What do you miss/appreciate about Iowa?

I legitimately feel bad by people who are so overwhelmed/blinded by bad politics that they can't see the staggering amount of positive things happening here. It's sad, but it seems to be a reflection of our current reality.

I live and work in Texas used to live in Cali....... I can tell a large difference in the amount of basic education people have. I went to school in Iowa from 90s- 00s... Didn't know it at the time but my god our education system must be miles ahead of the other states.
I’ve said before that you live in a unique area of Iowa. Okoboji is another rural, uniquely good area. I do envy your lack of crowds at outdoor activities.

Big agree on this one. I just laugh when OH people talk about how great their sweet corn is lol. Goes along with the meat as well.
Iowa beef, pork, and sweet corn is on another level, but you only know if you know.
Scenes similar to this leaving Omaha and going east on I-80. Only more picturesque (i.e. dew on the soybean fields at sunrise).

A large % of my friends from ISU were from Okoboji and I've spent a lot of time there. I also have family friends from the Kalona area, which is really well off too. So I have spent a lot of time in unique, disparate parts of rural Iowa that are doing fairly well.
I’m still in Iowa but if I moved:
Sweet corn
AE french onion dip
Iowa pork chops and beef
local restaurants and breweries
Yeah mostly just the good local food.

That's a nice scene
The 10 days a year where the weather doesn't suck.
Seriously, Fall weather is great. Also the years where we do get a white Christmas, I love it. Low cost of living and lack of bad traffic are nice too.

When I return to my home town, I still get a sense of peace every time I get about 10-15 miles away. Open spaces with rolling hills are therapeutic.
Also, Iowa chops and sweet corn.
