The Iowa Farm Bureau is hosting an economic summit on Friday in Des Moines under the heading, “Managing Through Challenging Times.” Iowa Farm Bureau president Craig Hill says it’s been a tough couple of years for farmers and ranchers and this event will offer them help on several fronts.

Summit attendees will be able to learn more about how the Farm Bill is being implemented.

Hill says it’s also a chance to share information about new revenue opportunities stemming from hemp, crop insurance, and blockchain technology.
