Iowa Ag Secretary Mike Naig has announced the appointment of Iowans to serve on the State Soil Conservation and Water Quality Committee.
The committee promotes the adoption of proven water quality practices and provides expert advice and input related to technical and financial assistance programs administered by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship.
The committee has existed since 1939, but a meeting held this week in Des Moines was the first since the Iowa Legislature modernized its mission, scope, and membership during the 2024 session.
One of the appointees to the committee is Dennis Carlson of Hampton, who is a farmer and tree farmer representative.
The committee will meet quarterly.
