Iowa early News Headlines: Tue., 11/6/18 – General Election Day

News

November 6th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press at 3:40 a.m. CST

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Democrats in Iowa seek to regain some power in Tuesday’s midterms after back-to-back elections that have seen the traditionally centrist state take a sharp turn to the right. But Republicans are hoping to fend off challengers in several elections to maintain their control of the governor’s office, the Legislature and the congressional delegation.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The general election Tuesday pits a sitting Republican governor who takes credit for a healthy economy with low unemployment against a wealthy Democratic challenger who insists Iowans need better health care and a government that works for everyone. Given Iowa’s tendency to support incumbents, Gov. Kim Reynolds believed she’d have an advantage when she rose to the office from lieutenant governor. Polls, however, have indicated Reynolds has struggled to pull ahead of businessman Fred Hubbell.

CLIVE, Iowa (AP) — A single mother from the small Iowa community of Redfield has claimed her share of a nearly $700 million Powerball prize. Iowa Lottery officials confirmed Monday that Lerynne West was one of two winners of a $688 million jackpot drawn Oct. 27. She’ll share the prize with someone who bought the other winning ticket in New York City. West opted for the cash option, which will pay her an immediate $198.1 million, minus taxes.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Major party candidates for Iowa governor are making one last quick tour of the state to rally support in an extremely tight race. Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds will fly around the state holding rallies at eight airports before ending with a final stop alongside controversial U.S. Rep. Steve King. Democrat Fred Hubbell and his running mate state Sen. Rita Hart have seven stops planned as they continue to drive around the state before ending their day at an election rally in Des Moines.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs general manager Brett Veach has quickly reworked the roster since taking over last summer, and seemingly every move has paid off. There were the free-agent acquisitions, the aggressive trades and even the draft picks that raised some eyebrows. And now, the Chiefs are in control of the No. 1 seed for the AFC playoffs with seven games to go.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals have returned from a long weekend off to face the daunting challenge of playing the Chiefs in Kansas City on Sunday. The Chiefs opened as 15-point favorites and the line grew to 16 ½ points on Monday. The Cardinals made several roster moves during their bye week, including releasing former starting QB Sam Bradford.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska’s Devine Ozigbo needs 204 yards over the final three games to become the school’s first 1,000-yard rusher since Ameer Abdullah in 2014. Ozigbo began the season No. 3 on the depth chart and wasn’t a starter until the fourth game. Ozigbo originally made a verbal commitment to Iowa State in 2014. He changed his mind when Nebraska started showing interest because he had seen what Rex Burkhead accomplished in Lincoln. Ozigbo and Burkhead grew up in the same area of Texas.

Harvest moves ahead again with dry week

Ag/Outdoor, News

November 5th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) — Farmers made good use of dry weather again last week to advance the harvest. The corn harvest went from 49 to 72 percent complete last week as there are nearly six dry days for fieldwork. The corn harvest is three days ahead of last year — but still one day behind the five-year average.

The soybean harvest moved form 71 to 88 percent complete by the end of the week Sunday. The bean harvest is still seven days behind the five-year average, or the same as it was last week.

The report shows central Iowa farmers have combined 80 percent of their corn for grain while those in the southwest part of the state have only 55 percent of their corn out of the fields.
