Iowa has lost 90% of its family farms in the past 40 years — 40,000 total farms, gone.

More Perfect Union’s mission is to build power for working people. Here’s what that means:

We report on the real struggles and challenges of the working class from a workingclass perspective, and we attempt to connect those problems to potential solutions.

We report on the abuses and wrongdoing of corporate power, and we seek to hold accountable the ultrarich who have too much power over America’s political and economic systems.

We're an independent, nonprofit newsroom. To support our work:
