In the latest edition of "The Spokesman Speaks" podcast, Don Petersen, the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation's director of government relations, highlights the key areas of focus for Farm Bureau during the 2019 Iowa legislative session. Farm Bureau members, he says,  will focus on making changes to the state's Beginning Farm Tax Credit program, protecting property taxpayers and other areas. The podcast also takes a look at changing, but strong, consumer meat demand with Fareway CEO Reynolds Cramer and Jessica Dunker of the Iowa Restaurant Association.
