As the state of Iowa continues to invest in agrcultural endeavors from large-scale hog production to smaller, single-family farms, it’s no surprise that state and local leaders were quick to speak in support of National Ag Day, which is today. 

“We’re pretty excited about it since we are a very ag-based state,” Communications Manger of the Iowa Soybean Association Heather Lilienthal said. 

“We are part of group called the Iowa Food and Family Project, and what this project does is to really try and get beyond the farm gates and really reach out to people to find out more information about what farmers do on their farms.”
