The fall's agricultural bounty spreads across this canvas. Silos, corn bins and harvesting combines dot the broad landscape. Iowa's rich soil and productive climate produces food, especially those derived from corn and soybeans, to fulfill local appetites and needs, with most of the harvest exported to other states and countries. Can the land sustain this level of crop production and maintain an abundant harvest?
