Iowa Leads in Farm Wealth and Production Across the Nation
Iowa's farms top national lists in value and output with Pottawattamie County alone rivaling several states. Plymouth Sioux and other counties exceed many states in farm value, while Iowa’s 1920 factory output, grain totals, and high per capita wealth underscore its agricultural and industrial heft. The state claims over twelve billion dollars in taxable wealth and vast railway access with 210,000 farms averaging 160 acres.
