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 />

BUSINESS<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 />

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 />
Construction is progressing on facilities at the Sioux County<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 />

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 />

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.

BLOOD BANK<br />
FRIDAY, APRIL 27 • 10 A.M. - 3 P.M.<br />
in the bank’s parking lot<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
