“This contest is part of our Real Farmers. Real Food. Real Meat. initiative to highlight the efforts of Iowa farmers raising healthy animals while prioritizing sustainability,” says IFBF President Brent Johnson. “We know consumers want to know more about how their food is grown and raised and this contest is a fun way to engage them. Farmers are incredibly proud to provide Iowans with high-quality meats that bring families together.”
“Fareway has long recognized nutritious meat comes from dedicated, responsible farmers,” says Fareway CEO Reynolds Cramer. “This contest celebrates the hard-working men and women in our state who bring food from gate to plate and celebrates food as an experience. Good memories are made around the grill, and Fareway is humbled to be a part of that.”
Animal-based proteins are natural sources of Vitamin B12, responsible for healthy brain development in children and proper nervous-system function. Red meat, and poultry also provide the most zinc in American diets to support immune health. Farmers also continue to harness technology and innovation to raise animals with fewer natural resources.
