Each camp houses 200 to 250 youths and brings 200 000 to 250 000 dollars yearly in federal money. He also noted a 957 000 dollar federal relief allocation for Iowa in March, down from requests, and called for further farmer debt relief. He warned mortgage and contract moratoriums do not stop lawsuits on personal notes. Closed banks have paid out 2 000 000 dollars in two months.
