No bones about it, we’re a ham and eggs state
Iowa agriculture dominates several commodities, from livestock to crops, according to the recently released Iowa Agricultural Statistics booklet. The state ranks first in production of hogs and egg-laying hens and is in the top 10 for raising cattle, calves, sheep and lambs. The booklet is produced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service’s (NASS) Iowa field office. Iowa’s cattle, hog and sheep producers’ receipts grew by 20 percent last year, to $8.32 billion, according to the booklet.
