Heinrich Family will receive “The Way We Live” award on Saturday at the Iowa State Fair

The Heinrich Family of Maquoketa is one of six families to win “The Way We Live” award this year at the Iowa State Fair.

As a large and diversified family farm operation, they are recognized for their deep passion for agriculture and family strength. Joe and Shelley Heinrich oversee the whole operation, but all of their entire family works hard on their respective farms and operations.

They are a family that embodies the Iowa Farm values, showing commitment to their land, livestock and communities. As such, they are one of the six families to be awarded at the Iowa State Fair this Saturday at 11:45am at the Ann and Bill Riley Stage.
