Shape study eyed to curb grain dust explosions at grain elevators
Iowa City University of Iowa professor Keith Beddow leads NSF funded work in particle morphological analysis. The method measures sizes and shapes of tiny particles from grain dust to metal filings to predict storage behavior and burning properties. He aims to alert grain firms and apply findings to machinery wear, cement, drugs, and other industries.

Grassley seeks change to 1977 farm law
Rep. Charles Grassley of Iowa said he will introduce legislation in the 96th Congress to shift the feed grain set aside deadline from November 15 to October 15 each year. He accuses the President of political timing by delaying the new farm program announcement after the election. Grassley moves quickly to advance the bill through committee when Congress reconvenes.
