"some of them are going to decide not to handle ammonia anymore, which for communities that have relied on ammonia and farmers that would prefer ammonia, that's not a good outcome. we've talked to even some of our larger members, who might be able to attach some resources for compliance that the smaller ones cant. even some of the larger ones are going to close ammonia locations because of this rule." coppock says osha has not responded to their letters and other comment requests. decembe

after the break david geiger talks to the state climatoligist about that.. on the agribusiness good mor if you think storm damage is the only cost of climate change, think again. from the rising price of food to higher insurance rates for homes and businesses, the economic damage will only get worse. but with american-made clean energy, we can save money on electricity and spur innovation to create new businesses and jobs. it all starts with 50% clean energy by 2030. last week was warm.. dry.. and windy.. and farmers got a quarter of the states corn crop out of the ground in the six point nine days suitable for fieldwork.. which the iowa crop report says is the most this season.. that report now only looks at two measures of progress.. how much corn and beans are harvested.. half the corn crop is now harvested.. 52 percent.. two weeks ahead of last year.. moisture content for all corn is at 17 percent.. though i've heard reports of farmers having too low moisture content.. near 13 percent. the soybean harvest is 83 percent done.. ten days ahead of last year.

geiger. according to the iowa crop report.. great weather conditions led to the majority of soybeans harvested.. only 17 percent is fields.. but.. there are had a really rough season when it came to rain.. so i headed down there yesterday evening.. to see how the season looked... and how well beans were coming out. "we've been off to a real good start here, here in the soybean harvest, see we're running 60, just under 60 bushel right now. we had some beans that we planted in april, we've taken all them out. we're now into soybeans that were planted into early june. it's amazing for what they're yielding, for being planted in early june. but i guess when you have 32 inches of rainfall in a year it helps grow a crop. in greenfield, iowa. we're about 50 percent done with soybean harvest. i think that's about where south central iowa is today on the report. some of the elevators are having some logistic problems. they just told me that the one they've been hauling to they're going to fill a temporary storage up with soybeans tomorr
