Blog For Iowa 
Thanks, Blog for Iowa, for this announcement. I hope there will be less deference to Iowa industrial agriculture at the meeting than there was in the op-ed piece from the Harkin Institute in the REGISTER today. Yes, the op-ed was of course correct in saying that better public policies are needed. But the op-ed reference to “the best efforts of farmers around the state” was weirdly generous, given that the vast majority of Iowa farmers and landowners are demonstrably NOT giving their “best efforts” to conservation. The statistics are clear.
