Tyson Foods recently secured a $60 million dollar USDA grant to help institute Climate-Smart practices in the countryside with Landus as a support partner, so Justin and Matt provide an overview of how this will help Landus' farmer-owners engage in even more environmental stewardship practices leading to improved water quality.

We say it often, 'Clean Water in Iowa Starts Here, no matter where 'here' is we all have a role to play' and Molly and Roger join Andy to discuss how that role includes waiting to apply fall anhydrous under the ACWA Code of Practice for Nitrogen Fertilization.

Molly and Heidi join Andy to provide an overview of carbon markets offerings and how those practices help improve water quality in Iowa.

It's a new program being rolled out by Landus, and investment fund that would help connect young conservation-minded farmers to capital who want to sustainably farm in the 21st century, with more details to come soon!
