Also: Iowa Kernza grower Lee Tesdell is featured in a new article from KCUR 89.3 covering the importance of incorporating native prairie plants and perennial crops into the corn and soy-dominated landscapes of the Midwest to protect soil and water quality.
"Research shows that converting as little as 10% of a corn or soybean field into a prairie strip can reduce soil erosion by 95%. Prairie strips also help reduce nutrient pollution, store excess carbon underground, and provide critical habitat for pollinators and grassland birds." https://www.kcur.org/news/2024-09-23/prairie-strips-soil-water-wildlife?
