FORMER IA NATIONAL GUARD LEADER DIES
A native Iowan who was a former leader of the Iowa National Guard and Hawkeye
football M-V-P has died.
Retired Major General Warren “Bud” Lawson of Ankeny died Wednesday from
complications of Alzheimer’s Disease at the age of 83.
Iowa National Guard spokesman, Colonel Greg Hapgood, says Lawson’s tenure included
two of the biggest disasters the state has seen.
Hapgood says Lawson also played football at the University of Iowa and was named
the team’s Most Valuable Player in 1954.
Lawson retired from active service in 1979 and was appointed next day as the deputy
adjutant general of the Iowa National Guard.
Lawson’s time as leader from the mid 80’s through the 90’s saw several other
challenges for Iowa’s citizen soldiers, including help with the farm crisis to
combat for Desert Shield and Desert Storm in the early 1990’s where Lawson readied
an entire infantry division.
Lawson retired as the Adjutant General of the Iowa National Guard on June 19, 1999,
after 14 years of service to the state and more than 44 years of combined military
service.
Soybean Growers In Iowa Warned Of Potential Diseases
Iowa soybean growers are on the lookout for a number of diseases just as most
plants are setting pods. Sudden death syndrome in soybeans is being reported in
many parts of Iowa. Todd Claussen, director of agronomy for Ames-based Landus
Cooperative, says infected beans will shut down early.
Soybean aphids are also starting to show up in greater numbers, according to
Claussen.
White mold could also be a problem for soybean growers this year, according to
Claussen. The latest U-S-D-A report rated 82 percent of Iowa’s soybeans in good to
excellent condition. Monday’s report found 94 percent of the state’s soybeans were
blooming, which is six days ahead of last year. Seventy-nine percent of soybeans
were setting pods, about one week ahead of normal.
