The Iowa State Patrol and deputies with the Guthrie County Sheriff’s Department are on the scene of a motorcycle accident this morning. Details are limited at this time, but we do know the crash occurred on White Pole Road (Highway 6). We’ll have more on this story when information becomes available.
DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey announced today (Thusday) that cost share funds are available to help farmers install nutrient reduction practices. The initial practices that are prioritized for funding this fall are cover crops, no-till or strip till, or using a nitrification inhibitor when applying fertilizer.
“These funds are available to help farmers take steps this fall to reduce nutrient losses,” Northey said. “This is the first step of implementing the Iowa Water Quality Initiative and we have a lot more work to do, but we are excited to start working with farmers to get voluntary science-based conservation practices on the ground.”
The cost share rate for farmers planting cover crops is $25 per acre and for farmers trying no-till or strip till is $10 per acre. Farmers using a nitrapyrin nitrification inhibitor when applying fall fertilizer can receive $3 per acre.
Any farmer not already utilizing these practices can apply for assistance. Farmers are only eligible for cost share on up to 160 acres. Farmers can contact their local Soil and Water Conservation District office to apply. “By allowing farmers to try new practices on a limited number of acres at a reduced cost we want to showcase the benefits of these practices and encourage farmers to incorporate them into their operation,” Northey said.
The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship received $3 million in one-time funding to support statewide science-based water quality practices. The Department has set aside up to $1.8 million that will be available to support these practices this fall. The funds can be used over the next five years and it is anticipated additional rounds of funding will be available that will include assistance for additional nutrient reduction practices, including buffers, bioreactors, wetlands, and others listed in the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy.

The City of Atlantic’s Personnel and Finance Committee will meet this evening in the Council’s Chambers, at City Hall. During the session, which begins at 5:15, the Committee will discuss the City’s interest in the former Sitel building at 1206 Southwest 7th Street, for a possible use as City Hall and/or the Police Department.
In the Fall of 2011, Cass County began in the process of looking for a new facility to house an expanded 9-1-1/ Communications Center, and had explored the possibility of combining such a facility with the Iowa State Patrol, but that concept soon fell by the way side.
Officials say finding more space in the courthouse or on the grounds of the facility has become a necessity, as the current 9-1-1/Communications Center has outgrown its current location, and, because new technology will take up more space and require the use of additional personnel to operate it. Combining the City of Atlantic and Cass County County Emergency Communications operations is one of the options being considered.
The Personnel and Finance Committee is also expected to discuss making changes to the building permit fee charged by the City of Atlantic.
