My Grandfather's farm was 80 acres (and actually he made most of his living hauling hogs and cattle. My kin that still farms has 800 acres and many are bigger. If it was just farms, the population would be like Wyoming.
It is a very literate state and plenty of tech and white collar jobs in Des Moines, Cedar Rapids-Iowa City, and Dubuque. Farm manufacturing in Waterloo and the Quad Cities.
Rural areas have had to deal with their share of meth heads. Tom Arnold's sister was once the drug kingpin of southern Iowa/North Missouri. All in all still a fine place even if the food is bland and the music non-existent.
