Lawmakers reject moving motor tax division to DOT
A House appropriations subcommittee heard from the DOT and Revenue Departments that a full study is needed before transferring the motor vehicle fuel tax division from the treasurer’s office. Rep. Laverne Schroeder noted the move could be sensible in 2 to 3 years as DOT settles in, while officials cited potential tax form burdens and staffing questions. The report also discussed DOT seeking 1.2 million to hook onto ISU Ames steam line, potentially saving 250,000 to 300,000 annually, with no new university equipment needed.

Grass tetany prevention in cattle and sheep
Eldon J. Hans notes spring pasture conditions raise grass tetany risk for cattle and sheep. Signs include staggering, grinding teeth, rapid breathing, and muscle spasms with possible death. ISU’s John Herrick links the condition to magnesium deficiency from lush pasture. Recommendations: mix magnesium oxide in salt/mineral or feed with protein. use half to one ounce daily and start two to three weeks before pasture access, continuing until pastures lose lushness.
