CHALLENGES, OPPORTUNITIES, ACTIVITIES CONTINUOUS LIVING COVER

CHALLENGES (CLUSTERED) High and rising price of grains Low and dropping price of coal and CNG Lack of and/or nascent biomass market(s) Non operational land owners Logistics, machinery, volume Value of CLC Policy: gov’t programs contradictory Economic return for annual crop seed Lack of business interest in developing perennial grain seed

CHALLENGES (CLUSTERED) Lacks institutional support Current rules effectively eliminate agroforestry practices from consideration for govt subsidies and cost-share programs Limited knowledge of agroforestry among agency personnel Often relegated to a number of disconnected, disperse and independent practitioners which limits impact at landscape level

OPPORTUNITIES (CLUSTERED) Many (at-scale) projects to teach us lessons Biomass the potential to provide multiple benefits Programs are developing metrics, including sustainability indices Farmer learning networks Business opportunities Value of cover crops

OPPORTUNITIES (CLUSTERED) Improve agroforestry connections to other CLC strategies (and watersheds) through GLBW Incorporating stewardship into land mgmt

OPPORTUNITIES (CLUSTERED) Network producers – roving herds to graze cornstalks, rehabilitate land, manage public grazing lands, remove invasive species Demonstrate opportunities for young farmers Research and reach out to non-operating landowners Perennial forage in rotation boosts annual crop yields and reduces input costs

MOST IMPORTANT CHALLENGES

WINNABLE CHALLENGES

MOST IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITIES

WINNABLE OPPORTUNITIES

CHALLENGES/OPPORTUNITIES Cover crops Non operational land owners Logistics, machinery, volume Value of CLC Policy: gov’t programs contrdictory Farmer learning networks Business opportunities Value of cover crops

CHALLENGES/OPPORTUNITIES Agroforestry Improve agroforestry connections to other CLC strategies (and watersheds) through GLBW a. Annual meeting like this one or different model to enhance interaction. b. Start collecting tools in central location for easier incorporation of agroforestry (i.e., targeting tools for riparian buffers for multiple purposes) Lacks institutional support Current rules effectively eliminate agroforestry practices from consideration for govt subsidies and cost-share programs Limited knowledge of agroforestry among agency personnel Often relegated to a number of disconnected, disperse and independent practitioners which limits impact at landscape level

CHALLENGES/OPPORTUNITIES Bioenergy High and rising price of grains Low and dropping price of coal and CNG Lack of and/or nascent biomass market(s) Many (at-scale) projects to teach us lessons Biomass the potential to provide multiple benefits Programs are developing metrics, including sustainability indices

CHALLENGES/OPPORTUNITIES Perennial forages and grazing

GOALS/ACTIVITIES Cover crops Long-term research at watershed and plot level to establish water and soil quality benefits and value of cover crops to producers Educational and promotional programs to inform public and landowners on the value of cover crops & to educate farmers, CCAs, and land managers on implementing cover crops Logistics and infrastructure for establishing cover crops in corn- soybean rotations Working toward government programs that remove barriers to adoptions and provide incentives for cover crop adoption.
