Historical note
The Iowa Organization of Women for Agriculture (I.O.W.A.) was founded in 1984. Their goal is "to unite together to promote agriculture as a way of life, to preserve the family farm system, and to tell the story of agriculture to the general public." I.O.W.A. was an affiliate of American Agri-Women, a national coalition of farm and ranch women. In the late 1980s the organization became inactive. |
Collection description
This collection (1984-1986) contains newsletters and conference programs. The newsletters discuss activities, identify officers, and include brief articles edited from other agricultural magazines. The conference programs detail the topics of the annual program, such as farm chemicals, the role of farm women, and the 1985 Farm Bill. |
