The National Turkey federation says there will be plenty to go around. Heres why. This seasons frozen turkeke stock was flash frozen beginning back in march. That was before the avian flu outbreak occurred in late aprilmay, the last case in june. Hyvee meat experts say it coulddbe a different story when it comes to fresh, unfrozen turkey. The lost turkey stock was in our area. That means groceries may have to get unfrozen birds from further away. A local hyvee store director says that mimiht impact supply. Theres no guarantee that when everything is said and done and you pile all 240 stores together and place an order, that were going to be able to get everything that were ordering.

In todays agribusiness report, the fda wants the publics input. But right now, heres a look at todays opening farm markets. Good morning its. Good morning this is the david geiger. The word natural is on a lot of Food Products in Grocery Stores. And the food and Drug Administration is getting ready to regulate that term. In part because it received three citizen petitions asking about a definition. In a release, the agency says it considers the term to mean nothing artificial or synthetic in the food. So the fda is asking for Public Comment on what natural means with methods of production, processing, and manufacturing. Comments are accepted starting today. Specifically on if its appropriate to define the term natural, how the agency should define natural, and how the agency should determine appropriate use of the term on food labels. This year is a record breaker for iowa. According to the iowa Production Report the statewide average of corn is a hundred 89 bushels per acre. 11 more than last year. And six more than the previous forecast. If thats right. It would smash the previous record of one hundred 81 bushels per acre. Which was set in 2004 and tied in 2009. Soybeans are similar. Its forecast is at 56 bushels per acre. Five more than last year. Which would break the 2005 record of 52 and a half bushels per acre. And thats affecting storage. In some cases, our elevators are filled up. We have some corn on the ground outside. In some cases thats in uncovered piles. I think as folks go through the countryside sometimes theyll see this big white tarp over piles that are out there you cant see the corn underneath. But we have more of it going outside right now. Well, there was a very bearish report monday for the markets. But everything went up on tuesday. So before the market close yesterday. I talked to analyst jamey kohake to see whats going on. We did have a bearish crop report. Did have a very soft trade yesterday, no follow through today. The report did not seem to be bearish enough for the bears. They were already short, and wanted a more bearish timber, i think to liquidate profits. Todays kind of a quazi holiday though some of the funds are not playing. Today i would just consider a dead cat bounce. I wouldnt read a whole lot into it. And for longer term trend, its still a little bit lower yet as the carryout are very comfortable. Exports are slow. Theres some serious issues obviously going on here in the cattle trade. Some of this trade reminds me of trading pork bellies years ago. You limit up, limit down, limit up, limit down. No mercy markets and its getting just flat out ridiculous. Not a lot of fundamentals being traded. The key still is cash trade. Just like in the grains, the key is exports. The key in the meats is going to be cash trade i think through the end of the year to hold this market together. I actually like trying to bottompit the hogs down in here, weve stretched the rubber band further than i could ever see it being stretched. Were roughly at seven year lows. But we need some fresh demand, some cash markets to hold together. And i think you some very, very short, quick rally there. And thats it for the agribusiness report today. Thanks for joining.

Not all that long ago, head and neck cancers mainly showed up in older men who smoke and drank. Now, its a whole different story and could see it, and you could feel it. It was protruding. A former College Football star, 57yearold bill fisher saw a sore throat turn into a lump. And then into cancer. Dont. Dont smoke at all. Never have. Just occasional wine. Maybe a margarita every now and again, but not much drinking. These cancers are just now getting the publics attention, thanks to efforts from actor michael douglas. But doctors do know the cancers cause, hpv or human papillomaviru s. Its spread through intimate contact oral sex, possibly even kissing. Bills treatment an intense combo of chemo and radiation. But youve got to catch it early. A combination of surgery and radiation often is curative early on. Dont ignore that nagging sore throat, a lump on the neck, or a sore on your tongue.

Voters in the area will eventually make the decision. This push comes after the District Voted to close the School Building in gladbrook. All of those students moved into two schools in reinbeck this fall. Kids in kindergarten through 6th grade now go to the elementary School Building, and students in 7th through 12th go to the high school. Last night, at the Elementary School in reinbeck, a dissolution commission met to listen to the responses from neighboring districts. Those included north tama, grundy center, dikenew hartford and Green Mountain garwin. Enrollment has fallen since the building in gladbrook closed. But theres been an uptick in attendance in gmg, where the schools are closer than in reinbeck. 51 00 if the majority of the patrons that vote and say no to dissolving, itll continue to be one whole district and then, as time goes by, there can be conversations with neighboring districts, such as operations sharing of staff. Mathis says it will likely be well into 2016 before people in the district will vote on the dissolution.

Forrest, will we have turkeys for our tables . Lets just say youll have plenty to gobble. This year. The avian flu hasnt ruined turkey time. There will be plenty of the poultry to go around. Heres why, according to the National Turkey federation. This seasons frozen turkey stock was flash frozen beginning back in march. That was before the avian flu outbreak occurred in late aprilmay, the last case in june. According to meat experts at local hyvees, it could be a different story when it comes to fresh, unfrozen, turkey. The turkey stock that was lost, was in our area. Local groceries will have to import fresh turkey from further away and theres no guarantee there will be enough to meet orders. That means potentially limited numbers t a likely higher cost. Until they get into our door, its still a commodity price. We dont know what were going to be at. Were hearing numbers anywhere from . 40 to . 60 per pound higher cost, just to us. Joyner said hell have a better idea of how much that will translate to customers as turkey day gets closer. According to some economists, though, thanksgiving turkey prices at the supermarket are expected to be about 15 percent to 20 percent higher than last year. Well have to wait and see.
