Three Checkoff Bills Introduced In Iowa Legislature
Iowa discusses check-off proposals for farm commodities with emphasis on soybeans. House and Senate committees back companion bills for up to a half cent per bushel, likely trimmed to a quarter cent on floor. If approved by referendum and farmers opt out, funds target about 900000 dollars. Senator Joseph Coleman champions soybean advocacy as Iowa accounts for about 20 percent of national production.

Iowa lawmakers debate agricultural check-off proposals
Sen. Harrison Weber Coleman argues for promoting soybeans and a check-off as an effective sales tool. Two agriculture committees study a corn check-off worth up to one fifth of a cent, potentially $700,000, while Rep. Jewell O. Waugh and Rep. George Pierson seek to reduce to one tenth of a cent. The third subcommittee member is Rep. Berle Priebe. Eggs and corn check-offs face lukewarm rural support as Rep. Clyde Rex and Sen. Coleman push bills.

Iowa State University seed testing unit led by LeRoy Everson reports that a Southern leaf blight test shows some T cytoplasm hybrid seed corn strains tolerate the blight. The test, developed last fall by Art Hooker, evaluates 48 hour old seedling emergence after exposure to blight toxin and is not yet in high demand. Some N cytoplasm corn remains variably resistant, and field tests are still needed.
