We recall the solid spring reports: crop and land prices down, corn plantings up. And now the late summer reports: bumper corn and soybean crops based on those increased Iowa and Midwest plantings, with corn bouncing down near $3 a bushel. There is no reason to increase inventory of something that will not sell at a profit. But here we have it.
And we had it the year before. And the year before that.

Donald Trump plotted his way to the Republican presidential nomination by stealing Rep. Steve King’s playbook: Hate on Mexicans, question the civic legitimacy of Barack Obama, build a wall along the Mexican border, foster white resentment of minorities, denounce people who follow Islam. It has worked well in wide swaths of Iowa, this being the definition of a purple swing state. Trump knew how to win the base of the Republican Party. He thinks it will win the White House.
He is wrong.

Tim Kaine needs to visit Storm Lake. We listened to Hillary Clinton’s running mate deliver his introductory speech in Miami on Saturday, speaking alternately in Spanish and English. We were wowed. This guy has the gift. If you don’t like Hillary, you just might love Tim Kaine. Standing behind him, she smiled a genuine smile. You could become endeared if you listened to Kaine describe her.
That’s why Kaine needs to come to Storm Lake.

We have followed the work of David Biello, associate editor of Scientific American, who recently visited Storm Lake as part of a series on ethanol, corn production and water quality in collaboration with Detroit Public Television. He had two fascinating stories at scientificamerican.com coming out of that effort: one a story on why cellulosic ethanol is not catching fire, and an interview with Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. The former Iowa governor says agriculture can lead the way on climate change if we talk to producers on their terms.
