The next decade of the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy is starting off strong thanks, in part, to the Batch & Build approach to adding edge-of-field water quality practices in spots where they'll have the greatest impact. Learn more: iowanrs10.com/stories/batch-…

Nearly 200 seed corn growers signed up for cost-share funding in 2022, representing over 41,000 acres. Cost share was provided through @IADeptAg's Water Quality Initiative (WQI), which helped leverage significant producer funding. sustainableseedcorn.org #IowaAg #CleanWaterIowa

@IADeptAg, @IowaStateU and @iowadnr, the three principals of the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy, today jointly announced online dashboards that report results of the strategy have been updated and indicate water quality progress. #CleanWaterIowa iowaagriculture.gov/news/updated-i…

ROI is a key factor in how farmers run their operations, as is long-term sustainability. Recently, many farmers have found that adding conservation practices has both helped their bottom line AND reduced soil/nutrient loss! Learn how⬇️ iowanrs10.com/stories/farmer… #iowadefiningdecade

We’re about to go live at Tim Recker’s farm for today’s @BigShowFarm Clean Water in Iowa Starts Here broadcast! Tune in as we recognize the #iowadefiningdecade and learn about the conservation practices Tim is using to improve water quality and soil health (like this wetland!)

THIS FRIDAY we'll kick off our Defining Decade Field Day series at Tim Recker's farm in Arlington. We'll talk cover crops, no-till, precision nutrient application, & wetland restorations. Bring the family and enjoy a tractor ride, too! buff.ly/3NnLktY #IowaDefiningDecade
