Last week, I traveled with iowa_corn on a Corn Quest to learn where corn comes from, how it’s grown, what it’s used for along with the environmental and social impacts of farming in the United States.
.

Because iowapork is such a big part of Iowa farming, I made a recipe using pork to share today. It’s SO GOOD! This Easy Sausage Potato Soup has a few secret ingredients that give it a sweet and tangy taste. It’s one of my favorite soups for a cool fall evening or game day!
.

Visit my blog for this soup recipe and to read what I learned about GMO’s (it’s so interesting!), if you need to wash your meat before cooking and many other questions answered.

9 Quick Take-Aways from the Iowa Corn Quest Tour
.

1. Only 1% of corn is grown for humans (sweet corn). The rest of the corn grown in the United States is field corn used for animal feed and ethanol.

2. Today’s farmer is becoming fewer, but making higher quality products than ever before.

3. Farmers work with a lot of experts such as nutritionists, agronomists and vets so their products can be the absolute best.

4. Farming stewardship is getting better every year.

5. Our food is very safe. The U.S. regulations are very strict.

6. Organic and conventional food in the United States is very similar. Whatever you choose to buy for your family is okay.

7. Air quality in the U.S. has improved significantly over the last 50 years. There are less air toxins now than ever before!

8. Vehicles are the main cause of air pollution in the United States, not cattle. 
9. Iowa is the number one pork producing state in the U.S. .
