The hearing for the Summit carbon pipeline got underway again Tuesday with landowners discussing their concerns about the pipeline coming through their property. Dennis Graham testified he is concerned about whether there is insurance to cover any damages. He says they are pretty confident that they’re not covered under his personal policy. He says that covers normal farm operations, not a pipeline with compressed C-O-2. The Iowa Utilities Board has landowners listed to testify through Thursday, the Summit hearing could then wrap up.

(Radio Iowa) – The hearing for the Summit carbon pipeline is underway again today (Tuesday). State regulators has originally expected the hearing to wrap up in September, but testimony and questioning has taken longer than expected. The Iowa Utilities Board has landowners listed to testify through Thursday, and if things stay to that schedule, the Summit hearing could wrap up them.

In another pipeline permit case, Navigator is asking regulators to suspend the process for its carbon pipeline in Iowa until the company can get approval for the project from Illinois regulators. The proposed pipeline route includes around 810 miles in Iowa.

(Radio Iowa) – Dry weather gave farmers almost a full week of field time and the latest corn and soybean harvest numbers show the result. The U-S-D-A report show 16 percent of corn was out of the fields by the end of last week. That is up nine percent from the previous week and the corn harvest is now four days ahead of last year and the five-year average. Corn condition improved slightly to 51 percent good to excellent.

The soybeans harvested more than doubled — hitting 24 percent — up from 11 percent the week before. Beans are right about on schedule, just one day ahead of last year, and equal to the average. Soybean condition improved two percentage points so 49 percent are rated in good to excellent condition.
