Great Plains see wind erosion drop to five-year low
Wind erosion across the Great Plains eased to its lowest level in five years as better soil moisture limited damage. The Agriculture Department's Soil Conservation Service reported 2.8 million acres damaged in the seven month season from Nov 1 to May 31, 35.6 percent of the prior year’s 7.9 million acres.

Fatal hog fever found in Brazil
African swine fever, nearly 100 percent fatal to domestic swine, has been detected in Rio de Janeiro Brazil. APHIS says the finding will not affect U S meat and livestock imports which are already restricted by other diseases. USDA inspectors will increase scrutiny of ship stores clothing and equipment from Brazil as a precaution. A USDA lab confirmed the diagnosis and a team of veterinarians has been sent to Brazil to advise the government.
