Work continues on “new look” Jack Trice Stadium

Sports

May 18th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

When the Iowa State football team takes the field for its season opener against UNI, the Cyclones will feel like they are playing in a brand new stadium. Work continues on a new addition to close the south end zone and when it is completed Jack Trice will become the third largest stadium in the Big 12 Conference.

ISU Coach Paul Rhodes says “The feel that I get every day driving up, is one of just sheer excitement, and it is a drastically changed stadium – and that’s empty. When we get it filled up on Sept. 5th against UNI, the support that will be generated that way as well as the reward to the Cyclone fans for something they’ve been wanting a long time, is finally going to come to fruition.”

Rhoads says work will be completed before the start of the season. He says he’s been promised 61,000 seats will be available for the season opener.

Authorities in Pottawattamie County say a Nebraska man was arrested on burglary and assault charges, following an investigation into an alleged break-in and assault at a residence in Council Bluffs.

Pesticide Drift: A Years-Long Loss for Iowa Organic Farms

Ag/Outdoor, News

May 18th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa – When it comes to organic farming, Iowa has one of the largest numbers of certified operations in the nation, but there’s a real danger in the air for those farms and other growers this time of year due to the potential of pesticide drift.
Allowing pesticides to drift is against the law in Iowa, and among those who have been impacted is Andrew Dunham, owner with Grinnell Heritage Farm. He’s had pesticide drift on two of his organic crops, which then require a re-certification process that takes three years.

“In the case of the hay field in 2009, we had to wait until 2012 to be re-certified, so we had non-organic hay,” says Dunham. “The market price isn’t so different there, so that wasn’t as big a loss as the asparagus.” Dunham says his asparagus was hit by pesticide drift in the fall of 2013, and the loss of the organic certification will mean $2 to $5 less per-pound until their crop of 2017.

Also at risk of damages from pesticide drift are some home gardens, along with the state’s fruit and vegetable farms. Paul Ovrum, program planner with the Iowa Department of Agriculture, urges owners of such specialty and organic farms to report any pesticide misuse and sign up for the Sensitive Crops Registry. “This is a registry for producers of sensitive crops, and also bee-keepers,” syas Ovrum. “To list their locations and it’s used by pesticide applicators so that they can minimize the potential for pesticide drift damage.”

Ovrum says the latest count shows more than 2,000 farms and apiaries on the Sensitive Crops Registry statewide.
