Harnessing change
By Ambassador Terry Branstad
My family and I have been involved in agriculture for 140 years. Since my ancestors began tilling the soil in Winnebago county, we have seen incredible advancements and constant challenges to meeting the needs of a growing domestic and global population.
During my first term as Governor of Iowa, we successfully managed the farm crisis of the 1980s. We worked tirelessly to diversify, invest in new technologies, and bring additional value to our crops. We understood the implications of our work: we were not just fighting for the future of the family farm but for the ability to feed the world.
