Workers in Farm Service Agency offices around the state are installing new computer software to fix a Y-2-K computer glitch. Bob Sukup the Farm Service Agency’s state director, says they found a millennium bug in the computer program which calculates special payments that about 98-thousand Iowa farmers were eligible for.Sukup says farmers payments will NOT be affected, even if the corrective software — known as 4-24 — isn’t installed.
