The Iowa Farm Bureau's policy conference reversed itself Wednesday morning.
After lengthy debate and a multitude of motions, the group approved a
resolution stating that compliance with conservation programs not be a

compliance; however, eligibility for federal crop insurance should not be
subject to farm program conservation requirements
