The Patrick F. Taylor Foundation Grant project will develop model farms on commercial agricultural operations with demonstrations of science-backed best management practices as components of overall conservation programs for grain crops and sugarcane. The overall goals of the demonstrated BMPs are to be economically and environmentally efficient.

Message from Mrs. Taylor

The research conducted for this project is done so in conjunction with the Patrick F. Taylor Foundation. The results of science and data based research will support model farm outreach and education efforts.

Resources

A primary goal of this project is to develop a portfolio of best management practices that can be implemented by grain crop and sugarcane farmers. As research for this project progresses, resources for educational efforts and model farm outreach will be developed and made available.
