DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Agriculture officials say an unusually warm start to November has helped Iowa corn and soybean farmers nearly complete this year’s harvest. State Climatologist Harry Hillaker says statewide temperatures were about nine degrees above normal last week, making it the warmest start to November since 2008. That allowed farmers to get 93 percent of the corn crop out of the fields, nine days ahead of last year’s harvest and two days ahead of the five-year average.
Agriculture officials say they’ve received reports of piles of corn on the ground at some ethanol plants and local elevators. Soybean farmers have 98 percent of the crop harvested, a week ahead of last year. The U.S. Department of Agriculture updates its estimate of the size of this year’s harvest today (Tuesday).
Researchers examining quality of life for dementia patients and their caregivers are looking for participants in Iowa. Some families enrolled in the study will have access to around-the-clock consultations, online education and remote monitoring of dementia patients. The leader researcher is Dr. Steve Bonasera, who specializes in geriatrics at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha.
“How does this approach work in urban settings, suburban settings, rural settings and frontier settings,” Dr. Bonasera says. “How does this work with people of different economic opportunities?” the study aims to recruit more than two-thousand families in a variety of locations to capture a snapshot of dementia care in the U-S. Researchers want to cultivate more cohesive care using web-based resources and by having navigators regularly check in with caregivers.
While those navigators have no formal medical training, Bonasera says they are taught how to triage problems specific to dementia patients. “Some of our navigators have spent two and three weeks trying different solutions to address specific problems until we finally iterate onto a solution that everyone can live with and that works,” he says.
In addition to Iowa, researchers are recruiting participants from Nebraska and California. The goal is to collect data on dementia care across several social, economic, geographic and racial populations. Bonasera says he hopes the study will help families be more proactive in caregiving and decision-making.
