Doubts on Soil Bank Reserve Participation by Iowa Farmers
Iowa Farm Bureau president questions high uptake for the conservation reserve part of the soil bank mainly due to a $12 per acre rental. Howard Hill of Minburn argues current under planting payments may suffice, urging participation to ensure price gains. The bureau pushed for costs and tax coverage, but seeding costs may shrink the rental rate. A Monday holiday poll shows Iowans favor keeping holidays on the calendar. The federation promotes a December Florida trip for county Young People’s groups tied to a membership drive with $40-$80 rewards and a Florida-bound bus. Well drilling near New London yields a natural gas pocket at 50 feet, igniting a flame before water was found at 320 feet.
