PLYMOUTH COUNTY Plymouth County, the fourth largest county in the state of Iowa, was established on January 15, 1851 and formally organized on October 12, 1858. It is named after the landing place of the Pilgrims on the Mayflower. The county was attached to Woodbury County for judicial and other reasons prior to 1858. Plymouth County began with two civil townships. The county now has 24 townships. The site of the first courthouse was in Melbourne. It was built in October of 1859 at a cost of $2,000. In 1861 the building was insured, desks were purchased and an outhouse and steps were added. The courthouse in Melbourne had many uses, including winter quarters for soldiers for the federal government, as well as a grocery. The first public school was taught in Melbourne in December 1859. Records show that the school fund was $470 and the number of students registered was 32. In 1872, by a close vote, the county seat was moved to Le Mars. The town of Le Mars had been platted in 1869, and was named by using the initials of the names of ladies who visited the town with a group of realtors, a state legislator and a state registrar of deeds. In 1874, residents voted to build a new courthouse and jail in Le Mars on Block 35. Three thousand dollars was approved by the voters and appropriated from the swamp land fund of Sioux City and the Iowa Falls Town Lot and Land Company donated the land. In 1900, at the general election on November 6, a bond issue was passed to build a new courthouse, at a cost of no more than $70,000. -

China Fires Back Again As Trade Tensions Escalate
April 4, 2018 Volume 14, Number 14 China fires back again as trade tensions escalate In the latest salvo of trade actions between the U.S. and Chinese governments, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce (MOC) announced plans today to impose a 25 percent tariff on $50 billion of U.S. goods, including soybeans, corn, beef, frozen orange juice and whiskey, according to the Chinese News Agency, Xinhua. The Commerce Ministry said the tariff would be imposed on 106 items of products under 14 categories – but the date of implementation will depend on when the U.S. government imposes tariffs on Chinese products. The latest announcement from China comes after the Trump administration announced in late March that about $3 billion in steel and aluminum tariffs would be put in place to protect national security. Although several countries would be impacted, the target was clearly China - the largest global producer of steel and aluminum. On Monday, China returned fire by imposing similar measures on $3 billion worth of U.S. pork, fruit, wine, nuts and other items. Then on Tuesday, the U.S. Trade Representative published a list of 1,300 Chinese exports, worth about $50 billion, that could be hit with a 25 percent tariff to punish the Asian giant for stealing U.S. trade secrets, intellectual property and innovation. Written comments on the proposal are due May 11 and the Section 301 Committee will convene a public hearing on this proposal at the U.S. International Trade Commission on May 15. But the Chinese didn’t waste any time firing back with the same level of tariffs. -

All joking aside, let’s talk about a simple vision that grew into a T conceptV and createdision a mission. The Iowa State Fair began in 1854 as an event where farmers, manufacturers and homemakers would bring together their products in “amicable rivalry.” What started out as livestock judging and a showcase of crops slowly developed into a must-attend experience brimming with tradition. Drew Sniezek Communications Manager Many buildings on the Iowa State Fairgrounds were constructed before 1920. Because they were unheated, Iowa’s freeze-thaw cycle took its toll. By the late 1970s, loose mortar, sagging roofs, rotting windows and unsafe wiring were robbing the Fairgrounds of its dignity. Although the Fair was operating in the black, neither profits nor legislative appropriations were enough to curtail the crumbling. Despite the Fairgrounds being listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the prospect of a gradual shutdown of the unsafe facility loomed. A simple vision In 1993, the Iowa State Fair Board created the Blue Ribbon Foundation. The that grew into Foundation’s charge was to conduct a major capital campaign for renovation a concept and and preservation of the Fairgrounds – with a vision for the future. created a mission. Fast-forward 27 years and the Blue Ribbon Foundation continues to create new programs to offer Fairgoers ways to support various improvement projects across the Fairgrounds.

Trump Maintaining Rural Base Despite Biden Push
November 4, 2020 Volume 16, Number 42 Trump maintaining rural base despite Biden push President Donald Trump maintained his strength in rural areas of battleground states even as he struggled to win reelection against a Democratic surge in the suburbs and big cities for former Vice President Joe Biden. The outcome of the race remained in doubt Wednesday morning because of the slow pace of counting votes in Georgia and North Carolina as well as the northern battlegrounds of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Early Wednesday morning, Biden expressed confidence that he was on track to win. Later at the White House, Trump went further by claiming victory and vowing to fight what he claimed were Democratic attempts to “steal” the election. Democrats made a concerted effort to cut Former Vice President Joe Biden (left) and President into GOP rural margins without much Donald Trump (right) evidence of success. In many major agricultural counties, Trump was on track to even exceed the margins by which he carried them in 2016, helping Republicans down ballot in Senate and House races. In southwest Wisconsin, Trump was winning Grant County by 55% of the vote, beating his 51% share in 2016 and Mitt Romney’s 42% showing in 2012. Trump also met or beat his 2016 performance in neighboring counties of Iowa, which he won relatively easily after Barack Obama had carried them in 2012. In Darke County, Ohio, one of that state’s largest agricultural counties, Trump was getting 81% of the vote, compared to 79% in 2016. www.Agri-Pulse.com 1 A lot of issues important to U.S. -
