You say you live in rural Iowa. Just a long shot, but are you close to SE Iowa , Burlington area? I have extra fabric that I'd rather have the space it's taking than the fabric. Not really interested in making any $ from it. PM me if interested.

Just for reference, I think 100% quilting weight cotton fabric runs around 4.5 - 6 ounces per yard. I use that when I try to decide if a scrap bag is a deal (shipping is always a factor). My LQS has a scrapfest once or twice a year and charges $16 a pound. No shipping fees helps (buy local when possible!). : )

Your LQS might not sell scrap bags but you could ask if they might know of a customer that might have some they would like to sell or trade. Also if your grocery store has a free info board for customers to post notices you could put up a card stating you are looking for scraps.
Also check out the local thrift stores. These items are often donated. I have even purchased some garments as a source for stash fabrics.
Good Luck!

Speaking of that typo....
in my shop we used to sell small brown bags of scrap yardage - about 4 yds. We folded the top down, stapled on a label that said CHEAP S.E.X. $5, and placed them in a barrel near the check out desk. In small print we also wrote S.E.X. = Stash Enhancement eXperience. The customers, in general, loved them, often buying them several at a time!
