Horses Need Winter Shelter and Safe Handling Tips
An Iowa State University Extension livestock specialist urges horse owners to pick sturdy winter homes with ample storm shelter and an outside exercise area. Daily exercise for stalled horses is essential, and owners should ensure safe handling practices, avoid running horses with other livestock, and prevent access by strangers. Inspect stables for hazards like machinery, junk, and broken fences, and agree in advance on feed, housing, management, and charges to prevent later disputes.

Miller urges flexible pesticide rules at conference
Senator Jack Miller of Alaska urged flexible regulation of agricultural pesticides at the National Aerial Applicators Association Conference in Las Vegas. He warned that harsh restrictions could raise crop prices and hurt the poor if carryover feed grain supplies are adequate, but allowances may be needed if future crop outlook worsens. He emphasized reliance on solid science and warned against arbitrary bans based on weak research.
