Trash or a research treasure? It turns out that toenails can be both. To better understand the chemical exposures affecting farmers and ways to improve their health, one @uiowa student is collecting toenail samples from Iowa growers.

Iowa farmers, get out your toenail clippers! Anna Proctor, a University of Iowa Ph.D. student, is collecting samples for a study she will conduct later this year using Iowa farmers’ toenails to...

Heavy rains and periods of drought are forcing farmers to constantly adapt their operations and their land. Converting just 10% of farmland to prairie strips has yielded staggering results for Midwest farmers, reducing runoff and erosion by up to 95%.

In 2019, Jeff Siewicki was a pharmacist who never planned to become a farmer. His plan was to create a 25’ x 25’ garden for personal use near his home

One of my favorite parts of #FarmSafetyWeek is bringing youth closer to #agriculture in their own communities. Students can gain so much from hands-on learning about their local ecosystems and how people play a key role in shaping them.
