Congratulations!
I do like this poem, except for one phrase. "Native grasses wait to ambush innocent crops" is so opposite to what actually happens on the Iowa landscape, both now and in the past, that the image doesn't work for me. But very possibly I am missing intended irony.
Excellent images and the connection to self makes me reflect.
