Connerly provides a detailed description of Iowa's history from a prairie state to a prominently productive agricultural state. He summarizes the evolution of Iowa's ag industry, and its impact on the vibrancy of Iowa's people, communities, and environment. Connerly provides thought-provoking suggestions for how Iowa can create solutions for crises it is facing. --Sally Worley, executive director, Practical Farmers of Iowa Rural population loss, an eroding natural environment, fewer union jobs, and a lack of racial diversity affect Iowa's economic future. Dr. Connerly's book shows how Iowa can reverse these trends to create good jobs with a green and sustainable economic future. --David Osterberg, cofounder, The Iowa Policy Project Chuck Connerly's book is a clear, concise explanation of the forces shaping Iowa's history and its critical debates today. It cuts through the political clutter and gives us a much-needed long view. Policymakers should put down their talking points and pick up this book. --Todd Dorman, columnist, The Gazette
