Iowa DOT says the big orange trucks are ready when needed

We never know when winter weather is going to hit, and DOT engineer Tony Gustafson says they have the prep work done if the plow drivers are called on to hit the roadways. “Our maintenance staff and our fleet of 900 maintenance trucks are calibrated for winter, whenever that shows up,” he says. Gustafson told the Transportation Commission they still have a few more temporary winter positions to fill. “We’ve hired over 300 temporary C-D-L snowplow operators.

Iowa Crop Progress And Condition Report: Week Ending Nov. 8, 2026

About 30 percent of Iowa’s 2026 crop remains in the ground, according to the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Crop Progress and Condition Report. For the week ending Nov. 8, farmers had just 1.7 days suitable for fieldwork. Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig says, “A wet start to November slowed harvest progress across Iowa, but cooler and drier conditions over the weekend helped get combines rolling again. Soybean harvest is nearing completion, and farmers continue to make steady progress on the remaining corn crop. With a dry week in the forecast, farmers should have a good opportunity to make another strong push toward wrapping up harvest.” Approximately 72 percent of corn has been harvested, 17 percentage points behind the five-year average, while 93 percent of soybeans are in, two points behind normal. Topsoil moisture conditions measured two percent short, 71 percent adequate, and 27 percent surplus, with subsoil moisture at five percent short, 77 percent adequate, and 18 percent surplus. Statewide average precipitation for the week was 1.47 inches, more than triple the usual for the beginning of November. Temperatures statewide averaged 49.5 degrees Fahrenheit (F), 7.8 degrees above normal. Check the full report online at www.nass.usda.gov.

Iowa Renewable Fuels Association executive director Monte Shaw says he does not expect a shift in support for Iowa’s ethanol industry when Democrats become the majority in Iowa’s congressional delegation next year

Iowa Renewable Fuels Association executive director Monte Shaw says he does not expect a shift in support for Iowa’s ethanol industry when Democrats become the majority in Iowa’s congressional delegation next year. Iowa voters are sending five new members to serve in the U.S. House and Senate next year–four of whom are Democrats. Shaw says they all expressed support for ethanol while campaigning. Shaw says it’s too soon tell whether Governor-elect Rob Sand will be as big a booster of renewable fuels as his predecessors, but Shaw notes Sand visited Iowa ethanol plants and publicly stated his support for ethanol during the campaign.
