NICC Demonstration Promotes Conservation on Farm and Campus
NICC and the Northeast Iowa Community-Based Dairy Foundation lead a 13 site Iowa Water Quality Initiative project. The effort rewires tillage to rye cover crops, injects dairy manure, and reshapes NICC Calmar campus with ponds, bioswales, and a wetland to slow runoff. The 75 000 acre demonstration spans 400 landowners with 60 dollar per acre cost share for no till and cover crops.

Cedar Rapids and Iowa City plan moving to semester start dates
Cedar Rapids and Iowa City districts debate earlier start dates as they shift from trimesters to semesters. The Cedar Rapids board approved a 2015-16 calendar with Aug 26 start and Aug 17 for 2016, while Iowa City weighs two options to align with state guidance. Officials warn early starts disrupt families and sports scheduling, with waivers considered case by case. Governor Branstad criticizes very early starts and urges districts to adjust.
