Urge thorough check on soybean seed

A high germination test result for carryover soybean seed does not assure good field emergence warns Jim Frier Washington county extension director. He cites results from the Iowa State University Seed Laboratory headed by Leroy Everson. Everson found about 1 of every 4 samples with poor field emergence. Carryover seed stored one year may perform poorly in field emergence despite high germination. A stress test helps flag lots likely to perform poorly under stress.

REAP Cutback Ends Iowa Federal Jobs in 103 Roles

About 103 Iowa federal workers lose their jobs as the Rural Environmental Assistance Program is dismantled. ASCS leader Dale Awtry told Governor Ray’s rural policy council that the June 30 cutback trims one full-time post in each county office and about three in the state office. The council debated Nixon budget cuts and future cost-sharing programs, while officials urged reinstitution of a similar program under a different agency. Governor Ray supported continued soil conservation funding and cautioned against production practices, noting potential nonfunded tiling or liming restrictions.

Iowa proposes special distributorships to justify small liquor stores

DES MOINES DPA Governor Ray backs allowing agency stores when small shops like Eldon liquor outlet sell only about 32000 yearly. Rolland Gallagher director of Iowa Beer and Liquor Control supports the bill, aiming to close seven of 199 stores. Legislation would let the state create special distributorships where no store exists, with private distributors buying all liquor through the state dept and earning a fixed fee.

An OEP spokesman said rationing remains a contingency option but would be the last resort, and current consumption is rising about 300,000 barrels per day due to new emission standards.
