Iowa farmers juggle two crop year decisions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Iowa farmers will soon find themselves making ARC and PLC decisions for two different crop years at nearly the same time. As we reported Tuesday, USDA has opened an unusual enrollment period for the 2026 crop that runs through December 11. That signup was delayed as USDA worked to allocate 30 million additional base acres made eligible for the programs. Before that window closes, USDA will open enrollment for the 2027 crop, putting the two signup periods on top of one another for more than a mon

Heavy rains can put Iowa’s water quality challenges under a microscope. When water starts moving across farm fields, erosion and nutrient loss can become much easier to see. But those same conditions can also highlight the progress being made on farms where conservation practices are already in place. There is still work to do on water quality across Iowa, but that does not mean the work already being done should be overlooked. Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig says the state’s Nutrient Re
