The fallacy of bucolic family farms and “Iowa Nice,” is thankfully finally being challenged. We’re a multi national excavation site, much like strip coal mining states where toxic waste and residue is considered the norm, the cost of doing business.

Once, the proud example of civil liberties and unalienable rights, we’ve become a pariah of discrimination and bigotry. We’re nice enough but only if you pass the profile test of race, religion, gender and partisanship.

Neighbors but always acting like we are worlds apart, as a Nebraskan this all rings true here too (maybe heavier on Beef than Pork, but regardless).

Us prairie States need to start cultivating a well-rounded food system again!

The problem is we aren't growing food we are running factories.
