Iowa Farm Bureau is forwarding some policy priorities they want delegates to consider at the American Farm Bureau Annual Convention. Iowa Farm Bureau President Craig Hill says one would keep crop insurance and conservation compliance separate.

He says another priority is making sure meat only comes from animals and not from lab, cell cultured or plant-based sources and that it is labeled as such.

Hill says they also want delegates to push for implementation of the 2018 farm bill.

The annual meeting runs January 11 through the 16 in New Orleans.
