Flamingos!! Get a Mudball in Mt. Vernon to Help Monarch Butterflies Flourish!!

RAGBRAI isn't just about riding your bike.  Watch this video to see how we RAGBRAI riders will have the opportunity to disperse these mudballs around the state to help grow the milkweed that can feed Monarch butterflies. 

These mudballs contain milkweed seed and fertilizer so that when they are thrown into gulleys and natural settings, they will germinate and begin to grow milkweed throughout the state.  Monarch butterflies will be drawn to these new food sources and hopefully return to Iowa in great numbers.
