Iowa farms seek permanent names under new law

Des Moines area notes report that many Farms may register distinct names for parcels starting July 4 with a $1 filing fee, ensuring the name stays with the property. The move aims to fix land identity beyond ownership changes, a practice common in older countries. The piece also covers state finance items including a $31,586 fund for the Allison monument, clothing contracts for state institutions, and various corporate filings. It notes General Dodge’s efforts to grow the fund to $50,000 and mentions wage-related actions in Waterloo and the Nau man mill dispute. The Moon law dates conflict with April 26 implementation in some accounts.
