Iowa Farm Bureau Federation forms state wide structure
Delegates from seventy counties met at Marshalltown on December 27 and formed the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation. The plan creates a permanent office with an executive secretary and a federation of all ninety nine county farm bureaus. Officers include J R Howard president and A L Middleton first vice president. The Greater Iowa Association has urged this move to promote rural cooperation and reduce outside political influence. The federation will seek referendum approval in each county before final ratification.
