I might have been an Iowa farmer myself if my mother hadn't left Sioux City for the Big City on the lake.  But it hasn't been that long since Iowa farmers were losing billions because of Covid.  I found this from 2020:

An Iowa State University center in a new report estimates that the COVID-19 pandemic will cost Iowa’s largest agricultural industries at least $6.3 billion per year.

Here’s a breakdown of the projected annual losses by the Center for Agricultural and Rural Development:

— Ethanol: $2.5 billion

— Hogs: $2.1 billion

— Corn: $788 million

— Fed cattle: $658 million

— Soybeans: $213 million

— Calves and feeder cattle: $34 million
