One Iowa County Could Produce Enough Food To Feed 6 Midwest States Empty One Iowa County Could Produce Enough Food To Feed 6 Midwest States

It doesn't take much land to produce enough vegetables to feed thousands of people. In this Iowa State University study, there is evidence indicating one Iowa county could potentially feed the populations of six Midwest states and be a boon to the economy by providing thousands of jobs and bringing in millions of dollars to the region: http://www.globegazette.com/news/local/article_19fba6ae-59c9-11df-b423-001cc4c002e0.html

This concept could be applied to almost any state in the Midwest. So what county will step forward to take up the challenge?
