The goal will be to monitor fields, planted at different seeding rates of spelt, to determine bird use and breeding. An additional goal will be to monitor the yield of these fields to determine if certain seeding rates, although beneficial to breeding birds, may not be economically beneficial to producers to consider in their rotation. An analysis of the production cost/income of spelt as an alternate crop to production/income of warm season grasses (WSG) that are used for biofuels will be performed.

The goal of this Conservation Innovation Grant is to manage fish wastes created by a fish aquaculture production through two filtration systems for purification of the water. The grantee proposes to incorporate a swirl filter with a growbed as the first aquaponic filtration system and then test it against a biological filter. In addition, since have both systems are available we would like to run them together in stages to determine the difference in clarity and cleanliness of the water between individual system's results. . The goal of this grant is to create a practice that can be used by aquacultural fish producers to treat fish waste and reduce water use. Resource concerns that will be addressed with these technologies include water quality and water quantity.
