Farmers can use precision field data to analyze and identify potential areas to enroll in federal conservation programs or use to plant #pollinator habitat. @Farms4Monarchs spoke with Adam Jones of @MFA_Inc to discuss precision agriculture. #monarchs farmersformonarchs.org/preci…
Preparing your habitat for a Rx fire? Now is the time to install firebreaks to prepare for a spring burn. Fire is a great way to retain diversity in habitat. Read here & listen to our interview with the Nebraska Rx Fire Coordinator with @pheasants4ever. farmersformonarchs.org/presc…

In a report released this week from the World Wildlife Fund Mexico (WWF), scientists determined #monarchs occupied 2.84 hectares in December 2021, a modest increase from the 2.10 hectares occupied in December 2020. @Farms4Monarchs has more. farmersformonarchs.org/hope-…
One of our friends and active #pollinator advocates @FarmrHuntr shared this fantastic photo captured near his farm in Iowa! This photo does a great job of summing up how #agriculture and #habitat overlap and how important it is for us to work together to make landscape change!

Pheasant Fest and Quail Classic @pheasants4ever in Omaha, Nebraska with @MonarchsJV this past weekend was great! Many landowners from across the country showed up to ask about habitat and possible programs/assistance available to them.
In addition, the western New Year's Count was also released this past week! Follow the link below for more information.

New study shows benefits of pollinator habitat!
"Even though soybeans are not thought of as being dependent on pollinators, we found that soybean plants are still attractive to bees...[and] the presence of pollinators was associated with larger soybeans."
