Here’s a little background on the trip to Iowa, Missouri and Illinois.
Iowa Public Television aired the speech by the president in Ottumwa. Here’s the link to that speech.
We’ve got a Market to Market crew that has been at many of the stops this week and will bring those to you in this week’s edition of the show as part of our Rural Economic Summit.
The president touted wind energy’s ability to generate power and jobs while in Iowa. During a trip to Missouri, the president visited the world’s top producer of ethanol to see how process works. So how does alternative energy fuel the rural economy?

Rural Economy; Northern Marshall County, Iowa, has been targeted to take grain land out of production, to build wind turbines with deep cement foundations and many graveled access lanes. The USA is already short on grain production; why should farmers surrender good soil for energy? It would be better to build an ethanol production, using the tall corn stalks in Central Iowa. Please stop building on agriculture grain land. It is costing tax payers to do it.
