Colorado: Lack of global warming drives bears closer to town
Bears in the Yampa Valley tend to base their diets on the abundant serviceberries and chokecherries; they also eat a variety of other wild berries and acorns.

No Frost Yet, But Cool Weather Raises Concern About Crop Development - Iowa
The 2009 Iowa corn and bean crops have been slowed down to the point they now have a greater risk of frost vulnerability than they would have had if the state would have received warmer temperatures the last 10 days or so in August. "Looking at heat unit or degree day accumulation across the state for the 2009 growing season," says Elmore, "we're running up to 12 days or so behind normal in some areas, based on a May 1 planting date. Parts of Iowa - northeast and north central in particular - are more than two weeks behind schedule. The best area of the state is southwest Iowa, where crops are only nine days behind normal."
