Agriculture and Natural Resources Program Area
Agriculture is important to Iowa. We grow crops and raise livestock to feed our nation and beyond. Much
of Iowa’s economy thrives on our rich agricultural heritage and ANR Extension and Outreach plays an
important role in providing research-based information and resources to educate Iowa’s farmers, producers
and agribusinesses. Our programs impact all Iowans, whether they live in a rural or urban area, and have
been developed to improve our quality of life.
