Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley will be questioning U-S Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue today (Tuesday) in a Senate Ag Committee hearing focused on the state of rural America. Rural states like Iowa are facing serious economic threats from looming international trade wars following years of poor commodity prices, in addition to new obstacles on the production of ethanol. “That’s why I intend to stress to Secretary Perdue that trade and ethanol are very important to farmers of Iowa and to the prosperity of the Midwest,” Grassley says, “particularly to good paying jobs in small towns of Iowa.”
According to Grassley, Perdue has already demonstrated he’s very willing to support corn-based ethanol with his efforts on the renewable fuel standard (RFS) and to boost the production and sale of the E-15 blend. Grassley says, “He deserves a lot of credit for working with the ethanol industry and corn producers to get E-15 without damaging a RIN cap that would undercut the RFS more than Administrator Pruitt has already done with the EPA’s potential illegal abuse of so-called hardship waivers.”
Those waivers are designed to benefit oil producers. Corn and soybean growers have seen the value of their crops spiral in recent years, with few lasting rebounds. Those staple Midwestern commodities are in much worse shape than cotton, for example, and Grassley says the Southern farmers complain that cotton is always distressed. “I suppose you could talk about putting a lot of money into rural America through rural development programs,” Grassley says, “but the vitality of agriculture and prices that farmers get is a good part of solving the problems in rural America.”
Today’s hearing began at 9 A-M.

Atlantic FFA Adviser Eric Miller reports the Iowa FFA Public Speaking Leadership Event was held at Iowa State University, Ames, on Monday, April 23rd, 2018. Twelve individuals, including Emily Saeugling, of Atlantic, participated in this year’s Career Development Event (CDE). Saeugling placed first (Gold) in the individual competition during the event. The second place individual for the event was Brookelyn Harned from the West Liberty FFA Chapter.
Miller says the event is designed to develop rural and agricultural leadership, to provide for member participation in agricultural public speaking activities and to stimulate interest along such lines. The prepared public speaking event requires participants to write and deliver a six-to-eight minute speech in front of a panel of judges. Scoring is based on the written manuscript, the delivery of the speech and the answers to questions. The Iowa FFA Public Speaking CDE was made possible with support from GROWMARK and the 2003-2004 Iowa FFA State Officers through the Iowa FFA Foundation.

WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) — Authorities have released the names of a woman and boy killed in a Waterloo house fire. Fire officials say 32-year-old Ashley Smith and her son, 9-year-old Jaykwon Sallis, died Sunday. Firefighters found their bodies on the second floor of the home. Three other people escaped. They’ve been identified as 36-year-old Willie Phillips, 31-year-old Teryn Netz and 12-year-old Aubrianna Smith.
The fire cause is being investigated.
An Omaha man already serving time in the Pottawattamie County Jail, was served with a warrant, Monday, for being a Fugitive from Justice, out of Nebraska. 45-year old Michael Christopher O’Conner was read the warrant and then returned to the custody of Corrections Staff, but not before he told authorities he thought he’d already taken care of the Nebraska charges. And, an Omaha woman was arrested Monday afternoon at a hospital in Council Bluffs. 29-year old Jessica Louise Simmons, was wanted on a warrant through Pottawattamie County, for Disorderly Conduct. Simmons was transported from the hospital to the Pott. County Jail, and booked-in.
