Extractions: 12-3-2002ABOUT THE CEDAR RAPIDS DISTRICT Text Version Our Mission Statement The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is an independent federal agency established by Congress to assist, counsel, support and protect the interest of small business concerns and to assist them in their start-up and growth. We, at the Cedar Rapids District Office, are committed to excellence and working together with our resource partners to benefit small business in eastern Iowa. Geography and Demographics The Cedar Rapids District comprises the eastern third of the State of Iowa and is home to approximately 1.1 million (40%) of Iowa's 2.8 million residents and contains the following 29 of Iowa's 99 counties: Allamakee, Benton, Blackhawk, Bremer, Buchanan, Cedar, Chickasaw, Clayton, Clinton, Delaware, Des Moines, Dubuque, Fayette, Henry, Howard, Iowa, Jackson, Jefferson, Johnson, Jones, Keokuk, Lee, Linn, Louisa, Muscatine, Scott, Van Buren, Washington and Winneshiek. SBA Districts in Iowa Cedar Rapids (Population 110,000), is Iowa's second largest city and is the site of the local SBA district office. Iowa is divided north from south by the I-80 corridor which runs east to west through the center of the state. Historic data shows the majority of the state's population and economic growth occurs in counties on or near the I-80 corridor. Iowa's population has been relatively stable for the past 30 years, hovering around its current 2.8 million level. The 1990s saw modest economic recovery and low rates of unemployment (3.5%). However, the population is not expected to increase significantly, growing to approximately 3.0 million by 2010. Therefore, Iowa will rely primarily on its existing population for future business and economic growth. Shortages of qualified workers have pressured employers to increase wages in recent years. Nonetheless, Iowa wage rates remain competitive across the nation. Iowa has a reputation as an excellent state for doing business. Iowa enjoys relatively high rates of completion of formal education. Approximately 80% of Iowa's residents over 25 have completed high school. In the district, Clayton, Howard, Jackson, Muscatine and Van Buren counties have high school graduation rates of 75% or less. Only Johnson county has a high school graduation rate of more than 90%. Iowa's high school dropout rate is about 2½%. Approximately 18% of Iowa's residents have completed four or more years of college. Allamakee, Clayton, Howard, and Louisa counties have college completion rates of less than 10%. Jefferson, Johnson, Linn, and Scott counties have college completion rates of over 20%. Cedar River Waterfront View of downtown Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Geology Of The Loess Hills, Iowa
Geology of the Loess Hills, iowa. Many Americans think of iowa as having littletopographic variation. The Loess Hills of iowa are extremely fragile.
http://pubs.usgs.gov/info/loess/

Extractions: Geology of the Loess Hills, Iowa Many Americans think of Iowa as having little topographic variation. However, in westernmost Iowa the Loess Hills rise 200 feet above the flat plains forming a narrow band running north-south 200 miles along the Missouri River. The steep angles and sharp bluffs on the western side of the Loess Hills are in sharp contrast to the flat rectangular cropfields of the Missouri River flood plain. From the east, gently rolling hills blend into steep ridges. Loess (pronounced "luss"), is German for loose or crumbly. It is a gritty, lightweight, porous material composed of tightly packed grains of quartz, feldspar, mica, and other minerals. Loess is the source of most of our Nation's rich agricultural soils and is common in the U.S. and around the world. However, Iowa's Loess Hills are unusual because the layers of loess are extraordinarily thick, as much as 200 feet in some places. The extreme thickness of the loess layers and the intricately carved terrain of the Loess Hills make them a rare geologic feature. Shaanxi, China, is the only other location where loess layers are as deep and extensive. Though much older (2.5 million years) and much thicker (nearly 300 feet) than Iowa's loess, the Shaanxi loess hills have been greatly altered by both natural and human activity and no longer retain their original characteristics. Although early geologists assumed loess was either fluvial (deposited by a river) or lacustrine (formed in a lake), today we know that loess was eolian (deposited by the wind). During the Ice Age, glaciers advanced down into the mid-continent of North America, grinding underlying rock into a fine powderlike sediment called "glacial flour." As temperatures warmed, the glaciers melted and enormous amounts of water and sediment rushed down the Missouri River valley. The sediment was eventually deposited on flood plains downstream, creating huge mud flats.
