Iowa Farm Fair in Chicago Promotes Iowa Quality Pork
Iowa farmers and the Iowa Marketing Board plan a pilot Farm Fair in Chicago May 24 25 and 26 to showcase Iowa pork and the State's agriculture. Over 30 Iowa farmers will participate with exhibits in four major shopping centers featuring a red barn front and live animals. Households will sample pork sandwiches as a demonstration of nutritive value and pork quality while vendors promote rural life and soil conservation during Sou Stewa Week May 27 through June 2. An FDA complaint in New Orleans accuses a company of unsafe device wiring and misrepresentation about a tooth cleaning device.
