Celebrating Ag DayProducers show how Iowa agriculturecontributes to our state

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northeysaid that National Ag Day is an opportunityto celebrate the many contributions agricul-ture makes to the state.

National Ag Day is designed to recognizeand celebrate the abundance provided byagriculture.

National Ag Day was Thursday, March 8.“On a day designed to recognize the abun-

dance provided by agriculture, Iowa has a lotto celebrate,” Northey said.

“Iowa is the national leader in the produc-tion of corn, soybeans, pork, eggs andethanol while also being among leaders inthe number of farmers markets. A wide va-riety of agribusinesses, biotechnology, re-newable energy and other ag related busi-nesses also have their home here. All of this

is due to the quality of our land and the pro-ductivity of our farmers.”

Total cash sales from Iowa farms havenearly doubled from $12.2 billion in 2002 to$23.2 billion in 2010.

Preliminary estimates show agriculturesales from Iowa farms could be close to $30billion in 2011.

In 2011 Iowa farmers again lead the nationin production of:

Corn (2.36 billion bushels, 172 bushelsper acre, 19% of U.S. total)Soybeans (466 million bushels, 50.5bushels per acres, 15% of U.S. total)Hogs (19.8 million on hand, 30% of U.S.total)Eggs (52.1 million layers, 14.5 billioneggs)Iowa is second nationally in red meat pro-duction, cash receipts, net farm incomeand overall agriculture export value of $7billion. Iowa farmers are also in the top 10 na-tionally in turkey, dairy, beef, goat and

lamb production“Iowa was founded because of agriculture

and it continues to be our state’s leading in-dustry,” Northey said. “National Ag Day isan opportunity to highlight all that agricul-ture means to Iowa, but also all that Iowaagriculture means to the world.”

The agriculture products raised in Iowa arein strong demand around the world. Iowa issecond nationally in overall agriculture exportvalue with $7 billion in exports annually.

In addition to exporting the agriculturalgoods raised in the state, the agriculturetechnologies developed and built in Iowa arealso in demand around the world. This in-cludes livestock production systems, cropproduction equipment, seed technology andothers.

“Iowa is a national and internationalleader in agriculture and well positioned tocontinue to grow,” Northey added.

Agriculture Secretary Vilsack to leadtrade mission to China in March

Agriculture SecretaryTom Vilsack announcedthat the U.S. Departmentof Agriculture (USDA) willlead an agricultural trademission to China at theend of March to strength-en partnerships betweenU.S. and Chinese busi-nesses and enhance jobgrowth in the UnitedStates.

The trade mission is ex-pected to be USDA’s largestto date, with more than 40U.S. agribusinesses andrepresentatives from sixState Departments of Agri-culture set to accompanyActing Under SecretaryMichael Scuse to Chengduand Shanghai, two ofChina’s largest cities.

In 2011, China movedinto the top spot as thenumber one market forU.S. agricultural goods,purchasing $20 billion inU.S. agricultural exports.U.S. farm exports to Chinasupported more than

160,000 American jobs in2011.

“This trade mission,USDA’s largest to date, of-fers American businessesthe opportunity to positionthemselves to enter or ex-pand their presence inChina, one of ourstrongest trading part-ners,” said Vilsack.

“China and the UnitedStates share a special rela-tionship, and we embracethis opportunity to contin-ue our in-depth dialogueon issues of mutual con-cern. At the same time, wewant to ensure that ourAmerican farmers, ranch-ers and producers contin-ue to be recognized acrossChina and the Asia Pacificas reliable suppliers of thehighest-quality food andagricultural products.”

Last month, Vilsackhosted China’s Vice Presi-dent Xi Jinping and Agri-culture Minister HanChangfu at the first U.S.-

China Agricultural Sympo-sium in Des Moines.

The agriculture minis-ters signed a Plan ofStrategic Cooperation thatwill guide the two coun-tries’ agricultural relation-ship for the next fiveyears.

The plan focuses on

agricultural science, tradeand education, and looksto deepen cooperationthrough technical ex-changes and strengthencoordination in key prior-ity areas, including foodsecurity and emergingtechnologies.

Scuse will lead the trade

mission to China fromMarch 23 to 28, beginningin Chengdu, one of themost important economic,transportation, and com-munication centers inwestern China and homeof USDA’s newest Agricul-tural Trade Office.

Participants will thentravel on to Shanghai, ahub of global commerceand the most populouscity in the world.

The goal of the missionis to provide U.S. partici-pants with first-hand mar-ket information, access togovernment decision mak-ers, and one-on-one meet-ings with business con-tacts, potential agents,distributors, and importersso they can position them-selves to enter or expandtheir presence in China.

While in China, Scusewill meet with Chinesegovernment and agricul-tural officials and U.S.agribusiness, and will visit

agricultural productionand development sites.

Ambassador Islam Sid-diqui, Chief AgriculturalNegotiator for the Office ofthe U.S. Trade Representa-tive, will also join Scuse toopen the USA Pavilion atthe Food IngredientsChina Trade Show inShanghai on March 28.

The USDA said U.S.agriculture is currently ex-periencing one of its bestperiods in history thanksto the productivity, re-siliency, and resourceful-ness of producers andagribusinesses.

Today, net farm incomeis at record levels whiledebt has been cut in halfsince the 1980s.

Overall, American agri-culture supports 1 in 12jobs in the United Statesand provides Americanconsumers with 83 per-cent of the food consumed,while maintaining afford-ability and choice.

Homework and heifersI grew up in 4-H, both in

age and maturity. I spent almost half of my

life before I graduated highschool in 4-H.

A certain self-reliance,independence, and maturi-ty comes with heading offto camp for three dayswithout your parents whenyou’re still in elementaryschool.

I gained even more ma-turity when I was allowedto go on bus trips to NewYork City; Washington, D.C;and Chicago (again withoutparents) sometimes for 10days when I wasn’t oldenough to even have a dri-ver’s license.

I learned to budget themoney I had. I learned topack so I could have mydirty clothes in one areaand clean in another as Itraveled. Most importantly,I learned not to lose thingsalong the way because theopportunity did not exist toreplace them.

I also learned how tospeak in formal situationsas I interviewed for trips,awards, and other events. Ilearned to give speechesand presentations through

4-H. I learned to work hard to

reach my goals during my4-H years.

My husband learnedmany of the same thingsthrough his time in FFA.So, it’s not surprising thatwhen we married, weagreed that our childrenwould be in both 4-H andFFA – before we even hadthem.

We were both heavily involved in the music pro-grams in high school and incollege. I was in chorus,swing choir, band and jazzband in my small school inNorthwest Iowa. He was inband, and later was in themarching band at IowaState. We also agreed thatarts education is importantfor our children, and ouroldest has been in bothchoir and band since hebegan middle school.

Next year, he’ll be in highschool and will begin to beable to choose his paththrough the classes hetakes. In looking at the coreclasses (English, math, sci-ence, and social studies)that are necessary to grad-uate high school and be

successful in college, weinitially found that timewas limited for him to beable to take band, chorus,and an ag class to qualifyfor FFA.

But we were told about acouple other kids who wereable to do it, so we spoke tothe guidance counselorwho said that it could bedone. However, classesmight have to be taken outof order and summer class-es might be needed.

I’m fine with him takingsome summer classes (so ishe by the way) if he is ableto take band, chorus andhis ag classes during theregular school year.

Did I mention that his ca-reer goal is to be an agteacher? The ag classesmight be a bit important.

When my husband and Iwere in school, the farmkids didn’t really have timein the summer for activitiesor extra classes. They werebusy helping out with thelivestock, and in the fields.Making square bales re-quired a crew of kids for acouple days.

With the advances infarm technology and ma-

chinery, the jobs that re-quired the entire familymore than two decades agocan now be done by oneperson. My husband caneasily cut and bale hay byhimself in the summer.

Spraying and plantingcan also be done by oneperson as well. It might benice to have someone bringthe anhydrous tanks in thefield, but our son is still tooyoung to do that job. (No

solo driving for him yet!)Working with his 4-H

cattle this summer might bethe most complicated taskthat my son has to do thisyear, probably next sum-mer as well.

So, he might as well havesomething to fill up hisdays, lest he sit aroundlounging on the couch play-ing video games.

He was happy that someof those core classes couldalso be taken during thesummer, freeing up moretime during the school yearfor fun classes.

A few years ago, whiledriving back into town topick him up from an activi-ty, I called one of my sistersand asked at what pointshould I use the fact that welive on a farm as an excusethat he can’t do an activity.She replied never, whichwas pretty much what Ithought.

Farming and farm kidshave changed from whenwe were kids. Farm kidsnow have more opportuni-ties for learning and activi-ties. Happily, my son willbe able to grasp those brassrings.

It pays to be an early riser. Case IH Early Riser planters produce a superior seed environment that leads to better plant stands. The Case IH Early Riser row unit reduces seedling stress from sidewall compaction and poor seed placement. These row units, combined with the superior Case IH Advanced Seed Meter, give your crop the best combination of in-row seed spacing and early, even emergence.

uidity concerns of Amaiz-ing Energy’s membershipwhile retaining the eco-nomic benefits the Deni-son facility has in the localarea. Our investors com-mitted equity to AmaizingEnergy to earn a good re-turn on their investmentand to further local eco-nomic development andwe feel great about havingmet both of those goals.Placing Amaizing Energyon the market while it is aprofitable operation hasallowed us to reach a fairdeal with a great companywho we believe will prop-erly operate our plant inthe future.”

Mike Anderson, CEO ofThe Andersons, Inc.,added, “This is a well-re-spected, well-run organi-zation that brings with it a

solid customer base in ageographic area that weare looking forward toserving. We will extendour same value system ofproviding extraordinarycustomer service and en-joying lasting relation-ships in this new region.”

Improvements at Tyson’s Dakota City facilitymay lead to closure of Denison plant in 2013

Tyson Foods, Inc. an-nounced March 1 that it ismaking major improve-ments to its Dakota City,Nebraska, beef plant as partof an ongoing plan to max-imize operational efficien-cies.

The release said thechanges are expected tobolster the future of theDakota City operation butmay lead to the closure ofthe company’s beef slaugh-ter plant, located at 2490Lincoln Way, Denison.

The company said thatbecause of the improve-ment project, the DakotaCity plant will add approxi-mately 200 production jobs

and will be able to increasethe number of cattle it har-vests for processing. How-ever, this change is not ex-pected to increase Tyson’soverall beef slaughter ca-pacity. The Dakota Cityplant will no longer need asupplemental supply of beefcarcasses from the compa-ny’s satellite beef plant inDenison. This means theDenison facility may closesometime in 2013.

If Tyson proceeds withsuch a closing in 2013, thecompany will give a 60-daynotice, as required by law,and will also work with af-fected team members to ex-plore job opportunities at

other Tyson locations.The Denison plant, which

employs 400 individuals,was the original Iowa BeefPackers plant. It opened onMarch 21, 1961, and iscredited with helping to rev-olutionize beef processingby moving carcasses onconveyors and creatingboxed beef. Iowa BeefPackers, later named sim-ply IBP, was acquired byTyson Foods in September2001.

The annual payroll of theplant in Denison is $12.4million, according to astatement provided byTyson for the Denison Bul-letin and Review’s 2011

progress edition publishedin September. The state-ment also said that Tysonspent more than $620 mil-lion in fiscal year 2010 tobuy cattle to supply theDenison plant.

The company stated amajority of the cattle cur-rently handled by the Deni-son plant are purchasedfrom independent cattleoperations that are actual-ly located closer to DakotaCity.

“It’s difficult to considerthe possibility of closing ourDenison plant, given theimpact on our people, theplant’s long history in themeat industry and the

tremendous support we’vereceived from the commu-nity over the years,” saidNoel White, senior groupvice president of TysonFresh Meats. “However,unless area cattle suppliesincrease significantly or wefind an alternative use forthe facility, it may makeeconomic sense to discon-tinue operations there nextyear.”

The Denison plant pro-duces top quality beef car-casses that are selected fortransfer to Dakota City,where they are convertedinto boxed beef and relatedproducts.

The multi-million dollar

project at Dakota City willupgrade or replace parts ofthe plant that were original-ly built almost 50 years ago.

The Dakota City project,which is already under way,is scheduled to be complet-ed in mid-2013. It includesconstruction of a new beefslaughter floor that will in-corporate the latest sanita-tion and production sys-tems.

The company is alsomaking improvements tothe Dakota City plant’s beefcarcass cooler, renderingand box handling opera-tions, as well as employeelockers and cafeteria.

ship plant and this invest-ment means we expect it tocontinue to be one of ourtop performers and an im-portant market outlet forthe region’s cattle produc-ers,” said White. “The im-provements will help opti-mize the value of the plant’sproduct mix for domesticand international cus-tomers and make the planteven more cost competi-tive.”

Dakota City is Tyson’slargest beef processingcomplex. The facility em-ploys approximately 4,000people, generating an an-nual payroll of more than$140 million.

The company spent morethan $1.7 billion in fiscal2011 to buy cattle to sup-ply the plant. The facilityproduces fresh vacuum-packed, boxed beef for saleto wholesalers, retailers,hotels, restaurants and in-stitutions.

Bone, fat, trimmings andhides are recovered andused in the making of vari-

ous foods, pharmaceuticals,cosmetics and clothing.Tyson beef and allied prod-ucts are marketed domesti-cally and internationally.

Gary Mickelson, aspokesperson for TysonFoods, said the first phaseof the improvement projectat the Dakota City plantbegan in mid-2011.

Mickelson wrote in anemail to the Denison Re-view that Tyson has not re-cently initiated any majorcapital projects at the Deni-son plant but that over theyears the company hasreinvested money in the fa-cility to help ensure it is op-erating effectively.

Asked about adding 200employees at the DakotaCity plant and potentiallylosing 400 team membersat the Denison plant, Mick-elson responded, “First ofall, we’ve not made a defin-itive decision on the futureof the Denison plant. Sec-ondly, the difference instaffing numbers is a re-flection of the efficiencies

we believe will be generat-ed by through the newtechnology and processesincorporated in the newproduction area at DakotaCity. It also reflects the over-all size and scale of theDakota City complex.”

Asked what Tyson woulddo with the Denison plantshould it close, Mickelsoncommented that it is pre-mature to say since thecompany has not made adecision to close it.

Regarding factors thatwould keep the Denisonplant open, Mickelson re-ferred to Noel White’s state-ment about cattle suppliesincreasing significantly oralternate use for the facility.

“I would add that the cat-tle supply and operatingmargins will determine thefuture of the Denisonplant,” Mickelson stated.

He commented the proj-ect at the Dakota City plantis driven by Tyson’s desireto continually improve theoperational efficiency of itsbusiness.

Tyson’s 4-H connectionTyson Foods’ March 1 announcement that the Denison plant may close in 2013

causes immediate concern about the potential loss of 400 jobs and the economic im-pact on the region.

Another concern is the loss of the community partnership Tyson has with programssuch as 4-H.

Terry Torneten, regional extension education director for Region 12, explained theTyson facility in Denison processes 4-H livestock projects from a number of countiesand provides carcass data for the 4-H beef projects.

“Tyson has always been supportive of 4-H,” Torneten stated.He continued that the 2012 futurity projects will proceed as they have in the past

- the same as in the past 20-plus years. For 2013, the Tri-County Steer Carcass Fu-turity Board will evaluate the situation.

“At this time there really aren’t any changes or concerns that would be coming untilwe know more,” Torneten said.

He added the 4-H Beef Committee at the state level provides input and helps theTri-County Steer Carcass Futurity that works with other packers, not just Tyson, to bringin 4-H exhibits for the purpose of learning.

“It’s all about the beef industry and working together to make these educationalexperiences that kids have as 4-Hers as valuable as they can be,” Torneten stated.

“Tyson has always been very supportive, and to be able to work with Tyson hasbeen helpful for the 4-H beef project members.”

“Good things are happening in the beef industry. We are watching what Tyson maydecide to do relative to that,” Torneten commented.

“From our standpoint we will help in any way through extension and outreach andare always willing to have those conversations.”

Tyson officials tell GoldmanSachs it is preparing for growth

Donnie Smith, presidentand chief executive officerof Tyson Foods, Inc. onMarch 7 told the GoldmanSachs 16th Annual Agri-cultural Biotech Forumthat Tyson is in an envi-able position in the indus-try due to its strong bal-ance sheet.

“It gives us options,”

Smith said, “and that in-cludes building out ourforeign operations. We’reestablishing company-owned chicken farms inChina to supply our threeplants, and we’re alsodouble-shifting our plantsin Brazil. Domestically,we’ll use our capital togrow our prepared foods

business, and that couldmean building or buying,depending on our needsand the opportunitiesavailable. We’ll continuereinvesting in our busi-ness, which has put us ina great competitive posi-tion. We also will maintainour focus on product inno-vation and adding value to

chicken as we help ourcustomers grow theirbusinesses.”

Noel White, seniorgroup vice president ofTyson’s fresh meats divi-sion, said he expects thecompany’s pork marginsto remain strong while itsbeef margins should im-prove throughout the year

following a period of mar-gin compression.

“We originally expectedto see a one to two percentdecrease in available cat-tle in 2012, but becausefewer head were processedduring this recent periodof margin compression,we anticipate the avail-ability of fed steers and

heifers to be adequate oreven greater for the bal-ance of our fiscal year.”

White added thatTyson’s beef processingplants are located in theregions with the highestconcentrations of fed cat-tle, which contributes tothe company’s competitivecost structure.

Development official wants to open dialogue with Tyson

Don Luensmann, exec-utive director of the Cham-ber and DevelopmentCouncil of Crawford Coun-ty, said he had contactedTyson officials on March 1about opening a dialogueto discuss the Denisonplant.

“If, in fact, beef kill isn’tgoing to continue here,what other business inwhich Tyson is involvedwould make sense inDenison?” he asked. “Ifthe plant would need somerefurbishing and the em-ployees would need sometraining, state, and poten-tially local, incentivescould be available to helpthem.”

He pointed out thatTyson already owns thebuilding and has 400

trained employees. He has also contacted

legislators, the governor’soffice and the Iowa De-partment of Economic De-velopment about Tyson’sannouncement.

“We have all the mark-ers in place, and we’ll seewhere it goes from here,”Luensmann commented.“Hopefully, we can workwith Tyson to find anoth-er product line or anotherproduct they can produceat this plant. Right nowTyson hasn’t said it isgoing to close the Denisonplant.”

Luensmann said the im-pact of losing a $12 mil-lion payroll would leave apretty big hole in the area.Another perspective hegave was that the 400

Tyson jobs represents fivepercent of the 9,000 jobsin Crawford County. Theloss of those jobs wouldput the county’s unem-ployment rate at 10 per-cent.

Another factor is that

the availability of 400 em-ployees could be an attrac-tant for another industryto locate in CrawfordCounty.

“If Tyson decides toclose the kill facility inDenison and doesn’t have

another use for the plant,we would certainly talk toa number of other meatprocessors for their poten-tial ownership of the facil-ity,” he commented.

Luensmann looked atthe history of the Denison

plant and stated, “We haveto be thankful we had 50years of IBP and Tyson inDenison. It is one of ouranchors and one of thefirst industrial founda-tions of what we wouldconsider the modern Deni-son. We need to thankthose who made the initialinvestment. They weregreat entrepreneurs. Deni-son was at the focus ofeverything they did andwe need to be thankful forthat.

“But, if in fact, Tysondecides to close the plant,we’ll have to turn the pageand hopefully we will havea similar group of in-vestors and entrepreneurswho will work for the bet-terment of Denison,” Lu-ensmann stated.

Chinese delegation agrees to purchase soybeansChinese leaders made

commitments to purchase$4.31 billion worth of U.S.soybeans during signingceremonies that took placeFebruary 15 at the WorldFood Prize Center in DesMoines.

The commitments signedin Des Moines total morethan 8.62 million metrictons or 317 million bushels,with more soybean commit-

ments expected to be signedin Los Angeles in the nextfew days.

“Iowa’s soybeans farmersare pleased to welcome ourfriends from China back toIowa,” said Iowa SoybeanAssociation (ISA) CEO KirkLeeds.

“We want to say ‘thankyou for the business’ and tocontinue to build uponthese strong relationships.

We have led many delega-tions of farmer leaders toChina and host multiplegroups from China everyyear. Today’s signing cere-mony is another indicationof the value and importanceof these relationships. Withthe additional signings laterthis week in Los Angeles,we are hopeful the totalnumbers will set a newrecord for U.S. soybeancommitments made in onesigning trip.”

The Chinese delegation,led by Bian Zhenhu, presi-dent of the China Chamberof Commerce for Import &Export of Foodstuffs, NativeProduce and Animal By-products (CFNA), indicatedits intentions to purchaseU.S. soybeans by signing15 contracts with U.S. com-panies, including ADM,AGP, Bunge, Cargill andCHS, among others.

Iowa Secretary of Agri-culture Bill Northey partici-pated as witness to thesigning ceremony.

“China has been a greattrade partner and a key cus-tomer of Iowa soybeans,and this agreement showsa commitment on both sidesto continuing that relation-ship,” said Northey.

“Iowa farmers are

tremendously productiveand exports are vital to theeconomic health of our statewith more than $7 billion inagricultural exports. Chinais a rapidly increasing por-tion of that total, and it isimportant we continue tobuild on that strong part-nership.”

“Iowa’s soybeans farmersare pleased to welcome ourfriends from China back toIowa,” said ISA CEO KirkLeeds.

Withthe additional signings laterthis week in Los Angeles,we are hopeful the totalnumbers will set a newrecord for U.S. soybeancommitments made in onesigning trip.”

Other leaders participat-ing in the ceremony alsomade remarks about thesignificance of the ceremo-ny and the mutually benefi-cial relationship between

U.S. soybean farmers andChina.

“China consumes around25 percent of the U.S. pro-duction of soybeans,” saidRoy Bardole, USSEC chair-man and a soybean farmerfrom Rippey, Iowa.

“As the soy family con-tinues to work to positionU.S. soybeans as the bestvalue in the world, my fel-low farmers look forward toproviding China and otherglobal markets with a qual-ity product. We look for-ward to many more years ofworking together.”

Xiaoping Zhang, who ac-companied the visiting del-egation as the China coun-try director for AmericanSoybean Association - In-ternational Marketing(ASA-IM), said, “Chinesegovernment and soybeanbuyers attach great impor-tance to trade relations withthe U.S. for a reliable supplyof soybeans to feed theworld’s largest population,whose living standard con-tinues to improve.

The 30-member delega-tion represents 45 percentof total U.S. soybean ex-ports in FY10/11, and theyhave actively participated inthe U.S. soybean industry’spromotional activities both

in China and in the U.S. tosustain and increase the de-mand for soy products. Inaddition to this signing cer-emony, they have lookedforward to meeting with theU.S. soy industry to developa closer relationship withand better understanding ofthe efficiency of the U.S. in-dustry.”

The U.S. produces ap-proximately 35 percent ofthe world’s soybeans. Since1991, global soybean de-mand has increased 151percent.

Soy is the No. 1 U.S. agexport with roughly 55 per-cent of the U.S. soybeancrop exported.

In 2011, 40.859 millionmetric tons of U.S. soybeanswas exported. Of that,24.368 million metric tons,or approximately 60 percentof U.S. soybean exports,went to China in 2011.

The signing ceremonywas part of a three-day visitby a large and influentialChinese delegation of tradeand commerce dignitaries.

The visit was initiated atthe request of Chinese VicePresident Xi Jingping, whovisited Iowa in 1985 andwished to return to the statewhere he had experiencedMidwest hospitality.

Vice President Xi Jinping of the People's Republic of Chinaposes for a photo with Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov.Kim Reynolds at the home of Sarah and Roger Lande in Mus-catine on February 15. The China connection began in 1985when Lande helped coordinate a visit to Muscatine for a del-egation headed by Xi, then an up-and-coming official in ahog-farming region of Hebei province, which was Iowa's"sister state." Apparently, the hospitality he received madesuch an impression that he wanted to return to Iowa duringhis US visit that also includes stops in Washington, D.C. andCalifornia.

Iowa Beef Producers explore trade with Central AmericaIowa beef producers Dan

Cook, New Providence, andKent Pruismann, Rock Val-ley, participated in an IowaMeat Trade Mission toGuatemala and Panama inearly February.

Cook, past chairman ofthe Iowa Beef IndustryCouncil, explained that themission was exploratory innature to determine if thereis a market for U.S. qualitybeef in Central America.

“Price is the biggest issue

in Guatemala, as 70 percentof their population lives inpoverty. Importers have dis-covered that high qualitygrain-fed beef is more ten-der and flavorful than theirdomestic beef, and as theireconomy improves, therewill be potential to increasetheir imports of U.S. beef,”said Cook.

The most desired cuts inGuatemala include rounds,skirt steaks, and top sirloincaps, the Iowa trade team

learned as they met withmeat processors, govern-ment agencies, and im-porters in Guatemala Cityand Panama City. The grouptoured foodservice opera-tions and supermarkets.

“Panama is a countrywith a population similar toIowa, but I am impressedwith the economic activitygoing on in the country withthe expansion of the canaland the increase intourism,” added Pruismann,

who is a Cattlemen’s BeefBoard director. “The FreeTrade Zone draws businessexecutives and travelersfrom around the world.Restaurants and high-endretail stores are selling U.S.beef to people who wantquality food.

“U.S. brands are well re-ceived in both countries,and their citizens includebeef in their diets. As theupper middle class growsthey want to improve their

food choices,” Pruismannsaid.

“I was also impressedwith the market develop-ment activities of the U.S.Meat Export Federation,” hesaid. “They not only devel-op joint U.S. meat promo-tions but are committed toeducation and training pro-grams in meat cutting, prod-uct safety, handling andpreparation to help the com-panies be successful in sell-ing U.S. beef and pork long

term. I’m pleased to see mycheckoff at work in thisway.”

The Meat Trade Missionwas coordinated by the IowaEconomic Development Au-thority and the U.S. MeatExport Federation. Other at-tendees included membersof the Iowa Pork ProducersAssociation and a privateIowa meat business. Partialfunding for the mission wasprovided by the beef check-off.

The USDA Farm ServiceAgency is working harderthan ever to assist newfarmers and ranchers tosucceed. FSA ExecutiveDirector John R. Whitakerrecently unveiled a newLand Contract GuaranteeProgram and several othertools designed to help be-ginning farmers andranchers build the founda-tion for a successful careerin agriculture.

“New farmers face manychallenges, like obtainingland for example,” saidWhitaker. “FSA is going toprovide new options to

help them to work throughthis challenging start-upissue.” Peak land values,tight commercial credit,minimal credit history andless collateral make it dif-ficult for new and smallerfarmers in Iowa to get acommercial business loanright now.

The Land Contract Guar-antee Program provides anew approach forlandowners willing to selland finance a land pur-chase to a beginning orsocially disadvantagedfarmer. The national pro-gram offers two options,

one that guarantees up tothree annual installmentpayments on the contractand one that guarantees90 percent of the unpaidprincipal of the contract.Guarantees can be used inthe purchase of land for upto $500,000.

“Iowa farmers representall walks of life, a wide va-riety of ethnic back-grounds, and all differentages,” noted Whitaker.“This new program willwork well for beginningand minority growers inour state and we encour-age producers to visit with

us to see if they qualifyand how it could fit theirneeds,” he said. You canfind FSA loan information,disaster assistance pro-grams and other helpfulprograms at fsa.usda.gov.

Another new change tothe agency’s lending rulesfor new producers is toallow more flexibility inthe minimum experiencerequirement. Under thenew rule, FSA loan offi-cers are now allowed toconsider all prior farmingexperience, including on-the-job training and for-mal education when deter-

mining eligibility for FSAFarm Operating and Own-ership Loans. To qualifyfor the Beginning Farmerand Rancher Loan Pro-gram, applicants musthave a minimum level ofagricultural experience,but not more than 10years operating a farm orranch. Whitaker also rec-ommends that people con-sidering a farming careershould visit a new USDAwebsite start2farm.gov tolearn more about USDAand FSA programs for be-ginning farmers andranchers.

Iowa FSA’s support forBeginning and SociallyDisadvantaged Farmersand Ranchers is evident inthe high level of minorityand new farmer participa-tion generated throughstaff outreach into thecommunity. In 2011, 75percent of all FSA farmloans in Iowa were madeto socially disadvantagedfarmers and ranchers.

For more informationabout these and otherUSDA programs, you canalways call or visit yournearest USDA Farm Ser-vice Agency office.

ICA kicks off 2012 bull sales on March 19The Iowa Cattlemen’s

Association (ICA) will con-duct its first performance-selected bull sale of theseason on Monday, March19. The sale at the Bloom-field Livestock AuctionMarket in Bloomfield be-gins at 6:30 p.m.

“With the U.S. cattle in-dustry reporting its lowestcow numbers since 1973,the time is right to select abull that will maximizeyour investment in thecow-calf segment,” saidKellie Carolan, ICA seed-stock manager. “The bulls

consigned for this salehave the genetic potentialto add pounds to your calfcrop and dollars to yourbottom line.”

The sale features bullsthat have met the stan-dards of ICA’s Bull Evalua-tion Program, indicatingthey will provide geneticswith high economic valueto farmers with either com-mercial cow-calf or seed-stock production.

“Breeders have con-signed an excellent set ofbulls that carry breed-lead-ing pedigrees and out-

standing EPDs (expectedprogeny differences),” saidCarolan, who oversees theevaluation program.

Two breeds are repre-sented in the bulls that willbe sold in Bloomfield. The27 yearling bulls, 20Angus and seven Simmen-tal, were tested from Octo-ber 31, 2011, to February20, 2012, at Van MeterFeedyard near GuthrieCenter. The sale bulls rep-resent the top 75 percent ofthe group tested, and wereselected based on carcass,growth and reproductive

merit. “Buyers will find high

performance bulls withreal performance testdata,” Carolan said. “Thissale offering had an aver-age gain of over 4.5pounds per day on-testplus many which excel incalving ease and carcasstraits.”

ICA and Pfizer AnimalHealth will honor breedersof the highest-gaining bullfrom each breed that qual-ified for the Bloomfieldsale prior to the sale. Theyare John Boggess of Os-

kaloosa, who consignedLot 41, an Angus bull siredby “S A V 8180 Traveler004.” This March bullgained 5.18 pounds perday.

Also, hitting the mark of5.18 pounds per day forgain was Lot 31, a Febru-ary son of ‘SVF/NJC Ama-zon.’ Darin Smith ofAlexander, Illinois, raisedthis Simmental bull.

Two other sale dates forbulls that have been testedthrough the ICA evaluationprogram are March 30 atthe Dunlap Livestock Auc-

tion in Dunlap, and May 4at the Tama Livestock Auc-tion in Tama. A group ofperformance-tested openheifers will also sell priorto the Tama bull sale onMay 4.

For more informationabout the ICA Bull Evalua-tion Program or to receivea sale catalog, contact theICA office at 515-296-2266.

ARE YOU PREPARED FOR $1000NH3 AND $5 CORN?

Is your legacy applicationsystem wasting your NH3dollars?— Please read on

[email protected]

Ever think what would happen if you put adifferent amount of nitrogen on each row?Some rows would not get enough and would yield poorly. Some would

get so much that not all could be used; so part would be wasted.

It’s great that you don’t have that problem!

Or do you?A decade ago Mark Hanna at Iowa State proved that legacy manifolds have poor row-

to-row distribution. Then, he was instrumental in the invention of the Impelliconemanifold- which has proven to give excellent distribution.

A decade ago aNH3.Company learned that heat exchangers have “wild card” coolantlines with extreme diversions of ammonia flow to an individual row (or maybe two). Then,they invented the basic Equaply system which avoids the coolant line wilderness.

Some simple math gives the following picture. Say that you apply 200# of N per acreon 1000 acres with a 12 row toolbar at 5 mph. $850 per ton for NH3, seems current, let’suse that price. Let’s pick 10% as the total amount of ammonia over-applied in the “good”rows, probably conservative. The coolant line for most heat exchangers currently in usetypically passes 2 to 3 gpm of ammonia; we’ll pick 2 gpm. Put all this together and youget a total cost of anhydrous of about $103,200. Of this, you lost 24% or $24,700 due topoor manifold design and excessive coolant flow.

John R. Whitaker, State Executive Direc-tor for USDA’s Iowa Farm Service Agency(FSA) stated that a four-week Conserva-tion Reserve Program (CRP) general signupwill begin on March 12 and will end onApril 6.

“CRP has addressed our most critical re-source issues for the past 25 years,” saidWhitaker.

“In Iowa, CRP is an important programfor protecting our most environmentallysensitive lands from erosion and sedimen-tation. CRP also works to ensure the sus-

tainability of our groundwater, lakes,rivers, ponds and streams.”

CRP is a voluntary program available toagricultural producers to help them use en-vironmentally sensitive land for conserva-tion benefits. Producers enrolled in CRPplant long-term, resource-conserving cov-ers to improve the quality of water, controlsoil erosion and develop wildlife habitat.In return, USDA provides participants withrental payments and cost-share assistance.Contract duration is between 10 and 15years. Producers with expiring contracts

and producers with environmentally sensi-tive land are encouraged to evaluate theiroptions under CRP.

Producers also are encouraged to lookinto CRP’s other enrollment opportunitiesoffered on a continuous, non-competitive,signup basis.

Currently, Iowa has 1,658,024 acres en-rolled in CRP; contracts on an estimated231,672 acres will expire on September 30,2012.

CRP, from Page 1B

Offers for CRP con-tracts are ranked accord-ing to the EnvironmentalBenefits Index (EBI).USDA’s Farm ServiceAgency (FSA) collectsdata for each of the EBIfactors based on the rela-tive environmental bene-fits for the land offered.

Each eligible offer isranked in comparison toall other offers and selec-tions made from thatranking.

FSA uses the followingEBI factors to assess theenvironmental benefitsfor the land offered:Wildlife habitat benefitsresulting from covers oncontract acreage; Waterquality benefits from re-duced erosion, runoff andleaching; On-farm bene-fits from reduced erosion;Benefits that will likelyendure beyond the con-tract period; Air qualitybenefits from reducedwind erosion; and Cost.

“As always, strongcompetition is expectedto be able to enroll acresinto CRP, producers areurged to maximize theirenvironmental benefitsand to make cost-effec-tive offers,” addedWhitaker.

Over the past 25 years,farmers, ranchers, con-servationists, hunters,fishermen and other out-door enthusiasts have

made CRP the largest andone of the most importantin USDA’s conservationportfolio.

CRP continues to makemajor contributions tonational efforts to im-prove water and air qual-ity, prevent soil erosionby protecting the mostsensitive areas includingthose prone to flashflooding and runoff. At

the same time, CRP hashelped provide habitat forpheasants, quail, ducks,and other rare species,such as the sage grouse,the lesser prairie chicken,and others. Highlights ofCRP include:

Iowa birds find refuge in prairie conservation strips

With small strips of na-tive prairies, Iowa farmerscan provide vital habitatfor grassland birds thathave diminished in num-bers across the UnitedStates, according to re-search funded by theLeopold Center for Sus-tainable Agriculture.

Anna MacDonald, grad-uate student in wildlifeecology at Iowa State Uni-versity, studies how birdsuse narrow strips of nativeprairie incorporated intorow-cropped fields as partof the STRIPs project at theNeal Smith NationalWildlife Refuge. Her workis featured in a newLeopold Center video.

The STRIPs project (Sci-ence-Based Trials of Row-crops Integrated withPrairies), led by MattHelmers in ISU’s Depart-ment of Agricultural andBiosystems Engineering,began in 2007 with a com-petitive grant from theLeopold Center. Re-

searchers planted 14 smallwatersheds with a varietyof treatments, rangingfrom conventional agricul-ture, to mixed systemswith prairie conservationstrips that cover 10 or 20percent of the watershed,to reconstructed prairies.Members of the researchteam study how prairiestrips reduce soil erosion,decrease nitrate and phos-phorus movement andprovide other vital ecosys-tem services.

MacDonald explainedthat planting a prairie mix,rather than a singlespecies of grass likebrome, adds an importantbenefit: habitat for birds.Birds need diverse nativegrasslands to forage forinsects and raisenestlings. They inter-weave their nests into thestems of grasses and wild-flowers.

“Grassland bird specieshave gone through amajor decline in the Unit-

ed States,” MacDonaldsaid. “A lot of it is due tohabitat loss.”

Creating large blocks ofhabitat isn’t always possi-ble in Iowa’s intensivelyfarmed landscape. Buteven small amounts ofprairie can improve biodi-versity. MacDonald ob-serves how birds respond

to prairie strips integratedwith row crops. She walksthrough the watershedand marks the location ofany bird she sees or hears,a technique called spotmapping. In the past fiveyears, MacDonald and hercolleagues have recorded52 species in the STRIPsresearch sites, with an av-

erage of 31 species ob-served each year.

MacDonald also hasidentified 11 species nest-ing in the prairie strips, in-cluding Field Sparrowsand Dickcissels. The IowaDepartment of Natural Re-sources has listed Fieldsparrows and Dickcisselsas Species of Greatest Con-

servation Need, meaningthat they have small or de-clining populations.

Creating bird habitat canoffer benefits to farmersand landowners. A 2006survey conducted by theU.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser-vice found that 48 percentof Iowa residents (age 16or older) participate inwildlife watching, and res-idents and visitors com-bined spent $318 millionin Iowa for wildlife-watch-ing activities.

“I’m interested in the fu-ture of Iowa for people, butI’m also interested in thefuture of Iowa forwildlife,” MacDonald said.

“For a long time there’sbeen this dichotomy thatsome lands are for farm-ing and production andother lands are for conser-vation…. I don’t see whythat can’t be part of Iowa’sfuture, having productionand conservation inter-woven so you can getmore from the land.”

It encourages Iowans,businesses and organiza-tions to donate to the Glob-al Compassion Network(GCN) based in Laurens.The goal of the campaign isto purchase 48 storm re-sistant homes to be con-structed on the Village ofHope. The 11-acre village,established last year by theGCN, provides transitionalhousing for families andchildren displaced by theJanuary 2010 earthquake.

Tim Wittmaack, GCNtreasurer, said farmers candonate to the campaign bydownloading a gift-of-grain form from the “Spe-cial Delivery” website

(www.iowafoodandfami-ly.com/specialdelivery) andtaking it with them to theirlocal elevator or grain ter-minal. With the form, thefarmer designates thenumber of bushels of corn,soybeans or other grain togift to the GCN. The eleva-tor or terminal is then di-rected to sell the grain atthe day’s market price andsend the proceeds to GCN.

“Gifting grain is a con-venient and easy way forfarmers to support thisunique campaign that’sproviding assistance to theneediest of the needy,”Wittmaack stated.

The homes, designed bySheffield-based SukupManufacturing Co., areideal for Haiti.

They measure 18-feetwide by 14-feet tall and aremade entirely of metal,making them resistant totermites and moisture.Each home can sleep 10 ormore and features a dou-ble-roofed system that dis-places heat, two windowsthat can be locked fromwithin and a water collec-tion system. The cost ofeach unit is $5,700, has a

life expectancy of 75 years,can withstand strongwinds and can be assem-bled on-site with simplehand tools.

The Iowa Soybean Asso-ciation is also providing$1,000 per donated home(up to $48,000) towardsMeals from the Heartlandto provide much-neededfood for the Haitian earth-quake victims. Each soy-based food package feedssix people and costs just$1.20. The meal packagecontains soy protein, rice,vitamin powder and driedvegetables.

Since the announcementof “Special Delivery.Homes. Help. Hope. ForHaiti” last December, near-ly 30 homes have beenpledged with contributionsfor both homes and mealstotaling more nearly$175,000.

“Special Delivery” runsthrough June 1, 2012. Con-tributions can also be madeby logging on towww.iowafoodandfami-ly.com/specialdelivery orsend to: GCN, Attn: SpecialDelivery, 1066 440th St.,Linn Grove, IA 51033.

Vilsack touts dividends of soil, water conservationsby David Hendee,

Omaha World-HeraldU.S. Agriculture Secre-

tary Tom Vilsack came toa Nebraska temple ofhunting and fishing totalk about dirt and water.

With mounts of a muledeer and grizzly bearover his shoulder, Vilsacksaid that federal soil andwater conservation pro-grams not only are goodfor the environment,they’re good for the na-tion’s rural economy.

“This wonderful store... surrounds us with themessage that it’s aboutjobs,” Vilsack said duringa Monday, March 5, stopat Cabela’s in La Vista.

Cabela’s, the Nebraska-based outdoor retailer,employs a couple hun-dred people at the subur-

ban Omaha store and ispart of a $730 billion na-tional outdoor recreationindustry.

Flanked by Buckknives and camouflageshooting shirts, Vilsackstressed the widespreaddividends of the federalConservation ReserveProgram.

Farmers and ranchersearn more income, soiland water quality im-proves, wildlife habitatand diversity expands,and there are greater op-portunities for outdoorrecreation, he said.

More pheasants, quail,hunting, fishing, hikingand four-wheeling createmore opportunities forlandowners and busi-nesses to create jobs, Vil-sack said.

The Conservation Re-serve Program payslandowners to take high-ly erodible and environ-mentally fragile acres outof crop production.

It is the nation’s largestand most successful pub-lic-private partnership forconservation and habitatprotection.

At the end of last year,there were nearly 30 mil-lion U.S. acres of land inthe program, includingone million acres in Ne-braska and 1.6 millionacres in Iowa.

Contracts on about 6.5million U.S. acres arescheduled to expire thisyear.

Vilsack said he hopedthat a new incentive of-fering $150 per acre toenroll land -- up from

$100 -- would encouragelandowners to partici-pate.

There is strong compe-tition for acres.

Farmers are reapinghigh prices for crops,which often pressuresidle land back into pro-duction as contracts ex-pire.

To limit the losses, theU.S. Department of Agri-culture is launching newinitiatives aimed at giv-ing landowners a varietyof opportunities to enrollat least slices of theirland in paid conservationprograms.

Vilsack, a former Iowagovernor, was in Nebras-ka to address the Nation-al Farmers Union con-vention at the La VistaConference Center.

Project improves water quality of Brushy CreekStream nowsafe for contactrecreation

A three-year project fi-nanced by local farmers andag businesses, federal farmbill conservation programs,and a State of Iowa granthas resulted in waters onceunfit for contact recreationnow being verified as safefor swimming, kayakingand other water sports.

Carroll County’s UpperBrushy Creek had been thesite of multiple fish kills, andbacteria levels made thestream unsafe for recre-ation. Water monitoringconducted by Agriculture’sClean Water Alliance(ACWA) had tracked thebacteria levels and alsofound the stream to be high

in nitrate concentration.The ACWA monitoring

data was used by local anddownstream stakeholders tosuccessfully apply for StateWatershed ImprovementReview Board (WIRB) proj-ect funding. Iowa SoybeanAssociation (ISA), USDANatural Resources Conser-vation Service (NRCS), IowaDepartment of Natural Re-sources (IDNR), HeartlandCooperative, Dedham Coop-erative, ACWA — and mostimportantly, farmers of theBrushy Creek watershed —partnered with lead appli-cant Des Moines WaterWorks (DMWW) in achiev-ing project goals.

Chris Jones, who coordi-nated the WIRB applicationwhile supervising theDMWW lab and now is atISA, says, “Density of E coli

in the stream at Dedham,the lower end of the projectarea, declined throughoutthe project. Data from 2011indicate the stream is nowsafe for recreation. This is ahuge achievement.”

Farmers in the watershedcontributed $782,166 inmatching funds to imple-ment practices, aided by$433,110 in USDA NRCSEnvironmental Quality Im-provement Program (EQIP)cost share and ConservationReserve Program (CRP)payments. Combined with$206,500 in WIRB fundsand in-kind contributions,the total project investmenttopped $1.5 million.

Data from extensiveACWA water monitoring,conducted in partnershipwith DMWW, helped targetthe use of these resources to

achieve results and made itpossible to document the re-markable success. Monitor-ing costs and logistical chal-lenges make such targetingand documentation rare.

Much Brushy Creek Pro-ject work focused on prac-tices to prevent manuretransport from feedlots tothe stream. Patrick Corey,then Carroll County’s SoilConservationist, helpedlandowners attract substan-tial cost share dollars intothe watershed for grass wa-terways, vegetated strips,terraces, and maybe mostimportantly, open-air hoopbuilding cattle confine-ments. These help preventmanure transport duringrainstorms and also im-prove animal health.

ISA and NRCS staffworked with farmers on

Comprehensive NutrientManagement Plans andcorn stalk nitrogen testing toimprove management with-out reducing crop produc-tion. Two denitrifying biore-actors were also installed.

Although grant fundingfor the WIRB project hasended, practices implement-ed during the project willproduce water quality bene-fits for years.

Carroll County has madeBrushy Creek a priority andwill continue to award extrapoints to applications forprojects there.

“It’s been a very success-ful project,” Corey says.“Producers accepted theproject well and were willingand eager to implementpractices. A lot of work hasbeen completed and a lot offarmers are changing prac-

tices to improve the envi-ronment.”

ACWA is an association of13 west central Iowa ag re-tailers with a dual missionto help farmers improveagronomic performancewhile supporting environ-mental performance. ACWAhas invested more than $1million since 1999 in waterquality monitoring in theRaccoon and the DesMoines Rivers and theirlargest tributaries. Thismonitoring characterizesconditions in upstream wa-ters, highlights unique con-ditions and potential solu-tions in specific watershedsand helps obtain resourcesfor remedial strategies likethose implemented inBrushy Creek.

The Agricultural Entre-preneurship Initiative atIowa State University hascreated a program offeringbusinesses access to ex-clusive workshops, strate-gic leadership roundtablesand interaction with topCollege of Agriculture andLife Sciences students.

The Affiliates Program,launched in 2011, has alimited number of mem-berships available forcompanies and organiza-tions.

Applications are accept-ed at http://www.entrepre-neurship.ag.iastate.edu/affiliates.html.

“Membership in the Af-filiates Program providessupport for importantwork in agricultural entre-preneurship,” said LarryPetersen, CEO and generalmanager of Heartland Co-op. “It supports our effortsin strategic innovation. Forexample, we’re workingon a strategic development

project where a team ofISU students will supportdevelopment of a businessplan over the course of thesummer.”

Affiliate membershipsare based on a three-yearcommitment of $10,000annually.

The support gainedthrough affiliate member-ships enables the Agricul-tural Entrepreneurship Ini-tiative to continue to pro-vide College of Agricultureand Life Sciences under-graduates with education-al programming and entre-preneurial experiences.

To date, more than1,300 undergraduateshave participated in entre-preneurship and businessdevelopment activitiesthrough the initiative.

“I’ve had a number ofopportunities to interactwith and learn from keyindustry professionals, es-pecially affiliate members,through the Agricultural

Entrepreneurship Initia-tive” said AliciaHumphrey, sophomore inagricultural communica-tions.

“Being part of theirbusiness developmentprojects has helped tobroaden my knowledgebase while preparing mefor my future in the agri-cultural industry.”

Director of the initiativeKevin Kimle, RastetterChair of Agricultural En-trepreneurship, said theAffiliates Program is a wayto broaden the initiativesreach and engage more ofthe agriculture industry inentrepreneurship and in-novation.

He stated, “Our view ofentrepreneurship and in-novation in agriculture isthat it must take placeacross the full range of or-ganizations in our indus-try, whether start-up com-panies or companies witha much longer history. Our

aim is to create a construc-tive ecosystem for innova-tion and entrepreneurshipacross agriculture.”

The Agricultural Entre-preneurship Initiative atIowa State was established

in 2005. The initiative works to

broaden understanding ofentrepreneurship amongfaculty and students of theCollege of Agriculture andLife Sciences at Iowa State

by providing educationalexperiences to developstudents’ entrepreneurialskills and increase interac-tion among students, fac-ulty and agricultural entre-preneurs.

At The Table with Joel Tharp“At the Table” is au-

thored by Aaron Putze,director of external rela-tions for the Iowa Soy-bean Association.

Putze also coordinatesof the Iowa Food & Fami-ly Project, a purpose-driv-en initiative celebratingfood and farming that in-spires greater trust be-tween farmers and con-sumers.

Putze’s guest for thisedition of “At The Table”is Joel Tharp, owner/man-ager of Tharp Subway Inc.

Aaron Putze: Youdon’t farm, but you havea lot in common withfarmers. Explain.

Joel Tharp: We’re part-ners because we’re all inthe food business.

And our family of morethan 200 employees, justlike farmers, strives to dothings better every day.Farmers tend to theircrops and livestock; wetend to our customers.

Farmers check soil tem-peratures; we monitorfood temperatures.

We have to choose theright product to sell; farm-ers choose the right prod-uct to grow, such as abushel of soybeans thathas the right amount of oilcontent. The similaritiesare nearly endless.

Aaron: Food is yourlife. What’s the most im-portant thing you wantpeople to know?

Joel: That food is safe.In fact, it’s so safe thatpeople assume it.

That’s a real blessingand a testimony to thefarmers who provide itand the people who serveit.

Subway places a veryhigh priority on food safe-ty, from the farm to thetable.

Aaron: You have astrong affinity for farm-ers and the Iowa Food &Family Project. Why?

Joel: They care aboutwhat they do, work hardand never stop improving.Our Subway family sharesthis same approach in

work and life. We’re allabout healthy food andproviding lots of options.

When you come to Sub-way, you can select frommany choices about whatyou eat.

Subway, farmers andthe Iowa Food & FamilyProject are partners inhelping people live health-ier and more active lives.

Aaron: What do youknow about Subwaythat most people don’t?

Joel: One-hundred per-cent of the meat in ourCold Cut Combo that’ssourced from West Liber-

ty Foods is provided byIowa livestock farmers.

Turkey is one of themost popular meats thatwe serve and nearly 70percent of the turkeyserved by Subway issourced from Iowa’sfarms.

That creates a marketfor nearly 130,000turkeys per week. We alsoserve the equivalent of 20acres of lettuce and usemore tomatoes than anyother restaurant.

Aaron: What impress-es you most aboutIowa?

Joel: Its people and thefact that our state is wherefood comes from.

In fact, the highest-quality food that we’reseeing comes from Iowa’sfarms.

I’m extremely proud ofthe fact that there’s nobetter place to live andwork and no better loca-tion on the planet to farmthan Iowa.

Aaron: How did yourSubway career start?

Joel: My folks had afriend in Cedar Rapidsthat owned a medical sup-ply business.

They went to a tradeshow in the late ‘80s andlearned about Subway.

The company talked toDad for more than twoyears to convince him toopen a store.

It’s been an importantand rewarding part of ourlife ever since.

Aaron: Farmers relyon many different peo-ple to be successful.Who do you dependupon?

Joel: A committed teamof employees and a vari-ety of companies includ-ing Frito-Lay, OtisSpunkmeyer and Pills-bury.

And speaking of Pills-bury, it’s not unusual forour busier stores to servemore than 400 loaves ofbread in one day.

Aaron: If you couldenjoy just one Subwaysandwich, which wouldit be?

Joel: I’d have to go withthe Subway Club onhoney oat, not toasted.

Meet Joe TharpJoel Tharp has been affiliated with Subway for more

than 20 years. His family has roots in Iowa and agri-culture, currently operating 13 Subway franchisesstretching across central Iowa – from Grinnell to Adel.

West Liberty Foods, an Iowa-farmer owned compa-ny, is Subway’s largest supplier of fresh turkey, hamand beef.

Joel, his wife, Devorah, and family live in West DesMoines.
