About the Expo

The annual Iowa Land Investment Expo, presented by Peoples Company, is catered to individuals who are either currently investing, or interested in learning more about investing in land throughout Iowa.

Held at the Sheraton West Des Moines, the Expo features keynote addresses by industry experts in agricultural production, land development, rural economic development and farm policy. The Expo is moderated by Ken Root, agricultural communications consultant and former National Association of Farm Broadcasters’ Farm Broadcaster of the Year.
