2020
The project will focus on recycling tailwater using agricultural return-flows to develop irrigation strategy by either combining tailwater and ground water or using tailwater alone, depending on specific salinity and suspended solid levels, for crop production.
Friends of Teton River, Inc
|
ID, WY
|
2020
This project will demonstrate and evaluate a stakeholder-driven, science-based approach to water management in Southeastern Idaho that uses market forces to incentive early season aquifer recharge. Intended benefits will be an extended local irrigation season, enhanced farm productivity, and improved habitat and water quality for critical fish and wildlife species.
Newtrient, LLC
|
IL
|
2020
This project will evaluate 15 technologies and practices, document the results and case studies to help drive more widespread industry adoption of effective technologies and practices to improve water quality.
First Nations Development Institute
|
AZ, NM
|
2020
First Nations Institute will work with two Native American organizations, taking a community-focused approach to empower Native American agricultural producers both individually and collectively to create, implement, and sustain conservation strategies that will address water quality and watershed management issues. They will develop a conservation planning training and build capacity to address watershed issues.
Practical Farmers of Iowa

2020
The project will document the complete value proposition of extended rotations to support farmers and supply chains to scale up the entire package of best practices including the use of small grains with legume cover crops, synthetic fertilizer reductions and early manure applications.
Rid-All Foundation, Inc.
|
MI, NM, OH
|
2020
This project will develop community-based /scaled appropriate technology that expands the capabilities and financial viability of urban and rural regenetrative agriculture practioners. The project will utilize renewable bioenergy systems to enable four-season agricultural production; produce biochar as a cop=product of bioenergy system generation; and explore additional biochar applications at demonstration sites.
Texas Water Trade
|
NM, TX
|
2020
The project will demonstrate that instream flows can be enhanced through voluntary water rights agreements in Texas that improve the financial resilience of agricultural water rights holders, as evaluated by using the Flows Restoration Accounting Framework (FRAF).
Playa Lakes Joint Venture
|
AZ, CO, KS, NE, NM, OK, TX
|
2020
The project will build an online decision support tool to estimate effects of wildlife programs and practices on populations of grassland birds. The decision support tool will use existing geospatial and bird monitoring data to and build on years of conservation planning and delivery experience across four Migratory Bird Joint Ventures. The innovative, interactive tool will be spatially explicit, integrate across breeding and non-breeding seasons, and potentially integrate across international borders.
Texas A&M Agrilife Research
|
AZ, CA, TX, WA
|
2020
Texas A&M will use innovative integration of camera, image, and sensor technology to create a tool to monitor wildlife tepcially difficult to observe. Dramatic images, fine-scale data, ArcGIS compatibility, and an accessible web interface will empower producers and scientists to better monitor wildlife on agricultural land.
The University of Minnesota
|
MN
|
2020
This project will develop an effective, efficient and economically feasbile system that does not require pre- or post- treatment and will mitigate the highly toxic and odorous hydrogen sulfide gas released from pit manure storages and be an environmentally-friendly solution to H2S emissions from dairy manure storage.
