On August 16, 2025, Grassley posted about livestock at the fair: "Grand Champ Ram @ Iowa state fair https://t.co/LmYLhps29p". Later that day, he acknowledged those who contribute to the event's success by writing, "Thx to all the volunteers who make our state fair the best in the world https://t.co/GGjk2tLE38".

Continuing his tradition of agricultural updates, Grassley provided an update on soybean development on August 17, 2025.

Soybeans are also one of Iowa's most important crops; regular updates from local leaders like Grassley highlight both the importance of agriculture to the state's economy and public interest in crop progress.
