In this episode of Rush Hour Ag, Jeff Lucas Professional Rodeo Announcer and Rebekah Jones from the Iowa Agriculture Water Alliance break down Iowa's water quality challenges, farmer-led conservation efforts, and the launch of the new Conservation Compass—a one-stop resource designed to help farmers find, compare, and access conservation cost-share programs. The platform helps producers navigate funding opportunities, connect with experts, and make conservation decisions that fit their operation.

If you've ever wondered:
✅ Which conservation programs fit your farm?
✅ How to stack incentives and maximize funding?
✅ Where to start with cover crops, nutrient management, no-till, or other practices?
✅ How does conservation impact profitability and water quality?

This episode is packed with practical insights you can put to work today.

Elliott shares with Adam Steen what he’s hearing from teachers across Iowa...frustration over watching administrators continue to get paid more while classrooms are left behind.

Adam says he’s spoken with former teachers who became so fed up with the system that they walked away entirely. From endless rules and bureaucracy to money being spent on unnecessary layers above the classroom, they say it’s becoming harder and harder to actually teach kids.

The conversation then shifts to school choice, parental involvement, and whether competition could help fix a system many believe is losing focus on students and teachers alike.

Rob Sand for Iowa says farmers already understand that conservation and water quality matter; the real problem is politicians standing in the way.

Zach Lahn joins Rush Hour Ag for one of the most fired-up conversations yet, tackling the issues he believes are reshaping the future of Iowa. From farmers getting squeezed by the system, to outside investors buying up Iowa land, to the growing influence of Big Ag and Big Pharma, Zach doesn’t hold back.

Louie and Elliott sit down with Zach to discuss his four core priorities:

🌽 Free Iowa’s Farmers
🏥 Make Iowa Healthy Again
🌎 Keep Iowa Land in Iowa Hands
📚 Restore Our Education System

Are Iowa farmers truly being left behind? Should foreign ownership of farmland be banned? And who’s really benefiting from the current ag system?
