It is more important now than ever for ag to tell our story. Landus prioritizes developing connections with lawmakers and engaging them with cutting-edge technology.
If you’ve received any Landus marketing material (which if you haven’t, make sure you subscribe to Grow On the Go!), you’ve probably seen us promoting our Innovation Connector (and there’s still time to register for our April 4 event!). We programmed an entire evening to host legislators to meet the creators of the technology displayed in the Innovation Connector.
We hosted over 30 Iowa legislators from all corners of the state, as well as both sides of the aisles, to talk about how Landus represents the farmer and rural communities. See the photos of just some of the engaging conversations we had with legislators. Photo names listed in order from left to right.
Landus Director of Capital Ryan Bristle, Landus Board Member Dan Reynolds, and Rep. Derek Wulf talk in front of the mural at the Innovation Connector.
