2020
The project goal is to conduct evaluations and demonstration trails with participation of producers and other value chain members on newly developed seed coating technologies and planting techniques for wildlife improvemnet projects.
Whiteriver Regional Irrigation
|
AR
|
2020
Reduce in-field water use by 10% through improved irrigation water management and improve profitability by implementing innovative technologies such as water reuse. This project will utilize and develop advanced technology for irrigation scheduling to reduce water consumption through more efficient water capture and storage and demonstrate water reuse with proper scheduling and incorporation into irrigation water management (IWM) plans.
American Council for An Energy Efficient Economy

CO, IL, MA, OR, PA, WA
|
2020
The project will innovate a market transformation initiative to accelerate resource efficiency throughout the controlled environment agricultural (CEA) sector.
American Farmland Trust
|
OH
|
2020
This project addresses water quality in the Upper Scioto River (USR) Watershed, and thereby the Ohio and Mississippi rivers and the hypoxic dead zone in the northern Gulf of Mexico, by incentivizing agricultural producers to forbear application of Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP) and Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) during Fall fertilizer applications and in lieu, apply triple superphosphate (TSP) as a substitute. Unlike MAP and DAP, TSP does not contain Nitrogen (N).
Heart of the Rockies

AZ, CA, ID, MT, NM, OR, WA
|
2020
This project will accelerate innovation by developing a community of practice to implement nonlethal predator control techniques across diverse social and ecological contexts. Through a diverse partnership, the project will evaluate the effectiveness of techniques across occupied grizzly bear and wolf habitat, examining potential for new NRCS conservation practices and developing collaborative strategies and producer guidelines for nonlethal predator control.
Louisiana State University

LA
|
2020
The project will focus on recycling tailwater using agricultural return-flows to develop irrigation strategy by either combining tailwater and ground water or using tailwater alone, depending on specific salinity and suspended solid levels, for crop production.
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.
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.
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.
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.
