Heartland NAMA’s DESTIHL Brewery tour on October 25 proved informational and a great networking opportunity, with dinner afterwards. The technology of brewing was a big part of the information shared and samples were available.

In addition to learning about DESTIHL sources of ingredients, the group learned more about Farm Progress and how they track attendees. There was also information shared about exhibitors using Bluetooth technology. Everyone enjoyed the afternoon/evening.

Iowa NAMA’s October 13^th event was a social happy hour held at Tipsy Crow in downtown Des Moines. It was a great time networking and enjoying each other’s company on one of the last beautiful fall afternoons. The next meeting is November 16^th at the FFA Enrichment Center in Ankeny, Iowa. The chapter will hear from Claire Masker of the National Pork Board about the #RealPigFarming campaign.
