Iowa is home to thousands of small businesses that give our communities their character. This July, we celebrate the independent retailers who invest in their neighbors, support local families, and keep Iowa's economy strong from the ground up.

250 years ago, a bold idea changed the world. Since then, generations of Americans have protected the freedoms that define our nation, including the right to vote. What a privilege it is to be part of America’s story. Happy Independence Day, Iowa, and happy 250th birthday, USA!

July is corn month! When most people think of corn, they think of farming. But Iowa's corn industry supports businesses in nearly every corner of our economy, creating opportunities for entrepreneurs and helping Iowa remain a leader in agriculture and innovation. #CornMonth
