Iowa officials trying to stop spread of gypsy moths

Ag/Outdoor, News

April 29th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

BELLEVUE, Iowa (AP) — Officials are trying to stop the spread of gypsy moths in eastern Iowa’s Jackson County. The Telegraph Herald reports that the state conducted aerial treatments of land west of Bellevue earlier this month. The gypsy moth has spread slowly west from Massachusetts since the 1870s. It’s an invasive species that can cause extensive deforestation as its larvae eat leaves, particularly oak leaves.

Mike Kintner is gypsy moth outreach and regulatory coordinator for Iowa, and he says last year’s treatment reduced the number of gypsy moths, “but we noted that there was movement northward. This year we’re trying to stop that spread.”

Flooding may impact Iowa home sales this spring

News

April 29th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) — The warmer weather usually means homes sales start to pick up, but the president of the Iowa Association of Realtors expects the flooding to have some impact. John Goede says some of the impact may have already been seen in the March sale numbers that were down. “I know that there were all kinds of buyers and sellers and real estate agents that were just trying to keep their communities from washing away,” Goede says. He says it’s natural that the flood response would have an impact. “There’ll be few showings, fewer listings, few pendings, just because of that.” he says.

Goede believes the impact is just starting. “I think it’s going to be a dampening impact,” Goede says, “I would be surprised if the numbers would come up. I think it will dampen it for the next three months.” Goede has a real estate agency in Spencer.
