On-Farm Rice Conservation Opportunity

Presented by: Josh Hankins, Director – Grower Relations, Rice Stewardship Partnership, USA Rice

Presented by: Dr. Scott W. Manley, Director Conservation Programs, Ducks Unlimited
USA Rice and Ducks Unlimited formed the Rice Stewardship Partnership in 2013 to conserve three of our Nation’s critical natural resources; working ricelands, water, and wildlife habitat. The Partnership has helped bring $97 million of financial assistance to rice producers to implement conservation practices on 800,000 acres. With project signups available to rice producers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Missouri, you have the opportunity to take advantage of these additional funds and make improvements to your operation.
