• After a long wait, pool project enters final stages (communitynewspapergroup.com) — Waverly’s long-awaited new municipal pool is in its final construction stages, with concrete work on the deck, splash pad, and expanded parking lot now the main focus. City staff say the splash pad is already poured and shade structures are going up, but construction delays mean the pool won’t open until the 2027 swim season, with admission fees still to be set. 
• Boozman calls for markup this week as comments continue (thefencepost.com) — A Waverly farmer who leads the Iowa Corn Growers Association is backing the Senate’s Farm Bill 2.0, praising its year-round E15 provision and other corn priorities. The bill faces sharp debate in Washington, with supporters citing help for farmers and SNAP timing, while environmental and anti-hunger groups warn it favors big agribusiness and weakens protections.
• Iowa Corn Growers Respond to Senate Farm Bill, Welcome E15/ICGA Priorities (morningagclips.com) — A Waverly farmer leading the Iowa Corn Growers Association is welcoming the U.S. Senate’s new Farm Bill draft, especially its nationwide, year-round access to E15 fuel. He says the bill would boost corn demand, support trade promotion, and extend key research programs, while thanking Iowa’s senators for championing these priorities important to growers across the state.
