Ed farms approximately 800 acres across Washington, Burt, and Dodge counties. A no-
till farmer for more than 25 years, Ed employs cover crops, terraces, filter strips, and grassed
waterways to slow erosion, reduce run-off, and build soil health. An avid sportsman, Ed has also
invested in field borders, windbreaks, and pollinator plots to create habitat for local wildlife. He
has participated in federal cost-share programs including EQIP and CRP, as well as those
offered through organizations such as Practical Farmers of Iowa, his local NRD, Pheasants Forever, and Nebraska Game & Parks.
