Northeast Iowa RC&D

We work with community members and leaders to develop great ideas, build partnerships, find funding and turn visionary ideas into reality.

[Northeast Iowa RC&D @NEIARCD]

This was a great day and showcased what partnership and local leadership can accomplish. We appreciate supporting partners like @IowaFloodCenter and @floodcoalition to help lift these projects!!!

Our recent visit to West Union, Iowa was featured in the Fayette County local paper! 👇

We were joined by local and state leaders to learn more about the town's watershed-level approach to flooding - including an AFC supported project that reduces flooding on working lands using relay cropping and also produces water quality benefits in the town. @FLOLOfarms @IowaFloodCenter @iahuntress @NEIARCD

"Flood policy is agricultural policy."

We recently brought together our partners at @IowaFloodCenter and @NEIARCD to talk with @thewaterloop on the benefits of multi-cropping in Northeast Iowa.

Here's more on our pilot project: https://t.co/ss1tNLF2Ig

We're looking back at some of the key projects we've worked on over the past 6 years. Here's a resource from our partners at @NEIARCD who we supports on an innovative multi-cropping project to reduce flooding on farmlands. https://t.co/x1t5rbYvC0

The power of partnerships!

[American Flood Coalition @floodcoalition]

It's clear that flooding affects agriculture. But regenerative agricultural practices can also help reduce the risk of flooding. 🌾

We brought together partners @NEIARCD, @IowaFloodCenter, and local Iowan farmers, including @FLOLOfarms for a project measuring how multi-cropping reduces flooding, increases farmers' profits, and improves soil health: https://t.co/iCKrW1IrNL

I joined the American Flood Coalition in Guthrie Center today to see some of their research being done right here in Iowa. They’re paving the way to help farmers adapt solutions, like multicropping, for flood reduction. Thanks for the tour!

[American Flood Coalition @floodcoalition]

Today, we’re in Iowa touring a local family farm in Guthrie Center - joined by #FederalChampion @ZachNunn, our partners at @NEIARCD, @IowaFloodCenter and local farmers.

We’re excited to support this project that explores multi cropping practices as a tool to reduce flooding! 🌾

Thanks for having us! Always great catching up with IFC and seeing all the amazing work you all do!

[American Flood Coalition @floodcoalition]

Join AFC's Yasmine Dyson and our partners Loran Steinlage of @FLOLOfarms and Ross Evelsizer of @NEIARCD for a conversation on how soil health can play a critical role in flood protection.

Thank you to @pasafarming for hosting this event! https://t.co/pjeO52aEPa

[Northeast Iowa RC&D @NEIARCD]

Good people recognized for doing good things!!! 👏👏👏

It was great to visit with Rod Marlatt from Fayette County Conservation, and Paul Berland and Ross Evelsizer from @NEIARCD during the @IowaFloodCenter Day at the Capitol.

Finished harvest on #RelayCrop plot #1! Brought 32bu rye earlier this summer and now 53bu/ac #Soybeans. Not amazing, but still much more profitable and better #SoilHealth gains than the 65bu/ac check strips of regular beans. #NeededMoreRain #ProfitOverYield 🌱🌱💸

SPECIAL REPORT: How farmers are adapting to a wetter climate. Special thanks for @FLOLOfarms for the great explanations and taking me around his farm, and @NEIARCD for the insight on how Iowa's millions of acres of land could be the best defense. #Iawx
