Water quality is back in the headlines, and this week Bill and James dig into why.
The guys discuss the latest nitrate news, how water quality has become a major issue in Iowa’s governor’s race, and what the Farm to Faucet cost-share program could mean for farmers. They also talk about stacking conservation incentives, whether today’s programs are too complicated, and how they’d redesign conservation policy if given the chance.
As always, the conversation doesn’t stay on track for long. Along the way you’ll hear stories about broken farm equipment, interactions with their dads, a look back at Iowa Cover Crop’s early meeting notes, and the announcement of a couple of new podcast sponsors.
Whether you’re interested in cover crops, conservation, or the future of Iowa agriculture, pull up a chair and join the conversation.
