Registration required by visiting bit.ly/winterlearning2024 (all ages) Interested in the truth about the Midwest's water quality? Concentrating both cropland and livestock has created efficiencies in production, transportation, fertilization and accumulated wealth for a lucky few. The immensity of this production has come at a cost, particularly in the state of Iowa: soil erosion, the loss of wildlife habitat, a lack of public parks and recreation areas, foul air from animal waste and especially degraded water. Dr. Jones will discuss his finding as an analytical chemist and policy advocate to help us learn how to conserve our water quality here in Missouri and beyond. Led by research engineer/author Chis Jones.
