What happens when three Iowa farmers decide it’s time to shake things up in the world of agriculture and water quality? The Lobe Rangers happen.
Matt Bormann, James Hepp, and Zack Smith are making waves with bold conservation messaging, real talk about Iowa’s water crisis, and a call for action upstream.
Join the Iowa Environmental Council and Des Moines Water Works for an engaging, sometimes provocative, and always honest conversation with The Lobe Rangers about farming, conservation, water quality, and how we can all move Iowa forward. The evening will bring rural and urban Iowans together around something we all share: the water that connects us.
You'll have a chance to ask The Lobe Rangers your toughest water quality and farming questions and learn about the conservation practices they use to improve the water leaving their farmland.
This event is free and open to the public; however, your RSVP is appreciated.
Social time and appetizers start at 5:30 p.m., and the program begins at 6:00 p.m.
