The leadership at the Agribusiness Association of Iowa (AAI) would like to know if you have any specific concerns about how the COVID-19 response is affecting your business. Please contact any of our AAI staff to share those ideas and concerns.

Until further notice, the AAI office is currently closed to visitors and all meetings have been re-scheduled as teleconferences. Phones are being answered during normal business hours to help service member needs, and AAI staff are available by email.
