In June of 1953, the "Iowa Bureau Farmer" wrote its final edition before merging with the Iowa Farm Bureau Spokesman. In honor of our Young Farmer Tailgate coming up, and the recent Market Study Trip to the Netherlands, we thought this was a fitting throwback! While the terms "Young Farmer" and "Market Study Trip" weren't used back in 1953, it is evident that providing these similar opportunities to Iowa Farmers nearly 70 years ago was still a foundational pillar of our great organization!

From Iowa to Oregon, to Washington, to Canada, and back home… This trip could’ve been yours for the price of $156.25 (plus meals!) 😊

Congratulations to our 2025 Volunteer of the Year, Tom Formanek! 🏆

Tom was a past board member and served in that role for 9 years. He has been instrumental in many improvement projects and has never missed a set up or clean up day! He also volunteers his time auctioneering at the livestock auction and coordinating the Stellar Picnic and sponsorship of the Night of Destruction. Our board had a tough time keeping him near the show ring for the big surprise because he had work to do on the grounds. Thank you Tom for your service to the Hancock County Fair! 👏👏👏
