Fall is a great time for farmers to establish a pollinator habitat.
Nicole Hasheider, director of biotechnology and crop inputs with the National Corn Growers Association, says NCGA is encouraging members to establish pollinator habitats.
“Corn acres cover a lot of the Midwest and that’s a primary migration routes for monarchs, honeybees, and other pollinators as well,” she says. “And so, we just want to make sure we are being good neighbors and showing that we care about the broader health of the ecosystem.”
She tells Brownfield fall offers farmers a post-harvest planting window before things freeze and the planted seeds will not germinate until the following spring.
