Indiana State Police say an autopsy Wednesday determined the preliminary cause of death but not the identity of the body. They say DNA and dental records will be used to try to make the identification.

Farm Bailout / trade war

TIPTON COUNTY, Ind. — Hoosier farmers who are caught in the middle of President Donald Trump’s trade war are in line to get some financial help, especially those who produce soybeans.

The price of soybeans has dropped significantly since the trade war began and right now it is unclear how long those price drops will continue.

The Trump administration announced a $12 billion package this week that’s meant to help American farmers who are impacted by the trade war against China and other countries.

Tipton County Farmer Bill Peters says his family has been raising soybeans for six generations and its a tradition he wants to continue, which means he’ll have to accept help from the bailout.

“Farmers in general and I would say everyone would agree, we don’t like taking aid to try to get us by,” said Peters. “Our solution would be to get this trade war solved.”

Farmers can sign up for the government bailout program starting this September.

 

 

Indianapolis – Fears of a trade war over tariffs are growing.
In fact, one of Indiana’s largest manufactures, Cummins, has a close eye on trade talks between President Donald Trump and the rest of the world.

Jon Mills, Director of External Communications with Cummins, said  “We are concerned.  We will feel the tariff impacts from steel and aluminum. We’ll also feel it on the castings, cylinder heads, and cam shafts we import.”

Basically, the company will deal with tariffs on their imports and exports.

Mills explained “In some cases, we import a small number of off-highway engines to the United States. Those would also be impacted by the tariffs. Any time we’re looking at harming or upsetting our trading partners by placing tariffs and incurring retaliatory tariffs, there’s going to be an impact.”

 Mills said “Tariffs and escalating tariff war really does harm to American workers, American businesses and American farmers. We just think it’s the wrong approach.”

Mills said if you’re one of the roughly 10,000 people in Indiana who work for Cummins, you do not have to worry about losing your job.
