Abstract
A farm just outside the north-central Iowa town is home to Iowa State University’s Agriculture Drainage Research and Demonstration Site, a facility that has been working to further Iowa State University’s water conservation efforts since 1990. The site was born out of the Iowa Groundwater Protection Act, a piece of legislation passed in 1987 that generated funds from fees on pesticide manufacturing registrations, pesticide dealer licensing and a tax on fertilizer sales. A portion of the funds were used to create the 11-acre research site, with Iowa State University partnering with the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and the Pocahontas County Soil and Water Conservation District.
