Corn price outlook and lamb market signals from Iowa State
Farm economist Francis Kutish of Iowa State University says CCC sales will rise by spring, keeping corn prices from rising this winter and spring despite a larger last year crop. He notes farm stocks were slightly lower Jan 1, indicating heavy feed use and upcoming movement of CCC corn and farmer stored corn. Lamb feeders can expect profits as a lighter lamb on feed mix reduces late winter supply, with a spring price uptick anticipated though not as strong as last year.

Individual Care and Sanitation Important In Winter Farrowing
Winter farrowing success hinges on clean warm dry pens and individual sow care. Bremer County Extension Director Gene Vincent and ISU swine specialist Emmett Steverier advise removing straw and organic matter, disinfecting, and drying pens days before farrowing. Move sows in one or two days prior, monitor birth, dry newborns, disinfect navels, and provide a 90 to 95 F creep for piglets. Ear notch on days one or two, then iron treatment by day three to prevent anemia.

FTC orders labeling rules for shoes to avoid deception
Shoe makers and retailers face new FTC labeling rules clarifying when leather can be claimed. Materials resembling leather must be properly named and not mislead buyers, with leather content not overstated. Tags on footwear must be visible until purchase and accurately describe leather portions and exclusions.
FTC Rules on Simulated Leather in Footwear Ads
The Federal Trade Commission requires clear labeling for shoes that imitate leather. Terms like simulated alligator or imitation alligator must be disclosed if the material is non leather. This protects consumers from misleading advertising.
