Iowa faces persistent nitrate pollution linked to illness while Des Moines spends millions keeping levels under federal limits. Cedar Rapids nears the limit and lacks cleaning tech. Despite pressure from Farm Bureau and ag groups, Iowa leans on voluntary conservation tools that may cut yields and reduce field area.
