TO GO WITH STORY by Camille CAMDESSUS, "DeSantis over Trump: these Iowa farmers made their choice"
Corn stalk bales sit in the snow at Lance Lillibridge’s farm on January 11, 2024, in Vinton, Iowa, where he grows corn, soybeans, alfalfa as well as raising Red Angus cattle. On his snowy Iowa farm, Lillibridge, 53, is carrying a calf, born just ten days ago. The calf's name? "DeSantis", a nod to the candidate he will choose on January 15, 2024, in the Iowa Caucus to face former US President Donald Trump in the kick-off to the Republican primaries. Lillibridge supported former President Trump in the last two US elections. (Photo by Jim WATSON / AFP)
