Winter edition of Fresh Pickings delivers ag awareness to consumers statewide
January 19, 2023
More than 140,000 food and health-minded Iowans discovered the latest issue of Fresh Pickings magazine in their mailboxes, email inboxes and on social media this week.
The Iowa Food & Family Project’s seasonal print publication makes modern agriculture accessible, interesting and relevant to consumers statewide through personable editorial and stunning photography.
The latest issue showcases how cover crops improve soil health and water quality and the many ways innovation is essential in providing a safe, sustainable and nutritious food supply. Plus, readers will get an inside look at the farm-to-fork connection from three online influencers, go behind the scenes in the auction ring with Al and Jeanne Conover, and learn what is on the minds of Iowa’s grocery shoppers. If readers are looking for a divine reason to road trip across the state this year, they will love our "Sweet Tooth Tour of Iowa."
Erica Lain, who grows soybeans and corn and raises beef cattle with her husband Kenton, pens her second installment of our year-long “Fresh Picked” magazine series and discusses the intriguing parallels between agriculture and parenting.
