The Conservation and Natural Resources State Wide Action Team (SWAT) is one of twelve SWATs that focus on different issue areas. The purpose of the Iowa Farm Bureau’s SWATs is to provide:

• education to SWAT members so IFBF has a well-informed “panel of experts” on issues;
• an additional avenue for input to the organization in issue surfacing;
• a group that can be asked to participate in policy implementation (feedback on specific regulations, attendance requested at town hall meetings, etc.);
• input on IFBF programming needs.
• input to the IFBF Board of Directors on items for their information.

To make the best use of our volunteers’ time, most of the communication with the SWATs will be done via email and this website.
