Farm Bureau push on renter incomes across counties
The Farm Bureau promotes a campaign to determine incomes from farms held by renters in multiple counties. Tax rules now tax farm land by income rather than value, in line with the law. The piece also recalls Col. George Bain a Prohibition-era figure from Iowa and notes warnings about a stock selling scheme targeting towns for factory sites converting corn stalks into building materials. A Grinnell fakir’s visit prompts remote checks on his alleged shoe factory venture and a quick retreat after banking on public sentiment.
