Bill seeks more funding for RC&Ds in Congress
Cautious optimism surrounds RC and D councils as Congress moves to solidify the program with higher funding. Sen. McGovern’s SB 1942 seeks a formal USDA program, a $60 million funding ceiling plus $15 million in loans, and a seven member policy board. A companion House bill by Rep. Florio mirrors the proposal as support from Rep. Baldus remains uncertain. The program faces past budget cuts but recent actions aim to extend five year commitments and assess needs by 1986 with a report to Congress.

A $500 check was given to John Matzke of Monroe by state Farm Bureau president Don Haldeman for information leading to the arrest and conviction of a thief who stole gasoline at Monticello. The program, begun in April, aims to spur citizen vigilance against arson theft and criminal damage on members' property.
