Earn $1000 Cash!

Sand County Foundation is offering cash incentives to crop consultants in IA, IL, MN or WI who advise their clients to plant at least one acre of pollinator habitat on land that was cropped in 2018. Consider this offer as you review yield data and profitability maps this winter. A spring seeding of native perennial grasses and forbs could provide stable cover for a field’s trouble spots while providing critical habitat for pollinators. Applications from CCAs or CPCCs will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis. Seeding must be completed in the spring of 2019.

For more information and to apply, visit Sand County Foundation’s project webpage.

Happy 2019!

From all of us at the Partnership for Ag Resource Management!
