On-Farm Food Safety Field Day Thursday Near Fort Dodge

The Iowa Farmers Union (IFU) is partnering with Iowa State University (ISU) Extension and Outreach and the Center for Rural Affairs in hosting an on-farm food safety field day for fruit and vegetable growers. The event will be from 4 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 28 at the Buske Farm near Fort Dodge. The field day will focus on new requirements for growers through the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Produce Safety Rule. Guests will also have an opportunity to observe on-farm food safety inspections. “Any Iowa farmer who grows or handles produce should be up to speed on FSMA and how these new rules will impact their farming operation,” says IFU Food Safety Coordinator, Ronald Tigner. “Even if they think their farm may be exempt from these new rules, many produce buyers will be using FSMA as the new food safety standard for their growers.” The field day is free and open to the public, and more information can be found by following the link below.
