thank you for posting this article, it will be printed off and given to two of our lease farmers and another neighbor who has a 'vineyard/christmas tree farm.'
we have taken quite a bit of initiative and worked with a prairie restoration company lol prairie restoration llc and prairie moon nursery to plant pollinator species and restore about a 4 acre field to natural habitat and pollinator plants. the crop land has large buffer zones planted on either side. as much as we yak about it, farmers here really don't care. at some point they won't have our fields to plant if they continue to not get it.
