Capturing the wind’s energy has nearly comefull circle in rural Iowa.
According to the Iowa Energy Center’s “AHistory of Wind Energy,” in the late 1800s,nearly 80 U.S. companies manufactured wind-mills, primarily used to pump water for live-stock, and the machines comprised a majorAmerican export product.
About 40 years later, small two and threebladed electricity-generating turbines wereinstalled at hundreds of thousands of rural,midwestern homesteads to charge batteries orrun small appliances and lights.
While the first recorded use of wind turbinesoccurred more than a thousands years ago inthe Middle East, technological innovation of
the devices slowed to a crawl with theinvention and increasingly common use
of steam and later diesel engines, andthe creation of a reliable, wide-
spread electrical grid.

WE DO IT ALL!
by Emma StruveAt the end of June, Jean
Christensen retired from her positionas the Crawford County Soil andWater Conservation District secre-tary, a position she held for about 35years and the second job she workedsince graduating from Manning HighSchool in 1961.
Christensen grew up nearAspinwall with her twin sister andfamily, including another sister andbrother, before moving to Nebraskaand working with Mutual of Omaha.
Literally, the day after high schoolgraduation, Christensen was at work.
“I couldn’t wait to get away fromhome and start my own job,” sheexplained.
Christensen and her husband,James, met in high school and mar-ried in June 1962. They have fourkids: Jolene, Jeff, Janelle, and Julie(yes, all the “Js” were on purpose).
The family has resided in Denisonsince 1965. In November, James andJean will welcome their first great-grandchild, who will join their exist-ing 10 grandchildren.
When Christensen accepted a part-time assistant secretary position withthe Soil and Water ConservationDistrict in 1974, in a combined officewith the NRCS (USDA Natural
Resource Conservation Service inCrawford County), she did not antici-pate remaining with the job for threedecades.
Shortly after she was hired,Christensen was promoted to secre-tary. In the intervening years,Christensen worked under three dif-ferent bosses, and in three differentlocations.
Most recently, Christensen workedwith District Conservationist JayFord, though Ford also has accumu-lated quite a tenure at the office:more than 30 years.
The office relocated to 3707Timberline Drive, just south ofYellow Smoke Park, in 2001 butbefore that was in uptown Denison.
Christensen has seen other changesin the office, too.
“When I started, you know, I did mytyping on an old manual typewriter.Of course, nowadays, everything’scomputerized,” she described. “Thatwas something I had to learn – on thejob training.”
Coinciding with Christensen’s hir-ing was the beginning of the state’scost share program to help farmersinstitute conservation practices ontheir land, which include installingterraces, waterways, and windbreaks.
In keeping with the modernizationof the office, the conservation pro-
grams’ application process, onceentirely paper based, are now nearlycompletely computerized.
“You still have as many forms, justa different way of doing it,”Christensen quipped.
She observed that the number oflandowners in the county has seemedto stay about the same and they madeup some of the most fun and reward-ing parts of her job: “Visiting withpeople, landowners. I get along wellwith everybody here,” she remarked.
In contrast, the most challengingaspect of the position was adapting tothe computer work.
Once she retires, “I’ll miss people
here, but I won’t miss the paperworkand computer work,” Christensencommented.
After her retirement, Christensensaid she and her husband would liketo travel.
“There’s some places in the U.S.we’ve never been,” Christensen stat-ed.
First on the list to explore are LasVegas and Washington, D.C.
Another change, “I’m looking for-ward to spending a summer out-doors,” she commented. Christensensaid she enjoys gardening and camp-ing with her kids and grandkids.
Though, Christensen admitted, shehas some mixed feelings about retir-ing, a combination of excitement to“call your time your own” and someanxiety. She concluded, “I kind ofhate leaving the people.”
Jean Christensen saw many changes dur-ing her 35 years working at the NRCSoffice in Crawford County. She retired atthe end of June.
After three decades, Christensenretires from NRCS officeTenure spans time from paper tocomputerized applications

As energy prices increased late in the 20th cen-tury, scientists and engineers pursued updatingdesigns and system capabilities with renewedvigor.
Now, Iowa residents and legislators at the stateand federal level are showing enhanced interest inwind energy. Legislation passed provides tax cred-its up to 30 percent of the cost of wind turbines andother renewable energy systems.
“I see it as a growing industry,” said LukeHaffner, Southwest Windpower dealer andinstaller in northwest Iowa. “Wind should not justbe used by the utility companies.”
He directed those interested in more informationabout the financial opportunities currently avail-able to visit www.dsireusa.org, a Web site for theDatabase of State Incentives for Renewables andEfficiency, a project maintained by the NorthCarolina Solar Center and the InterstateRenewable Energy Council.
In 1998, acreage owner Grant Mangold beganexploring power generation options in conjunc-tions with the, then newly created, Iowa EnergyCenter Revolving Loan program, which offers lowor no-interest financing to businesses and individ-uals installing alternative energy systems.
“At that time, the construction two miles away ofthe commercial wind farms on ‘Buffalo Ridge’north of Alta and the updated information aboutaverage wind speed conditions added incentive,and additional research resulted in a proposal sub-mitted to the Iowa Energy Center, which wasaccepted,” he said in an e-mail interview.
After several months, Mangold selected andinstalled a system with both a Bergey EXCELwind turbine and Solarex photovoltaic panels(solar array) at his home near Linn Grove inBuena Vista County.
Mangold said, “With 14-mph average wind con-ditions at this location, the system can produce20,000 to 25,000 kilowatt hours of electricity,about the amount consumed on our acreage, con-sisting of a house, shop and office.”
The solar array generates an additional 3,000kilowatt hours of electricity per year.
“God’s intelligent design of the cosmos includesenergy, which He created us to need, and to expe-rience and to use. And so mankind has learnedhow to harness this energy from the sun, withwind turbines and photo-voltaic panels,” Mangold
rationalized.The use of a combination system, explained Bill
Haman of the Iowa Energy Center, balances theresources available throughout the seasons. Iowa’swinds are strongest and most reliable during thewinter but lacking and irregular during the sum-mer. In contrast, solar energy is the strongest dur-ing the summer so the system provides more uni-form power throughout the year.
Haman manages both the industrial programand Alternate Energy Revolving Loan program.
Net-metering, the process of selling power to thegrid when a system produces excess and buying itback when there is a deficit, was not availablewhen Mangold installed his system so he initiallyused it to charge a battery bank. He has sinceupdate the system to integrate with the grid.
According to Haffner, many homes use between1,000 and 2,000 kilowatt hours per month and amoderately sized turbine, such as a Skystream 3.7,can produce between 400 and 600 kilowatt hours.Installation is especially appealing when used inconjunction with other energy saving tactics.
He and his wife Roxanne make a “playful game”out of the “green movement” trying to teach theirtwo kids about conservation.
Haffner lives near Lytton and works with thefamily business, Heartland Siding and Windows.He started Heartland Wind as an enterprise tobring value to the business and their customers.The idea may have come from Haffner’s daughter,who he said, is “fascinated” with the big turbinesthat were recently installed near their home.
Regardless of philosophy, installing a wind orsolar system offers financial incentives.
“Some people buy a new pickup, and others buya renewable energy system,” Mangold said. “Plus,you pay for the electrical generation equipmentwith today’s dollars, so no matter the cost of elec-tricity in the future, your system will produceit…this makes a renewable energy system anexcellent hedge on coming economic conditions,since utility costs aren’t expected to drop regard-less of general economic conditions.”
Haffner agreed and said wind turbines offer“easily identifiable risks if you are looking at acomparison with other investments.”
Turbines “pencil out” he continued, though thepayoff time is dependent on many variables.
In 2002 Fred Ashler, retired doctor, installed awind turbine at his Hamburg residence inFreemont County – the first residentially sizedunit in his area.
“One way or the other we pay a price” for theenergy we create andconsume, Ashler com-mented.
Across the road fromhis residence are twocoal plants, Ashler said,that release sulfur intothe air.
“You have to pay a lit-tle more but you havehealthier air tobreathe,” Ashler said ofthe turbine.
As in Mangold’s case,technology has changedsince Ashler erected histurbine. It is aging andrequiring costly repairs.He chose to purchasethe unit from a companyin Minnesota making itdifficult to get service.
An additional chal-lenge, Ashler explained,is that because he isnear the Iowa border,his power comes fromMissouri. Right now, the
agreement with his electricity supplier mandatesthat he purchase power from the company at theretail rate of approximately 13¢ per kilowatt andhe is paid wholesale for the excess power he gen-erates, a rate of about 2¢ per kilowatt.
Ashler advised those considering installation ofa system to carefully consider the ongoing servicecapabilities of the turbine dealer, the opportuni-ties available through the local power company,and carefully size the turbine to power usage. Anadditional consideration, offered Haffner, is thecounty or municipality zoning requirements.
Ashler’s unit, which produces between 1,000 and3,000 kilowatts per month, does not always meethis needs.
“Six months out of the year it pays the electricbill, and six months it doesn’t,” he said.
The Iowa Energy Center, created by an act of theIowa General Assembly in 1990, is located in Amesand administrated by Iowa State University. Thecenter’s mission is to conduct and sponsor researchon energy efficiency, alternative energy systems,and energy conservation; provide educational anddemonstration programs; and assist Iowans inassessing alternative energy technology includingwind, solar, biomass, and hydro.
Tools such as wind maps showing averagemonthly wind speeds by location and a turbineoutput calculator are available at the center’s Website: www.energy.iastate.edu. The site alsoincludes information about grants and availablefunding for individuals or businesses consideringthe purchase of alternative energy technology.
CAPTURING THE WINDContinued from page 1
Residentially sized wind turbines, like the one picturedhere, start producing power when wind speeds arebetween five and ten miles per hour – ideal for Iowa’swind profile that averages between 12 and 19 mile perhour wind speeds annually. (Photo submitted)

Laughing, lessons, and learningFor 11 years, I have
been trying to convincemy farmer to take ourchildren on a vacation.Well, to be fair, it’s justbeen the last five.
For our 10th anniver-sary, he and I went toJamaica, our first bigvacation since our hon-eymoon. He loved itand wanted to go back,and I told him we hadto take a vacation withthe kids first.
You see, we have amixed marriage whenit comes to vacationpriorities.
His family’s vacationeach year was going tothe Iowa State Fair fora day.
My family’s vacationwas winding our waythrough the westernUnited States withstops at my aunts’homes in Colorado andCalifornia. When I
graduated from highschool, I had seenalmost everything westof Iowa, except Alaska,Hawaii, Washingtonand Oregon.
By the time my hus-band had graduatedfrom high school, hehad seen significantlyless. However, he didtake a trip with theFFA to go fishing inCanada .
So, my farmer wasperfectly happy takingour children to theIowa State Fair eachyear as our vacation.
I was not content. Iwant my children tosee more of the worldlike I did.
For my 40th birth-day, I said I wanted totake a trip with thekids somewhere fun.
I saw online thatScience City in KansasCity was hosting the
“Chronicles of Narnia”exhibit from Maythrough August, so Ithought that would beperfect. I had been toScience City when Iwas working with GirlScouts, and it offers awonderful educationalopportunity forkids...and they don’teven know they’relearning because it’s somuch fun!
I talked him into oneday but because he did-n’t want to do so muchdriving in one day, weleft the night beforeand stayed in a hotel.
He learned some les-sons that night.
First, you can makeit from Denison toKansas City on onetank of gas, but makesure you don’t get lost.
Second, double checkexit numbers becausethe directions on the
websites aren’t alwaysright when road con-struction is involved.
Third, the downtownKansas City interstatesystem may have beendesigned by someonewho didn’t “ace” theircivil engineering finalexams...allegedly.
I learned that myhusband gets way moretense in stressful con-ditions than I do, suchas not being able to getoff the correct exit, get-ting lost, almost run-ning out of gas, andhaving your children inthe backseat in a ques-tionable neighborhood.
Afterwards, speakingwith my father, I toldhim my tendency toremain calm wasbecause of those funsituations growing upwith his “shortcuts” onvacations.
Prime example: “Wecan take this gravelroad because it’s onlygravel for this much(quarter inch) on themap.”
Two hours later, stillon the gravel road,going over cattle gratesthrough the middle ofnowhere, and runningout of gas, dad andmom were a little lessthan laid back aboutthe situation. I learnedthat stress is relative.
Telling him aboutour Kansas City expe-
rience, dad said, “Iwonder how ladies whohaven’t grown up withme as a father handleit.”
For me, it was justanother vacation expe-rience.
The next morning,the kids loved ScienceCity and the Narniaexhibit. We gotthrough all of thatbefore lunch.
Growing up, my dadhad taught me the artof seeing everythingquickly during his less-than-laid-back years.
We went through theSan Diego Zoo in twohours and saw every-thing. Of course, wedidn’t stop to readabout the elephants orgiraffes. He said wecould look it up in theencyclopedias when wegot home.
One of my coworkerstold me about theCrayola Cafe in theCrown Center, so wewent there for lunch. Itwas wonderful.
Then, my oldest sonwanted to see an exhib-it of a Lego artist. Thethings that can be donewith Legos are incredi-ble! He is even learn-ing more about him,and trading emailswith the artist, as a 4Hproject.
All-in-all, I would saythat we had a very fun,and educational time.
I joked on the wayback to the car thatwith the two museumexhibits, scienceexhibits, and the plane-tarium “Peter and theWolf” show, I instilledsome culture into theboys and they didn’teven know it.
My husband asked ifhe could instill some ofhis culture into theboys during the nextvacation.
I told him they werea little young forNASCAR and beer.

by Nate Ketelsen, Denison FFA Reporter“I feel confident in most of the areas,” said
Denison FFA member Lucas Ipsen, “but we needto work on the landscaping general knowledge.”
That thought was shared by all members of theDenison FFA Landscaping and Nursery team asthey worked the afternoon and evening before thestate event.
Lucas Ipsen, Christina Riessen, Mike Rothe, andKyle Rickers participated in the Iowa FFALandscaping and Nursery Career Developmentevent on the Des Moines Area Community Collegecampus in Ankeny.
The FFA activity strengthens the skills of stu-dents that are interested in the field of landscap-ing.
Activities the membersof the 18 teams that par-ticipated included a gen-eral knowledge test andmath problem solving.
The test covered a widearea of topics from dis-eases to fertilization, lawncare to tree planting, andfrom grafting to startingplants from seed.
Participants had toidentify 56 different trees and shrubs and 30 typesof plant disorders that ranged from diseases,insects, nutritional, environmental and weed prob-lems.
Another section of the career development event
(CDE) was plant selection. In this portion of thecompetition FFA members had to select five plantsout of 10 they would use for a specific landscapingsituation. Plant specimens included deciduoustrees, evergreens, deciduous shrubs, evergreenshrubs and ground cover.
A landscape drawing was provided and membersanswered 10 questions related to the plan, whichinvolved math computation and general informa-tion.
The last segment of the competition involvedanalyzing problems that may occur with landscap-ing tools. Equipment could include mowers, chain-saws, trimmers, aerators and hand tools.
All members of the Denison FFA had individualsuccess in this state event. Lucas Ipsen placedthird in general knowledge. Christina Riessen fin-ished third in plant identification. Kyle Rickerswas the third place individual in the plant disor-ders and assessments and was the champion in thelandscaping general knowledge test.
All placed in the top 10 overall with Lucas plac-ing 9th, Christina earning 7th, Kyle finishing 5th,and with consistent scores Mike Rothe placing thehighest for the Denison FFA in 4th.
As a team the Denison FFA placed 8th in theplant selection, 7th in plant disorder, 6th on thedrawing practicum, 4th in math problem solving,3rd in equipment solutions, 2nd in plant identifi-cation, and was the champion team in the land-scaping general knowledge test.
The combined effort made the Denison FFA thestate reserve champion landscaping and nurseryteam.
“I learned what trees are in my yard and I canidentify the plants around the community,” com-mented Christina Riessen.
“Everything you do becomes part of your life,”said Lucas Ipsen. “Landscaping has been a goodexperience for me.”

The cost of erosionextends beyondlost crop groundproductivity
by Emma StruveIn many cases, the need for ditch cleaning, both
a common sight and work vital to maintainingroadways, is reduced when conservation practicesare implemented in surrounding cropland.
“Basically, the county has some ditches that getcleaned out quite frequently. That’s a sign thatsomething’s not being done right above,” said JayFord, USDA Natural Resource ConservationService district conservationist.
Crawford County Engineer Paul Assman saidthat some area ditches require cleaning every fewyears, while others may not need attention forfifty, if ever.
“I think three to five years is too often; I’d rathersee it closer to 10-20,” he continued.
Whether erosion is identified because the ditch-es a field drains into are filling with top soil or theproducer begins to notice rills and ephemerals, therivulets and trenches cut in fields by runningwater, Ford offered three options for good conser-vation practices.
The first, which requires little or no outsideassistance, is no-tilling row crops.
The second line of defense against erosion is tomaintain properly functioning waterways.
“A lot of what’s in the ditches, is because water-ways aren’t functioning correctly,” said Ford. Insome cases the waterway may not be the correctshape or cross section to promote drainage. Also,waterways, in time, may become full of silt, whichthen causes water to run down the sides, heexplained.
Repairing or installing waterways, Fordremarked, will “take care of the most acres thequickest.”
A third strategy, and the option that requires themost input, is to install terraces, which Fordexplained literally decrease the drainage area of afield because they capture water.
According to Ford, about 75 percent of erosionsituations are remediable. For the remaining 25percent, there may not be anything new or differ-ent that can be done to prevent erosion.
For instance, Assman recalled, that on June 8and 9 of 2008 some areas in Crawford Countyreceived between six and seven inches of rainfall,which he called “a pretty intense event” thatresulted in a “substantial amount of erosion.”Structures in place for decades failed to provideadequate protection and unprotected fields con-tributed to the top soil loss.
Erosion from routine and catastrophic eventscontribute to problems.
“What happens then is, the soil moves down intoour ditches,” Assman stated.
Essentially, he explained, erosion dumping soil
into road ditches reduces the road’s ability to carryloads in the long term.
Specifically, when the ground around the roadbecomes saturated because water cannot efficient-ly drain away, the structure of the roadbed andsurrounding ditches is compromised.
Effects of the process are seen when hillsidesslough off or sections of a roadway become difficultor nearly impossible to maintain, regardless ofsurface type.
The destabilization may be most evident ongravel roads but the same effect occurs underpaved roads – the underlying subgrade cannotsupport the vehicle load and the road surface,whether asphalt or cement, disintegrates during ashortened life span.
“The performance of a roadway is in large part afunction of drainage, surface type, and nature ofthe traffic,” Assman summarized.
The county’s tax payers then become responsiblefor the expense to repair roads and clean ditches.
Since April of 2009, Crawford County has hiredcontractors for ditch cleaning projects in ninetownships in addition to the projects underway bythe two in-house ditch cleaning crews. Bidamounts for the nine contracted projects hasexceeded $270,000.
Assman said the going rate for ditch cleanout isfive dollars per linear foot. In Crawford County,there are more than 876 miles of gravel roads,meaning there are more than 1,700 miles of ditch-es.
In addition to the detrimental effect erosion hason roadways, flowing water that carries sedimentbegins at a non-point source but becomes concen-trated and more aggressive as it travels throughthe watershed into ditches, streams, and finallyinto lakes or ponds eventually compromising waterquality, Assman pointed out.
He stated that it is everyone’s best interest to“keep soil in the fields.”
While it is difficult to attribute yield loss to ero-sion in a formulaic way because so many factorsmust be taken together, a very rough estimate,Ford offered, would be a 10 to 15 percent yield lossfor each phase of top soil erosion. Though, he con-tinued, “Erosion is easy to mask with fertilizer.”
Still, Ford concluded, “If you let it (top soil) go,you’re loosing productivity. I don’t think anybodywould argue with that.”

Iowa’s transient soils
Crawford County utilizes two in-house ditch cleaningcrews all summer long, the telescoop unit pictured hereis working with a section of road on H Avenue east ofHighway 59 north of Denison. (Photo by Bruce A.Binning)
by Emma StruveMost of the state saw a
dramatic weather tran-sition in June fromunseasonably cool tem-peratures and fitfulrainfall to extremelywarm and wet condi-tions.
ISU Extension agrono-my specialist fromacross western Iowaresponded to an e-mailsurvey conducted byIowa Farm & Ranch togauge crop progress.
George Cummins, ISUExtension field agrono-mist from Charles City,
provides service inWinnebago, Worth,Mitchell, Hancock, CerroGordo, Floyd, Franklin,Butler, Bremer, Grundy,Black Hawk Counties innorth central Iowa.
“It took us six weeks toget everything plantedthe first time because ofthe wet, rainy spells,”Cummins stated. “GDUs(growing degree days)didn’t accumulate veryfast in early June; andthe corn growth particu-larly was running sevento ten days behind.
“The warm muggy
weather that is uncom-fortable for us speedscorn growth.”
Though, Cumminssaid, “We are in muchbetter shape than in2008 at this time.”
Given the challengesthat occurred alreadythis growing season andexisting conditions,Cummins offered,“Conditions vary acrossthe area…final yieldsare yet to be determinedbut the potential is therefor a good crop for many.
“Farmers start the sea-son as optimists with100 percent of their yieldgoal and start subtract-ing as the season pro-gresses (for) delayedplanting, reduced stand,hail damage, early frost,etc…but many farmers
have subtracted little sofar,” he explained.
Cummins reportedthat soybean aphidshave been found in northeast and central Iowacontributing to a theorythat 2009 may be similarto 2007 when aphidtreatments were justifi-able.
“Weed management isprobably demandingmost of the attention sofar.” Cummins contin-ued, “Stalk borers aremoving from grassyareas into nearby corn.No major BlackCutworm outbreakshave been identified.”
Beginning the firstpart of July, ISU will bemonitoring for WesternBean Cutworm and willcontinue observation of
corn rootworms (CRW)as the transition takesplace in late June fromdamaging, root-eatinglarvae to flying adults.
Cummins elaborated,“ISU is monitoring CRWflights along north/southtransects – Highways 14,63, and 150 – to deter-mine if extended dia-pause (second yearhatchlings) or theWestern CRW variantfrom Illinois are causingproblems in first yearcorn following soybeans.”
Joel DeJong, ISUExtension agronomyfield specialist based inLe Mars, covers Lyon,Osceola, Sioux, O’Brien,Plymouth, Cherokee,and Woodbury Counties.He reported that earlycrop growth was slowsince the northwest Iowaarea for which he pro-vides service was cooland very dry.
“We had more anhy-drous burns in cornfieldsthan I have seen for along time,” DeJong stat-ed in an e-mail inter-view. As the weatherwarmed and rainfallcame, plants startedgrowing rapidly.
“Most fields look verygood right now, exceptfor some locations south
of Sioux City where soilsare higher in clay, andrainfall has made it toowet,” DeJong continued.
While acknowledgingthat the recent spate ofwet weather has made itdifficult to find adequatetime for herbicide appli-cation, DeJong said, “Ithink more producersshould have been moreaggressive earlier withweed management…thefields that did not have apre-emergent herbicideapplied have probablylost yield due to weedcompetition.”
In northwest Iowa,DeJong reported fieldscouts are finding a littleblack cutworm damageand some soybeanaphids.
As for the aphids,“Almost all are at verylow levels. But, I wouldencourage people to startscouting for this insect,”he said.
DeJong also remindedproducers that it isalmost time to assessdamage from rootwormlarvae.
Unlike many areas inIowa in 2008, the north-west was fairly dry.
“Maturity is a littleahead of this time lastyear, but in the north-west corner I think we

are now wetter thanlast year,” DeJong com-mented. “Our key toreally good yields incorn last year wereprobably more due tothe cooler than average
weather after pollina-tion – so we will seewhat this year brings.Hot weather then wouldnot be a plus, and wouldmake it difficult to reachthose good yields we sawin 2008 for corn.”
DeJong provided thefollowing informationabout an educational
opportunity in the area:Iowa is hosting theUpper Midwest ManureExpo on July 22 nearBoone, with more infor-mation available atwww.abe.iastate.edu/wastemgmt.
Mark Wuebker is theISU Extension fieldagronomist stationed in
Altoona that servesDallas, Polk, Jasper,Poweshiek, Madison,Warren, and MarionCounties.
He described thisyear’s weather as a“roller coaster.”
“We were short onheat units in May, thencaught up in the lastweek to near normal,”Wuebker said. “Then,the exact same thinghappens again in Junewhen we got very highheat and humidity. The
positive side was thatwith all the moisture,the very high unitsweren’t wasted and thecrops are now at nearnormal development.”
Looking at long-termmanagement strategies,Wuebker suggested, “Aswe appear to be in a wet-ter than normal pattern,growers may evaluatetheir weed control pro-gram to include pre-emergence herbicides inboth corn and soy-beans.”
This year’s delays inpost-emergence applica-tion may cause compro-mised yields.
“Weed competitionearly in the season canrob top end yield poten-tial,” Wuebkerexplained.
Scouting for pests hasbeen continuous in cen-tral Iowa.
Wuebker noted that“the cool temperaturesthat delayed crop devel-opment also slowedinsect development, andin the case of black cut-worm, allowed them tofeed longer.”
He also commented onthe variability of condi-tions across the stateand pointed out that inthe southeaster twothirds, delayed plantingand replanting is com-mon.
Producers in Ida, Sac,Calhoun, Monona,Crawford, Carroll, andGreene Counties mayutilize the expertise ofISU Extension FieldAgronomist Mark Licht.
This particular areahas experienced almostideal circumstances sofar in 2009: “WestCentral Iowa had perfectplanting conditions, hasavoided severe weather;and, outside two coolweeks in June, has hadnear perfect tempera-ture and rainfall,” Lichtreported. “I don’t knowwhat ‘normal’ or ‘aver-age’ is, but I have tothink that this year isnot normal; rather, bet-ter than normal.

HUMIDContinued from page 13
A regional USDA hear-ing on the NationalAnimal IdentificationSystem took place June30 as efforts continued totrace the movement ofcattle into and out of thetuberculosis-affectedherd in Rock County,Nebraska.
A proposal under con-sideration by the U.S.Department ofAgriculture to identifyand tag livestock isdesigned to assist offi-cials in tracking herdsduring an outbreak. However, producers complainthat the program would be one more cost that willcut into meager profits.
The USDA conducted a listening session in LaVista, Nebraska, to hear opinions of industry stake-holders, one of more than a dozen hearings on theNational Animal Identification System (NAIS),originally introduced in 2004. The agenda includedan explanation of the current identification process,a period for comments and breakout sessions to dis-cuss ideas to improve the system.
In a videotaped introduction to the session,Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack said such asystem is necessary to trace infected animals andlocate other animals that might have been exposedto illness. He said it’s also needed to reassure con-sumers and U.S. trading partners about the safetyof U.S. food.
“It protects our livestock markets and the liveli-hood of producers,” Vilsack commented. “It allowsus to market our livestock as the highest qualityand best in the world.”
The Nebraska Department of Agriculture
announced in June thattwo cows from a RockCounty beef herd hadtested positive for bovinetuberculosis (TB). Theherd remains under quar-antine. As of June 29, anadditional 42 herds hadbeen quarantined andnearly 5,000 animalstested for TB, though noadditional animals havetested positive for the dis-ease.
Greg Ibach, Nebraskaagriculture director, saidcontinuing efforts are
being made to locate any cattle that may have beenpastured next to the affect herd during the past twoyears.
Locating all cattle that have had possible expo-sure to the TB-affected herd through the fence linesis critical because bovine TB is primarily transmit-ted through nose to nose contact, Ibach said.
Many states have systems in place to track infor-mation to locate at-risk animals and premises dur-ing a disease outbreak, but they are not intercon-nected nationally, nor are they collecting consistentinformation.
In Iowa and Nebraska, much like the rest of theUnited States, compliance with the NAIS is volun-tary.
But, that voluntary compliance is one of severalissues currently being discussed as part of a nation-wide conversation about animal identification andfood safety.
Dan Muhlbauer is a crop farmer, swine producer,and custom cattle feeder from Manilla, who raisesnearly 3,000 head of cattle each year.
“What it comes down to is that it’s going to cost
more money,” Muhlbauer said. Ultimately, Muhlbauer continued, the cost of
implementing such a system would very likely getpassed on to consumers.
Livestock producers also question whether such asystem is truly necessary.
Muhlbauer remarked that many, if not most, pro-ducers already keep records and can document fromwhere their animals are purchased, and to whomthey are sold. He argued that this makes traceabil-ity possible without any additional system.
Dwindling support for the NAIS has oneNebraska livestock organization calling on statelivestock producers to reject the idea of making theprogram mandatory.

Bovine Tuberculosis identified in Nebraska cattle herdBovine tuberculosis is a chronic bacterial disease
In the earliest stages, the symptoms are not visible. Late-stage visible symptoms include: emaciation, lethargy, weakness,anorexia, low-grade fever and pneumonia with a chronic, moist cough.The U.S. Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service tests more than 1million animals a year for TB and conducts a nationwide surveillance
program in slaughterhouses43 Nebraska cattle herds have been quarantined as part of the ongo-
ing epidemiological investigation (June 29). Two cows have tested positive for the disease of 1,700 confirmedtests. Results anticipated in an additional 3,000 tests (June 29).
The Nebraska Department of Agriculture will on Mondays update testresult information, counties with herd quarantines and other relevant
TB information on its web site at www.agr.ne.gov, under the bovine TBbutton on the right side of the home page.

Craig Daniel was a winner atthe Iowa Speedway in Newtoneven before the Iowa Corn Indy250 got under way on June 21.
Daniel was the first to try hiskey and was surprised when itopened the door of the 2009flex-fuel (FFV) ChevySilverado.
The drawing, conductedbefore nearly 40,000 spectatorsjust before the race began wasthe high point of the Iowa CornFed campaign, a six-monthIowa corn growers’ program toshowcase the many ways cornbenefits Iowa and Iowans.
Ethanol use was just one ben-efit featured in the program,which included food and feeduses for corn and messagesabout corn’s importance toIowa’s economy, environment
and energy independence.“We’ve reached thousands of
people with the Iowa Corn Fedcampaign,” said ShannonTextor, director of marketdevelopment for the Iowa CornPromotion Board (ICPB) andthe Iowa Corn GrowersAssociation (ICGA).
In addition to ethanol, weeklywinners took home corn-fedbeef, pork and other groceries,Textor said.
“The Chevy Silverado was thegrand prize and giving it awayat a venue focus on the power ofethanol, like the Iowa CornIndy 250 makes sense,” she con-cluded.
Ten randomly selected final-ists from more than 11,000entries received free tickets tothe Iowa Corn Indy 250 to par-
ticipate in the giveaway.In addition to Craig Daniel
from Glidden, the other final-ists included: MargaretBackhaus, Westside; KevinGribben, Mason City; NickHorstman, Britt; RoseKreiman, Bloomfield; DarrellJensen, Audubon; JulieZittergruen, Guttenberg;Allison Pendroy, Urbandale;Roger Hoffman, Cedar Rapids;and Kent Reinking, Oelwein.

USDA meetsPresident’s 30-daybiofuels directive tohelp meet country’senergy needs
Responding to President Obama’s directive toexpedite and increase the production of biofuels,Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack in Juneannounced that USDA met its 30-day deadline tohelp produce more energy from homegrown,renewable sources.
“Further developing the biofuels industry helpscreate jobs and stimulates rural economies, animportant part of getting our economy back ontrack,” said Vilsack. “President Obama and I arecommitted to advancing clean and renewable ener-gy as it creates jobs domestically and boosts taxrevenues at all levels of government.”
On May 5, President Obama asked USDA toexpedite the biofuels provisions of the energy titleof the 2008 Farm Bill within 30 days, including thefollowing:
Providing loan guaran-tees and grants for biore-fineries
Expediting funding toencourage biorefineriesto replace the use of fos-sil fuels in plant opera-tions
Expediting funding toencourage production ofnext-generation biofuels
Expanding the Rural Energy for AmericaProgram
Providing guidance and support for collection,harvest, storage, and transportation in biomassconversion facilities
Details about USDA’s recent efforts to supportthe biofuels industry are:
Loan Guarantees for Biorefineries. USDA is cur-rently reviewing a $25 million loan guaranteeapplication to retrofit a biodiesel refinery to pro-duce second-generation biofuels. The funding ofthis venture will be the second such guarantee tobe funded under the 2008 Farm Bill. In January,USDA awarded an $80 million loan guarantee forthe production of cellulosic ethanol.
A second round of applications received as partof an April 30, 2009, solicitation for applications iscurrently under review. These involve second- andthird-generation biofuel technologies to producecellulosic ethanol, biodiesel, and methane gas andelectricity. Awards for the second round are pro-jected for September 15, 2009.
Assistance for Biorefineries Replacing FossilFuels. USDA will provide up to $20 million to offerfinancial assistance to biorefineries to replace fos-sil fuels used to produce heat or operate biore-fineries with renewable biomass.
Encourage Production of Next-GenerationBiofuels. USDA will provide $30 million to providepayments to eligible agricultural producers to sup-port and ensure an expanding production ofadvanced biofuels.
Rural Energy for America Program. USDA isnow accepting applications for feasibility studies,loan guarantees, and grants for renewable energysystems and energy efficiency improvements aswell as for applications to conduct energy audits onbehalf of agriculture producers and rural smallbusinesses.
Funds will be used to assist agricultural produc-ers and rural small businesses by conducting ener-gy audits and providing recommendations andinformation on renewable energy developmentassistance and improving energy efficiency. Theseprojects - energy audits and renewable energy sys-tems development/energy efficiency improvementsassistance - are designed to help agricultural pro-ducers and rural small businesses reduce energycosts and consumption and help meet the nation’scritical energy needs. For more information on thisprogram and application deadlines, please visitwww.rurdev.usda.gov.
Biomass Crop Assistance Program. USDA islaunching a program that will provide compensa-tion for the collection, harvest, storage, and trans-portation of biomass intended to meet the coun-try’s energy needs in a more sustainable manner.
The program will provide financial assistance fordelivery of eligible biomass material to conversionfacilities that use biomass for heat, power, bio-based products or biofuels. USDA, through theFarm Service Agency, will provide matching pay-ments for collecting, harvesting, storing and trans-porting eligible materials at a rate of one dollar foreach dollar per dry ton paid by a qualified biomassconversion facility for the biomass.

HOGS 7/9/09Lean hog trade has been lower this week due to profit taking by
market longs. After three days of trade, the weekly net change is
105 lower on the July contract and August is down 12.
Cash trade is expected to remain steady, but reports of a low
Saturday kill plan could keep cash price on the defensive.
We should see mixed trade near-term due to some bear spread-
ing from the Goldman Roll.
There are rumors out of Canada that the government will contin-
ue to take more sows out of production; this round of liquidation is
rumored to be more aggressive than previous attempts.
Russia did announce early this week that it had lifted its ban on
pork products from select states, so we could see some demand
come back to this market.
On the August chart, the market ran into resistance just below
the 40-day at 6325; nearby support is down at the 10-day at 6017
and then the 20-day at 6000.

WHEAT 7/9/09Wheat trade is lower on the week due to outside market pres-
sure and chart selling. After three days of trade, the weekly net
changes on the September contracts are 12 lower in Chicago, and
KC and Minneapolis are down 18.
Most of the length has been pulled out of this market over the
last few weeks with the funds moving to a net short position.
This opens the door for a short covering bounce, but many
traders are only looking for a dead cat bounce without fresh sup-
portive news. Expectations are to see higher ending stocks on
Friday's USDA Supply and Demand report which should limit upside
near-term.
The wheat carryover estimate is 693 million bushels with a
range of 589 to 776. The all wheat production estimate is at 2.1
billion bushels, the range is 2.07 to 2.17.
The spring wheat average trade guess is 505 million bushels
with a range of 468 to 546. We are hearing more concerns over
quality issues regarding vomitoxin and low protein content, but the
Quarterly Stocks and Acreage Report last week was a reminder
that supplies are ample and we will need a significant weather
scare to justify a sustained rally.
On the Chicago chart, the trend is bearish; the next downside
target is $4.55 which was the nearby Chicago low in December.
This market is overdue for a bounce, but we will need to see out-
side markets rebound first. On the weekly progress report, winter
wheat harvest was listed as 56% complete versus 52% a year ago
and the 59% 5-year average.
Percent Headed for spring wheat came in at 30% compared to
54% a year ago and the 65% 5-year average.
The crop condition report listed spring wheat as 72% good to
excellent versus 76% a week ago. Winter wheat was listed as 47%
good to excellent up 2% from last week.
The weekly export sales number was at 584,200 tons which was
just above expectations.
The export sales have been so slow in 2009 that we should
expect an increase with many world buyers hand to mouth right
now and they may look to extend coverage with the lower prices.
Hedgers call with questions.

CATTLE 7/9/09Live cattle trade has been lower this
week due to profit taking and outside mar-
ket pressure.
The lower stock market and weak overall
movement in commodities has also been
noted for the weakness.
Heading into Thursday, the weekly net
changes are 152 lower on August and
October is down 190. September feeders
are 27 lower on the week. Cash trade has
been slow to develop this week with asking
prices firm at $85/$135.
There is some cash optimism around, but
with the choice cutout under $140 I believe
cash trade will have a ceiling in the $83-
$84 area.
Packers have slowed chain speed in an
attempt to fight poor processing margins,
but this will create the potential for larger
showlists.
The cutout finished higher on Wednesday
with choice up 45 at $138.45 and select
was up 10 at $132.63.
The weather is also something we need
to keep an eye on; prolonged heat could
spark a small short covering bounce.
But for this week the forecasts have less-
ened the expected heat as we have moved
through the week.
Hedgers call with questions, we had an
opportunity with the rally last week into
Monday to get some protection in place in
the upper part of our monthly range.

and bearishness due to the larger acreage number. After three days
of trade, the weekly net change is 20 lower on the September con-
tract and December is down 23. The outside markets influence has
been negative this week; crude is nearly $7 lower and $13 from the
late June high, the dollar is 50 higher and the DOW is 150 lower for
the week.
Weather has remained mostly benign, which has left the market
looking for improving crop conditions and, in the big picture,
expecting an above trendline yield.
The market has seen continued liquidation this week following
the USDA’s Quarterly Stocks and planting report last week; specu-
lative longs have taken a beating with corn now around $1.40
below the June highs.
Due to the sharp increase in corn acreage, the market is now
expecting higher carryover numbers on the July USDA Supply and
Demand report that will be released this Friday.
The average trade guess for the old crop carryover is 1.69 billion
with a range of 1.6 to 1.85; the new crop average trade guess is
1.57 billion with a range between 1.3 and 1.8 billion. The charts
continue to look poor following last weeks report; the trade is below
all major moving averages and we printed a new low for the year
on Wednesday.
Granted we are oversold so a quick 20 to 30 cent bounce could
be seen. The trade should see demand items pick up with the
recent move lower. Ethanol margins this past week moved to the
best in a year and the meal/corn spread is historically wide which
should provide cattle feeders and incentive to blend more corn into
rations plus this increases the value of the DDGs. It will be impor-
tant for crude to find support near-term, or we risk ethanol margins
slipping again.
On the weekly crop progress report, percent silking was listed at
8% complete versus 5% a year ago and the 16% 5-year average.
Crop condition was reported at 71% good to excellent down 1%
from a week ago.
The weekly export sales came in at 749,200 tons of old crop and
415,400 tons of new crop, combined they were above expecta-
tions. I do look for exports to stay firm well into 2010 which should
help curb downside pressure.
Hedgers call with questions.
SOYBEANS 7/9/09Soybean trade is sharply lower on the week due to fund long liq-
uidation and outside market pressure. Heading into Thursday, the
weekly net changes are $1.18 lower on the September contract
and November is down $1.14; December meal is $33.40 lower and
soybean oil is down 311 points. The CFTC announced on Monday
that they will start to limit some speculative interest in the com-
modities markets to a greater extent than our current limits, which
was noted as a catalyst that helped sparked the long liquidation
this week.
The unwinding of recent bull spreads along with talk that China
would release some of their government bean inventories was also
noted for the weakness. The July/November spread narrowed to
$1.92 on Wednesday versus $2.37 a week ago. The market lost the
upward momentum following the USDA Quarterly stocks and
Planted Acreage report last week and the market seems to be pric-
ing-in a bearish Supply and Demand report on Friday. The carry-
over estimates heading into the report on Friday are 107 million
bushels for old crop and 229 for new, the new crop has a wide
range, 115 to 380 million.
The balance sheets are still going to be tight due to the lower
than expected 2009 soybean acres and late plantings on the last
part of the crop, so there should be some buying interest at these
levels. It’s likely the outside markets will need to stay firm or move
to higher levels to justify higher trade. The weekly crop ratings
improved by 1% up to 68% good to excellent. On the weekly crop
progress report, soybean emergence was listed as 66% complete
versus 94% a year ago and a 98% 5-year average. Percent bloom-
ing was listed as 14% complete compared to 12% a year ago and
the 24% 5-year average.
The crop condition was listed as 66% good to excellent com-
pared to 68% last week. The weekly soybean export sales came in
at 287,000 tons of old crop and new crop sales were 941,600
which were above expectations. Meal sales were reported at
18,400 tons of old crop and new crop exports were 12,500 tons
which were below expectations. Soybean oil sales showed net can-
cellation of 60,200 tons of old crop and new crop sales were above
expectations at 98,000 tons.
Look for outside markets to continue to dictate trade. We are still
a month away from the soybean peak moisture needs. Hedgers call
to discuss your individual risk plan.

Eight gardensin eight days
by Cindy Haynes,Extension Horticulturalist,
Iowa State UniversityThe Home Demonstration Gardens prepared by
Iowa State University will soon be ready for dis-play and open to the public for another year.
Vegetable gardening is increasingly popular intoday’s economy, especially since there is thepotential to save money by growing food at home.Yet, accurate and reliable, locally useful, informa-tion about what to grow and which vegetablesprovide the most “bang for the buck” is challeng-ing to find.
Therefore, one of the themes for the 2009 IowaState University Extension Home DemonstrationGarden is growing vegetables that can stretchyour dollar. We also will have some fun withpumpkins and a display of new and unusual flow-ers.
Storing and preserving vegetablesOne of the easiest ways to save money with a
vegetable garden is to grow vegetables that storeor preserve easily. Easily stored vegetablesinclude potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions and win-ter squash.
Some new and some traditional cultivars ofthese plants will be on display. The cultivarsselected are noted for their ability to persist forlong periods in proper environmental conditions.
Tomatoes, cucumbers, beets and beans can bepreserved through canning or freezing. Severalcultivars of these plants with good canning orfreezing potential are being grown at the HomeDemonstration Gardens to showcase the possibili-ties.
Ghostly pumpkinsWho doesn’t enjoy a good pumpkin patch?
While it will be a bit early to pick the perfectpumpkin for Halloween, this patch may give youa few ghostly ideas for next year’s garden. TheHome Demonstration Gardens are growing fivecultivars of white pumpkins this year. The culti-vars vary greatly in size and shape, so there issure to be at least one that will pique your inter-est.
Other odditiesIf you have ever been to a Home Demonstration
Garden Field Day before, you know that the dis-play never stops with just vegetables…and thisyear is no different. There are several new andunusual flowers and annual grasses on displaythis year; and with names like ‘Bunny Tails’ and‘Live Wire’ the annual grasses are sure to attractsome attention.
Other unusual flowers include angelonia,osteospermum, and one called joey. Visit the gar-den to check out these plants and some of thenew cultivars of rudbeckias, marigolds, zinnias,and many others.
Field daysWith eight locations around the state, there is
an Iowa State University Extension HomeDemonstration Garden near you.
So join us for a couple hours in the garden – itwill be worth it.

PAGE 22 JULY 2009IOWA FARM & RANCH
On Tuesday, June 30, the USDA released thefinial planted acreage report for corn, soybeansand wheat as well as the quarterly grain stocksreport. The report was a shocker for corn famersand analysts as the USDA increased seeded cornacreage, while most of the industry believed that awet spring would not only delay plantings butprompt some corn farmers to shift acres from cornto soybeans.
The USDA forecast corn planted area for all pur-poses in 2009 at 87.0 million acres, up 1 percentfrom last year but 7 percent below 2007. This isthe second largest planted acreage since 1946,behind only 2007. This figure was well above theaverage trade guess of 84.158 million.
This figure is also 1.053 million more than a yearago and 2.049 acres more than the March USDAestimate of 84.986 million. Planting proceededbehind the normal pace, similar to last year, as fre-quent spring precipitation and cold temperaturesslowed early season fieldwork and planting activi-ties in the central and eastern Corn Belt, OhioValley, and northern Great Plains. On May 10,corn planting was 48 percent complete, down 23points from the 5-year average. In late May, how-ever, dryer conditions allowed farmers to makerapid progress. Farmers reported that 97 percentof the intended corn acreage had been planted atthe time of the survey interview compared withthe 10-year average of 98 percent.
Quarterly grain stocks for corn were estimated4.266 million, larger than the estimated 4.190 bil-lion bushels. This is 238 mb higher than last year’sstocks at this time of 4.028 bb.
The USDA estimated soybean planted area for2009 at a record high 77.5 million acres, up 2 per-cent from last year. This figure is 638,000 smallerthan the average trade guess of 78.305 million.This is an increase of 1.765 million acres from lastyear when U.S. farmers seeded 75.718 millionacres. Area for harvest, at 76.5 million acres, is up3 percent from 2008, and will be the largest har-vested area on record, if realized.
Compared with last year, planted acreageincreased by 200,000 acres or more in Kansas,Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, and SouthDakota. The largest decrease is in Nebraska, down400,000 acres from 2008, as many farmersswitched to corn this year.
Quarterly grain stocks for soybeans are forecastat 597 mb, slightly larger than the guess of 586mb. This is lower than last year’s stocks of 676 mb.
Finally, the USDA estimated all wheat plantedarea at 59.8 million acres, down 5 percent from2008. The 2009 winter wheat planted area, at 43.4million acres, is 6 percent below last year but up 1percent from the previous estimate. Of this total,about 31.4 million acres are Hard Red Winter, 8.4million acres are Soft Red Winter, and 3.6 millionacres are White Winter.
Area planted to other spring wheat for 2009 isestimated at 13.8 million acres, down 3 percentfrom 2008. Of this total, about 13.1 million acresare Hard Red Spring wheat. Durum planted areafor 2009 is estimated at 2.56 million Spring acres,down 6 percent from the previous year. Wheatacres were forecast at 13.77 mb, well above theaverage trade guess of 13.102 million acres. Lastyear’s seeded acres were 14.135 million acres. Allwheat acres were pegged at 59.775 million, abovethe average trade guess of 58.337 million. Lastyear, U.S. farmers seeded 63.147 million acres.
Quarterly wheat stocks pegged at 667 millionbushels, inline with estimates of 670 millionbushels. This is a large increase compared to lastyear’s 306 mb.
With the report’s release, the market focus will
now be solely on weather during the pollinationand pod setting timeframe. With the largest soy-bean acreage and second largest corn acreage onrecord, a major weather problem will be needed topush values to higher. Be prepared to sell ralliesand raise protection levels on weather related rallyattempts.
CORNANALYSIS
Corn closed the week $.38 1/2 lower. The weeklyexport sales report showed net sales of 155,100 MTwere up 68 percent from the previous week and 67percent from the prior 4-week average. Increasesreported for Japan (369,600 MT, including 71,700MT switched from unknown destinations anddecreases of 5,900 MT), South Korea (279,800 MT,including 117,900 MT switched from unknowndestinations), Egypt (240,000 MT, including60,000 MT switched from Syria), Taiwan (127,900MT, including 58,000 MT switched from Japanand 57,900 MT switched from unknown destina-tions), Mexico (88,700 MT), Canada (36,400 MT).
For the marketing year, the U.S. has now export-ed 1.741 bb of corn compared to 2.363 bb last year.To reach the USDA forecast, the U.S. needs toexport 1.1 mb each week to reach the USDA fore-cast of 1.750 bb. As of June 28, the 2009 crop wasrated at 72% g/e vs. 61% a year ago. Iowa wasrated 81% g/e, Minnesota was rated 82% g/e withNebraska rated 82% g/e. Illinois was rated 58% g/eand Indiana was rated 62% g/e. Seasonal highs arein for the corn market and the uptrend line on theweekly charts have been broken.
STRATEGY & OUTLOOKProducers should have sold all their 2008 crop.
Producers should have managed their risk by plac-ing new crop hedges as December has reached theinitial upside target of $4.25 to $4.50 range. A com-bination of cash sales, hedges and put options areeffective risk management tools. If the new cropDecember contract falls to $3.25, roll the putoptions to an at the money strike price.
SOYBEANSANALYSIS
Soybeans closed the week $.47 lower. The week-ly export sales report showed net sales of 193,500MT were up noticeably from the previous week andfrom the prior 4-week average. Increases reportedfor China (68,600 MT, including 58,000 MTswitched from unknown destinations), Japan(67,100 MT, including 27,000 MT switched fromunknown destinations), Taiwan (58,700 MT),Mexico (43,600 MT), and Canada (29,100 MT),were partially offset by decreases for unknowndestinations (85,000 MT) and Syria (10,300 MT).Net sales of 250,100 MT for 2009/10 delivery werefor unknown destinations (125,000 MT), China(120,000 MT), Guatemala (4,100 MT), andBarbados (1,000 MT).
For the marketing year, the U.S. has now export-ed 1.251 bb of soybeans compared to 1.126 bb lastyear. The U.S. now has to export an average of 0.1mb each week to meet the USDA forecast of 1.250bb. Planting progress is now reaching completion,except for areas in the eastern belt that will dou-ble crop soybeans after harvesting winter wheat.The USDA rated the soybean crop, as of June 28,at 68% g/e, 10% higher than last year’s crop. Iowais rated 78% g/e, Minnesota is rated 74% g/e,Illinois is rated 55% g/e while Indiana is 63% g/e.
Seasonal highs form this week and commercialsare noted as holding a bearish net short position.
STRATEGY & OUTLOOKProducers should have sold all of their 2008 crop.
Producers should now be hedged in new crop soy-beans as November soybeans have reached thelong held target to begin a hedging program.
A combination of cash sales, hedges and putoptions are all viable marketing strategies toreduce price risk. If the new crop November con-tract can rally to $11.50 to $11.75, producersshould look to raise protection levels by rolling theput options to a higher strike price.
WHEATANALYSIS
For the week, Chicago wheat closed $.05 1/4lower; Kansas City wheat $.25 1/4 lower andMinneapolis wheat $.44 3/4 lower. The weeklyexport sales report showed net sales of 241,900metric tons were down 34 percent from the previ-ous week. Increases were reported for Mexico(56,500 MT), Nigeria (41,000 MT), the Philippines(32,500 MT), Ecuador (32,000 MT, including20,000 MT switched from Colombia and 10,000 MTswitched from unknown destinations), Israel(29,000 MT), Italy (19,000 MT, switched fromunknown destinations), and Canada (15,800 MT).Decreases were reported for Colombia (16,100MT). At the start of a new marketing year, wheatsales are well behind last year’s pace, which waspoor also. Commitments stand at 160 mb this yearvs. 340 mb a year ago.

Market Solutions Hedge ProgramMarket Solutions Hedge Program can be used for any size farm no matter how big or small
you are. Our plans are to manage risk and take advantage of better than average prices throughthe course of a production year. Think about this. If the fundamentals tell us $2.25 cash wouldbe a good sale on 400 acres wouldn’t it make sense to sell this same percentage if you farmed2000 acres? How many times have you planned your crop, produced it, and then did little if
any marketing? The future tells us that with rising input cost and a possible reduction in bene-fits being put into the 2007 Farm Bill, a Market Plan will become very valuable. Our focus is
not the size of farm but to understand the fundamentals behind the markets and then make recommendations which will work for both sides. Call us today at 806-203-9655 to receive

JUNE 2009 IOWA FARM & RANCH PAGE 27
The U.S. needs to export 15.1 mb each week toreach the USDA forecast of 900 mb. As of June 21,the USDA rated the spring wheat crop at 76% g/evs. 74% last year. The USDA estimated harvest at40% completed by June 28. Texas is 70% complet-ed with Oklahoma 89% finished. Kansas is thelargest winter wheat producing state and theyhave now harvested 47% of their winter wheatcrop Seasonally, a low is formed in July as demandfor newly harvested wheat should lift prices. Lookfor harvest lows to form once harvest reaches the50% stage.
STRATEGY & OUTLOOKProducers should have now sold/hedged all of
their 2009 crop as KC wheat has reached the long
term price objective of $6.80 to $7.00. A combina-tion of hedges, options and cash sales is a veryeffective way to manage price risk for producers.Producers can take a shot at re-owning sold wheaton a test of key support of $5.08 Chicago.
LIVE CATTLEANALYSIS
Live cattle ended the week $2.27 higher whilefeeder cattle ended $4.47 higher. The cash cattletrade occurred in the southern Plains last week at$83 per cwt, $1 higher compared to last week’strades of $82. Nebraska fed cattle traded at $132,$2 higher compared to the previous week’s cashtrade of $130. The higher cash trade was support-ed by an early week rally in the futures. Cash feed-ers at the closely watched Oklahoma City auctionwere steady to $2 higher compared to last week.July’s unemployment report was particularly bear-ish for cattle futures, because it may indicate con-sumers will continue avoiding restaurants, whichare key markets for beef. Beef demand is a keycomponent for cattle futures and the beef industry.Rallies are meant to be sold as the demand baseremains poor.
STRATEGY & OUTLOOKProducers should have price protection through
a combination of options and hedges from the sum-mer months through the fourth quarter of 2009.Demand remains soft, so continue to hedge cattleas they are purchased. Feed costs should also becovered with call options or done on a hand tomouth basis until lows are established this fall.
LEAN HOGSANALYSIS
Lean hogs closed the week $4.45 higher. Theaverage Iowa-Minnesota hog weight for last weekwas estimated at 265.1 lbs versus 268.7 lbs previ-ous week and 261.7 lbs last year. Hog weights arestarting to turn lower, as seasonally, the heat ofsummer, normally trims weight gain from hog andassists in keeping their weight down. The USDAestimated total hogs imported from Canada at
1,827,514 head and 1,003,378 feeder pigs. Cashhog prices are hovering in the low $40’s. Weeklyfutures charts have found support at the $57.00area. This equates to $42 cash hogs. So until thecash hog market turns lower, look for hog futuresto remain in a sideways trading pattern with sup-port at the $57 area and resistance near $62.
STRATEGY & OUTLOOKProducers should continue to hedge hogs as they
are purchased. Feed input costs should be coveredon a hand to mouth basis, until producers haveestablished a minimum price level for hogs. Oncethat has been achieved, lock in feed costs as well.

AUCTIONSDave Wright, president of the Independent
Cattlemen of Nebraska, urged ranchers and farm-ers from across the state to attend the NebraskaNAIS meeting.
Wright said that after five years of voluntary com-pliance, support for NAIS is very low.
Wright added that if the current voluntary sys-tem becomes mandatory, the program would failbecause the cost of the electronic equipment neededfor the tracking system would be “detrimental tothe small producer especially in recent years whenprofit margins have been almost non-existent.”
Attendance at the listening sessions has rangedin number from about 30 people at a Californiameeting to more than 400 at a South Dakota meet-ing. Approximately 50 people attended the La Vistalistening session.
During the meeting Bassett, Nebraska rancher JoStec commented, “It’s (NAIS) not going to controldisease. It’s just another way of keeping track ofproducers.”
Other producers, however, have spoken out infavor of a national system for animal identification.
Mike Welch of Denison, is the owner and operatorof a 60 head cow/calf and finishing operation. Hesaid he likes the idea of an NAIS.
“I’m in favor of it, because if there’s any kind ofdisease outbreak then you can trace it back to thesource,” asserted Welch.
According to Welch, the NAIS would also makeage and source verification readily available, anattribute of the program that could aid in sellingmeat products in overseas markets.
Feedlot Manager Josh Benton for the Universityof Nebraska Agricultural Research andDevelopment Center in Mead, Nebraska also said,“The tracking system, I think it’s something that’sneeded, but I think people are scared of it.”
Nebraska Farmers Union President John Hansenagreed and said USDA missteps have heightenedfarmers’ mistrust of the program. Though, he con-tinued, his organization supports the concept ofnational animal identification.
Among the issues that Benton saw as being fore-most in producer’s minds are how the informationwould be used and how it would be stored. He saidmany producers have expressed to him the concernthat the information could have a negative impacton them should there be a problem with an animalthat was housed on their premises.
“The big question is who’s going to manage thattracking system,” he said. “It depends on what theydecide to utilize that information for.”
Confirming Benton’s speculation were producersat the La Vista listening session such as KrisHarvey, a South Dakota rancher who lives justacross the border from Valentine, Nebraska, whosaid of the proposed ID program: “This will be theend of independent livestock production.”
News of the recent bovine tuberculosis outbreakin Nebraska may have changed the complexion ofthe conversation in Omaha, but Tom Shipley, direc-tor of issues management and policy implementa-tion for the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association, predictedit would have been a lively debate anyway. He saidthe association supports NAIS and a national ani-mal identification standard, if participationremains voluntary.
“Certainly in a disease situation, having animalsalready identified helps us more quickly completeour traceback. We need to find out where animalscame from and what other animals could have beenexposed to the disease,” Dr. David Morris, a staffveterinarian with APHIS, said. “NAIS identifica-tion tags are linked to the location where the ani-mals were first tagged. This provides us with twolocations to trace from – from tagging going forwardand from current location going back – and thathelps speed up the process.”
In Iowa, the focus remains on improving the num-ber of premises registered in the NAIS program.
“Identification of premises is important for notifi-cation of producers if a disease problem would occurin a specific location of our state,” Iowa premisesidentification coordinator Dee Clausen said. “Itwould allow us to be able to contain a disease prob-lem in a timely manner to eradicate the disease andto respond to a disease incursion in as quickly aspossible.”
In the end, voices on both sides of the issue will beable to expressed their opinions at the June 30meeting.
Transcriptions of the listening sessions and addi-tional information about NAIS are available forreview at the NAIS Web site:animalid.aphis.usda.gov/nais/index.shtml.
