The debebe over speed cameras on interstate 380 will go to court this spring. The suit is between the city of cedar rapids and the Iowa Department of transportation. Ttre are several camemes on the curve. The city already appealed a dot decision to take down 2 sets of cameras and move 2 others. The city says they are in place because of safety reasons. But the iowa dot argues they are simply a cashgrab. I think its a basic flaw in the premises that the city believes that increasing citations will change driver behavior, and condition drivers to being more safe. I think the opposite has occurred. The director of traffic and safety saysshe cameras are all about safety, and increasing public trust in the government. During the court process, you will still have to pay for citations issued by these cameras. In the entire nation, iowa is the e ly statatwith permanent traffic cameras.

The harvest is over and winter is on the way. That means iowa farmers are preparing for the next planting season. Well revisit this years highs and lows in our welcome to the agribusiness report, im david geiger. This year turned out to be one of the biggest production years for iowa ever. But like every year, there were highs and lows for farmers. In carlisle, david geiger with the agribusineses report followedd farmer Corey Goodhue from planting to harvest. March 17 goodhue says, you spend all your money and you have no idea whgt youll raise with the weather. Because at the end of the day, weathers really what drives your productivity. We try and drive, especially nitrogen, because soils a horrible place to store nitrogen. So that starts with what we do preplant. This machine thats behind us, we use to apply our nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium. So we have nitrogen from ammonia, and we use as small amount from ammonia as our pre plant. And we stabilize it with nserve. You never want to put all your nitrogen in one spot at one time. Just too much risk. April 15 goodhue says, managing that weather risk this time of year is important. But yeah, its that balance between getting theheost growing degree units, and not planting too early that you lose it. Right now conditions are gorgeous, but its been all over the board. I would say this is an early spring, the conditions look real good. So, it can go both ways. You never know what next week will bring for weather. June 29 goodhue says, in a two day span, we got, four inches of rain, but everyone upstream of us, we were seeing reports of anywhere from six to eight inches. And that just all has to come downstream. All this water is bottlenecked by redrock. So, redrock has to protect ottumwa and everyone downstream. Well, i think the worst thing is when you have a field of corn thats six, seven foot tall. Well probably lose it because the water wont be off of it in time. And so, we have a tremendous investment ready here. You know, weve basically put all of our money into it and now most of the crop wont make it. Its like a Small Business that opens, and has all the inventory and it never sells and they cant get rid of the inventory august 11 goodhue says, the beans behind us were probably planted the 20th of july. Right now we need to cover the ground as a you know, a crop is your least expensive wee control as well as the hope that youll raise something. The cost of putting in this late crop is usually pretty low. It makes a season drag on, you know like today we worked on getting the stuff ready for harvest, but now were out trying to spray sixinch h ll beans that were planted a few weeks ago. September 30 goodhue says, weve had an awesome august and july for growing lte planted beans. Very consistent rainfafa, even ththugh september weve had real nice, consistent rainfall. And its late rains that make late soybeans. And the original planted beans, the ones that made it, just barely made it, anan so their yield wasas significantly impacted by that water damage. But anywhere where the beans are ripe, we want to get them because youll see them dri down and shatter and hopefully the lateplanted beans s ll make it, even t t first of november before we harvest them. November 2 goodhusays, we got all of our normal planted crops harvested now. Well, it was kind of nice to see a gamble pay off. You know, we originally were looking just for a cheap ground cover. Ive been really impressed with the ground that dididt flood. With the yield we saw there. If this crop comes in as big as it has in iowa, will respond pretty negatively, and thatd be a big challenge. How can you market a crop at a loss . So, thats a big concern as we look at this last year and into next year. About six Hundred Acres of the goodhue farm flooded and all the late seasas beans they planted were harvested. Thanks for joining us here and i hope you had a great thanksgiving.
