      It sure looks like you were getting a good yield out there. The rich green grass in the wash-a-ways show that rain was good in this area.

    Mike- at 2:04 you mentioned the grass strip waterways- and the benefit they have for reducing erosion. They are also very important for capturing nitrogen fertilizer from farm "run-off" of nitrogen fertilizer- preventing it from goin into the Mississippi River and ultimately the Gulf of Mexico. These farmers are responsible environmentalists! Love your channel and love Eastern Iowa- beautiful part of the world- the people and the landscape- amazing.! (Actually- this is the "flatter" part of Eastern Iowa- get closer to the Mississippi for some amazing landscapes- Iowa meets Sweden).

    Love the rolling terrain, the way they farm such rolling ground and the explanation of the water ways. Great job showing all terrain through all the different camera angles. We had some water ways and wider field edges around creek beds on our farm, we had pride in our conservation efforts of the topsoil, even planting trees where the terrain and soil wasn’t the best. Love to see more like this!

Some of them travelled the whole way back again after a few years.

    Trivia: Loess is the name of the geological whatever you call it from the Glacier periods in Iowa and Siberia Russia. The Loess Hills are essentially snow drifts of dirt formed on the edges of Ice Glaciers. End Trivia. They can bee seen along the Missouri River valley Betweem Missouri Valley (US Hwy 30) and Sioux City (US Hwy 20) of course the actual distance is longer than that

    • @markiowa5437
      @markiowa5437 4 года назад +1

      Those grass strips also absorb a lot of nitrogen fertilizer run off- so it doesn't pollute the gulf of Mexico via the nearby Mississippi River. Those strips save soil erosion and reduce water pollution and they are widely used these days on hilly landscapes. Your question is a very good one- I hope this helps answer. regards, mark.
