Environmentalists, policy makers and farmers are gathering in the Quad Cities this morning for the start of a three-day conference on soil and water conservation.

He says they hope to get a good look at the current conditions facing Iowa.Zimprich is president of the Iowa chapter of the Soil and Water Conservation Society. He says speakers will include officials from the federal E-P-A, the U-S-D-A and the National Corn Growers Association.Zimprich says this year’s theme is “The Changing Faces of Conservation and Agriculture: The Future of Working Lands.” He says it’ll present a chance for people to examine issues that are affecting the Upper Mississippi River Basin.
