  • Farm Support for Trump Remains Strong, Despite Trade Headwinds
    October 31, 2018 Volume 14, Number 42 Farm support for Trump remains strong, despite trade headwinds As farmers and ranchers prepare to head to the polls next week, their overall approval of President Donald Trump remains high, but they want the administration to focus more on exports and ending the trade war with China. “Selling more U.S. farm products overseas” and “protecting the country against terrorism” are two of the highest-rated issues. That’s according to a new nationwide Agri-Pulse poll of 600 farmers and ranchers, conducted by Aimpoint Research from Oct. 12-28. Respondents were representative of commercial farmers with gross farm incomes of at least $50,000. Farm size was evenly distributed; About 28 percent farm 500 acres or less, 23 percent till between 500 and 1,000 acres, 20 percent have 1,000 to 2,000 acres, and 28 percent farm more than 2,000 acres. About 79 percent of the farmers polled either approve or strongly approve of President Trump, compared to 19 percent who disapprove. Broken down by party, 92 percent of the GOP farmers approved of the way Trump is handling the nation’s top job, compared to 33 percent of the Democrats and 65 percent of the independents. Some 67 percent of the Democratic farmers polled – who represented about 12 percent of the total respondents – disapprove of Trump’s performance. Whether or not the president can transfer his high approval rating on the farm to congressional candidates during next week’s midterm elections remains to be seen. Farm country has voted overwhelmingly for Republican presidential candidates in recent years.

  • Chapter 7 — History and Constitution
    HISTORY AND THE CONSTITUTION Chapter 7 HISTORY AND THE CONSTITUTION 327 EARLY HISTORY OF IOWA By Dorothy Schwieder, Professor of History, Iowa State University Marquette and Joliet Find Iowa Lush and Green In the summer of 1673, French explorers Louis Joliet and Father Jacques Marquette traveled down the Mississippi River past the land that was to become the state of Iowa. The two explorers, along with their five crewmen, stepped ashore near where the Iowa River flowed into the Mississippi. It is believed that the 1673 voyage marked the first time that white people visited the region of Iowa. After surveying the surrounding area, the Frenchmen recorded in their journals that Iowa appeared lush, green, and fertile. For the next 300 years, thousands of white settlers would agree with these early visitors: Iowa was indeed lush and green; moreover, its soil was highly productive. In fact, much of the history of the Hawkeye State is inseparably intertwined with its agricultural productivity. Iowa stands today as one of the leading agricultural states in the nation, a fact foreshadowed by the observation of the early French explorers. The Indians Before 1673, however, the region had long been home to many Native Americans. Approximately 17 different Indian tribes had resided here at various times including the Ioway, Sauk, Mesquaki, Sioux, Potawatomi, Oto, and Missouri. The Potawatomi, Oto, and Missouri Indians had sold their land to the federal government by 1830 while the Sauk and Mesquaki remained in the Iowa region until 1845. The Santee Band of the Sioux was the last to negotiate a treaty with the federal government in 1851.
