PF & QF’s 2023 Farm Bill Priorities. Learn more at the link below.
While it’s still winter across much of the country, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever efforts focused on the 2023 Farm Bill are starting to heat up in Washington, D.C. Reauthorized every five years, the current Farm Bill runs through this September, meaning Congress must pass, and the President must sign, a new bill that will guide CONSERVATION policy for the next five years!
That’s where you come in! Learn more about our 2023 Farm Bill priorities and how you can help us turn the tide for wildlife habitat at: quailforever.org/BlogLanding…

U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced a new general signup for the Conservation Reserve Program running from February 27 through April 7, 2023. CRP has long been the nation’s most important tool for targeting environmentally sensitive lands with conservation practices that produce wildlife habitat, cleaner waters, healthier soils, and a more resilient climate.
There are nearly 23 million acres enrolled with a 27-million-acre cap set for fiscal year 2023. Additionally, producers and landowners can enroll acres under the Continuous signup, including sought after practices such as the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) and State Acres for Wildlife Enhancement (SAFE) initiative. Contact your local PF or QF biologist for signup options!
Learned a lot about some cool new technology and equipment at the @TriGreenEquip ag field day #precisionag #JohnDeere

This podcast episode addresses many of the challenges we are attempting to address in my thesis project.

A dedicated group of students who show up with an 2 hour notice to do a #prescribedfire for a future #EQIP pollinator planting. It's nice to have places like @PrairieWildlife to demonstrate real conservation to students at @MSU_CFR. @quail4ever @jeff_grayum @Caleb_M_Blake

Sometimes I get frustrated while trying to track down an older journal article on the internet… but then I remember that 98% of my research was done by sitting on my computer, unlike the old days. #perspective #research
