Shucks Let s Talk It Over Wage Debate in Iowa Farms
A letter from Linn county agricultural conservation committee members contends against raising wages for east Iowa committee workers. Wager Booth and Mitchell oppose the boost, arguing current pay of 4.50 dollars daily plus 3 cents per mile suffices and higher wages would spur interior competition over communal goals. They note farmers have other income sources and stress the value of public service beyond tangible pay while praising the committees for prior cooperation and cautioning that gains may be lost if self interest overrides common good. The piece ends reflecting that the question of adequate pay remains unsettled and that agricultural program success depends on future outcomes.
