The Iowa Farm Bureau Federation plans to urge the legislature to approve a large appropriation to implement the agricultural land credit act. The act caps school levies at 15 mills with the state treasury funding the difference, estimated at six million dollars more than the 100 percent rate. An annual appropriation near three million dollars is projected. The drive also aims to raise school aid and efficiency through a reorganizaton program tied to standards. A bill to establish additional secondary road ends would fund county heaviest-traveled road improvements, with a new farm-to-market fund to surface miles. Farmers received 53 cents of each food dollar this summer, down from 55 cents last winter.
