About the NIETC Informational Meeting

August 30, 2024

A couple hundred residents of different counties gathered at the Hiawatha Fisher Center on Sunday, August 11, to hear a presentation on the Federal 30x30 Agenda. Angel Cushing of Lyon County was the speaker, assisted by Beth Salmans of Marshall County. The 30x30 program is a plan advanced by radical environmental activists to permanently protect 30% of America’s land and oceans by 2030, and much of it is being done without ever notifying any of the county governments of their plan to remove thousands of private acres from the tax base, destroying the economies of the region. Cushing has been sounding the alarm since 2021 on this government overreach and war on agriculture and nutrition. There are many moving parts to this federal 30x30 agenda, and every federal department is now tasked with its implementation.

A shout out to the No-Hunger Summer volunteers

August 9, 2024

Huge shout out to the volunteers for the No Hunger Summer program in Hiawatha. These volunteers show up and dedicate several hours a day to make sure children in the community don’t go without! This is a great program that provides healthy meals for children of any age or background, all summer long. The program volunteers also offer positive adult interaction to each of the children, Tenley wants to “get a brown bag” everyday, more for the interaction with the volunteers versus the food! We even have to drive by on the weekends so she can see its closed. We are blessed to have volunteers in our community that are willing to make days a little brighter. Thank you to Marge Stover. who gave Tenley some of the biggest smiles of the summer.
