Beef cattle are likely to be transported at least once during their lives and are often moved several times at different stages of production. During each transition, they may travel for hours, standing in moving vibrating trailers. Upon arrival, their new situations and pen mates are unfamiliar. Not surprisingly, during the hours and days post-transit, fatigued and stressed animals tend to eat and drink less and are more susceptible to disease.

Corn cobs may perform better than woodchips to reduce nitrates in water quality bioreactors -- and for a lesser cost -- state Iowa State University researchers. The challenge is getting an adequate supply of corn cobs. A bioreactor is an edge-of-field water-treatment technology used to treat nitrate-nitrogen in tile drainage coming from crop fields. Basically a bioreactor is a below-ground trough, where tile water interacts with a high-carbon material like woodchips in a low-oxygen environment.

First Contact Day on April 5th commemorates a fictional date in the future when an alien species visits Earth and makes contact with Earthlings for the first time. While the fictional date of 2063 is less than half a generation away, mere humans contemplate the possibilities the further we explore space. Not only do the modern explorers keep our interests piqued, but the science fiction genre continues to pour out stories that thrill and excite us.

In Iowa more than 24 million acres are devoted to crops. That represents about 68 percent of the state’s land area -- and more than 94 percent of that land is used to produce corn and soybeans, according to the 2021 National Agriculture Statistics Survey. “Iowa’s agriculture is highly specialized, with almost all of its cropland planted to corn and soybeans,” said J.G. Arbuckle, professor of sociology at Iowa State University, and director of the annual Iowa Farm and Rural Life Poll.
