Farmers hopeful for soybean crops despite drought

Ag/Outdoor, News, Weather

September 7th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

ST. LOUIS (AP) – The worst drought in the United States in decades may already have done its damage to the nation’s corn crop now being harvested. But growers say their soybeans may turn out far better. Near Coulterville in southwestern Illinois, Dean Campbell concedes that Tropical Storm Isaac’s remnants “blessed us with some water.” But that won’t save his 900-acre corn crop that’s averaging just about one-tenth of his normal yield with harvesting less than halfway done.  But he says he expects “a reasonable crop” from his still-maturing 1,100 acres of soybeans.

Near Corning, Iowa, Ray Gaesser got nothing from Isaac for his 3,000 acres of corn, which he foresees producing about 60 to 70 percent of normal. But he believes his soybeans could yield some 90 percent of what he’s typically get.

Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Local residents and authorities say President Barack Obama’s campaign rally in Iowa City could make for one of the most memorable and chaotic weekends in decades. Obama is coming today to the University of Iowa for a large rally with students, and he’s bringing along first lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Jill Biden.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A longtime Des Moines manufacturer has been looking for a buyer or other aid as it struggles to survive. Eagle Iron Works has notified Iowa Workforce Development that the company is preparing to close its doors on October 15th, idling 100 workers. The 140-year-old manufacturer makes products for road construction companies.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — A new study suggests that preparations for a nuclear disaster at a nearby power plant actually paid off for Cedar Rapids during the 2008 flooding. The Gazette says the study cites reports from emergency personnel that the preparations “played a large role” in avoiding deaths during the flooding. The Duane Arnold nuclear plant sits near Palo, north-northwest of Cedar Rapids in Linn County.

DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — A preliminary investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board says there is no evidence that any in-flight collision took place before a plane crashed to the ground at an air show in Davenport, killing the pilot. The NTSB released a report yesterday based on information from video footage and witnesses from last Saturday’s air show.

Rural Stuart man found guilty of Assault with a Dangerous Weapon

News

September 7th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

A rural Stuart man was found guilty late last month, of Assault with a Dangerous Weapon. According to online-court documents, and a report cited in the Guthrie Center Times, it took a jury just under two-hours to reach their verdict on August 24th, following the four-day trial for 48-year old Martin Edward Mock.  Mock reportedly approached and then unjustifiably pointed a loaded semiautomatic handgun at Nick Paardekooper of Redfield, in December, 2010.

Paar-dekooper and a group he was with were engaged in a “group hunt” for whitetail deer in a location where they had received permission to hunt. Mock approached Paarde-kooper and challenged his authority to be there.  The jury found that after refusing to accept Paardekooper’s explanation of having received permission to be there, or his offers to leave, Mock pulled a loaded handgun on Paardekooper and pointed it at him.

Mock is scheduled to be sentenced on October 8th.

School Bus driver cited following hit-and-run in C. Bluffs

News

September 7th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

A 40-year old school bus driver from Council Bluffs was cited following a hit-and-run accident in Council Bluffs, Thursday. According to Bluffs Police, Chris Fischer, received a citation for suspicion of leaving the scene of an accident. Witnesses say at around 8:40-a.m., a bus transporting about 30 students to Hoover Elementary School in Council Bluffs struck a parked pickup truck in the 300 block of Benton Street. Afterward, the bus driver allegedly walked the aisle through the students, then went back to the front of the bus and drove off.

After Council Bluffs police located the number 44 bus, Fischer told officers his route didn’t take him on Benton Street, but an investigation resulted in evidence indicating the bus had collided with the pickup. Fischer later admitted to police he’d stopped the bus to discipline a student, forgot to put on the parking brake, and the bus rolled.
