“This year we have findings from all three of our
research initiatives to share with Iowans,” said interim
director Jerry DeWitt. “We are looking at practical ways
that Iowans can raise and market their crops and
livestock in more economical, environmentally
sustainable ways.”
The Center’s research and demonstration efforts were
carried out on Iowa farms, at ISU’s outlying research
farms, and in urban and suburban areas of the state. The
report is edited by Leopold Center editor Mary Adams.
