International Year of Family Farming 2014

We’re coming to the end of the International Year of FamilyFarming. It’s winter here in Iowa—the harvest is in and snow covers the ground. We’re grateful for the food that family farmers all over the world work so hard to cultivate, and we wish everyone a prosperous and healthy 2015.
