I would feel so anxious that i ran out of the classroom because i thought i was going to throw up because theres just so much pressure they put on you. Since then the pressure of tests has been unrelenting. Graphic a new study of seven million students. Found that from prek to 12th grade, they take an average of 112 standardized tests. Spending as much as 25 hours a year just testing. But it isnt helping kids learn more testing didnt yield better students . No. Did not yield better results. It doesnt have any particular strategy to it and doesnt necessarily do what any of us want our tests to do so now the Obama Administration is saying enough calling on schools to cut back tests to no more its a major reversal to fix a problem they admit they helped create. In new york city last year parents got so fed up 20 of them let their children opt out of the tests. And teachers have been frustrated, too. What it does it keeps you from giving them what you know they need because your giving them what the test says they have to have.

So under the white house plan annual standardized testing will stay as an assessment tool. But fewer overall tests, with more local control for ethan hughes the changes cant come soon enough.

Harvest is almost done. After the break. Hear from a farmer who just finished. And is now working to protect his fields. Thats dear future, sailed through that diaper stage, learned to walk, and im reading like a thirdgrader. But now its time to go out into the world. And from what i hear, its not all toys and games out there. Will you look out for me, future . Geiger. This year was favorable for farmer gordon wassenaar. In prairie city, iowa. Yesterday. He finished up his harvest. But after all the crop is gone. Farmers have other worries. Soil and nutrient retention. Harvest has went very well, weve just completed harvest today. Weve had very few rainouts. We went pretty much straight through the beans, then the corn. The weve had very little field loss. This is wassenaars 62 crop. Now done. But his job isnt done. Hes soil. We went to notill over 20 years ago and five years ago we just started to try cover crops. We did it primarily for the erosion and now with the new Water Quality issues. It comes in, it really works. It helps keep the nutrients in the for cover crops. And works with his local Soil Conservation service to experiment. Were standing in a test plot, now, that were doing with the Jasper County scs and part of them were seeded by hand early. And then, and then part of them with a little drill. A plane also applied seed to this field. The idea of the plot was to demonstrate different ways of planting cover crops. And different varieties like radishes, clover, and cereal rye. Wassenaars experience shows off what conservation practices can do. I dont know of anything that if youre farming row crops that will do any more to save soil than notill and a cover crop combination. And the crops are in the bins. Youve just finished up your last couple rows of corn, how does it feel to be done this season . It always feels good to be done, especially in nice weather. Wassenaar says all his land is seeded with cover crops. Except for 15 acres. Which hes using as a check plot. Great weather conditions have harvest progress way ahead of last year. And slightly ahead of the five year average. Corn is 72 percent harvested. And beans are 92 percent done. Markets are still taking it in. We did see a nice rally in corn yesterday. Most though it was a spillover off the wheat complex, kind of turnaround tuesday with corn as we wind down with harvest. Still big supplies overhanging the complex still excess grain being sold at market providing bearishness too. But we are back better today despite lower energies. Weve kind of been falling in the crude market and crudes down over a buck today. But were still being supported very well off of demand. China is back in the market and also too, harvest is just about done. Were a little bit bearish short term here. Still got a hangover from whos report on beef, pork, some products there. That overhanging the market as well with cash trade last week. Looks like the futures are fairly well priced right now. I think were supported off of todays lows were at right now as long as cash holds in. We did see a lot of call buying in hogs late last week. That now playing through here today or yesterday eve at all. Still got a hangover, plus large supplies yet to come on the market.
