This is a terrible idea and perpetuates outdated stereotypes of Iowans for a cheap laugh. Our specialty is pigs, not cows.


For the curious: http://www.iowaagriculture.gov/quickfacts.asp

Corn value of production (2011 crop year) $14.5 billion

Soybeans value of production (2011 crop year) $5.50 billion

Cattle and calves, cash receipts (2011) $3.41 billion

Hogs, cash receipts (2011) $6.70 billion
