Quantum leap sought to cut farm nitrate pollution
Iowa farmers face a choice between regulation and voluntary action as the Des Moines Water Works plans a nitrate suit. Speakers at the Iowa Soybean Association conference urge a next generation approach under the Clean Water Act, emphasizing watershed progress and farmer independence. Cedar Rapids builds a regional effort with $4.3 million for five subwatersheds and plans to spend at least $20 million on Cedar River wastewater upgrades starting 2020.
