Civil forfeiture rare in Creston

By BAILEY POOLMAN

CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

Down a long, dark room is a line of shelves, each holding different items that are now evidence attached to investigations or closed cases under Creston Police Department jurisdiction.

Recently, a slew of stories in the media has brought civil forfeiture to the forefront across the nation, and even in Iowa. However, Creston Police Department has not abused the system, rarely seizing items or cash without reason.

Ver Meer “We really don’t do a lot of seizure of property and cash,” said Paul Ver Meer, Creston police chief. “On rare occasion we will, but it’s always run past the county attorney first to see if he feels it’s a good candidate for forfeiture or seizure.”

sister Violet Franklin, left, takes a shot at the disc golf target during Southern Prairie YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day Saturday morning. Despite the rainy weather, the morning included a variety of indoor activities in the Y’s gymnasium to encourage children to be physically active.

Start “Forfeiture, or seizure, has been used by law enforcement mainly in the drug-related offenses,” Ver Meer said.

“We’ve found that taking the money from drug dealers affects them a lot more than just taking their drugs, and that’s where it started.”

According to Ver Meer, the American federal government put the forfeiture law into effect in the 1980s to prevent Colombian drug dealers from shipping drugs. Drug dealers would ship cash back across the border, which is where American law enforcement would intercept the money and seize it.

“States use it for similar things, for drug trafficking, stuff gained through commission of a crime,” Ver Meer said.

According to a recent analysis of U.S. Department of Justice data, three Iowa law enforcement agencies re-

ceived more than $250,000 as part of the Equitable Sharing Program via seizures from people not charged with a crime and with no warrant issued. The program allows federal and state agencies to share seized assets. In Iowa, Cedar Rapids Police participated in 71 seizures and received more than $550,000 of $2.1 million. Cass County Sheriff participated in nine seizures and received more than $350,000 of $3.2 million. And, Polk County Sheriff

participated in 40 seizures and received more than $250,000 of $2.7 million.

Local Ver Meer said he and his officers are “conservative” when it comes to seizures.

“I don’t think that we should just seize the money because we can,” Ver Meer said. “I think we should have a Please see FORFEITURE, Page 2A

Quake-aid need acute in Nepal capital, more so in rural villages KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — Shelter, fuel, food, medicine, power, news, workers — Nepal’s earthquake-hit capital was short on everything Monday as its people searched for lost loved ones, sorted through rubble for their belongings and struggled to provide for their families’ needs.

In much of the countryside, it was worse, though

how much worse was only beginning to become apparent.

The death toll soared past 3,700, even without a full accounting from vulnerable mountain villages that rescue workers were still struggling to reach two days after the disaster.

EARTHQUAKE: Continued from Page 1

Saturday’s magnitude 7.8 earthquake spread horror from Kathmandu to small villages and to the slopes of Mount Everest, triggering an avalanche that buried part of the base camp packed with

foreign climbers preparing to make their summit attempts.

Aid is coming from more than a dozen countries and many charities, but Lila Mani Poudyal, the government’s chief secretary and the rescue coordinator, said Nepal needed more.

definite justification for it.”

In the past seven years, Ver Meer said he has seized cash or assets three times.

Of those three times, Creston Police Department received a portion of money seized by state narcotics enforcement after assisting in one or two cases. The money had to be turned over to the court system before being released to any agency.

“We purchase equipment for the police department,” Ver Meer said of how seized money is spent. “We use it to aid in the purchase of vehicles, put it in a forfeiture fund, like we currently have to help support the police K-9.”

Any cash seized because of charges against someone, such as possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell, is held by the police. If that money is not part of the drug charge, the person must prove it for the cash to be returned.

“Anything three years or older, if nobody has requested that it be returned to them, or the courts order that it be returned, we go through and we process the evidence either for destruction or, if there’s a victim listed on the property sheets, we get hold of the victim and return the property,” Ver Meer said.

All seized items are kept for approximately three years until the case is adjudicated, or resolved, after which items are destroyed. Controlled substances such as marijuana and methamphetamine are burned and drug paraphernalia are destroyed. Victims of theft involving firearms and other weapons, such as guns or bows, are returned their items, whereas owners of those items who are

charged with certain things such as domestic abuse assault are not returned their items.

The weapons are instead destroyed through abandonment procedures.

“We err on the side of caution, and we don’t just go out and seize whatever we can.

And, one nice thing about working in a smaller county is we have a pretty good idea of who’s who and what’s what,” Ver Meer said. “A lot of times we’ve returned property to people that we’ve seized that the court says, they’ve either been found not guilty or the case was dismissed.”

Seizure Essentially, all seized assets must go through the court system before any law enforcement agency can claim them.

The county attorney and a judge must sign off saying the assets were part of a crime, before they are turned over to a police department.

“If we seize cash through a drug raid or something like that, and we apply for asset forfeiture, and the courts give it to us, they agree with us,” Ver Meer said. “The money will only be spent for things of a law enforcement nature, to purchase equipment, supplies, things like that.”

However, not all law enforcement agencies are like Creston Police Department.

Some people have “pushed the envelope,” according to Ver Meer, when it comes to what has been purchased using seized assets.

“If you use it for what it’s intended, and you don’t try to stretch the envelope, you find it’s easier for you,” Ver Meer said.

Iowa state legislators have recently looked at standardizing forfeitures, which will prevent abuse of the civil forfeiture law.

Ads should spin beyond web Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, concerning advertisements that list only a website for information: “We are active seniors and decided to discontinue our Internet service. Money is not the object; we prefer to talk to friends and relatives, and we write letters and enjoy receiving them.

“Lately, we see advertising on TV for new restaurants and other establishments without an address or telephone number. We like to try new restaurants, but the advertisement does not include an address or phone number.

“We wonder how many customers those establishments are missing by not telling us where they are located.” — Anna F., Colorado Springs, Colo.

Anna, I’m on your side!

Businesses are missing out on a part of the population that does not have or want Internet service. Why should the burden be on the CUSTOMER, who is making money for the company, to scurry around for an address?

Call your library (or a friend) and ask them to find the information you need. — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000

your readers have any ideas what I could do with them? — Carolyn B., Tyler, Texas Carolyn, I have a suggestion: Use them! Stir coffee or tea, scoop out some jelly for toast, or use one when you want just a little Dijon mustard from the jar.

They are just the right size for little ones who cannot hold an adult spoon.

I like to use similar spoons to enjoy ice cream. Just the right-size bites.

Make them into art! I made a wind chime from a handful of odd spoons and forks I seem to have collected. Artists and craftsmen make rings, bracelets and necklaces out of otherwise unused items.

Horoscope Tuesday, April 28, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) It will please you to get better organized today. Make a to-do list so that you can accomplish as much as possible. Look for ways to improve your health as well.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Although you are in work mode today, you also feel playful and prankish.

Your solution will be to work hard, and then take some time off to relax. Have the best of both worlds.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Home and family are your priorities today. A conversation with a female relative could be significant. You might want to cocoon at home and hide today.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You want to communicate with others today because you have something you want to say. In fact, you want honest conversation with others, not superficial chitchat.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might identify with something that you own today, which makes you protective of your possessions. You also might have some good moneymaking ideas.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Today the Moon is in your sign, which can make you more emotional than usual.

However, it also can bring you a bit of extra good luck.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Work alone or behind the scenes today, because you will appreciate privacy, as well as peace and quiet. Disputes about shared property might be getting you down.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A frank discussion with a female companion could be helpful today. Why not share your hopes and dreams for the future with others and get their feedback?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Personal details about your private life might be made public today, especially in the eyes of someone in authority.

Be careful. You might need to do some damage control.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Do something different today, because you’re hungry for adventure and a chance to learn something new. Basically, you need a change of scenery.

Can you travel somewhere?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.

18) Wrap up loose ends regarding taxes, debt, inheritances and shared property today.

Every bit of progress you make means there’s less to deal with later. Whew!

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Because the Moon is opposite your sign today, you will have to compromise or go more than halfway when dealing with others. This just requires a little humility and effort. No biggie.

YOU BORN TODAY You dress well. People rely on you,

because you’re dependable, steadfast and solid. You are a good negotiator, and you’re patient. This is a testing year of growth and building; however, this growth will likely occur beneath the surface. Do not make major changes yet — wait until next year. Strengthen your financial position by reducing your overhead.

Washington completed its first sweep in a best-of-7 series in franchise history Sunday.

National Digest

Busch wins RICHMOND, Va. — Kurt Busch snapped a long 35-race losing streak on Sunday at Richmond International Speedway after he held off Stewart-Haas racing teammate Kevin Harvick.

Busch led 291 of the 400 laps.

Busch missed the first three races due to a suspension after his alleged domestic assault on an ex-girlfriend.

After starting the race in 36th, Jimmie Johnson finished in third place.

Hawks sweep IOWA CITY — Tyler Peyton pitched 8 1/3 innings of one-run ball and the Hawkeyes pounded out 13 hits for a 5-1 win over Nebraska Sunday.

It’s the 30th win of the season for the Hawkeyes, who have now won six straight Big Ten series going back to last season.

Nick Hibbing got the final two outs for his fourth save.

Eric Toole had three hits and two RBI for the Hawkeyes. Toole, senior outfielder from Lewis Central, had three hits in the 3-2 opener, too. Playing first base in the Hawkeye weekend sweep was junior Taylor Kaufman of Glenwood.

Out for year ST. LOUIS — St. Louis Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright is expected to miss the rest of the 2015 season due to an Achilles injury he suffered Saturday night while stumbling out of the batter’s box.

The Cardinals placed Wainwright on the 15day disabled list Sunday with what they termed as an Achilles injury. He is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday.

“My foot just shut down on me,” Wainwright said Saturday after the Cardinals’ 5-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers.

Wainwright had a 2-0 lead when he stumbled getting out of the batter’s box on his popup that led off the fifth inning. He was helped off the field by a trainer and left the game.

Love injured BOSTON (AP) — LeBron James dribbled out the final 20 seconds while players embraced as the Cavaliers completed a sweep of the Celtics.

It may have been the calmest, most congenial 20 seconds of a physical game that left two players with potentially serious injuries and Cleveland wondering if Kevin Love would be ready for the next round.

One thing is certain: Love was angry after Cleveland beat Boston 101-93, a game he left midway through the first quarter Sunday with a dislocated left shoulder.

Kelly Olynyk had his right arm entangled with Love’s left arm - a move Love called “bush league” and intentionalas both went for a loose ball. Love grabbed his left shoulder and ran immediately to his locker room. Boston coach Brad Stevens said deliberately hurting a player is not in Olynyk’s personality.

Broken record, but third place for Wolfe Dolecheck eighth, Briley 15th at Drake

By SCOTT VICKER

ond in the 3,200 meters.

Creston head coach Pat Schlapia said Wolfe ran the race exactly how he needed to run it.

“That was an outstanding race by Jay,” he said. “He ran the race he needed to run. A race like that, you run it again and those three could finish in a different order next time. Those are three outstanding runners.”

In the short history of the Drake Relays high school boys 800 meters race, Wolfe is the only runner to have run under the meet record in consecutive years.

“For Jay to get beat by those two boys, those boys had to break a meet record,” Schlapia said. “Hats off to those guys, but Jay was right there with them.

Another day, those places could be reversed.”

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

DES MOINES — Creston senior Jay Wolfe is 2-for-2 in breaking the Drake Relays meet record in the high school boys 800 meters.

Unfortunately, Wolfe has no meet record and no gold medals to show for it.

For the second straight year, Wolfe set the pace in the race, but saw another runner charge past him in the final 200 meters for the win and the official meet record on the rain-soaked blue oval.

Friday afternoon, on a rain-soaked Jim Duncan Track at Drake Stadium, it was Dowling Catholic junior Ryan Schweizer who bolted past Wolfe in the final 200 meters, running 1:52.15 for the victory and the meet record.

Ames senior Daniel Chan clipped Wolfe in the final meters of the race, running 1:53.87 for second, with Wolfe third in 1:54.32.

Mount Ayr junior Kyle Dolecheck finished eighth in 1:56.77, with Creston senior Bryce Briley 15th in 1:59.64.

“It sucks breaking the record again and getting beat again, but it’s a PR for the season, so I’m happy with it,” Wolfe said after the race. “Keep working toward state.”

Pace-setter Wolfe, who was positioned in the fourth spot on the starting line, charged to the front right from the

Creston senior Jay Wolfe (5) races to the finish line with Ames senior Daniel Chan (1) as Dowling Catholic junior Ryan Schweizer (10) crosses the finish line during the Drake Relays high school boys 800 meters on Friday. All three runners ran under the meet record, with Wolfe finishing third.

sound of the gun.

As the runners reached the backstretch, Cedar Rapids Prairie junior Tysen Vandraska took the lead until Wolfe, the reigning Class 3A state champion at 800 meters, moved back in front on the homestretch.

The Panther senior led the pack through the first 400 meters in 56 seconds, with Dolecheck crossing in 57 seconds and Briley, who was boxed in early, coming through at 58 seconds.

“First lap was pretty much

perfect, 56,” Wolfe said.

“I came through leading.

Schweizer took over with 200 left and I just c o u l d n ’ t Wolfe find it to go with him. Got passed at the end to get third. I mean, I’ll settle for it.”

Schweizer, who just a few hours earlier split a 1:49

anchor on Dowling’s distance medley relay, opened up a quick 10-meter gap on Wolfe at the 200 mark and Wolfe couldn’t recover from the move.

“You never want to see someone go by you and not be able to go with them,” he said. “I wanted to at least try to go with him, but it just didn’t happen.”

Schweizer finished the weekend with gold medals in the distance medley relay, 800 meters and the 1,600 meters, while finishing sec-

Creston was the only school in the state to have two athletes competing in Friday’s Drake Relays high school boys 800 meters.

Briley, a senior, made his debut in an individual event at the Drake Relays after having ran on Creston’s 4x800 relay team at last year’s Drake Relays.

Starting from the outside position in lane one, however, Briley had a disastrous start to his race.

From the gun, Briley was cut off and forced to the back of the pack, where it was difficult for him to find Please see 800, page 9A

DES MOINES — When former Mount Ayr state champion Noah Larsen began the indoor track season at Iowa Central in the winter, he wasn’t sure if he’d be a distance runner or a mid-distance runner for the Tritons.

He eventually took on a role as a mid-distance runner for Iowa Central and returned to the Drake Relays here Friday, where he helped the Triton men finish third in the College Division 4x800 relay.

“We weren’t sure if I was going to be a distance guy or mid-distance,” Larsen said. “The head coach (and mid-distance coach) Denny Myers said, ‘we’ll keep you for indoors and see how that goes,’ and throughout the year I ran a lot of 1,000s and 800s. I was running PRs already during the indoor season, so I was looking

forward to outdoors.”

Larsen has blossomed into a reliable 800-meter runner for the Tritons during the outdoor season.

On March 28, Larsen ran 1:55.36 for ninth place at Arkansas University. On April 18, he split a 1:54 for the Tritons in the 4x800 relay at the Sioux City Relays on a rain-soaked track.

Friday, he returned to Drake’s blue oval for the first time since winning three state championships and a team title for the Raiders to run on Iowa Central’s 4x800 relay.

Larsen ran the second leg for the Tritons, breaking out of a pack of runners to emerge in second place with 300 meters to go in his leg.

“At that point, about 300 to go, I kind of felt like the pack was kind of slacking a little bit,” Larsen said.

“I saw an opportunity to make a move there and so just kind of tried to pick it up and stride out. Felt

pretty good when I made the move and worked into second.”

The Iowa Central freshman faded a bit down the homestretch in the final 100 meters, but still managed a 1:54.1 carry for the Tritons.

The Tritons went into the final leg of the race in second place, before finishing third overall in 7:35.74.

Oklahoma Baptist won in 7:31.73, with Wartburg College second in 7:32.32.

“Coming into it, we had some pretty high expectations for ourselves,” Larsen said. “Ran pretty well at the Sioux City Relays, so it was a good confidence-booster coming into the Drake Relays. We all had our eyes set on that first place, but we all came together and ran well today. I’m glad with what we did today. Proud of the guys.”

DES MOINES — Former Murray standout Kate Patton earned All-America honors during the indoor track season for Central College, but said she went into a bit of a slump at the beginning of outdoors.

Patton busted out of that slump in a big way here Friday at the Drake Relays, running on the Dutch 4x400 relay.

Central College finished 14th in the 28-team field in the College Division 4x400 relay, running 3:49.86.

Pittsburgh State took the final qualifying spot for finals with its time of 3:47.60.

Patton ran a 58.7-second anchor leg for the Dutch

improvement from her 1:00 split at the Jim Duncan Invitational on the same track, and in better weather conditions, just a few weeks prior.

“I ran like a 60 a few weeks ago, so I feel like that was a lot faster than a 60. I’m pretty happy with it. It just feels good to be back (at the Drake Relays) and not running at 8 in the morning,” Patton said, referencing the early start time for the high school girls 100 meter dash prelims, in which Patton had competed as a junior and senior for Murray.

Patton qualified for state in the 400 meter dash multiple times as a high school athlete, but placed higher in Please see PATTON, page 10A

a rhythm.

“I knew since I was in lane (position) two, I had to get out fast, but I didn’t get out fast enough,” he said.

“Kind of got boxed in a little bit.

It’s hard to keep your s t r i d e Briley when people are cutting in and out. A couple of times I got bumped and it threw me off my pace, but it was fun to be out here.”

While trying to transition from the second 200 to the third 200, Briley was cut off again.

“Bryce gave it his best,” Schlapia said. “Can’t ask for anything more than that.

Right about where he tran-

sitioned from the second to third 200, he got cut off there.

That threw his steps off.”

Briley entered the race with the 10th-fastest time in the state, but after getting boxed in early, finished only 15th in 1:59.64.

“It definitely feels good to run under 2 (minutes) again, because I never thought I’d be up there that quick,” Briley said. “I thought it was a very competitive race, all around.”

Schlapia said he was proud of his two athletes for how they handled themselves on the blue oval.

“Very, very proud of those two boys,” he said. “Those two boys have worked so hard for this. It was nice to see them go out and give it their best on the track.”

Dolecheck improves Mount Ayr’s reigning Class 1A state champion at 800 meters Dolecheck entered with the seventh-fastest time in the state.

Though he only finished eighth Friday, Dolecheck did improve his time from 1:57.04 to 1:56.77.

Dolecheck started from the outside position (hip No. 11) of the inside waterfall. He knew getting out fast would be key.

“I knew I was going to be really close to getting boxed in if I didn’t get out,” he said.

“I was right behind the guy in the waterfall up front. I got out in first or second right with Jay. None of us are used to being this packed up in an 800. Usually we’re all spread out. With Drake, everyone is close together, so we knew that was going to happen.”

Dolecheck hovered around the fifth and sixth spot for much of the race, crossing the 400-meter mark at 57 seconds.

“That’s kind of where we wanted to see Kyle, was in that 56-57 range,” Mount Ayr head coach Brad Elliott said.

“I think he felt comfortable through most of that. We re-

ally tried to get him to run as even-paced of a race as he could.”

After coming through t h e 400-meter mark, Dolecheck got caught out Dolecheck in lane two and ran around the final two turns in lane two.

He lost a couple of positions late, but was able to battle back and pass Vandraska near the end of the race, finishing as the second junior in the race behind Schweizer.

“That was our point of the whole race,” Elliott said. “there were several seniors in the field, and I think four juniors in the field. We just wanted to see where we were with those guys.”

Dolecheck was the lone Class 1A runner in the field, battling with mostly Class 4A and Class 3A athletes.

“It’s definitely a challenge, being used to 1A and then coming up and running with all the big schools,” Dolecheck said. “It’s made me better and pushed me. I’m ahead of everybody in 1A, so that’s a good confidence booster.”

“Kyle is one of those kids, I think he wants to measure himself up and see where he is with the best,” Elliott said.

“I don’t think he’s satisfied with what he accomplishes in 1A, I think he wants to be considered one of the best in the state for all classes.”

LARSEN: Continued from page 7A

Josh Prohaska, Dean Cronin and Dylan Eigenberger.

“Three of us are Iowa kids, so getting to run at Drake was pretty great,” Larsen said. “I’m really happy to be a part of the team.”

An increased presence in the weight room has made Larsen a stronger runner,

and has given him more confidence in his abilities on the track.

“We did a lot of lifting during the indoor season,” he said. “I’ve just been able to watch some changes in my body and I’ve even grown. Just being able to see improvement in the weight room gives me confidence when I step out on the track to know I’ll be a little bit quicker.”

Larsen hopes that confidence will lead to him qualifying for the NJCAA Outdoor National Championships this season.

The Tritons travel to the Region XI Championships in Council Bluffs at Iowa Western Community College on Friday and Saturday.

“I think I’m probably going to run the 1,500 and can probably still quali-

fy in that,” Larsen said.

“Haven’t really been in a fast heat in the 1,500. I ran 4:10 last weekend in a slow heat. Regionals, I know there will be lots of fast runners. Hopefully get a good time down and qualify for the national meet.”

The NJCAA Outdoor National Championships begin May 14 in Hutchison, Kan.

PATTON: Continued from page 7A

the 100 meter dash and the 200 meter dash at the state meet.

She ran her first 100 meter dash of the season later Friday evening at the Kip Janvrin Invitational at Simpson College.

“I never used to like 400s, but just the difference in training, I think. I don’t mind them so much anymore,” Patton said.

“My coach is a great coach, so I’ll just run whatever he tells me to.”

After earning All-American status during indoor season as part of Central’s

fourth-place 4x400 relay team at the Division III Indoor National Championships, Patton said the start to her outdoor season was rocky.

“It’s been a roller-coaster of a year,” she said. “It was really high when we went to nationals. But I’ve been kind of in a slump lately, so just working out of that slowly. I just feel like I’ve gotten a lot stronger, mentally and physically. Just getting confidence back is the big thing.”

Being physically stronger has helped Patton at the 400 distance. She said

she’s just 10 pounds away from making Central’s top five all-time list in the hang clean.

Aside from helping with her physical strength, it’s also helped her coming out of the blocks, an area in which she struggled as a high school athlete.

“I was terrible at blocks in high school,” she said.

“And I’m still not very good, but we’re working on it.”

Central College travels to Monmouth College this weekend, before making the trip back to Simpson College for the Iowa In-

tercollegiate Athletic Conference championships on May 7-9.

“Then last chance meets and hopefully nationals,” Patton said.

Central College competes in the Wisconsin-La Crosse Qualifier on May 13-14 and also has last chance meets scheduled for May 15 at the Gregory Invitational in Naperville, Ill. and the Augustana Twilight Qualifier in Rock Island, Ill. The NCAA Division III Outdoor Nationals Championships are May 21-23 in Canton, N.Y. 503 W. Adams Street Creston IA, 50801 641-782-2141 Fax: 641-782-6628 classified@crestnnews.com

‘Gas Light’: a night of suspense Flickering lamps, long shadows and dark secrets filled the Southwestern Community College Performing Arts Center this weekend as the SWCC Drama Club presented five sold-out performances of the Victorian thriller “Gas Light.”

After questioning her sanity, Jack Manningham, played by Joseph Larson, tells his wife Bella Manningham, played by Ahdri Evans, to lie down and rest as he prepares to leave the house.

In the present day, the realtor, right, played by Aaron Young, gapes in incredulity as he realizes the writer, played by Stephen Jefferies, actually wants to buy his creepy house.

Bella Manningham clutches a piece of evidence as Inspector Rough, played by Justin Queener, helps her piece together the mystery of her conniving husband’s actions.

Iowa farmers markets vie to retain customers, vendors DES MOINES (AP) — With farmers markets set to begin in dozens of cities across Iowa in the coming weeks, vendors and market managers alike are pulling out all the stops to draw in consumers.

National data suggest the tremendous growth in farmers markets has begun to ebb, with a slight decline in sales adjusted for inflation, but officials say customer and vendor retention efforts in Iowa have helped the state’s markets so far evade such a fate.

Paul Ovrom, administrator of the Farmers Market Nutrition Program through Iowa’s Department of Agriculture, said the biggest challenge has been finding enough producers to participate in the state’s roughly 165 farmer’s markets, especially in the smaller markets.

“Still, sales haven’t necessarily gone down in Iowa, proving that perhaps we’re bucking the trend going on,” Ovrom said.

Downtown Des Moines Farmers Market director Kelly Foss said figuring out ways to ensure incremental growth each year is crucial to the market’s success as it enters its 40th season. A large part of that, she said, is providing products unavailable else-

where and rotating in different items to keep consumers interested.

The Farmers Market Nutrition Program, implemented statewide last year, tapped into a subset of the population that previously may not have visited farmers markets, Ovrom said. Vouchers are distributed to low-income mothers and seniors and families with infants and children found to be at nutritional risk.

Ovrom said recipients can then use the vouchers at local farmers markets, in an effort to encourage consumption of fresh produce.

Maury Wills, who serves as the bureau chief of agricultural diversification and market development within the Iowa Department of Agriculture, said production of staple farmers market items like peppers, strawberries and other fruits and vegetables shouldn’t change drastically this year. A steady increase in high tunnel farming in areas throughout the state, however, has allowed some growers to get their crops to market earlier and extend their season, Wills said. The sooner produce hits the stand, Wills said, the higher the demand and the better the price growers can ask for their product.
