Part 1: We talk to Art Cullen, in Iowa
Although Iowa is a major food processor and packer, the governor, and other officials are hiding from Covid, and refusing to lock down the state. However, demographics are changing, and young Latinos, many of whom are employed in the food processing business, are becoming increasingly more important. Democrats are doing well in the polls. Iowans are generally populists, in a spectrum from conservative and liberal.
