WADENA, Iowa (AP) — Environmental officials in Iowa say a fertilizer spill near a creek in the northeastern corner of the state has lead to a fish kill-off. Television station KCRG reports that tons of farm fertilizer spilled Monday evening south of Wadena when a truck operated by Nutrien Ag Solutions of West Union overturned there. Officials with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources say some of the fertilizer entered a small stream that feeds into Brush Creek.
Officials located dead fish and sampled high ammonia content in the water near the spill. Cleanup continued Tuesday, and the DNR was monitoring for any effects downstream from the spill.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Police in Des Moines have arrested a woman accused of keeping 11 exotic birds in deplorable conditions. The Des Moines Register reports that 63-year-old Deborah Barber faces charges of four counts of animal neglect. She was arrested Tuesday after police conducted a search of her home in late October and discovered the living conditions of the birds.
Animal Rescue League of Iowa spokesperson Stephanie Filer says three Moluccan cockatoos, four Goffin’s cockatoos, two Amazon parrots and two cockatiels were rescued from Barber’s home. Filer says the birds were found in “filthy enclosures” and suffered health problems, including one that had self-mutilation wounds caused by stress.

(Radio Iowa) – Export markets helped Iowa pork producers sell some animals this past spring when their usual processing paths were disrupted by the pandemic. Iowa State University economist Dermot Hayes says a key aspect of overseas markets is that they like parts of the pig that most Americans don’t have a taste for — like feet and offal. Hayes says, “We need those export markets to eat the pieces that we’re not as interested in and in so doing, they reduce the break-even price of producing the loin, the rib and the belly for the American consumer.”
U-S pork producers had high hopes for 2020, in part because China was still re-building its swine herd after a massive disease outbreak. However, a Sino-American trade war that had barely cooled suggested over-reliance on China could backfire. U-S Department of Agriculture Undersecretary Ted McKinney says some trade bailout money went into developing new markets. “We’re leaving no stone unturned,” McKinney says. “If we can sell an extra container of pork somewhere, that’s an extra container of pork that came from somebody’s farm or ranch and that’s what we want to do.”
McKinney sees promise in a pending trade deal with Kenya and says other African and Southeast Asian countries are also on his radar. China, Mexico and Canada are the largest buyers of U-S pork.

(Radio Iowa) – Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says there is no quit in his team. The Hawkeyes are 0-2 after a 21-20 loss to Northwestern and host Michigan State on Saturday.
Ferentz says there is plenty of time to get the season turned around.
Ferentz says the start to this season reminds him of the 2008 team that started Big Ten play 0-3. That season the Hawkeyes rallied to finish 9-4.
Ferentz says the development of sophomore quarterback Spencer Petras was hampered by the lack of spring practice but he remains confident in his ability. Petras had three interceptions in the loss to Northwestern.
Ferentz expects receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette to miss one game. Smith-Marsette was suspended after being arrested for drunk driving over the weekend.
(Radio Iowa) – Iowa State coach Matt Campbell will let other people decide if running back Breece Hall is a Heisman Trophy candidate. With 901 yards, Hall is currently second in the country in rushing yards.
The Cyclones are 4-2 overall and Campbell would still like to see his team develop more of a killer instinct.
Today is an off day mandated by the NCAA because of the election and Campbell says it did not force them to alter their practice routine much.
