In 32 out of 43 elections, Iowa has voted for the winning presidential
candidate. Therefore, Iowa has given its electoral votes to the winning
president about 70% of the time and would be a fairly reliable source for
predicting the outcome of the next presidential election.

Iowa Caucus Satistics
'Tall Corn State'
Corn and corn components can be found in thousands
of products including cleansers, cosmetics, drugs,
and food. Beyond food and consumer product uses,
corn is replacing petroleum in industrial
applications from plastic containers to ethanol.
Because corn products are a biodegradable and
renewable resource, they're better for the
environment than their petroleum counterparts.
According to 2005-2006 USDA Industry Statistics,
Iowa's corn crop is used for the following:
'Animal Feed'
Livestock in Iowa consumed about 550 million
bushels of corn: 53% for hogs, 29% for beef cattle,
12% for poultry, and 5% for dairy cattle.
'Exports'
750 million bushels from Iowas crop left the state.
More than 55% went to foreign markets including
Algeria, Canada, Colombia, the Dominican Republic,
Egypt, Israel, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, and
Taiwan.
'Corn Sweeteners'
755 million bushels of Iowa's crop were refined
into corn sweeteners used in products such as
candy, cola, ice cream, jelly, lunch meat, and
salad dressing.
'Ethanol'
Iowa's growing ethanol industry used about 450
million bushels of corn. The corn is fermented into
fuel alcohol, which makes gasoline burn cleaner,
reducing air pollution and eliminating water
pollution. By replacing gasoline, our need for
petroleum, which isn't renewable, is reduced.
'Other Uses'
275 million bushels were processed into starch for
food and industrial uses such as paper, textiles,
adhesives, plastics, baked goods, and soups; 190
million bushels became cereal, chips, tortillas,
and other corn foods; and 135 million bushels were
fermented into alcoholic beverages.
