Johnston considers $58M development agreement with Vylor
The City of Johnston is preparing to invest up to $58 million in growing the roots of a new seed corporation that has put its global headquarters in the city. Corteva Agriscience on Oct. 1 completed the separation of its seed business into Vylor Inc., which has its headquarters in Johnston at what was Corteva's seed research and development campus. The corporate seed research presence dates back to the 1926 founding in Johnston of the Hi-Bred Corn Company, which became Pioneer, and which then through decades of corporate mergers and splits became part of Corteva. Vylor employs 3,000 people across Iowa, including in Johnston. Johnston City Council will vote on Nov. 16 on a development agreement with Vylor that would include up to $58 million in grants to support office renovations, new or expanded buildings, and a commercial building's expansion at multiple sites. Vylor plans to spend at least $4 million to renovate the office buildings at its Johnston headquarters campus by March 31, 2028, and employ no fewer than 1,884 full-time-equivalent jobs, according to the proposed development agreement. In exchange, Johnston city officials are prepared to offer the company a one-time $3.75 million grant as an incentive. The city

Iowa State basketball vs. Southern prediction, game preview
SWAC school Southern continues its road trip through the Midwest on Nov. 10 in Ames. After taking a loss to nearby Drake in its most recent outing, the Jaguars are headed north for a stop at Hilton Coliseum. Iowa State is hosting Southern on Tuesday at 7 p.m. CT. The Cyclones (1-1) will look to add one more loss to Southern's 0-3 start to the season. Here are three things to watch for: Iowa State continuing to build defensive cohesion Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger will likely shuffle his starting lineup and overall rotation once again. The Cyclones' head coach has clearly outlined which factors will be rewarded with more playing time. And in a defense-first program, it's unsurprising to hear that there will be a greater premium placed on defensive intensity, hustle on that end of the court and on the glass, and being able to make a positive impact when given opportunities on the court. Iowa State took steps in the right direction in its home opener against Southern Miss, but it will continue to make progress when it comes to defensive cohesion and disruptiveness. Southern has a turnover rate of 27%, which is close to the bottom
