NORTHWOOD, Iowa (AP) — The owner of a northern Iowa dog breeding operation who was convicted of animal neglect has been given two years of probation. Worth County court records say 66-year-old Barbara Kavars, of Manly, also was sentenced Tuesday to 420 days in jail, suspended, and fined $65 on each of 14 counts. She was found guilty Oct. 18. Kavars is prohibited from owning and breeding any dogs and can only own one cat during her probation.
Prosecutors say Kavars was holding Samoyed dogs in inhumane conditions when officials raided her operation on Nov. 12 and took about 150 dogs. Court records say 17 dogs had fur matted by feces, skin conditions leading to fur loss, painful wounds, intestinal parasites and other maladies. One dog had to be euthanized. Kavars denied wrongdoing and testified she fed and gave water to the dogs every day.
(Radio Iowa) — The U-S-D-A unveiled its rules for the production of industrial hemp Tuesday and now the state of Iowa can move forward with its plan. Robin Pruisner is putting together that state plan and says they now have the 161-page federal plan that has sections dictating the state plans. “We need to digest those. We had drafted up some rules that we thought was probably the direction that the U-S-D-A was gonna go,” Pruisner. She says the one key part of the plan is how to test the hemp to be sure it is legal. “What I’ve really been looking for is any protocols they have for sampling and testing. In an ideal world all the states would do it the same — instead of the situation we are in now where the states at times are at times wildly different from one another,” Pruisner says. So I am glad that they did lay down some sort of protocol that will help make the process uniform.”
The testing is one of the final steps in the hemp season. “Before a farmer can harvest the hemp, we need to officially sample it and test it and make sure that it is below that point-three percent T-H-C. And once that happens — the producers then can harvest it and process it,” she says. She says on her first look at the U-S-D-A plan, there don’t appear to be a lot of issues. “I think much of what is in that U-S-D-A document aligns with the stature that the governor signed in May here in Iowa,” according to Pruisner.
Pruisner says the prospect of growing hemp has piqued a lot of interest. “I speak to many people about hemp every day. My new hobby is talking on phone,” Pruisner says, “and I think we have a lot of people out there who are giving really serious thought to this. And then there are other people who have maybe read a short article on this or have seen something online, and they don’t have a lot of information.” She says she tells those considering hemp production one thing. Pruisner says the number one piece of advice is you should not plant hemp until you have a contract to sell it. “This isn’t like corn or soybeans where there is an open market and you can sell it to this grain elevator or that ethanol plan. You need to know what your final buyer wants and grow accordingly,” Pruisner says.
She says the release of information for the U-S-D-A now lets them get the Iowa plan completed. “I would say that we’re over halfway there, but there’s a lot of details in this plan from the U-S-D-A that we have to address,” Pruisner says. She says the U-S-D-A will have 60 days to review the plan and give their approval once they complete and submit it.

Police in Red Oak responded at around 7:30-p.m. Tuesday, to a reported Domestic Assault that allegedly took place in the 2400 block of N. 8th Street. When officers arrived, they were told the male party involved in the incident, 44-year old Jason Beacham, of Red Oak, had left the area on foot.
After a perimeter was set-up, officers made contact with Beacham nearly an hour later. He was arrested for Domestic Abuse Assault by Impeding air/blood flow (an aggravated misdemeanor), and a Class-D felony charge of Domestic Abuse Assault 3rd or Subsequent Offense.
Beacham was being held in the Montgomery County Jail without bond. Montgomery County Sheriff’s Deputies, the Montgomery County Emergency Management Agency and their drone, were utilized in the search for Beacham.
