Although it is sometimes called the "Corn State," Iowa really is a
breadbasket for the U.S., with 90 percent of its land devoted to
farming. The main products are corn and hogs. Named for the Iowa
River, which was named for the Iowa, or Ioway, Indians, Iowa joined
the Union in 1846 as the 29th state. The wild rose is the state flower
and the capital is Des Moines.
