FMH is asking the Central Iowa area to join them in fighting childhood cancer by tuning into its 15th annual St. Baldrick’s Head Shaving Event on Tuesday, October 20 at 4:00 PM.

In mid-August a derecho windstorm swept through the Midwest causing significant damage to property and commodities in several states. The storm’s hurricane-force wind speeds, ranging from 80 to 120 miles per hour, covered a 700-mile path from eastern Nebraska over central Iowa, to parts of Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Michigan.

In 1895, FMH founder W.A. Rutledge brought together his colleagues in the mutual insurance industry and formed the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies (NAMIC). This organization continues to grow and serve as a valuable resource for mutual companies 125 years later. While members were looking forward to celebrating NAMIC’s 125th Annual Convention in person this year, like many other events, the celebration and gathering shifted to a virtual platform.

The Farm Progress Virtual Experience, or FPVX, combined this year’s Farm Progress Show and Husker Harvest days into a single, online show. From live-streamed field demonstrations to a variety of online breakout sessions, farmers and ag industry professionals could tune in and access the same information they look for every year – from the comfort of their home or office.

Food Bank of Iowa will receive over $232,000 to feed Iowans, thanks to a fundraiser held by FMH.
