AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Iowa Education & Workforce: A new report highlights Iowa’s “honesty gap” in reading standards—state tests reportedly top out at “below basic” compared with NAEP—while Gov. Kim Reynolds has stayed notably quiet, raising questions about future workforce readiness. State Fair & Local Economy: The Iowa State Fair keeps driving business activity, from new food offerings like the Biscuit Bar’s “Piggy in a Donut” and “party biscuit” to a Farm-to-Fair Meal built with Iowa ag groups. Agriculture Markets: Corn and soybeans tick higher as traders watch severe flooding in the eastern Corn Belt and the Pro Farmer Crop Tour kicks off. Farm Succession: Iowa farm succession planning gets a push, with experts urging families to start the conversation early and treat plans as living documents. Nonprofit Funding (Iowa): IRS data spotlights how government grants dominate some Iowa nonprofit revenue mixes in cities like Davenport and Marshalltown. Politics & Business Climate: The DNC approved a 2028 primary calendar that puts South Carolina first and keeps Iowa out of the early lineup, reshaping how candidates and money chase key voter blocs.
