Proud of Iowa!

Iowa corn farmers know that growing a great crop starts with taking care of the land beneath it.

It’s no secret that Iowa is #1 in corn production, but what you might not know is that our farmers are leading the nation in conservation practices, too.

From buffers and waterways to conservation tillage, water-quality wetlands, filter strips and pollinator habitat, Iowa farmers are putting conservation to work across the state.

Protecting our soil and water isn’t separate from farming…it’s part of growing a stronger future for Iowa agriculture.
