BTW, where, in Iowa, can I find all yellow sweet corn? It seems like everyone is just selling the peaches and cream sweet corn. I do prefer the all yellow sweet corn, it's the best.

[@EmilyFarber]

Hmmm. Have you tried some local farmer’s markets? You would have several options from various vendors that way!

Lmao! We have like 4x as many pigs as people. You can definitely meet one :) hit up the state fair, or cattle congress.

Iowa is a conservative red state now thanks to the people electing our Great Governor Kim Reynolds who gave us constitutional carry and in November 2022 Iowans unanimously voted in favor of our state becoming A 2nd Amendment sanctuary state to be added to our states constitution and many other Conservative laws that's why I support Kim Reynolds

[@benjaminmatson1431]

Hello, i am looking to move to Iowa by April 2024 with my girlfriend with our 2 girls. One is 9 months, and the other is turning 7. We have been dping research to see where to go and have been seeing conflicting information. We are looking to rent somewhere by Des Moines or surrounding areas. Would love some more insight. We want to rent a house instead of apt but don't know if it would be difficult for us renting due to alot of the state being home owners.

[@EmilyFarber]

Hi. Thanks for the comment! You should be able to find a house to rent. There are typically a variety of housing options for rentals…depending upon budget, of course.

[@corytomlyano793]

We have good lot lizzards also!

[@richellea.1792]

Wow!

The world's largest truck stop! How cool! What a fun video idea.

[@EmilyFarber]

Lol! If you need to stop for gas, you might as well do it someplace interesting! 😁

[@sonnyhootman9811]

Great facts, but what makes them weird? I would note that something a little weirder might be Grant Wood's American Gothic painting doesn't show a farmer and his wife. The two people in the painting are Grant's sister and his dentist.

[@vilstef6988]

The lore of the painting is it's a farmer and his daughter.

[@miavlogs6653]

Is Alice, Iowa still considered a town?

[@Jellybeansatdusk]

It’s recognized by Linn County and people live there, so I’m gonna go with probably.

[@AldoSchmedack]

Thank God pigs don't vote, I don't want to be bacon... 😂 Nothing better than a BLT, pork tenderloin, sweet corn, ice cream, steaks, fried chicken, maidrites, etc... heck we have it all! I thought we also had not only the largest nickel but largest cast iron skillet... Also don't forget we produce a lot of yeast, maybe the most, in all of USA if not the world. And Quaker Oats and Capt Crunch and more made right here in river city. Lastly we produce more corn than all of Mexico, more soy than anyone else in USA, 1/3 of ALL US hogs, 1:5 of all US eggs, and highest graduation rate, 90%. And is also been ranked as the most American state by at least two groups on states. Various other things too...
