ofdormancy any time soon, so what-ever moisture is in the ground willstay there.

This March looks to be quite a bitdifferent from a year ago.”

“Coming off a drought year, it’sgood to keep things a bit on the coldside,” Hillaker stated.

Coming out of the drought will

typically be a slow process – onerainfall event at a time, chippingaway at the precipitation deficit fromthe last year and a half, said thestate climatologist.

Hillaker stated the upper level ofthe soil is reasonably moist rightnow but that the moisture is notmuch more than two feet below thesurface.

Moisture needs to get into thelower soil profit.

“That needs to improve before theaquifiers recharge,” he stated.

Farm Bureau donations add to fund for children’s museum in Sioux CityWill include interactiveagricultural exhibit

Woodbury County Farm Bureau members want tobring a taste of farm life to Sioux City and tri-statearea urban school children, so county leaders joinedthe state grassroots farm organization, to help bringa $50,000 donation to the Children’s Museum ofSiouxland, set to open the summer of 2014.

The Children’s Museum of Siouxland is on track tobecome northwest Iowa’s premier education andtourism draw, which will provide an interactive,hands-on learning environment to children, families,and schools of the tri-state area.

District Farm Bureau Director Doug Gronau, of ruralVail, presented the check to museum Executive Direc-tor Kari Kellen in late February in Sioux City.

Farm Bureau members envision the museum as agreat opportunity to further agricultural education foryouth and educators in the tri-state region.

“Many children in the area are unfamiliar with life

on the farm and do not know any farmers. This newchildren’s museum will bring the farm to them so theycan see how farmers grow the crops, how animals eatthe crops and how it all contributes to the food choic-es they make at the grocery store,” said WoodburyCounty Farm Bureau President, Greg Jochum.

The Children’s Museum of Siouxland will feature aninteractive agriculture exhibit that shows visitors ofall ages about the food production cycle.

The exhibit will include a replica farm, grocery storeand café which will allow visitors to track the move-ment of food from the farm to their dinner table.

Other museum exhibits will also be highly interac-tive, with hands-on displays and features.

Woodbury County Farm Bureau initiated the part-nership with the upstart museum with a $25,000 do-nation, which was matched by the Iowa Farm BureauFederation.

“Iowa Farm Bureau Federation is happy to partnerwith the Woodbury County Farm Bureau by makingthis donation to the Children’s Museum of Siouxland.The museum is a testament to the many ways IowaFarm Bureau believes in supporting youth education

and leadership opportunities. We are excited by thepotential this project has for children and families inthe entire tri-state region,” said Gronau.

The Children’s Museum of Siouxland will be locat-ed at 623 Pearl Street in Sioux City.

It was started as a project through the Junior Leagueof Sioux City and run by a group of dedicated volun-teers.

Today, the museum’s board is working closely withfamilies, community members, and partners duringthe fundraising stage of development.

For more information about the Children’s Museumof Siouxland, visit www.childrensmuseumofsioux-land.org or email Executive Director Kari Kellen,[email protected].

The Children’s Museum of Siouxland is envisionedas a family-oriented, hands-on children’s museumwith emphasis on providing educational value whilefostering a child’s creativity and imagination.

Targeting children ages 6 months through 10 years,the museum is committed to reaching out to all chil-dren and ensuring a safe and stimulating environ-ment.

Blizzards and retirementA couple weeks ago, a

major storm was supposedto come through Iowa anddump 12 inches of snowon us. I was excited onMonday when I saw theforecast; I’ve been wantinga snow day for ages!

Then “Q” danced acrossIowa leaving just a littlesnow in its wake, at leastin our county. Though I didget one snow day out of it,I really wanted to besnowed in for a coupledays.

Now that March is uponus, my guess is that I’llhave to wait until nextyear to hope for anothersnow day. It’s not like wecan get heavy rain or mas-sive thunderstorm days inIowa. Kids just pull ontheir boots and splashtheir way to school.

We’ve had a few morecalves on the farm, andI’ve been told they’re cute.

The latest one was fromthe little kid’s heifer, thathe hand-raised and bottle-fed. Two years ago, he

showed her as a bottle calfand last year as a heifer inopen class. The little kidcalled me using his dad’scell phone in the barn andproudly proclaimed thatJenny had her baby, andthat he had named thebaby Sally.

(Side note: Either theboy is going to take a big-ger role in naming his chil-dren, or he’s going to besick and tired of namingbabies in 15 or so yearswhen his children areborn.)

So the little kid decidedto play with the baby forawhile, much to the cow’sdelight. He and Sally hungout for awhile until myhusband became con-cerned that the calf wasbonding more with the kidthan her mother, andkicked the little kid out ofthe barn for awhile.

The little kid is still pret-ty excited about his newcalf. He’ll probably have apretty good herd going be-fore he even graduates

high school.I’m sure he’s thinking

ahead in his life too, be-cause he asked me theother day how much ourhouse costs. Of course, Ididn’t answer the ques-tion, but I did ask him whyhe wondered.

He started to say some-thing about when we gavehim the house to live in,whereupon I interruptedhim and asked why hethought he should get thehouse and not the big kid.And, why he thought heshould get it for free!

He didn’t understand thequestion.

I explained to him thathis dad and I would needmoney to live when he wasolder, and that we couldn’tjust give everything to himand his brother for free.

His response, “But we’lltake care of you.”

Cute, but I don’t think heis planning ahead and re-membering that he wouldhave a family to take careof as well.

Kids say the greatestthings, and try to persuadetheir parents of all kinds ofstuff.

Last week he had towrite a persuasive essayon any topic. He thinkskids should be able to havepadlocks on their lockers,and gave three very good

reasons why kids shouldbe able to keep their thingssafe and private.

I don’t think the schoolwill agree though.

The big kid had to writea similar speech, usingthree points to support astatement. He said littlebrothers weren’t so bad.He said that they can bebribed to do your choreswhen needed.

Perhaps more disturbingthan the potential shakingdown of his little brother ishis last statement.

He said only childrenhave to care for their par-ents themselves whenthey are old and feeble.They don’t have anyone tohelp them out.

On the other hand, thebig kid will be able to “playwith his parents” and sendthem off to his little broth-er so he can take care ofus.

Nice.Maybe the house will go

to the little one. At least hesaid he’d take care of us.

Farm poll examines where, how farmers get their information

Iowa farmers rely primarily on agribusinesses, IowaState University Extension and Outreach and state agen-cies for their information needs, according to the 2012Iowa Farm and Rural Life Poll.

The annual poll surveyed 1,296 farmers about the in-formation sources they rely on when making decisionsthat affect their farm operations, said J. Gordon Arbuck-le Jr., a sociologist with Iowa State University Extensionand Outreach. Arbuckle co-directs the annual Iowa Farmand Rural Life Poll with Paul Lasley, another ISU Exten-sion and Outreach sociologist.

“Farmers can choose from many sources to get the in-formation they need to make decisions. We wanted tofind out who they go to first for information on specificagricultural topics,” Arbuckle said.

“We’ve asked similar questions in previous surveys,and results show that ISU Extension and Outreach con-tinues to be among farmers’ ‘go to’ information sources.We also asked farmers to tell us how they prefer to re-ceive ISU Extension information and educational pro-gramming that supports their farming and farm man-agement decisions,” Arbuckle said.

Farmers were asked to select the category of informa-tion provider that they would go to first when seeking in-formation on crop production, nutrient management,pest and disease management, conservation, financesand marketing, Arbuckle explained. For each topic, farm-ers could choose fertilizer or agricultural chemical deal-ers, seed dealers, USDA/NRCS/SWCD service centers,private crop consultants, ISU Extension and Outreach,commodity associations and “other.”

For crop production - including corn production, soy-bean production and seed selection - seed dealers were

the first choice for a plurality of farmers. A majority offarmers selected fertilizer or agricultural chemical deal-ers as their primary source of crop disease, insect andweed management information. Fertilizer or agricultur-al chemical dealers also were selected as the preferredprovider of information on fertilizer application rates andnutrient management.

USDA/NRCS/SWCD service centers were designated asthe preferred resource for information for both conser-vation tillage and soil and water conservation in gener-al. Responses for farm financial management and mar-keting showed that many farmers did not select any ofthe listed entities as their primary information source,with 57 percent selecting other.

“Extension and Outreach ranked second or third in allcategories, with the highest percentages being for pestand disease management, conservation, and farm fi-nancial management. Overall, 54 percent of farmers in-dicated that they would go to Extension first for at leastone category of information. That said, chances are thatmuch of the information farmers are receiving from othersources is based to some extent on Iowa State research,”Arbuckle said.

“ISU Extension and Outreach delivers science-basedagricultural information both directly to farmers andthrough key agricultural stakeholders who also havecontact with farmers. Agribusinesses, crop consultants,commodity groups, state agencies and other ag infor-mation providers rely heavily on Iowa State research andextension information as they formulate their technicalassistance recommendations for farmers,” Arbuckle said.

“These partnerships help us make sure that farmersare able to base their decisions on current research. The

bottom line is that together we are able to place science-based information in the hands of more farmers acrossthe state,” he added. Arbuckle said the Farm Poll resultsdemonstrate the value of this approach.

The 2012 Farm Poll also asked farmers how they pre-ferred to receive information from ISU Extension andOutreach. For each of several topics they could choosefrom a list ranging from field days and workshops to we-bcasts and apps. Farmers were asked to check all that ap-plied.

“In general, results indicate that farmers are fairly di-verse in their preferences. Traditional, in-person eventssuch as field days and meetings were the most popularmeans of delivery for most types of information. How-ever, substantial numbers of farmers expressed prefer-ence for electronic distribution of materials and pro-gramming through online videos, webcasts and down-loaded publications. Very few, however, selected smart-phone or tablet apps,” Arbuckle said.

Conducted every year since its establishment in 1982,the Iowa Farm and Rural Life Poll is the longest-runningsurvey of its kind in the nation. ISU Extension and Out-reach, the Iowa Agriculture and Home Economics Ex-periment Station, the Iowa Department of Agricultureand Land Stewardship, and the Iowa Agricultural Sta-tistics Service are all partners in the Farm Poll effort.

RAINFALL, from Page 1B

“The soil has to be close to a saturation point beforewe get some deeper percolation. The time for that to hap-pen is coming up. Unfortunately there is still frost in theground, but I’m not sure how much.”

Hillaker said the good news is some pretty goodchances of rain exist for the end of the week (week ofMarch 3 through 9).

He said the long range model shows the rainfall couldbe more than an inch of moisture, which is quite a bit forthis time of the year.

“What is especially good is the best odds for signifi-cant precipitation seem to be for the areas that needsrain the most – Nebraska, west central Iowa and north-west Iowa,” said Hillaker.

Hillaker estimated six to eight inches of frozen groundon average still exists and hoped that rainfall predictedfor the weekend of March 8, 9 and 10 would help soft-en the frost.

In his March 4 weather summary, Hillaker said thethree mid-winter months (December through February)averaged 24.3 degrees or 2.2 degrees above normal andprecipitation totaled 3.84 inches, half an inch above nor-mal, as a statewide average.

The temperature and precipitation placed the threemonths as the 41st warmest and 42nd wettest winter in140 years and it was the seventh consecutive wetter-than-normal winter for Iowa.

But Hillaker said the above-normal precipitation hadvery little effect on soil moisture.

“I guess the positive is we can still get precipitation ifwe manage above normal amounts. Most of the winterprecipitation would have fallen on frozen ground andvery little went into the soil,” he stated.

The exception, he added, is the precipitation in thefirst half of December.

“Some of the rainfall we received the first two to twoand a half weeks in December would have gotten into thesoil,” Hillaker commented.

“It wasn’t until December 20 that the soil froze. Wehad a little longer season than normal to get some mois-ture into the ground.”

Eastern Iowa received more of the early December pre-cipitation than did northwest and west central Iowa.

Terraces in a western Iowa farm field hold back snow, while other parts of the field have been swept clean by the windor the snow has melted in the sun. State Climatologist Harry Hillaker said a pattern of cooler temperatures is expected forthe near future, which is good coming off a year of drought. Dormant vegetation won’t be using the moisture in the soil.Last year Iowa recorded the warmest March in 140 years of weather records and vegetation came out of dormancy early.Photo by Gordon Wolf

NRCS offers science, conservation action to help landowners deal with drought

by Ciji Taylor, NRCS public affairs specialistThe USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service

water and climate and other experts are predictingdrought conditions in the West and places across the na-tion, marking a possible two-year drought in manystates.

Faced with limited water resources, farmers and ranch-ers are turning to the NRCS for expert advice and assis-tance to conserve water.

“Our agency is the agency that takes scientific researchand puts it into action for the benefit of landowners, pro-ducers and the American public,” said Dr. Wayne Hon-eycutt, NRCS deputy chief for science and technology.

More water can’t simply be created, but conservationpractices help soil improve water storage and use, whichprovides the best defense against drought, he added.

Honeycutt is no stranger to farming and soil. Afterhelping his dad on their Kentucky farm, he spent 24years researching soils for the USDA’s Agricultural Re-search Service. Today, he ensures NRCS has the mostup-to-date and scientifically based practices for gettingconservation on the ground.

Cover crops, no-tillage, crop residue management andcrop rotation are a few conservation practices that canmitigate impacts of drought. By not disturbing the soil,no-till farming keeps soil cooler longer reducing evapo-ration. It also builds up organic matter increasing theability to hold water.

“These practices help drought but achieve so muchmore than that,” said Honeycutt. “They help reducegreenhouse gases and help feed a growing populationbecause they are building healthy soil and resilience toextreme weather.”

The goal of many conservation programs offered bythe NRCS is to improve the landowner’s soil health.Healthy soil is more resilient to erosion and better ableto store water through extended drought periods – whichlead to a more durable operation.

“NRCS is putting science to work when it comes toconservation of our resources – be it soil, plants, ani-mals, water, air, or energy,” said Honeycutt.

With the help of financial and technical assistancefrom NRCS, many producers in the nation were able toweather last year’s drought and some even saw an in-crease in yields.

The NRCS website features a story about a Texasfarmer’s success using NRCS-enabled conservation prac-tices. It can be found at http://blogs.usda.gov/.

NRCS will present new drought information on a reg-ular basis to keep producers informed about conserva-tion practices to weather the drought. Individuals canlog onto www.nrcs.usda.gov for Drought Mondays andexplore ways to make their lands more resilient to ex-treme weather. Producers can also log onto WeatheringDrought: http://go.usa.gov/22V4, a one-stop shop forNRCS drought data and program information.

Summer camp changesat Iowa 4-H Center

by LuAnn Johansen, Sherry Glenn Iowa State University Extension and Outreach is com-

mitted to maintaining a sustainable 4-H youth develop-ment program that provides quality educational pro-grams for Iowa youth — including camping experiences.However, there will be some changes in the camping ex-periences that the Iowa 4-H Program will offer at theIowa 4-H Center this summer.

“The original intent was to offer a full camp schedulefor summer 2013 at the Iowa 4-H Center near Madrid,”said Cathann Kress, vice president for ISU Extension andOutreach. “However, we must limit the scope of pro-gramming we are able to offer at the center, due to staffchanges and budget realities.”

The 4-H camp program specialist has resigned to takeanother position, said LuAnn Johansen, assistant direc-tor for the Iowa 4-H program.

Program staff are being hired to facilitate camp pro-grams including archery, aquatics, climbing wall, creekwalks and science.

The traditional special interest residential and daycamps offered to the general public will not be availablethis summer.

All existing rental commitments at the Iowa 4-H Cen-ter are being honored. However, no additional non-4-Hrentals are being secured by the Iowa 4-H Program.

“We hope to add other 4-H camping experiences atthe center this summer,” Johansen said.

The ISU Extension and Outreach 4-H Youth Develop-ment management team is consulting with camping ex-perts from across the national 4-H system to determinepotential solutions to enhance and sustain Iowa 4-Hcamping opportunities into the future, Johansen said.

“K-12 youth outreach is an important niche for IowaState University and 4-H is our flagship program,” addedKress.

“Focusing Extension and Outreach efforts on our coremission will help 4-H in Iowa become a stronger pro-gram that reaches more youth, is more efficient and ef-fective, and is widely known as the premiere example ofyouth outreach in the nation.”

Iowa Department of Ag ends aflatoxin requirement for milkNo positive tests since November

The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stew-ardship is no longer requiring aflatoxin screening andtesting of milk received in Iowa. The lifting of the re-quirement was for milk received beginning on March 1.

The testing requirement was put in place on August31, 2012, due to the drought conditions in Iowa lastsummer, which can produce aflatoxin in corn.

During the six months in which the testing require-ment was in place the ag department saw only four loadsof milk test positive for aflatoxin and all four were de-stroyed. The last load to test positive was on November

7, 2012. As a result, approximately 88.46 million gallonsof milk were tested since the last load to test positive foraflatoxin.

“We appreciate the cooperation from milk processorsand farmers throughout this process as we work withthem to ensure the milk supply stays safe and free ofaflatoxin,” said Northey said.

The Department also conducted a state-wide corn sam-pling program last fall to determine the prevalence ofaflatoxin. The Department also has received a waiverfrom the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) thatallows FDA to allow corn containing more than 20 ppbof aflatoxin to be blended with non-aflatoxin containingcorn for animal feed for non-dairy animals. The FDA’scurrent blending waiver is in place until June 1, 2013.

The FDA has established guidelines for acceptableaflatoxin levels in corn based on its intended use. Corncontaining aflatoxin in concentrations of greater than 20ppb cannot be used for human consumption and cannotbe used for feed for dairy animals or for immature live-stock of others species. Corn containing aflatoxin at 100ppb or less can be used in breeding cattle and swine andmature poultry. Corn with 200 ppb or less can be usedwith finishing swine greater than 100 lbs. in weight andcorn with 300 ppb or less can be used in finishing beefcattle.

More information about aflatoxin in corn can be foundon the ISU Extension and Outreach “Dealing with Dis-asters” page at www.extension.iastate.edu/topic/recov-ering-disasters.

2013 Iowa farm custom ratesurvey follows recent trend

The 2013 Iowa Farm Custom Rate Survey followed the re-cent trend of small, but consistent increases in rates eachyear. According to William Edwards, Iowa State UniversityExtension and Outreach economist, most operations showedincreases of three to five percent over the average rates in the2012 survey.

The values reported on the survey are the average of allthe responses received for each category. The range of thehighest and lowest responses received is also reported. Thesevalues are intended only as a guide.

“There are many reasons why the rate charged in a par-

ticular situation should be above or below the average,” Ed-wards said. “These include the timeliness with which oper-ations are performed, quality and special features of the ma-chine, operator skill, size and shape of fields, number ofacres contracted and the condition of the crop for harvesting.The availability of custom operators in a given area will alsoaffect rates.”

Several new operations and services were included in the2013 survey, including vertical tillage, providing a seed ten-der, soybean combining with a draper head and mowinglawns.

The Ag Decision Maker offers a Decision Tool to help cus-tom operators and other farmers estimate their own costs forspecific machinery operations. The Machinery Cost Calcula-tor can be found under Crops, then Machinery in the Ag De-cision Maker table of contents.

ICA kicks off 2013 bull sales weekSales March 18 in Bloomfield,March 22 in Dunlap

The Iowa Cattlemen’s Association (ICA) will host its firsttwo performance-selected bull sales of the season on Mon-day, March 18, at the Bloomfield Livestock Auction Marketin Bloomfield, and Friday, March 22 at the Dunlap LivestockAuction in Dunlap. Both sales begin at 6:30 p.m.

“With the U.S. cattle industry reporting its lowest cattle in-ventory since 1952, the time is right to select a bull that willmaximize your investment in the cow-calf segment,” saidKellie Carolan, ICA seedstock manager. “The bulls consignedfor these sales have the genetic potential to add pounds toyour calf crop and dollars to your bottom line.”

The sales feature bulls that have met the standards of ICA’sBull Evaluation Program, indicating they will provide ge-netics with high economic value to farmers with either com-mercial cow-calf or seedstock production.

“Breeders have consigned an excellent set of bulls thatcarry breed-leading pedigrees and outstanding EPDs (ex-pected progeny differences),” said Carolan, who overseesthe evaluation program.

All bulls were tested from October 29, 2012, to February18, 2013, at Van Meter Feedyard near Guthrie Center. Thesale bulls represent the top 75 percent of the group tested,and were selected based on carcass, growth and reproduc-tive merit.

At both sales, “buyers will find high performance bullsdeveloped on a higher roughage ration this year,” Carolanstated. “The offerings at these sales had an average gain ofmore than 3.8 pounds per day on-test, plus many excel incalving ease and carcass traits.”

Bloomfield sale previewThree breeds are represented in the 27 yearling bulls that

will be sold in Bloomfield. They include 21 Angus, five Sim-mental and one Simmental Composite. In addition, eight fall-born bulls that will average 18-months of age at saletime,will be offered. These bulls were developed at the Kirk-wood Community College test station.

Breeders of the highest-gaining bull from each breed thatqualified for the Bloomfield sale will be honored prior to thesale by ICA and Zoetis Animal Health. Those to be honoredare Joe Mather, of State Center, who consigned Lot 32, anAngus bull sired by “Hoover Dam” which gained 4.40pounds per day.

Also, hitting a top mark was a Simmental bull, Lot 44,raised by Bill Wolfe, of Prole. This February son of “Mr NLCUpgrade U8676” gained 3.88 pounds per day. In the Sim-

mental Composite division, James Hogan, of Monticello, con-signed the top performing bull, Lot 46. This February son of“GW Lucky Ace 076TS” gained 3.75 pounds per day on the112-day test.

Dunlap sale previewFive breeds are represented in the bulls that will be sold

in Dunlap. The 58 yearling bulls include 29 Angus, 14 Sim-mental, 10 Charolais, three Simmental Composite, and twoHereford.

Again, breeders of the highest-gaining bull from eachbreed will be honored by ICA and Zoetis Animal Health.Those to be honored are: Larry Bridgewater, Walker, whoconsigned Lot 108, an Angus bull sired by “O’Neills BandoBoy” which gained 4.71 pounds per day.

Hitting the top mark for Simmentals tested is Lot 165,raised by Craig Utesch, of Correctionville. This son of“SVF/NJS Mo Better M217” gained 5.2 pounds per day. Thetop Charolais bull, Lot 153, came from Bill Zimmerman,Foley, Minnesota. His average daily gain was 4.11 pounds,and he is the son of “One Penny Xerox 0101.”

In the Simmental Composite division, James Hogan, Mon-ticello, consigned the top performing bull, Lot 177. This sonof “GW Lucky Ace 076TS” gained 3.75 pounds per day onthe 112-day test. And Eric and Matt Tiernan, Stuart, had thetop performing Hereford bull in the group. Their Lot 158 sonof “MSU TCF Revolution 4R” gained 3.84 pounds per day.

The ICA Bull Evaluation Program, which has been in placesince 1985, has two basic objectives: 1) to evaluate high-quality bulls in a common environment to benefit seedstockproducers and; 2) to identify and merchandise a select groupof bulls, which excel in traits that have a high economicvalue. To accomplish the second objective, each bull must un-dergo a rigid evaluation process.

“First, the bulls are placed on-test to evaluate their growthpotential. Once the bulls finish the testing period, they un-dergo an ultrasound exam to gather carcass merit informa-tion as it relates to rib eye area size, amount of back fat, andthe amount of intramuscular fat,” said Carolan.

One other sale date has been scheduled for bulls that havebeen tested through the ICA evaluation program. It will beon May 3 at the Tama Livestock Auction in Tama. A sale ofperformance-tested open heifers will also be held on thatdate.

For more information about the ICA Bull Evaluation Pro-gram or to receive a sale catalog, contact the ICA office at515-296-2266. Individuals may also view the sales catalogand other bull and heifer test information on the ICA web-site at www.iacattlemen.org.

Bull buyers could wincredit certificates

Cattle producers who buy their herd bulls from the IowaCattlemen’s Association Bull Evaluation Program (BEP)have an opportunity to win $500 credit on the cost of abull.

As a thank you for purchasing through the ICA pro-gram, a drawing will be conducted at each BEP sale thisspring for credit certificates. When a buyer purchasesan animal, the buyer number goes into a drawing for ei-ther a $500 or a $200 certificate toward the purchaseat the sale or at another ICA sale this year or next.

Winners will be drawn at the sales in Bloomfield onMarch 18 and in Dunlap on March 22.

“This is one way to say ‘thank you’ to all the folks usingthe ICA evaluation program to select their herd sires,”said Kellie Carolan, ICA seedstock manager.

Bull selection clinics willhelp in decision process

Cattle producers looking for their new herd bull at theupcoming Iowa Cattlemen’s Association bull sales canattend a selection clinic before the sales to learn aboutusing information from the catalogs to make a good se-lection.

“Sorting through performance measures and ExpectedProgeny Differences (EPDs) doesn’t have to be a chore ora mystery,” said Denise Schwab, Iowa State University Ex-tension and Outreach Beef Program Specialist.

ISU’s Iowa Beef Center (IBC) staff will host bull selec-tion clinics prior to the bull sales at Bloomfield on March18, and Dunlap on March 22. The clinics will start at4:30 p.m. at both locations.
