July Jasperettes 4-H Club Holds Meeting and Events
The regular July Jasperettes 4-H Club meeting at Linda Tibbeel's home approved a summer quilting theme "Favorite Summer Clothes," with seven members and six visitors attending. Plans include a day workshop on June 9 and an achievement show on July 1, plus the club's Presentation Day and Mothers’ Tea, while profits from the dairyman's products support community economy. Dairying in Iowa accounts for about 330 million in annual gross income, with fluid milk contributing over 70 million from 1.2 billion pounds, 3.3 billion pounds of manufacturing milk yielding 160 million, and dairy beef plus breeding stock adding further income. most farmers follow soil erosion controls and use forage crops, with grazing and crop rotation aiding the environment. Over 150 Iowa dairy plants process and market fluid milk, cheese, ice cream, butter, and nonfat dry milk, while milk shipments drive trucking and fuel taxes that fund Iowa roads. dairy products are exported nationwide, bringing in out-of-state money and supporting local spending on vehicles, fuel, feed, equipment, and utilities.
