Iowa Farm Outlook on Beef and Veal Imports

Despite gains, imports likely stay below quotas. pork lamb and mutton imports also higher, live cattle from Canada and Mexico above prior levels, cattle prices at Omaha averaging 19.75, while Choice steers fell and European prices declined, narrowing exporter advantages.

Bedding Down Clothes For Summer Storage Tips
Dryclean or wash all garments before storing and repair items. Remove belts and fastenings, fold or hang with tissue to prevent creases, and store sweaters flat. Use moth preventives or have drycleaned mothproofing, seal in air tight boxes, and keep in cool dry spaces away from light. For limited space, store high value winter garments commercially.
