Five Hundred More Farm Workers Needed in Iowa Next Week
Iowa farm labor demand rises as five hundred workers are needed next week per Harold Hoyt, U S employment service placement director. He says demand may be met though some housing and local labor reserves must be mobilized. Extension Director Bliss outlines a town plan to boost local labor and coordinate agencies to prevent duplications. Iowa farms face ongoing shortages with many workers in the armed forces and industry, and expect further losses this year.
