In 1995 Iowa counties will see federal and state officials designate wetlands on farmland. Farmers including Story County’s David Frandson oppose the plan saying it can curb farming and income. Officials say wetland criteria will be reviewed with a nine member team using aerial maps after prior agency differences were resolved.
Officials will finish wetland inventories for 48 Iowa counties in 1995 with the remaining 51 mapped later. Greene Pocahontas Kossuth and Webster will have photo maps ready in early 1995 and move to the top of the list, counties listed in order of determinations.
