Source: Erosion Control From drought to flood conditions, it seems there is no longer a normal growing season for Iowa farmers. A year of drought in 2012 was followed by a cool, wet spring this year. These types of weather extremes can be very damaging to Iowas soils, but conservationists are finding that farmers who apply soil health practices like cover crops are the least affected. read more
