Our longtime subscribers know that Our Iowa is mostly written by its readers. For full-length articles, we pay an appropriate freelance fee. But many readers send us short items and pictures, and we want to show them our appreciation. 

To make this appreciation extra-special and unique, we decided to reward contributors with something heartfelt. We say "thank you" by sending a freshly baked pecan pie from an Amish farm kitchen, shipped directly to the contributor's door!
