Iowa now has regulations governing gravesites. Until a few years ago, 'pioneer cemeteries' if on private land could be plowed up and farmed if the owner wanted too.
It's a little harder now.
For 'landlocked' cemeteries, caretakers and relatives are granted access after harvest time.
Volunteer organizations are locating and preserving the pioneer cemeteries that remain.
