Last update: 10 hours ago

Iowa Business & Economy: Iowa Corn announced 2026 board election results for the Iowa Corn Growers Association and Iowa Corn Promotion Board, with directors set to begin serving Sept. 1, keeping checkoff-funded research and market work on track. Energy & Environment: Cedar Rapids Mayor Tiffany O’Donnell defended billion-dollar data center deals and their tax structure amid resident concerns, while Cerro Gordo County sued the Iowa Utilities Commission over a massive solar farm approval and Page County pressed its case against MidAmerican’s Nodaway Valley Solar project. Public Safety & Policy: Des Moines International Airport is among the first Iowa-area airports to opt into TSA Gold+, a shift toward private security screening that the TSA union says could mean job losses and security risks. Agriculture & Food Costs: New tariffs on Canadian goods could lift grocery and household prices, and Iowa ranchers are weighing herd rebuilding as cattle supplies stay tight. Courts & Fraud: A federal grand jury indicted two Southeast Iowa men tied to a multi-million-dollar Ponzi scheme, with trial set for April 26, 2027. Local Business: Cedar Ridge Distillery is moving into downtown Des Moines with a new tasting room and hospitality concept, backed by a city forgivable loan and private investment.
