So, Iowa has made its winding way to the front page of every major news media. Who would have thought the quiet corn fields could have catapulted us to fame that quickly? There are a few things that will stir the hornet’s nest, like the combination of politics, education, and guns. Yikes.

It’s hard to know what to think these days. On one hand you have farmers on the news, along with John Deere crying foul on the tariffs. Not to mention the recent John Deere layoffs, just another addition to their never ending quest to trim the proverbial fat. But, then you take a little drive to one of the many expanding Des Moines suburbs, pick a direction; Ankeny, Waukee, West Des Moines, Altoona. What do you see?
Never ending housing develops seemly springing up out of fields like its the new corn.
