Iowa is bordered by two rivers - the Mississippi River which forms the entire eastern border, and the Missouri River which forms much of the western border. Possessing some of the richest farmland in the U.S., Iowa has always had an economy dominated by farming and has been known for its production of corn, hogs, and cattle. Iowa has a continental climate with hot, moist summers and cold, generally dry winters. Although most of the annual precipitation falls in the warm months, snowstorms and occasional blizzards occur during the winter.
Thunderstorms are common in summer.
