We are looking for Michigan growers in Lenawee, Hillsdale, and Monroe counties to participate in a new research project to further understand the connection between conservation practices, changes in soil health, and water quality improvements. Growers will receive compensation of $1000 along with a detailed soil health assessment for 1-2 fields on their farm, and will participate in an interview (about 1 hour long) to collect a detailed management history for the fields in the study. If you are interested in participating please fill out this form.
