Cedar Rapids Gazette: Iowa’s county conservation district commissioners, many of whom are farmers, want the Iowa Legislature to pass a law against planting crops within 30 feet of streams. The Conservation Districts of Iowa isn’t the first group to push for a buffer law to improve water quality, but it’s the first time a group made up mainly of farmers and retired farmers has advocated for something more stringent than voluntary actions for agricultural producers.
