OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – U.S. Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) says he and a bipartisan group of senators will seek to cap federal farm payments to large farming operations. Nelson said Wednesday that the group plans to introduce a measure to limit payments to so-called mega-farms. Nelson says that with farm income booming and the national deficit soaring, “the time has come to rein in these payments.” Nelson, a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, is sponsoring the proposal with Democratic Sens. Tom Harkin, of Iowa; Tim Johnson, of South Dakota; Sherrod Brown, of Ohio; and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York; and Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley, of Iowa, and Mike Enzi, of Wyoming, Nelson says he hopes the measure will be included in the federal farm bill being crafted by Congress.

With the pairings set ticket sales have picked up for the NCAA womens basketball regional which begins in Des Moines on Saturday. Nationally top ranked Baylor plays Georgia Tech and Tennessee will play Kansas in Wells Fargo Arena. Chris Connolly, general manager of the Iowa Events Center says sales have been strong despite not having a local team in the field. Top ranked Baylor enters the “sweet 16” with a record of 36-0. Connolly says the city of Des Moines has developed a strong relationship with the NCAA and that should help attract future events. Saturday’s winners meet Monday night for the right to advance to the Final Four.
Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Cities using cameras that automatically ticket motorists for running red lights or speeding would be banned in Iowa under a bill advancing through the House. The House Appropriations Committee passed the bill 14 to 11 making it available for debate on the floor this year. Its fate in the Senate is unsure but Governor Terry Branstad has said he’d consider signing it if it reaches him.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A plan by a nation’s governors group would keep F-16 fighter jets at the Des Moines-based Air National Guard unit. The Des Moines Register reports the plan has been submitted to the U.S. Air Force by President Barack Obama’s Council of Governors, which is co-chaired by Governor Terry Branstad.
GRANVILLE, Iowa (AP) — A 56-year-old man has been injured in a crash while chasing a suspected gasoline thief near Granville in northwest Iowa. Peter Heidesch of Remsen was injured Saturday when his car rammed a utility pole about a quarter-mile north of Granville. Heidesch was taken to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A former Des Moines apartment complex employee has been accused of stealing more than $31,000 from rent payments. The Des Moines Register reports that 34-year-old Bobbi Jo Ritchie is charged with theft and has bonded out of jail. She’s accused of pilfering cash from rent payments at the Bell Avenue Apartments.
Business is good at the Atlantic Municipal Airport. Airport General Manager Barry Reid said at Wednesday night’s City Council meeting, that fuel sales over the past year amounted to 49,600 gallons, which is 17,300 gallons more than 2010, but not as much as in 2009, during which 63,000 gallons were sold. The City realized a profit from the sale of aviation fuel over the past year, amounting to $13,000. He says that’s because crop dusters were able to get out more often and spray the fields.
Reid said also that all of the hangars at the airport are full, and there is a waiting list of at aircraft owners and operators hoping to shelter their planes. He says 28 planes are based out of the Atlantic Airport. Of those 28 planes, 18 are owned by 15 separate businesses. If the City decides to erect additional hangars, he says it could apply for a grant from the State, which would pay 80-percent of the cost. The City would have to pick up the remaining 20-percent. And, pending a Federal grant approval, it’s hoped work can begin soon on the taxiway grading.
Reid said this will be a busy year out at the airport, for public events. There is the annual “Flight Breakfast” this summer, the “Fly Iowa” Aviation Promotion Group will be in Atlantic September 15th – details will be available as the event draws near on the group’s website www.flyiowa.org – but, Reid says there will be a 90-minute airshow, sky divers and stunt pilots. And, just like last year, there will be a circus held on the airport grounds. Additional details on those events are forthcoming.
In other business, the Atlantic City Council Wednesday: Approved amendments to the Fiscal Year 2012 Budget; Passed a resolution authorizing bids for improvements to the Street Maintenance Building; Approved the purchase of an asphalt paving machine from Puckett Equipment, Incorporated for $44,365; and, approved resolutions establishing fund balance policies that protect the Volunteer Fire Department’s funds, and amended a section of the City’s Personnel Policy pertaining to its health insurance plan.
