    Red State Iowa? Have they tried making it ILLEGAL to Mention Cancer while Giving Cancer Causing Corporations MORE Tax Dollars? That MIGHT Work!

        100% true but farms dump a shit load of chemicals into the ground. People never think about that. Concrete or plastic factory is a no brainer.
