A shout out to my Iowa folks who are Patreon supporters. Gael, I brought up Pella!

This was a fun one. I even drove up I-29 to Iowa and Nebraska to film, although I ended up not using much of that footage. I obviously know these two states very well and have been to both dozens of times. Well actually, I lived in Nebraska for nearly four years so there's that. Go Mavericks!

The next American Compared series will likely be Oklahoma and Texas, so stay tuned for that. Thank you for your continued support.

Cool! Can't wait to check it out!

I'm going to watch it now. Just an update about me: I lost my job at the college just after New Years. Was out of work for 7 weeks and just started a new job this past Monday at Pella Corp! (Pella windows of course) :-) I will miss the "video" time but glad to have the job!

Hey Matt great comparison video! Since I'm a new resident in Iowa, I learned so much. And I'm impressed about the Nebraska Forest! So much cool and interesting bits of info. I love that Iowa has so many pigs! (One of my favorite animals...) I plan to share this with a friend of mine that lives in Nebraska. Will be interesting to hear what he thinks. I wonder if the Iowa caucus has lost some of it's "clout" after the last presidential election. Seemed like there was some bad press. Of course that was before I moved here so next time I hope to see some of it first hand. Thanks for the video!!! Chocked full like all your comparison videos. :-)

Oh...and it was fun to see the clip from Field of Dreams with Kevin Costner. Classic! Nice video editing--and entertaining. More power to you!

Matt Beat

Thank you Gael! You'll find that rivalry with Nebraska is surprisingly pretty strong. And someday I shall also make a video about Field of Dreams :)

The real mysteries between these two states

1) how is Creighton University in the Big East.

2) How many Americans know that Iowa and Ohio are not the same state

Can't wait to watch this one. I used to live in Iowa before our family moved to Kansas.
