and promising big changes. (donald trump/ (r) presidential candidate) we are going to start winning again. and we are gonna win so much you are going to be so happy. we are going to make america so great again.. maybe even greater than before. (bernie sanders/ (d) presidential candidate) what began last week in iowa... what voters here confirmed tonight... is nothing short of a political revolution ohio governor john kasich suprised many with a strong second place finish. with the establishment candidates splitting votes, new hampshire did little to define a republican challenger to take on donald trump and ted cruz. a disappointing finish for marco rubio -- robbing his campaign of the momentum it had from a strong finish in iowa. rubio blamed his performance in the last debate.

coordinator for the wqi project in the headwaters of the north raccoon. watershed project coordinator, anita patrick, said theres a variety of tools farmers can use when trying to improve water conservation. while many of the tools and practices are readily available, patrick says the biggest challenge is getting those informed..and united. "we do recognize that farmers can do their part and we are focusing on equipting local farmers and producers and landowners with tools that help them make environmentally sound decisions," says patrick from choosing to implement cover crops like winter hardy cereal rye or perenial grasses to utilizing nitrogen sensing technology, patrick assures landowners that there's a conservation method for every situation, it's just a matter of choosing the right one. "with the watershed management plan, we hope to prioritize different conservation practices and match them up to different locations," says patrick. patrick doesn't believe that making mandatory laws governing farming practices would be effective since all farm lands are different and require a different set of standards. "we recognize that every oporation is different and there's no one single practice that's going to fit the issues. it's going to take a whole suit of practices, it's going to take cooperation, everybody to make it work," says patrick. lukas: and that study is not associated with an ongoing legal battle lukas:

wednesday... and millions of people will be eating fish today. so howard has a recipe that is so good... it will make you feel like fish in the water. "with today being ash wednesday, christians around the world are receiving ashes to recognize the beginning of lent. and beyond the many observances that take place during this time, many of you will be eating a lot more fish. so to help keep things exciting, we came up with a new fish dish that i know you're gonna love. we start off by cutting about a pound and a half of fish fillets into individual portions. or even easier . you can buy them pre- portioned from the freezer case. we lay them on a baking dish, and set them aside for a sec while we mix together some sour cream, parmesan cheese, paprika and a little salt and pepper. now we spoonhis over each fillet and finish them off with a bit of italian breadcrumbs. this is gonna add a ton of flavor. right before popping these in the oven we drizzle on some melted butter and that's it. and if you're wondering "what's the best fish to use", we like a mild white fish like, cod, haddock or farm- raised catfish. when this comes out of the oven, piping hot, you'll get the creaminess of the sour cream blended with the parmesan, which is one amazing combo. it's so good, i hope you'll go online and get the recipe for our, "sour cream crowned fish fillets" so you'll have a new way to keep things interesting. i'm howard in the mr. food test kitchen, where today we found a "flavor- packed way" for you to say . "ooh it's so good!!" " lukas: if you would like a
