DUBUQUE, Iowa - Farmers in northeast Iowa are giving leadership to improving the quality of water flowing from their watersheds. Scientific measurements help them better understand water impairments; research is helping them determine actions that will improve quality of water moving through the watershed.
Chad Ingels, a watershed specialist for Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, helps farmers organize and secure funding for watershed groups. He also provides technical expertise and education on agronomic practices and environmental performance measures the farmers want to implement. What he doesn't do is tell them what to do.
