Northern Iowa’s Mark Farley previews Illinois State

Sports

October 4th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

Northern Iowa coach Mark Farley feels the defense if making significant progress. The Panthers are coming off a 20-14 win over Indiana State and take a 2-3 record into their homecoming contest against Illinois State.

Farley says the Panthers are getting a better pass rush and doing a better job of locking down receivers.

Farley says it is more about players making plays than the game plan.

Illinois State is 2-2 overall and opened the Missouri Valley race with a loss to Southern Illinois.

Farley hopes it is a raucous crowd in the UNI-Dome

NFL Hall of Famer Kurt Warner will return for homecoming and Farley says he enjoys having former players who made it in the NFL address the team.

Iowa youth group launches statewide fundraiser at noon today

Ag/Outdoor, News

October 4th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – The Iowa Four-H Foundation is holding its annual Iowa Giving Day over 24 hours from noon today (Tuesday) through noon tomorrow. While there are some 23-thousand young Iowans in the organization now, the day is an appeal to all past members and others, according to Emily Faveraid, executive director of the Ames-based foundation. “National 4H Week is a great opportunity to highlight the 4H program and all the things that it does for young people throughout the year,” Faveraid says. “Our special Iowa 4H Giving Day is an opportunity for alumni and friends to give back a little bit to support the program that has made a difference for them.”

The program has grown well beyond its original farm-centered roots and now gives young people the opportunity to explore anything and everything that interests them. “A lot of times we think of 4H as kind of an ag-focused organization, and certainly the livestock component and those county fairs are a really important part of our program, but young people are doing so many things through 4H,” Faveraid says. “They’re doing robotics, they’re looking at entrepreneurship, they’re focusing on careers.”

When you visit the website, Iowa 4-H Giving Day-dot-org, you can make a donation directly to any of 50 individual 4-H clubs in Iowa. “We’re also fundraising generally for programs across the state and focusing on the 4H priority areas of STEM, healthy living, leadership and civic engagement, ag and natural resources,” Faveraid says. “Dollars donated to those programs will go back to support curriculum development and trips and special programs that can support and impact young people across the state.”

Anyone can donate, not just former members, and the minimum donation is $5. She says any gift, large or small, is part of a collective effort to strengthen the 4-H program and better serve Iowa’s youth.

Creighton survey shows Midwest economy continuing to slow

News

October 4th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – The Creighton survey of Midwest purchasing managers for September shows the overall measure dropped again. Economist Ernie Goss says they measure the status of the states on a zero to 100 scale, with 50 representing growth neutral. “It was fitting 52-point-seven and that’s still above growth neutral, but down from August 55-point-five, which is obviously stronger. This is the fifth decline in the last six months — so the manufacturing economy in the region is slowing down.

He says it is the lowest lowest number since June of 2020. Iowa’s individual state index was to 50-point-nine in September — down from 55-point-seven in August. Goss says the same issues continue to be a drag on the economy. “Supply chain disruptions, far and above the greatest challenge 43 percent said supply chain disruptions. We had 43 percent said labor shortages,” he says. The other concerns were higher input costs, global recession, and the lowest and reading was higher interest rates. The regional employment is still down seven tenths of one percent. )”When you look at growth though, over the last year, the region grew at about two-point-three percent. Now that compares to the U-S number which is better. The growth year over year for the U-S economy was about four percent,” Goss says.

Goss says we’re seeing less and less inflationary pressures and he expect that to impact interest rates. ” I expect short term rates to rise by another half percent by year’s end. And so that’s that’s a little below expectations. I think the Feds gonna pull back somewhat in the November meeting,” according to Goss. “Again, I expect a half percent increase because of inflationary pressures, which are weakening or diminishing.”  Goss says we’re still seeing a recession. “Let’s call it stagflation, very low growth and inflationary pressures way above the Feds target of two percent. So I’ll call it stagflation. And that’s, of course, not good,” Goss says. “Manufacturing is stronger than the rest of the economy. Housing is where there’s a real problem right now that’s residential housing, multifamily doing okay. industrial, okay. So that’s where we’re seeing some real problems.”

Goss says gasoline prices are probably going to be move a bit higher, as the federal government gets out of the oil selling business from the emergency reserve.
