Iowa Ag Insider, August 31, 2012

Welcome to the initial edition of the Iowa Ag Insider, the newsletter of the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship. We see this newsletter as a way to keep people informed of the activities of the Department and also highlight some of the exciting things going on in Iowa agriculture in general. If you know of events or stories that should be included in future newsletters I hope that you will share them with us so they can be included in future editions. Also, if you know of people who would enjoy receiving this newsletter I hope you will pass it on as the information on how to subscribe is on the bottom of each issue. This is an exciting time of year in Iowa as farmers and everyone involved in agriculture gets ready to kickoff the growing season. We wish everyone a successful and safe 2013 as we get to the business of growing the crops that help power Iowa’s economy and feed the people of our state and trading partners around the world. Iowa is fortunate to have such a dynamic agriculture industry and each of you play a role in helping make Iowa agriculture so successful.
