County plans continue 1935 farming program into 1937
County agricultural planning work begun in 1935 will continue in essentially the same form in 1937. Murl McDonald of Iowa State College says the project, run with the Extension Service and the U S Department of Agriculture, aims to adapt the AAA program to local conditions and develop long term land use policy. County committees of 20 to 30 members, aided by a state committee, will work with local groups to reflect community attitudes and follow up with meetings, reports, and constructive long term planning.
