The Iwig family knew they’d run out of time to save their dairy – the bank was ready to foreclose, emergency funds promised by the federal government were slow in coming, and their congresswoman wasn’t returning their calls. So they played the last card they had: their community.
Check out the latest “Political Graffiti” episode, featuring the conclusion of the battle to save the Iwig family farm.
I spoke today at length with Congresswoman’s Lynn Jenkin’s press secretary. She confirmed what I learned yesterday from Tim. Congresswoman Jenkin’s office has had several interaction with the Iwigs. The congresswoman’s staff is aware of the challenges the Iwigs have faced with FSA. Mary, the press secretary, offered advise regarding getting support from the DELAP program. Mary is in the DC office and willing to talk to folks from filmat11.tv , The Iwigs, or other interested parties.
