DES MOINES, Iowa (RFD News) — The Iowa Soybean Association and Heartland Co-op are working together to help more farmers adopt conservation practices that improve soil health, water quality and long-term productivity.
Through the partnership, conservation agronomists work directly with producers to identify practices that fit their operations while improving efficiency and protecting natural resources.
The organizations say conservation can benefit both farmers and the environment, adding that public and private cost-share programs can help producers get started.
