Iowa is commonly known as having some of the most fertile soil in the world. The state produces a mass amount of corn, oats, and soybeans every year.1 Aside from crop production, something many people don’t know is that 25% of the state’s electricity comes from wind power, due to the use of over 3200 wind turbines.2 It’s already the highest concentration of wind power so far in the country, but the state is working on increasing the use of wind power even more. It’s no wonder why soil and plant scientists, agricultural and food science technicians, and farm equipment mechanics are more commonly found jobs than in the rest of the U.S.3
When it comes to occupational safety and health administration in Iowa, it’s one of twenty-two states/territories that have OSHA-approved State Plans that cover both private and state and local government workers. Learn more about Iowa OSHA here.
