2014
Duke Farms Foundation will work with a group of 4-6 EQIP eligible farmers to share information and techniques in a timely manner as well as to cover practical issues that arise in using a multi-species cover crop, to understand the individual farmers’ goals for participating in the NRCS program, determine how they measure their success, review the data on soil health and what appears to work and determine any barriers to their continued use of cover cropping systems. Duke Farms Foundation will hold at least 4 public programs and establish a demonstration for Duke Farms’ visitors and farmers over the three years – to promote the use of cover crops in the region, establish cover crop demo plot near farm , hold annual demonstrations of the roller crimper as part of the Professional Development Workshop series, present annually at the NJ Agricultural Conference, present information at annual Rutgers Twilight Meetings, and other public outreach.

Overall project purpose is to help MA farms evaluate & install energy systems that offset fossil fuel use and meet on-farm energy needs while reducing costs and greenhouse gas emissions. The project will target ag producers currently underserved by energy efficiency & renewable energy incentive programs (i.e, emerging & expanding farms & those that rely on oil, propane and cordwood). Explore the viability of adding solar thermal hot water to list of eligible EQIP practices.

2014
This award is for ASD to demonstrate that agroforestry riparian buffers that produce Non-Timber Forest Products or native fruit and nut trees and shrubs, like pawpaws, elderberries and hazelnuts, could provide an economic incentive for increased adoption and retention of riparian buffers. ASD will partner with Virginia Tech's Department of Forest Resources and Environmental Conservation, the National Agroforestry Center and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to demonstrate, evaluate and document the benefits of agroforestry riparian buffers. ASD will establish 10-15 acres of agroforestry riparian buffers and conduct an economic analysis. Enhance the NAC’s online “Buffer$” tool to include information on the economics of NTFPs grown in agroforestry riparian buffers. This tool will allow users to estimate expected costs, benefits and potential profit margins under alternative financial and production scenarios that they create.
