This evening, complaints can be heard about the noise from F-16 jets flying over Madison. This is open to all and is at the Dane County Airport in the Skuldt Conference Room, at 5:30. Complaints can also be heard by calling the airport’s Noise Abatement Line at 246-5841 to report aircraft noise disturbances.

This evening, Green Films & Lectures series presents King Corn and Big River! With the help of friendly neighbors, biotech seeds, nitrogen fertilizers, and powerful herbicides, Cheney and Ellis plant and grow a bumper crop of America's most productive, most subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil. But when they tried to follow their harvest into the food system, what they found raised troubling questions. In the second film, they return to Iowa with a new mission: to investigate the environmental impact their acre of corn has had on the people and places downstream. This in Mount Horeb's United Methodist Church, 9542 County Road S, at 6:30.
