Iowa Seeks Milk Price Rise to Stem Production Decline
Des Moines reports indicate rising dairy costs may curb a yearlong drop in Iowa milk output. Secretary of Agriculture Kenneth Owen, after meetings with Midwest counterparts, argues higher milk prices are needed to attract and retain dairy farmers amid labor shortages and aging producers. He notes about 9,000 dairy farmers leave Iowa each year and explains herd reductions drive the decline.

Ken Cuhel Takes On New Duties In Extension Work
As of March 16 Ken Cuhel, present Washington County Extension Assistant, will work as a joint youth worker for Johnson and Washington counties. The main duty is 4 H work across both counties, aided by Extension staff, councils, and youth groups. This marks a shift toward area based staffing with more specialists to follow. A Personnel Committee has met with Johnson and Linn counties to plan specialist areas. Eskimos on St. Lawrence Island now use walrus whiskers as toothpicks, joining sealskin parkas and bone kayak frames in a local craft economy.
