Iowa's soil problem roots in low legume crops across counties
Census figures show only seven and a half acres per 100 on improved Iowa land is in leguminous crops like alfalfa and clover. Adair Cass Madison Ringgold Union and Wayne counties have under three percent. No county meets the desirable 25 percent.
