Hey, that's an unfair stereotype. Iowa is much more than corn.

There are soybeans too.


They must be hidden by the corn.


And, on that note, a lesser-known fact of little importance:

If you have an engine-out emergency, which field should you choose:
Corn or soybean?

Answer: Corn. Even if it's 9 feet tall, and the beans are only 9
inches tall, you should still choose the corn. The beans are intensely
intertwined, and tightly tangled -- and they will grab at your landing
gear and flip you. The corn might wreck your wings, but they won't
catch your gear.
