Primary low turnout marks 1962 Iowa vote in Ames
The 1962 Iowa primary drew under 300000 voters while 1500000 stayed home.

Governor Erbe defeated Nicholas by more than a two to one margin, reshaping the field ahead of the November race.

Dairying Strengthens Iowa Communities Despite Fewer Farms
Iowa dairy farming remains a stable income source with about 750,000 cows, down from a million a decade ago, yet milk and cream values approach 200 million dollars yearly. Most milk serves manufacturing like butter and cheese, while only one fifth fluid milk is consumed locally. Dairy farmers rely on out of state markets, supporting national dairy campaigns, and on farm cooling, storage, and specialized equipment to handle bulk milk. Dairying drives higher electricity use and requires significant capital, feed, and veterinary services, making dairy men valuable community members.
