Abstract

This is the third economic base study published by the Iowa State University Cooperative Extension Service about different areas of the state. The first two were "The Economic Base of TENCO," RAD-31, April 1964 and "The Economic Base of NIAD," RAD-37, May 1964. The TENCO study concerns 10 counties in southern Iowa. The NIAD study was done in a nine county area in northern Iowa. The present study includes seven counties in southern Iowa: Adair, Adams, Union, Clarke, Taylor, Ringgold and Decatur (see map, page 4) . The Cooperative Extension Service in the seven counties planned a coordinated and intensive educational program on economic and social development for the area, initiated in 1965. The following study was prepared to provide educational materials and program direction for this educational effort.
