May 20th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

In an update to our earlier report, the Iowa State Patrol said Friday afternoon that a woman from California was injured and transported by private vehicle to the Cass County Memorial Hospital, following an accident on Interstate 80 at around 11:30-a.m., Friday. Earlier reports from the scene said the woman did not appear to be injured, but would be checked for injuries.

The Patrol says 50-year old Jill Feil, of Visalia, CA, was driving a 1996 Toyota 4 Runner westbound on I-80 near the 55 mile marker, when she became fatigued. When fer SUV left the road and went onto the shoulder, Feil over-corrected, sending the traveled portion of the road and into the median, where it rolled over several times before coming to rest on a concrete crossover. The woman was wearing her seat belt. Her injuries did not appear to be serious immediately following the crash.

Deere reports drop in profits for 2nd quarter

Ag/Outdoor

May 20th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

Deere & Company is reporting lower second quarter profits and sales. The world’s largest farming-equipment maker, based in Moline, Illinois, had net income of $495 million and adjusted earnings per share of $1.56. Deere CEO Samuel Allen says the company’s second-quarter performance reflects the continuing downturn in the global farm economy and further weakness in construction equipment sales.

The company has cut back its expected full-year net income forecast to $1.2 billion from $1.3 billion. Even so, Allen says the company is continuing to perform at a much higher level than in previous downturns. Deere is Iowa’s largest manufacturing employer.
