Elementary school students across Iowa are in for an exciting educational adventure as they are invited to experience pig farming through a unique virtual experience on Thursday, Oct. 26. The Iowa Pork Producers Association, in collaboration with the Iowa Agriculture Literacy Foundation (IALF), is thrilled to present "Learning with Pigs FarmChat®". 

During this interactive webinar, students will virtually join IALF's Education Program Coordinator, Alex Osborn, on a tour of Todd and Denise Wiley's pig farm in Benton County.

Farm-owner, Todd Wiley, expressed his enthusiasm for this initiative, saying, “We appreciate the opportunity to educate grade school students as well as 4-H and FFA kids who have a genuine interest in learning about animal agriculture and raising pork.”

Video: Cold Weather Farming: Tough Week On The Farm!

Cold weather has officially arrived at Ewetopia Farms, and this week gave us everything November in Canada can throw at a sheep farm! In today’s episode, Cold Weather Farming, we take you through a full week of real, raw, and unpredictable conditions that define life on a Canadian sheep farm this time of year.

From pouring rain to heavy winds, mud, freezing temperatures, and finally snow, we experienced just about every type of weather Mother Nature could deliver in a matter of days. With winter arriving early, it's all hands on deck to keep the farm running smoothly and to make sure our Suffolk and Poll Dorset sheep stay warm, dry, and comfortable.
