Iowa is the breadbasket of the world. We are the top producer of hogs, corn, and eggs. How do we feed the world while protecting our water, soil, and communities?

This month at the Lyceum, we are talking about the virtue of embracing limits. Americans embrace ideals of liberty and personal freedom, but what are the values that place limits on our freedom? In Iowa, we are all have a stake in our agricultural economy. How can we embrace growth, while also respecting the limits placed on us by other values, such as the quality of our water and soil and the well-being of our rural communities?

State Representative and farmer, Ras Smith, and the owner of Dogpatch Urban Gardens, Jenny Quiner, will join us.
