IOWA
Iowa is a U.S. state in the Midwestern United States, bordered by the Mississippi River the on the east and the Missouri River and the Big Sioux River on the west.
Surrounding states include Wisconsin and Illinois to the east, Missouri to the south, Nebraska and South Dakota to the west, and Minnesota to the north.
In colonial times, Iowa was a part of French Louisiana and Spanish Louisiana; its state flag is patterned after the flag of France. After the Louisiana Purchase, settlers laid the
foundation for an agriculture-based economy in the heart of the Corn Belt.

Iowa's climate is continental—northwest winds drive the mercury down below 0°F (- 18°C) in winter, and in the summer hot air masses bring oppressive heat; there are violent thunderstorms, hail, and occasional droughts. Floods have periodically inflicted great losses of life and property, necessitating control measures. In the devastating Midwestern flood of 1993 all 99 counties of Iowa were declared disaster areas.
Overall, the average annual rainfall in Iowa is 31 in. (78.7 cm), and, since most of this falls in summer, soil is often washed away. Iowans have had to fight erosion with modern plowing and planting practices, control of water flow, and reforestation. Still, Iowa has some of the most fertile agricultural land (about 70% of the state's area is cropland) in the world.
