What if changing how we farm could cut flooding by 25%?
Data from Iowa shows that shifting from conventional farming to relay cropping slows runoff, keeps more water in the soil, and reduces chemical use.
"We know farmers using relay cropping are applying less synthetic fertilizer and cutting out pesticides and fungicides," says Ross Evelsizer.
The result? Less pollution, healthier soil, and real flood prevention.
