Six teams of farmers and farm advisers in the Midwest are demonstrating their leadership in conservation agriculture with the completion of their Good Idea Mini-grant projects, a program run by a multi-state collaboration of Land Grant University-Extension staff. Each grantee team installed an edge-of-field conservation practice on the farmer’s land to reduce nutrient and sediment runoff to local rivers and streams and, ultimately, the Mississippi River, as well as produced a video or podcast to help other farmers learn about what they did.
