Iowa’s Nutrient Reduction Strategy is closely watched

Iowa’s voluntary Nutrient Reduction Strategy is being closely watched by farmers, environmental groups, politicians, government officials and others from all over the country.

The Iowa Agriculture Water Alliance (IAWA) was formed last year to help implement the the Nutrient Reduction Strategy. Sean McMahon, executive director of IAWA, says they’re working to “increase the pace and scale of that implementation”.

At the recent Iowa Soybean Association Research Conference in Ames, we asked McMahon to give us an update on those efforts.
