Mike Naig proudly serves as
Iowa's Secretary of Agriculture.
Early in his life, Mike learned the value of hard work from his dad and uncle on their crop and livestock farm near Cylinder, Iowa. Mike has spent his entire career working in agriculture and is inspired by the passion and commitment of the hard working men and women who keep consumers around the globe fed and fueled. As the fourth generation from his family’s century farm, Mike understands rural Iowa and the importance of caring for the land while ensuring that Iowa farms provide a great living for farmers.
Mike and his wife Jaime have three boys: Mitch, Zach, and Joe. They are both members of the Zion Lutheran Church and are active within their community. Mike and Jaime spend as much time as possible on the Naig family century farm in Northwest Iowa, teaching their boys the lessons and values that come with being involved on a generational Iowa farm. Mike is a graduate of Buena Vista University in Storm Lake.
