MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) - The Region Nine Development Commission is awarded thousands of dollars to support local foods and underserved farmers in the nine-county area.
The more than $290,000 grant comes from the Natural Resource Conservation Service. The grant is expected to provide starter farming plots and training about sustainable soil health to new farmers, along with scholarship opportunities for attending conferences and additional training.
The funds will also help as Region Nine partners with local restaurants for weekly Farm to Table Days, increasing awareness about farm retail sites and eco-system benefits.

Special to the Iowa City Press-Citizen
Iowa’s 2nd District U.S. Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks recently co-authored with Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.) a letter to the Des Moines Register that focused on an issue ostensibly important to Iowa’s water: the Trump Administration’s Navigable Waters Protection Rule (NWPR), which replaced the Obama Administration’s hated (by agriculture concerns) Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) rule.
Following the time-tested strategy of tossing red herrings into our polluted lakes and streams, Miller-Meeks would have us believe that the long arm of the federal government will only interfere with and complicate the good-faith efforts of Iowa agriculture to give Iowans the long-promised holy grail of clean water.

A new interdisciplinary study led by University of Wyoming researchers brings together approaches from ecology, economics and law to explore emerging big-game migration corridor conservation strategies meant to protect the phenomenon of migration across vast and complex landscapes.
The research was published in the Duke Environmental Law & Policy Forum under the title “Where the Deer and the Antelope Play: Conserving Big Game Migrations as an Endangered Phenomena” and can be found for free online at https://scholarship.law.duke.edu/delpf/vol31/iss1/2/.
The law review article provides detailed information about migration ecology and economic principles relevant to conserving migrations, before examining the successes and shortcomings of existing legal and policy efforts. Finally, the paper outlines a potential future legal approach with promise to both meet the biological needs
