Online Event (link provided upon registration)

Iowa is expected to be a key focus for MAHA advocates heading into the 2026 legislative session. That means now is the time for Iowa agribusinesses to understand what’s happening nationally and prepare for what may come next.

Join us for a webinar as industry leaders share the latest updates from states already facing MAHA-driven proposals, discuss likely implications for Iowa agriculture, and outline how our industry can stay ahead of emerging policy challenges.

FEATURED SPEAKERS:

Submit Nominations to AAI for Sec. of Agriculture's Renewable Fuels Awards

The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship has opened the nominations the Renewable Fuels Marketing Awards.

If you would like your business to be nominated, or if you would like to nominate another business, contact AAI by Dec.12 and we will work with you to complete the nomination and submit it to IDALS by the award deadline.
