As the world population grows, the need for food, fiber, and fuel will increase. Farmers are in a unique position to provide these resources and to serve as the stewards of the fresh water on the planet. However, currently farmers in the United States do not uniformly understand the role their practices have on water quality and therefore are not taking action to address the impacts their practices have had, and continue to have, on surface water and groundwater. Hewitt Creek Watershed farmers in northeast Iowa have demonstrated that it is possible for farmers to come together to address water and soil quality issues and while remaining profitable. Through the use of two feedback mechanisms, identity change and the use of performance-based management tools, they came to understand the environmental impacts of their farm practices on the surface and groundwater in their watershed. The practices they use now allow them to remain profitable and protect the soil and water on their land. In the process, many of these farmers have changed their attitudes and beliefs about their role in the quality of the water that leaves their farms and flows into the Mississippi River Watershed.
