Evolution of the Heartland

August 3, 2023 - August 4, 2023

AN IMMERSIVE RURAL IOWA EXPERIENCE

The seeds have been planted. Businesses are taking root. The prairie is evolving. Are you ready for what’s next? The American dream has never been more alive than it is right now in rural Iowa. Investments and advancements are happening in schools, hospitals, tourist attractions, businesses, and even on Main Streets.

The Evolution of the Heartland Tour is designed to showcase what’s happening in rural Iowa today and highlight how agriculture has been a catalyst for entrepreneurial mindsets who believe in growing their dreams and contributing to the greater common good.

This event draws people to the Manning/Audubon area to learn about agriculture, small business, and how rural communities are thriving. The event intends to leave you with a changed impression of what rural Iowa and agriculture are all about.
