Sunflower seed prices surge as winter nears

Lime Greek Farmers Volunteer for Cedar River Water Quality Project
About 60 percent of farmers in the Lime Creek watershed participate in a voluntary project led by the Cedar River coalition to cut nitrogen and phosphorus runoff by 45 percent and promote best management practices. Grants support soil and water improvements, while early nitrate reductions were recorded before recent increases likely tied to rainfall.
