Preconditioning calves gains traction in Iowa programs
About 25 percent of Iowa calves were preconditioned last year as part of a growing program to improve marketing as feeders and reduce sickness. The IVMA and ICA push requires vaccination, castration, dehorning, weaning, and start-on-feed with a veterinarian certificate and green tag. Surveys show low death loss and high willingness among feeders to recommend the system, with ISU and ICA planning more guidance in upcoming Journal series.

Tax panel urged to justify work in Iowa
Governor Ray urged the blue ribbon task force studying Iowa property tax problems to justify its positions with solid research. He noted legislative acceptance hinges on how well their work is researched and constructive. The panel favored not adopting 100 percent productivity for agricultural land valuing, a concept tied to prior vetoed tax plans.
