Nominate an environmentally friendly farmer

Do you know a farmer who has been a leader in environmental stewardship on their farm, using a variety of techniques and best management practices that improve water quality and soil? Consider nominating them for the new Iowa Farm Environmental Leader Award. This award seeks to recognize farmers for their responsible choices and encourage others to build on their successes.

Nominations are open until June 30, and award recipients will be recognized at this year’s Iowa State Fair. Nomination forms are available at https://governor.iowa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/IA-Farm-Environmental-Leadership-Award-Nomination.pdf.
