Following a year marked by tightening margins, rising production costs, and heightened global uncertainty, Iowa farmers are preparing for another challenging season ahead. To help producers navigate volatile markets and sharpen risk-management strategies, the Iowa Farm Bureau is hosting an Ag Market Outlook Meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 25, from 5 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds Cambridge Building.
