Phase 2
Marginal Land Solutions

Nature-Based Solutions to Increase Producer Profitability

We are asking producers to convert 1 to 20 acres within 1 to 3 fields to a perennial forage and keep it converted for 3 to 4 years.

 

 An adjacent area with the same crop rotation would be kept as a control patch for each field and farmed normally.

During that time we will conduct research on the converted areas and the control patches. This may include soil testing, acoustic recordings for wildlife, and carbon measurements.

 

Note: ​Phase 1, precision yield data collection, is mandatory for participation in Phase 2.

In return the producer will receive:

  • $75/acre/ year for 2 years (possibly 3yrs) for land use

  • Seed reimbursement (details to follow)

  • A guidance document on additional programs that the producer may seek for funding
