Letter should have been for 98 counties that have polluted rivers and unhealthy drinking water thanks to our foreign owned legislature who has over the last 24 years turned Iowa into a giant hog lot for foreign exports – not to mention the GMO corn that is only fit for ethanol because it also is tainted with do many drugs and pesticides you should not even feed it to farm animals as it will be present in your dairy products and the meat you eat – I don’t eat breakfast food any more and never felt better – Branstad ( China’s hand picked ambassador is not without blame and shame for what he accomplished for foreign governments at the expense of the citizens of Iowa. With his gov. pay and IPERS retirement he most likely makes more than the POTUS. Get these farmers out of our legislature in 2018. — Enough of their lies and deceit to OUR IOWA not foreign owned corporation/Government – IOWA 1st +MAGA !
