Dry conditions hurt yield help flavor of Iowa wines

Ag/Outdoor, News

October 5th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – The dry conditions in parts of Iowa this year have been a mixed blessing for wineries. Iowa Wine Growers Association, marketing director, Nicole Eilers says the drought has led to some loss in production — but it also has a positive.

The derecho on August 10th also made an impact on the grape crop in parts of the state.

Another impact of the drought has been an increase in problems with birds looking to grapes as a meal.

Eilers says the birds can eat up a crop quickly.

Eilers says the dry conditions combined with the coronavirus pandemic have hit the industry hard and she expects some wineries will not be able to survive into next year.

Children of deceased Tyson worker allege lax COVID-19 safety

News

October 5th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — The family of a Tyson Foods worker who died of the coronavirus in April has filed a lawsuit claiming his plant took few safety precautions before he and others became infected. Pedro Cano worked on the kill floor elbow-to-elbow with others at Tyson’s pork processing plant in Columbus Junction, Iowa. A wrongful death lawsuit filed by his three adult children says that Cano developed COVID-19 symptoms April 2, days before Tyson announced that two dozen workers had tested positive and that production would be suspended.

The lawsuit says Cano died April 14 at age 51. The plant resumed production with new safety measures a week after his death.

Main flushing may create discolored water in Atlantic & Marne later this week

News

October 5th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

Atlantic Municipal Utilities crews will flush water mains and check fire hydrants this Thursday, October 8th, and Friday, October 9th, throughout the entire cities of Atlantic and Marne. Water main flushing is the process of cleaning or “scouring” the interior of water distribution mains by sending a rapid flow of water through the mains. The cleaning process is accomplished by forcing water at high velocities through the mains. The practice helps to extend the life of the City’s water system.

As a result of the necessary maintenance activity you may temporarily experience rusty colored water on Thursday and Friday. Flow-testing the hydrants helps to make sure they work properly in the event of an emergency.

AMU thanks for you for your patience and understanding.

October 5th, 2020 by admin

By TERESA M. WALKER AP Pro Football Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press that both the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs have returned all negative results, allowing their game rescheduled for Monday night to be played. Also, the AP is told the Tennessee Titans have their first day clear of positive results in a week. The NFL postponed the Patriots’ game at Kansas City from Sunday after New England  quarterback Cam Newton and Chiefs practice squad quarterback Jordan Ta’amu were both added to the COVID-19 reserve list Saturday. Washington canceled a multiplayer workout Monday due to virus concerns.
