The results have been gratifying for all involved.

This Day in Iowa Weather History In 1911, unseasonably cold air brought rain mixed with snow across northwestern Iowa. Most snow melted on contact, but some locations reported accumulations: 1 inch at Denison, 1.5 inches at Alta and Lamars, 2 inches at Algona, Mason City, New Hampton, Onawa, and Rockwell City, 2.5 inches at Rock Rapids, and 4 inches at Elma in Howard County. 7-Day Weather Forecast Showers and thunderstorms are possible today, but the weekend will bring pleasant, San Diego-like weather: sunny skies and highs in the 70s. A quieter weather pattern is expected to settle in. Climate Outlook 8–14 Days (May 8–14): Strong likelihood of above-normal temperatures. The eastern half of Iowa leans slightly below normal for precipitation, while the western half is near normal-overall, a little dry and definitely warm. 3–4 Weeks (May 10–23): The outlook leans warm with equal chances for precipitation. Precipitation remains difficult to forecast due to the spring transition. May Monthly Outlook: Most of Iowa is likely to be warmer than normal. Precipitation is split: the northeast leans slightly drier, while the southwest has equal chances for above, below, or normal precipitation. Recent Weather Impacts On Monday, Iowa experienced very windy conditions (gusts up to 70 mph in Ames) but no tornadoes. The severe weather event was well forecasted in terms of risk areas, but many Iowans did not experience significant storms, leading to a perception of overhype. The lack of severe storms in Iowa was attributed to a strong atmospheric cap, cloud cover, dust, and wind alignment that prevented updrafts, despite all other ingredients for severe weather being present. Specialty Crop Impacts Winter Rye: Beginning to flower across Iowa. Growers can terminate rye reliably by mowing and tilling at anthesis (pollen shed). One grower plans to mow and bale rye for weed-free straw mulch. Overwintered Flowers: Iceland poppies are starting to open; dianthus are looking good. More flower updates are expected next week, ahead of Mother's Day. Greenhouse Tomatoes: Ripe tomatoes are being harvested in greenhouses in Grinnell and likely at some auction houses. Garlic & Aster Yellows: Growers are on watch for aster yellows phytoplasma, which devastated garlic crops last year, especially in northeast Iowa and neighboring states. Recent lab tests found rotted garlic cloves infected with pythium and rhizoctonia, not aster yellows. The likely cause was winterkill due to low snow cover, not disease. Spring-planted garlic had much higher survival. Management Advice: Rogue out yellow, weak garlic plants now to prevent potential spread of aster yellows by leafhoppers. Mulch and snow cover help protect overwintered garlic. Soil Testing: New online and spreadsheet tools are available for interpreting soil test results and generating fertilizer recommendations. MASC Payments: A new round of Market Assistance for Specialty Crops (MASC) payments has been announced. Growers should check with their FSA office for eligibility.

On this episode of the Astonishing Healthcare podcast, we discuss how modern technology - Judi® - brings efficiency to the labor union market with Capital Rx's Mike Miele, FSA, MAAA (Senior Vice President of Insured Services), Christie Peperato (Manager, Payment & Operations), and Kelly Smith (Product Manager). Who knew that Capital Rx has an hours banking system? Why did we build one? Well, every hour a union worker works may be tracked and "banked" for benefits eligibility purposes. So, those hours and the accuracy of the reporting matter... a lot. And as Christie describes, it's been a manual, "painful" process forever. After Mike explains the unique needs of union clients and what hours banking is all about, Christie and Kelly dive into how this newly developed system alleviates the pain by automating the tracking of work hours and eligibility for health benefits and having everything, including payments, processed in one system. By removing the manual burden on union office managers and making it easy for contractors to submit the data, managers and plan administrators can focus on what matters most: taking care of members' needs.

Allen Hall: For the first time ever, I think all four of us on the podcast are in The same location at the same time. Rosemary Barnes: If you include our amazing producer. So Allen Hall: this is a unique time and we just finished wind energy, O& M Australia. which was completely packed, insanely full, and it was a day and a half of informative discussions, no sales talks per Rosemary's strict instructions. Good call. To get the information out to the industry and let everybody know what's happening around the world? Is it, Australia is a really unique place, Rosemary. There's a lot going on here. Rosemary Barnes: Yeah, I think so. And the wind market is definitely unique. We've got a few unique problems. We also, a little bit different to other markets I've worked in, like in in Europe and in North America, where there are a lot of engineers around who've worked on the design and manufacturing side. We don't have those industries in Australia. And there aren't as many people filtering through with that deep technical knowledge. So it's taken us a bit longer to get to the point where one, people realize that they need to have that information. It's not enough to just have, a service agreement and trust that they know what they're doing and that they're acting in your best interest at every moment. And two, for people to begin to, yeah, get that expertise. There was no shortage of, Expertise on the panels. And yeah, my favorite thing about the conference was hearing just conversations going on, just, overhearing people just geeking out over some, really niche topic that they hadn't thought of that they'd heard, someone mentioned on stage, a couple of people connected who didn't know each other, and now they know that they're got the same problem or one of them's got a solution and one of them's got a problem. It's yeah, just exactly what I wanted from the conference. Joel Saxum: I think one of the things I took is this joke was told a few times, literally and figuratively on an island here in Australia when it comes to wind energy knowledge, right? So we tried to, when we put this conference together, we tried bringing some expertise from around the world. Simply because, it's hard to travel down here, right? That's just a simple fact. It's geographically remote. So bringing that expertise in here and And after we went through a bunch of things on stage, a lot of people talking on the sides like, I didn't know this solution existed. Like the Soren Kellenberger stuff from CNC Onsite. I didn't know you could precision machine things up tower. That was just like, to a lot of people that, that exists, right? Lightning protection upgrades do exist. There's people that can do it. There's things you can sense. Shadow monitoring of your fleet. Even when you have an an FSA with an OEM. Oh, this is a great concept. These are things that like in the States. In Europe,

Send us a textThis week on 2 Fat Guys Talking Flowers, we are thrilled to welcome the legendary Mr. Harrison “Red” Kennicott III, AAF, a true pioneer in the floral industry. Red's connection to flowers runs deep, having grown up working at his family's wholesale business, Kennicott Bros. Co., since the age of 12. He graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in Floriculture, and over the years, he has served as president of several major industry organizations, including SAF, the Allied Florists of Illinois, and WF&FSA. In this episode, Red reflects on his lifelong journey in the floral world, sharing insights on the value of having a trusted wholesaler, the history and evolution of Kennicott Bros., and even takes us behind the scenes of the NEW Jet Fresh building. Red talks about his love for working the wholesale floor and sees opportunities to improve their historic floral company. With his team, they work together to establish best practices for quality and integrity. A standout moment in Kennicott Bros.' history came in 2000, when Red & Katie Kennicott led the company's transition to a 100% employee-owned business, fostering a sense of pride and stability among the staff. As Red puts it, “Now, when customers call, they are speaking with the owners.” With awards like the WF&FSA's Leland T. Kintzele Distinguished Service Award, SAF's Paul Ecke Hall of Fame, and the AIFD Award of Merit under his belt, Red's contributions to the floral industry are nothing short of extraordinary. Join Mike, Mimi, and Fern as they enjoy a great conversation full of stories, wisdom, and a deep love for the floral industry.

It's another Q&A show, and this week we cover managing finances under an LPA, Maternity pay, and what to do with a big windfall, plus lots more besides! Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA4  00:58  Big fan of the show. Really appreciate your work. Dad is 92 with rapidly declining health (Dementia and mobility issues). He is still living at home with Mum (80) who is caring for him with family help. At the moment, it is about manageable. I am managing their finances. We have moved the majority of savings into my mum's accounts. I have used up mum's entire ISA allowance for this year. There is still around £38k of savings sitting in a no interest paying Barclays account. Due to their ages, I do not want to tie up the cash for too long, though at this point in time, they do not need to use this money as they are still able to live off my Dad's pension. Can you suggest how I might manage this chunk of cash? Possibly a simple savings account, but I am aware that the interest rates are not exactly brilliant, and I wonder about moving into a GIA instead (I have moderate experience buying/selling shares in my own SIPP and ISA, though I am personally high on the risk curve with investments heavily in MSTR and TSLA). Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers, Rich 05:08  Love the podcast (obviously!), it's genuinely very helpful and has really helped me get my stuff together!!! Not sure if this is something you'd know about but, do you think you would be able to explain to me in your very listenable way, how to work out maternity pay, as in how it's actually calculated and how to plan to make up the difference etc plus anything else that might be helpful that I don't even know that I don't know!! I can't really find what I'm looking for anywhere else so just thought I'd ask as I find your explanations of things easy to understand (and could listen to you chat about anything tbh)!! Thank you! Jess 12:16  Thanks so much for your brilliant podcasts. I love the idea of the question and answer ones! I have a fun question I have been meaning to ask for ages. I keep my contingency fund in premium bonds, and I periodically enjoy a thought experiment, around what I would do if I were to win the big prize of £1 million. (I fully realise this will never happen, but it is a helpful thought experiment to get me thinking about where my priorities lie in case I do receive a much smaller lump sum in the future). I have no bad debts, I have a contingency pot and I contribute to a pension and ISA. My hypothesis is that I would give some to charity (maybe 10%?), might retain 5% for fun – a nice holiday or an upgrade to my car, would max out my ISA and pension,  and then would split the rest between a world index tracker and one or two investment properties. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this and how you would allocate. Thanks! Justyn 17:52  The mantra is that the most important time to take advice is when nearing retirement. That's certainly true for us now, and my other half sought some regulated advice recently in respect to tax free cash and pension recycling rules. The advice was provided (that it was not tax free cash recycling) & so we are continuing with the plan as discussed  / agreed with the regulated IFA that we contracted the discussion with (we checked the company and the individuals credentials out on the FSA website .. All good). The question is (call me paranoid, but quite a lot of money – for us, is involved) what happens if in due course HMRC come to us and effectively look to impose penalties for us acting in accordance with the regulated advice provided / paid for (ie, they dont agree with it / decide it has broken the recycling rules)? I have no (sane) reason to suggest this will happen, but paranoia is a terrible thing!! Keep up the good work (oh, and Roger as well) Regards, Kevin Milsom 23:02  With UK inflation now only 1.7% (from 16 Oct 24), are we in a very unusual phase were inflation is less than half of the rate you can easily get on savings? This leads onto thinking about investing versus savings – we all invest to try and beat inflation, but we can currently do this easily with no risks via savings accounts. It is a conversation my wife and I are having at the moment! She is  ‘saver' and I am an ‘investor'. Of course we have a good mix of both from all the guidance you have provided. Cheers. Dave Hicklin 27:40  Hello gents! Big fan of the podcast and the YouTube channel. Thanks for everything you do! Question for you – which I realise is pretty niche so you may not want to cover it. I am in the fortunate position of reaching max pension taper threshold (due to a great salary, some even greater RSU awards and an increasing company share-price!). I have some pension contribution carry-forward but will have used this all up by FY26. My employer do a 7% pension contribution if employee contributes 4%. But for those reaching taper threshold, you can opt out and the company will instead just give the 7% on top of your salary (which is very generous!). Thinking ahead, my question is: – Would it be better to: a) take the combined 11% contribution and opt for a scheme-pays for the tax above the £10k allowance when time comes. I am thinking this way I still get a years worth of investment of the pre-tax money before the tax is paid – which might be beneficial? or b) opt out and take the post-tax increase in salary and put this somewhere else? My wife's and mine ISAs will be maxed already, so would have to be GIA most likely (or premium bonds!?). I'm thinking A makes most sense. I still get the £10k tax free and benefit from some further untaxed money working for me for a little while at least. The tax has to be paid either way, but I am delaying it till later. What do you both think? Thanks very much! Paul
