Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig will visit Carroll, Crawford, and Calhoun Counties tomorrow (Thursday) for his annual visit to all 99 counties. Naig will be visiting the Calhoun County Expo from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. starting at the cattle barn, meeting up with County Expo President Ricole Potts, who will give a guided tour of the fair, with the chance to interact with 4-H, FFA members and fair attendees. After leaving Calhoun County, Naig and staff will travel to Cogdill Farm Supply Inc. in Dow City in Crawford County. The ag business celebrated its 45th anniversary in March, but Naig could not attend due to other scheduled events. Naig will take this opportunity to visit the company, meet with leaders and employees, and discuss ag issues and challenges while providing opportunities for potential solutions. Naig will finish out the day at the Carroll County Fair from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in Coon Rapids, where he will meet with former Fair Board members at the fair office, tour around the fair, visit and interact with fairgoers and 4H and FFA participants. Naig will also visit Buena Vista County at the Tyson Feed Mill in Storm Lake to discuss turkey production in Iowa, but that visit is closed to the public.
