Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey invites Iowans attending the Iowa State Fair to visit “Farmville” in the Agriculture Building. This new display is a joint effort between the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and six agriculture commodity groups. “Farmville” will provide fairgoers with resources and samples and includes a live stage to showcase the important role of agriculture in Iowa. The Iowa State Fair runs from Aug. 12 to 22 at the state fairgrounds in Des Moines.
