“Many Iowans have questions about the decision to retire early or to withdraw retirement savings,” said Wollan, who specializes in family finance. Rethinking Your Retirement during COVID-19 is a new, 45-minute online workshop to help Iowans evaluate the benefits and consequences of the decision to retire early or withdraw retirement savings during this turbulent time.

The course is intended for exempt home food operations and home bakers who make and sell foods out of their homes or sell produce at farmers markets. The course modules cover Iowa food policies and regulations, food safety basics, foodborne pathogens, and safe production and preparation practices, said Shannon Coleman, assistant professor in food science and human nutrition and a human sciences extension specialist at Iowa State.
