Small Farms May Be Part Of Success Ladder
Iowa State economists John Timmons and Gene Wunderlich say part-time farms form a ladder to success in agriculture. They describe small, low production units where income comes from off-farm sources, offering two paths: move to full-time farming or to off-farm employment while using the farm as a base for skill development and gradual transition.

Grounding Vital to All Electric Systems on Farms
Agricultural engineer Leon Charity of Iowa State College warns that poor grounding poses serious hazards on farms. All buried metal water pipes should bond the neutral. if none, drive a ground rod and bond the neutral to it. Grounding prevents dangerous fault voltages and protects against shock by enabling fuse action. A third or ground wire should connect to appliance frames, with proper plugs and cords as needed. A farmer once injured when a ground was missed, illustrating the risk.
