2015
Determine how often SAFE projects are successful in establishing native forbs and grasses.Determine how seed mix design, seeding rates, equipment used for seeding (grain drill vs. native seed drill), timing of seeding (fall vs. spring), age of seeding, seedbed preparation (mechanical vs. chemical), post-seeding management practices (mechanical vs. chemical), and competition from existing and invading weed populations influence plant composition of CRP-SAFE projects to inform land managers about what SAFE management practices are successful at creating quality habitat and what management practices fail. Another objective is to evaluate CRP-SAFE fields by estimating demographic rates of grouse occupying a CRP-SAFE landscape in Power County Idaho where both CSTG and GSG occur.

The purpose of this project is to develop the frameworks and partnerships needed to stimulate the issuance of green bonds, and other innovative financing mechanisms, for natural infrastructure. This project connects investors, utilities, water-dependent companies, municipalities, EQIP eligible landowners, and environmental groups to build replicable templates and processes that unlock private sector financing for conservation, restoration and enhanced stewardship on America’s farms, forests and ranches.

2015
The purpose of this project is to demonstrate how farmers can apply inter-seeded cover crop planting and management technologies to reduce nitrate nitrogen losses in annual corn cropping systems in the upper Midwest. This project will demonstrate multiple alternatives including early establishment of Cover Crops through inter-seeding, as well as the incorporation of potentially income-producing winter annual oil-seed crops into existing cropping systems in the upper Midwest.
