Insurance gaps hurt driver in safety law case
A man bought a car with what he believed was full coverage. He later discovers his policy only insured collision, not liability. After an accident the state requires liability coverage or a $3,000 deposit. With no liability protection, his license is suspended and his car repossessed, leaving him to face a heavy suit and legal fees. The department notes many similar cases and stresses buyers get the correct protection.

Rearing chicks: straight-run better than started purchases
Nordskog argues day-old chicks yield best results with proper management. Started chicks cost more upfront and carry higher early disease risk, including Newcastle disease. Studies show straight-run pullets are cheaper per bird than sexed pullets, especially with heavy breeds and also with Leghorns.
