Dairy investor fears and DNR findings at Futura Dairy
Community members feared the dairy would fail as the Iowa Department of Natural Resources investigated complaints about manure management and dead animal disposal. Violations included improper manure storage near a lagoon and a tile line near the lagoon. The dairy paid a 4500 fine, cleanup is underway with Union Planters Bank, and potential buyers show national interest.

Police limit not to stop more cars for impairment
Officer Jackson said police will not increase stops for impairment or broaden breath tests. Only arrests for blood alcohol levels of 0.08 or 0.09 would rise, focusing on drivers already contacted. Community reaction split on proposed change with attitudes varying by personal experience.
