Doubt Raised Over FBYP Drive Legality in Iowa Schools

Iowa Farm Bureau officials plan an April 14 drive to add 1000 members through FBYP with high school seniors solicited by letters and school visits. County attorney Willett will refer a question to the attorney general about legality of soliciting pupils on school grounds for an organization outside the school. The issue centers on a state law restricting roffing on school property to recruit for non school groups. Local Farm Bureau leaders and Tama county director Hess emphasize the question is his personal stance, while others note the drive may occur largely outside school hours. The program, tied to Farm Bureau events, includes a grooming contest at Rally Day and club representation by members from Mari-Linn Four-H.
