Words such as “overwhelming” and “amazing” are used by agri-industry to describe the awe they hold at just over 1,000 Iowa farmers signing up to share in the $2.8 million 2013 Iowa Water Quality Initiative. These farmers agreed to install grass strips, improve wetlands and adopt other conservation practices with the state willing to share the cost. To those farmers, we offer our heartiest good wishes.

We had the misfortune to travel across northern Iowa on highway 3 last week, and it isn’t much good except to keep alignment shops open along the way.
Most of it is a rutted, bumpy cowpath that has deteriorated badly from neglect by our state. I hadn’t driven across it in several years and was surprised by its rundown condition.
