Less oil and less toil

Archuleta teaches NRCS employees, farmers how to build healthy soil

by Gordon WolfIn “the Soil Guy’s” view,

crop production is about soil health with the goal to farm in nature’s image. This involves using di-verse cover crop mixes and learning how the soil’s ecosystem works.

Standing in front of a filled room at the Boulders Conference Center in Deni-son on June 4, Natural Re-sources Conservation Ser-vice conservation agrono-mist Ray “the Soil Guy” Archuleta demonstrated how healthy soil, when dropped into a container of water, will maintain its integrity and stay intact, while a sample of the same

type of soil, conventionally farmed a mile away from the no-till sample, will fall apart.

During the demonstra-tion, Archuleta threw out terms such as biotic glue and cementing agents to the NRCS agents and farmers present, teaching them about holistic, regen-erative farming.

The soil sample used in the demonstration came from a farm that had been no-tilled for 40 years, had not been treated with in-organic fertilizer and is treated with only one her-bicide. The land has been no-till drilled since 1971.

Continuing with the

demonstration, Archul-eta commented, “We don’t want the soils to fall apart. We want to see which one holds its integrity. As we drop soil (into the water), the water is going to rush in to fill in. If the soil falls apart, it’s lost its integ-rity. The biotic glue and cementing agents have fallen apart.”

Archuleta continued that Ohio farmer Dave Brandt (who also spoke on June 4) is growing corn at inputs of $1.10 a bushel. Even if the price goes down to $3 per bushel, Brandt is still making money, he com-mented.

“The key indicator of

a healthy soil – show me the cost of your inputs - what are you growing your grain for,” Archuleta stated. “That’s the bottom line. I want you to make money.”

He explained that healthy soils, healthy plants, healthy animals and a healthy watershed are all connected.

Archuleta continued that the moment soil is tilled, the natural system is disturbed.

“What brings the (soil) tilth is the biotic glues, the biotic cementing agent, the organo-mineral com-plexes built by the organ-isms and the plants, the

earthworms, bacteria and fungus. They change the environment around them.

“Without them we would just have sand par-ticles and clay. It would be a dead medium. This is called niche construction. Organisms change envi-ronment,” Archleta stated.

He said that by tilling, farmers wake up bacteria that eats the biotic glues and organic matter in the soil, the copiotrophic bac-teria.

“The moment you put manure on top of the sur-face, they multiply. The moment you till, you feed the house. Tillage is like cancer of the soil,” Archu-

leta stated. “You take a normal metabolic process and you cause it to feed upon itself. They multiply and very quickly eat the glues, and then the soils collapse.”

Archuleta stated learn-ing how to build healthy soil involves understand-ing how to facilitate the collaboration of the natu-ral ecosystems.

He said he began pro-moting soil health and cover crops when he saw farmers going broke and he began to question things, including modern agriculture.

Extension meetings focus on farmland leasing

Farm tenants and land owners are invited to Iowa State University Extension and Outreach farmland leas-ing meetings during July and August.

The three-hour workshops are designed to assist land-owners, tenants and other agri-business professionals with current issues related to farmland ownership, man-agement and leasing agreements.

Those who attend will receive a set of beneficial mate-rials regarding farm leasing arrangements and farmland ownership. Resources on farmland surveys and leasing arrangements also are provided.

Topics covered include:Iowa Cash Rental Rate Survey and Land Values SurveyComparison of different types of leasesLease terminationImpacts of yields and pricesCalculating a fair cash rentUse of spreadsheets to compare leasesIssues unique to this year’s production and an outlook

for 2014.Available Internet resourcesThe leasing meetings being conducted across Iowa

are facilitated by farm management specialists with ISU Extension and Outreach. A listing of county extension offices hosting the meetings is available on the ISU Ex-tension and Outreach calendar. Those interested should check both months for a complete list of meeting dates, locations and links to more information.

Locations will be added as they become available, or contact a county extension office to find the nearest meeting location.

“Knowing the latest information and where to find the best resources will make decisions easier,” said Ann Jo-hanns, program specialist with extension farm manage-ment. “ISU Extension and Ag Decision Maker have very helpful information and decision tools.”

Johanns said the Ag Decision Maker leasing section also provides useful materials for negotiating leases, in-formation on various types of leases, lease forms and newly updated Decision Tools.

Reaching for the sunSoybeans in a field in Sioux County rise above the corn stalk stubble into which they were planted this spring. Accord-

ing to the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service (NASS), for the week ending June 23, 90 percent of the soybean crop in Iowa had been planted, which was up 13 percent from the previous week. Normally 98 percent of the soybean crop would have been planted. The NASS also stated that 75 percent of the soybean crop had emerged, which was still well behind the five-year average of 94 percent. The corn crop in Iowa was 96 percent planted by the end of last week, which marked the first time since 1993 that any corn remained to be planted this late in the year. Ninety-three percent of the corn crop had emerged, whereas normally all corn would be emerged. The week ending June 23 featured warm and mostly dry weather, which allowed farmers to make progress getting crops planted. Statewide there was an average of 4.3 days suitable for fieldwork. The week had the most days suitable for fieldwork in more than a month, and the second most for the year. Photo by Gordon Wolf

Last week, my family and I traveled to Nebraska for a junior national show. Last year’s show was in Ohio, or what I liked to now call the endless drive of horror. So, only having a four-hour drive this year was nice.

Plus, I could let the boys go a day ahead of time, and catch up with them the next day, thus giving me some quiet time in the house.

Both boys were able to show this year, and were able to participate in the various contests that go along with the show. Most people don’t know about all the extra things kids can do at a junior national show.

On Sunday, both boys took the Stockman’s Chal-lenge, a quiz about bovine health and the beef indus-try. They also competed in the poster contest, in which they had to design a poster in 25 minutes.

Our family also helped Team Iowa compete in the cook-off contest. The theme of the show was “How the West was Won” so our skit involved President Grant sending Jim West and Artimus Gordon out west to find some beef that his wife would approve. You

see, those PAC (People Against Cattle) had some-how gotten into her mind and brainwashed her into believing *gasp* that beef is unhealthy for you.

Jim and Artimus travel to Iowa and find a group of kids preparing for the junior national show, and plan-ning their cookoff menu which included BLT sand-wiches, with beef bacon.

We are treated to beef bacon during each county fair. The Cattlemen serve it along with pancakes on the morning of the cattle show.

Who knew that every-one didn’t know about beef bacon?

President Grant ends up learning about the beef in-dustry, and beef bacon, and his wife Julia is delighted to find that he’s having a healthy BLT sandwich.

Both boys competed in showmanship on Monday. Neither were picked for the finals, but I thought they both did a great job.

The speech contest was also Monday, but neither boy participated in that one.

I made the treck home on Monday night so I could bring grandma and grandpa back.

Another fun contest was salesmanship, where the kids try to sell their heifer. That contest was Tuesday, along with the livestock judging. Both boys also participated in the fitting competition with teams on Tuesday. I heard the big kid’s team did a good job. However, the little kid had not been listening to dad and big brother so he had no clue how to fit a calf, and emptied an entire can of something while trying to

fit the poor calf. The event photographers got a pretty good shot of him spraying the black calf with white something. (We have no clue what he was using at that point. Thank goodness they could wash it out!)

I returned on Wednesday in time to see the big kid in the futurity shoot out. He didn’t do well, but was taken out by the calf that was taken out by the one that eventually won it.

Thursday was the main event. The big kid showed first and was third in his class. The little kid got last in his class. But, they both did a great job.

At the banquet that night, awards were passed out.

Our skit ended up win-ning first place for Team Iowa! The big kid earned sixth place for the Stock-man’s Challenge. The little kid placed fifth in the poster contest. Team Iowa won the sweepstakes contest, with the most points with Ne-braska taking second place.

All-in-all it was a fun time.

Next year’s event will be in Kentucky. I wonder if I can talk my husband into letting me fly there.

A unique class of museumby Greg Forbes

The newest attraction in Odebolt has already seen two prominent sides of rural Iowa life. Now, in its new lo-cation, the original Willow Tree School (Richland #1) serves as a reminder of the impact education has had on the state of Iowa.

In 1883, the Willow Tree School opened as a one-room schoolhouse as part of the Iowa Rural Schools Sys-tem. For the next nearly 70 years, boys and girls from the Odebolt area attended classes until the school dis-trict shut its doors in 1951.

The building was used for 4-H meetings and remained in its original location until 1959 when Harold Boney purchased it, moved it to his acreage a half-mile away and converted it into a hog farrowing shed.

Carol Raasch, of Odebolt, and her family eventu-ally purchased the acreage, schoolhouse included, from the Boney family.

“We bought the acreage a while ago and our sons used it for a lambing shed,” Carol said of the schoolhouse.

In 2001 or 2002, the shed was retired from use and showed the scars of more than 40 years of heavy, dirty service.

Standing unused, Carol and her husband, Curtis, knew the building could still serve a purpose.

“When we were starting to talk about the possibility of moving to Odebolt, it was retired and looking pretty good. It was unpainted but the structure was sound,” she explained.

In October of 2011, Carol elected to have the building moved to a vacant tract of land near the Odebolt His-toric Museum.

She explained the mov-ing crew, led by Dale and Don Hoefling, arrived, took the building off its original foundation and sat it in its new location.

Due to its condition, the original floor was left be-hind and the walls, roof, windows and siding were replaced. However, the original studs, chalkboard and framing were kept and restored.

Carol added that Boney kept the chalkboard in-stalled in the converted shed and used it to take notes about his hog operation

With the schoolhouse in a new location with a new paint job and a fresh inte-rior, the image of the build-

ing’s past unseen for 60 years began to re-appear.

For the next year and a half, Carol and the steering committee, which super-vised the restoration of the schoolhouse, saw the old shed transform into a mu-seum to remind people of how education helped settle and shape Iowa.

“These little school dis-tricts were the community center for new residents (immigrants),” Carol stated. “The school districts helped settle and develop the west-ern two thirds of Iowa.”

Sandra Kessler Host and her sisters, whose father was a director of the school board, heard of Carol’s plan to restore the school and joined in the mission to en-sure as many details as pos-sible matched specifically to the old Odebolt school.

In an additional house on the Kessler property, which sat across the street from the school, Sandra and her sisters found relics that had been used in the school such as a kerosene heater, a primer collection, cabinets, desks and various supplies and utensils.

Through other donations from the Odebolt commu-nity, the museum also re-ceived a refurbished coal or wood burning stove, the original Victrola, a piano, a pump organ, clothing from the school’s eras and much more.

One of several vintage cabinets displays toys children typically played with at recess and another shows tools children used for before- and after-school chores. The other cabinets contain era books, maps, gadgets and other equip-ment.

Out front, two school chil-dren, cast in bronze, greet visitors as they walk down to the front door.

Carol explained the ar-rangement of the Iowa Rural Schools Museum differs from the typical restored one room school house.

“People come in here anticipating a classroom but there is so much more there,” she stated and added that the schoolhouse’s new look will provide an aes-thetically pleasing yet infor-mational aspect to a bud-ding heritage district. “We hope they (community) are very proud of it. With the addition to the pioneer home and the historic mu-seum, we hope to make it a heritage block and some-

thing the people can be very proud of.”

She continued that the help she and the steering committee received was an important reminder that the community is not ready to say goodbye to an aspect central to both past and present Iowa life.

The Kesslers’ involve-ment with the building’s relocation and restoration stemmed from their family’s history with the old school-house. Sandra, who now serves as the Iowa Rural Schools Museum curator, became interested in Iowa’s education system after she and her children visited a mission in California.

“Sandra had lived in California and her children learned the missions ba-sically settled California,” Carol said. “Her children visited here and started asking how Iowa was set-tled. When she looked into the building’s history and started collecting things, the information was telling the government set up the Iowa Rural School System.”

Carol continued that San-dra realized that, like the missions were to the begin-ning of California, the rural school system had helped build Iowa from the start.

Now with a new face and loaded with remind-ers of education long be-fore laptops, Smart Boards and iPads, the Iowa Rural Schools Museum proudly sits as a “new” member of the Odebolt community.

When the museum first opened its doors on June 15, more than 200 people arrived.

Some had grandpar-ents who had attended the school, others were inter-ested in the building’s story. Whatever the reason for visiting, guests have gotten

a first-hand look of what a handful of dedicated work-ers and community support can accomplish.

“In the beginning, we had a hard time convincing folks it would look as nice as it

does,” Carol said. “But now that people can come in and see it, they are pretty excited to have it here.”

The Iowa Rural Schools Museum, located on Sec-ond Street in Odebolt, is

open Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Sunday afternoons from 2 to 4 p.m. Interested visitors may also contact Carol at 712-668-4285 to arrange a tour.

Admission is free.

Discipline: Of many dis-plays on the walls at the Iowa Rural Schools Museum in Odebolt, visitors may re-member this one the most. A placard explains how a paddle and ruler were used to correct out-of-line students.

A plexi-glass case displays traditional school marm clothing worn by teachers in the late 1800s.

The chore cabinet in the back of the Iowa Rural Schools Museum displays tools and a chore list children in the early 1900s would use before and after school.

All Iowa and Nebraska House members voted yes but now are at a loss

by Joseph Morton World-herald News Service

Stick a pitchfork in the farm bill.The five-year piece of legislation that gov-

erns billions in food stamps and crop sub-sidies suffered an unexpected, resounding defeat Thursday, June 20, in the House.

It was unusually quiet in the chamber as lawmakers stared at the vote tallies on the wall and watched the number in the “no” column tick higher and higher. Many Demo-crats who felt the bill’s cuts to food stamps - which is the largest part of the bill - went too far cheered the final tally: 195 in favor, 234 against. All but 24 Democrats voted against it. They were joined by 62 Republicans.

“I am shocked by today’s outcome,” Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, R-Neb., said. “We now face an uncertain future for farm policy.”

All seven House members from Iowa and Nebraska - five Republicans and two Demo-crats - voted for the legislation. They vented after the vote and grasped for a way forward.

“I am angry and frustrated at the failure of the House to recognize the importance of a long-term farm bill extension to farmers and rural America,” said Rep. Bruce Braley of Iowa, one of the few Democrats to back the

measure. “Passing a farm bill isn’t optional; it’s a necessity for Iowa agriculture produc-ers who need certainty and predictability so they can invest in the future, create jobs and grow our economy.”

Rep. Lee Terry, R-Neb., took issue with the Democrats’ cheering the bill’s defeat and said now there will be no savings from the cuts to food stamps and other programs.

The bill’s proponents could start over on a new version of the bill or negotiate directly with the Senate, which already approved its version of the bill. But none of the op-tions look particularly promising. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, walked off the floor Thurs-day clutching a printout of all the no votes. Speaking with reporters, he suggested that lawmakers take a little time to catch their breath and possibly revisit the issue next month, after the Fourth of July recess.

He said he would speak to colleagues who opposed the bill and noted what would hap-pen if Congress fails to act this summer - no cuts to the food stamp program and farm policies reverting to the last time a perma-nent farm bill was passed, in 1949.

“This is going to be a bit of stare-down now,” King said.

Putting together a farm bill often involves a lengthy process of balancing regional in-terests and competing philosophies. But this bill has faced an especially difficult road in a Congress that’s as polarized as ever.

On the left, liberal Democrats refused to vote for a farm bill that cuts more than $2 billion a year from food stamps. Mak-ing the bill even harder for them to swallow was one of the last amendments adopted: a Republican proposal adding optional state work requirements. On the right, conserva-tive Republicans either opposed the farm bill altogether or wanted to see even deeper cuts in food stamps. The cost of that program, known as the Supplemental Nutrition As-sistance Program, has doubled since 2008 and now represents about 80 percent of the legislation. Under the bill, the program would have cost about $80 billion a year. In between the two camps: a no-man’s land that doesn’t have enough votes to get the bill through.

King said moving the bill toward either side would cost some of the bill’s existing support, making the legislation’s prospects poor.

“I wouldn’t say it’s impossible, but I’m not particularly optimistic,” King said.

The bill’s defeat also means that amend-ments authored by Nebraska representa-tives won’t become law. The House had adopted a proposal by Terry to prohibit the Environmental Protection Agency from re-leasing personal information on farmers. A Fortenberry amendment would have capped crop subsidy payments at $250,000 a year per farmer.

Rep. Tom Latham, R-Iowa, noted that most Republicans supported the legislation while only a fraction of the Democrats in the House did so.

“However, I have real frustration with the members of both parties - Republican and Democrat - who have blocked progress on this issue, denying us the opportunity to achieve $40 billion in common-sense sav-ings to taxpayers and Iowa farmers the re-spect and certainty they deserve,” he said.

Last year, the House GOP leadership refused to even allow a floor vote on the farm bill written by the House Agriculture Committee. Rep. Adrian Smith, R-Neb., ex-pressed support for the decision not to allow a vote at the time, saying that if the support wasn’t there, a floor defeat would be coun-terproductive.

Smith represents Nebraska’s sprawling and heavily agricultural 3rd Congressional District, which covers most of the state out-side of Omaha and Lincoln.

Still, Smith declined to criticize the leader-ship’s decision to bring this year’s bill up for a vote on Thursday.

He suggested that a healthy, open amend-ment process might have been responsible for the bill’s defeat and said Republicans can’t be afraid of that process.

Smith said the bill’s proponents will con-sider their options.

“I want to think positively.”

The Iowa Renewable Fuels Association (IRFA) will be hosting free work-shops in western Iowa to address pending modi-fications in the fuels shipped to Iowa via the current pipeline system.

These workshops are aimed at assisting fuel re-tailers, suppliers and mar-keters in preparing for the

first major change in the types of fuel available at retail locations since lead was phased out of gaso-line starting in the mid-1970’s.

Magellan’s announce-ment to eliminate regular unleaded gasoline ship-ments to Iowa will require all retailers to evaluate their product offerings.

The workshops will pro-vide details of the new fuel options along with the impact on ethanol blending, future market conditions, and E15 as a new fuel option.

“Iowa’s fuel retailers and distributors are chal-lenged with determining what fuels to offer cus-tomers that make the best

sense for their business,” stated IRFA Managing Director Lucy Norton. “These workshops will help participants prepare for this product change, understand the economic considerations and evalu-ate how renewable fuel blending fits into the new product mix.”

The IRFA will be host-

ing a free workshop in Carroll on Tuesday, July 2, at the Carrollton Inn.

The workshop will be from 10 a.m. to noon with lunch served.

For workshop details and to register, go to: www.IowaRFA.org. Reg-istration deadline is June 28.

The Iowa Renewable

Fuels Association was formed in 2002 to repre-sent the state’s liquid re-newable fuels industry.

The trade group fos-ters the development and growth of the renewable fuels industry in Iowa through education, pro-motion, legislation and infrastructure develop-ment.

“Fields of Champions” highlights farming at Summer Games opening ceremony July 20 event benefits the Iowa Food Bank Association

The third annual “Fields of Champions” Family Cook-out, celebrating food and farming and benefiting the Iowa Food Bank Association (IFBA), will be a highlight of the Summer Iowa Games Opening Ceremony Satur-day, July 20, in Ames. The event is free and open to the public. Donations will benefit the IFBA and support Iowans in need of food assistance.

“Fields of Champions” sponsors include the Iowa Beef Industry Council, Iowa Egg Council, Iowa Pork Producers Association, Iowa Select Farms, Iowa Soybean Associa-tion, Midwest Dairy Association, The Soyfoods Council, United Soybean Board, Hiland Dairy Foods, Swiss Valley Farms and Iowa Food Bank Association.

Iowa farmers will be on hand throughout the celebra-tion to talk about what they do and answer questions about food and farming. Kids of all ages can pick up a ‘Zone Score Card’ that will send them through a series of interactive stations to learn about food and farming. Participants will then take the card to ‘The End Zone’ to register for prizes, including a $1,000 scholarship and an iPad mini.

The action begins at 4:30 p.m. in the parking lots around Jack Trice Stadium on the Iowa State University campus. The meal, featuring beef and pork burgers, soy snacks, eggs on a stick, yogurt, fruit and milk, will serve 2,200 people and is provided for a free-will donation.

In addition to the meal, the “Fields of Champions” celebration features entertainment including inflatable games, face painting, balloon artists and more kid-friendly activities.

The incredible ACRODUNK team, as seen on past sea-sons of America’s Got Talent, will entertain the crowd with gravity-defying flipping, dunking and dancing. YouTube sensations, the Peterson Farm Bros, will per-form their hit “I’m Farming and I Grow It” and be avail-able for photos and autographs.

USDA promotes cover crops in prevented planting fields

USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is encouraging Iowa farmers to explore the ben-efits of planting a cover crop on fields that will go un-planted this year.

“Through this difficult situation, farmers with un-planted fields will have to weigh their program and in-surance options,” says Barb Stewart, state agronomist with NRCS in Iowa. “We encourage producers to also assess agronomic options for ensuring long-term pro-ductivity.”

Stewart says planting a cover crop will help producers with unplanted fields capture applied nutrients, fix nitro-gen, build organic matter, control weeds, reduce erosion, and improve soil health and biology during the remain-der of the season. “Iowa farmers can build considerable

yield potential for following year crops,” she says.Cover crop selection and management should focus

on maximizing both above and below-ground biomass, Stewart says. This allows for nutrient cycling as deep in the soil profile as possible.

Iowa NRCS recently developed a fact sheet for planting cover crops on prevented planting fields. The fact sheet includes a table with diverse cover crop mixes to ad-dress specific natural resource concerns. This fact sheet is available in the “Agronomy” section of the Iowa NRCS website (www.ia.nrcs.usda.gov) or at your local NRCS office.

Producers are advised to check with their crop insur-ance agents on prevented planting requirements and harvest restrictions for cover crops.

ISA offers weed management resource

Herbicide-resistant weeds are becoming more of a problem in Iowa. Plants including waterhemp, horse-weed, giant ragweed and others are threatening the livelihood of farmers statewide, reducing soybean and corn yields and increasing production costs.

The Iowa Soybean Association (ISA) recently launched a weed management action campaign called “Take Ac-tion.” The multi-faceted effort, funded by the Soybean Checkoff, uses radio, video, print and on-line informa-tion to highlight and address the threat of herbicide-resistant weeds and the importance of taking action.

ISA created a clearinghouse of information at www.iasoybeans.com/TakeAction/index.html.

The “Take Action” site features a tour of six Iowa farms, discussing the issue of weed management with farmers around the state, including Tom Oswald who farms near Cleghorn in northwest Iowa.

“It’s not always about a product, but management techniques,” Oswald stated.

Farmers need to adapt management styles to their sys-tems. While weeds in his area of the state are manage-able now, Oswald said, “the issue of weed resistance has my radar turned on high.”

Ed Anderson, ISA senior director of supply and pro-duction systems, commented, “Herbicide resistance isn’t a new phenomenon, by any means. Farmers have dealt with it for more than 50 years, but the problem has in-tensified in the last decade as many weed species have become increasingly less sensitive to glyphosate - the most widely used herbicide in the state. In some parts of the country, weed-infested fields have nearly put farm-ers out of business.”

Mike Owen, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach weed specialist and agronomist, estimated 20 percent to 30 percent of soybean fields have glyphosate-resistant weeds – two to three million acres. Less than five percent of the fields have serious resistance prob-lems, he said.

“In the near future, that number is expected to in-crease dramatically,” Owen stated.

It’s likely all Iowa farms have resistant weed biotypes, he contends.

Most farmers are just a year or two away from a seri-ous weed control problem.

If farmers are proactive and adopt herbicide resistance management plans, glyphosate and other chemicals can still control weeds now and in the future.

SOIL, from Page 1

“Why do we need 500 acres (to farm)? Why can’t a family support itself with 500 acres and below? Why do we have to farm in the thousands (of acres)?” he asked.

“As we started doing lots of research and study-ing, we realized how out of context modern agricul-ture is, but what’s begin-ning to see the fraying of it is when fuel went from $1.80 to three something. Then all of a sudden you started seeing those exter-nal pressures,” Archuleta explained.

Freedom is another fac-tor in Archuleta’s mes-sage.

“What farmers really like about this message – the ones that are really critically thinking – free-dom. I’m not working for everybody else. I’m not a tenant farmer anymore. I have more control. I have more freedom. I don’t have to depend on the govern-ment. I don’t have to de-pend on anybody,” he said.

“The healthier you get that soil, the more you can see that freedom. And you’re not so controlled by the prices any more. The whole thing, everything is connected to this – it’s energy – what it takes to produce that product.”

He added the reason that modern agriculture was able to continue is that energy was cheap energy.

“It’s not cheap any more. Those days are gone,” he stated.

Archuleta does not ig-nore the resistance to his message.

“I would say 10 percent of the people are going to get it and the other 90 won’t. I don’t worry about

it. It’s not my job. I want those 10 percent to teach the others, and when the other ones are ready, they’ll either come to it or they won’t. And that’s okay,” he stated.

Asked if resistance oc-curs because producers use the methods their fa-ther’s or grandfather’s did, he responded, “That’s why I start off (my programs) with a demonstration. We are busting up all your paradigms. Ignorance is perpetuated from family to family to family to fam-ily. I say don’t look at your neighbors; you’ll go broke. Learn to be a student and an observer. Watch the natural system.”

One participant at the June 4 program who uses cover crops and no till said he was not doing anything his great-grandfather didn’t do.

The great-grandfather only plowed the land one year out of every five, had a balance of animals that provided manure for the soil, used rotations and had what now would be viewed as cover crops.

However, back then they weren’t truly cover crops because they were used.

Another farmer pointed out that during the wet spring, farmers were using tillage to dry the soil so corn and soybeans could be planted.

“One of the things we have a problem with is we lack patience,” Archuleta responded.

He explained no-till soils will hold more water. They have larger pores and con-tain more organic matter.

“Of course they’re going to be wetter. But that’s why, when we have the living covers to suck the water, we can control that mechanism,” he stated.

“It’s using the covers to do what nature does for us.”

Archuleta has a simple phrase to sum up his phi-losophy - healthy soil - less oil and less toil.

He said the movement toward holistic, no-till farming is growing. It is still small but growth can be seen. He said Brandt gets 100 calls a day from interested people.

“We can see through our data, through the NRCS, that the use of cover crops is growing,” Archuleta stated.

He said the movement has become big enough to change other agencies, including the NRCS, which has mandated that by the end of December all NRCS employees will have gone through Level I soil health training and in the follow-ing year will receive train-ing in Level II, Level III and Level IV.

Brandt, who farms 1,250 acres in an 18-mile radius of his home in Ohio, said what convinced him to plant cover crops and to disturb the soil as little as possible was the time and investment involved in conventional crop pro-duction.

He has minimal equip-ment and is still able to maintain the yields he used to.

“The yields are better than my neighbors and the county average,” he stated.

Brandt said he hasn’t carried crop insurance for 20 years, adding that even in a bad year his yields are higher than the point at which insurance kicks in.

He has been farming since 1963, other than the two years he served in Vietnam. He switched to no-till in 1971. Brandt is not totally chemical-

free on his farm. As he adds land to his opera-tion, he uses chemicals to get the biology of the soil changed.

“My goal is to lave all my land in much better shape than I got it,” he stated.

The yellow clay soil on his land is now filled with rich organic matter he stated.

Working with cover crops and no-till requires more management but Brandt said he has more time for management be-cause he is not doing till-age.

He also advised farm-ers to step off the cab and dig behind their planter to make sure the equip-ment is working correctly. A shovel, Brandt stated, is one of the best tools a farmer can use.

Brandt spoke about building the organic mat-ter in soil, stating that people thought it couldn’t be done rapidly but said his farm contradicts that

statement.Archulta added, “Organ-

ic matter can be changed about a 10th of a percent per year, but it’s all a func-tion of the farm and the climate.”

He explained that or-ganic matter can be built in Iowa more rapidly than in warmer states, because when it’s colder, the mi-crobes aren’t feeding all

the time.Archuleta added that

any cover crops are going to provide some benefit.

“But if your goal is to have freedom and to re-duce your inputs and to make money, you have to do it all,” he stated.

“If you want to get that soil to cycle nutrients on its own, you’ve got to do it all.”

Healthier soil means more freedom for farmers

Dave Brandt speaks about the diverse mix of cover crops he uses on the 1,250 acres he farms in Ohio. Among the cover crops are cereal rye, winter peas and radishes. Photos by Gordon Wolf

The last three years have been some of the most ex-citing and profitable times in agriculture. Land values have nearly doubled since 2009.

Cash rental rates in Iowa saw another record high in 2013 with the state aver-age cash rent reaching $270 per acre.

It is unknown how long these record times will last, but landowners and investors are all interested to see where the current agriculture business envi-ronment is headed.

To help answer the questions landowners and investors may have, US Farm Lease & Gan-non Real Estate has put together its third annual “This Land is Your Land” conference, set for 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, July 26 at the Meadows Events Center at Prairie Meadows in Altoona.

The conference will focus on a number of the opportunities and chal-

lenges affecting landown-ers today and into the future. Topics discussed at the conference will ad-dress not only national is-sues, but also topics that affect Iowa landowners specifically.

Topics and speakers will be:

Farm draining and water management - Phil Al-green, Agridrain, Adair

Land values in Iowa - Mark Gannon, Gannon Real Estate & US Farm Lease, Ames

Real estate planning - Robert Hodges, Brown-Winick Law Firm, Des Moines

Farmland ownership trends and land values - Mike Duffy, ISU Exten-sion, Ames

Keynote address - Bill Northey, Iowa Secretary of Agriculture, Des Moines

Farm leasing update - Jeff Winslow, Gannon Real Estate & US Farm Lease, Ames

Productivity and tech-

nology update – Dan Frie-berg, Premier Crop, Des Moines

Morning breakout ses-sions will include:

Beginning farmer tax benefits – Steve Ferguson

Self-directed real estate IRAS – Mark Gannon

Soil and water conser-vation options/responsi-bilities

Afternoon breakout ses-sions will include:

Farm tax and estate planning – Robert Hodges

Landowner investment options panel – Jim Harvey and David Strege

Farm operation options other than traditional corn/soybeans – Teresa Opheim

Mark Gannon, president of US Farm Lease & Gan-non Real Estate, who has worked in farm manage-ment, brokerage, and lend-ing for more than 30 years said, “The farmland envi-ronment is changing with high land values and in-creasing rent values. There

is a generational shift in farmland ownership oc-curring and an increasing percentage of farmland owned by non-operators or the elderly. The age of the landowner is increas-ing, but so are the expec-tations from heirs, outside investors and large farm operators. The “This Land is Your Land” conference is intended to assist land-owners in making sound decisions concerning their land, while continuing a profitable and enduring landlord-operator relation-ship.”

The cost of the confer-ence is $75 for the first at-tendee in a group and $50 for the second attendee. Breakfast, lunch and re-freshments are included.

Additional information is available at www.us-farmlease.com. Space is limited for the conference.

Demand driving expansion at Smitty Bee Honey in Defiance

As the popularity of honey continues to grow, Smitty Bee operations are growing along with it. be company is preparing to add approximately 20,000 square feet to their facilities in Defiance, an expansion that is esti-mated to increase capacity by 50 percent.

The new space will accommodate a retail bottling room, a research and development laboratory, offces and additional warehouse space, all designed with features to make the operation even more energy effcient.

With consumers discovering the great taste and health benefits of honey, and food producers increasingly uti-lizing honey as an all natural sweetener, production at Smitty Bee has hit an all-time high. After more than 80 years in the industry, the company has nearly tripled in size in the last decade.

As capacity and output grows considerably, Smitty Bee remains committed to high food safety and quality standards. bis includes utilizing internal and indepen-dent lab testing facilities as well as a traceability pro-gram, while hiring third party auditors to monitor, verify and maintain honey quality. Smitty Bee also maintains ethical sourcing practices, employing a strict approval and certification process for suppliers.

Under its fourth generation of family ownership, Smit-ty Bee is a honey packer and producer known for con-sistently providing a wide variety of high-quality honey products to both industrial and retail customers.

YOUR FARM.YOUR FAMILY.OUR FOCUS.

Working beside you...to do things right from the start

CSIF is a not-for-profi t, non-lobbying organization funded by the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association, Iowa Corn Growers Association, Iowa Farm Bureau Federation, Iowa Pork Producers Association, Iowa Soybean Association, Iowa Turkey Federation and Midwest Dairy Association.Scan this code to

hear more from the Novaks.

Fourth-generation livestock farmer Ben Novak was ready to join his father, Ted, on their row crop and cattle farm in Tama County. But, current land values made it diffi cult to compete for crop ground, so a new 900-head cattle barn was the best option to bring Ben back to the family farm. The Coalition to Support Iowa’s Farmers (CSIF) was there to help smooth the way and answer the Novaks’ questions.

“We wanted to do things right and not just meet, but exceed the rules and regulations,” said Ted Novak. “CSIF was a valuable resource for us. They made multiple trips to our farm to assess our current situation and served as a sounding board for us.”

“The number one service the Coalition provided was helping us understand the rules and regulations as we bounced ideas off them,” said Ben Novak. “CSIF helped us take a proactive approach to reaching our goals and helping us grow our farm responsibly.”
