DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa farmers are close to wrapping up this year’s harvest as much needed rain finally fell across most of the state. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says 87 percent of the corn crop has been harvested, which is a month ahead of schedule. Ninety-three percent of the soybean crop is in from the fields, which is three weeks ahead of normal. The USDA says in Monday’s report that rain over the weekend helped Iowa’s pasture and range land. Hay supplies are running short across 41 percent of the state. Calves are being weaned and sold early due to the short supply of winter hay. The statewide average rainfall last week was 1.65 inches, triple the normal for the week. It was Iowa’s wettest week since early May.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Marco Scutaro bounced back from Matt Holliday’s hard slide by delivering a big hit of his own that helped the San Francisco Giants get their first home win this postseason, 7-1 over St. Louis on Monday night that tied the NL championship series at 1-all. The game got off to a testy start when Holliday barreled into Scutaro at second base to break up a potential double play in the first inning. The play riled up a crowd that had seen three straight losses by the Giants so far in the playoffs.
There was plenty to cheer all night for the Giants. Ryan Vogelsong pitched seven strong innings, Angel Pagan hit a leadoff homer and Scutaro hit a two-run single off Cardinals starter Chris Carpenter that broke the game open in a four-run fourth. Scutaro left after five innings because of an injured left hip, and was going for X-rays.

CHARLES CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa has taken custody of a man charged with killing a 5-year-old girl in 2005. State agents took custody yesterday of 33-year-old Casey Frederiksen from a federal penitentiary in Marion, Ill. He’s charged with first-degree murder and first-degree sexual abuse in the death of 5-year-old Evelyn Miller. He’ll make an initial court appearance tomorrow.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa farmers are close to wrapping up this year’s harvest thanks to some needed rain. The U.S. Department of Agriculture said in a report yesterday that rain over the weekend helped the state’s pasture and range land. The statewide average rainfall last week was Iowa’s wettest week since early May.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — The U.S. attorney’s office in Cedar Rapids has set up a telephone line and a website page for victims in the case against Iowa investment broker Russell Wasendorf Sr. A district judge approved the procedure under a law that says victims of federal crime are entitled to notification of certain court proceedings. The 64-year-old CEO of Peregrine Financial Group pleaded guilty last month to misspending investor funds over a 20-year-old period.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The public is being given more time to comment on Iowa’s livestock proposals. The Environmental Protection Agency says it’s extending the comment period until the end of the month. The proposals would change the state’s regulations of livestock operations to be in compliance with the federal Clean Water Act.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers study says more research and monitoring are needed to reduce the likelihood of damage along the Missouri River in future floods. The study released Monday focuses on remaining vulnerabilities after the Missouri River rose to record levels last year. The 2011 flooding began after the corps started releasing massive amounts of water from upstream reservoirs filled by melting snow and heavy rain.
Most repairs to damaged levees in Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri are expected to be finished before next spring, with work on the river’s dams expected to take longer. Numerous studies are in the works, including ones that explore whether climate change played a role in the 2011 flooding.
STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy still isn’t sure who the Cowboys’ starting quarterback will be against Iowa State. Gundy said Monday that Wes Lunt, who suffered a knee injury on Sept. 15, is “day-to-day” but has started working with the Cowboys’ starters in practice. Backup J.W. Walsh, who’s started three games in Lunt’s absence, also is getting work in with Oklahoma State’s first team. Gundy says Iowa State (4-2, 1-2 Big 12 Conference) will have to prepare for both quarterbacks.
Whoever start Saturday, Oklahoma State (3-2, 1-1) is looking to improve upon an anemic performance in a 20-14 win over Kansas, in which the Cowboys managed just 371 yards of offense.

The Page County Sheriff’s Office says no injuries were reported following two separate accidents Friday. During the first accident, which took place at around 9:25-a.m., when a vehicle passed a tractor pulling two loaded grain wagons kicked up dust and obstructed the vision of the driver of a vehicle behind the tractor and wagons. The vehicle following the grain wagons hit the rear of the second wagon, causing $150 to the wagon, and $5,000 damage to the vehicle, a 2007 Pontiac mini-van. The driver of the van was identified as 78-year old Nancy Nothwehr, of Omaha. The tractor was driven by 66-year old Keith Huseman, of Coin. No citations were issued following the mishap, which happened about two-miles south of Yorktown, near 230th Street and J Avenue.
The second accident happened just after 3-p.m. Friday, on 270th Street, about 3-miles west of Coin. Officials say a 1995 Toyota drivn by 50-year old Renee Pabolo, of Riverton, was traveling west on 270th Street, when she met a grain truck driven by 27-year old Nicholas Ohnmacht, of College Springs. As the vehicles were passing in the opposite directions, the wind caught a tarp on the truck. The tarp flew off and hit the car, causing $2, 500 damage. No citations were issued.
