"whenever you think of iron ore"
In the sentence "Whenever there is a bluegrass festival, dad goes along and takes his banjo," the subordinate clause is "whenever there is a bluegrass festival." This clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence and provides additional information about the circumstances under which dad goes to the festival.
"Whenver farmers grow crops" is the subordinate clause in the sentence. It cannot stand alone as a complete thought and provides additional information about the main clause.
A subordinate clause has a verb and another sentence within it.../././././././././.
Although there are many subordinate conjunctions, the most common are "and", "but", and "or". A subordinate conjunction connects a subordinate clause (a clause that cannot stand alone as a sentence) to a main clause (a complete sentence).
A main clause = it is independent, i.e. it does not depend on any other sentence. A subordinate clause = a sentence depending on/subordinated to a another sentence, either a main clause or another subordinate clause. (you ask the main clause a question and you answer with the subordinate). e.g. "Can you tell me/ (the main clause) when the book was written?" ( the subordinate clause = a Direct Object). or "This is the book/ that I told you about". (the second clause is an Attributive or a Relative Clause). or If she had know this, / she wouldn't have trusted him." (the first sentence is an If Clause or a Conditional).
To identify the sentence with the subordinate clause underlined, please provide the sentences you're referring to. Once you do, I can help you determine which one contains the subordinate clause.
