(Ames, IA) — Beef producers in Iowa and New York are in the midst of a burger battle. Kylie Peterson, the spokeswoman for the Iowa Beef Industry Council, says it’s “just a fun way to put together two states that have a similar goal and that is to promote beef.” Over the past few months, Iowans got the chance to vote on their favorite burgers, as did New Yorkers. The winners of the respective state contests are now going head-to-head, or bun-to-bun. Peterson says there’s no prize involved, just “bragging rights.” The contest ends tonight (Monday) and Iowans can vote on the website I-A-beef-dot-org.
