Freedom to Serve
As the U.S. military reviews its controversial "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy on gays serving openly, KPR Presents "Freedom to Serve." We'll look at the role of blacks and women in the military, and how those lessons can be applied to gays. "Freedom to Serve" was moderated by NPR Senior News Analyst Juan Williams, and held at the Truman Presidential Library and Museum in Independence, MO.

Company Ordered to Stop Shipments of Tainted Herbicide   Date: July 30, 2010
   A Missouri company has been ordered to stop selling or distributing the herbicide Warthog 2 EC after a batch was tainted with a different herbicide. The Environmental Protection Agency issued the order today (FRI) to HPI Products, based in St. Joseph, after its herbicide damaged 8,000 acres of soybeans near Beattie, Kansas. The EPA issued similar orders to the herbicide's registrant, J. Oliver Products of Hernando, Mississippi, and Poney Express Warehouse in St. Joseph. The Kansas Department of Agriculture began investigating earlier this month after several farmers near Beattie complained about damage to their soybean crops. Investigators say samples of Warthog 2 EC were tainted with Dicamba, which can be harmful to soybeans.
