A new initiative hopes to connect the growing number of women farmers and landowners in Wisconsin with federal conservation programs.
Wisconsin Women in Conservation is a three-year program funded by the state office of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
Led by farmer groups like the Michael Fields Agricultural Institute and Wisconsin Farmers Union, the initiative hopes to provide regional workshops, field days and mentorship programs focused on land and water conservation. The program started a series of regional meetings on Zoom this week and organizers hope to offer in-person activities this summer.
Kriss Marion, communications director for the project, said NRCS started the effort as a way to increase involvement in federal conservation programs.
The following ag leaders voice their support for the bill:
Darin Von Ruden, Wisconsin Farmers Union president. “Rising average temperatures, shifting precipitation patterns, changing growing seasons, and increasingly frequent and severe weather events are making it more difficult to grow food, feed, fuel and fiber. The effects of climate change are becoming clear across rural America, and the past few springs have been especially challenging for family farmers and ranchers. In many areas across Wisconsin, it has been too wet to put seeds in the ground, forcing many farmers to rely on prevented planting insurance coverage to make ends meet.
This isn t the way I wanted it to end : Dairy farm shuts down after 148 years Rick Barrett, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
ELEVA - One at a time for six days, the 27 livestock trailers pulled up to the barn at Adams Dairy Farm, as if part of an extended funeral receiving line.
They came from other parts of Wisconsin, and Iowa and New York, picking up youngstock first, then their share of 600 cattle.
When the last rig eased over to State Highway 93 on Tuesday, dairy farming ceased on this expanse of Trempealeau County land that s been in Paul Adams family since shortly after the Civil War.
