"Our yields here are typically 20-30% above the rest of the county and we would attribute a lot of that to the long-term effects of having a #covercrop" -Clay Mitchell, 5th generation farmer from Waterloo, IA. @SAREProgram https://t.co/G2p0VSI7C9

Hope everyone is staying cool out there. Today we certified several no-till/strip-till fields and visited the @HawkeyeCollege construction site of two bioretention cells. Great to see urban and rural conservation in action in Miller Creek and Middle Cedar watersheds.
