But many pollinators like honey bees and Monarch butterflies are in trouble. That\u2019s why NRCS works with private landowners to create food and habitat for pollinators on farms and in forests.<\/p>\n<p>NRCS provides technical and financial assistance through its Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) to help producers voluntarily implement conservation practices such as planting cover crops, planting milkweed, and planting wildflowers, and native grasses in buffers and areas not in production. IN total, more than 3 dozen NRCS conservation practices provide benefits to pollinators.<\/p>\n<p>Two Lincolnview students, Chayten Overholt and Jaden Youtsey, helped complete a pollinator plot located in Pleasant Township, Van Wert County. They volunteered several hours to plant the following plants: bare rooted apple, wild plum, crabapple, elderberry, and blackberry and raspberry bushes. This plot will help to feed bats, butterflies, and honey bees.<br \/>\nTo learn more about EQIP and other technical and financial assistance available through NRCS conservation programs, visit \u201cGet Started with NRCS or local USDA Service Centers\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Department of Agriculture\u2019s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) announced, in April, a new conservation effort for Ohio agriculture producers to help combat future declines of honey bees and Monarch butterflies by providing food and habitat sources.
