Farm Bureau Clarifies Self Support and Local Funding
The Farm Bureau states it is entirely self supporting at county, state, and national levels with memberships funding operations. In Mad County the $100 membership fee remains locally, while $0.50 goes to the American Farm Bureau and $4.50 to the Town Farm Bureau to finance local activities. The group notes a working relationship with the Pension Service of the Iowa State College and that state law requires and supports extension funding.

Start Improving Pasture in Fall in Iowa Farms
Iowa extension agronomist Ralph Krenvin says most of the state’s four million acres of permanent pasture could yield nearly double with proper renovation this fall. He cites nitrogen as the top need, followed by lime and phosphate, and recommends shallow late fall plowing to kill bluegrass, improve lime placement, and speed spring soil warming. Legumes can supply nitrogen, and oats as a companion crop can convert poor pastures directly to superior legume–grass mixes.
