ISU Specialist Says Family Farm Has Vital Role
Everett Stoneberg, extension specialist at Iowa State University, says family farms will continue to raise and feed most Iowa beef, aided by homegrown feed, labor limits, credit access, and confinement facilities. Iowa’s grain and corn silage harvests support cattle feeding with flexible cropping, keeping family farms competitive despite large commercial feedlots.
