The Richest Man In Iowa

I've always wondered who the richest person in Iowa is. Even though we are heavily relied upon in the agriculture industry, I was certain it was someone in the tech world.  I was wrong.

Forbes just came out with the richest people in each state. I had no idea there was this kind of money in this state. I was also very surprised and pleased that it was someone I think we can all respect. Seems he has the same Iowa Values that we all strive to inherit by living here. He's married, has 4 kids, drives a pickup to work and is a self made...BILLIONAIRE. Yes, BILLIONAIRE!  He's worth $3.4 BILLION!

Harry Stine is his name and he's the founder and owner of Stine Seed in Adel, IA.

The best part is that he overcame what some of us would consider learning disabilities. He is Dyslexic and mildly autisic, but is crazy smart with math and data. The dude worked hard and made himself who he is today. I think we can all be proud of that.
