Description of the flag

The Clay County City Hall photo shows along with national and state flags a blue flag (on a pole as high as the state flag's, shorter than the national flag's pole) with some large emblem on it: www.iowacounties.org/County+Info/History+Pages/clay.htm. Too bad that Archive.ORG didn't keep the b/w flag image once at web.archive.org/web/20030628193727/www.iowacounties.org/County+Info/Flags/Clay.htm.

The flag for Clay County, Iowa, consists of the seal on a white escroll that reads "CLAY COUNTY" in red. The seal and escroll are located inside a white outline of Iowa. Also in the outline is a white star located where Clay County is on the map. The seal has an inner circle and an outer circle. The inner circle is divided into quarters by a yellow line, resembling crosshairs. The background color is a deep blue.

In the top left quarter the seal is a stick figure and in front of it, an ox with a plow. There are mountains in the background and the stick figure seems to have some sort of abdominal appendage.
In the top right quarter is a small house,
In the bottom left quarter is some sort of castle or midwestern courthouse? I'm not totally sure.
In the bottom right quarter is a factory with three giant pipes.
Within the top of the outer circle reads "AGRICULTURE AND INDUSTRY", and the bottom of said circle reading "GROWING TOGETHER".

Seal

A different seal compared to that on the flag shows the cupola of a public building and six windmills inside a yellow-edge white ring.
