A traffic stop at around 5:17-a.m. Tuesday (Today), in Red Oak, resulted in the arrest of a man from Creston. Red Oak Police say a vehicle driven by 37-year old Jimmy Spencer Cooper, of Creston, was stopped near Highway 34 and Ironwood Avenue. Upon further investigation, Cooper was arrested for OWI/1st offense. He was being held in the Montgomery County Jail on $1,000 bond. Red Oak Police were assisted by Deputies with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.
Two accidents took place in Red Oak Monday due to slick, snow covered roads, but there were no injuries. Red Oak Police say an accident involving a pickup and an SUV took place at around 11:47-a.m. in the 1600 block of E. Summit Street, as the 1998 Dodge Dakota pickup, driven by 64-year old Marcia Lehman, of Griswold, was turning from westbound Summit Street into a storage unit parking lot. A 2009 Cadillac Escalade driven by 47-year old Hugo Lepe Duenas, of Red Oak, was attempting to go around the pickup, when the SUV went out of control and struck the rear of the pickup. Authorities say there was heavy snow and slick/slushy roads at the time. No citations were issued. Vehicle damages amounted to $1,000.
The second accident happened at around 12:10-p.m. Monday, in the 800 block of E. Summit Street. When officers arrived, they found a 2013 Ford Explorer in a yard on the south side of the street. The SUV, driven by 59-year old Drue Powers, of Red Oak, was eastbound, but had traveled west, gone down a hill and was in the intersection of N. 8th and E. Summit Streets. A 2007 Ford Fusion driven by 25-year old Malachi Hayes, of Adair, was westbound on E. Summit, and as it traveled down the hill, was unable to make the curve and traveled in the SUV’s lane before striking the SUV on the driver’s side. The Ford then traveled down the hill and stopped at the intersection. Damage amounted to $17,000. There were no citations issued due to the weather/road conditions.

MARION, Iowa (AP) — More than a year after his death, an Iowa soldier has received a promotion. KCRG-TV reports that 22-year-old Mason Webber, of Marion, was killed on Sept. 5, 2019, in an accident on the military base in Fort Hood, Texas. On Monday, Webber was posthumously promoted to specialist. His mother, Tonya Grefe, called the promotion “a good part of the closure.” Grefe received her son’s honor at the National Guard Armory in Marshalltown.

AMES, Iowa — Registration is open for Practical Farmers of Iowa’s second annual cover crop boot camp. The event is free, and will be held virtually Dec. 3-4 from 9 a.m. to noon. The two-day workshop will explore how cover crops boost soil health, improve weed control and provide grazing opportunities. 
Row crop and livestock farmers of all cover crop experience levels are invited to attend. Certified crop advisor participants can earn one continuing education unit (CEU) for each session, for a total of six credits in the soil and water category across both days.
Registration is open until Dec. 3. To sign up, visit practicalfarmers.org/ cover-crop-boot-camp. Farmers without access to a computer or reliable internet connection will have the option of calling in to participate. For questions – or technical support with Zoom or the call-in option – contact Lydia English at lydia@practicalfarmers.org or (515) 232-5661.
Boot Camp Agenda: Attendees will hear from a combination of farmers, university researchers and agricultural professionals.
Day one will focus on the basics of cover crops in each topic area, and will provide a good introduction for those just getting started with cover crops. Sessions this day will explore:
Day two will feature more advanced strategies for those row crop and livestock farmers wanting to advance their cover crop journey. Participants will learn:
Each presentation will be followed by 20-minute small-group discussions, where participants will have a chance to network with one another and share their experience using cover crops. Sarah Carlson, PFI’s strategic initiatives director, says “These breakout discussions will be a fun way for farmers to interact with and learn from one another. They will also help to overcome Zoom meeting burnout by creating deeper connections between farmers.” Farmers are encouraged to attend both days of the boot camp, but may also attend just the day that best suits their experience level. More details, including the full agenda and speaker information, are available at practicalfarmers.org/ cover-crop-boot-camp.
The cover crop boot camp is funded by the Environmental Protection Agency, and is made possible by the support of Agribusiness Association of Iowa; Coalition to Support Iowa’s Farmers; Iowa Agriculture Water Alliance; Iowa Corn Growers Association; Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship; Iowa Learning Farms; Iowa Pork Producers Association; Iowa Seed Association; Iowa Seed Corn Cover Crop Initiative; Iowa Soybean Association, Iowa State University; Natural Resources Conservation Service; and Soil Health Partnership.
