Iowa Business Looks Better

Iowa reports slower gains in employment and farm income as weather and a weak spring hinder spring merchandise sales. Coal prices hold at winter levels, corn around 1 on the market, oats near 60 cents, with farm stocks below average and western Iowa holding more grain than the east. Projections warn that late May planting risks a poorer crop unless conditions improve, while farm price levels rise and the farm-commodity gap narrows. The March housing data shows gains in new residences and remodeling, and a $20 million road program aligns with annual license and gas tax revenue. Local church notices urge attendance, with sermons on Workers Together With Him and The Church Age, plus youth programs and Boy Scout camp schedules.
