自2016年以来,西南爱荷华州的一项州费用分摊方案帮助将16,000英亩生产效率较低的耕地转变为牧场,改善土壤健康和水质,同时扩大放牧机会。 A state cost-share program in southwest Iowa has helped convert over 16,000 acres of less-productive cropland into pasture since 2016, improving soil health and water quality while expanding grazing opportunities. 该倡议由爱荷华州农业与土地管理部管理，通过爱荷华州的水质倡议，为八个县提供围栏、供水系统和覆盖作物的资金和技术支持，总计1500万美元——其中1170万美元来自州政府。 Administered by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, the initiative supports eight counties with funding and technical assistance for fencing, water systems, and cover crops, totaling $15 million—$11.7 million from the state—through Iowa’s Water Quality Initiative. 该方案延长了三年,使农民能够采取养护做法,加强土地可持续性和牛群管理,参与者报告说,侵蚀减少,农场生存能力提高。 The program, extended for three years, enables farmers to adopt conservation practices that enhance land sustainability and cattle management, with participants reporting reduced erosion and better farm viability.
