Iowa has a rich agricultural history.  We literally feed the world.

The agriculture industry has gone through some major transformations over the past 50 years.  These advances have expanded the scale, speed, and productivity of the agriculture industry.  Efficiency has become essential in order to produce the highest quality crop each year and produce the healthiest livestock, while also being thoughtful stewards of the land.
