Prairie strips: this project focuses on scaling up adoption of prairie strips through farm bill programs (i.e. Crp and eqip). Establishing strips of native prairie grasses and forbs in row crop fields provided disproportionate benefits in terms of water quality, reduced soil erosion, improved soil health, and biodiversity for birds, pollinators and beneficial insects.
