Coverage of @iowadnr's impaired waters list by @erinfjordan @DonnelleE and others got us thinking about how funding the Natural Resources and Outdoor Recreation Trust Fund could help water and rural economies. The 2021 Farm Poll shows farmers are on board https://t.co/skRfLSuj7y

Thanks @ISUExtension for covering our new paper using @IowaFarmPoll data: farmer perspectives on extended crop rotations' benefits and barriers. Bottom line: extended rotations can increase resilience, but we need supportive policy https://t.co/vFsLaT37Fi @Soil_Plant_IXNs

Critical finding by Wesiberger et al. - The most significant barriers farmers perceive to extended crop rotations will require changes in policies and research priorities https://t.co/JVS8BykoUo @Soil_Plant_IXNs @IowaFarmPoll @AgCCHANGE

Nice to see this @IowaFarmPoll research on extended rotations get published! Iowa farmers perceive lots of benefits, but structural barriers (e.g., lack of markets) need to be addressed.
