		<description><![CDATA[Everett Griner at Southeast AgNET tells us today how agriculture research is slowing down in the current economic/political environment.  This is not good for agriculture.  American farmers now compete in an ever-changing global economy.  To compete, they must innovate, and innovation means taking risks &#8211; innovative practices and crops are by definition possible (likely?) to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=practicalconservation.org&amp;blog=3470355&amp;post=396&amp;subd=practicalconservation&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

The final report was just published by NRCS and is available online.  It summarizes a suite of research projects that will improve conservation on farms.

		<description><![CDATA[Here is a good summary about the effects of European conservation programs on mammals.  The applications to North American programs are easy to see.  Good thing, too, because N. American research on mammals in CRP and other programs is sorely lacking. McDonald, D.W., F.H. Tattersall, K.M. Service, L.G.Firbank, and R. E.

There are chapters [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=practicalconservation.org&amp;blog=3470355&amp;post=43&amp;subd=practicalconservation&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
