Over the next couple of weeks, legislators across Iowa are holding public forums in communities statewide. These meetings are an easy way to hear directly from lawmakers and make sure agriculture, energy, and rural voices are part of the conversation.
If there’s a forum in your area, ACA encourages you to attend, ask questions, and share how these issues affect your farm, business, or community.
