A wetland’s role on the farm

September 24, 2026

What if your unproductive and oversaturated ground could become an asset for your farm?

On this episode of Pods of Potential, past ISA President Tom Adam and his son Eric Adam join ISA Conservation Services Manager Alex Buseman to discuss the value of wetland restoration. The episode begins with a look back at Tom’s year as president, including the accomplishments he is most proud of.

The father-son duo then shares why conservation is an important part of their operation and how a wetland restoration project will benefit their Keokuk County farm. Discover how a wetland can mitigate flooding, enhance water quality and support native wildlife. 

The Iowa Agribusiness Radio Network presents Pods of Potential with host Mark Magnuson. This episode is partially funded by the soybean checkoff and delivers data-driven research and results to help Iowa's soybean farmers maximize productivity, profitability and sustainability.
