Des Moines Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz says Congress will likely approve initial moves to place grain inspections under federal oversight to remove conflicts of interest. He favors a federal state system but the OMB vetoed that plan due to manpower costs while noting progress on new federal meat grade standards. He discusses grain embargo implications and Poland ties, defending current export capacity and arguing embargo timing affected grain prices.

Iowa considers 65-foot truck proposal amid political maneuvering
The Iowa Department of Transportation again debated legalizing long twin-trailer trucks. The commission approved sending a legislative recommendation for 65-foot rigs on about 5,300 miles, but an attached conditional rider tied to outlawing studded snow tires and highway funding changes raises doubts. Key figures include Commission Chairman Robert Rigler and Commissioner William McGrath, with Gov. Ray's stance noted as vetoing prior legalization. The issue follows last year’s 4-3 vote against change and hinges on legislative action within 60 days to avoid automatic May 1 enactment.
