Oil prices soar to record above $100 per barrel
Oil futures climbed to a record $100.10 as traders bet prices will rise despite ample supplies and softer demand. The surge followed a Texas refinery explosion, a falling dollar, possible OPEC cuts, and U S Venezuela tensions, with March crude closing at $100.01 and gasoline surging.

Deere Posts Strong International Growth Amid Global Demand
Deere says sales outside North America rose 37 percent in the fiscal first quarter aided by higher crop prices and a weak dollar. Analysts predict continued farm equipment demand in 2008 driven by rising incomes, crop prices, and biofuel demand, with large machines in particular rising. Canada remains Iowa’s top export market, worth 3.1 billion in 2006, up from 1.7 billion in 2002 06. Exports support a sizable share of Iowa manufacturing jobs at 16 percent of workers.
