Vermeer urges 2 percent sales tax to balance Iowa budget
Elmer H Vermeer argues during the final weeks of the Iowa legislature that a 2 percent sales tax, alongside existing income and corporate taxes, could balance the state budget near 150 million dollars. He notes a potential 18 million dollar annual deficit without new revenue and proposes using unencumbered funds, aid to schools, and preserving a working balance. He opposes shifting funds from road use and liquor revenues to property taxes and urges legislators to support revenue to cover appropriations.

Contouring Proves Value on Nearly 2 Million Iowa Acres
Research on almost two million contoured Iowa acres confirms contouring reduces runoff and soil loss on sloped fields. It works best for slopes under six percent or 200 feet long, and with four percent slopes up to 800 feet. Furrow openers on planters aid rainfall capture on deep permeable soils.
