"We have not been the best stewards of our soil and water resources," he said, noting that erosion has at least halved the 12 to 16 inches of topsoil covering Iowa prairies when they were first cultivated a century ago. "It's been estimated that only one-third Iowa's 26 million acres of croplands is adequately protected against soil eroision," he said. "Farming in the most careless way, this valuable topsoil will last only about one-third of a century," Greiner said. "Using the soil conservation system, the original soil lasts 22 centuries with more produced to take its place. Greiner said saving Iowa's soil would be enormous and costly, costing $2 billion exclusive of technical assistance to farmers.
