The Heartland Gazette

A Digest of Time, Culture & Craft

A Farmer's Almanac

From the Missouri River to the Mississippi, the great state of Iowa operates entirely on Central Time (CT). This statewide consistency is a blessing for agriculture, business, and travel across its rolling hills and prairies. Like most of the Midwest, Iowa observes Daylight Saving Time, shifting from Central Standard Time (CST, UTC-6) to Central Daylight Time (CDT, UTC-5) in the summer. This clock keeps track of those changes automatically, giving you reliable time from seed to harvest.
