The Gleaves family of Oakland was recognized Monday as recipients of the ‘ Gary Wergin Good Farm Neighbor Award’ during a ceremony at the Oakland Community Center. Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey presented the Terry and Amy Gleaves family with the award in front of more than 70 family members, friends and neighbors.
Gleaves said that he was “Honored and humbled” to receive the award.” He added, “Growing up on the farm all the neighbors helped each other out – whether it was vaccinating cattle or chopping silage – all the neighbors pitched in to help. It was a real neighborhood effort to get the work done. This award is not only for me, but for all of my neighbors as well.”
The Wergin Good Farm Neighbor award, sponsored by the Coalition to Support Iowa’s Farmers (CSIF), recognizes Iowa livestock farmers who take pride in doing things right. That includes caring for the environment and their livestock and being good neighbors. The Gleaves have a cow-calf herd and operate a row-crop farm in Pottawattamie County. Becky Lockwood nominated the Gleaves for the award for being a great farm family that has a strong commitment to the community and their neighbors.
The Wergin Good Farm Neighbor Award, presented by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Iowa Ag Radio Network in partnership with CSIF, is presented nine times annually to an Iowa farm family who raises livestock. It’s given in honor of distinguished farm broadcaster Gary Wergin and recognizes families who take pride in being good neighbors and stewards of the land.

Authorities in Crawford County held a news conference Tuesday evening to discuss the investigation into the deaths of two people found in a burned-out home just outside of Deloit, but there was little new information released. Sioux City television station KTIV says that when firefighters from Deloit, Denison and Vail arrived on the scene early Monday afternoon, they found the main dwelling on the rural property and a pick up truck on fire. They later recovered two bodies from the scene.
The bodies were transported to the Iowa State Medical Examiner. Officials say the autopsies to determine the cause of death are complete, but they can’t release the cause of death at this time, or the identities of the two who died, as both remain under investigation.
Authorities said they’re not ruling out foul play just yet, and are actively seeking the help of the surrounding community. They say that two white males were seen near the area of the fire in a newer, dark, extended cab pickup truck, and they believe those two males may have witness information regarding the fire that can help them understand what happened on that rural property.
If you have further information about the incident, or the men at the scene, call the Crawford County Sheriff’s Office at (712) 263-2146.

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) — Jon Niese struggled in his first spring start that was delayed by shoulder trouble, allowing four runs in two innings of the New York Mets’ 9-8 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday. The Mets’ opening-day starter last season, Niese pitched until June before being sidelined by a partially torn rotator cuff. He returned in August, going 5-2 with a 3.00 ERA the rest of the way. He allowed six hits and walked two Tuesday.
The Cardinals tagged Niese for four runs in the second. Kolten Wong hit a two-run homer in the inning, hours after manager Mike Matheny expressed his support for the struggling second baseman. Fighting strep throat, Adam Wainwright made only one big mistake in 3 1-3 innings: Josh Satin hit a 2-1 pitch over the center field wall, giving the Mets a 1-0 lead in the second.
