Iowa has long been known as the heartland of farming in the U. S. But a changing climate and environment are washing away soil and weakening its health. However, most family farmers here, who have owned and worked the land for generations, recognize soil health is crucial in reducing the worst effects of climate change.

Wendy Johnson left Iowa to pursue a career in fashion in California in 2002.But when her grandmother passed away, Wendy began thinking about the legacy (家业) of the family farm: She didn't want to see all the hard work her grandparents and parents put into the land here lost.

Thus, in 2010, Wendy returned and began co-managing the family farm, Center

View Farm, with her father. Center View Farm was already an early adopter of no-till (免耕) farming then. Tilling the soil actually degrades soil health. Experts estimate the planet loses billions of tons of rich soil each year. This would be a disaster for the world's food systems unless regenerative agricultural practices, which help fight climate change and grow food while restoring nature, are adopted. For example, in no-till farming, new seeds are planted directly into the residue (残留) of previous crops.

But Wendy wanted to do more. Since she moved back, Wendy has been working with Practical Farmers of Iowa (PFI), a farmer-led nonprofit, to innovate the way her family farms. She managed to plant various cover crops to preserve the richness of the soil. She also attended the field days hosted by PFI that help connect farmers and enable them to learn from each other's innovations. At one PFI field day, she learned about organic animal raising. Now, while Center View Farm continues to provide the main income stream for her parents, Wendy started Jóia Food & Fiber Farm, a certified organic farm, to test other restorative practices.

4．What motivated Wendy to return to Iowa?

A．Her love of her grandmother.

B．Her promise to farm with her father.

C．Her dream of being a fashion designer.

D．Her desire to carry on her family's work.

D　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But when her grandmother passed away...put into the land here lost.”可知，温迪想继承家族事业的愿望促使她回到艾奥瓦州。

5．Why is Center View Farm mentioned in paragraph 3?
