Budget issues could close Greene elementary
The Leader

North Butler
Community
Schools
Village
Vine
District is facing more budget issues.
Going further into the red after last
year, administrators are considering
What Cheer Paper
shutting down the Greene elementary school.
The district went into negative
numbers for the first time in FY
2012 (-$43,616). Then, this fall,
they dropped to -$213,000 for FY
2013.
New superintendent Joel Foster
hasn’t had time to figure out how
they went further into the hole.
“I’m just trying to figure out where
we are now, and where we’re going
to be in the future,” he said.
A public meeting is scheduled
Monday at 7 p.m. in Allison.
The district will have to go back
to the School Board Review Committee Dec. 16, but first have to
complete a Corrective Action Plan
by Nov. 14. Whether or not to close
the Greene elementary building will
seemingly have to be decided upon
by then.
“We’re just kicking around ideas,
but we have got to make adjustments,” Foster said.
The Iowa Board of Education did
close down Russell School District
in 2008 for budget issues. The IBE
has the authority to close districts
that go negative two years in a row.
Closing down the school would
save the district approximately
$180,000 in operational, custodial,
kitchen and secretarial costs. However, another couple of teachers
would have to be let go, with hopes
of ones retiring.
The Allison building would have
to hold elementary students from
Greene. Due to the influx, seventhand eighth-graders at the middle
school would likely be moved to the
high school building in Greene.
“If that’s what happens is hard to
say, because of lot of things are up
in the air,” Foster said.
Currently, Greene elementary enrolls 170 preschool through fourthgraders.
Queen for a day
Bolin named Dairy Women of the Year at World Expo
Pat Racette
It’s good to be queen, if just for a
little while.
Pam Bolin was named Dairy
Women of the Year. And on the first
day of October, she was treated as
royalty at the World Dairy Expo in
Madison, Wis.
Wearing a special nametag and
flower, Bolin likely got more attention at the international exposition
than the 40 previous years she attended.
“When I got up Wednesday, I felt
like the little girl Annie,” Bolin said.
“I kept going, Oh, my goodness, oh
my goodness. It just was a lot of fun.
“I think the neatest thing about the
award is that you’re selected by your
peers. And it’s amazing to think that
a cow created by God to feed us
brings all these people together from
all over the world.”
Over 77,000 people, including
5,000 international, were at the Alliant Energy Center for the five-day
gathering of everything dairy. Brand
new barns, equipment, software, robotics, calf facilities and cow shows
were all part of the annual dairy exhibition.
Bolin found out about the award
in late March, and was honored
at the Dinner with the Stars Gala,
along with the Dairyman of the
Year, Dairy Industry Person of the
Year and International Person of the
Year.
She also met up with former
winners of the Women of the Year
Award before the dinner. She is the
second Iowan to earn the award, as

the English Channel, December 15, 1944. There will be NO CHARGE for the concert. Those attending need to bring a lawn chair.
Anyone wishing to make a donation to support the concert, should contact Dave Smith, Allison, 319-404 7424.
BOLIN from page 1
Lady, was the first.
Bolin’s 25 years on the Swiss Valley
Farms board and constant promotion
of dairy also played a big factor, as
well as being the first woman to serve
as chairman of a U.S. dairy cooperative.
Bolin and husband, Dave, have operated Beaver Creek Farm, located just
east of Clarksville, for 35 years. They
have a herd of 70 dairy cows, and have
collected numerous awards over the
years, including the Ralph Keeling
Dairy Leadership Award, the highest
award given for service in advancing
Iowa’s dairy industry.
Bolin also has served on the Executive Council for the Dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences
at Iowa State, Midwest Dairy Association board, the Iowa Dairy Nutrition
Advisory Committee, National Dairy
Board, Dairy Management Inc. board,
Iowa Farm Bureau committees, National Dairy Council Speakers Bureau,
Butler County Dairy Promoters, various youth mentoring roles in school,
church and 4-H groups.

Is Joni Ernst
Earnest?
The first duty of Government is to
protect the Powerless against the
Powerful.
–Code of Hammurabi, 1754 B.C.
This ruling is so basic and so universal that it applies to all civilizations.
And what about the richest nation
in history, the nation that best affords
equality, justice and opportunity for
all? Here, we see the Powerful using
their immense riches to expand their
hold on government. With colossal
spending on campaigns and lobbying,
they have bought up the GOP.
Joni Ernst says she represents Iowa
values and is going to work for hardworking Iowans. But when she talks
about her intentions, it looks like she
stands for the opposite. She holds
beliefs that support the financial and
corporate elites; the millionaires and
billionaires who are determined to
have dominion over our politics and
economy.
Ernst advocates privatizing Social
Security, cutting back on regulations,
doing away with the EPA, flattening
taxes, reducing the safety net, changing Medicare to a voucher system,
voting away Obamacare, eliminating
the Department of Education and not
raising the minimum wage.
Instead of making our world a better place, these measures would serve
to further empower the Powerful and
confine the Powerless. The poor and
the fading middle class would see
more income disparity and less protection and fairness.
It is manifestly undemocratic to
have the Powerful running the country
for their purposes.
Inequality, insecurity, exploitation
and pollution are not Iowa values.

Why I trust
Jack Hatch for
governor
I joined Sen. Jack Hatch because
Iowa must move forward.
We can do better.
We need a governor who will use
new ideas and technology to lead the
state.
We need a governor to help our
kids succeed in a changing economy.
Hatch will give every child a great
start with universal pre-K programs.
We need someone to make Iowa
communities prosper. The best jobs
come from home-grown businesses
where profits stay in Iowa and create
local opportunity.
We need to work together. Hatch
will raise the minimum wage, and
push for jobs to pay a living wage.
We need a leader when it comes to

OPINION / EDITORIAL
Gender Balance on
Butler County Boards
and Commissions
Dear Editor,
What does gender balance on boards
and commissions mean?
As per Gender Balance Law Chapter
162 69.16A passed by the Iowa Legislature in 2009, to be in effect as of Jan.
1, 2012:
All appointive boards, commissions,
committees and councils of the state established by the Code...shall be gender
balanced. No person shall be appointed or reappointed to any board, commission, committee, or council ...if that
appointment or reappointment would
cause one gender to be to be greater
than one-half the membership...plus
one if ...composed of an odd number of
members.
Now it’s 2014, almost three years later. The good news is that three of Butler County Boards and Commissions
appointed by supervisors are gender
balanced – Board of Health, Board of
Review and Conservation Board.
However, more gender balancing
needs to happen, as total appointees
are 19 percent women and 81 percent
men. The Boards and Commissions not
gender balanced are adjustment, civil
service, compensation, planning and
zoning, veterans affairs and compensation in eminent domain.
Why should gender balance matter?
• Population in Butler is slightly more
than half female
• Ensures that issues, perspectives and
needs of women and men are equally
represented
• Facilitates individual women and
men to reach leadership potential
• Decision-making is an important
form of participation in county government
• Evidence in the private sector indicates that gender balance in top level
decision-making roles increases board
performance
• Supervisors would provide real
leadership to the public and private sectors on views and benefits of women in
leadership roles
What should you do?
• Contact supervisors and encourage
gender balance for future appointments
• Encourage women to apply for positions and serve
• Contact the Butler County Courthouse in person, by phone or online
(butlercoiowa.org, search Boards and
Commissions, select item three) for
further information
• Find out what qualifications are
needed
• Fill out an application now; as many
terms expire at the end of the year

Cool today,
disconnected tomorrow
I grew up thinking I was all that, and
a bag of chips.
I’m not really sure what that means,
but I thought I was pretty cool.
Just in fourth grade, I had made the
select soccer team, and ran around the
kitchen and living room in ecstasy.
I had everything in order, too. In the
morning, I would wake up at 6 a.m.,
shower and watch ESPN SportsCenter. Then once my dad left for work, I
would use his bathroom and hair spray
to create the perfect wave.
Eventually taking the bus to school, I
had a particular friend to sit by and look
for Waldo in his Where’s Waldo books.
School was fun, too, as girls liked to
flirt and friends were funny.
Life was great, or even grand one
might say.
On a lot of weekends I would play in
soccer tournaments, usually winning a
trophy or medal and throwing it in my
closet. I was fairly good at soccer, so
that probably helped too.
Life went on like this for some time.
Sure, moving from elementary to
middle school was a bit stressful, but I
eventually adapted a similar routine –
of course, still going with the untouchable hair wave – literally, don’t touch.
A steady stream of soccer, friends and
school was my life. But my true colors
were beginning to shine. I was still getting good grades, playing on the good
soccer squad and walking proud, but all
that was about to change.
Ya see, my first day in high I school, I
was suddenly at the bottom of the pecking list. And the worst part, I couldn’t
even see an armpit hair trying to grow.
People called me Runt, because I was
one of the smallest kids in my class. I
hadn’t grown since fifth grade.
And on top of that, rebellion had become part of my life.
My role as the cat’s pajamas (I still
don’t know what this means) was over.
And my disobedience made sure the
sentence was long. My soccer skills
began to deteriorate, my grades went
down and I was hanging with people I
shouldn’t have been.
The lifestyle went on as an underclassman, and by the time I was a junior, I was cut from the soccer squad I
had once lived for.

Tribune-Journal and the Clarksville Star.
I ended up playing junior varsity soccer all four years of high school. And to
top off my storied career, my JV coach,
who also was my coach in 8 and under
recreation, kicked me off the team.
Yeah, I must’ve hit rock bottom at
that point, but I don’t think I did.
After the coach gave me the boot,
I looked at the talented young freshman and sophomores on my team, and
walked off almost proud to finally be
away from it all. I stopped liking that
coach a long time ago anyway, I knew
all he really cared about was winning.
So, I was preparing for a new chapter
called college. Man, I was hoping college would be different.
Propane industry
forecasts
are positive
The propane industry is reporting a
positive winter outlook.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration report projected warmer
winter temperatures, and a 34 percent reduction in heating bills for
propane-heated homes in the Midwest compared with last winter.
The report also showed propane
stocks in the Gulf Coast and Midwest were 10 million barrels, or 17
percent higher, than last year for the
same period.
Iowa Crops & Weather Report
Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey
DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of
Agriculture Bill Northey today commented on the Iowa crop progress
and condition report released by the
USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service. The report is released
weekly from April through October.
“Heavy rains across the southeastern two-thirds of Iowa early last week
kept farmers out of the fields for several days and as a result we remain
well behind the five-year average with
only 19 percent of corn and 61 percent
of soybeans harvested,” Northey said.
“The dry weather the last several days
has been very helpful and farmers will
be working long hours to get the crop
in when conditions allow.”
The weekly report is also available
on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website
at www.IowaAgriculture.gov or on
USDA’s site atwww.nass.usda.gov/ia.
The report summary follows here:
CROP REPORT
Fieldwork stalled early in the week
due to rain, but farmers were able to
harvest during the rest of the week
ending October 19, 2014, according
to the USDA, National Agricultural
Statistics Service. Overall there were
4.2 days suitable for fieldwork. Most
farmers reported harvesting soybeans
while waiting for corn to dry down in
the fields. Activities for the week included fall tillage, manure and fertilizer application, biomass baling, and
hauling grain.
Topsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 4 percent short, 78
percent adequate, and 18 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 1
percent very short, 5 percent short,
80 percent adequate, and 14 percent
surplus. Southwest and south central
Iowa were the wettest with over onethird of their topsoil in surplus condition.
Ninety-six percent of Iowa’s corn
acreage was mature, 3 days behind
the five-year average. Corn harvest
advanced 9 percentage points to 19
percent complete, 18 days behind the
normal pace. Moisture content of corn
at harvest was estimated at 21 percent.
Seventy-seven percent of the corn
crop was reported in good to excellent
condition. With almost the entire soybean crop dropping leaves or beyond,
harvest reached 61 percent complete,
9 days behind normal. Seventy-four
percent of the soybean acreage was in
good to excellent condition.

points from the previous week. Offfarm grain storage availability was 92
percent adequate to surplus. On-farm
grain storage availability was 87 percent adequate to surplus.
Pasture and hay have had excellent
regrowth this fall with plenty of rain
and cooler than normal temperatures.
Pasture condition remained steady at
66 percent good to excellent, while
hay and roughage supplies were estimated at 97 percent adequate to surplus. Livestock conditions were reported as ideal.

in Christ. The movie has a “Chariots Of

“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in
his field; it is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest
of shrubs...”
- Matthew 13:31-32a
I recently had the opportunity to accompany a school field trip to the Fossil and
Prairie Park in Rockford, IA. I had been there once before, and I remembered being amazed by the detail on the fossils, and by the sheer amount of them. Nearly
every rock underfoot is a fossil, or a fossil remnant, though there are large shards of
clay tile, and yellowish orange rocks that look like they have a lot of iron in them
there as well.
As the kids and I were walking around the rocky paths looking for fossils, I noticed that many of the kids were picking up the largest rocks they could find. “Are
these the fossils?” they would ask excitedly. I handed these kids very small fossils,
no bigger than the size of my fingernail. “These are the fossils. Think small. The
big rocks aren’t what we’re looking for,” I told them.
And then it dawned on me how often I expect God to move in big, obvious,
earth-shattering ways. I wondered how often I am the one thinking too big, or waiting for something so profound. And when I do that, I’m missing the small miracles
that are all around me: the laughter of children, the sunrise so beautiful it takes your
breath away, a good night’s rest, a hug from someone I care about.
Jesus mentioned the mustard seed because it was small and easy to overlook. But
that tiny seed accomplished amazingly important things. We need to think small
in our faith – look for small movements of God, and share small acts of kindness.
Mother Teresa once wrote, “We can do no great things, only small things with great
love.” It really is the small things...and those small things are usually much bigger,
more important, more revolutionary than we first realize.

Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will
have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil
and put your sudoku savvy to the test!
Here’s How It Works:
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3
boxes. To solve a sudoku,
the numbers 1 through 9
must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once
in each row, column and
box. You can figure out
the order in which the
numbers will appear by
using the numeric clues
already provided in the
boxes. The more numbers
you name, the easier it
gets to solve the puzzle!

A Spooky Snack and Drink for Halloween
Halloween treats
that are equal parts
spooky and delicious
Halloween parties are commonplace. Full of frightful decorations
and spooky lighting, a good Halloween party also features food that
plays up the theme of the evening.
Therefore, Halloween party hosts
will need to get creative with the
type of foods they serve to ensure a
“spook-tacular” time.
With a little ingenuity, otherwise
mundane foods can be transformed
into something worthy of a second
look. Here are some creative ways
to turn ordinary food items into Halloween-inspired fare for your next
get-together.
Ghosts in the Pumpkin Patch
Using bananas and clementines
or small oranges, you can create
the appearance of ghosts haunting a field of pumpkins. Peel both
the oranges and the bananas and
place small chocolate chips into the
rounded “head” of the banana to
create a ghost face. Use a piece of
green gummy candy or something
that will hold its shape to create
“stems” for the orange pumpkins.
Place the ghosts and pumpkins on a
platter or in a bowl for a healthy and
festive snack.
Witches’ Brew
Create a punch recipe that bubbles
and looks like a witch’s evil concoction. Put two quarts of lime sherbet
for a green punch (or orange sherbet
if you prefer an orange punch) in a
punch bowl. Add a two-liter bottle
of ginger ale and one can of pineapple juice. Feel free to float “eyeball”
peeled grapes or gummy worms in
the brew for a more authentic effect.
If available, add a piece of dry ice to
the punch so it bubbles and fizzes.
Sugar Spiderwebs
Spiders and their sticky webs go
hand-in-hand with Halloween. Create spiderwebs that can be used to
adorn cookies and cupcakes and
give them an extra scary flair.
Use a template of a spiderweb and
place this template under a piece of
waxed paper to serve as your guide.
Use store-bought or homemade
royal icing to pipe out the shape of
the spiderweb on top of the waxed
paper. Allow to dry until completely hardened, then peel off the paper.
Repeat the process for as many spiderwebs as you need. You can use
these spiderwebs as garnish for a
variety of baked goods, or they can
be eaten on their own.
Ghoulish Graveyard
What would Halloween be without a haunted graveyard? With a
few tasty ingredients, you can recreate this classic look in a rich dessert.
Crush graham crackers and mix
with melted butter and sugar to
create a cookie crust. Press into the
bottom of a baking pan. Prepare
some chocolate pudding to pour
on top of the crust and allow it to
grow firm. Then sprinkle crushed
chocolate cookies on top to create
the appearance of soil. Push some
rounded-edge, oblong cream-filled
cookies into the pudding to serve
as tombstones. Decorate with candy
worms, gummy skeletons and any
other candy items that can add to
the look. Black licorice sticks poked
with black licorice strings can look
like dead trees.
Scary Grin
Turn a whole watermelon into a
jack-o’-lantern and fill with fruit
salad. This makes for a refreshing
treat and provides an alternative to
candy. Cut the watermelon as you
would a pumpkin and hollow out
the insides to use for the salad. Add
sliced berries, grapes, apples, pears,
and any other fruits you desire.

(Family Features) If your family’s Halloween consists of pumpkin carving,
trick-or-treating and transforming your
home into a haunted house, you’ll be
happy to know that the “double, double, toil and trouble” doesn’t have to
stop there. You can add a little extra hocus pocus to your season by brewing up
these chillingly creative treats with the
whole family.
The Monster Mash Float and Paranormal Pudding are two ghoulishly
good treats that kids and adults alike
will love, and they’re easy to make.
The fun is all in the Limited Edition
TruMoo Orange Scream milk. Inspired
by an orange frozen pop with vanilla ice cream, this new creamy orange
milk is so frightfully delicious, it’s sure
to make you scream. Because it’s made
with wholesome low-fat white milk, no
artificial growth hormones or high fructose corn syrup, and is brought to you
by your local trusted TruMoo dairy,
you can feel great about serving it to
your family.
TruMoo Orange Scream is delicious
as an ingredient in your favorite Halloween treats or served by itself. Just
make sure to drink it fast – it might disappear into the night like the headless
horseman.

North Butler boys runners-up in Corn
Bowl Conference cross country meet
MANLY – The senior trio of Caleb
Wedeking, Jerod Ballhagen and Brandon Heuer earned all-conference cross
country honors at the Corn Bowl Conference meet held Thursday, Oct. 16 at
Pioneer Town & Country Golf Course.
The three finished among the top10 to earn all-conference, led by Wedeking’s fourth-place finish in a time
of 17 minutes, 36 seconds.
Ballhagen was sixth, crossing the
finish line in 17:57 and Heuer was
right behind in seventh at two seconds
back (17:59).
“These three, along with the other
runners on the varsity boys’ team
have some very nice times going at
this point of the season,” North Butler
coach Kirk Clark said. “Three are in
the 17s, three in the low 19s and another just over 20 minutes makes this
a strong team to compete on Thursday,
Oct. 23 for a chance to go to the state
Isabel Derdzinski (3rd Place)
cross country meet.”
In the girls’ race, Isabel Derdzinski
brought home an all-conference medal, finishing third in 17:37.
“Isabel finished right behind two
tough runners from West Fork to grab
the spot,” Clark said.
West Fork swept the girls’ and boys’
team titles with the Warhawks’ Talia
Rowe and Peyton Twedt earning the
individual girls and boys title, respectively.
North Butler’s middle school boys’
team took home the final Corn Bowl
Conference team title with Tate Menne
and Trevor Brinkman going 2-3 for the
Bearcats.
Ivee Steere also earned all-conference honors in the girls’ middle school
race by finishing third in 14:26. She
had an outstanding season, finishing
no lower than seventh out of all of her
races.

the council a conceptual budget estimate of
$131,748 for a zero entry wading pool and also
an estimate of $17,897 for a diving stand and
board for the big pool. Pool Tech also recommends tearing out the deck around the big pool
and replacing it with new concrete. The painting of the shower house and entryway into the

Allison Public Library Notes
By Kelly Henrichs and Patty Hummel
NEW RELEASES:
ONE KICK by Chelsea Cain . . .
Kick Lannigan, 21, is a survivor. Abducted at age six in broad daylight,

her family assumed the worst had
occurred. And then Kathleen Lannigan was found, alive, six years
later. And a new form of hell began.

rescued her suggested Kick learn
to fight. Now she uses her martialarts mastery and affiliation with a
wealthy patron to find and rescue
missing children.
BITTERSWEET by Colleen McCullough . . . The four Latimer sisters, two sets of twins are famed
throughout 1920s New South Wales
for their beauty, wit, and ambition.
Yet these vivacious young women

themselves: Edda wants to be a doctor, Tufts wants to organize everything, Grace won’t be told what to
do, and Kitty wishes to be known for
something other than her beauty.
PAINTED HORSES by Malcolm Brooks . . . Catherine Lemay,
a young archeologist surveying a
Montana canyon in the 1950s ahead
of the planned construction of a
major dam, meets a former mounted cavalryman who shows her the
beauty in the stark landscape around
her.
THE DANCING MASTER by Julie Klassen . . . Moving to Devon-
shire only to discover that the village
matriarch has prohibited all dancing,
London dance master Alec Valcourt
finds an unlikely ally in the matriarch’s daughter, a recklessly flirtatious girl who would discover Alec’s
secrets.
TONIGHT AND ALWAYS by
Nora Roberts . . . For a change of
pace, renowned anthropologist Kasey Wyatt takes a job working for
best-selling author Jordan Taylor,
who needs helps researching his latest novel about the Plains Indians.
Hardly the quiet and bookish woman
they were all expecting, Kasey infuses their lives with light and laughter. And suddenly Jordan finds himself drawn to a woman unlike any he
has ever desired, one who is able to
transform his day-to-day existence
into a life worth living.
THE OLEANDER SISTERS by
Elaine Hussey . . . Along the Mississippi Gulf Coast in 1969, the Blake
sisters—Beth, who dreams of pursuing her own destiny, and Emily, a
young mother desperate to escape
her new husband—begin an extraordinary journey after the wake of
Hurricane Camille where they get a
chance to start over.
THE SURRENDER TRILOGY by
Maya Banks . . . Josslyn, a widow,
tries to forget her grief by joining
a secret club that caters to her fantasies, never expecting to find that
Dash, her husband’s best friend, is
also a member, while Dash, long in
love with Josslyn, tries to fulfill her
every desire. Includes LETTING
GO, GIVING IN, and TAKING IT
ALL.
THE $50 HOME MAKEOVER by
Shaunna West . . . 75 fun and creative ideas that will help give your
place the stylish, modern look that
you’ve always wanted--without having to spend a fortune. Each of these
imaginative ideas cost less than $50
to bring to life and will beautify your
space in unexpected ways.
FOR YOUNG READERS:
HOLLOW CITY by Ransom
Riggs . . . Having escaped Miss Peregrine’s island by the skin of their
teeth, Jacob and his new friends
must journey to London, the peculiar
capital of the world. Along the way,
they encounter new allies, a menagerie of peculiar animals, and other
unexpected surprises.
THE NUTS: BEDTIME AT THE
NUT HOUSE by Eric Litwin . . .
Mama Nut says it’s bedtime, but
Hazel Nut and Wally Nut just aren’t
quite ready to stop the fun and go to
bed. Nutty antics ensue when little
Wally and Hazel Nut refuse to go to
sleep and begin singing and howling
at the moon.
THE TREE HOUSE THAT JACK
BUILT by Bonnie Verburg . . . With
ladders, swings, turrets, and elaborate pulley systems everywhere, animals chase one another over, under,
around, and through the tree house
that Jack has built, and when the bell
15
rings, the animals gather for story
time with Jack.
LOADS OF LETTERS by Sarah
L. Schuette . . . How many uppercase Zs do you see? Can you find the
sign that says Welcome? Which vegetables start with the letter B? Test
your spot it skills with Loads of Letters.

Farmers Need Co-ops
October seems to be the month to
celebrate all things agricultural! Last
week’s column dealt with October
being pork month. (By the way, I
made a delicious pork roast in the
crockpot with those new “soups for
cooking” from Campbells! Yummy!)
This week we are celebrating
National Cooperative Month! The
proclamation came through my
email earlier this month after being
signed by Secretary of Agriculture
Tom Vilsack.
Where did the founding idea for
co-ops start? I did a little research
and learned that the Farmers’ Cooperative Elevator of Marcus, Iowa, is
the oldest active cooperative elevator
in the nation! For those of you that
have no clue where Marcus, Iowa, is
located (like me!) it is a small community in Cherokee County. This
cooperative was based on an institution in jolly old England and was
formed on December 12, 1887.
It seems back then railroads were
constructing elevators in villages
along their rail lines and forming a
monopoly offering farmers low prices for their crops and no other options.
Although the Marcus elevator was
set up to be a general purchasing
and shipping business, it was the
immense crop of small grains that
swelled the elevator. This resulted in
the building of a wooden “elevator”
and the resulting name of “farmers’
elevator”. By September 1896, 60
loads of grain were arriving every
work day during harvest.
I did some checking and learned
that corn was harvest by hand. (Actually, I already knew this from old
pictures when I was growing up!)
Horses pulled these small, wooden
wagons which held about 25 bushels
of ear corn. So 60 loads at 25 bushels a load would be roughly 1,500
bushels of corn being delivered
daily to these elevators. In contrast, I
checked with Schmadeke Feed Mill
in Clarksville and was told they average 40,000 – 50,000 bushels of
corn being delivered daily today!
For over 100 years, farmer-owned
co-ops have given farmers a chance
to compete, succeed and grow their
farming businesses. Many farmers
check out grain prices at several coops before delivering; they want the
most per bushel they can get. The
USDA’s web site confirms there are
2.2 million farmers owning 2,300
farmer co-ops in the nation.
In a listing of the top 100 co-ops in
the nation, Iowa can claim 16! Secretary Vilsack states this is proof that
“the state is extremely important to
the nation’s agricultural economy.”
Farmer-owned co-ops across the nation generate over $213 billion dollars for their local economies and
employ in excess of 184,000 people.
October is the month used to educate community members about the
positive impact co-ops have made
and continue to make, especially
here in rural Iowa. At last count,
Butler County had 17 co-ops helping stimulate the economies of all its
communities.
Like farmers, these workers put
in long hours during spring and
fall helping to plant and harvest the
crops. Next time you are sitting in
a long line to dump your grain at
the elevator, take time to thank the
workers for their time and efforts on
your behalf! (Taking them a snack
couldn’t hurt, either!)

Help Farmers Cope with Stress
AMES, Iowa — Farm life with its country setting often is idealized, but as the
complications and pace of agriculture
have increased, so have the physical and
mental demands on farmers. Safety and
stress during harvest season cannot be
ignored, says Margaret Van Ginkel, an
Iowa State University Extension and
Outreach family life program specialist
and Iowa Concern Hotline coordinator.
“Farmers deal with everyday tasks of
money management, decision-making
and equipment maintenance,” Van Ginkel said. “Worry over large debt loads,
government regulations, pest outbreaks,
animal disease, negative publicity, rapid
change within the industry and lack of
control over the weather add stress and
safety risks.”
Van Ginkel noted that farmers work
long hours in isolation near their home
environment, leaving them no place
to escape the stressors, which makes it
easy to see why farming ranks as one
of the most stressful occupations in the
United States.
“The physical and mental stress of
farming can take a toll on a person’s
health,” Van Ginkel said. “Ignoring
those signs of stress can lead to fatigue
and depression, increasing the risk for
accidental injuries, poor decision-making, physical illness and more.”
The long days and late nights of harvest can lead farmers to push their limits
to get crops out of fields, but research
from the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention confirms that breaks can
help increase concentration and alertness while reducing the risk for farm accidents.
“Get out of the tractor, get out of the
combine,” said Van Ginkel. “Take fifteen minutes to eat a sandwich on the
tailgate of the pickup with your family. It
will recharge your energy and help you
think clearly again.”
Van Ginkel says there are physical
signs of stress to look for in yourself
or a co-worker. She references the Ag
Decision Maker publication Managing
Farm Business and Family Stress when
she points out physical signs of stress
include an increase in headaches, lingering fatigue, disrupted sleep patterns and
more frequent illness; emotional signs
include frequent anger and irritability.
Recognize signs of stress
Although adults involved in the agriculture industry may not come out and
verbally share they are under financial
or emotional stress, there are signs they
may be in need of help, Van Ginkel said.
These signs can be observed by friends,
neighbors, veterinarians, physicians,
clergy, teachers and other community
members.
Suzanne Pish, a social-emotional
health extension educator with Michigan State University Extension, encourages those living in rural communities to
look for the following signs of chronic,
prolonged stress in farm families:
• Change in routines. The farmer or
family no longer participates in activities they once enjoyed such as church,
4-H or visiting at the local diner.
• Care of livestock declines. Animals
might show signs of neglect or abuse.
• Increase in illness. Stress puts people
at higher risk for upper respiratory illnesses (colds, flu) or other chronic conditions (aches, pains, persistent cough).
• Increase in farm accidents. Fatigue
and the inability to concentrate can lead
to greater risk of accidents.
• Decline in farmstead appearance.
The farm family no longer may take
pride in the way farm buildings and
grounds appear, or no longer have time
to do the maintenance work.
• Children show signs of stress. Children from families under stress may act
out, show a decline in academic performance or be increasingly absent from
school. They also may show signs of
physical abuse or neglect.
“Many farmers who are used to working things out for themselves might be
resistant to sharing their problems with
others. Although asking for help might
go against the nature of a strong, self-reliant farmer, obtaining support for stressrelated problems usually provides the
most effective and durable solutions,”
Van Ginkel said. “It’s important to encourage and refer individuals and families under farm-related stress to needed
resources.”
Call the Iowa Concern Hotline
Iowans can call the ISU Extension
and Outreach Iowa Concern Hotline,
800-447-1985, for help and referrals
for dealing with stress. The Iowa Concern website at www.extension.iastate.
edu/iowaconcern/ has a live chat feature
as an additional way to talk with stress
counselors. Agencies and professionals serving individuals and families can
contact local ISU Extension and Outreach offices about Iowa Concern hotline number business cards available for
distribution.
