  FAITH, FARMS AND CLIMATE:
  Iowa Farmers Helping Solve Our
          Climate Crisis:
 Matt Russell, Executive Director of Iowa
Interfaith Power and Light and a 5th
generation Iowa farmer, will lead farmers
and farmland owners in a discussion on
Wednesday, January 27 from 9:30-11:30
a.m. about how Iowa farms can provide
solutions     to   our     most    important
environmental challenges.
 Farmer innovation around clean energy,
reduced tillage, growing a wider variety of
crops, growing something all year such as
cover crops, and integrating livestock into
cropping systems will be vital to the next
agricultural revolution. The gathering will
be a Zoom Event, so registration will be
needed.
