It can be very challenging to locate information about individual ISU Extension publications via the library website. Quick Search will list the name of the series, but it will not list individual publications within each series. The Parks Library Reference Collection has a List of Current Series, Serial Publications (Series Publications of Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service), published as of March 2004. It lists each publication from 1888-2004 (by title and publication number - and in some cases it will show an author name).

Abstract
Boone County is located in central Iowa almost in the center of the state. The location is shown on the accompanying sketch map. It lies entirely in the Wisconsin drift soil area and hence its soils are all of glacial origin. The total area of Boone county is 569 square miles or 364,160 acres. Of this area 343,709 acres, or 94.3 percent is in farm land. The total number of farms is 2,481 and the average size of the farms is 139 acres.
