Meet an Iowa Farmer

We would like to introduce you to Kevin Ross from Crop District 7, who has been farming for ten years with his wife Sara. Kevin is proud to grow corn and soybeans and knows how lucky Iowa is to have the environment, markets, and infrastructure to produce such a high-yielding crop. Kevin believes that one of the common misconceptions consumers tend to have is that the food supply that we produce as farmers isn't always safe to eat, when in all actuality it is safe, and we feed it to our own families. In the next ten years farming practices will continue to change. Kevin thinks that the future holds higher yields, large risk, and even more precise placement of fertilizer and seed. Kevin is proud to call himself and Iowa Farmer and is currently serving as Vice President of the Iowa Corn Growers Association, and will become President of the ICGA in September.
