AgVantage FS officials lambasted by Chapin residents at variance hearing

By Nick Pedley AgVantage FS was granted a special variance on Monday to expand their grain facility in Chapin, but it didn’t come without staunch criticism from a group of locals angry about the company’s business practices.

A special hearing was held at the Community Resource Center in Hampton to take action on a variance determining whether or not the company could build alongside First Street in Chapin. AgVantage FS’s property is zoned in a heavy industrial area, and special permission is needed when constructing anything within 30 feet of a right-of-way. The meeting was prompted by the company’s plans to expand its facility’s storage capacity and corn drying capabilities in addition to adding an out-bound scale on the south side of its property.

The hearing wasn’t without its fireworks, however. Around a dozen members of the Chapin Coalition for Environmental Friendly Community [sic] (CCEFC) showed up in force to combat the company’s proposal. “I moved to Chapin three years ago, and my doctor told me recently that I should consider looking for a different place to live because he’s seen changes in my lungs because of all the dust,� said CCEFC chairman Kay Rother.

Many people took turns criticizing AgVantage FS Grain Division Manager Kevin Gray and Western Regional Grain Manager Barney Bartels, claiming the company neglected the well being of the town’s residents for years.

Nearly everyone in attendance gave various first-hand accounts detailing rampant air pollution from corn dust, deafening noise from the dryer and drainage issues that created pools of stagnant water ripe with mosquitos. “My grandson came to visit me, and

AgVantage FS’s Chapin location plans to expand its storage capacity and corn drying capabilities in addition to adding an out-bound scale on the south side of its property. A new dump pit with an aeration system will also be added. (Photo by Nick Pedley, Hampton Chronicle) he asked, ‘Grampy, why do you got yellow snow over here?’ I tell him, ‘Well, that isn’t snow. It’s corn dust,’ � said CCEFC Second Chairman Ralph Marshal.

Both Gray and Bartels were concerned over the accusations and said AgVantage FS’s proposed additions would address some of the issues. The new tower dryer they plan to install is much quieter than the current ones, they said, and it will help eliminate some of the issues with corn dust.

Bartels explained the new dryer burns the corn husks as they float towards the top of the structure during the drying process. The charred remains drop to the bottom, in turn bettering air quality. “It won’t get rid of all it, but it’s going to help significantly,� said Bartels.

The two men noted the company plans to remove the old red corn dryer

and keep the the other one as a backup after the tower dryer is installed. “We’ll use the back-up if we need to increase capacity if we have a wet crop, or if we have a small amount that comes in so we don’t have to start the larger tower dryer, but the backup will be used sparingly,� Gray explained.

Residents continued to tell stories of dust piled so thick they had to scoop it off their sidewalks with shovels or clear it with a leaf blower. One man said he hadn’t washed his vehicle in more than a year because it gets dusty immediately.

The meeting got out of hand momentarily when numerous residents disrupted both Bartels’ and Gray’s answers while simultaneously interrupting each others’ questions. “I have three different conversations going on at the same time,� interjected

Zoning Administrator Russell Wood. “We need to stay on track and take it one at a time.�

Wood said numerous items brought up by the CCEFC should be dealt with outside of the meeting between the residents and the company. Many of the problems weren’t related to the variance proposal, he said, and sidetracking discussion wasn’t pertinent to the board’s decision. He felt it was important for the group to prioritize their goals and move forward in a more structured manner.

Both Bartels and Gray reiterated that AgVantage FS was making strides to improve its standing within the community. Bartels said a drainage survey is currently being conducted to figure out the standing water problems, and they plan to address the issues accordingly after the results are completed.

The final harvest The Sheffield Press

OCTOBER 11, 2013 Sheffield, Iowa

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have many first-hand accounts of harvest season. Most of my experience is limited to the first eight years of my life, but this time of the year always seems to stir fond memories nonetheless.

I was raised with rather conflicting influences. My momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side of the family was in the newspaper business, but my dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side farmed.

Some days Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d head up town to the office, but other times Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d head out to the sprawling greens of my grandparentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; acreage. Both provided me a rather unique experience that has stuck with me to this day.

Obviously, I chose the news industry over agriculture. My decision was a matter of circumstance

more than anything else â&#x20AC;&#x201C; my grandparents sold their farm, consequently leaving me with no other option than to pursue my interests elsewhere. However, I always have a few distinct memories that come back each time harvest season rolls around.

Everything seemed so huge out at my grandparentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; place. The tractors were enormous beasts capable of moving anything that crossed their path; the barns were spacious castles that provided endless hours of fun; and the machine shed had a fascinating item in every corner.

For a youngster like me at the time, nothing was bigger and more impressive than the farm.

Like most little boys, tractors fas-

cinated me. I had many toy models to play with, but nothing beat riding in the actual thing with my grandpa. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d occasionally get to â&#x20AC;&#x153;driveâ&#x20AC;? the tractor, which essentially meant he let me put my hands on the steering wheel. The experience was monumental for me nonetheless. Telling my farm friends that I had driven a tractor gave me a little more credibility on the playground, and that was key growing up in a rural community.

Chore time didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t equate to much by the time I was old enough to help. My grandpa had quit raising livestock and strictly stuck to farming soybeans and corn. However, there were still a few things to do each morning. It was always fun gathering eggs from the chicken coop or feeding all the farm cats.

The cats werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tame, but there was one particular hen that always let me pick it up and hold it. I felt like a big shot petting that chicken, as ridiculous as that may seem.

All of these ag experiences came to a close when my grandparents decided to retire. There was no final chapter for the farm until an auction was held to sell everything, but harvest time seemed to be the more poetic ending. I was somewhat oblivious to the significance of that autumn. The fields were as golden as they had always been and my grandpa was just as busy as every other season, but that harvest over 15 years ago was indeed a special

time that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never forget.

I remember more family members were there to help out and take in the memories. I helped my grandma and aunts bring out a field lunch, and I think I rode along in the combine. I also remember that my sister, who is six years my senior, drove grandpaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pick-up with just her and me in it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a pretty big deal in those days. It was a fun time that brought the family together to share the final memories of the farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last hurrah, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m certainly thankful I could share in the experience.

Maybe it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean much to me back then, but it does today. Every now and then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll drive past the old farm when I go home for a weekend. I think back to all times I spent exploring the grove, helping my grandpa or climbing around some old piece of equipment. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad I got to experience a few moments of farm life, even if they were rather brief. I loved the farm and everything on it, and I know many other â&#x20AC;&#x153;city kidsâ&#x20AC;? arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as lucky as I was growing up.

I may only have a few memories of harvest season, but I know that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a special time of the year for many farm families â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it marks an end to the growing season and all the hard work put in to a successful crop. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly something to celebrate even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not your final harvest.

This be issue number 41 . . . and I just remembered that Christmas is getting close! Like 10 issues away!

That part doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother me . . . itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Christmas shopping that does!

Once again . . . thank goodness Angie has volunteered to help me. (I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good!) Anyway . . . here on the work front things go fine.

Lots of things to do . . . problem being they all should really be done first! And that just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen!

I like to do the work in the order it comes through the door. But when the courier from Hampton brings in five or six things at once . . . theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all â&#x20AC;&#x153;firstâ&#x20AC;?! (I try to use my best judgment on what has a priority . . . and therein lies the problem!) My best judgment? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a good week . . . and I have plenty of work to keep me off the streets!

Home . . . time spent there was doing odd jobs that I have been putting off for some time. Most of the little things were completed.

Lid purchased a small pendulum clock years ago . . . and the thing

never did work as it should. Took it back to the maker and had it fixed.

It quit shortly thereafter and the thing just hung on the wall and did nothing. I decided to take it down and get it fixed. The first thing I did was get two pounds of dust off of it! Then I thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d try a new battery. I found one in the junk drawer and put it in. Voila! It worked . . . for approximately a half hour! Then I figured that the battery must have been old . . . so I purchased a couple of new ones. Problem cured . . . itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been running for four days now!

Gosh, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m good! The next thing that needs to be done is to hang the new drapes that I bought. And the new rods to put them on. I know me . . . that job is definitely going to require some help! I have a couple of â&#x20AC;&#x153;helpâ&#x20AC;? in mind! And the final big job that I need to get done is to put the top up on the convertible. That should be an easy one, as I had the mechanism that does the job fixed last year. But . . . it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to want to work now! I have a couple of ideas on why not: one I can fix myself, and the other will be much more complicated. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping for the first option! Not with my luck!

I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it to Altoona this past week end as scheduling once again just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work out. As I mentioned, I spent Saturday and Sunday working around the house and some time here at the office. I actually got a lot of things done around the adobe . . . and that includes the stack of ironing that I had accumulated. I know . . . who irons today?

Some think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m nuts! I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think . . . I know! But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy in my own little world. As for going south this coming week end . . . that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look all that promising, either. But you can bet Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do my best to get there! Be good, Kids+! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Showtime!

The day was totally awesome as we strolled into the headquarters seeking to demolish our foe. Oh our bark is loud and our bite muted. The troops had those stares of daggers and it emanated a sense of urgency. Geez themâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big words for usâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ns but then we are destined for fame, ya sure and whales walk on all fours. The General that be one Tom Severe type gave us our weekly instructions and we absorbed them like a dry sponge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Men it is time to bring your â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aâ&#x20AC;? game at this point in the season; we must create an image that will live on forever.â&#x20AC;?

Oh wow, now themâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mighty big words to live by but then we are eager to accept the challenge. We were divided into four threesomes and one foursome. Naturally the foursome conquered all, well not quite that dominant as Dick Brown, Dallas Slagle, Dennis Foss and David Levitt shot 69 as did Tom Severe, Billiam Nolte and yours truly. They got first place on a tiebreaker hole. Gosh I got my team together and we decided it took four GOOD men to beat three sosoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Browny was crushing the ball, in fact one of the balls he hit off the tee box exploded, yup exploded is the word. Slag crunched some awesome approach shots, Fossy curled in countless putts and Levitt well they had nothing good to say about his game. I only print what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m told; I know firsthand that Dave is a tad better than that. A little bird landed on my shoulder and told me that they used Brownies drives on every hole. Whoa Nellie, no wonder!

Their win got them a ticket for four to see Bozo the Clown at the Chapin Civic Center. Billy Bob had the shot of the day for our team, as he skulled one on number 7; it hit a rock near the creek, caromed off the bridge, scooted through the sand, hit the flag stick and ended up 2â&#x20AC;? from the hole. Well my memory might be short a quart but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I recall.

The third place team shot a 70 with Doug Siems, Bobby Shreck-

engost and Jimmy Saylor as its members. Bobby had his putter radar in focus, Saylor had his GPS for irons on pinpoint and Doug had extra powder in his driver.

Their pull together pull together team team team and rah-rah-rah rally won them a Ridge Stone pompom (whatever that is). The fourth place team of Cliffy Cameron, Rogery Madsen and Larry Lockwood was bumped out of contention for a prize with a 71. Oh so close but yes we have no bananas today!

Then folks comes the worst of the worst and even worser than worser was the team of, oh I hate to identify them because they shot 77. My goodness now three grown men, golf geniuses ended up spraying the course with golf balls. I mean it looked like hail folks. I truly have to force my conscience to divulge them but hey a reporter must report what he witnesses. The team was led by the Rev. Kim Wills (I think he led them astray) DeanO Peter and his off spring Randy such! Oh but you know they had fun, Dean never cares if he wins or not, yaw sure and the Hoover Dam was built in a day. Sometimes I think we should all be thrown into the hoosegow and fed bread and water instead of playing cow pasture pool.

The time has arrived once again to refill the cranial capacity with something positive for a change.

Oh now donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t laugh I do have a cranium I think. Cliff told me that urine is opposite of youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out and Jimmy chimed in and said bacteria is back door to cafeteria. Oh my itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time folks my wheels are spinning, the eyes are dilated and fingers locked up. So until we meet again may you find joy in knowing that horse is spelled H O R S E! Bazinga another one down the drain!

West Fork FFAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ers participate in artificial insemination workshop

By Nick Pedley A group of West Fork FFA students headed to Iowa Falls Oct. 3 and gained some hands-on experience with a rather unique area of the livestock industry.

Ten students from Bret Spurginâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Animal Science class participated in an artificial insemination workshop hosted by the Iowa Falls-Alden FFA Chapter featuring experts from Iowa State University and Ellsworth Community College.

Students practiced insemination on organs removed from a cowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reproductive tract, learned about the uses of ultrasound and watched an artificial insemination on a live animal. The session gave students a first-hand take on an important part of the industry that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get much attention, according to Spur-

gin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, most of them wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be raising cattle or artificially inseminating cattle,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it gives them a really good idea of the work that gets put into it and the science behind it.â&#x20AC;?

One of the workshopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stations was particularly hands-on. Students were given latex gloves, a reproductive tract removed from a dead cow and an empty insemination tube. They then practiced inseminating the organ mass, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so easy for everyone who handled the slimy blob of flesh.

Many students squirmed and grimaced as they practiced the procedure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope not, but you never know,â&#x20AC;? said West Fork junior Collin JonesSmeby, when asked if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ever

have to do a real artificial insemination. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot different than learning about it in class,â&#x20AC;? said West Fork senior Marcus Wogen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting to actually see it other than reading about it.â&#x20AC;?

Spurgin said the insemination practice station got mixed reviews, but many students enjoyed the experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of them thought it was cool, some of them didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do it and then some of them said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never do it again,â&#x20AC;? Spurgin observed.

The instructor noted livestock reproduction was only a minor portion of the Animal Science class. So far, students have learned about different species in the livestock industry and the products they pro-

duce. As the school year progresses, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tackle topics like nutrition and genetics, while also going more in-depth with the reproduction process. The class is provided

by NIACC and allows students to gain college credit if they pass.

Spurgin said this was the first time the class participated in the bovine artificial insemination workshop, and he jumped at the opportunity when IF-A FFA instructor Doug Dodd extended an invitation. SpurFFA to page 10

Warhawks sweep Central Springs SHEFFIELD – Lindsey Peterson put down 25 of West Fork’s 38 kills in a 3-0 Corn Bowl Conference sweep of Central Springs on Tuesday, Oct. 1.

The senior outside hitter added 27 digs and three aces in the 25-21, 25-23, 25-17 win.

In the deceptively competitive match, the lead changed hands 16 times but the Warhawks were able to put away the Panthers to improve to 8-6 overall and 4-1 in the Corn Bowl.

Peyton Perkins distributed 25 assists and served up three aces on 10of-11 serving while Courtney Larson added six kills and 15 digs in the victory.

The Warhawks were off until another Corn Bowl match on the road against Northwood-Kensett on Tuesday, Oct. 8 and play host to Rockford tonight (Thursday).

Worth the wait:

Warhawks extend homecoming 72 hours for victory

By Kristi Nixon SHEFFIELD – One thing is certain, West Fork will never forget this homecoming win.

Approximately three days after the Warhawks had to postpone play after lightning kept delaying its Class 1A, District 3 game against Eagle Grove, they finished things off nicely with a 42-7 victory Monday evening.

Leading 12-0 with about 2 and a half minutes left in the first half when play resumed, coach Rodney Huber’s squad put the foot on the gas and didn’t let up to earn the second win of the season and first district triumph.

“This was the first time it’s ever happened to me (being in a weather-delayed game), so that was unique,” Huber said. “I think that most of the kids had the first time experiencing something like that. I guess it was a good thing because we came a little bit sharper on offense and were able to reiterate some things and clean things up.”

Senior captain Spencer Halloran did a little bit of everything on both nights.

Friday, he rushed for a touchdown, but threw his only interception of the game.

On Monday, he turned things around and finished 14-of-23 for 275 yards and a pair of long touchdowns to Evan Sprung. Halloran added another rushing touchdown on Monday and accounted for 399 yards of overall offense.

He also took over on kick-offs late and had a pair of interceptions against Eagle Grove quarterback Devon Omvig in the fourth quarter – one that would have gone for a touchdown but for an illegal block in the back penalty.

“I got moved to safety today because they were throwing sweeps,”

Halloran said. “It’s a lot easier to make plays on sweeps playing safety than linebacker, so they moved me out there. They threw a couple of balls up and I went up and got them.”

His brother, Reese, had intercepted Omvig in the first half on Friday.

Overall, Halloran was happy with how homecoming ended after the wait.

“We haven’t won on homecoming the last couple of years and so this is pretty exciting to win on homecoming for once,” Halloran said.

“We haven’t been on the right side of the scoreboard on a lot of blowouts this year, so that was good.

“It’s a little different playing on Monday night – I don’t think I’ve ever played on a Monday night, except maybe middle school, but it’s going to suck going to school tomorrow sore. It was good the way we came out and played.”

Even though it isn’t homecoming week, it was still a homecoming game to remember.

“The guys will always remember this one, how unique it was,” It was a weird situation because homecoming week is gone and done with. But, they’ll remember it and they got the win so that’s always special.”

Tyson Pillard, who scored a touchdown each night, had 11 carries for 72 yards rushing.

The Warhawks have a quick turnaround in which they must travel to Nashua-Plainfield (4-3, 2-1) for a key district game.

“Friday night is a big game in district for us – we beat Nashua, we like our odds of making the playoffs,” Halloran said. “So, we know how big Friday is and we have to come back, watch film tomorrow and have a couple of good practices this week.”

By Kristi Nixon It isn’t a certainty yet, but Riceville, a Corn Bowl Conference mainstay since the 1960s, is looking to make the leap to the smaller-school Iowa Star Conference.

The Wildcats, with a 9-11 grade enrollment official number of 71, is by far the smallest school in the Corn Bowl.

If a Monday, Oct. 21 school board meeting approves Riceville to leave the Corn Bowl and later is admitted to the Iowa Star, it would be in the middle of the conference as far as enrollment goes. The average 9-11 enrollment for Iowa Star schools is 84.

The switch wouldn’t be effective until the 2015-16 school year and would leave the Corn Bowl with just seven member schools and increase the Iowa Star to 14 after the addition of Valley Lutheran in this school year.

This also makes traveling considerations for Riceville a concern, considering the Iowa Star includes Colo-Nesco and Meskwaki Settlement School, round trips of 260 (four hours, 42 minutes) and 244 miles (4:22), respectively.

North Butler activities director Todd Thompson said he didn’t want to speculate on something that hasn’t happened yet or discussed within the Corn Bowl school AD’s, principals or superintendents.

Clarksville AD Matt Finley, a member of the Iowa Star, said that Riceville potentially could be competition for his conference.

“I feel Riceville will be a great addition to the Iowa Star Conference,” Finley said. “It will allow us to have 14 teams in our conference. Also it will be a good fit for Riceville since they will have several schools their same size.”

New CAL AD Scott Striegel said that he is too new to the conference in order to make a comment on the potential move.

Corn Bowl Conference member West Fork AD Lance Thompson did not return a message for comment.

Several steps in the process must first take place for the move, but one thing is certain, Riceville is looking for a new home.

True to the course

Area runners like running at Hampton

By Kristi Nixon HAMPTON – What’s not to like about the Mayne’s Grove cross country course?

A true cross country course down to the exact mileage, area runners enjoyed it no matter their finish.

The No. 6 (Class 1A) West Fork boys cross country team worked its way through the field to finish runner-up to second-ranked (Class 3A) Charles City as the Comets swept the team and individual titles at Hampton-Dumont’s H-D Bulldog Invitational on Thursday afternoon.

“It’s one of my favorite meets to run at,” said West Fork freshman runner Jacob Hansen, who recently entered the Iowa Association of Track & Cross Country Coaches rankings at 11th, “and I think that the times today might have been a little bit slower for everybody – I don’t know (why) maybe because of the hills, it’s a pretty good cross country course and pretty challenging, also.”

With Peyton Twedt, ranked third in 1A, finishing runner-up to Charles City’s Jacob Day (ranked third in Class 3A), and Drew Engebretson crossing the finish line in 11th, the Warhawks scored 58 points to 27 for the Comets.

“We’re all pushing each other, everybody has somebody on the team that pushes them,” Hansen said. “Peyton pushes me and I push Peyton and Drew also pushes me. I mean, everybody just pushes each other. We haven’t had that in the past couple of years as much, but this year we’ve got a lot of inpractice competition. We all make each other better and it really

shows because we all brought our times down.”

Running in their home meet, the Bulldogs finished fifth in the boys team race while the girls were sixth.

Four of H-D’s runners broke 20 minutes, which is something coach Steve Huling’s squad has been aiming for.

The top finisher among the H-D boys was Grant Lehmann, who overtook teammate Chase Skarpness with about a mile to go to finish 24th out of 75 runners in the field in 19 minutes, 15 seconds.

“I was leading for the first mile and once we went up that ‘heartbreak hill’ he (Skarpness) passed me for probably about a mile. Right before we got to the lake, I decided to go for it. (This is my) season best; last year I got 19:07, so I’m still eight seconds off (a personal best).”

Also breaking 20 minutes for the Bulldogs besides Lehmann and Skarpness were Jarred Robinson (19:54.95) and Max Lehmann (19:55.57).

Jordan Prantner, meanwhile, overcame back troubles to cross the line first for the H-D girls in 17:37 for 17th.

“Last week with two meets and some other activities, it got kind of sore,” Prantner said of her back. “I went to a chiropractor and got it checked out – they had been working on doing a little therapy with it, so I had a jammed joint and it’s causing some muscles to work harder.

“That caused some pain and I wasn’t able to run two of the days this week and I can tell that in the race.”

Since she missed a few days of

practice and with elite competition at the meet, Prantner said she was happy with her finish.

“Considering I haven’t done much, I was pretty pleased about it,” Prantner said. “I was glad my back wasn’t hurting during the race, but I could tell…my lungs after taking three days off…it really changes how you can run and what you can do.

“With the competition here – I knew there was going to be good runners from what coach had said and so I was hoping to stay up with a couple that I had ran with in a couple of other meets, but I was still pretty pleased.”

West Fork’s Maya Rowe was the Warhawks’ top female finisher at 24th in 18:08.37.

Area competitors are working their way toward a post-season push.

“It’s crazy – it doesn’t seem that long ago that we were starting school and just started practice but conference is coming up and I’m hoping our whole team can get healthy so we can get a good team score in,” Prantner said. “(To) get in good shape and run PRs, it would be awesome.”

Others who were ailing for the Bulldogs included Bekah Christiansen and Jessica Speake. Illiana Bartsch was next to cross the line for the H-D girls in 30th (18:32.53).

Hansen said of his team’s postseason goals, “Right now, we are still trying to qualify for state and one of our team goals is to get top three at state so we can bring home a trophy, but we’re really working towards that.”

FFA from page 4 gin noted the class takes other field trips to places like the North Iowa Boar Stud in Riceville, but this was the only place where the class could witness an artificial insemination and practice one at the same time.

“You can sit in a class and lecture all day about how to do something, but until you sit down and are actually able to do it, it really makes all the difference,” he said.

Overall, Spurgin said the workshop gave students a better idea of how the world’s food production keeps up with ever-increasing demand.

“It really lets the kids know how we’re able to produce so much food – especially beef – when the number of farmers is decreasing every year, yet we’re producing more and more beef each year,” he said.

West Fork Marching Band AGVANTAGE from page 1 “We want to make sure the drainage is correct,” said Gray. “We want to be good neighbors in the community.”

However, residents remained hesitant to take the promises at face value.

“I have a hard time coming back here today and believing you,” said Chapin resident David Dannen. “But I’m thrilled to death with what you’re saying and trying to do.”

Residents also raised concerns over dangerous truck traffic on the town’s streets caused by the company’s pick-ups and semis. John and Crystal McNealy said they don’t allow their children to ride bikes on the streets because they feared they’d get hit by a negligent driver. The couple thought the new additions were too close to First Street, consequently increasing the possibility of an accident.

“I know this is going to pass, but I think most people would agree that they’d rather have it further from the road just from a safety standpoint,” John McNealy said.

Bartels claimed the new set-up would lessen traffic along First Street because the out-bound scale would alleviate the need for trucks to make multiple loops around the facility when they bring in grain and get weighed.

After further questioning on behalf of the residents, Board of Adjustment Chair Franklin Thies called the issue to a vote. The vari-

The company said it will remove the old red corn dryer (back) and keep the other silver one (front) after they install a more efficient tower dryer by next fall. (Photo by Nick Pedley, Hampton Chronicle) ance allowing the company to build inside the 30-foot right-of-way was granted by 3-0 margin with board member Rick DeGroot abstaining due to a conflict of interest.

“It’s an asset to the community and I think with the proper management the problems can be handled,” Thies said.

According to Gray, AdVantage FS will move forward with their project and add two 750,000-bushel dry corn bins, two 110,000-bushel wet corn bins, a corn dryer capable of handling 7,000 bushels-per-hour and an out-bound scale on the south side of its property. A new dump pit with a state-of-the-art aeration system will also be installed.

“That will also help keep some of the dust down, and they’ve been the industry standard for quite some time,” Gray said after the meeting.

The company was unsure when the project would begin, but Bartels said some work could begin this fall. AgVantage FS hopes to have the new additions completed by next year’s harvest season.

Both Gray and Bartels noted the company was willing to continue working with Chapin residents to improve relations and better living conditions within the town.

“We want to be good neighbors, everybody, but we’re running a business, plain and simple,” said Bartels.
