Project Background
The purpose of this project is to innovate a model to help women landowners request and support higher implementation rates by their farmers for Nutrient Reduction Strategy practices, particularly cover crops and no-till/strip-till which help improve soil health, water quality, and water quantity and to learn more about how best to help women address the barriers to conservation practice implementation.
