The Iowa Corn Growers Association and Iowa Corn Promotion Board will again join with local sponsoring groups to host 14 free crop fairs across Iowa this winter.

“Our crop fairs are an established tradition for many growers,” said Don Mason, ICGA/ICPB director of grower services. “They make top experts available at local gatherings where farmers can ask questions and tap into the latest information on issues that affect their profitability.”
Mason especially thanked local sponsoring groups and businesses for making the crop fair program possible: “We would not have been able to offer up-to-date information to thousands of farmers without the support of our sponsors. “

Jan. 5 in Shenandoah
