this was the scene monday at the wagon wheel bridge near logans port. tons and tons of ice flowing down the des moines river have bent the bridge in several places. authorities say they're now watching an ice jam in fort dodge... they say if it were to break loose, the bridge may succumb to the river completely. ice is also causing flooding in the ledges park area... the d-n-r says the jam there did break, causing water levels to recede some flooded out areas. but it wasn't enough to reopen a portion of 255th street... "it affects traffic coming through here. it's only about a half a mile closure bit it cuts it off, so you can't get through so you gotta make alternate plans on how you're gonna come to the park if you come south from boone." the dnr expects roads to reopen in the next few days. it's time now to get a first look at the forecast... let's head down to at

joe franz was accused of poaching a deer on his own property in november... the d-n-r said he used bait to lure his prize buck.... but franz claimed the mineral licks were from the land's previous owners... and he notified the d-n-r of it before hunting. friday, a judge decided to clear him of hunting over bait charges. that's the first time someone has won this type of case against the d-n-r. now republican lawmakers are looking at ways to avoid another situation like this, by making baiting laws less general. today state senators are fighting to prove there's no going back on an expensive mistake. in 2014, the iowa workforce development mistakenly paid nearly three quarters of a million dollars in unemployment checks. it was apparently due to a problem that occurred when the reporting system crashed. now some want the people who benefited from that mistake to keep their money... 'you cant get blood out of a

waukee students will soon start their day a little differently... monday night the school board decided to require all high school students to begin their day with the pledge of allegiance. the issue was brought up by a parent who questioned why the requirement only applied to students through tenth grade. monday's decision came with no formal plans for how the school will implement it. american flags already fly in every high school classroom. some johnston students will soon have to pay for their bus ride to school. last night school board members approved a new paid ridership program. it will require any student who lives within one mile of school to pay for the bus trip. that's expected to expand to within two miles once the new high school opens. the charge will be around $460 dollars per year... board members say the change will help with the school's budget during this time of expansion. west des moines, ankeny, urbandale,

wives' tales for ways to combat it. an expert gives her take on what does and doesn't work... haley hernandez reports. letting the flu run its course just doesn't sound as simple as everything the internet tells you to do. "the chicken soup really is effective. garlic can be a little bit effective, but other types of advice are really bad." really bad and really dangerous! for example, to sit in a sauna with the flu, is one mouzoon says needs to be ignored! "any illness that gives you a high fever is giving you that high fever to help kill off the virus. but if you add to the fever, you can actually develop heat stroke from that or brain damage from causing your body heat to rise." laying in bed is where it's at! from here, some wives tales can come in handy!

open your sinuses, doesn't do anything absolutely to shorten the course, but it does alleviate some of the symptoms." and alleviating symptoms is about all you can do. which is why it's important to get an anti-viral within the first 48 hours. "it will shorten the course of the flu, if you take it too late and you're already swarming with flu viruses, you're not going to have much benefit." the flu shot might not be a guarantee to avoid all of this, but you can rest assured it's also weakening the virus to make this easier to endure. "it takes about 2 weeks to become effective." plus, it helps protect weakened immune systems around you, like kids under 2 and adults over 65-years-old. dr. mouzoon says if you start to recover from the flu, but suddenly start feeling lousy again, check back with your doctor to make sure you haven't picked up some sort of secondary infection. tuesday will be a nice quiet

"let's check some traffic this morning." you're used to hearing this voice "what a guy, what a trooper." on w-h-o radio each weekday morning. way around." but, something is different about van harden.

"i would find myself in the afternoon, and i was actually falling asleep at my desk." he visited his doctor, went through a month of tests, and finally realized his lifestyle needed to change. "we got to talking about how i eat, and he said, what do you have for breakfast? and, i said, why nothing. i said i'm on the radio. what do you have for lunch? well, a lot of times i don't have lunch either. he said, well, when do you eat? i said at 5 o'clock when i get home and then i eat 'till i go to bed. and, he said, you know, that's about the worst

geiger. this last year a strong el nino weather event formed.. iowa felt the effects of that.. the state had a wet and mild november and december.. then in january and february the average.. that's not very typical for the climatologist isn't another year this one could be compared to. the closest he found was another strong el nino event back in 19-82.. that had a full mild

spring, and then a hot, dry summer. looking into spring of 2016.. hillaker says it's hard to predict with confidence.. in terms of temperatures there are just historical tendencies. "very often, the spring season has been on the warmer side of usual maybe 60-65 percent of the time and the summer months, much warmer more often yet than that. maybe 70-75 percent of the time with el nino. our summer season has been on the warmer side of usual." hillaker says on the precipitation predictions.. just about anything is possible.. but it tends to be on the adequate side. well it looks the cattle are headed to high market levels again today as speculator money floods in.. meanwhile the grains doubled back on the gains they earned on monday. "got a little turnaround tuesday today in the ag sector. we are sharply lower on a slow trade though. didn't hold the broader based rally from yesterday."

"the market looks very good, very strong again here this morning. feeders leading the way higher. we're still waiting on the cash market to trade yet this week. but we're seeing a lot of short covering a lot of new spec money coming as well too. the key now will be for the cash market to stand together and trade 136-138 this week or not." "a little more of a mixed trade. not much going on. a little bit of a spillover yesterday from the cattle sector but here today a little bit of spread action buying the nearby selling the deferred. but really lackluster right now. and waiting on to see if this cash market can surge back up and support it again or not." even though the farm economy is

agriculture technology investments reached a record last year.. according to the investment site agfunder.. ag tech investments were up to four point six billion dollars last year.. about double the 2014 inputs.. but those investments were less american.. 58 percent of the deals were in u-s based companies.. against 90 percent in 2014.. the group says drones and robotic investments were up two hundred percent as more growers are looking to use crop-scouting and autonomous farm machines for data analysis and precision farming. and that wraps up our show for today... thanks for joining us on the agribusiness report.. i'll be back tomorrow. we put stories up every day.. check out who-tv dot com.. click news then
