Creating a composting structure

Starting a compost pile can be as simple as piling yard waste up in a free-standing pile. But to save space in smaller landscapes, hasten decomposition and keep the yard looking neat, create a composting structure. Composting structures can be made from a variety of materials and be as simple or complex as desired.

Putin’s war threatens global food security

Iowans, and Americans across the country, have been shocked and horrified by Putin’s unjust, unprovoked war on Ukraine. Innocent men, women, and children have been murdered; our global alliances and world order have been tested; and across the globe people’s lives have been changed forever. But, amidst the horrible bloodshed and destruction we’ve all seen as a result of Putin’s invasion, one issue that has not received as much attention is the war’s impact on food security across the world.

Q/A: Student Loan Debt

Q: Do you support President Biden’s plan to wipe away student debt? A: When something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Once again, the Biden administration is operating under the false assumption that money grows on trees. When the economy shut down in 2020, Congress passed a series of pandemic relief programs to help American families, rural hospitals and small businesses stay afloat. One of the financial lifelines was a pause on student loan payments and interest. Despite the economy opening back up and unfilled jobs holding back the recovery and forcing small businesses to cut back on services and hours of operation, the Biden administration unilaterally extended the deferral of payments to student borrowers repeatedly. This action pushes the cost of the student loan payment pause up to $150 billion.
