Winter Care of the Cow Herd: Confinement Versus Open Grazing
This study was designed to evaluate whether the effects of winter grazing or confinement for winter care of beef cows in Iowa would have any impact on the physical condition of the cow or the calf born to the cow in spring. It appears that where feedstuff quality is similar between scenarios, there is no difference. The study was funded by the Illinois Beef Association and conducted at Iowa State University’s McNay Memorial Research and Demonstration Farm and the Beef Teaching Farm.

Liquidity Analysis of Iowa Farms: High liquidity will help Iowa farmers get through low margins
This article explores the evolution of financial liquidity among mid- and large-size Iowa farms in 2022 against a backdrop of strong but declining accrual net farm income. All indicators point to a smaller share of farms in vulnerable liquidity situations, and an overall reduced need for working capital financing in 2023, except maybe for farms with negative working capital.

Federal and State Regulations on Selling Fermented Foods

Federal and State Regulations on Selling Frozen and Dehydrated Foods
Freezing and dehydrating produce commodities, including fruits, vegetables, and nuts, are ways to increase the shelf life of the produce. Freezing can preserve freshness and quality.
Freezing does not kill bacteria on the product but it does prevent microbes from growing. Once a food is thawed, bacteria begin to grow and can spoil the produce, or if pathogenic (harmful), can cause foodborne illness. Be sure to store the fruit or vegetable at 0°F or below for the duration of its frozen life.

Federal and State Regulations on Selling Jams and Jellies
Jams, jellies, fruit butters, and preserves are shelf-stable food products. They contain high amounts of sugar and acid which lower the water activity and pH, respectively, of the product to minimize the growth of bacteria. Moisture migration, mold growth, and oxidation are reduced by hermetically sealing the jar. Important to the safety of jams and jellies is ensuring the pH of the product is below 4.6. Below this pH, Clostridium botulinum, a very serious human pathogen, cannot produce its deadly toxin.

Federal and State Regulations on Selling Pickled Vegetables
Pickling is an ancient method of food preservation dating back to 3rd century BC China. Unfermented pickles are typically put into an airtight jar with acid and flavorings and heated to kill any potential bacteria on the fruit or vegetable that may cause illness or spoilage. After a few days, the pickles are ready for consumption. The biggest concern about pickled foods is Clostridium botulinum. Clostridium botulinum is a microorganism that produces a fatal toxin in anaerobic environments with a pH above 4.6. The toxin causes botulism, a serious paralytic illness that can be fatal and is considered a medical emergency.

Analyzing Health Disparities -- Vibrant Clubs
We often discuss habits and behaviors we can practice to keep ourselves healthy. These include getting adequate sleep, drinking enough water, eating more fruits and vegetables, and being active daily. These are all important components of physical well-being. Have you ever thought about what things may impact your ability to practice these healthy habits? These factors that impact our behaviors and health may be unique based on the community or area where we live, the resources we have access to, and the education and information we’ve been provided. This activity will help us take a closer look at the county we live in and assess the health status within that community. This lesson will focus on learning how to assess the health status in a community through data. We will also grow our awareness of factors that impact one’s health.

Lease Supplement for Obtaining Conservation Practices to Control Soil and Nutrient Loss
With more than half of farmland in Iowa under a rental agreement, cooperation between tenants and landowners is essential for establishing and maintaining needed conservation practices on a rented farm. Rents should be adjusted to reflect costs and risks incurred by both parties. Rent can also be adjusted to reflect your value set, such as when prioritizing soil and water conservation. Conservation practices and improvements will not be made unless they are agreed to in advance and the tenant has the necessary machinery and management ability to establish and maintain them.

Electricity flows from positive (high) to negative (low) through pathways called circuits. Materials that electricity can flow through are called conductors, such as salt, metal, or even people. Materials are insulators if electricity can’t travel through them, such as the plastic coating covering wires or thick rubber gloves technicians wear to protect themselves when repairing power lines.
