Landowners in Iowa make decisions about conservation practices based on factors like land ownership, farming type, and location. No-till and cover crops are used on a portion of Iowa farmland, with no-till being more common on leased land. Part-time farmers use no-till less on their own land compared to full-time farmers and renters. Landowners are willing to help tenants pay for cover crops but not extend rental agreements. Tax credits or deductions could motivate landowners to increase conservation practices on their land.
