Extension fruit specialist discusses Iowa apple harvest Drought and heat had an impact on the 2023 Iowa apple crop Submitted by ISU Extension & Outreach As the days shorten and the chill of autumn enters the air, many look to local apple orchards for a classic crisp and sweet Iowa treat. Suzanne Slack, assistant professor and extension fruit crop specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, discusses the Iowa apple harvest, highlights unique cultivars to try and provides recommendations for storing apples and supporting local farmers. While apple growers experienced an overall mild season with some early frost damage, Slack explained that some cultivars of apple are ready ahead of schedule this season due to ongoing drought conditions across the state. “For producers without irrigation on their crops, it was a bit of a stressful year,” said Slack. “Even with irrigation, the drought has caused some apple cultivars to be ready for harvest up to three weeks early.” While an early harvest is good for consumers eager to sample the local harvest, Slack said that it can be challenging for producers depending on their harvest infrastructure, as they have less time to hire seasonal workers to assist in the harvest and must work out solutions for selling, shipping and storing their crop ahead of the usual schedule. According to Slack, another challenge for producers that comes along with heat and drought is insect damage. Hot weather causes the metabolic and reproduction rates of many pest species to increase exponentially, meaning

that there are even more hungry insects damaging crops than in typical years. Drought conditions also weaken crops’ defenses against these insects, further compounding the issue. Despite these harvest concerns, Iowa-grown apples are appearing at farmer’s markets across the state. While purchasing apples from farmer’s markets is a great way to support local farmers, Slack also recommends visiting orchards to pick your own apples or purchase directly from the growers. “We have a lot of pick-your-own apple orchards in Iowa, so most people are probably less than an hour away from an operation,” added Slack. “It’s a great way to do even more to support local growers.”

Stop in!

In addition to having a variety of local producers to support, Iowa also has a variety of unique apple cultivars to try. The widely grown Red Delicious variety was first discovered in Iowa, and while modern versions of this variety from the supermarket sometimes prioritize looks and durability over taste, Slack recommends sampling the original red- and gold-striped Red Delicious apples if local orchards offer them. Another cultivar Slack recommends is Chieftain, which was originally developed at Iowa State University and is available at many local orchards. For those looking to preserve the taste of fall by storing apples, Slack recommends selecting Gold Rush, Pink Lady or Golden Delicious. “Most apples store well in the refrigerator, but it’s best to keep them in a crisper container and away from other fruits and vegetables. As apples ripen, they release a gas called ethylene, which can trigger other fruits and vegetables like bananas, avocados, broccoli and peppers to ripen faster,” added Slack. When it comes to selecting apples for storage, it is also important not to pick overripe apples at the orchard. “If the apples are really sweet and starting to get soft, they are likely overripe and won’t store very well,” explained Slack. For more information, a free publication on storing and harvesting apples is available from the Extension Store.

Secretary Pate partners with Iowa County Auditors to thank Iowa poll workers for their role in Iowa’s election integrity Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate today launched an awareness campaign to thank Iowa poll workers for their work in helping Iowa’s elections process run fairly and smoothly. Each election, more than 10,000 Iowans from every corner of the state step up to serve their communities as precinct election officials. The Iowa Secretary of State’s Office is partnering with County Auditors in every corner of the state to help tell stories about the role poll workers play in our elections process and the impact these individuals have in their communities every day. Iowa is in the top three in the nation for election administration by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Election Data and Science Lab. Local election officials, including poll workers, play an essential role in keeping Iowa’s elections safe and secure. Poll workers check in voters, make sure they have the correct ballot, answer questions, and help ensure elections run smoothly in each precinct. They’re needed in all 99 counties for

the November 7 City-School Election. “Iowa’s elections are some of the safest and most secure in the country, thanks to Iowa’s process that includes cH paper ballots, offline and secure systems, pre-testing of lun y b equipment, and post-election audits in all M99 ISHcounties,” a IeS said Secretary Pate. “We also have a secret lad weapon:

poll workers. We are thankful for the Iowans who have stepped up as poll workers and offered their time to serve their community and help their neighbors vote.” Iowans who want to contribute to their community and Iowa’s elections can sign up to become a poll worker at Pollworker.Iowa.gov. Voters who plan participate in early voting can begin casting ballots for the 2023 City-School Election on Wednesday, October 18. This marks the start of the absentee voting period and the first day Iowans can vote in person at their County Auditor’s Office. October 18 is also the first day County Auditors can mail absentee ballots to voters who requested them. Absentee ballot request forms must be received by a voter’s local County Auditor’s Office no later than 5 PM on Monday, October 23. To request an absentee ballot or to find your polling POrta POttIeS site, visit VoterReady.Iowa.gov. On GrOundS We Specialize in “YOUR” Auction

Iowa Crop and Weather Report Iowa Secretary of Ag Mike Naig commented on the Iowa Crop Progress and Condition Report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service. “The widespread rain is definitely ill-timed yet still badly needed,” said Naig. “Though combines are sidelined, and harvest progress is slowed, the rain will have a positive impact on re-charging soil moisture, establishing cover crops and replenishing pastures.” Iowa was cold and damp last week with the northern twothirds of state receiving above average precipitation, limiting days suitable for fieldwork to 4.2 during the week ending October 15. Corn and soybean harvest continued to be the main field activities for the week, although there were some reports of fall tillage and dry fertilizer being applied. Topsoil moisture condition rated 19 percent very short, 38 percent short, 40 percent adequate and 3 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture condition rated 31 percent very short, 43 percent short, 24 percent adequate and 2 percent surplus. Virtually all the corn crop has reached maturity. Corn harvested for grain reached 42 percent statewide, 3 days ahead of last year and 5 days ahead of the average. Moisture content of field corn being harvested for grain was at 17 percent. Corn condition rated 51 percent good to excellent. Soybeans dropping leaves was 98 percent this week. Soybeans harvested reached 74 percent, 1 day ahead of last year and 9 days ahead of the average. Pasture condition rated 17 percent good to excellent. Livestock conditions were generally good. Some producers continue to haul hay and purchase hay in preparation for winter, while others have turned cattle out to feed on fields of corn stalks. A large and slow-moving low-pressure system spun several waves of showers and thunderstorms across Iowa during the reporting period. Stations across Iowa’s northern half received more than a month’s worth of rainfall. Temperatures were also cooler than average where cloud cover and rain were present; the statewide average temperature was 50.2 degrees, 2.7 degrees below normal. Daytime highs on Sunday (8th) rose into the upper 60s and low 70s as spotty clouds dotted the sky under light northerly winds. Mostly clear skies into Monday (9th) morning allowed temperatures to fall below freezing at many Iowa stations while upper 30s and low 40s were observed in eastern Iowa. Afternoon conditions were partly sunny with highs in the upper 50s and low 60s as northerly winds increased. Starry skies persisted through Tuesday (10th) morning with

an easterly shifting wind and temperatures in the upper 20s northwest to upper 30s southeast. Several southwestern stations registered highs in the lower 70s with temperatures 10-15 degrees cooler in northern Iowa. Clouds increased over southern Iowa into early Wednesday (11th) as showers and a few thunderstorms moved through the area. A second wave of showers pushed into western Iowa just before daybreak on Thursday with a broad shield of rain persisting over northern Iowa through the afternoon hours. Initial rainfall totals exceeded 1.00 inch at 60 stations with the highest totals in eastern Iowa and a statewide average of 0.47 inch. The low-pressure center moved into western Iowa after midnight on Friday (13th) with moderate to heavy rain falling from several waves of showers and thunderstorms. The statewide average total was 0.76 inch. Overcast skies persisted through the day with highs in the upper 50s and low 60s as stronger storms formed across central Iowa during late afternoon. Ample instability and atmospheric spin associated with the low-pressure center forced a few tornado-warned thunderstorms, though no rotation was spotted. The system finally exited eastern Iowa early on Saturday with 24-hour totals reported at 7:00 a.m. highest from central to eastern Iowa. More than 30 additional stations hit an inch or more with 2.68 inches in Lowden (Cedar County); general totals at most stations were in the 0.25- to 0.75-inch range with a statewide average of 0.52 inch. Overcast skies hid the annular solar eclipse as spotty showers spun in on the backside of the low. Daytime temperatures were in the 50s as gusty northerly winds built in. Overnight lows did not drop significantly as thick stratus cloud remained; temperatures remained in the mid to upper 40s on Sunday (15th) morning. Weekly precipitation totals ranged from 0.07 inch in Davis City (Decatur County) to 5.29 inches in Sioux Rapids (Buena Vista County). The statewide weekly average precipitation was 1.85 inches, almost three times the normal of 0.64 inch. Lamoni (Decatur County) reported the week’s high temperature of 81 degrees on the 12th, 14 degrees above normal. Elkader (Clayton County) reported the week’s low temperature of 23 degrees on the 11th, 16 degrees below normal.

Governor Kim Reynolds has signed an extension of the proclamation relating to the weight limits and transportation of grain, fertilizer, and manure. The proclamation continues through Nov. 11, and allows vehicles transporting corn, soybeans, hay, straw, silage, stover, fertilizer (dry, liquid, and gas), and manure (dry and liquid) to be overweight (not exceeding 90,000 pounds gross weight) without a permit for the duration of this proclamation. This proclamation applies to loads transported on all highways within Iowa (excluding the interstate system) and those which do not exceed a maximum of 90,000 pounds gross weight, do not exceed the maximum axle weight limit determined under the non-primary highway maximum gross weight table in Iowa Code § 321.463 (6) (a) and (b), by more than 12.5%, do not exceed the legal maximum axle weight limit of 20,000 pounds, and comply with posted limits on roads and bridges.

Watch for deer while driving

Drivers are advised to stay alert as they travel Iowa’s roadsides over the coming weeks. Autumn deer behavior, crop harvest and peak travel times for motorists combine to hike the risk of vehicle-deer collisions in Iowa. From the middle of October until the third week of November, Iowa bucks become more active in the pursuit of does during the breeding season. Motorists may be distracted by the first deer that crosses not seeing the pursuing buck. This adds to multiple scenarios of fast moving, unpredictable deer crossing highways. The crop harvest is already in full swing, concentrating deer into remaining cover that is often brushy creeks, trees or fence lines which often intersect with roads. A third factor will be the change away from daylight savings time on Nov. 5, placing more Iowans behind the wheel during the deer-heavy dawn and dusk periods. A few ways to give drivers an edge during this period are to reduce speed, increase following distance from other cars, and to sweep eye movements from ditch to ditch, especially during those low light periods and when approaching those brushy or tree lined “funnels” near roads. Drivers are also encouraged not to “veer for deer,” leaving the lane of traffic could cause a collision with another vehicle or a roadside obstacle, such as a utility pole or culvert. The Iowa DNR notes that Iowa’s deer herd is managed to provide a harvest of between 100,000 and 120,000 annually, that is achieved by providing additional opportunities for hunters to harvest does. Last year, Iowa hunters reported harvesting nearly 110,000 deer. State Farm Insurance ranked Iowa 6th highest state for animal versus automobile collisions for 2022-23. According to their data, Iowans have a 1-in-63 chance of hitting a deer. To stay safe on the road, they recommend: • Stay alert. Pay attention to “deer crossing” and “wildlife crossing” signs and be cautious in areas near woods or water. • Use high beams. Flicking the high beams on an animal in the road may cause the animal to scurry away. High beams also help illuminate dark roads. • Don’t swerve. If a car crash is inevitable, maintain control of the vehicle and don’t veer off the road. • Brake as necessary. If you can avoid hitting the animal, reduce speed, honk the horn and tap the brakes to warn other drivers. If there are no drivers behind you, brake hard. • Remember peak season. Animal collisions happen most during October through December, which is hunting and mating season. • Remember meal time. Watch for animals in the road between dusk and dawn. • Watch for herds. If one deer is seen, there are probably more nearby. • Don’t use a whistle. No scientific evidence supports that car-mounted deer whistles work. • Wear seat belts. Always obey speed limits and wear seat belts.

Spiders in the home are no cause for worry, according to insect expert Spiders or other insects that enter indoors are usually looking for warmth As autumn leaves turn and the temperature begins to drop, people aren’t the only ones looking to get cozy indoors, as many Iowans notice an increase in insect and spider populations around the home during fall. While finding unexpected spiders hiding around the home can be alarming for some, Zach Schumm, insect diagnostician with the Plant and Insect Diagnostic Clinic at Iowa State University, explains that most spiders in Iowa pose little threat to people. Typically, spiders or other insects that enter indoors are looking for warmth, according to Schumm. While any spider has the potential to accidentally work its way indoors, the types of spiders commonly encountered in the home include wolf spiders, funnel weaving spiders, jumping spiders and cellar spiders. “The common offenders are the spiders that are more noticeable, either because they are larger or we happen to see them when they aren’t hiding,” explained Schumm. All spiders, which can be distinguished from most other arthropods by their eight legs and two body regions, have hollow fangs capable of injecting venom into their prey. However, as Schumm explains, this characteristic should not be a cause for concern for humans, as they only wish to use their fangs on their food, not on people. “In the United States as a whole, there are very few medically significant spiders that people need to be concerned about. The typical offenders we hear about, the brown recluse and the black widow, are very uncommon in Iowa,” said Schumm. “In addition to being very uncommon, these spiders are typically nonaggressive toward people. Even when they do bite, they often dry bite, meaning that they bite without injecting any venom.” Black widows, which can be distinguished by the red hourglass marking on the underside of their abdomen, have been found in Iowa before, but are uncommon. Even when encountered, these spiders are often described as shy, and prefer to flee from humans when threatened. While their venom is highly toxic, bites are typically not serious since a very small amount of EVENT A FANTASTIC FANTASTICSHOPPING SHOPPING EVENT NOVEMBER 5-6 28th ANNUAL FALLFALL 27th ANNUAL FALL 29th ANNUAL

venom is injected. Symptoms of a bite typically include pain and swelling at the site of the bite, headache, shortness of breath and muscle spasms. Very few black widow bites result in serious medical complications. Brown recluses, the other main species of venomous spider that can be found in Iowa, are also incredibly uncommon. Although their range technically extends into the lower part of the state, they are considered uncommon to extremely rare in the upper Midwest. True to their name, they tend to avoid areas with human activity and rarely bite. They can be distinguished by the dark, violin-shaped marking on their front body section. While bites are not typically immediately painful, a localized burning sensation typically develops within a few hours, followed by raised or darkened skin surrounding the bite.

Since few Iowa spiders pose any real medical threat and are unaggressive, Schumm rarely recommends spraying insecticides around the home. “Most spiders around the home are more of a nuisance than a medical issue, so I always recommend some level of tolerance,” said Schumm. “If you want to reduce their numbers, it’s important to seal up any small gaps where they may be entering the home. Putting on new door thresholds, repairing window screens and sealing up cracks can prevent spiders from coming indoors.” “There are some options for managing spiders using insecticides after they’ve entered, but I would argue that those methods are less healthy and more expensive than letting the spiders be. However, if you’re allergic to spider venom or are finding those more medically significant species, you can put out sticky traps to monitor for presence and abundance of spiders or call a pest management company if needed,” he added. While discovering an unwelcome, eightlegged roommate can be startling, it is rarely a cause for alarm. “People generally tend to be fearful of spiders, but the spiders we see around our homes aren’t out to get us,” added Schumm. “Next time you find a spider around the house, take the time to observe it for a bit. The more we understand things, the less fearful we tend to be.” For more information on common Iowa spiders, visit https://store.extension.iastate.edu/product/5267, or contact Zach Schumm at zschumm@iastate.edu or by calling 515-294-0581.
