IARN — Bird flu (HPAI) has returned to Iowa this fall. This is much different than the outbreak in 2015, when we only saw an outbreak during the spring migration, that lasted until early summer. This year we are getting hit by the virus during both migration periods. The spread of the virus back into the state has led to IDALS taking strong precautions for the second time this year.
Iowa Agriculture Secretary Mike Naig talks about the situation we find ourselves in right now. He also shares concerns that this may not be the last time we have to deal with HPAI as we look to spring of 2023.
