IOWA'S STORY IS AMERICA'S

The Boston Globe | January 24, 2000| | Copyright

ORIENT Iowa _ Walk the land out back beyond the white clapboard house _ press your boots onto the corn and soybean fields that start where the dirt road ends _ and along with the chill winds you will feel the two elements that shaped modern Iowa: Isolation. Possibility.

Here, 55 miles southwest of the street corners of Des Moines, is the endless horizon that is Iowa's, and that stands as a metaphor for America, from pioneer days to the present. Here, an hour from the world of malls and machines, are some of the richest farmlands in the world, the source of Iowa's wealth, and of America's.
