Secretary of Ag Bill Northey

Thanks to Don Vittetoe for arranging for Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey to speak to the club for Ag Appreciation Day. Thanks to Rotarians for inviting all the guests.

Bill Northey

Secretary Northey told the Club that Iowa ranks high in agriculture. Iowa is:

• #1 state in corn production
• #2 state in soybean production
• #1 state in pork production

For some global perspective though, Iowa raises 21 million hogs annually, while China raises 465 million. That is a lot of bacon.
