AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Right-to-Repair: John Deere agreed to a $99 million settlement in an antitrust case, promising 10 years of access to previously restricted diagnostic tools so farmers and independent shops can repair tractors and combines. Iowa Senate Primary: Iowa Democrats are split between Rep. Josh Turek and Sen. Zach Wahls on who can best flip retiring Sen. Joni Ernst’s seat, with voters weighing electability in a GOP-leaning state. GOP Governor Race: In the June 2 primary, Zach Lahn and Adam Steen are pushing turnout hard, arguing low participation could decide the nomination as they campaign across Iowa. Water Conservation: Central Iowa Water Works asks gardeners to voluntarily cut outdoor watering by 50% under a stage 2 alert, warning some plants may struggle and urging lower-water alternatives. Local Governance: Plymouth County’s Board of Supervisors has one contested race—Craig Anderson vs. Randy Kroksh—while two incumbents run unopposed. Education & Courts: Former Des Moines Public Schools leader Ian Roberts was sentenced to two years in federal prison for falsely claiming U.S. citizenship and firearm charges. Rural Health: The Senate passed a bill extending the Rural Community Hospital Demonstration for five more years, keeping Medicare payment tests alive for Iowa hospitals including Spirit Lake, Newton, Fort Dodge and Grinnell.
