The article discusses 1980 census based redistricting guidance from Secretary of State Mary Jane Odell. It notes Humboldt City Council wards expanded to three, creating unequal voting power, and County Supervisors failing to adjust five districts. It highlights population shifts, varying ward sizes, and potential two-district realignments to improve fairness.

Iowa farmers seek quicker loans as state upgrades lien system
Secretary of State Mary Jane Odell announced new procedures to speed farm loan lien searches amid greater activity with the federal Commodity Credit Corporation. A joint plan with the ASCS will route requests through the state office and county offices, with computerization of Uniform Commercial Code records due by fall 1982, reducing bottlenecks. The state also issue road condition reports in winter and notes a No-till farming surge, doubling no-till farmers and acreage from 1980 to 1981, though still a small share of total production.
