"Report: Corn yields in Iowa forecast up from a year ago"Professor Chad Hart was interviewed by The Messenger for the story "Report: Corn yields in Iowa forecast up from a year ago," which focuses yield predictions in the most recent US Department of Agriculture World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report. Hart told The Messenger that “The USDA has moved the corn crop a bit in terms of yield based upon the dry conditions and the little bit of heat we got in later July. If we look back at what happened in 2020 through 2022, we were down in the lower 170s and we could get there for 2023.”

"Rural Iowa continues to lose population. How some small towns are working to ‘shrink smart’"Professor David Peters was interviewed by The Gazette for the story "Rural Iowa continues to lose population. How some small towns are working to ‘shrink smart’," which focuses on how some small Iowa towns are continuing to thrive despite population loss. Peters told The Gazette that there is an immediate need to understand the impacts of COVID-19 in rural communities, especially in hard-hit meatpacking towns dominated by people of color. There also is a need to better understand how rural quality of life is maintained in the face of population loss, and how small towns can promote social integration between longtime residents and new people of color.
