      HERE'S THE THING Iowa's naturally prairie, savannah, & marsh, not cornfields. The terraforming of Iowa into farmland is one of the greatest ecocides in human history which is saying a lot.https://twitter.com/ijlyttle/status/1348087050243878912 …

      So theoretically Star Trek's set in a post-scarcity world but Iowa's still "the corn place" listen. the worldbuilding implications of that are STAGGERING

      The magic replicator isn't a thing until the TNG era, in the TOS and earlier era (with young Kirk in the cornfield etc) they have "food synthesizers" that are just fancy food processors that still need to use actual ingredients

      This is established way back in classic Trek, The Trouble with Tribbles revolves around a shipment of a new hardier species of grain for farming new planets ("quadrotriticale")

          Corn's still a poor choice for this, in general and specifically in Iowa. The effort it takes to turn the plains into cornfields is huge when you could as easily grow switchgrass or something.
