Cost share program expertise in person

IAWA staff has spent hours digging through cost share materials in order to put the Consevation Compass into action. No one has all the answers, but we do what we can to be the most up to date as possible on programs in Iowa. We also offer encouraging advice to farmers as they start their journey though conservation and conservation funding.

Presentations are typically 20-30 min, including questions.
