Renew Rural Iowa

Renew Rural Iowa is uniquely designed to help Iowa entrepreneurs uncover opportunities for improving their business – while providing the support and connections necessary to make those opportunities a reality.

Seminars

Iowa Farm Bureau’s Renew Rural Iowa seminars are uniquely designed to help Iowa business leaders cut through the confusion that comes with developing and growing a business by understanding the stages of business growth, their unique challenges and methods to overcome them. Individual seminars will help you appraise the strengths and weaknesses of your own businesses and learn about tools to help you accelerate your existing business or jump-start new ones. You’ll also have the opportunity to discuss your challenges with other business owners and utilize the collective power of their experiences to help you address your barriers head on.

Who Should Attend?

People with an idea for a business, those already in a business looking to grow, or those wanting to learn what is being taught today to grow businesses in Iowa. (CEOs, CFOs, general managers, directors, vice presidents and top executives of Iowa-based interstate commerce businesses.)
