Iowa Law May Let Counties Sell Limestone At Cost
A proposed Iowa act would let county boards of supervisors manufacture sell and distribute agricultural lime at cost to farmers with tax lien style repayment. Wisconsin enacted a similar program in 1933 using WPA labor and county funds, with lime supplied by counties and labor by WPA, aiming to aid 150000 farmers and create about 5000 jobs.
