Hide Profile

The Iowa Farmers Union is a division of the National Farmers Union, established in 1902 and more formally known as the Farmers Educational and Cooperative Union of America. The Iowa group was reorganized and rechartered in 1957. Consequently, most of the files of the IFU date from this time. The IFU is organized into community and county units in over 30 Iowa counties. Members participate in trips to Washington, D.C. to lobby for their interests. The IFU has served as host for foreign farm leaders, has run summer camps for children of members, provided an On the Job Training program in the 1960s, and offers such services as cooperatives and insurance coverage to its members.
