Nicholson & Edwards Grain Co.<br />

rebuilding after September fire<br />

BY MARK MAHONEY<br />

MMAHONEY@NWESTIOWA.COM<br />

PRIMGHAR—Nicholson & Edwards Grain Co. has a burning<br />

desire to build anew.<br />

The longtime Primghar business is in the process of recovering<br />

from a costly conflagration that caused an estimated $1 million<br />

in damage on Sept. 8.<br />

“It’s been all right,” Kurt Edwards, one of the grain company’s<br />

co-owners, said of the recovery process. “We made it through<br />

harvest all right. We’re getting ready for spring obviously to gear<br />

up.”<br />

Nicholson & Edwards is in the process of having work done to<br />

the interior of a steel grain bin it has on site to turn the structure<br />

Brothers Jim and Kurt Edwards talk about their business on Tuesday while inside the mobile office trailer that Nicholson &<br />

Edwards Grain Co. in Primghar has been using since a fire damaged the grain company on Sept. 8. Photo by Mark Mahoney<br />

into a new office building to replace the one that was lost in the<br />

fire.<br />

B&J Builders of Primghar began working on the project in late<br />

March. The work is estimated to cost $200,000-$250,000.<br />

Edwards and his brothers Jim and Tom — who own the grain<br />

company together — hope the new two-story office structure,<br />

CONSTRUCTION<br />

The constant tap of hammers, the hum of power drills and the screeching of saws<br />

means more than just construction; it signifies development and growth.<br />

N’West Iowa community and business leaders have a clear vision toward tomorrow as<br />

they seek to bring advancements to their communities. This issue looks at businesses<br />

going through a variety of construction stages, from planning to completion.<br />

Promise undergoing renovation and expansion<br />

Health center to<br />

hold open house<br />

BY JOE FISHER<br />

JFISHER@NWESTIOWA.COM<br />

SIOUX CENTER—New renovations<br />

and expansions will<br />

soon be unveiled at Promise<br />

Community Health Center in<br />

Sioux Center.<br />

Promise will host a ribboncutting<br />

ceremony and open<br />

house 4:30-6:30 p.m. Thursday,<br />

April 26, to celebrate the<br />

update.<br />

The comprehensive care<br />

facility received aesthetic and<br />

structural improvements to the<br />

exterior along with increased<br />

space on the interior. This<br />

comes after completion of a<br />

capital campaign that raised<br />

$130,000 through business and<br />

personal donations.<br />

The total cost of the improvements<br />

tallies about $380,000 so<br />

far.<br />

A rendering shows what the renovated exterior of Promise Community Health Center in Sioux<br />

Center will look like. An open house will be 4:30-6:30 p.m. Thursday, April, 26. Image submitted<br />

“Everyone is so excited about<br />

the changes here. Employees<br />

have a great, modern building<br />

to come to every day. Patients<br />

have a warm, welcoming home<br />

for their health needs,” said<br />

Nathan Vander Plaats, who<br />

took over as executive director<br />

of Promise on Dec. 11, succeeding<br />

Nancy Dykstra, who<br />

retire at the end of the year after<br />

serving as the guiding hand<br />

of the health center since it<br />

opened in July 2008.<br />

Administrative space, an<br />

employee break room and<br />

additional patient exam rooms<br />

were added. A new larger education<br />

room for hosting staff<br />

meetings and community education<br />

events also was added.<br />

“With the growth we’ve been<br />

experiencing, that room in particular<br />

was a great addition,”<br />

Vander Plaats said.<br />

He said the need for expanding<br />

the interior space stems<br />

from a growing demand and<br />

the establishment of new services.<br />

“In 2017, we saw a patient<br />

increase of 22 percent. Without<br />

adding interior capacity, serving<br />

those patients in an efficient<br />

manner would have been<br />

very difficult,” Vander Plaats<br />

AT A GLANCE:<br />

What: Ribbon-cutting<br />

ceremony and open<br />

house<br />

Who: Promise<br />

Community Health<br />

Center<br />

When: 4:30-6:30 p.m.<br />

Thursday, April 26.<br />

Where: 338 First Ave.<br />

N.W., Sioux Center.<br />

said. “With the age of our building,<br />

it was important to modernize<br />

the exterior and protect<br />

the building and Promise from<br />

what would become unsustainable<br />

upkeep.”<br />

Some final touches, including<br />

placing a sign on the front<br />

of the building, are expected to<br />

be completed within the next<br />

week.<br />

“It seems any time I am out<br />

around town, I hear from our<br />

stakeholders about how nice<br />

it is to see the transformation<br />

of this building,” Vander Plaats<br />

said. “I am excited to see this all<br />

come together.”<br />

Promise opened its doors<br />

to the community almost 10<br />

years ago. It started as a mobile<br />

health center. The mobile unit<br />

was dispatched to New Orleans<br />

in the wake of Hurricane<br />

Katrina.<br />

The open house will feature<br />

hors d’oeuvres, wine, beer and<br />

other beverages. Visitors can<br />

tour the facility and learn more<br />

about its services. Like Promise,<br />

it is open to everyone.<br />

Promise Community Health<br />

Center is the only Federally<br />

Qualified Health Center serving<br />

the far northwest corner of<br />

Iowa. Promise provides medical,<br />

prenatal, dental, vision and<br />

behavioral health services.<br />

Building being revamped into condos<br />

Paullina Care Center<br />

receiving renovation<br />

BY JOE FISHER<br />

JFISHER@NWESTIOWA.COM<br />

PAULLINA—The former Paullina<br />

Care Center is being renovated and<br />

turned into an eight-unit condominium.<br />

The 12,000-square-foot building<br />

was once a 39-bed nursing home in<br />

the northwest corner of the city limits.<br />

The care center closed in 2008 and<br />

the building was purchased by Brian<br />

and Christine Feltman in 2015.<br />

The Feltmans own 15 homes in<br />

Paullina and an apartment complex<br />

in Primghar under their business B.C.<br />

Rentals.<br />

The condominiums will be called<br />

Prairie 8 Condos.<br />

Brian Feltman said he was not quite<br />

sure what he would do with the care<br />

center building after purchasing it.<br />

“It sat for a year after I owned it<br />

because I didn’t really know what to do<br />

with it,” he said. “I had several ideas. It<br />

was in such disrepair. There were no<br />

furnaces, no hot water. We decided to<br />

gut it.”<br />

Feltman removed all of the electrical<br />

wiring, plumbing and walls. During<br />

that process, he decided to develop<br />

the space into condominiums.<br />

“Northwest Iowa has what I would<br />

call a housing shortage,” he said. “I<br />

have quite a few rental properties, and<br />

I have more people looking for a place<br />

than I have available. There’s just no<br />

place to go.”<br />

The building will be divided into<br />

eight units, ranging from 800 to 1,400<br />

square feet, likely priced by square<br />

foot<br />

Each unit will feature an openconcept<br />

kitchen and living area with<br />

two bedrooms and two bathrooms.<br />

There will be direct access to the<br />

each unit from outside and they will<br />

all have private patio space. The units<br />

also will be equipped with fireplaces<br />

and Feltman emphasized bringing in<br />

natural light with plenty of window<br />

space.<br />

The southeastern-most unit is being<br />

completely finished with flooring,<br />

countertops, cabinets and appliances<br />

so it may be shown to prospective<br />

buyers. That unit has 5-foot showers<br />

with installed with seats and a small<br />

6-inch lip, providing easy entry. The<br />

kitchen has an island that will hold the<br />

sink. The rest of the units will be drywalled,<br />

primed and textured but will<br />

not have countertops, cabinets and<br />

other fixtures installed.<br />

“You buy them and finish them the<br />

way you want,” Feltman said. “The<br />

thought is if someone comes and sees<br />

this one and doesn’t like the flooring,<br />

‘Hey, there’s an empty unit over here.<br />

You can put purple floors in it if you so<br />

choose.’”<br />

He said the show unit will tentatively<br />

be completed this year. If that unit<br />

happens to sell as is, he will finish<br />

another unit for show.<br />

“It’s actually moving faster than I<br />

thought,” Feltman said.<br />

Along with the condos, owners<br />

also will be purchasing a two-stall<br />

garage and a basement storage unit.<br />

Construction on the garages is yet to<br />

begin, but the plan is for seven of the<br />

garages to be built together, with the<br />

northernmost unit having its own<br />

detached garage because of the proximity<br />

of that unit.<br />

The northwest side of the building<br />

Brian Feltman, co-owner of B.C. Rentals, measures the island for the kitchen<br />

that will be in Prairie 8 Condos’ show unit in Paullina. Photo by Joe Fisher<br />

offers a view to the countryside of<br />

Paullina, which Feltman noted was<br />

one of his favorite parts of the structure.<br />

“This is one thing I didn’t want to<br />

lose. This is rural Iowa,” he said. “You<br />

have a 10-mile view.”<br />

At the heart of the building will be a<br />

common area designed to host large<br />

get-togethers.<br />

“If you’re having Thanksgiving or<br />

Easter and your place isn’t big enough,<br />

I’m trying to make it so it’ll seat 25<br />

people,” Feltman said. “There’s going<br />

to be a small kitchen and a bathroom<br />

here.”<br />

Next to that area there is a room that<br />

will be designated for therapists and<br />

other health-care professionals to use<br />

for visits.<br />

“This could be a treatment room,<br />

could be a hearing aid person, a chiropractor,”<br />

Feltman said. “We thought<br />

we could have a treatment person visit<br />

and see everyone here.”<br />

He noted the units are meant to be<br />

“a little higher-end places,” which<br />

could price them out of the rental<br />

market. He is not sure what the costs<br />

will be.

BUSINESS<br />

Regional airport to open in November<br />

Will provide flights<br />

out of Sioux County<br />

BY LANA BRADSTREAM<br />

LBRADSTREAM@NWESTIOWA.COM<br />

MAURICE—Facilities for<br />

the $28 million Sioux County<br />

Regional Airport are about to<br />

take flight as the long-awaited<br />

493-acre airfield is set to open<br />

in November.<br />

Located southeast of the<br />

intersection of highways 75<br />

and 10, the regional airport will<br />

serve Orange City and Sioux<br />

Center as well as the county.<br />

Some of the projects under<br />

construction are:<br />

g A 100-by-100-foot airport<br />

hangar;<br />

g A 55-by-100-foot terminal<br />

facility;<br />

g 10- and 14-unit tee hangar<br />

buildings;<br />

g Medium approach lighting<br />

system on the runway.<br />

g Second-phase paving for<br />

the runway and taxiway, which<br />

is the north half portion of the<br />

5,500-foot runway.<br />

The paving for the runway,<br />

which carries a total cost of $8.8<br />

million, is being done by Cedar<br />

Valley Construction of Waterloo.<br />

Sioux County Regional Airport<br />

Board chairman Harold<br />

Schiebout said the terminal,<br />

which is attached to a two-box<br />

hangar building, should be finished<br />

at the end of May or early<br />

June, and an all-weather observation<br />

service structure should<br />

be completed by the end of July.<br />

Most of the projects will be<br />

completed by the end of summer.<br />

“Weather is always a factor,”<br />

Schiebout said. “We are planning<br />

and expecting to have it<br />

up and running in November,<br />

and we are depending on the<br />

DOT and FAA for their participation.”<br />

The chairman is not sure how<br />

many personnel will be needed<br />

to operate the airport when<br />

it opens, but he is estimating<br />

10-14. However, it is difficult for<br />

him to say as he does not know<br />

how many people the fixedbase<br />

operator will employ.<br />

An FBO is a business that is<br />

granted the right by an airport<br />

to operate on the premises and<br />

provide maintenance, fueling<br />

of aircraft and instruction.<br />

No entity has been chosen for<br />

the FBO position, yet.<br />

Sioux Center administrator<br />

Scott Wynja, who also is a<br />

member of the airport board,<br />

said he expects the airport<br />

board will be discussing the<br />

issue during the next few<br />

months.<br />

“The airport is currently on<br />

schedule to be completed by<br />

November of 2018, but there<br />

are many projects that need<br />

to be finalized and completed,<br />

and also concurrence and<br />

approval from the Federal Aviation<br />

Administration,” Wynja<br />

said.<br />

Grading for the regional airport<br />

began in 2015, but talk for<br />

the project has been going on<br />

for almost 20 years.<br />

In 2004, a partnership be -<br />

tween the city governments of<br />

Orange City and Sioux Center,<br />

and the government of Sioux<br />

County, was formed to create<br />

the airport.<br />

While the majority of the $28<br />

Regional Airport south of Sioux Center. Photo by Tom Kane<br />

million cost is attributed to<br />

grants from the FAA, the local<br />

governments committed a total<br />

of $2 million.<br />

Once completed, the regional<br />

airport is expected to be a boon<br />

to area companies.<br />

Schiebout said neither airport<br />

at Orange City or Sioux<br />

Center were adequate to<br />

accommodate the increasing<br />

business flight traffic the<br />

county has seen, which created<br />

some hurdles for businesses<br />

Employees would have to go to<br />

Sioux Falls, SD, or Sioux City to<br />

catch a flight or cancel the business<br />

meeting.<br />

Through a new airport, Sioux<br />

County businesses will no longer<br />

have to make that choice,<br />

he said.<br />

Schiebout said the DOT and<br />

FAA are appreciative of the<br />

multi-jurisdictional partnership<br />

formed between the towns<br />

and the county to create the<br />

regional airport.<br />

“I do know the FAA has significant<br />

participation and they<br />

are excited about the project,”<br />

Schiebout said. “The DOT is<br />

excited. It’s not often an airport<br />

is built.”<br />

Rock Valley Dental all smiles over its new location<br />

Beautiful building offers<br />

more room for services<br />

BY MARK MAHONEY<br />

MMAHONEY@NWESTIOWA.COM<br />

ROCK VALLEY—Rock Valley Dental<br />

always wants to give its patients a reason<br />

to smile when they visit.<br />

Dr. Sam Koth and his wife, Katy, own<br />

the general dentistry clinic, which<br />

opened a new location in July at 1302<br />

10th St. in Rock Valley, a Sioux County<br />

city of about 3,730.<br />

“Superb,” Sam said of the business’<br />

beautiful building along the south side<br />

of Highway 18. “It’s easy to see, that’s<br />

for sure. We’re growing, so we really<br />

needed the extra space. Just having<br />

a more welcoming environment was<br />

another good thing.<br />

“The addition of light and windows<br />

and stuff like that just makes it a more<br />

comforting place for patients to show<br />

up,” he said. “We’ve had an overwhelmingly<br />

good response with the<br />

patient population as far as just liking<br />

to come here.”<br />

In addition to Sam as an on-site<br />

dentist, Rock Valley Dental is home<br />

to a team of people who know teeth<br />

— dental assistants, dental hygienists<br />

and office management personnel,<br />

whom Sam is thankful to have work<br />

with him.<br />

“The team has really liked it a lot<br />

more as far as just more space and<br />

more light and just a better environment,”<br />

Sam said of the business’ new<br />

location. “People in Rock Valley in<br />

general have a great community sense<br />

of pride of having a new building in<br />

town.”<br />

In the past couple of years, the<br />

city has seen a new building constructed<br />

for Rock Valley Dental and<br />

Hegg Health Center undergo a major<br />

expansion and renovation project.<br />

“With a new hospital and a new<br />

dental office, things are going in the<br />

right direction as far as growing versus<br />

where a lot of towns are kind of having<br />

trouble keeping some of that stuff<br />

around,” Sam said.<br />

Sam, a Rapid City, SD, native, joined<br />

the Rock Valley dental clinic of Dr. Jim<br />

and Kathleen Jespersen in 2010 after<br />

graduating from the Creighton University<br />

School of Dentistry in Omaha,<br />

NE.<br />

The Koths bought the business<br />

nearly six years ago from the Jespersens,<br />

who had owned the dental facility<br />

for about 35 years inside a building<br />

that was connected to Rock Valley’s<br />

hospital.<br />

“It was a really good opportunity<br />

for us,” said Katy, a LeMars native, of<br />

the purchase of the dental clinic from<br />

the Jespersens. “Since that time, we’ve<br />

expanded so much of what we do<br />

here.”<br />

Sam and Katy renamed the dental<br />

clinic as Rock Valley Dental and eventually<br />

moved the business to its new<br />

location in 2017. The facility’s new<br />

roughly 4,400-square-foot home is<br />

about twice as large as its old one —<br />

with room for a second dentist.<br />

“We just had little tiny windows in<br />

each operatory,” Sam said, noting that<br />

an operatory is what a dental treatment<br />

room is called. “It was a big, redbrick<br />

building, so all our offices were<br />

downstairs, where there was no light<br />

or anything.<br />

“My office was in the basement, the<br />

Rock Valley Dental opened a new location in July. The business is located<br />

inside a building at 1302 10th St. along the south side of Highway 18.<br />

Sheryl Van Beek of Rock Valley, holding her 2-year-old daughter, Becca, listens as Dr. Sam Koth talks about the teeth<br />

of her 5-year-old son, Jaxten. Koth and his wife, Katy, own Rock Valley Dental, which opened a new location in July.<br />

breakroom was in the basement, a lot<br />

of the supply stuff was all in the basement,”<br />

he said. “Upstairs was where<br />

the operatories were. There was one<br />

tiny little window in each operatory,<br />

and there was one window upfront,<br />

but there was no natural, ambient<br />

light whatsoever.”<br />

Rock Valley Dental’s new location<br />

has six treatment rooms set up — each<br />

one has windows to the outside world<br />

— with the capacity to grow to nine, if<br />

needed. The chair in which a patient<br />

sits in each operatory has massaging<br />

capabilities.<br />

“There’s personalized music in each<br />

room, so they can listen to whatever<br />

the patient wants,” said Katy,<br />

a licensed physical therapist and a<br />

certified strength and conditioning<br />

specialist as well as a mother to her<br />

and Sam’s three children, with a fourth<br />

one on the way.<br />

There also is a room for active<br />

myofunctional therapy, which is a<br />

program of evaluation and exercises<br />

used to treat incorrect patterns of<br />

muscle functions. The exercises help<br />

restore strength and coordination and<br />

retrains muscles of a person’s face and<br />

tongue.<br />

The goal of myofunctional therapy is<br />

to optimize functions such as breathing,<br />

chewing, swallowing, speaking,<br />

Dental hygienist Kali Van Veldhuizen uses a high-powered dishwasher to clean<br />

dental instruments as the first part of the sterilization process. Rock Valley Dental<br />

oral hygiene, sleep, facial aesthetics,<br />

posture and facial skeletal growth,<br />

plus many others.<br />

The dental clinic also is home to<br />

Sam’s office, consultation rooms, a<br />

sterilization room and a dental laboratory.<br />

In addition, there is a space that<br />

doubles as a breakroom and a conference<br />

room, which has an outdoor<br />

patio connected to it.<br />

“It’s a little area to sit outside for<br />

lunch and get some fresh air,” Sam<br />

said of the patio. “It helps morale.”<br />

Katy is planning to plant a garden<br />

behind the business’ building full of<br />

flowers and other pretty plants. The<br />

dental facility also has a welcoming,<br />

wide-open waiting room with windows<br />

galore as well as a fireplace.<br />

“Basically, we’re trying to get pa -<br />

tients to feel as comfortable as they<br />

can because they’re coming to a place<br />

where they’re not comfortable,” Sam<br />

said. “That’s our goal.”

CHANGING LIVES<br />

ONE JOB AT A TIME<br />

“ I just like to pay my own<br />

bills and have a nice life. ”<br />

That pretty much sums it up for Floyd.<br />

The Sioux Center, Iowa man finds pure joy<br />

in being able to go to work to stock shelves,<br />

load vans and clean up other people’s messes.<br />

His job at ServiceMaster in Sioux Center, Iowa<br />

is giving him more than just a paycheck. It’s<br />

providing him a livelihood and giving him the<br />

opportunity to bring value to his community.<br />

Floyd is one of the many individuals who found<br />

competitive employment in the community<br />

thanks to the partner agencies of Sioux Rivers<br />

Partners. This unique partnership of five Iowa<br />

agencies works together to bring awareness<br />

to local businesses about Iowa’s untapped<br />

and very capable workforce.<br />

“Ask anyone in town and they’ll tell you<br />

staffing is a big issue,” says Sioux Center<br />

ServiceMaster manager, Josh Christians.<br />

“We had a need to have someone help us<br />

out with all sorts of tasks… we contacted<br />

them and it worked.” said Christians.<br />

“Floyd makes work fun. He’s energetic—<br />

more energetic than anyone I’ve ever<br />

met. He’s a huge part of our culture here.”<br />

“We were looking for some creative ways<br />

to integrate other assets in the community,<br />

as well as just looking for a different avenue<br />

from a hiring and recruiting standpoint,”<br />

said Nicole Ellermeier, Executive Director<br />

of Whispering Creek in Sioux City, Iowa.<br />

“I wouldn’t have guessed two years ago that<br />

it would have been this successful. We found<br />

two of our more tenured employees through<br />

the process.”<br />

Stephanie, a member of the Sioux Rivers<br />

Partners organizations, works in the kitchen<br />

at Whispering Creek cleaning dishes,<br />

organizing them, and coordinating any<br />

meals that need to be brought to residents.<br />

She too is a shining example of how Iowa<br />

businesses can benefit from hiring some of the<br />

state’s most capable and untapped workforce.<br />

But the benefits to Stephanie go far beyond<br />

a paycheck. In the years since joining the<br />

retirement community, she has flourished –<br />

volunteering to perform extra duties, making<br />

friends with her coworkers and bringing<br />

smiles to the residents of Whispering Creek.<br />

Working with Sioux Rivers Partners,<br />

Bob Taylor, a Human Resource Manager<br />

at Hy-Vee in Sioux City, Iowa, says he has<br />

found an employee that is a role model for<br />

all who work at the store.<br />

“Sara is always positive. Always ready to go.<br />

Always friendly with everyone. And that’s very<br />

important,” he said. “[Sioux Rivers Partners]<br />

contacted me about placement and coaching,<br />

and I said ‘we’d love to try that.’ And she’s<br />

been a great influence all around. When you<br />

talk to the people who work right next to her,<br />

day in and day out, they’re are always happy<br />

to see her,” said Bob. “That’s what inspires me<br />

most about her. If everyone would be like<br />

her…it would be wonderful.”<br />

All jobs are important and having meaningful<br />

employment can make a big difference in<br />

someone’s life. That’s the message the<br />

member organizations of Sioux River Partners<br />

want all Iowa businesses to know. Meaningful<br />

employment empowers people of all<br />

abilities, giving everyone the chance to<br />

find dignity, value and a livelihood through<br />

an honest day’s work.<br />

“It’s been a pleasure and a joy to partner with<br />

Sioux Rivers Partners,” concludes Ellermeier.<br />

“The culture you can create, seeing someone’s<br />

life improve…it’s more than just filling a spot.”<br />

Discussion to focus<br />

on meeting needs<br />

ORANGE CITY—Sit down<br />

with any N’West Iowa livestock<br />

producer — dairy, swine, beef<br />

or poultry — and the topic of<br />

labor is sure to surface in the<br />

conversation.<br />

According to Fred Hall, the<br />

Iowa State University Extension<br />

dairy specialist for the area,<br />

everybody has the solution for<br />

how agriculture can find and<br />

keep a dependable labor force,<br />

but each has a perspective for<br />

the solution that often does<br />

not recognize or jive with the<br />

issues identified by employees<br />

or employers.<br />

To help identify those issues,<br />

Hall and Extension human<br />

sciences specialist in family<br />

life specialist Lori Hayungs<br />

have worked with retired ISU<br />

sociologist Jan Flora to develop<br />

a survey for employees and a<br />

survey for employers.<br />

Hall and Hayungs are asking<br />

farm employees and employers<br />

to identify the issues that<br />

they think are most important<br />

to bringing employees and<br />

employers together for mutually<br />

beneficial arrangements<br />

and strong communities.<br />

“These surveys should tie<br />

together the needs of each —<br />

employers and employees —<br />

and build a framework for programs<br />

that will help stabilize<br />

the workforce and build community,”<br />

Hall said. “Surveys<br />

Speakers will discuss what<br />

community means to immigrants,<br />

consistent management<br />

practices for people,<br />

animal welfare, and creating<br />

community for employees in<br />

Sioux County.<br />

In addition, all attendees<br />

New office will<br />

be located in<br />

former grain bin<br />

BUSINESS<br />

RECOVERY<br />

Continued from page E1<br />

which is about 3,400 square<br />

feet, is finished by June.<br />

This is not the first time they<br />

have converted a steel grain bin<br />

into another kind of structure.<br />

Several years ago, they established<br />

Bill’s Cabin — named for<br />

their late father — a two-story<br />

hotel made from a steel grain<br />

bin just off the No. 8 green at<br />

the Primghar Golf & Country<br />

Club.<br />

As for their grain company,<br />

the construction of a new office<br />

building is the first phase of the<br />

business’ reconstruction project.<br />

It has been operating out<br />

of a mobile office trailer — a<br />

structure that is 280-320 square<br />

feet in size and has no running<br />

water — since September.<br />

The second stage of Nicholson<br />

& Edwards’ rebuilding<br />

process will be to have more<br />

grain storage space built at its<br />

location at 375 Third St. S.W. in<br />

Primghar.<br />

“We’re debating what to do<br />

there yet,” Kurt Edwards said.<br />

“We haven’t made a firm decision<br />

yet. We’re looking at either<br />

flat storage or like a bigger bin.<br />

We’ve had some quotes on<br />

a steel bin that’s like 500,000<br />

bushels.”<br />

Edwards explained what he<br />

meant by “flat storage.”<br />

“You could still get 500,000<br />

bushels of storage, but it’s<br />

more like a hoop building,” he<br />

said. “It’s a little more laborintensive<br />

as far as cleaning it<br />

up. It wouldn’t be as efficient as<br />

a nice, big steel bin, but obviously<br />

there are cost savings<br />

there, too. The steel bin would<br />

cost more than flat storage.”<br />

Whatever the grain company<br />

decides, the process of building<br />

new grain storage space<br />

will not start until sometime<br />

later this year. Edwards said the<br />

hope is the work on that part of<br />

the project would be done by<br />

harvest time.<br />

Adam Paulsen, an apprentice<br />

electrician for Dan’s Electric<br />

in Paullina, puts electrical<br />

wiring throughout the new<br />

office building for Nicholson<br />

& Edwards Grain Co. in<br />

Primghar. The grain company<br />

is in the process of recovering<br />

from a fire that caused an estimated<br />

$1 million in damage.<br />

Depending on what option<br />

the business chooses, Edwards<br />

estimated that new grain storage<br />

space could cost anywhere<br />

from about $500,000 up to $1.3<br />

million-$1.4 million.<br />

Because of the fire, Nicholson<br />

& Edwards — which dates back<br />

to 1956 — lost the one-time,<br />

nearly 80-foot-tall wooden<br />

head house of its grain elevator,<br />

which included its office area.<br />

“At one time, it was the main<br />

house,” Edwards said. “Obviously,<br />

we built bigger stuff than<br />

that afterward. Basically, what<br />

we used it for was blending<br />

grain. It was still in really good<br />

condition, and it worked great<br />

for blending. We stored beans<br />

in there every fall, but it was<br />

mainly for blending purposes.”<br />

The business also had to have<br />

two steel grain bins torn down<br />

and lost grain storage space for<br />

The new office building for Nicholson & Edwards Grain Co. in Primghar will be a steel grain bin that is much larger than the mobile<br />

office trailer that the business has been using since a fire damaged the grain company on Friday, Sept. 8. Photos by Mark Mahoney<br />

AT A GLANCE:<br />

Nicholson & Edwards Grain Co. in Primghar buys<br />

grain from corn and soybean farmers and sells it to<br />

end-users, such as area ethanol plants.<br />

“We do fertilizer application, chemical application,” said<br />

Kurt Edwards, one of the co-owners of the business. “We<br />

sell Pioneer seed corn. We do soil testing and grading. We<br />

do variable rate seeding plans for farmers. Anything to do<br />

with agronomy we’re pretty much into.”<br />

For more information about the grain company, which is<br />

located on the west side of Primghar, call 712-957-2415.<br />

about 200,000 bushels overall<br />

due to the blaze.<br />

“There were two 50,000-bushel<br />

bins that were damaged in<br />

the fire,” Edwards said, noting<br />

that the grain company never<br />

considered not rebuilding following<br />

the blaze.<br />

“We lost our blending capacity<br />

and our office, which was<br />

huge, but we were fortunate to<br />

save the records we needed for<br />

farmers,” he said of Nicholson<br />

& Edwards’ paper and electronic<br />

records. “It could’ve been<br />

worse.”<br />

Edwards noted that the<br />

business has enough storage<br />

capacity — for about 1 million<br />

bushels of grain — to make it<br />

through the upcoming summer.<br />

“Once we got through harvest,<br />

we had a pile, but we<br />

got that picked up before it<br />

snowed,” he said. “We’re in<br />

pretty good shape storagewise.<br />

We’ve hauled enough away this<br />

winter.”<br />

Edwards, the Primghar<br />

may or, noted that he and his<br />

brothers are grateful for all of<br />

the support they have received<br />

from in and around the O’Brien<br />

County seat city of nearly 880<br />

since the fire impacted their<br />

business in September.<br />

“We’re thankful that we’ve<br />

got the support in the community<br />

that we’ve had from<br />

our business partners in town<br />

and all the farmers that have<br />

been loyal and supportive, and<br />

were patient with us through<br />

the harvest process last year,”<br />

Edwards said. “All the businesses<br />

in town have been very<br />

supportive.”<br />

Dustin Van Beek, the owner of Dan’s Electric in Paullina, drills<br />

holes for electrical wiring inside the new office building for Nicholson<br />

& Edwards Grain Co. in Primghar on Tuesday. The grain<br />

company is in the process of recovering from a fire that caused<br />

an estimated $1 million in damage on the evening of Sept. 8.

FRIDAY, APRIL 27 • 10 A.M. - 3 P.M.<br />

CONSIDER THIS:<br />

•Blood is needed every day<br />

•550 units of blood are needed every<br />

week to meet the demands of local<br />

hospitals<br />

•8 out of 10 of us will require blood or<br />

blood products in our lifetime.<br />

•Donating takes 25-30 minutes of your<br />

day, yet makes a life-saving difference<br />

for those who need it
