Professor J. Arbuckle published in the most recent issue of Society & Natural Resources. Arbuckle authored the article "Measuring and Predicting Iowa Farmers’ Current and Potential Future Use of Cover Crops" with Laurie Nowatzke, Coordinator of the Midwest Climate Hub in Ames, Iowa.

The article draws on the reasoned action approach and diffusion-adoption frameworks to understand individual-level and external factors that influence farmers’ adoption of cover crops, an agricultural conservation practice.The study explores variation among non-adopters and contributes to a more nuanced understanding of potential future adopters of cover crops in Iowa.
