Change in birth date rules for County Fair pigs
The Washington County Fair Livestock Committee moved pigs eligible for 4-H and FFA shows to be born on or after January 15 1976 to align with an earlier fair. The 1976 County Fair runs July 26 to 29. Director Jim Frier urges pigs weigh 220 to 230 pounds at fair time, typically at 5 to 6 months old. Pigs born between January 26 and February 10 will be eligible under the new rule.

Check ASCS Before Harvesting Drought Damaged Crops
Farmers with drought damaged grain crops may qualify for disaster payments. Check with the ASCS office before harvesting or destroying moisture stressed corn or grain sorghum. An ASCS representative must appraise damage prior to any sale or disposal. Payments apply to corn and grain sorghum, not soybeans, based on last year's law with a new forage value factor. Potential payments drop if crops are harvested or destroyed without ASCS consultation.

Federal funds process widens with state review in Iowa
Decentralization gives Iowa more leverage over federal disbursement to cities and counties. A-95 forms route through state planning office and regional commissions, with comments from both sides but no veto power. Federal agencies increasingly heed state and regional reviews as funding slows to respond.

Tyson Sees Value in Regional and State Reviews
Tyson said the commissions reviews serve a good purpose. He noted that in fiscal 1974 Iowa local governments applied for more than 400 million dollars in federal funds, highlighting the scale of federal aid requests from municipalities.
