You can now visit the official Iowa 250 tree on the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines. Iowa Ag Secretary Mike Naig was one of the people that planted the Bur Oak.
Naig was joined by Fair CEO Jeremy Parsons and 4H and FFA representatives to plant the tree.
You can see the 250 tree between the Riley stage and the Iowa State Fair administration building.
Naig says it’s fitting that the tree is at the Fair where agriculture is celebrated.
Naig says it is essential that we have a healthy, thriving agriculture in this country if we’re going to be successful for the next 250 years as well.
