| Sulfur dioxide emission standards for coal-fired stationary boilers generally range from 1.2 pounds per million Btu of heat input for large boilers constructed after August 17, 1971 to 5 to 6 pounds of SO2 emissions for other large boilers constructed on or before August 17, 1971 and for boilers located in nonrural areas. These standards generally prohibit the use of coal with sulfur contents > 0.6 percent for new large boilers and > 2.5 to 3.0 percent in other boilers. Low-sulfur western coal shipped in unit-trains and mechanically blended with higher-sulfur coals located close to the boilers provides a method of increasing the production of the high-sulfur Iowa coal as well as the consumption of low-sulfur western coal and, at the same time, of... |

| Genetically modified organisms (GMO) crops have become increasingly popular with Iowa farmers over the past few years. The current genetic modifications are focused on pest management technologies. Although there were early efforts by environmental activists to disrupt the adoption of GMO technology, few concerns were raised by U.S. food retailers and consumers. The primary concern was getting European Union (EU) regulatory approval for each GMO crop variety event as late as spring 1999. The situation has changed dramatically in the last few months, and the current situation is highly uncertain. This paper provides the economic perspective on the issues surrounding non-GMO/GMO market segregation, the potential price impacts that may materialize with... |
