Ag in the Classroom is back!!

On Friday, Outreach Coordinator Madilynn visited Riverside Community School District 1st and 2nd grade classes to talk about the amazing things farmers do for us. The students read about how farmers are superheroes too! They each got to make thank you cards for the farmers to support Riverside FFA Chapter’s Feed the Farmers event on October 25th.

Thank you Farmers!

🥪🐖 Iowa’s beloved Breaded Pork Tenderloin Sandwich is back in the spotlight!

The Iowa Pork Producers Association has narrowed the field from 40 contenders down to just five finalists for the coveted title of Iowa’s Best Breaded Pork Tenderloin 2025:

📍 The 1854 – Gilbertville
📍 Dexfield Diner & Pub – Redfield
📍 Hometown Heroes – Grinnell
📍 Sugar’s Lounge & Diner – Council Bluffs

From flavor and tenderness to presentation and overall experience, these sandwiches rose to the top — and now a final panel of judges will decide who takes home the crown 👑 (and the bragging rights that come with it).

This week is National Farm Safety & Health Week. To celebrate, we shared a few road safety tips to kick off this harvest season!

🚜 Road Safety During Harvest Season

For Farmers & Equipment Operators:
- Use proper lighting and signage: SMV emblems, reflectors, and flashing lights must be visible.
- Travel during daylight, when possible, for better visibility.
- Stay to the right and keep equipment as far over as safely possible.
- Signal early with lights or hand signals before turning or stopping.
- Avoid distractions while operating machinery on public roads.

For Drivers Sharing the Road:
- Be patient—farm equipment moves slowly.
- Keep a safe distance; machinery may stop suddenly or make wide turns.
- Pass with caution only when it’s legal and safe.
- Watch for debris like mud, grain, or crop residue.
- Respect rural communities—extra caution keeps everyone safe.

🌾 A little patience goes a long way—help keep harvest season safe for all.

Hello everyone! My name is Madilynn Marburger and I am excited to be serving as the new Outreach Coordinator for East Pottawattamie and Cass Counties!

Little bit about myself:
I am from Malvern, Iowa and recently graduated from Southwestern Community College, majoring in general studies with an agriculture focus.
Although I didn’t grow up on a farm, I found my passion for agriculture through my involvement in 4-H and FFA. I was able to continue to pursue that passion in college by being a part of the ag club, and becoming a dairy ambassador for Midwest Dairy.
I found my passion for talking with farmers and consumers, and being an advocate for ag, which led me to where I am now.

I look forward to starting in this new role and all the opportunities both counties have to offer!
