...Mile after mile of corn growing, yes some urban areas ...but mostly corn & soybeans being grown on the land...not cow pastures and range as the map shows

That is what the land is used for...corn & soybeans....also a lot of storage places for???

......corn and soybeans If you drive today on Interstate 80 across Iowa, you will see lots of corn and soybeans starting to grow..Middle of May, short plants maybe a one or two feet tall..

You will not see a lot of cows and other creatures. Yes, some cows and horses but mainly stalks of
corn and soybeans mile after mile across the entire state. (some of the land is left alone every few years to let the ground regenerate the nutrition that is taken from the growing corn and soybeans.
