Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig will announce the recipients of 26 Choose Iowa Value-Added Grants during an event in Indianola today.
The announcement event, which is part of Iowa Ag Week, will begin at 2:30 pm at Cortum Farm and Co. The event will be held in the family farm’s historic barn, which will be renovated for additional uses as part of their grant project. Choose Iowa Value-Added Grants help build the availability of Iowa grown, raised, and made products for consumers.
Choose Iowa is a marketing initiative overseen by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, and builds on the growing demand for local food, beverages, and ag products.
