  Much of Iowa experienced blizzard conditions in January.  Some producers are finding snow blown in on top of stored grain in on farm bins.  If this snow is not dealt with, it will melt and could cause grain spoilage later this spring.  This week should provide a good opportunity to get rid of this snow or moisture left behind by the melting snow.

People move into and out of EITC eligibility based on changes in their earnings, their parental status or their marital status according to Phyllis Zalenski, Family Resource Management Program Specialist, Iowa State University Extension.
