Great blog from Casey Hunter, our summer fellow, on the multiple benefits of #covercrops and other conservation practices for wildlife, climate and more!

Our modern agricultural system has become more and more productive and efficient! ...at extracting all present and future value from the land and farming communities and putting it straight into corporate pockets. Re-connect to your food choices if/when you can.

Sadly, grassland bird species like the bobolink have declined by 53% in the past 50 years as our grasslands have disappeared. Please urge Congress to #ActforGrasslands ow.ly/L5Ny50G77bS

Colin O'Mara: "Using #covercrops reduces soil erosion, improves productivity, and reduces flooding impacts. There's a #climate co-benefit but let's do it because it improves the economics; because it improves the soil health." #conservation

A simple flushing bar ahead of the hay mower can help prevent wildlife injuries. This is just 1” pvc. On 11 acres I flushed 2 hen pheasants & 3 whitetail fawns. Nobody hurt! Pheasants Forever MN Deer Hunters Assn

First, if you want reliable information, pay good money for it. If you get your news for free, you might well be the product. The second rule of thumb is that if some issue seems exceptionally important to you, make the effort to read the relevant peer-reviewed literature.
