There is so much to give thanks for in our beautiful state, and Thanksgiving Day is the perfect time to reflect on what we are thankful for. In fact, let’s go ahead and start with Iowa and a few of the reasons we’re thankful to be living in America’s Heartland:

1. The endless beauty of our state - from the fields, to the lakes, to the hills, and more.
