DU Agriculture Programs

Scaling soil health practices that reduce erosion, minimize nutrient loss and build long-term resilience. Through cover crops, no-till farming and buffer zones, we help farmers enhance productivity while protecting their land for future generations.

Helping ranchers improve pasture health, boost livestock performance and strengthen economic stability. By implementing rotational grazing and optimizing water management, we ensure sustainable grazing systems that benefit both the land and the herd.

Advancing infrastructure and practices on rice farms to sustain water delivery, conserve resources and create vital habitats for migratory waterfowl. Through innovative partnerships, we support farmers while protecting wildlife.

Protecting farmland and natural landscapes for future generations through voluntary conservation easements. By safeguarding critical habitats and ensuring sustainable agricultural use, we help landowners leave a lasting legacy.
