Creating Pollinator Habitat can earn YOU $1,000 Cash
Sand County Foundation is offering $1,000 cash incentives to crop consultants 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. This incentive is independent of other incentive programs for farm owners/operators. 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, visit Sand County Foundation’s project webpage.
Don't forget to mark your calendars for the 2019 WAPAC Annual Meeting and Conference!
