Iowa State Fair Exhibitor Awards

FFA members gain valuable experiences when exhibiting at the Iowa State Fair. Taking advantage of this opportunity helps young people learn to select, feed and manage high quality livestock which meet the consumer demands. Cash awards for the performance beef, derby pork, and carcass lambs encourage students to gain educational experiences associated with production of quality food efficiently. Understanding carcass qualities in addition to showing live animals deserves additional premium money and prizes. Therefore, it is necessary to secure these dollars to attract more students to the shows which include carcass evaluation in the final placing.

Agribusinesses, food processing companies, manufacturers of livestock equipment and livestock producers, as well as associations are encouraged to invest in Iowa's young people who are preparing for farming and other future careers in the livestock industry by providing donations ranging from $100 to $1,000. These dollars will create more interest in exhibiting in the carcass and performance classes at the Iowa State Fair.


Benefits to Sponsors: Names of sponsors for each species will be included on posters displayed in respective livestock show buildings. Sponsors will receive copies of the carcass/performance show results following the Iowa State Fair.
