SANBORNâIt took a second try, but 18-year-old Paige Dagel is proud to have been selected as a youth voice for Iowaâs pork industry.
On Jan. 28, Dagel was named one of two Youth Ambassadors by the Iowa Pork Producers Association. She joins the 2021 Iowa Pork Youth Leadership Team, which promotes the efforts of pork producers across the state.
