Indemnity debates on TB bills in Iowa legislature
The Martin TB indemnity bill, favored by E M Lichty of Black Hawk County, advances from committee as the legislature reopens. Springer’s measure is tabled. The plan proposes higher state indemnity for slaughtered breeding cattle after tests, with salvage proceeds offsetting payments, and sets limits on payouts. Wisconsin moves to eradicate bovine tuberculosis with a 750,000 appropriation, noting higher costs but strong consumer demand for tuberculin-tested cattle.
