Happy and ! Did you know that Iowa is home to 25.9 million acres of cropland and the average farm size is 345 acres? We are able to grow a lot of corn and soybeans, which in turn is fed to livestock to create meat, dairy, eggs and many other products that consumers can enjoy. Additionally, corn and soybeans can be refined to create biodiesel and ethanol, which save consumers money at the pump. All of this is important to our economy, our communities, and our families.

Share Memories and Support the Family.
