Inside the Iowa State Fair's Agriculture Building

[Narrator] Everyone who visits the fair can learn something new about where their food comes from and all the work that goes into producing it. One impressive display after another graces the exhibit space in the Agriculture Building. In the early days, farm families would exhibit their crops in elaborate arrangements, grain and seed bundles, fruits and vegetables, everything grown in their Iowa gardens. Today, the abundance and diversity of Iowa's agricultural products is still there. It's an opportunity for agricultural enthusiasts to learn from each other and educate the public. Farmers and gardeners from across the state can showcase their produce and compete for awards. Then and now, an award from the Iowa State Fair really means something.
