Following up on that, we’ll release the downloadable report, with full analysis, on Dec. 27, 2012. To make sure you get your copy, sign up for our Rural Small Biz Trends Newsletter. There is no charge.

You are right – it is important to know our own numbers! We just got the Iowa numbers yesterday, I posted them in my blog at http://www.needalitleadvice.com Happy news indeed!
