DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – An Iowa planter and grain cart manufacturer is asking a federal judge to protect it from having to turn over sensitive internal documents in an antitrust lawsuit in which it’s not directly involved.

The Des Moines Register reports that Kinze Manufacturing, of Williamsburg, Iowa, filed motions Thursday in the government’s lawsuit intended to block a deal between farm equipment maker John Deere and seed giant Monsanto. Kinze says John Deere is trying to access a wide variety of internal documents about Kinze’s business, including marketing strategies, sales data and research and development plans. John Deere served the Iowa company a subpoena last month seeking the documents.

Kinze argues those documents would divulge its most tightly held business secrets and irreparably affect its ability to compete with Deere.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A woman on probation for her role in a staged Sioux City bank robbery is now behind bars. The Sioux City Journal reports 19-year-old Heaven Zevenbergen, of Holstein, was ordered to spend 30 days in jail.

Zevenbergen admitted to smoking marijuana in August and quitting her job for two months — both violations of her probation. District Judge John Ackerman told her Thursday that she would likely go to prison if she violates her probation again.

Zevenbergen and her friend, 19-year-old Angelica Perez, were sentenced in February to five years in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree theft, but had their sentences suspended in May. Prosecutors said Perez entered the bank in disguise and passed Zevenbergen, who was a bank teller, a note demanding cash.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Discount bus company Megabus has announced it will make its last trips between Omaha and Chicago early next year. The Omaha World-Herald reports that the five-year-old Omaha-to-Chicago route will end on Jan. 9. The New Jersey-based company says low gas prices have reduced demand for its services. The route also has stops in the Iowa cities of Des Moines, Davenport and Iowa City.

Tickets from Omaha to Chicago were priced Friday between $15 and $59 for rides over the next month. Burlington Trailways continues to offer bus service to Chicago from Omaha. Tickets with that line were priced Friday at $75.

Megabus says the route cancellation is part of a wider reorganization of Megabus’ Midwest hub, with job losses in Chicago and cutbacks in some other routes.
