Showing 1351 - 1360 of 1802 projects
Enhancing Incentives for Hayland and Pasture Management for Declining Grassland Birds
Michigan Department of Natural Resources, via NFWF     |     MI     |     2008
Increase and enhance promising conservation practices on haylands and pasturelands that will benefit grassland birds, including the Henslows Sparrow and Grasshopper Sparrow. Project will form Grassland Bird Partnership with three focus areas in Michigan.
Starting It Local: Transferable Market Infrastructure for Trading Water Quality Credits & Ecosystem Services in the Upper Mississippi River Basin
Minnesota River Basin Joint Powers Board, via NFWF     |     MN     |     2008
Establish and operate incentive programs for various ecosystem services in three watershed areas of the Upper Mississippi River Basin. Project will create local infrastructure and support systems to facilitate participation in Water Quality Credit Trading.
Helping Corn and Cotton Producers to Reduce Nitrogen Loss Using Crop Sensors
University of Missouri, via NFWF     |     MO     |     2008
Assist corn and cotton producers in trying sensoring technology for variable-rate nitrogen management on their farms. Project will closely match nitrogen fertilizer rate to crop need, reducing nitrogen application and loss to water.
Native Warm Season Grasses for North Mississippi Livestock Producers: Reducing Production Inputs with Alternative Forages
North Central MS Resource Conservation and Development Council, via NFWF     |     MS     |     2008
Introduce native warm season grasses to livestock producers in north Mississippi as alternative forages to be used for haying and grazing. Project will reduce input costs, improve water quality, livestock forage, and wildlife Habitat.
Developing and Implementing a New Approach to Outreach, Planning and Technical Assistance in Delivering Innovative Resource Conservation Practices to Strawberry Growers in North Carolina
Center for Agricultural Partnerships, via NFWF     |     NC     |     2008
Develop and implement a conservation training program for North Carolina strawberry growers. Project will create a resource assessment tool to facilitate resource conservation and perform a programmatic case study.
Effective Strategies for Biogas and Nutrient Management Resulting from Anaerobic Digestion in Covered Swine Lagoons
North Carolina State University, via NFWF     |     NC     |     2008
Demonstrate effective, economically-feasible uses for biogas and nutrients derived from swine waste. Project will test a variety of Energy production and nutrient capture technologies and educate agricultural stakeholders about their implementation.
Reducing Soil Erosion through Thermal Pest Control
Propane Education & Research Council, via NFWF     |     DC     |     2008
Demonstrate that weed flaming for agronomic crops can reduce or eliminate the need for tillage operations, thereby conserving moisture and limiting soil dispersal. Project will test propane flaming technology and disseminate educational materials.
Subsurface Drainage Water Management to Reduce Manure Contaminated Drain Discharge
Cornell University, via NFWF     |     NY     |     2008
Achieve a better understanding of how liquid dairy manure interacts with soil porosity. Project will investigate how this interaction influences transport of liquid manure constituents to subsurface drainage outflows.
Grand Lake St. Mary's Shoreline Stabilization Using Geotextile Tubes
Mercer County Soil and Water Conservation District, via NFWF     |     OH     |     2008
The Great Lakes Biochar Demonstration Project
Ohio Farmers Union Family Farm Cente, via NFWF     |     OH     |     2008
Demonstrate carbon sequestration and additional greenhouse gas emissions for nutrient trading systems and opportunities. Project will demonstrate and field test an innovative system to manage animal manure to address Great Lakes water quality impacts.
