If you want to see how the state is advocating for many different areas of Iowa, the Empower Rural Iowa Task Force would be a good place to start. It is co-chaired by Iowa Lieutenant Governor Chris Cournoyer and aims to invest, grow, and connect rural America through many different programs and initiatives.

Important aspects of maintaining rural America are being monitored by the task force. From the internet or jobs to tackling food deserts, in order to have a thriving community for U.S. farmers and their families, their needs have to be met.
