Libertarians should be on the ballot in Iowa

Given the price of corn, pigs and beans, Iowa leadership should be doing something other than suppressing Libertarian candidates from being on the ballot. It could be that the Libertarians have some ideas that could be helpful to Iowa in the long run. Those who control our politicians seem to have tunnel vision.
Many of the young people that are still living here would prefer a healthier state. Now that food production is in the control of major monopolies from Koch Industries to Chinese WH Group, there should be an opening for alternatives to corn, beans, chickens and pork. Three percent of Iowans are farmers. It seems strange that agribusiness controls state government so completely. The consequences of that have been serious for our health and outdoor recreation. Now comes a CO2 pipeline.
