Farmer-led efforts 🧑🌾 have been impacted by a pause in the Climate-Smart Commodity Program.
Matched by funding from the private sector, funding is dedicated to building new markets and generating new revenue opportunities for farmers implementing practices improving soil 🌱 and water 💧quality.
Led by ISA and delivered through its subsidiary, the @OutcomesFund, the program supports farmers in 12 Midwest states, with the greatest participation from Iowa farmers. Learn more here ▶️ iasoybeans.com/newsroom/arti…

Of the top-12 teams on today's AP poll, eleven were rated in the preseason Top-25. Sixth-ranked Iowa State didn't even receive a vote. TJ Otzelberger should be a STRONG candidate for National Coach of the Year honors!

“It’s one of those things (where) I’ve been blessed to be here a long time. And the way these people have embraced me, my family, our players — it just doesn’t happen anywhere. I know it does some places, but not when it’s (well) below zero outside. It just doesn’t. Like I said, I’ve been here a long time and it’s like, ‘Oh, you should expect it.’ But I don’t and I don’t take it for granted, I promise you,” an emotional Bill Fennelly shared post-game.
