What’s in it
AI summary Iowa's Department of Agriculture and Iowa State University will work together to create a system that tracks how healthy the state's soil is for plants and animals. They will collaborate with landowners to measure and study soil quality across the state. Every two years, these groups must give a report to the governor and the legislature about what they found and what they recommend doing next.1
Read the official explanation
This bill requires the division of soil conservation and water quality of the department of agriculture and land stewardship, in cooperation with the Iowa nutrient research center associated with Iowa state university of science and technology, to establish a statewide soil resource health and recovery monitoring system in order to measure, analyze, and track soil health regarding the continued capacity of this state’s soils to permanently sustain plant and animal life. The division and center must collaborate with participating landowners. The division and center must submit a report to the governor and general assembly every two years, beginning December 13, 2023, that summarizes the division’s activities, findings, and recommendations.
