Book Description
This bulletin provides suggestions for use by Iowa farm tenants and landlords when working out solutions to their farm rental problems. Some of these problems are: finding the right tenant and the right farm; choosing the most appropriate type of lease; sharing farm income and expense; selecting the most useful lease provisions; determining what the rent shall be; getting needed improvements; and drawing the lease so that it will accommodate new farming practices and so that it will comply with Iowa law. There are four main types of farm leases used in Iowa. They are (1) cash, (2)crop-share, (3) livestock-share, (4) labor-share. All four lease types are used in every county in the state. However, some areas show a strong preference for one type of lease over the others. ... There are good reasons for these variations. Different farming situations call for different types of farm lease arrangements."--Page 3.

Book Description
During the 1930s in the United States, the Works Progress Administration developed the Federal Writers’ Project to support writers and artists while making a national effort to document the country’s shared history and culture. The American Guide series consists of individual guides to each of the states. Little-known authors—many of whom would later become celebrated literary figures—were commissioned to write these important books. John Steinbeck, Saul Bellow, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ralph Ellison are among the more than 6,000 writers, editors, historians, and researchers who documented this celebration of local histories. Photographs, drawings, driving tours, detailed descriptions of towns, and rich cultural details exhibit each state’s unique flavor. The rolling hills between the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers are home to the Midwest’s Hawkeye State, faithfully cataloged in the WPA Guide to Iowa. Stressing the agricultural roots and varied crops grown throughout the state, this guide includes many pictures depicting the lives of Iowa farm workers in the 1930’s.
