Naig said “The ‘From the Farm to You’ calendar emphasizes the connection between the production of our state’s farmers and everyday products enjoyed by Iowans. The art by these students helps showcase Iowa agriculture in a way that can be enjoyed throughout the year.” He presented the students with a certificate during the State Fair recognizing their selection.
