Iowa State University Extension and Outreach is launching a new program to help Iowa landowners incorporate soil health principles into their farmland. Landowners will have the opportunity to learn in small groups from ISU experts on conservation, agronomy, and financial and legal topics, as well as from each other.
The program will distribute landowners into learning cohorts based on their awareness, needs, and perceived motivations and barriers to conservation practice adoption. Each cohort will attend six in-person educational events between June and August 2024, focused on conservation practices, leasing and taxation implications, as well as communication strategies for the key influencers in their life.
The deadline to apply is April 19, 2024. The program is for landowners whose land is primarily dedicated to row crops, and Landowners with land in the Des Moines River Watershed will be prioritized.
