US corn farmers get tools for sustainable agriculture practices
A new $2.8 million program is empowering corn farmers across the United States to embrace regenerative farming practices. This collaborative initiative, backed by leading organizations and Precision Conservation Management (PCM), aims to improve agricultural sustainability and economic outcomes for farmers.
Over the next five years, the program will cover over 100,000 acres of farmland, equipping farmers with tools to implement reduced tillage, cover cropping, and better nitrogen use.
By easing administrative burdens and providing conservation education, the initiative seeks to enhance soil health and boost profitability.
Greg Goodwin, Director of PCM, stated, “Farmers are spread thin and are already making hundreds of management decisions each year. Our specialists work hand-in-hand with farmers to identify opportunities to improve the health of their farmland and success of their operation.”
