Minnesota Fieldprint Platform and NRCS Streamlining Project

Last year Field to Market was awarded an NRCS grant to look at interoperability between the Fieldprint Platform and Conservation Activity Ranking Tool focused on expediting the financial assistance and planning processes for farmers engaged in continuous improvement projects. After mapping the intersections, we are partnering to piloting data collection throughout the U.S. to solicit feedback from Field Office and farmers. In Minnesota, we are partnering with the National Association of Conservation Districts and Stearns County Soil an Water Conservation District.

Engagement Targets

Notes: (1) I Minor fluctuations in the number of retained growers is expected from year to year. These fluctuations may be due to year-over-year crop rotation effects or other factors beyond the control of the project. Enrolled acres represent the total number of acres on an individual farm in a specific year. The ability to report enrolled acres is based on the Fieldprint Project Standard requirement that individual growers enrolled in projects enter at least 10% of the acres managed for a specific crop. (2) Entered acres represent the actual number of enrolled acres for which data is entered in the Fieldprint Platform for analysis.

Objectives

Engage 10 growers to document sustainability performance and streamline access to federal financial assistance.
