Iowa State University sociologist Art Johnson spoke in Mt. Pleasant on March 18 about urban and rural school problems. Rural districts struggle with small enrollments driving high costs per pupil and limited course offerings while urban districts face rising property taxes and financing pressures. He outlined three options: maintain the status quo with higher costs, reallocate within the system, or reorganize districts to balance costs and opportunities.

Burning weeds and crop debris is a poor control method
Iowa State University botanist E P Dutch Sylvester warns that burning cropland and stubble does not reliably destroy weed seeds and harms soil organic matter. He notes seeds in soil cracks survive, fire harms fence posts and coatings, and suggests alternative practices such as spring tillage, harrowing, mowing, cultivation, and herbicides as practical controls.
