Soil officials warn only about twenty percent of needed acres are contoured and promote conservation tillage and cross slope farming as alternatives. Contour farming still cuts erosion by about half.

Expanded gym plans win approval at Linn-Mar
Linn-Mar High School may expand its gym if the district covers the sprinkler system cost.

The Marion Building Board of Appeals approved the opening with standard sprinklers and metal bleachers, rejecting the full wall removal. The district will seek bids for a solid wall with an optional opening and sprinklers.
