The weight restriction on Herber Road Bridge proved too big an inconvenience for a couple of Dubuque County's largest businesses. For less than one work day, John Deere was forced to send its loaded tractors to and from its experimental farm on a six-mile detour before returning to the Deere facility. Since the semi- tractor trailers couldn't make the tight corner into the driveway, the drivers had to travel past the entrance and back the loaded vehicles up an inclined curve.

Cleopatra is red-skinned, yellow-fleshed and great for potato salad. Rembrandt is white-skinned with a deep yellow flesh and great for baking. And Mozart, red-skinned with moist yellow flesh, could turn out to be the most delicious and hottest-selling potato of them all. Tagged with catchy names, these and 24 other experimental varieties of gourmet potatoes planted in a field in Camden could be the future of the spud industry, said Ray Meiggs, a Camden farmer who travels the nation as chairman of domestic marketing for the U.S. Potato Board. The test in the Camden farm field is the only one like it in the state and one of only a few nationally, said Meiggs, an enthusiastic potato pitchman.

STOCKTON, Calif. - The plump, oval tomato Rich Ozminkowski held in his hand here at H.J. Heinz's experimental farm resembled the common Roma variety, yet it was anything but. The tomato - whose very name is proprietary information - is 5 percent to 10 percent sweeter than the variety now used in Heinz ketchup, and it is a weapon in the company's war on spiraling costs. With prices for corn syrup and other ketchup ingredients going up faster than Heinz can raise its own prices, the Pittsburgh-based condiment king is overhauling its breeding operations to help compensate. Heinz is developing sweeter tomatoes that could cut down on its need for corn syrup, as well as varieties that resist disease, stay fresh longer and produce a thicker consistency.
