2018
The goal of this project is to establish four long-term demonstration sites of different cover crops species to better inform non-industrial private forest landowners, foresters, and policy makers about possible native alternatives to current BMP recommendations for soil stabilization on forest roads.

2018
The goal of this project is to provide tree fruit growers in South Carolina with an irrigation strategy that can be used in orchards with trees on raised beds and that optimizes water use efficiency, maintains or improves soil health, and reduces soil NO3- and K+ leaching, while maintaining or enhancing orchard productivity. To achieve this goal, this project proposes to carry out an on-farm conservation research and field demonstration project.

2018
The purpose of this agreement is to enable NRCS and GSWCC to demonstrate the effectiveness of Georgia Cover Crop Standards (Code 340) by conducting field tests of species mixes in the Coastal Plain and Piedmont land use areas of the state. This agreement seeks to address and expand upon an important agronomic tool of using cover crops for soil health in agricultural production systems. The field tests will present state-specific examples of blended cover crops, display species-specific seasonal growth patterns, and acquire data addressing impacts on soil health and crop production. We anticipate the beneficiaries of this project to include row crop producers, cattle and other grazing animal producers, organic farmers, and horticultural researchers

2018
This project seeks to demonstrate conservation forage practices management on Johnson Creek Farm Pastured Pig Project. The goal is to educate other farmers regarding this pasture finished practice is paramount to the overall goals of the project. Recording and disseminating information throughout the process will be vital in allowing this to occur.

2018
This project will develop and apply soil health management system for two dominant agricultural systems in northern Michigan through on-farm demonstrations. The soil health management systems will integrate the use of cover crops, conservation crop rotation and reduced tillage systems for northern climates. The two agricultural systems will be dairy-based and pasture-based beef.
