Iowa Farm Bureau Federation clarifies stance on Greater Iowa Association
J R Howard president of the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation explains that the Greater Iowa Association misled the public about the Marshalltown meeting and denies any influence on the federation's formation.

The letter discusses county cooperation and the role of a Sheep Growers County Association to coordinate wool collection.
