Today an essay about the many benefits of installing prairie strips in row crops by Dave Krier of Valley Stewardship Network. These buffer strips next to row crops save soil and nutrient runoff and provide rich habitat for insects and birds.
This is a repeat from about a year ago, but this is such a winning strategy that it is well worth exploring again.
Easy search words for more information are “Iowa State U prairie strips”, and also visit the Valley Stewardship Network website for the work they are doing helping farmers design and install strips, valleystewardshipnetwork.org.
