(Learfield Sports) — Iowa State coach Matt Campbell is not ready to name a starting middle linebacker for Saturday’s season opener against South Dakota State. Mike Rose, O’Rien Vance and Bobby McMillen have been competing for the spot vacated by Joel Lanning. Campbell expects all three to play in the opener. Campbell says practice this week will determine which one starts Saturday’s game.
(Radio Iowa) — The U-S-D-A on Monday revealed details of a trade relief package for farmers. For now, it amounts to $4.7 billion, with the possibility of more aid if exports continue to suffer. Iowa Soybean Association President Bill Shipley, who farms near Nodaway in Adams County, says the best they can hope for is some mitigating help to assist farmers in staving off red ink in their operations.”We can at least pay our expenses. That’s about all it will do is get us up to our break-even price,” Shipley says. “Everybody’s got a different break-even price, depending on yield and price. It’ll get us up to break-even, maybe. It’ll make our bankers feel a lot better.”
Soybean producers are set to receive $3.6 billion in direct aid. Many farm groups have responded with calls for “trade not aid.” Shipley says the farm economy and the impacts of the retaliatory tariffs is worrying Iowa lenders. “I’ve talked to several, I haven’t talked to my own, but I’ve talked to several others and they are concerned, deeply concerned, about the farm economy,” Shipley says. “If you can at least cover your expenses, it’ll make them feel better. It’ll make me feel better, too. I don’t want to be going backwards.”
Shipley hopes U-S and Chinese negotiators are making progress with their discussions about the current trade war and find some possible ways to resolve it. “They’re supposed to meet for six or seven days and at least they’re talking, that’s always positive,” Shipley says, “and that’s the best we can hope for.” Shipley says trade issues are complicated and involve more than just agriculture so it could take some time to hammer out a positive agreement. On Monday, U-S Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue said producers can begin to apply for the aid on September 4.

(Radio Iowa) — A murder trial of a Dallas County couple is being moved from central to northwest Iowa. The trial of Marc and Misty Ray is scheduled to begin on February 4, 2019 in Woodbury County. A judge granted a change of venue request citing extensive media coverage of the case. Marc and Misty Ray were the adoptive parents of 16-year-old Sabrina Ray, who was found dead in the Perry home in May of 2017. An autopsy showed she was “severely malnourished” and weighed just 56 pounds at the time of her death.
In April, Sabrina Ray’s adoptive grandmother was sentenced to 20 years in prison for failing to seek medical attention for the dying girl. In February, her adoptive brother was sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to kicking and seriously injuring Sabrina a few weeks before her death.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Two days after clarity came to Nebraska’s quarterback situation, things got complicated again. True freshman Adrian Martinez will be the starter when the Cornhuskers begin the Scott Frost era against Akron at home on Saturday night. Tristan Gebbia is the man he beat out for the job. Gebbia wasn’t at practice Monday and the university registrar said he was no longer enrolled. That would leave sophomore walk-on Andrew Bunch as the top backup
