Robert Meade's father installed one of the first conservation practices in the Deer Creek, a tributary to the Clear Creek watershed in 1953. Today,
Meade is continuing his father's effort and working to save the soil and water for future generations.
Farming just west of Iowa City, Meade and his wife, Lee, raise cattle, corn and beans. Their sons farm nearby on
land that has been in the family since 1860.
"It's nice to see the ground farmed so it's able to be passed down," Meade said.
