Welcome to The South of Iowa

Hello everyone, and welcome to my blog, The South of Iowa. Here I will expound ("talk about" for those of you in Milo) on topics I find to be of interest. These may include Iowa politics, government, farm policy, local happenings, and other such events/statements.

The name is a play on the term "South of France", where the well healed go to bask in the warm Mediterranean sun and play with the wealthy foo-foo's. Here, in the South of Iowa, it does get hot, and the nearest beach is Lake Rathbun. So, we're not quite up to speed with France, but that's OK - I don't care to hang around with foo-foo's anyway.

Thanks, and come again.
