What does tile monitoring say about water quality?

May 28, 2026

Farmers across Iowa are turning to water monitoring to evaluate nutrient efficiency and enhance water quality. In this episode of Pods of Potential, Iowa Soybean Association Water Lab Service Manager Tony Seeman and Heartland Co-op Strategic Partnership Coordinator Thomas Fawcett discuss how water monitoring helps farmers determine if current management practices are effective and identify conservation practices that may reduce nutrient loss.

Explore how Iowa farmers, commodity groups and ag retailers are working together through Agriculture’s Clean Water Alliance to enhance water quality across the state using water monitoring results.

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.
