"it's probably going to hurt us in the long run. " new agreements could mean bad business for local hog farmers. "nat sound" donald trump brings his campaign rally back to iowa. and as this pilger church tries to rebuild... another blow from mother nature. how they're keeping the faith. "yeah this is dissapointing, but i know my redeemer lives" tim: good evening and thank you for joining us tonight im tim seaman jenna: and im jenna rehnstrom for many people, eating meat is an important part of midwestern lifestyle. but, what may be good for consumers when it comes to pork prices... is bad for producers. tim: pork prices are at a six year low... and it could get worst for local producers. lukas voss tells us why. vo: cool ... well not so cool ... or rather c-o-o-l.

gets labeled depending on it's origin ... common practice in the u.s. for quite some time ... now however the world trade organization is enforcing tariffs on u.s products in reponse to the law ... something local pork producers think is a big problem. sot: "anytime they are going to impose tariffs on our product it's going to hurt us in the long run. it's going to hurt everybody in this local area." it cost the u.s. livestock industry billions of dollars to implement labeling laws. trade agreements with two of it's largest export partner ... mexico and canada were violated and the laws had no effect on price or demand. canda and mexico can impose more than 1 billion dollars of retaliatory tariffs and this is the fourth time the wto said that c-o-o-l violates trade obligations. sot: "every meeting wie discuss this. basically nothing got done. which is pretty frustrating because we knew we were going to

didn't get it repealed." nats: hogs: and farmers are not just concerned about the price of the pork itself ... bills need to be paid ... transportation is expensive and animals have to be kept safe in proper enviroments. sot: "this facility cost around half a million dollars to built ... pork prices are as low as they have been in 6 years and while the nsumer might have an advantage ... producers are worried." sot: it's like taking a guy when he is down and kicking him. price is already lower and the tariffs are just gonna push the prices lower. "there really is no winner ... maybe the consumer will get some cheaper product ... but as far as the agricultural producer there is really no win. industry groups were succesful in the house lobbying for the repeal. the senate however stays put and has not acted. it's a waiting game ... a game that could cost iowa pork producers dearly. jenna: donald trump is looking to expand his lead with iowa voters . the controversial g- o-p front-runner gathered with voters at the iowa state fairgrounds tonight "nats of music" folks started

before trump arrived. when he took the stage around seven he immediately talked about his love for iowa, saying he's confident that the hawkeye state could set the stage for a mass victory in the upcoming caucuses. trump said quote...."i'm going to be here a lot. you're going to be sick of me." trump also made his first serious attack on fellow candidate sen. ted cruz, saying cruz is not committed to future ethanol subsidies. "he's right now for the oil and i understand it, oil pays him a lot of money, he's gotta be for oil, right?" trump didn't miss the chance to take a shot at democratic frontrunner hillary clinton..... saying that she broke the law and is afraid of making the president upset. tim: some folks used tonight's rally... to rally their opposition to trump's ideas. one man says he's afraid the candidate's stance on the ecomomy would be bad for the middle class and low income americans. "we belive in policies that bring americans together and the biggest policy is

same tired old policies and he has the sort of economic policy that's leaving americans with income inequality." iowa is now 50 days away from it's first in the nation caususes . tim: dr. ben carson was back in iowa today, as well. carson spoke to supporters at a morning breakfast event in burlington. the latest national poll shows carson is trailing gop frontrunner donald trump by 22 points with only 13% of the republican support. carson also made an appearance in moravia, iowa. tim: all of the republican candidates will likely spend much of the weekend prepping for tuesday's g-o-p debate in las vegas. jenna: but in the meantime... but that isn't keeping the bunch out of the headlines dianne gallagher has more. "(carly fiorina/(r) presidential candidate) "i think donald trump knows how to play the media like a master. republican presidential hopeful carly fiorina came out swinging against

(carly fiorina/(r) presidential candidate) i think he's a pied piper. i think he says things and you all rush to cover it. every single network." but donald trump's controversial statement about banning muslims from the u-s doesn't play well with the majority of americans, according to a new nbc news/wall street journal poll- 57 percent of american adults oppose the idea....with just 25 percent supporting it. even so.... polls show trump in a solid lead in iowa over his next closest republican rival, senator ted cruz... who- in audio leaked thursday- was heard questioning the frontrunner and ben carson's campaigns. (voice of ted cruz) i believe that gravity will bring both of those campaigns down and i think the lion's share of their supports come to us trump hit back on twitter, saying "he will fall like all others. (it) will be easy!" the cruz response tweet- the establishment's only hope: trump and me in a cage match. sorry to disappoint, donald trump is terrific. (jason johnson/political science professor) we're this close to iowa right now. i think a lot of supporters will still look at cruz as the viable opposition if trump drops out, but i don't think this has caused a riff between the

the friction between the candidates was enough to prompt trump to hint at a third party run... and ben carson has made a similar threat. (sean spicer/chief strategist, rnc) we're gonna have a great nominating process, everybody will stay in, we will select the best nominee for this party, and we will take back the white house. it'll all work out, i promise." dianne gallagher, reporting. jenna: the university of iowa is having a little trouble with the acronym for its information hub. that's because the iowa student information systems... is known as "isis." it's an online tool students use to sign up for classes or review financial aid. but some have complained that they don't like typing the acronym into a search engine, given its likeness with the terror organization. university officials say they are using the opportunity to create a new information system, which will be out next semester. tim: police in sioux arrested a man and woman after discovering hundreds of guns and explosives in their apartmt. and they way this all came to happen is quite

"satan's working really hard...yeah this is dissapointing, but i know my redeemer lives. because that's the bottom line. what goes on in this life is really minor compared to the glory of what we're going to receive in the ressurection of jesus christ," said makelin. pastor terry says they did have insurance on the project and this should only set construction back a couple months. tim: it looks like big changes may be ahead for a local
