Pioneers at Heart
Early days on the prairie.
Thousands of hopeful European pioneers flooded into the area to settle America’s newest frontier. Little did they know, they were walking into some of the world’s richest agricultural land, thanks to soil deposits left by a prehistoric ice age lake. Rooted in inconceivably humble beginnings stemmed a worldwide mecca for agricultural innovation.
Early settlers were not the only pioneers. Over the years, fiercely independent prairie dwellers applied their entrepreneurial spirit to create a new frontier of business and industry, including advanced manufacturing, research, technology, and health care.
Today, the nation’s best and brightest workers are flowing into the area to take advantage of booming business, job opportunities, and hotbeds of entrepreneurialism. They are becoming today’s prairie people.
