First ginseng crop harvest scheduled at research farm
The Blue River farm plans its first ginseng harvest in a controlled drying facility with 80 percent shade, 12 years of production from shade, and a year-round crew up to 100 workers. Ginseng, costly to start, is mainly marketed to the Orient with strong interest from China and Korea, while a secure, monitored facility guards the crop from intruders.

UW study on aldicarb raises health risk questions
UW Madison researchers reported an inverse dose response for aldicarb, noting lower doses may cause greater immune deficiency. The study is described as preliminary, with further research and validation needed. A $900,000 EPA grant funds continuation, while officials discuss implications and a potential 1986 ban bill to cover next growing season.

July soybean exports hit lowest since embargo in 1972
Preliminary USDA data indicate July U S soybean exports were the lowest for that month since the 1972 embargo when shipments to all foreign purchases were curtailed and the lowest for any non embargo year since 1968. Iowa State Extension economist Bob Wisner highlighted the decline as pressuring prices. He cited heavy South American shipments, a strong dollar, higher foreign wheat feeding, and an EEC dairy curtailment program reducing soybean meal use by member dairies.
