Poultry enterprise lends farming

experience to kidsBoone County Hartsook family raisesCornish game hens, broilers, turkeys

by Emma Struve

Many young Iowa families are at least a gener-ation removed from the farm and yearn to returnor start their own but lack the resources.

Christa and Greg Hartsook both grew up onfamily farms.

As adults, Christa said, “We wanted to give ourchildren the same kind of experiences we had.”

However, it was not possible to undertake alarge-scale farming operation.

They both enjoyed livestock and had a passionfor local foods.

When their children – sons Caleb, now seven,and five-year-old Lucas – were small, the

Hartsooks started raising broilers in the existingbuildings on their 10-acre homestead nearMadrid.

“They are absolutely thrilled to death when itis chick day,” Christa remarked. The boys helpher get the buildings ready and the chicks situ-ated when they come home from the post office.

Prior to undertaking a poultry business,Christa said she did a lot of online research espe-cially about possible diseases, care and produc-tion methods.

Currently their broilers are pasture-raised andreceive a supplement of grain.

The broilers produced over the summer alwayssell out.

When it came time to decide what type of ani-mals to raise in growing their operation. Christasaid they asked, “What could we expand intothat other producers aren’t doing?” At that time,they decided to raise Cornish game hens.

Just last year, the Hartsooks purchased andgrew 50 turkeys. Since they sold so well, nextyear’s production schedule will include turkeysas well.

In fact, total production in 2009 also included800 Cornish game hens and 100 broilers.

The poultry is obtained from Iowa hatcheries,Christa said. Many birds come from Hoover’sHatchery in Rudd.

As the Easter season approaches families will beundertaking the egg dying tradition. Many use hard-cooked eggs. Cayla Westergard, Iowa Egg Council direc-tor of consumer affairs, shared the following tips aboutegg handling.

How to properly hard-cook an egg:1. Place eggs in a single layer in saucepan. Add enough

water to come to at least 1-inch above eggs. Quicklybring to boiling, and turn off heat.

2. Remove pan from burner. Let eggs stand, covered, inhot water 15 minutes for large eggs (12 for medium, 18minutes for extra large eggs)

3. Immediately run cold water over eggs or place themin ice water until completely cooled (about 15 minutes)

4. To remove shell, crackle it gently by tapping it allover. Roll egg between hands to loosen shell.

5. Start peeling at large end. Hold egg under runningcold water or dip in a bowl of water to help ease off shell.

Shells from eggs that are one to two weeks old will peeleasier than from fresh eggs, Westergard noted. Eggsexpire 30 days after the pack date and should be kept inthe refrigerator no longer than a month.

When handling Easter eggs, Westergard advised:• Wash hands at every stage in the process-cooking,

cooling, dyeing, and hiding• If hard-boiled eggs cannot be colored right away,

store them in the refrigerator• Do not color or hide cracked eggs• When coloring eggs, use water warmer than the eggs• After eggs have been hidden and found, keep them

refrigerated• Do not eat cracked eggs or eggs that have been out of

refrigeration more than 2 hoursFor more information about eggs, including recipes,

ISU professor’s “SimPig” sensor nowcommercially available

Livestock producers know the first few hours ofan animal's life are important. Conditions need tobe right to ensure a baby animal will grow into aproductive part of the farm operation.

Using flame-based infrared heating to maintaina warm environment for young animals is a com-mon practice. Usually the heaters are turned onfull blast for a set period of time.

"As energy conservation measures become a toppriority, methods are needed that provide the bestconditions for young animals in enclosed housingat the lowest possible energy input," said StevenHoff, Iowa State University professor of agricul-tural and biosystems engineering.

Hoff saw the need for a device that would sensethe effective radiant temperature in an animalpen and turn heaters off and on.

To test prototype sensors, a simulated pen areawas constructed with concrete floors and walls.Simulated pigs, dubbed "SimPigs," were createdfrom rain gutter downspout sections.

Temperature sensors were installed inside eachSimPig, which then were filled with fiberglassinsulation. The SimPigs were painted a flat-grayenamel, which Hoff said "provided absorptive andemissive characteristics representative of a pig'sskin."

Ten SimPigs were used to sense the heatingzone. Ambient air temperatures in the pen alsowere monitored. Temperature data from bothsources was recorded at five-minute intervals, assensor locations and heat levels varied.

"The SimPigs gave excellent feedback tochanges in heater output," Hoff stated. "Thisexperiment confirmed it's possible to use a shield-ed sensor to control an infrared heater. While thisexperiment used simulated young pigs as the sub-ject, the sensing system could be used for anyyoung animal that needs a controlled microcli-mate. And it may help hold down costs critical tothe bottom line."

The company funding the research, Ray Dot,Inc. of Cokato, Minnesota, has developed a com-mercially available sensor based on Hoff's proto-type.

Heat sensor can save energy for livestock producers

Iowa State University Professor Steven Hoff cre-ated prototype sensors, dubbed "SimPigs," fromrain gutter downspout sections to sense the effec-tive radiant temperature in an animal pen andturn heaters off and on to save energy. The projectprovided excellent feedback to changes in heateroutput, and now Hoff ’s prototype has been devel-oped by a Minnesota company into a commercial-ly available sensor. Photo submitted

America’s next wave of agricultural leadersand innovators will take ag’s message to CapitolHill during National Ag Week, March 14-20.

Student representatives from FFA, 4-H andAFA from across the country will meet with theircongressional representatives to emphasize ag’scritical role in our culture and our economy.

“Our theme this year focuses on telling agricul-ture’s amazing story,” said Jenny Pickett, presi-dent of the Agriculture Council of America(ACA), which hosts the nationwide campaign.“National Ag Day gives these young people thechance to inspire our nation’s leaders and letAmericans know that agriculture is a part of allof us.”

John Deere and ADM are the 2010 Ag DayPartners. Their support makes the students’ par-ticipation possible. In addition, it provides forplanning materials for grassroots Ag Day effortsas well as the key events in Washington, D.C.

Each year, a key component of the Ag Day plan-ning and events is an essay contest for seventh-to 12th-grade students across the country.Students are invited to submit an original essayof 450 words about the importance of agriculture.The subject of this year’s Essay Contest is“American Agriculture: Abundant, Affordable,Amazing.”

The national winner will receive a $1,000 prizeand a round-trip ticket to Washington, D.C., to berecognized during the March 18 NationalCelebration of Agriculture Dinner at the USDAWhitten Building Patio. Each statewide winnerwill receive a $100 prize.

Kimberly Schroeder from Remsen is Iowa’sstate winner.

National Ag Day (March 20, 2010) is organizedby the Agriculture Council of America. ACA is anonprofit organization composed of leaders inthe agricultural, food and fiber community, dedi-cating its efforts to increasing the public's aware-ness of agriculture's role in modern society.Learn more at www.agday.org.

Research team investigates use of natural compounds as repellants and insecticides

When Joel Coats washed his dog with an orange-based shampoo, he was amazed when fleasjumped off and expired. He immediately wantedto know why.

That was 20 years ago. Since that moment,Coats, an entomology professor, and several grad-uate students have studied the natural repellentsfound in oranges, catnip and hedge apples.

Following a trail based in folklore, Coats saidthey have investigated more than 50 essential oilsproduced by plants as repellents.

Five patents later, Coats stated he's on the cuspof investigating the molecular basis for these nat-ural repellents and insecticides.

"I've been waiting to get the right people and thefunding and it's finally coming together," Coatssaid.

What's coming together is a microscopic view atthe molecular make up of certain compoundscalled terpenes. Molecular-level research is easierthan it would have been 20 years ago, but it's still

an intricate investigation. Molecules of the ter-penes are so small that more than 6 sextillion (6with 21 zeros after it) could fit inside a pea.

Building on data from scientists throughout theworld and using computers makes it easier tostudy the molecular characteristics today. Thesoftware can analyze more than 100 characteris-tics, such as topography, shape, polarity and solu-bility.

"It's very arduous to separate and do testing atthe molecular level," Coats explained. "We've sep-arated the individual terpenes out of the oils thatare the best repellents and best insecticides andnow we are looking at the molecular structuresand those relationships and how the structure isrelated to potency."

It's the same type of research pharmaceuticalcompanies use to determine the best analgesics forpain relief or other prescriptions. Coats is search-ing for the mechanism of action - how compoundsaffect insects.

Several of the insecticidal compounds he'sstudying over-stimulate the central nervous sys-tems of insects, which literally stops them in theirtracks. Coats stated bugs that are sprayed withthis compound, freeze within five seconds and oneminute later they're history.

"Green chemistry is definitely the future ininsect control," he said.

An advantage of using natural compounds isthat there is no residue. Since the product isplant-based, it readily decomposes and disap-pears.

Currently, a handful of companies are market-ing the essential oils, but few are researching themolecular structure of the compounds.

Looking for the right stuff means comparing theessential oils of several plants. Gretchen Paluch, agraduate student in entomology, is using molecu-lar modeling to isolate the most potent repellentsand predicting the effectiveness of the next ones topursue.

To test the molecular reactions for toxicity to theinsects, another graduate student grinds up flies'heads and extracts the gamma amino butyric acid(GABA) in a centrifuge. GABA is the mechanismthat controls part of the nervous system in flies.The GABA over-stimulation is the key to freezinginsects in their tracks.

Coats stated they are just beginning to under-stand the molecular structures that have protect-ed plants for eons. From Vietnamese pemou woodto hedge apples, the molecular clues are there, itjust takes time and minute detective work to dis-cover the answers.

Coats' dog Terpie, which is short forTerthiophene, a chemical found in marigolds, diedin 2004. She enjoyed a flea-free life.

Pork producers interested in learning howtheir finances could be affected by changing theweaning age should investigate a new spread-sheet available from the Iowa Pork IndustryCenter (IPIC) at Iowa State University (ISU.)

Developed by Derald Holtkamp of the ISUCollege of Veterinary Medicine’s VeterinaryDiagnostic and Production Animal Medicine,the free spreadsheet helps producers evaluateeffects of increasing weaning age, includinghow their breeding inventory must change.

“This is a breed-to-finish production andbudgeting spreadsheet that evaluates both thecosts and benefits of these changes,” Holtkampsaid. “It also assists producers in determininghow much their inventory must change foralternative weaning ages to ensure the farrow-ing capacity of a farm is not exceeded.”

Holtkamp explained the spreadsheet is easyto use and understand. Users enter operation-specific production and financial information todevelop a baseline, and can evaluate alterna-tive breeding herd inventories and weaningages for up to four scenarios. Total annual prof-it for the operation is the preferred economicoutcome to evaluate the scenarios relative tothe baseline.

“Alternative market hog prices and diet costsmay be entered,” Holtkamp said, “By doing thisa producer can see if the profit increases ordecreases as these parameters change whileincreasing weaning age.”

The “Evaluation of Weaning Age Calculator”is available at no charge in Excel® 2003 andExcel® 2007 versions. Both are available bycompleting a registration form on the IPIC Website. Go to http://www.ipic.iastate.edu/soft-ware.html and select "Spreadsheets.” Thenchoose the appropriate registration link for theversion of the spreadsheet.

Users must have Excel® 2007 installed ontheir computer to use the 2007 version of thespreadsheet. If unsure which version of Excel®is installed on a computer, choose the Excel®2003 version of the spreadsheet. It will work ifwhether Excel® 2003 or Excel® 2007 installed.

Since the spreadsheet was first made avail-able in mid-January, producers from 13 U.S.states, three Canadian provinces and a halfdozen other countries have requested andreceived the spreadsheets.

New spreadsheet helps pork producersevaluate economics ofincreasing weaning age

With all the snow thiswinter, I’m learningmore “code” words andphrases for those of uswho live on farms.

For instance, whenthe school is running“alternate bus routes”what they REALLYmean is “good luck get-ting your children toschool if you live on agravel road becausewe’re not going to evenattempt it.”

On a couple “alternatebus route” mornings, Iwas white knuckling thedrive into town with thetwo boys.

A few years ago, I hadan acquaintance whoharped on me constantlyabout me having a four-wheel drive vehiclebecause he didn’t see thepurpose of it.

I would have liked tosee him get into townwith his little car thiswinter. Wouldn’t havehappened.

Here’s a riddle thatyou already know thepunch line to: what’sworse than four to sixfeet of snow piled up inthe ditch area of a coun-try road in a winter?

You guessed it...thatsame snow melting inthe spring. We have a lotof mud at our farm,

which is probably par forthe course in westernIowa.

The pile of snowpushed back from theroad, past the ditch, andonto our fence is so tall I thought about getting some spray paintand doing my own graffi-ti.

I thought maybe I’dmake a “MountWelchmore” but I’m notthat good of an artist.

Hopefully thesnowmelt dries outquickly so my husbandcan get into the field andwon’t be crabby againthis spring.

We had our first springcalf last week, rightbefore we were going tomove the cows from thewinter pasture into thecalving space. He’s a cutelittle calf, but as his momis one of the “mean, pro-tective” ones, my hus-band and son can’t getclose enough to tag it.

Last Sunday we movedthe cows across the road,and the little one trottedright alongside the cowsand bull almost rightwhere they were sup-posed to go.

I say almost because itrequired a bit of work.

We live in the hills,and the area we cross the

road with the cows is atthe bottom of two hills.

So I stand part way upon one hill, and my boysstand by the side of theroad part way up theother hill.

Because of all thesnow, the cows couldn’texactly see the lane theywere supposed to use, sothey started coming upmy hill.

It took a little bit ofstaring down a few dozencows ... and a bull ... but Igot them turned aroundand going where theywere supposed to go.

My husband told melater he was impressed,though I’m not sure why.All I had to do to get thecows turned around isholler and wave myarms, kind of like gettingmy farmer husband topay attention when he’sin the field. I have expe-rience with that!

Speaking of cattle, Iwould like to thank CBSfor blurring out the rearends of pooping cows inan episode of TheAmazing Race lastmonth. It’s good to knowthat, while this country’sfamilies are inundatedwith less than family-friendly ads (Viagra any-one?), they have beensaved from seeing poop.

With all the “stuff” on tel-evision, you’d think theywouldn’t have a problemwith showing the realthing.

At least they are tryingto educate the generalpublic by showing wherewe get milk.

When I traveled toNew York while in highschool, I wondered whythe children’s zoo had“common” animals suchas cows, pigs, goats,sheep, ducks and rabbits.

All the zoos I had beenthrough up until thenhad interesting animalssuch as giraffes, mon-keys, tigers, bears, seals,dolphins, lions, and oth-ers we can’t find in theUnited States.

(On a side note, we’reprobably one of the fewfamilies to get throughthe San Diego Zoo in acouple of hours duringmy dad’s less-than-laid-back years in the 80’s.Just a few phrases fromdad during that trip: “It’san elephant, girls. You’veseen an elephant. Youdon’t need to read aboutit. We have encyclope-dias at home. That’s whywe have them. Look it upwhen we get home. Keepwalking. It’s a tiger, girls.You’ve seen a tigerbefore...and so on and soforth.)

Growing up in Iowa,the Central ParkChildren’s Zoo animalsare ones we saw almostall the time.

I’m sure to a native bigcity kid, the sight ofmimes and street per-formers wouldn’t besomething new, but acow trotting past Macy’swould be a sight to see!

Well, that and the pileof manure she leftbehind!

Small works of art were entries in Iowa Egg Council contest by Emma Struve

When a Sac County artist decorated her firstcontest-worthy egg for the 2009 Iowa State Fair,she never imagined it would win her $300. SandraWietzel of Early created “American Goth-egg” forthe Iowa Egg Council’s annual contest in 2009 andwon third place.

Wietzel’s husband suggested that she enter thecontest after he read about it in the newspaper. “Ihave been a freelance artist all my life,” she said.Though, Wietzel added, she had never painted anegg before. It was a new experience.

“American Goth-egg” is Wietzel’s egg-shapedrendition of the iconic Grant Wood painting“American Gothic” featuring a stoic woman andman with pitch fork in front of a red barn. Someof Wietzel’s adaptations included adding a barnquilt to the barn in the background as Sac Countyis known for its many and various barn quilts.Also, she continued to illustrate Iowa’s crops andproduce all the way around the egg. Wood’s origi-nal, of course, was flat. The idea initially came toher, Wietzel said, as a play on words “gothic” togoth-egg.” She had, however, done other renditionsof the painting, Wietzel added, so was familiarwith it. Eleven artists entered eggs in last year’scontest. Wietzel watched the live judging at theIowa State Fair where the eggs were displayed inthe building featuring crafts and textiles.

The egg decorating process began by punchingtwo holes in the egg and removing the contentswhile leaving the shell intact. The holes on the topand bottom were then sealed, Wietzel explained.She used acrylic paint, and then as a final touchcoated the egg with a clear spray so it would beglossy.

The Wietzels have been married 40 years.During that time Sandra has served as a 4-Hleader and Sunday school teacher. “I alwaysenjoyed the crafts,” Wietzel noted.

Research can help geneticists and swine breeders

Kyle Schulte takes his degree work on the road.The animal science graduate student is a certifiedswine ultrasound technician who travels acrossIowa, providing an inside look at the pigs in coun-ty and state livestock shows.

Schulte, who has his undergraduate degree fromIowa State, grew up on a crop and livestock farmin Benton County (East Central Iowa). He starteddeveloping an interest in swine research when hebecame a research assistant for Tom Baas, profes-sor of animal science, during his junior year atIowa State University. Baas is a swine specialistwhose research focuses on swine breeding, porkquality and the use of real-time ultrasound forprediction of intramuscular fat in live pigs.

Now Schulte's research program and much ofhis summer work involve the use of ultrasoundscanning.

"My graduate research project compares theaccuracy of different ultrasound scanners andmethods of scanning for the prediction of intra-muscular fat percentage in the loin of live pigs,"Schulte explained. "Accurate prediction allows forgeneticists and swine breeders to place selectionemphasis on specific pork quality traits, makefaster improvements, and enhance the consumerpork eating experience."

Judges of live swine shows visually analyze thepigs and rank them on their combination of char-acteristics like muscularity, skeletal width, struc-tural soundness and eye appeal. Real time ultra-sound images captured by ISU technicians atshows are used to provide a ranking of the pigsbased solely on predicted carcass merit.

It's technical, but many people understand theconcept.

"When most people think of ultrasound, theythink of a developing baby. Ultrasound waves arehigh frequency sound waves. Visible images ofstructures inside a living human or animal arepossible because ultrasound waves penetrate andreflect off different tissues such as muscle, fat andbone at different rates," Schulte stated. "We useultrasound to measure the potential carcass com-position (percent fat free lean) of live marketweight pigs."

As a member and current leader of ISU's scan-ning team, Schulte said he enjoys all aspects ofproviding this important service at an affordableprice for dozens of Iowa counties.

"The number of certified ultrasound techniciansin the state and even the nation is limited. Theequipment is very expensive, and I only know of acouple firms outside ISU that offer their servicesto county fairs," he added.

Schulte stated he's lost track of how many pigshe's scanned over the past four years at ISU, butit's probably close to 4,000. During the summer of2009 alone, ISU technicians scanned at nearly 50different Iowa shows, including the Iowa StateFair 4-H Derby Swine Show.

"It's always a good time. There are usually peo-ple who are taken with what I am doing and I getlots of questions from them. I've even had somepeople exclaim, 'Look at the baby!'" Schulte said."I enjoy answering the questions and would like tothink they learn something."

Scanning is a large part of Schulte's life as agraduate student, but he also finds time for a vari-ety of other swine industry-related ventures. Heand his brother own a small show pig operation,he judges youth swine shows and swine showman-ship competitions and he serves as ultrasoundscanning instructor for some programs and com-panies.

Community Supported Agriculture(CSA) programs provide small produc-ers marketing options and consumers away to access fresh, locally grownproducts from vegetables and fruits tomeats and dairy.

Boone County poultry producersChrista and Greg Hartsook utilize the“Farm to Folk” CSA based in Ames tomarket their broilers, Cornish gamehens, and turkeys.

Marilyn Andersen, Farm to Folkcoordinator, said that the CSA is a col-laboration of independent producersand that her role is to facilitate ordersand strategize how to equitably growthe number of consumers and produc-ers involved in the program.

Essentially, Andersen explained, theCSA model is that consumers purchasea share at the beginning of the yearand receive deliveries of productsthroughout the season.

“They share the risk and support theproducer from the beginning,” she stated.

Producers are accepted by applica-tion with an emphasis on those whogrow products in a sustainable way.

“The model seems to be conducive toset-up in other places,” Andersenremarked, since a CSA works just on alocal level.

Farm to Folk started as the MagicBean Stalk CSA with one producer in1995. When more growers joined andcollaborated, the program reorganizedin 2006. Now, there are about 10 pro-ducers and approximately 200 con-sumers.

Andersen advised those interested inCSAs to consult Practical Farmers ofIowa (515-232-5661, practicalfarm-ers.org) and ISU Extension(www.extension.iastate.edu).

Marketing food locally brings value to producers, consumers

For the poultry operation, the Hartsooks retrofittedexisting buildings, including an old barn; and sinceproduction is seasonal, the buildings do not have to beheated.

“The barn is why we bought the property in the firstplace,” Christa exclaimed.

A challenge experienced by the Hartsooks, commonto many livestock producers, was where and how tomarket the product.

Christa said the family considered farmer’s marketsbut decided it was not a feasible option with two smallchildren, though others have had luck marketingfresh poultry in that way.

“Depending on your location, local foods offertremendous opportunities,” Christa said.

She advised researching where gaps may exist insupply and what consumers would like to purchase inadvance of starting an operation.

Christa works at Iowa State University Extensionwith the Value Added Agriculture program and appre-ciated being able to also bounce ideas off her col-leagues about the poultry venture. Greg works with aswine pharmaceutical company.

An expanding marketing option is throughCommunity Supported Agriculture (CSA) programssuch as “Farm to Folk” in Ames, which has about 200active members.

The Hartsooks also sell directly to the Wheatfieldgrocery in Ames, as well as local restaurants.

To sell in that manner, the poultry must beprocessed at a state certified facility, so they take thebirds to Hansen’s Poultry in Kimballton.

Since purchasing the first broilers, the Hartsookshave produced poultry for five years, which Christasimply said, “is a nice seasonal enterprise for us.”

Farmers deal with snowbound cornby Leslie Reed, Omaha World-Herald

At a time of year when they normally startgreasing planters for spring, some farmers arestill trying to finish their 2009 harvest.

"I've farmed for 35 years and I've never pickedcorn in March before this," said Bob Bumsted, wholives in nearby Soldier.

For Bumsted and his sons, it proved to be afruitless attempt March 4 to start combiningabout 450 acres of corn - roughly one-fifth of hiscrop - still standing from last fall.

A hard 18-inch layer of crusty snow in their fieldnear Ricketts was more than the combine couldhandle.

"The snow's too deep, the combine can't pushthrough. Even with chains on the tires, we just sitthere and spin," said son Kyle Bumsted. "It's toohard to steer. It's slick."

Although Nebraska and Iowa produced abumper corn crop last year, the harvest startedlate because of a cool, wet year.

Then the first heavy snows hit easternNebraska and western Iowa in early December,essentially keeping many farmers out of the fielduntil now.

"It's been right at three months today since wecombined any corn," said Kyle, 25, who farms withhis dad and brother Kevin.

The Bumsteds say they know of 25 to 30 farmersin their area who are in the same boat.

Those who keep agricultural statistics for thetwo states, however, say the bulk of the corn har-vest was completed by early January.

According to surveys by the NationalAgricultural Statistics Service, Nebraska harvest-ed 96 percent of its corn and Iowa completed 98percent by January 4.

"In Iowa, we pretty much got it done, but there'ssome pockets," said Brad Parks, deputy director ofthe agency's Iowa field office.

Parks and Scott Keller, a statistician with theNebraska field office, noted that the mere fact thatthey were tracking harvest progress in Januarytells the story.

Usually they're done with crop progress reportsby early December. Keller said he doesn't knowthe last time his office issued a harvest report inJanuary.

The Bumsteds figure they'll have to wait at leastanother week before they can harvest corn.

They farm hilly ground, where the snow seemsto be lingering. Neighbors who farm bottomground have been able to return to the fields soon-er.

Although the weather has been hard on thecorn, the grain is well worth harvesting, they said.

"We'll get what we can get and hope for thebest," said Kyle Bumsted.

"That's my paycheck," said Bob Bumsted.Now the Bumsteds are starting to worry about

spring mud and the need to clear the fields in timefor planting. They've already decided to hire outtheir fertilizer application so they can keep com-bining.

"We've got roughly 50 to 60 days before cornplanting season," said Kyle Bumsted. "Worst casescenario, we'll be combining at the same time weneed to be planting."

It's been a pretty grumpy winter - "just ask mywife," said Bob Bumsted, who never before had aharvest go past Christmas.

Now he's just hoping to get his crop in the binbefore his birthday.

He turns 55 on March 30.

2009 harvest continues into 2010

Lean hog trade appears to have topped and hasheld a flat to lower tone this week. Granted we doremain above most support levels so chart sup-port could still show up this week into early next.The weekly net futures changes are 55 lower onApril heading into Thursday’s trade and June isdown 122. Cash trade will likely be steady tolower the rest of the week. Pork carcass valuesslipped giving packers little reason to pay up forlive supplies, and they have retreated a little bitthis week. We still advise selling is to sell lightrallies that may occur in the futures near term,and hedgers view this past week and the verynear future as the best point to lock in profitablemargins. I am not in the camp that future prof-itability should turn bad to give us losses like we

have seen during periods over the past severalyears, but we currently have on paper some ofthe best margins. Therefore call us to discussyour plan or to get a better plan in place, this isa good time to do it.

WHEAT 3/11/10Wheat trade is lower on the week after three days

of trade due to chart selling and the USDA giving usa 1 billion bushel carryover figure on the monthlySupply and Demand Estimates released onWednesday. The net weekly changes on the May con-tracts are 12 lower in Chicago, KC is down a dime andMinneapolis is down 6 cents. The spring wheat hasadvanced on the winter wheat contracts, but loweroverall prices may lead to lower spring wheat acres.The market will debate about this over the comingweeks. The May Chicago contract printed a new lowfor the move but appeared to find support. Chicagofutures are down nearly 50 cents from the high print-ed on March 1, down $1.05 from the early Januaryhigh and down around $1.40 from the November high,so we are pricing-in negative items. The market maybounce, but after a light near term bounce the onlyquestion is why do we need to find support? TheUSDA brought the US carryover up to 1.001 billionbushels; domestic usage totals around 2 billion andexpected production this year is estimated at justunder 2 billion bushels. Wheat needs to make its wayin feed ration to lower our carryovers, but that wouldhelp give us a downward spiral along with the rowcrops if we start taking away traditional feed grainusage. The March USDA Global Carryover jumped 1million metric tons up to 196.8 million tons. U.S.wheat remains more expensive than our world com-petitors with Black Sea wheat trading at a $25-$60discount per ton over the past several months. Therehave also been some reports out of Europe that avail-able stocks will not decline as much as originallythought as wheat acres have been expanded thereand weather has been beneficial to winter wheatgrowing conditions. The weekly export sales werereported at 407,900 tons of old crop and 40,500 tons ofnew crop which was at the high end of expectations,but this does not change the bigger bearish picture.Hedgers call with questions.

CATTLE 3/11/10Live cattle trade has held the firmer trend due to

chart buying and supportive fundamentals, but no realfresh news has been around. The weekly net changesheading into Thursday are 95 higher on April LiveCattle, June are 15 higher and May Feeder Cattle are90 lower. There is light downward momentum, due tosome weakness on Wednesday, even though we are hold-ing above support levels on most contracts. This hasbeen a big rally in the futures, so further profit takingmay be needed to actually change the trends to lowerbefore the week is over. Concerns in regard to the rallyin futures and beef prices outpacing demand may illus-trate themselves with a further correction near term.May Feeder Cattle rallied from $94 to $107, a correctiondown to $102 would not be out of line even if you want

to remain a cattle bull looking forward this year. Cashtrade has been called steady to $1 higher this week dueto short bought packers, but so far we have not seen anysizeable trade. Packers likely do not want to risk nega-tive margins by paying higher prices, but feedlot man-agers remain optimistic since they were able to force$92 trade late last week. The cutout was mixed onWednesday with choice down 2 at 149.49 and select wasup 18 at 149.20. The cutout remains at good levels, butwe usually do not like seeing the select in line withchoice.

CORN 3/11/10Corn trade has been lower this week due to a

negative USDA report and chart selling. The week-ly net change, after three days of trade, is arounda dime lower. On the bright side we did not seri-ously challenge the February lows and the marketis concerned about wet planting weather. This maylimit downside, but we are still concerned the mar-ket may need to find a trading range whichinvolves lower lows. The USDA released theirMarch World Supply and Demand EstimatesWednesday morning. They revised the final 2009production number as announced following theJanuary report. The revised production estimatewas 20 million bushels lower than the Januarynumber which was around 50 million bushels lessversus market expectations. The 2009/10 Marchcarryover grew by 70 million versus last month upto 1.799 million; this was due to lower usage/ampleworld supplies. We also saw a 6 million metric tonjump in the global carryover up to 140 milliontons. The weekly export sales were only 338,600tons which was below expectations. The poorweekly sales report along with a net negative soy-bean report should be negative for the grain tradethe rest of the week. In the near term/rest ofMarch, trade should remain sideways with achance of printing a new low for the move. A flatmarket with maybe a bounce could occur here dueto weather/planting uncertainties, since the ener-gies have held up. Weather and the plantedacreage should control where we go over the nextmonth, but the good world supplies, slippingethanol margins, and the poor U.S. exports shouldlimit upside. Hedgers call with questions.

SOYBEANS 3/11/10Soybean trade has held up this week despite downside

moves in wheat and corn, but it is still hard to paint abullish picture for beans looking forward. The weeklyMay contract net changes heading into Thursday are 15higher in beans, meal is $1.50 higher and soybean oil isup around 100 points. The monthly USDA report wasmixed for beans with the domestic carryover at 190 mil-lion bushels versus 210 last month and an average tradeguess of 195 million. The global carryover numberjumped to 60.67 million tons, up nearly 1 million tonsfrom last month due to a 1 million ton jump in theBrazilian production. So some positive near term itemsremain, but the bigger picture is negative as SouthAmerican beans are now becoming available. The nextreport to look forward to is the quarterly stocks andMarch planting intentions report at the end of themonth. Early expectations ahead of the March 31 USDAPlanting Intention should be mostly higher than the 77million number from the USDA Outlook Forum. We arein the camp the soybean acreage will be closer to 79 mil-lion than 77 million acres. The soybean planted numbercould still grow if the wet weather persists over the nextseveral weeks and corn planting is delayed. So a bullishgrain argument near term due to wet weather shouldreally be viewed as negative for beans, which the mar-ket has not really been talking about. The bullish soy oilmarket and biodiesel future usage have allowed thatmarket to move to new highs on Wednesday and keepthe soy market from falling apart. We continue to havebigger supply side items in our vision that cloud anybullish argument near-term. The global carryover over60 million tons is an item that has my demand expecta-tions for the new crop year down and our acreage shouldbe up raising the carryover an easy 150 million bushelsversus this past year and maybe as much as 300 million.The weekly export sales report seen Thursday morningmay be a start to a pattern of upcoming negative news.Over 250,000 tons of China and “Unknown” sales cance-lations gave us a net negative weekly total at 115,800tons for 2009/10, but new crop sales were at 65,000 tons.Meal sales were very low at 1,900 tons and bean oil saleswere a negative 9,400 tons due to cancelations. Hedgersget caught up on desired sales levels if you have not, anddo not be surprised for lower trade as we move throughthis month even though we have seen a few positivechart moves this week.

With memories of the last fall’s difficult har-vest still all too vivid for farmers, this winter haspresented its own challenges. And now, accordingto an Iowa meteorologist, a wet spring is predict-ed.

“Soil moisture levels are at or above fieldcapacity. It will not take abnormally highamounts of April precipitation to leave large por-tions of the Corn Belt too wet for effective plant-ing,” said Elwynn Taylor, Iowa State University(ISU) ag meteorologist. “The El Niño weather ofFebruary brought substantial moisture in a bandacross the southern United States. As the weath-er patterns migrate north in the spring, a wetplanting season is a threat.”

One of challenges facing farmers will be com-paction.

“Farmers did what they had to do to get cropsout last fall, but there will be ramifications,” saidDavid Write, Iowa Soybean Association (ISA)director of production Research. “Heavy wagons,trucks, grain carts and combines moving acrosswet ground all contributed to soil compaction.There are now some things farmers need towatch for in the 2010 soybean crop.”

The heavy snow accumulation is going to causefurther complications this spring. If the waterfrom melting snow isn’t able to percolate downthrough the soil, fields will be wet, even withoutexcessive additional rainfall. This will put addi-tional pressure on Iowa’s farmers to delay springtillage to keep from further compacting the soil.

“Spring is not the time to alleviate compaction,but farmers will want to avoid creating morecompaction,” stated ISU Extension AgEngineering Specialist Greg Brenneman. “Withwetter soil, that is more of a challenge. I wouldadvise farmers to not try to get out in the fieldvery early. Doing so and working wet soil willcreate more compaction.”

In particular, farmers who didn’t get to do asmuch field work as they would have liked lastfall may feel like their window of opportunity isshort. It will be a challenge to let fields dry out.

“Soil has a natural way, through thawing andfreezing, to remedy soil compaction and improvesoil structure,” ISU Extension Agronomist MahdiAl-Kaisi said. “Stable soil structure is like abuilding block formation that is able to hold upthe weight of implements running over them,

while still forming conduits for water to movethrough and providing natural aeration for a rootto grow. Because of the stable and strong soilstructure, untilled soil can tolerate the weight ofmachinery. Tillage breaks up that soil structure,reducing the soil’s strength to hold the weight ofheavy equipment.”

While farmers think tillage will reduce soilcompaction, Al-Kaisi stated it will actually onlymake it worse. It won’t cure the deep soil com-paction and, by disturbing the upper soil layer,will destroy soil’s natural structure or soil aggre-gates and creates another layer of compactionunder heavy rain and field traffic.

“Put simply, the more wheels and machinerythat move over wet soil, the more compaction willtake place,” ISU Extension Field AgronomistJohn Holmes said. “Avoid making any more tripsthan absolutely necessary across a field with wetsoil.

“This may be a year for farmers who work theirsoil to try doing less tillage than they normallywould,” Holmes continued. “For instance, if theydidn’t get chiseling done last fall, they mayforego it this spring and just do the secondarytillage just before planting to prepare theseedbed. Though it might be a challenging yearto try something new, they may decide to trysome no-till, especially in soybeans, where theydidn’t get fall tillage done or in fields where corndidn’t get combined until spring.”

Holmes added, “In parts of the state wherefarmers feel they must do something, this is ayear when an implement called a rotary harrowmight be useful, though in most of the state,these are not common.”

Not the same as a rotary hoe, the rotary har-row has single lines of heavy teeth that pokeholes in the ground without stirring it up andallows water to penetrate. It can dry out theground and yet isn’t aggressive.

Though researchers have documented the yieldbenefits of early planting, agronomists empha-size it is more important the soil is ready. A fewdays can make a tremendous difference in thesoil’s condition.

“Being patient will pay off,” Al-Kaisi stated.“Farmers need to know their own soil and theirfields.”

Planted in wet fields, young soybean seedlingscould have problemswith root development,which may, in turn leadto further problems.

“I’d encourage farm-ers to plant seed with

excellent resistance to diseases,” Holmesadvised. “Since the seed will likely be going in acold, damp soil, it would be a good idea to treat itwith a fungicide.”

“There is no question that seed treatments canincrease yield in fields where risk of seedling dis-eases are high,” stated ISU Plant PathologistX.B. Yang. “Seed treatment will not improve ger-mination rate, but will protect against furtherstand loss if fields have a history of damping offand the spring is wet. If the planting season isgoing to be cool and wet, the value of using treat-ed seeds increases.”

“Wet, saturated soil conditions at planting canincrease the risk of damping-off caused byPythium and Phytophthora,” stated ISU PlantPathologist Alison Robertson. “These pathogenscause similar symptoms on soybean seedlings,and lab tests are usually required to distinguishwhich pathogen is present. Pythium prefers cool-er, saturated soils and is more of a problem inearly planted beans. Phytophthora may be anissue when the soil is warmer and saturated.”

According to Robertson, soybean varieties withresistance to Phytophthora pathogen are avail-able, but varieties with resistance to Pythiumare not available. “Seed treatments can reducerisk of early season damping off from both dis-eases. Growers should consider a seed treatmentif particular fields have a history of damping off,”Robertson said.

“As the season progresses, there may be fur-ther effects from the winter that will pose prob-lems later in the summer,” Wright stated. “Forinstance, we don’t yet know the impact of all thesnow cover on the overwintering of the bean leafbeetle or aphids. Soybeans planted in compactedfields that have experienced problems with rootdevelopment may be susceptible to problemswith foliar diseases like sudden death syndrome(SDS). While SDS infection occurs shortly aftergermination, symptoms may not be apparentuntil later in the summer. “Additionally, if theyoung seedling roots have difficulty taking upenough potassium, those soybeans could be moreattractive to soybean aphids later in the summer.There may also be issues of delayed maturity.”

Time will tell on some of those issues. For now,Holmes summed up what farmers can do: “Beaware that compacted soil is wet soil. Try not tomake the compaction worse. Wait until the soil isdrier. Plant seed with excellent resistance to dis-eases. Since it will be going into cold, damp soil,treat seed with a fungicide and avoid making anymore trips than absolutely necessary across afield with wet soil.”

ISU economist says corn likely to gain some acreage

Demand for Iowa crops has been helped by outsideinfluences, especially the recovery in energy prices.Ethanol margins have moved above breakeven andsupport for biofuels has been boosted by the substan-tial rise in crude oil prices over the past year, accord-ing to Chad Hart, Iowa State University Extensiongrain marketing economist.

“The energy price recovery has helped ethanol mar-gins remain positive over the past several months.Biofuels continue to see support from higher energyprices,” he stated.

The turnaround has allowed U.S. ethanol produc-tion to continue growing. According to Hart, ethanol

now ranks second only to livestock feed in demand forcorn.

“Projections for the 2009 crop show more than 4 bil-lion bushels of corn heading to ethanol plants,” Hartsaid. “Looking beyond to the 2010 and 2011 cropyears, ethanol demand will continue to build with theRenewable Fuels Standard.”

In 2010, that standard requires production of 12.95billion gallons of renewable fuels, up from 11.1 billiongallons in 2009.

Hart said corn-based ethanol will account for muchof the conventional biofuel portion of the standard,increasing corn demand for ethanol to 4.4 billionbushels in 2010 and 4.6 billion bushels in 2011.

“Based on the standard, by 2015, more than 5 bil-lion bushels of corn could be used for ethanol produc-tion,” he stated.

Corn feed and residual demand is another project-ed increase over last year, Hart said. Feed demand,

however, has declined with the financial woes facingthe livestock industry.

“Poultry, dairy, pork and beef producers have beenreducing numbers,” he said. “From higher feed costs,lowered demand with the recession and the H1N1outbreak, the livestock industry has encounteredwave after wave of troubling news.”

But, Hart added, futures prices for livestock andfeed products at the close of 2009 suggest reason tohope for a rebound in the livestock industry movingthrough the summer.

One sign of coming improvements is the projectionfor increased meat export demand with the drop invalue of the U.S. dollar. For corn, livestock feedremains the largest demand category.

“But it is also the demand category with the weak-est outlook,” Hart said. “If the improved margins failto materialize, feed demand will slip further.”

Corn export demand is expected to rebound as well,also supported by the continued weakness in the U.S.dollar as well as recent approvals of GM corn vari-eties in Mexico and the European Union.

For soybeans, exports are “the big story,” Hart stat-ed. The strength of export demand has led the U.S.Department of Agriculture to increase its soybeanexport estimate several times. By example, he saidChina has already purchased more soybeans fromthe United States than Iowans produced in 2009.

But, he added, Brazil and Argentina have shiftedmore area to soybean production, which will meancompetition for U.S. growers. A potential for a record-setting South American soybean crop has contributedto futures prices favoring corn for 2010, Hart said. Headded, “But crop input costs have come down fromlast year’s highs, improving the economic outlook forboth crops.”

Estimates from ISU Extension show per-bushelcosts of roughly $3.50 for corn and $8.67 for soybeans.Based on projected prices and costs, Hart said cornalso holds a return advantage going into 2010.

“So corn will likely gain acreage from soybeans andother crops in 2010,” he said. “But the land shifts willnot be dramatic. Given the situation today, I expectcorn plantings to be around 90 million acres, withsoybean area falling to 77 million acres. As in previ-ous years, other crops will lose area to corn and soy-beans.”

Students will learnabout the extensive opportunities in the agricul-tural industry, discuss important issues facing theagricultural industry and develop vital leadershipskills during the four-day IAYI conference.

Highlights of this year's IAYI include two agri-cultural topics:

- Should manure be applied to frozen or snowcovered ground?

- Does the use of antibiotics in livestock have asignificant impact on antibiotic effectiveness inhumans?

Students will also have the opportunity to par-ticipate in a team-building course, debate issues atthe State Capitol, participate in a roundtable dis-cussion with Iowa commodity representatives andenjoy a conference banquet and dance.

Registration deadline for ag youthinstitute is April 30, 2010

Members of the Iowa Learning Farm team havecreated a DVD containing pointers for adjusting aplanter for no-till farming systems. The“Converting Your Planter for No-till Operation”DVD contains instructions for getting optimumresults from your planter in a no-till system. It isavailable from the Iowa Learning Farm for free.

Iowa State University Agricultural andBiosystems Engineer Mark Hanna is featured onthe video footage offering his expertise on theplanter in order for it to accomplish three keyresponsibilities in a no-till system: planting seedat a uniform depth, closing the furrow so that theseed is in proper contact with soil to start germi-nation, and maintaining uniform seed spacing.

Hanna offers tips and simple checks for success-ful planting on two different planter configura-tions, depending on the style of implement. He cov-ers tips on leveling the planter frame, down pres-sure on depth gauge wheels, adjustments of seedopeners and closing systems, and use of attach-ments such as row cleaners and fertilizer injectors.

“In a no-till situation, the planter is the key tosuccessful no-till,” states Hanna on the video. “It isthe only time you have to move the soil to get theseed established. So treating the planter withrespect and paying attention to some finer adjust-ments can really have big dividends.”

In a no-till system, the soil is not disturbedbefore planting, except for perhaps injecting fertil-izer. A coulter or disk seed-furrower opens a nar-row strip for planting. Other tillage is eliminatedentirely and residue from the previous crop yearremains on the soil’s surface. No-till has manybenefits including improved soil productivity,increased organic matter, and improved waterinfiltration. This system conserves energy byreducing passes across the field, improves soil tilthand soil organic matter. It can also reduce the cap-ital costs associated with equipment used in con-ventional tillage.

The planter DVD is available at no charge byrequest, and can also be seen on YouTube. Torequest a planter DVD, e-mail the Iowa LearningFarm at [email protected], be sure to include a mail-ing address; or write to Iowa Learning Farm, 2101Agronomy Hall, Iowa State University, Ames, IA50011. For more information about the IowaLearning Farm, visit the web site at: www.exten-sion.iastate.edu/ilf.

Iowa Learning Farm is a partnership betweenthe Iowa Department of Agriculture and LandStewardship, Iowa State University Extension,Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, IowaNatural Resources Conservation Service, and IowaDepartment of Natural Resources; in cooperationwith Conservation Districts of Iowa and the IowaFarm Bureau.

Jewell builds online bait shop

You can buy leeches and worms online? According to Mark Jewell, of Jewell Outdoors,

www.jewelloutdoors.com, the answer is alwaysyes!

While many people who grow up in agricultureare involved in typical farming operations likedairy, beef, or crop production. Mark’s story is alittle different.

“Growing up as the son of a leech farmer was anexperience very few friends could relate to,” saidJewell.

Nicknames like “leech guy” or “leech wrangler”were common. This experience, coupled with a lifechanging FFA career, set Jewell on the path towhere he is today.

In FFA, his Supervised Agricultural Experience(SAE) program was based in Specialty AnimalProduction (Entrepreneurship).

“We raised and trapped thousands of pounds ofleeches. The educational opportunity availablethrough FFA taught me the value of owning andoperating my own business,” Jewell stated. “Notonly did I win awards because of my SAE, Ilearned the value of a good idea, an honest day’swork, and record keeping.”

Jewell decided to take his passion for web andsocial media marketing, and combine it with hismany connections in the live fishing bait industry.The product is Jewell Outdoors, a 21st centuryonline bait shop that delivers live bait direct tothe front doors of people who fish.

“In 2009, we tested the waters of selling live baitonline,” Jewell said, “and the result was growingto a customer base of nearly 500 people, in 25states.”

Jewell Outdoors uses You Tube to showcase howthey catch and process their products, twitter toengage in conversation, facebook to find new fish-ing friends, and a tailored social network for cus-tomers who want more.

This year, Jewell Outdoors is adding a new serv-ice of value to FFA members in many states. Thecompany is offering to help FFA chapters raise

money by participating in its new PartnersProgram. Agriculture teachers can register theirchapters and receive a special promotional code.FFA members can then share this informationwith family members, neighbors and friends. Eachtime that chapter’s code is used, Jewell Outdoorstracks the sale and pays the chapter a 10 percentcommission. An announcement about the programis available on You Tube.

The specialty products of Jewell Outdoors areleeches and Canadian Night Crawlers, althoughthe line is quickly expanding.

“More than 50,000 pounds of leeches will getused in the United States every summer,” Jewellstated. “We’ve captured the online market forthese little suckers by providing a superior livebait product, and ridiculously courteous customerservice.

“We evaluate our leeches and night crawlers likeproducers evaluate cattle. We also offer theunique service of shipping direct to your frontdoor, place of work, or fishing destination. Ourconcern for customers is top priority.”

Jewell Outdoors will soon be offering an extend-ed line of fishing, hunting and camping gear.However, just like the FFA, and agriculture indus-try, they will stay true to their roots, and continueto provide live bait better than anyone else.

Our fifth year!

Randy Dreher, Audubon

Farming is bad for America…according CBS and several othermedia outlets. Five times in the pastfew weeks, programs have aired thatquestion the safety of our food andthe integrity of the farmers that pro-duce it. As a fifth generation farmermyself, I am concerned that Americais not being given accurate informa-tion about farming and food safetytoday.

Being a fifth generation familyfarmer and living on a century farmis no task to take lightly. My great-grandparents and grandparentslived through the Great Depressionand my parents survived the farmrecession of the ‘80’s. My ancestorspicked corn by hand, wore out scoopshovels, used horses to work theground, milked cows by hand, andbaled hay the hard way. While westill work hard on the farm, we’vefound better ways to raise crops andcare for our livestock. That’s goodnews for anyone who cares aboutfood safety.

We raise both crops and livestockon our diversified family farm andthis winter has certainly been a chal-lenge. Record snowfalls in December,coupled with bitter cold tempera-tures and power outages from ourmost recent ice storms have madecaring for our livestock tough. Forproducers, animal husbandry andcare is a priority. We work sevendays-a-week to keep our livestockfed, watered, and healthy.

I also rely on the knowledge that’sbeen passed down to me from previ-ous generations and the recommen-dations of my veterinarian and otheranimal experts to assure the wellbeing of my animals. When it is nec-essary to use antibiotics, we workclosely with our veterinarian tochoose the appropriate treatment(s)so our livestock does not suffer and toprevent consumers from eating meatfrom unhealthy animals.

Today’s farmers also understand“buzz words” that corporate Americais tossing around today like “BestManagement Practices” (BMP).Because of this, farmers voluntarilyenroll in programs that improvewater quality, conserve our land, andprovide habitat for wildlife. Anotherway we implement BMP is throughvoluntary and non-profit programssuch as the Beef Quality Assurance(BQA) and Pork Quality Assurance(PQA) programs. Farmers aretrained on BMP to keep livestockhealthy, treat them when they aresick, and make sure we’re producingsafe and nutritious dietary protein.

My wife and I are expecting ourfirst child in April, who will be thesixth generation of our family to beraised on a farm. As a farmer, I hopeto pass on this land, and the legacythat carries with it, to my childrenand grandchildren. Rain or shine, Iwork with integrity and dedicationever day to care for and manage thecrops and livestock on my farm. I doit for my family and for yours.

LARGEST SELECTION OF HIGH QUALITYUSED TRUCK TIRES $7500 & UP!

by Rebecca Chaney, National 4-H Council

The saying goes, “The apple doesn't fall far fromthe tree,” and in Linda Hedges’ case, nothing couldbe truer.

A 20-year 4-H volunteer from Jefferson, Hedgesis proud that she comes from a family with a his-tory rich in 4-H.

Hedges grew up in the 4-H program in GreeneCounty, where her mother found time to be a 4-Hvolunteer, while raising eight kids. She even hasan award pin her late father received for showingbeef in the 1930s.

Still a resident of Greene County, Hedges con-tinues her family's 4-H tradition; she and her hus-band, Randy, are leaders of the Greenbrier 4-HClub - 32 kids strong.

“I was a nine-year member of 4-H and I likewhat I learned from it,” said Hedges. “I wanted tohelp my children, as well as others, learn moreabout communication, leadership and citizenship,while working in project areas like foods, clothingand animal science.”

The 4-H enthusiast said the organization devel-ops responsibility, teamwork and communicationskills in young people.

“4-H is a unique organization where time istaken to let young and old youth of differing abil-ities and interests learn to work together for thebetterment of society,” said Hedges. “Under goodleadership, these youth see the value of caring forothers, working together, making good decisions,while they are learning about subject matter ofinterest to them - leading to a career choice in thefuture.”

Hedges stated that being a volunteer is invest-ing in the country by helping youth becomeresponsible adults, with the skills to make a livingand be active participants in their communities.She said she believes “4-H can change a child'sworld.”

“Every child should have theopportunity to experience thewarm feeling of a caring adultthat they know supports him orher and will help guide them inlearning,” Hedges said. “Thereare so many options in 4-H tooffer kids, but we need goodmentors to guide them. It is funto watch youth grow and learn,and accomplish things theynever thought they could.”

Iowa State University (ISU)Extension 4-H YouthDevelopment ProgramSpecialist Annette Brown saidshe believes that it takes com-mitted volunteers like Hedgesto have a successful 4-H pro-gram.

“Linda is dedicated, reliable,patient, and caring,” saidBrown. “She values positiveyouth development which canbe seen in the 4-H'ers she hasmentored as a club leader aswell as her own children.”

During the 20 years Brownhas worked with Hedges, she's seen firsthand howHedges had juggled many clubs and 4-H activities.“Linda most definitely makes a difference in thelives of the youth she touches through 4-H,”Brown said. “Youth are learning leadership, com-munication, citizenship, personal life manage-ment skills and gaining knowledge to use today aswell as into the future.”

Hedges was honored to be a workshop presenterat this year's State 4-H Volunteer Retreat onSaturday, February 27, at Des Moines AreaCommunity College Campus.

“The biggest reason I like to attend is theencouragement I receive each year,” said Hedges.

“There are motivational speakers and others whotell 4-H success stories, or how 4-H has benefitedtheir community, companies or work places. It isinspiring to hear how the hard work put in by 4-Hleaders is recognized across the country. I alwayscome home pumped with ideas and a renewedenergy to start on the next year.”

In addition to being a dedicated 4-H volunteerand the mother of four adult children, Hedges hasbeen a substitute teacher for 30 years. She andher husband were inducted into the Iowa 4-H Hallof Fame and join 10,000 other Iowan 4-H volun-teers in their commitment to youth across thestate.

Iowa 4-H volunteer continues family tradition

Greene County 4-H volunteer Linda Hedges, far left, shows 4-H mem-bers Jamie Theulen and Cole Schmidt how to make pillow cases usingthe “hotdog method” on a sewing machine. The boys were proud of theiraccomplishment and will enter their pillow cases at the Greene CountyFair. Photo submitted

Each year nearly 10,000 volunteers contributetheir time, energy and expertise to help Iowayouth build life skills through 4-H learning expe-riences. And Barb Determan knows why they vol-unteer. It’s about giving.

“I wanted to give back to 4-H. Our family hasgotten a lot of good out of it. I want to share thatwith other kids,” Determan said.

That’s why the Sac County woman serves as atrustee on the Iowa 4-H Foundation board, judges4-H communication projects at the Iowa StateFair and is midway through her 29th year as anIowa 4-H club leader.

“I really enjoy working with the kids,” she said,but that’s only part of the appeal. Far beyond theenjoyment, 4-H has given Determan a lifetime ofvalue, the long-time volunteer said.

“I have had great opportunities,” she said.Growing up in Illinois, Determan participated

in 4-H for nine years, even attending the National4-H Congress.

As a student at the University of Illinois, shelived in the 4-H House, a sorority for former 4-Hmembers.

When she married an Iowa farmer and moved toSac County, she called the ISU Extension officeright away to get involved as a 4-H leader. Herhusband, Steve Determan, became a 4-H leader aswell.

Their three children — Kourtney, Dan and Andy— now adults, all participated in 4-H as youth andwere state project winners.

“More important, they learned so many skills in4-H — especially communication, leadership andcommunity service,” Determan said. “4-H taughtthem how to give.”

4-H clubs expose kids to things they might nottry otherwise, allowing them to develop intereststhey didn’t know they had and learn skills theycan use for a lifetime, Determan continued.

“4-H is the premier youth development organi-zation. We work with kids from a very young age,making it comfortable for them to become leaders,communicators and [better] citizens,” she stated.

Determan’s club, the Early Achievers, is a multi-age club. She’s been a 4-H leader long enough thatshe’s now working with the children of some of herearlier 4-H club graduates.

“That’s a huge honorfor me - to have the sec-ond generation of 4-H’ers,” Determan said.

Iowa 4-H YouthDevelopment programsare delivered primarilythrough caring adults,and these volunteersmake a positive differ-ence in the lives ofIowa’s young people.However, the adults

also gain from the experience, according to a studyof 4-H volunteers from Iowa and otherMidwestern states. They reported that throughvolunteering with 4-H, they had improved theirorganizational and management skills, their abil-ity to speak in public and their ability to lead andteach others.

The “Keeping it Green” gala brought in the greenfinancially for Iowa 4-H in February.

The first-of-its-kind event raised more than$20,000 for the Iowa State University Extension 4-H Youth Development program.

More than 150 4-H supporters gathered onSaturday, February 20, at the Science Center ofIowa in Des Moines to raise funds for 4-H andhonor the Iowa 4-H Foundation’s 60th anniver-sary.

“It’s exciting to have a first-ever gala for Iowa 4-H and to have this opportunity to tell our 4-Hstory,” said Shelly Greving, marketing coordinatorfor the Iowa 4-H Foundation. “We appreciate thesupport we received from the attendees thatevening and their continued support throughoutthe year.”

Monsanto, dhg Productions, HeartlandMarketing, Latham Hybrid Seeds, Mass Mutual,Pioneer, Farmer’s Cooperative and Iowa 4-HFoundation Executive Director Joe Leisz weretable sponsors for the inaugural event, providingkey support to ensure the event’s success. Thebusiness-formal event attracted current andpotential business supporters, top 4-H donors andpast trustees.

Throughout the afternoon, the Iowa 4-H E-SETprogram (Extension Science, Engineering andTechnology) conducted a robotics challenge featur-ing five 4-H clubs from across the state.

“The energy was high, youth were engaged andthe challenges were solved,” said Greving. “ScienceCenter patrons enjoyed watching the youth buildtheir robots and compete in the challenges. Whenawards were presented, a high-five line congratu-lated each of the participants — not your tradi-tional handshake!”

The gala officially began at 6:30 p.m. Threesilent auction tables included wine tasting pack-ages, theatre tickets, Iowa stay-cations and more.The live auction portion of the evening included awide selection of items. Decadent desserts, trips toColorado, hand-made jewelry and private helicop-ter rides over the Des Moines area were some ofthe attendees’ favorites.

The night concluded with a special performanceby the 4-H Green Man Group, the 4-H rendition ofthe popular Blue Man Group.

“Iowa’s outstanding 4-H youth are learningskills that will position them to become the nextgeneration of leaders in our state,” Greving said.“They have interests in science, communication,photography, nutrition, education and much, muchmore. This event supported these areas, and thefuture of 4-H youth.”

The Iowa 4-H Foundation provides the financialresources to develop and deliver quality 4-H youthprograms throughout the state of Iowa. The oppor-tunities provided by the Foundation help youngpeople enhance their ability to use critical think-ing, leadership, communication and social skills –tools that will give them a competitive edge intheir future endeavors.

Gala nets more than$20,000 for Iowa 4-H
