Agribusiness Association of Iowa The Agribusiness Association of Iowa exists to advocate, communicate, and educate on behalf of a professional agribusiness industry. www.agribiz.org

The Agribusiness Association of Iowa was formed in 1994, as the result of a merger between the Iowa Grain & Feed Association (IGFA) and the Iowa Fertilizer and Chemical Association (IFCA). The IGFA was organized in 1899 by a group of 150 elevator operators who realized many benefits could be gained within the industry by united action. The IFCA was created in 1964, to promote the use of fertilizer, agricultural chemicals, and other economic plant food carriers in Iowa, and assist in educational and research programs.

In addition to providing the amplified voice of agribusiness to all of our dues paying members, AAI hosts industry training and connection events throughout the year. Details can frequently be found on this page and on the AAI website.

Every good harvest starts with giving the soil exactly what it needs to thrive.

And behind every field in Iowa, a network of more than 7,300 people work in the fertilizer industry, contributing $4.3 billion to the economy and keeping our crops healthy and communities strong.

Iowa has 2,399 passive train crossings - marked with crossbuck signs only - where it's easiest to misjudge an approaching train's speed. Know the length of your truck/trailer or slow-moving ag equipment and give lots of extra time to cross the tracks.
