Grassley Reports Iowa labor bill on the floor collapse
Grassley notes the AFL-CIO backed measure failed on the House floor, with over 49 Democrats opposing their own platform. The bill would have required prevailing wages on Iowa public works funded with state money, while Senate and House labor measures seek to modify right to work. Grassley warns of forced unionism and fragile freedom of association as Democrats debate party discipline versus personal conviction.

Feed Grain Lien up Deadline is Friday
Friday March 26 is the last day for growers to file applications for the 1965 feed grain program. Butler county ASC chairman Herman Stubbe said participation provides price support for 1965 corn, barley, and grain sorghum and earns a diversion payment for shifting part of the feed grain base to conserving use. Minimum diversion is 20 percent, maximum 30 percent or 25 acres. County interest is high and likely to match 1964 participation.
