This FarmChat® was hosted by the Iowa Agriculture Literacy Foundation (IALF) in partnership with the Iowa Pork Producers Association. The program accompanied IALF's Ag in Action "Learning with Pigs" unit, to offer insight into where food comes from and to encourage educators to integrate agriculture into their curriculum.
