More than 2,000 students from nearly 70 schools across Iowa participated in There's A Pig In My Classroom in April 2022. The virtual field trip, live from inside pig barns at Fair Oaks Farms in Indiana, was presented by the Iowa Pork Producers Association, Iowa Agriculture Literacy Foundation, LEAP Foundation, and Indiana State Fairgrounds.

Participants learned:
