Tough loss. Close game. Great competition.

A deal is a deal. After a close Sweet 16 game between Nebraska and Iowa, we’re highlighting six facts about Iowa agriculture and the important role it plays in feeding and fueling our country.

We’ll give credit where it’s due. From leading the nation in corn, pork, and egg production to major investments in soil health and water quality, Iowa farmers are doing some impressive work.

Congratulations on a great game, Iowa Farm Bureau .

(Nebraska still holds the top spot in our book. 😉)

LOCAL FARM BUREAU AG LEADERS ADVOCATE FOR IOWA AGRICULTURE IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
Farm Bureau members from across the state departed their Iowa farms for Washington, D.C., Sept. 8-11, and met with their elected officials and agency representatives. Members shared personal stories and examples of how important ag issues impact their farms, including the critical need for the farm bill. Other important topics and issues raised by members included protecting interstate commerce, combating low crop prices and growing opportunities for trade.
Twenty-eight members from the graduating class of Iowa Farm Bureau Federation’s (IFBF) Ag Leaders Institute, which trains members on how to represent their farms, their county Farm Bureaus and the ag industry, joined the trip. Included in the trip, pictured left to right, were Joseph Enerson of Estherville; Cody Williams of Hornick; Caleb Clemon of Soldier and Nick Smith of Webb.
