The World
Comes Here

Iowa is home to the most productive and innovative livestock producers in the world. Supported by a strong base of researchers and industry professionals, they constantly apply new technology and information to improve how they care for their animals and the environment.

Some of the most groundbreaking innovations in crop genetics, plant science and soil science come from Iowa. Cutting-edge research happens here every day, whether it’s at legacy global companies based here, startups or university labs across the state.

Iowa is the nation’s renewable fuels leader. But that’s just one example of the hundreds of new uses researchers and innovators have found for the abundance of corn, soybeans and other commodities grown here. The result? Benefits for producers, consumers and the environment.

It makes sense the top state for producing so many important commodities would also be known for its food production. The combination of ready ingredients, food science expertise and a hunger for innovation are the perfect recipe for industry leadership in the state.

For more than a century, the world’s most exciting ag technologies have been pioneered and built in Iowa. Today, global leaders and startups alike are developing equipment and robotics, automation and predictive analytics to power those technologies.
