Manley

Get to know your supervisor candidates

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

Two candidates are running in a local race in this year’s November elections — Clarke County Board of Supervisors District No. 1.

Bill Black and Myron Manley were both given questionnaires about why they’re running for the position. The candidates are listed in alphabetical order.

Here are their answers.

Bill Black Tell me about yourself.

I was born and raised in Clarke County and graduated from Murray High School. I understand the needs of Clarke County. I am active in a number of county and community organizations. My wife Carla and I live on our farm in Washington Township. We have been married 41 years and have three wonderful daughters and four grandchildren.

What position are you running for? Why are you running?

I am running for Clarke County Board of Supervisors District No. 1. I would like the opportunity to work with others to make our county a great and safe place to live.

What makes you the best candidate for the position?

I have 40 years of business experience, working with people, getting things done on time and within the budget. When I retired from Doors, Inc., I held the position of vice-president/general manager. I have the time now to take on this challenging position and use my skills towards improving the fu-

ture for everyone in Clarke County.

What would you hope to accomplish if elected?

I will work to provide the essential services needed in the county with the lowest possible cost to the taxpayers, including getting our road and bridge infrastructure back to an acceptable condition.

I am open, approachable, and honest. You can rely on what I say. I will take the time to understand every item we vote on, and be fair with my decision.

Myron Manley Tell me about yourself.

I have proudly served the people of Clarke County for the past 47 years, including the last 12 years on the board of supervisors. Working for 35 years for Clarke County Secondary Roads and being a lifelong resident of Clarke County have played valuable roles during my three terms on the board of supervisors.

My wife Linda and I live east of Osceola where we operate a cow-calf operation.

What position are you running for? Why are you running?

I am running for a fourth term on the Clarke County Board of Supervisors District No. 1. During my time on the board, I have worked hard to provide our county residents the valuable services they need on a daily basis. We must continue to find ways to improve these services and be aware of what lies ahead for our future needs.

TEACHER OF THE YEAR

Mundy receives Masonic award from Grand Lodge of Iowa

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

Teachers don’t go into the education field to get accolades. However, when an educator is honored for his or her work, it is a cause for celebration.

In September, Charlie Mundy, Southwestern Community College (SWCC) high school carpentry and building trades instructor for Osceola, received the 2014 Iowa Masonic Teacher of the Year Award at the 170th annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Iowa in Cedar Rapids.

Overall, it has been a humbling experience for Mundy.

“I don’t plan on getting any awards. I just do what I do every day — working with these kids, trying to give them opportunities,” he said.

Mundy was also locally honored for his work at Clarke’s football game Friday, Oct. 3.

The teacher of the year nomination process began with Russ Johnson and the Woodburn Masonic Lodge.

Mundy of Woodburn has been an instructor at SWCC since November 2006. The Osceola carpentry program has high school students enrolled from the Clarke and Central Decatur school districts.

Lending a hand Mundy said he thinks a lot of the award was based on the

The Iowa Party is the third party ticket Narcisse is running for governor on.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month

By Butch and Susie Gibbs Humeston

October is Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month.

Chances are overwhelming that you have known someone who has died from a sudden cardiac arrest.

Chances are also overwhelming that you aren’t aware what a national crisis we’re in. The Sudden Cardiac Arrest Association is working hard to reverse the odds.

Almost 1,000 Americans each day, some 300,000 each year, are dying from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).

That’s more than those who die from breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, house fires and HIV/Aids combined.

And we’re not talking only about out-of-shape old men. SCA is claiming the lives of young and old, men and women, fit and not-so-fit. The tragedy lies in the fact that only about 7 percent of people who suffer a sudden cardiac arrest are saved, yet we can very easily and very inexpensively save almost all SCA victims.

SCA is an electrical disruption of the heart’s normal rhythm. It’s not the same as a heart attack. The only way to survive a sudden cardiac is for someone to administer CPR and shocks from an automated external

defibrillator (AED). AEDs are cheap (often less than $1,000) and easy to use (open one up and it talks to you), and they should be at least as prevalent as fire extinguishers.

Sadly, AEDs are not always mandated in public places like fire extinguishers are, and you’d probably be hard pressed to find one in your office building or your child’s school.

The Sudden Cardiac Arrest Association wants you to know that this national tragedy can be fixed, and it can be fixed quickly. How? By mandating the placement of simple-to-use AEDs in all public places in your community and mandating simple AED training in schools so that our young people grow up knowing how to use an AED just as surely as they know how to use an iPad. Take time to find out what the policy is in your school system. Find out if there’s an AED in your office. Find out if there’s an AED at your shopping mall and in your gym. If not, find out why not. We simply can’t continue to lose 300,000 Americans each year for lack of a very simple solution.

The Sudden Cardiac Arrest Association needs you to get involved.

For more information about saving lives in your community, go to our website at www.suddencardiacarrest. org. This national crisis has to end.

Property tax reform saves $127.33 million for Iowans

By Rep. Joel Fry

Last week, Gov. Branstad released data from the Iowa Department of Revenue that showed Iowa counties were receiving over $78.33 million in state dollars to back fill the property tax reform package supported by House Republicans in 2013. Couple that with the $49 million in business tax credits that were handed out and you end up with a total of $127.33 million in savings for the taxpayer.

Senate File 295 was signed in 2013 and included several provisions. Division one created what is referred to as the Business Property Tax Credit.

Properties classified as commercial, industrial and railroads are eligible for the credit. The initial appropriation for the credit was $50 million, next year it will be $100 million, and in all subsequent years it will be $125 million.

MUNDY:

By Steve Waterman

Continued from Page 1

Recently, the Osceola Sentinel-Tribune printed a copy of The Fry Times relating to education. It was titled, “Your tax dollars and education funding.”

Since I spent 22 years as a superintendent of schools, education funding caught my attention. About a third of the way through the article, Joel Fry makes the statement, “According to data from the state’s department of education, public funding for education provided an average amount of $9,892 per student from taxpayers during the 2013-14 school year.”

Because of some recent discussions, I knew that the money generated by the state aid formula was close to $6,000. I called the state’s department of education and found out that for

this year, 2014-15, the money generated by the state aid formula is $6,366.

This is a far cry from almost $10,000 stated by our current representative, Joel Fry. Money generated by the state aid formula pays for salaries, services and purchase of most materials.

We are facing an important election. We ask, no, we must demand, that candidates for office are completely open and honest about any writing or spoken comments, whether in campaign advertising or in reports to voters as an elected official. If misleading statements are made on one issue, does it mean misleading statements will be made on other issues?

So I am challenging others to do what I am doing. I am calling out Rep. Joel Fry to identify the more than $3,800 per student that he has written about in The Fry Times.

What makes you the best candidate for this position?

I bring almost five decades of working for the great people of Clarke County. I bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the board. I believe in the fair treatment of all the county taxpayers.

What would you hope to accomplish if elected?

I have and will continue to work for the good of Clarke County and its great people while fighting to hold our tax levies in check. This is something I pledge to continue fighting for. We must continue to improve our courthouse security, as has been regulated by our judges and judicial system. And, every day, I will work to keep and expand our services while not adding to our residents’ tax burdens.

Fry receives Northey endorsement This is an endorsement letter for Rep. Joel Fry, R-Osceola, from Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey.

“Dear House District 27, Please join me in supporting Rep. Joel Fry for re-election to the Iowa House on Nov. 4.

I have worked with Rep. Fry on issues important to Iowa farm families — doing what we can to encourage the next generation of family farmers,

work the students in the program do for the local community. Every spring break, the students will volunteer to travel and build a house in a disaster relief area. They have traveled to Texas, Louisiana, Joplin, Mo., and more.

Locally, they have built a wheelchair ramp and helped with CROSS Ministries.

Construction on the 12th carpentry trades house is currently taking place in the country club area of Osceola. The houses are ideal for a young family starting out or an elderly couple looking to downsize.

The house is in a partnership with Clarke County Develop-

Division two of the bill reduced the maximum growth percent because of revaluation on existing residential and agricultural property from four percent to three percent.

Additionally, this division provided for a rollback of commercial, industrial and railroad property of 95 percent in assessment year 2013 and 90 percent thereafter. A rollback is the percent of the property’s value that is subject

to tax. This is the division that also created the standing fund appropriation to reimburse local governments for the loss in revenue caused by the new rollback rate.

Division three of the bill created a new property tax classification beginning in assessment year 2015 called human habitat commercial property.

This classification encompasses apartments, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.

The new classification is assigned a rollback percentage of 86.25 for assessment year 2015. That rollback then decreases by 3.75 percentage points annually through 2021.

In assessment year 2022, the rollback will equal whatever the residential rollback is each year.

ment Corporation.

“They all kind of run together,” Mundy said while laughing. “… Each one, even though the houses might be similar, they all have different personalities.”

Working with students Mundy said he likes teaching high school students because they are just getting ready to enter the real world.

“To me, that’s a very impressionable time. It was for me when I was in school,” he said. “I feel it’s a privilege to do what I do and to help these young folks maybe pursue a career, whether it’s in construction or not.

But, try to figure life a little bit through building a house and doing the volunteering and community service that we do.”

ing the state in Washington, D.C. Right now, those same people, as well as other local politicians, are still in office.

“We have stagnation issues, growth issues, challenges facing education,” Narcisse said. “Now, we have a strong foundation, but even then we see much of urban Iowa decaying, and a lot of areas in rural Iowa are dying. So, we need solutions to these challenges.”

Iowa Party Narcisse said a new solution could be found through the Iowa Party — a new state-based political party. He said the party could focus and concentrate resources on local elections and where money is spent.

“We call it the Iowa Party. It could just as easily be called the accountability and governance party or the Iowa watchdog party,” he said.

Even Narcisse’s cards that he

hands out to people state, “End the Branstad era. Restore Iowa to her people.”

Narcisse said the Iowa Party won’t be like the Libertarian Party during November elections. Change will start at the county level.

“Our goal is to challenge incumbents during the primary seasons, as Republicans and as Democrats,” he said. “That’s why we encourage people who support the Iowa Party to be more supportive in the form of membership, and then to stay Republicans and Democrats, participate in those caucuses.

And, most important, enter those primaries. Now, even the most powerful legislators are vulnerable come primary season.”

that was submitted in July made him a valid candidate through the Iowa Party.

One of the issues Narcisse hopes to bring attention to is the retention of Iowa’s young professionals and assisting them with the high cost of a college education.

His other points of emphasis on the trip were eliminating taxes that discouraged building in the cities and encouraged urban sprawl across rural Iowa, state regulation and legalization of medical and recreational marijuana and encouraging personal responsibility for those in power positions and everyday Iowans.

Stagnation Narcisse said, a little more than 20 years ago, Iowans woke up to Terry Branstad as governor and Tom Harkin and Chuck Grassley as senators represent-

A check presentation for a $5,000 Walmart grant is held at Osceola Senior Center. Fifty Walmart employees contributed more than 250 hours in food pantry painting and cleaning at the senior center to help qualify for the grant. The senior center board said they appreciate the grant and can use the funding. Pictured, from left, are Tammy Otto assistant manager of the senior center, Janie Hatfield with the food pantry, Mary Hembry, organizer, Jeremy Cromer, Walmart assistant manager, and Anthony Fleming, Walmart manager.

Appreciation day for Farmers’ Market shoppers Saturday, Sept. 20, was another appreciation day for customers at Osceola Farmers’ Market on the courthouse square with music provided by Tawny Waske.

The day began with light showers and cold breezes, but by mid morning, the sun began peeking out and the cold front moved on causing everyone to shed their jackets. It was a good market day and customers were still shopping when the noon whistle blew.

Pictured is Deloris Hardy.

Congratulations to Deloris Hardy whose name was drawn for the free box of goodies donated by the 11 vendors present.

Osceola Farmers’ Market still convenes on Saturday mornings from 8 a.m. to noon and Tuesdays from 3 – 6 p.m.

The last market day will be Saturday, Oct. 18. Then, on Nov. 8 and Nov. 22, there will be inside market at Osceola Senior Center on the west side of the square.

ASB offers mobile deposit by smart phone Check deposits are the latest service to be added to American State Bank’s (ASB) mobile application, “Touch Banking.”

The service, labeled Quick Pic Deposit, which was added to ASB’s list of mobile banking services on Sept. 29, has been well received.

“We’ve been pleased with the response rates,” said David Bemis, marketing manager at American State Bank.

Bemis said deposits were being made in the first week of its release and no issues have been reported.

To make a mobile deposit, ASB customers must download American State Bank’s mobile banking app onto their smart phone device after signing up for internet banking.

Once the application is installed and opened, ASB customers merely have to choose which ASB account they want to deposit their check, enter the amount of the check, take a photo of the front and back of the endorsed check, verify the information and click “make a deposit.”

Within seconds, the

check information is verified and admitted for processing. Bemis said if a deposit is made by 1:30 p.m., the funds are available the same business day. If a deposit is made after 1:30 p.m., it is available the next business day.

Bemis said there are some security measures taken to protect both the consumer and the bank.

For instance users have a daily deposit limit of $2,500. Also, part of the verification process validates the check’s routing number, ensures endorsement, that the magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) or number sequence on the check is in proper form and makes sure the check is not a duplicate deposit.

“We haven’t had any issues with the quality or validity of the checks deposited,” Bemis said. “We are also doing a review of mobile deposits on our end.”

Another successful third grade field day

Contributed photo

Pictured are young livestock producers from across southern and central Iowa.

Livestock producers travel to Nebraska Young livestock producers from across southern and central Iowa embarked on a two day bus trip to Nebraska sponsored by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach’s Beginning and Young Livestock Producers Network.

A total of 32 participants gathered at the Cass County Extension Office, boarded a charter bus and headed Weber Feedyards in Dorchester, Neb. Other stops throughout the first day included the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center and Gottsch Cattle Company. There was an overnight stay in Grand Island, Neb., where participants enjoyed dinner at the Texas T-Bone sponsored by Merck Animal Health.

The second day began

with a tour the Cargill Packing Plant in Schuyler, Neb. Other stops also included Mead Cattle Company, lunch sponsored by Settke Agri- Services and Engineering and a tour of the Wahoo Locker and Ohnoutka Farms.

This two day event gave beef producers the opportunity to see different feedlot operations and a cow/ calf family farm. Participants were able to hear and see what research is being collected at the U.S. Meat Center along with a full tour of the Cargill Beef plant.

Most importantly, this trip gave all participants the opportunity to network with others by sharing thoughts, ideas and goals.

Tony Miler, Clarke County beef producer said,

“The Cargill plant was really neat to tour on a corporate level, but visiting the Wahoo Meat Locker was really impressive. Seeing a young entrepreneur headed in the same direction on a smaller scale gave it more of a personal feel.”

The Beginning and Young Livestock Producers Network (BYLPN) is a strategic initiative of Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. Their objective is to develop a network of beginning and young livestock producer peer groups across the state to both educate and mentor.

If you would like to learn more about the BYLPN or other educational opportunities contact the Clarke County Extension Office at 641-342-3316.

Wednesday, Sept. 17, marked the sixth annual third grade field day for all the third-graders in Clarke County.

Five classes from Clarke Community School and one class from Murray arrived on buses at Clarke County Fairgrounds 10 a.m. on Wednesday morning and unloaded into the show arena at Clarke County Fairgrounds to organize and get ready for an educational ag learning day.

The weather was comfortable with the sun shining and a gentle breeze and students were dressed right for the occasion.

Several volunteers from Clarke County Farm Bureau board and Osceola FFA members worked together unloading green, small square hay bales donated by Brian Eddy for the occasion and setting them in a semi-circle at each station for the students seating.

Seven learning stations were set up for classes to

circulate to every 15 minutes. Those stations included presenters from Agriland FS on growing corn and soybeans, Valley of the Moon Turkey Hatchery on turkeys, Farmers Coop on animal nutrition, Clarke County Conservation/Osceola FFA on soil erosion, Jack VanLaar from Decatur County Extension on using a GPS, Murray FFA on farm equipment safety and Jennifer Pollard with Clarke County Extension on animal safety and uses of animal by products.

Every station had visuals and hands-on learning opportunities.

After visiting the seven stations the students, teachers, chaperones, presenters and bus drivers were treated to hamburgers grilled

by Joe Miller and Jeff Pollard with Clarke County Cattlemen, carrots from Walmart, apples and buns from HyVee and cookies from Subway.

Board volunteers served the food moving the line right along. It was a well-or-

ganized, closely scheduled day. A thank you to Randy and Tammy Barnard for doing most of the planning and organizing. Thanks to Bart Griffith, Kelly Curnes, John Carson, John Siefkas, Harold Fuller, Tim Prunty and Leola Boyce for their volunteer work in setting up, serving, and cleaning up making the day go smoothly.

Thank you to Cindy Hall, education program manager from the home office, for coming and following one of the classes through the whole morning and making positive remarks about the experience and helping serve lunch.

Thank you to Clarke County Cattlemen for grilled hamburgers. A thank you to Clarke County Fair board for allowing the use of the facilities for the learning experience for the students. Thank you to the third grade teachers – Sue Body, Fran Christian, Brittany Grimm, Becca Kedley, Jennifer Swartz and Connie Flaherty.

Osceola Big Chief FFA at Iowa State Fair This is an FFA article from Clarke Community High School.

“The Iowa State Fair attracts thousands of people from all across the state and even from different parts of the country. The fair gives kids and adults the opportunity to try new foods, ride rides and check out the different kinds of agricultural exhibits Iowa has to offer.

Two of our very own FFA members had the opportunity to attend the fair and be a part of the action.

Ann Taylor was chosen to be a Grandstand Usher and helped on the ground floor of the grandstand by helping people to their seats and answering any questions they had. She was also able to volunteer in the Animal Learning Center by taking care of and feeding the animals.

Taylor said, “Working at the State Fair through FFA helped me make connections that I can use the rest of my life. I would recommend anyone to sign up and join the experience!”

Our very own Carter Cooley was also able to be at the state fair and show.

She showed her Cross Bred Market Gilt and Purebred Hampshire Breeding Gilt.

Cooley told us, “Showing at the Fair gives me more experience with showing pigs than I could have asked for.”

The state fair was a success and our chapter is proud to have students involved in such an important state event.”

7 Swartz, Kjellsen to perform in Simpon College’s ‘Carousel’

CHURCH DIRECTORY

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Simpson College will showcase the first ever coproduction between Theatre Simpson and Simpson College Opera. Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Carousel” is a favorite and some say it is one of the best musicals of the 20th century.

Clarke Community High School alumni Laura Swartz and Stacie Kjellsen are both in the ensemble in the show.

This is a synopsis of the show.

In a Maine coastal village toward the end of the 19th century, the swaggering, carefree carnival barker Billy Bigelow captivates and marries the naive millworker Julie Jordan.

Billy loses his job as he learns that Julie is pregnant and, desperately intent upon providing a decent life for his family, he is coerced into being an accomplice to a robbery.

Caught in the act and facing the certainty of prison, he takes his own life and is sent “up there.”

Billy is allowed to return to Earth for one day 15 years later, and he encounters the daughter he never knew. She is a lonely, friendless teenager, her father’s reputation as a thief and bully having haunted her throughout her young life. Billy instills in both the child and her mother a sense of hope and digni-

Faith and suicide

By Fr. David Polich

The light is on the other side, but she does not know how to get there. She is a woman of faith and intellectually knows there is light on the other side — and even within her. She does believe God is with her.

But she cannot easily feel any of this, and the darkness constantly threatens to overcome her.

Humans frequently think things are hopeless because we don’t personally have the answers. We need to reassure one another that there is hope beyond our limited sight.

There is light, and the wall is not an insurmountable barrier. It is OK to turn to doctors or counselors or clergy for help. An illness is an illness, whether physical or mental. It should not be a cause of shame or silence.

We can do something about it. And we can surround one another with care and concern so no one feels isolated, abandoned or alone.

Christians have the example and presence of Jesus, who especially reached out to those in physical, mental or spiritual pain. His ministry was to those who were “lost” for whatever reason and those pushed off to the fringes of society. His love still has that outreach. The efforts of his followers should do the same.

St. Bernard Catholic Church

The recent death of Robin Williams brought the tragedy of suicide to the attention of the country — at least for a moment.

We still find it extremely difficult to talk about.

A television tribute to Williams recently did not even mention how he died, thus losing an opportunity to say something meaningful to millions of viewers.

At a funeral I attended not long ago for a teenager who took her own life, no one addressed the issue of how she died. With a hundred young people there, I wanted to stand up in the back and yell, “We need to talk about this!”

I wrote something in our parish bulletin after Williams’ death. That very day an old friend in western Iowa was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Suddenly, suicide was not an “issue,” but a personal loss. People I care for deeply are devastated, and a good man is gone from this world. Why? Does it have to be so?

There was a time when those who took their own lives were not buried in church cemeteries.

That was when people knew little or nothing about depression, addictions or other mental illnesses. We still have trouble accepting the fact of mental illness or understanding it if it is not part of our own experience.

One friend who has experienced such pain says she has a “wall” in her life. On her side of the wall all is darkness.

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Community colleges receive federal grant to support job training efforts An innovative plan developed by Iowa’s community colleges to train thousands of workers in high-demand fields is being recognized with a $15 million grant announced recently by the U.S. Department of Labor.

A consortium, consisting of all 15 Iowa community colleges, jointly applied for funding to build training capacity in the areas of information technology, health care, utilities and manufacturing – also known as the IHUM Network.

Grant funds will be used statewide to create more than 45 additional training certificates in the IHUM targeted areas.

Southwestern Community College’s (SWCC) portion of the grant, $1 million, will be used to assist in the implementation of a high-tech simulation lab on-campus for the college’s esteemed nursing programs—licensed practical nursing and registered nursing—as well as SWCC’s health-related continuing education programs.

The simulation lab will include full-body wireless patient simulators, which will enable SWCC instructors to enhance learning opportunities found in classroom and clinical settings by creating high risk scenarios, such as heart attacks, head injuries, respiratory arrest or trauma from accidents.

Dr. Susan White, SWCC director of nursing, said the simulation lab will be an invaluable educational resource for students.

“A simulation lab will provide students a safe and realistic environment to experience nursing scenarios,” White explained. “This will assist students tremendously by allowing them to refine their clinical decision-making skills without adverse consequences, in-turn

Frisbee golf: A ribbon cutting is held at the new Frisbee golf course Friday, Oct. 3. The 18-hole Frisbee golf course is

located north of town by the adult and youth ball complex. This was the third attempt at a ribbon cutting because the previous two scheduled were rained out.

Cover crop and soil health meeting well attended

Contributed photo

Pictured are crop samples.

Brant presented how he can produce 190 bushel corn without adding any nutrients. His presentation showed the cover crops that increases nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, copper and magnesium, all nutrients needed in the soil to produce a healthy crop.

He said, throughout the years, he has had failure in the cover crops he had planted but it only enforced the need to try others the next year. He recommended the audience to try cover crops on a small scale first, but to get a goal in mind of what you are wanting the cover crops to do for you.

He talked about the different species that can enhance the soils organic matter, improve infiltration, increase or scavenge nitrogen, improve magnesium or copper and increase forage for grazing.

People have read they need to terminate the growing crops at least two weeks in advance before planting.

However in Brant’s experience, he said if you can’t plant quickly, especially before the next rain, the fields may stay too wet to be able to plant because of the heavy residue. He suggest-

ed, if planting into tall species such as rye or triticale, that you roll it to crimp the stem and plant immediately.

Clarke and Decatur County Farm Bureaus were proud to help bring this workshop to producers. The meeting was made possible through a SHARE Grant offered by the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation.

Additional key sponsorship partners included Clarke, Decatur, Lucas and Wayne Soil and Water Conservation Districts, Natural Resource Conservation Service, Practical Farmers of Iowa, Iowa State University Extension, Rathbun Land and Water Alliance and Green Cover Seeds. Warren Keeler provided his farm as a working demonstration.

This is Keeler’s third year for planting cover crops and

he has made changes each year.

Last fall, he planted wheat with the plan to harvest the wheat then build some terraces during the summer, then plant cover crops in late summer.

His farming practices are known, and when asked if he would be willing to use his field for the cover crop tour, he agreed since it is along the highway and easy to access.

He got the wheat harvested and the terraces built, but then it started raining and four inches of rain put him behind on planting. He did get the cover crop of a seven-seed cocktail planted, but it had not begun to emerge until a week after the tour when he started seeing some of the seedlings peeking through.

Clarke and Decatur County Farm Bureaus teamed up and sponsored a cover crop and soil health informational meeting Tuesday, Sept. 15, at Van Wert Community Center.

The increased interest in cover crops showed with the attendance of 64 people, with some producers traveling as far as Marshall, Polk and Wapello counties.

Speakers addressed the latest practices that improve soil health, maintain organic matter and increase productivity.

The meeting began with an outside display and demonstration of a rainfall simulator presented by Marc Zucco, NRCS soil scientist, and Steve Lewis, NRCS resource conservationist. This demonstration replicates how good soil health allows good infiltration and limited runoff.

The meeting continued with a meal funded by the Decatur, Lucas and Wayne County Soil and Water District.

During the meal, a panel of speakers continued sharing their experiences and recommendations when planting cover crops.

Colton Catterton of Corning, NWMC with a master’s degree in cover crops and an emphasis in grazing, talked about different cover crop mixes and their benefits.

He said there are cover crop species that will build soil health, provide nitrogen for the next crop or loosen soil for better infiltration amount other benefits.

Steve McGrew, a producer from Emerson, farms with his three brothers and nephew and had been experimenting with cover crops on a corn and bean rotation since 1993 and strongly urged long term no-till in addition to cover crops.

His experiences have lead him to be able to produce a crop with limited to no extra applied nutrients and he has been most successful using cereal rye, wheat or hairy vetch as cover crops.

Paul Ackley of Taylor County and a member of Practical Farmers first started using rye as a cover crop in 1974.

Taylor spoke on the benefits of cover crops and grazing where he has eliminated all fertilizer on his pastures and through rotation of livestock through paddocks.

With the grazing methods that he uses he has been able to eliminate insecticide on his livestock.

The evening ended with Dave Brant, a long time notill and cover crop user from Ohio. He is well known for his expertise in cover crops and the experiences he has had using cover crops.

His crop rotation is a corn-bean-wheat rotation with “cocktail” mixes used extensively. He showed the results when planting beans in between the corn where the beans are supplying the nitrogen.

providing them with confidence and promoting patient safety.”

The IHUM Network project was one of 71 grants awarded nationwide under this year’s Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grants.

Created in 2009, this is the fourth and final round of TAACCCT grants. The awards are used to support community colleges in developing partnerships with employers to educate and train individuals for in-demand jobs. The IHUM consortium project award is believed to be the largest TAACCCT grant awarded to the state of Iowa from the U.S. Department of Labor.

Dr. Barb Crittenden, SWCC president, feels the teamwork and collaboration of Iowa’s community colleges was a huge asset during the grant process.

“The presidents of Iowa’s 15 community colleges have made a commitment in recent years to working collaboratively on federally funded projects such as this,” Crittenden said. “This grant will allow us [SWCC] to move forward on a project that has been in the planning stages for some time. We are excited about the opportunities the simulation lab will create for students, as well as the potential for partnerships with area health care agencies.”

In addition to the collaboration among community colleges, the IHUM Network project was supported by more than 30 businesses and business associations statewide.

Hawkeye Community College in Waterloo took the lead in the development and submission of the grant proposal. The funding will be allocated over a four-year time period beginning on Oct. 1, 2014.
