Grain Firms Cleared in Black Market Car Probe
Five major grain firms Cargill Louis Dreyfus Bunge Central Soya and Cook Industries were cleared of accusations they controlled a black market in train cars from 1972 to 1974. ICC ordered railroads to alter leasing practices and to investigate Continental Grain’s ties to Illinois Central Gulf, citing risks to price access during car shortages.

Family Day at Dairy Show Shines Johnson County 4 H Teams
Four Johnson County 4 H members from the James Ross family brought five dairy animals to the fair with two grand champions and two reserve grand champions. Jim Jr. and Janet produced the champion Brown Swiss and Ayrshire, while Linda and Susan claimed the reserve Holstein and reserve Brown Swiss. New family champions mark a first for the Koss clan as Linda and Susan had prior dairy success. Other exhibitors earned multiple wins in sheep and beef, including Julie Hahn, Curtis Stutsman, and David Juhl, with various champion and reserve titles.
