Case New Holland says it will close its Burlington plant by the middle of next year. Workers say it’s not because of money—which the company has plenty of—but because they want to break the union.

WATCH: Iowa’s economic crash out (PT 1) – Cornhole Champions #46

It’s easy to miss what’s happening in Iowa when you’re scrolling past headlines. GDP down 6.1% in Q1. Soybean markets shipped to Argentina. A $20 billion bailout that somehow bypassed the farmers who needed it most. But this isn’t just about tariffs or trade policy. It’s about who holds power in Iowa and who gets left behind.

On Cornhole Champions, host Zachary Oren Smith sat down with Chase Seibert and Liz Fleming to unpack the New York Times story everyone should be reading: how Trump’s economic policies hit Iowa harder than almost anywhere else in the country.

Toss some bags about Iowa’s economic woes… health insurance costs going up… and some reflection on a year of Cornhole Champions.

Cornhole Champions is a weekly politics and policy podcast powered by Iowa Starting Line, hosted by Zachary Oren Smith and produced by Rebecca Steinberg, with music by Avery Mossman and art by Desirée Tapia.
