Also worth noting is their obsession with drainage tiles as an answer to storms.  Stating this "status quo" approach is a sure sign they don't like the writing on the wall.

Our legislative agenda should respond in the 2011 legislative session with the importance of basin-wide, urban/rural responses to the 100 year floods that seem to be arriving every couple years.  We must ReCOVER Iowa with alternative and perennial  crops.
