Farm to Market Road Bill Heads to Friday Action
Iowa lawmakers take up a farm to market road bill in a special order with an $8 million annual fund at stake. The plan shifts funds from local distribution to state wide area based allocation to equalize development and allow counties with lagging secondary roads to catch up. The measure would expand designated farm to market roads from 10 000 to 35 000 miles and require counties to cover one quarter to one third of project costs.

Quaife Urges Farmers to Hold Sows for Spring Farrow
Iowa State College swine expert E. L. Quaife advised farmers not to sell bred sows while hog prices are high. He noted reports of sows going to market too early could shrink the spring pig crop, urging farmers to keep sows to farrow and fatten for a summer market, with corn ample to feed a large crop.
