CHS Magazine highlights Jefferson Matters

CHS is a regional cooperative in the Midwest. The fall issue’s focus is Leadership in Rural America. Director Peg Raney was contacted along with several other local leaders contacted for input- Jamie Daubendiek, Chris Deal and Sue Tronchetti. The article was published the week of Thanksgiving and is available online or a printed copy can be requested. The cover of the magazine features a photo of Landus Cooperative from the Mahanay Memorial Carillon Tower’s Paul Nally Observation Deck.

The entire issue is full of great ideas from other communities and well worth the time to read.

The free 12:45 p.m. program, “What is It About? Iowa and Wind Power by a Windy Guy,” follows a noon lunch at St. Patrick’s Church west of Churdan. Wind and his family own three wind turbines, all located in the northern half of the county. They are among 158 turbines in the Greene County, 85 of which were built by MidAmerican Energy. At last count, in 2022, Iowa had more than 6,000 wind turbines, putting the Hawkeye State in second place behind Texas for the its fleet of giant windmills making power from 16-mile-per-hour breezes that waft at about 270 feet above the ground. They produce about 60 percent of the state’s energy needs. Lunch, prepared by St. Patrick’s parishioners, costs $12. Please call a Historical Society community contact or 515-386-4408 by Tuesday, Sept. 3, to reserve a seat at the table.
