I was born and raised in Iowa. Lived in 4 different towns and hung out with the “farm kids”. Iowa is a beautiful place. Beautiful rural areas, progressive big cities, you can have it all, just have to look around.

I still have family there and when we visit, I get nostalgic and really do miss the rich, dark soil there. I do not miss the humidity and cold winters, though.

I highly encourage you to visit. If you can, drive all the way across. You will see many different landscapes. Despite much popular belief, most of Iowa is not flat!
