2021
Different combinations of perennial cover crop will be grown in an agroforestry or trellis cropping system to reduce soil erosion, improve water holding capacity and cec, reduce soil compaction, and suppress weed pests. Project objectives are to: document changes in soil health, determine reduction in time spent on weed management, analyzing cost-benefit of cover cropping for citrus and trellis crop systems, and share information via education and outreach events.
Savanna Institute
|
WI
|
2021
The purpose of this grant is to provide funding to Savanna Institute, who will use three sites to plan, design, and ultimately implement agroforestry and silvopasture solutions to address resource concerns, using the NRCS nine step process as a guideline.

2021
This project shares soil health data and practices to increase farm viability and climate resilience.
Sustainable Chesapeake
|
VA
|
2021
This project will demonstrate and evaluate the performance of two controlled traffic farming innovations: tramlining and chaff lining to improve soil health, reduce weed pressure, and improve farm yields on a 2,500-acre farm producing conventional and organic grains and soybeans. Results from the project will be shared through farmer meetings, a field day event, professional conferences, and regional soil health networks.
Trout Unlimited
|
CO
|
2021
Within the Colorado's Gunnison River and Rio Grande basins, Trout Unlimited will work with eight producers to deploy the use of Long-Range Low Power Area Networks (LoRa) to improve wild flood and furrow irrigation water management on irrigated mountain valleys above 5,500 feet elevation. The producers adopting this technology will maintain the benefits provided by flood irrigation practices while improving efficiency in landscapes were more common systems upgrades like sprinklers are not practical.
Practical Farmers of Iowa

IL, IA, MN, NE, WI
|
2020
The project will document the complete value proposition of extended rotations to support farmers and supply chains to scale up the entire package of best practices including the use of small grains with legume cover crops, synthetic fertilizer reductions and early manure applications.
Newtrient, LLC
|
IL
|
2020
This project will evaluate 15 technologies and practices, document the results and case studies to help drive more widespread industry adoption of effective technologies and practices to improve water quality.
Friends of Teton River, Inc
|
ID, WY
|
2020
This project will demonstrate and evaluate a stakeholder-driven, science-based approach to water management in Southeastern Idaho that uses market forces to incentive early season aquifer recharge. Intended benefits will be an extended local irrigation season, enhanced farm productivity, and improved habitat and water quality for critical fish and wildlife species.
First Nations Development Institute
|
AZ, NM
|
2020
First Nations Institute will work with two Native American organizations, taking a community-focused approach to empower Native American agricultural producers both individually and collectively to create, implement, and sustain conservation strategies that will address water quality and watershed management issues. They will develop a conservation planning training and build capacity to address watershed issues.
